Dear Switch Readers,
When Switch started in 2005, the premise was to inspire women and girls to work with technology and give a voice to those who are changing the way we live, work, and play through unique products and projects with a female focus. Most of the pieces have focused on my love of fashion technology, a.k.a. "wearable technology." Now, in 2014, you can hardly go a day without a new wearable device popping up on your mobile newsfeed. It's the hottest trend in tech and it's buzzing everywhere from Silicon Valley to Paris, from Intel to Ralph Lauren.
While all the "buzz" was going on, I started a fashion technology company, Switch Embassy. I've been deep in the throes of the daily entrepreneurial grind. I let iHeartswitch.com take a backseat and pitching investors or potential clients take over my attention. I have learned so much and it has been somewhat unsatisfying without you, Switch Reader.
What's the point of learning all these amazing things and going through the work and hardship, if I can't share it with others who can learn from it?
In my race to make the best company and innovative products, I gave up the thing that I love. I had forgotten that my work had any influence and felt lost in the deluge of all the other wearable excitement. For this, I apologize.
I was reminded of my passion to share a number of times, over the past two years. It wasn't until a young woman named Thea Koullias, from Jonlou, approached me at Wearable World and said to the man I was talking to, "Don't know you know who this is? Alison, I've read all your blogs and watched your videos! You're one of the reasons you got into this [fashion technology]."
I was humbled.
Today, I hope you will welcome back spontanous blog posts from iheartswitch.com. On top of the wearable technology and passion projects, I will share the ups and downs of starting a company as a "designy" woman in a very "techy," male-dominated world.
All my Love,
AlisonContinue Reading »

I was searching through my favorite fashion technology blogs and found some designer solar bags way back in 2010. Elle Magazine teamed up with designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Rogan, Loomstate, and Vena Cava to create ELLE/Portable Light Project bags. The bags are to were auctioned off on Ebay to support the Portable Light Project. Most looked amazing, some were just technology stuck to an old bag design, like DVF. My favorite is the one above by Rogan.Continue Reading »

The thing about fashion and technology is that it isn't about the technology at all. It is about sharing, augmenting, and expressing who we are as human beings. Technology is a tool, albeit sometimes a powerful tool, but it is not a replacement for what is in our hearts and what we desire.
So when Diane Von Furstenberg put Google Glasses on her team and models this year, this was something I had to see. I'll be the first to admit, I was skeptical seeing Google Glass on the runway. The glasses look frumpy and cold. But, a look past the ugly frames of technology and you can find inspiration. Watch below.
"When I was younger, I didn't know what I wanted to do, except the woman I wanted to be. I wanted to be on the go, and to be able to pay my own bills and I so much wanted to be independent. My goal in life is to tell every girl, every woman, that they can be the woman they want to be" - Diana Von Furstenberg.Continue Reading »

The only designers that impact our sensabilities as a culture try something totally new, work with unique materials, and challenge our idea of fashion and wearability.
Paco Rabanne is one such designer.
In 1969, the same year as the Moon Landing, he presented the world with a haute couture collection made up of metal and plastics (seen above). I am impressed by the video and find it reminencent of the kinds of designs that we find today with Iris Van Herpen and Hussein Chalayan.

El Ojo del Tigre
- Style:
- Height: 35m
- Bolts: 22
- Description:
Risn' up, straight to the top, you'll have the guts, you've got the glory, went the distance, just a man and his will to survive. An endurance of hard, pumpy, climbing. Only those who jog up the steps of the Capital building, train extra hard and wear sweat pants will survive. With three very separate crux areas, El Ojo del Tigre is an endurance spectacular. You will find all three of the cruxes come at each of the three major roofs on the route. The first is no more than three meters from the ground creating an early pump. The climb continues on good holds and even becomes forward leaning at the beginning of the first light coloured patch. Before the roof at the first light coloured patch of wall, clip a mentally committing bolt before approaching the second crux. Manage through the main crux, a sloper overhang move to a hard bump before you can muscle your way over the roof. Do not fret there are jugs to come, but only momentarily before you reach the larger light coloured patch of the wall and the final crux. Completely overhanging off the lip, falling off here due to pump is not uncommon and allows for sizable airtime. Once you have commanded the final crux, climb first to the right for a bolt and then up to the left for two more bolts and then the anchors at the vegetation line. It is recommended to utilize extended draws for bolts directly under each roof section as rope drag can become an issue. Also, I would recommend tying a knot in the end of your rope as to avoid losing the belay. A 70m rope just squeaks in enough length to go the distance. 70m rope required

As a longtime volunteer I have been priveleged to witness the extraordinary efforts the wonderful staff and volunteers of this organization makes to rescue, provide veterinary and basic care, and train and socialize unwanted and/or abused animals and adopt them into loving homes. The escape of the stray cat is an unfortunate accident, but I'm certain the staff did everything possible to recover the animal. I find it a bit disturbing that someone would disparage an organization that does so much good for the animals and the community, without public funding, based on one negative experience.
More feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?

A court in India has sentenced seven ex-employees of the Indian unit of US chemicals firm Union Carbide to two years in jail after finding them guilty of negligence over a deadly gas leak that killed thousands in 1984.The court on Monday also ordered those convicted to pay a fine of $2100 each for the disaster that struck the central Indian city of Bhopal.
Rights activists, however, said the ruling was a classic case of too little, too late.
The Union Carbide plant had accidentally released toxic gases into the air on December 3, 1984, and the government says around 3,500 people died as a result in the immediate aftermath.
About 15,000 more died due to the lingering effects of the poisoning over the years.
According to rights activists, 100,000 residents living in the vicinity of the plant suffered chronic illnesses, and thousands of children were born with deformities and still carry the scars of the disaster.
Long trialMohan Tiwari, the chief judicial magistrate, pronounced the verdict in a packed court room after a trial that had dragged on for 23 years.
Keshub Mahindra, currently the chairman of India's top utility vehicle and tractor maker Mahindra & Mahindra, was the highest ranking person convicted for causing death by negligence and culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Mahindra was chairman of Union Carbide India Ltd (Ucil), a unit of Union Carbide, at the time of the accident.
An eighth accused, the ex-assistant works manager, died during the course of the trial.Those convicted can appeal to a higher court, a process that in India can take years.
However, there was no word on Warren Anderson, the then chairman of UCIL, who was declared an absconder after he did not subject himself to the trial in the case that began 23 years ago.
The verdict applied only to Indian officials of the former Union Carbide's Indian arm while separate cases have been filed against the company and its overseas officials.Union Carbide had settled its liabilities to the Indian government in 1989 before being bought over by Dow Chemical.
Narayanan Madhavan, an editor with the Hindustan Times daily, welcomed the verdict despite the long delay.
"It is good in a sense that it is establishes a sort of landmark precedent for future action on corporate accountability," he said.
"Activists have accused the public prosecutors of being not strong enough. On the other hand there is a technical issue of how much one can charge somebody of negligence. Of course there is the issue of comparing the safety standards applied in the US and those in India.
"In terms of the corporate accountability issue, the verdict is considered one step forward."
'Big joke'
Rachna Dhingra, a Bhopal rights activist, however, said the ruling would mean little to the gas victims.
"It is actually going to be nothing. What is it? We are looking at maximum punishment of two years or a fine. If that's not the biggest joke, then I don't know what is.
"There's nothing to be happy about," she said.Bhopal victims have received less than half a million dollars in compensation.
Dhingra said $470 million has been distributed to half a million victims, "which means each victim got around $1,000 for lifetime injury".

Long-Term Care Ombudsman
Posted By alz05 On August 27, 2010 @ 3:57 am In Treatment Care | No Comments
What is a Long-Term Care Ombudsman?
A Long-Term Care Ombudsman is an advocate for residents of assisted living facilities and nursing homes, as well as board and care homes. Ombudsmen provide information about how to find a facility and what to do to get quality care. They are trained to resolve problems and can assist with complaints by working directly with the facility staff to solve the problems or by making referrals to the appropriate agency. Any information shared with the ombudsman is confidential unless permission is given to use the resident's or complainant's name.
The word "Ombudsman" is Swedish for citizen representative. The ombudsman is not a staff person of the facility; he or she is resource for consumers, residents, their families and friends who need help navigating the complicated long-term care system. Under the federal Older Americans Act, every state is required to have a Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program that addresses complaints and is the resident voice in the long-term care system. The District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico also have long-term care ombudsman programs.
The ombudsman's job is to be the voice of the resident on an individual level in resolving complaints and on a system-wide level by representing the needs of residents in laws and regulations about long-term care. Ombudsman visit facilities on a regular basis. Consumers can also call the ombudsman for information or help.
According to the National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Resource Center, the programs do the following:
How can I find a Long-Term Care Ombudsman in my state?
Use our Resource Locator [1] to find a Long-Term Care Ombudsman in your area. You can search by specific address, city, state, or ZIP code.
A great resource for more information on Ombudsman is The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Resource Center. They provide resources for residents looking for an ombudsman as well as training and support for the ombudsmen themselves. They have a great search function that provides state-by-state contact information for a variety of government services, including Ombudsman Offices:

Put More Strings in Your Writing Bow
7 comments:
Great post.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed SUCKER PUNCHED tremendously. I read it the first night I learned of it. The price was good, too. Thanks. I was pulled in from the first flurry of fists, and didn't come up for air until the surprise and resonant ending. I hope there will be more.
I'm looking forward to seeing the comments today on your "string theory." I've been exploring the use of short story as another string, particularly as a vehicle to bridge from one novel to the next - use of back story with a secondary character as the protagonist, publicity for the next novel, dual use of research, etc.
I hope some of your readers will comment on use of the short story from the perspective of the novelist.Replies
Thanks for the kind words about the story, Steve. As for the use of short stories, you probably know that many "A List" authors are using short form digitals to fill in "gaps" or do backstory, etc. A good move UNLESS it appears to be nothing but a marketing ploy for an upcoming novel. Then readers will pummel the author. Every offering needs to stand on its own vie-a-vis quality.Delete
So, yes, explore. That's the nice thing about having digital. We can try things.
At the moment, none. I'm unpublished on all fronts.ReplyDelete
But that's about to change. This year I'm planning on self publishing a series of novellas. It's going to be in episodic format, much like how TV is structured, with one long arc to be completed at the end of the season.
I am very excited this short form is now viable. I've always had ideas that fit into series, but I've often felt concerned that I would set it all up only to get the book rejected or the series cancelled.
Shorter forms are good for improving your craft, too. It's not the same thing to write a novel, but it's less time to write a novella, edit it profusely, sent it to an editor, and edit it some more. I think it has the possibility on boosting your writing skills exponentially.
I've been reading a ton of wonderful books on self publishing, and I'm very excited to be able to be in control of my writing career like this.
I plan to continue work on my novel length fiction and submit it to agents, but in the mean time I'll have another string in my bow, already out there and building my audience.
Thanks for the wonderful post!
And thanks again for Self Publishing Attack! It's been one of my go-to books on the subject.Replies
Elizabeth, this serial idea is gaining popularity in digital. I do think the challenge will be the wrap up, just as it has been for TV shows whose last episodes have been less than satisfying.Delete
Glad to hear you're pursuing traditional full-length fiction but, at the same time, looking at self-publishing shorter work. So many possibilities for writers now.
Yes, I think wrapping everything up in a satisfying manner is one of the hardest parts. Also planning enough out that I have a clear direction, but not so much that I'm trapped in a storyline.Delete
At the moment I'm using Write from the Middle, as well as the doorway method you talk about in Plot and Structure to give me some plot points to hit but keep things open in the middle.
I've always loved the idea of serial fiction, so I'm glad I can take advantage of it. :D
Thank for "Sucker Punched" - looking forward to reading it soon.ReplyDelete
I am indie releasing my debut medical thriller "Nerve Damage" within the month. It has been professionally edited (Jodie Renner) and is the product of years of writing and study (including more than 30 courses at the Loft Literary Center, your books and "Story Masters" conference held in Mpls).
I sent one query to an agent on an author's recommendation but have otherwise planned on indie release from the start.
I'm unsure whether this is my first string or perhaps the launch of my first arrow? I hope it finds appreciative readers!
I've followed TKZ for several years. Thank you for providing guidance and writing wisdom. I much appreciate it!Replies
Welcome to the stream, Tom. If a book has the goods it will find readers, and vice versa. It may be a trickle at first, but keep feeding it with new, quality material. That's really the only "secret."Delete
Have a little fun, too. My Gallagher stories are fun for me to write, so I hope they're fun for the readers as well.

GUD Holdings Limited, manufacturer of the Sunbeam-brand appliances and Victa lawnmowers, announced a 63 percent increase in reported net profit in the year ending June, 30 2004 to U.S. $35.5 million from $21.8 million in 2003.
Directors announced a 53 percent increase in the final dividend to $0.23 per share from $0.15. "The strong profit growth has come from our major business units and reflects a number of positive internal initiatives and buoyant trading conditions. We've achieved our goal of delivering double-digit profit improvement," Managing Director Ian Campbell said.
According to the company, the strong growth in sales in Sunbeam and Victa resulted from a combination of Sunbeam's continuing active new product development program and Victa benefiting from recovery in the mower market as drought conditions eased.
In a growing small appliances sector, Sunbeam increased market share growth came from coffee machines, electric blankets, portable heating, and irons. The company said the closure of a New Zealand electric blanket factory and future supply arrangements enabled Sunbeam to access new technology electric blankets and to supply a more cost competitive traditional product.
The company said continued introduction of new products and categories under the Sunbeam brand should ensure sustained profit growth in 2004.
Additionally, Victa launched a revamped range of mowers for mowing contractors and developed and marketed a new product for export markets. With more normal seasonal conditions, further new product activity, export growth, and a lower cost structure, the company said Victa should generate solid profit growth in the next year.

HTC 7 Pro handset photographed, reveals Touch Pro2 style QWERTY keyboard
The usual suspects are on board here, including a 1GHz processor under the hood and a 3.6 inch screen with 480 x 800 resolution. The phone sports a 5MP camera with AF and flash that can capture video at 720p. 8GB of native storage is on the phone and keep in mind that the platform does not allow you to expand memory with a microSD card.
Take a look at the keyboard and see if it brings to mind the QWERTY on the HTC Touch Pro2. When the latter came to market in 2009, the keyboard was considered one of the best available at the time and now, more than a year later, this looks to still be true.
source: IntoMobile
The HTC 7 Pro is equipped with a landscape oriented QWERTY keyboard that resembles the one on the HTC Touch Pro2

i have the touch pro2 but i do not think i want to consider buying another windows phone

i have a TP2 also and the keyboard is fantastic. it's a shame HTC is only using this for WP7.

How long before xda-developers puts Android on it?

Its already out in Android OS as the HTC desire Z.

I love my TP2... On Verizon... Even though it is outdated by todays standards it is still a great phone. Yes it is not snappy. Yes the load time is longer than a few seconds. Yes occasionally it freezes. But it is still a great and fully capable phone.
Imagine if this phone had better hardware to work with... A stronger processor, and you would be amazed at the differences. That is essentially what WP7 is, a revised OS equipped with very capable hardware. It brings the best out of operating systems made by anyone.
And quite frankly I don't like iOS - too restrictive. Android is great, BlackBerry is very reliable. I think WP7 is everything I loved in my WinMo 6.5, only better. I am going to go with WP7, as a business-centric man I loved my BlackBerry, but my WinMo 6..5 phone has some features that you wont even believe!

"HTC 7 Pro handset photographed, reveals Touch Pro2 style QWERTY keyboard"
This is old news. Next time show a video of it in action. I have a Touch pro 2 with Sprint and its a great phone with flaws like SemperFiV12 explained. I will get the Htc 7 Pro for Sprint when it comes out, but I only see very little difference in the design of the phone. The Windows Phone 7 OS on the other hand is very nice but just like Apple IOS, it has restriction. One main feature I would love for the phones to have is to be able to read infomation of the memory card from other application when you plug it up to the USB port in the PC. I hate the Zune sink feature but the Zune player is itself is nice.

Red Engine Cayenne Skinny Jeans 135 135
Very skinny I really, really wanted these jeans to work for me. They didn't. Good-looking jeans, they just were too small all over. I wear GH size 6 in pants - 28 equivalent for these, but based on reviews ordered a 29. Nope - too small. The waist worked but the legs were too toothpick-y for my normal size legs. I didn't even try size 30, I just think they aren't meant for me and since that is my only point of reference I couldn't give them lots of stars. November 6, 2014
Love these jeans! These jeans are wonderful. They feel great with some stretch in the fabric. They hug your legs but are not uncomfortably tight. It's easy to slide boots on and they look very current. November 1, 2014
Beware: Hand Wash Only I was shocked to realize these were hand wash only. Also, the navy is really shiny! October 25, 2014
Needed a second pair I bought the summer stripe Red Engine jeans earlier this summer. What a fun pattern. The stripe looked great in a skinny jean and I received lots of compliments on them. It was my first time wearing Red Engine jeans and I am sold. In fact, I ordered the shorts after wearing the pants and they are equally soft. I liked the stripe well enough to return to buy a second pair, just in case I stain these, I wanted a stash. I couldn't believe that they still had the stripe in stock, they are so cute. They have washed well and not shrunk. I'm 5'6" at around 133 and I liked the fit. I washed them on cold and have not noticed the dye bleeding as one reviewer noted. October 20, 2014
Well fitting skinny jeans As others noted, these are tight, but they have a very flattering fit. I was able to use my usual jeans size. The Dark Indigo color is made of a thinner, soft denim. I like the higher coverage on the back, it does add to a really good overall fit. Great looking, comfortable pants. October 10, 2014
way too tight Great fabric and very comfortable, but I need to send these back. They go on, but they are too tight all over. Too low and too "young" for me. September 17, 2014

Can Country Music Make a Comeback on New York Radio?
Artists like Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift (left), and Carrie Underwood have made country music stronger than ever. The Country explosion is part of today's reality TV. Blake Shelton is a judge on NBC's The Voice, and the multi-platinum selling Keith Urban just signed on for season 12 of American Idol. Country music is one of the most popular radio formats with more than 2,000 stations playing that music across the "country." It accounts for approximately 20 percent of all commercial music formats nationwide. Despite its popularity, the genre hasn't cracked the New York market for years.
Each time an FM station flips format or purchases a New York City dial position, the new opportunity for Country is overlooked.
In our examination of the lack of Country in the nation's top market, FishbowlNY gets the thoughts of former New York City Country DJs, a veteran radio programmer, and a current program director at a Country station on the outskirts of Manhattan.
First, some background.
New York, which has been in the radio biz for more than 90 years, has had just a smattering of full-time Country stations. WHN made the flip in 1973. Prior to that, only WJRZ in neighboring Hackensack, New Jersey, and Mineola-based WTHE, gave listeners the Nashville twang.

(202) 514-2007
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service have continued their vigorous criminal tax enforcement and civil injunction efforts against people who engage in tax fraud and other forms of non-compliance with federal tax laws.
Since 2001, the government has successfully prosecuted hundreds of tax cheats and promoters of abusive tax schemes; it has sought and obtained civil injunctions to stop the promotion of tax scams and the preparation of false and fraudulent tax returns; and it has continued to identify and pursue any company or individual who used an abusive tax shelter, while, at the same time, pursuing the professionals who designed, facilitated, or accommodated the underlying tax shelter transactions. These efforts have continued during 2005 and 2006.
The Department of Justice is committed to using all available law enforcement tools to recover tax revenue, punish tax offenders, and to prevent future misconduct, said Eileen J. OConnor, Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division. People who promote, facilitate, or engage in plans or schemes to avoid reporting their income or another persons income are risking penalties and, where appropriate, criminal prosecution.
The vast majority of Americans pay their taxes honestly and accurately, said IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson. With the help of the Justice Department, the IRS holds those who dont accountable.
Tax Shelter Enforcement
During the past year, the Justice Department and the IRS have significantly increased their enforcement efforts against the promoters and facilitators of abusive tax shelters. Abusive shelters for large corporations and high-income individuals have cost the federal treasury more than $10 billion annually, according to Treasury Department estimates. The Tax Division also had notable successes in federal court defending the federal Treasury against tax shelter-related claims of large companies and individual investors. Among the successes in this area are the following:
Criminal Prosecution of Tax Violations
During 2005, the Justice Departments Tax Division authorized prosecutions against 1,256 defendants for tax crimes, an increase of more than 43 percent over the 877 defendants authorized for prosecution in 2001. The Tax Divisions criminal enforcement priorities include investigating and prosecuting schemes that involve:
Civil Injunctions
The Tax Division continues to bring civil injunction suits to stop illegal tax fraud schemes and tax preparers who habitually prepare bogus tax returns. In response to the governments suits, courts across the country have barred tax preparers from preparing inaccurate returns and promoters of tax fraud scams from selling tax-evasion schemes on the Internet, at seminars, or though other means.
Since January 2001, the Justice Department has sought and obtained injunctions against more 170 tax return preparers and promoters, including 66 since January 2005. It expects to obtain many more throughout the year. The United States recently has obtained injunctions that barred the following schemes:
The Department of Justice also has obtained injunctions against employers who fail to withhold, account for and pay over employment and withholding taxes and against return preparers who prepare false returns.
Our injunctions suits enable us to stop the harm caused by the promotion of tax fraud schemes and the preparation of false tax returns, said Assistant Attorney General OConnor. By taking action, we minimize the number of people who get caught up in these schemes and help to assure that everyone abides by this essential duty of citizenship—the duty to pay tax.
Coordinated Civil and Criminal Proceedings
The government brings both its civil and its criminal tools to bear in the fight against tax fraud. An ongoing tax scam causes continuing harm to the federal Treasury and it leaves participants owing taxes, interest and, often, penalties as well. The government does not wait until a criminal case has been developed to take action to stop the scam. Rather, the Justice Department brings civil injunction suits to stop both the promotion of tax scams and the preparation of false or fraudulent returns. Additionally, in appropriate cases, the Justice Department brings criminal charges against the promoters, preparers, and scam participants to punish them for their unlawful conduct.
Further details about these and other tax enforcement cases are available on the Tax Divisions website http://www.usdoj.gov/tax/index.html, on the IRSs website http://www.irs.gov/, and on the IRS Criminal Divisions website http://www.ustreas.gov/irs/ci/.
The Department of Justice encourages anyone who has information about suspected tax fraud to report it to the IRS tip line at 1-800-829-0433.

Dueling with the new Onslaught of the Fire Kings Structure Deck is a lot like a one-sided game of "king of the hill". You bring out Fire King High Avatar Garunix, and then it obliterates everything that tries to depose it. Nothing can destroy Garunix without suffering terrible repercussions, and that's what the Fire King strategy is all about!
Each Fire King has an effect that activates when it's destroyed. Garunix has two! And while normally your opponent will have no problems with trying to destroy your monsters, they may need a little encouragement in this case. And failing that, you can just do it yourself! Onslaught of the Fire Kings (the card, not the Deck) can Summon a Fire King from your Deck and then destroy it during the End Phase, triggering its effect. Or, you can pull the old switcheroo with Circle of the Fire Kings. It'll let you destroy a Fire King on your field and revive one from the Graveyard at the same time.
When Garunix is destroyed by a card effect, it comes back during the next Standby Phase and reduces all other monsters to ashes. So you want to have as many ways to destroy it yourself as possible. Bonfire Colossus from Cosmo Blazer can be Special Summoned if you have a FIRE monster and destroys two of your FIRE monsters when you do so. This sets up Garunix to return on the next turn and fan the flames of destruction all over your opponent's monsters.
But that's not all! There's also a Trap called Kickfire that builds up power when your monsters are destroyed by card effects. Build up enough power, and you can use Kickfire to wipe out your opponent's Life Points in one shot! Destroying your own monsters may seem like a weird way to win, but if you're the type of Duelist who's willing to do whatever it takes, Onslaught of the Fire Kings is right up your alley!
Onslaught of the Fire Kings Structure Deck is out now! Pick it up today!

Hi, girls. We're backstage at Carlos [unknown] doing some hair with Rodney today.
So, the look for Carlos is very, very natural, very simple. His clothes are so beautiful that we wanted the hair to be very simple, elegant, feminine, Brazilian. So, we're starting with a couple of volumizing spray to add a little bit of weight to the hair but it's not sticky, you gotta blow dry it through with a round brush to get that cuticle nice and smooth. Then what we're using a large, a medium to large curling iron, starting at the ends and rolling it to the roots. That will create a softer, and a flatter look at the top which is a little bit more modern. Then we're finishing with the cut, the flyaway stick at the root and a definition cream to make it look a little bit more luxurious and, you know, [unknown]. We're gonna brush it a little bit with a brush but a little bit with the hands. So, just [unknown] a beautiful feminine feel to it. Very natural. It's gonna be beautiful.

Rate Dr. Gerald A. Feuer
Dr. Gerald A. Feuer's Ratings
I was being treated for a GBM (Glioblastoma Mutliforme) brain tumor, we had to wait for a year for my hysterectomy, but having had worked with Dr. Feuer as a nurse before, I trusted no one else. He is wonderful, great bedside manner, and since I had acclimated to my pain medications with the brain tumor, he didn't even hesitate to upgrade my pain medications, which was a huge comfort both physically and emotionally. Now, to be clinical and blunt, his methods for preparation for surgery are different BUT will spare the patient so much in the long term, I am talking, ladies about, bowel prep and other things we don't like to talk about, but let me as a nurse assure you, he is VERY thorough and overly concerned about your overall comfort and success, he is simply awesome and I am so glad I trusted him from the start. I didn't even know about this review site or I would have given him a thumbs up 2/8/2013 when I had my surgery. No complications, I followed all my orders, so I am doing GREAT, thanks to this wonderful doctor!

Dr. Feuer is a surgeon...a robotic surgeon. If you want different treatment, go elsewhere! He is awesome at what he does. He was caring and answered all my questions. I saw him before surgery and right after. I did not see him again until my follow-up. I don't usually see him on my visits (and there are many after cancer), I see the PA. It doesn't bother me to not see him...I wanted him to do what he does and do it well...get rid of my cancer using the robot. He did that and 3 1/2 years later All is well. His billing staff is not extremely communicative, which is why I gave a 4 for that, but the rest of the staff is great. If you're looking for a genius w/the robot, go to Dr. Feuer.

I read the comments good and bad prior to my first appointment with Dr. Feuer. I was pleasantly surprised. Dr Feuer was sensitive to my feelings, uplifting, positive. He was very direct about my condition and he recommended we proceed. He took time to answer all my questions. I like him. He made me feel hopeful. His Nurse Amie was a blessing. She was very kind and made sure I knew exactly what to expect, was sensitive to my anxiety, she was very patient with me. I never felt rushed by either of them. Dr. Feuer did explain that he can not always be at the hospital when its time for discharge, but explained that one of his nurses would be there to discharge me if he could not. The only person that I found to lack any personality or compassion is the receptionist that you meet at the window when you first enter Dr. Feuer's office. My surgery is tomorrow and I am confident I made the right decision going to Dr. Feuer.

MD was highly recommended to me by GYN. MD was knowledgeable and answered my questions. Surgery performed and everything is fine. Only time I ever saw MD was at consultation. I never saw him prior or after surgery, only his assistants. Even goiing every 4 months for follow up i see his assistants only. Biggest issue was no assistance from office when handling insurance issues and has some questionably billing practices thru SEGO. Now he is on his own and things are musch better.

Very knowledgable doctor and staff. They walked me through the entire process end to end and answered all of my questions. Made sure that I was comfortable before and after the surgery. The surgery was a success (cancer free) and after 8 weeks I'm feeling great and back to my normal routine. Truly appreciated the staff's hand holding and care that was given day 1 through post surgery. Thank you!

Very arrogant and dismissive to my questions and concerns. I wanted to discuss options and the only option he offered was robotic surgery. Says he's done the most. No wonder, operates on everyone. Get another opinion before having operation. Seems more interested in getting you into the operating room than helping you.

Very excellent physician (needs to review his notes prior to seeing a patient or have the notes in front of him is only weakness, so he can speak coherently about the right patient). Very competent staff is always available with whatever question is asked. Caroline and Susan go out of their way to relax "rattled" patients. The scheduler of procedures knows her "stuff". The two front office ladies are awesome and quickly take care of what is needed so the patient can proceed.

Dr. Feuer is an exceptional gynecological oncologist. My mother was given only a few months to live until we found Dr. Feuer. Three years later, she is cancer free and is living a relatively normal life. Ovarian cancer is not curable, but manageable so Mother has chemo once a month, and it has kept the disease under control. Mother tolerates the chemo extremely well. We cannot thank and praise Dr. Feuer enough. He is a skilled surgeon and also kind and gentle and has a great bedside manner.

I would recommend Dr. Feuer. I recently just had surgery, I think he is a great Dr with a excellent team behind him. Even if you don't see him every day during your hospital stay he make sure a Dr on his staff is there to see you every day and to answer all questions.

Dr. Fuere's assistant Aimee was not very helpful. On my 1st visit, I was left in the conference room and forgot about, when I finally got in the room to be examined, it was so quick and was left again. Once I came out the room to find out when someone was coming back, all the staff had left except 1 lady. I came back on a 2nd occassion and recieved the same treatment, so I subsequently am in the process of finding another Dr to perform my surgery. I pray his assistant is in no way a reflection of him and his work, but I will never find out because unfortunately, you have to get through her to see him, so he has lost this patient.

Wheelie Bin Danger
Asthma link to late bin pickup-News-UK-TimesOnline
HANDLING rubbish that has been left out for a fortnight before being collected can increase the risk of health problems including asthma and nausea, a study has found, writes Steven Swinford.
Researchers found that the level of bacteria and fungal spores in the air above bins that had not been emptied for two weeks was more than 10 times that in locations where there was a weekly collection.
The findings come amid concerns about the public health risks of cutting collections. More than 140 councils in England have moved to fortnightly emptying to encourage recycling and cut costs, despite warnings of an increase in rat and insect infestation.
The spread of fortnightly collections has also raised fears about fly-tipping. Government figures show incidents rose by over 10% last year.
And it is not just the binmen who are exposed, as you try to squeeze the last bags of rubbish into your bin it forces the rancid air from the bottom out, straight into your face. But than that rubbish collection was a public health measure has long been forgotten.

Nokia's ambitious plan to use bikes as phone chargers
It's the kind of product you usually have to buy from a company specializing in green tech. Nokia has unveiled its plans to produce a phone charger that will charge your cellphone as you cycle around. Weirdly, it's cheap to boot.
Why so cheap? Because Nokia is aiming at developing countries with its bike-powered phone charger, which would be a boon to areas where electricity is sparse. Besides saving you some change on wattage, its $18 price tag makes up for the fact that you might not be using it as much as you'd like. It really depends on how much you bike.
If successful in the developing world, Nokia may bring it to European markets later this year, and then maybe — we hope — the company will give North America a shot. What do you think — any takers?

7 Days from Death; ENTRY FIVE
- Comments (0)
- Recommended (2)
- View profile
This is entry five of several entries that I plan on publishing into a book. It's a personal journey of loss and learning. I decided it needed to be as raw as the experience was...had someone else wrote something similar I would've surely taken the advice with me on that plane to Arizona. Remember, you're only as strong as your experiences; sometimes even stronger. This is as far as the story has taken me thus far; needed a breather. If for any reason you'd like the first 4 entries just message me and I'll get them to you:)
7 Days From Death; PART FIVE (please contact me if you'd like the first FOUR)
The two days of funeral guests came and went but my father stayed with me for about a week after the funeral; this was necessary. There's something sacred between the last surviving parent and the children. I cannot say what it is, it just "is". A couple of days after my father left, I was sitting on the couch in my living room, the kids were at school, the husband at work, the TV was off. For about 5 seconds but felt like 5 hours, this unexpected horrifying feeling of fear and loss came over me; the only way to describe it would be like when your 4 years old and you lose your parents in a grocery store? Yah, it was like that. It was dreadful, panicky, almost uncontrollable…and it ended just as quickly as it came. Crying for about 10 minutes that followed, I remember thinking I will NEVER forget that feeling…EVER. I've prayed since that it doesn't hit again. It's funny you can remember these little 5 second episodes, but you can't remember anything else. I do know it was Spring when I left for my mothers, and then it was late summer; somehow 7 days turned into 5 months. Looking around myself I see proof of things accomplished during that time; but have no memory.
Also remembered is the first warm sun. I was in the yard, possibly breaking ice off the driveway? Or maybe I'd just walked to the mailbox; either way, the one tree that grows next to the drive has a root system that slowly inclines from the yard to the base of the tree; allowing the area just around the tree to have grass before some parts of our yard have even melted the snow. I'm not sure what came over me, or if at last everything dropped out of me, but I felt that first shot of warm sun, saw the grass under that tree and just laid there for what was surely an hour or longer. I can't say that I ever remember the sun feeling that good. It was almost as if my mother's Leo soul had showered itself down that day and embraced me as I lay there. The look on my husband's face was priceless when I retold the story to him, he wasn't quite as convinced that the ground was thawed enough to be lying on it! I do remember having to come in and change my clothing because the backside of me was one big mud slide. And so it was with the Spring, I gardened aimlessly, planted hazardly, and by August, was in complete confusion as to the state of my yard. It's as if a stranger had come in, planted things, plucked things, left a pile of yard waste and gone! I giggle now as I watch shoots of "something" coming up in strange places around my house. Husband says "oh look, the whicha-ma-jigs you planted there last year are coming up" and I'm like "M,hm". This is usually my cue to say "Oh yes, it's the Anastasia Lily's" or "those are the climbing roses". The year after death I have no cue because I honestly don't remember. This year, my answer will just be M,hm.
So, I'm not as good at keeping dates as the "Angel of Vengeance", but I do know it was roughly a year to the date today that I flew out to Arizona and started this whole journey. Some days it feels like yesterday, some days it feels like 20 years ago, and often, it doesn't feel like it happened at all. During those times I laugh in my kitchen, disbelieving the absolutely stupid thing I'd just done, and grab the phone to call my mom to tell her about it and…oh. Or, the kids give me the most difficult day and during those times I'd call mom and she'd calm me, so I go to grab the phone and…oh. Or, I had the most glorious day with my husband because he's done something like bought me an entire wagon full of "whicha-ma-jigs" and I need to know what side of the house to plant them on so I grab the phone and…oh. It makes me want to open up a "mom's not really dead" 800 line for those of us that would call our mom's with such things, or for those of us who call our mom's for absolutely no reason at all. Does there ever really have to be a reason? I know now that no, there doesn't have to be a reason and I should've just called every day no matter what, for absolutely no reason. I just should have…
So, I'm now here, one year later and the pain is still just as heavy on the chest, and a tear is always laying just on the edge of my duct ready to fall if given the "cue". Honestly, I can get through more days with less difficulty, but when a difficult day hits, it's just as bad as the first difficult day, one year ago, 7 days from death. The difficulty can only be compared with the pain of dilation from childbirth, when you're at 10 the contractions are so intense there is no word to describe them, you never forget "10". You may forget 4 or 6, and it seems after two kids there is no 7,8 or 9, just 4-6 and AHHHH 10, and it hurts just as bad with every child, but each time it becomes a bit more tolerable, yah, that's kind of what it's like. So never let someone tell you it gets easier, or the pain becomes less because it doesn't. As I said, you just get more of a breather in between and you learn to celebrate, calm down or laugh to yourself since there is no 1-800-Call-MOM hotline. Yup, that's exactly what it's like.
In the year of mom's passing I've done a lot of things she would've been very proud of; things I know she's proud of as she looks down on me through each ray of sun that illuminates my being. I haven't been fortunate enough to have "the dream". You know, the dream that everyone gets from their loved one; the dream when they visit and their so real you could just touch them? That one. My sisters have had it; everyone I know that's lost a parent has had it, so why haven't I had it? Each night I lay down praying for "the dream", each morning I wake disappointed. Though I've never been known to nap, I do now! Sometimes several times a day…just waiting for the dream and it never comes. Hopefully by the end of this book I will have had the dream.
