Exclusive from Beau-coup, these exquisite confetti flowers are imported from Italy and handcrafted from sheer organza ribbons and premium chocolate filled confetti. Confetti is a traditional party favor dating back to the Middle Ages and have since evolved into an elaborate part of wedding receptions and other special events. The number of confetti, which is always an odd number and usually five, symbolize fertility, happiness, health, longevity and wealth. Present each guest with a single daisy adorned with fabric leaves and a paper wrapped stem or bunch a few together for a colorful display. This is truly an unique party favor, a beautiful keepsake from your wedding day. Daisies are available in blue, celadon and beige. Confetti are kosher and parve.

OMG! I've searched off and on for this recipe for 20 years, even calling Bisquick consumer line. I was even desperate enough to ask my ex-wife for the recipe, she being somewhat of a packrat with a huge recipe file, to no avail. A very similar recipe used to be on the back of Bisquick boxes. This was a special Sunday breakfast for my kids that I used to cook 35 years ago and I can clearly see that yellow piece of cardboard in the recipe box.

The difference between this recipe and the old Bisquick recipe is using the juice of one lemon instead of the 3 tablespoons of juice and more importantly, using the zest of that lemon in the sauce along with a little cornstarch to kick up the sauce and thicken it. This balanced the sweetness, sort of a lemony sweet and sour sauce on the ginger pancakes was unusual and outstanding.

Can wait to make this for my kids again. We often talk about it... Thank you!!!

Al Bastini is a beautiful 18 century villa-farmhouse basking on a sunny hillside, with glorious views towards Pisa & the medieval city of Lucca. Full of period character, the house was built in traditional Tuscan style from local stone & terracotta, with high chestnut-beamed ceilings & open fireplaces. It has been lovingly restored to a very high standard with a perfect blend of antiquity & modern comforts. Facilities include air-conditioning, WiFi broadband, satellite 50' plasma TV, DVD, billiard table, and table tennis. Set in 7 acres of gentle sloping terraces with old olive & fruit trees, the landscaped gardens feature flowerbeds, lawns, a heated 10 x 5m pool, & 3 outside eating areas in both sun & shade. There's a loggia, jasmine-scented terrace with stone barbecue, & a wisteria-covered pool-side pergola, all overlooking the wonderful views. There's ample quality garden chairs & sunbeds for relaxation. All the ingredients for an unforgetable holiday.
Tuscany and Umbria are crowded with places to see - the obvious ones being Florence (1 hour's drive), Siena (1.5 hours) and San Gimignano (2 hours). Also well worth a trip is to follow the Piero della Francesca trail (as in John Mortimer's book Summer Lease- John Mortimer also stayed at Al Bastini) which you can start in Arezzo (beautiful city, 1.5 hours' drive) & continue to nearby San Sepolcro and Monterchi, to see other examples of his stunning fresco work. If you have time when in that area, Assisi and Perugia are also well worth a visit. Volterra is a beautiful hilltop town well worth a visit.
Closer to home, of course, are Viareggio & Forte dei Marmi, both very attractive seaside towns. You can also visit Lerici on the coast, a picturesque place with stunning views, from which you can get a short boat trip to Portavenere & enjoy the lovely seafood restaurants. Again on the coast are Cinque Terre, five lovely coastal villages all connected by train, boat or foot & well worth a visit. For a short trip, it is worth going to elegant Montecatini (30 mins) a spa town (but don't wear shorts as you won't be allowed into the baths). You can take the railway (or a taxi!, or drive yourself) up to the old hilltop village which is very pretty. An alternative place for lunch is Montecarlo (20 min) or Vinci (home of Leonardo) which, in addition to some very good restaurants, has a fascinating museum with scaled down models of all his inventions & posters of his works.
Puccini was born in Lucca & the ancient San Giovanni basilica in Lucca holds daily recitals of his music. There's also an annual open air Puccini opera festival thoughout July & August at nearby Torre Del Lago.
For sporting activities: there are some challenging golf courses within an hour's drive, tennis clubs, riding, fishing, paragliding, mountaineering & beautiful walks are all available in the area.
I first saw Al Bastini during the summer of 1985 when I was looking for a holiday home. It was abandoned, the olive groves were overgrown and access was extremely difficult but with its amazing character and fabulous views towards the old towns of Lucca, and Pisa.
It seemed like a wonderful restoration project. I signed the compromesso on Boxing Day 1985 and the final contract in April 1986. Little did I realise at the time that Al Bastini would be my home for the next 30 years.
Les/Alex purchased this house in 1985
Hope you are keeping well and back in your wonderful home Al Bastini. It was lovely to meet you at last and to be able to put a face to the name. I just wanted to thank you for being so very generous and allowing me to visit for the week. You have created the most wonderful home there, of which I am sure you are very aware. I had a wonderful peaceful week by the pool and taking in all of the beautiful scenery.
The house was better than we expected! It was just lovely and was well located ... Far enough from the center of the city and near enough to get there! We were 10 and the house was large enough and never felt crowded! It was homey and comfortable!
It is a unique, charming house!
The owners were so nice and accommodating!!
When we come back to Lucca, we would think of staying no where else!
If you stay there ... ask to have a private chef, Morena, come to the house and give a cooking lesson and make a meal! She was just great! Expect to have one of your better meals in Italy ... and a bit of left overs!
If I could give this more stars I would!

Al Bastini was perfect for our family of 10, ages ranging from 2 to 72, with comfortable sleeping arrangements for all. The house is elegant, beautifully maintained and very well appointed. Pingpong and swimming in the pool were very popular activities when we were not buzzing in and out of Lucca which is close enough to make multiple trips during a day. Lucca is a wonderful town for wandering and it's nice to be slo close to Pisa. The property is up a long road providing beautiful views and total privacy. We enjoyed chatting with Les about the history of the house. We can highly recommend Al Bastini.
This was our 2nd trip to Al Bastini and we had a wonderful stay yet again. The villa is perfectly equipped for those of you with children with the pool, DVD's, table tennis etc. all meaning that our 3 kids (12, 9 and 2) were kept entertained constantly! And the cot and high chair meant that the little one ate well and slept well! There were 11 of us during our stay and the villa never once felt over crowded. We certainly recommend this villa to anyone wanting a perfect family holiday.
Al Bastini is a beautiful old Tuscan farmhouse set in a idyllic setting
in the Tuscan hills. This lovely home provides everything you could need
for a perfect holiday.
The interior of the house is beautifully well equipped with lots of character.
The open terrace leading from the kitchen is a wonderful, relaxing area for evening meals and entertaining.
The swimming pool enjoys wonderful views over the surrounding hills and countryside and is a perfect place to sunbathe or play in with no noise or distractions.
During the summer the flowers and plants surrounding the house are a wonderful blaze of colour with lots of hidden areas to enjoy the views whilst enjoying your evening drink.
A perfect place for either a romantic getaway or for a family wishing to relax and escape the bustle of today.
Margaret Waddell
This was the perfect villa to stay with an extended family. Our group included young people and parents and the combination of swimming pool, snooker and table tennis kept us all occupied at the villa. It was in a perfect setting, surrounded by wildlife, - including wild porcupines - and though a little difficult to find on the first night of arrival, it was very convenient for visiting nearby Lucca - just ten minutes drive away, and en route to Lucca is a well placed Supermarket.
The rooms and facilities were first class, very comfortable and clean, and the full range of BBC programmes available on the television, especially in Olympic week, added to a memorable holiday. There was also free wi-fi available for those addicted to keeping in touch with the outside world.
But the best part was the sense of perfect isolation, especially in the evenings with the full Milky Way available overhead as we sat outside for evening meals.
Other bonuses included being able to use barbeque facilities, and the excellent pool, big enough for the whole family to use for play or swimming, and hammocks to sunbathe or snooze in afterwards.
We were a party of four older adults and four younger adults, and the facilities suited us all, and made for a real family holiday which we will always remember.
The owner, Les, was very helpful on the lead up to the holiday and everything was as expected We had been to the Lucca area a few times before and knew our way around the town, and this is a non-touristy Italian town which is a delight to explore.
We would certainly recommend this villa for a family holiday
So often a place does not match up to the pictures.
In this case, the reality surpassed the pictures, which could not include waking to a chorus of bird song every morning and having a beautiful herb garden we were urged to use.
In addition, our host was very attentive to our questions and needs.
We hope to return.

Just 15 mins from the centre of Lucca, Al Bastini is conveniently located in idyllic countryside within comfortable reach of the historic cities of Pisa, Florence & Siena.
A few minutes away by car are shops and restaurants in the village of San Macario in Piano. A further 5 minutes away are 3 large supermarkets and in another 5 minutes, you will arrive in Lucca. Both Pisa airport and the Versilian coast can be reached in 30 minutes.
Lucca is a beautiful medieval city famed for its towers & renaissance walls, with plenty of cultural sights to see, excellent shops & restaurants. The Versilian coast is a short drive away, with its sandy resorts of Forte Dei Marmi & Viareggio. You can also visit Lerici & Portovenere further up the coast, or take a boat to the picturesque villages of the Cinque Terre. Montecatini the spa town is worth a trip, as are the pretty towns of the Garfagnana. There are several splendid baroque villas outside Lucca worth seeing. Organised sightseeing, cooking courses, & visits to vineyards & olive mills can be pre-booked. There are great restaurants nearby from simple trattorias to Michelin starred. The nearest supermarket is 4km, the nearest restaurant, 3km. Pisa airport is 45 mins by car, with direct flights to US & Europe.

Someone pointed out that this Garmin watch is a little on the clunky side - that's true. I have a small wrist,and the watch part of it is long and flat and doesn't really fit nicely. They had to pack the GPS receiver inside the band. But no matter - with the band strapped tight, it stays put, and it's not so huge that people would say "What's that thing on her wrist?" It still looks like a watch. A funky sort of a watch maybe, but not a television set or anything.
I think you need to decide if you want GPS or not. I decided that yes, I really wanted GPS to measure my distance, because I run and jog and hike and travel quite a bit, so my routes are always changing. In my ideal world, I'd be able to pop up a map on my PC and see my route, and have a table showing all my workouts and how many miles they total, in running, biking, etc. I could finally answer the folks at the running store when they ask how many miles are on my running shoes.
I ended up with this Garmin, far and away the best choice for just what I wanted. All the other GPS solutions were separate strap-on-the-arm ones that contain AAA batteries that need to be replaced every 12 hours of operation - ouch, costly. Even with rechargables, it would be a hassle to be always taking them out, plugging them into the charger, putting them back in the arm-band-GPS unit. The watch on those other devices was just a receiver for the arm-unit. Granted, it meant that their watches could be a little smaller ... I really liked the design of the Timex the best, and the Polar was small too.Read more ›
In this case I was very impressed. I did a lot of research on several GPS based training watches and I kept coming back to Garmin. I love my nav unit for my car so I gambled on this watch knowing they aren't primarily a manufacturer of training gear.
I must say the watch when set up and calibrated works great for me. If you have issues with the bezel try to recalibrate it. I mainly only use it when I start my runs and it is intuitive and easy way to navigate the menus without a ton of buttons. I set up additional information screens, set it to auto switch the screens in a slow pace, and lock the bezel when I'm running. I'm not super picky about all the information I see, so for me it is generally pace (you have a ton of options to choose from for each item) distance, and HR info.
I've been on several 3-5 mile runs to see if it is accurate, and it works great. I took it recently on a 7 mile run through a dense park area and combined with my foot pod it accurately mapped and recorded the workout. I believe someone stated that you couldn't use the GPS and foot pod together, which is incorrect. I love that I can now see the elevation changes. I had no idea there was a 600 ft elevation change on one of my routes.
Lastly, I must say I find the HRM actually better than my old Polar unit, though the strap itself might be a tad bulky for smaller men and women. The watch itself is pretty small when you consider what is packed into it, and it looks like a watch not a GPS strapped to your forearm.
I run an average of 22 miles a week, and this is one of my favorite purchases yet.Read more ›
Along came announcements of the 310xt and 405cx. Initially, I was set on getting the 310xt because of it's large screen and waterproof capability. However, it wouldn't be released till mid May and that model wouldn't even include the HRM. Originally I thought the 405cx wasn't available until mid May also, according to Amazon's 405cx preorder. But to my surprise, I found it available for free overnight shipping from the Clever Training website for 369.99. I got mine for 314.95 with free ground shipping, so do your research and you might land a "premium" deal on this heart rate monitors in USA ;-)
I'm getting side tracked here, I decided on the 405cx because I was hoping Garmin would have ironed out all the flaws of it's previous iteration. I've never owned the 405 or 305, so I can't say how much better the 405cx is.Read more ›

This might seem like an unusual dish, a pasticciata (a layered casserole) of bread and cheese that's baked, cut into portions, and served in a bowl of hot broth. Yet the tastes and eating pleasure of seuppa ou piat will be completely familiar and welcome to anyone who loves the gratineed crouton of French onion soup or enjoys a crispy grilled-cheese sandwich with a bowl of rich chicken broth alongside. This is a good dish for company, because you can have both the broth and the pasticciata hot and ready to be put together when your guests come. (Chicken stock is my preference, but a savory vegetable stock or a meaty beef broth is just as good.) --Lidia Bastianich
- 8 cups tasty chicken broth (or clear beef or vegetable stock)
- Kosher salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon soft butter for the baking dish
- 1/2 pound fontina from Valle d'Aosta (or Italian Fontal)
- 1 cup freshly grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano- Reggiano, plus more for passing
- 18 slices Italian bread, cut 1/2 inch thick from a long oval loaf, left out to dry overnight*
Recommended Equipment: A baking dish or oval gratin dish, 3 quarts or larger; heavy aluminum foil
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven, and heat to 400 degrees. Heat the broth almost to a simmer--season with salt to taste--and keep it hot. Butter the sides and bottom of the baking dish. Shred the fontina through the larger holes of a hand grater and toss the shreds with the grana (grated hard cheese).
Arrange half of the bread slices in one layer in the baking dish. Ladle out 1 cup of broth, and drizzle it on the bread slices, slightly moistening them all. Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of the bread in an even layer. Cover the cheese with the remaining bread slices, filling the entire surface of the dish. Moisten these slices with another cup or so of stock; top the bread with all the remaining cheese, scattered evenly.
Tent the pasticciata with a sheet of heavy aluminum foil, arching it so it doesn't touch the cheese topping, and pressing it against the sides of the baking dish. Set the dish in the oven, and bake until heated through, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue baking for 10 minutes or more, until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Take the dish from the oven, and let it cool and set for 5 minutes or so.
To serve: Cut out large squares of pasticciata and, with a spatula, transfer them to warm shallow soup or pasta bowls. Ladle a cup of hot broth over each portion and serve immediately, passing more grated cheese at the table.
*Country Italian bread is best for this pasticciata. The width of the bread can vary since it is layered snugly in the baking dish, then cut in squares when served.

For anyone who knows of Lidia, she does not just give you recipes and photos; you can get those from any Italian cookbook, and there nothing wrong in that. But I truly feel that her purpose in all her books and endeavors is to appreciate the Italian history and culture hence her books are three-fold: you are given a geographical and culinary education along with the historical education so that you will be able to appreciate how, why, and where the recipes have been given.
So in essence, you are educated on the past history and influence that brought certain dishes to that region and how the geographical region lent itself to encourage certain meals and traditions due to the hard work and joy of the people who lived there. It is through the collaboration of Lidia and her lovely daughter Tanya, that we are given not just the standard information and recipes but instead, the food history, the rich culture, and the appreciation for what you are preparing so that you are not just cooking; you are creating the generations of family joy and culinary history that was passed on from parents to children and to which we need to cling to especially today.
In this particular book, her dedication is to her father, Vittorio. Her childhood and coming of age in this country leaves you with the sincere appreoiation of Lidia's need for acknowledging all who helped to shape and influence her ideology and vocation to this culinary artform.Read more ›
The writing is casual and friendly, and the photos genuinely enhance the cookbook. But mostly we're here for the recipes. And they do not fail us. We have a roasted lobster dish from Sardinia, heading north to polenta with white beans and black kale from Valle d'Aosta, and finally beer-basted roast chicken from Trento. The regional cuisines of Italy, local ingredients and preparations, are on display here, and with the wonders of the American grocery store, are quite accessible.
Like Spaghetti in Tomato-Apple Sauce (Trentino-Alto Adige), Risotto Milan-Style with Marrow & Saffron (Lombardy), Beef Filet with Wine Sauce (Valle D'Aosta), Tagliatelle with ricotta-based Walnut Pesto (Emilia-Romagna), Fish with Pepper Sauce (bell pepper based, with orange zest, tomatoes, and a dash of peperoncino flakes) (Le Marche), Crostini with Black Truffle Butter (Umbria), Meatless Pecorino Meatballs (cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, herbs) (Abruzzo), Fresh Cavatelli with Cauliflower (Molise), Rigatoni with Lentils (Basilicata), Spicy Calamari (Calabria), Flatbread Lasagna (Sardinia).
Familiar and peasant dishes include: Braised Veal Shanks (Lombardy), Roasted-Pepper & Olive Salad with Fontina (Valle D'Aosta), Bread Salad with Summer Vegetables (Liguria), Spaghetti with Clam Sauce (Le Marche), Wedding Soup (Basilicata), Baked Eggplant in Tomato Sauce (Sardinia).
There are numerous recipes for making fresh pasta and dumplings and many family-friendly comfort foods. A particular favorite of mine is Meat Sauce Genova Style which features a beef pot roast braised slowly in a wine-tomato sauce flavored with sage and rosemary, thickened with toasted pine nuts. There's plenty of sauce for a second meal (or a first course, as Bastianich suggests) of pasta and the whole thing can be made a day ahead. Scrumptious!Read more ›

A Fascinating Look at How Doctors Choose to Die
Our final days are not like theirs. But they should be.
YEARS AGO, Charlie, a highly respected orthopedist and a mentor of mine, found a lump in his stomach. The diagnosis was pancreatic cancer. His surgeon was one of the best: He had even invented a new procedure for this exact cancer that could triple the five-year-survival odds—from 5 percent to 15 percent—albeit with a poor quality of life.
Charlie was uninterested. He focused on spending time with family. He got no chemotherapy, radiation, or surgical treatment. Medicare didn't spend much on him. Several months later, he died at home.
Doctors die, of course—but not like the rest of us. What's unusual is not how much treatment they get compared with most Americans but how little. They have seen what is going to happen, and they generally have access to any medical care they could want. But doctors prefer to go gently.
They know enough about death to understand what all people fear most: dying in pain and dying alone. They've talked about this with their families. They want to be sure, when the time comes, that no heroic measures will happen. They know modern medicine's limits. Almost all medical professionals have seen "futile care" performed. That's when doctors bring the cutting edge of technology to bear on a grievously ill person near the end of life. The patient will get cut open, perforated with tubes, hooked up to machines, and assaulted with drugs.
All of this occurs in the intensive care unit at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars a day. It buys misery we would not inflict on a terrorist. I cannot count the number of times fellow physicians have told me, in words that vary only slightly, "Promise me if you find me like this that you'll kill me." Some medical personnel wear medallions stamped NO CODE to tell physicians not to perform CPR on them.
The Drawbacks of "Do Everything"
How has it come to this—that doctors administer care that they wouldn't want for themselves? The simple, or not-so-simple, answer: patients, doctors, and the system.
Imagine that someone has lost consciousness and been admitted to an emergency room. When doctors ask family members—shocked, scared, and overwhelmed—if they want "everything" to be done, they answer yes. But often they just mean "everything that's reasonable." They may not know what's reasonable, nor, in their confusion and sorrow, will they ask or hear what a physician may be telling them. For their part, doctors told to do "everything" will do it, whether reasonable or not.
People also have unrealistic expectations of what doctors can accomplish. Many think of CPR as a reliable lifesaver, when the results are usually poor. I've seen hundreds of people in the emergency room after they got CPR. Just one, a healthy man with no heart troubles, walked out of the hospital. Even though only a small percentage of healthy people will have a good response to CPR, we would always do it to give them that chance. But with terminal people, virtually no one responds. If a patient has severe illness, old age, or a terminal disease, the odds of a good outcome from CPR are infinitesimal and the odds of suffering are overwhelming (see sidebar).
Content continues below ad
Physicians enable too. Even those who hate to administer futile care must address the wishes of patients and families. Imagine an emergency room with grieving, possibly hysterical, family members. Establishing trust under such circumstances is delicate. People may think a doctor is trying to save time, money, or effort—rather than attempting to relieve suffering—if he advises against further treatment.
Even when the right preparations have been made, the system can still swallow people. One of my patients was a 78-year-old named Jack; he had been ill for years and had undergone about 15 major surgeries. He explained to me that he never, under any circumstances, wanted to be placed on life support. One Saturday, Jack suffered a massive stroke and was admitted to the emergency room unconscious. Doctors did everything possible to resuscitate him, and they put him on life support. This was Jack's worst nightmare. When I arrived and took over his care, I spoke to his wife and to hospital staff, bringing in my office notes with his preferences. Then I turned off the life-support machines and sat with him. He died two hours later.
Even with all his wishes documented, Jack hadn't died as he'd hoped; the system had intervened. A nurse, I later found out, even reported my unplugging of Jack to the authorities as a possible homicide. Nothing came of it; Jack's wishes had been spelled out explicitly, and he'd left the paperwork to prove it. But the prospect of a police investigation is terrifying. I could far more easily have left Jack on life support against his wishes, prolonging his suffering. I would even have made a little more money, and Medicare could have ended up with an additional $500,000 bill.
Choosing Quality of Life
Doctors don't overtreat themselves. Almost anyone can die in peace at home. Pain can be managed better than ever. Hospice care, which focuses on providing terminally ill patients with comfort and dignity, offers most people better final days. Studies have found that people in hospice often live longer than people with the same disease who seek active cures.
Several years ago, my older cousin Torch (born at home by the light of a flashlight—or torch) had a seizure that turned out to be the result of lung cancer that had spread to his brain. With aggressive treatment, including three to five hospital visits a week for chemotherapy, he would live perhaps four months. Torch decided against treatment and simply took pills for brain swelling. He moved in with me.
We spent the next eight months having fun like we hadn't had in decades. We went to Disneyland, his first time. Torch was a sports nut, and he was very happy to watch sports and eat my cooking. He had no serious pain and remained high-spirited. One day, he didn't wake up; he spent the next three days in a coma-like sleep, then died.
Torch was no doctor, but he wanted a life of quality, not just quantity. If there is a state of the art of end-of-life care, it is this: death with dignity. As for me, my physician has my choices. There will be no heroics; I hope to go gentle into that good night. Like my mentor Charlie. Like my cousin Torch. Like my fellow doctors.

My wish would be to send me to the most cutting edge treatment not yet available, and make it happen, ill be the first to try a solid experiment and if it works great. If not it can benefit the future. I will do my part.
The doctors know that the outcome of standard cancer treatment is far from ideal, even often in those cases where the treatment takes away the cancer. You perhaps get a patient free from cancer, but you will mostly not get a healthy person thereafter.
I do not want any wasted end-of-life heroics. Just give me a pain med if needed and be sure I can breathe. Let nature take care of the rest. :)
How about when you get the diagnosis of a terminal disease like the orthopod in the story that is expensive to treat and has a very low probability of survival you sign an agreement with medicare (or what ever insurance you have) that you will seek only palliative care in exchange for 40% of the expected cost to treat the illness aggressively. I've seen studies that state 50%+ of medicare/medicaid dollars are spent in the last year of a patients life with no effect on quality or quantity of life. Saves the system a load of money and stimulates the economy as you now have some cash to complete the bucket list
It's not so much the fear of death as it is the process of dying that I and others fear. I fear it less having sat with my mom and my wife's parents as they each passed on. What is the most fearful is the uncertainty of when and how the passage will take place. I am reasonably healthy and 65 and have a DNR. I do not want extraordinary measures taken.
I feel the same way, and I think perhaps this is an important point that has been missed from this article. Doctors work so closely with the processes of life that they understand dying is an important and undeniable part of life. On the other hand, for their patients they understandably don't want to allow the irreversible to happen without the patient and family being on board. I wonder if our distance from the natural world (animals and really relying on our own gardens to feed us) and changes in community culture has influenced the current generations perception of death?
Agree … and you can probably add our distance from aging parents/relatives as the trend is to place sick and dying family members in care facilities rather than caring for them at home. But I also think faith is a large factor as well. Having the knowledge that there is more to death than the grave is a comfort.
DNR is not enough. 15 years in emergency medicine and I have seen hundreds of DNRs violated by the family that shows up and says "You have to do everything for grandpa." You must have a living will and medical power of attorney. The person you designate as your medical power of attorney MUST be someone that you know will follow your instructions to the letter when under the stress of your being unable to communicate your wishes. Make sure your documents go into specifics like feeding tubes and mechanical ventilation
My late husband said it best… "The dying can take and awful lot of resources from the living." When it's my turn i would accept treatment ONLY if there is reasonable hope of a dignified, meaningful, achieving quality of life. Otherwise all that money spent on tubes, dialysis, etc. I would rather see go to a newborn baby. I have had my turn and a meaningful, achieving life. LET THE NEWBORN BABY STRUGGLING FOR LIFE HAVE THE RESOURCES, NOT ME IF I WILL DIE ANYWAY. I want the courage to go like the doctor in this article and instead of a funeral I want my friends to go to Starbucks and celebrate the life I lived.
It isn't always the family who wants too much care. At 78 my grandmother got very ill. We took her to the hospital and were sure enough that this was the end that we called the rest of the family who lived out of town to see her before she passed. After a few days she bounced back and wanted to go home. Doctors refused and ran test after test; they were sure she had some sort of cancer and were on a mission to find it. After tormenting her for days a family member thought to ask her doctor what they would do if they found cancer. He admitted that since she was too weak for surgery or chemo that there was probably nothing they could do for her. We took her out of the hospital. She had 1 more good year then got sick and died of cancer.
How about donate our living diseased bodies for human experimentation ? enough with the mouse BS. We send soldiers to kill for us and call them heroes how about we die in the name of humanity fighting cancer ?
It sounds like you believe terminally ill patients have a moral duty to die. May they never lose their value as human beings.
a. its a choice
b. yes its moral to die so you can save the life of generations. I would gladly take this chance..if given an opportunity.
c. Cancer strips you from your value as human. Please visit any Hospice center and talk to the living zombies there.
I really liked this article and agree with it. I'm a nurse who works in a LTAC (long term acute care facility). Most of the patients on my floor came to us from an acute care hospital because they are on a ventilator and couldn't be weaned.(able to breath without it). We try to wean them off. It is a long process, takes months or years. Most of the elderly never get off the vent. They get one infection and complication after another until they finally die. Most of these patients also have g-tubes (tube implanted in their stomachs for nutrition) and some are also on dialysis. Most are full codes. I have coded patients in their nineties. Most of the time it is the family who wants "everything done." To be fair, some patients want to be kept alive on a vent. I have no problem with that. But I think people really need to think about end of life issues, about quality of life versus quantity. A good book to read on this subject is "A Death Prolonged." I can't remember the author. It was written by a doctor and you can find it on Amazon.
If I know for certain that I'm doomed to die in a few months I'd rather not be drowned in medicines and surgical procedures until the end. Yeah, I'd rather die in peace. It's not a question of dignity really, but peace of mind. It's no use spending your last days trying to fight a battle that can't be won. However, if I know I have a fair chance of survival, I'll go through the treatment anyway for the sake of my family and friends. So it all depends on the odds, and should it come to this, I can only hope the physicians can calculate the odds accurately and give me a clear picture of what will happen. I'm a medical student, by the way.
I'm surprised you are still a student. Not to be a downer but I wouldn't spend my time preparing for a future I know I will never have. Enjoy your time left.
I hope you have completed the required paperwork in detail and have named someone you can trust to carryout your wishes.
Pure Horseshit. No one is doomed to die no matter what the way undereducated jackasses with MDs opine. Faith [and do not confuse Faith with religion] has done far more impossible things over 1000s of years than one may imagine. Start here: Quantum Physics says there are over 11 different dimensions. Faith, 'being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see' often can cross transmute, transpond, transfer, images or matter through the Invisible Walls of those Weird Dimensions, conjoin them and produce Miracles, or the Simply Unusual. Thoughts have substance and weight and energy. Our ignorance as the Race Occupying this planet has not yet come close to kenning to such things. Because we are so virtually primitive, do nor resign yourself to defeat. Boris 404-980-2008
I agree, but if you DO have faith what's wrong with staying home and trying to be comfortable? Maybe use some homeopathic or unconventional methods? Being in the hospital may destroy ones spirit and hopes.

With the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in the recent past, there is much to consider. In addition to finding out what Chicago had to offer (it was likely less well known to the members on either coasts or the several thousands that come from overseas) and possible equipment and supply purchases that can be visited at the vendor, another rite of fall is the visit to Publisher's Row—books to examine and the ones to buy. With this in mind, and your list hopefully not lost, let me start you off with an item that may be of interest: the 'llen Reference Atlas—A Digital Color Brain Atlas of the C57BL/6J Male Mouse' by Hong Wei Dong. This atlas in its spiral-bound form is meant to be a companion to the hugely valuable 'llen Brain Atlas of the Mouse Brain' which 's an interactive, genome-wide image database of gene expression'.
This atlas on the one hand is similar to its related volumes, but it also has substantial additions such as a lengthy foreword/introduction which is welcome in an atlas and provides a good backdrop to what follows. The historical context of brain atlases follows the reader through the purely anatomical to the chemical and tract tracing neuroanatomy which provided dynamic new perspectives on the organization of cells and nuclei in the central nervous system. The next stop, and where this volume sits as an invaluable source book, is molecular neuroanatomy that was heralded by the introduction of in situ hybridization histochemistry and then its massively parallel use in the construction of online databases such as GenePaint (http://www.eurexpress.org/ee/) and the Allen Brain Atlas (http://www.brain-map.org/). One element that emerges from this effort is that the boundaries of traditional structures are able to be more precisely redefined in the light of expression patterns.
The meat of the volume, however, is the atlas and here it can be judged from at least three perspectives. First, as a stand-alone atlas. Here this volume is a mixed bag. It is not as detailed as one would like and for the coronal sections, half of the image is taken up by a schematic drawing of the brain to indicate what regions you may be looking at in the Nissl-stained material. It is nice to have this extracting and schematizing of the brain but it is also a bit distracting because in some cases, it does not faithfully match the Nissl-stained section and presents but half a brain. It is always nice to match structures based upon bilateral symmetry.
Second, as a compendium to the hugely successful online Allen Brain Atlas, it is excellent. Although one can access these images from the Allen site, it permits one to stay focused on the in situ images and not have to go between the labeled images and the schematic. This makes for a more efficient and informed use of the online atlas.
Third, although this feature may not find as much use as might be warranted, on the obligatory CD that comes with the atlas, there is also a set of PDFs of the brain sections that could be used to map out data obtained from the analysis of brain sections. Thus, one can print out regions of brain and use them to map out the injections, immunostained areas, lesions or one's own in situ data.
The atlas also provides initial glimpses at the computational, database, imaging and informatics aspects of neuroanatomy which will see an increasing role in our appreciation of connectivity and organization of the brain. In this way, this atlas acts not only as a key companion to the Allen Reference Atlas but also as a harbinger of things to come.

Five dudes are making serious bank off the Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa war by turning the epic Twitter feud into fashion.
We Own Your Kids, a t-shirt company that puts Twitter beef on t-shirts, was just in its idea phase Wednesday when Kanye unleashed his Twitter commandments on Wiz.
No word if they're going to put Amber Rose's tweet on a tee, but if they do it'd be a sure sellout.

Posted by TMZ Staff
Tyga is distancing himself from Kylie Jenner … we've learned he's just moved, far far away.
Tyga's been looking for a new pad for some time, but his search has been focused on Calabasas, so he could be near Kylie.
Well he's found a place to live, and it's an hour's drive from Kylie's home. We've learned Tyga's renting a home off of Sunset Plaza, above the Sunset Strip. He's paying $35k a month for a house that has jetliner views of the city.
The house has 4 bedrooms and an infinity pool … it was marketed as a sexy bachelor pad.
We called the realtor on the property, James Harris of the The Agency, for more details … but they had no comment.

Rob Kardashian — I'm In a Relationship with Blac Chyna
by TMZ Staff
Rob Kardashian isn't using Blac Chyna because she has a sofa to sleep on … he's in a relationship with her.
Sources connected to Rob and Chyna tell us, Rob has been happier in the last few weeks than he's been in years. He says Chyna has given him something that has been missing from his life for a long time … the capacity to have fun. He also says Chyna motivates him.
We're told Chyna hasn't had to force him to leave the house with her … it's been his idea to get out and go places, including the gym.
Our sources say Rob is NOT in the relationship with Chyna to spite his family … as one source put it, "He adores her."
As for the future … Rob is staying with Chyna indefinitely and has no plans to move back to Khloe's mansion. We're told she and other members of her family have made it clear in texts and other messages … they're beyond pissed at him for taking up with an enemy of the sisters.
One final thing. A source close to Kim tells us she's come around, and believes if Rob is truly happy and healthy with Chyna … then more power to him.

The Smith Clan Takeover: Willow Models New Sock Line + Jada Spotted On New Orleans Set of New Movie + Will Pushes "Concussion" In Madrid
The Smith family is carrying on about their busy lives after adding to the storm of #OscarSoWhite controversy. Find out what they're up to inside…
Willow Smith is getting her model behavior on as she taps into her extra free spirited and eclectic style. The 15-year-old teamed up with Stance Socks on a new collection, so you already know she's serving every color, print and pattern possible.
Pretty. The Stance Socks heads described Willow as the perfect curator for their brand saying:
"We'd call Willow Smith the ultimate provocateur of artistic expression, but even a label like that feels a little too finite for someone so impossible to define."
Down in New Orleans, Willow's mom Jada Pinkett Smith is filming a new movie called Bad Moms:
That explains why she's dressed like she's headed to a Bake Sale and PTA meeting. Jada threw on her UGGS to go have an intense phone convo.
We have a feeling it's going to be a comedy as her co-stars are fellow celeb moms Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell.
Down in Madrid:
Will Smith is still pushing his Concussion movie and catching up with his international fans at the Spanish premiere at the Callao cinema.
(EXCLUSIVE) Pharrell Williams Ex Partner Demands Singer Hand Over "The Voice" Contract & Reveal Salary
theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports, Pharrell Williams is refusing to hand over his contract for The Voice to his ex-business partners in their nasty legal battle and the company is demanding the judge force the singer/producer to show them exactly how much he rakes in per season on the talent show.
Pharrell was sued by the production company, Uncommon Content Partners, who produced the singers YouTube show "ARTST TLK". The show featured celebrity interviews and ran for over 12 episodes in its first season and was set to begin production on a Season 2.
However, the producers explained Pharrell kicked them to the curb when he signed on to become a judge on "The Voice", despite them investing millions into the YouTube show. They filed suit demanding millions in damages for all the money they lost.
Pharrell said the contract he signed had a provision that allowed him to back out of a Season 2 if no schedule could be agreed upon by both parties. He asked the judge to throw out the lawsuit and award his ex-business partner nothing.
The producers fired back in court documents, stating that Pharrell was attempting to deceive the court about the terms of the agreement. The company said the agreement specifically states that singer/producer is obligated to complete a 2nd season of the YouTube show and the only provision is they have to agree upon a schedule — it doesn't state if they can't Pharrell is allowed to abandon the project.
The company said that Pharrell clearly does NOT work 24 hours a day 7 days a week on The Voice and he could have worked out a schedule with them to fulfill his contract with them for a Season 2.

Pharrell returned to court explaining that this lawsuit is a waste of time due for everyone involved due to the contract stating clearly he never had to do a season 2.
He explained that the agreement he signed with the production company states that both parties will work together to come up with a shooting schedule that does NOT conflict with Pharrell's prior professional commitments aka The Voice.
Pharrell said he wasn't going to wait around and pass up on the chance to be a judge on The Voice to see if a Season 2 of the YouTube show was going to happen. He also said he wasn't required to do so and thus be didn't breach any contract.
Recently, Pharrell's former business partner returned back to court demanding the judge order an injunction to stop the singer's talk show played on Apple Music's Beats 1 Radio program that he launched this year entitled, 'OTHERtone'. He claimed that the show – where Pharrell is the host and interviews various celebrity guests – was a breach of the original deal by not getting other hosting gigs approved by them.
They state Pharrell never informed them about his new Apple Radio show and didn't offer them a right to produce the show per their contract. They demanded the court slap the singer with an injunction and not allow him to continue hosting the show until the legal battle was decided. Pharrell blasted his ex-partners and said the contract he signed was void and he could do whatever he pleased without their permission.
Then on January 22nd, Uncommon Content Partners filed docs in the case demanding the court order Pharrell to hand over his contract he signed to a judge on The Voice.
They accuse Pharrell of refusing to hand over the contract citing confidentiality provisions.
The company says there are numerous reports about Pharrell's salary for The Voice and state the singer makes anywhere from 8-12 million per season. U.C.P. points out that the salary has already been reported and the argument of confidentiality is nonsense.
U.C.P. says that the contract will let them know exactly how much Pharrell is racking in per season and will help them show motive for not producing a second season with them. They are demanding the judge order the singer to hand over the contract ASAP.

Fellow FTB blogger and atheist icon Greta Christina was recently diagnosed with endometrial cancer. While the outlook fortunately seems positive, she'll be unable to work for some time, and has asked for assistance with her living expenses. Greta is one of the most inspiring and insightful leaders of the atheist movement, and I ask that all of you do what you can to help her out during this difficult time. Please contribute what you can, and get the word out online and among your families and friends. If nothing else, send her your messages of support. We're all pulling for you, Greta.
One thought on "Please support Greta Christina"
Done and done. You and Greta Cristina are two shining lights in the world of LGBT activism and ungodliness. I had never really understood what it is to be trans, and I'm glad to take this vicarious journey with you. I learn so much new from every post.
I'm 66, and I still feel that a day gone by without having learned something new, is a day wasted.
Thanks for all you're doing.

Once more Republicans are engaging in blatant hypocrisy. After all, Republicans invented the race card.
It was launched as a means of regaining power in the mid-sixties. This occurred after President Lyndon B. Johnson, the first Southerner to become president since the Reconstruction, conceded to associates that his active leadership in the civil rights field, culminating with passage of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Bill and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, meant loss of the South for Democrats for the next 50 years.
The Republicans under Richard Nixon devised a "law and order" and "Southern strategy" campaign. Lee Atwater later admitted that his participation in this and subsequent Republican efforts to win the South involved using these code terms to signal voters regarding what they were really talking about -- civil rights.
Vice President Spiro Agnew was Richard Nixon's enforcer. His speeches to southern audiences were laced with blistering attacks against radicals and appeals to law and order. He was frequently saluted by bands striking up Dixie, a reversion to the past tradition being revered, the pre-Johnson civil rights period.
African American talk show host Larry Elder became enraged in a Larry King Live appearance over the issue of racism and a link to Republicans It is noteworthy to observe what happened at the beginning of the presidential campaign of his hero Ronald Reagan.
Reagan's 1980 general election presidential campaign against incumbent President Jimmy Carter was launched in Philadelphia, Mississippi a curious choice but for one key factor.
This was the town where civil rights workers had come from the north seeking justice for African Americans and were slain in the process.
Was the Republican campaign leadership unaware of this historical fact? Or were they sending a message to southerners that the good old boy network would be back if only their candidate gained the presidency?
What was the 1988 presidential race all about? Chief strategist Lee Atwater later admitted that the race card was at work through attempts to demonize Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis.
Not only was there the blatant Willie Horton race card 30-second ad. Not only were references made to Dukakis' Greek American ancestry through unconscionable mentions of individuals of darker skin pigmentation seeking to overrun traditional America.
No, there was even more. It took Jewish New York City Congressman Stephen Solarz to expose two European Nazi Holocaust deniers who up to the time of this exposure were heading a special European American committee on behalf of Vice President George H. W. Bush.
How about the Trent Lott incident at the birthday tribute to Senator Strom Thurmond, the 1948 presidential standard bearer for the States Rights Party? Lott, liberated by alcoholic consumption, explained that it would have been for America's betterment had Thurmond's anti-civil rights posture succeeded.
Remember just a few months back? Michael Steele, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, made a negative comment about Rush Limbaugh.
Steele was promptly compelled to apologize. Limbaugh had reason to boast that he was indeed the titular leader of the Republican Party.
Limbaugh's current antics are so racist that he has even taken a tragic instance of some black students beating up a white student on a school bus and stating that this is an example of conduct in "Obama's America," begging an inference that this is the type of activity Obama supports.
