16 October 2016 – Truth-in-advertising moment, I'm back in Toronto, but with one last Vancouver post to publish — one last tribute.
Sally & I hit a couple of her favourite north-shore parks. First up, the Maplewood Conservation Area, a bird sanctuary owned by the District of North Vancouver & managed by its Parks Department, but operated by the Wild Bird Trust of British Columbia.
Before any trails, before even the welcoming notice board, there is a large pond. It's open on one side to the parking lot, overhung by forest on the other. "Come," says Sally, tugging my arm. "Look!"
I expect bird life, something exotic, I hope.
Not bird life, but still pretty exotic.
Three shanties, a 2010 sculptural installation by artist Ken Lum, models of three of the many squatters' shanties that lined the mudflats here during the first half of the 20th century. Left to right, today's echo of the one-time homes of Malcolm Lowry (who completed Under the Volcano while living here 1940-1954), artist Tom Burrows, & Dr. Paul Spong (who later led Greenpeace's Save the Whales campaign).
On down to Maplewood Flats. The shanties long gone, no echo (for outsiders) of the political & physical turmoil that brought that era to a close. Just the north-shore waters of the Burrard Inlet, now a protected ecosystem.
We have already read the notice-board October Survey of the birds spotted to date.
Impressive! And frustrating, since we see none of them (beyond the usual gulls).
Something else we don't see as we move about, an omission for which we are grateful:
From Maplewood to Cates Park.
A gate suggests it is now more than an ever-so-Anglo "Cates Park."
And it is.
This is Cates Park / Whey-ah-Wichen, its management being guided by the 2001 protocol & cultural agreement between the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation & the District of North Vancouver.
We see all around us an even broader "cultural agreement" — the great diversity of ages & ethnic origins happily sharing the space. A group picnic behind us, with grandpa (I assume) playing the accordion; dog-walkers & frisbee-players to one side of us; and on the beach below, a lively toddler with her supportive parents, tackling & conquering a physical challenge.
The unoccupied lifeguard stand is irresistible. Daddy stands protectively close, but lets her clamber up on her own.
Success. "I'm queen of the castle!" she crows. Mummy & daddy applaud & record the moment.
Daddy asks permission to join her. She deliberates. Then grants permission.
"Daddy's the king!" One little foot shoots straight forward, in utter delight at how wonderful this all is.
Sal & I are still smiling as we finally head off, wandering a path that will wind us down to beach level. But first, the peace, the calm beauty, of the trees. And the resonance, the echo, of the trail name: Malcolm Lowry Trail.
Then the beach. We've pulled on our jackets, but the late-afternoon sun still warms our faces & the rocks beneath us.
We prowl a little farther, catch a glimpse of the docks of wealthy private homes just beyond the park boundary.
Back to the car on a different trail through the same woods, granting us another glimpse of another world, this one very tiny & tucked in among tree roots.
Seen, the miniature, physical world; unseen, the geo-cache app that leads players to this spot.
And now I sit in a sunny/cloudy Toronto morning, and Vancouver itself is the echo. A delightful echo.

February 2018, and the doors to Kalukanda House have finally opened
After almost a year of flying back and forth to Sri Lanka every 8-10 weeks, the villa is complete and will be welcoming guests from 20th February….www.kalukandahouse.com
This post will reveal a few of the finished photos and tell you what you can do both at and from the villa if you just had a week to spare in Sri Lanka.
Whether you stay with your family or come along with a group of friends -there is heaps to do…
The last few months have been a hectic whirl of finalising details, buying furniture and fixtures and tearing hair out over deadlines – the January visit was booked to style and dress the house – encouragement of that nature re-energised the troops for the final push .
We arrived on 20th January, a sunny Saturday afternoon to stay in the house for the very first time…the whole site was busy until about 15 minutes before we pulled in and crunched our way up the gravel path to the house….
All the furniture that I had bought or commissioned had been delivered and installed according to my instructions, boxes of table lamps were ready to be un-packed, hooks and pictures were waiting to be hung….walking around the house and seeing the beds made up, incense burning, all the lights on and an ice cold Lion Beer being handed to me by our smiling manager – I couldn't do much beyond gulping it…. and asking for another…it's difficult to find words in that moment you realise that a concept and building site have finally become a finished home..
So, before telling you what we got up to, and indeed what YOU can get up to at the house, without further ado – here are a few pictures taken by my talented good friend and photographer Janie Airey.
The house is set in it's own private, gated and secure gardens and comes with a 12m x 5m swimming pool.
The entrance drive is screened from the pool by planting including Palms and Frangipanee.
The rear gardens are a beautiful assortment of slender, tall Palms, Frangipanee, flowers and a shady, open sided cabana nestled in amongst it all..
There is a large double height living space – it's really nice hanging out in here beneath the custom made lights and fan
There are 4 double bedrooms all with bespoke 4 poster beds, a 5th study/bedroom has a custom made Antique White daybed
The veranda wraps around the house and has a 10 seater dining table 2 planters chairs and antique planters sofa
A teak wood staircase leads to 2 upper double bedrooms with balconies overlooking the rear garden.
I love the antique Siddhartha I bought a while back – he greets you as you enter the villa.
There is a full set of pictures on the Kalukanda House website along with further details on the house and how to book…..but first, read on to see the kinds of experiences you can have staying at the villa and some details on booking..
Tried and tested – what you can do at Kalukanda House
We have landscaped the gardens to work with the existing, extensive natural plantlife. One of the wonderful things about this spot is the enormous variety of trees and the absolutely stunning 15m high rock face that is our back wall. A few trees were cut down in order to create space into the rear gardens and the cliff wall has been cleared so you can see it's incredible textured composition and beautiful climbing plants.
Friend and guest Dylan Ayaloo was invited to come and check the house out to see how it could work for a yoga retreat. Dylan is an incredible, international teacher and yogi whose classes I used to follow in London. Sadly he has moved away from the London scene but he IS now planning and running international retreats. We will be planning a few yoga retreats with Dylan at the house (watch this space for future retreat information)!
Dylan took Janie and I through an early morning practice – working out beneath the palms and in the midst of all that dappled light was something else; I would encourage anybody who comes here to do just that! Yoga mats are available at the house ready for anybody wanting to practice.
Dylan setting up to take Janie and I through our yoga paces.
Posing for my camera. Dylan is an incredible teacher and yogi – he teaches all levels, so don't worry if you can't do this!
The garden is visited by some wonderful local wildlife – and you will spot small families of shy monkeys coming through during the cooler parts of the day. We have coconut Palm trees, Jack fruit and Frangipanee – recent landscaping has also incorporated Heliconea, Bouganvillea, Ginger Lily and more – photos to follow.
There is plenty of opportunity to learn how to surf along the coastline – just minutes from the house. Whether you want a few lessons from a pro, or to just grab a board and go, the water is warm and clear and the waves wonderful for all ages..
Some nice spots to hang out for lunch and play are just a stone's throw away…with lovely food and a glass of something cold for grown ups too
The local fishermen are just amazing! Many go out through the night and come back with their haul early morning. Kalukanda House has a kitchen where you can ask our chef to take you through a few tips on how to make the perfect Sri Lankan fish curry, along with vegetables and other local dishes.
If you can set your alarm for an early wake up call – it is really worth heading to Mirissa Harbour when the boats come in with their catch – an enormous variety of fish can be bought there and taken to the villa ready to be cooked by you and our chef for dinner…
Mirissa Harbour at 7am – a misty and lively start to the day
A cheeky fisherman..
Weighing in a haul..
Annual Events – Galle Literary Festival
This annual event held every January is hugely popular. Time for us was pretty short as we had plenty of "work" to do finishing the house for the photoshoot, but we took a break one day and watched Sebastian Faulks and Shabrani Basu in conversation – fantastic! Two really live wires talking about the inspiration behind their recent fictional books set in WW1. There were plenty of other interesting talks and events to view over the 5 day festival – worth keeping an eye open for 2019 and beyond if you feel like mixing a little sun and culture..
Sri Lankans LOVE cricket!! It is played on every spare patch of grass. Galle Cricket ground is a breezy tuk tuk ride away and is an international ground where many an exciting match has taken place. This year England are coming to play in October and November – so the Barmy Army and Co will be out in full swing. GCC is a truly stunning ground, set just outside the walls of Galle Fort – a World Heritage site.
(photo by others)
World Heritage Site – Galle Fort
Historic Galle Fort is a beautiful Dutch fort that is teaming with a cosmopolitan crowd, locals and stunning architecture to boot. Bijoux shops selling jewellery, antiques, art and more abound…definately worth a wander along the ramparts and through the lanes where you can stop off for a cup of tea at the Galle Fort Hotel or a delicious ice cream at the Pedlars Inn Cafe..here's a teensy snippet to give you a flavour for it..
Excursions and other experiences across Sri Lanka
We have a man in Havanna! (well Colombo) who is a Sri Lankan and not only knows the island inside out, but can create an amazing holiday for you if you would like to weave a stay at Kalukanda House in with a further extended stay – details to follow.
And more ! I could go on but will save it for next time..
There are plenty more things I will write about in the next newsletter….there is so much more you can do from the villa – including visiting a tea plantation and having a tea tasting experience, taking a guided tour of Galle Fort itself and even taking a trip on safari to see elephants, buffalo, crocodiles, leopards (if you are lucky) and a whole host of beautiful birds…
After all that, you can also make like us…after our photoshoot day capturing the house in various moments …
…….We celebrated with a couple of beers on the sand! Dylan had posed for me like a trooper, Janie had taken gazillions of photos of the house and we were good and ready to have a few sundowners on the beach at sunset, just 100m from the house. This photo really does not do it justice and I apologise for that….but the sand is literally golden….and that sunset!…this is "our" beach – ok so we have to share it with others but it's really quiet and feels like ours…
…and SO!….. our doors are open!…
Would you like to stay at Kalukanda House?
The house is staffed with full time manager, full time house-keeper and full time caretaker/gardener. A chef will rustle up delicious meals at the house and our staff are eager and willing to look after you and make sure you have an amazing time.
There is a calender on the website with real time information on confirmed bookings – you will not be able to book through it but you can see which dates are free – just drop us an email or call with any questions you may have and to enquire about a booking to email@example.com
In future posts, I will show you more about what the house can offer as we arrange a few interesting experiences and have a few more ourselves. In the meantime, please feel free to browse the website for a full set of pictures and contact me if you would like to find out more about availability and rates to you.

Saturday, February 25, 2012
Over and over and over, the cries of protest and rage by people who have felt the pain of exile—that is to say, all of us. We are afraid of being alone, angry that our people might decide that we are not their people.
Maggie Harrison's been creating the latest variation on this stir, telling blog viewers "YOU ARE NOT A QUAKER (so please stop calling yourself one)." All the comments and responses are heartfelt, but I find myself sliding into a tiring deja vu-like state. Who is a Quaker blah blah blah, how can we all call ourselves Quakers blah blah blah, how dare you call me out as not a Quaker blah blah blah... on and on an on.
I do like the foundational idea of Maggie's work. It is to shed the clothing we have put over our spiritual nakedness: the pretense we know what we're doing, which covers the shame we feel for being imperfect.
How I long to take all the names I wear—Quaker, non-theist, Democrat, American, Cartographer, White, Male, Straight—and take them off one by one like pieces of clothing, to be able to stand there, shivering slightly because it is February in Minnesota. And be joined by others who have also taken off their name-clothes. Not so we can have some kind of nameless orgy here on the tundra, but so we can see each other a little more truly, even just for as long as it takes before our toes begin to freeze.
And then, eventually, I and my fellows will put on at least some of those name-clothes again, and go off into the world, because we homo sapiens need these labels. This is how we make ourselves into a people. This is how we say who we are.
So why do I find myself wearied? I feel like this is becoming old territory to me, and I want to stop going around in circles, coming back to the same arguments. I want to move on.
I want three simple, difficult things:
1. I want to be allowed to wear the labels that fit me. I want to be an American, a Minnesotan, a Quaker, a straight male, of European descent, a geek, a morris dancer, a cartographer, a father, a son, a husband, someone of middling economic means, a Case, a resident of Northeast Minneapolis, a beer-drinker, a lover of various musics, a song-leader, a person, a member of the species homo sapiens... I want to be able to wear any and all of these labels, and I want to be able to participate in the groups these labels imply that I belong to.
2. I want to not have outsiders to these groups assume they know what it means when I wear any label. I want people to approach unfamiliar identities with humility—either curiously, or seeking some other label they can use if they just don't have the energy to learn about the unfamiliar label.
3. I want my fellows in the groups I belong to, to recognize that identity groups are fluid. Organizations may not be: it may be necessary to keep the inside/outside relationship of the group clear. But no organization will ever be able to exactly line itself up with people who hold identities, not least because all those identities are themselves fluid, and depend on spending time and attention: I might move to St Paul, and while I would then hold Northeast Minneapolis as a dear place in my heart, I would have less say in what Northeast means, being absent.
I think this last is really important, and points to a shortcut in our name-labels we too easily take. We think that holding an identity ought to be like earning a medal, that it ought to secure a relationship to a group, permanently. If you've earned it, you can put it away in a drawer and pull it out when needed. And some relationships are like that: the conversation picks up where it left off years ago. But some don't. Most don't.
I have a recurring dream, where I go back to my old college, and I'm so out of place. I haven't checked my mailbox for months or years. I'm not sure where my stuff is: I still have a dorm room, but haven't used it for a long time, and I need to find my stuff to bring it to where I'm living now. Professors have changed, and I don't know what courses to take for that one last term I need to get my degree.
Identity labels are a shorthand for membership in a group, for belonging. If we do not act on those labels, if we do not live them out, we pull away from holding them. This is a terrifying prospect for most of us, because it means we are that much more alone. Even typing the second sentence in this paragraph, part of me was saying, "Nooooooo!"
Being a Quaker, to go back to Maggie Harrison, feels like it ought to belong to the territory of common practice, or creed (or belief anyway), or following a common teacher or guide. All these things we recognize as the hallmarks of "religious" commonality. But some of it, perversely, is just wearing the same "clothes," the very clothes Maggie urges us to cast off. We are Quakers because we choose to wear that label.
Can real nakedness be the basis of identity? Could it be that all the stuff we use to bind ourselves together is getting in the way? If we wish to utterly open ourselves to truth, to go out naked into February, do we need to shed the very name itself? Is the truest Quaker the one who accepts no common identity—no meetinghouse, no clerk, nothing? How could such a Quakerism survive? How would it avoid frostbite?

Nearly a quarter century ago, I was a member of a nudist community. It was a life that held no lurid moments and was open to having a prayer group on Sundays. We experienced the joy of birth and grieved death and loss. Eventually, people moved on and the community died of neglect.
One thing that seems to be a commonality among Quakers is that we are all individually radical and our meetings reflect a sort of homogeneous pocket of radicality. Meetings may fade away but Quakers will always find one another and bless the world.

I think it is interesting for a cartographer to be grappling with social location, since social location (as represented by what you call labels) and physical location bleed into each other. So when you speak of labels being fluid, identities never being static, and so forth, I would like to hear you reflect more on how that truth finds shape in space. In other words, if labels represent groupings that are almost always to degrees porous around the edges, and we all wear different labels at once all the time, then how are the physical places that correspond (more and less?) to those labels also connected, related, or bleeding into each other? And what are the implications for our responsibilities to those places?

Dan: Actually, I disagree with your initial premise, that social location is reprersented by labels. Labels (generic terms that apply to members of a group) represent presence within a social territory. To use a cartographic analogy, it's the difference between point and area objects.
Identities are fluid because there is no such thing as a pure, impermeable territory. But by identity here, I am referring to generically labeled identity elements, not the aspects of ourselves that are bound up in our unique individuality.
I hope this all makes sense...

There were Quakers before this label was attached to them and they accepted it. The same is true for the first Christians. We start with a group of people and by the very fact that they accept or agree on a name they recognise that they are different in some way from others. When did our species become human? When it(actually a mother and her daughters) started using language to name one another and everything in the world about them because of their special self-awareness. Communion is also uniquely human. Our most distant ancestorsa collected, prepared and shared food and drink at communal meals and knew how to say thank you. Whether this has anything to do with a bit of hocus pokus performed by a priest is another question but language is already a form of symbolism. We can coimmunicate by sign or sound language. All this began in groups living from hand to mouth when survival was fron day to day so they had to be real communities or go under. Of course there were failures and as life got nore comfortable in bigger and bigger populations things got more and more complicated and very often for the worse. The trick is to keep the caring sharing nature of basic human communities while adapting to greater numbers and being open to newcomers. I honestly think that the Quaker way, when and if undeerstood and practised (by keeping Qarterly Meetings for example), does this and could do it on a far wider scale. I refer to
the way we start with small local communities and link them to larger ones covering larger areas without forming little empires with top-down leadership. ( I am saying that Quakers could be wholly human, and that is so rare as to be very special indeed. Those who join us have to make some difficult choices and adaptations that threaten their immature ideas of self-hood: "He who would save his life will lose it". It is all there in the teaching of Jesus but who is listening? I feel that we are over-using and therefore abusing the label "Quaker£ at the moment by applying it to all kinds of axtivities that are worthwhile but not special to us. "We cannot make the name a legal patent or prevent anyone from taking it. We just have to give a convincing demonstration og what it means in the life of al our Leetings, starting with he dmallest and most local.

Well, it is about 13 months since you wrote this post, and I have just now come across it--and the related posts by others about Quakers and "nakedness."
Your post reminded me of the phrase "refiner's fire" as it relates to Quakerism. For one thing, what Maggie and other young Friends are writing about are not new ideas--well, they are new to these Friends, I suppose, and that's exciting!
But the "foundation" of Maggie's work exists among early Friends, which is what got me searching for where I came across the phrase "refiner's fire." Maybe you've come across that phrase as well...?
Here are three links related to the concept of the "refiner's fire" as it relates to early and contemporary Quakerism:
A recent pamphlet by Friend Marty Grundy, Early Friends and Ministry.
From Friend Marcelle Martin's current blog A Whole Heart, a post written just last month: The Refiner's Fire
And from my own blog The Good Raised Up, in which I address the refiner's fire and Marty's pamphlet a few times: search results for "refiner's fire"
Like you, Nat, I have many thoughts, musings, and questions about identity, membership, etc. I'm glad to read you here from time to time.

Whether or not the Iraq war was wise, it's fair to say that it is now unwise for Tony Blair to intervene in the ongoing foreign policy debate. The former Prime Minister was under fire last week as the country British and US forces invaded in 2003 was rent asunder by ISIS, and naturally the debate about whether these developments show the intervention was the wrong decision has put further pressure on Blair. He rarely needs much pressure to justify his actions, though: he gives the impression of a man who protests too much. In his column today, Boris Johnson makes quite clear that these protests do not come without a cost to the wider debate about intervention. His accusation that Tony Blair 'has finally gone mad', that he is 'unhinged' and 'surely needs psychiatric help' is less stinging than this paragraph:
'The Iraq war was a tragic mistake; and by refusing to accept this, Blair is now undermining the very cause he advocates – the possibility of serious and effective intervention. Blair's argument (if that is the word for his chain of bonkers assertions) is that we were right in 2003, and that we would be right to intervene again.
'Many rightly recoil from that logic. It is surely obvious that the 2003 invasion was a misbegotten folly. But that does not necessarily mean – as many are now concluding – that all intervention is always and everywhere wrong in principle, and that we should avoid foreign entanglements of all kinds.'
Boris concludes that Blair should 'put a sock in it' unless he accepts 'the reality of the disaster he helped to engender'. The Mayor also argues in the piece that the intervention was flawed because there was no plan for the transition afterwards. But his point is that Blair does not help any debate now because he refuses to acknowledge his mistakes.
Indeed, Blair certainly did not help the debate about intervention in Syria. Just in case his ghost didn't loom large enough over the House of Commons, he made sure MPs all had Blair on the brain by penning this op-ed calling for intervention in The Times.
This isn't to say that the decisions Blair took in office were right or wrong. But the controversy they stirred means that whenever he gets involved in debates about foreign policy, he distracts everyone from the issue at hand, and takes them back more than a decade to old debates about a decision no-one can undo, even if they wanted to. ISIS appears to have butchered soldiers in a shallow grave in Iraq over the weekend, yet Blair is attracting limelight and airtime. Whether or not he is right, perhaps a little silence would be beneficial.

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's oil minister says his country would support any decision by the oil producing group of nations that seeks to stabilize the oil market, Iranian state TV reported on Tuesday.
The remarks by the minister, Bijan Namdar Zangeneh, came after talks with OPEC chief Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo on Tuesday in Tehran.
READ MORE: Should Canadians be cheering for lower or higher oil prices?
According to Zangeneh, most OPEC members want to see the price of crude oil at 50 to 60 dollars per barrel.
"This price makes production of oil by OPEC members profitable, economical and useful, while preventing the rivals from raising their output," he said,
Iran is trying to regain its share of the global petroleum market after the removal of Western sanctions following Iran's nuclear deal with world powers. It has said it will participate in talks on a possible production freeze after it reaches an output of 4 million barrels per day by April 2017.
READ MORE: Canadian dollar hits two-week low amid falling oil prices
In late 2000s, Iran was the second producer in OPEC with a total production of 4.2 million barrels per day, with 2.5 million barrels exported. The current production is at 3.6 million barrels of oil a day, of which Tehran exports 2.2 million barrels a day.
The world's two largest oil producers, Russia and Saudi Arabia, on Monday agreed to act together to stabilize global oil output, though it's unclear what that might entail.
Russia, which is not a member of the oil producing nations' group OPEC, this year supported calls to freeze production, but the efforts fell through after Iran opposed the plan.

WASHINGTON — WASHINGTON - Some 50 U.S. Marines headed to Libya on Wednesday to reinforce security at U.S. diplomatic facilities in the aftermath of an attack in the eastern city of Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, officials said.
The Marines are members of an elite group known as a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, or FAST, whose role is to respond on short notice to terrorism threats and to reinforce security at U.S. embassies. They operate worldwide. The contingent that was dispatched to Libya was based in Spain.
The officials who disclosed the plan to send the Marines spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The Marines were headed initially to the U.S. embassy in Tripoli, not to Benghazi.
Several officials said the U.S. military was making no other moves to deploy troops, ships or aircraft in response to Tuesday's attack. A second Marine FAST element was standing by in Spain but had no orders to move, officials said.
U.S. embassies, particularly in major countries and in unstable or less secure nations, usually have a resident contingent of Marine security guards. Early indications were that there were not at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. A consulate is a branch office in major cities outside the capital. These guards work under the supervision of the senior diplomatic officer at an embassy.
The main role of Marine security guards is to protect classified national security documents, according to the website of the Marine Corps Embassy Security Group, which administers the security guard mission from a Marine base in Virginia. Their secondary role is to protect U.S. citizens and U.S. government property in the event of an emergency.
The Marines began their security guard mission in 1948. They are trained at the Marine Security Guard School.
In rare cases, the Marines send a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, or a portion of the team, to reinforce security at embassies. They were sent to Africa, for example, in response to the 1998 terrorist attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. A FAST group also provided security aboard a Navy hospital ship in New York following the 9/11 attacks.

Introducing Erin M. Copenhaver, PA-C, CHC
For 12 years Erin worked as a PA in Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Following the birth of her second child in 2010, she began to experience her own health struggles. The multiple years and providers it took to get a diagnosis frustrated Erin and she began doing research to figure out how her own diagnosis had been missed. Additionally, she became passionate about helping her patients and others avoid a similar fate. After being treated by Gene Blake, Erin found renewed health and energy, and she decided to pursue a health coaching certification. She started her own business, Charleston Wellness Coach, coaching both adults and children to incorporate healthy habits into their everyday lives.
In her search for answers Erin discovered the world of Functional Medicine. Functional Medicine focuses on figuring out WHY people are sick by getting to the root causes and addressing the triggers as opposed to labeling a patient with a diagnosis and prescribing a medication. Functional Medicine renewed Erin's passion for the field of medicine. She began working with lifestyle modifications and preventative measures for her patients which yield many more rewarding benefits than medications alone. She is currently pursuing formal training from the Institute for Functional Medicine, which is the one of the highest standards in the field.
A shared passion and interest inspired Gene and Erin to begin working together to develop protocols to help women with Hashimoto's and other complex health conditions. By working to get at the root causes of illness they are able to help women heal themselves, prevent further illness and live their best lives. Additionally, their inspiration is derived from knowing that, by helping women heal and be healthy, they are helping families thrive and be healthy as well.
Erin grew up in Coldwater, Michigan, received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan. After college she moved to New York City where she was an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and worked in the restaurant industry. She completed her Masters of Health Science/Physician Assistant Studies in 2005 at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. She practiced allergy for three years in Manhattan. In 2008 she moved to Charleston with her husband, Will, and they have since had two young children, Caroline and Pierce. Outside of work Erin enjoys travel, the outdoors, quality time with family and friends as well as exercise and all things wellness!

My Dr and I have decided that we are going to try the compounded P17 shots. These are basically pharmacy made generics instead of the big expensive name brand. (There is more too it than that, but that is the gist of it.)
We will have to pay out of pocket for those, but only $15 per week. I think we can handle that.
I'm rather mad at my insurance about denying it.
Mad enough to eat a Big Mac and large fry, oh wait... never mind, I ate that before I got the call. Humm, no one to blame for that one.
I am however thrilled to have the option of the compounded P17. I am really really hopeful that this will keep the preterm labor away and keep me out of the hospital until 37 weeks. I guess only time will tell though.
Compounded P17 starts TONIGHT!!
If anyone from Aetna happens to be reading this, you better watch your back. This tattooed gangsta is pretty pissed about you denying his Mama's prescription.

For the love!!!! You know this whole topic drives me insane. I love that they think they know more than your doctor. Clearly the doctor wouldn't prescribe you these meds if she didn't think you NEED them. Once again, would they rather pay for the shots or a NICU stay??
- July 8, 2011 at 2:27 PM

Maybe you should inform them of the going rate for one night in the NICU vs. the rate for the P17 shots...they obviously didn't do that math. Ugh, so sorry you're going through this, but at least you have the option of the compounded P17. I hope it works!!

oh bother... I am on the phone with them all.the.time! The good news is, I have found that persistence (and the occasional letter from the Dr.) usually pays off. Good Luck

Aetna is ridiculous. They denied an emergency room visit for me when I was going through a pad every 45 minutes for several hours and was dizzy. They said it wasn't an emergency. However, they paid for the surgery that resulted from the emergency room visit.
Love how they decide what is necessary and not.

Insurance. Is. Stupid.
So, my question is are you giving the shots or is Mike? Or do you go to the Dr. once a week to get it? I gave them to myself, thinking I was a big brave nurse. But after week 2 I dreaded those mornings so much I would be shaking and crying getting the shot ready. Oh the things we go through for our babies! It worked though, that was my longest pregnancy ever!

So frustrating! I just had a prescription denied that I've been on for four years because apparently the insurance jerks think something else (cheaper for them) would work better.

Hi! I am new here, but I just wanted to weigh in on the P17 shots. I gave birth prematurely with my second child, so I was put on the shots with my third pregnancy. Now that I am pregnant again I am terrified that I will get turned down for them for insurance reasons this time.
Thank goodness you have the option to use a compounding pharmacy.

- Tillie said...
woah this blows. What is wrong with the stupid insurance??? I don't get that. I am glad you can get compounding ones for much less -- so not cool. :-/

Los Angeles: US President Barack Obama has joked that he "still doesn't know why" he won the Nobel Peace Prize. He even complained that he hasn't had a promotion for eight years during a mock job interview with the host of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert".
With only three months left in the White House, Obama was interviewed for a new job on the show, which allowed the outgoing President to poke fun at his résumé, reports dailymail.co.uk.
Colbert tried to coach Obama, 55, on how to transition from the White House. He started the mock interview by reminding Obama that age 55 was "a tough time to start over for a man", and said to him: "I don't see any promotions for the last eight years, which isn't always good".
Obama said: "There wasn't a lot of room for advancement in my last job. The only one with a more powerful job than me was my wife."
Colbert asked Obama if he had won any awards during his eight years in the job.
"I did win the Nobel Peace Prize," said Obama. To this, the host asked: "And what was that for?"
"To be honest, I still don't know," joked Obama.
Obama was given the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, only a few months after becoming President, for extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples although many people were baffled by the award.
"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" airs in India on Star World Premiere HD.

You would expect towering areas of disagreement in a debate between Jeremy Ben-Ami, head of the liberal leaning J Street and William Kristol, the neoconservative editor of the Weekly Standard, and a board member of the Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI). In fact, the debate held, May 15th, at the B'Nai Jeshurun Synagogue, on the upper west side of Manhattan was newsworthy by their shared views about Israel. Kate Press, the New York City Regional Director of J Street said that "the purpose of the event was to have a conversation of what it is to be Pro-Israel in 2012."
In the debate moderated by Jane Eisner, editor of the Forward, the audience of over six hundred, at times laughed, applauded vigorously for both sides, or screamed out a few views of their own. The area of agreement was both men stating that there should be a two state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, a democratic Jewish, Israel, living in peace beside an independent Palestinian State.
It also was remarkable that Mr. Kristol agreed that President Obama's policy toward Israel has moved more in tune with his own and also that of the likely Republican candidate, Mitt Romney. The other areas of agreement were the undeniable facts of Hamas, being an agent of terrorism and the danger of Iran's nuclear capability.
The differences went to the heart of the question of what it means to be pro Israel. The J Street Ben-Ami viewpoint is that legitimate criticism of Israeli settlements and actions of the Israeli government to deny rights to the Palestinians is very appropriate. The Kristol view, as promulgated by the Emergency Committee for Israel is that this type of criticism sends an anti�Israel message and is counterproductive. An underlying message repeatedly stated by Mr. Kristol is that American Jews have no right to try and influence the actions of the Israeli government.
The J Street attitude was that Israel is a Jewish state and represents the interests of all Jews around the world. Israel depends hugely on the support of the world wide Jewish community especially of the United States. And if the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the mistreatment of Palestinians are actions detrimental to peace they should be opposed. Mr. Ben-Ami stated, "Standing by Israel right or wrong is not acceptable. Israel's actions reflect Jewish values". The oppression, denial of rights, and prejudice felt by Jews, historically, and up to the present day, should be reason enough to oppose similar actions by Israel against Palestinians.
Another area of disagreement was the threat of demographics, i.e. more Arab than Jewish population in the contested areas. That fact would create a minority Jewish population subjugating the larger Arab community. Mr. Ben-Ami said that would be an untenable situation. Mr. Kristol's view was that Iran was the bigger danger and Israel can keep the status quo indefinitely.
A prediction by Mr. Kristol that Mitt Romney as President would appoint Joe Lieberman, Secretary of State, elicited groans from the audience and a comment from Mr. Ben-Ami, that Israel already has a Lieberman as Foreign Minister.
Israeli journalist Chemi Shalev, writing for Haaretzs'blog, commented, "As an Israeli observer, I must admit I found myself envious of the ability of the two debaters and of their audience to conduct such a potentially volatile political debate in an atmosphere of mutual respect. In Israel, I suspect, such civilized debates may no longer be possible."
The debaters both have roots in the B'Nai Jeshurun and upper west side community. Mr. Ben-Ami took his wife on their first date to one of the synagogues events, and Mr. Kristol's family also participated in synagogue activities. And both went to Collegiate, the local prep school.
The atmosphere between the men was adversarial with a good touch of conviviality and fairness. Mr. Kristol remarked that he "hoped J Street flourished as an organization", and then after a short pause added, "as long as it had no affect on United States policy toward Israel".

Business structure and the overall investment climate in the UAE facilitate the growth of start-ups. It means that the large number of persons decide to start their business in the UAE. However, it's easy to get tangled as the market of the country is rapidly growing. Unfortunately, the choice of the right business does not guarantee that you won't fail. The more your company is fast-growing, the higher are the risks. Below are the most common tips for the ones who decide to start business in the UAE.
Starting a business in the UAE is easy, but this coin has two sides.
The UAE is the very cosmopolitan country which is certainly helpful for companies. However, this means that you have to face a lot of competitors. Dubai's growth of potential is predetermined by some certain factors. Firstly, Dubai has gained the right to hold Expo 2020, an exposition dedicated to one of the universal themes. Secondly, Dubai's airport has been extended, and more noteworthy changes are still to come.
Here is a list of tips that would help you start a business in the UAE:
- Do what you like. Running a company is a very difficult task. Missing important family gatherings, your friends' birthdays and other social events are inevitable. Inspiration will keep you going. Let your passion lead you. Genuine pleasure is the key.
- The fast expansion is dangerous. Sales should not be your primary concern. In case you focus only on sales you might face problems associated with cash flow.
- Cash flow is of high importance. If your business already exists, think of an additional buffer. Your growth might be not as fast as you hope.
- Before starting your business make a business plan. Analyze strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT). Sounds simple, but this is something you can't neglect.
- Control your expenses. In Dubai, expenses can increase quite unexpectedly. Employing people is pretty costly. There are other costs that you need to be aware of and that have to be covered as well. The absence of control can cause trouble.
- And the last of our tips - concentrate on several things at a time, but not on too many. Focus on two or three products. This way you will be more efficient.
UAE is the great place to start a business. However the necessary level of caution and common sense must be applied. And we hope our tips above would be a help for you.

Photon energy is capable of carrying the harmonics or vibrational frequencies of the contents of any liquid through which it passes. Different light frequencies carry varying amounts of harmonic energies with which they come in contact. HALO devices act as "energy transporters" to carry the photons and vibrational harmonics of the botanical liquid concentrates through which the photons pass and imparts those healing vibrational frequencies into the affected bodily areas resulting in immediate and often long-term positive results.
HALO Systems combine the best of Western medical light therapy with the purest natural botanicals, herbs and amino acids to produce a bio-treatment system that represents the best combination of modern and ancient practices.

Tom & I had a fantastic time traveling from New York to Vermont including taking the RV and the truck across the water via ferry. How cool is that!
We stayed at Apple Island RV Resort in South Hero. What a fantastic campground with the friendliest staff and guests. We met some great people here including Dany & Lucy and Mark & Anne. We give Apple Island a A++++ and we will be back.
The Skinny Pancake was a great place that we had breakfast at with some new friends as well, almost everything here is served in a crepe.
Vermont is well known for being the Beer Brewing Capital of the U.S. There are brew houses everywhere.
We had dinner at Our House and while the food was good, the service was super slow. They specialize in Mac & Cheese in every way possible.
Church Street Marketplace was totally awesome. They had everything from clothing stores, liquor tastings, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Store, Sushi Vendors, to a regular indoor mall in the middle of this outdoor extravaganza.
Vermont is absolutely beautiful and has a lot of really cool places to visit. We will be back hopefully when it's snowing❤❤❤ Well done Vermont!!!

Sometimes, even the most straightforward question can create evasion and denial in Washington's corridors of power a question like "Why does Air Force One need publicity photos?" It's a legitimate question, following the official explanation that Monday's flight over lower Manhattan by one of the President's fleet of 747s (shadowed by two fighter planes), which evoked ghosts of 9/11 and spread panic, was simply an ill-conceived photo opportunity.
A call to the Air Force on Wednesday seeking an answer to that simple question was referred to the White House Military Office, just across the Potomac River. The White House office which had approved the flying photo opportunity but ordered that the public be kept in the dark about the flight plan said the Air Force was handling the issue. As is typical in such snafus, the White House Military Office's answer wasn't completely wrong, as a second call to the Air Force revealed. (See pictures from the Air Force's 60th anniversary.)
"That's a question for the White House, and I understand that they may be bouncing you back here," Air Force Lieut. Colonel Tadd Sholtis explained. Following Tuesday's release by the Air Force of the cost of the flight $328,835 the beleaguered White House Military Office was bouncing all questions on the topic back to the flyboys. But the Air Force, which knows how to employ stealth technology and evasive maneuvers when warranted, wasn't going to allow the media to lock on. "The purpose of the flight, why did it happen, all those kinds of things," Sholtis said, "need to be addressed to the White House Military Office."
On another call to the White House Military Office, headed by Clinton-era Army Secretary Louis Caldera, the reporter explained how the Air Force was answering only questions about the cost of the flight and not anything else. Cornered, the WHMO official punted: "You'll have to call the White House press office." But White House press secretary Robert Gibbs couldn't shed any light on the matter either. "They've had [such photos] for at least two decades," Gibbs told TIME on Wednesday. "Our point was that we don't need a new one." (The publicity pictures, apparently, are released to the media and also handed out as souvenirs to guests who travel aboard the presidential plane.)
"It was a mistake," President Obama had said of the incident the day before, "and it will not happen again." The White House has steadfastly refused to rule out firing Caldera, whom Obama appointed with a glowing recommendation. "Louis has served his country with distinction in uniform and in government, and his pedigree is second to none," the President said at the time. "I know he'll bring to the White House the same dedication and integrity that have earned him the highest praise in every post." (See pictures of NASA, Boeing and the Air Force teaming up.)
Unfortunately, "dedication and integrity" don't necessarily include common sense and intelligence. It appears to be taking official Washington some time to grasp that Obama isn't interested in the aura of power supposedly conferred by new presidential helicopters (he's killed a proposed $13 billion upgrade of the fleet of 28 Marine Ones) or glossy souvenir photos of Air Force One flying over New York City. Trimming the trappings of power gives his Administration the credibility to seek sacrifices from other parts of the government, and from taxpayers too. But it appears that some folks like Caldera, who as of this moment still heads the White House Military Office still haven't gotten the message.
