· Wine-O-Saur wine bottle holder: This can be one of the finest funny gifts India as it would look like a dinosaur and still would be a simple wine bottle holder. The recipient would surely break into laughter after opening this fantastic funny gift. The shape of the dinosaur is made artistically with the wooden pieces assembled, including the four legs, the long and curved body with the triangular mountain-like parts of the body and the long tail.

The centerpiece of the straw would look like a spectacle without glasses on it. The person can wear the spectacle as usual on the eyes placing the straw around the ears. One end of the straw can be inserted in the bottle or glass where the drink would be served. Through the other end of the straw the drink can be sucked. The drink in the bottle or glass would pass through the entire straw. Thus, it can be seen around the eyes when sucked. Thus, it would be the funny way to suck the drink leading to laughter.

Based on a popular swordplay novel, this colorful and complex saga (whose Chinese title literally translates into the poetic Meteor, Butterfly, Sword) has enough conspiracies, stratagems, and sword fights to fascinate even novice kung-fu cinema viewers. The cast of Shaw Brothers' leading swordsmen and swordswomen are masterfully staged by Yuen Cheung Yan, the brother of Matrix and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon martial arts choreographer Yuen Woo Ping. The result is both a great action movie and an exceptional dramatic film.

Nothing like a Super Bowl party to distract from those legal woes.
Justin Bieber stepped out in NYC on Friday night, hitting up Maxim's bash at Espace. The 19-year-old singer arrived shortly before 2 a.m. and was escorted through a private entrance, surrounded by his entourage and security team.
Word on the party circuit is that Justin was denied entry into at least two soirees earlier in the night before he landed at Maxim, which was presented by Talent Resources Sports and catered by Philippe by Philippe Chow.
[RELATED: Celebrity Super Bowl Fans]
Partygoers tell Yahoo that the singer looked good and seemed to be having a great time letting loose. That is … unless you whipped out a camera phone. Bieber's bodyguards tried not to allow anyone to snap photos of the singer, and they weren't shy about knocking phones out of the hands of people who got too close.
Sources also say that Justin did not appear to be drinking and stayed out until roughly 4 a.m., hanging mostly with male pals. The singer's most recent lady friend, Chantel Jeffries, was not in attendance.
It certainly has been an interesting few weeks for the Biebs.
On Wednesday, Justin surrendered to Canadian police and was charged with assault stemming from a December 2013 incident in which he allegedly attacked a limousine driver in Toronto. This, of course, came days after Justin was arrested for DUI in Miami Beach. He was also charged with resisting arrest without violence and driving with an expired driver's license.

In L.A., Bieber is still under investigation for allegedly egging his neighbors last month. His Calabasas, Calif., home was searched in connection with the incident on Jan. 14, leading to charges against his friend Lil Za. Lil Za was charged with felony possession of both Ecstasy and Oxycodone found during the raid as well as a felony for breaking a phone while he was jailed on those charges, according to TMZ.
Considering Justin himself is facing charges in Toronto and Miami and still has problems in L.A., here's hoping his NYC trip goes more smoothly.

These are some I made last week for a "shirt tail" relative who is just starting chemo. I love this pattern, have used it many times, and always find the wearer likes it too.
I have it saved in a file and it was a free pattern at my LFS (local fabric shop), so no restrictions on copying or sharing. Quick and easy to make, about 15-20 minutes each. PM me your email if you would like a copy. Seems I know too many friends who have needed these recently! :(

Time for us to get silent and enjoy christmas
As said, it's time Blacklabel sits down and enjoys the holidays for a bit before getting back to ze work on Utawarerumono again.. We'll see what the new year brings us this time…
As the last thing for this year, I did prepare a tiny christmas gift for all the fellow Utawarerumono fans. :) Happy holidays~
Here you go..
– The team
and so it has been dealt with.
Today I sat down with a friend of mine, paulguy, who is also responsible for programming the first iteration of TPLCodec, the allmighty graphics decoder of Utawarerumono portable, and with him we took another look at this obscure piece of graphics that Itsuwari no Kamen likes to use. Out of every graphics file in the game (there are thousands and thousands of them) only 4 images use this method of encoding. It's quite mindboggling really, first question coming to my mind was more or less like…. why? Well, god knows.
We spent a good deal of time discussing different methods of encoding graphics and examining patterns and possibilities and at the end of the day, was born png_deswiz.exe, the last piece of decoders needed for total graphics access on the game. Behind this more-than-a-little obscure swizzle algorithm lies the title screen, main menu, and more or less the entire battle interface of the game, along with the VN mode's text bubbles and various other more or less visible graphics.
The algorithm behind these graphics was not an easy one by a longshot, and while I like to keep the exact algorithm undisclosed for now, i can say, that it was a serious pain in the ass to figure out what it was, before attempting to figure out how exactly to decode it. Huge thanks for Paulguy as usual for being the hands that code for me once again..
I suppose we could say that this game is more or less Pwn'd now as far as fileformats go. Now…. do we attempt to make a translation patch for uta2 once uta1 is done? time will tell…

Norwich woman escapes Japan disaster zone
PUBLISHED: 07:53 18 March 2011
A Norwich woman caught up in the Japanese earthquake will be arriving home tomorrow morning.
Emma Self, 23, from Salhouse Road, will be greeted at the arrival gates of Heathrow Airport by her anxious parents Richard and Lesley Self. Miss Self is flying home from Japan after the University of Central Lancashire, which arranged her foreign exchange, decided to call back all of its students from the disaster-hit country.
She had been staying in Tokyo and was on a train from the capital city to Hiroshima when the 8.9 Richter scale earthquake struck.
Altoguh Miss Self and her Welsh boyfriend Ben Griffin avoided the chaos they feared they they could be caught up in a nuclear catastrophe if large parts of Japan became contaminated from a leak at the badly damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Miss Self's plane is due to arrive at Heathrow at 5am and her father said she would be sure of warm welcome. Mr Self said: "She will get the biggest hug you can give."
As Miss Self prepares for her long haul flight home a former University of East Anglia student and Norwich City supporter has said he will not move because of fears over nuclear meltdown at Fukushima. Dominick Okamoto, formerly Haslam, lives in Toyko where he works for Barcap.
Mr Okamoto, who has a partner Aki and sons Louis and Leo, had considered moving his family to Okinawa because of fears of a radiation cloud reaching Tokyo if a disaster happens at Fukushima.
The Japanese government has imposed a 20-mile exclusion zone around the plant and yesterday officials said the situation there was critical.
But in a blog Mr Okamoto said: "For now we do not plan to leave – there is no indication that Tokyo is under enough threat to cause harm to us."
And a former Gorleston man has vowed to stay in Japan. Teacher Richard Spinks, 40, wears a white surgical mask to stop him breathing in any radioactive materials from the nuclear power station. But Mr Spinks, who grew up in Edinburgh Avenue and has lived in Japan for 12 years, will not be leaving his home city of Sakura. The former Great Yarmouth College student lives with his wife Kazumi, 37, in Sakura, 400km from the plant. He said: "We are staying put. Our home is here, but we are a bit worried about it, yes."

We spent the last few days in Corpus Christi. Corpus has a lot to offer, but the best is the beach. I love the beach. My kids love the beach. My husband, not a fan. On the way home, when we did our usual round of "What was your favorite part?" he answered with "Leaving the beach."
I was a bit worried when we first arrived because the waves seemed rough. But they looked worse than they were, and the water was lovely. Corpus is much like Galveston in that the water is fairly shallow for a good distance from shore. Basically just a giant sandbar. But, like the dunes, there are dips here and there.
At one point, The Boy and I were sloshing through the waves when we hit a trough. Worried that he might be in over his head, I asked him, Can you touch bottom?
He assured me he could, but added, I think it's more important that I can touch top.

EAST ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)-- Some East St. Louis property owners are upset because they were cited for code violations on property they don`t have full ownership of.
According to residents, at least 100 people showed up at city hall Wednesday morning because they were given citations.
Schnell Carraway says she`s upset because she just bought an East St. Louis property at a St. Clair County Auction on October 24th and she got two citations to appear at city hall.
But here`s the problem, Carraway says she hasn`t even taken full ownership.
Officials say the citations are to kick start efforts to improve the city.
Of the 620 properties sold at the St. Clair County Auction more than 50 percent sit in East St. Louis.
Out of the 100 people who showed up Wednesday, only 1 person was fined.

Managed Wi-Fi And Fiber: A Better User Experience For Demanding Customers
Get our white paper about fixing the home network in a highly demanding market with fiber and managed Wi-Fi.
Broadband Customers Are Not Happy
In Norway a couple of years ago, consumer satisfaction researchers saw something seemingly peculiar: Broadband customers actually rated their Wi-Fi quality lower than they did the year before.
OK, so network interference was on the increase, but was the overall quality really heading the wrong way?
In a word: No.
So what has really been going on?
Simply put, customers are less happy now because they expect more.
And they expect it from you, their service provider.

Despite the growing popularity of 130/30 strategies, this market remains in its infancy and is likely to change in radical ways over the next few years. One potential transformation relates to who will eventually dominate the 130/30 space.
But first, let's define what we're talking about. In a 130/30 strategy, a money manager shorts 30% of the portfolio and uses the proceeds from those short positions to fund an additional 30% long position, resulting in a 130% long and 30% short portfolio. The strategy results in a net neutral exposure to the market of 100%.
Speaking in a general way, long-only managers whoo are looking to launch 130/30 strategies face a dilemma. Their investors are eager to invest in these funds, but many traditional portfolio managers don't believe they have the skills to manage them. As a result, most long-only managers have remained on the sidelines.
A 130/30 fund relaxes the long-only constraint, allowing the manager to do some shorting. This can be attractive to both the manager and the investor, as the shorting makes for a nice hedging tool. It represents a way to manage risk that cannot be found in a traditional long-only product.
Investors, for their part, also can be attracted to 130/30 funds from an allocation standpoint. For pension plans that have already maxed out their hedge fund allocations, 130/30 funds allow them to add more non-traditional equity investments to their equity buckets. The goal is to outperform the benchmark while minimizing risk.
However, there are some obstacles to 130/30 strategies–a major one being skill. Because 130/30 strategies require shorting proficiency, long-only managers have not always been comfortable entering the space.
Why Hedge Fund Managers fear to trend
Part of the reason quantitative managers may stop being the dominant force in the 130/30 space could be attributed to their own success as measured by their huge presence in the market. But as demand grows, managers will have to adjust. Hedge funds are careful in how they penetrate the space for fear of cannibalizing their own products. One aspect of that caution is the fact that hedge fund fees are higher than 130/30 fees.
Hedge funds have rolled out 130/30 products, but they usually remain quiet about it. Overall, the number of hedge fund participants in the 130/30 market remains small, but this trend may also begin to change over time, despite the fact that investors will be putting pressure on managers to lower their fees.
So with a growing demand from investors and, so far, little competition from hedge fund managers, it appears the sky is the limit for traditional portfolio managers in the 130/30 space, though they themselves have some adjustments to make.
All those obstacles have allowed quantitative managers–who typically have more resources and a computerized ability to pick stocks across the winner-loser spectrum–to come in and roll out 130/30 mandates. But many quantitative managers are not doing so great right now, because too many players are seeking the same alpha using similar models. In the meantime, as fundamental managers get more familiar with shorting techniques, they will become stronger competitors in this market.

A new independent study has found that an innovative program, which uses a cell phone app to help pregnant women in India with prenatal and postnatal care, is as cost effective as certain immunizations and other proven child health interventions.
The app is part of Catholic Relief Services' (CRS) Reducing Maternal and Newborn Deaths (ReMiND) project, which focuses on expectant mothers in Utter Pradesh, the most populous state in India and a place with high maternal and infant death rates.
ReMiND contributes to the Indian government's National Health Program by equipping women who are trained as community health workers with the tools they need to gather and access information about their patients. To improve these health workers' (also known as ASHA workers) effectiveness, ReMiND uses a mobile phone app that gives them crucial information, including a checklist of key health practices that they review with pregnant women during home visits.
Based on the checklist, ASHAs identify counseling topics relevant to a mother at her particular stage of pregnancy and health. Given the low literacy rates in Utter Pradesh, the app uses audio and visual tools to counsel the women. Data can then be downloaded by supervisors and government health officials to inform their health programs. ASHAs who use the cell phone app are performing better, and pregnant women are learning more about pregnancy and delivery, receiving more prenatal visits, taking more recommended nutritional supplements and getting more appropriate medical tests.
The new study led by principal researcher Dr. Shankar Prinja of PGIMER School of Public Health in Chandigarh, India, evaluated the impact of the ReMiND program and examined its cost effectiveness in achieving positive results. It found that implementing the program across the state of Uttar Pradesh over a 10-year period would result in significant health outcomes, including:
- A reduction of 16,918 maternal (16.4%) and 119,646 neonatal deaths (5.2%) during the 10-year period
- A 7.6% reduction in maternal illness during pregnancy
- 4.3% fewer cases of neonatal illness
- An increase in 2,290,857 life years
- A reduction of 3,971,317 Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), a calculation of years of life lost from disease, or years lived with a disability
The study found that the ReMiND program would incur a cost of $96 per DALY averted, and $2,792 per death averted, making it as cost effective as Vitamin A and zinc fortification, measles immunization, pneumonia case management and oral rehydration therapy in the developing country context. Within India, the intervention was found to be as cost effective as measles and Hepatitis B vaccination and more cost effective than vaccines against cholera, typhoid and rotavirus.
The researchers concluded that the ReMiND approach and app could be considered not only by the National Health Mission in Uttar Pradesh, but also in national health systems.
"These findings are a remarkable testament to the ability of mobile technology to improve health outcomes in areas where access to health care is limited," said Tony Castleman, CRS' regional representative for South Asia. "We hope to leverage what we've learned to expand this type of programming in other parts of India and in other countries so this approach can improve the health of more women and children."
Dr. Prinja presented his research on Mon., May 15, at the Information and Communications Technologies for Development (ICT4D) Conference taking place in Hyderabad, India, May 15-18. The conference brings together professionals from the public and private sectors to talk about how advances in technology can improve the way aid is delivered. His research will also appear in peer-reviewed academic journals later this year.

CES Photos Redux
Another reason I find the show problematic is that it's over-covered by journalists and, now, bloggers. It may not be as over-covered as CeBIT in Hannover, which is packed to the rafters with reporters, but at least 99 percent of those reporters are covering it for news organizations outside the U.S.A. Ironically, this year the CES folks tried their best to minimize the number of bloggers, but many bloggers got in anyway and did fabulous coverage.
I go to the show to socialize and get a feeling for the themes. It's also fun to see exactly how big a TV Samsung will show at the event. This year it was a 102-inch plasma. Astonishing. So I took one of my digital cameras and made a short photo essay of some sights I managed to capture. There are a few significant finds here. Check them out.

It is necessary to find lost super in situations whereby you may have changed jobs more than once in the past. Keeping track of your lost super is not always an easy task, but there are websites in Australia who can make this process easier for you.
Usually, lost super happens when the super fund from your workplaces is unable to contact you about your specific account. It shows that your account has been idle, but some fees are still getting deducted from your balance.
On the other hand, unclaimed super is whereby the super funds transfer the balance of inactive accounts to ATO for them to hold. An unclaimed super is therefore considered dormant if it has not received any contributions for the last 12 month. From recent data, around 6.3 million lost superannuation, and unclaimed accounts were combined.
You may ask yourself why you should I find my superannuation? How can I find my super? First, you should take note that the money belongs to you and that it is money that you have worked for a long time to accumulate. It can help you plan for your retirement and give you a better future.
It is therefore vital to find lost super online rather than wait for years to pass by for you to start your search. If you wait for too long, you may be subjected to pay some extra fees. This is because holding many super accounts you will be paying taxes on multiple super accounts and usually, the charges can be between 0.5 and 1% of your balance each year.

The race is on, and Logan County moved up in the unemployment rankings for February.
Local unemployment rates for February recently were released by the Kansas Department of Labor, less than two weeks after it released the January numbers.
Greeley County remained the leader with a low 2.4-percent unemployment rate.
But Logan County jumped in the recent rankings, matching consistently low Sheridan County.
Both Logan and Sheridan counties had unemployment rates of 2.6 percent.
Across northwest Kansas, the unemployment rate in January stood at 3.38 percent. That's up slightly from January.
Ellis County had a 2.8-percent unemployment rate.
The state unemployment rate in February stood at 4.9 percent, also up from a month earlier. Kansas was one of 10 states to see unemployment rates climb.
Still, that's down from a year ago.
"Another month of progress in the number of individuals employed coupled with a substantial decrease in unemployment claims is an encouraging sign of growth in the labor market," said KDOL Secretary Lana Gordon. "The state's unemployment rate remains below 5 percent for the third straight month, the first time Kansas has seen this in over five years."
Kansas has gained 12,200 seasonally adjusted private-sector jobs in the past year and 11,000 nonfarm jobs.
But in the past month, KDOL reported, Kansas has lost 2,300 private-sector jobs and 1,200 nonfarm jobs.
"The number of individuals employed has increased for five consecutive months, and likely cast a positive outlook on the labor market in terms of employment opportunities," KDOL labor economist Efua Afful said in a statement. "The result is expansion of the labor force for the last three months as individuals are convinced that opportunities exist for them."
The not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Kansas now stands at 5.5 percent, also up from January. A year ago, that rate stood at 5.9 percent.
The not seasonally adjusted figures show Kansas gained 10,600 private-sector and 10,700 nonfarm jobs since February 2013.
But, in the past month, the state also lost 2,800 private-sector jobs and gained 6,000 nonfarm jobs.
There were 11,121 initial claims for unemployment benefits in February, a decrease from 15,709 a month earlier.

CPAP compliance can be challenging under ideal conditions. Not surprisingly, the quality of sleep among soldiers can be a shambles during combat deployment. "Research shows that chronic low-level sleep deprivation impairs reasoning, decision-making, and slows reaction time. You don't want that in a combat-deployed troop." Beyond the obvious benefits of reduced accidents and convenient placement in a ruck sack, they found that even post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be affected by poor sleep. Even in cases of clearly identified sleep apnea, most troops could not afford to give up pack space for CPAP devices and batteries.
Armed with findings from one of the largest patient populations to date, Army researchers found that adjustable OAs are nearly as effective as CPAP treatment for patients with mild to moderate OSA, and are more effective than fixed oral appliances—particularly in patients with moderate to severe OSA.
The military is interested in the potential of adjustable OAs, also called mandibular advancement devices, as alternatives to CPAP systems since some active duty service members deploy to remote environments where electricity is not always available. In these cases, reliance on CPAP may result in duty restrictions or separation from service. "Adjustable OAs would eliminate duty assignment limitations associated with CPAP, allowing soldiers to travel to remote areas as needed," adds Lettieri.

Is the Movement Lab practice safe for me?
The Movement Lab is a gentle practice for all ages and levels. Listen to your body and to move with ease. Allow the movement to happen and not force anything. Always move your body with awareness and if something is painful or tight, back off. If you need support for balance, try the practice seated or standing with your hand on the back of a chair.
If you have a medical condition, especially sprains, fractures, dizziness or respiratory ailments, please check with your doctor before beginning the program. This practice is not intended to treat or cure any illness or replace any treatment.
When is the best time to practice?
My teacher Matthew Jones says "The best time to practice is when you do it." Pick a time that is the easiest for you, when you know you can commit to it. Be practical; many people think the morning is the best time but then find their mornings too hectic to really stay committed. Maybe the best time is on a fifteen minute break from work in the afternoon or right before dinner.
More advanced Qigong practices can get specific about the optimal time to practice depending on what you have going on in your body – if you are interested in more information about this, please contact Nicky.

This is part II of the series of articles by Tim Gillespie that I think you all should read. We as a people have to start taking more of a stand on issues and giving more accountability to those we've elected. Tim and OK2A are doing that and so I want to share his words with you all.
Dr. Shannon Grimes, Chairman
As I mentioned at the close of "Government For And By The Few, Part 1" we still had a chance to get HJR1026 out of the conference committee during the last week of the session. Five Republican legislators stood in the way. We told you we would name names, so here they are. Senator Don Barrington (R-Lawton) and Representatives Dale DeWitt (R-Braman), Dustin Roberts (R-Bryan Co), Mike Christian (R-OKC), and Elise Hall (R-OKC) refused to sign the conference committee report (we will explain what a conference committee report is in a future article). Representatives DeWitt's and Dustin Roberts' refusal to sign is bad enough, but I want to focus on Representatives Christian and Hall (we'll deal with Senator Barrington in the next article).
Representative Christian had several excuses for why he would not sign. One of his excuses was that HJR1026 would allow illegal aliens to have firearms. We reminded…

Lies You've Been Told About Company Benefits
Employee benefits are a vital piece of growing quality employees to work for your small company. Employee medical benefits are the extra benefits given to the employees by the business. They also include holidays for the sick person.
The Meaning of Company Benefits
Employees ought to take ownership of their own wellness and employers want to aid them do so. Job security As an employee, especially if you been employed by the exact same company for lots of years, you own a level of job security and, even if your occupation is cut you may be eligible for redundancy payments. Once employees know of the role they play in their very own wellness and attention, the better decisions they will make. After the employee is terminated, they will need to pay the full premium. Like the majority of other careers, if you're not a full-time, permanent employee of the organization or company, job benefits like medical and health coverage aren't provided until you're hired on full-time.
Such a business can help you in developing custom made software that may be adopted by you to enhance the performance of your company. You may however look for a company which will supply a health discount card or individual policies at a lower rate if a definite number of employees sign up for an individual policy or medical discount card. When a provider chooses a third party preventive healthcare provider it's important to think about if they'll be dealing with a primary office or a remote site. It just getting started needs to get started. As a consequence, most companies spend a substantial sum of money on training.
Top Company Benefits Choices
Every business stipulates a well equipped occupation center for the treatment of all form of injuries and it's expected that all the staff will, when necessary, utilize the facility readily available in the event of serious injuries. An organization can tap into employee's motivation to satisfy company targets and keep the competitive advantage over competitors. Collaborating huge resources and a large pool of technical expertise, it really offers you a complete package of software development that will help your firm grow. When you commence working with your tax settlement company they'll require some participation on your part with respect to paperwork.
The practical solutions provided by the company are great in every sense. In order to draw more and more clients, the businesses are now stressing upon offering exceptional high quality services. Most recently, the organization announced they would be extending education benefits to all their employees. Companies sometimes change insurance providers and that may cause changes in the positive aspects. Several companies hiring the help of such firms will always be on the winning side since they are going to have complete accessibility to several resources.
Company Benefits Can Be Fun for Everyone
All companies do not need to provide the extension though. Companies must make ethical training mandatory for all employees setting a great example that nobody is above the law.
The Argument About Company Benefits
With the developing technology today, it's not surprising to find companies adopting online payroll processing through internet payrolls that are abundant in the industry. The organization can be somewhat small but still reap the advantages of the company consulting benefits. Tax settlement business will also get the info they need directly from the IRS or State with respect to your back tax issue.

We'll call it a mere finger wagging of "no-no." Still, Southern California coach Michael Cooper was publicly reprimanded for his opening comments of "[Bleep] UCLA" after his team won on Sunday. Cooper's words had more fire than Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott, however. In fact, I'm not sure why Scott bothered to issue a statement, aside from possible heat from UCLA fans. The coach, possibly getting the final dig from a weekend of barbs between the two schools from football to men's basketball, cursed to a gathering of players and media in postgame interviews, who simply giggled. No one even really questioned him on why that was his word of choice, but it sparked ire across the internet. Two days later, Cooper wrote an apology to UCLA coach Nikki Caldwell. She hasn't commented on the cursing or apology. "There is no excuse for it," Cooper wrote. "I realize it is outside the bounds of good sportsmanship." Darn skippy. But shouldn't some money have to be placed on the table? Not that kind of money, USC, I'm talking a good old-fashioned fine that could be donated to relief in Haiti. Anything more than this shuffling of paper from downtown to Westwood. USC plays Washington tonight at Hec Ed. UCLA pays a visit on Saturday. Here's Scott's full statement: "The Pacific-10 Conference expects the highest standards of sportsmanship from all participants, including coaches. All coaches are expected to conduct themselves in a manner which will reflect credit on their institution and the Conference, and create a positive environment in which to conduct competition."

On individualism, neoliberalism, and democracy
Carla. You cannot separate neoliberalism from the euro. The two are inextricably bound up together.
Beata. You mean that there can be no other policy than a neoliberal one? Elections are irrelevant?
C. A newly elected government cannot just go ahead and implement its agenda. It has to comply with the terms of the Stability and Growth Pact and all the other laws relevant to the governance of the Economic and Monetary Union. And since European legislation cannot just be amended at the national level, the government must be fortunate enough to find allies in Europe in order to try and reform the EU. Practically impossible. The very design of this system perpetuates neoliberal policy making. Only EU exit, with the corresponding repatriation of sovereignty, can ensure a path away from the neoliberal paradigm.
Artur. I think we need to disaggregate the subjects of our inquiry, otherwise our conclusions will not be accurate enough. You seem to be bundling together the euro and the EU. I think that is a mistake, for the former is narrower in scope than the latter.
Denis. I suspect that sweeping generalisation of the sort "the EU is neoliberal" cannot withstand scrutiny. Things are more complex than that.
B. They are. The EU engages with a whole range of policies that are to the benefit of the average consumer. From environmental policy, to food safety, to the protection of the single market from monopolistic practices. And of course there are the more pertinent issues of migration and asylum, security and defence, as well as police cooperation against terrorism. Have you not seen the decisive action of the European Commission against the dubious business practices of the likes of Apple and Google?
C. Fair enough. Let's stick to the euro. Do you not see that neoliberalism is enshrined in the very framework that governs Europe's single currency?
B. The rules of the system are primarily focused on sound state finances. However, as the EMU proceeds towards greater integration, the intention is to closely monitor systemic or cross-border macroeconomic phenomena. Thus the policy recommendations will not be just about fiscal discipline, but also about reforms and structural adjustments. The intention is to achieve convergence between the Member States.
C. Structural reforms and the like are the buzzwords used to conceal the fact that a concerted offensive is to be launched against the weakest in society as well as trade unions.
A. I think we need to keep things in perspective. Yes, the euro was conceived as a predominantly neoliberal project. That was back in the 1990s, when the Western establishment thought it had won the battle of ideas. For them there was no alternative to the conventional economic wisdom of the time. Still, we should not forget the primary purpose of the single currency, which had little to do with macroeconomics per se. The euro is a political project, a driver for further integration towards political union. What that means in practice is that the underlying thinking does not simply follow the views of eminent economists. For instance, the euro was arguably not conforming with the model of an Optimal Currency Area. It came into being regardless.
C. Where are you going with this historical overview?
A. To argue that prevailing ideas are trapped in the web of their era. Since the 2007+ economic crisis it has become readily apparent that many of the headline issues of 20th century macroeconomics were in need of thoroughgoing revision. It is simply irresponsible in this day and age to blindly subscribe to the ideology of the likes of F.A. Hayek and Milton Friedman. In practice, we are moving away from such minarchistic tendencies. Even central banks have changed their thinking.1 Their current policies are being referred to as "unconventional" when in fact they should be understood as the new conventions of monetary policy. The central bank is expected to actively seek to manipulate yield curves and help complement the policy initiatives on the fiscal front. We blithely speak about neoliberalism in the same way people did in the 1980s and 1990s, while we pretend to neglect just how much the world is changing around us.
C. Sure, things change, yet much remains the same. Neoliberalism is as much about economics as it is about ethics. It rests on individualism and postulates that individuals bear full responsibility for anything good or bad that happens to them.
B. That is true. Individualism is the underlying morality of neoliberalism, but also of other schools of economic thought, such as the Austrians, from where Hayek comes from.
A. Though I would argue that individualism can be traced back to Biblical mythology as well as the secular ethics of anthropocentrism. Human is believed to be free in a decontextualised sense. To have free will no matter the circumstances. With absolute freedom comes absolute bliss or punishment. Heaven or hell. That kind of binary. No wonder the USA is the land of 'economic freedom' and the number one country in terms of incarcerations. Now, I am a free will sceptic, because I recognise that both natural and social-cultural forces can mould and determine human action. It would be a mystery for the human body, a biological system of chemical reactions, to somehow be immune to the forces of probabilistic cause and effect. It also seems outright false to ignore the social, cultural, historical structure within which human agency is made manifest. It is pointless to speak about some decontextualised individual freedom in an otherwise oppressive society. Think about social exclusion, racial segregation including the case of ghetto areas, domestic violence, mistreatment of women, discrimination against LGBT people, and so on. We need to look at the contextualised human being, which requires a more holistic understanding of the environing factors and conditions.
C. That is high level stuff. I do not see what your point is with regard to the euro's inherent neoliberalism.
A. In continental Europe we do not have such a strong view of individualism as do the Americans. Or such tribalist or feudalist social organisation as do the Saudi Arabians. The welfare state in Europe is much more advanced compared to the rest of the world. What we lack in the European Union is not principles. It is the instruments for social policy that exist at the national level. The reason we think of the euro as primarily neoliberal is because only its fiscal, monetary, and financial aspects have been integrated at the supranational level. We thus have a mismatch, where the emphasis naturally is on macroeconomic metrics rather than society. But this problem has nothing to do with some unflinching commitment to radical individualism. It is a side effect of the gradualism of the European integration process. Corrections will come in the form of a supranational fiscal capacity, which will, among others, provide automatic stabilisers across Member States. That is the direction.
C. Europe has the same religious or philosophical world-view as the USA. Why do you discount the power that individualist morality has?
A. Because action on the policy front already indicates a shift to a more holistic morality, even though it is not couched in those terms. I will provide two examples of practical ethics beyond individualism. The first is Europe's fiscal framework. Yes, the ostensibly built-in austerity drive of the system. Sound state finances are, from a moral perspective, a commitment of the current generation to not place any burdens on their posterity. Inter-generational justice. Social justice, if you will. The second example is environmental policy. Practical ecological thinking and action helps mitigate some of the most pernicious externalities of human conduct and, once again, represents a tacit commitment to respect this planet for all of its species, us and those yet to be, for us at home and those in other countries.
B. I must admit that I have trouble with your first example. How is fiscal discipline not neoliberal?
A. Because you are confusing the principles it covers with the politics of the euro crisis. Europe's problem can be described as a failure to adapt its policies to changing circumstances in the economy. Fiscal discipline should apply in times of economic expansion, while it should be relaxed during recessions.
D. But EU policy makers insisted on implementing austerity in the midst of the economic downturn. Is that not an obsession?
A. It was misguided, though justifiable once put in its proper historical perspective. The euro was launched with a generic set of fiscal rules that were practically unenforceable. There were no institutions for providing a fiscal backstop to the monetary union, while there was no means of effectively coordinating policy between the Member States. When the crisis struck, policy makers decided to gradually correct the flaws of the original architecture. A considerable part of that work has been done, though we still need to see much more action in areas of supranational fiscal policy, system-wide deposit guarantees, and democratic decision making. Against this backdrop, I claim that European leaders should have been more ambitious from the start, should not have built a severely lacking monetary union, and should have taken tougher political decisions in a timely fashion. These would have greatly eased the crisis and would have shown that the actual problem is not with the fiscal rules themselves, but with the prevailing politics between the Member States.
B. So you see the legal framework as more or less neutral?
A. No law is truly neutral. It is permeated by a certain mentality. Still, laws are open to interpretation, while there is sufficient scope for alternative action. What is needed is political will. Look at the Commission's recent reflection paper on reforming the Economic and Monetary Union. It basically admits that they got things wrong and that Europe should have more tools at its disposal in order to conduct macroeconomic policy in a fairer, more effective fashion.
C. In essence, your view is that neoliberalism is a by-product of the prevailing politics, not of the rules as such. However, the way I read such items as the fiscal compact, I find it hard to imagine there being an alternative to neoliberalism. Hence my argument for exiting the EU in order to restore national sovereignty.
A. All dogmas rest on the premise that there is no alternative to their own version of the truth. And all dogmas prevail when those who disagree with them fail to realise that they have internalised the fiction that there are no alternatives. This then functions as an ex post facto rationalisation of the tendency to withdraw. Fatalism engenders nihilism. I cannot subscribe to that view. Politics is about sovereign will formation. Austerity is not some natural calamity or some mechanistic process of legal documents. It is the collective decision of the incumbent politicians. Attack the prevailing mindset on its specifics. Put forward tangible alternative measures. Vote for those who want to enact reforms. Whatever you do, recognise that things can be done differently without waiting for some miracle or the planets to align.
B. The greatest strength of democracy is that it always finds a way to cope with a problem. And it can always correct past mistakes. Think about the politics of the euro crisis. The distrust between the countries of the North and the South, the fact that political thinking had yet to fully grasp the problem Europe was facing. The decisions adopted back then were flawed, but there is no one claiming that they were set in stone. The EMU will be reformed, so it is likely that some exaggerations will be smoothened.
C. That is wishful thinking, because the fiscal compact is here to stay.
D. But it was said earlier that the major flaw of the EMU is that it is unbalanced. Some policies have already been integrated while social issues remain fragmented along national lines. I assume you would suggest that with the entry into force of more measures for supranational social policy, the invidious effects of austerity will be ameliorated?
A. The idea is to always treat a political phenomenon in its proper context. To account for its historical drivers and to trace patterns that point to changes further into the future. Yes, that is basically my point. The shortcomings of the EMU are in large part due to its incompleteness. Again though, even once economic and social policy are integrated at the supranational level, we will still need the right political leaders to take decisions in the interests of society at large. The political process is the most important domain. Laws themselves are not sufficient.
D. And avoid sweeping generalisations?
A. That too. By the way, and speaking of dogmas, have I ever described you my epistemological litmus test for engaging in dialectic, in joint research?
C. Keep it short and we should be fine.
A. Dialectic is the method of cooperatively arriving at a greater truth than what either side to the argument initially knew. Participants in dialectic share a common virtue. They are willing to recognise errors in their argument and are eager to abandon their view in favour of a more cogent one. The dialecticians are interested in the truth, not in "winning the argument". For the dialectician, "losing the argument" actually means being emancipated from a falsehood, which is a net positive. Now about the litmus test. If someone has no intention to ever abandon their view, if their ideas are absolute and perceived as devoid of any flaw or error, then they lack the epistemological virtue necessary for dialectic. They simply cannot be argued with. This virtue is parrhesia, or else boldness to speak one's mind and courage to recognise errors as well as valid points for their intrinsic qualities instead of who states them.
D. So when someone truly believes in the fatalistic notion of neoliberalism being ingrained in the EU architecture?
A. They fail to see that they could further improve their knowledge, or to escape from their fallacies, were they be willing to engage in dialectic. In other words to be exposed to a different thinking process, to conduct further research, and to critically assess their formerly held position.

21 years…I have been married for 21 years. That is longer than I was not married. I have had my husband's surname longer than I had my own. My eldest child is now older than I was when I got married. 21 years.
I was a bright eyed 19 year old when I got married. Gavin and I had been dating for more than two years and I really believed that I was ready. I believed that I knew what I was getting into. Then I fell pregnant.
Yep, honeymoon baby. One month of wedded bliss and then nine months of morning sickness followed by months of sleepless nights and post-natal depression. Our early years of marriage were not easy, but we survived 🙂
Looking back over all the years is bittersweet. We had some really wonderful times but we have also had some really low points. We were broke, living pay check to pay check surrounded by second hand everything (not the cool retro/vintage jag that everyone is on now) and struggled to merge two single lives into one while raising a baby.
Marriage is full of compromise, as cliche as that may sound. Two individuals with their own likes and dislikes, their own preferences and their own opinions suddenly need to share the same space with someone else. It is easy to fall into the trap of one becoming the giver and the other the taker. This is not a great recipe for wedded bliss. Eventually the giver gets sick of giving and the taker loses respect for the giver. For a marriage to be happy, both parties need to be happy, both parties need to win sometimes and both need to lose sometimes and both need to retain part of their individuality.
We all know someone who has been totally swallowed by their partner. They stop hanging out with their own friends, they stop doing the things that they like and their whole life revolves around the one person. This isn't healthy…for either of them. To have a healthy, happy marriage you need to retain yourself even as you learn to compromise. It's a tricky balancing act, but when you get it right, it is worth it.
For me, the most important thing in my marriage was the decision I made that there was no option to walk away. Please understand that I am not talking about when there is abuse in a relationship. What I am talking about is not allowing yourself to view your marriage as something that can be undone when it gets too hard. Sometimes we have to make changes to ourselves so that our lives fit together and this is hard. Don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of times when I have thought it was too hard and it would be easier to walk away, but I knew that that wasn't an option. It wasn't easy and I often believed Gavin would be better off without me, but I gritted my teeth and put my shoulder to the wheel and made the changes I needed to make…and I am a better person for it.
I think that that is one of the best things to come out of my marriage, that I have become a better person. Gavin often says that we grew up together in our marriage and it is true. We were very young and we have grown together as we have grown older. We are both better people, we have both compromised, we have both won sometimes and we have both lost sometimes. We are not perfect, we are still having to compromise (especially since we run a business together) but it has become easier.
I can't imagine my life without Gavin in it. He is my rock, he is my best friend. He has put up with a lot because of me and my baggage and without him I wouldn't be who I am. So, Happy Anniversary baby…I love you xxx

This is my first attempt at building a workbench. Not having the money to build one out of hardwood and not having a ton of space to build one that I can really spread my materials out on this thing will have to work for now. Total measurements are 3' x 4'6". I had a very small working space but its a lot better than what I was previously using. I stole a fellow Lumberjocks idea, Thanks Bernie! I built the top using 2×6 fir that sat halfway on a shoulder that I used my dado blade to cut out of the fir 4×4. Used epoxy and some Timberlock Screws to hold the frame together, the bench top is actually 6 2×10s, this was done so that I could use flooring over the 2×10s and still have a sturdy base. I liked this idea a lot, it allows me to make changes to it when it gets beat up or dirty and doesn't break the bank. The tool crib is actually an old counter top I had laying around with some 2×4s and pocket screws. I am going to add a T-Track and Pipe clamps to the top and I have recently added a small vise to the front. This was a very easy build and when I get more room there will most definitely be a larger assembly table.
One thing that I have been reading on here since I have joined has been working height, I have come to the conclusion there is one thing that works really well for me, 36". Every tool I have with exception to my Band saw has a table height of 36". This allows me to use my work bench as an extra out feed table for my saw or to rest a long board when I'm using my chop saw. I really think this makes a big difference in small shop like mine.
This is the link to Bernie's Amazing table.
When I totally Finish this thing I will add some more pictures.
Thanks for checking it out.
-- The more sawdust I make more I dont want to go to work! Is it worth it?

A new Charlotte-based USL Pro club will be announced Wednesday and will share a stadium with the Charlotte Hounds, the ownership group's Major League Lacrosse franchise.
The report in the Observer stated:
McPhilliamy said the USL Pro team is finalizing a deal to have an affiliate partnership with the MLS' Colorado Rapids.

W5: Haiti a year after the quake
With the first anniversary of the deadly earthquake that struck Haiti approaching, Craig Kielburger travelled to Haiti with actress and humanitarian Mia Farrow, to see first-hand how the country is recovering.
Every day as our team headed out into Port-au-Prince, we passed a two-storey home that sat on a 45-degree angle.
A bearing wall had completely collapsed on one side and nearly all of its concrete had crumbled in piles. The roof remained intact though, complete with the home's water system, on an obscure angle that unfairly preserved a lasting memory of someone's former life.
In fact, the whole image seemed frozen in a moment in time – a moment just before 5:00 p.m. on Jan. 12, 2010 when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the island nation of Haiti.
Just days following the disaster, a team from Free The Children and I travelled to Haiti. The organization has been active in the country since the late 1990s. As the images of devastation rolled in over the evening news, we were anxious to check on the status of our schools, our students and our friends.
Nearly a year later, I still feel that apprehension as the small nation remains fragile. With the one-year anniversary of the earthquake approaching, our team decided to travel back to Haiti with my good friend, actress and humanitarian Mia Farrow -- documented by W5.
I was eager to see what progress our communities have made. Free The Children was opening its eleventh school in Haiti. We wanted to share that moment with Mia, who visited in 2008 following a string of deadly hurricanes and has since felt a deep connection.
Arriving in the country, we didn't go looking for a politically-volatile situation. But, what we found was a country that resembled the house we passed each morning -- frozen in a moment from a year earlier thanks to the inefficiency of a national government and the slow response of the international community.
A Country Immobilized
Our visit happened to correspond with the results of the highly-contested election -- Haiti's first since the earthquake.
On our first morning out, we planned on visiting an internally displaced person (IDP) camp near the airport. Within minutes, our car was stopped by a mass protest.
Thousands made their way up Rue Delmas. While United Nations peacekeepers kept watch over the protest, people still set fire to stacks of tires every few hundred feet in the streets.
Despite the intimidating presence of these pyres, people were surprisingly friendly. After a year of inaction following the earthquake, they were intent on informing us that they would no longer tolerate what they saw was government corruption.
Their frustration was understandable. In sprawling IDP camps, we found hungry children, unpurified water and overflowing latrines. The people of Haiti are justified in wondering what happened to the billions of dollars that were promised to alleviating their suffering.
As we watched the anger boil over, we witnessed how the political impasse further immobilized an already-struggling nation.
Across Port-au-Prince, ports, roads, banks and business were closed due to violence. As always, it is vulnerable who have no voice in these matters, but suffer the most: children.
At an orphanage Free The Children supports in the neighbourhood of Carrefour, the administrator Brother Jeff fought to provide a home and an education to 400 boys -- street kids who spent their adolescence on the unforgiving streets of Port-au-Prince, and children newly orphaned by the earthquake one year ago. He explained that due to the political violence the orphanage was unable to get money out of its bank account to provide for hundreds of kids. And more children were being dropped at his doorstep every day.
Our group then travelled to the rural village of Hinche to deliver medical supplies. There we met Dr. Pierre Prince, the director of the city's hospital and overseer of its cholera ward. Months ago, he and his colleagues had made a public appeal on the radio to delay the election until the epidemic was under control. Now, the violence in the streets had made those infected with the bacteria too afraid to travel on the roads to seek treatment at his hospital.
As he had predicted and feared, an untold number were dying at home.
Dr. Prince sighed heavily, and voiced that he would continue to treat all who walked through his doors. Since Oct. 23 the hospital, one of the largest in-patient cholera treatment centres in the region, has cared for more than 3,500 patients with only 27 deaths.
It was an astounding contrast. In Port-au-Prince, protesters fought a corrupt government by immobilizing the city. Elsewhere, we found others who fought for the same cause by trying to mobilize their communities.
There's certainly no lack of resilience in Haiti, or an absence of will to create better among the population. Where things have gone wrong is in the lack of resources to move this country out of a frozen moment in time.
Free The Children is an international development and youth empowerment organization. Given its 10-year history in the country, the organization immediately responded following the earthquake with a strategy focused on helping children. This included initial shipments of $1.6 million worth of emergency supplies and $2 million in medical aid for IDP camps, hospitals and strained communities.
To date, the organization has built eleven schools, a nutrition centre, sanitation facilities and helped support teacher salaries and technical training for students.
Nearly 2,000 children in Haiti attend Free The Children schools. The organization has also committed to long-term development by implementing clean water, health and alternative income programming and eliminating all barriers towards attending school.
This holistic approach ensures that rebuilding the nation, post-earthquake, is feasible and that young people's minds continue to develop while the rest of the community benefits as well.

Key Aspects to Check on When Buying Salvage vehicles
The the fact that you are buying a salvage car doesn't mean you have to go for an option unless it is worth your money and effort. You, therefore, need to know tips which you should apply to that particular vehicle. Today, you no longer have to worry about that because we will equip you with imperative aspects to check on before you buy that particular vehicle.
The most significant aspect to check is the specific damage that the car you want to buy to avoid those that went through accidents like flooding and fire. The deeply damaged vehicles may seem to work after repair but will turn to a completely different story after a short period. It is also important to ensure you do not buy a vehicle whose repair will cost you more than the buying price. To identify the estimated cost of repair; you might need professional help.
One thing you need to understand is that it will not be easy to get an insurance cover but you can be lucky enough to obtain liability insurance, and you have to research on how that is carried out in your country first. Before on the car, intense checkup is a requirement and restoration company that the dealer does not have a direct relationship to avoid any jeopardy. Inspection of a salvage vehicle before you set it on the road is essential for matters of legal registration. Your imminent anticipations to find a buyer should be set aside because the moment it is a salvage automobile, it stays that way forever.
The performance and the period of good working conditions of a salvage automobile will also rely on the dealer who sells the car to you. When you are not keen on the choice of your dealers, you can end up getting losses. You have to check out and research on the kinds of services that the dealer provides to customers to gauge the reputation. Salvage auto dealers should provide credentials to show that they are legitimately operating in the automobile industry.
You have to confirm credentials like licenses from any salvage vehicle company before engaging them in any transaction.

For this article a few ideas how to get your digital delay to sound less bright and more like an analogue delay.
Digital delays tend to sound brighter than their analogue brothers. Not a problem really, but there are times you would like your delay to sound a tad bit darker. In cases like this there are a few options you have to tame the brightness of your delay:
When you use your delay in combination with other pedals make sure you put the delay at the end of the signal chain.
If you have the option of using two amps, please do so. Set one amp up for a darker sound, get the other one to sound a bit brighter. Set the brigher amp up for a slight distorted sound.
If your delay offers DIRECT and EFFECT, make sure you set the pedal up to get the delayed sound on the slight distorted amp. The distortion will make the delay less bright while the brightness of the amp will preserve the clarity of the delay. Leave the darker amp set up for your direct guitarsound.
When set up all correctly the end result is a well-balanced sound where the orgininal brightness of the delay will sound darker and more muddy while still retaining its clarity.
Which delays are good for this approach?
Any of the Boss Digital Delays respond very well to this approach. You can get very close to the sound of a DM2, even a Electro Harmonics Memory Man Deluxe. It all depends on how well you set up your distorted amp: If it is too distorted, the clarity of the delay will be lost, hence me using a brighter amp for this approach.
Could you achieve similar resulsts with putting a distortion pedal after the delay?
Interstesting question. I have not tried this set-up yet, but my feeling is that the first scenario will give you better results.
Will you need to use two amps?
To get the best results the answer is yes as your sound is divided in: Delayed guitarsound and Straight guitarsound.
One amp will combine both sounds and as a result you will loose a bit of clarity.
If you are new to using two amps with a delay (or Reverb or Chorus) you should give this set-up a go anyway, as your sound will be so much bigger, even a fairly low volumelevels.
Have fun experimenting and hope to catch you soon again,

We specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating injuries related to muscles, bones, ligaments, joints, and nerves. We help restore physical function with a range of treatment techniques such as manual therapy, injury specific exercise prescription, movement retraining, medical acupuncture, and various electrophysical modalities. Our physiotherapists are highly trained, providing clients with complementary treatment options that involve many of the techniques described below.
Manual Therapy
Our therapists utilize a wide selection of manual techniques, dependent on the needs of our clients. Manual stretching, friction massage, trigger point, and myofascial release are some of the treatments designed to restore normal length and mobility to soft tissues. Joint mobilization techniques are utilized to restore full range of motion in a joint, following loss of mobility. If required, joint manipulations may also be used provided that the therapist has the appropriate training and the patient's consent.
Prescriptive Exercise
Prescriptive exercise is highly effective and a key component of injury prevention, recovery, pain management, and general good health. We are very knowledgeable in providing patients with exercises specifically designed for you and your needs. Physiotherapists are experts and training the body to move, and move well. Whether you are pre- or post-surgical, returning to activity or work, improving your ability as an athlete, pre- or postnatal, or managing systemic conditions such as arthritis, our therapists will work with you to design an exercise program to keep you Fit to Play in all situations.
Electrophysical Modalities
Electrical and physical modalities, such as ultrasound, laser, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and interferential current (IFC) are all designed to stimulate tissue healing, reduce pain and swelling, and to restore normal tissue function. We may use a variety of electrotherapy tools during your treatment sessions.
Medical Acupuncture
Encompassing a combination of traditional Chinese acupuncture and Western medical science, acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into the skin at specific points to achieve a variety of effects, including pain relief, reduction of swelling, and improved circulation. Medical acupuncture is not appropriate for all patients and thus a special assessment is required to determine if it is appropriate for you.
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)
IMS is a specialized form of needling that differs from acupuncture. It helps to reduce pain and dysfunction by inserting a needle into targeted areas of tightness and trigger points in muscle tissue. The needle produces a reflex response, causing relaxation of the muscle, thus reducing tension on other joint structures. IMS is not appropriate for all patients and thus a special assessment is required to determine if it is appropriate for you.
Functional and Athletic Taping
Injured joints and body parts may benefit from taping in order to protect the area from further injury and allow an earlier return to activity. Applying tape to the affected area may heighten proprioceptive awareness. Taping can also support the area allowing muscles that have tightened to relax and thus facilitating a return of motion.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular Rehabilitation is a specialized treatment approach, which involves specific movements, techniques, and exercises, to decrease the symptoms of dizziness, gaze disturbances, and balance impairments. A specific vestibular rehab program is to be completed by the patient at home. Peripheral vestibular dysfunction has been shown to respond well to progressive balance retraining, specific stretching, and strengthening techniques.
Water provides a near weightless environment where individuals can work at a comparable intensity to land based exercise but for longer and without discomfort or post exercise soreness. The specific aim of hydrotherapy is different for each individual and condition or injury. In some cases hysdrotherapy is able to assist with the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal function, maintain or prevent deterioration of function, or prevent the occurrence of an injury. As every case is unique, an initial assessment by our physiotherapist must take place in order to determine if this type of therapy would be beneficial for you.

Annual dermatology visits to make sure your skin is healthy are a must.
An annual preventive care visit is covered by qualified health plans (see your Benefit Book for details). During your annual preventive care visit, your primary care physician (PCP) can check for signs of skin cancer.
Your PCP may recommend that you follow up with a dermatologist for more exams or tests. Be sure to go to an in-network specialist. If you need a referral from your PCP, ask your doctor to refer you to someone in your network.
You can use the Provider Finder® tool to confirm that the dermatologist is in network before your appointment.
Before the Exam
It will be helpful if you take a little time to prepare for your dermatology appointment. Here are some easy steps to take to get ready:
- Remove all nail polish from your fingernails and toenails.
- Perform a full-body skin self-exam.
- Note any new, changing, itching or bleeding moles, growths or other skin lesions (any abnormal change or damage to your skin). You live in your skin, and you know it best.
- Don't forget the places you might not think to look, like your scalp and eyelids, in between toes, and the soles of your feet.
At the Exam
- If you've never had any atypical moles that are of concern, the exam itself takes about 10 minutes. Atypical moles are not cancerous, but they look suspicious and could be a risk factor for skin cancer.
- The more moles you have, the longer the exam will take.
- Be sure to point out any spots you noticed in your self-exam.
- If you aren't sure how to do the self-exam, ask the dermatologist to show you.
- Finally, be sure to ask questions. From spellings of medical terms to ideas for further research, your doctor should have answers for you. You may want to take notes.
Mole Myths Busted
- Just because a mole is raised does not mean it is a cancer risk. Watch it for changes.
- A mole may make you crazy with itching, but that may be because it's rubbing against your clothes. Let the doctor know about it and check to be sure.
