All states, including New York, wherein nearly 2000 babies are stillborn each year, require the family to pay for funeral expenses, and a death certificate/report is issued after a stillbirth. Yet, New York, unlike 23 other states, will not offer women the choice of a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth. During a presidential election year, when women's choices are a top priority for candidates, this topic is highly provocative.
"There is an enormity to this public health issue," says Dr. Joanne Cacciatore, an expert in traumatic child death. "More than ten times the number of babies die of stillbirth, than those who die of SIDS, yet it's virtually invisible." Part of the problem, according to grieving parents, Jeff and Lori Tieger of Staten Island, is that families experiencing stillbirth have been silenced due to abortion politics. On June 15th, the Tieger's held an important Father's Day Press Conference on the steps of City Hall in New York City, where they also had a brief conversation with Speaker Sheldon Silver who assured grieving parents personally that, "We're moving your bill."
However, by the end of session just a few days later, the bill was being held for consideration due to vociferous opposition from Helene Weinstein (D-Brooklyn). Yet, Weinstein's own county has the highest number of stillbirths in all of New York. In addition, one in 90 births results in stillbirth in that same county. "Assemblywoman Weinstein did not act on behalf of her constituents. She attended to the demands of large lobbying organizations supporting her position in the Assembly, and together they fought against grieving mothers," said activist Paige Ricci of Malta. "I mean, how can you say you're pro-woman, pro-children, and pro-choice and yet oppose a bill that advocates for women, children, and choices?"
Velasmooth machines from Syneron yesterday. Velasmooth is the first non-surgical, non-invasive cellulite reduction system with no downtime and has no side-effects. It also re-contours the body. Velasmooth has been proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite through a new technology called elos, short for electro-optical energy. This breakthrough technology combines four kinds of energies working together at the same time.
In addition to removing cellulite, it smoothes the skin and makes you look twenty years younger. "Chill's goal has always been to be a one-stop-shop for beauty and relaxation. This goal has often required us to be innovative and offer things you don't usually find at a spa. This is a big step in that direction." said Laurel Aston, the marketing directory of Chill Wellness Institute and Spa.
Chill will make cellulite reduction services available by July 1.
There are many types of skin cancer: Melanoma skin cancer that forms in skin cells that make pigment; Basal cell skin cancer that forms in small, round cells in the base of the outer layer of skin; Squamous cell skin cancer (one of two most common) that forms in flat cells that form the surface of the skin; Neuroendocrine skin cancer that forms in cells that release hormones in response to signals from the nervous system.
The most two common skin cancers (Basal cell and Squamous cell) occurs on areas of the skin that have been in the sun, usually on the head, neck, hands and arms. Studies have shown that people with certain Risk Factors are more likely than others to develop skin cancer. These risk factors include: Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation exposure, Skin Scars or Burns, Skin Infection, Skin Inflammation or skin ulcers, Skin Diseases, Radiation Therapy, Family history of skin cancer, Medical conditions affecting the Immune System.
The best way to prevent skin cancer caused by UV radiation is to protect yourself from the sun. Also, it is very important to protect children from an early age, since research has found that most sun damage happens before age 15. It is best to wear sun protective clothing when exposed to the sun, and specially when swimming, and use sunscreen on exposed skin whenever you can. Also, you should be aware of UV radiation which can be reflected by sand, water, snow, and ice. UV radiation can go through light clothing, windshields, windows, and clouds. Wear long sleeves and long pants, a hat with a wide brim, and sunglasses that absorb UV. Use sunscreen lotions (at least SPF15) where possible. The most common place where you can be over-exposed to the sun UV radiation is on the beach, therefore a special type of sun clothing is required which can give you the right skin protection and the freedom you expect to feel when spending your day swimming, sailing, surfing or simply walking on the sands.
History of Tungsten
The word Tungsten in Swedish and Danish means "heavy stone." The current name for the element is Wolfram and was founded by Peter Woulfe in 1779 who examined wolframite.
Gold, silver and platinum like Tungsten are heavy elements. It is naturally occurring and is an important element responsible for the development of human civilization. Without tungsten we would not have the filament inside the incandescent light bulb. Tungsten gives the filament the toughness and resilience exceeding any other metal. In 1922 the Germans developed Tungsten Carbide as the material used in making better cutting tool bits for precision milling and cutting of steel.
Tungsten has the highest melting point of all the elements at 6,700 degrees F (3,420 degrees C). Its permanent attributes deem it to be the hardest metal on the planet.
Today tungsten carbide jewelry is being preferred by many people, which is attributed to its toughness and strength. Although tungsten is primarily used in mechanical industry applications, it is quickly gaining popularity as a durable, long lasting, material used in jewelry.

Gearing up for the 2008 wedding season is a new bridal style concept, Rock*Star*Bride. Officially launching this wedding season, Rock*Star*Bride provides brides with lots of pre-wedding style, served up with a little rock star attitude. Bridal products no longer have to be limited to “Soon to be Mrs.” and “Bride” options emblazoned with rhinestones or monograms embroidered in pale pink. Rock*Star*Bride is designed specifically for brides looking for urban, less-traditional items that show her distinct personality for her wedding day.
Brides are so busy planning their wedding up to the last minute; they often forget what they are wearing before they put on “the dress.” Getting ready on the big day often involves running to the salon, hanging with bridesmaids in the hotel room, or just having coffee with Mom. But there are still a lot of pictures being taken that part of the day. Rock*Star*Bride keeps brides looking fun and fabulous until changing for the ceremony.
The launch collection of Rock*Star*Bride includes the following:
• Signature hoodies ($45.00)
• Logo Lounge Pants ($40.00)
• Urban Bride Tank Tops ($30.00)
• Army Hats ($20.00)
• Rock’n Boy Shorts ($12.00)
Products are available to order now at Rockstar-Bride, via the “Shop RSB” button.

"Becoming self-sufficient means satisfying all the necessities to live a regular life, excluding personal needs that are only satisfied by a companion," said Dr. Aberra. "All the primary elements such as a career, a college education, community involvement, interests, hobbies and a social life do not require the presence or participation of a companion."
Dr. Aberra says that living alone for an extended period of time and coming to know what it takes to be independent and self-sufficient is paramount. As self-sufficient women, finding pleasure in the freedom from rules imposed on them as children means taking on the responsibilities of providing for themselves and meeting responsibilities without the help of others in their lives. Dr. Aberra asserts that this is the first step toward independence and achieving self-sufficiency, followed by the responsibilities of financial independence. The goal is not to be wealthy but to be independent. Women cannot begin to look for mates until they have met these responsibilities on their own.
Just as a building's foundation is the key to preserving the integrity of the structure, so is self-sufficiency to the integrity of a marriage, according to Dr. Aberra. Marriage does not fix the deficiencies women suffer from not being self-sufficient when they are single. Hiding the deficiencies will only make matters worse, and more often than not it will end up breaking-up the marriage -- which was faulty to begin with, the doctor says.
Understanding self-sufficiency is crucial in preparing women for what to expect once they get married. Once women have managed to become self-sufficient, they can look for a mate that can be a companion. However, Dr. Aberra cautions that a companion is not there to do a woman's mundane chores. She can do those herself if she has to, and her companion is there to attend to the personal needs she cannot attend to on her own. A companion is to complement and enhance her life, a person with whom she shares her ideas and hopes, happiness and sadness, accomplishments and disappointments. A woman's companion is her sexual partner, and most of all, her friend. But to have such a companion, Dr. Aberra advises that she must be self-sufficient first.
Self-sufficiency is the foundation to preserving the integrity of a marriage, one that will prepare a woman to be, and to find, a wonderful companion.
