text: I am asking this for one of my closest friends.... Here is the supremely condensed background; a few years ago he was convicted of a felony, BUT the charges got reduced to misdemeanor, and he is serving 3 years probation...his question is in regards to the 4473 form; specifically 11b-11e; "have you been convicted of a felony for which you could have been imprisoned for at least a year, even if your sentence was reduced, including probation?" SO..I told him to ask his probation officer first, because that is likely the best source of information.... the charges were drunk driving and possession of drugs; but considering that it got reduced to a misdemeanor....I don't know if it would still show up as "felony" in regards to that question?? I told him to check to make sure that he was convicted firstly, of either felony or misdemeanor..... His probation is coming up to be finished soon, and he is wanting to buy a rifle for his wife as a surprise.

Angela, you are right, they were about 4 feet tall, maybe even 4 1/2 feet.

So Many Changes...
First off, I have to admit that I'm a terrible blogger. I was never really good at doing something consistently every single day, but I guess it is something that I will work on.
Well, back to the grindstone, I suppose. My next topic is a brave one. I will attempt to discuss my...dondondon...direct lab supervisor. She is the reason why we are all so quirky. I will start off by saying that Elizabeth is one of a kind...I'm talking snowflake one of a kind cause there will never be two snowflakes exactly alike. If I ever meet someone remotely similar to Elizabeth, well that's the day when she spawns a twin/clone. Hell could freeze over and Jesus could come back to Earth and still there would be no one like this woman.
The best way to put it is that she's very...hmmm...let's see...space-cadet...flighty...should've been a blond..She tends to remind me of those Quaker Rice cakes. Full of air. Don't get me wrong...she's a wonderful person, but i don't think she was ever made to be a supervisor over anyone. She'd just rather be friends with everyone.
So..this week we had a major inspection for the blood center. Everybody was all in arms with each other...high-strung...anal retentive, but necessary to get everything accomplished before the FDA and "The Infamous Europeans" come. Well, Elizabeth has been designated by our CEO Joe to make sure the validation for our fairly new computer system is completed and in order just in case they want to see all of our test runs before the system was installed...a three month process that included many frustrations, lots of hours, and many many mistakes! Anyway, Elizbeth finds that our test runs about two months ago never included any "fake" distributions to hospitals because there was, at the time, no way for the computer to distinguish between "fake" and "real" shipments.
Well, finally the computer people got things fixed and set up a system that was purely for validation, and a live system that we use everyday. Well, leave it up to Mrs. Elizabeth to create a whole different set of troubles! We all have to laugh because we've all done something completely ridiculous at the blood center, but she tops the list...so far!
Elizabeth starts doing her weekly audits on Monday and is usually through with them by Wednesday morning, or so. She checks things like our register which calculated how much money is being distributed in and our of our system to hospitals and then back to us. This is her main job on mondays, and she hates mondays...they are...shall we say, mundane.
So she gets this bright idea that on monday afternoon she will take a break from the registers and work on more computer validation junk. Well, she starts to ship, pack, and receive "fake" blood to and from our center and hospitals and by the end of the day she has made remarkable progress. About 70 orders total, so she leaves for the day. As everyone piles in on tuesday morning, however, the center becomes a ruckus and everyone is in a little tizzy. Jenny, on call, I think is in major panic mode because apparently quite a bit of blood never made is to some hospitals overnight, and they have scheduled major surgeries around what they thought would be a pleasant surplus of blood products. Those products never arrived, so many a phone call were made to the distribution office overnight. Chaos ensues. About 70 orders...real, not fake...orders of chaos. Yes, my friends, Elizabeth did all of her "fake" validation in our live system, therefore those 20 O negative units that were needed in a trauma that happened overnight, those she thought were merely a test, actually appeared in on the main hospital's computer system and many many other horrible accounts of the blood that never made it to many other hospitals.
So I will say this...in short, many lessons were learned, large and painful headaches were medicated, and Elizabeth added 10 years of unneeded stress to her life. I think her hair got grayer because of this. You gotta love Lifeline.

Each day in class we had the morning to draw our cast and the afternoon to sketch the figure. So after 4 weeks this is what I came up with in the mornings:
I am sorry that I have not updated. You have to understand that I am distracted by so many galleries, events, and museums. So I will be catching up on Flickr uploads and blogging later on. This workshop has taught me so much. I will sum it up in one phrase: "Structural metaphor"

Never Say Never

Good for you lady! Sometimes I don't think teachers, especially high school teachers, realize how influential their words can be. I was always an A student and in my senior year I had a teacher tell our class that anyone who got As all through high school had hit their peak. They would never get any better than that. That was in 2002. 10 years later I still remember it and remember thinking feeling lost. If I had already peaked, what would I do next? It sucked! Congrats for finally finding your niche. I'm sure your students are thrilled about it :)ReplyDelete
WOOHOO for you missy! congrats for sticking to your goal and saying forget you to that horrible teacher. such a shame teachers like that are still allowed to be in charge of youth. Makes me so sad!ReplyDelete
I know your students appreciate you and I must say I appreciate you nurturing the minds of the future. CHEERS CMAE!
The whole "you don't have to know your major right away" is the biggest load of BULL they'll ever tell you when you start college. I'm STILL trying to catch up from my mistake as a freshman.. many summer classes later. But it's all about getting there eventually right? ;) So glad you followed your passion, after rediscovering it! You definitely have a talent, and your students' artwork is to die for. I always enjoy seeing those posts!ReplyDelete
This brought tears to my eyes, happy ones. I'm so proud of you, and I know that my motivation to follow both my calling and passion will prevail, especially after reading your story. Thank you so much for sharing this! You're very inspiring!ReplyDelete
I am so glad you did choose to become an art teacher because I can tell through your writing how much it impacts you and how you are really changing lives of your students.ReplyDelete
I always love looking at the work your students do in your classes. You are so talented and I am so glad you are sharing your talents with children in America! They are blessed and lucky to have a teacher like you in their lives :-) I know your mom is smiling down on you and your success! XoxoReplyDelete
Such an inspirational post! You are precious. Teachers are amazing people and thanks for making a difference in those little lives!ReplyDelete
I majored in art my freshman year of college and that's the reason I changed my major! We had 1-2 art teacher that taught all of the classes because the major was so small. I kid you not, I got a D on EVERY single project I did in my drawing class & intro class because this woman hated me! I get that maybe I wasn't good at it/doing it how she liked it, but come on, a D? In my book, D's are reserved for those who just didn't try hard enough, not for people who may not have done it to her liking!ReplyDelete
What an amazing story - thanks for sharing! I always love hearing how things end up working out for people. I'm sure you are a fabulous art teacher so you made the right choice :)ReplyDelete
Love your blog and you as an art teacher is completely inspiring. Art can be cathartic and wonderful and so many wonderful things. Your students are lucky to have your guidance. I am moved that you shared the back story of losing your mother and dealing with your life after. I lost my mother when I was 16 (she was sick about 2 years). That is a tough thing.ReplyDelete

The 9th bi-annual World Beer Cup ended last Saturday (May 5) in San Diego. It was the largest competition ever held, with a total of 3,921 beers entered by 799 breweries from 54 nations and 45 U.S. states. The judges awarded 284 prizes in 95 categories. Whew! A lot of numbers and a lotta beers.
The largest category, and the one with the largest growth over the previous event, was American-Style India Pale Ale (with 150 entries), followed by Imperial India Pale Ale (with 93). The smallest was German-Style Sour Ale with only 11 beers entered.
Twenty-one Japanese brewers participated, bringing a total of 96 beers to the competition. They were the following: AJI (Minoh), Aqula, Asahi, Baird, Chateau Kamiya, Coedo, Fujizakura Kogen, Ise Kadoya, Kinshachi, Kiuchi, Konishi, Kumazawa, Moku-Moku, Nanto, Rokko, Sankt Gallen, Swan Lake, Tamamura Honten (Shiga Kogen), Warabiza, Yo-Ho, and Yokohama.
And how did they fare? Four breweries were awarded medals:
Gold: Minoh Beer Yuzu White Ale (Fruit Wheat Beer)
Gold: Fujizakura Kogen Beer Rauch (Smoke Beer)
Silver: Swan Lake Beer Amber Swan Ale (American-Style Amber/Red Ale)
Bronze: Kumazawa Chocolate Porter (Robust Porter)
Over the years, Hitachino Nest has been a standout brewer in this competition, with six medals, as has Nasu Kohgen, with a total of five. Swan Lake Beer's Amber Swan Ale has won three times, and their Porter has picked up four medals. Fujizakura's sublime Rauch and Rauch Bock have been awarded bronze and silver medals in the past, and this year the Rauch took the gold medal in the Smoke Beer category. Yet perhaps no brewery has done better than Baird Brewing did in 2010, with three gold medals in three diverse categories.
Congratulations to all the brewers. Look for those award-winning brews at your favorite craft beer bar.

ROBERT J. TRIFFIN, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.PROFESSIONAL RECOVERY SERVICES, INC. AND WACHOVIA BANK, N.A., DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS, AND DOUGLAS WATFORD, DEFENDANT.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Special Civil Part, Cumberland County, Docket No. DC-6904-08.
Per curiam.
Argued March 15, 2010
Before Judges Baxter and Alvarez.
Plaintiff Robert Triffin is in the business of purchasing dishonored negotiable instruments from check-cashing companies. Thereafter, as an assignee, he seeks to collect the face value of the dishonored check from the bank that deemed the check fraudulent and had consequently refused to debit the purported payor's checking account. He appeals from the grant of summary judgment to defendants Wachovia Bank, N.A. (Wachovia) and Professional Recovery Services (PRS). We agree with the motion judge's conclusion that Triffin is barred by the Court's decision in Triffin v. TD Banknorth, N.A. (Banknorth), 190 N.J. 326 (2007), from seeking recovery against Wachovia and PRS. We reject Triffin's claim that because his cause of action was equitable rather than statutory in nature, the Court's opinion in Triffin v TD Banknorth was distinguishable. We affirm.
On November 14, 2008, plaintiff executed an assignment agreement with Cumberland Check Cashing (Cumberland), in which Cumberland transferred to plaintiff all of its rights and interests in a check that had previously been dishonored by Wachovia. The check in question was payable to defendant Douglas Watford in the amount of $1,212.06 and was purportedly drawn on an account that PRS maintained at Wachovia. Wachovia returned the check to Cumberland, deeming the check counterfeit. Because Wachovia dishonored the check, it refused to transfer the $1,212.06 from PRS's account to Cumberland, thereby causing a loss to Cumberland in the amount of the dishonored check. For a reduced price, Cumberland assigned its rights against Wachovia and PRS to plaintiff.
On December 18, 2008, plaintiff filed a four-count complaint against PRS and Wachovia. In count one, he alleged that because Wachovia violated the "midnight deadline" of N.J.S.A. 12A:4-302*fn1 by waiting until after midnight of the day Cumberland presented Watford's check for payment, Wachovia had forfeited its right to dishonor the check. Plaintiff consequently maintained that by refusing to pay Cumberland the $1,212.06, Wachovia had engaged in "theft . . . of money through false pretenses" that "unjustly enriched" PRS "at the expense of [Cumberland], and now [plaintiff] as [Cumberland's] assignee." The first count concluded with a prayer for relief stating that "as a matter of equity, plaintiff . . . demands judgment against defendant[s] . . . in the amount of $1,212.06."
In count two, which named only Wachovia as a defendant, plaintiff alleged a violation of 12 C.F.R. 229.51 because the "photo in lieu" document that Wachovia returned to Cumberland did not bear the advice required by that regulation, namely "this is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check."
The third count named only Watford as a defendant, and alleged that Watford was liable to Cumberland and to plaintiff by reason of his unlawful action. Watford was never served, has never appeared in the action and has raised no claims on appeal.
The fourth count alleged a violation of the Consumer Fraud Act by Wachovia and Watford, for which plaintiff sought treble damages.
On February 20, 2009, two months after Triffin's complaint was filed, Wachovia moved for summary judgment. Wachovia argued that in Triffin v. TD Banknorth, supra, 190 N.J. at 328-29, a case involving this same plaintiff, the Court held that Triffin had no standing to seek recovery of the face amount of the check -- even if the bank had violated the midnight deadline rule -- because Triffin had purchased the check with full knowledge that the check had already been dishonored. The motion judge agreed with Wachovia's argument that Triffin v. TD Banknorth was dispositive and granted summary judgment to Wachovia.
PRS also moved for summary judgment, although on different grounds. PRS argued that plaintiff had not pled any of the elements of his unjust enrichment claim against PRS. The judge agreed, and granted summary ...

I would recommend looking for a local salvage supplier that might be interested. There is an "antique plumber" in my area who not only sells vintage things, he has a host of replica "vintage" as well. There used to be a few vintage building product suppliers as well, though I've been out of the business long enough now that I'm not sure what's available locally for me. At any rate, between Google, Craigslist, and your local yellow pages you're likely to find someone who will find a great new home for your vintage appliances.
Lots of people actually will buys these. Post for free on your local CraigsList. On Ebay, contact antique stoves, antique salvage companies.

My mother and my father both have very particular ways in which they make fluffy rice. The results, while both fluffy, are quite different from one another. My mother says that her method is Persian in origin, and my father says that his is Vietnamese. I will have to take their word for it...they, not I, lived in those places. My mother's method yields soft, separated grains, the kind of rice you find in India and (not surprisingly) goes extremely well with Indian food. My father's method yields grains that aren't exactly separated, but aren't sticky or heavy either. His rice is very dry and light--you've probably never had rice with this texture. (I haven't aside from his.) Both of these recipes work best with long grain white rice. If you have a different sort of rice, I would suggest my mother's method, although the result won't be the same.
I've written detailed instructions here, but once you get the hang of it both recipes are quick and easy--you can make them in about 30 minutes, while you cook whatever it is you're going to have with the rice. Basically, they involve boiling, draining and steaming.
My mother's rice
Heat plenty of water in a pot. Make sure you have enough water to let the rice swim freely around. While it is heating, rinse the rice: in a bowl, add cold water, let sit, stir, drain, and repeat. When the water is boiling, add the rice, bring back to a boil, and then turn the heat down so that the rice is just simmering. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grains are *almost* done (they should have just a little bite left to them). Turn off the heat and drain the rice in a colander. Add a little butter to the bottom of the pot, put the rice back in the pot, mix in a little bit of salt (and a pinch of saffron, if you want), cover the pot completely with a clean kitchen cloth, and return it to the stove. Turn the heat on very, very, very low and let it steam for about five minutes without lifting the cloth. At that point, fluff it with a fork and see what it's like. If it's not quite dry enough, steam it for a few more minutes. If you want a golden crust on the bottom—a Persian, not an Indian feature—heat it on medium-low heat for a few minutes more, and make sure you have put a nice little bit of butter in the bottom.
My father's rice
This requires precision, just like baking: the directions are not hard, but they must be followed exactly. Heat plenty of water and rinse the rice, as before. Make sure you rinse the rice very thoroughly (maybe 3 or 4 times). Add the rice to the boiling water and boil for exactly 2 minutes. Drain and return the rice to the pot. Add new cold water until the grains of rice form "islands": some grains of rice should stick out above the surface of the water, forming little islands, but no grains should be fully out of the water. Imagine arctic waters with lots of little chunks of ice floating on it, and you'll get the picture. (Whew, now you're done with the crucial step!) Turn the heat up until the rice comes to a boil again, about 1-2 minutes. Then turn the heat down to very low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid (you don't want any air escaping), and leave it alone for about twenty to thirty minutes. It's done when the rice is dry, soft and fluffy.

A few weeks ago I read The Thieves of Ostia to the kids. This is one of a 15-book series (The Roman Mysteries by Caroline Lawrence) set in ancient Rome. I had heard good things about the books and my kids were interested but not enough to read the series on their own, so I decided to read the first book. Then, I said, they were on their own.
The book was pretty good, not outstanding, and not really the kind of thing I like to read aloud. I like to save my reading time for books that my kids are not capable of reading, or comprehending, or processing on their own.
So we finished the first book and got the 2nd from the library so one of them could start it. But then we all got sick, or tired, or something, so I caved in and started reading it. It was quite exciting and we finished it tonight. And now I see that I will have to read the whole series to them, because one of the themes in this books is adultery. Or, to be precise, an accusation thereof.
No, the actual word is not used, but there is an accusation that a man's wife and his friend were were lovers, and that relationship produced a child. Yes, in a book for the 9 - 12 set.
Otherwise the books are good historical fiction, worth reading. The one we finished tonight, The Secrets of Vesuvius, gives a good picture of life under the volcano. It does not have a pat happy ending (though the main characters in the series, 4 children, all survive, of course). There are characters who follow that new religion, Christianity, and people who persecute them. There's excitement and fun and history.
But now I can't trust them to be appropriate for my kids to read on their own. Even 12 is too young to need to read about adultery (even if just imagined) in a novel. A novel!
But we're not doing the whole 15 books in a row. We did 12 in a row with the "Swallows and Amazons" marathon last year. The Roman Mysteries are fun, but they do not compare with Arthur Ransome's series of kids in England's Lake District. And there's no adultery to worry about either.

Last night was one of those that you never hope to have to handle. I called a friend of my and was horrified to hear that she had had another loss in her family. Feeling completely helpless I immediately started packing to head back to her place for the night. As I caught the metro back to NoVa I was taken back to a night 4 weeks ago when the call went out for this same friend. She had lost her mother and we scrambled to help in any way we could. Now she is again on a flight out of town to deal with another funeral. I can only imagine the turmoil she is dealing with.
After Kate and I arrived at the apartment we ordered pizza and just talked. Not about anything special, at least that I remember, we were just there. Finally, crawling into bed around midnight or so, we talked for a while before I dropped off into a disturbed sleep. Just before 5 am I woke with a jolt…..not often do I dream about Neil Patrick Harris (who was called Uncle Doog in dreamland) and Blanche Deveraux……but after surfacing I realized that my friend wasn't in bed, she wasn't able to sleep and had moved to the couch. So we sat and talked some more; about life and death and all things in-between. I don't think she ever fell back asleep though I got about 10 more minutes before I had to get ready for work.
Parts of that early morning conversation have stuck with me through out my day. For part of the conversation I spoke of Courtney and Kim and things that I share with very few people. I have learned to recite the events of that time without emotion but last night I was unable to do so. It irritates me that I couldn't keep my emotions in check, but even now my eyes tear as I think about Courtney. Her birthday is in just over 3 weeks. She would have been 28. In my head I can see her married to a good man, not someone who could turn heads but someone who was good like she was, with a whole passel of kids.
It has been 17 and a half years since that horrible day in August which changed the lives of every member of my family. If my heart still hurts this much, I can't even fathom how my step dad and siblings feel. The cliché's say that it gets better but it doesn't. You just learn to live with it. You become grateful for the twinge of pain, because that means their life was important. Even after all of these years I can hear Courtney in my head admonishing me when I have done wrong and encouraging me when I need a boost. Others have joined in now and I can hear Auntie Jo or Grandpa Galloway to help me through a trying time. While I am grateful for these tender mercies, I can't help but be selfish and wish they were still here to help me in person, not just in my memories.

Seriously, she lost another family member? Oh, no.
Yeah, death is hard. Everyone reacts differently and I can't imagine what she's going through.
- Richard said...
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I'm here if any of you need me.
- Lara said...
I'm not sure this is the friend I am thinking about. If so, please let me know if there is anything I can do.
I'm so sorry.

In this paper, we present a theoretical model and an empirical review linking disorganized attachment with New Age spiritual beliefs and activities via a proposed mediator; the propensity to enter altered states of consciousness (absorption/dissociation). Utilizing a prospective longitudinal design (N = 62), an empirical test of the mediational model is also provided for illustrational purposes. More specifically, we tested if unresolved/disorganized (U/d) attachment scores, as identified via the Adult Attachment Interview at the first assessment point, predicted New Age spirituality 3 years later, and whether this link was mediated by absorption. Results supported the mediational model, although the bivariate relation between U/d attachment and New Age spirituality was of modest strength. The discussion focuses on the general implications, clinical as well as non-clinical, of the proposed model. Finally, we argue that time is now ripe for attachment researchers to address additional non-pathological sequelae of disorganized attachment and the related propensity to experience altered states of consciousness.
According to attachment theory, the establishment of an attachment bond to a caregiver not only provides the infant with protection from danger, but also many other resources presumably beneficial to the child's general psychological development. Although there is substantial empirical support for a link between attachment security and social functioning in childhood and adolescence, less is known about whether childhood attachment contributes to social functioning beyond adolescence. Similarly, attachment has been found predictive of broad aspects of a person's functioning, but few attempts have been made to link attachment to the currently dominating perspective on personality, the Five Factor Model (FFM). Results in Study I partially supported our expectations, by showing prospective links from middle childhood security to various aspects of social functioning in young adulthood. Further, security contributed to developmental change in social functioning from middle childhood to young adulthood. In Study II, middle childhood security was found to predict some of the FFM personality traits (primarily extraversion and openness) concurrently and prospectively, partially supporting our expectations. The third aim of this thesis was to address whether attachment disorganization, which has usually been found predictive of maladaptive phenomena, may predict also other, non-pathological outcomes. In Study II, we found that higher levels of disorganization in young adulthood were concurrently associated with more openness and lower conscientiousness. Furthermore, in Study III disorganization was shown to be concurrently associated with more New Age spirituality and more absorption in adulthood. In addition, absorption was, in accordance with our expectations, found to statistically mediate the link between disorganization and New Age spirituality. Hence, these findings supported our assumption that disorganization might be expressed in other life domains besides specifically maladaptive ones. Taken together, we suggest that attachment spreads its influence to a broad set of life domains through its continuous influence on general psychological components such as cognitive representations and self-regulation abilities. However, the modest strength of our results indicates that attachment is only one among several factors involved in the development of social functioning, personality traits, and spirituality.

Connectivity, availability and security for large and medium-sized offices
Advanced routers for large and medium-sized offices requiring powerful communications equipment to support a large numbers of employees.
Many of the business models which entail a large number of regional offices, have an intermediate-sized office between branches and the central office. These are usually located in high turnover sites or are regional offices that control smaller local offices.
They are characterized in both cases as having a high number of employees, and so they need to support a high number of connections and high bandwidth. They must also be capable of providing application and user quality of service and of ensuring continuous connectivity.
Thus connectivity is a relevant issue in the profitability of this offices,since they are largely dependent on the central offices and they may need to provide some kind of service to the local offices that depend on them.
Teldat's large office product offering is specially designed to meet the needs of these scenarios. They are high capacity modular devices that can change their configuration according to user needs. They are also capable of supporting a high number of simultaneous connections and all the connectivity, quality of service, security and redundancy functions that these kinds of offices require.
Teldat offers two large office devices. The Atlas-160/260, for those looking for speed or converged voice and data scenarios. The Atlas-360 is superior in both speed and availability and integrates a 16 port switch and Wi-Fi all in one router.
- In these kinds of offices, where there is high turnover and where the work and productivity of a large number of employees is dependent on the quality of communications, the router is a key element. The capacity and reliability of the devices that are part of the connectivity platform is a differentiating factor in terms of profitability.
- The modular structure of these routers makes them suitable for those environments that are constantly changing, either because the number of employees varies or because the connectivity needs or services do.
- Wired Ethernet, ADSL/VDSL connectivity, optical fiber, G.SHDSL, serial, WLAN, wireless 3G or 3G/4G connectivity, USB or E1.
- Teldat's large office devices share the same platform and the same operating system as small office equipment. So, while they are superior in terms of performance and features, they are just as easy to manage and configure. This facilitates any maintenance, administrative and operations tasks required in the customer communications network, leading to a reduction in the total cost of ownership.
- The average lifecycle of Teldat devices is two and a half years higher than that of other similar devices. Customers thus benefit from huge cost savings, when equipment renewal periods, implementation and configuration costs, plus the costs and risks of engaging in a process of upgrading technology, are taken into consideration.

My work is based on a permanent construction and deconstruction of forms and aesthetics understood in a traditional way. Interested in the contrasts and dualities I fuse them looking for the fragility of an ugly beautifulness or a beautiful ugliness. As a base of the movement research for my pieces I use vocabulary of a classical and contemporary dance, nevertheless always distorted. The "authentic movement" improvisation is another source of material for my choreographies.
This being my aesthetical interest, I work in the same time, on phenomena related to a contemporary individual: lack of roots due to migration, freedom, temporariness, instability, the sensation of the "fragmentation" and an aspiration of synchronicity. That is also why I dedicate a part of my reflection and research to explore the possible empathy between the public and the performer. I'm especially interested in activating the spectator's senses and encourage them to take decisions about the level of participation in the creation and reception of the performance.
Finding myself in-between the movement and the concept, I relate to the work of such choreographers as Sasha Waltz and Xavier le Roy. Starting from a concept, problem, observation of reality, I pass to the deconstruction of it and then to the movement research, in order to generate the material. Afterwards I compose the piece relating the movement, often abstract, to the context looking for the integrity of the concept and its representation.

Caroline Jackson tripped over a broken beer bottle and nearly fell yesterday as she hurried across a muddy, trash-strewn lawn in downtown Annapolis to meet U.S. Rep. Wayne T. Gilchrest.
"Here's the problem," she cried, as several city officials offered steadying hands. "Here's where the killings are in the hallway. Here's where the violence exists. Right now, we're almost afraid of our own neighborhood."
The small woman in a floppy black hat was standing in front of a run-down apartment in which an Annapolis police officer was shot and wounded in February. Three other officers narrowly escaped injury when a gunman opened fire while they were searching the apartment for drugs.

Written by: Ann Hayes and Illustrated by Karmen Thompson
Have you ever met an orchestra? Well, here's your chance.
Meet the rabbit with her flute ... the koala cellist... the tuba playing warthog .. the alligator on the drums ...
This unusual introducton to the orchestra describes the instruments--strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion -- and offers interesting information about them.
This colorful and engaging book is a delight for young and older readers alike as an introduction to musical instruments in an orchestra. The book begins with "The Orchestra plays tonight. The audience has arrived. The musicians come on stage with their instruments. What a lot of different kinds they play -- strings, woodwinds, brass, adn percussion."
There is a lovely picture with the animals preparing to play their instruments. There is an alligator, rabbit, tiger... and .... you tell us the rest in the picture!
The first instrument described is the Violin. A raccon dressed in a tuxedo coat sits on a chair playing the violin. Notice his violin case.... There are stickers from the places where he has performed? Paris... Boulder, Colorado... New York... How fun!
We next move to the babboon wearing a summer dress or tutu playing the Viola. We learn the difference between the Violin and the Viola..... "The viola looks and sounds like a big brother to the violin. It has a deeper tone, reminding you of evening shadows, cloudy skies, and the color blue....
Who has ever seen a koala bear playing a cello? We have one here...... "You can't tuck a cello under your chin the way you do a violin or a viola?"
Why not?????????
"It is so big you must rest it on the floor."
A walrus playing the String Bass greets us next......
What is the string bass?
"The string bass is the grandpa of the string family... When bowed, its low notes moan and groan."
Rabbit plays the flute?
Beaver plays the Piccolo
Panda Bear plays the Oboe
Polar Bear plays the Bassoon
Two lovely Foxes play the Clarinet... A girl fox plays the B-Flat Clarinet and a boy fox plays the Bass Clarinet
Tiger plays the French Horn
Monkey plays the Trumpet
Wart Hog plays the Tuba
Alligator plays the Timpani or Kettledrums
Elephant plays the Cymbals
Another Monkey plays the Piano
Lion is the Conductor
and finally.......
The musicians have taken their places. The strings, who are by far the largest group of players, sit in front, almost filling the stage. The woodwinds sit close together at the center. The brass and percussions are in the back.
The conductor strides on stage in front of the orchestra, raises his baton ...
Let the music start!
I absolultely love this book and have recommended it to all of my musician friends, teachers, librarians, friends, family, co-workers!I love the pictures of each animal playing his /her instrument. Each description was short, fun, and played on our senses. For example, To play the flute, you hold it sideways, tighten your lips, and blow across the air hold. With practice, you can trill like a bird or play slow, quivering notes as cool as a mountain stream.
This certainly engages all of our senses!It is quite descriptive and makes you feel like running out and playing our favorite instrument!
My father played the tuba and my brother the trumpet so I am partial to the Bass instruments.......
The Tuba has a huge bell and a very long tube. The tuba seldom carries a tune. It is more of a rhythm instrument. Its "umpahs" help the brass to keep the beat, just as the thump of the bass does for the strings."
This book is an excellent addition to every home, school, and public library. This book is a great introduction to instruments, orchestra, classical music, etc.
Happy reading!
Until the next time...
A children's book a day, keeps the scary monster away!

There are many kinds of fighters. I'm not going to stop and mention every kind of fighter that you'll be able to find, because that's not the purpose of this post.
There's something that all fighters have in common. There's something that could be used for a "clasification" of fighters in which all kind of fighters fit in. Do you know what I'm talking about? Think through about it, think deeply. What is that that all fighters have in common?
All fighters fall down; they've fallen down a lot of times before, and they'll fall down plenty of times more. All fighters stumble down, want to give up sometimes, break, feel worthless... those adjectives kind of describe way too many people (if not everyone), so, what differences some people between one another so some of them are fighters and others aren't?
Even though I honestly believe that every single person is a fighter in their own way, it'd be good to keep clear what a fighter is.
The thing about fighters is that they get back up again, they keep up the fight even though it feels like it's impossible to win the fight. They don't give up even though some times they really want to. They continue fighting even though it looks like the fight isn't worth fighting anymore.
You're already a fighter, because you're here. Do you want to continue being one? Do you want to keep fighting no matter how hard it gets? The harder the run is, the better the prize will be. It's your choice - but any choice that means keeping up the fight and not giving up is the right one.

|The Devil's Advocate ( 1997 ).
You see, dear brothers and sisters, ' These Rhetorical Champions Of Our Own Modern Democracies Aren't Known As The Devil's Own Advocates Without A Very Good Reason '... and, once you open your own eyes to The Actual Truth Of The Matter, some of those answers may honestly astound you!
|John Milton offers Kevin some very sage advice.
What, Exactly, Is An Attorney At Law?
|Tom Paxton - says it all exactly right!
But, now, let's just start digging a little bit deeper. After all, they're also equally known as: Attorneys, Legal Advocates, Barristers, Defenders, Solicitors, Sophists, and Jurists.
|I'm Changing My Name To Chrysler....
In fact, whether you realize it or not, ' All Of Those Powerful Champions Were Created Just So That Others Could Lawfully Relieve You Of Your Own Personal Property '... and indeed, thanks to a great deal of highly skilled practice, They're Now Getting Exceptionally Good At It!
Then, of course, there is the often repeated title of: " Legal Advocate " - which refers to: " Someone Who Publicly Supports Or Recommends One Particular Cause ( Or, It's Own Personal Courses Of Action ) While Still Functioning Under The Law That So Truthfully Governs Over It ".
And, hell folks, you might as well admit it: ' Even The Devil Himself Meets The Exact Dictionary Requirement Of That One '!
Whatever Happened To Keeping Your Own Word; And A Very Simple Handshake....
|The Devil is always found in The Details!
In fact, any deal that knowingly employs such ( dishonest ) tactics as: Writing Out The Terms In Excessively Fine Print, Employing The Current Usage Of Out Of Date Language, and Somehow Mandating Any Part Of It In Latin - is an actual testament into precisely who that you, yourself, are doing business with.
I'm just saying... perhaps, It's Now Time For A Change!
Ahava and Shalom.
May Yahweh's Own: Love and Peace - be upon you!

I have enclosed a picture of some of our friends (the great people we are teaching). Could you imagine a happier bunch? They are truly GREAT and I love being a missionary! I am truly grateful to be here and with friends like this it is hard not to be happy. There is no place I'd rather be right now.
Congratulations on Eric graduating and finding work to begin saving for his mission already. Keep it up, brother! The result could be that Eric is ready to go as I return home? I'm impressed and looking forward to hear about his mission. Good going, Eric!
Paul sent me some missionary art work that I just had to post on my wall for me to see every day. Paul, you have a good sense of humor and I like it and you're a GREAT brother! In fact you and Eric are my best brothers EVER (no-one even comes close since you're my only two brothers [insert laugh track here]).
Transfer calls were this morning and guess what? Once again I'm staying in my current area BUT, I'm training! I'll be responsible for helping a brand new golden missionary getting off to a fresh start, I'm so excited!
If that is enough to get you excited, I might get to train a missionary from either Finland or Sweden. There are three missionaries in the new group coming down from "The North Lands." Two of them are Elders from either Finland or Sweden, and the third is a Sister from Norway. We're getting a full Scandinavian representation.
The more seasoned missionaries used to call new missionaries "Greenies" but, not any more--as it can shed a derogatory shadow on the situation. New missionaries are now referred to as "Golden" missionaries suggesting great worth and potential. I think the analogy of "Refining Gold" throughout a mission is more appropriate rather than the earlier idea of "Breaking in a Greenie." Goldens are eager, energetic and have a lot of excitement about the work, and I'm all in favor of that.
This last week I've been to Leadership Training for four days where I've spent most of my time being reminded how to be a better missionary, how to make use of the Holy Ghost in every aspect of our missionary work, making Him literally our third companion.
Love you all and I look forward to hear from you next week!
Elder Jepsen

When you anticipate doing any amount of mitring—that is, sawing at an angle—a mitre box would be a big timesaver. Guides on the mitre box can be conformed so that a backsaw will cut at whatever angle from 45 to 90 degrees to any desired depth. Care must be taken that the stock doesn't shift while cutting, and that the saw doesn't either touch the front or pull out of the rear guide. Matching pieces can be easily cut just by adjusting the length rod. Frames from 4 to 12 sides can be cut by relating to the proper angle, often pointed on the mitre box itself. In sawing, always begin on the outside of a mark. A crosscut saw has a kerf of about 1/16 inch, and a rough edge would require some added smoothing.

Bead/Chile Fiesta
Bead/Chile Fiesta was over Monday morning. Another year to wait for another one. Sigh. It was such fun seeing old friends again. Bonnie and I had to get up at 4:30 in order to catch a shuttle to the airport Tuesday morning. That was hard to do for a person who doesn't do mornings but we made it. She left for home in Dallas and I left for Phoenix to be with Coop when he had knee surgery.

I was thinking about writing a diary recently. In fact I forget many things.
I think it has a good aspect, yes forgetting. But there is nothing wrong
if we record it somewhere. Sometimes we can go through the old archives and
see what you were doing. Why ? nothing.. just to see .. that's all.
Now I am sitting in office, soorjith is just opposite to me.
Nandu and a new programmer (Sachin) is in the next room.
I have to teach him (Sachin) some technologies we use.
Well..I am going there now. But before that I have to make a commit.

"But they are altogether stupid and foolish In their discipline of delusion — their idol is wood!"
Have you ever believed a lie? I have. I was so sure. I knew I was right, but... I wasn't.
Your brain can play funny tricks on you. If you want to believe it's true, your brain can convince you it is. You think things are that really aren't. A misguided thought pattern develops and you quickly grow accustomed to the illusion. With practice, repetition, and the "discipline of delusion," it becomes easy to believe a lie. You adopt a false position and easily find empirical evidence to prove it... but you're still wrong.
As a technology addict, I've experienced this phenomenon firsthand. For years I wore pagers and cell phones on my hip. In public places I kept my devices on vibrate mode. Recently, I actually felt the vibration of my mobile phone... but it wasn't there! It was real. I felt it. I reached for my phone but it was not attached to my body. I knew it buzzed, but it didn't. The buzzing was in my head. My brain played a trick on me. "Phantom vibrations" are commonly reported among mobile phone junkies.[1] It's similar to the "phantom limb" phenomenon described by Merriam Webster's medical dictionary as "an often painful sensation of the presence of a limb that has been amputated."
Sometimes my brain tricks me in useful ways. I have not set my alarm in years. No matter how much or little sleep I get, my brain snaps me to attention every morning at precisely the time I must arise.
The prophet Jeremiah warned against the "stupid and foolish" practice of worshiping man-made gods. The people of his day believed their own propaganda. Through their personal "discipline of delusion" they became unalterably convinced of what was false. Jeremiah unswervingly exposed their cherished lie. He denounced sacred un-truth… "their idol is wood"!
Jeremiah is not a dusty book buried in a forgotten Bible. The spirit of Jeremiah is alive. He transcends time, pierces my heart, and delivers a directive...
'Challenge your phantom reality.
Don't be a fool. If your "idol is wood," burn it.'
[1] "It's not your cell phone buzzing; its your brain", The Oregonian, Business section, p. C 9, October 15, 2007.

The green guy was our first. I outlined the shape, and Maggie and I painted it together.
For the gray guy, I got pretty into the sky. Artistic, no? The pink and blue are a prince and princess fighting him.
But then today, Maggie and I did this:
Scary! The black slime dripping from him was kind of my idea. Maggie had too much paint and it was dripping, and she was about to freak out about it (RUINED! It would have been RUINED! Which you know she pronounces as "wuined."), so I jumped in and said, "Ohhh, he's dripping slime! How scary! I like it, let's do more!" I think I might have gone overboard.
The red blob on the lower left corner is a beer bottle full of blood for him to drink. That one was Maggie's idea. I can't say for sure who's idea the red fangs were, but i did paint them, so probably mine. But Maggie filled in the black mouth, which really upped the creepy factor by like ten.
Why do I fear that I'll one day be showing this to a psychologist??

Here is my completed shirt:
In person, the details are much better. This fabric looks SO busy in this photo, but I plan to pear it with gray or black slacks for work, and a gray sweater while the weather is still cool. This will do wonders for the business of the print. There are subtle shades of lavender and gray in this fabric, which is why I think it appealed to me so much.
Here is a close up of the pin tucks. Did I mention how happy I was that they came out perfect?!
OK, so blogger doesn't want to upload more photo's right now. Must be because the Packers won the Superbowl...

The only thing that might stop Jack Zduriencik from making a deal on Christmas day are all the other GMs stopping to open their stockings. As if Cliff Lee wasn't enough this week, he flipped Carlos Silva to the Cubs for Milton Bradley.
On paper, the deal is miraculous. Bradley had a down year in 2009, but draws walks at prolific rates, and has proven over the course of his career that he can hit. If healthy and happy, Bradley is a legitimate force in the middle of the M's lineup.
Over the course of Bradley's career, those health and happiness have been huge ifs though. It's hard to forget when he tore his ACL in San Diego as he was restrained by manager Bud Black from going after an umpire. Even a person who does not value clubhouse chemistry at all would be worried about Bradley's attitude. He is about as combustible as they come.
On top of that, it has become clear that Cliff Lee was surprised by the trade. It is just as clear that he really liked Philadelphia, and wanted to stay there.
So, did the Mariners just add a disgruntled pitcher, itching to leave at the end of the season, and couple him with the biggest clubhouse cancer baseball has seen in a long time? Or, have they added two key pieces they can ride all the way to October?
There is a case to be made for both scenarios. For now, I'm inclined to believe the latter. Here's why.
First of all, why wouldn't Cliff Lee be disappointed in the trade? He just went to the World Series with Philadelphia, after being on an Indians team that was going nowhere. Then, the Phillies approached about a contract extension. He had his eyes set on many deep October runs in Philadelphia.
All of sudden, Lee is shipped to the farthest outpost in Major League Baseball. He doesn't know much about Seattle, as he has said. What he knows is that he is leaving a situation he liked a bunch.
That's what I've heard with Cliff Lee's remarks. He hasn't said much about Seattle. What he has expressed is how much he liked Philadelphia, and he wouldn't have chosen to leave. That makes perfect sense.
There is ample room for Lee to like Seattle, especially if the team wins. That's no guarantee that he will stay, but there is a distinct possibility that he could. Everyone, including Cliff Lee, will get a feel for those odds as the season unfolds.
Even if Lee hates Seattle, he is a true professional, and is a season away from a big pay day in free agency. Lee will perform to the best of his ability no matter his feelings about the city and situation. I am not worried about him.
Milton Bradley, on the other hand, is a well-documented problem in lots of the places he has gone. He seems quite mercurial and volatile, to the point that nobody probably has a true idea what he will do.
We do know this though. The M's coaching staff features a couple people who worked with Bradley when he was in Oakland and Texas, the two places he did not really cause problems. Jack Zduriencik also says that Bradley is very excited to be in Seattle. All indications are that Bradley will walk into a clubhouse excited to have him, and a situation he is excited to be in. The relationship will get off to a mutually good start. I think most places Bradley has gone, he has been met with reservation (and probably for good reason). However, that only seems to feed Bradley's problems.
Milton will probably be high maintenance, but the Mariners are loaded with guys capable and willing to do what it takes to keep him in good spirits. There are legitimate reasons to believe that Bradley will be happy and productive with the Mariners. Again, that's no guarantee, but a whole bunch better than hoping for lightning in a bottle.
Not that trading Carlos Silva for a shot in the dark would have been a bad idea. He had no spot on the Mariners. Milton Bradley could be a very useful player. Still, it is alarming that Bradley's personality was deemed so destructive by the Cubs that they were willing to ship him away straight up for arguably the worst contract in all of baseball right now.
We will find out how it plays out. At this point, is there a more intriguing team heading into 2010 than the Seattle Mariners? Between Lee and Bradley, this team went from a nice story, to a developing story, to maybe THE biggest story (Yankees and Red Sox not withstanding, of course). Hopefully it's one with a happy ending.

As a student at a boarding school, an intensely competitive one at that, you realise one thing. No one and I mean no one can be trusted. Frankly, I trust the support staff here more than I trust most of my friends. Now, before you sigh in exasperation, let me reiterate that this statement may not be true for every person and that boarding school really is one hell of a place.
Before I move on, let me give you a little back story, I'm currently a junior in high school, which is the 11th grade. This means that next year, as seniors, my batch will be given various offices of responsibilities. Not surprisingly, everyone wants a position and most people are willing to go to extreme measures to get what they meant. All of us being power hungry adolescent teenagers does not help in the maintenance of our friendships. It's funny how little of a joke it is when I state that the situation over here is similar to that of the Hunger Games. I've often thought about how far I would go to get what I want in life. And even a dimwit can realise that everything is about playing politics. Playing it right is a whole different ballgame.
Over half a millennia ago, Nicolo Machiavelli said that, "It's better to be feared than loved, if you cannot do both." I never really did understand why he said so. Always having been a person who wanted to be liked and admired by everyone, this statement just seemed so illogical to me. That is until an unsuspecting me was brought down by his own 'friends' just because, in their words, 'I was placed on a pedestal.' Following this, something deep down in me broke.
I stumbled upon a realisation, love is fickle. It comes, it goes. But fear, fear is a much more stable motivator. Someone who is loved is only loved until he has something to give, the moment his views change his loved ones quickly forget their love. On the contrary, someone who is feared will always be in charge, regardless of his views. The simple fact that they do not know what will happen if they go against a feared person acts as the strongest motivator. It's easier to appeal to what someone fears than what they love.
I still think that there is a part of me that believes love is better than fear, respect is better than hatred. But I'm aware that that part is slowly being overshadowed by its' counterpart. I'm scared of how far I'll go to get what I want.

Medical tourism has seen a boon over the years, with India becoming one of the favorable destinations for medical tourists. Studies on medical tourism have shown that by 2015, medical tourism to India will see a growth rate of over 30%. India provides.
India has a an incredibly high number of skilled physicians and nurses and over the last twenty years, the economic boom the country has seen has led to the building of a large amount of medical facilities and infrastructure which rival the very best that western medicine has to offer. Many of the physicians that practice in these new hospitals and clinics have returned to their native India from the U.S. and Europe, leaving behind successful practices.
While there are many countries of choice for medical tourism and are viable alternatives for minor surgical procedures and treatments, India is one of the only mainstream options which offers comprehensive treatment and procedures for all medical needs and does so with the highest level of service, professional skills and facilities. In fact, when it comes to transplants and bypass surgery, India just cant be beat when it comes to cost. These procedures are done at a tiny fraction of the cost for the same procedure in the United States.
The lower cost comes with a significantly longer post-operative care as compared to post-op time in the United States and typically the total cost of care in India is less than most insurance deductibles here in the United States as well.
While in India, medial tourists are also afforded the opportunity to explore a unique blend of culture, art, architecture and the varied religions of India as well. India has an ancient history blessed with beautiful temples, beaches, mountains, monuments forts and forests which give the country its unique identity.
Benefits of Medical Tourism in India
There are numerous benefits to medical tourism in India, some of which we have outlined below:
Affordability: The main benefit to medical tourism to India is the low cost of medical care. For a fraction of what you may pay in the United States, you can receive the same high quality medical care in India for a much lower price.
Infrastructure: India has an enormous medical infrastructure of private hospitals which maintain a high standard of quality and are accredited by the International Organization for Standardization, Joint Commission International and the United States of America
Training and Staffing: Indias medical practitioners are some of the most highly trained physicians in the world, many having been trained in the United States and European Countries. The medical professionals are up-to-date on all techniques, procedures and treatments and many are on the cutting edge in their respective fields.
No Language Issues: The English language is widely spoken in India and many of the medical tourist destination facilities provide language interpreters for medical tourists who do not communicate in English.
Commitment: In many countries, doctors are unable to offer their patients the correct treatments and procedures for fear of medical malpractice or because their local laws govern their actions. However, in India, physicians are allowed to treat their patients based solely on what is best for the patient.
Support: The Indian government is supportive of medical tourism and provides special visas for medical tourists allowing them to stay in the country for an extended length of time.
Non-Traditional: There are a number of non-traditional procedures and treatments available in India as well. From homeopathy, Reiki, Ayurved, Naturopathy to Yoga, a patient is free to partake of these non-traditional methods in addition to other procedures and treatments, or on their own.
Recovery: Indias medical tourism places a high importance on the recovery aspect of medicine. Studies show that patients in India recover at a higher rate of success and more quickly because the recovery time incorporates the physical, mental and emotional state of the patient.

50lbs down! 200-150, size 14-6(LONG)
4 Attachment(s)
So the other day I hopped on the scale and saw I'd officially lost 50lbs! Lately I've been feeling super confident and happy and am starting to reconsider losing another 25lbs(which was my original goal), idk, I'll just wait and see :)
Anyways my story is a little different. I've struggled with self esteem issues my entire life. I have struggled with eating disorders for years stemming from various issues including body dysmorphic disorder. I'm really angry I wasn't diagnosed with body dys. before I entered treatment for my eating disorders when I was 22, especially since it started manifesting when I was 3 years old. I starting thinking I was fat at 3 or 4 and started having crying fits over feeling ugly and like a monster when I was 5.
Anyways, I spent 4 months in treatment, which were the hardest 4 months of my life. Honestly, I didn't really feel recovered when I left, it was just that the experience was so awful I would have done anything to get out. I still had a total disconnect from my body, but instead of trying to control my body through starvation and vomiting and obsessive beauty routines, I just gave up completely. I didn't care anymore. And I indulged a lot in eating. I felt that there was no way I'd ever be happy with my body, so why even try?
I really ballooned at 23 and gained a TON of weight. I had always been active, but again I was depressed and wasn't doing things that made me happy. Its like I wasn't in any danger of physically dying from harming my body, but I still didn't feel alive. I felt out of control. Also everyone around me was so paranoid I'd relapse they'd just encourage me to indulge.
Finally I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't feel like me. None of my clothes fit, I had gotten really out of shape, I realized that I needed to do something.
I tried a couple of sites before this one, but none of them clicked. In Feb. 2012 I came on here and started getting active. I started slowly, verrrry slowly. I started exercising. I got really into hiking and eventually my taste buds changed from craving unhealthy things to craving whole foods. I got really into cooking and eventually eliminated most bread, dairy, all prepackaged food, all fast food, chips, crackers desserts ect. Of course I do enjoy the occasional treat, but I really don't think about those things that much anymore. Exercise wise I'm still really into hiking and anything involving the outdoors. I had gotten into heavy lifting for a while, but I honestly HATE being indoors and really don't enjoy strength training, although I've been forcing myself the last month to do more with that :p Really though, I didn't make a single change this entire journey that I didn't think I could maintain for the rest of my life.
Ok! So here I am! 50lbs down and feeling GREAT! What's so crazy is I actually feel thin and healthy. I've never felt that way before!!!! Before, it didn't matter how thin I was, I never saw myself that way. But I've worked a lot to get my body dys. under control, and although I still see distorted images, its a lot better. I just have to accept that I can't trust my own judgement on my appearance and try not to freak myself out. I've had the occasional relapse with disordered eating behaviors, but I really think ED is something that is always with you. In treatment they explained that no one really recovers, they just learn how to manage it better. Right now I'm managing really well and have people around me who I've given permission to intervene if they see my acting odd. This actually happened recently with my obsessive weighing so my friend took away my scale for a month, which I was really thankful for.
Anyways, that was like the LONGEST THING EVER! But I've never really gotten to tell my story on here and its kind of different then your average weight loss journey, so hopefully it wasn't too boring :)
Now PICS! I have a lot so I'm posting the befores in this post and the now in the next!

After pics!
Wow! You look drop dead gorgeous! Super congrats on our success! Confidence is a no brained, you deserve it! Keep it up! :)
You look AMAZING! I started at 202 lbs and am hoping to get down to 145 - fairly similar stats. You give me a lot of hope that I CAN look great like you when I'm at my goal.
Um, holy crap. You look awesome! And thanks so much for sharing your emotional part too. I almost cried reading that. I have a 5 year old, and I am so afraid that I might be putting ideas in her head when she sees me trying to lose weight. So hearing about you being 3 and thinking you were fat just touched a nerve. I know I spent years as a teenager obsessed about my weight, when I wasn't even big. And then YEARS obsessing about my weight when I was overweight.
So thanks for the inspiration! You're amazing!
You most definitely should not trust yourself! You are stunning! Gorgeous! You have a face and body that is beautiful! Congrats and thank you so much for sharing your truth.
You are absolutely gorgeous!!! Good job on the weight loss!
CONGRATULATIONS! You look AMAZING!!! I am so proud of how healthy you are, mentally and physically!!!!!!! WAY TO GO!
Wow! You look great!! Congrats!!!
Holy cow!!! What a difference! I am so happy for you. Congratulations!
Thank you SO much everyone! :hug: I was really nervous about putting my story out here, so it means a lot to hear such encouraging words! I couldn't have done it without the wonderful support I've received on this site! :carrot:
OMG Dottington you look amazing!!! and can we go shopping together? I love your style!!!
Did you just cut of junk food and calorie count?? I feel like I need to get strength training in asap everyone who does it seems to look amazing!
Congratulation on 50lbs lady!! You look fantastic! :carrot:
Congratulations! What a wonderful accomplishment to have achieved such mental and physical health. Looking great must be a wonderful bonus. ;)
hhm I cut out pretty much all junk food, calorie count, watch my macros closely, drink tons of water, and hike an hour everyday. In the beginning I did a lot more strength training, and have recently been getting back into it.
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
