Guest Book
Thanks for visiting. On this site you can check out songs from my two CD's:
Simon Leahy's Daughter
(2006) and
Time Again
A life science marketing professional by day, I've had a passion for music and playing the guitar since I was very young. After much soul searching through my late teens and early twenties, I started writing songs as a way of expressing myself artistically and philosophically. I grew up listening to classic rock with my all time favorite bands being Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but I appreciate and respect great music from every genre and have always been especially inspired by artists like John Lennon, Bob Marley, Johnny Clegg, Public Enemy, Rage Against The Machine and others who take a stand for truth and justice through their songwriting and artistry. The combination of
meaningful lyrics with awesome rhythm's and melodies is what inspires me the most, and it's what I strive to achieve through my own songwriting.
Artistic expression is the oldest and most universal form of communication we as human beings share. When you think about it, art transcends every language, religion and cultural boundary, and artists have always played an important role in conveying new ideas, and helping societies to evolve and change over time. Creative works beget new creative works that reflect the knowledge, aesthetics and controversies of the time in which they are born, and often they speak to the future in new synthetic ways that can be profoundly inspirational and trans-formative.
This is not to say I have any illusions of changing the world. I do not. But I do believe that every individual can make a difference, and if you happen to be blessed with a particular talent and passion, I believe you owe it to yourself to develop that talent and to try to put it to good use while you can. At the end of my days I am resolved to have no regrets for not having done so, and regardless if anything ever comes of it, I will continue to play my guitar and write and record my songs for as long as I can. And in so doing, if I can bring joy to others and perhaps give voice to causes I believe in, and dreams that I and so many kindred spirits share, that would be tremendous. And if I can inspire others now or in the future to follow their heart and passion, to contribute in their own way and try and make a difference in whatever way they can, then all the better.
Please sign my guestbook if you'd like to share any comments or would like to learn about any upcoming performances, and thanks again for visiting.

I have just been prescribed Clomazepam as a sleep aid to be taken daily to replace Lunesta (which I became tolerant to). Do you think this is a good substitute? Right now, when I go to bed with Clomazepam and Lunesta (at a lower dose), it's lights out. I wake up once in the night but I'm right back to sleep within an hour.
Can you take Clonazepam Daily as a Sleep Aid for long term?

Hey decdogluvr,
Yes, clonazepam is a good medication to help you sleep at night. While you may become dependent on it as with any benzodiazepine, taken as directed it is a good alternative to Lunesta. Unfortunately over much time, you can become tolerant to the clonazepam too. I wouldn't worry about that at this time though.
Good luck and sweet dreams,
Laurie, If I become tolerant to Clonazepam, they can increase the dose to help, correct? Also, do you know of anyone that has taken it daily with much success?
Yes, the doctor can increase the dose if you become tolerant. I have not taken clonazepam for sleep only for anxiety. I can't recommend anyone to you, sorry.
10 Apr 2011
I have been taking clonazepam for a while now for anxiety. I am suppose to take it 3 times daily, but only use it for sleep.It can be increased if it stops being effective. What dose are you on?
It has worked great for sleep, but Klonopin makes me a bit depressed. No other benzo has caused this with me.
Even with one .05mg at night, I have begun to show some dependency. When I tried to not take any, I had severe insomnia. Be careful on the stuff, as clonazepam is very long acting and strong.
30 Jul 2011
I have personally been taking Clonazepam (Klonopin) for about two (2) years. As I (now know that I) have suffered from severe anxiety for the vast majority of my life (I am now 48 years old, but--through counseling--I realize that I've had anxiety issues since I was a kid), my general practitioner prescribed it for me (initially) to help me sleep. As a matter of fact, I came to my doctor about insomnia, which I had suffered through for at least 10 years. I had tried every OTC medication I could find, and they either didn't work; would allow me to fall asleep, but I couldn't stay asleep for more than a couple of hours; or they would make me very, very tired, but still the sweet relief of sleep would never come... I'd just be more exhausted than I already was.
27 Feb 2013
My GP added Klonopin 0.5 after he first put me on my first SSRI (tying to control my migraine headaches) because the SSRI made me very nervous. This was 1998. I've been on it ever since. I am suppose to take 1 in morning and 2 at night for sleeping. I only take it now if I feel I need it. But yes it is very good for night time resting. I'm glad I read your post, maybe I have a tolerance to it now because I've been on so long. I would like to somehow stop this medication as I am on a lot of others now due to my Bipolar. So yes I think it's good.

Israel-Lebanon border clash kills five people
Three Lebanese soldiers and an Israeli officer have been killed in the first serious border clash since Israel's 2006 conflict with Lebanon's Hezbollah.
A Lebanese journalist also died in the fighting. Lebanon says troops opened fire after Israeli troops entered its territory. Israel denied the charge.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would respond "aggressively" to any attack.
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said militants would not "stand idle" if Israel attacked again.
In a speech transmitted via video link to thousands of supporters massed in Hezbollah's stronghold in Beirut's southern suburbs, Sheikh Nasrallah said his militants had been ready to fight in the border clash, but that he had ordered them to stand down to avoid an escalation.
This appears to have been an incident between regular Lebanese troops and the Israeli army.
It would perhaps have been more serious had this been a confrontation between Hezbollah forces and Israel, as was the case back in 2006.
Israel's traditional foe along this border is Hezbollah. Hezbollah is known to have re-armed with missiles ever since the 2006 conflict and the big fear here in northern border area is of a resumption of the battle between Israel and Hezbollah.
The fact that Israel has not put towns and communities in the area on a state of high alert yet is perhaps an indication that Israel does not expect this to escalate further.
However, he warned that future violence would be met with violence.
"From now on, if the army is attacked in any area where the resistance has a presence or a say, the resistance will not stand by idly. We will cut off the Israeli hand that reaches out to attack the Lebanese army," he said.
Sheikh Nasrallah's speech was a scheduled appearance marking the four-year anniversary of the end of the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel.
The US and the EU have urged restraint on all sides.
The Lebanese army says Israeli soldiers crossed the border to uproot a tree which was blocking their view near the Lebanese village of Adaysseh.
A Lebanese army spokesman said troops had fired warning shots and Israel had responded with fire from artillery positions and helicopters.
The Lebanese army confirmed to the BBC that three of its soldiers had been killed and four wounded. The al-Akhbar newspaper confirmed that one of its journalists, Assaf Abu Rahhal, had also been killed.
In a statement, Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri said Lebanese sovereignty had been violated.
However, UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon said later on Tuesday there was no evidence that Israeli soldiers had crossed the border, the BBC's Wyre Davies reports.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement: "Israel has responded and shall respond aggressively in the future to any attempt to disrupt the calm along the northern border or to harm residents of the north or the soldiers protecting them."
Restraint urgedAn Israeli army spokeswoman told the BBC that two officers had been attacked by "snipers from the Lebanese armed forces" in a "well-planned ambush" during maintenance operations on Israel's side of the border, near the town of Kiryat Shemona.
Israel-Lebanon border
- Known as Blue Line, it is not a formal international frontier, but in practice is accepted by both sides
- A UN team drew up the Blue Line based on 1949 armistice line, itself based on 1923 border between French-mandated Lebanon and British-mandated Palestine
- Heavily fortified and scene of frequent tension
- Israeli troops crossed border in 1978 and occupied parts of southern Lebanon
- In 2000 Israel withdrew its forces in accordance with UN resolution from 1978
- Hezbollah cross-border raid led to 2006 conflict
- UN brokered ceasefire after 34 days
- Lebanon and UN force now control southern area
Earlier, the head of Israel's Northern Command, Maj-Gen Gadi Eizenkot, said the officers had been standing between 300 metres and 400 metres from the border, observing Israeli soldiers removing bushes near the border fence.
"Sniper fire was directed at their position and as a result two commanders were injured as a result of the firing," he said.
The dead officer was named as Lt-Col Dov Harari, 45. The Israeli captain wounded along with him was "critically wounded" but was said to be in a stable condition in a Haifa hospital.
Maj-Gen Eisenkot said he believed the incident was "a one-time event". "We received requests and demands from the highest ranks in the Lebanese army to cease fire," he added.
The UN peacekeeping force stationed in southern Lebanon, Unifil, has urged both sides to show "maximum restraint" following the clash.
Announcing it was in touch with both governments, Washington said it was "extremely concerned" at the violence and urged "maximum restraint" from both sides.
"The region has enough tension as it is," US state department spokesman PJ Crowley said.
"The last thing that we want to see is that this incident expand into something more significant."
EU foreign policy chief Baroness Ashton urged both sides to take "immediate steps" to prevent "a further escalation of tension or any form of further violence".
Israel's Haaretz newspaper said the incident could have been caused by one of the sides misidentifying the correct location of the border.
The exchange comes a day after rockets were fired at the Israeli resort of Eilat.
A stray rocket killed one person in the nearby port of Aqaba in Jordan.

Re: Cleaning Metal and Stainless Anything fast?
I use AutoSol - it's a cream and it works very well - lots of stuff can be done simply by wiping it on and leaving it, even overnight. Then come back & buff. Sometimes you have to put some effort into the polishing.
Whenever I can - that tillerhead for example, I remove anything that blocks easy access - removing the tiller and bolts would make that job MUCH easier.
I spent a couple of hundred to get a proper long shaft polisher - effectively a bench grinder with extra longs shafts and big buffing wheels. It works like magic for polishing metal but the pieces have to be removed from the boat. Anyone restoring a boat would be well advised to get one - it gets used as much as any power tool I have except maybe my drills. That tillerhead would take about 5 minutes to be smoothed out, shiny and like new.
I think you can get very cheap ones from Harbour Freight in the States.
I, myself, personally intend to continue being outspoken and opinionated, intolerant of all fanatics, fools and ignoramuses, deeply suspicious of all those who have "found the answer" and on my bad days, downright rude.

As Roger perjures himself, with Congressional testimony, ESPN and the media have a new whipping boy. Thank goodness.
You wouldn't believe how happy I was when Bobby Knight resigned on Tuesday and became the new top story. And now Clemens/NCAA/NBA will at least dim down the Pats attention during the off-season.
Sorry, but I can see the link to the Patriots situation very easily here. The thread deals with Spygate and how other stories can get it off the top of the news. If it dealt with the intricate details of those stories, then I would be inclined to move it. Sorry, it's just a judgement call. If any anyone else feels differently, I respect that.
Peripheral at best, Shmessy. It's already drawing baseball posts, and is totally unrelated to Specter's crusade. :bricks:
....and Bobby Knight posts. I understand, and it's a tough call, but if it veers into becoming merely a thread about one off topic subject without any real connection to the Pats, "I'll be the first to move it" (sounding passive-aggressively like Shula . But as I see it (and I could be completely wrong, I understand) it looks like a thread saying, "Hey, there are some other stories that may get Spygate out of the headlines, whew!".
I think it's a good discussion to have and it definitely relates to the Pats. Someone always needs to be the focal point of everyone's hatred and anger and the media will oblige. I honestly don't know how BB or any human being could be built to cope with being the national focus of so much negative energy.
I've wondered that myself, but then the answer comes pretty quickly: He is able to insulate himself. He has an inner circle of strong supporters, including Kraft, and has the ways and means (he's a rich man) to "get away from it all" when he feels the need.
The only part of SB week that I thought went over the line was on SB morning when Arlen Specter went on National TV and Radio calling for Tom Brady to be brought into Washington to explain himself. Anyone wonder why he didn't mention BB? Because he was TRYING TO INFLUENCE THE GAME. BB would have been a far more direct person to investigate, but Arlen wanted to influence the game. THAT was messing with a QB's head on the day of the big game, and was beyond the pale. Honestly, I can't believe the media isn't in an uproar over that obvious abuse of power.
The thread is perfectly appropriate--I turned on espn radio for a minute this morning and they were talking about Clemens and I thought the exact same thing. The sad reality is had the Patriots won there would have been a frantic search for something to throw against the Pats. Since they lost, nobody cares anymore. It's damn cold comfort, but at least that crap is going away.
As much as it doesn't belong here, it belongs less in congress. None of this is the business of the government, so I think it affects us until the Congress is shamed into doing their jobs instead of meddling in games.
Pedro Martinez is chipping in too in taking some attention away from the Pats. He and Juan Marichal apparently "introduced" a rooster or two into the ring at a ****fight in the Dominican Republic yesterday. It's all the rage on the talk radio I get in CA. "Why isn't this similar to Michael Vick's involvement in dogfighting, blah, blah, blah".
The thread appropriately points out that the media survives by ruining, to the best of their ability, people's lives and that guilty until proven innocent is their creed and the lifeblood of their industry. Belichick and the Patriots will always be labeled as cheaters by the haters ... the media has ensured it.
That was my intent - its time for the witch hunt media to move on to their next soap opera. I mean enough of Walsh! The Pats lost and hte season is over!

Automatic Typing Hypnosis Script
Typing speed is usually built up with repetition, however for some this may seem an impossible task.
As with riding a bike, driving a car, playing the piano and many other tasks it is the practicing that makes the skill automatic and once this has happened the subconscious mind usually takes over to enable us to perform effectively without even thinking about what we are doing.
However, many people seem to have mental blocks which prevent this from happening.
Usually this is the 'conscious' thought interrupting the process, which is why your clients will need to use hypnosis which bypasses the conscious (thinking) mind in order to make appropriate changes.
This Automatic Typing hypnosis script from Hypnotic World can help your clients to increase their typing speed and build up their confidence in their own ability.

Perhaps the only thing that changes more rapidly than technology in today's amped-up digital environment is the terminology used to describe that technology and its impact on consumers--and marketers. One recent example is the advent of the term "omnichannel" marketing, which many struggle to differentiate from another relatively recent term--"multichannel" marketing. Still, those who are most enmeshed in the field say there is a key distinction between the two, and it's one that will have an impact on marketers as they continue to seek ways of having a meaningful impact on the consumers they hope to engage. And, importantly, it's less about technology than it may seem.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Calcium channel blockers (CCB), calcium channel antagonists or calcium antagonists[1] are several medications that disrupt the movement of calcium (Ca2+) through calcium channels.[2] Calcium channel blockers are used as antihypertensive drugs, i.e., as medications to decrease blood pressure in patients with hypertension. CCBs are particularly effective against large vessel stiffness, one of the common causes of elevated systolic blood pressure in elderly patients.[3] Calcium channel blockers are also frequently used to alter heart rate, to prevent cerebral vasospasm, and to reduce chest pain caused by angina pectoris. N-type, L-type, and T-type voltage-dependent calcium channels are present in the zona glomerulosa of the human adrenal, and CCBs can directly influence the biosynthesis of aldosterone in adrenocortical cells, with consequent impact on the clinical treatment of hypertension with these agents.[4]
Despite their effectiveness, CCB's often have a high mortality rate over extended periods of use, and have been known to have multiple side effects.[5] Potential major risks however were mainly found to be associated with short-acting CCBs.[6]
Dihydropyridine (DHP) calcium channel blockers are derived from the molecule dihydropyridine and often used to reduce systemic vascular resistance and arterial pressure. Sometimes when they are used to treat angina, the vasodilation and hypotension can lead to reflex tachycardia, which can be detrimental for patients with ischemic symptoms because of the resulting increase in myocardial oxygen demand. Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers can worsen proteinuria in patients with nephropathy.[7]
This CCB class is easily identified by the suffix "-dipine".
Side effects of these drugs may include but are not limited to:
Phenylalkylamine calcium channel blockers are relatively selective for myocardium, reduce myocardial oxygen demand and reverse coronary vasospasm, and are often used to treat angina. They have minimal vasodilatory effects compared with dihydropyridines and therefore cause less reflex tachycardia, making it appealing for treatment of angina, where tachycardia can be the most significant contributor to the heart's need for oxygen. Therefore, as vasodilation is minimal with the phenylalkylamines, the major mechanism of action is causing negative inotropy. Phenylalkylamines are thought to access calcium channels from the intracellular side, although the evidence is somewhat mixed.[8]
Benzothiazepine calcium channel blockers belong to the benzothiazepine class of compounds and are an intermediate class between phenylalkylamine and dihydropyridines in their selectivity for vascular calcium channels. By having both cardiac depressant and vasodilator actions, benzothiazepines are able to reduce arterial pressure without producing the same degree of reflex cardiac stimulation caused by dihydropyridines.
While most of the agents listed above are relatively selective, there are additional agents that are considered nonselective. These include mibefradil, bepridil, flunarizine (BBB crossing), fluspirilene (BBB crossing),[9] and fendiline.[10]
Gabapentinoids, such as gabapentin and pregabalin, are selective blockers of α2δ subunit-containing voltage-gated calcium channels. They are used primarily to treat epilepsy and neuropathic pain.
Ziconotide, a peptide compound derived from the omega-conotoxin, is a selective N-type calcium channel blocker that has potent analgesic properties that are equivalent to approximate 1,000 times that of morphine. It must be delivered via the intrathecal (directly into the cerebrospinal fluid) route via an intrathecal infusion pump.
Research indicates that ethanol is involved in the inhibition of L-Type Calcium channels. Earlier studies show a link between calcium and the release of vasopressin by secondary messenger system.[11] Vasopressin levels are reduced after the ingestion of alcohol.[12] The lower levels of vasopressin from the consumption of alcohol has been linked to ethanol acting as an antagonist to voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC). Studies conducted in the aplysia confirm earlier results. Voltage clamp recordings were done on the aplysia neuron and VGCC were isolated and calcium current was recorded using patch clamp technique having ethanol as a treatment. Recordings were replicated at varying concentrations (0mM, 10mM, 25mM, 50mM, and 100 mM) at a voltage clamp of +30 mV. Results show that calcium current decreases as concentration of ethanol increases.[13] Similar results have shown to be true in single channel recordings form isolated nerve terminal of rats that ethanol does in fact block VGCC.[14]
There has been additional studies on mouse cerebral cortical neurons and the effects of prolonged ethanol exposure. Neurons were exposed to sustained ethanol concentrations of 50mM for 3 days in vitro. Western blot and protein analysis were conducted to determine the relative amounts of VGCC subunit expression. α1C, α1D, and α2/δ1 subunits show an increase of expression after sustained ethanol exposure. However, the β4 subunit showed a decrease. Furthermore, α1A, α1B, and α1F subunits did not alter in their relative expression. Thus sustained ethanol exposure may participate in the development of ethanol dependence in neurons.[15]
Other experiments have looked into ethanol effects on voltage-gated calcium channels on detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) cells in guinea pigs. Perforated patch clamp technique was used having intracellular fluid inside the pipette and extracellular fluid in the bath with added 0.3% vol/vol (~ 50mM) ethanol. Results show that ethanol decreased the Ca2+ current in DSM cells and induced muscle relaxation. Ethanol inhibits VGCC and is involved in alcohol-induced relaxation of the urinary bladder.[16]
Studies have shown that the nature of ethanol binding to L-type calcium channels is according to first order kinetics with a Hill coefficient of approximately 1. Thus, indicating completely independent binding of ethanol to the channel and expressing non-cooperative binding[17]
Mild CCB toxicity is treated with supportive care. Non-dihydropyridine CCB may produce profound toxicity and early decontamination, especially for slow release agents, is essential. For severe overdoses, treatment usually includes close monitoring of vital signs and the addition of vasopressive agents and intravenous fluids for blood pressure support. IV calcium gluconate (or calcium chloride if a central line is available) and atropine are first-line therapies. If the time of the overdose is known and presentation is within two hours of ingestion, activated charcoal, gastric lavage, and polyethylene glycol may be used to decontaminate the gut. Efforts for gut decontamination may be extended to within 8 hours of ingestion with extended release preparations.
Hyperinsulinemia-euglycemia (HIE) therapy has emerged as a viable form of treatment. Although the mechanism is unclear, it has been hypothesized that increased insulin mobilizes glucose from peripheral tissues to serve as an alternative fuel source for the heart (the heart mainly relies on oxidation of fatty acids). Theoretical treatment with lipid emulsion therapy has been considered in severe cases, but is not yet standard of care.
Caution should be taken when using verapamil with a Beta blocker due to the risk of severe bradycardia. If unsuccessful, ventricular pacing should be used.[18]
In the body's tissues, the concentration of calcium ions (Ca2+) outside of cells is normally about ten-thousand-fold higher than the concentration inside of cells. Embedded in the membrane of some cells are calcium channels. When these cells receive a certain signal, the channels open, letting calcium rush into the cell. The resulting increase in intracellular calcium has different effects in different types of cells. Calcium channel blockers prevent or reduce the opening of these channels and thereby reduce these effects.
There are several types of calcium channels, and a number of classes of calcium channel blockers, but almost all of them preferentially or exclusively block the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel.[19]
Voltage-dependent calcium channels are responsible for excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle and for regulating aldosterone and cortisol secretion in endocrine cells of the adrenal cortex.[4] In the heart they are also involved in the conduction of the pacemaker signals. CCBs used as medications primarily have four effects:
Since blood pressure is in intimate feedback with cardiac output and peripheral resistance, with relatively low blood pressure, the afterload on the heart decreases; this decreases how hard the heart must work to eject blood into the aorta, and so the amount of oxygen required by the heart decreases accordingly. This can help ameliorate symptoms of ischaemic heart disease such as angina pectoris.
Reducing the force of contraction of the myocardium is known as the negative inotropic effect of calcium channel blockers. Slowing down the conduction of electrical activity within the heart, by blocking the calcium channel during the plateau phase of the action potential of the heart (see: cardiac action potential), results in a negative chronotropic effect, or a lowering of heart rate. This can increase the potential for heart block. The negative chronotropic effects of calcium channel blockers make them a commonly used class of agents in individuals with atrial fibrillation or flutter in whom control of the heart rate is generally a goal. Negative chronotropy can be beneficial when treating a variety of disease processes because lower heart rates represent lower cardiac oxygen requirements. Elevated heart rate can result in significantly higher "cardiac work," which can result in symptoms of angina.
The class of CCBs known as dihydropyridines mainly affect arterial vascular smooth muscle and lower blood pressure by causing vasodilation. The phenylalkylamine class of CCBs mainly affect the cells of the heart and have negative inotropic and negative chronotropic effects. The benzothiazepine class of CCBs combine effects of the other two classes.
It is because of the negative inotropic effects that the nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers should be avoided (or used with caution) in individuals with cardiomyopathy.[20]
Unlike beta blockers, calcium channel blockers do not decrease the responsiveness of the heart to input from the sympathetic nervous system. Since moment-to-moment blood pressure regulation is carried out by the sympathetic nervous system (via the baroreceptor reflex), calcium channel blockers allow blood pressure to be maintained more effectively than do beta blockers. However, because dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers result in a decrease in blood pressure, the baroreceptor reflex often initiates a reflexive increase in sympathetic activity leading to increased heart rate and contractility.
Ionic calcium is antagonized by magnesium ions in the nervous system. Because of this, bioavailable supplements of magnesium, possibly including magnesium chloride, magnesium lactate, and magnesium aspartate, may increase or enhance the effects of calcium channel blockade.[21]
N-type calcium channels are found in neurons and are involved in the release of neurotransmitter at synapses. Ziconotide is a selective blocker of these calcium channels and acts as an analgesic.
Calcium channel blockers were first identified in the lab of German pharmacologist Albrecht Fleckenstein beginning in 1964.[22]

New adventures, prizes or windfalls could come your way at work or afar. Find out what else the stars have in store for you in Lifescript Horoscope Expert Kelli Fox's weekly forecast...
This week, persuasive Venus and dignified Saturn will pair up. If you're going to get your needs met, you'll have to make some concessions to your opponent. Treat rivals with respect, even if you have radically different ideas about how work should be done. The more kind and gracious you are, the easier it will be to move forward with a plan to make your surroundings more pleasant.
The Full Moon in Pisces gives you an opportunity to rest, relax and rejuvenate with your lover. Your family will be especially helpful while you're away, offering to care for pets and children.
Read on for your personal weekly forecast.
Weekly Forecast for Aries (March 21 – April 19)
This could be a good time to broach a sensitive subject with your business or romantic partner. Problems like money, sex and power can be difficult to solve, because pride can get in the way. Fortunately, you'll be able to discuss such matters in a supportive way that yields solutions.
It's also a good time to open a savings, retirement or college fund. Putting a little money into reserve may provide a welcome cushion from economic uncertainty.
A need for solitude later in the week may feel overwhelming. Take a day off work or indulge in a nap.
Weekly Forecast for Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Partnership matters are highly favored. If you're struggling with a financial or emotional issue, ask your best friend, lover or business partner for help. Their wisdom and experience may prove invaluable.
Are you on your own? Don't be surprised if you feel a strong attraction for someone who's considerably older or younger than you. This age discrepancy could enhance your relationship rather than hurt it. You could benefit from hearing a different perspective.
Your friendship with a talented artist could result in tickets to a hot show, concert or opening. Wear something special to this glittering occasion.
Weekly Forecast for Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
You could see the benefits of a fitness regimen. It's gratifying to know that your hard work is paying off. If you're out of shape, start exercising and eating right now. Your willpower is especially strong. It also helps that there's delicious fresh produce available. Preparing nourishing meals in big batches can prevent you from eating junk food when you're busy and stressed.
A pressing career matter may finally be resolved. Once the chain of command is clear, it will be much easier to do your job. As a result, your personal life may improve too.
Weekly Forecast for Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Working on a creative project could give you a great deal of pleasure. You're able to come up with imaginative solutions to problems. Putting your personal spin on old traditions will be fulfilling, too. If you've ever wanted to learn how to make pottery, sew, build furniture or sculpt with metal, take a class now. Studying with a respected master could give you a new lease on life. It might also result in the discovery of some hidden talents.
Knowledge you acquired some time ago will come in handy. This expertise could attract lots of admirers.
Weekly Forecast for Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
You could make some home improvements that greatly enhance your investment. Opt for quality, long-lasting materials. Alternately, your relationship with a relative or roommate will improve after you make concessions to one another. Make a few personal sacrifices for the sake of domestic harmony. No one wants to come home to a tense environment. Fortunately, the two of you'll be able to see each other's point of view. Swapping chores and adjusting your hours are among the possibilities.
Kicking a stubborn habit may be easier than you think, thanks to a helpful medical professional.
Weekly Forecast for Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Be cautious about signing a contract. Have a legal professional review it before entering into this formal agreement. There's still time to negotiate better terms. It's about knowing what you want. The more detailed your request, the greater the chance it will be granted.
Don't be afraid to address taboo matters like money. Your skills are valuable and you deserve to be properly compensated for them. Doing something special on behalf of your best friend, lover or business partner will lengthen and strengthen your relationship. Think about relieving your comrade of a dreaded chore or responsibility.
Weekly Forecast for Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
This is a good time to shop for luxury items. You'll get your money's worth, provided you do some price comparisons. If you come across a terrific sale, take advantage of it quickly, because supplies might not last long.
Are you unemployed? You could find a stable, enjoyable job. The salary may not be great, but it will be steady. You'd probably be wise to accept this offer. You can always ask for a raise later, when you've established that you're one of the most valuable members of the organization.
Finish up a chore that you may have been avoiding.
Weekly Forecast for Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
People respect your experience and knowledge. Don't be surprised when several colleagues ask for help with a difficult project. You can point them in the right direction without making them feel stupid. Offer an advanced training course for newcomers. Your boss may be willing to pay you extra for running such a class. If you have your own business, add some high-end services or products to your current offerings. Putting the finishing touches on a creative endeavor may be rewarding.
You could get fame and acclaim for this work, especially if you enter a contest.
Weekly Forecast for Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Normally, you enjoy working as part of a team. This week, however, you may have a strong desire to go solo. You'll probably be much more productive if you sneak off to a quiet corner. Send all of your phone messages directly to voicemail, just so you won't be distracted by personal phone calls or petty inquiries.
If you've been waiting for paperwork from an educational, cultural or government agency, it could finally arrive. A relative may reach an exciting milestone. Be on hand for the celebration; it's sure to be lots of fun.
Weekly Forecast for Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
A well-connected friend could offer you to tickets to a concert, movie or play – accept this generous offer. Don't forget to write a thank-you note. This treat may be one you remember for years.
If you're a member of a club, you could be given a reward or prize for your contributions. You may not realize it, but people really appreciate your organizational ability. It's always been easy for you to turn chaos into order within a matter of minutes.
A community improvement project may come to a successful conclusion, causing everyone affected to breathe a sigh of relief.
Weekly Forecast for Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
You may be awarded a plum assignment at work. It feels great to get paid to do something you love. If you're unemployed, you may find a steady position in the field of arts and entertainment. A former employer may be happy to write you a glowing recommendation. Although it might make you nervous to accept a job with serious responsibilities, take it anyway. It's time to push past your commitment fears.
Money for a job you performed some time ago could finally become available. Spend some of this cash on books, movies or music.
Weekly Forecast for Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
You might be sent on a glamorous trip for work. This could pose an excellent opportunity to combine business with pleasure. Buy some eye-catching souvenirs that aren't readily available at home, such as furniture, artwork or clothing. You'll probably have to spend a little extra money on overseas shipping, but it will be worth the additional cost.
If you're out of work, think about teaching English in a foreign country. This could be a great way to get paid while seeing the world.
A self-improvement program could pay off handsomely. Reward yourself for your hard work.

Someone is stalking the UCLA Medical Center -- a depraved madman who is preying upon the staff, particularly those who are young and female. No stranger to the terrible ravages of senseless violence, E.R. Chief Dr. David Spier must keep the emergency room running smoothly and efficiently, even as his terrified co-workers wonder who will be the next victim. But when the monster himself is dragged into the E.R. in handcuffs -- hideously burned, suffering, and begging for mercy -- the nightmare is far from over ... it has only just begun. A single act of humanity is about to unleash a bloody wave of horror that threatens to engulf everyone and everything Dr. Spier cares about. His most sacred oath as a healer has become a death sentence -- for David Spier ... and for a city under siege.
Gregg Hurwitz is the critically acclaimed author of The Tower, Minutes to Burn, Do No Harm, The Kill Clause, The Program, and Troubleshooter. He holds a B.A. in English and psychology from Harvard University and a master's degree from Trinity College, Oxford University. He lives in Los Angeles.

Pacific Mercantile Bancorp Announces Closing Of Sale Of $15 Million Of Shares Of Common Stock At $6.75 Per Share To The Carpenter Funds
COSTA MESA, Calif., April 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (Nasdaq:PMBC) announced today that effective as of March 30, 2013, it completed the sale of a total of 2,222,222 shares of the Company's common stock at $6.75 per share to Carpenter Community BancFund LP and Carpenter Community BancFund-A LP (collectively, the "Carpenter Funds"). As previously reported, we are contributing the net proceeds from the sale of those shares, which totaled approximately $14.8 million, to a new wholly-owned asset management subsidiary, which has used approximately $11.0 of those funds to purchase nonperforming loans and foreclosed real properties from the Company's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Pacific Mercantile Bank. The sale of those assets by the Bank to that new subsidiary is expected to result in improvements in the Bank's financial condition and future financial performance and, at the same time, will provide the Bank with additional financial resources that it plans to use to fund new loans and grow its business.
The remainder of the those proceeds will be used by that subsidiary to fund the costs of managing and disposing of the assets it is purchasing from the Bank and, subject to obtaining required regulatory approvals, plans to use the remainder of those proceeds to purchase additional nonperforming assets from the Bank.
As a result of their purchase of the shares, the Carpenter Funds, which are the Company's largest shareholder, now own approximately 34% of the Company's outstanding voting shares, as compared to the 28% that they owned prior to the sale.
Raymond E. Dellerba, President and CEO of Pacific Mercantile Bancorp, stated that, "Most of the non-performing assets we will be purchasing from the Bank are assets which have proven to be the most difficult to sell or resolve due to the poor condition of the properties or the financial difficulties of the borrowers." We are appreciative of the willingness of the Carpenter Funds to purchase our shares at a price above our recent market prices to enable us to purchase these troubled assets through our new asset management subsidiary," concluded Bancorp CEO Dellerba.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
