There are a lot of moving parts to running an online business.
You know the drill, right?
- Gotta have an opt-in page and gift

- Do you offer packages or just one-off sessions?
- And on and on and on
There are a lot of courses out there that teach you those basics. Heck, if you have a lot of free time, you can DIY it using YouTube videos!
But you don't have lots of time and just want someone to give you just what you need – without a lot of fluff!
You need in-depth strategies to go deeper in your business!

Four weekly live trainings with bonus time for your Q & A (calls will be recorded)

Join me for Intuitive Business Strategies 201
A 4-week deeper dive into your online business!
Intuitive Business Strategy 201 - An Overview
This isn't beginner level stuff, yo! This is strategy, not just information to file away. I'll be putting you to work implementing and reviewing.
Come ready to get involved and take action!
Course dates: Sunday April 12, 19, 26 and May 3
All calls are at 8pm eastern and will be recorded if you can't be on live with us.
Module One - Get your business systems straight
There are a million and one online tools you can use to run your business.
All of them are good but are they *right* for what you need?
I'll quell your confusion and tell you the best options to keep you moving and organized. Not only that but we'll start implementing them in your business right away.
Module Two - There's gold in the follow-up
The importance of the follow-up
How often do you stay in touch with your current or prospective clients? Do you have a follow-up system in place?
Module Two covers why this is important and gives you actions you can take now to re-engage with your list or past clients.
Plus, I'll give you scripts to follow to make it easier for you to get started.
Module Three - Facebook Groups - Part One
Facebook Groups are where it's at!
Since Facebook fan pages are moving quickly toward a pay-to-play model, small businesses are using social media discussion groups to grow your list and attract new clients.
Week three is where we talk all about how to show up in different groups, be seen as a leading participant and create interest for your work – all without being salesy or pushy!
(There's an art to it and I'll show you just how.)
Module Four - Facebook Groups - Part Two
Creating your own group
Facebook Groups are a super (and free!) platform to engage with prospective clients. Do you know how to run a successful group where you get to market to your members easily?
There's an art to this, too!
It's not hard but it takes some skill and know-how. Module four gives you all the inside details on how to start and grow a Facebook group as one of the marketing arms of your business.
You're ready for those next steps, right?
(Thought so!)

If you're an action-taker and are serious about creating your business the right way from the start, this is your next step after the training.
I'm Lisa and I'll be guiding you into a deeper relationship with your business.
I help intuitives, soul-preneurs and healers expand their gifts and build a solid business so they stop giving their gifts away for free and get the tools and strategies to reach more people.
I can help you do things the right way – the way that sets you up for success.
How do I know?
I've been where you are.
Starting Practically Intuitive in early 2010, I offered intuitive readings and courses on how to trust your intuition all while working a demanding full-time job.
In 2013, I created the Professional Intuitive Certification and Mentoring Program and have trained more than 25 intuitives on how to offer professional readings and build their business.
I work with healers, intuitive readers and energy workers to help lay the foundation for a business that supports them as they support others.
You'll find I'm hella-grounded in strategy while also being hella-connected to the wisdom of Spirit Guide teams.
Three things to know about me as we work together:
1. According to one of my Professional Intuitive Mentoring practitioners, my middle name should be "I'll get you out of your comfort zone or die trying!" – she's right. My coaches kick me out of mine all the time because ain't no growth in that place! (I do it with enormous love, though.)
2. I take the work I do very seriously but I love to have fun while doing it. You'll be entertained AND educated at the same time.
3. I am very close to my clients and students and they know I'll support them and their business any way I can. You will always have someone in your corner, even after our work together is finished.
Lisa is unlike most intuitives I know because she GETS business.
She has the nuts and bolts of business and technology mastered and is often a go-to resource for tools and tips to make the business side of my business easier and more functional without getting bogged down with it being complicated.
Plus she's a master at the intuition side – there is no one else I refer people to so they can connect with their guides.
And to have all of that in ONE package?
It's a no-brainer to work with Lisa.Angella Johnson
Here's what it's like to work with me!
I recently decided to take advantage of Lisa's offer for a free 30 minute Business Breakthrough call and LET ME TELL YOU…I am truly thankful that I did!
Not only did Lisa offer valuable advice and guidance related to my new business endeavors; she released a huge blockage, deep within my psyche that had been filling me with fear, affecting my ability to feel comfortable with my true self and tell the world that I am a Tarot Reader.
After the call my confidence rose and I quickly launched my website. I look forward to working with Lisa in the future and I would HIGHLY recommend her services.Stephanie Sweet
I was tired of not knowing how to go forward and stand out as a professional energy healer and so I asked Lisa for help.
She provided the space for me to dream big and pour out all the doubts I have in my business, and was honest in letting me know just what I needed to move forward, which I would have avoided doing if I were on my own.
Lisa is very open to feedback and is willing to keep offering what I needed, and not what I wanted, so that I don't become over reliant on her when the program is over.
I am very new to doing business and copy writing so she gives really good feedback on how I can improve my copy as well as get clear on my core message.
I'm glad that I am finally moving on the right track.
Thank you, Lisa!Bingz Huang
When Lisa reached out to me, I was in a bit of a pickle. I'd written my course – the content is awesome. I can write, I'm good at it.
But, then came the time to design my sales page….oh. This is a whole different ball game! I really struggled. I put out what I had cobbled together – knowing it wasn't up to scratch. Lisa gave me a critique on my sales page content (boy did she!).
It was invaluable. I was feeling deflated because I know I've created a valuable course, but I just couldn't sell it – the most important part!
Lisa's help and advice was second to none. She explained it in a way I understood giving me awesome tips and advice on structure and lay out. Now it's looking brilliant and she's made the whole sales page process "click" in my mind. A real light bulb moment. I really feel, with Lisa's excellent support, I've cracked this last piece of the puzzle.
I'm just thankful you took the time to help me because it's made such a massive difference to me
So Thank you Lisa! You seriously know your stuff.Lynsey Mentier

Inspired performances by supply chain partners in FY 2015-16 contributed to the best year to date for apparel powerhouse Brandix, which honoured its top vendors at a gala Vendor Summit in Sri Lanka last week.
The top 100 vendors from the 350 that account for Brandix's annual raw material spend attended the summit, half of them from 14 overseas locations. Presenting these key suppliers with an insight into the dynamics that propel the industry and a glimpse into the future, Brandix forecast it would double sales in the next five years, through a concentration on speed, quality, innovation and price.
Brandix had 530 vendor partners on its supply chain when the Group hosted its last Vendor Summit in 2011. While its business grew by 63 per cent in the five years that followed, the number of vendors supplying raw materials reduced to 350, and could fall to 150 by 2020, the summit was told.
"Our industry is one of intense competition where the dynamics are highly emotional on the one hand, and quite rational on the other," Brandix Group Chairman Priyan Fernando said in his keynote address titled 'A journey to best-in-class.' "Brandix recognises both elements, the emotional and the rational, in its effort to produce phenomenal products better, faster and cheaper," he said emphasising the need for continuous improvement through a focus on processes, speed and comprehensive management of risks.
Brandix CEO Ashroff Omar cautioned that 2016 would be a 'rough year' given the headwinds that the retail industry is facing, but said the Group is confident it will ride the storm successfully and prevail with the support of its supply chain partners.
Presentations were also made by Ranga Ranmadugala, CEO of Brandix Apparel Solutions Limited – Essentials and Brandix Lanka Chief Financial Officer, Hasitha Premaratne among others who spoke on Speed, Agility and Inspired Solutions, as well as Brandix's long range plan respectively.
Brandix recognised the contributions of its best supply chain partners at this event with awards in two groups, one for 'speed partners' and one for top vendors in 12 categories, covering suppliers of bra cups & padding; packaging; thread; packing trims; sewing trims; labels, tags & stickers; lace; embellishments; elastics; knitted synthetic fabric; woven fabric and knitted woven fabric. A total of 33 awards were presented, including 19 Speed Partner awards.
The top award of the night–presented to Brandix's Vendor of the Year — was won by Pacific Textiles Ltd., while the award for the Best Stall at the Vendor Road Show that preceded the summit was won by Coats Thread Lanka (Pvt) Ltd.
Ranked Sri Lanka's most valuable export brand in Brand Finance's 2016 ranking of the country's leading brands, Brandix is the pioneer of the concept of 'total solutions' in Sri Lanka's apparel sector and is a preferred supplier to some of the top retail brands in the US and Europe. Brandix is also a benchmark and international award winner for eco-friendly manufacture and commitment to environmental best practice. The Group employs more than 48,000people in its manufacturing facilities in Sri Lanka, at the Brandix India Apparel City in Andhra Pradesh and its large operation in Bangladesh.

Don't stay here if you have slides, require more than 10 amps of power, have a dog, or a tow car. If you do not require any of these then it's expensive but tolerable. The picture of the sites have no bearing on reality. The sites pavement is in decay, the cable does not work, the power is about 100 volts. The park is roads are narrow and very bumpy. The people who live there are pleasant and will tolerate your tow car being parked in the street. I would not return unless it was a family emergency. - P Wiggins

Heavily wooded park in redwood forest off Hwy 9. Back in site was tricky to get into for our 38 ft 5th wheel as it sat behind and at an angle to another site as well as the road. Once into the site it provided privacy and a view of the river below. Site was mostly level and access to electric, water, and sewer were convenient. Cable provided was adequate, and like most park wi-fis it worked well in hours of low demand. Verizon and Sprint with marginal service. Most of the other sites in the park were close together and the park was very full for the entire weekend. A small unfenced dog park was found at the end of our stay which was nice as it was not mentioned on the map or when we checked in. The park charges a $3 a day per dog fee. Fire rings are available in the office to rent . The town of Felton is approximately 5 minutes away and has all necessary services. Santa Cruz is approximately 15 minutes away. Be sure and follow the included directions into the park as Highway 9 is not suitable for big rigs. - bbmidwife

Actually free, part of Thousand Trails, but still NOT worth the price. You got slides? Good luck. This park was built before slides and now they have marked out narrow sites with white lines that you are expected to stay between. The fire department requires some magic distance away from the 30 amp electric socket. After getting read the riot act, very nicely, I might add, when checking in, we still ended up in a fierce argument with her when she found we were too much over the line. After I threatened to check every RV in the park to make sure they were in the lines, she gave us a few inches of leeway. She has a truly lousy job. Thousand Trails should be ashamed of themselves. RV's with slides should not be allowed and at 42', our MH leaves our Jeep out in the road, but somehow that's ok. You also park opposite your neighbor. Horrible setup. We test the water. Decent tap water (210ppm) and fairly soft. Thousand Trails is two for two with us so far - two losers. Don't come here. Santa Cruz is nothing anyway. The boardwalk is seedy. - Odyssey

This park is old and doesn't look good on approach. It's not cheap either. But it's the only one anywhere near Menlo Park including going north or south on 101. The back area is really well maintained with very good hook ups, power pole is in good condition. But what really made our stay exceptional is the manager and her husband!
The first night we lost 12V power. It's amazing how dependent a coach is without it. We had 110 power. We called the office on Saturday morning to ask about a mobile repair. There's only one. They tried to get out but were just too busy and could come only on Monday. This manager gentleman, who has considerable RV service knowledge, came to us and diagnosed our problem. He spent at least two hours testing and another hour making a temporary fix. We would have been there a least 2-3 more days, stressed not knowing where the problem was. But he took his personal time to figure out the likely cause, allowing us to reach our destination and get repairs completed while not being in transit. THANK YOU! - Bobcat1

We have "kids" at Stanford and so have stayed here a handful of times. This trip, we are in the expensive, pull-through way back.......on the salt flat bay. It's quiet with a pretty nice view for being in the city. Bathrooms in the expensive seats are newer, high end and spotless. No complaints with sites. They've cleaned up the main resident's section that you drive through to access the rear for overnighters. Staff has turned over, and I miss the adorable older woman I used to interact with in the office. New staff not so sharp. Can't reserve on-line, rarely get through on phone, and took TWO days to return my call. The Wi-Fi is terrible. You get a coupon and, after going through a drill to "register," you might slowly get connected,.......but I never actually got service. I called the vendor's 800 # and, after a 10 min. wait, got some guy who didn't care and blamed it on the fact that the park's bandwidth is insufficient for the number of users (It was mid-day!!!!). Verizon Mi-Fi has rescued me, but I really feel abused to pay $95, and have no internet. If you don't need a pull-through you can probably save ~$15 a night, but you might want to try to get a key for the bathrooms in the back which are a big redeeming factor. - Diesel24J

Alright folks, if you are coming here in an R.V. for a short stay you can't beat it. It has no picnic table, no fires, no club house, and some views; it is an urban R.V. park. You probably aren't planning on spending a lot of time in your rv. You've come here for some specific reason and not to go Glamping.
With that mindset this place is excellent. The sites level up very easily. The bathrooms, showers, and laundry rooms were spotless and are cleaned daily. The showers were fully heated and had plenty of hot water. All the folks I met were extremely friendly and helpful. The staff was on the ball and very pleasant.
As previously mentioned the short term sites are on the bay side of the park and ours had a great view of the bay and the surrounding mountains.
We did not try the park wifi but my Verizion Mifi worked great. Getting in and out of the sites was a dream and there was plenty of room for coach and the the toad. The utilities provided clean 50 amp power, and simple sewer hook up. ( if you find it draining your tank a bit slow loosen the cap on top of the island). There's cable hook up but we spent so little time in the coach we didn't hook up to it. We paid a bit less than $73 for a 7 day stay. The daily rate is $85. The front part of the park is for long term residents and the sites are clean and not cluttered with all the units I observed in very good condition.
We will stay here next time we come to the Bay area. - pumper9x9

We stayed here 1 night to attend a concert down the street. Can't reserve till 14 days prior, we did, but they didn't have any record of it. Can't check in till 5pm, Must leave by 11am. They put us in the parking lot backed up to the trees. Had to move a bunch of cars in the lot to get us in. Cable tv had 3 channels. WiFi was free for an hour, then $6.00 a day! Restrooms need a lot of TLC before my wife would use it. Would only stay here again to attend another concert. - Tredguy

This is not a real RV park, it is a day use park for picnics. The road in is narrow and twisty, the sites are VERY short and not level. The bathrooms are not cleaned daily and old. Avoid this if your in anything longer then 10'. They don't tell you this when you talk to them. We stayed in a 38' motor home, never again. You have to wait till the day use parking lot clears out before you can get in or out of your site. Severe steep driveway. - wrready2

Pleasant location. However the site was not flat, which made for awkward sleeping. This was surprising as it is tarmac all the way through. Restrooms and showers needed a LOT of work (holes in the walls, cramped and dirty). Wifi was available for $6. This site has a lot of potential as it is beautifully situated in the woods and right by a stream, and has all facilities available. However the problems mentioned above mean I can only give it a 6 out of 10. - wicksee

Although the concerns about tight turns and need for a code are valid, the quiet and location of this park make up for all that. The code is part of the check-in process, you use it on keyed padlocks on the gate and the dump station. Don't arrive after dark though, doesn't look like they have a late arrival process. - HikerBoricua

We came to this county RV park as many other RV parks in the Bay Area closed down. The RV sites are difficult to level and only for smaller units. We have a 27 ft class C so it was OK lengthwise but had a hard time to level. The county park closes its gate at sunset but we were given access code to get in at night. Unfortunately the code we were provided were wrong as they did twice. We were stuck at one night for more than half an hour. The camp host never answered calls or knocks on the door of his/her motor home. Other campers told us they never saw the camp host anyway. The ranger station was not attended so you do everything online. We will never stay here if there is another alternative in the Bay Area. The high housing cost has driven most of the RV park out unfortunately. This county park has no incentive to improve its service. - hotpepper
Apr 2013 - $30.00
This is a Santa Clara County campground in a park. They have 15 RV sites for smaller rigs. The official policy is no RVs over 31 feet, but we have seen much longer RV's. There is water and 30 amps at the site and a dump station. Larger RV's (and perhaps smaller as well) will have an issue with the road into the park. The last two miles on Sanborn Road is very narrow with some overhanding limbs and a one-lane bridge. It is also very steep coming up the hill into the park. The dump station is very, very tight. The sites are all back-in and fairly short and not very level. This is a campground that I would recommend for smaller RV's with a sense of adventure. Once you get past that, it is a wonderful, quiet campground with great access to the Bay Area. You can make reservations but we have never, ever seen it full. If you do not make reservations, you have to pay day-by-day; a bit of a pain but it works. The gates close at sundown so it feels secure. If you talk to the right person, you can get the gate code to come in after dark. The park is a bit strange in that it gets some folks camping because they have no other housing, but it has never been a problem for us. Our Verizon phone and data card did not work in the park because of the terrain. There are some sites where you can pick up satellite. - TheJim

OK first of all if you get a RV spot in San Jose, lucky for you. This place is somewhat quite, clean, and friendly. I was barely able to fit my 35 foot rv in my spot but the staff was very helpful in assisting me. Most of the RV are permanent residents and really nice folks. The wash room and showers were really clean. You are near a recycling plant, so there is some noise and intense smells at times. But its the best deal in town for sure. - Vanslam

Would never stay here again. Got the last site in what seems to be mostly fulltime campers. Odd set up and needed extension and level blocks. Didn't feel safe because of unsavory characters and the neighborhood wasn't the nicest. Showers cost. Not good value for money at all. Manager was abrupt and rude. No amenities for the high charge. Don't bother coming here unless you're desperate. - kiwitravelers
Sep 2011 - $34.00
This park would rate much higher if it weren't for the noise at night. Starting about 3 AM the recycle trucks arrived and dumped their loads. Now, if you sleep like my wife, or wear a hearing aid, I can highly recommend the park. Showers were older, but spotless, including shower curtains. The rest of the bathroom was extremely clean. The manager was kind and made sure we had good instructions when calling in for reservations. Unlike a previous poster, we did not experience a smelly environment from the recycle center. - JDRobar

This park is pretty with only a couple of trailers left, full of motorhomes and fifth wheels. They have very specific parking rules which required us to park our dually next to a bush, that scratched it. Nice but cramped laundry.30 amp electricity kept going off and on. No breaker to turn off electric so must hot connect. Sewer is not a proper fit so it leaks. No recycling available. Very expensive, not near groceries or shopping. In industrial area of town surrounded by poor neighborhoods. WiFi virtually non-existent, no cable and no antenna stations available. Sites and streets are paved with many many very high speed bumps. No discounts. - DRV

This RV park in silicon valley is clean! This park appears to have its own cc&r's and is better for it. Pool and gazebo surrounded by green grass. Postal service is evidenced by a row of mailboxes at main office. There is an electric lawn mower to borrow to keep up your very own 10'x 5' strip of green space should you reside here for over 2 weeks. It offers spaces to one-night travelers too. This is a nice, clean, groomed trailer park where you want to live while earning a living here in San Jose. I didn't want to leave. It is nice for city camping in your travel trailer & I would go back. It is just a few miles from World Famous Henry's High Life restaurant and HP Concert Pavilion - CasaRoll
Jan 2012 - $35.00
Located in an industrial area with good access to the freeway. Park is very clean and well kept and has many long term/permanent residents. Dogs are limited to 20 lbs. The downside is that they do not take credit cards, cannot arrive after dark and must have a reservation. This park is not a resort, but a convenient place to stay for those visiting friends/relatives in the San Jose area. - nkwazi

This is a beautiful but old state park with very small campsites. Park limit is 24' for trailers, and after looking at each site in the park, many of the spots designated for trailers will not accommodate the full 24'. Good for teardrops, popups and very small trailers. Further, when towing you need to come in from the south/Santa Cruz. The northern entrance is a one-way road at times and you will surely regret trying to come in that way. - Off_we_go

Actually we did not stay here but I went to this location to check it out and see about a reservation.
The website says "Upgraded and Reopened!
Guidelines RV must be no more than 20 years old or newer. After 30 days guest must vacate the grounds for a minimum of 24 hours before reapplying to return. Spaces rented on a first come, first served bases."
In addition, there is a telephone number, email address and a button you can click for a RESERVATION REQUEST.
I arrived at the RV Park and was I disappointed to see it. First of all, it has not been "Upgraded" as the website said in what I saw. It looks like it has been the same for many, many years. It is dusty. Next, the RV's that were there looked like most of them had been there for more than 30 days, several months or longer. I knocked on the door of the manager who is in a Foretravel that must be 30+ years or older but no answer. Went to the assistant manager, his motorhome looked as old or older, he said they do not take reservations, it is a first come basis and in the past year they may have had 10 vacancies. They don't try to make people leave after 30 days as that is to much trouble for them and the people in the rv's. They could if they wanted to. To much paperwork on their part.
So, don't count on what the website says in this case, it is not true at all. - Sherib


text: Purpose and VisionNewsCurrently selectedEventsAwardsContact Us Home|About Presbyterian|News|News Article Page Image Page Content Presbyterian's Pastoral Care Residents Prepare to Serve CommunityAugust 14, 2014ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Hospital chaplains have long been a source of comfort for patients and families facing crisis or illness, and Presbyterian Healthcare Services is proud to be training the next generation of hospital chaplains. Presbyterian offers the only Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) accredited program in New Mexico. Six residents will graduate from the one-year program on Friday, August 15 (Media are invited to attend the graduation at Presbyterian Hospital on Friday, August 15 at 11:30 a.m. with interviews to follow program). Chaplains have an increasingly important role in patient care, from offering spiritual guidance to helping patients make difficult end-of-life decisions. Through Presbyterian's Clinical Pastoral Education program, ordained clergy, religious orders and qualified laity get the continuing education they need to become board-certified chaplains. Residents receive hands-on education under the guidance of a certified ACPE Supervisor. As they rotate through Presbyterian facilities they learn a variety of skills, such as how to make a spiritual assessment and provide ministry to people in crisis and trauma. Rebecca Hemphill is one of the residents graduating on Friday. She was also the first chaplain resident to join Presbyterian's new pilot program, where she spent six months of her residency focusing on palliative care, which optimizes quality of life by anticipating, preventing and treating suffering. "It was an amazing experience learning to minister to patients who are facing serious illnesses and need their symptoms managed, but are not on hospice," Hemphill said. "I was able to serve on an inter-professional team of medical providers, social workers and nurse specialists, all working together to treat patients' suffering or 'total pain', which includes body, emotions, spirit and social environment." Hemphill was excited to be accepted into Presbyterian's accredited ACPE program so she wouldn't have to leave New Mexico and her family to become a board-certified chaplain. She has applied for chaplain work with Presbyterian and hopes to continue serving the organization. "As rigorous as Presbyterian's program is, without this experience I wouldn't have known what it means to be a healthcare chaplain and the dedication and spiritual commitment that it takes," she said. ### About Presbyterian Healthcare ServicesPresbyterian Healthcare Services exists to improve the health of patients, members and the communities we serve. Presbyterian was founded in New Mexico in 1908, and is the state's only private, not-for-profit healthcare system. Presbyterian has eight hospitals, a statewide health plan, and a growing multi-specialty medical group. Presbyterian is the second largest private employer in New Mexico with more than 10,000 employees.

- Description
Description / Specification
These remarkable extending tables have two hidden extension leaves that are stored inside the table.
- Available in many sizes including bespoke lengths if required
- The leg section rolls out easily to reveal the butterfly folding leaves
- A 3 position lock ensures a secure fit
- Leaf levellers allow for climatic adjustments*
- 100% solid, 0% veneer
The 'standard' option for leaves is a lengthwise grain, same direction as the table top. The 'continuous' option for leaves, available on smaller tables, means that the table top and leaves are made from continuous pieces of timber.
*Solid wood can expand and contract with seasonal changes in air moisture. This expansion can affect the level of the leaf and the table top, as can a floor that isn't level. The leaf levellers can be raised or lowered to compensate for the difference between the table top and the leaves. Clever and simple!

(Hallux Valgus)
by Editorial Staff and Contributors
A bunion is a thickened lump at the base of the big toe. It is the result of the movement of the base of the big toe away from the smaller toes. At the same time, the end of the big toe moves toward the smaller toes. This instability creates metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint inflammation and bursitis at the base of the big toe.
The exact cause of bunions is unknown, but it is likely a combination of genetics and environmental factors.
Risk Factors
Bunions are more common in women than in men. Other factors that may increase your chance of getting a bunion include:
Bunions may cause:
You should seek medical attention if you have diabetes and you are having problems with your feet.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A foot exam will be done. An x-ray of your foot will be used to diagnose the bunion. It will also show the severity and amount of damage.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Supportive Care
It is important to relieve pressure on the bunion to stop progression of the deformity. This may include:
Prescription or over-the-counter medications and/or cortisone injections may be advised to reduce pain.
Physical Therapy
A physical therapist will assess the bunion. Ultrasound may be done to help relieve inflammation and pain.
Surgery may be needed to relieve the pressure and repair the toe joint, if the other treatments fail. Surgical procedures include:

06 Aug Another Real Estate Nightmare: Builder as Lender
Businessweek.com has a story today about another factor contributing to higher foreclosure rates: the large builder as mortgage lender. As homebuilders have become large publicly-traded companies, they have access to larger pools of cash, and have used that cash to provide financing to induce people to buy their homes. Since Wall Street can then buy and re-sell the mortgages, no one seems to have cared very much that those home-buyers couldn't pay the mortgages. Or, as Businessweek.com says:
A diverse cast of characters combined to launch the once-in-a-lifetime housing boom of the past five years. Traditional mortgage companies and banks unleashed a barrage of loans, many to borrowers with iffy credit histories who didn't bother to read the fine print about upwardly mobile interest rates. Wall Street egged on the often-reckless underwriting by buying vast quantities of home loans for repackaging as securities. Now that the boom has fizzled and foreclosure rates are rising, the important role of large homebuilders as lenders is also coming into sharper focus. In addition to spitting out subdivisions, many of which now stand half-empty, builders jumped into the mortgage business to a degree they never had. Wall Street provided the same encouragement it offered other lenders. Even as the housing supply began to exceed demand last year, builders kept sales brisk by pushing adjustable-rate, interest-only, and other risky loans.
Several such builders are being investigated, and at least one class action suit has been filed, not by those home buyers, but by other property owners who allege that such practices have adversely affected property values of existing homeowners. None of that provides much-needed relief for those who have been persuaded to make ruinous loans and can't make their mortgage payments. Help for those folks must come in the form of a much-needed amendment to the Bankruptcy Code, allowing modification of such mortgage debt.

Dear Brenda,
It is hard to get my boyfriend to do anything fun with me because he is always playing his massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), World of Warcraft. I offer to buy him lunch or take him to a movie, but he insists on running instances in molten core or slaying trolls and crocolisks in Stranglethorn Vale. I'm fed up. I feel like WoW is more important than me, but every time I tell him this he just calls me a n00b. Brenda, what do I do?

We have seen many pastors visit Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum. I thought you would all be encouraged to know how these influential pastors respond to the AiG ministry and Creation Museum.
Yesterday, we were thrilled to host Pastor Michael Lewis, senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Plant City in Florida. Pastor Lewis was accompanied by his wife Lilliana and his four delightful daughters Faith, Hope, Charity, and Joy.
Pastor Lewis spoke at an AiG staff chapel, and then I had the privilege of showing them through the Creation Museum, AiG offices, and our facility housing the Ark Encounter project staff. What a blessing to interact with this family. Their four daughters were such as blessing as they soaked in all they saw and heard, and shared their heart to witness to others for the Lord Jesus. Here is what Pastor Lewis wrote to us after the visit:
My wife, four daughters and I had an incredible visit at the Creation Museum this week in Petersburg, Kentucky. The morning began with a chapel service which I was privileged to share from Joshua Chapter 1. The staff was very receptive and appreciative for the preaching of God's Word … Ken Ham, President/CEO of Answers in Genesis and The Creation Museum, guided our family on a tour of the faith enriching museum which he envisioned and designed.
Our hearts burned within us as the Bible was displayed in 3-D before our eyes from creation of the world to the corruption of sin, from corruption to the catastrophe of the worldwide flood, from the catastrophe to the confusion of the tower of Babel, from the confusion to Christ and His cross. Ken Ham gave to us a behind the scenes tour of the Answers in Genesis studios and the new Ark Encounter. Dr. Ham has envisioned a full- size Noah's Ark with a Biblical theme park which will be used evangelistically to engage a post-modern culture with the truth of the Gospel. Jason Nave, [AiG staff member] was a gracious host giving to our family … a V.I.P. treatment.
Here is a photograph of the Lewis family and me taken in front of the mock up of one of the exhibit sections that will be within the Ark (96 such exhibit sections will exist in the Ark):
Pastor Lewis continued, "The Creation Museum is a must see for anyone sincerely pursuing the truth of science, for it places you face to face with the reality of the Creator. Parents will want your children exposed to the amazing presentation of God's Word which is absent in much of educational circles today."
Pastor Lewis described the Noah's Ark project as a "captivating vision" and stated, "this amazing project … I believe will bring many to faith in the Lord Jesus."
New Lucy Exhibit Open SaturdayThe new high tech Lucy exhibit will be ready for Creation Museum visitors to see beginning this Saturday. Installation is well under way. Here is an artist's mock up of what part of the exhibit will look like:
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

Society And The Disabled
The medical aspects of a disability are undeniable. A person who is disabled whether from birth or through accident or illness has certain impairments that disallow them full physical or mental function.
Wherein the past society has referred to such individuals as handicapped a new designation has now been made and we refer to such people as 'the disabled'.
Society has also made physical changes to enhance the lives of those members of society who have a disability through providing accommodations such as allocated parking and wheelchair ramps. This practice has become known as 'fostering accessibility'. Those who have disabilities in our current society have greater access to shopping, restaurants, office buildings, and even medical facilities then people did even twenty years ago. Public parks, campgrounds and nature trails have also been designed to allow people with disabilities to enjoy the benefits of these public areas that were formerly off limits to them.
An area where society has failed to move forward is in their referring to and their addressing of people who have disabilities. As a society we habitually address the disability before addressing the person. I first became aware of this when my husband was injured in a cave in that resulted in a severe foot and leg injury. I was constantly asked about his 'disability' rather than about him. I was equally constantly at a loss for how to answer and it took me some time to figure out the reason was I saw him and not the disability. Maybe this is because I grew up with it. My grandmother, who was confined to a wheelchair after a leg amputation, lived with us. The only time I can recall having any attention on her 'disability' was when my mother would double park the car or leave it where it was blocking another vehicle while she dashed in to one place or another. She would always leave the keys and tell my grandmother to move it if anybody came. It was a 1954 Rover and I could not for the life of me figure out how my grandmother was supposed to "move it". This is when I learned to pray, hard and fast.
Our language is the blind man or the disabled woman rather than the man who is blind or the woman who has a disability. This language indicates that we perceive the disability before perceiving the person. Doing so colours our interactions with those who have a disability. While those of us who have able bodies base our interactions with each other based on who we are the same regard is not extended to those who have a disability. Rather it is seen that the person is their disability.
As you or I would find it disconcerting to have somebody talk about us as though we were not there so do does the person with a disability. The sad fact is though that more often than not people will speak to or ask questions of the companion rather than addressing the person with the disability directly. They are people first and their disability may be well down the list in the broader spectrum of all that they are.
There are any number of false precepts about people with disabilities that interfere with our interactions with them. There are those among us who actually resent the fact that people with disabilities get 'disability benefits'. As I have stated in my hub, Disability Discrimination Equals A Lack Of Respond Ability,disability benefits is an oxymoron. A few of the other assumptions that interfere with our relationships with the disabled are, the disabled person needs or wants assistance; a person who has one disability also has others (eg. they are hard of hearing or are language impaired); they are unhappy with life and only want you to feel sorry for them; they are easily offended; their companion is only there to look after them.
You ask a the person with a disability if they require assistance the same way you would ask anyone else. If they do require help ask what they need or want rather than assuming that you know, just as you would for an able bodied person. If they turn down your offer of assistance it is no more a personal affront than it would be for anyone else saying "No thank you."
The common assumptions we make and the misconceptions we have about those among us who live with disabilities serve only to add to the challenges they face on a daily basis. It is not their problem that we have forgotten that they are people first and that as such they deserve the same respect and regard as we would give any other member of our society. We extend ourselves, lend ourselves and reach out to each other every day of our lives. The same rule applies whether able bodied or no, you treat others the way you want to be treated.

God, I feel like I shloud be takin notes! Great work
raisingme~ great hub and close to my heart along with some of the other commenters. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis- a recent diagnosis, but already debilitating. I think I must be in a separate group because I am applying for disability benefits but the just say we know you can't work right now but maybe someday you can, well someday doesn't pay the bills and they hav given me no prodctive information on what I am capable of doing. I can't work and I'm not disabled "enough" so it's been a huge blow to not fit into either category. My disability is not completely noticeable so that makes it harder. When I open a door, it kills my hands, excruciating pain, and often I get dirty looks if I am unable to hold it open long enough for the person behind me. Sometimes I am really slow and people look at me, age 35, fairly fit, and wonder what my problem is. Yes it's tough and I'm glad you wrote this hub.
Cari Jean~ I wanted to address your comment about other kids staring at you daughter. I do not mean any disrespect first of all, but I think most of the time they are trying to understand and a parent making or teaching their child to not look will make them want to know why they can't look, is it shameful to be curious. I think it is best for kids to familiarize and be curious about how those with disabilities handle life and cope with challenges- it is encouraging. I definitely do not think parents should allow rude comments though- manners should be taught for that. I remember as a kid I watched, ok stared, at other kids with disabilities to learn about them and eventually familiarizing myself with them, made me want to get to know more. Maybe I am rude for looking at people who handle life better than me with less ability- I think it's encouraging. I got stared at a lot being the tallest girl growing up, but I never took it personally. How does your daughter feel about other kids staring, maybe since it is likely to happen, you can make it positive and not saying anything in front of her like those kids should get some manners, but instead say they're just curious or ask her about times when she has wanted to stare at something or someone because she was curious. Maybe a strange example but my dad is a transsexual and I have totally gotten used to people staring, but at the same time I don't blame them. I'd rather people try to understand or figure things out for themselves than feel ashamed to want to know more. I really hate when people try to not look on purpose or act like anything is different- fact is there is something different and we should not all be the same.
My daughter has cp and is in a wheelchair and I can honestly say I am very fortunate in how society treats my daughter. Many people have told me they see her as a person first before they see her disability. People are constantly coming up and talking to her - maybe it's because she has such a beautiful smile or it's just her wonderful personality. The hardest time I have is when other kids stare at her - I really feel like asking them if their parents have taught them any manners.
Anyway, great hub!
People would talk to me rather than to my Mum, after her stroke, and she would stick her tongut out behind their backs. I was glad she retained her sense of humour but found it hard to keep a straight face.
Terrifically personal hub for me as my son is 'disabled' though he tries so hard not to be. He is totally discriminated against because of his vision. It fluctuates so much that he can be severely low vision one day and legally blind the next - and he just found out he has a cataract in his remaining eye to go along with all the other problems. It is a horrible thing to say but he would be 'better off' if he were blind - in terms of getting services and help. He has to walk to bus stops at all hours of the day and night and an 8-hour day usually takes him about 12-15 to work and commute since he cannot obviously drive. And still he fights for just getting transportation help! Totally frustrating as he is one of the kindest, gentlest, incredibly intelligent people you could ever meet - though I may be a tad prejudiced. The looks though that folks sometimes give him because of his vision, I'd like to smack them all but he actually deals with it quite well....unlike his ma!
What a great hub. Good on you for pointing this out, people who have disabilities are people first. Rated up, well done RM.
right on again!

With her classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters—Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser—delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful sequel to Outlander.
For twenty years, Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the mysteries of Scotland's mist-shrouded Highlands.
Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as shocking as the events that gave it birth: the secret of an ancient circle of standing stones, the secret of a love that transcends centuries, and the truth of a man named Jamie Fraser—a Highland warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.
Claire's spellbinding journey continues through the intrigue-ridden French court and the menace of Jacobite plots, to the Highlands of Scotland, through war and death in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.
Diana Gabaldon is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the wildly popular Outlander novels—Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross, A Breath of Snow and Ashes (for which she won a Quill Award and the Corine International Book Prize), An Echo in the Bone, and Written in My Own Heart's Blood—as well as the related Lord John Grey books Lord John and the Private Matter, Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade, Lord John and the Hand of Devils, and The Scottish Prisoner; one work of nonfiction, The Outlandish Companion; and the Outlander graphic novel The Exile. She lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, with her husband.

The surprise
During the last couple of months, LG has made several announcements regarding its line of smartphones. These include the already popular G4, G Flex 2 and a few others. Recently LG gave public a glimpse of its new smartwatch at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015. However, the company has not officially launched or presented it yet.
New smartwatch
A strange smartwatch got public attention at the press conference of car manufacturer Audi at CES 2015. One of the officials of Audi controlled the self-driving car using this smartwatch. This new smartwatch has a circular display just like that of LG G Watch R. Nonetheless, it must be a new model because there are three buttons on the right side of the device. At the moment, it is being assumed that it runs Android Wear; however, that is not confirmed yet.
LG's silence
LG is not saying anything about this smartwatch for the time being. However, people are making random guesses that they will come to know about the details of this product in the coming days. A few weeks ago, there was a rumor that LG would be showing a new smartwatch at MWC 2015 which is going to be held during March 2015. The rumored smartwatch is expected to be G Watch R2 which is LTE-enabled. It is not sure whether the smartwatch seen at Audi's CES press conference was the same smartwatch or not. Therefore, people will have to wait for some time.

After an ill-fated preseason tour last year that took them to Australia and China, Real Madrid are returning to more familiar grounds this year with the news that the Spanish giants will be in the USA for their preseason this summer.
For five five consecutives years over the reigns of Mourinho (3) and Ancelotti (2), Madrid based their US camps on the west coast, but to cut down on travel this year, Real will stay on the east coast and play three matches in the International Champions Cup.
Three high profile friendlies for The Whites, but the biggest has to be the one on August 3 against former manager Carlo Ancelotti and his Bayern Munich side at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
With PSG and Bayern still in the Champions League hunt with Real, will we see a repeat of the Champions League final this sumner in the US?
Real Madrid USA Tour Schedule 2016
July 27: Real Madrid vs. PSG Columbus, Ohio
July 30: Chelsea vs. Real Madrid location TBD
Aug 3: Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich East Rutherford, NJ
The potential fly in the ointment of Real Madrid's preseason plans is that Real currently sit third in the league just two points ahead of fourth place Villareal. The two meet each other in Matchday 34 (weeekend of 19/20 April) at the Santiago Bernabeu.
That date could be important because of the unthinkable happens and Villareal overtakes Zinedine Zidane's side, then Real will for forced to play in the final qualifying round of the Champions League, something that could impact the tour.

Cambridge, UK: Two cute tiger cubs could play a very important role in helping zoologists keep their species alive.
The new Amur (Siberian) cubs at Linton Zoo are genetically important to a biodiverse population of captive tigers, which may one day be needed to help reintroduce the big cats back into the wild.
The cubs were born on Wednesday, April 19, to Deja, a 10- year-old female, and her mate, Mirko, an eight-year-old male.
They spent their first few weeks inside, but have begun to explore their outside enclosure – giving the public their first glimpse.
Kim Simmonds, of Linton Zoo, said several thousands of pounds had been raised at the zoo in aid of wild tiger conservation.
She said: "Education is provided to help us understand the current situation for this magnificent cat and the plans for their survival.
"The image of the tiger is a powerful symbol of the Far East and one which man has borrowed to denote authority, might and virility. This may in the long run say more about our own weaknesses and insecurity, especially if we allow them to become extinct.
"In the meantime, the two new tiger cubs are helping to reinforce an important conservation message, while everything falls prey to their relentless curiosity."
Just 100 years ago, there were about 100,000 tigers in the wild.
Now there are thought to be less than 6,000 animals, with only five of the original eight sub-species surviving.
The only animal which hunts tiger is man, even today (Wednesday, 23 August), in spite of international protection and worldwide recognition of their critically endangered status.
Linton Zoo actively supports tiger conservation. It takes part in an internationally-recognised breeding programme to keep up a biodiverse population that may one day be needed to reintroduce tigers into the wild.

Strawberry Cinnamon Sugar Muffins
I'm slowly emerging out of lemon territory now that berries are starting to show up in our market. Organic strawberries are finally arriving (yay!!) and it's so nice to have a new fruit to play with in the kitchen (the Ithaca Farmer's market started last weekend, and while I am thrilled to have it back, selection at the moment includes potatoes, more root vegetables, and some herbs. Delicious, no doubt, but nothing muffin-worthy fruit-wise yet.) When I saw the strawberries, I knew that I would make these muffins — they've been a long time coming.
I've been thinking about them ever since I posted about the oatmeal cinnamon breakfast bread, and waxed poetic about how my mom used to make all kinds of muffins growing up. It got me to thinking: of all the kinds that she made, one of my favorites was a strawberry muffin that had cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top. It only made one or two appearances; pumpkin and zucchini were more our standbys (and that was fine by me) — but I haven't ever forgotten those strawberry muffins. The way the strawberries just melted in your mouth, and the gentle crunchy tickle of the cinnamon sugar on top…they are a great taste memory of mine. I was telling B about them the other day and decided I'd try to recreate them for us, and for my mom too.
I used the basic muffin recipe in the Joy of Cooking, tweaking it to use buttermilk for the liquid, adding some cinnamon to the batter, and using half white whole wheat flour (I know, I know, I just can't resist that substitution sometimes!) I also rubbed the zest of a lemon into the sugar, just because I love lemon and strawberry together.
After folding in some diced strawberries, I used my dough scoop to fill my cheery little silicone muffin cups…these were a gift from a friend, and every time I see them I think to myself "I really need to make muffins/cupcakes more often." Nothing like a little color in the morning to wake you up before you've had your coffee!
After sprinkling a little cinnamon sugar on top, into the oven they went.
And about 20 minutes later, we had beautifully puffed, tasty strawberry cinnamon sugar muffins. I sent this recipe along to my mom, so I hope she enjoys them as much as we did!
And — you probably won't be surprised to see this — I spooned some lemon curd on mine. 🙂
I'm also sending these muffins (well, not literally) over to Michelle for this month's Snackshots event — the theme is muffins! Yum!
Strawberry Cinnamon Sugar Muffins
If you don't have buttermilk, you can use milk or yogurt. If you're using milk, omit the baking soda (keep the baking soda if you're using yogurt.)
2 cups all-purpose flour (can substitute up to 1 cup white whole wheat flour, or whole grain pastry flour)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup sugar
zest of 1 lemon
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup diced strawberries
cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling on top
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or silicone muffin cups.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate large bowl, use your fingers to rub together the lemon zest and sugar until the sugar is moistened and fragrant. Add the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla and whisk together until blended. Add the melted butter and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together with a rubber spatula. Add the diced strawberries and fold in, just until distributed.
Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin cups. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of each, then bake for 15-18 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed with your finger.
Makes 12 muffins.

These look so pretty and I just love the cinnamon sugar topping! I love your idea of incorporating whole grains into the recipe. This would be delicious anytime of day!
April 13, 2008 11:58 am
I was just thinking of making some muffins this week, so I'll have to keep the event in mind.
These look YUMMY. And I love the bright muffin cups!
April 13, 2008 2:19 pm
LOVE it. I'm always on a quest for more interesting flavors in muffins (so tired of the usual blueberry, apple, etc). This sounds wonderful, and I too, love lemon zest and strawberry together. In fact, try a nice healthy dollop of your lemon curd on top of diced strawberries, strawberry pie or strawberry yogurt. Delish.
Carrie permalinkApril 13, 2008 2:41 pm
Just made these for afternoon snack with the lemon curd! YUM. Nick loves lemon, so he's in heaven! I love your blog… wish I had your time. I do some of your recipes here and there… you test it for me, so I know it is good! Until I have time for my own, I will live through your blog! Many of your thoughts are swirling in my head also… like the lovely fruit tarts! Keep it coming, so you keep my cooking thoughts going, while I attempt to raise two kids (soon) and keep a hand in the kitchen also! HA!
BTW- I have trouble with my silicone muffin liners releasing… you? Do you spray them at all?
bakingblonde permalinkApril 13, 2008 4:58 pm
Those look so yummy! I love strawberries!
April 13, 2008 5:25 pm
Yummm, these look delicious. I think I might make some tonight after my roast comes out of the oven.
April 13, 2008 9:18 pm
April 15, 2008 9:14 am
you have left a favorite of mine (lemons) to go to another one (cinnamon) 🙂
These are yummy muffins!
April in CT permalinkApril 21, 2008 8:27 pm
I made a version of these tonight and they're so yummy. I didn't have any lemon zest so I left that out & used half whole wheat flour in mine. I was in such a hurry to get them into the oven I forgot the cinnamon sugar for the top!! They're quite tasty as is though and will be good for breakfast in the morning. Thanks!
melissa permalinkJune 16, 2008 4:13 pm
just made them!! they are really yum!..subsituted the buttermilk for vanilla yogurt, and about a 1/2 ts of vanilla extract. (using what i have in the house!)
Thanks for the recipe!
June 18, 2008 6:07 pm
These were really good! I followed the recipe exactly – it was easy and much tastier than anything out of a box. Your pictures also inspired me to finally get silicone muffin cups. My batter made 16 muffins, not 12, so I just pulled out 4 of the cups and baked the alongside the pan.
Ruth permalinkApril 14, 2009 10:22 am
Thanks so much for this recipe. They were delicious!!
cynthia permalinkApril 14, 2009 5:34 pm
i just wanted to share that i made the recipe with blueberries and they came out DELICIOUS! i'm making them again tonight w/strawberries and i can't wait! thank you for sharing 🙂
May 17, 2009 8:56 pm
Great recipe! I made them today (without the spices, and with orange instead of lemon, because we'd just OD'd on cinnamon) and they came out perfectly. Thanks so much!
Ryan McLeod permalinkJune 3, 2009 6:15 pm
Just made these! Doubled the recipe and used way to many strawberries 😛

During our trip to the coast, we went to Morro Bay and kayaked in the Morro Bay Estuary. We paddled around a bit and then headed to the Morro Bay Sand Spit that separates the bay from the Pacific Ocean.
|Kayaking Selfie
We parked the kayak on the sand and walked from the bay side of the dunes to the Pacific Ocean side.
This Google Map shows Morro Bay, the Estuary and the sand spit where we went. We rented our kayak from Kayak Horizons in Morro Bay. That red star on the map shows approximately where the shop is located. The blue arrow is pointing to the spot where we parked the kayak and the red arrow is the beach area of the sand spit where we ended up.
See that yellow double kayak on the left in the photo below? That's the one we rented from Kayak Horizons. We parked it there and then walked over the dunes to the Pacific Ocean side of the sand spit.
There's a roped-off path leading to the beach on the Pacific Ocean side of the sand spit.
That's my husband up ahead of me.
And there he is at the shoreline.
This stretch of beach is so pretty and quite secluded. We were the only people here at the time we visited. This isn't the first time we've been here. We've come here with our kids in the past.
My husband and I enjoyed walking along the beach, getting our feet wet, and picking up sea shells.
While we were enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean, I recorded a short video using my cell phone. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for stopping by!

Paying for diapers can be a struggle for low-income families and a new study by Yale and the Connecticut-based National Diaper Bank Network has found that some moms have been so cash-strapped at times that they have not been able to afford diapers.
Others said they have tried to make diapers last longer by reusing them at times.
"Some were taking off their kids' diapers and scraping off the contents and then putting them back on the child," Megan Smith, assistant professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine told NBC News. "While that has an incredible impact on the health of the child in terms of urinary tract infections and rashes, it also impacts the self-esteem of the mom."
Smith is the main author of the study, "Diaper Need and Its Impact on Child Health,' which has been published in the journal "Pediatrics."
Of the women interviewed, 30 percent said they'd experienced a time when they could not afford to buy diapers and 8 percent said they've tried to make diapers last longer by reusing them at times.
Mothers who cannot afford diapers are more likely to report symptoms of depression and anxiety, according to an article Yale News posted online about the research.
Smith told Yale that the stresses can affect a child's development.
"High levels of stress and depression in a parent can be associated with low achievement in school and mental health problems that can follow a child for a lifetime," Smith told Yale News.
The need is so big, Yury Maciel-Andrews of the Diaper Bank, said that they received calls every day.
"It's really heartbreaking," she said. "Agencies come and pick them up and we deliver to them and then they give to the families."
The diaper bank distributes not only diapers, but also formula and diaper bags.
"So when the community organizations come to pick up diapers, they can choose the items and they give them to these families," Maciel-Andrews said.
The Yale and Diaper Bank study recommends that pediatricians ask parents about their need for diapers and refer families to a local diaper distribution service to reduce parenting stress.
Mary-Kathryn Petrone works at local hospital and donates bags of diapers to the bank every month.
"Anything that we can do to help," Mary-Kathryn Petrone said.
