Of Dreams and Action
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

Risks for Stomach Cancer
The singer Ronnie James Dio recently passed away from stomach cancer. His wife said that he rarely ate vegetables and his favorite foods were meats, pasta, and bread. He also enjoyed his wine. His wife encouraged people to be assessed for their risk of stomach cancer and to increase the amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables in their diets as that is one of the easiest things a person can do to prevent this disease.
Ronnie was Italian and I wonder if people of Mediterranian heritage are more prone to diseases such as stomach cancer, and if so, is it because of a genetic predisposition or because of diet.

My Two Cents Worth on Kristin Stewart
As a person, Kristin Stewart seems like an intelligent, sensible, down-to-earth young lady. I have read interviews with her and think that she has a much better grasp on things than many of today's young celebrities. She dresses modestly, doesn't see the need to party all the time, hasn't been in and out of rehab, and doesn't flash her privates while exiting limousines. I very much like and appreciate Kristin Stewart the person. The world would be a better place if more young people looked up to her than to the likes of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
Kristin Stewart as an actress is, I'm sorry to say, terrible. Her style is completely wooden. It isn't only her performance in Twilight that I have an issue with. I'm watching her in a 2004 made for TV movie called Speak, and I have to say, if she were a teacher, her voice would put me right to sleep. Her delivery is utter monotone.
It may in part be the roles that she's been given of the depressed teenager who perceives herself as awkward. I have not seen her performance in The Runaways yet, but given her track record, I have to say I'm a bit reluctant to give it a look.
