text: This is a rifle i will be taking on a survival trip this summer. I thought long and hard about what to bring and ended up with the model 42. I think MSRP is $430, i paid $360. Some brief impressions: Trigger: decent, i can work with it. Front Sight: atrocious, the bead is tapered large to small from muzzle to aft and covers the whole bulls eye at 20 yards. Rear Sight: Not horrible, but not great. I'm going to swap for an aftermarket peep. 22 Barrel: seems okay. with the horrid sights i was able to shoot pretty tight groups. 410 Barrel: Needs a choke. Shot an 18" pattern at 20yds with no6 hunting shot. I wouldn't shoot at a grouse or quail outside of 15 yards. I'm wondering if a gunsmith could do some sort of screw in choke. Overall, i have to say i like it despite it's warts. It's just so light and handy and points really well. With improved sights and a little better range for the shotgun and i will love it. I took my 7 year old daughter for her very first marksmanship session and it was perfect. I like how the action really slows everything down and makes for very deliberate movements. It's an ugly rifle in my opinion. Not that it bothers me much, i have lots of sexy rifles, this is a knockabout tool. But i've been wanting to try my hand at painting one for awhile and i think it looks quite a bit better. Red on black has never been my thing. Before: After: (sorry for the cellphone pics)

Bump, update on the Western Field/Marlin 30-30.
Anyone else picked up one of these in the last couple of years?
I fixed the cracked stock on mine, but it has a petrified recoil pad on it that needs to be replaced. I have some odds and ends Marlin lumber and have a stock with a Pachmayr pad from an 1895, and n end cap style fore arm that fits the 30-30 barrel profile. I'm going to try mounting these on the old Western Field and give it a bit of a facelift. This gun came with walnut stocks but they are very plain and finished with a very dark stain of some kind.

Meet The Irish
President Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States, a Democrat, was in office. The Vietnam War raged on. His wife Lady Bird (nee Taylor) was forever at his side to assist and encourage him. They had two children.
The history books tell us that Johnson was Vice President when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. And on that date Johnson became President. It was one of the most dramatic days in American history. As we know people from all over the world were traumatized with the events of that day.
President Johnson was a Liberal who introduced extensive anti-poverty programs. He is known to have said, "I have called for a national war on poverty- our objective- total victory!"
Johnson, a schoolteacher cum politician, then president extended the war in Namm and people took to the streets in protest. It was the 1960's. These protests took many forms. The war in Namm was not going well. A quagmire it was called! Perhaps it was seeing President Nixon's book on the sideboard, "No More Vietnam's", and the viewing of "Platoon", the Oscar-winning movie on TV the other evening, which brought back the memories to us. Those were times of tears and confusion in America.
At that time we had our gift shop, the humble Irish Cottage in Rockaway. Many of you will recall we did our radio shows live from there. This was where NBC-TV found us and did a documentary on our live broadcasts that was aired coast-to-coast. The famous author Jimmy Breslin made an occasional visit. He based his bestseller "World Without End Amen" on people he met at The Irish Cottage.
You didn't have to be Irish to enjoy our live two hours on the air ballad sessions. This was a big folk era. Each song told a story. We seemed to have hit the headlines and the high spots in society. Invitations poured in from all quarters. Our show traveled far. Politicians from Ireland even came to Rockaway. It was a unique kind of magazine from the Irish American perspective.
We had tearful parents, families and lovers of armed forces personnel who were serving in Vietnam, forever on the phone and stopping in to ask us to play a request and send greetings to their loved ones. There was such an outpouring of people that we finally said okay. We made contact and offered to go and do a few shows from Vietnam with the service people "over there" sending their requests back home to the folks over here. When the President's people reviewed the idea, the President issued an order that our show be broadcast over the Asian networks. The initial show was broadcast and heard in hospitals, rest and recreational areas, as well as in the jungles and by the fleet. Also it was picked up in Australia and Hawaii.
We forget how many millions of people heard our tribute to our national Irish Saint! But you can be sure it was a lively show, not droopy, not sad, but full of love kisses and hugs by loved ones half a world away. Who said radio was dead in those days?
Judging from the sacks of mail and "thank you's" received, Margie and I know that an historic day for radio happened the day the sounds of Irish music reached the ears of Irish Americans and their companions on that Irish National holiday St. Patrick's Day, March 17th. From the field, from the Australian personnel came the "thank you's" and congratulations. Also from very V.I.P. people in Washington, D.C. We were happy to be of service.
Our dear beloved Margie wrote the above script as if she knew dangerous criminals would be always at America's door ready to destroy this beautiful country. So Margie you taught generous children to be ready, loving to the stars and stripes of America. I explained to a friend that Margie was an American hero as she died in my arms crying to come home to her beloved home America to help the poor.
Pray for all. We all love you Margie.

Thanks Cliff;
Good review, but in a world of limited time noone can be expected to catch everything. A few comments/updates from an owner of an EX-F1:
1. Startup time is halved to 2 secs at most by installing the latest firmware (v. 1.02).
2. You do get 60 shots in a sequence. But you are not limited to having them all in one or two seconds. You can have them at 60, 30, 20, 15, 10 or less shots/second, so for instance at 10 shots per second you have 6 seconds of shhoting time. (You can also shoot at about 2 shots per second indefinitely using AUTO-N).
3. You say "of course" you can't save a burst of RAW images. You can't, but it's not "of course". The camera buffers raw images in its 512mb internal memory, and converts them to jpeg on save. Technically, you could save the raw images ... but it would take about 5 minutes, so I suspect Casio simply disallowed it as an option.
4. You don't really mention the precapture mode. This allows one to half-press the shutter. Images are now written to the internal buffer, cyclically. So, if for example you chose 20 shots per second and a 40 shot buffer, at any point in time you have the last 2 seconds of shooting in the buffer. Pressing the shutter fully saves 2 seconds of shots from before you pressed the shutter, and 1 second after.
So, if for example you're shooting your child's soccer match, all you have to do is stand near the goal, track the action, and when the ball goes in, press the shutter. You -know- you've got all the action as you have the 2 seconds before you pressed.
5. The video isn't full 1080p. It's 1080i, 60 fields per second. Of course, that could be de-interlaced to 1080p/30. As most TVs do 1080p/24, in some ways it's a pity that isn't offered as an option. It does do 720p/60, and pretty good video too.
6. For some reason, many people get upset over the fact that there is no sound with the slow motion videos. A moment's thought will prove of course that on replay at normal speed the sound would be slowed down 10 times (or more for the faster ones) and so be incomprehensible.
7. The movement-sensor feature is pretty clever. You can set the camera up pointing at an area of interest (say a flower), press the shutter, and walk away. When a bird visits the flower, the camera detects the movement, and shoots. Hey presto, 60 high speed shots of the action.
8. Conclusion: Value for money? If you don't actually want all those features, poor. Apart from impressing the neighbors, a Ferrari is an absolute waste of money if you don't want to drive fast. If you DO want the special features the camera has ... there's no alternative on the market. Some DSLRs can get good speed - the D40 will do 7 shots/second. But it's more expensive once you start buying lenses, and doesn't do video. For me, its - the Casio EX-F1: $1,200 in Australia. Catching my son in the air with his hands held high and a smile on his face as the ball goes into the net: priceless. 1/10th of a second either side of that shot, you can't see his face, or he's blocked by another player.
Wow, missed this one first time round. This looks like 80 per cent of my dream camera - super high speed shooting, HD video, and versatile lens all in one package. If only the lens was a more sensible range - 28mm (or lower) to 200mm, say. Without a wider wide angle, it is never going to replace an SLR or even conventional bridge camera. Then obviously the price is ridiculous.
some people expect a lot! - when is one fixed lens camera going to satisfy an enthusiast's every needs? seems to me that it does things no other camera does, and it doesnt cost a professional price - so why is this ridiculous? - having read the review, I'm having one!!
This EX-F1 has things other Superzoom cameras don't - Focus ring around barrel, external audio jack, threaded lens for filters, hot shoe.
I was looking at the Sony HX-1 and Canon SX1 IS. They are the 2 most popular cameras but they don't have most of the features above.
The list price being a whopping $999 is a big problem. It's twice the price of the Sony an d Canon BUT I'm almost willing to pay something in the range of $700-800 for it because Casio cared enough to put things on it that pro photogs use. The slow motion is just a great bonus toy for me but not my main reason for wanting to get it. Is this really from Casio? Amazing.
If you're still interested in this camera, you might want to shop around for the price. In December 2009 I purchased the camera for £435 new in the box. There is still nothing like it around in terms of resolution and frames per second, especially if you're interested in high-speed photography/videography.
We made a budget music video with the camera and with a little creative help from 3rd-party applications, you can upscale the resolution (300fps produces acceptable results). Have a look at our test preview here: http://www.vimeo.com/8550023
Love this camera, waiting for Casio's next version!
Just got mine. The high-speed modes are cool.
I'm looking for a feature to allow HD video shutter control.
The "Best Shot" mode is indicated when I review a video. But the supposed "fast shutter" modes do not seem to effect HD video recording. There's almost no documentation on how "Best Shot" modes effect video.
Tech support also owns a copy of the manual... that's about the nicest thing to be said about that.
I absolutely love this camera and I have only the most basic of photography experience. I wish there was some tutorials to explain many of the features in plain English.
The slow motion is incredible. I have a video of water balloons being broken in slow motion here -
I am wondering -
Does this camera have GPS capabilities?
If so, can you please explain in basic terms how I would use it?
This looks like 80 per cent of my dream camera - super high speed shooting, HD video, and versatile lens all in one package. If only the lens was a more sensible range - 28mm (or lower) to 200mm, say. Without a wider wide angle, it is never going to replace an SLR or even conventional bridge camera. Then obviously the price is ridiculous...!!

WILMINGTON, NC — Wilmington Police say Drayshawn Dowd, 20, was shot and killed after leaving a party early Saturday morning. Now a neighbor is speaking out about what happened, and how he tried to save Dowd's life.
Ernest Longhi says he was watching TV when he heard two sets of gunshots right outside his home on McClelland drive early Saturday morning.
"The first set were followed immediately by like a peel out, like you could tell somebody was in a vehicle, and completely took off," Longhi said. "It was within less than four minutes of each other there was a second set of gunshots."
Longhi a trained EMT with six years of experience under his belt says as soon as police arrived he jumped into action.
"I saw the gunshot wound. It looked like it entered from the side, and went straight through the chest cavity," he said. "I saw some blood by the back of his head so when I tilted him, it looked like he had a gunshot wound to the back of his head as well."
Longhi says it did not look like Dowd would make it as they waited for an ambulance to arrive.
"It was probably a few minutes that the ambulance took to get here, but to the people helping, and the people on scene, it probably felt like an eternity," he said.
Longhi says he was able to keep Dowd alive until the ambulance arrived, but Dowd later died at the hospital.
Witnesses told police Dowd had been at a party in the area and got into a fight before leaving.
Records show Dowd was convicted of receiving a stolen vehicle and resisting an officer in 2011.
He also had upcoming court appearances in New Hanover, Pender, and Duplin counties for speeding, reckless driving, possession of marijuana and expired tags.

From the Editor's Desk
While the Department of Transportation is at its task of redesigning the Beach 116 Street shopping street, it ought to think about renaming the street "Memorial Row."
Whoops! Forgot, not allowed to use the word "memorial" in connection with our new paean to those who died in the terrorist attack on the World trade center more than four years ago. Oh, well. A rose by any other name.
The name is apt, however, with "Tribute Park" soon to cut the ribbon at the north end of the street and the Flight 587 Memorial soon to be announced for the south end of the street.
By the way, how come the AA 587 whatever can be called a memorial by the city while the 9/11 whatever must never be called a memorial? Why must it be called a "tribute" instead?
Never mind. It doesn't matter. A rose by any other name.
I really like the new Tribute Park design. I was there last week for the September 11 flag raising ceremony as sunset on Sunday and it was very touching. The park is very soothing, very... something. My problem with the park it that it does not represent the event it is meant to memorialize (can I used that word or do I have to use tributize?).
Michelle Malkin, who apparently works for the National Park Service in one place or another because her email address is a government one, wrote an opinion piece for the New York Post last week that more or less sums up my opinion as well.
"She was actually writing about the memorials at Shanksville, Pennsylvania and Ground Zero, but she could have been talking about Rockaway, if she knew that Rockaway even existed.
"I am not an architect, but here is my architectural philosophy: War memorials should memorialize war. If you want peace and understanding and healing and good will toward all, go build Kabbalah centers," she writes. "Please, for the sake of those who've sacrificed, let's put the design of war memorials in the hands of creative people committed to creating monuments of courage over capitulation.
I agree. From the beginning, I have argued that the memorial (there, I did it again) to those Rockaway residents who died in the cowardly attack on the World Trade Center should remind people of what happened.
No restful benches. No beautiful vistas. No beautiful lights and dancing waters. No beautiful plantings.
I want twisted metal. I want a piece of twisted steel from the South Tower as a centerpiece. I want the flattened Broad Channel Volunteer ambulance in one corner. I want bloody papers, tattered clothing, photographs of people jumping from the buildings. I want recordings of relatives and locals who lived through the ordeal. I want my grandchildren to know that the terrorist attack was horrendous, an insult to every American. I want the modern-day version of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.
I'll never see it, however, because the powers-that-be are too politically correct. They continually want everybody to love everybody else. I don't want to love the people who destroyed the World Trade Center, who destroyed a large portion of the Pentagon, who forced a group of true American heroes to die in order to save the White House or some other landmark from a similar fate. I want them destroyed. I want my grandchildren to walk into that monument and know why it was put there in the first place. I don't want them to think of it as just another park in the inventory of all the other city parks.
Without that history, the names are meaningless, except to their relatives.
"A proper war memorial stirs to anger and action," Malkin writes. "The last words of Todd Beamer [on Flight 93 over Pennsylvania] were 'let's roll,' not 'let's meditate."
The public memorial to those who died on Flight 93 is now marred in controversy much like that of the Ground Zero memorial.
The design chosen by a committee is called the "Crescent of Embrace." There is concern that the crescent is too closely tied to the Muslim religion to be used as a symbol for the death of Americans who were killed by Muslim fanatics.
Some design contest jury members raised the concern that the memorial seemed to be honoring the Muslim hijackers who took over the plane rather than the Americans who died trying to keep them from diving the plane in the White House or the Capitol. Those who complained were reportedly told to mind their own business by the politicians who were driving the memoial because the public money wnated it that way.
There will be a tall tower made of wind chimes at the site. They will represent "healing and contemplation."
Sounds like those who planned the Rockaway memorial (why do I keep using that word). I don't want healing and contemplation.
I want people to walk through the attack's version of the railroad car that carried Jews to Auschwitz. I want them to walk through the hallway where thousands of shoes sit in tableau, as if waiting to be reclaimed by their owners in some giant kid's party. I want them to walk through a building that holds the pictures of all of the 70 Rockaway people who died. I want visitors to read their biographies, see pictures of their children, their wives and husbands.
I want visitors to see the face of evil and know who that evil is.
I understand that it is far too late for all of that.
My grandchildren will go to the park and sit on a bench, looking out over where the World Trade Center once stood and not br provided with an understanding of why the park is there.
That is too bad, both for them and for us.
We diminish ourselves by not allowing our anger to show, by not showing the next generation what the attack was all about and who perpetrated it on America.
I also understand that I am in a minority. Most people want healing and contemplation. They would rather forget.
My motto, however, is "Never Forget!" That is what history is all about.

Gonyer sexually abused a 15-year-old boy and then produced pornographic pictures of that boy, as well as others. The images were found on Gonyer's cell phone and memory cards taken from his home. Gonyer also pleaded guilty last fall to state charges of 10 counts of sexual abuse of a minor. In 2007, Gonyer was sentenced to more than two years in federal prison for having child porn, too.

Loyola's Becky Corb registered a match-high 23 kills to go with six digs, two assists and two block assists to help lead the host Greyhounds to a 3-0 (30-21, 32-30, 30-28) win over the Canisius College volleyball team Sunday afternoon in Baltimore, Md. The win improves Loyola to 9-17 overall and 2-5 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play, while the Golden Griffins slip to 10-15 overall and 3-5 in league action.
Canisius senior Christina Wildes scored 18 kills and eight digs in the loss for the Griffs, while fellow senior Kim Hoffman posted 15 kills, 11 digs, a solo block and a block assist. Sophomore Mary Boller pounded down 11 kills to go with two solo blocks and four block assists.
The Greyhounds jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and took control in game three, leading 22-15 at one point before the Blue and Gold mounted their comeback charge. Canisius pulled the score to 29-28, but Corb was able to close out the match with a kill for Loyola's 30th and final point.
Christina Greenup had 16 kills in the win for Loyola. Loyola setter Krystal Biegaj was credited with a match-high 51 assists. Canisius freshman Lauren Lackovich passes out 40 assists in the losing effort for the Griffs.

Is there a method to cross nailing? I seem to be no good at it.
1 Attachment(s)
I decided that to frame my basement I will install the top plate first, use plumb bob to locate where to put button plate, then nail in the studs. Easier to do given the ground is not 100% level so it's easier to just level as I go. Also I don't have enough floor room in some areas to lay the wall flat or there is something in the way that would stop me from lifting it.
I came to start cross nailing and I realized, either I need practice, or I'm doing it wrong. Anyone have a good tutorial on what is the proper way of doing this? Often the wood either splits at the corner, and rarely can I get the nail head all the way in. Using spiral framing nails and 16 oz framing hammer. Also how many nails per stud usually? Is two enough? Should it be one on each side? One part of the trouble is it's awkward to swing at certain angles especially when doing the top plate. Is there a tool or jig of sort that makes this easier? I did cut a piece of wood that is the same lenght as the space between two joists at 16" so I use it to help me keep the stud steady as I nail, but with the nail heads sticking out it kinda will throw off the measurement throughout the wall.
No need for spiral nails, two on one side and one in the middle on the other side.
Need ACG approved nails for the pressure treated bottom plate.
No trick to it just takes some practice.
If it's spliting out you may be holding the nail at to steep an angle or to close to the end of the board.
Using a nail gun or a palm nailer would speed things along.
Bore a pilot hole a little smaller than the nail through the stud at the angle you would like the nail to follow. If counter sinking the head is necessary counter bore for it also. Use a depth stop for both operations. Can be made of a dowel rod section.
I've always heard it as toe nailing.
I mentioned recently that I suck at it. It's weird how much I suck at it. It's been a long time though. That won't stop me from giving you tips though.
First tip: I don't think you have to nail that way. You could end nail it, unless what I read (a long time ago) referred to sheds or something other than living areas. "Cross nailing" is stronger though.
Second tip: you can drill pilot holes to help guide the nails and I think that actually makes the joint stronger.
Third tip: get recommendations on what nails to use. Maybe I used bad ones and I think one problem was that they bent.
I think they make a tool to guide the nails too. And I think "cross nailing" has a term but I forgot what it is...I don't think it's called "cross nailing."
Never thought of making a pilot hole maybe that's all I need. I already bought 2000 nails, so not changing that unless I absolutely have to. Are non spiral easier to drive? I suppose I could keep these for other projects and buy another box of non spiral if it will be better.
I also thought of having a nail from the front as that will make it easier to initially secure the stud so it wont move when I put the other nails, but wont the head be in the way of the drywall, or will it just sink through it fine?
We always called it toe nailing, but regardless of what you call it, it is much easier with a pneumatic framing nailer if you have a lot of framing to do. Buy youself a couple of Quick Grip clamps, and clamp one to the opposite side you are nailing on top to keep the stud from shifting. How hard it is also has a lot to do with how you cut your studs. Cut them snug so you have to tap them into position. Also, cut a perfectly square 14.5 inch block to drop on the bottom to hold your spacing. If you are hand nailing you should start your nails before placing and nailing the stud. All in all, life is much easier with a framing nailer. I have a Paslode F350S and I love it. Very light weight, very good nose, very powerful. Personally I would never frame as you are doing there. Build the wall lying down, then stand up, shim and screw up to joists or cross blocking. I see a lot of people doing it like you though. Why, I have never been able to figure out.
An impact driver and assembly screws will work too.
I just framed my basement and did it like you are except I used a framing nailer and made it 10 times easier.
when you start the nails set the stud about 1/4 " - 1/2" in front of the x mark line on the plate.. reason being the nail will draw the stud towards the line as the nails go deeper after each hammer blow. you dont necessarily need spikes you can also use 2 1/4" nails you just have to use more
ive never predrilled for this. its just a extra step
If you don,t have a air nailer use an electric drill with a robertson bit and 3 inch # 8 screws. These may be hard to find in the U.S. but you can use phillips. They are just a little more finicky.
Can I actually use screws to frame? I thought I had to use nails. At first nails sound easier but I'm starting to think screws may actually be easier! I think I should be able to find 3" #8 screws here, I recall looking for screws for a wood working project and they had different ones #10, #8 etc... the trick is being able to buy some in bulk though... These only came in like 50 packs. Maybe 5 of em on the shelf at once. Was at Canadian Tire though, I'd have to check Home Depot, they tend to have more stuff in bulk sizes.
I'll try with the predrilling first and see how that goes, if I can manage to keep using these nails I will given I bought that huge box. Done for tonight, then I have 4 night shifts to go, so I'll have to keep going next week. This project is moving kind of slow but guess once I have my stuff figured out things will go faster.
I'm not sure of the best way to frame with screws, but if done properly it will probably be stronger than with nails. I don't think regular wood screws will pull the pieces together as they're intended to because some of the threads will probably be in both pieces of wood. If so, you'll have to make sure the pieces are tightly together and stay that way while you screw. And use screw lubrication like bees wax. You can find a Robertson bit (I think that's the same as square drive) somewhere if you want. We have them in America. But your driver better have a clutch if you don't use Phillips.
Red----Toe nailing is difficult a,especially over head.
Is there a reason the wall can not be built on the ground and dragged into position?
Often that is not an option in a basement----
Screws (gold ones,not black ones) will work for a partition wall----Square drive is easier to work than phillips---
So, let me get this straight...
Is the consensus that you can use screws for partition walls in the basement?
I am getting ready to build a short partition wall too.
What kind of screws are needed for the treated 2x4?

Hi Mommy-of-two. I'm sorry that you're disappointed with your tummy tuck scar. Without seeing your before photo, I'd guess that you did not have a lot of excess skin, and a higher incision was the only way to avoid having an additional vertical scar.
It's not uncommon for tummy tuck patients to be concerned about the way their scar looks after surgery. At 6 weeks, yours is still fairly fresh; it will fade considerably within the next few months. Give it six months, and if you're still unhappy, there are surgical and non-surgical scar revision treatments you can explore. Good luck!

TT Scar revision
Hi Mommy-of-two. I'm sorry that you're disappointed with your tummy tuck scar. Without seeing your before photo, I'd guess that you did not have a lot of excess skin, and a higher incision was the only way to avoid having an additional vertical scar.
TT scars can always be revised
and ideally, your surgeon has a clear policy on revisions that would limit your costs. That is why its important to know what your doctor's revision policy is before having any surgery.
Minor Scar Revision on TT Scar?
Yes, any scar can be revised anytime. This can be done under local anesthesia in the office. I don't charge for scar revisions on my patients.

Improving the appearance of your abdominoplasty scar
There are many things that can be done to improve the appearance of your abdominoplasty scar. Follow the recommendations of your plastic surgeon.
Scar revision
First, wait about 6 months post surgery. Often, the redness will fade over time. Try products like bio-Corneum or Mederma. Avoid sun exposure. A spread scar can be improved with a repeat multi-layered closure under less tension. At times, laser therapy can be helpful.
Options for improved tummy tuck scar.
Thank you for the question. There are a handful of options to improve he appearance of your tummy tuck scar. A scar revision is one of these options. The best way to achieve an excellent result with a scar revision is by freeing up the tissue enough to allow closure of the incision properly and under less tension. Simply excising the scar and closing it often leads to comparable scar appearance.
All the best,
Dr. Remus Repta

Having a newborn baby is a lot of work. So is starting your own company. Doing the two at the same time might sound like pure insanity but we think we've found a way to make it work.
"Don't leave before you leave," Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, likes to say. It's a quote she shares quite often with young professional women who she's trying to encourage to stay focused on their career. Her argument is quite simple: We have too few female leaders because we women often hop off the career track to have children long before we even get pregnant.
It's easy to do — you opt out of the more difficult position being offered to you or you don't fight for the bigger role that's open at your office because you think that just one day—maybe in a year or two or maybe five or 10 years out–you might get pregnant and need to take time off.
For most, having a family isn't something you can control or time perfectly. But you do have the ability to control how hard you work.
We had both been writers and editors at FORTUNE for nearly 9 years when we ran a story in the pages of the magazine on Sandberg and her theory. It struck a personal chord. We were both ready for a change and also ready to have children, but we weren't ready to sit around and wait for it to happen, and we weren't ready to leave the professional world. So rather than stay in a safe job, we took the biggest leap of our lives and decided to start our own company.
Many of our coworkers thought we were insane. (The economy was crumbling and we were leaving a great job, health care benefits and an amazing team of coworkers.) Some even thought we were doing this to 'slow down'. (The words "slow" and "down" are not in any entrepreneur's vocabulary…trust us!)
We quit our jobs together and started building what would eventually become Altruette. But about 6 months into our startup development, I announced to Lee that I was pregnant. I didn't know what that would mean for our company, which was still in its own infancy. Lee was supportive but I was already nervous that my love of work would change and my pace would slip in the coming months. Five weeks later, it was Lee announcing her wonderful news.
From a personal perspective, it was fabulous. We could share this amazing journey together. There was no guilt that one of us was enjoying the joys of pregnancy while one was trying to conceive. Or one of us was doing all of the work while the other one was out shopping for cribs. But from a business perspective, it spelled disaster—two of us with morning sickness, two of us with countless doctor's visits, 9 months of exhaustion, and that's all before the babies arrive. We couldn't even contemplate what that would be like.
We could have easily let our daily calls turn into baby discussions. We could have let each other off the hook on our weekly 'to do' list. And we could have easily decided to throw in the towel long before we launched with the fear that a new baby and a new business would be too much. But we didn't really give these options much thought –we just kept going. We launched Altruette, our line of philanthropic charms, 12 weeks before my baby was due.
Here are the three lessons we learned (thanks to our babies) that we think any business person could apply to their startup or to their work life.
Lesson One: Set Hard to Reach Deadlines
As former journalists, we are huge believers in deadlines. We set an insane deadline in order to officially launch before our babies arrived. It also forced us to make our first Christmas season, which turned out to be our biggest quarter of the year. We've learned if we don't set serious deadlines, we won't get the project done. We now make a habit of strategically getting things on the calendar that will force us to focus.
A commitment to an outside project is the best way to keep focused. It's one thing to let an internal deadline slip but if the outside world is expecting something from you, you better do it and you better do it well. For example in November we looked ahead to a pretty empty February calendar and decided to sign up for a big trade show. It will be good exposure, and it's also forcing us to get to projects like updating our linesheets and working on in-store displays that easily could have slipped till March or April without that looming deadline.
Lesson Two: Find your own rhythm
Similar as the two of us are, we still work in very different ways. Julie's an early riser who likes to spend a few hours with her son before working the rest of the day, while Lee prefers to have her sitter arrive at 8, then check out for a few hours in the afternoon to spend time with her daughter. Julie gets anxious if she doesn't check email every hour while 'on vacation' and it took Lee a few months to realize that she needs to unplug for at least a week or two a few times a year. We let each other adhere to whatever schedule works for each of us – no pressure, no guilt.
Someone once told us that, "A good marriage means you're never both out of love at the same time." We're not sure if that theory works for marriage but it certainly works for an entrepreneurial partnership. We know it all evens out in the end, and in the meantime it's actually a good thing to have each of us on a slightly different schedule and pace. It means one of us is always around in case of an emergency, and if one of us is feeling a little run down after being up all night with a baby, there's a good chance the other is feeling refreshed and ready to pitch in.
Lesson Three: Don't let the ups get you too up, or the downs get you too down.
Business and babies can both feel like a roller coaster. When something goes right you feel on top of the world, when something goes wrong it can feel like the world is ending. We learned very early on that we were going to have plenty of disappointments, but the key is to shake it off and work even harder.
And it's funny: some of the things that at the time were earth shatteringly depressing – for instance a magazine that wouldn't return our calls or emails – turned out to be some of our biggest wins (they ended up calling us back six months later, which meant the story ran in the middle of the holiday shopping season!)
This has happened so many times that now when things go wrong, we automatically take it as a challenge and assume that it's going to lead us to something better down the road that we cannot foresee yet.
Now the real test will be in remembering this lesson when our babies hit the terrible twos!

ECB's Asmussen sees Greek aid deal covering 2 years
By Madeline Chambers
BERLIN (Reuters) - European Central Bank policymaker Joerg Asmussen said on Sunday the euro zone should agree next week on two years of funding for Greece and leave further help to be decided later, a view likely to irk the IMF, which wants a permanent solution.
"We should next week settle the financing for the years 2013 and 2014, but you have to be honest and say we do not really expect the country to have access to markets in 2015 and 2016; that means a follow-up programme would be necessary," Asmussen told German broadcaster ZDF.
A two-year deal would postpone a longer-term solution to the Greek debt crisis until after a September 2013 German general election, when it might be politically easier for Germany, the EU's paymaster, to take tough decisions.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), however, is unlikely to welcome further delay.
Euro zone finance ministers and IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde meet on Tuesday to try to agree on how to make Greece's debt manageable, an agreement that eluded them last week.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said he was banking on a deal.
"We must find a common line. We have to find it on Tuesday. We are working intensively on this, and I think that we will manage it," Schaeuble told ARD television.
Lagarde told Reuters late on Saturday that she would push for a permanent solution to Greece's debts to avoid prolonged uncertainty and further damage to the Greek economy. Continued...

A large defence contractor wished to analyse the financial risks posed by its significant historical pension schemes and understand the options available for mitigating these risks and controlling future costs. These costs were material relative to the earnings of the business and yet were largely related to former employees of the company.
PwC's pension team was engaged to carry out a detailed review of the company's current pension position. Pension modelling tools were used to forecast the future balance sheet, P&L and cashflow impacts of the schemes under various economic scenarios.
After ensuring that the client had a full understanding of the significant risks exposed by the modelling exercise, a further review of risk mitigation and cost reduction ideas was carried out. The client was then able to pursue a risk reduction exercise based on full information.
The company is now fully aware of its exposure to pension scheme risk and is better placed to make long-term strategic decisions. Strategically, the business saw that reducing the balance sheet risk of the legacy liabilities was a priority and undertook a major exercise that saw a decrease in pension liabilities of over £20 million. It then implemented various risk mitigation ideas that stabilised ongoing pension costs as part of a new, wider employee deal.

Vote for me or I'll sack you, MP warns
Page Tools
One of the most feared men in President Robert Mugabe's regime has been accused of telling thousands of labourers to vote for him in Zimbabwe's general election or be sacked.
Sydney Sekeramayi, the Defence Minister, threatened to deprive the workers of their livelihoods while addressing a rally in his electorate.
Mr Sekeramayi is defending a tiny majority of 38 in the parliamentary polls scheduled for Thursday. He spoke at a rally of the ruling ZANU-PF party at Rakodzi farm in his electorate of Marondera East on Sunday.
The farm, owned by a company called Mitchell and Mitchell, is by far the largest employer in Marondera East, where the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) is mounting a strong challenge.
It supplies vegetables to British supermarkets and its 7000 workers comprise almost 20 per cent of all registered voters in Marondera East.
According to a sworn statement signed by a 23-year-old woman who was present when he addressed the company's workers at the rally, Mr Sekeramayi threatened to seize Mitchell and Mitchell.
"Sydney Sekeramayi says if you don't vote for ZANU-PF the company will be taken away," the woman said.
Sworn statements signed by three more workers, all of them present at the rally, carry the same account of Mr Sekeramayi's speech. But Mr Sekeramayi, 61, angrily denied issuing any threats.
"It's a blatant lie. I want that company to succeed so that people keep their jobs, not lose them," he said.
His denial comes amid growing reports of ZANU-PF officials controlling the electoral roll and polling booths, and of threats to deny food to villagers who vote for the MDC.
Independent studies have shown the electoral roll is padded out with voters who have died or emigrated. Critics say this could hand outright victory to Mr Mugabe on polling day.

23 Apr Why It's So Worth It To Go Oil-Free
Why It's So Worth It To Go Oil-Free
Stop eating animal? Okay. Cut out dairy? Sure. Eat more fruits and veggies? You got it. Stop eating oil? Seriously?
This is what went through my mind every time I tried to stop eating oil. I would get myself on board with the idea, knowing how it would benefit my health, and then a few days or at most, a few weeks in, I would give up. I told myself that I have already cut so many other foods out of my diet that I cannot possibly give up oil, too. Plus, oil is in EVERYTHING. How will I cook and bake? How will I enjoy my food? What on Earth will I eat?
I have gone back and forth with this concept for almost a year. The first time I gave up oil, I did so under the assumption that taking this source of fat out of my diet would help to clear up my acne. And it did. I also shed a few extra pounds effortlessly. However, living at school and cooking for myself made it easy to live without oil. When I came home for the summer, I did not want to cook myself a separate meal from the rest of my family every single night. So, little by little, I allowed oil to creep back in to my diet, eventually taking over almost every meal for the rest of the summer.
Almost immediately, I was back on my skin medication and I had gained back the weight I had lost, and then some. But it was right around this time that my mom and I were lucky enough to attend the Farms 2 Forks immersion at the Esselstyn Farm! Within the first few hours, I listened to Rip Esselstyn, Dr. Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn all speak about the benefits of a low fat, plant-based diet. They sold me. I was ready to switch my olive oil to balsamic vinegars and be done with it.
However, it was not long before I let vegan recipes, coconut oil and vegan meat and butter alternatives get the best of me. I love to bake and I love to cook and I convinced myself that my meals wouldn't be as satisfying and my baked goods would not be as delicious without processed fats. I was sorely mistaken. In no time, I was back to feeling lousy, and knew that I had to make a conscious effort to remove oil from my diet. In the New Year, I became more mindful of oil in my foods, trying hard not to purchase any foods containing oil, and to leave it out of everything I cooked and everything I baked. It wasn't so bad.
I am happy to say that I am now 100% oil-free. I feel lighter, more alert and definitely more nourished. I have not refilled the prescription for my skin medication in weeks and I have lost weight effortlessly. My parents are also oil-free, they are also losing weight and my father, who has suffered with sleep apnea for his entire adult life, is now sleeping soundlessly. For me, giving up oil went hand in hand with straying from processed foods. It is so much easier to stock up on fruits, veggies, greens, legumes, beans and whole grains then having to read label after label of your favorite foods, crossing your fingers that they, too, are oil-free.
I no longer feel listless and tired, and I no longer have a "mind-fog" as I go through my day. I attribute all of these feats to purging my diet of oil and oil-filled foods. I am still cooking every meal of the day and baking all of the time. It is definitely not as hard as it seems! It is so easy to cook with a little bit of water instead of oil, and add bananas, apple sauce or flax meal to baked goods instead of the coconut oils, vegan margarines or butter alternatives. This is the best thing I have done for my health, my body and my mental clarity since I have gone plant-based. Here are some photos of my adventures in plant-based, oil-free cooking & baking!

But what is it about oil that makes it so controversial? The Mediterranean Diet swears by the health benefits of oils in moderation, and bakers love coconut oil for the health benefits, texture and taste. Plus, who doesn't cook with olive oil? Almost every recipe advises you to add it to the pan to sauté foods, or add it directly to the foods for a beautiful texture and delicious flavor. But oil is fat, and adding fat to your food, cooking with it and eating it in pre-packaged foods can be very detrimental to your health and wellbeing.
Dr. McDougall states that, "the fat you eat is the fat you wear." And after eliminating animal foods, oil and concentrated forms of oil, as well as the few high-fat plant-based foods, are all that are left in the diet. Oil is highly processed, pure fat and low in nutrients but exceptionally high in calories. Dr. Esselstyn, a great proponent of this oil-free, plant-based lifestyle, writes, "NO OIL! Not even olive oil, which goes against a lot of other advice out there about so-called good fats. The reality is that oils are extremely low in terms of nutritive value. They contain no fiber, no minerals and are 100% fat calories. Above all, they contain saturated fat, which immediately injures the endothelial lining of the arteries when eaten. It doesn't matter whether it's olive oil, corn oil, or any other kind of oil." More insight on this matter is detailed in Dr. Esselstyn's book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.
If the benefits of a low-fat, nutrient-dense, plant-based lifestyle can truly prevent and reverse heart disease, why isn't everyone trading their oils for applesauce and vinegar and embracing this lifestyle? Because oils have been marketed as "healthy fats" for years, and all of this marketing has lead to a job well done by the brands and companies that sell tons and tons of cooking oils each year.
In regard to coconut oil, Jeff Novick, MS, RD, states that, "in spite of having no nutritional value, it is regarded by many as a health food." One hundred calories of coconut oil has 11.6 grams of fat and 10 grams of saturated fat, over 90% of the total fat in this oil. Those are the only nutrients in coconut oil. Sugar has more nutrients. Coconut oil supplies no carbohydrates, essential fats, vitamins, minerals or proteins. So, it is contributing nothing to the diet except fat, and quite a lot of it. Overall, coconut oil does have some antimicrobial properties, but besides that, it can only offer you fat.
This diet and lifestyle is not fat-free. There is fat in plants, vegetables, fruits, starches, beans and whole grains that we consume, and that is enough. There are also high-fat plant foods, such as nuts, seeds, and avocados. You do not need to add too much of these foods to your daily routine, because even though they are plant-based, they are still high in fat. If you are looking to lose weight or if you have heart disease, Engine 2 Diet and Forks Over Knives recommend that you greatly reduce the presence of these foods in your diet.
Fish oil is another highly debated topic. By consuming fish oil or fish oil supplements, you increase the levels of eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid popularized for its health benefits. However, Dr. McDougall writes that consumption of fish oil can have adverse effects on health, leading to increased levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) in patients with already high cholesterol, leading to worsening diabetes in some. People who take fish oil supplements are also at an increased risk for bleeding. Dr. Esselstyn writes that fish oil is not essential and that it would be hard to become deficient in these omega-3 fatty acids if you are consuming flax seed meal and leafy greens a few times daily. Research suggests that people on plant-based diets suddenly become efficient in manufacturing omega-3s in the body.
In his article about caloric density, Jeff Novick states that by lowering the caloric density of your diet, you will automatically consume foods higher in nutrient density. For example, fruits and vegetables have 60-420 calories per pound and beans and lentils have 310-780 calories per pound. On the other hand, sugars, including agave and maple syrup, have 1,200-1,800 calories per pound, nuts and seeds have 2,400-3,200 calories per pound and, finally, oil has a whopping 4,000 calories per pound. It is so much easier, and so much more satisfying, to nourish the body on a diet based on beans, greens, fruits and grains, as opposed to sugars and fats.
In the end, get rid of the oil. It tastes good, but it will not nourish or support your body, and it will only leave you craving more fat. Experiment with oil-free cooking and baking! Be positive and know that you will still enjoy your food and baked goods, while being 100% confident that you are doing the right thing for your health and your body. Here are some great resources to get started (or continue) with oil-free cooking and baking:

So we've been keeping tabs on the breezy, summery sounds of GRAND RESORT ever since we first posted glistening debut single "Microscopic" in February. Since then we've witnessed 20-year-old Andres M. Pichardo's efforts evolve from a solo guitar/laptop project based out of his old Brookline apartment to a full-on four-piece Brooklyn-based band that's now signed a record deal with Detroit-based indie label DiscAu.
Back in February we got all doe-eyed over GRAND RESORT, the breezy electronic pop solo project of a young man named Andres M. Pichardo, who was splitting time between attending classes at the New England Institute of Art and interning at Manhattan's Flux recording and mixing facility.
A few days after we made his debut single "Microscopic" our Mp3 of the Week, he left his apartment in Brookline (he's originally from the Dominican Republic) and set up camp in Brooklyn, coming back to Boston a few days a week to finish up school.
Within the first few chilled-out electronic-pop chimes of GRAND RESORT's riveting debut single "Microscopic," you can almost huff the fumes of the Fung Wah carrying Andres M. Pichardo away from Boston and into the bloggy-buzz clutches of New York City. The 19-year-old Brookline lad and native of the Dominican Republic was already splitting time between education here at the New England Institute of Art and an internship at Manhattan's Flux recording and mixing facility before making the permanent Dirty Apple leap just last week.
Was just on WFNX a few minutes ago, talking about a few bedroom pop tracks that have been showing up with regularity on my Boston Accents playlist. After Dom created "Living In America" on the strength of a computer program, a pink paisley guitar and his beautiful musical mind, one-man-jams are all the rage. We guess.

Don't Give Pets as Easter Gifts
It is not recommended to give live animals as gifts, according to Suzanne Crider from the Starke County Humane Society.
The Easter holiday is this weekend and some people may think that giving a live chick or bunny as a gift for Easter is a great idea, but Crider has another suggestion.
"We run into this at Christmas time," noted Crider. "People want to give a Christmas gift so they're going to get Dad a puppy. What we suggest is if that's truly what Dad wants, start buying him the supplies. Contact your shelter and see if they give gift certificates. If you know somebody that already has animals, give a gift certificate from their vet or pay something on the vet bill to help with the cost of that. There's a lot of things that you can do beforehand to help get a person ready to have a new pet in the family. By all means, let them be the one that picks out their companion for the coming years."

Subzero Temperatures Forecast; Stay Warm, Stay Safe
With frigid subzero temperatures in the forecast, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency wants families and individuals to stay safe when faced with hazardously cold temperatures.
During cold weather, you should stay indoors as much as possible and limit your exposure to the cold;
dress in layers and keep dry; check on family, friends, and neighbors who are at risk and may need additional assistance; and know the symptoms of cold-related health issues such as frostbite and hypothermia and seek medical attention if health conditions are severe.
Keep Pets Safe This Holiday Season
The holiday season is a great time for families and it's a rather exciting time for pets too as their living space is filled with holiday decorations. It can also be a dangerous time for pets.
Starke County Humane Society Director Suzanne Crider says the best thing is to keep decorations away from your pets.
Keep Pets Warm This Winter
The temperature is dropping, prompting residents to stay indoors and crank up the heat to stay warm, but what can outdoor pets do to stay warm? Suzanne Crider with the Starke County Humane Society has a few tips to keep your roaming pets safe and warm this winter.
For those who have a doghouse or other structure for their animals, Crider said it's important not to make it too big. She said it's best to have it big enough that the animal can get in and comfortably lay down and stretch out, but any bigger and it becomes harder for the animal's body heat to keep it warm.
Starke County Humane Society Receives Lowe's Volunteer Grant

I am asuming that you do not refer to output (what you see on the
screen when you typed the command, but to what is returned (what is
left behind in memory after the command finished). One reason for not
doing it is that it is superfluous, you can derive all these quantities
from what is returned. One can reasonalbly suspect that people who want
access to these statistics in the form of returned results can do that,
since this way of using returned results are primarily used by more
advanced users. As in your case, where you want to use it in a program
you are writing.

this was called "baby puzzle" in the book where i saw it. but isn't it really courthouse steps?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
this was called "baby puzzle" in the book where i saw it. but isn't it really courthouse steps?
Oh it gorgeous! I love all the pretty pastels!
It looks like it. And it's pretty!
you're right, nanabirdmo.
you'll notice that a lot of pattern designers use traditional blocks, then name the quilt/pattern based on the fabrics they used, the intended purpose for the project, or on some other [often] unrelated reason.
That is ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's softly colorful and looks just the right size. Oh to be a baby, or even expectant mother near you. :D
Right on the button Patrice, It's what ever you decide to name the quilt, Your choice in colors, layout, and size. A traditional block, but your choices.
So it's the CREATOR's decision on what to name it. Beautiful Quilt and Beautiful work.
yep that is definetely courthouse steps to me!! beautiful quilt!
I am basting a courthouse steps this morning (putting it on the machine to quilt this afternoon). This quilt is for my bf's 1 year old nephew. It will be for his big boy bed sometime this year. I will post photos when its done.. I"m aiming for another week to complete it.
Really cute! The red centers make it traditional courthouse steps and I just love the baby fabrics.

Fast Break: Grizzlies maul Celtics in 4th straight loss
|01.02.13 at 9:59 pm ET
Avery Bradley may have returned to the starting lineup, but the same old Celtics took the Garden floor in a loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday night that looked worse than the 93-83 final.
Despite a spirited fourth-quarter comeback that slashed a Grizzlies lead that had grown as large as 18 points to just five with a handful of minutes remaining, it wasn't enough to make up for three quarters of dreadful play that left the C's three games under .500 (14-17) for the first time this season.
Bradley made his first bucket after missing the opening 30 games of the season, finishing with four points in 18 minutes. Rajon Rondo (11 points, 9 assists), who battled a bruised hip, Paul Pierce (17 points, 7 rebounds) and Kevin Garnett (12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists) were the only Celtics in double figures. Hence, the team's fourth straight loss and eighth in the last 10 games.
Memphis shooting: In the first half, the Grizzlies shot a ridiculous 61.1 percent and scored 50 points on 36 shots. Mike Conley (23 points, 9 assists) and old friend Tony Allen (15 points, 5 rebounds) shot a combined 9-of-11 before the break. Heck, even Darrell Arthur (10 points), who entered without a 3-pointer in 204 career games, drained two triples in the span of 1:43 in the second quarter.
Garnett's first half: Whether it was a New Year's hangover or not, Garnett started an atrocious 1-of-7 from the floor and committed three turnovers as the Grizzlies took a 50-41 lead into the break. It's no surprise the defense also struggled on a night when KG didn't have his best performance.
The Collins experiment: Celtics starting center Jason Collins may have limited Marc Gasol's scoring, but he did little to quell the C's overall defense and rebounding woes. (The Celtics were out-rebouned 39-27 and gave up eight offensive boards). Plus, he's essentially nonexistent on the offensive end. In what's been a trend for Collins, he had as many personal fouls (2) as points.
Pierce's first quarter: The Celtics captain started a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, scoring 12 of the team's 26 points in the first quarter. He may not have been as successful in the paint, but his effort from long distance helped keep the C's afloat as the Grizzlies made two-thirds of their shots in the early going.
Avery's arrival: Bradley started opposite Mike Conley and held the Memphis guard to two shots (a successful 3-pointer and a runner from 6 feet) and two assists in 13:22 of shared floor time in the first half. In Conley's remaining first-half minutes (8:22), he made 4-of-6 shots and generated three assists. In other words, even if Bradley's offense was rusty (1-4 FG), he's still effective on the defensive end.
The bench: Bradley's presence also pushes Jason Terry (8 points) to the bench, creating some semblance of consistency at Doc Rivers' disposal. Believe it or not, the second unit actually turned a 14-12 deficit when Garnett sat in the first quarter into a 31-27 advantage when KG returned — thanks in large part to Brandon Bass (9 points).

In Pantheon, the world of Kesh is falling into disrepair. It�s been twelve-hundred years since Yaru Korsin crashed the Omen into the planet, and since that time, the leaders of the Tribe gather every 25 years on the anniversary of Yaru�s death to listen to a reading of their founder�s Testament. But now a new piece of Yaru�s message has come to light, and if the current Historian can�t figure out the meaning, the already fractious world of the Sith could explode into chaos�
John Jackson Miller picks up the tale of the lost Sith even further down the timeline, presenting Varner Hilts, a caretaker of Sith records on war-torn Kesh. Hilts is an amusing character, a Sith Lord who acts like a disillusioned civil servant. I enjoyed seeing his office routine disrupted by rival Sith factions, an event that causes Hilts to realize that the records he keeps hold unknown secrets�
Pantheon is an engaging little story that leads up to a great cliffhanger�I�m really interested in seeing what happens in the next installment!
The revelation that the Sith�s timekeepers were exactly eight days off was just a little too convenient�I realize that there isn�t a lot of space to work with in these short stories, but still.

Holistic StudiesThe field of holistic, or alternative, medicine is growing very rapidly. In most any town or city, you will find people who practice some form of holistic therapy. In Eureka Springs, Arkansas, for example, which is a town which was founded on the healing therapies of its springs, you will find a wide variety of holistic practitioners, such as massage therapists, herbalists, hypnotherapists, and naturopaths. The people who practice holistic therapies are doing so because they completed some sort of holistic studies.
Holistic studies was, at one time, not regulated by the states, but today most forms of holistic studies are regulated by the states as many forms of holistic medicine requires licensure. These include acupuncture, massage therapy, hypnotherapy, chiropractic, natural aesthetics, Chinese medicine and herbs, holistic nursing, midwifery, and some forms of natural physical therapy.
How to Begin Holistic Studies
Before choosing a course of holistic studies, it's important that you investigate the school, making sure that the program in holistic studies you are wishing to pursue is accredited (if necessary). Also, you will want to make sure the program in holistic studies you are wishing to pursue will prepare you for the state licensure exam where you want to practice, if this is applicable.
The first decision you must make is the type of holistic studies you wish to pursue. One of the considerations for the type of holistic studies program you wish to take might depend on the time you will need to spend in the program. The holistic studies programs for herbalists and midwifery, for example, could only take from a few weeks to a few months. The holistic studies for massage therapists could take from nine months to two years, while the holistic studies programs for nursing, acupuncturists, and chiropractors will take a few years to pursue.
Some schools will allow you to take at least part of their holistic studies programs online, but may require you to complete labs or other hands-on training on campus or at a licensed and approved clinic or spa. Many schools do offer financial aid for their courses in holistic studies.
Holistic studies programs can earn you a diploma, certificate, associate's degree, bachelor's degree, or in the case of chiropractic, a doctorate.
