BMI may underestimate obesity in women
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
25 comments posted
Attention young ladies — you're fatter than you think.
At least, that's the conclusion of a study recently published in the journal "Obstetrics and Gynecology." The study offers evidence that body mass index (BMI) — the standard for determining whether someone is obese — may not be accurate in women between 20 and 33 years of age. In fact, BMI failed to identify nearly half of the women in the study who were obese.
BMI is calculated by taking your weight in kilograms and dividing it by your height in meters squared. This method has been used to classify overweight and obesity for decades. BMI is also used to determine weight loss strategies, including whether weight loss surgery is indicated — and whether insurance will cover it.
How did researchers uncover the BMI problem? In addition to calculating BMI scores, they used body scans to determine body fat composition. Based on BMI, 37 percent of the women were considered obese. However, the body scans revealed that 63 percent of the women were actually obese. The study's authors suggest that additional research is needed to determine more accurate BMI cutoffs for women.
So what? This means we're fatter than we thought? It also means that the obesity epidemic — at least for young women — is more serious than we thought. Many young women with obesity are erroneously being deemed "normal weight" or "overweight" and therefore aren't getting appropriate health advice. And we know that obesity increases the risk of serious health problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
What's your BMI? What does it mean to you?

When The Passion Returned
Heaven has a better selection committee than the Hockey Hall of Fame.
That was my initial reaction upon hearing that Pat Burns, three-time winner of the Jack Adams Award, had died on November 19, 2010.
I have no personal grudges against anyone on the panel responsible for choosing the 2010 inductees. How could someone who grew up a Leafs fan possibly hate Jim Gregory, Pat Quinn, Mike Gartner, or Lanny McDonald? Being of Slovak stock, I can't bear ill will toward Peter Stastny and everyone else in the select group of 18 deserves his spot on the vote squad.
We all make mistakes, and whether the HHOF selection committee considers not inducting Pat Burns while alive to be such an error is a matter for their collective conscience, not mine.
After the initial moments of silence, my mind filled with memories of the Pat Burns era in Toronto Maple Leafs history. The irony was that a few days earlier I had been talking about how the 20th anniversary of the Great Playoff Run of '93 was fast approaching, and how wonderful it would be to have an anniversary remake of The Passion Returns. (Paging Chris Clarke, paging Chris Clarke. But I'll take a pass on re-recording "Leafs Are The Best," please and thank you.)
I'll remember Pat Burns but not in the generic way we often have of honouring celebrities from afar. What Burns accomplished with the Leafs reignited my Leafs passion, the craziness that had me cancel all other plans and activities during game time.
Growing up in the 1970s, my hockey world revolved around the Leafs. When a neighbour enrolled me in the local Girl Guides troop that met on Wednesdays, I quit. After all, that was Leafs game night on CHCH TV out of Hamilton and there was no way I could miss out on that, not with Dave Hodge and Dick Beddoes adding splash and dash to the festivities.
That was followed by the 80s, best summed up by the immortal words of Forrest Gump: "And that's all I have to say about that."
There was a faint tinge of Wendel Clark's star power fighting its way through the dark clouds of Harold Ballard's shadow but my eyes had wandered towards Tonawanda. I had taken to watching the Buffalo Sabres solely because of Alexander Mogilny. Long before he joined the Leafs in 2001, as early as the 1987 World Junior Championship, his hockey talents had caught my eye and I watched every Sabres game possible to appreciate his innate stick and puck wizardry.
Just as Mogilny's career was off the runway and reaching cruising height, I had one more reason to celebrate. On January 16, 1991 my man-crush, Peter Zezel, became a Toronto Maple Leaf. No more trips to Metro Ref from my suburban digs to scour through out of town newspapers in search of stories on my favourite centre.
There were still some pains for Leafs fans (okay, so there are always some pains for Leafs fans) until Pat Burns brought his tonic to Toronto. Whatever was in that remedy it had me, for the first time in a decade, putting everything on the backburner to watch my Blue and White.
Despite the heartrending Game 6 loss to Los Angeles in the 1993 Conference Final, I never again lost my Leafs passion. Not even the time a former member of the '93 Leafs shot me a nasty stare when I told him, "There was a game 7." (Note to self: Never, ever, ever do that again!)
I've been fortunate enough to sit in the press box at Air Canada Centre a few times and have mastered the art of not cheering, of doing my job to observe, record and tell stories. What my seat mates may not have realized was that beneath the silent surface, a czardas was whirling through my hockey heart.
And for that, I thank Pat Burns.
Monika Moravan is a Toronto-based freelance writer, editor and researcher. She is the Ontario editor for The Society for International Hockey Research's newsletter.
Pat Burns will be laid to rest today in Montreal.

Does Lilo have a Valentine's Day date?
LINDSAY LOHAN may have found a new guy. His name is Julian Cavin, and he's a 22-year-old club DJ in New York City. Lindsay hit up one of his gigs Friday night, and the two of them were, quote, "sucking face in front of everyone."
A source says, quote, "'Dating' may be too heavy of a word to use right now. They haven't been hooking up that long. [But] they spent all weekend together and they're seeing each other."
DWTS Cast to be announced on GMA!
ABC announced that the 12 celebs competing in the 16th season of Dancing With The Stars will be unveiled LIVE on GMA on Tuesday, Feb 26th.
Rumored cast members: former Bachelorette Emily Maynard, boxer Victor Ortiz and Miss Alabama, Katherine Webb.
If you're not watch "The Walking Dead" on AMC...you're missing out!
The show attracted 12.3 million people on Sunday night. It was the show's midseason return - after taking a two-month break in the middle of its third season.
It was "The Walking Dead's" biggest audience EVER, and it went up against the Grammys. Its previous high was the 10.9 million viewers who tuned in for the third season premiere back in October.
Here's some perspective: Last Thursday's "American Idol" had just 13.3 million viewers . . . and "The Walking Dead" not only almost beat it in total viewers, it crushed "Idol" in the all-important demographic of 18-to-49-year-olds.
"The Walking Dead" amassed a basic cable record of 7.7 million viewers in that demo, while "Idol" only had 5.2 million.
On top of that, if you include "The Walking Dead's" encores, which aired after the original premiere, the episode drew 16.6 million total viewers. That beats "Idol", and would make it one of the hottest shows in ALL of TV.
How did this dude make it to the stage of The Grammys?
Some random dude crashed the stage at the Grammys when ADELE went up to accept her award for Best Pop Solo Performance.
It all happened pretty quickly. The guy just seemed to appear onstage as Adele came up and said something like, quote, "It's such an honor to receive this award . . . I love you, Adele."
JENNIFER LOPEZ, who was presenting the award, gestured for him to leave, and he did. He walked backstage directly behind them.
The guy is a Ukrainian prankster named Vitalli Sediuk. (Same guy who WILL SMITH(lightly) slapped at the Moscow premiere of "Men in Black 3" last May after he tried to KISS WILL ON THE LIPS.)
Vitalli was captured by security backstage and was later arrested for TRESPASSING.
He didn't have a ticket or any credentials to get IN to the Grammys he actually SNUCK in. He was wearing a tux and some glasses, and supposedly just strolled right in alongside KATY PERRY.
He just sat down in the SECOND ROW in a seat assigned to ADAM LEVINE. Coincidentally, Adam was running late, and when he came he sat somewhere else when he noticed his seat had already been filled.
So why DOES Taylor Swift write about her ex-beaus?
In a new interview with "Elle" magazine, Taylor says she isn't using her songwriting to get back at anyone. She says writing about failed relationships just makes her FEEL BETTER.
She also claims she doesn't freak out on her boyfriends.
She says, quote, "I don't think I've ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend. Ever. I'm not a yeller. I'm not a fit thrower. If something is done, it's done."

Lobster, American
(U.S. Southern New England, Trap, Pot)
American lobsters from the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank are "Good Alternatives," but "Avoid" lobster from Southern New England.
The Maine lobster trap fishery is certified as sustainable to the standard of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) .
Market Names:
Maine lobster
Consumer Notes:
American lobster can come from throughout the Northeastern U.S. and Canada, but is also marketed as "Maine lobster."
American lobster, also known as Maine lobster, is found from Newfoundland, Canada to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. There are three U.S. fisheries - Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank and Southern New England. The vast majority of lobster is trap-caught, with a small fraction from trawl fisheries.
American lobster is a long-lived species - up to 100 years - and slow to mature; traits that make it vulnerable to overfishing. However, stock assessments show that northern lobster populations have been increasing steadily for the last twenty years. The Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank fisheries - which account for approximately 97% of all U.S. American lobster landings - are considered well managed, with healthy and abundant populations. The Southern New England lobster population, however, has been in a decline since the late 1990's and remained at depleted levels since then.
Bycatch is not often an issue in trap fisheries, however, this fishery is classified a Category I (high risk) by the National Marine Fisheries Service due to the risk to North Atlantic right whales - one of the most critically endangered whales in the world. Though the fishery is complying with all the regulations, whales continue to become entangled in lobster fishing gear, in large part because of the sheer volume of gear in the water.

Will bank downgrade rock recovery?

Credit rating agency Moody's slams 15 global banks
Jun 23, 2012
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- great shot that could rock the -- economy.
Credit rating agency Moody's slapping down fifteen global banks including five major US once.
And it hits as we find out homeownership is filing manufacturing is slowing and job creators are not doing much hiring.
So did these downgrades just upgrade the chance of another recession.
I -- when I'm Lori -- in for Brenda Buttner and this is Bulls and Bears.
The moment there -- this week Gary.
They're very concerned I mean I think this the markets are -- did this downgrade in my opinion -- the reason why you know market was up a bit today.
I've been saying since January that the market has is going to have trouble there's going to be continued volatility.
Going into the November election and I stick with that point I believe that the banks have severe problems.
Lending to small businesses is going to continue to be a problem and they're gonna need to look to other ways.
Whether it be ATM fees increased or quarterly statements that they're gonna have to charge ordered ordered -- -- Gary I know you know Essen.
-- now I agree laureates in May it was kind of silly -- group most of Kyle's point but this is trying to after the fact you know basically Moody's came out said.
Banks are going to be having trouble they are making as much money as I have in the past will be no big deal that doesn't know about big.
But captain obvious to the rescue but Kyle made -- the other good points and I do think the economy's in trouble basically.
We spent almost a torn dollars in stimulus we still have high unemployment.
It's not going anywhere we have tax increases.
Coming at the the bush -- tax credits expire we've seen really nothing good out of this economy and until people.
Start to get back working that's gonna start everything I don't see that.
Leveling off or are picking up any time -- that's what has me worried.
Lest you had the Fed with a knockout punch this week downgrading its assessment of the -- and and -- Toby I mean it could this downgraded the banks that Estrada breaks the camel's back for the US economy well.
You know but it it it could be -- -- he's a different reason remember that that the banks are out there already aren't letting his much chances -- normally half and they were just sort of go -- if you look it's actual numbers small business flooding actually is up quarter over quarter we started to get to that point.
Now with these -- without getting all the criteria they -- -- takes -- look at the big break coming -- put it up as collateral for all the stuff they've been -- fact that what what I think you're -- happen though -- I think you're gonna -- these regulators moved the goalposts -- -- -- so that they get extra time to -- this because this is a political weight and right now -- this is the one thing that could -- down.
Banks caught between a rock and a hard place in the sense because they're under now increase pressure to raise capital and keep their -- -- balance -- steady.
And firm at the same time -- under pressure -- right to continue lending to keep the growth engine moving along.
That's the news ironic dual mandate yeah.
System you have to lend money to losers but definitely are and -- and cats led investors to downgrade these banks about five years ago for the bank's stock to the worst report.
On the -- -- -- pretty much anywhere.
The bigs -- guys who were on Friday after the downgraded to a care's ability -- anymore at this point since just about eight years later on the rating that race.
I will say that the did the danger is that banks get -- you want it to actually get along Iraq wasn't his point that they get economy going to -- money people a little money down by real estate start a business that's a good thing don't you played safe and you only get a -- loan money the triple -- credits to people out there.
But you only -- -- Montreal people refinance who have good credit that's not gonna get us out of his slow growth economy so we want banks to get a little bar yeah two thousands and.
-- interest rates mortgage rates are at historic lows right now and making it even tougher for people Oprah banked -- alone might restraints -- so much now that it.
Exactly it even near the banks are that it.
It cannot operate under any kind of free market environment are so shackled.
Right now I mean let banks run free let them take -- what the problem.
-- -- we have this -- -- big to fail kind of thing and because there we have that that we also have all these restrictions.
The Jonas alluded to so they can only -- to people who don't need the money.
For -- -- even refinance my mortgage and ridiculous.
How hot dry -- a -- I got I could not.
That's a problem with the system where if we if the -- unshackled that they and end they were allowed to -- by the way but they should have been back in 2008.
Then we'd have a much stronger economy right now I think.
You know yet -- paying David Mercer is that downgrade again it's just about the financial industry.
It's not signaling that that the banks are any -- -- all of the imploding.
And or does -- signal that the economy.
Is going to implode as well and we shouldn't be taking the recent downgrade as an indicator.
That you throw the baby -- about -- look we've created four point two million.
Private sector jobs let's not forget that we created 435000.
Manufacturing jobs that drug put my money -- bets on.
And we should be encouraging and and you and raising the flag on that not raising a white flag because the banks got a downgrade and saying let's pack our bags the economy's going down.
Well wait I -- I -- all the hate and you know it you know and I feel like I feel like I'm like a John Kasich an Ohio governor of Ohio or Rick Scott out of Florida championing all the positive trends yet the Romney campaign is asking me.
Two I don't play that Lucy catcher he's get a lot of conflict with my fellow Kyle -- -- you.
You didn't -- that.
I -- -- I think that the regulatory environment is increased dramatically and unless they -- as Toby was alluding to let the shackles come off.
This this marketplace is gonna stay exactly where it is today and it's -- to try to long.
The banks you know would we weren't regulatory.
Did not get in the way two billion dollars and counting losses -- at JPMorgan ultimately.
David -- -- little -- -- -- -- yeah.
-- and now there's a lot and I think a lot of people.
In terms of mortgage rates in terms of my banking fees Jonas -- -- here what do you think the downgrade will ultimately mean at the end of the day.
Were in the election year there's a lot going on a lot more bad news on the economy in good news.
How does it sort out at the end let's say after the election.
If it raises the cost of borrowing banks and alternately it's gonna raise the cost of borrowing consumers it means credit cards mortgages etc.
-- him a little more expensive right now there'd -- ridiculously low levels for any kind of long however.
You've got to be a good credit risk to a bank it -- -- this is banks -- just they've they've lost faith in the American consumer ability payback alone.
They'd rather gamble brawl with the money it's what you saw going on do you warned that it's a better return on investment.
So you wanna see look at it banks are risky -- people thought they -- a few years ago.
That's great they need to make car loans to to keep the economy going with just acknowledge and it's a higher risk business than we originally thought about six years ago.
Yeah obviously you like that the banks are going to -- it bears points -- perfect five years and it is BetaNews flat up the bigger issue here is are they wouldn't have more constraints come out of the bag when -- just getting going we didn't get them in the bud.
It would two billion dollars left by GP Barnes and yeah.
I have -- lot of -- come on you guys it's not regulates and you just lost two million dollar -- -- -- a little bit regulates it detonated a bit about it but I think it was -- yesterday I was accidentally regularly I want other players -- money credit.
Ratings agencies because you guys alluded to this that they lots a lot of credibility especially after.
The 2007 financial crisis rating all those sub prime mortgage backed securities today AAA yeah.
We obviously the country's sovereign debt -- downgrade last summer so anyhow its credit -- -- these ratings agencies and again how quickly will we -- passes and is this the real problem on the economy is back weeks probably not -- and.
It was yeah -- in the World -- there's a lot of ratings -- wrong by the rating agencies it's very likely that people that really can bring these things partly due to meet with their -- more Bible that actually rained upon.
And it's a question of his model anyway I think what happens -- this kind of marketplace is the -- -- swings so.
Now -- the credit regions it rating agencies are gonna jump on the bandwagon right away gotta go guys thanks so much.

Are you ready for bed with your favorite pal? Go to sleep with the Fisher-Price Cuddle and Glow Minnie Mouse! "You're such a sweet friend!" Minnie Mouse is in her sleepytime pajamas. This cuddly 10-inch tall Minnie doll is ready for bedtime in her pink jammies. Squeeze her belly for bedtime Music and Phrases. Her pink bow will softly glow as Minnie speaks and sings.Since 1930, Fisher-Price has been in business to create toys that fascinate and stimulate a child's imagination. Fisher-Price was founded in 1930, hardly the best time to launch a new business as the shadows of the Depression still loomed over American business. Still, Herman Fisher, Irving Price and Helen Schelle combined their diverse manufacturing and retailing experience to create a toy company and confidently brought 16 wooden toys to the International Toy Fair in New York City. The whimsical nature and magical surprises of those first Fisher-Price toys quickly caught on and became the hallmarks of Fisher-Price ever since. Fisher-Price believes in the potential of children and in the importance of a supportive environment in which they can grow, learn, and get the best possible start in life. Fisher-Price supports today's families with young children through our breadth of products that includes GeoTrax, Imaginext, Little People, Laugh and Learn, Thomas the Tank, Thomas and Friends, Elmo, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Sesame Street, Smart Cycle, Ni Hao Kai-Lan, Toy Story and other learning toys and pretend play items.

My daughter loves Minnie Mouse! With products that usually make noise, the battery has to be changed a lot or it's hard and repeats one thing over and over. That is not the case with this Minnie. She is soft and cuddly, since I bought her we have had the same batteries in her and she has more than one phrase. She has only one volume setting and it is soothing. My daughter will take her to bed and she is asleep within minutes. I would definitely recommend this toy to anyone!!

My 18 mo old grandaughter was having trouble with the scarey monster in the closet & under the bed.First night with Minnie and it was all gone. She could press the tummy and have a night light and a soothing lullaby. If she woke up during the night, she just did it all over again and was back to sleep on her own. Love it - great idea!
I would buy this product again & again

A few weeks ago I realised that it was time to renew my mobile phone contract. I say I realised, because O2 didn't bother to let me know my time was up. But why would they, they had a sweet deal. I give them money evey month and they give me very little in return. So, off to the online upgrade centre I went.
First of all, it was obvious that not only had O2 upgraded the upgrade site since I had last used it, but they had in my own opinion, made it functionally worse. No longer was it easy for me to see all the upgrade options, no. Now I was forced to look at available phones by manufacturer with no view all option. Still, the choice was obvious: Nokia. I've used Nokia's since I first started using mobile phones back in 2000. With the exception of one year when I got a Samsung – that was a mistake. Imagine my surprise when looking on the available upgrade options that there were no Nokia phones better then the one I was already using, a phone I'd had for 18 months. To make matters worse, none of the phones appeared to be any better from any manufacturer from the phone I was already using, an N95 8GB. None that is, except for Apple.
Now, O2 currently has en exclusive deal with Apple meaning only O2 can sell iPhones in the UK, at least until November that is. My iPhone options were limited – the only model in stock was a White 32GB 3GS. To make things worse, the phone was expensive. I've never paid money for a phone before, instead allowing the contract to provide me with a free phone. Selecting the most expensive contract still did not make the iPhone free. I was stuck.
The next day I went on again, determined to get a new phone. After looking at my options again, I went for the iPhone. It cost me £274 to upgrade to it. Ouch. However, I take solace in the fact that I now have a cheaper contract (£30 a month instead of £35) and I should get £150 for the old N95 8GB meaning overall, after the 18 month contract the iPhone will actually have cost me £34. Which isn't actually too bad. Now I know what you're thinking – such a cheap contract can't give me many free minutes or texts and you'd be right – it barely gives me anything at all aside from the convenience of not having to top up. What it does do however, is give me access to the internet and importantly my email where ever I am (as long as O2′s moderate network coverage covers me that is)! As a web developer, I find this an invaluable addition to my life.
So, several days later the iPhone arrives. The first thing you notice is the box. It's small. Very small. Much smaller than any other mobile phone box I've seen in the past. But don't be fooled by this size – the box is made to a ridiculously high quality. Opening the box reveals more exciting goodies – and a very well arranged content. From the top there's the iPhone, then a little pinch pull which reveals the lower compartment and contains the quick start guide. The lower compartment contains an iPhone connector USB cable, USB socketed power plug (beautifully designed) and the less exciting iPod headphones. The box doesn't contain a manual – just a quick start guide. Although, the phones use is almost self explanatory.
Turning on the phone reveals its high value. Beautiful design, magnificent finger response on the touch screen – it really is a marvel of human ingenuity and progress. The oleophobic coating of the 3GS is an interesting addition. It certainly makes removing finger prints quite easy and if you have dry enough skin like I do, you don't actually leave any finger prints at all (this makes you less willing to let other people have a play, as they'll more often than not return it covered in their finger grease). One thing I did notice is that this coating has not been applied to the main press button – which is a shame.
Changing the settings of the phone is quite simple – just press the settings option and everything you need is right in front of you. The default selection of installed software is more than you've ever had on a phone before – maps with GPS being my favourite. And of course safari – browsing the web with a real web browser finally! It's quite hard to fault the phone at all; the user interface is inspired, it's very fast – at least compared to my old phone, apps. Apps. The app store – who'd have thought how good it was! Remember all those years ago at the back of magazines there were adverts for mobile phone game downloads, wallpapers, ringtones etc? Well, I never bought any. Ever. One week with the appstore and I'd already spent £20 – and most of that on 59p and free apps. Genius.
There's an app for everything. Really. Have a look at all the apps I have installed at the moment – yes, they've even managed to put SimCity on the thing. And not the original PC version, no. It's pretty much the latest SimCity 4. Amazing stuff. Gowalla is another game, based on world locations. Simply visiting a spot and checking in. All powered through the Global Positioning System. It's all quite exciting! We can't forget Peggle of course, that fantastic flash based web game – converted for iPhone (as the iPhone can't use flash).
So there we go. The iPhone is amazing. Get one if you haven't already.
But, I can't let it end there. No sir. When I walked into work with the thing, people were set a gasp. But why? There are plenty of people with iPhones. Of course, they all Mac lovers and fanboys. So what's so special with me? Well, I don't really get on with OSX – it's not my cup of tea. I much prefer Windows. Which, apparently means I shouldn't like the iPhone in some peoples eyes. But you can't deny the sheer quality and usability of the iPhone – they've taken years upon years of Nokia development and somehow just made it even better. So I don't have to like Macs – the phone doesn't suffer from the things I don't like on macs – small window buttons, menus all over the place and a dodgy 'finder'.
Are there any problems with it? Well yes. The biggest one being the battery. Now, it's a powerful phone. Very powerful. I have more stuff going on than I ever did on the Nokia, and in a cleaner, crisper, faster more powerful way. So it's obvious the battery will drain faster isn't it. Yes, of course, so why complain? Well because of the slight oversight of the battery. The battery in the iPhone is of the same capacity as my old N95 – a phone with half as much processing power, less memory and less reason to use it constantly. Two or three times the capacity would have been much better even if it did add an extra 1mm to the thickness of the phone.
The camera could be seen as a problem, being only 3 megapixels. But then, I have a real camera for that so for me it's not an issue. iTunes, as functional as it is, is a butt ugly grey square on my otherwise shiny, glossy Windows 7 desktop. It would have been nice if the iTunes developers had used the actual operating system windowing elements rather than forcing them to all look so ugly. Shame on you. And 9 minutes for snooze with no way to alter it? Boo!
That's pretty much my round up – you can see from the pictures I have partially solved the battery problem though. An additional slot on battery pack called the MiLi which increases the overall battery capacity to 300%.

I'm currently a tech, and hope to be a general when I take my test on 11/6.
Wish me luck....LOL
I have a Yaesu FT-840, hopefully an MFJ tuner like the 949e and a g5rv, possibly assembled by myself instead of buying one of those cheaply made jobs. I intend to raise the center of the g5rv to about 30 feet, through a pvc-type mast. The ends being almost that height, at the standard length of 102 feet.
I have come across a 500 foot spool of rg-58 a/u for next to nothing on craigslist, and I was thinking about using this as the main elements of the dipole, instead of purchasing additional wire.
My first question would be, is the rg-58 an acceptable replacement for regular wire on the g5rv?
Should I set up the rg-58 as a type of zepp dipole with the twin lead?
With 100 watts tops, will I see a major advantage at 40 feet vs. 30? (personal experience from you guys)
I live in North Florida, about 15 miles from the ocean. I'd love to work some European stations, so my first thought is to orient this in a North/South config, but I don't want to miss out on my friends so close in South America..lol I think I'll fill some buckets with concrete and 30 foot pvc poles so I can walk the ends around the yard...Haaa!!

May 7, 2013 — Maybe it's only the beginning of May, but a long and potentially devastating fire season may have already begun in the state of California.
At deadline last Thursday, firefighters in Southern California were battling a scary blaze they fear may burn all the way to the ocean. Hundreds of residents have been forced to evacuate their homes. Closer to home, two fires raged last week near Quincy and other fires burned in Tehama and Butte counties.
April 30, 2013 — I realize 'Bob' is a common name, but my life seems to be peppered with an uncanny number of them.
There's probably always been a Bob somewhere in my life; the first one I remember was 'Bobby,' the kind, handsome man who married my older sister. And I was married to a Bob for a good long while.
But, lately, at least for the past year or so, the Bobs have been proliferating. They seem to turn up everywhere.

Rebecca De Mornay Movies
An actress of striking beauty, impossible strawberry-blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes,
Rebecca De Mornay
's compelling choice of roles shows an actress unafraid to take risks, even if those risks ultimately don't pay off as anticipated. From an unhinged performance in
The Hand that Rocks the Cradle
(1992) to a touching turn as a cancer survivor on television's popular
De Mornay
has consistently proven herself adept at virtually any genre, and equally convincing no matter how unconventional each role may be. The Santa Rosa, CA, native's parents divorced when she was just two, and three years later young
would assume the surname of her stepfather when adopted at age five. Following her primary education at England's prestigious Summerhill Boarding School, the aspiring actress would earn her high school degree in Kitzbühel, Austria, where she graduated summa cum laude.
De Mornay
's training as an actress came when she enrolled in New York's acclaimed Lee Strausberg Institute, and she was soon hired by Zoetrope Studios to appear in director
Francis Ford Coppola
's romantic drama
One From the Heart
(1982). Though her role in that particular film was relatively minor, it was only a year later that the up-and-coming actress was making a splash in show business opposite
Tom Cruise
in the runaway box-office hit
Risky Business
. Subsequent roles in
(1983) and
The Trip to Bountiful
(1985) showed that
De Mornay
's onscreen talent was no doubt growing, and following a high-profile role in the thriller
Runaway Train
(1985), she essayed a demanding role in the ambitious box-office failure
And God Created Woman
. Though
De Mornay
would strike big in the early '90s with an intensely psychotic performance in
The Hand that Rocks the Cradle
(1992) and a solid supporting role in the previous year's
, the remainder of the decade found her wallowing in a glut of low-budget thrillers attempting to capitalize on her frightful performance in
The Hand that Rocks the Cradle
The new millennium found the talented actress still struggling to overcome her association with thrillers, and the heartwarming made-for-television drama
Range of Motion
proved without a doubt that she was indeed capable of greater things. Following a pair of impressive small-screen performances in
A Girl Thing
(2001) and
Salem Witch Trials
(2002), a virtually unrecognizable
De Mornay
turned up as a demanding screen diva in the 2003 sleeper thriller
. A cameo in the hit 2005 comedy Wedding Crashers followed, and in 2010 De Mornay once again terrified moviegoers as a malevolent martriarch in the horror remake Mother's Day. Outside of film work,
De Mornay
has been cited for her on-stage performances in the Pasadena Playhouse production of Born Yesterday, and in 1995 she made her directing debut with an episode of The Outer Limits entitled "
The Conversation
." ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The story of celebrated public speaker Richard Pimentel comes to the screen in this biographical drama starring Ron Livingston, Melissa George, Rebecca De Mornay, and Hector Elizondo. As a young man, Pimentel (Ron Livingston) realized he had a remarkable gift for public speaking. Pimentel's idol is College Bowl founder Dr. Padrow (Elizondo), but upon trying out for Dr. Padrow, the ambitious young speaker is informed that he won't have anything to talk about until he has lived a full life. Realizing that there is some merit to Dr. Padrow's observation, Pimenel subsequently enlists in the military and prepares for duty in Vietnam. Later, while fighting on the battlefield, Pimentel loses his hearing and returns home disabled. Frustrated when others inform him that he will never achieve his dreams due to the fact that he is disabled, the determined veteran makes it his mission to prove them wrong. But it isn't as much about changing others' perceptions of the disabled as it is about altering their perceptions of themselves, and with a little help from foul-mouthed, cerebral palsy-stricken genius Art Honeyman (Michael Sheen), free-spirited beauty Christine (George), and mercurial, hard-drinking veteran Mike Stoltz (Yul Vázquez), Pimentel will play a pivotal role in creating the Americans With Disabilities Act, and finally discover his inner music. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A competitive figure skater with Olympic aspirations turns her back on the sport by escaping to Canada in director Bruce Sweeney's border hopping family drama. Celia (Rebecca De Mornay) is an uncompromising coach determined to push her daughter Jenna (Jane McGregor) towards an Olympic gold metal. After Jenna's routine in the national figure skating finals proves less than stellar, the dejected young girl decides to escape her demanding mother by fleeing to Vancouver. Though Jenna's father is diligent in keeping his daughter's current location a secret from the fierce Celia, the gun-toting mother's determination ultimately proves too powerful to deny and she is soon off to collect her daughter. Upon attempting to cross the border, Celia begins to get a taste of just how different life in Canada is when the border guards take possession of her registered firearm. It seems that Jenna too has grown weary of living in a land where aggression does not stand, leaving both mother and daughter adrift in some strange land that neither can truly call home. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Created by the same team responsible for the quirky, iconoclastic HBO western series Deadwood, John from Cincinnati was a magical mystery tour of the California surfing scene. Set in the town of Imperial Beach, the story focused on the multigenerational Yost family, led by Mitch Yost (Bruce Greenwood), a onetime surfing legend who had been forcibly retired (except for a few early-morning forays into the waves) by a serious knee injury. The fall of the Yost fortunes had a deleterious effect upon Mitch's son Butchie (Brian Van Holt), who had become a seemingly hopeless druggie; conversely, Butchie's own son Shaun (Grayson Fletcher) was a surfing phenom who bade fare to surpass his grandfather's celebrity--if he ever got the chance. Holding the family together was Mitch's levelheaded wife Cissy (Rebecca De Mornay), owner of the surfing-goods store that provided their income. Into this dysfunctional family unit came a fabulously wealthy and truly bizarre dude known as John Monad (Austin Nichols), who when pressed for details identified himself as "John from Cincinnati." Outwardly a boorish dimwit with an annoying habit of repeating everyone else's conversations, John was clearly operating on some Higher Plane or other, implicitly possessing the ability to heal the sick and revive the dead, and holding out the hope of redemption for the fractured Yosts. With John in the vicinity, no one found it odd that, for example, Mitch suddenly developed the ability to float in the air; everyone seemed to accept the newcomer without question or prejudice. Only the Yosts' friend Bill Jacks (Ed O'Neill), a fancier of birds and pro wrestlers, distrusted John and his motives, suspecting that he was more Satan than Saint. The series' events--subtly but inextricably linking each character with the other--unfolded in a leisurely, day-by-day "need to know" basis, with small, tantalyzing clues as to the story's outcome (Rapture? Armageddon? The Perfect Wave?) buried within each episode. Cocreated by Deadwood's David Milch and "surf noir" novelist Kern Nunn, and featuring Luke Perry and Deadwood alumnus Jim Beaver in key supporting roles, John from Cincinnati began its HBO run on June 10, 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Lords of Dogtown

The true story of the kids who created modern skateboard culture is recreated in this drama. In the early '70s, skateboards were seen as a fad of the 1960s that had all but died out, but in a rough-and-tumble Venice, CA community known as "Dogtown," that was about to change. Tony Alva (Victor Rasuk), Stacy Peralta (John Robinson), and Jay Adams (Emile Hirsch) were three guys who liked to surf the rugged beaches around Venice and hung out at the Zephyr Surf Shop, a store run by Skip Engblom (Heath Ledger) that stocked gear for adventurous surfers and skateboarders. With the advent of new urethane wheels that connected with concrete in a way old metal and rubber wheels could not, Tony, Stacy, and Jay began exploring ways to translate radical surf style to skateboarding, and the guys invented a new way to skate inside the smooth, round surfaces of empty pools, employing vertical moves and edge flips that added a new and dramatic spin to skating. It didn't take long for word to spread about the wild new style of the Z-Boys, and they quickly became local celebrities, and later nationwide skating stars, though sudden fame took its toll on these young men. The true story of Lords of Dogtown was previously the basis of the acclaimed documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys, directed by former Z-Boy Stacy Peralta, who like Tony Alva served as a consultant on this project. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Two guys find out the hard way that sneaking into the wrong party can cause serious problems in this comedy. Jeremy Klein (Vince Vaughn) and John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) are a pair of longtime friends who work for a law firm, helping contentious couples mediate their divorces. Their job has given them a cynical attitude about marriage, and as a hobby each weekend the two make a point of crashing weddings reception, where they load up on free food and booze and try their luck at seducing the bridesmaids. When William Cleary (Christopher Walken), the nation's Secretary of the Treasury and a possible candidate for the Presidency, announces his daughter is to wed, the nuptials are billed as the social event of the year, and Jeremy and John decide they must attend the reception. However, John makes the mistake of falling head over heels for Claire (Rachel McAdams), the bride's sister, while Jeremy attracts the attentions of a woman he'd prefer not to be involved with, and soon their romantic peccadilloes get them in very hot water. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A teenage girl learns that reaching for your dreams isn't always easy in this heartfelt drama with music. Terri Fletcher (Hilary Duff) is a small-town girl with a great love of music and a fine singing voice.

Add Salem Witch Trials to top of Queue
In the tradition of Arthur Miller's McCarthy-era play The Crucible, this two-part TV dramatization of the Salem Witch Trials was heavily influenced by the present-day political scene. Rev. Parris (Henry Czerny), spiritual leader of Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, needs a unifying issue to end the intramural squabbling between the town's Puritans. When the daughters of Ann and Thomas Putnam (Kirstie Alley and Jay O. Sanders) begin behaving in a bizarre, disruptive fashion, Parris knows that he has found something that can be transformed into a target of unilateral hatred for his flock. Before long, the Putnam girls and the family's servant Titubea (Gloria Reuben) have been labeled as witches, and eventually the hysteria spreads throughout the town, with anyone who doesn't agree with the status quo running the risk of public ostracism, and ultimately, execution for witchcraft (the eventual fate of 20 unfortunates). The climax is devoted to the notorious witch trials, staged at the behest of the Massachusetts colony's politically ambitious deputy governor (Peter Ustinov). Shirley MacLaine makes a rare TV appearance as the ill-fated Rebecca Nurse. Salem Witch Trials was presented by CBS on March 2 and 4, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

As the result of a freak accident, Jay Berman (Barclay Hope) lies comatose in a hospital bed. Despite the admonitions of friends, family members and medical experts, Jay's steadfast wife, Lainey (Rebecca De Mornay), and the couple's young daughters refuse to accept the negative prognosis that Jay will never snap out of his coma, tenaciously holding on to the faint hope that he will somehow revive before the Christmas holidays. During her long vigil in the hospital, Lainey befriends Ted Merrick (Henry Czerny), whose own wife is in an irreversible coma, and whose response to the tragedy provides a startling contrast to Lainey's unswerving faith. Meanwhile, Lainey's loyal best friend, Alice (Melanie Mayron), experiences marital strife of a different variety as she tries to keep the Berman family's spirits up. Adapted from a novel by former nurse Elizabeth Berg, the made-for-cable Range of Motion was shown over the Lifetime network on December 4, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A couple's jealousy and infidelity turns violent, with another man caught in the middle, in this adult-themed thriller. Ruth (Rebecca DeMornay) and Matt (Michael Rooker) do not have the healthiest relationship of any married couple you might meet. While their sexual passion for each other runs strong, they also have just as deep a reserve of murderous hatred; Matt keeps hiding his gun in different parts of the house in case he feels like using it against his wife, and Ruth keeps setting up complicated booby traps to kill Matt that don't ever work quite right. Matt's job selling pharmaceuticals to veterinary hospitals keeps him on the road much of the time, but what Ruth doesn't know is that Matt has other reasons for being away -- Matt has another wife in a small town in the country, and he shuttles back and forth between his two families with neither knowing of the other's existence. Ruth, in an effort to simultaneously punish Matt and make him jealous, turns her attentions to Tom (Mark Rolston), her next door neighbor, and she soon snares him in a dangerous web of sexual gamesmanship. Wicked Ways, which Rooker and DeMornay co-produced, was also released under the title A Table for One. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New second-year resident Malucchi (aka "Dr. Dave," played by Erik Palladino), manages to rub the entire staff the wrong way, especially Carter (Noah Wyle) during a medical crisis at a construction site.

Getting things off to a lively start, a truck crash through a coffee shop window results in a larger than usual volume of ER patients. Elsewhere, rumors fly that the prickly Dr. Romano (Paul McCrane) will replace the retiring Dr. Anspaugh as chief of staff -- a contingency that Greene (Anthony Edwards) tries to prevent, only to be ruthlessly undercut by the ambitious Weaver (Laura Innes). John Carter (Noah Wyle) treats his former sister-in-law Elaine (Rebecca De Mornay) after she has a minor accident, thereby triggering a whole new romantic chapter in Carter's life.

When Pointy sets up Mackin, Mackin is forced to retaliate, and before long both men and their associates are in the middle of a war neither is especially interested in winning, which begins to escalate in comic fashion.

The Winner
After director Alex Cox alienated the powers that be in Hollywood with Straight to Hell and Walker, his anarchic follow-ups to Repo Man and Sid and Nancy, it would be nearly a decade before he made a film in the United States again. After making the critically acclaimed, underseen Highway Patrolman in Mexico, he agreed to direct The Winner, based on the play A Darker Purpose by Wendy Riss. Vincent D'Onofrio stars as Philip, a soft-spoken, rather dimwitted young man who stumbles into an incredible lucky streak in Las Vegas. Every Sunday, he enters the same casino, wins some money, and goes home. While Philip himself is pretty nonchalant about his lucky streak, it earns him the attention of a lot of unsavory characters. Louise (Rebecca De Mornay, who also executive produced the film), a tacky nightclub singer, and her impotent hitman boyfriend, Jack (Billy Bob Thornton), plan to get Philip to fall in love with Louise and offer her a fortune to pay off her debt to the sinister, seemingly omnipotent Kingman (Delroy Lindo), the casino owner who employs Jack. A small-time hood, Joey (Frank Whaley) and his motley crew (Richard Edson and Saverio Guerra) plan to rip Philip off, but their plans are complicated when the antic, impulsively violent Joey begins to feel a strange attraction to his would-be prey. Wolf (Michael Madsen), Philip's thuggish brother (and Louise's former lover) arrives in town, practically guaranteeing some kind of violent showdown. After shooting the film, Cox returned to Mexico to work on his next project. While he was away, the producers then re-edited The Winner without his consent, and replaced the film's soundtrack. Cox has since distanced himself from the final product. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

text: HAYDEN, Idaho - Kootenai County Sheriff's Deputies arrested a 19 year-old man Friday morning after he stole two different vehicles. Deputies say Michael MacKinnon first stole a truck from the Target parking lot in Coeur d'Alene around 3:15 Friday morning. MacKinnon crashed that vehicle at Government Way and Highway 95 and then abandoned the truck and fled on foot. A deputy responding to that crash started following footprints in the snow, which led him to a steel plant. As he was approaching the plant, one of the steel plant company trucks passed him at a high rate of speed, with significant damage and headlights turned off. Deputies say MacKinnon stole that truck and crashed through a fence to get it out of the plant's parking lot. A short chase ensued, and continued into Hayden. Deputies say MacKinnon turned into the "Juno Mobile Home Park" where he jumped from the moving truck. The truck kept going, and ultimately smashed into a home there. A Hayden city engineer was inspecting the home to see how significantly it was damaged and whether it was safe to live in. MacKinnon was taken into custody minutes after the crash. He's facing a number of felony charges. A Sheriff's Department Sergeant tells KHQ MacKinnon had just moved from San Diego to Coeur d'Alene within the last month or so.

Bans are really hit home now in California -- now the so called nanny state income the first to bands and letting them in their own Condo or apartment.

Continental Breakfast
By Rich Bravo
Photos by Chris McPherson
Cycling breeds 'eaters'. Only a small percentage of riders will know the satisfaction of scaling the top step of a podium at the end of a bike race but anyone who regularly throws a leg over the saddle for four- or five-hour sessions in the hills is likely to be a Cat 1 when they get to the all-you-can-eat buffet. It's simple physics. If you're going to burn 5,000 calories in a day, then you better have plenty of energy at hand from the previous night's meal, not to mention sufficient food in your pockets to last the duration of the ride.
Everyone has their own monumental stories of running out of food, bonking spectacularly and being left in a pit of shame, soft-pedaling to the nearest gas station to devour whatever Ring-Dings, Ho-Hos or Mountain Dew have the most calories. A moment of particular disgrace in what is a personal pantheon of food-related disasters happened in the last 24 hours of a cross-country race. It was the middle of the night and while we were still a few hundred miles from the finish, having ridden almost 3,000 miles it felt as if we were already done. We rolled by a Subway and our support crew was grabbing a midnight snack and since I had just finished my turn on the bike, I decided a meal with 'real' food would be a good idea. Most of the calories we ate had been consumed through drinks and bars, so the idea of eating something more substantial was tempting. This was a mistake. If you still have a couple hundred miles to ride do not eat a meatball sub with hot peppers. This advice makes so much sense now; it didn't at the time.
Therein lies the hurdle for those of us who will go out and spend the better part of a day in the saddle, testing how many miles and how many feet of climbing our bodies can withstand. Pre-packaged mixes, gels and bars are convenient, don't involve any preparation, fit perfectly in pockets and have the calories required for just about any ride. But after two or three hours of eating processed calories, my stomach usually shuts down and it becomes an unpleasant effort to continue eating anything at all. As a result, I'm no stranger to bonking. In fact, for most rides I do that last more than about 80 miles, I'll end up not eating enough during the final couple hours.
The Rapha Continental's 2013 excursion was a first for me, certainly with regards to how we refueled throughout the days we were riding. It also marks the only time I've done long miles while eating only 'real' food, prepared before we set out on our bikes. We were fortunate enough to have Biju Thomas and Jon Robichaud from Skratch Labs preparing many of our meals off the bike, as well as all of the food we would be eating while in the saddle. We had a seemingly endless supply of rice cakes, made in two different varieties: a sweet version with either chocolate or fruit; and a savory set, with bacon. We also had PB&J sandwiches, apples, oranges and bananas. And Mexican coke.
When you have good food on a ride, food that is nutritious and has enough calories, edibles that are healthy and taste good, you never really think about it. Aside from giving your body the materials it needs to function at a high level, you are giving yourself the peace of mind to not have to think about your food, which really is a blessing when you'd rather be focusing on the ride, the scenery and life gliding by.

TIME > 1½ to 2 hours, including time to marinate
Here's my version of the classic Indian dish reduced to the absolute basic ingredients. You should definitely experiment with adding more spices and heat if you're making this at home. Be sure to start marinating the chicken at least an hour before you plan to cook.
- 2lbs chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 cup sliced onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
Optional additions
- Minced fresh ginger
- 2–4 green chillies, cut into strips
Combine the chicken with the other ingredients (including optional additions, if desired) in a bowl. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
Heat oven to 375F/ 190C. Transfer chicken, in the marinade, to a deep, ovenproof dish and cover with foil. Bake until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 1 hour. Alternatively, to prepare on the stove top, bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat for approximately 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped cilantro (coriander) and serve as a spicy stew or with steamed rice.

Nice read, which we can all relate to. One major error though, Chicken Tikka Masala is an English dish created in the Midlands!
