Dr. Serebrakian consults with each and every patient to ensure they understand their options: non-invasive (including Botox, laser hair removal, and wrinkle filling) or permanent surgical repair.

His procedures are safe and well-executed, and he gets not only good, but excellent results.

The company's goal is to provide a natural look for clients so they can lead a normal life with confidence. Peggy and her friend Kathy are the proud founders of the charity, Locks of Love.

After a week with the caring people from BrightStar, she's eating well, looking healthier and always in a good mood. The companionship has done a world of good for her." "After my dad moved into our home, we were disappointed when he started showing signs of depression. My husband and I both work and couldn't take time off to be at home with him during the week. After the BrightStar caregiver was here for two days, he was his usual gregarious self. We don't know what we'd do without them." Paul Wichman, BrightStar 150 Shoreline Hwy., Ste. B-28, Mill Valley. 332.3300. www.BrightStarCare.com Breast Thermography Alternatives In Breast Health Safe and sound screening assesses cancer risk Recently the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force suggested that women delay getting regular mammograms until age 50. This flies in the face of recommendations by the American Cancer Society, leaving many confused about how to proceed with their breast health. Nurse Practitioner Donna Scippa offers a way to go forward by providing lifestyle consultations as well as breast thermography exams. Thermography has been around since 1982 as adjunctive screening. Regrettably it hasn't caught on in the arena of Western medicine, but it still has an important place at the table with the other modalities used for breast cancer screening. Based on the principle that metabolic activity in both pre-cancerous tissue and the surrounding area is higher than in normal breast tissue, temperature variations can be detected by medical infrared cameras. Analyzed by sophisticated computers, the information provides an early risk assessment. Women from the age of 20 can benefit from this screening. Breast thermography is non-invasive and radiation-free, thus giving women a safe test that empowers them to be more proactive in their own health maintenance.

The Institute for Health Management (IHM) is a medically supervised rapid weight loss program treating patients since 1983 in Marin and Sonoma counties. Under the medical supervision of Robert Park, M.D., FACP, IHM utilizes a very low calorie diet (VLCD), which allows patients 18 to 85 years old to undergo a maximal rate of weight loss (approx. 3 lbs/ week for females, 5-7 lbs/week for males) yet still be medically safe. Obesity-related medical problems of high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus (both Type I and Type II), elevated cholesterol, sleep apnea, and arthritis of weight-bearing joints respond well to weight loss between 20 to 300 lbs. or more. IHM patients are monitored weekly by physicians and nurse practitioners with concurrent classes in behavioral modification conducted by a clinical psychologist who has been with our program for the past 28 years. Nutritional and exercise programs are designed to ensure long-term success.

Even older people who appear to be strong can fall, but you can lower your chances of falling by doing these simple things. 1. Exercise is an important way to reduce your chanes of falling. Exercises that improve balance and coordination are the most helpful. Ask your doctor or health care worker about the best type of exercise program for you. 2. Half of all falls happen at home. 3. Remove things you can trip over such as papers, books, clothes, electrical and phone cords. 4. Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping. 5. If you must use a step-stool, use a sturdy one with a handrail and wide steps. 6. Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and shower. 7. Install proper lighting in your home and on staircases. Keep a flashlight with fresh batteries beside your bed. 8. Have grab bars installed next to your toilet and in the tub or shower. 9. Avoid walking around in stockings or floppy shoes. Wear shoes that give good support and have nonslip soles. 10. Consider purchasing a portable phone that you can take with you from room to room. You can call for help should an accident occur. 11. Arrange with a family member or friend for daily contact. 12. Have your doctor review your medicines, including ones that don't need prescriptions such as cold medicines. Some medicines can make you drowsy or lightheaded, which can lead to a fall. Drinking alcoholic beverages also increases the risk of falling. 13. Have your vision checked. Poor vision can increase your chances of falling. Make time for safety! A healthy attitude is encouraged by healthy lifestyles.

The Washington state man who gained fame for the bold blue burnish of his skin — after more than a decade of ingesting the controversial "cure-all" colloidal silver — has died at 62, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Paul Karason suffered a fatal heart attack on Monday, after years of health woes, battling prostate cancer, blocked arteries, a stroke and pneumonia.
PHOTOS: A Look Back At 2012′s Morning Show War
Karason was launched into the public spotlight, and became something of an Internet celebrity, after a 2008 appearance on the TODAY show where he spoke with Matt Lauer about his unique condition.
Watch the video on RadarOnline.com
Colloidal silver is banned by the FDA due to the skin-dyeing properties it has, which was the cause behind Karason's blue tint.

It's hard to believe that The National High School Musical Theater Awards started
just three short years ago! Now, The Jimmy Awards are back...50 participants strong. This amazing group of talented youngsters from across the country arrived today to check into the dorms at NYU and have brought lots of energy with them!
After settling into their new homes this excited group of students, chaperones and Awards staff gathered for dinner together. After dinner each participant stood and introduced themselves and it became clear that the group had its share of jokesters from near (New York City) and far (California!). But they were ready to get down to business with the first music rehearsal TONIGHT.

St. Croix River Institute Offers Summer Courses
APRIL 27, 2007--Canoeing, hiking and fly-fishing are the topics of summer workshops and courses offered by the St. Croix River Institute at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
The institute offers courses May through August that provide participants with the chance to experience the beauty of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway in an educational setting. The classes are open to the public.
Formally established in 2006, the St. Croix River Institute is a collaborative effort between the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and the National Park Service, which oversees the National Scenic Riverway. The institute's mission is to understand and sustain the St. Croix River and river valley communities by connecting people with the riverway through programs and classes.
The summer courses, which will be led by seasoned instructors, are among the perks of the partnership, said Angela Whitaker, UWRF marketing specialist for the outreach office.
"One of the benefits of the collaboration is the classes and the instructors, who bring a lot of experience and enthusiasm as well as knowledge," says Whitaker. "It's a way to have fun, get outdoors and experience the riverway."

With this in mind, Dr. Nevrivy founded the new firm, located in the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C. Dr. Nevrivy, who holds a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology, was formerly with the D.C. firm of Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox for seven years. Dr. Nevrivy is building a team of lawyer-scientists to serve businesses, universities and inventors who seek innovative ways to lower their costs for protection of their IP without sacrificing quality.
"It's a little tricky for existing law firms to lower their fees and maintain quality because the cost structure is so built in to their way of doing things. However, a new law firm that is small and highly focused can create a cost structure de novo that works. A reduced overhead and a streamlined firm structure also mean that attorneys can provide the highest quality of work more efficiently than larger firms. It's a win-win situation, for the client and the lawyer," according to Dr. Nevrivy.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

Praise for Annie from the blogosphere (surely some of these people are shills) has been intemperatelikewise from British record reviewers, who are paid by the hyperbolic adjective. But let's not punish Annie for being overrated. An overrated good record is still a good record, and "Chewing Gum" may well have been last year's 31st best single. "Oh no, oh no, you've got it all wrong," she sings, "You think you're chocolate but you're chewing gum," a memorable hook written by Hannah Robinson and producer Richard X (an exception; Annie co-writes most of her material). Robinson and X are savvy retrofitters. For Rachel Stevens's "Some Girls" they underscored the kinship between '70s glam rock and '00s lady pop with a lemon highlighter. On "Chewing Gum," they hotrod the "Cutie Pie"-"Genius of Love" beat, wrap it in a sigh, and correctly surmise that some boys always go mad for dating songs centered on oral metaphors, even those involving mastication, expectoration, and trampling.
"Chewing Gum," proudly cute and disposable, is also singing to itself. Which isn't to say it won't sound fine in five or 20 years. Anniemal's "The Greatest Hit" is from 1999, and still parties as if it were. The song samples from and betters young Madonna's "Everybody," employing the reefer-toking cymbal from the original for the new tune's Puff the Magic Dragon conceit. "Greatest Hit" was co-created by Annie and her then musical and romantic partner Tore "Erot" Kroknes, who died of heart complications in 2001. If you're inclined to conjure it, Kroknes's ghost will haunt Anniemal and lend gravity to songs such as the wistful "Heartbeat" and the forlorn "My Best Friend." Unfortunately, neither Annie's singing (puerile, glassy, something like a less expressive Kylie Minogue, also something like the red Teletubbi) nor her lyrics (bland, hard to make out, occasionally charming) live up to the album's tragic subtext with any regularity, though "My Best Friend" is indeed a heartbreaker. And Kylie comparisons notwithstanding, Anniemal isn't long on gay-disco abandon, either. The double-time section of "Heartbeat" gets close, but the forced club epic "Come Together" sounds more like faking it alone.
Still, small pleasures are abundant here: the bent synth-bass on the great title track; the dub-style delayed snare on "Always Too Late"; the quavering mope-funk of "No Easy Love," written and produced with Röyksopp's Torbjørn Brundtland and an effectively slowed-down variation on that group's "Remind Me." If much of Anniemal isn't vibrant enough to move physically or resonant enough to move emotionally, its peaks suggest a worthy midway state. To expand on an image from "The Greatest Hit," this is music for moonlight drives with friends in rented convertibles, during which a certain baseline of despair is mutually understood and even savored. Or this is music for a car commercial depicting such a scene.
Speaking of which, "Beautiful Life" by Fisher is surely the finest song ever written for Toyota. Expanded into legitimacy for The Lovely Years, the song remains an outstanding jingle, irritating and irresistible. Its chorus harmonies are rich enough to sell or buy yachts. Kathleen Fisher is an affected but not humorless vocalist, while husband Ron Wasserman is a junior Lindsey Buckingham hiding in broad daylight. I'm an even bigger fan of "Biggest Fan," narrated by a likable star-stalker and given another textbook chorus, this one complete with horns imported from "Penny Lane" by Howard Jones. After that it gets dodgiersquishy new-parent ballads, something inspired by Sylvia Plath. But download "Life," "Fan," and the sweet "Be Here" and you might have the alt-MOR three-song EP of the year. For three bucks!
Annie plays Hiro Ballroom June 28 and Scenic June 29.

Netflix, Kerry Washington could make Emmy history
FILE - This image released by Netflix shows Kevin Spacey as U.S. Congressman Frank Underwood in a scene from the Netflix original series, "House of Cards. " This years Emmy Awards can be a toss-up between many shows, "House of Cards" is a contender for Best Drama Series. (AP Photo/Netflix, Melinda Sue Gordon)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Netflix's "House of Cards" vies with cable series "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men" for best drama honors at the Emmy Awards, it will be a milestone in the coming-of-age of online entertainment.
The political thriller, the first online program to compete for the top trophy, is part of a video universe explosion that's added streaming services including Netflix and websites like YouTube to broadcast, cable and satellite TV delivery.
The Emmy ceremony, airing at 8 p.m. EDT Sunday on CBS with host Neil Patrick Harris, will boast its fair share of movie stars, among them TV movie nominees Michael Douglas and Matt Damon for the Liberace biopic "Behind the Candelabra" and Al Pacino and Helen Mirren for "Phil Spector."

There could be history made: "Scandal" star Kerry Washington, the first African-American nominee for best actress in a drama since Cicely Tyson in 1995 for "Sweet Justice," would be the first ever to win.
ABC's "Modern Family" has the chance at its fourth consecutive best comedy series trophy.
"House of Cards" faces tough opposition. AMC's "Breaking Bad" is after its first best drama award as it nears the end of its five-season run, and "Mad Men" would like to claim a fifth honor to set a record for most wins in the category.
AMC's "Mad Men" is tied with past greats "Hill Street Blues," ''The West Wing," and "L.A. Law." Last year, Showtime's "Homeland" played spoiler by taking the trophy and is nominated again along with PBS' "Downton Abbey" and HBO's "Game of Thrones."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Manuel Almunia has benefitted from working with German veteran goalkeeper Jens Lehmann.
"Don't forget that for Almunia it was a very difficult year because when you have a guy like Jens Lehmann on your back there is no better school because this guy doesn't give you any room. He always shows he is ready to take your place if you have any weakness," said the Frenchman.
"So I believe that Almunia this year on the mental side, on the toughness, has made a tremendous improvement. What he has done, with the competition like he had with Jens every day, with people expecting him to show a weakness, he has instead become a very strong goalkeeper."

Block Swaps - My collection so far
I have only been in my blocks swaps for three months and am building up quite a collection. My theme is a log cabin with a turquoise centre with alternating white / grey / charcoal / lime or orange fabrics. I tend to like the retro moderns. These blocks are from block buddies in Portugal, United States, UK and Australia. I can hardly wait for April's draw.
