Understanding Your Treatment Options For Varicose Veins
When you discover that you have unsightly and uncomfortable varicose veins, you may wonder if there is anything that you can do to help you deal with this newfound problem. What you may not know is that there are many different treatment options available to help you get rid of your varicose veins and the pain and discomfort that go along with them. Get to know some of these varicose vein treatment options so that you can get in contact with your physician and get the care and assistance that you need.
Sclerotherapy is a treatment for varicose veins that involves injecting a chemical solution into the affected vein or veins. When that special chemical solution is in the veins it causes damage to the vein that will cause it to close off and seal itself shut. This prevents blood from flowing through that vein anymore and will cause the vein to shrink in size (because no blood will be flowing through it).
This form of treatment is minimally invasive and can be done using a catheter and an ultrasound to get the solution into the affected veins. Because the catheter allows your doctor to precisely target problem veins, sclerotherapy may be useful on both small and larger varicose veins.
Endovenous Laser Treatment
Endovenous laser vein treatment is another form of varicose vein treatment that can be highly effective. A laser is concentrated light energy which means that it also has a high temperature. As such, this heat generated by the laser, can be used to treat varicose veins.
This procedure is also minimally invasive and uses a similar guiding catheter as sclerotherapy. However, once the catheter reaches the target varicose vein, the laser is funneled through that catheter. The heat energy burns the varicose vein creating scar tissue that closes the vein off. This is a very quick procedure and involves minimal healing time.
Adhesive Sealing
Perhaps the newest treatment available for varicose veins is the recently FDA-approved method of sealing the varicose veins off with a medical adhesive. This procedure also involves the use of a catheter.
When the catheter gets to the area of the vein that needs to be sealed off, the doctor will inject a liquid adhesive into the vein. Once in the body, the adhesive will set and harden creating a solid barrier that will block the blood from flowing into the vein.
Now that you know a few of the treatment options available to you for your varicose veins, you can meet with your doctor, such as at Elite Vein Centers, and discuss which treatment option sounds the best for you and your needs.

HEAT oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. COOK onion and garlic for 2 minutes, stirring often, or until beginning to soften. STIR in beans, salsa and cumin; reduce heat to medium-low. SIMMER bean mixture, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until warmed through and slightly thickened. REMOVE skillet from heat, stir in lime juice and cover to keep warm.
HEAT butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until just melted. POUR in eggs. As they begin to set, gently PULL them across the skillet with an inverted turner to form large soft curds. CONTINUE cooking eggs for 1 to 2 minutes – pulling, lifting and folding eggs – until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. (Do not stir constantly.)
FILL warm tortillas with equal amounts bean mixture and eggs. TOP filled tortillas evenly with cheese, guacamole and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Insider Info
Prepare recipe with flour tortillas if desired.
Substitute shredded Cheddar cheese for the Monterey Jack. For added heat, prepare recipe with shredded Jalapeno Jack or a Tex Mex or Mexican blend shredded cheese.
Lighten up. Cooking spray can be substituted for butter.
Avoid cast iron. Eggs scrambled in a cast iron skillet can turn a greenish shade. This harmless but unappealing color change is the result of a chemical reaction between iron in the pan and sulfur in egg whites.
Don't overcook. The heat retained in the pan will continue to cook and firm up the eggs after pan is removed from heat.

iPhone 3GS reaches end of the road in the UK?
It is a widespread belief that when September 12th rolls around, the next generation iPhone, which some call the iPhone 5, would have been announced already. Well, assuming that happens, it would also signal the end of the road for the aged iPhone 3GS, making the 8GB model of the iPhone 4 as the entry-level iPhone which in all probability, will be handed to customers for free on £20 monthly contracts, taking over where the iPhone 3GS left off.
There is also speculation that an 8GB iPhone 4S might just be introduced as well which would not sound all that out of this world. Well, everything here remains as speculation for the moment, so we will know for sure as we nudge slowly but surely towards the end of the second week of September. Would you miss the iPhone 3GS if it were removed? It remains to be seen whether other markets might follow suit when the new iPhone arrives.By Ubergizmo.

Strengthen for Service
The Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) has launched a new course for clergy, Readers and other lay worship leaders to give them more confidence in managing music in their parish churches.
Strengthen for Service, which will take place in mid-September in Salisbury, Wiltshire, is a three day course for those in training or in the early stages of their ministry. Rosemary Field, the RSCMs Head of Education explains more about the course, and why, in her view, it is necessary.
A recently licensed Reader is sitting in the study faced with a pile of hymn books, feeling somewhat bewildered. The Vicar who usually looks after the choosing of hymns is away, so guess who has to do it? This is not an uncommon situation for those who are new to the job. Many people who lead worship and choose the music for it have not had the opportunity to study issues of music and liturgy in depth during their theological training. That isnt a criticism; the timetable is packed with Biblical Studies, Pastoral Studies, Hebrew, Apologetics, Ethics and more - so there isnt room for much Music and Liturgy. At the RSCM we feel that we can help by offering a beginners guide for newly ordained clergy and Readers. The first of these crash courses is designed particularly for Anglicans, and will help those who might later be faced with the task of supporting and possibly running a music team.
During the course we will explore a wide range of relevant topics such as recruiting musicians, and the different forms of music from plainsong at one end of the musical spectrum to worship songs at the other. We will also be preparing a Timeline of Musical History, to help avoid any clunkiness in the planning process. There will be some practical sessions, but this course is not primarily about learning how to sing - the emphasis here is on helping participants to make good musical choices, along with the business of managing and facilitating a churchs music. That point made, we can give help with singing if anyone needs it! Other management issues such as safeguarding and copyright will also be covered and there will be clinics to address specific issues and questions brought by participants.
We have a fantastic musical heritage stretching back over two millennia, and using it effectively for church services is a vital element in inspiring, uplifting and moving all those involved. This course will help those taking the lid off the many developments in musical styles and traditions down the centuries.
Support for the new course has come from the Rt Revd Nicholas Holtam, the Bishop of Salisbury, who is a Vice President of the RSCM. St Augustine of Hippo said that when we sing we pray twice. Music and worship go together, he said. Music is often the key to the culture and style of worship which is the core of all Church life. The RSCM has tremendous expertise in helping clergy and worship leaders gain confidence and knowledge in this area. Worship done well strengthens us all and is the most compelling ministry and mission.
Strengthen for Service will take place from 16th 18th September at Sarum College, which just happens to be the home of the RSCMs administrative centre. With the college just a stones throw from the cathedral and within the walls of the cathedral close, this is a beautiful setting in which to start learning about the practicalities of leading a musical tradition. There will be opportunities to take part in worship in the college chapel and in the cathedral.
For more information about the course and booking information go to the RSCM website, where you can see a short video about the course. Alternatively email or telephone.

text: Something that seems to be missing in the dozens of autopilot threads that are metastasizing all over the forum is feedback on the climate control system updates. Like others, I had been disappointed in the the HVAC compared to other (older, cheaper) cars I'd owned. I generally resorted to lowering the temp setting to about 64 or just manually adjusting fan speed which is tedious. With 7.0, it's now become pretty much "set and forget." I just leave the thermostat where I want it and it works. This is progress Admittedly, weather has been milder than the middle of summer, but I'm very pleased

As a child in a communist country, one of the particular locations that helped me to find out my way through a forest of block buildings looking similarly was a movie theater called Cosmos. There it was the place where the big kids were going to watch Indian Romantic movies I was not allowed to go to. It seems that I was not the only one with a Cosmos movie theater in my life as very close to the Iron Curtain, in the DDR, Kosmos was DDR's first 'kino'. After the fall of communism, it was used for a while as a multiplex, but apparently there were not too many on the Karl Marx Allee eager to spend too much time there. Now, Kosmos could be rented for capitalist men and women interested in sharing ideas about IT and the mobile industry. This week, it was the location of two days of intensive networking and workshops, on the occasion of the BITKOM Congress. Times change, Kosmos changes only the destination and continues to be located on the same historical Karl-Marx Allee.

Searching for a job in the Mercedes Benz show room
If you want to organize an event in Berlin, with a limited budget, you have plenty of opportunities, for less than 1,000 Euro. New office spaces are created or rebranded from scratch and at least for a while, you can take the opportunity to be part of the realtors' plans to advertise their location almost for free. Sooner, they will ask more and more money, but one of the predominant feature of a real Berliner is to do not care too much about tomorrow.
Over one week ago, I've been at a Job Fair - Job Messe, organized at Mercedes Benz showroom in Moabit. I've heard about the location only a couple of days before and went there for the first time. For me, it was the most impressive job hunting I ever attended. Not only the numbers of participants was huge, but most of them were really impressed to head hunt and to be head hunted. If I would have look for a job, I have had a lot of work to do. Instead, I took the occasion of the free entrance, of the photo opportunities and of the possibility of working while taking pictures. The networking was better than ever before - and the visual experience equally interesting. Even I will never drive a Mercedes Benz, I appreciated the opportunity and I am happy to share it with my readers.

Colors and words in Moabit
I don't go too often in Moabit, although I don't live too far away of the area. Last week, being around with various businesses, but on a Sunday day, I had some time to look around and discover some nice places that seem to be perfectly in line with autumn. I can hardly imagine admiring those streets in early summer.

Winter feeling around Potsdamer Platz
Winter is not officially here, but I feel the cold getting worse and more warm clothing are needed. I visited Potsdamer Platz last week, around 11.00 and the sky was grey. Honestly, did not see a serious ray of light for a couple of weeks. The snow slope is ready and the winter fairs were already open, even though it is more than one month before the holiday season is officially open. At that time of the day, there were not too many people around, but most probably during the weekend and late in the evening, the tourists will be tempted to have their hot wine and their currywurst in one of the most elegant corners of the city - to be read where money is made.
As usual, I am fascinated by the combination of kitsch and innovation that this city can display. Nothing has to do with style here, but with the aggressive freedom of doing what you want to, even it means to shock visually the sophisticated European eyes. A kind of small America in the middle of Europe.

Remember 9. November
Today is a day of memory for all those killed during the Kristallnacht and after. For all those 6 millions, many of them without a grave and without any other guilt that they were born Jews. We should remember day after day what do we stand for and why we should never forget.
זכר קדוש לברכה
Yesterday, I visited with a friend the Information Center from the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. I did not visit the center before. The entrance is free, and after waiting in line for a couple of minutes and going through a basic security checking, you can enter the small underground museum. There are a lot of pictures from personal archives or from Yad Vashem, as well as from the German state archives. Audio-guides will tell you the story of some of the victims and will explain more about the context and the the facts. There were most tourists, but also some German teenagers and the place was pretty crowded, even if it was Thursday afternoon. As I will always say, it is never enough to remember what happened. In a cruel world as ours, when the Internet is crying hate and anti-Semitism. I wish that more people visiting such exhibitions and watching the terrific pictures and testimonies are strongly moved and feel the shock.

Autumn at the American Academy
As everyone on and outside the web is busy discussing about the results of the US elections - I missed last nigh party in town, I know - I will post some pictures I took a couple of months ago at the American Academy in Berlin. The debate and the results were watched there too, in a very high class ambiance that you can usually find in some sophisticated corners of Washington DC. The place is lovely, there is a perfect retreat that many American writers enjoyed lately. Among them, Nathan Englander, Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss - just to refer to my favorites visitors of Berlin in the last years. Besides supporting the personalities from the world of literature, the American Academy offers regularly fellowships to political scientists and international relations experts that are looking for a quiet place to write down their new books. The library is rich and the ambiance is very inspiring, whatever your domain of study is.
Here are a couple of snapshots took while being present at a discussion of Nathan Englander's latest book.

Memories of the summer
Once upon a time, it used to be summer. And the days were longer. And it was so much green around...that I would have been happy to lay on a couch of grass with a good book and a cup of fresh coffee...Gone are the days. At least it is so much work to keep me distracted from depressive winter thoughts...

Mini Journal. 3 1/2 x 5 1/2
The picture above is the first page in this journal and I was in a wonky mood so it is diagonal on the page. This is the journal I keep in my purse to doodle in when I am waiting to pick up the kids. Some of the pages I did on a trip, I had my watercolor pencils and a few other things with me to play with. The fifth picture below is the last page of the journal. I drew a wonky picture on it too. Now all I have to do is fill up the middle.
I have made quite a few journals of different types. This blog is where I will post pages as I finish them from assorted journals. I don't work systematically through most of them.

Double Harvest.
Sowing Seeds of Life.
—By Jane VanWingerden
A young woman sets up her little stand: a simple blanket on the dusty ground and a crate of mangoes. Then she waits. She waits in the sweltering heat as noisy traffic from all directions whizz by: vehicles crammed with malnourished animals and people. The street where she sits is crowded with others like her, amid massive heaps of trash and crude half built structures. Then as evening approaches, whether she sells anything or not, she packs up to do it all over again the next day.
There is no thought of the future, only if she will get to feed her children that day. But she is lucky; most Haitians don't have a trade at all. The economy is in poor condition and the Haitian government's interest in the lower class is nonexistent. Treeless slopes and severe erosion across the entire country tell observers the obvious: Haiti has suffered greatly from environmental abuse. It has no natural resources. Such is the state for many impoverished countries.
The Beginnings.
The late Aart VanWingerden (Art and Ken VanWingerden's father) visited many developing countries where he saw a great need to improve the agriculture production and to build local economies. He started the first "Double Harvest" agricultural project in Indonesia in 1968 and ten years later he visited Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere. It would soon be the next Double Harvest location. Many poor farmers in Haiti, like the woman selling on the street, are forced into crowded cities because production on their lands is so low and because food imports are so cheap. Other rural citizens (60-80% of Haiti's people are farmers) come to Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, to work their days in sweat shops.
Why Start A Mission?
Aart arrived on US soil in 1948 as an immigrant from Holland with an incredible business acumen in agriculture. Everything his hands touched prospered. Each time his latest project was on its feet, he would pass it along to one of his 16 children to continue and make a profit. As a strong Christian, Aart always gave credit to God who had blessed him with his knowledge and affluence. Success led to success. More than once Aart was reminded of the Biblical parable of the rich man whose land produced abundantly; yet this rich man kept his wealth for himself in order to take the rest of life "easy", "But God said to him, 'you fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God." (Luke 12:20-21)
Propelled by this passage, Aart used his business and agricultural knowledge to found "Double Harvest." As the name reflects, Double Harvest's purpose is two-fold: to serve and minister to those in developing countries both physically and spiritually.
How It Works.
Double Harvest is designed with a business-like approach. The goal is to make the organization self-sustaining and to create jobs that give people the skills and abilities to sustain themselves. This is accomplished by employing locals and by using modern farming techniques. In addition, growing and selling locally grown food (as opposed to importing from other countries) aids the economy.
Today Double Harvest Haiti is a 200-acre mission with a 500 student school, a medical/surgical clinic, a church, a tilapia farm, a chicken farm, and of course, a greenhouse.
Double Harvest and ColorPoint.
Jane: Women's Ministry "In early March, I went to Double Harvest Haiti for the first time to specifically minister to the women in the surrounding churches. Despite efforts around the world to empower women in developing countries, many women are still devalued and treated as inferior to men. At Double Harvest, where women are employed and appreciated for their work, their value goes much deeper than employment. They are loved and cherished by God who created them equal to men.
In keeping with Double Harvest's mission, meeting physical and spiritual needs, the ladies were offered a food and hygiene bag after hearing the gospel message and salvation testimonies from the ladies on the ministry team." —Jane VanWingerden
Brad: Wireless Technology "I have helped with a number of projects, but certainly the bulk of my work at DHH has been setting up wireless infrastructure and Internet connectivity. Among the MANY obstacles in Haiti, we were having lots of trouble with rats eating through network cables. So, one of the benefits of moving things to a more wireless-centric environment is there are far fewer cables to worry about. Connectivity at the DH mission property allows the visiting medical teams to access critical resources, provides better communication between the resident staff and their stateside counterparts, allows us to monitor various aspects of the work, and helps with the general morale of the staff and guests." —Brad Slattery
Lenny, Damian, and Terry: Building Homes "Over half the Haitian people call mud, straw, and tin shacks with dirt floors their homes. Haitians do not live in their homes; they only sleep in them. They even cook outside. Most will never experience running water, a flushing toilet, electricity, or AC. Before the devastating 2010 earthquake, Lenny VanWingerden, Damian Kostellic, and Terry Wilson organized the building of "dome" homes in the villages surrounding Double Harvest. Although the homes themselves were inexpensive and could withstand harsh conditions, it was too expensive to run power for the three days required to build the homes. A second trip, which included Leroy Winchel, was made to build more homes, but this time with a different model made of concrete. Again, the Haitians were taught how to build the homes. All of these homes, along with other homes built by Double Harvest, were able to withstand the 2010 earthquake and provide adequate shelter for families."—Lenny VanWingerden

Once upon a time … an odd task force got to work. A giant and a witch. Mission: to drag and drop the Faroe Islands close to Iceland. An undertaking that turned out to be far more difficult than expected. Even though the giant and the witch reached the Faroe Islands' north-westernmost mountain Eiðiskollur, they didn't manage to put their heavy rope in place.
It's not just that they acted clumsily. They also didn't realize that another noose was slowly tightening on them. No man can avoid his destiny. Apparently, the same applies to legendary figures. And so the inevitable happened: At the rising of the sun, the unlucky fellows turned into stone. Ever since then, all sorts of people keep staring at the giant and the witch, mostly from the village of Tjørnuvík and an observation point close to Eiði.
Video: My Faroe Islands proudly presents the giant and the witch as seen from the ocean. Close-up. Only then you get an adequate idea of dimensions. Giant approximately 71, witch 69 and Eiðiskollur 340+ meters. Entirely possible, that the giant and the witch will come down one day, in consequence of some severe winter storm. Up till then, they will be here waiting for you. Legend-reteller-word-of-honor.

Welcome to ConductorSchool.com
The animated conducting gestures were created by the Department of Media and Technology, University of Saskatchewan. This swinging motion is called Shakui (Shah-kwee). It is classified as an Into-Point motion because the baton accelerates into the beat point. By varying the rate of acceleration a conductor can show the articulation and dynamic of the sound. Note that in these animations the
of the acceleration in the before-Point motion is the same as that of the deceleration in the after-Point motion for each of the three tempi. It is more usual to have the rate of accleration be faster than the rate of deceleration.

For those following along, those on the extreme far right of the Republican party have been trying, and in many, many cases succeeding, at taking away the health care rights of women for the better part of the last two years. This has mainly been happening on the state level (Arizona, North Carolina, Mississippi, Virginia to name a mere handful), but nationally the US House of Representatives has been trying to defund Planned Parenthood even though it is the number one provider of reproductive health care services to women and families. It should be noted that most of these laws start with taking away choice rights, mainly by making laws that make it illegal for doctors to perform abortions, or to force women to watch ultrasounds before the procedure. Most of these ultrasounds are stipulated to be "transvaginal" which is a clinical term for when they stick an ultrasound rod inside of your vagina to get the pictures. That's not invasive or stressful at all.
This week the women state representatives of Michigan were the latest to fight these extremists, with a taste of their own medicine. A new bill restricting abortion providers ad nauseum was up for debate and vote, so the women, per procedure added amendments to the bill. Representative Barb Byrum proposed an amendment that would require proof of a medical emergency prior to a doctor performing a vasectomy, which you know, only happens on penises. Her sister-in-arms, Representative Lisa Brown said during debate, ""I'm flattered you're all so concerned about my vagina. But no means no." For their trouble, they were gaveled down by the speaker. Sorry ladies, you're upsetting the men folk with talk of your parts. But please, show us your tits!
Here's how I know ALL women are over it. Fox anchor and stalwart right-wing mouthpiece Gretchen Carlson, however half-laughing, WALKED OFF THE SET OF FOX AND FRIENDS this morning after being fed up with women-bashing, sexist jokes. Although I hate it when Gretchen plays dumb (she is a Stanford grad, Miss America 1989 AND plays the violin), she was all smarts this morning.
Bottom line: the point has tipped. Watch out extremists. Not only will you soon be enjoying less vagina for your penises, you will soon be out of jobs.

The Federal Reserve released the minutes from its March meeting before the opening bell Wednesday morning, hours earlier than planned after the news was inadvertently sent to Capitol Hill staffers at some point Tuesday.
The biggest news out of the release was the possibility that the central bank could start paring back its quantitative easing efforts by the summertime, and not necessarily because the economic recovery has firmed up.
Minutes from the March 19-20 policy meeting reinforced comments from recent statements out of the Fed that extraordinary monetary policy will remain necessary until substantial improvement in the economy, but also showed increasing vigilance on just how big of an impact the central bank's asset purchases are having.
Members of the Federal Open Market Committee led by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke chose to make no changes to the monthly purchases of $85 billion in Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, but generally agreed that changes to the program must be considered in light of "both labor market and inflation developments and of the efficacy and costs of asset purchases."
At least some members are starting to show concerns on the latter point. From the minutes:
A few members felt that the risks and costs of purchases, along with the improved outlook since last fall, would likely make a reduction in the pace of purchases appropriate around midyear, with purchases ending later this year.
One member felt the pace of purchases should be slowed immediately given the cost-benefit analysis, but still other FOMC members expressed a more optimistic take, that an improving outlook for labor market conditions would make it appropriate "to slow purchases later in the year-end and to stop them by year-end."
Even for all the debate, there is little evidence to suggest any risk of an imminent slowdown in the asset purchases without a commensurate improvement in economic conditions. The minutes are from a meeting prior to the April 5 nonfarm payrolls report, which showed U.S. employers added a paltry 88,000 jobs in March. While that figure could be revised higher next month – both the January and February figures were bumped north in the report – it raised concerns that the trajectory of the economic recovery may be flattening out, which would almost assuredly the Fed from hitting the brakes on its stimulus.
The market retreated from pre-market highs after the release of the minutes but quickly recovered, with Dow Jones industrial futures up 43 points and S&P 500 futures 5 points higher.

An audience award winner at 2010's Sundance Film festival, Undertow (Contracorriente, in Spanish) is the feature length directorial debut from Peruvian filmmaker Javier Fuentes-León. Lusciously shot in Peru's Cabo Blanco fishing village, it's a magic realism love triangle fable, tugging a little too hard on your heartstrings.
It's the story of Miguel (played by Cristian Mercado), a young fisherman living with his heavily pregnant wife Mariela (Tatiana Astengo). The picture-perfect couple, Miguel leads a second life as the lover to the village's token, openly gay man, painter Santiago (Manolo Cardona). With the families newest arrival soon approaching, plus a fatal sea accident with ghostly consequences, Miguel goes through turmoil; losing grip on reality as he attempts to live two conflicting lives.
Far from being just another Brokeback Mountain, gay cash-in film, what is most thought-provoking in this sensitive romance drama is the stories' incongruity to the setting. Although Peru is presented as a small paradise, homosexuality is still regarded as taboo; making Miguel's struggle with polyamory and piety all the more sympathetic.
Some overtly poetic imagery and excessive use of underwater shooting aside, Undertow lives comfortably in it's 100 minute running time. The naturalistic, affecting performances from it's three main players make for a powerful, sea-breezily paced movie.
IMDb it
PS – If anyone feels like taking me on an all-expenses-paid holiday to Cabo Blancho I'll willingly accept. I'm free from the 3rd of always.

Picking up the check
I used to work for a large, international auditing and consulting firm for two years. Originally I was based in DC, but the powers that be decided to send me around to Sacramento, Houston, and then back to the home office. Eventually my work load got less and less, and I was constantly "on the bench." My performance reviews mentioned my low metrics and deliverables which was funny as I can't produce them if I'm not staffed. The first wave of cost cutting came in the form of paper down grading such as napkins, toilet paper, and printer paper.
We got an email from National indicating layoffs would occur. I was nervous, but felt somewhat secure. Out of the blue I get an email from a project manager wanting to meet me about a potential project he thinks suits my skills well. We get talking over lunch, he tells me about the project, I tell him about my experience, and I felt excited that I'd be doing "work" again as opposed to spending my days driving around the country side and sleeping in. So the check comes and he insists on paying saying, "you really should be saving your money." When I got back to the office 20 minutes later, I had received a signed letter notifying of my termination. The manager I had lunch with, was one of the signees.

SDH 185: Why the She Did It Her Way Summit & What to Expect, solocast with Amanda Boleyn
Who is the summit for:
If you've ever wanted to start your own business but not sure where to start or let alone afraid and overwhelmed
Maybe you recently launched your business (and could be a side hustle) but uncertain if you're doing all the right things to make it sustainable
What you'll get out of it:
Confidence. And I don't just say that to say that. If you think about fear and what inspires fear it is usually the unknown. So if we can get familiar and educate ourselves on steps and processes to go about launching a business, I promise you it will be less scary and you'll have the confidence to take action.
Curated coaching circles. When you purchase your ticket you'll receive a survey that will take roughly 20 minutes to fill out but what it'll help us do on the back end is make sure we select coaches that will add value to you and your questions.
Speaking of coaches and speakers, all coaches and speakers have been hand picked for the summit. The reason why I did this instead of a call for speakers is because I've seen these women speak before and I know the value of content they deliver. I had specific requirements for them to fulfill. I wanted them to be able to deliver a workshop styled engagement, where it would be interactive and you as an attendee would actually put pen to paper vs. listening to someone speak for 45 minutes. I'm a firm believer in the doing in order to build confidence. I also know that these women have built their own sustainable business practice as well.
Topics include:
Finding your sweet spot - uncovering what truly lights you up and to let that guide you in your business that produces profits
Understanding the basics of marketing - who are you going after, who's your ideal client, getting niched
Sales - understanding how to position your offering in a way that gets potential customers to convert
Power of Connecting - how to strategically and intentionally connect with others during events that will influence revenue
Accounting - what can be deducted, how to organize and what systems to use
Pricing - how to price your product or service to ensure there's built in profit
Operations - maybe what some might consider the non sexy stuff - types of insurance you should have as a business owner (health and disability) and retirement options
Systems - all about hacking and organizing yourself to be productive and get stuff done
Goal setting - putting a nice bow on it at the end
Curated coaching circles - interacting in small groups with women who have launched their own business
Actual concrete steps and learnings. I've been to many events (including ones I was a part of) where the event itself didn't have a strong purpose, we filled speaker slots for the sake of filling speaker slots. This summit is specifically designed with you as the attendee in mind.
Goal setting. Before we even get started and our first speaker, we're going to take some time to reflect on why you're at the summit, what brought you here and what you're looking to get out of the day. Then before we wrap up we're going to take time to map out immediate goals, 90 day goals and we're going to dream about what life will look like in the next 1-3 years.
And I mean, how can you have an event without a sweet swag bag? It will be loaded with products made by female founders.
When I first stepped out, took the leap, quit my job I was 24 years old. Even though at the time I thought I had it "figured out" it hindsight I had no clue what I was doing. Haha I suppose that must have been my ego talking ;) When I was still working in corporate America I only knew a few people who worked for themselves and while I am so grateful for their inspiration and guidance that I had, it didn't provide structure or a game plan when I did take the leap. I had no goals, no understanding of business banking, how to track expenses, no one asking tough questions to help me flesh through what I wanted. I built the plane as I flew it. And while that is part of entrepreneurship, the other part is seeking out mentorship, guidance and a plan.
What took me years to figure out, I want to serve that up to you in one day. So you can build and create faster and more sustainably.
I also know that launching a business can be scary and even scarier if you're leaving a job that provides you a steady income. My desire is to have you know that you're not alone and provide confidence in yourself to continue doing great things.
When I first shared with some folks the idea of an in person summit, they asked why not an online course or a virtual summit? And I got to say that in the world of technology and ability to be "online" so easily, actually meeting someone in person is a loss artform and I want to bring that back. Plus, I enjoy meeting people in real life :)
Saturday, October 21st - one-day
Friday, October 20th - Welcome kick-off, early check-in
8 speakers
Curated coaching circles
Action plan
A supportive community of women
Space is limited to help ensure that attendees get the most out of their time, energy and resources :)

California voters oppose new vote on gay marriage, poll finds
LOS ANGELES — A small majority of California voters supports the right of gay couples to marry, but a much larger portion of voters opposes efforts to place the issue back on the ballot in 2010, a new Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California poll has found.
Views on same-sex marriage were sharply polarized based on political party, with 66 percent of Democrats thinking it should be legal and 71 percent of Republicans in opposition.
Nonpartisan voters were less enthusiastic than Democrats, but still backed it, 59 percent to 34 percent.
Overall, 51 percent of California voters favored marriage rights for same-sex couples and 43 percent were opposed. However, almost 60 percent of Californians did not want to revisit the issue in 2010, just one election cycle after it last hit the ballot.
In November 2008, Californians voted 52 percent to 48 percent to limit marriage rights to one man and one woman. Same-sex marriage advocates have been split over whether to push for a new vote next year or wait until 2012, when the presidential contest will draw more voters to the polls than would be expected to cast ballots in next year's midterm elections.
Supporters of gay marriage are also strategizing in other states but on Tuesday received a stinging rebuke when voters in Maine repealed a state measure that had granted marriage rights to same-sex couples.
The California findings come from a new Los Angeles Times/USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences poll. The survey, which interviewed 1,500 registered voters from Oct. 27 through Nov. 3, was conducted for the Times and USC by two national polling companies, the Democratic company of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, and the Republican company Public Opinion Strategies. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.
The survey showed that same-sex marriage continues to reverberate differently along race and generational lines. Just over half of whites backed it, while just under half of blacks and Latinos did.
All three groups, however, opposed having to vote on it in 2010. Asians were questioned by the poll and included in the overall sample, but their numbers were statistically too small to isolate. Young voters continued to be far more supportive of gay marriage than their elders.
Among those 18 to 29, 71 percent said they supported same-sex marriage; among those 65 and older, only 37 percent favored it. Younger voters were also one of the few groups who backed putting it on the 2010 ballot, which will be dominated by the races for governor and the U.S. Senate.
The difference in views by age likely explains, in part, the changing results in California on same-sex marriage. In 2000, voters outlawed it by a margin of 61 percent to 39 percent; by last November's ballot, opposition had slipped significantly.
Election results differ from poll results, of course, because not everyone polled will cast a ballot.

Here is a photo recap of what I did to celebrate. Let's face it photos are more fun then me boring you with the details.
Dinner at Bar Lola with my favorite things - sangria and good girlfriends!!! Thanks to Emily M, Lynne, Noelle, Katelyn, Missy, Kate and Emily W for celebrating with me and treating me to dinner!
Blueberry ravioli tapas. . .
Amazing birthday dessert. . .
Annual "bunny photo" day with my nieces which is one of my favorite traditions (professional photos to come soon). . .
More family time with my SIL and mom for her church women's group brunch. . .
Finally saw the movie Frozen with its biggest fan, Ella. She knows every word and told me "this is my favorite part" about 5 times!
Neely watched with us too but every time I stopped patting her she got bored and would be bad and take one of my mom's Easter decorations in her mouth. I had to keep taking them from her! That is the collection she brought me. Ha!
Family Dinner/Favorite Meal (I always request chicken casserole and a Carvel ice cream cake).
Presents! I got some money which is going towards my Italy vacation. I also got a few necklaces. Top one is from my mom (she got it at a craft fair in FL), middle one is my "necklace club" necklace from Caroline G. and bottom one is a gift from Kate and Emily from Lou Lou. I can't wait to wear them!
Thank you to everyone for the birthday cards, emails, FB messages, etc. It really makes a girl feel loved! Oh and I don't feel a day over 28! Ha!
P.S. I had been on antibiotics over 48 hours by the time I did all this stuff. I was so sick for the first 2 days of strep but then SO much better once the meds kicked in. Thankfully I was still able to have a wonderful birthday weekend!!!!

Well, now that I've seen the company I will be working at soon has recently been dugg and is also presenting at DEMO 07 within the next couple of days, it seems like a good time to announce that I'm spending my last days as an Acxiom employee and joining a startup called Me.dium.
I feel like I've been in my current position for a long time as most of my tenure here was spent in startup mode until our little but quickly growing company (with a quite a number of name changes through it's history) was eventually acquired by Acxiom last Summer. It's had its ups and downs over the years as all positions do, but overall it's been a positive experience. It does feel a little strange to be moving on, but it is for all of the right reasons. I've been here for just a bit over 4 years now and have seen, experienced, and learned many things, but it's time for a new challenge.
On the contrary, I'm very excited to be joining a very smart group of people at Me.dium in beautiful Boulder, CO as a Java Developer. While I'm certainly used to working on and being responsible for applications on big systems with lots of servers at this point, I'm excited to be extending myself into a whole new area of distributed computing which is something I've had an academic interest in for awhile. On a side note, I actually already worked in part of the same office space many years ago at company called Tesser when I still lived in Boulder.
While I haven't had a chance to meet and get to know the whole team yet, it does seem to have all of the right pieces to possibly grow into something very big. I definitely have plenty to learn and I'm eager for the challenge. At the same time I hopefully have plenty to bring to the team as well.
I find that it's kind of difficult to describe Me.dium in a short summary, but there are several other places where you can read about it and do a much better job than I would to explain it:
- Remember The Name Me.dium
- Me.dium – Social discovery in real time
- Demo of Me.dium.com, follow your friends around Web – Scoble interviews Me.dium CEO, Kimbal Musk
If you'd like to check out the software and see what it's all about, use this invite link and you'll automatically be added as my friend when you sign-up and install the software. It's currently Firefox only (and works on any OS that runs Firefox), but it does sound like there is an IE version coming soon. A good part of the power of the product lies in your friends list, so I'd highly recommend inviting some of your friends to check it out once you've signed-up.
While the current version is quite impressive, its only a skeleton of things to come– I'm very excited to join and be part of the team building this product!
PS– After being dugg and also getting ready for DEMO, I think they were overwhelmed with traffic just a little bit earlier than they expected, so you might want to give the service a day or two while they finish rolling in more servers.

In Washington, D.C., commuters don't just rely on private cars or trains. They can also go "slugging" - also known as casual carpooling or dynamic ride-sharing.
The Washington Post writes about Dave LeBlanc, a defense contractor, who runs D.C.'s only slugging Web site, Slug-Lines.com, a community forum dedicated to those who take, or offer, free rides for commuters traveling by car to and from Washington's outer suburbs to Crystal City, Rosslyn, the Pentagon and the District. It describes itself as "not a government sponsored commuter program, but one created out of ingenuity from local citizens to solve commuter problems."
Slugging is a Washington-area tradition dating back to the mid-1970s, when high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes were constructed on interstates 95 and 395 to combat soaring gas prices. For decades, only one formal slugging location was used - in Springfield, next to Bob's Big Boy restaurant at Bland Street and Old Keene Mill Road. But as traffic worsened across Northern Virginia, so too did the number of slugging locations. Today, there are at least 18 slug routes in the Virginia suburbs, serving thousands of daily commuters.
Slug line systems have also cropped up in traffic-clogged sections of Dallas-Fort Worth and San Francisco. A July symposium in Arlington County looked at ways to expand slugging in the D.C. area, and federal transportation officials are studying the phenomenon to see if pilot projects in other cities could help alleviate congestion.
The HOV lanes that gave rise to slugging were a direct result of the Arab oil crisis. Governments realized they could reduce gasoline consumption and improve the environment at the same time. For sluggers, who exchange no money while sharing rides, the practice is a win-win: drivers can get where they're going faster, commuters get a free ride.
The term itself derives from the way that prospective ride-sharers would often confuse bus drivers, who would sometimes stop for them thinking they wanted a bus ride. "Slug" was a term used for counterfeit coins, but the drivers began applying the term to the ride-sharers, who weren't bus riders or even "real" car poolers in the usual sense of the word.
It's awesome what communities can do to improve transit on their own, even without smart phones. How much could the addition of phones or other technologies help an established network like this one?

Pin-Ups meet Pop Art
The concept of Pin-Up PopArt mixes the classic Pin-Up models and poses with modern but also classic PopArt. There are 7 Editions of the famous Pin-Up PopArt Series: London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Chicago, Moskau, Tokio, which vary from eachother in different colors, style and poses of the models.
Created by Paul John Ballard
Each edition is a selection of 7 sections. 1 Square and 6 departments. The square is surrounded by its departments.
Usually 3 departments to the left and 3 departments to the right. Each department stands for a city district. Two single departments fit together like their positions on the real map.
With the Pin-Up PopArt Series artist Paul John Ballard created a modern and inspiring art which combines classic erotic nude and puristic architecture with the bright colors of contemporary PopArt.

Watching "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story" last night was a like flipping through my junior high and high school yearbooks. The clothes, hairstyles and of course, the music had me singing Minnie Riperton's "Memory Lane." The VH1 biopic's recreation of video shoots for hits like TLC's "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg," "Creep" or "Waterfalls" mirrored the originals (Side note: I remember when my mother told me what the reference "paddywagon" meant from "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg." Yuck, mom! LOL). The movie drew 4.5 million viewers, becoming VH1's highest-ranking original movie ever, according to "Deadline Hollywood." The cast also did a better job than some worried fans expected. KeKe Palmer, Drew Sidora and Naitia Jessica "Lil Mama" Kirkland, who portrayed Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, respectively, performed well. While all three actresses convincingly transformed for the movie, Lil Mama was a personal standout. She really channeled Left Eye – her voice, persona and physical appearance (the hairstyles, particularly). Actually all of their hairstyles were on point, from Rochelle Aytes, who starred as their former manager Perri "Pebbles" Reid, to Sidora's T-Boz. Even Chilli's infamous baby hairs (there's a 3-year-old Twitter account called @ChillisBabyHair) showed up and had Twitter abuzz, with "baby hair" reportedly becoming a trending topic. All fun aside, the movie also shows that these girls had it rough and it doesn't seem that they really enjoyed their stardom. From the beginning, when Pebbles eyed T-Boz and Left Eye, it seems that for every high, there were two low blows. In some ways, it was kind of sad. I have listed a few other highlights from the movie to support this point.
-Chilli had it bad for Grammy Award-winning songwriter-producer Dallas Austin (he's sexy, I get it) though he continuously disrespected her by lying and cheating. At age 20 she had an abortion after he impregnated her right when TLC's career was taking off. She regretted that decision and the couple eventually separated but not before welcoming a son in 1997.
-Most of us had heard that Pebbles, LaFace Records co-founder Antonio "L.A." Reid's ex-wife, shaded the trio regarding that shoddy recording contract they signed that eventually led them to file for bankruptcy. But from Twitter reactions, no one knew that she was a mix of Ike Turner and Joe Jackson in heels, as revealed in the biopic. She overworked them to hunger and near exhaustion. Essentially, she's portrayed as a materialistic, manipulative dictator who was more concerned with being laced in the finest rather than making sure the girls were able to properly care for themselves (She eluded to suing via Twitter last week.).
-I was unaware of the extent of Left Eye's alcoholism. It was an issue early on, seemingly fueled by the death of her strict and abusive father, and spiraled out of control. This habit fueled incidents like burning down ex-boyfriend and former NFLer Andre Rison's mansion. She did seem to have more serenity toward the end of her life and that's a good thing.
Chilli and T-Boz on new female artists and teaching "The Talk" co-hosts their famed dance moves

Here's what else is poppin'…
Revolt TV is live and in full effect! I watched the debut countdown online (very convenient) and smiled, like I did with the TLC biopic, when the first video was Notorious B.I.G.'s 1994 hit "Juicy." The network's birth was filmed on the stoop of Biggie's childhood home. in Brooklyn. "Revolt is about changing the game," Founder Sean "Diddy" Combs told former MTV VJ LaLa Anthony who served as the evening's host. We shall see, Mr. Combs! In other music news … People said it wouldn't be done but it looks like Kanye West will wife Kim Kardashian after all. The "Yeezus" rapper surprised his girlfriend with a 15-carat diamond engagement ring on her 33rd birthday. These two seem made for each other and with 4-month-old North West, this may be the best decision for their family. Read more here. Speaking of babies and reasons to smile, you definitely want to check out Evonne and Deon Derrico's recent visit to "The View." This loving couple went from having four to nine children in a day when Evonne gave birth to quintuplets. They didn't use any fertility treatment as multiples run in their family (they already have a set of twin sons). They were completely surprised by this but have the love and support of family, friends and strangers touched by their story. Evonne displayed a flat tummy and taut body, showing no signs of having one child let alone nine. Work it, Mrs. Derrico! Check out this beautiful family here.
On my watchlist tonight? What I'm tuning in to see and what I'll catch up with XFINITY On Demand with…
"The Real Husbands of Hollywood": I love the wives and female friends, like Wanda Sykes, on the show. It airs at 10 p.m. EST Tuesday on BET. [Watch here]
"Revolution": I missed last week's episode and want to catch up before the next. It airs at 8 p.m. EST Wednesday on NBC. [Watch here]
The Hot List: Who/What's Hot, Not
HOT: Oprah Winfrey visiting two graduates from her Leadership Academy for Girls who are studying at Skidmore College in New York (It's good she's keeping up with the young ladies.).
NOT: "Love & Hip Hop" season 4 promo (It aired repeatedly during the TLC biopic and my head hurts).
HOT: Kevin Grevioux allowing himself to follow his dream into the world of science fiction (I love that he's staying true to himself.).
NOT: Hooters firing a Farryn Johnson, 25-year-old black woman, because she wore blond highlights in her dark-brown hair (All of those frosted and cherry-toned colors I see Hooter waitresses sporting?! Chile, please …).

Cracking the Code
The ICD-10 switch presents many uncertainties, but practices don't need a Rosetta Stone to streamline the transition.
October 2015
Some people had doubts, but it happened. On Oct. 1, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) adopted the latest version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnosis coding system, ICD-10.
Many radiology practices have been training and preparing their staffs for the ICD-10 switch for months, if not years. Still, transitioning from ICD-9's 14,025 numeric codes to ICD-10's 69,823 alphanumeric codes won't be easy. "While many other countries implemented ICD-10 years ago, it has not yet been implemented in a health care system like ours, where the code will determine whether the provider is paid or not," says Renée Engle, radiology certified coder (RCC), senior vice president of client services at MSN Healthcare Solutions, a billing and practice management company headquartered in Columbus, Ga.
Code Compliance
Before the Oct. 1 deadline, many radiology practices held workshops, obtained workbooks, and hired consultants to train their coders, radiologists, and other staff members on how to use ICD-10. Even so, coders will likely take longer to code and submit ICD-10 claims because the codes are completely different from ICD-9.
One way practices can ease the transition is by creating reference sheets that translate the most common ICD-9 codes into ICD-10. Pat Kinsley, RT, CPC, RCC, coding and compliance manager at Suburban Radiologic Consultants, says her group has outlined its top 200 codes in a quick-reference guide.
But a reference guide won't help if coders don't have enough patient information to code the claims to the level of specificity that ICD-10 requires. Ideally, referring physicians will order imaging exams through computerized order entry systems that require patient histories. If they don't, radiologists and their staffs may need to retrieve the information from electronic medical records or contact referring physicians to obtain those details. "Unfortunately, we don't have great ways of restricting or requiring certain information in imaging orders," says Margaret Fleming, MD, breast imaging fellow at Emory University in Atlanta.
Radiologists must then include the patient information in their reports so the coders can assign appropriate ICD-10 codes. Kinsley recommends appointing a radiologist as an ICD-10 champion to promote the change throughout the practice. "It's helpful to have that peer-to-peer encouragement rather than a business office person trying to convince them to do things differently," she notes.
Cash on Hand
While ICD-10 definitely requires more specificity, it is unclear just how much specificity third-party payers will expect. "Payers could certainly use this as an opportunity not to pay claims, and that's a big fear," Engle says. Radiology practices should refer to payer coverage polices and determinations to identify appropriate ICD-10 codes and reduce the chances of rejected claims. To give practices time to acclimate to ICD-10, CMS announced that for the next year Medicare review contractors will not deny or audit claims based on specificity, as long as a valid code from the appropriate ICD-10 family is used. "The only problem with that is you might adopt bad habits in the process, and bad habits are hard to change," Kinsley warns.
Since delayed payments are likely, practices should manage their cash flow diligently during the ICD-10 transition. Ronald V. Bucci, administrative director of radiology at MetroHealth, a system serving the Cleveland, Ohio, area, recommends postponing unnecessary purchases and expenses for the next few months. "Practices should hold off on purchases that do not impact their normal business operations until they know that they have money coming in," he says.
Many resources are available to help practices resolve issues during the transition. The ACR and other professional groups regularly post news and references to their websites. Engle notes that the Radiology Business Management Association offers valuable resources, including a listserv, an ICD-10 toolkit, and members' forum, while CMS has appointed an ICD-10 ombudsman to address physician and provider issues. "The good thing is that radiologists are much more prepared for the ICD-10 switch than many other specialties," Engle says. "The bad thing is that there are a lot of unknowns, so we have to be ready for whatever hits us and react appropriately."
What impact will ICD-10 have on practices? Find out from Meg Fleming, MD.
