Along with recent events and achievements, now is a time to reflect on the long term accomplishments of Honduras' Organization for Youth Empowerment (OYE). This past week marks the fifth year anniversary of OYE. Over the past five years OYE has cultivated a strong sense of community in El Progreso, Honduras, and created lasting changes by educating and empowering youth to be positive leaders among their peers. Since its founding in 2005, OYE has expanded to sponsor 75 scholarships. 75 at risk Honduran youth are given the tools they need to attain the education and resources necessary to be agents of change in their communities.
Long term success of OYE can be measured by its most recent achievements. For instance, OYE Ritmo (The Radio Program) has just hosted its second successful concert with Honduran star Guillermo Anderson. Planned, organized, and executed by OYE Scholarship students this concert brought together members of the Progreso community to celebrate the culture and music of Honduras.
Additionally, last week 58 OYE scholarship students graduated from a four month long capacity building program. During the program, OYE scholars explored topics designed to educate and empower them. Over the four months students discussed what OYE meant to them personally and as an organization. They addressed challenging and important topics such as self-esteem, family/domestic issues, and what their national identity consisted of. The OYE scholars set personal goals that will contribute to their success present and future. The culmination of this capacity building program addressed the taboo issue of sexuality. On Friday, June 4th, the final capacity building session was held in conjunction with Comvida, a Honduran non-profit focused on youth health, community involvement, and the prevention of HIV/AIDS. Everyone's hard work on this project produced 58 qualified and confident young leaders that have the responsibility to share their knowledge with the community.

At what point does an organized petition drive become a national movement? We're not sure if there's a distinct line separating the two, but we do know that there's an effort out there that's looking more and more like a movement, and we're not sure it's getting the attention it deserves in the mainstream media. So we'll give it some attention here, not necessarily as an endorsement but as an encouragement, to spur more discussion.
Besides, it relates to one of the biggest Las Vegas issues of 2012.
As much as some of my colleagues in the press might not want to admit it, and as much as the National Rifle Association would be loath to agree, the media and the pro-gun lobby actually have something very important in common.
Both are staunch defenders in this nation's top two constitutional amendments.
Let's start with a quick look at each one.
The First Amendment:
By Paul Newberry
AP National Writer
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The BCS championship is going old school.
In this era of wide-open, pass-happy offenses, college football's ultimate prize will be decided Monday night by two throwback teams, No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama.
The Fighting Irish (12-0) have run for nearly has many yards as they've managed through the air. The Crimson Tide (12-1) is coming off a dominant performance on the ground in the Southeastern Conference championship.

Gateway and Dell moved first to market their products directly to consumers through catalogs and direct sales forces. Putting those operations to the Web was a natural, says Charles Gerlach, director of e-strategy for the technology industries practice at Mainspring, Cambridge, Mass. "One of the things that made Dell and Gateway very good at selling online was that they had that direct-selling infrastructure in place to start with."
Dell has made the most out of selling direct. "Its success has completely unsettled that industry," says Gerlach. Founded as a direct-to-consumer company, Dell began selling computers online in 1996. Today, Internet sales have hit $30 million a day and make up more than 35% of the company's revenues, says John Fruehe, business manager for Dell online. By year's end, Dell forecasts online sales will command half of its revenue.
The Internet is an especially strong selling venue because each computer can be customized by the manufacturer for the person ordering it, Fruehe says. Customer typically visit dell.com a half-dozen times to gather information before making a purchase. "The Internet allows us to get close to our customers," says Fruehe, "to meet their needs directly."
An antitrust iceberg?
A s manufacturers define their Web strategies-and their relationships with online retailers-many are trying to control the sale of their goods on the Internet. That raises antitrust concerns. Laws from traditional sales channels usually apply. But it's a good idea to watch what's emerging in this area, says Richard E. Donovan, a partner in the New York office of Kelley Drye & Warren and head of the law firm's antitrust and trade regulation practice.
What antitrust concerns do manufacturers have?
On one end of the spectrum, manufacturers are asking if they can reserve the right to sell their goods on the Internet for themselves. On the other end, companies are looking for broad exposure. They want to allow anyone to sell their products, but they want to know if they can restrict how the products are displayed, for example. Each implicates antitrust and trade regulation laws.
Are companies legally able to restrict who sells their products online?
The Supreme Court basically has said that manufacturers have the right to restrict who sells their products, with several factors that may create exceptions, such as market penetration. This applies to mail-order sales, and it should apply to the Internet.
What should retailers be thinking about?
A retailer should not assume that just because they sell a product in a bricks-and-mortar store they can sell it on the Internet. Putting a picture of an item on a Web page is very different from having the product sitting on a store shelf. That is especially true if the retailer is involved in advertising the fact that they have the product to sell. A picture on a Web site is likely to have the product's name on it, and that is probably a trademark. A retailer's distribution agreement with a manufacturer may not cover this.

My Galaxy Note won't connect to Samsung Kies
I just got a used Galaxy Note (I have no experience in buying used Android phones) and it has Android 4.0.4 in it and it is rooted, it has the SuperSU (or something) app in it.
I wanted to update it to 4.1.2 by connecting it to my computer but Kies won't connect to it. I can easily access the external storage in Windows Explorer but I can't see it in Kies.
Should I reset my device or should I use some ROMs I have heard about?
Please help.

IBM to Pay Globalfoundries $1.5 Billion to Take Chip Business
However, while IBM may be giving up the chip manufacturing business, it's not stepping away from semiconductors altogether. The company plans to continue its plans to spend $3 billion over the next five years on projects that will help shrink current processor architecture to as small as 7 nanometers and to investigate options for what will replace traditional silicon chip architecture when it reaches its physical limitations. Company officials announced the effort in July. Moorhead said IBM's decision to stick with the $3 billion plan made little sense for a company that is giving up with chip manufacturing business, and wondered whether Big Blue was looking to sell its chip research business. In a post on the company blog, Tom Rosamilia, senior vice president of IBM's Systems and Technology Group and Integrated Supply Chain, said the company will continue to invest in its Power servers—the company launched its Power8 systems in April—mainframes and storage systems even as the company looks to grow its cloud and big data efforts, and argued that semiconductor research is a key part of those strategies. "We are going to lead in creating highly differentiated servers and storage systems that can manage the latest big data, cloud, mobile and cognitive workloads," Rosamilia wrote.IBM's struggles can be seen in its financial numbers, with revenues in the third quarter falling 4 percent over the same period last year and net income declining 17 percent. "We saw a marked slowdown in September in client buying behavior, and our results also point to the unprecedented pace of change in our industry," Ginni Rometty, IBM chairman, president and CEO, said in a statement. "While we did not produce the results we expected to achieve, we again performed well in our strategic growth areas—cloud, data and analytics, security, social and mobile—where we continue to shift our business."
IBM is in a difficult position as it tries to pivot away from what made it such a major tech vendor in the past and adapt to a changing environment where the focus is on more open infrastructures. Moorhead said enterprise executives—after hearing about the open architectures top-tier Web companies like Facebook and Google are using and efforts like the Open Compute Project—are scrutinizing the type of packaged hardware, software and services deals that companies like IBM, Oracle and SAP are known for. Those companies are coming late to the cloud and are behind the likes of Hewlett-Packard and Dell in embracing the OpenStack cloud orchestration platform, and now they're trying hard to catch up, he said.

We have been renting up in the Waterville Estates for the past 7 years. This was our first stay at the Hegarty house and we found it to be just right for our group of (old) college buddies. There is plenty of room and everyone felt warm and comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well kept. The cable TV is of good quality (we watched the Super Bowl) and the WiFi worked flawlessly....not that we were indoors all that much.
Making the arrangements with Erin was easy and the price was perfect for our budget. We all agreed that we would like to come back next year. Thanks Erin.
Just returned from a great stay at this property. We stayed with another family (4 adults and 6 children). There was plenty of space, particularly with two sets of bunk bed in the lower level bedroom. The house was bright and open and conveniently located just minutes away from great skiing at Waterville Valley. The fitness center and pools at the onsite rec center were quite good as well. The owner was responsive and helpful. We hope to return!
we loved it perfect for the event we had the omly thing i wish i new is there aren't enough passes to the pool as people the house holds but other than that we loved it.
We were two adults with four children and stayed for three nights. Clean and plenty of space for all in living, eating and sleeping areas. We enjoyed the pools every night and have recommended this site to our friends and extended families. Hope to come back in the future.
Lots of bang for your money.
My family and I traveled all the way to NH from Hawaii for a New England vacation. We found this to be a great spot reflecting New England charm. We would definitely stay here again, it was clean, spacious and comfortable and close to everything. Highly recommend it!!

Brooke Vincent is among three ITV soap actresses reported to have used Twitter to promote "healing bracelets" and "anti-ageing" skin toner from a bogus brand called Puttana Aziendale, Italian for "corporate whore", which was actually a front for Channel 4 investigators. A spokesman for the soap said the allegations were false, and denied the actresses had done anything wrong.
Vincent, Krissi Bohn - who plays Sophie's partner Jenna in the soap - and Cherylee Houston (Izzy Armstrong) were among a host of celebrities apparently invited to a "gifting" event at a hotel in Manchester in February where they were provided with freebies and encouraged to promote products to their many Twitter followers.
The Puttana Aziendale "zionate bracelet", allegedly made by Buddhist monks, turned out to be costume jewellery, while the "Mistique spray", supposedly derived from a mountain well in Bali, was actually just tap water.
The actresses risked breaching Advertising Standards Authority guidelines which state that sponsored messages on social networking sites should be clearly marked as such.
However, a Coronation Street spokesperson said: "The programme has made allegations that are false and highly defamatory and we have written to the producer threatening legal action if they decide to broadcast."
A Channel 4 spokesman said: "We do not comment on upcoming Dispatches programmes." He declined to confirm when it was intended to be broadcast although reports suggest it will be aired later this month.
Much of the programme was filmed earlier this year but ITV only found out about the allegations quite recently. An unnamed source told The Sun: "Corrie stars get invited to these gifting events all the time. But at this one they were fed a load of rubbish about the mystical powers of completely fake products and it looks like they fell for it hook line and sinker."
"This is very embarrassing for all the stars involved."
ITV said later: "Cast members responded to tweets sent directly to them by some brands to say thank you. Contrary to the allegations which have been made, they didn't receive free gifts in return for tweeting or indulge in any kind of unlawful marketing promotion."
Soon after the "gifting event", which is a genuine occasion also featuring real products, BrookeLVincent tweeted: "Thank you @aziendale for my lovely healing anklet!! : ) xx"
Her co-star Houston, tweeted: "Well I've slept in my bracelet and I've sprayed my face several times. Thank you so much I love them!"
Bohn wrote: "Love my bracelet!! Thanks guys — My cold hands will become a thing of the past!!"
Fellow Coronation Street actresses Georgia May Foote (Katy Armstrong) and Catherine Tyldesley (Eva Price) were also pictured in front of branding for Puttana Aziendale, as was former Hollyoaks actress Sinead Moynihan, who tweeted: "Absolutely love my @Aziendale bracelet and Mustique Spray!!! Can't wait to check out your other bracelets! xxx.
Channel 4 Dispatches is a documentary series dating from 1987 which often uses undercover reporters.Reuse content

Gone fishing,
Says the sign
That hangs above his door;
But if he returns
With empty hands
They won't be eating anymore.
Gone fishing
Says teh man
To his children and his wife;
But if the streams
Are running dry
They'll have an even harder life.
Gone fishing
The mother says
When the baby starts to cry;
She weeps for hours
When no one's near
For how hard they have to try.
Gone fishing
Says their son
He wants to help his dad;
He hopes that he
Will catch a fish
So his mama won't be sad.
Gone fishing
The baby coos
As her papa walks away;
The mother cries
And prays to God
They won't be hungry another day.
Gone fishing
The family says
When they need another meal;
They wish that this
Was all a dream
But they know that it is real.
Gone fishing
Says the sign
That hangs above their door;
They caught a fish
But set it free...
They won't be fishing anymore.

One of the most frequent and stubborn skin complaint is that of acnes. Acnes not only blemish the smoothness of the skin, but also cause unnecessary irritation. Certain kinds of acnes are also known to be painful. It's a fairly common phenomenon among teenagers and in some cases, they prevail even in the subsequent years. Acnes have been the cause of anxiety of a large number of people. While the markets are deluged in products that claim to cure acnes, a lot of them don't deliver on their claims. Consequently, a large number of people have resorted to natural therapies for acnes. Among the other remedies, homeopathy is one of the most warranted avenue for acnes. Homeopathy has emerged as a popular antidote to acnes because not only are they largely effective but also they usually have no side-effects on the skin or the body whatsoever.
- Pulsatilla: Acne has a more rampant incidence in girls in comparison to boys. One of the reasons behind this is menstrual irregularities. In such cases, pulsatilla works wonders. They also reduce the acnes, which are triggered by the intake of oily food.
- Hepar Sulphur: Certain abscesses are more painful than the others. While the basic cause of their occurrence remains the same as the less painful ones, excessive perspiration is one of the salient factors in this case. Hepar Sulphur aids in abating the irritations caused by painful eruptions.
- Silicea: Certain skin types are more delicate than the others. In such cases, acne formation is always accompanied with suppuration. In order to tackle the pus formation, homeopathy recommends Silicea. Silicea is effective in cases where the patient is susceptible to cold temperature.
- Natrum Mur: Certain acnes occur due to surplus secretion of oils. Immediate health consequences are weakness and anemia. The face consistently feels greasy in such cases. Natrum Mur has been assumed to have remedial impacts on such acnes.
- Nux Vomica: Sometimes acnes occur due to gastric agitations. Spicy food and caffeine work as stimulants for such digestion disorders. Accordingly, Nux Vomica helps to cure acnes to a large extent.

Fungal skin diseases are brought about by various sorts of fungi and are the main reasons behind an irritated skin. Fungi attack and develop in dead keratin, a protein that makes up your skin, hair and nails. The various sorts of fungal diseases are caused by various groups of fungi. Some common fungal skin infections include ringworm, intertrigo, nail infections, Athlete's foot, etc.
The likelihood of fungal infections increase in the following cases:
- If you are overweight
- Not drying your skin completely after a shower or wash
- Walking barefoot in shower and wet locations
- In case of a pregnancy
- If you have a weak immune system
- If you suffer from diabetes
- If you come into contact with a person or animal with fungal infections.
- Due to a recent course of antibiotics
Fungal rashes can at times be mistaken for other skin conditions, for example, psoriasis and eczema. Fungal skin diseases can bring about a number of skin rashes; some of them being red, textured and itchy. The organism can influence only one region, or a few zones of your body. In the event that you get a fungal disease of your scalp, you might lose some hair. There are steps which can be performed in order to protect yourself from getting a parasitic skin contamination:
- Dry your skin properly after a shower
- Try not to share hairbrushes, towels or combs since they might be carrying fungi
- In case a family member has been infected with scalp ringworm, hats, pillows, combs or scissors should be soaked using water and bleach
- Allow your shoes sufficient time to dry out by alternating them every two or three days
- In order to keep moisture away from the skin, wear loose clothes that are made of cotton or other breathable materials.
- Socks, bed linen and clothes should be washed regularly to prevent the growth of any fungi
- In communal and wet areas like saunas, swimming pools, showers, etc., wear clean plastic shoes or flip-flops.
- If you have diabetes, try to keep your blood sugar under control
If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a dermatologist.
Hello doctor. I have psoriasis. Effected areas are legs, scalps, back n hands. .give me some advise. What I do.
A common skin condition, which causes the discoloration of your skin in patches across the face, melasma is more of a social embarrassment and cause for distress rather than being a serious condition. Although it affects men as well, studies have shown that over 90 percent of patients are women. It is also known as the mask of pregnancy as many pregnant women develop this skin condition.
Causes of Melasma
Primary causes of melasma have been attributed to various hormonal changes within the body. Let's look at some of the factors that may cause this disorder:
- Pregnancy: This is often attributed as the leading cause of melasma, the primary cause has often been attributed to hormonal changes that a woman may experience due to pregnancy.
- Treatments that may change hormonal balance: Women on contraceptive pills or who have implants such as intrauterine devices may also develop this disorder. This is due to the balance of estrogen and progesterone being changed within the body.
- Sun exposure: Continued sun exposure may also lead to melasma. This is due to the activation of melanocytes within the body which start producing more melanin.
- Stress: Long periods of stress on the body can also trigger hormonal changes and cause melasma.
- Thyroid problems: If someone suffers from Hypothyroidism or low levels of the thyroid hormone, it can trigger other hormonal changes and also cause this skin disorder.
It has also been noticed that people with generally a darker skin tone tend to get melasma and it is less common in people with fairer skin.
Certain characteristics of Melasma
Melasma develops in certain patterns which can be easily diagnosed either as spots on the skin similar to freckles or brown patches of skin that grow bigger. Some of these patterns are:
- Malar pattern: This grows on the nose and cheeks
- Mandibular pattern: Starts growing around the jaw line
- Brachial melasma: This grows on the upper arms and shoulders
- Lateral cheek pattern: Grows on the cheek on both sides of the face
- Centrofacial pattern: Nose, upper lips, forehead and cheeks
Treatment of Melasma
Most women who develop melasma during pregnancy report that it goes away after childbirth. However certain forms of melasma may appear in non-pregnant women due to hormonal changes. Treating the underlying hormonal changes usually, resolves the problem. However certain other methods may be required to resolve the issues such as skin creams, chemical peels, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion.
Hi! My age is 27 My hair is falling and no bald from left and in front I comb. And its becoming curly, rough,dry. I use Dove herbal shampoo daily on hair only. Before I was using conditioner that time my hair was falling and stick on my hand. Now I not use any conditioner. So can you sugest me to grow strong healthy, smoothy,silky?
Mustard Oil for Hairs:-
If you know how to use Mustard Oil properly, this natural product can be a miracle for your hair. The oil is derived from the mustard seeds that are rich sources of vitamins (A, D, E, and K), calcium, magnesium, minerals (zinc, selenium, and beta-carotene), and iron . Due to abundant presence of vitamin A, it stimulates hair growth. Mustard Oil does not allow fungal growth making it useful for avoiding scalp infections. The oil is considered to be highly beneficial in treating dry and damaged hair. This natural product is the perfect option to strengthen our hairs and reduce hair fall.
The following are ways you can apply mustard oil.
1. Normal way:-
Apply the oil a bit warm because it stimulates blood circulation. Massage it on scalp for 15 minutes. Leave it for 2 hours. Best is to leave it for overnight. The oil will go away in 2 shampoos.
2. Using with water:-
Make a mixture of mustard oil and water in equal proportion. Beat it like you are beating an egg while making cake. Or you can put the mixture in a bottle and shake it for some time. Apply it on your hairs and leave it for some hours. This is how I always apply to my hairs as it is less greasy and works better.
According to my knowledge, I can say that Mustard Oil works as a miracle for skin and hairs. So, do try it.
Always remember,
"Beauty is not flawless, It shines even through your flaws."
No one is perfect, and no one is beautiful. It is only about how we thinking we are, if we think we are perfect and beautiful than we are perfect and beautiful.
take care :)
When tissues that usually grow inside the uterus, start growing outside the organ, it is called endometriosis. Painful periods, pain during sex, pain while urinating or bowel movements, extreme bleeding, fatigue, infertility, diarrhea, bloating and nausea are some of the symptoms of endometriosis.
Treating endometriosis usually depends on the following factors
- Age
- Severity of symptoms
- Severity of the disease
- Future plans for children
Depending on these the doctor might opt for any of the following treatments
- Medication for Pain: If the symptoms are mild, then the doctor will prescribe some pain killers like Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Hormone Therapy: Hormone therapy is effective, but once you stop them, your symptoms may come back. Some of the hormone therapies include:
- Hormonal Contraceptives: Birth control pills, vaginal rings and patches are useful in controlling the hormones that are responsible for tissue build-up outside the uterine cavity.
- Medroxyprogesterone: This drug stops menstruation, which in turn stops the tissue build-up and put an end to all the symptoms. But on the other hand, gaining weight, low bone production and depression are some of the common effects of this drug.
- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) antagonists and agonists: Hormones that stimulate ovaries are blocked by these. They bring down oestrogen levels and hence prevent menstruation.
- Danazol: This drug prevents menstruation and symptoms of endometriosis by blocking the hormones that stimulate the ovaries. However, Danazol may not be a favourable option because of its side effects. The drug should be avoided during pregnancy.
- Conservative Surgery: If you are trying to get pregnant, but you already suffer from endometriosis, then removing endometriosis surgically is a viable solution. Your uterus and ovaries will be preserved, which might increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Even suffering from severe pain might find relief from conservative surgery.
- Hysterectomy: In extreme cases, the only way to deal with the symptoms is to completely remove the uterus, ovaries and cervix. Since a hysterectomy means you cannot have children, it is kept as the last option for women in their reproductive age. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a gynaecologist.

Loss of hair from the scalp, one of the most common problems plaguing the world today, can be caused by a variety of factors such as genetics, disorders and environmental factors. There are a number of homeopathic treatments that are used to treat hair loss. These treatments focus on the cause of the disease rather than just treating the symptoms.
Hair loss can be classified as:
- Telogen effluvium: This is a disorder of the hair growth cycle where the telogen phase (where the hair falls out) becomes dominant.
- Alopecia aorta: This is an autoimmune disorder where the immune cells of the body destroy the hair. Hair loss tends to occur in patches.
- Androgenic alopecia: This type of disorder is caused by hormonal and genetic factors resulting in a receding hairline.
The various homeopathic treatments for hair loss are:
- Silica: Silica is used to treat a number of diseases in homeopathy. Besides being an effective remedy for hair loss, it also treats symptoms of vitiligo, nail problems and eczema.
- Phosphorus: Phosphorus is another homeopathic treatment that is used to treat hair loss. It promotes hair growth in spots where hair loss has occurred.
- Kaliumcarbonicum: This treatment is used for brittle and thinning of hair, as it enhances hair growth. It is usually recommended for people with various forms of alopecia.
- Lycopodium: This treatment is prescribed for people who suffer from premature balding. It is also recommended for pregnant women if they suffer from hair loss.
- Natrummuriaticum: This homeopathic remedy is made from sodium chloride and is used to treat hair problems resulting from skin complications. It is also recommended for women who face hair loss from menstrual problems. It treats dandruff and hair disorders due to hormonal imbalances.
- Sulfur: Sulfur is an excellent homeopathic remedy to treat hair loss as it promotes hair growth. It also eliminates dandruff from the scalp.
The skin has a protein called keratin that protects it from infections and other harmful toxins. For various reasons, mostly unknown, but likely genetic, there could be a build up of this keratin leading to small, light-colored, hard bumps under the skin that can feel like sandpaper. This condition is medically known as keratosis pilaris. These pillars of keratin block the hair follicles that open onto the surface of the skin, and when a number of follicles are blocked, it leads to dry, bumpy feeling. In common words, it is also referred to as chicken skin, chicken bumps, or goose bumps.
- Occurrence: The onset is usually in the first decade of life, continues to grow in number in teenagers (80%), and slowly subsides as they grow older (40% of adults). People with dry skin are more likely to have these bumps than people with oily skin. The most commonly affected areas include upper arms, thighs, buttocks and very rarely on the face.
- Cause: This is a genetic disorder, and the bumps are due to excessive formation and buildup of keratin due to faulty genes. There could be surplus skin formation under these follicles or hair follicles trapped under these bumps. There could be a small area of inflammation and redness around the bumps.
- Weather correlation: Keratosis pilaris is more common and evident during the winter months when the skin is normally drier than in summer months. Some people could have this condition lifelong, with only manifestation seen in winters and complete absence of bumps in the summer months.
- Symptoms: The condition is usually asymptomatic, except for the dryness, and does not cause itching or medical harm. The esthetic concern, especially if in upper arms, is the only concern. Some people could be affected by the hard, bumpy feeling of the skin. There are no long-term medical symptoms or harmful effects of this condition though.
- Treatment: No treatment is required; however, moisturizers may be required to prevent the bumps from drying up. In very severe cases, creams may be used to remove dead skin cells and to prevent plugged follicles. Alpha hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, or lactic acid containing creams can be used to remove the dead skin cells. These also help moisturize the skin and reduce dryness. Vitamin A containing creams can be used to unplug the hair follicles. Avoid shaving and waxing.
- A word of caution though: These creams can cause itching and redness. Since this condition is prevalent in children, these creams need to be used only if absolutely essential and with medical prescriptions. The condition is harmless and self-limiting, so no treatment is mandatory. Patient education is of utmost importance in these cases.

Blogcritics types who like books have an edge over the general population in preventing, surviving heart attacks or even surviving longer with Congestive Heart Failure. I know because I had the heart attack more than 10 years ago and CHF which is fatal. I am still here pounding at the keyboard.
As soon as they let me out of the hospital that first time and allowed me to drive; I did what I always do in response to new situations. I went to the library — in this case the Woodstock, NY library that I do miss now that I am retired here in Mexico. The library (it is quite small) offered a shelf or two of books on heart disease, prevention, first-person narratives and, of course, diets. I piled them up in my weakened arms and went back to my bed to try to get over the problems without scary stuff like surgery. I read them all. Good and bad and indifferent and right and wrong. At least I was doing something since otherwise I was taking short walks with a cell phone to call 911 and learning to cook without anything but olive oil, no meat, no sweets, and to live without cigarettes. Sure cigarettes were bad but grandparents who died of heart disease were equally bad.
There was first the comic book stuff and handouts from the hospital and the American Heart Association. Simple, easy to follow and only to change the lives of the worst meat-eating, smoking, drinking, sedentary, walking cardiac challengers. There is a book of AHA diets here and I cannot say anything bad of them. The ideas are great: reduce fats, stop frying, look for alternatives, cut down on salt and sweets, lose weight, exercise. How can you go wrong?
The AHA guidelines and diets and recipes are good and mean well and will help but they do not solve serious cardiac problems. Information helps.
When I left the hospital after a week in intensive care and another pacing the halls still wanting a cigarette and the return of my health; I was not warned about possible complications other than to call an ambulance if there was chest pain for more than 15 minutes and 3 hits of nitroglycerine.
Luckily, I had read the first person narrative of a physician who had suffered a heart attack and later edema and congestive heart failure. He wrote of his, a physician's own denial in that he began to suffer classic symptoms (chest, arm, jaw pain, cold sweat, weakness) while in the hospital and managed to ignore it and continue on his rounds until he collapsed and colleagues rushed to help. I was alone in my darkroom in the wee hours after days of denial of a nagging chest pain that mimicked an earlier car accident where I smashed my chest against the steering wheel. I, too, was a fool; but in good company.
Later in his book he describes going hunting with his son and, alone in the woods; suffers "flash edema" where the lungs fill suddenly with fluids as the heart can no longer pump effectively. He knew to stay upright until help arrived. It was that story that saved my life when I began to feel badly and my wife said "if you don't feel well call an ambulance". For once I did saying that I had had an M.I. was having trouble breathing. In the area between two small towns in upstate New York we had a GREAT ambulance service (Diaz) but even at high speed at 2AM in summer it took them nearly 20 minutes. I was working on the theory, that if I breathed long enough, there would be something to resuscitate when they got there. Happily they arrived first at a run and began jabbing needles and oxygen and other fun stuff in my body. They worked an hour before moving me to the ambulance and only freaked when my Rastafarian musician neighbor who is 6'+ appeared out of the night to see what was going on. Then another hospital after the local one– a regional hospital where a clod cardiologist started an angioplasty and broke the artery. Then, on the run, to the by-pass O.R. where I said "Nice to meet you, doctor" to some guys in green masks, one of whom held a tiny Skill saw.
Everything was saved by seconds. Not having read the books; I would have retreated to more denial and lost those seconds. Up with books and save the libraries!
Then I settled down to learn how to live with a mortal disease in which they gave me 3 to 5 years maximum. The statistics, then, offered 10% surviving 10 years.
One major savior was Dr. Dean Ornish whose book on "Reversing Heart Disease" may not reverse it; but does work to help control it in the very sick and probably helps decrease its' effects in the less ill and could actually control cardiac problems in those who are only developing the condition. He outlines a plan that is more strict than others but also more inclusive. He calls for exercise regularly under supervision or with a "target heart rate" to be reached as you increase your activity level. Then a diet basically without meat or anything fried, even limiting tofu due to its' fat level. The diet relies on vegetable protein, vegetables, carbohydrates (no matter what the latest diet craze), and meals boiled, steamed, even stewed. Fish is allowed on occasion and I have had to drop my beloved shrimp because I feel the effects of their low-fat, extremely high cholesterol.
After exercise and diet he gets into the really hard parts of his program: meditation, yoga, positive attitudes and optimism. "Opening up your heart", he says. It is a great idea and I know I would have died by now had I continued that tempting level of depression of the modern world. By coincidence it was yesterday that I saw a study showing that depression in persons with congestive heart failure leads to a higher death rate. This, however, for us worriers; is the absolutely hardest part of the program. He, like other such writers, also reminds you that if you go backwards (like falling off the wagon); just get back on. However, there was a study just recently released that showed persons fed a low-fat breakfast one day and a McDonald's breakfast the next day showed an 81% increase in triglycerides (not good) following only one high fat meal!. McDonalds says the test was not about their food, just fat content.
I mentioned that I have stayed around for over 10 years now with serious, then severe, and recently "final stage" congestive heart failure. Heart function recently improved with the implantation of a Guidant bi-ventricular pacing device and defibrillator. And basically following Dr. Ornish. Survival happens with hard work. Better yet by far is to read Dean Ornish and the Heart Association materials long before any of this happens and then it may not. In which case you get to continue being a photographer (or whatever) and eating some Black Forest cake now and then and a filet mignon (but no hot dogs). It is definitely the better plan: prevention. Enjoy your swim or run or walk or row tomorrow before heading to the doctor for a physical and the greengrocer to load up on good stuff.
And equally important: do that thing that you love or care about. Don't keep going to the boring job that suffocates your spirit. It just isn't worth it. And read a book in between.Powered by Sidelines

Our Story
West Lisbon Church Yesterday: Our History
The "preparation of the soil" for West Lisbon Church began in the gospel work of Elling Eielson in the 1840's. By 1850, the then-called Lisbon Congregation began meeting in a house designated for regular worship services. If one steps back to take a wider view of God's work in Illinois during the 1850's, you can see some remarkable things happening. "In the early autumn of 1856, [Dwight L.] Moody suddenly left Boston for Chicago" (Kevin Belmont, 45). A young man named Cyrus McCormick entered Chicago in 1847 where he and his brother setup factories in order to manufacture their mechanical reapers (eventually this became International Harvester). In 1869, Cyrus McCormick, a faithful Christian, donated a large sum of money to assist D. L. Moody in the establishment of the Y.M.C.A., and later McCormick's son would become the first president of Moody Bible Institute.
Much more could be said about how God moved people about in the 1850's in the Chicago area, but our story takes us into rural Illinois about an hour southwest of Chicago to the little village of Lisbon. By the 1850's God was stirring a couple of hearts to make the long journey from Norway to Illinois. Many Norwegian emigrants left their homeland and then settled in rural Illinois. A young man by the name of Peter Andreas Rasmussen became burdened for these families as he discovered a growing need for someone to teach them and lead them in Christianity. Consider this excerpt from A History of the Norwegians of Illinois by Algot E. Strand:
The congregation, being without a settled pastor, tendered a call to Rasmussen to become their pastor. After having taken a course in theology of one year at Ft. Wayne, Ind., he was ordained by the Missouri Synod on Palm Sunday, 1854. Rev. Rasmussen served this church for about forty four years, when the present pastor took charge in 1898. Under the pastorate of Rev. Rasmussen the church grew to be one of the strongest and most prosperous churches among the Norwegians in this country, numbering about 1,200 souls. It consists mostly of a farming community, situated in the southern part of Kendall county, and the northern part of Grundy county.
Pastor Rasmussen's role in God's story for West Lisbon Church is critical to understanding our history, our present, and our future. He was Norwegian Lutheran for sure, but he wasn't just that. Before leaving Norway, Rasmussen was part of the Haugean movement. Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771–1824) was a powerful lay preacher in Norway. Clifford Nelson writes in The Lutherans in North America,
Between 1796 and 1804 Hauge preached his message of repentance through Norway, reviving the backsliders and strengthening and encouraging the faithful. From 1804 to 1811 he was imprisoned not only for his criticisms of church and clergy, but for his violation of the anticonventicle act of 1741.
The Anticonventicle Act of 1741 forbid lay preachers from preaching and teaching, which the state viewed as only appropriate for approved clergymen. The Lutheran Calendar celebrates Hauge and in its description of his spiritual life clearly indicates that he experienced the new birth. From Hauge and onto Rasmussen and others whom he influenced, there is a clear evangelical thread that has always been a part of West Lisbon Church's heritage: repentance, spiritual renewal and awakening, the new birth, and lay ministry. Having been ordained as the first pastor of the Lisbon Congregation in 1854, Pastor Rasmussen went on to serve for 44 years. He planted many churches, founded a seminary, and was a pioneer in the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran movement in America.
West Lisbon Church Today: Our Current Mission & Ministry Staff
West Lisbon Church is an interdenominational local church located in rural Newark, Illinois. We are committed to helping people who love and worship God to move into deeper learning experiences resulting in service for God in our community and world.
Senior Pastor: Rex J. Howe
WLC officially installed Rex as the 14th pastor of West Lisbon Church on Sunday, February 22, 2015. While many friends and family members planted and watered seeds of the gospel into Rex's life, he did not trust Christ as his personal Savior until the spring semester of his freshman year of college in 2001. Since then, he has been burdened to give his life for the Lord, just as the Lord Jesus laid down his life for us (Mk. 10:45). He has previous ministry experience as a youth pastor at Fairview Baptist Church in Minford, OH from 2003–2007 and as a youth and outreach pastor on the pastoral team at Scofield Memorial Church in Dallas, TX from 2007–2014. He completed his B. A. in Bible/Theology from Tri-State Bible College in South Point, OH in 2006 and his Master of Theology (NT emphasis) from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2011. He and his wife, Aimee, married in 2005, and they have three children. Pastor Rex is eager to make disciples for the glory of God as we extend the embrace of the gospel at West Lisbon and into our community. His favorite Bible verse is Romans 12:12 because he feels it sums up the spiritual life as he seeks to walk with the Lord day by day.

West Lisbon Church Tomorrow: Vision Development
We find ourselves at a time in our church life where we are "pondering anew what the Almighty can do." The aim of vision casting in local church ministry is to seek God afresh for spiritual vitality in every generation. The life cycle of a church mirrors in the life cycle of a human. Every local church must experience a renewal that leads to another life cycle for each generation, or else it runs the risk of dying. The ministry vision cycle helps us think through how exactly to seek the Lord in this.
•Phase 1: Biblical & Historical Principles
•Phase 2: Community & Congregation Scan
•Phase 3: Vision & Mission Statement
•Phase 4: Goals & Objectives
•Phase 5: Evaluation
•Phase 6: Renewal
Phases 1 and 2 ask and answer the question, "Who are we?" Phases 3–4 ask and answer, "How has God burdened us to labor for him?" Phases 5-6 ask and answer, "How are we doing/did we do?" We are currently in Phase 4 of the vision process at West Lisbon. Join us as God begins to align and focus our ministry efforts with our vision to Loyally Love, Learn, and Labor for God Together!

Christy, what's your technique for holding labels?
I tried a couple of different ways and most were total flops. Either
the label was too small to read or was too awkward for my short
attention span and interest in taking more photos. No way I can keep

lot of my seedlings apart in photos.
I've thought about nailing a small notepad to a spadefork handle, then
using a sharpie to write the cultivar name in <big> letters. Then
stabbing the spadefork in the ground to have a standup label wherever I
want it. As if all my TBs were consistently at the right height to do

Favorite Nikes Yet!
"I love these shoes! They are much more lightweight than any running shoe I've ever owned but still have great support! I like how the little panel on the sides where the laces run through tightens against my foot when the laces are pulled tight. It makes them feel fitted specifically to my foot! Love the bright colors. My only whine is that the laces are a little flimsy and one looks like it already has a small pull in the weave but they are easily replaced."

Greenbacks color inaugural Orange
SACRAMENTO - Twenty years ago, Richard Hill Adams of Orange County met one his favorite actors at a restaurant in Aspen, Colo.
That one brief meeting led him to Sacramento today for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's inauguration.
"He was a real gentleman," Adams said. "He was not like, 'I'm a big star; don't bother me.' ... When he entered politics," Adams knew he'd support Schwarzenegger.
Adams' company, American Realty Capital Advisors of Laguna Hills, was one of Orange County's top contributors to the governor's re-election campaign. In an affair as exclusive as the inauguration, that was enough to get him an invitation.
"It'll be a good time. I'm looking forward to seeing him on his crutches," Adams said, referring to the leg Schwarzenegger broke in a skiing accident.
Orange County will play a role in today's festivities by virtue of people like Adams and John Herklotz of Laguna Hills, a retired media executive who contributed at least $15,000 to the inaugural festivities.
Orange County donors have given at least $140,000 to the inauguration, or at least 10 percent of the $1.3 million reportedly raised.
Also expected to attend is Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle, a Republican who was an honorary co-chairman of the inauguration, and Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido, a Democrat.
In fact, all four Democrats who held honorary positions on California Treasurer Phil Angelides' campaign to unseat the Republican governor - U.S. Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez - are co-chairpersons of the inauguration.
"There will be a lot of strange bedfellows at the party," said Steve Maviglio, Nuñez's deputy chief of staff.
Maviglio was press secretary to Gov. Gray Davis before Schwarzenegger and the recall swept him out of office in 2003. Davis is also a co-chairman of the inauguration.
Schwarzenegger's unusual approach ruffled a few GOP feathers, especially when he announced that Willie Brown , former San Francisco mayor and Assembly speaker, would be master of ceremonies at today's swearing-in. Some griped about the governor asking such a longtime adversary to preside over their crowning moment.
Senate Minority Leader Dick Ackerman of Irvine said he thought it was a fine idea.
"Willie Brown is entertaining," said Ackerman, another inaugural co-chairman. "If he's going to be involved with a party, it's going to be a good party."
Today's festivities are invitation-only and are being paid for entirely by private money. Schwarzenegger raised money mainly from special-interest groups with matters before the state to pay for this morning's swearing-in, a bipartisan reception and lunch with lawmakers and other elected officials at the Capitol, and a black-tie gala tonight at the Sacramento Convention Center.
Admission to the swearing-in is free for invited guests. Tickets to the gala cost $500.
The inaugural committee did not release a complete list of those expected to attend, but spokeswoman Julie Soderlund said invitations went to elected officials and Schwarzenegger supporters across the state. She thought about 15 people or more would come from Orange County.
Governor's gatherings
It's party time in the capital today as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is inaugurated for a second term. In contrast to the low-key affair he held after the 2003 recall, the Terminator this time is hosting a star-studded celebration at a cost of more than $1.3 million.
Swearing-in ceremony:11 a.m., Memorial Auditorium, downtown Sacramento. The more than 3,000-seat hall will be at capacity with invitation-only guests - supporters, campaign contributors, elected officials and other notables. José Feliciano will perform the national anthem; Tony Award winner Jennifer Holliday will sing "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going."
Bipartisan reception: Immediately after swearing-in, Capitol Rotunda. A reception for the state Legislature and constitutional officers (lieutenant governor, insurance commissioner, etc.), regardless of party.
Lunch: After reception, west steps, Capitol. Lunch, under a tent, will be served to members of the Legislature, constitutional officers and donors who helped pay for the festivities.
Black-tie gala:8 p.m., Sacramento Convention Center. Tickets: $500. The venue will be at capacity with more than 2,000 people expected to attend. Again, the event is invitation-only. Songwriter Paul Anka will perform a special rendition of "My Way" with original lyrics written as a tribute to Schwarzenegger. Grammy Award-winner Donna Summer will sing a full set of her greatest hits, including "Hot Stuff" and "She Works Hard for the Money."

Chicago to Require Sx Ed for Kindergartners

Chicago Will Require Kindergarteners to Take Sx Ed
by Christopher Goins
A new policy that was created in part with the consultation of Planned Parenthood of Illinois will require Chicago Public School students from kindergarteners and up to receive sxual health education instruction beginning in 2015.
According to the Chicago Public Schools website, the new policy passed last week requires minimum instructional minutes for students, and instructional material is tailored around age-appropriateness and medically accurate information.
It is important that we provide students of all ages with accurate and appropriate information so they can make healthy choices in regards to their social interactions, behaviors, and relationships, said Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett in a statement.
By implementing a new sxual health education policy, we will be helping them to build a foundation of knowledge that can guide them not just in the pre-adolescent and adolescent years, but throughout their lives, she continued.
According to the Chicago Public Schools website, the new policy was developed by the Chicago Public School Office of Student Health and Wellness (OSHW). The Chicago Public Schools website said that since June 2012, OSHW has been in consultation with various stakeholder groups for feedback and recommendations in developing the policy.
Among the participants were Mikva Challenge, Chicago Department of Public Health, Planned Parenthood of Illinois, University of Illinois Chicago, Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health and CPS high school students, the website said.
CPS said that the policy, which replaces the districts 2008 Family Life and Comprehensive Sxual Health Education Policy,will set more modern standards for instruction for their students at all grade levels. Younger students will receive family life instruction that was also in the 2008 policy.
For K-4 students, instruction will center on anatomy and physiology, reproduction, healthy relationships and personal safety, the website said.
For example, younger students in this group will focus on the family, feelings and appropriate and inappropriate touching while students in fourth grade will learn about puberty, including the physical, social and emotional changes that accompany it, and the causes and transmission of HIV infection, it added.
For older children in grades 5-12, instruction will include information appropriate for each grade level on human reproduction, transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS and other sxually-transmitted infections (STIs), healthy decision-making, sxual orientation and bullying, and contraception, including abstinence, the website read.
At least two teachers from each school will be designated as sxual health education teachers.
CPS said that the policy conforms to the Mayors Healthy Chicago public health agenda and aligns with and supports priorities in President Obamas HIV/AIDs strategy.

Sx education -- including what is appropriate and what is not -- is the realm of the parents, especially when dealing with 5-year old children.
These programs are merely a tool for public educators' indoctrination of our nation's youngest children with the idea that same-sex "parents" ["family"] and same-sex relationships are normal.
Further, based on the public record, educators have no idea what is -- and what is not -- "inappropriate touching"...particularly, as applied to their own interactions with students. Just peruse the "hey now" files.
All too many parents are willing to cede their parental responsibilities to the state. The results of their negligence fill our daily headlines.
#4 Mar 6, 2013
Can I get a "hey now" on this story?
Whata know....Ole Obama's hometown fisting state approves a "hands on" approach at teaching sex ed before the kids learn to color. You kids need to know about clams and scuttle-holes before them pesky A.B.C's.
Step back in the coat room for extra-credit,(Obama's goonion crew incites), while I explain the birds & the bees, which may peck and sting a lil at first..., But don't bother to bring this up at the P.T.A. meeting, children...This is a hush-hush assignment.

Time to man up and put the big boy pants on, folks. We can do this.
I know it's hard to even think about stuff related to s-e-x without getting all giggly and sweaty, but c'mon, it's time to grow up and act like adults, at least in front of the children.
Kids need to know (and will readily ask) about stuff like how and why boys and girls are different. And they need to know from trustworthy adults how to distinguish between good and bad touching (so they are not vulnerable to the adults who are gonna run a game on them about how special they are and how this is just gonna be our little secret and nobody will believe you anyway if you tell). But the time they are old enough to understand what the ribbons are for, they should know enough about how HIV is spread (and how it is NOT) to stay safe and set their minds at ease.
And somewhere along the line it's gonna be a good idea to have a notion about where babies come from.
These aren't big scary things. And they shouldn't be confined to some awkward bedroom talk that happens once at age 13 or so.
And yes, tip, they are going to notice that some people have a different kind of family--not just gay and straight, but widows and widowers, divorcees, step-families, adoptive families--the whole nine yards. They're not going away just because we pretend they're not there.

BTW--I gotta point out that your notion of parental responsibilty includes hiding from your kids (assuming you have some) the reality that everyone doesn't look just like them, think just like them, and neither does everybody's family.
Now, I call that irresponsible. Lying to kids is not responsibile behavior.
I would imagine that you also condone bullying kids who are different at school and elsewhere, too, don't you?

My notion of parental responsibility includes teaching my children moral behaviors within relationships ordained by natural law.
Homosexual behaviors are specifically excluded from that category.
Of course, I do not condone bullying of kids who are "different."
That fact, however, does not preclude my instructing my own children that certain behaviors are not natural or moral.

This outraged thread is because public schools are teaching young children about the family, feelings and appropriate and inappropriate touching"?
Helping give younger children the information and agency to avoid inappropriate touching or the outlet to report inappropriate contact.
With a vast amount of inappropriate activity happening within family and extended family contexts, giving children the information they need and a safe place to discuss their concerns independent of these contexts seems like a pretty great idea.
As an aside, how much do I love all the people on here talking about natural law? I generally hear it talked about in pretty abstract, rather boring terms if it does come up. To have folks conflate 'natural law' with 'what I think should be recognized as right' is charmingly down to earth and incredibly interesting.

If a school has an average class size of 30 children before a tax levy fails and then has to increase class size to 45 children, by what percentage did class size grow?
You really are the most fun of them all.
#18 Mar 7, 2013
why did the tax levy fail?
the people have spoken; and want 45 kids in a class.
in the class size of 30, could any of the children pass the proficiency test?
growing the class size 50% is potentially bringing talent to the classroom; and cutting dead weight.
Did you realize in college it is possible for 500 in a class? Some schools even more.
and you are paying to be there; and it is not mandatory.
45 in a classroom is 5 short of what should be considered normal.
