Slash Patient No-Shows Through Automated Appointment Reminder
Richard Lango June 30th, 2010
"Failed appointments pose financial as well as administrative problems for residency practices. Proactive reminder systems are needed to promote patient attendance." Concludes a study carried out to determine the effects of patient no-shows at clinics. The study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information showed that cancellations and no-shows covered 31.1% of scheduled appointments and gobbled up 32.2% of scheduled time. This results in a revenue shortfall of between 3% and 14% within one year.
Time and money: effects of no-shows at a family practice residency clinic
This study shows the seriousness of no-shows in any medical practice. Therefore, you cannot afford to take it for granted. You need to set up a good patient appointment reminder system to help your patients and your business. Most of the patient no-shows are as a result of the patients forgeting about their appoinments for one reason or another.
The secret here is the word good. There are very many reminder services in the market, and not all of them will suit your purposes. So, what constitutes a good reminder program?
The reminder software you are using helps you to get in touch with your patients in the best way possible. This means that it needs to have a way of reaching all types of people, hence it should get in touch with the patients in a variety of ways, including:
Telephone is a very good way of getting in touch with many people. An automated telephone reminder is especially suitable for the elderly who do not often use the newer modes of communication.
You will cater to the needs of the patients who prefer using the telephone. However, you can still miss some people since not all people have installed an answering system in case they are away.
Many people use email nowadays, which makes it a convenient way of reaching them. There are some people who use email as their main mode of communication.
If your reminder software uses email alone, however, you will not serve every person well. In addition, the prevalence of spam mail has resulted in spam filters that can inadvertently send your reminders to the spam folders.
Text message
Apart from the fact that very many people use cell phones, text messages have the added advantage that you will reach your patients wherever they are. This is an especially good choice for busy individuals who travel often.
However, the patients have to pay for the text messages.
Your patient reminder service should therefore include all these options. Preventing just one no-show in a month suffices to cover your subscription.

VA is taking steps to improve and expand services for women Veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Many women Veterans face challenges when returning to civilian life that are different from those of their male counterparts, including raising children on their own or dealing with the psychological after effects of events such as military sexual trauma. These issues, without intervention, can put women Veterans at greater risk of becoming homeless. This makes VA's efforts to provide housing and health care support all the more critical. It is a challenge VA continues to embrace.
Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF) – SSVF awards grants to private nonprofit organizations and consumer cooperatives who will provide supportive services to very low income Veterans and their families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing. The grantees will provide a range of supportive services designed to promote housing stability. SSVF grants are released throughout the year so check often to see when new funding is available. Learn more about the SSVF program.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and VA Supportive Housing Program (HUD-VASH) partner to provide permanent, supportive housing and treatment services for homeless Veterans. HUD allocated nearly 38,000 "Housing Choice" vouchers across the country, which allows Veterans and their families to live in market rate rental housing while VA provides case management services. A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the local public housing authority on behalf of the participating Veteran. The Veteran then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. The case management services facilitate the attainment of the Veteran's recovery goals. The HUD-VASH Program is for the most vulnerable Veterans, and provides special services for women Veterans, those recently returning from combat zones, and Veterans with disabilities. Learn more about the HUD-VASH Program.
The Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program funds community-based agencies providing transitional housing or service centers for homeless Veterans. Through the program, each year (as funding is available) VA offers grants that may fund up to 65 percent of the project for the construction, acquisition, or renovation of facilities or to purchase van(s) to provide outreach and services to homeless Veterans. Grant/Per Diem Webpage
Women Veterans Health Care Program – Since 1988, the Women Veterans Health Care program has provided focused care for women Veterans in a safe environment that aims to raise the standard of women's health care. By focusing on primary care, reproductive health, and other health issues unique to women, VA seeks to provide the care that helps keep our women Veterans healthy and in a position to live fruitful lives. Women Veterans need not worry about their specific health issues not being accommodated by VA. Visit http://www.womenshealth.va.gov/
VA Mental Health for Women Veterans – VA recognizes that women Veterans experience their military service in different ways than men and also deal with unique mental health conditions. Because of this, VA provides specialized services to help women work through conditions such as PTSD or Military Sexual Trauma.

Sun exposure is not a laughing matter, cow-nose
So you don't believe skin cancer will ever happen to you? You think your life will be over by then, anyhow?
Here's what I want you to do: Look at the pictures on these pages. That's me. Undergoing treatment for skin cancer. Becoming what some would probably consider quite unattractive.
Now ask yourself this: How would you like to look in the mirror and see this face staring back at you? Do you think that nice tan today is worth spending your final 30 golden years with such a face? Do you want to be called "cow-nose"?
Back in the day. I always had a tan when I was young. In my day, farmer daddies tied their sons—at least the more fractious of us—onto bald wheatland tractors around their ninth birthday and sent their mamas to get them when it was time to go to college.
There were no gimme caps in those days, and a decent straw hat cost you $5—10 hours of work, on a farm kid's pay scale. Plus, it made the top of your head white and uncool. Nobody had ever strung the letters SPF together. If skin cancer had been invented, I never heard of it.
Now I've not only heard of it, I've got something like a layman's Ph.D. Let me tell you about my recent Mohs treatment and how I was able to obtain these studio-quality pictures.
|What started out as a small, scaly spot on my nose was determined to be cancerous by my doctor. Basal cell carcinoma is a form of non-melanoma cancer, the least dangerous form of skin cancer.
I've been getting sundry forms of skin problems for 30 years or more. It started with something called actinic keratosis spots—scaly little spots that are considered "precancerous." My lay understanding is that most of them are harmless. But some of them can turn into cancer. So my wife sent me to a skin doctor. He started by using liquid nitrogen to "freeze" the spots off. I'd go in twice a year, and he'd freeze off 10 or 20 such spots on my arms and face and send me home looking like a smallpox survivor.
Then, one day, one spot looked "suspicious." He took me in the back room, gave me a shot of numbing medicine and biopsied it. A few days later, I got a call: I had cancer. It turned out this wasn't "cancer!" with an exclamation point, just "cancer" with a period. Basal cell carcinoma. "Non-melanoma cancer," the doctor said.
I'm lucky. This is the most common, least dangerous form of skin cancer. Left untreated it can kill you, but it takes a long time. Squamous cell carcinoma, the other main non-melanoma cancer, is a little worse. Melanoma is the worst. It's the one they blame on tanning beds, and if you don't find it early and get it treated, it will cut your life short. Sadly, having even the basal cell stuff indicates a susceptibility to the more dangerous forms.
So I went back in and the doctor numbed the spot again and cut it out while we talked about the cattle market. No biggie.
He said I should always wear a 4"-brimmed hat, long-sleeve shirts and sunscreen. I was spending a lot of time in the office, and I told him so. He frowned the way doctors and wives do when you question their authority. "You're getting more sun than you think," he said. "I can tell."
A period of maintenance. I followed through with regular, quarterly visits to the dermatologist. We went through lots of liquid nitrogen. Every now and then, we'd biopsy a spot and dig it out. Then came my first Mohs surgery.
Mohs—named after the guy who first did it—involves having a surgeon cut away a cancer spot one layer at a time. After each cutting, he takes a sample to the lab and looks to see if he's got all the cancer. If not, he repeats the process. Mohs is mostly used in sites where scarring would be a problem, such as the face, or where you don't want to sacrifice more tissue than necessary.
|After several Mohs treatments (and shots in the nose!) I was referred to a plastic surgeon for reconstructive surgery. A yellow bandage was sewn on until the Integra Flowable Wound Matrix, a cow tissue product, could be absorbed.
For the next few years, we did a lot of nitrogen, a bit of back-room surgery and the occasional Mohs procedure.
I thought I had it figured out: I go to the surgeon. She gives me some shots to numb the afflicted region. She scrapes the spot. She sends me to the waiting room. Her nurse comes in and says we didn't get it all. I get another numbing session, another cut and go back to the waiting room.
After a repetition or two, the nurse comes and says it's time to "close." I get back in the chair and get a bandage or, if it's a bad one, a few stitches. Then I go home, whine a bit to my wife and, if I can convince her the painkillers aren't working, maybe get some ice cream. That's the way it always was.
Then it was different. This one got my attention. I had already planned on writing a piece about skin cancer for the magazine—just to show you youngsters the long-term effects of ignoring all that sun advice—so I held my camera out, pointed it at the offending spot and took a picture. I got the surgeon and her nurse to shoot more pictures as the day progressed.
This one started on the bridge of my nose—right below what is known in the family as "that awful Cornett bump"—and ran down the side. Around the fifth session, my surgeon observed it was a "good thing you have plenty of nose to work with." By the sixth session, she was talking about reconstructive surgery. By that time, more than five hours had elapsed and she had called me back seven times.
At four or five shots per session, I calculated she had given me about 30 shots in the nose. In the nose!
There would be no closing today. The Mohs specialist turned me over to a plastic surgeon, who booked me into a real surgery room. There, an anesthesiologist partially euthanized me and the surgeon stapled—did you get that? stapled!—some "Integra Flowable Wound Matrix" into the sore that once was the starboard side of my nose. Then he sewed onto that a bright yellow "bolster" pressure bandage and, with what looked to be 100-lb. test fishing line, pulled it up piggin' string tight.
He said I couldn't get in the sun or dust until the bolster comes off. So I'm confined to quarters.
Bless the cows. In a few days, we'll take it off and see if the Integra took. It usually does, he said. It is made from bovine tissue—bless the cows—which the human nose absorbs like its own, putting blood vessels in there and everything. Then we'll give it a while and see if it needs a skin graft. If it does—pay attention here, sun worshippers—he'll cut a gash in my forehead, fold the skin down over my nose and sew it all together nice and neat.
So that's the story. I bring it up for those of you who think suntans look so good. Look at those pictures of me. Do you want to look like that someday? If you don't pay attention to SPF, hats and limiting your midday exposure, you just might be a cow-nose like me.
If, that is, you're lucky. Otherwise, it might be melanoma. And that, friend, is no laughing matter.

Glorious Mysteries
How to pray the Rosary?
At the beginning of each decade, announce the "mystery" to be contemplated, for example, the first joyful mystery is "The Annunciation".
After a short pause for reflection, recite the "Our Father", ten "Hail Marys" and the "Glory be to the Father".
An invocation may be added after each decade.
At the end of the Rosary, the Loreto Litany or some other Marian prayer is recited.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen..
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy; hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.

As Six Go to Court, Police Face Questions on Rape
By Shefali Anand and Romit Guha
India's police have come under fire in the wake of the gang-rape of a 23-year-old New Delhi student who died Saturday, sparking a debate about law-enforcement reforms.
Women's activists say police often try to dissuade rape victims from registering cases, and sometimes steer them to marry their rapists.
"They usually think that the girl must be having an affair with the boy," says Vandana Sharma, president of Nari Raksha Samiti, a non-profit organization in Delhi that works on women's issues. Ms. Sharma said India's police needs more female recruits, with one woman officer stationed at every station to make it easier for women to file rape complaints.
In late December, an 18-year-old woman, who was allegedly gang-raped in the Patiala district of the north Indian state of Punjab, committed suicide after the local police were slow to register her complaint, according to Indian news reports. The woman named the rapists in her suicide note and said that the police repeatedly called her in to ask "uncomfortable" questions, according to reports.
One police officer has been disciplined in connection with this case, said Patiala's Superintendent of Crime Jaipal Singh on Wednesday. He declined to give further details.
India's police force defends its performance combating rape, pointing to the swift arrest of six people alleged to have gang-raped the student who died on Saturday. "In 17 hours, the case was worked out," says Rajan Bhagat, a spokesman for Delhi's police force.
But Mr. Bhagat acknowledged police need to be more sensitive to women's issues. "We shouldn't have cases of women complainants being treated insolently," he said. Senior police officers, he added, have been told that expectations have increased. "The commissioner has issued strict instructions to all the station house officers of police stations to take immediate action in all complaints irrespective of jurisdictions, which can be sorted out later."
The six men who allegedly gang-raped the New Delhi student for an hour on a moving bus on Dec. 16 are set to appear in court to be charged by a Delhi court on Thursday. Police say they are seeking charges of murder, which carries the death penalty.
Activists, though, say the New Delhi case is unusual because of the amount of media attention it has generated, pressuring the police to act quickly. They point to thousands of other cases that either are not registered by police or get stuck in India's legal system.
During 2011, only 15% of the over 95,000 pending rape cases made it to court, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. Reported incidences of rape increased to 24,206 in 2011, up 25.1% from 2006, the bureau's statistics show.
Some activists say the police don't have enough well-trained officers to adequately deal with the number of potential rape cases.
An average policeman in India covers around 1,000 people, three times the global average, according to 2009 data from Human Rights Watch. In general, Indian policemen don't have fixed working hours, sometimes working 12 to 18 hours at a stretch, and still get paid a pittance.
For instance, a head constable with five to seven years of experience, earns a monthly salary of around 20,000 rupees ($367) – about what a fresh recruit in India's information-technology industry would take home.
Activists also are calling for better training to enable police to deal more effectively with cases of violence against women. Instead of questioning a woman's character or her dress when an incident takes place, the police should be required to seriously investigate the charges, says Sunita Thakur, a consultant at non-profit Jagori, which works on domestic abuse cases.
Ms. Thakur says police officers who don't wrap up such cases within a specified period of time should be punished to set an example.
She adds there's also a need for a change in India's criminal law to recognize rape by a husband, which she says comprises a majority of domestic violence cases but is not covered in the current penal code.
Some say the police could make better use of their officers, many of whom regularly are deployed to escort politicians and other VIPs.
This problem is particularly grave in India's capital, where instead of policing, many officers are tied up providing security to ministers and visiting officials to the city. Mr. Bhagat said that around 10% of Delhi's police force is typically covering VIPs on an average day, but some local media suggests the number is as high as 25%.
The current state of India's police force can be seen at a police housing complex in the Hauz Khas neighborhood of south Delhi. Here, many of the four-story apartments have broken windows and walls with peeling paint.
A head constable at the colony, who didn't want to be named, said that he earned around 32,000 per month ($587), after nearly 30 years of service. He moved to the Hauz Khas complex two years ago to live in a two-bedroom apartment with his wife and three children. The constable said he had installed metal grills in place of a missing window pane to protect the apartment from potential theft.
Azad Kaur, the 64-year-old mother of a sub-inspector who also lives in the complex, said government authorities didn't do anything to improve their living conditions. On Wednesday afternoon, Ms. Kaur was on her way to complain about a gutter that had been blocked for nearly two months.
In addition to poor living conditions, some policemen note that the job itself has little to offer. The head constable said he hadn't been promoted since 1996, leaving him with little motivation to excel at work.

When Felix was not even 2 1/2 years old, his cute observation in baby German meant pretty much something like "Like son, like daddy". We were wearing the same type of beach sandals, and that is what Felix had keenly, and proudly, noticed.
I also always thought - actually pretended - that Felix was a little Wolf, an extension of myself (all insecure macho-fathers seem to need the assurance that their babies are without the slightest trace of a doubt REALLY theirs... Hahahaahahaha!!!!)

..... others think that Felix has more of his old man (luckily not the Wolf's schnas :-)
But that is not what I wanted to say. I want to say that Felix has turned into a Sharkman*), one of the kind I like: Genuinely feeling close to, and concerned about, sharks. No ego-driven BS, and not exuberantly advertising his new love. Sharks have become Felix's intimate passion, and diving with them a big time adventure.

A fully grown Blacktip Shark approaches Felix - and he loves it!!
Not that the urge for 'adventure' would run deeply in the family; we Leanders just need a touch of the exceptional once in a while to feel that we are alive.I was a simple money changer by trade all my life, and, believe me, there is nothing especially "adventurous" about collecting deposits at low interest rates with your left hand and basically lending the same dough at higher rates with your right hand.
I have to enlighten you, so please bear with me as I schmooze a little bit about the topic.
I have to enlighten you, so please bear with me as I schmooze a little bit about the topic.
In fact, it is a rather safe and, I'd say, boring way to earn money, not tons of it, but enough to enable Shylock's epigones to make a decent living with just the 'spread'.
So, to add some spice to my very bourgeois life as a three piece suit wearing wan... errr, I mean banker, I did some pretty reckless stuff such as, for instance back in 1967, applying for, and getting, a job on a yacht as a navigator without having a clue of dead reckoning, let alone celestial navigation.
After I was hired I promised to do my home-work, and learned the bare essentials, including the functions of a sextant, in two weeks.... For those of you who only know what a GPS is: Christopher Columbus used a quadrant, a forerunner of the sextant. Columbus' quadrant was basically the same instrument I had to became familiar with.
We sailed in a 42-ft yacht from Mallorca to the Canary Islands, me being the only one with at least a pale notion of the art of navigating offshore. Hard to believe but we were blown off the course by only 10 miles - everybody was very happy with the relative accuracy of my navigation. Mind you, this was a little over forty years ago.
My father Wolfgang Julius Leander (1905 - 1964), a native of Berlin, also had a rather traditional job in the 1930s, at least in his own, non-typical unassuming view as a 'Berliner' - he was, among other things, a meticulous mechanical engineer and a stunt and test pilot to whom risk had to be manageable by calculation, not speculation or intuition - not exactly the trait of a hard-core adventurer.
And yet, doing hair-raising aerobatics in small biplanes or ditching a fully loaded Curtiss C-46 into a swamp in the Bolivian tropical lowlands as opposed to sitting safely in ventilated offices was his way of satisfying his hunger for a little excitement in life - lieber Papi: You were my hero, still are!!
My maternal Hamburg born grandfather Alfred Wacey Barber (1866 - 1937) set up shop in the middle of the Amazon in 1890 as a 24 year old rubber entrepreneur. This was right after serving a three year overseas assignment as an assistant representative of a German trading firm in Vera Cruz, Mexico.
I hesitate to say that my grandfather was a 'rubber baron' (he was), having heard too often the sometimes more fitting expression 'robber baron' for shady characters and other soldiers of fortune swarmed in from Europe and elsewhere who were just that: robbers - Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador was full of 'interesting' people already then.
Alfred Wacey Barber might have met Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in the highlands of Bolivia without knowing who the dashing gringos Paul Newman and Robert Redford really were... :-)
For sure the legendary Fitzcarraldo, obsessively well played by Klaus Kinski in the Herzog cult movie of the same name, and my grandfather must have known each other - they were both competitors of British extraction in the rubber business.
Amidst this rather, shall we say, unusual business ambiente my grandfather thought of himself, and was regarded by others, as a dependable, solid 'Kaufmann'. To him, and his generation, that word was synonymous with the protestant ethics of an honorable, old school merchant in the best hanseatic tradition.
Sorry for having gone off at a tangent perhaps a bit too far...
OK, now back to Felix.
Felix, 31, works as a Lead Digital Strategist at Burson-Marsteller, the world's largest PR agency. And, boy, does he get to see the world in that position!
Today London, next week Mumbay and Delhi, then the boss sends Felix to co-lead or lead a three-day long training workshop in Santiago, Buenos Aires or Lima, only to find out on his flight back that he has to travel next to San Francisco to discuss digital media strategies with one of Burson-Marsteller's prestigious client in that area.
Wow - I envy Felix for his fantastically dynamic job! Not so sure whether Carmencita, my daughter-in-law, and Tibucito, my grand-dog-in-law, feel the same - hehehehehe.
Long story short, finally: I wanted to share with you the pleasure I felt to realize that Felix has learnt one of the most important lessons in PR: "PR begins at home".
Accordingly, Felix has posted about sharks in his company's blog, and thus converted the world-wide Burson-Marsteller family into shark lovers!!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I restand the Android smartphone, started the Android Logos application, and within two minutes the new recources downloaded to the Android device.
I restarted the iPad and started the iPad Logos app. So far the new recources have not downloaded to the iPAd, and the app has fully cycled through a "Checking for Updates" process with nothing found.
Does this functionality require a not-yet-released iOS app version update?
Here's a screenshot of it working the old way on my Vista box. Aero effects are present on the title bar area with the OS's style of close/minimize/maximize theme.
The menu that is open on the left is achieved by clicking in the very top left corner - which is what I was referring to. On this old version double clicking in the very top left corner results in Logos being closed.
I can put up another shot when I get home of the new behavior, but basically clicking in the top left does nothing but register as a standard click on the home button, and the title bar area completely lacks Aero effects, and the close/minimize/maximize theme looks to be that of windows 8 rather than windows 7, but I might be mistaken in this that it is merely the look of things under windows 7 without Aero, but it does look allot like the windows 8 look from what I've seen..
After updating on the same machine the UI changed in this way and clicking top left corner no longer opens the menu or responds to a double click close.
Notice the Aero effects vanished, and the controls to minimize/maximize/close are no longer showing the windows versions, but this stripped down "windows8?" look instead.
Opening resources in floating windows still maintain the traditional old look. The change seems limited to the main window.
Kenneth Grant Johnson:Notice the Aero effects vanished, and the controls to minimize/maximize/close are no longer showing the windows versions, but this stripped down "windows8?" look instead.
It matches the new Logos 5 look (in Vista/7/8) and reflects what MS is doing in Windows 8. Whether or not that makes Logos 4 "faster" I can't say!
Yea I'm not really bothered so much, just nothing in the release notes about it so I asked.

I opened the Birth Center in order to better serve the families I've known in the near North Houston community for the past 6 years while employed at a local hospital and delivering babies there. I am a Certified Nurse Midwife with 10 years experience in hospital birth, and now 1 year in the Birth Center. Previously, I was a Labor & Delivery nurse for 20 years. I became a midwife because I wanted to be a provider to be able to support normal birth for every woman. I am also a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator.
Every woman deserves a Doula, so I employ several well trained doulas to attend every woman and her family during birth, and to offer support in the hours afterward.
We also provide all well woman services, including annual exams & Pap smears, STD checks and treatment, and menopausal evaluation and treatment.
Our facility is conveniently located on I-45 North of the 610 loop and is furnished to offer comfort and relaxation to Mom and her support people. We accept many insurances and Medicaid.

psm necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 79 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
Hi! I'm looking for a logo design to match an in-development site. The color selection, theme and brief are in place already.
-- Also, just a note to those entering in the final hours: I will take the time to review your entries carefully, but the contest also happens to be closing in the morning of Mother's Day where I am, and my lovely wife deserves my attention for the day, so I'll likely delay my choice of the winner for a short while after the closing time.
The design should be of a full-color logo for the website and its reduced-color/black and white equivalent for business cards and general printing. It needs to match the color theme of the example web page snippet at http://skitch.com/psm42/kar2/reward…incentives, which demonstrates the use of the dominant green colors with yellow highlights, and the less dominant white and grays.
The logo should include the RewardAgent name, and may or may not include the byline "Make Rewards Easy". It needs to portray a trustworthy, but fresh, dynamic and easy-to-use environment for giving and receiving rewards. Please do not use the "agent" portion of the name to introduce a metaphor in the logo. I would prefer it to be free of additional associative themes.
I was encouraged to use 99designs by the winning logo for prizebrand.com - you may want to have a look there for inspiration (but please, no design rip-off of course!).
- A match to the color theme at http://skitch.com/psm42/kar2/reward…incentives
- Use the RewardAgent text (feel free to break it into two words)
- Think fresh, trustworthy, solid, dynamic, easy-to-use
- Full-color logo for use on website plus reduced-color equivalent for printing materials
- Original vector-editing or whatever you use files, plus medium/large-format png export of the design for easy inclusion on the site.

Customer reviews
Emily M.7 months agoRafael and Tony were both great and made the car buying process a snap! I test drove the car I wanted, did all the paperwork, and drove away with exactly what I came for in only 2 1/2 hours. Super easy! Highly recommend them.
Neil H.7 months agoTook my 2019 VW Jetta GLI Autobahn in to the service department because I was heading clunking noises from the rear. (Have only had it a little over a month) I initially talked to someone else to make an appointment to get it checked out, but to my disappointment was weeks out from being able to check my car out. Thankfully, my fiancée got into contact with Joe Kalem, who is a customer at her work. He was able to check out my car the next day! Turns out the sway bar end link was loose, and had it replaced under warranty. Very professional and thorough with me about the process. Even had my car washed. Thanks again Joe Kalem!
Julianna O.7 months agoI'd give Amber Orcutt more than 5 stars if I could. She made this easily my best car-buying experience and I've had a few transactions in my day. I had reached out to her online because I wanted to compare a quote from my local VW dealer. She was really quick to respond and we basically negotiated the deal, including my trade, via text and I only had to show up in person to finalize things and pick up my car. It was completely worth the drive. Amber is an excellent communicator and makes sure you're clear on the process, every step of the way. Seriously can't recommend her and the team at Folsom Lake VW highly enough- it was completely worth the 2 1/2 hour drive and I would do it again. Bottom line- Amber treats you like she would want to be treated in the process and that totally comes through.
Jessie M.7 months agoRafael "Mr. Miami" did awesome today helping me getting into a cheaper car payment. He was professional, friendly and understood my financial situation. I would highly recommend Folsom Lake Volkswagen. Ask for Rafael when you go. Staff and Managers also made it happen. Thank you again and I look forward to future purchases. My kids were happy too.
Roman D.8 months agoThe staff was very helpful. My experience buying my first VW was a positive one. I love my new car!
S S.10 months agoVisited this dealership looking for one of three used cars. Rafael quickly offered assistance, a test drive and pertinent information about the car. He spent time answering all my questions, and pulled the carfax records for me to view and use as a reference for making my decision. Talk to Rafael and he will answer or find the answers to your questions.
Nate M.1 year agoMy dude Rafael hooked it up. I was upside down hardcore in my car and I felt like I got the treatment I wanted from Rafael and the Folsom VW team. Tony too! They were awesome I walked in late on Tuesday night and they still stayed way past closing time to get me in to my new Tiguan that night. Solid team.
Roseville VW was awful and almost steered me away from VW completely, but Folsom totally turned it around. Thanks guys.
Trish M.1 year agoI had to have my VW TDI towed there today. Joe Kalem was such a great help. He was so nice and followed up with me. Folsom Lake VW offers much better service than Roseville VW (who I had been going to for years) Folsom will now be my dealership of choice.
Erin A.1 year agoOne the things I dread most about being a car owner is the service, whether routine or unplanned. However, Folsom Lake Volkswagen has changed my mind on that. Joe K. has provided me with exceptional service for the past few years. He's helpful, friendly, and thorough in providing me with all the information I need to make an informed decision about my car's needs. It can be difficult to find good customer service, but I can confidently say that Joe K. goes above and beyond expectation!
Adam A.1 year agoI recently bought a 2017 VW CC from here. I liked the finance and sales department they got a 5/5 well the detail department I would give a 0/5 so they're getting a 4/5 total. But overall a good shopping experience

Egypt oppo warns vote may fuel tensions
Feb 22, 2013, 7:42 AM EST
(AP Photo/Nasser Nasser)
CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian opposition leader is warning the president's call for parliamentary elections in April will only inflame the country's political tensions.
Mohamed ElBaradei, who leads the main opposition National Salvation Front, wrote on his Twitter account Friday that President Mohammed Morsi's "decision to go for parliamentary elections amidst severe societal polarization and eroding state authority is a recipe for disaster."
ElBaradei's group has already warned it would boycott the vote unless there are talks with the president aimed at real reconciliation. It has also said it will boycott if election laws written by the Islamist-led interim parliament favor Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood party.
The Brotherhood has consistently won at the ballot box since Egypt's uprising two years ago while the mostly secular and liberal opposition has trailed significantly behind.

Stewards of Civil War Railroads – Part II Davis
This post continues from Part I, here.
Jefferson Davis (above) and the Confederate Congress, by contrast, were reluctant to wrestle control of the railroads away from civilian owners. This was consistent with a laissez faire pattern exhibited by Davis on a number of issues involving civilian commercial interests and may have been a response to the populace's opposition to overbearing centralized government. The consequences were dire for Lee. In the winter of 1862, he found his Army of Northern Virginia completely reliant on its communications. [i]

With the mobility, indeed the survival, of the army dependent on the efficient use of the railroads, the railroad owners responded with an assertion of their individual rights. They failed to cooperate. Government shipments were accorded low priority. The railroads over which the animals' feed had to be transported refused to use the space for bulk fodder. The breakdown of the railroad system led to a crisis in the supply of horses, mules, fodder, and subsistence. The Army of Northern Virginia was left hanging at the end of its lines of communications.[ii]
Above: Warrenton Depot, on the Orange & Alexandria RR, in August 1862. Supply point for Lee.
Davis' refusal to give greater control to the military for operation of the railroads added to "the weight of this burden of waging war by improvisation within the confines of the Confederacy's social and political ideals [and] helped break the back of Confederate offensive power." [iii]
Edward Hagerman notes that problems continued into 1863 as "conflicts between the commissary agents of field commanders and those of the [Confederate] Subsistence Department hampered efficient gathering of available resources." [iv] The largest obstacle was "the failure of the railroads to cooperate in the distribution of food surpluses from other states to the Army of Northern Virginia. Neither the army nor the government exercised any control over the railroads." [v] It wasn't until Lee's army was faced with starvation that the Confederate Congress intervened. In April of 1863, it "hesitantly" granted Jefferson Davis the "authority to regulate the railroads." [vi]
The laissez faire-minded Davis was as reluctant to accept the authority as the Confederate Congress was to bestow it. Here was the instrument to prevent a recurrence of the crisis of the past winter. It would enable through scheduling the interchange of rolling stock from one railroad to another. It also would enable the War Department, rather than the railroad owners, to decide on the priority of material to be transported. [vii]
Davis signed the bill into law but Congress ensured its ineffectiveness by failing to approve an "office of railroad superintendent" as proposed by the secretary of war and by sacking the temporary appointee. [viii] "Not until early 1865, far too late, did the Confederacy finally take control of the railroads." [ix]

G H Hardy's father, Isaac Hardy, was bursar and an art master at Cranleigh school. His mother Sophia had been a teacher at Lincoln Teacher's Training School. Both parents were highly intelligent with some mathematical skills but, coming from poor families, had not been able to have a university education. Hardy (he was always known as Hardy except to one or two close friends who called him Harold) attended Cranleigh school up to the age of twelve with great success [6]:-
His parents knew he was prodigiously clever, and so did he. He came top of his class in all subjects. But, as a result of coming top of his class, he had to go in front of the school to receive prizes: and that he could not bear.Hardy did not appear to have the passion for mathematics that many mathematicians experience when young. Hardy himself writes in [5]:-
I do not remember having felt, as a boy, any passion for mathematics, and such notions as I may have had of the career of a mathematician were far from noble. I thought of mathematics in terms of examinations and scholarships: I wanted to beat other boys, and this seemed to be the way in which I could do so most decisively.Indeed he did win a scholarship to Winchester College in 1889, entering the College the following year. Winchester was the best school in England for mathematical training yet, despite admitting later in life that he had been well-educated there, Hardy disliked everything about the school other than the academic training he received. Like all public schools it was a rough place for a frail, shy boy like Hardy. It is significant that although he did have a passion for ball games in general and cricket in particular, he was never coached in sport at Winchester. Somehow he failed to take part fully in the non-academic activities.
While at Winchester Hardy won an open scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge, which he entered in 1896. At Cambridge Hardy was assigned to the most famous coach R R Webb. He quickly realised that the point of the training was simply to achieve the best possible marks in the examinations by learning all the tricks of the trade. He was shocked to discover that Webb was not interested in the subject of mathematics, only in the tricks of examinations.
Briefly Hardy thought he might change topics and study history instead. However, he managed to change his coach to A E H Love. Hardy expresses his gratitude to Love in [6]:-
My eyes were first opened by Professor Love, who first taught me a few terms and gave me my first serious conception of analysis. But the great debt which I owe to him was his advice to read Jordan's "Cours d'analyse"; and I shall never forget the astonishment with which I read that remarkable work, the first inspiration for so many mathematicians of my generation, and learnt for the first time as I read it what mathematics really meant.Hardy was placed as fourth wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos of 1898, a result which continued to annoy him for, despite feeling that the system was very silly, he still felt that he should have come out on top. Hardy was elected a fellow of Trinity in 1900 then, in 1901, he was awarded a Smith's prize jointly with J H Jeans 'with unspecified relative merit'.
The next period of Hardy's career was up to 1911 when, as Burkill writes in [1], he:-
... wrote many papers on the convergence of series and integrals and allied topics. Although this work established his reputation as an analyst, his greatest service to mathematics in this early period was "A course of pure mathematics" (1908). This work was the first rigorous English exposition of number, function, limit, and so on, adapted to the undergraduate, and thus it transformed university teaching.This was a period of which Hardy wrote himself [4]:-
I wrote a great deal... but very little of any importance; there are not more than four or five papers which I can still remember with some satisfaction.It is worth noting at this point that Hardy was a remarkably honest man, and in particular he was very honest about his own abilities, strengths and weaknesses.
A major change in Hardy's work came about in 1911 when he began his collaboration with J E Littlewood which was to last 35 years. Then in early 1913 he received Ramanujan's first letter from India which was to start his second major collaboration. By the time World War I started in 1914, Ramanujan was in Cambridge and this eased for Hardy what was to be a very difficult period.
Littlewood left Cambridge for war service in the Royal Artillery. Hardy volunteered for war service but was rejected on medical grounds. However Hardy's views on the war left him at odds with most of his colleagues at Cambridge. He had great respect for Germany [6]:-
... he had a strong feeling for Germany. Germany had, after all, been the great educating force of the nineteenth century. To Eastern Europe, to Russia, to the United States, it was the German universities which had taught the meaning of research. ... in most respects the German culture, including its social welfare, appeared to him higher than his own. ... Hardy, like Russell ... did not believe that the war should have been fought. Further, with his ingrained distrust of English politicians, he thought the balance of wrong was on the English side.Deeply unhappy at Cambridge, Hardy took the opportunity to leave in 1919 when he was appointed as Savilian professor of geometry at Oxford. These were in many ways the years when he was happiest and also the years when he produced his best mathematics in the collaboration with Littlewood. This collaboration was achieved during a period when Littlewood was in Cambridge and Hardy was in Oxford, making joint research a quite difficult logistical exercise. As Hardy wrote in [5]:-
I was at my best at a little past forty, when I was a professor at Oxford.Despite his background and the positions he held, Hardy preferred the poor and disadvantaged to those he called the 'large bottomed' who included [6]:-
... the confident, booming, imperialist bourgeois English. The designation included most bishops, headmasters, judges, and all politicians, with the single exception of Lloyd George.He had chosen not to live in the best rooms while at Cambridge, and Hilbert was so concerned that Hardy was not being properly treated that he wrote to the Master of the College pointing out that the best mathematician in England should have the best rooms. However, Hardy did not think that way. He held a trade union office for two years (1924-26) as President of the Association of Scientific Workers. At a time when it seemed difficult to do so, Hardy liked equally both the United States and Russia. He spent the academic year 1928-29 at Princeton in an exchange with Veblen, who spent the year in Oxford.
Despite having been unhappy at Cambridge, Hardy returned to the Sadleirian chair there in 1931 when Hobson retired. Snow in [6] says that Hardy returned to Cambridge for two reasons, firstly that he still considered Cambridge the centre of English mathematics and the Sadleirian chair the foremost mathematics chair in England, and secondly, that he could keep his rooms in College at Cambridge while this was not possible at Oxford. To the unmarried Hardy, this held an attraction as he began to look toward old age.
Hardy's interests covered many topics of pure mathematics - Diophantine analysis, summation of divergent series, Fourier series, the Riemann zeta function, and the distribution of primes. His long collaboration with Littlewood produced mathematics of the highest quality. It was a collaboration in which Hardy acknowledged Littlewood's greater technical mathematical skills, but at the same time Hardy brought great talents of mathematical insight and a great ability to write their work up in papers with great clarity.
Even more remarkable was Hardy's collaboration with Ramanujan. Hardy instantly spotted Ramanujan's genius from a manuscript sent to him by Ramanujan from India in 1913. Two other top class mathematicians had previously failed to spot the genius. Hardy brought Ramanujan to Cambridge and they wrote five remarkable papers together.
It was not only with Littlewood and Ramanujan that Hardy collaborated. He was a natural collaborator who also wrote joint papers with Titchmarsh, Ingham, Edmund Landau, Pólya, E M Wright, W W Rogosinski and Marcel Riesz.
Hardy was a pure mathematician who hoped his mathematics could never be applied. However in 1908, near the beginning of his career, he gave a law describing how the proportions of dominant and recessive genetic traits would be propagated in a large population. Hardy considered it unimportant but it has proved of major importance in blood group distribution.
There was only one passion in Hardy's life other than mathematics and that was cricket. In fact for most of his life his day, at least during the cricket season, would consist of breakfast during which he read The Times studying the cricket scores with great interest. After breakfast he would work on his own mathematical researches from 9 o'clock till 1 o'clock. Then, after a light lunch, he would walk down to the university cricket ground to watch a game. In the late afternoon he would walk slowly back to his rooms in College. There he took dinner, which he followed with a glass of wine. When cricket was not in season, it was the Australian cricket scores he would read in The Times and he would play real tennis in the afternoons.
Hardy was known for his eccentricities. He could not endure having his photograph taken and only five snapshots are known to exist. He also hated mirrors and his first action on entering any hotel room was to cover any mirror with a towel. He always played an amusing game of trying to fool God (which is also rather strange since he claimed all his life not be believe in God). For example, during a trip to Denmark he sent back a postcard claiming that he had proved the Riemann hypothesis. He reasoned that God would not allow the boat to sink on the return journey and give him the same fame that Fermat had achieved with his "last theorem".
Another example of his trying to fool God was when he went to cricket matches he would take what he called his "anti-God battery". This consisted of thick sweaters, an umbrella, mathematical papers to referee, student examination scripts etc. His theory was that God would think that he expected rain to come so that he could then get on with his work. Since Hardy thought that God would then have the sun shine all day to spite him, he would be able to enjoy the cricket in perfect sunshine.
As World War I had been painful for Hardy, World War II was equally so. He had remained remarkably youthful in both mind and body until 1939 when, at the age of 62, he had a heart attack. His remarkable mental powers began to leave him and sports which he had loved to participate in up till then became impossible. He was filled with anger that Europe had again entered the lunacy of war. However, Hardy had one further gift to leave to the world, namely A mathematicians apology which has inspired many towards mathematics.
Hardy's book A mathematicians apology was written in 1940. It is one of the most vivid descriptions of how a mathematician thinks and the pleasure of mathematics. But the book is more, as Snow writes in [6]:-
A mathematicians apology is, if read with the textual attention it deserves, a book of haunting sadness. Yes, it is witty and sharp with intellectual high spirits: yes, the crystalline clarity and candour are still there: yes, it is the testament of a creative artist. But it is also, in an understated stoical fashion, a passionate lament for creative powers that used to be and that will never come again. I know nothing like it in the language: partly because most people with the literary gift to express such a lament don't come to feel it: it is very rare for a writer to realise, with the finality of truth, that he is absolutely finished.The following quotation from A mathematicians apology ([5]) gives a clear idea of Hardy's thoughts on mathematics:-
The mathematician's patterns, like those of the painter's or the poet's, must be beautiful, the ideas, like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. There is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.By the time the war ended in 1945 Hardy's health was failing fast. He longed to be creative again, for that was all that really mattered to him in life, but he knew that his creativity was gone and that he became very depressed. By 1946 he could only get around by taking taxi rides, a few steps would make him short of breath. In early summer of 1947 he tried to take his own life by taking a large dose of barbiturates. He took so many, however, that he was sick and survived. Snow writes [6]:-
In the Evelyn nursing home, Hardy was lying in bed. As a touch of farce, he had a black eye. Vomiting from the drugs, he had hit his head on the lavatory basin. He was self-mocking. He had made a mess of it. ...Hardy received many honours for his work. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1910, he received the Royal Medal of the Society in 1920 and Sylvester Medal of the Society in 1940:-
He talked a little, nearly every time I saw him, about death. He wanted it. He didn't fear it: what was there to fear in nothingness? His hard intellectual stoicism had come back. He would not try to kill himself again. He was not good at it. He was prepared to wait. With an inconsistency which might have pained him - for he ... believed in the rational to an extent that I thought irrational - he showed an intense hypochondriac curiosity about his own symptoms.
... for his important contributions to many branches of pure mathematics.He also received the Copley Medal of the Royal Society in 1947:-
... for his distinguished part in the development of mathematical analysis in England during the last thirty years.Hardy learnt of the award only a few weeks before his death.
He is described in [3] as follows:-
He personified the popular idea of the absent-minded professor. But those who formed the idea that he was merely an absent-minded professor would receive a shock in conversation, where he displayed amazing vitality on every subject under the sun. ... He was interested in the game of chess, but was frankly puzzled by something in its nature which seemed to come into conflict with his mathematical principles.He was president of the London Mathematical Society from 1926 to 1928 and again from 1939 to 1941. He received the De Morgan Medal of the Society in 1929.

short and snappy
Left to me, I would have sent Vaalu or Thingya, both in Marathi, and strangely, both featuring a bull in rural Maharashtra. Rooted in our soil and culture, saying something far deeper than the surface truths, these movies would have provided a unique perspective on life in India, and yet remain universal in their appeal. Grounded and authentic, starless and stark, they are powerful examples of films that comprehend the milieu they tackle and do so with consummate style. Howcome we manage to get it wrong, year after year? What's the bet 'Taarey...' won't make the cut? I doubt it will even secure a nomination... forget about winning an Oscar. Unless of course Hollywood wants to further its business ties with Bollywood.... and it is one of 'those' decisions that's good for business... if not for cinema!

'PuliJanmam' in malayalam 'ParuthiVeeran' in tamil were a few movies i liked last year. But 'Taare Zameen Par' might have more effervescence to it. I hope Aamir makes us all proud.

This time I echo your thoughts. I also made a passing comment on my doubts of it being in top 5 here at http://blessed-curse.blogspot.com/2008/09/slipsliding-on-continuum.html.
Out of context, Have you seen 'Bacheha-Ye-Aseman', An Iranian movie, dubbed in English as 'Children of Heaven'?
- September 24, 2008 at 2:29 AM
Now Shobhaa, you really don't like Aamir, do you?:-)While I did have a few problems with TZP myself, it is not a bad film, De. The film is not great cinema as you say, but who says it has to be that to win an Oscar? C'mon, who are we kidding here? Have we forgotten Titanic already? I can provide you an exhaustive list of lousy films that have bagged the award. And lousy TZP certainly is not. That said, I will not be hazarding a guess as to whether it secures a nomination or not. But then that's because I do not really care much for any type or shape of awards. The real award or recognition so-to-speak comes from the audiences when a film connects with them on some level and TZP, if nothing else, did manage to do that.
By the way, Whose academy? What awards? After all, and paraphrasing Mira Nair here, these awards are mainly for Americans, celebrating 'their' cinema (barring a handful few), and voted by a large group of geriatrics!! So I won't want to loose my sleep over it.
P.S. I agree, both Thingyaa & Vaalu are very good films indeed and even better than TZP if you insist, but methinks they would NOT HAVE made the final cut either;-)

Very clever way to take out all anger against Aamir Khan.
Make an outrageous prediction by saying it wont even make it & end my saying if it does, its because of other reasons, so that if it does actually win, you don't get embarrassed.
Pathetic !!!

- Prash said...
I agree...
On the other hand, I was thinking what other film could India send to Oscar ? Well, you named two marathi movies...thks !
I think it would be wise for India to send movies which are not Bollywood and show the world wonderful non-bollywood block-buster movies to the world.

- Ugich Konitari said...
'Taarey Zameen Par' was a wonderful film. So were Valu and Tingya. So was Shwaas. earlier.
Oscars are not about earnest looking Academy members looking at films they never hear about, and whoever is capable of publicizing a film excellently between now and the awards, benefits.
Remember waht happened to Shwaas ? Did we see an outpouring of financial aid for publicizing the film?
This is a practical selection from a set of available good films.

interestingly - you've conveyed our thoughts on the matter pretty clearly - yet have flipped the coin and given answers for it landing either ways.....
Now - even if it does get to a respectable stage.... doubts will arise!
- September 24, 2008 at 12:00 PM
- Scattered Thoughts... said...
hah.. all said and done, do we really need to care for the damn Oscars. Every year they send some lousy movie for the nomination and every body goes Ga Ga for few days. The end result of course remains the same but who cares.. Even if they get an Oscar.. what is going to change? pigs will fly? Huh... can't understand the craze to get ourselves certified by them.. Just my perspective though..

- Varun said...
HahaHa... Too good. I felt Tahaan was a better movie than TZP. I love the column you write for TOI and I am glad to have found you in the blog world :)
- September 24, 2008 at 2:13 PM
M'am "De,
In isolation I can say Walt Disney's have already paved a way for TZP with buying the Home Video rights and releasing on 23rd July.
In your words if I may say " Billi ke Bhag chhenka phuta". Phuta to Phuta whichever way its all about MONEY HONEY!!

I really could not agree with you more. Sending a movie like TZP when Hollywood has seen brilliant movies like Rainman and a beautiful mind is absurd. TZP was ok as an introduction to dyslexia and it was a good family kind of movie maybe but it is going to be compared to the movies mentioned before. Hence, it isn't likely to be nominated (in my opinion i.e.)
P.S: I thought that your address in Christ University was very interesting. I would disagree with you on some issues you spoke about, but never the less...it was rather interesting.
- September 24, 2008 at 5:16 PM
ma'am good to read your blogs. hope you remember me...the poet from baroda who got introduced to you through your daughter, radhika. i still have mails written by you to me. anyways, happy blogging!

loved Taare Zameen Par... Par Par Par.. this is no oscar material. But yeah, if bahurani's Jeans could go, then any film can go to the oscars.
And tingya, vallu was not selected... why is Raj Tackray sleeping now.
damn Marathi cinema ! he will not speak up for a good film. But only about bachchan parivaar. Kyun Raj? Aapki Raj Mein yeh???
And no the selectors are not corrupt. PUN INTENDED.
Marathi cinema has come of age. Kadachit, Vallu, Tingya... parallelly, bengali cinema and malayalam is getting commercialized and slowly losing its sheen. Sad na, yeah, there are exceptions to teh point i have made. But overall this is the trend.aint it?
- September 24, 2008 at 5:38 PM
Pardon my cinemalese but I did actually think "TZP" was good cinema which came pretty much up there with other world cinema.
In my book it doesn't matter if we win at the Oscars or not - or at least, not just yet. For the most part Bollywood has given Indian cinema such a bad name that for starters, these South Mumbai ablutions we like calling Hindi films could (for a change) start to have plots, storylines and professional actors in them before we rally around global audiences of non Indian lineage to come watch us at the movies.
Tingya v. TZP : I'd go with Vallu. I think you may be right - both these Marathi films would appeal to an international jury more than a TZP would. At the end of the day with TZP as India's entry to the Oscars, at least, we won't feel we are short changing our country unlike the collective feeling we-all of us had with that shambolic 'Paheli'making it to the Oscars.
- September 24, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Methinks you are getting a bit carried away.....
PETA is trying to make it "oh-so-inappropriate" to wear fur.
If anyone is seen in fur,the most likely reaction is- how many animals did you kill for this jacket?
I think they have created awareness where none existed, and attached so much negativity to wearing fur that few celebs dare to wear it!
I say hats, nay, clothes off to them!!
Btw, I am NOT an animal lover...

Who gets to decide the movie that India sensd to Oscar?
The Oscar foreign film category is judged differently from Hollywood films and only serious artistic films have any chance of winning it.
My recommendation : The best movie chosen for National Award should represent India at Oscars
- September 28, 2008 at 8:20 PM
i didn't like taare zameen par much anyway, overrated...yes, the clown thing was, ugh, pissing off!! of course there were some parts where the music and visuals melded so that it would make your eyes well up, but 'eyes welling up' doesn't a good movie make!! overall, it was slow...and i didn't 'learn' anything new from it, showing people in a sympathetic light seems to be the only thing the oscar pickers seem to be going for...it's a boring set of years ahead....

Shobhaa your comment about Aamir is I think personal! You said Aamir is the most over-rated actor in Bollywood! I would like to know who is the Best Actor according to you.
Why do you even care of Aamir's entry in the movie if you are not impressed with him leave aside Darsheel's performance? It makes me laugh when you say it will win only if they want to do business with Bollywood. As someone said, Pathetic!
Think before you say stupid lady!! Who are you to comment on Good Cinema?

Valacyclovir works best if it is used within 48 hours after the first symptoms of shingles or genital herpes (e.g., pain, burning, or blisters) begin to appear. For recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes, valacyclovir works best if it is used within 24 hours after the symptoms begin to appear.
If you are taking valacyclovir for the treatment of chickenpox, it is best to start taking valacyclovir as soon as possible after the first sign of the chickenpox rash appears, usually within one day.
Valacyclovir may be taken with meals or on an empty stomach.
If you are using the oral suspension, use a specially marked measuring spoon or other device to measure each dose accurately. The average household teaspoon may not hold the right amount of liquid.
Drink extra fluids so you will pass more urine while you are using this medicine. This will keep your kidneys working well and help prevent kidney problems.
