A group of physicians who are against doctor-assisted suicide are calling on their colleagues and the public to reject a future draft bill that would allow the possibility of "medical aid in dying" in Quebec.
The Physicians' Alliance for Total Refusal of Euthanasia Initiative (PATRE) held a press conference Tuesday to launch a campaign against legal euthanasia in Quebec, and invited other physicians and citizens to sign a declaration against the practice.
"Euthanasia through lethal injection is not a form of care, but rather the definitive end of all care. Patients should never be forced to give up their right to be treated and cared for," said Patrick Vinay, the director of a palliative care service and spokesperson for the group.
PATRE member Catherine Ferrier said the practice could set a dangerous precedent, allowing "a process through which physicians would lose all professional judgment and become legally bound to kill their patients on demand rather than to alleviate their suffering to the best of their abilities."
The group says euthanasia is "contrary to the goals of medicine" and favours strengthening palliative care to ensure that hospitals remain focused on healing.
Euthanasia through lethal injection is not a form of care, but rather the definitive end of all care.
— Patrick Vinay, PATRE
In January, the Quebec government said it would proceed with so-called "dying with dignity" legislation, named after a report released last March by the Select Committee on Dying With Dignity, a task force that spent two years studying end-of-life issues and holding public hearings across the province.
The task force's report recommended doctors should be allowed to help terminally ill patients who wish to die to end their lives in exceptional circumstances.
On Jan. 15 a provincial panel of legal experts studying medically assisted end-of-life procedures released recommendations outlining the circumstances under which doctors should be allowed to assist those who wish to die, and suggested Quebec could bypass the Canadian Criminal Code, which prohibits assisted suicide.
The panel concluded that if a terminally ill patient is receiving palliative treatment, is in pain, and can clearly express the desire to end their life, helping the patient carry out that wish should be considered part of the continuum of care.
PATRE condemned the draft legislation, saying the parameters are poorly defined and not well understood, and would bring about a substantial loss of rights for both patients and health care professionals.
"It is naive to believe this would be sufficient to protect vulnerable patients from subtle or not-so-subtle coercion to choose death," said Fernier in a Jan. 21 statement.
"The mere existence of physician-inflicted death as a legal option gives the message to elderly and terminally ill patients that their continuing existence is an unnecessary burden on their loved ones and the health care system. A desperate shortage of beds is a daily reality in our hospitals and cannot be ignored in this context."
Since its formation last year, more than 300 doctors and 1,000 citizens have signed the PATRE declaration opposing legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide.
According to an Angus Reid opinion poll released Feb. 14, most people in Quebec would support a regulation permitting a form of doctor-assisted suicide in the province.
In the online survey of a representative sample of 804 Quebecers, 86 percent of respondents support enacting legislation aimed at allowing doctors to help certain terminally ill patients end their lives. One in ten (10 percent) were opposed to the idea, while four percent were undecided.

Nigel Mansell won his sixth straight pole position Saturday during a record-breaking qualifying run for today's Monaco Grand Prix.
The British driver raced his Williams-Renault around the Monaco Grand Prix course in 1 minute 19.495 seconds to break the qualifying mark of 1:20.344 set last year by Ayrton Senna.
Mansell averaged 93.648 m.p.h. (150.711 kilometers). It was the first time anyone averaged more than 150 k.p.h. on the twisting circuit since it was changed in 1986.
Mansell has won five consecutive Formula One races, but has never won at Monaco.
"Most drivers have a love-hate relationship with Monaco," Mansell said. "It is a race you look forward to with great trepidation because anything can happen."

VIENNA: Iran's deputy foreign minister said he had made proposals to the U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Monday after pledging "a new approach" to easing international concerns about indications of illicit atomic bomb research by Tehran.
The U.N. agency wants to resume an investigation, long stymied by Iranian non-cooperation, into what it calls the "possible military dimensions" of the Islamic Republic's atomic activities. Tehran says it is enriching uranium solely for electricity generation and medical treatments.
Hopes of overcoming the stalemate between Iran and the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency over the nature of the nuclear program have risen since the election of a moderate president committed to easing Tehran's isolation.
Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said he had had "very useful and constructive" discussions with IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano and had made proposals to him to be addressed in detail by senior IAEA and Iranian experts later in the day.
The technical-level talks – the 12th such meeting since January 2012 and paralleling a revival of political negotiations between Iran and six world powers – ensued and were due to last about three hours.
Even before these talks had finished, an IAEA official announced that they would resume Tuesday morning – in what could be a sign of new potential for progress.
"I am very hopeful that we can come out with a good result," Araqchi, a top Iranian nuclear negotiator, told reporters after his meeting with Amano in Vienna.
It was the first high-level IAEA-Iranian meeting since President Hassan Rouhani took office in early August promising to drop confrontation in favor of conciliation in the diplomacy of the Islamic state, seeking relief from harsh Western sanctions now hobbling its oil-based economy.
"It is very important for all of us that we can show concrete progress," said Amano, seated across a table from Araqchi at IAEA headquarters as the meeting got underway.
The two sides would discuss "ways forward to address all the outstanding issues regarding Iran's nuclear program. These are long-standing and complicated issues," Amano added.
Araqchi said: "We think this is the time to take a new approach to resolving [questions] between Iran and the IAEA and look to the future for further cooperation" between them.
Iran's nuclear activity "is peaceful and it will remain peaceful forever," Araqchi added.
Expectations for Monday's Vienna talks were relatively high after a series of failed meetings, and diplomats believed Iran might soon offer some concessions, perhaps by permitting U.N. inspectors to visit its Parchin military base southeast of Tehran – long an IAEA priority.
"Everybody now expects something," a Western diplomat said.
The IAEA suspects that nuclear-related explosives tests were conducted in a steel chamber at the sprawling military complex, possibly a decade ago, and wants inspectors to interview officials to shed light on what happened there.
It has acknowledged, however, that it may no longer unearth any useful evidence at Parchin due to suspected Iranian efforts to remove any incriminating nuclear-linked traces there. Iran says Parchin is a conventional army base.
Taking advantage of the diplomatic opening enabled by Rouhani, Iran and six world powers are pursuing separate negotiations towards a broader political settlement of the dispute to head off any risk of a new Middle East war.
Their last meeting was held on Oct. 15-16 in Geneva, and another one is scheduled for Nov. 7-8.
Experts from the two sides will meet in Vienna later this week.
An end to Iran's higher-grade enrichment of uranium is a central demand of the powers. Refining uranium to 20 percent is sensitive as it is a relatively short technical step to raise that to the 90 percent needed for a nuclear bomb.
Rouhani's pursuit of substantive negotiations and detente with the West marks a dramatic departure from eight years of ideological belligerence under hard-line conservative predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Rouhani spoke by telephone with U.S. President Barack Obama in September, the loftiest such contact between the long estranged countries since Iran's 1979 revolution.

If, as you suggest, foxes will suffer more through being shot than being hunted (which seems unlikely), they should be protected from being shot as well. This is an argument to ban shooting, not to legalise hunting.

Some nice things people said -
I want to thank you for co-creating with me two of the most powerful interviews I have ever done. Hugs.
Neale Donald Walsch - author of Conversations with God
…. One of the big miracles about the show is you but I bet everyone tells you that. The best interview I ever had.
Mona Lisa Schulz author of Awakening Intuition: Using Your Mind-body Newwork for Insight and Healing.
"Corinne is a terrific interviewer and author. Her expertise in personal growth and self help is a no nonsense approach. Corinne has worked with me on coaching me in my radio career, and writing better articles. I highly recommend Corinne for you coaching or interviewing needs."
Michelle Vandepas cofounder of Divine Purpose Unleashed
Corinne, everyone raves about their interviews with you. You are surely helping people live better, more joyful and successful lives.
Judith Viorst, the best selling author of Necessary Losses asked me to thank you for the splendid interview you did with her on her book Imperfect Control. She has been doing extensive book tours for well over 15 years. However, for this tour, her most lavish praise was for you and the highly intelligent, thoughtful, insightful job you did as host.
Toni Werbell – Pub;ic Relations for Judith Viorst
Corinne preceded me at Wisdom Media. She was one of the earliest Host/Talent/Producers and a pioneer in the wellness field. As I began to work with Corinne, overseeing her series, I was quickly impressed with her knowledge of the field, her poise and comfort with a broad array of guests, and her personal integrity, style, and camaraderie. She remains one of my all-time favorite colleagues – and continues to push the edges of her own envelope and pursue the journey!"
Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity
Sheila Shayon from Third Eye Media and former SVP, Programming, Production & Operations at Wisdom Media, LLC.
Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant didn't start out as Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant.
They had tremendous help in the form of many coaches. And while none of us will ever be a Kate or Cary, many of us will be putting videos on our websites or Ytube and can use a little help in not looking clumsy. I would like to recommend Corinne Edwards if you need a media, speaking or business coach. I have such different "eyes" from when I first hired her. I can't put into words just how grateful I am to have her guidance. Corinne, my sincere, heart-felt thanks to you for your courage and bravado in being a pioneer in this Internet field and helping mestay the course during these past difficult years. I'm going forward in 2009 and you are going with me!!!! I feel safe with you by my side."
Peg Barry, president Barry Personnel Resources and BarryCare
Corinne personifies the expressions a "helping hand" and an "encouraging spirit". If you get a chance to work with her grab it because her name isn't lying, she really is in the business of creating mini miracles and blessings and I can definitely say she has done that for me in the blogosphere.

I really look forward to reading your site. Until my sister told me about it, I felt so alone, and wondering how I'm supposed to feel after losing my husband. I went through 2 marriages until I found MR. RIGHT and we had 26 wonderful years together. He had several back surgeries, and open heart surgery, and was 10 years older than me, but that made no difference. He always felt bad that he couldn't do alot of things that men should do–mow the grass, do heavy things, etc. but he took care of the paperwork, cooked when I was at work, etc. I always told him, that he could do what he could do , and I could do what I could do, but he always felt bad that I had to do yard work when I came home from working in a hot factory, but he didn't understand that I didn't have to worry about the bills, and making appointments for the cars to be worked on, getting something fixed around the house and things like that.
He passed away in May 2009, fell over in the kitchen before I was even out of bed. Instant heart attack. But we never went to bed without a kiss and an "I love you", and those were my last words to him. Someone once told me never to go to bed mad at each other and I always believed that. I usually fell asleep in his arms, and the shock of finding him on the floor will never leave my head.
People think that I should be "over it" by now, but they don't understand………………they have never gone through it, and I said I had the worst, and then I had the BEST, and I don't want anyone else. No one could ever fill his shoes, nor would I want them to. Being alone is the worst part, and I can't seem to get a grip on that. I don't want to do anything because everyone that I know, has "someone"; I felt like the 5th wheel when I'd be with somebody, and I'd rather stay in the home that we shared and have my memories. Thank goodness I have 2 kids that took him as their father, and my daughter only lives a few blocks away, and lost her father 2 years before after a long fight with cancer, so she tries to console me saying that I wouldn't want to see him laying in a bed, suffering and not knowing what was going on, which I wouldn't; But I keep thinking-he would be HERE, I could talk to him, see him.
He left me in good shape financially, which was one of his main goals, that I would never have to go back to work, and for that I am grateful since I see so many women struggling to make ends meet, but the loneliness gets over bearing, and most of the people that I know, including my kids, think that I should be out doing things,and going places more. I am,and never was one to go with a bunch of strangers, like on a bus trip, etc. We did everything together, whether it was working on a project, doing dishes, going on vacation, and nothing is enjoyable without him.
I am so glad to read about other women feeling the same way, because in the beginning I thought something was the matter with ME. Now I know there are alot of others in my shoes, and I know that I must go on, but it must be on my terms; when I'm ready, I will know it. Your letters from other women are such a comfort to me, because there ARE people out there that understand, and that means so much.
Love to all of you that are "one of us". With the support from each other, I know that we will all make it through this tough time—together. No matter how long it takes each one of us. Our lives will never be the same, but I know that my dear Louie would want me to go on and I will do my best to do that for him and for me. Thank you all for the wonderful words that I read from all of you.

Hi Rosetta,
I agree with what you had and is experiencing. People think that we should be ok by now but they don't understand…..I fully agree with you. My husband passed away on 1st Jan 2010. And yes, he left me in good shape financially so I don't have to worry about my remaining years but I contine working to keep my sanity and to stay focus so that my idle mind does not wonder about and drift into depression. I don't like to join bunch of strangers like you do and I don't want anyone else even though it's very miserable being alone. But I believe we all can pull through it eventually.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Georgia's roads could be packed this weekend, as people celebrate Labor Day, the traditional end to the summer.
According to AAA Auto Club, about 790,000 Georgians are predicted to take to the roads for a holiday vacation. That is nearly equivalent to the entire Gwinnett population, and a 3 percent increase from last year's travel patterns.
Jessica Brady, a spokeswoman for AAA said the number doesn't account for people driving into or through the state to get to their vacation spots.
"There will be some pretty busy roadways," she said.
With gas prices already up 20 cents compared to a week ago, thanks mostly to Hurricane Isaac, Brady said the number could continue to climb through the weekend. But it won't keep people at home, she added.
"If anything, they may be spending less at their destination," she said.
In the meantime, the Georgia Department of Transportation is hoping to give drivers a little bit of break from laboring through the holiday. The department suspended construction-related lane closures this weekend.
But officials said people should still drive with caution, as crews could be working close to highways and emergency lane closures could become necessary at any time. Also some long-term lane closures may stay in place for safety reasons.
"We've averaged nearly 2,000 accidents across our state during recent Labor Day weekends," Georgia DOT district engineer Bayne Smith said. "On average, more than 15 people die and more than 900 are injured on Georgia roads each year during this holiday. It should be a time of rest and festivities dedicated to working men and women, not of tragedy and grief. Please be very careful and do not drive distracted or while impaired."
The suspension lasts from noon Friday until 5 a.m. Tuesday.

Does the color of the nano show through on the watchband? The examples both seem to be grey nanos or is that the strap casing.
I like the look of the black strap and gray silver casing but would also like the more vibrant color nanos when not wearing it as a watch. Do all colors look gray when worn with the band?

Original Message
Good afternoon, evening wherever you are in the country.
I am trembling right now, and writing this with great fear in my eyes.
I am an abductee, i have been all my life.
I do not consider myself to be the chosen one or special or anything like that, millions of people around the world are abducted both consciously and subconsicously, some of you may be abductees and may not even know of it.
In recent years my abductions went from blurry memory, to out of body experiences, to real physical contact, being led by several greys onto a large craft which had different species of non human intelligence on it.
Recently it has been ruining my life, i am 73 years old, and want to live out the remainder of my life without this stress as it has all but taken most of my life, and made it hard to live like a regular woman.
My friend suggested setting up cctv camera footage in the house which i did, but the ets would simply cause so much distortion that nothing would show up.
Eventually i decided to get myself a shotgun, and wait for the next abduction.
About an hour ago, they came for me, four of them
The smallest one (about 5 foot) was at the front and the closest to me.
I pulled out my shotgun, i screamed `dont come nearer ill fire`, but it carried on coming towards me, i suddenly felt myself start to fall into the usual trance, hypnotic like state which you are in when they want to control you, and i could hear in my head it telling me to put me down, if i had given it a fraction of a second more, i would have completly been under its control.
Anyway, as soon as i felt the trance like state start to come on, i didnt give it more than a second thought, i still, whilst i had the energy in my fingers, pulled the trigger, and blasted the grey in the face. It fell down, and stood up again, and looked at me with a sad look in its face, i panicked and shot it again, this time it didnt get up!
I looked around me, and excpected the other four murder me, literally murder me.. but they were gone, and so was the craft.
I put the gun down, and sat in the garden for an hour, and they didnt come back.
I buried the grey in my garden underneath the oak tree, and i am scared for my life what to do now.
I took about 2 minutes cellphone footage of it too, which is far too graphic i am afraid to upload here.
I didnt mean to kill it, but these entities are ruining my life. I also do not understand why the others would dissapear surely they werent all scared of me.
It doesnt help that i am selling up my house in a few months as i will be moving into the countryside, how is it going to look if they find a body under the oak tree!!
Please can anyone who is an abductee help, and advise me what to do.

Complaint Information
How do I file a
complaint against a homeopathic and integrated medicine doctor?
The complaint must be submitted in writing to the board office. Be as specific and objective as you can in narrating the events. Mention dates, other persons involved, include copies of bills and any other communications your may have had with the physician that would assist the board in understanding the facts of the matter.
How does the
Board process a complaint?
A copy of the complaint is sent to the physician with a request for a response within ten days of receipt of the complaint and copies of medical records and/or invoices if appropriate. Arizona Medical Board (AMB)or the Osteopathic Board (OBEX) are notified if that physician is also licensed concurrently with that board. Unless this Board hears otherwise from the AMB or OBEX, it assumes jurisdiction. After the physician's reply is received additional investigation may be performed and once the initial information is complete the file is prepared for review by the Board. Approximately ten days before the next scheduled meeting the complaint and the physician's response are forwarded to each of the Board members for review and recommendation at the next board meeting, of whether or not an investigation should be opened.

Tory Burch recently held an event at her retail store in Charlotte to honor the area's top customers, and the billionaire designer met every single one of the nearly 150 women who attended. Caroline McMillan Portillo
The UpTake: Tory Burch took a big risk when she took time out from a busy fashion career. But she used that time to launch her own brand, also a huge risk. It's paid off. Big time. Here, she talks about that decision, and what it's like to run a now-international fashion powerhouse.
A woman with a list of names stood by the open door.
"How long will Tory Burch be here?" I asked, while checking in under an awning bearing Burch's signature double-T logo at SouthPark Mall in Charlotte.
"Probably around 20 minutes," the slim young woman with a chic bun atop her head replied with a smile.
For more news from Bizwomen, check out Caroline McMillan Portillo's work
Well, an hour and a half later, the petite fashion powerhouse, wearing a summer tweed skirt and jacket and sky-high pumps, was still shaking hands, talking clothes and posing for selfies.
I stayed the whole time just to confirm: Yes, Burch did meet every single woman in the room.
It's been 10 years since Burch opened her first retail store on Elizabeth Street in New York City, and what started as buzz over medallioned ballet flats and vintage-chic tunics, is now a full-blown roar.
The rookie designer had worked in public relations and marketing for bigtime names such as Ralph Lauren, Harper's Bazaar magazine, Vera Wang and Narciso Rodriguez. Before taking a three-and-a-half-year break that ultimately led to her launching her own line, Burch was working at Spanish luxury fashion house Loewe, and was approached about being the president of it.
And when she opened her first retail store in 2004, she did it knowing that most designers start with a soft launch. They build up a client base, try to make headlines and then go brick and mortar.
But for Burch it worked. Now a global sensation, she has more than 120 freestanding boutiques and a presence in more than 3,000 department and specialty stores, from London to Hong Kong to the United Arab Emirates.

makArt needs help in digital painting! (UPDATED TODAY!)
Hey you guys!
I´m Matthias from Vienna, Austria, a 19-year-old art-lover.
I´ve been quite desperate lately, for I haven´t been able to draw in a while..(school, band, you know, all that stuff..)
So, inspired by Algenpfleger I decided to open a sketchbook, in order to beg you guys to get my digital painting skills going.
I hope you will!

Hey you guys!
Finally I´ve worked up all my courage and started my own sketchbook here.
I´m kind of forced to, since I don´t bear it anymore to be lousy at painting digitally.
Drawing (meaning lineart) works quite well, but I´ve got huge problems in color choice, understanding how to paint in gerenal with digital medias and all the technical stuff of photoshop - though I´ve got an Intuos 3 A5. :/
Soooo...I´ve begun to paint a bit today, starting in greyscale, to not overstrain myself.
This is a sketch I did a while ago, different steps, different designs.
I choose something inbetween two and three in the end.
And..this was a try to start painting it, but after some time I gave up...I suck, see?!
I´d like to set a strong lightsource from the left, so that the skin even shines there a bit, using a dark bg. Then there would flow a big brush stroke from the top of the image to the left, floating through her left hand......any help? T_T
So as I already told, I began painting in greyscale today.
First try: an eye, to start small.. 2 images to show how I tried to add texture
Second one!
I did a little sketch, very quick, emphasizing light source etc.
I realized that it´ve been better to add a bg first, no?^^"
Use a ref this time, but as you can see I changed some parts - tried to make her more pretty xD ...and to have a bit different pose.
Well then!
I´d appreciate a lot if you guys helped me!
PS: could anyone explain to me how to insert the attached images the right way? I don´t get it..

You don't suck. That's a little harsh. I suck. Haha.
I'm learning digital as well but I'm a tad behind you. Draw and post everyday, you're bound to get someone knowledgeable in here. I, unfortunately, can offer no critiques.
The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.

Thanks for stopping by at my SB! nice start here! id say that in the second one, the womans head is a tad too small and as for the last one, i think her nose and mouth are a bit too pushed outwards, keep it going!

You're way too hard on yourself! The eye looks very nice, and coloring attempt wasn't so bad. Photoshop, in comparison to real paint, does lay down color in a very unnatural way if you're used to the way paint naturally blends together.
Learn to utilize layers. This lets you paint in a backdrop whenever you want, and lets you work different ideas "over" your main design (and if you don't like the idea you can just delete the layer!)

Noodle: you´re welcome! oh, now that you said it, I realized it myself as well...thanks!
What do you mean with "too pushed outwards"? btw, where from finland are you exactly, if I might ask?
Aphotic Phopenix: thanks a lot for your tips, i´ll have a try there!
Unfortunately I often get confused with the layers and then it happens that I paint in th wrong layer..not on purpose! <_<" (at least that happened while trying to paint the coloured girl)
Does anyone of you can tell me how to "colorize" a greyscale painted picture?
I´ll try to paint the girl with the funny outfit in greyscale tomorrow..

I actually think these are awesome...If you understand values and proportions and all that basic stuff (which you obviously do) all that remains is to practice applying that knowledge digitally. Just keep painting!
Sometimes naming layers helps if you're getting confused... As for the colourising, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Painting colours on a separate layer set to 'Multiply' or 'Overlay' works all right-ish in most programs, and there is usually a colourise function in art programs, it is just a matter of finding it.
What program are you using? I am assuing it's Photoshop, since that is the most popular program here... not one I use, though.
I look forward to seeing more from you, anyway.

as well as what was said above you could also lock your layers. Unlocking as you go. Then theres no chance of painting on the wrong layer.
And a very small detail with the eye the pupils darkness would go into the iris. see what i mean here
January 8th, 2009 #11
azekariel: Thank you that´s pretty helpful! It makes me ask another question though (it´d be nice if you answered ) :
What is the difference between a normal, a multiply and an overlay layer? What is their meaning? What´s their purpose and in which way should I use them? That´s what I don´t really get..
And yes, you were guessing right, I´m using Photoshop, I might try Painter X in the nearer futer though, we´ll see..
Aphotic Phoenix: Alright, I´ll have a try!
Fly: you mean that the iris might be a little darker around the pupils? I thought I had done that xD
Okay, just some very very quick sketches today.
I´m not very happy with how they turned out, I´m even a bit ashamed - but well fuck it.
I´m extremely tired, but I forced myself to sketch a little, as fast as possible...therefore very brief explanation, I need to go to bed.. .___.
Everything except the hand drawn from Bammes but tried to "think" myself as well, that´s why they might not perfectly match the sample.
Did the hand from life, but I guess you can see that all thos sketchs happened very fast haha xD
..good night!

Normal = normal. What you paint on a normal layer just rests above the other layers...basically as if you painted on optically clear film and stacked them on top of each other.
Multiply = blacks are opaque, whites are transparent, and colors are multiplied with each other. This mode is sometimes used to color scanned line work, and color grey scale/neutral value images. In the former you can set the line art as the top layer > multiply, and then paint underneath the line art. (Works well for comic style stuff with inked lines). In the latter, the coloring layers are set to multiply (the colors value is what to look out for here), and is a fair bit tricker to get the right color choices. I don't have a whole lot of experience using it this way, so look up some good tutorials.
Screen = black are transparent, whites are opaque. Don't know a whole lot of common uses for screen off the top of my head...might be used for some light/glow effects? Only really mentioning it because it's the opposite of Multiply.
Overlay = is sort of mix between multiply and screen. The overlay layer will be darker where the underlying layers are darker, and lighter where the underlying areas are lighter. Most commonly used to selectively add textures or markings like tattoos over already rendered pieces.
One tool that I have fun with is the "replace color" option which lets you select a color range and alter it in terms of hue, saturation, and "brightness". Tinkering around with that can produce some really interesting color combinations (or create some hideously garish ones with obvious digital "blowout" if you aren't careful) and is somewhat useful if the colors you picked out don't quite work the way you wanted.
Lasso tool is handy to select something that's perhaps a little off kilter (an eye that's just a bit too high), and move it where it needs to go, or quickly select something you want to "transform" in other ways. There are other selection tools as well, but lasso is the quickest.
There are tons of other little tricks and options...but hopefully I've managed to mention at least some of the most common ones here.

I was right! *victorius laugh*
As for the layer modes, I see Aphotic Phoenix has got here before me... which is a damn good thing, cause I wasn't hugely sure of how they worked myself -.-
Really like the hand, the strokes are used very well to imply the creases and lines in the skin.
