Can you get AA batteries and what is the average price and are they decent? Not sure if I should bring with me or purchase there! Thx, AFG-Traveler
Is there any tax refund at kabul airport for tourist?
How much is the cost to see a movie in kabul?
Hi, I would like to visit afghanistan and stay in Kabul. However, I can't find any cheap accommodations. Can anyone help me to be able to find a cheap place to stay while i am in kabul. Thanks, I appreciate it.
I'm a Yank searching for guesthouses in Kabul, where I hope to
visit and work.
Was wondering if anyone could recommend any medium term lodging, like a guest house, as I have an offer to work at a humanitarian agency as intern in Kabul if I can make my own arrangements. I know a couple of guesthouses which run about50 USD a day, but I am looking for quite a bit cheaper, weekly or monthly arrangement, as I will be making a 3-6 month commitment. Thank you for any tips you may be able to
throw my way.
I will be based in Kabul from mid Nov 07 till May 08. This is going to be the second time in Kabul but first time to experience winter season.
I wonder if I can find any thermal jacket in the city (probably around shar-e-now or DACAAR shop) or any woman's muslim clothes for winter. Any information will be great!
I will be in AFghanistan during November - the temperature and also are Western women required to wear only long skirts or are pant suits acceptable? Are scarfs worn at all times?
An opportunity to advance my career has opened to me in Afghanistan. Are there any expats working in Afghanistan that can comment on safety and diserability of working in the major cities in Afghanistan?
What is the cheapest way and how long will it take, to get to Nepal by air?
I just don't know what the situation is in Kabul right now and how safe it would be live inside the base for several months.
I'm considering to follow my husband to Kabul, what do you guys think about me getting a job there? Do I have to get a working visa? If I don't want to work, what kind of visa do I have to get, and where to get it? I did some research about living in Kabul, but still don't have clearly idea about it. Any information will be appreciated.
What is the approximate travel from NYC to Kabul (by air!)?
I'm going to Kabul for four months, and will be arriving on or around 30 December 03. I've gotten the warnings from the US Embassy's website, and the weather from weatherunderground.com, but I'd like to know what I can expect from people who have actually been there. What's life like? Are the people generally friendly or hostile toward Americans? I'm packing everything I can think of, but are there any special things that you' d suggest I bring? (Things I might not normally think of?) If I want to bring small gifts for local people, what would you suggest? Thanks in advance for the advice! Susan
Is it true that it's too dangerous for me (a women) to go around Kabul on my own? What if I wear a burka?

Tigers win fourth straight to improve to 6-2
October 30, 2004
DANVILLE, Ky. - DePauw quarterback Ross Wiethoff threw three touchdown passes and rushed for another as DePauw won its fourth straight game by defeating host Centre 41-26. The Tigers improved to 6-2 overall and 4-1 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference with the win. The Colonels dropped to 3-6 overall and 1-4 in the conference.
The Tigers set the tone for the contest on the game's first series as they took nearly half of the first quarter to drive 65 yards and take a 7-0 lead on Matt McMahon's 4-yard run with 7:40 left in the first. McMahon totaled 50 yards on the drive as the Tigers kept the ball on the ground for 13 of their 14 plays against a strong wind.
On the second play of DePauw's next series, a fumbled handoff on second down was recovered by Centre's Jeremy Ware at the DePauw 5. The DePauw defense put together a goal line stand and forced the Colonels into a 22-yard field goal by Chris Thompson.
DePauw opened the second quarter from its own 26 and, following a 4-yard run by McMahon, Wiethoff teamed with all-American Jamarcus Shephard who beat the defense for a 70-yard score to make it 14-3 with 13:25 left in the half. They made it 21-3 later in the second when, following a short Centre punt, Wiethoff connected with Shephard again for a 56-yard touchdown.
Centre reached paydirt on a 2-yard pass from Brian Behrendt to Adam Clark with just 37 seconds left in the first half to cut the DePauw lead to 21-0. The drive was kept alive by a successful fake punt on fourth-and-five from the Centre 40 and another fourth-down conversion in the DePauw red zone.
Andrew Huff intercepted a Behrendt pass early in the second half and returned it to the Centre 18. The Tigers looked poised to score again, but Jeremiah Marks fumbled near the goal line and Cetnre recovered at its own one. The Tigers did make it 28-10 after starting a drive on their own 31. Consecutive passes from Wiethoff to tight end Chase Jonason totaled 66 yards and set up a 3-yard touchdown run by Marks.
Wiethoff's 1-yard keeper early in the fourth pushed the lead to 34-10. Another defensive stand gave the Tigers the ball on the Centre 43 and eight straight runs by Marks pushed the ball to the Centre eight. Marks fumbled at the Centre four on second down and Chad Loveless recovered for the Colonels.
Behrendt completed an 11-yard pass to Zach Brooks on first down and then found David Crowley who streaked down the left sideline for an 85-yard touchdown with 5:29 remaining. Behrendt and Rhese McKenzie teamed for the two-point conversion that cut the margin to 34-18.
The Tigers recovered an onside kick and used the clock well in driving to the seven where Wiethoff tossed a 7-yard scoring pass to Jonason to make it 41-18 with 1:42 left. Behrendt's 17-yard pass to Crowley with 38 seconds remaining and a subsequent two-point play involving the two wrapped up the scoring.
"We did everything possible to give them a chance which you can't do against an offense like theirs," Bill Lynch said referring to the Tigers' four turnovers and a punt that was blocked. "Our defense played great except for a few plays.
The Tigers outgained Centre 448-421 and held a 208-31 advantage on the ground. McMahon rushed for a career-high 97 yards on 25 carries and Marks added 87 on 18 attempts. Wiethoff completed eight of 13 passes for a career-high 240 yards along with three touchdowns and an efficiency rating of 277.38. He also rushed for 24 yards. Shephard had four catches for 156 yards, while Jonason finished with three for 73 yards.
Behrendt completed 34 of 49 yards for 369 yards and three scores, while Crowley caught 11 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns. Jeremy Britt rushed for 42 yards and caught seven passes for 28 yards.
Defensively, the Tigers held their fourth opponent under 100 rushing yards and were led by Eric Lewis finished with 10 tackles and Greg Sylvester had nine. Dustin Hertel finished with 2.5 tackles for 18 yards of losses including an 11-yard sack. Jarrod Zywien had 12 stops for the Colonels with Loveless adding six.
"I think this football team can be pretty good," Lynch said of his Tigers. "We have two more weeks to get better."
DePauw returns to action next Saturday when it hosts Rose-Hulman in the final home and SCAC game of the 2004 season.

The Oakville Beaver
Developing new and innovative ways to market homes
Leave a CommentI am constantly looking for new and innovative ways to market your home. Gaining the best exposure for your property provides a higher probability that you will get the price you are seeking.
The regular publications I have hand-selected include The Oakville Beaver, Burlington Post, Halton Today, Home News magazine (Oakville and Burlington editions), my own Lakeshore Living magazine, and more recently a new oversized glossy magazine called Prestige: Home & Lifestyle. Prestige definitely lives up to its name and puts estate homes in a class of their own. The magazine features only the top brokers in the area and distributes 45,000 copies to high-net worth households throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
It is a publication that has established a standard few other real estate publications have achieved and with a circulation that reaches only the very affluent areas of the GTA, it targets the most discerning consumers who could be your potential buyers.
I have booked two facing pages for maximum impact for my listings, providing excellent exposure for your home.
My Lakeshore Living magazine has been a major hit in the local area. With distribution along the Lakeshore from Port Credit, through Oakville and into Burlington, the magazine offers interesting features, great homes and lots of advice on how to make your home beautiful. Other articles include wine, lifestyle and fashion, making Lakeshore Living one of the best and most versatile real estate publications in the area. Look for the third issue coming this spring. If you didn't receive a copy of Lakeshore Living, simply go to my website to view the online version.
Or you can visit one of the participating advertisers and ask if they still have a copy in their showroom: Budds' BMW, Crescent Hill Gallery, InVU Drapery, Burrow's Fine Clothier, Appleby College, Concept Lighting, Cocoon Furnishings, Corbett's Source for Sports and Knar Jewellery.
This is just a glimpse of the creative strategies I am developing to showcase properties and serve my clients. Whether you turn to me to sell your property or to help you find your dream home, I'm proud that the hard work and dedication of The Dan Cooper Team have made us the number one Royal LePage team in Canada for seven of the past 11 years.
Dan Cooper is an award-winning broker with Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Brokerage – the Number 1 Royal LePage Team for Canada in 2009, 2007, 2005, 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

A pelleted ration for pet, bucks, and dry doe rabbits. (Contains MOS*)
*MOS: Is a natural product containing Mannonoligosahrides and Beta Glucans. These natural compounds help to prevent infection and spread of disease-causing bacteria by natural stimulation of the animals immune system and binding toxins. MOS has been proven effective in cattle, swine, poultry, rabbit, pet foods, and many others. Extensive research has proven MOS to be effective in diets with or without growth promoters.
Poulin Grain's Rabbit program is flexible to meet the customers' requirements. Our small animal feeds are formulated for pet, show and meat animals. We use high quality alfalfa meal as our main source of fiber in these products. Alfalfa is full of excellent nutrients, not just a source of fiber. This high level of alfalfa gives our pellets their attractive green color. We sample all incoming ingredients to ensure they meet our high standards. This sampling process is continued throughout our manufacturing operation. Carbohydrates come from a mixture of grains. We maintain the proper ratio between fiber and carbohydrates to reduce the incidence of anteritis and enterotoxemia caused by carbohydrate "overload" in the hind gut. We have included Yucca in our rabbit pellets. Studies have shown rabbits fed a diet containing Yucca have reduced respiratory disease, reduced enteritis, reduced mortality rates and a major improvement in feed efficiency. The addition of Yucca has shown a major reduction of ammonia levels in the growing area. All of this translates into a larger fryer in a shorter period of time with a higher survival rate. All Poulin Grain small animal feeds are "cut" short to reduce waste. Your animals won't bite off just the end of the pellet and drop the rest. With our short pellets they eat the whole thing. Many of our customers have seen a reduction in grain usage.

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

With Alzheimer's, hope for the best, plan for the worst
By Angela Lunde
29 comments posted
Last month, H.S. posted a comment about his father's fear of Alzheimer's, even refusal to use the word, and his concern that his parents are both ignoring a diagnosis.
If using the 'A' word creates an obstacle with your parents, then changing your language may help to open up lines of communication. If you say, "Dad can we talk about your memory loss?" you may get less resistance than saying, "The doctor said you have Alzheimer's disease."
Overall, the goal is not to agree on what to call 'it' but to be pro-active in receiving treatment and planning for the future. That being said, the following are important discussion topics to have with your parents and/or other family members. Keep in mind that you don't need to tackle them all in one conversation.
- Medications are available that can help to maintain a better quality of life. Discuss these options with your doctor.
- Review and discuss legal documents and make sure healthcare wishes and assets are managed the way you like. We should all do this from time to time anyway, so it isn't necessary to dwell upon the diagnosis as the reason for the conversation. In addition, consider meeting with an elder-law attorney.
- Know the resources in your area for help with services, support groups, online resources and other local programs for families.
- Begin to explore options for long-term care and memory care.
A common mantra we use in our support groups is "hope for the best, but plan for the worst." One of the most tragic situations I see is when families wait too long to create a plan and consequently find themselves in some sort of catastrophic situation and feeling powerless. To the best of your ability and within the limitations of your situation, H.S., please intervene.

This morning, Chris Botta of Sports Business Daily wrote a report stating that the NHL TV rights in Canada would be split between TSN (owned by Bell Media), Sportsnet (owned by Rogers Communications) and public broadcaster CBC in a package worth up to $350 million. The idea was that CBC would keep much of its rights -- including the Stanley Cup Final -- but lose the All-Star Game and some playoffs to TSN. Sportsnet would add a made-for-them package of Sunday night games.
However, TSN guru and all-around NHL insider Bob McKenzie tweeted the following this evening a little after 11 p.m. ET, which could send shockwaves through the NHL and Canadian TV.

The Miami Heat aren't just the two-time defending NBA champions, they're the undisputed world champions of videobombing. Usually the mastermind is Chris Bosh, but after tonight's victory over the Suns it was Dwyane Wade's turn. And, he upped the ante by doing cartwheels behind LeBron James.
Wade's form was... a little questionable. He fell apart on the second attempt and was far away from getting vertical. The entire routine got just a 6.5 from the Russian judge.
How long is it before an NBA player actually gets hurt from a videobomb? Until then, let's enjoy the bizarre heights this trend reaches. Hopefully next week Norris Cole will try a series of backflips across the court.

Out of all the head-scratching Mike Francesa clips I've ever heard, this may be the head-scratchiest. While the pope was pontificating about the New York Jets quarterback situation, he pondered some veteran options for Gang Green to sign with rookie Geno Smith struggling. Tony Romo isn't available. Ben Roethlisberger isn't available. But... the Jets could sign someone like... Gary Kubiak?!?

This clip comes to us from a Senators-Red Wings CBC broadcast over the weekend from our friends north of the border. After a slashing penalty on Ottawa captain Jason Spezza, CBC analyst Greg Millen is irate over the call... until he isn't... but it's plays like this that drive people crazy. At least he has his bases covered!
First Reaction: "I don't blame him, it's a crazy call! Drives the players nuts."
Second Reaction (after replay): "Well, they gotta call that. The glove came off, it was right on the hand."
Third Reaction: "Spezza was a little mad because the official didn't really see it, but he saw the evidence and that was enough for him."
Sometimes replay can be an analyst's best friend... or their own worst enemy.

As we're approaching the end of the calendar year, it's that time for all the year-end lists to start popping up across the internet. The folks at GQ have joined the party with the 25 Least Influential People of 2013. At the top of the list is none other than former NBA star and unofficial ambassador to North Korea - Dennis Rodman.
Rodman had to beat out a competitive field including loyal Mike Francesa listener Alex Rodriguez and forgotten NFL quarterback Tim Tebow from the sports world and Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber from the pop culture world. Truly a worthy honor for someone who created a second life for himself in the public eye as a celebrity enabler of one of earth's harshest dictators:

As we head into the home strech for 2013, it's time to look at what's ahead next year for sports media as two major sports leagues enter into new television contracts. In addition, 2014 is a transition year as we mark the end of old contracts in golf, tennis, NASCAR and heading into a new era for the NBA.
In this installment, we look at Major League Baseball which just ended its latest TV contract. This era saw TBS take a major role in the postseason and cable airing all of the League Division Series and half of the League Championship Series. In the new MLB contracts, we will see new partners carrying the postseason and a complete overhaul in how we watch the regular season on national televsion. Let's take a look at what you'll see on television next year.

Yes, that's an incredibly bizarre headline, but we're talking about the New York Knicks here. Of course when you take a step back and think about it, this story makes total sense. Why wouldn't Woody Allen be declared an enemy of the state in Madison Square Garden? What with his glasses and neurotic behavior and supreme talent as a performer and all.
Knicks owner and chronic megalomaniac James Dolan reportedly banned the beloved actor from the VIP lounge at Madison Square Garden because he refused to do promotional work for Dolan's MSG Network or his personal charity.
Here's the story via the New York Post and Page Six:

Last Wednesday on NPR, correspondent Ari Shapiro was talking about this year's recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. One of those recipients was Ernie Banks, the legendary Cubs player.
When discussing Banks, Shapiro mentioned that Banks played for President Obama's favorite team - the Chicago White Sox. Angry Cubs fans flooded NPR with e-mails:
"Ernie Banks played for the Chicago White Sox??? Next NPR newsflash: Derek Jeter named captain of the Boston Red Sox."
"Isn't it bad enough that Cubs fans have had virtually nothing else to cheer about in over 100 years besides being Ernie Banks's team, and now this!"
"Tragedy struck today at around 7:30 EST ... across the nation Cubs fans' heads suddenly exploded."
Yes, this was just a simple error - but it sure was an unfortunate one. His nickname is Mr. Cub! Banks is as synonymous with the Cubs as Derek Jeter is with the Yankees, or Ted Williams was with the Red Sox, or David Wright is with the Mets. Placing him on a rival is just.... wrong.

About Me Professional
It's large, but ultimately well designed
By The guy who wants to remain anonymous
from New York
The bag is large and it will stand out. That being said, I have a Canon T2i camera, two lenses (kit & 70-200 f/4 IS), the power charger, and wires in the bag. I estimate that there is enough space for me to put a point & shoot and maybe two more small lenses (like a 50mm prime and a 24-105 zoom). After that, the bag will be full.Don't use this bag if you're planning on walking around to take touristy photos, it is simply too bulky. Instead, buy a sling or a hip holster and take your walk-around lens. Another alternative is to use this bag as a base-of-operations bag and purchase a second bag to walk around (that's what I am going to do).I take this bag with me almost everywhere, but I don't go anywhere where it would be problematic. On the other hand, I look silly walking in the park with it.The BEST part about this bag is that it is great for what it can hold. The pocket design is fantastic. Each pocket has depth, great zippers, and zippers that flow freely.I bought this bag because of its pocket design, thoroughly padded interior and sturdy build.

WATERTOWN, N.Y. -- Based at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fireball Run is billed as an epic American adventure-rally. And this year's run will be making a stop in Watertown.
Crews from the Fireball Run were back in the North Country Friday to introduce three local teams that will be taking part. The run will feature 40 teams as they go head to head in various competitions in 15 cities over eight days. The race also puts the spotlight on missing children.
Teams pass our posters and even have stickers of missing children on their cars.
The local teams will represent three such children: Aadam and Azora Hoffman of Buffalo and Qua'mere of Syracuse.
"The fact that we travel from region to region and have so much media exposure, missing children seemed to be the natural cause to support. We've had fantastic success with it," said Fireball Run Executive Vice President David Hickman.
Fireball Run says it has played a part in the recovery of 38 missing children.
The run will be coming through Watertown on Tuesday, September 25th.

The downside of dieting
By Nancy Klobassa Davidson, R.N., and Peggy Moreland, R.N.
31 comments posted
Dieting. Upon hearing the word, many of us cringe and maybe feel a little guilty. Lots of us have struggled with weight and have been on various weight-loss diets — official and fad — that either haven't worked, or worked but didn't produce sustainable weight loss.
Why don't diets work? In general when we use the word, "diet," it's in relationship to fad diets and misleading weight-loss products that promise substantial, quick results. Weight regain is common after weight loss, even on nutritionally balanced diets. There seem to be many medical- and behavioral-based reasons for weight regain, which I'm not going to cover here.
Ultimately, long-term behavioral and lifestyle changes are keys to maintaining and keeping weight off. Many of us see weight loss as a short-term goal and don't maintain the new lifestyle skills as a permanent way of life.
I think we need to give credit where credit is due when weight loss is concerned.
- Even the loss of a couple pounds is an accomplishment.
- Maintaining weight loss is an accomplishment.
- Maintaining exercise and activity is an accomplishment.
- Any positive lifestyle change is an accomplishment — for example, switching from whole milk to skim milk.
- Maintaining blood glucose control with stable weight is an accomplishment.
- Continuing to work on lifestyle changes, even with lapses, is an accomplishment.
- Healthier eating is an accomplishment.
Have a good week!

What a great article, all these weight loss programs out these days are just fad weight loss programs that reduce fast a fantastic simple eating plan made up of a fantastic balance of necessary protein carbohydrate food and requirements body fat is key to keeping glucose levels low and fantastic heart health!

Reviewing accomplishments off the scale are extremely important because the scale can mislead due to water weight, etc. When I am tempted to eat unhealthy food, I think about the inches I've lost or the blood sugar control I've achieved and that usually helps me make a different decision, which perpetuates the positive results. Positive reinforcement is SO much more effective than negative results. AND I don't feel guilty when I do allow something sweet because I plan it with protein so the effects on blood sugar are minimal and it's within my calorie goals. This approach has allowed me to eat "normal" with minimal guilt and a great feeling of accomplishment daily.

Daily low dose aspirin can lower the risk of a heart attack, but is not safe for everyone and can cause stomach irritation. Check with your doctor first before starting aspirin therapy to determine whether it's safe and how much to take.
- Nancy and Peggy
August 22, 2012 10:20 p.m.
Some probablistic info or renimmecdatoons with limited downside would be more useful than the comment above by Mayo.If I am having a first suspected heart attack with no prior medical history, should I take the aspirin?Is it likely to help?Would the answer be different if there was likely a long delay in getting medical assistance eg live half an hour from hospital and ambulance and doctor?Apart from ringing for assistance what are the steps that are highly likely to likely to help?What are commonly talked about things I should not do?

Thank you so much for your positive analysis. After almost six months of dieting or new life style adoption, I came to realize the importance of positive feedbacks that kept me going and got me closer to a healthier life style. It was a constant struggle every day and every step of the way. There were more setbacks than positive milestones, but it was worth it. I could no longer affort to be obese. Diabetes has claimed the lives of both of my parents and has struck several of my siblings. I finally decided to do something about my weight if I wanted to live a health life and healthy retirement. Last week, I reached my target weight after I lost almost 51 pounds and I am working super hard to maintain my new weight.

for the person who discovered there is more sugar in lower fat milk: Those who package these "special" foods know that they need to keep the flavor. So, they almost always add something so we can stand the taste. Fat for salt or sugar. salt for fat, sugar for salt or fat, etc. If I could milk Bessy, I would. then I would know what I was drinking. I don't do low-fat. sugar-free, sodium-free, etc. I begin with food as simple as I can get it. Then I know how much of these things is in it. I also don't do "all natural" or "organic". I feel these things just cost more money without any reason to. So called "all natural" foods tickle me. Did you ever see a box of cereal growing in a garden? Did you ever see a pill growing on a plant or swimming in the ocean? They're no more "natural" than any other food or med. They were altered! And also not controlled by the FDA. So, one thing you can be certain of is: You don't know what they are! turkey insteak of pork or beef. Yeh, if you kill the turkey yourself. But did you ever try to fry a true turkey burger? They have to add suet or it will over cook and be dry. Learn what nutrients are in what foods. Then control what you eat on that basis. If you have time, "KISS IT" (Keep It Simple, Sally!

greeat article! common sense always makes sense. However, I don't believe "diet gurus" and most doctors pay enough attention to chemical and genectic aspects. I have learned fom experience (both in dieting and not dieting), that these things are very important. I have gained weight while dieting. And I have lost considerable weight while not even thinking about dieting. I've made connections to the meds that increease or decrease my appetite. I pay attention to what I'm feeling when I want to binge.No, it isn't depression or other psycholoical problem: not for me anyway. I lost it gained it lost it again etc. I now try to be aware of what I eat and accept my body as it is. Not to say I don't still "diet". I have too. I have a predispotion for obesity! I'm 66 years old and have finally,lost and kept off 50 pounds. However,I'm still obese (almost to just overweight). But I've stopped beating myself up for not being thin. I've accepted that my body has found a comfortable weight. I still concider every aspect of weight gain and loss. And I watch what I eat accordingly. I think, I will gradually begin to lose again... Just as unexpectedly as I did when I lost 50# after one of my meds was stopped. I monitor my meds. If I start a new medication and my appetite increases, I ask my doctor to change it. Or,simply put up with the problem if it isn't lifthreatening. I also no longer have to take my oral diabetes med. I focus on doing what's right for my body. thanx

I have recently come upon some interesting and relevant stats. The CDC tells us the national childhood obesity rate has nearly tripled in the past 30 years. Over the same time, health spending in America has followed the same trend. In 1965, health spending in America, as a % of GDP, was 5%. In 2010 it was 18%. It steadily rose in the intervening years. If the rising trend in obesity is not halted and reversed, it will continue to consume an increasing % of GDP as the years go by. It is my view that the rising trend of obesity in this country will not be halted and reversed until there is a MASSIVE education campaign that teaches people, children and adults alike, about nutrition, healthy eating and the need to lead a physically active lifestyle to live a healthy life.

I began a diabetic eating program on the 27th of December. I stand 6 ft. 4 in. male, small boned. Weighed 165 at the age of 35. Turning 77 in Sept. I have, as of the 1st of Sept. lost 55 lbs on a 1200 calories pre day regime. It has not been easy as I have always eaten to taste and I enjoy all food. I also lke my wine with dinner. It has also not been easy as I have IBS which acts up constantly in either the "C" stage or the "D" stage. I want to loose 5 more lbs. and I will be at the 165 I was when I was 35. Since dropping the lbs. my Asthma is almost non-existent and I recently tossed my blood pressure med. From an old man, who now that the wrinkles have been ironed oout really looks his age: Hang in there. Take it easy. Play what ever games you need to play to stay as close to you plan as possible. Don't be swayed with phrases like: Well, it's just one meal with us so eat up and all the other comments -- particularly as you begin to wrinkle. When eating out, split a plate if you can and/or ask for a take-away sack. If all else fails, eat around the edges and leave the rest -- a great waste of food but it's your health that counts. Now, I am wondering how the challenge will be when I get to where I want to be (5 lbs of wiggle room) and keep it off. I think that is going to be a tremendous struggle for me. However, it is a JOB and has to be tackled as such. Good luck to anyone who reads this.

I am trying to take control finally in my Diabetes. I have joined a gym and have a personal trainer 2x a week. My question is I am trying to eat healthier and watch my callorie/carb/fat intake. I have made it sort of a game. I am 62 years old and have had diabetes for 20 years (slow learner) I have lost over 20 pounds and need to loose about 40 more by my doctors advise. My question is I keep running across information saying if you go below a certain number of calories your body will go into starvation mode and slow your metabolism down. How many is too low??? I eat around 900 to 1200 a day, is that too low? I don't feel bad and I am loosing from 3 to 5 pounds sometimes less per month. I am confused I eat protein and complex carbohydrates before exercising and a small supper after. Please help me if you can with some guidelines. Thanks

Carolyn, you can buy a meter over-the-counter and test your blood glucose fasting 1 to 2 times a month. A good target would be a blood glucose below 120 mg/dl or 6.6 mmol. If the blood glucose is consistently over the target contact your health care provider; medication may be required.

Seven weeks ago my doctor told me I was "borderline diabetic (type 2) and my cholesterol was above normal. I immediately went on a low carb, low fat diet and have stuck to it faithfully. I have lost 6 pounds and believe I am eating and living healthfully. I would like to be able to monitor my blood sugar myself to see what my levels are. Is it appropriate for me to do this? If so, when and how often would it be good to check it. I am not on any medication. I am determined to avoid the need for meds if possible.

I am smalled boned, some would sat tiny boned, and skinny except for my waistline. I'm losing weight except from my waistline and I don't want to lose an ounce more. Is this natural? I'm almost 70. I once weighed 88 and looked anorexic years ago and don't want to look like that again. I have a cholesterol prob', HBP meds, now sugar.

I think for me, lapses are hard. I tend to beat myself up over diet or exercise lapses. I am very good at beating myself up in my mind over a vending machine candy bar at work. Which causes more problems! So I think its good from the outset to consider lapses as natural, normal, and just get back up the next day and get right back on track. Well, this works for me, otherwise I just have more mini-lapses into sweet-tooth heaven or 'no exercise today' exultations.

After I got diagnosed in 2007 I retired and started concentrating on my health. I managed to lose 35 lbs over an extended period by trying to eat better and exercising. For 6 or 8 months now I have developed sugar cravings (I used to prefer savory things) and hardly test at all. Consequently I have regained 22 lbs and feel tired all the time. It's a new year and I am back at the gym and in the pool so I guess I will just have to chip away again. At least I did not gain all the weight back and do recognise that I better do something sooner rather than later.

It's easier to make a lifestyle change with a good attitude. Once I got past the initial pity party I found a support group. It helps to have friends who don't need an explanation. I let my glucometer be the "boss" and I don't think of it as a "diet". It's just that some foods aren't an option. I have new favorites.

Book Review: Tashlinesque: The Hollywood Comedies of Frank Tashlin
Tashlinesque: The Hollywood Comedies of Frank Tashlin, by Ethan de Seife. Illustrated.
"Director Frank Tashlin has left an indelible impression on American and global film comedy. His films are some of the funniest, most visually inventive comedies ever made, and they feature landmark performances by some of the greatest comedians in American film history, a list that not only includes Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis but Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and Bugs Bunny." (Preface, p. ix).
Francis Fredrick von Taschlein (1913-1972) was such a master of comedy in both animated shorts and live-action features that one is tempted to wish equally that he had never abandoned animation for the live-action features, and that he had started his live-action career sooner without getting sidetracked into animated cartoons. But his live-action directing included the same zany fantasy that made his animation so funny, and was so surreal that it remains unique after fifty years of live-action movies. Tashlin has been the subject of numerous studies in France since 1958, but Tashlinesque is the first American book devoted to his work.
Tashlin, born in New Jersey, got his first animation job at 16 years old, washing cels at the Fleischer studios in New York. He moved to the Van Beuren studio where he became an inker, an in-betweener, and finally an animator. In 1933 Leon Schlesinger recruited him for his animation studio at Warner Bros., and Tashlin moved to Hollywood. He had a restless career there, working briefly for Schlesinger, then as a gag writer for Hal Roach's live-action comedies from 1934 to 1936, then back to Schlesinger from 1936 to 1938. It was during this second stay at Termite Terrace that Tashlin made his first mark on animation, directing 21 animated cartoons including those that established Porky Pig's screen presence. Tashlin moved to Disney as a writer in early 1939, then in 1941 to Columbia to head the story department at Columbia's new Screen Gems animation studio. He lasted barely a year there, returning to Warner Bros. in mid-1942 to supervise 14 civilian cartoons featuring all of WB.'s animation stars, and four military Private Snafu cartoons. In 1944 Tashlin became the supervising director of United Artists' stop-motion shorts, leaving animation for good in 1946 to become a gag-writer on live-action comedy features for Paramount. In 1950 he advanced to become a notable writer-director of features, moving back and forth between Paramount, Columbia, Universal, RKO, United Artists, Twentieth-Century Fox, and MGM. His last film was in 1968, four years before his death.
The two chapters "Tish-Tash in Cartoonland" and "Tashlin, Comedy, and the 'Live-Action Cartoon'" focus upon Tashlin's animation in detail. The emphasis is on Warner Bros., 1936-1938, during which Tashlin defined his directorial style and established Porky Pig as a star with a distinct personality; Screen Gems, 1941-1942, where Columbia's lack of supervision allowed creative artistic freedom; and Warner Bros., 1942-1946, when Tashlin made his most sophisticated animation. "The Live-Action Cartoon" compares "impossible" gags in Tashlin's pre-1946 animation, and the same or similar outrageous situations in his live-action features. Above all, they establish Tashlin's comedic approach. "These [live-action] films provide ample evidence of the director's penchant for an episodic, gag-centric structure that either diminishes or is at odds with any degree of narrative unity." (p. 55).

When PowerShell hash table magic backfires
We just made it through the holidays and I finally found time to write about the most annoying thing in PowerShell: Hash table semi-automatic, which can easily result in some subtle bugs. And all of that, just because the hash tables don't behave as I would expect. I assumed hash tables to be implicitly sorted by the keys using the Sort-Object cmdlet and to always stay hash tables and not get converted into arrays of Dictionary Entries or even a single Dictionary entry when piped into a Where-Object cmdlet. To workaround these strange defects you need to apply some unnatural constructs and roll your own select statements. It just doesn't feel fair to make your children call GetEnumerator() before they try to find today's window on their Advents Calendar.

Had the pitch been successful, Japan-based Mitsubishi might have a much larger footprint in Tulsa.
But a budding relationship with the business conglomerate could still boost Tulsa's economy, according to Mayor Dewey Bartlett.
Mitsubishi, perhaps best-known in the west as an auto manufacturer, also makes planes, including the new Mitsubishi Regional Jet.
"My pitch to them was to consider building it in Tulsa. I found out that probably is not going to happen," Bartlett said.
It was one of several meetings related to Tulsa's economy which took place during a two-week-long sojourn to Japan in November, ultimately costing the city about $19,000 in reimbursements for Bartlett's travel expenses, including translator fees.
Mitsubishi, instead of building aircraft in Tulsa, will likely assemble what's known as the MRJ aircraft in Japan, Bartlett said.
But the company is "going to have some of the major components made in the United States, or they'd like to see them made in the United States. So we want to be considered for that opportunity," Bartlett added, calling that possibility a "very big" opportunity which could "certainly solidify employment for hundreds of people in Tulsa."
Tulsa-based Intercontinental Jet Service Corp. is a factory-owned Mitsubishi service center.
Lloyd Wright, the mayor's press secretary, said a Mitsubishi executive has been bullish on Tulsa.
"We worked for two solid years to try to develop this relationship, and it all happened almost by accident when we found out that Mitsubishi repairs and has parts for their MU-2 at Intercontinental Jet," Wright said, referring to a type of aircraft. "And we met the VP out of Dallas. He likes Tulsa and he moved all his parts from Dallas to Tulsa. ... He told us about the MRJ and we got kind of excited thinking about that."
The trip included visits to several Japanese cities as well as Taiwan, meeting with business leaders who "expressed a desire to meet with the mayor of a major city that has oil and gas in his background -- which I do, that's my business -- but also has aerospace and aviation in his city as well as energy," Bartlett said.
Talks about energy reflected interest in liquefied natural gas, especially in the wake of nuclear shutdowns following the 2011 tsunami disaster in Japan.
"They were very interested in my relationship with the natural gas industry," Bartlett said, adding that he touted Tulsa's aviation workforce and made sure to emphasize the local port to those unaware of it.
His wife, Victoria, accompanied him on the trip, but Bartlett said he -- not the city -- paid for her expenses. To keep the Japan relationships going, Bartlett said he invited many he met with to visit Tulsa.
Since Jan. 1, 2010, Bartlett's travels have been reimbursed by the city for expenses incurred on about 26 trips (some involved swings through multiple destinations on a given trip).
These total expenses have come to about $62,000, including visits to federal lawmakers and leaders as well as a week-long trade mission to Europe last October.
"There isn't any activity -- if a good personal relationship exists, all things being equal -- normally we prefer to do business with somebody we know and trust," Bartlett said.

Are You at High Risk for Serious Illness from Flu?
If you are at high risk, flu vaccination is especially important to decrease your chances of severe flu-related illness. Get your flu vaccine today.
The Flu Can Be Serious
Influenza, commonly called the "flu," is a contagious viral infection that affects the respiratory system — your nose, throat and lungs. Symptoms of the flu can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may also have vomiting and diarrhea.
The flu can be a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. CDC estimates that from the 1976-1977 flu season to the 2006-2007 season, flu-associated deaths ranged from a low of about 3,000 people to a high of about 49,000 people.
It's Not Too Late to Vaccinate!
The latest report and map show early signs of increased flu activity in the United States. Since it takes about two weeks for the body to develop an immune response, now is the ideal time to get a vaccine and be protected before flu activity begins or increases in your community.
While doctor's offices and health departments continue to provide vaccinations, vaccine is also available at many pharmacies, work places, supermarkets and other retail and clinic locations in your area. The Flu Vaccine Locator is a useful tool for finding vaccine in your area.
Who Is More Likely to Get Seriously Ill from Flu?
While the flu can make anyone sick, some people are at greater risk for serious flu-related complications like pneumonia. These groups include:
- Children younger than 5 years, but especially children younger than 2 years old
- Adults 65 years of age and older
- Pregnant women
And people who have certain medical conditions, including:
- Asthma
- Neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, including disorders of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and muscle, such as cerebral palsy; epilepsy (seizure disorders); stroke; intellectual disability (mental retardation); moderate to severe developmental delay; muscular dystrophy; or spinal cord injury
- Chronic lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or cystic fibrosis
- Heart disease, such as congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, or coronary artery disease
- Blood disorders, such as sickle cell disease
- Endocrine disorders, such as diabetes mellitus
- Kidney disorders
- Liver disorders
- Metabolic disorders, such as inherited metabolic disorders and mitochondrial disorders
- Weakened immune system due to disease or medication (such as people with HIV or AIDS; or people with cancer who are receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment; or those on long-term corticosteroid medications)
- People younger than 19 years of age who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy
- People who are morbidly obese (Body Mass Index, or BMI, of 40 or greater)
Your best defense against influenza—and its possible complications—is to receive an annual vaccination. CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get an annual flu vaccination. The flu vaccine is safe and can't cause the flu. The flu shot—not the nasal spray—is recommended for people with chronic medical conditions.
Flu-Related Complications Can Be Severe
Millions of Americans are impacted by long-term health conditions, but many people aren't aware that they have one of these conditions. For example, diabetes affects about 25.8 million Americans, but it is estimated that 1 in 4 people with the disease don't know they have it. It's important to ask your doctor whether you have a health condition that makes you more vulnerable to complications from the flu.
Consider these statistics:
- According to a three-year study conducted from 2005 through 2008, more than a third of adults hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed influenza had cardiac disease.
- 9 out of 10 flu-related deaths in the United States occur in people 65 and older.
- In pregnant women, changes in the immune system, heart and lungs make them more likely to develop a serious illness if they get the flu. A pregnant woman with the flu also has an increased chance for miscarriage or preterm birth.
If you are currently living with a chronic health condition like heart disease, diabetes or asthma, certain behaviors are probably part of your daily routine, like watching your diet or blood sugar levels, taking your prescribed medications or keeping your inhaler on hand. Make getting an annual flu vaccine another part of your health management routine—it's your best defense against the flu and related complications.
Since the flu is contagious, it's also important that all of your close contacts are vaccinated. In addition, people with medical conditions like asthma, diabetes and heart disease also should get the pneumococcal vaccine. Ask your doctor about these vaccines.
Sick with Flu? Early Antiviral Treatment Is Important
If you have a condition that increases your chance of developing serious complications and you get the flu, early treatment with flu antiviral medication is important. Antiviral drugs are prescription medications that can be used to treat the flu. Quick treatment with antiviral drugs in someone with a high-risk condition can mean the difference between being sick at home and possibly ending up in the hospital. Studies show that these drugs work best when they are started within 2 days of getting sick. However, starting them later can still be helpful, especially if the sick person has a high-risk health condition or is very sick from the flu.
Antiviral medications are not a substitute for vaccination. Annual flu vaccination is the first and best way to prevent the flu, but if you do get sick with the flu, antiviral medications are a second line of defense. CDC recommends using flu antiviral drugs for treatment regardless of a person's vaccination status, because it's possible that some people who were vaccinated could still get the flu. If you have a high-risk medical condition and develop flu-like symptoms, check with your doctor quickly.

- Product Details
Subaru WRX 2009, Pro Lowering Kit by Eibach®. This is the Pro System kit replacement performance-oriented coil springs, shock absorbers, and bump stops. Plus kits add front and rear sway bars, and some include end links depending on vehicle application. Progressive springs feature a lower-than-stock ride height that maintains ride comfort during normal driving while reducing body roll, dive, and squat to create a more enjoyable level of aggressive driving. Available in multiple sizes and levels of ride drop.
- Designed for the enthusiast who prefers a civilized boost of their vehicles street handling abilities with the looks of a lower ride height
- Includes a set of sport springs, bump stops, shock absorbers
- Plus kits add a set of solid anti-roll bars and link rods to enhance the capabilities of the springs and shocks
- Available in a range of height-dropping dimensions
- These Pro series signify a moderate level of drop vs. Sport series kits that feature a more extreme level of drop
- Springs are progressive to maintain ride comfort during normal driving
- Front and rear sway bars are solid and non-adjustable
- Wheel alignment required after installation
- Reduces body roll for more stable handling and faster cornering speeds
- Reduces rear end squat during acceleration to boost drive wheel grip for faster launches
- Reduces nose dive during braking to create shorter stopping distances
- Manufacturer warrants the springs and sway bars for 1 million miles, shock absorbers for 2 years
- Proudly manufactured in the United States
Your performance car built in the United States, Germany, or Asia was designed to provide good handling with a comfortable ride. Manufacturers fit softer springs as a compromise to please the majority of their customers who commute every day over potholes, not the driver that wants to wring the maximum from their vehicles built-in responsiveness. For those that do want crisper, sharper handling Eibach offers the Pro System Lowering Kits. Ride height is dropped and handling is boosted from good to great without the punishing ride that comes from kits offered by competitors. Your vehicle was built with a sophisticated suspension, so dont compromise it with a kit that causes your car to ride rough. Riding rough is for amateurs.
Pro System lowering kits start with replacement springs that are lower in overall height than your vehicles factory-issued ones. Dropping the ride height alone lowers your vehicles center of gravity reducing body roll and any tendencies to lean over. Then, the progressive rate of these Eibach springs goes to work. Unlike original equipment and some low-height springs on the market, these feature a spring rate that varies as needs demand. The top of the coil is softer for more give under everyday operation when things are not pushed hard. But as the vehicle starts to lean when more demanding conditions arise, a stiffer and stiffer rate kicks in as the springs compress. The result is less body roll for more stable handling, faster cornering speeds, reduced rear end squat during acceleration, better drive wheel grip for faster launches, and reduced nose dive that can shorten your stopping distance. All with an uncompromised, premium ride. Enhancing the springs abilities are rubber bump stops, shock absorbers, sway bar link rods, and solid anti-roll bars (front and rear) that come with the kit.

| Posted by Duane H. | (Phoenix, AZ)It so happens that I had sold my car before installing the lowering Pro-Kit, that's why the installation was not scored. With that said I can review the product as delivered. Eibach Coil springs are well packaged because the paint on these springs are nicer than some cars I have seen, seriously nice charcoal metallic paint. Almost too pretty to use. I will always use Eibach products now just for that factor. Ok, can't submit without scoring installation, gave 5 stars cause it's usually easy to install coil springs with the right tools.

| Posted by Leigh K. | (Somerville, NJ)I recently purchased new wheels and tires for my vehicle, but the wheel gap between the fender and the tire was hideous. I didn't want to get too crazy with the suspension so I figured I would go with a simple lowering spring application. The price was great and the ease of installation was amazing. The ride quality of the product is perfect and it really gave my car the drop it needed.

| Posted by Lee L. | (Virginia Beach, VA)Great product. Just enough drop to get rid of the wheel gap with my factory 18's. Definite decrease in roll around the hard corners. Doesn't squat near as much under hard acceleration or braking. Ride quality is about the same, a little rougher around the bumps.

SYRACUSE С It's not just students who get the jitters when it's time for school to start.
Sometimes teachers feel a little bit anxious about it all too.
"Excited and nervous," was how Shauna Ludlow described her feelings about starting her first year as a teacher.
"I'm an entire ball of emotions," she said. After graduating from WSU, Ludlow will begin her teaching career with a sixth grade class at Adelaide Elementary in Bountiful.
To help prepare for that first day in the classroom, approximately 230 teachers and counselors new to teaching or new to Davis School District met at Syracuse High Tuesday. They were introduced to district policy and goals, and given ideas to help in their classrooms.
Ludlow learned about her classroom assignment last May and has had time to meet students and prepare curriculum.
At the orientation, one first-time teacher said she was just offered a job last week. Another worried aloud about fitting the required curriculum into the calendar and another, about helping kindergarteners transition away from their parents.
Cheryl Wilson's classroom management session was standing room only, as teachers looked to her for advice on setting rules and expectations.
"The better the first weeks go, the better classroom management you'll have all year long," saidBrittny Harris, who will start her first year teaching foods and child development at Bountiful High.
"I'm so excited to be teaching," said the USU graduate. She said she finds it rewarding "just being around the students and watching them learn and grow and have fun, and seeing their excitement about the subjects I'm passionate about."
