Facing your fears at 40Women on both sides of 40 talk about the joys, challenges, and surprises that come with this milestone birthday.
By Emily Listfield
What mature 40-something is afraid to drive? Um, that would be me.
A few months after my 17th birthday, I was in a horrendous car accident. I wasn't driving, and it was no one's fault — but on a dark, rainy night on an unlit country road, my boyfriend and I descended a 40-foot ravine upside down. Luckily, except for concussions and some stitches, we were both all right. For months after, I shook just getting into the passenger's seat. I had already gotten my learner's permit, but the prospect of driving now terrified me.
Over time, the fear hardened into a real phobia. Driving, such an integral part of the American lifestyle and psyche, seemed completely beyond me. After college, I moved back to my native New York City, where it is easy to navigate by mass transit. Nevertheless, I was embarrassed not only by my inability to drive but also by my failure to conquer the fear that was at its root. To a large degree, that anxiety informed my self-image. (Hi, my name is Emily, and I don't drive.) The fact that I couldn't bring myself to attempt getting behind the wheel surely represented a weakness in my character.
At 30, determined to vanquish my fear of driving, I took lessons. With my instructor by my side, I crawled through the streets of New York, never going faster than 3 miles a hour — and even then I was white-knuckling it. Still, I managed to get my license. Three months later, I got married — and my husband (at my urging) did all of the driving for the next decade.
A few weeks before my 40th birthday, I got a writing assignment that required me to go to California. Though I had traveled on business alone before, I had stuck to cities where cabs were available. (Never mind necessity; fear is the true mother of invention.) This time, the person I had to interview could be reached only by driving. I asked my husband to join me and tried to sell it as a mini vacation (my mom would watch our daughter), but we both knew what I was really angling for: a chauffeur.
Though he was swamped at work, my husband agreed. (He had, over the years, tried with a heroic degree of patience to encourage me to drive, until finally, to my relief, he gave up.) I felt guilty — and worse, childlike and ridiculous. I had never imagined that I would be so dependent at this stage in my life. I had to conquer this fear once and for all. I decided the best 40th-birthday present I could give myself was another round of driving lessons. My instructor assured me that he'd had "cases" like me before and had gotten them over their drive-o-phobia. I so wanted to be his next success story.
A week before my birthday, my husband and I flew to San Francisco. We had agreed that he would stay in the city visiting with friends while I drove the 25 miles north to do the interview. As I took the rental-car keys from him, every cell in my body was urging me to say, "No, please, I can't do it, you drive." But I was determined to enter the next decade of my life free of this absurd fear. As I made it over the Golden Gate Bridge, a wary optimism began to settle in. I blasted the radio, feeling very powerful, very "I am woman, hear me roar." The future opened up before me, mine for the taking.
That should be the end of the story. Victory. Driving lesson learned. But if it's possible for 50 miles on a sunny California road to leave you with post-traumatic stress disorder, that's what happened. Once I got back into town and parked the car, I broke into a cold sweat. All those cars speeding down the highway, all that potential loss of control — I never wanted to do it again. I limped into our hotel lobby and ordered a (huge) glass of wine while I waited for my husband to return. Yes, I had done it — and the fear was now stronger than ever.
I had imagined the evening would be a celebration of my newfound freedom. Instead, all I wanted was to crawl into bed and hide from the world. This, of course, would ruin both my and my husband's night. I realized suddenly that I had a choice, not just about the evening but about my life. Yes, the wine was kicking in, but that doesn't make the realization any less valid: I could continue to allow my fear to eat away at me, or I could accept it as just one component of my personality, put it in its place, and go have some fun.
In that instant, an enormous weight lifted and the fear lost all power over me — for in the moment of accepting it, I was fully accepting myself for the first time. Can't drive? So what! I'd rather laugh off this foible than grant it dominion. At 40, I had earned the right not to try to fix everything about myself, not to hide or be embarrassed by the idiosyncrasies that make me me. Sitting there as dusk began to settle, I understood that real confidence would come not in conquering every last challenge in life (an impossibility anyway) but rather in accepting myself in all my multifaceted, silly, and flawed humanity. I had won over the fear after all. The future really was mine for the taking. It always had been. And that truly was worth celebrating.

Our fears, ourselves — REDBOOK readers reveal what scares them most.
"I first experienced a fear of heights six years ago, while perched atop my parents' garage, replacing some shingles. I was pregnant and had my first taste of vertigo and haven't been on a ladder since. I feel a little sheepish about having an irrational fear, and I don't want to pass it on to my kids. So I fake it when I can, like the time I went on a lighthouse tour with my son's Cub Scout pack. On the other hand, I feel it's a sign of maturity for me to have human weaknesses. I'd love to be able to do it all — but for now, that's not going to include taking my feet off the ground!"
Beth Seiser, 43, Eastham, MA
"I have a terrible fear of driving. I didn't get my license until I was 20, when I had a young child and needed to get around while my husband was at work. I've driven only locally and have panic attacks when driving on a busy freeway or into a big city. I have ways to deal with my phobia in town, like memorizing routes and never straying from them, and going far out of my way to avoid busy streets. It's frustrating because my limited 'comfort zone' curbs my involvement in great opportunities in my nearby city of Houston. I know I'm missing out."
Stacey Nerdin, 35, Katy, TX
"After I saw Jaws 3-D with my younger brother, I became frightened of sharks. I worried they'd get dropped in the pool while I was swimming, I hyperventilated from the fear while scuba diving, and Bruce from Finding Nemo sent me into tears when he was on the screen. I have yet to find a way to conquer that fear, but I did move to Colorado to get away from the ocean. My friends joke that even though I live in a landlocked state, I'm probably convinced there are mountain sharks, just waiting for me to put my guard down! I won't discount that theory."
Suzanne Bastien, 35, Aurora, CO

In the pool I float on my back. The water is so chlorinated that when shower it off afterwards my eyes burn from the run-off. I float on my back in the pool in the south and look at the sky.
There are cats that live in the courtyard. Eight of them. A ninth showed up last week but there are only ever eight piles of food, so. The last cat is black and white. Larger. Everyone knows he's not meant to be here.
On my back I see a too blue sky. There is dark around the edges. I am pleased by it and worried. The darkness and rumbles. If I don't see the girl. Whose name is probably Jenna. Straight hair in a straight cut. The word which looks so much like another.

2013 James Beard Award Winner for International Category
2013 IACP Cookbook of the Year and Winner in the International Catebory!
A collection of 120 recipes exploring the flavors of Jerusalem from the New York Times bestselling author of Plenty, one of the most lauded cookbooks of 2011.
In Jerusalem, Yotam Ottolenghi reteams with his friend (and co-owner of his restaurants), Sami Tamimi, to explore the vibrant cuisine of their home city--with its diverse Muslim, Jewish, Arab, Christian, and Armenian communities. Both men were born in Jerusalem in the same year--Tamimi on the Arab east side and Ottolenghi in the Jewish west. This cookbook offers recipes from their unique cross-cultural perspectives including Charred Baby Okra with Tomato and Preserved Lemon, Braised Lamb Meatballs with Sour Cherries, and Clementine and Almond Cake. With five bustling restaurants in London and two stellar cookbooks, Ottolenghi is one of the most respected chefs in the world; Jerusalem is his most personal, original, and beautiful cookbook yet.

Other Books By This Author:
As a veteran cook, i can say that the recipes in this book are easy to follow and incredibly evocative of the multi-ethnic traditions in Israel. The authors have an insider's understanding of the culinary why and how's of this area of the world. The book itself is beautifully printed with padded hard covers and incredible color reproduction! Worth the investment!
It's a beautifully photographed book. The recipes are interesting but have less flavor than I thought they would. They are also labor intensive -- there's one rice dish I like but you cook the 2 rices separately, fry onion strips and saute a chick pea mixture. 4 pans and 40 minutes later you have a side dish. A good side dish but a side dish that will have you washing many, many pans.
Great cookbook!

FBI's Eye on Las Vegas Vexes Gaming Industry
FBI has pulled data on all casinos' customers; industry concerned at FBI sweeps
Under the new law, the government has been able to conduct sweeps on vast numbers of unnamed individuals without cause and it has admitted preserving the information in perpetuity.
The Post article estimated that more than 30,000 national security letters are served on companies every year, each of which may sweep up information on thousands of individuals, as they have in Las Vegas.
The Post article said the data mining in Las Vegas started at the end of 2003 as part of an emergency operation, thought to be the first of its kind in the country.
The Department of Homeland Security declared an orange alert on Dec. 21 of that year, in part because of intelligence that hinted at a New Year's Eve attack in Las Vegas.
The FBI sent a little-known Proactive Data Exploitation Unit to assemble a real-time census of every visitor in the city.
Government and private- sector sources described epic efforts to vacuum up information.
An interagency task force began pulling together the records of every hotel guest, everyone who rented a car or truck, every lease on a storage space, and every airplane passenger who landed in the city.
The operation remained secret for about a week before it was reported in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Under former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft's revised policy, none of the information that was gathered has been purged. The Post reported the whole operation found no suspect, and the orange alert ended on Jan. 10, 2004.
"The whole thing washed out," one participant said.
Peck said there is every reason to believe the government is still abusing the law on a massive scale.
The national ACLU is litigating a case involving an affected individual that neither it nor Peck can discuss.
"The gag order is part of the law and has a profound chilling effect on discussing the policies, even on the ACLU," Peck said.
Fahrenkopf said any use of national security letters to solicit private information on seemingly innocent individuals constitutes an unacceptable intrusion on the privacy of our customers.
"Asking our companies to surrender records, (possibly) chronicling everything from where our visitors eat and what shows they see to what souvenirs they purchase and how much they gamble -- and making that information available to various sectors of the government and some private businesses -- simply goes too far," he said.

Toppayday uses SSL encription for customer information protection. All the information provided by our valued customers are, and will remain safe and secure.
Before applying for a loan, we would like you to fully understand the process and the potential financial implications. Fees and interest charges vary by lender. The interest charged per £100 loan is typically between £25-£30 which reflects an APR ranging between 1737% to 3,214%. Some lenders may charge a transfer fee or processing fee, typically around £5 but variable by lender.
Implications of Non-repayment
If your circumstances change and you feel that you will be unable to make your loan re-payment you must contact your lender immediately and try to discuss flexible terms. If you do not re-pay what you owe on the pre-agreed date and you have not arranged an alternative date with the lender, you may be subject to fees and penalties. Non-repayment could result in an automatic loan renewal/extension which could cause further interest charges and fees. These terms will be disclosed in full within your loan agreement and the amount charged will be decided at the discretion of your lender's policy.
Late Payment
Again, call your lender immediately if you expect your payment to be late. Because you will often be subject to a late fee, which will be added to the amount that you owe. Fee's typically run £15-£35 or a % of the loan, however they may be able to offer you a new re-payment date. Please read your loan's terms and agreement in full.
Collections Process
Typically you will not be called, emailed or text messaged unless you do not pay the loan back on time. In this case, your lender or a collection agency working on its behalf, may contact you via phone and in some cases physically visit you to arrange repayment. Collectors are regulated by the Office of Fair trading and are not allowed to act in a threatening or harassing manner.
Credit Implications
Some lenders use Credit Reference Agencies (CRA's) to verify your identity and detail your credit circumstances for the application. This leaves a similar footprint as applying for a credit card or store card. Non-repayment may result in an adverse report to the CRA's while an on time repayment can reflect a positive report to the CRA's. Toppayday advises to borrow only the amount needed and repay on the agreed date.
Charges will vary slightly; you will be presented exact charges upon approval. Generally speaking charges will be around £29 per £100.

Neji walked down from his room and out the door with out being seen this time and he meet Tenten at the bridge, but this time it was not to dinner it was to the lake. As Neji told Tenten what his fother did she tuched his sholder and told him that her parents didn't even notice she was gone. Then they reached the lake and Neji looked at Tenten and said "I really love you Tenten." "But... My father thinks something might happen between us." "WHAT!!" Tenten shouted "That's nonsense." she added in. Then she noticed his arms go around her and she did the same to him "Tenten your speshle to me and no mater what I'll always love you." Neji told her "Your the same to me Neji." she said. The next day it was a mission Lee looked at Tenten then at Neji they were strangely not looking at each other, and Tenten had a ring on her finger Lee thought that was strange Tenten never had a ring before. She was playing with it and then she took it off and put it in her pocket and looked at the sky. Neji was on her mind he asked her to be his gilrfriend and she was thinking should she say yes or no?
Tenten walked to Neji's house and suprised him "Tenten what are you doing here?" Neji asked "About what you said Neji... When you asked me to be your girlfriend-." Tenten said "Look you dont have t-" Neji told her but he was cut off by Tenten "Yes. Yes I'll become your girlfriend Neji!" "Tenten I. I'm..." Neji said but cut of by Tenten's lips tuching his. In his mind my "first kiss what should I do?", but then he looked at her finger the ring he gave her was still there "Neji I love you, A lot and always will." 4 year later "Tenten will you marry me?" asked Neji "Neji I..." Tenten said and added in "Yes Neji I will, I will marry you Neji.
It the day of the wedding Tenten and Yacole got their hair done and were walking to the church "Your married right?" Tenten asked "You were there and you dont remimber" Yacole said jokingly "Oh yeah.

Then as the church guy was talking Neji looked into Tentens eyes and as the guy said "You may now kiss the bride." Neji's and Tenten's lips tuched. Then after they cut the cake Guy ran up to Tenten and Neji and said "I know you to would find each other!" Guy was crying a lot. Neji and Tenten tolk off their wedding clothes and sliped into bed. Tenten broke the silent moment by asking Neji "What do you think of having a child Neji" "Way did that come up your not pregnet are you." Neji asked "No I was just wondering." Tenten told him "Well, I wouldent mind one, or two." Neji wanted to sound nice and not like a big jurk.

The Razzies Gives 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2' Its Just Desserts
While the Oscars, with its bad jokes and songs about boobs, played out on Sunday night, another award was presented, one that comes with a nary a song about boobs, but with performances by people some may consider boobs. That's right; the Razzies were announced over the weekend. And one film proved to be the belle of the ball…no, it wasn't Adam Sandler's "comedy" That's My Boy, but one that ended a saga, and ended stomach pains for some moviegoers: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn –Part 2. Cue applause… right…now.
For those that don't know, the Golden Raspberry Award, or Razzie's for short, has been around since 1981 and handing out its award to such classics as Jack and Jill, The Love Guru, Basic Instinct 2, and Battlefield Earth . This year Twilight was the big winner, taking the Raspberry for Picture, actress, director, ensemble, on screen duo, worst sequel, well, you get the point.
But don't worry about Adam Sandler, he didn't walk away empty handed. His "comedy" contribution for 2012, That's My Boy, took home worst screenplay and actor. For those of you who really liked both of these movies, sorry. But maybe as the years pass, these films will be admired for the daring originality, heartfelt storytelling and cutting edge comedy…no, I'm totally screwing with you. That will never happen.
Oh and Rihanna took an award home as well, for worst supporting actress for Battleship. Shocking that Taylor Kitsch, with his dead eye stare, didn't have more of a presence with these awards. But don't worry Taylor; I'm guessing there will be a Razzie coming your way in the not too distant future.

Cinematography: Introduction
The first Academy Awards were handed out on May 16, 1929, just after the advent of "talkies." By 1930, enthusiasm was so great that a Los Angeles radio station did a live, one-hour broadcast, and the Awards have enjoyed broadcast coverage ever since.
The number and types of awards have grown and changed over the
years to keep up with the development of the motion picture industry.
Since 1981, Awards of Merit—Oscars®—have been presented
in each (or in sub-divisions) of the following categories: acting,
art direction, cinematography, costume design, directing, feature
and short documentary film, film editing, foreign-language film,
make-up, music, best picture, best animated and best live-action
short film, sound, sound-effects editing, visual effects and writing.
In an age when awards shows seem as common as nightly news programs,
the Academy Awards are unique because the judges—Academy members—are
the top filmmakers from around the world. The question, "Who
gets the Oscar?," is decided by a true jury of peers.
With the exception of the best picture, which is decided by the entire Academy, and the documentary, foreign-language film and short-film categories, which are selected by special viewing committees, nominations are determined by a secret ballot of Academy members representing each craft. All Academy members vote to select the final winners.
The awards nomination and selection process provides a wonderful opportunity to teach your students about the many craft areas—and the many communications techniques—that play a part in creating a motion picture. Filmmaking is by nature a collaborative process, with each craft area supporting and being supported by the others. Because our space is limited, this kit focuses on just one of those areas-cinematography.
Selecting Films for Student ViewingStudents may select the films they wish to view during the following activities, or you may wish to suggest films that you believe are appropriate.
The following films have won Academy Awards for cinematography and may be appropriate for your students: Titanic (1997), Schindler's List (1993), A River Runs Through It (1992), Dances With Wolves (1990), Mississippi Burning (1988), The Last Emperor (1987) and Out of Africa (1985).
The following films were nominated for Academy Awards for cinematography and may be appropriate for your students: Shakespeare in Love (1998), Amistad (1997), Evita (1996), Sense and Sensibility (1995) and Howards End (1992). For younger students, A Little Princess (1995) and Fly Away Home (1996) may be good choices.

Are you seriously complaining about not having a gun in the top slot? It's not even going to matter! You will have transmog so just make the bow look like a gun. Sure you won't get the extra crit if you're a dwarf but no one will unless they are a troll so every race gets screwed in that aspect.

Robot Food and Cougar Town: a roundup of Ryan Broderick's #howtopitchajournalist class
Muck Rack sends out a big thanks to Ryan Broderick for hosting amazing #HowtoPitchaJournalist last night. He gave some hilarious insights into the world of being a journalist— from horribly bad pitches to advice for grabbing the person you're pitching. Ryan writes for BuzzFeed on gifs, photos, videos and more. He also runs the BuzzFeed Tumblr and does comedy sketches for Student Loans for Beer Money.
Here's some of the advice Ryan gave out last night, in case you missed the event:
- Don't pitch to journalists across all mediums in the same way. Print, broadcast, and internet all have different audiences and purposes, so you should tailor your pitch to match that.
- Be personal when you're pitching. Know the person on an individual level and you'll have a better chance of getting a response.
- Tweet pitches aren't the worst idea in the world. It forces people to keep it short and to the point.
- Cougar Town is actually a good show. Ryan said so.
- The Internet is "like a cocktail party." Don't be the person that's yelling at everyone to get attention and sell them something. Be the person at the party who is casual and confident.
- Pitch the channel that will lead you higher instead of going for the major publications first. It will allow you to be in front of the "Internet hype machine."
- SEO versus sharing on websites. "SEO is like feeding a robot, robot food and sharing is for humans."
Also big shout to out the people who attended in person and on Google+ hangout. Thanks for joining!

Who is T?
Atlanta. What's C-post?
Rap Attack was one of the earliest radio shows to focus on rap, hosted by Magic and D.J.ed by Marley Marl
Help us out — what's he actually saying?

What are the actual lyrics here? Let us know and we'll boost up your Rap IQ
"Outta my underwear" seems like "off my rocker", but what's the Bacardi?
Verne Troyer is Mini Me from Austin Powers (callback!) and Mini Me is Eminem spelled backwards.
Not sure I'm hearing the lyrics right in the first line, and not sure if Verne Troyer famously peed in a corner of anything (maybe a room on a reality show..?)
Is he admitting that Relapse sucked?


text: I started lifting consistently about a year ago and have been cutting the ENTIRE time. I finally get to start my first bulk. I'm so excited. I haven't seen gains since my newb gains. I am going to do a super clean bulk at 2600 cals/day. My maintenance is about 2200 or so. I originally wanted to cut to get a six pack and all that crap, but I looked in the mirror at the gym today and said to myself, "crap shane, you're looking puny." And so I begin my first bulk. Any advice?

Helps to keep hair dry...
from Santa Barbara, CA
on 3/3/2012
I was looking for a cap system to keep my shoulder length hair dry while lap swimming. The best method thus far has been to double cap: I use a silicone smooth cap underneath and this bubble cap over the top. My hair still gets damp around the nape but this new approach is a big improvement over just using a single cap. I mound my hair into a bun on the top of my head and it stays dry. I am very satisfied with this product and especially since it alleviates having to shampoo my hair after every swim.
It doesn't hurt!
from nj
on 11/1/2011
I had a large latex cap that sqeezed my brain so tightly it hurt and left marks on my forehead. This cap doesn't hurt at all. I love it!
If you don't like it to tight this is the right swim cap for you.
from Clarkston, WA
on 3/12/2013
If you don't like it to tight this is the perfect swim cap, I'm an Water Art Instructor and I tried different swim caps but this one I like and recommend to my team..
Good Looking Bubble Cap
YMCA Swimmer
from Glendale, CA
on 3/1/2013
I've used the bubble cap a couple of times and am still havingtrouble getting the cap on my large head. I have received many comments about the "new good looking cap".
My favorite swim cap
from San Francisco, CA
on 11/16/2012
I usually dread putting on those thin swim caps. This one is nice and thick and easy to put on. I order both the black and white. I'm sure this will last longer than the "thermal" one that I have, which is already losing its color and the fabric is degrading.
Not bad for shorter hair
carol c.
from Pittsboro, IN
on 7/13/2012
My hair is thick and while this cap fits over my head comfortably it does not stay down. It slides up. I think if it had a strap it would be better. Although it fits better than the average swimmers cap, but for long thick hair it isn't very usable.
Speedo Silicone Bubble Cap
Thomas T.
from Sarasota, FL
on 5/16/2012
Very unusual style swim cap. Seems too short on the sides to cover the ears. Lovely quality though. Nice.
my head is big, but this is too big
from CA
on 4/10/2012
because of bubble.
i recomment this cap.
from brooklyn, NY
on 10/7/2011
i like this cap. it is soft, and confortable. i am not feel pain when i use it, but it is a little big. i think that maybe my head is small. however, i have no choice because this cap is only one size. i recommend this product. if the cap has various sizes, there wil be more good.
The Bubble Cap
from chicago
on 7/10/2011
I have long, thick hair, and this cap is easy to put on. It does not pull on my hair. No bathing cap keeps my hair totally dry - I don't expect it. My hair does get damp when I wear this cap.

Spending cuts in Greece have caused some 500 male suicides since their implementation, according to a new study. The research found a positive correlation between austerity and suicide rates after other possible links proved to be unrelated.
Figures from Spain's National Institute of Statistics (INE) show a surge in the suicide rate but heart attacks remain the leading cause of death.
An Italian health official says financial problems in the recession-hit country force people to commit suicide.
A woman in Spain jumped to her death as bailiffs approached to evict her Friday from her fourth-floor apartment for failing to pay the mortgage, officials said.

"The vending machine is set to return to the same location but Lady Gaga and her 'little monsters' will have to party somewhere else…" idk is there a Coke machine that can contain them all?

A polished and approachable Syrah with layers of aromas and flavors. The wine has a deep purple, almost black appearance, which leads the way to a varietally distinct wine.

No Place Left to Turn for Homeschoolers
- Tuesday, November 26, 2002
"The man who won the Civil War and brought an end to slavery in America, Abraham Lincoln, is hardly mentioned. Instead, attention is lavished on a new pantheon of politically correct 'heroes.'
"America's flaws and shameful moments are repeatedly highlighted, while its noble sacrifices and tremendous contributions to the world are overlooked. Apparently, the goal is to teach impressionable children to be ashamed rather than proud of their country.
"Communists are often presented as victims, with no mention of the terrible atrocities committed by communist officials around the world, which continue to this day in China, North Korea, and Cuba."
For other homeschool parents, the issue is simply quality of education.
According to the Oct. 14 issue of Time magazine, "more than 600,000 of the freshmen who arrived at U.S. colleges this fall -- remarkably, 29 percent of the total, are taking at least one remedial reading, writing or math class." No wonder some parents believe they can do better by teaching their own kids.
Given the education establishment's checkered record, in terms of both values taught and quality of education, it is certainly understandable that approximately 400 - 600,000 children are currently taught at home. And lest there be any doubt, these children are not languishing.
Every study done on homeschooled students, including several by state governments, have concluded such pupils actually perform better by every measure. According to a USA Today Weekend report several years back, even homeschoolers' social skills often surpass those of their publicly schooled peers.
Regardless of one's own personal education preference, I think we can all agree that homeschooling is -- and should remain -- a viable option for California's parents. It is my hope that Delaine Eastin's successor, Jack O'Connell, will embrace this view.
Homeschool parents aren't the enemy. They are partners in our shared goal -- giving all children the very best education they can get.
Tim Leslie is Assemblyman of California's 4th Assembly District, which reaches from Roseville to Lake Tahoe in the north and Mammoth Lakes in the south.

One Swine Flu Shot or Two?
Getting just one swine flu vaccine shot might not protect them one hundred percent, according to some experts.
Dr. Nina Shapiro: So, maybe you have a kid under 10 years old, and maybe you've somehow gotten them the swine flu vaccine. Is that good enough? Are they now immune to developing swine flu? Well, the jury is out on that, and the powers that be differ in their recommendations.
According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Anthony Fauci, there is a good reason why children under 10 years old need two vaccines. The reason is NOT because young children develop some sort of "partial" immunity, which, if worse comes to worst, would mean that they would develop a "mild" case of the disease.
While you may have experienced this, or heard of kids developing a "mild swine flu" after one vaccination, that is coincidence. NIAID actually studied which age groups develop immunity to H1N1 virus after one dose of the vaccine, and here's what they found: For healthy adults, 97% of them will develop immunity after one dose of the vaccine. For children ages 10 to 17 years, 76% of them will develop immunity after one dose. While 24% of 10- to 17-year-olds do not develop immunity, 76% of a given population developing immunity is considered statistically "adequate" for flu vaccinations in general, including the seasonal flu vaccine.
For children ages 3 to 9 years, 36% will develop immunity after one dose, and for children ages 6 months to 3 years, only 25% will develop immunity after one dose. After two doses (recommended 21 to 28 days after the first dose), 94-100% of children ages 6 months through 9 years develop immunity to H1N1.
The World Health Organization (WHO), unlike NIAID, recommends single dosing even to young children, with the idea that stretching out such a short supply of vaccine over a larger population will increase the overall immunity of the world population at large. NIAID disagrees, suggesting that this would simply be under-protecting the most vulnerable group (children), and that second dosing should be utilized in children before being given to lower risk adults.
While one shot may be better than none, and most are happy to have gotten one at all -- having driven hours to get to that "swine flu shot spot," only to wait in line for the better part of the day -- what do we do, knowing that close to 75% of those children vaccinated are not immune to the virus?
Get back in line, I guess.

Best place yet. We were pleasantly surprised....never wanted for a thing, staff so attentive without even noticing they were there!!!

I had a delightful stay in mid-April 2013 & plan to return. My room was large, bright & comfortable (with a fireplace) & an expansive view of the water. The staff were ever so helpful & I felt like I had stepped back in time. I was especially pleased with my "welcome plate" which contained delicious cheese & crackers, large, perfectly prepared shrimp, & wine -- large enough to be my dinner that night -- while sitting on the upstairs porch. However, the chef offers exquisite dinners & a selection of picnic lunches if you choose to dine at Warner Hall or take a basket to go. I enjoyed relaxing/reading on the "southern plantation" style porches & was delighted with the more informal, nautically themed boathouse on the water. A delicious breakfast was served in the sunny, glass enclosed day porch. Warner Hall embodies history with elegance. It is a treasure.

My family and I spent Thanksgiving weekend at Warner Hall and it was one of the best weekends we have ever had together. The atmosphere was exceptional, the house was decorated beyond compare and the food was out of this world. The breakfast alone was something I think about on lazy Sunday mornings when I try to recreate the omelets with no luck! Thanksgiving dinner was amazing and the evening ended with the all of the guests of the house at the Boat House at the banks of the river with a blazing camp fire. We met fascinating people in town from all over the country and truly became part of a new family. The staff is amazing, especially Jen, Jan and Christina who anticipated your every need. Cookies in the foyer, ice in the room, help with food allergies, etc. Troy makes a mean drink and Theresa offers the best conversation around. We will be back and not just for another holiday. We want to spend a long weekend in the summer to take advantage of the river and kayaks and to experience everything Warner Hall has to offer.

My husband and I do not leave our son overnight very often, but when we decided to do it for a special occasion, we chose the Inn at Warner Hall. We were relaxed, spent the evening in luxurious surroundings, talked for hours over an incredible dinner, drank wine and reconnected. We missed our son, but the night away was made so memorable by the incredible location we chose to escape to, the welcoming faces of Troy and Theresa (Innkeepers) and the comfortable surroundings!

We just returned from our last stay at Warner Hall making it a total of 13 glorious days and nights. This stay was to share their very special two-day New Year's Celebration! It is so popular that the rooms are filled primarily by the same folks who return year after year. Another stay last July was every bit as wonderful, peaceful and relaxing. Hosts Theresa and Troy, and all staff, are an accommodating "family" who want their home to be your home. And that's exactly how we feel! Breakfasts are deliciously healthy, Friday and Saturday dinners by reservation offer extraordinary selections, and lunch and dinner baskets are awesome (thank you, Eric)! Rooms are beautifully decorated with thoughtful offerings. The boathouse at the foot of the Severn River is a special hideaway. We look forward to our next stay at our home away from home!

Warner Hall Inn is a great place for a romantic getaway. Enjoyed our stay and we will be back next year to celebrate our anniversary again. They had our lunch ready as soon as we walked through the door. We ate our lunch by the water and then went for a bike ride. What a great day can't wait to return.

We stayed at the Inn at Warner Hall for 5 nights to celebrate my parents' Golden Wedding anniversary and we truly couldn't have chosen a better spot (it was our second visit but their first). Troy and Theresa are wonderful hosts and every last detail has been accounted for. The rooms are fantastically spacious and spotlessly clean and all has been renovated with a great eye for detail and always in keeping with the historic roots of the property. The food is delicious and plentiful and George and Martha the two dogs are a delight as are the staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. We could not recommend the Inn at Warner Hall highly enough and we intend to return as soon as we can.

I really liked that the staff was flexible for someone who had driven most of the night to get there, and let me relax for a few hours with an active wifi. Heavens knows where the next starbucks was. The food was excellent, noise level in the rooms was acceptably low, and there were lots of interesting books about the Warner and Lewis families. Unfortunately I missed their Friday and Saturday even dinner, must have misread the advertising as I was hoping to try something scrumptious on a Sunday. In all definitely worth the stop.

We spent our 5th Anniversary this past summer at this wonderful, peaceful place. We stayed in "Austin's Desire." I am not sure what the views from the other rooms were like, but this suite takes you away from everyone, you feel as if you are there all by yourself. A getaway at the getaway! Whatever reason you find yourself visiting for, make sure you line up, fills up very quickly. When you are there for your stay you will find out why.
5 sur juin 19, 2009
We spent our 20th anniversary at the Inn and we were delighted by the beauty of the inn and its surroundings, the simple elegance of the rooms, the warmth of the owners and staff and the relaxing and friendly atmosphere. We took the bikes for a nice ride, we read by the boat house and enjoyed the quietness, we were extremely pleased with the dining experience, be it breakfast and dinner. It was a wonderful weekend for us in a wonderful setting.

I'm watching Last Resort
"Series Finale. This show was good! Its too bad it didn't get picked up by ABC for a full run. It was co-created by the guy who conceived The Shield and stars Andre Braugher, Scott Speedman and Robert Patrick. For all the people out there who don't know Robert Patrick is the dude who played the T-1000 in Terminator 2! So if your up for a show that has a thirteen episode span and wraps up with at least a satisfying ending check this show out! I wish it had been given a chance!"

Ultimate Ultrasound Nerve Block Education with Stone…and a big announcement about The Ultrasound Leadership Academy!
Comments on this entry are closed.
Hi,I came across your Ultrasound academy podcast,as I was preparing for another exam!!
Well,to start off,I am an anesthetist,trained in India 20 years ago,and have been practicing in UAE for the last 8years.I started using US in my practice just over 2years ago,and the going has been ,we'll,wobbly,mainly due to the constraints of self education!
Si,if this academy is on offer for non US,nonUK, non Canada ,non Australia,non EU anaesthesia grads,can I apply please. Wait a minute,is it still on offer though. If yes,count me in. As must be obvious by now,I am crazy about education,and would like a go at it.
You know where to contact me
