Dementia: Can we reduce the risk?
September is World Alzheimer's Month. Today's guest author, Marc Wortmann, the Executive Director at Alzheimer's Disease International talks about the international campaign and the recommendations laid out by this year's annual report.
World Alzheimer's Month is the global awareness month for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. This is an important month to have because in large parts of the world dementia is still considered a normal part of ageing, rather than a disease of the brain. Alzheimer's Disease International coordinates awareness and public policy efforts and uses this month to launch its World Alzheimer Report.
This year, the World Alzheimer Report 2014 focuses on modifiable risk factors. It shows there is strong evidence that cardiovascular risk factors, as well as …

Close-up: Amy's Framed Flocked Wallpaper
We just saw a gorgeous, giant roll of stuff she plans to frame, and feel that this idea is perfect for anyone. It's also an inexpensive way to swap out art that you don't want to see anymore, while still getting use out of an old frame that could use new life.
There are many online resources for flocked paper, vintage or new, and we pulled the image, right, from flockedwallpaper.com.
Have any of you done something similar? Send us your pics to chicago(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com and we'll show them off! Or, tag your photos in flickr with apartmenttherapychicago.
(Thanks, Amy!)

i love this
Awesome idea! We had some flocked wallpaper in our powder room when I was little (1970's) and I thought it was pretty cool then. I've been looking for some fairly inexpensive "art" for some of my walls and this may be my next project. Thanks for posting the idea!
You must be reading my mind. We just had a supplier discontinue their line and we have many rolls. We plan on framing them in elegant frames and sell them as short run exclusive items. www.FlockedWallpaper.com

text: The AdPages is a new way for advertisers to distribute print catalogues and publications through interactive online banners by adding a PDF catalogue to any standard banner. As it is just a PDF, which is updateable, it is easy to change the content during a live campaign. AdPages features a "Click to read in Full Screen" option and can be used on any standard banner where you can combine a teaser, like an automatically expanding overlay, to grab a user's attention. The ad could be a three-second expandable panel, with the catalogue and its pages turning and flicking, or a pop out and back. When it is combined with data capture, the user, for example, can sign up for a newsletter or find a link to an e-shop or website. This is an effective and quick way to convert a PDF into an interactive ad and since the whole catalogue is integrated in the ad you will get high interactions and engagement rates.

Letting employees know of their importance to the company is important, as everyone like to feel appreciated, and it improves the moral of workers, not to mention their overall productivity.
Getting any form of recognition whether employee awards, certificates, diplomas, newspaper articles or blog posts for a well done job is usually very fulfilling and motivating especially when the memory of the day it was received is kept alive.
When celebrating a graduation it is difficult to convey the abundant pride that such an accomplishment warrants. Congratulations and best wishes are a dime a dozen. Teddy bears and flowers are passing tokens that have little value to the new graduate. Money is always a welcome gift, but lacks thoughtful intent. There is one gift that both conveys your pride in the new graduate and encourages success in the next phase of their life: a diploma plaque.
Graduation is a celebration a time to really enjoy an accomplishment. Then why do we hide our diploma?
Someone at work is going above the call of duty and really kicking butt. The new team created to bring in mores sales has just meet their goals. You have been asking your customer service department for a little extra this month and it seems to be working. You may have noticed work hours are up and everyone is putting in some good man hours.
Opportunity to congratulate a co-worker, employee, boss, or mentor only comes around every so often. To make the most of it why not give him or her the classic engraved plaque.
In The News creates custom plaques from magazine and newspaper articles. We professionally mount and preserve articles to create a high quality plaque with a picture frame effect.
So, we've talked about the advantages of searching out a positive article on a client and doing it as a beautiful plaque display for them. But, what if you can't find a print article?

Baccalà, or dried salt cod, is a favorite meal around our house, even if it only appears occasionally on the dinner table. One of the most delicious ways to make baccalà has got to be in the style of the northern Italian city of Vicenza, slowly simmered in milk flavored with a savory soffritto of garlic, onions and anchovies.
Before going any further, I should mention that the 'baccalà' in this dish is actually what in other parts of Italy would be called stoccafisso, or stockfish, codfish that is not salted but sun and air-dried until it is almost rock hard. Stockfish needs to be soaked in several changes of water over 3 or even 4 days before you can cook it. Some recipes even tell you to beat the cod with a mallet to soften it before soaking. Salt cod, by contrast, is usually still more or less pliable to the touch and requires a much shorter soak, usually 24 hours or less. Stoccafisso is the usual codfish used in the cooking of the Veneto, where this dish originates, while in other parts of the Italy baccalà predominates. But if you can't find stoccafisso—it can be hard to find—this recipe works perfectly well with baccalà, with a few adjustments.
Begin, as mentioned, by soaking the baccalà in water. Depending on how long it has been cured, baccalà can take as much 24 hours to soak, or as little as 8 hours for some lightly salted, relatively fresh varieties. In any case, for this dish, which is seasoned with anchovies, you will want to make sure that the fish is well soaked and almost all of its saltiness removed. Change the water several times during the soaking period. If in doubt, taste a bit of the baccalà; if it is still very salty, keep soaking.
Meanwhile, make a soffritto by sweating an ample amount of thinly sliced (or finely chopped) onion—about half as much as the fish by weight—in olive oil until quite soft and translucent. Season with some salt and pepper, and add a few anchovy fillets and a handful of chopped parsley. As soon as the anchovies have 'melted' into the soffritto, turn off the heat.
Once the baccalà is ready, dry the fillets thoroughly, cut them into relatively even square pieces and dredge them in flour. Spread a spoonful or two of the soffritto on the bottom of a casserole dish, preferably of terracotta, then lay the pieces of baccalà over the soffritto, snugly but in a single layer.
Spread the rest of the soffritto on top of the baccalà. (If you have more fish than will fit in a single layer, then add just a bit of the soffritto on top of the bottom layer, place another layer of fish on top of that, and then spread the rest of the soffritto on top of the second layer. If you have more fish than will fit in two layers, then your casserole is too small!)
Pour over enough milk to just barely cover the fish pieces. Then sprinkle the top with abundant grated parmesan cheese. (This is one of the relatively rare cases in Italian cooking where fish and aged cheese are combined—an exception that proves the rule.) Then drizzle the whole with a generous filo d'olio.
Serve with soft polenta, preferably the polenta bianca that is typical of the Veneto, but in a pinch your average yellow polenta (as pictured above) will do fine.
NOTES: As noted above, the main concern when using salt cod rather than the original stockfish is to avoid over-salting, so be sure that the codfish is well soaked in several changes of water. You may or may not need to season the dish at all.
There are many subtle variations on the above recipe. Some recipes call for butterflying and 'stuffing' the salt cod fillets rather than simply layering them top and bottom. Some recipes say you should roll the fillets in the soffritto before flouring them. Some recipes call for mixing the soffritto into the milk rather than stuffing or layering the fish with it. Some recipes call for browning the floured pieces of cod before adding them to the casserole. Some recipes call for including a bit of garlic in the soffritto. And some recipes call for adding white wine to the soffritto and then allowing it to evaporate. Ada Boni, in her classic Talismano della Felicità, suggests adding a bit of wine to the dish as it cooks if it starts to dry out during the long cooking process. Almost all recipes call for a long, slow simmering of 3-4 hours, but one source I found specifies only 1-1/2 hours at a relatively high temperature. And, as noted above, you have the choice of simmering on the stove or in the oven. Personally, I prefer the oven method, which avoids scorching the bottom of the casserole and allows a pleasant crust to form on top. Just be careful to regulate the heat so that the crust does not brown too much.
Baccalà alla vicentina is such a famous dish that it actually has its own 'official' website, which sets out the official recipe of the Venerabile Confraternita del bacalà alla vicentina—which is the one set out in this post.
For some other ways to make baccala', check out my earlier post on baccalà e ceci.
Vicenza, by the way, is one town in Italy that I have not had the chance to visit, but one I most certainly want to, if only to see some of the 23 palazzi there designed by Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), a native of the city who was perhaps the most influential architect of all time. (If you've visited Monticello in the US or enjoyed the buildings of Christopher Wren or Inigo Jones (not to mention countless neo-Classical stately homes) in the UK, you've seen examples of Palladio's enormous influence. There are so many structures by the famous architect there that UNESCO has designated Vicenza as the "City of Palladio" on its list of World Heritage Sites. Among other noteworthy natives of the city are Sonia Gandhi, Indian politician and wife of Rajiv Gandhi, Prime Minister of India, and Roberto Biaggio, famed football (soccer) player.

Human Capital, Technology diffusion and Economic Growth in Low-to-Middle Income Country: a time series perspective of Guatemala, 1950-2001
AbstractThis paper investigates the impact of human capital on economic growth in Guatemala through the application of an error-correction methodology. Two channels are analyzed, by which human capital is expected to influence growth. A better-educated labor force appears to have a positive and significant impact on economic growth both via factor accumulation as well as on the evolution of total factor productivity. The results have been found robust concerning data issues and parameter stability.

Why Girl Scout Leader Allegedly Tortured Teen
Check out her MySpace profile.
A runaway foster child showed up in a gym yesterday wearing only boxers and a chain attached to his ankle. The 17-year-old said he had been held captive for over a year.
Girl Scout leader and stay-at-home mom Kelly Layne Lau is now under arrest along with her husband Michael Schumacher. Their next court date is Thursday and bail has been set at $1.2 million. They're being held on suspicion of conspiracy, torture, kidnapping, child beating, false imprisonment by force and paying a parent for adoption of a child, according to online jail information. The couple's four children, ages 1 to 9, are in the custody of social service workers.
The aunt of the boy has also been arrested in connection with the case, police said today.
We took a look at Kelly Layne Lau's MySpace page (which has since been taken down) for some clues into how a seemingly "normal" mom could be be capable of such an unspeakable act.
Here's what we found:
About me: 30 yr. old mom of 4 beautiful kids ... 9, .... 4, .... 2 and .... who just turned one.......Happily married to a man who I love to death. He is my best friend and a wonderful father to our 4 kids and I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world.
We live in Northern California where I am a stay at home mom and my husband is a Contractor. We have a typical life I guess-our oldest daughter is involved with Girl Scouts and .... is our Ballerina in training. My boys just kick back and wait there [sic] turn to do something fun. We have a dog named BUBBA and no white picket fence but our neighbor has one. LOL!!!!!!
Favorite TV shows: Six Feet Under, Family Plots, Nip/Tuck and Dexter. Anything that's gruesome. I'm weird I guess.
Um, that's an understatement.
We will bring you more details as this disturbing case develops.

Actress Brittany Murphy is dead after going into full cardiac arrest on Sunday. Read more on Brittany Murphy's tragic death below.
of a heart attack at 32.
Brittany Murphy has died at the age of 32 after going into full cardiac arrest on Sunday and was unable to be revived.
The Los Angeles Fire Department received a 911 call from the home of Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjack at around 8 a.m. Sunday morning.
Murphy was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Brittany Murphy has starred in movies such as "8 Mile," "Don't Say a Word", and "Just Married", and "Little Black Book."
Brittany became extremely popular in 1995 as the sidekick in "Clueless".
Murphy also was a singer and released the single "Faster Kill Pussycat," which was very popular at dance clubs.
The actresses last big movie was "Sin City" in 2005.
Brittany raised eyebrows when she secretly married screenwriter Simon Monjack in May 2007.
But Brittany seemed to be totally enamored with her husband and told OK Magazine what she loved about being married to Simon Monjack: "Getting up every morning and going to sleep every night next to my soul mate."
"We first met when I was 17 years old. We checked in with each other throughout the years and remained friends. The easiest decision I ever had in my life was getting married."
Our condolences to Brittany Murphy's husband, family, and many fans.

The moogles are a very cute race of creatures that inhabit several of the Final Fantasy game universes. The little critters are a kind of cross between a mole and a bat and are recurring in several of the games.
Kim Miller lives in Portland, Oregon and got this for her 19th birthday as a present from her brother. She says: "I grew up playing the Final Fantasy games and as soon as I could bear the thought of being poked with a tattoo gun, I always knew I'd get a Final Fantasy tattoo someday as a tribute to my childhood. I chose the moogle because of its universal role in the games -- and the cute factor, of course!" Kim also has a cactuar - another Final Fantasy creature - on the top of her other arm.

Oh, and until you learn some decent grammar, your argument is invalid. (Y)
But, a video game tatoo. No, i'm sorry but what-ever made you get one done is beyond. It is beyond sad, because i've seen several peeps with tatoos like these and i've told them to their face that they will regret it one day. I feel sorry for the artist who done the inking, because i reckon he or she was deep down laughing and was red with embarrasment doing the tat for you.
Tatoos are for the mature, but those who get a video-game related tat are mature people with child-like mindsets.
Yeah, thats my opinion. I havn't got tatoo's anywhere on my body, and i won't have any for my entire life-time.
A tattoo is not something you make a rash decision about. I got my Red XIII Tattoo (His tattoo on my arm) after a year or 2 considering it. I don't regret it one bit. The character has been my favourite ever since I played Final Fantasy 7 back in '97. I got the tattoo late last year.
Don't be so judgemental. We all have our reasons for doing what we do. Unless it affects you directly, don't tell us what we can and can't do.
I have the most awesome Pacman tattoo around my wrist, always loved the game, always had a laugh playing with friends, and now my tattoo is a constant reminder of really happy times that I don't ever want to forget.
I don't see how anyone can judge people just because they made a choice to have a certain tattoo, get over it, its not like the tattoo is on you, is it? I just don't see how it affects any of us, what someone else has done to their own skin, its not like these are offensive or anything. Enough said to be honest
Tattoos - silly, very silly. The ones that really annoy me are the ones added because of the onset of Alzheimer's disease or at least I presume that is why people add tattoos of the names (in english or otherwise) or faces of their loved ones to remember them. If it is personal to you then remember one thing - Only you care about it so why display it for all to see who don't care. Which brings me to my last tattoo gripe.
Why oh why then are there tattoos that nobody will see because of the delicate position on the fool's person?
I invite the case for the defence because even cavemen used walls to do their scribbling - are people with tattoos then no smarter than the neanderthal man?

San Diego
The Most Beautiful City in the USA — Round America
by admin on Jan.10, 2009, under California, Places to Go, San Diego
Round America spends the day in San Diego, California. Of the 626 towns that we had now seen on this trip, Savannah and San Diego are way at the top of the list for most beautiful city.
If you've been to San Diego California, you know. If you haven't been, you have undoubtedly heard how beautiful it is. Well, it's even more beautiful than that! The sky and water are always azure blue. Most of the buildings seem to be crisp white. And the trees and plants and flowers combine a beautiful green with the other colors of the rainbow. An important part of the beauty is due to the lush vegetation here; it must be the perfect climate and soil for making every tree and plant look healthy and beautiful.
Of the 626 towns that we had now seen on this trip, Savannah and San Diego are way at the top of the list for most beautiful city. The two are as different as can be. You might have to give San Diego the edge because of the weather here. 68 degrees most of the day with brilliant blue sky and bright sunshine.
Barbara asked Linh at the Marriott Courtyard this morning what it's like to live in a place that is so beautiful with such an incredible climate. She loves it, but she said people here take the climate and beauty for granted; they expect it to be sunny and beautiful every day. Linh noted that there is a big trade-off to living in a place like this. The cost-of-living here is sky high, and most people who live here know they will never own a home, as they just can't afford one.
As we got dressed this morning, we saw on Fox News that ships were returning to the San Diego Naval Base from the Iraq War. Three guesses where we went. We tried to get on the base to wave and shake hands and hug soldiers, but a female in fatigues with a machine gun would not let us in. I tried to take a picture of the lovely entrance area, but she told me I couldn't. Once again, I was wishing Rose had been there to help. I drove away, but after hooking a U and driving past the base again, I snapped a photo. We also stopped and spoke with some of the ABC TV folks who were there to cover the event. I was close to Fort Bliss when the POW's returned there, and I regretted not heading there for a few photos, so we didn't want to let this opportunity pass today.
What we saw of the Naval Base was very impressive. We were very close to the border of Mexico at Tijuana, but we didn't want to spend any of our San Diego time in Mexico.
Flags and yellow ribbons are everywhere in San Diego. We always saw this in military towns. I didn't realize San Diego had so much military, but it's everywhere — naval bases, naval air stations, combat training centers, and on and on.
There is no way to see San Diego in one day, but that's all we had, so we made the best of it. To others, we would recommend several days, and begin with a trolley tour that covers the main sights in the city, and then explore on your own after that.
We started in Balboa Park, and we took a trolley ride around the park. Rick Diaz was our driver/tour guide. Balboa Park is filled with fabulous museums, beautiful buildings, and gorgeous trees and flowers. I asked Rick if San Diego has anything like the world's largest ball of twine, and he laughed. Then he showed us the Spreckels Organ — the world's largest outdoor organ and/or musical instrument. It has 4,530 pipes. Mighty impressive. Then Rick told us a story about his gall bladder surgery. The gall stone removed was about the size of a golf ball; he has it in a jar at his home. He was quite the celebrity when he went to the lab to get it; all the medical folks wanted to come out and see the guy who produced such a monster. All of us on the bus decided it MUST BE the world's largest gall stone, so that gives San Diego two world's largests. I told Rick that in a number of towns across America, he could open a museum in his home and make money charging admission to see his stone.
That got me to thinking that perhaps there is a better use for the collection of over 100 hotel shampoo bottles that I was amassing from the journey. Instead of auctioning them on eBay, maybe Bozzie Jane and I should open a museum to display them…or donate them to a place like Sponge-O-Rama or Harry and the Natives.
Anyway, we had a lot of laughs with Rick. We learned that he is an actor and singer. You can hear his music at www.tahoecitymusic.com. Rick Diaz. He was also in a movie that was about to be released.
We met Allen, Bill, and Walter at the Balboa Park Visitor's Center. We had a nice chat, and when Bill commented on the beads I was wearing, he asked if we had been to Mardi Gras. No, I explained that the beads were a gift from the Floating Neutrinos. Then I told them the whole story of meeting Poppa and Aurelia Neutrino (Day 18). I explained that I don't normally wear beads, but I am a little superstitious, and I figured anyone who floats on a raft from New York to Spain and lives to tell about it has some good luck going on, so I will continue to wear the beads. Bill then took off his Hawaiian Lei and gave it to me. How nice! It matched my outfit really well. My beads are green, purple, and white, and now I had a lovely purple, green, and yellow lei to wear with the beads. I did notice the stares from men became a little more shocked-looking once I added the lei. It may be a little too much color for most men. Some guys just can't wear purple.
Coronado, California was our next stop. We drove over the San Diego — Coronado Bay Bridge, and we saw the Hotel Del Coronado, a massive place that is really something. It's a Victorian-style hotel built in 1887, and it is one of America's largest wooden buildings.
We met Steve, a Coronado lifeguard. Great guy. He gave us several recommendations on places to go and things to see. I asked him whether any Baywatch-looking babes worked on the beach in Coronado, and I believe the answer was no. He said we missed the rescue of a sick little sea lion that morning; the folks from Sea World came to get it so they can nurse it back to health.
We met a man named Bill after he saw the signs on our car. I gave him some information about Big Bend as he and his wife are planning a visit there, and he told us to get ready because we will love Sedona, Arizona.
Barbara had the honor of picking a lunch spot. We had pizza at Island Pasta. It was nice sitting out on the sidewalk, and Sharon our waitress was a lot of fun to talk with, but we prefer Domino's.
We saw the San Diego Convention Center, the stadium where the San Diego Padres play, and Gaslamp Quarter — a downtown area filled with neat restaurants and shops. We also stopped to see KC Barbeque, where scenes from "Top Gun" were filmed. And we saw Seaport Village — another shopping area catering to tourists.
Old Town San Diego is the area where California and San Diego were first settled. There are wonderful old, authentic buildings there, but virtually all of them have been turned into gift shops. Not as bad as Tombstone, but not what we expected.
Mission Beach is the home of Belmont Park. Nice beach and a cute little Coney Island-like area with a big wooden roller coaster. On the boardwalk there, we met Malene, Tanya, Sonja, and Astra. They're from Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, and they were here for a year attending a language school. They asked me to take their photo with their camera, and I was happy to do so. I did tell Sonja of Germany that when she goes home, she needs to tell everyone in Germany that the Americans are great people, and their country needs to support us. She wasn't buying it. But she was certainly happy to be taking advantage of the opportunity to learn from teachers in the US….
Next up was a drive through La Jolla — the ritzy area of San Diego. Lovely restaurants and shops.
From La Jolla, we headed to Point Loma — the very tip of San Diego out in the Pacific Ocean. We saw the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, Point Loma, and several Top Secret military installations. We were able to get some San Diego skyline photos from Point Loma. What a gorgeous city! We had planned to shoot sunset photos from Point Loma, but there were signs that indicated the area was closed and we weren't supposed to be there. There were other cars in there with us, but I could just see that female sailor in fatigues with the machine gun picking me out of the crowd Vincent Passarelli-like as the one to nail for trespassing. So, we headed for Ocean Beach.
Ocean Beach has the longest pier on the West Coast, so we took some photos from the shore and then snapped pics all the way out to the end of the pier and then back on shore. It was an excellent place to shoot the sunset, and it is the first time in 25 days that we have had an unobstructed view of the sun as it disappeared on the horizon. I did learn that the automatic focus on the camera malfunctions if the very center of the camera is pointed directly at the sun, so I lost some good photos.
We were too tired to go out to dinner, so we decided to hit In-N-Out Burger again! Outstanding!
We should all appreciate what we have. It's hard to believe that people who live in such an amazingly beautiful place with a great climate would take it for granted, but many apparently do. This lesson was also conveyed to us today when we knew that just a few feet away brave men and women were returning from a war fought for the purpose of protecting our country and our liberties. We should all appreciate what we have as Americans. And then there's my traveling partner — back on duty. As is all too often the case, I know I appreciated her more when she was gone, but I was mighty happy to have her back.
Random Comments:
We kept asking, but we didn't find anything really quirky in San Diego. That means there's an opportunity there. If Rick decides to open a museum with his gall stone, then Boz and I would consider donating our shampoo collection to help get it started.
I received a number of emails telling me how ugly my shoes are. After 25 days on the road, perhaps I have lost all perspective, but they don't look THAT ugly to me. I'm definitely into comfort at this point.
Here are all the photos from Day 25 of the Round America 50-State Trip:
Two Worlds — Round America
by admin on Apr.24, 2003, under Arizona, California, Dateland, Eloy, Felicity, Imperial, Places to Go, San Diego, Tucson, Yuma
Round America travels from Tucson, Arizona to Dateland, Eloy, Felicity, and Imperial on the way to San Diego, California. It was a long drive, but there were some "incredible" sights to see.
The day was spent making the LONG drive from Tucson to San Diego, but cactus, a surprise find in Eloy, Dateland's famous Date Milkshake, Yuma, and the Center of the World in Felicity still made for an interesting "travel day." But the big news of the day is that Barbara Jane Gray Windsor, better known as Boz, Bozzie, or Bozzie Jane, has returned from granddaughter Madison duties in Atlanta. Mighty nice to have her back. This is a two-person deal for sure!
I drove close to 500 miles today — from Tucson, Arizona to San Diego, California.
Blue sky, sunshine, and 75 degrees as I hit the road.
I met John and Zach Davenport, policeman Reuben, and Ian at PostNet when I stopped to ship a huge box of stuff back to Atlanta. I also met Elizabeth Linville and an assistant at the Check Advance check cashing service next door, and Ian the honest eBayer who was complaining that someone had unfairly given him negative feedback. I hit Donut Wheel for breakfast-for-the-road, and the donuts were excellent.
I decided to swing by Old Tucson on the way out of town, but when I got to the Saguaro National Park, the only access was a dirt road, and I decided against any car abuse after just having the little white car serviced and cleaned. I did see some nice desert and cactus in the Park.
At my first gas stop, I met biker Tom Curry from Dyersburg, Tennessee. He informed me that Bristol, Tennessee is closer to Canada than to Memphis, Tennessee. I gave $2 to Jim Bob, a man on the side of the road with a sign asking for help.
The only route from Tucson to California is interstate. So, I was rolling down the interstate through Eloy, Arizona when I spotted pastel green and pink ski lift-like gondola cars mounted on poles. Then I saw what appeared to be a "sculpture" of a pink race car of some type with giant tires. The little white car knows what to do in such cases…so off at the next exit and U-turning back we go. I began to see other strange-looking "sculptures." I wasn't sure you would call these sculptures, but I didn't know what else to call them. I snapped a couple of photos and then decided to investigate further.
I got off the interstate access road and drove around until I found an entrance gate of sorts. I had a better vantage point of the place from there. There was no sign or name, so I am calling it "Eloy World" until I learn more. It appeared to be sandy desert land, perhaps several hundred acres, with sculptures scattered about as well as trucks, farm equipment, and fire engines painted with similar pastel colors and positioned in a way that I feel someone saw them as art.
I ran into a man driving a truck who only spoke Spanish. I then saw a utility company pickup, and I met Jim and his lovely daughter, Whitley (who loves Colton). It was Take Your Daughter to Work Day. Jim advised me that this had been built to be a theme park by an eccentric man, but no one came. He figured no one would care if I took some photos.
I drove in a ways and began taking photos. An older man in a big, floppy straw hat (the type usually worn by a woman) waved me down and came over in a giant dump truck. His name was Dick. I asked if it was okay if I took a few photos, and he said yes. I asked if he was the owner, and he said "unfortunately." He declined to let me take his photo, but I did snap a shot of the truck as he drove off. I wish he would have spoken with me as I would love to know the story behind this whole deal. I decided I would have to investigate further for the book.
The internet made the investigation easy. To Yahoo I went, entered "Eloy, Arizona amusement park," and up came information. "Eloy World" was actually known as Family Fun World. The man I met was Richard (Dick) Songers. It seems he was a solid, hard-working construction man from Michigan with a dream. He wanted to turn the land he bought in 1995 for $165,000 into a scrap-metal-bedecked amusement park and drive-thru, wild-animal zoo with a water ride, a race car track, and a concert stage. He ran out of money, and in October 2001, he auctioned off whatever anyone would buy. Some of the items up for auction included a couple of oil rigs from the heart of Texas, old fire trucks that no longer worked, a set of kiddy carnival rides and – last but not least – three painted trailers portraying an old, western town. A few of these items sold, though Dick apparently did not find buyers for much of what he had.
Sometimes we get an idea in our heads, and we either don't listen to others when they tell us it's a bad idea, or folks aren't open enough to tell us. BTDT. The thought crossed my mind that the oddly dressed woman I saw in downtown Tucson could be Dick's wife.
I enjoyed "Eloy World," because it is one of those strange, unexpected sights that just appear out of nowhere. Most of the day was spent with highway straight ahead and flat desert to either side of the car as I drove much faster than I have for the last 24 days.
Dateland, Arizona was my next stop — 122 miles from Eloy World. I had heard about their Date Shakes, so I had to have one. I also had a piece of Date Pie. Sheryl was my waitress. I enjoyed the shake. I've had much better pie.
Another hour down the road, and I spotted a Radio Shack just off the highway in Yuma, Arizona. Raul fixed me up with the fourth tape recorder of the trip. Radio Shack stood behind the one that jammed, so I got this one quickly and easily for free. It might have been an ordeal at many other stores.
I detoured off the highway to visit the Yuma Proving Ground. This is where the US Army tests all types of equipment.
I reached the gates of the Yuma Territorial Prison State Park just after 5, just after the old prison closed for the day. I saw signs for "historic downtown Yuma," and I decided to check it out. It appeared that they roll up the sidewalks at 5 pm in Yuma.
California became our ninth state just a few miles down the road. It had taken 6,979 miles to drive from Atlanta to the border of California.
Just inside the state, I saw a sign for Felicity, California, and I exited on "Center of the World Drive." Believe it or not, a man convinced several countries and this county to name Felicity, California the Center of the World. He built an impressive pink granite pyramid to mark the precise spot.
The whole place clearly ranks as the strangest sight we'd seen. It was truly spooky. The first thing I saw was a set of metal stairs extending up in the sky to absolutely nothing. It seems these are old stairs previously used at the Eiffel Tower. Then I saw a little shed that was signed "Felicity Train Depot," but there were no train tracks to be found. I also saw a sand pit that was signed "Desert Bowling," as well as a giant gravel checkerboard. The next sight was a sundial featuring Michaelangelo's arm. Around the pyramid building were two big long (maybe 150-feet each) granite walls with various names cut into the granite as you would see at any big national monument. But the wall I saw had the names of the graduates from the Princeton graduating class of 1949. There wasn't a person in sight, and I kept looking behind myself to see if someone was going to throw a blanket over my head and carry me off to the cult leader. I jogged back to the car and drove quickly away. Strange, strange place! You know what they say about California — Land of the Fruit and NUTS.
The last 150 miles across the Southern tip of California would have been interesting to see, but the sun set just past the center of the world. I did manage to get a photo of the incredible dunes near the town of Imperial, California. Due to the loss of the sun, I amended the route to stay on the interstate rather than drive along the border with Mexico.
Bozzie Jane called to say her flight had landed as I pulled into the San Diego, California airport. How great it is to have her back. We hit the In-N-Out Burger for a late dinner of cheeseburgers and fries. In-N-Out is a California chain, but not a franchise. Everything was fresh and fantastic. They do not even have freezers. The entire operation is exceptional. We were extremely impressed with the food, the cleanliness, and the quality of the crew running the place.
As I reflected on the day, I realized we should listen when others tell us our ideas are crazy. It's no fun to think or say "unfortunately" when someone asks if you are the owner, and it's even less fun to have to sell off your trailers with paintings of an old western town on the side just to pay a few bills to try to stay afloat. As to the Center of the World, I'm just speechless.
Here are all the photos from Day 24 of the Round America 50-State Trip:

Don't Be a Square -- Dance!
July 9, 2001 -- "Bow to your partner, bow to your corner, circle left, alemand left ... swing and promenade home."
In squares of eight across the country, Americans from senior-citizen age on down are linking arms, sashaying, and "do-si-doing" themselves to longer, healthier, and happier lives. They're having a blast and also lowering their risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, age-related memory loss, osteoporosis, and depression.
Good for Body and Mind
With all its moving, twisting, and turning, square dancing provides more than the daily dose of heart- and bone-healthy physical activity. Remembering all the calls -- from "do-si-do" to 'alemand' -- keeps the mind sharp, potentially staving off age-related memory loss, experts say. And the companionship that regular square dancing offers is an antidote to depression and loneliness, a statement confirmed by square-dancing advocates everywhere.
Take Larry McKinley, a 62-year-old who has been square dancing for 30-plus years with his wife, Sue -- who, incidentally, he met at a square dance. "We do it as often as we can, maybe five or six times a week," he tells WebMD.
"The listening -- and executing the commands -- takes deep concentration. The twisting and turning are not too hard on you, but give your body the exercise that it needs," he says.
McKinley's club, the London Bridge Square Dance Club of Lake Havasu, Ariz., has 80 members, and the average age of a member is 75.
"We recently graduated an 84-year-old," he says. "Graduated," in square-dancing terms, means the student has earned a Mainstream dance level.
There are four levels of square dancing, McKinley tells WebMD. There's Mainstream, then there's Plus, followed by the more professional, exhibition-levels, A-1 and A-2. McKinley is a Plus-level square dancer.
"It's very easy once you learn," he says. "Years ago, I was getting a divorce and didn't want to be a bump on a barstool." That's when he went to his first dance and got hooked.
"It's just so much fun. Square dancing is setting friendship to music," he says. "It's having a place to get up and go in the evening where you can work up a good tired and a good sweat."
'If You Can Walk, You Can Square Dance'
McKinley knows what he's talking about. Square dancing contributes to a more healthy and independent lifestyle, says Lewis Maharam, MD, a sports medicine specialist in New York City and president of the Greater New York Regional Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine.
"Anything that keeps you active will keep you healthier and feeling younger. In most cases if you can walk, you can square dance, but it's good advice to talk to your doctor before beginning any new exercise regimen," says Maharam, also medical director of the Suzuki Rock 'n' Roll Marathon® in San Diego, the Country Music Marathonâ¢, and the New York City Marathon.

McDaniels working with young Patriots receiversThe Associated Press | July 30,2013AP Photo
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, center, walks with quarterbacks Tom Brady, right, and Tim Tebow during Mondays practice in Foxborough, Mass.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Its back to basics for New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and his new group of young receivers.
Gone are four wide receivers aged 32 and over who caught passes for them last season. Now six of their 12 players at that position are rookies.
All of us coaches enjoy teaching so much, McDaniels said Monday. Its different when youre coaching players that havent heard it before and you have to tell yourself to start from the beginning and continue to progress slowly because you cant just assume anything, and weve really tried to do that.
First come the fundamentals. Then theres the gradual process of installing the offensive system. The Patriots are just getting started with opening day less than six weeks away.
Our offense has never been the same two years in a row, McDaniels said. The system, hopefully, is broad enough that we can use the skills that our players have to the best of their ability and we try to put them in position to be successful with whomevers out there on the field. Weve had to do it a lot of different ways over the course of time. And whatever that way is, were not real sure yet. That will develop over the course of the next month.
Second-round draft pick Aaron Dobson has a shot at one of the starting spots. The other belongs to Danny Amendola, who also is getting used to the offensive system after being signed as a free agent from the St. Louis Rams.
The other five rookie wide receivers are fourth-round pick Josh Boyce and free agents Mark Harrison, Kenbrell Thompkins, Quentin Sims and Perez Ashford.
Right now were really trying to stress the fundamentals, wide receivers coach Chad OShea said.
Obviously, the scheme is very important as we move forward, but nothing is more important right now than being fundamentally sound at the receiver position.
For quarterback Tom Brady, entering his 14th season, its a challenge late in his career to teach a bunch of players more than 10 years younger than he is.
Its a challenge that Brady welcomes.
We have a pretty smart group of guys, which is a positive. Hopefully, they will keep being smart, he said with a chuckle.
And he doesnt want to be too harsh with a young group under plenty of pressure already just to make the team.
I dont want to be the grumpy old guy (with the receivers), and I think theres a need for patience, Brady said, but everyone must understand theres some urgency.
He can be more direct with last years wide receivers Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Donte Stallworth, all 32 now, Deion Branch, 34, and Julian Edelman, 27, who could start the season on the physically unable to perform list.
Tight end Rob Gronkowski also could be on that list. And tight end Aaron Hernandez, arrested on a murder charge, and running back Danny Woodhead, who signed with the San Diego Chargers after catching 40 passes, wont be back.
Theres so many different things that happen each year, McDaniels said. I dont know if Ive ever coached one season where we didnt have to deal with it, whether it was injuries or the loss of a player for a year. We lost Brady in 2008 to a knee injury.
But hes hopeful the Patriots can adjust their offense to take advantage of their strengths.
Weve had years where our tight ends recently have been really a big part of our pass offense, he said. Weve had years where our tight ends werent a focal point of the offense.
Thats why I hope that the offense has enough versatility and flexibility built within it so that we can do what we need to do to win with the players that we have.
Notes: Tim Tebow spent part of Monday nights practice on special teams as the last blocker in front of the punter. The Patriots want him just to go out there and take advantage of the opportunities that he has, McDaniels said. Hes putting in a lot of time and effort into trying to improve his individual skill set to play the position of quarterback in our offense. ... Former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi spoke to the team on the field minutes after being inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. Also inducted was broadcaster Gil Santos, who retired after last season, his 36th as the Patriots play-by-play announcer. ... The team held its annual practice for season ticket holders inside Gillette Stadium.MORE IN Wire SportsCHARLOTTE, N.C.
