Globally, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness. Modern cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the U.S. It is a painless and quick procedure performed in an ambulatory setting without any injections or stitches. At Benjamin Eye Institute, we provide our Los Angeles area clients with the most advanced technology and innovative techniques for treating cataract sufferers. Many people in California suffering with cataracts are unaware of their condition. Gradually, cataracts cloud the lens of the eye, and are usually undetected in the beginning stages. Initially, small changes in vision may occur, but typically vision changes aren't recognized until night vision begins to become compromised. Cataracts will gradually hamper your day-to-day activities, making it harder to do the simple things like read a paper or go to the movies.
Modern cataract surgery presents patients with an opportunity to simultaneously correct numerous vision problems, including astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness and presbyopia. Most recently the Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Care holds the promise of even greater safety and precision, while giving patients freedom from glasses for both distance and near vision for the rest of their lives. Fortunately, there are some wonderful options for those currently suffering from cataracts. Our team at Benjamin Eye Institute is eager to share the technological advances that are available, and we are committed to discussing all of your options with you in order to make the best decision possible for your lifestyle. Benjamin Eye Institute is recognized as a leading cataract surgery and care center in the Los Angeles area.
What is a Cataract?
Every normal, developed eye contains a crystalline lens. The lens is a clear organ made up of proteins. The crystalline lens is responsible for focusing images on the retina. It functions much like a lens in a camera that helps bring images to focus on the film. Over time, external environmental factors such as ultraviolet light, smoking, poor nutrition, radiation and/or chemotherapy cause the crystalline lens to become cloudy. The most common cause of cloudiness for the lens of the eye is the aging process. The clouding occurs due to denaturation of proteins that make up the lens. This process of clouding of the lens is irreversible, and is called cataract formation. As the cataract forms, the light entering the eye is scattered by the increasingly dense and cloudy lens, resulting in poor vision. Eye without a cataract: clear crystalline lens focuses light rays on the retina, resulting in a crisp clear image Eye with a cataract: clouded crystalline lens scatters the light rays resulting in a blurry, washed out imageCATARACT RELIEF

Who is at risk for developing cataracts?
The patients with the greatest risk of developing cataracts are individuals between the ages of 65 and 70. Up to 50% of individuals age 65 and over have visually significant cataracts that interfere with the activities of daily living. Patients who are on chronic steroid administration have undergone radiation or chemotherapy and patients who have had trauma are all at risk for developing cataracts at an even earlier age. Common cataract symptoms may include:
- Halos
- Glare
- Decrease of visual acuity
- Loss of color perception
- Loss of contrast sensitivity
- Sensitivity to light (photo-sensitivity)
Frequently, symptoms are manifested as difficulty seeing road signs, experiencing halos and glare from the oncoming traffic as well as difficulty reading and photosensitivity.
How is a cataract diagnosed?
The only way to properly diagnose a cataract is with a complete ophthalmic examination by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. These doctors use an instrument called a slit lamp to examine your eyes. The slit lamp is a microscope with specialized illumination that allows for a detailed examination of the inner and outer tissues of the eyes. If a cataract is diagnosed, Dr. Benjamin or your doctor may attempt to improve your vision with glasses and/or contact lenses. In cases when a cataract is significant and the vision is not correctable with glasses or contacts surgery may be recommended. If you do decide to proceed with cataract extraction you will need to consider some options on what kind of cataract care is best for you. You can learn about various treatment options in the Los Angeles area at the Benjamin Eye Institute. Patient being examined with slit lamp and slit lamp view of cataract
How is a cataract treated?
Modern cataract care presents the patient with a wide range of treatment options, which may include:
- FemtoSecond Laser Assisted Cataract Extraction
- ClearCorneal Phacoemulsification
- Astigmatism management
- Presbyopia Correcting IOL's
Learn more about various treatment options for cataracts. As a leading Los Angeles cataract surgery provider, Dr. Benjamin offers a wide range of premium IOLs to replace existing damaged lenses, including ReSTOR IOLs, Tecnis IOLs, Toric IOLs and Crystalens in Los Angeles.

The Mystery of Personality
€ 155,99
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Dezember 2011
BeschreibungIn The Mystery of Personality: A History of Psychodynamic Theories , acclaimed professor and historian Eugene Taylor synthesizes the field's first century and a half into a rich, highly readable account. Taylor situates the dynamic school in its catalytic place in history, re-evaluating misunderstood figures and events, re-creating the heady milieu of discovery as the concept of "mental science" dawns across Europe, revisiting the widening rift between clinical and experimental study (or the couch and the lab) as early psychology matured into legitimate science. Gradual but vital evolutions form the heart of this chronicle: the ebb and flow of analytic theory and practice, the shift from doctor-centered to client-centered therapy, the movement from exclusionary to multidisciplinary, the evolving role of the therapist. And as can be expected from the author, there is special emphasis on the sublime in psychology: the philosophy/psychology fusion of the New England transcendentalists, the battle between spiritualism and science in 1880s America, and early versions of today's spiritually-attuned therapies. Pivotal concepts and key individuals covered are: Charcot, Janet, and the origins of dynamic personality theory in the so-called French, Swiss, English, and American psychotherapeutic axis. Person and personality: William James's "radical empiricism" The rise of psychoanalysis: Freud, the Freudians, and the Neo-Freudians Adler and Jung, who were never "students" of Freud: Toward, within, and beyond the self Murray, Allport, and Lewin at Harvard in the 30s Culture and personality, pastoral counseling, and Gestalt Psychology in New York in the '40s and '50s An Existential-humanistic and Transpersonally oriented depth psychology in the 60s The current era: "science confronts itself", as neuroscience enters the picture. Students of psychology and its history will find in this inspiring narrative both possibilities for further study and a new appreciation of their own work. The Mystery of Personality: A History of Psychodynamic Theories is a stimulating course conducted by a master teacher.

PressestimmenFrom the reviews: "Taylor ... offers a comprehensive, compelling account of psychodynamic theories. ... the book reveals Taylor's talent for historical rendition as he describes and situates dynamic theory within the history of psychology and within a specific cultural epoch. ... Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (A. N. Douglas, Choice, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2009) "The Mystery of Personality: A History of Psychodynamic Theories is a historical treatment of 20th-century personality theory, the unconscious, and psychotherapy ... . a valuable encyclopedic resource for the history of Western psychotherapeutic and personality theory traditions. ... This ... work is a most welcome contribution. ... The Mystery of Personality is best suited to those psychologists and personality theorists who already know many of the facts and who are familiar with most of the characters and their stories." (Rachael I. Rosner, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 55 (18), May, 2010) "As a volume keen to detail the historical shifts in psychodynamic theory - and the place of psychodynamic theory in personality development - this author succeeds brilliantly. He outlines with extraordinary thoroughness the shifts over the past century or more ... . Historically interested parties will find much in this volume to enjoy and to learn. ... it will be of interest to the reader that attention is given by this author to the nature of how any theorist must approach his or her work ... ." (Rudy Oldeschulte, Metapsychology Online Reviews, Vol. 14 (43), October, 2010)

Pink All Around
30 September 2014
Excuse the creased shorts and focus on this very pink outfit. This is probably the first pink outfit I wear as I'm slowly adding the colour into my wardrobe. Big change I'd say. Not sure if it is too much? This shade doesn't make me feel like a Barbie but I do feel a lot more feminine. Powder, blush pink, is definitely a favourite now. The shorts are cute but they crease so easily even if I sit down for a few seconds. As long as no one is offended by it, it's ok! I have plenty of ideas on how to style it though.
"On Wednesdays, we wear pink." I couldn't resist posting a Mean Girls quote even if it's Tuesday today. Random thought, why can't I find 20 denier tights in store anywhere anymore? It's either 40 or 15... If you've seen any in store, please do let me know.

A Moving Target/
I finished a knitting project today. That's a long dry spell for finished projects considering I made Laura's sweater way back in May! It's a winter hat for Avery, and there are three or four other babies in my life who could use these for winter, so I may whip up some more. I am not crazy about the little elf point, so may do more rapid decreases at the very top of the hat next time. One of the many things I dig about Avery is his willingness to wear wool. Julian is very sensitive and not interested in even the softest Merino, but Avery can wear it all, and I was pleased, considering how nice and toasty this will be this winter. Here's a shot of the hat and Avery's round little head:
It's a tad snug, but with ties to tie under his chin, it will be just right. I think I did the decreases incorrectly, something about the "sl 1, k2tog tbl, psso" didn't work out quite right, but it looks ok, and as the post title suggests, Avery doesn't really stand around to allow close inspection! The yarn is natural Kraemer Yarn Jeannie that I hand dyed and the pattern is here. It's a great pattern, and so satisfying to begin and actually complete something! To get a photo, I enlisted Michael's help, and we bribed Avery with sweets. Here's what most of the photos looked like- blurry, happy, sticky baby!
Also moving on is my attention span- having trouble sticking with the rug! Now that it is getting bigger, it takes longer to go around the whole thing once, but It is coming along, I looped my way though a whole sheet and am currently looking for more material to rip into strips. There is a fabric store close by that has a table of fabric that is $1.00 a POUND- and I am thinking about checking out that place instead of messing around with the comparatively expensive sheets from Goodwill. I had the realization that Christmas is now less than 3 months away, and if I want to make gifts for everyone, I need to get crackin', so I am going to do some thinking about that this week.

What Are Your Kids Nicknames?
Yesterday afternoon,my family in Texas had a big BBQ at my parents house. Since we relocated to Kansas my parents decided to factime us while the whole family was there.During the course of the converstation, I had to laugh because if you were a stranger listening in on this conversation, you would think we were a weird family who gave our children really awful names...Names like "Blue", "Chili", "Bear", "Mijo", "Monk" etc..
My parents gave all 9 of their grandsons special nicknames when they were born and those name are the only names the boys will answer to when they are with their grandparents...haha
Do you or your kids have nicknames?
What are those nicknames and how did they get them?

Homes have been evacuated and roads closed on the southern tip of the island of El Hierro, in the Canary Islands, off the coast of Spain, as fears of a possible volcanic eruption grow.
El Hierro experienced two earth tremors last week, and volcanic material from undersea fissures was spotted floating off the coast. Seismic activity in the Canaries has been on the increase since July, with more than 10,000 tremors recorded in the past four months.

I hate to be the first to post here, because I found this article very informative, but just one minor observation: the Grand Canyon in the United States is not the longest or deepest canyon (or gorge) in the world, it is the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, in Tibet.
Really doesn't make a difference for anyone attempting to walk the canyon, but just maybe it will make walking it a bit easier knowing it is not the biggest!Mar 11, 2009 at 8:43 am #1484635

@prav66Locale: By the foothills of the Colorado Rockies
Colca Canyon in Peru is also larger, grander physically & in appearance.
At some point we have to get over some of the false marketing propping up our own backcountry. The world is much bigger than that. Being the biggest/grandest/baddest is totally unneccessary for an obvious national treasure.
The R2R2R sounds truly insane. I've read blogs of elite runners doing it within a day's window and the suffering it entails. Imagine what the rangers would think if you announced your plans on attempting it :)
Props to Skurka, I'll be curious to hear how the Canyon experience once more will feel at the end of his current epic hike.
I've found it took me about 3 days to really get a sense of time and scale in the canyon and let it all settle in a meaningful way.Mar 11, 2009 at 9:58 am #1484662

The trip is worth doing at a walk, too! I did a North Rim to South Rim backpack last June over 4 days. One advantage of going during such a hot time of year was the ability to travel with minimal gear. No sleeping bag, and I could have skipped the tent body except I wanted to keep the scorpions off me at night. Going as light as I did made it possible to thoroughly enjoy the trip where many of my group suffered blown knees, blisters, and black toe because they carried too much stuff. I got started with lightweight backpacking after Andy spoke to my hiking club at Honda during his C2C tour ( I was the one on crutches). So thank you , Andy, for getting me started on BPL, and making this "life list" trip possible!Mar 12, 2009 at 12:10 pm #1484989

Since the subject of Colca Canyon just came up. I just got back from a trip there and want to post this photo. Colca is not the deepest canyon in Peru that honor falls to the nearby Cotahuasi Canyon, which I unfortunately didn't get to visit on this trip.
I complete Roger's MYOG poncho specifically for this trip, even we were only trekking for a couple of days. It got good use across Peru as we were often jumping off buses in the pouring rain and hoofing it several blocks up to the hotel. I am looking forward to giving it a thorough testing this spring.Mar 12, 2009 at 4:55 pm #1485084

Nice article by Skurka. I've done a Double Crossing a few times and would agree, it's a fantastic experience. A few things I'd add:
-Going down the South Kaibab is really rough on the legs, moreso than either the North Kaibab or the Bright Angel. Down the BA and up the NK at the end is a nice way to go.
-Agree 100% on the trekking pole advice, though I'm pretty sure that Krupicka, Skaggs, and McKay power hike a bunch of the ascents.
-The Phantom Ranch store is open during lunch and dinner hours during the season and is a great place to get some chips and a Tecate before busting out the last ascent.
-DO it! it's fun!Mar 17, 2009 at 6:15 pm #1486508
BPL's timing in publishing this article is impeccable: I'm sitting at a computer on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and am planning to go RRR again tomorrow, which might be tough since this morning I finished my 800-mile trek from Arches and my legs will not be fresh.
Wish BPL had published those water charts though — that's critical info if you are running. BPL – Can those get posted? Let me know if you need me to resend them.
Re comments about superlatives used to describe the GC, you will notice that I did not say the "biggest" Big Ditch in the world — I just said the "grandest," which I understand that it is despite not having been to the others that are even bigger/deeper/wider, including the Snake River Canyon here in the US.Mar 19, 2009 at 12:25 pm #1487160

I wish I had seen this before my own run. Such detail in one place would have been a great resource.
I ran this on the 2007 winter solstice. My photos are here:
Grand Canyon Run Dec 2007
We ran from Bright Angel because we could run straight from the hotel without hassle (and more importantly return up the Bright Angel and be equally close to our room.)
It snowed about 6 inches on the South Rim the night before our run, so we got first tracks down the trail. Actually a coyote got first tracks, ours were merely the first human tracks. Going up the North Kaibab entailed post-holing in about a foot of snow.
We used Kahtoola microspikes to enable full running on the way down, but never used them after that.
The multiple water sources (natural and man-enhanced) make this whole thing possible with very little water on the back. We never carried more than two liters.
We didn't see anyone else except at Phantom Ranch and on the last part of Bright Angel on the way back. I guess that's the advantage to doing this on a snowy day.
It was fun…I highly recommend this endeavor.Mar 25, 2009 at 6:39 pm #1488849

Andrew, I am planning a double crossing for April 20th, what was the water situation on the NK, if you don't mind. Was the spigot on at the house??
Thanks!Mar 25, 2009 at 10:52 pm #1488893
You'll find water at the Colorado River (in several locations, near the BA CG, Phantom Ranch, etc.), all along North Kaibab Creek, at the ranger cottage, and perhaps from a spring/waterfall that's about 3.5 miles below the North Rim, near the top of the Redwall. Lots of water this time of year. Not sure when the spigot at Cottonwood CG gets turned on — they'll know that info at the BIC.Mar 26, 2009 at 3:41 pm #1489068

@gosonjaLocale: The Front Range
Thanks Andrew! I called the office and they said May 15th on the Cottonwood Campground faucet. I just wondered if the ranger house spigot happened to be on when you were there a few days ago.
I'm getting really excited for the trip and enjoyed reading your blog. What an awesome adventure you have recently completed!!Oct 9, 2009 at 9:53 am #1534672

Actually the deepest canyon is the Colca Canyon-Arequipa-Peru, I was there last year in my Peru vacation (www.totallyperu.com), and I must say it was a great experience, I loved it!
When you are there you can see clearly that it is the deepest canyon in the world and the people who live there are so proud of their Canyon that they even made a song that I can't remember right now…
try to upload a photo of when I was there but I'm not very good with this and my daughter isn't around here, I hope I have cleared some of your doubts!

I don't know what Beck's wife's name is, I tried researching but can up with squat so I just made one up, it sounded right.
Jericho Fanfiction
Part 2 - Mirage
3AM, Monday Morning
"How long Jewel? How long have I been stuck here? I don't even know any more."
"Don't worry baby, it won't be much longer, they're coming for you."
"I don't know how much longer I can last."
Beck was in his backyard last summer. It's a beautiful day and he's with his family on leave.
Except they're not having the same conversation, they've never talked about anything like this before, He hadn't even seen her for over 8 months, his mind was constructing and adapting an old memory.
Beck knew why, his wife always knew what to say to give him strength and right now, he needed it more than ever so his mind was making her say what he needed to hear.
"You'll make it honey, just remember, I'm always with you, in there." She pointed to his chest as everything went bright and he came back to consciousness.
"Welcome back Major. You were miles away there."
He was picked up from the hard cold floor and the gag was pulled roughly off. A man sat backward on a chair in front of him, he meant business.
The man produced a hand radio and put it in front of Beck's face.
"Call them off, tell your men to leave me and my business alone and I'll let you go , simple as that."
Beck stared plainly at his captor. "No." He answered defiantly.
The next thing Beck knew was the searing pain in his jaw as the man hit it with the radio. He's on the floor now and it's a free-for-all between the other guys in the room.
He tried to curl up to protect himself as much as possible but they're all around him, beating him from all sides.
The leader, standing at the doorway, gave a signal and they back away.
Beck took a breath and looked at him.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Jonah Prowse." He says and leaves the room, having said all he needed to.
Some of the guys take a couple more swings at him but soon get bored and leave. And Beck is left alone again.

Is there more of an unhinged tooth-ache and loon in the national discourse than Lawrence "Howling Mad" O'Donnell?
He makes Chris Matthews look stable.
This is the socialist putz who berated the late Cathy Siepp - then dying of lung cancer - for insulting teachers and who had to be walked off the set for calling a Vietnam Veteran "creepy" for objecting to John Kerry's smear of Vietnam Veterans as war criminals.
Here is showing that pansy I'm tough bluster thing concerning Mitt Romney's son.
What a punk.
Here's the tough guy trying to display toughness to intimidate Cathy Siepp half his size:
And her blog of the encounter.
What is it with these Liberal Irish fake and former Catholics and their need to display faux-toughness? My old man was authentic Irish Catholic from Brooklyn, and a former Chief Petty Officer, and he was tough and he never had to talk about his toughness in order to intimidate the panty-waste liberal teachers he worked with after he retired from the Navy.
They knew better than to even think about getting physical with him.
And Siepp nails his posturing as "Boston Brahmin/faux populist asshole."
And a little research nails the fact about these wanna-be tough guys. He didn't grow up on the mean streets of Boston; he went to a private Catholic all-boy prep school, his father was an attorney, and O'Donnell went to Harvard.
He's all about playing a role he never lived.

Mount Sinai Hospital Center, Montreal, QC, Canada
In chronic respiratory disease pulmonary rehabilitation provides benefits for some but not all participants. The aim of this study was to identify subjects who benefitted from out-patient pulmonary rehabilitation and determine what characteristics could explain differences between responders and non-responders.
A chart review was performed on all candidates for out-patient pulmonary rehabilitation during 2000–2008. Patient data was collected for those who were evaluated for the program, participated, declined, or were denied enrolment or who were lost to follow-up. Success was defined by clinically important change in the St. George's respiratory questionnaire and/or in the 6-minute walk distance.
Of 525 patients evaluated for out-patient pulmonary rehabilitation, 227(43%) participated. Participants were primarily men (56 %) with a mean age of 69(10) years. Of those who participated 137 (61%) were successful. Successful participants had greater forced expired volume in 1 second (FEV1) (1.3 vs 1.1 L) (p < 0.05) and body mass index (BMI) at baseline (30 vs 28) (p < 0.05). There was no relationship with age, gender, chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure or other chronic conditions such as stable heart disease. Successful participants were more likely to be adherent and experience fewer adverse events (p≤0.001). There was no correlation between BMI, FEV1 and adverse events or failure to complete the program.
This study reinforces that the majority of participants benefit from out-patient pulmonary rehabilitation and that few commonly measured baseline characteristics can predict success. However our study confirmed that many patients considered in need of pulmonary rehabilitation do not enter the program, suggesting that more effort should be made to encourage and facilitate participation.
Pulmonary rehabilitation has proven to be a successful intervention for various respiratory illnesses and should be made available to more patients within our respective health care communities.

A Little Chat
By the time they'd had their fill, Hiro had an entire stock of things to discuss, and the boys took to walking the ramparts in their conversations.
"I still can't believe that mother hasn't started trying to have me betrothed. By the time Govo was my age he'd already been promised to the youngest Madiss, and Brin had the Hearteye, and even Elis was gifted to a Deluge. You know, at this rate I might have to make do with the other Hattery girl! There'll be nothing left of note by the time it comes my turn, and mother will be quite disappointed. I'm sure she means to take over High block via marriage, banding together all those of our social class."
"We're not even of marriageable age," Pine furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't see what's so great about it anyway, you'll just have a girl to feed and take care of. Why have a girl, who does near nothing I say until…you know, you have your own house…when you can simply have a servant? They're just as well to talk to and for company, and in fact you have no obligations to your servants…and they don't need pretty things to keep them busy or…"
"So simple minded!" Hiro wrinkled his nose. "Don't you realize that with wife you have a companion for more than just conversing? Come, Pine, don't tell me that they don't interest you."
"I don't see the appeal," Pine blushed.
"A lie!" Hiro poked at Pine's ribs. "I'm sure there's a girl that interestsyou…" he then leaned in closer, "If I must tell, I do have a rather fondness of Celaya Jorbicke." He assumed his normal posture with a sigh just then, "but of course, mother would never want to pursue her for me, as her father doesn't even work within the palace. I'm fairly sure that her only reason for being in high block is some small royal connection on the mother's side… What a shame, she is quite beautiful."
"As well as being three years our senior," Pine stuck out his tongue. "She'd be so old by the time you're right to marry."
"Only three years, friend, and that's not long at all."
"Is there any possibility of pursuing a different topic?" Pine grumbled.
"But why? I'm sure there's something that you'd like to confess to me! It's been near a week since we last spoke, I'm sure that your heart's been aching to seesomeonespecial."
"I'm fairly sure you're the only friend worth note!"
"I'm flattered."
"You should be. Now, get it through that skull of yours that I'm wholly uninterested. Whoever I marry will be whoever is best for the family. That's what it always is," Pine shook his head.
"I've heard that outside high block,noneof the marriages are pre-determined."
"None?" Pine raised his eyebrows. "How strange."
"Well, it beats waiting for the correct girl to show up. Mother told me that ever since King Mederan took the throne, there have been rifts growing deeper and deeper between all the royal factions, and that's why birth betrothals have lost so much favor! You can't tell if you'll still be friends in 16 years… Which is why they wait, I suppose."
"I could ask my mother about it. Knowing her, she's already worked out a deal and won't tell me about it until the day of my wedding."
"If there are any decent girls left," Hiro pouted. "Though, I guess there are a few that they keep locked away nowadays. Your neighbor is something to look at."
"Though according to your tales, she must be quite the handful."
The boys stopped at a particular balustrade and made their way back down to the gardens. The pair made straight for the dessert tables and had soon spirited away an entire pie to share in secrecy.

Looking for a Job?
Good news if you're looking for a job. A Tri-County Job Fair tomorrow will bring together more than 70 employers who are looking to hire.
From the CHP to Caltrans, Hyatt Regency to VSP, FED EX and Patelco -- dozens of employers will be part of the job fair.
The fair will bring together El Dorado County, Placer County, and Golden Sierra but it is open to all job-seekers in the region.
Bill Grimaldi with the Sacramento County Job Link Program says to check out the website in advance at tricountyjobfair.org.
"What you more want to do, is for example, check out the list of employers and then look at what jobs those employers have and be prepared to actually talk to them about the jobs they have and the job that you're interested in," Grimaldi said. "Then the employer is going to coach you on what they want you to do, and as strange as it sounds, do what they tell you to do the way that they tell you to do it. It actually gets their attention more."
The Tri-County Job Fair is tomorrow at the Folsom Community Center on Natoma Street from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and it's free.

Beyer Speed Figure
The Beyer Speed Figure is a system for rating the performance of Thoroughbred racehorses in North America designed in the early 1970s by Andrew Beyer, the syndicated horse racing columnist for The Washington Post. First published in book form in 1975, by 1992 the Daily Racing Form began incorporating Beyer Speed Figures in a horse's past performances and the system has evolved to where today each performance by every horse is given a Beyer number which reflects the time of the race and the inherent speed of the track over which it was run. On the Beyer scale, the top stakes horses in the United States and Canada earn numbers in the 100's, while extremely strong performances may rate as high as the 120's. In Europe, Timeform has a different set up that yields a different rating number. The popular rule of thumb for a rough equivalent of the Timeform score is to deduct 12-14 points to achieve the Beyer figure.
In 2004, Ghostzapper earned the high Beyer Speed Figure at 128. In the July 5, 2005 Hollywood Gold Cup, Lava Man turned in a speed figure of 120. Bordonaro earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 119 in winning the 2006 Ancient Title Handicap which was the highest number assigned to any North American horse in 2006. But it was Groovy, the 1987 American Champion Sprint Horse who won the highest figure of all, over 130, earning 131 & 134 back-to-back in the Roseben and True North Handicaps at six furlongs in 1987, a record that is still unbeaten. [1]
In 2007 the highest Beyers Speed Figure was 124 assigned to Midnight Lute in the 7 furlong Forego Handicap at Saratoga Race Course.
In the 2008 Whitney Handicap, Commentator scored a 120 Beyer. Over his career he has earned Beyers of 119, 121, and 123. Andy Beyer said he can't recall a 7-year-old getting that high a number.
Beyer calculated that had the Beyer Speed Figure calculation existed during the proper time frame, Secretariat would have earned a figure of 139 for his 1973 win at the Belmont Stakes. [2]

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2013
About the owner: My husband and I visited Apalachicola in June of 2013 and stayed at the loft; we have been searching for the quintessential Southern town – unspoiled by high-rise condos and chains – we found it in Apalach. We loved Apalach and the loft so much, we leapt at the chance to become the new owners and plan to continue to share the loft with visitors when we are not there. The former owner is an artist and business woman who expertly renovated the space into the lovely loft you see pictured on the web site. With its exposed brick inside, expansive Cypress woodwork and airy high ceilings, the loft is a welcoming haven for visitors.

First in the Seven Days of Timmy 's Snow White
Short Story by: Wilbur
Status: Finished
Genre: Literary Fiction
The Seven Days of Timmy's Snow White
SATURDAY (the Plan)
Timmy lay on his bed, his toes wriggling, free of socks or shoes, his feet propped on his pillow, his head at the other end of the bed, his arms behind his head, hands cupping his head. He was gazing at the pictures on his wall. The green with gold-spots caterpillar he adores, the camel - a photo Sascha, the school crossing guard and his good friend (she said so!) gave him -- that kinda fascinates him, and the new one - a picture of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs his brother found on the computer and printed out for himself. He only made Timmy a copy when he saw his Mom look at him hard. Now Timmy has it up on the wall where he can look at it any time he wants. From his most favorite position. Which is where he is right now.
Timmy's whole family watched the movie last night. His Dad had got it for them at the store when he was on the way home from work. Friday night movies. And Timmy LOVED the movie. It had all good stuff in it. Timmy could lie here and play it over in his mind. It was so cool! He loved Snow White. She was so pretty. And that mean one, looking in the mirror, with the poison apple. Wow! The prince was okay. He guessed. He woke up Snow White from sleeping in that glass box the dwarfs made it. His Mom called it a coughin'. She dint usally do that. Say things like laffin' or lookin' or goin'. But he knows he can't figure out that stuff out so he doesn't try.
The dwarfs, now. His Dad said to say it, "duh-warfs." His Dad had wrote Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the top of his picture, so he could see it up there. He dint really read yet. Simple words. Some, anyway. But he wanted to remember the dwarfs. They were GREAT. He LOVED them. His toes wiggled back and forth and stretched apart. Timmy liked doing that when he felt like giggling instead of giggling. Like his toes were giggling for him.
Then his toes stopped still. Timmy did too. He was so caught up in what he was thinking, he didn't hear his brother coming in and wasn't aware of his brother staring at him. Was way off in his imagination when his brother jumped on the bed, making it bounce and Timmy bounce too. Hard. He'd been so surprised he choked on his spit and had to have bangs on his back to help him breathe again.
His brother din't know what to do. But his Mom did. She'd been coming in to put away clean underwear when she saw his brother jump and land and she was going to scold him for jumping but had to help Timmy catch his breath instead.All the clean underwear went on the rug where she dropped it. His brother had picked it all up, re-folded it, and put it away while Timmy's Mom was banging on his back and making his cough so he could breathe. His brother did all that stuff with the underwear 'cuz he was really scared.
When Timmy could breathe again he was so relieved and glad he couldn't be mad. So he said that he wasn't mad, could they both just have some milk and cookies now. His mother tch-tch-ed a lot. But then she said she s'posed his brother being that scared was punishment enough. So they all went downstairs. Where she poured them each a cold glass of milk and put out a plate of her special molasses cookies. Timmy's brother was on what his Mom called, "his good behavior," and he even offered to let Timmy have the third cookie all to himself. But Timmy couldn't eat that much. They were way big cookies and he'd just had lunch. Instead, first he offered half to his Mom, but she'd said no, thank you sweetie, and ruffled his hair, so then he pushed it over to his brother and said he could have it all for himself, 'cuz after all he was the bigger boy. And his brother din't even make fun of him or be rude when he accepted it and instead simply said thank you. So then they were good friends. For the moment, anyway.
It wasn't until that evening, when Timmy'd had his bath and before his Dad came up to read to him, that he could settle back in his favorite position and gaze at the picture again. It would be Sunday tomorrow and he had a Plan. One that made him giggle even as his toes were fanning out and wiggling back and forth, so that both he and they were expressing his delight. It was a way cool secret and Timmy was so proud and pleased with himself he could just about burst. But then his Dad had come in and said he had a new book they were going to start, all about a chipmunk and a skunk who become very best friends. So Timmy let his secret go for the time being. But only after making sure it was tucked away in a very safe place in his memory. Where he could think about it again before he went to sleep.

Moonphish beat me to the toes thing, truly wonderful, toes giggling! You certainly do put the reader in the eyes of a young boy, a lovely read Wilbur
Is that apple pie I smell?
Warmly yours
Thanks Dibs. Just left you a head's up but guess you didn't need it. There's more to come. In fact, the second one is already posted. Plan to put one up for the next several days. Thanks for the read and the kind comment. All best, Wilbur
Wilbur, you certainly have a knack for weaving a spellbinding story; this is great, and if I didn't know I was 49, I'd swear I was 10 again!
I love Timmy. And yes, the description of the toes made me smile. I love little kid feet! So excited to read the rest! You hooked me right away! :)
80! Happy birthday! I am in awe of you being so young at heart, where it counts. Fantastic story, on to Sunday.
Thank you so very much. Excellent genes so I'm blessed with excellent health -- which is no doubt why and how I can be so happy and so mellow at age 80. The sheer number causes me awe.
As for Timmy and his Seven Days - glad you like it. Thanks, always, for your support and kindness.
All best, Wilbur

|We're strolling The Book Beach on this August Morning,
and look what's washed ashore:
a heap of page-turning historical fiction!
Music, Magic, and Miracles: Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan (585 pages, RL 5.3). Lost and alone in the gloomy Black Forest, Otto meets three mysterious sisters and is drawn into a quest involving a prophecy, a promise, and a harmonica. Many years later, Friedrich in Germany, Mike in Pennsylvania, and Ivy in California find their destinies connected to the same harmonica as they struggle to rescue a father, protect a brother, and hold a family together during difficult times.
Fourth Grade Language Arts teacher Mr. Cleary offers a rave review: "A terrific three-part tale, Echo takes the reader through three different time periods, capturing our interest with its fascinating main characters. Centered around the theme of overcoming adversity through music, Echo is beautifully written, describing the impact of how a single tune from a simple instrument can change everything."
Mr. Cleary treats us to a single, simple tune on the harmonica.
More Munoz Ryan: Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan (262 pages, RL 6.2). Esperanza can't imagine living anywhere other than El Rancho de las Rosas. She has spent the first twelve years of her life as the pampered only child from a wealthy family in Aguascalientes, Mexico. When Papi is murdered, Esperanza and her mother flee their privileged life to find work at a Southern California farm camp, where they experience hardship, discrimination, and harsh working conditions of the eve of the Great Depression.
|For uplifting summer reading, Library Media Specialist Mrs. Cifrodella suggests Esperanza Rising.
|I like to... go to sailing camp. --Emerson
Danger and Drama... Iron Thunder: The Battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac: A Civil War Novel by Avi (203 pages, RL 4.3). After his father is killed fighting for the Union, thirteen-year-old Tom Carroll takes his place as head of the family. He finds work at the ironworks in his Brooklyn, New York, hometown, where dozens of men are pounding together the most extraordinary ship Tom has ever seen—a vessel made of iron, a boat meant to battle the Confederacy's ironclad monster, the Merrimac. Tom becomes assistant to the ship's gruff inventor, and he soon finds himself caught between two dangerous possibilities... a showdown with murderous Confederate spies and an ironclad battle at sea.
|Lafayette Readers Get into Historical Fiction!
|I like to... sail. -- Declan
Inspired by Real-Life Events: An Elephant in the Garden by Michael Morpurgo (199 pages, RL 4.9). In World War II Dresden, Germany, Lizzie and Karl's mother Mutti works at a local zoo while their father fights in France. The family becomes attached to an orphaned elephant named Marlene, who is slated to be destroyed so she and other animals don't run wild should the zoo be bombed. The family takes Marlene into their garden for protection. When the city comes under air attack, the family flees with thousands of others... but how can they travel safely with a baby elephant in tow?
Fifth grade Language Arts Teacher Mrs. Worden recommends An Elephant in the Garden. "I am nuts about elephants! I love to read about these gentle giants," she explains. "This book is inspired by true events, and it is a story of companionship in the face of danger and World War II."
Courageous Historical Fiction: The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine (298 pages, RL 3.9). In 1958 Arkansas, twelve-year-old Marlee befriends new girl Liz. When Marlee's bright, bold, and brave friend suddenly stops attending middle school—and rumors fly that Liz is an African –American passing herself off as white—the two girls must confront prejudice, integration, and the dangers that their continuing friendship could bring to their families.
|Library Aide Mrs. LaChance thinks The Lions of Little Rock... rocks!

The engine starts up
We speed down the runway
We're up in the air!
Rivers, too.
Wispy milk clouds
Coat the sky
Small houses fill the land
A boat tugs through the royal water
Then clouds sweep the view
Clouds shadow the water and islands spot down there, too.

Spitting Daggers
By Sparrow and the Workshop
Vocalist Belfast born, Chicago-raised Jill O'Sullivan belts out a distinctively strong sound, with a very slight Dolly Parton twang. Sparrow and the Workshop are hot on the 6 music playlist and "Spitting Daggers" is the three piece band's 3rd album, the debut single being the punchy "Snakes in the Grass", sure to be a summer hit. The album kicks off with "Pact to Stay Cold" and is smattered with tasty country-folky-poprock tracks such as the title track "Spitting Daggers", "Our Lady of the Potatoes" and the beautiful "Soft Sound of Your Voice". The band apparently wrote the album between tours. They have been busy bees supporting Idlewild and The Pogues in 2010 and are touring in May and June of this year, a definite go see.

A schoolboy has died after being hit by a bus during the morning rush hour in north London.
The 13-year-old victim was knocked down in Fore Street, Edmonton, just after 8am.
Paramedics battled to save his life but he was pronounced dead at hospital about half an hour later.
His next of kin have been told but he has not been identified by police.
The bus driver was not arrested in connection with the accident, police said.
The road was closed southbound from the North Circular to Cowper Road while police investigated.
Scotland Yard said its officers were called to reports of a collision between a child and a bus just after 8.20am.
A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called at 8.14am to reports of a road traffic collision, involving a bus and a pedestrian on Fore Street.
"We sent a number of resources to the scene, including a medical team from London's Air Ambulance by car, and we arrived in under two minutes.
"Sadly, despite extensive efforts to resuscitate the patient, a boy was pronounced dead by the doctor from London's Air Ambulance."
Detectives are appealing for witnesses to speak to them.
Anyone with information can contact the Met's Serious Collision Investigation Unit at Chadwell Heath on 020 8597 4874.
