Call Strive Dreams Body art for beautiful quality artwork in the Phoenix Metro area and Globe/Miami AZ. We have Jagua while supplies last... book your appointment now!
Some background about the artist Joanna... I have been drawing as long as I can remember. When I discovered henna body art, I became enchanted by the ancient art form. I am mystified by the ornate patterns, history, beautiful smell, cooling sensation, healing powers and the many different traditions and meanings it holds. I have been honing my skills on myself and friends since 2000. I am mostly self-taught through books, the internet, and lots of practice. As a part of my studies I traveled to Morocco and experienced firsthand a culture where this ancient art has been established for thousands of years. I also furthered my studies at numerous workshops held at the Las Vegas henna conference 2007. I continually pursue deeper understanding and skills in henna.
The henna paste I use is all natural, I mix it myself using fresh organic henna powder and the finest all natural ingredients. For pregnant bellies I simplify my recipe to include only the mildest ingredients. It always stains a dark reddish brown color, never black. I don't use black henna as it can be dangerous for sensitive skin. The pictures that look black simply have not had the paste removed yet.
I have done henna for bridal
showers, baby showers, belly dance events, ASU university, the Phoenix Tattoo and Body Art Expo, Macy's, the Phoenix Zoo, the Phoenix Children's Museum, the Science Center, the Tempe Art Festival,
parties, bar mitzvahs, birthday parties, art festivals, proms and grad nights, many corporate events, Library programs in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Chandler, back to school festivals, sweet 16 parties, pregnant women,
and one-on-one appointments. I am also open to traveling to the Los Angeles area for events.
Also available to give presentations and hands-on demos for school and library programs. Programs include a brief talk with a booklet to read along, and can include a tiny cone of henna for students to try it out themselves. I also will demonstrate small designs on participants.
I was recently interviewed for the ASU State Press, check it out here!
Call 602-432-3935 or email for more info and to book an appointment
I look forward to sharing the beauty of henna with you!
Many of the designs below are inspired by artists such as Catherine Cartwright Jones, Neeta Sharma, and Dorine van den Beukel among others...
|This diagram illustrates roughly what a henna looks like as it is born with the paste still on, turns orange then darkens to brown, ages and fades away to nothing.
The longetivity and darkness of each tattoo varies greatly and depends many things
including aftercare, skin type, seasons, chemistry, and the particular
harvest of the henna plant. The time period of the henna below was 2 weeks and 2 days,
only for reference and not a guarantee. Some last a week, some up to a month.
I work by appointment and I am often available on short notice... Try planning to receive your tattoo 24-48 hours before the time that you want to show it off most, as it takes that long to reach its full glory. The day before your appointment, moisturize your skin as usual, but on the day of your appointment have your skin be clean with no lotions or moisturizers at all, and be prepared to keep your skin away from water for 12-24 hours afterwards as the stain sets.
I also do jagua, face painting and glitter tattoos. Glitter tattoos will last for 5 days!
Jagua is an amazing natural and safe Peruvian fruit dye that works much the same way that henna does and lasts as long, but it is a blue/black color. It is the closest thing to that permanent black tattoo look that you can get that will last more than a week. The chest piece shows the color of the stain, the scorpion has the gel still on. Jagua is a gel that is applied and allowed to dry then left on the skin for 3 hours, then washed off. When it is first removed the stain barely appears at all, then it darkens over the first day or two. Hands and feet will get darker than torso skin.

From A Triple Whammy Google Penalty To $60K/mo Revenue garyviray.comSubmitted by seoteky Feb 11 2013 in SEO 9 Comments Discuss (6) |
A bit of warning. This is not for you if you have been awesome doing all that is good and great in SEO for your clients. This post is meant for all those who have been experiencing (even until now!) the wrath of Google's Panda/Penguin algorithm. This article is written for those who are still clueless not seeing the "light" yet, in spite of all their efforts to resuscitate their websites.
Matthew R. Hall, Esq @MatthewRHallEsq
Excellent case study. One of the companies I work with had the same problem, and we'd kind of given up hope on SEO. We'll be using this as a roadmap to hopefully recover some lost ground. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Matthew,
Thank you for finding the article useful. It is really does require a lot of work and patience but it will be worth it. Good luck!
Damir Vuckovic @damirvuckovic
5 months of campaign to recover from penalty, interesting. Case study oriented articles always deliver extra value to reader ... nice work (y).
Yes, It was brutal. =)
Arvin Buising @Kudlit
Excellent job Gary! Congratulations.
Thanks Arvin! It paid off. We discussed heavily this process, remember? =)
Frank Strong @Frank_Strong
Great detail in this post. No easy answers, but a good frame work for redemption.
Thanks Frank!

|Coco-Cocoa Velvet Dessert
|photo by recipe author
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 5 min, plus chilling
- 1 1/2 cups water, divided
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin (2 1/2 teaspoons)
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream concentrate
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 drops of orange essential oil, optional (use food grade or better!)- OR use 1 drop lavender oil
- 1/2 tray's worth ice cubes (7-8 ice cubes, should be 4 oz.)
Pour 1/2 cup of the water into a blender. Add the gelatin, and let sit to soften.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining water to boiling. Pour the hot water over the gelatin mixture; turn on low to mix and dissolve. Add coconut cream concentrate, cocoa powder, honey, salt, vanilla, and essential oil. While motor is running, drop in ice cubes, one at a time. Blend until smooth.
Pour into four (6-oz) ramekins, or in one (2-cup) mold. Refrigerate until set, 2-4 hours. Serve in the containers, or dip the bottoms in hot water for 20 seconds, then invert to un-mold.
If you want to un-mold it, I recommend you double the amount of gelatin.

What can I use as a coconut cream concentrate? I know there really isn't a substitute, but is there a substitute that would at least keep the texture the same?
# Posted By Kendle L. | 1/27/12 5:45 PM
Kendle L.: Peanut butter will probably work, but that will change the texture.
# Posted By Sarah:) | 1/27/12 6:47 PM
If you don't have coconut cream concentrate, use coconut milk instead of the water in this recipe.
# Posted By Rhonda | 1/27/12 11:57 PM
Kendle, from the looks of this, I would use (as a substitute for the coconut cream concentrate, AND the water) 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk.
This looks to me to be a geletinized chocolate milk. Sounds yum; I think I'll try it. :-)

thank you so much for posting this recipe! since going GF/CF, i have missed custard/pudding so much. i can't wait to try this...i know my husband will love it :)

Has anyone substituted chia seeds soaked in water for the gel and more nutrition instead of the gelatin?
I'm waiting delivery of my products -- a total novice.
Also, how would virgin coconut oil be substituted for the cream concentrate?

Martha, you could use chia, but the texture would be entirely different, more like tapioca. I've done that, and it is good.
No, coconut oil is not a substitute for coconut cream.

PS Martha- Dont presoak the chia in water...add them to the coconut cream and water as listed above...or add them to premade coconut milk (dry chia). They will soak up the liquids, and gel.
# Posted By Thia | 6/25/12 3:15 AM
Thank you, Thia. I should have ordered the coconut cream too. Now there's a limit of $16 so I'll have to wait for a while til I see how it goes with using the oil and chia seeds.
# Posted By Martha | 6/25/12 3:39 PM
Martha, in the meantime, try using coconut milk (or any type milk) instead of the water & coconut cream. :-)
# Posted By Thia | 6/26/12 2:52 AM
Coconut milk works perfectly well in this instead of water and coconut cream. (I submitted this recipe, and have made it both ways.)
# Posted By Rhonda | 6/26/12 4:04 PM
Would this work without the honey?
# Posted By Keira | 7/18/14 10:09 AM
Keira: Yes, and it depends. If you just leave out the honey, there will be no sweetness to it. The original recipe I had called for table sugar, so you can sub that in. I haven't tried it with stevia but it seems like it'd work.
The mixture will set up a little firmer without honey, since honey is about 20% water, or add 2 Tbsp extra milk or water to compensate.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will buy The Washington Post for $250mm cash. Whether or not this is a good deal remains to be seen, since, according to The Guardian in 2012:
The Washington Post Company's newspaper division has lost money in 13 of the last 15 quarters. Total loss over that period: $412m. The latest quarterly figures reveal a $23m loss and a 7% drop in revenue. Indeed, revenue has now slithered down in 20 of the last 22 quarterly returns. Last year's annual figures show it at $314m, a third less than in 2006. Print advertising has shrivelled by 53% in that period. As for digital ad revenue, and supposed salvation, that's down too – by 8% in the new returns. Amazingly, it too has slipped back over the past five years.
It's doubtful things have improved for The WP since 2012.
Buying legacy newspapers that are losing money has become something of a hobby for rich guys in recent years. Sam Zell bought The Chicago Tribune and the L.A. Times in 2007 and failed miserably in his attempt to turn the papers around.
And Friday, we learned The News York Times Company sold The Boston Globe to Red Sox owner John Henry for a measly $70 million. The NYT Co. bought the Globe back in 1993 for $1.1 billion. It doesn't look like those values are adjusted for inflation, so we're looking at a decline of price in 93 percent in nominal dollars. It would be worse if in real dollars. (93 percent? I had to double check my math on that.)5:10 pm on August 5, 2013 Email Ryan McMaken

GoRuck Challenge coming to B.I.
They're coming, and they're bringing bricks.
But if you hear strange voices and see groups of dark figures moving around the island all night after midnight Friday, Oct. 12, you don't need to fear a riot. They're most likely participants in a GoRuck Challenge, who will have bricks in their backpacks — but to carry, not throw.
GoRuck Challenges are grueling military-style physical and mental endurance tests, and they're also voluntary team events that participants claim are fun.
GoRuck is a manufacturer of military grade rucksacks and other endurance equipment, all made in Bozeman, Montana. Owner Jason McCarty was a Green Beret and is an Iraq war veteran. He also has an MBA from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
McCarty has taken his Green Beret and educational experiences and used them to build the successful company. He also dreamt up and developed the GoRuck Challenge, and set up the Green Beret Foundation, which provides unconventional support to wounded Green Berets, their families, and Gold Star family members of killed Green Berets. A portion of the fees for the GoRuck Challenges is donated to the foundation.
Each GoRuck Challenge event is led by one or more Green Berets, called a cadre. A map of the United States on the company's website, www.goruckchallenge.com, shows that events have been held in almost every state of the union. Challenge participants who weigh over 150 pounds carry six bricks, those under that weight, four. They also carry all the food and water and anything else they think they might need for the duration of the event, which could run from 12 hours to four days.
Christine and Kevin Zelenski, island visitors who have participated in several of the events and organized the details to get this GoRuck to Block Island, said of the challenge, "It is, quite literally, [among] the hardest things we have ever done."
The Block Island challenge will last anywhere from eight to 15 hours and, said Christine Zelenski, "We have no idea what to expect. All we know is that we will be running around the island, carrying heavy stuff, and will not know when it will end."
There will be approximately 30 participants for the Block Island event. Not only do they not know the details of the exercise beforehand, which are planned by the cadre in charge, they are told the exact spot to meet only four days before the event.
What happens during a challenge? The GoRuck website states, "Our Special Operations Cadre teach every class what a team feels like, how to stay cool under stress, and why camaraderie in Special Forces is so high. In our estimation, people are good, and capable of much more when they work together, for each other." Training is similar to that used in training Special Operations Forces.
The Zelenskis were not sure there would be room for additional people in the Block Island challenge, but anyone interested in this or future events can go to the website to contact GoRuck.

That may be an understatement after we just finished up hosting Craig Alexander, the current Ironman Triathlon World Champion at our San Diego sports medicine center for the Triathlon Club of San Diego's January club meeting and the kick-off event for the Competitor Magazine's Endurance Sports Awards weekend.
The event was a huge success with over 300+ triathlon club members there to hear the Craig Alexander interview with Bob Babbitt of Competitor Magazine and John Duke of Triathlete Magazine.
My highlight?
While there were a lot to choose from, including a surprise appearance by 6-time Ironman World Champion Dave Scott, and a great interview by Bob and John with Craig Alexander; my highlight was the triathlon club's presentation to club member Skip Gleavey and his comments that he gets up every morning and pushes himself because he doesn't want to let other club members down. That's a outstanding statement coming from someone who serves as a role model of persistence, inspiration and never-quitting. If you don't know Skip's story – read about it here.

However, he is happy for co-actor Kritika who had made the show popular, "Kritika was the face of the show and had been shooting for it for more than a year. It's her individual decision and we all respect it. She has her own personal reasons for taking a break� it happens with some people who feel they are not growing in their career, they want to experiment or they just want to rejuvenate!"
As for Sharad who is currently hosting Shaitaan on Colors says his happy-go-lucky nature ensures that he has no problems in life, "I may miss the show for not more than one week after which I will move on. I never get into depression. I enjoy life like anything and can be happy in any situation. 99% people love having me around. I have not even planned my next move career-wise. There have been offers but they are not so attractive. I will accept something only when my heart says 'yes'. And of course, if there is a Season 2 of KTLK I will definitely do it."
What he has planned though is a quick trip abroad, "I have Europe on my mind. I am planning to take Keerti out for 10-12 days which is a much needed trip as of now" concludes Sharad.

Dear Readers,
Will miss you as Dr. Ashutosh and KTLK. Hope to see Season 2 as you are brilliant in this character. The subtlety and nuances with which you play this role makes it a beautiful experience go the audience.
Kuch Toh Log Kahenge was losing the TRP ratings war big time!
So, no matter what excuses the the 'Sony' people give, the truth is that people had stopped watching this show and the advertising revenue had dropped drastically...
Make your own mind up!
Dr. Ashutosh is a very conscientous citizen. He wanted to report Daksh's eveteasing of Nidhi to police in the initial days. He is the one who quit going to the conference & arranged for his wife's security after her attempted murder. He did not reprt the attempted rape on the behest of Bharadwaj... Its A pity that some ppl are just watching KTLK to bash SK... It takes a lot of courage & verve to play a senior actors replacement! SK did very well inspite of all the brickbats thrown out to him. If at all there will be a season2 it willl be only him in the male lead...nobody can replace his deep voice & intensity! None in the tellyworld! Therea not even a single person out there. There may be highly good looking hunks out there but not as intense as SK.

There is a difference in acting a criminal and eminent citizens in a serial shown neglecting their duty to report attempt to rape and murder to the law enforcing agencies ...TV as a medium has a far reach and PH / CH /Actors should behave with responsibility and not be shown condoning crime and receiving accolades from would be criminals ! I am surprised that viewers do not see the difference . I am not afraid to be bashed and would not hesitate to say that those who accept these acts also share blame for this . It is not about being a fan of any actor or against any ..it is about insensitivity ..and all those who perceive , produce ,act ,support this are equally responsible ...as I would be if I did not protest ! It is only about being a responsible Indian ! I am surprised others can not see this and are bent on taking it to an actor vs actor level ..it is not so ...every Indian needs to register a protest ! i am protesting at all levels and will continue to do so ...with my own identity ...not hiding behind a fake name !
Edited on:16 March 2013 at 10:10am
Sharad sir bigger salute for ur dedication towards this lovely show please come back with season 2
Love Sharad Kelkar & Kritika Kamra ( KritSha ) sooo much :D
keep rocking :))
I agree that serials should be more responsible towards their storyline but what I cant understand is the comment from
ex Ashu fan!Why is
shecommenting here! MBhimself played the role of villain & rapist ]all the time in films.He
should have refused such roles in
films too afterall this also
effects the impressionable brains.Talk of double
standards.I'm surprised this lady
]is still watching the show
although they all claim that they
have quit watching the show 1
year]back!Wow!Madam if you feel
so much about the issue then
please comment on channel or
PH's website & do something
worthwhile instead of making it a
issue here! Or is it a clever way
to talk about season-2:D
Films also have a greater reach so shifting all the blame on tv speaks of your hypocrisy & are you planning to go & comment on other actor's TB articles too to protest or is it that SK is special:D
Edited on:16 March 2013 at 8:09pm
Apologies for raising this issue here ..but need to share my angst with current KTLK episodes which I watched after MB quit for the first time to see how a great serial when it started was going to end ! It is shocking to see anyone ..with the Nation in the grip of an uprising against rape ...be involved with a show showing 1) a responsible Dr not reporting to the police an attempt to murder and rape and 2) totally forgiving and allowing this man to garland him !!!! NO serial can show such irresponsible stories and no actors should be associated with such a storyline ...SK / KK along with RS / KP /SONY ...this is indeed shameful ! You owe the nation an apology ...not a season 2 !!
Edited on:14 March 2013 at 9:25pm
Love you so much Sharad Kelkar. You did a wonderful job as Dr. Ashutosh in Kuch Toh Log Kahenge. Kritika Kamra & You made a gorgeous couple AshNi.
Hope to see you soon with Kritika Kamra in Kuch Toh Log Kahenge season2. Best of luck always.

1. Touching My "Head"
Richard Lang
A common objection to headlessness is:
"I can't see my head, it's true, but I can touch it, so I do have a head here!"
Let's explore this not through debate but through direct experience.
When I touch my 'head' I see my fingers disappearing, followed by the experience of touch sensations.
Touch your 'head' now. What do you experience?
Are those sensations happening on the surface of your head – heads are solid, coloured, shaped things – or in spacious awareness?
For me they're happening in spacious awareness.
Here's Douglas Harding on this subject:
"And if it occurs to me that all this is very visual, and that I can actually feel this solid thing here, filling up the seeming void at the centre of my world, why then I start stroking and pinching and pummelling this thing. Only to find it still isn't any thing at all, let alone a pink and white and hairy and opaque and all-together-in-one-piece thing. Instead, I find a succession of touch sensations that are no more substantial than the sounds and smells and tastes and so on, which also come and go in the same space." (from On Having No Head)
Of course I've learned that a particular sensation manifests to others (or to myself when I look in the mirror) as the appearance of my mouth, say, or my ear, and so on. And of course it's vital to know this. It means I understand there's a direct correlation between what I feel here and my appearance over there. Without this understanding I couldn't function in society. But this understanding, as much as it is vital for living in the world, doesn't make me into a thing here at centre, separate from every other thing.
If sense-data are literally inside the brain we are committed to the conclusion that they are always smaller than the things to which they belong, (or else) that our own head is very much larger than it appears to be from touch. H.H. Price
2. Touching Things
Steve Munroe
Not only do we 'take on' the appearance of what we see and hear but we also take on the texture of whatever we touch - as we can now see by doing this quick experiment:
Extend your index finger and touch any object or surface that's close at hand. It can be anything - the chair, the carpet, your clothes, anything.
What is it that can be sensed here?
Is it a case of feeling the tip of your finger and the object being touched? Or rather, is there only one sensation present, that of the object at hand? The texture of the cloth, the smoothness of the wood. In fact isn't it true to say that the tip of your finger has magically transformed itself into the object you are touching? Your finger tip is that object! Your finger tip has to be empty of itself so that it can take on the texture of the object. In fact the same is true of all your skin over all your body, and of course, of all your senses.
Here is another way of showing ourselves our real and true nature, that is, emptiness for the world to happen in.

Comments on this experiment
To know a thing is to become it. Erigena
The whole great Earth is nothing but you. Hsueh-feng
All knowledge is, in the strict sense, assimilation. St. Bonaventure
The proper consideration for one of highest spiritual capacity is the absolute unity of knower, knowing, and known. Gampopa
A sudden perception that Subject and object are one will lead you to a deeply mysterious wordless understanding - you will waken to the truth of Zen. Huang-po
Bodhisattvas are able to expand their bodies to the ends of the universe. Gandavyuha Sutra
For a Self-realised being the body does not exist. Anandamayi Ma
Unform thyself. Tauler
After contemplating some of the touch experiments on the website I made a small discovery of my own today which you might find interesting...
If I rub my hands together I find I am all fingers and thumbs. If instead I close my eyes and explore my left hand carefully with my right - caressing the fingers, exploring the spaces between, touching my finger nails, my wedding ring - I find my left hand takes solid shape while my right hand disappears completely! The amazing thing is that if I then explore my right hand with my left, I find (on the other hand) that my left hand now disappears in favour of my right. Not only now without a head, I have also lost a hand -
though I can't tell which. I wonder if I shall lose myself completely?
In these days of much hand-wringing this a useful pointer to my true nature which I can practice anywhere without arousing too much suspicion! Mark.

Hire a Home Inspector to Know the Current Condition of the House You want to Buy
Moving is not an easy job to do. There are many things that you have to put in your mind. When you have to move, you will have a new place to live. It means you will have a new house in your new place. You can buy the new one or get the second-hand house for sale. The choice is yours. It depends on how much money do you have to buy the house. The second-hand house is the great choice if you want a house with lower price. You can look for the information about the used house for sale in the city where you are going to move. The quick information will be easily found through the internet.
To get the best choice of house for sale, you need to read carefully the advertisement. If there is phone number or email address that you can contact, ask as much as information that you need to know about the house. The advertisement words can talk too much about the house. Calling the owner or the seller is just the half way to get the deal. Inspection is the step that you have to take to assure you about the house condition. No one is perfect. If you do the inspection by yourself, it is very possible that you miss a lot of important things that you need to know related to the house. You can hire an inspector to check the real condition of the house that you want to buy.
In US, there are many companies that provide the inspection service for the house buyers. If your next living place is in the Dallas City, Texas, you can contact Spec-pro.net. It is the company of home inspector Dallas TX. The home inspector will give you the newest information about the current condition of the house that you want to buy. The information will help you to determine the next step whether you are going to buy the house or not.

Rap-Up TV: T.I. Receives Beyoncé's Blessing for Remix
The King, T.I., held court with the Queen when he remixed Beyoncé's "Dance for You" earlier this year. But he first he got approval from Bey herself. He called up Pharrell, who happened to be in the studio with the "Single Ladies" singer, and asked if she supported his idea to add a verse.
"That very night, I did it and got it back to them, and they gave me the nod of approval and I ran with it," Tip told Rap-Up TV.
T.I. is aware that Bey has a new album on the way and he's more than willing to help out. "She has full knowledge of the fact that if she needs me for anything that I am there at the drop of a hat," he said.
Another superstar he hopes to reconnect with is Eminem. While the two haven't spoken since Tip returned from prison, don't be surprised to see more collaborations between them in the future.
"The comraderie we have, the mutual respect, it allows and enables us to do music in abundance," said T.I., who worked with Em on "That's All She Wrote" off his 2010 album No Mercy. "All we got to do is get together for a short period of time and you'll have a lot of music."
The rapper-turned-actor also revealed that he was up for a role in the comic book blockbuster Iron Man 3, but a scheduling conflict prevented it from happening. "My dream movie is an action-comedy," shared Tip, who stars in the upcoming comedy Identity Thief with Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman.

What do you think of the name Ives?
What middle name would you pair with it? I'm having trouble finding something that flows with that pesky s on the end!

I think it would go over much better in a French speaking area. I have a French-Canadian friend who married a Chinese woman. They named their son Yves... it took a long time for all of the English-speaking foreigners to get it down. I feel like it's a name that you more often see written than actually hear used. I'd personally use it as a mn. Otherwise, it just seems most natural paired with a French name... like Yves Pierre...Emiliana Pari Debuts July 2014Soren Pasha, Caspian Bardia, Raphael

Valuation of Contingent and Disputed Liability
An integral part of any solvency opinion is the valuation of items such as contingent liabilities including pending litigation, guarantees and other claims that may impact the solvency opinion. The valuation of these items is not always obvious and in some cases is at odds with GAAP. The approach to valuing these items is a blending of corporate and bankruptcy law, accounting standards, economic analysis and valuation theory. The panel examines these issues along with the instructive case law in the area, and discusses the care that is required when mixing such elements with the facts and circumstances of the matter at hand.

Standard of Value
The federal code (and similarly state law) define "insolvent" as a "financial condition such that the sum of [the] entity's debts is greater than all of [the] entity's property, at a fair valuation..." 11 U.S.C. § 101(32)(A). Fair valuation is not defined in the bankruptcy code. How does fair valuation for solvency differ from fair market value which is used for valuation for income tax purposes? Or fair value which is used in shareholder oppression matters? What are the implications of using trading prices for the assets versus assuming continuity of operating within the existing legal entity? What are the differences it could create in measuring the cost of capital? Or contingent liabilities?

Gallatins Revenge: Sovereign Debt Sustainability and Valuation in the Modern Era
Albert Gallatin was the longest-serving U.S. Secretary of the Treasury (1801-1814) and came into office as a professed anti-Federalist, ardent proponent of fiscal responsibility, and vocal opponent of Alexander Hamiltons financial policies. However, Gallatin failed to accomplish the Jeffersonian objectives of shrinking the national debt and eliminating taxes, as he was forced to finance a war with Great Britain and the purchase of the Louisiana territory. Gallatin also supported the First Bank of the United States and proposed federally financed infrastructure projects. Consolidation, it seems, is complicated. A discussion of the early history of sovereign debt in the U.S., in particular the roll-up of the obligations of the colonies into the newly constituted federal government, the role of the First Bank of the United States, and the political challenges of managing the debt. Sovereign debt sustainability and valuation in the modern era, focusing on governments ability and willingness to pay, the role of central banks, and a potential resolution to the euro area crisis, will be addressed.

Multi-National Restructurings: A Comparative View of Select Jurisdictions
The core of restructuring in the United States is the value of the entity at various points in time. The valuation of the post-restructured business plan is one of the most contentious yet essential components of restructuring. In the U.S. valuation takes on a strategic and tactical significance. It impacts the form of restructure, sale v. reorganization, and going concern v. liquidation. This panel contrasts approaches used by other jurisdictions around the world.

Valuation, Restructuring and Taxes: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
A bankruptcy reorganization or out-of-court restructuring can significantly impact tax attributes such as NOLS and basis. The existence of and ability to use such attributes after a reorganization or restructuring often affects value. Two common issues must be considered with regard to a transactions impact on such items: the reduction of tax attributes and limitations on the ability to use tax attributes. The topics addressing absorption of tax attributes include discharge of indebtedness income, attribute reduction, stock-for-debt exchanges, debt modifications and elections. The loss-limitation overview includes a look at § 382, special bankruptcy § 382 rules and trading restrictions.

Implications of Valuations from the Board of Directors Perspective
Valuation can be a squishy thing. This panel examines how valuation analyses and disputes can be shaped and impacted based on the shifting positions and perspectives of directors and their advisors. Minority investors may push back on management's projections; special and independent committees may change board dynamics and influence views regarding valuation inputs; interested parties without a direct line to the board may attempt to influence valuation through litigation or posturing. These and other scenarios can greatly impact how directors view and utilize the valuation process. Such scenarios can also have a significant impact on professionals advising regarding valuation. To whom does the professional owe fiduciary duties? How should the shifting board landscape impact the professional's advice? Must the professional seek direction from parties outside the board?

Ah, spring. The trees are budding, the daffodils bloom. It's time to get out in that glorious country around us. And time to watch out for ticks. Valley View Hospital is reminding residents that hungry tick are everywhere at this time of year and they're looking for human meals.
Rocky Mountain wood ticks are found throughout the Colorado mountains, and are especially abundant on sunny, south-facing slopes covered with brush or other low vegetation. They are a dark reddish brown with a white shield covering the front third of the body. Only 1/16 of an inch long, the tick may grow to 1/2 inch and turn a grayish color when engorged with blood. They emerge in March and actively seek humans and other animals for a blood meal. The highest risk of being bitten by a tick is during the months of April, May and June.
Ticks carry a variety of diseases. In this area, the most common threat from ticks is Colorado Tick Fever (CTF), with 100 cases reported each year. CTF is an acute viral illness characterized by fever, headaches, body aches, nausea, abdominal pain, and lethargy. These symptoms last four or five days, followed by an apparent recovery. Then the symptoms return for two or three more days. Complete recovery often takes two or three weeks. The disease is not life-threatening and infection results in lifelong immunity.
Colorado Tick Fever is caused by a virus carried by the wood ticks. The virus is transmitted to humans when the ticks bite us to obtain a blood meal necessary for their growth and reproduction. Studies have shown that a tick must be attached to the host for several hours in order to transmit enough of the virus to cause illness. If infected, a person will become ill in four to five days.
Less common is a serious bacterial disease known as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which can be life-threatening. The early symptoms are similar to CTF, but a rash develops on the extremities and spreads to the entire body. An average of two cases per year are reported.
If you become ill after a tick bite or exposure in tick-infected areas, see your physician. There are diagnostic tests to differentiate CTF from more serious diseases.
Preventing Tick Fever
Mountain residents are all at risk of exposure to Colorado Tick Fever. According to the Colorado Department of Health, there are three easy ways to avoid being exposed:
- Avoid areas of high tick infestation from April to June.
- Wear protective clothing and use insect repellents. Wear long pants tucked into boots or socks. Insect repellents containing DEET can reduce the number of ticks climbing onto a person. The insecticide permethrin can be applied to clothing only (not skin) as well.
- Conduct regular tick checks. The most effective way to prevent exposure is to search your entire body and remove ticks. You should search every two or three hours and it helps to have friends check each other's backs. Pay special attention to the hairline on the back of the neck, especially on children.
Tick Removal
Ticks have mouthparts with fishhook barbs to piece the skin and maintain a firm grip. Ticks also secrete a cement-like substance to hold them to the skin.
To remove them:
- Use tweezers to grasp the tick's head as close to your skin as possible.
- Pull the tick straight out, using firm, steady pressure. Do not twist or yank the tick.
- If you do not have tweezers, it is better to wait until you can use them than to use your fingers. But if you must use your fingers, cover your fingers with tissue paper or a leaf to avoid contact with the tick juices.
- Do not prick, burn, or try to smother the tick. These methods may cause the tick to regurgitate into the bite wound, increasing the chance of infection.
With spring beckoning us into the countryside, a little mindful attention to tick prevention can keep us healthy to enjoy the warm weather. You can get more information on Ticks & tick bites at: MedlinePlus®Tick Bites and at Kids Health.

I'm going to try and only eat veggies and fruit for one week and only drink h2o as a way to get my body reved up for weight loss, here goes!

1. Get down to 128 pounds.

2. Budget money and pay my debts
1 person
3. I am going to stop binging. I will stop eating before I am full and I will not eat if I am not hungry

4. Lose 10 kilos
1 entry
453 people
5. Eat only fruit and vegetables for a week
1 entry
15 people
I like this goal because I see that somone else has tried and she finally acheived it! I think her diet is very suitable, cutting out the bad foods and calorie counting. I am going to exercise everyday and I am going to really slash my calorie intake and up my h2o intake. I hope I can really start to see some changes within as litte as a week, but I'm going to give myself the full 2 months to down to size. I think that I could lose (including water weight) a little over 3 kilos a week…I just need to stay dedicated.
For the past 3 years, I have used my weight as something to hide behind or use as an excuse for why things wernt going my way. I would get frustrated or stressed about something and then binge on food as a way to comfort myself. I would then look at myself in the mirror and think how disgusting or hideous I was, thus starting the cycle over and over. My friends and family could tell that when my weight balooned, I wasnt myself and I wasnt fully happy. As I gained weight I began to forget the good things about myself, or why people liked being around me, and I would pull away.
Instead of addressing my real problems, I would simply blame it all on the way I looked. After a long time of reflection, I have realized that my problems stemed from my drinking, drug usage, and not wanting to take responsibility for my past actions. Now that I have taken the steps to fix this, I want to lose the weight that I gained over the past 3 years. I feel that when I see my family and friends again at Christmas they not only will see how I have gotten my life together, but also how I respect myself by taking care of my body again. Bottom line, I want to look as good as I feel and I think that I have the tools and motivation to do it! This is important to me and I want to succeed.
My plan is to basically Calorie shift and try to eat a few small meals throughout the day. If I can avoid sweets and desserts, I usually can control myself in the kitchen.
Current weight: 140
Goal Weight: 128
