Dr. Loren Borud: Combining Education with Dedication
In the field of plastic surgery, Dr. Loren Borud is considered to be one of the most well-known and respected practitioners because of his extensive years of experience. Dr. Borud has an exceptional educational background; he is an alumnus of the reputable Stanford University and obtained his MD from the prestigious Harvard Medical School. Many patients of Dr. Borud trust him because of his knowledge in the medical field and his good educational upbringing. Aside from getting degrees from top-notched schools in the United States, he also completed his plastic surgery residency and fellowship training from yet another known university, New York University. Just like any other expert plastic surgeon, he gained the confidence of his clients through his dedication in performing safe and effective methods.
As a board certified plastic surgeon, he shared his knowledge and skills to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston for eight years. While practicing his profession at Boston, he also imparted his expertise to many aspiring plastic surgeons at the Harvard Medical School. He became an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the said university. His years of experience in Boston helped him to gain more substantial and significant medical background.
When it comes to immortalizing one’s idea and competence, Dr. Loren Borud is no pushover. Dr. Borud may not be considered as an armchair philosopher because aside from providing lectures nationally and internationally, he also authored several articles and book chapters regarding concepts of plastic surgery procedures and methods. His passion for sharing his knowledge to others led Dr. Borud to write an inspiring book tackling his life as a plastic surgeon.
As one of the main proponents of researches regarding lymphedema or lymphatic obstruction, Dr. Borud co-founded the Harvard Lymphedema Clinic in 2004. Because of his initiative, the Clinic was able to conduct studies related to lymphatic obstruction through compelling patient case studies. Alongside with lymphedema studies, Dr. Borud is also an expert when it comes to body countering surgeries. Many of his past and present clienteles are very much pleased with the way he prioritizes safety when performing body shaping surgeries.
When Dr. Loren Borud is not busy performing plastic surgeries and researching, he finds time to take a break by riding his bicycle and running. Many people consider Dr. Borud as a true blue surgeon who does not know how to take a time off; however, in reality, he is inclined into cycling and running.

Starting your Vegetable Garden – The Main Vegetable Types & What you Need to Know

If you want an abundant, productive organic vege garden then it’s important to first understand a little about the different vegetable types, and the conditions in which they thrive. Vegetables tend to be grouped into 3 main categories: fruit and seed vegetables; leaf and stem vegetables, and root and bulb vegetables, depending on the part of the plant that is most commonly eaten.
They can also be grouped according to their temperature preferences: cool season vegetables grow best at low temperatures of 50-70 deg F (10-20 deg C); warm vegetables grow best at temperatures of 70 def F (20 deg C) or above, while a third, temperate group prefers temperatures of between 60 -75 deg F (15-25 deg C). If you grow vegetables out of season then, despite your best intentions, you are doomed for disappointment as your vegetables will either fail to germinate and grow, or rapidly bolt to seed.
This article is not designed to act as a comprehensive guide to growing individual vegetables – there are many good books available that will cover these basics and that may be well tailored to your own particular climate. Instead, you will find an overview of each of these groups, and their requirements, in turn. If you do not have a vegetable gardening book then most seed packets give detailed maps or descriptions on the back, explaining the best time to plant in your area.
]]>
Fruit and seed vegetables.
This group include beans, peas, eggplants (aubergines), capsicums (bell peppers), tomatoes, sweetcorn and cucurbits (vine crops such as cucumber, zucchini (courgettes), pumpkins and squash).
As a general rule, these are warm or temperate season plants which hate frost. In colder areas they should not be planted out until early summer, but will grow quickly. Do not be tempted to plant them out too soon – you will only be frustrated at their lack of inclination to thrive.
Leaf and stem vegetables.
This group includes vegetables such as cabbages, lettuce, brussel sprouts, rhubarb, chard (silverbeet), spinach and celery. Broccoli and cauliflower are also often included in this group, although strictly we eat the flower buds, not the leaves or stems.
This group includes a range of cool and temperate weather crops which are sown in the cooler winter months or early spring.
Root and bulb vegetables.
This group includes most of the kitchen staples such as onions, shallots, carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets. Again, this group tends to include mainly cool and temperate crops, which may run to seed if planted too late in the season.
Crop rotation
The key to successful crop rotation is to keep it simple. Unless you are a commercial gardener very few people have the time or inclination to prepare complex crop rotation plans year on year.
As I have far too many things on my ‘to do’ list as it is, I keep my planting schedule as simple as possible. My approach is to divide my beds up into blocks, and then plant only one vegetable category, such as bulb vegetables, or leaf vegetables, in each block. Then the next season I move all the plantings one block to the right, so I am now planting a different vegetable category in each block. This seems to have worked well so far!
If you follow this simple guide to vegetables you should have no trouble planning a successful, disease-resistant garden to feed you and your family year round!
An Open Letter To President Obama on Health Care Reform and What It Means To My Family

Mr. President:
I know that you are a very busy man so I will try to keep my questions about health care reform and the recently passed legislation as short and simple as possible.
- I could ask you why you think this is a good piece of legislation even though I truly believe that it will be a failure and will come very close to bankrupting the country. The basis for my conclusion has nothing to do with political partisanship (in fact, I have never voted for a Republican for national office in my life.) From my perspective, “Obama Care” never effectively addressed the root causes of our escalating health care costs: Americans eat too much of the wrong kinds of food, they exercise far too little, they are overweight, they smoke too much, and they are getting older. This legislation does not address these causes, it just raises taxes and moves money around within the bureaucracy. I could ask you about this but I will not.
- I could ask you why you have not stepped forward and denounced those in your party that have likened Americans like myself, i.e. those that have legitimate and honest concerns about this health care reform bill, to the racists who fought against the civil rights movement from the 1960s. I thought that we lived in a free country where citizens could freely address their elected representatives without being slurred in the most debasing way possible, just for having a different opinion. Your lack of fortitude to oppose those Democrats who frequently use the term “racist” to malign myself and those Americans expressing their honest opposition, cheapens the bravery and contributions of those from long ago that fought actual racism. I could ask you about this but I will not.
- I could ask you why you felt it necessary to pass this legislation by the back door called reconciliation. This is a major, major issue in the country that will affect every American for decades to come. Sneaking it in the back door, without using the traditional, time honored method of passing laws in his country, belittles the approach and makes it look like it was forced through without the full weight of the democratic process behind it. I could ask you about this but I will not.
Here is what I will ask you about. But first, some background facts:
- Let me reiterate that both my wife and myself have never voted for a Republican for national office in our lives.
- We both spent several decades of our lives working hard for AT&T, retiring several years ago, secure in our thinking that AT&T’s promise of health care benefits and coverage for our long years of service was a good bet.
- We both try to eat well, we exercise at our local YMCA on an almost daily basis, neither of us smoke, and we rarely drink. In other words, we take personal responsibility for our health and our health care.
One reason for our personal responsibility behavior is that we are on a high deductible insurance plan with AT&T. We are each responsible for the first ,200 of our annual health care costs before we get any insurance coverage at all. However, for this personal responsibility, we also pay nothing in annual premiums.
]]>
- During the debate leading up to the passage of health care reform, you reiterated more than once that those of us that currently had health care coverage would be able to keep it. However, in a recent article in Fortune magazine, the CEO of AT&T, Randall Stephenson, was interviewed (several pages of the article are attached). Towards the end of the interview, he was explicitly asked whether AT&T would consider dropping health care insurance coverage for its employees and retirees. His response made it clear that this was a very viable option for two reasons. First, from a business profitability perspective, under the new health care reform law, “you’re better off paying the government a fine and dropping health care coverage for your employees”, improving AT&Ts bottom line. Second, he talks about “economic gravity” which appears to be code words for “if others in his industry do it, AT&T will have no choice but to do it also.”
Thus, a few quick questions for you:
1) Were you just naive when you made the comments that we could all keep our current health care insurance, not realizing the simple fact that companies are in business to make money and if this bill makes it easier for them to make more money by not insuring their workforce, that is what they will do? Or were you being disingenuous, knowing that this would happen and deliberately misinforming the country to help get your health care reform bill passed? Naive or disingenuous, in either case you will be making millions of American voters unhappy in November and in 2012 when we are forced out of our current health care coverage and will blame you for either ignorance or arrogance in this situation.
2) I am 57 years old and my wife is 56 years old and if Mr. Stephenson does decide to terminate AT&T’s health care coverage for employees and retirees, where do you suggest that my wife and I get coverage? What insurance company is going to want to pick us up, and millions of other older Americans who lost their coverage, at our ages even though we are both healthy and taking personal responsibility for our continued good health?
3) If we are forced out onto the market for health care insurance coverage, our new coverage is likely going to be much more expensive. Our annual health care costs will go from a maximum of ,200 each to a minimum of several thousand dollars each. Is this how you planned to reduce health care costs for middle class America? Is so, then you need to explain the math to me. Maximum of ,200 to a minimum of several thousand dollars, does not make sense out here in the real world. How does this reduce the escalating health care costs for the 90% of Americans that already had health care insurance prior to the passage of this bill?
Thus, I am not going to ask you about why you and the rest of Congress did not address the root causes of high health care costs in your legislating process. I am not going to ask why you have sat back and been silent while those Americans with legitimate and honest dissent against this bill have been likened to racists by members of your party. I thought you represented all Americans, not just those that agreed with your policies. I will not ask you about why you did not have the courage and guts to pass this legislation the right way, through the front door like every other piece of legislation, but instead snuck it through the back door of reconciliation.
However, I will ask you or your staff to contact me and explain where and how I can get health care coverage at my age if AT&T and the rest of corporate America decides it is a better economic choice to pay a government fine than to cover their employees and retirees with health insurance. I will ask you to explain whether you were naive or disingenuous when explaining that we would be able to keep our current health insurance coverage. And finally, please explain how paying no more than ,200 a year under my current coverage (with many years paying nothing for coverage during healthy years) is a better deal then finding new coverage at my age and paying several thousand dollars a year for the privilege.
Although I have written to the White House many times, I have never received any answer to my questions on a wide variety of topics even though you promised to have the most open and responsive administration of all time. That has not happened yet. However, in this case I do require, in fact I demand specific answers to my three questions above. For your political sake I hope to receive those answers before early November and certainly before 2012.
Thank you for your time,
Walter “Bruno” Korschek
[Follow up note: a month after sending this to the White House, no answers to the questions have been received or even a simple confirmation that this letter was received has been forthcoming from the Obama adminstration.]

Posts Tagged ‘ Randall Stephenson and his wife Lenise ’ (1)One24- A Real At Home Retirement Plan

Finally there is a legitimate company out there that is offering all us work from home workers a real way to make enough money to be able to retire in 12-24 months.
Â
The name of the company is One24 and they are taking the work from home business environment by storm.
Â
Let me start explaining this company to you right from the start with the founder and his experience in business.
Â
His name is Mark Seyforth. He began in the health business back in the 70′s by starting a company along with Joe Perry called Seyforth Laboratories. What they created was the first milk shake diet in the united states and also the first multi level back in commissioning program. In just over 2 years they were over 100 million in sales.
Â
So how is this company going to help us all retire in 12-24 months? There are 2 reasons.
Â
Reason #1: The product is fantastic.
Reason #2: The way the payment process is set up.
Â
Let’s start with the product. The product is called NatraBurst and it is a health and wellness product. It is considered a super food. It is a powder that is packed full of all kinds of vitamins and antioxidants.
Â
Here are some of the benefits of NatraBurst:
Â
1) Each serving contains the equivalent of more than 6 servings of fruits and vegetables. It will increase energy, reduce appetite, strengthen immune function, promote fat loss and much more.
Â
2) NatraBurst has multiple uses. It can be taken between meals to suppress hunger or mixed with milk or water as a meal substitute.
Â
3) You save money. You would have to buy multiple products to equal everything that is in NatraBurst.
Â
Here’s a list of the different blends:
1) Protein Blend
2) Greens Blend
3) Antioxidant Blend
4) Digestive Blend
Â
Now each blend has many different types of nutrients. If you decide at the end of this article to view the website just click on the picture of NatraBurst and you can read everything about it.
Â
There are 3 sources of income with One24. Silver pc, Green pc and Gold pc.
]]>
Â
Let’s start with the silver pc.
Â
Silver pc’s are people who are above you in the company. As they sign people up those people go below you and you earn money from them. It is not a lot but it is income you are receiving for basically doing nothing which is nice. (By the way if I am not explaining this well you can watch the video’s on the website as Mark explains it 100% better than me).
Â
Green pc
Â
Here’s where we make most of our money. Once you join you will be issued 24 green tickets. What you do with these tickets is give them to other people to join. So if you have your fried “Mike” who wants to join you will give him a green ticket and he will join under you.
Â
You are only allowed to give 1 green ticket a month so any one else that wants to join gets put on your waiting list.
Â
Now when Mike signs up “Susie” Susie will also be under you. Susie signs up Todd who signs up Julie and so on. Once a Green always a Green.
Â
You make .50 on everyone under you. Now I know that doesn’t sound like much but if we all got 3 people to sign up and they all got 3 believe it or not you would make over 0,000 in 18 months. Again watch the video’s on the website and mark shows you how this happens.
Â
Heres the way it breaks down as far as how much you will make. Remember this is you signing up 3 people and they all sign up 3.
Month 1:
Month 2:
Month 3:
Month 4:
Month 5:
Month 6:
Month 7: 3
Month 8: 4
Month 9: 8
Month 10: 9
Month 11: ,655
Month 12: ,045
Month 13: ,603
Month 14: ,307
Month 15: ,959
Month 16: .872
Month 17: ,142
Month 18: 117,977
Â
So as you can see this is truly a way to retirement, but it is not overnight and you have to stick with it.
Â
Now for the Gold Rush.
Â
The gold rush starts on the 24th of each month. What this means is that if you have used your green ticket for the month and you have someone else that wants to join you can get them in.
Â
What you have to do is find someone in the company who hasn’t used their green ticket that month and use theirs. The ticket then becomes a gold ticket and you start another income stream based off the green income.
Â
Personally I believe that if you have a extra person that wants to join give them to anyone in your downline that hasn’t gotten anyone for that month. If we all did this our downlines would fill faster and we will all be at that monthly income just like i showed earlier.
Â
The cost is that includes shipping for a month supply of NatraBurst. All I ask people is this. Would you be willing to invest 0 to be able to make over 0,000 is 18 months? (it is only 0 because you earn more than the cost in 6 months). When they say yes make sure they know 3 people who would also want to do that and were all going to be able to retire in 12-24 months.
Â
Just remember this isn’t a get rich overnight company, but you are getting a great healthy product and working your way to a early retirement’
Â
To view the website click the link below. Once there watch the 4 videos and read up on the product. There is also a testimonial link. If you like what you see just click the “put me on the waiting list” button and I will contact you to see if you are ready to join.
Â
Also I really do give my downline any extra referralls I have as long as I have used my green ticket for the month. So you might be joining under someone else but you will still be in my downline.
Â
They also have great training webinars and podcasts to help you recruit people into the company.
Â
I hope I explained everything well enough for you but like I said watch the videos and you will learn everything you need to know.

Has Your Dog Got A Cold?

Did you know that even your dog health can suffer from cold? However, he doesn’t get a runny nose like you, but his dog health can get affected by a coughing infection generally known as Kennel cough. Kennel cough (medical term: canine infectious tracheobronchitis) is an infection that causes mild irritation due to the thickening of the trachea lining. Pet health care experts suggest that a dog who suffers from this disease may cough frequently. The frequency of coughing could be every few minutes as well as through the entire day. Pet health care experts have observed that dog cold does affect dog health as it is one of the most common infectious dog diseases, though in most cases the condition doesn’t develop into a serious dog health problem. It’s been observed that Kennel cough goes away on its own with a week or two.
Â
Causes of Kennel Cough
Bordatella bronchiseptica is the most common cause of this cough. This bacteria or virus is airborne and usually invades the dog’s body when he inhales infected air. The pet health care experts are of the opinion that dogs that participate in large canine gatherings such as dog or kennel shows tend to contract the Bordatella virus more.
]]>
Â
Symptoms of Kennel Cough
Some of the symptoms of Kennel cough affect dog health in the following ways:
Â
Dog tries to clears his throat every time it coughs
Dog coughs whenever he is participating in a physical activity such as exercising
Dog develops coughing almost a few weeks after he has been to a dog gathering and taken in virus-infected air
You dog coughs continuously and vomits food or mucus
Â
The color of the mucus indicates the seriousness of the dog health infection. White mucus means the infection is not serious, while green mucus means a very serious infection. If your dog is coughing hard and vomiting green mucus, you must take him to a pet health care expert immediately.
Â
Diagnosing Kennel Cough
A pet health care expert such as a veterinarian will check the dog health by rubbing his larynx. Sometimes, the vet may also ask you to get some tests done to ensure the extent of damage on the dog health.
Â
Home Treatment for Kennel Cough
You can protect the dog health from Kennel cough by ensuring his immune system stays strong. You have a choice of homeopathic as well as allopathic treatments to keep your dog ailment free. A dog cough suppressant can alleviate Kennel cough or dog cold and help your dog and your family sleep well at night.
Â
Remember, not to give your dog antibiotics if his appetite stays normal and the coughing is not frequently. In such cases, letting the disease complete its course is the best recourse. If the coughing lasts over 10 days, take the dog to the vet for a thorough check up to ensure best dog health.

Dog Health Food – Could Your Dachshund Be Getting Sick From Their Food?

Dog health food could add years to the life of your Dachshund. By making sure that your dog is not eating toxic additives they’ll have more energy and vitality.
With companies around the world looking for ways to increase their profits, you have to question if they are going to justify the expense of high quality ingredients. With many sources of cheap protein available now, who knows how it was produced, under what conditions and if it even has any real nutritional value for your dog?
With so many cases of profits being put before the health of humans, what is being done to our beloved dogs? By taking waste products from human food production and putting them in to dog food, there has been a huge increase in diet related health problems in recent years.
In 2007 over 100 different brands of dog food were recalled after contaminated ingredients caused the deaths of a number of dogs and made many more very ill. Eventually it was found to be melamine in rice protein and wheat gluten, from a factory in China. This means that there could be anything in your dog food no matter what the standards are in the US factory. Also there is very little nourishment in these grains for dogs. Usually it’s just a filler to add bulk to the food.
Recently there was a case of melamine being found in milk powder that had been produced under the much stricter human food production standards. This leads me to think that it’s only a matter of time before there’s another contaminated batch of dog food released, and I certainly don’t want to have my puppy suffer as a result of not taking action. We now need to be aware of how safe the food we are feeding to our dog is, not just if it has the right nutrition in it.
Now we have to have a look at the actual nutritional value of your dog food. More and more it’s becoming accepted practice to bulk out dog food with rice and corn proteins. These proteins are an unusable by product of the human food industry, until someone realised that they would fall under the definition of protein and could therefore be added to dog food. Now while there is nothing wrong with plant proteins, they simply give very little nutritional content for a dog. Even if they were whole proteins rather than the highly processed ones that are added, a very small amount would be sufficient for a dogs diet. Instead, often there is more plant protein than animal. This isn’t going to help your Dachshund stay healthy and free of disease.
These days fish protein is being hailed as a great source of nutrients, which may be true. But, along with that protein comes a carcinogenic preservative which has also been linked to severe allergies. So be wary of fish meal in your dog food
This is just the start of what could be going into the food that your Dachshund is eating every day. By learning about dog health food you could add years of life to your best friend. If you make it yourself you will know exactly what is in your dog’s food, and best of all it’s great fun.
