Medicare Part D Plans in North Carolina Under the Affordable Care Act Law
To learn more about Medicare Prescription Drug Plans sold in North Carolina under the new Affordable Care Act law, and explore how a Part D Plan can help you afford your prescription drugs, be sure to read through our Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan information pages. We do our best to keep all of our information current so that you can get the most from your new ObamaCare benefits.
Medicare Supplemental Insurance and Prescription Medication Medicare Benefits in North Carolina
Remember, even with the recent healthcare reform changes, Medicare only covers 80% of your Part A (hospital) and Part B (doctor) bills in North Carolina. As a result, even a short inpatient hospital stay can cost you a bundle. To protect yourself and your family from high healthcare costs, from injury or illness, you can't rely on your Original Medicare benefits alone. That's why we publish a complete database of Medigap Plans available to seniors in North Carolina. Medicare supplemental insurance is regulated by your state board of insurance, not ObamaCare. Supplemental insurance is completely compatible with all Part D drug plans.

"Revenge" will broadcast a new episode Sunday night titled "Hatred." Various spoilers have come out over the weeks and now "Revenge" took to its Facebook page on Jan. 17 to give fans another sneak peek. The war between newlyweds, Daniel Grayson and his bride Emily Thorne, continue to heat up this week.
In the preview, fans see Emily surrounded by a lot of packages from a full day of shopping. She declares to Daniel there's "nothing like a little retail therapy." Daniel informs her, in a rude tone, she will be cleaning up the mess herself because he fired the house staff for not coming clean about gossiping. A shocked Emily tells him that was not right.
Emily goes on to tell Daniel that she has been asking herself why he has strayed because he'd been doing it longer than just since they were married. The two have obvious tension between them and Daniel has obvious hate. Emily walks over to her husband and tells him that she's not acting this way because she is bored. She whispers, "I'm trying to win you back."
"Revenge" is definitely back at the top of Emily's list. Fans know her feelings for Daniel have not been real love, but faked for the sake of her plan. How far will she go to get her way? Will Daniel fall for her again or will he continue to hate her and romance Sarah? With the writers of "Revenge" in charge, viewers are most definitely in for an entertaining ride!
An all new "Revenge" airs Sunday night on ABC at 8 P.M. CST.

Soul x Maka - FanFic - TeaTea"It's so hot. I'm sweating like a pig." Complained Soul as he made a measly attempt to fan himself.He heaved a weary sigh to himself before wondering to the kitchen in search of a soothing beverage."Being hot and bothered is so uncool." He mumbled while scouring the fridge.Sadly, all he could find was Peach Juice."This stuff is disgusting!" He groaned, "How could Maka possibly like this?"He carelessly flung it back within the cold abyss of the fridge in annoyance."Well, Maka is always telling me that hot drinks cool you down better than cold drinks." He said, shrugging as he spoke, "She said it was something to do with
being hyper
I forgot."Soul never remembered much of what Maka said. She spoke in such an intelligent manner. Too intelligent for Soul. He only ever really remembers her admitting her love for him. Soul smiled a toothy smile at the sweet memories.He shuffled lazily over to the kettle and clicked the button that boils the water."Maybe I shou
SoulxMaka FF - Valentines DayValentines DaySoul peered through the crack in Maka's bedroom door. There was no sign of movement and the only sound emitting from Maka was her breathing. Soul grinned widely."Alright. Now I can start my plan."Soul tiptoed towards the kitchen slowly. Every time a floorboard creaked under his feet he would stiffen up and hold his agitated breath. He would listen intently for any signs of conscious life; his eyes swivelling insanely around the room. Only when he heard Maka mumbling something about Pocky in her dreams would he finally allow himself to exhale and loosen his rigid muscles. Then he would begin prowling towards the kitchen once more. As he approached his destination, Soul hoped there would be a sufficient amount of ingredients. If not, he'd have to make a long, cold journey to the 24-hour convenience store, and that was definitely something he'd prefer to avoid.Soul gritted his shark-like teeth as he cautiously opened the tiny fridge."Let there be food." He thought as th
Soul x Maka - FanFic - PoetryPoetry"Eh? What's this?" Asked Soul, picking up a piece of paper that had been left on the cluttered kitchen counter."D-Don't read that!" Yelped Maka.She made a desperate attempt to snatch the paper out of Soul's grasp. Soul used his height as an advantage and lifted the paper out of Maka's reach."C'mon, Soul! This isn't cool!" Whimpered Maka."What's not cool is not sharing this with your partner." Replied Soul, Smirking, "Sharing is caring.""Well maybe I don't care!" Huffed Maka."Ouch! You hurt me right here." Laughed Soul, playfully clutching his chest as if in agony."Don't mock me!" Maka growled, stomping her foot in annoyance.No matter how mature Maka acted, she always had her childish moments."Alright, I won't mock you." Chuckled Soul, "Instead, I'll read this."Soul did his best to hold in his laughter, but failed miserably."What's so FUNNY?" Asked Maka in a threatening tone."T-This is!" Soul replied while in the midst of laughter."It's a heartfelt poem." Explained M
Soul x Maka - FanFic - PockyPockyAll was quiet within the small apartment. The only sound interrupting the silence was the content purring of Blair as she dreamt sweet dreams in the midst of her slumber. Soul was asleep on this glorious afternoon as well. It was a peaceful scene. That is, until the front door banged open."I can't STAND that repulsive man!" Roared Maka.Her blonde hair streaked behind her, as if it was trying to keep up with her angry strides. Maka violently slammed the door, almost knocking it off of its hinges. Blair stirred in her sleep."Maka, is that you?" She yawned, getting up and stretching her feline body."Yeah. I'm home, Blair." Sighed Maka, a hint of agitation in her breath."Did your day out with your papa go well?"Maka pulled the same face that you would pull after meeting Excalibur."Um
not so well then?" Chuckled Blair, awkwardly."He spent the whole day being a womaniser." Groaned Maka, "Trying to draw in new prey by pretending that he was a lonely, single parent that was
Soul x Maka - FanFic - Feed MeFeed MeThe cicadas buzzed endlessly within the heat of summer. A boy with snowy white hair and teeth that resembled that of a sharks stood by the shade of the local convenience store; his hands behind his head and his legs crossed. His crimson eyes gazed lazily at the people passing by. He had the sort of stare that made one unsure of whether he was really interested in what he was viewing. He was as motionless as an undisturbed pool of water. That is, until a pretty young girl came briskly bounding out of the glass convenience store doors.The girls' wispy, blonde hair whipped her back as she bounded, as if it was a jockey urging on the majestic horse. Her skin was rather pale, but that further illuminated her apple green eyes that gleamed brilliantly and shimmered as they reflected against the blasting sunlight. She had what seemed to be an impossibly wide smile playing about her slim face. The smile grew unbelievably wider as she sighted the boy. He grinned in reply, kicking himsel
Soul x Maka FanFic - The EndThe EndAs usual, the aromatic scent of Bacon and Eggs was wafting throughout the small apartment in which Soul and Maka dwelled. Maka was up early and making breakfast like she always did."All right, breakfast is done." Maka sighed in relief as she slid the contents of the frying pan onto the empty plates. Plates now filled, Maka chucked the frying pan into the washing up bowl and proceeded to Soul's room to wake him.Maka opened the door silently, trying her best not to wake Soul just yet. She always enjoyed seeing his sleeping face since it made him look so peaceful and carefree. His sleeping face was not constantly making an effort to look cool, nor was it back mouthing her in a way that was not at all charming. No, this face portrayed a solemn face with hidden intelligence and understanding beyond thought. Of course Maka loved Soul's face no matter how it looked, but she did enjoy seeing both sides of his face. Sadly, this is not what Maka saw when she opened the door that mornin
Soul x Maka FanFic - EpilogueEpilogue"I'm an idiot." Maka sighed, curling up tighter and tighter into a ball with every passing minute."Oh, Maka," Tsubaki chuckled lightly, trying to lighten the atmosphere, "You're not an idiot! You're just
just, uh
""Yes I am." Maka insisted, looking up at Tsubaki from her curled ball position of safety, "Idiot: Noun. Informal. An utterly foolish or senseless person." She huddled back up after stating the evidence of her "utter foolishness" and "senselessness".Tsubaki exhaled as she gathered the plates from the table, "Well, somebody swallowed a dictionary." Tsubaki went to join Maka in the corner of the room after gathering the plates, straightening out the creases in her skirt as she stooped down to sit beside the depressed teenager on the floor, "Listen, we all make mistakes; it's just a part of human behaviour. At least now you realise your mistake, and you can just-""No!" Yelled Maka, "I can't "just" anything!" she took a moment to wipe the rising tears from h
Soul Eater FanFic - Going OutGoing OutSoul fanned himself with a measly piece of paper whilst waiting for Maka to finish getting ready. It was summer, the season that irritated Soul due to the fact that it was hot, and also, if he so much as glanced at another girl that was wearing a crop top and a flashy short skirt, then Maka would kill him."Why do girls have to take so damn long?" He groaned, "MAKA! YOU DONE YET?!""DON'T RUSH ME! I STRUGGLE UNDER PRESSURE!" Maka yelped in reply.Soul let out a frustrated sigh before getting up and walking to the window. He put his hands in his jean pockets and looked out across Death City and the pure gloominess of it all. Despite the fact that it was summer, it was still incredibly dark out there. One tall, dark building overshadowed another, which overshadowed a building smaller than itself, which overshadowed a building that was even smaller than that one."The designers did not consider this consequence. Sure, we can ensure a high population, but a low amount of sunlight
BSxT FanFic - EmbarrassmentEmbarrassment"First rule of the assassin." Breathed the young boy, "Be covered in shadow and stay your breath
lie in wait for your target to let down its guard."He crept further down the dark corridor, sticking close to the wooden walls. He did his best to disguise his rushed breath as he crept closer and closer to the bathroom."Second rule of the assassin. Be in sync with your target
anticipate its thoughts and actions."He was very close to the bathroom now. He reached his hand out to touch the doorframe. Just to reassure himself that he was nearly there."Third rule of the assassin. Defeat your target before it becomes aware of your presence."He peered around the doorframe, his eyes swivelling around insanely as he did so, searching. His eyes stopped swivelling suddenly as they locked onto his target. His pupils grew wide and he could feel a nosebleed occurring."YO-HOOOOO!" He screamed, staring at the young girl in the bath all the while."If you want to be a pervert,
SoulxMaka Fanfic - Handcuffed"You have GOT to be kidding me!" Maka whined, red faced, and angry. She could already feel the sweat forming on the back of her neck.Sure, Soul and I have been going out for quite a while now but THIS? You can't be serious
Maka thought, remembering her previous mission from that day. She and Soul had been fighting an enemy and just before they killed it it put some kind of binding spell on them, almost like handcuffs, though you could only see it when Soul and Maka tried to walk away from each other. The handcuffs wouldn't allow their hands more than 5 inches apart.Maka tried pulling her hand away again, making a white string that was attached to both of their wrist visible for as long as she pulled, which wasn't long since she knew it was useless. Maka turned to Soul then who seemed to be in deep though. When Soul caught her eye he smiled."Come on Maka, this isn't so bad. It's kinda cool," he told her, making her heart start to beat so much she feared it might stop. Sh
Soul Maka: FluffHe never knew she could be so cute.He never would have though that serious, strict, abusive angry Maka could have such a soft, sweet side.Pfft, I'll never think that again, Soul thought as he wrapped his arms a little tighter around his meister, blushing a bit when he heard the tiniest of squeaks come from her throat.Damnit! Why is she being so girly? This was not cool. But at the same time he really didn't care.He was currently under his meister, wedged in between her and their trusty sofa. She was in her signature yellow vest and plaid red skirt, her combat boots layed beside the sofa on the floor, having been already kicked off.It started out with her head on his shoulder as they watched some old rerun of a sitcom from the 90's. It was right after school and the afternoon heat was getting to them, making them drowsier and drowsier by the moment.When he had layed down on his back, head laying on the arm rest, he had not expected Maka to lean down with him. He coul
SoulxMaka FanFic - Dreamy"Dammit! How can I, the great Blackstar, get stuck with extra luggage he doesn't even need!!!" Blackstar moaned. Maka sighed. He was so annoying sometimes. It was kinda true though. Maka had made Soul into a Death Scythe and Blackstar and Kid were getting noticeably stronger by the day."Death must have a good reason for putting us all together. It's got to be a bigmission," Maka stated. Blackstar huffed."Yes, this is true," Kid put in."I could have handled this myself," Blackstar said to himself, seemingly trying to be quiet but failing miserably. Maka rolled her eyes as we continued walking the streets of London.Maka looked up at the smiling moon, remembering when they were always put on missions together. They're a freakin' lethal team."BESIDES, WHAT'S SO BIG AND POWERFUL THAT IT HIDES IN THE STREETS OF LONDON? (not to mention so big and powerful that I can't handle alone)AND WOULDN'T YOU WANT YOUR CRIB TO BE IN A SPOOKY CAVE OR DUNGEON OR SOMTHIN'" Blackstar boomed, loud enoug
Soul x Maka Fanfic7 Minutes of Heaven"OMIGOSH! YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE SUPER FUNTASTIC?!?" Patty giggled excitedly as everyone turned to look at her. "A SLEEPOVER!!! HAHAHA!"Oh boy
"Hey, that's a great idea, Patty!" Liz told her."It could be fun
," Tsubaki added"Yeah," Maka suggested, not sure what to think of it."OMIGOSH! It would be so much fun if we invited all the boys too!" Patty added, giggling over herself.Ooooooh boy
"Another great idea!" Liz exclaimed."Good idea," Tsubaki added.Maka huffed."What's the matter, Maka? Scared of playing Truth or Dare?" Liz asked as she nudged her as Patty giggled even louder."NO! I'm not scared of a little game!" Maka said, frustrated."Alright then. How does Friday night sound?" Liz asked."Sounds AMAZINGGGG!" Patty giggled."Sure!" Tsubaki said.Maka huffed again."Oh, but wait! "Where are we gonna have it at?" Tsubaki asked."Hmmm
I dunno," Liz though."BlackStar and my place is a bit smal
SoMa Fanfic - Nothing To Do"Everyone's gone, Maka.""Huh?""Yeah. We'll be all alone.""A-Alone?""Yeah. Alone."Maka glared at Soul with a surprised, scared, and a slightly nervous look. He had just walked into the room and took his seat next to her on the couch."Who's gone?""Tsubaki, BlackStar, Kid, Liz, Patty, and even Blaire. They all left," he said coolly, not looking into her eyes but down at his feet."What?
And where?" Maka asked, her nerves creeping up as she began to take it all in."All left on missions. And Blaire went to some hot spring. I don't know where or for how long. Only that we're alone," he said, as if it was an everyday occurrence. Maka made herself not look at him; she, too, stared down at her feet as she clenched her hands, making her nails dig into her palms.Alone?
What is he implying?
Or is he implying anything at all?
Or is he?
Would Soul really?
"Should be a quiet few days then

Their new home
wasn't an apartment. It was an actual house; courtesy of Spirit. When she and Soul first moved in everything was fine until they realized what a mess their backyard was. And now, the yard she stared at was amazing. Covered in lush green grass, beautiful low trees that hung above everything like an umbrella
there was even a pond in the far corner, complete with a small waterfall and koi fish. Even a small creek wound its way through and found the pond, and a small bridge went right over it. A porch made of dark mahogany wood spread from the back door and out to the middle of the yard; a piano standing in the middle and surro
SoMa Contest Entry FanficPerfect MatchI had to push myself. There was no way I would stop. I had to make Soul become a Death Scythe. This was just another enemy.I was in the heat of battle with Soul against another monster with a Kishin egg as their soul. It was a low level and shouldn't have been a problem, but it was the 5th monster I had fought that day and they had all been formidable foes. They just kept appearing around us.After many combos I rested for a few seconds to catch my breath. Soul could tell I was tired."Maka
you gonna make it?" he asked caringly in his cool voice from his scythe form."Of course... Who do you
think you're
talking to?" I asked, a slight smile finding my face before I raced off for another attack.The monster had many spikes coming out from all over its red and brown body. It's only week points were its face, which was quite small, and all its feet. (It had about 7.)Which weren't covered in the spikes.I swung Soul at it mercilessly, want
Make A Wish.Make A Wish.Soul was napping again. This time he fell asleep right after he got home from school on their red love seat in the living room. He wasn't sleeping 20 minutes when something hard hit him in the chest. Soul lazily opened his eyes to see what the heck it was. To his surprise he saw his partner Maka sitting on him."There are other couches ya know." Soul told her."I know" she replied, "But I feel like sitting on this one.""Do you want me to get up ?" Soul asked"No" Maka answered."Suit yourself. " Soul wasn't going to complain, he would want nothing more then to cuddle with his secret desire on their love seat. It would seem that Maka felt the same since she spun around and just laid down on him, resting her head beside his. 'Whats got into her?' Soul thought 'Is this actually happening? I can sense her soul's wavelength and it seems that she wants this as much as I do. Could
The ApprovalIt was a Saturday when Maka got the call. She was cooking dinner while Soul was sitting on the couch watching TV. Maka turned her head towards the table where her cell phone was vibrating its way off the table. Before it could fall, she grabbed the device. Almost unwillingly she looked at the caller ID. Her eyes widened. "It's mom!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. Trembling with excitement, she flipped opened her phone and pressed the answer button."H-hello?" Maka managed to get out while Soul walked into the kitchen. "Maka? Maka! How have you been? Are you okay? How's the academy? Do you have good grades? Are you the top of your class? Maka answer me!" Maka smiled at the sound of her worried mother's voice."I'm fine mama. The academy is great and I'm at the top of my class.""That's my girl! I know I haven't talked to you ever since you just entered the academy, and I apologize for that. I've been traveling a lot lately and I've finally settled down. But I suppose you got my pos
SoulxMaka FanFic - Swept AwaySwept AwayThe fragrant smell of bacon and eggs wafted throughout the small apartment. Maka was, as usual, up and about much earlier than the second tenant that thrived alongside her within the household. She shifted the bacon around the pan as it sizzled furiously. She recoiled as some of the bacon grease spat at her, as if it was annoyed at the fact that it was being cooked. Maka pouted and her blonde, wispy hair flew around her head in a snake-like manner."If you weren't already a dead piece of meat, I would have throttled you by now!" She huffed.Her apple green eyes grew wide with fear and she briskly flung round to scan her surroundings.A few books that she had previously been browsing through formed a small pile upon the red, leather sofa. Some towels had been lazily flung by the bathroom door; no doubt it was the work of Blair after her daily shower. The kitchen was cluttered with utensils that Maka had been using to make breakfast on that bright morning, and the table was ne

Check out my friend Katrina's awesome photography blog!
Here is another track from my upcoming Scarlett EP. It's a sad one, but one of my favorites. Can you relate?
Check out the video for my song Numb, from my upcoming EP! I think, to date, this is one of my favorite songs that I've written, and I was so happy to have my friends Cindy Chou and Ann Chang playing clarinet and violin on it. It made the experience extra special :) They were great cheerleaders, spending all those hours trying to get the song all worked out in those tiny UW practice rooms, and I couldn't have done it without them!
I can't believe it's actually HAPPENING! On Feb. 25th 2014 I'm finally releasing my long lost Scarlett EP (which has been siting collecting dust on a hard drive for 5 years now literally)!
This is a video about making the album and why it took me so long to release it. (I have no idea why the thumb nail pic is so weird but the video is better than the pic I promise!)
Thank you to my friends Cindy Chou, Ann Chang, Lauren Roth and Jacques Willis for playing on my EP back in the good old rainy Seattle days.
Most importantly, this album is dedicated to my Grandma Dorris who first inspired me to become a musician. RIP Grandma I love you.

Here is a brand new video of my live performance at Witzend of my song "Sunny Lemonade". I wrote this song on New Years Day reflecting back on a year full of contrast living in LA. This song is incredibly emotional and hard for me to sing, but I really love it and hope you do too. I was with my Grandpa this week, and looking at old 1950's family footage and got inspired to make this backdrop for the song! Yes, my Papa is the little boy running around half naked in it! Enjoy:)
Good Lord I absolutely love Priscilla Ahn!
Thanks Dan and Kevin for having me on your awesome Barking Mad Podcast. I love you guys!
Barking Mad Podcast Stand Up Guy- joy autumn (by barkingmad thepodcast)
I haven't blogged in a seriously long time which is silly of me! But, I've been playing a bunch of live shows around LA, like Witzend in Venice and Room 5 in Hollywood, and trying out new songs every time! I've even taken up the guitar, which I love because I can face the audience when I play. Too often I feel so limited being crunched in the corner playing piano! I'm excited for the new direction songwriting on guitar is taking me too.
I've got some super exciting news I can't wait to share…more to come soon. Stay tuned!

There are several areas that could be separate for diff activities. Suggestions: the landscaping should be fertilized and primped for the price. The staircase down to the ocean is a hazard for the elderly and those with bi-focals.
All we can say is "WOW!" We just had the pleasure of returning from Hawaii a week ago, and I can not say enough about the Kona plantation (Ohana Retreat). It is so beautiful all around. The house was immaculate when we arrived and we were welcomed by Randell who showed us around the grounds with a fantastic tour. He is full of information! I was fortunate enough to have my wedding here and it was more than I could ever have imagined. Everything was perfect, especially having all the gear and equipment accessible to us during our stay, the lush tropical feel of all the plants and palms and having the beach so close. It is the best of both worlds! We are planning a trip back to Kona solely so that we can enjoy another week in the house! Thanks again Carolyn and Randell!

This dazzling traditional table lamp features an elegant marbleized base.
Traditional Kathy Ireland lamps will take your home decor in a beautiful new direction. The base of this table lamp features decorative carving in bronze finish and a stunning marbleized font in rich golden tones. An off-white oval shade provides a calm accent to the exquisitely detailed base.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I received the lamps and I am very happy with the
colors in the globe. I ordered two one has
olive green tones and the other has more golden
tones which worked out for my decor.
The picture does not show it that way
it shows more grey and other colors
picture not true colors in the product.
It has rich color on the vase and I really like it.
Lamps Plus seems to have eliminated ALL lamps supporting 3 way incandescent lighbulbs.
This means that I need to purchase and swap out the switch on any product I purchase from them, so I'm unlikely to purchase new lamps from them in the future. It's a shame since they have such a broad selection.
This lamp has nice styling and adds comfortable lighting to the room.
This is my reading lamp next to the sofa. It gives the right amount of light to read with a warm glow.

Dec. 4, 2012
QUEENS, N.Y. – After a rookie season in which she became the first St. John's player to earn First Team All-BIG EAST Honors since 2008, freshman Karin Palgutova was tabbed as an Honorable Mention on the American Volleyball Coaches Association Division I All-Northeast Region Team as announced by the AVCA on Tuesday. Out of the 20 members on the All-Northeast Region Team, 10 are BIG EAST players and just three are freshmen. Palgutova is the only BIG EAST freshman on the team.
The 15th St. John's player to make the Division I All-Northeast Region Team in the history of the program and the first one to receive the honor since 2008, Palgutova finished the season ranked ninth in the nation in service aces per set and eighth in the BIG EAST in kills per set. She was also the only freshman to be named to the All-BIG EAST First Team.
In her rookie campaign, Palgutova recorded 53 service aces (0.46 per set), which is the second-most in a season in St. John's history and just seven shy of the record. The Slovakian also recorded a team-best 3.35 kills per set average on a .274 hitting percentage and compiled the team's third-highest digs per set average (1.88). The all-around player also racked up the highest single-match block total (9) in a four-set win over Seton Hall on Oct 26.
St. John's reached the 20-win mark this season for the first time since 2008, compiling a 20-12 overall record (7-8 BIG EAST). The Red Storm also returned to the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time since 2008.

Unless you've been living under a rock these last few weeks, you must have seen the beautiful photos of Björn Ewers' Instruments from Inside series. I was so smitten by these photos and so puzzled about how they could have been realised that I emailed Björn with some questions, which he kindly agreed to answer:
BF: How did the original project come to be? Is this an idea you had been exploring as a photographer for a while and that appealed to the Berliner Philharmonic Orchestra PR people, or did the idea come together during the assignment?
BE: The Berliner Philharmoniker asked the Berlin based Agency Scholz & Friends to come up with a campaign for the chamber orchestra. They had a long and a very successful relationship with the agency before I worked for them as an Art Director. It usually takes some time to get a good creative concept for a campaign, but this idea which I developed with the copywriter Mona Sibai came up very fast, like 10 minutes after the brief. It was so obvious that I was wondering why no one else had had this idea already.
And then I looked up some photographers portfolios and I was totally stoked by Mierswa Kluska's. I love their strong style. The do a lot of still life and fashion photography on a very high level. Mierswa Kluska and me first tried together to realize the concept using purely CGI because of budget issues. It looked good but not real enough. So we started all over again with real instruments. The campaign originally produced for just the chamber orchestra turned out so well that it became the campaign of the house for a full year.
How did you choose which instruments to shoot?
Well it was quite hard to find classical instruments that look interesting enough from the inside. So the ones we chose were the only ones of interest. Maybe a piano would have been interesting.
Which kind of photo body and (especially) lenses were you using (this may differ between instruments, I guess)?
We shot the images with a Hasselblad plus a digital back and a wide-angle lens. That's what gave the images this "hall" feeling. The f-stop was 22. With the llve-view we could control what was going on inside, especially for the cello.
How did you insert the lenses inside the instruments, in particular for the violin and cello?
We cut the instruments on one side to have a look into them. And there was an instrument maker round the corner of Mierswa Kluska's Studio. He was repairing an old cello. So we had the opportunity to rent this beautiful cello with an open body. We just put the camera into it and closed the cover. We could see everything that was going on inside through a (very bad) live view and did a lot of trial shots.
How did you manage the lighting inside the instruments?
Well the lighting was quite simple. We only had adjustment light from the strobe. And a long shutter speed to get that ambient light from the lightsource. That gave us images a very natural feel. To get the haze inside, that was a challenge. But then Markus Kluska came up with the idea of just blowing in some cigarette smoke and expose for about 4 seconds. And it looked great!
How much post processing did you apply? Did you use techniques such as HDR?
There was some post on it but not much. Just evening out the looks of the shots and cleaning up some glue spots that just looked nasty and deterred from the vintage look we were after. No HDR.
Which instruments proved the hardest to do and why?
The flute was challenging. Everything was mirroring inside. So that was mainly trial and error. In the end it's one of my favourite next to the cello. I love the color and the mirroring light.
Will you be doing more instruments (is this a continuing series) and if yes, do you know which yet?
No there will be no more images from instruments from inside. That was the assignment, and it was a great experience doing it.
Were you surprised at the response on the internet to these photos?
I was super surprised by the response. The funny thing is that the photos have been up for 2 years in my Behance portfolio and got about 500 likes before Behance posted the project on their front-page (thanks, Behance!!!) The blog monster took over and two days later it had about 3500 likes and bunch of blog and news request filled my inbox. Breathtaking how blogs can push things forward. In the future I will try harder to publish more of my works that way.
Can people buy prints of these photos somewhere or will that be possible in the future?
There are a lot of requests for prints, but they are no longer available. The Berliner Philharmoniker sold them for a long time but they are now out of stock…
Thanks Björn!
You're welcome.

Tales from the Trail
Obama picks his basketball Final Four
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – For many U.S. sports fans, March is the time to obsess over men's college basketball and the science of "bracketology," in which fans predict the winner of each game in the 64-team, end-of-season tournament.
For others, of course, bracketology remains a mystery.
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama released his "brackets" on Thursday, reinforcing his credentials as a regular, sports-lovin' guy who shoots hoops in his spare time on the campaign trail as he runs for the Democratic nomination for U.S. president.
According to Obama, expect North Carolina, Kansas, Pittsburgh and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to reach the final four as semi-finalists.
Team Obama even put his complete picks on its Web site.
Students of politics and sport might note that two of the teams Obama selected are in states yet to vote and polls put him slightly ahead of his rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, in North Carolina, the team he picked to beat UCLA in the final.
But there's another set of brackets in which Obama has an interest.
The Democratic nominee will face presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in November's general election and at a sports bar in Charleston, West Virginia, Obama outlined a potential November match-up on a supporter's bracketology card.
"I put McCain on one side, Obama on the other in the final," he said, adding: "Obama wins it."

and here are mccain's picks too…
http://thevote.abc13.com/2008/03/beat-jo hn-mccai.html
It's amazing how this governor endorses a candidate who already won in his state. Typical idiot! Mr. Richardson…you are the first Hispanic I know to be a total moron.
Just like the Kennedys who endoresed Obama before Super Tuesday. Their candidate lost in Massachussets!
I hope the slap in their ugly faces wasn't to painful.
I definitely would not hire someone who's followers are inspired to poster Edra Zeba's comment. Rude and ignorant.
My question is, how can Barak Obama be a Christian, but yet support abortion and gay marraige? Being a Christian myself, that goes completely against what the bible teaches.
I'm christian, but I believe supporting abortion and gay marriage is actually participating in it. It is not a true christians right to judge people. I think that God will judge us as individuals. Everyone needs to get themselves together for that. For those who chose not too I still love them because that's what the word of God teaches us, to love. If I don't like or support something, I do not participate in it. Everyone needs to stop being so judgeMENTAL of other and worry about their own souls. Notice the word mental embedded in judgemental. That's why the world is so crazy now, because everyone spends so much time tearing the next person, race, group, and country down. Instead of loving and lifting up for the greater good of humanity, while it lasts.
Hope he's better at picking teams than ministers.
Whoops! MSU beat PITT. Once again Obama failed to consider the state of Michigan. Seriously, why isn't there more outrage over the disenfranchising of the Democratic voters in MI by Obama. We could of had a revote if his campaign would have supported it. "Change" he says, "Just don't change the date of the Primary in MI and FL."

Selena Gomez is an avid supporter of UNICEF, and now she's touting their Tap Project as part of World Water Week. The UNICEF ambassador is asking people to take action to ensure safe drinking water for children around the world.
According to a report from Just Jared, the Tap Project creates awareness among the adults of the world that there are children dying every day because of unsafe drinking water.
It urges those with the means to do so to get involved in this worthwhile project.
The Spring Breakers star and Love You Like A Love Song singer is urging her friends, family members, and followers to donate to the Tap Project. There are other ways to get involved, and they are clearly outlined at its donate page.
Selena Gomez has a big heart. She and boyfriend Justin Bieber are constantly giving to those less fortunate. She is also active in the Make-A-Wish Association, and she and Justin almost always visit children's hospitals when they travel from city to city.
Did you know it was World Water Week? Had you ever heard of UNICEF's Tap Project? If not, you have Selena Gomez to thank for making you aware of this very necessary project. If you donate or find another way to lend a hand, she will no doubt appreciate your efforts.

WARREN (WKZO) -- Warren Mayor Jim Fouts is filing a lawsuit seeking to overturn Proposal 1.
Voters approved the ballot question on Tuesday to phase out the personal property tax that businesses pay on equipment and replace revenue for local governments with the state's Use Tax. Fouts says the wording of the proposal was "confusing" and "blatantly unlawful."
Manufacturers and businesses have been calling for the personal property tax to be repealed for years, and it will be phased out from 2016 to 2023.

Birthday Nachos and Sashimi Salad
Okay, this is my kind of sports bar. Ebisu on Robson (604-689-8266, 827 Bute Street, website not up at time of posting, but should come soon), occupying the old Hooter's upstairs space at Robson and Bute, is a totally Vancouver joint. First of all, you can find both nachos (complete with ground beef and avocado for only $9 - beat that, any sports bar in town) AND Japanese tapas offerings like sashimi salad. When I was there, a group of what looked to be Japanese students were there for a birthday, and got the PA system Happy Birthday song, as well as candles in one of their nacho plates. Cute, eh?
As always, expectations have a great deal to do with how one receives a restaurant, and I've read some online comments that this place doesn't measure up to the creativity of Guu or Hapa Izakaya which are nearby, or Shiru-Bay in Yaletown. However, from what I can tell, they are going for something different anyway. The place has a huge screen, and smaller screens at the bar, showing the hockey game when I was there. That immediately gives you a more casual atmosphere than any of the other izakayas. They continue the sports bar theme by offering typical sports bar offerings like the nachos, and pitchers of beer at really reasonable prices, so you can come here to drink, watch sports and nibble very casually. Pitchers Sunday to Thursday are only $9.99, going up to $12.99 on weekends. Pitchers of white or red sangria are $12 for the small and $18 for the large. Wings are $4.99 for a half dozen, and can come salt and peppper (like I enjoyed), or with sports bar type sauces like spicy hot, teriyaki or barbecue. I had a sashimi salad ($9.55), while not mind-blowing, was very competent, with fresh sashimi, and a pleasant creamy dressing, mango and tomato concasse, and good mesclun. I also had their oyster motoyaki, which is three Royal Miyagi oysters with cheese, creamy sauce, spinach and mushrooms baked in the half shell for only $5. There are a wide range of fancy rolls in the menu that look good too in the $10 - 13 range.
I'm not really a sports bar person. I'm not that into beer, and tend to only drink it when there's some interesting microbrew or Belgium beer available, or if I'm just being social with a group. I'm not really into watching sports. And I'm a little bit picky about food, and rarely find pubs and sports bars to have a menu or level of food quality that appeals to me. I do, however, enjoy a nice casual atmosphere with cushy seating, a good plate of nachos or wings, and the freedom to drink and nibble rather than have a full meal. Ebisu seems to be the perfect sports bar for non-sports bar people. There is a huge variety of food to choose from, and it appears, from my three choices, to be good quality. There is a wide range of drinks at reasonable prices, including the hot sake I had for $7.95, beer, sangria, wine, shooters, "martinis," as well as premium sakes, champagne, and wine. The music is upbeat and "clubby" but I didn't mind it too much. The booths are big and comfy, and the high ceilings and room to stretch out make it a much different atmosphere from other izakayas in town.
The crowd on a Tuesday were all young, urban Asians gathering socially. No one was really watching the sports on screen. I went mid-week, and the atmosphere was low-key enough for me, and service was fine. Apparently it can get quite busy on weekends. Overall, from my one visit, I think this is a nice place to get drunk.

'Let green savings benefit charities'
6:30am Tuesday 6th May 2014 in News
COUNCIL savings made from household recycling should go to charity to encourage more re-use in the home, councillors have said.
A study said Oxford City Council should give some of the money it keeps by avoiding landfill taxes to charity.
The council has said high recycling rates are vital to stop it sending rubbish to landfill, incurring the tax.
The "positive community incentive campaign" is among recommendations from the council's scrutiny committee to increase recycling levels, to encourage residents' recycling and ruling out fines for not recycling.
It said £27,000 saved from the closure of Oxfordshire Waste Partnership should go on education campaigns aimed at students.
In 2012/13 the city council recycled 44.9 per cent of waste collected, up from 19.4 per cent in 2005/06.
The report will be discussed by the committee at 6pm tonight at the Town Hall. The public can attend.

The inspection was carried out by one of Her Majesty's Inspectors and two Additional Inspectors.
Description of the school
Summercroft Primary School is larger than average with 456 pupils on roll. It was newly formed in 2006 from established junior and infant schools on the same site. This is its first inspection. A below average number of pupils experience learning difficulties and the proportion entitled to free school meals is very small. The majority of pupils are White British but about a tenth comes from a range of different ethnic backgrounds. The proportion of pupils whose first language is not English is below that found in most schools but rising due to its location. There are currently several pupils at the early stages of language acquisition in English. The school is accredited with Investors in People and Healthy Schools Award.
|Grade 1
|Grade 2
|Grade 3
|Grade 4
Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 2
This is a good school with some outstanding features, a view which its own, slightly cautious evaluation generally supports. However, evidence gained during the inspection makes it clear that the leadership of this newly amalgamated school is outstanding and that the headteacher has quickly established a very positive climate for learning. This is a significant strength and its impact has been considerable. One parent wrote that the school now provides, 'a harmonious atmosphere in which our children can flourish'. These words are echoed by many others and supported by inspectors.
Very effective leadership and management have also ensured that pupils' achievement is good in many areas. The pupils' personal development and well-being are outstanding. Relationships are very positive between pupils and adults and pupils themselves. Behaviour is excellent. All pupils love coming to school, speak confidently about all that it offers and strive to do their best. As a result, attendance is good and the vast majority attain standards that are well above average by the time they leave for secondary school.
The quality of education is good and has some significant strengths. Teaching and learning, and therefore achievement, are good overall but vary between satisfactory and outstanding. When outstanding, lessons are very well planned, exciting and clearly focussed on the needs of all pupils. In less impressive lessons, the work set sometimes lacks the right degree of challenge. Marking and feedback occur regularly but are often not used effectively enough to set new personal targets for pupils to achieve. The curriculum for children in the Foundation Stage is good. There is a broad range of learning experiences planned for all other pupils with a good balance between all subjects. The wide range of extra activities and level of enrichment are significant strengths. Links with other agencies are firmly established. Provision for pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is good. However, the support in class for those whose first language is not English is not always effective because staff do not yet have sufficient skills or experience to cater effectively for the needs of these pupils.
The level of guidance and support for other pupils is good. Safeguarding procedures are robust and effective. New pupils quickly become part of the school community because of excellent pastoral care and effective monitoring of personal development. However, the monitoring of academic progress is less secure because assessment procedures are not yet of a consistent quality across the school.
Leadership and management of the school are good overall. However, senior leaders and those with other responsibilities provide outstanding leadership and have been directly responsible for moving the school forward significantly in a very short time. Consultation with staff and parents is developing well. Governance is good and individual governors are playing an increasing role in monitoring the school's work. As a result, the governing body has a clear view of the school's strengths and areas needing improvement. It is now well placed to oversee the next stages of the school's development. Taking all factors into account, the school gives good value for money and demonstrates an excellent capacity for further improvement.
What the school should do to improve further
- Make better use of personal targets to help individuals to sustain their high standards and to take responsibility for their own progress wherever possible.
- Improve levels of support in school for pupils whose first language is not English.
Achievement and standards
Grade: 2
Achievement and standards are good. Pupils make good progress across the school from above average starting points when starting in Year 1, to attain well above average standards in English, mathematics and science by the end of Year 6. The 2006 national tests results confirm that standards are high. Current teacher assessments indicate that these high standards are being maintained with most pupils likely to meet the challenging targets set and with about a third of pupils writing at the higher Level 5. The prevalence of high quality descriptive prose, such as that offered by one Year 6 pupil who wrote: 'Bright blue scarves swirling like crashing waves, swishing like currents, swooping and curving like birds in the sky', fully exemplifies the high standards being achieved. Overall, there are no significant differences between the achievement of girls and boys. Information and communication technology (ICT) is used especially well to support pupil achievement in many subjects. Many pupils and especially boys speak very favourably about its use and demonstrate high levels of competence for their age.
Pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities make good progress in lessons because work is carefully matched to need. However, the achievement of the growing number of pupils joining the school whose first language is not English is only satisfactory, although their proficiency increases during their time in the school as they become more confident in spoken English.
Personal development and well-being
Grade: 1
Personal development and well-being are outstanding. Pupils enjoy school and attendance is good. They say that there is little bullying in school. Pupils demonstrate an excellent awareness of how to stay safe and help each other. For example, Year 3 pupils said that they were not worried about the move to the junior building because they had an older 'buddy' partner. Pupils are enthusiastic about taking exercise and are able to make healthy eating choices. This is helped considerably by the healthy and tasty meals made available by the school. School Council members take their role very seriously and feel that adults act on their views. Pupils respond very well to the wide range of responsibilities given to them and carry out tasks such as playground mediator and lunchtime monitor effectively. Pupils make very good progress in their spiritual, social, moral and cultural development through assemblies, lessons, visits and visitors. They are confident and work very well in cooperative and problem-solving situations and respond enthusiastically to 'Talking Group' activities when pupils of different ages have excellent opportunities to discuss important issues. Older pupils regularly plan and organise fund-raising events for charities on a business model. This, together with their good achievement in basic skills, prepares pupils well for the next stage of their education.
Quality of provision
Teaching and learning
Grade: 2
The quality of teaching and learning is good and plays a key part in enabling the school to reach and maintain the high academic standards it achieves. Teachers are fully committed to those they teach. Pupils of all ages enjoy lessons and are eager to learn because teachers, effectively supported by teaching assistants, invariably present learning in ways that excite and stimulate them. In this respect, two inspiring lessons in ICT and history spring to mind. Teachers provide good opportunities for pupils to work with learning partners and take an increasingly active part in their own learning. The level of challenge is high for most pupils and progress is rapid. However, the progress of some more able pupils is not always as quick as it might be because occasionally teaching does not always cater fully for their needs.
Assessment varies in quality. In the Foundation Stage, it is very good. Elsewhere in the school it is not as consistently effective, especially in the quality of marking and target setting. The school is currently tackling this issue with a view to ensuring that pupils are fully aware of what they need to do to improve.
Curriculum and other activities
Grade: 2
The curriculum is good. The provision for the Foundation Stage children is of high quality, enabling them to make a fast start to their learning. In Years 1 to 6, provision in English, mathematics and science is consistently well planned, ensuring that pupils continue to make good progress. The provision for ICT is now increasingly well embedded in pupils' learning across the curriculum. Support for pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is good, being based on strong and well established arrangements and provision. While the school is very supportive of those pupils needing additional help with learning English, similar cross-school policies and plans for meeting their needs are not in place.
All other subjects are also well planned and provide pupils with interesting and exciting opportunities to extend their learning. Music is a notable strength in this respect. The curriculum is now increasingly, and successfully, enabling pupils to develop and apply their knowledge and skills in a wider variety of cross-curricular contexts. The school makes very good use of the local community to add breadth and enrichment to its work. The provision for promoting pupils' personal development, including personal, social and health education, assemblies and after-school activities is of a high order.
Care, guidance and support
Grade: 2
Care, guidance and support are good. Arrangements for child protection, health and safety and the safeguarding of pupils are securely implemented. Procedures to promote good behaviour and safety are consistently applied by all members of staff with very good results. Induction procedures into school are very good. The school tracks pupils' attainment effectively to ensure that pupils make sufficient progress.
Relevant programmes are in place to help those who have not made as much progress as they could. The school has improved communication with parents and the majority are very happy with the school's work. Pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, vulnerable pupils and those with particular gifts are supported effectively. The school works collaboratively with external agencies to support their needs.
Leadership and management
Grade: 2
Leadership and management are good overall with some significant strengths. The headteacher and deputy headteachers have provided outstanding leadership during the pre and post amalgamation period to create a fully unified school and an excellent learning environment for pupils. Expectations are high and challenging targets are set for pupils and staff alike in order to raise standards further. Roles and responsibilities are delegated well and teamwork is an especially strong feature. A culture of effective self-evaluation and review has been firmly established. Governors play and increasingly prominent role in this process and work closely with subject leaders and senior managers to effectively monitor the school's work. As a result, they have a clear view of its strengths and weaknesses and long term planning for future school improvement is good.

I have normal hair but it's colour-treated so sometimes it feels a bit dry. I usually spend a lot on conditioners and I got this one because it was super cheap (3, which is like... $4 I think!) and I was intrigued by the scent. I am LOVING this. The scent is just plain amazing: banana, cocunut, fruity and gourmand. I just wish it would linger a bit longer.
I leaves my hair soft and shiny just like my other conditioners, that usually cost a lot more. I love the texture and smell and will definitely repurchase, especially since it's quite cheap here. It's no miracle worker, but if your hair is not very damaged I think it's great.
Retails: $18AUD each bottle in Australia.
I have been using the shampoo and conditioner for about a month now and straight up: not worth buying.
The smell is fantastic. It is the banana fruit smell and not the artificial banana candy smell (much to my disappointment actually, but I still like it). However, when my hair dried and I went out a few of my friends said my hair smells like coconut, not banana.
The conditioner did make my hair feel smooth when wet but when it dried my hair didnt look spectacular. I find that I get best results if I blow dry it, smoothing down my hair shafts; but I dont want to do this everyday.
I have long hair so this might just be my problem but I find that my hair tangles a lot more than usual after a few hours of washing it.
As advised by a review on this website I used a tiny bit of the conditioner as a leave in conditioner after towel drying my hair. It did help de-tangle and didn't make my hair look dull once dried (as some rinse off conditioner can).
Honestly $36AUD for the shampoo and conditioner is a complete waste of money. My expectations of these two products werent high to begin with as well! I only bought it because they smell delicious and I have always been curious if The Body Shop hair products were any good. I have used way cheaper supermarket brands and I get the same and/or better results, as well as better and longer lasting smelling hair.
I would not recommend this product unless you like the smell and want to try it out for yourself. 3 out of 5 stars.

I like it! It makes my hair feel really soft after using it, although after awhile my hair gets used to it and then the effects just plateau. But I suppose thats inevitable for any product. Definitely worth giving a try!
I have gone through two bottles of this stuff in the past couple months after trying it out a few years ago. I have to say that the smell is amaazing and totally gets complimented on by the opposite gender ;) What I like is that it doesn't contain anything gunky or unnatural and it does a pretty good job of providing moisture to my hair. Even though I have extremely fine but thick hair I love dense conditioners, even though they are too heavy for my hair. This is not dense, so I used to be unsatisfied with it, but now I understand that this is just what my hair needs.
What a terrific conditioner! Not only it smells amazingly fruity, but it leaves my hair SO super soft and healthy! Since a long time, I've changed many shampoos but this has been the only conditioner I've used. My hair is fairly thick, normal and reaches my back and this conditioner leaves them incredibly soft, nourished and detangled. I've already stocked up just in case TBS plans to discontinue it, which will be heart breaking for me. For sure my Holy Grail conditioner.

Brought this yesterday as liked the idea no sulphates, protein or cones. I try to do the CG method but do use a low poo to wash once a week. Currently no product on hair. So I was a bit miffed that the conditioner lathered?????? So I do feel I have just shampooed (low poo) and that's it! Will update if my view changes over next few 'washes' I might try it as the co-wash in my CG method, unless people say they never had lather and I will check I haven't got the shampoo in the conditioner bottle!
Wow! I tried this conditioner back in the 1990s and to paraphrase Paula Begoun, it was definitely "not a conditioner." It smelled great- but basically did nothing at all to condition hair (imagine smearing liquified banana pulp through your hair, then trying to get a comb through it!). 8-O
Well, since The Body Shop reintroduced the Banana shampoo (which was always great and still is) and conditioner, I decided to give the conditioner another shot. I was a bit wary- but boy, I'm glad I did! This conditioner has been reformulated and is now fantastic, even on my thick, coarse, curly hair. I don't know what changed in the formula, but they managed to keep banana as the SECOND ingredient. It has the same wonderful natural banana scent (a tad "spicier" than the shampoo's scent) but the conditioner now has a wonderful slippery feel that seems to "sink" into my hair and allows me to comb thru wet knots and tangles with ease, even on a 2nd or 3rd-day washing. If you've never ventured into The Body Shop for your hair-care needs, I highly recommend the banana line! ******
UPDATE April 2013: They've now included Honey in the ingredients, which is a great addition and enhances an already great formula!

Like in my other review for the shampoo, I wasn't impressed initially. But I got over that and my hair really likes this. I love that it is protein free and cone free, something that is very hard to find especially when you are also looking for conditioning qualities.
The smell is banana, but to me its not fresh banana its kind of like a play doh banana. Doesn't bother me and I look forward to using this with the shampoo every time I shower. It does make my hair soft and shiny, not heavy weighed down. I just recently ran out and I am going to go and stock up soon!!
This is an excellent conditioner. I also like the fact that it really has banana in it (second on the ingredient list!), not just the fragrance. I just love it!
I was attracted to this product because of the smell. It has a strong, delicious banana scent, but does not leave my hair smelling like bananas. Here are my pros and cons of this conditioner:
- beautiful scent
- reasonably priced and although the bottle is not that big, it has lasted me a long time
- not tested on animals :)
- bad packaging: the conditioner is fairly thick and it is hard to squeeze out of the bottle. I had to store it upside down to solve this.
- not a miracle conditioner: hydrated my normal hair, but did not make it overly soft
Overall, I am happy that I tried this product out, but my new salon conditioner works much better on my hair.

Men selectively listen," Ms. Wilderotter says. She recalls making points in boardrooms, then watching the group take note of a male later saying the same thing. "When that happened, I'd stop the conversation and say, 'Do you realize I said that 10 minutes ago?' Women have to take responsibility for the dynamic around them; you can't just say 'Woe is me.' " "My experiences with gender bias are probably the norm," says Ms. Bresch of Mylan. "What I found was that expectations of women were simply lower, and this resulted in being overlooked for certain opportunities. Now as a leader, I strive to create an environment different than the one I faced, an environment where good ideas can come from anyone—young, old, men, women, assistant, executive—and opportunities are open to everyone.

It's shocking to know that for every 1,000 babies born in Mississippi, 9.4 died before their first birthday in 2011. As a whole, the United States has 6 infant deaths per 1,000 births. Missisippi's high rates of infant mortality puts them with Costa Rica (9.2), Sri Lanka (9.5), and Botswana (10.5). Which is why it's even more troubling. What is going on in Mississippi to make it the most risky place to have a baby? It makes me want to scoop up all the pregnant women and move them elsewhere.
Experts say it's not the state, it's the women who live there. But I'm still suspect. Is there something in the water or the soil down there? Louisiana and Alabama -- the two states on either side of Mississippi -- also have high rates of children dying within the first 12 months. Researchers have their suspicions of reasons why this is happening, but there are women who don't fit their description who have lost children and they don't know why.
In Mississippi, premature birth is far too common. But why are so many women there having babies too soon? Doctors think it may be the high amount of overweight and obese women having babies and that puts the child's health at risk. Mississippi leads the US in obesity.
But there are women who aren't overweight who have premature babies.
The leading cause of infant death is birth defects and while not all are preventable, the risk can be reduced by being healthy -- no smoking, drinking, or using drugs.
There are women who are the picture of health who have babies who die.
Other factors that some believe could play into why so many babies in Mississippi die are the high rate of teen birth, which goes hand in hand with prematurity, as well as poverty. Mississippi has the highest rate of teen pregnancies and people living below the poverty line. Uninsured women may not get necessary prenatal care, particularly when it was very needed.
It's also believed that race plays a role. The CDC reports that African-American women are 50 percent more likely to have a preemie. Forty percent of infants in Mississippi are born to African-American women, which could bring up the mortality rate.
I still can't help but wonder why. Why would race, age, and income affect some babies and not all? Is that really the reason? There are far more questions than answers here, but more needs to be done to help the families in Mississippi, which could then help us find more answers to bring the infant mortality rates down all over America.
What do you think of these findings?
Image via Weird Beard/Flickr
It's lack of access to health care. If you don't have much income you probably don't aren't taking prenatal vitamins or eating healthy foods because junk food is cheaper. I think your weight (whether you're underweight, overweight, or obese) plays a HUGE role in fertility and your ability to carry a child to full-term.
I don't think she's necessarily pro abortion as much as she is pro comprehensive sex education. In my opinion, if you're going to retrict access to abortion, which I am in favor of, you have to balance it out with good sex ed. Teach kids to be safe, how to be safe, and what their options are for birth control. If they don't know how to protect themselves, we can't blame them when they get pregnant.
As far as Mississippi, I would honestly wonder about the climate. Those Southern states are brutal during the summer, and babies dying from being left in cars, out in the sun too long, etc, could explain the increase, at least in part. And if you do have a state that induces early a large portion of the time, that explains part of it right there. 39 weeks is the EARLIEST a woman should be induced, and not at all is preferable. And this is from a woman who had an EMERGENCY induction at 36 weeks.
Well billsfan1104 lack of access to preventative health care, birth control, sex education, and yes even the choice to terminate an unwanted pregnancy are an indisputable player in this issue. All of those things are deeply imbedded in the republican/conservative agenda. Conservatives happily shout about keeping your legs shut as the only nessasary form of birth control or sex education. Either own the outcome or change the position, you can't have it both ways.

The Internet's history is a precarious thing, as anyone still mourning for GeoCities can tell you. Preservational efforts have been enthusiastic, but haphazard: Google has a substantial chunk of Usenet preserved, and the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is the Amazon basin of K Holes, but just try finding that random page where you read that thing about Spiderman a decade ago.
Well, in the last couple of years, universities and other institutions have apparently realized there's a whole big treasure trove of information clogging up those InterTubes, and maybe they might want to participate in archiving it.
That makes sense, considering that Tumblr alone could provide dissertation fodder for generations of anthropology grad students. Read More

Access to morning-after pill poor in hospital ERs
The results of a new survey show that the availability of Emergency Contraception, also referred to as the "morning after pill," to prevent unintended Pregnancy is limited in hospital emergency departments in the US, regardless of circumstances or affiliation with the Catholic Church.
Posing as female patients, trained interviewers telephoned emergency department staff at all 597 Catholic hospitals in the US and 615 non-Catholic hospitals to inquire about the availability of Emergency Contraception.
Poland says EU should help Russia fight bird flu
Poland called on the European Union to help Russia stop the spread of deadly bird flu, which Polish veterinary services said on Tuesday could be brought to the country by wild birds within weeks.
Fears of a global outbreak of the highly pathogenic strain of bird flu have grown after the virus spread from Asia into eastern Russia and Kazakhstan. Health experts fear it could mutate into a form that spreads from person to person.
School-based program keeps girls active after class
A school-based program designed to increase high-school girls' physical activity levels may have benefits that extend beyond school hours, new study findings show.
Girls who participated in the school-based intervention were more likely to report engaging in vigorous physical activity in the months after the program ended than were girls who did not participate in the intervention.

Firm recalls John Morrell sausages for food risk
Lykes Meat Group voluntarily recalled 35,830 lbs (16,300 kgs) of Polish sausage sold under the John Morrell brand that may have been under-processed, a U.S. food safety agency said Tuesday.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said consumers face the risk of foodborne illness when meats are not processed properly. FSIS said it had no reports of illnesses from the recall. Lykes Meat, based in Plant City, Florida, discovered the problem and began the recall on Monday.
Volkswagen uses game to fight AIDS in South Africa
The game the school children are playing in this South African town looks like Trivial Pursuit. But the subject is anything but trivial.
The boardgame was created by Volkswagen South Africa (VWSA) - a subsidiary of German car maker Volkswagen - to teach children about HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Pregnancy.
US official defends "morning-after" pill delay
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt on Monday defended the Food and Drug Administration's delayed ruling on over-the-counter access for a "morning-after" pill, saying officials never guaranteed a "yes or no" decision by this week.
On Friday, the FDA postponed a ruling on Barr Laboratories' Plan B emergency contraception because it said officials are unsure how to enforce a prescription requirement for younger girls while easing access for women over 16.
Trafficking of women, children on rise worldwide-UN
Human trafficking is on the rise worldwide, with millions of women and children ending up as sex slaves, beggars and mine laborers each year, U.N. officials said on Tuesday.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour, speaking at an Asia-Pacific human rights conference in Beijing, called trafficking in humans horrendous.
Fast food "clusters" seen around schools
Most Chicago kids have a wide array of fast food options waiting for them just a few minutes' walk from school, a new study shows.
This means kids from kindergarten to high school have easy access to high-fat, low-nutrition snacks and meals before, after and even during school, Dr. S. Bryn Austin of Children's Hospital in Boston and her colleagues report. And it isn't just a Chicago problem, Austin told Reuters Health; she expects the situation is similar in urban centers nationwide.
California files suit on french fry health warning
California Attorney General Bill Lockyer has filed a lawsuit to force top makers of potato chips and french fries to warn consumers about a potential cancer-causing chemical found in the popular snacks.
In a complaint filed on Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Lockyer sought an injunction to stop restaurant chains such as McDonald's Corp. and Wendy's International Inc. from selling french fries without some form of warning.

Starving won't make people live longer-researchers
Starving - or caloric restriction - may make worms and mice live up to 50 percent longer but it will not help humans live super-long lives, two biologists argue.
They said Sunday their mathematical model showed that a lifetime of low-calorie dieting would only extend human life span by about 7 percent, unlike smaller animals, whose life spans are affected more by the effects of starvation.
Vets with traumatic stress can kick smoking habit
Veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder have a high rate of smoking and a poor rate of quitting, but new research shows that adding smoking-cessation therapy to their routine mental health care may help.
This "integrated" care, researchers found, was more successful in helping vets kick the smoking habit than the traditional approach of sending them to a specialized smoking-cessation clinic.
Shock wave therapy helps some stroke sufferers
After a Stroke, some patients develop muscle spasm in their hand and wrist. A small study now indicates that the condition can be relieved with focused shock wave therapy, and the benefits may persist for at least 12 weeks after treatment.
Shock wave therapy is commonly used to break up kidney stones, and it has also proven useful in the treatment of various bone and tendon diseases, but there's not much known about its use for abnormal muscle tension, or "hypertonia," Italian researchers note.

Customer comments about Pierre Chair:
This chair is great for small condos. It packs a lot of style for a very small footprint. It's very comfortable to sit in, even for long periods of time. It's an exception to typical modern furniture that's designed more for looks than comfort. The only possible con is that after years of use, the leather may start to stretch and sag, detracting from the clean lines of the chair. I've owned the chairs less than a year, not long enough to know whether that will happen or to what degree.

The Law Of The Wild says kill ONLY when you are hungry
Photographer Michel Denis-Huot, who captured these amazing pictures on safari in Kenya's Masai Mara in October last year, said he was astounded by what he saw:
"These three brothers (cheetahs) have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old,' he said.
'On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping sometimes to play together.
'At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily'."
These extraordinary scenes followed.
and then they just walked away without hurting him..........
Life is short... forgive quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably...and never regret anything that made you smile
It's gangs like these that the people of Calgary have to put up with..
A bit different from the problems in other cities...
It proves that every City has their own "unique" gang problems. They roam the streets and yards night and day.
They hang out in even the best neighborhoods!
..and you CANNOT (legally) stop them.
This is probably the most amazing picture of 2011!!!
"Did you lose a cat?"
When I was around seven years old, my mom joined a gym. This was pre-Virgin Active or Planet Fitness. There were no vast halls of super-modern machinery, no personal trainers and no Lycra. It was an upstairs room above a bakery, where flabby suburban people could attempt to exercise their muscles while the demotivating smell of freshly-baked bread wafted up through the air conditioning.
My favourite piece of equipment was what I called the bum-wobbler. It was a large material strap that she placed over her hips. Flip a switch and hey presto, instant bum wobble! I think it was supposed to stimulate the muscles and maybe even shake loose a little cellulite, but mostly it was just fabulous fun to watch � a rollercoaster for the eyes.
This dream of exercise being a passive thing has by no means diminished. Switch on the television late at night and you will still find some hyper-buff salesperson testifying about the benefits of a machine that sends impulses through the abdominal muscles in order to achieve a high level of fitness - while sitting on the couch.
I�m not a fan. Yes, there might be an improvement in the muscle tone, but unless you are bed-ridden, there�s no substitute for getting out into the world and moving your body. Even if it is fairly slowly along the beachfront with the dog.
Maybe it�s the work ethic ingrained in me from when I was a little girl, but I am of the firm opinion that when it comes to fitness, you get nothing for nothing.
But I must confess, the smell of bread baking will always remind me of the bum-wobbler and the fantasy of exercise without effort.

Please watch the YouTube... Fantastic!
Believe it or not, the man in this clip takes 16 dogs out for a several mile run while he rides his bike, and then lets them swim in a lake during the run. It's amazing how well trained and disciplined they are. They even give the right of way to oncoming walkers and stop at the street intersections. If you like animals, especially dogs, you'll enjoy this short clip. Even if you're not an animal or dog person you'll still enjoy it.

Wow its been a whole year since I wrote on my couponing adventures. Well a lot has happened in a year, here is how my year has been. I gave birth to my first son Jaidyn Kennedy Jordan on November 13th at 2:50 am. We so are happy and blessed to have him and I am going to have to really step my couponing game up to a whole new level now that we have our lil man.
I have done some couponing over the last few months, but have kinda slacked a little since I am trying to find my groove with my lil man. But I am still around and will be jumping back on the bandwagon with my couponing.
