Fitting of the improbable task of keeping Jack London State Park open to the public, the Transcendence Theatre Company opens its summer season this weekend with the musical revue "Dream The Impossible Dream."
The show opens the "Broadway Under the Stars" series with performances July 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22. A portion of the proceeds from each concert will benefit the Valley of the Moon Natural History Association, which was successful in its campaign to take over operations at the Glen Ellen facility.
The theatre company is a group of professional performers with Broadway, national and international tour experience, and film and television credits. The season is scheduled to include performers from such Broadway shows as "Wicked," "42nd Street," "Les Miserables," "Hairspray" and "Mary Poppins."
The 'Dream' concert features tunes from "Phantom of the Opera," "West Side Story," "Wicked" and "A Chorus Line." The grounds for each concert open at 5 p.m. for picnicking and wine tasting. The performance begins at 8 p.m.
"Producing Broadway musicals and concerts in such an extraordinary setting is an innovative way to help the park thrive," said Amy Miller, artistic director.
The company has established residency in the Sonoma Valley with the goal of producing Broadway-quality musicals and concerts in the majestic open-air ruins.
"We look forward to sharing the wonder of Broadway music and the magic of Jack London State Park," Miller said.
Rehearsals have been going very well so far, said Executive Director Stephan Stubbins, and members of the company have been performing in the area for local causes. "Including," he said, "singing multiple numbers at the AIDS Benefit at the Sonoma Valley Inn on Saturday, which just raised over $8,000 for the Aids Walk in San Francisco, doing a free dance workshop with 100 kids from the Rohnert Park Boys & Girls Club, and singing at the Kenwood Church's Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast."
The company's summer season at Jack London includes: "Fantastical Family Night," opening August 3; "What A Wonderful World," which opens August 16; and the Sept. 1 gala celebration, "One Day More."
Tickets are $25-$37, with VIP and season ticket options also available. For tickets and more information contact 877.424.1414 or Broadwayjacklondon.com.

Impressive is the Word
"Oh my God, this is great!"
Malahni is sitting cross-legged in front of the TV, watching gleefully as a naked woman in a shower stall beats the crap out of another naked woman, while similar mayhem breaks out all across the screen. The more aggressive of the women is, of course, Malahni, kicking serious ass early in her stunt woman-career. You can't see her face, but then, that's kind of the point.
"You know, the only bone I ever broke on a movie set was my pinky finger," Malahni mentions, proudly.
After a few more seconds, the scene cuts to several shots of Malahni-as-Linda Hamilton in "The Terminator", then to the aforementioned train stunt from "Runaway Train", to the fight scene in "Ice Pirates", to "Showgirls" (Malahni was a naked dancer, tripping and falling down the backstage stairs), to "Nomads", to "Another 48 Hours" and on through her entire career.
The wild-and-wooly video is a compilation of Malahni's best stunts, culled together and compiled by 15-year-old Kenwood video-wiz Sarah Campbell, whose services Malahni requested after discovering Campbell's ad in the Kenwood Press. Malahni had decided she needed a more visual, action-packed version of her resume and those photo albums, to show to future filmmakers in need of talented stunt-people.
"At the very least," Malahni says, "It'll give my kids something so, when I'm dead, they can say, 'Hey! This was my mom. Can you believe it?'"
Numerous hours and several trips to the video store later, Campbell has arrived at Malahni's to show off the video version of the compilation that, after Malahni approves, will then be transferred to DVD form.
"Sarah, this is amazing," Malahni coos, watching her own throat being slashed, her body being dumped out of a window several flights up. The sight appears to put Malahni in a bit of a nostalgic mood.
"That's a good, pure stunt," she says. "But it might not happen that way today. These days, computers are cutting a lot of stunt-people people out of their jobs."
"I started doing stunts back in the days when you'd do a "Dukes of Hazzard" or a "Fall Guy", and you'd hit those air ramps and actually
"We were impressive."
With so many impressive exploits under her belt, I wonder which one stunt stands out as Malahni's favorite. Reaching for another photo album, she shows me pictures from, not a movie, but her oldest daughter's wedding. The ceremony, she explains, was held outdoors, at a the Highlands Hotel in Carmel, near the foot of a lengthy, multilevel stone staircase. Asked by her daughter to help put some unexpected fun and excitement into the Wedding March procession, Malahni agreed to appear at the top of the stairs, posing as her daughter, dressed in an identical, wedding dress, the fancy hair, the works and to then trip and do a flailing somersault all the way down the long flight of steps.
That was one of the funniest stunts I've ever done," she grins. "The only ones who were in on the joke were me, the priest, my daughter, and her uncle and we only told him because we didn't want him to have a heart attack, thinking it was her falling down the steps."
With a last look, Malahni closes the book, and sets it back on the stack with the others.
"It makes me kind of eager to find another stunt job real soon," she admits. "It's been a while, and there are still stunts I'd like to try. Every stunt person has a dream stunt they'd like to get a chance to do."
For Malahni, the craziest stunt yet to be dared would be to get married.
"That," she grins, "would be the ultimate."

If the least liked Congress in history passed the least liked bill in history into law and everyone ignored it, did Congress really pass the bill?
They can't promote it because we are facing 30% premium increases due to Obamacare. No one can spin that in a positive light. No one.

Panya's main room seats about 50, its mustard-color walls simply embellished with tasteful Asian ornaments and prints. Tables are adorned with silky Thai fabrics topped with glass, and the chairs are occupied by a mostly Asian clientele, which is generally considered a good sign when dining at an Asian restaurant. A smaller, more intimate eating area sits on the opposite side of the entranceway.
Personable servers brought us menus, water, and food in a timely manner (not much of a wine selection); not sure why, but on two occasions they were slow in delivering the check. In any case, we did not have to wait long for our appetizers, which included an especially juicy rendition of grilled chicken satay, crisply fried tofu, fresh spring rolls, and an enticing green papaya salad crisp white shreds of the tart fruit spruced with lime juice, nam pla (fish sauce), garlic, brown sugar, and a not insignificant dose of chopped chilies. Which reminds me: When the waiter at Panya asks if you want your dishes mild, medium, or hot, keep in mind that Thai definitions of these words differ slightly from ours. Mild is the same; it's mild. However, medium equals hot, and hot will make you sweat and see double meaning the official name for Bangkok would be Krungthep Krungthep Mah Mah ... well, never mind.

Region: Aventura/North Miami Beach
Regional specialties not commonly encountered in other local Thai joints turned out to be well worth trying. Yen ta fo is one such treat, a bowl of pink-hued soup based on preserved red bean curd (small cakes of tofu pickled in red rice vinegar). Protruding from the pungent broth were wide rice noodles, shrimp, squid, minced pork, white fungus (crunchy/spongy mushrooms), and wafers of fried won tons. A starter of "Thai pork jerk" was distinctly delectable too, so named not because of any Caribbean seasoning the thin strips of meat are dry-marinated in salt, white pepper, and sugar but owing to its chewy, jerky consistency, which comes from a process of marinating, freezing, and frying. Beef is given the jerk treatment as well, and both meats taste even better when dipped into an accompanying sweet/sour tamarind sauce. Diners are encouraged to order a side of sticky rice for much the same purpose: The sweet, glutinous grains, served steamed in a petite basket, are traditionally rolled into small balls for dunking into curries and sauces.
I could not wait to dig into spicy Thai sausage salad, because Bangkok is known for its sai klok Issan, a country banger stuffed with pork, rice, garlic, cilantro, and pepper; wrapped in a banana leaf; and grilled over an open flame (sometimes the grillmaster will toss some squeeze-dried coconut meat onto the fire to sweeten the smoke). Sadly during our visits, Panya was all out. The wurst was not to come.
We passed on crowd-pleasing peanut-studded pad thai in favor of guay tiew kee mao, a plate of fresh, flat rice noodles stir-fried with basil leaves and garlic-hearty chili sauce. Other entrées, besides noodles and noodle soups, are divvied into a dozen listings defined by the dominant flavor ginger, basil leaves, chili paste, hot-and-spicy, sweet-and-sour, and five different curries that Amporn pestles on the premises. Within each category is a choice of main ingredient: chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, tofu, duck, soft-shell crab, frog's legs, fish, and mixed vegetables. Curly snippets of chicken breast in a gingery chili sauce, and similarly slender, tender strips of beef boosted with basil leaves and chili paste were both convincing renditions, but the curries are what captured our hearts.
The curry sauces here are a blend of coconut milk, stocks, and one of five pastes. Red curry is a mild mix of basil, lemongrass, ginger, and chilies. Although, as previously stated, one may request it much hotter, I suggest keeping the red mellow, which makes it particularly well suited for chicken, tofu, and mixed vegetables. Green curry is smooth and herbal, and pairs aptly with anything, while the moderately spicy Panang curry, crafted from kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, shrimp paste, chilies, and cilantro, probably goes best with seafood. Beef is most often matched with massaman, a curry made by Muslims living on Thailand's southern border with Malaysia. It is the mildest of all pastes, the heat of chilies replaced by gently perfumed aromatics of cardamom and cloves.
Duck in "secret night" sauce translated into thickly hacked pieces of breast, some on the bone, some off, in a sprightly yellow curry spiked with turmeric, ginger, shallots, lemongrass, shrimp paste, and dried red chilies. "Diamond duck," one of five "chef's choice" entrées, was a gem, the half-bird glazed in tamarind sauce and topped with sautéed scallions, red peppers, and Thai chilies.

Wozniacki Serves Up Response To McIlroy Split
Caroline Wozniacki has thanked her fans for their support after fellow sports star Rory McIlroy ended the couple's engagement.
The champion golfer announced on Wednesday that his relationship with former world number one tennis player Wozniacki was over.
He issued a statement explaining he was not ready for marriage - despite having just sent out wedding invitations.
And his 23-year-old former fiancee broke cover over the break-up, writing on Twitter: "It's a hard time for me right now.
"Thanks for all the sweet messages! Happy I support Liverpool right now because I know I'll never walk alone."
The message came as Manchester United fan McIlroy partnered former Red Devils players Peter Schmeichel, Phil Neville and Teddy Sheringham in a pro-am tournament ahead of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
A statement from the 25-year-old golfer's representatives announcing the split said he would not discuss the situation further, but an upset McIlroy answered questions in his press conference just two hours later.
"I just want to get my head into golf this week and concentrate on the tournament and try and do well," McIlroy said.
"(I've) been playing well. The form's been good. I just want to dive straight into it and keep myself somewhat busy and just try and have a good week on the course.
"I'm not going to lie. It's going to be very difficult. But at least when I get inside the ropes (I can) just try and concentrate on the shot at hand."
Asked if he had been tempted to withdraw from an event, the Northern Irishman added: "No, I didn't think there was any reason to do that.
"I made a commitment to be here. It's the European Tour's flagship event. I'm very proud to be part of the European Tour. The European Tour have been very good to me over the last number of years and I thought it was my duty to come back and play in this event.
"Once I gave my word that I would, I wasn't going to go back on it."

Cyprus not for sale, president says after bailout talks
The president of the Republic of Cyprus has said his country is "not for sale" after talks in Nicosia on its EU bailout request.
Questioned by a reporter, Demetris Christofias said his people had their dignity, and he added: "Don't challenge me with such questions."
Finance Minister Vassos Shiarly said reports Cyprus was seeking 10bn euros (£8bn; $12.5bn) were speculation.
Formal negotiations with the EU have yet to begin.
The Republic of Cyprus, which has the eurozone's third-smallest economy, informed EU authorities on Monday that it intended to apply for financial assistance.
It said it needed help to shore up its banks, which are heavily exposed to the Greek economy.
Credit ratings agency Fitch has said the country, which has a population of one million, would need 4bn euros to support its banks, the equivalent of almost a quarter of its GDP, or economic output, last year.
The country has already borrowed 2.5bn euros from Russia, whose business people are important customers of Cyprus's relatively large offshore financial sector which offers low tax rates.
Pressure for funds grew on Wednesday when the Bank of Cyprus, the island's largest lender, said it would ask the state for 500m euros temporarily to meet a 30 June deadline to bolster its regulatory capital.
'No harsh measures'On Tuesday, President Christofias assembled Cypriot political leaders to discuss the bailout.
As he emerged from the talks, a journalist told him: "I heard that the island is for sale."
"Cyprus island is not for sale and the Cypriot people have dignity and don't challenge me with such questions," he replied.
Cyprus's main problems
- Banks: Cypriot banks' exposure to Greece totals 29bn euros, or 160% of GDP, including both Greek government bonds and loans to Greek residents
- Recession: Economy expected to shrink 1.2% this year (IMF)
- Deficit: 2011 deficit 6.3% of GDP - one of the highest in the eurozone
- Highest public sector wage bill in eurozone (as a percentage of GDP)
His finance minister said an exact amount for the bailout had not been discussed.
"This is a matter which will be determined by the process that will follow, so no amount has ever been discussed," said Mr Shiarly.
He added that there was no question of Cyprus having to take "harsh measures".
"I talk about a package which is suitable for Cyprus and the best for the people of Cyprus," he said.
The bailout figure of 10bn euros was quoted to Reuters news agency by two unnamed eurozone officials.
"The exact number has not been decided yet," one of them said.
"It was to be 6bn for the state financing and 2bn for the banks but that is optimistic - it is more likely to be 7[bn] and 3[bn], up to 10bn euros in total."
Officials from the European Commission and the European Central Bank, possibly along with the IMF, will travel to Nicosia next week, Reuters added.
Eurozone debt crisis bailouts |
Who | When | How much | Main problem |
Cyprus |
June 2012 (requested not yet granted) |
Banks holding large amounts of Greek government debt and businesses hit by collapse of Greek trade |
Spain |
June 2012 |
Up to 100bn euros |
Some banks borrowed large amounts to lend out, feeding a property boom. The credit crisis and recession meant billions of euros worth of loans could not be repaid |
Greece |
May 2010 and March 2012 |
110bn and 130bn euros. Private lenders also wrote off debt |
Greece borrowed large amounts for public spending. The financial crisis, combined with deep-seated problems such as tax evasion, left it with massive debts |
Portugal |
May 2011 |
78bn euros |
High government spending and a weak, uncompetitive, economy built up debts it could not pay back |
Republic of Ireland |
November 2010 |
85bn euros |
Like Spain, a property crash plunged the "Celtic Tiger" economy into recession, saddling its banks, which had lent big to developers and homebuyers, with huge losses |

Our association with sugar often contains fond memories. Little girls are described as "sugar and spice and everything nice." Most social events are associated with some kind of sugar exposure. I remember when we were raising our children that one of the highlights for them and probably also for me was the parent-child date, when we went out to get the chocolate dipped ice cream cones. Sugar and chocolate seem to relieve depression, or when we are down in the dumps we can get a little sugar high and that helps with the mood. Incentives in school and family are often sweets. Memories of Christmas stockings, Easter, Halloween are filled with sugar treats. Suckers at the bank or in purses or pockets to quiet unhappy toddlers are a common event in our society.
I'm going to get up on my soapbox a bit, and talk to you about one of the greatest health concerns I see in my practice. It is so common and so constant that it is deceptive. Very few people will admit it, but most people are addicted to it. I will explain why and how that is the case later, but for now, let's talk about…SUGAR, the great food deceiver.
We are bombarded with it. Every occasion that calls for celebration features a plethora of choices: candy, pastries, cakes, cookies, brownies, ice cream, cream puffs, éclairs, shakes, donuts, frozen popsicles, gum, soda pop. The list could continue almost endlessly, because the bulk of our food contains sugar. Even the most unlikely candidates for sugar inclusion contain sugar, because it is such an addictive substance. Amazingly, meat often contains it; pasta dishes frequently have it as well.
A recent study that I featured on my website, along with my comments (www.stangardnermd.com), refers to a study that concludes that sugar is as addictive as heroin, and potentially even more harmful, because of its far-reaching effects and its deceptive acceptance in our diet. That entry drew over 42 comments from readers, many of them begging for help to get off the sugar habit. (If you're one of those—keep reading! I have an important announcement—and request—coming up).
Various Deceiving Roles Refined Sugar Plays in Your Body
There are various deceiving roles that sugar plays in yours and my bodies. Let's first of all talk about what happens with the ingestion of sugar. When sugar is ingested and enters the mouth, the organisms in the mouth use sugar for energy and become more active. The byproduct of this activity or metabolism is acid production, which starts to wear down the teeth and cause cavities. Unfortunately, many dentists are still using mercury fillings that they call silver fillings or amalgam fillings. The sugar causes the initial problem by contributing to cavity formation; then the mercury toxicity from mercury amalgam fillings over subsequent years is clearly related to neurological difficulties, muscle problems (including in the heart)—and it also affects the immune system.
Another major problem with sugar and refined carbohydrates in the mouth is it feeds Candida infection, which may be found anywhere: from the mouth, esophagus, down through the large intestine and rectum. Because Candida uses sugar for metabolism and energy, Candida is better able to divide, multiply and morph into a more toxic form with sugar as fuel.
One last problem with sugar ingestion before it gets into the stomach where absorption takes place is the neurochemical changes that sugar triggers in the brain. These are related to actual tongue stimulation, which sets off immediate changes in the brain. The brain, unfamiliar with this type of onslaught, evidences behaviors which are not uncommonly seen in children, such as hyperactivity, anxiety, crankiness and diminished concentration and depression. All of these can significantly affect school performance. Some people experience drowsiness instead of hyperactivity. Interestingly, recently presented data at a neuropsychopharmacology conference demonstrated that some of these neurochemical changes are the same changes that occur in people ingesting alcohol and other addictive substances. Clearly, sugar is an addictive substance.
Now, let's talk about what happens with sugar or refined carbohydrates after they leave the mouth and are ingested into the gastrointestinal tract. Of particular interest are insulin and sugar. Increased insulin production due to sugar intake will eventually lead to insulin resistance. Since refined sugar requires no metabolism or digestive processes for breakdown, sugar is immediately absorbed into the body, causing a rapid rise in blood sugar or blood glucose levels. The pancreas anticipates this rise and releases insulin, anticipating not only the amount of sugar in the stomach, but that there will be a meal following. Often too much insulin is secreted, which drops the blood sugar to a level below where the body functions optimally. This sets up a stress hormone reaction in the adrenal gland, and epinephrine, or adrenaline, is released to handle the stress. When adrenaline is released, it sends a message to the liver to break down glycogen stores (which are many glucose molecules hooked together) to release glucose into the blood stream. This corrects the low blood sugar level. Adrenalin makes many people feel anxious, nervous, and irritable; their heart rate may also go up. These adrenaline symptoms are perceived by the body as stress, and many people have discovered that if they eat sugar when their blood sugar is low, then their blood glucose will immediately rise and take away these symptoms. Unfortunately, with the body's normal mechanisms of correcting low blood sugar and the ingestion of a sweet, the blood glucose may again go too high. The pancreas secretes too much insulin (again), dropping the blood sugar too much (again). If another candy sweet is ingested two hours after the first one, and the liver kicks in increasing glycogen breakdown, blood sugar rises too high, which triggers the pancreas to secrete more insulin, and gets into this endless cycle.
This could all be avoided if the carbohydrates were not in the refined state. Carbohydrates in the complex form (like whole grains, legumes, vegetables) take time for the body to break down and much slower absorption would then take place. After years of being on a roller coaster with too much sugar and too much insulin, the cell walls of the cells in the body become thick and there is a reduced number of the insulin receptors in these cells. Because the insulin can no longer drive the blood sugar into the cells as rapidly as it could before, the blood sugar rises, the pancreas continues to excrete insulin and pretty soon, we have what's called insulin resistance. This is a chronic problem of high blood sugars or high normal blood sugars with an elevation in the insulin. Eventually, this will be the cause and source of diabetes type two.
What do consistently high levels of insulin do in our body? High insulin levels block the conversion of triglycerides into energy. Glucose and triglycerides are the two major sources for energy or ATP production. When triglycerides are blocked with consistently high insulin levels, there is a rise in the triglycerides, which is a precursor for cholesterol. As the cholesterol and triglyceride levels rise, there'll be a greater deposition of these fat molecules into the body with associated weight gain.
Another problem with high insulin levels is that there is an increase in sodium and water retention, which leads to hypertension and edema or water retention in the body. Insulin is also associated with increasing testosterone levels, which causes androgen effects. Some of the androgen effects that women don't like are blemishes that appear and increased hair growth. (Although today most everybody likes the muscle building effects of increased testosterone levels).
The effects of high blood sugar in the body are many and varied. If the blood sugar is high enough, then the sugar will bind to proteins. This is given a fancy name called glycosylation or glycation. All that means is that the glucose is binding to proteins. If glucose binds to the proteins in the red blood cell, then it decreases oxygen delivery to the cells and increases its stickiness. This will cause clumping of red blood cells, which will diminish the ability of the blood stream to carry nutrients to areas and it will actually cause microinfarcts because these clumped red blood cells cannot pass through capillaries and will block the supply of blood.
When the glucose binds to a nerve cell, it will cause tingling or pain or numbness in that nerve area. This is most often seen in the feet and is called neuropathy. Unfortunately, there may be unrecognized skin breakdown with subsequent infections because of the sensory nerves having difficulty assessing damage to the skin.
When the sugar binds to a blood vessel wall, it causes inflammation and vascular disease. Inflammation is the beginning point of vascular disease, with its subsequent clotting and trapping of red blood cells, white cells, platelets and release of iron and copper. The release of iron and copper from the red blood cells will increase free radical releases. These are actually catalysts for free radical acceleration with subsequent free radical damage. The release of serotonin from the platelets will cause local inflammation and vasoconstriction or constriction of the blood vessels. This will eventually lead to an increase in incidence of strokes and heart attacks, hypertension, and kidney failure. Between the clumping of the red blood cells and the microinfarcts and the inflammation in the blood vessel wall, the blood vessel system is compromised, which reduces nutrients, oxygen, and the ability of the blood vessels to get rid of waste products, causing cyanotic (blue because of lack of oxygen) feet or limbs.
When the glucose binds to the LDL or a low density lipoprotein, which is a cholesterol molecule, then cholesterol synthesis will be increased, resulting in more fat storage. When glucose binds to the protein in the lens of the eye, it is a cause of cataracts.
When the blood sugar is elevated, the body makes every attempt it can to reduce the blood sugar. One of the ways it does this is by converting glucose into triglycerides. Triglycerides are precursors for cholesterol, and as the cholesterol or triglyceride levels rise, more fat is deposited in the body.
Sugar is a known pro-inflammatory substance. All inflammation causes free radical damage. All inflammatory diseases have been attributed to rises in blood sugar levels and exposure to sugar on a chronic basis. These inflammatory diseases include arthritis, migraine headaches, the vascular disease that we've already talked about, emphysema, and eczema. Food allergies, rise in blood pressure and even symptoms of multiple sclerosis are increased upon exposure to sugar. Asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's and ulcerative colitis all can lay a good part (if not all) of the blame onto sugar. Even cancer has been specifically associated with high-blood sugar levels. Cancer cells have 15x more insulin receptors than regular cells. They will even make their own insulin to bring sugar in. Breast cancer, ovarian, prostate, rectal, colon, and gall bladder cancers all have been documented to be associated with higher sugar intakes. In fact, once the cancer has started it is an obligate sugar consumer, and sugars and all carbohydrates (because they break into the glucose molecule) feed cancers. All inflammatory diseases also accelerate aging with loss of elasticity and function of tissue.
Because blood sugar and sugar ingestion causes inflammation, this will be a stress on the body, which will activate the sympathetic nervous system. The stresses of sugar cause a decrease in GI tract motility or movement in the gastrointestinal tract, which increases the amount of acid reflux. This is why we often get acid reflux when we are stressed. Sugar also slows down the motility in the stomach, small and large intestines, and colon, causing constipation. Constipation is commonly associated with hemorrhoids, colitis, and diverticulitis. Often when we find sugar that is ingested, it is ingested without associated fiber, which also contributes to constipation.
High blood sugar levels cause an increased excretion or loss of certain minerals out of the kidneys, including calcium and chromium. Of course, this eventually leads to a calcium deficiency with the possibility of contributing to osteopenia and osteoporosis. A chromium deficiency increases insulin resistance. The elevated blood sugar also decreases absorption of magnesium and calcium which again contribute to the calcium deficiency.
Many nutrients are used up in the process of metabolizing sugar. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body, as it is utilized in more biochemical reactions than any other single mineral or vitamin in the body. With the diminished magnesium absorption and increased utilization of magnesium to metabolize sugar, it is not uncommon to have a magnesium deficiency in people with insulin resistance and diabetes. Manganese is also used up in sugar metabolism. Manganese is a critical co-factor in superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is one of the major anti-oxidants in the body and found in all the cells of the body.
Cobalt is also metabolized with sugar. It is an important part of vitamin B12. That's why it's called Cobalamine because it's a Cobalt molecule that is inside the cell. Zinc is utilized in sugar metabolism, and it is important for hair and skin, strength, and for the immune system. In a deficiency, there tend to be skin problems, hair problems, and a drop in the immune system. Many of the B vitamins are utilized, especially vitamin B1, or thiamine. Thiamine deficiency is highly tied into energy metabolism, and it's not uncommon to have heart arrhythmia or skin swelling with a thiamine deficiency.
High blood sugar levels also cause an immune system deficiency. The phagocytes, which are the cells in the body which chew up foreign material including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and break-down products, are not as effective when high blood sugar levels are found in the blood stream.
One last topic associated with high blood sugar is what happens during pregnancy. High blood sugar levels actually have the capability of affecting the DNA of the fetus and newborn child. This results in that child having more illnesses, and typically a shorter life span than children not exposed to sugar. Sugar has a genetic effect on jaw size, which tends to be reduced in the subsequent generation, and as this is passed on from generation to generation, jaw size is reduced to the point where orthodontic work is needed just to create straight teeth.

Cara Delevingne
The world found out about Cara's first tattoo via Instagram. The fab Lion tattoo on her finger (done by celeb fave tattoo artist Bang Bang NYC) was actually created after she asked for the word 'Lion' and the tattooist suggested a real lion would be cooler. Good shout, Mr Bang Bang! Cara has followed this with a 'Made in England' stamp on the bottom of her foot. It's clear she's got the bug and we're all eyes for what's next... A friendship tattoo with Rita Ora perhaps?
Evan Rachel Wood
Cursive tattoos are a huge trend in Celebville! Evan Rachel Wood got this Edgar Allen Poe quote etched on her upper back: 'All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream'. Appaz her mum used to read him to her as a child – we love a nostalgic tatt!
Paloma Faith
Paloma Faith has made a serious statement with her back tattoos!Doves are typically a sign of peace and love, and Paloma has a total of FOUR on her back! Someone's feeling the love! Although she erm, 'charmingly' described her tattoos as 'birds escaping from my arse crack' on the Jonathan Ross show... Either way, gorgeous tatt's!
When she's not getting controversial gun tattoos, RiRi shows her softer side. The tattoo-loving megastar paid tribute to her deceased grandma Dolly when she got this Egyptian goddess inked just below her boobs. The caption read 'Goddess Isis — Complete woman — Model for future generations — #Grangrandolly — always in and on my heart#1love.'
Jessie J
Jessie J has four tattoos, including one misspelt song lyric from her song Who You Are! But it's the heart behind her ear we like the most - it's made from a treble clef and bass clef, representing her love of music (duh!) We love to see a clever twist on the simple music symbol tattoo idea. Good work, Jessie!
Iggy Azalea
If you follow Iggy on Insta, you'll know her name as @thenewclassic. These three words appear on her right hand fingers, and the left side? 'Live' followed by 'Love' followed by A$AP which is crossed out. She got the tatt whilst with fellow rapper and former lover A$AP rocky. Remember kids, tatt's are for life!
Fearne Cotton
Our mate Fearne Cotton has a penchant for tattoos, especially stars! Just check out the large one on her ankle, and the intricate design of stars intertwined with vines on her foot. Super cool.
Hayden Pannetiere
Hayden's rib scrawl reads 'vivere senza rimipianti' which is wrongly spelt in Italian for 'live without regrets' (ironic, no?) The star showed it off back in 2011 when she first got the ink then got attention for all the wrong reasons. Nice placement Hayden, shame about the spelling…
Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato has struggled with depression, addiction and self harm since her childhood in the spotlight as a Disney star. After seeking help for her self-harming, she had the words 'Stay' and 'Strong' etched over her wrist scars.
In an interview, the singer revealed: "I think scars are like battle wounds—beautiful, in a way... My tattoos say 'Stay strong.' Now I'm able to look at them and be thankful for being alive. I think that I've been blessed over the past year to be able to start over."
Lady Gaga
Queen of the tats Gaga has 11 and counting! The pop superstar only has tattoos on the left side of her body out of respect for her father and her cherub tatt is the closest to breach her left side rule, she got this inked live at her fragrance launch back in September 2012 at the Guggenheim Museum. But the illustrations don't stop there; she plans for a lot more, but with only the left side, might she go down the Rico The Zombie look like in her 'Born This Way' video..?
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens' Butterfly tattoo was her first! The former Disney starlet revealed the origin on the David Letterman show, saying 'A butterfly landed on my mum's stomach a week before I was born and that's how I got my name, because Vanessa means butterfly - I kind of feel like a badass now!' Hmm, you're not quite on Miley's level of tattoo badass-ness just yet, but good effort with that lovely tattoo!
Kelly Osbourne
We love Kelly Osbourne's quirky tattoos but Kelly has come out in recent years and said how much she regrets getting inked. She's even been quite vocal about getting some of them removed with laser surgery. We think her keyboard tatt is cute (not sure we'd get one ourselves, mind!) but it lookslike she's learned the hard way to always think before you ink!
Rita Ora
Rita has lots of tattoos but we love the words she has on the inside of her fingers. In different colours and fonts, she has the words 'promise', 'love' and 'hope'. She got the latter just before the BRIT Awards 2013 and tweeted that it was no coincidence. She lost out on the Breakthrough Artistgong to Ben Howard, but we admire her inky optimism!
Nicole Ritchie
Thought you loved the anklet trend? Nicole Richie has blown us all out of the water with this cute tattoo. It's no ordinary anklet though - these rosary beads and cross represent Nicole's Christianity, something she's spoken about at length in interviews before.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
What a sweetheart! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's subtle heart on her wrist is mega cute. They say you should avoid arm tattoos in case employers have problems with it, but that's clerly not an issue for this supermodel babe!
Lana Del Rey
Lana has 'trust no one' on her right hand and 'paradise' in the same place on her left which is something fellow pop songstress Adele has been inked. The 'M' on her left hand stands for her grandmother's name, Madeleine. Lana often draws non-permanent tatt's on herself including 'Life is beautiful' on her wrist. This girl clearly likes her tatt's from the elbow down!
Mena Suvari
Mena Suvari shocked the celeb world when she got this giant script tattoo beneath a lion on her back in 2008. She's been quite tight-lipped about her 'Word Sound Power' tattoo, but has revealed in the past that she's actually a huge reggae lover, so it's likely that it's inspired by 70's reggae band Word Sound & Power. Who knew?
Megan Fox
Celebrity ink fan Megan's striking back tatt is an adapted quote from Shakespeare's King Lear: "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies". She's in the process of removing her Marilyn Monroe tattoo from her arm because she doesn't want to attract the same 'negative energy' that plagued Monroe - we wonder if this tatt will stick about?
Lily Collins
Lily Collins told us she got matching wrist tattoos done with her mum! The cute and simple design features initials inside a heart with wings and a British crown on top. Regal chic!
Pixie Geldof
We love Pixie's statement arm tattoo, reading 'What will survive of us is love' - a quote from a poem by Philip Larkin. Pixie has also paid tribute to her mother by getting her name tattooed on her wrist.
Lena Dunham
Forget the celeb trend for dainty tatts, Lena Dunham means business with these houses on her back. Lena explained in an interview that Hannah's explanantion in GIRLS was pretty spot on, when she revealed on the show that her tatts are from a childrens' book called Eloise that she got in high school because she gained a lot of weight in a short amount of time and wanted to feel in control of her own body. Fair play, Lena!
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus' Disney days seem like a distant memory since she got a blonde crop, a fash-over and a bunch of tattoos! Miley has over 20 tatt's and one of the most unique is this quote on her arm from former US President Theodore Roosevelt's famous speech about striving to achieve greatness: 'So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat'. Who knew Miley was so deep and meaningful..?
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett's tattoo is located on her forearm - a bright coloured sunrise. But the true reason she got her tattoo is unknown as she says: "Some things have to remain private." Johansson wears her tattoo with pride and says "It makes me happy when i look at it."
Lily Allen
Singer Lily has the word 'Shhh...' as well as this bracelet style tattoo of symbols including a dog, homer simpson and a acid house smiley!
Peaches Geldolf
Peaches has at least 11 tattoos, from the letter 'P' and a bow on her neck, lyrics from a song by Nick Caves on her lower back, and this 'Ex-Valentine' tattoo on her upper arm, but her most extreme tattoo is a daisy chain which stretches across the side of her body, from her chest down to her knee.

Many of us were raised on the notion that sandwiches are healthy. Pack some meat, vegetables, and mustard between two slices of bread and you have one nutritious meal, right?
Not so much. Of course the meat and veggies are healthy, and even mustard and mayonnaise can be included as part of a Paleo diet, but the bread has to go. If you don't know by now, here's why:
You're probably sick of hearing about gluten by now, but it's true that it's problematic. Not only are we discovering a rise in people suffering from diseases like Celiac, but it turns out that gluten can have all sorts of negative effects on people, even if they don't test positive for gluten sensitivity. Essentially, gluten literally sticks to your insides. Since the lining of our gut is designed to let some nutrients in to the blood stream, the sticky gluten messes with this system and forces the gut to increase its permeability in order to let nutrients through. This then lets in other foods and toxins that do not belong in the blood stream, which causes an immune reaction, resulting in inflammation. In the short term, inflammation is nothing more than a by-product of an immune response and it can even be beneficial, but when allowed to become a chronic condition, it is linked to all sorts of diseases, from diabetes to heart disease.
As far as your pancreas is concerned, there is little difference between a couple slices of bread (even whole wheat) and throwing back a handful of pure sugar. The result is the same as far as the amount of insulin that your pancreas needs to secrete to deal with the sugar rush. The more carbohydrates you consume over time, the more accustomed to insulin your cells become, leading to insulin resistance and ultimately illnesses such as diabetes.
Wheat is pretty devoid of nutrients, and what little nutrition it does contain is compromised by the inflammation that results from the gluten and the carbohydrates. Since living a Paleo lifestyle is all about consuming nutrient-rich foods, you're better off passing up that sandwich in favor of a lettuce wrap or a salad.
If anyone tries to tell you that grains are an important food group, Mark Sisson did a great job of debunking that myth here.

I want to know how one enforces a doctor to do thorough tests fo cancer. I was diagnosed with Colits which took a decade - over 5 years to diagnose. I was mocked, laughed at, told I was mad - everything until I was fully diagnosed - then told very little. I am aware it throws up different sptoms but I've been having a blockage in my neck for a while over 6 years now - lyph glands in neck. I'm turning deaf it seems as I keep getting tenitus, I was told if I get shin pain or discomfort at A&E there was a problem but my docotr sees this all as a joke. I'm coughing with a nasty rasping sound - I have mould too on walls which could contribute to this.
My aunt died from cancer last weekend and it was so late they diagnosed this, there was nothing they could do for her as it progressed so far - she was a radiologist!
I'm stuck as I cannot get the doctors to take me serioulsy. My blood tests show small variances - e.g low white blood cells but it seems all down to 'colits'.
I always feel sick and food makes me ill at times. I also get dizzy spells and a constant running nose - mucous running on the side of the lymph glad nostril.
I'm very worried as it's been there for years and it could be related to my brain but again the doctors are beyond stupid over here. I was told I was mad for havig syptoms relating to colitis when they couldn't source the issue - literally, they told me I was imagining things - I'm a black wona so it's even harder - I'm now in 30's.
Dear Anonymous,
I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. However, her chances of getting cancer were very high if she was a radiologist and more than likely often exposed to radiation.
Symptoms of Colitis include:
Abdominal pain and bloating that is constant or comes and goes
Constant urge to have a bowel movement
Small variances in WBC count can be "normal" for some people particularly when they have certain conditions and this does not raise a red flag for doctors unless it is accompanied by certain symptoms or a drastic change. If you feel like your doctor is no longer listening to you, please visit a few doctors until you find one that you are comfortable with. I will tell you that most doctors do not screen for cancer unless you have specific symptoms that could possibly be indicative of a certain type of cancer.
All the best to you,

If you are like me and road trips with your kids is a nightmare or is like a ticking time bomb waiting for one to set it off and you have access to an iPad then maybe you need to look at Cynett's CarGoholder for your iPad, I recently tried this over the New Year when we took a trip up to Guilderton here in Western Australia, it is about an hour a half from home so took the opportunity to try the CarGo for my 4 year old, loaded up the iPad with Cars 2 and hit the road.
The trip was great the youngest and most volatile of my three kids was entertained thanks to the CarGo and Jaybird Sportsband 2 Bluetooth headset , he was in heaven. My Wife was really thankful.
Here is some info from Cygnett's website
- Connect easily to charger, or plug in earphones. The CarGo snaps on or off your headrest's metal brackets in seconds
- Watch movies, play games, listen to music on the road completely hands-free
- Easy-to-use, the CarGo bracket snaps on & off a car's headrest in seconds
- Functional design allows for use with iPads that have cases just as easily as those that don't
- Precisely engineered fingers grip your iPad affording extra stability for more stable viewing
- Easy access to all ports & controllers, as well as the earphone port for use with headphones
- Perfect for keeping kids entertained on long drives
- 2 year manufacturer's warranty
iPad car mount bracket with 360-degree rotation
Transform your back seat into a digital entertainment hub with Cygnett's iPad car mount bracket, the CarGo. Perfect for keeping backseat passengers busy (while allowing the driver to concentrate on the road), CarGo provides a safe and stable place for your iPad.
The 360-degree rotation and tilt feature allows the iPad screen to be angled vertically or horizontally for perfect glare free viewing by one or more back-seat passengers.
I Tested CarGo with my Wife's iPad which had an OtterBox Defender case.
The only thing I would do differently I would have used no case, the weight of the case did bend the joint connection I was able to bend it back so no real issue. My four year old loved the CarGo, we would recommend it to anyone to stave off world war III on your next holiday road trip.
Visit http://au.cygnett.com/ipad/cargo.html for more information on how you can get your CarGo before that next trip away.

The Abels Family of West Chicago, IllinoisUpdated April 27, 2006 |
Bruce Abels |
Hello to everyone who has come out to visit the tree. This has been a very interesting year for me, as I have had conversations with so many family members I have never met before. Many of these people were on the tree, but I had never contacted them or knew if they were still alive. After having left the tree alone for over a year, I have been able to add so many new people. This all started because a gentleman from Germany contacted me to inquire into Pontian Donaubauer's family, who is Sharon's great-great grandfather. That rekindled my interest, and now you can see a lot of names in the family tree. When he's done researching the family, I'll be able to add all of the names that he provides as well. I'm still looking for relationships with the Minott Mitchell family. Once I can find my grandmother's grandfather, I'll be able to add another couple hundred names. |

Verizon Wireless Enhances 4G LTE Network Coverage In Adams County, Pennsylvania
ADAMS COUNTY, Pa., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireles s recently activated new 4G LTE coverage in Adams County, further expanding coverage on the high-speed wireless data network the company launched earlier this year.
Now, Verizon Wireless customers in Barlow and New Oxford can use their 4G LTE-enabled devices to surf the Web, post status updates and photos, share music, and download files at speeds up to 10 times faster than customers on 3G networks .
In real-world, fully-loaded network environments, Verizon Wireless customers will be able to use their 4G LTE smartphones, tablets, notebooks, laptop modems and mobile hotspots to experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.
"We've always believed the best wireless devices deserve the best wireless network," said Mario Turco, Philadelphia Tri-State Region President for Verizon Wireless. "People everywhere are increasingly relying on their tablets, smartphones and apps to stay organized, connected and entertained. Our investment here in the Philadelphia Tri-State region and across the country has kept us ahead of this consumer trend and underscores our belief that 4G LTE delivers the best value to customers by maximizing the performance of their wireless devices." Verizon Wireless customers can also take advantage of HomeFusion™ Broadband, a solution that leverages the power and speed of the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network to deliver high-speed, in-home Internet access for residential broadband, particularly in areas where Internet options are limited or are not currently available. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $1.8 billion in the Philadelphia Tri-State region network since 2000, including $200 million in 2011 alone, to increase coverage and capacity on behalf of customers. Currently, the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is available in 417 markets across the United States. The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network covers more than 70 percent of the Philadelphia region, including Greater Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg, Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre and large portions of southern New Jersey and Delaware. When customers travel outside of a 4G LTE coverage area, 4G LTE devices automatically connect to Verizon Wireless' 3G network, where available, enabling customers to stay connected from coast to coast. Verizon Wireless' 3G network is the most reliable high-speed data network in the country and allows customers in 3G coverage areas who purchase 4G LTE devices today to take advantage of 4G LTE speeds when the faster network becomes available in their area, or when they travel to areas already covered by 4G LTE.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Enjoy an intimate dinner for two in the Museum. In this luxury hotel near Rome, you can enjoy the unique privilege of a candle-lit dinner, where as you savour the creations of the gourmet chef, Michelino Gioia ( one Michelin star), amidst archaeological finds that are over two thousand years old. The foundations of La Posta Vecchia rest on the ruins of a Roman villa, built by an influential nobleman sometime around the second century B.C., as suggested by the size, finish and objects discovered intact during the restoration. This villa used to be part of ancient Alsium, a port city, originally Etruscan but later Roman, which was covered over in subsequent centuries by new buildings, like Castello Odescalchi and its outbuilding. The villa's restoration, ordered by J. Paul Getty, brought to light parts of the ancient walls, coloured mosaic floors, and wall coverings with African and Greek marble, as well as amphorae, vases and large plates, all of which are on display in illuminated display cases. Following this incredible discovery, excavations and restoration were conducted with great care, overseen by the Archaeological Authority, and were not completed until 1970. In the end, all of the objects were cleaned, catalogued and then exhibited in the private museum in the hotel's basement. To visit the museum (a real one not a virtual one), simply head downstairs near the lobby in La Posta Vecchia. The atmosphere alone is enough to make an evening here unforgettable, but you'll also remember fondly the creations of the gourmet chef, Michelino Gioia, ( one Michelin star). Remains of the ancient villa are also visible in the garden. What better spot to declare your love to your partner, announce happy news or celebrate an important milestone?

Time for a special holiday edition of Brandcameo's Product Replacement Quiz. Is your cinematic recall good enough to name these three prominent product placements from this summer's hit comedy, Get Him to the Greek? Take our quiz after the jump.
Before we challenge your memory with Russell Brand's brands, here's a look at some of the products in this week's new films:
Brandcameo has already looked closely at some of the bigger placements in three of this week's big films. We noted how Faster proves that Chevelle is stealing perfectly good muscle car roles.
We ruminated on the hollowness of products in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
And we explained how Pfizer has nothing to fear from Love and Other Drugs.
A brand that maybe does have something to fear from drugs? Porsche. It seems the German sports car brand once again finds itself (below) cast as the chosen ride of jerks (a trend we've examined before).
Burlesque opens this week and one of the muscial's numbers takes on haute brands such as Chanel, YSL, Dior, Agent Provocateur — even Harry Winston gets in on the shout out to luxury product brand names in the song I'm a Good Girl:
And what goes better with such luxury brands than Heineken (below). Wait, what?
Will Disney's latest animated pricess tale Tangled further confirm the theme of studios completely dropping product placement from animated children's films?
Also, back to Faster, firearm-maker Ruger is poised to benefit handsomely from the placement of its handsome Redhawk Alaskan revolver (below). The gun's placement is already lighting up message boards.
Ok, now it's time for our weekly quiz. The below three product placements below are all from June's Russell Brand romp, Get Him to the Greek. It hasn't been long since it was on the big screen; can you name them all?
1) Rock star Mr. Snow (Brand) drowned his sorrows in this controlled beverage, above.
2) Given the trend of studios placing their media partners within films (which we've explored), it's no surprise to see this network in Greek.
3) This smart hone brand was front and center filling the screen for a good few seconds.
Put your answers, as well as any other tips or observations, in the comments. As always, we'll have the answers next week. Happy Holidays!

SanDisk has just unveiled the smallest USB Flash drive they have ever made. The SanDisk Cruzer Blade is its name, and it's about the size of a paper clip (the bigger ones) and weighs about the same as a penny (just 2.5 grams); that's incredibly small and probably way too easy to loose for someone of my age and mental ability to recollect where things are.
SanDisk plans to make 2GB models, right up to 16GB. If you're interested in the actual specs, it measures 1.63 x 0.69 x 0.29 inches. SanDisk will sell the Cruzer Blade in the US and Canada, a 2GB will cost you $14.99, while a 4GB, 8GB and 16GB will run $21.99, $38.99 and $77.99 respectively.
Although the 8GB is selling for just $16.99 right now at Amazon. I'm not much of a fan of red and black, and if you're going for the smallest possible, then take a look at the Wink, half the size, straight black, and easier to loose.
Tiny SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB Offers Sleek High-Capacity Storage, Letting Consumers Take Their Favorite Files With Them Wherever They Go
CruzerBladeMilpitas, Calif., July 27, 2010- SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), the global leader in flash memory cards, today announced the availability of its smallest USB flash drive to U.S. and Canadian consumers. The SanDisk Cruzer® Blade is about the size of a standard size paper clip and weighs approximately the same as a penny, creating a tiny footprint that fits easily on a keychain or mobile phone dongle. Despite its small size, the drive packs high-capacity storage at an affordable price.
Available in capacities ranging from 2 gigabytes (GB)1 to 16GB, the SanDisk Cruzer Blade lets consumers take their favorite digital content with them wherever they go. A 4GB drive can store 1,000 songs, 1,200 high- resolution photos, or 8 hours of 768kb/s video*. The SanDisk Cruzer Blade offers reliable storage in a sturdy form factor, helping consumers rest assured that their digital content is safe.
"At half the size of some other USB drives, our compact Cruzer Blade provides consumers with highly portable storage at a great value," said Kent Perry, director, retail product marketing, SanDisk. "The drive lets users transfer their digital data quickly between computers, and delivers a storage boost to devices such as netbooks that often need additional memory but are difficult to upgrade easily."
The SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB flash drive is available now in the United States and Canada at sandisk.com, with prices ranging from $14.99 to $77.99. The drive carries a two year limited warranty.

They actually using "small" as a selling point? come on, the smallest flash drive is like 1/5 – 1/6 of that plus the usb plug.
If you want small… this one is real small. Buffalo 16GB 5mm Thumbkey
SanDisk… are always late in terms of releasing new products… (all their products are outdated)…
I guess they are still around cuz they put focus in stores like Staples, Futureshop…where you will never find up-to-date stuff.
This is one gadget that shouldn't be reduced in size any further then it was. Trying to make cell phones, computers, mp3 players, etc smaller makes sense but making these smaller? San Disk just wants people to shell out their money each time they loose their stick.

DSW Inc. and Zappos.com said Monday they had reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed by DSW last May.
In the suit, DSW alleged that the footwear e-tailer had infringed on DSW's service marks online. The suit said Zappos misused DSW's marks in multiple URLs, along with DSW store photographs. In its response, filed last July, Zappos asked an Ohio district court to dismiss the action because DSW's "complaint does not allege direct infringement because it does not allege that Zappos owned or had any control over the domain names at issue."
The terms of Monday's settlement were not disclosed, but execs from both companies said they were satisfied with the outcome.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement with DSW on this issue," said Millie Lauren Chou, associate general counsel of Zappos, in a statement.
Bill Jordan, general counsel of DSW Inc., said, "We respect Zappos as a competitor, and this case provides a framework for discussing intellectual property and brand equity issues in the affiliate advertising context."
