Most states have requirements about minimum education and experience qualifications for child care providers. They also have ratio requirements - the number of staff required for a specific number of children. This number is based on the ages of the children. This ratio will tell you how many providers are required for each group of children.
Minimum qualifications vary by state, so check with your state licensing agency. These requirements usually include:
You may want your staff to have additional qualifications.
Child Care Aware® of America recommends that all family child care providers and child care center staff have at least 40 hours of initial training, including Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), first aid and other basic safety and health training, in addition to information about child development before they work with children. Child Care Aware® of America also recommends all providers complete 24 hours of annual training.
The Child Development Associate (CDA) credential is a nationally accepted early childhood credential awarded by the Council for Professional Recognition. It shows that a person has a specific number of training hours and experience working with young children. The credential is earned by individual providers working in both child care centers and family child care programs. It is not a credential for the entire program.
A CDA candidate must:
The credential must be renewed every three years. For more information, contact the Council for Professional Development.
Child care providers: The minimum number of providers you will need depends on the age and number of children in your program. Your state licensing regulations have very specific information about the following factors:
National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accreditation criteria recommends you use the following ratios for child care centers:
Age of Child
Staff-Child Ratio
Birth to 15 months
1:3 to 1:4
12 to 28 months
1:3 to 1:4
21 to 26 months
1:4 to 1:6
2 to 3 years
1:6 to 1:9
4 years
1:8 to 1:10
5 years
1:8 to 1:10
NAEYC accreditation criteria also recommend you follow the group sizes listed below for child care centers. Group size consists of two ratio groups of children based on the age of the children. Additional information about NAEYC recommendations is available here.
Age of Child
Size of Group
Birth to 15 months
6-8 children
12 to 28 months
6-8 children
21 to 26 months
8-12 children
2 to 3 years
12-18 children
4 years
16-20 children
5 years
16-20 children
Additional staff: You must have enough qualified providers to be able to replace your regular providers when they are unavailable during breaks, meal times or absent due to illness or vacation. If you are a family child care provider, you will need a qualified substitute provider to come to your home or a qualified backup provider home where parents can take their children when you cannot provide care.
Some child care centers need staff for additional services. These services may include administration, training, cooking, housekeeping, and transportation. These services are usually performed by staff you employ, but you may want to contract with other businesses to perform the work. Most family child care providers do not employ staff to perform these services, but may choose to. Check with your licensing agency for any specific requirements for contract staff.

Susan offers three different workshops that can be spread over 2-5 days depending on your needs and interests. Please email her email@example.com to discuss how your group can benefit from her experience and knowledge. Workshop topic content will vary depending on length chosen. All workshops include instructions in safe studio habits.
Soy wax is a perfect substitute for traditional batik waxes and is much more environmentally friendly. It is resourced from soy beans, a renewable product that supports our farmers. It is easy to remove with hot water washes and textile detergent, it melts at a lower temperature and does not smoke or produce odors. Truly a great product for your creative journey!
Soy Wax Basics and Beyond
Students design their own unique one-of-a-kind fabrics using simple tools, dyes and soy wax…no messy clean-up, just wash this wax away! Students will be using colour and pattern in new ways with sponging, stamping, drizzling and dabbing. Then have so much fun making dynamic and exciting fabrics for all to admire. Simple techniques and perfect for the beginner designer!
2-4 days
Exploring Resists
Explore further and deeper into the many possibilities that soy wax resists provide. Students will work on multilayer applications of colour and wax and will use a variety of dyes, paints and colour products including discharge. They will employ stitch, clamping, pole wrapping and other techniques to produce pattern and texture on their chosen fabrics.
2-5 days
Resists, Rubbings and Repetition
Learn how to create exciting designs with thickened dyes and soy wax. Students will experiment with painted resists and screen printing while learning design principles, mark making and colour theory. Soy wax is biodegradable and easy to remove with washing! Students will make a variety of samples which can be used for further exploration in quilting, mixed media and stitch.

The Secret World
TSW – New Player Guide
As of this week, TSW has now gone "Buy to Play" (B2P). Because of this, we have seen a great influx of new players to the world, both true newbies and returning gamers. Because of this, I wanted to take some time to update my New Player Guide I posted back at release. While this guide is not all inclusive, it does directly address many of the things that new players often find problematic.
First, it is important to realize that TSW is a different type of game then other MMOs. While you will see many of the same mechanics played out, there are specific differences.
Additionally, most of these differences will often impact your overall enjoyment of the game.
New Player Guide – Questing
Quests are not the typical "Quest hub" style you are used to seeing in the modern MMO. Instead of offering you quest hubs that you continually return to every time you finish "collecting 10 rat pelts" to pick up 10 more quests for a small area, TSW limits the number of quests you can have active at any given time.
You are allowed only 1 "red" (action), "green" (investigation), or "yellow" (infiltration) quests at once (these quests share a single slot in your journal and will over-write each other if you take a new one when you have one active). In addition to these three quests, are you allowed to have upto 3 "grey" (item) quests at once. You also have the "story" quest line, which is unique to the zone you are in. (Note: if you wish to "cancel" a quest, just replace it with a new one. The old quest will 'pause' and you can pick it back up from the quest NPC and start where you left off)
When questing in TSW, you should choose one quest (Red/Green/Yellow) and follow it from the start to the end. As you move through the area, you will pass by the "item" (grey) quests. You should take these out when you are in the area, as they will "Breadcrumb" you to the next questing area.
Most quest NPCs in TSW have between 1-2 quest lines. (a few have three) when you finish one quest line, you will often have the breadcrumb sending you to the next quest NPC. It is upto you if you wish to return to the previous NPC and see what else he/she wanted from you, or if you wish to continue to the next location.
In general (but not always) the red quests in TSW are fairly easy to decipher. You won't need too much extra help to complete these quest lines. However, while doing the investigation (specifically), as well as the infiltration (specifically, if you wish to work to the "stealth achievement") missions, you might find yourself either (1) stuck, or (2) bugged. In some cases the quests in TSW can bug (though most of the previous quest bugs have been squashed), however most of the time you are just stuck on a clue and don't realize it.
If this is the case, you might find that you need to ask someone for advice. You have a couple options. TSW offers a "Mission Help" channel where you can ask questions, as well as a number of websites offer quest help to get you past a tough step. While a number of players will obviously ask questions in /general, I would advise keeping spoilers out of general chat when at all possible. It is best, if you find yourself stuck on a step, to first look it up online (TSWGuides.com — for example offers spoiler safe text for all investigation and infiltration missions, as well as the main story line in our Quest Database), and if you find you are still having problems, ask the community of players in chat.
Finally, realize that all NPCs have their quest dialogue, as well as their "general story" dialogue. If you are interested in hearing more about the NPC, speak with them about any topics they offer to you, and realize, as you click each one, they will continue to offer more information to you until the box gains a green "check mark" thus triggering to you that they have given you all the story over that specific content.
New Player Guide - Builds
A second way that TSW is significantly different than other MMOs is in their Ability system. By offering a wide varity of options for the starting player it is often easy to (1) feel overwhelmed, or (2) build something that ends up causing you headaches as you progress. While it is true that "any build" will work, some builds are clearly better than others. Spending your first few points wisely can mean the difference between moving forward at Q2/3 into the next zone smoothly, and needing to go back and repeat content. In general, I would say making your own mistakes can be good for you, it is also important to keep in mind that it is easy to get yourself stuck in a point there you are too frustrated to continue with the game. It is critical that you have an opportunity to enjoy as much of the game as possible, at a rate that you enjoy. Unless you wish to repeat content, you might want to consider thinking thorough your build and decide what direction you wish to take before pushing too far into Kingsmouth.
It is because of this that I recommend to players that they come into the game with a build in mind of where they want to go. Of course, however, it is clear that as new players it is next to impossible to know where to spend points when you first log in. From this point, I suggest that you visit TSWGuides' Build Page. On this page we offer a series of builds we call "My first 60", which focus on specific roles for the first 60 Ability Points you gain. (60 ability points is Q2/3 and is attainable in Kingsmouth). By using one of these builds you can decide to (1) build a main tank for your team that is successful in the entry level dungeons, (2) Build a healer that can heal that tank, (3) Build a DPS character, or most often (4) build what we title a "survival" character. The survival character is the soloist built in such a way that they will be successful questing through a balance of smart rotations, self-heals, and AOE dps. We have a number of "My first 60" survival builds, and many of them pair well with other roles later in the game. You may wish to become a tank, therefore you chose to use one of the Sword builds. Or if you wish to be a claw healer for your group, you may choose to build up one of the my first 60s that offer claw as a weapon option.
Our "My first 60" builds are not the only options for success out of the gates, not even close, however each one does well to allow the player to reach their chosen role, and have fun doing it—and that is what this weekend should be all about.
In addition to your build choice, you should also keep in mind:
- You should always use two different weapon types. When building with DPS attacks you will gain resources on both weapons you have equipped. Once the resource pool is full, you should use a closer from each weapon. By opting out of one weapon, you are forgoing a large portion of your dps (or healing) power.
- While Active weapons require a specific weapon equipped, passives do not. You can use passive abilities from any tree. If you look at one of our more popular starter builds, the 60 point Blade/Fist survival build, for example, you can see that we use a combination of passives from Fist, Blade, and Blood trees.
- The "con" of the mob or quest to you is relative to the combined score on your gear (talisman as well as weapons) and your Skill Points in your gear. If you find you are "glancing" a lot of your attacks, you might find it useful to increase your weapon skill in your weapon. At lower levels you should always use your SP as you acquire new gear to use, or if you find that you are not hitting often enough. A few weeks ago, Ryahl wrote up a series of editorials on gearing in TSW that you can find on our Editorial page. All our Editorials are fairly lengthy; however all offer information that is useful for new and veteran players.
- Tailsman optimization can be difficult and confusing. To start, remember that your head tailsman is worth ~25% of your overall stats. The Major Tailsman (Finger/Neck/Wrist) are ~15% each, and the Lesser Tailsman (Luck/Belt/Occult) are each worth ~10%. (These numbers are not exact, however give you a general idea of the values) This means while you may choose to mix/match your talisman keep in mind that not all gear slots have equal stats. As a claw healer that groups you might chose healing gear for most slots, with 20% of your total gear going to Tank gear (2 lesser OR 1 major talisman). While at the same time you might find using a survival build requires a 40ATK/40Heal/20Tank breakdown. (keep in mind, green gear is different and will often have a mix of stats. You might give up a piece of green gear WITH HPs to goto full blue ATK gear with NO HPs. Thus requiring a swap of one minor piece into "tank" gear to raise your HPs).
- Funcom has implemented a number of "starter" decks (many directly influenced by our "My first 60″ builds). The implementation of these has limited some of the confusion on lower level deck building, however there are still a number of issues at play with these new builds, and while they are viable options (unlike the higher level decks), they are not optimal builds (and lack many of the necessary pieces for tank/healing).
Third – Dungeons
Finally, the third way that TSW is unique is their dungeon content. Dungeon content offers the players raid type mechanics in a small group setting. Currently there is one raid in TSW, and this raid is focused as end-game material. Much of the mechanics present in the raid are similar to the mechanics within the dungeons.
All dungeons in TSW are top-notch design. While they are mechanically heavy ("stay outta the goo"), they also limit the amount of "trash" mobs in the dungeon to give fewer "lulls" in the action. Additionally, the mechanics of fights in TSW are done in such a way that you are not required to "play the interface" to react to casting and effects of boss fights. While TSW offers a traditional cast bar, they also offer a white particle effect (often a circle) that shows the player both the effect radius, as well as the casting bar for the ability; when the inner ring reaches the outer ring, the ability fires.
Polaris is the first dungeon in TSW, and can be found on the outskirts of Kingsmouth (Savage Coast and Blue Mountain each have their own dungeons as well) and is accessible (and do-able) at Q2/3. You can find dungeon guides and information about Polaris (as well as later dungeons) at our DungeonGuide page. Each dungeon offers an introduction to the zone, as well as mechanics for each boss. Additionally, Ryahl has completed a number of very thorough video guides that detail out specifics of boss fights that can be found many boss pages.
My final thought on dungeons in TSW is this: Dungeons are one of the better executed content in TSW. I highly recommend you find time
before you leave Kingsmouth for a run through Polaris.
before you leave Kingsmouth for a run through Polaris.
In closing I want to welcome you to TSW, and I hope you founds this New Player Guide useful. Have a great time in The Secret World, and please feel free to respond if you have any questions or comments.
Edit: I also wanted to add, if you find you are still having issues you should check out another one of my editorials: Why Can't I…?

The National Zoo is not the only famous cultural institution impacted by the shutdown of many government services begun today. The National Gallery of Art and Smithsonian Museums are also closed to the public indefinitely. The Smithsonian Channel, a joint venture of Showtime Networks and the Smithsonian Institute, will continue to broadcast and may also provide a model for moving the arts beyond everyday political differences.
While the web site of the National Gallery of Art already displays a notice that the Gallery is closed on its home page, the same page also reports that the Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes special exhibition is open through October 6; presumably, the skeleton staff is not enough for a thorough overhaul of the website to reflect the shutdown influenced changes.
The National Archives has also suspended its direct operations. The Nixon Museum and Library in Yorba Linda, part of the National Archives, has shut down completely. The Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, which has significant private funding, will be able to keep the Air Force One Pavilion, Reagan's Country Cafe, the Museum Store and President Reagan's Memorial Site open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There will be limited access to the local repository of the National Archives in Riverside County.
The federal Institute of Museum and Library Services is also closed. The Smithsonian Museums are closed to the public, but staff assigned to protect the collections are exempt from furloughs and will continue to be paid. The counterexample of the public-private joint venture, the Smithsonian Channel, being able to continue operations with funding from cable television network operators should help the arts community to plan for the future. This model appears to offer much more stable sources of funding than government allocations. Another ray of hope is coming from the Kennedy Center, which is organized as a trust. While it secures many benefits as a federal government institution, it is not dependent upon government funding for most of its operations.

When a team spends an entire season ranked in the Golfweek Top 10, finishes 14th at the NCAA Championships and leaves disappointed, you know you're dealing with an elite program. When that program's two-time All-American records the school's first ever top 10 NCAA finish and feels as though she should have done better, you know you have a determined squad. Take that elite program and bring back the same determined squad for another shot at the title, and you've got the 2006 Washington women's golf team.
Head Coach Mary Lou Mulflur knows that for her team to improve, she'll need her younger players to follow the example set by senior Paige Mackenzie, the aforementioned All-American and 2005 NCAA 10th-place finisher.
"She brings a lot to the table," Mulflur says. "A lot of young people are good athletes, but they don't have the rest. Paige has it all. I've told more than one member of my team, `If I were you, I would follow her around like a little lost puppy dog, and do everything that she does.' She's so successful in everything she takes on. And it's not a secret how she does it. She's very efficient in how she practices, how she studies and how she approaches things. She works very hard."
Mackenzie made the most of that hard work over the summer, following up her NCAA performance by finishing first at the U.S. Open qualifier in Denver and then placing second at the Colorado Open. She completed her two-week stay in Colorado by placing 13th at the U.S. Women's Open, third-highest among amateurs at the event. Mackenzie was the runner-up at the Pacific Northwest Golf Association's Amateur Championship before winning the Women's Trans National Golf Association championship at the Mid Pines Inn and Golf Club in Southern Pines, N.C. She also advanced to the semifinals of the 103rd North and South Women's Amateur Championship.
Mackenzie continued to excel in the fall, placing second individually while helping Washington to a second place finish at the Topy Cup in Fukushima, Japan. She followed that up by placing fourth at the Stanford Intercollegiate, and finished the fall with a team-best 70.83 stroke average. She was named the Pacific Northwest Golf Association's 2005 Women's Golfer of the Year and enters the spring season as the nation's top-rated women's golfer, according to Golfweek magazine.
Fellow senior Sung Ea Lee should also play a vital role in the Huskies' success. An honorable mention All-American in 2004, Lee finished second at the 2005 Washington State Amateur, and advanced to match play at the 2005 U.S. Public Links Championship. Though she had some difficulty during the fall season, Mulflur expects her to return to form.
"Sung had a disappointing fall, by her own admission," Mulflur says. "So now it's a matter of learning from that experience and just playing the game without worrying about consequences and outcomes. She's got a tremendous amount of talent, a great feel for the game and I'm confident that she'll play well for us this spring."
Junior Amber Prange was Washington's second-best finisher at the 2005 NCAA Championships, placing 16th. She was named an honorable mention All-Pac-10 pick, and advanced to the Round of 32 at the 2005 Western Amateur. Prange's best finish of the fall came at the Topy Cup, where she finished second on the team. Her 76.67 stroke average was third-best on the squad.
Junior Courtney McCracken was also a solid contributor for Washington in the fall, leading the way for Washington at the Ihlanfeldt Invitational and finishing the season with a 76.44 stroke average, second-best on the team. Her summer was highlighted by a quarterfinal finish at the Western Amateur.
"Amber and Courtney both really stepped up in the fall," Mulflur remarks. "Amber has an unbelievable competitiveness in her that really helps her get the most out of her game. Courtney is somebody who's really emerging as a leader. She's starting to become a little more vocal about how she feels about things. She's coming into her own, and she's just going to continue to get better for us."
Mulflur also expects contributions from other squad members.
"Our other two juniors, Ashley Bickerton and Amy Wang, didn't play a lot for us this fall, but they're very talented," Mulflur says. "That is where the depth of our squad comes in. I'm glad to have the players who aren't in the lineup all the time, who are constantly pushing the players that are in the lineup."
Sophomore Kim Shin rounds out the Husky squad, as freshman Molly Boyle will redshirt.
"Kim has a ton of talent," Mulflur says. "I think she sometimes puts too much pressure on herself. She needs to learn not to get so worked up about it internally. Even though she has this really calm exterior, you can tell she's churning inside. She needs to be comfortable with what she's doing at that moment."
Another important player for the Huskies this season will be their home course, Washington National, which will host the 2006 NCAA West Regional. After traveling across the country to play in the East Regional in 2005, Mulflur is appreciative of the chance to play on a familiar course at such a crucial time.
"Last year was really hard," she says. "When you get sent three time zones away and the players are in the middle of midterms it makes things difficult. So just to know that all we have to do is get in the van and drive to Washington National - we're all very excited about that. Being comfortable and knowing the course will be great."
After that, should the Huskies advance, will come the NCAA Championships in Columbus, Ohio. After last year's disappointment, the goal will be clear.
"Obviously our goal is to win a national championship and we know we have the talent to do that," Mulflur says. "None of the players, Paige included, was satisfied with the way we played at the end of last year, and the way we played this fall. So we have to step it up and I am confident that we will."
When a team spends an entire season ranked in the Golfweek Top 10, finishes 14th at the NCAA Championships and leaves disappointed, you know you're dealing with an elite program. When that program's two-time All-American records the school's first ever top 10 NCAA finish and feels as though she should have done better, you know you have a determined squad. Take that elite program and bring back the same determined squad for another shot at the title, and you've got the 2006 Washington women's golf team.

Map of the Holy Land
Holy Land Map
Armageddon will
start at Megiddo.
Megiddo which is approximately 60 miles north of Jerusalem will apparently be where the
Battle of Armageddon will begin. The name Armageddon is a Greek transliteration of
the Hebrew har Megiddo, mountain of Megiddo.
Currently there are about 4.9 million Jews in Israel and there are still more Jews in New York than in Israel. After Israel has gathered to the Holy Land multitudes of Jews will apparently cover the land from Jerusalem to Megiddo. Ezekiel refers to this area at this time as a land of unwalled, or unprotected, villages (Ezekiel 38: 11).
Refer to the Battle of Armageddon Overview for a more complete unfolding of the
events surrounding the Battle of Armageddon.

How To Write Blog Posts Faster
When it comes to maintaining a money making blog, there is lots to do. You have to write quality blog posts and then do what you can to get traffic to it. The problem is, if you waste too much time writing your blog content, you don't have much time to do marketing. To be more efficient, you need to discover how to write blog posts faster. That way, you have time to do other things to promote your blog. The extra time you gain will also give you the opportunity to spend time with your kids, go out for a bit of exercise or just do something relaxing instead of being chained to your computer.
Here are 7 secrets of mine that will get you churning out those blog posts in record time.
- Use Mind Mapping
On a blank piece of paper, write the title of your blog post in the middle of the page. Brainstorm as to what you can write about that topic. For example, you can simply talk about the "why" and "how" of your topic. Below is an example of what a mind map looks like.
- Don't Edit While Your Write
You don't have to write everything perfectly the first time. Just let your thoughts and ideas flow. Only edit after you've finished writing the whole blog post. Editing while writing just slows you down. What you can do is imagine you are talking to your friend about the topic. Write down what you would say. You don't edit when you talk to your friend do you?
- Create a To Do List
While you are writing, have you ever found yourself thinking "Hey, an image would do nicely here" or "Gosh, I should see if there is a good quote to go with this". Well, put all those thoughts that down on a 'to do list". Don't abandon your writing and go looking for all that stuff. Do it after you're done writing. Just put in brackets in the article you are writing something like "insert image here". You can come back and do the insertion later.
- Follow a Format or an Outline
Plan before hand how you want your blog post to look like. For example:Title
Subheading 1 – Supporting idea 1, Supporting idea 2
Subheading 2 – Supporting idea 1, Supporting idea 2, Supporting idea 3
Summary – Call to Action
- Limit Your Research Time
Be careful how much time you spend on doing research. It is so easy to get caught up in browsing all the information available out there. Give yourself a time limit and don't feel like you need to have ALL the information at your fingertips before you can start writing. Just get what is sufficient to write a good post.
- Be Focused
A blog post don't have to be long. Actually, a post that is clear, concise and to the point is more appealing to the readers. So if your topic has a lot of ground to cover, you might want to think about breaking it up into several different posts.
- Use PLR
There are lots of PLR (private label rights) that you can use to fill your blog. The article is already written for you by someone else and you can edit it as you like. Of course you can publish the PLR article as-is but it would be better if you crafted it to suit your audience. It would only take a few minutes to rewrite some sentences so the post reflects your personality. Format the article so it looks nice and suggest some products to earn some affiliate moolah.
Of course, it will take practice, practice and practice to learn how to write blog posts faster. It is a skill worth learning.
If you need more help in this area, check out the PLR package below. The neat thing about PLR is that you can first learn from the information and then later use that same information to fuel your blog. There is so many things you can do with PLR. You can even sell the information and earn back the money you spent on it.
PLR package: How to Write Blog Posts Faster
- A 11-page step-by-step template guide (2,791 words)
- A 6-page "21 Ideas for Writing Your Blog Posts Fast" Idea Sheet (1,549 words)
- 3-Week Printable Calendar (4 pages, 684 words)
- 4-page checklist (556 words)
- 12-page Resource Rolodex (1,938 words)
- 6-page Worksheet (672 words)
As you can see, this is not your ordinary PLR. It is not just articles. These are tools that you can use like the checklist, calendar and worksheet.

Disease Proof
Interview with a Nutritarian: Candee
Candee was first introduced to Eat to Live at one of my library talks in Fort Wayne, Indiana; but like many successful nutritarians it took her awhile to fully commit to following the eating plan. However, once she made the commitment, she took off running at full speed! She lost fifty pounds and now feels like she has her life back! Welcome to Disease Proof, Candee.
What was your life like before discovering Eat to Live?
I have always struggled with my weight, and I'm a lifetime member of two other weight loss programs. In my thirties I was thin and worked out after work everyday, and I ran 3 or 4 miles several times a week. At that time I didn't have a husband or kids. In my forties the weight started creeping on and I did lose most of it on the Atkins Diet; only to gain it right back and then some. I struggled with sugar, and over the last ten years I quit trying to get healthy and had pretty much stayed at the same (overweight) weight. I felt like hiding and didn't want to participate in physical activities, because it was too much effort and I was always tired.
I bought Eat to Live as soon as you told me about it, and read it while on vacation. I had good intentions to start following it as soon as I got home, but the commitment wasn't a solid one. However, I did start drinking blueberry / spinach smoothies.
How do you feel now?
I feel like I have my life back! I no longer have sugar cravings, and I have lots of energy and confidence now. I feel like the real me is here again because I'm not embarrassed by how I look anymore; plus I'm not afraid to try new activities again. This past summer while on vacation we climbed Sleeping Bear Dunes in northern Michigan. The summer before I would have been waiting in the car! I also had to go horseback riding with my daughter on Mackinaw Island because my husband is allergic to horses, and I was able to successfully do it!
Do you have any success tip(s) to share with others?
Make the decision to do it.
Change the way you think. It's about getting healthy; not just losing weight.
Eat to Live gives a good plan to follow. I planned out what I would eat everyday and it has never been a problem for me. I eat oatmeal and fruit for breakfast. I always make a big pot of bean or vegetable soup to eat for lunch, and salad or raw veggies and a hot vegetable dish and nuts/seeds for supper. I try lots of new recipes, and it has really helped me to have a handful of favorites that I know also fit the eating plan.
In a nutshell, what has nutritarian eating done for you?
I've lost 50 pounds, and went from size 16 down to a size 6; plus, my cholesterol dropped 60 points! I no longer have acid reflux disease, of which I had taken medication for 20 years. I'm still taking blood pressure medication, but I'm hopeful that I'll be off of that entirely this year. I'll turn 57 this month and I feel like I'm no longer getting older; I'm getting better!!
Congratulations Candee and keep up the great job!
Great story.Keep up the good work Candee.
This is fantastic news. Good for you!
I sooooo agree with this: "Change the way you think. It's about getting healthy; not just losing weight."
What a wonderful success story. And I totally agree--success requires changing the way that you think. To your comment about changing from "It's about losing weight" to "It's about being healthy" I would add that we need to learn to think how a thin person thinks and give up the way of thinking that overweight people often share.
For example, "I ate that cookie and it wasn't on my plan, I might as well eat the whole bag" (heavy thinking) to "I ate that cookie, it wasn't the best choice but it doesn't make me a failure, when I eat again, I am going to make great food choices" (thin thinking).
Great job Candee, I'm extremely proud of you.
Thank you for sharing your story! It is inspiring to those of us who are still on the road to better health!
What a transformation! I wouldn't have known the two pictures are of the same woman! I am so encouraged by Candee's story. I am near her age and struggle with sugar cravings, as well as feeling "deprived" if I don't have treats. I have a stricture of the urethra and can tell that what I eat makes a difference. My abdomen is also always bloated. I want to get well and am thankful for all the wonderful information, encouragement, and recipes on this website. Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman, for the work you do that helps thousands of people.
Ok...... I am starting this today.. I am tired and worn out and stressed out and over weight..... I have ONE question! I love to make smoothies.... I will eat fruit and veggies if I can put them in a smoothie.... Right now I have blueberries, 1 cup pineapple and 1/2 Mexican Grapefruit. It is wonderful....... Is that acceptable? I will drink a lot of smoothies through out the day to get the veggies and the fruit into my diet... I will do the steamed veggies also but really wanted to know about the smoothies..... Any help out there?
Congratulations on starting the journey to eat for health! That's great!
It's easy to overeat on fruit in smoothies, and it's also easy to overeat with just smoothies. Learn to also enjoy eating a variety of vegetables (both raw and cooked); and daily include onions, cooked mushrooms, colorful beans, freshly ground flax seed, raw/unsalted nuts and seeds. Eat only when truly hungry, no snacking between meals, and stop BEFORE full.
You'll be surprised and amazed how quickly the weight will drop off, cravings for junk food will subside, and energy will emerge! Keep track of your progress - it's exciting to watch!
All the best to you!
Congratulations! It's so empowering to take control of your health!
Thanks for sharing your story. Thanks for being honest about not committing fully at first. I was off and on for about a year and half until I finally decided to really do it, because, you know what, it just was not easy for me to fully change at first. I think your story is completely encouraging for those struggling to really overhaul their entire mindset and food choices. It takes work, but you can get there, and when you do, you will be successful.
Thanks again!
Suite 408

Last weekend train passengers around the world rode the rails without their pants. Until recently, cafe diners in San Francisco were under no obligation to wear even one stitch of clothing - a city ordinance allowed nudists to spread their depraved cheeks across restaurant seats and banquettes, regardless of the unsanitary consequences.
These may be extreme examples of America's accelerating abandonment of dressing in a dignified manner in public places, but dressing for comfort, even in 'upscale' restaurants seems to have gone mainstream...Hoodies are the new blazers. Baseball caps are the fedoras. Americans commit murder to capture a pair of sneakers.
In California it's not unusual to see adults wearing pajama bottoms in public. Visible male tank-top armpit-hair is as common in bistros as it is in gymnasiums. Silk blouses and oxford shirts have made way for t-shirts touting messages like "YAY, I POOPED TODAY!"
It's been a couple of decades since the coat and tie requirement for men in fine restaurants was the norm. For heedless gentlemen without tactful foresight there were always starched maître d's quick to extend the safety net with ill-fitting loaner sport coat and gravy-stained clip-on ties.
The easing of dress codes in fine restaurants, certainly a reflection of our demand to do everything casually, has essentially been a business decision by a desperate industry ravaged by downturn. Many upscale restaurateurs have conceded that the average American's idea of Friday night perfection is found at Applebee's or Ruby Tuesday, and if they can slice off a small wedge of that mall-bound "Mountain-high Mud Pie" clientele... it may mean the difference between closing and staying afloat.
Alas, there ARE some restaurant hold-outs across the country still retaining their dignity and upholding the 'jacket required for dinner' policy for men. Note...a couple of restaurants on this list may assert 'jacket preferred,' but make no mistake, better to don a jacket unless you're fond of sitting at the table next to the employee restroom. View the 24 photos list above.
San Francisco
Due to reopen after shuttering a year ago, this Bush Street institution has been helmed by some of the nation's top chefs including founder Masataka Kobayashi, Julian Serrano, and Ron Siegel. Tragically, Kobayaski was murdered by Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker) in San Francisco in 1985, two years after opening.
French Laundry
Yountville CA
Thomas Keller's 1900 farmhouse has earned title "best restaurant in the world" from many sources. Keller serves two different nine-course meals daily, never using the same ingredient more than once.
Magnificent three-story picture-window views of Lake Michigan. Chef Tony Mantuano prepares timeless Italian dishes - homemade gnocchi and black truffles. Much admired for an extensive wine list.
Les Nomades
Elegant leafy setting in the Gold Coast neighborhood. Quiet and conservative, this refined eatery originally opened as a private club. Two dining rooms from which to choose.
Perched on the 40th floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange, Everest is gorgeous and romantic yet considered one of the city's best spots for business dining.
French cuisine presented in a modern, minimalist, art-filled (Warhol, Ricter) space. Broad caviar program is complimented by a 1,500 selection wine cellar.
On many 'world's top restaurants' lists, and chef Grant Achatz charges a pretty penny for his pay-up-front, no refund reservation, 20 course tasting menu. Extraordinary presentation...truly food theater for the eyes and palate.
Le Bernardin
New York City
Midtown French seafood restaurant with Eric Ripert at the helm. Been capturing awards since 1972. Recent interior renovations - dramatic aluminum rippled walls and massive ocean paintings seem to cast diners 'adrift.'
New York City
Famed prohibition-era speakeasy with a celebrity following still greets guests with parade of iron lawn-jockeys. One of the last 'tie required' holdouts, before resorting to just jackets a couple of years ago.
Le Cirque
New York City
Synonymous with glitzy New York dining, legendary Le Cirque has outgrown its digs a couple of times in recent years. Currently occupying a 16,000 ft space in the Bloomberg Bldg. on 58th. Where pasta primavera was invented.
New York City
Famed chef David Bouley delivers an elegant work of art in Tribeca. Vaulted ceilings, delicate candlelight and French culinary innovation (Scottish Blue Lobster roasted over coffee tree charcoal) make for an ethereal experience.
La Grenouille
New York City
Romantic French dining flush with floral bouquets has held a loyal following on East 52nd for fifty years. A classic old-school French mainstay with a can't miss theater menu.
New York City
Superstar chef Daniel Boulud runs this three-star Michelin restaurant in a classical-French-renaissance setting. Perhaps the reigning star of upper East Side restaurants.
The Carlyle
New York City
Gorgeous upper East Side Carlyle Hotel eatery rated high on 'English manor-house' ambiance but moderate on food quality. Retreat to the Café Carlyle for weekly performances by Woody Allen and band, IF you're into Woody.
The River Café
Bobbing on an East River barge in the shadow of the bridge and blessed by waterfront terraces and sweeping views of Manhattan. Rose from ruin after Sandy - continues to enthrall locals, visitors, and film productions alike.
The Four Seasons
New York City
Landmark with an interior that's remained unchanged since it's 1959 opening. Power-lunch in the Grill Room remains primal, where moguls still demand preferred tables and would-be's sit in the balcony...or 'Pool Room.'
Thomas Henkelmann at Homestead Inn
Greenwich, CT
French cuisine by German chef trained in Alsace - inside a boutique hotel on Belle Haven peninsula. Stroll exquisite gardens with champagne before dinner. Retire to one of 18 comfortable guestrooms after.
The Prime Rib
Washington D.C.
Dry martinis and dry-aged slabs of beef served amid a black and gold-walled 1940's vibe on K Street. Old-school food, charm, and a bygone musical duet ensure high energy evening.
Washington D.C.
Six antique-laden seating areas to choose from in a mid-1800's Federal-style building in Georgetown. Unpretentious dishes (lamb seems to reign) served for more than 50 years.
McNinch House
Charlotte, NC
1890 Queen Anne/shingle style home of a Victorian-era Charlotte mayor. Classic dishes with Southern nuances - fish wild-caught daily from local waters. Tables serpentine throughout home and warmed by 10 tiled fireplaces.
The French Room
18th-century French chateau ambiance, vaulted hand-painted ceilings in Dallas's Grand Dame Hotel Adolphus. Several tasting menus (at a good value) from which to choose. A go-to special occasion spot for generations of locals.
Hôtel St. Germain
Seven-course tasting menu served at a hotel that exudes New Orleans panache - the dining room overlooks a French Quarter-style garden courtyard. Enjoy drinks in the parlor while your table is prepared.
Commander's Palace
New Orleans
135 year-old Garden District institution currently owned by the Brennan family. Famous for Andouille Crusted Gulf Shrimp & Grits, Turtle Soup, Creole Bread Pudding Soufflé, and their close-to-holy Sunday jazz brunch.
New Orleans
Where tradition and civility still survive amid the madness of Bourbon Street. Reservations at the table Tennessee Williams' favored are occasionally auctioned for charity. Jackets for dinner and all day on Sundays.

Poll: Protestants say they should share gospel, but few then do
A large majority of churchgoing Protestants believe it's their duty to share the gospel with non-Christians, and they also say they would feel comfortable doing it. But a majority of them still don't profess their faith to nonbelievers, according to a recent survey.
LifeWay Research released the findings on evangelism as part of its discipleship research project designed to measure spiritual maturity. The extensive survey of more than 2,900 church-going Protestants identified eight biblical attributes consistently evident in the lives of maturing believers. Of those eight, "Sharing Christ" had the lowest average score among Protestant church attendees.
"Most Christians love evangelism — as long as someone else is doing it," said Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay Research, which is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. "So, I believe that Christians need to see evangelism as their job. They need to take responsibility to share the message that they say they treasure."
And those denominations that stress reaching out to nonbelievers confirm that the effort is effective in attracting converts to their faith.
"We look for opportunities to connect with people outside of our faith, and sharing the gospel becomes a natural part of the relationship," said Steve Pike, director of the Church Multiplication Network for the Assemblies of God, which claims to open a new church somewhere in the world every 42 minutes.
The LifeWay survey found 80 percent of those who attend church one or more times a month believe they have a personal responsibility to share their faith, but 61 percent have not told another person about how to become a Christian in the previous six months.
Three-quarters of churchgoers say they feel comfortable in their ability to effectively communicate the gospel, while 12 percent say they don't feel comfortable telling others about their faith.
Nevertheless, just 25 percent say they have shared their faith once or twice, and 14 percent have shared three or more times over the last six months.
The survey also asked how many times they have personally invited a nonmember of their faith to attend a church service or other program at their church. About half (48 percent) said never, while 33 percent said they've personally invited someone one or two times, and 19 percent said they've done so on three or more occasions in the last six months.
More than 40 Protestant denominations were represented in the survey, including Episcopal/Anglican, Assemblies of God, Baptist, Church of Christ, Church of God/COGIC, Congregational, Disciples of Christ, Evangelical or E-free, Lutheran, Methodist, Nazarene, Non-Denominational, Pentecostal, Presbyterian and Seventh Day Adventist.
Stetzer said his research counters the notion that newer converts are more likely to share their faith with outsiders than longer-term Christians.
"In reality, people who have been a Christian longer have higher responses for sharing Christ than newer Christians. While new Christians may find it natural to share their new experience, mature Christians do it intentionally," said Stetzer.
Pike attributes the reluctance among Protestant Christians to invite others to Christ to a tendency to limit social interaction to those of one's own faith. Sensitivity to broaching religion in the workplace can also prevent people from discussing their faith.
He explained that Assemblies of God followers are encouraged to join social or service organizations and become involved in their local communities as a way to interact with others outside of their faith and foster genuine friendships not founded on common religious beliefs.
"We believe the God is present in that environment, and as He gets involved the opportunities to share will emerge," Pike said.

Testing began Tuesday and Bay District school officials say they are off to a good start. They haven't had too many absences for the third graders through tenth graders who take the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT).
Thursday, third and fourth graders will take a math section, while fifth graders are scheduled to be tested in reading.
Officials say the students have been working hard and the district is poised to get great results from the testing.
"The teachers are reporting the students are attending to the test, they're staying on task, they're working the full time, so they're feeling good about it," said FCAT program manager Jan Chapman.

In the middle of the 1990s, a few lovers and observers on the issues of Bali were 'in confusion.' To be sure, the booming tourists occurred since the 1980s has led to a series of new problems. On the one hand, it vaguely increases the regionally generated revenue of Bali. Meanwhile, on the other hand, it subsequently leads to scary effects to date such as the increasing consumption of land. As a result, it causes a change in the composition of land designation, rapid population migration, increase in vehicle volume, increase in infrastructure and abundant construction of tourism facilities.
There was a kind of fear at that time. Two big questions then emerge. Firstly, does the development of Bali put emphasis on the quality or quantity? Unfortunately, the government does not explicitly answer the question because the pace of development and the permits on the addition of tourist facilities increasingly escalate, especially in the area of (Southern) Badung, Denpasar and Gianyar. While on the other hand, a handful of observers and tourism businesspeople assume that Bali should have concerned with the quality. Let the tourist arrivals be low but their expenditure reaches a large amount. Moreover, the quality tourists give a high appreciation to the culture, nature and the environment.
Then, what happens? The pro-quality tourism seems to have been run over by the swift wheels of the development. Bali is progressively flooded by a myriad of tourists. On the other hand, the environmental destruction increasingly makes us sad. Fertile land diminishes and clean water supply begins to run low. Whose faults are they? The government serving as a regulator is never willing to be blamed. It always has an argument used to support each policy. Well, another problem arises again, namely the Benoa Bay reclamation containing 'grandiose' planning. Where will Bali be actually brought to? Bali, Quo Vadis?
Actually, the government and other relevant lineups can control this. The government has the authority and Bali has local wisdom that can be used to be a reference. However, the government is then powerless when facing the investors and central government. Rather than going to protect Bali, Bali itself has lost its true face. Do not really blame on the investors or the outsiders, the government and Balinese society should want to learn from the past experience. This public policy is necessary, not the growth, but distribution.
On that account, if this problem can be understood and all parties have a commitment and integrity to build Bali, what does it perform reclamation for? What does it build an airport in the other part of Bali for? If all parties are united in a commitment, so the quality tourism is one of the right answers. To realize this is very difficult but it is actually the fundamental solution. So, if the current condition is like this, Quo Vadis, Bali?

Vadam is a Sangheili state in Yermo, Iruiru, Sanghelios. It was named after its founder Ther 'Vadam, the ancestor of the House of Vadam.[1] The bloodlines that control the state share the surname Vadam, which is customary for Sangheili naming.[2]
Early history[edit]
The state of Vadam was named after Ther 'Vadam who was said to have been imprisoned by his enemies. He was starved in the prison and yet refused to kill himself. He eventually became so thin from hunger that he was able to slip his body through the bars of his window. Even in his weak state he managed to scale the cliffs of Vadam keep, and swim down the river that surrounded the keep and also provided a good source of energy. He had to walk many days and he had to eat vermin and scraps to keep himself alive.[1]
He soon came across the vast desert that was in the interior of the Sangheili land. He started rebuilding his strength and toughness in the years to come, and managed to make allies with other wanderers. His newfound allies had statuses that were lower than Vadam's but they were willing to fight under Vadam's leadership. Now that he had warriors under his command he returned to Vadam keep. He successfully defeated those who had imprisoned and laughed at him.[1]
During the San'Shyuum-Sangheili War, the state of Vadam was one of the many Sangheili city-states attacked by the Reformist San'Shyuum. However, their keep was too well-defended to be destroyed.[3]
Sangheili civil war[edit]
In March 2553, Sangheili insurgents led by the Servants of Abiding Truth launched assault on the state of Vadam. Along with nine ships and forces from Nuan Keep and Rtova Keep, Avu Med 'Telcam commanded the assault from the frigate Unflinching Resolve.[4] Eventually, however, the Unflinching Resolve suffered a direct hit and crash landed. Despite being caught off-guard it appeared as though the Arbiter would be victorious, however, news spread that he allowed humans to land on Sanghelios; this caused many keeps to ally with the Servants of Abiding Truth and the tide turned in their favor. The Arbiter was caught off guard as his own reinforcements couldn't arrive on time, and he reluctantly accepted Admiral Terrence Hood's offer for help in fending off the attackers. The UNSC Infinity destroyed the rebel forces with a MAC round, leaving a large crater near the Vadam coast and effectively ended the attack.
The Vadam keep is a large castle-like fortress built into the base of Kolaar Mountain, Sanghelios and was founded during the Sangheili's first exploratory age. Thirty miles away, there was a harbor which brought profits and wealth for the state of Vadam. The region of Vadam is a large valley that leads to the Harbor and all lands, homes and properties that are part of it are scattered about. The land is well-developed; buildings stretched across the entire state from the valley under the keep to the fields where the serfs work. The Vadam serfs also seem strongly motivated and efficient, as their great ambitions are to rise, gain distinction and receive a position inside the keep.[5]

Occupy Who? Wall Street Bonuses to Rise This Year
The Fiscal Times
The Street is doing quite nicely -- and so are many of its employees.
Wall Street may feel as if it's suffering, while coming under more intense scrutiny from regulators, and anxious about the impact of the Federal Reserve's much-anticipated "tapering" of quantitative easing. Its most recent crop of
earnings reports
have suggested otherwise, though. The Street is doing quite nicely – and, according to a just-released survey from compensation consulting firm Johnson Associates, so are many of its employees.
Those workers who have hung on to their jobs through the most recent round of cutbacks can look forward to significantly higher bonus payments in the new year, the Johnson Associates survey finds. On average, securities industry employees took home cash bonuses of $121,900 in 2012, up 9% from the prior year, according to a report released earlier this year by the
New York State Comptroller
Those with most to celebrate are the bankers who work on IPOs such as the blockbuster
Noodles & Co.
(NASDAQ:NDLS) deal: Their bonuses could go up as much as 25% from last year's levels and will be at least 15% higher. Despite the more challenging market environment, fixed income traders and others could see gains of 5% to 15%, while equities traders will fare better, with bonuses rising 10% to 20%.
Those not working in a "profit center" – trading, underwriting, advising on mergers, or otherwise generating fees – will have to settle for a ho-hum 5% increase, as the report suggests the focus on cost containment means greater conservatism when it comes to pay for support staff, lawyers, etc. Meanwhile, the likes of Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon can look for a bonus 5% to 15% higher than it was a year ago. Growing assets under management across the spectrum – from mutual funds and private banks to hedge funds and private equity – will translate into higher bonuses in these areas as well.
The more depressing areas? Well, if you're in commercial or retail banking, brace yourself for a flat year, or one in which your bonus goes up only 5%. Deposit-taking and plain vanilla lending to either businesses or individuals just isn't generating as much activity as it once did.
Remarkably, shareholders also may end up being happy with these payout levels, as they represent slightly smaller proportions of the banks' net revenue and pre-tax net income. While Johnson Associates cautions that the data is made fuzzy by partial year compensation and results, there has been a sharp drop in the latter ratio in particular, from nearly 70% to just about 60%. If it all pans out as the compensation firm predicts, it will be a very happy new year indeed for the denizens of Wall Street.

MONSTER HUNTER FREEDOM UNITE for iOS Review
- Publisher: CAPCOM
- Genre: Role Playing
- Released: 3 Jul, 2014
- Size: 782.6 MB
- Price: $14.99
- Incredibly rewarding multiplayer
- Deep RPG leveling
- Interesting world and monster designs
- Very slow to get going
- There is a lot to learn
- Cumbersome controls
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for iOS is a slow burn that takes time to master, but if you and some friends are willing to put in the effort then there are few co-op experiences as satisfying.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
When starting Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for iOS, it helps to know what you're getting into. It promises you the chance to bring down monstrous creatures in a fantasy equivalent of big game hunting, but it makes you work for every moment of enjoyment.
Before heading into the field you have to familiarise yourself with the basics. As a port of a PSP title, there are a lot of controls crammed onto your touchscreen. The result is confusing mash of context dependent virtual sticks, buttons, and swipes that take some getting used to, but which prove no more cumbersome than the original.
At its core, Monster Hunter is an action RPG. Rather than leveling-up your character's stats, though, the focus is on your equipment. Beginning as a lowly hunter, you have to undertake missions from townsfolk to gain supplies and improve your gear. Tasks range from gathering herbs to stalking massive dragons. It is a slow, difficult, but rewarding crawl to greatness, as you use the bones and hides of monsters to construct better armours and weapons.
Though there are plenty of solo missions, the game really comes alive when you start entering online hunts with up to three friends. Monster Hunter is designed around this cooperative experience, with many of the game's more esoteric design choices suddenly making sense when working as a team. The way the beautiful and varied environments are broken up into separate numbered sections suddently clicks, with the numbers allowing you to instantly let your team know where you and your prey are located.
The character classes also work better in combination. No single class is powerful in isolation, but teaming up with others their potential is revealed. Tracking a huge dragon with a horn blower to provide buffs, a lancer to deal damage, a nimble double-blade weilder, and a bowman encourages clever teamwork, and makes victories all the more satisfying.
There is a flipside to this. The game's slow pace means games regularly take upwards of twenty minutes. This, combined with high demands on battery, make Monster Hunter ill-suited to co-op gaming when you're out and about. It's also tough when playing alone, and repeating missions is a lengthy process.
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for iOS can be brutal and unforgiving. But, if you can find the right group to play with, there are few experiences on iOS as satisfying - as long as you are prepared to put the work in.

The Pasco (men's)/Andina (women's) is a unique offering, being even more radical in design than most Páramo jackets. Like other Páramo garments it is built around the tried and trusted Nikwax Analogy fabric, which is extremely good at controlling condensation and keeping rain out when hillwalking. It is also quite warm, so in winter this is a benefit, while in summer it could feel overly hot. But like most Páramo jackets you get a huge degree of ventilation control and on this jacket that means two massive side zips that extend from the elbow to the hips. These also give access to a small handwarmer pocket on each side of the jacket, which can also be accessed above a rucksack hip- or waistbelt, but they are too small for anything bigger than your hands and you risk getting water inside the jacket when using them in the rain. There is also a large chest-mounted pocket that is ideal for maps. The body of the jacket is quite short, though, which is great for fast and light action or climbing, but not so good for walking without overtrousers. The hood has a wired peak, and it fits and moves reasonably well with the head. The Pasco/Andina is designed for demanding walks and backpacking trips (so says Páramo) and its unique design will undoubtedly have its enthusiastic fans; but I'm not convinced.

Guy Fieri blew into town this summer to film segments for his Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. But while looking for greasy spoons here, Fieri stumbled upon a few Silver Spoon Award-winning joints such as Momocho, Melt and Lucky's Café. Though all his choices are no doubt good eats, he did overlook some of our city's finest diners, drive-ins and dives. Here's where we'd send him.

Boyfriend in fatal hit-and-run of teen charged as accessory
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 5:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 5:04 p.m.
The boyfriend of the suspected driver in a hit-and-run crash that killed a 14-year-old was arrested by troopers Wednesday in connection to the fatal accident, an official said.
The Florida Highway Patrol arrested James Hugh Hanna III, 59, on a warrant and charged him with tampering with evidence and accessory after the fact for the crash that killed DeLand teen Juliana Hobbs, FHP spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes said. Details of his role in the aftermath of the fatal crash were not made available.
Troopers say Hanna's girlfriend, Danielle Halverson, was the person driving the 2004 Toyota Corolla that struck Hobbs and friend Rachel Russell, also 14, while they were walking home along Spring Garden Avenue the night of March 17. Russell suffered minor injuries in the crash.
Halverson, who was arrested Oct. 16, is charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident and leaving the scene of an accident with injury, court records show. The 50-year-old was arrested again Friday when she failed to show up for her arraignment in the case.
Hanna was taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail where he was being held on $7,500 bail.

How To Install Handrails For Concrete Steps
Concrete stairs can be made dangerous and slick to walk on by ice and water. Installing hand rails will help reduce the risk of falling on stairs as it will give support to the unbalanced person. You can be able to install handrails for concrete steps on your own if you have a guide that will show you how to go about it.
Handrails are available in many shapes, sizes and materials. This means that you have to be very careful when you are choosing a particular type. The things that you should keep in mind are quality and cost. Try as much as possible to get the highest quality handrails that you can afford. If you are lucky, you may find some that even meet your tastes and / or preferences. Shop around before you make up your mind.
The handrails you choose for concrete steps should be made from metal. Metal is very durable and it acts as a very strong support. Buy a metal stair kit that has all the components for the stair railing. The stair railing of your choice should be easy to grip. It should also stand above the stair tread a distance of approximately 30 to 45 inches.
Things you will need
You will need some items to help you with your project. Some of these items may be improvised if they are not readily available. The items you need are:
Railing brackets
Vertical railing balusters
Step 1
Start by marking the locations where each vertical baluster will be on the tread of the stair. The railing brackets should be placed in the locations marked. By placing them on these locations, they will act as the pilot holes' guides. Select the location the bracket screws will be placed on the stair tread. At this location, a masonry bit should be used to drill holes. A masonry bit is used because it is the best for drilling holes on stone or concrete.
Step 2
The brackets should be lined over the holes you have drilled. Now you can screw the lead masonry anchors and screws into the pilot holes. This move will ensure the brackets are fastened to the treads. At this point you will be halfway through with installation of handrails for concrete steps.
Step 3
The bottom of every baluster should be fit into the brackets. Once they have been secured, tighten the screws that have been set with a wrench to make sure the baluster is held into the bracket.
Step 4
Fit the rails (the intermediate, bottom and top) to the balusters. Remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions due to the variations in the railing. Finish by tightening all screws that are set with a screwdriver or wrench.
From these instructions and tips, it is quite evident that installing handrails for concrete steps is not a daunting task. All the same, it is advisable to wear protective clothing and ask for assistance should you feel like you have hit a dead end. Assistance can be provided by your local building or construction contractors.

Serpent Is Rising
Jonas Psalter
Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by James Young
When Captain Jonas Psalter
Sailed his ship to sea
Anne Bonny kept him company
The skull and crossbones flew
Above the ocean blue
The captain's men where a pirate's crew
The ships they sought to take
Were of the Spanish Main
A gift from Ferdinand of Spain
And though you rob and kill to find your dream
Your crimes are hardly what they seem
Tortuga held the treasure of a thousand kings
So Jonas planned to steal everything
Two hundred men stood guard
Around the fortune's nest
But Psalter's steel slew all the rest
And when the smoke had cleared
And bloody bodies lay
Everyone could hear the minstrel play
Woo woo Jonas Psalter
You've captured every prize
There is to dream of in one life
And so we wonder why
We found you in your bed
With that bullet in your head
Unfortunately we're not authorized to show these lyrics.
