"Joan created a spreadsheet of expenses for me and her estimates were right on target. This helped me evaluate the offer and formulate my response. I liked knowing what to expect and there were no surprises."
- K. C., Richmond
"I was a first time home buyer when I met Joan. Though I was ready, I was still nervous and had LOTS of questions. Joan was very helpful, patient, courteous and supportive throughout the whole process. She still is, even two years after my purchase! Her professionalism, knowledge and concern that I find the right house that fit my lifestyle and that was within my budget, led me to buying the first home of my dreams. I wish everyone's
home buying experience could be this good! I have since referred her to my friends looking for a great home."
- Y. W., Christiansburg
"Joan's grasp of my needs, her thorough presentations of available options and her guidance in selecting those that would be best for me were excellent."

Caprica - Grading & Discussion

Re: Caprica - Grading & Discussion
It was interesting, I'm certainly willing to give the show a shot once the series begins next year. I'd say it was
above average
The first half was pretty slow, and thank the gods the whole show didn't focus on those annoying teenagers, but why is every Ben on television evil these days?
The V club was pretty stupid, I think that it is one of those ideas which is cool when it is in your head but visualising it just makes the whole thing tacky. Even lesbian nudity couldn't save it, and lesbian nudity can usually save anything!
The second part was much better and I enjoyed the exploration of the two fathers willing to do anything to get their daughters back. Joseph's speech about seeing flowers for the first time was nice, and the scene where he sees Tamara again was heart-breaking. I can see him and Daniel being very interesting characters.
My main problem is the Cybernetic Life-form Node. Those guys are kickass, but the idea that they contain the personality of an annoying teenage girl detracts from their kickassery. I guess I'll just have to wait and see where it goes.

The Electronic Health Record: What Every Information Manager Should Know: Records Are a Vital Part of the Patient Care Environment. Secure, Accurate Records Are Necessary, Although Increasingly Challenging, as They Migrate to an Electronic Environment
Valerius, Joanne D., Information Management
The need to better manage health information is indisputable. Since a 2000 report from the Institute of Medicine estimated that as many as 98,000 U.S. patients die annually due to preventable medical errors--many due to lack of access to complete patient information--subsequent studies have confirmed that inadequate information systems in U.S. clinics, hospitals, and physician practices affect the quality of care patients receive.
Recognizing that patient treatment information--electronic and paper--is often scattered at various locations and in unlinked computers, President George W. Bush has focused on digitizing the healthcare industry. In 2004, Bush appointed the nation's first National Health Information Technology Coordinator with a 10-year goal of creating an interoperable health information infrastructure that would ensure that most Americans have secure electronic health records (EHR), and healthcare workers have quick, reliable access to them. This envisioned national health information infrastructure (NHIN) features electronic data exchange, which is dramatically changing the work of those involved in communicating and disseminating personal medical information and can improve the quality of health care, reduce healthcare costs, and improve communication among healthcare providers.
Defining the 'Electronic Health Record'
In the book Electronic Health Records: A Practical Guide for Professionals and Organizations, M. K. Amatayakul writes that
"[t]he electronic health record is not a simple computer application; rather it represents a carefully constructed set of systems that are highly integrated and require a significant investment in time, money, process change, and human factor reengineering."
To migrate from a hard-copy format to an EHR system, these components are needed:
* [Physician] order communication/ results retrieval (OC/RR)
* Electronic document/content management (ED/CM)
* Clinical messaging
* Point-of-care (POC) charting, or patient-care documentation
* Computerized physician/provider order entry and electronic prescribing
* Electronic medical administration record
* Clinical decision support
* Provider-patient portals and health information exchange
* Personal health records
* Population health
Currently, different configurations are being used to collect information for an electronic format. Some healthcare facilities collect information from multiple computerized programs throughout the facility. For example, lab, pharmacy, radiology, POC documentation systems, and finance are connected. Here, the record is kept in an electronic format, and a physical medical record is not kept in the traditional file room of the health information department. The occasional stray hard copy form is scanned and then indexed into the electronic record.
Another model for EHR is a hybrid system in which parts of the record are electronic from the point of service (as those mentioned above), but hard-copy documents are used in some areas of the healthcare facility. In that case, the health information department acquires the hard-copy document and then scans and indexes the document into the electronic file.
Although all hard-copy and electronic systems are open to errors from humans entering information, the hybrid system has more possibilities for error. Its scanning and indexing process, for example, can more easily lead to indexing errors and misfiles when there is no bar code for indexing. Once "lost," electronic documents are more difficult to find than hard copies.
Therefore, some facilities bar code documents to reduce human error. In those systems, scanning the document automatically places it in the correct section of the electronic record. In some hybrid systems, hard-copy documents contain bar codes that reduce human error in the placement of the scanned document. …

Agreed. Audiences can learn to care about new characters as they have previous characters and crews. As long as plotlines and conflicts are introduced properly and not forced, fans will accept a new crew.
Maybe. But this long-time fan is done with the spinoiffs of spinoffs of spinoffs. From here on out, I'm only interested in Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise, the Star Trek source material. Just as I wouldn't be interested in a Sherlock Holmes series about any character other than Sherlock Holmes, or a Superman series not about Superman but some other superhero no one's ever heard of before.

Conners and Singleton combined for a memorable win in the Golden Slipper with Belle Du Jour in 2000.
Like Belle Du Jour, Dear Demi is by Dehere and Singleton said a start in the world's richest two-year-old race is on the radar after answering a phone call from the trainer in the enclosure following the win.
"Clarry, you've come good," he told Conners. "If she qualifies for the Slipper she'll be in it."
Dear Demi ( pic: Steve Hart ) wasn't the best away and settled back in the field but a solid early tempo aided her chances and at the top of the straight when the field fanned away from the inside Dear Demi's jockey Peter Robl elected to take "the shortest way home".
"She begins like she's going to show speed but she doesn't possess it," Robl said.
"We got on the back of Jimmy [Cassidy - Ashokan], then the back of Tatra and we had to decide which way I wanted to go.
"Near the fence was the shortest way home and there was plenty of room so that's the way we went."
Dear Demi set out after the leaders, charging to the front with 100 metres to go before moving clear over the later stages to defeat Ashokan with The Broken Shore finishing third. The favourite Tatra wound up in fourth.
"She's a lovely filly and the addition of blinkers, up to 1200 [metres] today really suited her," Robl said.
"I reckon there was a couple of smart ones in the race so it's a very good effort."
On - course betting: The winner Dear Demi opened at $4 before easing to $4.60. She was then backed in to start at $4.20. Ashokan opened at $4.40, eased to $6 before the punters charged in and he firmed to start the $4 while The Broken Shore eased from $3.40 to $4.80. Outside the placegetters, Tatra eased from $2.80 to $3.60 then firmed to $3.40 and he started the favourite favourite. The on-course market closed at 111 percent.

From the several local manufacturers that I talk to, it seems most everyone is seeing a slowing of incoming orders since the beginning of the year.� What seems to be causing this apparent or real slowdown?
Part of it could be the uncertainty of the impact on defense spending due to the sequester and the decision to let it go forward. With a reduction in the federal defense budget, some of that impact will be on reduced purchases of equipment of various types.
Another area of slowdown is the Eurozone region going into or being in a recession.� Its importance ...

Crazy Heartbeats
I've been dealing with my heart racing on and off for 4 years or so. I've gone to a cardiologist many times and he can't find anything wrong with me. I even had a heart sonogram to rule out mitral valve, and was told I had a normal, 30 year old heart. (That was three years ago). The Doc said it was probably SVT (supra ventricular tachycardia),and to come back if it started happening more often, I ever passed out, or it didn't resolve itself quickly. I have regular blood pressure so he said beta blockers aren't something to jump into right away. It only happens maybe once or twice a year, but it is ungodly scary when it does. Reading these posts in many ways is like reading my own story. It's many times positional, like if I bend over too fast. It will beat so fast that it feels like it's fluttering, followed by an horrid thump, a few palpitations, then back to normal all in the course of 30 seconds or more. When it beats really fast, it seems like it's not pumping. I'm usually an emotional wreck after it happens.I always panic when it happens, and I know by doing that I'm only dumping adreneline and making it worse, but I cannot help it. I also get the skipped beats from time to time. I used to consume too much alcohol, and have since found out that it's a poison to your heart. I was honest with my Doc and he said that was very likely the cause of it. I've had one episode since I quit drinking, but it was a pumping racing, not that horrid fluttering. I am also a smoker, I'm working on that one. I wish I could quit smoking as easily as I quit drinking. I also read in one post about the period factor. I've noticed I get palpitations around my period as well. My cardiologist did tell me that the heart and the hormones go hand in hand. I'm am feeling better about it, as it's been awhile since it's happened, but it is a source of anxiety because you worry it will happen again. I've always been a "type a" high anxiety type. Just wanted to share my story, reading these posts makes you feel better in that your not alone.
Hi Sully,
I have had SVT for about 20+ years. I am 47. It comes and goes...sometimes nothing for months and then the other day, two episodes (one lasted 6 minutes). It used to be triggered by bending over too fast, but now just happens anytime...It always seems worse when I am pregnant (maybe the hormones). It has landed me in emergency only twice. I have had lots of tests - sonograms, EKGs, wearing monitors on my wrist to record. I am now on a drug called Inderal... I only take 10 mg. It is a beta blocker. If I feel an episode coming on, I take 1-2 pills. My cardiologist told me that some people get them everyday and I am no where near that, so I don't really need to be on medication. It is not dangerous, just inconvenient when it happens, he said. But I know the feeling, after you have an episode, you are afraid to go anywhere, that It might happen again in the middle of the supermarket. Sometimes at the onset, I start to feel I might black out....He also gave me three things to do to get it to stop... I have had some episodes for 45 minutes (it feels like you have run a marthon afterwards).
The three things (they are kinda weird, but seem to work)
1. Gag yourself - something about the gag reflex can stop the palpitations.
2. Bear down, like you are having a bowel movement (don't know why this works)
3. Plunge your face in ice-cold water....
I have tried all, and they do work......
I too am a "Type A" personality. I don't drink or smoke though...I try to drink only de-caff, because caffeine is also a trigger.
Good Luck, Hope this helps.
Thanks for that, it's nice to know you're not alone. I haven't had any problems in over six months, I keep hoping it was the alcohol, but who knows. I don't drink at all anymore, so here's hoping. I have a friend who has it and she also told me about the bearing down thing. My biggest problem is that I freak out when it happens, so I dump adrenaline and make it worse. When you have it, does it sometimes beat so fast that it feels more like it's fluttering instead of beating? When I have those, it's hard to even feel my pulse in my neck. That one really, really, freaks me out. I read about it and the Mayo website said that it was atrial fibrillation, which is caused by an episode of SVT. I agree that it's a worrysome thing, because you do fear that it will happen again. Thank God mine only last a short time, I feel bad that you have longer episodes, that's got to be scary. Thanks for replying, and for your advice.
I just found this site and it looks pretty interesting. I also had the "crazy heartbeats" just as you describe. They would come and go, just as yours, BUT as time went by, it got worse. Finally in November of 1995 it got REALLY bad and by the time they got me to the E R the heart was just fluttering and the blood was starting to pool. The monitor in the E R said 650 beats a minute, but they assured me that it was meaningless because the heartbeat was so chaotic that it could not be accurately measured!! Now THAT was reassuring!! I spent a few days in Cardiac intensive care where they got it straightened out, but the drugs that were supposed to control it only worked for about six weeks and I was right back in the Hospital, worse than ever.
To make a LONG LONG story short, every drug eventually made it worse and some in fact, nearly killed me. I ended up with a full ablation and am now totally dependant on a pacemaker. BUT I have learned to take responsibility for my own health and have been drug free for six years, and never felt better!! In fact if I knew then what I know now, I probably could have avoided the pacemaker.
There is MUCH information out there, but the bottom line is that drugs are NOT the answer.

I lived for over 60 years with a very irregular heartbeat. However, I now at age 86, have a very regular heartbeat, 59 beats minute at rest. The cure? Flaxseed and flaxseed oil and LOW FAT cottage cheese. I used, and still do, one tablespoon of organic, cold pressed flaxseed oil, or two tablespoons of flaxseed, grounded in a blender. Then I add a quarter cup of lowfat cottage cheese. I then make a smoothie, which I have for breakfast. Why the cottage cheese? It's a rich source of sulfur, which helps in the efficient metabolism of the essential fatty acids of the flaxseed. But that's not all, at 86 my skin is as smooth as a young teenager. It is guarranted to regularise any irregular heartbeat. Use it with confidence.

It does the flutter thing too, or does one hard beat and then I tense up because I think IT's going to happen..... but when the SVT starts, my heart beats really hard and fast - I can see my shirt moving up and down, it is so fast and I can feel the pulse in my neck... The last time I went to the hospital it was at around 210 beats/minute and they gave me a shot of something to slow it down. Well, it felt like a heart attack - it went from fast to slow in 3 seconds and I felt like someone was sitting on my chest.... they said that was normal, since it slowed down so fast. I once had an episode in Starbucks, and everytime I went back I would get anxiety attacks.... so I had to stay away for awhile (hahaha)...but I really never know what will bring them on.... Sometimes I am just driving in my car, or walking through my house.... I usually try to lay down with my feet elevated and take deep calming breaths, when it happens....I try to drink more water also, don't know if that helps, but can't hurt.
I have for many years the same problem but magnesium worked for me.
I'm new here and I just have to make some comments about racing and irregular heart beats. Back in the early 1990's my husband had this same problem to the point of also ending up in the hospital to get his heart to stop beating so fast. "They" never could find out why, but we discovered a few years later that it was the Aspartame, which was causing the problems. Synthetic sugars are plain and simpley pure poison to our bodies. You all may wish to check out this website: http://www.dorway.com This is only one of the sites telling the truth about Aspartame and how it is outright killing us for someone's pure profit!
Aspartame, aka NutraSweet, etc., is in much more than just "sugar free" drinks and food. They sneek it into our everyday food and we just don't know it. Sucralose and Saccharin are no better, either. EQUAL is the same poison. http://www.dorway.com/badnews.html#symptoms
Here is a great group to join and check out for yourselves just what I am talking about: firstname.lastname@example.com
Stevia is just about the best substitute for sugar that you can find. We use it all the time. It works great!
If anyone wants to talk to me about this, please feel free to contact me personally at firstname.lastname@example.com as I probably won't be here much.
Oh, just one more thing. When my husband and I were consuming "sugar free" soft drinks, (HUGE MISTAKE!) I also had some racing heart beats, but I was always able to get my heart to stop beating so fast by just pounding on my chest with my fists for a few good pounds. I guess the pounding just knocked it back into rhythm and it worked every time. Neither one of us have this problem any more as we quit soft drinks entirely, but we once in a while have Lemonade from the soda fountains. One night I had a slight re-occurance of the racing heart beats and had to pound it to stop. The next time we ate at that place, I noticed that the Lemonade was "light" which means that it has Aspartame or some other artificial sugar in it. So, bottom line is read the labels before you buy any kind of food in this day and age!!
I hope this helps someone today.
I have studied this problem almost constantly for nearly ten years and very rarely is it caused by just one thing, although some folks do get relief, especially in the early stages from something as simple as Flax Seed, Cod liver oil or magnesium because this does correct common deficiencies. In my case it was caused mostly by chemical sensitivites, PLUS nutritional deficiencies. Actually, a well balanced body can handle chemical sensitivities or allergies much better. And the multitude of drugs compromised my bodies ability to properly absorb niutrients, so I improved dramatically when I corrected that.
The very best Doctor I have found on that problem is Dr Sherry Rogers, MD. She has written many books and does a monthly newsletter and recomends some very good testing that will take all the guesswork out of your problem. The main thing to remember is that your problem is NEVER EVER caused by a drug deficiency. She also does phone consults and was very helpful for me. Her work can be found at PrestigePublishing.com
Another very helpful and inexpensive thing to do is to Alkalize your body. Bad things happen in an overly acid body. There are a lot of websites on this. Just Google Acid Alkaline Diet. Beverly Taylor has a pretty good program on this. And I have also been helped tremendously by Chinese Herbal nutritional (nothing medicinal) foods and drinks from Sunrider International. I would not be without them.
Two other Doctors helped a lot and they are Dr Julian Whitaker, from Newport Beach, Ca. and Dr Bruce West from Santa Barbara, Ca.
Lot's of other stuff out there, but these three Doctors were the best for me.
You can't imagine how it makes me feel, when I read your page. I am thirty one.
A year ago on sept. 11th (ya I know) I woke up in the morning after A long weekend of
drinking. I was awake for about an hour, I felt fine. I went to the carwash and all of
a sudden I felt something move in my chest. I started hyperventilating and felt like I was
going under. So after several visits to the E.R. I went to see my DR. we did all the heart
tests, including a stress test. He concluded that I have acid reflux. All of things you have
described - well most symptoms ( I'm male ! )
I have experienced. I am over weight, chew copenhagen, and love mexican
food. I noticed that every time I drink. The next morning I have heart palpatations for at
least the first thirty seconds when I wake up. When I chew alot, I get heart palpitations.
The one thing that worries me, just like you. Did I do real damage to my heart from all
the partying I have done? The docs don't seem to be worried about my heart, or anything
else, not my weight, not my chewing, not my diet, at least as far as my hearts health. Some
things you might watch and see if there seems to be any coralation. What kind of food you
are eating when this happens, have you been smokeing alot, did you get enough sleep.I
can't explain what the hell s going on, but I know it has alot to due with what I consume.
When I eat something spicy, with in ten minuates my heart will be raceing. I think my main
problem is the chew. You might watch how much you smoke, and see if theres a link .
Hope this rambeling mess helps.
Hey freakinout,
I've spent alot of time trying to figure out the cause of my heart episodes, and the main factor I think was the alcohol. I quit drinking completely after my last bad episode, which was seven months ago. I mean totally quit drinking, have not had a drop, and I feel so much better. I know the smoking and the caffeine can be a trigger, but for me I really think it was the overuse of alcohol causing my problems. The first thing that people don't realize is the fact that alcohol is a stimulant and it significantly raises blood pressure. It also dehydrates you and sucks all the potassium and B-12 from your system, and messes up your electrolytes. All of the above contribute to your heart and how it functions. There's even a syndrome called "holiday heart", caused by heavy drinking, which is the palpitations and irregular heartbeat some people experience the "morning after". I used to have my heart beat really fast in the morning after drinking, and since I've stopped, that no longer happens. People just think drinking affects your liver, but the truth is, it is just as poisonous to your heart, and it's also really bad on your stomach. You can go to the internet and find out all kinds of stuff about alcohol and it's effects on your heart. The Mayo Clinic has a great website. I've never had food seem to affect me, but everyone is different. Hormones have a role, too. Even though your a guy, you still have fluctuations in hormone levels. I would suggest you lay off the alcohol for a while and see if that changes how you feel. For me, it was the best thing I ever did for myself. You don't realize how crappy it makes you feel until you quit.
Good Luck!
Good Morning, All of You Wonderful People!
I say that not to be phoney, but in extreme sincerity because of the great admiration I have for all of you having gone through this myself. I have to say that as fearful as these episodes are, they really end up making us strong individuals. And just wait until the years have gone by without them; then it's your and my mission in life to give help to these sufferers as we were. It's an easy thing to do because I have so much compassion for all of you, knowing exactly what you are going through or have gone through.
Before I go on, I just want to tell you that a good, hard "cough" will also help put the heart back in rhythm in a second's time.
I can't tell you how many trips I made to the emergency room with PVC's (Premature Ventricular Contractions) which are "skipped" heartbeats which eventually were accompanied with major panic attacks. After the doctor's told me that they were "nothing" but skipped beats, that most people have them but only about 50% of the people actually feel them, I still did not believe them. I just knew I was going to have a heart attack and, boy, would they be sorry that they wrongly diagnosed me! ;) I can tell you that due to these episodes and a few episodes of SVT, I found myself withdrawing from everyone and I could barely concentrate on what my children would talk to me about after school. My mental concentration was nil! I couldn't focus on anything meaningful for long except for the beat of my heart. For many, many years I had a habit of putting my fingers and thumb around the beat in my throat, just waiting for some abnormal heartbeat. This was mainly while in my 30's due to a traumatic event in which, while I was 35 weeks pregnant, my appendix ruptured and the peritonitis went from my system into my baby's system. She was born 30 hours after my surgery, premature and very, very sick. The doc said her chances for survival were very slim. I was in such a state of shock from the excruciating pain, then the surgery and then Jennie's birth that when he told me she may not live, I took it as if he had said there was no more sugar for my coffee.
It took 5 months after she was born when we were at home before the first arrythmias began. One day I felt perfectly fine and then next day my life changed forever. I know this was due to the trauma, anesthesia ( twice in 30 hours), suppressed fear as I was told several times that it was a miracle that both of us were still alive. I have very delayed reactions to big traumatic events. I'm a trooper while it's going on, but months later it all hits me. I became agoraphobic and stopped driving for a few years, never went back to a place where I had a panic attack and, later, could only go 5 blocks from home before I'd start feeling that I was blacking out from hyperventilation. I carried a brown paper lunch bag with me to breathe in and out of at all times, if necessary.
One of the docs put me on Inderal and the idiot started me out at 80 mgs! I had to hold myself up at the counters walking around the kitchen. Well, I quickly stopped taking that. During that time of the month, no, actually during ovulation is when I would feel those crazy beats the most. I had fibroid tumors but didn't know it, but my periods were coming closer together, PMS was horrible and I'd plan my divorce or suicide every month around that time. Eventually, I had only one good week a month that I wasn't a bitch, yelling and screaming at my poor kids and husband or just crying my eyes out! I felt so much guilt that I finally went to my OB-GYN and demanded that he give me a hysterectomy, completely and totally. He was a doll, telling me that none of this was my fault, that my mind was being controlled by my body, not the normal, other way around. He concurred that it would be best for me. By then I was 42 and already had 3 children. He, of course, asked the famous question, "What if something happened and I lost all three of my kids?" Would I want more~~I told him no as no other child could replace any of my beloved children. So, he did the deed and it was the best thing I ever did. When they sent all to pathology, they found hundreds of fibroid tumors in my uterus.
I know this is very long, but I wanted to point out that many things can make your heartbeats irregular. I think the gentleman with the pacemaker story is the exception rather than the rule and I was very much concerned that his experience would scare the rest of you tremendously, but please...don't let that bother you. Trust your doctors, especially when they've given every test possible. Give yourselves the gift of trust in their knowledge and peace will eventually come even in the midst of the tachycardia or fluttering or skipping.
I am now 63 years old and a very proud grandma of 10 and even prouder great-gramma of 1 beautiful, perfect and precious boy, Brayden Michael! I haven't had PVC's, SVT's or any other XYZ's (lol) in years. I still drink my few glasses of chardonnay each night after 12 - 13 hours of work supporting 50 systems engineers all day, still smoke about a half a pack of cigarettes every day and use aspartame in my coffee and cereal everyday!
I pray that you all will listen to your doctors (I do know that there are a few nuts out there), believe in the tests, try to stop focusing on your heartbeats, live in the present and one moment at a time. I do believe that we are pre-destined to live a certain number of years on this earth and also that we get to come back again another time to try to perfect the last "mistakes" which I completely believe are not mistakes, but opportunities for growth. I'm not trying to convince anyone to believe the way I do, but I have ultimate faith that we are meant to go through every single thing that we experience in this life, that there is growth for us in all things "good" or "bad".
I hope I've helped someone if even just a little bit. I will be sending positive thoughts your way in the hopes that our Creator will bring you the peace and freedom from fear you so desire.
God bless you all, Ladies and Gentlemen, you are very special people.
P.S. Congrats to those of you who have quit drinking so heavily. We all know our limits and I think it's great that you've conquered the habit if it was the source of your problems!!
Hi Mary,
What a wonderful post, I love the wisdom and insight years give to women. I agree with your outlook on life, that we're mapped out from the day we're born and worrying and stressing only takes away from the good life God intends for us to have. That's easier said than done sometimes, though. Thank you for the P.S. at the end, I drank too much and knew it, yet continued doing it. I'd wake up in the morning feeling like hell, telling myself "no more", then right back to it that evening. I truly believe that the Lord found the one thing to get my attention to make me stop drinking, a scare with my heart that caused me great anxiety almost daily. I got sick of drinking, sick of worrying about what it would do to my heart the next day, so sick of feeling guilty about it. I knew deep in my heart that drinking everyday was not the life He intended for me to have. So after my last deal with my heart, I went to Him and said, "Okay, that's it, you have my attention. I will quit as of now, but I'm gonna need your help". It was like He'd been tossing stones to get my attention, then decided to get out the bricks. It is so amazing what can happen when you repent and let God work in your life, to feel the presence of God when you need it the most. I give Him the glory for beating an addiction that send most people to rehab for six months.
For whatever reason, I have the "I don't know when to quit" button when it comes to alcohol. Maybe it's genetics, I don't really know or care. I cannot stand to hear people blame everyone and everything but themselves for their problem with alcohol. I take full responsibility for my actions, and decided I was done with it. I haven't had a drink since March of this year, and never plan to again. I don't know what one would lead to, so I just don't drink at all. I'd no sooner crack open a bud light than stick my hand in a pot of boiling water, it's just no longer an option. And the wonderful thing it, I don't miss it anymore. I can say that with 100% honesty.
So, life IS good. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your optimism.
Sully: I just read your letter and thought that I had written it. Your symptoms and mine are (were) identical, even to the way these attacks varied. I was treated by my physician for several years starting with Inderal, Propranolol and finally, Atenolol. When one drug did not work, he switched me to another. I trusted that he knew what was best and never questioned him. Since I never smoked or drank, was not overweight and have always had a good diet, I assumed that it was not serious. I was so wrong. It all ended with a heart attack and several angioplasties.
I was so fortunate to receive immediate emergency treatment, in one of the best hospitals and this saved my life. A serious danger to these skipped heartbeats can be the formation of clots and the very possible risk of a stroke. In my case, it was the heart attack.
My life was saved and I am almost back to "normal" but I will be taking medication(expensive) for the rest of my life.
Please, all of you, if you have these symptoms....Please see a CARDIOLOGIST!
And,.... while I think of it, make sure you have a good Health Plan. The hospitalization, (five days) doctors, tests, drugs and procedures have cost almost $60,000.
Good Luck!.......Maraid
Hi Sully
this is kind of weird because I thought I was the only one going through this stuff. LOL
I will be 31 in 5 months and a month before I turned 30 I was standing outside my children's school waiting for them to come out and my heart started pounding really fast. My friend asked what was wrong and before I could tell her my heart was racing so fast I couldn't speak. She took me home thinking it was anxiety but my Mother showed up and couldn't get a proper pulse so took me to emergency. My heart was going 297 beats a minute. They injected something that your body makes naturally to slow the heart down but I thought I was going to die. They told me this happens to alot of people that do cocaine and is there something I need to tell them. My rollercoaster ride with doctors started then. I told them to do whatever tests they want to do I only smoke and every now and then have a drink. After ruling out drugs from my blood work the doctor then told me this sometimes happens for no reason and that it will probably never happen again. Yeah right. It has happened a few times but I am able to stop it on my own. My cardiologist said that after listening to the recordings from the halter i wore my heart beats too fast at all times. When sleeping the lowest my heart went was 78. So now I am on a beta blocker even though my blood pressure is great and besides the side effects of the meds at first I feel better. With the simple fact that even walking upstairs my heart starts pounding and feels like its going to fall out of my chest. Now what I am trying to deal with is anxiety from this. I am terrified to go to sleep because I think I will die and I worry nonstop so I live in one constant anxiety trip. Lorazepam isn't working for me and they said I need to learn to deal with the stress. Easy for them to say that. I am shaky all the time and my chest feels like its hollow and echoing. I feel every beat of my heart and I swear it isn't beating normal. I have stressed myself out so bad that my body is so tensed up that i walk around with a kink in my neck that affects my throat and I feel like someone is choking me. I am having a really hard time dealing with all this and was wondering if maybe you had some pointers to share with me. Its sad that there is this condition but it also helps me out because I thought I was the only one having this problem.
Dear Canadiens girl
You are MUCH too young for this, but it happens. I have been fighting this problem for 11 years. Quite successfully I might add. In fact I am leaving in a few minutes to do a demo at a Health Fair at a University center where I teach others how to help themselves.
The bottomn line is that YOU MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH !! Drugs do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT cure anything. At best they will "manage" the problem, but at worst they will kill you. They very nearly did kill me and I thank God that some responsible people took me under their wing and showed me how, and I am now drug free and symptom free for the last six years !! And I feel GREAT !!
Some super good books on the subject are Deadly Medicine by Thomas J Moore and also Heart Failure by Thomas J Moore. Another excellent resource is Dr Sherry Rogers M D. I credit her with saving my life. She says that when Doctors tell you it is an "anxiety attack" or that it's all in your head, DO NOT WALK OUT OF HIS OFFICE. RUN !!!! Run as if your life depends upon it, because it does. They have no idea what to do for you and will randomly throw pills at you until you are dead or in a nursing home. Sounds kind of harsh, but I know it's true. Dr Rogers does not have a website, but her books and Newsletter can be found at Prestigepublishing.com. One thing you can do immediately, and that is start taking liquid magnesium ASAP !!! If your health food store does not have it you can Google Water Oz and order on line from a variety of places. Start out with three or four times the recommended daily dose. It cannot hurt you, unlike the drugs.
I have eleven years of constant research on this problem and will be glad to share my library of info. I have to run to the Health Fair now, but feel free to email me at email@example.com
By the way, I only pass on information from SUCCESFUL Doctors
The Rebounder Guy
Canadiensgirl: In your hectic day, do you ever find time for yourself? You seem to be stressing out over your symptoms and without meaning to are adding to them. Stop listening to your heart!
The best thing you can do for yourself and your heart no matter what its condition is to exercise. I'm sure that you can steal 30 minutes for a good brisk walk. But, the secret is to do it regularly, everyday if you can. Try 10 minutes in the morning after the kids go to school, and another 10 or 15 minutes in the afternoon if you can. Do this for two weeks and you will see a dramatic difference. Think happy thoughts, breathe deeply, look around at the trees, the birds, the sky....focus on the beauty in your world and stop turning inward. No matter what the condition of your heart, it will improve and become stronger. Forget about the beds and the house work. You are more important during that time span than anything than anything else in your world. The kids are safely in school. Just get out and move.
I know what I am talking about. I didn't exercise at all. I thought that being on the go everyday was enough! Besides, by the time the kids were in school and the housework and the shopping were done, I was too tired to do anything else! In addition, I had AFib. as you do and I thought that I needed rest. Wrong!
My doctor, at the time, (not a cardiologist) had me on a number of different drugs to regulate my heart beat. Nothing worked. I trusted him but he was wrong. It took a heart attack to get me the help I needed. I now have a wonderful cardiologist who, today, gave me the most wonderful news! My heart is almost at 100%. The secret? Exercise! Regular exercise! For six months I have been walking twice a day. I feel wonderful! I am stronger, happier and more relaxed than ever! So, stop worrying and get out there and move.
Best of luck. maraid
Hi canadiensgirl,
Well, I was going to post you a bunch of wise words of wisdom, but I'm freaking out today because I had an episode with my heart this morning that has left me shaken. It was the typical fluttery-racing feeling and it felt like it was outside out of my chest. I called my Dad (in a panic, of course), and it resolved itself quickly once I stopped freaking and bore down really hard. The whole episode was only 30 seconds or so, but as always, it felt like a lifetime. It bummed me out because I had really though once I quit drinking my troubles with this would be behind me...
Now, this is the funny part of this.... can anxiety trigger an episode? Anyone out there with any advice, I'd love to hear it.
My husband is out of town until Friday, and I've been dreading this trip for a week and was miserable yesterday when he left. I worried about him being on an airplane and everytime I allow myself to think about how far away he is (Denver, Colorado - we live in North Carolina), I get an icy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I even thought to myself over the weekend "Man, it would suck if my heart acts up when he's gone". VERY concidental, wouldn't you say???? I'm left wondering if anxiety or something subliminal triggered this attack, almost like a half-as*ed panic attack. I'm also ovulating (sorry, guys for the TMI), and I know hormones play a role in this. Maybe a combination of the two (anxiety and hormones) were just too much.
Part of me is freaking out, and part of me is saying "no way, we're not going down that road again" with the constant worry about my heart. I've gone to a cardiologist four times over the past four years, and each time he tells me that it's 1) SVT, 2) it's not going to kill me, 3) I only need to come back if it starts happening more often than a couple times a year or doesn't resolve itself quickly or I ever pass out, and 4) stop smoking, limit caffeine, and stop drinking. I quit the drinking, but the smoking is another story. I have no reason to distrust this doctor, he's a very well respected cardiologist and I don't feel like he's blowing me off. Like us all here, just trying to understand the "why" of it is the hardest part.
So the main advice I would like to give you is you have to stop thinking about it constantly. I am a firm believer that the mind can affect the body. I don't know if you're a Christian or not, but if you are prayer can be very helpful. You will eventually decide for yourself that you cannot live constantly wound up and worried all the time. Getting involved in activities that help others is also very helpful. Sometimes when you take the focus off of yourself and put it on to someone else, it can be very healing. Best of luck to you sweetie, I know it's easier said than done, but in time you will have some peace of mind over this.

Cruising Around San Francisco by James-FoxtaurWatch
©2012-2015 James-Foxtaur
Having recently acquired the game, "Driver: San Francisco", a game which I had been looking forward to playing for nearly a year, I can't find many good excuses to pull away from it. It's a fun, clever, and deeply under rated game that doesn't get as much attention that it deserves. One of my personal favorite things to do is hop into an old car and cruise around the Bay Area without a care in the world. One of my favorite cars, a car which I've come to deeply admire, the 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Pictured here with my fursona driving, this is my first picture I've tried that doesn't involve any line-work, and I've enjoyed it as a chance to improve, and really test my potential as an artist, go beyond the boundaries of the inking process all together.
I'm quite proud of this picture, and hope I can continue leaping forward with my artistic ability in future pieces.

Engine problem delays US rocket launch
A possible engine problem has delayed the launch of a US Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to the International Space Station (ISS). An onboard computer aborted the launch of the privately owned rocket 0.5 seconds before liftoff, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell told reporters. A computer monitoring the rocket's nine engines detected a climbing pressure reading in an engine's chamber on Saturday when the trial cargo run was about to start. The next launch opportunity of the Space Exploration Technologies company is at 3:44 a.m. EDT (0744 GMT) on Tuesday. The company will be the first to send an unmanned rocket, carrying a Dragon cargo capsule, to the International Space Station. Since the US space shuttles were retired last year, NASA has been dependent on its partner countries to fly cargo and crew. TE/TE

The long list of titles and terms describing the life of Suzanne Brangham just got longer.
To the end of the list that includes artist, author, entrepreneur, restaurateur, real estate developer, committee chair, culinary school founder, hotel owner and volunteer extraordinaire, you now have to add alcaldessa.
On Monday night, the City Council
unanimously selected Brangham as the 2014 Sonoma alcaldessa and then promptly called her cell phone while she was attending a Sebastiani Theatre event and jointly announced their congratulations.
Brangham has lived in Sonoma for some 25 years and founded The General's Daughter restaurant in the 1870 Victorian house on West Spain Street built by Attila Haraszthy and Natalia Vallejo, daughter of the general. In doing so she rescued the neighborhood from a subdivision future. On land next door, she founded Ramekins Culinary School and subsequently bought an old farmhouse on Broadway, renovated it and opened MacArthur Place.

Early Release in International Criminal Law
Choi, Jonathan H., The Yale Law Journal
NOTE CONTENTS INTRODUCTION I. CURRENT DOCTRINE A. Sentencing at the ICTs B. The Statutes and the Four Factors C. Confusion over Parole and Clemency D. Looking Forward: The International Criminal Court and Other Tribunals II. A theory of early release in international law A. The Goals of International Criminal Law B. Relevant Factors 1.

Summary III. OBJECTIONS A. Expressive Law B. Incomplete Information IV. IMPLICATIONS CONCLUSION
On October 27, 2009, Biljana Plavsic finally returned home to Belgrade. (1) It was a sunny autumn afternoon, and the locals treated her to a triumphal reception as she traveled from the airport to her apartment. Plavsic wore a bright smile and a fur coat; she received hugs and kisses from passers-by along the way, escorted by the Bosnian Serb Prime Minister himself. (2) She had spent the last six years in a Swedish prison. (3)
In 2000, Plavsic was indicted by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for genocide, crimes against humanity, violations of the laws and customs of war, and grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions. (4) The Prosecutor alleged that Plavsic had masterminded a policy of racial extermination and persecution as a member of the three-person Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. (5) She had enthusiastically endorsed ethnic cleansing of Muslims and Croats, and achieved global notoriety after a 1992 photograph showed her greeting fellow war criminal Zeljko Raznatovic with a kiss over the dead body of a Muslim civilian. (6)
Plavsic garnered further fame by surrendering to the Tribunal shortly after her indictment (7) and pleading guilty in 2002. Plavsic vowed: 'The knowledge that I am responsible for such human suffering and for soiling the character of my people will always be with me." (8) In exchange, the Prosecutor agreed to drop all charges except persecution (9) (a crime against humanity (10)), and Plavsic received a sentence of eleven years. (11)
However, in a January 2009 interview with Sweden's Vi Magazine, Plavsic withdrew her confession and her apology. She described them as pieces of political opportunism intended solely to reduce her sentence, claiming, I sacrificed myself. I have done nothing wrong. I pleaded guilty to crimes against humanity so I could bargain for the other charges." (12)
Plavsic gave the interview in an apparent fit of pique after the Swedish authorities rejected her initial application for a pardon in December 2008. (13) In the same interview, she took potshots at the Swedish Ministry of Justice, complaining that "[n]one of the other prisoners have read a single book," and that "[y]our country has nothing to be proud of." (14) Plavsic had seemingly resigned herself to her scheduled release date in 2012--commentators noted that her evident lack of rehabilitation had hurt her chances for early release, perhaps fatally. (15)
But the President of the ICTY disagreed. In the decision approving Plavsic's early release, President Patrick Robinson contended that she had exhibited "substantial evidence of rehabilitation" (16) based in part on her "good behavior during the course of her incarceration." (17) He also noted her cooperation with the Prosecutor (18) and, perhaps most importantly, the fact that she had already served two thirds of her sentence, the customary proportion entitling her to early release. (19)
Although Plavsic was only one of many criminals to be released early by the ICTY, victims groups and prominent politicians were particularly vehement about her case. Representatives of an association of Muslim and Croat camp victims complained that the decision had "nothing to do with justice"--that the ICTY had failed to think about the blood of so many of our children, whom we are still digging out of mass graves. …

Race, gender remain workplace barriers in Ontario, Census data reveal
Racial discrimination and sexism are to blame for lower pay, higher unemployment and higher poverty rates for visible minority Ontarians, new report says.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Emely Espinosa came to Canada from the Philippines in 1988 with a university degree in science and commerce, hoping for a better life for her husband and disabled son.
After working for two years as a live-in caregiver, Espinosa became certified as a lab technician but couldn't find full-time work.
She and her husband landed full-time auto parts jobs which offered steady employment for 11 years, but when the plant went bankrupt in July 2008, both of them lost their incomes. They have been looking for full-time work ever since.
"We have used all our savings," Espinosa she said. The family is now living off a loan against their Richmond Hill home.
The Espinosas are not alone.
A new report based on 2005 Census data being released Thursday, shows that visible minorities in Ontario are far more likely to live in poverty, have trouble finding a job and earn less in the workplace.
Sexism and racial discrimination "pack a double wallop," for visible minority women who earned 53.4 cents for every dollar a white man earned, said economist Sheila Block who wrote the report for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
"The Census data reveals that in 2005, at the height of pre-recession economic prosperity, women from racialized backgrounds working in Ontario faced real barriers to success," she said. "They earned about half as much as non-racialized men.
"There's no doubt the situation is worse today."
The report points to the urgent need for Ontario to re-introduce employment equity legislation that was dropped in the mid 1990s, Block said.
Statistics Canada in its 2008 report on income from 2005 Census data, found that recent immigrant men earned 63 cents for every dollar earned by Canadian-born men. Recent female immigrants earned just 54 cents.
Block used the same data to examine the impact of race on earnings, employment and poverty and picked Ontario because it has the largest number of workers from the 12 visible minority groups identified in the Census.
When she factored out age, education and immigration status, Block found:
• Workers from visible minority groups faced unemployment rates of 8.7 per cent compared to 5.8 per cent for all Ontario workers.
• Visible minority workers were paid 77.5 cents for every dollar a white worker earned.
• Visible minority families were three times more likely to live in poverty, with poverty rates of 18.7 per cent, compared to 6 per cent for white families.
Espinosa, who upgraded her lab technician qualifications last year, has been working part-time in a doctor's office for $10 an hour since January to improve her resume. But she says she feels uneasy every time she goes to a job interview.
"If I go to apply for a job where the employer is white, I think they would probably want to hire a white person," said Espinosa, 54. "My age is probably a problem too. It's very hard."

Winner of the Silver Bear in Berlin in 1990, Xie Fei's film is a politically daring tale of urban alienation and despair. A former prisoner, played by the great Chinese actor Jiang Wen, arrives back in his native Beijing to find that he has no family or prospects or friends, just his underworld contacts trying to drag him back into a life of crime... Taking the classic crime thriller 'hook' – ex-con struggling to go straight – Black Snow emerges as a powerful study of displacement. It takes place at the shattering juncture of the student movement and the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and vividly captures the social impact of potential political change at that time.

I've been trying forever to figure out how to make new armor variants. I have millions of ideas but I get as far as importing an armor into Blender and editing it a little, and then I get totally stumped as to what to do next.
For a million thanks, can someone please make a version of the female vampire armor that doesn't cover the arms (except for the pauldrons) or the legs?
I want to use it and retexture it for an optional outfit in my Dark Assassins armor mod. If you could do this for me I will definitely credit you.
P.S. I would need it to be CBBE compatible.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Water authority to tap into alert system
The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County is preparing to implement an automated public notification system that would alert residents when there is a threat to their drinking water supplies.
The notification process, which authority Manager Chris Kerr estimates could cost about $100,000 annually, will be required by the state Department of Environmental Protection for all public water suppliers.
Gov. Ed Rendell directed the agency to improve notification procedures after a December 2005 fluoride spill at a York County treatment plant caused elevated levels in the water supply, but a "do not consume" advisory was not released to the media for almost two hours.
The acceptable notification systems include an automatic dialer that would call all customers in an affected region to deliver a recorded message.
Although the system could have some other benefits, Kerr called it an "unfunded mandate" imposed on the authority without requisite funds.
"There's no other way to recover costs but our rate base," he said Thursday.
Authority officials have been working with the Pennsylvania Rural Water Association to learn more about the system, said Joe Hohman, president of Resource Development and Management Inc., the authority's private manager.
Association officials are recommending that authorities choose a New Jersey company, Swiftreach, to set up their systems.
The Hampton Township Municipal Authority in Allegheny County decided Wednesday night to contract with Swiftreach, manager Sam Scarfone said.
Officials are working toward a January implementation for that system, he said.
"We wanted to get on board quickly," said Scarfone, a Pennsylvania Rural Water Association officer. "We believe it's going to catch on."
DEP officials are finalizing the parameters for the notification process.
An agency spokesman did not return a message yesterday requesting comment.
