Days in November and baking for Christmas - mincemeat recipe for perfect traditional mince pies
By: Maggie Griffin | Published Wednesday, June 12, 2013, 2:13 PM | Updated Wednesday, June 12, 2013, 2:13 PM
Delicious Christmas mince pies
A typical November day, cold but not freezing, some sprinkles of rain after a deluge the night before, slightly grey but with a hint of sun trying to squeeze through. Christmas baking and lots of past November days floated into my mind. Funny what acts as a trigger.
Memories of stirring the pudding in one of those big mustard yellow ceramic bowls with the creamy interior. The youngest in the family stirred last, made a wish and was sworn to secrecy.
The smell of the cake baking, the newspaper wrapped around it singeing and giving off that distinctive smell. (Both my mother and grandmother did this to stop the cake burning at the edges and not baking evenly.)
A warm kitchen slightly steamy but full of glorious promise. The excitement of the countdown.
I continued on the tradition with my children in the hope that they will continue it with theirs.
Most of the joy of Christmas is the anticipation; but why have all the Christmas baking for just one day or just the week? Why not enjoy it when you will really appreciate it? Make some mince pies with delicious homemade mincemeat.
Mincemeat Recipe
75g dates stoned and chopped
250g currants
250g raisins
250g sultanas
75g cherries
100g candied peel
75g chopped almonds
75g unsulphured dried apricots chopped
4 tablespoons of brandy
150g butter
1 large cooking apple grated
zest and juice of an orange and lemon
150g muscovado sugar
some freshly grated nutmeg
1 cinnamon stick
5 whole cloves
Mix all the ingredients with the melted butter and cover. Leave in a large bowl overnight somewhere cool. Next day spoon into clean jam jars and cover tightly.
If you don't like a particular ingredient leave it out or substitute with something else.
This quantity will give you 3-4 large (500g) jars, enough to keep a couple for next year.
Using a sweet shortcrust pastry, cut out discs of pastry and fill with some mincemeat, cover with another disc. Dip your finger into a bowl of water and run it around the inside perimeter of the top disc. This helps seal the pastry. Brush with beaten egg and bake in a hot oven at 180 deg until browned. Cool and dust with icing sugar.

NHL Analyst Mike Milbury Charged With Assaulting 12-Year-Old
Tough guy Michael Milbury, the current NBC/NESN/HNIC analyst who is "famous" for hitting a Rangers fan with his own shoe, is being charged with one count of assault and battery on a 12-year-old youth hockey player, one count of threats to commit a crime, and disorderly conduct. The Boston Herald has the alleged details:
The incident allegedly occurred at the end of the Winter Classic between the Boch Blazers for whom Milbury coaches and his son plays forward vs. the Boston Junior Black Hawks. It is alleged that after Milbury's son and a player for the Black Hawks got into a scrape on the ice, Milbury charged out onto the rink and verbally berated and grabbed and shook the 12-year-old opposing player.
I mean, Milbury's heart had to be racing, his mind on his son's survival. TOTALLY REASONABLE. Now, we're left with a "smug" 12-year-old "who has become a bit of celebrity because he got shaken and just barely stirred. He should let it go. He likely won't."
UPDATE: NBC has pulled Milbury off the air while he deals with his "affairs." No word on the other gigs.

Harry Mason Reid (born December 2, 1939) is the senior United States Senator from Nevada, serving since 1987. A member of the Democratic Party, he has been the Senate Majority Leader since January 2007, having previously served as Minority Leader and Minority and Majority Whip.
Previously, Reid was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Nevada's 1st congressional district, and served in Nevada local and state government as city attorney of Henderson, a state legislator, Lieutenant Governor, and chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission.
Reid was born in Searchlight, Nevada, the third of the four sons of Inez Orena Jaynes, a laundress, and Harry Vincent Reid, a miner. His paternal grandmother was an English immigrant from Darlston, Staffordshire. Reid's boyhood home had no indoor toilet, hot water or telephone. Searchlight had no high school, so Reid boarded with relatives 40 miles away in Henderson, Nevada to attend Basic High School where he played football, and was an amateur boxer. While at Basic High he met future Nevada governor Mike O'Callaghan, who was a teacher there. Reid attended Southern Utah University and graduated from Utah State University. He then went to George Washington University Law School earning a J.D. while working for the United States Capitol Police.

Cross will soon shine once more above Bentonia
By JASON PATTERSON
Editor & Publisher
Many Bentonia residents were thrilled to see the new cross light up Wednesday evening, but that was just a test.
After an unsuccessful test on Tuesday, the cross facing north worked the next time. There were still problems with the side facing south, however.
"Only part of the south cross was shining, but we're going to send our tower climber back up as soon as possible to fix the problem," said Greg Horne, who helped start the effort to erect the crosses. "When we get all of the bugs worked out we will have a dedication ceremony, and the crossess will be visible every night."

SWIMBO and I got to do a sail on the Appledore in Key West last week. Great crew. Very entertaining. Attachment 1429

"If a man speaks at sea where no woman can hear, is he still wrong?"
Weren't there several Appledores?
Yes there were. This is the original. There was a nice book written about her circumnavigation back in the 70's or 80's.
"If a man speaks at sea where no woman can hear, is he still wrong?"
Not quite the original, she is the 2. The first was smaller and more yacht like (Do not know what happened to her). I have worked on the 5 which is also in Florida this winter and there is also now a 6 (though he want and called it Eastwind instead).
I think he served aboard CGC Eastwind, an icebreaker. I daysailed with him on one of the Appledores in Maine.
I sailed on Appledore IIi n Camden years back and had a lovely afternoon...all the more so for the free beer for helping hoist and hand the main... but yachtlike isn't exactly a word I would use to describe her condition then. The stench below was absolutely horrible.
"And then I think , who cares, we're just anthropological curiosities a mere second away from turning into fertilizer, might as well scratch and listen to music we like." John B
I sailed around the world with Herb, Doris and their two kids at the time on Appledore 3. Their current Eastwind (5, I think) is the same design. I recently saw Appledore 3 for sale in Rockport, MA
I took one of those afternoon cruises on her a few years ago and they let me steer her for a while - big fun. The wind was picking up on a fast reach and she was sleigh riding down the backs of some big swells to the point where the bow was kicking up massive amounts of spray when we hit the front of the next one, soaking all the passengers up front. Eventually cap'n told me to bear off and I was enjoying the nice feeling of a big heavy boat maintaining inertia through a slow turn when the first mate, who was half my age, commanded "A bit faster there sir!". For a brief moment I felt like a gentleman yachtsman piloting his own schooner.
We were there in 1986 on the way back. Appledore 2 may have been there at that time.
Appledore in Key West was in fine shape. There was some clear work being done on the rails. Rigging was all served properly. Sails were in good shape although well tallow stained as one would expect on a traditional gaff rig. Hoisting the sails was easily done by two. One on the gaff the other on the peak. Didn't detect any bilge odor below. Great crew.

Spring has sprung, and Easter is less than a month away! For some reason, we haven't done much for Easter in years past, and I want to change that this year. We always do an egg hunt for the kids, and we usually visit the Easter bunny at the mall, but this year I want to do more. I definitely want to color eggs, since this is something my kids have yet to experience.
This year, I would also like to do a little bit of Easter decorating. Thanks to Gemmy, our first Easter decoration went up this weekend in the form of a giant 7' Airblown Inflatable Easter Bunny. I can't think of any better Easter decoration than to have the Easter Bunny himself greeting us when we come home every day!
Celebrate Easter with the delightful Airblown Inflatable Easter Bunny by Gemmy! He's all dressed up, with a colorful bow tie and vest, ready to greet friends and family for a festive time. What's more, this most famous bunny of all is weather-resistant and self-inflates in seconds. And when Easter is over, he quickly deflates for easy storage.
Set up of this adorable bunny was simple. We removed it from the box and positioned him where we wanted in our yard, which of course was right in front of our house, and attached the plastic legs.
Once we had the bunny in place, we pushed the base stakes through the plastic legs and into the ground.
We then watched the Easter Bunny come to life. Once he was plugged in, he self-inflated in a matter of seconds.
Apparently we didn't have him positioned quite perfect, because he ended up a little sideways. He was easy to move though. We just popped the stakes up and turned him, and re-inserted the base stakes.
Once he was straightened out, we connected the nylon tethers to the loops on the sides of the bunny, attached the tethers, and then inserted the tethers into the ground. It was a little difficult to drive the tether stakes into the ground, so Brian used a hammer. Unfortunately, one of the stakes ended up bent.
The bent stake ended up being a non-issue, because Brian only used two of the tether stakes with one on each side. (The directions show using two on each side, but using only one worked fine for us.)
Rylie and Bryce were so excited to see the Airblown Easter Bunny in our front yard! They couldn't stop hugging him!
This gigantic bunny is not only a great decoration during the bright spring days, but he will light up your yard at night too!
What a fun decoration to have! Our Easter Bunny has already gotten my family into the spirit of Easter, and will likely have all of my neighbors joining in soon also!
The Airblown Inflatable Easter Bunny is available exclusively at all Walmart stores and Walmart.com for $45.97. Now come on, you know you want one! Visit Gemmy online to see their full collection of Easter decorations.

Disclosure: All opinions are my own. I received the Airblown Inflatable Easter Bunny at no cost for the purpose of this review. No other compensation was received. A big Thank You to Gemmy for providing the giveaway prize!

Haryana Public Relations Department Chief Rejects Internet Media
Today, I got chance to meet Mr. Sudhir Rajpal, Director General, Information and Public Relations, Haryana in his office but his assumption about omnipresent emerging media, Internet that too in Information age shocked me.
I started my conversation with him that his department should use internet media more frequently apart from other traditional platforms of mass communication to reach maximum he said, "Internet Ko Kon Dikhata Hain" (who watch internet).
After heard Mr. Rajpal views about all emerging Internet, I asked question from myself that was I sitting in front of Public Relations person whose prime official duty is to spread policies and vision of Chief Minister Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Haryana state which claims itself as number one state of India?
Mr. Rajpal is the person responsible to handle Public Relations of Chief Minister Mr. Hooda's vision and his Government policies in maximum platforms of mass communication but as he don't recognize the emerging power of Internet (Online) as media is harming Chief Minister Mr. Hooda and Haryana Government among netizens which is mostly consist of youngsters( the biggest section of India's population and of Indian democracy).
Also in era where Prime Minister of India and most of the other Public Offices and authorities are officially joining Social Media like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc after recognizing the growing power of internet among citizens especially youngsters to convey their policies and plans, contrary to this Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda led Haryana's Public Relations department Chief do not considers Internet as media?
And further Mr. Rajpal raised question mark over Mr. Hooda's Government Information Technology department claims about expansion of Information and communication Technology infrastructure in the state when he said that mostly Haryana People do not use Internet to get information.
Last not the least as an Online Research Journalist who is working for last 10 year to establish and expend internet media as full-fledged media in India pained me to meet such a Public Relations personality that too of the state which claims itself as number one state in India than what we expect from other?
I Pray God will save Mr. Hooda and his government from such Public Relations Person

Spinal tumor
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/spinal-tumor/DS00594
Spinal cord tumor |
A spinal tumor is a cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign) growth that develops within or near your spinal cord or within the bones of your spine. Although back pain is the most common symptom of a spinal tumor, it's also an extremely common problem in people who don't have spinal tumors. In fact, most back pain isn't caused by a tumor.
A spinal tumor or a growth of any kind can affect nerves in the area of the tumor, leading to pain, neurological problems and sometimes paralysis. Whether cancerous or not, a spinal tumor can threaten life and cause permanent disability.
Treatment for a spinal tumor may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or other medications.
Depending on the location and type of spinal tumor, various signs and symptoms can develop, especially as a tumor grows and affects your spinal cord or on the nerve roots, blood vessels or bones of your spine. Spinal tumor symptoms may include:
- Back pain, often radiating to other parts of your body
- Loss of sensation or muscle weakness, especially in your arms or legs
- Difficulty walking, sometimes leading to falls
- Decreased sensitivity to pain, heat and cold
- Loss of bowel or bladder function
- Paralysis that may occur in varying degrees and in different parts of your body, depending on which nerves are compressed
Back pain is a common symptom of both noncancerous and cancerous spinal tumors. Pain may also spread beyond your back to your hips, legs, feet or arms and may become more severe over time in spite of treatment.
Spinal tumors progress at different rates. In general, cancerous spinal tumors grow more quickly, whereas noncancerous spinal tumors tend to develop very slowly.
When to see a doctor
There are many causes of back pain, and most back pain isn't caused by a spinal tumor. But because early diagnosis and treatment are important for spinal tumors, see your doctor about your back pain if:
- It's persistent and progressive
- It's not activity related
- It gets worse at night
- You have a history of cancer and develop new back pain
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness or numbness in your legs
- Changes in bowel or bladder function
Spinal anatomy | |
Nervous system | |
Spinal cord tumor |
It's not clear why most spinal tumors develop. Experts suspect that defective genes play a role, although it's usually not known whether such genetic defects are inherited, occur spontaneously or are caused by something in the environment, such as exposure to certain chemicals. In some cases, however, spinal tumors are linked to known inherited syndromes, such as neurofibromatosis 2 and von Hippel-Lindau disease.
The parts of your spine that are likely to be affected by a spinal tumor include the:
- Vertebrae. Your spine is made up of small bones (vertebrae) stacked on top of one another that enclose and protect the spinal cord and its nerve roots.
- Spinal cord. Your spinal cord is a double-layered, long column of nerve fibers that carries messages to and from your brain. Wrapped around the entire spinal cord are three protective membranes (meninges).
Types of spinal tumors
Spinal tumors are classified according to their location in the spine.
Extradural (vertebral) tumors. Most tumors that affect the vertebrae have spread (metastasized) to the spine from another site in the body — often the prostate, breast, lung or kidney. Although the original (primary) cancer is usually diagnosed before back problems develop, back pain may be the first symptom of disease in people with metastatic spinal tumors.
Cancerous tumors that begin in the bones of the spine are far less common. Among these are osteosarcomas (osteogenic sarcomas) and Ewing's sarcoma, a particularly aggressive tumor that affects young adults. Multiple myeloma is a cancerous disease of the bone marrow — the spongy inner part of the bone that makes blood cells. Noncancerous tumors, such as osteoid osteomas, osteoblastomas and hemangiomas, also can develop in the bones of the spine.
- Intradural-extramedullary tumors. These tumors develop in the spinal cord's arachnoid membrane (meningiomas) and in the nerve roots that extend out from the spinal cord (schwannomas and neurofibromas). These tumors may be cancerous or noncancerous.
- Intramedullary tumors. These tumors begin in the supporting cells within the spinal cord. Most are either astrocytomas or ependymomas. Intramedullary tumors can be either noncancerous or cancerous. In rare cases, tumors from other parts of the body can metastasize to the spinal cord itself.
Risk factors
Spinal cord tumors are more common in people who have:
- Neurofibromatosis 2. In this hereditary disorder, noncancerous tumors develop on or near the nerves related to hearing, which may lead to progressive hearing loss in one or both ears. Some people with neurofibromatosis 2 also develop tumors in the spinal cord.
- Von Hippel-Lindau disease. This rare, multisystem disorder is associated with noncancerous blood vessel tumors (hemangioblastomas) in the brain, retina and spinal cord and with other types of tumors in the kidneys or adrenal glands.
- A compromised immune system. Spinal cord lymphomas — cancers that affect lymphocytes, a type of immune cell — are more common in people whose immune systems are compromised by medications or disease.
- A prior history of cancer. Any type of cancer can travel to the spine, but the cancers that may be more likely to affect the spine include breast, lung, prostate and multiple myeloma.
Both noncancerous and cancerous spinal tumors can compress spinal nerves, leading to a loss of movement or sensation below the level of the tumor and sometimes to changes in bowel and bladder function. Nerve damage may be permanent. However, if caught early and treated aggressively, it may be possible to regain nerve function. Depending on its location, a tumor that impinges on the spinal cord itself may be life-threatening.
Preparing for your appointment
If you have symptoms that are common to spinal tumors — such as persistent, unexplained back pain, weakness or numbness in your legs, or changes in your bowel or bladder function, call your doctor promptly. After your doctor examines you, you may be referred to a doctor who is trained to diagnose and treat cancer (oncologist) or brain and spinal cord conditions (neurologist, neurosurgeon or spine surgeon).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from the doctor.
What you can do
- Write down any symptoms you've been experiencing and for how long.
- List your key medical information, including all conditions you have and the names of any prescription and over-the-counter medications you're taking.
- Note any family history of brain or spinal tumors, especially in a first-degree relative, such as a parent or sibling.
- Take a family member or friend along. Sometimes it can be difficult to remember all of the information provided to you during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
Questions to ask your doctor at your initial appointment include:
- What may be causing my symptoms?
- Are there any other possible causes?
- What kinds of tests do I need? Do these tests require any special preparation?
- What do you recommend for next steps in determining my diagnosis and treatment?
- Should I see a specialist?
Questions to ask an oncologist or neurologist include:
- Do I have a spinal tumor?
- What type of tumor do I have?
- Is the tumor noncancerous or cancerous?
- If the tumor is cancerous, how aggressive is it?
- What are the goals of my treatment?
- Am I a candidate for surgery? What are the risks?
- Am I a candidate for radiation? What are the risks?
- Is there a role for chemotherapy?
- What treatment approach do you recommend?
- If the first treatment isn't successful, what will we try next?
- What is the outlook for my condition?
- Do I need a second opinion?
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask any additional questions that may come up during your appointment.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Thinking about your answers ahead of time can help you make the most of your appointment. A doctor who sees you for a possible spinal tumor may ask:
- What are your symptoms?
- When did you first notice these symptoms?
- Have your symptoms gotten worse over time?
- If you have pain, where does the pain seem to start?
- Does the pain spread to other parts of your body?
- Have you participated in any activities that might explain the pain, such as new exercise or a long stretch of gardening?
- Have you experienced any weakness or numbness in your legs?
- Have you had any difficulty walking?
- Have you had any problems with your bladder or bowel function?
- Have you been diagnosed with any other medical conditions?
- Are you currently taking any over-the-counter or prescription medications?
- Do you have any family history of noncancerous or cancerous spinal tumors?
Tests and diagnosis
Spinal tumors sometimes may be overlooked because they're not common and because their symptoms resemble those of more common conditions. For that reason, it's especially important that your doctor know your complete medical history and perform both general physical and neurological exams. If your doctor suspects a spinal tumor, one or more of the following tests can help confirm the diagnosis and pinpoint the tumor's location:
Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI uses a powerful magnet and radio waves to produce images of your spine. MRI accurately shows the spinal cord and nerves and yields better pictures of bone tumors than computerized tomography (CT) scans do. A contrast agent that helps to highlight certain tissues and structures may be injected into a vein in your hand or forearm during the test.
Some people may feel claustrophobic inside the MRI scanner or find the loud thumping sound it makes disturbing. But you're usually given earplugs to help with the noise, and some scanners are equipped with televisions or headphones. If you're very anxious, ask your doctor about a mild sedative to help calm you.
- Computerized tomography (CT). This test uses a narrow beam of radiation to produce detailed images of your spine. Sometimes it may be combined with an injected contrast dye to make abnormal changes in the spinal canal or spinal cord easier to see.
- Myelogram. In this test, a contrast dye is injected into your spinal column. The dye then circulates around your spinal cord and spinal nerves, making them easier to see on an X-ray or CT scan. Because the test poses more risks than does an MRI or conventional CT, a myelogram is usually not the first choice for diagnosis. However, it may be used to help identify compressed nerves and for those who can't have an MRI.
- Biopsy. The only way to determine whether a tumor is noncancerous or cancerous is to examine a small tissue sample (biopsy) under a microscope. If the tumor is cancerous, biopsy also helps determine the cancer's grade — information that helps determine treatment options. Grade 1 cancers are generally the least aggressive, and grade 4 cancers, the most aggressive. How the sample is obtained depends on your overall health and the location of the tumor. Your doctor may use a fine needle to withdraw a small amount of tissue, or the sample may be obtained during surgery.
Treatments and drugs
Ideally, the goal of spinal tumor treatment is to eliminate the tumor completely, but this goal may be complicated by the risk of permanent damage to the surrounding nerves. Doctors also must take into account your age, overall health, the type of tumor, and whether it is primary or has spread to your spine from elsewhere in your body.
Treatment options for most spinal tumors include:
- Monitoring. Some spinal tumors may be discovered before they cause symptoms — often when you're being evaluated for another condition. If small tumors are noncancerous and aren't growing or pressing on surrounding tissues, watching them carefully may be all that's needed. This is especially true in older adults for whom surgery or radiation therapy may pose special risks. If you decide not to receive treatment for a spinal tumor, your doctor will likely recommend periodic scans to monitor the tumor.
Surgery. This is often the treatment of choice for tumors that can be removed with an acceptable risk of nerve damage. Newer techniques and instruments allow neurosurgeons to reach tumors that were once considered inaccessible. The high-powered microscopes used in microsurgery make it easier to distinguish tumor from healthy tissue. Doctors also can test different nerves during surgery with electrodes, thus minimizing nerve damage. In some instances, they may use sound waves to break up tumors and remove the fragments. However, even with advances in treatment, not all tumors can be removed completely.
When the tumor can't be removed completely, surgery may be combined with chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Recovery from spinal surgery may take weeks or longer, depending on the procedure, and you may experience a temporary loss of sensation or other complications, including bleeding and damage to nerve tissue.
Standard radiation therapy. This may be used following an operation to eliminate the remnants of tumors that can't be completely removed or to treat inoperable tumors. It also may be the first line therapy for metastatic tumors. Radiation may also be used to relieve pain or when surgery poses too great a risk.
Medications can help some of the side effects of radiation, such as nausea and vomiting. And depending on the type of tumor, your doctor may be able to modify your therapy to help prevent damage to surrounding tissue and improve the treatment's effectiveness. Modifications may range from simply changing the dosage of radiation you receive to using sophisticated techniques that offer better protection to healthy tissue, such as 3-D conformal radiation therapy.
- Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). This newer method of delivering radiation is capable of delivering a high dose of precisely targeted radiation. In SRS, doctors use computers to focus radiation beams on tumors with pinpoint accuracy and from multiple angles. This approach has proved effective in the treatment of brain tumors, and research is now under way to determine the best technique, radiation dose and schedule for SRS in the treatment of spinal tumors.
- Chemotherapy. A standard treatment for many types of cancer, chemotherapy uses medications to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing. Your doctor can determine whether chemotherapy might be beneficial for you, either alone or in combination with radiation therapy. Side effects may include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, increased risk of infection and hair loss.
- Other drugs. Because surgery and radiation therapy as well as tumors themselves can cause inflammation inside the spinal cord, doctors sometimes prescribe corticosteroids to reduce the swelling, either following surgery or during radiation treatments. Although corticosteroids reduce inflammation, they are usually used only for short periods to avoid such serious side effects as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, diabetes and an increased susceptibility to infection.
Alternative medicine
Although there aren't any alternative medicines that have been proved to cure cancer, some alternative or complementary treatments may help relieve some of your symptoms.
One such treatment is acupuncture. During acupuncture treatment, a practitioner inserts tiny needles into your skin at precise points. Research shows that acupuncture may be helpful in relieving nausea and vomiting. Acupuncture may also help relieve certain types of pain in people with cancer.
Be sure to discuss the risks and benefits of complementary or alternative treatment that you're thinking of trying with your doctor. Some treatments, such as herbal remedies, could interfere with medicines you're taking.
Coping and support
Learning that you have a spinal tumor can be overwhelming. But you can take steps to cope after your diagnosis. Consider trying to:
- Find out all you can about your specific spinal tumor. Write down your questions and bring them to your appointments. As your doctor answers your questions, take notes or ask a friend or family member to come along to take notes. The more you and your family know and understand about your care, the more confident you'll feel when it comes time to make treatment decisions.
- Get support. Find someone you can share your feelings and concerns with. You may have a close friend or family member who is a good listener. Or speak with a clergy member or counselor. Other people with spinal tumors may be able to offer unique insight. Ask your doctor about support groups in your area. Online discussion boards, such as those offered by the Spinal Cord Tumor Association, are another option.
- Take care of yourself. Choose a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains whenever possible. Exercise when you feel up to it. Get enough sleep so that you feel rested. Reduce stress in your life by taking time for relaxing activities, such as listening to music or writing in a journal.

Did you hear the one about the girls who went to see Shakespeare performed as a soft porn disco show, and then the smoke alarms went off in the theater, so they ended up standing outside in the rain while the firemen saved the day?
That was funny.
Not funny ha-ha…funny strange. The kind of funny where you find yourself looking around and thinking, "What the fu….?"
I had traveled all afternoon…in the rain…from New York City to Boston. I dumped my luggage and immediately headed to Harvard Square — in the unseasonably cold wind and semi-snow — to see "The Donkey Show," a disco version of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night Dream."
It looked a bit like you might expect. Big disco ball. Polyester-clad disc jockey. Male dancers in glitter and maniacal grins and little else, swishing about. A few unidentified costumed fancies who must be disco Shakespeareans. And lots and lots of forced gaiety.
Then, the smoke alarms sounded. The house lights came up, exposing the inherent shabbiness of the stage. The disc jockey was suddenly serious as he directed us out of the nearest exit. People stopped at coat check — coat check! — when a fire was supposedly raging inside. (It wasn't…but still.)
And as we stood in the cold rain, I couldn't help but notice that everyone had returned to normal in the street. No strobe lights to inspire sudden hip gyrations. No Donna Summers anthem to prompt leaping upon tables or railings. No wood nymph on roller skates to — well, to make you proud not to be starring in disco soft porn.
I almost hitched a ride with the fire department.

Online programs require more committment and self-discipline than classroom courses because you must take responsibility for doing the assigned work, getting assignments completed and submitted on time, and being prepared for tests and quizzes. You will need to pace yourself, rather than relying on feedback from the teacher or other students. It is easy to put off your online course when you are not required to be in a classroom each week.
If you are a self-starter, possess self-discipline, and can work independently on a task until it is complete, then you will be a successful online student. The ideal online learner is able to answer these questions positively:
You should also have easy access to a computer that is connected to the Internet (preferably not dial-up), be able to store information on your hard drive or storage device, and have the software needed for the course (usually at least a word processor). You should be very comfortable using a computer before taking online courses.
You will need to check your KCTCS e-mail several times a week and manage your e-mail account. Many instructors use only e-mail to comunicate with their students.

in response to cjakobsson#492387:
One point that a lot of people have missed in this discussion is this: That if you read the Second Amendment of the Constitution, it states the need for a well regulated militia before it says anything about the right to bear arms. Also, when it states there is a right to bear arms, it states a right "of the people," not the right of each individual person. That means that it is entirely within the letter and the spirit of the Second Amendment to enact and enforce regulations to keep deadly weapons out of the hands of people who are mentally unfit, morally unfit, or too young, to serve in a well regulated militia. There was one post in this series which suggested that there should be firearms training available in public schools. That would be a good idea and in keeping with the need for a well regulated militia. If we had firearms training in public schools, it should be limited to high school seniors - since those are the people who are within one year of being old enough and otherwise qualified to serve in a well regulated militia - and it should be limited to those with a disciplinary record - in school and out of school - that would leave them qualified to serve in a well regulated militia after they graduate.
Wouldn't it be grand for the SCOTUS to tackle this subject again, and again, and again?

Direct drop-in replacement for Fender standard 11- hole pickguards.
The DiMarzio Area Model Prewired Pickguard is for electric guitars with standard 11-hole pickguards. It's got an Area '58 pickup in the neck, Area '67 in the middle position, and an Area '61 at the bridge.
Area '58
The Area '58 offers excellent treble response and dynamics with little magnetic pull and virtually no hum.
Area '67
In the middle position, the Area '67 pushes sounds like the single-coil pickups of the late '60s—bright and very clean. The Area '67 totally eliminates hum and offers reduced magnet pull for improved sustain and clarity.
Area '61
Finally, the Area '61 in the bridge position brings a steely, yet woody sound to the table. As with the other two pickups, the Area '61 eliminates hum and features reduced magnet pull. These 3 guitar pickups combine to create unique, undeniably vintage tone.
Call or click today and infuse your Strat with vintage tone.

And a fox surgeon now for the first time tonight United Nations ambassador Susan Rice is fighting back against her critics.
First the back story here she went on 5 Sunday morning talk shows days after the attack.
On the consulate in Ben Ghazi and it killed our ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
And said it was due to anger over that film insulting Islam well we now know that was wrong.
US officials acknowledge it was a coordinated.
Terror attack Republican lawmaker said ambassador rice was either deliberately misleading or quotes.
Just minutes ago she spoke at the UN and took those critics to task.
-- -- When discussing the attacks against our facilities and -- Ghazi.
I relied solely and squarely.
On the information provided to me by the intelligence community.
I made clear that the information was preliminary.
And that our investigations.
Would give us the definitive answers.
Every one.
Particularly the intelligence community has worked in good faith to provide the best assessment based on the information available.
Last week Republican lawmakers push back -- word that the White House was -- ambassador rice to be the next secretary of state they said what she said on those Sunday morning shows.
Makes her.
Unfit for the job.
-- -- -- -- DC and Catherine she mentioned what are her biggest critics by name.
Well she did Trace ambassador rice also making an offer to Senator John McCain.
Let me be very clear I have great respect for Senator McCain in his service to our country I always have.
And I always will.
I do think that some of the statements he made about me have been unfounded but I look forward to having opportunity at the appropriate time to discuss all of this with.
Earlier today Senator McCain weighing in on the administration's inconsistent public statements on the Ben Ghazi terrorist attack the statement from -- McCain reads in part.
This latest episode is another reason why many of us are so frustrated with and suspicious of the actions of this administration.
When it comes to the Ben Ghazi attack the senator has said he will push back against rice -- promotion.
So have other senators along with 97 members in the house and all of them are Republican Trace.
And get in the Republicans are still hammering away on this issue right.
Well they are in this letter sent earlier today Republican senator Lindsey Graham charges that the Obama administration has failed to respond to at least a dozen congressional letters.
Adding that the Obama White House was keen to provide details on the bin Laden raid that should offer the same transparency on in Ghazi.
It's unfair to the American people and the families of the victims of the Ben -- attack.
To not provide the same level and he's -- -- and accounting for what I consider a major national security failure.
On Thursday last week classified session Fox News is told that James clapper head of the US intelligence community was definite.
His team did not make controversial changes to the talking points.
Used by ambassador Susan Rice critics say the changes by taking -- the word al-Qaeda played down the terrorism angle.
And on Tuesday this week in a total reversal clapper is office says they were responsible for the changes.
I think clapper has to say and has to say publicly whether he advocated the YouTube video theory.
Whether he pressed it on the White House and others in the intelligence community and if so did he do that at the direction of the White House.
Democrats accuse the Republicans of politicizing this issue arguing -- the changes made to the talking points.
Used by ambassador rice those changes were made simply for reasons to protect classified information -- And Catherine what do we make of the timing here.
That the timing is very important in in the last week we've had several major events in the story we had the classified briefings on Capitol Hill last week.
Where the nation's top intelligence official told lawmakers.
That he didn't know who was responsible for these changes and that the changes were not made in the intelligence community they were made after the document left the intelligence community.
Then this week we have a total reversal a spokesman for James clapper saying that in fact the substantially changes so the big changes in the document.
Were made by the intelligence community.
Then less than 24 hours later we have these first public statements from ambassador Susan Rice where she says.
I just use the information that I was given by the intelligence community and they've essentially taken the blame for any mistakes in those documents.
And then the final point is that all of this goes down on a holiday weekend when many Americans are not paying attention to the media.
Americans on the road Catherine Herridge live -- in DC Catherine thank you well a bunch of huge.

The sound of a 71-year-old Beatle getting back in the ring. McCartney plays to his strengths: Wings-like glam rock, Little Richard howls and, yep, some remarkably Beatlesque pop tunes and George Martin-ish arrangements (thanks partly to Martin's son, Giles, who produced several tracks).
Six months before he died, John Lennon set sail from Newport, R.I., on an ocean adventure to Bermuda that awakened his desire to make music again and now is being chronicled in an electronic format he could not have conceived of.

An ink sketch by Beatle John Lennon - drawn in a 'light-bulb moment' - is expected to sell for thousands of pounds in an online auction next month. The drawing has officially been valued at between £6,000 and £10,000, but an expert has said previous artistic works by Lennon have sold for £100,000 and that this offering could 'go through the roof'.
"Valiant Paul McCartney, I presume?" said John Lennon. "Sir Jasper Lennon, I presume," responded Paul McCartney. Such was the manner in which the two former Beatles greeted one another when McCartney showed up, unexpectedly, at a recording session Lennon was conducting on March 28, 1974.

England got a lot more of The Beatles than Americans did during the group's formative years. Between 1962 and 1965, The Beatles were featured on 53 BBC radio programs, including their own series, Pop Go the Beatles. They performed originals and covers and chatted with BBC hosts.
George Harrison was worth more than $300 million when he died in 2001, but the music legend's 82-year-old sister Louise Harrison now struggles to get by - living in a pre-fabricated home in small-town near Branson, Missouri.

By Sammy Batten Staff writer
The rumor mills have started churning about the potential replacements at N.C. State for football coach Tom O'Brien, who was fired Sunday after six seasons.
N.C. State athletic director Debbie Yow eliminated one name from the list during Sunday's press conference to discuss O'Brien's dismissal. Yow said Vanderbilt's James Franklin, whom she had hired as an assistant coach at Maryland, is not a candidate to become the Wolfpack's next coach.
But that was Sunday, and things can change rapidly in the world of college football.
What is known is that Yow will be facing a competitive market in finding a new coach. Traditional college powers such as Arkansas, Auburn and Tennessee have also fired head coaches, as have Boston College, Colorado, Kentucky and Purdue.
Yow clearly wants a coach with personality who can attract big-time recruits to Raleigh.
"Ultimately, I decided to move in another direction to try to reinvigorate the program toward reaching the competitive goal of becoming a perennial Top 25 football program,'' Yow said. "That goal is challenging, but I believe it is truly achievable here at N.C. State.''
With those factors in mind, here's a look at some potential candidates who meet Yow's criteria.
Personal: Age 44, born in Saugatuck, Mich., and played at Ferris State.
The resume: Served as head coach at Central Michigan from 2007-09 and compiled a 27-13 record. In three seasons at Cincinnati, he has 22-14 mark.
Why N.C. State should like Jones: He's an innovative promoter of his program and an energetic, inspirational-type coach, who learned the spread offense from Rich Rodriguez.
Personal: Age 37, born in Grove, N.J., and was All-Big Ten linebacker at Iowa.
The resume: A rising star who has developed one of the nation's best defensive units at Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are second only to Alabama this season in scoring defense, allowing just 10.3 points per game.
Why N.C. State should like Diaco: He's a dynamic recruiter and will receive a lot of the credit if Notre Dame wins the national title. He has experience in ACC territory, having coached at Virginia (2006-08). He's not the brilliant offensive mind Yow may be seeking, but we all know it's defense that wins championships.
Personal: Age 48, born in Cinnaminson Township, N.J., and played at Muskingum.
The resume: Best-known for working under Jim Tressel at Ohio State, where he was assistant head coach from 2005-10. He compiled 16-8 record in two seasons at Kent, including 11-1 this season.
Why N.C. State should like Hazell: He's been around the kind of top-25 program Debbie Yow wants the Wolfpack to be. He likes to throw the football and would be the first minority head coach for Wolfpack football.
Personal: Age 43, born in Edgewood, Texas, and graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in mathematics.
The resume: After putting together a 169-38 record in the high school ranks, Morris has been nothing short of sensational as an offensive coordinator for Tulsa and Clemson. He was named National Offensive Coordinator of the Year in 2011 by Rivals.com after Clemson set school records for total yards and points.
Why N.C. State should like Morris: He's turned Clemson into an offensive powerhouse using the spread attack. Plus, he's regarded as an excellent recruiter who relates well to prep players and coaches because of his vast experience at that level.
Personal: Age 51, born in Lewistown, Mont., and played quarterback at Carroll.
The resume: Petrino's record as head coach at Louisville and Arkansas was an impressive 75-26. He also spent almost a full year as head coach of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, but was only 3-10 there before departing. He was truly one of the hottest coaching prospects in college until being dismissed from Arkansas last April for an off-field scandal in which he had an inappropriate relationship with a female staff member.
Why N.C. State should like Petrino: Yeah, it's a longshot Yow would turn to someone with Petrino's baggage, especially so soon after his scandal at Arkansas. But the guy is a heck of a coach who can recruit and uses an exciting style of offense. Plus, he could come at a discount price at this time.

Unlocking the secret code of sickness and in health and both doctors have.
Surely attended two victims in.
Tragic situation so we wanted to start there and good morning to both good -- you're going to we're gonna dedicate much of Sunday house call today to serious health issues that follow the aftermath of the tragedy like what happened at sandy -- elementary school in Newtown Connecticut.
Where on Friday a gunman killed 26 people including twenty.
Little children.
Dramatic events like this can have real and lasting effects on a wide range of people from the families of the victims to the survivors and their families.
Also the first responders we don't want to forget them and even those that are just watching these events unfold on TV.
So doctor -- what do you think first of all we all need to keep in mind at this time.
As well the first thing we need to do is to come together as a country this is another example of another 9/11.
And with its 912 the next day where -- the entire country.
White black.
Jew Muslim Christian everyone got together and united as a nation that's how we're going to deal that's how we're going to care for each other.
Look this is -- big impact you don't have to -- committee get to feel this I was watching this yesterday.
I have two kids six year old and ten year old and it's very emotional it.
Psychologically will affect -- plus what do you allowing them to know.
I -- I only feed them certain amount I don't want them to watch everything I want them to become stronger.

What is your thoughts and and my son -- basically told me that that that's -- I'm learning co writing I'm gonna defend myself and I would take care of my teacher.
Jazz music is my -- Saturday she said you know why's this happening.
-- you know I can tell you that the discussion of evil.
And people snapping which is what we -- here -- media.
As a doctor doesn't make any sense I don't think these people are -- I think there -- psychological issues I think it's a combination off.
Family core whether it has to do with the mom taking -- for these type rifle and gone as we can have a discussion about it.
I think it's a cultural issue that we have here may be too many violence and violent movies video games were surrounded by all of this.
But there's also a psychological effect here this is the face off our psyche.
Autism is not a prerequisite to violence there are -- or Kerry they're good people in a great family that feeds them.
And take care of -- nurture them.
This same.
Autism plus psychosis.
-- so.
Features can turn into a monster and this is what we're seeing nobody will wake up in the morning it's -- you know today is a day that I want to start shooting people.
And are around us and what I would tell you as a doctor is that we need to diagnose this first before they will get us.
And there has been an incident where I have actually be called off on people that I thought they looked odd.
This is what they're saying they're usually -- you don't -- there's no eye contact we all know them.
It's not to bully them we need to make sure that -- teachers and these societies there where I make it safe for all of.
Trying to record as a counselor doctor Siegel doctor -- before we started mentioned something interesting to me that this young man went through things that a lot of us do.
A divorce.
-- brother who didn't talk to him a father who was also not talking to him but a lot of us have.
Experience that.
You know Jamie first of all I think we -- work on the month mental health infrastructure in this country I think you know if we don't know if if this person was in treatment.
If he was in treatment someone should look back and say did he -- enough treatment was the treatment work it was an effective.
David makes some good points about underlying problems he might have that might not be totally related to this I want people out there -- no.
That just because someone thinks something out and they have a plan I'm going to drive to that school and -- hit it looks like it's cold and calculated bit.
It can easily be psychotic can easily be delusional -- can easily be that he came up with something in his mind.
Where these children represented something else than than what they -- And edit it and this seems like a very severely disturbed individual who did not -- It in one minute there were probably warning signs.

Here's information provided by the Alameda County Fair:
The Alameda County Fair Association regrets to announce the passing of jockey Jorge Herrera who died in an unfortunate racing incident. Our heart felt sentiments go out to his family. The entire horse racing community is saddened and will deeply mourn this loss. We hope to establish a tribute that will honor his life and contributions.
During the last race of the day on Thursday, July 5, jockey Jorge Herrera was killed when he was thrown from his horse. It appears that either his horse or another horse stepped on him, causing severe head trauma.
As is our normal safety protocol, an ambulance was following seconds behind the race, therefore, emergency medical personnel responded immediately.
Mr. Herrera was transported to Eden Trauma Center in Castro Valley in very critical condition where he later passed away.
We are in shock and sorrow. The last death of a jockey that occurred at our race track was 37 years ago in 1975 — Juan Gonzalez.
