Trouble in Toyland
27th Annual Report Finds Dangers on Toy Shelves
The 2012 Trouble in Toyland report is the 27th annual Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG) survey of toy safety. In this report, MASSPIRG provides safety guidelines for consumers when purchasing toys for small children and provides examples of toys currently on store shelves that may pose potential safety hazards.
MASSPIRG Education Fund
The 2012 Trouble in Toyland report is the 27th annual Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG) survey of toy safety. In this report, MASSPIRG provides safety guidelines for consumers when purchasing toys for small children and provides examples of toys currently on store shelves that may pose potential safety hazards.
Over the past twenty-seven years, the MASSPIRG report has identified hazards in toys and children's products that could cause acute injuries, from small parts that pose a choking hazard, to strangulation hazards from cords on pull toys, to laceration hazards from edges that are too sharp, to toxic hazards posed by chemicals in toys. Our report has led to at least 150 recalls and other regulatory actions over the years, and has helped us educate the public and policymakers on the need for stronger public health and consumer safety standards and for stronger federal laws to protect children from unsafe products. This report continues to be an important endeavor in keeping children – particularly babies and toddlers – safe, as the majority of all injuries happen to children in the 0-2 age range.[i]
The enactment of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008 made great strides in toy safety and strengthened the ability of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to protect consumers, including the littlest consumers—children. Although policymakers delayed implementation of its most stringent lead standard rules and enacted some narrow exceptions in 2011, on the whole the law has been protected from attempts to undermine it. However, we remain vigilant as a variety of regulatory threats to the CPSC's tools and authority remain under consideration by policymakers.[ii]
We Looked For Common Hazards in Toys
We visited numerous national toy stores, malls and dollar stores in September, October, and November 2012 to identify potentially dangerous toys. Our researchers examined the CPSC notices of recalls and other regulatory actions to identify trends in toy safety. Our investigation is focused on toys that posed a potential toxic, choking, strangulation or noise hazard.
Our Key Findings Include:
Lead Continues to be a Hazard in Toys
Exposure to lead can affect almost every organ and system in the human body, especially the central nervous system. Lead is especially toxic to the brains of young children and can cause permanent mental and developmental impairments; it has no business being in children's products.
The current federal legal lead standard is 100 parts per million (ppm), though the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a lead limit of 40 ppm. We found one toy that violates the CPSC's lead standard of 100 ppm.
Phthalates in Toys
Numerous studies have documented the potential health effects of exposure to phthalates in the womb or in child development. U.S. EPA studies show the cumulative impact of different phthalates leads to an exponential increase in harm including premature delivery and reproductive defects.
The CPSIA permanently banned three phthalates from use in toys, and set temporary limits on three others, while tests continue. No toy or child care article can contain more than 1000 ppm of each of the six phthalates. Washington State has a stronger disclosure law than the federal standard, requiring the disclosure of any detectable level of phthalates.
Magnets in Toys
This year we are highlighting the continued dangers that magnet toys, such as the Buckyball magnets that are the subject of a CPSC court action, pose to children. These magnet toys are made with neodymium iron boron magnets. The magnets are extremely strong and can severely pinch fingers; worse, they can cause severe internal damage if swallowed. CPSC staff have estimated that between 2009 and 2011 there were 1,700 emergency room cases nationwide involving the ingestion of high powered magnets. More than 70% of these cases involved children between the ages of 4 and 12.
We found ellipsoid toy magnets that nearly fit in the small parts cylinder, and are classified as a novelty "finger-fidget" toy. These magnets are smooth and shiny and sold in pairs; striking them together causes them to vibrate and produce a singing sound, making them appealing to children. CPSC has reported gastroenterological injuries associated with these magnets.[iii] If the magnet had fit in the small parts test cylinder, it would be banned for sale to children under 14. These, instead, were labeled "4 and up."
Choking Hazards
Choking – on small toy parts, on small balls, on marbles and on balloons – continues to be the major cause of toy-related deaths and injuries. Between 1990 and 2011, over 200 children died from choking incidents.
This year we found several toys that contained small parts or "near small part" toys. The toys containing small parts contained improper labels and might be mistakenly purchased for children under 3. The toys containing near small parts support our long term principle that the small parts test should be made more protective by making the test cylinder larger.
We found small cars that included small parts (rubber traction bands on wheels) . Although the toy includes a statutory choke hazard warning and is labeled 4+, the tiny label may violate CPSC hazard warning rules.
We also found several dollar store toys, such as a small bowling ball and pin toy set with missing, obscured or tiny choke hazard warning labels. We also found some toy foods including both near small parts and other rounded ball-like foods that would fail the small ball test although they are technically subject to the less-stringent small parts test. Toy foods pose a special hazard, because they look to small children like something that should be eaten. Round toy food should be tested as if it is a ball, but the CPSC interprets the law differently.
Noisy Toys
Research has shown that a third of Americans with hearing loss can attribute it in part to noise.[iv] The third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey showed that one in five U.S. children will have some degree of hearing loss by the time they reach age 12. This may be in part due to many children using toys and other children's products such as music players that emit loud sounds.[v] The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders advises that prolonged exposure to noise above 85 decibels will cause gradual hearing loss in any age range.[vi]
We found two toys, a car driving wheel on a console and a toy guitar on store shelves that exceeded the recommended limit for continuous exposure of 85 decibels. We also found one close-to-the-ear toy, a cell phone, that exceeded the 65 decibel limit when measured with a digital sound level meter.
Recommendations for Policymakers
• Policymakers must ensure that the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is given the resources it needs to effectively protect consumers.
• Policymakers must also continue vigorous oversight of implementation and enforcement of the new law.
• Policymakers should require manufacturers to provide all hazard and health-impact information to the state and federal government so agencies can begin to assess the thousands of chemicals currently on the market for which little or inadequate data are available.
• There is overwhelming evidence showing that the Toxic Substances Control Act is failing our most vulnerable consumers: pregnant women, babies and children. Policymakers should take steps to ensure that the American people are better protected from toxins in products.
• Policymakers should reject well-funded special interest efforts to weaken the ability of regulatory agencies to conduct rulemakings or enforce rules designed to protect public health and safety.
For the Consumer Product Safety Commission
• The CPSC should review and, where necessary, expand its definition of a "small part" or "small toy" to include parts and toys that are larger than the current standard, but have been shown to pose a choking hazard to children.
• The CPSC should re-start its canceled rulemakings to regulate cadmium limits in children's jewelry.
• The CPSC should continue to proceed with rulemaking to regulate hazardous magnets in toys.
• The CPSC should vigorously enforce lead and phthalate limits in toys. The CPSC should also move to using the lead standard of 40 ppm recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
• The CPSC must ensure that new third-party testing programs meet CPSIA standards. As the CPSC continues to implement its new publicly accessible toy and other product incident database at www.saferproducts.gov, it must ensure that it provides the information consumers need to make informed choices in the marketplace.
For Consumers
Be vigilant this holiday season, and remember:
• The CPSC does not test all toys, and not all toys on store shelves meet CPSC standards.
• There is no comprehensive list of potentially hazardous toys. Examine toys carefully for potential dangers before you make a purchase. Shop with MASSPIRG's Toy Safety Tips available at www.toysafety.mobi and on our website.
• Parents should continue to be vigilant about metals in toys as they may contain lead or cadmium above the mandatory safety limits. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that all children be screened for exposure to lead. A simple and inexpensive blood test can determine whether or not a child has a dangerous level of lead in his or her body. The test can be obtained through a physician or public health agency.
• Report unsafe toys or toy-related injuries to the CPSC at www.cpsc.gov and www.saferproducts.gov or call the CPSC at 1-800-638-2772.

Twinkling city lights, raging wildfires and colorful auroras are lit up in new dazzling nighttime views of the Earth.
The new images released Wednesday are courtesy of a newly launched NASA-NOAA satellite that's equipped with a sensor to observe the planet at night.
There's the Nile River bathed in city lights. A map of the United States shows the populated East Coast illuminated. Light from fishing boats can be pinpointed.
The satellite also captured the glow from natural sources including moonlight, northern lights and naturally-occurring fires.
After Superstorm Sandy made landfall in late October, hard-hit New Jersey, lower Manhattan and the Rockaways appeared dark in the satellite images compared with surrounding areas — the result of widespread power outages.

The domain within your query sequence starts at position 1325 and ends at position 1362; the E-value for the LDLa domain shown below is 1.66e-10.
LDLaLow-density lipoprotein receptor domain class A |
SMART accession number: | SM00192 |
Description: | Cysteine-rich repeat in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor that plays a central role in mammalian cholesterol metabolism. The N-terminal type A repeats in LDL receptor bind the lipoproteins. Other homologous domains occur in related receptors, including the very low-density lipoprotein receptor and the LDL receptor-related protein/alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor, and in proteins which are functionally unrelated, such as the C9 component of complement. Mutations in the LDL receptor gene cause familial hypercholesterolemia. |
Interpro abstract (IPR002172): | This entry represents the LDLR class A (cyateine-rich) repeat, which contains 6 disulphide-bound cysteines and a highly conserved cluster of negatively charged amino acids, of which many are clustered on one face of the module [ (PUBMED:7603991) ]. In LDL receptors, the class A domains form the binding site for LDL and calcium. The acidic residues between the fourth and sixth cysteines are important for high-affinity binding of positively charged sequences in LDLR's ligands. The repeat consists of a beta-hairpin structure followed by a series of beta turns. In the absence of calcium, LDL-A domains are unstructured; the bound calcium ion imparts structural integrity. Following these repeats is a 350 residue domain that resembles part of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) precursor. Numerous familial hypercholestorolemia mutations of the LDL receptor alter the calcium coordinating residue of LDL-A domains or other crucial scaffolding residues. The low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) is the major cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein of plasma, acting to regulate cholesterol homeostasis in mammalian cells. The LDL receptor binds LDL and transports it into cells by acidic endocytosis. In order to be internalized, the receptor-ligand complex must first cluster into clathrin-coated pits. Once inside the cell, the LDLR separates from its ligand, which is degraded in the lysosomes, while the receptor returns to the cell surface [ (PUBMED:3513311) ]. The internal dissociation of the LDLR with its ligand is mediated by proton pumps within the walls of the endosome that lower the pH. The LDLR is a multi-domain protein, containing:
LDLR is closely related in structure to several other receptors, including LRP1, LRP1b, megalin/LRP2, VLDL receptor, lipoprotein receptor, MEGF7/LRP4, and LRP8/apolipoprotein E receptor2); these proteins participate in a wide range of physiological processes, including the regulation of lipid metabolism, protection against atherosclerosis, neurodevelopment, and transport of nutrients and vitamins [ (PUBMED:17457719) ]. |
GO function: | protein binding (GO:0005515) |
Family alignment: |
There are 170761 LDLa domains in 37441 proteins in SMART's nrdb database.

While sunlight is a beautiful thing, too much of anything can be harmful. Sunglasses can prevent sun damage to the eyes, improve vision and make a unique fashion statement.
Much like our skin becomes sunburn, overexposure to the sun's ultraviolet, or UV radiation can cause a variety of eye problems, including cataracts, macular degeneration, non-cancerous growths on the surface of the eye and even cancer of the eye and eyelids.
To protect your eyes and your vision, it is important to wear sunglasses when outside enjoying the sunshine. Ask your eye care professional to make sure your sunglasses provide 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays.
Sunglasses are available with or without a prescription and are often available with polarized lenses. Light reflected from surfaces such as a flat road or smooth water generally is horizontally polarized. Polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks this type of intense reflected light, reducing glare for your eyes.
Polarized lenses have been popular for years with boaters and fishermen who need to reduce reflected glare from the water surrounding them. Outdoor enthusiasts who have also benefited the most from polarized lenses include skiers, bikers, golfers and joggers, all who may enjoy a clearer view along with elimination of glare.
Ask Drs. Kohli M.D. or Iverson O.D. to make sure your sunglasses provide 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays.

In academic institutions these facilities are built to enhance the children's running, jumping along with throwing, and even multi-activity participation into athletics. Primary components usually consist of things such as -
More often than not a single track can be used for multisports with many other activities including relay games, long jump and bleep tests. For academic institutions with a small space or funds, this is the best alternative to a full-sized running track.
A good reason why getting a multi sports space set up is beneficial for the students is simply because it allows them to try various activities and find one which they like, that can steer them to further opportunities later in life. A serious problem in the present sports supply is a scarcity of developing facilities which are suitable for a beginner and young people at the beginning of the athlete enhancement model.
Many experts have recommended these sports need to be made accessible to kids from who are only in primary school Key Stage 1 up to secondary school. A brand new sporting model has been produced by UKA, allowing small children to gain access to athletics facilities. This gives a cost-effective, versatile, beginners level option which utilizes pleasing layouts and colours created to catch the attention of new participants.
A compact athletic facility can be installed to fit almost any site and spending budget, and enable important sports & athletics skills to be taught and practised, enjoyed and then developed. Discus circles, jogging straights along with jumping lanes are among a few of the more popular aspects of these kinds of recreational surfaces. We are able to adjust the dimensions of each and every installation to fit the room on site.
Compact athletics facilities are flexible, which enables them to be utilized for a range of organisations. For many projects, present sports and playgrounds may be improved in academic institutions to create a more diverse athletics provision. By taking part in different sports and athletics events, young people from Key Stage 1-4 all can improve leaning and physical fitness skills.
A primary reason you should update your facility would be to inspire kids to engage with these sporting activities. For any institution hoping to keep costs down and stick inside a budget, the compact recreational products provide an efficient option. If you'd like the children at your establishment to build on physical education skills, it is suggested that you get a compact facility put in as FUNdamentals are introduced.

The sports and athletics sector refers to the Amateur Athletic Association as AAA. AAA was the body in charge of athletics prior to UK Athletics. As opposed to governing athletics, AAA currently represents the volunteer section. Many schools, as well as other establishments throughout the UK, work with the AAA sport surfaces.
The AAA offers open forums, arranging contests that will help with the development of young sports athletes. The AAA has produced these events in order to act as developmental tools for grassroots and also to allow children to improve in later life.
The history of the sport has additionally been protected with the help of the AAA. Furthermore, it presents its historical and valued trophies to elite athletes. The goals of the sports market are to grow enthusiasm and also to support in the progression of younger athletes.
As a result of the sugar tax sports funding being introduced to combat childhood obesity, a number of new sporting facilities are going to be built in primary schools. The extra money generated will be put towards funding new athletics facilities for schools in order to increase children's activity and tackle growing levels of obesity.
Giving kids a chance to participate in sports using top quality outdoor features is extremely important for promoting health and maintaining active lifestyles. A high jump fan could be one of the products which are built through this funding scheme to get pupils involved in a new athletic event.
As a way of increasing participation levels of contribution in sports and athletics with youngsters the AAA operate National Championships in educational institutions across the UK. When possible they'll fund cash to such events for athletics equipment as well as sponsorship.

Performances in previous years are utilized to develop these standards; this then generates 4 grades where the best sports athletes could fall into. The overall performance standards for the athletics events are created by databases of info collated through the years which is modified every two years.

Cervical Screening: Smear Tests
Women aged between 24 and 64 should have a cervical screening every 3 to 5 years to help prevent cervical cancer. The screening is quick and painless and can be done here in the practice.
If you are aged over 24 and have never had a smear test, or if it has been more than 3 to 5 years since your last screening, you should arrange an appointment with our Practice Nurse. You should not have the test while you are having a period or in the 4 days before or after your period as this can affect the sample.
What is cervical screening?
Cervical screening is not a test for cancer. It is a method of preventing cancer by detecting and treating early abnormalities which, if left untreated, could lead to cancer in a woman's cervix (the neck of the womb).
A sample of cells is taken from the cervix for analysis. A doctor or nurse inserts an instrument (a speculum) to open the woman's vagina and uses a spatula to sweep around the cervix. Most women consider the procedure to be only mildly uncomfortable.
Early detection and treatment can prevent 75 per cent of cancers developing but like other screening tests, it is not perfect. It may not always detect early cell changes that could lead to cancer.
Who is eligible for cervical screening?
All women between the ages of 25 and 64 are eligible for a free cervical screening test every three to five yearsThe NHS call and recall system invites women who are registered with a GP. It also keeps track of any follow-up investigation, and, if all is well, recalls the woman for screening in three or five years time. It is therefore important that all women ensure their GP has their correct name and address details and inform them if these change.
Women who have not had a recent test may be offered one when they attend their GP or family planning clinic on another matter. Women should receive their first invitation for routine screening at 25.
Why are women under 25 not invited?
This is because changes in the young cervix are normal. If they were thought to be abnormal this could lead to unnecessary treatment which could have consequences for women's childbearing. Any abnormal changes can be easily picked up and treated from the age of 25. Rarely, younger women experience symptoms such as unexpected bleeding or bleeding after intercourse. In this case they should see their GP for advice.
Why are women over 65 not invited?
Women aged 65 and over who have had three consecutive negative results are taken out of the call recall system. The natural history and progression of cervical cancer means it is highly unlikely that such women will go on to develop the disease. Women aged 65 and over who have never had a test are entitled to one.
The NHS Cervical Screening Programme invites all women between the ages of 25 and 64 for cervical screening. But if a woman has never been sexually active with a man, then the research evidence shows that her chance of developing cervical cancer is very low indeed. We do not say no risk, only very low risk. In these circumstances, a woman might choose to decline the invitation for cervical screening on this occasion. If a woman is not currently sexually active but has had male partners in the past, then we would recommend that she continues screening.

Remodeling a home is a dream for many, but what if you run into an issue you didn't plan? We've compiled a list of seven potential issues that should take priority if you should find them during your remodel. While you had perhaps planned on those fancy new bath fixtures or that gorgeous lighting, remember that these seven problems can lead to major property damage and health issues.
Most of these issues also need to be disclosed to insurance providers, home inspectors and future buyers. If you skimp on repairs here, you'll pay for it later. It could be an increase in your insurance or a lower price for your home when it comes time to sell.
7 Must-Do Renovations
1. Damage to the Foundation
A new foundation can cost $40,000 or more, so fixing problems, even if they seem insignificant, is a big cost-saver in the long run. Cracks and fractures on outside walls or in your basement, sagging floors, buckling walls and moisture or mold could be signs of a larger problem.
Damage to your home's foundation can cause problems you might not expect. If you notice doors and windows are not closing properly, they may be misaligned due to the foundation shifting. Tree roots and large shrubs, erosion and extremely wet or dry conditions can also cause problems for the base of your home. Even burrowing animals like moles can damage your foundation by loosening the dirt around the house.
2. Termite Damage
Termites can do major damage to a home, so seek immediate treatment when you notice the smallest sign of infestation, such as wings shed by the insects, tubes through the wood or any other unexplained damage. Attics, crawl spaces and anywhere with substantial woodwork are the most likely spots to find termites.
Unfortunately, termite damage can often go unseen for years as the insects weaken support beams, floor and ceiling joists, posts and studs. Homes of any age are vulnerable, so don't make the mistake of thinking that a home is too new for termites, or that an older home has survived long enough to be "termite-proof."
3. Old Wiring
Homes built during the late 1800s through the 1930s often utilized knob-and-tube wiring, meaning single wires insulated by a rubber or cloth sleeve.
Compared to modern wiring standards, knob-and-tube wiring leaves a lot to be desired. Chief among the problems is the fact that the system doesn't use a grounding conductor, so three-pronged appliances can't be used. The wires also dissipate heat into the air, which can cause a fire hazard if the wires are near insulation.
Because knob-and-tube wiring is so old, if you find it in your home it's likely that it has been modified over the years, upping the odds that something can go wrong. The wiring just wasn't designed for the electrical requirements of modern homes, so running too many appliances can overload the system much more easily than with modern wiring.
4. Mold
Just like termites, mold can do unseen damage to your home for years. Beyond that, it can be a health threat, causing respiratory problems and a host of other health issues.
Mold often grows behind walls, drywall and wallpaper, or in spots where water has accumulated over the years. The smell of mold or mildew may be the only sign that something is wrong. If you see mold, take action immediately. Even a small amount of visible mold may be the result of large patches hidden behind walls, the ceiling or under floors. Look for water stains or discoloration for an idea of where the problem areas may be.
Running dehumidifiers in the basement or other damp areas can help prevent the formation and spread of mold.
If you want to verify the presence of mold, there are mold kits available at most hardware stores.
5. Leaks
Leaks can be a source of mold in your home, as well as many other issues. An old roof, foundation damage, old pipes or even bad drainage in your yard could lead to water damage in your home.
If your roof leaks, the water is likely rotting wood, staining walls and creating ideal mold conditions on its way down. Similarly, leaking pipes may be damaging the nearest walls, floors and ceilings.
Keep an eye on hoses for washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters and refrigerators to make sure you catch any wear or damage early. Make sure areas with water pipes are getting enough warmth, or insulate the pipes to prevent them from freezing.
6. The Roof
Roofs can last anywhere from 15 to 40 years, and since they last so long, a new one is pricey. A new roof can run from $5,000 to $25,000 or more, so you want to make sure you take good care of yours.
Near the end of a roof's lifespan, it's more likely to leak. But there are other issues that can damage your roof. In colder climates, ice dams are caused by poorly-insulated roofs and can damage the roof by expanding below shingles and into existing cracks. Ice dams can form on old and new roofs, depending on the heat radiating through the roof.
Watch for leaks inside, as well as torn, cracked or missing shingles outside. If a roof is more than 20 years old, it's likely you need a replacement. If the roof is 10-15 years old, you might be able to get by with repairs to a section.
7. Asbestos
In older homes, this form of insulation can sometimes be found tucked away in attics, behind walls or wrapped around pipes. If you're tearing out walls and find asbestos insulation, stop work immediately to deal with the hazardous material.
As a carcinogen, asbestos is a major health concern. When asbestos ages, it begins to flake and can release asbestos flakes into the air. If you inhale the flakes, it can cause cancerous mesothelioma.
If you suspect there is asbestos in your home, the first step is hiring a certified asbestos professional to test samples. If asbestos is present, a contractor can remove it or encase it, which is sometimes safer. Between inspection and removal, asbestos-related costs can range from $600 to $4,000.
Everyone hopes for an easy project when remodeling their home, but surprises are bound to come up. What might seem like a straightforward remodel could reveal unexpected expenses lurking in your home. For more information on ways to keep you and your family safe, check out our monthly newsletter. It's full of helpful tips and need-to-know facts! Click below to learn more.

And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city. 9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. 11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. 14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles� hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. 25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Lone Peak
"Your grandfather has decided to go on hospice," my Mom told me as I ducked outside the office with my cell phone.
"And his treatments?"
"Those are going to end," she said.
It meant my grandfather had made the most difficult decision of his life, the decision that meant his life. It meant that one thing that none of us were willing to voice, but we could say enough to acknowledge that there wasn't much time. It meant that weekend plans and a few tanks of gas didn't matter so much. I wrapped up my work at the office and hit the road Friday evening.
In my memory, my Grandpa Homer will always be a robust 60-year-old, swinging an ax in front of a massive pile of logs. I admit I cannot recognize him at 80, pale and gaunt, with scabbed skin stretched across his bones as he struggles to sit up in his chair. Disease stole his strength but not his spirit. I still see it in his eyes, sparkling with the peace of acceptance, but also flecked with fears for the unknown. My grandfather lived a good life, but a good life can never be complete. He reaches out and lets me wrap my arms around his thin shoulders. I'm so happy his pain has subsided enough that I can hug him, perhaps for the last time.
Grandpa Homer owned property in the mountains. As a child I would skulk through the aspen groves and marvel that my grandpa could actually own a place as wild as this. At camp he built massive fires. He doused a giant stack of logs with gasoline and ignited the inferno with the flick of a match. The 10-foot-high flames filled me with wonder, and a tinge of pride, because going big was the Homer Way.
On Sunday, asleep in my old bedroom, I don't want to wake up. My mind swims with memories — some wistful, others sad. The alarm goes off 7 a.m., and again at 8, and then again at 9. At 10:20 I finally roll out of bed. I open the front door to a chilly blast of wind and look bleary-eyed at the towering massif that looms over my childhood home, the most prominent feature of a hundred memories of walking to school — Lone Peak. The previous night, I had thought a lot about climbing that mountain, but my late start precluded what promised to be a daylong adventure. Still, I think I can hike part of the trail. Perhaps to a cabin near the halfway point.
I drive two miles to what can best be considered a trailhead — a park located on the edge of the city of Draper, but still in town, elevation 4,500 feet. Far above the park, at a distance so close it can't be seen from the bottom, the 11,250-foot peak rises like a giant startled from a long sleep — abruptly and angrily. I follow a trail that cuts a deeply eroded scar up the hillside. Charcoaled skeletons of scrub oak rise from the yellow grass; they're all that remains of a forest recently scoured by fire. Absent trees, the trail is washed in views. I glance over my shoulder and take note of the many pieces of my past — there's Indian Hills Middle School. There's the building that used to be the Albertson's where I bagged groceries. There's the grassy bluff we used to tumble down after school. I glance at my watch. 11:35 a.m. I really should be home by six because my sister is coming to dinner, but perhaps … perhaps. I push harder, taking faster, longer steps up the slope. My heart rate skyrockets and my head spins. I'm completely maxed out, moving as fast as I physically can, even though I'm still walking. Between ragged breaths I catch glimpses of the Salt Lake Valley, with the pieces of my past fading into the abstraction of distance.
From the seat of his idling motorcycle, Grandpa Homer scooped me up off the ground with one arm and plopped me down in front of him. "Keep your feet away from the engine," he told me, and I held my bare legs like rigid poles in front of me. Grandpa gunned the throttle and motorcycle's wheels spun forward in a cloud of dust and gravel. The aspen groves blurred beside us as we rocketed toward the sky. I grinned and sharp wind needled through my missing teeth until it pierced my throat. The sensation tickled and I squealed uncontrollably, because I knew, really knew, what it felt like to fly.
The elevation disappears behind me. My leg muscles throb with acid and hot blood, but I feel so strong and alive that I can't imagine slowing down. I come to a trail junction and turn left, dropping into a cool, forested canyon. About three quarters of a mile down the trail, I meet a man who tells me I won't find the Outlaw Cabin in the canyon, so I turn around and return to the open hillside. I cut my own route because the only other way is down. I crest a broad knoll and the granite spires of Lone Peak suddenly rise into view.
My parents went out of town for a week and my sisters and I went to stay with my grandparents. I came down with the flu, so sick I couldn't even stand to go to the bathroom, and I writhed on the couch with sweat-crusted hair stuck to my cheeks. Grandpa brought me a glass of Sprite. "Is it medicine?" I asked him. "It's better than medicine," he replied, "because it tastes like candy and will make you feel better." I took a tiny sip and felt the cold liquid crackle in my throat. Grandpa was right.
I start jogging toward the mountain, taking thick breaths full of yearning. I have no idea how much time it will really take to reach the peak. It looks close enough to touch, and far enough to be a jet in the sky. The trail butts up against a granite wall and fades in the rocks. I follow scattered cairns along the rocky drainage, but lose track of them amid a sea of stones. I keep my eye on the peak and head straight toward it. There's no route like the most direct one. I scramble up a tiered pile of massive boulders — a staircase fit for a sleeping giant.
I hoist myself up the final pitch and crawl into the giant's shadow. I have climbed thousands of feet and it's still as massive as ever, more massive than ever, blotting out half the sky. In front of me, the cirque is filled to the brim with jumbled boulders. Some are the size of houses, with crevices that could swallow a human whole, never to be found. I groan. This is clearly not the right way. I begin scrambling across the boulder field like a clumsy spider, rolling my ankle on razor-sharp rock edges and creeping around the human-eating crevices. At this point, I'm just looking for a way out, but there's not one in sight — only the towering fortress and its minefield of obstacles. "Why do I always have to get myself lost?" I grumble. "Why am I so completely inept?"
I have to climb over a couple of minor ridges, but I finally reach the base of the mountain at 3 p.m. I try not to think about the time. Even if I turn around now, it's still unlikely I'll make it home by 6, but I'm so close now, so close. "I can run down," I justify. I launch myself up the wall as fast as my arms can lift me. My biceps burn from an afternoon already full of scrambling, but at least this final scramble was expected. I've been breathing so hard for so long that my throat burns, and it hurts to swallow, and the air is getting mighty thin, but I'm so close now. Closer than I ever expected to be. Endorphins course through my veins and my heart sings. I am free, independent and strong. I never feel so alive as I do when I am alone and elated.
The wind that has been howling all day hits gale force at the ridge. Gusts up to 50 mph tear around me and I drop to my hands, moving like a monkey over the narrow knife-edged ledge. Fear starts to gurgle up. I scramble up the final ramp rock and barely touch the table-sized peak before scrambling back down. I scoot along the exposed ledge as my heart beats louder and louder. My head spins faster, my vision begins to blur and the edges turn black. My breaths become short and a wave of nausea sweeps over me. I drop to my knees, clutching at nothing on the smooth face of a chair-sized rock and staring in horror over the precipice. The sea of boulders appears to be churning in the cirque, a thousand feet directly below. I can't move. I'm paralyzed. Vertigo. "Not now," I whisper. "Not now." I try to recapture my breath. I remind myself this fear is irrational. I appeal to humor, that I certainly didn't inherit my vertigo from the Homer side of the family. Grandpa used to say, "When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for the Homers." I scramble a few tentative feet, then a few more, until my back is pressed up against the chimney-sized spire of the false summit.
I was 12 when Grandpa built his cabin. He started from nothing, dug a foundation, poured the concrete, erected the framing. My grandpa could do everything, and never asked anybody for anything. My aunts and uncles had to practically beg him to let us help. I went up one day to help lay the floor. He showed me how to use a caulking gun. I vowed that one day, I would learn how to build a house. I hoped my grandpa would teach me.
Tears fill my eyes. I know the worst is over, but I can't help myself. I never feel so lonely as I do when I'm alone and afraid. I just want to see somebody, anybody, just so I know I'm not the only person perched on this wind-blasted vertical moonscape. But it's 4 p.m. and no one is left on the peak. I haven't seen anybody for hours. I think about the notepad in my backpack. I carry it with me sometimes to write down thoughts. I take it out and rip a corner off a sheet of paper. On the scrap, I write a note to my grandpa.
"Dear Grandpa Homer,
Thank you for your love, your example and your kindness. Thank you for everything you've done for me. I love you. ...
I stick the pen in my mouth and in nervousness chew the end right off. Then I remember to add, "Please don't be afraid.
Love, Jill."
I muster up the courage to stand and face the full brunt of the wind. It roars in my face as I hold the note to my side and release it to the gale. I turn around quickly but I don't see it go.
Grandpa Homer comes from a long tradition of fierce independence. His parents toiled in the fields of Cache Valley during the Depression. One set of grandparents crossed the Atlantic from Sweden; others before them walked across the Great Plains when there was nothing on the other side. Grandpa started working at age 11; he had a high standing in his church, raised six children, cultivated a large garden, rebuilt motors, raised cows. He had several dozen grandchildren and treated us all like we were special, like we were somebody, like we could grow up to be anything we wanted to be. I never really imagined what it would be like, the day my grandpa stopped being Superman. I wonder if he ever imagined what it would be like, himself.
It's after 4 p.m. when I start making my way down. I realize losing more than 7,000 feet of pure elevation in less than two hours is a near-impossibility, but I have to try. I scuttle down the ridge using the small, quick, feather-weight steps I've been trying to practice, and increase my stride to a loping jog in the cirque. I find the right drainage and plunge down a smooth granite chute. I remember my Dad's stories about dropping too low too soon and do everything I can to hug the wall, scrambling over and down minor ridges. I see a faint trail and follow it along a ridge until it begins dropping into the next canyon. The wrong canyon. Gaaa! I don't know where I am. Was I supposed to drop sooner? How much sooner? How will I hook up with the right drainage? What if I end up in American Fork, in the entirely wrong county? Why am I always getting lost? Why am I so completely helpless when left to my own devices? I start sprinting down the rock slope. I suck in erratic gulps of air. I can't help it. I hate being lost. I run and run, and every time I hit the mildest of upward inclines, my heart shoots to the redline. I am becoming very tired. Very worn down. I was too ambitious. Too selfish. But I can't stop now.
It's too hard now, not to think about the end. I can believe that my grandpa isn't afraid, but I have to admit that I am. Everything that makes me who I am is wrapped up in the people, and the moments, that all seem to slip away before I'm ready. Life sometimes moves in fast-forward motion, spinning in a blur of color and noise. In my dizziness I look to the past for clarity, only to acknowledge that those moments are gone.
I bee-line in my preferred direction until I find a trail, and take it until I find familiar landmarks. Back on known ground, everything that was holding my effort together seems to disintegrate. I climbed too hard, too fast, for too long, and I didn't eat enough, and I didn't drink enough, and now my body no longer wants to listen to me. I eat a Honey Stinger bar and slow back to a walk. The Salt Lake Valley is bathed in golden evening light, and behind me dark clouds gather around Lone Peak. The wind finally sputters and fades, and the air becomes eerily calm. It's 6:45 as I approach Draper City - late but hopefully not too late to see my sister. My iPod clicks over to a sad song. I feel a tear gathering beneath my eye. I think about letting it go, but as soon as I notice it, there's nothing left. I left it all on the mountain.

Oh Jill you've done it again, marvelous post! I cried a bit looking at your pic at the summit, as your eyes show the pain of your loss.

Rather interesting site you've got here. Thanks the author for it. I like such topics and anything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read a bit more soon.
Hilary Benedict I hope all this was as cathartic to first experience, then write about in real life as it seems here.
I'm sorry it's tough times right now for you. I'm a big believer in the idea that there are messages being delivered to us (From who? Who the heck knows, maybe just our own brain tissues.) through the good and bad shit of life, that there is much to learn from them.
It's very powerful to read about someone muddling through the raw emotions, as painful as it all is, because, most times, processing all this allows the message to shine through.

Thank you for this beautiful post which touched me very deeply as I read it today. One year ago today I lost my father at the age of 68 to prostate cancer. My day has been spent with wonderful memories of him. Thank you once again.
ReplyDelete When I went to see grandpa last month, I promised myself I would always remember him with a tool belt strapped to him, balancing on the roof of the cabin before it was completed. That is Grandpa Homer. That is how he will forever be remembered in my mind. Despite his condition now, I will always remember him being Superman too. Glad you got to spend the weekend in Utah. Miss you sister.
I'm glad you didn't end up in American Fork!
You have such an amazing memory. Nothing can really make it better, but perhaps it will sooth your heartache down the line to know that your grandfather will no longer be in pain.
Congratulations on finishing your second book! All the luck in the world to you. Not sure that you need it, though. The adventure continues!Wow, here I am crying for you, all the way on the other side of the ocean. So sad to read about your Grandfather, whom you so obviously take after... Take care, stay safe & god speed. He won't be afraid upthere, and neither should you be ever again, 'cause he's there with you, guiding you and looking out for you.

Thanks for sharing this, and sharing it like you did. Just lost my grandfather and your walk through your past helped remind me of the good ol' days.
I hope you keep up your exploration and your writing. You've been a source of courage and inspiration in my lowest times.
Thank you. - AnonymousNovember 29, 2017 at 9:35 PM
I had to dig out this post I first read a couple of years ago. My grandfather is going through the last phase of his life right now. Your writing of the same experience brings some comfort to me.
