Are you looking for a chiropractor in Scottsdale? We understand that choosing a healthcare provider is a big decision. We are dedicated to helping you achieve your wellness objectives – whether that consists of recovering from an auto or work related accident, getting rid of nagging aches and pains, or experiencing the full chiropractic benefit of wellness care.
Chiropractic is a profession within the health care field that deals with the neuro-musculoskeletal system of the human body. As doctors of chiropractic we diagnose, treat and prevent injuries and disorders of the nerves, muscles, and bones. While a chiropractor will diagnose and treat these resultant injuries and disorders, the main objective of the chiropractor is the removal of nerve interference allowing the body to heal itself without invasive procedures and/or drugs. As would be the case with any other field of care, our patients receive a comprehensive examination of their major complaint. After considering possible causes of the patients' condition, a diagnosis is established and a treatment plan is created. Should a patient require treatment outside the scope of chiropractic care, they are referred to the appropriate health related specialist.
We solve problems. Your pain symptoms are the start, but they don't tell the whole story. Beyond your injury, we dive deep into your everyday life: your environment, nutrition, exercise routine, and posture. What makes you, you. Taking this time and care pays big; we catch what others miss, and you get back on track to a speedy recovery, often avoiding surgery.
We offer a comprehensive range of services. We use a personalized approach, and state of the art diagnostic and treatment methods in order to effectively treat a variety of health conditions. We specialize in utilizing sophisticated chiropractic adjusting techniques to release spinal and extremity fixations or misalignments, and incorporate massage therapy, laser therapy, and rehabilitation exercises in order to help restore normal skeletal, muscle, and nerve function.
We've got your back. Unsure why you're in pain, or how you even injured yourself? No worries. We pledge to figure it out, whether that's re-creating the scenario in our office (jogging, lunging, hefting groceries, clicking a mouse, etc.) or joining you in action at the scene.
We promote self-knowledge—and teach you the tools. We want you to enjoy a pain free life and reach your highest physical potential. Which means giving you the resources—everything we've learned from our own training and personal experience —to recuperate, improve your performance, and prevent injuries.
We are focused on delivering results that make a difference. Since opening our doors in May of 2000, our reputation has brought patients to our office from the entire State, and not just from the Scottsdale and nearby metro Phoenix area. Whether you are looking to get out of pain, lose weight, or improve your posture, performance and overall health, we are here to help. As a last note, patients tell us we are often the last resort, before more pills, more invasive procedures, more pain. We are proud we deliver. We believe everyone should be able to do what they love – and helping people do so, without pain, is what we love, too. Call us at 480-556-6797. We are here for you.
Best in health,
Drs. Jeff and Larissa Woolston

crosspost from http://rextang.net/blogs/work/
Just a memo of what actually happened in my case.
Actually recently I was busying trying to change and get a "Microsoft" technology related job in Japan. I did pass the interviews with managers and dept. director and confirmed that I am capable to work for the department. finally the job agent told me that the company is going to start the offer process and HR is starting to check my working VISA status since I am a foreigner and need to fit certain criteria.
The problem occured. Since I was graduated from Information Management dept. of National Taiwan University, this dept. issues BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) degree to students, not BS (Bachelor of Science) degree like most other Computer Science related dept.s, although most of the classes the dept. offerred are IT related stuffs. I do think that Japan Immigration Office only saw my BBA degree and gave me "Specialist in Humanities/International Services" working VISA, rather than an Engineer VISA in my current job. and this caused the problem that the new company's HR and Law dept. felt that it should be diffecult to change the status of my visa and decide to decline my offer.
In Japan, one has to have certain working VISA to be able to work in certain job area. there are several job categories according to immigration law of Japan. the most usual working VISA type is "Specialist in Humanities/International Services" and "Engineer" , "Specialist in Humanities/International Services" visa type is normally given to people who graduated from business / management / culture / language related universities (English techers in this category), while Engineer visa type is mainly given to people who study nature science including IT / Computer fields. others like doctor or lawyer also have their own working visa type, things like that.
recently to encourage IT / Computer related businesses in Japan, actually Japan goverment had loose the definition of Engineer type visa to allow those who passed certain IT certificates to get Engineer visa regardless what university diploma one may have. those IT certificate are mainly held by Japan's institutes and anyone can take the exam without restrictions, including foreigners (exams should be in Japanese, not English). the most fundamental IT/Computer exam is held every year at April and October, only twice in an year. be sure to know the exactly date if one needs those certificates to get a valid Engineer VISA regardless of diplomas one may have.
It should be considering illegal to have actual working content that's different from the working VISA a foreigner get by the proof of company who employ this person. Thus make it important for foreigners to get proper VISA in order to work in Japan without troubles.
As my graduated dept.did have ambiguity on the judge of an Engineer visa or a Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa, since it's "Information Management" dept. and issuing BBA degree, I do think that other universities in the world do have departments like this and some offer BBA degrees but others offer BS degrees. It should be important for Japan Immigration office to check the detail of academic transcripts and decide what visa type is proper to give out, not just see if one had BBA or BS to decide it, that will cause inconvenience for foreigners that want to live and work here to evolve IT environment in Japan.
I guess the only way I can do is to take the IT certificate exam here in Japan in order to bypass the consideration of my university diploma, although all my records all showed that I've been always doing IT related jobs since I graduated. and I do own some worldwide IT certificates (which is not listed in the immigration law for now) but I guess it's hard to persuade those law and HR people or even Japan Immigration Officers.
I also wish the interviewer, the director of that dept. of new company which I want to get the job, can see this post and see if he can also persuade HR and Law dept. to reconsider my case. the issue to decline my case is not related to my abilities, but the Japan Immigration problem, and got ways to solve out, It's really disappointed to decline my case in this reason, sort of not acceptable. just like that foreigners are hard to get a Japan credit card just because we are foreigners, without reasons…
anyway, just a reference for those who want to work in Japan to know some immigration issues here, wish this help.

Arlene Mosel
Arlene Tichy Mosel (August 27, 1921 – May 1996) was an American children's librarian who wrote the text for two award-winning children's picture books illustrated by Blair Lent, both retelling traditional material. Tikki Tikki Tembo won the annual Boston Globe–Horn Book Award and Lent won the annual Caldecott Medal for the The Funny Little Woman.
She was born as Arlene Tichy on August 27, 1921, in Cleveland, Ohio to Edward J. Tichy, an engraver and Marie Fingulin Tichy. She attended Ohio Wesleyan University, where she was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1942, and later attended Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University) where she graduated with a Master of Science in Library Science degree in 1959. She married sales engineer Victor H. Mosel on December 26, 1942, with whom she had three children; Nancy Mosel Farrar, Joanne and James.[1]
Mosel had been an assistant in the children's department at Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, before becoming an associate professor of library science at Case Western Reserve University. She was also an assistant coordinator of Children's Services at the Cuyahoga County Public Library.
Tikki Tikki Tembo was published by Holt in 1968 and illustrated by Blair Lent,[2] It was presented as a retelling of a traditional Chinese story about a boy whose rescue after falling into a well was delayed due to his extremely lengthy name. The book was recognized as an ALA Notable Book[1] and was recognized that year with the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award.[3] In 1997, the book was selected by The New York Times on its list of the 50 best children's books of the previous 50 years.[4] It has been suggested however that the story probably originated from the Japanese folktale Jugemu instead of a Chinese folktale.[5]
In another collaboration with illustrator Blair Lent, Mosel's 1972 story The Funny Little Woman, published by E. P. Dutton, won the Caldecott Medal for illustration,[6] and was recognized as an Honor Book for the Globe–Horn Book Award[3] and the 1974 Hans Christian Andersen International Children's Book Awards.[1]
Mosel died in May 1996 in Indianapolis.[1]

It's been a few years since I watched any anime. Yes people, there can be a time in your life when you stop being a fan.
My great period as an anime fan was from age 14 to 19. Before that I'd only watched some shows on TV, but the hobbie hadn't really set off.
Although it was a fun ride, I have to admit that I spent too much time on it and should have paid more attention to real life. I hope you learn from my experience.
Nowadays I have other interests and real life has been very very busy. But I look back fondly at some of my favourite anime shows.
4,571 total episodes
Drama is good as long as it doesnt repeat itself, in my opinion. Hana yori dango live action looks good, but i don't know much about real japanese soap operas. I mean, that's where the drama is really at
I started doing my stuff a few weeks before anime TV. Anyway, I have talked to Miley and Bailey and Kaiji a lot online. They're pretty cool people.
ferrero rocher are the best *drool* I love your top 5 still need to watch Death Note... its on my to watch list! I am also a big fan of romantic animes :0) So let me know if you have any suggestions kk? - the marvelous captain lolo
arigato algelic-san
hello and yes,
life is quite short, so everybody should appreciate it and try to make the most of it, but sadly it is not possible for everybody. And this film 1 litre of tears seems interessting, I never heard of it...
Must be sad to have a disease, Iam lucky to be quite healty and don´t have such problems.

China Merchants Venture to Invest $489 Million in Solar Farms
China Merchants New Energy Group, a Hong Kong-based renewable-energy project developer, will form a joint venture with Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Investment Co. to invest 3 billion yuan ($489 million) to develop solar farms.
The venture will build about 300 megawatts of solar power plants in China's western region of Xinjiang by 2015, China Merchants said in a statement posted on its website yesterday.
The plan comes after China Merchants in August agreed to partner with GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Ltd (3800), the biggest maker of polysilicon, to develop about 973 megawatts of solar power projects in China.
China Merchants last year secured as much as 10 billion yuan of financing from China Development Bank Corp. to develop solar farms.

* How to extract information from the bidding and the lack of bidding!
* How to read the opening lead to help you locate the length and the high cards in that suit

Everyone will have the opportunity to practice with plenty of hands. All hands will be explained what "should" happen and the reasons why! This course will benefit anyone who wishes to improve their card play either as a defender or declarer
D6 CHURCHILL – A STUDY IN FAILURE? 1874-1939 Tuesday 26th July £50
Tutor: William Tyler has worked in Adult Education all his professional life. He holds three degrees: MA (Oxon), MA (Keele), MPhil (
Nottingham). In 2009 he was awarded the MBE for services to adult education.
We remember Churchill as the great leader during The Second World War; yet he was then 64 years of age, and had been out of office for a decade. This course will focus on those first 64 years of his life, a period labelled by the late Tory MP and historian, Robert Rhodes James, as 'a study in failure'. We shall see that by contrast there were many successes in Churchill's first 64 years, ranging from the political to the literary to the military. He had served in numerous senior Offices of State, including The Home Office and The Admiralty, as well as serving as Chancellor of The Exchequer. There were failures also, including in particular The Gallipoli Campaign of The First War, and the romantic support of the king during The Abdication Crisis.

We also view some of the highlights from the City's Art Collection. In 1989 the City took over the running of Hampstead Heath.

The Impressionists, as they were dubbed after their first exhibition in in 1874, sought to capture a 'moment' in time; consequently they worked several canvases one after the other in rapid succession, as the conditions changed. Plein-air painting became a touchstone for them as they placed a premium on direct observation, speed, and spontaneity; they hoped to capture the effect of changing weather, seasons, and times of day. Moreover, a new interest in naturalism emphasized 'truth' and 'authenticity', real people in real situations, prompting artists to paint life with unembellished directness, 'warts and all'. Critics decried such paintings as ugly, even sordid and immoral, as they captured the everyday rather than picturing noble moments from history. By focusing on Claude Monet, and his gradual migration down the Paris Seine, we can explore how Impressionism focused on the river, the garden and the sea.

The perfect union of words and music is one of the highest ideals in art, yet time and again composers have taken the work of great poets and created three-minute musical masterpieces.

Nietzsche is one of the most influential thinkers of our tradition. He is a radical philosopher who attempts to unmask the motives which underlie the Western philosophical tradition, morality and religion, and his work has affected philosophers, theologians, psychologists, poets, and novelists. Richard Rorty has described our current age as 'Post-Nietzschean', doing so on the ground that Nietzsche was able to think through the consequences of the Enlightenment. Nietzsche was the subject of Thomas Mann's great novel Dr Faustus, and, Hitchcock's film Rope. He has been taken seriously by various analytic philosophers – Bernard Williams, Philippa Foot, Richard Rorty, and Alasdair MacIntyre. This course examines and evaluates a range of central arguments in debates, regarding Nietzsche's conception of philosophy; Nietzsche's works; Nietzsche on Truth; Nietzsche's 'Perspectivism'; and Nietzsche on God.

You may be familiar with the Gospels without your reading involving rigorous objective study. Some people are rather frightened of this, thinking that it may undermine their faith. Indeed, much biblical criticism of the mid-20th century appeared radical and destructive. But the current climate is more affirmative. We can look calmly at questions of authorship, date, intended readership and purpose of writing. We can see how truth is presented in different modes. We can search for the original words of Jesus while showing how the early church and the evangelists preserved and interpreted them. Above all, examining these fundamental Christian documents we can look for the key principles of their accuracy, their authenticity and their authority.I like to work with small groups where every member can join in. I welcome comments, questions, reflections. So come prepared to contribute to the discussion

Tutor: Rob Wilkinson is a qualified bridge teacher and runs The Bridge School at Gerrards Cross where there are classes for beginners, intermediate and more advanced classes and play sessions
Most people have been brought up on ACO using four card majors and a weak no trump. However, more and more people are converting to Five Card Majors and a Strong No Trump as this approach provides a better framework for bidding accuracy.
The key advantages are
* You can confidently raise partner's major with three card support
* Finding 4-4 Major suit part-scores is easier
* No trump rebids are more efficient and leave space to check for major suit fits
* You concede fewer penalties playing a strong no trump, whether doubled or undoubled
* Five Card Majors are played all over the world so play bridge anywhere with confidence.
Even if you decide this approach is not for you, it will prove invaluable to understand what your opponent's are bidding when they play Five Card Majors! There will be plenty of demonstration hands and practice play hands throughout the day.

Londonis one of Europe's largest cities in size and population yet many would still describe it as a city made up of villages. These villages have blended their boundaries to form the Greater London we know today. Each area still has it's own character, shaped by many different factors with location being the most important as that will provide the people who live and work there. We will be looking at 3 totally different areas and how they have grown and developed over the centuries. St. James' which offers one of the best addresses in , Southwark where the works on the south side of the river were and the Old London Docks which has been transformed into Docklands in the 21st Century.

D31 BRIDGE – BATTLEGROUND SECRETS WINNING TACTICS AT BRIDGE! Monday 1st August £50
Tutor: Rob Wilkinson is a qualified bridge teacher and runs The Bridge School at Gerrards Cross where there are classes for beginners, intermediate and more advanced classes and play sessions.
Good duplicate pairs frequently compete in the auction, rarely overbid and often make extra tricks as declarer. Are they good bridge players? Yes! But one of things that make them good is that they understand the concept which really matters: the true goal at duplicate pairs is not to make your contract. All that matters is how your score stacks up against the other scores. We sometimes generalise and label players as being 'timid, cautious, aggressive or even reckless'. But to score well we need to be all of these at times! Think of duplicate bridge as a 'battle' and we're in the middle of it. For many that's what makes bridge fun!
Today we will look at some of the 'secrets' of the battleground and recognise them for what they really are: clear goals, good strategies and 'in-tune' partnership action. We will look to:
* Think about the 'table' opposition
* Be aggressive during part-score bidding
* Assess the 'par' contract i.e. what contract everyone is likely to reach
* Judge when to 'pass' and when to 'bid on'
* Recognise when to risk the contract in search of overtricks
* Know when not to play for longshots if the contract is doomed
There will be plenty of demonstration hands and practice play hands throughout the day.

She spent 16 years imprisoned in Aquitaine Englandbut Eleanor was a survivor, in her 70s she was still travelling across Europein the interests of her family.

Tutor: Keith Hasted studied History of Art and Architecture through continuing education at
. His MA research at Oxford focused on Italian Renaissance palace architecture. He lectures at Oxford University Continuing Education and for the WEA in History of Architecture. Reading University
Part of the stunning experience on entering a cathedral in the medieval age must have been the impact of the colour and images in its glass. This course will look at the development of this glass, including its production and the assembly of windows, with an eye to the materials and methods. We will then consider the remarkable surviving early glass of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries at
Canterburyand in particular, followed by the development of glass in the later medieval period. The work of the range of designers and workshops responsible for the production of nineteenth century glass will also be examined, and we will conclude with a look at how modern glass is now being used in our cathedrals.

D36 ROSSINI AND THE EMERGING ROMANTIC ERA Tuesday 2nd August £50
Tutor: Julian Williamson LTCL (
Trinity College), conductor of many orchestras and choirs in and overseas; also an experienced lecturer. Great Britain
Rossini was born just after Mozart's death and before Beethoven had made any real name for himself. By the time he died not only had Beethoven changed music for ever but Berlioz, Verdi, Wagner and others had created a new era of Romanticism. His creative life covered some sixty years and his immense output spanned the divide between Classicism and the freer ideas of the new era. His initial inspiration was from Mozart and this admiration never ceased. He later embraced all the novel exciting ideas of the 19th century, and by so doing he helped form many of the sounds which would dominate the Romanic era. I hope to introduce you to a host of Rossini's works which are rarely heard and are undeservedly neglected.
D37 BRIDGE - GUNNING FOR THE OVERTRICKS IN 3NT Tuesday 2nd August £50
Tutor: Tim Chanter is an outstanding teacher from Richmond Bridge Club which is one of the leading clubs in the country, having attracted more players than any other EBU affiliated club for the last few years running. Tim recently updated all of their teaching material to use modern technology and is a strong player who competes regularly in local and national tournaments.
In any session, your partnership is likely to be playing in 3NT several times and usually the rest of the field will be in the same contract. So the match points are often determined by how many overtricks you can make, and the trick target to achieve a good result is often 10, 11 or even 12 tricks rather than simply the 9 to fulfil the contract. You need to be greedy! In this seminar, we will discuss tactics and plays to maximise your chances of overtricks including combining chances between lines; reviewing odds of success; considering which defender you would prefer to be on lead; and at which point in the hand it is best to cash winners rather than develop further tricks. There will be notes on the key points, commentaries on the hands and, of course, plenty of boards to play.
D38 AN INTRODUCTION TO MORAL PHILOSOPHY Tuesday 2nd August £50
Tutor : Dr Peter Gibson was for many years Head of Philosophy at the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe. His first degree was in English, and he recently completed a PhD in Philosophy at Birkbeck, . He runs a philosophy website:philosophyideas.com London
The four sessions will give a broad overview of the whole of moral philosophy. The first session will look at the foundations of values, weighing relative against absolute views, and the roles of reason and emotion. The next two sessions will survey four main theories that are proposed as guiding principles for moral life: virtue theory, contractarianism, utilitarianism, and the ethics of duty. We will identify their key principles, and sketch their strengths and weaknesses. The final session will summarise our findings, and examine one practical dilemma, to see how the theories perform in real life. There will be scope for group discussions, once the main ideas have been presented.
D39 COLNBROOK AND THE BATH ROADTuesday 2nd August £50

Colnbrook, the forgotten town of
, was one of the busiest thoroughfares in the country, much-frequented by well-to-do travellers on the Buckinghamshire Bath Road. It had at least six coaching inns, one of which is still a public house, another is a restaurant and four more survive as private houses or flats. With the end of the coaching era, Colnbrook declined from a thriving town to a mere village. There are now more aeroplanes taking off from nearby Heathrow airport than there are cars squeezing through Colnbrook's narrow High Street.

The electric tram revolutionised town travel in urban . A century ago there were tram networks in nearly every city in the Britain , offering the UK first really cheap, convenient and classless means of urban transport. By the late 1930s they were in decline, being replaced by the apparently more flexible motor bus and trolleybus, and since the 1960s the private car has ruled. London's last tram ran in 1952; was the final big city system to close ten years later. But trams are making a comeback. As air pollution and congestion gets worse in our car dominated towns, emission free tram systems are now seen as a sustainable and environmentally friendly asset to cities. There has been a light rail renaissance all over the world. We are well behind Glasgow Germany, Franceand other countries but the now has 10 modern tramways, all built in the last 25 ye UK ars. We will look at and discuss the rise, fall and return of the tram. Are we now going back to the future with light rail?

To understand these happenings, we need also to understand King John himself, that most controversial of English monarchs – his character, his family, his problems.

i've had enough of yesterday's and tomorrow's.
I want today! Every breath of it.
Every taste, every smell and every word.
Every look, every sigh.
Every pout, every lie.
Every memory preserve it and the look in your eye.
To see it all clearly and drink it all in.
With no refrain and no concern.
And live at my whim.
I get it now, I've never seen, I have just observed.
I never really got it, i never really deserved.
Every smile and every sense, every tear of troubles hence.
Oh, what would I give, to bridge the gap of yesterday's and tomorrow's and live.

[author: James G. Ryan]
It has been over a year since the verdict in the trial of Casey Anthony, a mother who was accused of murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee. The acquittal was widely covered in the media due to strong emotional responses by many of the people following the case. Recently, new evidence was found after an Orlando based television station, WKMG, discovered that computer investigators who conducted the keyword searches on the computer used by Casey Anthony overlooked vital data that could have changed the outcome of the case.
In general, keyword searches are used during the discovery process to help find documents that are responsive to opposing counsel's discovery requests or are relevant to the case. For the past twenty years, keyword searches have been used by many litigants to reduce the number of documents that have to be manually searched. A keyword search is typically performed by indexing all the documents into a searchable database or using an existing search feature that is built into a program, such as Microsoft Outlook's "find" feature.
Once the files are indexed or organized, the reviewer enters a specific word/phrase in a search form and the program or database returns any documents that contain that word/phrase in its content. For more information regarding performing advanced Boolean searches, check our post titled, "Performing Boolean Searches in Adobe Reader Across Multiple PDF Files".
Keyword searches are used frequently in the discovery process for multiple reasons including: the simplistic nature of performing the search, the low cost associated with the feature since it is built into many of today's e-discovery platforms, and because courts regularly accept keyword search procedures in their discovery protocols. However, as technology becomes more advanced and the amount of data that is produced increases, litigants and courts are beginning to realize that keyword searches may not be the most effective way of filtering the data.
More specifically, keyword searches have an essential flaw: when a litigant uses keyword searches valuable evidence may be missed due to the ergonomic concept of human error, such as spelling. That is exactly what investigators discovered in the Casey Anthony matter. Investigators and prosecutors spent nearly three years collecting, analyzing, and preparing for the Casey Anthony Trial. That preparation included searching a computer hard-drive, which was often used by Casey Anthony.
Throughout the case, prosecutors argued that Caylee was poisoned with chloroform and then suffocated using duct tape. Unfortunately, her body was found about six months after she disappeared and was too decomposed for her cause of death to be determined. When trying to convict Casey Anthony, prosecutors produced only a few vague entries created by the computer's Internet Explorer ("IE") browser, which included a search for information about making chlorophyll, but Casey Anthony's mother testified that she was the one who conducted that search.
The initial search conducted by investigators that brought to light the IE browser's files, however, overlooked over 1,200 entries that were created by the Firefox browser, another browser that was also located on the computer's hard-drive. Those overlooked entries included a Google search for the term "fool-proof suffication," a misspelling of "suffocation". Whomever conducted the misspelled search also clicked on an article about suicide, which discussed taking poison and putting a bag over a person's head. Additionally, the Firefox browser recorded activity on the social networking site MySpace, which was commonly used by Casey Anthony.
As you can see, keyword searches have their limitation; in particular, the fact that human error may contribute directly to the data produced. When conducting a keyword search it is imperative to use wild cards (e.g. "!" or "*" at the end of a word) and to include common misspellings of words, as mistakes are often made and code names or slang are sometimes used for cover-up purposes. Without doing so, a litigant risks missing indispensable information that may contribute to the outcome of their case.
If you or your company is facing litigation that includes producing electronically stored information and are running to problems with conducting effective keyword searches, contact James G. Ryan at firstname.lastname@example.com or via his direct line at (516) 357-3750.
