Heart Failure: Activity and Exercise
When you have heart failure, it's very important to exercise regularly. If you are not already active, your doctor may want you to start an exercise program.
Of course, what's safe for you depends on how bad your heart failure is. But even if you can only do a small amount of exercise, it's better than not doing any exercise at all.
- Have a checkup before you start an exercise program. Your doctor probably will do an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) and maybe an exercise stress test to see how much activity your heart can safely handle.
- Your doctor may recommend a cardiac rehabilitation ("rehab") program at a local hospital or clinic.
- Start out slowly, exercising for only a few minutes at a comfortable rate. Then each day, slowly try to increase the length of time and the intensity of your workout.
- You should not exercise during times when your heart failure is not under control.
- Set goals that you can reach. If you expect too much, you are likely to get discouraged and stop exercising.
Do not start exercising until you have talked with your doctor to make an exercise program that is safe for you. Your program will likely include activities that you can do at least 3 to 5 times a week.1 Aim for at least 2½ hours of moderate exercise a week.2 One way to do this is to be active at least 10 minutes 3 times a day, 5 days a week.
- Stretching for 10 to 15 minutes helps warm up muscles. Basic yoga or tai chi exercises might help you be more flexible.
- You also may be able to walk outdoors or on a treadmill, cycle on a stationary bike, do low- or no-impact aerobics, or swim. All of these make your muscles stronger, help you keep your balance, and make you more fit.
- Lifting light weights helps increase the tone and strength of your muscles.
- It's a good idea to have a cool-down period. This means slowly stopping your exercise, such as walking at a slower pace for 5 to 10 minutes.
Making exercise a routine is important, because it takes only a short period without activity to weaken your muscles and your heart.
Regular exercise also helps reduce or improve:
- Symptoms of heart failure.
- Cholesterol, especially when combined with lifestyle changes, such as eating a heart-healthy diet and not smoking.
- Blood pressure. Regular exercise can lower your blood pressure. It helps even more when it's combined with other lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and learning to handle stress.
- Your weight. And it can help you stay at a healthy weight when you reach it.
- Blood sugar levels, which can lower your risk for diabetes and help you manage your diabetes.
- Stress. It also helps lift your mood and decreases depression and anxiety.
Test Your Knowledge
To get started:
- Have a physical exam before you start any exercise program. Your doctor may do an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) and maybe an exercise stress test.
- Make a list of concerns to discuss with your doctor. An exercise planning sheet(What is a PDF document?) can help you do this. This sheet can include things like exercises you should not do, whether you need to change how you take your medicine, and your activity goals.
- Make an exercise plan with your doctor. An exercise program usually consists of stretching, activities that increase your heart rate, and strength training. Visit a library or bookstore for information on exercise programs. Join a health club, walking group, or YMCA. Many cities have senior centers that offer exercise programs that don't cost much.
- Learn how to check your heart rate. Your doctor can show you how to take your pulse and how fast it should be (target heart rate) when you exercise.
- Start out slowly. Try parking farther away from the store, or walk the mall before you shop. Over time, you will increase your ability to do more.
- Keep a record of what you do. Now and then, read entries from months ago to see your progress. It's okay to cut back on your exercise if you are too tired or not feeling well.
Tips for exercise success
- Set realistic goals. If you expect too much, you are likely to get discouraged and stop exercising.
- Choose a type of exercise that you enjoy.
- Give yourself time. It can take months to get into the habit of exercising. After a few months, you may find that you are looking forward to it.
- Stay with it. It can be hard to stay with an exercise plan. Try exercising with a friend. It is much easier to continue an exercise program if you are doing it with someone else.
- Reward yourself. Build in rewards along the way that help you stay with your program.
When starting an exercise program
- Pace yourself by switching exercises. Rotate light workouts, such as short walks, with more intense exercises, such as low-impact aerobics or swimming.
- Avoid exercising outdoors in extreme weather or high humidity. When the weather is bad, try exercising indoors at a gym or walking at a mall.
- If you get palpitations, chest pain, trouble breathing, or dizziness or lightheadedness, stop exercising and try to rest. Call 911 if your chest pain does not go away. Call your doctor if your other symptoms don't go away.
- Don't take naps or lie down after exercise, because that reduces your ability to exercise. Instead, sit down to rest.
- Take your pulse often or wear a heart rate monitor, and keep your pulse within the range your doctor sets. Watch your pulse when walking up hills or stairs.
- Be aware of how you feel during exercise. You should be able to talk easily without being out of breath.
Other things to think about
- Avoid exercises that require or encourage holding your breath, such as push-ups, sit-ups, and isometric exercises. Also avoid heavy lifting.
- Do not take hot or cold showers or sauna baths after you exercise. Medium temperatures are best—very hot or very cold temperatures can be dangerous.
- Ask your doctor if you need to change how you exercise if your medicines change. New medicines can affect how fast your heart beats and how you feel when you exercise.
- Get back to exercise slowly if you've stopped your workouts for more than just a couple of days. Slowly increase to your regular activity level as you are able to.

The yen surged in the wake of the BoJ's decision to refrain from easing policy, which resolutely disappointed markets with data today showing core CPI falling to a three-year low of -0.3% y/y, well off the BoJ's 2% target. Japan's Nikkei 225 equity index finished 3.6% in the red having been showing a 1.5% gain ahead of the central bank's announcement.

Looking at the dictionary, I read that should has origin as past tense of shall. In the modern English, is should ever used as past tense of shall?
ORIGIN Old English sceolde: past of shall.
Looking at the dictionary, I read that should has origin as past tense of shall. In the modern English, is should ever used as past tense of shall?
should is the preterite form of the modal verb whose present form is shall. As such, should can be (and is still) used in the past tense, in places where shall would be used in the present tense.
Two examples:
Other modal verbs that follow the same pattern are will/would, may/might and can/could.
Giving examples of reported speech doesn't illustrate that modal verbs have tense. The backshift to the Historical past tense forms, of modals, that only sometimes occurs doesn't express a true tense shift. It only tells those in our speaking/writing audience, that by making this replacement, that we are not directly quoting what the original speaker said.
If this was actually a true shift in tense, we wouldn't be able to quote someone directly because that important tense/time shift wouldn't show up and there would be considerable misunderstanding.
Let's look at an example:
Charles: I need some paper.
Brett: What did Charles say?
Jane: He said that he needed some paper.
When Jane used 'needed', the past tense form of 'need', she wasn't saying that the need has disappeared, that the need has been met, that Charles no longer needs paper. Using the past tense FORM is just a signal, not the actual shift that we see when an event is actually finished.
Jane: He said that he needed some paper but he got some from Art, so he doesn't need any now.
Noldorin is at least partially correct. Modals are a special class of verbs which carry various modal meanings into sentences.

Reliving the event
Bad memories of the traumatic event can come back at any time. You may feel the same fear and horror you did when the event took place. You may feel like you're going through the event again. This is called a flashback. Sometimes there is a trigger: a sound or sight that causes you to relive the event. Triggers might include:
Avoiding situations that remind you of the event
You may try to avoid situations or people that trigger memories of the traumatic event. You may even avoid talking or thinking about the event.
Feeling numb
You may find it hard to express your feelings. This is another way to avoid memories.
Feeling keyed up
You may be alert and on the lookout for danger. This is known as increased emotional arousal. It can cause you to:

San Francisco, CA., April 20, 2006 - The Goldman Environmental Prize, the world's largest award for grassroots environmentalists, is offsetting their annual ceremony with Carbonfund.org. Held on the 24th of April at the San Francisco Opera House, the Goldman Environmental Foundation will offset the event on behalf of their guests and the award winners and highlight the need for taking account of carbon emissions and global warming.
"The Goldman Environmental Prize is meant to draw attention to the global nature of environmental issues and award those who work on a grassroots level to make a difference," says Lorrae Rominger, deputy director of the Goldman Environmental Foundation. "Making our event carbon neutral is a logical extension of what the Goldman Prize seeks to accomplish."
This year's event will award each winner $125,000. After the event in San Francisco, the winners will travel to Washington DC for another awards ceremony at the National Geographic Society and meetings with political, policy and environmental leaders at events on Capitol Hill and at the Brookings Institute . With the award winners coming from all over the world, the Goldman Foundation has ensured that their extensive travel will also be carbon neutral via Carbonfund.org.
"To work with such a signature organization and event is very exciting for Carbonfund.org," says Eric Carlson president of Carbonfund.org. "The Goldman Environmental Prize is very representative of both the environmental problems and the inspirations people have to stop them, and we are glad to be considered a part of the solution."
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization whose goal is to make carbon offsets and climate protection easy, affordable and a normal way of life for every individual and business. Carbon offsets - also called renewable energy certificates and 'green tags' – enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in one location, where it is cost effective, to offset the emissions they are responsible for in their normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions. For instance, a clean, zero CO2 wind farm can offset the carbon dioxide produced by a coal-fired power plant that powers a home.
The average American is directly responsible for about 10 tons of carbon dioxide annually through their home, car and air travel, and their average total annual impact rises to an average of 24 tons when factoring in the purchase of goods and services. Conferences, with the heavy reliance on air travel and other transportation, are an easy first step for any organization to offset. Because conferences also often bring decision makers together, for Carbonfund.org, it is an excellent opportunity to educate and demonstrate that being responsible is both simple and environmentally effective.
About The Goldman Environmental Prize
Founded in 1990, the Goldman Environmental Prize awards $750,000 annually to environmental heroes from six continental regions. Nominated confidentially by a network of renowned environmental organizations and environmental experts, recipients are chosen for their sustained and important environmental achievements. The Prize offers these environmental heroes the recognition, visibility, and credibility their efforts deserve.
About Carbonfund.org
Carbonfund.org reduces the threat of climate change by making it easy and affordable for any individual or business to reduce their carbon footprint and support climate-friendly projects. With its easy-to-use calculator, low offset cost per ton of CO2, and certified offset projects, Carbonfund.org is proving that anyone can reduce their impact on climate change easily and efficiently. Carbonfund.org is a 501(c)(3) charitable, nonprofit organization, and a member of the EPA's Green Power Network, the Chicago Climate Exchange and Ceres.

- Title
- A catalogue and analysis of X-ray luminosities of early-type galaxies
- Author(s)
- O'Sullivan, Ewan; Forbes, Duncan A.; Ponman, Trevor
- Abstract
- We present a catalogue of X-ray luminosities for 401 early-type galaxies, of which 136 are based on newly analysed ROSAT PSPC pointed observations. The remaining luminosities are taken from the literature and converted to a common energy band, spectral model and distance scale. Using this sample we fit the LX:LB relation for early-type galaxies and find a best-fit slope for the catalogue of ~2.2. We demonstrate the influence of group-dominant galaxies on the fit and present evidence that the relation is not well modelled by a single power-law fit. We also derive estimates of the contribution to galaxy X-ray luminosities from discrete-sources and conclude that they provide Ldscr/LB~=29.5ergs-1LBsolar-1. We compare this result with luminosities from our catalogue. Lastly, we examine the influence of environment on galaxy X-ray luminosity and on the form of the LX:LB relation. We conclude that although environment undoubtedly affects the X-ray properties of individual galaxies, particularly those in the centres of groups and clusters, it does not change the nature of whole populations.

If you love movies like I do, you may have been waiting anxiously for the Academy Award nominations that were announced this morning, which is kind of like opening day for Oscar season. And if you're a hardcore fanatic like I am, you try to see as many of the nominated films as possible before the Big Night. Thanks to the nearby Rave Cinema, which often shows more independent and limited-release films than its in-town competitors, I can often catch many of the nominees in a timely fashion. But for some of the more esoteric films, I often find myself driving to places like Grand Rapids, Lansing or Ann Arbor, as I have already done this season. (Crazy, I know, but I did use the word "fanatic" to describe myself.) For those of you normal folks who'd prefer their cultural horizons to be expanded without breaking their odometer, I thought I would mention all of the year's Oscar-nominated stuff that you can get right here, right now at KPL.
Four of the Best Picture nominees are available now on Blu-ray and DVD:
The film Hugo had the most Oscar nominations with 11, which included Best Picture, Director (Martin Scorsese), and Adapted Screenplay. As of this writing, it does not yet have a release date for Blu-ray or DVD, but you can read The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Brian Selznick's Caldecott-winning book upon which it was based. Howard Shore's score was also nominated and is currently on compact disc.
Other Best Picture nominees not yet available on Blu-ray or DVD but based on books you can read now include Kaui Hart Hemmings' The Descendants (5 nominations), Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2 nominations), and Michael Morpurgo's War Horse (6 nominations).
Beyond the Best Picture list, there are plenty of currently available films that received Oscar nominations today:
David Fincher's adaptation of Stieg Larsson's mega-popular mystery The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo received five nominations; it's not yet available on Blu-ray or DVD, but you can read the book, check out the original Swedish version, or listen to Trent Reznor's score (which was, in my opinion, the Academy's biggest snub this year).
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy received nominations for Actor (Gary Oldman), Original Score, and Adapted Screenplay. You can read the novel from spymaster John le Carré, or check out the original British mini-series starring Alec Guinness.
Flight of the Conchords vet Bret McKenzie received a Best Original Song nomination for the amusingly existential "Man or Muppet" track from—what else?—The Muppets. The soundtrack is available now. The only other song nomination came from the soundtrack to the animated film Rio.
So there you have it: an exhaustive list of currently available materials from this year's crop of Oscar nominations, complete with links to the items themselves. Whether you use it to browse for some ideas, or turn it into a checklist for immediate consumption is up to you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some driving to do.
(Psst. If your interested in my personal choices for the ten best films of the year, you can find them here.)

I have a confession.
I do want to drop a ignition in same turn as my Fire and Gaia fairy soul skill triggers onto my Berdoza and proceed to attack faces.
If he still lives, maybe a flying for fun in next turn to hit that Dilate hiding in the backrow like a little girl.
That'll teach all those gowen abusers a bitter pill of their own medicine if it works.
I think i can have fun with this dude like I do with zagar depending on what happens to him after he goes to usa.
Only time will tell whether alteil attach another cripple conditional on berdoza or not like what they did to zagar the first time.

Although castles of timber and earth continued to be built over a long period, masonry castles began to appear in the latter part of the 12th century, and by the 13th century highly sophisticated courtyard castles were being constructed by some of the Scottish nobility. Within their formidable crenellated walls, there would have been ranges of buildings including the lord's hall, chambers, kitchens and a chapel. The walls themselves might be punctuated by towers and an imposing gatehouse, as seen at Caerlaverock .
During the Wars with England in the late 13th and early 14th century many castles were deliberately destroyed or damaged, as can be seen at Bothwell where half of the great tower was torn down
When castle building gathered fresh momentum from the late 14th century, the focus was usually a substantial stone tower surrounded by other buildings, such as a hall, contained within a courtyard. Although residential towers of this kind were often of a simple oblong plan, with one principal room on each floor, there were more complex forms and some towers were very complex indeed.
Tower house building flourished in the second half of the 16th century. However, there is a debate as to whether it is still appropriate to call many of these tower houses. Examples such as Elcho with their large windows lighting the spacious hall and chambers, are more domestic in character than their predecessors. Nevertheless, a defensible appearance was often retained, with grilles to the windows and gun holes at the lower levels.
By the late 17th century most of the new residences being built were essentially comfortable country houses, though there was often great pride in the family's ancestral tower house, which might be incorporated into the new building. Others were put to new uses rather than being demolished or left to decay.
Castle Restoration
|There is a long tradition of successful castle and tower house restoration in Scotland as seen at Duart Castle which was restored in the early 20th century and Fenton Tower in the early 21st.

Four weeks ago, Barbara Hampton visited her doctor for a routine blood test. During the past decade, she has battled cancer three times, each time popping up in a different part of her abdomen – liver, pancreas. Each time, she thought she had it licked, but her recent blood test proved her wrong. The cancer is back, this time on her diaphragm. Hampton's friend, Jacki Shafer, said Hampton is not the type to sit and dwell. Throughout her illnesses, she has always been one to help her own mother with her illness and to reach out to others.

Another man involved in that $1.2 million armored vehicle heist in Washington a year and a half ago is heading to federal prison.
Charles Moore, Jr. was sentenced Thursday to serve just over 14 years in prison for his part in the June 2011 armed robbery of a Garda armored vehicle outside the Bank of America ATM.
Moore also has to be on five years of supervised release after his prison term, plus pay back $963,766 in restitution. The feds say that's the difference between what was lost and what was recovered.
Emmanuel Wallace III has already been sent to prison for 21 years, while Lenard Smith is still awaiting sentencing.

Optometrists are health professionals who diagnose and treat many vision
problems and diseases of the eye. An optometrist is not a medical doctor, but
rather a doctor of optometry (OD).
Optometrists can perform routine vision testing, prescribe
eyeglasses and contact lenses, detect vision problems and eye disease,
prescribe medicines to treat some diseases of the eye, and provide care
before and after eye surgery.
After undergraduate study, optometrists must complete optometry school. They must take a national licensing
examination and are licensed by the state in which they practice.

Similar to the Clone Technique, this technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows, though even then it may not be enough, as evident when during the Fourth Shinobi World War a few more notable clones of Naruto took heavy hits but didn't disperse. The clones can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. However, while in Tailed Beast Mode, Naruto is able to create clones of himself in his regular form.[2]
Shadow clones can't be distinguished from the actual person even by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance.[3]
A characteristic that is unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user.[4]
It's also useful for training purposes, since the total amount of experience the user gains is multiplied by the total number of clones being used to train. For example, if a user creates one shadow clone and trains together with this clone for one hour, then dispels the clone, the user gains two hours of training in one hour by adding the hours of clone and the user together. This particular feature is not revealed until Part II by Kakashi Hatake.[5] When done with several hundred, like Naruto does, training that could take weeks or months can be completed in a few hours.[6] While the technique can be extremely beneficial, attempting to use multiple clones for training purposes can be mentally harmful to the user, as not only is all the experience collected by the user, but so is all the mental stress from training each clone.[7]
Naruto also uses shadow clones in order to counter the limit of Sage Mode, the need to stay still on a battlefield to gather more senjutsu chakra, as well as the inability of the Two Great Sage Toads to merge with him due to the presence of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox inside him.[8] By infusing his shadow clones with senjutsu chakra and leaving them at Mount Myōboku, Naruto can recall them to him on the battlefield and dispel the technique causing the chakra they have stored up to return to the original body.[9]
Because of the manner in which the clones are created, the user must divide their chakra among the clones, potentially using up all their chakra fairly quickly if the user is low on chakra or makes too many clones. This is especially problematic when the forbidden form of the technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, is used; whereas the normal version will only create a few clones, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique can create hundreds.
Naruto is able to use this technique to the extremes that he does because of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed within him, which gives him an abnormally high chakra level. Even without Kurama's chakra, Naruto can make quite a few clones, but nowhere near on the level he can when he has access to the Nine-Tails' chakra. The clones, however, are apparently more susceptible to the Nine-Tails' influence and can begin to transform unexpectedly.[10][11] It should also be noted that while Naruto in his two-tails form in his fight with Deidara, the other clones seemed to be choking and dying as if Kurama's chakra was killing them.[12][13] If Naruto creates any clones while in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Kurama could absorb a portion of his chakra per clone, making it very easy for Naruto to die.[14] However, due to Naruto and Kurama's recently developed friendship, this weakness is no longer an issue.
- Twice in the anime, Naruto produced shadow clones using the tiger seal.[15]
- In the anime episode Brothers: Distance Among the Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha claims that the Sharingan can distinguish clones from the original. This contradicts the manga and other anime episodes.[16]
- An ostrich named Condor appears in the anime using this technique, but in reality it was just other ostriches.[17]

Barton Simmons
Rivals.com Football Recruiting
[rl]FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Several prospects are making strong cases for higher rankings at the Offense-Defense All-Star game practices this week, including defensive end Earl Okine. Rivals.com recruiting analyst Barton Simmons provides his quick hitters from the East squad's Thursday workout.
Assets: He is very quick in and out of his cuts, is a smooth route-runner and has good hands.Needs improvement: He doesn't have ideal speed but he is plenty fast enough. What was most impressive: He caught the ball naturally and was one of the few receivers that looked unphased by the cold weather. Conclusion: He is a very effective big target who runs great polished routes.
Assets: His size and strength is what sets him apart.Needs improvement: He tracks the ball well in the air but needs to work on catching it clean.What was most impressive: He uses his big frame effectively and is a terrific option offer the middle.Conclusion: He'll need to polish up his routes but he will progress very well in Oklahoma's offense.
Assets: He has a long body, a huge wingspan and a great motor. Needs improvement: He needs to gain strength in his upper body to be more effective in the pass rush.What was most impressive: His effort off of the edge was impressive in the pass game, he really wants to get to the quarterback.Conclusion: A big game on Friday night could mean a higher rating for a guy with an extremely high ceiling.
Assets: Though he has the body to play linebacker, he moves extremely well at safety. He is very strong out of his cuts.Needs improvement: He can work on his hips coverage.What was most impressive: He rolled down to the line of scrimmage in man coverage on the tight ends and wouldn't give them an inch of room in their pass routes. Conclusion: He has outstanding upside as an outside linebacker. There isn't a tight end he can't cover and he has a great frame to build on.
Assets: He has great size and strength and showed good feet in tight spaces.Needs improvement: He didn't show elite straight line speed.What was most impressive: Torrence broke off some nice runs where he showed quick feet and instincts. He looks natural with the ball in his hands.Conclusion: He could play a number of positions at his size and athleticism however it is clear that he can be a productive back for Jim Tressel at Ohio State.
Assets: He has a massive body and is very strong.Needs improvement: He needs to be more aggressive and physical.What was most impressive: He was patient with a flurry of pass rush moves by Keith Wells, holding him in check in pass protection. Conclusion: You can't teach size and Massie has plenty of it but he showed that he is more than just a big body. He will be a good one.
Assets: His strength is what sets him apart, he doesn't need to extend himself very much to hold off rushers.Needs improvement: He is a little slow out of his stance. What was most impressive: He went up against Okine and wouldn't budge, knocking him back with a strong punch.Conclusion: He is still learning to pass protect but has good athleticism and loads of upside.

The challenge of playing 'Evita'
Presented by the Charleston Light Opera Guild
WHERE: Civic Center Little Theater
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday, May 10-11 and 17-18; 3 p.m. May 12.
INFO: 304-343-2287 or www.charlestonlightoperaguild.org CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Emily Capece has plenty to keep her busy. The mother of two is an associate director with the Appalachian Children's Chorus, working with the Cora Voce Choir. She's also the artistic director for the chorale group womanSong.
"If there's music, I'm there," she said and laughed.
Capece, who has a master's degree in music and choral conducting from Westminster Choir College, lives for music and absolutely loves a musical challenge. Still, with the Charleston Light Opera Guild's production of "Evita," she acknowledged she has her hands full.
But she just couldn't pass it up.
"The Guild doing this is kind of a big deal," Capece said. "'Evita' is kind of inaccessible to a lot of community theater groups and particularly high school theater. It's vocally very challenging, very complex, and not everyone can pull it off."
In her opinion, it's the kind of show that only a group like the guild could really pull off in Charleston, and their willingness to try was irresistible to Capece.
The musical, which opens Friday at the Civic Center Little Theater, tells the story of the rise of Eva Peron, the second wife of Argentinian President Juan Peron. A polarizing figure in politics still, Eva was condemned for alleged fascist sympathies and corruption, but also celebrated and nearly sainted for her support of the poor.
The musical, written by musical theater heavyweights Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber, was a massive success in London's West End and on Broadway. It earned Broadway great Patti LuPone her first Tony Award in 1980.
A Broadway revival of "Evita" returned in 2012 and has been nominated for three Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Choreography (Rob Ashford) and Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical (West Virginia's own Michael Cerveris).
Capece said "Evita" is a musical theater heavyweight, but it's one of those productions people often only really think they know what it's about. Capece includes herself in that.
"I grew up listening to Andrew Lloyd Weber musicals," she said. "I spent huge chunks of my summer singing along to 'Phantom of the Opera,' then 'Evita' and then 'Cats.' Other girls had the Spice Girls; I had musical theater."
Still, Capece said she didn't delve too deeply into the subject matter and who Eva Peron was, but with taking on the role, she educated herself more.
"Evita's" take on Peron is at least a little controversial.
"Andrew Lloyd Weber definitely painted her in a certain way," Capece said. "And really she was probably a lot of what he thought. She was kind of a saint, at least to the poor that she championed, but also vicious and an opportunist."
She added that it was her challenge to try and put the humanity of Eva Peron into the larger-than-life character imagined by the music of Weber and Rice.
Capece is choosy about the roles she auditions for. Since she and her husband, Christian, moved to the area five years ago, she has performed in just four other Light Opera Guild productions.
"I try to squeeze in one a year," she said.
Given her life, it's really all she can fit in, and she said she's biased toward the Guild because of it. Capece said there's plenty of talent in the area, but the Charleston Light Opera Guild is very strong technically.
"You can have great actors and good singers, but what if you've got stinky lights or bad sound?"
Capece added that she's comfortable with the Charleston Light Opera Guild. The performers working with her on "Evita" are more than just veteran actors; they're like old friends.
"It's important to have a good time," she said. "Especially, if you're going to devote so much time -- for free."
A lot of time has gone into bringing "Evita" to the stage. There have been a lot of long hours with rehearsals sometimes dragging on past midnight.
Capece believed it was all worth it.
"We started this one about three months out, and we've done so much work. You sort of wish that we had a longer run than just three weekends."

In praise of shade
Sponge cake introduced in the 16th century by Portuguese missionaries is not the only treat the Japanese have become fond of. Green-tea-flavoured financier, sesame shortbread, yuzu cheesecake ... as if a foreign shadow play has been somehow projected onto their pastries.
Serves 6
Preparation time: 10 min - Cooking time: 15-20 min

Melt the butter in a saucepan and simmer until it smells nutty. Remove from heat and leave to cool. Beat the egg whites to a lather but not until stiff. Add the sugar, flour, almonds, green tea, honey and salt. Mix well then pour the melted butter through a small strainer. Stir again. Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (gas mark 6) and pour the batter into financier moulds placed on the baking tray. Bake 15 to 20 min. Leave to cool on a rack.
Serve with a latte macchiato made with Decaffeinato Intenso.

Place the flour, icing sugar, butter cut into pieces, sesame cream and salt in the bowl of a food processor and blend until the mixture is grainy. Add the whole egg, mix a few seconds until the dough forms a ball and wrap in film for 30 min to cool. Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (gas Mark 6), remove the baking plate and line it with parchment paper. For the coffee cream, whisk together the mascarpone, soft butter and sugar, add coffee (25 ml) not too hot and keep cool.

Beat the 4 egg whites with salt until stiff. Sprinkle on the remaining sugar, whisking until the whites are glossy. Mix 3 tablespoons of the beaten whites into the yolks to loosen and fold the preparation together with a spatula, pour the batter into a ungreased chiffon cake mould or charlotte mould with a cylinder placed in the centre covered with parchment paper and weighted to make a hole in the middle.

Glass Lungo Cup (Nespresso)
Serves 6
Preparation time: 20 min - Cooking time: 25 min - Cooling time: 30 min - Rising time: 2 hrs
Ingredients: 6 capsules de Vivalto Lungo (6 x 110 ml).
For 6 milk buns: 250 g flour + enough to dust the dough - 30 g sugar - 75 g soft butter - 10 cl warm milk - 15 g dried yeast - 1 egg - 1 pinch salt.
For the biscuit: 200 g flour - ½ packet of baking powder (1 teaspoon) - 1 pinch salt - 40 g sugar - 50 g butter, softened - 1 egg - 4 tablespoons water - milk - granulated sugar.
Prepare the dough, dilute the yeast in warm milk, put the flour in a mixer bowl with the sugar, egg and salt and pour in the milk and yeast; knead until the dough forms a ball, adding the softened butter and a little flour if it is sticky. Dust with flour, divide into 12 balls the size of a small egg and let rise in a warm place, covered with a clean cloth for about 2 hours. For the biscuit dough, mix the butter and sugar, add the whole egg, mix again then add the flour, yeast, salt and water. Again, knead until the dough forms a ball, dusting with flour if necessary.

Divide this dough into 6 pieces, roll them into balls and roll them out on a floured surface into 6 discs, about 12 cm in diameter. Take a disk in one hand, place a ball of the risen dough in the centre and fold over the disc to enclose the ball of dough by wetting it with a little water to make it stick. Baste the surface with milk, and score it lightly in a square pattern. Sprinkle the melon pans with crystallised sugar. Place on oven plate and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffy.
Serve with a Vivalto Lungo.

Fold the two preparations together with a flexible spatula. Fill a piping bag fitted with a plain tip and drop small rounds of dough onto a sheet of parchment paper placed on a baking sheet, leaving enough space between them. Garnish with sesame seeds and bake 12-15 min. For the cream, whisk together the mascarpone, icing sugar and matcha tea, and keep cool.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DeeRN Great Little Straightener I just came back from Italy. I purchased this straightener before I left. I am so glad I did. I brought my large straightener and it would not work even with the converter. I threw this small one in at the last minute figuring I would never need it. It worked great. Heats right up and it is certainly better then not having one. I went to Scotland 2 years ago and brought my large straightener and my converter. I severely burned my hair using this and have been apprehensive about using it again in Europe. So glad I bought this. Yes...it is small, but it works fine if you take small sections. October 2, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by 1SuzyQ Don't Buy This One This flat iron was a real disappointment. The plug does not want to stay plugged into the wall socket. The flat iron gets warm enough to straighten your hair, but 10-15 minutes later it is starting to show waves even on a dry day. The iron never really gets hot. I did not try it until it was too late to return it. I did go to the local Sephora and buy a dual voltage travel flat iron though. That flat iron is the one I will be carrying to Europe, not the Conair. March 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cbutoons Good small flat iron for travel This is very small, as other reviewers mentioned. I usually use the full size flat iron by GHD, and it was about $200, and it's really good. So I have high expectation to flat irons - I have used flat iron for many years almost everyday and went through many flat irons. I have straight hair and I want to have a nice straight sleek look all the time. And of course this little iron can't do what my regular iron does. It's a lot smaller and It doesn't get that hot as much. But I think it does the job for trips. I tried it this morning and it did what I would need to do on my trips: making my hair sleek and fixing spots here and there - and my hair looked good. I have short hair so it didn't take that long. I am satisfied with this product. If you want to use this to the whole hair and if you have long hair, it would l take a long time (I had very long hair till last month so I know how it is), but I think you would be able to have the sleek hair look if you spend enough time. The plate is about a quarter size of the regular one, so go figure. But I think this is so great to save space and it's it very light. I am going to take this to my regular trips. If I go to a wedding, I would bring my regular flat iron, but for the regular trips this will be perfect. It looks like it is well made, and it comes with a heat resistant bag and that is nice. It is very compact. You can put it in your (small) purse if you want to take it with you - that is something I can't do with my regular flat iron. September 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mauilover dissapointed no auto shut off When I ordered this item, I did so because it is advertised that it will automatically shut off. The users manual does not state this and after leaving it plugged in for 90 minutes, it does not automatically shut off. Mini? yes it is. Perfect for very short hair styles like mine or for little touch ups such as bangs. If you have long hair, it will take you all day to straighten your hair. Will use this for traveling due to it's compact size, as long as I maintain my very short hair. November 18, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by GMCH RIDICULOUS!!! Heating plates are only 1/2" x 2 1/4"! Totally useless to straighten a head of hair unless you take very small pieces of hair and spend an inordinate amount of time! I bought it to take to Europe because it automatically adapts the voltage, but as it is COMICALLY WORTHLESS, I will take my regular flat iron and my converter instead. (A normal flat iron is small and light enough anyway and will work with a converter/adapter as it is only 40 Watts.) Do not waste your time or money!!! June 11, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by SBelle Disappointed Unfortunately, when I ordered this flat iron, the dimensions were listed as 10" x 1". After I received it and brought this to TS's attention, they changed the dimensions in the description. Because it was too small, I had to return it. This may work for some people, but it was way too small for me since I have very thick hair. I didn't actually use it, so my ratings may not be as fair as they should be. April 9, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by BarbJoan Love it I bought this flat iron because my bangs always curl up in humidity. I was traveling in Ireland. This was a terrific purchase for my needs. I only needed this mini size. Heated quickly, straightened my bangs, cooled off in a reasonable amount of time and was a great price! It came with a cute little travel case. I was able to put the flat iron in even when it was still warm! Very happy! June 13, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by francatsmom Good for touch up I purchased this travel flat iron to travel outside of the U.S. My hair is unruly if I don't blow dry straight and flat iron. This flat iron does not get very hot, but is great for a touch up. November 29, 2014

Physical Therapist Richard Szabala Responds:
There are two schools of thought here.
We generally exercise to improve our health and feel better. However, exercising does require increased circulation. When our body is fighting illness, the body increases circulation to the virus to fight off the illness. Will exercising interfere with the body's ability to fight the illness?
According to advice from the Mayo Clinic, if it is a minor illness, such as a cold, you can exercise and it may make you feel better. But if the symptoms of the illness are below the neck, including stomach viruses and chest congestion, or if you are running a fever, you should rest. You may consider decreasing the intensity of your exercise. Instead of running, perhaps take a walk.
It takes about two weeks without exercise for your body to start to lose strength and endurance that you may have built up through your exercise program, so taking a rest will not effect you in that way.
When in doubt, it is best to listen to your body. If you really don't feel like exercising when you are sick, it may be a signal from the body to take a break.
– Richard Szabala PT, OCS
