Grocery shopping can be tricky, especially since there are so many labels with the words, "100% Whole Grain," "All Natural," "Fat-free" or other eye-catching advertising. It can also be difficult to get in and out of the store with exactly what you need when you have a little one (or two) in tow. With Keenan almost two years old (can you believe it?), he loves to help me grocery shop by picking the produce or other items and putting them into our cart. I call him my "Little Shopper Helper." It's a great teaching moment for him to learn about all of the healthy food we are putting into our cart. On another note, I find that it helps him eat his veggies (he is excited to try them), since he helped picked them out at the store (a nice bonus!).
Shopping wisely through label reading is one key to keeping your weight in check and staying fit. Labels can tell you a lot about a food and most importantly, identify if it is healthy. With so many processed foods on the market, it is crucial to look at the labels to see what you are putting into your body.
Below are some tips on what to look for when reading labels.
Serving Size: Always follow the serving size, as this will not only help to keep portions in check when you serve the food, but it can save you money. For example, how many of you follow the serving size on a box of cereal? Most people just dump the cereal into their bowl until it looks like a good amount. If you are guilty of this, you are probably consuming 2 – 2 ½ servings, which is almost triple the amount of calories and costing you more!
Total Calories: The total calories and serving size go hand-in-hand. You want to see how much bang for your calories you are getting. The greater the serving size for a low amount of calories, the better. But, in general, you want to look for products that have a low amount of calories, preferably less than 250 for any one food item per serving size.
Cholesterol: Cholesterol is made from animal products (anything that has a liver). The more you consume, the greater the chance it has to sticking to your arteries, thus increasing our cholesterol levels. Aim for 0 mg of cholesterol, but no more than 5 mg per serving.
Sodium: The daily recommended allotment for sodium is 2,300 mg (one teaspoon of salt), which is not very much. Sodium not only makes you retain water, but it can make it difficult to lose weight, not to mention increase cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Aim for less than 200 mg for any one food item per serving.
Fiber: The nutrition powerhouse. Fiber does wonders for many things: controlling blood sugar and cholesterol levels, in addition to keeping you regular. The more fiber you consume, the better. Aim for something that contains more than 4 grams.
Sugar: Sugar seems to be in almost every food product these days, whether it is "evaporated cane juice", high fructose corn syrup, plain sugar, cane sugar, etc. The recommended daily sugar allotment for a 1,600-calorie diet, for example, is 22 grams, so aim for less than 6 grams for any one food item per serving. Better yet, look for items with no added sugar.
Trans Fats: Trans fats are hydrogenated oils that are put into food as a preservative to have a longer shelf life. The fats only clog arteries and increase cholesterol levels. Look for foods without trans fats or partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredients.
Ingredients: Look at the ingredients: how many do you recognize? If you only recognize a couple and the rest are names you can't pronounce, move to the next food item; you probably don't want to put those chemicals/preservatives in your body.

Kind of an ode to slowing down our lives. By a writer who has to make his living writing fast. (Ah, the human situation!)
by David S. Simon
Okay here's the thing: I'm already in a hurry to finish this piece and I just started it. Wait. Am I done yet?
Let me slow things down, which is what this little exercise in gymnastic style ineffectuality is all about.
Observation/thought: One man's feeling is another man's flaw.
I come to that phrase thinking about Paul Simon who when he was like 5 months old probably already had the soul of a 200 year old Mah Jung playing Florida retiree named Saul—especially if Saul was a once upon a time poet/warrior who still writes.
I bring up Paul for a reason. Some singers (think The Beatles for example) by the age of 19 or 20 already have the kind of insight into the human soul condition that usually doesn't arrive to the shores of the average average person until they are well past the age of dead. And what's even more incredible is the way we change and mature—over and over again but their songs of insight stays exactly the same, while it magically continues to morph and fit our ever expanding consciousness like a well tailored Saville Row suit.
Being a creative guy (I'm hard driven, TV, feature, play writing and film directing kind of compulsive person) and at the age that I am as of yesterday, I have finally realized that a huge part of my condition which is amply represented by a museum exhibit's worth of neuroses and fears—all comes to one thing:
I am moving WAY too fast.
Even now. Right now. I'm thinking ahead, my thoughts racing like American Pharoh on Red Bull. I want to cry out: (Warning: baby boomer reference coming) "Jane! How do you stop this crazy thing??"

Since Seasons 1 and 2 of the series will be coming out on DVD on February 13, 2007, I will not be including summaries in these reviews for the rest of Season 2. If you're reading this review before you get the DVD set, you can read a short summary of the episode at http://ldloveszh.tripod.com/cnepis.html#tetris1
Misc. Tidbits (Friday, September 22, 2006, 4:53 PM - 4:55 PM)
The episode was written by Michael Maurer.
The episode originally aired on Saturday, October 13, 1990, as the sixth episode of Season 2 and the nineteenth episode of the series.
I first saw this episode on NBC, then on The Family Channel, and finally "Captain N & The Video Game Masters".
Interesting Notes (Friday, September 22, 2006, 4:55 PM - 5:52 PM; Sunday, September 24, 2006, 4:01 PM - 5:00 PM; Wednesday, September 27, 2006, 3:13 PM - 3:33 PM)
The title is white with quotes.
The episode's title comes from the "Star Trek" episode, "The Trouble With Tribbles".
Lana's father used to tell her stories about Tetris when she was a little girl.
Tetris is so far from the Palace of Power that it never joined the fight against Mother Brain.
Kevin's Zapper beams are blue in this episode.
Lana has an older brother named Lyle. She hasn't seen him in 2 years. He's a Keeper of the Sacred Square on Tetris. He left before King Charles was kidnapped by Mother Brain.
Kevin's weapons don't lose power in this episode.
The Palace of Power does not appear in this episode.
Great Lines (Wednesday, September 27, 2006, 12:24 PM - 2:48 PM)
Mother Brain: "I'd like to stay and chat, but eeevil calls."

Rant (Friday, September 22, 2006, 4:57 PM - 5:52 PM; Sunday, September 24, 2006, 9:30 AM - 9:59 AM, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM; Wednesday, September 27, 2006, 12:00 PM - 3:43 PM)
This episode was written by Michael Maurer, Jeffrey Scott's brother. It looks like Michael, like his brother, is a classic "Star Trek" fan, judging by this episode's title.
The other episode written by Michael Maurer that I've reviewed so far is "The Invasion of the Paper Pedalers". He chose a rather odd game to based an episode on. How well does he do this time?
This episode is...something else. I don't know how to describe it, so let's just start at the beginning.
The episode begins with King Hippo, Eggplant Wizard, and Mother Brain watching the N Team flying around in space in the Warp Wagon. How can Hippo pound Eggy's head into his body without killing him?
It turns out that the N Team is flying through a meteor field for fun. Why would anyone do this as a game?
Why would the steering wheel go out of control like that because of a pull?
The N Team crash-lands on the world of Tetris. Let me repeat that: the world of Tetris. The writer of this episode turned Tetris into a world. Tetris is a puzzle game with falling blocks. Other than the scenery in victory screens, that's all that there is to it. Turning Tetris into a world with a block-shaped humanoid population is the dumbest thing that's been done in this series yet. Whose idea was it? Jeffrey Scott told me that he believes the games were selected by DiC and/or Nintendo. Did the producers of the show make up the world of Tetris and tell Michael Maurer to write a script around it, or was Michael Maurer simply told "Write a Tetris episode", and he took it from there? Either way, it's retarded.
That said, it's clear that most of this episode has nothing to do with the actual game. If I come across any actual Tetris gameplay, I'll let you know.
The background music that plays after the N Team crashes is the title screen music from the Game Boy version of "Tetris". I wonder if it was a deliberate choice to use music from the Game Boy version or not. Maybe they did that, because Gameboy plays a prominent role in this episode?
What does Simon mean by having his cheeks "re-rosied"?
There are a lot of block-related jokes in this episode - from the names to vocabulary. It's slightly annoying.
Is Mayor Squaresly the mayor of all of Tetris or just that particular city. If the former, then the title of "Mayor" is odd. If the latter, then...does Tetris even have "cities", or is it just one large world government?
When the Keeper of the Calendar points at the days, yesterday and tomorrow (both holidays) as well as today (not a holiday) have writing on them. He should have pointed at an empty square for today.
Lana has a holiday named after her,...sort of. Yay.
It's nice to hear Lana give some background info on herself, but it doesn't make any sense that a world that the N Team flies near to play games in space would be so far from the Palace of Power that it never joined the fight against Mother Brain.
How can Tetris' economy function with so many holidays?
It's illogical for Tetris to have cars with square wheels and sharply-angled streets just to fit in.
The Sacred Square? Okay, so a mystical square object supposedly built the world of Tetris. Yeah.
How could Hippo and Eggy survive being distorted into square shapes?
Why would the Chamber of Tetris require a key to get out of it?
Lyle's face turns square-shaped when he walks into the door. Ha, ha. Furthermore, he's able to get it back to normal by pressing his nose. Sheesh.
We now hear music that I can find only in Nintendo Famicom version of "Tetris", which is a very odd source for this series. It's the title screen music. The music comes from an old Russian melody called "Korobeiniki".
In Cubies, we hear the "Get a Little Bit Crazy" song, which we hear in whole in "Having a Ball".
Why is Simon upset about his brick burger? Is it actually made out of a brick?
The Blockheads are introduced. Apparently, they're a popular rock band on Tetris. They also perform at Lana's ball in "Having a Ball". Which episode aired first will remain a mystery until the DVD set is released.
Anyway, I like their song, which I call "Block Party". It's this episode's featured song. It sounds like a parody of "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets, but another fan swears it's really a parody of another, similar song that was released in the same year. Can anybody tell me for sure?
Kevin and Lana dancing together is teh cute. =) Apparently, Kevin has successfully taught Lana how to dance. (See "How's Bayou".) I especially like how they stop moving their feet and just move their upper bodies.
Incidentally, I specifically recall seeing them dance on a small, black-and-white television set in my bedroom on NBC. I don't recall if it's the first time that I saw this episode, but it's a specific scene that I remember seeing in the NBC run.
In yet another similarity to "Having a Ball", King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard dance together in disguise. In this episode, though, Eggy is the woman. Perhaps Hippo's "But I'm leadin'" line is a reference to their discomfort at dancing together in "Having a Ball"?
Why are Kevin and Lana still dancing after the song ends - especially during a loud commotion?
How can Kevin's Zapper fire on its own in mid-air?
During one shot in Cubies, when Simon, Mega Man, Kid Icarus, and Duke abandon their table, the picture is blurry. I'm reviewing this episode from a VGM copy. I don't recall if the shot was like this on NBC and The Family Channel or not.
Okay, so Lana has an older brother named Lyle that we haven't heard of until now. It's unclear whether the rest of the N Team has heard of him / met him or not. Simon's surprise might simply be regarding Lyle's clumsiness.
Lana hasn't seen Lyle in 2 years, and he didn't know that their father is missing, which means that the King was kidnapped less than 2 years earlier. This fits with the information in "Having a Ball" that Lana's father gave her a birthday bash last year.
It's cute how Kid Icarus sets down a chair right behind Lyle right when Lyle goes to sit without looking. :P
Okay, we get another featured song, which I call "Now You're a Man". It's a parody of "Walk Like a Man" by The Four Seasons. Wow, we have 3 songs in one episode. That's never happened before. Come to think of it, we've never had 2 songs in one episode.
When Lyle is launched towards Simon, he sounds like Link. Does that mean that Jonathan Potts voiced Lyle?
Simon's eyes pop out of his head. Sheesh. More lame cartoon physics.
Why was Lana waiting outside of the store? Was she embarassed at seeing Lyle in his boxer shorts? She was tapping her left foot while waiting outside, so she might as well have gone in.
When Lyle kisses Lana's right hand, Lana's eyebrows are missing. I guess that sort of matches Lyle, who is without eyebrows throughout the episode.
How can Eggy eat a bomb that explodes inside himself and not die? He said the tomato bomb would turn the safe into chopped cabbage.
Kevin asking Lana, "Isn't that what you wanted?", is interesting. Does Lana not want to be the ruler of Videoland?
Three of the four shots in the scene in Lyle's bedroom (Lyle and Gameboy) are blurry. The only non-blurry shot is Gameboy by himself.
The entire world of Tetris will fall apart, just because the Sacred Square is removed? No wonder that the thing is locked up!
The shot in the next scene of Lana, Mega Man, Simon, Kid Icarus, Duke, and Kevin arriving is blurry as well.
In the shot of Lana and Kevin running after Mother Brain, Lana's pupils are missing. Freaky.
How does Kevin know that Tetris is doomed without the Sacred Square? If Lyle mentioned it in his apartment, then why didn't Gameboy know?
The shot of Mother Brain moving from behind is blurry as well.
When Kevin yells "Head's up, everybody!", his voice momentarily jumps to chipmunk pitch during "everybody". Is this in the actual episode or just on my copy?
Those green circles that come out of Mega Man's blaster look cool, but I don't recall seeing them in any other episode.
What's this "power dive" that Kevin mentions? He just speeds up and then jumps out of the hole in the wall. Heck, he didn't need to power dive at all. Duke ran at normal speed and made it through as well!
Of course, Kevin has enough power to pull the jump off. His power meter is at least almost (if not completely) full. :P
I wonder why Kevin presses the B button instead of the A button, though. In most games, you jump by pressing A. Not in "Tetris", though. Then again, you don't jump in "Tetris"...
When Kevin presses the B button, his Power Pad looks weird. It's way too big, and it's missing the Select and Start buttons (and maybe the cross-key, but that might just be my monitor).
Mayor Squaresly is overly enthusiastic in wanting to declare holidays. He forgot that today is All Squares Day. :P
Lana's offer for her and Lyle to rule Videoland together is nice but odd. How can two people rule something together? Who would outrank the other?
Also, since Lyle's "rightful place" is as ruler of Videoland, why did he earlier say "Glad you approve, sis", and why does Lana now offer Lyle joint rule of Videoland with her to get him to come back to the Palace of Power with her? Do both of them not know what "rightful place" means?
Lesson: You must believe in yourself before anyone else will (although that's not true).
If it wasn't for the game that this episode is based on, then this would be a pretty good episode. As it is, it's average. This is Michael Maurer's second "weird game choice" episode.
Suddenly learning that Lana has an older brother that took off 2 years ago without telling her is interesting, but Lana's reaction at suddenly seeing him again after so long is rather subdued, and we've had no indication in previous episodes that Lana's worried about her missing brother. Then again, we've had almost no indication that Lana's worried about her missing father either.
As for what to cut out, I can't think of any filler in this episode.
Overall, "The Trouble With Tetris" is an okay episode.
Usefulness ratings:
Kevin: 10 (zapping 3 ceiling blocks, zapping 2 falling blocks, zapping 3 falling blocks, zapping 1 falling block in the tunnel, knocking the Sacred Square away from Mother Brain)
Lana: 0
Simon: 0
Mega Man: 2 (zapping 2 falling blocks)
Kid Icarus: 2 (shooting 1 falling block, providing the tightrope)
Duke: 1 (getting Kevin's Zapper)
Gameboy: 2 (saving Lyle, flying Lyle to Mother Brain)
Kevin's high score deserves some explanation. Even though his zapping of the blocks is of questionable value (did it make any difference?), I added the points to be fair.
The running total usefulness ratings for this season so far are:
Kevin: 58 (7 episodes)
Lana: 11 (7 episodes)
Simon: 10 (7 episodes)
Mega Man: 16 (7 episodes)
Kid Icarus: 15 (7 episodes)
Duke: 7 (7 episodes)
Gameboy: 13 (7 episodes)
Lana is still ahead of Simon in this season's competition for the moment, but she's now been overtaken by Gameboy.
The running total usefulness ratings for the series so far are:
Kevin: 105 (20 episodes)
Lana: 20 (20 episodes)
Simon: 31 (20 episodes)
Mega Man: 33 (20 episodes)
Kid Icarus: 38 (20 episodes)
Duke: 21 (20 episodes)
Gameboy: 13 (7 episodes)
Kevin has passed the 100 points mark. Everyone else is nowhere close.
That's the end of my review of "The Trouble With Tetris". I have "The Big Game" listed for Saturday, October 20, 1990 (though a lot of my air dates might change when the DVD set comes out), so I'll review that next. See you all in my next review!

Letters to the Editor – July/August 2015Vitality Magazine July 1, 2015
Reader Searches for a Complementary Medicine Doctor
(Re: 'The Perils of Being a Patient' article by Helke Ferrie in June 2015 issue: https://tinyurl.com/nq8nhtx)
Hey Helke,
I wanted to let you know about a reader who called us to complain because she took the advice at the end of your 'Perils of Being a Patient' article, but hit a brick wall. At the end of your article, in the Resources section, it says: "Find a doctor: OMA Section for Complementary Medicine (https://www.oma.org). The reader said she phoned the OMA to ask about this section, and they angrily said that no such complementary section exists. Furthermore, it seems that they have received many phone calls in this regard.
~ Julia Woodford
Helke Ferrie responds:
The Ontario Medical Association used to have among its many specialty sections one devoted to complementary and alternative medicine. It was founded close to two decades ago by Dr. Linda Rapson, a pain and acupuncture specialist in Toronto. The CAM section now no longer exists, partly because much of what was then considered 'complementary' or 'alternative', and therefore heretical, is now often part of regular medical practice and is increasingly taught in medical schools, especially at McMaster University.
My feature, 'Sickness for Beginners', which appeared in the June 2015 issue of Vitality was originally published in this magazine some years ago and remains, in its essence, relevant today. It included that OMA Section on CAM. Today we have an excellent resource for readers looking for CAM-literate physicians in PRIM (People's Right to Integrative Medicine https://peoplesrim.org), of which I am a co-founder. (See also Vitality's March 2015 issue article 'Vanessa's Law', written by PRIM executive David Carmichael (https://tinyurl.com/q4ebl3v). The MDs listed in the resources are all covered by OHIP.
However, as most people know, OHIP does not cover everything in standard or alternative medicine, and never has. Hence, as CAM doctors do not offer a conveyor belt practice, they must charge for essential alternative tests and the time-consuming history-taking which are absolutely necessary. Appropriate standard tests, most of which are covered by OHIP, are routinely done by these doctors as well.
One of the great developments springing from that original OMA-CAM section is that so many doctors have, over time, now become willing to be known as CAM practitioners. When Dr. Rapson founded that OMA section, none were willing to be listed in print; access to all of these doctors was by word-of-mouth only. I know this only too well, as I referred hundreds of people to them over the years. Their well-founded fear of arbitrary prosecution by the medical regulatory body, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), was a mighty deterrent. CAM practices, supported by standard medical literature, court decisions (Brett 1993), and confirmed by positive patient outcomes, were routinely prosecuted (google 'Glasnost Report 2001'). The CPSO is still far from being current in its policies, but can no longer enforce an outdated status quo in the face of growing public demand for medicine that actually works. Nor can it ignore the flood of medical research revealing the ineffectiveness, tremendous harm, and the waste of public funds for which that status quo is responsible (see for example 'Overkill' by Dr. A. Gawande in The New Yorker, May 11, 2015: https://tinyurl.com/ozjr2qq).
Medicare, however, has not kept up with these developments; it still primarily funds expensive and harmful medicine. Browse the PRIM website and download the excellent brochure 'Safety First' edited by Dr. Robert Banner. Download for free from www.helkeferrie.com, my 'Dispatches from the War Zone of Environmental Health' (https://tinyurl.com/neufmf7), and 'Creative Outrage' (https://tinyurl.com/n5syjxw), which trace this history and provide additional resources.

Scientists Issue Health Warnings About Wireless Radiation
Dear Vitality:
Scientists are a fairly conservative group of individuals who tend to shy away from giving interviews, writing for the popular press, and becoming politically involved with anything that might resemble activism. Yet, just last month, 200 scientists from 40 countries signed a petition calling on the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), and on other world leaders to adopt more stringent regulations for wireless radiation, and to issue precautionary health warnings to the public. Specifically, they requested that:
1) children and pregnant women be protected;
2) guidelines and regulatory standards be strengthened;
3) manufacturers be encouraged to develop safer technology;
4) utilities responsible for the generation, transmission, distribution, and monitoring of electricity maintain adequate power quality and ensure proper electrical wiring to minimize harmful ground current;
5) the public be fully informed about the potential health risks from electromagnetic energy and taught harm reduction strategies;
6) medical professionals be educated about the biological effects of electromagnetic energy and be provided training on treatment of patients with electromagnetic sensitivity;
7) governments fund training and research on electromagnetic fields and health that is independent of industry, and mandate industry cooperation with researchers;
8) media disclose experts' financial relationships with industry when citing their opinions regarding health and safety aspects of EMF-emitting technologies; and
9) white-zones (radiation-free areas) be established.
Why did so many scientists, who do research in this field, sign this Appeal? Because our exposure to man-made radio frequency radiation from wireless technology is increasing exponentially; because a growing number of people are becoming ill with cancers, reproductive problems, and an illness called "electrohypersensitivity"; and because policy makers are ignoring the signs. If something is not done soon, we are headed for a health tsunami that will be much worse than the combined health effects of cigarettes, asbestos, and lead.
To date, 88 NGOs from 19 countries have signed a letter of support for this Appeal. Many of the NGOs are EMF advocacy groups and those advocating on behalf of children (https://www.iemfa.org).
Other groups wishing to support this Appeal can contact the President of The EMR Policy Institute in the U.S. at: email@example.com
Changing policy takes time. Until we have safer technologies and better guidelines, individuals have to take precautionary steps to minimize their exposure, and especially the exposure of children.
Magazines like Vitality, that deal with health, have a key role to play in bringing this information to their readers. Balanced reporting is important, but not with manufactured controversy that pits industry-paid spokespersons against scientists who are doing legitimate research in this field. Those scientists have spoken. It is now time for policy makers to act, and for the public to take exposure to radio frequency radiation from wireless devices seriously. Health is our greatest possession. Let's protect it.
~ Dr. Magda Havas, BSc, PhD, Trent University, Peterborough, ON, Canada, firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Havas is a signatory to the Appeal and is one of the scientists who helped draft the Appeal. For more information about the Appeal, visit emfscientist.org. Dr. Havas does research on the harmful effects of electrosmog and the beneficial effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields. Visit: www.magdahavas.com
MMR Vaccine Risks – The Debate Rages On
The April issue article, Measles Hysteria, written by Edda West (https://tinyurl.com/o7lzht2) is even worse than Helke Ferrie's piece, The Illusion of Vaccine Safety (https://tinyurl.com/ofccbwk). Just one example: "A large Ontario study found that one in 168 children ended up in the emergency room after MMR vaccination. Several children died during the three year study period." Nothing in that study mentioned the cause of death for those children, but Edda West attempts to connect those deaths to the MMR vaccine. There are many more shortcomings in that article.
I do feel that both authors are misleading readers and that your magazine is doing a disservice by publishing their opinions.
As regards the Kennedy book, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a lawyer with no education or credentials in the area of medicine, immunology, chemistry, or microbiology. My scepticism for his stance on vaccines has now turned into disdain because he had the insensitivity to compare immunization to a holocaust.
Margaret Krutow, Toronto
Edda West responds:
Regarding the large Canadian study that found that 1 in 168 children ended up in emergency rooms after MMR vaccination, and that several children died during the study period, Ms. Krutow should direct her question to the authors who chose a study design that specifically allowed them to discount fewer than six deaths if they occurred during the study period.
I'd advise Ms. Krutow to contact Dr. Kumanan Wilson, lead author, and put the following questions to him:
• How soon after being injected with MMR vaccine did the children die?
• Did they have any underlying medical disorders that put them at higher risk from vaccination?
• Were they seen in ER and/or admitted to hospital with an adverse reaction prior to their death?
• Were autopsies performed to determine cause of death?
Answers to these basic questions should have been disclosed in the study. But again, the authors chose a study design that allowed them to discount these deaths. By excluding vital information about these children's deaths, the authors contribute to the sense of mistrust that a growing segment of Canadians have about the safety of the burgeoning vaccine schedule imposed on children today.
Furthermore, deaths following MMR vaccine and other vaccines are real, and are recognized by the medical industry, which is why the U.S. has a vaccine injury compensation system which to date has awarded more than $2.9 billion for disability and death: https://tinyurl.com/o7ztq37. This quarterly report from the U.S. Department of Justice provides insight into the range of vaccine-associated injuries (including death) that are being compensated in that country: https://tinyurl.com/o8slc7a
With the exception of the province of Quebec, Canada has no such vaccine injury compensation system.
A MedAlerts search of VAERS (U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events System) revealed that over the last ten years, over 100 people have died following receipt of measles-containing vaccines (https://tinyurl.com/mx64y5g) In the same time period, none have died of measles infection itself.
The National Vaccine Information Center in the U.S. provides a comparative analysis of the risks associated with measles and measles-containing vaccines. They report that "There have also been 329 deaths reported to VAERS in association with the MMR vaccine. However, the numbers of vaccine-related injuries and deaths reported to VAERS may not reflect the true number of serious health problems that develop after MMR vaccination." Ms. Krutow can read more here: https://tinyurl.com/o7y9yjh
Ms. Krutow might also want to look at our recent Report on the state of vaccine adverse events reporting in Canada. Our investigative report found that vaccine adverse reaction data is largely inaccessible to the public. We can only surmise that this is because the government really doesn't want people to know that, on average, there are over 4,000 vaccine adverse events reported to the (inexplicably dual) Canadian reporting system. She can read our detailed report here: https://tinyurl.com/paw458q
Unfortunately Canadians cannot search the CAEFISS database, the main repository of vaccine reaction reports held behind closed doors by the Public Health Agency of Canada, to determine how many people have suffered adverse reactions, or have died following vaccination. This data is hidden from the public and is only available through an Access to Information request. Ms. Krutow might be inspired to undertake such a project to determine for herself the reality of injuries and death following vaccination.
I also recommend she read this informative article about vaccine safety by Jamie Decoff-Jones, MD: https://tinyurl.com/nslywrz
Best wishes,
Edda West,
Dear Vitality,
Thank you for a great issue again. Regarding the Measles Hysteria article in your April 2015 issue, Edda West can't be thanked enough for this extremely important piece of knowledge. We need to stand up and sound the alarm.
In Australia, the government punishes the parents of young children when they refuse to let their precious little ones get vaccinated: those "criminals" are excluded from governmental benefits, whatever that is. And the best way for the government to get rid of the old people might be: get your shot or you won't get your pension anymore.
We live in an evil world and, if we do not warn the 'sheeple' who cannot run fast enough to get their free shot, then there is no future anymore for those who come after us. I'm doing my part as best I can. Having a daughter who was a vaccine victim too, from the cradle to high school, was the last straw.
H. Ruthard, Lisle, ON

Release Date: Mar 13, 2012
Record label: Sony Legacy
Genre(s): Pop/Rock
Arriving hot on the heels of 2010's highly conceptual Hang Cool Teddy Bear, Hell in a Handbasket feels like an intimate affair but that assessment is relative. Coming from any other artist, Hell in a Handbasket would sound overblown but for Meat Loaf, it's relatively reflective, containing thunder in its production but lacking melodrama in its composition. Despite the strategic deployment of "hell" in its title, this album has nothing to do with the three previous Bat Out of Hell albums, including 2006's Jim Steinman-less The Monster Is Loose, but it has Meat Loaf's signature everything-plus-two-kitchen-sinks approach, sometimes stretching past the point of parody as when he brings in his fellow Celebrity Apprentice contestants John Rich, Lil Jon, and Mark McGrath in for the nonsensical cluster-duet "Stand in the Storm.
Described by Meat Loaf as "the most honest album I've ever made," Hell in a Handbasket finds him in angry mood, with the usual wolves howling, cannons firing and enough vocal hurricane to tear plants from the back garden. No change there, although there are fiddles, raps and harder rock than usual. The rousing opener, All of Me, rages at his own insecurities and the world in general.
Meat Loaf is not, traditionally, known for his subtlety. Old habits die hard and bombast is still the order of the day now that Michael Lee Aday is 12 albums into his career. And yet, the somewhat grim title and cover of Hell in a Handbasket mask a record which in many ways is a great deal less extreme than usual. Perhaps mellowing a little at the age of 64, Meat has had his cadre of songwriters and collaborators work with him on a record which incorporates more acoustic instruments, more reflective lyrics, and even a cover of the less than explosive classic "California Dreamin'".
When you decide to listen to a Meat Loaf album, you have a pretty good idea about what you'll hear: the musical equivalent of the emotion surrounding a Braveheart battle scene, the schmaltz of a Vegas floor show, and the power of an oil tanker explosion all combined together in the vocal chords of a single large man. It's either something you pump your fist for or something you avoid and dismiss as kitschy. No matter which side you're on, you can't deny the power of Meat Loaf's voice or his rightful place as King of the Anthems.
A political statement? From Meat Loaf? Well, yes. And no. But mostly no. Paul Whitelaw 2012 If we are to assume that Meat Loaf, who doesn't author his own material, has some influence over the conceptual weave of his albums, then we must also assume that his writers were commissioned to write songs reflecting not only his personal malaise, but also his anger at the madness of the modern world.

I want to get tablet for me, but I can't choose which one would be better for me. I will need it mostly for studying, email and working with documents. I love apple products but I was thinking to change for Surface to try, so I need advice and professional opinion which one would be better for me. Thank you.

Plastic Logic creates Enterprise class infrastructure to launch electronic reading phenomenon
Plastic Logic's advances in plastic electronics are resulting in the world's thinnest, lightest, largest and most robust plastic displays and its new eReader product has been applauded as one of the most significant recent developments in the printed electronics industry.
Measuring 8.5 inches by 11 inches, the Plastic Logic eReader is a big readable display that is thinner than a pad of paper and lighter than many business periodicals. Magazine and newspaper articles, books or business documents can be loaded onto it, either directly from your computer or wirelessly and a wide range of business formats are supported, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Adobe PDF.
The challenge
Plastic Logic carried out the research and development work at its original premises in Cambridge, UK but when eReader needed to go into manufacture it was decided to develop a commercial-scale plastic electronics facility on a brown field site in Dresden, Germany. The IT had to support a comprehensive Management Enterprise System (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System. Replication of critical data was also vital so it was decided to build identical infrastructures both at Dresden and in a new Cambridge datacentre.
To achieve this, Plastic Logic needed a partner with a pedigree in designing and creating Enterprise class infrastructures and networks. Following a tender process, the choice was telent.
The solution
We chose telent over the others because theirs was the most professional response. Also, they were the only company that really understood what we wanted to do in terms of the hardware solution and our need to ensure that redundancy was built in," explains Ben Adderley, Global IT Infrastructure and Operations Manager for Plastic Logic.
"It was also useful that telent is a Professional Services Partner with Hewlett-Packard because that meant they could design and install a full solution rather than just selling us the boxes. Working with telent is a much more rounded and meaningful relationship and their ability to offer that totally comprehensive service is a major strength."
Once the requirements were scoped and deadlines set, telent designed then oversaw implementation of the crucial platforms, first in Cambridge and then in Dresden. A significant challenge was to create the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) based Verizon Wide Area Network (WAN) links that would support essential data replication for disaster recovery between the two distant sites.
Each platform is composed of an HP Storage Area Network (SAN) with HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays (EVA) and HP ProLiant DL385 and DL585 servers. Backup is done on HP StorageWorks MSL tape libraries. Using HP Continuous Access software, data is replicated between the two sites with Oracle ERP data held in Cambridge being replicated to Dresden and MES data held in Dresden being replicated to Cambridge. VMware has also been used for extensive virtualisation of the server landscape, enabling Plastic Logic to reduce its physical platform down to a handful of servers while still deploying an enterprise environment at greatly reduced cost.
The results
Since the main implementations, telent has also given Plastic Logic remote help to install a virtualised platform at its US headquarters.
"Both the design and the infrastructure are working well and we have absolutely no complaints," says Adderley. "The job that telent engineers do is extremely professional. You can tell the difference between a company that provides a fully rounded service and one that just puts infrastructure in.
"Since we are a comparatively new company that is poised for rapid growth, we needed an infrastructure to support that growth. That is what telent has created for us and their enterprise-level IT systems will give us essential support for the future."

Sweet potato pot de creme.
On my quest for new holiday-friendly staple recipes, I decided that I wanted to use some of the beautiful sweet potatoes I bought at the market in a dessert … other than a pie. This simple little recipe with a posh-sounding name is a nice, make-ahead dessert for a Thanksgiving dinner or autumn party.
Sweet Potato Pot de Creme
Meanwhile, beat together the remaining ingredients until well combined, either in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer.
Temper the egg mixture by slowly drizzling in 1/3 c. of the hot cream while continuing to beat the mixture. Beat for another minute before slowly beating in the remainder of the cream.
Place eight ramekins (or small baking vessels) into a baking dish, and fill each 3/4 full with the sweet potato and cream based. Fill the baking dish with water, being careful not to splash any into the ramekins so that the water comes about 2/3 up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake, covered with a piece of foil, for 40 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely before refrigerating, at least four hours (or until thoroughly chilled and well set). Serve with more fresh nutmeg grated on top.
Serves 8.
Stuffed pumpkin for a party.
It's hard to believe that the holiday season will be here soon. Already I'm plotting out Thanksgiving appetizers and I have a notebook dedicated to my annual Christmas dinner party. Over the years, I've tried to find healthy, locally-sourced alternatives to the traditional "we have to have these things every year or it's just not the same" dishes, and have always come up a little short, because there's just no substitution for nostalgia and sense memory. A pumpkin pie made with condensed milk may not be the most objectively delicious thing in the world, but if it tastes like home and happy memories to you, we can't really replace that, even with a sorghum sweetened, heirloom pumpkin version, can we? (Recipe forthcoming anyway.)
So instead of trying to find substitutes for my friends and family's long-loved holiday treats, this year I'm putting my efforts into creating new favorites. An early contender for my Thanksgiving table is this stuffed pumpkin: filled with local treats and baked whole, this has a high presentation pay-off despite being very simple to prepare.
While I wrote this recipe intending it to be served alongside turkey at a holiday meal, it would also work well as a vegan main course if you omit the sausage. Similarly, the sourdough I've used below can be replaced with a gluten-free bread to make it more allergen-friendly.
Whole Stuffed Pumpkin
Begin by frying the salami in a large skillet over low heat. You want the meat to warm slowly so that it releases fat into the pan, rather than searing.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Toast the bread until it's very dried out and just beginning to get golden on a few edges.
Prepare the pumpkin to be stuffed by cutting a hole in the top of the pumpkin, about 2/3 the diameter of the squash. Remove the seeds and stringy pumpkin innards with a spoon. Take your time and be a bit of a perfectionist about this step–it will pay off later. Reserve the seeds, if you like, to toast for a snack later.
When the salami is hot and beginning to crisp, add the onions, garlic and rosemary to the pan and cook for about two minutes or until the onions are just beginning to soften. Mix in the paprika, salt and cinnamon, and transfer to a large bowl to combine with the toasted bread, chestnuts and muscadines. Fold the mixture together gently.
Fill the pumpkin with the stuffing, pressing gently with the back of the spoon to make it all fit. (If you find that this is not working, add a little broth as you go, so that it condenses.)
Rub the skin of the pumpkin with a little cooking oil and replace the "lid", then wrap in two layers of foil, place on a baking sheet and roast for 1 hour. Check the pumpkin at this time, and remove the top of the pumpkin to allow moisture to evaporate. Continue to roast as long as it takes for the squash to be cooked through–soft enough to eat with a fork, but not yet losing its shape (another 20 minutes or so, depending on your oven).
Slice in wedges (I did this according to the grooves along the outside of the pumpkin) and serve.
Serves 8 as a hearty side dish, or 4 very generously as a main course.
Vegan butternut waffles.
Keeping with the theme of cozy breakfast recipes, here's a simple one for waffles that you can make for your morning meal or dessert.
Roast the butternut squash, and remove the seeds and skin. (My favorite way to do this is to roast the squash whole in the oven at 350 for approximately an hour, or until soft, then slice in half, scoop out the seeds, and peel off the skin.)
Mash the squash, and mix in the flour, baking powder and spices. The batter should be the consistency of thick pancake batter–add more flour if needed.
Brush your waffle iron with coconut oil and cook the waffles until they are crispy around the edges.
Serve with a scoop of almond butter, OR …
Dessert waffles
Toast the finished waffles on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until they get a bit crispy all over. Drizzle with honey and eat like a big cookie, or top with a scoop of ice cream (homemade, if possible!) and fold the waffle in half for a treat.
Makes 8 small or 4 big, satisfying waffles.

Gregory J. Martin and Josh McCrain (Emory): Local News and National Politics. Local news is shrinking from the Sinclair Effect. From the Baffler, all politics is local: Sinclair News conquers America for Trump, one living room at a time. Helaine Olen on why Trump's support for Sinclair Broadcasting is so concerning. Erik Wemple on the real problem with Sinclair's "fake" news script. The real problem with Sinclair: They have a right to their conservative opinions — but media consolidation and one-size-fits-all content damages the discourse in communities nationwide. Public shaming won't stop Sinclair: The local-news broadcaster has ignited public outrage by making its journalists rail against "fake news" — its viewers won't care (and more).
Thread: "The solution to #Sinclair is not a consumer-driven boycott but federal regulation and breaking up media monopolies. Which will require politics and winning".

In this article, you will learn how to explain radio button binding in MVVM - WPF.
Today, I will explain to you about binding the radio button in WPF, using MVVM pattern. In my previous article, you learned about combo box binding in WPF using MVVM pattern. Before we start, I want to ask have you ever gone through the concept of INotifyPropertyChanged and ICommand interface? It's the most important part of the MVVM pattern, so if you have any confusion regarding both these interfaces, please read my previous article, whose links are given below.
We will make one example in which we display four radio buttons and one text box. When the user selects any radio button, we have to display this radio button content in text box, so lets start.
Thanks for reading my article. If you have any confusion, type it in the comment section.

Whilst as a company you want to make it as easy as possible for customers to purchase from your website, you must also ensure that adequate security is in place to deter fraudulent transactions.
Here, we are taking you through the top reasons why your e-commerce site needs to implement identity verification.
1] A Rise In Online Fraud
Did you know that card-not-present fraud costs have risen massively in the past few years and it was predicted that by 2018 losses were expected to reach a massive $6.4 billion.
This is a serious ongoing threat that needs to be combated and so it is now more important than ever for your e-commerce business to ensure that you are verifying customer identities. Otherwise you could face consequences and costs of chargebacks which result from fraudulent transactions.
2] Reduction In Shipping Errors
What is fantastic about using identity verification is that it can help to reduce shipping errors. This system will help to make your shipping operation more efficient and accurate as it can verify the customer's shipping address and will eliminate the problem of sending orders to the wrong place.
This is not something that any business wants as it can quickly lead to delays and very angry customers.
3] Follow Compliance Requirements
Identity verification software can help you to implement any compliance requirements that you need to follow. This could be verifying the age of your customers or simply complying with other regulations and will help you to prevent any potential lawsuits.
The service Cognito can even verify the age of your customers if you are selling age-restricted goods or content and it will ensure that your customers are old enough to do business with you.
4] Make Ordering Online Easy
Shopping cart abandonment is something that every business must take seriously and try to overcome if they want their business to succeed and profit. While there can be a whole of reasons why people leave their shopping cart without buying, one of the main ones that comes up time and time again is that the system is too long or confusing.
If your customers have to input the same information multiple times, then they are far more likely to give up or not put in their information correctly.
When you use ID verification technology, your customers will have the chance to scan information straight into the system which will give you far quicker transactions. This will save your customers time and increase your sales.
5] Increase Mobile Transaction Safety
More and more customers are using their mobile phones to make online purchases and so they must be protected too. With ID verification, you won't have to have lots of unnecessary typing and you can accurately identify your users.

Exercise Cobra Gold 2014 commences
Exercise Cobra Gold 2014 commences
PHITSANULOK, THAILAND -- Dignitaries from the Royal Kingdom of Thailand, U.S. and numerous partner nations attended an opening ceremony held Feb. 11 to mark the official start of Exercise Cobra Gold 2014 at Camp Akatosorot in Phitsanulok province, Kingdom of Thailand.
Cobra Gold, in its 33rd iteration, is a Thai-U.S. co-sponsored multinational, joint theater security cooperation exercise conducted annually in the Kingdom of Thailand.
The exercise will improve the capability to plan and conduct combined-joint operations, build relationships between partner nations, and improve interoperability across the range of military operations.
"Cobra Gold is not only an annual multilateral exercise, but also a key event for coordinating and strengthening friendships among the participating and coordinating nations," said Royal Thai Army Maj. Gen. Wittaya Wachirakul, the director of the exercise planning office, directorate of joint operations, currently serving as the deputy director of CG14.
"The main purpose of this exercise is to provide open opportunity to develop military relationships and a training ground for joint and combined training exercises."
The exercise demonstrates the U.S. and the Kingdom of Thailand's commitment to the long-standing alliance and regional partnership, prosperity and security in the Asia-Pacific region.
"This year, we again see why Cobra Gold is the world's largest, and I would say most successful, multilateral military exercise," said Kristie Kenney, the U.S. ambassador to Thailand. "These exercises mean a great deal to our nations. It means we learn to work together, we practice and drill together. And when our services are needed to act together, we can do so."
Full participating nations include the Kingdom of Thailand, U.S., Singapore, Japan, Republic of Korea, Indonesia and Malaysia. The People's Republic of China, an observer-plus nation, will participate for the first time in a Cobra Gold iteration with a humanitarian civic assistance team.
"Thailand is the United States' oldest ally (in the Pacific)," said Navy Adm. Samuel J. Locklear, commander, U.S. Pacific Command. "We are entering into the 181st year of this alliance. We have expanded our regional partnership to focus on challenges that include disaster relief and other global security contributions. Events like Cobra Gold allow us to work together multilaterally to exercise those commitments."
The exercise is designed to advance regional security by exercising a robust multinational force from nations sharing common goals and security commitments in the Asia-Pacific region.
"Cobra Gold is one of the greatest (points of) pride for the Royal Thai Armed Forces," said Royal Thai Navy Adm. Amorntep Na Bangchang, the deputy chief of defense forces for Thailand. "This exercise has been with us for more than 33 years. It truly is 33 years of success, close relationships, mutual understanding and great cooperation."
CG 14 includes a command post exercise, a senior leader seminar, humanitarian civic assistance projects, engineering civic assistance projects, cooperative health engagement events, a medical symposium and a combined live-fire field training exercise.
"Cobra Gold truly replicates the dynamic security environment we find ourselves in today and will face in the future," said Locklear.

Go to the internet at any time and you will be able to source an independent narrative on all metalworking processes being utilized by engineering workshops across the world. These days, whilst efficiencies of purpose still need to be retained, it is possible for an industrial client on one side of the globe to receive his ordered components from a manufacturing center in another area of the world within days of ordering the work.
This is not unique to the engineering world. Nevertheless, the information on metalworking processes and its timelines, can be assessed independently and without any promotional bent, thus allowing the factory owner to make accurate decisions on what manufacturing or processing routes he should like to follow. One of the myriad metalworking processes being exercised regularly is that of metal injection molding.
For ease of reference, this process can be abbreviated to MIM. This is a metalworking process in which finely powdered metal will be mixed with binding materials to create what is known as the feedstock. It will then be shaped and solidified by using the process of injection molding. This is a process that allows for high volumes. Complex parts can be shaped by using just one step.
After molding work is completed, the manufactured part will undergo a stage of conditioning. This is required in order to remove the binding materials and to densify the intact powders. This process is known as de-binding. All finished products developed through metal injection molding can be applied to numerous applications and industries. The metal injection molding action is scientifically influenced by rheology.
This is the study of 'sludges, suspensions and non-Newtonian fluids'. Because of equipments' own limitations, only quantities of one hundred grams will be applied to a mold at any one time.

Meals Shopping For Improved Wellness
I sold mattresses until recently for fivish years before deciding to move onto a lifelong dream. This is a retailer-by-retailer thing that cannot be predetermined very nicely – though clients can do issues like visit mattress shops' web sites to get information about what they sell; and you should use on-line customer feedback assets reminiscent of Yelp or Google.
Using aggregators like and Yahoo Shopping is one other good way to make sure your service provider does not take you for a fraudulent sleigh ride. Again, the purpose of this article is to fill you in on the biggest superstar shopping secret and why it's best to observe go well with. Certainly, it makes each flooring of the mall distinctive, and thus simpler for the visitor to find his method round. Many people want going to shopping malls as a substitute of going for a stroll in a park or going to the fitness center. Then, as I started to learn, the corners of my lips started to show up and a giggle sprang forth as I learn bulleted each merchandise on the shopping record. The time ought to correlate to what number of objects are on the checklist and the issue level of obtaining those gadgets.
WIth the partnership occurring between a banking institution and supermarkets, like BDO (Banco de Oro) and SM City, you'll by no means worry of paying too much on your shopping. As for Thailand, even though I've only been there on holidays, I've most likely spent extra time in these Thai shopping malls prior to now few years than I have in my very own local English malls! These 'extras' can add up rapidly, so ensure you embrace them when comparability shopping.

Archriss' "Ville d'Aix-en-Provence" app
This app is available on Android and iOS. It uses version 3.2.0 of the plugin, with
FlatList's implementation and parallax images.
Archriss' showcase app
You can try the app live on Android and iOS. It currently uses version 1.4.0 of the plugin. Be aware that sliders' layouts will break on RTL devices since support was added in version 2.1.0 (see #38).
Please note that we do not plan on Open-Sourcing the code of our showcase app. Still, we've put together an examplefor you to play with, and you can find some insight about our map implementation in this comment. The folks at codedaily.io have created a great tutorial about implementing a similar feature. Go check it out!
$ npm install --save react-native-snap-carousel
import Carousel from 'react-native-snap-carousel';
export class MyCarousel extends Component {
_renderItem ({item, index}) {
return (
<View style={styles.slide}>
<Text style={styles.title}>{ item.title }</Text>
render () {
return (
ref={(c) => { this._carousel = c; }}
You can find the following example in the
/example folder.
Props, methods, and getters
In order to let you to create mighty carousels and to keep up with your requests, we add new features on a regular basis. Consequently, the list of available props has become really huge and deserves documentation of its own.
📚 Documentation for "Props, methods, and getters"
Layouts and custom interpolations
Built-in layouts
In version
3.6.0, we've added two new layouts on top of the original one: the first one is called 'stack' since it mimics a stack of cards, and the other one is called 'tinder' since it provides a Tinder-like animation.
You can choose between the three of them using the new prop
layout and you can modify the default card offset in the 'stack' and 'tinder' layouts with prop
<Carousel layout={'default'} />
<Carousel layout={'stack'} layoutCardOffset={`18`} />
<Carousel layout={'tinder'} layoutCardOffset={`9`} />
A few things worth noting:
- As you can see, the effect had to be inverted on Android. This has to do with a really annoying Android-specific bug.
- Even though the new layouts have been created with horizontal carousels in mind, they will also work with vertical ones \o/
- ⚠ You should NOT use
tinderlayouts if you have a large data set to display. In order to avoid rendering issues, the carousel will use a
ScrollViewcomponent rather than a
FlatListone for those layouts (see prop
useScrollView). The tradeof is that you won't benefit from any of
FlatList's advanced optimizations. See this issue for workarounds; or you may want to implement your own custom interpolation.

Wonderful guide. Her hospitality and compassion allows me to enjoy my visit in Aizu Wakamatsu. She brought me to lots of interesting places there (such as Tsurugajyo castle, Aizu Samurai Residences) and I really learned a lot from them. She is also very flexible and was able to accommodate her itinerary to include other places which I want to visit. I would certainly use her service again when visiting Aizu Wakamatsu or anywhere in Fukushima area.
I am very grateful for your kind and heartfelt review ! If you made a good memory in my tour, it is great pleasure for me. You have a wide variety of knowledge of the world , so I also learned a lot from you. There are many other wonderful places to visit in Fukushima, so I really hope to guide you here again.

Ever since we arrived back from the US to China, food here has been a little more appealing than before we left. It may be because I ate anything and everything I wanted back home so I am not missing it as much right now. Also, I think I just may have turned a corner (which everyone said I would about now) to stop recreating America and just embrace China. In result, we have been eating a lot more chinese food.
This outing began at one of my favorite restaurants here in Beijing. I had been there twice before, this was the first time for my family. It is Baoyuan and they are the ones that specialize in colorful dumplings. I really cannot eat enough dumplings here, it is one of the things I have come to LOVE, yes LOVE.
E has not yet embraced chinese food. She still only usually eats rice.
|Near hubby is an example of orange and purple dumplings.
This restaurant uses fruit and vegetables to dye their skins.
D is a little tired of chinese food, as you can see in the picture above. When we order food at a restaurant we usually order WAY too much. We usually order two vegetable dishes, two or three meat dishes, rice and dumplings. This time we let E order the main dishes and she did great! These dishes were the most like American chinese food that we have anywhere.
|A little girl of one of the employees spends all day out in front
just swinging on a swing.
The Summer Palace
Remember when I said I didn't feel like I lived in Beijing until a saw a few things? Well, this is place number two. I had heard how beautiful it is and have been really anxious to check it out. Sadly, we had amazing pictures all around the grounds that were lost :( These iphone snapshots will have to do and we definitely will be going back as it warms up!
The Summer Palace is an enormous park that the Empress Dowager had for her own pleasure. The large lake is completely frozen, but in the summer you can boat around the lake.
These men are flying kites on these contraptions.
Despite signs saying to stay off the ice, you can see many people using the ice for different sorts of entertainment.
This man blows sugar, similar process to glass blowing. He makes the shapes of all the zodiac animals.
As we were walking around the lake, we decided to sit down and take a break. One of the things we have learned is that when Chinese people speak a little bit of English they really like to come up to us to practice. We feel flattered and think it is refreshing. As we were sitting a small boy, about D's age (ten), sat down next to me and said, "what a day, what a day, what a day". It was so cute that this is what he chose to say to let us know he spoke English. Of course, we struck up a conversation for about ten minutes. He was happy.
We made it to the far side of the lake where a monastery sits high upon the hill. By this time we were extremely cold and ready to call it a day. We are looking forward to visiting The Summer Palace many more times.


text: Since breaking my wrist back in Feb my hair started to fall & I have lost loads, it so fine & I don't want to get it cut short as it has taken me years to get it long & all my usual lupus symptoms have got worse including inflammation & swelling. I saw my Rhuematologist last week, he has now stopped my Antinflamatories but put my Hydroxicloriquine tablets up to 2 a day instead of 1. My joints are now much worse &. I can barely move for swelling & pain. I also got a letter to say that my white blood count is too low & that I am to go to the blood monitoring clinic. I have been on the antinflamatories for 20 years & I am feeling miserable as it is so painful to move my body because of the swelling in all my joints, I am so tempted to restart them again & not tell him. What would you do?

It's that time of year—back to regular routines. If you do this right, this time of year can be like a fresh start, clean slate. So, if you've been a little lax on the job search front these past few months, no worries, here are some tips to get you back in the game…
I have a loud laugh, and I laugh a lot. People who like me say my laugh is contagious. People who don't tell me it's obnoxious. Either way, it's made me a better professional. Some time ago, work became the antithesis of fun. Along with it, laughter became synonymous with wasting time.
Thirteen years ago, I was an intern on Wall Street, at an investment bank. The day my program began, my stomach was in knots. This world was completely foreign to me. Would I be smart enough? Would I make the cut and receive a full-time offer to return to the bank after graduating?
