CHICAGO — The three therapists in training each stand less than 30 inches tall. They wear Build-A-Bear toy sneakers and require daily stroking, grooming and belly rubs.
Turnabout, Mystery and Lunar are miniature horses who draw gasps of delight everywhere they go, but they are being prepared for serious work at a barn in Richmond, Ill.
The aim is to have them visit schools, hospitals and nursing homes once approved by a national organization called Pet Partners, which will evaluate them for so-called animal-assisted activities and therapy. The horses' owner, Jodie Diegel of Palatine, Ill., recently received nonprofit status for this new venture, Mane in Heaven.
She is now seeking volunteers to help.
"There is so much emotion that is present with these animals," said Diegel, a registered nurse who has used her golden retriever and yellow Labrador to provide therapy for years. "When you first see them, you are like, 'Oh my gosh.'"
Small children stand at eye level with the horses, who are gentle and calm. The animals also sport incredibly long eyelashes.
Volunteers ages 14 and older are needed to help desensitize the "minis" through play and grooming at the Richmond barn, Diegel said. By spring, she hopes to have additional handlers willing to take the horses to visit children and adults with emotional, mental or physical disabilities.
Carol Ouhl, of Cottage Grove, Minn., who has evaluated animals for Pet Partners for 20 years, explained that both handler and animal are assessed separately, then given a single score.
An animal might score high on criteria like temperament and obedience, for instance, but its handler may need improvement, she said.
"We put a lot of emphasis on being proactive, knowing what your animal likes or dislikes and doing what it takes to circumvent any problem," Ouhl said.
Pet Partners defines "animal-assisted activity" as a casual meeting in which animals and volunteers visit with people for recreational purposes. "Animal-assisted therapy," by contrast, is led by a licensed health care professional who helps a client work toward meeting specific medical goals.
"In a visiting situation, the animals are a catalyst or bridge to a conversation. It gives people something to focus on other than their problems," Ouhl said.
The biggest challenge for the miniature horses is to learn to walk and stand still on command while ignoring any outside noise, ear tugs or other distractions, Diegel said.
She said the minis have made great progress since she purchased them in February from a Wisconsin breeder.
Turnabout, age 1, a dark brown male, is the most spirited of the three, kicking up his heels during playtime in an indoor ring.
Lunar, 4, is a mellow chestnut-colored female with thick blond eyelashes and a matching mane. Like Turnabout, she weighs at least 200 pounds.
Mystery, 1, is the smallest of the three, at about 100 pounds. She is gray with a tail so long it nearly touches the ground.
Diegel and other volunteers spend time with the horses daily, petting them, talking softly to them, rubbing their bellies, tugging their ears, and removing and replacing their doll-size sneakers. The Build-A-Bear shoes not only look adorable, but also are necessary when the horses enter a building such as a hospital, Diegel said.
"They stop them from slipping on the floor," she said. "It is like an ice rink to them."
The horses made their debut last fall, when they participated in a public event sponsored by Main Stay Therapeutic Riding, also in Richmond. Main Stay offers equine therapy with regular horses — and invites clients to visit a herd of small animals, including a miniature donkey, sheep, rabbits and miniature horses, said Loriann Dowell, executive director.
Grooming the animals helps youngsters with physical disabilities improve their range of motion, she said. People with social and emotional problems also connect with the animals, she added.
"Our herd of small animals are unique in that they are all rescued animals and they all have stories," Dowell said. "That is really helpful for these kids because they can relate to them."
The diverse herd lives in harmony, presenting a model for children on getting along with others who are different, she said. The barnyard environment contributes to the therapeutic effect, she said.
"I myself go out there with this small herd," Dowell said. "These sheep and goats, they come up to you and they look right into your soul. It's pretty amazing."
Mane in Heaven will provide a different service, by taking one or more of the miniature horses into a facility. Besides volunteers, the horses still need a trailer for transportation, Diegel said.
"The horses really provide the therapy," she said. "I am honored to be on the other end of the rope."

In an unassuming house, on a quiet residential street in south London, a husband and wife are discovered imprisoned in their own home. Badly dehydrated, they've been bound and beaten. Worse still, their young son is missing. When DI Jack Caffery of the Met's AMIT squad is called in to investigate, the similarities to events in his own past make it impossible for him to view this new crime with the necessary detachment. As Jack attempts to hold his own life together in the face of ever more disturbing revelations, the real nightmare begins….
Horrifying, unforgettable, and intense, The Treatment is a novel that touches the raw nerve of our darkest imaginings.
©2011 Mo Hayder (P)2003 Isis Publishing Ltd
"Hayder's gory insights into the dark side are compelling." (Guardian)
"Great writing, but beware visceral violence"
Mo Hayder is a considered detailed and really quite amazing genre writer. But in my view her stories are extremely violent, dark, disturbing and viscerally distressing. Not unlike JK Rowling's descriptions in The Silk Worm where the violence is alarming troubling and upsetting.
"very good sequel to "birdman""
i bought this book after finishing bridman and i was not disappointed.
again, well-paced and excellent narration, and the primary topic is difficult to comprehend (i'm saying no more to avoid spoiling).
i would certainly recommend (for reference, i like robert crais (my favourite), steven dunne, christopher fowler, 'the killing' was immense, and nesbo's 'headbunters'.)
as i noted on my review of "birdman" i've now gone for "tokyo" as the reviews for the other jack caffery novels don't praise the (different) narrator.
"Far too long"
I enjoyed this book to a certain extent, but the explicit references to paedaphilia & sometimes quite graphic, was, I felt, not needed so much.. We got the idea what it was about at the beginning of the book. The book, in my mind was far too long & drawn out with the the narrator droning on & on, & I really felt I wanted him to hurry up a bit. Such a shame as I thought this would be a good buy....
"A must read!"
Dark, scary and so well written. It is a terrific book you need a hard skin to read it tho'.
"A grim tale but kept me listening"
Insightful, haunting, addictive
I have only just started reading this author and so would have to say 'Poppets' by the same author.
"Brilliant! The Mo Hayder books are so gripping."
Yes, because the story is so complex that there will be more to take in.
The characters are flawed and the story line is full of twists.
DI Caffrey
This is so different.

Patients & Visitors
Health & Wellness
Choose Immediate Care for colds/flu, sprains/strains and other minor injury/illness.
Go to the ER for major concerns and trauma. Call 911 for chest pain and stroke symptoms.
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, heart disease kills 1 out of 4 women in the United States.
Heart attacks and their aftermath tend to be more deadly in women. More women than men die within a year of having a heart attack. This may happen because women are generally older than men when they suffer heart attacks. Also, women don't respond as well as men to the treatments usually prescribed during or after a heart attack.
For many women, a heart attack may feel like a strange discomfort in the back or some other sign that is easy to ignore instead of crushing chest pain.
When women do go to the hospital, healthcare providers may miss the diagnosis of heart attack because the symptoms are not clear. Without a definite diagnosis, a woman may be sent home thinking that her symptoms don't mean anything serious.
Studies confirm that heart disease may differ in women in ways that healthcare providers may not realize. Heart disease in many women doesn't occur from obvious blockages in arteries as it does in men.
Instead, for women, plaque often spreads evenly along the artery wall or in the smaller arteries. These areas are hidden from an angiogram, the standard imaging test that measures blood flow in the big arteries.
In women with this problem, which is called coronary microvascular syndrome, blood flow to the heart falls dangerously low. But women don't often feel the "elephant-on-the-chest" pain that takes place when large arteries shut down. Instead, they may have subtle symptoms. They may feel pressure or squeezing or shortness of breath. Symptoms may even pop up elsewhere in the body, such as the jaw. (This symptom of jaw pain can also appear in men having a heart attack.)
Many women with this disease may continue to have symptoms and become sicker. They may be at an increased risk for heart attack within 5 years.
Some experts suggest that changes in hormones connected to aging or inflammation may explain why women's smaller blood vessels don't work as well.
The stage for heart disease is set before menopause by factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, extra weight (especially around the waist), and smoking. All of these factors play a part in plaque buildup.
Women are more likely to have "nonclassic" heart attack symptoms than men. Still, healthcare providers note, unexplained jaw, shoulder, back, or arm pain can also signal a man's heart attack even when the classic crushing chest pain is absent.
These are the most common warning signals for heart attack:
Pain or discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back
Chest discomfort with sweating
Pain that spreads from the chest to the arm, neck, or jaw
Shortness of breath, tiredness, or upset stomach. These are particularly common in women.
If you are at risk for heart disease and have any of these symptoms, seek medical attention, up to and including calling 911, immediately. Time is a crucial factor in a heart attack because the longer the blockage remains untreated, the more heart muscle will die. Also, drugs that break down blockage in the arteries must be given within the first few hours.
Before menopause, for instance, a systolic reading (the upper number) of more than 120 on your blood pressure reading seems to show you face an added risk, studies have found. Experts recommend that women have their blood pressure checked any time they go to a health care provider, including visits to an OB/GYN provider.
High blood pressure is one of a cluster of symptoms called metabolic syndrome that also includes high cholesterol, high triglycerides (another type of blood fat), insulin resistance, and obesity.
Any woman found to have microvascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and other heart disease risk factors needs treatment.
This often means medication, but with mildly elevated numbers, lifestyle changes like regular exercise and losing weight may help. Talk with your healthcare provider about your target LDL ("bad") cholesterol, HDL ("good") cholesterol, and triglycerides levels.
For women with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, medication is a must to help prevent heart disease. Exercise and diet are still important, but are secondary.
Preventing or controlling heart disease may mean making changes in the way you live. A healthy heart requires a personal action plan. But where do you begin? A complete medical checkup is a sensible first step, especially if you have many risk factors. Your health care provider can tell if you have cardiovascular disease or its risk factors, and if so, help you with a practical treatment plan. Even if you don't have any risk factors now, you can discuss ways to lessen your chances of developing them.

It's already happening. I've been really sick since NY Eve day and felt so bad that Thursday called and begged to get in to the doc's office. Usually if there's something other than routine, they can fit you in. Instead I got in yesterday. By that time whatever virus I had picked up started to finally wain, so went there anyway to just get follow up advice, tylenol, extra Vit C, Cold-Eeze, salt water gargle, etc. Now at least if SR gets it, I'll be prepared with extra cold eeze, etc.
I won't comment on what I think of the Dept of Education. After sitting through some of those education classes at college in order to have a fallback plan if my majors didn't help, I have no respect for those courses, a big waste of time. Federal beaurocrats and education is a double pain. I aced those classes and never cracked the book, slept through some of the classes and didn't really miss all that much. It was mostly drivel.
A classic case of confirmation bias. What you experienced has nothing whatsoever to do with Obamacare. The simple fact is that for all the hand wringing over the impending shortage of doctors if everyone gets proper healthcare in the US, we already have fewer doctors per capita in the US than most Euroculture countries. Doctors don't like to have empty slots in their day; they overbook to ensure that it doesn't happen.
Having said all that, my primary care physician doesn't overbook and I rarely have to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen. My nephrologist on the other hand, deals with people who have serious existing problems and sometimes runs a little late. I can forgive the nephrologist because unlike many of her specialty, she does more than look at numbers and treat with pills and machines. She discusses diet and stress and other aspects of healthcare including the effectiveness of various possible treatments, including treatments which are nonclinical.
We do need more doctors. We need more doctors in some fields and fewer in others. We currently "let the market decide" to some degree, and that results in people wandering outside their training. We need our state universities and teaching hospitals to ramp up for the need in advance. We need them to stop playing Good Old BOy type games and to recruit students with potential from a young age instead of complaining that too few students are qualified to begin the process. There are kids out there who don't know that they can be doctors. That isn't a measure of their intelligence, it's a cultural thing we have indulged in the name of continuity. We can't afford to play the hereditary doctor game anymore.
You probably could have gotten in had you been more demanding, and failing that could have gone to Urgent Care could you not?
hardly a valid comparison but since you claimed it: Medicare's overhead is estimated @ 1.4% to 5% while private insurers overhead is estimated at 12% - 30%.
What people thought of Bush by 2008, not that I can feel very sorry for most of the Bush voters here.
President George W. Bush's job approval rating has dropped to 28%, the lowest of his administration. Bush's approval is lower than that of any president since World War II, with the exceptions of Jimmy Carter (who had a low point of 28% in 1979), and Richard Nixon and Harry Truman, who suffered ratings in the low- to mid-20% range in the last years of their administrations.
Fox News:
Most Recent (13-14 Jan 09) Approve 34% 31% 36% 13% 67% 29% Disapprove 58% 61% 56% 82% 25% 61%

You know some of those Bush supporters had to be independent.
Nearly four out of five Americans, including 70 percent of Republicans, believe civil war will break out in Iraq the bloody hot spot upon which Bush has staked his presidency. Nearly 70 percent of people say the U.S. is on the wrong track, a 6-point jump since February.
"I'm not happy with how things are going," said Margaret Campanelli, a retiree in Norwich, Conn., who said she tends to vote GOP. "I'm particularly not happy with Iraq, not happy with how things worked with Hurricane Katrina."
Republican Party leaders said the survey explains why GOP lawmakers are rushing to distance themselves from Bush on a range of issues port security, immigration, spending, warrantless eavesdropping and trade, for example.
I'm sorry, but the liberals warned them about some of that stuff. They didn't listen. They whine later.
Looked at the linked content, and I'll grant that the 50% figure I threw out was a bit of hyperbole...BUT
The source itself rates the content as "half truth".
Besides the "other factors" that they themselves allude to as making Boxer's statements "half true", the comparison of private vs. public overhead is specious.
A chronic complaint of most private entities is that the administrative burden of Medicare increases cost to patients, doctors, and facilities alike. In effect, Medicare, by placing its administrative requirements on the deliverers of covered care, has artificially shifted much of what should be its own overhead onto the private sector.
Also, Medicare is only one segment of the federal entitlement budget, about 22% of the total federal budget. Add in SS and Welfare, and entitlement spending adds up to a little over 60% of total federal spending.
What I'd like to see is a breakout of the budgets for Medicare, SS, and Welfare, showing how much of that budget actually gets paid out in benefits, labor, facility support, etc. vs. total budget for each expenditure. I distrust the Medicare report of overhead for the reasons cited in the article, and for the fact that nowhere in any articles I can find, is the non-value-added manpower and labor mentioned. Only fixed costs like facilities, utilities, and hard goods ever seem to get mentioned when any of these articles discuss "overhead".
Still haven't found any source for budget breakouts like this....
If you read the comment that I was replying to, I didn't attribute my problem to Obamacare, just that it was difficult to get in. A friend is a resident specializing in neurology. His comment was that he's very worried about the bills that he's run up in a prestigious med school and the liklihood of ever paying it back because of the uncertainties of Obamacare. (He's not from this area).
I have a suspicion that many docs down here are going to retire. There have been articles in our local lib rag about how so many more baby boomers will be retiring to the Sarasota area soon. Combine docs retiring as they don't want to be slaves to Obamacare, more students opting not to go to medical school at the time when more docs will be desperately needed, and we'll always be waiting a long time for appointments.
And unless I'm extremely sick, wouldn't go to one of those urgent care places. They have no idea of existing health problems. It's like I had a vet in St Louis in a large clinic that only had a 4 hour window that was uncovered. If I'd select a vet so my dogs could get the best quality health care in a crisis, why would I do less for myself at an urgent care clinic? I don't have that luxury down here for our dogs, but thankfully we have younger, healthier dogs. I needed the best of care for Blue (the grey pictured in my avatar). He had epilepsy and other problems for many years and was kept in good shape by our vet in St Louis. He only lasted about a year here.

Starfox cover, ZX Spectrum version

Publisher(s) | Reaktor |

Starfox is a video game that was published by Ariolasoft on their Reaktor label in 1987 for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Amstrad CPC. The player assumes the role of Hawkins, a space fighter pilot charged with protecting the Hyturian star system from invading alien forces. The game uses wireframe and shaded vector graphics to depict combat, in a similar fashion to games such as Elite and Starstrike 2, which was also created by Realtime Games. Ariolosoft had previously published the Electronic Arts titles Skyfox and Arcticfox and the name was chosen to build on the success of those titles. The US Commodore 64 release was titled The Rubicon Alliance.
There are eight missions in all. The route taken can be mapped out by means of the "holocube", a 3D representation of the system, that can be zoomed and viewed from any angle. The holocube will also record the positions of planets and enemy convoys. Once the route is plotted the player may fast-forward to their destination.
The player pilots the Starfox craft from the main cockpit view, which also features three scanners showing views to the rear and sides. The "Mark 1 Laser" is aimed from here and is one of three weapons the ship is capable of carrying at any one time. As the game progresses the weapon systems can be upgraded by finding a planet and docking at its orbital space station, where damage can also be repaired. Fuel will deplete over time and at varying rates depending on how fast the ship is flown, and can only be replenished by locating and using a fuel ship.
Two logs are automatically kept, one that records the positions of dangers such as electron storms and ice storms, and details of enemy ships, and weapon details. The second is an autopilot log for helping navigate to logged planets.
The game got a generally positive reception from the gaming press in 1987. CRASH praised the ZX Spectrum version for its "outstanding graphics" and concluded it was "very good if you put some effort into it",[1] while Your Sinclair thought it "[a] disappointingly Elite-ish game ... seems very slow".[2] Sinclair User commented that despite the game having "the ability to be excruciatingly infuriating", it was overall "a damned good shoot-out", and a "very high quality game".[3]
Commodore User were less enthusiastic about the Commodore 64 version of the game; they said "Star Fox is initially a fun game, but somehow it seems like a diluted version of Elite...it just gets all a little too slow and frustratingly dull at points."[4]

Teachers and
governors at Catholic schools could be sacked if they are gay, remarry or live
with a partner without tying the knot.
New advice
from the church warns there are 'substantive life choices' which are incompatible
with the Church's teachings.
Secretary Michael today rebuffed calls to intervene, insisting schools only had
to act within the law.
teachers, principals, deputy heads and heads of RE and most governors at
Catholic schools are required to be practising Catholics. They must also
conduct themselves in a way which does not conflict with the Church, the
guidance says.
It states:
'There are also substantive life choices which are incompatible with the
teaching of the Catholic Church and which may be detrimental or prejudicial to
the religious ethos and character of a Catholic school.'
These could
- Getting married in a non-Catholic church, register office or other place without special dispensation
- Remarrying after divorce
- 'Maintaining a partnership of intimacy with another person' outside of marriage approved by the Church 'where this would, at least in the public forum, carry the presumption from their public behaviour of this being a non-chaste relationship'
- Publishing or distributing materials that are contrary to Gospel values and the teaching of the Catholic Church.
Failure to
abide by the rules could affect 'their ability to govern or to lead and model
Catholic life and faith with ecclesial integrity may cease to exist', it adds. - Mail Online
The whole religion thing confuses me a little - there's some holy being up somewhere who plans each life and is really interested in each of our miserable lives. This being is willing to bring destruction, chaos and torment down upon our heads (especially those of us with already crappy lives) at the same time as enriching and satisfying the most evil beings ever to walk the Earth. This holy entity is also not willing to just clarify the whole religious who's right debate, but rather creates a number of competing religions and sets the followers onto paths of war and death. This holy being designed and implemented the life and acts of Hitler and World War 2. This holy being finds it necessary for there to be different holy books and tomes chronicling the teachings of him/her/it-self, and many of these holy texts are contradictory and hypocritical. Consider the bible: love thy neighbour and forgiveness are in there - but so is sanctioned murder and vengeance and shit.
Maybe this super-duper being is testing to see just how far our beliefs will go - exactly to what extent we will go to justify and validify what it is we believe to be true. If the holy books mentioned dragons, then dinosaurs would have a different name.
So now we're supposed to love and forgive everyone, as well as treat them like siblings, except for the gays, whores, witches, women (in some books), people who speak ill of the super-duper being, murderers (except when the murdered is a witch or gay etc) , unmarried lovers and so on and so forth.
People have used and twisted the words and teachings of religious texts to suit their own needs and ambitions (Crusades, suicide bombers...) - if religion can so easily abused then maybe we're doing it wrong. The concept of some God directing our lives is not what is best for all - it allows us to conveniently blame some external force that can never be proven to exist.

The majority of new job openings in the United States today are in small businesses, and most successful business leaders display a great deal of entrepreneurial behavior. Entrepreneurial Studies is an interdisciplinary major that focuses on the tools needed to start a new business, manage a small business, expand a family business, lead innovation efforts in a corporate environment, or become an effective manager in a fast-growing enterprise.Services are offered to both men and women, including projects that offer professional consulting and student support to assist local businesses.
As part of the business core, students take upper-division business requirements, including Introduction to Marketing, Managing Organizational Behavior, Business Finance, Management Information Systems, and Operations Management. The major then begins with Principles of Entrepreneurship, and continues with upper-level courses in all of the business disciplines, including Marketing Communications, Small Business Finance, Accounting/Tax for Small Business, and Business Law. The capstone seminar in Entrepreneurship pulls it all together, giving students an opportunity to complete a professional business plan that can be implemented to start a new venture of their own creation and includes participation in a campus wide business plan competition.
Each year, Entrepreneurial Studies students participate in the University of Hartford Business Plan Competition. Students from the Barney School and other colleges have faculty advisors who help them transform great ideas into viable strategies for success. Each team presents their plan to a panel of industry experts. Cash prizes are awarded to the first place and runner-up teams. Read about the latest Business Plan Competition.

life has been busy yes but really i just feel slack that i havent shared anything in forever, but really i was at a loss for what to share. Its no secret i stopped scrapbooking, as many i know have. And then we moved, so i faced no garden, shared family housing of which i thank my parents for while we sorted ourselves out and then of course the return to full time work. eek about sums up the second hard of 2011. And then i added to it all by starting my fine arts degree! like i have the time, rolls eyes...lucky i spend part of everyday creating anyway, and so i dont see scrapbooking returning to this fair blog anytime soon, ive lost the passion i once had and its been replaced with ART!! not really a stretch after the uni statement!
So i thought i would share my journey into this fine art degree, a way for me to watch my own progress, esp this year after i start studio units in painting and sculpture. Ive started and finished two units and did really well, both general art based units. A high distinction and a distinction, i was chuffed after 13 yrs of not studying. this term im slogging my way through my last two general ed units, and critical thinking and popular culture are both kicking me in the tush! I know im working on a credit in one, but the other god only knows! but i will be pleased to see the back of them in a few more weeks. sometime in march its back to arts units in arts departments thank god for that!
this was my final art and creativity work, its a stop motion animation. You dont even want to know how long i spent on the stupid thing, how many times a drew that damn bird, took photos etc, insane!
I shared some of my art journal after i started it last yr and this we moved and i disappeared, i did keep the journalling up and that journal was eventually filled with lots of uni stuff and whatever else was happening at the time. This week i shouted myself a 2012 journal or two one that i will keep personal and one that will be filled with uni type stuff. i was naughty and sprung for one filled with really nice paper, thankgod for sales right :) I also sprung for the blue bazaar mixed media kit, which seems to be my go to shop for art journaling stuff. Ive been lead and inspired to some great stuff from their site and journaling friday challenges.
Heres my first 2012 page, and i will share what i get up to with my kit when it starts in feb.
the person was inspired by the cover of an art journaling mag i got this week, how very post modern of me to rip off someone elses idea, thanks for the inspiration but, take it as the compliment its meant to be. Big changes ahead for the yr of 2012, new school for me, new yr level, more uni, emily at school (eek) its a big unknown!
We moved as i mentioned, and in december finally decided to be adults again and leave my parents house, rolls eyes. such is life but hey. anyway we bought of the south side of brisbane, a very very large ridiculous house that I LOVE! lol im still sorting out and painting said ridiculous house, but will share pics shortly.
And to finish off this large post, heres some of the art work ive done in the last few months, some of it in the last few days :) gotta love the holidays even if they are rapidly finishing! cry!!
I only just finished this today. Its been a few weeks in creation, and months in my head, it will have a buddy on the wall exactly the same..:) Ps thats the green of my feature walls Olive Reserve! and FYI i hate painting rooms!
I did this just yesterday, no guesses for who it represents and its on lillys wall in her bedroom, now if only they would behave like this! they r a bit sick of each other after the holidays ;) again people inspired by the same artist from my art journaling mag (I get the feeling this will be my go to doodle for people for a while, i dont know y)
this i painting for emily for her birthday
this followed, lovely colour emily chose wouldnt you say (Insert sarcasm here..:))
and this finished the set off, they are all on the walls of her room.
did this the week we moved into the house we bought
and i did this last week
and these r some of my favs from the last few months. The hearts i think im going to turn into something for my bedroom wall above my bed.
until next time...:)

YUCAIPA: Little Theatre presents 'Frozen' inspiration 'The Snow Queen'
WHEN: 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 3:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
WHERE: Yucaipa Little Theatre, 12135 California St., Yucaipa
ADMISSION: $12 for adults, $10 for students and seniors for the evening shows
INFORMATION: yucaipalittletheatre.homestead.com
The Yucaipa Little Theatre will wrap up its latest production, "The Snow Queen," this weekend.
"The Snow Queen" is a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen and was the inspiration for the film "Frozen." And while you may think you know the story of the Snow Queen, this production is closer to the original tale than the recent Disney phenomenon.
"The Snow Queen" tells the story of a queen with magic powers who takes bad children to her castle high in the mountains. Here, she hosts a contest of wits, where she has the children play mind games and solve puzzles to see who is the smartest. If one can solve the ultimate riddle, which no child has ever done, the Snow Queen will grant him or her a wish.
"This is a production for all ages. There is funny dialogue and great songs to keep everyone entertained. It is also a show written by local talents, directed by a local, and local kids and adults are in the show," director Christine Presley said.
Mindy Follett stars as the Snow Queen, with Malachi Hudson as Kay, a cursed child who was recently taken by the Snow Queen. Makenna Costelow takes on the role of Gerda, Kay's friend who is searching for her. .
The Yucaipa Little Theatre production was written by Clay Presley of Yucaipa and features music by Ken Corona of San Bernardino.
"If you want to know about the story behind 'Frozen,' come on down," Christine Presley said.

Embarcadero reimagined
Port presents concepts for bayfront improvements
Dave Rice 11:29 a.m., March 30
The Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a friend of the court brief in favor of those suing Tarsadia Hotel, parent of Hard Rock Hotel. Tarsadia sold hotel rooms to the public. People could only occupy the rooms for 28 days under the contract. The rooms were under the control of Tarsadia. The suit, which maintained that the contracts were securities that should have been registered with the SEC, was thrown out at the district level, but the SEC says the court erred seriously. Purchasers signing the contract were denied "the effective use and control of the units," and gave that control to Tarsadia. The contract stated that there were no investment expectations for purchasers, but "the economic and practical reality demonstrates that the transactions were investments," argued the SEC in the amicus curiae. The original suit was filed by the law firm of Aguirre, Morris & Severson. The contracts "constituted investment contracts under the federal securities laws," says the SEC.

Planteur (right): set to return to Longchamp on Sunday
PICTURE: HKJCBotti has Planteur primed for d'Ispahan
Preview: France, Sunday (2.40pm BST)
Longchamp: Prix d'Ispahan (Group 1) 1m1¼f, 4yo+ (2.40pm BST live on RUK)
THE weather in Paris has been so atrocious in recent weeks that one of the French capital's most popular daily newspapers devoted its front page story on Saturday to the negative effect the cold and rain is having on people's happiness.
With such a British obsession now apparently gripping the French psyche, the Newmarket-trained pair Planteur and Beauty Parlour arrive at Longchamp armed with Group 1 credentials and intent on inflicting more damage on already-fragile Gallic morale.
Trainer Marco Botti said of Planteur, who has won at the course three times already: "I couldn't be happier with him and he has been training very well and looks at his peak. I hope the ground isn't too soft as good to soft would be ideal. It's a tough race but he must have a very good shout."
Planteur was third in this race 12 months ago behind Golden Lilac (and was later promoted to second on the disqualification of Cirrus Des Aigles).
The son of Danehill Dancer turned in another high quality effort when third to Animal Kingdom in the Dubai World Cup on his most recent outing.
Like Planteur, Beauty Parlour was trained by Elie Lellouche when in France, but returns with a differing profile.
Winner of the Poule d'Essai in 2012, Beauty Parlour skipped last Saturday's intended reappearance in the Lockinge because of the quick ground and will face no such terrors on a sodden Grande Piste.
The fact remains that her only start since leaving Lellouche for Sir Henry Cecil was an eminently forgettable performance in the Sun Chariot Stakes last September.
With the defection on Saturday of last season's Prix du Jockey Club hero Saonois, there are no Group 1 winners among the home defence, with only Mandour and Sofast left to represent the classic crop of 2012.
Maxios and Don Bosco are still improving at the ages of five and six respectively, while if the rain continues to fall and conditions deteriorate further from the forecast very soft, only the connections of the eight-year-old Zinabaa will be truly happy.

Who has not dreamed of a beautiful blonde neighbor? Probably everyone in their dreams have seen her. And here she was in front of us and she is ready to tease us all day long at the window.
She realizes that she is being watched, but she still continues to tease us. She slowly declines her pants and then her blouse. She has a beautiful body and chest. She begins to caress her body, touching her chest then her pussy. She is just a dream in flash.

The hyper-relaxed Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woefully mismatched from the start, and no matter how hard Greg and Pam try, there is just no bringing their families together.

Great post Michele! Depending on the content, I would also consider doing the opposite of what Amber from Radian 6 did - make it into a webinar, seminar, or propose it as a presentation at a conference. Adding an "offline" element sometimes gives you additional reach to an audience that may not be aware of your brand.

Old English hond, hand "hand; side; power, control, possession," from Proto-Germanic *khanduz (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Dutch, German hand, Old Norse hönd, Gothic handus). The original Old English plural handa was superseded in Middle English by handen, later hands.
Meaning "person who does something with his hands" is from 1580s, hence "hired workman" (1630s) and "sailor in a ship's crew" (1660s). Clock and watch sense is from 1570s. Meaning "round of applause" is from 1838. The linear measure of 4 inches (originally 3) is from 1560s, now used only in giving the height of horses. The meaning "playing cards held in one player's hand" is from 1620s; that of "a round at a card game" is from 1620s.
First hand, second hand, etc. (mid-15c.) are from the notion of something being passed down from hand to hand. Out of hand (1590s) is opposite of in hand "under control" (c.1200). Hand over fist (1825) is suggestive of sailors and fishermen hauling in nets. Hand jive is from 1958. To win something hands down (1855) is from horse racing, from a jockey's gesture of letting the reins go loose in an easy victory.
The Two Thousand Guinea Stakes was not the best contested one that it has been our fortune to assist at. ... [T]hey were won by Meteor, with Scott for his rider; who went by the post with his hands down, the easiest of all easy half-lengths. Wiseacre certainly did the best in his power to spoil his position, and Misdeal was at one time a little vexatious. ["The Sportsman," report from April 26, 1840]To hand it to (someone) "acknowledge someone's ability" is slang from c.1906. Phrase on the one hand ... on the other hand is recorded from 1630s, a figurative use of the physical sense of hand in reference to position on one side or the other side of the body (as in the lefthand side), which goes back to Old English Hands up! as a command from a policeman, robber, etc., is from 1873. Hand-to-mouth is from c.1500. Hand-in-hand attested from c.1500 as "with hands clasped;" figurative sense of "concurrently" recorded from 1570s.
c.1400, "take charge of, seize," from hand (n.). Meaning "to pass (something to someone)" is from 1640s. Related: Handed; handing.
hand (hānd)
The terminal part of the human arm located below the forearm, used for grasping and holding and consisting of the wrist, palm, four fingers, and an opposable thumb.
A homologous or similar part in other animals.
To give, esp something not desired; bestow forcefully, fraudulently, etc: The Red Sox handed the Yankees a 12 to 3 shellacking/ What kind of con job was he trying to hand you? (1919+)
Related Terms
both hands, cool hand, dead man's hand, give someone the glad hand, glad-hand, have one's hands full, not lay a glove on someone, tip one's mitt, with one's hand in the till, with one hand tied behind one's back
1. Said of an operation (especially a repetitive, trivial, and/or tedious one) that ought to be performed automatically by the computer, but which a hacker instead has to step tediously through. "My mailer doesn't have a command to include the text of the message I'm replying to, so I have to do it by hand." This does not necessarily mean the speaker has to retype a copy of the message; it might refer to, say, dropping into a subshell from the mailer, making a copy of one's mailbox file, reading that into an editor, locating the top and bottom of the message in question, deleting the rest of the file, inserting ">" characters on each line, writing the file, leaving the editor, returning to the mailer, reading the file in, and later remembering to delete the file. Compare eyeball search.
2. By extension, writing code which does something in an explicit or low-level way for which a presupplied library routine ought to have been available. "This cretinous B-tree library doesn't supply a decent iterator, so I'm having to walk the trees by hand."
[Jargon File]
Called by Galen "the instrument of instruments." It is the symbol of human action (Ps. 9:16; Job 9:30; Isa. 1:15; 1 Tim. 2:8). Washing the hands was a symbol of innocence (Ps. 26:6; 73:13; Matt. 27:24), also of sanctification (1 Cor. 6:11; Isa. 51:16; Ps. 24:3, 4). In Ps. 77:2 the correct rendering is, as in the Revised Version, "My hand was stretched out," etc., instead of, as in the Authorized Version, "My sore ran in the night," etc. The right hand denoted the south, and the left the north (Job 23:9; 1 Sam. 23:19). To give the right hand was a pledge of fidelity (2 Kings 10:15; Ezra 10:19); also of submission to the victors (Ezek. 17:18; Jer. 50:15). The right hand was lifted up in taking an oath (Gen. 14:22, etc.). The hand is frequently mentioned, particularly the right hand, as a symbol of power and strength (Ps. 60:5; Isa. 28:2). To kiss the hand is an act of homage (1 Kings 19:18; Job 31:27), and to pour water on one's hands is to serve him (2 Kings 3:11). The hand of God is the symbol of his power: its being upon one denotes favour (Ezra 7:6, 28; Isa. 1:25; Luke 1:66, etc.) or punishment (Ex. 9:3; Judg. 2:15; Acts 13:11, etc.). A position at the right hand was regarded as the chief place of honour and power (Ps. 45:9; 80:17; 110:1; Matt. 26:64).


text: Watch Jay Leno Raise Hell In The Porsche 918 SpyderPatrick George3/24/14 7:00pmFiled to: Porsche 918 SpyderJay Leno7511EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink GIF I feel terrible for Jay Leno sometimes. He loves cars so much, but he doesn't own any cool ones and never, ever gets to drive anything interesting. The man has a tough life, so I'm really glad he got the chance to sample a Porsche 918 Spyder in all its glory. Okay, I'm just jealous. But everyone is jealous of Jay and his garage. And in his latest video, he explains that the hybrid 887 horsepower 918 Spyder isn't just one of the fastest cars ever, but rather "a race car you can drive every day." The first part of the video is an explainer about how the car works, and the second is the actual road test. We've seen plenty of hardcore 918 track hoonage so far, but Jay's video shows that the car happens to be surprisingly driveable in real-world settings, much like a 911 is. He and Porsche's Daniel Eastman say it's far easier to drive than a Carrera GT. Oh, and when you want to get on it, it's unfathomably, mind-blowingly fast. Carry on.Reply75 repliesLeave a reply

Apparently, the DVD and Blu-Ray versions of Avatar are having some widespread DRM issues. I've been telling friends and my family to wait for the inevitable double-dip edition anyway, since this one is just a barebones disc with no making-of featurettes or anything special, but it looks like we now have one more reason to do so.
If you missed it, you can read our review of Avatar here (the review was written based on the 3D theater version).

5 New Bitters for Your Bar
Bitters are bigger and better in 2011

Being from Trinidad, I've grown up very exposed to Angostura Bitters. I think I still use Angostura in 1 out of every 3 dishes I make - from adding to the eggs in an omelette to the marinade for meats. So much so, that I always have 3 on hand.
Adding the orange bitters is a great way to add some more depth to clear soda's (club soda, Sierra Mist, etc).Jan 18, 2011 at 1:40 PM

Illegal U-Turn
The Warning
On Wednesday, I was driving around Minocqua/Woodruff area looking for a bowling alley. Linda's car has OnStar, so we asked for the nearest bowling alley and received directions to the Woodruff Lanes. I began driving according to the directions that OnStar gave us, when suddenly, I realized we had passed the turn required. So at the next intersection, I pulled into the left-turn lane and made a U-turn to try again.
I got to where the road should have been and noticed no road, so I pulled into a parking lot. Behind me were flashing lights. I pulled over in the parking lot. So did the state trooper car.
Well, the trooper, Officer Bedish, immediately explained that "it's illegal to make a U-turn at a controlled intersection." He asked for my license and asked me to confirm that everything on there was current. I didn't tell him that I don't weight 150 pounds anymore; other than that, everything is indeed current.
After about ten minutes, he came back to the window and gave me my license and a sheet of paper. He explained: "This is a copy of your traffic warning."
Violation: 346.33(1)(a): Unlawful U/Y Turn – Control.Intersection
The Research
This shocked me. I was certain that in Texas, no such law existed. In fact, it seemed to me that I had seen "No U-Turn" signs often enough to know that when it wasn't allowed, a sign would be posted. I consulted with others from other states, and all agreed that such a law seemed ridiculous.
So I got online and did some research. Sure enough, it is illegal to make a U-turn at an intersection controlled by light or officer in the state of Wisconsin. But is this true in other states? I decided to check it out, and after consulting the traffic laws of all fifty states, here's what I've found:
- An overwhelming 47 states allow U-turns at traffic lights, except when otherwise signed.
- Only three states declare this illegal: Wisconsin, Missouri, and Oregon, although Oregon's statutes allow such turns when otherwise signed. [There is a sign that allows a U-turn.]
- In Virginia towns, cities, and business districts of counties, it is illegal to make a U-turn at any place except an intersection.
- U-turns are so common in Texas that the U-turn lane found under freeways before the traffic light is called the "Texas turnaround" even when it's found in other states.
Clearly, Wisconsin is ridiculous. Not allowing U-turns at intersections, when nearly every other state does (and when Virginia doesn't allow an alternative!) is ludicrous. Nonetheless, I now have a traffic warning. Thank you, Wisconsin.

The Amazing Race and the Phantom Puppy Theives
Trip Start
Feb 14, 2006
Trip End
Apr 06, 2008
I am in the capital doing some work so I wanted to take advantage of the free internet to give another update on life here in the DR. My most recent adventure referred to in the title was a bola race from Santiago to Samana. In Dominican Spanish, a "bola" refers to a free ride. So, a few of my friends and fellow volunteers got it into their heads that we needed to have a bola race. Santiago is the second-largest city in the country and the closest major city to my site. Samana is on the northeastern tip of the island on a peninsula jutting out into a large bay, situated close to some of the best beaches in the country. Participants were recruited, teams formed, and strategies planned. There were ten teams of two (male/female) because it isn't very easy for two men to get a ride and it was determined that two women wouldn't be safe. We convened in Santiago on Friday night for a cookout and a "charla" (Spanish for chat) on the rules and regulations of the bola. The rules were simple - no rides with anyone you know, no paying for any ride, and no using your real name. The race started Saturday morning, with teams leaving every fifteen minutes. My partner and I drew the first start time of 7:00 am, so off we went. The hardest bola to catch was the first one to get out of Santiago, and we ended up waiting about a half an hour. After that it was relatively easy, and we got rides in everything from air-conditioned SUVs to the back of pickup trucks to huge dump trucks. We caught a total of eight rides and made it to Samana in five and a half hours for a 5th place finish. Now, I have a wide competitive streak in me so I can't say I was too happy about not coming in first, but it was all in good fun and we are gearing up for a bola race across the country in 2007. We spent the weekend in Las Galeras, which is a small laid-back town outside of Samana and on Sunday went to Playa Rincon, which is supposedly one of the best beaches in the DR. It was picture-perfect, and we spent the day swimming, listening to music, and playing Scrabble in the sand. We were the only people on the beach, so it was pretty amazing. Next up on our reality-tv-ish agenda is a Iron Chef-style cookoff using only ingredients found at a local colmado. Colmado supplies can be pretty limited, depending on the size, but are usually limited to rum, whiskey, powdered milk, tomato sauce, margerine, salami, and things of that nature. Should be pretty interesting, so stay tuned for more stories!
After a weekend of fun and adventure it was hard to go back to my site, but knowing that I had a small fluffy ball of enthusiasm by the name of Stella waiting for me made it a lot easier. She came running out of my host family's house to greet me and covered me with kisses, which was a nice homecoming. I had been worried about her because my host family told me that people steal puppies all of the time. Apparently if they are driving along and see a puppy they will snatch it up and take it away. I was worried that I would come home to news of a puppy theft (I mean, Stella is pretty darn cute and who wouldn't want her?). But alas, she was alive and well and escaped the puppy theives for the time being.
Lest you get the wrong impression of my life here in the DR, my work is coming along and I seem to be getting busier and busier. I wanted to start off my youth group with a big fundraiser but I quickly realized that first we needed to be organized before we could attempt anything of that nature. We have been working a lot with concepts like what it means to be a leader, how we can be an example for the community, etc. I am really excited to work with these kids - they are pretty amazing and I know that eventually we will get a lot done. Next Saturday we are commencing with the gardens at the early hour of 6:00 am, so I will post pictures as things progress. For pictures of the bola race and the beach, check out my Flickr site at http://www.flickr.com/photos/90483948@N00/
Hope all of you are well. I miss everyone and am looking forward to coming home for the holidays!! Take care and stay in touch.

The man, Joshua Van Auker, allegedly texted Ward's personal assistant on Wednesday with a threat to go public with whatever info he had. Van Auker's girlfriend, according to what the personal assistant told police, used to be involved in a "physical relationship" with Ward, who is divorced.AdvertisementThe Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says the criminal complaint noted that Van Auker threatened to expose Ward for "the criminal offense of paying women for sex, and thereby exposing Ward to ridicule or contempt."Says the Associated Press:AdvertisementVan Auker was arrested Thursday by detectives from the Allegheny County district attorney's office after he allegedly met with Ward's personal assistant, Raymond Burgess, who paid him the money in exchange for unspecified "materials" in an envelope that Van Auker said could prove his claims, according to a criminal complaint. Detectives monitoring that exchange then arrested Van Auker but have not said what was in the envelope.Ward's spokesman told the AP that Ward had no knowledge of the extortion attempt, which the spokesman called "the act of a desperate individual trying to get money from a celebrity."

Great point! Had not thought about that.

many on this board feel as I do pertaining to training however time will tell and the anti gun lawyers will be the first to make an example out a permit holder with limited training , some may feel that hunting training is the same as ccw and those people may have a real wake up call down the road. Good luck and like previously mentioned, 4-5 hrs of your time and a hundred bucks will only add to your education and preparation for real life situations.
Also if anyone is offended by my opinion, lighten up! this is america last time I checked,,
I have also had a cc course, because you are rite I also believe knowing the law is an important aspect of this whole thing, I just dont want the govt. telling me I have to do it any more than I want the govt. telling me that I broke the law cause I ate at Mc Donalds and Mc Donalds is bad for me and if I eat their enugh it will eventually kill me. Any time Govt mandates, it limits your freedom. I am not saying you are wrong, because you are not wrong, at least not any more wrong than me. Their is a line for everyone drawin between freedom and personal protection. Give up a little freedom you gain a little protection. Give up a little protection you gain a little freedom. That line is drawn between the two differently in every single man women and child. Best we can do is debate it an try to understand the others point of view. And yes I do understan yours, my line is just drawn in a little different place than yours. Dosnt make either of us wrong in my point of view. At least not enough that we cant just agree to disagree.
Saturday wife decide she wanted a new hand gun we have had weapons around us all our lives. But she wanted something smaller. So We drove over to fleet Farm got a great deal on the Ruger LCP380 she wanted. Then I noticed 3 other women filling out the paper work.
So far less than 60,000 apl in we need to encourage more to apply a number that low is not looking good for us
While I can't comment on hunter safety courses for I have never taken one, I've gotten my training from the service. I would believe that any type of firearm training is a good foundation to build off of. We need to be more diligent and stay current with the laws and every single aspect of our new freedom. Any new laws or changes to existing laws will not be forwarded to us by the DOJ, It's up to us to stay informed and those of us that do not the government will hold that against us should we face the dreaded moment.
I think tomorow is day 45 for me. Sent 11/4, cashed check 11/21, Im not getting any younger!!! LOL, I am quite sure tomorow or tuesday at the latest, If i do not get it tomorow I will call on tuesday, if I do not get a reasonable excuse/reason or I get the runaround a certified letter will be sent. I am pretty confident tho. Havent herd anybody go over 45 yet but some went rite up to it.
Want to know what I'm worried about, it's the first case where a ccw uses his weapon! God help that first person! the media firestorm will be unbelieveable...
Does it go by your mail date for sure or the check cash date? I wish I woulda sent the application certified so I had proof. But yah, I could send the certified letter tomorow just in case. Just think its gota be comming, I would be real supprised if it didnt?
I have to say the number of applications has far outpaced the amnt. expected in the first two months that is why the DOJ has gotten backed up. Before the Law went into effect estimates were for 15-25,000 for the initial kickoff so the amnt of applications so far is very encouraging . I have talked to several people who said they aare going to apply but they want to wait till the DOJ has the kinks worked out . So please do not be discourged we have a very good start. Also it would be a good idea to contact your representatives and the Gov and tell them how much you appreciate being able to exersize your new right.And I encourage you all to Support our Governor who without we would still be without CCW.JUST MY OPINION.

Botox treatment of bladder?06/12/2004 |
My Interstitial Cysitits causes me to get up 3-4times nightly. I`m allergic to sulpha,which is in Elmiron,the major I.C.drug. My urologist now suggests I see a specialist to consider Botox treatment of the bladder. What can you tell me about this procedure and the pros/cons? Tahnks
Initial results with Botox have been favorable. Retreatment is necessary for the effects are temporary. I don`t see any downside to Botox other than the cost for I doubt that it would be covered by insurance companies for its application in this way is relatively new.

Lead Essay
What Larry Didn't Get
by Declan McCullagh
May 4, 2009
Journalist Declan McCullagh offers a mixed assessment of Lawrence Lessig's Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace: Although Lessig was right that preserving individual liberty on the Internet is important, and although he was right to note the crucial importance of infrastructure and basic rulemaking in preserving individual choice, Lessig was mistaken in at least two ways. Lawmakers haven't lived up to Lessig's high expectations, and the "threat" of commercialization has largely failed to materialize.
Response Essays
How to Get What We All Want
by Jonathan Zittrain
May 6, 2009
Jonathan Zittrain argues that the differences between Lawrence Lessig and Declan McCullagh aren't really ideological. They're about process and approach. He personally finds much common ground with cyberlibertarians, but also believes that a great deal of effort must be put forth to create institutions that will preserve an open Internet. Neither the government nor traditional, market-based firms are necessarily well-suited to the task.
Code, Pessimism, and the Illusion of "Perfect Control"
by Adam Thierer
May 8, 2009
Adam Thierer condemns Lessig's Code for its pessimism and inaccurate predictions. Where Code predicted that the future would consist largely of online "walled gardens" offering total corporate control, the walled-garden model has proven a failure. Lessig has recently claimed that he is even more confident today of the predictions he made ten years ago; Thierer doubts whether any evidence supports him. Thierer views Code and the intellectual movement it spawned as essentially one that justifies government control where no such control is warranted. He laments this movement's growing influence.
Continuing the Work of Code
by Lawrence Lessig
May 11, 2009
Lawrence Lessig is happy that many of the bleaker predictions of Code have not come to pass. This is not to be taken, however, as a sign that freedom is easily gained or kept. It took an enormous amount of work on the part of many theorists, activists, coders, and lawyers to preserve liberty on the Internet. If Code looks wrong in hindsight, we have them to thank. Yet new threats loom large today, and Lessig in particular praises Jonathan Zittrain's The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It as a warning to a new generation seeking to preserve liberty on the Internet. Future activists will have to continue the work of preserving freedom, because, he concludes, democratic government often isn't up to the task.

Does anyone know how to assign a carrier signal other than playing the vst gui keys? I'd like to use my midi keyboard to trigger another synth that will become the carrier – but they always seem to become the input.
Hi Ben, I got word from the developer it is currently not possible to use another carrier.
It's not a priority at the moment since he's busy with other things, but he said he might try to see if it's possibly to implement it in Vocomorph.

Study after study has shown a clear link between overweight and obesity, as defined by a high body mass index (BMI), with an increased mortality risk. However, new research indicates using BMI as a tool to measure health risk in older individuals may not be so accurate.
What is BMI
Body mass index is calculated using an individual's height and weight. Weight in kilograms is divided by height in centimeters squared. BMI is frequently used to assess overall health. The World Health Organization currently sets four categories for BMI measurements:
Under 18.5 = underweight
18.5-24.9 = normal weight24.9-29.9 = overweight
Greater than 30 = obeseResearchers point out that these categories were determined based on studies of consisting of mostly younger and middle-age adults.
BMI May Not the Perfect Tool for the Elderly
An Australian study followed 9,240 men and women between the ages of 70 and 75. The study found individuals who were overweight according to their BMI had a 13% reduced risk of mortality for all causes. These findings are consistent with observations that weight loss in the elderly is linked to greater mortality. It's suggested that as we age nutritional reserves in the form of fat is protection in the case of illness.
A 2005 Canadian study followed 11,000 participants and found underweight adults had a 73% greater mortality risk versus those of normal weight. Interestingly, those who were overweight had a 17% reduced risk.
Also, a 2007 CDC study indicated overweight adults were at reduced risk of dying from infections, lung disease, and Alzheimer's.
Now, I in now way want to convey that being overweight is good for your health. I'm sharing these studies to show how BMI is just one tool for assessing your overall health and it's not perfect. Body fat plays a key role in your health risk and this is a factor BMI does not measure. An accurate evaluation of your health risk requires a variety of measurements, such as BMI, body fat percent, waist-to-hip ratio, etc.
Even though BMI recommendations for those over 70 may not need to be as "strict", it is still critical for elderly individuals (and everyone!) to remain physically active. Being sedentary doubles mortality risk for women and increases the risk for men 28%.

Some of us have been serving the traditional family dressing for years and some of us are looking for a new recipe to start our own tradition. (Some of us also call it stuffing.) This recipe calls for mushrooms, vegetables, sourdough bread, bacon and eggs all available at the Market. Shop the Market and create a new Farmers Market Stuffing. Have a stuffing recipe to share, stop by the Friends Table and we will be happy to post it.
1 1/4 pounds sourdough bread, crusts trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 12 cups)1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, coarsely chopped
1/2 pound oyster mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons canola oil, divided (use grapeseed oil as an alternative)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound slab bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 large Spanish onion, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 to 5 cups homemade chicken stock or low sodium canned chicken broth
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread the bread onto a large baking sheet (or 2 smaller baking sheets) in an even layer and bake, stirring a few times, until lightly golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove and let cool. Once cooled, put the cubes into a very large bowl.
Increase the heat to 375 degrees F. Combine the mushrooms in a large baking dish or baking sheet, toss with 3 tablespoons of the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven, stirring several times, until soft and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
While the mushrooms are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the saute pan and place back on the stove over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add 3 cups of the chicken stock and the herbs, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
Add the mushrooms to the bread, and then add the onion/stock mixture, egg, salt and pepper, and gently stir until combined. The dressing should be very wet, add more stock as needed. Scrape the mixture into a buttered 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue baking until the top is golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
