Most people who are single and looking for love would agree that dating is hard, and by hard I mean a total nightmare. Finding ways to meet people isn't much easier, especially in a city like Los Angeles. For a select, bold group, the quest for love — and possibly fame — brings them to ABC's hit dating experiment, "The Bachelor."
Series creator Mike Fleiss invited me to the set as season 14 started shooting (the first episode premieres Monday, Jan. 4). The next bachelor, Jake Pavelka, a fan favorite from season five of "The Bachelorette," is charming and handsome. But what I discovered during my visit is that the sexiest part of "The Bachelor" is host Chris Harrison.
Harrison, 38, has been married for 16 years to his college sweetheart, Gwen, and the couple has two children, a son and a daughter. There is nothing more attractive than a man who loves his wife and believes in his fairy-tale match so much that he wants others to experience what he has.
Hosting shows like "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" could easily leave someone jaded or perhaps contribute to a wandering eye, but Harrison says it has had the opposite effect — making him a better man and husband. He told me that hosting the programs since 2001 has taught him to be grateful for his wife and children, since contestants are presumably on the shows looking for the same life he already enjoys.
But he cautions that contestants who go on the show to find fame ultimately fail. Harrison draws a comparison to those who go online with the aim of serial dating. Ultimately, he says, they will only attract other serial daters. "When you are sincere in what you are looking for, you will attract sincerity," he said.
Harrison wouldn't hesitate to let his own brother appear on "The Bachelor," because he says it's no different from an online dating service or a bar. The chances of finding love in those situations are a crapshoot, he says, and one could argue that statistically you are more likely to find love on "The Bachelor."
When asked what advice he would give to people looking for love, his answer was simple: have guts. His most recent example was when his 8-year-old son received a note from a girl at his school, which said she had a crush on him. Harrison spoke to his son about how much courage it took for the girl to express her feelings, and he advised him to tell her "thank you."
Regardless of how old you are, the advice remains the same: be bold, brave and kind, because love will not find you; you need to go out and find it. And if you put yourself out there, you increase your chances. Fear will stop you, and regret will crush you.
While Harrison's mother's side of the family is Jewish, he and Gwen are practicing Episcopalians. He says his kids are aware of their Jewish heritage and celebrate the holidays.
I spoke with Harrison about my personal search for love. I explained that I only date Jewish men, because I feel it's important to share faith and have the common connection of tradition. While he appreciated my position, like most of my friends, he thought this restriction was limiting my options and that I might be missing out on someone great.
His question was: Would I rather be with someone who was Jewish or someone who was Jew-ish? He explained that there are people who are born Jewish and live secular lives and there are others who are not born Jewish but are open to practicing Judaism. This begs the question: Which is the better match for someone who values faith?
Chris Harrison is smart, funny, cool and sexy and even though it's his job to look that way on television he is even more so in real life. I hope to have the same type of relationship he has with his wife one day and by one day of course I mean if you're my Beshert and reading this, call me. I'm planning to stick to my plan of marrying a Jew, and, if I'm lucky, you'll be both Jewish and Jew-ish.
As I left the "Bachelor" set, it was clear that Jake will be a fabulous bachelor, women across the country will undoubtedly fall in love with him and we will hold our collective breath as he holds the final rose.
In the end the lucky woman won't be a contestant on the show. It will be Gwen, Harrison's wife, because she already has what so many of us want — a man who believes in fairy-tale endings and always keeps the faith.

I joke a lot about giving up on love and becoming a cat lady. I am so discouraged with my dating life that covering my furniture in plastic and turning my home into a cat sanctuary is almost attractive. This week I had three people approach me about adopting a cat they had to find a home for. Is it a coincidence or a sign? Rather than joke about it, perhaps I should take the must needed next step in becoming a cat lady and get another cat.
Could it be the holidays that makes single people reevaluate their lives and want to create a new path? It's hard to be alone at the end of the year. I realize this admission is not cool and may be perceived as pathetic, but I've always been honest with you so let's not stop now. Here I go: I am lonely and it is hardest for me this time of the year. There, I've said it. I'm lonely.
There is a huge distinction between being alone and being lonely. I have a full and rich life and I value the opportunities I have to be alone. I enjoy moments of quiet and being alone has never been an issue for me but being lonely is a rather sad thing. That said, I would rather be lonely than in a relationship that is not everything I want. I am not going to settle for someone less than I deserve just so I can have someone in my life.
Now back to my dilemma: my cat is sweet and funny and I find her to be both entertaining and comforting. She is technically my son's cat. He got her as a Bar Mitzvah present and he loves her too. Could I not get another one and say the new one was mine so even though there were two cats in the house only one would be mine? Would it be so wrong to get another one?
Could it be that my cat is actually lonely? Maybe I am so close to her that I am going to ease her loneliness because I know how she feels? Did I just write that I know how my cat feels? It's over. The beginning stage of cat lady mental illness has set in. Dear Lord. I have admitted I am lonely AND just told you that I KNOW how my cat feels. Is there any hope for me?
How did I get to this place? It must be a combination of the Zale Jewelers holiday commercials and the convicted felons and old men who write me online. There is only so much a girl can take before she snaps and before you know it one cat turns into two and two becomes eighteen. Maybe I should get a hedgehog or a chinchilla to break the cycle? That makes total sense because having a bunch of random animals is so much less crazy than having cats.
I think I am going to put off any animal purchases until the New Year. In the meantime I will count my blessings, crack open a bottle of Merlot, watch a few chick flicks and wait out the loneliness. As for my cat, I will get her some catnip, give her a bowl of milk and her loneliness too shall pass. It will all be fine as long as I stay away from all animal shelters and keep the faith.

There is a certain online dating site that is specifically geared towards helping Jews meet other Jews. I won't mention it by name because why should they benefit from my naming them when all they do is take my money and do absolutely nothing?
Last night I got a letter from a man in Oregon. It was really long and explained to me, in great detail, how he could love me, we need to meet, he will travel to all ends of the earth to find love and he is certain it could be me. He is not Jewish. He is not in my desired age range. He does not consider English his first language.
Let's go through some of the men I have had the pleasure of meeting through this dating site in the last few months and see if we can determine who is the biggest loser.
Richard: We dated for a month before I got a phone call from his girlfriend. He told me he wanted to be exclusive which was fascinating since he was already in a committed relationship. I found out about her when she called after finding his calls to me on the cell phone bill.
Brad: He told me he was divorced and had 3 kids. Turns out he was separated, in the throws of a divorce, still in love with his wife, who had cheated, and actually had 4 kids not 3. He was worried if he told me about all 4, it would be a turn off. Good call. Lying about your kids is a much better way to go. Bravo.
Keith: I gave him my number, he called, we went out, he called again, we made plans, I asked for his number, he said he would give it to me after our next date, I told him I was not going out with him again without the number, he cancelled because he does not like ultimatums. I wonder what his wife thinks about that?
Avi: He called, we had a great date, he said he would like to go out again, I told him that would be great, he called a month later, I said it had been a while, he said he had been busy, we made plans to talk the next day, he called two weeks later. I passed. I wonder what his wife thinks about that?
Brian: The soon to be ex-husband of a friend of mine. Never going to happen. I wonder what his wife thinks about that?
Joseph: A Republican who lied about his age, his family, his height, his personality and his goals. This one is a piece of work because I see his profile online and each and every time he has a new age, a new height and a new picture.
I am sure the women are just as bad as the men in terms of lies and hidden agendas but I don't have any experience there. Important to note, it's not just me. I have a lot of friends on this site and we all agree that the quality of men is just not what we were expecting. Perhaps there are so many women who are looking to play around they can toss out those who are serious.
I'm sure I will get the standard "You're not meeting anyone because you're a bitter hag" emails and that is ok. I'm a little jaded but not defeated or bitter. I'm actually a pretty great lady and I will not give up. I'm giving up on this dating site, but not giving up in general.
I want a witness to my life. I want to walk through the rest of my life with someone. As my son gets older and marks his own path, I want someone to be by my side. I want all the things that come with a relationship. Good and bad, I want it all.
I am blessed to have been in love before. I have had one great love in my life and I know I will have it again. I have my son, my friends and my work so I will be busy while I wait. I feel a sense of tremendous relief to finally walk away from this Jewish online dating site. At some point you've got to accept it's just not going to happen there and my time is now.
To the men who continue to lie and mislead, karma is a powerful thing so I would watch your back. To the women who are hopeful that they will meet their Beshert, I wish you all the best. Be strong, don't let it get you down, avoid bitterness, own the fact that it will jade you a little and remember to always keep the faith.

A lot of people have a lot of opinions about my dating life. I get lots of feedback about my desire to be a better Jew and even more when I say that I only date Jewish men. I've blogged about it before but let's spell it out a little more clearly.
I am Jewish and not just a "High Holiday" or a "Bagel and Lox" Jew. I am a practicing Jew. I go to services, celebrate the holidays, learn Torah and observe more than just Yom Kipper. I find joy and peace in my faith and in learning more.
I am finding my place as I go. I was raised in a secular but traditional home and became observant after I had my son and even more aware after he had his Bar Mitzvah. I am not particularly religious but increasingly aware and appreciative of what having religion in my life does.
I've heard the argument that it would be good enough to have someone who has faith if I can't find someone who is Jewish and I don't really understand that theory and it's just not how I roll. I think religion goes hand in hand with faith.
I feel it is important to believe in something and that is based on religion not faith. If someone has tremendous faith and practices Catholicism then that is not going to be a match for me and I don't mind saying so even though I can feel the hate mail coming.
I think a better comparison would be that perhaps I could be with someone who is spiritual rather than Jewish. Again, this one is hard for me but a little easier to handle. If a man is spiritual, believes in something bigger than himself and prays to a higher power then would that be enough?
If someone were very spiritual and was open to celebrating Jewish holidays and traditions could I have a relationship with that person and still be able to live a Jewish life? I suppose I could but it would be settling to me and I just don't think there is anything wrong with holding out for a Jew.
Everyone is able to make these decisions for themselves and we all have different levels of faith and religious practice. All I'm saying is that for me, having the same religion is important. I am not judging others who marry outside their faith, just saying that it's not an option for me.
If my son met a woman who was raised Christian but defined herself as more spiritual than religious I would be concerned because once I had a baby, I embraced my faith and if she were the same she would have a baby and want to share the faith of her upbringing.
I feel I am defending my faith, religion and desire to be with someone who shares it, which is a shame. I think it's quite lovely to want that connection and believe all the highs and lows in a relationship are made easier to navigate if your partner has the same belief system.
At the end of the day I am a Jew and that is the source of my faith. I believe religion, spirituality and faith go hand in hand and it is my choice to hold hands with a Jew. I should not be attacked or judged for that belief and I do not judge or attack others.
My choices are my own as are my hopes for my child. There are about a billion things more important than my religious path for the haters to worry about so I will compile a list of these things so you can pick something interesting to you.
I am on a journey to find love and at the same time I am on a personal path to understand my faith, embrace my religion and live spiritually. I am blessed to live in a time when I can be free to talk about religion even though there are people who try to scar that freedom.
God Bless those who are unable practice their beliefs and faith. God Bless those who are unable to speak freely and openly about their lives, hopes, dreams and goals. I will hang on and defend my freedom a little stronger until you have the same opportunities. Keep the faith.

This weekend I went to my friend Laurel's first photo exhibit. She is a talented photographer and I am very proud of her. My favorite photograph of the show was this one of ruby slippers.
An interesting group of people came to see the show. Artsy types with interesting tattoos, wild hairstyles and strange moustaches. Rockers, punks, babies, grandmas, photographers and those who simply appreciate the art.
I met wonderful people at the exhibit and it's amazing how you can think you have nothing in common with someone based on how they look only to discover that if you just give it a minute, you will find something that connects you.
When I was moving around the party talking to this eclectic group of people I found myself always coming back to this photo. It is a fresh take on an iconic memory and it got me thinking about snapping my heals together and getting home and I discovered that there is a certain element of "home" that I get by being with other Jews.
I met a wonderful couple at the event, Sandy and Harris. She is adorable and funny and he is handsome and charming. Their daughter Erika is sweet as can be and dates Laurel's brother Sam. This small group, all strangers to me, made me feel like I was home. We got each other in a way that I can't really articulate but there is something about being with a group of Jews that feels comfortable and safe to me.
Erika has 3 brothers and Thea, who is the girlfriend of one of her brothers, was there. She is really darling and everyone loves her, including me. Thea is the daughter of a Deacon in the Catholic church and she told me that growing up she had never met anyone Jewish. She refers to herself as a shiksa, which is charming because she pronounces it Shish-ka, as in kabob.
It was a very entertaining conversation and it eventually came around to my blog in the Jewish Journal. I was talking about what I write about and we got to talking about being Jewish and our kids dating outside our faith and Sandy and Harris had an interesting take on it.
Their son had gone out with a lot of girls, some Jewish and some not, and Thea was the first girl that really just fit. They see her with their son and it makes sense and as parents they love seeing him happy and therefore love her and her faith becomes unimportant because of the joy she brings him.
I suppose I never really think of my son marrying someone not Jewish because he is only 13 and it's not like I need to worry about who he is going to pick for himself because right now I can pick for him, even if it's only in my head. I want him to be with a woman who makes him laugh and feel good about himself. She will be smart and compassionate and I don't think there is anything wrong with my wanting her to be Jewish.
Thea's parents are going to meet Sandy and Harris in January and it will be interesting to hear the Deacon's take on it. I get a lot of angry mail for my position on wanting myself and my son to marry within our faith, and I'm curious to see what the Deacon thinks about it and the position of Catholic parents, particularly one who is a leader in his faith.
At the end of the day, is it more important to be with someone of faith than with someone who has the same religion? If you believe in a higher power does it matter what we call him or is the simple fact that we believe in him enough? When my son finds the woman that he wants to marry will I be able to support him and love her if she is not Jewish? Of course I will.
It was a great evening. It was wonderful to sit and kibbitz with new friends and be reminded that all people can find a common thread if they are willing to look. I love the idea that we can click our heels and find our way home. All it takes is an open mind and the ability to keep the faith.

It's been an interesting week and I must tell you I am very happy it is Friday. I look forward to Shabbat and a lovely weekend. My blogs this week pushed a lot of buttons and inspired a lot of people to share their opinions.
I wrote about diamonds and how they are a symbol of forever and love and was accused of only caring about money and told that women determine how much they love a man by the size of the diamond he gives her. To clarify, I would rather have a ring made out of string and a marriage that is guaranteed to last forever than a 7-carat perfect diamond and a shaky marriage. While writing this one paragraph I saw a commercial for Zales and it made me cry but I would still rather take the string.
I dedicated a blog to World AIDS Day and got a lovely letter saying I was promoting a disease that was for gay people and was brought on by their "behavior". I don't want to embarrass the writer, "Bob T.", so I will call him "Dumbass" so nobody knows his name is "Bob T." AIDS is not a gay persons disease Dumbass. Educate yourself and take your ideas about this illness and shove them up your @$$. Thanks for writing and by thanks for writing of course I mean, shove it up your @$$.
I wrote about how sex is a part of our everyday life and if you pay attention you will see how much we talk and joke about it. I mentioned I know a couple who have been married for 20 years and have not had sex in a year. I was told I have no idea what goes on in a marriage and I was judgmental and while I don't feel a need to defend myself, I do have the desire to say that I am not a marriage counselor nor I am married but I am quite certain that if you are in a "healthy and happy" marriage and go for a year without sex, there is something wrong with that marriage.
I blogged about an article I saw in Details magazine about Jewish porn and most people were shocked. They were as surprised as I was that there was a Jewish porn industry and that there were Jewish porn stars. The article interviewed Joanna Angel who is a hard-core porn star who is Jewish and was raised in an Orthodox home and I cannot even tell you how floored I was to get an email from Ms. Angel telling me she enjoyed my blog. Regardless of what you think about porn or specifically Joanna Angel, I want to tell you that she is a lovely girl with lovely manners and I appreciated her taking the time to reach out to me.
My son is going on a Kinnus with his USY group this weekend and he is so happy and I am excited for him. I will be going to services tonight to pray, sing and relax. I have a very dear friend coming to visit and I'm looking forward to it. My regular followers know all about my dear friend and partner in crime Laurel and she is having her first photo exhibit this weekend in Carlsbad and I will be there to celebrate with her and her family.
I wish you all a peaceful and wonderful weekend. I am going to release this week and take time to count my blessings and feel gratitude. Shabbat Shalom and as always, Keep the Faith.

There is an interesting, entertaining and disturbing article in Details Magazine, www.details.com, by Christopher Noxon titled "THE RISE OF THE HOT JEWISH GIRL", that talks about how American men are lusting after Jewish women. Who knew that J.I.L.F.'s were the new M.I.L.F.'s ?
In a poll, "Jewish girls" were ranked the second hottest "kink", which is fascinating to me. By fascinating, of course I mean that if it's true, why is it so hard to meet anyone? What is even more intriguing, is that the first place kink winner was "freckles" which I am covered with. How is it possible that I cannot meet a decent guy when I am so desirable?
One could argue the poll is not a big deal since it was conducted by a porn blog, and are the men who are reading a porn blog the type of men I am hoping to meet? Probably not. In the article, Noxon says Jews represent 2.2% of the population. That makes me a hot commodity, which is good, but I am being sought after by men with a porn fetish, which is bad.
The article opened my eyes to a whole other side of being Jewish. Did you know there are Jewish porn sites, and Jewish porn stars? I honestly did not. Are you aware that according to the article, 13% of the members of JDate are "unaffiliated". I think if you're not Jewish, you should not be on JDate. There are a gazillion other sites to go on to meet people.
Someone should start a site for Jews with porn fetishes. Specifically, a site for non-Jews, who like to date Jews with porn fetishes. If we could somehow separate out the degenerates, and give them their own Jewish dating site, it would be a win win for everyone, and ultimately make it easier to meet what we are looking for.
Come to think of it, I get most of my emails on JDate from men who are not Jewish. I will go so far as to say that if you are a convicted felon, and on JDate, then we have probably already gone out. I tend to attract men with a past, and have honestly gone out with 5 men on JDate who have been convicted of non-violent crimes. I must be a huge hit in prison.
Perhaps there should be a class that these Jewish loving porn people can teach to nice Jewish boys, to show them that Jewish women rock, and they should consider finding a wife within the tribe, instead of going the non-Jewish route. I would be happy to help get a cross-country speaking tour set up, so if anyone moves ahead with that, call me.
I happen to know I won't find my Beshert in the porn industry. Call me crazy, but I think that one is a sure thing. I suppose it is possible I could meet my soul mate ,and he could not be a Jew. When you think about how many Jews there are, the odds are that he probably would not be. When you add that it's mostly non-Jewish men who are attracted to Jewish women, then becomes a total long shot.
I invite the porn industry to rally around nice Jewish girls, and help them find their Jewish Beshert. An online class, a lecture series, a book, whatever you think will do the trick. Maybe JDate can have a chat room for Jewish men to be counseled by porn lovers, on the joys of a Jewish woman.
Mazel Tov to Mr. Noxon on a great article. And if I may just clarify, hard-core porn star Joanna Angel, who is quoted in the article, is no relation. I'm just saying. Someday my Jewish prince will come and hopefully he won't work in the porn industry. While I'm waiting, I will keep the faith.

It really is quite interesting how much sex is a part of our daily lives. If we pay attention we see that it is something people talk about, think about or joke about, a lot. In the last 36 hours these are the conversations I have had about sex:
1) My son and I talked about sex and while I won't go into any details, it was a great talk. He is a teenager and that he comes to me to talk about sex and ask questions makes me happy and proud. Uncomfortable on occasion, but mostly happy and proud.
2) A friend of mine had sex with a guy she has been dating for a few weeks and she is tormented, as women are, about whether it was the right time, what would he think of her and what did it mean for their relationship. Having sex with someone new for the first time is a big deal for women and for men it's just another activity like watching the game or washing the car.
3) I had my regular visit to the gynecologist and it was the standard rapid fire set of questions about my body and my sex life which ended with the Doctor giving me her "Don't worry you'll meet someone great soon" head tilted look, which by the way is more uncomfortable than the actual exam.
4) I have been on 2 dates with a man named "Jim" and we were talking on the phone trying to figure out when we would be able to go out again when he asked me when I was planning to have sex with him and if we could fast track it because he "really needed to get laid". Charming.
5) I watched the Victoria's Secret fashion show and though chicks aren't my thing, I appreciate a woman's body and these women were stunning and I found myself thinking about what it would be like to have a body like that for just a week and what I would do with it and with whom.
6) For the past 10 years I have had a friendship and flirtation with a man I met in Seattle on business. He is charming, funny, handsome, Jewish, a fabulous dad and a genuinely good guy. He is lovely and I'm thinking it might be time for a trip to Seattle for a grown up weekend with a grown up man who I like and respect. Maybe the key to having a tryst is to do it with someone far away so there is no chance for a relationship so it can't mess with your head because it's just a great thing with a great guy.
7) A girlfriend of mine who has been married for 20 years and is in a seemingly happy relationship told me that she has not had sex with her husband for almost a year and was thinking of surprising him with sex for his birthday. I could make a joke on this one but the shock prevents me from even trying. No sex for a year is not a successful marriage if you ask me. I'm just saying.
For the next 24 hours keep sex in the front of your mind and I think you will be surprised by how prevalent it is in your daily exchanges. At the end of the day it turns out sex is not something that we need to save for the end of the day. Be safe, free, wild, intimate, aware and always keep the faith.

A Central Coast campus student who suffered burns to 45 per cent of her body in a horrific accident last year is one of 65 students being recognised tomorrow at the Central Coast campus awards night.
Thirty-year-old Hayley Watson was injured in an explosion at her home, placed in an induced coma for a week and underwent major skin graft surgery.
Ms Watson, who will receive a Shaping Futures Scholarship funded by donations, credits her studies as the shining light that helped her stay focused on recovering.
"I love studying and I did not consider dropping out but the financial pressure combined with the anxiety and pain from the accident has made life very difficult," she said.
"The scholarship means I have fewer things to worry about. I am so lucky there are such thoughtful, genuinely good people out there supporting students like me."
Sarah Fletcher is a high-achieving mother of three nearing the end of her degree in primary teaching with a raft of high distinctions and distinctions. Ms Fletcher will receive one of two inaugural Singapore Alumni Scholarships worth $4,000. The scholarships are donated by Singaporeans who studied at the University and are for academically gifted students facing hardship.
"The scholarship is a relief and makes juggling family with study a lot easier. I can buy stationery, textbooks and even afford some additional childcare," she said.
Psychology student, Selina Chapman, is being awarded the Central Coast Campus Friends Student Award for academic achievement. She maintains consistently high marks while volunteering as a Lifeline crisis telephone counsellor, President of the Ourimbah Psychology Society and as a student mentor for Campus Central, the Ourimbah students' association.
Ms Chapman hopes to complete postgraduate studies and work as a counselling psychologist on the Central Coast.
The three students will receive their awards tomorrow night at a joint University and TAFE NSW – Central Coast Campuses event during the University's Scholars' Week, which recognises students receiving scholarships and prizes and thanks the supporters who provide them. A range of scholarships and prizes will recognise academic excellence, sporting talent, artistic and musical abilities.
This year 1,500 scholarships worth $5 million are being awarded to University students. Among these are 200 funded by donations.
Pro Vice-Chancellor Central Coast, Professor Stephen Crump, said donations and sponsorships were invaluable.

It's A Gym Trip Not An Elliptical Fashion Show
Ladies tend to be more self conscious about their clothing. This could affect personal confidence at the gym. Loose breathable clothing which also absorbs the sweat better is the best. Gym clothes may not be the latest fashion design. An important area to think about are the thighs which are in constant motion and tend to rub against each other during use expecially on an elliptical. A bottle of talcum powder could ensure less friction. Baby powder could work as well in absorbing the extra sweat.Another word for this is chaf rub. This is a painful burning rash. If left untreated it can lead to further yeast infections. It is mostly people with chubby thighs who are prone to this sort of problem.
Models, singers and actresses who reveal their bodies could be affected by thigh rash. Using the elliptical can provide a solution by slimming up the thighs. Although we do assume only slimmer women would be in these professionals. If thighs are a great problem area then dieting as well during the workout may help to slim them faster. Tight and abrasive clothing should be avoided especially when going to exercise for longer periods.
The elliptical can be an excellent companion for helping women maintain an attractive body shape. The workout engages the core muscles as does any normal walking. So frequent use should trim up the abdominals. A little extra care in the diet undertaken during the weight loss period should take care of any bulging unattractive abdominal regions. A lean and fit body which appeals to the eyes also takes a lot of hard and constant work. Find out more by going to http://www.exercisejudge.com/.
Music has a special place in every workout. For those who have an elliptical at home, loud music of any choice would work better than just the silent rolling of the machine. The type of music played could affect the intensity at which the workout can be carried out. Faster and more exciting beat would help in motivating a higher resistance workout. Elliptical machines provide a paced workout which benefits greatly from music being played. Softer music could help the body move more smoothly and induce an enjoyment of the repetitive movement in general.
It has been proven that running to music can help boost performance by 15%. It not only provides a distraction from the pain and fatigue that may otherwise set in by repeating a certain movement over and over again. It can work as a stimulant that is legal to use as well.

O. Henry: The Four Million23. BY COURIER (continued)The young man dropped a half-dollar into the boy's hand. The boy looked at him for a moment with bright, canny eyes out of a dirty, intelligent face, and then set off at a run. He approached the lady on the bench a little doubtfully, but unembarrassed. He touched the brim of the old plaid bicycle cap perched on the back of his head. The lady looked at him coolly, without prejudice or favour. "Lady," he said, "dat gent on de oder bench sent yer a song and dance by me. If yer don't know de guy, and he's tryin' to do de Johnny act, say de word, and I'll call a cop in t'ree minutes. If yer does know him, and he's on de square, w'y I'll spiel yer de bunch of hot air he sent yer." The young lady betrayed a faint interest. "A song and dance!" she said, in a deliberate sweet voice that seemed to clothe her words in a diaphanous garment of impalpable irony. "A new idea--in the troubadour line, I suppose. I--used to know the gentleman who sent you, so I think it will hardly be necessary to call the police. You may execute your song and dance, but do not sing too loudly. It is a little early yet for open-air vaudeville, and we might attract attention." "Awe," said the boy, with a shrug down the length of him, "yer know what I mean, lady. 'Tain't a turn, it's wind. He told me to tell yer he's got his collars and cuffs in dat grip for a scoot clean out to 'Frisco. Den he's goin' to shoot snow-birds in de Klondike. He says yer told him not to send 'round no more pink notes nor come hangin' over de garden gate, and he takes dis means of puttin' yer wise. He says yer refereed him out like a has-been, and never give him no chance to kick at de decision. He says yer swiped him, and never said why." The slightly awakened interest in the young lady's eyes did not abate. Perhaps it was caused by either the originality or the audacity of the snow-bird hunter, in thus circumventing her express commands against the ordinary modes of communication. She fixed her eye on a statue standing disconsolate in the dishevelled park, and spoke into the transmitter: This is page 143 of 159.

Self-help projects for IDPs in Puttalam |
Thursday, 28 May 2009 | |
The Peace Secretariat, in pursuing its mandate to coordinate the peace process, has sponsored a number of projects aimed specifically at uplifting the living conditions of women affected by the conflict. The latest in this series was a workshop for Puttalam IDPs held on May 16, 2009, by the South Asian Perspective Network Association (SAPNA) in association with SCOPP. Thirty educated young women from IDP camps in the area were selected to participate in the workshop. An earlier project, also sponsored by SCOPP, involved providing assistance in micro-finance through state-owned banks. One hundred fifty women were given 50,000 rupees each to enable them to engage in small-scale livelihood projects. (Bank officials later said that recipients had been prompt in paying their instalments.) The leaders of the groups that received these loans were present at the workshop to share their experiences. The current workshop, held at the Norachcholai Aailnkuda Muslim Vidyalaya in Kalpitiya, sought to demonstrate the concept of "self help", and in particular the utility of the Ranna Village model and its possible application in the Puttalam area. SAPNA had transformed the Ranna Village in the South of the country into a prosperous community. Mr. Wickremarachchi attached to SAPNA and three community leaders from the Ranna village explained the concept and the progress achieved by them to the participants. The Ranna Village model is based primarily on the idea of cutting out the middlemen and loan sharks who customarily sap much of the profits of small businesses, and of encouraging community organization where the owners of the small businesses pool their resources so as to meet each other's needs. The relevance of such a concept to the Puttalam context is obvious. IDPs displaced from the Wanni have been living in Puttalam for the past twenty years. There are an estimated 116,000 persons living in 121 IDP camps. They don't have permanent residential or resettlement facilities, and live in temporary huts built on the ten perch blocks of land provided to them. Around 80% of the population is without a permanent source of livelihood, and eke out a hand to mouth existence through manual labour. Meanwhile, an entire generation has grown up in the camps. These children attend schools situated within the Puttalam Education Zone. Around 50% of the teachers attached to Puttalam schools are also from the camps. Despite this, a number of youngsters have demonstrated their innate resilience and talent by gaining entry to Universities while a few have even qualified as doctors. Life for the majority, however, remains one of extreme hardship. In short, the best way to escape this situation is still through individual and collective initiative, relying on one's own creativity and ability to adopt to circumstances, and by making the best of whatever limited resources are available. Mr. Wickremarachchi explained through examples how the Puttalam IDPs, even though they lacked land, could model themselves along the lines of the Ranna village to secure their future. For instance, the participants were shown a film on a group of Nepalese women who had overcome all odds against them to achieve progress. The participants also learnt the value of forming Women's Associations. They were informed of the instance where thirty young women of the Arafa Nagar Women's Association, using their savings, built up a modest fund to provide loans to members. This triggered an intense discussion among the participants on how their own funds could be transformed into a bigger and more profitable fund. Coincidentally, each IDP camp has its own Women's Association. A decision was therefore taken to bring together all of these Women's Associations under an umbrella organization. Meanwhile, based on the success achieved by SCOPP through its concept of "Peace through Sports", the participants also decided to promote youth activity and closer contacts among the IDP camps scattered throughout the Puttalam district by organizing a Sports Festival. The young ladies attending the Workshop agreed to cooperate in organizing the youth into groups similar to Women's Associations. SAPNA agreed to extend their fullest cooperation to put into action the proposals put forward at the workshop and to find the required funds.

Reflections on 2012 trends from cancer survivors
By Sheryl M. Ness, R.N.
10 comments posted
As the New Year begins, it seems fitting to take a look at a few of the most popular blog discussions from 2012.
Your perspectives on survivorship are what I hope to bring forward for discussion every week in the coming year.
Here are a few highlights from 2012:
- Diet and exercise matter — Many of you commented on the various discussions about healthy eating and fitting in daily exercise. The research continues to be strong showing the positive effects of both eating healthy and being active on cancer survivor outcomes.
- Cancer screening recommendations are changing — We talked about the recommended changes for the PSA test for prostate cancer screening and new ways to screen for colon cancer. The science behind screening is seeking more effective ways to screen and detect cancers. The coming year will bring even more changes that we will be sure to discuss.
- Good communication is vital — The discussions about health literacy and communicating with your care team were active. More and more, cancer survivors are seeking out information and resources in a proactive manner. Remember, you're the one who needs to understand and navigate the best solutions for your own care. Don't be afraid to ask questions, clarify understanding and be comfortable with your decisions.
- Surviving cancer is stressful to the body and the mind — We are continually learning about how the stress of cancer affects the entire person. Our discussion on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) showed that many of you are dealing with anxiety and stress as a result of your cancer diagnosis. Additionally, fear of recurrence continues to be a major concern long after treatment is over.
- Cancer treatments are changing — New ways of treating cancer such as oral chemotherapy, vaccines and targeted therapy are upon us. Look for even more discussion on these topics in the coming year.
Our goal for the Living with Cancer newsletter and blog is to provide the best knowledge, resources and support to live well as a survivor. Feel free to comment with ideas and suggestions for blog topics for 2013.

I'm a student at the University of Chicago and I'm conducting research on homeopathic treatments for alopecia from chemotherapy. I would greatly appreciate 5 minutes of your time to answer a short survey on your experience. As the sister of a cancer survivor, I understand how terrible this disease is and am only looking to gather data, not sell or promote anything http://chicagobooth.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_

Went thru Breast Cancer with removal of lymphs and right breast. Through all the chemo and radiation, my worst experience was and is with chemo brain. I stay in touch with the local cancer centers and oncologist but even they are reticent about "chemo brain". My PCP has put me on aricept (dementia). Now they tell me I can't go off it without an even lower drop in cognitive/memory issues. HELP!!!!!

You now see more articles about CA in situ and the over treatment of this type of cancer. One cannot compare this type of cancer to invasive cancer with possible involvement of the lymph nodes. I underwent 5 months of chemo and have chemo brain and peripheral neuropathy. Since some people don't understand the various stages and degrees of breast cancer, they should identify some of these cancers that do not require treatment differently in all fairness to the cancer patients who have been treated.

i was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the end of 2011. i was put through a TURP surgery in february 2012. i did not have any chemo or radio therapy but my surgeon put me on flutamide 250 mg three times a day. i sleep a lot and work hard to eat right. i am hyperactive by nature so i am engaged in my garden, my study writing serious books, i cook my food since i am a widower.it is now one since i had the trans urethra resection of the prostate surgery (by scoping). my urologist stopped my flutamide yesterday and ask me to do serum testorone test.after three months i am to do a psa test and another serum testorone test.i am seventy in good health, armed with psychological, spiritual and emotional weapons.i advise cancer survivors never to brood or go into fear and self pity.just be disciplined in eating and living.

One of the mysteries about any disease is the role of destiny.Some people take all the relevant precautions and yet they die untimely deaths.Others survive.

Laurie, Had 2B breast CA, full course of treatment in 2010. Ended up with a big case of chemo brain as well. I did cognitive therapy with a group called Brain Fitness in Safety Harbor FL. Worked wonders. Go see a neurologist that works with traumatic brain injury and see if they will recommend a course of therapy for you as well. My only lingering side effect is fatigue. I walk my dogs, work full time, walk them again then fall into a coma on the couch by 8pm. I am at the YMCA 3-4 days a week with either yoga or Body Pump so the issue isn't exercise. Blood work looks solid. Eat healthy. Never been overweight. Don't drink or smoke. Any suggestions from anyone would be welcome.

Explanation to Laurie, I have seen that cancer is a psycho-somatic disease and differ from person to person. It is ONE BIG underlying reason that cause it. By being honest with ourselves and DO something about that underlying cause, that will be the start of the healing of the cancer. We are looking for complicated solutions when the answer is right under our nose. I have only been affected by tiredness-fatigue, I can concentrate on to heal from the cancer, I do not have to struggle with hard side-effects from treatments. I have my hair, healthy skin, slim muscolous body, clear mind so I function to make and do intelligent decisions. The cancer go through our 7 elimination channels-step by step. I am not done yet, but one of the elimination-channels 'The Lymphatic System' the big cleaner of the body, is working perfect, since none of my lymph-nodes has been removed. I gave myself 50/50 chance, and so far it works. Peace and quiet is important to have around, sleep a lot, exercise and a very healthy diet. Katarina

Confused. If you have had cancer since 2008 why have youhad no form of treatment? What type of cancer do you have? I was reading about chemo brain when I happened upon this. FYI chemo brain is very real. I had a 3.87 gpa and for the moment I have a hard time thinking straigght and expressing myself clearly and properly. They say it will clear up and I seriously hope so. It is not like my patients who have brain trauma, it is very different. I would like to tell other patients that I have not let this, well should I say "bump in the road" effect me emotionally though. This is just another thing that you may need to deal with in lifes journey. Some bumps seem harder and bigger than others. Always remember to look at the bright side! in my case I figure chemo is an excellent weight lose program. lol. I did not get nausia really but still lost alot. Look into PPI's (proton pump inhibitors) mine seemed to work for me very well just neeeded to double up on them. Also hey you get to try new hair do's (length color etc)There are a lot of things to drag you down in life. dont let this one be any different. Be better than it and smile for days to come. One survivor to the next=)

Happy New Year, I have had cancer ince 2008. I haven't had any traditionally treatments at all,no radiatio, surgery, chemo, hormone-treatments, medications, nothing. My treatments are: a lot of sleep-10-12 hours per night, exercise 6 days per week, vegan-diet with fish. I have no pain anywhere but I am fatigue. i do not dismiss traditional medicine, not at all. In my case I was in circumstances at the time, so I had to choose another route. I follow the disease with interest and I can see that cancer have different "stages" just like any other disease.

This find is changing the shape of lunar that's lunar surface of the lunar surface and lunar science as we've known it up until now.
Bill Nye the Science Guy joins it out volcanoes on the moon they're not erupting right.
No they're not erupting -- -- billions of years arts so why does this discovery have scientists so excited.
Because it means that the -- was more active.
Than people thought everybody figures right now that the moon was hit by something.
About four and a half billion years ago -- there was an ocean of molten lava.
Covering the entire surface is like spooky but the thing called off.
He got a lot of lunar style volcanoes which come out the Brock sick mater -- salt which is from the same word assault.
Big QB blocks of Brock came out all over the place all of these volcanoes discovery -- for yesterday.
Or not discovered got really good pictures day before yesterday.
Were made from someone else and apparently it's a radioactive decay of various.
Radioactive elements that left Oreo.
The wanna be happy radioactive elements came out on the surface so this thing was probably a bubble -- -- Bubble of magma.
That came up to the moon's surface and what this means is.
There's more to it then you thought at first is one of the two questions.
That trouble all of us John are we alone.
And where did we come for.
So when you find out more about the history of the moon.
You learn more about where we all came from mrs.
every rock tells a story as we said.
Does it go you know anywhere close to the climate change debate that's under -- here on earth I mean you know if the mountain -- -- erupting volcanoes.
A few years ago a few million years ago what our you wanna put it you know it it's not like we've been out there burning fossil fuels.
No volcanoes are not connected to the burning of fossil fuels not wanted to.
Mining but the big thing for us on -- all right of this thing.
Is that science is true.
And so when you discovered the people who got really involved and climate change.
Got involved -- that often by studying with Venus the planet Venus.
So that the physics this science that happens on Venus is the same as the science that happens on the earth.
The science that happens on the moon in this case the geology study of rocks that happens on the moon is the same science that happens on the earth.
So when you save yourself -- to ignore all the evidence of climate change -- saying.
I'm gonna ignore the best ideas anybody's ever had that's science and so this is quite troubling.
To those of us on our side of and why -- Why aren't they erupting now.
Well the moon cooled off it's a great question that's a fabulous question the moon is quite a bit smaller than the earth.
And so it cools off fast -- a small a cupcake cools off faster than a big cake.
A small rock cools off faster than a big rock it has less heat and then can I just tell you if you want to get into mathematics and algebra.
Things that are smaller have more area.
For how much they would -- -- much mass they have.
Then things that are being.
It takes a lot more -- to fill up a big -- -- allowable.
In this is the stretching the surface but anyway the mood is a lot smaller.
And so it.
Cooled off faster and this is all science this is all.
True -- the great thing about science -- waited so charm about sciences.
It's true for all of us you can run the tests.
I can run the test and we try to get the same results and we don't -- we find out why anyway these guys are excited.
There's a lunar reconnaissance order -- these fabulous pictures of this Compton.
Bulk of -- region that has this radioactive material around -- that no one really.
Had a good explanation for until recently and we have just theories and -- really sure the great thing to us exactly what happened even with the shuttle fleet park we are still exploring space in some ways I don't know look -- about this where we're gonna have to say I never wanted to -- realize that okay fine bill Nye the science and -- -- -- on you guys -- it.

Seeking Friendlier Skies
Can radar networks eliminate airplane turbulence?
- By Eric Jaffe
- Smithsonian.com, September 01, 2007, Subscribe
There's an episode of "Seinfeld" in which Kramer and the recurring character Mickey play rock-scissors-paper, for no other reason than to pass the time. Kramer chooses paper and Mickey chooses rock, yet Mickey proclaims victory. "Rock flies right through paper," he says. After a moment, they conclude that nothing, in fact, beats rock, and proceed to play a couple more rounds that end in rock-rock stalemates.
Just as Mickey thinks rock can slash through paper, I've always felt that massive airplanes should be able to zip through clouds without creating the bumps and jolts all too familiar to air travelers. At the very least, pilots should have enough advanced notice to elude these atmospheric obstacles.
So when can we truly call the skies "friendly"? When can we contour our limbs into those tiny airplane seats and eat our package of five pretzels in peace?
Turbulence is the result of powerful and unpredictable shifts in wind direction and velocity, usually brought on by thunderstorms and clouds. As a storm brews, cloud tops and precipitation create vertical shear—swirls of wind gusting up and down. These eddies of air can push plane wings in opposing directions, jostling an aircraft as a boat on wavy waters.
Pilots learn about turbulence in a couple ways. Often they overhear radio reports from other planes. Sometimes ground controllers pass along these reports to planes approaching bumpy patches, sometimes they don't. As it stands, for one pilot to learn about turbulence pretty much means another pilot elsewhere has already encountered it.
When a thunderstorm is detected, Federal Aviation Administration guidelines recommend that a pilot fly 20 miles around it, even if some air within that space is smooth. This procedure can lead to delayed landings and extra fuel costs—presumably passed on to consumers—creating another sort of turbulence, of patience and paycheck.
Fortunately for atmospheric scientists, a nationwide radar network gathers information about precipitation, cloud density, wind speed and gustiness. These data can be analyzed to create a map of turbulence. In the past, however, radar has had trouble distinguishing actual turbulence producers from data contaminants. A heavy swarm of insects can look to radar just like droplets of water, especially at night. As a result, previous attempts to use such a system have over-warned pilots, and thus been abandoned.
Within the past decade, however, scientists have improved the mathematical algorithms that interpret information gathered by radar. Computers can recognize true gusts of wind from packs of birds and bugs with greater precision. They can filter out data spoiled by sunlight or nearby, but unrelated, storms. The process is self-serving: as these data models accumulate more accurate information, they become better at identifying actual turbulence.

Early diagnosis is key
Now that the school routine is getting settled in, teachers are beginning to pick up on students' needs, to make it a successful school year.
Dr. Rich O'Neill, psychologist at SUNY Upstate, says teachers are actually good at 'diagnosing' learning disorder issues because they see the age-inappropriate behavior and can contact a parent/guardian to get more help. ADHD, he says, is easy to spot by the 'ants in your pants' restlessness, and he points out that if it's not managed, it can lead to life-long issues in education, social life and work history. Dianne Pennings, Firector of Children's Services at the Learning Disabilities Association of CNY, also has a back to school checklist, for parents of students with or without disabilities: 1. Be present at school >request a meeting, come prepared, work collaboratively 2. Re-establish students' routines >put structure (schedule) in place, with specific bedtimes, and time slots for homework and extra activities 3. Teach your child to be a self-advocate >help them learn their own personal learning style, strengths & weaknesses, what strategies will work for them. 4. Listen to your child's concerns >Listen without advice, correction or dismissal, understand why he/she 'hates' school, then dialoque and work out a plan 5. Get your student excited about organization >Have one place for supplies, create checklists, structure tasks and make sure this all works for the child. 6. Create a place for your child to shine >Strengths should be highlighted, in sports or some type of club or organization 7. Put outside of school supports in place >Don't hesitate to call in tutors or help with social skills training, or a counselor 8. Don't be consumed by your student, take care of yourself, too!
The Learning Disabilities Association is also running its 'Learning without Borders' program through the school year, aimed at 14-16 year olds. The first meeting to set up the student-directed support group is Saturday, October 15th 1 - 4pm at their East Syracuse offices (with laser tag after)--no out of pocket expenses to participate.

Anyone who has the chance should go to this. I went last year and it was well worth it.Caught two t-shirts, and got to talk with a couple players for a few seconds. You can sit so close to the action and hear everything thats going on.Wish I could go again this year.

Forever hating the nickname, the logos, and the colors. Still backing the team I've loved since 1994.
For the love of everything holy, Benson, please stuff Sir Derpington back into the nightmare from which you plucked him.

This is a very cool event the Hornets put on. Fun to watch the team scrimmage and listen to the Coach. Two years ago CP3 and Ariza made the rooks dance and sing. LOL. I've been the past couple years and really enjoyed it. Got to work this year unfortunately.
Will be there
