Excess iron - this is a very serious and common problem caused by the presence of excessive iron in the body.
It is one of the most common chemical elements in nature and naturally essential trace element for human body. The human body contains approximately 3, 4, 5, 5 grams of iron. Levels are 2/3, 1/3 - liver, bone marrow, muscle, and spleen.
The iron in our body performs many functions:
To assimilated iron, it needs a good secretion of gastric juice. Also contribute to the absorption of iron amino acids (lysine and histidine), simple carbohydrates (sorbitol, fructose, lactose), organic acids and vitamin C prevents the absorption of iron milk and dairy products, calcium, soy protein, fiber from bran phytin and some components of coffee and tea.
The excess iron in the body is extremely dangerous! Iron accumulates mostly in the heart muscle, pancreas and liver, and this has a negative effect on these organs. If the iron overload is not treated, can develop diseases such as:
Factors that lead to an excess of iron in the body:
The daily dose of iron is very approximate. Assimilation of this trace element is increasingly dependent on the state of the body, to determine which should be done blood tests. Approximate daily rate of iron
for women is 18 mg for men - 10 mg. The highest is the daily rate of iron in pregnant women during the second half of pregnancy - 33 mg.
Symptoms of excess iron:
The excess iron in the body is also complicated flow of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Even if you have symptoms of excess iron, to determine the exact diagnosis is possible only after the biochemical analysis of blood.
The most common, but the most effective method of adjusting the level of iron in the body - proper nutrition. It is important to remember that a lot of iron (more than 1 mg per 100 g) in water-melons, cranberry, melons, sprouts, sweet peppers, radishes, radish, beets, tomatoes, Jerusalem artichoke, spinach (3 mg) and sorrel ( to 2 mg). In other vegetables contain 0, 4 and 0, 9 mg of trace elements.
Those who have too much iron in the body, requires a special approach. You have to be careful even in small things. For example, one can use even ordinary ascorbic acid, because it can increase the absorption of iron in the body.
Also for the treatment of excess iron is used bloodletting (phlebotomy), and donation.

If you're planning a Disney trip with a baby, I highly (highly, highly, highly) recommend staying on property. There are so many convenience factors that make this a no brainer for our family. Disney really makes it easy to vacation with a baby!
This post contains some affiliate links. This means that if you click the link and purchase that item, I'll receive a small commission for my recommendation. This helps me keep my site up and running and free! It's my commitment to my readers that I only recommend items that we have and love!
Your Resort Stay
Choosing the Right Resort
After staying at so many Disney resorts, I can assure you that there's no "best" resort. They're all the best at what they do. The question is rather – which resort is right for you? I have a whole post outlining how to make this choice here.
It's my suggestion that you consider transportation convenience first and foremost when planning a Disney trip with a baby! There is no match for monorail resort convenience at the Grand Floridian, Polynesian, or Contemporary.
That being said, that convenience comes at a price and it's not a realistic one for many families. If that's the case for you, my next suggestion would be the Cabins at Fort Wilderness or Wilderness Lodge moderate resorts, which still make Magic Kingdom accessible by boat.
If a value resort is more in your price range, I'd highly recommend Art of Animation! We've stayed in their family suites and Little Mermaid rooms and have great reviews on both. Their Big Blue Pool area is ideal for little ones with the splash pad area!
Regardless of your choice, rest assured that Disney will provide an easy and enjoyable vacation!
Making Your Reservations
Although babies don't need park tickets, dining plans, or FastPasses, they do need to be included in your room reservation. They don't count towards room occupancy costs or totals, but Disney still needs to know of their presence, in case of an emergency! Many people consider leaving the baby off their reservation, thinking it will save them money, but it doesn't influence that at all. Safety first!
Getting Set Up in the Room
Sleeping Arrangements
I'm a big advocate for safe sleep environments, so it thrills me that Disney provides a travel crib or pack and play at no additional cost to families. Just make sure to note it on your reservation and mention it again at check-in! If you'll be staying in a Villa at one of the deluxe resorts, a pack and play will likely already be in your room.
Depending on your room size, this extra piece of furniture can make for cramped quarters. Plan on folding it up if you'll be spending a lot of time in your room. But also, make sure that anyone who will be alone with baby knows how to get it opened back up too! We have found that they fit perfectly between the two beds in value rooms (and the Port Orleans Riverside Royal Room).
When we visit, we like to bring our own sheets for the pack and play too. Our youngest has eczema and generally sensitive skin, so I like to bring sheets that have been washed at home. It also assures that we have a back-up if she springs a leak in the middle of the night!
Feeding & Food Storage
Almost every room at Disney has a mini-fridge (with full-sized refrigerators in the Cabins and Villas), so you'll have a place to keep baby's feeding items (breast milk, formula, opened baby food, etc) refrigerated. If your room doesn't have one, you can always put in a request with housekeeping and have one delivered at no additional cost, pending availability.
Most rooms do not have their own microwave, but you'll have access to one in your Resort's quick service restaurant, typically open 24/7.
When the baby was little, we would bring a fold-up bath sling for our bathtub. The tubs in most standard rooms are a bit cramped to comfortably get in the tub with baby, so the sling was a big help!
Making it Feel Like Home
My girls are used to sleeping with certain creature comforts, so we make sure to pack those items when we travel. If your little one is attached to a certain blanket or stuffed friend, make sure to bring it!
We also like to bring the girls' iPad to use for white noise. While we haven't had any noise problems in our many stays, it does help to tune out any hallway or bathroom noise and cover up any noise you may make while still awake!
Organizing Your Room
If you find yourself feeling a bit like sardines in a can, you're not alone! Babies need so many things that it can feel like they're taking over the entire room. Here are some tips for keeping your room feeling more organized.
- Keep your stroller and pack and play folded up when not in use.
- Store your bathroom related items (like baby's bath seat) in the bathroom. We often keep all of our toiletries stored in a bag, so they're not spread out everywhere.
- Bring a bottle drying rack and small basket to keep baby bottles, pacifiers, and other little pieces organized next to the sink.
- Keep all of your other food and drink related items on or in the dresser, where the mini fridge is located. We liked to use the dresser top as a mini snack bar, of sorts.
- Remember that a mini fridge is, well, mini. You won't be able to store large items there. If your baby is transitioning to milk, buy half gallon jugs, as the gallons won't fit!
- Utilize the closet and dresser storage to get things off the floor (and out of baby's reach). We were always amazed by how many things our youngest got into when we were in a confined space!
- Consider bringing a collapsible laundry basket (or even a trash bag!) to store laundry in.
Transportation & Amenities
getting to and from the parks
Disney transportation is one of our primary reasons for staying on property! Depending on your resort, you may have bus, boat, or monorail access to various parks.
Each Disney Resort will have its own bus or boat, while the monorail runs a loop to all of the accessible resorts. You don't need to worry about having a car seat for any Disney transportation, as it's not necessary. The only exception is the Minnie Van service that runs for an additional fee at the deluxe resorts, but they will have car seats available for your child!
You can read more about bringing your stroller on all of the various forms of transportation in our stroller post!
Resort Amenities
Your baby can enjoy most of the resort amenities, with the exception of adult lounges found at some Disney Resorts.
If you plan to bring them to the pool, know that Disney requires un-potty trained children to wear swim diapers. If you're not sure whether or not you'll use the pool, you can always buy swim diapers at the Resort shopping location. Don't stress about packing them, unless you already have them and know you'll use them!

Port companies around New Zealand are facing tough challenges. They need to increase revenues and profits just when shipping companies are moving towards fewer stops – using bigger ships, at larger ports. But there is one port company that is consolidating its strong position and will soon surge even further ahead.
Port of Tauranga is ideally positioned to accommodate larger ships because of its readily expandable infrastructure and strong balance sheet. With relatively low capital expenditure, more than 1 million containers a year could be handled at Tauranga's container terminal. This is great news for exporters because larger ships have better fuel efficiency and lower operating costs per container unit.
Port of Tauranga has been measured by the Australian Productivity Commission as the most efficient port in Australasia. It is the obvious choice to lead this country's ports in the investment required to handle the bigger container ships that will soon start to visit.
Finding itself in this enviable situation is no accident. For many years Tauranga has used its capital resources astutely to increase port volumes and efficiency – growing economic value for its shareholders in the process. Port of Tauranga has enjoyed spectacular success in achieving its return on capital objectives. It has delivered a 24% compounding return to shareholders over the last 10 years, compared to the 5.6% NZX Index average. In tandem, the Port has truely met its environmental responsibilities and the aspirations of the local community and its staff.
Interestingly, the mission statement of the Port of Tauranga states: "Leading through innovation and commitment". However, as US-based, Boston Consulting Group's global head of innovation, James P. Andrew says: "innovation without pay back, is just an invention, just an idea".
The Port of Tauranga has supported innovative capital investment by rigorous economic and financial analysis for at least a decade now. Capital improvements are assessed on length of pay back (as Andrew advises) and discounted cash flow modelling is constantly used to compare different project alternatives. CFO, Steven Gray says: "Profit and loss forecasts using measures such as NOPAT, EBIT and EBITDA are not enough. They cannot track the true costs of capital expenditure because they ignore the cost of shareholders' equity".
Managing port infrastructure investment is complex; many capital expenditure proposals must be ranked and evaluated. The winners must be picked from countless alternatives and many lemons.
For 10 years now Port of Tauranga has systemised this important task, making sure all investment proposals are evaluated on a consistent and objective basis – against the same hurdles. Corporate discipline on this point is uncompromising; board and management know well that overall return on capital is determined by the success of each individual investment proposal. Notwithstanding this, they recognise the importance of "must-do" capex (capital expenditure) – to meet environmental, staff safety, regulatory, and compliance objectives.
Steve Gray knew capital investment involves make-or-break decisions. So in 1999 he rejected ad hoc spreadsheet building as inconsistent, time wasting and error-prone. "Back then we implemented Capex® Stratagio™ software to save time and increases confidence levels. It guards against poor investment by alerting us when business cases have faults. We find that testing assumptions, evaluating alternatives and analysing true value are crucially important parts of the capital management process," he says.
As a well run business Port of Tauranga takes its capital expenditure process very seriously. "When deciding the best time to replace a piece of major plant – such as a pilot boat, for example, we make an assessment using Capex® Stratagio", said Steve.
Shareholders and lenders should be delighted Port of Tauranga manages its capital expenditure programs professionally, and refuses to allocate scarce capital resources on "gut feel" or egos. No doubt they will welcome Tauranga's expansion plans – knowing the port's history of delivering on its capital investments.
International evidence backs the Port's approach showing that good corporate governance achieves a triple win: attracting capital; increasing the share price, and reducing cost of capital. It is a powerful risk management safeguard for shareholders, a McKinsey and Co study of 200 institutional investors found. A stunning 75% of those surveyed said good governance practices (commitment to shareholder value, majority of independent directors and transparent reporting) were as important as financial performance when evaluating investments! Also it found that institutional investors are willing to pay a premium of as much as 20% for good governance.

Among the dozens of offshore companies that figure in the Panama Papers leaks is one incorporated in the Bahamas in the name of four relatives of disgraced Pakistani nuclear scientist AQ Khan at a time when his proliferation activities were at their peak.
Wahdat Limited was registered in the Bahamas on January 21, 1998 and its owners are listed as Abdul Quiyum Khan of Karachi, and Hendrina Khan, Dina Khan and Ayesha Khan of Islamabad.
Abdul Quiyum Khan is the elder brother of 80-year-old Khan. He died in Karachi after a prolonged illness in February 2010.
Hendrina is the South Africa-born Dutch woman who married Khan in 1964. Dina and Ayesha are their two daughters who were born when the couple lived in the Netherlands.
According to the database of papers from Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca, Wahdat Limited became inactive nearly two years after its incorporation. Its address is listed as ILS Fiduciaries, Milennium House, Victoria Road, Douglas, Isle of Man.
There has been speculation for long that Khan used a string of front companies and offshore firms to handle the millions of dollars he allegedly received as payment from countries such as Libya, Iran and North Korea for clandestine transfers of nuclear equipment and know-how.
Reports have also suggested that these front companies were used by Khan to move around the money that was given to him by the Pakistan government to procure components to be used in centrifuges and other gear that propelled the country's nuclear weapons programme.
Wahdat Limited was incorporated at a time when Khan was allegedly involved in proliferating nuclear technology to Iran and Libya. A lengthy expose by Time magazine in 2005 said a key member of Khan's network had told investigators that Iranian contacts had once dropped off two suitcases containing $3 million in cash in the scientist's apartment as a payment.
Khan also used Dubai gold dealers in the late 1990s to launder the profits from his network. According to the Pakistan government's admission, Khan travelled to Dubai 41 times from 1999.
According to reports, Khan never made much effort to hide his wealth. He reportedly acquired dozens of properties in the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan, and once invested in a hotel in Timbuktu that was named after his wife.
Hendrina, also known as Henny, reportedly played a key role in Khan's initial efforts to acquire nuclear know-how for Pakistan while he was studying metallurgical engineering in the Netherlands and Belgium in the early 1970s.
According to testimony in a Dutch court that gave Khan a four-year prison term in absentia in 1983 after convicting him for espionage, the scientist hastily left the Netherlands in 1975 when he realised officials had found out he was stealing centrifuge designs and technical literature from Urenco, the nuclear company he was working for.
Khan had Hendrina collect blueprints of the Dutch centrifuge technology and bring them back to Pakistan, according to the court testimony.
Since Khan confessed on Pakistan's state-run television about his clandestine proliferation ring in 2004, the government has refused to allow investigators from the US or the International Atomic Energy Agency to question him. Khan was placed under house arrest after confession.
The restrictions imposed on Khan by the government were eased from 2008 onwards and the scientist subsequently retracted his confession, saying he had acted on the orders of the military.

Life rolls on has always something that I have lived by, if you don't believe that things can ever get better in your life than they never will. I learned this from one of my favorite songs by Slightly Stoopid called Life rolls on. No matter how bad a situation is you can always rely on yourself to make you happy, you cant care so much about what people think about you because if you do then you would be living your life to the standards of others rather than doing what truthfully makes you happy in life.
One of the most important themes of A Separate Peace was the acceptance of growing up. Finny had a hard time accepting growing up but he always kinda went by Life rolls on. Reason I believe this is because he does whatever he wants and doesn't really care what others think of him, if he wants to do it then he will, not to entertain others but because he knows its the best for him and will make him happy.
We can connect this with our everyday lives. Something that brings you down happens everyday it can be something little or even something big, everyday cant be perfect. Whenever something brings you down just keep you head up and look at the positive things in life and and do what makes you happy. When I got my tattoo it was my decision, but I was afraid of what my family would think, once I realized that it will be on my body and makes me happy I didn't care what they think about me because in the end its my body and my life and im not going to live my entire life following the rules someone else has set out for me if you do that then your living your life to make others happy and not yourself.
In this movie Ferris acted like he was sick so he could do what he actually wanted which was spend the day outside cause who can ever stay in school when its beautiful outside. I love this movie because he does what makes him happy in life even though they're were consequences for skipping they didn't care because they wanted to live their life and do what makes them happy they didn't care about the principle trying to find them because in the end life rolls on.
In this book they proved that no matter what life will always move on. During this time lots of people experimented with LSD and it eventually become a movement where tons of people would get together to do LSD and all they experienced was love and peace they didn't care about the hate that was going on at the time they just cared about what they were going to do next in life.
My mom was the one who taught me to always look at the positive things in life rather than looking at the negatives. No matter whats going on you can make it better you just have to make the effort to make things better. My mom has always been a positive person and I look up to her for that, no matter how bad or insane im being shes still there for me and that's who taught me to always move on in life.
This painting describes Life rolls on to me because it looks kinda sad and dark behind her if you look closely, but in front of her is colorful blue mountains. This is describing moving on and to never look back at the past because in the end it doesn't matter what happened before you should always move on and try to make things better in your life.
This letter was Martin Luther King Jr. describing his dream of ending racism. I respect Martin Luther King Jr because he never gave up no matter how much trouble he is in. He does this because its what he believes in and if he cant fix the problem then he will die trying. This is life rolling on because he is in jail but still never gives up on his dreams.
In this book the conflict was that they were afraid that Julius Caesar would have too much power and use it for the worst reasons. So the Roman senators all plotted a plan to kill him so he so he doesn't destroy Rome for good. Im not saying this is good but the senators did what the believed was best for the country they wanted life to keep on going so they had to make a plan before it stopped for all of Rome.
In the book when Finny broke his leg he didn't let that stop him from being around sports, he helped Gene train and he wanted Gene to play sports so he could watch and it wouldn't be as bad as just being taken away from sports for his entire life. We can apply that to our lives by never letting something take you away from something you love no matter how bad a situation is you can always find a compromise.

Thank you CPhill. Here is my graph and yours
My equation is the one on top. You can see it goes up. Your goes sideways like it is suppose to.
These look like they are the same equation but it it wrong because I use capital letter Y instead of small y. I work on this for 2 hours and it drive me crazy and I not know it make a difference using capital and small letter until now. I thought I did check that but I only make the x small on the left side.
It is a good thing to know that Desmos sometimes not work right if you use capital letters.
Thank you again CPhill. Now I know I am not too dumb. hahaha
Actually, Dragonlance, I didn't know there would be any difference between the upper and lower case letters......I guess we both learned something....!!!!! [ Desmos is sometmes finicky...... ]
Thanks Dragonlance,
The interpretation that Desmos has made there is really weird!
It has interpreted the capital Y as a little x an the cpaital X as a little y. How very strange!
This conversation was continued from here

Featured Video: How To Make Vanilla Buttercream Frosting PLUS How To Decorate Cupcakes
Today is my parents 49th years wedding anniversary, one more year to the grand 50th wedding anniversary. To celebrate this special occasion, I made them Blueberry Cheesecake. My dad is not picky with food, but my mom is. She's very difficult to please and finding a dessert that she really like is very challenging. Good thing, this Blueberry Cheese Cake never failed to please here. She doesn't eat much like me, but she just cannot resist buying the whole 8-inch blueberry cheese cake. The one she normally buy is the refrigerator cheesecake. Although no bake is the quickest and easiest method to make cheesecake and no egg is needed, I had always preferred the baked cheesecake.
Baked cheesecake has more compact and dense texture. It has a more stable base, and it doesn't soften easily like the no bake cheesecake. I also find that baked is a better method especially when I want to bring the cheesecake for a group gathering. I wouldn't have to worry that the cake will collapsed when left hours outside the table. Aside from stability and texture, I like the taste of baked cheesecake because it doesn't feel like I am eating lump of whipped cream cheese. It is more solid and it taste better with the buttery taste of the graham crackers crumb base.
Cheesecake is not a diet food. So if you are concerned with calories, I would suggest stay away from it. But if you want to treat yourself, it's worth having a slice or maybe two. I made the small batch, this way I can enjoy it without being overwhelmed. It will be enough to satisfy my cravings without hating eating it at the end. Since it's a small batch, it is not as high and thick as most of the cheesecake. Although I find thick cheesecake beautiful and more elegant, I like mine thinner. I tend to enjoy it more because no matter how much I crave for cheesecake, I just cannot eat entire thick slice of this cake, it is so rich and creamy! But no worries if you want it big, I also have the big portion recipe here. Big or small, it's your call! Let's get started!
Small Batch (6-inch)
Blueberry Sauce (Canned blueberry sauce is also an option)
- 1 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon warm water
- 1 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 Tablespoons granulated sugar
Crust (Store-bought graham crackers crumb is also an option or you can make your own using my Homemade Graham Crackers biscuit)
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tbsp melted and cooled butter
- 2 tbsp granulated white sugar
Cream Cheese Filling:
- 8 ounce (1 box) full fat cream cheese, soften at room temperature
- 4 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 4 tbsp sour cream or greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Large egg, room temperature (If using Light cream cheese, make this 2 tbsp only)
Big Batch (9-inch)
Blueberry Sauce (Canned blueberry sauce is also an option)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon warm water
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
Crust (Store-bought graham crackers crumb is also an option or you can make your own using my Homemade Graham Crackers biscuit)
- 1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheet graham crackers)
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
Cream Cheese Filling:
- 24 ounces (3 boxes) full fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream (or yogurt), at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
Note: I used a combination of canned blueberry sauce and fresh blueberries to give more texture to the sauce and whole bits of blueberry.
- Prepare Blueberry Sauce (If not using canned sauce). This can be made ahead of time and refrigerate. I used canned sauce for this recipe.
- Adjust oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 6 or 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Make the Graham Cracker Crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl until combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan (I used 6-inch springform pan) and only slightly up the sides. The crust will be thick. Wrap aluminum foil on the bottom and tightly around the outside walls of the springform pan, as shown in photos above. Bake the crust for 7 minutes. Allow to slightly cool as you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together on medium speed in a large bowl – about 1 – 2 full minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla, beat until combined. On low-speed, add the egg. Do not overmix the filling after you have added the eggs.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
- Place the springform pan into a large roasting pan and place into the oven. Fill with about 1 inch of hot water. Make sure the pan is fully covered with foil and the end of the foil should reach the top edge of the pan. The foil wrapped around the pan will prevent water from leaking inside.
- Bake until the center is almost set. Avoid over baking the cheesecake. When the cheesecake is done, there will still be a 2 or 3 inch wobbly spot in the center; the texture will smooth out as it cools.
- For 9-inch pan, bake for 50-60 minutes or center is almost set
- For 6-inch pan, bake for 40 – 45 minutes or center is almost set
- Turn the oven off and open the door slightly. Let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight (preferred).
- Loosen the cheesecake from the rim of the pan and remove the rim. Cut into slices and serve chilled. Top with remaining chunky blueberry sauce, if desired. Cover leftover cheesecake and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

- Make ahead tip: You can easily freeze cheesecake for up to 2 months. It is advisable to not pour the sauce on top if you want to freeze it. Just make the base cheesecake and pour desired sauce when ready to serve. Cover tightly and freeze. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
- Use spring-form pan or pan that has a releasable bottom. If you do not have one, square or rectangular pan is better so that you can slice and lift it easily without ruining the cake.
- If you are wondering why the pan is wrapped in foil and cooked in water bath, this is for even baking and to avoid crack top.
- Do not open the oven until cooking time is done. Sudden drop in the temperature can cause the cheesecake top to crack.

GOALS Public Health is a global Open Entry journal devoted to publishing peer-reviewed, prime quality, authentic papers within the area of public health. We publish the following article varieties: authentic analysis articles, evaluations, editorials, letters, and conference reviews. Many people maintain in their emotions and refuse to speak them out, but they'll act out their feelings, which is a nasty thought. People which are hurt may sometimes act out with harm to other individuals. It is a good suggestion to speak with someone you belief to vent out feelings. As a result of holding in the emotions will make an individual's emotional health worse.

Organisation construction in line with the regional / location operate – Some organisations or companies are structured in a way that a specific service or product that they ship is provided in a specific area or division. For example consultants, solicitors, actual property agencies, property agents, oil firms etc. could have an area office or a national workplace or an international workplace. The business could also be structured in a manner that the head workplace is positioned in a specific place within the nation or internationally and the regional offices in a couple of major cities after which the sub divisions scattered regionally throughout the nation or across the world. All of the sub-divisions are related to relevant regional places of work which are then communicated from regional to go office.

Craftprint, Horwich, Bolton, has announced the installation of a new C6000 digital printing solution from Konica Minolta. The machine was installed and will be supported by Apex Digital Graphics, Hemel Hempstead and Leeds, a UK distributor for Konica Minolta and the official UK distributor for Ryobi offset printing presses.
The 33-year-old Horwich print business was an early adopter of digital printing and has already been involved in the technology for some 20 years. "Litho is still our dominant production technique, but digital is now responsible for at least 20% of our output, and that is still growing," said Andrew Tait, Managing Director of Craftprint.
The new C6000 replaces a similar Konica Minolta machine that had reached the end of its lease. "We had no concerns about staying with Konica Minolta equipment: it has worked very well for us. With Apex having announced its presence in to the digital colour market this year, it just made a lot of sense for us to move to them as our supplier." The company is running the Konica Minolta equipment alongside two Ryobi small offset machines and a DPX System platesetter.
Digital production at Craftprint focuses on a wide range of work including stationery, leaflets, newsletters, and handbooks. "Digital print equipment can produce almost anything these days," confirmed Andrew Tait. "It is now largely down to run-length. We find our digital pricing starts to become less competitive at around 2,000 copies, but then turnaround is the other factor to consider. Customers will pay something of a premium if they need the work urgently."
Accurate pricing is the key according to Andrew: an estimating system from Tharstern is employed at Craftprint. The company also worked with the BPIF to undertake a full costing analysis earlier this year to help ensure that it was working with true business costs. "Understanding the true costs in your business is essential," he confirmed. "It is a tremendous benefit to have somebody from outside of the company come in and undertake a very structured look at our cost and our pricing. We were, actually, very close to where we needed to be, but it is a great help to have that confirmed!"
Konica Minolta's C6000 creates extraordinary colour and monochrome printed images at up to 60 ppm. The product incorporates real-time image density and colour density control sensors for long-run stability, as well as high-speed scanning, digital colour printing, modular inline finishing capabilities and versatile Image Controller options to fit the demands of any production workflow. The device images at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution with 8-bit processing for smoother, more realistic images. High-performance Image Control options from Konica Minolta and Fiery are combined with Apex's own pre-press knowledge, colour know-how and technical support. Craftprint has added a bookletmaker output option for the fast and efficient creation of booklet style products.
Commenting on the installation at Craftprint, Neil Handforth, Sales and Marketing Director at Apex Digital Graphics, said: "We are delighted to be working with Andrew and the team at Craftprint. They understand digital print production and have significant experience in the market. The vote of confidence shown by the company in Konica Minolta equipment is yet more evidence that these machines are the right tools for print companies to employ. Great hardware coupled with a colour knowledge that experienced suppliers such as Apex can add creates an effective print solution."

Matt Bevan (@MBevs68)
So AIBA have finally managed to get their way and convince their delegates to vote in favour of giving pro boxers the opportunity of fighting for an Olympic gold medal at this year's Games in Rio.
It is another in a number of changes over recent years that have brought the two sports closer together. These other changes include the removal of head guards and computer scoring system, which are understandable, but this is a step too far.
Amateur boxing should be the clean face of boxing. Where the best do fight the best, culminating in some showdowns between potential future superstars with Olympic medals up for grabs.
Four years worth of hard work and sacrifice to even get to the Olympic Games in the first place and do yourself and your country proud. However, AIBA have decided that the principle of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" doesn't apply to them.
My first experiences as a boxing fan were watching the boxing at the Olympic Games and seeing how fast and frantic it was. It captured my attention and I loved it from the first time I watched it. I'm still a huge fan of the amateurs.
When the head guards were removed and computer scoring got rid of, I was prepared to give it a chance. The formation of the WSB and the APB, which does have some pro fighters in it, definitely caused some interest around boxing fans, especially when the Cuban's got involved with the WSB, but what about this most recent stunt?
For me this is just a way of getting some press and interest about amateur boxing. Let's change the goal posts and see if we can attract some big names to the Olympics for some real glitz and glamour so we can be talked about more than any other sport.
Well with just 10 weeks to go, I can't see many pro's dropping everything to go to a qualifier and try and get there, so this publicity stunt has promptly failed massively. It was a daft time to announce it was possible for a pro to qualify, so they're being very optimistic.
AIBA courted Manny Pacquiao throughout the World Championship's last year in Qatar, inviting him to the tournament and you can bet they'll be praying the Filipino legend decides to have a go. But let's be honest that's pretty unlikely.
The main difference between the two sports is obvious. The pro's fight for anything up to 12 rounds, whereas in the Olympics it's over three frenetic, intense rounds. So to ask a pro to return to the three round format is no easy task.
Their speed, reaction and timing would be off, whilst they would also be in bigger gloves. The assumption that the pros would wipe out the amateurs if they met is ridiculous because let's face it, some of the world's top amateurs are outstanding fighters now and good enough to beat a lot of professionals who are ranked near the top of the sanctioning bodies ratings.
Plus their is the difference in schedules. Pro's at the top level are used to long, gruelling training camps to get in shape and prepare for a single opponent. Amateurs have to compete in tournaments, where they may have a day off and fight the next up until the final stages where they are in every day.
Suffer a cut you may be ruled out, but as happened with Michael Conlan and Scott Fitzgerald in the Commonwealth Games in 2014, they were allowed to continue going, despite the risk of the first shot landing and causing the cut to re-open.
If a pro suffers a cut in sparring during camp, in particular in the latter stages of the camp, then they will withdraw from the fight. No such luck in the amateurs and there is definitely no chance to pick and choose your opponent, as well just a day to prepare.
It is potentially dangerous and disrespectful to all the fighters who have put everything on the line to try and achieve their Olympic dream. Their is an argument that the Olympics would be tarnished if a pro won the gold medal. I have to agree.
This publicity stunt will get it's first chance to see if any pro will take the opportunity to try and get to Rio in July, where the last qualifying tournament takes place in Venezuela with 26 places up for grabs.
That is the only chance a pro will get to qualify, whilst the amateurs, those that have competed in the WSB or APB will get another chance before. Team GB for example will only be looking to secure two more spots in the welterweight and light-welterweight divisions. To pick a pro over the likes of Pat McCormack or Josh Kelly would be ludicrous.
I don't see this causing any real ruptures as it is too late to really have a massive effect on this cycle of Olympic boxers. However it will be interesting to see what happens during the next cycle. If Dr Wu, the moronic President of AIBA, gets his way we will see the top pros against the top amateurs.
But for me that just signals the end of amateur boxing and puts everything under one umbrella as Wu wants. That can't happen as the amateurs and pros are two totally different sports, no matter what he thinks. With one decision he has pretty much wiped one out and gone against the spirit of the Olympics.

Can IBM win-over cautious customers with a 'hybrid' mainframe built to bond with virtualised PC servers? E&T reports.
The headline theme of IBM's newly-announced mainframe computer, the zEnterprise server, is effective use of the whole data centre under the rather ungainly buzzword 'heterogeneous virtualisation' however, the subtext was that the long-running issue of declining legacy skills has, IBM insists, been laid to rest.
ZEnterprise brings two enhancements designed to increase its appeal for server virtualisations. The box is a true hybrid, with the mainframe on one side of the cabinet, and 'expansion space' for server blades on the other (IBM products only). Software-wise, IBM has introduced its Universal Resource Manager as the 'glue' to bind the mainframe and x86 environments. IBM hopes that this adhensive combination will pull business away from rivals, having allayed customers' misgivings on the mainframe skills availability front.
By 'heterogeneous', IBM still means non-mainframe IBM systems such as its System X and POWER 7 lines, rather than those of competing vendors, especially rivals HP and Dell. That may come, but only if customers demand it, according to IBM, which is code for 'over my dead body'. The response is similar to the notion that the mainframe becomes host to Microsoft Windows-based applications so that it can compete with HP and others for virtualising desktops.
This is a logical move given that the mainframe has proved successful in attracting Linux business. One revealing statistic is that 95 per cent of IBM mainframes now run Linux workloads, and of these 5 per cent run only Linux and not IBM's z/OS, used as a marketing stick to counter HP's argument that the Z Series is only used as a support system for legacy applications, written in COBOL and other older programming languages.
The major counter to HP et al was not directly associated with the new hardware itself but with a series of announcements opening-up development of applications using CICS (Customer Information Control System), IBM's transaction server platform, responsible for over 90 per cent of the world's financial transactions and whose destiny is inseparable from the mainframe itself.
In April 2010, IBM announced CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Feature Packs for Dynamic Scripting, allowing scripting languages to be used for developing less-critical CICS applications. Core mainframe skills are still needed, however, for maintaining and enhancing frontline CICS applications, so IBM has been investing in its Academic System z Initiative in conjunction with universities, training companies, software partners, and major customers.
Mainframe futures
The fate of the mainframe rests more with the success of this initiative and opening up CICS than with the hardware. A survey in August 2009 commissioned by systems supplier Shoden found 72 per cent of financial institutions were concerned about how their mainframe applications will be run in a few years' time, with a similar report by software and services integrator CA showing even higher levels of concern.
IBM had agreed, at least implicitly, that there was some substance to these concerns by pushing so hard with its own skills academies, but while announcing the zEnterprise server in London, Tom Rosamilia, IBM's general manager for System z, insisted this issue had been resolved. While evidence that customers' fears have been allayed is still awaited, it is clear that the mainframe is not packing-up anytime soon and continues to be the first port of call for IBM's latest technological offerings.
Alongside the skills issue, IBM has become more aggressive pushing the mainframe as a way of reducing the ownership costs associated with proliferating populations of x86 servers, particularly those running Linux. IBM's new offering is more than just another mainframe, but a collection of tactical technologies and tactics designed in form and function to win back ground lost around the fringes of the 'big iron'.

Ballet was one of my frustrations when I was a child. I did not get the chance to enroll to a ballet class because my parents could not afford it. So , when I heard from our church that there will be a FREE Baby Ballet right after every Sunday Service, I immediately signed up for my daughter, Belle , who is 4 years old.
Belle and I were so excited as we went to Church the following Sunday. Finally, she is going to start her ballet dance lesson for free courtesy of our church's Dance Ministry. But she was so excited to proceed to the ballet class that she did not want to go anymore to Kids Church. I felt terrible and irritable with my daughter's actuation. I felt that my patience was put into the test! I scolded her and told her that if she will not attend Kids Church and worship Jesus first, then there will be no more ballet class for her. I firmly believe that even at a very tender age, they need to realize that they always have to prioritize God over everything. And so she cried and cried until I decided to leave her with Annie, my youngest son's nanny who was in Kids Church at that time looking after my son, Bonbon. So, I just left her there with Annie and Bonbon and she just finally stopped from crying the moment she lost sight of me. Amazing, right? Hahaha. Look how children act. Anyway, she managed to be happy there until the church service was finished.
Eagerly, she grabbed my hands after the service and went straight to the dance room. During the class, she can't help but to dance and dance even when her teacher was teaching them a technique. Her attention to learning is still so short. Maybe later on, as she grows, she will just acquire the listening skills so she can listen to her teacher for a longer span of time.
I know that this is just the start. I will help my daughter develop her talents for God's greater glory. I am so looking forward to seeing her on stage dancing for God and making more christian friends. Now that I resigned from my 8 to 5 work, I will have more time to witness all of the developments my children will undergo especially during their formative years.

It's not always easy to know when your appliances need repairing or replacing. But the last thing you want is to have your furnace break in the middle of a cold harsh winter day. If you've never noticed any problems coming from your furnace, it still pays to have it checked before the chill of the outside can disrupt your comfort inside. Following are some of the most common signs indicating you should have your furnace checked for repairs and maybe even a replacement:
- Age of your furnace. Based on extensive research by a number of federal and commercial entities, the average life of a residential furnace is between 16 and 20 years. If your furnace is approaching old age, do your replacement research before an emergency, so that you have time to make the right decision.
- Increased heating bill. An aging furnace becomes less efficient over the years. If yours is approaching old age, you may not get the amount of heat you need at the same time your gas and electric bills rise.
- Frequent repairs in the last few years. Furnaces break from time to time and need new parts to run properly. The older your furnace, the harder it may be to find the parts you need. Just like an older car, a furnace tends to break most often in its last couple of years.
- Unusual sounds coming from the furnace. You should never hear any bangs, rattles, or squealing noises coming from your furnace. Also, if the blower continually runs or blows less than warm air, check with a professional as soon as possible.
- The thermostat isn't responsive. Do you feel that some rooms are too cold while others are too hot? Or are you always trying to adjust your thermostat to make your home more comfortable? This is a sign that your furnace lacks the ability to properly distribute the air to keep you comfortable in your home.
- The flame of the burner is yellow instead of blue. Make sure the flame color in your furnace stays blue; otherwise a toxic carbon monoxide gas could be present.
When you need furnace repair in Chantilly, VA, or the surrounding areas, including Ashburn, Great Falls, and Vienna, contact Cool Factory Services. Visit the company website at CoolFactoryServices.com to find out more about our residential and commercial services.

The undersigned organizations are hereby joining forces to voice their common concerns regarding the rights and welfare of cab-horses.
Another summer has arrived and yet an issue which many animal rights organizations have been pushing forth for years has unfortunately not improved. Cab horses still remain without adequate shelter, in a way that they must spend a whole day in the scorching sun, without any form of shade.
Whilst welcoming that the Animal Welfare Directorate is taking some action over the welfare of cab horses, the undersigned organizations feel that the latest decision which calls for the covering of cab horses with a protective cloth is far from satisfactory and is surely not an ideal solution to ensure and safeguard in the long-term the well-being and welfare of cab horses.
The undersigned organizations sustain that; "Although the Animal Welfare Act puts the onus of the animal's well-being on the owner such that cab owners may face a fine for not complying with such an obligation, public authorities can and must also play a very important role to protect and safeguard the rights and welfare of these animals."
It is highly important that a permanent solution is implemented through the allocation of adequate shelters which have proper hygiene facilities including a clean water source. It is also important that the structures that are set up are spacious enough to accommodate both the horses and the cab so as to avoid situations where the horses still end up in the sun.
The organisations stated that; "It is truly shameful for Malta that whilst promoting cabs horses as a tourist attraction, it is at the same time also exhibiting the lack of animal rights and welfare that still exist in this island."
"As a result, we are kindly requesting that a concrete and permanent solution is found to address this issue of animal cruelty once and for all. We cannot understand why such a simple and straightforward decision is taking whole years to be adequately addressed and why year after year, the situation has still not improved. The latest decision to cover cab horses with some form of clothing is neither practical nor ideal, and it surely does not end this form of animal cruelty."
The organisations are Animal Rights Group, Moviment Graffitti, Island Sanctuary, Greenhouse, SOS Animals Malta, National Cat Society, International Animal Rescue, St Francis of Assisi Foundation, Street Cat Rescue, Stray Animal Support Group, Share Malta, Noah's Arc, Abandoned Animals Association, Cetfree, Alternattiva Demokratika Zaghzagh, Nature Trust, Ananda Marga, Centru Tbexbix, SPCA-Gozo, SPCA-Malta.

Sigh.. Back to the black cloud of doom.
People just don't think before they open their mouths. It hurts though.

Add flour, sugar, butter, vanilla and salt; beat ingredients until just mixed. Increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl. Divide dough in half. On floured pastry cloth, with lightly floured stockinette- covered rolling pin, roll one dough half 1/8-inch thick. With 2 1/4-inch fluted-edged cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds; with 1/2-inch round cutter, cut out centers from half of rounds. Reserve the dough scraps. Using a pancake turner, place rounds 1/2-inch apart on un- greased cookie sheets; bake at 375 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. With pancake turner, remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat cutting and baking with second half of dough, rerolling scraps. Prepare frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer, place all frosting ingredients (except food color) and beat at low speed for 2 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl and continue beating at high speed for 6 minutes. Divide frosting into thirds and tint with food color. On bottom side of cookie without a hole, spread teaspoonful of either green, pink or yellow frosting; top with a cookie with a hole in it to make a "sandwich." Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting. (Use any leftover frosting for graham crackers or cupcakes.) Yield: about 42 sandwich cookies.

Azaghal : Helvetin yhdeksän piiriä : Metal albums reviews
Azaghal : Helvetin yhdeksän piiriä, brief review
Band name: Azaghal
From the first track of this CD you can tell it is something special, amazing guitar and drum work and good harsh vocals await, I had been waiting for this CD for a long time, I was not dissapointed.
Track one is full on black metal but quite short, I guess in order to wet your appitite, and it does just that! Harsh vocals are superb!
The next track starts suddenlly with what sounds like a pained scream, leading into another with heavy guitar and drums, my only problem here is how hard it is to hear the bass. After these screams some melody comes into it playing in the background and giving it an edge.
Track three starts with a great bass line, soon being joined by drums then vocals and guitar, with many tempo changes, stops and starts this is a varied but none-the-less enjoyable track.
Track four starts very quikly and continues this way. A true onslaught which only slows for what sounds like a small guitar solo, however it is very soft compared to the rest, the song starts again though and continues with such momentum that you wonder how they an top it.
And with the arrival of trak five you find out how they can, very fast shrieking vocals alternate with harsh vocals and beautifull drum work to create a very memorable listen.
Track six rolls in with a nice little fill straight into fast, finger slashing guitar work and ear drum bursting vocals, (All in a good way of course), this track gets most of its power from a melody which acts as a counter melody to the fast, screaming black metal.
Track seven starts with what may be a synth intro, but soons screams into medium paced black metal, however soon the tempo rises as do the vocalists screams, one of the less enjoyable tracks, but still quite well placed.
The next track starts with almost the same synth part, it sinks into quite medium paced black metal again this time it stays at this pace only speeding up slightly for drum fills.
Now unfortunatly we come to the end of our journy, this tracks starts with a low sound like a war horn or many tubas, lightning an be heard striking then several samples play and the process repeats, and repeats again, then it goes silent the last track was simply samples, but it was haunting and fit the bill.
Overall although this album is relativly fast blak metal it manages to keep all songs sounding different and has much appeal, well recomended.

This small city lies where U.S. Route 20 leaves the Coast Range Mountains and enters the Willamette Valley. Corvallis is best known as the hometown of the sprawling Oregon State University campus, an institution of higher learning with extensive programs in agriculture, forestry, natural resources and ocean studies. The Hatfield Marine Science Center located next to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport is also an OSU facility. Outside of the university, the community has connected to the land through the establishment of extensive biking, walking, equestrian and hiking trails which wind their ways through the city and out into the farmland and wooded hills which surround it. Corvallis also lies at the intersection of the Willamette River and Marys River, two of the largest fresh water courses in the central part of the valley. The Willamette flows north past the city and becomes a major tributary to the Columbia River near Portland. The Marys River has its headwaters in the Coast Range Mountains to the west of Corvallis and becomes a tributary to the Willamette near the city's center.

Good morning and happy long weekend for some of us. I am on a not so happy hangover of the Seattle Seahawks losing the Playoff Game against the Atlanta Falcons here in Atlanta yesterday. But you know it's OK. We always have next year. It was still an amazing time. I got to hang out with some friends I haven't seen in several years and so that makes the loss all that better. To get my mind off of those things, I am reloading one of my favorite recipes, Puerto Rican Beef Lettuce Wraps, on the new and improved Paleo Food Critic website. Woo Hoo!!!!!!
This was definitely one of the easiest recipes I have made to date. It came over in my meal plan that I was getting from Urban Pl8 a while back. I am not sure if they still provide these meal plans. They moved into a different location and so I am not sure what options they have now. Check them out if you happen to have the chance.
This recipe does take a little prep time though…you have to chop a bunch of stuff but other than that it is just a one pan deal. I even made a little fancy sauce for the side. You don't really need it but I liked it..It gave a bit of extra punch and spice to the wrap. Who doesn't love a spicy sauce!
What you need for this Puerto Rican Beef Lettuce Wrap recipe is:
- 1 pound of grass fed ground beef
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup pimento stuffed green olives, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon of coriander
- 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
- 2 teaspoon of turmeric
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 head of romaine hearts
For the sauce:
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos
Dice up the onion, olives, red and yellow pepper. Get out your large sauté pan, add in a drizzle of olive oil, and brown the ground beef. Drain any extra liquid from the beef. Add in the onions, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, olives and chili sauce. Once you see the veggies have softened some, add in the spices…coriander, cumin, oregano, etc. Stir well.
For the sauce, I just mixed up the 1 tablespoon of each chili sauce, mustard and coconut aminos. It gave me enough sauce for a few wraps. If you like more mustard, than add that or just play with it to see what flavor you like but the 1:1 ratio was pretty good stuff.
Bust out the romaine hearts and wash them up a bit. I cut off the ends because they were super long. Just make them whatever size you like! I spooned some of the meat mixture into the lettuce and bam!!! There's a lettuce wrap! I topped it with some of my yummy sauce and it was quite delicious!!!
Overall, this is a pretty simple recipe. It makes a ton of filler so you can definitely make batches of the meat mixture. Just portion it out into some containers…I would say there is about 5 portions…and that is 2 cups per portion…. I brought them to work and they held up fine. Just make sure to wrap the lettuce in a separate baggie. After a couple of days though, I would just tear up the lettuce and made it like a taco salad instead and used the yummy sauce as a dressing. This Puerto rican Beef Lettuce Wrap is a total batchable recipe! I loved it!

- 1 tablespoon chili sauce for sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard for sauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos for sauce
- Dice up the onion, olives, red and yellow pepper.
- Get out your large sauté pan. Drizzle a tad of olive oil in the pan. Brown the ground beef. Drain any extra liquid from the beef.
- Add in the onions, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, olives and chili sauce.

You could also sub a ground turkey for the beef. Use any other type of lettuce as well or just make this as a salad. They are all great options!

When someone we love is under the weather, we definitely want to cheer them up. Studies have shown that receiving flowers has an instant effect on our well-being and happiness, making floral bouquets a perfect choice to send to someone who is ill. Whether your friend or family member is in the hospital or sick at home, choosing beautiful plants and flowers from Gordon Boswell Flowers is a guaranteed way to make them smile.
Which flowers are right to send? If your loved one is at home, virtually any florals are appropriate, but you may wish to ask the experts as to which blooms have the least scent. If someone is not feeling well, an overwhelming fragrance may be offensive, so stay away from highly aromatic flowers – instead, choose gerbera daisies, tulips or sunflowers. They are not only low fragrance but are cheerful and easy to care for. Continue reading

When we were young Jewish children growing up in the 1970's, there weren't any Hanukkah TV specials. We watched all the traditional Christmas animated shows like "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Frosty the Snowman." Back in those days, we didn't have DVRs. We didn't even have VCRs. When a show was on TV, you watched it. Since we only had four TV channels to choose from, holiday shows were on once for the entire year. There were no 24 hour long marathons of A Christmas Story or Elf. If Rudolph flew off in December 1977, you could kiss him goodbye until 1978. When the holiday specials were on, it was imperative to have your tiny, pre-teen ass glued to the seat in front of the TV. Perhaps if the shows had been on more than once a year, my mother in law would have been able to preview them to avoid a traumatic childhood experience that scarred my husband well into his adult years.
Unaware of the horror he was about to witness, the young version of Oregano sat down to watch "Frosty the Snowman," one of the few holiday cartoons that wasn't entirely Santa-centric. He happily watched the show until Frosty made the fateful decision to enter the greenhouse where he shortly thereafter dissolved into an amorphous puddle of water studded with the accessories he had been wearing.
Let's digress for a moment to consider the foolishness of a man whose entire existence is predicated on being frozen choosing to enter a greenhouse. While his altruistic motives to warm the cold, little girl who had followed him northward were admirable, Frosty should have exercised a bit of self-preservation and not stepped into the hot house with her. He knew he was being pursued by an evil magician trying to reclaim his magic hat. Deciding to step into a hot house even for just a minute while evil lurked close behind was not the wisest choice any right-minded snow person would make.
When all that was left on the screen was a puddle where the portly snowman had been, poor six-year-old Oregano began bawling uncontrollably. My horrified mother in law jumped up from the couch and did what any protective mother would do when her child was in distress. She dashed across the room and switched off the TV. Remember, this was back in the days before remote controls. If you wanted to turn off the TV to stop your child from viewing the atrocity of a beloved snowman liquefying before his eyes, you had to actually walk clear across the room to do so. The horror – how did we live like that?
She soothed a distraught Oregano then tucked his exhausted little body into bed. Thankfully, the nightmare of what he had witnessed did not haunt his dreams.
That was the last encounter my husband had with the animated version of Frosty until we were married and he was 26 years old. One night during December, "Frosty the Snowman" popped up on the TV screen as I was channel surfing. I left it on for a few minutes and Oregano looked up at me and said, "How can you watch this? It's horrible."
"Well, it's from 1969 so the animation leaves something to be desired compared to today, but it is nostalgic," I answered.
"I'm not talking about the animation. I can't believe they let this snowman just die. It's supposed to be a children's cartoon," he said angrily.
I looked at him like he was insane. I couldn't understand his reaction to such an innocuous cartoon. "What are you talking about? This is "Frosty the Snowman," not some horror show."
"I know. I watched this when I was a kid and it traumatized me. When he melted, I was upset and crying so hard, my mother had to turn off the TV to calm me down."
"You never watched it again after that?" I asked.
"No. She wouldn't let me watch it and, to be honest, I never had a desire to watch it again. Why would I? It's not exactly a fond memory," he replied.
I was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. "So you're telling me that in the past 20 years, you've never seen this entire cartoon. No one has discussed it with you and you don't know what happened to Frosty?"
"I already told you. No! He melted! That's how it ended," he was getting irritated with me.
"I think it might be time for some Frosty therapy. Let's watch the show together. If you start to cry, I promise I'll turn off the TV."
He reluctantly agreed mostly because that was the only TV we had in our apartment and I wasn't relinquishing the remote control.
As the show continued, I watched Oregano's reactions to it. Finally, near the end of the show, the dreaded scene appeared on the screen. The little girl wept into the puddle that was once Frosty while a montage of Frosty's happier, more frozen times flashed across the screen as Jimmy Durante was singing. Oregano glared at me.
"I don't understand how this is appropriate for kids." He was truly annoyed.
"Despite how pissed you are at me, you seem to be holding up rather well. Just hang in there a few more minutes and I think you'll feel better." I cajoled him.
Reluctantly, Oregano sat there and waited. Santa arrived on screen, threw open the door to the greenhouse and comforted the little girl weeping over the puddle. He reminded her that Frosty was made of Christmas snow which is, as we all know, more magical than everyday snow. At that moment, a cold north wind blew into the greenhouse. Frosty's puddle of magical, melted Christmas snow transformed him back into his more solid self. Without the hat though, he was lifeless. Santa threatened the evil magician with permanent banishment to the naughty list if he tried to take Frosty's hat again. As soon as the hat was placed on his refrozen head, Frosty returned to life, hopped into Santa's sleigh and they headed for the frigid safety of the North Pole.
As the final song played including the lyrics, "Don't you cry I'll be back on Christmas Day," Oregano turned to me with a look of utter shock and disbelief.
"Holy shit! He comes back to life?! Is this a different version than the one we watched in the 70's? I had no idea!"
"It's a Christmas miracle!" I exclaimed as I switched off the TV and headed to bed. My work here was done.
