- Moira Innes in 27
'Being in Faust directed by Mark Thomson was one of the most exciting times in my career. It was a big risk for Mark to take. Thankfully it paid off and people still talk to me about how much they were invigorated by it. I loved Anna Karenina directed by Muriel Romanes. It was one of those shows that I just wish I could see one more time. Such a beautiful production.'

Allows access to Sony Store, which has free ebooks.
Does not allow editing of ebooks or their metadata, requires authorization of the Reader, horrendous tech support, insists on starting when Reader is connected and syncing... generally useless and annoying.
The program is very limiting. In fact, it seems more meant to make you move as Sony wants you to than anything else.
The program can only be used for viewing files, adding/removing them from the Reader and using the Sony Store. It does not allow any type of editing, so if it's swapped the author and title on a file there's nothing you can do. It opens automatically when you connect the Reader. I couldn't get it _not_ to, in fact. It is very sync-happy, which can cause untold grief in keeping track of just what it's doing.
The Sony Store is the only draw of this program, but it's just not worth it.
1: The Sony Store requires an account and the 'authorization' of your Reader. Doing this means it will work _only_ with that account. Connecting the reader to another account causes any books you bought with the first to lock up, rendering them useless. This is true even of the free downloads.
2: Downloads are notoriously unreliable. I only bought one book and attempted to download some others that were free. Not a single one worked. The download wouldn't even start. Rather, it downloaded a link that was meant to lead to a download of the actual file (presumably) but got stuck and couldn't advance.
If you use it only for access to the considerable free ebook library, it may be worth a shot. But I wouldn't recommend spending any money on it: I couldn't get a download or refund on the book I paid for. Tech support was extremely unhelpful. They were either determined that all fault lay with me, or seemingly inept. I was transfered more times than I can count and wasted the better part of a day trying to get them to give me my download.
The Sony Reader works just as well (or better!) with other programs like Calibre. I recommend staying the HELL away from the Sony Library; it's more trouble than it's worth. (Not that that's a high bar to reach.)

The Sony reader is an excellent piece of hardware.
The library software is useless.
Support is nonexistent.
Reader software provides very few options, is not intuitive, and runs at a snail's pace. Content is hidden (perhaps this is to protect it from me.)
I have books that had downloaded in the past. where are the files? who knows? I can't get access, and can only find two of them.
Try to download a new book. wait....wait....check status..."failed" WHY? HOW? WHAT NEXT?
Support is only available from the bookstore, and that's not really support - just a predetermined FAQ. "How was this response?" It cannot be a response without my having asked a question!
So I have a very nice piece of hardware that is a nice paperweight.
...Bought my mother a kindle for Mother's Day.

NONE - the software is a disaster
Locks up, doesn't provide logical interface, slow, user unfriendly, need I say more???
I have never used a more horrible piece of software. I bought the Sony Reader 600 for my elderly mother who was sick and in the hospital. I purchased the Sony Reader because it was available at a local store, and I set up the library on my laptop. I wish I had waited one day for a Kindle to arrive instead. The Reader is a wonderful device, but the library is a nightmare. I've already logged about 5 hours on the phone with their foreign tech support trying to troubleshoot issues. In one case, the library software allowed me to purchase books without having first "logged in". The concept of logging in is strange because the software greeted me with a welcome using my first name and didn't object when I purchased 5 books. The act of loading them onto the device caused the account to be locked out and my mom was left stranded in the hospital with no reading material! How hard is it to require that the user log in before purchasing a book? It allowed me to purchase 5 books without logging in and then locked the account so that I couldn't use it after the 6th purchase. It even put a lock on the books already in the Reader!!! What kind of security is that?
So now that mom is home from the hospital, I tried to load the library software on her desktop so that she can manage her own book purchases. Should be simple, right? Just download the software, install it, connect the existing account and authorize the new computer. Yeah . . . it still isn't working on her desktop. We have to use the laptop. Tech support had me do a soft reset of the device which caused the battery to completely discharge and the device was not usable until doing another soft after charging it overnight. Then while I was buying books and loading them onto the Reader, apparently the user isn't supposed to connect the device while purchasing the books. The download stalled, and now I'm unable to find a button or link that would allow me to download the books that I've purchased.
I would NEVER buy a Sony Reader again until they get the software right. It's a shame because the device is easy to use, and my mom loves it. She would never be able to figure out the issues that I've dealt with so far. I'm sure she would have returned the Reader to the store if she had to mess with the library herself.
Shame on you, Sony!!!
Reply by brandaojm on September 22, 2010
I wish I would have read this before I purchased mine yesterday! I have already had to uninstall it and reinstall it because it keeps saying it's syncing, but it's actually frozen. Thought Sony could do better then this!!

I am incredibly disappointed with Sony! The device is nice, but the software is absolutely useless and now they've upgraded the device and lowered the price and it appears that I'm stuck with the old device because they don't seem eager to satisfy me as a disappointed customer! I feel like I've been swindled for being loyal to what used to be a great brand!

Ummm...cant think of any. Seems like Amazon and Barnes and Noble are way ahead in the tech game here.
runs slowly, books too expensive, slow to connect to Reader, doesn't allow download
I really don't like the Sony eBook Library and regret my Sony Touch Reader purchase because of it. The library is slow to recognize connection to my Reader. I find the books overpriced. Why pay $10.50 for one "book" when I can have a physical copy in my hand purchased used for 1 cent (plus shipping) on Amazon.com. Tonight I tried purchasing a book on Sony eBook Library only to be told I had no internet connection (obviously I do). I gave up after three or four attempts. I sure wish I had waited a bit longer. The new Barnes and Noble Nook sure looks more appealing.

There are no pros about this software as far as I can tell.
Released too early without adequate testing. Crashes when Sony Reader connected, does not allow new Sony Reader Touch PRS-600 to be authorised so preventing eBooks purchased from eBook store being transferred to reader.

Town hall 8 best base | Best Ever Farming Bases
In the clash of clans, the ultimate goal is to upgrade all things off the base. That process of up gradation requires loot. By increasing trophies, the player can get more loot bonus through attacks. So, it required to safe trophies if anyone attacks on our base. I am going to show you the ways to save your trophies by using different strategies of bases. So, o
TH8 Home Base 1
In that base, the town hall is almost in the center to save 1 star. So, Townhall is prevented by three hidden Tesla. Therefore, three air defense to prevent dragon attack. Most resources are placed inside the walls to keep minimum destruction.
TH8 Home Base 2
Again the town hall is in the center. Hence, pretty good one to prevent from the dragon attack. In the center layer of walls Castle is placed. Donation cannot come out from the castle before time. This layer is also protected by archer queen. outside is covered by giant bombs and hidden Tesla which can improve army damage during army tried to enter near town hall to get more stars for trophies. Gold and elixir storage are placed near Tesla and air defense because storages have more hit point and take more time to destroy. So, in that time air defenses and Tesla can damage more army. So, archer towers and cannons are present in the outer most layer of walls so that outer things may become secure to save trophies.
TH8 Home Base 3
In that base town hall is present in the center of the clan so that 1 star can be secured during the attack. Air defenses are present around the town hall to target air troops coming towards the town hall. Again stores are present around the town hall layer. So, collectors are placed near the outer layer of walls so that cannons and archer towers can easily target the troops coming towards these collectors. Springs are present near starting walls. I can be the best base against air attacks like dragon, balloon and minion attack.
TH8 Home Base 4
That base of the clan is almost sequential like in a properly centered shape. So, Townhall is placed in the center of that clan. clan castle is present near the town hall. Air defense and storages are present in the same layer of walls. king is also placed near the town hall to save 1 star. All defense and other things are placed nearer. Therefore, the hat is because it is targeted by multiple defense items and can cause more damage to the army.
TH8 Home Base 5
I think that base is almost best base in town hall 8 to save stars from the air and specially ground attack. So, townhall is placed in the center of the clan. It is protected by hidden Tesla. Most of the thing is placed inside walls because when the army comes for loot. So, it tries to take almost 1 star to gain trophies. so it is the best to approach to place more things inside the walls.

Yet another very busy week. As I mentioned in an earlier posting, I met with my cardiologist on Wednesday to go over the results of a series of test I took last month to check out the extra "blip" in my heartbeat. He said I was in good health for a man "my age". So for a 70 year old I'm hanging in there. He did say the "bottom portion" of my heart was beating at a slower rate but I should be all that concerned about that because that was "normal" for a man "my age." However, he did say that if I wanted to "really be sure" he could schedule a catheterization for me (up through my groin yet). No thank you doctor.
Friday I made another visit to my dermatologist (these visits are getting to be routine now) to have a small growth removed from my left forearm. One stitch later and the offending growth is on it's way to the lab for analysis.
|Where my father grew up - NOT the Beverly Hillbillies - this was the real thing
This was the week Bill and had planned our road trip south. We were going to visit my ancestral grounds in the mountains of western North Carolina, hillbilly country where my father was born and grew up until he was ten years old at which time his father (my grandfather) scooped up his nine sons (no daughters) and wife (my grandmother) and moved to southeastern Pennsylvania to live and work on his brother-in-law's farm as tenant workers. Two more sons (my uncles) were born in Pennsylvania making a total of eleven Tipton boys to pick those fruits and vegetables on their Uncle Don Byrd's farm. My father met my Mother on a double date in 1940. They were married shortly thereafter (mom was only 16 years old). I appeared one year later and the rest is history or as I tell my southern Tipton relatives, "that's why I have a Yankee accent."
|Me in those North Carolina hillbilly mountains this past spring - cemetery hunting
So where was I? Yes, we were going to road trip south. I even had the Dodge Caravan rented at Enterprise Rental in Rehoboth. We checked the weather and decided not to go after seeing a forecast of possible showers at least half of next week. Instead we took a road trip to Pennsylvania today to Union Hill Cemetery, where my said hillbilly grandfather and grandmother are buried with his brother-in-law Don Byrd. I had some Find a Grave photo requests that I wanted to full fill. On our trip down south I was going to cemetery hunt anyway. On this trip I was going to visit my great-great grandfather John Tipton's grave. He was killed by a Confederate ambush while he and his brother-in-law Curtis Bailey were recruiting for the Union forces in them thar mountains back in 1863. I never thought I would find where he was buried but I discovered the located a few months ago quite my accident through Ancestry.com. My visit to my Civil War hero ancestor will have to wait until spring. Spring is a good time to visit those beautiful mountains.
|Confederate Colonel Vincent Addison Wichter - the man who ambushed and killed my great-great grandfather John Tipton in 1863
Bill and I had a good trip to Pennsylvania. You know we used to live there. We didn't visit the old homestead this time though, just the cemetery. Today was a beautiful, sunny, brisk fall day for soaking up the history and peacefulness of a cemetery. One of my absolute favorite past times. I was talking to Dr. Spo yesterday on FaceTime and he was quite puzzled as to what the fascination is with Find a Grave and taking volunteer pictures. He asked "Do you get paid for taking the photos?" I said "No." He said "Then why would you do it?" Ah, Dr. Spo, it is hard to explain. All I can say is some people like the opera (not I) and some people like to roam cemeteries.
I'm off of work next week which I am greatly looking forward to. Even though I only work two days a week, it is nice to have a WHOLE WEEK off. No phones calls about towel shortage, or questions about where is the best place to eat in Lewes, or "where can I park?" Thank goodness the phone calls asking "Do you have a pool" stopped. I think that question ended when the kiddies went back to school, thank God.
Hey! Did you all see the VP debate this week? I loved Joe Biden! He wiped the floor with Paul "Lying" Ryan. Who cares is Joe laughed? He was LAUGHING at the ridiculousness of Paul Ryan's lies. He wasn't going to let Lying Ryan get away with anything. Go Joe!
|"You're not getting away with ANYTHING tonight Lying Ryan." Joe's got your number.
Now this week we get back to Barack "Barry" Obama. Somehow I can't see Barry getting into Mittsy's face. Oh how I would love to see him call that phony out once and for all but I just don't think Obama has it in him. But we'll see won't we?
This evening I was going through my old letters. I didn't realize how valuable they were until a few months ago. Now hardly anyone writes letters. I'm looking at these letters and they tell my life history. I'm thinking about publishing all my letter in a separate blog. If any of you want to see that blog e-mail me directly. Everyone reads this blog, including some of my co-workers and I DON'T want them reading about some of the more salacious details of my younger days. However, I don't mind if some of my gay (and straight) friends read them. After all, I won't be on this planet much longer and it would be a shame if all that history (mine) was lost forever because I am quite sure when I am dead and gone someone will throw out all my saved letters. No one in my family will be interested in them once I'm gone, especially since I'm gay and many of them would probably feel more comfortable if "Uncle Ronnie" and his "lifestyle" disappeared along with his demise. Not trying to be maudlin folks, just realistic.

By Professor Merryn Hutchings, Institute for Policy Studies in Education, London Metropolitan University
The GCSE results published this week (i) show that in 2012, London was the best performing region for the fourth successive year, by a wide range of measures. This is despite serving some of the most deprived areas in the country; 35% of secondary pupils in Inner London are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) compared with just 13% outside London (ii). Analysis suggests that the London Challenge initiative has been key to this success.
The results for national tests at Key Stage 2 published in December (iii) showed a similar picture at primary school level. The progress made in Inner London, in particular, has been remarkable. In 2006 it was the worst performing region at both primary and secondary levels, and it is now one of the best-performing.
A number of possible explanations have been put forward for this:
The evidence that the London Challenge was a successful approach to school improvement is overwhelming. It was also comparatively cheap; over three years the funding for City Challenge was £160 million, considerably cheaper than the £8.5 billion reportedly spent on the academies programme over two years.
Many of the lessons of the London Challenge have been taken on board, most notably in the increase in schools working with or supporting other schools. What is lacking is any way of ensuring that the schools that need most support and encouragement will receive it.
This is the key aspect of City Challenge that is missing from the current marketised approach to school improvement.

Can't see my SSD in Clover Bootloader
Rocketval posted a topic in OSx86 10.12 (Sierra)Hi everyone! My pc specs are these: Dell Optiplex 3010 SFF mobo: Dell 042P49 cpu: i3-3240 gpu: hd2500 (will be added a new gt710 next week) USB created with HackintoshZone restoreSierra from my macbook pro. So, I've installed from usb after setting up (I hope correctly) the bios (legacy, uefi doesn't work properly I think) and, even if I've restarted after waiting so long when it said "less than a minute remaining", I can boot just fine into Sierra in my SSD ("Hackintosh") selecting, when I start/restart the pc, boot from Hackintosh. Everything works fine except graphics (I know hd2500 is not supported so I just bought an used gt710 that will arrive next week), audio (it worked 2 times after setting with clover configurator, then it stopped) and ethernet (I think it's faulty, anyway I've a wifi dongle that works fine). BUT if the usb created with restoreSierra.pkg is not connected I can see Clover bootloader but I can't see my SSD "Hackintosh" which is the drive Sierra is installed in. I'm pretty sure something in post installation (Clover configurator -> Boot secton) is missing, these are the steps I made after the automatic initial setup: Mount EFI partition of SSD (since is not mounted by default) Install Clover EFI in order to install Clover Legacy. Copy EFI folder from HZ usb Delete EFI folder from EFI partition of SSD Paste EFI folder from HZ to EFI partition of SSD When I restart the pc w/o usb plugged I can't see the SSD, the space over the rounded icons is empty except from BOOT from EFI (and if select it it reload the same thing). I hope someone could help me, this is my first step in hackintosh world Have a nice day

Last night's announcement from the Fed that it would not change the pace of "money creation" was a complete surprise. While good for markets, certainly in the short-term at least, we caution against excessive optimism until the reasons behind the decision are fully clear, not least because markets like certainty – something that is clearly now absent in relation to future US monetary policy.
For many years now, the US Federal Reserve has gone a long way out of its way to carefully manage expectations of its actions. Except in times of emergencies such as the failure of Lehmans, all its major policy moves were signposted well in advance. Typically the Fed Chairman would give a speech or press conference outlining that a change in policy was being considered. Then the minutes of the following Fed meeting would show that the committee had discussed the change in great detail, with a very strong hint that the change would be put in place at the next meeting. Finally, the change would be implemented at that subsequent meeting. It was predictable, transparent, and ensured that markets had plenty of time to digest significant policy changes and to understand why they were being made.
So when last May/June the Fed began to talk about "tapering" its monthly injections of liquidity, it set out on what seemed to be a very clear path towards actually beginning that tapering at its September meeting. At no stage in the last several months, as the markets became completely convinced that that tapering would start in September, was there any effort by the Fed to tell the market that it was wrong to expect that.
So it was a genuine shock when the Fed last night announced that it would not begin tapering this month, and might not begin next month either. In a huge reversal of long-standing policy, it basically said, "never mind what we've told you to expect for several months, we've changed our mind." The immediate market reaction has been very positive – the $85bn per month of "money creation" from the Fed will continue, instead of gradually reducing. That, at its most simple, means more money washing around the global financial system, and thus higher asset prices, all other things being equal. Emerging markets in particular may gain from this impact, as they were clearly the worst affected in May and June when the Fed began to signal that it would start to taper.
However, nothing in the financial markets is entirely straightforward, and we would warn against excessive or simplistic optimism, for the reasons below:
• The Fed changed its mind about tightening policy because of "the tightening of financial conditions observed in recent months which if sustained could slow the pace of improvement in the economy." But that is a reasonably weak reason for such a significant change of mind. Does the Fed know something that we don't? Might it conceivably be aware of a difficulty in some part of the US banking system, for example, that the markets are unaware of? That seems very unlikely but can't be entirely ruled out. Alternatively, is it aware of weakness (current or future) in the US economy that the markets are overlooking? There are hundreds of economists working for the Fed around the US – if they are worried about the economic outlook, maybe we should be as well?
• "Markets hate uncertainty." And one thing that has definitely risen today, relative to yesterday, is uncertainty. Before the Fed's announcement we knew, or thought we knew, that the Fed was embarking on a straightforward, gradual "glide path" towards ending its monthly liquidity creation. Yesterday we thought we knew why the Fed was doing that, when it was going to start and finish, and indeed what would happen after the process finished and what would have to happen before the Fed started to raise interest rates. Today, we don't know any of those things, and that increases risk and uncertainty in the markets.
• If the US economy continues grow at a relatively strong pace, there is a genuine risk that the markets will see the Fed as being "behind the curve" in terms of preventing inflation in the future. The bond markets, in particular, worry about future inflation. If the Fed is still creating vast amounts of liquidity while growth is quite strong, bond investors may think that they are risking a substantial build up of inflationary pressures in the economy that would be very damaging to bonds. So – in this scenario – bond markets could sell off quite sharply.
We believe that over the next few weeks the full reasons behind the Fed's surprising, even amazing, change of policy will become clearer. Until we know more, our welcome to this change of policy is somewhat guarded. Our multi-asset portfolios are generally positioned to benefit from the Fed's announcement and will benefit from the gains in the market following the announcement last night, but we do not propose at this stage to make significant changes to our allocations until the uncertainty reduces.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading where each week we grab the book that we're currently reading, let it fall open at a random page and share two sentences from that page.
This week, my teaser comes from Ian Fleming's Live and Let Die (you're singing the theme song in your head, I know you are):
The girl had not put up much of a struggle.
When Leiter and Bond, leaving the manageress gaping on the lawn, raced down to the end cottage, they found her room untouched and the bedclothes barely rumpled.
I'm currently reading along to the audio book version, which in my opinion is hilarious. I'm not feeling so confident about this because I'm having difficulty keeping my eyes on the page (the audio book really helps).

What is Nifty@MRP?
As investors, we are used to seeing the Nifty move every minute. And to make investing more profitable and not a game of mere chance we need a solution. A solution which could help us ascertain whether the market is over-reacting or under-reacting, whether it is grossly depressed or irrationally exuberant. This is exactly what Nifty@MRP is!
Considering that the Nifty stocks are the top traded stocks of the country, we can expect them to be traded at their MRPs. In reality, the stocks are driven by their earnings over the long terms. Hence, it is said that market is a slave of the corporate earnings. Thus, Nifty@MRP gives an indication of whether the Nifty is fairly valued or whether irrationality is driving the markets
Check our earlier reports on Nifty@MRP to learn more about this unique concept.
What is the latest Nifty@MRP value?
Considering the free float market capitalization at the MRP of individual stocks and considering the share price data as of 26th June, the Nifty@MRP comes out to 5913.20. On 26th June 2012, NSE Nifty index closed at 5146.60, which is 12.96% or 767 points below the Nifty@MRP of 5913.20. It indicates that the index is undervalued and provides investing opportunities for investors.
With similar calculation, the Sensex@MRP comes out to 19885. On 26th June 2012, the Sensex closed at 16906.58, which is 14.98% or 2979 points below the Sensex@MRP of 19885.
Analysis of FY-2012 financial performance of Sensex companies
Net sales & net profit analysis: The cumulative net sales of the Nifty index have gone up by ~25% while the cumulative net profits have increased by ~11% for FY-12 as compared to FY-11. Despite economic slowdown, some of the Nifty companies have posted decent results in FY-12. The highly capital intensive sectors such as Telecom, Power, Steel underperformed in the index while low capital intensive and defensive sectors such as IT, FMCG, Pharma outperformed. Infosys, Sun Pharma, Dr. Reddys Lab, SBI and ONGC outperformed with respect to the financial performance while IOCL, BPCL, Jaiprakash Associates Ltd., Siemens Ltd., Bharti Airtel, Hindalco, Tata Power and Tata Steel were the underperformers. As far as valuations are concerned, out of the 50 Nifty companies, around 39 companies are trading below their MRP (Under-valued) while only 11 companies are trading above their MRP (Over-valued).
Future Outlook:
On the global front, fears of an imminent Greek exit from European Union eased on 18th June, 2012 after the New Democracy party won the elections and pro-bailout parties won enough seats to form a joint government. But, the problem isn't confined to Greece and is spreading to other parts of Europe. For example Spain requested up to 100 billion euros ($125 billion) of European funds to recapitalise its weakest banks which prompted credit rating agency Moody's to downgrade credit ratings of many Spanish banks. As long as such problems persist, it would remain a concern for the global market.
On the domestic front, India's economic growth slumped to its lowest level (March-2012 GDP growth at 5.3%) in nine years and India's industrial output (IIP) rose only 0.1% in April, far lower than the expectation of 1.7% according to a Reuter's poll. This extremely weak domestic economic situation has been caused by high inflation & interest rates, lack of much needed reforms and policy paralysis. Further, the RBI has shown no signs of easing interest rates and maintained them at the same level in its monetary policy review on 18th June, 2012 pointing to the inflation which still remains above its comfortable level of ~6-6.5%. With these concerns, India is also at risk of losing its investment grade status from Standard & Poor's.
Going ahead concerns from the Euro zone are expected to play spoilsport for the global markets. On the back of weak growth in India's GDP and IIP, we have now seen Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assume the additional responsibility of the finance ministry. Whether, he has the ability and the will to instigate reforms to revive the economy in the near future, remains to be seen.
Going ahead, inflationary pressures are expected to ease owing to softening commodity prices, especially crude oil. Over all, we expect that majority of the Nifty companies will post good financial performance in FY13 backed by the improvement expected on the macro-economic front in India. However, Global and Indian stock markets may remain volatile till the global economy stabilses especially the European markets. Any rate cuts by RBI will also cheer the Indian market. Normal monsoons will also have a bearing on the course of the market going ahead.
Looking at the numbers, Nifty is quoting at ~13% discount to Nifty@MRP. We expect Nifty to be volatile in the short term but the long term prospects seem to be good. A significant fall in stock market provides good investment opportunities for long term investors. Such an opportunity also existed during economic slowdown in 2008. Currently, there are few fundamentally sound companies which are available at a hefty discount from their MRP with limited downside risk. Hence, you, as investors, should remain cautious in in this volatile market while at the same time keeping an eye on such bargain buys. Investors would be best advised to
"Look for bargain buys especially amongst the Nifty 50 stocks"

Meniere's Disease – Debilitating Vertigo and Dizziness
Chiropractic Provides Relief from Vertigo, Dizziness and Tinnitus.
They say Meniere's Disease is to dizziness what a Migraine is to a headache. It has the potential to be far more intense and life interrupting, with sufferers dealing with vertigo, tinnitus, in-ear pressure and even hearing loss [1]. This has the potential to greatly impact the way they carry out day-to-day tasks during episodes.
What has chiropractic to do with an inner ear problem? A recent research report has looked at one specific cause: an upper cervical subluxation complex as a result of whiplash trauma.
The paper, published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research, looked at 300 patients over the course of 6 years. All patients were managed using a cervical specific protocol, with the same set of objective measurements used to establish the existence of the subluxation in all 300 cases [2].
Interestingly, all 300 consecutive patients under the researcher's care were medically diagnosed with Meniere's Disease (MD) and had also suffered a whiplash. This lead researcher Dr Michael Burcon, a leading voice on the topic of chiropractic and MD [3], to comment that the connection was unlikely to be coincidental [2].
"Furthermore," he remarked, "ninety per cent having a listing of posterior and inferior towards the opposite side of the effected ear is significant, as is ninety seven per cent getting their vertigo under control within six weeks [2]."
At the beginning of the process, participants in the study rated their vertigo intensity on a scale of 1 – 10, with 10 being the worse vertigo imaginable. Prior to treatment, the mean score was 8.5. Following the treatment, the averages were as follows:
- After six weeks, 3.0
- After one year, 2.0
- After two years, 1.4
- After three years, 0.9
- At four, five and six years post treatment, 0.8
This amounted to an improvement of more than 90%. Of the participants in the study, 97% reported a dramatic improvement in vertigo. Just 3% reported a side effect of a headache.
These findings lead Burcon to give a strong recommendation that all patients with a history of vertigo should also be questioned as to their history of head and neck trauma. These can include whiplash from car accidents, falls and other injuries, even if the patient did not believe they were significantly injured. These whiplash injuries are likely to be long forgotten, as "the mean average from the time of the trauma to the time of the onset of symptoms is fifteen years [4]." Burcon also suggested any x-rays or scans be undertaken in a weight-bearing position rather than lying down.
In the paper, Burcon discussed the mechanisms behind MD, and remarked that:
"Meniere's disease not only includes the symptom complex consisting of attacks of vertigo, low-frequency hearing loss, aural fullness and tinnitus, but comprises symptoms related to the Eustachian tube, the upper cervical spine, the temporomandibular joints and the autonomic nervous system [2]."
Dr Burcon, a chiropractor, has presented his hypothesis as to the cause of MD to more than 2,000 ear, nose and throat surgeons, and more than 1,000 chiropractors across four continents [2]. He puts forward a theory involving six key structural and neurological irritations involved in the disease, all of which will be of interest to chiropractors. They include [2]:
- Inflammation of the subluxated Atlanto Occipital Articulation with swelling putting pressure on the adjacent middle ear structures (including the Eustachian tube)
- Traction of a number of cranial nerves (VII – XII) as well as the Jacobsons and Arnolds nerves.
- Irritation of sympathetic nerves which can elicit spams within the vertebral artery and lead to a decrease in blood flow to the brain stem
- Eustachian tube dysfunction caused by torque of the trigeminocervical nucleus and tract
Other key irritations include problems with cerebral spinal fluid flow and the endolymphatic sac. All of these factors, detailed in the paper (reference provided), feed into Burcon placing a large emphasis on the significance of the upper cervical subluxation in Meniere's Disease.
This is consistent with another paper published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research early this year. The paper, a case report and literature review, involved a 45 year old male patient who had been showing signs of MD for 12 years and had received a diagnosis 5 years prior. The case report followed his management according to the protocol of the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) in the USA.
Using the NUCCA protocol, the subluxation was corrected with "a specific low force move" [5]. Following a re-examination after his 24thvisit, the patient stated that, "his condition had improved 85% since the first examination. His quality of life had improved greatly and in his own words 'my most serious issues, vertigo and hearing loss, have been eliminated or drastically reduced'." [5]
It was accompanied by comprehensive literature review and lead the authors to remark that:
"The results of this case strongly suggest that patient's suffering from symptoms of Meniere's disease may benefit from upper cervical adjustments. "
We look forward to the day that significant, double blinded, randomised control trials are undertaken on this important health issue. Until this time, it is encouraging to see case reports and analyses such as these, numbering in the hundreds and giving us a strong indication that there is indeed something to see here.
The Spinal Centre Comment
Within the Practice we have always seen very good results in the management and treatment of Meniere's disease including dizziness, vertigo and tinnitus. Usually we use a combination of spinal adjustments, neuro acupuncture and spinal (postural) correction.
The article references the use of a particular low force technique implemented according to the protocol of the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA). This is similar technique to what we use in Practice with our Instrument Adjusting, in particular the Impulse IQ.
A research paper showing a 90% or more improvement in patient outcomes is truely very impressive.
The article raises a number of points that are worth considering in terms of the diagnosis and management of Meniere's – and for that matter any problem associated with the cervical spine.
The first is screening for trauma. I find that while some patients are able to remember their case history with great detail, there are many that cannot remember what happened last week. No doubt a tougher and detailed case history is essential, it is also more important to screen patients for trauma to the neck.
On occasion, particularly if you were knocked out during an incident – you may not actually recall the event. It seems that we are designed to remember the good things in life and forget the bad stuff. If we did not, you would probably hate your kids. So we cannot rely on 'remembering all traumas' when it was, according to the study, up to 15 years ago.
This is why we take functional loading X-rays of many patients.
Functional loading X-rays of the neck are when you are bending forward (full flexion) and then backward (full extension) to asses the stability of the ligamentous, joints structures and discs of the neck.
If your X-rays have not included flexion and extension views of the neck – or worse, they were done laying down – then it is quite likely the important changes will be missed. Treatment cannot address a problem that was not correctly diagnosed.
Finally, it is not only the nature of the accident or trauma you have experienced that matters. In some respects, it is more important to consider what shape your spine was in prior to the trauma.
For example, if your neck curve is altered or reduced (hypolordosis) then your ability to absorb shock is significantly reduced. Think of being tackled in rugby with a straight leg as opposed to being tackled with a slightly bent knee. You take the hit much easier with a slight bend in your leg.
This is a very important point. But often over looked or dismissed with patients. A low velocity accident at 20 or 30 kilometres per hour, a stumble down stairs or modest fall can have a significant impact on your spine. Particularly if you have a phase II or III neck with a lack of curve, or worse, with a kyphosis and lateral (X-axis) translation.
Great treatment starts with the correct diagnosis. Obtaining the correct diagnosis, in the case of neck problems necessarily involves the screening for trauma and spinal biomechanical analysis.

Mac's lineup of MacBook PCs is probably going to demonstrate better year-over-year (YoY) growth in shipments in 2018 - between 13-16 percent - which will be preferred growth over the organization's iPad and even iPhone lineups will find in a similar period, another report by Taiwan-based market research firm KGI Securities said.
KGI Securities examiner Ming-Chi Kuo - ostensibly the most trusted Apple expert all around - is certain on the viewpoint for Apple MacBook, which is required to see the best YoY shipments growth among Apple's (US) principle product offerings in 2018.
In correlation, Kuo says iPhone shipments are required to develop only 4-6 percent and iPad shipments 7-10 percent, 9to5Mac reports.

Each year, the elite descend upon Davos to shape the world as they see it. Usually, it is a raucous, diplomatic affair. This year, however, was entirely different.
It was a quieter and, dare it be said, chastened elite that convened at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum this year. When domestic political turmoil robbed attendees of last year's political draws—the American and French heads of state, and Britain's Prime Minister, Theresa May—Davos turned into a work week wrestling with private consciences and inconvenient truths.
Foremost was the now inescapable fact that a planet force-fed on a diet of environmentally and socially irresponsible policies will not prioritise humanity.
And that people who are left to fester in poverty and resentful inequality will reciprocate the same disregard for their leaders and institutions.
Levelling the heights of privilege is often a feature of the Davos forum, when the rich also have to negotiate the town's slippery, icy streets and accept that anyone can engage with them openly and at close range.
So, in true Davos style, it was time to distinguish between globalisation—the organic and largely positive exchange of ideas, goods and services around the planet—and globalism, the melting phenomenon, not only of ice caps, but of trust between governments and citizens that is undermining the rules-based order of the last seventy years.
As a result, the topics of global warming and forced migration became the principal lens through which all human activity was measured. Together they are on course to turn the fourth industrial revolution into the Anthropogenic fifth, and perhaps final one driven by humans.
Whether it's the weaponisation of suffering or the soul-depleting loss of icebergs plunging into the sea, it was hard to avoid what survival on Earth is beginning to look like, irrespective of trade wars and political intrigue: people and animals, stripped of hope and nobility.
This year's rockstars, therefore, were the exponents of people's better selves.
Jane Goodall and Sir David Attenborough injected participants with elegant and powerful doses of environmental conscience; and Dr Denis Mukwege, one of two 2018 Nobel Peace Prize recipients, stunned with stories of the female spirit through the 52,000 (that's fifty-two-thousand) girls, women and children he has treated for sexual violence.
A humbled haut monde was forced to peer downwards, into the ever-growing abyss of wealth disparity. The message that businesses and philanthropy must be measured by the yardstick of how effectively they grow and share prosperity still jarred, however, with the 1,500 private jets delivering competing VIP's to the Swiss gathering.
There was a kinder and empathetic element, palpable in this year's less frenetically-packed halls and corridors.
Nevertheless, it was with a sense of defiance that those panel speakers who once pleaded politely for the world's elite to listen, now challenged corporate executives to explain business practices that favoured shareholders over stakeholders, unfair tax arrangements, offshore loopholes, and undignified employment over social welfare—none of it corrupt but all infinitely corrosive. Moreover, if data is the new currency, human capital must be its beneficiary.
With Macron's absence, his young telegenic peers filled the void. Italy's Giuseppe Conte, Spain's Pedro Sanchez and Austria's Sebastian Kurz—gently bumping against the left and right sides of the political spectrum—spoke as rational, coherent and proud nationals of Europe, each identifying the causes and detrimental effects of economic stagnation, while hovering over the dial on migration.
Humanitarians were given greater airtime, and the momentum-gathering option of private-public impact investing in fragile economies stood out as a way to help reach the UN's sustainable development goals by 2030. With multilateralism on the wane, business is stepping up, sensing an opportunity, also to do good.
Though there were the usual prevailing "manels" of middle-aged white industry and political leaders discussing the world's future, there was also a kinder and empathetic element, palpable in this year's less frenetically-packed halls and corridors.
Women's participation was still a paltry 22%, with some watery optimism that this year a greater number emerged from senior business levels. The ultimate cardholder of female power, Angela Merkel, came across as relaxed and magnanimous—at peace, it seemed, with ceding her leadership of the complex day-to-day politics of distrustful electorates and intractable problems.
In the end, Davos 2019 offered a week to pause over uncertainty. What multilateral institutions will tackle world problems at speed and at scale, or spring up alongside old ones? Will new regulatory systems and methodologies for the storing, secure sharing and ownership of data be multilateral or fragmented along bilateral, geographical lines? And will these new ecosystems shore up or undermine democratic principles of governance?
Equally, are humans finally poised to become guardians of the planet?
"We no longer need to pollute the world and resource traditional energy sources…we have the power and knowledge to live in harmony with nature," David Attenborough reminded the Congress Hall's enraptured audience.
When the future is about decisions versus choices, the answers might still rely on the number of private jets feeding Davos next year, which in 2019 grew by 11%, compared to the ratio of women participants, up by just one.
Or perhaps those decisions will move into the hands of a younger, savvier and more diverse generation—refreshingly present at Davos in large numbers this year. As the main users and consumers of data, they can de-leverage traditional business and politics with their own hard currency of trust in transparent supply chains and built-in social impact. For want of a better answer, here's hoping.

Is it time for a tune-up? Car won't start? Need a new water pump, or just an oil change? Welcome to the joys of car maintenance and repairs.
Next up is the question that car owners have been asking themselves since … well, since cars became our most common means of transportation: "Should I take it to the dealer, or go to an independent repair shop?"
Conventional wisdom reminds you that dealerships boast that their technicians are trained professionals with expertise in maintaining and repairing specific brands of cars. At the same time, conventional wisdom also tells you that independent shops are less expensive.
Perhaps the latest findings on the topic from Consumer Reports magazine will help. According to a recent survey of car owners by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, 71 percent of the survey respondents who took their vehicle only to independent shops for repair service (as opposed to routine maintenance) were "very satisfied" with their experience. That compares to 53 percent of those who only took their vehicles to new-car dealerships for repairs and claimed to be "very satisfied" with the experience.
While that's an "overall satisfaction gap" of 18 percentage points, the numbers vary dramatically from brand to brand, explains Jim Travers, Consumer Reports' associate auto editor. Among dealers, Acura and Lexus tended to generate the most satisfying repair experiences. Meanwhile, pulling up the rear, Volkswagen and Mitsubishi owners were less satisfied with their dealers' repair service than owners of other brands.
The satisfaction gap between independent shops and dealerships dropped considerably when the topic turned to routine maintenance, as opposed to repairs — "probably because repairs can be more costly, more complicated", said Travers — and, often, more annoying, than simple maintenance.
For the repair category, Consumer Reports gathered data based on almost 100,000 vehicles taken to new-car dealers and almost 46,000 vehicles taken to independent shops in the 12 months prior to the spring, 2007 survey. For the maintenance-only satisfaction category, CR weighed data based on 286,000 service visits to new car dealerships and 94,000 service visits to independent mechanics during those same 12 months.
Travers said he wasn't necessarily surprised by the 71 to 53 percent satisfaction gap, but noted that "many respondents told us they got better and more personal service from the independent shops than from the dealers." That was surprising, he said, since so many dealers stress customer service as a top priority.
"People also mentioned that they felt like, when they went to dealers, that they were getting up-sold on services they didn't need, and that the cost was higher at the dealership as well," Travers said. That first bit of data is probably not surprising, given the other bit of conventional wisdom that is actually true: Dealers make a higher percentage of profit from parts and service than they do from new-car sales.
"The results of this survey seem to indicate that the overall rate of satisfaction was a combination of both the cost of the service and the quality of the service experience," said Travers.

Good Morning!
Welcome to The Coffee Shop, just for you early risers on Monday mornings. This is an Open Thread forum, so if you have an off-topic opinion burning a hole in your brainpan, feel free to add a comment.
I once wanted to become an atheist,
but I gave up – they have no holidays.
– Henny Youngman
I love finding out about celebrations in other parts of the world. What people do to spread joy, express spirituality, or mark changes of the season, and why they do what they do, never cease to amaze and intrigue me.
In 1978, Chögyam Trungpa, a Tibetan Buddhist master, created Children's Day, a special holiday for the Winter Solstice. The "King and Queen" of the mythical Kingdom of Shambala (which is mentioned in both Buddhist and Hindu texts) welcome and bless the children. Plays, songs, and poems celebrate the rebirth of the sun, and the beginning of winter. Unfortunately, most of the videos about Shambala Children's Day on YouTube were done by parents at local celebrations, so I will spare you the motion sickness of their hand-held camerawork.
Apologies in advance for this first video's chirpy narrator, but the stories she's telling at warp speed are fascinating. The video starts out as an ad for KFC, but does give us information on nine actual traditions.
Here's the list of weird traditions discussed:
- Japan – KFC "Holiday" Meals
- South Wales – Mari Lwyd (Gray Mare)
- Sweden – Goat vs. Fire
- Catalan Region, Spain – Christmas Log
- Caracas, Venezuela – Roller Skate to Mass
- Ukraine – Spiderwebs on Trees
- Norway – Hide Your Broom
- Oaxaca, Mexico – Noche de Rabanos (Night of the Radishes)
- Greenland – Moldy Seal (warning: Eeuww!)
- Austria and Alpine areas – Krampus Night
I'm not sure why most of the holiday narrators I found are racing the clock, but this is a very quick summary of Hanukkah/Chanukah/Hanukah (or however you spell it — transliterations are a pain in the tuchas).

Another delay possible for SaskPower transmission line after quality issues discovered
Saskatchewan's electrical utility says it's "too early" to know if quality issues found in steel towers intended for use in a 200-kilometre transmission line will lead to further delays, but replacing or repairing "tens of millions" of dollars worth of welded steel is unlikely to add to the project's $223 million cost estimate.
SaskPower this month identified "some issues" with some of the towers delivered by HJT Steel Tower (North America) Co. Ltd. for use in a 200-kilometre transmission line between the Pasqua switching station east of Moose Jaw and Swift Current, the Crown corporation's vice president of procurement said Thursday in an interview.
"They could potentially be remediated or rebuilt, and the towers that don't meet our spec get sent back to the factory or otherwise disposed of," Grant Ring said, noting that while SaskPower is "not comfortable with the quality of the product," it is working with the Burnaby-based company to find a solution.
Reached by phone, an HJT representative who declined to give her name said she couldn't talk to the Saskatoon StarPhoenix about the company or the transmission line project before hanging up.
SaskPower began public consultations on the project in early 2013, but has since pushed back its construction timeline. In December 2015, it estimated that the line would be energized in June 2018. Last September, it amended the timeline to say that the line would be operational in February 2019.
Ring said HJT was selected to build the steel towers for the project after it won a competitive procurement process. He declined to state the exact value of its contract with the Crown corporation, but noted that it is in the "tens of millions" of dollars. He also declined to state the exact nature of the problems identified by SaskPower engineers.
"As much as we're interested in meeting project deadlines, we're not compromising project safety," Ring said, noting that the issues are unlikely to lead to increased costs because SaskPower's contract with the tower manufacturer includes terms and conditions that specify a delivery schedule and an acceptable quality of the product.
Last month, Brandt Group of Companies president Shaun Semple said SaskPower should adjust its procurement process to include "local preference" — which would assist with his plan to establish a wind turbine factory in Saskatoon — as it spends billions of dollars to double its reliance on renewable energy sources over the next 13 years.
Asked whether the Crown corporation's experience with HJT will lead to a review of its procurement process, Ring said SaskPower is always reviewing and making changes to its policies. SaskPower spokesman Jonathan Tremblay added that this is an example of the company's procurement process working as it should.
"We're trying to be a continuous learning organization," Ring said.
This story has been corrected to reflect the fact that Grant Ring is SaskPower's vice president of procurement.

Together my husband and I have created a podplay called Mall Ratting, available through Ottawa (de)tours. (Side note: creating an audio play together about consumerism, local economy and young idealism gone wrong = true love).
Podplays are plays in podcast format that can be enjoyed simply as an audio play, or, more frequently, as an audio play that leads you through a specific physical experience or geographical area. Ours is the latter, leading participants through the Rideau Centre in downtown Ottawa.
What I love about our podplay is that is creates a dialogue with participants about the history of shopping centres, our personal experiences with malls, and the question of malls in our contemporary society. And it does it in a way that is way more interesting than that last sentence. For both tourists and locals it offers an experience unlike anything else in Ottawa, and encourages critical thinking and discussion. This is important as the phenomenon of the shopping centre in Canada is poorly documented and rarely discussed, despite the fact that it has a huge impact on our local economy and all of us have been in a mall at least once.
Podplays offer a personal experience and a chance to see the world with new eyes. As a podplay newbie I am really curious about the possibilities of this form and I have a lot of questions that remain about what exactly a podplay is and how important narrative is within it. Thoughts for another day. In the meantime, check out our play! We would love to share it with you. Description below, and tickets available here.
Mall Ratting: A Podplay
Concept and editing by Dan Monafu
Written and narrated by Megan Piercey Monafu
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Rideau Centre, Ottawa's largest and most famous downtown mall! Let us equip you with headphones, a podplayer, and a story, so that you can experience shopping like never before. Part local history, part history of our globalizing world, part behavioural psychology, part experiment, and part tragicomedy, our theatrical podcast-play-tour will allow you to observe your fellow humans as an outsider, and be audio-guided through one of the most popular and least documented phenomena of the 20th century: the indoor, climate-controlled, super-shiny shopping mall.
Following your podplay, we welcome you into Rideau Centre's redesigned food court, the "Dining Hall", for a lively group discussion with your (de)tours facilitator.

If some of you only knew how easy Chinese and Thai dishes are to cook at home, you wouldn't think of ordering out. Yes, I know, Chinese is for take out or dining out, at least that's the way it used to be for me when I lived In NYC where there was a wonderful Chinese takeout named Pink Heaven. But not all of us live in a major city in close proximity to good Chinese or Thai food. If this is the case, I guarantee that whatever you cook at home is going to be ten times better than bad takeout, particularly if you use a good recipe. Get everything chopped and ready, that's the worst part, 'cause the cooking is fast!
Just this week, Mark Bittman of the New York Times published this recipe with an accompanying video which I am going to share with you to prove a point. After you make it, let me know what you think!
Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
4 ounces fettuccine-width rice stick noodles
1/4 cup peanut oil
1/4 cup tamarind paste
1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla)
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1 garlic clove, minced
2 eggs
1 small head Napa cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1/2 pound peeled shrimp, pressed tofu or a combination
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, quartered.
Directions1. Put noodles in a large bowl and add boiling water to cover. Let sit until noodles are just tender; check every 5 minutes or so to make sure they do not get too soft. Drain, drizzle with one tablespoon peanut oil to keep from sticking and set aside. Meanwhile, put tamarind paste, fish sauce, honey and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and bring just to a simmer. Stir in red pepper flakes and set aside.
2. Put remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; when oil shimmers, add scallions and garlic and cook for about a minute. Add eggs to pan; once they begin to set, scramble them until just done. Add cabbage and bean sprouts and continue to cook until cabbage begins to wilt, then add shrimp or tofu (or both).
3. When shrimp begin to turn pink and tofu begins to brown, add drained noodles to pan along with sauce. Toss everything together to coat with tamarind sauce and combine well. When noodles are warmed through, serve, sprinkling each dish with peanuts and garnishing with cilantro and lime wedges.

So I'd been saving up numerous pieces to style while I've been studying, and here are two of the Hotbuys which were released - I've also included the RL versions of these, both of which I really love! The pieces were both shown in menswear shows, which I think really brings about the idea of versatility onto the site, enjoy!
This blazer was 18SD from It Girls and came out in April (April 5th actually, I've been waiting to style it since then!) - I did show two featured looks with this piece here with both looks choosing skirts and bare legs, so I have opted to style with jeans =) First look went for matching colours, which made the red stripe really stand out against the white jeans and black accessories, and for the second look I ventured a little outside the box and chose jeans (love this boyfriend style pair, I might actually do a whole post on them!) along with black accessories. Seemed to be finding hats a necessity with this jacket, guess they work well and I love both of these!
This shirt is a May release and cost 15SD, I've seen a couple of looks around the site, but haven't featured any - I choose trousers/jeans for this piece again, skirts could look really nice, but would definitely require some thought to look great! I ended up styling a pair of jeans, a print and a simple black pair of trousers, and I think all actually work with this shirt. For me, because it is pretty long, you really need heels, but that's just my opinion and how I've dressed my doll!
P.S. 900th post on the blog, can't really believe it!

Recofloor is the national vinyl flooring take back scheme.
Smooth and safety vinyl off-cuts are recycled back into new flooring at Altro and Polyflor's UK plants whilst uplifted smooth vinyl is recycled into traffic cones and other traffic management products.
Recofloor is a flexible scheme with collections able to be arranged from flooring distributors, contractors' premises and from live construction sites.
Here are some examples of how Recofloor has been used successfully on-site:
Hamish MacGregor, Managing Director of MacGregor Flooring Company Ltd said:
"At the pre-award stage, we were asked about recycling. It's a big thing now. We believe that recycling is the way forward on all contracts as it eliminates the need for landfill and associated high disposal costs".
Recofloor have produced a guide as an overview of how the scheme works and how to implement it successfully on construction sites of all sizes. To view this guide click below.
