Hundreds of dog-lovers and their four-legged companions soaked up the sun at PAWS Chicago's 11th annual Beach Party at Castaways Boathouse on North Avenue Beach. Guests savored a summer buffet and dancing, while the pampered pooches enjoyed their own decadent meal, massages and splash pools. A thrilling live auction featuring exclusive lots like an all-inclusive trip to New Orleans on a restored 1920s Pullman railroad car helped the event raise more than $210,000.

Japan Center for a Sustainable Environment and Society (JACSES)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Japan Center for a Sustainable Environment and Society (JACSES)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionInput to the Compilation Document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) Japan Center for a Sustainable Environment and Society November 1, 2011 Japan Center for a Sustainable Environment and Society (JACSES) is an NGO dedicated to achieve sustainable development and social justice. JACSES was established in June 1993. The establishment of JACSES was led by the idea of an independent NGO/think-tank, which was brought up by Japan?s delegates at the 1992 Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. JACSES has been broadly engaged with general public and experts in research, policy advocacy and awareness-raising. Currently, JACSES? activities are centered around Earth Summit Follow-up Project, Sustainable Development and Aid Program, Green Tax Reform Program, Ecological SPACE (Sustainable Production and Consumption) Project, Climate Change Program, etc. 1. Introduction At the time of Rio-Summit in 1992, the expectation toward ?Peace Dividend (reallocation of military expenditures in order to eradicate poverty and solve environmental problems)? was raised. We would like to remind people of the ?Peace Dividend? concept, reconsider the situation of world financial crisis, and reform the international policies and frameworks toward realization of peaceful, sustainable and equitable society. 2. Proposals for Outcome of Rio+20 JACSES suggests the following political commitments to be adopted as the outcome of Rio +20. 2-1. Proposals on Green Economy in the Context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication a) Enhancing financial mechanisms which directly reach poor people and vulnerable people affected by environmental degradations. b) Creating new financial resources for sustainable development through measures including prevention of political corruption, reduction of military expenditure, and imposition of financial transaction tax. c) Establishing/Improving environmental and social standards, environmental management systems and evaluation systems of international financial institutions, national governments (including the emerging countries), private financial institutions and infrastructure funds in order to improve the quality of development assistance and finance. d) Establishing international mechanisms which provide incentives to individuals/entities that develop and/or disseminate appropriate technologies to contribute to sustainable development (e.g. highest energy-efficient technology and renewable energy technology). e) Reforming tax systems and fiscal policies which provide incentives to the individuals/entities contributing to sustainable development and social justice, while impose burdens to unsustainable consumption and production patterns. f) Promoting greater use of renewable energy except for large-scale hydroelectric generation, and starting international discussion process regarding phase-out of nuclear power. g) Introducing standards and indicators on environmental capacity concept including north-south and inter-generational equity. 2-2. Proposals on Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development a) Enhancing transparency and building appropriate evaluation systems of international institutions. b) Strengthening the International Court of Justice and International Labor Organization. c) Strengthening mechanisms of environmental and social consideration in international Trade and investment rules (WTO agreements, FTA etc.).

MSU College of Law students also have status as MSU Lifelong Education students and thereby have all the rights and privileges of Michigan State University students.
A student who has a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.00 and has successfully completed twenty-nine (29) credits at the law school may take up to six (6) hours of elective credits in professionally-related graduate level courses at other colleges at Michigan State University or at any CIC or comparable institution.
Any student wishing to take graduate courses at other colleges at MSU must acquire the prior written approval (signature) of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs on the "Request to Enroll for Elective Credits at Other MSU Graduate Schools" form available from the Registrar's Office (309) or online at: http://www.law.msu.edu/registrar/forms.html
Grades from these courses of "C" or above will be accepted for transfer credits. Grades below "C" will not be transferred or recorded. These courses will count toward the maximum of five (5) total hours of Credit/No Credit grading option under the rules of the Law College.
Credits earned at other MSU graduate schools as approved by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs on the required form will be counted toward fulfillment of the student's graduation requirements only after verification on the system can be obtained by the Law College Registrar's Office.
With the permission of, and at the discretion of the Law College, a student may attend another ABA- and AALS-approved law school as a visitor during a regular semester for compelling circumstances only. Neither financial exigency nor the desire to live or practice in another jurisdiction is a compelling circumstance.
Permission to visit during the summer at an out-of-state law school or foreign summer program of an approved U.S. law school will be liberally granted.
Visitation at an in-state law school will be granted only for courses not offered regularly at Michigan State University College of Law.
Only elective credits may be taken at another law school.
Only grades of "C" or better will be given credit.
Students should check with the Admissions Office of the school they wish to visit or study abroad program to confirm deadlines and requirements. Students should request a visiting student application and not a transfer student application.
Application should be made to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and submitted in a timely manner. To apply for approval the following documents must be submitted:
After approval, students must request a Law College transcript and certificate of good standing from the Registrar's Office by completing the "Academic Record Request" form: http://www.law.msu.edu/registrar/transcripts.pdf (PDF)
After the study abroad or visiting semester is over, students must request a transcript from the visiting school be sent to the MSU College of Law Registrar's Office.
Since the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 does not permit MSU College of Law to request transcripts of students from other institutions, it is the responsibility of the student to assure that an official transcript from the visited institution is sent to the MSU College of Law Registrar's Office at the completion of the semester of visitation. Upon receipt of an official transcript, credits for any course taken at another law school will be recorded as "Pass" when transferred back to MSU College of Law, provided a grade of "C" or better has been earned.
To receive an interim class rank (i.e., a rank after a semester other than your last one), your first year must have been completed at MSU Law. Students who do not receive class ranks can nevertheless receive MSU Law grade comparisons with their MSU Law classmates for the same time period. The Registrar will generate semester reports of the GPAs of those students included in class-rank calculations, indicating decile cutoffs. In lieu of a class rank, those students excluded from class rank calculations can see what decile their GPA from their time at MSU Law falls into.
To receive a final class rank when you graduate, you must have earned at least 70 graded credits at MSU Law. This excludes credits awarded as pass/fail or credit/non-credit, and also excludes credits awarded at other schools.
To be eligible for Class Honors (cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude) you must have received at least fifty-three (53) graded credits at MSU Law. As with class rank, this excludes credits awarded as pass/fail or credit/no credit, and also excludes transfer credits.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shea752 Cinnamon Citrus Crave Crusher I bought this during one of World Markets tea sales. I'm not a huge fan of carob and last time I had it, it tasted like chocolate which I do not like. Yes, I am a woman. Yes, I do not like chocolate especially in tea form. Thankfully this is very cinnamony and very orangey. I think the carob (along with the gymnema) are to sweeten it more than to flavor it. This is another one I recommend you only drink hot. I have made 2 quarts of it cold before and isn't quite the same. It loses a lot of it's sweetness and orange taste and is more of just a cinnamon red tea. I don't know if it has helped me to lose the pounds which I have lost, but it definitely helps to curb cravings especially late night ones (caffiene-free!). This is a weird con, but you have to steep it for at least 5 minutes... (recommended steep is 5-7 minutes... usually teas are 1-4 minutes) So that craving as got to be a little patient... The other con is that it is recommended that you drink it 3 times a day. If I did that each tin would only last 12 days. Thankfully The Republic of Tea has a 250 count refill bag, but still...

Rated 5 out of 5 by LadyMorninstar A great way to fill your tummy I drink this tea a bit stronger then what they suggest, due to the wonderful taste. Have I lost weight? NO! But, I do have a slow thyroid so that could be as to why. BUT! I am not as hungry after drinking this tea, so that is a good thing. January 28, 2014

Dan Connolly's 71-yard kickoff return Sunday for the New England Patriots is by far the most entertaining moment of the 2010 NFL season. What's not to love about an offensive lineman running down the field full speed carrying the football like a newborn baby?
Dan Connolly, who set the record for the longest kickoff return by an offensive lineman since 1969, was more than deserving to be named the AFC special teams player of the week. That being said, Devin Hester easily had the best overall special teams performance in the NFL last week.
Devin Hester, a University of Miami alum, set the NFL record for combined return touchdowns when he scored on a 64-yard punt return in the third quarter during a 40-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings Monday. He accomplished the feat in 73 NFL games.
After the game, Hester got emotional during post game interviews when talking about his college coaches at the University of Miami.
"Everything I'm thinking about, it's coming to me. Coming out of college, coaches told me I wasn't gonna be nothing but a kickoff and punt return dude. I wasn't gonna ever earn a position in the league.
"But I'm here today to say that I am a kickoff and punt returner, but at the same time, the best to ever do it. I'm glad that they said that because right now, I can say today that Chicago Bears are the best punt return team that would ever do this. And we're not gonna stop on this one return. It's gonna be plenty more. It's gonna be a lot more than this. I guarantee you that."
So who had the more impressive special teams record-setting performance to you? Dan Connolly or Devin Hester?

My surgery was at IU Medical Center in Indianapolis Indiana (same as Amylea's mom). I am 2 years 7 months out of surgery and doing well. Next CT scan is 09/18/09.
My wonderful surgeon was:
Dr. Mary Maluccio
1001 West 10th St.
Indianapolis IN 46202
317-278-1531 (office)
317-274-7334 (fax)
I would definitely suggest she be on your list. Compassionate, caring and wonderful surgeon.
Sue..thank you. I have missed your postings. Glad to hear that you are feeling well.
Best wishes,
My liver resection was performed at the Cleveland Clinic and my surgeon was and still is, Dr. John Fung. He is the Department Chair of General Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic and was the former Chief of the Division of Transplant Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. For appointments the number to call is 216-444-3776. http://my.clevelandclinic.org/default.aspx
Dr. Fung is a remarkable surgeon. He took amazing care of me and got me through the darkest time in my life. Although he would be totally in his right to have a huge ego, he doesn't. Can't say enough positive things about him.
Just a note about the Cleveland Clinic....it is a HUGE teaching hospital so there are "teams" that take care of "pieces/parts" of a patient. During my 21 day stay at the Clinic after my resection, I was really frustrated at the lack of communication between the teams.
My mom is being treated at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.
Talia Baker - Surgeon
Mary Mulcahy - Oncology
Robert Lewandowski - Interventional Radiology
They've done a great job with my mom thus far!!!
Thanks Lauri....eventually, we will have a complete listing so very helpful to many.
Thanks again,
Mary's surgeon for her liver trisegmentectomy was Dr. Brendan Visser of Stanford. Mary's oncologist is George Fisher of Stanford. You can find them both by putting their names along with Stanford into your google search window. It is actually faster than using Stanford's own search engine.
Thank you, Pat.
I was seeing Dr. John Keech as my oncologist here in Chico. He has relocated to Seattle. Terrific physician! I'm now seeing Dr. John Hayward.
My surgeon is Dr. Brendan Vissar (as well as the student community) at Stanford Medical Center.
Thanks so very much.
In the Internal Medicine Associates my Dad nearly been treated by Richard Christopher, MD
Because he said that my Dad has a mental health problem.. another says none.
Due to the volume of postings on this site some information may get lost. This one in particular is very important to those searching out a physician. Please, be so kind and continue to help us complete, in this thread, and add the names of your treating physicians. Someone else will benefit from your kindness.
Thanks a bunch,
My mom has been seen by - and is very happy with - Dr. Marschke in Fort Collins, CO:
She has also seen Dr. Alberts at the Mayo in Rochester and Dr. Eckhardt at the University of Colorado in Denver.

Hi all.....I am resurrecting this thread one more time.
My husband Tom has received his treatment at the James Cancer Hospital, part of OSU Medical Center in Columbus Ohio. His original surgeon and continuing care Dr. is Mark Bloomston. He is also seen on occasion by Dr. Tanio-Bekaii Saab. We have also gone to the UPMC Liver Cancer Center in Pittsburgh, Pa and seen Dr. Clarke Gamblin , basically for second opinions and possible liver transplant options. Based on a scale of 1-10 I would give all of them a 10. Mary
Hi Marion,
Seeing these names and hospitals listed is helpful, especially for geographical guidance.
However, should I assume that people are sending in names ONLY if they were happy/satisfied with their experience??
Also, maybe only I care about this since my mother is stage IV (considered non-resectable due ONLY to bone mets & NOwhere else), but I also would love to know what type of treatment these gave, and what stage the cancer was, and how it worked out.
We are "beyond geography", hoping to find someone who is willing to take a chance with a very advanced but healthy patient by trying different things.
Diagnostic second opinions, pain management of bone mets, gall bladder surgeries, etc are all very different aspects that we could also be touching on, in addition to expertise in administering chemotherapy.
I am hesitant to even list my mother's physicians, as they have drawbacks in certain ways. But maybe I should, with a short description of our experience???
Please advise. Many MANY thanks for doing this and so much else!!!
You are bringing up some interesting points. First and foremost, the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation is adamant in acknowledging this board to be one of free expression of thoughts and opinions. Secondly, I attribute the uniqueness of this site to be a direct result of the input shared by each and everyone. The vast amount of knowledge gained by confronting this disease and the kindness shown from each and everyone touched by this cancer is remarkable. No one person leads the discussions nor, do we censor any comments. Collectively, the members (including you) have brought success to this site. I am proud to be part of this group. This, in a roundabout way may answer your question re: hospitals and physicians and whether one should post the good, the bad, and the ugly. Absolutely.
If I remember it right, your Mom is troubled mostly by mets to her bones and she has received radiation. Is she still undergoing chemotherapy with Gem/Cis? How is your Mom doing? Most likely, you have read up on all previous postings re: bone mets. We have a few but; I don't think that we have truly explored to the fullest the unfortunate occurrence of bone metastases and possible treatment options. Collectively we may be able to do so. I am not able to add much to what has already been posted on this particular subject however; someone else may have knowledge to share with us. As a whole though, I think that this board is touching on all aspects of this disease. Your point is well taken regarding the attention given to chemotherapy treatments. Fortunately, people are able to make choices and I believe, that all of us aid each other in the decision making process, if so requested by the poster. We do also applaud and support those choosing a particular treatment (or none) if they feel it best suits their needs. The reason for establishing this particular thread is to provide a network of names of physicians and centers for patients to use as a resource including, the search for second, third, or more opinions. Please, do not hesitate to share with us your valuable experiences and continue to put out your questions and suggestions. It is always very much appreciated and welcome.
Best wishes,
My Husband Tom had his liver resection for CC at the Milwaukee VA Hosptial, Dr. Teresa Quinn was his surgeon. She is awesome and came to the VA from Froedert Memorial Hospital in Milwaukee. She has an extensive background in Liver Resections and Liver Transplants. Somewhere down the line, another Veteran may find this useful.
(The VA uses the team approach and many if not all his doctors were from Froedert Memorial Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin)
His current treatment is being done at BayCare Aurora Hospital, specifically at the Vince Lombardi Clinic. Dr. Nancy Davis is his oncologist. Dr. David Rhodes is his radiation Oncologist. Dr. Dempsey is his Interventional Radiologist and Dr. Ravi Kondivatti is his Gastrointestional Doctor. (All at BayCare Aurora hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin)
I can't help but feeling that Tom is helping all these doctors learn about Cholangiocarcinoma and all of his experiences may be helping others that come down (in this area) with Cholangiocarcinoma.
Although i was not the patient and i did go to every apt with my grandmother we went to Fox chase Cancer Center ( 333 cottman ave philadlephia, PA 19111) 215-728-2570. we saw Steven Cohen.
I do hope I did not come off as critical. I am just wondering how best to use these names. My mother's case does happen to be pretty "hopeless", so knowing more than just the name of the doc and the hospital would help. But I realize we are unique. We have not been offered much after quite a bit of searching. I really feel that having over 5 (my mother now has at least 40) bone mets is a death sentence, with chemo being the only option offered. But she is feeling quite healthy, doing 90 percent of what she wants. It is just so strange to think that she is going to die quite soon. That is why we have some cognitive dissonance- can't SOMETHING more effective still be done as all her functions are still very good???? Most of her body is successfully resisting this evil cancer.
Her first round of gemzar resulted in no side effects except for some fatigue, flat (still high) tumor markers, and a doubling of the mets in her spine from 20 to 40.
Everything else is unchanged. So she is on gem one week then gem-cis the next for 3 months, one month now done. Thankfully no side-effects except fatigue (quite remarkable.) No idea what else is happening, ie with the cancer.
Won't know for a while.
Supposedly, the primary tumor is not any larger than when diagnosed in early Nov 2009, however.
She has never had any symptoms of trouble with the bile duct or liver, etc.
She has had her radiation on one painful tumor in the neck area. The window for radiation on her spinal mets is closed (not sure why). She has Zometa every month with her chemo. That is all she is eligible for.
The big question is: would a doctor anywhere be willing (or legally able) to try anything else on her? Cyberknife is a tumor by tumor thing- she has too many in her spine for that. Local surgery would be a great option, if only she did not have the mets in her spine. She apparently has NO OTHER tumors, not in the liver, no where.
Anyway, we are making sure she is enjoying her life, is comfortable. We just feel so strange "giving up" like this. Our understanding is that a successful result on average with the gemzar is only a few extra months, hopefully side-effect free.
God bless all of you for your inputs, your listening, your advice. And may each of you find some light in your troubles.
Margaret, if you prefer to put this post on another board, feel free.
We even wonder if she really has cholangio- bone mets seem pretty rare, esp if there are no other tumors beside the primary. Or if she has two cancers. Anyway, the biopsies at Sloan-Kettering resulted in "probably cholangio/all same cancer". MRI shows her primary tumor is sitting on the central bile duct. The local doc is "assuming" it is intrahepatic. The only way they got cancer cells was with a needle biopsy- the endoscopic brushing on the inside the central duct failed, and the local doc thought it looked smooth- again not usual way cholangio presents, if accurate. I am now understanding that there are really no absolutely 100% certain diagnoses with cancer. Cell differentiation is the other factor. So that is it.
I will post about the docs she has seen next.
In Nov 2009, at age 76, my mother, a generally healthy person, was found to have about 20 blastic tumors up and down her spine during an MRI to see why her neck was hurting her so badly.
More imaging resulted in the finding of a mass on her central bile duct and gall bladder.
Her local internist referred her locally to Dr Frederick M. Weeks of Vero Beach, FL.
An endoscopic brushing inside the bile duct and a needle biopsy if a bone tumor failed in a local facility.
My mother was able to get an appointment 4 weeks later to see Dr Manish Shah in the GI Dept of Sloan-Kettering in NYC, at the recommendation of Dr Weeks who knew that this was a cancer beyond his expertise, usually incurable and virtually untreatable. The questions were: is this gall bladder/ bile duct cancer, and is the cancer the same in the bones? Based on the answers, we would get a treatment plan from Dr Shah.
My mother had two needle biopsies (one around the gall bladder and ducts and one in the spine) in two depts a week apart two weeks after her initial consultation- Sloan Kettering is a very busy place and it is very hard to get appointments. The conclusion was "probably" cholangiocarcinoma, and bone mets were "likely" from the same cancer.
Dr Shah agreed with my mother's desire to be treated in Vero Beach while living at home. He came up with a treatment plan and forwarded it to Dr Weeks, who is now administering chemo. She started her chemo (finally!) on Dec 24, 2009.
He refused to offer any direction with changes in her diet or additional supplements to enhance her chances of getting the tumors and supporting her immune system. "Don't make any big changes. Just be healthy." Hard for us all to hear as we were reading the Anti-Cancer Diet book, and take numerous supplements ourselves...
There is no continued conversation between the two doctors. Both are very pessimistic ("realistic", in their eyes). They just see it as a matter of time, and even questioned whether she should go on the second more toxic chemo (gem-cis).
It now now four months since her diagnosis.
She is feeling quite normal and has been on the more toxic regimen for about a month.
We are grateful for the good quality of her life. But it is as if she really is not that sick and never has been. But no other treatments seem to be available due to the multiplying bone mets. All the doctors say is that there is nothing else they can do, and that we need to get a grip.
I and my father have TORN UP THE INTERNET to find more treatments. We even asked if Dr Shah if she should add something like an anti-angiogenetic or some other third chemical (directed to a specific pathway of cancer) to her chemo cocktail. I sent him a long list based on cc trials and pancreatic cancer treatments, which seem to be the basis for many cholangio therapies. He just wrote them off, saying that they cause too many side-effects. I did not understand that- I thought targeted therapies caused fewer side-effects than chemo.
My father is horrified at all this. But it is very hard to believe she is dying. We feel bad just "giving up".
Hope this helps others in some way.
Take care, everyone.
Thank you.
Just reviving this post.
I noticed it has been over 6 months since anyone has posted on this site but I think it has very worthwhile information. I would like to add UCSF Medical Center for those who are in California. I called for an appointment with Dr. Venook but since I could not get in to see him for two weeks, I made an appointment with his "understudy". She take all of his "overflow" patients.
I had an appointment with Dr. Robin Kelley, oncologist. I went to her as a second opinion after my first round of chemo and radiation. But she will be my doctor when I have to start chemo, again.
I can't remember anyone being treated in New Zealand for CC so this came up when I was googling and thought I would flag it up here.

Post subject: Advertising and reaction
Below is an article on toys and consumerism during these tough financial times. Don't know what my thoughts are on this but one line (at least) both disturbed me and really got me thinking.
This is the line:
"Unfortunately, I will not be able to purchase many of the toys that my sons have asked for; we simply don't have the money," wrote Todd Helmkamp of Hudson, Ind. "By bombarding them with advertisements ... you are placing parents like me in the unenviable position of having to tell our children that we can't afford the toys you promote."
A large part of this is saying no, something that we most of us have to do even without advertising. I have known teens to ask for really unreasonable things for Christmas like trips to Paris or new cars with little to no justification. And don't parents say no to more than just material things? My son is not allowed to watch certain shows he swears his friends are allowed to watch. One mom had his second grade class in an uproar because she felt comfortable taking her seven year old to R rated films while the rest of the parents did not. More than one parent heard about the cool films Alex got to see that their own child did not. Teaching our kids to curb their desires and to let reason rule over want is part of our job, isn't it?
The article also didn't address where the little ones were seeing the ads. I can think of only one place where children are "bombarded" with advertising and that is TV. Given that teachers and doctors speak constantly of their concern regarding the number of hours many children spend glued to the tube, shouldn't the writer have at least addressed this issue?

Meltdown fallout: some parents rethink toy-buying
By DAVID CRARY, AP National Writer David Crary, Ap National Writer Sat Nov 29, 1:32 pm ET
NEW YORK In a season that inspires earnest letters about toys, one notable batch is being sent not by kids to Santa's workshop but by parents to the executive suites of real-world toy makers.
The message: Please, in these days of economic angst, cut back on marketing your products directly to our children.
The letter-writing initiative was launched by the Boston-based Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, which says roughly 1,400 of its members and supporters have contacted 24 leading toy companies and retailers to express concern about ads aimed at kids.
"Unfortunately, I will not be able to purchase many of the toys that my sons have asked for; we simply don't have the money," wrote Todd Helmkamp of Hudson, Ind. "By bombarding them with advertisements ... you are placing parents like me in the unenviable position of having to tell our children that we can't afford the toys you promote."
The Toy Industry Association has responded with a firm defense of current marketing practices, asserting that children "are a vital part of the gift selection process."
"If children are not aware of what is new and available, how will they be able to tell their families what their preferences are?" an industry statement said. "While there is certainly greater economic disturbance going on now, families have always faced different levels of economic well-being and have managed to tailor their spending to their means."
In recent conference calls with investors, toy company executives said they expect to suffer some holiday-season impact from the economic crisis, yet suggested their industry would be more resilient than many other sectors. The toy industry is commonly viewed as recession-resistant, due largely to the parent-child dynamic.
"Parents have trouble saying no," said Allison Pugh, a University of Virginia sociology professor. She says parents often buy toys to avoid guilt and ensure their children feel in sync with school classmates.
"Even under circumstances of dire financial straits, that's the last thing parents give up," said Pugh. "They'll contain their own buying for themselves before they'll make their child feel different at school."
Amanda Almodovar says she encounters such families in her work as an elementary school social worker in Alamance County, N.C., where homelessness and unemployment are rising.
"I had one parent who said she'd prostitute herself to get what her child wants," Almodovar said. "It's heartbreaking. They feel inadequate as parents.
"I try to tell them, worry about your home, your heating bill but they're the ones who have to look into children's faces, the children saying 'I want this, I want that.'"
Even in some households not in fiscal crisis, there's a sense that this holiday season is different.
John Schenkenfelder, a financial adviser and father of three in Louisville, Ky., wrote a blog entry this month urging families to scale down their gift-giving and spend more time playing together.
"This has been bugging me for years, even when times were great," Schenkenfelder said in a telephone interview. "Maybe people will get it this year they're so unprepared for this debacle. They're shell-shocked."
In Columbus, Ohio, Erin Beth Dower Charron has been trying to brace her 4-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter for more subdued gift-getting this year as the family begins financial belt-tightening.
"My 8-year-old is still holding out hope that Santa will get her that one special gift, but understanding this year may be different," Dower Charron said. "My son doesn't understand. Everything he sees, he wants."
Toy ads on kids' TV shows make the process harder, she said. "The onslaught seems to be more intense this year."
Dower Charron was among the hundreds of parents who took up the suggestion to write to toy companies.
"Help me understand why your toy is the better one for my child, and why it should be one of the few I can afford," she wrote. "Don't leave that up to my children."
The director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, psychologist Susan Linn, said she and her colleagues don't expect toy companies to stop advertising rather, they want the ads directed at parents.
"It's cruel to dangle irresistible ads for toys and electronics in front of kids encouraging them to nag for gifts that their parents can't afford," she said. "It's just not fair."
The big toy makers aren't likely to redirect their ads for one fundamental reason, according to Richard Gottlieb, a New York-based consultant to the industry.
"Toy companies advertise to children because it works, to be brutally honest," Gottlieb said in an interview.
Gottlieb also contends that it's good for children to encounter toy ads even in cases where products later turn out to be disappointments.
"It teaches, for very low stakes, how to navigate in our consumer culture," he said.
"They are going to have to spend the rest of their lives listening to every kind of marketing approach, and childhood is where they will learn to cope with it."
As for the economic pressure on parents, Gottlieb sounds a fatalistic note.
"Believe me, there are families with much bigger issues on their plates right now then worrying about whether their child will be unhappy because they did not get a particular toy," Gottlieb wrote in his "Out of the Toy Box" blog. "Delivering disappointment goes with the job of p

Interesting. Our boys (mostly grown now) have never been led to believe they'd get everything they want for Christmas or any other time. But then, they are five of them.
What we've always done is put up a Christmas Wish List, informing them from the outset that they'll very likely not get everything they ask for (esp. if the list runs to twenty items!), but that the list gives us some idea of what they'd actually like, instead of blindly guessing. Then we've added a few things they're not expecting but that we think they'd like/could use.
Little kids rarely ask for really expensive stuff (a six-year-old is thrilled with a ten buck remote control car, for instance), and the older ones were simply told not to ask for something over X amount of dollars. With the constantly evolving game systems, we bought the first Nintendos and Segas as a group gift, then they generally bought the games used or borrowed from friends. Now they buy their own systems! And one game for Christmas (for the youngest, now 14) seems a reasonable treat.
But the advertising crazies have never really been an issue at our house, perhaps because they really never watched that much TV with those ads, or the stuff never really interested them that much. Sure, there have been things they've really wanted, but not to any excess that I can remember. And when a request was inappropriate, we had no qualms about nipping it in the bud before it could take root...and they were fine with it.
And you know what? Last year three of them bought ME a new (and desperately needed) laptop!

Yes, I believe that's key. If you're honest from the outset that some things are not affordable right now, and ask them to come up with some other options as requests, they eventually "get it." But you begin early with this and not wait until your pockets are hanging inside-out of your pants before you begin explaining it.
I always told my kids they would be in the middle when it comes to anything in life. Some people will always have and get more than they will, and some will always get less. So that puts them in the middle and how bad can that be?
The only time that I can recall where I went berserk with the rest of the crowd was the year(s) that the Cabbage Patch dolls were all the craze. They were expensive and so not worth it. But both girls really wanted them. I got them, but mentally vowed to never again give in to something just because it was making the rounds, unless I felt it really was worth it.

IMO harping on the toy industry for daring to advertise their products (and who can blame them, especially considering that a lot of people are reducing expenses due to the economic climate) is hitting the wrong target here, because it is the responsibility of parents to let their kids know that they cannot have everything.
I was lucky enough to have parents who were/are fairly well off. They probably could have bought me all those expensive sneakers, brandname clothes, walkmen, primitive early videogames, that were the thing to have in highschool. But guess what? I never wanted any of those things, because they didn't interest me. I didn't even like most of the clothes, sneakers made my feet hurt and walkmen gave me headaches. And I figured getting them just to keep up with idiots at school wasn't worth it.
As for toys, yes, I admit that I occasionally fell for some well-produced toy commercials as a child. And when I asked for those toys and really wanted them, I often got them. But sometimes I didn't get them, and guess what? I survived. Plus, my parents told me that if I saved up enough money I could buy anything I wanted, even if my parents wouldn't buy it for me.
When I was very young, five or six, I really wanted a plastic smurf house. My parents didn't buy it for me, so I decided to save up for it. And with pocket money, the occasional coins from grandparents and monetary rewards my parents gave me for doing something they wanted I actually managed to raise the then colossal sum of 30 Marks and buy it (still have it, too, in the attic). My parents told me that I wanted the smurf house so bad, that I suddenly learned all sorts of new skills, e.g. riding a bike, that I previously had refused to learn, because I wanted the money. So I learned to ride a bike (useful eventually), learned the value of saving money (really useful) and got my smurf house, too.
Besides, if a family really is in dire straits financially, I don't see why they cannot sit down with their children and try to explain the situation to them. That's better than pretending everything is okay, when it isn't. Besides, most kids are reasonable and will probably scale down their wish lists to the one or two items they really want. And often those aren't the most expensive things on the list.
Finally, is toy advertising really so pervasive in the US? Because I hardly ever see toy commercials anymore, unless you include videogame commercials. Of course, I don't watch childrens' TV, but before Christmas we used to get toy commercials even during primetime programming.

Advertisers perhaps go overboard, but it absolutely drives me NUTS that many parents seem unable to say "no" to their kids. I don't think kids should get everything they want, even if the parents CAN afford it. Ask kids what they want, sure, but be sure they understand it's not all going to come. That's how I was raised, and I was fine with it as well.
Parents who think saying "no" to their children will scar them for life drive me up the wall.

I am blessed with a mother who absolutely refused to buy anything advertised on TV. (smart cookie) I got dolls and books, etc, for Christmas, but never anything extravagant. (too many kids, too little money)
Once I did get something I begged for, something they made look so enticing and fun in TV ads, I cried and whined (not something I usually did) and my mother broke down and bought it (not something
usually did).
It was Barrel of Monkeys, the stupidest, dullest game ever invented to trick children out of money. My mom was right, and I grew up loving books and inventing games with my friends, instead.

I can recall, as a youngster, wanting a Tonka truck for Christmas. I can't recall whether they were expensive, but the Teamsters' Union was out on strike that year so I suppose cost was a factor. Regardless, the disappointment of not getting it was so extreme, that when my children
(and now grandchildren) reached the age of 5, whether male or female, they got (or get) a Tonka truck. The one I got my son was so sturdily built I used it to move the side-by-side refrigerator.

Oh yes, I got a lot of things my parents wanted for Christmas when they were kids in the deprived war and immediate postwar area. Hence, I got tricycles, bicycles, ice skates, rollerskates and the like. The only problem was that I wasn't a physically very active person and wasn't interested in all those things. I would have been much happier with a doll, a plushtoy or a book.
Though occasionally there is that one toy you really wanted, didn't get and never forget for some reason. My big one was a doll dressed like an Egyptian princess, which was deemed too expensive for a five-year-old. I even went as far as trying to find that doll years later, which proved to be impossible. Eventually, I ended up buying a Madame Alexander Salome doll (also hugely expensive for me at the time) as a substitute.

I think it's an important learning experience for kids to know they can't have everything they want. If they got it, imagine their credit cards as adults!

I think the really important lesson to learn is that things cost money and that money isn't a limitless supply. Most debt problems, whether related to credit cards or mortgages, are the result of people not realizing that money is not unlimited and spending more than they earn.

IMO, it's the opposite (saying "yes") that will scar them. I have friends who divorced after over 20 years together.
complain they never had any money and
kept explaining that bailing his daughter out (they both came into the marriage with 2 kids each -- both had 1 boy, 1 girl) was taking their extra cash. The fact that she was making low-to-mid 6 figures and he was drawing mid-5 figures didn't make her a happy camper, either (i.e., it was
money that was going to the daughter and her druggie hubby).
So, now they are divorced. He still has no money (and no job after son-in-law took cash he'd collected from customers to turn into his employers), daughter still not able to make it -- even with a nursing degree and a decent job -- when her husband doesn't work and does drugs.
Her kids are both married with children. Nice houses. Good jobs. Decent savings. They didn't do without as kids -- both sets of kids got everything they needed and a lot of what they wanted growing up -- just not everything they demanded. It was more the attitude of the parents and how they handled things.

I think it is really unhealthy that the culture of "blame other people but ourselves" is so widespread in our society today.
To blame toy manufacturers for advertising their products which put parents under presuress to buy a "must-have" toys is just like blaming McDonald's for selling burgers causing us all being overweighted, it is not only unfair, it is misguided. The chice to buy and not to buy a product be it a burger or a toy rest entirely on the parents and nobody else.
I have to defend the toy manufacturers and advertsiers for their rights to promote their products to make sure their companies keep on going and making a good profit. Please don't forget toy manufacturers and toy shops as well as advertising agencies and market research companies employ thousands of employees and they too have the right to keep their jobs and be able to buy their sons and daughters what they want.

That's the truth. We could afford to buy my daughter a lot of what she wanted but we did make choices and required her to make choices as well. One thing I gave in on against my better judgment was the My Little Pony Paradise Estate (yecchhh!) that she decided was the one thing she wanted for Christmas when she was about 5. We stayed up most the night Christmas Eve putting together this plastic monster with thousands of decals that had to be placed just so. She did love it and played with it for years but damn it was an eyesore and took up too much space. While having dinner with my daughter and son-in-law recently, I realized from the turn in conversation that she was workin' him over something she thought they needed to buy. I looked my s-i-l in the eye and said "You know she's conned you into believing that she got everything she wanted when she was growing up. Just say no!"

Salutations, fellow Pokemon fans and lovers!
I'm MW Roach (you may or may not have seen my work at FAC, DA, FF.Net and many others). I've been a Pokemon fan since I was 12 years old. I'm [almost] 21 now, and still as big a fan as ever.
I've joined this site for a couple reasons:
1) Looking for other Pokemon fans to chat with
and 2) Looking for members for our forum Pokemon R&T RPG
"Pokemon Rose/Thorn" is an online RPG in the making. Through the combined creative efforts of myself, my Design Team, and one very determine young man (we call him Leo), we're hoping to create the best Pokemon videogame ever and present it to Nintendo in hopes of them publishing it. I also have written 3 made-for-TV-movies that tie in with the Highest level of the game (which I am also designing with Leo). I've created 52 New Pokemon species so far; some original, others Evolutions for already existing Pokemon. My fellow designers have worked hard to create their own species as well.
I hope I'm not breaking any rules by doing this. I do plan on being an active member on this site (and I hope to attract new members to our forum as well).
Thanks for your time, and I hope to meet others who share my passion for Pokemon.
If you're interested and wish to learn more, please visit the link I've provided above.

Heavyweights Use Late Surge To Reach Championship Final; 2V Also Advances
From there, Princeton put together 500 meters it won't ever forget.
With the fastest final split in the field, the Tigers turned a thrilling race into a thrill for the Orange and Black fans, as Princeton sprinted past Stanford and earned a spot in Sunday's 12:20 pm (Pacific) grand final.
Washington, the reigning national champion, led after every split and finished with a comfortable victory in 5:40.74. Conference rival California put itself comfortably in second place during the third split and qualified for the final in 5:42.32.
That left sixth-seeded Stanford and seventh-seeded Princeton to battle for one last spot.
After the first split, Stanford led. After the second, it was Princeton.
The third went to Stanford, which held third by less than half a second with 500 meters remaining, but those would belong fully to the Tigers. Princeton topped Stanford by more than four seconds in that final surge and qualified in 5:44.06.
"We really didn't do anything too differently this morning," junior stroke Will Gillis said. "I think our biggest strength was sticking to our plan and executing it in the last 1000 when we were under pressure. The crew showed a lot of composure today and I was really proud of the way we raced down the course."
"Honestly, that was just some gutsy racing," said head coach Greg Hughes, who has Princeton back in the national final for the second time in three years. "They kept themselves in position for the second half of the race, and they got it done."
It was an especially sweet finish for Princeton, which was passed in the final few strokes of the 2012 IRA semifinal and finished its season in the petite final. This time, the Tigers were the ones making the final pass, and their reward will be one more chance at the best boats in the country.
"Last year's semifinal was a big motivating force going into this race," senior captain Michael Evans said. "When you lose by a foot you tend not to forget about it easily. We are all looking forward to tomorrow very much, as I'm sure it'll be yet another thrilling IRA final."
Much of the credit for the finish goes to a team-wide dedication to even harder work in the offseason, and Hughes felt like all that work paid off Saturday.
"The goal was to get fitter and stronger both mentally and physically," he said. "That kind of race embodied what we were trying to do."
Princeton will race in Lane 1 Sunday, with California (2), Washington (3), Harvard (4), Northeastern (5) and Brown (6) across the line.
"Today was certainly exciting for all of us, but we are focused now on getting ready to deliver what we hope will be our best race of the year in the final tomorrow," Gillis said.
The second varsity eight, which went undefeated during the regular season but was edged by Brown at the Eastern Sprints, will also race for the national championship Sunday. The 2V held second position throughout their semifinal and, despite late charges by both Northeastern and Wisconsin, never gave the position up.
Washington led by more than three seconds after 500 meters and was never really challenged the rest of the way. Princeton built on its lead over Northeastern during each of the first three splits, but then had to deal with both Northeastern and Wisconsin battling it out for the crucial third spot.
While both boats made up ground, Princeton held off the charge and took second in 5:52.40, while Northeastern stayed in front of Wisconsin in 5:53.33.
"Washington got out in front early off the start and showed that they are a talented crew with good speed," said junior Dave Mackasey. "It was encouraging to see that we could hang with them and hold off pushes from two strong crews in Northeastern and Wisconsin. We executed our race plan like we had discussed, and got the job done. Tomorrow will be an exciting test for the 2V as we get our shot at the national championship."
Princeton will be in Lane 5 for the final, and it will be joined by Brown (Lane 1), Boston University (2), Washington (3), California (4) and Northeastern (6).
"I think as a group of guys we know that we are capable of big things," Mackasey said. "We had a great season, going undefeated in our duals. At Sprints, Brown came back and edged us in the last 500 to take home the championship. While a silver medal at the Sprints is impressive in itself, we all left disappointed, and that loss fueled two weeks of focused and intense training. Qualifying for the final at the IRA is a step towards the final goal. We're all excited to have the opportunity to bang heads with the country's best talent in tomorrow's final."
The second varsity grand final will be held at 11:20 am Pacific time.
The freshman eight placed fourth in its semifinal, and it will race in the petite final at 10:40 am, while the varsity four will race in the third-level final at 8:50 am.

I have never read anything by Eloisa James. Is this a good place to start? Do you have a favorite by her? Thanks for any insight!

I would suggest starting with the first book in that series, MUCH ADO ABOUT YOU. In fact, that's where I tell most EJ readers to start. Its a good book, plus it gives a feel for her intertwined stories. You could also start with any of her fairy tale stories. The best of those imho is WHEN BEAUTY TAMED THE BEAST.
She's one of my favorite authors. Hope you enjoy!

I would agree with Manda and frankly,
Much Ado About You
is my favorite James book. I also enjoyed, and would recommend,
Duchess In Love
which was the first James book I ever read. But I stopped reading Ms James' books after Pleasure For Pleasure (even though they are well written) because she has too many secondary characters for my taste.
Later that night, still 1789!

KM,A was actually the first book by her I read. I would say that it's easier to follow if you've read MAAY -- with the caveat that I think the first is a weaker book.

I, on the other hand, think

The 4-book Essex Sisters series is what made me into a huge Eloisa James fan. (I've long since dropped her from my auto-buy list... her latest stuff is very hit-or-miss for me.)
I definitely recommend all 4 books and you should read them in order.
Much Ado About You
sets up a story that continues throughout the entire series. For me,
was my favorite of the four as well.

I am not really a huge Eloisa James fan, but this is one of the few books by her I truly enjoyed. A keeper for me, though I realize it's not highly recommended or extremely popular.
I quite like how unrepentant Annabel is in her scorn and snobbery at the start and how she matures. I always have a soft spot for a heroine who actually comes with flaws instead of being infinitely worldly, intelligent, kind, and modest in her beautiful or humble in her plain Jane-ness while looking after every orphan and prostitute in her vicinity and penning articles on the Corn Laws for her local paper.
I think it may be a frustrating read for some (and truthfully it is nothing extraordinary), but I really adored it.

The Essex Sisters series is my favorite too, but I have enjoyed all of Eloisa's books, maybe some a little more than others naturally. I love her handling of language, multiple story threads, and literary allusions as much or more than anyone writing romance today.

I think the nicest thing about the Essex Sisters Series is that you see the girls in all the books. You really get to know them and by the last two you really have seen those two heroines and want them to get their HEA.

The MFA in Visual Arts Program | Academic Requirements | Student Learning Outcomes | MFA/MA Academic Requirements | Courses | Advising & Review Process | Thesis & Exhibition
The MFA in Visual Arts Program
The MFA program in the School of Art+Design is a two-year, interdisciplinary graduate program in the visual arts. This small and highly selective program fosters the artistic, intellectual, and professional growth of each student through exposure to a variety of viewpoints represented by faculty, visiting artists, and critics, and through independent studio work and academic studies. Emphasis is placed on the development of originality, clarity, and studio discipline that will carry into the student's professional career. The focus on independent studio work encourages discovery of individual forms of expression. This is accomplished through one-on-one meetings with faculty sponsors chosen each term, group critiques, and cross-disciplinary critiques with the MFA faculty.
Each graduate student is expected to produce a body of work during their two years, culminating in an MFA exhibition accompanied by a written thesis. For those interested in developing teaching skills and pedagogical approaches to art making, opportunities are available to assist in the teaching of undergraduate courses and, when appropriate, to develop and offer courses.
The extensive facilities of the school, including photography, video, and digital labs, a furniture-grade woodshop, metal shop, printmaking studios, all housed within the school's 160,000 square foot building, are available to MFA students. In addition, each MFA student is assigned a semiprivate studio space. Thirty-five miles south of the campus, the vast art resources in New York City also play a crucial role in every student's curricular and extracurricular studies.
MFA in Visual Arts/MA in Art History
Graduate students have an opportunity to earn both an MA in art history through the School of Humanities and an MFA in visual arts through the School of Art+Design. For information on this three-year option, please refer to MFA/MA Academic Requirements.

This flattering shirt is hand-dyed in Bali in the village of Padangsambian. Artisans use traditional batik methods to apply melted wax to fabric, using hand-carved stamps. When the fabric is dyed, the waxed areas resist the dye, and the pattern emerges when the wax is removed.
Made in Indonesia. Rayon/Lycra® blend with an empire waist. Women's sizes S (4-6), M (8-10), L (12-14), XL (16-18).
Hand-wash. We recommend washing before wearing to remove any lingering scent from the batik-dyeing process.
The wax-resist dyeing technique of batik has been found from Egypt to Mali and from India to Malaysia, as early as 2,000 years ago. The most exquisite batik comes from Indonesia, where the technique has evolved into high art over the past few centuries.
The most traditional form of batik begins with a needle-like object called a canting, through which melted wax flows as the artists uses it to draw a design or pattern on fabric. When the fabric is placed in a dye vat, the color will not permeate the areas that have been permeated with wax. For more complex patterns, this wax and dye process can be repeated with any number of dye colors. After the final dip into the dye vat, the fabric is hung to dry and the wax is dissolved in a solvent or melted away with a hot iron, revealing the previous layers of protected fabric as well as the crackling lines that are the hallmark of batik.
In the 20th century, Javanese batik artists developed a process by which batik could be executed more quickly, but still by hand. Now, a copper block is often used to transfer wax in a predetermined pattern over a larger area. While still most frequently found on fabric, batik can be done on paper, wood, or even ceramic.

Pretty but smelled when opened

Comments about Turquoise Batik Empire-waist Shirt:
When I opened this product it was as pretty as it looked on line but smelled very bad. I decided to take a chance that washing would take care of the problem and since washing it smells somewhat better. Maybe another washing will get rid of the smell. Could it have been packed in plastic too long? On the pro side, it fits well (true to size) and the colors are great. The fabric is not exactly what I expected but I'm giving it a try since it was reduced in price.

Very nice shirt, I would purchase again
By Carol
from Myrtle Beach, SC
The empire styling adds a pizzaz over regular shirts and tunics. Fast drying, non-wrinkling fabric makes it ideal for travel or easy living.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The first thing that ran though my mind when I saw this bar was: what's a tiffin? It sounds like something belonging to Little Miss Muffet sitting on her tuffet. Still, the silly name tickled me and the bar was secured a place in my shopping cart. After doing a little research, I found that this seems to be a very sought after and hard to find Cadbury bar. It's from Northern Ireland and is similar to the standard Cadbury Fruit and Nut, except the nuts are taken out and replaced with biscuit pieces. So raisins+cookie shortbread=the Cadbury Tiffin.
The bar itself is small but hefty and is sectioned into six squares per 50 gram bar. It has vegetable fat in the chocolate itself, so it's a cheapened chocolate. The smell of the chocolate bar is overpowerfing of the dry dairy milk powder. The color of the chocolate is a pretty, light milky brown.
My first bite and I immediately got a raisin which was wonderfully sweet, rich and chewy. The chocolate tasted different to me from the Cadbury Dairymilks I've had in the past. This was overwhelmingly flavored with the milk powder, so much so tha the bar almost tasted sour to me. After the dairy hit you get the burning sweetness of the sugar, but I really get no "chocolate" flavor from it at all. Instead I get a smooth mouth feel, which is probably more from the vegetable fat than the cocoa butter. The second bite I finally got bits of the cookies, which are very small bits of shortbread. They do provide a bit of texture but no flavor.
Overall, a nice bar for a good "candy" hit, but if I'm craving chocolate, I'll get something else.

Many women think of heart disease as a man's disease. In reality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death for women age 65 and older and the second leading cause of death among women ages 45 to 64 in the United States and Canada. It includes many conditions, such as myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, hypertension, stroke and valvular heart disease. More women than men die from heart disease. This may be because it is detected at later stages in women than in men as women's symptoms can be different than men's.
Menopause and CVD risk
After menopause, however, a woman's risk increases, leading some to suggest that estrogen provides cardioprotective benefits. The extent to which lowered estrogen levels may lead to an increase in CVD risk is not clear, but research continues, including investigations into whether hot flashes are related to a woman's CVD risk.
Risk factors
Major risk factors associated with CVD in women include:
- Age 55 or older
- Cigarette smoking
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- African-American heritage
- High cholesterol
- Poor diet, obesity, metabolic syndrome
- Family history of CVD
- Stress
- Premature menopause, especially if reached before age 35
Your clinician may use the Framingham Risk Score to estimate your 10-year risk for developing CVD events. Points are assigned to various levels of risk, which are then translated into the 10-year estimated risk for CVD events. Risk factors included are age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, ongoing treatment for hypertension and cigarette smoking.
Maintaining heart health
Women with risk factors for CVD should initiate lifestyle changes to decrease their overall risk:
Don't smoke. Smokers are considerably more likely to have a heart attack than nonsmokers. But there's good news. When a woman stops smoking, no matter how long or how much she smoked, her risk of heart disease drops rapidly. There are many other good reasons not to smoke. These include increased vitality, improved appearance, and decreased risk of osteoporosis and cancer of the cervix, lungs, mouth and throat. There are numerous programs and aids available to help women quit smoking. A good place to start is smokefree.gov/.
Control blood pressure. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is defined as an arm cuff reading greater than 140/90 mm Hg. It is preferable to keep blood pressure below 120/80.Even mild elevations can double the risk of stroke or heart attack. High blood pressure becomes more common as women age. In fact, more than 50 percent of all women over age 55 are affected. Black women are especially susceptible. Regular blood pressure testing is important because high blood pressure rarely causes symptoms. High blood pressure can be controlled by eating a healthy diet, limiting salt and alcohol, exercising on a regular basis and reducing stress.
Control cholesterol. Bringing cholesterol levels to within normal limits has a significant impact on heart disease risk. Total cholesterol should be less than 200 mg/dL. Other goals include maintaining high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL, the "good cholesterol") and low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, the "bad cholesterol"). Target levels for HDL are at least 50 mg/dL; for LDL, optimal levels are less than 100 mg/dL, even lower for women with heart disease risks. To lower your cholesterol, be sure to maintain a healthy weight, exercise, and make HDL fats and fiber part of your diet.
Exercise regularly. A sedentary lifestyle is almost as great a risk factor for heart disease as smoking because of diminished circulation and weight gain. Regular physical activity promotes heart health and has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks in women. For heart health, all women should aim for at least 30 to 60 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise (brisk walking, for example) most days—provided that this amount is first approved by their healthcare provider.
Improve nutrition. Choose a diet that includes:
- A variety of fruits and vegetables
- Whole grains
- Low- or nonfat dairy products, soy food products
- Fish
- Legumes
- Sources of protein low in saturated and trans fat (such as poultry, lean meats, and plant sources like beans, seeds and nuts)
Avoid foods that have:
- A high amount of cholesterol
- A high amount of saturated and trans fat
- A high amount of salt (limiting salt may help control high blood pressure)
Additionally, alcohol consumption should not exceed one or two drinks a day, and no more than seven per week.
Don't use hormone therapy to prevent heart disease.Previously, hormone therapy (HT) was thought to reduce the risk of heart disease, primarily because of its beneficial effects on cholesterol. However, more recent studies have shown that some types of HT increase the risk of heart disease, blood clots, and stroke. Recently, there has been debate on whether the age at which a woman begins HT makes a difference, as some studies show heart benefits when starting HT closer to menopause. It appears in some studies that only when a woman with a risk of heart disease starts HT after menopause that problems could arise. Current government recommendations are cautious, stating that estrogen should not be used to prevent heart disease. Also, a woman with heart disease should not begin HT without careful consideration of the risks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimbertx I love this coffee! I have tried every different coffee in the grocery store and just couldn't find one I liked. I tried this one when it was on sale and I was hooked! I love it, but I will also try some other flavors to see which of them I like as well. June 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by StumpNYC Why 6? Six bags won't keep fresh. Can't understand why you don't sell this product individually. I used to order three. February 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrPhil Good go to coffee Always enjoy having a cup of Breakfast Blend when in the mood for a "good cup of coffee." Nothing fancy; just something to sit back and enjoy on "those days" we all have. January 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by suze3362 Great hostess gift! I've enjoyed many different flavors of coffee from WM for years and the Breakfast Blend is right there at the top. I was so sad when the store located an hour from me closed and now the closest store is 3 hours away! However the only purchase was quick and easy and I had free shipping! My hostesses truly enjoyed the 'Coffee Basket" we gave them! September 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by thrallz Good Coffee We like this coffee and the french roast as well. We usually buy both and switch off. I love the size of the package, great to stay fresh. I especially love when they go on sale buy one get one free :) I usually stock up. We are members of the World Market Explorer, coffee club which is great, you buy so many and they will send you a coupon for another one free. Great deal and for something like this that we use daily makes it a terrific reward. This is high quality coffee. Would highly recommend. Nice to make gift baskets as gifts with as well.
