Some wintery showers are on their way this week, forecasters have said.
Steve Western, duty forecaster for Weatherquest based at the University of East Anglia, said: "We are expecting colder conditions Tuesday onwards.
"There will be some wintry showers on Tuesday night which could lead to some patches of snow on the ground."
He said there was also likely to be some wintry showers on Wednesday and Thursday, and there was a reasonable chance of wintry showers next week also.
The Met Office has also issued a yellow alert of snow in the east of England for Wednesday.

I used to think that the only way to eat halloumi cheese was to toast it or fry it. I have some at home and I'm looking for different recipes I can try with it and I learned that there are many different ways to make it. There are meatball, salad and pastry recipes that call for halloumi.
I can toast it and grind it with meat to make meatballs or put toasted chunks of it in sandwiches, salads or croissants.
I'm wondering if it would be good as a replacement for paneer in Indian dishes. I think it's worth a try! I have a feeling that I could make a really great spinach paneer dish with it.

"Hey Jude" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. The ballad evolved from "Hey Jules", a song McCartney wrote to comfort John Lennon's son, Julian, during his parents' divorce. "Hey Jude" begins with a verse-bridge structure based around McCartney's vocal performance and piano accompaniment; further instrumentation is added as the song progresses. After the fourth verse, the song shifts to a fade-out coda that lasts for more than four minutes.
"Hey Jude" was released in August 1968 as the first single from the Beatles' record label Apple Records. More than seven minutes in length, it was at the time the longest single ever to top the British charts.[1] It also spent nine weeks at number one in the United States, the longest for any Beatles single. "Hey Jude" tied the "all-time" record, at the time, for the longest run at the top of the US charts. The single has sold approximately eight million copies and is frequently included on professional critics' lists of the greatest songs of all time.[2][3][4] In 2013, Billboard named it the 10th biggest song of all time.[5]
Inspiration and writing[edit]
In 1968, John Lennon and his wife Cynthia Lennon separated due to John's affair with Yoko Ono. Soon afterwards, Paul McCartney drove out to visit Cynthia and Lennon's son, Julian. "We'd been very good friends for millions of years and I thought it was a bit much for them suddenly to be personae non gratae and out of my life," McCartney said.[6] Cynthia Lennon recalled, "I was truly surprised when, one afternoon, Paul arrived on his own. I was touched by his obvious concern for our welfare ... On the journey down he composed 'Hey Jude' in the car. I will never forget Paul's gesture of care and concern in coming to see us."[7]
The song's original title was "Hey Jules," and it was intended to comfort Julian Lennon from the stress of his parents' divorce. McCartney said, "I started with the idea 'Hey Jules,' which was Julian, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. Hey, try and deal with this terrible thing. I knew it was not going to be easy for him. I always feel sorry for kids in divorces ... I had the idea [for the song] by the time I got there. I changed it to 'Jude' because I thought that sounded a bit better."[6] Julian Lennon discovered the song had been written for him almost twenty years later. He remembered being closer to McCartney than to his father: "Paul and I used to hang about quite a bit—more than Dad and I did. We had a great friendship going and there seems to be far more pictures of me and Paul playing together at that age than there are pictures of me and my dad."[8]
Although McCartney originally wrote the song for Julian Lennon, John Lennon thought it had actually been written for him:[9]
But I always heard it as a song to me. If you think about it ... Yoko's just come into the picture. He's saying. 'Hey, Jude—Hey, John.' I know I'm sounding like one of those fans who reads things into it, but you can hear it as a song to me ... Subconsciously, he was saying, Go ahead, leave me. On a conscious level, he didn't want me to go ahead.
Other people believed McCartney wrote the song about them, including Judith Simons, a journalist with the Daily Express.[10] Still others, including John Lennon, have speculated that McCartney's failing long-term relationship with Jane Asher when he wrote "Hey Jude" was an unconscious "message to himself."[11] In fact, when Lennon mentioned that he thought the song was about him, McCartney denied it and told Lennon he had written the song about himself.[12]
Writer Mark Hertsgaard noted "many of the song's lyrics do seem directed more at a grown man on the verge of a powerful new love, especially the lines 'you have found her now go and get her' and 'you're waiting for someone to perform with.'"[12] Tim Riley wrote, "If the song is about self-worth and self-consolation in the face of hardship, the vocal performance itself conveys much of the journey. He begins by singing to comfort someone else, finds himself weighing his own feelings in the process, and finally, in the repeated refrains that nurture his own approbation, he comes to believe in himself."[13]
McCartney changed the title to "Hey Jude" because the name Jude was easier to sing.[8] Much as he did with "Yesterday", McCartney played the song for other musicians and friends. Ron Griffith of Badfinger (known at this time as the Iveys, and the first band to join the Beatles-owned record label Apple Records), recalled that on their first day in the studio, "Paul walked over to the grand piano and said, 'Hey lads, have a listen', and he sat down and gave us a full concert rendition of 'Hey Jude'. We were gobsmacked."[8]
When McCartney introduced Lennon to his new composition, he came to "the movement you need is on your shoulder" and told Lennon "I'll fix that bit." Lennon asked why, and McCartney answered "... it's a stupid expression; it sounds like a parrot." Lennon parried with "You won't, you know. That's the best line in the song." McCartney thus left the line in and later said "... when I play that song, that's the line when I think of John, and sometimes I get a little emotional during that moment."[14]
The Beatles recorded 25 takes of "Hey Jude" at Abbey Road Studios in two nights, 29 and 30 July 1968. These were mostly rehearsals, however, because they planned to record the master track at Trident Studios to utilise their eight-track recording machine (Abbey Road was still limited to four-tracks).[15] One take from 29 July is available on the Anthology 3 CD.[16] The master track was recorded on 31 July at Trident Studios. According to Trident's founder Norman Sheffield, before recording took place, Mal Evans, the Beatles' assistant and pal, arrived at Trident with a truck full of marijuana plants and a large tea chest. He was met by Sheffield who looked in the chest and found that it was full of corn flakes and steaks. Sheffield told Mal that they had a full kitchen upstairs and that the food wouldn't be necessary. Evans insisted on the pot plants, however, and said that "the boys" wanted the plants in the studio to make the place "soft."[17] Four takes were recorded; take one was selected. The song was completed on 1 August with additional overdubs, including a 36-piece orchestra for the song's long coda, scored by George Martin. The orchestra consisted of ten violins, three violas, three cellos, two flutes, one contra bassoon, one bassoon, two clarinets, one contra bass clarinet, four trumpets, four trombones, two horns, percussion and two string basses.
According to Norman Sheffield, there was a lot of dissension to start with. "Some of the musicians were looking down their noses at the Beatles, I think. Paul picked up on this and confronted them straight away: 'Do you guys want to get fucking paid or not?' he said. That concentrated their minds pretty well...they soon fell into line." During the first few takes, McCartney was unhappy with the energy and passion the orchestra was putting into it. So he stood up on the grand piano and started conducting the orchestra from there.[18] While adding backing vocals, the Beatles asked the orchestra members if they would clap their hands and sing along to the refrain in the song's coda. Most complied (for a double fee), but one declined, reportedly saying, "I'm not going to clap my hands and sing Paul McCartney's bloody song!"[19]
Ringo Starr almost missed his drum cue. He left for a toilet break—unnoticed by the other Beatles—and the band started recording. In 1994, McCartney said, "Ringo walked out to go to the toilet and I hadn't noticed. The toilet was only a few yards from his drum booth, but he'd gone past my back and I still thought he was in his drum booth. I started what was the actual take, and 'Hey Jude' goes on for hours before the drums come in and while I was doing it I suddenly felt Ringo tiptoeing past my back rather quickly, trying to get to his drums. And just as he got to his drums, boom boom boom, his timing was absolutely impeccable."[20]
At 2:59 of the song, someone can allegedly be heard to say, "Fucking hell!" There is some dispute as to who said this, and whether it was really exclaimed at all. Sound engineers Ken Scott and Geoff Emerick claim the exclamation came from McCartney and that it was Lennon's idea to leave the mistake in the final mix. "'Paul hit a clunker on the piano and said a naughty word,' Lennon gleefully crowed, 'but I insisted we leave it in, buried just low enough so that it can barely be heard. Most people won't ever spot it ... but we'll know it's there.'"[21] However, in the Kevin Ryan and Brian Kehew book Recording the Beatles, discussing the recording processes behind the Beatles' sessions, engineer Malcolm Toft recalls, "Barry Sheffield engineered 'Hey Jude', but I mixed it ... John Lennon says a very rude word about halfway through the song. At 2:57 you will hear a 'Whoa!' from him in the background. About two seconds later you will hear, 'Fucking hell!' This was because when he was doing a vocal backing, Barry sent him the foldback level [headphone volume] too loud and he threw the cans on the ground and uttered the expletive. But, because it had been bounced down [mixed] with the main vocal, it could not be removed.[22] I just managed to bring the fader down for a split second on the mix to try to lessen the effect." Others argue that the voice is Ringo Starr's.[23]
George Harrison and McCartney had a disagreement over this song. According to McCartney, during a rehearsal Harrison played an answer to every line of the vocal. This did not fit with McCartney's idea of the song's arrangement, and he vetoed it.[19][20] In a 1994 interview, McCartney said, "We were joking when we made the Anthology: I was saying: 'I realise I was a bossy git.' And George said, 'Oh no, Paul, you never did anything like that!'... But it was essential for me and looking back on it, I think, Okay. Well, it was bossy, but it was ballsy of me, because I could have bowed to the pressure."[20] Ron Richards, who worked for George Martin at both Parlophone at AIR Studios, and who discovered the Hollies,[24] was present for many Beatles' recording sessions. He said McCartney was "oblivious to anyone else's feelings in the studio," and that he was driven to make the best possible record, at almost any cost.[25] Trident was paid £25 per hour by EMI for the "Hey Jude" sessions. Sheffield said Trident earned about £1,000 in total at the time, but by having the Beatles record there, and in turn raving about the facility, the value was incalculable.[26] In 2013 McCartney agreed to write the foreword to Sheffield's book "Life on Two Legs" in part recognition to his experience in recording Hey Jude at Trident.
Composition and structure[edit]
"Hey Jude" begins with McCartney singing lead vocals and playing the piano. The patterns McCartney plays are based on three chords: F, C, and B-flat (I, V and IV);[1] the second verse adds accompaniment by guitar and a single tambourine. The main chord progression is "flipped on its head" for the coda since the C chord is replaced by E-flat.[27] Author Tim Riley notes, "As Ringo offers a restrained tom-tom and cymbal fill, the piano shifts downward to add a flat seventh to the tonic chord, making the downbeat of the bridge the point of arrival ('And any time you feel the pain')."[28] At the end of each bridge, McCartney sings a brief phrase ("Na-na-na na ...") and plays a piano fill which leads to the next verse; the phrase McCartney sings serves to "reorient the harmony for the verse as the piano figure turns upside down into a vocal aside." Additional details, such as tambourine on the third verse and subtle harmonies that accompany the lead vocal, are added to sustain the interest of the listener throughout the four-verse, two-bridge song.[29]
The verse-bridge structure of the song persists for approximately three minutes, after which the band leads into a four-minute-long coda. During the coda, the rest of the band, backed by an orchestra that also provides backing vocals, repeats the phrase "Na-na-na na" followed by the words "hey Jude" until the song gradually fades out. Time magazine described the coda as "a fadeout that engagingly spoofs the fadeout as a gimmick for ending pop records."[30] Riley notes the repeated chord progression of the coda (I-♭VII-IV-I) "answers all the musical questions raised at the beginnings and ends of bridges," for "The flat seventh that posed dominant turns into bridges now has an entire chord built on it." This three-chord refrain allows McCartney "a bedding ... to leap about on vocally",[31] so he ad-libs his vocal performance for the rest of the song. Riley concludes that the song "becomes a tour of Paul's vocal range: from the graceful inviting tones of the opening verse, through the mounting excitement of the song itself, to the surging raves of the coda."[13]
Single release[edit]
"Hey Jude" was released on 26 August 1968 in the United States and 30 August in the United Kingdom, backed with "Revolution" on the B-side of a 7" single.[32] The single was the debut release of the Beatles' record label Apple Records; in the US, it was also the first Beatles' single to be issued in a company sleeve rather than a picture sleeve.[33] Even though "Hey Jude" was recorded during the sessions for the album The Beatles, also known as the White Album, it was always intended as a single and not an album track,[15][34][35] although it would eventually make its LP debut two years later as the title cut on the compilation album originally titled The Beatles Again. Lennon wanted "Revolution" to be the A-side of the single, but the other Beatles did not agree. In his 1970 interview with Rolling Stone, he said "Hey Jude" was worthy of an A-side, "but we could have had both."[36] Ten years later in 1980, he told Playboy he still disagreed with the decision.[37]
"Hey Jude" began its sixteen-week run on the British charts on 7 September 1968, claiming the top spot a week later. It only lasted two weeks on top before being knocked off by another single from Apple, Mary Hopkin's "Those Were the Days" [38] (a song which, incidentally, if not penned was actually produced by McCartney). The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on 13 September; that same week NME reported that two million copies of the single had been sold.[39] The song entered the US charts on 14 September 1968, where it stayed for nineteen weeks. Two weeks later, "Hey Jude" was number one in the charts and held that position for nine weeks,[40] the longest time spent by a Beatles' single at number one,[41] as well as being the longest-playing single to reach number one.[40] The song was the 16th number one hit for the band in the US, tying Elvis Presley's record at the time for most number one songs there. Billboard ranked it as the number-one song for 1968.[40]
"Hey Jude" clocked in at 7:11. The only other chart-topping song worldwide in the 1960s that ran over seven minutes was "MacArthur Park", written by Jimmy Webb and performed by Richard Harris. George Martin told Webb that "Hey Jude" was only allowed to run over seven minutes because of the precedent "MacArthur Park" set.[42] In the UK, where "MacArthur Park" did not top the chart, "Hey Jude" remained the longest number-one hit for nearly a quarter of a century, until it was surpassed in 1993 by Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", which ran 7:58 as a single.[43]
On 30 November 1968, NME reported that sales had reached nearly six million copies worldwide.[44] "Hey Jude" became the biggest-selling debut release for a record label ever, selling an estimated eight million copies worldwide and topping the charts in eleven countries.[38] "Hey Jude" was the top Billboard Hot 100 single for 1968.[45] Less than three weeks after its release, the record was certified gold for sales of one million copies. In 1999, it was certified 4x platinum, representing four million units shipped.[43][46]
The Apple Boutique incident[edit]
A failed early promotional attempt for the single was later recalled by the Beatles' personal assistant Alistair Taylor. On 7 August 1968, McCartney took his new girlfriend, Francie Schwartz, and Taylor to the Apple Boutique, closed only a week before, in order to paint the upcoming single's title Hey Jude/Revolution on its large street-side shop window. Within a day, the hand-made piece of promotion was mistaken for an anti-Semitic graffito (since Jude, besides being an English first name, happens to mean "Jew" in German), and the window was smashed by passers-by.[47]
McCartney himself related the incident like this in 1996:
I went into the Apple shop just before Hey Jude was being released. The windows were whited-out, and I thought: "Great opportunity. Baker Street, millions of buses going around ..." So, before anyone knew what it meant, I scraped Hey Jude out of the whitewash.
A guy who had a delicatessen in Marylebone rang me up, and he was furious: "I'm going to send one of my sons round to beat you up." I said, "Hang on, hang on—what's this about?" and he said: "You've written Jude in the shop window." I had no idea it meant "Jew", but if you look at footage of Nazi Germany, "Juden Raus" was written in whitewashed windows with a Star of David. I swear it never occurred to me.
I said: "I'm really sorry," and on and on "some of my best friends are Jewish, really. It's just a song we've got coming out. If you listen to the song you'll see it's nothing to do with any of that—it's a complete coincidence." He was just about pacified in the end.—Paul McCartney, The Beatles Anthology
Critical reception[edit]
Upon the release of the "Hey Jude" single, Time contrasted it with its B-side "Revolution." Time wrote, "The other side of the new disk urges activism of a different sort" due to McCartney "liltingly exhort[ing] a friend to overcome his fears and commit himself in love."[30] Robert Christgau of The Village Voice called it "one of his truest and most forthright love songs" and was critical of its omission from The Beatles.[48] Rolling Stone also attributed the song's meaning as a message from Paul to John to end his negative relationships with women. "... to break the old pattern; to really go through with love."[49] Music analyst Alan Pollack praised "Hey Jude," saying, "it's such a good illustration of two compositional lessons—how to fill a large canvas with simple means, and how to use diverse elements such as harmony, bassline, and orchestration to articulate form and contrast." He also said it is unusual for a long song because it uses a "binary form that combines a fully developed, hymn-like song together with an extended, mantra-like jam on a simple chord progression."[50] Pollack described the song's long coda and fadeout as "an astonishingly transcendental effect,"[50] while Unterberger observed, "What could have very easily been boring is instead hypnotic because McCartney varies the vocal with some of the greatest nonsense scatting ever heard in rock".[11] John Lennon said "Hey Jude" was "one of his [Paul's] masterpieces."[9]
"Hey Jude" was nominated for the Grammy Awards of 1969 in the Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal categories but failed to win any of them.[51] It did win the 1968 Ivor Novello Award for "A-Side With the Highest Sales". In the 1968 NME Readers' Poll, "Hey Jude" was named the best single of the year.[52] In 2001, "Hey Jude" was inducted into the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Grammy Hall of Fame.[53]
In 2004 and later in 2010, Rolling Stone ranked the song at number eight on "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time," making it the highest ranked Beatles song on the list. Also in 2010, Rolling Stone ranked the song at number seven on the Beatles' 100 Greatest Songs.[54][54] It came in third on Channel 4's list of 100 Greatest Singles.[3] The Amusement & Music Operators Association ranked "Hey Jude" the 11th-best jukebox single of all time.[4] It was also voted the greatest song of all time by Mojo readers.
Promotional film[edit]
The Beatles hired Michael Lindsay-Hogg to shoot the "Hey Jude" promotional film (he had previously directed a 'promo' film for "Paperback Writer"), and they settled on the idea of filming with a live, albeit controlled audience. In the film, the Beatles are first seen by themselves, performing the initial chorus and verses, and then are joined by the audience who appear as the last chorus concludes and coda begins; the audience sings and claps along with the Beatles through the song's conclusion. Hogg shot the film at Twickenham Film Studios on 4 September 1968, with McCartney himself designing the set. Tony Bramwell, a friend of the Beatles, later described the set as "the piano, there; drums, there; and orchestra in two tiers at the back." The event is also memorable because it marked Starr's return to the group after a two-week hiatus, during which he had announced that he had left the band.[55] The eventual final film was a combination of several different takes[56] and included filmed 'introductions' to the song by David Frost (who introduced the Beatles as "the greatest tea-room orchestra in the world"),[57] and Cliff Richard, for their respective, eponymous TV programmes.[56] As filming wore on, Lennon repeatedly asked Lindsay-Hogg if he had the footage he needed. After twelve takes, McCartney said, "I think that's enough", and filming concluded.[56] It was first aired in the UK on 8 September 1968, and the film was later broadcast for the United States on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour on 6 October 1968.[58]
Auctioned lyrics[edit]
In 1996, Julian Lennon paid £25,000 for the recording notes to "Hey Jude" at an auction. Julian Lennon spent another £35,000 at the auction buying John Lennon memorabilia. John Cousins, Julian Lennon's manager, stated, "He has a few photographs of his father, but not very much else. He is collecting for personal reasons; these are family heirlooms if you like."[59]
In 2002, the original handwritten lyrics for the song were nearly auctioned off at Christie's in London. The sheet of notepaper with the scrawled lyrics had been expected to fetch up to £80,000 at the auction, which was scheduled for 30 April 2002. McCartney went to court to stop the auction, claiming the paper had disappeared from his West London home. Richard Morgan, representing Christie's, said McCartney had provided no evidence that he had ever owned the piece of paper on which the lyrics were written. The courts decided in McCartney's favour and prohibited the sale of the lyrics. They had been sent to Christie's for auction by Frenchman Florrent Tessier, who said he purchased the piece of paper at a street market stall in London for £10 in the early 1970s. In the original catalogue for the auction, Julian Lennon had written, "It's very strange to think that someone has written a song about you. It still touches me."[60]

Paul McCartney sang the song in the closing moments of the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics hosted in London. On 4 August 2012, McCartney led the crowd in a rendition of the song while watching cycling at the velodrome.[102]
Cover versions[edit]
"Weird Al" Yankovic included the song in his first polka medley "Polkas on 45" from his 1984 album "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D.[103] Katy Perry performed a cover of the song as part of the 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year concert honoring McCartney,[104] and in her 2012 film Katy Perry: Part of Me.[105] The song was performed by the members of glee club in the 2013 Glee episode "Tina in the Sky with Diamonds" and the soundtrack Glee Sings the Beatles, in which the song is shortened to four minutes and fifty-one seconds.[106] In the late 1960s, famous singer Sinn Sisamouth recorded a Cambodian version of "Hey Jude".[107] South African band Dr Victor and the Rasta Rebels included a version on their greatest hits album.[108] Wilson Pickett covered the song in 1968 with pre-Allman Brothers Band session musician Duane Allman on guitar.
In the 2011 Top Gear India Special the song was covered by the "Top Gear band"—consisting of presenters Jeremy Clarkson (drums), Richard Hammond (bass guitar) and James May (keyboard) as well as executive producer Andy Wilman (vocals)—during a trade fair in Delhi. For rights reasons, in the DVD version of the episode it is replaced by "Sowing the Seeds of Love" by Tears for Fears.
The Beatles and "Hey Jude" are name checked by Electric Light Orchestra on the track 'Shangri-La' on their 1976 album A New World Record.
In 2014 Steve Miller's cover of the song appeared on The Art of McCartney covers album.

Not the end of the world, certainly, and maybe this photo was supposed to be private, maybe just for friends and family, but is this just an indication of more to come?
Of course, there will be some who will claim it's a photoshopped pic, which is a very slim possibility…about as slim Twiggy was when she first started modeling, but is it? The pixels are not necessarily proof of photoshopping…maybe someone just thought it necessary to blur her nipples. I mean, does anyone seriously believe she was posing pulling her jacket open to reveal a bra, perhaps? Come on, her face says it all: "Look at me, please, look at me! I'm a star! You've been dying to see my breasts! Well, here they are!"
By the way, I know this has been asked before, but WTF is up with all her open-mouth pics? Is this one merely an expression of exuberance or is it just impossible for her to keep her big mouth shut for longer than a few seconds at a time?

well they didn't photoshop it enough -the Smelly Circus is fuggglyyy!!!! her hair and make up are just clownish-so she is skinny-big deal-she has almost no tits-even pushed up she barely has cleavage-in fact the shadow at the top of her pushed up boob is probably photoshopped–and wasn't she ranting about pop singers stripping to sell their sh–t music??? well Smelly has nothing going but her strip covers-her new releases are in the dirt despite having Snoop endorsing one of them-Smelly only made Snoop look like an idiot for collaborating with her-and it is like the biggest laugh out loud joke since Anustain was the "sexiest of all time" when Maxim put the egg on their faces making the Smelling Circus top of the 100 list-what total morons-everyone and everything that touches Smelly just gets brought down to her hillbilly trailer trash level-not the other way around-and if you have to wear an armband that says SEXY on it -it more like wishful thinking-Chaz Bono might think she is sexy-probably popular in Hillcrest and Frisco-but most straight guys don't want to jump Justin Bieber and that's who she looks like

The scope of Ajax Mine has triggered environmental assessment reviews by both the provincial and federal governments, which have independent offices to review projects.
KGHM and Abacus Mining have submitted initial environmental and engineering studies to both offices in Victoria and Ottawa. A public hearing and public input process were conducted in July.
KGHM-Abacus is now in the process of preparing and submitting reports and detailed studies to address concerns raised publicly, as well as by government agencies.
Once complete, it will be submitted to the review agencies, which will trigger a second public review process.
The offices then issue an assessment report to determine if, and how, projects can proceed while meeting environmental and social objectives.
Victoria and Ottawa cabinet ministers will independently issue decisions on whether the project can proceed.
If given the green light, a certificate is issued and the project must continue to meet standards ensured by government monitoring.

The True and Untold History of Smut in America by Jim Linderman. Low Art goes HIGH Art. A True Story every day. NO NUDITY AND NOTHING OBSCENE

Rules of Burlesque Censor Says Net Pants Happy Ray Gets Lucky but Clients Get No Cooch
The rules of burlesque. An original backstage snapshot which provides some guidelines for the girls. Kansas City, 1953, and from the collection of one Happy Ray, a former burlesque comic and emcee turned manager of Connie Ray (which if the photograph I find of Mrs. Ray is true, Happy got lucky...REAL lucky.
Digging around lets you follow Hap's career a bit, with things like "Happy Ray after 12 weeks on the Empire Burly circuit...joined Boob Brasfields company in stock."
The photo, which I purchased from photograph dealer Stonewarezilla on eBay shows a theater manager in Kansas City. Clown feet at left...but I was most interested in the sign of rules.
Kansas City is hardly a place one would think rules mattered too much (being the place where they "got some crazy little women there and I'm going to get me one" after all) but I guess even in somewhat "open" towns the nipple is no no.
In fact, this very sign is mentioned in the book "Striptease: The Untold History of the Girlie Show" by Rachel Shteir on page 248. Ms. Shteir is my kind of writer...in addition to Striptease she's just published a history of shoplifting!
"Net Pants" were nylons which covered the g-string. Net Pants? Pfft. It certainly didn't say anything about net pants on the poster out front!

Personalized M&Ms for Parties
May 1st, 2010 | By Erica | Category: Miscellaneous Balloon StuffEven candy, like these personalized M&Ms, make great decoration ideas for parties. You can order them with words, pictures, and in a choice of colors.
Even candy, like these personalized M&Ms, make great decoration ideas for parties. You can order them with words, pictures, and in a choice of colors.
Once you learn how to make balloon decorations, the next trick is to figure out how to use them to offset your party space. There are a number of ways you can use a balloon arch in your decorations to make a stunning presentation.
Think of a balloon arch as a frame. Anything underneath or between the arch's ends will be highlighted as if it were the picture inside the photo frame.
Ever have a great idea, never do anything about it, and then months later find that someone else had the same idea and ran with it? Several times in the past couple of years I've thought to myself how convenient it would be to buy a whole birthday decorating kit with balloons and have the whole thing show up in a box. Then I found Birthday in a Box – a smart bunch of people who actually follow through on their ideas!
I know a lot of you are looking for great balloon decoration ideas for an upcoming wedding. Well, this video has some beautiful ideas!
Balloons in the shape of a heart can be used for so many different occasions – weddings, anniversaries, Valentine's Day – even just to say I love you. Try a few of these simple balloon heart decorations to dangle from the ceiling or, make a chain of them for a heart link balloon strand that's completely unexpected.
I know, I promised a few posts ago to try and get off the pink and black theme, but then I found this cute video for making pink poodle balloons. I have to share!
Several weeks ago, I purchased an ebook I'd found online about balloon decorations. This was the first ebook I'd ever purchased and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I wanted to find some new ideas for balloon decorations, especially for weddings and anniversary parties.
What a sweet – and simple – balloon flower arch or column idea for birthday party decorations! This video guides you through making a column that is one flower tall, but you can leverage this idea into taller columns, as multiple stand alone flower columns, or as an arch of balloon flowers.
Pink and black balloons make a sophisticated combination perfect for a sweet sixteen theme, a woman's birthday party, or a bridal shower.
Baby showers are so much fun. We all ooh and ah over the tiny little baby clothes, teddy bears, and blankets. Baby shower decorations are dreamy, too, in pale shades of blue, pink, yellow and green or even in today's more modern combinations of brown and pink polka dots. This large baby rattle made of balloons is a great decorating idea.

MikeJanuary 1999 |
I am walking out to the van in which our team came to the Belmont Plaza. As we're walking, our resident jerk -- every team has one -- begins to mock the residents of Belmont. His wrists go limp like soggy noodles; his hips sway from side to side like a hula dancer; his voice becomes high and squeaky like a rusted hinge. It's an act that gets laughter from everyone on the team save the author. I am reflecting on how being gay is now a trendy thing for the humor industry, and is now being adopted by the average Joe/jerk in the street; this has kept me too busy to laugh.
I think that it started with Ellen. Her coming out episode was the highest rated show ABC had that year. It even got me to watch TV -- I generally have no time. But once something becomes popular, whether it's Tickle Me Elmo or a TV show, the popular item spawns a slew of knockoffs. With Tickle Me Elmo, it was other toys like Sing'n'Snore Ernie; with Ellen, it's the recent shows that have introduced the idea of homosexuality for laughs. I haven't yet had time to see Will and Grace, but I have seen recent episodes of Ally McBeal and That 70's Show. These two shows both deal with being gay in very different lights.
In Ally McBeal, Ally scares away an irritating guy by kissing another woman. By implying lesbianism, she drives away the jerk. When he gives her a bible and pamphlets on how to change, she drops them and shudders. I'm glad that the image of a bigot is being mocked. The charming Christians at my old high school were all visible in the bigot, and Ally's response was probably enough to convince her audience that she thinks being gay is okay.
Similarly, That 70's Show also made it okay to be gay. When Eric's best friend kissed him, it wasn't a horrible act of no return; it was just a guy looking for love and finding friendship. I applaud the efforts Hollywood is making to come out. But Hollywood's efforts are giving my idiot teammates the deluded notion that anything gay is funny.
"[It] bothered me," David Sedaris once said, "that they'd found such an easy way to get a laugh. As entertainers, these [people] were nothing, zero." For example, on the van ride home, people pass the time by telling stories. Most of the team's stories involve random sex with random girls in random places. Since they aren't ready to know about my sex life, my stories tend to be far more my neurotic family (I start out with a true incident and expand on it -- so far it's working).
Meanwhile, they talk about the joys of watching lesbians since, "you get a double dose of girls." I've gotten to the point where slurs from ignorant people don't hurt, but they still irk me. None of the gay people I know prance about with spaghetti noodle wrists like in their stories of random people they have beaten up (though I'm sure that stereotypical gay people are out there -- stereotypes exist because some people fit them, after all). I understand that jocks tend to be stupid, but my jerk teammate managed to be a Scholastic All-American in swimming last year -- it's not stupidity but ignorance that fuels his behavior. Something tells me that nothing will change till I'm out to the team, but I'm waiting on that. Frosh Hazing is bad enough without mixing in homophobia. I apologize to everyone who actually stuck with me on this rant.
Mike is a gay college student in California. He swims, studies, and spends a lot of time thinking of unflattering things to say about ignorant straight people. He loves speaking in the third person and reading e-mail; you can reach him at email@example.com

Tourism writes its own ticket
PUBLISHED: 29 Aug 2011 00:01:00 | UPDATED: 29 Aug 2011 06:15:09PUBLISHED: 29 Aug 2011 PRINT EDITION: 29 Aug 2011Andrew Cleary
Tourism Australia sees a need for more high-end resorts.
Tourism Australia has a new role these days – rainmaker.
Images of kangaroos, Uluru and sun-dappled beaches are still in the mix, but the country's peak marketing body is spending as much time hunting for Chinese billionaires with an appetite to invest in Australia as it is in coming up with the next "So where the bloody hell are you" campaign.
As Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce points the airline towards a bold new future in Asia, its former boss, Geoff Dixon, now chairman of Tourism Australia, has been busy travelling the region drumming up interest from investors to develop high-end hotels and resorts.
TA chief Andrew McEvoy said 50,000 hotel rooms needed to be built in the nine years to 2020, and a large chunk of the multi-billion-dollar spending had to come from offshore. His and Mr Dixon's job was to match the money with the project.
"Our role is now rainmaker, facilitator – an understander of consumers and what needs to be built," Mr McEvoy told The Australian Financial Review.
"We want to identify those best-of- breed developers who have done stuff all around the world but not in Australia yet. If they do [want to come here], we'll help identify the opportunities, pave the way, and then get out of the way."
TA and Austrade – the Australian Trade Commission – have always been aligned in their respective roles but have never worked side by side with the same goal, with one marketing the country as a tourist destination and the other advancing the interests of its industries and entrepreneurs offshore.
The two government-funded bodies are now jointly working to identify gaps in tourism infrastructure and match them with interested parties either within the country or overseas, according to Mr McEvoy.
Hayley Baillie, who with husband James owns and manages the luxury properties Capella Lodge and Southern Ocean Lodge, says the industry has been suffering from a lack of investment relative to competitor markets such as New Zealand and Africa.
"There are so few very high-end, iconic properties in Australia – we need more and more of them," she said. "The flow-on effect from iconic properties to the whole tourism industry is huge."
Though there had not been enough Australian investment in the kind of niche hotels and "experiential" properties required to attract more visitors, it was "a great shame that the only way forward seems to be with encouraging offshore investment," Ms Baillie said.
The push for more investment in what Mr McEvoy described as "signature product" is part of TA's 2020 plan, under which it wants to double tourists' overnight spending from $70 billion to $140 billion in the next nine years.
The 50,000 new hotel beds required to drive that growth will consist of everything from three-star inner-city hotels to remote luxury resorts and five-star boutique hotels in Sydney and Melbourne. Mr McEvoy said the tourism body was focusing its involvement in finding the money to match properties that would punch above their weight in terms of marketing appeal.
Once a project and investor had been found, TA and Austrade would try to ensure a smooth process through the planning and approval stages.
"What we can do is build a network with states and territories, including zoning and identifying opportunities where they can build," the Tourism Australia chief said.
"Sydney has sites around the Rocks, and old government buildings, but we need to get the NSW government to really help them."
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell recently announced a renewed focus on tourism and events, after Sydney ceded much ground to Melbourne in the space over the last decade.
Another key part of the 2020 plan is encouraging airlines, particularly Chinese carriers, to increase direct flights to Australia and boost capacity by an estimated 54 per cent. Such a move is unlikely to sit well with Qantas, which last week announced it would cull unprofitable international routes and set up a new carrier offshore amid an influx of foreign competition in Australia.
It's a move Mr McEvoy conceded was not in the interests of the Australian carrier. But he said he had spent as much time making the argument about forging closer aviation links with China to Qantas management as to its competitors.
Twenty-seven million people travelled out of China last year (not including visits to Macau and Hong Kong), and 500,000 of those came to Australia. Though that represented growth of 24 per cent from the previous year, the market was still relatively untapped, Mr McEvoy said.
Attracting a large slice could mean a bigger focus on including Australia's largest casinos in marketing efforts – something Crown chairman and largest shareholder James Packer has been campaigning for this year.
"I think James said a lot of things that are right – Australia has to continue to improve its product. It has to keep improving to meet world standards," said Mr McEvoy, adding that there was "more room" to include casinos in Australia's marketing in a "non-ostentatious" manner.
Operators such as Hayley and James Baillie may not back a new wave of foreign investors but are hoping Tourism Australia's shift in emphasis will mean an influx of cashed-up visitors.
Mr McEvoy said the evolution of the body was essential if Australia wanted to keep up with the pack.
"This industry has spoken too much just about resilience and how to hang in there," he said. "The old conversations were more about ads. Now we're a marketing organisation in the full sense of the word."

By KEVIN JAKAHI
Tribune-Herald sports writer
It was no walk in the park in the latest tuneup for Waiakea harrier Ian McQuate, who had to work hard to extend his league winning streak because something faster than a tiger was on his tail.
It was Kealakehe junior Thunder Frost, who pushed McQuate and provided him with his desired competition in a Big Island Interscholastic Federation cross country meet on a blissful Saturday at Waiakea's fun-run course.
Over three miles, McQuate finished in 17 minutes and 14 second, besting Frost's 17:16 finish and boosting the Warrior senior's record to 3 of 3 among league runners in meets, which don't hold any points that transfer to the one-shot deal that is the BIIF championships.
"In the beginning, two people, one from Honokaa and another from Hawaii Prep, were ahead of me," McQuate said. "I passed them at the first part, and was not sure how close it was and how close someone was behind me.
"I'm used to running this course. There are no obstacles. It's one big hill and it was a little confusing at the beginning because it's different from last year."
Two seconds doesn't seem like a long time, but in a running sport, especially at the finish line, it's a somewhat sizable margin of victory. For comparison's sake, it's not a 35-0 football score, but probably more along the lines of 10-0.
Frost hasn't beaten McQuate is cross country or track, where both are long-distance runners. He figured he's been behind McQuate four or five times. But Frost had reason to feel good about himself.
Kealakehe junior harrier Thunder Frost's 17:16 time in three miles on Saturday, Sept. 14 at Waiakea's course was a personal record.
He can tape that sentence on his bulletin board for motivation. His goal is not to overcome the high hurdle that is McQuate, but doing so would be wonderful. More immediate on Frost's mind is to break his PR barrier.
"This year, I want to break 17 minutes, and a minute more each year," said Frost, blessed with a first name perfect for his sport. "I used to not like it. I got a lot of grief, like, 'Oh, is your brother's name Lightning?' But now, I'm used to it. I like it."
Angela and Ken Frost, a security officer at the Kona International Airport, didn't name any of their eight children Lightning. But Angela, a homemaker, came up with a few creative names. There's adopted daughter Aunhesti (sounds like honesty); son Nauvoo, 11 years old; daughter Zion, 13; and son Sky, a Kealakehe senior.
She said the birth mother thought up the name, and the Frost family, who moved here five years ago from Nevada, liked Aunhesti as well. But she saves her best name story for her son Thunder.
"Thunder sounds like God's power," Angela said. "It fits his personality. He was loud, too. When he was born, there was a lot of thunder and lightning, and it reminded us of God's power.
"It's awesome with eight kids. I love having a large family. They love each other, take care of each other, work together, and being part of a big family there's a lot more to love. The more, the better."
Thunder is slender only in size, not in his thinking.
He's adventurous and is contemplating joining the wresting team for the winter season, giving up soccer, which he played the last two years. He probably wouldn't have to worry much about making the 108-pound weight class.
When the seasons change, Thunder takes his long-distance durability to track's 1,500 and 3,000 meter runs. He also knows himself, too, what he's best at.
"I don't have speed," he said. "I have endurance. The longer the race, the better for me."
Last year at the BIIF championships, Thunder finished seventh, which earned him an All-BIIF first team selection for cross country. (The top seven are first team; other meet times don't count.)
Setting a PR is an accomplishment for Thunder or anyone. But chasing down and passing a ghost that can't be caught would likely also set a PR. McQuate doesn't yield for anyone. That's one major reason he's 3 for 3 among his BIIF competition.
"He's beaten me every time," Thunder said. "I've never beaten him in cross country or track. He's crazy. He's super good. To beat Ian, I would have to PR and do my best. I haven't gotten there yet.
"I have to train super hard and put in more work to get better. Other than team stuff, I jump rope. That's my little thing. It helps my turn-over."
Then there was a ghost story he shared.
At the BIIF track and field championships last season, Thunder was disqualified in the 3,000 meters. There was no grate along the track's edge and he stepped on a line. His time was 9:50, which would have been good for second and behind the winner — McQuate.
Asked what he thinks when he sees his old rival Warrior finish ahead of him, Thunder gave an answer that is fitting to his large family's values.
"I don't mind, as long as I PR each time," said Thunder Frost, who had a personal record of 17:16 in three miles on Saturday, Sept. 14 at Waiakea's course.

Why the elimination of a tax break could spell the end of glory days for Spanish club soccer.
MADRID, Spain — The end of the Stars' League. That is what some say will happen if a new law makes the best foreign soccer players in Spain contribute more of their salaries in taxes.
"The Spanish league, now one of the best in the world, will become a vulgar league unable to draw the best players," said Javier Tebas, vice president of LFP, Spain's professional soccer league.
Currently, foreign soccer players enjoy a legal exemption under which they are required to pay only 24 percent of their salaries in taxes. If the new legislation passes, they would be required to pay 43 percent — which is what Spaniards, including fellow soccer players, in that salary range pay.
The tax break was initially passed in 2002 with the goal of luring prized scientists, reputed academics and top-level executives. It applies to impatriates earning more than 600,000 euros a year. But it soon became known as "Ley Beckham," illustrating who most notoriously took advantage of it.
British soccer player David Beckham was the first to see his salary taxed in a lower bracket when he signed for Real Madrid in 2003. Superstars signing up this year like Brazilian Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, better known as Kaka, and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo — both Real Madrid players — as well as the Swede, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is a forward for Barcelona, enjoy a similar tax break on their salaries ranging from a reported $13 to $19 million.
In 2008, 43 out of 60 impatriates who declared salaries of more than 600,000 euros were soccer players, according to the Ministry of Economy.
These soccer clubs are taking the most advantage of the tax provision, because, in most cases, players negotiate a net salary, and the clubs pay the athletes' taxes.
Spain reportedly has the lowest income tax rate for foreign soccer players in Europe. But, if the amendment is approved the last week of December, then starting on Jan. 1, Spanish clubs would either have to put more money on the table to "import" new soccer stars, or future top foreign players in the Spanish league would have to accept lower salaries. The measure would not affect players who are already in Spain.
"This can do serious damage to the competitive capacities of our soccer," said Barcelona's president, Joan Laporta. He also said the sport is a big asset to Spain's GNP. Spanish media reported Laporta saying that "those affected" by the new legislation should have been consulted.

Although it is clear that Americans should maintain their fat intake at about 30 percent of their total calories, it is less clear what kind of fat should be consumed. Should one use corn oil, fish oil, or, as was used in previous generations, lard? Our research program has addressed this issue and, in particular, the role of fats found in fish oil on risk factors associated with heart disease. The frequent consumption of fish has been linked to a decrease in mortality from heart disease. It is thought that this beneficial effect is derived from two specific fatty acids found in fish fat, eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid. While there may be beneficial effects from eating these types of fat, there may also be negative effects, since these fatty acids have a molecular structure that makes them easily oxidized. In food, this leads to rancidity. In the body, oxidized fatty acids are associated with heart disease, aging, diabetes, and cancer. It is thought that this oxidative process can be prevented or slowed with vitamin E, but the amount required for this is not known. Consequently, we conducted a study with 48 postmenopausal women, since they have a risk of heart disease as high or even higher than males of a similar age, and we have very little knowledge about factors to modify their risk. All of the women were given a daily supplement of fish oil containing an amount comparable to that present in a 6-ounce serving of Chinook salmon. The women were divided into four groups and given a vitamin E supplement. During the study all groups received, but in a different order, no extra vitamin E, 100 IU, 200 IU, or 400 IU each day. The amount of vitamin E in blood was measured after taking the supplements. The smallest dose of vitamin E, 100 IU, increased the amount in the blood greatly but the next two doses, 200 and 400 IU, only slightly increased the amount. The ability of the vitamin E to decrease the oxidation of the fatty acids in the consumed fish oil was measured in five ways. Only two indicated that there was a benefit in taking the vitamin E supplements. Collectively, these data suggest that vitamin E supplements are of limited usefulness in the protection from increased oxidation when fish oil is consumed. In our laboratory, we are also studying the role of EPA and DHA on the immune response, the role of the fatty acids in olive oil on risk factors for heart disease in Type II diabetic postmenopausal women, cardiovascular risk factors in premenopausal black and white women, and the fat content of breast milk from women from New Zealand and China.Last updated November, 1996 Return to Nutrition-Related Research page Honoring a Scientific Giant with Research Toward Longer, Better Lives

& so it begins
Re: The All Encompassing FIRE KUBIAK thread
I think we dug ourselves in a hole early. The refs didn't help. We shouldn't blame the refs, & I'm not, only the way our team responded. They acted like a young team. & while the play calling left some to be desired, if Matt would learn about ball placement, made some better throws, or if anyone but Andre could catch a ball..... this game would have been different.
I'm not going to let this game get me down. We lost. It's just another L in the L column. But I tell you what. We're not going to win the SuperBowl running the ball. Not with this OL. We need to spend the next three weeks getting Matt into rhythm. |

Re: The All Encompassing FIRE KUBIAK thread
I compared the Texans to the Chargers of a few years ago in the Gameday thread. It looks like we're gonna be one of "those" teams. Teams with good talent, that put up great stats, go the playoffs for several years, and ultimately win absolutely nothing. Moon/Oilers, Tomlinson/Chargers, Reggie Miller/Pacers, even the Killer B's/Astros.

I'll be back for the play offs and maybe I'll be rejuvinated, but Despite our nice record i haven't been a fan of what weve done this year. This game was the tipping point. I've seen all I've needed to see from this team. I don't care what they do against the colts or Vikings. Really...could t care less...it means nothing...they could lose or win all three.... The next big game for us is in the play offs. That's the next game that matters. |

I remember one poster on here all last week who rubbed my nose in my idea that this was going to be a potentially BAD BAD game for us.
I think that guy is here now, trying to say everything that he could have said last week...but was too busy trying to be Super Fan and trying to clown me over everything under the moon he could think to do to me. Yeah, I'm sure of it. He's here. Typical horsecrap.

"There is a significant difference between Tom Brady and ANYBODY ELSE I have seen this whole year."
- Steve Young, just now in the post-game show at Foxboro. Echo'd my statements I made tonight. The guy is all-universe, especially in December AT HOME and especially when the stakes are high and it's against a really good team. I wish people wouldn't be as hard on our team as they are. I was at that point after the GB game this year, and all the Texans did was just reel off countless wins in many fashions--Grinded out games, blew out the Ravens, OT wins back-to-back in under 5 days. Swept jags, Swept titans. And can sweep colts, too.

Re: The All Encompassing FIRE KUBIAK thread
C'mon guys!
Nobody on this board really ever believed all the hype about us having the best team in the NFL or being able to beat the Patriots did you?. And we know that if Kubiak didn't get fired after 6-10 there is no way he gets fired regardless of what happens this year. I can say this.....Texans lose first play-off game they have to actually play this year. We just don't have a super bowl caliber team. I've felt this in my gut all year.

Opposing qb's have had good games against us. It's just that guys lime Brady and rivers have been lights out. Heck, even back to last year Brees took us to the woodshed. Mark Sanchez looked competent against us. Stafford lit us up...Henne I'm relief duty...Tannehill in his first game ever wasn't as bad as watt made him look with those tips. Manning struck us up. The teams we face in the play offs will be closer to the patriots than they are to the jags and titans... When you are at the level the texans want us to believe they are at, those games against non play off teams mean a lot less... We can get our stuff together, but that's nothing but a hope and a wish at this point |

This one is on Kubiak. May have not mattered but the bottom line is he absolutely did not put us in the best position to win. He called a piss poor game and the for the first time ever I'm calling him out about it. Yes stupid ass penalties( 3 illegal blocks on returns) bogus ass pass interference calls, etc.., but the most glaring weakness to me was the offensive play calling.

Re: The All Encompassing FIRE KUBIAK thread
There's just always this "Oh yeah? We'll get you NEXT time!" mindset by a Kubiak-led team.
That works against lesser teams. You can be down to the Jags and claw your way back. You can be down to the Lions and make them crack under the weight of their own pressure, and win that game too. You cannot bring anything but your very best and expect to stand a chance against the Patriots. Tonight, I felt the air was let out of our tires when KJ failed to secure that loose ball near the EZ. After that, it was a TD and you could sense that the Texans had given up (mentally) and were coasting from there. They went into the mode of "Yeah, we're still 11-2 and can win HFA in the next 3 games."

No doubt, both Gary & Wade deserve some criticism & blame.... but the 52+ guys who took the field deserve a little bit as well.

Two things I didn't like about the playcalling.

If we don't destroy Indy next week I'm busting out the soap again. I thought keeping Kubiak on after 2 years ago was a bad decision, and extending him again was a bad decision.

We be idiots to fire him now, but come February and yes, pending the outcome, Kubes' job needs to be re-evaluated.
He simply is not a coach in line with those that bring Championships. We've seen this time and time again. The only difference between this Kubes and the 6-10 Kubes is he has more to work with now, it doesn't mean he is a better coach. I can drive a Prius, but I can look better and make a Maserati look a lot better even though I'm the same driver as I was with the Prius.

Wow, I thought the same thing this morning.
I knew as soon as the Pats went up 21-0, it was over.

Independence Versus Safety: Housing Options in Later Life
by Amanda Woodland, Caregiver Specialist
"Embedded in most of our rules and regulations is the idea that Long Term Care should aspire to be the best possible quality of life as is consistent with health and safety. But ordinary people may prefer the best health and safety outcomes possible that are consistent with a meaningful quality of life."*
This juxtaposition is at the heart of the dilemma of safety versus independence that haunts many family members and caregivers when it comes to the question of whether older adults can continue to live safely in their own home, or whether family should consider alternatives. What do you do when mom starts leaving the stove on, when dad can no longer see well enough to drive safely, and you start to wonder if it is wise for them to go down those steep basement steps every time they need to do laundry?
"Aging in Place"
Research has shown that most seniors who own their own homes prefer to "age in place." Many different types of assistance, from housework and meal preparation to personal care and medication monitoring, can be provided through social service or private home care agencies. There are also agencies offering medical or nursing services, but these tend to be costly. Medicare and most health insurances will not cover "custodial" care (help with bathing and dressing, chores, or supervising someone with memory problems), which is often precisely what is needed. Seniors who are low income may be eligible for COPES, a Medicaid program that pays for a variety of services tailored to help keep the individual living as independently as possible, but COPES does not provide 24-hour care.
To ensure continued safety in the home, people often consider retrofitting, which includes adding grab bars and rails, building ramps, widening doorways, and installing lifts or other types of equipment to accommodate disabling medical events that limit mobility. General contractors usually carry out this type of renovation. There may be limited financial help available for some minor home repairs; check with Senior Services of King County for specific programs. AARP has developed the Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) program to help homeowners who need to remodel their home to address accessibility issues. You can find more information in the home design section of the AARP web site.
Assisted Living
If living at home becomes risky, there are a number of options to consider. All have their pros and cons. Assisted living facilities are the choice of some individuals and couples. Assisted living offers the advantages of the opportunity for activities, socialization and congregate dining, while residents still retain privacy in their own rooms or apartments and can choose the level of help they need from within the suite of services that the facility offers. On the downside, they can be very expensive, vary considerably in the kind of assistance they offer, and the industry remains largely unregulated. Assisted living facilities do not offer skilled care, and generally require a certain amount of independence on the resident's part.
Adult Family Homes
Adult family homes are smaller, licensed to provide care to up to six residents, and can provide a more homelike atmosphere. Many specialize in dementia or other severely disabling conditions. Placement agencies can be very helpful in selecting either the right assisted living or adult family home, by matching up the senior's needs to the home that offers it.
Nursing Homes
Nursing homes are designed to provide help to people who require 24-hour care, including those who require too much skilled assistance or supervision to stay at home. Check out the Nursing Home Compare resource of the Medicare website to look at inspection reports for skilled nursing facilities in your area, and information on how to choose a nursing home. The drawback with most mainstream nursing homes is that they tend to homogenize services, and their necessary emphasis on safety regulations can infringe on individual needs.
Whatever type of living arrangement you are looking into, it is crucial to thoroughly research your options ahead of time. Senior Services of King County is a good place to start for information on selecting different living arrangements, or maintaining the current home of you or your family member. You can also talk with Crisis Clinic's Caregiver Specialist to help you look into different options that address your unique needs.
