InnVest REIT Reports Fourth Quarter Results
Friday, March 11, 2011
InnVest REIT Reports Fourth Quarter Results08:00 EST Friday, March 11, 2011TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 11, 2011) - InnVest Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") and InnVest Operations Trust ("IOT"), collectively "InnVest" (TSX:INN.UN), today announced financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010."We are long-term investors in quality hotel real estate. Many of the initiatives undertaken this year are investments in our future success. These have included notable profit-improving capital expenditures in key markets and assets, organizational enhancements to help focus our people on driving revenues, and adapting our corporate structure to protect cash flows for our unitholders," commented Kenneth Gibson, InnVest's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have seen consistent improvement through the year led by occupancy gains and expect average daily rate gains to follow as demand and confidence continue to improve."InnVest has postponed its previously scheduled conference call to follow the closing of its outstanding public offering of stapled convertible debentures and stapled units. Details of the revised conference call are included below.Fourth Quarter HighlightsSubsequent to the year end, InnVest announced an agreement to issue $50.0 million 5.75% stapled convertible debentures due in 2018 and $25.2 million in equity at a price of $7.00 per stapled unit; Completed an internal reorganization to become a Qualifying REIT on December 31, 2010; Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") increased 3.0% led by a 1.8 point improvement in occupancy which offset a modest 0.2% decline in average daily rate ("ADR"). Excluding the displacement caused by renovations at two full-service hotels, RevPAR growth would have approximated 4.0%; Hotel operating income ("HOI") was down 2.0% to $27.2 million. Excluding the renovation displacement and non-recurring hotel expenses incurred, HOI would have increased 6.6%; Net income totaled $164.1 million compared to a net loss of $24.8 million in the prior period. The variance primarily reflects the benefit of a non-cash future income tax recovery of $187.6 million following InnVest's reorganization to a Qualifying REIT; FFO and distributable income were down $3.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, reflecting the lower HOI achieved as well as higher interest expense given higher convertible debenture debt balances outstanding during the quarter; and Invested $15.3 million in the portfolio in profit-improving projects in key markets and assets.

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, hotel revenues increased by 2.6% to $148.4 million. Over this period, RevPAR increased 3.0% with a 1.8 point increase in overall occupancy offsetting a modest 0.2% ADR decline. Operating results during the quarter were negatively affected by renovation displacement as a result of ongoing room renovations at the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary and the start of room renovations at the Hilton Quebec. Excluding these two hotels, fourth quarter RevPAR growth would have approximated 4.0%. Renovations at both hotels are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2011.Room revenues during the quarter increased $2.8 million, or 2.6%, to $109.4 million. Ontario experienced the strongest growth led by the Greater Toronto Area which saw RevPAR increase over 13%. The Toronto downtown core continues to benefit from strong corporate demand. Increases were experienced across the Quebec region led by growth in both occupancy and rate. Results in Atlantic Canada were relatively unchanged with strength in New Brunswick and Newfoundland offsetting declines in Prince Edward Island. The decline in Western Canada was driven by displacement at the Fairmont Palliser which saw its RevPAR down approximately 15% during the quarter.For the three months ended December 31, 2010, non-room revenues totalled $39.0 million, up $1.0 million or 2.6% compared to the prior year reflecting the increased occupancy achieved.Hotel expenses for the fourth quarter increased $4.4 million or 3.7% when compared to 2009. Hotel expenses include non-recurring operating restructuring charges and sales training initiatives totalling approximately $1.3 million. Excluding this amount, hotel expenses would have increased 2.6% during the quarter reflecting costs associated with increased occupancies of 1.8 points (a 3.3% increase from the prior period).For the three months ended December 31, 2010, InnVest generated HOI of $27.2 million, down $0.6 million or 2.0% as compared to the prior year. Excluding the renovations displacement and non- recurring hotel expenses incurred, HOI would have increased 6.6%. Fourth quarter hotel operating income margins were down 90 basis points to 18.3%.Other income and expenses for the fourth quarter decreased $18.4 million as compared to the prior year. Fourth quarter expenses include a non-cash $5.9 million writedown relating to one hotel which may not renew its existing license agreement, as compared to a $29.8 million writedown of hotel properties in the prior period. Excluding this non-cash variance, other expenses increased $5.5 million reflecting $2.2 million in costs associated with the SIFT transition and $2.2 million in increased interest expenses given higher convertible debenture balances outstanding. During the third quarter of 2010, InnVest refinanced one mortgage which included a $95.0 million mortgage paydown. Yield maintenance costs related to the early repayment are being expensed evenly to February 2011, the original maturity date. This has largely offset the incremental interest savings realized from the mortgage reduction.During the fourth quarter, InnVest became a Qualifying REIT pursuant to the SIFT rules and, accordingly, reversed $187.6 million of future income tax expense previously recognized.The fourth quarter of 2010 contributed distributable income of $3.9 million ($0.044 per unit diluted) and FFO of $8.4 million ($0.093 per unit diluted).Twelve months ended December 31, 2010For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, hotel revenues are relatively unchanged at $609.6 million. Year-to-date, RevPAR increased 1.2% with a 1.2 point increase in overall occupancy offsetting a 0.7% decline in ADR.For the year, InnVest generated HOI of $137.2 million, down 3.1% or $4.4 million as compared to the prior year. Limited revenue growth was offset with increased operating costs including a number of non- recurring charges in the fourth quarter and one-time savings recognized in the prior period. For the year, hotel operating income margins declined 80 basis points to 22.5% reflecting the lower ADR achieved combined with non-recurring operating costs incurred.InnVest generated annual FFO of $61.2 million ($0.673 per unit diluted) and distributable income of $42.2 million ($0.469 per unit diluted). InnVest's payout ratio for the year approximated 105.2% (101.2% excluding the DRIP).BALANCE SHEET REVIEWAt December 31, 2010, InnVest has cash on hand totalling $12.8 million and $32.6 million available under its credit facility.InnVest had mortgages payable of $834.0 million with a weighted average term of 2.8 years and a weighted average interest rate of 6.0%. InnVest has no mortgage maturities until September 2011.During the third quarter of 2010, InnVest successfully completed the early one-year extension of a mortgage originally scheduled to mature in February 2011. As part of the early refinancing, InnVest repaid $95.0 million of mortgage principal plus yield maintenance and other fees funded by cash on hand. This early renewal enabled InnVest to secure its one-year extension interest rate on the remaining principal of $170.0 million beginning February 28, 2011 at a rate of 3.51%. The mortgage includes one additional one-year extension (to February 28, 2013), at InnVest's option, subject to certain minimum thresholds at the time of maturity.At December 31, 2010, InnVest's gross book value leverage excluding and including convertible debentures was 38.3% and 50.0%, respectively.Capital expenditures during the year totalled $39.4 million compared to the FF&E reserve of $25.1 million. Investments reflect a number of profit-improving projects, including guestroom renovations at the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary as well as the completion of meeting space renovations and the beginning of room renovations at the Hilton Quebec City. In addition, investments included Holiday Inn's brand re- launch at a number of hotels, as well as the conversion of one hotel to the Holiday Inn brand.On February 22, 2011, InnVest announced an agreement to issue $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% stapled convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due March 30, 2018 and 3,600,000 stapled units at a price of $7.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $25.2 million. Net proceeds will be used to fund capital improvements, to fund potential future acquisitions and for general trust purposes. Closing is expected to occur on or about March 15, 2011.INCOME TAX DEFERRAL PERCENTAGEFor 2010, 67.0% of unitholder distributions will not be taxable to unitholders.QUALIFYING REIT PROCESSOn December 31, 2010, the REIT completed an internal reorganization in order to become a Qualifying REIT under Canadian income tax rules applicable to specified investment flow-through entities ("SIFT"s). The purpose of the reorganization was to increase unitholder value by adopting a structure that allows the REIT to continue to flow through its income to unitholder without being subject to entity-level taxation.Under the reorganization, the REIT transferred all of its directly and indirectly held operating assets to IOT, a newly-formed taxable investment trust. Following this transaction, IOT holds the operating assets, earns revenues from hotel customers and pays rent to the REIT (the owner of the hotels). IOT also indirectly holds a 50% interest in Choice Hotels Canada Inc. and earns revenues from franchising fees.On December 31, 2010, each REIT unitholder received one non-voting IOT unit for each REIT unit held. Each issued and outstanding REIT unit now trades together with a non-voting IOT unit on a "stapled" basis on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol INN.UN.INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS ("IFRS")As previously disclosed, InnVest intends to revalue its hotel properties as at January 1, 2010 under the deemed cost election available under IFRS. InnVest expects that the impact of the deemed cost election will be a reduction in the carrying value of its IFRS opening balance sheet hotel properties as at January 1, 2010 of approximately $200 to $230 million.The fair value adjustment upon conversion to IFRS as at January 1, 2010, as well as the elimination of the accumulated depreciation balance, will adversely impact InnVest's leverage ratio. Although there is no increase in actual debt outstanding, the adjustment will result in an increase to InnVest's reported gross book value leverage. As a result, InnVest expects to amend its Declaration of Trust to address its leverage restrictions. Interest and debt coverage ratios are not expected to be materially impacted.QUARTERLY CONFERENCE CALLDue to disclosure restrictions relating to the pending closing of its public offering on March 15, 2011, management has postponed its conference call previously scheduled for Friday March 11, 2011 at 11:00am. Management will now host a conference call on Wednesday March 16, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. Investors are invited to access the call by dialing 416-340-2216 or 1-877-240-9772.

Publisher's Description
Seventeen million people in the United States suffer from clinical depression, and more than fifty million people find themselves in prolonged emotional lows. Now, for every sufferer, there is hope. Not only are effective counseling methods available to treat depression, but also researchers have made great strides in understanding the chemical makeup of the brain. Mood Swings helps readers understand the causes of "bipolar-related disorders"-and find effective ways to treat the problem, recover the joy they've lost, and return to a far more normal, balanced perspective on life. The doctors discuss the extremes and the in-betweens of depression, and show how the highs and lows of uncontrollable mood swings trap the sufferer in a cycle of dysfunction.Mood Swings offers hope to everyone who suffers depression and helps those who love them understand and treat this troubling problem.

As long as there is no true revolution, women in Islamic countries will remain second-class citizens, believes the controversial Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy. Claudia Kramatschek introduces her recent bookMore
Ever since the attacks of 9/11 and the rise of political Islam, the relationship between Islam and violence has presented a fundamental challenge for Muslims. Merely distancing itself from terrorism is not enough for an in-depth confrontation with the subject. Some voices on the Islamic spectrum are taking things further. They endorse a completely non-violent stance, and are also finding theological justification for their approach. By Claudia MendeMore

At a time when Palestinian–Israeli relations are at a particularly low ebb, it might seem over-optimistic to argue that the divisions between the people on the two sides are less than they seem, and that a "people's peace process" could lead to a just solution.

"Chicago MusicSpotlight - Reverbnation Artist: The PondHawks have gained a loyal following through their genre smashing style. This Chicago indie band is truly an experience. The PondHawks are an original band from Chicago who are changing the style of pop/rock music. Catchy melodies are exhilaratingly fresh and Beatlesque. The songs are delightfully infectious with playful lyricism that is exuberant and gutsy. The band's arsenal of music takes the listener on an eclectic journey into Indie Rock spirited by Classic Rock influences that transcend the boundaries of contemporary music. You wouldn't be completely wrong if you said The PondHawks have created a new music genre. The band has a unique contemporary retro rock sound with signature vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Beatles, ELO and Wings. Their albums have a bit of humor, ear candy, stellar rock 'n' roll and outstanding musical finesse. The PondHawks are currently the #1 ranked Indie band in Chicago."

Review: This place smells of meat. I had high hopes for this place, especially because of its convienent location. Sure, there are a couple nice employees, but the few that are rude, ruined the entire experience for me. I've given it several chances, always walking out with regret that I spent a few dollars. If you're vegan, don't bother with this place, there's meat everywhere and it stinks.

Home Maidstone News Article
The plan has identified 50 specific sites for development as well as a number of larger strategic areas.
However all the allocations so far identified only take the council to a figure of 16,700 new homes by the end of the planning period in 2031, and it proposing a target of 19,600 new homes, leaving plenty more to find.
So far 140 possible sites submitted by landowners or developers have been rejected as unsuitable, including Fant Farm; Cross Keys at Bearsted;
Cripple Street, Loose, and Ware Street, Thurnham.
The leader of the council, Cllr Chris Garland (Con), said: "The loss of grade 1 agricultural land at Fant Farm was not acceptable, and Cross Keys is known for its flooding.
"Development at Cripple Street and at Ware Street would have had an unacceptable impact on our countryside, and we are determined to protect the natural beauty of the borough as far as possible."
The Draft Local Plan also contains policies on affordable housing, transport, business and retail provision and gypsy sites.
The pubic consultation will start on Friday, March 21. Residents will have the opportunity to view the plans and speak to planning officers, and can join in workshops or take part in the online consultation.
Council spokesman Roger Adley said: "The Maidstone Borough Local Plan will give Maidstone council the power to reject inappropriate development.
"In order for the Planning Inspector to approve the plan, the council must prove that it has done all it can to meet the borough's objectively-assessed housing need.
"Consultants G L Hearn carried out the housing needs assessment for the council, identifying a need for 19,600 homes for the period 2011-2031.
"If space cannot be found for this many homes, the council must be able to submit evidence as to why this is the case – or risk having the Local Plan rejected."

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are a couple of ways that you, the driver, can alter driving tendencies in order to maximize your vehicle's fuel efficiency.
As many of us know, our cars are most fuel efficient on the highway. This is because on the highway our speed is usually fairly consistent. Operating a vehicle at a continuous (or regular) momentum and smoothly is very important for saving gas. When accelerating or decelerating is necessary, doing so gradually will be beneficial to the readings on your gas gauge.
Next, it is very important to be sure that your tires are inflated sufficiently. If your tires do not have enough air in them if is possible that your automobile's fuel efficiency to decrease by 3.3%, says the U.S. Department of Energy.
To learn more about how to check your tire pressure, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/
Also, the U.S. Department of Energy tells us that another way to reduce excess gas usage is to reduce the transportation load of our vehicles. In particular, lugging excessive weight or unneeded items around is burning more gas and cutting into your pockets. It is possible to save up to 2% on your gas spending for every 100 pounds you decrease in your vehicle's transportation load.
Another recommended practice is to obey the manufacturer'
Gas prices seem to be on a continuous rise and these simple adjustments can save you hundreds of dollars over the course of a year. Don't spend money that you don't need to spend. Use these gas saving tips and ultimately, save lots of money!

Check Out Our Reviews
What a wonderful experience and beautiful floors! I am so happy with my flooring from Flack's. I had Hardwood and Laminate Vinyl Tile installed, as well as a carpeted stairway. Every person I dealt with was knowledgeable and friendly. Brandon in sales was patient and worked with me to choose options within my budget. The installers went out of there way and went the extra mile, thank you Cristobol, Cleo and their crews. It was a large job in a home being lived in, no easy task. I would recommend Flack's to anyone in the area in search of a reputable flooring company with the latest flooring products at competitive prices.
Flacks is head and shoulders above the rest!! We are new to the area...so of course we shopped around...but Brandon was so knowledgeable and professional, that we knew he was the right person to work with. After receiving multiple quotes from other locations - Flacks sealed the deal. We had a rather complex job for them - combining the refinishing of existing flooring, and adding new flooring in an adjoining space, but Brandon spent time with us in our home and together we all came up with a plan. The Flacks team executed the entire job in a timely and efficient manner - on schedule - and with ongoing communication all along the way. Brad is the owner of the company and we even heard from him consistently to both schedule and check in. Totally - "hands on"...you won't find that in any "big box" business! The results were terrific and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. We will return to Flacks in the future...but if you are looking for total satisfaction - don't commit to another company without a visit to Flacks!!
We bought several products from Flacks and have been very happy with our purchases. Amy was our salesperson and she was great to work with. We bought vinyl flooring for a bathroom/hallway and carpet squares for a home gym. We installed those products ourselves and the floors look great. We purchased an in-stock carpet remnant for a den and had Flacks install it. The install was scheduled for just a few days later. The installers showed up on time and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Flacks for all your flooring purchases.

text: Mobile Evernote unleashes Skitch on iPhone, screenshotters everywhere rejoice September 19, 2012 10:20 AM John Koetsier 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. If you take and annotate screenshots on a Mac, chances are you use Evernote's recent acquisition, the super-simple Skitch. Today, Evernote released Skitch for iPhone, and the mobile version of the software has exactly the same ease of use and personality, perfectly adapted for smaller screens. The Stitch iPhone app joins the already-released Android app, which, in just over a month, already has over five million downloads. Above: I am not, actually, there.Image Credit: John Koetsier (Little confession: I've used Skitch for years and love it. So yes, this is a bit of a fanboy moment.) Similarly to its desktop cousin, Skitch for iPhone allows you to annotate an image. The app allows you to start from a new photo taken within Skitch, an existing photo or screenshot from the phone's library, a live map via Google Maps (soon to be, presumably, Apple's replacement), or a live web capture. Alternatively, you can start with a complete tabula rasa. Skitch shines not so much as a sketching tool or a prototyping tool, although you can use it for both those purposes (and I have), but as a quick annotation utility to highlight or illuminate a key fact. Particularly helpful for Evernote users is that you can sync your Skitch images to Evernote, which keeps all your documents neatly organized in one place. In addition, because Skitch is now part of Evernote, the app benefits from the same image recognition and word detection that makes text within images — even handwriting — searchable. The Android version lacks the live web capture feature. For those who have the latest version of Android — 4.1.x Jelly Bean — that's not a huge problem. They can simply take a screenshot, access it in their photo library, and annotate away. Those with older versions of Android who have not rooted their phones for screenshot capability may miss this feature, although it doesn't seem to have hurt the Android download numbers. Here's Evernote's typically whimsical intro video of Skitch for iPhone: photo credit: jcsizmadi via photo pin cc VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Off-Campus Housing:
Hudson is amazing but pricey and hard to get. ugates isn't bad but its not the nicest
Off-Campus Dining:
there are quite a few options but if you don't have much money it isn't what i would spend it on
Party Scene:
I would say if you know the right people you won't have any problem finding parties
I really haven't had any interactions with them to really know.
I could definitely use more scholarships but they aren't as easy to get
Campus Food:
There really isn't much food choices but you make the most of it and we have the galley which is a food convenience store that you can buy more foods with your meal plan which is nice
Campus Housing:
college housing, its what you expect, small but managable. I lived in the suit of almy so it definitely wasn't as bad.
Off-Campus Housing:
Most people just live at the apartments right across the street or in houses with a few of their friends. There's not much else going on in Erie, but you don't need much else!
Off-Campus Dining:
Peach Street is the main strip in Erie, with tons of restaurants (most importantly a Chipotle) and tons of shopping. It's about 5 minutes from campus so as long as you have a car or a friend with a car it's easy to get to.
Behrend is a dry campus, and the policies are very strict in that regard, but people usually don't get caught unless they're super loud or being really obnoxious. The RAs are really cool and are easy to get along with. Most of the other policies, like attendance are pretty lax and that makes 8 AMs really nice (to not go to).
Party Scene:
We don't always have huge 'ragers', but as long as you have a good group of friends, you'll have a great time!
Campus Food:
I like all the food on campus. I have a food allergy and Behrend makes it easy to tell what I can eat and what I should avoid. Sometimes the workers know how to avoid my allergy and sometimes they mess it up, but it has never caused a huge issue. Dobbins, our all you can eat place, tends to start shutting things down 30 minutes before closing- which is usually when I need to eat there. That's my only complaint! I always feel like I have options when it comes to mixing up my meals.
Campus Housing:
I live in the upperclass/honors housing here at Penn State Behrend, and I've never had any complaints about my living conditions. They have a maid service to clean the bathrooms, I have plenty of room, and the dorms are so quiet. The freshman dorms are louder and have less room, but I haven't heard anyone with huge complaints about that either!
Off-Campus Dining:
It is a small town, not really many choices out there let us to choose.
Some Resident assistants are really strict whereas some others are not.
Party Scene:
The campus is small, so there isnt much party going on unless it is off campus.
Campus Food:
It is generally fine. It has variety. However, the base fee is a bit too much and i also think school could add more healthy choices for students to eat.
Campus Housing:
Its okay. The internet is fast, there is quiet time so that people could follow up and enjoy the quiet hours.
some rotten apples but overall good people
not alot to go around.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are many different choices for off campus apartments, but usually only make sense if you have a car.
Off-Campus Dining:
Behrend is very isolated, so reaching any off-campus dining option is impossible without a car, or taking the bus. However, if you take the bus, you can go to the Millcreek Mall, which has a plethora of dining options. And if you have a car, you can go to any fast food or restaurant on Buffalo Road. Most places near Behrend accept Lion Cash, and most chains have some sort of college student discount.
Behrend's main problem is the fact that its a dry campus, so even if you are 21, being intoxicated or having alcohol visible in your dorm can get you in trouble. While it does only include a fine and repeat offenses require an education class, it still is a ridiculous rule and one that gets people in trouble. That said, most RAs are understanding and are more concerned with your well being and that you're safe rather than getting you in trouble.
Penn State's financial aid process is usually straight forward and easy to understand.
Party Scene:
There is usually something to do on the weekends on campus. You can check out the on-campus "Behrend After Dark" events (you pay for it anyway, might as well go!) or go off campus and check out what's going on at the apartments. I haven't been to many parties, but its pretty much what you'd expect. Nothing really exciting. UGates is the closest, but is always busted.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, most students seem to be very happy at Behrend. In fact, a lot of students who plan on transferring to University Park end up changing their minds and staying at Behrend. Students tend to think of Behrend as a great place or a comfortable setting. Students who are not happy at here blame it on the small size and lack of proximity to more fun things to do. Some Behrend students say it begins to feel like being in high school again after four years, but a lot of that depends on who you hang out with.
Behrend is definitely a small school, so anyone looking for a huge school should look elsewhere, but anyone interested in a moderately sized school with an extremely friendly student body and devoted and kind professors will be right at home here. Students who enjoy the idea of forming close bonds with professors, doing undergraduate research, and being able to visit professors whenever they need to will love the academic side of Behrend. People who want to get involved in campus activities also will love Behrend. Finally, anyone can feel comfortable at Behrend and find his or her niche. Behrend students are extremely accepting of anyone, and it is very easy to make friends in and out of class.

For the past two years, I have compiled a list of ideas for giving gifts to people with Parkinson's disease. It's been a fairly popular post and so this year, I'm compiling all my finds and/or ideas of what to give to someone with Parkinson's disease – or any chronic illness, for that matter.
You can either make or shop for this gift: a chair organizer. With the patient feeling less like getting out as their disease progresses (or even up), this is a great idea to keep things close at hand.
A 'Flexi-reach' is a patented stick with some grabber thing-a-ma-jig at the end so you don't have to bend over to pick things up. I broke my ribs a few weeks ago and this was a Godsend to have around. I found a little cheap one at the dollar store that worked just fine. For serious use, you might want to dig a little deeper and get one that will last once your grandchildren find it.
If you have Parkinson's or know someone who does and have been shopping with them, you know the frustration they feel when they are not up to par and their fingers refuse to work as they shuffle through their wallet looking for payment. Shop around with them (or without if you know them very well) to find a wallet that will be PD user-friendly. They are saying that one of the best exercise techniques to hit the Parkinson community is Tai Chi. How about gifting a membership for a Tai Chi class or buying a Tai Chi exercise video?
It may seem silly or insignificant, but a night light is more than just an idea for a gift – it's a necessity for someone who lives at home with PD. You don't have to move the furniture to lose your bearings, people who live with PD not only lose their bearings more easily, but their ability to fall is greatly increased and getting up at night without at least a night light is asking for trouble. And there are so many different ones to choose from nowadays, besides the plain old cream colored ones that never wear out.
There are times I want to sit down to read a good book and push that idea aside for a time, as my fingers don't want to hold a book and if I take control, they'll fight me by cramping up. A Kindle or the likes of a 'reader' is an ingenious idea for people with disabilities or seniors who tire of holding anything heavier than a small paperback.
Speaking of books… Audio books are still around and are a great alternative to a reading tablet or bulky books. Most people have a CD player and their are many great books out there to choose from.It isn't just any old chocolate I'm suggesting… Have you heard of the medicinal benefits of dark chocolate? It's true. It is known to reduce blood sugar levels and possibly improved cardiovascular health. It seems that it may have cancer-fighting properties as well. Since dark chocolate is made from plants, its health benefits could resemble those of someone who is eating dark green vegetables. So, how about a gift certificate to See's Candies or a pound of dark chocolate for your favorite PD'er? Chocolate. DARK Chocolate. It's not just for Valentine's Day anymore.
I was watching a commercial the other day and it was about this gadget called 'the Flex-Stick' walking cane (available at www.flexsticks.com). According to the makers, "The flexSTICK provides more dynamic stability and comfort than any other walking stick… [and] is designed with physics and geometry to 'flex' throughout a normal walk cycle, increasing mobility, reducing the risk of falls, and allowing you to walk better.
The three shock-absorbing legs maintain constant contact with the ground surface as each leg flexes, providing much more stability and support than traditional walking canes.
Many days a PD'er faces pain and stiffness. So, here's a welcome treat… A massage! Did you know that massages are recommended for people with PD, MS, and other chronic illnesses to relieve the stiffness and help to loosen the muscles? A person with PD is actually encouraged to have a massage twice a month. Back to my broken ribs… It was literally impossible to bend over without intense pain stabbing me in my mid-section, so you must realize it was also impossible for me to take care of my toenails. Thank goodness my husband loves me and treated me to a pedicure to have them done. Believe me – this is a truly welcome gift – Parkinson's patient or not. Same goes for a manicure. It's just a nice treat.
I used to volunteer at an adult daycare at our local hospital. I was comfortable there and actually fit right in. Many of the patients had PD and we just trembled together. I loved that group of people and they seemed to enjoy their days there. Why not check out something in your area for your loved one to go one afternoon a week or so? You will both get a much needed break. Or, if you're a friend of a caregiver, consider this gift to give your friend a break.
There's a lot of hubbub lately about the benefits of music and dance in the life of a PD patient. Dance has been known to reduce tremors without any medication adjustments, in and of itself. You could consider taking your PD'er to a dance class as your partner and offer them some great exercise/health benefits at the same time.
A gift that will give peace and safety to a person with Parkinson's disease? A guide/service dog. They are training service dogs for disabilities never noted before. They have proven to be reliable and irreplaceable in aiding the patient from falling and more. You will rest easier knowing your loved one has someone watching out for him/her at all times. And, they're so doggone cute!Lastly, this is an old favorite that I thank God for each day… an electric toothbrush. Who knew that someday a task like brushing your teeth would be so ridiculously difficult and you'd tear half of your gums out in the process? Give your loved one the opportunity to give thanks for the little things each day too.
What about you? Any ideas or suggestions to add to the list
Journeying with you ~ Sherri

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Saving Afghanistan's archaeological sites
12 Mar 2012 00:06 GMT | Politics, Humanitarian crises, US & Canada, Afghanistan, United States
Sixteen Afghan civilians, including three women and nine children, have been shot dead in their homes by a US soldier in a pre-dawn attack.
President Hamid Karzai condemned the slaughter on Sunday as "unforgivable" and furiously demanded an explanation from the US government.
"When Afghan people are killed deliberately by US forces this action is murder and terror and an unforgivable action," Karzai said in statement.Senior US officials were scrambling to determine what caused the soldier to go on a shooting spree after leaving his base in southern Afghanistan, apparently heavily-armed and carrying night-vision equipment.
Officials confirmed that the soldier was being detained in Kandahar and that the military was treating at least five wounded people.Barack Obama, the US president, said he was "deeply saddened" by the incident.
"I offer my condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives, and to the people of Afghanistan, who have endured too much violence and suffering," Obama said in a written statement.
One US official said the soldier, an Army staff sergeant, was believed to have acted alone and that initial reports indicated he returned to the base after the shooting and turned himself in.
General John Allen, the top US commander in Afghanistan, issued a statement pledging a "rapid and thorough investigation" into the shooting spree, and said the soldier will remain in US custody.
The US embassy in Kabul sent out an alert to its citizens in Afghanistan warning that as a result of the shooting "there is a risk of anti-American feelings and protests in coming days".'Tragic incident'
An AFP news agency reporter at the scene of the killings counted the bodies of 16 people. In one house, an elderly woman screamed: "May God kill the only son of Karzai, so he feels what we feel."
The shootings come at a particularly sensitive and critical time for the US, just as violence over the burning of Muslim holy books at a US base was starting to calm down. At least 41 people were killed in violence related to those protests.
Al Jazeera's Bernard Smith, reporting from Herat, said the soldier entered three houses near the base and opened fire on civilians.
"We are now being told by the police sources that the US soldier left his base at three o'clock this morning. It would have been pitch-black wherever he walked," our correspondent said.
"The soldier went through three separate houses, shooting at people as they slept in their beds. After the soldier shot these people, he turned himself in.
"It is frankly disastrous. It is not just a disaster for the people who were murdered and killed in their houses, it is disaster for the country I suspect."Najeeb Azizi, a Kabul-based Afghan analyst, said the shooting will have deep repercussions on the already tenuous relations with the US.
"It is a very tragic incident in particular because the Afghan and US governments are trying to sign a strategic agreement for a long term," he said.
"A very bad message the Afghan people are getting - that if US military remains in Afghanistan beyond 2014 and their attitude and behaviour remains the same - of killing innocent civilians - what will be the consequences, and how will the Afghan people respond to it."

Police locate West Point teen called 'person of interest' in brothers' deaths
WEST POINT — A 4-year-old and a 10-year-old are dead under suspicious circumstances, and police searched for several hours to locate their older brother Wednesday night, calling him a person of interest.
Aza Vidinhar, 15, was located and taken to an area hospital for evaluation just before midnight. No information about his condition was available.
Vidinhar had last been seen about 4:45 p.m. Wednesday at his home, 120 S. 1660 West, said Davis County Sherrif's Sgt. Susan Poulsen. Police were unsure what Vidinhar's involvement might be in the deaths, but they wanted to talk to him about what happened to his brothers.
Davis County Sheriff's Deputy Chief Kevin Fielding said the mother found the 4-year-old child dead Wednesday night, and officers discovered the 10-year-old victim when they arrived.
Poulsen said Vidinhar's mother left him and his two brothers at home while she attended a dance recital with her other children. The mother came home to find the two younger children dead.
The investigation into the deaths is ongoing, Poulsen said.
Vidinhar was reported missing for several hours in 2011, but was found in a nearby restaurant and there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
Police do not know why Vidinhar left the house Wednesday, Poulsen said.
