Albert King is known for his smooth vocals and, of course, for his incredible guitar work. On Born Under A Bad Sign, he's backed by that great house band, Booker T. & The MGs, along with the Memphis Horns. Born Under A Bad Sign includes several songs that Albert King had released as singles, such as that great famous blues number, "Laundromat Blues." But the rest is certainly anything but filler. Just check out that heart-tearing rendition of "As The Years Go Passing By."
This excellent album is now being re-issued as part of the Stax Remasters series. This new edition features five bonus tracks, all previously unreleased. Four are alternate takes of songs from the album; the fifth is an untitled instrumental tune. This CD has new liner notes by Bill Dahl, though also included are the liner notes from the 2002 re-issue, as well as the original liner notes.
Born Under A Bad Sign opens with the title track. The first version of this song I heard when I was a kid was that by Cream (on Wheels Of Fire), and I was so taken with the tune that I needed to hear the original. And when I heard Albert King, that was that. I still love Cream, of course, but this version by King is fantastic. I've heard it countless times, and yet it still works every time I hear it. I really love the presence of the horns. "You know wine and women is all I crave/A big-legged woman going to carry me to my grave/Born under a bad sign/I've been down since I began to crawl."
There is an alternate take of "Born Under A Bad Sign" included in the bonus tracks. In this one, he reverses the order of a couple of lines, so the rhyme doesn't work: "I can't write/I can't even read/My whole life has been one big fight." He changes or adds a word here and there, like in the line, "carry me straight to my grave." "Born Under A Bad Sign" was written by Booker T. Jones and William Bell, and was written specifically for Albert King.
"Crosscut Saw" is such a cool tune, mixing blues vocals with a funky soul hook. Those notes he lets hang in the air really make me love this song. They're so bloody delicious. The bonus tracks include an alternate take of this tune, a longer version. "Crosscut Saw" was written by R.G. Ford.
"Kansas City" is a song that has always worked for me, no matter who is covering it. But Albert King's rendition is definitely a stand-out. He states things so simply, and in such a straightforward manner in the vocals. So when he sings, "Well, I may take a plane/I may take a train/But if I have to walk I'm going just the same," you know he's telling you the truth. (By the way, the second time through he sings, "Well, I might take a plane/I might take a train.") The horns add a certain fun element. And I love the bass line.
"Down Don't Bother Me" is a track written by Albert King. It opens with the line, "I've been down so long, you know down don't bother me." The subject is typical blues stuff – a woman who doesn't treat him right – but Albert King totally owns it. He sings, "I bought you a fur coat for Christmas and a diamond ring/Now you've got the nerve to tell me that my love don't mean a thing." (Of course, the line about buying someone a fur coat for Christmas and a diamond ring was also in "Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You.") But he ends the song with the more positive line, "I'm gonna take all my troubles, and cast them in the deep blue sea." (Though part of me wonders if he means to drown the woman.)
"The Hunter" has an intense, driving rhythm, which fits so perfectly with his smooth vocal delivery. And somehow when he says "love gun," it's not at all silly. He makes it work. I love those high notes on his guitar over that great groove. An alternate take is included in the bonus tracks – where you can hear the song counted off. "The Hunter" was written by Booker T. Jones, Carl Wells, Al Jackson Jr., Donald Dunn and Steve Cropper.
"I Almost Lost My Mind" is wonderful, and quite a bit different from the other tunes. Check out his vocal performance – it's sweet and gentle, and completely moving. This is a beautiful song, and has some very nice stuff on piano too. "I Almost Lost My Mind" was written by Ivory Joe Hunter.
I love how "Personal Manager" allows itself to get nice and quiet at moments. While Albert King sings, "If you sign my contract, baby, you know all of your worries is over for you" he's not overselling himself. He's so smooth and sincere that you imagine the woman signing herself over immediately. And once she's done so, around the song's two-minute mark, then the band just plays. And man, do they play, with the guitar and the horns blending well. And then King keeps it going with a perfect solo. An alternate take of this song is included in the bonus tracks. "Personal Manager" was written by Albert King and David Porter.
The most surprising song on the record is a fantastic version of "The Very Thought Of You," written by Ray Noble. Again, we get to see what Albert King can do vocally. What a tremendous talent. This is a beautiful rendition. This song has some great work on horns, particularly Andrew Love on saxophone.
This re-issue concludes with the untitled instrumental track. This features a great simple groove with some excellent work on guitar, and some playful, fun stuff on horns. There are a couple of surprising (and seriously cool) moments. I totally dig this track.

Tips for Long-Distance Caregiving
If your parent(s) or grandparent(s) live far away from you, it might be hard as you get older to feel you are truly there for them in the way they need you. Here are a few tips and thoughts and being a long-distance caregiver.
Define your role. If you have siblings, then you probably all split up the responsibility of taking care of your parents. It's quite possible, though, that if you live farther away you feel either left out or like you're not doing enough. Make sure to check in with your siblings (or whatever support system you have) so you can know what's needed of you.
It's important to make sure you have a clear role when it comes to the care of loved ones, which leads us to our second point: Communication. If you're not the only person being relied on, then you shouldn't feel overly burdened. Make sure that you all work together to be a support system for your mutual loved one. Figure out the role of each person, and if anyone is having a hard time keeping up their end, talk it out calmly so you can figure out the best solution.
Communication will also help you be aware of any changes in your loved one's health. It'll help you be prepared if it's time to start looking into senior living. It'll help you know if your load is about to get heavier.
Technology will be a very important tool for long-distance care-giving. It'll help you be an emotional support even when you're not around. It'll help you stay in touch and stay in the loop with both your parent and your siblings. Again, communication is key in order to keep everyone's load as manageable as possible and to prevent any possible disagreements.
Plan regular visits. Even if you live several hours away, try to visit from time to time. There is no right amount of visit per year. Figure out what works best for you based on your schedule and your relationship with your loved one. If you can make an appearance even once every few months, this might help reassure your loved one that you really do care and miss him or her. Being physically present at least once in a while is helpful.
Overall, it's important that you let go of any guilt that you have. You're doing the best you can under the circumstances. Maybe you wish you lived closer or could travel more often to spend time with your loved one. Maybe at some point the opportunity will present itself. For now, though, just remember that you're doing your best.

One lucky franchise wins Chem-Dry's first pink cleaning system
Customers in the Palm Desert area should keep their eyes out for a pink Chem-Dry PowerHead and PowerBase coming to clean their homes. Tim Goeler and Justine Jensen, owners of Integrity Chem-Dry in Moreno Valley, recently won this pink cleaning system from a drawing during the national Chem-Dry convention in Newport Beach, California. All proceeds from the ticket sales were donated to breast cancer awareness and research.
When his franchise was announced as the winner, Goeler said, he was really excited. "It was great because I was just thinking that if we won, we could do something special to raise more money for breast cancer awareness," he said. "I think it's meant to be so we can use the pink PowerHead to do some good."
Goeler has big plans for Integrity Chem-Dry and said he wants to launch a special program during breast cancer awareness month in October. He is considering making a special donation for every home cleaned by the pink Powerhead. He also plans to sell Chem-Dry's new Pink World Famous Spot Remover to customers. For every can, $1 has been donated to breast cancer research and awareness. Goeler said he hopes customers will purchase the pink cans because "it's good for your carpets and makes a positive impact on the world."
Raising money for cancer research is a meaningful contribution for Goeler. He said his great grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and it eventually spread throughout her whole body. Watching a loved one suffer from cancer is one of the most difficult things in life. Goeler said many of his customers are going through or have gone through this painful experience and it is devastating. But he is happy that Chem-Dry has chosen to fundraise for breast cancer awareness because it is a great way to bring recognition to the cause.
Ed Quinlan, Chem-Dry's director of marketing is very passionate about Chem-Dry's $25,000 commitment. He said, "Everyone has been touched by cancer in some way. Chem-Dry knows how devastating it can be to find out your mother, sister or friend has breast cancer. We decided it was time to step up and join the fight. Franchise owners are encouraged to participate in fundraising for breast cancer and customers are invited to make a donation at the time of their carpet cleaning. We know that every little bit makes a difference."
Chem-Dry is the world's largest carpet, tile and upholstery cleaning company with more than 4,000 franchises in 45 countries. For more information about Chem-Dry products and services in Moreno Valley and the Palm Desert area, visit www.IntegrityChemDry.com or to schedule a carpet cleaning appointment, call 1-888-224-0026.

Itchy Scalp on the Back of the Head
An itchy scalp that affects the back of your head and leaves you with thick scales of skin can be embarrassing and annoying. Before you dismiss your itchy scalp as something as simple as dandruff, a trip to the doctor may be in order. Certain scalp conditions need to be treated via ointments and prescription cleansers to help relieve the itch and foster a healthier, more moisturized scalp.
No matter what type of skin condition you ultimately suffer with, all have the same symptoms. An itchy scalp and large flakes of skin are the calling cards for most scalp conditions. You may also notice redness and a rash if you're able to see the scalp. Excess oil may also be a problem that accompanies itchy scalp conditions.
Three types of skin conditions are typically the causes of an itchy scalp. Scalp psoriasis is exhibited by patchy skin that can bleed when removed and can affect other parts of the body and head, notes MayoClinic.com. Seborrheic dermatitis affects the scalp and is usually exacerbated by certain products, resulting in itchy, flaky skin that sloughs away easily. Finally, dandruff is a common and chronic condition where dry skin flakes off into the hair. Only your doctor can diagnose your itchy scalp condition, so it's important to seek medical help when necessary.
If you're prone to an itchy scalp or any of the above three conditions, prevention is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get rid of your itchy scalp and soothe your head. Certain products that contain clarifying detergents can dry the scalp and cause itchiness. Using hot water can also deplete scalp moisture, notes the Beauty Brains website, and exacerbate your itchy scalp. Wash your hair less, if possible, using moisturizing shampoos and conditioners in lukewarm water.
At times, prevention isn't enough to keep the itchy skin on the back of your head from bothering you. In these cases, a dandruff or medicated shampoo can help condition the scalp for better hydration and dissolution of dead skin cells. Your doctor can prescribe various ointments that contain ingredients like resorcin, ketoconazole or selenium to apply directly to the scalp for healing and prevention as well, notes Medline Plus.
Medical Care
While an itchy scalp on the back of the head can be an embarrassing and uncomfortable condition, it's important that you see your doctor if your symptoms worsen or you're scratching so much that your scalp is bleeding. Your doctor can diagnose your skin condition and prescribe treatments and lifestyle changes to make in order to improve the condition and your quality of life.

Coach Robert Youngblood sat down with his team captains prior to the tri-meet at Churchill that would decide the Division II Championship. They needed to devise a plan that would win them the crown once and for all. The trio analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of their competition. The dilemma? How do you beat one team that is strong in sprints and another team that is strong in distance in the same meet? The answer? Overpower in the distance while dominating the hurdles and field.
Knowing of Watkins Mill's power in the sprints, Youngblood said, "We'll give 'em that." As it turned out, the Watkins Mill boys are as good as advertised. Running directly into the wind, they swept the top 3 in the 100 and 200-meter races while winning the 4x100 and 4x200-meter races. Watkins Mill coach Kevin Watson said, "The performances were there. We have to wait and see."
Instead of placing star sprinter Jamal Currica in any short sprints, Youngblood asked him to compete in all three jumps. The result was 15 points for the Hornets.
Sam Weeks piled on the points for Damascus by winning the 110 and 300-meter hurdles.
Knowing that Churchill was a worthy competitor in the distance events, Damascus's only option was to try to overpower them. Thanks to Wil Zahorodny, the Hornets grabbed 15 more points from the 400, 800, and 1600-meter races. Churchill was, however, able to make up serious ground in these events as well. Both teams pulled away from Watkins Mill after completion of the 3200 and 800.
The rain and wind picked up as the athletes lined up on the track for the 4x4. Watkins Mill's hopes of sweeping the sprint relays faded as Jamal Currica of Damascus bolted way out in front of the other competitors. Damascus sat on a comfortable lead for the rest of the race. Wil Zahorodny anchored the relay, earning 5 more points and the divisional title.
The Churchill girls did not need to devise a special plan to come away with the double victory. Coach Scott Silverstein simply asked his girls to go out and compete in their events. Audrey Gariepy-Bogui did her duties, securing victories in the 100-meter hurdles and all three jumps. Louise Hannallah, Erin McManus, Masha Berge and Maryam Fikri raked in the points from the distance events while Katie Wolf stepped up to the challenge of some of the top sprinters in the county. She first beat Zarena Sita of Damascus and Shayla Davis of Watkins Mill in the 400-meters convincingly in a time of 58.6. Later in the meet, she beat out the same two girls almost entirely into the wind with a time of 26.3.
Jacquelyn Adcock of Damascus won the shot put and the discus (again, into the wind), while Chelsea Reinks scored a victory in the 300-meter hurdles and placed 2nd to Gariepy-Bogui in the triple and high jumps. Their efforts led the team to a victory over Watkins Mill, but fell short of the division crown with a loss to Churchill.

Here's some good journalism from The Atlantic that shines light on a little-known massacre that occurred in Uzbekistan back in 2005. James Kirchik notes that Donald Rumsfeld's memoir defends the actions of the authoritarian, U.S.-allied government:
Rumsfeld's account of the tragedy at Andijon is jarringly different from what most international observers say happened. "It appeared that the goal of the assault was to release members of an Islamic extremist group accused of seeking to establish an Islamic state, a caliphate, in eastern Uzbekistan," Rumsfeld writes of the prison break. And of the massacre: "This was not a simple case of soldiers slaughtering innocents, as had been widely alleged and misreported." His version is at odds with that of seemingly everyone: human rights groups, international media, eyewitnesses, U.S. intelligence, even the State Department. Everyone, that is, except the Karimov regime.
Information provided by Rumsfeld himself contradicts his own narrative. According to a memo prepared by the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, helpfully posted on Rumsfeld's website and even cited in the text of his memoir, "The popular perception was that these businessmen were upstanding community members — not Islamic extremists." Unable to assess the regime's "evidence" allegedly connecting the businessmen to insurrection, the memo's author, DIA Director L.E. Jacoby, concluded that the thousands of protestors who had gathered to demand their release were provoked by legitimate grievances against a corrupt and abusive regime, not a desire to impose an Islamic caliphate.
Good research — finding the actual memo that disagrees with Rumseld's narrative. Even better, the reporter links to the document itself. Linking to original sources is a great journalistic practice, what some call the "ethic of the link." An embedded hyperlink essentially says to a reader — here are the facts, but you can click on this link and see it for yourself. This type of networked journalism helps build credibility with the audience.
Glad to see this type of reporting in The Atlantic and would like to see it embraced in more outlets.

Today, tax is often front page news, and the conversation about who should pay what has become a public and political conversation. It is not surprising therefore to see tax rise on the agenda this year at WEF.
At the heart of any conversation around Responsible Tax are two critical topics: avoidance and evasion. The movement towards transparency in tax is a partial solution to both, but we should consider both in their own right. When we look at evasion, transparency is about identifying assets and income within the financial system. The last few years have brought a great deal of progress in ending banking secrecy with the adoption of the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and a few other key factors. Previously, financial Institutions built their businesses on traditional models based on confidentiality whereas there is now a refreshed focus on customer service, especially around disclosure reporting and compliance. Technology is a key enabler in achieving transparency, not just in relation to offshore accounts but also routine evasion that occurs in the regular economy. This is where some of the developing countries will leapfrog the old economy by moving towards these technology solutions. On the flipside, the use of technology for the purposes of evasion needs to be continually assessed as we now see evaders move towards crypto-currencies where the use of regular funding methods is becoming more heavily scrutinised.
The other side of the debate is Tax avoidance. Tax avoidance deals more specifically with activities that are legal but not wanted and where the application of laws were not the intention of the legislation. This is where transparency serves a different purpose. It can allow tax authorities easier access to the information they need to assess business activity and individual's personal wealth, enabling governments to adjust laws when they are not obtaining the intended results.
This raises two key considerations. Firstly, the mere exchanging of data cannot be the sole answer. Risk assessment tools such as Country by Country reporting have been put in place for tax authorities to obtain and exchange information with each other but they do not provide a complete solution. Secondly, should this information be made public? The evidence we have so far leads me to conclude that the answer to this is no. Where this information has been made public, it has occasionally been misunderstood. The underlying tax position can be extremely complex, and is not fully understandable when reported in simple black and white terms. However, stakeholders have a legitimate expectation to understand the tax position of appropriate businesses. It is therefore incumbent on businesses to disclose information in a format that all stakeholders can understand.

Women comprise more than one third of the active physician workforce, an estimated 46% of all physicians-in-training, and more than half of all medical students in the United States. Although progress has been made toward gender diversity in the physician workforce, disparities in compensation exist and inequities have contributed to a disproportionately low number of female physicians achieving academic advancement and serving in leadership positions. Women in medicine face other challenges, including a lack of mentors, discrimination, gender bias, cultural environment of the workplace, imposter syndrome, and the need for better work–life integration. In this position paper, the American College of Physicians summarizes the unique challenges female physicians face over the course of their careers and provides recommendations to improve gender equity and ensure that the full potential of female physicians is realized.

Gender Equity. Where do the Issues Remain?
I read the article by Butkus, et. al., with great interest. As a medical group administrator (medical director, CEO, CMO) for over 20 years, the generic statement about male providers making more than women providers seemed to be uninformed hyperbole. In my last four positions, physician compensation has been largely (about 90%) based on productivity with a consistent dollar value per work RVU for each specialty. These dollar per work RVU values have been based on large annual surveys (MGMA, AMGA, ECG, Sullivan Cotter Large Group). In our organizations, there has been no way to financially disadvantage women physicians relative to men for the same work in the same specialty, particularly given that the physicians have been payer agnostic and were not at risk for payer mix or collections. The primary reference cited regarding the disparity in incomes was the "Medscape Physician Compensation Report 2017."1 Reviewing slide 13, it indicates precisely what was reported regarding male versus women primary care physicians. However, what it fails to indicate is the sample size for each cohort and what proportion of each specialty was within each cohort. If there were more women pediatricians (often the case) and more male internists, this could account for the difference. Slide 13 also doesn't indicate whether there were more women working part-time (often the case) compared to men in the sample. These same issues exist for slide 14 related to men versus women specialists. This makes interpretation of the "study" (a 43-slide deck with no source data) virtually impossible. The authors cite an article by Jena, et. al. which fails to take into account significant skew to the left with outliers in compensation and reports on mean incomes as their measure of central tendency, when it seems that median values would have been far more appropriate.2 What may be more important in academic settings in not the difference in salary, per se, but the differences in opportunities for advancement and leadership available to women, leading to those salary differences.3 This position paper is rife with confirmation bias in interpreting the cited, and sometimes questionable, sources. I believe in gender equity. This position paper should be rewritten with more objectivity, particularly as it relates to potential income disparities, to find out where the problems truly persist. 1. = citation 3 in their article2. = citation 4 in their article3. = citation 5 in their article

Author's Response
Although progress has been made toward gender diversity in the physician workforce, disparities in compensation persist. Numerous studies, looking at gender pay disparities from different perspectives, have contributed additional evidence that the gender pay gap in medicine is indeed persistent and real. (References 1,2 and 3) Dr. Ertle highlights that there are practices where "pay for productivity" predominates and this has, where applied fairly, helped level the playing field for compensation across genders. RVU based systems, however, do not eliminate gender pay disparities. Linzer et al highlight that patients have differing expectations of female versus male physicians. (Reference 4) Our paper, also emphasizes that even in pure work RVU (wRVU) systems, much of the important work of women physicians is undervalued as they spend more time counseling patients, providing preventive care, and performing office-based GYN procedures, which tend to have lower reimbursement and lower wRVU relative to the time invested. Where compensation systems are not predominately wRVU based, base compensation and compensation growth are often lower for female physicians relative to male. For numerous complicated reasons, women have a lack of advancement and leadership opportunities, which additionally contributes to the pay differential. It is unclear why but women are also less successful than men in renewing R01 grants from the National Institutes of Health (Reference 5) The medical profession and our patients benefit greatly from a diverse physician workforce. The evidence demonstrates that the problem does truly exist and the paper was written to help move the discussion to solutions. Rather than arguing about the validity of the evidence, a concerted effort must be made to eliminate the imbalance in compensation and career advancement opportunities and provide a more inclusive environment to realize the full potential of all physicians in the workforce.

Shoes called gillies are worn by women for traditional Scottish dancing. They are low cut slippers similar to ballet slippers but with added laces that give them their signature look. The open areas of the shoe let the specially-woven "poodle socks" peep through and thus draw attention to the dancers' feet as they leap through complex patterns. While many dancers tie the laces around the arch of the foot, shoemaker and dancer Craig Coussins recommends an alternate tying method that does not risk damaging the arch.
Thread the laces through the bottom set of eyelets and lace as you would a sneaker, crossing the laces over to form an "X" between each pair of eyelets until you reach the top of the shoe. Tighten the laces so that there is no slack or big loop between eyelets.
Cross the laces in front of the ankle.
Thread the laces through the second eyelet on the side of the shoe on both sides.
Highland dancers compete at a festival
Thread the laces through the back loop on the heel of the shoe. Hold the laces together and pull them upward to make the shoe snug.
Thread the laces through the first eyelets on the side of the shoe. The lace will go out through the eyelet from the inside of the shoe.
Pull the laces tight, creating a sung fit around the heel and arch. Tie the laces in a knot on the front or side and tuck the laces in where they won't rub your foot when you dance.

As a way of keeping on top of our project and in order to communicate effectively as a group, we joined the Google+ group chat. On the chat, we could post our designs, comments, and more so that we could be proactive with our tasks and keep in touch with everyone.
I found it helpful, as we could each support each other and help each other out with things more effectively. It was also a way to not leave anyone out, knowing that everyone will get the message if they regularly checked the Google+.
If the matter was small and unimportant in the long run, we would use a group chat on Twitter, as this meant it was quick and easy for us to reply to one another.
Because we had multiple platforms to contact each other on, communication was not a problem. The main platform was obviously the Google+ chat, but because we are also friends, we could use Twitter and text messages to keep on top of everything.

GAME Over For GAME?
The future of UK's leading games retailer GAME may be well and truly on it's way to pulling the plug completely on the business. Last week we reported things went from bad to worse for the video game retailer, when it was revealed that the UK chain store encountered problems when when it failed to strike video game supply agreements with the video games publishers. GAME stock 610 stores and employs 5,800 staff throughout the UK, but dealt a crippling blow last week to gamers surrounding it's future.
In a recent news article at The Express online website, a source close to the situation said
"There is a real risk that Game's directors will pull the plug because they can't be sure that the company can survive through the next trading season, and then insolvency becomes inevitable"
Nick Hood of Company Watch, the corporate health monitoring specialist said "They are in discussions with their legal advisers about whether to shut up shop rather than rack up more losses."
"The immediate response from RBS will be to push for more store closures, but the tipping point for the directors and the lending banks will come when the stores don't have products to sell," said an industry source.
"This could happen if more suppliers follow suit."
Via The Express
Kropotkin Said,
This is a very sad turn of events for GAME. As much as we love to hurl abuse at them within the video game fraternity, they do a lot for the industry in terms of presence on the High St. If they are considering the ultimate act of pulling the proverbial plug, it would a lot of harm with regards to the perception of the video game industry. Don't forget that they own GAME and Game Station stores, so their closure would be very much felt.
GG Goblin Said,
Indeed. As they have managed to force the majority of independent video game stores out of business, actually browsing for a new game will be limited to the big sellers that the supermarkets stock. That would be a real shame.

monkdiscuss vroom Lots of issues pop up in the monastery and are generally sorted out by all of you in discussions. This makes for a lot of implicit rules and mores to govern behavior in the monastery.
 These implicit rules however are stored through out node history and sometimes only in the minds of monks if the issue was discussed in the Chatterbox.
 What I would like to see is all of you helping me to distinguish areas where behavior and a code of conduct needs to be established. Then you can all hash out what you think about the issues.
 Once a group consensus on these issues exists we can author a single document which explicitly lists expectations of people when in the monastery. Then if the rules are broken we can point the violator to a single document which has been approved by the community as a whole.
Thoughts or opinions on the matter? That's exactly what the space below is for.

So far, we have:
-Decided the type of diet we are going to follow and are following it;
-Set up an exercise plan that involves some form of exercise EVERY SINGLE DAY!
-Made our goals, visualized them and placed them somewhere where they can serve as daily reminders.
Now we are raring to go and we are at the start line...in squatting position. The gun goes off…and we're off!!....AND……..we hit a false start! Something makes us stumble and we have to return to the starting block.
Unfortunately, this scene seems to keep getting repeated again and again and we feel like we are stuck in a Groundhog Day.
What is happening to cause this? The number one culprit is usually emotion. We experience a bad moment and that relates into comforting ourselves with foods we know are bad for us but will give us a temporary relief from our mood. We share in a celebration and feel obliged to join in the festivities, which mean partaking of the rich foods being served.
The only way to stop this is to become a conscious eater. We need to become aware of
we are eating (Are you eating only junk food? Are you eating unlimited amounts?)
we are eating (Are you experiencing a negative emotion? Are you eating because you are in a fancy restaurant and don't want to just be eating boring salad? Are you eating because you don't want to appear to be on a diet in front of all your friends at a party?)
we are eating (Just eating out of a family size bag of chips/crisps? Do you sit in front of a TV subconsciously eating whilst engaged in watching TV?)
we are eating (Do you eat when you are upset, bored or just because you saw some food lying around? Do you eat when your children don't finish their meals because you hate wasting food?)
The number two problem for people ending up constantly restarting their diets?
Not organizing themselves better. Are you surrounding yourself with ample opportunity to cheat by having lots of junk food around? Do you find yourself constantly skipping exercise though you always intend to? You need to analyze
For example, one problem I faced was that I had decided to exercise 1 hour every day, but I kept struggling to find a 1 hour timeslot during the day and ended up missing exercise daily. With a 2 year old, I realized that getting in 15 minutes was still good and much better than doing NO EXERCISE the whole day. Some studies have shown that three 20 minute sessions a day are actually more effective in losing weight than a single 1 hour session.
Making a routine out of your new lifestyle is the most ideal way to live, but when you have hurdles preventing you, you have to learn to either remove them or learn how to get around them. If you don't, you will end up forever stuck on the starting line.
ASSIGNMENT: So the homework for this week is to answer the questions:
, (When you deviate from your dieting, what do you eat?)
(What makes you deviate)
(When you eat, how much do you eat)
do you emotionally eat?
Remember this is not about your normal dieting habits, all these questions are about when you stray.
Once you figure out these questions, think about solutions to the problems.
If you can't think of a solution, post the problem on the boards and see if any of the other team members can advise you, or if you wish to discuss this privately, talk to your buddy. Hopefully, by becoming more aware of your problems, you can learn how to deal with them better and reduce the obstacles preventing you from successful dieting.
BUDDY CHALLENGE: You must make a commitment to immediately giving up at least one thing that is currently an obstacle. Talk this over with your buddy and discuss why you have chosen what you have and how you feel about it. Remember, writing things down can actually help reaffirm your intentions, so pour your heart out!

WHAT- If I deviate from my diet, it's usually Taco Bells Bean Chalupa (A soft fried taco filled with beans and salad plus sour cream) or Bean Burrito.
Prior to my dieting, I was a sweet addict but oddly enough I seem to crave more salty things. Recently I bought both pizza and chalupas but the pizza just didn't attract me. So maybe there is something in refried beans that I crave. Recently, I have been off the bandwagon and eating whatever I find in the house.
Solution: After having thought about it, I normally have Chalupa in my home when there is nothing cooked or the kid's just want to eat out for a change. So I guess I should try to be more organized so that there is always something cooked. And when the children want to eat out, I should try and eat before the food arrive or promise to at least eat a salad before touching a chalupa (In the hope that I will be full after a salad and eat none or much less!)
WHY-There are two reasons for me to deviate from my diet. The first reason is when we eat out. I have to admit that when I go to a restaurant, eating only salad is not pleasurable. I also don't normally eat meat/chicken in outside establishments so the menu gets limited even further. I tend to then just get fries or high carb dishes like pasta.
The second reason is because my grocery supplies are not regularly stocked. Having one car which my hubby almost exclusively has in use means I can't restock foods regularly. And dieting staples are usually perishable goods so I can't stock up on such items.
Solution: If I am honest with myself, the most practical solution to the eating out problem is to get past my issue with not enjoying eating salad while everyone is tucking into hearty dishes.
The second problem with the one car is something I have limited control over and is very frustrating to me. The solution is to get a second car which I am hoping will happen in the next month or so (perhaps even by the end of this month!!)
HOW MUCH-Whenever I indulge I eat till I bulge! I tend to eat cheat with food that I enjoy and when I do I eat till I am stuffed. Even if it is something healthy like nuts or cherries, it is really hard to take just a few. Luckily, I don't crave chips/crisp otherwise I could probably down at least half a family size bag in one sitting! My cheating is usually done on the go, meaning as I come in and out of the kitchen, I will pick up things I see around me. Also, I like to have a nice cup of tea while watching TV and I do like something sweet with it. Since I don't eat cookies any more, I tend to pick up a protein bar or something.
Solution: Well for nuts and such items, I could place whatever I want to eat in a small plastic cup and that way I control the portion. Eating out of a bag doesn't give a person a realistic idea of how much they are consuming.
Again, if it is a meal, then I can control how much I am eating by eating something healthy like a salad or soup first.
I don't know what I can replace cookies with for my tea that is diet friendly.
Any suggestions?
WHEN-Well I am not really an emotional person so I normally don't eat when I am upset. Looking back at my recent cheats, I know that I eat when I am outside of my controlled home environment or when I am think that I will be away from home for a long period of time(e.g doctors appointment) and may get jittery. As I have fainted in the past from not eating regularly, I will maybe take a non Atkin friendly snack bar or something else to sustain me.
Solution: I did buy some low carb snack bars but they have sugar alcohol which I have heard is not good. I could eat before going to the doctor's office but if I am running behind schedule then what?
I would like some advice on this problem please!
ORGANIZING-I have a two year old and so it is very hard to exercise at a regular time. I normally wait for his nap before attempting even half an hour. That can mean not getting in as much exercise or as regular as I would like. On the dieting front, I am a little helpless about organizing because again it is dependent on me having a car.(I don't like to ask anyone to help out because I am new to the town and not close enough to hitch a lift)
Solution: My solution is to go to a gym where I know I will be able to exercise in peace. With the kids on summer break, they can babysit him while I get out. If I try to exercise at home, they refuse to watch him while I am around.
Organizing my groceries would be the best solution but that can only happen when I get my own car.

sharon, first, you'd need to convert your powerpoint file to jpeg. So, in powerpoint, save it as a "jpeg interchange format" under the tab "save as". Next, you'd need to go to photobucket.com, register there, upload your jpeg file. Once uploaded, you'll see number of different names/extensions for that picture--pick the one that says "code", and copy that code, and paste it here. Hope that helped. Send me a mail directly, so send me your powerpoint file and I'll do it for ya.

WHAT, (When you deviate from your dieting, what do you eat?)
If I'm just having a slightly bad day, it'll be Domino's pizza and wine, or else if it's a total meltdown, it'll be anything and everything I can lay my hands on!
Solution: I have scheduled monthly pizza nights to keep the pizza cravings under control. Having only healthy food in the house limits the damage in the event of a total meltdown.
WHY (What makes you deviate)
Having a stressful day at work, hubby being away and feeling bored, running out of healthy food...
Solution: I plan my menus a week at a time a week in advance and order all my groceries for delivery at the start of the week, so I always have something planned and all the ingredients to make it.
HOW (When you eat, how much do you eat)
Until bursting point or all the the cupboards are bare!
Solution: Order small pizza and as above, keep only healthy food in the house - there are only so rice cakes you can eat in one go!!
AND WHEN do you emotionally eat?
Always in the evenings. I'm rarely "bad" during the day - if it's going to go wrong, it'll be after 6pm.
Solution: Eat sustaining, healthy snacks during the afternoon to ensure I'm not starving by the early evening.

Well here it is.... my...
WHAT, (When you deviate from your dieting, what do you eat?) Hmmm (or what DON'T i eat when i deviate)
I guess when i deviate i eat foods that i think "normal" people can eat without any problems:
Potato Chips/Candy/Croissants/Jelly Doughnuts/Full fat sauces on Pasta and "regular portions"/ pan fried foods/wine/appetizers/cheese etc./ desserts/
WHY (What makes you deviate): I don't want to feel restricted/ i want to feel "normal"/ I want to reward myself/ I want to comfort/console myself/ I want to relax and indulge.
HOW (When you eat, how much do you eat) During the week i am pretty controlled but by friday night i am ready to let loose. During the week my weakest moments are at that "snack time/happy hour" time somewhere between 3-6. Either sweet snacks with my kids or a pre dinner salty snack. It's not that i binge ever, but what i eat is usually not very filling and is calorie packed and i usually eat out of the container making it harder to portion control. And every night around 9:00pm i have a skinny cow.
On weekends i have breakfast in bed (7:30 am) alone usually with the paper or a movie (hubby golfs early in the am and kids sleep in so i am alone) Usually i "splurge" with a croissant or something sweet but i try to keep it within my points. On the weekends i don't work out and i eat more "loosely" so i know that that isn't helping me. I always want a "dessert" at the end of a meal.
AND WHEN do you emotionally eat? I think that the emotions that "trigger" me are sadness, anger, frustration which are a result of me being upset with myself. I also eat to reward myself, like a pat on the back for being "good".
SO, how do i "fix" my eating problems.
1) I think that i should realize that even though i can never eat the way i'd like to, i can eat anything i want as long as i am careful with portions and am accountable for points. In this way i could be "normal" and not self-conscious in front of others. The real trick for me is to plan ahead so that i don't go on a tear and then can't backtrack.
2) I can indulge and treat myself but again,i need to plan menus so that i can select from set things i like and correct portions so as not to deviate.
3) i should keep prepared snacks to choose from so i can reach for those
Hmmmmm giving up something???? I have to think about what i'd give up, it seems i'm always giving things up! i'm willing to take suggestions!
It's late so i'm signing off.
This was a great assignment!
Thanks CL!!! You are a great motivator!

Thanks Princess for that vote of confidence. I was beginning to worry that this challenge was either too hard and too boring for anyone to respond to!
Giving this exercise the attention it deserved required a quiet house so that ment a late night when all were a sleep- with many spelling errors.....
1. WHAT, (When you deviate from your dieting, what do you eat?)
I will eat chips, ice cream or chocolate.
2. WHY (What makes you deviate)
When I am feeling overwhelmed with a task, when I have self-defeating thoughts, when I am angry and don't find a healthy outlet for my anger...
When I am exeperiancing an emotion that I am trying to ignore or not sure how to get back to calm; I needed to focus on that emotion...Be in that emotion. I will call a friend, write in a journal, remind myself it is OK to feel emotions...
3. HOW (When you eat, how much do you eat)
I will eat past a healthy portion. I can hear my mind saying stop there is a better way to deal with the emotion, but I continue eating and shutting out the voice.
I will decide there is no choice to be made when it comes to dealing with my emotions. I can not solve or understand my situation/emotion better by eating. I need to BE with myself, trusting the natural flow of emotions they are apart of being human. My reaction to my emotions however is a learned behavoir and can be changed.
4. AND WHEN do you emotionally eat?
After having an argument, I will eat to forget what just happened. When I am up against a deadline and feeling the end to be to far away, I will eat to calm myself. When I am sad.
Take care of my mind, body and spirit daily. To me this means eating healthy foods, exercise, meditate, ask for support/give support, self-care, and living in today. Remember to
when I am
onely or
ired. If I am feeling any of those I need to proceed with caution and awareness.
So I looked up the meaning of "Disorganizing" -
to throw into confusion, to upset the orderly system or arrangement of.
With that in mind, my orderly system of my healthy lifestyle change is upset or intransition when I travel and/or the children are out of school. I tend to eat a bit more mindlessly and exercise is at a minimum-pilates and walks, cardio usually doesn't come into the picture.
I can understand if I am undergoing a lifestyle change and not just a diet that lasts until I reach my goal weight...I will have times when Walking and pilates will be it for the exercise. Coming to this understanding is why I feel successful this time with my weight loss. Last month I was traveling or out of my usual routine 2 weeks, In the past when I would return home after vacation I would have given up with my "diet" and not looked back. Today, I am ready to be realistic and get back to making appointments with myself to consciously eat and exercise my body daily.
My weight loss journey has been equal to if not more about giving myself love and respect; than about food and exercise. I am creaing new habits with: food, exercise and emotional responses....it has been truly an up-lifting experience.
Thank you

Thanks Today for really thinking this over. It proves that you really do want to become more aware of yourself and your behaviors. (I was hoping that the delay in posting was because everyone was in deep contemplation-I guess they are!)
By the way, I love the HALT acronym..I have a book that I note down all the inspirational points I find invaluable and that will be going in there. Thank you for sharing that. (I am sure there will be a lot of others who will be noting that down too!)

It is a tough challenge, but it's mostly that it will take some time to do. So, here goes:
1.WHAT, Well, I'm a major sweet addict, so it's generally chocolate of some sort or like cookies or twinkies. The other major deviations are KFC and Chinese (but only the one restaurant 45 min. away so that's not often!)
2.WHY Generally stress for the sweet stuff. If I'm feeling out of control in any way I reach for the bag of cookies. I don't know if the underlying thought is "I'm choosing to eat this and so am at least in control of the cookies" or "I'm out of control anyway so I can at least enjoy the sugar high and yumminess".
3.HOW To the max, simple as that. When I'm about to burst I'll only have a few more. No stopping till they're gone.
4.WHEN do you emotionally eat? When I'm emotional
Stress at work, worry over family or health, fighting with Steve, or just feeling out of sorts and not where I want to be. I've always had problems with depression.
5.HOW ARE YOU DISORGANIZING YOUR DIET AND EXERCISE ROUTINE? I'm a highly emotional person, but I need to be in control and organized in all the areas of my life except food. It's almost like it's the one area that I let my hair down, and it's the one that I shouldn't!!!
Solutions: Deal with my depression and anxiety. The last 2 years have been extremely overwhelming, and I can honestly say that I don't think I've dealt with most of it yet. I need to look for coping methods.
Try to find another area of my life to be free and uncontrolled so I don't need to rely on food to do it. (already gave up narcotics, smoking, and alcohol (other than about twice a year) so what else is there???)

stmueller, Well done on giving up on the biggest vices hindering your health. You are obviously quite focused on your issues.
You dont have to give up much, it could be as simple as eating out one time less per week than you normally do.
You could give up buying cookies for the house. That way you avoid wanting to eat them.(I just wish someone could suggest a healthy alternative!)
You could give up aspartame based products.
You could give up worrying about small things that cause you to start eating in the first place.
These are just some ideas to get you started...I am sure you will find something AND if you cant think of anything, then give up worrying over what to give up!

HOW I DISORGANIZE MY diet - by Princessdropthelbs
I disorganize my diet by putting other people's needs and desires before my own "sacrificing" exercise time on the weekends or eating whatever is available to "make it easier" on other people -- in reality these are just excuses because if i was to voice my needs everyone would be fine with it.
I disorganize my diet by letting TOM derail me.
I disorganize my diet when i don't exercise because then i feel like it's a day off -- when instead on those days i should be extra vigilant about what i eat.
Solution: Be accountable for my decisions and make the effort to make the right choices.

THe third challenge is focus on our failings:1)what do you eat. Mine is cereal before I go to bed. I don't have any calories left but I am hungry and just the thought of going to bed hungry bothers me. Why do I deviate from my diet at this point? Because at night I refuse to count calories any more, so if I am hungry, I eat cereal which I feel is a good food. My cereal, Honey Bunches of Oats actually is like eating cookies and milk, it is so sweet. Not high in fat though so that is how I justify it. 3)At least I always measure just a half a cup of cereal and a half a cup of soy milk and a half a banana, but even those calories add up each night. 4)When? always at night after I gethungry again. My exercise will be to not eat cereal at night the rest of the week!

Week three challenge
WHAT am I eating?
Nibble at pretzels and sunflower seeds, fruit and Weight Watcher snacks mostly but it still adds up to too many points - also chocolate during "that time"
Solution - prebag portions, put rest away out of sight, go for a walk or exercise instead of nibbling - ok, I'll just have a little choc during that time!!!!
Tired - to stay awake
Stressed, need chocolate
Solution - take a walk or a nap if needed, have a small glass of choc milk
- it's handy, by the handful
Solution - only eat at the table with a plate, measure stuff out
In an evening or on a day off, with friends and family
Solution - do some scrapbooking, read a great book, make healthier choices out
WHERE? (ok, its not on the list but it is my main downfall!)
In the car
Solution - take popcorn or grapes
Disorganization - family occasions sometimes set me up for failure, we are big on traditions and family favorites. Even though we do occasionally have a raclette or fruit and veggie trays instead, it isn't often enough, even though we all want and need the change.
Buddy - I want to make a real effort for family occasions

Onto the third challenge. I have been thinking about this for days and finally have the time to type. These are such great questions!!!!
What do you eat when you deviate?? Easy for some but for me the honest answer is everything- It could be oreos, fries, chips, pasta, too many chicken thighs, chocolate anything...it doesn't get triggered by the serving of a certain food. I am not a snacker- it occurs at mealtime.
Why?? Well, this is tough to answer. I deviate because I shut my brain off sometimes and just get into the flavors and want more, or sometimes it's a celebration and I want to feel more or sometimes when my husband cooks for me I feel so loved and I eat more because I want that loving feeling- sometimes when my Mom prepares a meal same thing, and sometimes when I want to treat myself I don't get a pedicure I go to the grocery and buy a too big steak and eat it all.
When?? When I want to celebrate, when I'm stressed, when I want to feel special
How much?? Double portions, thirds, cleaning off kids plates..feeling beyond full and eating the last bite.
How do I disorganize?? I shut off my brain and eat without thinking, I grab bits of things I shouldn't have and pretend it doesn't matter it's just a bite...I spend time justifying indulgent unhealthy behavior and telling myself that it's not so bad.
Solution- the real deal down and dirty lifelong solution is going to come for me when I discover how to erase from my brain that food does not equal love, food does not equal fun, food does not make you feel better, food does not solve problems, food does not fix, calm, or do anything...food is calories, food can be healthy or unhealthy and ultimately good food is energy but it won't kiss me good night.
At the moment I am very focused on losing my most recent gain- I am eating til I feel satisfied I am taking smaller portions and I am hyper aware of my sticky fingers near the kids food. I am doing fine for today but it doesn't feel like something I can sustain. I am hoping that by losing my weight slowly and being here I will retrain my brain over time- these are 43 year old ideas about what food is...not so easy to fix.

1.WHAT, (When you deviate from your dieting, what do you eat?)
I don't have any one certain food that I run to when I go off my diet. I know more about what I don't eat than what I do. I'm not a big fast food eater. It would be safe to say I eat fast food only a few times a year.
Most of my eating is done at home. I like to cook and keep a pretty stocked pantry so I can whip something up at a moment's notice. But eating too much salad can still sabotage a diet so it isn't the actual food that seems to matter for me. That's quite a self-revelation. I never really examined that concept before.
I've been working at not restocking ingredients that have no purpose other than for making something not diet friendly. I've found some really great healthy recipes so I can indulge my love of cooking and not be hurting my efforts. I try to give favorite foods and recipes healthy makeovers so I can continue to enjoy them.
2.WHY (What makes you deviate)
A change in routine definitely throws me off track. Having my friend come visit this past week put me way off track. I planned to allow myself extra indulgences but I was surprised at how easy it was to slip back into old patterns.
Planning ahead is important but I also need to keep my mind in the game. I found I was easily distracted from my healthy journey while my friend was here. So planning alone is not enough. Maybe keeping reminders around (pictures, etc.) might help to jolt me back into reality and refocus my energy. Or ask hubby and friends to "police" me - make sure I see what I am doing when I go off track.
3.HOW (When you eat, how much do you eat)
When I indulge it is often coupled with a lack of control and I end up eating to the point of being uncomfortable. There have been times when I've eaten more even when I'm already uncomfortably full. My body is trying to tell me to stop and I ignore it.
I think this one will be tougher to solve because once I've delved into food, it is hard to stop. I have been learning about listening to my hunger cues. I know I need to keep that practice and make it a habit rather than something I do some of the time. Portioning helps in times where the eating isn't completely out of control. I need to at least try to pay attention to portion sizes in hopes that some sensible part of my brain will listen!
4.WHEN do you emotionally eat?
I don't THINK I am an emotional eater so much as a situational eater. I don't have to be upset or stressed to overeat. But certain situations definitely put me at risk. Like when my friend was here. Or being at a party. It's like seeing everyone else eating gives me permission to indulge, too.
I need to recognize my trigger situations before they happen so I can plan ahead. I can make sure to eat before I go to a party so I'm not letting hunger drag me into eating oblivion. I need to ask for help when I know my own resolve won't be strong enough to get me through.
I let changes in my daily schedule be excuses to eat the wrong food or to give up exercise.
I need to change the priority levels in my mind of what I allow myself to do. I can't let it be "ok" to stray from my plan without serious forethought and planning. And I need to set limitations when I allow myself to indulge. I need to find ways to make it easier to succeed.

Week 3 Challenge
WHAT: Take out. It is still one of the things I just can't get enough of. eg. KFC, McDonalds, Chinese, Japanese, Tim Hortons. I must admit I will eat the healthier snack food at home but I won't watch my portions
SOLUTION: Go for a walk or eat fruits or veggies. Portion out all snack foods.
WHY: Family events or my wife and I are not getting along. Or I know lately it has been because of the rain, it makes me depressed.
SOLUTION: Well most of my family is on fatsecret now, so we should be supporting each other instead of hindering. Use an exercise tape indoors if the weather is not permitting or join a gym with a friend.
HOW: I know that with take-out I will eat until I am stuffed plus I don't like leaving anything on my plate and my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Also need to fill the salt craving
SOLUTION: I need to just eat until I feel satiated. Learn to see proper portions as I get them.
WHEN: I like to snack when I am bored but also when there is some food just lying there
SOLUTION: I need to do some sort of physical activity to replace that craving like push ups or crunches or go for a bike ride.
DISORGANIZING DIET AND EXERCISE: I don't write down my points as I go so I am scrambling by supper to see if I have enough points. and I also do schedule in exercise time so I forget to do it all together.
SOLUTION: I must write down everthing that I eat to maintain order in my food journal and I must set a side a specific time to do some exercise like after work.

WHAT, (When you deviate from your dieting, what do you eat?)
I guess if I had to call anything "deviant", it would have to be things like chips (fries) and pizza… but my solution is to buy lover fat/calorie versions. I guess other things could be things like chocolate – but generally I would only have a fun size bag of maltesers. It's now very rare that I eat chocolate – so I do see this as a once in a while treat.
WHY (What makes you deviate)
Time of the month I've noticed sometimes that I seem to get munchie cravings… but I've found that eating more healthily most of the time this seems to have diminished. Avoiding things like cakes and biscuits or anything sweet, I've found is my solution to avoiding cravings for "bad" foods like that.
Eating out can be difficult… but if I can plan in advance I will eat low points before eating out, so that I can still go out and enjoy myself.
HOW (When you eat, how much do you eat)
In the past, if I craved something… I'd just munch away not really thinking about the consequences, but then feel so guilty afterwards. So my solution has been to focus on past feelings and consider – do I really want this? If I do then I will now only eat in moderation.
AND WHEN do you emotionally eat?
I do believe that there were triggers in the past that used to make me "emotionally eat". Things like stress, "time of the month", when my hubby worked away a lot were times when I used to reach for food, probably through boredom! But developing an awareness of these triggers has enabled me to avoid emotional eating.
How are you Disorganising your Diet and Exercise Routine?
Sometimes I can't be bothered to cook something I had previously planned… so that can be a bit of a problem. But I'm pretty good at planning my food using the diet calendar here at FS… so even if at the last minute I change what I'm going to eat, I still stick within points/calories that I intended.
I usually plan to do one of my DVD workouts when I come home from work… but can be lazy there sometimes. I use the Zelky Workout Tracker at Facebook to track my workouts and set myself goals of doing various exercise routines throughout the week. So maybe I should actually write myself a workout plan and stick with this and likewise with my food planning!

Great job everyone. Reading everyones posts gave me such insight into how we all seem to have similar problem but are also equally motivated to get rid of them! Thanks again to everyone who took the time to really ponder this over and gave so much precious time to this challenge.
I almost panicked when there was no response for the first day or so, but now I realize that it was only because you wonderful people were taking this challenge serious. The challenges are only as insightful as the people participating in them.
The next challenge is ready and posted;
Feel great challenge-Week 4
I want to say that the week 4 challenge is really long to read and even longer to do..BUT..this challenge was the key to changing my life 10 years ago and I hope you will get some motivation from it too. Good luck, and this time I dont expect a response until nearer to the end of next week!

Ignore that, thank you
People that are into social media use different gauges to see how well they are viewed by others. Klout is a good example of that.
I found Empire Avenue. Its a stock market type of simulation. But you invest in other people or brands on line. So the more active they are, the more money you get. Of course you want people to in invest in you.
That is where the game becomes a great way to find out how you are perceived on line. You get scored on how much you are on line. The higher your score, the higher your share, the more likely you will be invested in.
Is it a good idea? More fun than Klout. And when you look at your daily scores you can see where you are lagging. Facebook starts to fall, you know you have to interact more. Twitter shoots up, you might be on there too much. It's the first tool, that lets you have fun too.
End my endorsement! LOL

I met up with this family a couple of weeks ago, and it was instantly like meeting old friends. These children were all rock stars in front of my camera, and all of them are so so gorgeous. I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites of their beautiful images. Their story of Hope is below!
"About 9 years ago, we were busy living life as a family of five. We had 2 beautiful girls and a sweet little boy."
"We were done, as they say. But, God had other plans."
"Through a series of events, God made it clear that adoption would be in our future.
As we began to pray about this journey, He made it crystal clear that we would be crossing the ocean to welcome home our next child from China.
We were blessed that all five of us were able to travel to China in December 2008 and meet our beautiful Maylee and welcome her into our family."
"It was during our time on this trip, that we knew in our hearts that we would be back.
And, to make a long story somewhat shorter, God did lead us back to China not once but twice."
"Our little firecracker, Sam David, joined our family in July 2010."
"Then, our ever-smiling Emma Claire joined our clan in October 2013."
"All three of our adoptions were through China's special needs program. This does throw a little different dynamic in our family; such as more doctor appointments, weekly therapy sessions and such. But, the joy and happiness that exudes from each our children far exceeds any extra efforts. Each of our children have taught us what unconditional love looks like and daily remind us of what is truly important in this life – faith, love and family."
"Jennifer has blessed our family beyond measure with this precious gift of beautiful images of our greatest treasures here on this earth. She was so incredible to work with and made us feel like close friends by the end of our session. These priceless gifts will live on for many years to come and our family is delighted to share with family and friends about the professional and impeccable services she offers."
