Your Doctor’s Notes Online

You know when you go to the doctor’s office, you see your doctor scribbling notes about different things relating to your health. Sometimes they’re writing prescriptions, sometimes jotting down your height and weight. Do you ever wonder what those little scribbles say?

Oil Spill Volunteer / Donation Information

Things I wanted to write about today: Certain Hollywood starlets being sent to the slammer, the ending to the movie “Inception”, the Phillies current performance making me lose my appetite. However, none of these things make the rankings on the USA.gov FAQ page of the most searched topics by citizens.

Elderly & Disabled Housing Assistance

Home, it’s more than brick-and-mortar, wood, or even blocks of ice shaped in a dome! Home is your place, your retreat from the world, your sanctuary for the soul. For me, home is all of those things and toilets to clean, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Everyone should have an opportunity to live in a decent, affordable home.

Passport Fee Increase

I got my first passport when I was fifteen and going on a school trip to England and France. This means I spent the following 10 years flashing a picture of me in braces and with hair styling fresh from basketball practice. When it was due for renewal I snickered when I realized that renewing my passport actually cost me more than applying for one originally.

Cash for Your Appliances

In March, I told you a number of states and territories were starting to offer rebates to residents who bought energy-efficient appliances with the energy star label . The rebates are part of the $300 million Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program which is sponsored by the Department of Energy and more commonly referred to as “Cash for Appliances.” Now, almost every U.S. state and territory is offering appliance rebates through this program.

Who will offer VOD?

Video on Demand is inherently an add on service of a TV service provider. As TV services started traversing over IP, the telecom and Internet service providers became TV service providers as well. So they also started offering VoD as a value added service over their IPTV platforms.

What? No More Coffee and Chocolate?

One of my two year old’s favorite tricks is when I make his toy caterpillar turn into a toy butterfly under a dishtowel cocoon. He squeals with glee every time the butterfly emerges from the dishtowel! (You have to love inspiration from The Very Hungry Caterpillar .) Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that the real things are hard to spot these days. Research bears this out: many species of butterflies, moths, birds, bats, and domesticated honey bees and other pollinators are declining

Preventing Hearing Loss

It drives me nuts when I’m sitting on the train and I can hear the music blaring from another person’s iPod. It’s just plain rude to be playing your music so loudly that it disrupts the rest of the train. But even if those people aren’t considerate of others, shouldn’t they at least care about the damage they are doing to their own hearing

Time to Save for Holiday Shopping

I read a interesting blog post from the Baltimore Sun recently about a holiday savings program Toys R Us is starting. The idea of the program is to encourage people to start saving for their holiday shopping now, so that buying presents won’t be as much of a burden later in the year. While it’s great that a store is encouraging people save money for big purchases, the author of the blog post points out that you may get a better return on your investment from a bank or other type of savings plan
