After endless provoking from my boyfriend followed by the question "but why?" after my every sentence, I was able to formulate a somewhat coherent answer to this enigma. So thank you Jack Sparrow.
Why do I want to be a doctor?
I wish I could say that I wanted to be a physician ever since I was young because I visited the hospital often as a kid. But that is simply not the case. I did not enjoy having IV injections and certainly took no joy in ingesting bitter medications. Although my experiences at the hospital was not pleasant, it made a very important impression in me as a patient: the pain and uncertainty that I, like other patients, endured. From then on, I would excessively worry whenever I get sick and always had the desire to know exactly what was wrong with me. It is this irrational worrying along with three role models I would later meet in my life that shaped my vision of becoming a physician and public health researcher.
It was in junior year of high school that I was inspired by my first role model who sparked my interest in medicine. While some 17 year olds were afraid of getting pregnant, I was afraid that I was never going to be able to: I was suspected to have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I remember walking in to the clinic as an awkward teenager with sweaty palms and jittery stomach, anxious to be inspected. My family physician treated me with respect and showed genuine concern. He did not merely note down my symptoms, wrote a slip of paper and send me off to get blood tests; he took the extra steps in reassuring me in a caring yet professional manner that based on my symptoms I was likely to be experiencing chronic stress. He always ended our regular visits with a gentle smile and told me to "take some load off at school, worry less, and relax". The reassurance I felt after hearing those words from my family physician still resonates with me today. I was attracted to this human aspect of medicine since I was 17. This is the stepping stone on which I began my interest in pursuing a career in medicine.
In my sophomore year, I met my second role model who was instrumental in shaping my goal. I was a delegate at Transcending Borders: a global health conference in London where I engaged in a small group discussion with Dr. Gary Bloch, family physician and member of Health Providers Against Poverty. After hearing his presentation on the crucial role that physicians have as advocates for their patients and the link between poverty and health, I was in awe. I was fixated on the fact that poverty is a leading cause of poor health. Here I am, a pathology student, learning all about heart disease and cancer and no where in my textbook mentions poverty! In the same summer, I went on a medical volunteering trip to Nicaragua and Cost Rica. After just learning about poverty and health, I was excited to go to a developing country and improve health of people in the community. But just like every other global medical trips, we treated the patients for their symptoms; almost always without a full understanding of their family situation, habits, and complete history. I left the trip feeling uneasy as I reflected back on everything I did, I realized we were just a bandaid to the solution. Most of the diseases we were treating would not have occurred if the patients' socioeconomic status were different. I continued to witness the impact of social economic factors on health as a volunteer at Street Connection, a homeless youth centre. As a premed, I couldn't help but notice the discerning difference between health of these clients that come into the shelter and my classmates at Western University. I remember when a client came in with scars all over her body, some were visibly exuding puss. When I asked her about it, her response was "infections from 'shooting' dope" an issue that she would not have to go through if not for her homeless situation and street influence. I thought back to Dr. Bloch's view of "seeing poverty as a disease", and having witnessed firsthand the impact of social economic factors on health, I grew interested in public health.
My last mentor is my honours thesis supervisor Dr. Cindy Hutnik, ophthalmologist and associate professor at Western University. Dr. Hutnik played a key role in helping me connect medicine and public health research. Prior to working in her lab, I had research experiences in neuroscience and biomedical engineering, while I learned to interpret literature, analyze data, and troubleshoot problems, it wasn't until working in Dr. Hutnik's lab that I saw the intimate interplay between medicine and research. I investigated the effect of mechanical stress on trabecular meshwork cells, but the underlying goal was to elucidate the cause of glaucoma. Throughout my project, Dr. Hutnik always related the things I saw in the lab to things she saw in the clinic. Every step of the way, I was encouraged to think critically about experiment design, protein targets, and my results in relation to medical background of glaucoma. I presented my research in both podium and poster format in an effective manner to highlight the reason behind every step of my experiment and what the significance of the results mean in terms of the current field of ophthalmology. I saw the value of connecting the clinical experience to the research, and I knew I wanted to do the same in my career.
I loved the idea of breaking new frontiers of knowledge through research, but I could not let go of the ability to impact lives on an individualized basis through medicine. From working in Latin America and Street Connection, I knew I wanted to do public health research and hence my decision to pursue a MPH. But medicine still tugs my heart strings as I think back to when I was a gangly 17-year-old again and the role that my family physician played in making the otherwise scary period of my life better. From my thesis research, I learned that it is more than possible to be a physician and use their clinical experience to benefit research and vice versa. And here I am, originally motivated by my family doctor and now, I'm excited to bridge the gap between social economic factors and health through medicine and public health.
Alrighty, that's my explanation… I guess this whole time I was just afraid to admit my expansion of interest from family medicine to global health to public health research and back to medicine. Does it show that I'm not focused on medicine? Is my dream too unrealistic??
Regardless, that's all I got. Now time to insert skills and the professional stuff to everything I've done ha!
Looking back on my attitude during the past 4 years of my undergrad, I've been very realistic about the whole medical school application process. To a point where I firmly believed in the admission statistics; if the average GPA is 3.85, and I had 3.99 I thought for sure I'd get an interview, likewise, if someone didn't have much research experience and UofT is infamous for their preference towards research heavy applicants, I would think their chances of getting an interview is pretty much slim to none.
On both accounts, I was proven wrong.
I was so absorbed in this mindset for the past few years, that I became a slave to statistics and the "norm". If I was above the "average"; I will for sure succeed, if I was below the norm; don't even bother. I had the anti-exception complex, I didn't believe I was special, but as a matter of fact, this past year I was special… and not in a good way. Despite the stats and the fact that I was above the "average" for certain schools, I didn't get interviews. This proved to me a very important lesson that I am only starting to grasp now: exceptions do occur and statistics-while useful-is merely a guideline, not a rule.
But the only way for it to not be a rule, is for me to show that I am good enough; regardless of what other people are doing, I've done my share of hard work, and I can't be afraid to show who I am before I even enter the race.
I've been a realist-optimist pretty much my entire life for everything else except when it comes to myself, in which case it's just reduced to realist, period. At a time when I have to work on my application while not knowing how I did on my MCAT (hoping for the best, expecting the worst), I need to be a realist and optimist. Because right now feels like I'm trying to race but not knowing whether I was going to have an allergy attack or not during the run.. Okay bad analogy, but point is, I'm blind to my chances. But again, there's the word 'chance'. I am obsessed with calculated probabilities based on statistics and the hardest thing to do is pursuing something in the face of uncertainty: with no idea whether you will get there or not. (Wow kudos to all the musicians/artists out there trying to make it big. I honestly don't know how you guys have that spirit to keep going when the future is so uncertain. )
To be honest, I started this journey on a pursuit to medicine because it was the path that made the most sense, and seemed to have the least amount of obstacles, if I already have good marks and good ECs, then it should be relatively easy right? If you asked me 3 years ago, 'would you still want to do this if it would be hella hard and filled with uncertainty and risks?' The honest answer is, I don't know. But somehow, after disappointments, let downs, and endless self-doubt, I am still on this road. I guess this is what it means to be passionate about something.. either that or I'm stubborn as hell.
Point is, this is the time to showcase who I am, regardless of my "chances" based on statistics. A lot easier said than done, but still at least it's something to keep in mind.
How does employee surveys benefit both a company and its employees?
When I think about employee surveys, the first thing that comes to mind is the feedback surveys that I would receive in the email from Western University. Some of which were general feedback on the school, and others were more specifically focused on issues such as psychological state transitioning from secondary school to university.
To be honest, the initial reason I did the surveys were to enter into a draw for free iPads (c'mon that's a pretty good incentive), but from actually doing the surveys and seeing the type of questions asked, I began to slowly appreciate the value of surveys. I started to see it as a way for me to give my opinions and in turn for future students to benefit from lessons learned from my peers and myself. To think that my educational experience was better because of previous students and their feedback; THAT was enough incentive for me to do the surveys even if there were no free iPads. Drawing from my personal experience with school surveys, there are three main benefits that I believe employees and the company can gain from using employee surveys.
First and probably the most evident benefit is that employee surveys serve as a way for employees to give feedback and voice their opinions anonymously to upper management without the stress of face-to-face confrontation. In both academic and business settings, there tends to be a fear for authority. We all know that awkward feeling when you want to raise your hand to object to something your superior said, but you notice no one else has their hands raised and in turn you quietly slide your hand back down but the issue is still unresolved–you still have your unvoiced opinion! The common fear for confronting authoritative figure leads to a lack of active feedback from employees for fear of repercussions i.e. negative treatment by superiors or loss of promotion. Hence, employee surveys acts as a solution that provides easy access, anonymity, and convenience for the employees to give their opinions on the company and in turn improve communication and coherence within the company.
Looking at it from the opposite perspective–that of the company–there are invaluable benefits to be reaped as well. For instance, the fact that the company uses employee surveys year after year means that they can gather information regarding its employees at a grand scale. No longer are companies restricted to understanding their current state but also extending to the past and predicting the future through data analysis and pattern formation. This newly gained ability to analyze employee attitudes enable the company to effectively self-evaluate and in turn, make better decisions regarding which rules and regulations to enact or remove. Knowing how the employees feel about certain rules and regulations can call for appropriate action by the company, and make changes that will improve the work place atmosphere. I am a big believer of the importance of being happy at work; if the employees are happier going to work, one would reasonably conclude that they would do a better job than if they were unhappy with the company, thereby increasing productivity. (As duly noted from a millions viewed Ted Talk)
Which leads me to the last and arguably most important gain from employee surveys which is this: knowing that you work in a place that actually cares about you. This may seem rather anticlimactic to end it in a feel good "soft" argument, but since work is where you spend a good chunk of your day, I believe that being happy while at work goes a long way. Mental health is a increasingly prevalent issue that is being tackled both in schools and workplace environments. With a whopping number of 350 million people currently suffering from depression worldwide (according to WHO), employee survey may serve as one route to gauge the status of mental well being of workers, and facilitate an acceptable environment to openly discuss this issue. Much like the mental health campaigns widely seen in university campuses such as the Holding On To Hope campaign. All of this contributes to healthier and more productive workers who can better focus on their work and enable a better workplace environment! Moreover, the surveys allow the employees to look to the future of the company with hope; that the company will continuously improve and that could be a huge determining factor for whether someone would want to remain in a company. Better retention rates for employees can save the company cost from continuously hiring new people as well as the time and money that goes towards training new people. It is not difficult to imagine that experienced workers can perform tasks quicker and more accurately, and thus companies have much to gain from having more experienced workers in the task force.
So what're you waiting for? Make your own online survey for your company today.
And here we are. Number 1.
Exactly a year ago, I began this project, and I truly feel that this blog has changed me, in ways that I could not begin to describe.
Every day, for 365 days, I wrote about one thing that was awesome, whether it happened to me, or to others that I was able to see. And 365 days was more than enough time to make a habit, I found myself consciously realizing little sweet things about life here and there, and slowly, no day is wholly bad anymore. I hope, from reading my blog, that you too were slowly making note of awesome things in your day that you come across with.
This blog was a true test of perseverance, there would be times after studying for an exam till 3 in the morning, when all I wanted to do is just crash in bed. But having this blog, kept me persistent in my goal-made me stay on the computer for 10 more minutes and write a post-it made me realize, all too often, that obstacles are just blessings in disguise.
Pain is our universal gift.
It grounds us, connects us as a whole, humbles us. And looking back on each day, I am thankful for all the experiences I've gone through, good and bad, cause regardless of what happened on each day, there was always something awesome every day.
One last experience before I leave off; Today.
The day started off normal, went to class, came home, had lunch did homework, and headed off to volunteering. For some reason, I thought it starts at 4 when it really started at 5, after I arrive, I realized my mistake, and quickly searched for my phone to text my boyfriend, and that's when I realized… I lost my phone. Of course, like any other person would, I had a panic attack. And hopped on my bike and went back the way I came from and tried to find it along the way.
No success.
And I arrived home, sweltered and drenched with sweat and frustration. Tried calling my phone via Gmail.
No success.
After telling my boyfriend to call and leave a text in case someone finds it. I bike back to volunteering, with a slim hope that perhaps this time I'll be able to find it.
No success.
On the way back, I was contemplating to myself about this loss. Am I sad about it? I thought I was, but I don't feel the immense gut-twisting pain that sadness causes. Am I mad? Well, yeah at myself because I was careless and it's really no one else's fault but mine. Yes, it was a blackberry and of certain value, but at that point I wasn't concerned about the monetary loss, but rather what losing a phone meant-my sole source of communication. After some sulking and talking to my parents. I thought to myself..
Does this really matter?
And then the answer came to me; No.
It really didn't, if I just looked at my what I care about, my phone really isn't anywhere near the top of that priority list competing with health of self and family, education, and global disasters. In fact, I didn't know why I paid so much money on a monthly basis for a technology when all I needed was basic communication with a selected few. Did I really need the social networking plan, with Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo messenger? Not really. So why do people care so much about what type of phone they have? What brand of clothes they wear? What type of car they drive?
To receive respect, I suppose. But respect isn't earned solely through tangible items, in fact, I know I'd respect someone who's extremely hard working, humble, and talented versus someone who's not but has some fancy phone. So even on a selfish basis, I realized the proper way of earning respect is really not on materialistic things, and thus, I should focus on earning respect through intangible means.
That's the end of my little speel to myself, and right there and then,
I accepted the loss of my phone.
I accepted it as a positive thing. I thought "Maybe this is a good thing, it's time to have simple things and be happy with them". And shortly after, I get an email from my boyfriend saying those miraculous words "Someone found your phone, call them at this number…"
I could not believe it. I mean I'm not religious but could this be a test from God? It's crazy how the timing worked out. I wasn't even happy about my phone being back, but the fact that someone found it and is more than willing to give it back-without charge.
This really is one of those stories, however small and insignificant to many of you, that I will hold close to remind me; in times of pessimism that there is hope.
There is always hope.
What a perfect way to end this 365 project. I, unfortunately will not be continuing this blog. But I sure hope at least one of you will! Even if it's just in your head. :)
#1; 365daysofmei, and all its values and lessons bestowed on me.
#2; It's a great day to be alive.
It really is.
Undoubtedly, poverty still exists, inequality is still evident, corruption trickles down every level, there's still troubles in your own little bubble. But you know what?
Today's a great day to be alive.
Sometimes we just got to give ourselves a break, not take ourselves so seriously. Keep our eye on the prize, work hard, and be kind to one each other nonetheless, but… just don't be so hard on yourself :)
Sun still rises in the east, people still hold doors for one another, prices are fair, global temperatures are just moderately high, world war III hasn't occurred..
It's a great day to be alive.
We all encounter these, to different scale and in different contexts. However different, I think we can all agree on the fact that they are not something we enjoy and feel blessed about.
At least, that's just how I feel. And today, actually for the past few days, that's exactly what I've been going through: trials and tribulations. Moments of self stirred doubt, of questioning my ability, of tireless efforts met with poor results, of longing to be in another's shoes living someone else's life, times where I just want to give up.
But no hard task can be overcome easily, no sweet reward are at the end of smooth sailing, and I truly believe our trials and tribulations is what defines our success.
Time and time again, I come across my favorite quote "Just keep swimming" from a wise little blue fish in the sea and I would remind myself of all the obstacles Nemo's dad had to overcome to find Nemo. Did he give up when he didn't know where to begin, when he had to cross a sea of jelly fishes, and at times of absolute misery that almost made him lose his only friend? No, he didn't. And as much as this sounds silly basing life lessons off of an animated talking fish, it's true, and it helps me knowing that Nemo's dad had to go through a hell lot more, with higher stakes but he didn't give up and neither should I.
Last but not least, as much as I keep saying "life's so sad right now" or the popular phrase "sadlife", I cringe a bit on the inside every time that comes out of my mouth because I really don't believe I live a sad life, in fact, I know it's because I'm blessed with a privileged life that I am able to even encounter my trials and tribulations. And most importantly, I'm so so so grateful to have such supportive people in my life, pushing me through, thanks js.
Phew, that was a mouthful, but hey this is the 4th last blog post, I'm allowed to go on a tangent :)

Optimism and FaithJune 12th, 2004 , by admin
My son was born on Ronald Regan's birthday. I have a vivid memory of being in the hospital room with my husband and my baby, watching the State of the Union Speech. We were indescribably joyful that day holding our precious baby, only a few hours old. The President seemed to speak to us when he talked about the sacredness of life. He had the same hope for the future of America that we had for the future of our family.
I was not sad when I heard of the former President's death. I have a firm faith that those who trust in Christ will have a much better life in heaven. I smile to think that after a 10 year battle with disease, he is fully restored in the presence of God. But watching the funeral today did make me realize how much I will miss him.
It's the character of the man that set off these feelings. He believed in individual responsibility and individual opportunity. That's the same quality that makes me adamant that I don't want a doctor or an insurance company or a government bureaucracy managing my health. He was both witty and tenacious, qualities needed by everyone, including school teachers and moms. He believed that God had a purpose for his life. And millions of people now living in free countries enjoy the fruit of the pursuit of that purpose.
There will never be another Ronald Regan, but I pray that God will raise up leaders around the world who will emulate his stand for morality, freedom, individual responsibility, optimism and faith.
Trivia and truthJune 11th, 2004 , by admin
My daughter and her friends send each other e-mail with interesting trivia and jokes. Today she showed me one called "Bet you didn't know this." One of the items said "Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair."
I said that while the statement was true, the reason why it was true was more important. We looked up copper and zinc in a nutrition book and found that both minerals are needed for proper brain function. I said, "If you eat healthy food and take your vitamins, then your body has the copper and zinc it needs. When you find copper and zinc in someone's hair, it also means that they are getting enough copper and zinc for their brains, and that means they are able to think better." My daughter eats healthy so she can stay slim. Just then the light dawned - by eating healthy she can be both slim and smart. She likes that idea.
It reminded me of another bit of trivia I read in Reader's Digest: "Doctors are unable to determine the cause of 37% of physical symptoms reported by patients." I suspect the truth is that most of those 37% are people who don't feel good because they are eating foods that conflict with their blood type. How well I remember my doctor finding inflammation in my stomach. But she had no idea why it was inflamed or how to make the inflammation go away. When I started the Blood Type Diet, I stopped being part of that 37%!
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
Chef PaulJune 10th, 2004 , by admin
Fellow blogger Paul Buckless often shares recipes, and this week I tried two of them.
When I wrote about cooking kohlrabi, Paul commented, "You can also grate it raw and dress with a little lemon juice & olive oil." I didn't find kohlrabi again until this week. The produce manager told me it wouldn't really be in season until August. The kohlrabi I found was not the freshest, but I bought it anyway, because I really wanted to see if I liked it raw.
It was crunchy and reminded me of cole slaw. There was none of the turnip taste that it had when I cooked it. My daughter turned thumbs down, but my son and I both liked it. Next time I may add more lemon juice or some grated lemon rind. Definitely we like kohlrabi better raw than cooked.
One of my goals for the summer is to get a repertoire of breakfast food that is traditional enough to appeal to my daughter, but good for her blood type. Today I tried Paul's Oat Shortbread Biscuits. An ongoing joke in our family is that if we try something new and it is good we say, "Try it you'll like it." But if it is really outstandingly good, we say, "Don't try it. You won't like it. I'll have to eat it all myself." My daughter was really hungry when she came in from swim practice. When the biscuits came out of the oven, I tasted them first, shook my head and said, "Don't try it…" She grabbed one, and another, and another. When her brother came in a short time later, he said, "What smells good." She said, "Don't try it…." and he grinned.
There was only one problem with the Oat Shortbread Biscuit recipe. It may make enough for Paul and Sue, but it was NOT enough for two teenagers. Next time I make a double batch.
Too rainy to runJune 9th, 2004 , by admin
Saturday was so hot and dry that I thought it might not rain again until September. Now it has rained for 30 hours straight, and I wonder if we're going to have a Seattle summer.
The kids and I went to the library - a good rainy day activity. The library air conditioner must have been expecting a hot summer day, because it was refrigerator cold in there. That was when I thought about running. It was nice and cool outside - a rare opportunity for a comfortable summer run. All I needed was a 30 minute window with no rain. One time in the afternoon I got as far as block from the house before the rain started up again.
I kept yesterday's promise for an earlier dinner. When I called for everyone to wash hands at 7:00, no one believed me! Finally about 10:15 there was a break in the rain. The radar showed more showers coming, so I announced I was going for a quick run. My husband said, "Are you sure that's a good idea? Is it safe to run alone at this time of night?" With those two questions he was really saying "I'm concerned about your safety" and "I love you." I was disappointed to miss the run, but I'll be content with sit ups and shoulder shrugs.
When is dinner time?June 8th, 2004 , by admin
Our first swim meet of the season was rained out tonight, but I learned something about my internal clock.
My husband gets home between 6 and 6:30, but he doesn't want to immediately sit down to dinner. He likes to read the mail and watch the news first. So during the school year we have dinner around 7:30. During the summer dinner time is even later. We swim laps from 7:00 to 8:00, so often it's close to 9:00 before we eat.
Tonight's meet was to start at 6:00. That meant warm ups at 5:00. There were lots of swimmers and the meet wouldn't be over until late, so I decided to eat my dinner before the meet. I had left over cod, a sweet potato, and watermelon. It surprised me, but I liked eating dinner at 4:30.
Storm clouds moved in, and the coaches postponed the meet. When my husband and kids ate at 7:30, I was still satisfied from my early dinner. I sat at the table to enjoy the conversation, but just had a glass of water.
Having dinner together is a priority for our family. I certainly don't want to eat early and miss the good companionship around the table. But I could use the oven timer and the crock pot more, so that we're ready to eat when we come in from the pool. I could eat my meat late in the late afternoon and have fruit and or salad at dinner time. I wonder if anyone else in the family would benefit from an earlier dinner time. I'm going to have to work on this.
On a different subject. There is a restaurant where my son and I like to eat liver & onions. Today I tried cooking liver & onions for lunch. I cut the liver into thin strips and cooked it slowly in a skillet. I cooked the onions separately in grape seed oil. We both agreed it was very good, rivaling the liver & onions in the restaurant.

NOV. 21, 2013 - One of the most common complications associated with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes is delayed wound healing. If left untreated, wounds can lead to infection, amputation, and even death. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputation in the United States.
Healing problems are caused by diabetes-related conditions that cause the small blood vessels in different parts of the body, especially in the extremities (hands and feet), grow narrower and reduce the blood circulation to those areas. Lack of circulation can result in a reduced supply of oxygen and nutrients to the body tissue and nerves needed for healing.
Advocate South Suburban Hospital is hosting a physician-led discussion, "Treatment Options for Living with Diabetes" to explore options for those who are dealing with diabetes, delayed wound healing and other complications of diabetes. The event will be hosted by internal medicine specialist, Navneet Singh, MD and plastic surgeon, David Dreyfuss, MD, both on staff at Advocate South Suburban Hospital.
"Treatment Options for Living with Diabetes" will take place on the on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013 at the Matteson Holiday Inn's Oak Room at 550 Holiday Plaza Dr. Matteson, IL 60443. The complimentary breakfast begins at 8:30 a.m. and the presentation will start at 9 a.m.
Those who would like to attend can register for the event by call in 1-800-323-8622.
Prevention of diabetic wounds and other complications is critical for diabetic patients to ensure a normal and active healthy life, says Dr. Singh.
"Diabetic patients must remember that diabetic wounds can be disabling and life threatening in some cases," he says."It is critical that people practice simple prevention to avoid the serious threat of non-healing wounds and other complications of the disease."
Dr. Singh says that prevention should begin with:

As I stare down the gun barrel of being alone with one toddler and one newborn while my beloved husband returns to work, I simply don't know how we're going to eat dinner anymore. But I think I have it covered for at least one night a week.
I'm going to declare next Monday (and all Mondays forever into the future) Crock Pot Night.
On Sunday, when we're having our regularly scheduled family time and Holden is napping, we will choose a meal from Not Your Mothers Slow Cooker Cookbook and chop our vegetables. On Monday morning, I will throw everything into the crock pot at some moment of leisure (or during several stolen fragments of moments) and let the food just stew until dinner time. Voila!
If all goes well, Monday's dinner will be hot and edible and the rest of the week we will have delicious leftovers for lunches. Also in this fantasy, Holden will happily eat what we eat and stop spilling his big-boy cup on purpose.

Follow @eFatwa
The name of the Angel of Death
appropriately reference this fatwa to:
www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
It has been mentioned that [the name of] the Angel of Death is 'Izraa.eel. So is this correct or not?
It is not correct to call him 'Izraa.eel, rather, it is said: Angel of Death, just as Allaah 'Azza wa Jall has said:
{Say: "The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls}, [Soorah as-Sajdah, Aayah 11]
...and it has not been authentically reported from the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) that his name is 'Izraa.eel.

searching for my father ... and finding the Zodiac Killer
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
A fascinating read that seems to fit pieces together quite well. I appreciate the use of extensive forensics and the very real exposition on the struggles the author faced.
Truly a book you can't put down. Well written!
Reads like a page-turning novel but is a true story. five stars.
According to the actual police department files from the original murder cases, there was no "Zodiac Killer," only some phony letters to the SF Chronicle claiming credit for some unrelated murders, followed by an exploitative book full of falsehoods by Robert Graysmith (real name: Robert Smith, Jr):
Over the last few years, all of the actual police department and FBI files related to the so-called "Zodiac" murders have become available in the public domain. It's over 2500 pages of material, but the most essential 1000 pages can be seen here:
If you'd like a free "study guide" for reading these documents (and for debunking Robert Smith aka Robert Graysmith's "non" fiction book ZODIAC) you can start here:
Or here:
Compare Wakshull's "verification" of the handwriting of Earl Best, Jr to THIS handwriting: http://t.co/VtzJ3A4IyH
If you're interested.
I haven't read this book, but-- I have read the two by Robert Graysmith ZODIAC and the sequel ZODIAC UNMASKED wherein he named the killer. I usually steer well clear of True Crime but these books are terrific and the basis of the Hollywood movie. Officially, the Zodiac Killer has never been identified. This new book presents another point of veiw...
Very well written and researched. May be considered by some a controversial theory as to the identity of the Zodiac killer. Narrative seems like it could be believable. The book also was very interesting because it was about the search of an adopted son for his biological mother and father. I enjoyed reading it.

Took my mother-in-law as a Christmas present. She loved it! She was singing and smiling the whole time! Fun evening.
star this review starred report as inappropriate
We had a great time. The only complaint was this show was presented as half Christmas music and half Beatles. The band only played Beatles music. Still a great show though.

That way, for example if the detail were to be moved to another sheet, the field in the door schedule would be automatically updated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Unfortunately not. This is still a manual process I am afraid. It isn't possible to reference other views within a schedule.

VanDerbeck later recused himself from the controversial case. Visiting DeKalb County Judge Kevin Wallace heard Shaffer admit the probation violation last month, and issued the sentence Friday.
A child's death
Goshen attorney Phil Miller represented Shaffer in court Friday. He likened Alissa Guernsey's death to a bell that sounded five years ago — and the echoes are still being heard.
"They provoke feelings of revenge, or feelings of sympathy or mercy," Miller said. "... Those sounds are everywhere. Those feelings are everywhere."
Miller said there's no question that Shaffer's world caved in "after this tragic bell rang." Her problems included suffering from depression and anxiety.
LeAnn Anders, chief probation officer for LaGrange Circuit Court, recounted a conversation with Shaffer about the probation violation.
"She stated she was mad at the world so she chose to use drugs," Anders said. She recommended that probation be revoked and that Shaffer serve out her sentence in the Department of Correction.
Miller suggested a one-year term of incarceration for Shaffer, followed by time spent in a treatment program and then a term of probation.
"She needs to work on herself," Miller said.
Responding to a question from Judge Wallace, Shaffer indicated she would benefit from a rehabilitation program as opposed to incarceration.
"I think I would get more of the help I would need," the mother of three said before the sentence was handed down.
An email from Alissa Guernsey's mother was submitted into evidence Friday. Prosecutor Jeff Wible said the theme of the email was that Shaffer should not be given any leniency.
Wible said hundreds of people worldwide have expressed an opinion about the case — they want revenge. The prosecutor stressed that revenge is not the goal of the state. Wible also asked for the six-year maximum term, minus time served.
"(Shaffer) was given a tremendous opportunity...and she did in fact squander it by violating the law," he said.
Shaffer also faces Class D felony charges of possession of methamphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance. A court hearing on those charges is set for May 16.

(NEWS RELEASE)- The South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce, or DEW, says newly-released figures show that 2013 was a banner year as far as total employment. The department says More South Carolinians were employed by the end of the year than ever before in the state's history.
Statistics provided by DEW show that South Carolina's employment level exceeded the two-million mark in November 2012 and remained above the two-million level throughout 2013. Prior to this, the last time employment exceeded two-million was in July of 2008.
"Having more South Carolinians employed than at any other time in our state's history didn't happen by chance – it's the direct result of Team South Carolina's strategic effort to recruit and expand businesses in every corner of our state," said Governor Nikki Haley.
The employment situation for January will be released March 17th, and February's figures will be released on March 28th.

Crossing Borders
The 18th annual Chicago Artists Month (CAM) is a month-long festival that celebrates the creativity in every Chicago neighborhood during the month of October. CAM is a platform for Chicago-based artists and performers working in all media to promote and showcase their work, initiate collaborations and engage new audiences. CAM is a program of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, in partnership with the Chicago Park District and numerous community partners.
CAM programs include exhibitions and performances, behind-the-scenes studio tours and neighborhood art walks, theater and dance productions, films, markets, classes, parades and conversations. Presenters range from museums and artist collaboratives, galleries, theaters, film clubs, yoga studios, cultural centers, coffee houses and other organizations throughout the city.
Theme: Crossing Borders
The CAM 2014 theme is Crossing Borders. Proposal are encouraged, but not required, to engage the theme. Crossing Borders - actual physical borders, or conceptual, genre or societal borders - can be liberating, creative, transgressive, stimulating, hazardous, affirmative or all of the above. Often, crossing borders is life-changing. CAM encourages participants to plan their program as a mash-up, crossing borders literally and figuratively - between neighborhoods and nations, within artistic genres, media and social scenes.
Check back in September for the 2014 Chicago Artists Month

The HHS has adopted a "too-big-to-control" model that is wasting billions of taxpayer dollars, House Republicans said Wednesday.
According to a new report from the House Ways and Means Committee, ObamaCare — and especially the employer mandate — will actually give employers a huge incentive to stop offering health insurance benefits to their employees.
A newly leaked HHS PowerPoint presentation provides public speakers with a simplified tool to educate Americans on how ObamaCare works.
As Americans wait for the Supreme Court to determine whether all, part, or none of ObamaCare is unconstitutional, ObamaCare is being implemented and imposing costs.
Millions of employers and health insurance policyholders will collectively receive $1.3 billion in rebates this year, as part of President Obama's healthcare reform law, a research group reported Thursday. As the constitutionality of ObamaCare remains under contention, the White House and Democrats in Congress are touting the rebate scheme as an indication that the law is giving back to American consumers.
A Catholic bishop in Illinois has come under intense attack for his comparison of President Obama's healthcare policies with actions taken by Hitler in Germany. Bishop Daniel Jenky told attendees during a mass at St. Mary's Cathedral in Peoria April 14 that the Obama administration is modeling historically repressive regimes that "tried to force Christians to huddle and hide only within the confines of their churches."
Think ObamaCare, with its thousands of pages of rules and regulations governing every aspect of American life, is revolutionary? Think again, says the Los Angeles Times. When it comes to healthcare, writes Noam N. Levey, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney "has embraced a strategy that in crucial ways is more revolutionary — and potentially more disruptive — than the law Obama signed two years ago."
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin announced April 20 that it was suspending the distribution of the abortion pill RU-486, citing a new state law that has tightened the restrictions on what has come to be known as "non-surgical" or "web cam" abortions — so named because abortionists can approve the procedure without personally examining a pregnant mother.
JBS CEO Art Thompson's Second Video Analysis for the Week of April 23-29, 2012.
"I think the Affordable Care Act is the single least popular piece of major domestic legislation in the last 70 years. It was not popular when it passed; it's less popular now. I think the worst thing that could happen to Barack Obama's reelection campaign would be if he had to spend four months this fall explaining what ObamaCare 2 would look like."

Report: Sony Launching $70 PSN Premium at E3
Sony is said to be launching a new premium version of the PlayStation Network at E3 this year.
Sony may not be launching a new iteration of its handheld PSP console this year at E3 but that doesn't mean the company won't have a big reveal for the annual games convention. VG247 cites sources that say Sony will introduce us to a new version of PSN next month. While the current PSN costs nothing to use and will remain free, the new premium PSN will cost under $70 per year.
VG247's 'highly placed source' says this premium service will also include one game a month for free, with users choosing from between two and four titles.
"If you work it out, PSN games cost an average of £6-9 each, so over a year you're basically going to be breaking even," the source is quoted as saying.
The source went on to say that though the premium service would offer lots of extras, it wouldn't mean fewer features for those with the regular, old free version. When asked about the possibility that cross-game voice chat was being saved as a paid feature, the source said this was absolutely not the case.
"I can tell you now, 100 percent, that that's not the case. There's nothing in the premium package which will gimp regular PSN users."
Would you pay up to $70 per year for a premium version of PSN? Let us know in the comments below!
It comes with some free games I guess so. I would wait a couple of months to see what kind of free games though. If its just Pacman or Qbert for free then I would say no.
How about lowering it a bit in order to stay competitive with XBOX Live?

-5borisof007 , May 20, 2010 12:42 AMwintermintHow about lowering it a bit in order to stay competitive with XBOX Live?
^^ lol
0armitageid , May 20, 2010 12:42 AMMaybe, but will need to know more about it. Where are some details! hopefully coming soon!
3idisarmu , May 20, 2010 12:50 AMThey should sell vouchers/cards in stores just like the XBL points. $5 gets you one month, $25 gets you 6 months, and $40 gets you 12 months.
That would encourage people to buy the cards in bulk.
1Anonymous , May 20, 2010 12:51 AMkeczapifrytkiI would, just because you are basically "breaking even" at the end of the year with the free games. Keep in mind that they might be crap, but still free.
This, I think 2 out of 4 games released on PSN are fairly good though, so if they offer a good selection I think it wouldn't be too bad. And if it takes up the services offered to a new level, it might make the ps3 at least play on a level close to Xbox Live, although that all depends on how they present themselves. Still competition is always good, so lets hope for the best! And if nothing else this gives more exposure to those downloadable games, and some of them really could use the attention.
1nforce4max , May 20, 2010 12:54 AM$70 isn't all that much now days and for a once a year fee that isn't to bad. I like the free game idea which might pay it's self off depending on the title. I have spent more on ice cream.
0Strider-Hiryu_79 , May 20, 2010 1:16 AMI have all 3 consoles minus a modern pc that can run today's games(waiting for diablo III and starcraft 2 to come out before I play catch up and build a new rig). 2 are collecting dust and the ps3 is what I'm currently using religiously. When not at work I hop onto psn to play super street fighter iv online with my real life friends over psn.
And for all the hating amongst the platforms, there are games that are better tailored to certain platforms than others.
Would I pay 70$ for extra "premium" content on top of the default benefits I already get with my free PSN account? No
I'm betting those "free" games a month that Sony is offering are titles that no one would download or are "clearance" titles.
I'm a use the example of the game worms. Sure it was popular to some. It's personally not my type of game but it's no high end game blockbuster-title either. Games like those I'm betting will be the "free" games that sony will offer. Not high end games(i hope for psn user's sake that I'm proven wrong).
I'm hoping that the free downloadable games are of quality fun titles such as shatter(btw shatter is coming to PC as well i think or already has)which was a nice take on arkanoid-type games with a modern update and control scheme twist and excellent soundtrack by the way.
But yah until Sony offers improved mic support(on par with xbox live) on psn AND until Sony makes online play not-free(god forbid) I'll be sticking to my low-tier free psn account.
0liquidsnake718 , May 20, 2010 1:17 AMnot for shovelware but its interesting to see Sony take Xbox on one step at a time in terms of online content
2jsm6746 , May 20, 2010 1:17 AMtypically, charging a premium for hardcore users in order to offset the costs for everyone else is a fairly decent model... some added revenue 'should' help them improve the service... the fact that there is a free option will also prove attractive to most... even for those who choose to pay the $6 a month, the fact that it was their choice and was not forced upon them makes it more of a personal and prestigious upgrade to the network...
1Cons29 , May 20, 2010 1:23 AMits hard not knowing what games will be offered. maybe at the start of the year they can release a list of games that will be offered, so that we will at least have an idea. or maybe offer the first 3 months for free, so we can see(experience) what we will be getting for $70
0Strider-Hiryu_79 , May 20, 2010 1:28 AMCons29its hard not knowing what games will be offered. maybe at the start of the year they can release a list of games that will be offered, so that we will at least have an idea. or maybe offer the first 3 months for free, so we can see(experience) what we will be getting for $70
Or throw in exclusive beta keys(at least early beta keys for the premium members and then trickle those beta keys down to low tier accounts after x amount of days) or something like that.
They did the same with Qore which is PSN's online downloadable magazine that comes out once a month with which you could either buy 1 issue for a one-time fee or pay a subscription fee to get an issue each month.
Hrm...I wonder if this 70$ account will include Qore.
Guess we'll all have to wait till E3 to find out more about their new account tier.
5j51 , May 20, 2010 1:41 AMSince I have complained the price on Xbox live... I will use the same standard on PSN premium. That means... I will not like it and it is definitely closer the distant between PSN and Xbox live.
However, as long as PSN will still keep the regular account free and all disk base games will never require PSN premium to play online... I will not scream at Sony for doing so.
If Sony really are going to push PSN premium, it'd better be at least as good as what Xbox live Gold have to offer.
-1jetbruceli , May 20, 2010 1:44 AMOh I am gonna pay it, I mean of course if it makes PSN faster. Besides I am sure there will be other exclusives too!
-2Anonymous , May 20, 2010 2:22 AMSony's awsome! Keeping the free stuff is a good idea, it's a selling point I thought about when I bought one. Premium in a couple years will
be better then xbox. By then nintendo will get into it good. Soon xbox will be like sega. A playstation will be on top dog, nintendo for the kids and oldies 97 all over again minus the old farts and the dreamcast Rest in peace SEGA tv I mean Xbox live.
3tayb , May 20, 2010 2:33 AMI'd pay $70 for the PSN if it didn't suck like the free version does. I would gladly, and I mean gladly, pay $50 a year to have Xbox Live for PS3. PSN is absolutely god awful.
0Anonymous , May 20, 2010 2:51 AMim glad its not being forced down our throats, and their not "gimping" us
-1Simple11 , May 20, 2010 2:53 AMI have 0 problem with the free PSN. No lag or anything, but anyhow depending on what the premium offers, I might pay once to give it a try but until then, I am sticking with my free PSN.
1matt87_50 , May 20, 2010 3:11 AMoh yay, why would I want a brand new PSP that brings the hand held into this decade to spend money on, when I can spend money on some random subscription service that will force games on me...

How We've Addressed The Recent Data Compromise
Posted By Justin Premick On December 21, 2009 @ 5:21 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
December 21, 2009
AWeber was recently the victim of an intentional attack to mine email addresses.
We'd like to take this opportunity to share what happened, what was (and was not) affected and what we're doing as a result of this attack.
We use a variety of pieces of software to run different parts of our service and provide support to customers. Some of these are tools we have developed ourselves; others are third-party ones that we license from other companies.
By exploiting and combining vulnerabilities in two separate third-party software systems, the perpetrators managed to gain access to a part of our system where subscriber email addresses are stored.
We have received reports of some of those email addresses receiving spam messages. While the volume of these reports is low, we are treating this incident with the utmost seriousness and addressing it fully.
We have reason to believe that the party responsible for this was either directly or indirectly a part of an overseas organized group.
As noted above, the information that was exported was strictly subscribers' email addresses.
All other customer information was and still remains secure and unaffected:
Additionally, while the perpetrators did acquire some email addresses, the AWeber system was NOT used to send out any spam email on behalf of these perpetrators. Any spam sent to these subscribers was sent via the perpetrators' own systems. This is important to note because this means it will not affect deliverability rates.
We have identified and fixed the vulnerabilities that were used in the attack.
Additionally, we are evaluating other options for these and other third-party softwares that we use to determine if there any other solutions that offer further protections.
As you know, AWeber is staunchly opposed to spam. We take great pains to make sure that our customers engage solely in permission-based email marketing and utilize best practices. We participate in and learn from communities such as the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group to help fight the global messaging abuse problem.
We're very sorry this occurred and may have affected you. We have taken extra steps beyond fixing the problem to ensure that such a breach cannot occur again.
We appreciate the trust and support our customers have expressed throughout the process of investigating this event and reinforcing the security of our systems.
Those wishing to reach us with specific questions regarding this attack are encouraged to call our Customer Solutions Team [1], who will immediately address your concerns.

Previously on The O.C., Holly's dad beat up Marissa's dad at her debutante ball, and Luke thought Marissa couldn't blame Holly for that. Kirsten knew Jimmy, which Lady Heather knew because he still had their prom photo up on their wall. Lady Heather also knew she wanted a divorce. Luke never should have broken up with Marissa in the first place. Ryan said she should let him know when she made up her mind. Summer thought "Chino didn't stand a chance." Then, she kissed Seth. Gabrielle kissed Ryan, and Marissa walked in on them together. She then gave it up to Luke and his giant, grubby paws out of confusion and/or spite. Marissa told Ryan he was too late to devirginize her.
Ryan stomps into the kitchen of The Big House, followed by Seth, who is insisting that the "plan is undeniable." Seth can't seem to learn his lesson about undeniable plans what with the burning of a house, the destruction of the Range Rover, and the time Luke got shot and all. An exasperated Ryan responds, "I'm denying it." Seth explains that they have his mother's Range Rover; they have a perfect alibi because he goes to the same comic-book convention every year; and they also have the credit Seth's built up by never doing anything wrong, which lulls his parents into a "false sense of trust." Ryan takes a box of Cap'n Crunch from the pantry and asks why Seth would want to throw all that away "for Summer in a wet t-shirt doing body shots." Seth pauses, blinks, and considers the visual; he then recovers, apologizing because he thought it was a rhetorical question. He emphatically insists, "Yes, Ryan. Yes." He explains that, on the last weekend before school, "one goes to Tijuana; it is tradition, and it is a rite of passage." Unless one goes every year, in which case it's more like a series of rites of passages, and that is somewhat less significant. Seth dramatically adds that "what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico." Ryan asks what exactly happens in Mexico; Seth doesn't know because it stays there, which is why they should go. Ryan is unsure about lying to the Cohens; Seth volunteers to lie for him. Ryan wonders why they can't just go to "Comic-Con," and Seth responds that Comic-Con is "basically a bunch of pathetic virgins ogling some porn star dressed as Catwoman." Ryan snarks, "Thought you went every year?" Seth shakes off the snark, and instead claims that since Tijuana is a big town, Ryan probably won't even see Marissa. Ryan insists that he doesn't "care about seeing Marissa. Or...not seeing Marissa." Seth concludes that "therefore [Ryan] should have no problem coming to Mexico," which is faulty reasoning, considering Ryan just said he didn't care about Marissa, but did care about other factors, like lying to Sandy and Kirsten. Still, Seth's right, as Ryan points out that Marissa will be hanging out with Summer. Seth thinks Marissa will "probably be shacked up with Luke," and then, as Ryan stares him down, apologizes and admits "that's probably a bit painful."
Sandy eagerly enters the room, asking if they're "all excited" about Comic-Con? He tells Ryan that Seth's been going since he was ten and that "it's the highlight of his year." Seth sarcastically thanks Sandy, claiming, "Highlight's a bit overstated." He notices his dad's suit and the fact that his hair is almost brushed and enthuses, "Big pimpin'!" Sandy explains that he has a meeting with a private law firm. Ryan asks whether he's suing one of their clients. The giant lemon and lime arrangement makes its second appearance, giving it as much face time as Caitlyn has had so far. No one's complaining. Sandy clarifies that he has a job interview. Kirsten enters the kitchen and adds, "Which he'll never take." Kirsten claims that the law firms like to flatter Sandy every once in a while, and Sandy jokes that he goes for the "free meal." Ryan is anxious about this revelation, asking whether Sandy will still be a public defender. Kirsten insists that there's no way Sandy will sell out after fifteen years, and Sandy backs her up by saying it "would have to be one hell of a free meal." Seth says, "And that's what they call a callback in comedy, Ryan." Sandy asks when the boys are leaving on their trip, and Seth pauses before turning to Ryan: "I don't know. How soon?" Ryan, cornered, slowly looks up from his Cap'n Crunch as Seth watches him hopefully. Ryan responds, "Tomorrow," and Seth's all, "Hmmm. Don't you mean "mañana?" That's "tomorrow" in Spanish. I'm bilingual that way.

George Will Takes on Jim Webb -- Only After the Election
George Will turned heads yesterday with a brutal column on Senator-Elect Jim Webb, scouring him for being rude to President Bush at a reception, and then -- in a critique sure to outrage Webb, the literary lion in his own mind -- assaults Webb's hyperbolic use of English, as in saying the rich are "infinitely" richer than the poor. Will proclaimed Webb is a "subtraction" from civility. But perhaps Will should have used a disclaimer: before the election, Will aided this "subtraction" by scouring Sen. George Allen (he "makes no secret of finding life as a senator tedious") in a Post column seven days before the election. As with the Weekly Standard and their George Allen-bashing cover this fall, when you help make the "Macaca majority," then you should look in the mirror before despairing over the man you helped usher in.
It's debatable that Webb's prickly party routine is somehow a graver assault on the civic-mindedness of the Republic than his (and the Washington Post's) sleazy personal campaign against Allen from August to November. Will's outrage seems awfully situational coming after the election, as if he's exhaling after kissing the ring of his Post bosses on a race in which they very much had a favorite. He wasn't anti-Allen at all in 2005 as he favorably assessed his presidential suitability.
I have been a fan of Will's thoughts and prose for a long while, and have a pile of his column collections in my little library. Whether you think it's good or bad, Will is not a party man or a "movement" man. He keeps his distance from, well, "entangling alliances," if we want to quote Founding Fathers. Except, its seems, for his Post family. The column saying the Mark Foley scandal is the cherry on the "Democrats' delectable sundae of Republican miseries" is rather unforgettable, even if his beginning, shellacking the religious right with Sinclair Lewis's "Elmer Gantry," is incredibly tedious. There's also the column hailing Bob Woodward's book as "Katrina between covers." Does anyone hear what one columnist once famously described as the "arf" of a tinny lapdog?
