Answer these two questions, and we will help you find care that is right for you.
Please make sure you update age and diagnosis.

Skyland Trail pairs comprehensive diagnostic services with evidence-based therapies to help individuals ages 18 and older recover from severe mental illness. Whether a young adult experiencing your first episode of mental illness, or a mid-career professional who has been struggling for years, we can help.
Our comprehensive recovery philosophy integrates mental, physical and spiritual health with community reintegration. Each client has an individualized recovery plan that includes psychiatric services, primary medical care, counseling and adjunctive therapies within a single system.
Family involvement is essential for a client's recovery. We provide a range of opportunities for families to be involved in the recovery journey, including orientation and education, family counseling, and support groups.
Skyland Trail is a nonprofit mental health treatment organization based in Atlanta. For more than 20 years, we have been inspiring people with mental illness to thrive through a holistic program of evidence-based psychiatric treatment, integrated medical care, research and education.
Recovery from mental illness happens step by step, each one an act of courage. We empower clients to keep moving forward, all the way back to a full and satisfying life. By supporting Skyland Trail, you become part of this hopeful, healing journey.
We recognize that you have a unique set of concerns and we encourage you to talk with us directly. We also invite you to schedule a visit or request to receive more information.
"Each member of the Skyland Trail staff brings their own gift to the table. I was always amazed at how well informed each member of my treatment team was on my daily progress. Skyland Trail staff are extremely powerful on their own, however, they bring their strengths together so wonderfully that they synergize into a dynamite team"
– Kari S., former client
While each client works with a consistent psychiatrist and primary counselor over the course of treatment, each client receives help and guidance from a multidisciplinary team of caring experts at Skyland Trail. Team members include:
At admission, the psychiatrist conducts a one hour psychiatric diagnostic assessment. He or she gathers history, assesses current symptoms and evaluates the current medication regimen. He or she synthesizes all the collateral data to formulate a working diagnosis, and then develops and leads treatment planning. In weekly one-on-one psychotherapy sessions, the psychiatrist conducts talk therapy and works with clients to develop an effective medication regime, making changes over the course of treatment as necessary to help clients feel better mentally and physically. The psychiatrist also follows essential lab tests and adjusts medication levels as necessary.
Primary Counselor
Clients have an individual session with their primary counselor each week. Primary counselors combine compassion with evidence-based psychotherapy techniques to help clients reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. The therapeutic work may focus on a range of goals such as building insight, developing healthy skills to manage stress, processing feelings or experiences, exploring identity issues, clarifying goals, strategizing a plan for maintaining sobriety, or experiencing therapeutic interpersonal dynamics. A Primary Counselor provides support and guidance to help clients develop the perspective and skills they need to meet their personal recovery goals. With the client's permission, primary counselors also keep families informed of client progress.
Care Coordinator
Care Coordinators help clients develop a plan for what happens when they discharge from Skyland Trail, including housing, psychiatric care in the community, support groups, social opportunities, and purposeful activity.
Adjunctive Counselors
Our adjunctive therapists in horticulture, art, music, recreation, and social enrichment are caring professionals who are experts in their fields. Adjunctive therapists lead group sessions that help clients find new ways to express their thoughts and emotions, learn new skills, build confidence, and interact with their peers and the community. Whether a client is experienced with artistic expression, exercise and healthy social skills or a client has never felt skilled in these areas, adjunctive therapies meet each client at their starting place and build from there.

Primary Care Clinic Staff
Our full-time primary care nurse practitioner staffs our primary care clinic, supervised by an attending physician. All clients receive an initial physical exam and continue to receive primary care services throughout their treatment.

Nutrition & Life Skills Counselor
Clients meet individually with our licensed dietitian to work toward the wellness goals identified in their recovery plans. The dietician also leads cooking classes and other hands-on group activities to teach healthy living skills.
Learn more >
Vocational Services Counselor
Our vocational services counselors lead group-based training sessions focused on building skills and learning the expectations of employers and volunteer supervisors. Individual sessions with our vocational counselors help clients develop a portfolio, including resume preparation, letter development, online job searches and applications, "dress for success" tips, as well as problem-solving in all phases of seeking and obtaining employment.
Learn more >
Family Psychologist
While the primary counselor is focused on the client, our family psychologist is focused on the family. Family therapy is the opportunity for the family system to make essential adjustments that will help sustain a client's recovery. Working with the family psychologist, the family can start to resolve issues that have become complicated while managing the overwhelming impact of mental illness. Families also find ways to adjust to support every family member's health. Our family therapist also conducts comprehensive psychological assessments for our clients and individuals in the community with referral from a mental health professional.

Residential Services Team
Our residential services team members are critical to helping clients sustain progress toward recovery outside of the treatment setting. They receive training in our therapeutic approaches and ensure that our clients are safe, supported, and are taking their medications as prescribed. They also provide transportation and organize appropriate social experiences and leisure activities onsite and in the community.

Skyland Trail interns are graduate-level students pursuing careers in social work, psychology, nursing, horticultural therapy, art therapy, recreation therapy and related programs. Skyland Trail is also a site for medical students from Emory University to gain experience in psychiatry. Supervised by our staff psychiatrists and counselors, these trainees provide add-on services for our clients including group education or skills-focused sessions and additional adjunctive opportunities.

Day Services Coordinator
The Day Services Coordinator supervises the Recovery Teams, including the Primary Counselors and the Group Therapy schedule for each campus. The Day Services Coordinator also supervises care coordination and discharge planning for clients in intensive services. The Day Services Coordinator sees a small number of clients for individual therapy and operates as a primary counselor with these clients.
Lead Counselor
The Lead Counselor supervises other Primary Counselors within the same recovery team. The Lead Counselor also works with clients in the role of a Primary Counselor providing individual therapy and facilitating a core group.
Vice President of Clinical Services
The VP of Clinical Services works to ensure that all of the components of this complex treatment program work in concert to provide each individual client with a cohesive, individualized recovery experience. The VP of Clinical Services coordinates treatment team meetings and the on-call system to address after hours emergencies, as well as providing administrative oversight for most of the clinical services Skyland Trail provides.
Chief Medical Officer
The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) has ultimate oversight of clinical programming and ensures that the medical/psychiatric staff apply the latest research when making psychiatric treatment decisions.

Growing up in New Jersey comes along with a lot of stereotypes–some are welcomed, some are cringeworthy (though not necessarily false). One that I never have a problem with is the assumption that I am a diner snob. You bet I am. If a diner is not open until at least 2 AM or fails to serve mimosas with brunch, I will probably just mentally block out its existence.
If you have ever tuned in to watch Guy Fieri's Food Network show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives," then you might have caught an episode featuring a Jersey City dining staple known as The Brownstone Diner and Pancake Factory. When I learned this place was within sniffing distance from my home, I started daydreaming of conveyor belts passing pancakes down to me as the widemouth receiver at the end. It didn't quite pan out that way, but a girl can dream.
What I was happy enough to encounter at the Brownstone was a classically fantastic diner that wants you to know they mean business when it comes to their pancakes. The first page of the menu is a large-and-in-charge list of all their pancake styles, including expected combinations such as banana walnut and not-so-expected options, like peanut butter and jelly. Anything you could ever dream of to mix in or top off your pancakes, you will most likely find on this menu.
The next page of the menu is where things get real and the pancake game advances to a whole other level. This page is where you will find the Brownstone's famous pancake wraps: gigantic pancakes stuffed with delicious and rather unexpected ingredients. You can keep with the breakfast theme and get something like the Country Breakfast Pancake Wrap (scrambled eggs, pork sausage, potatoes, and American cheese) or get a little brunch flavor from Guy Fieri's Triple "D" Buffalo Chicken Pancake Wrap (buffalo fried chicken, mozzarella cheese, roasted peppers, and blue cheese).
The Brownstone tacked "Pancake Factory" onto their name for a reason–their pancakes are amazing. Whether you choose to get one of their original wrap creations or keep it basic with a short stack and some eggs, you simply cannot go wrong. And if pancakes aren't your style, this menu is packed with breakfast, lunch, and dinner alternatives.
So when you decide to indulge in some carbohydrate overload at the Brownstone, here are three important things to keep in mind…
1) If you head into this hotspot on a weekend, be prepared to wait, especially if you have a larger party. Turnover is usually pretty quick though.
2) Please do try to refrain from drooling over other people's meals when gazing over the divider between waiting area and dining room (I'm working on it).
3) Stretchy pants.

Test Your Power and Rejuvenate Your Psyche
When Russian design Studio Art Lebedev contacted ThinkGeek to exclusively carry an amazing new product we were pretty stoked. After all Art Lebedev is the developer of the groundbreaking Optimus Maximus keyboard with OLED screens on every key. We expected something high-tech and fantastic... but we were completely unprepared for the simple genius of the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter. It was clear we had a winner on our hands.
The Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter allows anyone to quickly and easily test the working condition of any wall socket. Simply insert the Vilcus into the socket in question... insert two fingers and the use becomes apparent instantly. But this is only scratching the surface of the device's utility. Once we learned that the Vilcus was based on an antique persuasion device used by Soviet-era KGB we put the device to the test with a ThinkGeek contracted market research group and discovered something surprising. After the pain subsided, those that survived reported a feeling of euphoria and well being. Upon further investigation on Wikipedia we realized that the rejuvenating effects of high-voltage electricity are well documented. It was even successfully used to treat insanity during the early 1800's. Obviously Art Lebedev had done it again. We were thoroughly impressed.
So bring the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter with you anywhere you need a quick pick-me-up. The included adapter allows for easy use on US style wall sockets or use the standard plug when traveling to most European countries. Click here to read more about the exciting development and methodology of the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter on the Art Lebedev website.
While we at ThinkGeek are completely convinced of the health benefits of finger contact with high-voltage electricity... not all of our living test subjects for the Vilcus felt the same way. Playing with electrical sockets is damn dangerous and our attorneys don't recommend it. In any case ThinkGeek, Inc. and all of it's myriad subsidiaries are in no way responsible for your stupidity if you stick your fingers in a high-voltage wall socket and harm yourself in any way.

Ellen DeGeneres has introduced Russell Brand to show favourites Rosie McClelland and Sophia Grace Brownlee, in an interview to be screened tonight in the US.
Sophia Grace and Rosie have become Ellen show sensations after appearing on the popular talk show in the US to perform their interpretation of Nicki Minaj song Superbass several months ago.
Since then, they have been treated to several surprises by Ellen, including a trip to Disneyland, the opportunity to be roving reporters at The Grammy Awards and having tea with Taylor Swift.
But perhaps their favourite treat so far was the chance to sit down with fellow Essex native Russell Brand as he took to the Ellen sofa to have a chat with the girls.
Russell asked the girls: 'What's happening in your mind right now, Sophia Grace? Express everything you've ever thought!'
'Pink!' she replied, much to the audience's delight.
Russell had previously expressed a desire to meet the girls on Ellen's show. After his then-wife Katy Perry met the girls on the red carpet, Russell spoke to Ellen about the Essex youngsters, saying: 'Isn't Katy good with children? She was very relaxed with them.
'Them little kids are brilliant. There's the little one that's quiet, who I love and if you spend more time with her, she's probably got something profound to say.
VIDEO: Watch a preview of Russell's interview with the girls here
'But the other one is so like, "Ohmygodohesusigotafreepony!" I've never seen anything like it,' he continued, referring to the outspoken Sophia Grace.
'Like, I know it's wrong, but wouldn't you use sedatives eventually? I really like that little kid.'
He added: 'I'm from where they're from – I'm from Essex. I'm from literally that place. That's what people are like. That's why that's happened. Because of Essex.'
The girls also discussed pink with their idol Nicki Minaj a few weeks ago, when Ellen reunited them with the American singer.
She told them: 'Pink is your colour. Pink is gonna keep you happy for the rest of your life. Pink is gonna give you power, energy, and the girliness that you need. You wear your crown and you're a queen.'

Everything we do requires a choice. We make choices when we wake up, eat food, get dressed, answer the phone — it's all a choice. Although our choices are not always contemplated or obvious, they are choices nonetheless. And if we don't choose our tasks and time deliberately, we can unknowingly allow important things to slip through the cracks.
We often hear people say they wish they had more hours in a day. Well, the experts say that for every one minute you spend planning, you will gain ten in execution. WOW! Over time, those minutes add up. You can do the math. So now the question is – Are we going to take the time to plan, and if so, how do we plan?
Start With the End Result in Mind
Time management is about starting with the end result in mind, and then working backward to achieve our goals. That's really what this is about — setting goals and then figuring out our priorities. If we don't do this, life just seems to happen to us, and years slip past us without any real significant achievements to speak of.

Let's get weird. Toyota just did and we like it. We're used to Toyota's traditional, more conservative designs, and they just unveiled a brand new vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show.
There's a huge movement happening across the U.S. Well, I guess, technically, it's a tiny movement. Tiny homes are popping up everywhere! Earlier this year, many tiny homes were built in St. Paul to prove the movement works so that more Minnesotans might join this movement.
Toyota probably wasn't very pleased when its hybrid lost its place in the top consumer reports list. The new 2017 Toyota Highlander, however, has bumped it back up to the top.

Tantek Celik wrote: > > I am happy to announce the availability (as of a few days ago) of a new > working draft published by the W3C CSS working group: "CSS3 module: Color". > > http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color > First let me commend you on removing the hugely complicated list of colours from the previous version of this specification. The previous draft defined 210 system colours, but failed to allow one to determine how to style such simple elements as a scrollbar, checkbox, radio button or slider in a way that integrates with the feel of the platform[*]. Despite the inadequacy of the short list of colours in CSS2, vastly increasing the number of colours listed is not a viable solution. With the public unveiling of Windows XP, and the existing demands of the Macintosh and Linux look and feels, its clear that no simple list of colours can accurately reflect even the default look of any of the major platforms; much less what they may look like when customised by the user (themed). Clearly, if CSS is to be able to describe the richness inherent in these looks, it needs a far more powerful mechanism. Therefore its good this list has been frozen - even better if it were explicitly deprecated. I find it a shame that the X11 colour table was included. Though I acknowledge one of the things CSS attempts to do is codify current working practice, I find myself at a loss to discover why this arbitrary colour list actually adds anything of value. The names have little meaning even to native English speakers. These colours are also rather unlikely to render correctly on 16bpp displays. The specification begins by stating it may be judged as appropriate only for 32bpp devices, but this seems to be disingenuous. Clearly it can be useful on much less capable devices, if care is taken to avoid including things that mandate 32 bit colour. So currently the module has: * an arbitrary list of 16 basic colours from HTML - i.e. the Windows ones * an arbitrary list of system colours - i.e. the Windows ones * an arbitrary list of contrarily named colours - i.e. the X11 ones. To this is added flavour, chosen by the user and then somewhat fancifully described as defaulting to the colour of the physical box the user agent runs on. How are most user agent implementors meant to determine this? (given most UAs run on personal computers, not embedded) Ask the user what colour his or her iMac is? What if its Blue Dalmatian? Sarcasm is really out of place here, but again, I find adding one colour for flavour to the list to be inadequate. Mac OS 9 defines a central "flavour" colour and 6 variant shades. Having the central colour available has some utility, but it is of very limited value without knowing the other 6. What is "flavour" on Aqua or Windows XP? One particular shade of blue is clearly inadequate as an attempt to describe the richness of these looks and feels. Even Windows 98 allows 2 dominant theme or "flavour" colours on screen - one for each end of the titlebar. There is much useful information in this module. Opacity, gamma, colour profiles... Mixing in documentation on today's inadequate support for "User Color Preferences" seems of limited value. If CSS is to address look and feel integration, then the working group would better serve the community by waiting until a module which describes how to do this appropriately is complete. Much good work is being done in this area by group members. Codifying more bad practice into the CSS3 standard - even as a stop gap - serves noone in the long run; once in the standard it will be very difficult to remove. I would recommend removing the X11 colours (as irrelevant) and deprecating the system colours (as they are not widely implemented or used, so impact is minimal). AndyT (lordpixel) [*] I admit, my bias is towards general styling of user interface using CSS, rather than styling documents. I'd also comment that the system colours as they stand are similarly biased, including colours for window titlebars and other UI widgets.Received on Monday, 12 March 2001 01:07:48 UTC

John Roach is an accomplished screen writer (The Straight Story) and well read columnist at Neil Heinen's Madison magazine. He once supported Kaleem Caire's Madison Prep charter school but since then has given a season pass to the Madison Leftists who brought it down.
Mr. Roach upbraids Your Humble Squire with this withering volley:
"Why don't you spend more time bringing sanity to your party and less time kicking the Dems while they're down? That conduct is beneath you. Take on a serious task. Bring down Trump. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Golly, Beaver, can't we just be acquaintances?
Mr. Roach was probably hollering at the Fox telecast Sunday in the third quarter, damning the Falcons for running up the score. Quit kicking the Pats while they're down, Wally.
I'd like to bring more sanity to the party, Mr. R., I really would. But we're going to go a little socialist here, if only for the shock value. From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. We've got some extra sanity here in the Stately Manor storeroom we're willing to donate to our liberal-progressive-socialist acquaintances.
Or have you forgotten the marching vaginas, the injured police officers on Inaugural Day, the riots shutting down conservative speech at UC-Berkeley, Madonna fantasizing bombing the White House, the busted storefront windows? Now THERE is your Kristallnacht.
Gotta say it, Mr. Roach: The idea that — standing shoulder to shoulder — any of us is going to "Bring Down Trump" is (cough) insane.
I know, let's Occupy the Capitol!
William McGurn in the Wall Street Journal:
As with so much of the Sturm und Drang surrounding Mr. Trump, the point here is not to advance an anti-Trump argument but to preclude argument altogether. After all, does one argue with Hitler?
Trump is, of course, the gift that the gods have bestwowed on the left-wing press," Essayist Joseph Epstein adds.
Trump allows editors of The Nation and New Republic the frisson of imagining they are living in Germany in 1933. — "At the Trump trauma center …"
Alinsky disciples are now encouraging massive and unyielding resistance to every act, every nominee, every Trump pronouncement. Their model is the Wisconsin Capitol Occupation five years ago — and the subsequent spate of recall elections — in reaction to the Walker Republicans' Act 10 public sector union reform.
"Just one problem," McGurn reminds. "It didn't work."
Just as the Wisconsin intifada made more Republican voters, the marching pussies are making more Trump voters.
The excesses of the Left — the free birth control, men in women's bathrooms, blaming the cops for urban crime, sneering at the Deplorables, mocking their guns and religion, demanding respect for "The Problem of Whiteness," identity grievancde politics — the Left created Donald Trump.
Like this voter: "I am weary of lectures about what values I should have and how insensitive I am," one of those Deplorables wrote for the Chicago Tribune.

2017 New Jersey Revised Statutes
Section 4:19-4 - Use of tax collections to pay claims; handling of fund
4:19-4. Use of tax collections to pay claims; handling of fund
The sums of money collected from the tax imposed by virtue of this article shall be appropriated in the annual budget and the taxing ordinance of the taxing district to make good any loss which may be sustained by any person by the destruction or wounding of his sheep, lambs, domestic animals or poultry, except dogs and cats, within the taxing district where the tax is collected and shall be kept as a separate fund for that purpose by the officer having charge of the general funds of the taxing district. The appropriation shall be made by adding to the budget substantially the following words: "Anticipated revenue from tax on dogs, $ , to be used for payment of claims for damages by dogs to sheep, lambs, domestic animals or poultry."
Claims for damages shall be presented to the governing body as provided in section 4:19-5 of this title, and shall be paid in the order in which they are presented and approved if there is sufficient money in the fund for that purpose.
If there is not sufficient money on hand in the fund, the claims, as and when approved, shall be held and paid as soon as the collections from the tax will permit. If the collections from the tax in any year are not sufficient to pay all the claims presented and approved, there shall be assessed and collected in the following year a tax in addition to the annual tax provided in this article, which shall be sufficient to pay such claims.
Any balance in the fund after all claims for the year which have been presented and approved have been paid, shall be transferred to a special account to be kept separate and apart from any of the other accounts of the municipality. Whenever the fund at the close of any fiscal year of the municipality shall equal the amount received by it from such dog tax for the then next preceding three years, then the surplus over and above such amount shall be paid over by the officer having charge of the general funds of the taxing district to the surplus revenue account of the municipality at the close of the year in which the surplus arises, and the tax provided for in this article need not be assessed for the ensuing fiscal year, or thereafter until the net amount of the special fund has been reduced from such stated amount by the payment of claims presented and approved.
The use of general funds of the municipality to pay claims for damages, or the use of the moneys collected from such dog tax in any other manner than as provided in this article, shall be a misdemeanor.

Water pools into puddles here and there in a landscape covered with decaying leaves and peppered with bare trees. The earth sinks with each step in this seldom-trod swamp near a park in the Wicomico County hamlet of Bivalve.
Although this mucky spot lies just a few dozen yards from the Nanticoke River and is undeniably damp, it used to rest outside the jurisdiction of America's nearly 50-year-old clean water rule. That's because the area remains unconnected to the river and only brims with standing water at certain times of the year.
Some environmental advocates fear that rolling back the law could weaken efforts to restore the Chesapeake Bay. If the federal government can't protect headwaters of its tributaries from harm, then waters farther downstream, including the bay itself, will suffer, said Jay Ford, executive director of the Virginia's Eastern Shorekeeper.

Buy New Furniture The Easiest Way By Utilizing These GuidelinesIt may be daunting setting to go furniture shopping. There are plenty of variations in price and quality that it could be difficult to know where to begin. It really is useful to keep a few guidelines in your mind so you make smart choices. Here are a few helpful tools to really make it a little easier.To discover family friendly sofas and chairs search for fabrics that are stain resistant. This could include leather or cloth sofas and chairs addressed with a stain protectant. By choosing family friendly furniture, you are able to help to keep your furniture looking just like your day you purchased it with minimal effort.If you discover a bit of furniture that you want, inquire if your furniture store offers price matching. This really is a terrific way to help you save money while enabling you to remain faithful for your local furniture store. This can maintain your business in your town which will help grow local businesses.Really think regarding your lifestyle before purchasing any kind of furniture. If you've got small children having a hyperactive streak or perhaps a dog having a big floppy tail, then the delicate piece that's easily tipped over probably isn't right for your house. Let your circumstances help determine the thing you need.Consider where you will place a bit of furniture that you will be searching for. When it is going near a heating unit or perhaps a vent of some sort, then wood furniture is not a great choice. Dry heat means wood will probably dry up and shrink with time, which leaves cracks. If you need to, compensate having a humidifier in drier months. You will want moisture degree of about forty percent.Based on what types of pets you might have, consider leather furniture.

Spada to Partner Oliver's Mount Racing for 2016
British motorcycle clothing brand Spada has announced a second year of partnership with the 2016 Oliver's Mount series.Feridax brand Spada continues another year of big sports sponsorship with Oliver's Mount Partnership. The deal was re-signed in early 2016 and sees the Spada brand yet again as circuit partner at all of the 2016 events
Spada will be offering special discounts to racers competing at the event as well as competitions at every round including chances to meet 2015 Gold Cup Winner and Spada Ambassador Dean Harrison.
Mark Ingleby, Head of Spada said:
"It's a track where there's a lot of passion for the sport from both organisers and spectators alike that attend. It also gives Spada a great opportunity to be working in partnership in a growing British road racing event - which will hopefully bring more people into the sport."
Oliver's Mount road race circuit is England's only natural 'road' race track and is one with a long history dating back to 1946 - as such it was a perfect match for home-grown Halesowen Based Spada Brand.
With a similar history, and a shared passion for all things motorcycle, it was a partnership that was bound to happen - especially as newly appointed Oliver's Mount Marketing Director, and local boy Scott Beaumont lives just five minutes away from the Spada Headquarters in Halesowen. Beaumont was also sponsored by sister Feridax brand Shoei back in the early 90s when starting his mountain biking career.
Scott Beaumont, Marketing Director Oliver's Mount said:
"When choosing partners for Oliver's Mount we were looking for companies who were passionate about road racing. We are very excited to continue our circuit partnership with Spada in 2016 as they share our vision for this incredible sport."
Spada's own Dean Harrison, a rider with an already impressive track record, is expected to grab another big win this year. Dean has been closely involved with the Spada brand for the past two seasons and is now also working as part of the recently launched 'Spada Test Crew'. This means Dean not only wears but thoroughly tests the products - feeding back invaluable technical consultation to the Spada design team.
Working with experienced professional road racers like Dean helps Spada to create comfortable, functional and stylish race wear that performs to the highest standards.

- Rhinebeck is "quaintly antique." Everything is secret, even to the guests, who won't receive directions until the day prior (USA Today).

- Rhinebeck is teeming with media crews (Poughkeepsie Journal).
Too bad Chelsea didn't choose Pougheepsie, just down the river. It's not that uncommon for weddings to take place on the Vassar campus, although we've never seen one. It turns out that Vassar has an official "wedding policy" through Campus Activities:
"Vassar College students, alumnae/i, employees, and immediate family of those groups may get married on campus.
Alumnae House has its own set of regulations, and couples not qualifying to be married on campus may call the Alumnae House for further information."
A wedding at Vassar made headlines in The New York Times back in 1895. That is, a "farcical reenactment" of the wedding between the Duke of Marlborough and Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, performed by the Strong house residents. According to the Times archives:
"The seniors rigged themselves up in bloomers and powdered tresses and came to represent the nobility."
We wonder if the nobility at Chelsea's wedding will be quite as classy.
Update: Gawker just posted pictures of the Astor estate where the wedding will take place.

Arizona Cardinals' Kevin Kolb Says He's Fine, Ready to Face Buffalo Bills
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - When last seen by most of the country, Kevin Kolb was probably on his backside, absorbing multiple hits in the Arizona offense's worst performance of the season.
Kolb pronounced himself fine on Wednesday, fully recovered from the punishment he endured in that 17-3 Thursday night loss at St. Louis, Arizona's first defeat of the season.
Things don't look all that better for the offense, either, with running back Ryan Williams out for the season with a shoulder injury. Williams' absence and the struggles of the offensive line leave Kolb in a precarious position.
At least the Cardinals are at home Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, who have allowed more than 1,200 yards the last two games.

From A.Y. and family
One of the fortunate and blessed days of my life was when I decided to have the breast reduction surgery and visited the welcoming and comfortable office of Dr. Moye.
My surgery and a recovery period went very well with no complications.The ambulatory surgery center was gorgeous. I am more than pleased with the result of the surgery, which exceeded all my expectations.
Dr. Moye is a wonderful, very gifted, dedicated and caring surgeon.His staff is extremely friendly and is always ready to help with any problems or questions. Thank you, Dr. Moye, for your exceptional job you have done to me! Thank you: Ms. Vickie, Ms. Ann , Ms. Cathy, Ms. Sue , Ms. Lana and Mr. Durham for all your great help!
From Y.J. and family
Albany Regional Plastic Surgery is the BEST! I went to Dr. Moye for a consultation and discussion of having breast reconstruction. At a time when I was confused and scared, Dr. Moye and his staff made me feel informed and hopeful. After undergoing breast reconstruction at Albany Regional Plastic Surgery, I must say that I have been very pleased with my results and the entire surgery experience was better that I could have imagined. It was really good to have the surgery and recovery in his onsite facility, which reduced a lot of anxiety. Albany Regional Plastic Surgery, "Thank You" for taking such great care of me……
From M.K.
When I arrived at Dr. Moye's office, I really had no idea what to expect. I was immediately reassured by the relaxing atmosphere of the waiting room. The ambience was posh. When I met the staff, I felt as though I had known them for years. Their motto is "service." I suspect that this philosophy starts with Dr. Moye and flows into all of the staff. I began to enjoy my visits to his office very much. He and his staff instilled hope for a better tomorrow. They all understood my journey with breast cancer that brought me there, and became my cheerleaders. I got much more than surgery from the experience! I got renewal of the spirit, and love. Perhaps the breast cancer was a blessing, for it brought Dr. Moye and his staff into my life.
From A.G.
I am an RN who needed a browlift/ eyelid reduction. After researching many doctors for the procedure, I chose Dr. Moye. He stood above the others. I am glad I did. The results were worth it.
From P.M.
Dr. Moye and staff are wonderful and I am already planning my next surgery.
From L.M.
I really enjoyed the privacy of the ambulatory surgery center.
From E.W.
I enjoyed the surgical center experience and the wonderful, comfortable and personal attention given by Dr. Moye and his staff.
From F.S.
My experience with Dr. Moye and his staff was wonderful. My surgery went great without any complications. I went to Dr. Moye to inquire about a tummy tuck, because my self-confidence about my appearance due to my sagging tummy was low. I am no longer ashamed of my body, now I feel like I can wear anything I want and feel confident doing so. I am looking forward to more enhancements, since my experience was successful in what I wanted to obtain.

You have the most divine taste in shoes ... truly honestly - I'm yet to see you wear a pair that doesn't make me lean in closer to the screen and think to myself ... now those I could definitely wear.ReplyDelete
I am feeling the same way! I've been enjoying the warm weather and not feeling a real need to shop! Shocking!ReplyDelete

The Mompos dress feels very "you." I hope it makes it to sale! And btw, I tried on that striped tank. It was adorable! I needed one size smaller (which wasn't in stock), which is the only think that stopped me from marching right to the register.ReplyDelete

From International Falls, Minnesota, USA:
I am looking for information on why there may be a seasonal onset (fall-winter) with juvenile onset diabetes. I am an insulin dependent diabetic myself, and the question came up in an Anatomy and Physiology class I am taking.
We don't really know but the speculation (with supporting evidence) is that a group of people, on the brink of diabetes, are finally pushed into it by the seasonal upsurge in viral infections.

(AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall) (Newser) – If anyone is still confused about where GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann stands on gays, Gawker has discovered a quote that should settle the matter. "We need to have profound compassion for the people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life, and sexual identity disorders," Bachmann said in a 2004 speech. "It's not funny, it's sad. It's part of Satan, I think, to say this is gay. It's anything but gay." She adds later in the speech: "If you're involved in the gay and lesbian lifestyle, it's bondage. Personal bondage, personal despair, and personal enslavement. And that's why this is so dangerous." Bachmann can't seem to skirt the topic in recent days: There's been much press about the fact that she signed a pledge written by a Christian group characterizing marriage only as the union between man and one woman. Husband Marcus has come under fire recently for his Medicaid-funded Christian counseling clinic, where one former patient says he was urged to "pray away gay" and stop being a sinner.

My life is so good right now. Socially good, I mean. Damn near socially perfect. I'm rarely home, I feel very close and connected to my friends at this moment. There is so much positive and sympathetic energy in my life right now. Everything feels just right.
So that's why I just can't believe I let one negative person drag me down with them. How one person can convince me so fully of something so detrimental is just… beyond me. But I suppose I already had this negative thought in my head and this person just helped to reinforce it. I can't blame someone else for my own negative thinking. I should have complete emotional control at all times.
I felt like writing about this situation earlier. Now I'm just so fed up with it I don't think I can stand it anymore.
March has never felt so long.
There are so many great things going on in my life right now that I can just breathe this deep sigh of relief because I feel comfortable eliminating this negative energy.
Guess that's all I'll say for now.

DOWNEY - On Tuesday afternoon, SEAACA received a wonderful gift from Shawn M. Goodner, a 7 year old boy who collected donations of blankets, sheets, and towels.Goodner, a first grader at Downey Christian School, began this project last year to help support the animal shelter in Downey. His dream of becoming a veterinarian is what triggered him into starting this project. With the great support of his grandparents, friends, neighbors, and school, he managed to collect over 15 bags of donations. Goodner amazed Aaron Reyes, the Director of Operations at SEAACA, by putting together such a meaningful donation for their animals all on his own. "The blankets, comforters, and towels are very useful because they go to the injured, sick, and nursing mothers," said Vicky Hernandez, the Adoption Manager at SEAACA. "Donations are great because we go through so many blankets and towels and it's what keeps us going." At SEAACA, Goodner was able to see how his donations would be used for the animals and he was able to witness actual veterinarians doing their jobs. He was also given the opportunity to walk a dog and learn more about the needs and how to care for animals. Goodner's grandmother, Mary Hauk, has been a tremendous support for Goodner and his project. By always being his constant companion, she helped guide Goodner in setting this project up. She believes that this is a great opportunity for him because it will teach him the virtue of giving and sharing. "I'm astonished that such a young boy would think of all this… he really has potential to come up with bigger projects, said Hernandez. "If he can comprehend such a big project at seven, just imagine what he can do in just five years… he's going to just excel." SEAACA was grateful for all the donations they received. They are always willing to accept any donations that would help them out such as blankets, comforters, towels, newspapers, toys, and kitty litter.

Isn't it funny how the day after Thanksgiving can be just as ritualized as T-day itself?
Whether you have to work or not, everyone does leftovers the day after. I took the leftover un-mashed potatoes and made home fries for breakfast.
And that was the extent of our leftovers cooking. The rest of the food was just eaten up as sandwiches.
The other ritual is Black Friday shopping. I am stuck in a mountain resort town with no big stores in sight. I went into just about every store in town (like 10 stores) and their idea of Black Friday was 10% off. I'm not exxagerating! I only bought a skein of yarn, and it was not even in sale at all.
If you are opening your store, at least give me that stupid 10% off. I was stuck with online shopping which is annoying to so with only a phone/tablet. I bought a Kate Spade bag from the "surprise sale". Then I had the free Groupon bucks so I used it to buy Pro Compression calf sleeves. And that was it. I wanted to buy an external hard drive but I didn't have the energy to comparison shop using my phone or kindle. I might regret that later when I need that hard drive.
Did you make anything good with your leftovers? Did you get a good deal on Black Friday?

I've been slowly injecting the color red into our downstairs. It just started coming in organically. First, it showed up in a picture above the bar, and then we noticed my plates and bowls were red, and then finally Ryli decided to paint her bedroom red.
Why is it so much easier to pull color from food images? Or is that just my inner hungry girl justifying looking at pictures of donuts and cakes in the morning? I found this picture on pinterest with led me to its recipe on Heather Cristo Cooks. Maybe I'm just hoping that one day I'll actually attempt some of the recipes that I've pinned and blogged about. Last night I attempted to make one recipe I found on pinterest, it happened to be a DIY version of Frosty Paws ice cream. Wouldn't you know, I didn't have one of the ingredients. So it's sitting uncompleted in my refrigerator to be completed tonight.
Writers block. Not total writers block, just writers block for this one post. Which is crazy because I really enjoy rounding things up from around the web for you all, so try as I might I couldn't think of a decent theme for this post. I try to keep certain posts on certain days, Monday - Color Wheel, Tuesday - Furniture Terms, Wednesday - open for random, Thursday - DIY's and the like, Friday - Roundups, and Saturday - Weekly Deals. I don't always adhere perfectly to the schedule, and this week's Pinterest Challenge certainly threw off my schedule, but I try to keep it consistent. So, as Friday kept ticking closer and closer, I still hadn't started working on today's post (real time update it's now 10:17 am on Friday), then it came to me, clocks! Yep today's round up is all about time and clocks.

I love Coca-cola and have worked on their business in Asia. It's one of my favourite drinks and yet like McDonalds it's a brand I've tried to persuade of their potential for doing more good in the world than just sugared water/fast food. Their distribution in some cases is better than the United Nations world health organisation (WHO). It's a no brainer when selling the vitamins in sugared juice to suggest that instead of shouting about giving vitamins to healthy Hong Kong and Chinese kids who don't really need it, that instead Coca-cola could own the idea of distributing those vitamins to much more needy and remote places where Coca-cola merchandising makes it but essentials don't.
However I think the days of grasping great opportunities like that are over as we increasingly see that one after another the closely guarded secrets of 20th century material capitalism emerge into the daylight. Case in point is Coco-cola's secret recipe which may have just gone open source. A point not without irony when when noting the radio show it occurred on. This American life.
In case you're wondering about the above graphic, I have mentioned before that Coca-cola won where the U.S. marines failed in Vietnam. If that's still obscure for the younger ones out there here's the original seminal Chief of Police Nguyen Ngoc Loan execution picture. Another U.S. ideological warfare casualty.

The picture above shows a massive squatters clearing operation undertaken in 1987 . The main road to the right is called the Main Bazaar Road and at that point of time acted as a two-way street. There were many old wooden shophouses along the Main Bazaar road then. The river to the left is the Kemena River going towards the sea in the horizon which is seen at the top of the picture.
A row of concrete shophouses has replaced the old wooden ones. The two-way street has given way to a one-way street. The vacant space left after the demolition of squatters resettlement has made way for a fully tiled esplanade ( Bintulu Esplanade) and a main market structure with roof resembling the local Melanau sun hat called 'Terendak'. This main market is now called 'Pasar Utama' which houses a vegetable and fish market at the ground floor and eating and drinking stalls at the first floor.
Earth filling and levelling works done after the squatters settlement was cleared.
The Chinese temple or Tua Pek Kong as seen today after receiving extensive renovations.
The new concrete shophouses around the temple has provided a facelift to the town making it look more modern.

South Africa's land registration system is a comprehensive one, whereby, once a buyer takes transfer and the property purchase registered in their name, they have a real right to that property.
It is vital, however, to understand the terms and conditions of an Offer to Purchase or Agreement of Sale for property. All the essential matters regarding the Agreement of Sale are normally set out in one document and it must be clear that both parties have reached agreement on all matters.
But is it that simple?
The offer made by the purchaser and acceptance by the seller mostly takes place at different times. Once the estate agent has presented the offer to the seller, it is open for acceptance by the seller and it cannot be withdrawn by the purchaser, if made irrevocably. The offer is open for acceptance until the time for expiry, as stated in the offer, has elapsed or until the seller rejects the offer. If the offer expires or the seller rejects it, the purchaser can no longer be bound by that offer. Perhaps it is stating the obvious, but a prospective purchaser must not submit a second offer for another property whilst their offer on the first property is still open for acceptance, unless they intend to purchase more than one property. If the seller accepts the offer, subject to a suspensive condition, there is still no binding contract, until the suspensive condition is met.
An offer will usually contain at least one suspensive condition i.e. be subject to the raising of a bond by the purchaser or be subject to the sale of the purchaser's current home or both. Suspensive conditions are very common in residential property contracts and they simply mean that the implementation of the contract is suspended until the occurrence of a future event.
It is important to ensure that a suspensive condition is properly drafted by your estate agent. It must be clear, concise and, most importantly, stipulate a cut-off date. Ensure that the timing aspects are carefully considered, for example, if it is subject to the sale of the purchaser's property, ensure that the details of that property are recorded in the contract and the consequent effect on the transfer date of the new property being purchased is taken into account .
Also, where there is more than one suspensive condition, it is best to deal with each one separately, as this will avoid confusion. If there are costs involved, state who is responsible for the costs and consider all the consequences of the condition. If in doubt or the suspensive condition deals with an unusual matter such as a specialist's report on the property, engage the services of a conveyancing attorney. The wording must be right the first time as there no second chances.
If the suspensive condition relates to the approval of a bond within a stated time period, the timeous approval of the bond means that the suspensive condition is fulfilled. If, however, the suspensive condition is not fulfilled by the date set down in the contract, then there is no binding contract on the parties i.e. the agreement becomes null and void. Once all suspensive conditions are fulfilled, the agreement becomes a binding contract on the parties and the process of registering the purchase at the Deeds Office can commence with earnest.
It is worth repeating that it is critical that both purchaser and seller understand the fine print of the terms and conditions of an Agreement of Sale before picking up their black pen.

Jeanne Kahindo shelters 12 displaced people in addition to her own family in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Global recession, deep-seated poverty and increased food prices throughout the region are exacerbating already high malnutrition rates.
Critical Issues for Children and Women
In addition to the countries in West and Central Africa that appear separately in the Humanitarian Action Report 20101 hereafter, additional funds are also requested within the region to address smaller-scale emergencies or post-conflict transitions in Benin, Cameroon, Congo, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali and Togo. The current global financial crisis coupled with higher food prices, seasonal shortages of crops and reduced demand for raw materials are exacerbating acute malnutrition rates and jeopardizing any gains in human development in the region, especially among the poorest and most vulnerable people. Further, a number of countries in West Africa countries are increasingly facing challenges posed by climatic hazards, in particular flooding. With flooding comes outbreaks of infectious diseases such as cholera, measles, meningitis and polio, to which children are extremely susceptible without immunization or sufficient safe water, sanitation and hygiene. In other areas, drought is pushing up the number of army worms (a pest that can wreak havoc in crops) and locust infestations, contributing to food shortages and consequently widespread undernutrition.
Planned Humanitarian Action for 2010
While the impacts of the global food and financial crisis are expected to increase overall levels of malnutrition in the region, the UNICEF Regional Office is also planning for a growing number of displaced people and refugees as a result of an expected increase in drought, flooding and other climate shocks throughout 2010. UNICEF will partner with governments, United Nations agencies, NGOs and academic or technical institutions for the prevention of disease outbreaks and acute malnutrition among children through technical support for UNICEF's cluster leadership accountabilities, emergency preparedness and emergency response capacity-building and logistics and stockpiling of essential items. Following are the expected results of UNICEF's emergency interventions.
Health and Nutrition: Preparedness for meningitis epidemics is vital for the region to avoid the occurrence of a large outbreak and its spreading to other countries. Due to the recurrence of this disease every year, the establishment of vaccine stocks and antibiotics are essential. Further, a mobilization strategy combining prevention and treatment implemented in the months before the hunger season will help to address the seasonal peak of acute malnutrition in the region. Health and nutrition interventions will be prioritized in Cameroon, Congo, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Mali.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): The Regional Office will continue to concentrate on cholera risk reduction and integrating WASH interventions into nutritional emergency responses. The UNICEF-led WASH Cluster will also ensure a quick and coordinated response to rapid onset emergencies with a specific focus on cholera outbreak control. Benin, Congo, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Mali will include WASH activities as part of their emergency programme.
Education: All 24 countries in West and Central Africa with UNICEF offices will benefit from participating in training programmes for frontline emergency responders and government education officials, as devised jointly by UNICEF, Save the Children and other partners. Country offices will also receive support for education in emergencies preparedness and response strategy development, while documentation and evaluations will provide model formats and resources for replication and adaptation within and outside the region. Additional emergency education activities will be undertaken in Cameroon, Congo, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Mali.
Child Protection: UNICEF will strengthen the effectiveness of child protection mechanisms in protracted emergencies, post-conflict transition periods and emergency preparedness and response through improved coordination of Child Protection sub-clusters. Support will also be provided for the training of armed forces in child protection (in collaboration with Save the Children), follow-up of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1612 and 1882, and for cross-border meetings regarding gender-based violence. Additional activities will be undertaken in Cameroon, Congo, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau and Liberia.
HIV/AIDS: In Cameroon, UNICEF will collect information on HIV/AIDS-related risks among refugees and will provide HIV prevention information and treatment to youth and pregnant women, where needed. Training in responding to gender-based violence in emergencies will also be provided for health centre staff and community volunteers. In Guinea-Bissau, UNICEF's efforts will support expansion of voluntary HIV testing, counselling and Preventing Mother-to-Child Transmission services and peer education of adolescents and young people. In Mali, UNICEF will work to improve HIV services for those affected by emergencies, especially vulnerable adolescents and pregnant women, to include Preventing Mother-to-child Transmission programmes, care and treatment for those living with HIV and counselling and testing services for survivors of sexual violence. In terms of prevention, the focus will be on adolescents, as the primary targets of mass media HIV prevention campaigns.
Emergency Preparedness and Response: UNICEF country offices in the region undertaking contingency planning will have improved emergency preparedness and response mechanisms through the development of a regional surge capacity for rapid deployment of experienced emergency staff and a Regional Emergency Rapid Response Fund for the initial emergency response phase and planning. Additionally, UNICEF will provide support for strengthening national emergency preparedness and response capacities through UNICEF-led inter-agency emergency simulation exercises at the country level. UNICEF will also enhance response capacity in the Central Africa sub-region, particularly emergency operations in Cameroon, Central African Republic and Chad with a supply hub for essential stocks, and will provide substantial technical assistance to the supply and logistics needs of country offices. Additional preparedness and response activities will be implemented in Benin, Burkina Faso and Togo.

The Spice Room at Circular Quay will impress – the decor and feel to the resto is smartly appealing in a deliberately curated and finished space. Food was well priced for this end of town. They also open earlier for dinner and is a popular pre show dinner destination. There's also a tiered tiffin (think metal thins, that stack up) options for lunch. Us, we just loved the Peshawari style cooking here.

For every souvenir shop selling kangaroo magnets at Circular Quay, there's a host of chefs delivering some of Australia's best produce at our finest restaurants. From Matt Moran's ARIA and Ross Lusted's The Bridge Room to Peter Gilmore's Quay and newcomer The Spice Room, this tourist mecca is an equally attractive foodie destination.
For some reason Indian restaurants have a certain sameness in Sydney, few beyond The Spice Room have broken out of the mould.

I've had this wood box in my stash forever and finally decided to make a little treat holder for Easter. I painted the box with green acrylic paint and then wrapped it with a piece of dp - I thought the carrots would be perfect with this cute bunny from Your Next Stamp's Sprinkles - Egg-stra Awesome! stamp set. I colored the bunny with copics and then cut it out using the coordinating die set. I cut out the tag using the Winter Fun Tag Die and tied it to the treat box with some baker's twine. The smiley-face sun was made using the Rainbows and Happiness stamp and Rainbow Fun Die set.
Thank you so much for stopping by!

Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are licensed health care practitioners committed to restoring and maintaining pain-free function of your body. Massage therapy is a one-on-one, hands-on approach to health care. Regular massage therapy can assist in relieving stress, pain and muscle tension associated with various musculoskeletal or neurological conditions, including:
- Headaches due to muscle tension or poor posture
- Post-MVA whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders
- General muscle tension related to sedentary work postures
- Sport- or trauma-related injuries
- Sciatica and low back pain
Massage therapy can also be utilized as a core component of high-performance athletic training and rehabilitation programs, or for overall relaxation and stress relief. Treatment by a Registered Massage Therapist is typically covered under most extended health care plans.
At Total Therapy Burnaby, Metrotown and North Vancouver, our Registered Massage Therapists take the time to talk to you about your health history and current physical condition before deciding on a course of treatment. Our Registered Massage Therapists utilize a variety of techniques such as Swedish massage, myofascial release, joint mobilizations, therapeutic exercise, and dynamic stretching to help treat the cause of your problem, not just the symptoms. We're here to help you achieve your health goals so you can live your life to its fullest.
On your first visit to Total Therapy, you will be asked to fill out our New Client Intake Form. Please arrive ten minutes before your scheduled appointment time to allow yourself sufficient time to complete this form. If you are unsure whether massage therapy would be beneficial to you, please consult with your current health care provider or give us a call and ask to speak with one of our Registered Massage Therapists.Book An Appointment
What is a massage therapy appointment like at Total Therapy?
At Total Therapy, your registered massage therapist takes the time to make sure that their treatment is tailored to meet your personal health goals. During your initial interview, your massage therapist will ask you questions about your current and past health history, activities, and work demands to develop an effective treatment plan. Good communication is an important part of this process. After the initial interview, your massage therapist will instruct you on how to position yourself on the table, and then will leave the room to provide you with privacy to get undressed to a level with which you are comfortable. Each room at our North Burnaby, Metrotown, and North Vancouver locations is fully private, with ergonomically-designed padded, heated tables, and is prepared with fresh linens prior to your arrival. Once you are positioned comfortably under the sheets, your massage therapist will re-enter the room. During the session, your massage therapist will maintain an open dialogue with you to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the session, and that the treatment provided meets your needs. As a part of your session, your massage therapist may also include instruction on exercises or stretches to perform at home to maximize the treatment's effectiveness. For your initial appointment, we recommend 60 minutes to allow for adequate treatment time
What should I expect afterward?
After your session, you will likely feel a sense of relaxation and relief, and a decrease in muscle tension/aches. In some cases, you may temporarily feel a mild sense of fatigue. Others report feeling energized. Your massage therapist may recommend follow-up home care like fluids, heat or cold, or stretches/exercises to maximize the treatment effect. If you are still feeling pain or discomfort, it is important to stick to the treatment plan your massage therapist recommended as sometimes more than one treatment is necessary for a desired result.
Is it safe to combine massage therapy with other types of treatments?
Massage therapy can be an effective complement to different therapies (e.g. physiotherapy, chiropractic, active rehabilitation), and can enhance or extend the therapeutic effects of other treatments. However, in some cases it may be more appropriate to have certain types of treatment sessions precede others (e.g. massage therapy prior to chiropractic treatment, or active rehabilitation prior to massage therapy). Keep an open dialogue with your therapists if you are thinking about pursuing a multidisciplinary treatment plan. At Total Therapy, we work hard to deliver services as a team, and you're an important part of it.
I'm pregnant. How can massage therapy benefit me?
Massage is a wonderful way to relax, relieve pain and discomfort, and help you cope with stress and fatigue during pregnancy. During pregnancy, your body undergoes several changes, including weight gain and postural shifts. This results in extra pressure on your joints and more strain on your muscles. Massage helps relieve muscle and joint discomfort associated with these changes. Massage therapy is also a natural therapeutic option for the management of certain chronic conditions and prevention of illness. Regularly scheduled massage treatments are particularly essential since many medications that are considered relatively safe to control symptoms and discomfort (such as pain killers, anti-inflammatories, laxatives, sleeping pills) are not recommended (or desirable) to take during pregnancy. Talk with your therapist to determine what treatment plan is appropriate for you.
Are there any situations in which massage therapy would not be appropriate for me?
Yes. That's why it's imperative that you complete your health history questionnaire in detail and go through an assessment with your massage therapist prior to treatment. It is very important that you inform your massage therapist of any health problems you have had or are currently dealing with, or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it may help the massage therapist to have a referral from your doctor to describe your medical condition or recommend care. This way, your massage therapist will be able to work with your doctor to treat you more effectively.
Does my insurance cover the cost of massage?
Many insurance plans provide excellent coverage for massage therapy by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). At Total Therapy, we kindly request that you pay for your visit up front. We will provide you with a detailed receipt that you can then submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please call us for more information on MSP as well as ICBC claim coverage.
Should I tip?
Our massage therapists are health professionals (licensed under the Health Practitioners Act-the same law that governs physicians, dentists, etc.) and tipping is not expected or necessary. Your return visits are the best reward and your referral is always most appreciated.
Who does the massage at the Total Therapy?
At Total Therapy, your massage will be given by a Massage Therapist registered in British Columbia. The BC licensing program for registered massage therapy is one of the most respected programs in the world. Applicants must graduate from an accredited program and pass a provincial registration exam before they can use the title Registered Massage Therapist. Additionally, BC Registered Massage Therapists are required to complete on-going training and education to further enhance their knowledge and maintain quality standards.

Can Technology help Stabilize us Financially?
Audio Podcast Brought to you by CareerSaver.com – Download FREE Practice Tests. Use Code Geek08 for discounts.
The Economy is in Danger. Banks and Institutions are in a financial pickle. With the fall of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because of bad business decisions and a Blind eye to investors building more homes than Americans need, financial institutions could collapse upon themselves. To protect their money, they could make it harder for Businesses to get loans.
I am building a business in Geekazine. I have been working hard in putting together a Business Plan for investors. Now I might find myself in a position where I possibly cannot find the investors and loans simply because any proposition can become a risky one. The 700 billion of taxpayers' money to bail out these companies that the Government is proposing is set to keep things going for a while, but we are far from an answer. So what could be that answer – Maybe Technology?
Ten Years ago yesterday, Ebay put their company up for Public offering. They started at $18 a share. Currently they are at $22 a share and they employ thousands. Google employs over 10 thousand. These are companies that show us you can take nothing and turn it into something.
Could you imagine what could have happened if these companies didn't get their financial backing? What would have happened if Microsoft or IBM didn't get the funding to build their facilities? We wouldn't be seeing 22 nm chips and 64 bit Operating Systems.
Businesszone.co.uk held a conference in May and within, the National Federation of Enterprise Agencies stated the number of startups in 2008 is 50 thousand less than in 2007. They believe it will pick up toward the end, however with the threat of financial companies possibly making it harder to lend money, we may just see startups plateau for now.
CIO.com asked back in January if Technology can bring us out of a recession. They talked about Green Technology and upgrading Infrastructure. MIT researchers posted ideas from their faculty to help. They believe that Bioengineering, Fusion, Robots and Sustainable Cities might help with the answer. This is all well and good, but are these items that can turn our current economy around?
Of course those articles came out a couple months before the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Wall Street was still in a stable position. So Now, we need to find ways to get Wall Street and Financial Institutions back on their feet. That is where technology comes in. What can technology do to contribute to bringing Wall Street back to stability?
In turning things around, though, we will have to keep an eagle eye on those who will try to capitalize and throw us off track. Wrong thinkers and people willing to deceive the average American to make their own dollar. Crime does go up in times like these.
Wall Street & Technology has the best Headline though: Transform Intelligence into Action. Data is what drives us and Data is what can take us out of this. Trends in the Market, educated patterns and preemptive solutions will turn things around. Programs that can better project and warn us if something like a Government funded housing project is going to turn on us.
I wish I could tell you what technology could turn the market around. I bet if the programming minds out on Wall Street got together, someone can come up with a usable device or software. But if we can't, you might want to stock up on rations.
Funny. We just shut down the Large Hadron Collider for a malfunction and reality is, we already have a big black hole sucking us in.
