Taste helps all of us recognize when food is good or bad. When an elderly person loses taste, it can cause a loss of appetite, weight loss, poor nutrition, weakened immunity, and even death.
Normal taste occurs when molecules released by chewing or the digestion of food stimulate special sensory cells in the mouth and throat. These taste cells, or gustatory cells, send messages through three specialized taste nerves to the brain, where specific tastes are identified. Damage to these nerves following head injury can lead to taste loss.
The taste cells are clustered within the taste buds of the tongue and roof of the mouth, and along the lining of the throat. Many of the small bumps that can be seen on the tip of the tongue contain taste buds. At birth, we have about 10,000 taste buds scattered on the back, side, and tip of the tongue.
After age 50, we may start to lose taste buds. We can experience five basic taste sensations: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami, or savory. Umami was discovered by a Japanese scientist in the early part of the twentieth century. It is the taste of glutamate, a building block of protein found in chicken broth, meat stock, and some cheeses. Umami is the taste associated with MSG (monosodium glutamate) that is often added to foods as a flavor enhancer.
The five taste qualities combine with other oral sensations, such as texture, spiciness, temperature, and aroma to produce what is commonly referred to as flavor. It is flavor that lets us know whether we are eating an apple or a pear. Many people are surprised to learn that we recognize flavors largely through our sense of smell. Try holding your nose while eating chocolate. You will be able to distinguish between its sweetness and bitterness, but you can't identify the chocolate flavor. That's because the distinguishing characteristic of chocolate is largely identified by our sense of smell as aromas are released during chewing.
Food flavor is affected by a head cold or nasal congestion because the aroma of food does not reach the sensory cells that detect odors. A distorted sense of taste can be a serious risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other illnesses that require sticking to a specific diet. When taste is impaired, a person may change his or her eating habits. Some people may eat too little and lose weight, while others may eat too much and gain weight.
Many older people believe that there is nothing they can do about their weakened sense of taste. Depending on the cause of your problem, your doctor may be able to suggest ways to regain your sense of taste or to cope with the loss of taste. In many cases, the loss of taste turns out to be a loss of smell. If you think you have a problem with your sense of taste, see your doctor.
Causes and Prevention of Taste Loss in Elderly Parents
Problems with taste are caused by anything that interrupts the transfer of taste sensations to the brain, or by conditions that affect the way the brain interprets the sensation of taste. The most common causes of taste disorders are:
One type of taste disorder is characterized by a persistent bad taste in the mouth, such as a bitter or salty taste. This is called dysgeusia and it occurs in older people, usually because of medications or oral health problems.
The medicines that most frequently cause dysgeusias are drugs to lower cholesterol, antibiotics, blood pressure pills, medications to lower anxiety, and antidepressants. Smokers often report an improved sense of taste after quitting. Sometimes exposure to certain chemicals, such as insecticides and solvents, can impair taste.
Avoid contact with these substances, and if your aging parent does come in contact with them and experience a problem, see your doctor. You can help prevent problems with taste caused by respiratory infections by washing your mom or dad's hands frequently, especially during the winter months. If your elderly parent's taste disorder is made worse by allergies, avoid allergens, such as ragweed, grasses, and pet dander. Also, have your elderly mother or father get a flu shot every year to prevent influenza and other serious respiratory conditions that can result from the flu.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of Taste Loss
There are several types of taste disorders depending on how the sense of taste is affected. People who have taste disorders usually lose their ability to taste or can no longer perceive taste in the same way.
The most common taste complaint is "phantom taste perception" -- tasting something when nothing is in the mouth. Some people have hypogeusia, or the reduced ability to taste. This disorder is usually temporary.
True taste disorders are rare. Most changes in the perception of food flavor result from the loss of smell. Other people can't detect taste at all, which is called ageusia. This type of taste disorder can be caused by head trauma; some surgical procedures, such as middle ear surgery or extraction of the third molar; radiation therapy; and viral infections.
More often, people with taste disorders experience a specific ageusia of one or more of the five taste categories: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami, or savory. Your doctor may refer you to an otolaryngologist, a specialist in diseases of the ear, nose, and throat. After conducting a complete medical history and physical examination, your doctor may run special tests to find out what type of taste disorder you have and how serious it is.
Some tests are designed to measure the lowest concentration of a substance that a person can detect or recognize. Your doctor may ask your elderly mother or father to compare the tastes of different substances or to note how the intensity of a taste grows when a substances concentration is increased.
Scientists have developed taste tests in which the patient responds to different concentrations of a substance. This may involve a simple "sip, spit, and rinse" test or the application of a substance directly to your tongue using an eye dropper. By using these tests, your doctor can determine if your aging mom or dad has a true taste disorder and what type it is. If your doctor suspects that nerves in your parent's mouth or head may be affected, he or she may order an X-ray, usually a CAT scan, to look further into the head and neck area.
Although there is no treatment for any gradual loss of taste that occurs with aging, relief from taste disorders is possible for many older people.
Depending on the cause of your elder's problem with taste, the doctor may be able to treat it or suggest ways to cope with it.
Scientists are studying how loss of taste occurs so that treatments can be developed.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), one of the 27 Institutes and Centers of the National Institute of Health (NIH) leads a broad scientific effort to understand the nature of aging and to extend the healthy, active years of life. In 1974, Congress granted authority to form NIA to provide leadership in aging research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs relevant to aging and older people.
After 14 years with Parkinson's Disease, my senior dad developed this problem. We did try different things with the help of the doctor but nothing changed. My mom and he would add lot of extra seasonings so he could kind of taste things, but overall, he couldn't taste much. I remember he was so frustrated by it, but just kept plugging along with minimal complaints. He set a great example of accepting a problem and dealing with it! I was very proud of him! :)
My husband has had a loss of smell for years and has been diagnosed with Parkinsons. Does anyone know if they r related in any way? Dane
I would definitely discuss this with your doctor. My dad had Parkinson's Disease for several years before he lost his sense of taste. The Mayo Clinic has an interesting article on this which includes the statement, "There are many causes for both conditions. Conditions that cause a reduced sense of smell include nasal and sinus diseases, head trauma, aging, cigarette smoking, many medications, toxic chemical exposure, nutritional deficiencies, some endocrinologic disorders, some neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease), and even a brain tumor."
my mom is 84, with congestive heart problems, and recently had gall bladder removal. On our last trip of four in two monthes, she was given blood transfusions, and was suffering from severe dehydration. She has gradually stopped wanting to eat, starting with fewer healthy foods, and wanting candy and ice cream to not wanting to eat at all. This will be a vicious circle with the anemia and dehydration coming back. Does anyone have suggestions on what I can do.
I am an 85 yr. old woman who has loved cooking and eating from comfort food to gourmet. In the last yr. I have had some health issues--mitral valve stenosis, poor leg circulation resulting in such weight in my legs and feet that in May I was hospitalized and 50lbs of primarily fluid was taken off by aggressive diuretics etc. (at least 35lbs. was fluid because it was weighed...I'm tall and &had wgt. to lose so that's good.) I will always have the circulation problem and have had a LOT of tests on everything!. I am still on diuretic & reduced salt intake. For a while now nothing tastes as good as it used to even tho the food is the same. At first I thought it was mainly the reduced salt, but it's true of even natural things. One M.D. suggested zinc, but it isn't helping. Any other suggestions?
I am 77 years old man and I've ost my sense of tast. I ca't tast salt and butter tasts like lard. I constantly have a bad tast in my mouth. I have tride doctors and tride stoping medications. Is vitimins the answer?
i suggest you keep super clean mouth hygiene first of all, and correct any dental problems. you might have poor blood circulation to your entire body. have an mri of your entire body's circulatory system via radioactive imagining. you swallow a chalklike substance and it shows up where your blockages are. once those are fixed, using minimally invasive laser surgery, you may find your taste and smell improved or back. also look at any impairments or nerve damage to your mouth and tongue and larynx and throat area. if you have acid reflux, take meds to prevent it and change your diet to make sure you don't aggravate it, and sleep upright with pillows behind your back. don't sleep until at least an hour after eating. make sure you exercise at least two times a day, morning and evening. your good circulation is critical, so be sure to do this, even if you are bedridden. do the exercises lying down in your bed. lift your limbs and squeeze your toes and fingers, move your feet and hands around in circles, and your head and neck, gently, in a circle, then reverse it. use mouthwash that is nonalcoholic daily in between brushing your teeth or dentures twice a day at least. brush your upper mouth and tongue daily too to remove growths or bacteria. make sure you are taking adequate multivitamins and minerals daily, and try changing some of your medications if a side effect could be loss of taste or smell. oral health makes a huge difference! make sure your care includes this every single day twice a day at least, with a mouthwash that is gentle but effective. eat fresh fruit and vegetables and nonfat yogurt with fruit, nuts and beans and as much of it uncooked as possible. if you really cannot taste anything despite all this, or smell it, make sure you are getting enough nutrition every day anyway, by being disciplined and eating what you would normally eat in terms of amounts at every meal. never turn down the opportunity to stay healthy! get sunshine once a day for fifteen minutes at a minimum to manufacture vitamin D and take calcium citrate 1200 mg with D3 600 mg tablets daily as well as B12 under your tongue daily. I take b complex pills and eat fish daily, mostly salmon, but also seafood and cod and any other fish i like. i never have chest pains or head pains anymore. i also garden a little daily, nothing heavy. i only work before 10 am or after 4 pm to avoid too hot a sun and skin damage. i wear a broad brimmed hat, put on sunblock on my hands, wear long sleeves and perforated shoes and longer pants or skirts, but make sure i get at least 15 minutes of exposure anyway. it is important to walk if you can, dance if you can, or do exercises in a chair if you must. or on the floor or couch. it doesn't matter where or how you do it, just do it, gently. five minutes is better than no minutes. avoid heavy lifting. get help for some things. eat whatever tastes good, and if nothing tastes good, eat to live. make sure it's just enough calories for good health. best of luck!
its OK. because my dad for over two years now he has been complaining about loss of appetite and a bitter tongue. he is over 70years of age. so thanks for this article it sure would help my dad
Very abstract. I am 74 Lose control of bowls, urine and taste. I live in the moment but it is frustrating. Just a few simple suggestions would have helped.
I'm the 77 yr old who has loss his sense of tast. I've read the suggestions shown and I have been following almost every suggestion put forward. The crazy thing is,I didn't loss my sense of smell. Most food smell great to me but meats tast bad Celery and fruit I can still tast as well as chili products. I get no tast from bacon or ham. I, from time to time have a burning snesation on the lower left had side of my lip. I have also had the feeling of somthing hot being pored into my mouth. To add to my problems, the muscles in my legs are tightening up as I move around becoming extremely painful. This is new, so I wonder if this is connected? Isn't the golden years wonderful?

For same-sex couples fussing over what to serve at their wedding reception, Ben & Jerry's has a new dessert course suggestion: How about Hubby Hubby ice cream? That's right, the premium ice cream maker, renowned for its publicity stunts, has renamed its popular Chubby Hubby flavor to recognize the fact that Vermont's decision to grant gays and lesbians the right to marry took effect on Tuesday. Ben & Jerry's home state in April became the fourth state to recognize gay marriage.
While the company's decision to scoop up Hubby Hubby will certainly cheer proponents of same-sex nuptials, it is likely to leave critics of gay marriage cold. The issue continues to divide the nation, with 44 percent of Americans saying same-sex couples should be able to get hitched, according to an April CBS News/New York Times poll. But does that mean it's a bad move from a branding perspective? One expert thinks not.
"Coming up with Hubby Hubby has no real downside, because the brand is for Ben & Jerry's constituents," says Rob Frankel, author of the book Revenge of Brand X. "More than likely, the radical right would have boycotted Ben & Jerry's a long time ago."
Frankel says successful brands typically stake their claim and hold true to it. Ben & Jerry's has always been known for going against the flow, and people love them for that, he adds. One of the company's first novelties was Cherry Garcia, a reference to the Grateful Dead's front man Jerry Garcia. Garcia was checked in to a drug rehab facility when he died from a heart attack in 1995. "Let's face it, everything has always been very, very left of center," says Frankel, who is based in Los Angeles. "It is reflected in Ben & Jerry's PR."
Of course, Ben & Jerry's is now part of Anglo-Dutch conglomerate Unilever PLC (UL), the name behind household names including Lipton, Dove, and Pond's. "I'm sure that the suits at Unilever are soiling their underwear as we speak," Frankel says. "But for no good reason." Frankel says that boycotts don't have a good track record of working. "It's business as usual."
The Hubby Hubby flavor, which starts with a vanilla malt ice cream base and includes pretzels covered in fudge and filled with peanut butter -- as well as fudge and peanut butter swirls -- will only be available in Vermont during the month of September. That may provide cold comfort to same-sex marriage opponents.

Phoenix Rout Flames, 99-53
Feb. 2, 2013
GREEN BAY, Wis. - The UIC women's basketball team (6-14, 2-5) dropped a Horizon League road contest at #rv/rv Green Bay (17-2, 7-0) on Saturday afternoon at the Kress Center by a final score of 99-53. The Phoenix built up a 30-point halftime lead and kept their foot on the throttle to give UIC its worst loss since Dec. 12, 2003 (DePaul 106, UIC 60).
Green Bay recorded five players in double figures with senior Lydia Bauer leading the way with 23 points. The Phoenix racked up 34 assists and shot 36-of-63 (57.1%) from the floor, including 10-of-24 (41.7%) from behind the arc. The paint was wide open for Green Bay as they outscored UIC, 50-10, from the inside.
"Green Bay continues to be Green Bay," said head coach Regina Miller. "If you make any mistakes they will exploit them and make you pay. We made a lot of mistakes today that you cannot do against a great team like Green Bay."
Senior Taylor Foulks led the Flames with 14 points, including four made three pointers, which brings her four-year total to 208 and a tie for third on the UIC's career leaderboard. Junior Rachel Story chipped in with 12 points to post her 16th double-digit scoring performance of the season.
After back-to-back threes from Foulks, UIC jumped in front of Green Bay, 6-4, in early goings. The Phoenix took hold of the lead (7-6) at the 17:29 mark off the trey by Bauer and the teams proceeded to trade buckets for the next four minutes.
With the score in favor of Green Bay, 11-9, the Phoenix executed a dominating 22-0 run that brought their advantage to 33-9 with 5:27 left in the first half. During that stretch, Green Bay held UIC scoreless for nearly nine minutes as Foulks finally ended the drought with a layup at the 5:04 mark.
Green Bay wasn't finished as they rattled off the next nine points, bringing the score to 42-11 with 3:17 on the clock, their largest lead of the first half.
The Flames seemed to be gaining back some momentum with a 10-4 mini spurt towards the end of the period, but that was quickly squashed on a made three by Jenny Gilbertson as the halftime buzzer sounded. The Phoenix owned a 51-21 lead at the break.
Green Bay forced UIC to commit 13 turnovers in the first half, which produced 20 points for Phoenix. The Flames had trouble defending the arc as Green Bay shot 7-of-17 from the outside in first period. Bauer had three of those deep balls and led all scorers at half with 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Foulks paced the Flames with eight points, but foul trouble kept her on the bench for a good portion of the half.
The second half was much of the same as Green Bay never relented, outscoring UIC 48-32 and shot 18-of-30 (60.0%) from the field. The Phoenix tallied 28 points in the paint and received 25 points from its bench.
The Flames' offense provided a silver lining with 53 overall points, which is nearly six points above Green Bay's season-defensive average of 47.2. Prior to the game, the Phoenix ranked second in the nation in team scoring defense.
Freshman Marissa Grossfeld notched a career-high with eight points in just 12 minutes of action, while freshman Imani Moore saw her first court-time since Jan. 5 and her first points since Dec. 12. Grossfeld and Moore combined to score the final eight points for UIC. Point guard Terri Bender captured a career-high as well with seven assists.
The Flames return home for a Thursday night game against Milwaukee with tipoff scheduled for 7 p.m. CT.

With these styling shortcuts, you'll make your roots less noticeable, concealing regrowth in a hurry. By Bethaney Wallace 2011-09-12 04:15:42 We all want our hair colour to look great, but sometimes touching up our roots gets relegated to the bottom of our to-do list. But every four weeks or so, those pesky grey hairs surface again – whether you have time to deal with them or not. The good news is that there are several simple tricks that can help rescue your roots between colour appointments and still get you out the door, fast. We asked Patrick Melville, Aveeno hair consultant and a top Hollywood stylist who has worked with celebrities including Demi Moore and Catherine Zeta-Jones, to dish six insider tips on concealing roots.1. Use a coloured dry shampooThe benefits of using coloured dry shampoos are twofold: Not only do they hide roots, but they also extend the life of your overall colour. (Washing hair with water and regular shampoo can strip colour molecules from your once-vibrant shade.) "(Dry shampoos) protect the colour and preserve essential moisture and shine for long-lasting brilliance and superior colour retention," says Melville.When your roots begin to emerge, start using a coloured dry shampoo instead of your normal lather-and-rinse routine. Not only will it zap greasy roots, but it will also mask any regrowth in a flash as coloured dry shampoos such as Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder come in blond, white, brunette and black varieties. So if you've got brown hair and your greys are peeking through, one shot of the brunette dry shampoo will mask them. 2. Invest in headbandsWearing headbands is a fun way to hide your roots. They're inexpensive and they come in virtually every pattern, size and colour. But to avoid looking like you belong on the set of "Gossip Girl" – where the cast famously wear thick headbands – Melville suggests a different approach. "Try placing multiple skinny headbands together for a more grown-up look," he says.Page 1 of 2 -- Try a different style or hair cut with our expert's tips, plus learn how to touch up root hair colour on page 2 1 2

Naturopathic Medicine
Nutritional Counseling
Massage Therapy
SOQI Bed-Far Infrared
Naturopathic Oncology
Intravenous Therapy
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease. Symptoms of disease are seen as warning signals of improper functioning of the body, and unfavourable lifestyle habits. Naturopathic Medicine emphasizes disease as a process rather than as an entity.
Treating both acute and chronic conditions, naturopathic treatments are chosen based on the individual patient – their physiological, structural, psychological, social, spiritual, environmental and lifestyle factors. In addition to diet and lifestyle changes, natural therapies including botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, intravenous therapy, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, naturopathic manipulation and traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture, may also be used during treatments.
Intravenous Therapy: Intravenous therapy is the infusion of liquid substances directly into a vein or central vascular access device. The following types of infusions are available:
High Dose Vitamin C (IVC): can be used to enhance the effectiveness and reduce side effects of conventional treatments while also acting as a cytotoxic agent to cancer cells. This therapy is becoming more widely accepted as positive research continues to accumulate demonstrating its effectiveness. Recent studies demonstrate its ability to significantly reduce side effects of chemotherapy/radiation therapy such as fatigue, appetite loss, depression, and sleep disturbances. High-dose vitamin C displays selective cytotoxicity, meaning it can kill cancer cells, leaving healthy cells unaffected. It inhibits tumour growth and metastasis and has been shown to exhibit chemosensitization properties in a select set of chemotherapeutic agents. This means the success of the chemotherapy is enhanced when combined with high dose vitamin C. This effect has not been proven for all types of chemotherapy and thus concomitant therapy with IVC is avoided in such cases.
Immune Boosting IV: provides all the essential vitamins and minerals to keep your immune health strong during cold and flu season. This type of IV treatment has been helpful for those suffering from chronic upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, allergies, frequent colds and flus or chronic fatigue.
Myers' Cocktail: a special concoction of B vitamins, magnesium, and vitamin C offers tremendous benefit to those with asthma, allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, pain, migraines, and fibromyalgia. A recent study conducted at the Yale University School of Medicine demonstrated a significant improvement in quality of life and reduction in tender points, pain, and depression following treatment in patients with fibromyalgia. The Myers' Cocktail has also been shown to be helpful in athletic performance.
Skin Rejuvenation IV: provides all the necessary tools to heal your skin from the inside out. It has all the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids required to repair the skin and promote collagen growth, elasticity, and hydration. This anti-aging IV is high in the essential nutrients and antioxidants required to fight acne, sun damage, sagging skin, dermatitis, and wrinkles.
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy is recognized as one of the oldest methods of healing, with references in medical texts nearly 4,000 years old. Therapeutic massage is outcome based work that is catered toward meeting the clients goals. A variety of different techniques are used depending on the clients goals. Many of the sessions today are geared toward this type of work.
Migun Therapy
The Migun Thermal Massage Bed utilizes a wealth of knowledge by placing both heat and pressure to those points in the body that are connected to certain organs in the body. The treatment uses helium to produce heat and uses jade massage heads to create pressure. This dual form of treatment focuses its attention on the area near and around the spine, the same pressure points that are used in acupuncture and acupressure.
The Effects of the Migun Thermal Massage Bed
In recent clinical trials, it was found that this particular form of thermal therapy has been beneficial to a number of various illnesses including gastro enteric disorder, constipation, headache and blood pressure problems. The Migun Thermal Massage Bed is currently undergoing extensive study at a major U.S. University College of Medicine. In the past, the Migun Thermal Massage Bed underwent clinical tests at seven general hospitals in China and Korea.

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a precise therapeutic technique using the insertion of needles into anatomical sites to encourage the body to promote natural healing and to improve function. Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals (endorphins & serotonin) in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain to change the experience of pain and to influence the body's own internal regulating system.
The World Health Organization recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, including: Headaches, migraines, sinus pain, neck pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, various forms of tendonitis, low back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, stress-related disorders, chronic pain, etc
Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears and their referral areas within zone related areas, which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes without the use of tools, crèmes or lotions, the feet being the primary area of application, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body!
Breast & Full Body Thermography
Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) offers the opportunity of earlier detection of breast disease than has been possible with breast self-examination, physician palpation or mammography alone. Each individual has her own thermal pattern (normally symmetric) that is accurate and static throughout her lifetime. Any changes to her normal "thermal fingerprint" caused by early cell changes (pathology) will become increasingly apparent. Monitoring changes over periods of time with DITI is the most efficient means of identifying subjects who require further investigation. DITI is a non-invasive test. There is no contact with the body of any kind, no radiation and the procedure is painless. The scanning system merely detects and records the infrared radiation that is emitting from the patient's body. Utilizing sophisticated infrared technology and innovative computer software, thermal imaging technicians simply capture a digitized image of the breast in the form of an infrared thermogram, or heat picture.
SOQI Bed-Far Infrared
Also known as Far Infrared Ray (FIR) or Thermal Therapy.
Far Infrared Ray are waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body, where they gently elevate the body's surface temperature and activate major bodily functions. It is the 'chi' energy in humans and animals, also emitted from sunlight. The intensity of Far Infrared produced by the human body constantly fluctuates. When its intensity is high, we feel healthy and are able to overcome ailments. When the Far Infrared (FIR) begins to decline, we are subject to disease and illness and tend to age more quickly. We can be exposed to Far Infrared heat for hours and it will never cause our skin to burn. Far Infrared heat is completely healthy and safe for all living things.
Health challenges below, have been reported in Japan and China as alleviated, reduced or eliminated by the use of Far Infrared Therapy:
Cancer, Leukemia, Prostate Cancer, Heart Attack, Stroke, Asthma, Bronchitis, Sinus problems, Colds, Flu, Fever, Obesity, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Nephritis, Circulation problems, Body Odor, Chilblains, Gout, Hemorrhoids and Piles, Swelling, Inflammation, Arthritis, Tendonitis, Bursitis and Rheumatism, Tumors, Mastitis, Back, Shoulder, Neck and Pains, Lumbago, Neuralgia and Abnormal Nerve Functions, Skin Elasticity and Texture. Chapping, Skin Aging, Wrinkles. Damaged, Burnt and Scarred Tissue. Clogged Pores, Pimples, Acne. Toxicity, Hepatitis, Cirrhosis, Cystitis, Uric Acid. Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers. Menstrual problems, PMS, Yeast problems, Menopause. Fungus, Viruses, Bacteria, Parasites. Migraine, Headaches, Nose Bleeds - Earache, Tinitus. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Raynaud's Disease. Diabetes Mellitus. Sports Injuries.
Benefits of the SOQI – FIR (certainly not limited to):
- Expands capillaries which stimulates increased blood flow, regeneration, circulation and oxygenation.
- Excellent for detox; FIR treatment of clogged capillary vessels, heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. Far Infrared thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals and toxins from the blood: Poisons, carcinogenic heavy metals - toxic substances from food processing - lactic acid, free fatty acids, and subcutaneous fat associated with aging and fatigue - excess sodium associated with hypertension - and uric acid which causes pain.
- Far Infrared stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism - One hour under the HotHouse burns over 900 calories by raising the metabolism and body temperature. FIR heat also breaks down cellulite - trapped water, fat and waste.
- Far Infrared promotes the killing of many pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Reduction of scar tissue and infections is also promoted.
- Far Infrared strengthens the Immune System by stimulating increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by the bone marrow and killer T-cells by the thymus.

This dojo just opened like 30 seconds from my house with a gym and cardio equipment, at $45 dollars a month with no contracts, which around here is pretty darn good.
I don't know much about karate, but I know this form is the one Elvis Presley took, which doesn't necessarily speak in it's favor. The thing is, I've been a full-time student for over a year, and since I got my scooter for my commute, I don't ride my bike as much as I once did, and I all of a sudden realized the other day I was a bit more rolly polly and out of cardiovascular shape than I've been in years, so this would really help me.
So, is Kenpo junk or not?
Hoping we wear gis, I look really good in a gi.

Eagles' vets playing for careers, not just season
November 10, 2012, 10:06 am
If the Eagles spend another January watching the playoffs on TV, it's almost guaranteed that widespread personnel changes will rock the franchise in the offseason.
It will start with the head coach, whose job security has been on thin ice since the owner's preseason claim that his franchise better not repeat last year's 8-8 mark if Andy Reid desires to see season No. 15 in Philadelphia.
After coaching changes, personnel shakeups almost always follow. The Eagles have one of the NFL's youngest rosters based on average age but their core is composed of several high-priced veterans who probably have fewer games remaining than they've already played.
This is why quarterback Michael Vick, who turned 32 this year, wondered recently if the 20-somethings that dress alongside him every day in the Eagles' locker room can relate to the urgency he and the other elder statesmen feel to get this fleeting season turned around quickly.
"That's the question," Vick said. "Do the other guys -- the young guys -- understand what's at stake? Not just as far as our careers go, but for this organization and winning."
Smart franchises don't usually keep around an aging quarterback who goes consecutive seasons without making the playoffs and has a contract that places him among the league's highest paid players.
It's unlikely that Vick would be welcomed back in 2013 -- especially at $15.5 million -- when the team has the option of buying him out for the thriftier price of $3 million.
Likewise, the April drafting of defensive tackle Fletcher Cox at 12th overall and defensive end Vinny Curry in the second round coupled with the turnaround of 2010 first-round defensive end Brandon Graham means that defensive tackles Mike Patterson and Cullen Jenkins and defensive end Jason Babin -- each of whom are over 30 -- could join Vick out the door.
Jenkins and defensive lineman Darryl Tapp took pay cuts to preserve their roster spots this season, so their futures here beyond 2012 were already tenuous. The 32-year-old Babin's steady decline from an 18-sack monster to a pedestrian pass rusher -- he has just 2.5 sacks at the midway point -- makes him unlikely to pocket the nearly $4.5 million he's set to collect next year.
"Even though we're not getting the sack numbers we're accustomed to getting, we're still out here pushing because you never know," Tapp said. "We never know what tomorrow is going to hold for us in our planned situations or next year."
Even players who either aren't yet over the hill by NFL standards, like cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, or haven't shown steep decline, like cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and linebacker DeMeco Ryans, can't be certain that their position or style of play would blend with a new coach and new philosophy.
Let's say the Eagles replaced Reid with a defensive-minded coach whose pedigree is in the 3-4 scheme. Ryans was already discarded by one team that decided he wasn't as effective in the 34 front. By the same token, Asomugha and Rodgers-Cromartie are pure press corners whose skills wouldn't translate to a Tampa 2 scheme.
"We (are) still early in the season," said Rodgers-Cromartie, who is in the last year of the five-year deal he signed as a rookie drafted in the first round by the Cardinals. "When [stuff] gets bad and everyone starts to [doubt], that's when you start to think about it because there is nothing else to think about [except], 'Where is my future on this team?' But we've still got a shot. My main focus is on winning this next game."
That's not to say all of the veterans have completely funneled out any thoughts of what their future holds, or if they still have one beyond this season. It would be ludicrous to think that none of them has started to question their mortality or the franchise's next move after a four-game losing streak has knocked the Eagles under .500 by midseason for the second straight year.
"Probably individually, at some point," said Patterson, who underwent offseason brain surgery and missed the first seven games of the season. Meanwhile, his replacement, the rookie Cox, has quickly emerged into the team's best overall lineman, almost ensuring that Patterson won't ever get the chance to climb back into the starting lineup.
"But on the bigger scale of things, no," he added. "I don't see it right now. I don't see it in guys' faces, it's not in the meeting rooms. We're definitely not showing it out on the field."
The scary thought for guys like Patterson is that this year might present their last, and best, chance to win the Super Bowl and that those aspirations rest on the potential of a dozen or so fledglings who haven't won a playoff game or seen the end of their third seasons.
Seven starters in Sunday's game against the equally dysfunctional Cowboys (3-5) are either rookies or first-year players. Only one player on the roster (Jenkins) has actually won a Super Bowl.
When right tackle Todd Herremans went down with a foot injury Monday night that landed him on Injured Reserve, the Eagles lost one of their seven starters to have played in a conference championship game.
The six rookies or first-year players who will play pivotal roles against Dallas can't possibly comprehend the desperation their aging teammates face to secure their futures.
"Not yet. They're young," Rodgers-Cromartie said. "That's how I was when I came in. The veteran guys, you don't understand [what they're going through] because you're still caught up in the realm of, 'Oh [shoot], I'm in the NFL.' You don't understand that these veterans, it might be their last [chance]."
It's a hard message to preach around the locker room without sounding selfish. Hey, rookie, mind giving a little more effort so I don't lose my job?
When he was drafted out of Southern California in the first round of the 2005 draft, Patterson said then-veterans Donovan McNabb, Hollis Thomas and Tra Thomas tried to school the rookies about the burden they faced to play for their teammates' livelihoods, not just their own.
"They used to tell us the same things -- you don't get a second chance, you want to go out there and play your best every year, every game, you want to make it your best," Patterson recalled. "It's hard. You know it and the older guys are telling you, but it's hard to really understand when you're really young."
Hard? That's one way to understate it.
"It's impossible as a young person," Tapp said. "You're a young person -- like first or second year -- you're invincible. Football is always gonna come tomorrow. But when you start getting in that second contract, which is about Year 4 or 5, then you got more days behind you than you do before you."
Nobody is taking the losses harder than Vick, who's become the target of public ridicule for his 13 turnovers and 77.7 passer rating that ranks him just slightly ahead of Blaine Gabbert and Mark Sanchez.
Vick admitted that losing has weighed heavily on him and that he never imagined that this roster would be mired in the same position as last year's team that nearly played itself out of postseason contention before Thanksgiving.
Of all the veterans who could hit the unemployment line after the season, Vick stands to lose the most. On top of the $15.5 million that he wouldn't see, Vick will be hard pressed to find another Super Bowl-minded franchise willing to hand him the keys to its offense.
This coaching staff and supporting cast give him the best shot to prove he can be the championship-caliber quarterback that his critics have long believed he couldn't be. Right now, the critics are rehearsing their "I-told-you-sos."
"It's been tough. Our expectations were very high," Vick said. "Obviously we thought we'd be in a better position. I'm only speaking for myself, [but] I think other guys in the locker room feel that way.
"It's on us to get it all turned around and we just [have to] keep pushing. The thing is we still have a fighting chance, we still control our own destiny, so we all have to be held accountable."

George Mason's Trial Advocacy Association ("Trial Ad") provides students with opportunities to develop their trial practice skills and gain litigation experience, through simulated curricular and extra-curricular courtroom exercises. Trial Ad members compete in a number of trial competitions throughout the school year, and the association sponsors the regional leg of the National Trial Competition (NTC) each spring. Trial competitions simulate both civil and criminal trials involving issues ranging from medical malpractice to white-collar crime and homicide. To prepare for these competitions, students are trained to conduct many aspects of a jury trial, including motions in limine, opening statements, direct and cross examination, and closing arguments. Coupled with George Mason's excellent trial advocacy coursework, the association continues to be a valuable tool in preparing students to begin their careers as trial lawyers.

Having been supplied new in 1924 to Ferodo founder Herbert Frood with Park Ward All Weather Tourer coachwork, the 45/50hp had been re-bodied as a Drophead Coupe in the late 1950s. Although half a dozen of the higher priced lots in the auction tent failed to attract buying bids this time, a formerly Brewster family member owned 1930 R-R 40/50hp Phantom II with Sedanca de Ville coachwork by Brewster did pull a close to top estimate £77,400. Whilst an only 25,000 miles from new in 1996 Bentley Continental T Coupe attracted a more than guide price £58,700 and a within estimate £52,100 was available for a 1949 Bentley MkVI 4¼-Litre with Park Ward Drophead Coupe coachwork. A 1936 R-R 25/30hp Sedanca de Ville by H J Mulliner that had once belonged to celebrated Berkeley Square R-R and Bentley dealer Jack Barclay himself sold for a within estimate band £42,750 and a 1932 R-R 20/25hp with Tony Robinson crafted 4-Seater Tourer in VDP-style for a much more than expected £42,200. A James Young bodied 1963 Bentley Continental 4-Door found a within estimate £40,550 and the once Alan Whicker owned 1955 Bentley R Type 4½-Litre the required £32,200. The late Barry Burnett's 1938 R-R Wraith raised a more than forecast £25,875 and a 1974 R-R Corniche HJMPW Convertible a low estimate £25,300. While a once Thai Royal Family owned 1929 R-R 20hp, originally with Parisian coachwork, but re-bodied in Putney in 1935, made a better than forecast £24,150 and returns to Thailand. This year, 26 vehicles changed hands for £729,640, an average spend per car of £28,063 - compared to 28 selling for £913,818, an average of £32,636, in 2009. As ever with this hardy annual however, the automobilia was keenly contested with a Rolls-Royce 'Half Hunter' gold-cased pocket watch of 1926 costing £2530 and a Rolls radiator display cabinet £2070. A Bentley 3-Litre Limited Edition of 50 Gent's Swiss-made wrist watches generated £1840 and twenty-four R-R Bulletins from the 1920s and 1930s the same money. A Merlin piston and connecting rod from a Spitfire attracted £1725, a Silver Ghost type Spirit of Ecstasy mascot in solid silver with 2005 hallmark £1610 and a Sterling silver Spirit of Ecstasy from 1977 £1495. Sales Statistics: 26 of the 38 offered cars sold with a 68% sale rate amounting to £729,640 total sales including 15% buyers premium Written by Richard Hudson-Evans

PHOENIX (AP) - John McCain's Republican primary challenger says it was a mistake to tape an infomercial on behalf of a company accused of taking advantage of consumers.
Former congressman J.D. Hayworth says in a statement released late Thursday that he didn't completely check out National Grants Conferences before agreeing to serve as its pitchman.
National Grants Conferences has received widespread criticism for its misleading business tools among officials in both the political and business realms. The company also earned an 'F' "reliability" rating from the Better Business Bureau.
In the infomercial, Hayworth urges viewers to attend a free seminar to learn how to get free government money. Critics say the company used high-pressure sales tactics to persuade people to pay for information that is free online or at a library.
McCain's campaign began airing a television ad Wednesday showing clips of Hayworth's performance and calling him a "huckster."

Yesterday, I was among 150 other IBMers at the "Tour of Tivoli" at the IBM site in Tucson (see photos). Hosted by Laura Sanders, VP of IBM Tivoli Development, the Tour provided demos of Tivoli Service Management technologies that "make sure our customers can deliver what they said they'd deliver within the time and cost they said they could deliver it," as Laura says.
Basically, the tour functioned as an internal state of the union talk where Laura reaffirmed the vision of Tivoli to lead in the Service Management industry by delivering innovative solutions for building and managing a Dynamic Infrastructure that strongly contributes to IBM's initiative to build a smarter planet.
The activities of the day reinforced this vision in very concrete ways by providing educational sessions and product demos of how Tivoli technologies directly contribute to building a dynamic infrastructure and smarter planet. The scope of the demos covered asset management, storage, security, business resiliency, energy efficiency, information architecture, quality assurance, integration, cloud computing, and virtualization.
The vice presidents of development on Laura's team each developed very creative videos explaining the scope and mission of their organization. Dabbling in edutainment, they used concepts from James Bond, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, American Idol, the Geico Gecko, and Johnny Cash to compete for best video. They were all hilarious and very educational at the same time.
Many IBMers tweeted about the experience using the #tivtour hashtag. See the Twitter Search for #tivtour on Twazzup for a running stream of related tweets and photos. The Tivoli Tour runs at many IBM locations this week and in Brazil on May 29. So you can expect to see more Twitter conversations in the near future. You can view a combined pool of photos across the various geographic locations by viewing the Tour of Tivoli 2009 group on Flickr.
I particularly enjoyed the tour because I had a chance to visit with Raj Subramaniam (@ibmstorage on Twitter) and speak with IBM Distinguished Engineer Tom Clark, the Chief Architect of IBM Storage Software, about future innovative storage solutions that will address cloud computing, dynamic information architectures, and the use of new solid state disk technologies. I also had a chance to get a sneak preview of IBM storage archiving solutions that will hit the market in the near future. I could tell you more, but then I'd have to kill you. ;)
While I was in Tucson, I also had the opportunity to interview two IBM experts on solutions they were demoing:

On behalf of the IBM TADDM team, I'd like to thank you for the great response to the first ever TADDM Community Sensor Day to help grow our TADDM community! We had lots of folks interested in sensor day because you helped us spread the news of the event pretty far.
While we had lots of interest, we were only able to work with a handful of clients to build a sensor with us on the first sensor day. We also collaborated with some internal IBM teams. The list of sensors produced include: Informix, Managed Objects, Rational Team Concert server, Microsoft Office SharePoint server, and TADDM.
As the sensors complete certification, they will be published on the TADDM exchange site. The first two sensors, Rational Team Concert and Microsoft Office SharePoint server, are available today at http://tinyurl.com/d8yb3f.
Stay tuned for future sensor day event announcements and training!

First-ever Sensor Day for new TADDM community!
Tiffany Winman 12000065XB email@example.com Tags:  application discovery tivoli sensor dependency taddm community 1,690 Visits
That is Sensor, not Censor. ;)
At Pulse 2009, we announced a new Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery (TADDM) community on developerWorks. With the advent of this community, we also launched a TADDM group on LinkedIn and Facebook. Today, I'm happy to announce the first ever TADDM Community Sensor Day on April 13, 2009 where IBM experts work with you to build customized sensors and grow our TADDM community.
Mike Mallo, IBM TADDM expert provides the following details on our first ever Sensor day below:
Sensor writers made up of TADDM developers, services, and best practices teams will spend a day with you to write new sensors. Since we are targeting the new "simpler to write" community sensors for this program, we suspect it will take one to two days to complete the sensors with the sensor writers.
Here's how it works. You provide the environment and domain knowledge for the sensor writers to build an application sensor. Setup the application to be discovered on a non-production server that you can make available to the sensor writer so there is no impact to production systems during the sensor writing process. Identify the key configuration files and configuration parameters (up to 10) that TADDM should collect with this sensor.
The sensor writer will write the sensor and make it available for testing, and ultimately for publishing on our TADDM community exchange site.
A few notes:
Since the intent is to benefit the community with these sensors, we are only looking to build sensors for commercially available applications, which others in the community will benefit from as well, such as applications on our hit list: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/tivoliaddm/Sensor+Hit+List
IBM does not support PMRs or APARs on these community sensors. Since the sensor source code gets published with the sensor, community members are free to modify, recertify, and repost to add any capability or fix any issues. As usual IBM supports related TADDM product issues under your current support agreement.
April 13, 2009 is our first TADDM Community Sensor Day. Please show your interest by using the "Submit Feedback" link on the TADDM Community at http://ibm.com/tivoli/community/taddm to receive further logistics and details. Submission deadline is April 8, 2009.

Unveiling the next generation website for the Global Tivoli User Community (TUC)
Tiffany Winman 12000065XB firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  design service-management tug user-group tivoli 1,169 Visits
It's a new year and what better way to start it out with a new look. This is exactly what the Global Tivoli User Community (TUC) site has as it kicks off 2009.
Danyel Otteson, program manager of the Tivoli User Community, agreed to provide some insight into what we can look forward to in the site's new facelift.
Q: Tell us a little about the history of the TUC site. What is the purpose of the site, who uses and sponsors it?
Danyel: The Global Tivoli User Community (TUC) was launched in 2003 and celebrated its 5th anniversary this year. The TUC remains focused on "Enabling the Tivoli User" by providing a forum where users can communicate meet and learn from each other's experience by offering both online and offline collaboration services all over the world.
Danyel: First, we gave the site a whole new fresh look to make it more modern and contemporary. We're using a new white and blue color scheme with much more white space and clear segmentation of sections of the site.
Second, we removed a lot of the text-intensive clutter around the site and focused on clear, repeatable actions most commonly used by the community in the left-hand section of the screen:
Third, we provided clear and consistent navigation in the top menu of the site so that users can navigate to key areas no matter where they are on the site.

They wrote the book on EAM and its a good read

Sometimes corporate communications seems like one of those crazy George Carlin oxymorons, like jumbo shrimp or mandatory options. I should know, Ive worked in corp comms at four companies. Too often, we tell the world about our new strategy or solutions with busy PowerPoint slides that look like pages torn out of Wheres Waldo? or stuffy white papers that are denser than a black hole.
Thats what I love about this new downloadable book, The Business Impact of Enterprise Asset Management. It covers a complex subject in a clear, simple, engaging style. On top of that, its free, as in no charge, and free of jargon too. Thats right, nobodys going to push your envelope, level your playing field or shift your paradigms. I gave it the acid test and searched all 57 pages for the word synergy. Not a single hit.
Pam Burton of IBM Maximo says the books goal is to deal with the serious challenges faced by EAM customers in a lighthearted manner. Mission accomplished. There are even cartoons in this thing. It may be clear and simple, but the book is grounded in solid logic, hard-hitting facts, and expertise from contributors who come from inside and outside IBM. Still, Pam reports that the final product passes the spouse test. An EAM customer told her that he took it home to his wife, who read it and said she finally understands what he does for a living. Then she hit him with a frying pan. Just kidding about that last part, but you get the picture.
The point is, the book serves a noble purpose, because enterprise asset management should be a key part of any comprehensive service management, risk management, energy management almost any management plan in the whole business/IT cosmos. But EAM is often misunderstood by people in traditional IT and business roles both inside and outside of IBM. This book can help set the record straight.
Imagine the advantages of a single unified platform that collects information from all assets across a diverse, dispersed infrastructure. Not just obvious IT assets such as laptops, desktops and servers, but handheld devices in remote oil fields, sensors on trucks highballing down distant highways, or monitors in the depths of nuclear plants. These things have IP addresses and collect important data too data that should be considered in any comprehensive management approach. How else could you have a truly accurate energy management, risk management or service management solution in place?
The book also shows how an integrated EAM platform (like our comprehensive Maximo portfolio, which offers tailored EAM solutions for everything from government to utilities) can also help customers tackle other serious challenges -- like dealing with an aging workforce thats retiring in droves and taking invaluable expertise with them.
Pam says shes a big believer in making communications more accessible
than the run-of-the-mill corporate material.
IMHO, she and her team did it. What
do you think? Isnt this one of the
better ways to corporately communicate?

The Russian National Ballet Theatre offers a classic Sleeping Beauty | Arts & Culture
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The beloved fairy tale comes to life at Three Stages
Under the artistic direction of the legendary Elena Radchenko, a principal dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet, the Russian National Ballet Theatre brings The Sleeping Beauty to Three Stages. Founded during Perestroika, the company is today its own institution comprised of exquisite dancers of singular instruction and vast experience. "The Russian National Ballet Theatre, directed by Elena Radchenko, is a cut above many of its rivals" (Washington Post). The performance is sponsored by Capital Public Radio.
"Since opening in 2011, Three Stages has brought a number of strong Russian companies to the capital region," notes Executive Director Dave Pier. "The Sleeping Beauty will be elegantly performed and lovely to see."
The Russian National Ballet Theatre's The Sleeping Beauty will be performed at Three Stages on Tuesday, February 5, Wednesday, February 6, and Thursday, February 7; all performances begin at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $29-$49, Premium tickets are available for $59. Tickets may be purchased online at www.threestages.net or from Three Stages Ticket Office at 916-608-6888 from 10 am to 6 pm, Monday through Saturday, and two hours before show time. Three Stages is located on the west side of Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom, CA, facing East Bidwell Street.
The Sleeping Beauty is often considered the finest achievement of the classical ballet. Tchaikovsky was delighted with the invitation to write the music for a ballet based on Charles Perrault's well-known fairy tale. A baby princess, condemned at her christening by an evil fairy to prick her finger and die on her 16th birthday, is saved by the gift of the good Lilac Fairy, who declares the princess will only sleep until awakened by the kiss of a prince. "The Russian National Ballet's production of "The Sleeping Beauty" enchanted the audience" (Toledo Free Press).
The Sleeping Beauty was the first of Marius Petipa's classics to be seen in Western Europe. Born Victor Marius Alphonse Petipa, he was the inventor of modern classical ballet. During the latter half of the 19th century, Petipa elevated Russian ballet to international acclaim and recognition.
Under the title The Sleeping Princess, it was presented by Serge Diaghilev (1872-1929) in London in 1921. In 1939, it was remounted in Great Britain and has been considered the foundation of the classical ballet repertory in that country ever since. It has now been adopted worldwide, and performance of the leading role remains a kind of initiation rite for aspiring ballerinas.
The Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded during the transitional period of Perestroika in the late 1980s. The company, then titled the Soviet National Ballet, incorporated graduates from the Russian choreographic schools of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Perm. The principal dancers of the company came from the upper ranks of the great ballet companies and academies of Russia, and the companies of Riga, Kiev and even Warsaw.
In 1994, the legendary Bolshoi principal dancer, Elena Radchenko, was selected by Presidential decree to assume the first permanent artistic directorship of the company. Today, the Russian National Ballet Theatre is its own institution, with over 50 dancers of singular instruction and vast experience, many of whom have been with the company since its inception. Ms. Radchenko notes "what makes the Russian ballet tradition so great is that we preserve the original intent of the work, which is eternally new and fresh."

I dont know a whole lot about E-Bay but I bought an item of clothing the other day.
Everything looks OK, Seller is one of the 'Power Sellers' with 99.8 % feedback and
all that crap, The auction appears to be coming from Britain and I see that my PayPaL
fundage needs to be converted to £'s and that is what is going to be deducted....OK,
still no problem, the shipping is high but I still go through with it. After I confirm the deal
with the seller, I get an address from the shop and where to address all inquirys to to avoid
problems or a feedback war. The shop is in Pennsyslvania ! WTF !! 10 minutes from where
my brother lives I email to ask why overseas rates are being applied and have still
gotten no answer. Is this a typical E-Bay scam for getting more money for stuff ?
I was thinking about a nuetral feedback and saying that my question about why the wack
shipping charge stuff was never answered. Good idea to let other people know what is
going on or should I just soak it up and not risk my rating being goofed with by someone
who knows more about this stuff than I do ??
Im off to work now but I appreciate all answers in advance

Maybe I don't understand your question. Are you saying that none of the
references found by search terms such as "hybrid mpi openmp" are useful
for you? They cover so many topics, you would have to be much more

Philips and R20 Founding Chairman Arnold Schwarzenegger call to switch cities to LED lighting
- Date
- 31 January 2013
VIENNA: Today Philips, a member of The Climate Group, and Regions of Climate Action (R20), emphasized the clear benefits of rapid adoption of intelligent and energy-efficient LED lighting infrastructure for sub-national governments, at the first international sustainable energy conference hosted by R20.
Speaking at the conference in Vienna, Eric Rondolat, CEO of Philips Lighting, said: "LED technology has proven its reliability and now is the time to accelerate adoption. By using LED-based lighting, municipalities can enhance safety for citizens, reduce public energy bills and free up resources to support economic growth."
Arnold Schwarzenegger, R20 Founding Chairman said: "Cities, states, and provinces are where the real action is when it comes to energy efficiency projects. We look forward to having Philips join our building and street lighting efficiency campaign and help to make everyone an action hero in building sustainable communities and fighting climate change."
LED toolkit
At the conference, Philips and R20 jointly announced the launch of an "LED Street Lighting Toolkit" in Q1 2013 that will enable sub-national governments to act quickly to improve street lighting with LED technology.
Recent studies¹ have indicated that improving the efficiency of general electricity use from the present rate of 1% per year up to 3% per year would reduce the need for capital investments in public energy infrastructure, by up to 1900 billion by 2030. This would provide medium-term public budget relief.
Safer, cheaper cities
Because cities are responsible for 70% of global energy use, with lighting of public spaces responsible for 50%² of a city's energy bill, LED lighting represents a significant opportunity for city councils to cut their power bills and ease their stretched balance sheets.
Equally important, LED lighting can help municipalities create safer cities – and the benefit of LED lighting in this respect has been recognized by citizens. A global LED trial³ by The Climate Group in 12 cities determined that citizens prefer LED lighting, with 90% supporting rollout in cities, citing increased feelings of safety.

Thunder basketball: Russell Westbrook questionable against Atlanta after sprained ankle
ATLANTA — Russell Westbrook hasn't been ruled out of tonight's game against Atlanta. But it's no guarantee he'll play, either. Westbrook will be a game-time decision, coach Scott Brooks said, when the Thunder faces the Hawks at 6 p.m. central inside Philips Arena. The Thunder's All-Star point guard sustained a sprained left ankle with 5:46 remaining in the team's 105-102 win at Orlando on Thursday. He remained in the game but was in obvious discomfort as he exited Amway Center with a bad limp. It looked so bad that it would be shocking if Westbrook didn't miss a game. But when Brooks on Saturday morning listed Westbrook as a game-time decision, it came as a surprise that he hadn't already been ruled out. It sounded better, too. "A lot better," Brooks said. "We'll see how he feels before the game. He's improved a lot over the last day. He went through a little bit in shootaround today. We'll see how he feels tonight." Westbrook was seen sitting on the sideline with several other teammates by the time media members were permitted into the team's shootaround on the Hawks' practice court. Westbrook walked out of the gym with his teammates, wearing sandals and showing much less of a limp, albeit still walking gingerly. When asked how Westbrook's mobility was, Brooks said it was "fine." "What he did today is not enough to make a decision," Brooks said. Westbrook has never missed a game since being drafted fourth overall in 2008. His streak of 282 games played is the third longest streak among active players. Los Angeles Lakers guard Derek Fisher ranks first among active players with 531 consecutive games played. Charlotte forward Boris Diaw is second with 383 straight games played. Westbrook wasn't made available to the media Saturday morning, but he said following the win at Orlando that he wouldn't jeopardize his long term health just to keep his streak alive. "I'm much more focused on my career," he said. "I think missing a game instead of missing (more time) in the long run won't hurt you. So we'll just see how it feels and hopefully I'll be able to play." Westbrook this season is averaging 23.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 35.3 minutes, all career-highs. He's also averaging 5.6 assists and 1.8 steals. It's unclear who would start in place of Westbrook in the event he is unable to play. Rookie guard Reggie Jackson has served as the primary backup to Westbrook but has been erratic. Veteran guard Royal Ivey has been steady in a more limited role and could be an option as well. James Harden, the team's sixth man, seemingly wouldn't start at point guard. But Harden has terrific playmaking ability, and he acknowledged that he could be used as a more of a lead guard in situational lineups throughout the game. "I'll have a lot more playmaking duties," Harden said. "Not just scoring the ball, but also getting my teammates better shots and easier shots. We'll see. Hopefully he plays, though."
