		<description><![CDATA[Miami, Florida (ContentDesk) August 13, 2005 -- Never forget! Are the words that are going to emblaze the windows of potentially over 200 Ford Mustangs as they cruise from West Palm Beach, Florida to the Florida Keys this coming 9/11 Anniversary in an effort to raise money and pay tribute to the victim's families of the Sept. 11 tragedy.The Caravan will be beginning in Jupiter, Florida with the Palm Beach Mustang Club, picking up several other club chapters on the way down, and ending at Holiday Isle in Islamorada who will be hosting a Mustang car show in support of the event.Several of South Florida's Mustang Clubs from West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami are banding together to make this a memorable event. The caravan is being hosted and coordinated by members of SouthFloridaStangs.net and MotorHead Cty, (www.motorheadcity.com) a local Internet community who consist of over 500 local members from all walks of life who all share a passion for this 40 year old auto, and an even stronger passion for this cause.Ben Launerts a moderator with SouthFloridaStangs.net says: "Our goal is to pay tribute to the fallen in the most unique way possible, and what better way than a caravan of over a hundred unique versions of America's favorite automobile, with all cars proudly waving the American flag." Several Mustangs will even be arranged in a red, white and blue theme. SouthFloridaStangs.net expects this to be a landmark tribute and hopes to raise a significant amount of money for "The National Fallen Firefighters Association", a national charity that supports families of the Fallen and even offers College Scholarships for their children.The club is raising money by accepting donations from members, raffle donations and corporate sponsorships from Moroso Motorsports Park, Wayne Akers Ford, Steeda Autosports, MotorHead Tools, Total Mustang Supply and Prospect Muffler with more to follow.  Those interested in donating or sponsoring the event may contact Benton Launerts at (305) 610-0892. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Handel's Messiah Performed by the San Francisco SymphonyRead Jetsetters Magazine at www.jetsettersmagazine.comTo read this entire feature FREE with photos cut and paste this link:http://www.jetsettersmagazine.com/archive/jetezine/classic/sfo/messiah/messiah.htmlAt a time of year when nearly every merchant is pushing their wares on the American public in the grand spectacle of Christmas, it's difficult to find an oasis of sanity - a place where the meaning of the holiday hasn't been shoved aside in favor of bell ringing Santas, rehashed Muzak versions of tired carols, and grouchy, harried shoppers all trying to rush through their days.But such an oasis can be found in the music of the San Francisco Symphony's version of Handel's Messiah, performed this year at the Flint Center on the campus of DeAnza College in Cupertino, California, about an hour south of San Francisco. Once we entered the hall, we felt the world of craziness drift away.Previous performances of Messiah that I've heard have been high volume events with sopranos in the rafters and choruses blowing out the back doors. I was pleased to see that conductor Christopher Seaman had chosen a more reverent and controlled version of this widely interpreted piece.Handel wrote Messiah during the years of 1741-45, and performed it first to an indifferent London reception. The piece was revived, however, in 1749, and Handel continued to revise the piece significantly throughout the rest of his life. He lengthened, shortened, and removed many sections, and rewrote portions to match the voices of the local singers. After Handel's death in 1759, many composers have rewritten the score to suit the tastes of the time; some of the most famous revisions are Mozart's (1789) and Ebenezer Proust's (1902).In the last 35 years, symphonies have been making attempts to return to Handel's spirit for the piece, though not always to the letter - or "note," as it were. Music writer Michael Steinberg says that "Two approaches to performing Messiah are available. You can reconstruct one of the forms in which it was actually given by Handel between 1742 and 1759 (or, for that matter, the 1741 score), or you can treat the score with its variants as a soft of kit from which to build an edition of your own. Like most modern conductors and editors, Mr. Seaman takes the latter, synthetic approach."Seaman is a magician, able to take 200 voices, several dozen strings, and four powerful soloists and make the setting feel like an intimate private concert, even like chamber music in some movements. By controlling the pace and volume precisely, he leads the listener through every delicate step, never forcing the music on the audience, but rather presenting it as a gift.Each of the soloists seemed personally moved by the music, no one more so that soprano Danielle De Niese. The Australian-born singer captured the stage visually in a stunning lime green ball gown that set off her green eyes, but what shone most was her deep love of the music. Although the soloists play prominent roles in the performance, no one sings for any length of time or very many movements. By the end Ms. deNiese seemed to be enjoying the music so thoroughly that it seemed that she'd rather sing in the chorus next time around, just to get to participate more.To read this entire feature FREE with photos cut and paste this link:http://www.jetsettersmagazine.com/archive/jetezine/classic/sfo/messiah/messiah.html, Jetsetters Magazine Correspondent ?

		<description><![CDATA[Huntington Beach, CA (ContentDesk) February 17, 2006 -- Over the years, the presence of obesity in children has dramatically increased.  Many experts attribute the surge to video games, television and computers.  Others believe that the problem stems from poor eating habits while others believe it may be a little bit of both.  Among other problems, obese children are at higher risk for developing diabetes and heart related illnesses.  Professionals are often concerned that obese children will grow up to be obese adults, which could have devastating health effects.A child who is overweight or has recently been diagnosed with obesity, should not be singled out from the family as being the only one needing to make a change in their lifestyle.  Instead, the entire family should join together and participate in healthier meals, less television time and increased levels of activity, including walking.  Among the best remedies to combat obesity is eating more fruits, vegetables and less foods that are high in fat.  Always have healthy snacks available for your family and encourage them over junk foods.  Secondly, set a schedule for the entire family to take a walk or spend some time doing some type of activity, including a game of basketball, a short walk, etc.  Anything that will get your child up and moving instead of spending all of his/her time in front of the television or video game will be to their benefit.  And finally, be active in your childs medical visits.  Ask the doctor questions about your childs body mass index, ideal weight for his/her age and height, etc.  If your child is in school, consult with the faculty about the selection of breakfast and lunch foods.  If necessary, try and persuade the school to offer healthier foods or snacks.  In addition, a physical education class may need to be encouraged as part of the schools daily curriculum for every student.If your child is obese, it is important to be supportive through this difficult time and not make them feel bad about themselves.  Often, overweight children will undergo teasing at school, which is when parenting becomes even more difficult.  Explain to your child that every child gets teased at some point and that there is nothing wrong with them.  Be sure that your child knows they are loved unconditionally and make home a warm place for them to be.Contact Information:Dana Goldberg16835 Algonquin Street #411 Huntington Beach, CA 92649http://www.parentingspirit.com. ]]></description>
