NORD is very grateful to J. Michael Jumper, MD, Director, Retina Service and Sara J. Haug, MD, PhD, California Pacific Medical Center, West Coast Retina Medical Group, for assistance in the preparation of this report.
Coats disease was first described in 1908 and is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal development of the blood vessels in the retina. The retina is a nerve-rich tissue lining the back of the eye that transmits light images to the brain, which allows a person to see. Therefore affected individuals may experience loss of vision due to changes in the retina and, in severe cases, retinal detachment. In almost all cases of Coats disease, only one eye is affected. Rarely, both eyes may be exhibit symptoms however one eye is often affected more than the other. The specific cause of Coats disease is not known.
Coats disease affects males more often than females in a ratio of 3:1. The disorder may occur at any age, but the majority of cases are diagnosed in the first two decades of life. Individuals affected with Coats disease may display few or no symptoms while others may have severe involvement. The most common features at presentation of Coats disease include loss of vision, misalignment of the eyes (strabismus), and/or the development of a white mass in the pupil behind the lens of the eye so that the pupil appears white (leukocoria).
Over time, Coats disease may cause detachment of the retina and substantial loss of vision. Additional signs may appear as Coats disease progresses, including elevated pressure inside the eye (glaucoma), clouding of the lens of the eye (cataract), reddish discoloration in the iris due to the growth of new blood vessels in the iris (rubeosis iridis or neovascular glaucoma), shrinking of the affected eyeball (phthisis bulbi), and/or inflammation of eye (uveitis).
Eye symptoms result from a developmental malformation, known as telangiectasia, of the blood vessels in the retina. Telangiectasia (tele equals far or end, angio means blood vessel, and ectasia refers to dilation) occurs when there is abnormal widening of groups of small blood vessels, resulting in the leakage of proteins and lipids from the blood. When this occurs in the retina, it is termed exudative retinopathy. This leakage can lead to retinal detachment and the other symptoms discussed above.
The specific cause of Coats disease is not known. One hypothesis in the literature is that a mutation of the Norrie disease protein (NDP) gene leads to Coats disease. This gene is an attractive candidate because it has been shown to play a vital role in retinal blood vessel development. One study showed some promise for involvement of the NDP gene in Coats disease, however further studies have not been able to verify this hypothesis. In general, Coats disease is considered a non-genetic, non-heritable condition.
It is estimated that about 69% of those affected are male. The average age at diagnosis is 8-16 years, although the disease has been diagnosed in patients as young as 4 months. About two-thirds of juvenile cases present before age 10. Approximately one-third of patients are 30 years or older before symptoms begin.
Signs of the following disorders can be similar to those of Coats disease.
Retinoblastoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor that develops in the retina. Patients are usually diagnosed before the age of three. Common presenting symptoms include leukocoria, which is the appearance of a distinctive white mass in the pupil area behind the lens of the eye, and strabismus or eye misalignment. The presentation of symptoms in retinoblastoma can be identical to those in Coats disease, therefore it is very important to correctly distinguish Coats disease from retinoblastoma since untreated retinoblastoma can be life threatening. In most cases, retinoblastomas occur spontaneously with no family history; however, approximately 20 percent of cases are transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. (For more information on this disorder, choose "Retinoblastoma" as your search terms in the Rare Disease Database.)
Norrie disease is a rare inherited neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by early onset blindness in both eyes shortly after birth. Some children with this disorder may experience developmental delay. Additional signs associated with Norrie disease include mild to profound hearing loss and other eye abnormalities. Cataracts may develop during early infancy and the eyeballs may shrink (phthisis bulbi). Norrie disease is inherited as an X-linked trait. (For more information on this disorder, choose "Norrie" as your search term in the Rare Disease Database.)
Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV), formerly called persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV), is a developmental disorder affecting the eye that is present at birth. The disorder is characterized by persistence of the fetal blood vessels in the vitreous gel in the middle of the eye, insertion of the blood vessels into the lens causing cataract, and loss of vision.
Other disorders that might be confused with Coats disease include familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) and macular telangiectasia, type I.
A diagnosis of Coats disease is made based upon a thorough clinical ophthalmic evaluation, a detailed patient history, and specialized tests, including retinal fluorescein angiography, diagnostic echography, and in some cases computed tomography imaging of the orbits.
The treatment of Coats disease is directed toward the specific signs present in each individual. A procedure that uses extreme cold to create a scar around the abnormal blood vessels (cryotherapy), and/or a procedure that uses laser energy to heat and destroy abnormal blood vessels (photocoagulation) are used singly or in combination to treat Coats disease. In conjunction with these procedures, steroids or other medicines such as bevacizumab may be injected into the eye to control inflammation and leaking from blood vessels. Surgery to reattach the retina may also be necessary.
Genetic counseling is not necessary if the diagnosis is accurate since this is a non-genetic malformation and the recurrence risk is the same as the background rate in the general population.

I saw The Front Bottoms for the 5th time at Shea Stadium on saturday. It was honestly one of the best shows I've ever been to, every time I see them it gets better. Being so close to them while they played made it such an intimate and personal show, it was an amazing thing to be a part of. All the sweat and the mess of everyone as we shouted the lyrics along with them and sang our hearts out. There were quite a few moments where I thought I was going to get crushed because the crowd was super insane but I loved every minute if it. Rocking out and going crazy with everyone and just having a good time. By the end my legs were so beat up and badly bruised but it was worth every part of it. Shout out to the girl who saved my life a couple times, much love. The set was great, they played a lot of songs. Including squeeze! We even got to hear something new while they were rehearsing. Tiny Moving Parts was phenomenal as well. They're all fantastic musicians and really nice guys. I got some of their merch and they all even signed a vinyl for me. Dylan is the sweetest person ever and we got to talk to him for a bit. He said he loves touring and he wants to do it forever and that's what it's all about, you can tell how passionate he is about what he does. I got more tfb merch as always, they have a bunch of awesome new stuff. Also my sister got Brian to sing happy birthday to me and he signaled for me to tell him my name I said it was Mia and he goes "Oh Mia, how are you?!" He remembered who I was and that's one of the greatest feelings ever. I had given him a bandana in Rochester and he said he usually trades them but he still has it in his bag. That means so much to me. They don't have to stick around after shows but they do and that's one of the things I love about them. I'm so glad to have met them. Today's my 19th birthday and I know that The Front Bottoms will be there to help get me through another year. I've never posted pictures after a show cause I never get around to it but this one was super special. So here ya go, enjoy! Rock & Roll.
Also thanks to Katie for selling me tickets when the show was sold out. None of this would have been possible without her.

i love the way that your heart breaks
with every injustice and deadly fate
praying it all will be new
and living like it all depends on you
tiny puppies on tiny couches !
When they drag Cas out of Purgatory, Dean drops his pride for a night - to the shock of even himself. When Castiel lies down on a rough mattress in the cabin they inhabit, he sleeps for what Dean thinks must be about the third time in his life, tiny little endearing snores filling the room. He hasn't spoken since leaving Purgatory - he merely stared at Dean with wide, mistrusting eyes, as if he might be a hologram or an illusion.
But now, unable to help himself, when Cas's face is so at peace, the hunter slides silently onto the mattress beside him. He wouldn't have done anything more - except Cas lets out a soft whine and instinctively leans into him, forcing Dean to wrap his arms around the angel to keep him comfortable. There's not a single break in the angel's snoring, and Dean swears to himself that he'll be out of the bed before the angel wakes up, lest Sam find out about this.
But he's tired too and before long, he's asleep.
When he awakes, there's still pressure in his arms - and before his eyes open, he registers that the snoring has stopped. Grimacing, green eyes flicker open and his whole body jumps, startled, as a blue, earnest gaze meets his own. Cas is awake - and in exactly the same position he has been all night, staring into Dean's face.
But the mistrust is gone.
"You have two thousand and forty-six freckles."
Dean blinks in bewilderment and cocks an eyebrow. "Uh - what?"
"I counted. While you were asleep." Cas doesn't even seem to notice how unnerving this is. "You have two thousand and forty-six freckles. You're the real Dean - not a poorly constructed vision designed by Purgatory." And his rough voice actually lifts with happiness.
Dean registers, somewhere in his mind, that Cas must have studied him pretty intensely in the past to know this number.
And he should be very freaked out by this - right?
But instead, he lets out a rough bark of happiness and pulls Cas in tighter - almost chokingly tight. "Welcome back, you creep."

Christie is a Bloomberg Republican. He might, just might have been a splinter of the JFK Democrat party but you forgot the single, biggest issue - energy. Christie is a climate change, warmist supporting hugger of the Green's alarmist agenda when he's not out hugging those he worships. If Christie is the bet the GOP can do, then let's just cut to the chase, go on disability and food stamps and become Christie-ians.

SF official wants to restrict police role in terrorism probes
A San Francisco politician wants tougher oversight of local police and the role they play in terrorism investigations following complaints from residents that they were unnecessarily targeted for questioning and surveillance by Joint Terrorism Task Forces.
Dozens of new task forces led by the FBI were created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks so local, state and federal law enforcement could work together to smoke out terrorism plots. But at times, they've been accused of too zealously collecting intelligence on people who have done little or nothing wrong.
San Francisco City and County Supervisor Jane Kim wants the police department to fall in line with state and local privacy rules that restrict what information police can amass, and she wants investigators to refrain from gathering intelligence on people unless there is reasonable suspicion that the person has engaged in criminal conduct.

Days prior to landfall, extreme emphasis was put on the danger posed to the Philippines from Super Typhoon Haiyan. Everyone all around the world was talking about it, and the Philippine government began taking their precautions two days prior to its arrival.
The Philippine Area of Responsibility typically sees around 20 tropical cyclones per year, 6-9 of which generally make landfall in the Philippines, so they are no stranger to natures fury. However, no tropical cyclone of this size and strength had ever affected the Philippines before in recorded history. Meteorologists, news agencies, and the local government all stressed that this would be among the most powerful storm on record.
Before the storm made landfall, President Benigno S. Aquino III warned that the nation faced a calamity. Authorities had evacuated more than 800,000 people prior to its arrival, but as is always the case, people chose to stay behind as opposed to evacuating. Unfortunately, in this case, it appears thousands of people chose to stay behind, and it cost many of them their lives.
So what possible reason was there for people to not evacuate? Yes, the Philippines are made up of islands, but most of the islands rise a significant distance above sea level. This would suggest that there was no excuse for people to not evacuate to higher ground. The hardest hit city – Tacloban – sits at sea level and should have been entirely evacuated. This is especially true considering Tacloban City sits back in a bay of sorts and the Typhoon would funnel all the water right to the city. According to local residents, they were expecting a storm surge of 6-7 meters, or 20-23 feet. Peter Harwood left this comment on a story on Accuweather.com.
I am in the path of the eye of the storm and we expecting 6-7 meter storm surge but we are below ground level. We are 50 meters from ocean and there is no high ground to run to. If it true the evacuation centers will be under water also. Thanks for your prayers
First off, I hope you are alright, Peter, and if you happen to read this, please send me a message letting me know you made it out safely!
As Peter mentioned, evacuation centers could be underwater with a storm surge of that size. If that is true and there really were evacuation centers less than 25 or so feet above sea level, they should never have made those shelters. It has already been reported by multiple news agencies that many people (number unknown) died even in evacuation centers. Some deaths were due to buildings collapsing, while others were overtaken by storm surge.
It is unfortunate, but understandable that buildings in a fairly impoverished country could not stand up to such strong winds for a sustained period of time. There is, however, absolutely no reason that evacuation centers should have been overtaken by the storm surge. This was either an extremely poor decision on part of the local officials, or they had absolutely no other choice, which I find hard to believe. They could have set up additional shelters on the other side of the island that was clearly not going to see much in the way of storm surge. This would have at least eliminated one significant danger.
"Elderly people told CNN's Ivan Watson they preferred to stay put and wait it out rather than risk evacuating." I am not really sure why anyone would have this mentality, especially with all the dire predictions of what was coming. As for a majority of the rest of the people that stayed behind, some said they were worried about looters after the storm and some underestimated the risk.
What really gets me is that it appears so many people were not expecting such a high storm surge and that some said they didn't even really know what a storm surge was! Take this for instance, from CNN interviewing a local:
If we'd have been warned about a tsunami we'd have known not to be in the coastal area. But the fact they warned of a 'storm surge' … we frankly didn't know what that was. We didn't know how deadly that was.
To me, that is shocking that someone who lives in a place that sees upwards of 6-9 tropical cyclones per year "didn't know what that [storm surge] was". Perhaps this is an extremely isolated incidence – at least I sure hope it was. Regardless, it appears that there were somehow communication issues regarding just how destructive Haiyan would be. Clearly something needs to be done about this, but I will leave that up to those who devote their life to figuring out just this sort of problem.
Mass evacuations are always a huge logistical headache, but there was obviously something else that should have been done in the Philippines. There are clearly fewer areas for people to evacuate to in a country comprised of islands, so what else could have been done to prepare for Haiyan?
- For starters, everyone should have evacuated the city of Tacloban, no exceptions. How you implement this, however, is an entirely different matter.
- More shelters should have been set up on the west side of the island as opposed to the east side where they could have practically eliminated the storm surge threat.
- People should have used common sense, but I guess there is really nothing you can do about this.
What are your thoughts on this topic? What else could/should have been done to better prepare for Super Typhoon Haiyan?

Grandpa was quite an eccentric fellow.
Apple butter sweetened his coffee.
Wore high suspenders of red and yellow.
He'd slip me peppermints and toffee.
He'd lift me high on the shiny tractor.
We'd traverse the rows of citrus groves.
Of course the weather was often a factor.
The air smelled of grapefruits,oranges and cloves.
We'd ride through the sagging trees,he and I.
Had to dodge irrigation streams.
I adored him so,I can't deny.
He listened to my colorful dreams.
One day I looked up and he was old.
Knew I'd be missing him before long.
The thought of him leaving made me cold.
In my life he was a joyful song.
So I made the most of his company.
Raptly listened as he told me his story.
It's written on my heart,you see.
For Grandpa has gone to live in glory.

I am alarmed when any young man is killed senselessly – white, or black or whatever. Finally columnist Dewayne Wickham has hit the nail on the head ("Black-on-black violence: Where's the outrage?" April 14). I would like to see people demand justice as they did for Trayvon Martin whenever any young man is gunned down, black-on-black, white-on-white, white-on-black, black-on-white. Witnesses need to come forward; people need to speak out to help catch those that commit murder.
Hopefully someday we will stop calling each other white, black, African-American, Native American etc. and just call each other friends, all equal and all as one body making up a great country.

Nan Anderson retired seven years ago from full-time work at a senior home care agency. At 78, the long-time Chicago resident still volunteers at local aging organizations and stays involved in the community.
"I grew up thinking, you retire at 65, you play for five years and you're done," said Anderson, who enjoys volunteering and attending folk music festivals and performances in her free time. "That's not how it is anymore. It's quite a different image than a few years ago."
Whether an older adult enjoys a happy and satisfying retirement, and why, are questions of growing concern as thousands of baby boomers reach 65 every day. By 2060, the U.S. Census projects that the population of Americans 65 and older will reach 92 million, more than double the 43 million in 2012.
Further, how they age has important implications not only for themselves, but for the families and communities that support them through the aging process. Although factors such as personality, income, marriage status and geographic location play a role in how people react to retirement, experts say staying engaged is a key factor to healthy aging.
"We know that older adults who are active, not sedentary and have things to occupy their brains are less depressed," said Nancy Molitor, a clinical psychologist in North Suburban Wilmette and an assistant professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern who has worked with older retirees for the past 10 years.
Although just 8 percent of adults ages 50 and older reported current depression, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found, nearly 20 percent of adults ages 55 and older suffer from at least one type of mental health concern. Among these concerns, anxiety and depression were the most common problems that could lead to declines in physical, mental and social functioning.
A major life change such as retirement can cause depression if older adults do not find new ways to fulfill themselves.
"Retirement is a normal part of life," Molitor said. "It's a phase of life, but people enter into it in very different places and expectations and with very different strengths and weaknesses. It's like anything else in human behavior: no size fits all."
Certain lifestyles are more conducive to a satisfying retirement. A French study that was presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Boston in July found that older adults should maintain intellectual and mental stimulation and engagement throughout retirement to help combat isolation and depression.
Living an active lifestyle for older adults means more than just working, according to the American Association of Retired Persons. As nearly 90 percent of adults ages 65 and older want to remain in their own homes and communities for as long as possible, the organization found that giving back through volunteer services and being able to live independently are important factors to aging and retirement.
"The usual ways they connected with people aren't so easy anymore," said Lisa Campbell, a clinical psychologist and co-director of the Park Ridge-based Willow Wellness Center, an organization that offers therapy for loss, depression and life transition issues. "There's some separation with people who they used to work with. They're on the outside and they can often feel disoriented and you need to settle into a different role."
Mary Avellone, a Chicago clinical psychologist, said part of the challenge after retirement is redefining one's identity.
"Have a job, apart from being a parent, those are the two ways people in our society have to create an identity," said Avellone, who has worked with older adults for the past 20 years. "If retirement simply means I'm not working anymore, then there's less identification with what one did."
To help ease the transition, Campbell said planning for life after retirement helps her clients.
"People take time to plan out their finances, but it's really important to think about emotions," said Campbell, who specializes in working with adults ages 50 and older. "Oftentimes people have a lot of expectations about retirement that aren't realistic or that their expectations don't match what's happening. You have to figure out what to do with your time and energy."
Campbell, who founded the Willow Wellness Center with her husband in 2004, said she helps her clients who are struggling with retirement by discussing their interests and hobbies and then channeling those ideas into activities, part-time work or volunteer opportunities.
Similarly Molitor said she recommends that her clients start planning for life after retirement as early as possible so they have a general idea of what to expect. She also said creating a five- to 10-year plan can help with combatting isolation and depression.
Before retiring, Anderson, who lives by herself in Evanston, said she planned out activities she wanted to participate in and sought out part-time work opportunities.
"I've been spending a lot of time in the 'third age,'" said Anderson, who thinks the word retirement will become irrelevant as people continue to stay active and work part-time. "There are more opportunities and people have come to recognize that. I continue to learn. I can say no. I've become more mentally sharp since I've retired."
A 2009 Pew Research Center study, which reflects Anderson's views, found that nearly 60 percent of adults 65 and older surveyed said they feel younger than their actual age.
The North Shore Village, an organization that serves Evanston and Wilmette residents 60 years and older, offers programs and activities that help older adults age in place, such as trips to grocery stores and shows, exercise classes, and discussion groups.
In Illinois, there are currently three operating Villages, as well as more than 85 nationwide, that offer similar programs and activities to older adults, according to the Village to Village Network and a study by The State University of New Jersey's School of Social Work.
"The biggest part of the Village experience is the social engagement," said Helen Gagel, the Village's executive director. "People are happier being part of this community and changing their lives."
Gagel, 67, who has headed the 300-member organization since 2009, said she will retire in a few weeks. As a long-time Evanston resident, Gagel said she was motivated to retire from full-time work after one of her friends was diagnosed with cancer 10 years into retirement.
Although Gagel said she has not had much time to plan for her own retirement, she said she has sought out part-time work opportunities and will continue to participate in book groups and sing with her women's choir.
"You have to do some planning, but also be open to change," Gagel said. "You kind of have to put yourself out there and get a good understanding of what the organization needs and see if it will be a good fit for you."
Like the Village movement, Cantata, a Brookfield-based organization that helps seniors ages 50 and older stay active and age in place, also offers continuing adult education classes, such as computer and technology training, cooking, exercise and fitness, and language courses.
George Columbus, who manages the program, said the most popular classes are the iPad training course and the exercise classes. Although there is no age requirement, Columbus said most students are in their 70s, and some even enroll in their 90s.
"They acquire the skills they need to continue to live independently and live their best lives," said Columbus, who has managed educational and volunteer services at Cantata for about two years. "I not only think it's imperative that they maintain their quality of life, but they realize it too. They seek out opportunities like this to stay active both physically and mentally."
In addition to local Villages and Cantata's educational programs, Gagel said local senior centers, as well as city services and the United Way offer various social activities and volunteer opportunities.
Even though local experts said they don't see a prevalence of retirement life-planning services offered, they expect more of these niche programs to gain in popularity.
"Retirement shouldn't just be about your job, it should be about your lifestyle," said Molitor, who has served as a past president of the Illinois Psychological Association. "There's a niche there and there's a gap there for a person to have this type of discussion with them."
Although older adults may plan for and stay active during retirement, local experts said there are other factors, sometimes out of their control, that can affect mental health after retirement, such as economic status.
A 2009 Pew study found that the average retirement age is 62. However, a 2010 Pew study found that 35 percent of adults ages 62 and older who are still working delayed their retirement because of the recession.
Campbell said there is a major difference between older adults who choose to retire and those who are either forced to retire or who are laid off from their jobs unexpectedly.
Similarly, Gagel said she sometimes worries about her finances after retirement, which is why she will continue to work part-time.
Other demographic factors, such as marriage, gender, geographic location and physical health play key roles in the relationship between retirement and mental health, experts said.
For example, a 2007 study by the University of Michigan found that spouses tend to plan their retirement together, so that if one spouse is still working, the other is less likely to retire.
Molitor said there are gender differences in people's reactions to retirement. While many of her male clients stay home more often and become interested in cooking and gardening, her female clients are more adventurous and seek out volunteer opportunities and enroll in exercise classes.
The geographic location of where older adults choose to retire also contributes to how they react, Molitor said.
"Having a community of people of your age and your family around is probably going to promote healthier aging and less depression," Molitor said. "There's all different ways to age in place in your home."
Anderson and Gagel agreed they would not move to another city to retire because they are both well-connected and active in their own communities.
Physical health also plays a major role in depression after retirement, Avellone said. Although planning is useful, Avellone said health crises increase exponentially with age and can trigger depression if older adults are not able to be physically mobile.
Variances in personality often determine how people react to retirement, Molitor and Campbell said.
"If somebody has been happy, engaged and connected in their lives, they're going to be happy, engaged and connected in retirement," Campbell said. "It's a continuation of one's life."
Additionally, Gagel said the opposite could also happen.
"If they didn't have ties to the community when they were younger and healthy," she said, "where are they going to go now?"
All of these factors should be considered, including demographics, socio-economic status, education and personality variances, to measure how retirement affects mental health, Molitor said.
Similarly, Campbell said understanding that retirement holds different meanings to various groups of people and individuals would also help in more accurately illustrating the relationship between retirement and depression.
"There's a lot more complexity because a lot of people who don't fit the traditional mode of retirement, they might be working part-time or doing a volunteer job," Campbell said. "There's no generalizing about retirement. There's even some talk about the term 'retirement,' whether that's appropriate or not anymore."
After seven years of retirement, Anderson said though she's content overall, she has good and bad days.
Gagel also said she anticipates that life will go on as it always had even after she retires from full-time work in a few weeks.
"We'll know when retirement changes when AARP changes their name," she said. "I see myself being able to finish a book in a week's time instead of three, get more exercise … spend more time with my family and friends: Just live life at a somewhat less frenetic pace. It's not as though you stop being who you are when you retire."

I attended a couple of meetings early on of the Virginia Civil War Sesquicentennial committee. During one meeting "Bud" Robertson explained why the committee would not fund reenactments. He expressed concern that they might prove embarrassing as did the first major reenactment at Manassas in 1961 at the beginning of the Civil War Centennial. Robertson and others wanted to ensure that this time around the state would not engage in celebration, but would promote events that commemorate and educate. This was reinforced by William J. Howell, who serves as Speaker of the House of Delegates and as chairman of the commission.
It was reported a few days ago that the Manassas City Council is planning a 9-day celebration that will include a reenactment in 2011. The event is being organized by the Virginia Civil War Events Inc., which is asking for $100,000 from the city. Not only have they received the funds, the council is also requesting upwards of $250,000 from Richmond. [click to continue…]

Charter Jet Sharing Firm Launches in UK
Victor, a new UK-based aircraft charter booking and price comparison website that officially opened last month, potentially reduces charter costs by selling spare legs and seats to other members. Membership in Victor is free, but is restricted to wealthy private or corporate travellers. The initial focus is on using European operators, flying to UK and European destinations in light jets. The company levies a 5-percent fee to book charter flights through Victor, but 70 percent of any rebooking of what would have been an empty leg, or seats on the operating legs, will be refunded to the booking member or can be used to reduce the amount each passenger pays.

Savvy Shopping at Oryana
Even though our co-op continues to thrive and sales figures are up every month, people still remind us quite often that they believe we are high-priced and out of reach. The implication sometimes is that we are trying to price gouge. Sometimes it's difficult not to react defensively to this oft quoted accusation. But in all honesty, it's true that many products we carry ARE more expensive than at other stores. But rarely is the complete picture ever considered when shoppers make such comparisons. The most popular comparison is between our store and Meijer. While this debate deserves a thorough discussion, which we will do in future posts, today we are simply highlighting the many opportunities to be a smart shopper at Oryana and save lots of money on everyday items!

Food for Change Movie
Food For Change is a work-in-progress documentary about food co-ops, local economies, and food security. The film focuses on the role food co-ops play in communities and gives an historical backdrop to the current cooperative movement by examining the growth of co-ops during the 1930's and the 1970's.
Food Pet Peeves and Delights
A few food pet peeves:
When I'm eating at a restaurant and someone comes to the next table that was recently vacated and pulls out a huge bottle of noxious cleaning spray and proceeds to douse the entire surface of the table and send a cloud of pine-scented fumes over to my table where I am trying to eat.
When people salt their food before they even taste it.
When people overcook meat and it is so tough that it's inedible.

Ever since public hearings began on gun control bills at the state Capitol this year, the issue mentioned the most has been the Second Amendment.
Numerous witnesses at public hearings – in front of legislative committees and special committees – have mentioned the amendment that was written centuries ago.
Robert Steed, a witness Tuesday at a hearing of the insurance committee, told lawmakers that the Second Amendment is only one sentence and 27 words. But politicians, he said, have chosen to \"rip it apart, dismantle it\'\' as the debate continues.
\"How many ways can we dissect one sentence?\'\' Steed asked the committee. \"The words \'shall not be infringed\' mean exactly what they say.\'\'
He added, \"It takes courage to stand on Constitutional principle.\'\'
The 27 words are: \"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.\'\'
The Second Amendment was upheld in 2008 in a famous decision by the U.S. Supreme Court by a 5 – 4 margin with the majority opinion written by longtime Justice Antonin Scalia. The ruling struck down the strict gun laws in Washington, D.C.
But Justice John Paul Stevens, in his dissent, said that gun rights are related to those in the military because of the opening phrase of \"a well regulated militia.\'\' He added that Scalia had taken \"a strained and unpersuasive reading\'\' of the amendment in his majority ruling.
Justice Stephen Breyer, known as a liberal on the court, agreed with Stevens, saying that the Founding Fathers had been talking about \"militia-related, not self-defense related, interests\'\' by specifically mentioning a well-regulated militia.

My family tells me I'm too old to have a baby. How should I respond?
My husband and I want to start trying for a sibling for our 4-year-old daughter, but my family keeps telling me that at 38, I'm too old to have a baby. What should we do?

I have the same question. I am 38, I have a 16, 12 and 9 year old. I am remarrying and my soon to be is 30 and has no children. He wants atleast 2 more. I am healthly, had very easy pregnancies and births with my other 3 but I am wondering "am I too old?" Will I embarass my kids especially my 16 year old to have a pregnant mom. Also what are the true risks? I am researching the subject, but everything that I can find talks about having your 1st baby over 35 or 38 or 40, not continuing. Any advice?posted 10/28/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I was pregnant with my 3rd child at 40. My youngest was 8 yrs. old at the time. I was nervous being older, but he has brought so much joy and happiness to our family. I feel truly blessed.posted 10/04/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
It's none of their business. You are not too "old. There are different risk at a later age but you go to your OB and don't worry about it. It's stupid and rude for people to tell you this. Have a baby :)posted 07/02/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 39 and pregnant with my second child. My daughter is 18 and I've been trying for years. My husband who tried for 15 years with his ex-wife to have I child and it did not work. At 42 he's expecting his first a son. We never think it would happen and considering having another child when our son is about 6 months. So go for because God has bless us. Good Luckposted 07/02/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I was 37 w/our first and now I'm 44 and had twin boys 18 months ago..and no help from the doctors to do it. Your only as old as you feel..as long as your healthy, go for it!posted 06/29/2009 by pourgirl
Who is to say we are too old to bear children? Sarah and Abraham were very old when she had a child like in her 90's but today ppl don't have children in there 90's but it is amazing the amount of women who have childnern in there 40's and beyond. I didn't meet anyone until I was 29 and then we have been together since I tried to have my first as soon as we could I was about 3132 but I miscarried and it was devastanitng to me and then I tried again about 5 yrs later after grieving and being disappointed about my first pregnancy and it was also a miscarriage I was about 37 and I waited again and hadn't planned another one because I had fibroids which I found out in my second pregancy could have affected my pregnancy but my 3rd pregancy i was 39 and 40 at delivery I had to have a csection which I was so disappointed over because I wanted a natural birth but according to my doctor that was not possible everythingturned out fine after allI did have placentapreviahad todelivery5wksearlyposted 06/29/2009 by veggiegirl1966
I can't believe they have the nerve to tell you that. Yes, the older we get the more high risk you are, but you are not too old to have a baby. My aunt Mary (who is 45) just had her second baby with her first one at age 43 and her and both kids were just fine through the pregnancy and birth. I say go for it and as long as you are wanting another baby and are in good health you will be just fine.posted 06/16/2009 by preggoiniowa
I had my first at 39 and am trying for my next at almost 41. Half of what I've read makes makes me feel like I'm so old that I may as well give birth in a nursing home!! So stupid!! Truth is we're not too old and the risks they talk about are minimal to healthy women. This is how I've been thinking about it . . . . alot of women are done having kids at this age and then get pregnant unexpectantly and have the baby and adapt accordinly, so what difference does it make if the baby is planned or not. Am I making any sense?posted 06/16/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I had my first son at age 36, my second at age 41. Now we are going for number three and I am soon to celebrate my 43rd birthday. I am also scared my body isn't as young and strong as it used to be. But I also believe if you want something bad enough, you have to go for it. Even if your family and friends are not supportive (find new friends!) and your family will (in the end)love your children, no matter what! God willing we will realize our dreams and cherish these wonderful babies we are blessed with. Good luck!posted 05/29/2009 by BambiStew
My mom had my sister and I at ages 42 & 44. We had a fabulous childhood! Isn't 38 the new 28? I am grateful that my mom never took the Dr.'s advice to abort, she would have missed out on two wonderful daughters!!!posted 04/08/2009 by Petrajul12
