What is the equipment exactly and why was it created?
Part scientist, mechanical genius and anatomist, Joseph Pilates created a movement system he coined "Contrology," accompanied by a variety of equipment that he referred to as "Apparatus."
The Apparatus was designed to help accelerate the process of stretching, strengthening, body alignment and increased core strength started with mat work.
What's the most popular piece of equipment or apparatus?
The best-known and most popular piece today, the reformer, was originally called the Universal Reformer, aptly named for "universally reforming the body." Eventually a full complement of equipment and accessories was designed by Pilates, including the Cadillac, Wunda Chair, High "Electric Chair", Spine Corrector, Ladder Barrel and Ped-o-Pul. Seventy-five percent of the Pilates repertoire is performed on the reformer and mat, while other pieces are used for creating a balanced workout and addressing the individual needs of a student.
Pilates Equipment vs. Mat. What's the Difference?
While Mat classes are the typical entry into Pilates for many participants, Classical Mat exercises are often difficult for a beginner because they do not have the core strength to perform the exercises correctly. The Classical Pilates Method is based on a full, integrated system of equipment—the Mat exercises are just part of the technique (only 25 percent of the Pilates exercise repertoire can be performed on a Mat) and often the first step toward learning the equipment. By adding equipment, your members will experience a more authentic, quality experience. The equipment works better and faster to change the body, as the springs on the equipment provide support and resistance that allow an individual to enhance their core connection in a way that is difficult to do on the Mat alone. Because of this, the equipment allows you to shape, tone, lengthen and align quite differently than the Mat. In short, the equipment works better and faster to change the body. Furthermore, additional advanced core work is available on equipment for the more accomplished practitioner. Last but not least, working on the equipment is fun!
Whether you offer Mat classes alone or a combination of Pilates equipment and Mat, a mix of programming options to challenge and progress your members is essential.
|Why Springs?
|Most equipment designs utilize a spring mechanism that the exerciser works to control while moving in various planes. The idea to use springs was conceived while Joseph Pilates was interned during WWI. He attached bed and machinery springs to the bedposts of infirm prisoners. With the arrangement, he facilitated circulation and healing by moving injured limbs in ranges patients could not otherwise perform, thereby restoring joint function and muscular strength and re-educating the body.

|What is the Pilates Mat?
|All of the equipment Joseph Pilates created came after the development of mat work. The equipment is utilized in various ways but is especially for building strength and assisting in precise and beautiful performance on the mat. Sometimes we say, "the mat is the method." Mat work is the entry into Pilates for many participants and clubs. It includes numerous exercises of varying difficulty and progression.
See our selection of mats available »
|What is the Reformer?
|The Universal Reformer, known as the reformer, is the most popular piece of equipment and one of Joseph Pilates's original inventions. He believed beginning exercise in the horizontal plane was important to relieve the stress and strain on the joints, and to align the body before adding additional gravitational forces through the central axis while standing, sitting or kneeling. Classically, there are more than a hundred movements created for the reformer, each dependent and built upon the other.
See our selection of reformers available »
|What is the Cadillac?
|The original piece of equipment Joseph Pilates invented during his captivity, the massage and therapeutic table is known today as the Trap Table or Cadillac. Initially, the table was used therapeutically. In time, however, he developed the table to resemble a single four-poster bed with springs, wooden bars and hanging trapezes to challenge even the most fit. Concentration is a must in order to work your arms, legs, trunk and entire body against the various spring tensions and positions this equipment affords.
See our selection of Cadillacs available »
|What is the Wunda Chair?
|The Wunda Chair was invented as a result of Joseph Pilates's observation of Chinese acrobatic maneuvers on a "box"—when turned over it doubles as an actual chair. Pure function. He had strong beliefs about how we should sleep and sit, and designed furniture accordingly. He considered modern chairs compromising to optimal internal functioning and posture. The Wunda Chair is often used for individual needs to challenge balance and strength as a student progresses from the introductory Pilates work.
See our selection of chairs available »
|What is the High/Electric Chair?
|A classic piece of equipment, it prepares the student to work on the more complex low chair in addition to meeting the individual needs of specific issues as brought out in part A and B of the session format. The design is therapeutic in that it provides tactile feedback from the high back support. Primarily used for standing and sitting movement sequences. The student is to provide the "electricity" to properly perform the exercises.
See our selection of chairs available »
|What is the Ladder Barrel?
|Joseph Pilates created numerous innovations for individuals with specific maladies. The Ladder Barrel was one of these innovations. He was highly concerned with the flexibility of the spine and the corresponding strength of the center. Consequently this equipment offers challenging abdominal exercises as well as flexibility movements that stretch and strengthen the entire body. Used for individual needs.
See our selection of barrels available »
|What is the Spine Corrector/Hump Barrel?
|Utilized for individual needs, stretching, aligning and strengthening the spine. Relieves stiffness of the shoulders and hips as well as relieving common backaches and problems ailing the population today.
See our selection of barrels available »
|What is the Ped-o-Pull?
|The Ped-o-Pul exercises challenge the body against gravity with the assistance of the "pole," which essentially represents the spine. Shoulder girdle issues for individual needs are met with this equipment.
See the Ped-o-Pul and other small equipment available »
|What is the Peak PilateSystem®?
|Invented and offered exclusively by Peak Pilates, the PPS is a revolution in portable Pilates equipment that is available in two models: the Deluxe PPS and the PPS Reformer. The Deluxe combines three primary pieces of Pilates equipment (reformer, Cadillac and mat) into a multi-use, foldable footprint that allows for a complete Pilates workout on a single unit. The PPS Reformer is the only portable reformer that can be easily upgraded to a full, multi-use combination system.

|What is the Total Workout System®?
|Originated by Peak Pilates, the Total Workout System combines the mat, reformer and Cadillac in one footprint. The carriage is hinged and converts from reformer to Cadillac in a matter of minutes.

|What is the MVe® Fitness Chair?
|An evolutionary take on the original Wunda Chair, the MVe Fitness Chair brilliantly integrates a lightweight, open frame with a sleek, stackable design. The MVe's patented spring changing system is incredibly easy to use, allowing you to change resistance levels without ever removing or wrestling with springs.

Consider the following real-world example of how self-esteem influenced two people's responses to the same situation.
Three candidates interviewed for a job. One candidate was hired and the other two were sent rejection letters. Of these two, one had high self-esteem and the other low self-esteem. Read how each candidate responded to their rejection letter. Have you ever been in a similar situation? How did you respond?
|Low self-esteem: I interpreted the rejection letter to mean that my skills were lacking, my presentation wasn't polished - that I was just not good enough. I got depressed and didn't want to apply for any other jobs. I didn't tell anyone that I didn't get the job because I was too embarrassed.
|High self-esteem:
I interpreted the rejection letter as a sign that I needed to improve my
interviewing and presentation skills. I asked my friends for constructive
criticism, modified my presentation, and applied for a similar job at another
company. I see each job interview as a valuable opportunity to practice my
skills and gain more experience.

Skip to comments.Major Brand Pet Foods Recalled Due To Salmonella
Posted on 05/08/2012 9:50:07 AM PDT by Slings and Arrows
May 7, 2012 9:23:00 AM
On May 4, 2012, Diamond Pet Foods expanded a pet food recall due to possible salmonella contamination. More than a dozen people in several states may have been infected due to contact with contaminated pet food. Affected foods include specific lots of dry dog and cat food branded as:

Natural Balance
Wellness (WelPet LLC)
Apex Pet Foods
These foods were widely distributed in the U.S. and Canada.
You can check your pet food to see if it has been recalled. Affected bags of food have best-before dates between December 9, 2012, and April 7, 2013. Recalled foods include:
· Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul

Salmonella is a bacterial infection that can affect both animals and humans. Symptoms may include decreased appetite, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Pets and people who carry the disease can infect others, so if you or your pet are experiencing symptoms and you have purchased and used the affected dog food, take all due precaution and see a doctor and/or veterinarian. You can prevent spread of the disease by washing your hands thoroughly and following physician instructions.
If you have purchased one of the recalled pet foods, you should immediately stop feeding it to your animals, and contact the place you purchased the pet food from - refunds may be available. For complete information, visit the Diamond Pet Foods recall page, the Costco pet product recall pages, the Natural Balance recall page, the Wellness recall page, the Canidae recall page, or the FDA's recall page, which has information on multiple brands in the Animal Health section. The CDC also has information on documented salmonella contamination.
THANKS Slings and Arrows!
I help at a local no-kill cat shelter and we get a lot of cat food donations will let the shelter know. :)=^..^=
You're very welcome.
Diamond is the brand many pointing dog kennels and trainers use. Or did, at any rate, until the 2005 aflatoxin recall in which a number of dogs died as I recall. I no longer use it.
No one that is any good and knows what they are doing feeds Diamond. It is pure crap. You might as well feed sawdust... The ONLY reason anyone feeds it is because it is dirt cheap. And in this case, you get what you pay for.
I am done with Diamond. I have fed it for years with good results but their quality control is out of control. I am going with Purina Pro from now on.
Thank you for the information-I feed only Pedigree to my Husky and Friskies/Purina to my cats, but I left a message for my neighbor who buys that Natural Balance for her Sheltie.
What they aren't telling you is that "Taste of the Wild" made in Gaston, NC, is also on the recall list. It's mostly sold through distibutors, but is a (usually) grain free high quality food. I am watching my dam and her 11 day old pups closely for salmonella.
My pleasure.
Kirkland Signature Natures Domain Salmon Meal & Sweet Potato Formula for Dogs
She couldn't keep anything in her front or back...she lived though.
Thanks! I finally checked, and neither of my bags are from the affected product line (so far). But at nearly $50/30lbs, I expect better than that of Taste of the Wild. It's ridiculous to spend that much on friggin dogfood, but one dog has an especially delicate digestive system. The non-salmonella TotW helps a lot with that...
Just e-mailed. :)=^..^=
Commercial dog food is bad and should only be fed sparingly.
It is much better to feed dogs human grade food. I feed my five dogs meat and vegetables every night and they are in fantastic health.
It's not hard to do at all, and it's less expensive than people think.
My experience exactly, including the switch to Purina. In its early years Diamond had a reputation for premium feeds at a reasonable price. No longer. They've done it to themselves.
Thanks for the info................I have 2 dogs and I sure wouldn't want to see them sick!
When will we ever get back to calling it typhoid?
Salmonella is the name of the bacterial that causes the disease, typhoid.
Remember Typhoid Mary? She was the carrier of the salmonella bacteria that got so many people sick with typhoid.
I have 4 bags of the 4 Health which is on the recall list, its going back this afternoon. I mix it with Royal Canin for my two German Shepherds. My female shepherd has a delicate digestive system and the combination is very satisfactory. I cut cost by mixing the less expensive with the more expensive. They have eaten about a third of a bag and they are fine as well as myself. Can't wait to get rid of it and its a crime that this happens, usually by the time we get the word, its too late. Hopefully not this time.
FYI ping
No offense Slings and Arrows, but that list is incomplete at this time. Diamond made a real mess out of communicating with the public regarding these recalls. They trickled out information all weekend long and even their own list is incomplete...Wellness isn't on it!
Diamond Pet Foods has voluntarily recalled some brands of dry dog and cat food that it manufactured in its Gaston, S.C. facility between December 9, 2011 and April 7, 2012 due to potential Salmonella contamination. The brands that were recalled on May 4 have not tested positive for Salmonella. The company is recalling certain batches of these brands, however, as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and well-being of customers and their pets. Consumers should check this website for the production codes and best-before dates on the bags of recalled food, and discontinue feeding it. To learn whether or not the brand of dog or cat food you use is included in the recall, please select it from the list below. Please note: we have issued CORRECTED production codes for all the brands below except for Apex. Each brand's page will have the CORRECTED production codes.
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul
Country Value
Diamond Naturals
Premium Edge
Taste of the Wild
Kirkland Signature/Kirkland Signature Natures Domain
I feed my critters people food, because they think they are people!
Serioiusly, thanks for the post. I read labels all the time, stay away from Sam's pet food because it's made in China. guess you can't be too careful.
Have you tried Nature's Variety Foods?
Test & Hold Protocol
Natures Variety utilizes a test and hold protocol to ensure that all products test negative for harmful bacteria before being released for sale.
Natures Variety uses a third party laboratory to test every lot of finished product in order to confirm that it is negative for select pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, and Listeria monocytogenes). When the test results are reviewed and confirmed negative, the product is released for shipment to our distributor partners and then on to retail stores.
I put out some asparagus for my two dogs yesterday. One of them ate it, but the other one didn't, the ingrate. - They count on their slice of baloney every night, cheese sometimes. Peanut butter and crackers, I feed for laughs when it sticks to the roofs of their mouths. They like it; but it does stick to the roofs of their mouths. They also like their Purina dry food and nibble on it as they like. The cat likes her tuna and sliced deli turkey breast; Nine Lives is the only one she can keep down (dry kind).
They are all "gold bricks"; attractive and valuable, but just lay there most of the time.
Our cats wouldn't eat the Costco dry food. I returned the bag and bought Purina at the grocery store (which they love). They tend to barf up the dry Friskies brand (but will eat the Friskies wet food in small cans),
My 8yr old Golden, (Josh) is sick as a dog. (sorry not funny)
He's done well with Canidae dry for many years. Current bag of Canidae Chicken & Rice formula doesn't meet the recall information but what else could it be? He's never sick.
Found out about the recall today. Took him to the Vet's. He's running a slight fever.
Three meds and boiled ground beef and rice for three days.
The Vet thinks he'll be OK.
The only problem has been vets. We learned a long time ago to tell them that our dogs are fed a high-dollar dry food (I usually say Science Diet because that is the brand that the vet sells). Otherwise we get serious negative feedback. We actually had to get a new vet at one point because the old vet refused to render a diagnosis for a potentially serious issue on account of the dog being fed "table scraps" and refused to treat the dog further until we switched him to commercial dry food for ten days.
Also learned never to tell the vet that you buy pet meds online. I swear that if they could have called the cops on us they would have.
My dogs eat chicken, pork or beef. They don't like dog food. One will eat it sometimes but usually not. I cook for them. Wish they would eat dog food, though. A lot less work and cost.
I'm taking back my TOTW.
[BG...thought you should know]
In case nobody's heard of it, 4Health is the new "store brand" that Tractor & Supply started carrying last year.
*Some* of the varieties were pretty decent food.
So much for that.
Diamond has their filthy hands in everything.
Solid Gold dog food recalled as part of Diamond Pet Food recall
The following products will be part of this voluntary precautionary recall. Only the two foods with this particular best before date and batch code will be part of the recall.
Solid Gold WolfKing Large Breed Adult Food
All sizes
Best before December 30, 2012
Batch code starting with SGL1201
Solid Gold WolfCub Large Breed Puppy Food
All Sizes
Best before December 30, 2012
Batch code starting with SGB1201
No other Solid Gold products are affected.
It's just one variant of salmonella:
A distinction is made between enteritis Salmonella and Salmonella typhoid/paratyphoid Salmonella, where the latterbecause of a special virulence factor and a capsule protein (virulence antigen)can cause serious illness, such as Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi. Salmonella typhi. is adapted to humans and does not occur in other animals.
Just for the sake of helping him along, start stuffing probiotics into him, too.
ProBios is good and is available at feed stores.
The big box pet stores will have probiotics, too.
If you can't find those, LIVE culture yogurt is better than nothing.
Hope your pup gets well soon.
Blue Buffalo is unaffected.
We did rice and ground beef with Cocoa too...I found it puked up in the back yard. She is 11 so that didn't help. But she was bouncing around last night when it was time for the walk.
We have never trusted the commercial pet foods. We make our own. Have a very healthy and happy dog. Much cheaper to feed too.
Diamond has been the subject of an inordinate number of recalls for a variety of issues over the last few years...
Most commercial food is made with corn and other grains, which are not very good for dogs.
If the first few ingredients are corn or cornmeal, stay away from that brand.
This is why my dogs are on the "Raw Meaty Bones" diet. This way I know what they are eating. They're healthy, happy, look and smell good, and the vet always comments on just how great they look.
The video by NaturalBalance's president makes the problem a little clearer for users of that brand. In short, Diamond Foods is a co-manufacturer of several formulas for different dog food companies and Diamond's facilities are the problem.
My dog's food is home cooked fresh low-fat pork loin suplemented with a handful of Natural Balance's potato and duck small bites.

Call your vet and give him a "clue", because he apparently lost his...
Thanks man, good thinking.
Just picked up some Pro Bios from Tractor Supply.
Will start this evening.
In the approx half hour, since I posted the *Diamond* image above, I tracked down that the bag of Canidae we feed The Winchester isn't in the recall. Phew! We wouldn't have qualified for a return/rebate b/c we didn't have the receipt.
Good night nurse...another thing to worry about. Geez.:(
Hug your pups for me!
This affects people not dogs. The people effected are immuned compromised (ex: AIDS patients). Dogs can eat rotten stuff (carrion) with no ill effects, people can't.
I'll just continue my policy of not eating dog food.
Just returned from Tractor Supply where I picked up some Pro Bios that Freeper Salamaner recommended. Josh was sitting at the door waiting for me, ready to play. Good sign. Hope Cocoa is well.
Sorry Salamander, I'm better with dogs than spelling.

My husband, Dirk, is a volunteer firefighter with the Belleville Fire Department. Early this spring a man fell thru the ice. My husband risked his life to crawl out onto the unsafe ice to save this mans life. He was able to reach the man & with the help of the rest of the volunteers from Belleville, this man was pulled to the safety of shore. Without the response from my husband, Dirk & the rest of the volunteers, this man would not have survived.
Hy Husband is my Hero!

The first is a solo exhibition of works by landscape artist Sylvia Benitez, an East Coast native now living and working in Seguin. The exhibition, titled "Climb Every Mountain," will open this Saturday and will feature her quietly luminous paintings that, according to the artist, were "inspired by the light, color and feel of the South Texas landscape."
The second exhibition on view is a collection of delicate watercolors by Beeville artist Crystal Farris. Titled "Change," the show will include approximately 20 works by Farris, including one or two sculptures.
Farris employs butterfly imagery to symbolize change-continual change in the environment and the constant adaptation that life requires. According to the artist, one of the central pieces in the exhibition, "Wildest Dreams" refers to the title of a song by the Moody Blues and features brightly colored butterflies floating over a background of ethereal blossoms.
Director of education at the Beeville Art Museum, Farris manages multiple, successful programs at the museum, including docent training, school tours, summer art camps and art workshops.

In Dubai, in Poland or at the Global Virtual Forum "Work Smarter, Take Out Costs In a Tough Economy last week, there was a common thread emerging from conversations with customers. How do we work smarter in today's economy to survive and thrive without going extinct? IBM's vision for a Smarter Planet is based on how much smarter the world has become with all the technology that exists today. We are more interconnected, instrumented and intelligent. This smart is embedded and applies to people, to industries, to companies and countries.
You may have heard my analogy of the cheetah and chipmunk (entire transcripthere thanks to @joemckendrick). The fastest animal is in danger of going extinct despite its speed but the cartoonish chipmunk has adapted to its environment due to its agility and ability to adapt to a changing environment.
Joe's excellent post onTime to get bullish on SOA, IT and the economy drives the point home where he states "Times of turmoil always equate to times of new opportunity. As I've said before time and again, the current rough-and-tumble economy is really a time for SOA — and information technology in general — to shine, to prove their mettle." @monkchips also expands the viewpoint stating that "soa isn't about cost cutting, it is a growth engine"
I want to elaborate further on why we believe that service orientation really is the key to agility and cost optimization. By extracting services from your applications, putting those business services in a reusable format, it allows you to quickly change, based on what's happening in the environment, or to invoke change yourself on the industry. It allows you to flexibly connect information, because you isolate the business logic from the underpinning IT and you can reuse.. not just the IT assets, but the business assets as well.
This allows you to unlock the power of your business resources, as well as your IT resources. And provide agility and cost optimization.
How do you measure agility? You can run through our key agility indicators, KAIs. If you're going to focus on agility, you need to be able to measure it. Like our customer, Ralph Warchol at Clayton Homes who emphasizes the importance of business stakeholder buy in and states on the Global Virtual Forum "if you can't measure it, how can you manage it."
As @dortchonit nicely sums it up, "Yeah, it's hard work. But if you want to run a truly agile, intelligent, and successful business, it's work worth doing. And the alternatives are harder, I promise." More coverage on Michael's blogThe Big Mash Up
Meanwhile, if you missed the Global Virtual Forum, you can get to the replay athttp://tinyurl.com/bv3489 and we will continue these conversations on working smarter, taking down costs and why it is important in today's economic climate at IBM IMPACT 2009
Here's to chipmunks!

Saturday Night Quickie – Favorite Photo #2
For our family vacation last year, we spent a week in Florida. Nothing unusual there. Now some of you may question my sanity regarding the decision to drive from Pennsylvania to Florida and back, with two elementary-school-age children in the car. Surprisingly, no one drove each other to commit any crimes.
Driving affords us the opportunity to make stops along the way if we see anything of interest. On the way home, we decided to stop for the night near Savannah, Georgia to take in a South Atlantic League game between the Savannah Sand Gnats and the visiting Charleston River Dogs.
First of all, I love the names of minor league teams. Sand Gnats! Their mascot is a giant gnat named Gnate.
But the thing that caught my eye at this game was this:
What is going on here? Did they just not have a picture of poor Justin Snyder? All the other River Dogs had real pictures on the screen when they were at bat. Do the Sand Gnats choose one visiting player to pick on every game? Or is this a cautionary image of how your head will balloon up if you take too many steroids?
Enquiring minds want to know!
(photo by me)

Nice. Did he forget picture day? At least they didn't just leave the screen black!
My family is insane enough for road trips together too! Everyone is still alive. You get some of the greatest pictures on those side trips too!

Love the name of the team. The Sand Gnats! I mean, come on. You can't make that stuff up!
Loved the picture! And the poor guy! I guess there could have been worse pictures that they could have come up with!
Ok, my kids play a LOT of video games and that cartoon dude in the photo looks like something out of either Pokemon or one of their Mario games. I have seen that before, but can't place it…will have to consult the kids later :O)
Mario Brothers. That's my vote.
OK, I thought it looked a little familiar. It is a character from the various Mario games, called Toad. He is a humanoid mushroom. They actually have this stuff in Wikipedia! One of my son's first video games was Mario Kart Double Dash, which he insisted I play with him, so that is probably why it is stuck in my subconscious.
Me again. Interesting that some of your comments came into my email, and some didn't. What's up with that? And Canuck, you got one of those movable type errors on your first comment, didn't you? I've had that happen before and then ended up with duplicate comments. The wonders of technology!🙂
yep…was happening all over the place last night. I wasn't the only victim either. I hate those errors.
Travelling is what drives me and I applaud you Sue for taking that huge distance with kids and then stopping to see stuff in the process. So brave : )
Thanks Tom! Nowadays with all the ways to keep themselves entertained (Gameboys, iPod, DVD player in the car, etc.) it's not the daunting undertaking it must have been for my parents 30 years ago. Come to think of it, maybe that's why we only ever did it once, and never again!🙂

home executive: Those were very helpful pictures, I've never seen that before. My LO has had a little mucousy bloody poop in her stool after she ate green beans! I probably wouldn't have worried so much if I'd seen those pictures. I didn't know what they defined as currant jelly either! But definately she's never had that before.. thank goodness.
My DD's stool went back to normal after a couple of poops. Doc was not worried. She also had a bit of bloody stools after I tried a couple of spoons of similac (thinking I had to wean cause I was sick, so I tried). Also, that cleared up as well (No dairy allergies that I know of.. I haven't had to restrict my diet).
I hope it all goes wyattsmama, I can understand your alarm. I hope everything will go back to normal without any problems In my case it did, and doc wasn't worried because it didn't persist.
Keep us posted!

Recently, when the temperature was way south of zero, I was sitting in my nice, warm dining room eating my nice, hot bowl of oatmeal.
In late fall we had strategically placed our bird feeder station so we could sit at the table and watch all the action. You know, the finches happily flitting in the air from feeder to feeder, the doves doggedly scooping up the fallen seeds on the ground, and the kamikaze squirrels flinging themselves from the trees at anything edible.
On a morning that had already hit minus 11, I figured it would be all quiet on the feathered front. Not. There they were on this ridiculously cold day, all our furry and plumy thespians on stage as usual, ready for another episode of "Suet Yourself."
I guess the birds know a good thing when they see it. My wife faithfully refills their feeders daily. In fact, the other day I went with her to the store to replenish our supplies. I couldn't believe the variety of seeds that we provided: thistle, sunflower, finch, millet, songbird mix … it was like I have an Old Birdy Buffet in my backyard.
As she was stacking the bags into my arms, I noticed the price tags.
"Geesh, honey, we're spending a lot of money on those birds."
"I know, but they are like you … once I start feeding them, I can't stop because they depend on me for their food. You wouldn't want me to stop cooking for you, would you?"
Speechless and reduced to the status of a dark-eyed male junco, I just silently stood there as she piled the bags of seed into my waiting arms. Thirty-some dollars later we were out the door and on our way home.
As part of our winter bird sanctuary, we also provide an unfrozen water source for our beaked consumers. Besides providing hydration, bathing provides the birds with opportunities for preening, which aligns feathers for optimized insulation against the cold. In other words, they also need an outdoor heated spa.
Thus, enter the Allied Precision Deluxe 250-watt Bird Bath Heater and De-Icer. Not to worry, this unit provides multiple thermostatic sensors so the water maintains a comfortable avian temperature. It's also Teflon-coated to reduce mineral buildup. It has so many bells and whistles I'm surprised Michael Bolton isn't singing about it.
Now, I'm not begrudging providing Mr. Sparrow and Associates with what they need to survive the winter. Sure, it's an added expense. And if it fits in the budget, so be it. I just get jealous when my wife rejects my box of Twinkies from the shopping cart because of their fat content but she's happy to give those guys a wad of lard called suet.
And as for the kamikaze squirrels, I figure if they're up for extreme feeder-jumping, then let nature take its course. We see them on the ground eating side by side with the birds and they all get along fine. Maybe it's we humans that have the problem. We put out free food and then we're indignant when hungry animals show up. That's like inviting all the relatives over for dinner and then being upset when your mother-in-law shows up. (Sorry, bad comparison on many levels)
So welcome, all you winged and fleet-footed creatures. There's plenty of food for all and we change the spa water daily. You goldfinches, we'll be putting out some purple coneflowers soon. Cardinals, look for some safflower seeds. Flickers, get ready for some peanuts. And you squirrels, save some food for the birds or I'll make you listen to Michael Bolton Honda commercial songs.

Fantasy Guru Daily: 7/8/11
Thursday brought us a long, tense day of labor negotiations, and now an absolutely crucial time continues in New York today. Elsewhere, a decision in Tennessee leaves the league with one less capable veteran quarterback.
Collins retires … If you take a look at the numbers – 3,439 completions (9th); 6,193 attempts (9th); and 40,441 yards (11th) – the average fan probably wouldn't guess they belong to Kerry Collins. After a somewhat underrated 16-year career, the 38-year-old Collins opted to retire Thursday, thus ending speculation that he'd re-sign in Tennessee and hold the starting QB job while rookie Jake Locker tries to adjust to the pro game.
Collins had an up-and-down career, beginning when he was the 5th overall pick out of Penn State in the 1995 draft and the first ever pick of the expansion Carolina Panthers. He proceeded to lead the team to the NFC Championship game in his second year and the team's second year. But his career with the Panthers and then the Saints in the '90s was derailed by problems with alcohol before he went through rehab and resurrected his career [...]

Memorial Day weekend is the time many families open their home pools for the summer. Pool owners, especially those with young children and grandchildren, should always keep in mind the deadly hazards a pool can pose. About 350 children under 5 years old drown in pools each year nationwide and 2,600 are treated in hospital emergency rooms for near-drowning incidents. Most of the cases involve residential pools.
To prevent this tragedy, many pool owners use pool alarms designed to sound a warning if a child falls into the water. Sales of pool alarms have doubled since 1994. A study released today by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) tested the performance of various pool alarm systems.
The CPSC study looked at three types of alarms: floating alarms that detect waves on the surface; underwater alarms that detect waves under the surface; and a wristband alarm, which is worn by a child, and alarms when exposed to water.
CPSC's tests showed that underwater alarms performed the most consistently (with one surface alarm - PoolSOS - performing almost as well). Underwater sensors alarm more consistently and are less likely to false alarm. When a test object, intended to simulate the weight of a small child, was pushed into a pool, the underwater sensors detected it most reliably. The underwater alarms also can be used in conjunction with pool covers, whereas the surface alarms cannot. The wristband device alarmed well but can be impractical because the caregiver must remember to put it on the child, and it alarms when exposed to any water source, such as tap water.
"Pool alarms can be used as an extra safeguard, but should never be relied upon as the only line of defense in preventing a child from drowning in your pool," said CPSC Chairman Ann Brown. "The keys to preventing these tragedies are placing barriers around your pool, closely supervising your child and being prepared in case of an emergency."
Pools should have layers of protection to prevent drowning:
- Fences and walls should be at least 4 feet high and installed completely around the pool. Fence gates should be self-closing and self-latching. The latch should be out of a small child's reach.
- If your house forms one side of the barrier to the pool, then doors leading from the house to the pool should be protected with alarms that produce a sound when a door is unexpectedly opened.
- A power safety cover -- a motor-powered barrier that can be placed over the water area -- can be used when the pool is not in use.
- For above-ground pools, steps and ladders to the pool should be secured and locked, or removed when the pool is not in use.
- If a child is missing, always look in the pool first. Seconds count in preventing death or disability. Keep rescue equipment by the pool, and be sure a phone is poolside with emergency numbers posted. You or someone in your household should know CPR.
- Pool alarms can be used as an added precaution. Underwater pool alarms generally perform better and can be used in conjunction with pool covers. CPSC advises that consumers use remote alarm receivers so the alarm can be heard inside the house or in other places away from the pool area.
CPSC offers three free publications consumers can use to help prevent child drowning: "Safety Barrier Guidelines for Pools," "How to Plan for the Unexpected" and "Guidelines for Entrapment Hazards: Making Pools and Spas Safer." Some localities have incorporated the CPSC guidelines into their building codes and regulations.
Copies of these publications can be obtained here on CPSC's website, or by writing to "Pool Safety", CPSC, Washington, D.C., 20207.

Intuition in Healthcare
What is intuition?
If you are like many people, you may already have a good idea what intuition is and the role it plays in your life. Perhaps you have had experiences like these:
- You had a sense of the best decision, like who to hire or when to make a career change.
- You had a feeling or a sense about a situation or person, for example you knew something was wrong with your child or that you could trust a particular person.
- You knew in advance who was calling on the phone or what someone was going to say.
- You encountered intuition as part of your religious or spiritual life; perhaps receiving intuitive guidance in a variety of circumstances.
Look over the words or phrases listed below. If you have used them, you were probably describing an intuitive experience.
|Gut feeling
|I had a feeling
|My heart told me
|Sixth sense
|In a flash
|I saw the light
|Knew instantly
|In the zone
An inner voice
|Felt one with life
Even people who are very familiar with intuitive experiences find intuition and how it operates hard to describe. One helpful way to understand intuition is as direct knowing or an inner knowing without thinking it through.
What are some common misconceptions about intuition?
There are many misconceptions about intuition that are important to clear up.
1. Intuition is only experienced by certain "gifted" people.
Actually, intuition is a normal human experience and is reported in cultures throughout the world. However most people don't learn about what intuition is and how to use it, so they are not aware how it works in their life. But all people have the capacity for intuition.
It is true that some people have more intuitive talent, or strengthen their intuition through practice, or are simply born into an environment that supports the development of intuition. These things can enhance intuition, just as practice and support enhance the development of just about any human attribute!
2. Women are more intuitive than men.
In reality, both men and women are born with intuition. However, in Westernized societies, women and artists have more permission to be intuitive than men do. Men often say that their intuition comes from a 'gut feeling.' Women are more likely to say, 'my heart told me.'
3. Intuition is the same as guessing or fast analysis.
While intuition is still a puzzle to scientist, researchers are beginning to discover that people really can know (not just guess) a lot at first glance. For example, recent 'thin slice' research finds that people can predict in just a few seconds of watching a teacher whether they will enjoy and value that teacher. These quick initial reactions generally closely match their teacher evaluations at the end of the course.
4. Intuition is always right.
While it is true that the purest intuitive experiences are correct, most of us have to learn to distinguish between pure intuition and wishful thinking or projected ideas about people and situations. We simply need experience before we can identify our pure intuition (almost all of us haven't had much schooling on the development of our intuition).
Remember also that our "logical" conclusions are not always right either.
Is there a difference between psychic and intuitive experiences?
Yes. Basically, psychic experiences are a subset of intuitive experiences.
Intuition describes a wide variety of ways you get information without using known logical or rational processes. Here are a few examples from the full spectrum of intuitive experiences:
|An aha! experience
|I intuit a creative solution
|An instinctive knowing
|My body intuits I need to do this
|In the zone experience
|Our team intuits what to do when
|A psychic experience
|I intuit what you are thinking
Psychic experiences are just one of the many ways some human beings intuit information and knowledge. And many intuitive people don't experience intuition in this way at all.
In her book, Hidden Channels of the Mind, Louise Rhine, the wife of famous Duke University parapsychologist J.B. Rhine, analyzed thousands of intuitive and psychic stories that the public sent to her. She noticed that the psychic experiences occur most frequently in emotional situations or where there are emotional connections.
How is intuition experienced in different parts of the world?
You can also get a fuller understanding of intuition by looking how it is experienced around the globe. Many cultures include intuition in their childhood education, healthcare, social interactions, ideas about death and the afterlife, and spiritual or spiritual traditions.
- North America. If you were a Native American Indian child, you would probably have been encouraged to seek out and speak with the spirits of plants, animals, mountains, rivers, and other parts of nature.
If you were a member of the Six Nation Confederacy or a member of the Iroquois tribe, you would believe that the tribe was one "long body." You would see the scouts your tribe sent out ahead of the rest of the tribe as acting like the tribe's eyes and ears and sending back intuitive pictures and sounds to tribal leaders just as your nerves send messages to your brain.
- Latin America. If you were raised in Brazil, you might seek the aid of a psychic surgeon when facing an illness. If you were a Mayan chosen to be a medicine person (shaman), you would receive an education that your culture respected just like Western cultures respect medical school.
- Asia. If you were raised in China, you might be taught to sense when you were vulnerable to illness so you could give yourself an acupuncture treatment (much as we take aspirin).
- Africa. If Kenya was your home, and you were raised in a traditional tribe, you might believe that people can control the moment of their death and can will themselves to die. Western suicides would look very strange, because as a traditional Kenyan asked, "Why do you have to hurt yourselves to die?"
Many people throughout the earth believe that their ancestors, who have died and entered the spirit world, can speak to them and guide their lives through dreams and visions. Can you imagine yourself being comfortable having inner conversations with the spirit of a beloved person who has died?
If you lived in one of these cultures, you might feel differently about intuition. You could speak about your intuitive experiences with other members of your culture as openly as you now speak about your ideas, opinions, and logical conclusions in Western cultures.
Is intuition related to spiritual experience?
Intuition is understood in many cultures as fundamental to religious and spiritual experience. Consider this: no one can point to God as a material object or describe the physical dimensions of prayer. Worship is inherently an intuitive experience, a spiritualized dialogue among people and what many call the divine.
However, it is important to remember that people who do not believe in God or aren't sure of God's existence can also have strong intuition but may experience it in different forms.
In summary
One helpful way to understand intuition is as direct knowing or an inner knowing without thinking it through.
Intuition describes a wide variety of ways you get information without using known logical or rational processes. All people have intuitive capabilities, but some might not be aware of them.
Intuition is experienced in different ways around the globe.

I made this as an alternative starter (for those who didn't want soup) on Xmas Eve, and everyone absolutely loved it! Husband and I also very much enjoyed munching on the left-overs the next day :-) I did, however, make my shortcrust pastry from scratch (I find this quite easy; not sure why it makes some people nervous?) and have 2 more batches of pastry in the freezer now for future tarts, quiches and pies. Brilliant recipe!
Not quite sure what she means in the first part:
Roll out the pastry and line a shallow 28cm flan tin. Trim off the edges, then line with baking paper and beans. Put on a baking sheet, bake for 10 mins. Remove the paper and beans, then bake for 5 mins more.
Am i trimming the edges of the pastry and putting baking paper on top of the pastry? and what is this about beans????
Can someone help me understand this part please!!

Remembering 'the other'May 27,2013Today is Memorial Day, a day that unites Americans in honoring those who gave their lives in defense of their country. But how many of us will pause to acknowledge the fact that among those we honor are some — nobody knows how many, of course — whose religious faith, sexual orientation, skin color and political persuasion may set them apart from us?
Many of these individuals we honor represent "the other." And around the world "the other" is too often distrusted, disliked and demonized. That was the case last week in London when two Muslim radicals butchered a British soldier as symbolic punishment (in their minds) for perceived crimes by the British military against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Here in the United States, the current political and cultural discourse is fraught with hostility toward "the other" as liberals and conservatives alike use inflammatory rhetoric to denounce their political rivals, as some religious figures condemn homosexuals and vigorously oppose any legalized protections in their favor, and as some in power seek to render workers' unions powerless to legally protect their own interests.
There's a tendency on occasions such as Memorial Day for all of us to believe that those we salute for their sacrifice were equals, but in fact the only equality they share is that they died, whether directly or indirectly, in the defense of their country.
It is proper, even essential, that their sacrifice be recognized, not just on this one day of the year but on every day we remain a free nation.
Flying the flag, making speeches and listening to patriotic music are not nearly enough. For various reasons — and in this day of the ubiquitous Internet, cable television, and the explosion of social media, our absolutely essential embrace of freedom of speech must share the responsibility — the United States appears, or at least acts, far less united today than it has at any time since perhaps the Civil War because, in a pluralistic society, it seems painfully obvious that we've become far less tolerant of those who are not like us.
And those unlike us are "the other." By no means is this apparently growing chasm unique to the United States. In fact, the chasm is and probably always has been much wider and deeper in other places. But wherever it occurs it is an example of the identical phenomenon: a dislike and a distrust of those who don't share our own beliefs and values and, too often, a reliance on violence rather than negotiation to settle differences.
Even in once-tranquil Sweden, riots have broken out and apparently the main cause has been the feeling, held by immigrants, that the native population has "marginalized" them to the point their frustrations have boiled over.
In Northern Ireland, a fragile peace is in place yet there's constant vigilance lest militants on either side of the Catholic-Protestant divide choose to once again redress their grievances with bullets and bombs. In Nigeria, in Egypt, in India, in Myanmar (Burma) and especially in Syria and its neighboring nations, "the other" is at risk of brutal annihilation at the hands of those who don't share their political, religious or ethnic values.
While this phenomenon is more potent elsewhere, it is nevertheless worrisome that while we believe our nation's freedoms are priceless and permanent, they're actually at risk as so many of us appear to resent "the other" for their cultural, social, ethnic and religious differences.
On Memorial Day, don't forget that even "the other" are Americans.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...
