Oncolytic viruses are designed to eliminate tumors by direct infection and lysis of cancer cells. Recently, we and others have observed that in addition to a direct tumor killing by the virus there is also an indirect cytopathic effect due to vascular collapse associated with a loss of blood flow to the interior of the tumor and infiltration by peripheral Gr1+CD11b+ neutrophils. Furthermore, our preliminary results demonstrated that oncolytic vaccinia virus (OVV) expressing an antagonist of the CXCR4 receptor for CXCL12 chemokine (OVV- CXCR4-A-Fc) was more effective in inhibiting growth of triple-negative (TN) breast carcinomas 4T1 in syngeneic mice compared to the treatment with OVV expressing the enhanced green fluorescence protein (OVV-EGFP). The inhibition of primary and metastatic tumors by OVV-CXCR4-A-Fc was associated with i) an increased expression of interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF8), a putative determinant of protumorigenic behavior of MDSCs, in tumor-infiltrating granulocytes, ii) reduced percentage of FAP+ cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), iii) decreased levels of CXCL12, and iv) collapse of the tumor vasculature. These changes within the tumor microenvironment were either not observed (such as elevated expression of IRF8) or were less pronounced after treatment with OVV-EGFP. The mechanism by which OVV-CXCR4-A-Fc affects interaction between CAFs and MDSCs and expression of IRF8 is unclear. We hypothesize that the enhanced expression of IRF8 in MDSCs and promotion of their differentiation toward type 1 phenotype with antitumorigenic activity is regulated by the CXCL12/CXCR4 ligand/receptor signaling pathway in CAFs. We propose to identify the key events of the CAF/MDSC interaction that regulates expression of IRF8 by analyzing changes in the production of tumor- derived factors (TDFs) in 4T1-bearing syngeneic mice and human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-23 xenografts in SCID mice.
The Specific Aims are: 1). We will compare quantitative and qualitative changes in CAFs, myeloid cells, epithelial tumor cells, TDFs, and tumor vasculature induced by OVV-EGFP and OVV-CXCR4-A-Fc treatments. 2). Using IRF8 knockout and IRF8 transgenic mice and autologous AT-3 breast carcinoma cells, we will explore the role of IRF8 in modulation of myeloid differentiation after blocking the CXCL12/CXCR4 ligand/receptor signaling pathway by OVV-CXCR4-A-Fc. 3). Using the established 4T1 breast tumor model for spontaneous lung metastasis, we will compare the reciprocal dynamics in colonization of a metastatic niche in the lungs by IRF8+ MDSCs and mature neutrophils after OVV-CXCR4-A-Fc and OVV-EGFP treatments. We anticipate that understanding the activation of inflammatory cells can be used for enhancing the effectiveness of OV therapeutics for treatment of the highly aggressive tumors.
We propose to investigate changes in the dynamic interaction between malignant and stromal cells that facilitate tumor-free survival and provide a clear understanding of the role of the CXCR4/SDF-1 signaling pathway in breast cancer pathogenesis. The goal of this application is to target CXCR4 expression in triple- negative breast carcinomas by an oncolytic virotherapy expressing CXCR4 antagonist and elucidate the mechanism of primary and metastatic tumor growth inhibition in preclinical studies in mice. We anticipate that a combination therapy that attacks both malignant cells and the 'other half'of the tumor mass (that is, the stromal cells) could be more effective and might also elicit long-lasting adaptive immunity to the transformed cells.

Whatever laser treatment you are involved in, we have a cost effective solution to help improve revenue and enhance the reputation of your practice.
The Use of Lasers in Medicine
A whole range of medical procedures now rely on the use of lasers and in many cases we are not even aware of the fact that a laser is being used to treat us. Current figures suggest that we are currently only using laser to around 15-20% of its capabilities in medicine, with new procedures and adaptations of laser treatment evolving on a monthly basis.
Many Doctors now believe that laser based treatments will not only revolutionise the way we treat cancer but also save the NHS money.
LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Laser are concentrated beams of light traveling in a particular direction which makes them different from normal light in that the light waves are traveling in harmony and usually at one particular wavelength or colour (monochromatic). The specific wavelength is determined by the amount of energy that is released when atomic particles are excited with in a laser generator system. This initial energy then undergoes multiple reflection resulting in amplification of the light source and giving rise to LASER.
Although the concept was theorized by Albert Einstein in 1917, it was not until 1960 that Theodor Maiman produced the first working laser, with it being used one year later in an American hospital to destroy an eye tumour. And so began the medical revolution.
Most people think of laser as a continuous beam of light. This is 'continuous wave' mode but we now have laser that can be operated in a pulsed mode i.e. switched on and off very quickly. A pulsed beam of light is extremely useful in medical applications and means we can ensure a far more peak power than in continuous wave mode.
Due to the nature of laser light, laser can deliver a very precise amount of energy at a precise frequency (and wavelength), which is particular useful in medicine. Depending on the type of laser, the beam of energy can be used to cut tissue better than the sharpest of scalpels, coagulate blood or it can shrink or totally destroy tissues.
We utilise laser in medicine by selecting the wavelength of the laser light; because different wavelengths of laser light are absorbed differently in human tissue. This is because certain targets in the body (known as 'chromophores') can absorb specific laser energy at a specific wavelength, without damaging the surrounding tissue. These chromophores include water, melanin and haemoglobin.
Current research shows that the shorter wavelengths are absorbed in the pigmented tissues, such as melanin, whilst the longer wavelengths are absorbed in water. By selecting the correct wavelength of laser and thereby targeting these particular chromophores, the laser energy can heat them to a point where they are destroyed. These properties of the lasers enable medical lasers to be used in the treatment of hair removal, tattoo removal, thread vein removal and pigmentation treatments.
With in cosmetic surgery, the longer wavelength lasers are being used for the removal of fine lines and wrinkles, due to the longer wavelength of light penetrating deeper into the skin. Beyond a certain wavelength the laser energy is absorbed by water, and so the first water cell that the laser meets absorbs the energy which makes a medium like erbium ideal for skin resurfacing. Technically, this works as a result of the laser energy being absorbed by the water cell and the water completely evaporating from within the cell; causing the skin treated to shrink and shrivel and stimulating the production of new younger-looking firmer skin.
Laser have uses in many other aspects of medicine and one of the main area currently being Dermatology. Laser are used in dermatology fro the treatment of: Acne, Age spots & sun discolouration, Birthmarks, superficial lesions, freckles, fine lines and wrinkles, haemangioma, port wine stains, rosacea, scars, tattoo removal, unwanted hair, veins and verrucas.
Laser are also widely used in Dentistry for the treatment of: apthae and herpes, cavity preparation, gum disease, root canal treatment, sensitive teeth, soft tissue surgery and teeth whitening.
Aesthetics treatments such as: hair removal, tattoo removal, vascular treatments, Wrinkle reduction, anti-aging therapies, pigmented lesions and acne are also now heavily dependent on Laser procedures.
Ongoing development of Laser treatments are now occurring in a vast array of other medical branches, including Gynaecology and a vast array of surgical procedures.

Product DetailsBreaker Morant is one of the most acclaimed Australian films, telling a powerful tale of wartime betrayal and injustice. Henry "Breaker" Morant (Edward Woodward) is an Englishman living in Australia at the end of the 19th century. When war breaks out in 1899 between Britain and the Boers (descendants of Dutch colonists), Morant and a number of Australians volunteer for duty and are absorbed into the non-regular units of the British army. Acting under orders from his commanders, Morant oversees the execution of several Boer prisoners; it turns out that one of them was German, and in order to keep the peace with Germany, Britain agrees to courtmartial Morant and two other soldiers, sentencing two to death and one to life imprisonment. Based on a play by Kenneth Ross, Bruce Beresford's film is powerfully filmed and acted and has become a classic anti-war movie since its 1980 release; the script (co-written by Beresford) was nominated for an Academy Award. The final execution scene is nearly overpowering in its sense of tragedy and futility.

In Glimpses of Raja Yoga, Vimala Thakar introduces the basic concepts of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras by focusing on different sutra, or aphorism, in each of the twelve chapters. In her opening chapter, she presents the historical and cultural background of Patanjali's Raja Yoga. Chapter 2 contains an eloquent invocation of the dimension of Silenceathe meditative state that one enters with the stilling of the mind. Chapters 3-6 examine the ethical principles and observances (the yamas and niyamas) that form the foundation of a healthy spiritual practice. Here Vimala discusses the importance of ahimsa (non-violence) and satya (truthfulness), and offers a radical interpretation of brahmacarya based on her understanding of Sanskrit. Chapter 7 concerns the kleshas or causes of suffering such as avidya (ignorance) and asmita (egotism). Chapter 8 discriminates between dharana (meditation with deliberate focus) and dhyana (effortless meditation), and reflects Vimala's own experience. Chapter 9 describes the relation of prakriti (matter) and purusha (spirit) according to Patanjali. Chapters 10-12 describe the ultimate goal of the yogic journeyathe absolute freedom of samadhi.In Glimpses of Raja Yoga, Vimala Thakar introduces the basic concepts of Patanjalia#39;s Yoga Sutras by focusing on different sutra, or aphorism, in each of the twelve chapters.

The only thing that we use Tawain for its child labor. Lets face it the US presence in Tawain is similar to the Soviet presence in Cuba...and look how well that worked out.

This is no justification though. Hatred is not something that comes natural.

The Sports Xchange
NFL Team Report - Oakland Raiders - INSIDE SLANT
Any plans the Raiders had in turning Jacoby Ford into a West Coast version of Devin Hester have hit a snag.
The Sports Xchange
NFL Team Report - Oakland Raiders - INSIDE SLANT
Any plans the Raiders had in turning Jacoby Ford into a West Coast version of Devin Hester have hit a snag.
First and foremost, Ford's got a bum left foot.
After catching a short pass in a 31-27 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Ford left the game and when he returned to the sideline, it was on crutches and wearing a protective boot.
It was probably a new boot, but it didn't have to be. Ford used one extensively last season when an injury to the same foot cost him six of Oakland's last seven games.
Coach Dennis Allen said tests "don't seem to indicate it's significant," but it's worth nothing Ford was on a week-to-week basis last season and the condition dragged on. By the time the season ended, Ford, who also had a broken hand and a hamstring injury, had played in only eight games with three starts.
That came after a rookie season in which Ford, a fourth-round draft pick out of Clemson, caught 25 passes for 478 yards and also returned a team-record three kickoffs for touchdowns.
Ford added a fourth kickoff return touchdown last season. That tied him with Andre Coleman (San Diego, 1994-95), Hester (Chicago, 2006-07), Travis Williams (Green Bay 1969-70), and Derrick Vaughn (Atlanta 2000-01) as players who had four kickoff returns for touchdowns in two seasons).
The hope was Ford would stay healthy this season and approach Gale Sayers' record of six kickoff returns for touchdowns in three seasons. In theory, he would also would be in the rotation of wide receivers along with Darrius Heyward-Bey and Denarius Moore, and would also return punts for the first time since college.
It would give the Raiders a Hester-like presence, although Ford preferred to personalize it.
"I want to play a Jacoby Ford role," Ford said. "I want to do anything I can to help our team win."
Things were promising after a strong training camp heading into the preseason opener, a desultory 3-0 Monday night loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
However, Ford dropped the first two passes Carson Palmer threw his way, muffed a punt out of bounds and was pinned at the 14-yard line on a kick return.
"I definitely did not want to come out and put anything on film like that," Ford said. "But you know, games like that happen, and that's why you've got to have a short term memory and put games like that behind you."
Said Allen: "He didn't play up to our expectations. It's one football game. It's not the end of the world."
Palmer said the Dallas drops were the first two he could recall in dozens of passes to Ford during training camp.
It's not known how long Ford would be out following his latest foot injury. Allen said the Raiders would be scanning the waiver wire. When asked if Ford could not only miss the final two preseason games but also the start of the regular season on Sept. 10 against San Diego, Allen conceded he didn't know.
"I don't know the answer to that," Allen said. "Is there a chance? Yeah, there's a chance. We still got to continue to look at it and see what type of time frame we're looking at."
Ford was hoping to put his injury issues behind him.
"When I was healthy I was effective," Ford said. "The freak injuries, that was something I couldn't control. I'm looking past that. That was a tough season. I'm focusing on Year 3."
NFL Team Report - Oakland Raiders - NOTES, QUOTES
Quarterback Carson Palmer did not play well against Arizona, completing 13 of 24 passes for 103 yards and a badly overthrown interception that was returned 60 yards by the Cardinals' Kerry Rhodes.
Palmer also had an interception in the preseason opener, and has yet to hit his stride in coordinator Greg Knapp's new offense, which features zone runs and more bootlegs and rollouts than the drop-back system he operated in last year.
"I just need to keep grinding," Palmer said. "Obviously I won't complete every ball. You want to go down and score on every drive, but I just have to keep improving, keep grinding, and continue to improve on everything in practice."
The Raiders failed get a touchdown in two goal-to-go situations, settling instead for field-goal attempts.
If head coach Dennis Allen is worried, he wasn't letting on.
"I think Carson is still learning this offense," Allen said. "I don't have any reservations or any doubt at all about Carson Palmer."
-- Backup quarterback Matt Leinart left the Arizona game with a laceration on his index finger of his right (non-throwing hand). He played well for the second time in four days, completing 5 of 8 passes for 66 yards before leaving following the helmet-to-helmet hit by nose tackle Ray Lumpkin that left him injured.
Leinart, the former No. 10 overall pick by Arizona who was released heading into the 2010 season, said "It felt really good to be out there. It was kind of weird at first jut to be back, but it felt good. I was doing well until unfortunately (I got hurt), but I'll be OK."

He was absolutely excellent and his treatment really saved my holiday. I am writing this review a month and a half after I had the appointment and I am still fit and mobile. Mathew also took time to text me and to ask if I was feeling better. I will definately see him again if needed in the future when back in Edinburgh."

* * * * * BACK TENSION EDINBURGH – "I can certainly attest to the wealth of compliments featured here. My first sports massage with Matthew was met with a truly excellent, professional service. He combined some of the best elements encountered through previous masseurs (pre-massage heat via hot stones, incorporation of resistance techniques and a very thorough assessment). Matthew displays an exceptional level of knowledge and goes out if his way to make sure he can help, ensuring you are content throughout the entire visit. I aim for a sports massage once a month and saw Matthew requesting specific emphasis on the back with can tighten up easily. At the end of the session I noticed reduced tension in the back and shoulders and improved range of motion in the neck after some work in that area. He was even able to assess and help with my hip which is sightly out of alignment. All in all, hugely impressed and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sports massage :)"

* * * * * STOMACH ACID / ACID REFLUX EDINBURGH – "Excellent massage. Matthew greatly improved my stomach acid problem through working on my spine. I have had this problem all my life but he seemed to have identified my problem very quickly and rectified it. I will highly recommend him to anyone!"

* * * * * LOWER BACK INJURY EDINBURGH – "Visited Matthew for help with a lower back injury sustained at work, and also ongoing neck issues. Matthew took extensive notes and spent a good while assessing my mobility and conducting a survey of my issues. He then discussed his findings and talked through a course of treatment for the injury. After the treatment for my lower back, I felt an immediate improvement and the mobilization certainly helped the pain disappear quickly. The upper back and neck massage was excellent and has helped with my neck issues. Can recommend Matthew as a thorough professional."

Thank you Matthew, great work, highly recommended."

I need massage for a long standing back problem and his understanding and massage technique ensured my confidence in him! I'll definitely be back!"

* * * * * BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "This was my first sports massage and I was very impressed with the results. Matthew was very thorough in assessing my shoulder and back to locate where my pain was originating from. To my amazement the next day, for the first time I can remember, I woke up with no back pain! Matthew also gave me advice on how to help prevent further back pain. Would highly recommend. Thank you."

* * * * * LOWER BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "I had two massages and acupuncture with Matthew. I was suffering lower back pain and twisted ankle after accident. After first treatment I felt huge improvement and relief from pain in my ankle. After second massage week later my back was brand new. I feel really good now, I can work and I don't feel pain any more. Thanks Matthew!"
Magrita M
* * * * * HIP AND LOWER BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "Went to see Matthew about a problem with my hips and lower back which I've had on and off for the last 5-6 years, but had been particularly debilitating for the last 2 weeks. I've seen quite a few physiotherapists in the hope of getting rid of the pain, or at least getting an answer as to what was causing it with not much luck. After just 1 session my back and hips are pain free, and I actually know what was causing the pain. Matthew himself is very accommodating, friendly and clearly very knowledgable. Top class service overall, would highly recommend."
Grant Kinghorn
* * * * * LOWER BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "I went to see Matthew as I've began training again after some time and had pain in my lower back and shoulders. After an initial consultation and examination, Matthew was able to zone in on these painful areas and surrounding tissue. Afterwards, my back and shoulders felt much better straight away. Post massage we discussed changes in the way I sit at my work desk as well as follow up care. I cannot wait to see Matthew again and have scheduled monthly appointments. Being made to feel at ease as well as being walked through things in a way I could understand was so refreshing. Thanks again Matthew!!"

* * * * * COMPUTER BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "Matthew took care of my back prior to an important exam. I had been recovering from a shoulder injury for months. He aligned a couple of vertebrae and massaged my back, shoulders and arms thoroughly. I slept fantastically well that night and passed my exam the day after. All those hours sitting in front of the computer are bad for my back so I will be visiting him again"
R Yungenfeld
* * * * * CAR CRASH BACK INJURY EDINBURGH – "I can't recommend Matthew highly enough. It's rare these days to receive the level of care and professionalism I had with my first visit to Matthew. I have issues with my back after a nasty car crash and needed to see someone urgently. Matthew responded to my initial enquiry almost immediately and arranged an appointment swiftly. From the minute I entered his home he made feel comfortable and at ease. He took the time to talk through my issues and explain exactly what he felt needed to be done. The massage itself was brilliant and instantly fixed some of the pain I was experiencing. Afterwards he asked if there was anything more I felt he could have done and again explained what he had done and why. In total I was there for almost 90 minutes yet he only charged me for the hour appointment and not once did he try to push further treatment on me. Within a couple of days I was completely back to normal and pain free, which has never happened before. I can't thank Matthew enough for his professionalism and care and would absolutely recommend him to anyone."

Having never tried acupuncture before I am now a firm believer in the benefits on joint and muscle pain, with almost immediate results. I highly recommend Matthews skills in what he does."

* * * * * CHRONIC LOWER BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "I visited Matthew this week for some help with chronic lower back pain. Having had this condition for many years, and tried physeo's, chiro's and osteopaths, I was at the end of my tether. Matthew took considerable time to investigate the issue and undertook a thorough check, whilst assessing the possible issues. He proceeded to treat me whilst explaining what he was doing and why, before finishing the treatment with a massage. If you are wondering how I got on, then it's great news. I've had 4 days pain free, since my visit, and can't believe the remarkable difference and improvement. If you have ever suffered from this type of back pain and wondered who to go to for help, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Matthew."
Claire Shiels
* * * * * LOWER BACK ACHE EDINBURGH – "Matthew was very professional and attentive – I felt extremely relaxed. There was the right pressure on the right muscles and he particularly worked well on my lower back and hamstrings which was causing me some pain lately. I will definitely return to loosen those muscles further! Thanks again."

* * * * * BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "This was the most useful, therapeutic, and relaxing massage I've ever had. Matthew was as friendly as he was professional, and I immediately felt confident of his experience and practical knowledge. He took the time to identify my particular needs, before addressing them with skill and accuracy. Oh, and strength! My back has never felt better, and I highly recommend Matthew to anyone who wants to experience proper massage."

* * * * * SPINE REALIGNMENT EDINBURGH – "I had an appointment with Matthew for the first time yesterday, not sure what I was expecting. But Matthew is the kind of person that exudes kindness and his soft demeanour is all part of the relaxing atmosphere he works in. After an in-depth discussion of any issues that I might have had with my back, neck or spine in general; he worked on the realignment of specific vertebrae (his knowledge is amazing) in my back, neck and even did some work on my hips. Matthew is very professional and lets you know what he is going to do and what he is hoping to achieve with each step of the process. All of this expert knowledge was combined with a very comfortable environment, that could do nothing but ease you into a state of relaxation. Matthew also gave me an amazing massage and I feel that I have been fixed without realising that I was broken. I woke this morning after the best nights sleep I have had in a long time. I can actually feel the difference in the work he did on my spine. Fantastic value for money and I will be recommending to my friends for sure and will certainly be back again on a regular basis. Thanks Matthew"
Martin Ingram
* * * * * STIFF BACK EDINBURGH – "I've had upper body and hip mobility issues for quite a while now. I went to see Matthew today and had the first sports massage I've ever had. He was great, he made me feel at ease and I can already feel a difference! Definitely recommended."
Graham Bell

* * * * * BACK ACHE EDINBURGH – "As a fellow massage therapist its great when you can find someone who knows exactly what they are doing. First massage with Matthew tonight and I couldn't be happier. He is a friendly, welcoming guy who puts you right at ease and his knowledge of how the body works helps him to pin point what area needs worked. His pressure is very firm but not sore and he asks to make sure which shows he cares about his clients and their well being. Will definitely be back for more! Thanks Matthew :)"
Malcolm Boyle
* * * * * LOWER BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "2nd massage with Matthew. GREAT! I have some lower back pain or a niggle which on both visits he spent some time to rectify. A very comfortable massage room in his flat with the offer of shower facilities at the end. Unhurried and very professional sums up the service!"

* * * * * CHRONIC BACK ACHE EDINBURGH – "The very comfortable massage table, the room itself, perfect temperature and lovely relaxing music: all of these contributed to the ideal set up for the massage. Matthew too has a genuinely warm and welcoming personality which helped no end to put me at complete ease. The massage itself was pitched at exactly the right level, with the right amount of pressure applied to the various parts of my body. I have had back problems for many years and need to get regular care for it. This was the first time I had booked a massage with Matthew and it won't be the last. I had a great night's sleep and felt great the next day. All-in-all I can't speak highly enough of Matthew as the massage I got ticked all the right boxes."
* * * * * BROKEN BACK PAIN – "I have a broken back, an injury I sustained three years ago playing rugby. However, thanks to Matthew I managed to greatly relieve the pain for a few days (bearing in mind I suffer pain 24/7, these were days of great pleasure). I will be sure to visit again soon!"

* * * * * BACK MASSAGE EDINBURGH – "I went to Matthew as he had been highly recommended by another client that had problems due to a sports injury. I was extremely impressed with the way in which he assesses you first so that he can address what is needed for you rather than one treatment for all. I've been to many masseurs as I do suffer from back trouble due to my work. I came away feeling great and haven't had many problems since. He's is the consummate professional and also a really wonderful guy. I shall certainly be returning."

I travel an hour from Glasgow as there is no one in Glasgow who can help me as much as Matthew has done.

Not knowing what to expect I was made to feel relaxed and comfortable in a lovely warm and relaxing room. Matthew explained what he would be doing every step of the way Matthew made me feel very at ease and I trusted him immediately. After the session I could feel the pain and tension I had been experiencing melt away .The next day I was able to move freely without pain much to my surprise. I would highly recommend a visit to Matthew and cannot believe that after one session I was pain free. Matthew does indeed have healing hands and I would highly recommended him he is very knowledgeable and does not rush your visit."

* * * * * TRAPPED NERVE BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "I've been a regular visitor to Matt for several years. Whether it's for a relaxing massage or to help when I've problems with a trapped nerve in my back, Matt is always friendly and attentive, checking out how things are, if i need any specific treatment. I've experienced his acupuncture treatments – i was so skeptical and had put off the treatment, but on a recent problem with my back i sucommed – and it really does work – it helped clear and move the pain. And if you want a relaxing massage i can really recommend the hot stones massage. Go for a nice long massage and relax – you are in incredibly good hands with Matt"

Matthew was very professional but friendly and spent time talking through what my issue was with me and what would work best for me in terms of treatment. The massage was fantastic, and I immediately felt less tension in my shoulders and that the 'knots' had gone too. After a few days I could still feel the difference and had no pain when using my new baby carrier. Would defiantly recommend… Good value for money too!

Reviews for back ache treatment in Edinburgh
* * * * * STIFF BACK EDINBURGH – My GP recommended I went for a good sports massage to relieve a painful and knotted back and neck. I also had a problem with repetitive strain injury to my arm and so I was in desperate need of 'fixing'! I've had two appointments with Matthew who is kind and very professional and has managed to sort out all my problem areas in those two visits. His massage is excellent and I can't recommend him highly enough. His prices are also very good.
* * * * * BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – Initially the first massage appointment I made with Matthew, was for my friend who had been suffering with daily back pain for 12 years after a bad car accident. His experience was of immediate relief, and he was astounded that one massage would be so beneficial. He has returned to Matthew for follow up and each visit really helps his long term pain. I booked my own massage with Matthew after the brilliant experience my friend had experienced. I too have long term spinal and neck and back pain following severe trauma and surgery on my spine many years ago. I had been convinced I needed surgery again due to extreme pain and stiffness that was beginning to affect my movement. Like my friend I had incredible relief after just one consultation and massage, I can really highly recommend Matthew, his treatment is outstanding and knowledgeable, Matthew really listens to what you have told him and he makes you very at ease and comfortable.

* * * * * BACK STIFFNESS EDINBURGH – "Absolutely amazing massage! I booked in with Matthew after suffering from weeks of shoulder and back stiffness. I read the reviews and booked a 1.5hour appointment. I couldn't believe the difference at the end of the session! That was 4 weeks ago and my still feel as good as new. Matthew is a friendly guy and puts you at ease straight away. He explains what he is going to do and how it will benefit. I would definitely recommend to others and return again."

I had a few sessions and the periods where the scoliosis hasn't given my grief are more frequent and longer than before! Would highly recommend, a really nice guy who knows what he is doing and with a high knowledge of the body and pain."

He has a very calming placid manner and a wealth of knowledge. His work is extremely thorough. Since attending him I have less frequent migraines and my back pain is a lot more manageable. I would highly recommend him."

I am not in Edinburgh permanently but when I am here I make a point of booking in, just wish I was able to have more regular sessions as I am sure this would be beneficial. Deep tissue massage really helps with back pain. I would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew to anyone."

* * * * * LOWER BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – Matthew is one of the best in the business. I went to him for a sports injury and also on short notice he was happy to accommodate me. He spends time showing you where your having pain and what areas will be worked on. He is very knowledgeable in the muscle skeletory system. I had pain in my lower back where I could hardly move one session with Matthew and it was a total difference. I had my mobility back and felt 200 times better. I will now be making monthly appointments with Matthew. I cannot recommend his treatments enough. Thanks again Matthew

My visit did exactly that.

Matthew is friendly and professional and communication was quick and easy. I had been experiencing pain in my lower back, neck and shoulders which have all definitely improved since my visit.

Matthew did a very thorough assessment, explaining exactly what was going on and what he could do to help. The massage therapy provided great relief from the pain in my lower back and hips. The stretches and postures tips I was given have made a big impact daily, on preventing a tight back and hips. 10/10 would use again."
Charlotte Crerar
* * * * * BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "I had a very positive experience with Matthew! He was so friendly, relaxed and experienced. I was experiencing quite severe headaches and they improved after a few days of seeing him. The back pain I was complaining of was also relieved. He gave me tips on a better posture to prevent back pain in the future, and the price was very reasonable! I would highly recommend him."
Hanna Savidge-Walker
* * * * * DANCER BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "I was visiting Leith for a week from the States and booked a massage with Matthew for upper back, hip, and lower leg tightness resulting from Highland Dance, general stress, and a long flight. Matthew expertly addressed each of these areas and I noticed a difference right away. I attended a local Highland class two days later and had noticeably more ease with turnout, and no cramping in my calves or feet. I was really impressed and only wish I lived in town, as I'd be booking regular appointments with him! If you're a Highland dancer in or visiting Edinburgh, definitely look him up!"
Lauren Welker
* * * * * LOWER BACK PAIN EDINBURGH – "Fantastic massage, probably the best one I've had! I had been experiencing some ongoing lower back pain & general body aches.

I'm looking forward to my next appointment already!"

It is a controversial issue that has spawned passionate debate.
Collegedale was the first city in the state of Tennessee to offer benefits to same-sex domestic partners.
In the coming weeks, Chattanooga's City Council will decide whether to follow suit with a policy of their won.
Are the council's views as divided as the beliefs of those who addressed the issue Tuesday night?
"This is a volatile issue on both sides," said 7th District Councilman Chris Anderson, "and I think people feel very strongly whether they're for it or against it."
The question of whether the city of Chattanooga will offer benefits to same sex partners in a state that doesn't recognize same sex marriages has yet to be taken up. But, it lead to another packed city council meeting.
Supporters rallied outside and took their pleas inside. "My wife and I," said one female speaker, "and yes, I can call her my wife because as of September 16th of this year we were legally married in the state of Maryland. We both work 40 hours a week, full time, with benefits. Only we cannot share those benefits with our legally married spouse."
Those in opposition cited religious reasons. "We should not reward immorality," said Shad Smith, Pastor of Temple Baptist Church. "The Bible says 'righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.' I don't want to live in a reproached city."
One man read Bible passages at the lectern, another spoke of entitlements. "When we speak of benefits, we're talking about entitlements," said Pastor Alfred Johnson from Church of the First Born, "and I do not believe that a person is entitled when they break, not only the law of God, but also the laws of the state."
Those arguments that did not fly with those who attended the meeting clad in red. One of the speakers asked, "Whose morals are we going to be deciding by? Some religious organizations say that a woman has to have her head covered. Are we going to make that city law?"
Councilman Anderson, the first openly gay candidate to win election in Chattanooga, is working on language for the policy with the city attorney. On the change, he said, "I think people will see that it's a fair and equal proposal and it treats all our employees with the dignity and the respect that they deserve, just like so many other Chattanooga employers already do."
The city attorney and HR administrator will discuss with council members the issue of offering city benefits to all unmarried couples next Tuesday at 3:30. There will be time for more public comments.
The council is likely to vote on the issue on November 12th with second reading scheduled for November 19th.

JERUSALEM — Israel's botched commando raid on the pro-Palestinian aid flotilla this week has caused enormous strains in the Jewish state's relations around the world, but nowhere has the damage been more critical than in ties with Turkey, once its closest friend in the region.
Nine Turks died in the raid early Monday, among them Furkan Dogan, 19, who was born in Troy, N.Y. and carried a U.S. passport. He and seven other activists were commemorated in an enormous funeral in Istanbul Thursday. All had been aboard the Mava Marmara, which led the six-ship Turkish-sponsored flotilla that was trying to break the Israeli and Egyptian blockade of Gaza.
Turkey reacted in fury to the raid, withdrawing its ambassador from Israel and cancelling all pending joint military exercises. Now, Israeli experts on the region say that future military cooperation is out of the question, which threatens to cause major harm to Israeli security interests.
Although little known to many outside the country, Israel has regularly staged joint military exercises with Turkey, and if it were to carry out its threats and attack Iran's nuclear facilities, Israel might need to ask Turkey for overflight permission.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told President Barack Obama Thursday that Israel is on the verge of losing its "best friend" in the Middle East. He called Israel's raid on the Turkish-flagged vessel an unacceptable violation of international law and norms, Turkish media reported.
Erdogan also called on Israel to lift the siege of Gaza, which was established in 2007 when Hamas militants took control of the coastal strip.
However, Turkey, which has publicly championed the Gaza cause since Israel's intervention in the Palestinian territory in December 2008, also has held open the possibility of restoring normal relations — if the Gaza blockade is lifted.
"The future of ties with Israel will depend on the attitude of Israel," Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Thursday in Istanbul. "I see no reason for not normalizing the ties, once the Gaza blockade is lifted and our citizens are released."
Thus Turkey effectively has offered Israel a choice between maintaining the Gaza blockade or its military and diplomatic relationship with Turkey.
Intense military cooperation was the driving force behind a decade-long boom in Turkish-Israeli ties, said Dr. Anat Lapidot, an Israeli expert on relations with Turkey at Jerusalem's Hebrew University. The two countries signed a landmark military cooperation deal in 1996, where Israeli companies were awarded $700 million in contracts to modernize Turkish military equipment.
Relations deteriorated, however, during Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip last year, and in January they took another blow when Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon gave Turkey's envoy to Israel a public dressing-down.
Turkey has cancelled several joint military drills with Israel, and no future exercises have been planned. Jerusalem Post military correspondent Yaakov Katz, who observed previous drills, said that Israel's military benefited greatly from previous drills.
"Israel is a very small country, and the air force requires large places to be able to drill and exercise long range flights — such a potential attack on Iran," he said.
"Turkey which is a very large country has enabled Israel to fly over its airspace, and that has allowed Israel to plan long-range flights, some of which it might have to carry out in the near future," said Katz.
In the past two years, Turkey had become increasingly close to other Muslim States in the region, and last month attempted to help Iran avoid United Nations economic sanctions by proposing a deal to outsource Iranian uranium enrichment to Turkey.
Katz said there's irony in Turkey's improving ties with Iran, since the training Israeli pilots received over Turkish airspace is widely considered to have prepared the Israeli air force for a potential strike on Iran.
Israeli media also have reported that Turkey allowed Israel to access its radars in monitoring Iranian and Iraqi air space, while other deals have involved the exchange of military students and expertise on chemical weapons protection.
"Israel has already begun to look to other countries, such as Azerbaijan, for similar drills," said Lapidot. "Cooperation between Israel and Turkey on a military level might have been considered of vital importance. But since it's no longer an option, all we can do now is shed tears over it."

RB Recruiting
In the next week - we have both DeVeon Smith and Derrick Green visiting us. With Ty Isaac delaying his announcement, it seems we may have to choose between Smith and Green.
Personally I like Green better because of his vision and power running ability. How do we stand with him and is a commit imminent from Green (as we are speculating in Smith's case?)

4-Way Paired Kidney Exchange - Donor Lichtman
Kidney Exchange Donor Helps Her Husband and Others
Stacey Lichtman and her husband Carl came to the University of Maryland Medical Center from their home in Florida. Carl faced the prospect of dialysis because of end-stage renal disease. Since Stacey was not a match for Carl, they both entered the Paired Kidney Exchange (PKE) Program. Carl received a kidney from Emmet Davitt and Stacey donated her kidney to Bob Loudermilk.
How did you choose the University of Maryland?
A friend who had a kidney transplant here recommended UMMC and its facilities. My husband Carl was told he had end-stage renal disease and was looking at the prospect of dialysis, which we both thought was extremely grim. Neither one of us wanted that as an option. Then we heard about the transplant team here at UMMC.
What was your next move?
We made an appointment and came here in June 2009 to meet the entire team. I met with the donor team in early September and had some tests. Carl and I received a phone call in October that said we would be able to participate in the Paired Kidney Exchange Program. I was not a direct match for my husband, which was why we had to take part in the exchange. From there, things moved quickly, and on November 3 we had our surgeries.
What did you think about the single-incision laparoscopic procedure for kidney removal?
I was very happy with that. There was almost no pain whatsoever, and I was walking the very next day. The hospital released me on the second day after surgery. I am happy to say we are both doing well.
How are you feeling now?
I'm doing very well now and feel terrific. I've been up and active ever since the surgery. I have a lot of energy and look forward to getting back to work, exercising, and having my whole life ahead of me.
How did you feel about the care you received?
We were extremely impressed by the efficiency and compassion of the entire team. Everybody at the University of Maryland Medical Center was just wonderful. All of our needs were addressed and any questions were answered promptly and with compassion. I always felt we were in good hands.
What would you say to someone thinking about kidney donation?
I would definitely recommend kidney donation to anyone facing the same type of prospects we were facing. The outcome was extremely positive for both of us.
I just feel that if you are ever in a situation where a loved one's life is in jeopardy, it's a no-brainer. Who wouldn't do this for someone they care about if the outcome is good for both? If you are in good health, it is a wonderful thing to do.

Clemson Sandhill is a 2.1 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near North Crossing, South Carolina that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
Rode perimeter loop and lake loop. Perimeter loop is fairly easy but has some variations that make it fun to ride over and over again. Lake loop has a few nice rest areas with nice views of the lakes to hang a hammock and relax.
I love walking the dogs on these trails. Close to town and kept clean. I've never met an unfriendly person out there and I don't feel unsafe.
I added this trail when I couldn't locate it on the site. This is a nice user friendly trail/trails that are very easy to hike. Some very wide trails and some in the woods that are a little closer. Would have given it five stars except that it's a dog on leash park but there is so much traffic in certain areas and it's a bit close in the woods so you can be surprised by joggers and in turn my dogs surprise them. I'm always aware some people are afraid of dogs so you have to be aware of the larger amount of joggers. Other than that this a nice little gem hidden back behind The Village at Sandhills. And the lake house is quite nice.

Last night on yahoo news, the title of an article caught my eye,
Say what?
Here is the subtitle of the article:
10 years ago a Singapore lady gave up her marriage for 10 stray dogs.
Now she has more than 200, and doesn't regret her decision at all.
The more I read about this woman, the more disbelief surrounded me.
I just finished reading Completely His by Shannon Ethridge. Amazing book. One thing she teaches about is how when we have Jesus in our heart, we are the bride of Christ.
Shannon points things out in this book about that role we take on that kept my attention captive, such as this,
"We are all invited into an intimate love relationship with Jesus, regardless of our heritage, our social status, or our gender.
All that is required is that we submit to Him as our heavenly Bridegroom and love Him with a bridal love".
She also points out that before we said yes to God, He knew we'd be unfaithful to Him.
"It's hard to imagine that a groom would commit himself to an unfaithful bride, but this is exactly what God has done with you and me".
The lady in the article mentioned above gave up her marriage for her love of stray dogs.
One day her husband gave her an ultimatum -- either the dogs went, or he did.
The dogs won.
How sad for that man, I thought.
But then I started thinking about my walk with Christ, my marriage to Christ, and I thought of all the meaningless things I have swapped Him out for.
Things that "won".
~Relationships that brought Him no glory
~Ungodly attitudes
~An affair
~Ridiculous spending habits
Gene and I have been married for 10 years. Standing at the altar together if I had said to him,
"I Lelia take you Gene, to be my husband, to honor and cherish, but I'm not going to be faithful to you. I'm going to lie and sneak and cheat on you. Oh and I will get pregnant from this affair and hide my lying life style by having an abortion. In sickness and health, 'till death do us part".
If Gene knew ahead of time that I was not going to keep my vows, he would've said, "See ya" and turned and walked out of that church on 9th and Claremont Streets on that hot summer day in June. Out the door and never to be heard of again.
Same thing with the groom in Singapore. Had he known she would choose canines over him within a decade, no way would he have taken her as his wife. One thing she said about her ex-husband is this, "If he loves me, he should accept me for who I am".
Jesus Christ.
He knows us.
He accepts us for who we are.
And still says I do.
I do want her all to Myself.
I do want to use her ugly past for My glory.
I do love her as is.
I do want to be the God of her Is (present), Was (past) and Is to Come (future).
Are you swapping out anything for Jesus?
Just like the Singapore groom gave his wife an ultimatum Christ gives us one in
Revelation 3:16
So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
As that man didn't want dogs to be his wife's #1 priority, God wants nothing or nobody to come before Him.
I need to be swapping out some junk in my life for Jesus.
I need to trust my Bridegroom enough to completely surrender to Him. Every day.
I need to be on fire for the God who loves me regardless of my unfaithful heart beating within my chest. Because being spit out by God is much worse than the sting of rejection that man felt when his wife chose dogs over their marriage.
I love you Jesus!

Our Story
With 10 locations throughout Connecticut, Michaels Jewelers is one of the state's leading merchants of diamonds and fine jewelry and is a family-run business whose tradition spans over five generations.
Founded in 1885 in Halifax, Nova Scotia by Abraham L. Michaels, it was established as a wholesale jewelry business when Abraham's son, Irving, Sr., moved the family to New York City and founded Irving Michaels & Company in 1905. Michaels' first U.S. jewelry store opened its doors in New York City in 1911. Irving, his wife, Martha, and a partner opened the first Connecticut store in New Haven in 1915 as Michaels Maurer. When the couple bought out Maurer's interest, they opened a second location in Bridgeport in 1916, a third in Waterbury in 1919 and by 1926 had expanded to Meriden, Hartford, Torrington, Bristol, and Providence, RI. In 1948, the Middletown and Manchester stores joined the empire.
Today, you can find Michaels Jewelers in Danbury, Orange, Avon, Bristol, Torrington as well as in major malls at Westfarms, Manchester Buckland Hills, Westfield Trumbull, Westfield Meriden and Waterbury Brass Mill Center. In 2010, Michaels opened Pandora retail stores in Westfarms, Danbury Fair Mall and Stamford Town Center in addition to Pandora boutiques in all of their Michaels locations. In 2012, Michaels expanded their Pandora retail locations into New York, New Jersey, Arizona and New Mexico in The Westchester, Paramus Park Mall, Menlo Park Mall, Willowbrook Mall, Coronado Center, Tucson Mall and Park Place Mall. More recently, Michaels expanded their boutique in Trumbull to a full store in 2015.
Michaels Jewelers has pioneered several prestigious designations throughout their long history in Connecticut, having been the first jeweler in the state to earn Certified Gemologist and Appraiser titles. Michaels continues to have the only AGS Accredited Gem Laboratory and one of the largest Appraisal Departments in the Connecticut area.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) recently approved the new regulations chart of hiring non-Kuwaiti doctors and other medical staff by signing them to temporary contracts according to the Locum system.
The new chart includes not allowing any of the hired staff members to leave Kuwait without permission from MOH. The new conditions also include a one-month trial period to examine a candidate's technical skills, after which the contract is terminated if the hired staff member appears to be below bar. The chart also limited the contract period to a non-renewable three months within any given year.
According to the new chart, the locum system does not apply to hiring doctors or medical staff locally, be them working for the private sector or residing in Kuwait. In addition to verifying applicants' résumés and qualification accreditation, the new system states that locum staff members are not entitled to any vacations except for the official days-off and leaves system followed in facilities they work at.
In addition, locum medical staff will work five days a week, enjoy full health services in case of sickness and will be subjected to filling an evaluation sheet in case the facility manager decides hiring any given locum doctor and explains why the decision was made.

I am a British Sign Language (BSL)/English Interpreter. I completed my two-year full time training in 1997 at The Centre for Deaf Studies, Bristol University. In 2004 I became a Member of the Register of Sign Language Interpreters (MRSLI) having gained my full professional status.
Sign Language Interpreting is the profession that allows those using British Sign Language (BSL) as their first or preferred language and those who do not have competence in BSL to communicate with each other. The need for an interpreter can occur in a variety of settings, to include: health appointments, education and training, public service, police and legal, leisure activities, the Arts and religious ceremonies.
I work in a variety of domains but have over the years specialised in Performance Interpreting, working at various events during the Brighton Festival 2011 including the 'This is Acappella!' evening for which I received an nomination from The Latest for Outstanding Contribution.
I collaborate with Nadia Nadarajah, a native sign language user and performer in creating the interpretation.
Forthcoming interpreted shows are shown on the dates page
