Natural disasters like that in Japan can happen to any and all of us, no matter in the world we all. The March 12th New York Times describes the 'surprisingly destructive' power of water':
…. when water is moving at 30 or 40 miles an hour, like the tsunami that inundated northern Japan on Friday, the heaviness of water turns deadly. Imagine 1,700 pounds hitting you at that speed, and each cubic yard of water as another 1,700 pounds bearing down on you. The destructiveness of a tsunami is not just one runaway car, but a fleet of them.
And, according to Harry Yeh, a professor of ocean engineering at Oregon State University, the earthquake on Friday resulted in a change to the ocean floor itself. The tsunami pushed a section of it 250 miles long and 50 miles down by an average of one yard, with the result that billions of cubic yards of water—that is, trillions of pounds, suddenly shifted position. We've no real idea of how such a change might affect other parts of the planet.
In addition to the damage that a tsunami can inflict along coastlines in particular countries, it can also have an effect on the entire earth. The planet's oceans are very heavy, applying enormous pressure to the ocean crust. When the distribution of that pressure is shifted, as it is during an earthquake, it can induce wobbles in the earth's rotation.
At Scientific American, Richard Allen writes about how the disaster in Japan could have been even worse. Japan is on of the most earthquake-prone regions of the world, but it has 'steadily pushed the limits of earthquake preparedness.' However,
In the U.S. we also have an earthquake problem. Our west-coast cities are built atop active fault zones that give us occasional jolts reminding us of their presence from time to time. The 1989 magnitude 7.0 Loma Prieta earthquake was one such reminder, as was the 1994 magnitude 6.7 Northridge earthquake. Both events were moderate in size and the strongest shaking was in unpopulated mountainous areas. We have not seen the true power of west-coast earthquakes since 1906 when a magnitude 8 earthquake destroyed San Francisco. Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, or Seattle could be next.
An earthquake of almost as great a magnitude as that in Japan last week could strike the US and we're not ready. Allen lists what we need to do:
Modern buildings are built to standards that make them unlikely to collapse, but we need to focus on improving older buildings to bring them up to modern standards. We need more education about earthquake preparedness in our schools, and large-scale drills such as the California Shake-Out. And we need a warning system, like the one that delivered a warning in Japan.
Earthquakes are common in Greece too and many buildings are built solidly to strict codes but not so in the US—which is to say, not only could an earthquake like that which struck Japan occur in the US: The destruction could be even, could be far, worse.
When hearing about cataclysmic events like these, many of us—perhaps unconsciously—breathe a sigh of relief that 'it happened somewhere else.' But we need to remember that natural disasters—earthquakes, tsunamis, flooding—can happen, have happen, everywhere.
I first heard about the the tsunami in Japan from a TV monitor in Frankfurt. I was at the airport on a layover with a group of students from my college: We were en route to Greece. I haven't been able to be online too much as we have been traveling to different archaeological sites. I've been checking the news as much as I can and did hear our tour guide talking about Japan.
One site we visited was ancient Olympia, where the original Olympic games were held. At the temple of Jupiter, the tour guide described how an earthquake in the 6th century AD as powerful as the one that struck Japan—9.0 on the Richter scale—had destroyed the temple and flung its massive marble columns around its base like so many Tinker Toys. My students and I walked amid huge fragments of stone columns and tried to imagine what the temple looked like when it was whole.
It's amazing that some of the Temple of Zeus has survived. But would the Empire State Building?

We're not ready for a tornado!
I doubt id any country is prepared for a 9 earthquake, probably not an 8, or a 7 for that matter
I know US or Canada is NOT read for that. But the nature often strikes for a reason but the greed cries for the money loss.
no one is really ready for an earthquake period. If we spent 98% of our time worrying about earth quakes, where would we be in society? Act of nature or act of God, no one can predict it. Thank you Bette M., but their is good and bad in any culture, race or religion. Some people take freedom to an extreme cause they lost respect on how freedom really is. If everyone respected , the world would be a better place. :-)
This is the right time to become conscious of God and his creations. Man thinks he can do whatever he wants as he can express his thoughts through words and has the great ability to build. He uses this ability more and more to destroy. Man must become modest and begin to respect nature and all its children. Killing and Massacre always creates natural disaster. Man knows very well that just Money can not bring happiness. In fact the happiness we get from the material comfort is in the absence of mental Peace as the tendency of almost all governments is to become rich at any cost. People become what the Government. So automatically the values disappear. The honesty disappears. A big vacuum is created inside our way of living.
I do hope that man will stop all his experiments on animals, stop his torture to animals, Stop being greedy by allowing himself to interfere in the plant, animal kingdom and make use of everything (which do not speak and resist ) as he wishes. Let Man become vegetarian if not at least learns to consume animal-meat just what his body needs. Why do man needs to eat whale and dolphin meats when lots of vegetables,fruits, cereals and animals products are available in great quantity?
I asked one of the people I correspond with, not living in the US myself, if he was ready, along with his family, for a devastating natural disaster. He said they were indeed, car dealerships first, then appliance stores to pick up a large screen TV, jewelry stores and supermarkets.

The peopleof Japan have been exceedingly dignified throughout all of this tragedy. I recall all of the wailing, screaming, crying & much fear being filmed during the whole thing of Katrina. Even that dumbass mayor had the gall to to make a speech at the city county building "that this is our chocolate city!" Had anyone else said that their would have been a riot on top of the flooding.
The Japanese & blacks are poles apart in their attitude & reaction to any given natural or man made disaster. Of all the scenes & filming of the people of Japan I saw no looting nor anyone hiding out on top of buildings to fearful to leave of being shot by looters as was the case with one set of foreign visitors in N.O.(All of it was filmed of the people on a roof top hotel.)
People are different in their cultural upbringing & react accordingly. Blacks or any other minority group should take a lesson from the attitude the Japanese have heroically displayed through out all of this tragedy.
Plant & protect Danny's trees for life in 2011.
Ttrees are the lungs of the earth.......
And look at the biggest upcoming disaster of all -- climate change -- and hardly anyone is truly preparing!
As a society and a culture, we Americans are about as prepared as the grasshoper was for winter.
It's foolish and futile to say you can't do anything. Of course you can! You can legislate better engineering and better evacuation/ medical facilities. It DOES make a difference, just check out the previous Kobe quake in japan - buildings that were reinforced saved lives, old buildings that were not killed thousands of innocent people, including schoolchildren. Same thing in Chile.
Just wait until the Yellowstone Caldera blows. It's about due now, and is one of the biggest megavolcanoes on the earth's crust. Would affect the entire northern and eastern U.S. And are we preparing for it? Stupidly no, aside from a few government studies.

NEW YORK (AP) - With a new single about to drop, a solo album in the works and a starring role in a national tour of a Broadway musical, you'd be hard-pressed to tell that Michelle Williams once had difficulty just getting out of bed.
The singer-actress _ one third of Destiny's Child alongside Beyonce and Kelly Rowland _ said that in the past few months she has emerged from years of suffering from moderate depression. Her dark cloud lifted thanks to exercise, therapy and positive thinking.
"I've dealt with depression," the 32-year-old said during a break in rehearsals for a new touring production of "Fela!" that kicks off later this month. "I had to choose to get out of bed and do whatever I needed to do to be happy."
Williams says she suffered her first bout of depression at 15 or 16 and has managed to avoid medication. She is speaking out for the first time about her battle to encourage others to seek help.
"We're taught, `Just go to church and pray about it. The Lord is going to heal you.' Well, in the meantime, I believe God-gifted people, physicians, doctors, therapists _ that's your healing. Take advantage of it," she said. "Go see a professional so that they can assess you. It's OK if you're going through something. Depression is not OK, but it is OK to go get help."
Williams on this day is bursting with energy, smiling and laughing, her body even leaner than normal as she dives into the frenetic biography of Nigerian musician and activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti, who died in 1997.
In the rehearsal room, Williams bounces in her chair with the other cast members as the show's hybrid of jazz and pop songs swells. Though she's a Grammy Award winner, she easily hugs her fellow performers and wears sweat pants and a tank top. Where's the diva? "Who has time for that?" she said. "That's just dumb. I come from Rockford, Ill. _ there's no divas there."
Williams will be playing the role of Sandra Isadore, who was Fela's African-American lover. Maija Garcia, the tour director and choreographer, said the presence of a Destiny's Child member in the cast "empowers the musical."
"Sandra is our key for an American audience to look at Fela and understand a bit more where Fela may have been coming from," Garcia said. "And an American audience can very much identify with Michelle Williams because she's of our time. She really becomes a vehicle for people to learn about Fela and for people to understand why Fela is relevant in the United States."
The show, which made it to Broadway in 2009, is set for a 16-city tour starting at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 29. By the time summer rolls around, it will have visited Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle and Nashville, Tenn.
Williams is looking forward to cheese steaks _ extra provolone, please _ and fabulous food on the road. "I know it doesn't look like I eat _ I'm just blessed with a high metabolism right now," she said. "I'm having a time trying to gain weight."
The Jan. 29 date is important to Williams for another reason. That's when Destiny's Child releases "Love Songs," a collection of previously released songs as well as a new track co-written by Williams, "Nuclear," the group's first new recording since 2004.
The new song was recorded before Christmas in Los Angeles when all three members were recording their own solo projects. While Williams said the trio isn't ready to make a new full-length CD right now, the old magic that created songs including "Say My Name" and "Bootylicious" is still there.
"Stacking those harmonies on top (of) each other gave me goose bumps," she said of recording the new song. "We were like, `We still sound good together.' Duh! The bond will never die. We're always going to be close. We're always going to work together."
"It's amazing that people are still fascinated by the connection. It's been about eight years since we released original material and people still ask me, `Do you all talk?' We could take a picture together today and then tomorrow, people would say, `Do you all still talk?'"

Campaign Crawlers
Desperate Days in Dixie
Late news about Newt could shake up the South Carolina primary.
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- While Newt Gingrich was onstage Wednesday night at the Pro-Life Presidential Forum here, journalists in the back of the Hilton Hotel ballroom were learning -- via their laptops, iPads, and cell phones -- that Matt Drudge had just broken an exclusive story that might completely change the race for South Carolina's crucial Republican primary.
"NEWT EX-WIFE UNLOADS" was the banner headline, linking to Drudge's own report that Gingrich's ex-wife Marianne had given a two-hour interview to Brian Ross of ABC News with "explosive revelations." According to Drudge, there was a debate about the "ethics" of airing the interview prior to Saturday's primary vote here, but the Associated Press subsequently reported that ABC is "likely" to broadcast it late Thursday night on the network's "Nightline" program. According to the Washington Post, an ABC spokesman has indicated the network will release excerpts from the interview during the day on Thursday.
Depending on what that interview contains, its potential to have a last-minute impact on the South Carolina primary results is difficult to calculate. However, no one can doubt that it may devastate Gingrich's prospects to become the "Anybody But Mitt" candidate whom many conservatives have hoped would prevent the nomination of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. And it is just one of many twists and turns in the hard-fought campaign here in the state where Republicans proudly boast, "We pick presidents."
The effort to stop Romney, the moderate frontrunner, has entered a desperate phase. Gingrich himself said Wednesday that if Romney wins South Carolina, the 2012 primary campaign is effectively over. And the former House Speaker was apparently feeling so confident after his strong debate showing Monday in Myrtle Beach that he was the man to beat Romney here that he suggested that two of his GOP rivals -- former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Gov. Rick Perry -- should drop out and endorse him, "consolidating into a Gingrich candidacy" for the sake of "the conservative movement." That was Tuesday and on Wednesday, one of the most vocal early supporters of Perry's campaign, Erick Erickson of Red State, joined in calling for the Texan to quit the race. A spokesman for Perry dismissed Erickson as "a pundit sitting behind a computer somewhere," evidently ignoring the fact that Erickson introduced Perry at the governor's Aug. 13 official announcement of his candidacy in South Carolina, where Perry began his speech by saying, "Howdy. Thank you, Erick."
Perry is currently dead last in the RealClearPolitics Average of polls in South Carolina, a state where he led by 23 points in one poll taken shortly after he entered the GOP race five months ago. The clear cause of Perry's downfall was the same factor that has contributed so much to Gingrich's rise, the televised debates that have exercised such an enormous influence in the long campaign for the Republican nomination. After a series of debate debacles in September, Perry's support collapsed and, despite the expenditure of millions of dollars by his campaign, he has been unable to recapture any of his once-formidable momentum. Perry was reportedly ready to quit after a fifth-place finish in the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, but decided instead to skip the New Hampshire campaign to come to South Carolina and attempt a last stand here. Another embarrassing defeat in Saturday's vote will almost certainly end his campaign, which was why both Erickson and popular conservative talk-radio host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday called for him to drop out and endorse Gingrich before the primary.
That seems unlikely, given that Perry has in recent days made pointed references to the Alamo, where Texans famously fought to the death. Yet the "Anybody But Mitt" conservatives expressed concern that Perry might in effect play the role of a spoiler in the Palmetto State, draining away enough votes to enable Romney to score a decisive victory. And the man suggested as the only hope to stop Romney -- not only by Erickson and Ingraham, but also in an almost-endorsement Tuesday by Sarah Palin -- is Gingrich, whose campaign suddenly seems at risk from his ex-wife's interview with ABC News.
As of Wednesday evening, there were no details of what Marianne Gingrich told ABC's Ross, but it serves as a reminder of the thrice-married former House Speaker's controversial past. His current wife was a congressional staffer when Gingrich began an affair with her while he was still married to Marianne, and that affair occurred even while Gingrich was leading House Republicans to impeach President Clinton over his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Thus, his second wife's TV interview would fit with the theme of an ad that a pro-Romney "super PAC" is airing in South Carolina and Florida, which says "Newt… has more baggage than the airlines." Gingrich's baggage problem was clearly in the mind of one South Carolina voter Wednesday night.
"Newt is really his own worst enemy," said Cliff Poynter of Greer, S.C., who joined his two adult sons for a late-evening meal at a McDonald's in Greenville. "He's a tremendous debater and a brilliant thinker with a flawed character. If the Republicans are going to beat Obama, the election has to be about Obama and his policies. But if Newt becomes the nominee, it's going to be easy for the Democrats to make it about Newt, his past and his lack of character."
Poynter described himself as "very pro-life," adding that he married his high-school sweetheart 37 years ago and they have five children, and expressed his support for Santorum. Unlike Gingrich, Santorum has downplayed suggestions that the GOP battle will end if Romney wins here, insisting that he's prepared to make a long-term campaign for the nomination, whatever the odds against him or whatever the result on Saturday. While Santorum has apparently lost some of the surging momentum that enabled him to battle Romney to a draw in Iowa, he continues to urge voters to "stand up and fight" for their conservative convictions.
There will be another debate tonight, in Charleston (8 p.m. ET on CNN), and it remains to be seen if the last-minute developments will reshape the results in the state that has voted for the eventual Republican nominee in every primary since South Carolinians voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Can I get these monogramed? Are they like delicate China or sturdy glassware?
Bormioli Rocco Habana Water Glass, 10¼ oz.
Best Answer: Carol, I would STRONGLY suggest you don't buy these pint glasses. I was shocked how thin the gauge of glass was when I received them and sure enough they started breaking on me immediately during normal use. In comparison (putting in dishwasher, setting on counter, storing in cabinet), I've had a couple of my 'regular' pint glasses for close to twenty years, these barely lasted weeks. There is a reason these are on a severe sale. I asked for and received a refund from Sur La Table's fantastic customer service. I then bought different glasses from Sur.

BRYAN, TEXAS (AP) - More than three centuries ago, a French explorer's ship sank in the Gulf of Mexico, taking with it France's hopes of colonizing a vast piece of the New World _ modern-day Texas.
Like La Salle in 1685, researchers at Texas A&M University are in uncharted waters as they try to reconstruct his vessel with a gigantic freeze-dryer, the first undertaking of its size.
By placing the ship _ La Belle _ in a constant environment of up to 60 degrees below zero, more than 300 years of moisture will be safely removed from hundreds of European oak and pine timbers and planks. The freeze-dryer, located at the old Bryan Air Force base several miles northwest of College Station, is 40 feet long and 8 feet wide _ the biggest such machine on the continent devoted to archaeology.
Researchers will then rebuild the 54 1/2-foot vessel, which will become the centerpiece of the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin.
From a historical perspective, it's "an icon of a small event that dramatically changed the course of Texas history," said Jim Bruseth, who led the Texas Historical Commission effort to recover the remains.
The supply ship was built in 1684 and sank two years later in a storm on Matagorda Bay, about midway between Galveston and Corpus Christi.
"When La Belle sank, that doomed La Salle's colony and opened up the door for Spain to come in and occupy Texas," Bruseth said. "People can see firsthand how history can turn on a dime."
"It's an important piece in ship architecture," said Peter Fix, conservator at the school's Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation. Researchers have determined that unlike earlier vessels, the frames on La Belle were marked specifically by the French craftsmen so the wood comprising the hull could follow the complex curve of the ship.
"This was the age of Enlightenment when math was coming into more play," Fix said.
After a more than decade-long hunt, Texas Historical Commission archaeologists found it in 1995 in 12 feet of murky water. Then began the tedious recovery that involved constructing a dam around the site.
After the water was pumped out, teams dug through up to 6 feet of mud in the Gulf of Mexico seabed to retrieve the nearly intact ship and some 700,000 items, from swords, cannons and ammunition to beads and mirrors intended for trade. Archaeologists also found one skeleton, believed to be a crew member or settler among the some 40 people aboard.
The ship was then transferred to the Texas A&M lab, where the water-logged wood has been immersed in a chemical solution to keep it solid.
Initially, the ship was being reassembled in a two-stage chemical process, but as oil prices rose, so did the cost of the key chemical, polyethylene glycol. They decided the freeze-dry process was more economical and would shorten the preservation timeframe. So, the hull was disassembled and the wood was categorized and digitally scanned so that they could make molds of its original shape.
A New York-based firm that specializes in scientific equipment built the submarine-like freeze dryer.
"If we were to take any piece of wood, say it's been in the water for 300 years, and pull it out, it would shrink, crack, warp within a couple of days," Fix said. "The physical stress on wood would essentially cause it to fall apart and crumble and powder into pieces."

If you're looking to stay in a clean hotel right on a main road, with good customer service and a complimentary morning meal, the Ramada on the Parkway is a great choice.
Not only will you have faster access to see all of Pigeon Forge's attractions, but you can enjoy a convenient breakfast just beyond the main lobby. Besides a buffet style of foods to choose from, you can also take a dip in the heated pool or sit in the hot tub.

Day 6
Blue ridge parkway in the smoky mountains. Rode a stretch that was so narrow and as tight as anything on the dragon. Kent started the day with his shirt on backwards! Ha!! Cool up in the mountains , had to pull out a jacket! Great day! Heading out tomorrow back to Kentucky starting ...
Longer day than expected
Hi friends,
I know im behind and yet again writing from my phone so please, lets keep this like planet fitness and not judge lol.
On Saturday we started our 7 and half hour journey to Gatlinburg! We ended up being in the car for 11 hours! It was a long day!! We did stop and write the last post and I just had to pull over and take a nap at a truck stop, which added some time to the trip.
Some things I've realized...
1) ...
Day 11 - Hiking, wasps, and cinema
The rain is over, partially cloudy weather - perfect for a hiking trip up to the water tower in the nearby mountains!
So, we take the (hand-drawn) map that we got, a container for collecting yummy blackberries, some water - and off we go!
Well, the hand-drawn map and the (completely non-existing) trail ...
Day 10 - Quiet day at the farm
... that day - but it doesn't matter. We sit at the porch of the Cafe and enjoy a tea and some quiet time.
Lots of wild life around us: bunnies, deer, fawn, fire flies, snakes,...
The kids served us boiled eggs, coffee, and tea in the morning.
Day 9 - 4th of July on an Appalachian Farm
... travel blogs is real work - and we are in vacation!! :-)
So, the blogging may become more sparse, but we want to keep posting pictures and some rather quick notes, and spend more time enjoying ourselves. Hahahah.

The Blur XC Carbon is tailor-made for hard, fast days in the saddle. Part of what makes them such great bikes is the finely tuned VPP rear suspension. But the bearings only last so long and the folks at Santa Cruz know this. So one of the coolest things Santa Cruz does is to offer a lifetime bearing warranty to the original owner.
While you must cover the cost to get your bearings to Santa Cruz, they will pay to send replacement bearings to you. However, Santa Cruz Bicycles will not be liable for any labor costs involved in swapping out the bearings. If you want to get your new bearings fast, include a description of your frame (size, model and serial number) and how long you've had your bearings.
So why are we telling you this, and why do we sell bearings? We suggest that you buy a bearing kit in advance to avoid down time, then send in the old bearings to start the cycle. That way, you get to keep riding while the bearings are in the mail.
The Santa Cruz Blur XC Carbon Bearing Kit includes:
- 4 -- Enduro 7900Z MAX greasable lower pivot bearings
- 2 -- Enduro 7900RS MAX bearings
- 2 -- Enduro 6800LLUMax bearings

Join Bang Bros 18
Update Notes
Updated on: 01/14/2015
Since we last visited BangBros18...
- Updating has come to an abrupt halt and there are only three more videos and photo sets.
- Video quality has improved, but the site stopped making its movies available in clips and a few formats have been done away with.
- The design has changed a bit and looks good, but there are no longer any content tags.
- The 30-day membership has risen.
There are few things I appreciate more than hot girls and great sex and Bang Bros 18 is a website that offers both these things. You'll definitely enjoy its scenes if you have an affinity for cute chicks and good sex scenes, like I do, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll enjoy everything about the site.
You will like its design, though, which got a facelift since we last visited. Things look good and everything is neatly organized. You can still save your favorite movies and rate everything, but they got rid of the keyword tags and video clips. They also removed a few of the video formats.
BangBros18 was launched in the summer of 2013. It was updated for a while, but then stopped posting new material in the summer of 2014. It isn't clear if it will ever get back to updating, but I sure hope it does because as I write this there are only 31 videos and photo sets, which is not a lot of content compared to other sites in the same niche.
The movies all star tempting teens who kick things off by letting us learn a little bit about them and showing off their amazing bodies. From there, you get to see them having their pussies licked, giving blowjobs, getting boned by big dicks and having their faces covered in cum. The flicks have pretty decent running lengths, so you end up getting to take in a fair bit of action.
You can stream the vids in an embedded player and downloaded them as full-length flicks. They can be saved in a few MP4 formats, including one that allows you to enjoy the action in Full HD. Every movie come also comes with a set of vid caps that look decent and the pics are high-res and gorgeous. You can download them in Zip files and you should be thankful for that, because there are hundreds in each gallery.
As a member, you get access to the entire Bangbros Network, which means you're free to explore a lot of other sites. Bang Bus, Fuck Team Five, Monsters Of Cock, My Life In Brazil and Tugjobs are just a few that you can visit while you wait patiently to get new teen content.
Bang Bros 18 was on its way to becoming a pretty good website before it stopped growing. It won't keep you busy for very long in its current state. It's sure to keep you glued to your computer if its numbers ever improve, though.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Menendez's late winner earns Sporting Gijon victory
A last-gasp winner from Alex Menendez saw Sporting Gijon beat Espanyol 2-1 and pick up their second win of the season.
The winger restored the visitors' lead in stoppage time after Felipe Caicedo had cancelled out Alen Halilovic's first-half wonder-goal, taking Sporting up to 10th place in the Primera Division table, just one point behind the Catalans.
The Asturians had most of the ball in the early stages, with Halilovic the architect of their attacking play.
It was no surprise that it was the Croatian...

Matt Smith started superbly... but that's it.
I don't think it's him, I think it's the fault of the material he's had to work with. The series' format and the arc-based storytelling has ill-served Smith. His Doctor has been superfluous for the last two seasons, often serving as the kindly wizard that takes Amy, Rory, and Clara places so they can have adventures. And when he has scenes to push his character, they often revolve around the mystery of River Song. Smith has been crowded out, and I think that's the great tragedy of his era.

I had the misfortune of being referred to Dr. Herman Kwan. After arriving to the Dr. Kwan's office for my first appointment (which the note was written directly from his office) ... found out they had made an error on the date ... grrrrr. After my 1st visit (but two trips out to Surrey), a full barrage of tests and wasting 6 months waiting for the appointment he quickly dismissed my case upon reviewing the test results with saying 'there's nothing anyone can do for you'. I immediately requested a second opinion through my GP and waiting yet another 4 months ... I was diagnosed immediately with a very detailed report and a process for regularly schedules tests/drug prescriptions/potential surgery. All I ask is be very careful when this doctor dismisses your issues and immediately seek a second opinion.

I was treated for my prostate cancer by this doctor. I did a lot of research prior to my surgery and Dr. Kwan felt I was a good candidate for a nerve spare prostatectomy surgery. I am happy to report that I am continent and sexually functioning. One of my work colleagues was also diagnosed and ended up seeking treatment at VGH. He also had a nerve spare surgery. He is leaking his urine and not functioning sexually. In talking to this doctor I found him to be very humble but he did admit that he feels the team of him and the other urologist work very well together and they do get very good consistent results. But he told me that even the best surgeons in the world get complications that can be unexpected and it's nice to be discussing this stuff after a great result. So glad to have been fortunate enough to get care from this great doctor.

I started going to Dr Kwan in 2010 for prostate cancer. We mutually agreed to do the 'watch and wait" approach After 4 biopsies and PSA tests , my numbers and shape of my prostate worstened slightly. Because of my age and type of cancer , he suggested radiation , and he refered me to a wonderful Oncologist. Dr. Kwan is very pleasant , informative , knowledgeble , friendly and has all those good qualities doctors should have , but too few do have. Thank you Dr Kwan , it was nice having you as my doctor.

Emphasizing the need for a joint security arrangement between the two countries, Salih further underlined that the officials of the Patriotic Union and the territory under its control will never allow the area to be used against Iran. Meanwhile, Iran's SNSC chief also met and held talks on Wednesday with the Iraqi lawmaker and member of the Islamic Dawa Party, Haider Al-Abadi. During the meeting, Jalili said 'the people's government' in Iraq provides an opportunity for the Iraqi and regional nations "to make use of all the potential to serve the [Iraqi] people." Iraq should be able to play a fundamental role in the regional and international affairs under the current circumstances and should not allow enemies to hatch plots against it, the SNSC secretary pointed out. Al-Abadi, for his part, called for an improvement in the Islamic Dawa Party's ties with Iran. MFB/HJL/IS

He is a wonderful practitioner with a kind soul.
I have suffered from a rare autoimmune illness for over thirty years and have frequent problems associated with the illness including inflammation, sores, listlessness and frequent sinus infections. I was recommended to Dr. Capobianco by a dear friend and have not been disappointed. He is an intuitive diagnostician, treats me with compassion, follows up and embodies a rare combination of brilliance and humility. I have never felt better. My long term sinus drip has disappeared, pains have been reduced or eliminated. I have more energy and feel more in control of my health. At Dr. Capobianco's practice you are not treated like a number, given seven minutes of his time and tossed out the door with a load of prescriptions in hand. Alternative modalities are always the first line of treatment. The office is friendly and welcoming, convenient and clean.
Dr. Paul J Capobianco is a great healer.Having been in a severe auto accident 7 in a half years ago that changed my life for the worst I have tried many doctors who did not help me.I was fortunate enough to have my physical therapist refer me to Dr Capobianco eight months ago.I can honestly say he has changed my life for the better.He is compassionate,caring and a great diagnostician.He adjusts my spine in a way that no other doctor has been able to achieve.Having chronic pain when I first met him he has managed to make my days much brighter through eliminating much of the chronic daily pain that I have.I can only say that I am blessed to have met him.I have referred three patients to him all having very special varied elongated health problems.Prior treatments had been ineffective from other physicians.They found him as I did, to perform miracles!I can't put in words the gratitude I have for him.
Thanks to Dr Paul, I have my life force and energy back. I am no longer extremely tired in the day. I have hashimotos and he is the only person that got it right. He found my vitamin and mineral deficiencies and now my hair rarely ever falls out. I have a full head of thick hair!
When I was told by my Infectious Disease MD to go to an Endocrinologist for my thyroid problems; however, because I have other health concerns, not understood by most MD'S, I chose to go to Dr. Capobianco, D.O. due to what I read about his practice. One year later my thyroid is stable. Dr. Capobianco takes time at every visit, and most importantly he listens and does not make you feel inadequate or silly. He follows up with you by phone when needed. In my view Dr. Capobianco is a true healer!
Dr. Paul Capobianco is a compassionate individual and a caring and competent physician. He lives his life open to God's mysteries. I consider him to be more than a physician. In the old fashioned sense of the term, With God's grace he is a true healer. An Osteopath with a heart of gold and hands that are a conduit to the source of life. A doctor who follows spiritual guidance in the best interest of his patients. There is no one I would rather see.
He takes time to go over your past present and future medical status and truly takes interest in your well being.
I have been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, Hypo-thyroidism and Alopecia since age 9. Over the years I have been treated by numerous doctors that have never showed any attention to my symptoms, and would solely look at the test results, dismissing my concerns. Growing up as a teenager my blood sugars were all over the place and my thyroid was causing much fatigue and depression. This past April I did my own research online after my synthroid medication was not working and I was up to .175 mg at 20 years old! My primary care physician dismissed armour right away and tried to scare me away from taking it. I was at my breaking point until I found Dr. Capobianco, I felt at ease in his office and I finally felt I had met a doctor who truly cares about seeing my health get better. He tested my thyroid antibodies which were over 1,000! After starting Armour, I felt better within weeks, my weight was coming off, my depression was subsiding, I no longer needed antidepressants, my blood sugars started to get better and my thyroid antibodies went down. I also had the ALCAT food sensitivity test and I feel that has helped my immune system as well. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Capobianco, he truly cares about your well-being and is more accommodating than any other doctor I have ever seen. He has a great bedside manner and I have never had to wait long at all and have never felt rushed either. His office is very relaxing and helpful. You do not need to go through life suffering, Dr. Capobianco can definitely help!
Dr. Capobianco has saved my life. I drove a car that had fumes about 6 years ago over many months and have been utterly sick and have practically been disabled since. I visited several doctors and would let them know of this incidence since I was so certain my fatigue, muscle weakness, thirst, out of breath, hair loss, dexterity, agility, sleeping 13 hours a day had to do with this. I had diagnosed myself with heavy metal poisoning and had chelation therapy but it didn't help so much. When I came to his office just about over two months ago I had long been at my wits end and did not have any faith that any doctor could cure me. I was amazed at the breadth oh his knowledge in trying to figure out what could be wrong with me. I had never heard about the mthfr gene mutations and I was surprised that someone knew something that I did not, being that I spend enormous amounts of time online trying to figure out the root of my debilitating fatigue. He tested me and I came back with a common mutation that in the end helps with your body detoxifying itself by reving up your glutathione. I had long since lost any hope of recovery but a I did as my doctor said and went to buy folate by solgar. Upon taking it I felt so sick but at the same time better. This is because I was dumping the toxins too quickly, so even though the first week I did not dose it properly and had to just take 200mg daily so I would not feel the toxins all of my body I felt a major humongous difference, I could finally breathe and felt like that breath did me good not as if I was wheezing for air. Absolutely everyone of symptoms have improved and it is only week six I suspect I will be detoxing and building myself up for weeks to come. And I thank Dr. Capobianco with all my heart as I can see it in his eyes how much he cares. I am in awe of how much holistic doctors always keep up with research so that they can help patients when conventional doctors have failed. I would day what he did is on the cutting edge as most doctors don't even know about mthfr. I highly recommend him.
From first contact to leaving the office dr Paul is caring and efficient. There is no rush in the visit and dr Paul is very thorough. I am a 40yo male and had the flu. With one remedy dr Paul was able to break the fever and that evening I sweat it out and began to feel better. I also send me 3 children to dr Paul ages 7,5 and 13 months. The kids love him and Have no hesitation when they need to see him. I can't say enough positive things about dr Paul and his staff. If you're looking for a healthy approach to staying and getting well you owe it to yourself to visit dr Paul.
After treading water with my primary care physician and not feeling any better I made an appointment with Dr. Capobianco despite not being on my insurance because I was desperate and the testimonials from people with thyroid problems I had found on line gave me hope. After ordering blood work and seeing me for the first appointment he made a diagnosis my PC was unable or unwilling to make and put me on a new medication. WOW! I was feeling like my old self with in a day an a half. After 1 years of being depressed, sleeping 16hrs a day, and feeling 'off' in every way I was better. A few appointments later to get my long term dosage right and I really truly feel I am living my life again. Thank you Dr. Capobiano!
I recently started treatment using VAX-D therapy. After only the first session, there was significant reduction in the pain in my lower back. This has continued to improve with each subsequent session. This truly is a remarkable device and therapy.
I have been truly blessed to be a patient of Dr. Capobianco's - he is amazing! He is very kind, thorough, knowledgeable, and generous with his time. Most importantly, he was able to bring me back to health when no one else could. My husband and I have happily made him our go-to person for everything health-related. For more than 15 years, I struggled with extremely painful ovarian cysts, endometriosis, migraines, and constant fatigue. I saw more doctors than I can count, tried many drugs, and had surgeries - but nothing helped. My conditions worsened. I had pretty much given up by the time I met Dr. Capobianco, though I kept an open mind - and I'm so glad I did! I've had amazing, tremendous improvement - I am without pain, I have energy, and I feel healthier. I have my life back, and I cannot thank Dr. Capobianco enough!
Dr. Paul has been treating my entire family for years, his approach is so different from the traditional Drs. He takes plenty of time to listen to me and takes my concerns seriously. I have had low back pain for years due to a two car accidents and he has eliminated the pain from my life. As for my children, he always has an alternative method to treating their issues from ear aches, flu, asthma, allergies, injuries etc. He keeps us healthy and strong.
~I have been seeing Dr. Capobianco for almost 2 years now. It was my lucky day when I found him. He is the most compassionate doctor I have ever had. He listens, and he takes a lot of time if needed with me. He follows up on emails immediately & is always researching more health information to help with "hard cases". He is very thorough in his exams, tests, and very knowledgeable in treatment plans. He has remarkable knowledge of how the body runs, and great knowledge of supplements and/or meds to help with healing. His office is calm & clean ... his staff is lovely & fast & accurate. I highly recommend seeing him, he gives 100% of himself, to help with the healing of his patients. He is a wonderful man, and a terrific & kind physician.
My entire family sees "Dr. Paul" and he has been nothing less than wonderful. We never have to wait long to see him, we can get appointments with ease, and he always follows up. Dr. Paul is extremely caring, never makes us feel rushed, and is determined to help the patient. He always goes the extra mile and that is normal for him. Dr. Paul is a rare find as a doctor in today's society and we are lucky to have found him.
Having been a long time patient, I can honestly say that it would be next to impossible to replace Dr Paul. He is truly one of a kind. A visit to this doctor is unlike any you'll ever have. His office is both quiet and clean and his office staff both friendly and professional. Dr. Paul allows an unbelievable amount of time for each visit. He spends the time to listen so that he can truly understand your condition. One visit to him and you will feel as though you have gained a lifetime health advocate. His follow up is truly incredible. He often spends more time to follow up than he even does on your visit, if that is possible.
Dr. Capobianco has been helping my family for over 15 years. Through his treatments he has corrected or helped many conditions including these where conventional medicine indicated surgery was required: excetropia (lazy eye), sinus problems and back problems. Thankfully, this doctors non-invasive approach relieved these conditions and surgery was avoided. The good doctor has also been able to help stress related problems, acid reflux without meds, bone misalignment, headaches, lack of energy, depression and general good health. He gives the patient the time needed to find the root cause of a symptom and this requires patience of both doctor and patient and it is well worth the time invested. I strongly suggest trying Dr. Paul Capobianco's treatments because they have done wonders for me and my family. If only more Doctors would dedicate themselves to alternative approaches rather than what the powerful drug and medical profit driven industries are pushing, we'd all be better off.
Dr paul is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met. He often calls to follow up and is always a fund of knowledge. His treatments are some of the best I have experienced - I always feel amazing afterward... And am always surprised by the how much he helps with whatever malady I show up with
Firstly, let me state that I am neither a personal friend nor relative of Dr.Paul Capobianco, and I have no vested interest whatsoever in his success or failure as a physician. That being said, I feel, based upon my experience of 4 decades as a patient of many doctors who have been trained in Western Medicine as well as Oriental Medicine, that Dr. Capobianco offers his patients an extraordinary combination of skills which are rarely found in physicians today. My gastrointestinal issues began with a Salmonella infection, which I contracted 46 years ago in the West Indies, the residual symptoms of which led me to seek remedy from physicians at some of the most prestigious medical institutions in the country. When they failed to heal me, I explored alternative/complimentary medical interventions as well. As a result of my own personal experience and decades of research, I have concluded that Traditional Western Medicine, as practiced by most U.S. physicians, is most beneficial for acute conditions which may require surgical intervention, etc., but fails miserably in addressing the chronic conditions that persist in keeping so many people feeling ill for extended periods of time. Dr. Capobianco has been well trained in Western Medicine and is a member of a large family of physicians. In addition, he brings to his patients a strong background in homeopathy as well as traditional osteopathy.(Unfortunately, few osteopaths today are trained to do manipulation, a treatment modality that formerly distinguished the osteopath from the M.D.) Under Dr. Capobianco's care, his patients experience the potential benefit of many more treatment options than are available with most physicians today. I have found him to be very much of an "out-of-the-box" thinker, a physician who is on the "cutting edge" of current findings in medicine. While he has been trained in the use of pharmaceuticals, he consistently chooses to prescribe for his patients the most benign and least invasive treatments available prior to recommending treatments with potential side-effects. Extremely important to me, as a patient, is the fact that Dr.Capobianco understands human suffering, and he is as compassionate a physician as you could ever hope to find. It is clear however, that, in spite of his keen intelligence and the extraordinary skill that he brings to his work, Dr. Capobianco understands that there is more to healing than the involvement of even the most skilled of physicians. It is sad to think that he or anyone else could be criticized for having Faith in a Higher Power. All in all, if you are looking for a doctor who is everything that a doctor should be, I don't think you will be disappointed with Dr. Paul Capobianco.
Dr. Capobianco has been seeing my son since he was 5, he is now 14. When a child does not fit the school behavior criteria, they want them medicated. With too many side effects I chose to seek an alternative practitioner. We are blessed to have Dr. Capobianco in our lives. He is caring and dedicated, always looking into new ways/ideas of treatment, he is extremely knowledgable!! He takes his time to listen and treat, we are never rushed. His only interest is his patients health than in collecting payment. He has treated my son with homeopathic medicine, natural vitamins!! We are blessed to have him in our lives!!
Dr. Capobianco is a knowledgeable and caring doctor who diagnosed and treated my son where others could not. In the fall of 2009, my 6 year old son contracted an intestinal virus that led to weeks of diarrhea and cramps. The end result of this illness was a severe intolerance to gluten and dairy. Prior to this illness, my son had no dietary restrictions. During 2009 and 2010, we had seen several doctors who could give us no insights as to why he was having such a reaction to certain foods. In the winter of 2011, we decided to see Dr. Paul Capobianco. With his testing and guidance, Dr. Capobianco actually found the cause for his food intolerances. He treated my son with natural products and in the summer of 2011, we started to add back all the foods that had been previously restricted from his diet. It is now October, 2011 and he is currently free to eat whatever he wants with no restrictions, including all gluten and dairy products. Thanks to Dr. Capobianco, our son does not have to go through life with such severe food restrictions. He is a wonderful doctor!
Paul J Capobianco, DO Osteopath, Family Practitioner is the best in the world. We need more Osteopath, Family Practitioner in our society like Paul J. Capobianco.
A wonderful doctor in every sense of the word. He should get five stars for each criterion. He has kept me going for years and my physical health as well as my mental health has been rewarded through his ministrations. A truly great person.
I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Capobianco. My daughter, only 18 months old at the time, had recurrent ear infections and was recommended to be getting tubes. Dr. C diagnosed the problem as yeast and with changes in her diet, cranio-sacral therapy, and letting her body, rather than anti-biotics, work out the infections, she no longer needs tubes! In fact, she is much healthier overall than we first started seeing him! Dr C is extremely patient and accessible. He answers emails almost immediately and told me I could call him anytime, day or night, when she had a fever. Rather than giving out medicine as a quick fix, he really got to the bottom of what was causing the problem. And, in regards to another reviewers negative comments about being money hungry, Dr. C never wanted to see if it wasn't necessary. He even said he'd like not to see us for a while!!! I can't tell say enough about how great he is. And, as an added bonus, his advice about keeping children healthy has even rubbed off on my older daughter. I will continue to use him for both of my girls!
You will not find a more caring dedicated physician. Always thinking outside the box to heal hard cases.
This doctor never ceases to amaze me with insights and findings that have helped me over the years, in many ways, well beyond what is attainable in a typical medical practice. His compassionate concern and continual learning to better his patients is a rarity.
Dr Paul Capabianco has helped me in so many ways. He is a great doctor.
Dr. Capobianco integrates the best of traditional Western medicine with cutting-edge natural and alternative therapies; this makes for a truly holistic approach. His willingness to think outside the box has been a Godsend for those who have been failed by the stubborn refusal of many to even consider anything other than conventional medicine. Dr. Capobianco is patient and compassionate with exceptional bedside manner; this is a refreshing contrast to the stale, numb attitude of many. He has always taken great time with me, and I have never felt rushed as is often the case in other offices. His wifes kind smile and professionalism make visits a joy. The empathetic, holistic approach of this office has brought relief of my condition where merely allopathic approaches have failed. I would recommend this practice unreservedly.Although it is hardly worthy of a response, I feel compelled to address the truly unbelievable comments left here on September 12, 2010, as they are so contrary to my experience. To couch it in medical vernacular, this individual presents all of the signs and symptoms of a biased, disgruntled patient. This prejudice is evident in this individuals apparent aversion to displays of faith, bitter attitude towards alternative labs and medicines, and vitriolic personal attacks on Dr. Capobianco and his wife.Firstly, if a persons displays of faith are offensive to you, simply do not choose to come to her or him. Dr. Capobianco operates a private practice; hes entitled to decorate in any manner he likes. Strangely, as I have sat in the waiting area, I have noted people of different faiths and some who claim to have no faith, happily interact with the doctor and each other. Differing beliefs need not lead to contemptuous comments or disrespect. Personally, I prefer a doctor who has faith; others feel the same or are indifferent. Still, the pejorative nature of your comments about displays of faith only underscores the prejudice that motivated your comment.Secondly, and I can only speak from personal experience, Genova Labs provided detailed information about the items I had tested. The fact that it is arranged in a simple and understandable manner is an asset not a detriment. I have had similar tests performed in the hospital and by other labs. The results were similar except they lacked description and commentary. Also, they did not screen for as many pathogens. Many would prefer a more comprehensive test with an actual explanation of the results in simple terms to a less comprehensive test with nothing more than the results data and no explanation or commentary, however simple or complex. One reason alternative labs are criticized is because they screen for things that have not yet been accepted by some as necessary or relevant. Interestingly, over the years, many of these formerly unnecessary screens find themselves into the necessary category of conventional medicine. It is simply a case of the establishment catching up with the breakthroughs in alternative diagnostic medicine. In any case, Genovas tests proved beneficial for me. The real issue here, as far as I can tell, has more to do with your irritation about the cost than an actual legitimate criticism. Your comments seem biased and motivated by dissatisfaction with the cost. Genova is covered by insurance.Finally, your mean-spirited personal attacks speak volumes about your objective evaluation of Dt. Capobianco. People often resort to personal attacks when they have nothing substantive to say. Again, I have found Dr. Capobianco and his wife to be very personable, approachable, and compassionatenot to mention exceedingly professional.In a nutshell, the comments of the individual criticizing the Capobiancos are littered with religious discrimination, resentment over the cost of tests, and personal invective aimed at slandering two wonderfully caring and professional individuals. All of these malicious motives thinly veiled under the guise of an objective review leave these biased comments truly unbelievable.--Nathan
I find Dr. Capobianco to be knowledgeable and patient.He takes plenty of time with youand never rushes your visit.He is very gentle when he is doing his cranial sacral therapy,and his osteopathic manipulations ,you might not think he is doing anything on the contrary you will see results. I find that since I have been going to him I am a much healthier person.I have Fibromylagia and it feels good not to be in pain,and to have my energy back and to be able to function better means a lotto me.He is worth going to.I feel this is one therapy that does work.

WASHINGTON, April 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Coalition for 21st Century Medicine (http://www.twentyfirstcenturymedicine.org), a group of key medical stakeholders which includes innovative diagnostic technology companies, clinical laboratories, venture capitalists, and patient advocacy groups, congratulates the U.S. Senate on the passage of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) by a 95-0 vote this morning.
The House of Representatives passed GINA by an overwhelming vote last year and again last month as part of mental health parity legislation. With the Senate passage of the bill, the President is poised to sign this landmark legislation into law. The Coalition commends Senators Kennedy and Snowe and Congresswoman Slaughter for their hard work on this historic bill, more than a decade in the making.
Coalition for 21st Century Medicine co-chair Howard Birndorf celebrated the Senate passage of GINA and urged the President to sign GINA into law noting "after a decade of negotiations, we are now one step closer to realizing the full potential of personalized medicine."
GINA will foster innovation, brighten the future of predictive and preventive personalized medicine, and help the millions of American families who rely on personalized medicine.
Sharon F. Terry, President & CEO of the Genetic Alliance and a member of the Coalition for 21st Century Medicine said, "The uniting efforts of thousands of people, from patients to companies to health care providers has made this passage possible. Senator Kennedy in particular is a champion of personalized medicine -- and this legislation marks yet another piece of landmark civil rights legislation."
By protecting citizens from the misuse of genetic information in
employment and health insurance, GINA will promote patient access to new
diagnostic tests and advance the development of these

Posted: December 20, 2012SAN DIEGO — The sun is dipping below the horizon off the coast of Ocean Beach in San Diego. A tow truck is backed up to a steep cliff that falls 40 feet down to a tiny cove. It's trying to pull a small sport fishing boat out of the sand — the kind of boat you might see out trolling for yellowtail.
The boat is very stuck. Captain Eric Lamb and his boat rescue team have been working to get it out for about 12 hours, and they're not even close.
