Vicar of Dibley joins charity drive
The Vicar Of Dibley is to return to TV screens for a one-off comeback which will feature Homeland star Damian Lewis as a man of the cloth.
Dawn French will star in a new sketch to be screened during Comic Relief, reviving her role of Geraldine Granger as the cast are reunited for the first time in seven years.
She will also be delivering Radio 2's daily Pause For Thought religious slot as the character during the Chris Evans breakfast show earlier in the day.
The new 10-minute Vicar Of Dibley sketch, written by Richard Curtis, is to be screened during BBC1's Comic Relief - Funny For Money broadcast on Friday.
It sees Geraldine and her parishioners - including regular faces such as actors James Fleet (who plays Hugo Horton) and Roger Lloyd-Pack (Owen Newitt) - heading to London on a mission, where they meet a charming vicar played by Lewis.
Dawn said: "It's the first time we've been together for ages, so everyone can witness the rapid deterioration of us all - since we last saw the Vicar and her parish members, the astonishing and shocking amount of decay is alarming.
"I don't want to give too much away about the sketch but the Vicar heads up the fight for equality in church law."
Damian said: "Richard Curtis has done a brilliant thing in getting all the cast back together. It's very funny and anyone who loves the Vicar Of Dibley is just going to have a riot with this."

Increased Mortality After Dronedarone Therapy for Severe Heart Failure - ANDROMEDA
Patients with heart failure have higher mortality and morbidity with atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Dronedarone, a newer antiarrhythmic drug, is similar to amiodarone, and has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), without an observed proarrhythmic effect. Accordingly, the goal of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy of dronedarone in reducing hospitalization due to congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients with symptomatic heart failure.

A staff featuring two carved human faces has been found at Tell Qarassa in southern Syria.
The roughly 9,000-year-old artifact was discovered near a graveyard where about 30 people were buried without their heads — which were found in a nearby living space.
"The find is very unusual. It's unique," said study co-author Frank Braemer, an archaeologist at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France.
The wand, which was likely used in a long-lost funeral ritual, is one of the only naturalistic depictions of human faces from this time and place, Braemer said.

We were attacked, and in some cases with deadly intent
Belfast-born NIO minister Brian Mawhinney faced down unionist violence and intimidation in the wake of the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement
The second half of my ministerial service in Northern Ireland focused on trying to re-establish 'normal' political dialogue, which had collapsed following the signing of the Anglo-Irish Agreement.
Unionists were genuinely angry with an agreement that had been negotiated over their heads and, on the day it was signed, Hillsborough was 'invaded' by unionists.
Amid the protesters' noise, the Rev Ian Paisley's booming voice stood out. He had not seen the agreement, but was irrevocably opposed to it, anyway.
Years later, Margaret Thatcher made clear her reservations about the agreement. Apparently, she thought it owed its existence more to Foreign Office influence than it did to No 10. Still, she signed it.
Unionist MPs projected their anger against the agreement by refusing contact with Northern Ireland ministers and by resigning their parliamentary seats, thereby forcing a popular judgment on the hated agreement.
But some rank-and-file so-called unionists were out of control. We were attacked physically, as well as verbally – in some cases with what appeared to be deadly intent.
I do not exaggerate. An attack on Tom King finished up as a court case. The only reason others did not was ministerial restraint and forbearance.
The worst attack on me occurred at the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle. I had been invited to attend a teachers' union annual conference to give the keynote address.
But my proposed presence was leaked and a large and aggressive crowd gathered round the gate to welcome me.
As we walked the last 50 yards to the door, they broke through a police cordon and charged up the drive to get me, armed with pieces of wood, hockey sticks and, bizarrely for unionists, hurling sticks.
I absolutely refused to run for the shelter of the hotel door. So TV viewers saw what to them should have been the alarming sight of armed men and women intent on braining a Government minister. It was very ugly and, truth to tell, frightening.
For many months after the signing of the agreement, ministers' travel around the province was difficult and dangerous. On occasions, the police advised us not to cross protest lines.
Sometimes we took their advice. More often we insisted on fulfilling our engagements. One particular incident illustrates this attitude.
It was not the most dangerous evening in the protest, but, because it involved my family, it was the nastiest. My contempt for those involved remains undiluted.
One Friday evening, after I had completed ministerial business, my wife, our children, my elderly widowed mother and I went to see a musical at a theatre in Belfast.
During the interval, my Special Branch officers warned me that a few members of the audience had recognised me and were planning a demonstration.
No sooner had they done so than a couple of 'upright' citizens came over and offensively remonstrated with me about the agreement. When we returned to our seats, a few people stood up and, in loud voices, denounced me and the agreement and shouted that I should leave. I ignored them.
Towards the end of the show, my minders warned me that, during the interval, someone in the audience had rung a local radio station, told them where I was and was encouraging unionists to come down to demonstrate; to tell me I was not welcome in my home country. As if I would be cowed by their intimidation.
The Special Branch officers suggested that we leave the theatre early. I refused. I knew the family were enjoying the show. More important, I was not willing to create the public impression of running in the face of bullying.
However, in a compromise to ease the pressure on the family and the police, I did agree that we should move as soon as the audience stood to applaud the actors.
Outside there was quite a large howling and jeering mob being held back by police. Their language was at times foul, though fitting for the mindset of people who would threaten an old-age pensioner and young children.
Normal police procedure was that minders ensured the safety of their 'principal' by getting the minister into the car first. For the only time in my six-plus years in Northern Ireland, I broke that rule.
I saw my wife and one of the children into our car, then escorted the other two children plus my mother to theirs. In this small way I showed my contempt for the crowd.
Not all the pressure on ministers was of the mob variety, however. Sometimes, the offensive protest was personally delivered.
My diary for my third day in the province provided the unionist leadership with its first opportunity for an attack against the agreement – this time for the benefit of TV cameras.
I was scheduled to speak at a European Union event at Queen's University. Initially, everything was calm and those present were welcoming.
Then the Rev Ian Paisley and John Taylor made their grand entrance. They had been invited, as this was a European event and they were both MEPs.
The drama of the moment required confrontation, so eventually they headed in my direction. John left most of the talking to Ian – not that he had much choice.
Ian berated me for agreeing to join this terrible government and for betraying my fellow countrymen. He told me that I was worse than all the other ministers because, being from the province, I should have known better.
I determined to present a contrast to Ian, so I smiled warmly into the TV camera and said simply, "It is good to be home." That was all.
But the effect was electric and the response of the guests enthusiastic. That short sentence did me – and the government – more good than would have been generated by the winning of months of argument.
It was the first high-profile clash between a minister and the re-elected leaders of unionism.
And it set the tone for all-too-many months of useless confrontation.

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a legal contract between an electricity generator and a power purchaser. The power purchaser purchases energy, and sometimes also capacity and/or ancillary services, from the electricity generator. Such agreements play a key role in the financing of independently owned (i.e. not owned by a utility) electricity generating assets.
The seller under the PPA is typically an independent power producer, or "IPP." Energy sales by regulated utilities are typically highly regulated, so that no PPA is required or appropriate.
The PPA is often regarded as the central document in the development of independent electricity generating assets (power plants), and is a key to obtaining project financing for the project.
Under the PPA model, the PPA provider would secure funding for the project, maintain and monitor the energy production, and sell the electricity to the host at a contractual price for the term of the contract. The term of a PPA generally lasts between 5 and 25 years. In some renewable energy contracts, the host has the option to purchase the generating equipment from the PPA provider at the end of the term, or may renew the contract with different terms, or can request that the equipment be removed.
One of the key benefits of the PPA is that by clearly defining the output of the generating assets (such as a solar electric system) and the credit of its associated revenue streams, a PPA can be used by the PPA provider to raise non-recourse financing from a bank or other financing counter-party.
Commercial PPA providers can enable businesses, schools, governments, and utilities to benefit from predictable, renewable energy.
In the United States, the solar power purchase agreement (SPPA) depends heavily on the existence of the solar investment tax credit, which was extended for eight years under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.

A Florida wildfire has grown but a major interstate highway remains open through the mainly rural area that is burning on the state's central Atlantic coast.
County officials say the blaze was 25 percent contained as of early Wednesday after some rain. Firefighters continued to battle the wildfire that has burned 16,000 acres, or about 25 square miles, up from 10,000 acres a day earlier.
Smoke and flames closed a stretch of Interstate 95 and US Highway 1 in Brevard County late Monday until Tuesday morning. The highways remained open Wednesday.
The blaze has destroyed a mobile home and two hunting camps. It started Monday about 25 miles north of the Kennedy Space Center, and across the Intracoastal Waterway from Cape Canaveral. NASA says it is not threatening operations there.

-Low energy costs
Solar powered lamps generate light at 0% cost to the consumer.
-Low maintenance
These lamps were designed with quality in mind, translating into durability and low maintenance after installation.
-No emissions
Perhaps the greatest benefit of solar lighting are its positive effects on the environment, providing a free source of energy which does not contribute to global warming.
-Renewable resource
Solar power is an important source of renewable energy. Other energy sources such as coal and oil have finite supplies. Yet the sun will keep on shining potentially beyond human existence.
With solar lighting, there is no risk of electrocution and the lamps are cool to the touch, making them safe for children and pets.
-Power outage
Not being connected to an electrical grid means that these lights will continue to work even if there has been a power outage.
You can install SELS solar lighting in all areas of your property, reducing the need for electrical wiring, and creating a greener, cheaper and more practical alternative. These lamps are great for all your different projects whether it be residential or commercial, parks and recreation, farmland or wherever else you might need a light pole.
-Easy Installation
All of our Solar Lights were designed with our customers in mind, making installation a breeze. All you need is a base to install your light, and the rest is straight forward. No need for trenching or wiring costs.
-Lifespan of Lights
Conventional lights have an average lifespan of 3,000 hours. The total life of a Solar Street Light using an LED lamp creates a lifespan of around 10 TIMES that of a conventional light.

Last Time: I retired to the countryside with my wife, retainers, and small child who whined about mud-crabs and chores. Read it here.
This Time: I trek around Haafingar Hold, and explore the top ten locations every adventurer should seek out. Numbers 10 – 6 are detailed here:
Haafingar Hold: A sunrise over the majestic arch of Solitude, with the sea mist still shrouding the mouth of Karth River.
Exploration. That's the key to months of entertaining wandering through the realms of Skyrim. You might think you've been everywhere, stabbed every Bandit, and slapped around every haughty High Elf. But there are strange, out-of-the-way places that few explorers have found. Or, there are barrows teeming with creatures to batter and characters to better. Over the next few blog posts, I'll wander through each of Skyrim's provinces, and list my favorite locations. Let's start in the bleak northwest hold of Haafingar.
Aside from the towering majesty of Solitude, and the scattered buildings along the Karth River to the southwest that serve the Capital, Haafingar is a hold of fortifications and numerous caves weaving deep into the granite foothills and mountainous terrain that the Hold is famous for. Expect smuggling bolt-holes along the coast, and a strong Thalmor presence; their embassy is atop the mountain to the northwest of Solitude. There are two large forts -- Northwatch Keep and Fort Hraggstad -- where a large number of foes may be faced. And you haven't fully experienced Haafingar until you've seen the majesty of the Statue of Meridia and the light of Kilkreath Ruins….
#10: Northwatch Keep
It wouldn't be right to have a list of locations and not mention the fortification that serves as this blog's name. The rude, but well-equipped Thalmor have taken to the battlements here. Side Quest: Missing in Action culminates here, with a thrilling romp to rescue Thorald Gray-Mane from their clutches. The interior chambers are musty but not too confusing, and there's much to keep the elf-hater, or battle-hardy warrior happy.
#9: Volskygge
A Dragon Priest Lair buried at the bottom of a lengthy Draugr tomb, Volskygge requires some serious planning and inventory management before it's recommended you explore these depths. Volsung is a nasty piece of work, and there are plenty of traps to dodge. But it's the epic battle on the exterior peaks with Volsung, and the subsequent Whirlwind Sprint word of power you can obtain, that makes this hard-fought dungeon crawl worthwhile.
#8: The Steed Stone
One of the 13 standing stones of Skyrim, scale Haafingar's snowcapped central mountains to discover an ancient stone with curious markings. Inspect it to gain the stones' power; you can carry more and don't suffer a movement penalty for armor. Watch for annoying Bandit incursions from the nearby Ironback Hideout, but if gathering supplies without slowing to a crawl is part of your planning, be certain to mosey on over to this lump of rock.
#7: Statue to Meridia and Kilkreath Ruins
Located atop Mount Kilkreath near the heart of Haafingar, a majestic statue stands at the top of an ancient, defiled set of ruins. When you discover Meridia's Beacon (which randomly appears in treasure chests), you are drawn here, and a vertigo-inducing chat with the Daedric entity this shrine was built for. The actual trek involves aligning her light again, and defeating a host of Corrupted Shades; a very infrequently-seen enemy. Your reward? A fight with a Dragon Priest named Malkoran.
#6: Dragon Bridge
Come for the exceptionally-crafted bridge the settlement is named after. Stay for the Imperials, if they're your kind of people. Haafingar's southernmost primary location is a small yet bustling community on the Karth River. Venture here during a Dark Brotherhood Quest in search of a target to eliminate, or else befriend the merchants, innkeeper at the Four Shields Tavern, and chat to the Penitus Oculatus troops stationed here.
Found a dungeon, hovel, abandoned camp or other location in Haafingar Hold and want to tell us about it? Then head on over here.
Until next time (where my top five locations are revealed), may your run-ins with the Penitus Oculatus be advantageous, and your attacks on the Thalmor triumphant.
As always, look for the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Revised & Expanded Prima Official Game Guide at a retailer near you!

Sorry to hear this, but the recommendations are not made by the site but are done by the "sponsors" of the site, the credit card companies. They base their recommendations on partial information from here, and that is not always good enough. The"sponsors" pay for this site so we can use it for free; otherwise we would have to pay to get a credit score.
The inquiries on your credit report from this application you made will be insignificant in one year and gone in two.
The delinquencies are the big denial problem, as it the collection/public record notification. Those will not disappear for 7 years from the date they occurred.
You might want to check Dave Ramsey's site and see what he recommends. He may have some workable ideas on how to possibly get the interest rate reduced so you can get the bills paid in full. It is difficult to have high balances to pay off, but you can make it since I can see you are so detemined. Please do not give up.

Don't use the recommendations on this site. Hard Inquiries only remain on your reports for 2 years and only cause damage for 1 year and the damage is not that severe, so don't worry about it and put it behind you as a lesson learned not to do anything that Credit Karma recommends. Also keep in mind that the scores you get here on Credit Karma are not scores that most lenders will use, most lenders use FICO scores. Forget about applying for any more credit in your current situation as it is not the answer for you. Find a way to generate more money to put toward paying off your current debt, it may not be easy, but it is the best solution to your problems. Find a second job, sell things that you don't need, cut your spending, etc.

When violence occurs at work, employees may say their violent co-worker "just snapped." But, the truth is, people usually don't snap. They display warning signs long before they actually act out. Too many supervisors let things like threats and argumentative behavior slide until it's too late ...

The cost cutting and staff reductions may not be completely over, but as the economy begins its recovery, HR will be dealing with new challenges in 2010. Here are 10 trends to expect in the coming year, plus tips and tools to help you respond to each.
These days, most employers are focusing hard on increasing per-employee output. By some measures, it's working: Government statistics show large jumps in employee productivity. But some of those gains come when employees cut workplace safety corners to get more done. Don't let that happen.
Our friends at the law firm of Fisher & Phillips LLP recently published this entertaining look at the employment law year that was. From A (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) to Z (zealously), 2009 was a busy year for those who track employment law trends.
The cost cutting and headcount reductions might not be over yet, but as the economy begins its slow recovery, HR pros are reporting fewer layoffs, a renewed focus on retention—and even a talk of pay raises! Still, the flush workplace of 2006 isn't likely to rush back into vogue. Here are 12 lingering adjustments—all with comp and benefits implications—that could outlast the recession:
HR Law 101: Workplace dress codes touch on a variety of issues, including workplace safety, freedom of speech, personal hygiene, customer relations, religious freedom, the minimum wage and racial and gender stereotypes. Employers have a number of legitimate reasons for imposing a dress code, but court rulings have limited their options...
The cost cutting and staff reductions may not be completely over, but as the economy begins its recovery, HR will be dealing with new challenges in 2010. Here are 10 trends to expect in the coming year, plus tips and tools to help you respond to each:
Crises are too messy to predict or define, but you can identify a huge crisis so that it's comprehensible. A major crisis: grips an entire organization; takes a big toll on life, property, money or well-being; and sometimes can destroy an organization.
It may be tempting to ignore complaints you suspect are frivolous or unfounded. Don't give in to that temptation! Instead, investigate the case as you would any other. Then resolve the matter and document everything—including whom you talked to and what they said. It's the best way to short-circuit a meritless employee lawsuit.
Public employees who speak out on matters of public concern are protected from retaliation because their speech is protected by the First Amendment. For some time, courts have held that, if the employee's motive was not informing the public, but instead securing some other workplace advantage, the speech was not protected. But now the 2nd Circuit has concluded that isn't the law.

SCHOOLS FOOTBALL: Brittany helps England deliver big victory
8:50am Wednesday 12th March 2014
8:50am Wednesday 12th March 2014
OXFORDSHIRE'S Brittany Egden helped England Under 15 Schoolgirls to a resounding 8-0 win over the Republic of Ireland in a friendly at Maidstone United.
The 14-year-old defender, who goes to Marlborough School, Woodstock, came on as a substitute for her international debut with 30 minutes to go when England were leading 2-0.
Playing at right back, she was involved in the build-up to two of the goals as England scored six more before the final whistle.
Now Egden, from Yarnton, who plays for Oxford United girls, can look forward to representing her country again in the Bob Docherty Cup at Repton School in Derbyshire from April 14-17.

Best Kosher for Passover Wines
I recently had the opportunity to taste several kosher-for-Passover wines with a small group of wine enthusiasts at an event hosted by editor Joel Magalnick and Publisher Karen Chachkes of JTNews, Washington State's Jewish newspaper. Nine wines were poured by Michael Friend of Royal Wine Corporation, the world's largest producer and importer of kosher wines.
It was quite clear that kosher wine has moved far beyond the sickly sweet bottle of Manischewitz. I liked some of the offerings better than others, but all of them were right in line with similar non-kosher bottles at comparable price points.
I'll share my brief tasting notes here, and you should click over to JTNews for more in-depth analysis.
White wines:
Segal's Chardonay/Columbard Fusion (Israel, $13.99) – crisp, acidic, not a lot of fruit. More tannic and bitter than I prefer.
Herzog Special Reserve Russian River Chardonnay 2007 (California, $34) – my favorite of the whites. Balanced, complex, with rounded tannins and a long finish.
Barkan Classic Sauvignon Blanc (Israel, $11.99) – tingly, crisp, buttery and well balanced with mango/tropical fruit flavors. The best value of the whites.
Red wines:
Binyamina Yogev Cabernet/Merlot (Israel, 13.99) – cherry on the nose, rather tannic and harsh, not much fruit on the palate. Unbalanced.
Segal's Specia Reserve Merlot (Israel) – funky smell, too acidic for me.
Elvi Wines Classico (Spain, $12.49) – a distinct aroma of black olives, straightforward and enjoyable. My pick for best value in the reds.
Goose Bay Pinot Noir (New Zealand, $23.99) – it was an interesting sensation to switch to Pinot Noir after these darker, heavier wines. This one had a very specific aroma of sesame oil to me, which I found appealing.
Baron Rothschild Malbec (Argentina, $24.99) – probably the world's only kosher Malbec. Young and aggressive. It reminded me of a teenager full of energy, but with some toasted notes as well. Enjoyable, probably my favorite of the reds.
Herzog Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 (Alexander Valley, California, $42) – the most expensive bottle we tasted, and the reason for that showed up in the complexity of black cherry and vanilla flavors. This is a powerful wine at 14% alcohol.

Hang over (the side)
…"How's Your Drink?" is a great WSJ column by Eric Felten. On Dec 27, 2008, he ventured into everyone's favorite subject around New Year's Eve—hangover cures.
…He starts with a grand story about a 1938 "coming out" party at the Ritz-Carlton with FOUR bars, he said elatedly. One bar was solely for "the cure."
…The "cure" was chilled Coca-Cola poured into cold milk, a nap, and then you "felt wonderful."
…Why you got the hangover AT the party was not explained.
…So many people have looked for the grail of how to neutralize alcohol immediately.
…Medicinal "bitter" barks are a favorite.
…A Prairie Oyster is sort of a counter-irritant or distraction—a raw egg yolk with Worcestershire. Bertie Wooster (P.G. Wodehouse) received this elixir from Jeeves and felt like a lighted torch was strolling down his throat, followed by the singing of birds in the treetops.
…Usually, a Prairie Oyster also contained a shot of whiskey. This is called…"the hair of the dog," based on dog fur being thought (quite wrongly) a cure for rabies.
…One wag even described the recipe: "Take the juice of two quarts of whiskey…" it began.
…Other people described the hair of the dog as putting out a fire with kerosene.
…Still, Jim Morrison recommended a couple of Ramos Gin Fizzes if indisposed.
…Robert Mitchum once gave one of the latter to Frank Sinatra, remarking that it was "mother's milk." After that, Sinatra sent Mitchum a card every Mother's Day.

How to drink
…Ha! You thought HA was going to say, "Drink responsiibly," didn't ya? Well, she isn't--Real Simple magazine is.
…They point out the upside of alcohol, which is that goodness of red wine for the heart mantra. It's the resveratrol, you know. And new studies show you get a therapeutic amount from very little red wine.
….Who wants very little red wine?
…But HA digresses. A little wine can also protect your liver.
…Drinking in moderation can also lower cholesterol, some docs think.
…Also, if you like fruit in your drinks, you are a genius—alcohol bumps uo the antioxidant power of fruit. Fresh raspberry margs, yuh-um!
…Sad face. There is also a downside to drinking (see half the movies ever made). Three or more drinks a day may increase your chances of breast cancer 30%. If you already have a 3% chance, that becomes 4%.
…Alcohol can make your skin look crummy. Stretching the capillaries.
…Drinking can lead to overeating. Those nuts and chips.
…Alcohol can also screw up your sleep patterns.
…And, of course, being unable to stop drinking can deplete your bank account, push your family away, cost you everything, and force you to sleep next to a dumpster or kill someone.
…Drink slowly if you do drink. Drink later in the day. Don't drink in the hot sun—you will get dehyrated.
…Before drinking eat something with a little fat in it. Stick to light or clear drinks. The darker, the more compounds it contains—hey, what about resveratrol?
….Diet soda makes you absorb the alcohol faster—don't use it in drinks. It's kinda silly, anyhow.
…Women process alcohol slower than men, so don't try to match them one for one.
…HA always was a cheap date.

All is not lost if you slip
…HA hates the R-word, resolution. Now, before the New Year even brings these darn things, is the perfect time to recognize you will probably break any you make.
…So, OK, you are a dork. You can't abstain, refrain, or whatever.
…The experts say this is no reason to throw up your hands (though that would be good exercise) and bag it.
…Just climb back on the wagon and move on, they advise.
…If you are not an exerciser, an expensive health club membership may not be the motivator you think. Just get moving. Walk around the block. Shovel snow.
…Alcoholism is a horrible addiction and it's so easy to break your will. Don't let people talk you into "one little one."
…If you slip up, go to more meetings, call your sponsor. Just take an action.
..If you pig out a few times, start writing down your food for a week or two—get back in synch.
…When you slip during the holidays, it does not mean you are back to Square One. Far from it—you have done the thinking, now make the next moment count to regroup on the actions.
…It is not the end of the world. Not even of YOUR world.

You don't want to give up the finger
…Dana Scarton (NYT, Dec 16, 2008) says losing your pinkie finger seems like small change, but it isn't.
…First, you lose 50% of your hand strength. Wow—half!
…The author snapped her right pinkie, which soon could not bend. She couldn't make a fist, hold a tennis racket,or vacuum (don't laugh, that last could be bad).
…She broke the metacarpal—the bone that extends into the hand. This happens more to the pinkie than any other finger or the thumb. It's a "border digit"—doctalk for on the outside.
…Sometimes breaks in the pinkie don't even hurt—yet can take plates and screws to fix.
…This, the author says, is followed by physical therapy—which hurts! You don't want scar tissue forming.
…Sure enough, after all this, an MRI showed that scar tissue had immobilized the flexor tendon.
…She needed another operation to free it—then more PT. That little finger carried a big punch—thankfully, she can now form a fist.
Tuesday, December 23, 2008
Budget babies
…HA went through somes trials and tribs achieving her daughter, but never went as far as in vitro. She sure can remember the obsession, though.
...Now, in an upcoming documentary on the work of Julia Indichova, author of The Fertile Female, we learn some possible cost-effective moves that could help you conceive.
…No, it's not just—relax, it will happen.
…Indichova is no pollyanna and makes no guarantees, but she does hate to see people do the expensive in vitro time and time again and drive themselves increasingly nuts.
…Seventy-five percent of the time, these efforts fail.
…In her Fertile Heart ™--O-V-UM seminar, she gives seven hours of instruction on nutrition, imagery, movement, and dreams.
…She says she sees so many women torturing themselves about how their miscarriages are caused by not having positive thoughts. Allow the truth to rise up, she urges. To censor thoughts can cause "issues in the tissues," she says.
…The seminars are $195. In vitro can be thousands upon thousands. Maybe in the midst of a downturn is exactly when inconvenient, expensive babies might just decide to arrive.
…You know how perverse kids are.
…Check out www.fertileheart.com.
Monday, December 22, 2008
Move in your future?
…The people across the street moved and half their stuff is in HA's garage to be collected who knows when, but this is, of course, a personal problem.
…Moving is a hugely discommoding health event—up there with death (of someone else) and divorce.
…America has long been known as a Bedouin-like nomadic society, with folks trotting off to soul-less suburbs and leaving friends and family for distant new digs.
…But now we learn that just 13% of the population changed addresses between 2006 and 2007.
…This is the lowest rate since after World War II.
…Six in 10 Americans has moved at least once. Or should that be 4 out of 10 have NOT moved at least once?
…More than a third of us live in our hometowns. Almost 60% of us have never left our home state.
…Yet, this is a little sad, too—a Pew survey showed that of people who lived in two or more places, nearly 40% are not living in their "heart home."
…What about all these foreclosures? People will be moving whether they like it or not, and HA suspects not.
…At the same time, many people are upsidedown or "underwater," the new term—and owe more than their houses would sell for. They are trapped, heart home or no.
Friday, December 19, 2008
Even Santa has to fill in a clipboard
…Those larky types at Baylor University Med Center gave even fat old Santa a clean bill of health to pull an all-nighter humping toys, wedging into chimneys, and bolting cookies.
...This guy is what, hundreds of years old?
…Of course, Santa does have a slightly elevated blood sugar, it was pointed out. Blame those cookies.
…Leave him some fruit and veggies, the docs said—hey, aren't those carrots for bad people?
…Santa underwent a weigh-in, BP check, nutritional counseling and a conversation about family history.
…Santa does not smoke and apparently walks 30 mins a day around the Pole area, so he was in pretty good shape. Fit as a fiddle? That would be stretching it..
…His "bowl full of jelly" can be a problem or indicator of metabolic syndrome—high BP, high cholesterol, and high glucose rolled into one syndrome.
…Baylor also said Mrs Claus made Santa go to the doc—he is a typical jolly male.
…The rubber glove? No mention was made. Thank goodness.
…But yeah, he probably had that, too.
Thursday, December 18, 2008
Have a...
…Enough with the poison, the hospitalizations, the depression, and let's talk fruit.
…HA loves bananas. Does anyone seriously hate them? (HA's mother does—she once went on a banana diet, nuff said.)
…According to health maven Jean Carper (USA Weekend, Oct 17), a study at Tufts shows that older Americans, especially, need to eat high potassium foods—like Chiquita's delight.
…Muscle mass declines after age 50, they say. Seniors who hit the potassium however, had 3.6 more pounds of lean muscle than those who didn't.
…Supposedly potassium counters acidic residues in the body, preventing muscles from punking out.
…Vegetables and fruits become alkaline (even the acidic ones like citrus) in the body and neutralize acidity.
…To get more potassium, besides nanners, you can eat dried apricots, cantaloupe, potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, pumpkin, legumes, avocado, and orange juice and tomato products.
…HA loves peanut butter and banana sandwiches, all smooshed together, dense, oh, boy!
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
Have yourself a merry little IV
…Denice Foose, a chaplain at the Methodist Hospital in Houston, says any time you can bring a holiday ritual to a hospitalized patient, it's good.
…Even if you can only afford smiles for patients and staff and a visit—it's something.
…Obviously you can't lug in a plasma (though the pun is irresistible), but you can do little things.
…If you or the patient is bummed out (holiday blues PLUS!), talk about it, don't change the subject.
…Remember, if you duck your home life on the holidays to visit the person, they might feel guilty about it—put them at ease.
…Find a holiday special and watch it in the hospital with visitors.
…Maybe the patient can help write out cards.
…Give a gift to the roommate, too.
…Kids in the hospital at Christmas need special little gifts and fun things.
…If you are in the hospital and your family can't come, chat with volunteers that do come. Don't spurn them.
…Hospital stays, even if they coincide with a holiday, are temporary. You want to leave alive, so just put up with it and make the most of the good parts that do come your way.
…Maybe the Jell-O will be red and green. Hold the school kids singing, though. Those high register trilling voices, the little Drummer Kid… Someone might have to code you.

Deck the halls with deadly poison
…Cincinnati Children's Hospital poison control center wants you to be afraid, be very afraid. Christmas stuff is poison for little kids. They have smaller systems and cannot handle an exploratory nosh of many Christmas staples. This goes for pets, too.
...Parenthetically—have you noticed that HA does not have a linear mind—HA once had a cat that ate one holly berry and almost died. The vet always called him Mr Holly Berry after that.
…Anyoldhow…First, the hospital warns not to leave half-full alcoholic drinks around. Kids get up early and will get sick if they finish off the dregs.
…Mistletoe can affect the nervous system, blood pressure and heart if you graze on it or let your kids get a hold of it.
...Poinsettias have a huge rep, but probably aren't as harmful as billed--still, don't munch.
…Here we go—holly! There are 400 kinds and some are poisonous. Leaves and berries are both toxic. Buy fake.
…Jerusalem Cherry—HA has not idea what this is, but don't eat any.
…Cyclamen. This is a houseplant not a salad ingredient.
…Those essential oils—wintergreen, camphor, and so on. These can be very toxic.
…Dry ice. HA used to love dry ice when she was a kid! Well, she is lucky to be alive. It's carbon dioxide and can burn your mouth if you eat the weird smoky stuff.
…In good conscience, HA must also mention fruitcake. HA loves it. Send her some.
Monday, December 15, 2008
Take two herbs and call a witch
…Scripps Howard's Maureen Gilmer writes that just like 500 years ago, health care is expensive and people fear creepy or painful procedures. HA sure does!
…So who did they call then? The village healer. This was usually a woman (now it's a health food store) who knew about recipes and plants that her mother told her about.
…Plants were the source. Today drug companies send people into the rain forest scouring for plants, did you know that?
…Digitalis to regulate heart rhythm was from foxglove, a nice purple flower.
…Yarrow was packed into wounds to stop bleeding.
..Aspirin is from willows.
..Camomile and mint calm icky tummies.
…Echinacea is from a daisy.
…Healers harvested their stock and trade and dried the plants for future use. They made infusions (tea) or ground the plants and mixed with fat to make salves.
…When upheavals came or times were bad, this woman was vilified and called a witch (sort of like saying doctors caused the economic mess with their penicillin). When so-called witches were killed, knowledge died with them.
…Sometimes, though, this info was captured into books, such as the 1931 classic, "A Modern Herbal" by Mrs. M. Grieve.
…You can get these at www.botanical.com. The contents are also free online.
…HA's kid once burned her leg on a hot curling iron and HA ran outside and got her some aloe goo out of the yard.
…Otherwise, HA is blame free in the witch department.
…But she will add: Be cautious. Herbs are drugs. Remember the drug company guys looking through the jungle?
Friday, December 12, 2008
TLC at the office
…Most regrettably, HA has no one to give her a seated massage. The pooch is hopeless, and the cats dig in their claws.
…Writing in the East Valley Tribune, Tony Natale says all the political and economic madness is making everyone very stressed. (One for the Big Book of Duh, but thanks, Tone.)
…Some companies bring in masseuses (masseusae?) to unknot the shoulders of freaky workers.
…Chair massages! Fifteen to 30 mins--$15. Recipients say they have a few minutes of peace and it works wonders. (It also helps with survivor guilt—when others get a pink slip and you beat the reaper.)
…Other companies offer yoga and exercise. Even though wellness programs cost a penny or two, more companies do them during hard times than good times.
…Even if the companies don't pay for the classes, they let people do it on company time.
…Personally HA prefers vodka, but has no nice executive to buy it for her.
…(Just seeing you were paying attention—of course, HA realizes vodka is not a health drink. More's the pity.)

Cutting pharm costs
…Stefanie Ferreri, PharmD, and Jena Ivey, PharmD, both pharmacists and assistant profs at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, offer the following tips for cutting medication costs.
…Be sure you aren't taking more stuff than you need or is good for ya. HA has been telling you this. People sometimes just take stuff and don't stop and the doctor never looks over the list. Bring in your pills next time and ask about them.
…Go generic, people! The average generic is $34, the average brand-name $119.
…Wal-Mart and others have $4 generics. A recent study of heart meds showed that many of the old, cheaper, off-patent drugs are better than the new ones.
…If a drug clocks in at some heart-stopping rate and has no generic, call the doc and ask for another one that might have a generic. Docs can't keep track of what's on every formulary (insurance co drug list), so you have to.
…Go for 3-mo supplies. Even in $4 generics, this can cut costs. (This can be a bad idea if you are not sure the drug will work or agrees with you—you may end up with a lot.)
…Those free samples? When they dry up, you may fall over when you hear what the drug costs. Proceed accordingly.
…See if you can get a higher strength and cut the pills in half. This can backfire if the pills are capsules, time-release, or weird shapes. Use your noodle!
…Your pharmacist can be your pal—talk all this over with him or her. Docs never have time.

Ah, smells like Christmas
…Did you know your house has a signature smell? (No kitty litter jokes here, pls.)
…It's Christmasy to get rid of that aroma.
…Samanatha Critchell, AP, says pine, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie, and gingerbread smell like the holidays.
…Fragrance is part of decorating. Of course, you can bake cookies—but why bother when there are candles and sprays?
…Try layering scents—it makes you aware of them longer. Use vanilla as a base, one guy says.
…Make those little clove and orange scent thingies—they keep emitting smells.
..Right before guests come, fire off three blasts from the room freshener can. Or you can boil apples on the stove, low heat.
…Scent is the closest sense to memory and emotion—stringing popcorn may associate that scent with the holidays, but younger people may just think, "Hey, time for a movie."
…Scented items make good gifts if you stick with things you like and give them to people of a similar age.
…HA once gave scented drawer liners (Caswellmassey.com) to someone. If that person had been a youngster, they would have said: "Dude, what's the 411?" or something.

Oh, deer!
...Out here in Arizona, elks get hit by cars. But in most states, it's deer.
…It's not like whacking into a hapless possum—this is hundreds of pounds of dense flesh that can take out your vehicle—and you!
…According to a story by Kevin Aldridge in the Cincinnati Enquirer, in nine Ohio counties alone, more than 3,500 deer got hit last year.
…These encounters, if one can call them that, racked up $71 million in insurance claims in 1999.
…October, November, and December are the worst months—it's mating season and deer and elk generally hold newfangled paraphernalia like roads in disdain and follow their ancestral pathways as if civilization had never arrived.
…Actually, according to this story, deer like this new deal called suburbia, feasting on gardens and fruit trees.
…Bull elk weigh 1,200 pounds. Out here, they are being collared with radio transmitters. Special crossing areas are also being prepared—corresponding to where they want to cross anyway.
…This also keeps various herds from staying on one side or another of a highway and inbreeding.
…When you are out at dusk, heads up. Drive at a reasonable speed. Use your high beams. When you see one deer, others may be following behind.
…They don't care about your horn and will keep coming anyway.
…HA once did a story on this herself and some places put out lion poop from the zoo to spook the deer. This concept actually spooked HA. Other places built over- or underpasses.
…But the animals are coming through and it's up to us to accommodate them. Animals are like that. Why do you think people call them "wild"?

Deadly white stuff
…Nah, not THAT.
…According to the govt (ours), 118,000 people were treated in 2007 for injuries sustained while shoveling anow.
…115,000 were hurt blowing snow around with snow blowers.
…Sprains, strains, amputations—all from winter precip.
…Shoveling snow means heavy lifting. Ask the doctor if it's time to hang up the old shovel and find a teen.
…Dress appropriately—light layers. Mittens, gloves, warm socks.
…Make sure you can see—for blowing wear glasses or safety goggles.
…Warm up your muscles. Then take frequent breaks. You can get dehydrated even in winter.
…Don't use a shovel that holds too much. Some are specially designed.
…Don't throw snow to the side…walk where you want it. Lift with your legs.
…When using a snowblower…don't stick hands or feet in there to clear it—wait until it melts a little.
…Shut it down if you walk away.
…Do not trip over the cord—it can get under snow.
…HA knows this is a toughie—read the manual. Yes, even guys.
…And you're gonna want to keep up your hot cocoa levels afterward.

Good-bye to $7.50 sodas
…Writing in the Arizona Republic (Dec 4, 2008), Dawn Gilbertson says the hotel minibar is going off the cliff.
…Is nothing sacred?
…Minibars are a siren call to kids (and some old kids, too) who want their own stash of salty and wet snacks, no matter what the cost. It's like a fantasy fridge.
…Two-year-old Pringles. Who could resist?
…The Hyatt and Sheraton chains are taking minibars out—or not building them in.
…Sales have been lacking and the things cost a lot to restock (another industry bites the biggie). Water was the biggest seller by far.
…People have also noticed they can bring in their own snacks. Many hotels offer a plain old fridge—go shopping! Some guests even haul in a cooler presumably full of healthful fruit and veggies.
…Naturally, some hotels are going the other way, making minibars with more bells and whistles. Half of the finer hotels still have them.
…But some companies want them removed from the rooms so they don't have to pay for those impulse items.
…The hotels swear they are putting their money into fitness centers. Hmmm. Not sure she is buying that one. At any price.

New inhalers scaring some people
…People get so cranky when someone messes with their air.
…At the end of this month, the inhalers many people need to breathe, exercise or just stay alive will go off the market. No more…
….They use a propellant deemed harmful to the environment so must go.
…The new inhalers put out the same medicine but with differences…
…This has not been widely publicized and the time to find out how to use the new method is not when gasping for breath!
…The new inhalers provide a softer spray, leading people to think they are not getting a sufficient jolt. They are also more expensive and need to be cleaned more frequently.
…It also tastes different.
…A generic version of the old inhaler was $22. The new one is $35 and is brand-name,meaning it could carry a higher copay.
…The new system harks back to a treaty about not harming the ozone layer. That's good, but you also need to breathe the unharmed air.
…The manufacturers are offering some coupons—ask the doc.
…Also, controlling your asthma with exercise and preventive medicine can minimize use of the expensive canisters.
…Always something, isn't it?

Donning of the green
…We don't have money, right, so let's at least have some weird-ass ideas. That's HA's motto, actually.
…Jami Lin of www.ColorAlchemy.com says lose the red and hit the green. Green is the color of love, she says. Wear it, decorate with it—and you will be peaceful and create patience in others.
…Lin says green, green, green—tablecloths, candles (green candles also attract money, HA must in all good conscience add). How about green cookies?
….Green gives nature a good name. Have you ever noticed that?
…Green food is good for you (veggies, not pistachio ice cream and absinthe).
…Give green wreaths as gifts (circles denote longevity).
…Here's an idea—make your gifts if you are lacking in er…green.
…If you get green around the gills, use some red—it energizes.
..Orange inspires play (and is also the favored color of the insane, HA has heard and is fond of repeating).
…Yellow commands confidence. The other day, HA's sister said, "I hate yellow." She sounded pretty confident about it, though.
…Blue clears the mind.
…Violet creates inner peace (men tend to hate it, so no purple ties).
…HA once heard that diamond cutters keep an emerald next to their cutting station and when their eyes get tired from studying a diamond, they look at the emerald to clear their vision.
…She likes to repeat that, too, though she is not sure what it means.

Healthy gifts--like socks, you mean?
…Please don't tell HA fun is being sucked out of Christmas any more than usual.
…She recently got a press release saying hey, forget the cologne and lingerie, give the gift of health.
….Well, go right ahead and buy your wife a new scale, your teen some acne cream, and your husband a universal gym for "that little pot" and see how happy they are.
…Oh, HA is just being her Grinchy self. If you want to drop your sparse bucks on health, go ahead. The Univ of Michigan has some suggestions--and who doesn't ask them?
…Gifts that reduce stress and food intake might be just the ticket. Give olive oil and fancy vinegar (OK, not terrible), nuts, and healthy soup mixes. (HA is probably the only person on earth who needs a soup mix, but this doesn't sound too bad—beats a year's supply of tofu.)
…Comfy walking shoes, sweat wicking socks. Why, just saying "sweat wicking socks" is festive.
…A pedometer could be good.
…How about setting someone up at www.walking.com to get daily nag…HA means, reminders and tips..about walking? Walkingspree.com and sportbrain.com have yearly memberships if you're flush.
…A reader, Nancy Paull, suggests desktop yoga. It rings a little bell while you're working—time to stretch. Check out: http://easydesktopyoga.com/.
…How about waterproof gloves for kids? Or snow boots. (Have these darn kids been at the console so long they don't own boots? Maybe HA should quit mocking.)
…Dance, Dance Revolution and Apple Wii Fit are games that make kids jump around.
…Or give the kid the satisfaction of knowing you gave their gift to another kid—donate.
…HA donates—and so far, people have been pretty underwhelmed, which just makes her keep it up.
…But you know how she is.
Monday, December 01, 2008
Don't do what she's doing
…Julie Deardorff, Chicago Trib, quotes personal trainer and bodybuilding professional Kristal Richardson as saying there are five exercises women should not do. One of them is sit-ups!
…Women generally have looser joints and doing exercises incorrectly can lead to stiff joints or damage.
In doing a sit-up, you clasp hands behind your head with causes a bend in the spine and can lead to neck pain. In a sit-up you come to 90 degrees. In a crunch, you keep your lower back on the floor.
…Instead of sit-up, try a bicycle crunch. According to Richardson, you lie on your back, place your hands next to your ears, and start a pedaling motion with your legs, lifting the left should to the right, the right to the left, etc.
…Women also should not do squats with a weight bar. This bulks up the rear and thighs---ick. Instead try lunges.
…Behind the neck shoulder presses are also not advised (pix). The little muscle at the top of your shoulder can get inflamed and cause "weight lifter's shoulder." Instead try seated shoulder presses. Hold a pair of dumbbells overhead, arms straight, palms. Bend your right elbow and lower your arm until your upper arm is parallel to the floor. Don't bring your arms down too low.
…Straight leg push ups are also bad for women. Instead do them on your knees like we used to do in PE.
…Women also should not do standing dead lifts. This also bulks up your bottom. Instead face a wall, stabilize yourself and kick back.
….Then take two Tylenol and don't call HA.
…Kidding on the Tylenol.

iPhone Combusts On Flight Sending Passengers Into a Panic
Airplane passengers were thrown into a panic after someone's iPhone 4 combusted shortly after the plane landed in Sydney last week.
The Apple iPhone 4 in question was a black version of the smartphone. The cell phone started "emitting a significant amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a red glow," according to a statement released by Express Airlines, an Australian regional carrier.
According to AP, once the iPhone combusted passengers were thrown into a panic, but a flight attendant on the Australian flight came to the rescue by extinguishing the smoking phone.
The cause of the combustion has still not been determined, and the iPhone 4 has been handed over to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau for further investigation.
This is not the first time that an Apple product has been caught up in such an incident. In 2009 a number of iPhones and iPads were reported to have caught fire and exploded during flights in the U.K., France and Holland.
An Apple Australia spokesperson has said: "We look forward to working with the officials investigating this incident."

Medical News Today - "Swallowing Exercises Help Head And Neck Cancer Patients, Short-Term"
The April issue of Archives of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery reports that patients who undergo chemoradiation therapy (CRT), who perform specific swallowing exercises after their CRT, experience a short-term improvement in swallowing. The study also reveals that after nine or twelve months of treatment, there was no substantial difference in swallowing function amongst patients of the intervention and the control group. In a randomized, controlled trial, Tamar Kotz, MS, CCC-SLP, of The Mount Sinai Medical Center, and her team examined 26 patients with head and neck cancer who were receiving CRT. Learn more

CORVALLIS, Ore. — When tight end Marcus Mathews was in high school, he narrowed his college choices down to BYU and Oregon State.
Ultimately, Mathews, a native of Beaverton, Ore., chose the Cougars over the Beavers.
Now, he gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to face the team he grew up watching as BYU visits OSU Saturday.
"It's the last game I'll ever play in Oregon, so that's a big thing," said the 6-foot-5, 200-pound sophomore. "I always liked Oregon State growing up. They're one of the schools that offered me and I considered going there. It's a great school. So it's a personal thing. I can't wait. I'm all jittery thinking about it."
Mathews has attended a couple of games at Reser Stadium over the years.
"It's pretty loud. It's pretty raucous," he said. "I know my friends that go (to OSU) and go to the games are crazy guys. It's going to be a crazy atmosphere."
Mathews has emerged as a playmaker for the Cougars this season, catching 16 passes for 146 yards, including a memorable, game-winning touchdown reception on a deflected pass with 11 seconds remaining in a 27-24 win over Utah State.
In that game, Riley Nelson replaced Jake Heaps at quarterback and won the starting job. In last week's 29-16 victory over San Jose State, Nelson, making his first start of the year, completed 14-of-24 passes for 219 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Heaps did not play a single snap last Saturday.
Nelson is expected to start against OSU, but Mendenhall hasn't ruled out giving Heaps another shot to play at some point.
"I'm prepared to play the quarterback that's the most productive and will help our team do its very best to reach its potential the rest of this year," he said. "My guess is that it will take more than one quarterback."
Wide receiver Cody Hoffman said he would like to see the offense play today like it did in the first half against SJSU, when the Cougars jumped out to a 23-3 advantage.
"We came out on fire. We couldn't be stopped throwing the ball," he said. "Then we kind of slowed down a little bit. We made big plays when we needed to."
Hoffman said he doesn't care about which QB plays, as long as he delivers results.
"I just want a quarterback that'll win games," he said. "If that's Riley, he's been winning, then I'm going to stick with Riley. They're both great quarterbacks. I just want a winner, someone who will lead the team to victory."
Like Mathews, Hoffman was also recruited by Oregon State. Corvallis is a five-hour drive from Hoffman's hometown of Crescent City, Calif.
"It's the second-closest Division I school to (his hometown)," Hoffman said, adding that about 200 friends and family are expected to make the pilgrimage to Reser Stadium for the game.
It was one of Mendenhall's former Oregon State teammates, Terry Vance, who informed BYU about Hoffman. "I've thanked (Vance) a lot. I owe him a lot for helping me get out here and helping get my football career going," Hoffman said.
Mathews seriously considered signing with Oregon State in part because it's close to his home. Beaverton is about 80 miles north of Corvallis.
"They have a great football program. I grew up watching them and Oregon," he said. "The coaches are really cool. Their campus and facilities are great. It was like a home away from home because it was so close."
This week, Mathews has been studying film of the Las Vegas Bowl in 2009, when BYU pounded OSU, 44-20. Former Cougar tight ends Dennis Pitta and Andrew George had a lot of success against the Beavers that night and Mathews is hoping to make big plays today for the Cougar offense.
Mathews is planning on this matchup against OSU (1-4) being close and hard-fought.3 comments on this story
"I think it will be a competitive game," he said. "I expect our team to play well and play confidently. It's going to be a good game. They're a Pac-12 team and they're a good team. They have good athletes. They've had a rough year but that doesn't mean anything. We started off 1-4 last year and turned our season around. They can do the same thing."

I'm wondering does anyone know if flagels have less carbs, less calories or
are they the same amount as the normal bagels?
secondly do you think sandwiches are better on flagels b/c of more surface area
or bagels are better, sandwiches such as pastrami's and breakfast sandwiches like
ham, egg and cheese???
thanks NYC foodies
