Dr. Lisa Chen has the following 4 specialties
- Optometry
- Internal Medicine
An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult population—both acute and chronic.
These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions. They also work to help a patient maintain optimal health in order to prevent the onset of disease.
In addition to treating the common cold and flu, internists also treat chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
- Critical Care Medicine
Also sometimes referred to as intensivists, critical care specialists are physicians with specialized training in the diagnosis and management of life-threatening conditions. Some of these conditions affect vital organs like the heart and lungs, those that make breathing difficult or impossible, and those that affect entire organ systems, like the renal system.
Critical care specialists are typically found in a hospital's intensive care unit where they monitor patients with life-threatening conditions and make determinations as to the best course of treatment.
- Pulmonary Disease
A pulmonologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the lungs and respiratory tract.
These specialists are similar to critical care specialists in that their patients often require mechanical ventilation to assist their breathing.
Pulmonologists diagnose and treat patients with conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, asbestosis, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, COPD, and emphysema. Exposure and inhalation of certain toxic substances may also warrant the services of a pulmonologist.
Some of the tools and tests pulmonologists use to diagnose a patient are a stethoscope in order to listen for abnormal breathing sounds, chest X-rays, CT scans, blood tests, bronchoscopy, and polysomnography.

Robinson Science Hall, dedicated in fall 2011, is a 63,000-square-foot building for biology and chemistry. The new building is part of a three-phase expansion of science facilities that also includes an addition to the Johnston Science Center, to be used for plant biology and physics, and renovation of the existing structure for math and computer science. The expansion helps serve Whitworth's 750 science majors.
Named in honor of Whitworth's immediate past president and his wife, the new Robinson Science Hall includes state-of-the-art biology and chemistry laboratories and instrumentation that enable the faculty-student research and hands-on learning for which Whitworth is known. The building also features a coffee shop, study area and plaza on the main level; faculty offices and classrooms are located on each level to facilitate faculty-student interaction.
Some of the new equipment housed in the science hall includes compound and stereo microscopes for student labs, demonstration scopes with projection capability, and two research microscopes that will be used in biology classes and research. The building also features a new nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, which is a superconducting magnet that acts as an MRI for chemicals. And a vivarium provides students the unique opportunity to study live animals, while the anatomy and physiology lab, with human cadavers, provides learning opportunities not commonly available to undergraduate students. Landscaping around the building was designed to include plants useful for teaching and to illustrate ways that environmentally appropriate landscaping for the Spokane area might be accomplished.

Statements on Auditing Procedure • Issued by the Committee on Auditing Procedure, American Institute of Accountants, 13 East 41st Street, New York 17, N. Y. Copyright 1943 by American Institute of Accountants Ho. 15 December 1942 Disclosure of the Effect of Wartime Uncertainties on Financial Statements IN ACCOUNTING Research Bulletin No. 13 the committee on ac-counting procedure referred to the limited significance of finan-cial statements prepared currently to cover comparatively short periods of time. The committee pointed out that "The tentative character of such statements is accentuated under war conditions because of the change in methods of doing business and because ac-counting measurements are largely dependent on the course and duration of the war. Current financial statements are, therefore, nec-essarily less indicative of such things as earning capacity, ability to pay taxes, and capital value than statements prepared under normal conditions."1 RENEGOTIATION OF WAR CONTRACTS In Accounting Research Bulletin No. 15, issued in September, 1942, the committee on accounting procedure considered the finan-cial statements of contractors or subcontractors who are affected by the provisions of the War Profits Control Act. The committee indi-cated therein that the basic objective of accounting is to present the fairest possible financial statements and at the same time to direct attention to uncertainties which limit the significance of such state-ments.2 It was concluded that the possibility of renegotiation of war contracts should be disclosed; that ordinarily a footnote to the finan-cial statements would accomplish the required disclosure; that in some cases a reserve, shown as a deduction in the income account, might be necessary. In arriving at these conclusions, it was recognized that the law required clarification and the committee indicated its intention to reconsider the subject later in the year. Since that time the statute has been amended3 and provision has 1Accounting Research Bulletin No. 13, p. 113. 2Accounting Research Bulletin No. 15, p. 127. 3Sec. 801, Revenue Act of 1942. 107

10 Essentials: Activity vs. Effectiveness
The first in series of ten posts in a series titled: 10 Essential B2B Sales Rep Attributes (and their 10 Essential Opposites)
There is an old saw about sales managers having a single button on their desk. The button is labeled: MORE! The reason they have a MORE button instead of a BETTER button is the admitted difficulty in actually improving sales rep performance. So, it is easier for a sales manager to improve the results of an ineffective salesperson by requiring more calls, hoping that the salesperson will bump into additional sales by simply by making additional sales calls. But this is not the whole picture.
Without activity, there is no succeeding in sales. You have to prospect each and every day with a devotion that might be mistaken for obsessive-compulsive disorder. You have to actively qualify the prospects in your sales funnel to ensure that the time you spend with prospects is valuable for both of you. You have to make sales calls with the prospects you have qualified. You have to design solutions, present solutions, and respond to questions and concerns.
What happens if you don't prospect? Nothing. What happens if you don't make sales calls? More nothing. This is why there is so much emphasis on activity; activity precedes sales.
The results of sales activity are rarely what they could (or should) be. Effectiveness is the opposing attribute. It is not enough to for a salesperson to generate activity. In fact, more often than not, more activity by itself isn't enough to make a real difference for the salesperson or for their company. What is needed is greater effectiveness.
Effectiveness is the result of a lot of factors, but it can be summed up as sales behaviors. Is what you are doing when you are with the prospect or customer working? Is what you are doing advancing the sale?
If you work in sales long enough, you will see countless salespeople with very high activity fail. They simply won't be effective enough. You will see even more salespeople who are very effective with the prospect fail because they are just too lazy to generate activity. Truth be told, you have to both generate activity and you be effective when you are with the prospect or customer.
The old rule: Activity precedes sales.
The new rule: Effective activity precedes sales.
- Are your sales results lower than your peer group's sales, even though you have much greater activity? If so, than greater effectiveness is needed.
- Is your close ratio much higher than your co-worker's, but your results are still lower? This indicates that your activity may need improving.
- Are your sales the same or higher than you peer group's results, even though you have dramatically lower activity? If so, you might be coasting and boosting your activity will make you a star.
- Do you have both lower sales and lower activity? If this is the case, many sales professionals will recommend the advice of our sales manager in the opening paragraph and suggest more activity first. There is some truth to this, as it builds experience. I'd recommend that you work on both at the same time, taking note of what works and what doesn't work, making distinctions, and ensuring that the increased activity is accompanied by improving effectiveness.

Informal Buffet Dinner Party
A sophisticated gathering without the fuss
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 13
Meet Rachel Hollis. At 28, she's already developed the skill to throw the kind of party everyone wants to attend. This L.A.-based event planner is a creative force to be reckoned with. It was her passion for parties that led her to launch her firm, Chic Events, in 2004. An entertainment industry alum, Rachel ditched big screens for party schemes, and now rolls out soirees for the likes of Disney and other big names in the business.
Recently, Rachel organized a gathering for a group of young professionals that was sophisticated in its details but without the fuss that often accompanies a formal sit-down dinner. Instead, she decided on an inventive buffet menu, offering a little of this and a little of that--a dream spread for foodies.
Unlike presentation at a formal dinner, where place settings and service are rigidly uniform, this meal gave Rachel the freedom to set her table with dishes and decorations, and arrange flatware and food in variousconfigurations for a striking look.
"Deciding what to serve early on is key to a successful buffet because then the dimensions can be figured," explains the party hostess. "There is nothing worse than a flat buffet table. Positioning plates, flatware, food, and table decorations at different heights creates interest and saves space."
At this gathering, food signs handcrafted by a local artist identify the elements of the antipasto feast, including abundant vegetables, cheeses, olives, meats, and breads. Offering guests dinner plates instead of canapé plates assured they could easily assemble and carry a full meal.
With no need to worry about blocking guests' views across a formal table, Rachel was able to give free rein to her creative floral artist for the buffet decoration. Fruit and flowers--oranges and kumquats, orchids and roses--are combined in an impressive and towering arrangement that explodes with vibrant colors and fills a tall vase in lush profusion.
A full bar seemed extravagant for the intimate party, so Rachel offered a made-to-order martini bar. Individual menus designed specifically for the event allowed guests to mark the makings they preferred for their drinks.
"A cocktail party is a great option before diving into dinner," says Rachel. "It triggers the imagination and is a great opportunity to get into the groove of hosting."

For a small party, there's no need to stock barware to suit every kind of libation request. Simply pick one style of drink, and minimize the accoutrements required. "Vintage" crystal martini glasses; Marquis by Waterford (wwrd.com). "Chancellor" iron-and-marble bar cart; Arteriors (arteriors.com). "Classic" crystal decanters; Tiffany & Co. (tiffany.com). Hand-painted "Small Tulip" porcelain bowls are available in assorted colors; Marie Daâge through Hoagland's of Greenwich (888/640-9577).
Plates and stands set at contrasting levels catch the eyes of the dinner guests. "Palazzo Gold" oval tray and "Vetro Gold" cake stands are by Arte Italica (arteitalica.com). "Octavia" goblet is from Juliska (juliska.com). Floral arrangement is by Lisa Cardella of Ixora Floral Studio (ixoraflorist.com). Food is by Heirloom Catering (heirloomla.com).
A hand-delivered invitation in a terra-cotta pot filled with fresh herbs and a printed dish towel makes a party irresistible. This one is from Orange Spot Pink Nose (orangespotpinknose.com).
These charming small signs direct guests to the food stations. Created by artist Anna Bondoc (annabondoc.com), they were made by layering cutouts of food shapes onto cards.
Gleam and sparkle make every setting special. Crystal-trimmed "Fade Gold" napkins are by Bodrum (bodrumlinens.com), and "Ivory" acrylic-handled flatware is from Mikasa (mikasa.com).
Individual chocolate mousse parfaits, created by Rachel, are topped with fresh whipped cream and served in tall shot glasses. Spoons are tied to each glass with a green ribbon.
Martini menus feature lists of ingredients so guests can customize libations. The cards were designed by Leanne Sutton of Orange Spot Pink Nose (orangespotpinknose.com). For non-alcoholic options, offer drinks like the ones below by The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley.
For a cocktail party, Rachel prefers individual desserts--like the minimousse parfaits, brownies, and chocolates she made for this event. To see more of Rachel's simple recipes and creative party ideas, visit her daily blog at thechicsite.com.

Floodwaters still washing away lives in Pakistan
The world has moved on from the disaster, but in villages and camps the horror is still unfolding
THE IRONY of being surrounded by water but not having enough to drink is not lost on Longkhan Solangi, the wiry septuagenarian patriarch of an extended family that includes 30 grandchildren. Sitting on a rope bed in the open air of what was once his thriving village, Longkhan gestures at the murky pools of stagnant floodwater around him, lined with green slime. Then he points to the horizon, his bony finger tracing what looks like a vast inland lake shimmering in the afternoon sun. "Look at all that water, more water than I have ever seen in my life, and yet we are looking for water every day to drink," he says bitterly.
Longkhan and the other returned residents of Reejhpur, a hamlet of 2,000 people located in Dadu, a district of Pakistan's southern Sindh province, at least have road access to their ruined homes. Dozens of other villages in the area are still cut off, accessible only by boat or helicopter. Dadu was one of the last places engulfed by the swollen Indus river as it coursed through Sindh before emptying into the Arabian Sea, and now it is one of the last to remain under water.
More than four months after the beginning of the floods that wrought havoc as they washed down along Pakistan's spine, from its mountainous north to the rich farmland of Punjab and on to Sindh, the waters have receded elsewhere, but here in Dadu's desolate plains they refuse to go away. The road to Reejhpur is surrounded on all sides by waterlogged fields broken only by an occasional knot of trees. In the village some houses built on higher ground are still standing – many of which bear the tell-tale damp line left behind by 10ft-high floodwaters – but most of the traditional mud-walled homes are now nothing more than piles of bricks.
A quarter of Reejhpur's inhabitants are still living in the camps they fled to when the waters first crept around the village. Those who have returned sleep under blue tents provided by aid agencies. All complain of being tormented by mosquitoes that swarm from the foul-smelling pools and creeks. Mothers talk of children constantly falling sick due to poor sanitation. Many villagers have worn the same clothes for months – they have nothing else but what they were wearing when they escaped the deluge.
The Solangi family is one of the worst affected in Reejhpur. All their livestock perished and their homes were washed away. With much of the land that once provided livelihoods from farming rice and wheat still submerged, the future looks extremely bleak.
More than half the family have decided to stay in nearby camps rather than be faced with daily reminders of all they have lost.
"What kind of life is this," says Longkhan, his weatherbeaten face creased with anger. "All my family saved in the floods was our lives. Everything else was destroyed." One of the family's biggest concerns is the health of Longkhan's daughter-in-law Shahbana, who is 10 months pregnant. "I feel very weak. It's difficult to stay healthy in these conditions," she says, swatting away flies. "But most of all, I am worried about delivering my baby. Will it survive? What kind of life can I give my baby here?"
The world's attention has moved on since August, when the UN calculated that the total affected by Pakistan's floods – up to 20 million people – amounted to a number greater than the Asian tsunami, the 2005 earthquake in Kashmir and this year's earthquake in Haiti combined. The World Bank has put the estimated cost of flood recovery at $9.7 billion (€7.3 billion). Foreign donors have so far contributed just under half of the $2 billion the UN asked for in September, the largest-ever appeal by it for a natural disaster.
In the last month, the UN and its partners have delivered food to six million people in the worst-hit regions. Emergency shelter materials have been distributed to 4.7 million people, and more than seven million have been provided with basic healthcare.
But, as UN humanitarian affairs chief Valerie Amos noted after touring Sindh by air last week, the emergency stage is far from over.
"The floods in Pakistan are slowly falling out of the headlines but people are still experiencing an acute emergency situation which requires international attention," she said.
"This is an emergency which will continue for months to come, and considerable relief efforts will continue to be necessary alongside recovery activities and development work. There is still a great deal to do." While aid agencies fret over the millions who remain highly vulnerable, particularly as winter sets in, the Pakistani government's response to the continuing crisis has been undermined by bickering between federal and provincial authorities. In Reejhpur and other parts of Sindh, there is much criticism of official efforts many consider half-hearted.
More than €45 million worth of donations to the prime minister's flood relief fund remains unspent. A government electronic cash card scheme, designed to give each of the worst-off families a sum equivalent to more than €800 to rebuild their homes and lives, has been dogged with problems.
"We have reports of people not knowing how to use the cash cards, machines not having any cash, not having any power. There have been issues of access . . . it's a significant issue," said Amil Khan of Oxfam.
Longkhan says that so far, he has spent money from the cash card on food.
"Mine is a big family and there are many mouths to feed. Right now that is my priority." The problem in Dadu and other parts of Sindh is nobody is sure how long it will take for the floodwaters to drain away or evaporate. Estimates range from two to five months.
There are some in Reejhpur who are close to giving up. They talk of moving to one of Sindh's cities in search of a new life. Longkhan is dismissive.
"What would we do there? Our families have farmed this land for generations.
"This is all we know. I was born here, and I will die here."

I get where you are going here but your premise of USC quarterbacks being rollout QBs is way off. The NYJ need to move the pocket around a bit because they can't protect the QB. If our QB can't make plays from the pocket with some protection then we need another one. I want Sanchez to stick around and what I see as his biggest fault is not so much accuracy as finding the open receiver. Too many times I have seen guys one on one or wide open and the ball gets delivered someplace else.
PS... Schotty Sucks!!

When we look at all of the custom drapery style that we make and sell everyday here at DrapeStyle we make some observations. One truth that we see year-after-year in our business, as interior design trends change, is that there are a few styles that endure. Think of them as the short black cocktail dress of fashion. In Drapery, one of the classic styles that is a cornerstone of interior design is the classic white silk drapes that we make month after month. It just seems that in any length, width or pleat style, the simple white silk drapes seem to compliment any interior. We make them for Homeowners, Designers and even hotels and restaurants. You just can't go wrong with classic elegance and versatility. White is always a "Designers best friend". It may often seem to be the "safe choice" but often times it is the best choice. It has certainly proven itself to be an enduring classic for many, many years.
Oh, you may also want to try them paired with Sheers, Roman Shades, Roller Shades or even Shutters!

Nick Lachey Gossip
Nick Lachey gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The Day of (a Mother's) Love
It was quite a tame Valentine's Day, celebrity-wise. Jessica took Jackpot Johnson out for a spin, Goop showed us the joy of cooking for one and apparently Brad gifted Angie with breath mints. So when in doubt, turn to the mothers. Vanessa Minnillo shared a page from her private family diary with PEOPLE. Full Story
Porny drunk and petty?
It's my favourite story this week. Remember when Jessica Simpson went out for dinner with her boyfriend at the same restaurant as her ex husband Nick Lachey and 'Nessa Minnillo? Click here for a refresher. According to Us Weekly, my Porny drank away her insecurities, and then let her bitch out, sniping to a server that, "I hope Vanessa likes her clothes because I bought them for her, since Nick took all my money. Full Story
The people around Porny...and her ex-husband
Jessica Simpson and her attachment Eric Johnson went out for dinner last night to Red-O in Hollywood. Also there, purely by coincidence, was ex-husband Nick Lachey with his long-time squeeze Vanessa Minnillo. No, no, no, I'm sure it wasn't awkward. But Eric was awfully extra about his affection towards Porny while they were leaving, leaning in from behind with the cameras in their faces, recognising a moment where he'd be extra needed. Full Story
Give up Grey Goose…
For this? The caption on these photos reads: Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo promote their vodka in Hollywood, CA And it's not like I don't understand the value of celebrity endorsements. I get it. Of course. But what in the f-ck of the what in the what is the purpose of vodka by Nick & Vanessa? Are they marketing this for Jersey Shore? Sh-t bitches, pour that Grey Goose down the drain. Full Story
NYE CarbFace and Bad Hair
In Miami at LIV at the Fountainebleau – Nick and Nessa in matching shiny sheen delight. But not really. Vanessa Minnillo is such a beautiful girl in real life. But her persistent pageant styles are for sh-t. And not sure what she's doing with that hair. Nick Lachey, after outselling his ex wife Jessica Simpson in their post-divorce album duel, has pretty much gone nowhere. Full Story
Carb Face and Pageant Girl: back to work
Been ages since Nick Lachey and his paqeant girl Vanessa Minnillo have been seen on the scene. But you know how these things work, right? Nick is the host of ABC's High School Musical Get in the Picture. The show premieres on Sunday... amazingly enough, Nick and Nessa turned up at Katsuya for dinner last night, greeted by the paparazzi. Full Story
Understatement of the Year
Chace Crawford's sister Candice spoke to People.com about her brother's break up with Carrie Underwood, explaining that "he was upset" over the split but that he's now "doing okay". Full Story
Nick Lachey and gorgeous pageant queen Vanessa Minnillo were out for dinner last night at Katsu-ya looking like they just stepped out of 2002. Boot cut over pointy toe for her and borderline boyband/guido tee for him… not unlike what my mom sent over Full Story
A New View of Nessa
Some people are way better looking in person than in photos. Petra Nemcova is a good example. Not that she doesn't look good in photos, only in person, she's more than just a freakishly beautiful, garden variety supermodel. Vanessa Minnillo is also of this category. And you know already my thoughts on her pageant fashion pageant fashion Full Story
Carb Face in Person
Nick Lachey is very, very nice. Very well mannered, very professional, seemingly intelligent, and surprisingly well spoken. I think it would be hard not to like him. Quivering for him, however, is another matter entirely. But there were many people quivering for him last night at Matt Leinart's party, our second party of the evening, also in support of a charitable cause. Full Story
They Hate Jess, They Love Nick
It's been two years since their split but still Nick Lachey is coming out on top. His album has outsold hers, he has a steady girlfriend who dresses like a tacky pageant queen with a slamming body doesn't pee on him and loves to do it in public and hasn't walked out on him, and somehow he's managed to rally support from the MiniVan Majority, who just voted for his choir, making him the first celebrity winner of Clash of the Choirs, a viewer vote-based contest, with $250,000 going to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Centre.

Five men have spent three days in a tree in Indonesia to escape from a group of tigers that had killed and eaten a sixth member of the group, press reports say.
The group, residents of Simpang Kiri in Aceh province, on the northern part of the island of Sumatra, entered the densely forested Gunung Leuser National Park last Thursday, where they were attacked by a group of tigers after they accidentally killed a tiger cub with a trap meant for deer.
A group of about 30 people at the weekend went to rescue the five men after they used their mobile phones to inform others of their predicament.
The rescuers managed to chase the four tigers away, local police chief Dicky Sondani told The Jakarta Globe.
The men who took refuge in the tree entered the park to collect aromatic wood, which is used in the preparation of perfumes, aromatic oils and incense and grows in the park jungle, which is inhabited by protected and threatened species such as tigers, elephants and orangutans.
"It's worse this time because there are tigers waiting for the villagers," Dicky said.
"People keep entering the jungle to look for alim wood because it's very expensive; up to 5 million rupiah (N81,215) per kilogram. But, well, that's the risk; there are many tigers and elephants in Gunung Leuser's jungle."
Tiger attacks on Sumatra have risen due to the sharp increase in the number of palm oil and pulp plantations that reduce the natural habitat of the felines and push them into zones inhabited by people.
It is estimated that more than 100 Sumatran tigers live in the Gunung Leuser park.

New York, N.Y. (PRWEB) January 12, 2013
On January 12, Voices Against Brain Cancer (VABC) responds to retired Catholic Bishop John D'Arcy's brain and lung cancer diagnosis.
D'Arcy was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer on December 29, according to a recent article from the San Francisco Chronicle, after not feeling well during Christmas with his family. The 80-year-old former Catholic Bishop lives in Fort Wayne, IN however he will begin outpatient treatments in Massachusetts.
In the article, D'Arcy was quoted saying "they kept me overnight — my first night in a hospital since I was born in that same hospital 80 years ago; so, I am ahead of the game thanks to the good Lord."
Scott Darrohn, a spokesperson for VABC, responds to the news of D'Arcy's diagnosis, offering support. "We know that brain cancer affects the lives of more than just the people diagnosed; it impacts family and friends as well and John D'Arcy has touched so many lives in his time with the church," Darrohn said. "We hope he stays strong and fights to make a full recovery."
Darrohn added that while D'Arcy's diagnosis is tragic news, he hopes that D'Arcy's status in the community will help raise cancer awareness and fund research towards a cure for the disease that has claimed so many lives.
VABC has a wide variety of initiatives in place for brain cancer research, awareness and support. The organization's research grants fund cutting-edge research programs that will have a monumental impact on the diagnosis and treatment of brain cancer. VABC currently funds research at several esteemed institutions such as Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Harvard, John Hopkins, Memorial Sloan-Kettering and Yale, to name a few.
VABC's mission is to find a cure for brain cancer by advancing scientific research, increasing awareness within the medical community and supporting patients, their families and caregivers afflicted with this devastating disease.

The geriatric gang is getting back together — and getting some new (i.e. young) blood. Summit Entertainment announced today that Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, and Mary-Louise Parker have all signed on for RED 2, a sequel to the studio's modest 2010 hit. (It grossed $199 million worldwide according to Box Office Mojo.)
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung-Hun Lee (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) have joined the cast, and Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) will take over directing reins from the first film's director, Robert Schwentke. (SPOILER ALERT: RED co-star Morgan Freeman isn't returning due to the vexing fact that his character died in the first film.) Screenwriters Erich and Jon Hoeber are officially returning for the second installment; they began penning the script last year.
As is often the case with franchise sequels, RED 2 will take place largely in Europe. It's set for release on Aug. 2, 2013.

Letter to the Editor: Please have a Canyon Springs meeting in Glenshire
I have issues with the Town of Truckee Council regarding the Canyon Springs proposed project.
Attempts were made in requesting a public informational meeting with the Town Council to be held at the Glenshire Elementary School. The Town denied a meeting here.
Granted, there was a DEIR meeting at Town Council building on January 29, but would it not be more prudent to have it at the school, in the hopes of an expected larger attendance?
People therefore, would not have to drive, into town.
The public who voted for the Town Council members should demand better representation through convenient meeting sites. Especially of a project of this magnitude.
For those who are unaware of this project, call the town, Save Open Space Glenshire and Mountain Area Preservation Foundation.

Another day, another Teresa Giudice In Touch Weekly magazine cover!
This time around, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star poses for the mag with one of her daughters, and grants them an exclusive interview to discuss her finances today and most importantly her fear of going broke… again.
As you may recall, Teresa and her hubby Joe Giudice filed bankruptcy 2 years ago to the tune of $11 million in debt. Teresa once again claims she was kept in the dark about her finances which were being handled by Joe. "Most couples would have gotten a divorce," Teresa tells In Touch. "In most cases, people would have fallen apart," agrees Joe. "But we are strong."
Teresa, who can be seen on recent episodes of the RNONJ driving a Benz and wearing Christian Louboutin boots, goes on to reveal she and Joe have learned their lesson citing they have cut back on their extravagant lifestyle. "I don't try to keep up with the Joneses anymore," shares Teresa who has also been shown on the Bravo hit show having hairstylists come into her home to do her hair. "Sometimes, I do my own hair and makeup. I spend within my means," she adds.
As for their finances today, the Giudices, who are "terrified of being poor," assure us they are now very careful in how they spend their money. Joe's new motto? "It isn't how much money you make, it's how much you save."
Teresa adds that she has "no credit card debt" today. "I live a simple life," Joe shares. "I shop at outlets and buy things cheap." Joe also denies he is sponging off Teresa as a report that came out weeks ago stated he had sold his pizza place and was no longer working. "I am not living off Teresa," he fumes. "I got money. What we are doing now is working together."
You can read more of Teresa and Joe's interview in the current issue of In Touch.
In other NJ news, Melissa Gorga recently revealed that her debut music single, titled "On Display," will be released on iTunes next month. Melissa also released her single cover on her website melissagorga.net. That single cover is below!

Meanwhile, Teresa and Kathy throw separate Christmas bashes; and Teresa isn't very merry in the wake of a decision. A preview clip is below!

Just Say "No" to Competition
The Democrats who still control the Virginia State Senate (which wasn't on the ballot this week) say they want to work with the new Republican governor.
"I won't be like the House Republicans were, where anything they propose is bad," said Senate Majority Leader Richard L. Saslaw (D‑Fairfax), who like many Democrats says the GOP‐led House obstructed the agenda of Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D). "If there are areas where we can work things out, I'm ready, willing and able, and so is my caucus."
But not so fast:
But asked about certain key pieces of McDonnell's agenda, Saslaw demurred. Selling state‐run liquor stores to raise money for transportation, for instance, would sacrifice the annual revenue the stores provide to schools and other purposes, Saslaw said. The Senate's education committee remains opposed to changing state laws to allow more charter schools, another McDonnell proposal, he said.
No to bipartisan cooperation, no to competition, yes to hoary monopolies. Is that really the rock on which the Democrats want to make their stand as the country's "implicit libertarian synthesis" yields a "libertarian moment"?

Updated : August 22 2017
Actor discusses role as North Korean psychopath, teenage fans
Actor Lee Jong-suk has very pale skin. It's so milky white that for his television drama roles, his makeup artist uses a darker foundation to give him more color, Lee says.
But in the new thriller "V.I.P," which opens in local theaters Wednesday, director Park Hoon-jung decided that Lee's pearly complexion would suit his role as the chilling North Korean serial killer Kim Kwang-il.
"I was filming a Chinese drama when I came across the script for 'V.I.P.' I wanted the role so badly that I sought out director Park and told him I really wanted it," Lee said in an interview in Palpan-dong, Seoul, Monday.
With delicate features and a tall, slender frame, Lee has starred in numerous K-dramas as the romantic male lead. The 27-year-old is known for shows like "I Can Hear Your Voice," where he played a mind-reader suffering from a traumatizing past, and "Pinocchio," which saw him as a repo rter fighting for justice. Last year, Lee won best actor at the MBC drama awards for his performance in "W."
Though Lee does not object to his boyish image, he had always yearned for more charismatic roles, he said. "The kind of gravitas that people like Jang Dong-gun have when they're in front of a camera, scowling and smoking a cigarette – I don't have that," he said, referring to his costar in "V.I.P."
Lee is 80 percent satisfied with his acting turn, he says. "That kind of powerful expression was fun. It felt like I had done some proper acting."
In "V.I.P." he's a haughty member of the North Korean "nobility" who views all people as beneath him and sneers at his captors. He enjoys classical music and classic novels. Killing is nothing more than a hobby for the character, who shrieks with mirth after murder.
Lee had sought to portray a d ifferent kind of psychopath. "You see a lot of killers in movies who feel euphoria after killing. Director Park said it would be really new, and would suit me better, if I would rejoice like a little boy who's gotten what he wants."
But the actor was not without worry over his radical transformation.
"I've received a lot of love for my kinder characters. And I was worried that I wouldn't be convincing as a villain."
He was also concerned about his fans, mostly young Asian teens.
"I get so many messages on social media, but I came across one from this one fan who seemed young. She asked if she should see the movie. I rarely reply, but I wrote back, 'Thanks for the support, but I think it would be better if you waited until you were older.' I wouldn't want to traumatize her."
Lee has been taking on back-to-back projects for the past few years, but he's n ot ready to stop just yet.
"I plan to consume my image and my acting as much as I can. After I've shown so much of myself, I might be driven to find new aspects of myself. Or I might slowly stop getting offers. People might stop being curious about me. Then, I might just disappear (from the acting scene). I think that would be okay," said Lee who described himself as melancholic and introverted.
Next month, Lee is set to star in the SBS drama "While You Were Sleeping" alongside Suzy.

On August 21, Lee Jong Suk engaged in an interview at a cafe in Seoul and shared about the time he replied to a fan's direct message on social media.
He explained, "Recently, I got a message asking, 'Oppa, I'm underage but I really want to watch your movie. Can I?' I don't reply to my messages and usually don't check it often but I was surprised so I replied right away when I saw that message."
The reply from Lee Jong Suk stated, "Thank you for your support but please watch it when you become an adult." The actor continued to explain, "A lot of my fans are young so I was worried they might get shocked so I replied immedi ately after I got the message."
In Lee Jong Suk's new Rated R crime thriller film 'VIP', he turned into a brutal criminal from North Korea. The new movie is hitting the theaters on August 24.

Ahhh, Bob- Bob who I'm pretty sure is not into women but I'd chase after anyway. This is the juncture in the conference where I wanted to ask Bob to take off his shirt and make his boobies dance, but alas, I was all tongue tied and just managed to make a little guttural noise that resembled a giggle and then ran away as soon as the picture was snapped. I may have muttered "thanks" or something like that but then I berated myself for a good hour about how I ate a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast and how Bob probably wouldn't approve. And the dorky cardigan? Damn it. I should have worn something slinkier and more ho bag-ish like stilettos and a shredded shirt with my bra sticking out. Unfortunately for me (and Bob) I left my shredded bra at home. Had I only known...
Then I met Giuliana Rancic from the E! Network. It's no secret that I am a Kardashian junky and since they are on the same network together, I can, with no qualms now say that through one degree of separation that Kim Kardashian and I are now BFF's. I told Guiliana how brave I think that she is for sharing her infertility journey with the world and she was very gracious and sweet and posed for a picture with me. However, there was one small problem. Guiliana is no less that 7 feet tall. She weighs probably 80 pounds soaking wet. In fact, I'm surprised that she can even stand upright because I'm not sure how her little legs hold her up. So- add that, coupled with the fact that I am short and a little pudgy and was sweating profusely and the picture was pure crap. Do you remember those talking trash heaps that were on that old show, Fraggle Rock? I looked like one of those trash heaps. A trash heap with a near nip slip since somehow my dress had gotten all twisted in my effort to shed all my bags to snap the shot. So I am burying that picture because it wrecked my self esteem. Instead, I'll show you my rendering:
Kristen Howerton from Rage Against The Minivan. She's an adoptive momma and we'd met several times before but never gotten to really talk. We stood in line together to get into a party so we got to gab about all kind of things. Kristin collects a little entourage wherever she goes because she's kinda famous. So I'm not sure who the girl on the left of this picture is except to say that she was a fan of Kristen's. Seriously- walking around with Kristen is like walking around with Bono. She's like the rock star advocate of the blogging world.
Christy. We connected on Twitter before the conference and she invited me to dinner with a big group of girls. Those women were all amazing and we had so much fun sharing meals together all weekend. It made the conference just a bit smaller and more intimate for me. Meeting great people and staying connected is way more fun for me than going to private parties and schmoozing with big corporations. Although, I ain't gonna lie- the swag from this conference is ridiculous and it's fun to come home with all of it and feel just a tiny bit more important that you really are.

Old crop corn and soybean contracts finished higher on heavy bullspreading. July corn closed 5 ¾ cents higher at $6.20 ¼, July soybeans 4 ¾ cents higher at $14.78 ¼, and July wheat down 6 cents at $6.09 ½.
Before the day session even began we had some unfavorable economic data that sent the outside markets into a downward spiral. Crude oil traded as much as $5 lower on the day and the Dow Jones futures over 180 points lower. This helped prompt a selloff in the grains. May corn stayed supported during this break and ended up leading the other contracts off their lows. At one point May corn was trading 49 cents over July! The CIF corn basis jumped sharply today and was a major part of this corn rally. July corn got to an even $1 premium to December during the trading session and July – Nov soybeans traded back to $1.13 ½ premium. Even with the strength in the old crop today, it didn't stop December corn from making new lows for the year at $5.15. The favorable weather has kept sell pressure on the new crop corn even as export sales pick up. This morning the USDA announced another 240,000 MTs of new crop corn to Mexico and 116,000 to South Korea. They also announced 120,000 MTs of new crop soybeans to "unknown".
Informa increased their total acreage estimates for corn and soybeans combined. They estimated soybean acreage at 75.8 million and corn at 96.12 million. These numbers would typically be viewed as "bearish" but the market didn't seem to be too affected by them. The trade seems set on keeping old crop contracts supported to new crop contracts. Looking at the "fund" activity on the weekly COT report we can see the "managed money" reducing their net long corn position (again) and increasing their net long soybean position (again). Wheat continues to get sell pressure on expectations of strong production in the US but the "managed money" did reduce their net short positions.
Lastly I just wanted re-mention the changes that the CME will be making to the grain trading hours. They will be expanding the CBOT electronic trading hours to 5pm-4pm (Sunday to Monday) and 6pm-4pm (Monday to Friday). This will take effect May 21st, 2012.
We will continue to watch export sales for direction as well as any changes to the forecast. For now we like staying with the current EHedger recommendations. To receive a free trial of the EHedger research including hedge recommendations, please sign up using the link below. Have a great weekend!!

Randy Moore reviewed Not in Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design is Wrong for Our Schools for BioScience (November 2007; 57 [10]: 885-886), writing (PDF), "Not in Our Classrooms is a small, impressive book that will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the various aspects of 'intelligent design' and the evolution-creationism debate." He was especially enthusiastic about Scott's contribution ("one of the best summaries available for the history of the modern controversy") and Jay Wexler's contribution on the legal issues surrounding the evolution/creationism ("should be required reading for all teachers, school administrators, and school-board members"). Moore concluded, "Not in Our Classrooms is a powerful, accessible introduction to the many facets of intelligent design. ... If you read just one book about this subject, read this one. Then give the book to others and urge them to do the same." Moore is a professor of biology at the University of Minnesota.
Not in Our Classrooms was edited by NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott and deputy director Glenn Branch, and contains essays by them as well as by Nicholas J. Matzke (also of NCSE) and Paul R. Gross, Martinez Hewlett and Ted Peters, Jay D. Wexler, and Brian Alters (a member of NCSE's board of directors). The foreword was contributed by the Reverend Barry W. Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Praising the book, Bill Nye the Science Guy wrote, "If you're concerned about scientific literacy, read this book. The authors of Not in Our Classrooms are authorities on the various battles fought over the teaching of evolution -- biology's fundamental discovery."

Sailing's done ok: a slight cut, from £9.6m over the period 2009 - 2013 down to £9.3m (about $15m), a similar trimming exercise to that done on rowing, though canoeing is slightly up.
Of the £9.3m the majority, £5.8m, is to go towards "participation" i.e. getting the new generation out on the water via schemes such as the RYA's OnBoard programmes. The remainder is to go towards "finding the next Ben Ainslie" including:
- Developing the existing network of Volvo RYA Champion Clubs which identify and nurture young talented sailors in their early years in the sport
- Enhancing partnerships with Junior Class Associations to provide junior racing and training programmes and optimal race training environments
- The creation of six to ten regional high performance clubs
- Training squads and support at regional and England national junior level
- Exposing young talented sailors to appropriate international regatta experiences
- Support to develop the coaches working with young talented sailors
More detail here which was also the source of the pic above.
Hopefully all this will help boost participation in sailing and also success at Rio.
Updated: the £9.3m above was the funding in England to get the next generation out on the water sailing. Today in this announcement the UK's budget for the next Olympics was revealed and sailing's getting a £24.5m ($39.2m) war-chest for the Rio campaign. That's up 6.8% and makes sailing the 4th best funded sport, after rowing, cycling and the whole of athletics.
Go Team GB etc

Hi there! As promised, I am showing you my Frankenstein Mini Milk Carton. Here he is! The concept is pretty much the same, as in the cards I have created years back. (See cards here.) The cards are a bit bigger than the milk carton so I scaled down the size of the eyes and used SU's 1/2" circle punch.
You will need:
2 punched circles of Whisper White cardstock
1 punched circle of Basic Black, cut in half
2 punched circles of Old Olive, cut in half, you need only 3 half-circles.
Layer as shown on picture. I used dimensional tape for the eyelids and nose, to give them a 3-D effect.
The mouth is punched out using the scallop circle punch. My ever-helfpul 9-year old daughter reminded me to put a scar above one eye, so I used my Basic Black marker for that. Meet Frankie....
Stamp: (none)
Ink: (none)
Paper: Cardstock in Old Olive, Basic Black, and Whisper White
Accessories: Big Shot, mini milk carton die, scallop circle punch, 1/2" circle punch, tape, basic black marker, ribbon and mini clip (nonSU).
Thanks so much for looking!

The prayer barrier. Is it obligatory to have a sutra when you are in a place where people might pass by? If you don't have one, does it really invalidate prayer or is it more of a recommended thing? If it does invalidate, would a child walking in front of you invalidate prayer?

As regular readers might have noticed, I'm not really back to my regular blogging patterns. I had taken a sort of break for Ramadan but now that it's over, I don't exactly know what to say.
So much has happened over the course of the last month. Like... A LOT. And it's not really stuff that I want to get into on my blog since it's all very personal, but it has taken a lot out of me and I guess it has affected me being able to write the normally "light" posts like I do.
I really want to continue blogging so I will be back as soon as I find inspiration! If you can spare a dua for me, please pray that I am lead towards the right answers for decisions I will have to make.
Thank you. :)

It's Time to Participate and Win!
While the lazy days of summer are still here, it could be well worth your while to get creative and fill out an entry form for an international arts competition. We've selected five competitions that accept artists from a wide variety of disciplines. And remember the old adage – just by correctly following contest rules and the set technical parameters, you're already half-way to victory. Good luck!
The Polock-Krasner Foundation
No deadline
Representatives from the visual arts who have good professional qualifications and considerable exhibiting experience, but lack the funds for fulfilling their creative ambitions, are invited to apply for the one-time grant given out by the Polock-Krasner Foundation. The Foundation was established in 1985 under the auspices of the exceptional abstract expressionist Lee Krasner (widow of Jackson Pollock). Applicants do not necessarily have to be destitute to apply for the monetary award – selection is based on the artist's professional objectives and ambitions. Every candidate's situation is considered individually, as are the grant amounts. Those who have not been selected may apply repeatedly, but must wait 12 months after the review of any previous applications. For incentive, we'll mention that for the 2010/2011 year, 95 grants were awarded, totaling to 1,545,000 US dollars.
David Ogle. A finalist for the 2011 Aesthetica Art Prize
The Aesthetica Art Prize
Deadline – August 31, 2012
Every year, the international cultural and art publication Aesthetica Magazine announces the acceptance of applications for the Aesthetica Art Prize. The only condition – submitted art works must be ready by spring 2013 for exhibition in the winners' show, to be held in York, Great Britain. There are no restrictions in terms of artist's age, nationality or other criteria. Prizes are divided into two main categories: the Main Prize and the Student Prize. Each of these is divided into four subcategories: Photographic & Digital Art; Three Dimensional Design & Sculpture; Painting & Drawing; and Video, Installation & Performance. Prize winners will have the opportunity to be published in the catalog, and their works will be covered in Aesthetica Magazine's international publications. The Main Prize stands out with winners being awarded a studio for six months, or a cash equivalent of 750 British pounds, to be allocated towards the securing of studio space. There is also a cash award – 1000 pounds for the Main Prize, and 500 pounds for the Student Prize. The "entrance fee" for participating is just 15 pounds, and two submitted work projects that comply with one of the categories. One person can apply in several categories. Winners will be announced in December 2012.
PrintArt Award 2012
Works must be submitted by September 14, 2012
Professionals in the fields of design, graphic arts or visual communications are invited to take part in the competition PrintArt Award 2012. In its tenth consecutive year now, the event boosts print design into the local and international spotlights by way of its international panel of judges. There are many categories, some of which are: Corporate Style and Communication; Advertising Campaign Materials and Indoor & Outdoor Advertising Execution; Corporate Transportation Design and Advertising Execution; Publishing; and Packaging. And each of these categories have subcategories. All participants also have the opportunity to win in the special categories of GrantPrint, GrantArt and Perfect Choice. There is no application fee. Interested parties need just fill out an application form and register for free shipping of their works; these must have been conceived, created and published between October of 2011 (or a bit earlier, but under the condition that the work has not been previously submitted to the competition) and September 14 of this year.
Last year's Environmental Photographer of the Year was Chan Kwok Hung from Hong Kong, with his photograph of two children who live with their grandmother in Nepal's capital city of Kathmandu, and who must scavenge the local rubbish dump for daily survival.
Environmental Photographer of the Year
Deadline – December 31, 2012
In an effort to bring awareness to environmental issues, the London-based Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) supports this annual international competition for landscape photographers and video artists. Applicants do not have to be professionals, but their work must be creative, challenging, original and, most importantly, it must inspire people all over the world. The total prize fund of £7000 is divided as follows: Environmental Photographer of the Year – £5000,
Young Environmental Photographer of the Year (Under 18) – £1000, and Environmental Video of the Year – £1000. The competition will close with an exhibition of the finalists' works in the late spring of 2013 in London, which is when the winners will be announced. There is no fee to enter, but be sure that your entry corresponds to not only all of the quality criteria, but that it also meets all of the technical requirements as well. For more information, check out the competition's homepage.
One of the winners of Arte Laguna Prize 2011 (Sculpture category) – Simon Bubiko and his work OMBRA DA CAMERA VI
Arte Laguna Prize
Deadline – November 8, 2012
Deadline for the special prize "Artist in Residence" – October 23, 2012
For the seventh year in a row now, the Arte Laguna Prize competition is again taking place, with the objective of promoting the development of contemporary art. Total prizes amount to 170,000 EUR. Along with monetary prizes, there are also opportunities to win a stay in an artists' residence (Basel: iaab; Chicago; Mumbai: Technymon ARTresidency; Venice: Glass School Abate Zanetti; Ptuj: Art Stays), to be shown in internationally renown galleries, and to have your work published in the competition's catalog. The monetary prizes are divided among categories – Painting, Sculpture, Photography Art, Videoart and Animation & Performance, and Virtual Art iFOPE, with 7000 EUR (pre-tax) allocated to each. To apply for the competition, the artist does not have to be a professional, but he or she must take into account the creative and financial investments required. Applicants must pay 50 EUR for one work, or 90 EUR for two works submitted in the same category; applicants under 25 must pay a fee of 45 EUR for one piece, or 80 EUR for two submitted pieces. One must also include in their expense calculations insurance and transportation costs for the works being submitted.
110 jury-selected works will be shown in the Collective Exhibition, to be held at the prestigious Venice Arsenale, in spring of 2013 – shortly before the venue will be taken over by the Venice Art Biennial.

UnderCover Presents - Joni Mitchell's Blue
January 21 8:00 pm
We are sold out of advance tickets for this show. There may be some limited standing room only tickets available once the show starts at 8:00 pm for $24.50.
An afro-pop rendition of "A Case of You". A South Indian Jazz interpretation of "My Old Man." UnderCover Presents celebrates Joni Mitchell's classic album Blue with a masterful mashup of Bay Area musical talent who each cover a different song from the album, infusing it with their distinctive sound and personality.
Now covering their fourth album, the UnderCover concept has proven immensely popular among both musicians and the listening public. Says Undercover's co-creator Lyz Luke, "So many musicians who play different genres have so much respect for each other and never get to play on the same bill. Dina Maccabee (Real Vocal String Quartet, Ramon and Jessica, KillBossa) the show's guest musical director says, "When you've got say a Balkan clarinetist collaborating with an Afrobeat player, there's a good chance you're going to find something you really like."
The show's rousing roster features the Bay Area's only Brazilian tropicalia band, KillBossa, South Indian classical jazz duo Bharathi Palivela & Daniel Fabricant, the banjo-picking and siren song talents of Kelly McFarling, clarinetist Beth Custer's jazz/funk ensemble, the other worldly singing of the Balkan/Romani group Kitka, and that is just Side A! Side B features the electronic music diva Amy X Neuburg, Adam Theis & JazzMafia's hip hop/jazz collective, Suzy Thompson, the Freight's favorite blues-belting fiddler, afro-pop band The Seshen, and chanteuse plus chamber orchestra Katy Stephan+Classical Revolution. Admission includes a free album download of the recorded concert. We'll be distributing the download code at the show along with a keepsake program at showtime. Excited yet? We are.

Excerpted from the book Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: the wisdom and science of gentle choices in pregnancy, birth and parenting (One Moon Press, 2005)
For more information about the amazing placenta and placenta rituals, , see Sarah's new book Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: A Doctor's Guide to Natural Childbirth and Gentle Early Parenting Choices (Celestial Arts, 2009) available worldwide.and at www.sarahjbuckley.com
Lotus birth is the practice of leaving the umbilical cord uncut, so that the baby remains attached to his/her placenta until the cord naturally separates at the umbilicus- exactly as a cut cord does- at 3 to 10 days after birth. This prolonged contact can be seen as a time of transition, allowing the baby to slowly and gently let go of his/her attachment to the mother's body.
Although we have no written records of cultures which leave the cord uncut, many traditional peoples hold the placenta in high esteem. For example, Maori people from New Zealand bury the placenta ritually on the ancestral marae, and the Hmong, a hill tribe from South East Asia, believe that the placenta must be retrieved after death to ensure physical integrity in the next life: a Hmong baby's placenta is buried inside the house of its birth.
Lotus Birth is a new ritual for us, having only been described in chimpanzees before 1974, when Clair Lotus Day- pregnant and living in California- began to question the routine cutting of the cord. Her searching led her to an obstetrician who was sympathetic to her wishes, and her son Trimurti was born in hospital and taken home with his cord uncut. Lotus Birth was named by, and seeded through Clair to Jeannine Parvati Baker in the US and Shivam Rachana in Australia, who have both been strong advocates for this gentle practice.
Since 1974, many babies have been born this way, including babies born at home and in hospital, on land and in water, and even by caesarean section. Lotus birth is a beautiful and logical extension of natural childbirth, and invites us to reclaim the so-called third stage of birth, and to honour the placenta, our baby's first source of nourishment.
I am a New Zealand GP (family MD in America), and have 4 children born at home in my adopted country, Australia. I have experienced Lotus birth with my second and subsequent children, after being drawn to it during my second pregnancy through contact with Shivam Rachana at the Centre for Human Transformation in Yarra Glen, near Melbourne. Lotus birth made sense to me at the time, as I remembered my time training in GP obstetrics, and the strange and uncomfortable feeling of cutting through the gristly, fleshy cord that connects baby to placenta and mother. The feeling for me was like cutting through a boneless toe, and it felt good to avoid this cutting with my coming baby.
Through the CHT I spoke with women who had chosen this for their babies, and experienced a beautiful post-natal time. Some women also described their Lotus-Birth child's self-possession and completeness. Others described it as a challenge, practically and emotionally. Nicholas, my partner, was concerned that it might interfere with the magic of those early days, but agreed to go along with my wishes.
Zoe, our second child, was born at home on the 10th of September 1993. Her placenta was, unusually, an oval shape, which was perfect for the red velvet placenta bag that I had sewn. Soon after the birth, we wrapped her placenta in a cloth nappy, then in the placenta bag, and bundled it up with her in a shawl that enveloped both of them. Every 24 hours, we attended to the placenta by patting it dry, coating it liberally with salt, and dropping a little lavender oil onto it. Emma, who was 2, was keen to be involved in the care of her sister's placenta.
As the days passed, Zoe's cord dried from the umbilical end, and became thin and brittle. It developed a convenient 90 degree kink where it threaded through her clothes, and so did not rub or irritate her. The placenta, too, dried and shrivelled due to our salt treatment, and developed a slightly meaty smell, which interested our cat!
Zoe's cord separated on the 6th day, without any fuss; other babies have cried inconsolably or held their cord tightly before separation. We planted her placenta under a mandarin tree on her first birthday, which our dear friend and neighbour Annie later dug up and put in a pot when we moved interstate. She told us later that the mandarins from the tree were the sweetest she had ever tasted.
Our third child, Jacob Patrick, was born on the 25th September 1995, at home into water. Jacob and I stayed in the water for some time after the birth, so we floated his placenta in a plastic ice-cream carton (with the lid on, and a corner cut out for the cord) while I nursed him. This time, we put his placenta in a sieve to drain for the first day. I neither dressed nor carried Jacob at this time, but stayed in a still space with him, while Nicholas cared for Emma, 4, and Zoe, 2. His cord separated in just under 4 days, and I felt that he drank deeply of the stillness of that time.
His short "breaking forth" time was perfect because my parents arrived from New Zealand the following day to help with our household. He later chose a Jacaranda tree under which to bury his placenta at our new home in Queensland.
My fourth baby, Maia Rose, was born in Brisbane, where Lotus birth is still very new, on 26 July 2000. We had a beautiful 'Do It Yourself' birth at home, and my intuition told me that her breaking forth time would be short. I decided not to treat her placenta at all, but kept it in a sieve over a bowl in the daytime, and in the placenta bag at night. The cord separated in just under 3 days and, although it was a cool time of year, it did get become friable and rather smelly. (Salt treatment would have prevented this). Maia's placenta is and I broke off a piece of her dried cord to give to her when she is older.
My older children have blessed me with stories of their lives before birth, and have been unanimously in favour of not cutting the cord- especially Emma, who remembered the unpleasant feeling of having her cord cut, which she describes as being "painful in my heart". Zoe, at five years of age, described being attached to a 'love-heart thing' in my womb and told me "When I was born, the cord went off the love-heart thing and onto there (the placenta) and then I came out." Perhaps she remembers her placenta in utero as the source of nourishment and love.
Lotus birth has been, for us, an exquisite ritual which has enhanced the magic of the early post natal days. I notice an integrity and self-possession with my lotus-born children, and I believe that lovingness, cohesion, attunement to nature, trust, and respect for the natural order have all been imprinted on our family by our honouring of the placenta, the Tree of Life, through Lotus Birth.

I understand that the cord is still connected to the infant but is it still connected to the mother and if so isn't that highly uncomfortable for the mother??

Yeah sure.... ;|
Dana, the placenta leaves the mother's womb and remains attached to the cord. It is easy to care for it until the cord comes away at the navel 3-7days after birth.
My 3 1/2 year old daughter recently had a series of conversations with me recollecting her birth, time in NICU from day 3-10 and about her placenta. and what happened to it. In one of the conversations one morning as we snuggled in bed, she was twirling her hair intensely and became really upset asking me 'what happened to my placenta?'...'why did they take it away?'...'I want it back, it was important to me! They need to give it back'. We practiced delayed cord cutting, had an un-medicated home birth but I didn't know about lotus birth back then.
I asked my daughter what she would have wanted to happen as she was so distressed by the memories of her placenta leaving her and being cut away and taken away and she said 'I wanted it to stay until it dropped off. I didn't want them to cut it and take it away'. She beautifully described lotus birth without ever hearing anything about it which just pulled at my heart strings. We had a massive cry together and cuddle and are going to plant a tree in memory of her placenta.
Her distress at me not being able to get her placenta back was significant and it was hard to explain to her why in fact it did go, why the hospital 'needed' it (her words) etc. etc. I was acutely aware of our decision making as parents can be so flawed for our kids. While we have loving intentions and we are doing the best we can with the knowledge we have at the time, these decisions can still have such a big impact on our babies early experiences and then expectations of life going forwards. Thank you for raising awareness of this precious gift and practice for our babies.
..... What. There is no evidence that this helps the baby physically at all. Psychologically, perhaps. But even then it sounds like these stories from the children are just words they are repeating. Of course if they grow up with a parent telling them how precious and sacred their placenta is they will come up with falsified affection for it, even though they have very little recollection. Meanwhile cord blood has been found to be invaluable and have numerous benefits to seriously ill people - why does this practise, that helps no one, take priority over helping others?
I had a full Lotus Birth with my son, now 9 weeks. Sure there might not be scientific evidence for the effects of LB but you could equally apply that argument to the otherworldliness encountered when giving birth. For me (both things!) were glorious. My boys placenta fell off naturally after 4 days. During that time I kept it in a woven box covered in salt, cinnamon and fresh flowers (as is the custom here in Bali). Every time he felt anxious those early days he would hold his cord and find obvious solace there. He was very much emotionally connected to it. Since then, he has grown to become a very peaceful and gentle soul. I believe wholeheartedly that this is in part down to the gentle transition Lotus Birth gave him. As for taking cord blood - a barbaric act if you ask me! To steal your babies much needed source of nutrient and emotional solace in the frightening act of being birthed. Keep it gentle I say!!
I really recommend googling Robin Lim, an incredible midwife I had the luck to work with here. She runs a wonderful birth clinic - Bumi Sehat - and has written a book on Lotus Birth that can be bought and downloaded online...
Leah states that there is no physical benefit from either a lotus birth or from delayed cord cutting, that it is better to store the baby's blood.
The thing that most ppl do not realize is that when you clamp the cord quickly after birth and opt to store "cord blood" what you are, in fact, doing is forcing your newborn baby to basically donate 1/3 of it's available blood volume. Nature intends to give that blood to the baby, but immediate clamping prevents that. By at least waiting for a few hours after birth to cut, the placenta has a chance to do its full job. By not cutting at all, you give the baby a chance to adjust to the separation.
Just my two cents worth.
very good article.Iam an M.Sc Nurse in Obstetrics and gynaecology post graduation done in Manipal Karnataka,Manipal University.I found this article very useful and informative.Thank you PRABHA
I have five children of which four of them were lotus style, keeping the placenta attached. I met with much resistance from friends and family but was supported by my Husband and midwife. I had all home births and found my births a sublime spiritual experience. I also had a no talking policy hushed tones whispers and low level light. I did give a public talk on the style of birthing I chose that was set up by a university graduate, she also included my evidence into her thesis she was writing. I decided not to cut the cord as with my first birth even though I had left the cord attached to the placenta for a long while at cutting the cord I found it violent and it was the sound of discomfort from my new baby girl. With the other children when the cord fell off on its own volition their was a murmur from the baby as if to say "I am here" it was the first time that they were aware of me as well like they really saw me beyond the touch and feel of skin, breast and warmth. Akin to being fully delivered into themselves. It is an easy procedure everyday wash, salt and Tea tree drops before re-wrapping I made a red velvet bag with an embroided tree. The cord turns to what looks like a leather shoelace in 2 days the cord usually fell on day 6 or 7.

Pro-Clinton super PAC builds new leadership
WASHINGTON — Priorities USA Action, the super PAC that aided President Obama's re-election, announced a new leadership team Friday as it gears up for 2016 and a potential Hillary Rodham Clinton candidacy.
Buffy Wicks, most recently a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, is the super PAC's executive director. She is a veteran field organizer who served as a key staffer in Obama's re-election campaign and has worked in the White House's Office of Public Engagement.
Jonathan Mantz, a veteran Democratic strategist and fundraiser, was named senior adviser for finance. He ran Clinton's fundraising operation in the 2008 presidential campaign.
"With Buffy and Jonathan leading our team, we look forward to defining a clear choice for the American people in 2016," Priorities' co-founder Sean Sweeney said in a statement.
The super PAC is likely to back Clinton's presidential ambitions should she decide to run. A separate super PAC, Ready for Hillary, is focused on building grass-roots support for a Clinton campaign, while Priorities USA Action is likely to seek out larger donors to fund a more expensive advertising effort on the Democrat's behalf.
The new hires were first reported by The Washington Post.
