I'm 29 with no history of heart problems. I've had several ECG tests over the last few years and all have been okay
it is good that you are considering going for further investigations
heart problems need to be ruled out first
an important test for you is a stress test
this tests the heart under stress and identifies any heart problems at an early stage
a halter monitor to test for any arrhythmia also needs to be considered
discuss this with your private doctor
these tests will help to arrive at the root of the problem
of course, it is very likely that there is no specific heart problem and this is just anxiety
in that case anti anxiety drugs is the solution

any further questions?
All the signs point to anxiety, but I really don't think it's due to that - are there any other causes other than heart problems? It seems to come and go without reason.
some other causes also need to be considered
though not at all likely
discuss these with your doctor:
epileptic fits, pheochromocytoma, thyroid,
these may also cause sudden episodes of dizziness and weakness
also electrolyte imbalance, BPPV, Meniere's disease, other causes of vertigo
discuss all these causes with your doctor

Thanks. It's obviously quite a complex problem, I'll discuss these with my doctor. If I need to see a specialist who should I ask to see?
an internal medicine specialist would be the best. If necessary they can refer you to other specialists. discuss all these conditions with your doctor.

Recently, Ohio has been plagued with deadly heroin being distributed in Cuyahoga County. I would call all residents of Wayne County, and especially the city of Wooster, to our own growing drug problem. Marijuana, meth and numerous other illegal drugs have been flowing into Wooster -- and why not?
The rats are all fleeing the ship of Holmes County, where the judges actually give real sentences to those caught in possession of illegal drugs. So why not simply hop the border and come to Wayne County? Although Wooster police have been breaking their backs to keep the streets and neighborhoods safe from drugs, they are fighting a losing battle due to the lack of any type of penalty and sentencing from our courts here in Wooster.
They arrest the drug dealers, the pushers and the users, but when it comes time for their sentencing in Municipal Court, what is their sentence? How about a $75 fine, and that is all. What a joke.
On Dec. 2, 2013, Judge Carol Millhoan delivered that exact sentence for possession of marijuana. It is more costly to be caught shooting off a firework than being in possession of illegal drugs in Wooster and Wayne County. I would encourage everyone to scroll through the court cases and convictions at Municipal Court (found on the county prosecutor's web page under news).
This is absolutely appalling. After the police do their work, these people are right back on the streets, perhaps in your neighborhood, perhaps next to your kid's school. These drug houses are all over Wooster, and they are increasing as everyone now knows Wooster is the place to buy, sell and traffic illegal drugs.
The maximum fine from December to today was $300 -- and no jail time. We need to help our hard working Wooster police by putting pressure on the municipal Judges Carol Millhoan and Judge Van Sickle to do their part in keeping Wooster drug free and safe for our children.
I guess it is easy to pass extremely light sentences on convicted criminals when you do not even live within the city limits. Remember, these judges are elected to their position. Perhaps we need to keep their sentencing record of illegal drug sellers and buyers in mind when their term is up.
Jason Anderson
never really understood the lib-mind,when scared, throw insults and when that fails go to the ol' race card-Bush's fault you guys make me smile
If teabagger has joined the fray, his twin brother, butt-hurt, cannot be far behind.
TEABAGGER ... Is that really you ... long time, no see ... I heard you were out west painting Mail Pouch© signs on old barns
Having been raised in Wayne County you dillusional thinking the drug problems you have come from the south, take a long look in your mirror my friend.
One is legal,the other not,no matter how man states pass laws it is still against Federal law.Until that changes it should be regarded as such by all law enforcement.
Every case is different and it is hard to judge a judge without knowing al the facts. Sometimes big fines takes away from other members of the family and I hate to see childern hurt by a mistake of a parent. Dealing is one thing and smoking a little pot is another. I would rather be around a bunch of pot smokers than drunks. Pot smokers tend to be pretty mild and you don't know what a drunk will be like.
Decriminalization of cannabis means it's a minor misdemeanor with a maximum fine of $100 (iirc). I think adding this plant to your rant list is a bit off topic. Check out Buzzkillington's link below. It's pretty obvious this least this part of the war is about to be over. Too bad you think fines and jail time is the right approach, becuase it doesn't seem like that is working very well.
Off topic as usual
Maybe the judges just chose to look the other way.Like the Obama White House chooses to look the other way at Oklahoma.Leadership (or complete lack of) is what some would call it.
"How about a $75 fine, and that is all......On Dec. 2,2013, Judge Milhoan delivered that exact sentence for possession of marijuana."
2091, you are correct, the fine for a 1ST OFFENSE, possession of less than an ounce is $100. But nobody mentioned 1st offenses or possession charges. I think Jason is talking abouty more serious and repeat offenders as well as dealers. Look at the Common Pleas court cases as well. Very light sentences.
Correct me please if I'm wrong, but I believe that presently in the state of Ohio the fine for possession of up to one ounce or less of marijuana is $100; thus the light fine levied by Judge Milhoan. If this offends you please feel free to start a ballot initiative to change the law.
Cannabis prohibition is a complete conservative failure. This decade the failed Republican war on drugs ends. Cannabis re-legalization should appeal to teabagger on their small, limited gov't principles. Prohibition has never worked, not with alcohol, and even the all powerful Christian god was unable to make prohibition work in the Garden of Eden.
Roaster, I would suugest you do a little more research into uniform sentencing guidlines. As the term immplies, they are guidlines set by the ORC. There are minimums and maximums. What Mr. Anderson and I are both saying is that our Judges continuely go for the minimium. I also said jail time is not always the answer either. But the slaps on the wrists these offenders are getting clearly is not working. Treatment can work, but it has to be backed with strong probation terms and a real threat of jail time when the terms are not met. You go into Muni court on any given day and see a host of probation violations and repeat offenders, where jail time is not given for the repeat offense. And while little kids may not be buys drugs, I can assure you middle school and high school kids are and have the money to do so. That is a reality in Wooster.
There is such a thing as the Uniform Sentencing Guidelines, which sets the parameters the judges have to follow. Are you blaming the judges for following the law?
Second, take a look at the nature of the crime. People are willing to look at alcoholism as a disease, but not drug addiction. Nobody would expect a multiyear sentence for an alcoholic being drunk, but you seem to be clamoring for in the case of drug use. Why do you think recidivism is so high with drug offenders?
Third, you're equating marijuana use with heroin and meth. Are you aware that Jefferson and Washington exchanged letters on the best way to cultivate marijuana? Are you totally unaware of states legalizing and decriminalizing it's possession and use? Of the total failure of the war on drugs because it was the wrong approach?
I'm not talking about drug dealers selling crack cocaine to little kids (a stereotype that makes no sense because little kids don't have the money for repeat purchases.) I'm saying that your approach is stereotypical, strickly out of the Reefer Madness school, and has nothing to do with reality.
Agree with Mr. Anderson! Judge Millhoan and both Common Pleas Judges are known for given light sentences, not just on drug cases. Judge Van Sickle hasn't been on the bench long enough to form a good opinion. Millhoan is known at the court as "Granny", meaning a good sob story will often get you a lighter sentence from her. And you just have to open the Daily Record and see how soft Wayne County judges are on sex offenders. Recidivism is extemely high with drug offenders. Jail time isn't always the answer with these people, however a small fine and probation with no other coniditions is not a deterent either. It is not the job of a judge to worry about jail overcrowding. That is the job of the state and the county commissioners. Treatment is most effective when it is done in conjection with strong probation terms - community service, financial restitution, house arrest, becoming employed, etc... When these offenders don't have to do anything but "stay clean' that is usually the last thing that happens and it is just a matter of time before they are back in court for another slap on the wrist. One thing tht Wayne County could immediately do to improve this problem is bring back the "pay to stay" jail.
Must be someone ****** at the courts or an officer! I have seen both judges throw the book at many well deserved offenders. Some times, giving someone a chance to correct a petty small amount first time offender by counseling or probation is best. If you throw everyone with a minor possession in jail there would be no where to house the major offenders nor any money to support the cost to do so. So i believe you are very bias in your letter for no other reason other than to bash the fine jobs our judges are doing.

Citizens Given Awards
By Amy
December 2001
Our enemies think we are a
civilization in decline, Gary Bauer, former Presidential candidate,
told a packed ballroom at the tenth annual banquet of the Massachusetts
Family Institute at the Newton Marriott last month.
"They believe we are fat,
lazy, decadent, and ready to die. They think if they push us hard
enough, we'll go over in a corner somewhere and sort of curl up,
and that'll be that. And in some ways, you can understand their
miscalculations, because they see certain things about us, and it
kind of drowns out everything else."
Those enemies look at us and
conclude, "These guys are an easy mark," said Bauer. "They are no
longer capable of producing the kind of men that we saw at Concord
Bridge, or on the fields of Antietam or on the beaches of Normandy."
But he continued, "I think they miscalculated."
Bauer witnessed the attack
on the Pentagon on Sept. 11.
"I happened to be driving
into Washington, D.C. that morning.
I was going to be doing a press conference on Capitol Hill
about the issue of Sudan, where there is terrible Christian persecution
taking place. In fact, there is a radical Islamic government in
power. Millions of people have been killed. A number of groups in
town felt that not enough was being done about that, so we were
going to hold a press conference, put a little bit of pressure on
the administration and on the Congress.
"I was in a massive traffic
jam, hadn't moved more than a hundred yards in twenty minutes. My
office called to tell me about the first plane in New York, the
reaction was 'horrible accident.' And then they called about the
second plane, and clearly that meant something much worse was going
on. It was only then that I really noticed where I was in that traffic
jam. I was going past the Pentagon, really inching a yard or so
every couple of minutes. I had just passed the closest place the
Pentagon is to the exit on 395 . . . when all of a sudden I heard
the roar of a jet engine.
If the U.S. were to disappear, "the world would more closely
resemble hell than anything else. It is this nation and people
like you that stand between the strong preying on the weak.
Can you imagine the darkness that would descend upon the world
if America were not alive and well?"
"I looked at the woman sitting
in the car next to me. She had this startled look on her face. We
were all thinking the same thing. We looked out the front of our
windows to try to see the plane, and it wasn't until a few seconds
later that we realized the jet was coming up behind us on that major
highway. And it veered to the right into the Pentagon. The blast
literally rocked all of our cars. It was an incredible moment.
"I ended up being able to
head on into Washington, D.C. My daughter works on Capitol Hill
and I wanted to find out if she was safe. I also just wanted to
be in Washington that day, to see if there was anything that I could
Bauer remembered Winston Churchill's
reaction to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Churchill didn't ask what
kind of people would do such a thing. Rather, he asked, "What kind
of people do they think we are?" How was it that those attackers
miscalculated, thinking that if they struck us with that treacherous
blow, our reaction would be to give up? Bauer asked the same question
about our current enemies.
Bauer, long a crusader against
Chinese human rights abuses, reminded the audience that the Chinese,
too, should be on our list of people who do not like us. He told
the story of the Chinese reporters in D.C. who burst into applause
at the news of the attack on the World Trade Center. They were soon
expelled by the State Department.
"Some of them have watched
us elevate the 'right' to take the lives of our own children to
a high Constitutional privilege, right up there with freedom of
speech and freedom of religion. And they've concluded, 'If they
think taking the lives of their own children is a Constitutional
right, are they going to get that upset if we take the lives of
their children?'
"They then look at our men,
and they've seen that we abandon our wives at the first sign of
a wrinkle in the face, or a thickening of the waist. Maybe they
see American men hunched over computers consuming more pornography
daily than any civilization in the history of the world.
"Maybe they've watched our
political leadership in the last decade or so. Seducing the young
women who they were charged to be responsible for, and American
voters didn't seem really to be all that upset about it. I mean,
for crying out loud, the girls' fathers didn't seem to be that upset
about it."
Bauer reminded his audience
that those bad things are every bit as important for us to battle
as the terrorists. He is confident that even in 2001 America, there
is still a reservoir of "family and faith, the depths of which even
we sometimes underestimate."
"We're the kind of country
who produced such policemen and firemen, those blue-collar guys
who ran up the steps of the World Trade Center into the jaws of
hell, to rescue the titans of industry and finance. There wasn't
much class warfare going on that morning, was there? We are the
nation who has been freedom's army. ... We have not sent our sons
to conquer territory or to accumulate wealth," but only to protect
somebody else's freedom.
If the U.S. were to disappear,
"the world would more closely resemble hell than anything else.
It is this nation and people like you that stand between the strong
preying on the weak. Can you imagine the darkness that would descend
upon the world if America were not alive and well?"
The heroism of the ordinary
Americans aboard the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania prevented
some additional horrific picture – a smoldering White House, a nuclear
power plant in meltdown.
Bauer considers September
11 a "turn moment" in our nation's history. It should make us re-examine
many things. We must now build up our defenses, stop short-changing
the defense budget, pay our servicemen and women a living wage and
get serious about immigration reform and intelligence gathering.
But it will also be a turn
moment "that will make us want to win the battle for family, faith,
and freedom right here in America."
"Because . . . if it's a turn
moment, we can't keep doing the things we've been doing. We saw
death head-on that morning. We've got to stop embracing death,"
as we do in allowing a million of our babies to die each year.
If September 11 was a turn
moment, then we can no longer cower in front of "a radical movement
that wants to redefine two thousand years of Judeo-Christian civilization
so that men can marry men, and women can marry women; a movement
that wants to browbeat the Boy Scouts and the Salvation Army into
changing the rules about who they are; and who wants to call men
and women like you 'bigots,' in the hope that you'll be silent.
If September 11 is a change moment, that movement will lose. And
make it start here in Massachusetts in a few weeks."
Bauer asked who our enemy
is. It's easy to identify Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein. But the real
enemy we are battling "is a much more ancient foe. He was there
walking with Stalin, when Stalin decided it was okay to kill 20
million of his own people, and do it without an ounce of remorse.
"He was there with Hitler,
whispered in his ear that idea on Auschwitz, brought the world into
a war that brought incredible damage that even today we cannot totally
comprehend. You know, as we're all in the foxhole together, remember
that the good people of London were bombed for 67 straight nights.
At the end of it, 13,000 of them were dead. They made it through;
so will we.
"The real enemy was there
that spring morning in Littleton, Colorado." Though the two student
killers died that day, Bauer reminded the audience, their complete
plans included an escape to Denver to hijack a plane, and then force
it to crash into the World Trade Center. "You know, the enemy, when
he gets an idea into his mind, he doesn't let it go easily."
Bauer's overall message was
positive, expressing confidence in our nation's leadership and military.
On the spiritual level, too, he is confident. "Everybody in this
room believes in a couple of truths: that God is still in charge,
and that we have been promised that the gates of hell will not prevail.
That's good enough for me. That's a pretty good Valium for the soul,
to keep us calm in these times of troubles."
Bauer was formerly head of
the Family Research Council and candidate for the Republican Presidential
nomination in 2000. He is now chairman of the Campaign for Working
Families. Ten years ago, he was the speaker at MFI's first banquet.
He admitted that he left that affair doubting success for any such
conservative, pro-family organization in the rocky soil of New England.
"Oh come on, it's Massachusetts!
These guys aren't gonna last for more than a couple of weeks." But,
contrary to his fears, he said MFI has "thrived" in its ten years
and had "an incredible impact on public policy, even in this liberal
Bauer had expected the tenth
annual banquet would be celebratory–until the events of September
The overriding message of
the evening was that recent events should not distract people from
supporting MFI's pro-family causes.
Its president Ronald Crews
said, "We see that things that were important to us prior to September
11 are still important to us now." A sovereign God is at work around
us, and we need to pray that He will "have mercy on our nation once
again, and lead us as a nation to repentance and faith."
Crews announced a new MFI
initiative in cooperation with Massachusetts churches called "Marriage
Matters." Its aim is to strengthen marriages and decrease divorce,
by encouraging churches to develop pre-marriage counseling and couples
MFI's new program with A Woman's
Concern, called "Dad's the Man," seeks the men responsible for the
pregnancies of the women coming to the pregnancy resource center,
and encourages marriage when possible.
This year, MFI is helping
to defend the traditional definition of marriage as between one
man and one woman.

At Long Last, Martin Lawrence and Kelsey Grammer Will Co-Star in a TV Show Together
FX — Fox's edgy channel that's too edgy for vowels — is really pushing the boundaries with its newest show: a Martin Lawrence-Kelsey Grammer odd couple sitcom. We have 90's nostalgists to blame for this one.
This must-see TV show will feature Lawrence and Grammer as two men who meet on the worst day of both their lives. They have nothing in common, except that they're both lawyers, and decide to work together. Hijinks and hilarity, we're lead to believe, ensue. The show will air for 10 episodes and if it hits a predetermined ratings benchmark, FX will order another 90 episodes, just like it did with America's other sweetheart's show, Charlie Sheen's Anger Management. FX has not announced the series' name or when it will start airing just yet.
Now that Martin and Frasier Crane are finally starring in a show together, you can get back to praying for that 3rd Rock from the Sun-Family Matters crossover series you've been dreaming about.

Connecticut spent more than $109 million on Earned Income Tax Credits
Editor's note: This version updates and corrects the original story posted Thursday afternoon.
Connecticut's Earned Income Tax Credit might be re-negotiated as state legislators try to close a $1.1 billion budget deficit for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
"It has been on my radar in terms of cutting programs," said state Rep. Edward Moukawsher, D-Groton.
The program cost the state $109 million in 2012, based on 2011 tax filings. About 180,000 Connecticut households with average incomes of $18,000 received an average of $600 in 2012, according to the Fiscal Policy Center at Connecticut Voices for Children.
The program was based on the federal Earned Income Tax Credit program, which on average provided a $2,000 in tax credit for workers earning an average of $18,000, the policy center said. The federal program cost about $56 billion in fiscal year 2011 and the Government Accountability Office estimated that 23.5 percent or $15.2 billion was paid incorrectly.
"What most people will admit is it is fraught with fraud," said House Majority Leader Larry Cafero, R-Norwalk. … "Fifteen to 25 percent on the federal level, and ours piggybacks off of that."
In last month's deficit mitigation bill, legislators agreed to find $1 million of fraud in the Earned Income Tax Credit program.
Wade Gibson, senior policy fellow at the Fiscal Policy Center at Connecticut Voices for Children said he wants tax fraud across all programs investigated but that capturing a couple hundred dollars from poor people might not be the way to go.
"Tax fraud; it's usually not with poor people, it's usually with much more wealthy corporations," Gibson said.
Some lawmakers are also frustrated that many Earned Income Tax Credit beneficiaries don't pay much in state income taxes, however, they receive a "refund."
"They are not paying income taxes and they are getting a payment just based on their income and family situation," Moukawsher said.
If someone who used the Earned Income Tax Credit was paying a state income tax it would be small because a single person making $12,000 and less does not pay a state income tax, according to the state Department of Revenue Services.
An individual without children who qualified for the state or federal Earned Income Tax Credit would have to earn less than approximately $13,900, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Individuals or couples without children would have to earn less than approximately $19,200 and individuals or couples with children would have to earn less than approximately $50,300.
The Office of Fiscal Analysis estimated that the program would cost $116.5 million in fiscal year 2013. Because the tax credit is new and roughly 10 percent of the current $1.1 billion budget deficit it might be challenging to keep.
"If we want to help people, we create a program, but we never take the time to see if we can pay for it," Cafero said. "So now when the citizen gets used to the program we find ourselves in the same position as we did last month."
In New London County 13,911 households claimed the credit and each received on average $598. Hartford County had the most claims, 51,322 households, each receiving and average of $614.
The aim of the tax credit was to make the state tax code more progressive and offset sales tax increases, the policy center said.
"Whatever the merits are, one way or another, I just didn't think we could afford (it) when we did it and don't see how we can afford it now," Moukawsher said.
Earned Income Tax Credits by Town
• East Lyme, 522 households, total amount claimed $258,929
• Franklin, 48 households, total amount claimed $32,037
• Griswold, 721 households, total amount claimed $388,327

PHILADELPHIA - After an up and down season, the men's squash team will be looking to end the team portion of the schedule on a positive note when Quakers head to the Hoehn Cup this weekend. The Hoehn Cup is the "B" Division of the team championships and will feature the ninth through 16th ranked teams in the College Squash Association. The Quakers come in as the 10th ranked team overall and second-highest ranked team in this division. The only team ranked above them that the Quakers could face this weekend would be Western Ontario, who is ranked ninth. The Quakers and Western Ontario could not meet until the final day of competition.
Penn has gone up against four teams that will be competing in the Hoehn Cup this weekend. The Quakers are a combined 4-0 in these matches. Penn's opening round will be a rematch against No. 15 Bates, a team the Quakers defeated 9-0 back in the beginning of December. In that December meeting, seven of the Quaker's nine wins came in three game sweeps.
Should the seeds hold in the bottom half of the bracket and the higher ranked teams advance, Penn would face another rematch against No. 11 Williams. Williams faces No. 14 Middlebury in the opening round. The Quakers defeated Williams 5-4 on January 15. This match was one of the most competitive on the season. Aside from the 5-4 team score, only two matches ended in 3-0 sweeps and four of the matches went to a fifth-game tiebreak.
The other two teams in the Hoehn Cup that Penn has faced this season are No. 12 Brown, who Penn defeated 7-2, and No. 16 Navy, who Penn defeated 9-0. Both these teams are in the top-half of the bracket and Penn could not see them until Sunday.
Individually, Penn had two players who finished the season inside the top nine with winning records. Trevor McGuinness capped the regular season with a 6-5 record. He split time between number five and six, although he did play as high as number four during the year. Freshman Daniel Judd finished the year with an overall record of 6-4, including a 3-3 mark playing inside of the top nine. Judd began the season outside of the top nine, but forced his way into the ladder and has climbed all the way up to number seven late in the season. Fellow freshman John Dudzik finished his regular season with a 6-6 record, including a 5-4 mark at number eight.
Penn will come into the Hoehn Cup as the defending champions of this event. The team will begin play in Belmont Hill, Massachusetts at 11 a.m. If Penn wins, it will advance to the semi-finals, hosted by Harvard, on Saturday at Noon. A Penn loss would also have them playing on Harvard's courts, but the team would play a consolation match at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
In the top half of the bracket, the favorites coming into the tournament, Western Ontario open up with No. 16 Navy. In the other quarterfinal, No. 12 Brown will take on No. 13 Saint Lawrence.
The College Squash Association will be providing live updates throughout the tournament at every level. Penn Athletics will also be providing a full day recap at the end of every Quaker match.

If you're a poet or writer (or otherwise involved in the arts), I can help you get the word out about your work.
I offer various services for poets, writers, artists, musicians, small businesses and organizations, including:
Read on for details on each of these services.
Websites for Poets, Writers & the Arts
I'll create a website just for you that's built to showcase your creative work. It's a great way to share your words with the world, announce news, readings & events, build your social media presence, interact with your readers, and sell your books or art.
Not a writer or artist? That's cool, too.
I'm glad to work with people, non-profits, and small businesses of all stripes. And, I've been doing it since 2000 so have the experience to do it right.
custom websites & blogs
Just need a place to share (for example) a poem or two, your contact information, brief bio & some news? A one-page website may be just what you need.
Or, to showcase the extent of your work, a larger website will let you stretch out and share larger amounts of your work, mp3s, and photos, sell books or CDs, publish a longer bio, share scheduled events, reviews, news, links, and whatever else you'd like.
Regardless of size, your new website will be designed with your needs & desires in mind, to present you & your work in the best possible light.
We can also provide webhosting, email accounts, detailed website statistics, website promotion & more.
Extra features such as a blog, discussion forum, or mailing list can also be added. There are many possibilities.
How much does it cost? Well, it depends. Since your site is unique in its needs, I'll give you a quote based upon your particular requirements & desires.
And, if you have a particular budget, do let me know what it is – I can come likely come up with a solution to fit. New sites start at a few hundred dollars.
website redesign & updates
Got a website you're not happy with? Does it need a complete redesign?
Or maybe just a little sprucing up, or some updates?
I can do that for you, too.
Want to see some examples?
For examples of previous websites I've designed, please visit my portfolio at Quanta Webdesign.
I've designed sites for poets & authors (e.g., Michael McClure, Ted Joans, Edwin Romond, Lenita Sheridan, Sue Westwind); musicians (e.g. Beyond from Within, Michael McClure & Ray Manzarek, Susie Flaherty), artists & photographers (e.g., Larry Keenan, Katie Pfeiffer, Diartspora Gallery) literary presses, magazines, as well as other small businesses and organizations.
How long does it take?
That depends. A simple site could possibly be up in two weeks; a more complex site may take over a month. However, much depends on how quickly you can get your content (text, photos, etc.) to me, and how quickly you approve the proposed design. And, if you have a deadline, be sure to let me know.
Once I know your needs, I can give you a time frame for completion.
get a free quote
Just email me with your details, telling me what you'd like to include on your site, & I'll give you a quote.
Not sure what to put on your site? I can assist you with that, too.
Please email me for more details, and be sure to mention Empty Mirror.
Online website promotion & SEO
Do you already have a website but get few visitors? Want to amp up your internet presence?
It can be done. By doing some simple things (e.g., gaining quality, relevant links to your website; making small changes to your site's text and coding; following best practices) your website can be more easily found in a search, and attract more visitors. I'll analyze your site and see what we need to do to drive more visitors to your site.
Just email me, or visit my other site, Quanta Web Design & Promotion, to find out more.
I have 12 years experience in website design and promotion for the literary & arts community, and 20+ years of experience with small-press publishing (as a poet, editor & publisher).

How may I help you?
What can I do for you? Please email me (Denise) and let me know.

Rain Songs, Anyone?
The perky Genelia D'Souza recently tweeted that she had just finished shooting for a rain song. While it was a fairly ordinary event, we're sure it had many of us thinking, 'not another one!'
The perky Genelia D'Souza recently tweeted that she had just finished shooting for a rain song. While it was a fairly ordinary event, we're sure it had many of us thinking, 'not another one!'
It's been just a few days since the arrival of the monsoons but the impact has been quite profound so far. And as if reports of the rains in newspapers and on television weren't enough, it is spilling out on to the cyberspace too.
Twitter is replete with celebrities commenting about the advent of the monsoon and its effect on the shooting schedules. Indeed, outdoor shooting plans can go for a toss by a sudden, unexpected shower. Genelia D'souza, who is shooting down South, agrees. "Gd mrng all..shoot put on hold as its rainin here, pray dat it clears up a bit n v can shoot," she tweets.
Catfights in Bollywood are an everyday story; you have actresses fighting over clothes, roles, make up artists, attention of men, etc. But it's not everyday that you find actresses competing over endorsements.
The two pretty actresses in question are none other than cutie Genelia D'souza and the sexy Asin. Both of them are currently enjoying hit innings in Bollywood. While Genelia acted in the successful coming-of-age romantic comedy 'Jaane tu…ya Jaane Na' Asin is definitely not lagging behind debuting in every wannabe actresses dream wagon, opposite Aamir Khan in 'Ghajini', she also sizzled on screen with bad boy of Bollywood with a heart of gold Salman Khan. So one may think that the actresses are neck to neck…well not really!
David Dhawan's film, Hook Ya Crook, starring John Abraham and Genelia D'Souza, has been shelved. It was going steady, had completed 90% of the film and even had UTV as its producer. The film was done away with, despite the amount of funds poured in by UTV, because they felt it won't work.
Here are some childhood pictures of Bollywood's latest chocolate boy Imran Khan. Imran Khan would be soon seen in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. The movie also stars southern cutie Genelia D'souza who was last seen in Masti.

BWW Reviews: NYC Premiere of Mark Morris Dance Group ACIS AND GALATEA
The crown jewel of this year's Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center is Mark Morris Dance Group's new staging of ACIS AND GALATEA. The much-anticipated production, which had runs in Berkeley and Boston earlier this spring, made its New York premiere on Thursday evening.
Not only have I heard tenor Thomas Cooley, who sings the role of Acis in Morris' production, perform the role under the baton of Jane Glover. I have, in fact, worked on a production of ACIS myself, and have heard practically every recording of the piece that's out there.
Needless to say, my level of expectation for any production of this piece is extremely high. But, with Morris as the impresario, I knew the production would be unforgettable.
I must admit that at the beginning of the opera, I was a tad worried that Morris' choreography would be derivative of the Wayne McGregor's 2009 production at the Royal Opera House, London.
As Yulia Van Doren sings Galatea's "birdsong" aria, "Hush ye pretty warbling choir," a dancer enters the playing space with birdlike movements, just as in the ROH production. After a few bars, though, you realize Morris has created something entirely his own. Rather than limit himself to a pair of love birds, as in McGregor's version, Morris populates the stage with an entire flock.
The talented dancers of the Mark Morris Dance Group peck and poke, flap and flutter. In this aria, Morris and his dancers created a vocabulary of movement playfully inspired by birds, but more colloquial and less balletic than that of McGregor.
The chuckles continued throughout the evening. But the show isn't all laughs. Morris balances every moment of humor with tenderness, all perfectly matched to the music.
For example, in Galatea's aria "As when the dove laments her love," the singer repeats the word "no" several times on the same pitch during one phrase. Morris transformed this simple musical gesture into a touching choreographic one. Each time Galatea sings "no," she playful hits her lover, ultimately pushing him to the ground - an intimate "no means yes" moment that the audience is allowed to voyeuristically enjoy.
More moving still was Cooley's solo performance of "Love in her eyes sits playing," which made me tear up within a few beats of the vocal entrance. Many singers have an incredible capacity for feeling, but it is quite another to externalize those feelings, and on top of it, to make yourself vulnerable to thousands of strangers! Cooley's deep capacity for feeling and his unique ability to express those feelings so immediately are true gifts.

Google to pay USD 22.5 million for violating privacy
Internet giant Google has agreed to pay USD 22.5 million as fine to settle charges that it violated the default privacy norms of the Apple`s web browser, Safari, the US Federal regulators have said.
Washington: Internet giant Google has agreed to pay USD 22.5 million as fine to settle charges that it violated the default privacy norms of the Apple`s web browser, Safari, the US Federal regulators have said.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) had charged that it misrepresented to users of Safari that it would not place tracking "cookies" or serve targeted ads to those users, violating an earlier privacy settlement between the company and the FTC.
The settlement is part of the FTC`s ongoing efforts make sure companies live up to the privacy promises they make to consumers, and is the largest penalty the agency has ever obtained for a violation of a Commission order.
In addition to the civil penalty, the order also requires Google to disable all the tracking cookies it had said it would not place on consumers` computers.
"The record setting penalty in this matter sends a clear message to all companies under an FTC privacy order," said Jon Leibowitz, Chairman of the FTC.
In its complaint, the FTC charged that for several months in 2011 and 2012, Google placed a certain advertising tracking cookie on the computers of Safari users who visited sites within Google`s DoubleClick advertising network, although Google had previously told these users they would automatically be opted out of such tracking, as a result of the default settings of the Safari browser used in Macs, iPhones and iPads.
According to the FTC`s complaint, Google specifically told Safari users that because the Safari browser is set by default to block third-party cookies, as long as users do not change their browser settings, this setting "effectively accomplishes the same thing as [opting out of this particular Google advertising tracking cookie]."
In addition, Google represented that it is a member of an industry group called the Network Advertising Initiative, which requires members to adhere to its self-regulatory code of conduct, including disclosure of their data collection and use practices.
Despite these promises, the FTC charged that Google placed advertising tracking cookies on consumers` computers, in many cases by circumventing the Safari browser`s default cookie-blocking setting.
Google exploited an exception to the browser`s default setting to place a temporary cookie from the DoubleClick domain.
Because of the particular operation of the Safari browser, that initial temporary cookie opened the door to all cookies from the DoubleClick domain, including the Google advertising tracking cookie that Google had represented would be blocked from Safari browsers.
The FTC charged that Google`s misrepresentations violated a settlement it reached with the agency in October 2011, which barred Google from among other things, misrepresenting the extent to which consumers can exercise control over the collection of their information.
The earlier settlement resolved FTC charges that Google used deceptive tactics and violated its privacy promises when it launched its social network, Google Buzz.

She sounds like a very interesting person, and inspirational speaker. Glad you had a good day.Annie Ups the Ante
I'm cautiously saying that work seems to be coming under control . I've spent pretty much a week at home just catching up, and I THINK I know about the things that are coming up. Feels good.
Another detox day is over. That feels good, too.
I'm still ruminating on the weight loss thing. I've shifted to wondering what it would feel like to be 70kgs - and my first response was that I shouldn't go that low. I don't know how to be that person! Unpicking that response, I thought about how I dress now, and how that might change if I lose over 20kg. I put it into pounds - I'm about 210lbs at the moment, and if this diet works I'll go down to about 150.
Right now I dress in kind of flowing clothes - black pants and loose tops for work, track pants and loose t-shirts at home. I usually wear flat or nearly flat shoes. I use mascara and eyeliner for work, and nothing when I'm 'off duty'. I have fairly plain underwear. In the past when I've lost weight, which I've done 3 times with varying lowest weights from 84kgs/185lbs down to 60kgs/130lbs (that low weight was pathological r/t my divorce - my period stopped and I slept all the time), I've also changed my dress style to tighter clothes that have a more 'look at me' vibe to them, sexy underwear and nightwear. Maybe that's a clue about why I regain. If this huge change is going to work, I need to be comfortable as much as possible. I suspect it's enough of a challenge to cope with a different body in private, without making it public. The answer to this is to consciously stay with the same style of dress while I adjust. Just one single change at a time.
Maintaining a lower weight is another thing. I'll be staying with paleo, without a doubt. But I also know I have a bit of an issue with sugar but I don't honestly think I can spend the rest of my life being paranoid about everything I eat. I'll need to think about that some more, and sort out the sugar demon screaming at me not to deprive myself, the masochist who wants a life of deprivation, and a sensible way to live my life.
I've also been thinking that I would go to the gym specifically to start lifting. I have some concerns about hurting myself if I try to do it on my own, some about being generally quite weak, lots about osteoporosis and lack of balance (neither of which I have, and I want to stave them off for as long as possible if not forever). I also really like the feeling of being strong - it makes me feel more energetic and adventurous. I'd have to get brave, though, and get a trainer to help me get started. I'd also have to be willing to take my wobbly, weak body into a palace of tight, strong people. EeekStarted Feb 18 2011

Wow, I've achieved next to nothing at work today - I've ventured into threads I'd usually keep well clear of, and it kind of feels like watching a train wreck in verrrrrrrry slooooooow motion.
I've also been thinking and reading about sugar and exercise. I'm such a good employee today . Today is grocery day, and I'm going to stock up on supplies to help me get over this sugar crap. I did a list of foods that I really don't want to live without on a permanent basis:
- fruit juice (I don't have this very often, but if we're out with friends an OJ is a good substitute for alcohol)
- homemade chutney or relish - I have this really often, like daily
- chocolate
- dried fruit - again, not a frequent food
- icecream
- honey
- maple syrup
- pineapple/watermelon/all fruits
Apart from the chutney and chocolate, these are not everyday or even everyweek foods. They're mostly in a social context, and saying no to them every time feels like deprivation. My question to myself is whether it's possible for me to have these things in my life and stay in control. I've certainly had less cravings since I've been feeling better - but at work today I've had milk chocolate and a 'fizzy fruit drink' (which means carbonated apple juice with added sugar). I'm bored and frustrated today - my office is a nice space but it's confining, and I've had lots of people popping in to see me. I'm eating to try and make myself feel better, but instead I just feel tired.
Anyway, regardless of those reasons, I know that when I don't eat sugar I don't crave it. So that's what I'm planning to do for now. That involves staying away from fruit unless it's with a meal and not intensely sweet. My only potential derailing point, and the one I keep using as an excuse not to start this process, is that the protein shake I've been prescribed has sweeteners in it, and it tastes super-sweet to me. But I have to give it a try.
Re exercise - I'm not changing anything just now. Rest and stability are part of the treatment plan.Started Feb 18 2011

It was a good weekend. I'm doing fine, food-wise . The detox powder should last til Saturday, but I think it's only got enough left for another 2-3 days. Then I get to experience the third phase powder . I'm too scared to open the can just yet!
It feels more and more like spring, but we still have that really cold southerly that gives me an earache. It's lovely when I can find a place out of the wind, though!!
I'll be working from home for a lot of this week, which I'm really happy about. I get to have more meaningful breaks this way, involving playing with the dogs and a bit of housework. That beats wandering down to get a cup of tea then plunking down in front of the computer again.Started Feb 18 2011

Seriously, I just want to feel relaxed about what I eat. I get that I can't do that now, because I'm still a fucked up unit . But surely it can happen one day?? I wonder if I'll live that long, lol.
I finished that horrible detox powder today! The next phase is all about vitamins and minerals.
I get so hyped up and positive just after I've seen the doctor, and now that it's been a while I can't help wondering if he can really reverse all that damage from the last 40 odd years with just a few months of supplements. The jury is still out.

no I havent read anything about this PEAT business yet. I did stop in on a thread about sugar and my god, what a slag fest was going on in there. I remember now why I dont really bother reading the other threads now. The trouble with sugar (if you ask me which I'm sure you will ) is that it's just so addictive. Someone has just put out some lollies at work. Well oh oh, now I want to eat more than one - or possibly more than a hundred I dont eat fruit so it's not like I've ever had my sugar from there anyway. But realistically, I know that if I was to ditch sugar (and by that I mean the white stuff, not carbs per se), then I really would most likely see the scales move. And I would probably look better too, because lets get real, sugar does age us.
You're so sensible, Suse . I do want to get off the sugar, because I hate feeling out of control - and it definitely makes me feel more hungry. The thing I can't figure out yet is the effect of fruit and starches on sugar cravings. I kind of think they don't start me craving, but something does! The only time I'm properly free of wanting sweet things is when I don't have any at all. But on the other hand, I do know that stevia doesn't trigger me at all.
Anyway - the next phase of detox starts today, and it smells like vanilla. It also has rice protein in it so it'll be grainy. I can't wait to be done with this because drinking my breakfast isn't really working for me.

Jac have you tried chromium supplementation? my naturopath years ago in my vegan days gave it to me to help with sugar cravings. i recently got some carnitine which has chromium in and i have avoided chocolate and even said no to desert whilst away on holiday. and i wasnt being self righteous, i just didnt truly feel like it.
The peat stuff is interesting. not sure about all that sugar, fruit or honey maybe, but i can say i have made my best gains at the gym when i have had hummingbird days the day before. eg my first chinup or my 87.5kg deadlift. and i also was at my leanest before i got into conciously being low carb and i had way more energy. i am the disaster low carb poster child the peaties speak of in terms of being all good and slowly losing energy and gaining weight on low carb so i do know it happens. and it wasnt coz i wasnt good enuf at being low carb or paleo either. i also like the fact peat is not into grains or nuts but he is into coffee
Actually that's a good reminder - I used to take chromium and it worked. I keep thinking that if this really is an endocrine issue that the cravings must surely go away. And if I'm now almost healthy enough to start the weight loss phase, why do I still have the cravings??
I'm quite nervous about the low carb thing, but I guess if I'm doing it for short bursts under medical supervision . . . last time I started really well, then over the course of a couple of weeks I got less and less energetic and ended up really miserable.
Now coffee - I never really got the hang of drinking it! It makes my heart jump around, interfering with sleep, and gives me the jitters, as well as tasting awful. I do love the smell though, lol.Started Feb 18 2011

i used to get heart palpitations from those cutting pills with 150mg of caffeine in and poss some now banned substances. it was a long time ago. according to the peaties, you put sugar in your coffee to blunt the cortisol effect on your adrenals. since i dont like sugar in my coffee and milk apparently spikes your insulin more than bread, i stick with lattes. caffeine has never stopped me sleeping.

I came back in also to say that this isn't a binge issue for me - it's just a constant niggle that I'd rather not have. (my idea of bingeing is to have 2 of those mini chocolate bars, which is quite bad enough).Started Feb 18 2011

yes i am not entirely convinced that sugar is good for me. plus i have to say everyone i know who eats lots of sugar, even if they are skinny, hasnt aged well. maybe it's really the PUFAs they are eating with the sugar but everyone else eats them too. mine is definitely a binge issue. not a constant niggle. i could eat a whole big bar of chocolate when i wanted to. and it would make me feel very sick lol

I am so, so excited to have the very talented Crystal of Crystal Chick Photography guest blogging here today! You might recall her generous donation during Krafts for Katelyn back in February. Well, she's back & happy to be sharing some helpful photography tips for all you Etsy & Ebay sellers.
Take it away, Crystal!
So you've made some really awesome crafty thing, and you want to sell it online. Once you've washed the paint off your hands or bandaged up the needle pricks in your fingers, you're ready to photograph your item!
You know how great your product is. You know how much time, effort, heart & soul you've put into creating it. A great photograph of your item can help relay that to potential buyers – they can see the quality of your work, plus it gives them a feeling of security that you are a serious & professional seller. (And that's what you are, right? Don't hide it!) Below are a few tips on how you can flaunt your goods!
Let's start with lighting.
The best light is natural light. And by natural light, I mean Mr. Sunshine. God gave us light, and light is good. Open up your curtains, and let those lovely UV rays embrace your product. Your product will thank you.
This is an example of a necklace I photographed near a window.
If you are photographing your item outside, set it up in open shade, not direct sunlight. Light is good, indeed. But too much light is not good. Overcast days are great for photographing out in the open. If it's sunny out, find a shade tree, or go under the porch awning.
This is an example of a craft I made, and my son demonstrating it.
Remember when I said too much light is not good? Well, using a flash is more than not good. It's eeveel! Sorry, I don't mean to alarm you, but I have to keep it real. The long and short of it is this: Flash is harsh. Narrow. Unpredictable. It only covers a certain area, and the parts it covers, it covers too harshly. That's why we like the sun. It's big, it's continuous (until night time, of course), and spreads it's light around for all to share. And if the sun fails us, we also love lamps.
This is an example of a toy robot I took a picture of using desk lights and a white sheet of paper. Domo.
Camera notes: Some digital cameras will allow you to adjust White Balance. (Check your user manual.) White balance is how the camera reads the whiteness of the available light. If you are outside, set the White Balance to outdoor mode, if you are inside, set it to indoor mode. (Just for fun, set it to outdoor mode inside and see how it skews the lighting in your room.)
Let's talk about backgrounds.
Now that your product is properly lit, we can talk about what's behind your product. For most of your pictures, a clean, simple, distraction free background is the best way to show off your item.
You'll see a lot of photos on Etsy, for example, with completely white backgrounds. You can accomplish this by placing your item in front of a white wall, and on top of either a white table, or a table covered with a white table cloth. If your item is actually white, then ignore what I just said. The point is to get your object to stand out.
You can create a tabletop photo studio called a light box. There are lots of tutorials online for creating a light box. It's basically a cardboard box with holes cut in the sides and lights shining through. Google it. There are people who have written tutorials with pictures and everything. The Internet is amazing.
(Don't' feel like googling it? Click here: http://photodoto.com/create-your-own-light-box/ or here: http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html)
Image from Etsy user gabrielsaunt.
Not all backgrounds have to be plain white. If you feel your product would be better displayed with some color, play around with it. You might add a colored sheet to that light box you just rigged up. You might like to use a brick wall, an old piece of wood, funky wallpaper. Whatever you choose, place your object a good distance from the background (1-3 feet should do the trick). This way your camera will focus on the object and slightly blur out the background, making your item stand out more. And it's all about the item, remember?
Image from Etsy user lavenders.
Let's talk about using a tripod.
Anytime you're photographing products to sell online, it's a good idea to use a tripod. In low-light situations, your camera's shutter has to stay open longer to let enough light in to capture your photo. This is when you get camera shake. We aren't statues! The gorillapod is a fun tripod that can be used table top, or wrapped around objects to be mounted in unique angles. It's small, and travels well. You might be interested in getting a larger tripod, instead. One that will mount on the ground so you can adjust the height yourself. If you really want to go nuts, you could just prop your camera up on a stack of books. Crazy, right?
If you find that even with a tripod, you are still getting camera shake, first make sure you have plenty of light in the room. Second, did you really need that second cup of coffee? Third, you might considering setting the self timer. This way you press the button and step away for 10 seconds (You can breathe while the timer is counting down. I give you permission.)
Ready to shoot?
Your item is mounted on a table. You've got plenty of light. Your camera is on the tripod. You've checked your White Balance. You skipped the second cup of joe. You are ready to shoot!
Let's get creative with it.
Take pictures. Lots of pictures. (and don't delete them.)
As you are putting all these tips to practice, might I suggest the following: Don't delete photos in the camera as your snapping away. Wait until you get them loaded on your computer. There have been many times I thought something didn't work when I looked at it on the camera screen, but once I pulled it up on my monitor, I was surprised with the results.
Take pictures at different angles.
**Take a few photos straight on.
Image from Etsy user elsee99
**Take a few photos with your camera slightly above the item, angling downwards.
Image from Etsy user shabbylanebaby
**Get in close to show details. (Use the macro setting on your camera for this!)
**If it can be opened, show the inside. Any area of importance should be featured.
Image from Etsy user shamsandcoverups
Take pictures that demonstrates the product.
After you get lots of photos of your product, you might consider also taking a picture of the item being "used."
An article of clothing on a form or a model.
Image from Etsy user Lwangslife.
A headband on a head. (Mind blowing, I know!)
Image from Etsy user ThreadRare.
A purse on the arm of a friend.
(Remember, the focus is the product, not the model.)
(Remember, the focus is the product, not the model.)

Display that teapot you hand-painted on a table next to a fresh pastry. Display a hand-crafted bowl filled with candy or other items.
Image from Etsy user MarkHudak.
Mirrors, frames, wall art, sconces, etc – Hang it on a wall. Fill it with items. Let the viewer see how this product would be used in their home.
Image from Etsy user bluebirdheaven.
Take pictures then photoshop them.
No wait. I'm afraid using that phrase means that you will all go berserk photoshopping and making your photos look keeeerazy. Remember, keep it simple & clean. You want to be as true to your product as possible. I know there are all these photoshopping trends right now. (I'm a photographer, I've used many of them myself!) But listen. If you throw a vintage action, or funky texture, or super saturation over a clean & simple photo of that adorable sundress, then your potential buyers are not going to be able to see it as it truly is. Even if it does make your photo look a lot more hip. Remember, it's about your product.
I'm not here to blow your mind with everything you ever wanted to know about Photoshop, but here are a couple of quick tips:
- If you find your photo is too dark, you can slightly adjust the brightness. (In Photoshop, adjust with Brightness, Curves, or Levels). If your photo is way too dark (or way too bright), just go reshoot it.
- To bump the color up, tweak the saturation slightly.
- If you find your photo is too warm (yellow/orange) or too cool (blueish), adjust the temperature (usually there is a color slider that can be dragged back and forth between blue and yellow).
- Crop your photo if you need to center it, if you need to remove something that accidentally snuck in the corner of your photo. (If you live in my house, you'll find a dog's tail sneaks into photos every now and then.) As long as you are not cropping too much. If there is too much that needs to be cropped (ie. you just realized you can totally see that laundry basket in the background), reshoot it. And this time put the dog away
somewhere. Or the laundry. Or just relocate your shoot if you can't be bothered with either.
In closing… (it had to end sometime!)
When Jen asked me to write up this blog post, I wondered if I'd come up with anything. The focus of my photography is wild & crazy children, not inanimate objects. But once you photograph wild & crazy children, inanimate objects are a walk in the park. An inanimate walk in the park. If that's possible. Thanks for having me, Jen. I always enjoy reading your blog, and it's been a pleasure to be a guest here.
As for you readers out there, I wish you all success in your crafting adventures & businesses. I hope you find these tips helpful in taking your craft photography to the next level. Now, I know you all have some craft laying around that has been freshly made that you can practice photographing right now. (If it's food-related, don't bother, just package it up and ship it to me directly.)
