100 Centenarian Project
Work ethic contributes to long life
by Marjorie Randell
centenarian sub-committee
You would never in the world think Louise Argereau was 103 years old. She moved swiftly and easily when she answered the doorbell.
Louise was born in Canada and came to the United States at the age of 5. She lived in Illinois, Ohio and Detroit before coming to California in 1928.
Louise's genetics are tilted in favor of her longevity by a mother who lived to 98 and a grandmother to 97. Louise has a very strong work ethic. She chose work over continuing school after high school. She loved her job working in the canneries of Long Beach.
She met her husband in 1933 right after the big earthquake in Long Beach. "We were married for 34-and-a-half years," she said proudly.
When asked what in her life she was most proud of, Louise replied without hesitation, "Family love... I love my family." Although Louise never had children of her own, she had four brothers and has lots of nieces and nephews to love.
Louise's health has been good except that she had breast cancer in 1963 and has survived longer than anyone would have imagined at that time. Her only exercise through the years was work. No sports or long walks. Her daily prayers are a thank you for good health.
Sometimes during her growing up and school years, she was chided because she wasn't born in the United States. She never said it out loud in rebuke, but said to herself, "I'll bet I am more of an American than any of you!"
Louise considers herself a happy person and lives each day in gratitude for the blessings of her life. She reads the papers and keeps up with world events, always in sympathy for the downtrodden and the underdog.
When asked what she would recommend to others for living a long, happy and healthy life, Louise quoted something her mother frequently said to her, "Do everything in moderation, and you will never go wrong."

Cole Academy
Mingle with students over pizza
All Leisure World residents are invited to a special pizza lunch Thursday, June 5, hosted by Children-A-Priority (CAP) for children from Cole Academy in Santa Ana. The school's choir will provide a lively musical program.
The children are encouraged by their instructors to mingle and join members at the tables to eat. They are bright young people and ask interesting questions. The conversational exchange is fun, and LWers learn as much from them as then seem to learn from LWers.
Cole Academy is a public charter school with an enrollment of approximately 339.
School items are given to the students as a thank you from the club, along with a monetary gift to the school. This is one of the children's charities that CAP donates to in Southern California.
More information will be in the News regarding time and reservations.

Sunshine Club
New move-in found answers at meeting
Bee Backstrom moved to Leisure World from Palm Desert to be near her daughter who lives in Old Town.
She recalled reading an article in The News about how the Sunshine Club helps new move-ins and others learn how to make the best of living in LW.
Bee attends weekly Sunshine Club meetings and enjoys being with friends and members. She said the thing she enjoys most is the club's diversity and multicultural-atmosphere, and that it is a friendly and informative way to get answers when needed.
She rides the "C" bus to the meetings. When recovering from a broken hip she scheduled the Access bus to take and pick her up. She remembers how kind and friendly the handicap bus drivers were, and appreciates the many services available for those who need special care.
As a frequent visitor to the Golden Age Foundation Hospitality Center, she suggests having a table for " newcomers" to share common questions and difficult times adjusting in LW.
Sunshine Club is fortunate to have members like Bee. The club meets Fridays in Clubhouse 3, Room 8 or 2, from 10 a.m. -noon. It is an English speaking class; all shareholders are welcome to attend. No membership is required. Refreshments are provided.

It's the afternoon now - kids quiet and just coming back from my neice's 1st birthday party...we share a birthday. They did it really big for her, which was nice. Am I envious or upset...not a bit, because I had a lvely birthday weekend, thanks to my loving husband.
It started on Friday night when we had the family over for cake - angelfood with strawberries and cream, and ice cream for those who wanted it. He thought of what cake would be good for my "diet" as he likes to call it, and he did a great job of making everything nice for me.
On Saturday, I worked. We got his parents to watch the kids and went out with my brother & his wife, and my sister & her boyfriend...for SUSHI. It's been 6 YEARS since I had sushi at my favorite restaurant. I saved up calories and carbs and fully enjoyed myself at dinner. I can actually say I overate - we were all stuffed to the gills. My sis and SIL had a spicy crunchy yelowtail roll for dessert even!
So today, March 2, is my actualy birthday, which I usually loathe because most people forget it, or I make it underplayed because of whatever psycho reason I have.
This year I said NO MORE! I enjoyed getting presents - which were great and what I wanted, and the day was beautiful and mild, reminding me that Spring is on it's way. I posed for pictures with my SIL's and kids and everything. Made my husdband take new pics of me in my new old clothes that finally fit! Hooray me!
Thanks SP for making my 35th birthday a great one...if not for you, I'd still be a lumpy, depressed mom who wanted to hide again for another year.
So now that dinner is almost on the table, I'm going to drink my water, and then go workout as a birthday present to myself.
I'm going out today, to my son's kindergarten class, to talk about teeth. I was pondering what to wear, when it occured to me that I might just fit into something I only wore 1 time. So I took out a shirt my MIL gave to me 2 Christmas' ago - I wore it once, and not very proudly. Well, the darn thing fit!
I KNOW I'm not alone in this category - a closet full of nice clothes, but a little too snug, but wearing the usual old loose stuff from 5 years ago feels better than exposing one's rolls to the world.
My poor husband was banished years ago from buying me anything to wear as gifts. An absolute no no. Not very nice on my part, but I figured hiding was better than returning anything that didn't fit - because shopping for clothes meant frustration, disappointment, and settling for something I really didn't want or like, but had to get anyway,
When I joined SP, I was done with just being there and existing. Now I see that I matter - no matter what shape or size. I don't want to buy just anything for an occassion. I want to buy what I want and love and feel good in. The healthier I become, the more options I will have.
So it's time to dust off those shirts with the tags in my closet and set some new mini-goals. To expand my daily wardrobe with what I already own, iron everything in the closet - toss the fat clothes I've had from the last 5 years (keeping only the PMS woobies that we all have), and buy myself some new shoes (I'm a little overdue in that dept).
To look good is to feel good - my hair and make-up have always been good, but I really don't want to wind up with Stacy & Clinton on What Not to Wear, even though the shopping spree money would be awesome.
So whoever reads this particular blog - I offer you a challenge:
- Raid your closet and see what you have, keep the good stuff and donate the rest to charity.
- As for your make-up drawer - toss everything you don't use - it's probably old and outdated anyway; replenish with the basics. If you don't wear makeup - try some. You may be shocked at what a little tinted moisturizer, soft blush and mascara can do for you self esteem.
First of all - YAY ME!!
Second of all - I vow to never, ever, ever go on that scale until my weigh-in day. Doing it before hand just gives undo mental unrest that I didn't need.
I say that because I went on it on Monday and it said I gained 1 pound -oh my God! Went a little mental the rest of the days until today, Thursday, my weigh-in day. (I'm keeping it at Thursday - right in the middle of the week - a boost to keep good for the weekend, and when the work week starts up on Monday, I'm again focused to be good for the weigh-in day coming up.)
But I digress. Monday's downward mental spiral lead me to watch calories and workout even more. I changed my cardio to everyday, and have been doing it ever since. My workout plan seems to be working for me so far.
So weighing-in was a hoot. I fully expected not to have lost anything. I checked the scale and move it to a different spot and everything. When I saw that it went down, I got off the silly thing to look close at the markings and even counted them! I even moved it to the original spot and it remained the same weight! And then I moved it back again to the other spot and checked again! SHOCK! 2 more pounds gone, for a grand total of 10 since Feb 7th.
I'm in shock. YAY ME!!!!!! GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!
Yup, I said it. 3 Weeks in and I am sick of water!!!
The first week went just fine - motivated, drinking and peeing like crazy - weight flying off my body like crazy (now I know it was alot of water weight coming off too).
The second week - still going strong, the bottle attached to my hand, not peeing as much as my body gets used to the increased liquid.
Well, this week, I am sick of water. I already drank half this morning and the bottle is staring at me going "hahaha - you still have to drink more of me!" And I know that I'll do it, but I just don't want to! And I'm sure I am not the only one feeling this way sometimes. I could probably go on the message boards and get a dozen anwers of why I should keep drinking, blah, blah, blah...this is just me bitching about it.
Maybe I'm PMSing. Something usually pisses me off enough to get a good rant going. It's probably not even the water!
I know what it is - it just dawned on me...my vacation exercise routine is over and now I have to get the work week/kids in school routine going. And I'm trying to figure it out still. The mornings are too early and the baby wakes up sometimes while hubby is in the shower, thus needing my attention at 5am when we get up. The evenings after bedtime...depends if it's my turn to do the big kids' night routine or the babies routine. It doesn't sound very complicated, but somehow it gets that way. Maybe during lunch on T,W,TH, and then M&F - I'll plan on the nights. M&F I watch 4 little ones - tried during the day during naptime, but my brain was too scattered on everybody sleeping and the house noises to concentrate on doing it right.
I'll figure it out somehow. I have to. I don't want to let things slide out of control again and be down on myself.
I won't let this get out of control again. so there :P
Monday/Friday - workout at night
Tues/Wed/Thurs -workout at lunchtime
I openly admit it. I want to eat today because the day is so BOOORRRING.
With an 18month old still under the weather (darn teeth) and the last day of vacation before school starts up again - I can admit boredom for the very first time this week. Kids are asleep or quietly playing. Hubby is surfing the web. I am pacing the floors. Sure, tons of projects to do here and there, but I don't want to do any.
I decided to take the day off of exercise - I've been very good, you see, and I awoke a little sore this morning. In doing so, I have fallen into the pocket of boredom, and the beast of snacking is upon me! Down, I say, you fowl thing!
And I know what I must do, my fellow health junkies, for I know what a response will be if anyone decides to read this...get on that darn treadmill already!!
So here I will leave you...no more boredom for me. The treadmill will be the sword that slays it down from now on. By the time anyone reads this, I'll be sweatin' to Daughtry...
And for the first time in my life, I will say it...I miss my daily exercise that I had adopted so faithfully this past week. What has SP done to me! Where is my old lazy self! Gone for good, I hope - like the snacky beast that I am going to kill right now.
25 min on treadmill - hubby & kids still napping/playing quietly

A sampling of comments from Herbert's listening sessions on water
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Eight listening sessions held across the state in July and August resulted in more than 800 comments about Utah Gov. Gary Herbert's efforts to begin mapping out a water strategy in the decades to come.
Here is a sample of some of those comments:
Develop water where it is at. Small areas cannot protect water rights against big cities and big money.
We need to educate people about water rights.
Protect farms.
We need to harvest dead trees to prevent catastrophic wildfires that destroy watersheds.
More storage reservoirs are needed.
Secondary water systems should be metered. Even though the cost will be high, the amount of water saved by metering will justify the expense.
Residents should be fined for over watering their yards.
Homes should use gray water collection systems for watering their yards.
Negotiations with Southern Nevada Water Authority should be held to allow Snake Valley water to go to Washington County and the Lake Powell portion to Vegas.
The residents of the Wasatch Front should be much more water-conservation minded. If they were, the Bear River project could be delayed significantly.
Dike the eastern half of the Great Salt Lake, move the pumps and create a fresh water lake.
Open ditch and canal systems are very inefficient and need to be lined or piped, but need funding.
Water banking is one method that can be implemented to help agriculture retain its fair share of water.
Restore stream access, returning it back to the broader public use many feel has been restricted by the new stream access legislation.
Protect in-stream flows for sport fishing and duck hunting.
Keep water in the drainage it originates in, no trans-basin transfers.
Study the geology of groundwater more effectively.
Support and build the Lake Powell Pipeline.
Continue strong conservation efforts and educate the public.
Public and private partnerships should be considered for funding projects and operating facilities.
The state needs a "gate keeper" and this person is the state engineer. The Division of Water Rights should get more money in order to administer the law and to gather data concerning water use and availability.

Pursuing Justice Through Filmmaking, Why we Create Beauty, Hot Dog Related Altercations
Filmmakers Spencer Chumbley and Erik Ljung have shot for organizations like VICE and Al Jazeera. I caught up with the guys just before they debuted their film, The Death of Cory Stingley a the Milwaukee Film Festival.
Humans make things, we always have. But, we don't just make, we create beauty. We pay attention to symmetry, form and detail. Why is that? Darwinian theory says it's simply a form of "peacocking." More specifically, our creative predispositions are merely "fitness signals." For example, if you write a novel, create a moving peace of art, or compose a great song, it's just a uniquely human way of showing off your intellect in hopes of attracting a mate, like a peacock with it's innately douchey bouquet of feathers.
I fucking hate this idea.
But, let's be fair. It's totally undeniable that ego and social elevation are often intertwined with creative accomplishments.… Read the rest

WE WILL LIVE AGAIN looks inside the unusual and extraordinary operations of the Cryonics Institute. The film follows Ben Best and Andy Zawacki, the caretakers of 99 deceased human bodies stored at below freezing temperatures in cryopreservation. The Institute and Cryonics Movement were founded by Robert Ettinger who, in his nineties and long retired from running the facility, still self-publishes books on cryonics, awaiting the end of his life and eagerly anticipating the next.
'Beep', A Documentary About the History of Sound in Video Games
h/t Laughing Squid
"Beep is the definitive documentary film of game sound from the mechanical arcades through to today's orchestras."
… Read the rest
We have a really unique opportunity to do this film right now. Nearly all of the people involved in early video games are still alive. We can't go back and interview early film composers, but we can interview game sound designers and composers from the early days. That opportunity won't last forever. We need to document this incredible history while we can. We're going to be keeping all the extra footage that doesn't make it into the film, and make it available to researchers and fans, so everyone can have access to this important historical information, now and for the future! We've brought on board an archivist and librarian who are going to help us out with archiving and making these recordings available to you.

Synchronicity & the Collective Dream
Carl Jung, the man who coined the term synchronicity and studied it extensively for decades, once said that "Synchronicity is no more baffling or mysterious than the discontinuities of physics."
Sometimes it seems to me that the universe is like a giant organism or mind, and synchronicity is like a symptom of the cosmos tripping utter ballsack, having an orgasm, or a good belly laugh. Prodding itself along the path of greater self-awareness. There is a mode we can partially access that is more heavily tuned into the non-local level of things where everything is everywhere. Tapped in to a degree that we can barely imagine from our ordinary day-to-day state of consciousness. Often the leaks into consciousness are brushed off as mere coincidences.
I wonder what people would think if they could simultaneously see or be aware of all of our collective "coincidences" that have occurred in human life throughout our years, and then whether or not they'd still default to the explanation that it was mere coincidence… My guess, after documenting the phenomenon for years, is that the response would be pure astonishment, requiring heavy revision to the parameters of our reality-tunnels.… Read the rest

Unacceptable Levels examines the results of the chemical revolution of the 1940s through the eyes of affable filmmaker Ed Brown, a father seeking to understand the world in which he and his wife are raising their children. To create this debut documentary, one man and his camera traveled extensively to find and interview top minds in the fields of science, advocacy, and law.
Sun Ra at 100: 'A Joyful Noise'
This year we celebrate the 100th birthday of the cosmic reign of the avant-garde jazz musician Sun Ra whose official birthday is celebrated on May 22. For those who know the man's music, there is no need for an introduction here. For neophytes, here is a sampling of the story from the Sun Ra Arkestra's official website:
… Read the rest
Eclectic, outrageous, sometimes mystifying but always imbued with a powerful jazz consciousness, the music of Sun Ra has withstood its skeptics and detractors for nearly three generations. And well it should, since Sun Ra has been both apart of and ahead of the jazz tradition during that time.
Like Duke Ellington and swing-era pioneer Fletcher Henderson, Sun Ra learned early on to write music in an arranged form that showcased the specific talents of his individual Arkestra members, and he has retained the services of some of these musicians to this day: John Gilmore, Marshall Allen, and Julian Priester for example since they first joined in the 1950's.
CIA's Regime Changing Activities in Venezuela: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, also known as Chávez: Inside the Coup, is a 2003 documentary focusing on events in Venezuela leading up to and during the April 2002 coup d'état attempt, which saw President Hugo Chávez removed from office for two days. With particular emphasis on the role played by Venezuela's private media, the film examines several key incidents: the protest march and subsequent violence that provided the impetus for Chávez's ousting; the opposition's formation of an interim government headed by business leader Pedro Carmona; and the Carmona administration's collapse, which paved the way for Chávez's return."

A review of Alex Gibney's "Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown," airing on HBO on Monday, October 27.
Q. Why is there no Halloween in India?
A. They took away the Gandhi.
Ho, ho. Of course, if there is no Halloween in India, then they wouldn't know they didn't have one, so the joke would not be funny. In a country that does have Halloween, like the United States, anyone young enough to find the joke funny (under 8, say) wouldn't know who Gandhi was.
So you see we're in a mine field here. Who knows what makes people laugh? In an opening scene of "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World," Albert Brooks is summoned to a secret State Department meeting. It's chaired by Fred Dalton Thompson, who was a lawyer and actor before he was a U.S. Senator, and now plays one in the movies. The president is concerned about reaching the world's Muslims, Thompson explains. He's tried wars and spying, the usual stuff, and now he thinks maybe he might try humor. Brooks' assignment: Spend a month in India and Pakistan and write a 500-page report on what makes Muslims laugh.
That's the premise for a movie that might inspire a sequel titled, "Searching for Comedy in the Albert Brooks World." I mean that as a compliment. Brooks' movie has a lot of humor in it, but it's buried, oblique, throwaway, inside, apologetic, coded and underplayed. Midway through the movie, he does a free stand-up comedy show in New Delhi, and nobody laughs at anything. Rodney Dangerfield attacked sullen audiences aggressively: Folks! Folks! There's a guy up here on stage, telling jokes! Brooks is incapable of bluntness. He sidles up to his material and slinks away from it.
I recall that Brooks did once perform the material from his New Delhi concert on TV (references are made to "The Tonight Show" and Ed Sullivan). It was funny then: The "improv" set where he changes all of the audience suggestions, and the skit about the incompetent ventriloquist. But everything he does bombs in Delhi. It would also bomb in America, because he performs as if it's not funny.
His concert is an experiment: See what the audience does and doesn't laugh at, and put it in his report. Of course, he has no idea how many people in the audience are Muslims; India has lots of them, but a lot more Hindus. And when he tries to go to Pakistan, it involves an illegal border crossing and a stand-up session before a bunch of would-be standup comics sitting around a campfire.
Brooks is aided in his survey by a local woman, Maya (Sheetal Sheth), who types 125 words a minute, is terrifically encouraging and has a jealous Iranian boyfriend. He has a couple of minders from the State Department, the Fine Woodworking subscriber Stuart (John Carroll Lynch) and his partner Mark (Jon Tenney), always carrying on a simultaneous conversation on a cell phone. They try the man-in-the-street approach, asking people what makes them laugh with about as much success as Jay Leno has asking people how many states there are.
The laughs tend to be hidden in the crevices. Brooks walks by offices every day, for example, filled with people who are answering the phone for big American corporations. There are two bigger laughs in the movie, one involving his dressing room for the standup show, the other involving his meeting with executives of the Al-Jazeera network. And some medium laughs. And a lot of chuckles. And a stubborn unwillingness to force the laughs. Brooks has a persona that apologizes for everything including being a persona. No matter how much you laugh, you get the feeling he wanted you to laugh less.
Because I have seen all of Brooks' movies, liked most of them and loved some, I was in training for "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World." Veteran Brooks-watchers will be able to hear the secret melodies and appreciate the way he throws away even the throwaways. It's also interesting how he doesn't take cheap shots at India or Pakistan. When a Muslim woman asks him, "Are you a Jew?" he's set up for a slam-dunk, but he walks away from it. He acts not like a comic wiseguy but like a clueless citizen sent on a baffling State Department mission. Well, that's what he's playing.
I liked the movie. I smiled a lot. It maintained its tone in the face of bountiful temptations to get easy laughs. It never identifies a Muslim (or Hindu) sense of humor, but then again Brooks never does anything funny, so maybe that's why. Of course they have a sense of humor in India, because the best-selling English-language novelist in the country is P.G. Wodehouse. If you don't know who Wodehouse was, that's all right, you didn't know who Gandhi was, either. If you knew who Gandhi was but still don't get the Halloween joke, that may have been because you were pronouncing "Gandhi" correctly.

Women in the Military

In a time of war, when the need for military personnel is greatest, do restrictions on women soldiers still make sense? Proponents of the existing policies say that, although times may be changing, war is not the time to engage in social experiments that they say could impact unit cohesion and morale. But opponents question how we justify our fight to maintain a free and open society while denying some the right to fully serve to defend those freedoms. Do such restrictions have legitimate aims or are they based on outdated stereotypes? "Women in the Military" explores these and other related questions in this timely and thought-provoking debate.

For four frustrating months in 2007, Mark Wiegardt and his wife, Sue Cudd, witnessed something unsettling at their Oregon oyster hatchery: tank bottoms littered with dead baby oysters. Usually, the larvae are grown until they're three weeks old and a quarter of a millimeter in size -- 10 million bunched together are roughly the size of a tennis ball. Then they are shipped to 50-some growers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. But that summer, the oysters died before they were ready to ship. Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery struggled to fill a third of its orders.
"You have good and bad weeks, but this was a blanket kill on everything we tried to do," recalls Wiegardt. "We thought we were going out of business because we couldn't make the larvae grow."
It turned out that "corrosive" seawater, which makes it harder for young oysters to build shells, was largely to blame. Like the atmosphere, the world's seas are burdened by our fossil fuel use and deforestation. The ocean has sponged up a quarter of the carbon dioxide humans have produced since the Industrial Revolution, steadily lowering its pH. Today's seas are 30 percent more acidic than their pre-industrial ancestors. By the turn of the century, scientists anticipate they will be 150 percent more so -- a trend that led National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) chief Jane Lubchenco to call ocean acidification climate change's "equally evil twin."
