ONE of London's youngest guide dog owners has spoken about how the animal has "changed her life".
Louise Skinner, 18, is studying for her A-levels at Newstead Wood in Avebury Road, Orpington, and was partnered with two-year-old Teddy last summer.
Teddy, who is a golden retriever labrador cross, has helped Louise regain her independence in the capital as well as helping her attend school.
The schoolgirl, who is studying Philosophy, Politics and Maths, said: "Before I had Teddy, getting around on my own was a huge challenge but since he's been with me he's changed my life.
"With him around I'm never lonely, and life's very busy now because I feel like I can go anywhere and everywhere.
"I can confidently get around London and avoid those everyday obstacles such as roadworks, recycling bins and busy footpaths.
"My sight is affected by bright lights so the brighter it gets the less I can see and during the summer I can completely lose my vision."
The dog has also proved a hit with her classmates.
She added: "My friends love having Teddy around at school, and he's now got into a great routine around my timetable.
"I want to thank the Guide Dogs London Team for their support and would encourage any visually impaired youngster to find out more about how a guide dog can change your life."
The youngest guide dog owner in London is 15 and the eldest is 95. Around twenty owners live in Bromley.
Guide Dogs London engagement manager Rob Harris said: "When it comes to applying for a guide dog, within reason, age really doesn't matter.
"Louise is a great example of one of our guide dog owners who has been matched perfectly with Teddy.
"They have settled very well together and we know how special their partnership is. It's fantastic that thanks to Teddy, Louise's visual impairment is no barrier to her mobility."

text: I am new to this forum. I'd like to know if there is a bus from TTC to Typhoon Lagoon and to Blizzard Beach. My wife and I have searched around and found a thread (thread 2687097) and it mentioned that there is a bus that takes you to Animal Kingdom and but will not stop at Blizzard Beach. And there is no bus that takes you to Typhoon Lagoon. Is this information outdated? In other words, I wonder if Disney updated their transportation system that takes you to those two water parks? Thanks in advance.

Open Wound after Lift and Implants
Your wounds will most likely heal with this approach. We all see this once in a while. Keep the wounds clean and I would suggest changing the dressing at least 2-3 times a day rather than just once. Make sure you follow up with your surgeon.

Dear Z in FW,
thank you for your question. The plan is good and continue with your follow up with your MD. You may want to add some paper tape to re-inforcesupport the incision/wound- ask your doctor about this. The other consideration is that sometimes there are dissolving sutures under the skin that can cause irritation and thus need to be removed- ask your MD about this as well.
With Warm Regards,

There has been a wound separation. These things do happen to all of us, fortunately, not very often. The proper treatment is to take care of the wound until it is healed. It sounds like you are getting the proper treatment. There are many forms of treatment for these types of problems. Almost all of the work. The important thing is that you have confidence in your surgeon and don't panic. I am sure he/she is doing the right thing.

The New York Giants have hit a snag with 16 days left until the draft: safety Will Hill has failed yet another drug test. In 2012, he failed a drug test for use of Adderall and in 2013 for marijuana usage. He was also arrested in 2013 for unpaid child support. The cause of his failure this time around is uncertain but it has come at convenient time for the team. With the draft around the corner and his possible 6-game to yearlong suspension, Hill should just be replaced.
Because of the previous drug test failures, Hill missed multiple games the past two seasons and enough is enough. Hill clearly does not care that he is consistently handicapping his team because of his actions. Hill's behavior cannot be dismissed because this is a pattern we do not wish to see with the other players. Jerry Reese has previously warned his team that they would be cut first sign of something wrong and I don't think he was bluffing. One delinquent on a team is enough but multiple would be damaging. They allowed him on the team with his questionable past and now it's coming back to bite them. Swift action for removal would set a precedent for the rest of the team.
Hill is planning on appealing the suspension but I don't think they'll keep him around. There is no denying his skills as a football player but this is an example of his character. Yes, Hill is a vital player to the game but with Quintin Demps now on the roster Hill's position is an easy fill.
In addition to Demps, the Giants have Stevie Brown, Antrel Rolle, and Cooper Taylor. Hill will be missed but the defense will surely recover. These four men are no Hill, but they are more then qualified to play this position and do it well. The defense still has the depth it needs to make something happen this upcoming season. If the Giants still aren't comfortable with where they stand the draft is right around the corner and the proper adjustments can be made.
If Hill is released it'll be no skin off the Giants' back. He will be owed $570,000 and that would be that. He has no attachment to the team and Hill will be no more. I would like to see him get picked up by another team because he is just too young and too good to never play again, but just not for the Giants. He is too much of a burden to deal with. The Giants team is run like a well-oiled machine and they aren't going to keep someone around who's bringing the team down no matter how they feel about him as a player.
With the draft 16 days away its crunch time for the Giants to decide what they want. They can keep the safeties as is and focus their time and money on other places. Members of the team spoke for the first time Tuesday and are just as excited as we are about the new moves the team has made.
"I love what they've done," said safety Antrel Rolle, one of the Giants' captains. "I think they've made some great moves, some explosive moves, guys that can come in and contribute right away and help this team win."
It wont be long now to see what else the Giants have up their sleeves!

In January, the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) began offering free admission and membership. Visitors can enroll as a DMA Friend, the museum's new "platform for engaged participation." In a paper presented at the Museum and the Web conference in April, DMA Deputy Director Robert Stein and Bruce Wyman of USD Design/Mach Consulting said:
"One of the underlying goals of the program is to create long-term relationships with visitors while offering them value and benefits tailored to their experience and engagement with the museum. This long-term connection and repeat participation is seen as key to establishing the hoped for relevance of the museum in the lives of visitors."
Instead of a transactional business (and membership) model based on the exchange of money for services, DMA built a new model based on relationships. Since any membership priced less than $100 was a net loss for the museum, they're now focusing on member participation, believing revenue will come from members' deeper engagement with the museum.
Like associations, museums have long had a traditional and predictable membership structure. But in the past few years, museums like the Whitney and the DMA, have tried new approaches to maintain, grow and, hopefully, deepen connections with their audience. DMA still offers higher-priced membership levels, but the Friends program is a way for them to connect with entry-level members. Could your association offer something similar to those who aren't currently interested in paying for traditional association membership benefits?
Points, perks and badges
By scanning their membership card at checkpoints throughout the museum or texting an activity code upon entering a gallery, DMA Friends earn points and digital badges for activities such as asking staff a question, visiting a specific gallery, taking a tour or attending an event.
Points can be redeemed for perks like free parking, admission to ticketed exhibitions, shopping and dining discounts and behind-the-scenes tours. They can even be used like cash to pay for higher levels of membership. Most of these perks cost nothing extra for the museum to provide.
In April, DMA director Maxwell Anderson said they were signing up an average of 84 new members a day — more than 90 percent of whom were new contacts in their database. Based on activities and point redemption history, DMA can now send these members targeted communications about exhibits and events that may appeal to them.
Data delivers insight and member delight
To measure audience or member engagement, museums, like associations, have traditionally relied on qualitative surveys requiring considerable staff or financial resources. In addition, "such qualitative analysis is frequently designed with specific questions in mind, making the discovery of new patterns of participation slow and cumbersome."
The new Friends program allows DMA to collect not only demographic data on its visitors/members but also data about their interests and habits – where they're swiping their card, how frequently and which perks they redeem. Because of this actionable, and often real-time, data, the museum can create opportunities to interact with members. For example, if they notice that a large number of Friends have swiped their card in a specific gallery, staff will send a text to them offering a guided tour.
Make the human connection
Stein and Wyman believe:
"…the heart of any successful engagement is the individual human connection that can happen in the museum. In large museums, this individual attention can be difficult; therefore, this project sets its focus on building an institutional infrastructure that can support many kinds of participation without getting in the way of a great museum experience."
Associations have the same challenge. A "one-size-fits-all" approach works administratively but does it work for members? How can you offer a more meaningful, valuable and personal membership experience given limited resources?
Like DMA, associations can leverage technology to collect and act upon member, attendee and website visitor data. By seeing what data reveals about behaviors and preferences, you can offer your members and audiences the level of programs, services and products that aligns with their needs, interests and habits while deepening their engagement with the association.
A free membership level, like DMA's Friends, is a way to connect with non-members who aren't willing or able to purchase a traditional membership. In exchange for basic benefits, you can learn more about them while becoming part of their life. Who knows where the relationship might lead!

Great theme, nice and clean.
Just wanted to let you know about one little glitch I noticed on the main page. On the carousel under the words "Designer Brands" the left/right scroll arrows are acting funky and it won't let you scroll (in Firefox). If its a 'flexslider' carousel the problem is with the slider itself, I've seen this problem in their last couple of updates.
yes I've seen Thank you so much. I fix problem today Best Regards
same problem dutchess mentioned in Safari 5.05

Or : This is just a design html. http://simplecartjs.org/
Best Regards
So are you saying is would be very easy to add simplecart JS to your site?
Have you worked with Simplecart JS before? it looks very easy to use?
I have not tried but js will not be a problem for systems.
For example : http://themeforest.net/item/tendershop-minimal-wordpress-ecommerce-theme/4465396http://themeforest.net/item/tendershop-minimal-opencart-theme/3993659

Thx for a great theme, can you please tell me the easiest way to make a 3rd level navigation? Before i start working on it myself, it would be great if you had a quick fix

Anyway to add featured thumbnail images to the blog feed like most blogs? I noticed your blog feed just shows title and excerpt of each blog in the list.
I'm sorry not understand you.
Beautiful theme! How did you remove that viewport-thing from the slider?
Thanks ,This thing is necessary :/ Yes it's possible. Please send me a message on my profile page , I can help you. http://themeforest.net/user/omrfrk
Best Regards
On the page product.html if the product has only two images the image selection in the carousel thumbs is not possible, after click on the image on the right is not possible to re-display the image on the left. How do I get this right?
Active picture does not do anything when clicked on. Because it is already on display , does not have to be any trigger.
Plugin page : http://flexslider.woothemes.com/thumbnail-controlnav.html
After editing the demo flexslider for only two images it works as expected. Maybe you have not understood the problem well, the product page if there is only 2 images, one is displayd by default, ok, if you click on the other it triggers the viewport display,so far so good, but if you click the first thumb ,the one that is not on display the event is not triggered so we get stuck in the second image.
I 'm sorry fon dolay.I'm understand now problem. Its possible the looking a demo ?
Best regards
With desktop computer… Hover cursor over the Photo image GET the overlay with description and VIEW and BUY buttons
Mobile device – there is no Hover. How does mobile device user get View and Buy to appear?
Hi ,
Some older browsers do not support CSS3. Especially safari browser.
what is the answer to the question?
What happens when the Safari user sees the item photo?
a) Do they see View Cart buttons automatically on iphone and ipad?
b) if they don't see View Cart, then they will TAP the photo and go to what Page? would a tap go to View or Cart?
You understand what I mean right? I know CSS3 is different, but I want to know what the iPhone and iPad user will experience so the cart works properly.
I'm sorry for delay ,
When an update will be possible.
Great work, but i have problem? Why you dont have pagination on product list???

Given the difficulty of making disparate musical elements cohere, it's no wonder that most bands stick to a single style. Indeed, acts that can pull off the difficult mission of genre-blending are few and far between, which only makes the New Ancient Astronauts' accomplishment that much more impressive. The various styles on Children of the Vortex, which is being launched with a CD-release party on Thursday, November 18, at the Bluebird Theater, have about as much in common as Dick Cheney and Howard Dean, yet they work together better than anyone has a right to expect.

The rock the Astronauts use as the foundation for their tunes comes in many different sizes, shapes and textures. Throughout "Marvin," for instance, bandmates Aaron Daring, Professor Derek Confessor, Kasey, Lani Milbus and Dr. Minotaur juxtapose speedy metal riffs with a long middle section in which the guitars slow down to Tony Iommi tempo, whereas "Voyager I," which immediately follows, rides to the stratosphere on synthesizers and saxophones. "Recognizer," meanwhile, moves from hard rock to art rock to who-knows-what-kinda rock in three and a half thrilling minutes.
The Astronauts discover a universe of possibilities within the Vortex. It's a trip well worth taking.

Seventeen youngsters completed a Prince's Trust Programme and marked their achievement at a celebratory presentation evening at Elim Family Centre on July 22.
Just 12 weeks ago, if you had asked these youngsters to stand up and speak to a room full of people – a lot of them strangers – they would have ran the other way, as would a lot of people.
But on this night, each member of 'Team 10' spoke out about their experiences, in front of distinguished guests including Peter Field, the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex; Counsellor Janet Coles, the Mayor of Eastbourne; and Eastbourne MP Stephen Lloyd.
Wayne Wright, deputy principal of curriculum and skills at Sussex Downs College, said at the awards, "I know how terrifying it can be to stand up in a room and address an audience, and you've all done that absolutely brilliantly.
"You should be really proud of yourselves."
Team 10's development is testament to the success of the programme and the hard work of the Prince's Trust team here locally in Eastbourne.
Team leader James Marnie led Team 10 through a variety of events, showcased in a slideshow at the awards evening.
Events included charity work: the team helping at supermarket checkouts, washing cars, sponsored walks and holding bake sales; an activity week in Essex: canoeing, rock climbing, rifle shooting, go-karting and more; career planning: writing CVs, application forms and mastering interview techniques.
The highlight for many of them was five days at Thriftwood campsite and activity centre in Essex.
This took place on their second week in, bonding the group for the remainder of the programme.
Gemma Hillman, 25, praised the programme, saying, "It give 16-25 year olds the chance to get back into the swing of things.
"It's a great confidence booster."

Gates to unveil plan to abandon 'don't ask, don't tell'Breaking News
During last week's State of the Union address, President Obama made clear he wanted a change.
"This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are," he said, to a healthy round of partisan applause.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff sat stone-faced as the president made the announcement and have been quiet on the matter since the State of the Union speech.
A senior Pentagon official told CNN the military leaders are expected to support the president, but also will tell him to what extent they think allowing gays to openly serve will hurt the morale and readiness of the force.
"All they want is a little bit of time" to come up with ideas on how to implement a change in the policy, if it's approved by Congress, the official said of the Joint Chiefs.
The policy, implemented by President Clinton in 1993, bars openly gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals from serving in the U.S. military, and prevents the military from asking them about it.
In a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll in April 2009, 48 percent of Americans favored maintaining the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy. Thiry-seven percent opposed the policy because they believed it treated homosexuals too harshly, while another 8 percent opposed it because they believed it treated homosexuals too leniently.
Gates is expected to appear Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee. As a first step, he is expected to call for no longer discharging people whose sexual orientation is revealed by others.
"'Don't ask, don't tell' to many people, including myself, seemed so reasonable," Alex Nicholson, a former Army intelligence officer discharged for being gay, told CNN's "American Morning."
"I knew I was gay going in, and I knew about 'don't ask, don't tell,' but you know, 'don't ask, don't tell' as a sound bite sounds very reasonable. It sounds like nobody will inquire as to your sexual orientation -- as long as you don't throw it in anyone's face, you won't have a problem.
"But after I got in, I realized that 'don't ask, don't tell' was much more all-inclusive and all-encompassing," said Nicholson, who now is the executive director of Servicemembers United, an advocacy group that opposes the policy. "It was more like 'don't ask, don't tell, don't happen to be found out any time, any place, in any way.' "
After about a year, Nicholson said his sexual orientation was found out within his unit. "That information spread, and then the command was forced into a corner in which they had to discharge me," he said.
Since the policy was implemented, more than 13,500 service members have been discharged, according to Rep. Jim Moran, D-Virginia. In 2009, there were 428 discharges under the policy -- the lowest rate of discharge since implementation of the policy, he said. The highest year was 2001, with 1,227 discharges, he said.
"This shows that during wartime, DADT is not being pursued aggressively because one's orientation has nothing to do with their ability to fight," Moran said in a written statement Monday.
Defense officials have said privately that the will to enforce the law is declining.
Another military official familiar with the discussion said some of the issues to be considered by the military include the cost of implementing a new policy, benefits for gay spouses, potential hate crimes, and even logistical questions such as the possible need to renovate barracks to separate straight and gay troops.
According to the official, separate housing or showers were not considered serious possibilities, but would be discussed in order to be ruled out.
Nicholson acknowledged there are legitimate concerns, but said some of the issues raised, such as showers and housing, are merely delaying tactics used to mask "reasons that people really don't want to see this happen."
Previously, Gates has said the transition from the existing law should be done gradually and "very, very carefully."
"The president has been clear about where he wants to go and what he thinks needs to be done," Gates said in April at the U.S. Army War College, when asked about changing the law. "But I think that he is approaching this in a deliberate and cautious manner, so that if we do go down that road, we do it right and we do it in a way that mitigates any downsides, problems that might be associated with it."
At least one member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- Gen. James Conway, commandant of the Marine Corps -- has expressed reservations about repealing the law.
"Our Marines are currently engaged in two fights, and our focus should not be drawn away from those priorities," Conway said in November through a spokesman.
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, a former Navy pilot, released a statement after the State of the Union address, saying "it would be a mistake" for the policy to be repealed.
"This successful policy has been in effect for over 15 years, and it is well understood and predominantly supported by our military at all levels," McCain said.
But others support the change. Gen. John Shalikashvili, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said it was time to repeal the law.
"As a nation built on the principal of equality, we should recognize and welcome change that will build a stronger, more cohesive military," Shalikashvili wrote in a letter to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, who supports repealing the policy.
Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institute said the real test will be in the barracks, with the rank-and-file members of the military.
"We can talk about this delicately or we can just be fairly direct," O'Hanlon said. "There are a lot of 18-year-old, old-fashioned, testosterone-laden men in the military who are tough guys. They're often politically old-fashioned or conservative; they are not necessarily at the vanguard, in many cases, of accepting alternative forms of lifestyle."
Nicholson predicted the matter will become a "non-issue," saying his organization knows of gays serving openly in the military now.
Asked whether he would return to the military if the policy is repealed, Nicholson said he would not hesitate and that he has wanted to return since his discharge in 2002.
"I speak five languages, including Arabic," he said. "There's nothing more that I'd love than to go back right now."

I'm a lover and a fighter. I get angry easily but I'm working on it. I get my shit done. I don't let many people in, but once they're in, they are there forever. I'm strong and independent and I've been broken, but never shattered. This life is what you make it. I can't say I'm proud of my life, but I can say I'm proud that I've learned. I've learned that I can't rely on everyone, but I can't expect everyone to hurt me. I know some things don't work out, but I know everything that has, has been for the better. I can't guarantee i'll be able to walk around with a smile, but I know where I've been and I know where I'm going. I know who I am and who my friends are. I've had some tough stuff thrown at me, but I've gotten by. I'm not one to complain so I'll keep trying and in the end, I'll know I did my best. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. I found mine :) The missing piece I've been searching for. And I wouldn't choose anyone else. I fought so hard for him and it was all worth it in the end :) Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.
The names Missy. I have an almost 4 year old son named Elijah and he's freaking amazing :) The love of my life!!! He's my freakin mini me, my sexy man peach boy, my nigga lol he's got a new guardian yes but he will always be my baby and hers anyone who's got shit to say about that or me and Dillon can say it to my fukkin face. I only fuck with real niggas. A small fam that I have that I know have my mother fukkin back ♥ BLARG!!!!!! I constantly change my hair color so telling you that is pointless...lol I am a very sarcastic person who likes to give people a hard time for the fun of it :p I'm random and weird lol I definitely have my own style fo sho :) Love stickin out like a sore thumb!!!! I love all kinds of music :) I'm 5'3'' and a half don't forget the half lol I'm a whitey on the outiside but I'm super black and thuggish on the inside ;) I'd love to be a model and also record my own music on the side of my responsibilities of course :) I love to sing and write. I wanna go back to school eventually too, for sound engineering and/or computer programming :) I blow the candles May the 9th :) I want to travel the world and idk where I eventually wanna live. Wherever my man goes ♥ I'm mature when it counts. Normally I'm a complete FREAK hahaha and I'm scared of the dark. I have a handful of great friends who are my family!!! I hope we'll always be close and stay in touch because they get me through some crazy stuff sometimes that I don't always know if I can handle alone. But I don't have to :) It's a nice change fo sho....they support me in EVERYTHING I do, and I support them as well :) They're my niggas!!!! I got you guys when I'm famous ya'll is famous ♥
xxooOoXx ;)

Hello all .. car is 90 Days old today..4113 miles..
did a 1100 mile travel trip last week with the wife and she commented how comfortable the car was to travel in... Thats with KW Var 3 Coilovers. Plates and a performance alignment. 32.4 mpg avg. Car has had one oil change.. then threw a P0019 Code 30 mins later.. Dealership had the car ..swapped out the AVCS Sensors from one side to the other and the code hasn't come back yet.. Car is just awesome to drive.. It has a number of Trophies already, including 2 FTDs and 3 Index wins. its been 1st, 2nd on numerous Autocrosses that its been involved in with some great co-drivers.. 10 events in the last 3 monthes..and its just now coming into it own..and I am starting to trust the car...more and more.. .. Next year will be a full assault on ST on a National level. The car is an absolute delight to drive. Its been on the Alignment rack 4 times. Still running Hankook RS3's with no issues with rubbing or grip.. I have done a intake mod.. and replaced the filter with a K&N panel...with the noise generator delete.. Car weighs about 2634 right now.. The only other issue I am having is that my Power outlett in the console died... checked the fuses and they appear to be good still ...BTW..if you havn't checked your fuses..they are the Micro Fuse..for the panel under the dash.. I still have plans to get the car down to about 2500 lbs.. still need to do a header/exhaust that conforms to ST legal rules.. Still need a tune...but not sold on ECUTEC yet.. I fully expect to see different options as time goes on. ..I don't expect to change the Diff out anytime soon either as the stock torsion is doing fine for my needs ... not experiencing any inside wheel lift and the car remains planted as hard as I am driving it.. Expecting some other goodies from Kartboy in the future... Car tops out at 59.6 MPH in 2nd.. so the 'soft' Rev limit is kinda annoying.. when I do get a tune I will raise the Redline about 500 rpms and probably go to a 255 tire for the extra gearing it provides. Car still gets alot of looks...thumbs up...and conversation where ever I drive it to... ...OVERALL ..Very Satisfied with my purchase..... Special thanks to Kartboy, Wheeldude, Strano Performance for all their help...I have no doubt this thing will be a TOP Contender for 2013..

Irish lose 2-1. Weird ending where with bases loaded

..that ball was hit very well and Hudgins was lucky to get a glove on it as it sailed over his head.
Adam Norton pitched one hell of a game. ND had tons of men in scoring position but could not get a few timely hits.
Jagielo was thrown out at the plate, ND had two guys strike out on wicked sliders from Louisville's closer with Mancini on third, etc...
It was a good, close game between two good teams but damn, ND had their shots to win it.
Thanks for first hand review! Tough loss for players & fans. *

Misleading and clumsy adjectives undermine the work of the global musical community – we should make them extinct
Gramophone's new Victorian working environment – physical, that is, rather than operational – has brought some nifty new 21st-century accoutrement with it: smart new iMac computers, elegant desk lamps, and as of yesterday, a brand-spanking-new copy of the 12th edition of The Chambers Dictionary (our old one got lost when we moved from our erstwhile owners).
The lexicographers responsible for the Chambers tome – 'the unrivalled dictionary for word lovers' according to the dust jacket – haven't quite caught-up with their chums in Oxford and listed the word 'selfie'. Perhaps they're on the case for the 13th edition. Still, when the very concept of a printed dictionary seems a little old-hat, it's impressive how ready the guardians of these publications are to take note of linguistic trends by including new words and phrases and ditching derelict ones.
The arts world could learn a thing or two from that, and start by having a good look at those phrases it bandies around without any thought to actual meaning. The adjectival use of 'classically-trained' seems exclusively reserved for when it's definitively irrelevant: when the artist in question is doing something other than playing or writing classical music. It's become a cheap way to tout an artist as 'more talented than you think' because they pitched-up at a conservatoire for a stretch of time. Quite how that detail of personal biography ring-fences an individual's capacity for artistic expression is questionable. But the real rub is that the phrase demeans just about every other musical genre by elevating classical music above it. Even if you're misguided enough to believe that one genre is superior to all others, it's crass to say so in the current climate. We have a word to support that sentiment and you'll find it under 'D' in Chambers (it ends with 'iplomacy').
The misleading and debasingly ubiquitous use of adjectives like 'young', 'exciting' and 'dynamic' probably has more to do with a chronic lack of imagination (and a good thesaurus) than deceit. But when it comes to the dubious description 'world-class', the intention and the result are rather more dangerous.
The phrase 'world-class' has become a convenient way of separating the perceived wheat from the presumed chaff of artistic endeavor, with the wholly undermining caveat that anybody with the ability to spell can award the accolade to anybody else. 'World-class' might be just about workable for global sports rankings when you can draw a definitive line above which certain teams or individuals are capable of certain feats and below which they generally aren't. But artistic engagement – when you can be inspired and devastated by a corporate or individual ability to express something intangible – doesn't work like that however much technical ability comes into play. In an artistic context you could say the phrase 'world-class' has been meaningless all along. But in 2014 – now that the internet has matured and anyone can express themselves through creativity to anyone else – the phrase has surely become culturally defunct.
The subtext behind its use, of course, is that an upper echelon of musicians and ensembles are 'world-class' because they've been invited for whatever reason onto the international touring circuit (only certain concert halls count, obviously). When you've sat through a perfectly-played but interminably boring concert from a 'world-class' orchestra at a landmark concert hall and a few days later experienced a scintillating, fresh, involving and accomplished musical offering from a not-so-famous ensemble at a smaller venue around the corner – as I have more than once recently – you can be left wondering if these hierarchies are pedaled by canny use of words rather than an honest reflection on an ensemble's ability to affect people mentally and physiologically.
One of the great joys of the live music scene in 2014 is that you're more likely to stumble upon a superb and involving performance from one of thousands of hard-working local ensembles in Europe, America, Australasia or elsewhere than ever before because generally musicians across the board are far better at what they do than they were 50 years ago. In the UK alone right now nearly all our symphony orchestras are playing within a high and relatively narrow slither of the technical quality-ometer. Most have got used to playing with a bit of oomph, emotion and gregariousness too.
The situation isn't that different in the rest of the world. But if that's not a reason to ditch the 'world-class' bracket, then perhaps we should fall back on good old linguistic common sense. I'm no lexicographer, but I simply don't get how the phrase makes sense when we live in a globalised world of communications and entertainment – a world in which you can have an urge to hear the Auckland Philharmonia or the Lapland Chamber Orchestra and action that urge within seconds. Surely the definition of 'world-class' is tempered by anything and everything that exists in this world, so unless the orchestral scene on Mars is gathering significant pace in 2014 and we can create proper differentiation, we should cast the clumsy phrase into oblivion once and for all. Who knows, it might just serve to remind us that hundreds of ensembles and individuals throughout the world deliver inspiring musical miracles on a daily basis, whether or not they've played at the Barbican or the Lincoln Center.

I was planning on smoking a couple racks of baby back ribs tomorrow for my first smoke.
However the store only had St Louis pork ribs left in the cooler so I got them instead.
My question is should I use the 3-2-1 method or the 2-2-1 method?
How long should I let the run on?
And lastly would you suggest any liquid in the pan?
Thanks for any input

The RK-9100 illuminated mechanical gaming keyboard is supplied in a standard, effective cardboard box. The artwork on the box is minimal, based on the red/black color theme of the company and a picture of the keyboard itself.
We found the keyboard wrapped in a plastic bag and tightly secured inside the box. Unfortunately, the only protection to the sides and bottom of the keyboard is the cardboard wall of the box itself, with no soft padding or polyethylene foam to absorb bumps. The keyboard is very durable though and we do not think that this will be any kind of a problem. As for the bundle, there simply isn't any, except from a very basic leaflet which does not really pass as a user's manual.

No more cursive?
Cookie999 Albuquerque, NMSept. 10, 2013 10:35 a.m.
I think those who are seriously advocating eliminating cursive writing must as a whole be poor or mediocre cursive writers themselves. Cursive is akin to the highest level of writing; it is an art which develops artistic talent as well. Penmanship awards used to be given on a more regular basis; I know, because my grandmother received them. It is an excellent foundation to prepare to learn calligraphy, which is also an art form I enjoy on occasion. I think several comments here are ironic and not 100% serious; most of us grew up with cursive writing and will continue to use it.
redshirt007 tranquility base, 00Sept. 10, 2013 9:42 a.m.
People really show their personality types here on one simple subject. Change is hard for some, looked forward to by others.
The fact is that most parents can't help their kids with algebra yet would have an opinion that an outdated and hardly used manual writing system should be practiced just in case the electricity goes out forever AND we want our writing to look fancy.
I'd rather deal with a generational gap in cursive than continue letting our kids fall behind in pertinent skills to the future and present.
Gildas LOGAN, UTSept. 8, 2013 10:56 a.m.
I appreciated the point about researching old documents; I hadn't thought of that at the time.
Spelling is another skill, often thought to be pointless, but that hass interest because it often tells you how things were originally pronounced. It is therefore helpful in demonstrating the origin of languages and hence in linguistic and cultural studies. For example, the "gh" in various words such as light, bright and night, indicates an original germanic etymology, and a pronunciation that was current in Old English, but that disappeared over time.
1covey Salt Lake City, UTSept. 7, 2013 11:23 a.m.
Just think, if you can, in a few years when voice-recognition software is more highly developed, you can eliminate spelling from the curriculum. One wonders if this approach to learning may have subtle, unfavorable side-effects on the development of children. Perhaps more than knowledge or intellect is at risk. When we put most of our effort in technology, we invest a lot into something that will soon become obsolete.
Nan BW ELder, COSept. 7, 2013 7:18 a.m.
I believe that learning cursive has an important place in brain development that keyboarding does not provide. I've seen too many students improve overall in school after they mastered cursive to think it is outmoded or obsolete. I'm also concerned that what it replacing it is not learning other skills, but being fed a lot of politically correct trash.
Kings Court Alpine, UTSept. 6, 2013 11:25 p.m.
I heard that the ancient Mesopotamians had the same dilemma. After the invention of cuneiform, they slowly quit making cave paintings. The ultra-conservative political factions pushed for legislation to keep an outdated mode of communication taught in their schools, wasting valuable time and resources in order to keep living in the past therefore slowing down technological progress.
Star Bright Salt Lake City, UtSept. 6, 2013 9:39 p.m.
Thank you Truth for telling the TRUTH! . That was my thought exactly. There will be no going back and doing research on our original documents - it well be a foreign language to our younger generation.
one old man Ogden, UTSept. 6, 2013 7:16 p.m.
Hammer - I challenge you to sit down and compare Utah's current CORE standards with the new Common Core. Not much difference is there?
Mr. J -- Yup -- and a couple of teenagers talking on their cell phones and texting.
Truth - when you learn to tell it?
Badgerbadger Murray, UTSept. 6, 2013 6:47 p.m.
Let cursive go. Kids revert back to print when given the choice. Teach them how to sign their name, that is all.
Better to drop cursive to fit in all the high tech stuff kids need to learn these days, than to give up math.
the truth Holladay, UTSept. 6, 2013 6:45 p.m.
Why is cursive important?
Our history is written in cursive, from founding documents, like the constitution and declaration of independence, to letters and journals.
We will have new generations unable read and study our history, and not only our history, but the whole world.
How can that possibly be a good thing, unless you want to control what people know and believe?
The left seems all for changing, rewriting. and forgetting large chunks of our history, and replacing it with their own indoctrination,
but common core is an old product of the left, just renamed and repackaged.
Hutterite American Fork, UTSept. 6, 2013 6:05 p.m.

Cursive. Foiled again?
Arm of Orion Cottonwood Heights, UTSept. 6, 2013 2:43 p.m.
Wow, a lot of people on here defaming the idea that cursive is in essence useless, which it is. Tell me, in the past year how have you done most of your writing? Has it been written by hand or on a computer, and yes include your d-news posts in that count. Seriously I learned how to write in cursive and the only thing I use it for is my signature on official documents. Yet here I am, writing on a computer with acceptable grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Seriously, just because cursive is going the way of the dodo doesn't mean that things like grammar, spelling, and intelligent conversation will.
Mister J Salt Lake City, UTSept. 6, 2013 1:06 p.m.

The Real Maverick Orem, UTSept. 6, 2013 12:46 p.m.
Why should anyone be forced to learn anything?
I agree with Rep Osmond, lets just get rid of public education. We can save the money and spend it on more highways or vacations for our AG.
ConservativeCommonTater West Valley City, UTSept. 6, 2013 12:31 p.m.
get rid of cursive writing, no need for it, we have machines that write for us. Get rid of learning multiplication tables, long division, percentages, we have machines that do that. Get rid of grammar and spelling, we have texting that doesn't need it. Get rid of proper speech, everyone texts so no verbal communication is needed. Get rid of history, no one remembers it anyway. Get rid of geography, we either fly or drive to places so we don't have to know where they are.
Get rid of teachers and schools as Rep. Osmond suggested. All they do is try to teach the subjects mentioned above and as I mentioned, we have no need for that stuff.
The Hammer lehi, utahSept. 6, 2013 11:53 a.m.
Why not let local school districts and boards determine if the school wants to learn cursive or not. Oh wait Common core won't let the local school districts do that. Common core will be a top down directive telling kids how and what they can learn. It will deny local jurisdictions the choice of how curriculum is presented and what content is taught as the whole race to the top plan is designed to give states the waiver if they accept the top down approach approved by the department of education.
Common core is a joke and those that support it produce silly articles about how common core is so great because it gets rid of cursive!
Daniel Leifker San Francisco, CASept. 6, 2013 10:37 a.m.
Both printing and cursive writing are inefficient systems. I remember the effort I spent in 3rd grade learning to write the capital letters F and W and G in cursive. Why?
We should just drop-kick the whole dumb alphabet and use Gregg shorthand for everything. Billboards would be a lot smaller.
one old man Ogden, UTSept. 6, 2013 8:14 a.m.
Can't read a high school student's writing no matter whether it's cursive or manuscript.
Besides, pens and pencils will soon be as obsolete as the typewriter.
And so will spelling, punctuation, grammar, and most anything else that resembles comprehensible language.
Hamath Omaha, NESept. 6, 2013 7:43 a.m.
I want to leave a comment, but I can't find a way to leave it in cursive. So I'll just forget about it.
Midvaliean MIDVALE, UTSept. 6, 2013 7:27 a.m.
And parents are certainly able to teach their kids cursive if they want. No one will stop you. And lets get serious... learning cursive if you already now manuscript is NOT that hard, probably can do that on your own.

Lambert tips Benteke, Weimann to stay
Paul Lambert insists Aston Villa will hang on to Christian Benteke and Andreas Weimann into next season, amid rumours both players could be sold in the summer.
The two in-form forwards are among the club's best hopes of avoiding the drop and the manager believes they both want to be around in the Second City for the 2013-14 season.
"I think they will both be with us next season," he said, when asked about the possibility of their talents being snatched away this summer. "I have spoken to them and I don't think that (selling them) would be building for any kind of future.
"There's no point building something if a year later that occurs. That's what I don't want to happen. I don't want to go back to square one.
"Randy Lerner has been great with me and everyone knows the situation. If bids came in, I think he would say we need to keep them."
Lambert spells out, as a means of explaining why big-club interest may not yet translate into firm offers, that the duo "have done it for seven months, not seven years".
He has been delighted with their progress, although the consequences on their future of Villa being relegated might be altogether different.
Benteke has scored 17 times for Villa in his debut season in English football and attracted interest from, among others, Arsenal and Tottenham. Talks with Weimann over a contract extension, meanwhile, have not yet reached agreement.
"Andi, Christian, Gabby Agbonlahor and even Charles N'Zogbia have been performing really well," he added in the countdown to Sunday's home game against Liverpool. "We have goals in us.
"Everyone knows about Andi's enthusiasm and he has added goals to it. Christian has been excellent. His goal ratio is extremely high.
"He can also play. He has excellent touch but you can't always make him your focal point. He has played so much football, a hell of a lot. He is a top guy.
"I'm not sure he bullied Liverpool at Anfield in December. If you say that, it can take away from his other attributes. Everybody will remember his back-heel to Andi and he is a very good player. Andi Weimann is a natural finisher. Every time he gets a chance, I think he will score.
"You would like to think they have bought into the philosophy. You don't want them to become comfortable. Keep them hungry.
"Christian might have taken a year or 18 months to settle in and we wouldn't have been having this conversation. The main focus is to stay in the League and keep building it. The year's experience will certainly help them. They will be better for it."
Benteke has also netted twice for Belgium this season and three times for his previous club Genk. Villa will go into the Liverpool game back in the bottom three if Wigan beat Norwich at the DW Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Morningside Master's Media students are traveling to Wilmore, Ky for the Ichthus Christian Music Festival to recruit students for Master's Media.
The students are challenged to "give God one year of your life and see what happens." They may choose to build a website, learn administrative skills, minister on television, sing, preach, go into high schools and on ministry trips domestically and to other countries. They may run camera, edit, direct or even produce their own television programs that will be broadcast live through our networking. They could preach, sing and pray for people. The main goal is not to build a ministry, but to launch each student into their own God-given ministry and fulfill their calling!
Please pray for our students as they go out and share their experiences at Morningside Master's Media with others. We're excited to see who God will bring in the upcoming semesters. As Pastor Jim says, "They are the Now Generation, and their time is now!"

Comic performs Friday aboard Afton Laff Boat
For one night only Comedian Louie Anderson is about to make a splash at an upcoming Afton Hudson Cruises Laff Boat performance.
Anderson has done similar shows before but no matter the venue he knows it will be a great time.
"My favorite venue is one with an audience," Anderson said. "The venue for me kind of disappears when there's a crowd in it and whether I'm on a boat, train, stage, theater or comedy club it's the audience that really makes it a really good experience."
He started his now 34-year stand-up comedy career on a dare and never looked back. He enjoyed making people laugh, having fun and creating a great relationship with his audience.
"But what I really like about this job is that I help people forget about the really serious and troubling things for a bit and remind them of their family, and childhoods. Things you can smile about," Anderson said. "It creates a lot of memories and joyful ones especially."
Anderson gains his comedic inspiration organically from the every day things. Whether it's a big guy with a skull tattoo carrying his pillow through the airport, shopping at the big men's store and realizing that if he gains another X on his clothes tag he'll be as big as next year's Super Bowl, or drawing from his life growing up on the east side of St. Paul he deals with the real and does it cleanly. At the Laff Boat performance people can expect no less.
"I'll talk about Minnesota, winter coming, being 50, being fat, my family. All the appropriate F-words," Anderson said. "These shows will be my baby boomer special and I'll try out some new things on my Minnesota audience for an upcoming TV appearance."
Anderson is currently on a tour that will take him from his native Minnesota through Wisconsin, Las Vegas, Florida and New York and an appearance on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. He admits traveling is the biggest challenge for him with his career, but when asked if he ever gets tired of making people laugh Anderson didn't hesitate.
"No. Sometimes I'm tired, but I don't let that impact my performance," he said. "I've got a job to do when I perform. People have spent money, made plans, called the babysitter, drove somewhere, and I have to show up. Whatever my ailments are they're not any more than my audience members and I get to perform and forget about mine and I hope that I help people forget about theirs."
On that note when he was asked if he would say laughter is the best medicine.
"Laughter is the only medicine for me, and there aren't any side-effects except for a little pee in your pants every once in awhile."

LONDON (Feb. 10)
Prime Minister Harold Wilson was asked in the House of Commons today whether he could discuss with West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard the German Government's plan to allow the statute of limitations on prosecution of Nazi war criminals to take effect on May 8. The question was asked by a member of his own Labor Party, Mrs. R. Short, "Do you think," she asked, "that, when you meet the Chancellor shortly, you could remind him of the worldwide concern regarding these proposals."
The Premier, non-committal on whether he would put the question to Chancellor Erhard, recalled that West Germany as asked all governments to bring forth any evidence in hand regarding war crimes, Noting that the German statute of limitations is to expire soon, he said: "It has been indicated that, if evidence was produced, it might be necessary to extend this period."
Meanwhile, today, a strong delegation representing not only Jewish leaders but also prominent British non-Jews conferred here with Hesso von Etzdorf, German Ambassador to the Court of St. James, and requested that the Bonn Government extend the statute of limitations on prosecution of war criminals as "a moral and political" necessity. The Ambassador, reportedly "sympathetic" to the delegation's views, said he would refer the request to his Government.
The delegation included Alderman Sebag Montefiore, chairman of the Anglo-Jewish Association's external affairs committee; Lord Monair, former president of the International Court of Justice; R.N. Carvalho; and Judge Neville Laski; Neville Pollack, educational officer of the Council of Christians and Jews. Letters from prominent non-Jews supporting the stand against letting the cut-off date on prosecution of Nazi war criminals go into effect were handed to the Bonn envoy. Among the signers were Baroness Asquith; Sir Henry Dale, vice-president of the Anglo-German Association and holder of the German Order of Merit; Prof, George Caplin, another recipient of the same West German honor; and Sir Harold Nicholson.

Stanford's newest assistant coach is very familiar to most Cardinal fans. Tavita Pritchard, the program's new running backs coach, was a Stanford quarterback from 2006-2010. He led the Cardinal to one of the greatest upsets in college football history, a 24-23 win over USC in 2007.
After spending two seasons as a defensive assistant for Stanford, Pritchard was promoted last month to the running backs post. Pritchard spoke with Cardinal Sports Report about the promotion and what it will be like to recruit for his alma mater.
Cardinal Sports Report: I know you've been out on the road recruiting already, saw Francis Owusu, Greg Taboada, a few of those guys. How was that for you?
Tavita Pritchard: It was extremely insightful. I actually got the opportunity to go out with the best, with Mike Sanford. I went to go see Greg in Atlanta. I saw Francis in L.A. And the biggest thing is the logistics, seeing how that world works logistically, the flights, the hotel and the rental cars and all that. Because when it comes to just recruiting this place and selling this place, I feel like there aren't many better suited than me, who like Coach Shaw, has a relatively unique opportunity to sell my alma mater, a place that I really believe in, that's easy for me to sell. I'm extremely biased when it comes to that. And can tell any parent, any kid how amazing this place is and the people that work here.
CSR: How did the whole promotion to running backs coach come about? What was that like for you when you found out that was an opportunity you would be receiving?
TP: Kind of as you guys can see there's just a lot of movement that happens in the coaching world. You'd like to think there are just a lot of opportunities out there, and for sure a possibility was me staying here and being elevated in some capacity, whether it be on defense or offense. I was all for any of those, and so while there were some opportunities elsewhere, this is my No. 1, this is where I want to be, and Coach Shaw knew that. And Coach Shaw and I obviously have a good relationship and he knows my offensive knowledge, and most of it's from him, so that's the good thing, this transition will be fairly seamless. To answer your question it all happened very quickly for all of it.
CSR: How has working on the defensive side of the ball with Coach Mason added to your skillset as a coach?
TP: Huge. It was invaluable for me to have spent the time I did with him and when Coach Tarver was here with him. Coach Koutulski is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to defensive philosophy. Spending time over there just learning the defensive side of the ball, how they game plan, how they teach defense, was so good for me because now as I transition and go to to offense when I'm looking at defenses, when we're scouting, I know what they're looking for. And I'm not the only one and I don't begin to think that because these guys have spent a lot of time studying football as well, but it just gave me insight, having spent these last two years really on that side is really going to help me down the road.
CSR: In 2009 when you were starting the Sun Bowl, Shayne Skov was making 16 tackles. Is that at all a strange dynamic now coaching some of the guys you played with?
TP: It's not strange. The first year I was on staff was 2010 and then I played with all of those guys, so that was a little different. But I think me now being in this role with those players is a testament to this place. It's a testament to Stanford, it's a testament to the kind of preparation you get here, whether you go in the tech world, whether you go into finance, you really are equipped to progress quickly because we try to be the best. So the fact that I'm able to be in this position to work with… and maybe it's because I look at it as working with those running backs. I'm not above them. I'm not going to tell them what to do, but I'm going to encourage them and try to be a resource for them as they try to navigate this thing. And the good thing is I've been in their shoes. I can empathize with them to a certain extent. I'm extremely excited to be working with the Shayne Skov's and Ryan Hewitt's, all of which I played with, but also with the younger guys and just still to be a part of this team.
CSR: With the RB situation, that's obviously going to be a major competition. Are there any leaders in the clubhouse for that spot, and kind of what are you looking to accomplish for the next few months?
TP: As you can imagine right now it's all about competition. They're all guys that want the all in their hands and that's how we want it. It will look a lot like 2010, even when Stepfan was having to share some carries. That's what this year will look like. There will be different guys touching the ball. There will be guys that kind of find their niche in the offense. We'll try to get, as coach has always said, the guys that give us the best chance to win are going to play, and the guys we trust are going to be the ones carrying the rock, but we're excited about each and every one of them. They all have potential to help us in different ways. We're excited about all of those guys.
CSR: Finally, on the recruiting trail, how many of the guys have brought up that 2007 SC win when you've been talking to them?
TP: It's been brought up a couple times. And it's always fun. It's always fun to bring back.
Consider signing up for a seven-day free trial to Cardinal Sports Report for analysis and information about all the recent developments in Stanford football.

Eat Right For Your Type / Blood Type Diet - a Review
The concept to "
Eat Right For Your Type
" - or the "
Blood Type Diet
" - is based on research conducted by
Peter D'Adamo, ND,
who claims that people fare better (including with weight management), when tailoring
their diet to their specific blood types. He proposes that lectins cause agglutination (clotting) of blood cells
in someone with the wrong blood type, which in turn
may create serious liver or kidney problems as visible
under a microscope.
He further theorizes that elevated urine indican levels
- prevalent in many gastrointestinal diseases such as
celiac disease, diverticulitis, pancreatic insufficiency,
inflammatory bowel diseases and others - can also be
attributed to specific blood types affecting the inter-
actions of foods with intestinal bacteria, and creating
polyamine abnormalities.
In addition, different blood types, according to Peter
D'Adamo, affect the body's secretory performance in
respect to digestive juices, whereby a Type O for instance is capable of producing higher than average
stomach acid levels, which could lead to a greater incidence of gastric ulcers. As a result, he advises that:
should basically stick to fruits and vegetables (high carbs / low fat).
They have thicker blood than other blood types, a sensitive immune system,
and should not consume dairy products, animal fats, meats, and some grains.
They are at a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.
should consume a balanced diet (fruits and vegetables, grains, fish, dairy, meat,
but avoid chicken). They have the best chance of bypassing or overcoming
everyday types of diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
should consume a mostly vegetarian diet, and only on rare occasions some
fish, meat (no chicken), and dairy.
should basically stick to a high protein diet (including red meat), low carbs, and
enriched with fruits and vegetables. They should limit the intake of wheat germ,
whole wheat products, corn, and avoid dairy products and most nuts.
Type O types are commonly affected with hypothyroidism, high stomach acid
(leading to ulcers), and thinner blood with greater resistance to blood clotting.
TYPE A types
TYPE B types
TYPE AB types
TYPE O types
Peter D'Adamo's theories have not been accepted by the scientific community at this time.
How do different Blood Types relate to various medical conditions?
Based on
research, there are some known Blood Type / Disease -
Associations, such as:
• Blood Type A
individuals being more prone for blood clotting / heart attacks, pernicious anemia, gastric
cancer, and showing greater susceptibility to the smallpox virus.
• Blood Type B
individuals having a higher incidence of thyroid, biliary and esophageal cancer, stroke
(females, but not males), and a greater susceptibility to tuberculosis, especially those of Asian descent.
• Blood Type A, B and AB
individuals having a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer, and ischemic
stroke (males and females).
• Blood Type O
individuals having a somewhat higher risk / incidence of peptic, or duodenal ulcers, lower
fertility (females), greater susceptibility to infectious diseases such as scarlet fever (with Blood Type B),
cholera, typhoid, or having died from the bubonic plague. Blood-sucking insects (that carry diseases)
prefer Blood Type O.
A 2009 Boston study confirmed findings from several decades earlier suggesting a blood type / malignancy
risk association, whereby the chances of developing pancreatic cancer for instance were 32% higher for
those with Blood Type A, 51% greater for Blood Type AB, and 72% higher for Blood Type B.
Another study proposes a greater risk for being diabetic due to impaired glucose metabolism with blood group
Types A and O, and developing diabetes from dietary reasons (high meat and fat intake) with Blood Type B.
How does that help doctors and their patients?
Unfortunately, this does not help or affect everyday clinical applications, or patient / treatment protocols.
For instance,
gastric complaints
- from ulcers to gastric cancers - prevail in Blood Groups A and O, which
represent more than 80% of the global population. If one includes esophageal cancer (Blood Type B), then
it covers from 90 to 99% of the world population. Not only would it be impractical or pointless to suggest
dietary changes for preventive or therapeutic purposes, but what should the recommendations be?
Since there is such a large variety of possible causes for gastric disorders, including about two dozen strains
of bacteria implicated with stomach ulcers alone, there are no universal therapeutic or dietary solutions that
are practical, cost effective, and can be safely applied to such a large percentage of the population. The
same circumstances apply when trying to formulate diets around blood types for any other medical disorders,
not one single disease is exclusive to one particular blood type!
Ever since first reviewing the "
" proposition and recommended food list, I was as
curious and intrigued as many other medical researchers and practitioners to clinically apply those theories
by comparing patients' blood types to their medical disorders or nutritional imbalances - looking for a trend
or pattern.
It quickly became apparent however that patients suffering from high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or
high stomach acid,
shared the same blood groups
with those patients exhibiting low blood pressure, low
blood sugar, or low stomach acid. As expected, the same applied to patients with a lifelong tendency for
weight gain, weight loss, nearsightedness, farsightedness..., as well as other "
" vs "
" conditions,
so at this time, the inclusion of blood types doesn't serve as a helpful screening method.
How do different Blood Types compare to a patient's chemical / nutritional profile?
Since the "Eat-Right-4-your-Type" concept mainly focuses on dietary lifestyles being matched to blood groups,
it would stand to reason that blood types should match the
chemical and nutritional
requirements or profile
of an individual - sort of like the
Metabolic Typing
of patients - where diets are adjusted according to some-
one's biochemical or genetic make-up. Unfortunately,
there is no practical or clinical match whatsoever!
Nutritional excesses or deficiencies can exist with all patients, without being unique to specific blood groups.
Some people claim that since following the "Eat-Right-for-your-Type" recommendations, they had lost weight,
or felt otherwise better, however when reviewing any
specific changes
made, they invariably consisted of
lifestyle changes that are universally considered to be beneficial -
regardless of someone's blood type
such as eating more fresh, unprocessed, and healthier foods, while cutting out junk food, and/or eliminating
foods which either cause, or have an unfavorable impact on specific medical problems one is suffering from.
Avoiding food sources that someone has an
to will certainly have a positive impact on
someone's health, but the need to do so has either a genetic basis involving a compromised immune system,
or it develops as a result of an abnormal gut flora,
which can happen with all blood types
, not just certain
blood groups as claimed by "Eat-Right-for-your-Blood Type" proponents.
The credibility of linking a dietary lifestyle to one's Blood Type is also being challenged by an ever-increasing
number of individuals who applied the principles of the Blood Type Diet since its inauguration. After changing
to a more vegetarian or meat-based lifestyle, or after adjusting to specific foods based on Blood Type Diet
recommendations, they subsequently had to revert back to their previous dietary lifestyle again following a
decline in their well-being, the tolerance of the new diet, or the poorer management of their medical issues.
Even a broken clock will show the right time twice a day, so there will always be individuals who
by chance
experience an improvement in their well-being by switching to an "Eat-Right-for-your-Type" dietary lifestyle.
Proponents of the Blood Type Diet also claim that:
"Blood Type O is commonly affected with hypothyroidism,
high stomach acid [leading to ulcers], and thinner blood."
When considering the proposed link between "
Blood Type O
" and "
higher stomach acid levels
" -- it would
certainly help if the people who come up with these novel ideas took the time and actually measured stomach
acid levels of individuals with each blood group so they could speak from experience instead of simply making
things up while writing a book. Not only are high
low stomach acid levels found with
every blood type
but low levels commonly outnumber high levels, with Blood Type O being no exception.
Most ulcers are not caused by high stomach acid levels, but the destruction of the protective mucous lining
of the stomach through various substances or
. For instance, a Helicobacter Pylori infection actually
reduces stomach acid levels
-- however this does not prevent it from being a
leading cause of ulcers!
In fact, to improve symptoms when antibiotic therapy or other treatments have failed to eradicate H. Pylori,
it is necessary to
raise stomach acid levels
, provided this is done before the protective mucous lining of the
stomach is damaged by the bacteria, and an ulcer has developed (see also "
H. Pylori and low Stomach acid
Blood Types don't change, so recommended Diets according to the
"Eat right for your Type / Blood Type Diet" concept remain fixed and
don't change either, however many medical conditions change over
a lifetime, and as a result require a change in Medications and Diet.
The question of whether someone is better off following a mostly
, rather than a mixed, or more
meat-based diet, should also be based on an individual's biochemical make-up or organ functions - which are
ultimately affected by any such diet - rather than on recipes based on blood types, where "Blood Type A" is
supposed to avoid animal products (see also "
There is nothing worse than seeing a protein-starved, iron-deficient, and anemic patient who was made to
believe that following a food list or fad diet outlined in a book would resolve all of one's medical complaints.
Does the Eat Right for your Blood Type Diet really work, or is it just another Fad?
Conventional medical wisdom dictates that dietary lifestyles should be based on evidence-based, medical,
and individual nutritional requirements, while Blood Type Diet proponents recommend diets that are tailored
around blood types. Their concept would make perfect sense if all individuals with the same blood groups
suffered all from the same medical disorders, had all the same nutritional needs, and they all needed the
same medications, but that is obviously not the case.
Only the
reduced resistance
to some diseases can be at times attributed to a particular blood group, but
most medical conditions have a genetic basis, which can be equally affected by pathogens, toxic exposure,
trauma, medications, and many other factors. Unfortunately, this pretty well invalidates Peter D'Adamo's
"Eat-Right-for-your-Type" proposition
if at birth
, his Blood Type Diet hypothesis had indeed been valid. ¤
Whether developing from dietary, genetic, or other causes, the same medical conditions appear and disappear
across all blood groups, but they would have to dominate specific blood types over a lifetime according to the
premises of the Blood Type Diet. Changes in nutritional requirements as a result of
also contradict a
"Eat-Right-for-your-Blood Type / Dietary" link. For example, a blood group-specific lifestyle is supposed to
be maintained throughout a person's life, but a lot of changes take place post menopause and andropause.
Along with diminishing hormone levels, one's potassium, zinc, and stomach acid levels commonly decline as
well, while phosphorus and sodium levels tend to increase -
independent of dietary intake, or blood type!
These chemical changes may result in elevated blood sugar, high blood pressure, water retention, and/or
weight gain, and despite having Blood Type O, may require a reduced intake of meat and other phosphate or
high iron sources, but necessitate a greater intake of dietary or supplemental potassium and zinc. One could
consider another Type O individual who has been enjoying and
a high protein / red meat diet, and
then consumes an E. coli-contaminated hamburger, ending up with kidney damage. Obviously, his blood type
is still Type O, but unless he starts to follow "Blood Type A" dietary recommendations now (a low purine diet
and more oxalate-free vegetables), he may soon encounter his first gout attack, or worse, he could be soon
on dialysis.
In a "Blood Type O" female, who was previously
(supposedly being prevalent with Type O), the
menopause-related hormonal changes now trigger
as a result of naturally declining estrogen
and manganese levels. To continue thyroid-raising strategies as per "Blood Type Diet / Eat right 4 your Type"
guidelines in this and other countless examples, instead of following proper medical procedure, could have
disastrous consequences.
