Disease Proof
Bypass Surgery
In January I interviewed Ronnie, who had quadruple heart bypass surgery at the relatively young age of 46. On the member center of DrFuhrman.com I recently asked him to describe what the surgery was like, and requested that he "spare no details." All of us were deeply moved by his story, and Dr. Fuhrman suggested that I post it here on Disease Proof. Dr. Fuhrman also stated that bypass surgeries are performed all over the country, every hour of every day; and that this suffering can be completely avoided. May we all wake up to the serious reality of eating disease promoting foods.
What were the few days leading up to your surgery like?
My addictions and health had deteriorated to the point that when I ate, I would have difficulty breathing. I couldn't do the simplest of tasks (shower, take out the trash, move furniture, mop or vacuum the floor) without being out of breath. My entire body hurt continuously. I had bleeding hemorrhoids and had to wear protection that often wasn't adequate. Every time I went to the doctor, about every two weeks, he would look at me and shake his head in disgust as he wrote out a new or stronger prescription. Every time he listed the same reason for my infirmities: morbid obesity.
I was taking high doses of two, powerful blood pressure medications and was prescribed the third because it was still high, 161/110. I knew I was in trouble. In the few days preceding my surgery, I remember feeling impending doom. I shucked it off like I always did thinking in the end I would get everything right with a pill or a sudden burst of self will. On September 8, 2005, I ate a heavy lunch and then went to my office and sat down at the computer. I felt discomfort in my chest, but it wasn't severe so I thought it was indigestion. It got a little stronger so I told my staff that I was going home. I was awakened the next morning by chest pain that was more severe, and it wouldn't go away. I went to the local hospital and was sent home after a battery of tests which they forwarded to my doctor.
My doctor called on Saturday at 8pm and told me to go immediately to a specific emergency room in Dallas that specializes in heart care. They took one look at me and the symptoms I was presenting and admitted me. I remember the doctor bending over me, and in a solemn tone said, "Mr. Valentine, I'm so, so sorry, but you're going to have to have bypass surgery, and you're going to have it quickly." Needless to say my wife and I were devastated.
Please explain what bypass surgery was like.
I can't begin to explain all the images and thoughts that ran through my head as I awaited open heart surgery. The regrets of past actions weighed heavily on my heart. I felt utterly hopeless and full of self disdain. Plus, it was humiliating to be shaved from head to toe by two aides who were more concerned with the way their kids had been misbehaving than the patient who was facing the most traumatic event of his life.
Right before being transferred to the operating room, I asked to see my wife, kids and brother. They were standing by my side as I explained what I wanted in the event the surgery didn't go well. I made it clear that I didn't want to remain on life-support, and told them how much I loved them. As they were leaving the room, I called my brother aside, grabbed his hand, and felt his strength as he clasped my hand. I pulled him close and looked deep into his tear filled eyes and said, "Gary, you will be the one that has to make the call. Peggy will not have the strength." We put our foreheads together and shared one of the deepest, most heartfelt moments that I have ever experienced. Neither one of us could speak, but volumes were communicated in that utter silence.
I was ready. I called for the techs, and as they began to transfer me to the gurney, I tried to rise up a little and my back suddenly cramped. I exclaimed, "My back is cramping" but they just laughed it off and said, "Pretty soon you won't be feeling anything."
In the OR they transferred me to a stainless steel slab, and I keep telling them that my back was cramping in a full spasm and that I needed to sit up to relieve it. They wouldn't let me due to all the needles and wires hooked up to me. So I suffered in excruciating pain while staring at the bright light overhead.
Next, the doctor put a mask on my face and said, "This will take care of your pain and give you relief." I said a prayer, pictured my wife in my mind, and then closed my eyes...
The next thing I recall was the most exhilarating thing I've ever heard: my name!
My wife and the nurses were calling my name in the recovery room. I had survived! I was given a new lease on life; a new chance, and I was ready for anything . . . so I thought.
That joyful moment was overcome with excruciating pain in my back. My spasm was still there after five hours of surgery! Then I felt like I was choking to death because of the ventilating tube that was stuck down my throat. The back spasm would not let my lungs expand enough to get a good breath. When I tried, I would get a sharp pain that would stop my lungs from expanding and filling with air. I desperately tried to communicate this to the nurses, but they just blew it off as me wanting the tube out of my throat, which is normal for everyone after surgery.
I was strapped to the bed. I couldn't move for over eight hours while feeling the awful cramping, coupled with the fact that I couldn't breathe. I felt like I'd been buried alive. When they finally took the tube out, and let me sit up, my spasm immediately went away.
Then I was transported to a hospital room for the arduous task of recovery.
Six days afterwards, the surgeon came into my room to examine me, and after pushing on my chest, he made the decision to operate again to re-secure my chest bone because one of the wires had given way.
I had no choice. I had to undergo another major surgery.
Almost three years later, Ronnie had to have three stents put into an artery, and was sent home to die. The next morning he awoke at 3am with more chest pain so he typed "reverse heart disease" into his computer's search engine. That day, July 10, 2008, he discovered Dr. Fuhrman's web site and embraced the high nutrient eating-style. Today, Ronnie is the epitome of health and fitness. Not only did he lose 140 lbs, but he is now free from all medications, surgical procedures and dependence upon doctors. He is now well!
Imagine if Ronnie had found Dr. Fuhrman earlier, none of this would've been necessary. When the nation learns about how effective Dr. Fuhrman's nutritarian diet is to rapidly reverse even very advanced heart disease, who in their right mind would choose bypass surgery?

What a powerful story. I hope it gives hopes to those who think there are no alternatives and gives pause to those headed in Ronnie's direction of bypass surgery. Ronnie, congratulations on completely turning your health around with Dr. Fuhrman's help. Fantastic!
wow. this story brought tears to my eyes. tears of joy for Ronnies amazing recovery and tears of frustration for a society that refuses to see the truth.
This story made me cry, too. Ronnie, you don't even look like the same person anymore. You look like a much younger man. Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring us all.
I followed Ronnie's story from the day he joined Dr. Fuhrman's forum. Everyday I would anxiously check his progress, knowing that if he was following Dr. Fuhrman's advice to the letter, he would experience great things! Boy, did he ever! After all this time, I still get tears in my eyes when I reread his story. Yes, a powerful story! If only others had the drive, perseverance and most importantly, Dr. Fuhrman's knowledge and guidance.
Knowledge is POWER!!
Wonderful transformation! It must have been so hard. I love eating this way and exercising, too. You inspire me even more.
ronnie..you continue to inspire
you're awesome!
Wow! What a transformation. Ronnie's hair even changed color
I was a criticial care RN who worked in the Open Heart Surgery ICU. I took care of people immediately after bypass sugery for many, many years. It is a place you dont want to be as a pt. I would typically have a pt connected to many dif't IV drips/medications. IVs/lines/monitors would go into their neck. Lines in their arteries. Staples(or now... See More glue) down their chest incision. Tubes down their nose. A tube down their throat for breathing. I would suction sputum out of their breathing tubes since you cant cough it out. All the pt's modesty was gone. Families were at the bedside so upset & I found myself counseliing them.
Funny thing is after such an ordeal, in a day or 2 when they started eating again they were served such unhealthy meals! I'll never forget the 1 pt who told me as he was eating his swedish meatballs in buttered noodles how happy he was to have his heart fixed because now he can eat what he wants! He was completing his menu for the next day; scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast! (yes, this is off the hospital menu!) Bypass surgery does not cure you. It just bypasses a blocked artery. If one continues on a self destructive path more blockages will occur. Pts are poorly educated post-op
I have come to terms with the fact that I am a food addict. Not sure if this is a "true" addiction, but I am not sure how to begin to get it under control. My life revolves around food and tons of soda.
Wonderful post!!! Way to go!
Thanks Patty for posting that eye-opening comment - bypass surgery is such a traumatic event.
Shels, oh my, food addiction is as true of an addiction and alcohol, drugs, nicotene, or any other life-destroying, relationship-destroying, health-destroying addiction. If you could only get a glimpse of the suffering that goes on behind the closed doors of American homes due to food addiction - it's real - very real. It has ruined some lives to the extent Dads and Moms don't even have the strength or ability to fix a decent meal for their children anymore. Children are left to totally fend for themselves and are neglected due to the all-consuming addiction. Food addiction is progressive. Unless radically stopped, it only gets worse. However, the great news is that Dr. Fuhrman succinctly explains how to get out of it in Eat for Health. Many, worse-case-scenerio food addicts are now totally free!
Freedom to all!
shels - For help with food addiction in a group setting where you can be supported by people who understand food addiction you might check out Celebrate Recovery if you happen to be of the Christian faith or are open to it. If not, Overeaters Anonymous, OA, is run just like Alcoholics Anonymous, AA. Dr. Fuhrman's books, Eat to Live and Eat for Health, also speak to the addictive nature of many foods and how changing your diet to a primarily plant based food plan can dramatically reduce food cravings.
You've already completed a courageous step in admitting you struggle with food addiction. There is hope for sure!
Begin by reading Dr. Fuhrman's Eat For Health, then join the member center at Dr Fuhrman.com for the support you need and to communicate with Dr. Fuhrman.
Listening to him, I believe that he is sincere about wanting to help people live a happier and healthier life. However, after looking through his website I noticed that none of his suggestions of what types of foods to eat or the examples of recipes given involve meat. In fact, I walked away from here thinking that meats were looked upon as something to avoid all together and that becoming a vegetarian was the path Dr. Fuhrman prefers taking.
I was put off by this. To think that you can not be happy or healthy if you continue to consume meat products seems a bit too extreme. I agree that processed meats should be limited or maybe even avoided all together, however unprocessed beef, pork, chicken or fish should not be eliminated from your diet. Is this why supplements are suggested while on his plans, because you are losing the necessary nutrients that you get from these types of meats?
I was really excited about starting over after hearing Dr. Fuhrman on the radio however, after noticing that all his suggestions and guidelines on this site involve a conversion to a vegan lifestyle, I don't think I will be starting over with him.
If my assumption are not correct or over stated, please correct me. I was excited for the first time, in a long time would like to involve his ideas of nutrition into my lifestyle, but only if there are suggestions and recipes that involve some meats. Please let me know. email@example.com.
Your assumption is incorrect - Dr. Fuhrman recommends minimizing animal products, but his plan does not require that you avoid them entirely. There are both vegan and non-vegan recipes in Dr. Fuhrman's books. For more information on Dr. Fuhrman's views on vegetarian diets, please see this article: http://drfuhrman.com/library/article17.aspx
I have been eating according to Dr. Fuhrman's recommendations for six years, and I am not a vegan or vegetarian. However, animal products are more a condiment or seasoning in my diet now, and I very rarely eat a chunk of meat as a main dish. I also avoid processed meats. For personal health reasons I don't eat any dairy products.
For my first year Eating to Live, I did the vegan version of the diet, because like Ronnie, I needed a big change to get me off the unhealthy path I was following. I'd never heard the word vegan before and had a sense that it was going to be too touchy-feely granola for me. I decided to do the "radical" vegan diet for a few weeks, and deal with the embarrassment, to get rid of my desire for unhealthy foods. However, I enjoyed that way of eating so much, and it worked so well -- way better than I expected -- that I continued with it for a little over a year. It did not seem extreme at all once I got used to it!
I only returned to eating small amounts of meat because my husband and family were not interested in improving their health through diet, and so I was (and still am) preparing animal-centered meals for them most days. It was just more convenient for me to add some meat into my diet, in order to spend less time preparing separate meals. However I have adhered to Dr. Furhman's guidelines for a diet style that includes minimal, unprocessed animal products.
Truthfully, I was probably a little healthier and happier when I was not eating any animal foods. At least now it will be a small and easy step to return to that diet style should I ever decide to do that.
The only supplement that is really required if you are a long-time vegan is a small amount of B12. Otherwise a whole foods, vegan diet is going to be nutritionally superior to one that is based on meat, because it is going to have substantially more micronutrients per calorie. Years ago when I was on Atkins, I was floored by how many supplements were needed on a mostly animal based diet! About twenty pills a day, plus a laxative if I remember right! Now I just take a multi (Dr. F's Gentle Care), an extra vitamin D, and 1/8 tsp of a liquid EPA-DHA.
It is possible to follow a whole foods, plant based diet as Dr. Fuhrman recommends, even if your spouse, family, and others around you do not. And the rewards are well worth the extra thought and effort.
I just had bypass surgey on 16/12/2010.and I'm only 32years old.

Goshen's Launchpad emerging as an uncommon place to work
GOSHEN Walking into the Launchpad above the Goshen Chamber of Commerce, you can feel it is not your typical office environment.
There are no cubicles and no ordered desks. There's not a wall in sight.
In fact, there's really nothing impeding movement or vision throughout the room. And the many windows throughout the space provide plenty of natural lighting.
Yet these details simply accentuate the type of working atmosphere Chamber officials and current Launchpad members are working to cultivate within the Launchpad.
The Chamber's small business incubator opened early this past summer for clients in need of workspace while trying to get their businesses off the ground.
Though the model has shifted slightly, the Launchpad is providing space for local entrepreneurs to grow their companies and work to support one another in the process.
Filling the Launchpad was slow-going at first. But the Chamber's collaboration with Gina Leichty and Grace Bonewitz of Eyedart Creative Studio has recently put the space on the fast track to filling up.
Originally, the Chamber was looking to fill the space with start-up businesses that would use the space to get their companies off the ground.
"There are a number of places like this," Leichty said, citing other incubators in Indianapolis and West Lafayette. "But it's uncommon for a city the size of Goshen to be this progressive with styles of work environments," she said.
After only a few members signed up after the Launchpad first opened, Leichty and Bonewitz began informal discussions with Chamber officials about how to best identify possible members.
Those discussions led to opening the space up to what Chamber President David Daugherty refers to as "microbusinesses."
He defined the term as already-established individuals who run their own business from home who might want, or need, a separate space for work.
"It could be writing, it could be really selling just about anything you can imagine," Daugherty said. "But it's the idea that you're working at home or out of your house and you really need a place to get away from the noise and get work done."
Through networking with some contacts, Leichty and Bonewitz have been able to attract quite a few more members to the Launchpad.
The Chamber initially envisioned being able to accommodate 20 clients in the space, and currently have about 11 different member businesses utilizing the Launchpad, with a few more applications likely on the way.
"We're not at 20 clients yet, but we're building pretty quick thanks to the help of Gina and Grace," Daugherty said.
Currently, the space is home to eight microbusinesses, two small business clients and one Goshen College student.
The work done by members varies from magazine publishing, freelance writing and marketing to information technology for banks and furniture design.
"It's a wide variety," Daugherty said.
The team of Bonewitz and Leichty didn't help only attract new members. They also helped provide some life to a layout that was seemingly lacking it.
With the shifting of some furniture and addition of the paintings and plants, the Launchpad became much more welcoming to potential members.
The collaboration between Eyedart and the Chamber is simply one part of the larger approach to business that permeates the Launchpad.
"The whole workplace environment is really shifting for a lot of small businesses," Leichty said.
"The idea that you would go and rent a small office somewhere is not something that people in our demographic are really looking for."
When considering members' applications, the Launchpad's advisory board, of which Leichty is a part, looked for individuals that would be willing to work with and help support one another.
"That's something we're being very intentional about is trying to promote each other's businesses," Leichty said.
"So anybody that does come in, you sort of have in mind the idea that you're willing to collaborate with others and help others succeed."
Even the layout is not akin to a traditional office setup.
Tables, both for sitting and standing at are scattered throughout the room. A plant sits atop each of the desks to help spur creativity and production. The walls are covered with original paintings.
Interaction between members is made a top priority.
Bonewitz provides a word-of-the-day on a whiteboard near the front of the room. Members have held contests to help foster the small community. December's contest was exercise-related. This month, members are taking part in a water-drinking contest.
Cupboards, a small refrigerator and a coffee machine are available, and snacks and drinks are shared among members with only one rule: Bring more than you take.
And each member of the Launchpad is expected to help support and work with other members.
Group and one-on-one discussions are a common occurrence when one member wants some fresh ideas.
A business looking for someone to write something up might enlist the help of one of the freelance writers.
"We're working at creating the environment where we work together as a team," Bonewitz said.
"Even though all these people have different businesses they're working on, we want it to be a fun environment where you can bounce ideas of off one another and brainstorm."
"The idea is rather than being competitive, it's very collaborative," Leichty said.
The atmosphere in the Launchpad is something that could be gaining steam among younger small business entrepreneurs, Leichty said.
She believes what's happening on South Main Street is just an example of how small companies will conduct their business in the future.
"Collective work environments are much more acceptable and desired," she said.
"To recruit the kind of talent that Goshen wants to have and Goshen wants to grow, a place like this is really just a key component to making that successful."

My favorite photos of the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, just outside of Naples, Italy. No text, just photos. A nice preview of what a tour of Pompeii might hold for you on your next holiday. My husband is Napolitan and though we've traveled to Italy many times, this December, 2007 was the first time I had ever been to Pompeii. It was truly amazing and the photos tell an excellent story. The great part was that the sky was crystal clear and there were hardly any tourists there--so the photos are just amazing.
I'm a web developer by trade and married to a programmer who also happens to be my best friend and the love of my life. He's from Italy so we travel frequently and have great opportunities to snap lots of photos. I founded a national organization to support Marine Corps families whose sons and daughters are deployed overseas. Currently MarineParents.com takes most of my time. Some day I hope to get back to the creative side of me and do more preservation of moments so they won't be lost in time like "tears in rain". I have about a half dozen or so books I'd love to write. I need to retire from the work world first though. I love to take photos and have literally thousands to publish of my travels to Italy, Washington DC, San Diego, Chicago, Houston, St. Louis, and more. Photo books will be what I publish for now. I hope to travel more some day and hope to write and write and write...

Dec. 6, 2012
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -
Alabama landed five players on the Walter Camp All-America Team, including four on the first team, which was announced on Thursday night by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
Senior center Barrett Jones, junior cornerback Dee Milliner, junior linebacker C.J. Mosley and senior guard Chance Warmack all earned first-team honors, while junior tackle D.J. Fluker was named to the second team.
Alabama has had 19 players secure 25 first-team All-America honors over the past five years, bringing its total to 111 first-team All-Americans in its history.
Jones, who hails from Germantown, Tenn., has started 49 games at the Capstone, including 13 this season at center. He has blocked for eight 100-yard rushers in 2012 and 33 in his career. In the 12 regular season games, Jones missed just six assignments on 656 snaps and graded out at 90 percent or better in nine of those games.
Milliner, a native of Millbrook, Ala., is tied for third nationally in passes defended with 18 (16 PBU, 2 INT) and has 51 tackles with four tackles for loss. His 18 pass breakups are also a career best and rank third on Alabama's single-season list. Throughout his career, Milliner has collected 34 pass breakups, ranking him second in school history and tied for second among active players nationally.
Mosley, from Theodore, Ala., leads the team with 99 total tackles. In addition, he has seven tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, two pass breakups, one recovered fumble and a forced fumble. Mosley ranks ninth in the Southeastern Conference in tackles per game (7.92) and has had at least six tackles in 10 of the Crimson Tide's 13 games this season.
Warmack has started 39 games at the Capstone over the last three years. In 2012, the Atlanta native was a two-time SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week and, through the 12 games leading up to the SEC Championship, missed only six assignments in 657 snaps. He graded out at 90 percent or better in seven games during the regular season and leads the team with 36 pancake blocks.
Fluker, a native of Foley, Ala., has made 35 starts in his career, including all 13 games this season at right tackle. Through the regular season, he graded out at 98.3 percent, missing just 11 assignments in 653 plays. Fluker is second on the team in pancake blocks with 30 and allowed only four sacks from his position in 266 pass attempts.

I am trying to install the printer onto my ubuntu system and after having installed the driver, it simply wont install. It shows me the actual printer, but I click print and nothing happens. Everything is filled out in the printer properties, but the "location" field. Is that where the printer's IP address goes?
No, the location is where the Printer is. Maybe Office or something. Sounds like a driver issue in your case.
Please let us know more about your setup.
Which printer is it? Do you installed the driver automatically or manually?
Can you post a screenshot of your configuration?
Is it network or locally connected printer? What protocol did you use and which driver?
You could try to change your driver into
But to give you a better answer I definitely need more info about your printer.
P.S. The "location" field is not required at all, it's just for easier identification of your printer (people usually use "Name" field for that; example: "Xerox_ITsector")
Your problem is for sure not in location field being unfilled. It exist there solely for large scattered installation with many printers, so both users and support personnel has additional information about physical location. In other words, location is just text label to make user clear where actual physical printer had been installed.
CUPS printing system, drivers you were about to install and actual hardware create enough points of possible problems. You have to test them one by one from bottom to top.
From personal experience, drivers can be of low quality and making whole process of serious exercise in deep learning CUPS system and finding out what went wrong during installation and/or configuration. Moreover, be prepared to possible problems on every next system upgrade. My Canon LBP-7018C is particular example - Canon's CAPT drivers for .deb-based systems made without compliance to Debian/Ubuntu process.

11:21, UK, Wednesday 18 July 2001
A bakery has been fined £270,000 after two men died in a bread oven. Ian Erickson, 43, and David Mayes, 47, died after becoming trapped in a temperature of 100 degrees centigrade.
Leicester Crown Court heard Mr Erickson, of Walsall, West Midlands, and Mr Mayes, of Rushey Mead, Leicester, were recruited to mend a 75ft long bread oven at Fresha Bakeries, after the company were told the manufacturers would charge more than £2,500 for the job.
Not happy
Fresha Bakeries decided to do the job "in house" even though Mr Erickson and Mr Mayes had no experience of that kind of work.
Mr Erickson was worried about the job and was heard saying: "I ain't happy about this."
The oven, which was usually set at 260C, was turned off two hours before the men went inside to repair it, but the temperature was still 100C. The court heard it was recommended the oven was turned off for 12 hours before anyone entered.
Mr Erickson had a radio with him and after a few minutes sent a panicky message saying it was "too hot".
Anthony Barker QC, prosecuting, said: "They were trapped. There was no system of reversing the conveyer and no system of getting them out of the oven."
Both men received extensive burns and died.
Managing director of Fresha Bakeries in Leicester, John Bridson, 53, of Broomfield Lane, Hale, Cheshire, along with production director Brian Jones, 60, of St Catherine's Drive, Hertford, Cheshire, and chief engineer Dennis Masters, 45, of Skylark Avenue, Mountsorrel, Leicestershire, pleaded guilty to charges under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Fresha Bakeries was fined £250,000 and ordered to pay costs of £175,000. The firm's owners, Harvestime Ltd of Walsall, West Midlands, was fined £100,000 and costs of £75,000. The three men were also fined and ordered to pay costs.

Loving sports is fun, relaxing and for some a way to let their frustrations out. However we rarely stop to think at what environmental price they come.
'The world football's cup' in Brazil will increase CO2emissions.
Actu-Environnement.com has done some estimation of how much the cost of 'la coupe du monde de football' will be.
The world cup, a worldwide known event, lately plague with much corruption, starts in Brazil on the 12th of June. It will open at Sao Paulo and in 12 other Brazil cities.
Obviously people will come by the thousands; both from Brazil and worldwide. Is there enough breathing room for everybody at this point? We do have to take into consideration the climate of Brazil itself. Airlines, hotel rooms, tourism, cars or buses, are major requirements to see the games. Carbon dioxide emissions will be out of control. Release of methane Gas will also be an issue.
- The huge event is estimated to emit 1, 4 million tons of carbon. The number was given by the Federal government of Brazil.
How do we avoid these problems without infringing on the rights of others?

Haircuts are often an intimidating experience for toddlers. Getting my two-year-old son a trim at the barber was as stressful as receiving a round of shots at the pediatrician's office. After months of tears and trial and error techniques, however, I learned some effective ways to make toddler trims an enjoyable experience for both of us.
Set up a salon in your home
Kids love to engage in imaginary play. Construct a pretend barber shop or beauty salon in your house. Place a smock around your child and spray his/her hair with water. Since young children may assume a hair "cut" causes pain, use plastic play scissors to show how gentle it feels. Add a dab of hair gel for boys or sparkled hair spray for girls to finish the look. Finally, give your toddler a little mirror to admire their new "do."
Give a practice haircut
Once your child is comfortable with the hair cutting process, try a practice run at home. If you feel comfortable giving your child scissors, buy an inexpensive doll so your child can practice cutting. Allow your toddler to cut the doll's hair as you cut a small lock of your child's hair. If your toddler is too young to use scissors, snip a lock of your own hair before attempting to make the first snip on your child's hair. If your child breaks down in tears, don't worry. Simply put the scissors away and introduce the scissors at a later date. As your toddler gains exposure to trims, the resistance will gradually decline and his/her interest level will increase.
Find a "kid-friendly" hairdresser
If your child feels comfortable with home cuts but you are "scissors challenged," try taking your child to a professional. When my son was a toddler, we took him to a salon that catered to kids. Children could sit on a carousel horse, watch movies, and relax with a lollipop during their haircut. One time, my husband even joined in on the fun. Although my six-foot-four spouse looked pretty silly on the merry-go-round, it made our son feel more secure to see daddy was getting his haircut, too.
Practice consistency
Even if your toddler continues to cry, try to stick with the same hair dresser for several visits before trying someone new. While the horses and television shows were appealing to our son, ultimately it was the familiar, fun-loving hair dresser that helped him conquer his fear. Once children trust their hairdresser, their tears will surely turn into giggles and smiles.
Most importantly, remember a simple haircut to you is an unfamiliar experience to your child. While it may seem silly to adults to fret over a simple trim, try not to ignore your toddler's fears. With the proper techniques and lots of encouragement, your child will see that toddler haircuts are fearless and fun.

|Osteomalacia` 1 post
Posted Sep 23, 2008 11:45pm by Osteomalacia`
By the time I was diagnosed my vitamin D level was 9 (should be
40 to 90) and at 36 years old I had osteoporosis (worst T score
-3.4), I had to lose all of my teeth due to disinigration of the
bone suporting the teeth not to mention the enamal was literally
peeling off my teeth in thick pieces. I was so weak I could barely
walk and my bones felt as if they were broken. The pain was
excruciating. Before I was diagnosed I was accused of hypochondria,
plain out lying, pain pill seeker, etc…

Wow! I can truly relate to your situation. I don't know what
ostemalacia is but am planning to start reading about it when I
finish writing this! My D level is 12 and taking vitamin D only
makes me sick to my stomach, it doesn't raise my level. I have no
doctor at present because no primary doc will accept the insurance
my husband's company (and we) pay thousands of dollars for and
without a primary doc's referrals I can't seen any specialists to
continue looking into things or helping with what we know. I hate
doctors at this point and don't trust any of them. One day I was
fine, or thought so, I'd had a physical and blood work and was
doing great.Obviously they didn't know/think to test for anything
out-of-the ordinary. About a month after my physical it was like
someone flipped a switch on my life- that was about 6 years ago. It
began with cramps in my muscles, primarily my legs-intense ones
that made my toes go different directions and that others could
actually see in the muscles as it tightened and moved. I sweat when
I am not laying down and sometimes when I sleep.(I've figure out
how to sometimes prevent that now and it is really weird.) I have
more symptoms than I could ever list here but the one everyone
tells me isn't possible is when I complain that it feels like my
bones hurt. Walking is next to impossible. I've spent the last 5
years pretty much in bed which has alienated me from my family to a
large degree. They are also probably sick of me complaining when I
"look fine". The first doctors clinical diagnosis was fibromyalsia,
lupus which he expected would become mixed connective tissue
disease, sjogrens, regular arthritis that everyone gets(DJD),carpal
tunnel syndrome, gout and some minor things. I was impressed with
the examination and questions and his initial bedside mannor. Then
he ordered medications galore and a million tests but I couldn't
see him for 3 months so my personal doctor (family doc) interpreted
the tests and began to try helping me. The tests discovered
diabetes (I'd tested negative the month before)and

Omg! I've had osteomalacia for about a year now! My doctor seems to reallllly think that osteomalacia don't hurt!! It feels like someone is taking a hot knife and driving it into my bones. Mainly waist down. I to was checked for lupus sickle cell and everyother disease! I do take vit d my levels are increasing but the pain is not decreasing. Stress, being on my feet for long periods of time, exercise, and some times nothing trigger flare ups. Will it get better? When?

I sent you a mail on here. I am gonna start getting vitamin D as
well at long last, my new PCP at the
University Hospital noticed that someone in my long line of doctors
that had said I had "conversion disorder" had done a Vitamin D test
and I was deficient then and not treated. He redid my level and it
is lower now at 4.2 ng/ml..it is no wonder I cannot climb a set of
stairs. Neurologists I was sent to for my muscle pain and "crazy"
walk all said I was nuts :( The only one to believe me and yell at
the doctors on my behalf was my long term psychiatrist! He told me
to leave the state if need be to get help for my medical problem,
that doctors should not diagnosis a psychiatric disorder they dont
even understand. I am also fearing cancer because of things they
have found ( will not go into that).

I have been out of work now for 6 months, I woke up one morning
and couldn't walk! I have to use a cane all the time and walker in
the home. I was born with Rickets and was treated throughout
childhood including a surgery that left me in full length casts
from toe to hip for a year, intense physical therapy to learn how
to walk again etc. I have always lived with bone pain but never
have I experienced such pain as I have within the last 6 months! I
recently was able to see the top bone specialist at the Mayo Clinic
in Rochester, The reason I decided to go strait to the Mayo is
because where i lived and all the doctors that I had been trying to
find to address my condition

There is a very rare condition that needs to be eliminated if you are not responding to vit D. It is called Hypophosphatasia, it displays itself very differnt in adults than kids. One of its side effects is Osteomalacia that does not respond to Vit d. loss of teeth is another trademark.

I forgot to add that fractures of the feet and legs are also a
trademark. A dianosis of Hypophosphatasia is not a good thing as
there is no cure.

The first post was dated a few years ago… however, I just stumbled across this site. Anyway, I can relate. Several months ago, I just so happened to wake up one morning in excruciating pain. Every bone, every joint, every muscle was stiff, painful… I could barely get out of bed. My doctor ordered blood work thinking it was this and that, but all of the tests came back just fine. Finally she sent me to an endocrinologist who ordered some other blood work including a Vitamin D test. Low and behold… my level was 4.5 when it should have been over 30. My doctor was stunned at how low and severe my case is, my calcium is also low due to the Osteomalacia. He quickly put me on 150,000 units of Vitamin D per week. The bone pain that this creates is absolutely the worst. I am 35 years old and have 4 children. To have to wake up in the morning to go and take care of them takes everything out of me. My youngest just turned 3, has autism, and I also work full time. I see a pain management doctor, and I swear if weren't for my meds, I simply don't know how I would make it. I also just found out 2 weeks ago that I have the beginning stages of cardiomyopathy… my father has a defib due to the same condition. Anyway, I'm glad to have found this site, as it feels good to vent to people who can hopefully relate. -J

Iv just found out I have this :( I really feel like everyone thinks I'm making it up Iv always dealt with pain well I even nearly gave birth in the reception as no one believed I was in labour but this pain is something else . Everyone seems to look at me and because I'm not screaming and crying you get the feeling they think I'm just after time off work some days I do cry some days I can't move but people don't see that I do start to doubt myself sometimes that maybe I am just being a drama queen. Can I ask what pain medication are others on to control it and does it work as Iv found nothing that really helps the pain?

It's really sad to hear some of the first doctors to consult you managed your case so poorly, suffering from this disease is bad enough. Just try to take it one day at a time and do everything you can to boost your confidence. Your teeth might be damaged by the disease, but you could visit the dentist and what can be done about them. The No Fear dentist I've seen has done wonders with my teeth and you won't believe how good I feel about myself because of it!

OK, I had a thought while thinking about the "Rand al'Thor Vs Richard Rahl" match, that I'm sure many of you have had as well.
What if they did meet?
Now I've seen more than one thread putting them in each other's place over the years, and… Those always seem to end the same, both are just too much of "Chosen Ones" for that to work out, unless you just up and give one of them everything that makes the other such…
At which point you're asking "What if everything was the same, but the main character had a different personality and a whole… Well, "book series" worth of extra power?".
The personality might mess a lot up in the flow of the story, but normally the power to stomp any enemy that dares show its face, the very moment it does so, tends to make up for that.
Either way, it's normally not vary fun.
But what if one of them was just sent to the others world?
So let's see…
Scenario 1: Both of them from the beginning of their own books, or thrown into the time-line of the start of the other ones book series(Note 1: no, this isn't counting prologues that take place *long* before the story actually starts 😀 , and as I'd hope was clear with the thread being "Rand and Richard actually met" the one from that series is still there for them to "meet").
Scenario 2: Both of them in their "current incarnation", or thrown into the time-line of the start of the other ones book series (Note 2: same as 1).
Scenario 3: Both of them in their "current incarnation", or thrown into the current time-line of the other ones book series(Note 3: and once again, the other is still there unchanged).
In all Scenarios they appear in random spots(Aka: just pick one yourself, this is a "What if?" not a VS), and as I'm just a big softy 😳 , I'll let both of them take all of their immediate family members with them, even the dead ones…. "Immediate" even being fairly (like vary 😀 ) loosely interpreted, up to and including people like Berelain(Rand's half-brothers (as of me making this) girlfriend)… And as that would include "bad guys" for both of them, I'll even let them pick which ones they take. 😆
Besides that, they get only stranded equipment, and yes I know that's not a hell of a lot Scenario 1, but I will be kind enough to just take away any unavoidable, deadly, and just plan "unfixable out of their universe", problem they might have built in(by which I mean the Taint for Rand, and any like problem Richard, or anyone ether takes with them, might have).
So… What if?

Phillip Phillips becomes a human canvas in his brand new music video for "Raging Fire," the lead-in to his sophomore effort Behind The Light. The sweeping anthem is the backdrop to the images, which include towering buildings and a giant sidewalk painting.
The singer-songwriter, who will drop the new record on May 19, takes front and center. As he strums his guitar, he is rapidly transported to various locales: a bridge, a street corner, a subway car, a blank white canvas. It all serves to bolster the message of the song: living life. "Hold me close, and I'll surrender to your heart," he sings on the first verse. "You know how to give and how to take. You see every hope I locked away."
Later, he coos, "We live until we die."
As he continues to sing the poignant lyrics, his friends are seen painting around him on the paper. He looks up to the camera, delivering the powerful message. It progresses and finally he is covered in the vibrant red paint, in the middle of a glowing heart. He has become a raging fire, unafraid of the world around him. That's a pretty cool visual.
The new music follows on the platinum heels of his debut The World From The Side Of The Moon, which spawned the hits "Home" and "Gone, Gone, Gone." Despite not being nominated for a Grammy in 2013, he could very well set in motion awards success now. And we could not be more excited!
In case you missed it, the American Idol champ dropped the album's very artistic cover yesterday. See it here.
Don't forget to grab a copy of "Raging Fire" on iTunes now!

Docs Warn Against Raw Milk for Kids, Pregnant Women
One raw-milk advocate said the danger of related illness is overstated.
"We've been tracking these numbers for quite some time. There are an average of 50 reported illnesses each year from raw milk, with 10 million drinkers of raw milk, so the percentage of illnesses is extremely low," said Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit nutrition education group that supports the sale of raw milk.
"We think it's a mountain out of a molehill," she said.
Those numbers clash with data gathered by the CDC, however. In the period from 1998 to 2011, the reported outbreaks resulted in nearly 2,400 illnesses, 284 hospitalizations and two deaths. That's an average of roughly 200 people sickened each year by raw dairy products.
And those were just cases linked to the outbreaks. Health officials declare an outbreak when at least two people get sick from the same food. Outbreaks don't count so-called sporadic cases, when individuals experience food poisoning but it's not linked to any other cases.
Last week, researchers in Minnesota estimated the number of sporadic cases of food poisoning in their state linked to raw dairy products and found they probably dwarf those tied to outbreaks.
In a study published Dec. 11 in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, researchers found that, over a decade, 21 people got food poisoning in five outbreaks linked to raw dairy products.
But 530 additional individual cases were reported to the state, said study author Trisha Robinson, an epidemiologist with the Minnesota Department of Health. Those were cases of lab-confirmed food poisoning caused by Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, E. coli or Salmonella bacteria in which people had also reported consuming raw milk.
"There are a lot more people who are consuming raw milk who aren't part of an outbreak and they're getting sick too," Robinson said. "Outbreaks are really just the tip of the iceberg."
Given that many cases of foodborne illness are never caught or reported, Robinson estimated about 17 percent of people who drank raw milk over the 10 years of the study got sick from it.

If history is your thing, then you absolutely won't want to miss the Romanorum Vita exhibition, which opens in Málaga on 24 April and runs until 14 June. Faithfully recreating daily life in a Roman city – and Málaga, or Malaca as it was then known was an integral part of the Roman Empire for more than 200 hundred years – with its life-size Roman villa and street, plus all the authentic sights, sounds and smells of the eating places, laundries, bakeries and public baths, Romanorum Vita is a whole lot more than merely another museum piece…
The itinerant exhibition has been slowly wending its way around Spain's major cities for a year now. 'Slowly' being the operative word. First up is the erection of the marquee housing the exhibit, which takes 5 days to complete… followed by the construction of the Roman city showcase itself, something of a vast jigsaw puzzle, which means another 7 days of state-of-the-art engineering and technology.
Inspired by documentary and archaeological evidence, Romanorum Vita takes visitors all the way back to 79AD, at a moment in time just before the city of Pompeii was totally engulfed by lava. Audiovisual presentations projected onto the wall of the luxury villa at the hub of the exhibition depict a culture of fast food, political graffiti and overcrowding in a city that never slept, prompting exhibition commissioners Magí and Enric Seritjol to point out that despite the passage of time, and the fact that having a bedroom to yourself was previously unheard of, there are still more similarities than differences between life in 21st century Europe and that of the Roman Empire.
So, brought to us by the La Caixa Foundation, there are lots of surprises in store at Romanorum Vita. Not least the fact that here's one bank that chooses to spend some of its money on cultural events rather than on fat-cat banker bonuses!
Although the Romanorum Vita website is only in Spanish, the virtual tour is guaranteed to whet your appetite.
The Romanorum Vita exhibition runs from 24 April to 14 June, 2012 at the Plaza de la Marina, in the centre of Málaga.
Open Tuesdays – Fridays: 12.30 to 2pm & 5pm to 9pm; Saturdays, Sundays & public holidays: 11am to 2pm & 5pm to 9pm; Closed Mondays.
Entrance: free.

The Sunday before Easter has been called Palm Sunday because of the imagery of the Lord Jesus Christ making His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The people hailed Him as their Messiah, waving palm branches and laying them down before Him, as well as their outer garments or cloaks so that the asses' colt that He rode upon would not have to tread upon the dirt road.
In just a few more days, the Lord Jesus entered the beginning of His passion or suffering which would culminate in His resurrection from the dead. The whole of it came to be called the Passion week which included all of the activities of the Lord Jesus during His final week in His physical body upon the earth.
This year, Palm Sunday will fall on April 13, 2014 and churches everywhere will be celebrating this day in remembrance of our Lord's passion that He suffered for us. Looking at some of the historical aspects of this event, the palm tree itself has always been associated with the oasis in the desert. When the people of Israel camped in Elim, there just happened to be 70 palm trees and 12 springs of fresh water. Thus do we see the imagery of the number 70 for the exact number of elders that judged the people. The number 12 being the representative number for the 12 tribes of Israel. Thus we see that Jesus was being hailed as the Messiah, with the people waving palm branches, thus indicating that the Lord Jesus as Israel's Messiah was their eternal oasis of 'living water,' even as He had told the Samaritan woman at the well in:
John 4:10
Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.
Psalms 92:12-13
The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
The Holy Bible prophesied that a 'triumphant and victorious" king would enter Jerusalem 'humble and riding on an ass.' The spectacle of Palm Sunday fulfills this prophecy," so The Dictionary of Biblical Imagery. We find this prophecy in Scripture in
Zechariah 9:9-11
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
Just as God saw to it that He had prophesied before it happened, the Lord Jesus Christ came riding into Jerusalem, riding on the foal of an ass. But let's look at the remaining two verses of Scripture, and let's see what else is prophesied. The Scripture states that "he shall speak peace unto the heathen.." This would be the Gentiles that one day would be allowed to enter into the family of God. It also states that "His dominion shall be from sea to sea..." which means just exactly what it says...that the Lord Jesus Christ rules and reigns over the entire universe, not just for a short while, but eternally. Then let us look at the final verse; verse 11, "...by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water." Truly phenomenal statements: "...by the blood of thy covenant..." for the Lord Jesus Christ was soon to make a new covenant with His very own blood. Finally, "...I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water." This usage of 'water' is often associated with the Holy Spirit and indeed, Jesus foretold that He would be giving forth 'living water' and so indeed He did bring to pass this very prophecy.

My MacBook Pro is generally a fast machine (3.06 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 8GB of RAM, 7200RPM hard drive) but VirtualBox 3.2.6 running Ubuntu 10.04 is just too slow compared to VMWare. What can I fiddle with to improve this? Within Ubuntu, I use Eclipse mostly but even booting and GNOME desktop accessories are slow...
The performance will become normal if you disable VTx and set it to use only one core of CPU. See the thread at http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=39368
This is more of a work-around than an answer. I was in the same boat, the Oracle-branded version 3.2.6 was bringing my Ubuntu VM to a crawl. So I just deleted 3.2.6 and installed version 3.1.8 and everything was fine. If you're just running Ubuntu I don't think there's much of a difference between 3.1 and 3.2.
Just throwing this up here as it may help others significantly.
I had Ubuntu VMs (guests) that i created on a Linux host install of Virtualbox, they ran fine on the Linux machine and were very slow once I moved them to my top of the line MacBook air 2012 (2ghz, 8gb ram) . I found i could make them extremely fast by increasing the cpu count (in the vm's settings) from 1 to 2. It made approximately a factor of 10 difference (a suite of phpunit tests went from 5 minutes to about 30 seconds). I'm not sure if the slowness had anything to do with the migration from Linux to OSX 10.8.2 or if the slowness would have been there even with guests that were created on an OSX install.

And on the twelfth day of wheat and sugar free…..
Wednesday, April 10, 2013
I haven't blogged for a few days, well, because, frankly it was getting a little boring!!! But I thought I better write down a few thoughts on this process in case I want to look back. For the multitudes that may be reading this, I have been following (more or less) Dr. Davis' book, "Lose the Wheat, Lose the Belly." I have had no wheat and extremely minimal sugar, and although I have lost a couple of pounds and do feel some better, I certainly can't say that it is as remarkable as promised by the "book." My chronic cough was no better. Now the one thing I had not done was to give up more morning cooked oatmeal/Red River/oat bran cereal (he says there is cross-contamination between oatmeal and wheat). Reading more on oatmeal sensitivity, there can be respiratory and digestive symptoms and I realized that over the years, I have been using it daily, either as cereal, topping for crisps, filler for meatloaf, etc. etc. Could I possibly have sensitivity to my beloved oatmeal? (I do have peanut and tree nut allergies).
So I thought, I have come this far, let's give it a whirl….may as well give up one more thing!! Off to the health food store on Monday and I have been eating a lovely (and I use that term with slight sarcasm) cooked mixture of quinoa flakes, flax and hemp seeds with cinnamon and blueberries. Not bad, rather mushy, but palatable. Now I am not sure, but today (48 hours later), I do think the cough has lessened and I almost feel the way I have in the past when I gave up coffee (that did not last…I am holding onto that one with clenched fists). I am drinking lots of water with lemon juice and will persevere with this.
Otherwise, the sugar/wheat cravings are minimal, so I will carry on with my experiment for another 3 weeks. I will be glad when the weather improves so I can get out and concentrate on some other activity other than food preparation! I do get moments of "what's the use", but then I think, I will never know if these dietary changes will make a difference unless I give it a fair trial. And the longer I keep at it, the easier it gets.
Hope everyone is having a good week….we are to get freezing rain and snow tomorrow here in southern Ontario.

It's more than a few days since you blogged now and we miss you! I do agree that it can get boring reading other peoples' blogs if they are just a random diary of 'Well, I didn't do much but had cereal for breakfast'! I tend to keep a running note of thoughts I want to share, but never really comment on what I've done because even I wouldn't want to read it afterwards!
I hope you're well, anyway, and managing to keep track of your own goals and programme. It's always wonderful to hear from you.

Awesome!! Good luck with it. I felt challenged by my carb free month but I swear it really helped me to get perspective and not feel so drawn and obsessive with it. It encouraged me then to do a sugar-free diet and that was also very enlightening. I understand about coffee and it has taken me a long time to get rid of that addiction! It's black tea all the way for me!!
Take cre and have a sunny day :)

The Indiana Joint Asthma Coalition (InJAC) are pleased to announce that the Asthma Management Plan (AMP) has been approved as an option for all Indiana schools, and we have received a grant from The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) to conduct statewide training!
An asthma management plan is a written plan that you develop with your doctor to help control your asthma.
The plan shows your daily treatment, such as what kind of medicines to take and when to take them. It describes how to control asthma long term AND how to handle worsening asthma, or attacks. The plan also explains when to call the doctor or go to the emergency room.
If your child has asthma, all of the people who care for him or her, such as their school nurse and other school administrators, should know about the child's asthma management plan. This also includes babysitters and workers at daycare centers, and camps. These caretakers can help your child follow his or her plan.
The approved plan can be found HERE, and an editable PDF can be found HERE. We will continue to keep all of our coalition members updated on the implementation status and on how you can assist in your area of the state.
TRANSLATIONS JUST IN! The translated versions of the AMP are available for usage! Please click for SPANISH,KAREN, and CHIN translations.

During E3, the MMO space was rocked by the announcement that several big MMO titles would be headed to next-gen consoles. What is the likelihood of success? We take a look at that today and hope you'll offer your thoughts in the comments after reading.
While MMORPG.com is so undoubtedly pro-PC that it has a bumper sticker to that effect on the company station wagon (editor, Billy Murphy, reportedly has several tattoos declaring love to Windows 8) there is a lure and attraction to talk about console online games. With the exception of oodles of CoDs, BFs, GoWs, and the odd DC Universe Online, there aren't many fantastical realms to explore with you and your level 72 buddy.

The fun starts at LSI's annual AIS event in less than 24 hours but TweakTown spied and captured the first image of a SF3700 reference design at SC13 today. SF3700, as shown here in it's PCIe form, can achieve 1800 MB/s sequential read and is guaranteed to bring a smile.
The SF3700, designed in the Bay Area, is the first bi-protocol SSD controller. SF3700 is SATA III and PCIe in the same controller, just a few manufacturing changes away at the end component level.

The City of Melbourne has a clear priority to make the City pedestrian friendly, following the advice of Danish architect Jan Gehl. Wikipedia states that Prof Gehl's "career has focused on improving the quality of urban life by re-orienting city design towards the pedestrian and cyclist". The City has embraced his advice in relation to pedestrians and high quality public spaces, by widening footpaths, creating spaces such as the City Square and Federation Square. Space has also been found for trams, with the superstops and by keeping cars out of the tram tracks more effectively. Melbourne is much more enjoyable, livable City now than 20 years ago as a result, and whereas the City used to become empty after business hours, it is now full of people all day and night, all days of the week.
Progress on "re-orienting city design towards the ... cyclist" has been less effective. Some progress has been made but only a fraction of what could and should be achieved. The best example of a transfer of space to cyclists is the high quality on-road lanes in Queensbury Street. A whole lane of traffic was removed and converted to a wide bike lane with a good buffer zone. Recently the City added a "tactile" vibra-line to the edge of the demarkation line, to alert cars that stray into the buffer zone. Queensbury St is a wide street that does not connect directly to the City and starts and ends within the City, so it doesn't connect directly to the main arterial routes into the City. For that reason, the space was a "soft target" for transfer to bicycles. In a similar way, the north Swanston St bike lanes became easier to achieve because the partial closure of Swanston St south reduced motor traffic in the rest of the street significantly.
Where the harder decisions need to be made, the bicycle has mostly not fared as well in the City's decisions. The Albert St lanes were compromised ironically not because of motor traffic but because local residents didn't want to lose 35cm of grass from each side of the median strip.
So, most of the easy gains have been made. To achieve a big enough share of the transport task to really make a difference will require the hard decisions to transfer significant space from cars to bicycles. The biggest obstacle to this is the State Government through VicRoads, exemplified by the Labor Party minister for roads when he rubbished the City's plans to improve the St Kilda Rd bike lanes by saying "My job … is to fix congestion, not to cause it". The fact is that the narrow, inadequate bicycle lane in St Kilda road carries as many people in peak hour as a much wider car lane, so proving that more bike lanes will reduce congestion, not increase it.
See article on Copenhagenize blog: Cyclists are better shoppers than motorists giving reasons why retailers should be enthusiastic about encouraging more trips by bicycle.
State Government Priorities: Infrastructure Australia shopping list.

Can anyone give me info on a good lightweight waterproof rug that won't cause my horse to sweat like a pig when he's wearing it?
It's been very wet here, but still warm (high 20s). I'm using a medium weight cotton ripstop combo rug on my horse at present but it's not waterproof and I hate leaving a wet rug on my horse. Trouble is, he's susceptible to rain scald if I leave him naked. Any suggestions appreciated.
