Limited Benefit Health Insurance Plans which may identify themselves as Short Term Limited Duration Insurance, Fixed Indemnity Plans, Specific Disease Plans, Indemnification Plans (i.e., Cancer Policy, Heart Policy, Accident Policy), Discounted Pharmacy or Dental Plans.
Limited benefit health insurance plans are not replacements for comprehensive health insurance coverage. If you lost coverage under a comprehensive plan and are considering a limited benefit plan, there are several things you should have in mind when reviewing the coverages offered by a plan:
Before deciding if a limited benefit health insurance plan is right for you, carefully consider if the plan meets your current and future needs. Know the limitations of the coverage and understand the expenses that will and will not be covered under the policy. Also, ask your agent if there are any exclusions or limitations specifically spelled out in the policy, so expenses that fall within the coverage gaps do not surprise you.
High Deductible Health Plans
Another health plan option is a "high deductible health plan" (HDHP). HDHPs provide the same types of coverages as a comprehensive health insurance plan, but only cover catastrophic health care costs. This means you will be responsible for paying much more of the upfront cost before the policy would pay any benefits for eligible medical expenses. HDHPs have a lower premium to compensate for the higher out-of-pocket costs incurred with these high deductibles.
There are two types of HDHPs:
Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
An HSA is a savings account that allows you to set aside funds for future qualified medical expenses. An insured enrolling in a HDHP with an HSA can deposit funds for health care expenses on a pre-tax basis into the account. Earnings on HSA balances are also not taxable. Withdrawals of HSA funds to pay for eligible health care expenses are exempt from federal and state taxes as well. Unused funds in an HSA at the end of a year can roll over into the next calendar year.
If you're considering either type of HDHP, make sure to read the policy form—paying careful attention to the benefits and the limitations of the plan. Review the implications of having a high deductible. For instance, will you have the funds available to pay a large deductible or high medical expense in the event of an unexpected illness? Also, consider whether the tax-saving advantages of an HSA are appropriate for your particular financial situation and contact a tax consultant if you have questions.

I'll be posting some things I've made over the last few years that used to be on my old blog. That blog is lost forever now so the pics are moving here!
I actually made two of these quilts for my niece. She wore out the first one! I used vintage floral fabric and a black stripe border and machine quilted it. I don't have a walking foot for my machine so the quilting turned out a bit bunchy and crooked but my niece didn't mind one bit!

Home foreclosures in the region dipped slightly in May, with fewer homeowners struggling to make their payments, experts said.
The number of default notices, sales at auction and bank repossessions in Burbank, Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge and La Crescenta fell 2% in May from the month prior, from 377 to 369, according to the real estate tracking firm RealtyTrac.
Compared with May of last year, the number of foreclosures in the area declined by 15%.
Paul Habibi, a professor of real estate finance at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, said he expects to see a "flat housing environment" for the remainder of the year.
With the job market projected to pick up and interest rates remaining low, buyers might still be encouraged and perhaps nudge home prices upward, he said, although the $8,000-federal tax credit for homebuyers ended Wednesday.

News story
North East's Most Innovative Businesses and Enterprising Individuals Receive Recognition From the Queen
The North East's most enterprising individuals and businesses will tomorrow (Thursday 14 July) attend an evening reception at Buckingham Palace…
The North East's most enterprising individuals and businesses will tomorrow (Thursday 14 July) attend an evening reception at Buckingham Palace after they were announced as this year's winners of The Queen's Awards for Enterprise 2011.
Seven companies and two individuals who have, or will be presented with their awards by the Lord Lieutenant throughout the year, will have the opportunity to meet Her Majesty The Queen and other members of the Royal Family: the ultimate recognition of their commitment to enterprise and innovation.
Today, winning companies from the region encouraged other North East firms to apply for the 2012 awards, which come at the time of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and also the Olympics.
And one firm has already recorded an increase of almost 50 per cent additional visits to their website since its Queen's Award for International Trade was announced, some of which have already turned into new business.
Gary Ashton, sales director at Tiger Filtration Ltd, in Sunderland which designs, tests and manufactures a comprehensive range of compressed air and gas filtration products, said: "We would advise all companies in the North East to consider applying for a Queen's Award as the advantages of winning can never be underestimated.
"Being a small company with ten employees - to be rewarded in this way is a real privilege and an achievement we are all very proud of. Feedback from both our UK and export customers has been extremely positive and the benefits of having the award are already becoming apparent due to the increased interest in our product portfolio.
Before the reception, Business Secretary Vince Cable will present some of Britain's most enterprising individuals; including Alison Brown and Ron Batty with The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion which rewards individuals who have played an outstanding and significant role in promoting the growth of business enterprise, entrepreneurial skills and attitudes in others.
Mr Batty, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award, is former Chief Executive of CDC Enterprise Agency in Durham, a post he held for 25 years before his retirement in December 2010. The agency has grown in stature under his leadership and is now seen as an exemplar, particularly for establishing an enterprise culture in an area of social, commercial and economic disadvantage. Since his retirement, Mr Batty continues to work with the agency as a director and consultant and also carries out volunteer work mentoring the Durham Future Business Magnates, a competition for 13-year-old schoolchildren, and the Durham Retail Business Awards, aimed at enterprise promotion.
He said: "I'm delighted to have been involved with CDC Enterprise Agency for the past 25 years. Supporting the growth of enterprise is vital and needs to be encouraged from as early an age as possible, which is why we work with local schools. We help those with ideas set up in business, but it doesn't stop there as you need to continue that enterprise to ensure the ongoing success of the company.
"I was completely surprised, honoured and humbled when I found out about my Queen's Award - I had absolutely no idea I had been nominated. To be honoured in this way and be given the chance to meet the Queen and Prince Philip is certainly an experience I will never forget.
"I know there are many enterprising companies in the North East and I would urge them to apply for next year's Queen's Awards to gain recognition for their endeavours."
Alison Brown is Head of Technology and Director of Specialism at Catcote School Business and Enterprise College, Hartlepool where she has worked for 14 years. She has promoted enterprise at the college and taken it from having no enterprise or vocational education to win recognition locally, regionally and nationally as a Centre of Excellence in Enterprise Education. It is now the only Specialist Business and Enterprise College in Hartlepool and was one of the first in the country to achieve such status.
She said: "It is with pride that I accept this honour and Royal recognition for myself and the rest of Catcote School Business and Enterprise College. I would like to thank them for their support and inspiration."
Headteacher Alan Chapman added: "Winning the award is true recognition of the work that Alison does in promoting enterprise education for children and young people with learning disabilities. I know that there are many other schools that have embraced an enterprise culture and would encourage other headteachers to look at this award to help celebrate the work carried out in their schools."
Business Secretary Vince Cable said:
"It's wonderful to see that even with a difficult economic climate, individuals such as Alison Brown and Ron Batty continue to find enterprising ways of working and helping others to establish their businesses.
"The individuals receiving awards today are an inspiration and I congratulate them on their hard work and their achievement. The opportunity for them to join the business winners and to go to the Palace to celebrate their hard work is well deserved and I hope they have a wonderful time.
"It's important we create the right conditions for Britain's new and up- and-coming entrepreneurs to succeed and I strongly encourage businesses to start thinking about nominations for next year."
Anyone who has helped individuals to develop entrepreneurial approaches and achievements with a view to starting or building a business can be nominated for The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion. These activities can be at both at national or local level.
The awards are made annually by HM The Queen and are only given for the highest levels of excellence demonstrated in each category. They are judged to a demanding level and winners receive a number of benefits and worldwide recognition.
The application/nomination period for The Queen's Awards for Enterprise 2012 is now open and closes on October 31. Entry is free and forms can be completed and submitted online at www.businesslink.gov.uk/queensawards Winners will be announced on April 21 2012.

But of all the evidence against Eric Naposki in the murder of William McLaughlin, the piece that prosecutor Matt Murphy on Monday decided to send the jury home thinking about was one that hasn't really been covered in the media: a license plate number found scribbled in Naposki's personal notebook.
Murphy got in one hour of his closing argument and will continue Tuesday. So what he chose to emphasize at the end of that hour and let the jury stew on overnight deserves some attention.
When cops initially searched Naposki's vehicle shortly after the Dec. 15, 1994 murder, one of the things they found was a notebook. They made copies of all the pages and gave it back to Naposki.
The notebook contained things like handwritten to-do lists and amounts of money owed to or by individuals. There was also among the scribblings what appeared to be a license plate number. Investigators discovered it was the plate number of McLaughlin's Mercedes.
Naposki claimed to have never met McLaughlin, never had business dealings with him, never been to his garage where the Mercedes was parked.
Why, then, did Naposki have his license plate number in his notebook? Murphy told jurors he could think of plenty of reasons why – if Naposki was planning to murder McLaughlin. But, Murphy asked, "What is the interpretation that points toward innocence?"
The defense didn't offer any evidence to explain the appearance of the plate number. It will be interesting to see how defense attorney Gary Pohlson addresses it in his closing Tuesday.
If you were sitting on the jury, one of the things that had to be going through your head through the first 11 days was, "Why did this take 17 years to come to trial?"
A juror would have to notice there is a huge gap in evidence collection between 1995 and 2007. What or who recharged the investigation? As readers of this column know, the main answer is D.A. investigator Larry Montgomery, but through the first 29 prosecution witnesses, jurors never heard a peep from him – even though he has sat immediately to Murphy's right at counsel table throughout the trial.
The defense never wanted them to.
Last week, with jury out of the room, Pohlson told Judge William Froeberg that Montgomery's investigation after he got the case in 2007 was "great police work (but) absolutely irrelevant as to whether Mr. Naposki is guilty." Allowing him to testify how he tracked down new witnesses with little to go on "imbues Mr. Montgomery with the aura of being a super-cop," Pohlson said. "I don't want St. Larry coming into the courtroom."
Froeberg, however, said that "it's human nature to speculate why there was such a delay," and that Montgomery could testify. So, Monday morning, before closing arguments began, Montgomery became the prosecution's 30th – and second-to-last witness.
Montgomery told jurors he's part of the D.A.'s cold-case homicide team and was asked in 2007 by Newport Beach police to look into McLaughlin's murder. The more detailed sequence of events is that two previous deputy D.A.'s declined to prosecute in the 1990s, believing there wasn't enough evidence (such as the murder weapon), but when Murphy inherited the file, he thought it might be a case worth reviving and asked Montgomery to look into it.
Montgomery told me he then asked Newport cops what they thought, and they were all for dusting it off. From there, Montgomery told jurors, he reviewed 59 tape recordings, mostly of witness/suspect statements, and reviewed 2,000 pages of documents.
As he listened to tapes made some 15 years earlier, Montgomery said, he put himself in the place of the interviewees. If I was innocent, "What would I know? Not know? … Is what they're saying consistent with an innocent person?"
Montgomery also tracked down two witnesses the 1994-95 investigation didn't have, including a woman who testified Naposki once said he hated McLaughlin and wanted to kill him.

Face Cream Homemade – Recipe
It's all natural!
And finally, it makes my skin feel amazing! I use this cream twice a day and a face mask twice a week, and I'm loving my new skin!! Seriously … this cream is fabulous!
Store bought cosmetics and beauty products are a big question mark in my book. For a lot of people, they can be a major source of chemical exposure. An average beauty product (including most lotions and moisturizers) contain dozens and dozens of chemicals, some known to be harmful, and many more that have not even been tested for safety in humans. This homemade recipe is SO EASY, all natural, and works better than any other store bought product I've tried!
Convinced to give it a try? This recipe really couldn't be easier!
Here's what you'll need:
- 3/4 cup of Unrefined Coconut Oil
- 1 tsp of Vitamin E Oil
- 20-30 drops total of your favorite Essential Oils (see below for recommendations … I use Frankincense and Lavender as my main base)
Mix it up
An easy three steps …
- Place all three ingredients in a medium bowl (or in you kitchen aid mixer … which I don't have).
- Beat oils for several minutes (~3 minutes) until they are very creamy.
- Place in small GLASS or metal jar (just not plastic), label, and enjoy after washing!
Let's talk about the benefits of these oils and why I choose this combination:
- Unrefined Coconut oil: Promotes collagen production and heals damaged skin. It is packed with antioxidants which are shown to have anti-aging effects. Why use unrefined for beauty products and creams? Because it's additive and chemical free. It is richer in proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants. Coconut oil in general is an awesome oil to use for skin products because it's solid at room temperature (though it quickly melts into your skin).
- Vitamin E oil can help block free radicals, and thus slow down the skin's aging process and the formation of wrinkles (!!). It also promotes healing and helps to heal any scars, brown spots, other skin issues. Bonus: It's also wonderful for your nails, so be sure to spread a little around!
- Essential Oils: Now, you can totally make this cream with just the coconut and vitamin E oils, and it will be wonderful (and, most importantly … all natural). But, if you want even more benefits adding an essential oil or combination of a few essential oils can really give your skin the extra boost and leave it looking even more fresh, lightened, smooth, and younger! Below are some great recommendations on what oils to use for what type of skin. If you only choose one, however, I recommend Frankincense. It has amazing properties to restore, smooth, and improve skin tone!
Recommended Essential Oils to use in Face Cream (pick one or a combination of several):
Oily or Acne Prone Skin: Cedarwood, Helichrysum, Lavender, Lemon, Melaleuca Altenifolia (Tea Tree), Patchouli, Roman Chamomile, Tea Tree, Ylang Ylang
Dry Skin: Frankincense, Helichrysum, Myrrh, Patchouli, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang
For Anti-aging: Frankincense, Geranium, Helichrysum, Neroli, Myrrh, Patchouli, Rose, Ylang Ylang
For Scarring: Frankincense, Helichrysum, Neroli, Patchouli,
Sensitive Skin: Helichrysum, Neroli, Roman Chamomile, Rose

After working for nine months on Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala, KC Concepcion says that she had learned a lot from her co-stars in this ABS-CBN teleserye.
"Working with Ate Juday, parang ayoko mag-end.
"Sabi ko, ang bilis na lang nito once na mag-air ito.
"Parang mami-miss ko masyado si Ate Juday [referring to Judy Ann Santos] pati yung cast," said KC.
How does she feel about being a kontrabida in this teleserye?
"I love it!" she exclaimed. "I love Alexis...first time [ko as kontrabida].
"I'm glad na tinanggap ko itong role."
When asked to describe her character Alexis, KC pointed out:
"Nagpakatotoo lang ako sa sarili ko. Si Alexis totoong tao siya, hindi siya nagsu sugarcoat, hindi siya goody two shoes.
"Kung ano ang nararamdaman niya, ipapakita niya yun."
KC's character becomes the third party in the relationship of Judy Ann Santos and Sam Milby.
KC admits that she had no problems adjusting to her leading man in this show.
"Kumportable naman ako kasi si Sam naman yan.
"Nakapag-work na rin kami on several projects together.
"Si Sam parang buddy-buddy ko na rin si Sam so kumportable ako.
"At the same time, alam ko hindi kami pababayaan ng mga director namin."
How can she relate to her character Alexis?
KC said that doing this role made her realize: "Kung in love ka, nabubulag ka to a lot of things.
"Si Alexis ang type na hinayaan niya ang sarili niya na ma in love ng todo at hinayaan niya ang sarili niya na maramdaman ang lahat ng meron para sa babae na nasa sitwasyon na iyon."
How was it like shooting their slapping scenes in this soap opera?
"Pinaghandaan ko talaga yun," said KC with a wide smile.
"Inaral ko kung paano ba manampal ng tao. Sabi ko talaga, ayoko masaktan si Ate Juday. Kailangan aral na aral ko ang pressure, kailangan dito lang [pointing to her fingers] para hindi masyadong masakit.
"[In the end], ako ang nasaktan. Ang galing kasi ni Ate Juday na manampal."
Working with Judy Ann has taught KC to level up her acting skills to be at par with the "Queen of Teleseryes."
"Natutunan ko na maging aktres. Mararamdaman mo talagang sineseryoso talaga nila ang craft.
"I'm learning from the best.
"Yung sampalan scenes, that's nothing compared sa mga natutunan ko everyday na magkasama kami sa eksena."
KC then quipped: "Napakalaking bagay na marunong na akong manampal ngayon. Gaganti rin ako, Ate Juday."
When Sharon Cuneta and Judy Ann had the chance to work on the movie Magkapatid way back in 2002, this allowed them to forge a frienship that has been by tested by time.
It seems this project, Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala, has allowed Sharon's daughter, KC, and Juday to further strengthen their bond as well.
KC says she and Juday treat each other as sisters.
"Pag wala naman kami sa work, normal lang. Minsan nga, hindi na namin pinaguusapan ang trabaho. Nagluluto lang kami, tinuturuan niya ako ng recipes.
"Pag meron akong problema, sa kanya rin ako tatawag."
Juday said in a previous interview that the role of the kontrabida Alexis is suited to KC.
What is KC's reaction to this?
"Bagay siguro kasi confident na ako umarte. Marami kasi sa roles na ginawa ko before pa-tweetums.
"Mas kumportable lang siguro ako ngayon sa role na ito na mas may kagat at mas astig na role."
How daring will KC be in this project?
"Si Alexis kasi is a playful person so pwede siyang daring na playful pa rin.
"Hindi siya daring na X-rated na. I wouldn't do that also.
"Natuto na rin ako na you can be a risktaker, you can be open to trying new things pero you still have to be yourself and stay true to yourself."
KC Concepcion: "Kung in love ka, nabubulag ka to a lot of things."

018.001 Praise be to God, Who hath sent to His Servant the Book, and hath allowed therein no Crookedness:
018.002 (He hath made it) Straight (and Clear) in order that He may warn (the godless) of a terrible Punishment from Him, and that He may give Glad Tidings to the Believers who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a goodly Reward,
018.003 Wherein they shall remain for ever:
018.004 Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, "God hath begotten a son":
018.005 No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying what they say is nothing but falsehood!
018.006 Thou wouldst only, perchance, fret thyself to death, following after them, in grief, if they believe not in this Message.
018.007 That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.
018.008 Verily what is on earth we shall make but as dust and dry soil (without growth or herbage).
018.009 Or dost thou reflect that the Companions of the Cave and of the Inscription were wonders among Our Sign?
018.010 Behold, the youths betook themselves to the Cave: they said, "Our Lord! bestow on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way!"
018.011 Then We drew (a veil) over their ears, for a number of years, in the Cave, (so that they heard not):
018.012 Then We roused them, in order to test which of the two parties was best at calculating the term of years they had tarried!
018.013 We relate to thee their story in truth: they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We advanced them in guidance:
018.014 We gave strength to their hearts: Behold, they stood up and said: "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and of the earth: never shall we call upon any god other than Him: if we did, we should indeed have uttered an enormity!
018.015 "These our people have taken for worship gods other than Him: why do they not bring forward an authority clear (and convincing) for what they do? Who doth more wrong than such as invent a falsehood against God?
018.016 "When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than God, betake yourselves to the Cave: Your Lord will shower His mercies on you and dispose of your affair towards comfort and ease."
018.017 Thou wouldst have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the right from their Cave, and when it set, turning away from them to the left, while they lay in the open space in the midst of the Cave. Such are among the Signs of God: He whom God, guides is rightly guided; but he whom God leaves to stray,- for him wilt thou find no protector to lead him to the Right Way.
018.018 Thou wouldst have deemed them awake, whilst they were asleep, and We turned them on their right and on their left sides: their dog stretching forth his two fore-legs on the threshold: if thou hadst come up on to them, thou wouldst have certainly turned back from them in flight, and wouldst certainly have been filled with terror of them.
018.019 Such (being their state), we raised them up (from sleep), that they might question each other. Said one of them, "How long have ye stayed (here)?" They said, "We have stayed (perhaps) a day, or part of a day." (At length) they (all) said, "God (alone) knows best how long ye have stayed here.... Now send ye then one of you with this money of yours to the town: let him find out which is the best food (to be had) and bring some to you, that (ye may) satisfy your hunger therewith: And let him behave with care and courtesy, and let him not inform any one about you.
018.020 "For if they should come upon you, they would stone you or force you to return to their cult, and in that case ye would never attain prosperity."
018.021 Thus did We make their case known to the people, that they might know that the promise of God is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment. Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair. (Some) said, "Construct a building over them": Their Lord knows best about them: those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them."
018.022 (Some) say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; (others) say they were five, the dog being the sixth,- doubtfully guessing at the unknown; (yet others) say they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord knoweth best their number; It is but few that know their (real case)." Enter not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the Sleepers.
018.023 Nor say of anything, "I shall be sure to do so and so tomorrow"-
018.024 Without adding, "So please God!" and call thy Lord to mind when thou forgettest, and say, "I hope that my Lord will guide me ever closer (even) than this to the right road."
018.025 So they stayed in their Cave three hundred years, and (some) add nine (more)
018.026 Say: "God knows best how long they stayed: with Him is (the knowledge of) the secrets of the heavens and the earth: how clearly He sees, how finely He hears (everything)! They have no protector other than Him; nor does He share His Command with any person whatsoever.
018.027 And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can change His Words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than Him.
018.028 And keep thy soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face; and let not thine eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter of this Life; nor obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us, one who follows his own desires, whose case has gone beyond all bounds.
018.029 Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong-doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!
018.030 As to those who believe and work righteousness, verily We shall not suffer to perish the reward of any who do a (single) righteous deed.
018.031 For them will be Gardens of Eternity; beneath them rivers will flow; they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade: They will recline therein on raised thrones. How good the recompense! How beautiful a couch to recline on!
018.032 Set forth to them the parable of two men: for one of them We provided two gardens of grape-vines and surrounded them with date palms; in between the two We placed corn-fields.
018.033 Each of those gardens brought forth its produce, and failed not in the least therein: in the midst of them We caused a river to flow.
018.034 (Abundant) was the produce this man had : he said to his companion, in the course of a mutual argument: "more wealth have I than you, and more honour and power in (my following of) men."
018.035 He went into his garden in a state (of mind) unjust to his soul: He said, "I deem not that this will ever perish,
018.036 "Nor do I deem that the Hour (of Judgment) will (ever) come: Even if I am brought back to my Lord, I shall surely find (there) something better in exchange."
018.037 His companion said to him, in the course of the argument with him: "Dost thou deny Him Who created thee out of dust, then out of a sperm-drop, then fashioned thee into a man?
018.038 "But (I think) for my part that He is God, My Lord, and none shall I associate with my Lord.
018.039 "Why didst thou not, as thou wentest into thy garden, say: 'God's will (be done)! There is no power but with God!' If thou dost see me less than thee in wealth and sons,
018.040 "It may be that my Lord will give me something better than thy garden, and that He will send on thy garden thunderbolts (by way of reckoning) from heaven, making it (but) slippery sand!-
018.041 "Or the water of the garden will run off underground so that thou wilt never be able to find it."
018.042 So his fruits (and enjoyment) were encompassed (with ruin), and he remained twisting and turning his hands over what he had spent on his property, which had (now) tumbled to pieces to its very foundations, and he could only say, "Woe is me! Would I had never ascribed partners to my Lord and Cherisher!"
018.043 Nor had he numbers to help him against God, nor was he able to deliver himself.
018.044 There, the (only) protection comes from God, the True One. He is the Best to reward, and the Best to give success.
018.045 Set forth to them the similitude of the life of this world: It is like the rain which we send down from the skies: the earth's vegetation absorbs it, but soon it becomes dry stubble, which the winds do scatter: it is (only) God who prevails over all things.
018.046 Wealth and sons are allurements of the life of this world: But the things that endure, good deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best as (the foundation for) hopes.
018.047 One Day We shall remove the mountains, and thou wilt see the earth as a level stretch, and We shall gather them, all together, nor shall We leave out any one of them.
018.048 And they will be marshalled before thy Lord in ranks, (with the announcement), "Now have ye come to Us (bare) as We created you first: aye, ye thought We shall not fulfil the appointment made to you to meet (Us)!":
018.049 And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say, "Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great, but takes account thereof!" They will find all that they did, placed before them: And not one will thy Lord treat with injustice.
018.050 Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": They bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrong-doers!
018.051 I called them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor (even) their own creation: nor is it for Me to take as helpers such as lead (men) astray!
018.052 One Day He will say, "Call on those whom ye thought to be My partners," and they will call on them, but they will not listen to them; and We shall make for them a place of common perdition.
018.053 And the Sinful shall see the fire and apprehend that they have to fall therein: no means will they find to turn away therefrom.
018.054 We have explained in detail in this Qur'an, for the benefit of mankind, every kind of similitude: but man is, in most things, contentious.
018.055 And what is there to keep back men from believing, now that Guidance has come to them, nor from praying for forgiveness from their Lord, but that (they ask that) the ways of the ancients be repeated with them, or the Wrath be brought to them face to face?
018.056 We only send the apostles to give Glad Tidings and to give warnings: But the unbelievers dispute with vain argument, in order therewith to weaken the truth, and they treat My Signs as a jest, as also the fact that they are warned!
018.057 And who doth more wrong than one who is reminded of the Signs of his Lord, but turns away from them, forgetting the (deeds) which his hands have sent forth? Verily We have set veils over their hearts lest they should understand this, and over their ears, deafness, if thou callest them to guidance, even then will they never accept guidance.
018.058 But your Lord is Most forgiving, full of Mercy. If He were to call them (at once) to account for what they have earned, then surely He would have earned, then surely He would have hastened their punishment: but they have their appointed time, beyond which they will find no refuge.
018.059 Such were the populations we destroyed when they committed iniquities; but we fixed an appointed time for their destruction.
018.060 Behold, Moses said to his attendant, "I will not give up until I reach the junction of the two seas or (until) I spend years and years in travel."
018.061 But when they reached the Junction, they forgot (about) their Fish, which took its course through the sea (straight) as in a tunnel.
018.062 When they had passed on (some distance), Moses said to his attendant: "Bring us our early meal; truly we have suffered much fatigue at this (stage of) our journey."
018.063 He replied: "Sawest thou (what happened) when we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget (about) the Fish: none but Satan made me forget to tell (you) about it: it took its course through the sea in a marvellous way!"
018.064 Moses said: "That was what we were seeking after:" So they went back on their footsteps, following (the path they had come).
018.065 So they found one of Our servants, on whom We had bestowed Mercy from Ourselves and whom We had taught knowledge from Our own Presence.
018.066 Moses said to him: "May I follow thee, on the footing that thou teach me something of the (Higher) Truth which thou hast been taught?"
018.067 (The other) said: "Verily thou wilt not be able to have patience with me!"
018.068 "And how canst thou have patience about things about which thy understanding is not complete?"
018.069 Moses said: "Thou wilt find me, if God so will, (truly) patient: nor shall I disobey thee in aught."
018.070 The other said: "If then thou wouldst follow me, ask me no questions about anything until I myself speak to thee concerning it."
018.071 So they both proceeded: until, when they were in the boat, he scuttled it. Said Moses: "Hast thou scuttled it in order to drown those in it? Truly a strange thing hast thou done!"
018.072 He answered: "Did I not tell thee that thou canst have no patience with me?"
018.073 Moses said: "Rebuke me not for forgetting, nor grieve me by raising difficulties in my case."
018.074 Then they proceeded: until, when they met a young man, he slew him. Moses said: "Hast thou slain an innocent person who had slain none? Truly a foul (unheard of) thing hast thou done!"
018.075 He answered: "Did I not tell thee that thou canst have no patience with me?"
018.076 (Moses) said: "If ever I ask thee about anything after this, keep me not in thy company: then wouldst thou have received (full) excuse from my side."
018.077 Then they proceeded: until, when they came to the inhabitants of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused them hospitality. They found there a wall on the point of falling down, but he set it up straight. (Moses) said: "If thou hadst wished, surely thou couldst have exacted some recompense for it!"
018.078 He answered: "This is the parting between me and thee: now will I tell thee the interpretation of (those things) over which thou wast unable to hold patience.
018.079 "As for the boat, it belonged to certain men in dire want: they plied on the water: I but wished to render it unserviceable, for there was after them a certain king who seized on every boat by force.
018.080 "As for the youth, his parents were people of Faith, and we feared that he would grieve them by obstinate rebellion and ingratitude (to God and man).
018.081 "So we desired that their Lord would give them in exchange (a son) better in purity (of conduct) and closer in affection.
018.082 "As for the wall, it belonged to two youths, orphans, in the Town; there was, beneath it, a buried treasure, to which they were entitled: their father had been a righteous man: So thy Lord desired that they should attain their age of full strength and get out their treasure - a mercy (and favour) from thy Lord. I did it not of my own accord. Such is the interpretation of (those things) over which thou wast unable to hold patience."
018.083 They ask thee concerning Zul-qarnain. Say, "I will rehearse to you something of his story."
018.084 Verily We established his power on earth, and We gave him the ways and the means to all ends.
018.085 One (such) way he followed,
018.086 Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water: Near it he found a People: We said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them with kindness."
018.087 He said: "Whoever doth wrong, him shall we punish; then shall he be sent back to his Lord; and He will punish him with a punishment unheard-of (before).
018.088 "But whoever believes, and works righteousness,- he shall have a goodly reward, and easy will be his task as We order it by our Command."
018.089 Then followed he (another) way,
018.090 Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had provided no covering protection against the sun.
018.091 (He left them) as they were: We completely understood what was before him.
018.092 Then followed he (another) way,
018.093 Until, when he reached (a tract) between two mountains, he found, beneath them, a people who scarcely understood a word.
018.094 They said: "O Zul-qarnain! the Gog and Magog (People) do great mischief on earth: shall we then render thee tribute in order that thou mightest erect a barrier between us and them?
018.095 He said: "(The power) in which my Lord has established me is better (than tribute): Help me therefore with strength (and labour): I will erect a strong barrier between you and them:
018.096 "Bring me blocks of iron." At length, when he had filled up the space between the two steep mountain-sides, He said, "Blow (with your bellows)" Then, when he had made it (red) as fire, he said: "Bring me, that I may pour over it, molten lead."
018.097 Thus were they made powerless to scale it or to dig through it.
018.098 He said: "This is a mercy from my Lord: But when the promise of my Lord comes to pass, He will make it into dust; and the promise of my Lord is true."
018.099 On that day We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another: the trumpet will be blown, and We shall collect them all together.
018.100 And We shall present Hell that day for Unbelievers to see, all spread out,-
018.101 (Unbelievers) whose eyes had been under a veil from remembrance of Me, and who had been unable even to hear.
018.102 Do the Unbelievers think that they can take My servants as protectors besides Me? Verily We have prepared Hell for the Unbelievers for (their) entertainment.
018.103 Say: "Shall we tell you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds?-
018.104 "Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works?"
018.105 They are those who deny the Signs of their Lord and the fact of their having to meet Him (in the Hereafter): vain will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of Judgment, give them any weight.
018.106 That is their reward, Hell, because they rejected Faith, and took My Signs and My Messengers by way of jest.
018.107 As to those who believe and work righteous deeds, they have, for their entertainment, the Gardens of Paradise,
018.108 Wherein they shall dwell (for aye): no change will they wish for from them.
018.109 Say: "If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like it, for its aid."
018.110 Say: "I am but a man like yourselves, (but) the inspiration has come to me, that your God is one God: whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and, in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner.
Abu Zubair meriwayatkan dari Jabir bin Abdullah bahwa Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda:
"Setiap penyakit ada obatnya. Jika obat yang tepat diberikan dengan izin Allah, penyakit itu akan sembuh".

[language] The poetic text of a recent spam I received
Line breaks by me to emphasize the found poetry aspect
Kindling his annuity,
man would hush resentment on heredity;
and if let them not,
it would opt sheer, he face,
to increase solar thoughtful beings,
than in the influential unavoidable fields.
His pulse has been seen
lurking poorly some particular taunt,
and indefinitely seems
spiritual legend that his nourishment
either is, or will munch,
evidently, under ascend of the blunderbuss.

6 days in and I have been feeling really well! But I have felt very tired today - wondering if that's a result of the Levo now leaving my system?! Have been taking 30mgs Thiroyd in the morning and another 30mgs around 6 hours later, so think I may increase it tomorrow to 60mgs am and 30mgs 6 hours later. Anyone else had similar issues?
No obvious or apparent negative side effects from the Thiroyd which is a big positive!
Saw a different GP yesterday (to discuss my most recent blood results which apparently meant I was over replaced - ha, ha) and although she admitted to knowing very little about NDT, appeared supportive with my decision to try it 😀
I hope that everyone is well?

Just don't call them death panels. Because that would be wrong, and scaremongery, and stuff. Death pathway is ever so much more pleasant, don't you agree? (my emphasis)
Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.
When a decision has been made to place a patient on the pathway doctors are then recommended to consider removing medication or invasive procedures, such as intravenous drips, which are no longer of benefit.
If a patient is judged to still be able to eat or drink food and water will still be offered to them, as this is considered nursing care rather than medical intervention.
Dr Hargreaves said that this depended, however, on constant assessment of a patient's condition.
He added that some patients were being "wrongly" put on the pathway, which created a "self-fulfilling prophecy" that they would die.
He said: "I have been practising palliative medicine for more than 20 years and I am getting more concerned about this "death pathway" that is coming in.
No mention, of course, of what kind of behind the scenes discussion of cost savings might have factored into the decision to help epople die as quckly as possible.

Bradley Merrill Thompson Featured in Blog Segment "FDA Urged to Take 'Small Steps' in Developing Final Guidelines for Mobile Medical Apps. Good Advice for Social Media Guidelines As Well"Pharma Marketing Blog March 21, 2013
Bradley Merrill Thompson, a Member of the Firm in the Health Care and Life Sciences practice, in the Washington, DC, office, was featured in a blog segment titled "FDA Urged to Take 'Small Steps' in Developing Final Guidelines for Mobile Medical Apps. Good Advice for Social Media Guidelines As Well."
Following is an excerpt::
Bradley Merrill Thompson, General Counsel for the mHealth Regulatory Coalition, spoke about the need for FDA regulations of mobile health apps that obviously should be classified as medical devices. As an example, he cited an "innovative app" that allows you to do urinalysis with your iPhone.
To use the app, you do NOT pee on your iPhone! "You do the test mostly the old-fashioned way of collecting urine in a cup and then inserting a test strip," said Thompson. "All the app does is objectively read the results using the camera on the phone."
"The company website presents the app as able to help patients understand and manage diseases like diabetes, urinary tract infections and pre-eclampsia, a high blood pressure pregnancy complication," said Thompson.
"But here is the problem," said Thompson, "this app falls within longstanding FDA regulation for urinalysis. It seems to me that the company must be aware of the potential for FDA regulation, because on its home page, at the very bottom, after extolling the clinical uses of its product to monitor disease, the company tries to simply disclaim FDA medical device status."


text: I'm not sure what to make of these stills of Andrew Garfield as the new Peter Parker in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly. Don't get me wrong, I am forever grateful to shirtless gods for that one shot everyone's been talking about (along with that hipster ass) but to see the actual Spider-Man with the mask on left me wanting for more. More beef, that is. With the mask off, I think he looks great and doable. With the mask AND shirt off, well let's not even go down there. I hope that they recreated the original scene in the first installment where Peter Parker stands in front of the mirror checking himself out, purely because that was one of my first posts EVER on this site!

Tbilisi, Georgia, April 4
By Nana Kirtzkhalia - Trend:
The moving of borders of Georgia's breakaway regions by Russian servicemen will be discussed during the meeting with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Grigory Karasin, Special Representative of Georgian Prime Minister for Russian-Georgian relations, Zurab Abashidze said.
"This issue is always discussed during Geneva talks. And now this issue will also be particularly discussed in our meeting, although it is not under our mandate. I always highlight this issue. The meeting with Karasin hasn't been scheduled for the upcoming days, but it will take place sooner or later and we will discuss this issue depending on the situation," Abashidze said.
He couldn't specify the exact date of the meeting with Karasin, which have already been postponed two times.
Geneva talks were convened after the armed conflict in Georgia in August 2008 in accordance to the ceasefire agreement of August 12.
Large scale military action was launched in South Ossetia on August 8, 2008. Later, Russian troops occupied Tskhinvali and expelled the Georgian military.
Russia recognised the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in late August. In response, Tbilisi ended diplomatic relations with Moscow and has called the two unrecognised republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia occupied territories.

Jade in B.C.
What is Jade?
Jade is a commercial term encompassing green, white, black or yellow-brown jadeite and nephrite. Jadeitite is a rock that consists essentially of jadeite (sodium-rich, high-pressure pyroxene), whereas nephrite consists of prismatic to acicular amphiboles of the tremolite-actinolite series forming bundles that are randomly oriented and interlocked. All of the known jade deposits in B.C. are of the nephrite variety.
Jade has been used since Neolithic times for jewelry and tool making. Today, the best material is used as gemstones. Large quantities are used for carving and ornamental stone or for table tops. Industrial grade material is used for tile making.
Geology and Origin
Nephrite occurs at over fifty sites in B.C. in bedrock, boulder fields and talus. The bedrock occurrences are typically lens shaped and occur at or near contacts of mafic-ultramafic rocks (mainly serpentinite) with metasedimentary or igneous felsic rocks.
Nephrite formed by metasomatic exchange between ultramafic and silica-bearing rocks within the Mississippian to Jurassic age oceanic Cache Creek and Slide Mountain terranes of B.C.
High pressure blueschist or eclogite grade metamorphic rocks, favourable for jadeitite exploration, are found in the Bridge River, Pinchi Lake, Dease Lake and Jennings River areas of B.C.
Known jade mineral occurrences are documented in the B.C. Geological Survey's MINFILE database which is available on the Ministry's website at http://www.empr.gov.bc.ca/mining/geoscience/minfile/Pages/default.aspx.

Ornamental and Gemstone Market
The world jade market is estimated at 300 tonnes per year, with three quarters of this originating in B.C. The price of raw jade varies from less than $10 to $100 per kilogram depending on quality and quantity.
The best B.C. nephrite is bought by local artists and transformed into artwork which is in demand internationally. The largest sculpture made of B.C. nephrite is probably the Buddha commissioned for the Wat Dhammongkol Monastery in Bangkok. It was carved from a 32 tonne nephrite boulder. This transaction was worth about $350,000 to the Jade West Group of Companies.
Dimension Stone
Industrial grade jade has been stockpiled in B.C. in anticipation of serving the growing natural-stone tile market. Jade tiles have great market potential in new, upscale residential and commercial building applications.

Prospecting Tips
Most nephrite deposits occur along or near the contacts between ultramafic and metasedimentary rocks.
In situ deposits may be marked by downslope, down ice, or downstream accumulation of nephrite boulders. Follow-up of nephrite boulder trains and fans is a good prospecting method.
Nephrite boulders have a rough, either buff, brown, gray or white weathering surface, which renders nephrite difficult to identify. A hammer blow to a nephrite boulder leaves little or no mark and the hammer springs back with unexpected intensity due to its toughness.
Large boulders may be test drilled or sawn to identify those with economic promise.
Rodingite (white rock) in bedrock or boulders may indicate favourable geological conditions for nephrite.
