Kill them all
Steal their gold

Feed the boy, hates to kill

our story
Having children is certainly a life changing experience. In the case of us – Nisha and Preet, two childhood friends with five children between us, it sparked off a whole new insight into the way we wanted to promote health and well-being for our families.
We have strong Science backgrounds in Pharmacy and Biochemistry and along with a love for natural health, we are passionate about bringing you the same vision we saw for our own families; safe natural health products which focus on prevention rather than treatment, nutritious and delicious health food, skincare products containing simple, therapeutic ingredients and pure home care products.
We have created a site that brings you unique information from us and our fantastic community of health authors. We have handpicked a range of natural health products that focus on prevention and complement common health conditions.
Nisha's Story
My love for science and passion for helping people to be healthy and well led me to pursue a career in pharmacy. I've been practicing as a pharmacist for the last 16 years. The area I've received the most satisfaction with is working alongside other healthcare professionals in helping patients get better, through making healthy lifestyle changes to prevent and treat certain conditions. Medicine, of course, plays a vital role in treating peoples' ailments but making essential lifestyle changes is just as, if not more, important.
Growing up, my mum's love for natural preventative healthcare and healthy balanced eating also sparked off the same passion in me. This grew vastly when I became pregnant with my first child. Suffering from morning sickness and being limited in what I could and would take, I decided to opt for natural approaches. I also became more mindful of the ingredients used in personal care products, home care products and in the food my family ate.
In the pharmacy, I was also finding increasing numbers of people looking for a more natural and gentle approach to medicine with minimal side effects. Trying to focus on prevention rather than treatment, I couldn't find a quality comprehensive guide to the many great natural holistic treatments and remedies out there are for specific self limiting conditions like IBS, insomnia, headaches, stress, backache and allergies. It was at this point I was determined to create a community dedicated to natural health.
Preet's Story
Becoming pregnant with my first child was a real turning point in my life. It was the first time I began to address my health from a completely different perspective. Up until that point I was relatively fit and thought that I was healthy but as I began to take a more detailed view of the food I consumed, I realised that it was based on a diet of pretty much all processed food with excess hidden sugar. It wasn't so much that I was regularly eating 'junk food' or take- outs, in fact I was eating mostly what I considered home cooked food but I realised that my 'home cooking' was not actually that healthy and probably wasn't going to benefit my family's health very much at all.
I started to analyse ingredients more closely and learned more about the amazing benefits of consuming raw, natural food. I also began to look at other chemicals that my family and I were exposed to on a daily basis, especially in the skincare we all use. I realised that for years I spent ridiculous amounts of money on skincare products that make an array of misleading and exaggerated claims. In my opinion all they provided me was psychological benefit with no real results being delivered at all. There are so many powerful, natural ingredients that can be used on the skin and I'm passionate about sourcing skincare products that contain these.
Creating Natural Health Star has allowed me to use knowledge from both my Biochemistry degree and IT background. I am passionate about exploring the wonderful properties of natural ingredients and how they can benefit our health.

A YOUNG Liverpool Reserves side fell to a goal in the first minute of injury time at Middlesbrough last night.
Delayed by 20 minutes as a result of a violent thunderstorm before kick-off, the game, played at Northern League Billingham Synthonia, started brightly with Liverpool almost striking a blow with just four minutes played.
John Welsh unleashed a low drive from the edge of the area which whistled wide.
Igor Biscan then let fly with a 25-yard drive which carried some power, thudding into Boro keeper David Knight.
Wilson again went close early in the second half, while Chris Butler, a 62nd minute substitute for David Mannix, warmed the ribs of Knight with a fierce effort from the edge of the area.
It needed something special to separate the sides and there was nothing anyone could do as Boro grabed a 91st minute winner.
Morrison took control on the right-hand edge of the area, cut past two and unleashed an unstoppable shot over Harrison into the keeper's top left-hand corner.
Liverpool:> Harrison; Otsemobor, Whit-bread, Raven, Biscan, O'Donnell, Guthrie, Welsh, Smyth, Mannix (Butler 62), Warnock.
Not used:> Luzi, Wilkie, Noon, Smith.

"Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes." – Benedict Cumberbatch
This month's QotM is something I've often thought and tried to explain to people.
It's those thoughts that I still catch myself thinking every so often.
When I find someone to settle down with, I'll be happy.
When I get a promotion, I'll be happy.
When I buy my own house, I'll be happy.
When I have kids, I'll be happy.
And so on.
You could spend your whole life seeking these things and never find them –never find the right person to marry, or you do, but it ends badly after years of marriage. Maybe you never end up having kids or maybe something happens and the career you thought you were going to have disappears.
We're all looking for our happily ever after, like at the end of all the fairytales. But life is about the journey. It's the things that happen a long the way, and it's important to enjoy it. You don't actually need those things to be happy.
We need to stop and smell the roses. If you don't learn to be happy with what you have right now, you won't be happy when you get that marriage, or that child, or that promotion, and you'll wonder why.
If you want to be happy, be happy.

Western Washington Claims D-II Rowing Title
May 31, 2009
Courtesy of Villanova
CHERRY HILL, N.J.—Western Washington had a winning margin of more than four seconds in the Grand Final of the Division II Eights on Sunday morning and won its fifth consecutive title at the 2009 NCAA Women's Rowing Championships at Cooper River Park. The Vikings finished with 18 points atop the team standings, as the team also took second in the Division II Fours.
In the Eights race, Western Washington pulled out to a winning lead in the second 500 meters. The Vikings were less than half a second off the pace set by Mercyhurst in the first 500 meters but pulled out to a nearly four-second margin by the midway point of the race. Western Washington crossed the finish line in a time of 6:52.60, while the Lakers had a time of 6:57.22. Seattle Pacific (7:00.22) and Philadelphia University (7:05.70) finished third and fourth, respectively.
Nova Southeastern enjoyed a comfortable winning margin in the Division II Fours to win its first individual championship. The Sharks led Mercyhurst and Western Washington by nearly three seconds after just 500 meters and held on to the margin to eventually win by 3.70 seconds with a time of 7:53.64. The Vikings were second in 7:57.34 and the Lakers took third in 7:57.70.
Mercyhurst earned four team points for a third-place finish in the Fours race and nine points for its finish in the Eights competition to finish second in the team standings with 13 points. Nova Southeastern was third with 11 points and Philadelphia University had eight team points and finished fourth.
The two at-large teams in the championship, Dowling and Seattle Pacific, were not eligible to receive team points. Dowling won the Petite Final of the Division II Eights with a time of 7:11.38, coming in just over five seconds ahead of Nova Southeastern.
Western Washington has now won five of the eight Division II Rowing Championships since the events inception in 2002. The Vikings have won nine individual championships.
Western Washington 18
Mercyhurst 13
Nova Southeastern 11

Joanna Mason - Senior Program Manager, Expression BlendThank you for the video.
I have noticed that colleges that have web design and development programs including Flash, animation and games are very resistence to even considering offering courses covering the Microsoft Expression Studio and using Web and Blend.
Could you address the adoption issue at the college level?
What is Microsoft doing about this problem?
Is it catching on or is everbody waiting for at least version 3.0 before they offer courses using Expression Studio as part of a web design and development program.
I for one think if you point out the strengths you can leverage in terms of .Net Framework class libraries, language choice, SQLServer and Visual Studio and ASP.NET you can make a very strong case.
Most are still using Adobe Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Illustrator, Flash, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Will the Expression Studio ever have a NLE for video or is Microsoft given up on this type of application at the professional level?
I think a release date announcement regarding Microsoft Expression Studio 3.0 will be made at Mix 2009 so I will not ask the obvious question.
Thanks again for the video.
PS. I will confirm that the designers, animators and graphics artists I know do not have Microsoft on their mind when it comes to designer applications or tools. At best they have heard of the Expression Studio.

Pottery Caffe For Sale
Just found out that Pottery Caffe, Boulder's lovely little paint-your-own-pottery and espresso bar, is for sale. I've always liked going there because they're very accommodating to dogs of all sizes. My Great Dane is as welcome there as my Chihuahua. I would never actually bring the Great Dane in of course, because he is named after Ferdinand the Bull for some pretty obvious reasons and it's generally considered unwise to bring a bull into a china (pottery) shop. Anyhoo, if anyone reading this has interest in owning-your-own paint-your-own, get in touch with me. It's been well-established for 9 years and has a superb location tucked on the north side of Boulders venerable McGuckin's hardware store and right in between Salon Salon and JJ Wells so it gets great foot traffic. Here's the website: http://www.potterycaffe.com
Crazy Days
I think the type of client I work with at any given time is a reflection of that time and whew! are the times a-crazy now. In the middle of moving to a new home I thought it was a good time to also completely remodel my website and start a new business as a Silpada jewelry rep and continue scheduling photo shoots and offer to start doing photo shoots of new home listings for my real estate agent. Not sure why that sounded good all at the same time but there it is. My most recent photo shoot felt just like my life: chaotic! But it all turned out fun. She had three adorable dogs and wanted a family portrait of herself with them all. Great idea but – wow – these were energetic dogs 🙂 Shirley, the human, is a lovely person and her dogs just adore her. I think we finally got some good shots once the critters calmed down. Here's a sample!

Many bloggers have dreams of becoming a full-time blogger so they can quit their jobs and work around their own schedule on something that they will will enjoy. Of course, the reality is that only a very small percentage of those who start off with these intentions will ever achieve "pro blogger" status.In order to make it to the point where you can sustain yourself on just a blogging income, you'll first have to get started somewhere. Building a successful and profitable blog part-time can be a real challenge, but with a strategic plan and a lot of discipline you can certainly build a blog on a part-time basis that can do very well for you financially.
When I started blogging I had no intentions of doing it long-term or making money from a blog, I just wanted to add some content to a static website, so I added a blog. However, a few months later I started to see how much potential existed. I now have three blogs that make money directly (although this one only makes a small amount), plus I do a good bit of freelance blogging for additional income and my primary blog indirectly promotes my design service. My blogging efforts have always been part-time (at least for now), so I know that it's possible to have some success on a part-time basis starting from scratch.
Tips for Building a Blog Part-Time:
Have Realistic Expectations, but be Aggressive
During the time that I've been blogging, I've come across a huge number of bloggers who start out with so much enthusiasm and passion for building their blog and earning a substantial income. Unfortunately, most of them no longer have the same dedication to their blog or expectations for the future, because the reality was disappointing to them.
If you start out by expecting to earn six figures by working part-time hours, you're setting yourself up to be disappointed, even if others would consider your results successful. Those who have realistic expectations of what they'll get out of their blog and what they'll have to put in will usually be able to stick around long enough to see the fruits of their labor.
Although I think it's important to realize how much work and time is involved in building a blog, I also think it's important to be aggressive and to go after success. Those bloggers who I know personally that have done very well did not just put in some effort to see what would happen. Aggressively go after success and it is very achievable.
Approach it for the Long-Term
As I said earlier, building a blog takes time. If you go in with the approach that you're building an asset that will help you more in the long-term than it will in the short-term, you'll have an outlook that prepares you for success. Very few bloggers are able to build a strong blog overnight, and if you're willing to put in a lot of hours early on without a whole lot of reward, you'll be paid off in the long run. If you're looking for a short-term answer to making money online, there are better methods than blogging.
Find Your Motivation
Building a blog part-time will require you to make sacrifices in order to dedicate time to your blog. Maybe you'll lose some time with family and friends, or maybe you'll have to temporarily give up something that you enjoy. During these times you'll need to have something that motivates you to keep going. By knowing specifically why you want to build a successful blog, you can always keep that motivation in mind when you're questioning why you are making sacrifices.
Focus on Building it First, Making Money will Come Later
When it comes to monetizing a blog, I've tried both approaches – monetizing from the start and waiting several months before attempting to monetize. Actually, when I waited to sell ads at Vandelay Design I was actually monetizing the blog through design services and freelance writing, so it's not like I was making nothing for the 6+ months with no ads.
After trying both approaches, I think my next blog launch (whenever that may be) will have no ads for a while. Making money from ads with a new site is possible, but the space used for ads may be better off being used to promote something on the site and helping to encourage growth.
Whether you sell ads at first or not, the main focus should be on building a strong blog, not on making as much money as possible. A blog that's full of valuable, well-targeted content will have plenty of opportunities to make money, but if your focus is on the money rather than the content, the results are likely to suffer.
Set Your Weekly Schedule
Some bloggers encourage a very structured posting schedule and others prefer more flexibility. Personally, I think it all depends on the blog and the style of the blogger. However, even if you're not scheduling your posts, it's helpful to have a rough schedule of when you'll be working on your blog each week. Building a blog takes time and effort, and it's easy to let other things take priority if the time isn't scheduled.
Get the Support of Your Family
Depending on your current family situation, your blogging efforts may impact others in a big way. You may be willing to make some sacrifices, but others will also have to be willing. It's important that those in your family are made aware of your intentions and why you're doing it. I know I wouldn't be able to dedicate the time that I do if my wife wasn't behind me 100%. We both make sacrifices right now, with hopes that it will pay off in the long run.
Set Monthly Goals
As a part-time blogger you'll need something to keep you going from time-to-time, and you'll also need some direction in order to keep yourself on the right path. By setting measurable monthly goals you'll always have something to be working towards, and it will be easy to see how you are progressing.
One of the keys to setting goals is to set the right goals. If you're main priority is making money, then income should be one of your most significant goals. Other things like pageviews, subscriber growth, inbound links, etc. can ultimately help to make you more money, but don't lose focus of what's most important to you, whatever that may be.
Get Involved in the Community
One of the biggest factors in building my primary blog was the help and support of others in the blogging community. Whatever niche you are in there are certainly other bloggers that would be valuable members of your network. Take some time to comment on other blogs, use Twitter, write guest posts, even visit some forums.
You'll find that blogging is extremely interactive, and it's pretty hard to build a successful blog without surrounding yourself with other bloggers. People help those that they like and they also tend to follow the blogs of other that they've gotten to know on a deeper level.
Find Your Style
One of the biggest mistakes bloggers can make is trying to be like the leading blogs in their niche. There's nothing wrong with learning from others and observing what works, but make a strong effort to find your own identity and go out of your way to be unique. Do whatever it is that you do best and give others the opportunity to take notice. This is especially important in crowded niches where readers have plenty of other blogs that they could be reading.
Focus on Quality Over Quantity
When it comes to quantity of posts, there is a huge variety. Some bloggers post a few times per month, and others crank out several per day. There is no right or wrong, but make sure you're allowing yourself enough time to create the highest quality content possible. One really strong post per week is better than 3 or 4 mediocre posts.
Limit the Number of Projects at One Time
As a part-time blogger you'll be stretched for time as it is. Most likely you'll have plenty ideas of other projects that you could be starting, but resist the temptation to take on too much, at least until your blog is established. Often, building the blog's audience in the early days will take more time that it will to maintain the blog in the future, so your schedule may open up a bit if you can be patient.
This is something that I struggle with personally. I currently have 3 blogs and although I post to each one a few times per week, I know that they're not as strong as they would be if I had fewer responsibilities. In my case, I'm able to manage the three, but it's not an optimal situation for a one-man operation.
Know What You Want
In terms of income, there is a huge variety of goals from one blogger to the next. One person may want to make $300 a month and another may want to be John Chow and make $30,000 a month. It's important to know what you want so you can always keep that in mind when you're working on building the blog. Don't let others tell you what you should be making or what you should be after, it's a decision you'll have to make for yourself.
Celebrate Minor Victories
Because building a blog part-time can take a great deal of discipline and persistence, it's a good practice to be able to appreciate and enjoy even your minor accomplishments. What you do to celebrate or acknowledge your achievements is up to you, but it's important that it gives you a sense of satisfaction, yet still motivates you to do even better.
Pay Attention to How You Use Your Time
Efficiency is critical for part-time bloggers. There's very little time to waste, so pay attention to how you are spending your time and what is producing results. Use a to-do list and daily goals to keep yourself on track and you'll find that you get more done and you waste less time.
Find Multiple Sources of Income
Selling ad space isn't the only monetization option for bloggers. I highly advocate mixing in some other sources of income, such as some type of relevant service. Doing freelance writing for other blogs can also help hold you over until your own blogs are producing more income.
Learn from the Best
Take some time to really examine the leading blogs in your niche, or even in other niches. Take notice to what they're doing to create success and see how you can apply it to your own blog. Make an effort to get to know some of the leading bloggers in your niche, you never know what you'll be able to pick up from them. Personally, doing freelance work for blogs like Smashing Magazine and Freelance Switch has helped me to get to know some successful and influential bloggers and I've learned some things about what it takes to create an A-list blog.

Ninite can disable the built-in automatic update features of some applications.
It works via the /disableautoupdate switch and currently supports these apps:
* iTunes update and Apple Software Update will be disabled. The QuickTime update check cannot be turned off.
Other applications are unaffected by this switch.
Here's an example command:
NinitePro.exe /select Firefox Flash /disableautoupdate
It installs Firefox and Flash with their built-in auto-update mechanisms disabled. You can then fully manage the software updates with Ninite.

BOLD is a global arts-based movement inspiring communities to create childbirth choices that work for mothers through education, truth and action.
Karen Brody's play, BIRTH, tells the true story of eight powerful women giving birth today. A theatrical experience not to be missed, BIRTH was presented throughout the month of September in 2007 and 2008 and over Labor Day weekend in 2006, locally and around the world, to benefit organizations who work to create childbirth choices that work for mothers.
BOLD 2008 was amazing. More that 500 people attended a performance of Birth, a screening of the new documentary, Orgasmic Birth, or a Red Tent event. Since our first performance of Birth with Seattle Midwifery School in 2006, more than 1500 people have attended a performance of Birth or a Red Tent event in the Puget Sound area.

Office of University Community Standards
The Office of University Standards (formerly Judicial Affairs) supports University educational goals by promoting a just, safe, orderly, civil, and positive University climate for learning, in the classroom, in University residence halls/apartments, and on the campus.
The University Student Conduct Code provides students, faculty, staff, and visitors with a procedural guide to initiate a complaint against a student when their rights as members or visitors to the University community have been allegedly violated. For all students, the Conduct Code supports compliance with state and federal laws pertaining to drugs, alcohol, weapons, physical assault, harassment, sexual harassment, sexual assault or abuse, acquaintance (date) rape, relationship violence, discrimination, and racial and sexual preference harassment. Intervention by the Office of University Standards addresses inappropriate conduct and also serves to educate students on how their conduct affected themselves, others, and the University community.
University expectations for student conduct as outlined in the University Student Conduct Code are reviewed through the Rules Revision Committee that includes student participation.
Students (undergraduate and graduate, resident and commuter) can apply to become Administrative Hearing Board volunteers. When selected, Hearing Board members are trained to hear evidence and render fair and objective decisions on allegations brought to the formal hearing process.
Maintenance of Public Order
The University wishes to maintain public order appropriate to a university campus without unduly limiting or restricting the freedom of speech or peaceful assembly. The State University Board of Trustees' Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order (Part 535 of Title VIII—Compilation of Codes, Rules, and Regulations of the State of New York) are printed in the Student Conduct Code brochure.

When former U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker moved to Bridgeport a few years ago and got involved in local affairs, he was stunned to learn that municipal employees in Connecticut can serve on their towns' legislative bodies. "It just doesn't work," he said in an interview Tuesday. "It is a clear violation of best governance practices." We agree.
Mr. Walker will submit testimony to a General Assembly hearing Wednesday in support of a bill that would prohibit municipal employees from serving on any boards that handle a city's or town's finances.

By Zoë Roller, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – In the past week the Complexo do Alemão in Rio's Zona Norte (North Zone) has seen several clashes between civilians and peacekeeping forces. While no new incidents have been reported since September 7th, the unrest spurred officials to reevaluate the pacification strategy in Alemão. These events mark the largest shootout between police and civilians since the community was invaded by peacekeeping forces in November 2010.
The unrest started on Sunday, September 4th, when an alleged noise complaint escalated into a street fight. Police fired rubber bullets and pepper spray into a crowd of civilians, who retaliated by throwing rocks. On Tuesday evening violence broke out again: Ana Lucia da Silva, a fifteen year-old on her way home from school, was killed, and a 47 year old man identified only as Luis was hit in the head by shrapnel from a grenade.
Da Silva's death made international news, but reports disagree on the exact circumstances. According to the Associated Press, officials denied any fatalities in Tuesday's altercation; later that day, however, Al Jazeera reported that the young woman was killed, and sixteen others wounded by stray bullets.
Al Jazeera also stated that heavily armed drug traffickers from a yet-to-be-pacified neighboring favela raided police units on Tuesday and opened fire on officers. AP confirms this statement, but citizen journalists claim the only shots fired came from police.
Walmir dos Santos, a longtime resident of the Complexo do Alemão, was skeptical about traffickers invading the favela. "They don't have images, they don't have audio—there's no proof. This is just to sell papers…It's to create panic." He added, "It raises another question: if the police have no proof that there were traffickers, why were shots fired?" Many residents saw bullets streaking across the sky on Tuesday night, though they were unsure who was firing.
General Adriano Pereira Júnior, commander of the Eastern Military Command, announced that the shots were fired from Baiana and Adeus, two hills within the Complexo that were not officially within the peacekeeping force's jurisdiction. "Alemão and Penha do not have heavy weapons," the general said. On Wednesday, over one hundred Military Police occupied the two hills, with more reinforcements on the way. Soldiers set up barricades blocking access points to the community.
City Councilman Zaqueu Teixeira stated that leaving the hills unoccupied "allowed confrontations alongside the army's forces," and made it clear that peacekeeping forces "can't have vulnerable points."
Governor Sérgio Cabral admitted that pacification security policy is fragile, and announced that the pacification units would undergo a review. State Security Secretary José Mariano Beltrame confirmed that traffickers had reentered Alemão, but he did not disclose how many or where they came from.
In an official statement, the Security Secretariat said that the violence was prompted either by the closure of an illegal gas business belonging to a trafficker's brother, or the army's extended occupation of the area. It was announced on August 30th that troops will remain in Alemão and Penha until July 2012, and 2,200 new soldiers will be added to the 1,700 already there.
On Wednesday, city councilman Marcelo Freixo visited the community to talk to residents about their views on UPP. He found that while most people welcomed the peacekeeping force, they wanted government presence in areas other than security. "The State brought in military forces, but there's not an investment in the areas of health, education, or sanitation."
Freixo added that until residents in the Complexo feel they can trust peacekeeping officers, further conflict may be unavoidable. "There is great strain within that community. And the lack of tact can cause military conflicts … Residents do want the police presence, but there are complaints about their treatment."
Correction: October 31, 2011
This article was first published noting the UPP as part of the peacekeeping force, but although Alemão is pacified and has UPP Social, as a community reader clarified – there is no UPP unit in Complexo de Alemão yet.

Over 23 percent of American homeowners are underwater. If you owe more on your home than its current market value, you are also part of that statistic. Like many underwater homeowners you might be struggling to pay your mortgage and face the possibility of foreclosing in your mortgage. Many in your situation have considered filing for bankruptcy in a last ditch effort to save their home. Is this a good idea? This article will help you answer that question and understand what your options are.
Let's start by saying that bankruptcy should always be your last and final option. Bankruptcy has serious financial consequences that will follow you for years. For instance, lenders are unlikely to approve a future loan application if you have a bankruptcy in your credit history and employers will sometimes disregard applicants who have filed for bankruptcy.
Having said that, in extreme situations a bankruptcy may be the only way of saving your underwater mortgage from foreclosure. Well, let us qualify that statement. Bankruptcy can never save your home from foreclosure, but it can delay foreclosure and give you the opportunity of finding a way to reduce your mortgage payments and keep your home.
There are two main chapters you can file under bankruptcy law when facing foreclosure: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.
Chapter 7.
Filing under Chapter 7 will provide you with an immediate stay on the foreclosure, but unless your financial situation changes and you can afford your mortgage payments, it will only be a temporary solution. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a type of personal liquidation, where all of your assets are sold to pay your creditors. The advantage of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is it allows you to keep exempt assets such as your automobile and personal items. Chapter 7 also allows you to keep a percentage of the equity on your home. Of course, if you are underwater you have no equity on your home, so that doesn't help much.
Chapter 13.
Chapter 13 provides a better chance to save your home from foreclosure if you have negative equity (i.e. are underwater) on your home. Filing under Chapter 13 will give you the chance of restructuring your debts and late payments over a period of 3 to 5 years. You will have to prepare a repayment plan, which you must then "sell" to your lender. If the judge and your lender (or lenders) accept your repayment plan, you can keep your house as long as you stay current on your payments.
In conclusion, bankruptcy is a last-ditch option for homeowners who do not qualify for a mortgage refinance or a loan modification and want to keep their home. Always apply for a loan modification before you consider filing for bankruptcy. If you have negative equity on your home and you want to save your property from foreclosure, you may want to consider filing under Chapter 13. A Chapter 7 requires you to liquidize all your non-exempt assets, which includes your home if is used as a security for a loan.

The Jefferson Cary Foundation has announced that the organization's Endowment Fund now has topped $500,000. Mary Harrigan, Executive Director, of the Foundation made the announcement at the organization's annual meeting on April 20th at Cary Medical Center.
"It is remarkable that our Board of Directors has been able to grow this fund from an original amount of $64,000", said Harrigan who has directed the foundation since 1999. "We have gone through good and bad economic times but the board stayed focused managing the investment over time and getting over $500,000 is truly a milestone for the organization".
The foundation's Board of Directors established the Endowment Fund in order to create a permanent source of income that would be available to improve health care services at Cary Medical Center. Originally the board set a goal of $500,000 before income generated from the fund could ever be used. At their April 20 Annual Meeting the board raised the cap to $1 million dollars. The principle of the fund will remain permanently intact, only the interest earned will ever be used. Peter Doebener, newly elected President of the Foundation's board said that the Endowment Fund will be a great asset for the hospital.
"Given these uncertain times in health care", said Doebener who also sits on the Board of Directors for Pines Health Services, "knowing that we are building a substantial and permanent endowment that will, at some future point, provide additional funds to the hospital for the purchase of new technology, a special capital need or other project can be very reassuring. We are so very grateful to the hundreds of donors who have made this possible over nearly a quarter of a century".
The Endowment Fund has been built through the foundation's Annual Appeal and memorial donations. Mary Harrigan said that while the Endowment Fund as seen dramatic growth the foundation has also provided additional support over its history.
"The Endowment Fund is one of our key development objectives", said Harrigan. "But we have also generated more than $1 million dollars in support of major hospital projects including the Building for Specialty Clinics and Oncology, The Center for Women and Children's Health, the Women's Imaging Center, and the new Jefferson Cary Cancer Center".
Harrigan pointed out that the foundation also manages and awards scholarship funds, memorial funds, and provides support for special initiatives.
A major project of the foundation is the Annual Cary Classic Benefit Golf Tournament which is now in its 34th year and will be held in July. The tournament has raised more than $250,000 and is the foundation's major annual fund raising event. Pam Scheppele, outgoing President of the Foundation's Board of Directors said that the generosity of donors has been key to the success of fund raising efforts.
"We are just all so impressed with the support we have received over all the years from our generous donors", said Scheppele who served as president for some 13 years. "This level of philanthropy is absolutely critical for the hospital to meet the growing health care needs of our community".
Donations to the Jefferson Cary Foundation are Tax Exempt. For more information on the foundation or to discuss memorial gifts contact Mary Harrigan at 207-493-4849.
Here are just a few of the many positive things our patients have to say about their the care they received at Cary Medical Center.
Mike is a great PT - - just loved him.
The Cary Physical Therapy folks were friendly and welcoming. They introduced themselves and called me by my first name which made me feel like they thought of me as a person and not just another patien. We set goals and met them - they taught how to walk correctly with a cane which I found helpful. My month at Cary P.T. was an enjoyable experience. I'd recommend it to anyone.
I always choose Cary for myself and my son without a doubt. We have always had a wonderful experience.
I want to thank every one at Cary Medical Center for help and kindness. Not just one person everyone was so nice. That's why I only go to Cary Medical Center Cary is the best hospital around.
I came in by ambulance due to heart issues. The nurses were excellent, lab techs very competent.
I was very happy with the care I received at Cary. Just wanted to say that in addition to the clear level of medical competence & professionalism of all the staff I met, regardless of level, I also appreciated their interpersonal demeanor & bedside manner. I was afraid, and the were able to calm my fears.
I had wonderful care from nurses & CNA's during my 12 day staff. Too many to record names.
I was very impressed over all with my colonoscopy. Dr. & nurses were excellent and never once made me feel I was an imposition to them when they were so busy. I have already recommended Cary to my friends
All were informed and had excellent attitudes. Very professional and caring.

"Your patient is a 58 year old male presenting with chest pain 8/10, pulse is 190, BP 80/70 and respirations 20," the instructor said. "Suddenly he snorts and collapses; you see this rhythm. What do you want to do?"
I swallowed and looked down at the greyish plastic face of the mannequin and watched as little black lines squiggled their way across the EKG monitor with an impending sense of doom. Somebody call a code, I think I'm having a heart attack! SVT, V-tach, PEA, Amiodarone, Adenosine, Atropine…my brain raced through a jumble of names and symptoms and algorithms. Just like an episode of "ER", the world suddenly seemed to move in slow motion around me. The sound of my own heart thundered in my ears. I was running my first simulated major code!
For the first three days of Christmas break, I decided to tackle the challenge of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification. I signed up for the course eager for a chance to learn more about EKG interpretation and to practice more advanced nursing skills. I was not disappointed. The challenge on day one was absorbing a mountain of information and forcing myself to sit still for the better part of 8 hours. After deciphering what must have been miles of rhythm strips, I was still at a loss to identify runs of PAC's from third degree heart block. I left, slightly disheartened (pun intended) with rhythm strips and terminology scrambled in my mind and all over my notebook. I had even drawn a bundle branch block on the back side of my hand when the margin of my paper was full.
As we settled into day two, things picked up. We were no longer sitting in desks and squinting at squiggly lines on graph paper. No, this day we would practice! I was eager for some hands on learning, that is, until I was I was handed the leg of a mannequin and told to pick up a drill. I stared at the large bore needle and again at the leg…this was going where? Don't we need an anesthesiologist first? I felt for the flat space on the bone just below and slightly medial to the knee cap. Squeezing slightly, I started the motor. I inhaled as I felt the slight resistance of the tibia against the needle's edge, then exhaling, I felt it give way. Ok, breathe. I had just started my first intraosseous catheter! I decided that was possibly the scariest, coolest experience in my nursing education thus far!
Day three began where we had left off on day two, minus the drill. Simulated codes and various scenarios were run time and time again until our arms hurt from repeated compressions and our reactions to "code blue" were immediate. It was time to test. I was the first to be called for the check off. Taking a breath, I began to mentally rehearse my H's and T's and then I heard my instructor ask…
"What do you want to do?"
I knew, despite my pounding head, that H's and T's didn't stand for" headache" and "tired" but somehow that's all that came to mind. It all moved very quickly then. I heard my own voice saying, "We have V-tach, that's a shock-able rhythm, charge 200…can I get 1mg epinephrine and have 300 Amiodarone on hand in case we need it?" That fast, I passed my first simulated major code. I sighed with relief; my mannequin would live to arrest another day. Leaving the room on the last day of ACLS, I have more confidence than when I went in. In no way do I claim to be an expert; far from it. In fact when I witness my first actual code, I think I'll probably still feel like I want to heave. I figure that's normal. The confidence comes from having pursued something I was intimidated by and succeeding despite the fear. That has changed the way I look at things. I learned two very important lessons from ACLS. First, only defibrillate dead people. Second, I can't possibly know what I'm capable of until I'm willing to risk disappointment. This course taught me the benefits of experience are worth more than the fear of failure. In the mail today was an envelope with my official certification inside. Staring at the little red card I smiled. Christmas came early this year!

An anti-cocaine vaccine that has shown promise in animal research is proceeding to Phase I testing in humans. The dAd5GNE vaccine, developed by researchers at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, will be tested with 30 active cocaine users in a study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
According to an Aug. 8 news release from the New York institutions, the vaccine links a cocaine-like molecule to a disrupted protein of an inactive virus, producing an immune response. The immune system then activates antibodies that attack the virus and the molecules. This would mean that any subsequent use of cocaine would result in an immediate response from the antibodies.
"The goal of this vaccine is to prevent cocaine from reaching the brain," said Ronald Crystal, MD, chairman of the Department of Genetic Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine. "While we know that this works very well in animals, now we need to find out if the vaccine will cause enough anti-cocaine antibodies to be produced so that it works in humans, too."
Study participants will have to abstain from cocaine use for at least 30 days prior to receiving the first injection (with abstinence to be verified with frequent urine screens), and will receive a total of six injections over the course of the 32-week study. They will meet with researchers at least twice a week for assessment of the vaccine's safety and efficacy.

Expressions is amazing !!! Attention to detail all the time. I have never had a bad experience at any of there salons. I have been to all of them. They onlyhire the best !!
THE WORST SALON EXPERIENCE. I have been getting full head of highlights for the past 5 years and have been to a number of salons. The overall hair was done nicely, but the service was complete shit. Unfriendly workers who were more preoccupied with their conversation than their customers. The owner was a total airhead aswell. It was way overpriced for what you are getting and i will NEVER go back there!!!
Amazing salon, have been going for many years
Expressions salon is an amazing mini escape inwhich from the minute I walk in I am greeted and treated like a valued customer. Never have I been to a salon which has always provided me with the best results everytime. My colourist Sam is outstanding and extremely talented. Having seen me at my worst and being able to make me feel beautiful even after losing alot of hair due to illness she truly is incredible. Furthermore, all the staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and always smiling which makes me feel like I'm truly giving myself an enjoyable experience. Prices are reasonable and they use the best products throughout the salon as I've been some places that sell nice products but only use inexpensive styling and washing items whilst your there. There ability to know the latest product trends and use them educated me and made me see how they work and thus was more inclined to buy. Love this place and have had some bad salon experiences but never here! They truly care about making each customer happy and as for Sam she does an amazing job. I've been so happy I cried the first time she did my hair because it was just so spot on.

Experiences in Ecuador
Never one to do something the normal way, when my nurse practitioner residency started, I opted to expand my horizons and venture to the southern hemisphere in Quito, Ecuador. Doing my residency in the Ecuadorian health care system was one of the most profound and life changing experiences I ever had.The first week was rough. My luggage did not arrive for 4 days, it was cold and wet, I was battling the high altitude at 10,000 feet, and to make matters even worse, I had a gnawing, stabbing pain in my ribs that made it difficult to sleep, breath, and move. Within my first week of being in Ecuador, I found myself experiencing the health care system first hand. I had to go to a local hospital and get chest x-rays, purchase an unknown medication that I was given a prescription for from a local doctor whom I hardly knew, and place my trust in the hands of a health care system that I did not yet trust. In fact, trusting in the health care system was a challenge in and of itself. Although I have spent some time volunteering as a nurse internationally before, I found myself completely unprepared to deal with what I would soon experience both personally and as a nurse practitioner.
My perspective of global health completely changed in "Sala de Partos," the labor and delivery unit at a public hospital in Ecuador. "Sala de Partos" was a basic operating room that had several stretchers lying side by side. Women were admitted here for various reasons: they were in active labor, they had problems with their pregnancy, they miscarried, or they had a fetal demise. They had no privacy and the environment certainly did not give them a sense of dignity. They were young, scared, and alone in this process. Taped on the wall, as if it were an afterthought, but definitely not a practice honored at this facility, was a journal article citing that there were less birthing complications in women who had the support of their family during the labor process and furthermore, that it was the right of a woman to have the support of her family during this time.
Each woman was assigned a stretcher, where she would lay on her back with only the package of maxi pads she had brought with her to serve as a pillow. If she were lucky, she had a sheet to cover her. There were no pain meds, no epidurals, and their IV poles served as the one thing they could grasp onto when the intensity of labor struck them. They would arch their backs and cry out saying "No puedo! No puedo!" ("I cannot! I cannot!") This was a task that they would have to complete alone.
It was in this place that I met Ana. Ana was a 29 year old G1 P0 who had ruptured her membranes almost 24 hours prior and was now facing the sting of intense contractions as her baby desperately tried to enter this world. She grabbed hold of the IV pole and her face turned beet red as she cried out in pain. She lay on her back, sitting in a pool of blood, urine, and feces, her thin blue gown had been pulled up revealing her perineum to the group of first year students who stood around talking about her case as if she wasn't there. I, too, was among that group. This was rounds after all. I had to analyze the case and try to answer the questions right. Yet, something in me hesitated.
I walked up to her; she looked at me, sweat was dripping down her face and her eyes were full of fear as if to tell me she could not go on anymore. I grabbed hold of her hand. It was as if in that instant it didn't matter that I was a white woman from a strange country who has never experienced child birth; I was a presence to her, a comfort in a time when comfort simply did not exist. For a moment, I had set aside my note taking and question asking role and became her source of support. She held onto my hand tightly and I coached her through labor all the way until the delivery of her son. She had never let go of my hand and she turned to me with a smile on her face and simply said, "Gracias" with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Ana's lesson to me was that often it is the simple things that make the difference in the lives of our patients. Sometimes, we get caught up in all the data and facts and forget that we are dealing with a human being who isn't as concerned about data as much as whether they are going to live to see the next day. They are not as interested in our medical rounds as they are in keeping their dignity and being respected. We are here there for them; they are not here for us. Sometimes all they are asking for is a hand to hold and a comforting presence.
Ecuador was a place that many times, challenged my educational foundation and personal values. There were a times that things were said and done that I didn't understand. It was so easy for judgment to creep up into my heart. It became very evident that I was dealing with a system that faced severe challenges: lack of resources, widespread poverty, infectious diseases, and poor sanitary conditions. Perhaps some of things I saw could have been handled differently, or perhaps everyone was just doing the best they could given the circumstances.
Studying in Ecuador was more than just learning clinical practice, it was about learning the culture and expectations of this population and the relationship they have with their doctors. It was about learning that our ways are not the only ways; they are just different ways, like how to care for people when you don't have the luxury of diagnostic testing and monitoring. It was sometimes about setting aside my opinions and being open to learning and understanding their ways. My time in Ecuador was an experience that I will recall for years and that will forever influence the way I practice health care.Last edit by Joe V on Jan 8, '15

I did it during grad school so applied a school loan towards it; however, there are lots of other international nursing opportunities available. I read on a thread somewhere that under the specialty tab on this website, select nursing specialities, you can scroll down and there is a section devoted to volunteer nursing opportunities. Perhaps you can find something more reasonable. There are also short term trips available with different programs that enable you to go for 1 -2 weeks which cuts the price down significantly.Feb 28, '09Quitogirl. I would love to discuss your experiences (and stories about) in Ecuador, i look forward to learning more about yor work in an 'other america." thanks!
~ WomankindMar 1, '09Latin America hasl always been a third-world environment when it comes to medical care, not medicine. It is the cultural attitude that allows the apparent lack of caring or lack of cleanliness. But also is the lack of rural health care, education and resources.
As an international educator in an area that in the US is considered the Elite....flight medicine, I have seen many changes in the last 15 years of traveling to Central and South America. Health care is improving mainly because people do have alternatives or perhaps, can afford to pay for hose basic needs like a stretcher with sheets, a bedside commode and curtains for privacy.
I am sure a few hospitals in he US are also struggling to provide those simple items. But I will share a recent experience observed during a trip to Argentina to certify flight physicians.
As I am being shown the beautiful sites of La Plata, the capital of the Province of Buenos Aires, we pass by he "General Hospital"; there is a line of people waiting outside, many sitting on he 10 steps leading up to he reception area. Food vendors all around and people holding bags with food and linen.......still waiting to be seen.
Here is a country with advanced medicine, with surgeons who staff the UCLA and Stanford medical centers, yet still can not manage their local needs.
If I were to be given the challenge to change something there, it would be to re-educate both care givers and patients...and show them how local free or sponsored clinics, would alleviate the problem of immediate health care.
Those agencies offering such exposure to Lain American health care, do so not to improve the care, but to profit from he many souls who believe in giving while learning.
I would love to hear comments and suggestions. You may visit our website as posted on our profile.
Last edit by califalcon on Mar 1, '09Mar 1, '09When I went to Ecuador, I actually met my husband there and have been living in this country now for 2 years. I have gotten involved in the health care system here. I find it is very diverse. You have clinics and hospitals that are public run and are struggling with resources and funding and then we have others that are top notch, follow EBM, and I feel comfortable getting my medical care there.
Unfortunately, the role of a nurse here is likened unto "maids work" and pays full time at about $400 a month!! The role of a nurse practitioner does not exist. I volunteer at one of the clinics with a doctor who understands what a NP is and does and allows to function in that role. I volunteer with a local foundation running a public health program for the poor, and do a variety of other work, currently exploring teaching at one of the univ here in their school of nursing where the dean, who is US trained, has a goal to raise the bar of nursing and care provided in this country. Change will only come slowly.
There is a severe shortage of nurses in this country as almost everyone interested in health care goes into medicine. They have hundreds of medical students, so many in fact, that many are unemployed! On the other hand, nurses are undertrained, come from low socioeconomic status, aren't paid well, have little voice, and are not allowed to function in so many of the ways that nurses function in the U.S.
Every medical and nursing student in Ecuador must complete a rural rotation. They are assigned by the ministry of health to a rural location anywhere in Ecuador to serve for one year. This is the only way they can staff their rural clinics as the bulk of doctors are located in the urban cities and very few in the rural areas. Unfortunately, that means the ones going out to the rural areas are green. If nurses could raise their standard here and be trained, they could help fill the gaps in the rural areas, but this requires a major shift in thinking!
It seems that somethings are coming together so that in the future we may see nurses have a better status in the country - I hope anyway!Mar 1, '09Indeed!!! I am quite aware of such nurse./doctor imbalance. I believe that changes occur when examples are set.......such as our aeromedical certification program. But we are in the midst of creating an academy in Florida that will fundamentally serve the EMS and prehospital care needs of our Latinamerican counterparts bu we can also take those programs abroad and offer the incentive of a US certificate which could open some doors to change.
I applaud your stamina and dedication to a profession that is so mistaken for maids or worse, Doctor's maids. New doctors should play nurse...and see what it really means.
Let me know how we can help. I do know some major players in Ecuador........perhaps it's time to make such attitude changeFeb 7, '10Hi there,
I enjoyed reading your post so much and was glad to know that there are opportunities in Quito for extranjeros
I am a nursing student moving to Quito in June after I take the boards. I would love to find nursing work there and am nervous about how to go about it, but reading your post was a little reassuring. Would you have any advice for me? My spanish is decent, and I think if I brush up on medical terminology that would be helpful. My clinical experience has been heavy in cardiology, but I have also done rotations on a neurology floor, pediatric medical surgical unit, labor and delivery, and a psychiatric rotation.
I am so excited about moving to Quito and would love to hear more about your experiences!Mar 26, '11I am interested in working in Ecuador for a year or two but I am just wondering about the licensing in the US what would happen to it.... also, I will be graduating as an NP next year... do NPs even exist in Ecuador and what can I even do as an NP in Ecuador

You detect something of a quest for perfection in Postalco's work. A sliver of imagination that sticks itself into something not quite good enough and prises it open, revealing new territories within.
Postalco's very first project began in just such an inquisitive way. Bag designer Mike Abelson found the bag of his partner, graphic designer Yuri Abelson, stuffed with awkwardly bent papers from her work. He set about making her a better carry case for her papers, which resulted in the Postalco legal envelope.
As time went on, the couple relocated from Brooklyn to Shibuya and got inventing. They thought up two different types of printers, and reinvented tool boxes, notepads, and rubbish bins. The Ablesons collaborated with leatherworkers and textile brands from around the world to bring their unique, tacticle visions to life.
Their solutions are often materially dependant: they reflect the precise history of the leather, brass, cotton and fabric which has passed through the designers' and factory workers' hands. Their decision to move to Tokyo was in part to be closer to producers like the master papermakers at Tokushima's Awagami Factory, who produce the delicate mulberry bark washi papers that are used for Postalco's Farmer's Felt wallets.
We're proud stockists of Postalco, and have been carrying them since we first opened our store in Amsterdam. If you're in the Netherlands, come and visit our shop to get a feel for these supremely tactile objects.

A film star who plays a transgender female inmate and is a transgender female in real life.
A 14-year-old girl who started out life as a boy.
A poet who describes himself as "a fat hairy brown femme-trans-masculine queer bodied magic pony."
This was the lineup for the annual Spirit Day Rally at the College of Charleston Thursday.
There were tears amid tales of pain and bullying, but mostly there was laughter, the release that comes from sharing stories among those who accept you for who you are.
The rally takes a stand against bullying of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and intersex youth. Laverne Cox, the transgender actress on "Orange Is the New Black," was the keynote speaker.
"Shame has been such a big part of my life," she told 400 or 500 people who filled most of the seats in Physicians Auditorium.
"Today I stand before you proud."
She grew up in Mobile, Ala., and didn't accept who she was until she moved to New York City.
"We know who we are," she said. "I knew that I was a girl, but everyone else was telling me I was a boy."
She said she still sometimes encounters hostility from men when walking down the street.
"Our lives are often in danger for simply being who we are," she said. "I so often feel our oppressors are in a lot of pain."
Cox warmly applauded the speakers who preceded her, and she broke into a big laugh when 22-year-old Devi Raheja was introduced.
Raheja, a Southerner of Indian ancestry, described himself as "a fat hairy brown femme-trans-masculine queer bodied magic pony," and he spoke wearing a big, glittery homemade headpiece.
"My body does make others uncomfortable," he told the crowd. "I am a woman, and I also am a man."
Sera Guerry, 14, was born as Seth but started asking, when she was 3 years old, "Mommy, when is God going to make me a girl," according to her mother, Amy Guerry of Moncks Corner.
Sera started dressing like a girl in the 5th grade, which is also when she started getting picked on.
"It's not easy at all," she said. "There's a lot of bullying, and it sucks."
But the biggest problem is trying to get the insurance company to pay for shots that prevent male adolescence, according to her mother.
Amy Garbati, director of Charleston Area Transgender Support, also spoke. She encouraged those struggling with identity to be themselves.
"That honesty will eventually disarm the bullies," she said.
