on the
Eagles guitarist and founding member Glenn Frey has died, aged 67.
Glenn Frey died in New York yesterday (18th Jan 2016) after battling against various intestinal issues, his bandmates confirm.
The guitarist, who underwent surgery in November 2015, had been suffering from illnesses including acute ulcerative colitis, pneumonia, and rheumatoid arthritis, with the cause of death believed to be due to complications surrounding the health problems.
In a statement on the band's website, his family and bandmates wrote: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of husband, best friend, father, comrade, and Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York City on Monday, January 18th, 2016."
Confirming the cause of death, the statement continued: "Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis, and Pneumonia."
"Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide."
Glenn wrote and co-wrote a number of the Eagles greatest hits including, 'Hotel California', 'Desperado', 'Heartache Tonight' and 'Lyin' Eyes'.
The band, who split in 1980, took home six Grammy Awards and sold over 150 million albums worldwide during their time together.
Following the end of the Eagles, Glenn continued to have a successful career as a solo singer, with his most famous offerings being 'The Heat Is On' and 'You Belong To The City'.
Fellow musicians including country star Tim McGraw, KISS guitarist Paul Stanley and 1D bandmate Niall Horan have since taken to Twitter to honor the late guitarist.
His music was personally inspirational, his impact immeasurable, his legacy timeless. #glennfrey #heartachetonight

Many of the skin conditions faced by our patients are not considered medically dangerous, but are cosmetic in nature, which can cause an unsightly appearance leading to self-consciousness and embarrassment. Our mission at McGuiness Dermatology is to help our patients achieve confidence in their appearance. Leg veins and facial veins are two cosmetic dermatology issues we treat in our offices in Plano, Flower Mound, and Prosper.
How to Treat and Reduce the Appearance of Leg Veins
Leg veins come in many sizes—from the diameter of hair to that of small ropes. In some cases, large leg veins can be the sign of a medical problem that should be treated by a physician. If your veins are sizable, or there are indications you have problems with veins deep in the leg, we recommend you see a doctor who specializes in large vein treatment for evaluation. If a deep vein problem exists and goes untreated, treating the smaller superficial veins will be especially frustrating, as they will be very likely to recur.
Cosmetic dermatology specialists use various procedures to treat leg veins including Cutera Excel V, and IPL treatment. The number of treatments needed varies depending on the number of veins, the size of the area treated, and how easily the veins respond. Even without underlying deep, large vein problems, the smaller, superficial veins can be resistant to treatment, or recurrent. Uncommonly, they sometimes become worse after treatment.
How to Treat Facial Redness and Facial Veins
Visible facial veins and redness are often linked to Rosacea. Rosacea can be treated topically, with pills, or with lasers, pulsed light and other devices used to remove the visible blood vessels on the face and reduce redness.
McGuiness Dermatology treats facial redness and facial veins using tools such as the Palomar MaxG laser, or Cutera Excel V. Several treatments are usually required, and treatment may have to be repeated in the future. The Palomar MaxG laser uses pulsed light to remove facial veins and redness. The Cutera Excel V is the only tunable laser system on the market that combines two ultra-precise laser wavelengths in one device, and can be used to treat deep facial veins.
If you are suffering from unsightly leg veins or facial veins and redness, contact the cosmetic dermatology specialists at McGuiness Dermatology, providing care to patients in Plano, Flower Mound, Prosper, Dallas and surrounding areas.

OTTAWA, Province of Ontario (AFP) – Canada's central bank maintained its key lending rate at one percent Wednesday, saying advanced economies are starting to turn around but financial volatility in emerging markets has added new uncertainty.
"The global economy continues to expand broadly as expected, but its dynamic has moderated," the Bank of Canada said in a statement.
US economic momentum has been "slightly less" than anticipated since interest rates began normalizing over the summer, it said, while Europe is showing signs of a recovery and Japan looks "promising."
However, increasing financial volatility in a number of emerging markets has created uncertainty for growth.
These global economic doubts are delaying an uptick in demand for exports and investment in Canada, the bank noted.
It concluded: "As long as there is significant slack in the Canadian economy," inflation remains muted and housing sector imbalances persist, the bank said its current rate "will remain appropriate."
Analysts predicted a rate hike from near record lows in early 2015, or possibly late next year.

The Black Box (A Harry Bosch Novel)

Rating: 7
In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved.
Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box," the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.

I know we are in the middle of Fall 2011 NY Fashion Week but at the same time all I can think about is the new spring lines coming out in both editorials and in stores. A few of the looks that keep popping up that strike my fancy come from Lanvin. I love the colors, the flowy fabric, and leather details... not to mention the one shoulder silhouette.

Island Conservation Society-Significant record of wedge-tailed shearwaters on Desroches Island
Unfortunately this colony does not exist anymore, which could have been the cause of cats and rats present on the island.
Fortunately a second colony was later discovered in November 2008 at the opposite end of the island, around Muraille Bon Dieu, and is still successfully active.
Wedge-tailed shearwater, better known as 'fouke dezil' is the only large all-dark shearwater likely to be seen in Seychelles waters. Its large size and dark underparts separate it from the much smaller Audubon's shearwater.
Adults emit an eerie wailing 'woooh' at their breeding sites and juveniles give various squeals. Birds are often far out to sea during the day, but stream past headlands in the late afternoon to gather in floating rafts off the breeding islands.
They visit their burrows at night. A single egg is laid in a burrow between September-October, at the end of the southeast monsoon, with juveniles fledging between February-March.
The Island Conservation Society (ICS) established a centre on Desroches in June 2009 with the aim "to promote the conservation and restoration of island ecosystems, sustainable development of islands, and awareness of islands their vulnerability and vital importance to the planet's biodiversity". One of the many activities on the ICS programme is the monitoring of the wedge-tailed shearwaters colony. Since the centre opened we have ridden down ever Monday evening at around 7pm to observe the colony and the bird's behaviour. We also set rat traps to help give the birds the best chance of survival.
After about a month of looking we decided to choose 15 freshly dug burrows randomly over the area to get a better idea of what is happening. At times only 5 or 6 burrows could be seen with one bird; others empty or contain hermit crabs. We did not let this discourage us as these magnificent sea birds make their burrows curve at different angles which can make it difficult to get a good look at what is inside. On the last day of October, after a long day of doing beach profiling, we went to do the normal weekly check up and came away very excited because we saw eggs in the burrows for the first time.
This is remarkably significant because an island like Desroches which supports large numbers of cats and rats has got a very active breeding colony of wedge-tailed shearwaters. This makes Desroches unique from other islands such as Alphonse, which also supports these pests. The colony on Alphonse, which was found two years ago by the ICS team based there, has never been seen to lay eggs, and adult birds have even been found dead around the colony, presumably killed by cats. Today no birds are now found on Alphonse.
We, on the other hand, are still keeping our fingers crossed that in a couple of months hatching will take place and lots of babies will be seen, which will be a massive success for the team and for the population of these birds here on Desroches.
The Island Conservation Society promotes the conservation and restoration of island ecosystems.

Aside from chasing each other around the house, and chewing on things their favorite activities right now are:

I started looking into food for them today, the one that we got with them (Wellness) seems good but I wanted to look into more options, and see what we could find at a closer store. This site was really informative.

I spent about 2 hours yesterday zipping through various episodes of The King 2 Hearts on Viki.com purely so I could read the comments that pop up on the top of the screen. I don't know how anyone can watch the drama the first time through and concentrate on what's going on with all the noise, but for a second viewing it is stupidly fun. The vast Read More →

A Fond Farewell
I didn't want to leave my last post as the last word on The King 2 Hearts, because as sad as I was that it was the end (sob!) and little disappointed that the last two episodes weren't perfect (my expectations were way high ok? When I re-watch the finale I'll probably be much more enthusiastic about it), I really loved this drama. I fell hard for these characters, who felt so real because they were truly written and acted so well. Although the plot sometimes tested my patience, it was the characters who never failed me, it was the characters that grounded the show and kept me laughing, crying and pumping my fist. Waiting for the next two episodes to air each week was near torture, but oh t Read More →
The End of an Obsession
The last two episodes of The King 2 Hearts were a mess. In a rush to reach the finish line it was tonally uneven, the pacing was downright bizarre, and the emotional intensity that carried the show for 18 episodes was tellingly absent. I've had a chance to watch episode 19 a couple of times now, and knowing what is to come I was able to appreciate that without the death of Shikyung, which takes you too far with one emotion without pulling you back into the story, it was a strong enough episode on the strength of Jae Ha and Hang Ah's reunion date and later their possible separation. It would have been much stronger had the show enough time to set up the impending war plot, and I dunno, had an Read More →
The King with Many Hearts
In all honesty I haven't seen that many Korean dramas. The ones I have watched I began because I was sick at home, or on holiday. They have been my go to happy place, a lovely little bubble removed from reality, full of romance and comedy and a little angst to round it all out. K-dramas in reality, span genres of all kinds, but historically the ones I have been drawn to have been wish fulfilment exercises parading as rom-coms. When done well, they're incredibly satisfying- the closest approximation I can think of in western media oddly enough, are BBC mini-series. K-dramas it turns out have a lot of affinity with adaptations of Dickens and Austen; wicked mothers, absent fathers, spunky penniless heroines, Cinderellas in waiting trodden on by truly villainous villains. Likewise, the smallest of interactions between the Read More →
The King, 2 Hearts: Two People in a Room
Hayley and I started this blog an age ago, and we chose a time when both of us were really too busy to commit to it, and too busy even to meet up as often as we would like, so it essentially fizzled out as soon as it began. I'm only reviving this because if I send Hayley one more crazed email or sms about the K-drama "The King, 2 Hearts" (currently airing- 2 weeks left) she is going to murder me in my sleep, and she doesn't even know I've been spectacularly restrained.
I'm not going to explain what a K-drama is, all anyone needs to know is K-dramas at their cracktastic best, will make you laugh, cry and wonder desperately why you have so many feelings. K-dramas are an emotional commitment western media has not properly prepared you for. First encounters with K-dramas, and Korean entertainment in general actually, go along the lines of: "Eh, what the fuck is this?" Two days later you haven't slept, eaten or showered while marathoning the whole drama, and upon completion, instantly start looking for your next hit. Typically K-dramas only run Read More →

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," January 6, 2016. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Now to campaign trail. The Iowa caucus, 26 days away. The New Hampshire primary, well, that's 34 days away.
Former speaker of the House and 2012 GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich goes ON THE RECORD.
Nice to see you, Mr. Speaker.
NEWT GINGRICH, FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE: Good to be here as always.
VAN SUSTEREN: OK. So who is going to win Iowa?
GINGRICH: Probably either Cruz or Trump.
VAN SUSTEREN: What does Cruz have to do to pass Trump because Trump is winning in the polls in Iowa?
GINGRICH: Well, I think Cruz is doing the right things. He's out on a bus. He's out there going to small town to small town. And this is a real test between the modern politics of tweeting, calling in to TV shows and the traditional politics of being out there, meeting people, in their local communities.
You know, Trump is a phenomenon, whether he can get people to turn out, we don't know. There is a belief that Cruz probably has a better turnout mechanism. It's pretty clear the race in Iowa right now is those two guys.
VAN SUSTEREN: Why is Trump a phenomenon? What is it about him?
GINGRICH: Well, I'm doing a column this week on "The Art of the Deal," the book he wrote back in the 80s, because I read it over Christmas and found it was very helpful.
Trump here is very big in every way. I mean, he is big financially. He is big in his ideas. He is big in his aggressiveness. He's physically big. And I think that communicates to a country.
If you are a typical American, you recently have seen the Saudis and Iranians going head-to-head. The world markets are falling for 3 straight days. The North Korean setting up a hydrogen weapon. You now have reports of various immigrants in Germany who are raping and molesting women.
You know, all these things are going on around you and you think the world is losing its mind. I want somebody really strong. And in comes Donald. And Trump, he looks really strong. He may not be totally what they believe in, but he looks strong enough to try it out. And I think there is almost like Andrew Jackson, a very substantial part of the American people saying I would rather take a risk on him than on the current system continuing to decay.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right, fast forward. Let's assume that he wins the GOP nomination. It's now August. Does the GOP establishment get behind him 100 percent?
GINGRICH: Yes.
VAN SUSTEREN: Yes, you think so?
GINGRICH: Yes, because the alternative is Hillary and Bill Clinton.
VAN SUSTEREN: And so you have no doubt in your mind that people won't just sort of stay home, the people that can --
GINGRICH: I think people -- when the race gets down to everything we're learning about Hillary Clinton; the degree to which she has used the State Department to take care of Bill; the amount of money that poured through with people doing business with her; the degree to which she has lied about virtually everything, the degree to which she had secrets on her emails; the degree to which she is lying about Benghazi.
Take the total picture and think to yourself, do you really want this in the White House? And I think at least for our party and for our base, the answer is going to be overwhelmingly no. And the people are going to say whoever the Republican nominee is, I am for them.
VAN SUSTEREN: Anybody but. But, of course, the -- a lot of people on the Democratic Party don't believe any of that and think that all the things that you just listed are sort of just the Republican attack on Secretary Clinton.
GINGRICH: People have wilful belief in fantasies and that's one of them.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right, New Hampshire. So New Hampshire, Donald Trump is doing pretty well there, but you got some of the second tier. You've got people like Governor Chris Christie. Governor Kasich both doing well there.
GINGRICH: Well, this is one of the fascinating parts to this story. If you didn't have Trump and Cruz, I think you would have a much more open story. What I can't figure out is how do you get past both Trump and Cruz. So what you have is the layer below Rubio, Christie, Kasich, fighting each other to try to get to be number three. Not to try to be number two. To try to get to be number three. And I think that's a very interesting phenomenon.
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, to Cruz, President Obama said he was a first term senator with no experience. Cruz get hit with that?
GINGRICH: Sure he gets hit with it some. Rubio gets hit with it some.
VAN SUSTEREN: And Rand Paul?
GINGRICH: And, of course, Rand Paul. And, of course, you had, you know, Trump who hasn't even been a senator. So we want to talk about -- but this is a year where people are going, oh, I'm so glad you don't have any experience.
I mean, I have never -- look, I have never seen anything like it in my life. I was talking to Rick Santorum a while ago and we had a long year together in a campaign in 2012. And I said, if I were running, I would not have a clue how to function in this environment, given what's going on.
VAN SUSTEREN: I guess we can agree it's never dull. Not dull.
Anyway, Mr. Speaker, thank you, sir.
GINGRICH: Great to be with you.

A hot water shower is very rejuvenating if all else fails. Or a hot tub if youre fortunate enough to have one. It works as well as medicine sometimes.
And don't forget to share the Spoon Theory with your friends and family to help them understand…
This is an amazing explanation! Thanks for it. It's exactly what I consciously and unconsciously do. Now I can try to explain it.
I am really stuggling with fatigue right now. Thanks for these tips!
I don't have RA, but i guess music could work :soldier:
New to RA, I wasn't sure why at times my body parts felt like they weighted a 100 pounds each and just crossing my legs can take all the engery I can muster…..Now I know it is just another part of this cross we must bare…….!
I had no idea how bad the fatigue would be. I was diagnosed 4 months ago and thought the worst thing would be the pain. Now that my meds are working on the pain I am am struggling with the fatigue every day. I drink coffee to clear my brain fog and keep me awake at work and pass out the moment I get home. Trying to get in shape again by working out but every time I plan to, the exhaustion is too much to bear… Anyone out there able to make working out part of their daily life?
Fatigue is a relatively new symptom of RA for me. I don't recall being fatigued without reason in the early years after I was first diagnosed. I'd be tired, sure, but I associated that with long hours at work, caring for my family and keeping up my home. During hard flares I'd be fatigued, but I didn't expect NOT to be, since I wasn't sleeping well because of the pain.
Now, however, I do experience periods of inexplicable fatigue and brain fog. It's a strange, hollow feeling, and one I'm always glad tends to dissipate rather quickly. I'm hoping, of course, that it doesn't get worse.
@Wren… I know exactly what you mean. I don't really remember feeling fatigued as a child or in my 20s and 30s. It wasn't until I hit my mid 40s that the fatigue really set in. Now that I'm in my 50s, fatigue is a constant companion.
…. and NO, I don't think that's the normal aging process. I know a lot of 50 somethings who don't need a 1 1/2 hour nap every day.
Diana thank you for saying that I am in my 50's and am constantly fatigued..even when all my other symptoms are "under control" for now I was beginning to think I was just lazy or something because I spend about 30-45 minutes doing chores and then have to rest for 15-20 minutes or longer. Going on a trip exhausts me even when I am not the one driving and I spend the first couple of days resting before I am able to do whatever I went on the trip to do. It is so good to know we are not alone with all the weirdness that RA brings
I am not sure where I fit in here. I got positive ana tests years ago, and was sent to a rheumy, but nothing was ever done, until about a month ago. I have had phantom pains for a while now, I was actually told when I was about 15 that I HAD to have knee surgery or I would never get off the crutches that I was on…of course I opted for no surgery and eventually got better, I have been diagnosed now, thats how I found your site…doing research…and thank you, from everything that I have seen here, it is the best site so far!!
I have had RA for approx a year now, am taking methotrexate orally, but my question is… does the climate make it worse, my reason for asking is, before i moved here just over 2 years ago we lived in a dry area. now we are in an area that gets an average rainfall of 1400+ mils per year. does this dampness as well as the cold make the symptoms worse ??
Thank you for sharing this article I truly enjoyed it and learned from it. I have had RA for 8 years . I wish my family would understand my RA better. :-/
Thank you kelly I sent that email to my husband. I will tell you I have a wonderfil husband, but I want him to learn more about this awfull desease, I have 2 boys 22years old and 17. My father and my older sister has RA too. : /
thank you for listening to my story. : )
My first response is happiness that someone acknowledges the fatigue is real. Mine is debilitating 90% of the time if not more. I have always been an outdoors active person, now many days I don't go outside. I research often, take biologics and am under pain management but still have no relief for the fatigue. I've tried diet changes, med changes, natural treatments all to no avail. I am a positive jokester with a good outlook and ctrong Christian belief. In short I've done all I see on these websites, any new ideas…PLEASE?
Hi Paul,
Check out my earlier post on "Nuvigil" prescription. My Rheumy was really up to date with all the new things to try. I told him I had brain fog that was so bad. He couldn't do anything about the body having more energy, but my brain fog went away with the RX of Nuvigil. It was originally RX for Narcolepsy, and now they are finding it works well with RA and Fibro brain fog. It sure helped me. Now I am an intelligent blob of tired flesh instead of an idiot tired blob of flesh!
i forgot to mention the worst:BRAIN FOG,it has been getting worse,and some days it is completly incapacitating.the worst is in the morning,and if i take sleep aids for my fragmented sleep the fog is much worse.there is very little swelling and the pain is manageable.take plaquenil 400mg once a day,for 1.5 months.i plan to reduce dose to 200mg.also take Zeel and Traumeel, both homeopathics made by HEEL.the traumeel helps with pain,and zeel i hope it helps.also take 2000 mg salmon oil and 2000 mg flaxseed oil.
Can RA flare up during weather changes?
What can I do when my hands hurt so bad at night it keeps me up all night ? pain pills don't help?
In my case exhaustion was the most debilitating aspect of RA. I was missing work at an alarming rate, making me think that I would need to retire, even though I could not really afford to do it financially. My doctor prescribed a drug called Nuvigil for my exhaustion. It is expensive, and fortunately I have dual insurance with my wife that covers it, but it turned things around so I can make it through the day. With it I can see continuing to work until it retire normally in a few years. Without it I would have to retire now.
One of the very first RA groups I was involved with had a lively 70 year old who had RA. She had a great tip for getting some small chores done without overdoing it. Whenever the TV is on, get up and do a small chore that takes 2-3 minutes. In an hour show you could clean a whole room without doing floors, and you get to rest 5-10 minutes between chores. On days when I am really tired it really helps to keep the jobs short and sweet
I have actually done this and it does work! I do little things during the commercials, and watch the main part of the show! Distracting where the pain is concerned..but…by the end of the show, you have accomplished something!
Thanks for a great article. My husband has had very severe RA for 20 years now, and I've just been diagnosed with it (a touch of dogs and their owners it seems I've had bad fibromyalgia for quite a while. Both of us have very bad fatigue but we're being treated with Provigil (modafinil)for it. As we're in Ireland our meds are free so I'm not sure of the price. It really helps with the fatigue and to get us to exercise, especially me as I'm as lazy as sin.
What's excellent for RA exercise is Band Training as it tones and stretches out the muscles without forcing you to use heavy weights that would hurt your joints. My husband's wrists are fused so he uses leather wrist cuffs and attaches the bands to that in order to protect his hands. You can do it at home and the generic bands (rather than the branded ones) are relatively cheap. There are loads of free videos Youtube on band training to help you along. If you're really tired, focus on the easy core exercises as you should be able to get them done in 10 minutes, no fuss. Hope it helps!
I have always popped up during commercials to do little quick chores–it keeps me from turning to stone and I believe it's part of the reason I am thin. Nowadays I don't watch TV much, but divide up my daily dish-washing stint into 2 or 3 commercial breaks (suggestion of my physical therapist when I complained how it hurt my back to stand at the sink). I need to remember to do the same with computer time, too.
What an excellent description of how the fatigue just comes on like the flu. People in general do not tend to believe what they cannot see. The disbelief that RA patients suffer from family, friends and public in general is not malicious it is ignorance of how someone can "look" ok outside and inside be in such distress.
I am grateful for this post and all the comments. I was diagnosed with RA a few weeks ago and at my last rheumy visit I was also diagnosed with fibro. The medication (methotrexate and Cymbalta) seems to have started working on my pain, but the fatigue is completely debilitating. Every morning, I feel like a heavy weight is on top of me and I cannot get up. I could stay in bed all day and night if I didn't have to get up. I have gone from being a chronic insomniac to being able to sleep anytime, anywhere. Also, the brain fog is horrible. My husband chides me about staying in bed so long, but I cannot help it! I am glad (well "glad" may not be the right word) others experience this too, because I was starting to wonder if I was just lazy.
Graet post- I personally choose to go Gluten free and this has helped.
Good spelling Pat! Meant Great Post!
go until you collapse – that's how i roll! either way – i could rest and be moving around gently and "taking it easy" and still end up feeling the same at night. if i get crazy for working and projects, i "wrap up" – to protect wrists, ankles, etc and then go at it like i always have. when i can't, i "flop". while i am in bed or on the couch, i write the lists – "planning for what i can do when i am more able" – as you mentioned – and prepare for the next "good day"!!!!
I went gluton free 3 weeks ago. So far I haven't noticed much, but I am determined to stick with it for a while. I would love to hear from others who have tried the gluton free diet.
Hi Janet- how are you feeling now with choosing to be Gluten free- stick with it..it is worth it!
Hi, I am reading all of the posts here and am finding out that RA effects my life in many ways. I was diagnosed with RA over a year ago, have had it for almost 10 (don't know why we just figured it out). I have recently in the last 3 week broken a rib and bruised my stomach, sternum and my liver(fell forward onto my chest without hands catching me) I am now sleeping 12-14 hour days. Is this because of my RA and healing or does anyone else think I am way off base? Any comment will help. Thank you for your time.
The fatigue just makes me crazy! And the way it gets some better and then much worse, over the last weeks it has been piling up on me until finally yesterday I laid down for a short nap at five and woke up this morning! Never took out the dog, never locked the door, never took off my clothes, just slept 16 hours! Just wiped me out! I get to the point where everything makes me tired – can't stand it!
a few more thoughts about combating fatigue – mind over matter isn't out of the question – i use that a lot when i have to get something done and sometimes the fatigue lifts for awhile – the coffee also helps that "fake" sense of well being as well as foods like bananas, walnuts, lemonade (naturally sweetended – avoid sugar) and best of all – lots of water. i think dehydration is a huge culprit. i have been told i was dehydrated even after gobbling lots of liquids and fruits. i think that it is a side effect of this disease as well as the the meds – drink copious amounts of liquid. keep water with you all the time and drink! keep it by your bedside – it can disturb your sleep if you have to pee in the night but it lessens the dry mouth and keeps you evenly hydrated. the kidneys help remove the toxic side effects of methotrexate (fatigue among them) so water helps you flush this out. don't use sodas and teas as they will also clear out too many vital nutients. plain water!
I was diagnosed with RA 3 years ago but only took it seriously a month ago. Why? Because I could barely walk because of pain in my feet. My physician said he felt like my RA had moved into my feet. I guess if I would have taken my RA seriously and took the prescribed medicine like I was suppose to maybe I would have never had to experience the pain in my feet. I am battling fatigue, not on a daily basis but when it comes it hits me hard! I am in the health field and work nights. Do you know what causes the extreme fatigue? I have been doing a lot of research but haven't came across a reason. Since taking my meds regularly my pain in my feet is better. Thank you so much for your compassion, advice and experiences. It's comforting to know I am not alone in fighting this disease.
When I look back, foot pain was probably the first symptom, before I knew I had RA. I thought it was getting older, could
not wear hardly anything but good gym shoes. No more high heels for me! You were in some denial, which is common at first,but now you are accepting and taking the meds. Good!
I used to be able to walk 3-5 miles, no more. Sometimes, if I
walk 15 minutes, I am more tired the next day. Yoga works well
for me. I guess I have been doing it for so long, my body is ok with it and RA. Glad you are feeling better!
I have been fairly lucky. I was diagnosed with RA 3 years ago,
and since then the methatrexate is working well. No pain, but
now a lot of fatigue, almost like a flu. WELL -I had been too
stressed for a few weeks, now I am paying for it!! So all I can say is AVOID STRESS AT ALL COSTS,OR YOU WILL PAY!!
For type A, high achieving people, this is quite a change of
lifestyle. But, I must accept,and deal. The best of luck
of all of you!
cant believe i found this site. next few days i am going to vent here. I now know i had RA for at least 5 years but just got diagnosed within the last 6 months. I TOLD the doctor all of my symtoms. We were looking for limes and other stuff. I still can not believe there has never been something identified that cause RA . NEVER ?
I was already doing most of these before I was diagnosed. Having FMS for years, I guess prepared me for RA.
I keep thinking that the fatigue is all in my head. I still cannot get my head wrapped around the disease. Right now I have to pace myself that on a good day typically I can so two 'things', work amend one other thing, e.g. Cook something small, put the laundry away. Sometimes it might just be eating is the other thing…
This site does help me, as I go through my journey believing it is just in my head and nothing is really wrong – how can I be fatigued when I do sooo much less than I used to?? Patience and learning to listen to my body… Thanks for the inspiration RAwarrior!!
Tried to convince myself and my rheumatologist that I don't have RA (neg bloods)but she wouldn't budge. Hand joints have been sore since Sept 2013. She has me on methotrexate & plaquenil (grrr) x 1 month now with no real response thus far. I know these take time but I hadn't gotten any relief with a week of Prednisone either.. Anyway, all to say I didn't even mention the fatigue to her. I can have a great night, wake up feeling refreshed and then 2 hours later, bang, my eyes are watering and want to close (and get red as well). Happens almost daily but I still work out 3 times a week regardless as I won't let it take me down. When are these meds going to kick in and allow me to close my hands again and not feel sooooo fatigued??? OK, no more complaining from me.
For me, fatigue is the worst part, even worse than the pain (sometimes). The meds keep the pain in check, but there's no magic pill for the fatigue. That being said, I do keep a package of Stacker 3 in my desk at work for those days when I just can barely move. Some would poo-poo the "energy pills" but I don't like the taste of energy drinks. They do help, but by the time I get home, I…am…DONE! even without those i'm usually "done" by the time I get home. I don't know if I'll make it to retirement (11 years) without having to go part-time.
I have what my doctor says is moderate RA, but my biggest pain is not joint pain (but i still have that)but symtoms such as anxious, short of breath, wake up heart racing, sleep problems, dry mouth, burping, stomach pain/nausea, throat hurts, trouble swallowing….ANY SUGGESTIONS, please help with any ideas on what i can do…
Thank you Thank you.I am not alone.
I realize most of these posts are 6 or so years old – but the problem isn't old and hasn't disappeared from those of us who have RA/RD and the fatigue and multitude of other issues associated with it.
One thing I have found that does help is soaking in the tub with epsom salts. The hot water helps me to relax and I try to play comforting music while I soak.
However I'm sitting here right now trying very hard NOT to cry. Along with the fatigue I suffer with bouts of depression. I have so many things I want/need to do to my house. If I do have a day where I can do a few things, I tend to overdo and then pay for it for days. Then there are the problems like the back, neck, hips, among other joints.
It is so difficult to deal with when people just do not understand. I've found so many doctor's even that do not "get it" – my heart doctor says it cannot affect my heart while my heart rate goes to 130 just walking to the kitchen – the PCP says it can't affect my lungs. Her most common response to anything that I ask about is – well, I'll defer that to your Rheumatologist. The gastro doc refers to the PCP – the PCP refers to the gastro doc……I'm just fed up!
Sorry, I'm going on and on and I'll stop. It is so helpful to know I can come to these posts and know I'm not alone.
Thanks to you all – many blessings and comfort for your pain.
In reply to Kelly about not being able to walk 40 minutes or feeling well enough to exercise. That's how I feel every day. I use to be pretty active. Now it's extremely difficult to bend and pick up something from the floor. Standing at the sink to do dishes for even a few minutes is very difficult. It feels as if my joints are rusting, the stiffness, pain, and fatigue are horrible.
There is a tv show on PBS, once a week, that I record. The excercise is 22 minutes. I do them approx.5x/week. Before starting this I could barely bend down, go up or down stairs, or reach up. It is called essential stretching by Miranda Esmond White. She is an ex-Canadian ballerina who I think is 68 years old. (Maybe 64). It seems simple at first, but when you actually do the stretching it is a workout. She will tell you at times, when things are too hard, what you can do instead. You can buy all her work outs on dvd's.( Classical Stretch – The Esmonde Technique: Complete Season 10 – Strength and Flexibility), as an example. I just record them for free. What a change it has made in my life, just 22 minutes!!!!
I was the exact same way!!! See my comment about essential stretching by Miranda Esmond White on PBS. Still hurt, but really changed my life!!!
Hi, I am 19 years old and I was diagnosed with RA last year and I have already become very weak and the fatigue is really hard already. I work a little over four hours a day and I come home and go to bed and it's the same for when I have to run errands. Its hard to do anything when you are always tired.
I have been living with RA for 15yrs now. My meds have been slowing getting to the point where I am now on Rituxam infusions that have to be given at the cancer center. The fatigue is overwhelming at times and I feel like a truck has run over me most mornings. I believe weather plays a huge part in how my day is going to be but even nice days are becoming more difficult for me.I just wish they could find something that works longer than a couple months.
Ask your doctor about Nuvigil. It is not a stimulant like Adderall where you feel jittery. It is used for Narcolepsy and night shift workers. It is probably the thing that saved me from losing my job. Get the best mattress you can afford.

Slavery? In Our Time?
For our reading class the fifth and sixth graders are finishing off a book called "Stealing Freedom". It is the story of a real slave in the time before the Civil War. The story tells of families being torn apart when some of the sons were sold to pay off debts of the owner. It mentions how some slave owners beat their slaves for even minor offenses. Sometimes the female slaves were more highly valued because of their ability to produce offspring that could be sold as slaves.
This particular slave's parents and siblings were purchased by a group working to end slavery but they didn't have enough money to secure her freedom too. They wind up kidnapping her and sending her along the Underground Railroad to freedom in Canada.
The horrors of slavery assault our sense of decency and morality. Yet even in our modern world, we wouldn't have to look too far to find examples of the very same cruelties.
Even if we were able to eradicate all slavery in the world today there would still be a slavery going on among us. It is the slavery that began with our first parents way back in the Garden of Eden. All of us have been slaves to sin since Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. In our natural condition, from the time we were conceived in our mother's womb, we were slaves of Satan. Our condition was even more hopeless than the slaves in our novel, we could do nothing to save ourselves, there was no escape.
But thanks be to our God! He saw our condition, our slavery, and had compassion on us. He loved so much that he sent his own Son to save us from this slavery. He took up the punishment we deserved and paid the price to buy our freedom from Satan, freedom for all the slaves. Then he reached out to each of us through his Word and created faith in our hearts to believe his promise of freedom. We praise him for his amazing love!

LANSING (WWJ) – Lt. Gov. Brian Calley has signed legislation designed to keep pets out of the hands of potential abusers.
HBs 4353 and 4355, sponsored by state Reps. Harvey Santana and Paul Muxlow respectively, give animal shelters the opportunity to check the criminal background of a potential adopter using the Internet Criminal History Access Tool (ICHAT) in order to determine whether someone has a criminal history of animal abuse.
Earlier versions of the bills included an animal abuse registry and would have required a criminal background check — but some changes were made in the Legislature's lame duck session.
Muxlow has said it's time for Michigan to take a strong stance against crimes related to animal abuse, neglect and cruelty, and that this new law is a step in the right direction.
"It's a compromise; it's not exactly what I'd like to have," Muxlow said after the bills passed the State House last week. "But I'm pretty excited…a couple million people who've been waiting for something."
The bills, now PAs 392 and 393, also establish a regulatory program for large-scale dog breeder kennels.
Calley signed several pieces of legislation on Wednesday while Gov. Rick Snyder is vacationing out of state. One bill will allow the sale of drugs like Narcan that reverse an overdose without a prescription, and another will prohibit Michigan communities from regulating plastic shopping bags.

Once one of the more promising safeties on the Panthers roster has been officially let go.
Carolina has reached an injury settlement with former undrafted free agent safety Dean Marlowe, releasing him from injured reserve in the process.
Marlowe impressed Carolina's coaching staff from the get-go since signing in 2015, but injuries hampered his development and he never got a true shot to stay on the field. The two-time All-CAA performer with James Madison played in five games with the Panthers, but missed the majority of last season with a torn hamstring before suffering another severe hamstring injury this preseason, landing him on injured reserve.
With the release of Marlowe – once the team's projected backup strong safety behind Mike Adams – Carolina's safety depth is now even thinner. Free agent signees LJ McCray and Dezmen Southward are battling for the top spot behind Adams, but the Panthers could elect to sign another player with more experience following roster cuts later this preseason.

Bette Davis once said that getting old was not for sissies. She couldn't have been more on the money.
Like most people, I never really understood or believed that I'd actually reach the same place as my mother was many years ago (not that I would want the alternative, which is not to be here at all). When she'd try to tell me about getting older, I dismissed her by saying, "Oh, you have plenty of time." She'd counter with, "You'll see." Well, she was right. As my mother's body began to betray her by becoming frail, her humor would continue to sustain her. She'd remind me that she had "the furniture disease." When I asked her what that was, she quipped, "That's when your chest falls into your drawers."
Well, much of what she said is true: our minds and bodies change, and life becomes more of a challenge. The good news about aging in the 21st century is that many gains have been made in the area of health and quality of life. I love the fact that we have more options. What drives me crazy is the silly euphemisms that the culture continues to foster on the aging public. The whole concept of anti-aging is counterproductive. If you don't age, you die! There are more products on the market today that are supposed to tighten, remove, erase, reduce, and reconstruct than ever before. In essence, our youth-crazed society wants you to look more like your grandchildren than like a grandmother. We cannot erase aging, but we can embrace it.
Creating a template that fosters a healthy mind, body and spirit will definitely enhance how we feel and look. That is the foundation that can support cosmetic possibilities. Filling wrinkles with Restylene or Botox and getting facelifts will not help a body devoid of healthy nutrients or a withered soul. However, obsessing about every morsel of food or becoming so invested in spending hours meditating and doing yoga poses is also not going to guarantee a long life. Red Fox, the comedian, said something I'll always remember: "Health nuts are going to feel stupid some day, lying in the hospital dying of nothing."
The bottom line is that none of us is going to get out of here alive! I realize that much of what I'm saying is like "preaching to the choir." Most of us are aware that exercise and healthy eating habits are essential to well-being and the ability to age well. What many of us don't realize is how important it is to manage our stress levels. The latest, greatest research in the field of genetics has discovered that stress hormones not only can change gene expression for the worse, but they can also affect every tissue and organ in the body. How we manage stress helps breed resiliency, which is one of the quintessential benchmarks for aging well. There are many ways to reduce stress, but one that I espouse seems to be one that is not well recognized. I recommend "fun" to all my clients as one of the greatest anecdotes to stress, and the key to the ability to live a long, juicy life. When we stop looking for fun and "become the fun we're seeking," our mind, body and spirit relax and step into a "flow" mode. Is this easier said than done? Probably, since our culture only values fun as an end point to when the work is done.
When we take ourselves less seriously and begin to realize that "we're not here for a long time, but we are here for a good time" we tend to stop "catastrophizing" and "awfulizing." There is plenty of research now that shows that humor, fun and a sense of playfulness actually can expand capillary function and help elicit endorphins. Yet few, if any, physicians ask their patients if they are having fun, laughing daily or creating goals for a life that is geared toward feeling joyful and passionate.
As I have aged, I have learned some very important lessons, one of which is that I must discover how to navigate my life so that I do not fall into old patterns of being a martyr, perfectionist or waiting for someone to rescue me. I realize that "no one is coming." I'm in charge until I don't know any better. This allows me to let go of old baggage, not be part of global whining groups or buy into guilt of "the gift that keeps on giving." Join me in aging well by:
- making each day feel like a new beginning
- reinventing yourself on some level so that you don't become your own "Groundhog Day"
- spend time in community with others
- become more involved in the pursuit of altruism
- find the bless in the mess
- laugh as often as possible
- keep a positive outlook: "if you think the worst and get the worst, you suffer twice; if you think the best and get the worst, you only suffer once."

Debate over HB1362, which authorized North Dakota's participation in the Medicaid expansion plan that would cover anyone who can't afford to buy health insurance, consisted of well-researched, well reasoned medical and insurance professionals asking the state to go ahead and do it. Only one person testified against it. No one really important, just the House Majority Leader.
Trotting out "the national debt" as a reason not to care about people who are both sick and poor, it's offensive. Especially when North Dakota is rolling in it so much we can't figure out where to spend it all.

Newcomer Connie, a babe from Budapest, has her first skin flute session with Totti, while Thomas Stone tries his hand as the video man. Thomas has been a long time porn star here at DDF, so you guessed right if you realized he probably couldn't keep his mitts off the new talent for long. Connie gets to deep throating Totti immediately, showing off her skills with mucho finesse! Then Mr. Stone goes, "Screw this!" and jumps in on the action! Connie then hops off the bed and toots into both guys blow-horns, lubing them up with her spit before dropping to her knees and playing her back and forth erotic symphony. Her perky boobies bounce with each deep thrust into her wanting mouth and hungrily takes as much beef down her hatch as she can without completely gagging herself. Totti treats her to some pussy licking while she gobbles both cocks at the same time. The orchestra continues and soon the guys are ready to spray. Connie soaks up every drop of their candy rain and rubs it all over her body. Dirty, dirty girl. Yeah, you can bet you'll see more of Connie!

Thomas Holzer is a German race driver, photographer and entrepreneur.
If Thomas does something, then always with passion. And risk appetite.
Thomas was born into the racing tradition of his family. The Holzer story began in 1979 in rallying: Günther and Ronald Holzer – father and uncle of Thomas – competed as drivers in the Opel Kadett Cup. They laid the foundations for the HOLZER Firmengruppe.
As part of this entrepreneurial family, it is natural for Thomas to stay calm in difficult situations. And to take responsibility as an entrepreneur.
However in photography Thomas only trusts his intuition. Although he has very high demands on professionalism, when he is taking a picture, he does not mind the theory. Have a look!

All posts in Garage Door Opening Repair
Making Coming Home A Peaceful Experience Again
During the month of February the focus in on love. It's a time for everyone to reflect on what they love most in life. The affection is usually shown to your Valentine and family members. It can also be a time to reflect on what you love the most. Your home may fall into the category of what you love the most. It really is your home sweet home!
Have you lost the loving feeling toward your home lately due to cracks or repairs that need to be fixed? If you witness a crack or collapse of your garage door opening, pulling into your driveway it can be a very stressful experience each day. When you come home you want to experience peace, but all you can focus on is that potentially dangerous crack above the place where you're about to park your car for the night. Read More ⇒
Ignoring Warning Signs Could Equal Huge Financial Burdens
There are many times in life when we all want to ignore the obvious. Perhaps issues seem small as when you bump your knee on the corner of a table and your leg is sore for longer than expected. Or, perhaps you have noticed that the gums inside your mouth are more tender than they used to be. It is easy to ignore seemingly small issues regarding health or oral concerns, but what about concerns related to your home or business property?
Ignoring warning signs of any sort when it comes to the structural integrity of your home can always lead to huge financial burdens in the long run. It is important to be familiar with concerns regarding the structural integrity of your home or business property so that you will be able to identify concerns when and if they should arise. Below are common issues that should never be ignored:
- A leaky roof. While broken or missing shingles typically causes a leaky roof, ignoring this problem can lead to structural damage within the roof of your home. Structural damage in the attic that rots decking beams, and joints can cause your house to literally fall down upon you.
- Basement cracks. When you can see cracks in your basement there is a problem, but when water is seeing through these cracks, you have a serious issue that needs attention Yesterday. Poor drainage that allows water to pool around your house will cause the concrete walls of your basement to buckle and settle, compromising the integrity of your entire home.
- Garage damage. Damage to a garage may seem like it is not a big deal because it is not inside the home's structure, but this is not true. Because a garage is attached to your home, it will compromise your home. Of course, if you have a freestanding garage, it has its own structural concerns. Very costly damage can occur to your expensive vehicles and to your home by ignoring any concerns with your garage.
- Chimney leaning or cracking. A chimney that is leaning or cracked can kill people or pets and can damage your home or any home that is in close proximity.
- Stair-stair cracks in brick. Cracks in the brick that follow a stair-step pattern indicate that structural concerns at dire. It is important to have these cracks looked at immediately.
- Cracks in walls or around windows/doors. Cracks that are seen inside a home along the walls, ceilings or around windows or doors indicate that there has been a significant amount of settling in a home. This amount of settling typically indicates that the structure of a home is unstable.

How's Your Garage Holding Up?
You open your garage door, pull your vehicle inside, close the garage door, and think nothing of it until you need to open the door again. However, it is important that you take the time to regularly inspect the foundation of your garage to determine how it is holding up. Most garages are built upon concrete slab foundations, and are, therefore, inclined to crack and settle. Special attention should be given to the status of your garage's foundation as it is attached to your home and any issue that your garage may have can translate to problems inside the home. If you notice any signs of foundational damage of your garage (i.e. cracks in the walls, cracks in the floor, uneven floors, separation from the garage trim from the exterior of your home, or stair-step cracks in the exterior brick surrounding your garage door opening) it is time to call in the experts at Anglin's Foundation & Masonry Repair.
Georgia is known for its infamous "Georgia Red Clay" and how it is not the ideal soil for most things. This includes offering structural support to a slab foundation. A slab foundation relies on the soil beneath it to offer support and to absorb tension as the moisture content will fluctuate again and again. Many times homeowners find that the reason behind their garage foundation issues is due to incompetency on the builder's part to ensure that the quality of the soil is optimal for building.
Anglin's Foundation & Masonry Repair has been helping homeowners and commercial property owners for more than 85 years correct problems with their foundations. Our experts have built our impeccable reputation by fixing the problem and preventing future issues from arising. As John Anglin says, "We fix it for life, the first time." Anglin's Foundation & Masonry Repair is dedicated to helping you find the solution you need in order to save your property. Call us today.

October 29, 2013 (CHICAGO) --Traveling internationally through Chicago's Midway Airport is about to get a little easier.
The airport is launching an automated passport control program, which is designed to move travelers more quickly through the U.S. border by entering their info at self-service kiosks.
The kiosks are expected to be installed early next year.
O'Hare Airport already uses the same technology, which contributed to a drop in wait times.
Chicago is the first city in the country to use the self-service passport kiosks technology.

Today Ouboet bought a new fishing rod and he took us along to the beach to try his hand at shad fishing in the surf. To reach the beach we have to walk downhill on a sandy road along the river bank before we reach the train tracks.
The tracks were laid along the coastline years ago and the train still passes our hillside apartment twice a day. I've never heard or seen the train before, as the dense growth of trees and the sound of the waves breaking on the shore normally mutes the clatter of the iron wheels on the tracks.
Today the train passed just as we were walking round the bend. I didn't see the it, because it was still hidden behind the trees, but I almost jumped out of my skin when the driver sounded the whistle. Sissy carried me safely across the tracks after the train passed.
After crossing the train tracks, we have to walk only a few yards along a footpath through dense bush around the furthest point of the lagoon and then the beach is right in front of us. We go there every day for our daily exercise, running in the loose sand and swimming, but today we were going fishing!
Ouboet put some bait on the line and I was scolded because I tried to eat it, almost hooking myself on the line. Not the smartest thing to do, I must admit, but the sardines looked so appetizing.
Unfortunately it was a windy afternoon and when it started raining, we had to return home without a catch. Ouboet says we will go back and try again when the weather turns.
I ❤ living so close to the beach and will be back soon to tell you a bit more of my adventures there.

Clemson University newest school to raise Allstate's "Good Hands®" Net
|2013-08-30 08:22:26.0-
NORTHBROOK, Ill. – August 29, 2013 – Clemson University is kicking off the 2013 college football season with a new addition to Memorial Stadium – the Allstate "Good Hands®" Field Goal Net program. Clemson is one of three new schools to partner with Allstate Insurance Company and participate in the ninth year of the "Good Hands®" Field Goal Net program, one of the most visible programs in college football.
This season, Tigers fans have another reason to cheer for the kicker, as each successful extra point and field goal at home games generates money for their school's general scholarship fund. During games at Memorial Stadium, starting with the matchup with University of Georgia on August 31, Allstate is donating $300 for each field goal and $100 for each extra point successfully converted by the Tigers.
"Allstate is thrilled to have Clemson as a partner in the 'Good Hands®' Nets program, an initiative we believe will have a positive impact both out on the football field and in the classroom," said Lisa Cochrane, senior vice president of marketing for Allstate. "We share the same passion that Clemson fans have for college football, and we will be cheering the Tigers on to many field goals and extra points this season."
Clemson, the University of Maryland and the University of Texas join 75 other colleges and universities at both the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision and Division I Football Championship Subdivision in the "Good Hands®" Field Goal Net program. Since 2005, Allstate has donated more than $3 million to partner schools' general scholarship funds.
The translucent netting that includes the "Good Hands®" logo has been placed in the east end zone at Memorial Stadium and will be raised during all field goal and extra point attempts. The "Good Hands®" logo represents the company's brand promise of "protection" and plays off its popular slogan, "You're in good hands with Allstate®."
Allstate and Clemson Athletics will host a special kick promotion at the Tigers' home game on Thursday, November 14, where one lucky fan will be selected by the school to kick a 25-yard field goal for $2,000, half of which will be donated to the Clemson general scholarship fund.
In addition to the Allstate "Good Hands®" Field Goal Net program, Allstate's expansive presence in college football includes its sponsorship of the Allstate® Sugar Bowl® and Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®.
The Allstate sponsorship at Clemson University was brokered by Learfield Sports, the school's multimedia rights partner.

SAN DIEGO, DAY 2: "Leave It to Chance" Returns in 2002
Now that James Robinson's schedule has a "Starman"-shaped hole in it, in the wake of concluding that series recently at DC Comics, have no worries that he'll be at loose ends with all his newly acquired free time: Image Comics publisher announced Friday at Comic-Con International in San Diego that Robinson would be returning to the series at Image next year.
The kid-friendly supernatural adventure series, which went on an indefinite hiatus several years ago shortly after acquisition of original publisher WildStorm by DC Comics, will return in a quarterly series in an over-sized format most familiar to American readers as the format classic European comics "Tintin" and "Asterix" are published in. (Adding to the international flavor of the new series is Valentino's hopes to have the series published in at least three versions around the world simultaneously.)
In addition to the new stories, which will reunite Robinson with original series artist Paul Smith, Image will be republishing the original volumes of the series, and will only begin publishing new stories once the original stories are concluded. (The original series ended on a cliffhanger, in fact, with young series heroine Chase Falconer being told that her father the occult investigator Lucas Falconer, had died.)
Valentino also told CBR News that he hopes to sign another critically acclaimed kid-friendly book to a similar deal this weekend.

Boosting a university's computing performance with an Intel-based hybrid cloud server
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is one of the world's fastest rising universities, ranked 39th globally and 1st among the world's best young universities. 3,800 teaching and research staff educate about 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate, local and international students.
Students and faculty members of its College of Science, Engineering and Earth Observatory department handle projects that often rely heavily on compute resources. The projects were getting increasingly intensive and required computing resources that were challenging for NTU to accommodate.
NTU needed improved computing resources to address the constant increase of large-scale research demands
With more students doing increasingly complex research, NTU needed to boost its compute capacity and provide improved performance. There was a need for a secure, open solution that allowed NTU to have computing resources with unlimited capacity and platform abstraction. This solution not only had to be able to handle the growing computer requirements of the faculty and students, it had to do so in the most cost efficient way possible.
Improving and maximizing current computing resources for unexpected loads
Staff and students worked on projects that required complex computation tasks, and the intensive processes created a spike in compute demands that were putting a strain on NTU's resources. Instead of purchasing new resources to keep up with the research-heavy workload, NTU needed a cost-effective way to improve its current existing ones. This solution also needed to be flexible and scalable, enabling it to accommodate these demands as and when they occurred.
Creating a means for remote disaster recovery
Because of all the research-intensive projects, NTU needed an infrastructure that allowed users to set up remote disaster recovery to prevent data loss in case of any disruptions. This infrastructure needed to be affordable, yet had performance and latency close to physical machines.
An Intel-based flexible hybrid cloud solution as a powerful answer
NTU worked with Red Hat, a software company providing open-source software products, to create a scalable, open-source hybrid cloud to tackle this multi-faceted challenge.The stability and high performance of this cloud gave it the power to cope with the increase in compute demands, while its quick scalability made it agile and dynamic enough for a rapid response to sudden surges in resource needs1.
Utilizing this solution allowed us to showcase ingenuity that can positively impact day-to-day research initiatives globally.
Components of NTU's Intel®-powered hybrid cloud
Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure*
Lets users build and manage an open, private cloud. It comprises of Red Hat Enterprise for traditional scale-up workloads, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Open-Stack Platform for scale-out workloads, and Red Hat CloudForms for unified management across the technologies.
Amazon Web Services (AWS)*
A virtual cloud platform that allows flexible, scalable servers that can be called upon to accommodate large workloads. It provides users with complete control of their computing resources and lets them run on Amazon's proven computing environment.
NetApp SnapMirror*
Enables NTU to replicate volumes from its private NetApp storage to another NetApp storage linked to AWS via AWS Direct Connect. Not only does this allow data to be transferred at high speed, it provides data recovery so users can back up their research and data in case of emergencies.
Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4650L
The Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4650L is an agile, efficient, high performance 8-core, 16-thread processor that is used predominantly on both the NTU and AWS clouds. As a result, communication between the technologies is virtually seamless.
Intel® based hybrid clouds: helping NTU meet the compute needs of its students and faculty
Because of this multi-pronged, yet integrated approach, NTU created an innovative hybrid cloud solution model that maximized seamless flexibility between private & public clouds. This provides elastic computing while maintaining lower overhead costs. Not only did this Intel-based solution enable NTU to have processing power on demand, it also acted as a model that can be adopted by and tailored for other institutions.
If you want to set up a hybrid cloud for your organization:

- Visiting Intel's Business Success Stories for IT Managers
