Over the past couple years, we were introduced to rainbow roots and hidden rainbow hair, but up until now we had never imagined the end result of pairing the two vibrant hair color ideas together. In order for hidden rainbow roots to really work, it's all about the placement of your colorful dyes. Instead of dousing your part in color, hiding the bright hues comes down to applying them on the underside of your top section of hair. To help you understand the process of achieving the head-turning hidden rainbow roots hair color trend, we've created the step-by-step hair color tutorial below to bring your newest technicolor hair color to life.
Before diving into any bleaching or dyeing, start your process off making sure you have all the colors you'll need. Although this hair color is known for being rainbow, it's totally up to you to decide how many colors to incorporate. If you're feeling a little nervous about the process and wish you could try the look without major commitment, you're in luck! With the L'Oréal Paris Colorista Semi-Permanent Hair Color, you'll be able to add bright hues to your 'do that will wash out after 4-10 shampoos. If this is the route you decide to go with, we highly recommend Turquoise, Lime Green, Hot Pink, and Purple—especially since these colors constitute another hair color trend: acid hair.
Once you've chosen your dyes, lay them out so that they're ready for application. Be sure to use a separate dyeing brush with each color so as to not muddy up any hue.
In order for your colors to really stand out, you'll need to use a box of hair bleach to lighten your roots (unless your base color is blonde, in which case you can skip this step)—a box of the L'Oréal Paris Colorista Bleach will do the trick! When deciding where to bleach, the key is to choose sections closest to your roots that would be covered by a top layer of hair. For example, it you normally have a deep side part, you'll want to use a rat tail comb to lift the top most section of hair to bleach at the roots directly under it.
Using your dyes, add color in a rainbow striped fashion directly on top of the bleached sections of hair. Leave the color on for the specified amount of time on your box in order to achieve full vibrant results.
Once your colors have had enough time to set into your strands, rinse them out with super-cold water to help prevent color bleeding between sections of your rainbow.
Now that your rainbow roots are a reality, it's time to style your hair accordingly. If you want to show off your new color from the get-go, try creating double French braids on top of your head with messy space buns around your crown. Want to keep it more of a surprise? Simply spritz your hair with some of the L'Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Wave Swept Spray and allow it to air dry before catching someone off guard with a hair flip.
We don't know about you, but we love hidden rainbow roots! If you find that you're not having quite as much fun with it, simply pick up a tube of the L'Oréal Paris Colorista Fading Shampoo to speed up the fading process so that you can experiment with different rainbow-inspired colors or a new look altogether. Instead of immediately reaching for a semi-permanent hair color that lasts a few shampoos, consider testing the rainbow root waters with the L'Oréal Paris Colorista 1-Day Sprays (which wash out in one shampoo) to narrow down which colors work best for you. Available in Rose Gold, Blue, Gold, Hot Pink, Pastel Blue, Pastel Lavender, Pastel Mint, Pastel Pink, Purple, and Silver, you're sure to have plenty to experiment with to create one of a kind hidden rainbow roots.

Over the last few years, the ACES standard has been used on a variety of successful and big-budget films. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 is a prime example. But it's not just for film studios, big post facilities and blockbuster movies. It's also being used all over the world by small post houses.
Portland, Oregon-based ChromaColor is one of those smaller houses. Jordan Snider, a supervising colorist, opened ChromaColor in 2015, bringing with him years of experience working with stills and motion photography in Hollywood. Despite being a young company, ChromaColor draws upon the years of experience from Snider, as well as from CEO Alex Panton, a 25-year-plus industry veteran with a vast network of contacts worldwide. He recently relocated to Portland from England, where he ran 4K London, an agency for Digital Imaging Technicians (DITs).
ChromaColor offers end-to-end support of film and TV projects, managing the recording, archiving, color grading and mastering of moving pictures as an integrated service. Panton and Snider to offer high-end services to more limited-budget productions. "Without compromising essential quality, we have emulated, but streamlined, the expensive studio model, making a simple workflow available to the much wider independent film market," explains Panton, adding "we recently opened a facility in Echo Park in Los Angeles, providing a portal to our Portland facility."
Snider has parlayed his expertise and experience in still photography into the world of moving images. "I fell in love with the craft of photography through my involvement in action sports as a semi-pro BMX rider," he explains. "At the beginning of the digital photographic revolution I took an apprenticeship with a prominent and traditional analog photographer. Learning to assist and run the darkroom taught me the fundamentals of color science. From there I found my way onto sets in camera and lighting departments. I fell into working in a DaVinci Resolve suite and never looked back. I always regarded color as the perfect intersection of my work in stills and motion. When I was younger I wanted to be the DP, but I found myself doing well helping other artists craft their images. It's been a good fit!"
Using ACES
For those who might not be familiar with ACES, here is The Academy's official definition: ACES (Academy Color Encoding System) is a standard for managing color throughout the life cycle of a motion picture or television production. From image capture through editing, VFX, mastering, public presentation, archiving and future remastering.
Incorporating ACES on ChromaColor's projects seemed like a natural choice, and it didn't mean any drastic changes to the workflow that Snider had already set up and tested on many commercials. "ACES is brilliant because it's a total rethink of how to treat the data in the visual pipeline, all without reinventing the wheel" he explains.
With ACES, balancing different cameras is easy. "As a colorist, I have more control over the manipulation of the color information," explains Snider. "This helps me maximize the time I can spend on creating the best possible composition for my clients. On the back end, it makes mastering and exporting to multiple formats and/or color spaces much more streamlined, and with HDR on the horizon everyone will be mastering to both Rec. 709 and HDR 10. For our clients, it saves time and money in addition to future-proofing their assets, making it much easier to create an HDR version or even a version for some future display that doesn't exist yet. What's not to like?"
ChromaColor recently used ACES to great effect on a documentary about the Symbiosis Eclipse Festival (see our main image), an Oregon-based music and arts festival that coincided with August's solar eclipse. At first South African-based production company NV Studios was just looking for a local Portland-based DIT with a RAID and hired ChromaColor for those tasks, but Snider quickly realized that the multitude of cameras being used (from Red Helium to Sony A7 and many more) and the sheer amount of footage being shot meant that ACES would be a great benefit. By designing a smart ACES-based workflow, ChromaColor was able to provide an on-location digital lab to fit the limited budget. And, of course, it was far easier for the editor back in Johannesburg to successfully cut between all the different formats and for the digital intermediate finishing to go smoothly.
Like others before him, Snider also appreciates the openness and availability of ACES. "The best part about ACES is that it doesn't matter if you are a student or a senior colorist in Hollywood, it's available for everyone and integrated into the software packages we use every day. In our case it was Resolve, but it's found in other software, such as FilmLight Baselight. It's really a gift for independent motion pictures that can take advantage of the contributions of Hollywood's leading color scientists on this open platform."
Other ChromaColor clients include Nike, Adidas, Google, AirBnB, Harry & David, Beats By Dre and AT&T.

Pest infestation during a move could be a major challenge for the average do-it-yourself individual. From cockroaches to bed bugs and fleas, pests are a major nuisance for many households and businesses across the country. While moving is an important aspect of a person's life, taking preventative measures to combat a potential new infestation is an equally important task. There are many ways to manage pest infestation during your relocation.
Let us discuss some helpful tips on how you could deal with pest infestation during your move.
What Should I Do With My Furniture During Moving With a Pest Infestation?
Moving with a major pest infestation is a very difficult process. An intense infestation could result in the decision to dispose of furniture items. Roaches spread nasty germs crawling and nesting throughout your couches, tables, beds, etc. The black or brown poop stains left by the insects are clear evidence of roach infestation. Disposing of furniture could seem a bit drastic for some, but the threat of causing an infestation to your new home could lead to more problems.
Minor infestations are less messy and easier to deal with. If there is little to no evidence of bugs, you may be able to clean it good enough to remove it from the premises. Once you remove the furniture, its a good idea to wrap it plastic before blanket protecting and loading it on your moving truck.
Perform a Thorough Cleaning of Home
Its a good idea to do an initial cleaning by sweeping and moping your house thoroughly prior to starting your move. Combat germs using some quality [amazon_textlink asin='B00Q70RCW6′ text='disinfectant wipes' template='ProductLink' store='jsuttonandco-20′ marketplace='US' link_id='3b5a0e6e-ddeb-11e7-bdee-358ffae42f50′]. These would be great for removing the germs these pesky critters leave behind. Wipe down all your household furniture and dispose of those items you will no longer use.
As bugs require food, shelter and water, your goal would generally be to remove the these essential elements. This would make the task of dealing with your move less stressful.

What To Do Before Packing
Before you begin packing you should gather and wash all your linen and clothes. Search any cloths and other fabric items for unsuspecting pests. Separate and bag all of your clothes and linen in clear plastic bags. Its a good idea to wash your clothes outside of the infested home to avoid subjecting them to further infestation. Take precautions to prevent critters from hitching a ride to your new home.
Brown plastic bags are good for garbage items you intend on disposing of. However, if you plan on keeping some of your belongings place them in clear plastic bags.
When reserving movers or moving help, it is a good idea to explain the situation to them over the phone. Discussing an infestation is not easy and may be uncomfortable. Movers are typically knowledgeable about pest infestations on moves and may have some helpful suggestions or tips.
What Should I Use for Packing An Infested Home?

This film, a loosely termed 'biopic' of the lives of the Brontës was filmed in 1946 and starred Ida Lupino as Emily Brontë, Paul Henreid as AB Nicholls, and Olivia de Havilland as Charlotte Brontë.
Thisbeciel calls it: 'A universe where everybody loves Charlotte and everybody loves that sexy man AB Nicholls.' Here is a synopsis of the film:
In the early 1800s, sisters Charlotte and Anne Brontë prepare to leave their sister Emily, their brother Branwell and their aunt and vicar father to work as governesses. Charlotte and Anne want to experience life outside their home as preparation for their careers as writers. Branwell is a talented, temperamental painter who is coddled by his sister Emily, and Charlotte and Anne plan to give the money they earn as governesses to him, so that he can go to London to study art. One night while Bran is getting drunk at a local tavern, Arthur Nicholls, his father's new curate, arrives. Bran insists that Arthur accompany him to the vicarage. At first Arthur refuses, believing that it is too late in the evening, but then, seeing how drunk Bran is, accompanies him. Emily answers the door and mistakes Arthur for one of Bran's drunken friends. The following day, after Bran leaves for London, Arthur reappears. After he is greeted by the unwelcoming Mr. Brontë, Emily's mistake is cleared up and she and Arthur become friends. One day, Emily shows Arthur a lonely house, which has inspired her novel, Wuthering Heights. After some time passes, disillusioned Bran returns home, blaming his sisters for his failure as an artist. Charlotte and Anne also return home. At a dance at the neighbouring Thornton house, Arthur is struck by Charlotte's beauty. When Charlotte realizes that Emily is interested in Arthur, she becomes interested as well…
Thanks to Biedroneczka, I bring you a Lux Radio Theater radio adaptation of 'Devotion' starring Virginia Bruce (the platinum blond starlet who played Jane Eyre in the first talkie of the 1930s) as Charlotte Brontë and Vincent Price as AB Nicholls!
The production will be available for download for a week.

Fighters are known for their faith toward Coellissliss. Well balanced between strength and mana, they are the backbone of Platonis Knight Corps. As the descendants of Amos Larson, fighters live by their peace loving creeds. In times of peace, they are the nicest people. In times of war, they do not look back or think twice. They are the guardians of their beloved people.
With honor and brotherhood, Fighters bless their fellow warriors who go to the battlefield. As for Macuapel sector, Fighters are the worst nightmares. As Tartanos War goes on, Fighters have been colliding with the Dark Nights of Macuapel sector. Highly skilled with the evil magic and curses, Dark Knights are the arch enemies of the Fighters. Indeed, Dark Knights are the very menace of Cronous continent.
What made everything worse was Dark Knights spread the wicked teachings of Macuapel Sector all over the continent, and therefore, even after the Tartanos War, the fighters had to eliminate the deep-rooted leftovers of Macuapel Sector. Bloodbath was tragic, but yes there was no other choice.
As the execution went on, Fighters realized that something has gone seriously wrong. Instead of saving the lives, they were killing the lives instead of guiding the misled followers back to the right track. In order to set defend their forgotten honor, Fighters got together at Platonis, the very foundation of Coellissliss Sector and trained. The ones that passed all the trainings were honored as 'Knights'
Once honored as a Knight, one has to constantly discipline him/herself a gainst all odds. Knights have to go around the continent and spread the teachings of love and righteousness to the misled people. Nevertheless, Knights will finish the Macuapel Sector to the bones.

Monday, August 06, 2012 Dunkin' Donuts Dunkin' Donuts ECO MUG Dunkin' Donuts Promo Food Practical Finds
Dunkin' Donuts ECO Mug Hits Me Hard
My colleague and I just discussed how we admire the classic donut giant, Dunkin' Donuts, for surviving the industry competition amidst ...
My colleague and I just discussed how we admire the classic donut giant, Dunkin' Donuts, for surviving the industry competition amidst the introduction of new donut brands through the years.
I remember my childhood days when my school bus would pass by its main branch along Aurora Boulevard. The aroma of Dunkin' Donuts was simply hypnotic then and still is now. Tambay sa nose kind of aroma and my mornings for 8 years in elementary were all made of that.
Recently, I bought 9 donut pack as a pasalubong at a nearby Dunkin' Donut stall in our place, Pureza to be exact, (which by the way has been standing there for 21 years) and I saw this adorable "Eco-Mug." I immediately asked the staff how much I could get it for and surprisingly, it's only P60.00 with the bulk purchase I had. At retail, it's P180.00. With this kind of deal, of course I didn't think twice, I grabbed one. You would skip a heartbeat at how this "Eco Mug" looks.
Here's the actual ECO-Mug I purchased in color brown. There are four available colors to choose from. Pick yours from Brown, Pink, Orange and Blue.
The Eco-Mug's lid is made of rubber. It is washable and seals the hot coffee perfectly. I was afraid at first thinking when I sip through the hole, it would be a spill mess. I'm glad it didn't, the lid perfectly fits the mug!
The weaved design of Dunkin' Donuts' mug holder makes it all the more endearing. Since the mug is made of glass the hot beverage could burn your hand if handled directly. Thanks to this mug holder, I didn't have to experience the burning part.
I have tried two or more other brand of donuts but like a child who's been injured and goes to her mom for comfort, I still keep coming back to Dunkin' Donuts. With their timely new campaign that cares for the environment by communicating 'Go-get-your-reusable-Eco-Mug-instead-of-styro-cups' I know Dunkin' Donuts will never fail nto make me love them more and more!
For more information on how to get your own Dunkin' Donuts ECO-Mug visit their website at http://www.dunkindonutsphilippines.ph/

Why Free College Homework Help Is Not A Good Option To Consider
There are a lot of homework help sites available that don't cost you a penny. You can access a multitude of answers that are right at your fingertips. This information will help you fly right through your homework. However, getting free college homework help is not a good option to consider.
There are four major reasons why this is a practice that is going to come back to haunt you. I can't say that it will every time and some people will be lucky enough to utilize it and not feel the wrath. However, this comes few and far between. Here are the reasons to steer clear.
- 1. There is no way to tell if the information is accurate.
- 2. Usually nothing good is for free.
- 3. You may get caught cheating.
- 4. It won't help you learn the information.
Literally anyone can post information on the internet. Now, I am not sure exactly why someone would waste their time answering questions incorrectly but they do. Maybe they want you to pay for cheating. Yes, I said it because that is exactly what you are doing when you submit someone else's answers as you own.
Most students will sell their homework answers for some extra cash. However, there isn't really any reason why they would waste their time giving them away for free without a catch. If it is free it may be worth the nothing that you paid for it.
Say that you submit a stupid made up answer that your teacher recognized from a future classmate that wrote the same stupid answer for that question. You are busted and possibly looking at getting kicked out of school for cheating. No big deal though, you can always start all over at another school as long as it doesn't go on your permanent record.
Although homework is tedious and border line stupid, it is there to teach you the concepts that you will need to know in the future, even if it's only for the near future test. Just getting the answers is not going to help you learn the problems.
There are some other great resources that you can utilize for free when it comes to completing your homework. They may not tell you the answers straight forward like these sites, but they give you the tools you need to learn the problems on your own.

....thought since I am losing my mind, this might be a good place to get all my feelings out. I absolutely HATE the secrecy of the first trimester, but I get it. Especially after having approx 4579575 internet Mom friends now, I've heard my share of stories, so I'm a lot more aware this time around of what could happen. Which, I hate. When I was first pregnant with Emily, I knew of things like the 'm' word, but I didn't know how often things like that happened. Now I know, and it definitely makes for me a lot more anxious time around....
Today I am 8 weeks, 1 day apparently.
I only have about 25 apps on my phone all telling me basically nothing, lol. The baby is a raspberry in some and "almost a raspberry" in others? He or she has an enormous head, and it will be a while before it resembles anything that looks like baby. I spent all morning crying on the couch, watching Elmo with Emily and googling "8 weeks pregnant, why am I so sad?" while simulataneously reading Dr. Suess's, "The Great Birthday Bird" which is a book Emily is obsessed with...even though she's torn out all of the pull tabs, so a couple pages make no sense anymore. The crying today was hard. I wake up every day with the best intentions, and it seems at some point I just lose it. I've heard it explained like a tidal wave coming in. The hormones. You just get smacked with emotion and then all of a sudden, you're crying for no reason. Except, there are actually SO MANY REASONS.
It's been really hard being this exhuasted with a full-time toddler around. And that drives me to tears many nights in itself. I feel like I'm being a bad Mom. I'm frustrated that I'm getting nothing done since the minute she naps, I nap and then spend the rest of the day trying to convince Emily to play by herself from the couch. Not that I was this amazing SAHM Mom before, lol...but I feel especially horrible now. She's in this stage where she wants to learn and explore, and she's been sort of on her own the past few weeks. I haven't been a super great wife either. I'm not sure what else we've talked about lately other than me not feeling well. The only fun in it so far for John are my cravings. The other night he got home, there was nothing for dinner because I was "NOT HUNGRY FOR ANYTHING." AND "NOTHING SOUNDS GOOD, AT ALL." So after reading a list of every single food place within five miles, he finally convinced me to get a cheeseburger. And my God, if that wasn't the best cheeseburger I've ever had, lol. I don't get morning sickness, but I get wicked food aversions and nothing sounds good to me lately. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Those shakes I drink that are basically the all the superfoods of the rainforest in a glass? I have been gagging them down. Which probably doesn't help my mood, or my fatigue because without them, I'm living on carbs and cheese and fruit. Which is exaclty what I'm eating right now, lol. #fruitislife
But, I don't know. I've just been super sad. It was no secret how bad I wanted this to happen, but it wasn't just because I wanted another baby. It was also because I wanted to get another baby over with...
I never imagined that this stage of life would be so hard for me since it was all I ever wanted, and it was my "I'll be happy when" thing - but it's so had. I don't do well with the hormones or the lack of personal space and the feeling of being sort of, trapped. Like, I'm stuck here until further notice and that's that. When you're the Mom, there's no one else to replace you. (Unless you have a nanny, then cool) Or to just surrender and be like, "yeah this is a lot, I quit..." Nope - you're literally the ONLY one for the job and the idea of that feels just, a bit heavy. Like, shoot...me? I HAVE to see this thing through? Quitting's not an option?
It's a lot.
So the idea of doubling down is terrifying. Those first few months with a newborn almost killed me, how do I do it again, IN ADDITION to the wildchild that almost killed me, lol? Can I do it?
Well, the answer is I have to. And that makes me cry, lol...
UGH. That's probably enough for now. I've gotta run off and try and get happy so I can make it through the second half of the day. *Picture of me wearing this weird outfit is because I tried to get my life together once already today. **Maybe I'm not a quitter after all...
9 weeks, 2 days:
This is the first time I've cried all week, so seems appropriate that I come here to write. Lol, UGH. Today just feels...long, like all the days do. But this week, John's been working literally like 15 hour days, so it only being Thursday feels like an eternity and for some reason - even though I am still beyond exhuasted, I cannot sleep. I toss around all night, and then I'm having a hard time napping too. I keep trying new spots in the house to nap, and it's just not working. It's hot. And I feel...worried. I think it's because things are starting to catch up with me, like all the things I'm not getting done, and it's becoming this huge stressful un-done list of things in my head that I can't shake off. I did something really stupid business-wise last week, because I was feeling like I just didn't want the burden of all my responsibilites, and now I'll probably most definitely regret it - so there's that. My chalkboard in the hallway has said "make eye appointment, etc etc etc" on it for three weeks now. And I just keep looking at it and doing nothing, lol. But I better do that one soon, because I have about two weeks left of contacts. Lol, UGHH. I'm not doing any of the things I "should" be doing, because I don't have the energy. I started an online photo order A WEEK ago, and it's still sitting here in my tabs bar; another thing that will probably take me at least a few more weeks to get to...
I'm somewhat adjusting to this extreme fatigue though, because I have to - but it's still really depressing feeling like it will never go away. I think I remember with Emily being about 14 weeks when I felt like I had my energy back. But, I also had so much time to myself. I feel like this pregnancy is just going to be exhuasting right up until the end. And then the end = now you can only sleep in 2 hour increments, AND ENTERTAIN A TODDLER. Have fun! Lol.
But we did finally get to see the Doctor last week, which was a relief because there is actually a baby in there. So that was good news. And all looked good (or as good as can be in the shortest ultrasound ever) and they gave me a due date of April 2nd. Although, I'll have a 39 week c-section, so we'll get to choose babys actual birthday when it gets closer. (Still a c-section fan.) And next week I get the genetic testing done, so by 12 weeks we should know gender! Heartbeat was 160, which I think means girl, but I still feel like it's a boy most of the time. I actually had a dream the other night that we were at the Doctors and she told us the baby was a boy, but that he looked short, hahaha. The weird pregnancy dreams are back! I had another one where I was on an airplane with Khloe Kardashian, and she was pregnant and needed off the plane mid-air, so they tied a rope around her and dropped her down through the sky, lol. And then I ordered orange chicken and pizza from the flight attendant. (I've never even had orange chicken, lol?) Then one night I was at a haunted house with my friend and I wanted to leave, but I had an old school flip phone and couldn't download the app for Uber, lol.
The dreams are pretty funny. But everything else just feels like survival mode, and it sucks.
1.) Get through the day.
2.) Try to sleep.
3.) Hope I'm not ruining Emilys toddlerhood.
1.) Get through the day.
2.) Try to sleep.
3.) Hope I'm not ruining Emilys toddlerhood.
It's hard.
But I guess the good news so far is that I have BARELY thought about my changing body, and what I look like. Maybe because I just trust my body now to do what it's going to do? And because practicing Intuitive Eating has (mostly) rid me of that obsession. But here I am, 9 weeks 2 days. I have such a short torso, everything just sort of starts to puff out and I'm all gut for a while, lol...
10 weeks, 6 days:
I figured out the secret. I'm wrestling with it and John's not happy.
I didn't drink any with Emily, besides the occasional Diet Coke if we were staying out late or something, lol. And I figured since I had such a healthy pregnancy last time and a pretty *perfect* baby, that it was probably safe to do the same thing.....so I stopped. My beloved pre-workout, coffee, tea, ALL OF IT. And I think it was probably what made weeks 5-8 SO, SO hard too. Like, I took away my lifeline....AND my body went into hibernation. Double whammy! I'm sure it was good that I took a few weeks off to "detox" because I was drinking some super high levels prior to getting pregnant. But I realized this week that having NO CAFFEINE just wasn't going to be realistic this time around. I feel like I've been trying to live my life with my hands tied behind my back or something. Things have been so much harder than they probably needed to be. I'm making myself miserable and I think it was totally contributing to my depresssion these past few weeks. And I tell people all the time, "only you can help yourself." So, I had to do what I had to do....
And it's crazy what just the smallest glass of iced tea can do, lol.
Today, I weeded the whole front yard. Like, I have motivation again!! HOORAH! But I'm also just pretty pumped for fall because it's finally cool outside and I have been WISHING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG. I am so grateful I wasn't pregnant over the summer, as badly as I wanted to be a few months ago because that heat was brutal. I couldn't even step outside a few weeks ago, because I'd instantly get a headache. (Being stuck inside = also a recipe for depression.)
It was a pretty decent day. (How's that for a positive update, finally lol.)
But now Emily is at my feet, screeching....
It was a pretty decent day. (How's that for a positive update, finally lol.)
But now Emily is at my feet, screeching....
So, gonna wrap it up and just say praise Jesus things are looking up. I'm BEYOND READY TO STOP LIVING IN SECRET TOO. I HATE THIS PART!
....the puffy gut continues, lol.
11 weeks, 2 days:
I'm sad and embarassed to say that last night I had my first real breakdown over my changing body. Apaprently, I spoke too soon! Maybe it's because I can definitely tell that things are changing now, or maybe it's because I stepped on the scale yesterday even though I KNEW it was a bad idea. I'm just having a hard time not comparing my weight week-by-week to what I weighed when I was pregnant with Emily. Even though that's totally not fair, and I know it.

I'm just having a hard time not comparing my weight week-by-week to what I weighed when I was pregnant with Emily. Even though that's totally not fair, and I know it.
I also shared a few clips from my workout the other morning, and I just scrutinized myself for not looking "small." (So dumb.) And I HATE that I'm even admitting this and I wish I could be stronger, but it's real life and change is hard. So I wasn't feeling great about myself all day, and then when John and I were watching TV in bed later at night, he touched my stomach and I just couldn't hold back the tears any longer. It was one of those cries that you try really hard to keep in, and not let anyone see...but you can't. And then I said some really mean things about myself that I regretted IMMEDIATELY because I knew it was wrong, and I know I'm better than that. But it's hard in the moment when you're trying to grapple with that kind of change.
I think it's just that awkward, weird stage though where you don't LOOK pregnant combined with the fact that you're still "pretending" you're not. It's wearing big shirts to hide my growing belly, and acting like everything is still normal...
Have I MENTIONED THAT I HATE THE HIDING OUT PART? Lol. Well, I do.
BUT, soon! So soon!
And in the mean time, I'll just be digging out all of my maternity clothes already and ignoring mirrors. KIDDING. Just going to do my best to embrace this weird stage because that's all I can do, and that's what I SHOULD do.
Next time I blog....I'LL BE GOTTA THE CLOSET, BABY.
*And hopefully, the second trimester energy will follow! **PLEASE DEAR LORD.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said he expects to see legislative activity in the wake of the mass shooting in Connecticut.
Speaking on WBAL-AM Monday evening, O'Malley said legislators will be looking at what can be done to strengthen school security and gun laws to make children safer.
O'Malley said mental health is also a part of trying to prevent future tragedies like the one in Newtown last week. He said that can include making sure that warning signs are seen and that somebody follows up.

This U.S. Territory less than a four-hour flight from South Korea and the Philippines with its name that calls to mind a succulent tropical fruit, has intrigued me for years. I'd heard about its melange of cultures, its fabulous beaches, its shopping, food, and adventure, and yet I'd never met a single person that had traveled there. When Guam's tourism sages declared 2017 "The Year of Love", I knew I had to see and learn more about the island known mostly for its American military base. What I discovered exceeded all my expectations.
The largest island in Micronesia, a touch smaller than Metro Manila (with one-eightieth of its population), Guam offers Asians a taste of America without the long flight across the globe. Like the Philippines, it was once under Spanish control, and it was also ruled by the Japanese before being liberated by the United States in World War II. Its past has forged a fascinating hybrid, an island that has meshed Asia, Micronesia, America, and Europe and spawned its own language, culture and cuisine.
In the 1960s, visitors began pouring in from Japan, which has remained the island's dominant tourism market, although recent years have seen a surge of tourists from the Philippines, who have reason to feel at home in Guam. By a number of estimates, a quarter of the island's permanent population is from the Philippines, many of them working in tourism. Filipinos will find the food familiar — the indigenous Chamorro people love their meat and fish.
At the casually decorated Terry's Local Comfort Food in Tumon Bay, the island's main tourist area, I sampled the famous fried parrot-fish, shrimp fritters and beef steak, all served with the fiery finedene (soy sauce with chilli, lemon, and chopped onions) that locals spoon upon everything. My personal favorites? Two addictive vegetable dishes — hagon suni (spinach in coconut milk enlivened by lemon juice) and lechen biringhenas (grilled aubergine with coconut milk). Meals in Guam are large and usually end with another familiar word, balutan, adopted into Chamorro: food packed for takeaway.
In addition to traditional food, Guam's restaurants offer the entire breadth from Asian to Latin to European, plus good old American chains like Denny's, California Pizza Kitchen, and Ruby Tuesday. One evening, I dined at the glass-fronted, Sea Grill, and was wowed as much by the views of a Vegas-like strip in Tumon Bay, as the fine seafood served in ocean-themed interiors, complete with a pair of blue whales for a centerpiece.
The following day I headed over to Fish Eye Marine Park, an underwater observatory at the end of a 300m pier, to check out another of Guam's celebrated attributes — the thriving marine life in its surrounding waters.
"This area is called Piti Bomb Holes," my guide Dennis McMurray said, pointing at water teeming with longfin bannerfish and black-and-white damselfish, "because during the war Japanese artillery blew away patches of coral." The marine park is one of the island's main attractions, yet signs to it (likewise for every tourist site on Guam) are minimal. I found the understated tourism here refreshing — no blazing billboards, gaudy placards, no overt showmanship, but fun spots promoted tastefully.
Even the marker on the main highway for Guam's top attraction, Two Lovers Point, is so small that if you blink, you'll miss it. The point rises above the Philippine Sea and legend has it, is the spot where two ill-fated Chamorro lovers bound their hair together before leaping to their tragic demise.
The look-out point attracts visitors and young lovers attach heart-shaped foam tags, available from the gift shop, to the railings around the viewing platform, each one inscribed with messages or snapshots that celebrate the spirit of romance. Looking down from the cliff, I scanned the endless electric-blue sea and noticed the shell of a huge turtle breaking the surface.
"When I was young I'd fish down there," Dennis told me, watching the turtle, "and sometimes giant manta rays would just come right up and glide around."
The Valley of the Latte river cruise allows visitors to explore a slice of the island that's also steeped in lore with carbon dating indicating that human life existed in the region around 210 BC. Take the pontoon ride up the Talofofo River and pass the nipa palms, banana and papaya plants and the pandanus tree whose leaves can be used to make sails. Here, after World War II, the Japanese soldier Shoichi Yokoi hid for 28 years, living off the land and the river, making clothes from the bark of the hibiscus tree.
The cruise is soothing, silent but for the gentle rumble of the boat engine and the occasional splashing of catfish in the water. The palms and clouds reflected in the glassy river lent the trip a gentle, dream-like quality.
Back on land, staff dressed in traditional Chamorro loincloths show us a thatched dwelling built atop foundation stones called lattes, where they built canoes — small ones dug out of tree trunks and larger ones made by lashing together planks of breadfruit and flame trees.
It is easy to picture life here 2,000 years ago. Chamorro culture is also celebrated at nightly performances around the island. At the Sheraton's Bayside BBQ, the only pure Chamorro show on Guam, diners feast on short ribs, Chamorro sausage, and seafood, while performers sing and dance. The event is low-key, tracing the island's chronology through the Polynesian-esque hip swaying, hand movements to pre-Hispanic tribal rhythms, to dances that incorporate twirls of the skirt, to men with red bands tied around their waists, coconut shells used as castanets. After the show, I learned from the emcee that the Chamorro language, shunned prior to the 1960s, has become more dominant since 2000, and is now taught in all public schools.
Tao Tao Tasi, staged in an open-air arena on Gun Beach, is a much more elaborate show. Translated as "people of the seas" and drawing on influences from across the Pacific islands, it enthralls guests with folk songs, stick-fighting, dancers performing the hip-swaying Tamure atop hydraulic platforms, muscular men twirling machetes and fire batons, and intense, driving passages of percussion.
Of course, the entertainment here extends beyond cultural shows, and includes adrenaline-pumping extreme rides like the Slingshot and magic shows in Tumon Bay. At the pulsing extravaganza Zubrick, I watched big dance numbers, daring acrobatic feats, and some confounding illusions. The following night at Encore!, I enjoyed an intimate variety show more geared to families including everyone's favorite character Mr. Rob, the Vaudeville-esque, avuncular juggler who kept botching his tricks.
This diversity exemplifies the appeal of Guam — it is has something for all tastes, from elementary to elaborate, low-cost to lavish. Take the shopping: T Galleria by DFS seduces designer-devotees, while Guam Premier Outlets is the home of Ross, a discounter with cut-rate zebra masks, shoes, swimsuits, Ralph Lauren handbags, and more (it's open till 1am!). Guamanians love to boast that their island has the world's largest Louis Vuitton store and the world's biggest Kmart. Yet away from international name brands, there is local shopping. At the Chamorro Village night market held every Wednesday, I found jewelry, carved gifts, Guam coconut oil, remarkable art made of burned wood, and enjoyed smoothies, iced desserts and barbecued meat at the stalls while catching a free traditional cultural show which had fire twirlers come so close to the audience, we could smell the kerosene and feel the searing heat from the fire torches. My fondest memory was buying denanche or chilli sauce from producer Joseph Aguon, a lively man with a chili-pepper earring in his left lobe and a glint in his eye.
Before coming over, I'd always imagined Guam to be densely developed throughout, but one half-day around the south of the island soon dispelled that myth. The majority of Chamorros live in the south, filled with crinkly mountains and thick jungle. At the Inarajan Pool, seawater floods limestone hollows creating natural water holes. I climbed a rock to the right of the holes, accessed via a broken staircase, and enjoyed the spray of the ocean as the powerful Pacific pummeled the shore. The pools were warm with silky soft water and only a handful of tourists (though they get packed on weekends). The village of Inarajan offers visitors a glimpse of Guam's past. The hamlet was the headquarters of the Japanese forces during the war, a simple house on Hidalgo Way. Bright public artwork, something evident all over Guam, brightened walls of crumbling buildings and one home bore a plaque commemorating Mariano and Ana Leon Guerrero, who lived there with their 16 children.
I strolled around Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, a fortification overlooking Umatac Bay that was a supply stop for the Acapulco-Manila Spanish galleon trade. The fort is serene, with towering Australian pine trees and heart-melting views of the coastline and deep-blue waters. Umatac Bay was where Ferdinand Magellan is thought to have first landed in Guam in 1521, a pretty cove backed by mountains like Mount Lam Lam, the tallest point of the island. As I trod upon the pebbles by the bay, I couldn't help but wonder if the great Portuguese explorer took these same steps almost five centuries ago.
Driving is one of the unexpected pleasures of the of the island, and a rental allowed me to explore ribbons of empty beach near Ritidian Point in the north, to the quiet village of Merizo in the south. I took in all the forces that shaped the island, from Japanese gun turrets by beaches, to the grand Dulce Nombre de Maria Basilica with its striking stained glass windows to the charming Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Santa Rita.
I drove with the windows down, and in quintessential escape mode, I sometimes forgot where I was. Along some stretches it felt like I was in the Caribbean, the sound of reggae audible all over the island. But the strip-style shopping plazas reminded me of the US. The signs in Japanese suggested I was in Asia. The lilt of Tagalog on the local radio put me in the Philippines.
"Access from the Philippines is almost easier than getting to a remote island in the same country," Simon Odoca, a resident who is half-Filipino, told me. "Here there are no worries about bus or boat transfers, there is no traffic, the roads are good, the driving is easy, and the distances are short. And Filipinos love the shopping."
Another lure is of course the outdoors, with great golf, excellent hiking (aka boonie stomping), and sublime beaches which make plenty of water sports available. Alupang Beach Club (ABC), the prime water sports facility near the tourist hubs of Tumon Bay and Hagatna, occupies a stretch of the shallow East Hagatna Bay. Tourists can spend a day here, jet-skiing, stand-up paddle boarding, parasailing, banana boating, snorkeling, and more. At the buffet lunch, I met ABC's Retail Manager Stephen Gatewood, a tall young man with matinee-idol looks. "I was born and raised here, and even after going to university in San Diego, I couldn't wait to come back. Guam is full of hidden gems dotted around the island, amazing places to explore."
One such gem is Lost Pond, a freshwater lagoon not far from Two Lovers' Point that even some locals don't know exists. Adventurers walk and wade north along Tanguisson Beach (wear water shoes and carry belongings in a dry bag) and then enter the jungle at a break in the bushes marked by pink and orange tape. After a 10-minute ramble through the jungle, I was able to leap into a calm, emerald fresh water pond.
On my last morning, I planned to hike Mt Lam Lam from the lookout for Cetti Bay. When the trail forked, I turned right, pressed for time, choosing the nearer Mt Jumullong Manglo. The peak is marked by a row of crosses that draws pilgrims by the thousands every Good Friday. At the top, I took in the mountains over the island's spine and the blue bays below in golden silence, but for cooing turtledoves and splicing breezes.
On the descent, I remembered all the things I didn't get to do: the hike to Marbo Cave and Cliffs, Sigua Falls and the famed night markets. But it's all good. Just like many places that have found a way into my heart, Guam still holds reasons for me to return.

Blah Blah Blah Go Workout
Posted on
Life is busy.
When I found myself doing a mini boot camp (thank you to Pure Circuits for your motivational Facebook post this morning) in my bedroom in my pyjamas (plus sports bra) while the toddler terrorists watched Cbeebies, I got thinking about all the things I have done in order to shoehorn some kind of fitness into my life.
I refuse to believe these celebrities who claim "just running around after their kids" helped the baby weight "just fall off", in my experience childcaring is exhausting but only in a mental sleep deprived way not in the helping me tone up and work off that last hobnob kind of way.
And it's just as hard if not harder if you work. I had a friend who used to do 20 squats in the toilets in her office every time she went for a wee because she was so terrified about how little she moved during the day! Others eat their lunch at 11.30, then race to a gym to workout for 45 mins, shower and get back to their desk within their lunch hour (albeit slightly pinker/more glowy in the face department).
This merited a bullet point list (and underlining)
Things i have done to fit fitness in my life:
- Got up pre-dawn to run or swim before the mini-krackens awake and get back in time for the husband to escape to work
- Changed into running gear during teatime so the minute husband walks in I can run out of the door to run or ride
- Gone to bootcamps that welcome children (all well until kracken 2 will not accept being strapped into a pushchair with a biscuit any more and morphs overnight into one of those "looks at you and runs away" type of children)
- Done a mini boot camp at home/in the garden with children (see photo of 3 year old attempting plank below).
- Gone to a playground with a big park attached with a similar minded friend and taken turns running laps/ pushing swings.
- Bribed my mother to babysit (i.e. not telling her until she shows up then just "popping out" for a quick run)
- Paid babysitters, nieces and next door neighbours – not for alone time with my husband or a pampering session but to get out the door and get a lovely long not rushed exercise session.
- Driven krackens to preschool/childminder, then left my car there and run 2 miles home, then reversing at pick up (ok in the spirit of full disclosure, I so wish this was true, I really want to do it and I keep meaning to do it but have not yet managed it)
- Exercised during work hours, luckily being self employed and with my business partner being a fellow Trisista, this is a regular occurence (except when it is raining – she doesn't like the rain)
- Taken considerable advantage of an understanding and amenable husband who doesn't seem to mind me disappearing at the crack of dawn on weekend mornings to ride or swim
- Exercised smarter, so interval training, hill training, speed training are the order of the day rather than endurance/long runs.
- Anyone tried a running buggy? I always wanted to – there is a great lady on insta @runningbuggies who makes it look amazing.
All worth it.
I feel better when I've exercised.
I am a more tolerant, patient and strangely more energetic mum when I have done some exercise.
Plus my children (the krackens) are growing up with exercise as part of their lives and hopefully won't grow up to be large sloths who barely move.
Can't be bad can it?

Why i buy gold and silver bullion
I believe that the metals are not only an investment but a hedge against inflation in the future. It can be the safest investment you have in case paper money crashes in value thus wiping out paper investments. At that time the metals will soar!
In general our advice is to accumulate silver and gold regardless the increase in price in terms of paper currency. Eventually you will need to spend parts of your gold and silver. Either because you need some paper currency to buy for day-to-day things or because silver and gold once again circulate as money, as they should. In the latter case you will spend silver and gold just as you now spend your paper currency.

No. 35: Savory waffle from City, O' City
I am not dismissive of vegetarians. In fact, years ago, while living in the meat-centric city of Chicago, I wouldn't go near a cow, or a pig, a turkey, or a trout. And then I got pregnant and the only thing I wanted in my mouth was a steak. And then came the foie, followed by every part of the pig. But even now, I still eat without meat, and when I'm slapped with the urge to forgo it altogether, the kitchen at City, O' City, one of Denver's sole vegetarian restaurants, delivers in spades, especially when it comes to breakfast. I'm bewitched by the joint's savory waffle, a gluten-free marvel, made with potato starch and tapioca flour, that's pelted with zucchini, flax seeds and carrots. Ringed with a creamy garlic-and-shallot scented Tellagio sauce that's richer than Oprah, and topped with a crop of roasted root vegetables -- and an egg if you want it -- it's arguably the waffle to beat in a smackdown.

SALE High Cut Backless Swimsuit - Black M
Reviews (1859)
This is probably my favorite swimsuit ever. I'm 5'5 and 134 lbs and I got a medium. It literally fits me perfect. I didn't expect it to fit so high up on my hips and I've never worn a suit like that but it actually looks pretty nice. If you're thinking about getting this suit, do it.
May. 29, 2019 at 15:20:02 PM
Really pleased with this one piece. I ordered it in white and was really happy to find it padded through the bust so not see through in this area. A tiny bit see through on the rest of the material but also perfect as a bodysuit with jeans! Love the low back as well!
Oct. 29, 2019 at 08:35:43 AM
LOVE this swimsuit, great quality, hugs all the right places and doesn\'t erase my boobs like all the other one pieces i have. The only thing is that i need to pull it up my bum, otherwise it will make my bum look awful like in the third photo

Illinois Dog Training
A well trained dog is an asset for its owner and Illinois dog training makes that happen.. There are many dog owners who keep searching for Illinois dog training. However, not every dog owner is clear and sure about what is dog training and what aspects are covered in it. If you too are a dog owner and want to get your dog enrolled in dog training schools, then it is recommended for you to have a prior knowledge about this topic.
Illinois Dog Training Programs
Dog education covers diverse areas. While many dogs need to be trained on etiquettes, there are many who need trained for search and rescue work. Some puppies are very shy and need to learn social behavior while some lack self-control and need continuous monitoring. To meet all these needs of dogs, there are a plenty of dog training options available. Some of the different dog training programs include:
Behavioral training: Behavioral dog training is type of training that teaches dogs to behave well with other people and animals. A dog must be trained on how to behave in different situations and places. This training includes basic dog commands which train dogs on their social mannerisms. Dogs in this program learn how to have self-control when it comes to barking, chewing, and breaking things in house. Behavioral training is more suitable for young puppies as they learn how to live in a better way from the beginning.
Obedience training – Obedience training, as the name suggests, is a training program for dogs which emphasizes on making them obedient. This program is a step ahead to behavioral training and teaches dog on how to react in different circumstances. Dogs, with their growing age, tend to get behavioral issues, and this program works on that as well.
Agility training – Illinois dog training schools do train the dogs on agility also. This usually includes training dogs for various sports such as racing, jumping, obstacle crossing etc. This type of dog training is an advanced version and is suitable for some breeds only. A dog enrolled for this program should be trained to follow the instructions. The trainer in this program instructs the pets and they are expected to follow them.
Vocational training – Many Illinois dog training schools undertake vocational trainings for pets. In this program, dogs are trained on how to hunt, lead the herd, search and rescue, and guide the disabled. These vocational training helps the dog in honing their senses and making full use of them in community works. This program is usually rigorous and consumes a lot of time too. A dog undergoing vocational training is expected to be trained well on obedience, and behavior. Again, vocational training is suitable for specific breeds.
Dogs make wonderful pets and if trained well they can surely be owner's best friend. Illinois dog training schools train dogs on various aspect and an owner can easily derive benefit through them in training his pets.

Free Help with Tax Returns Was Provided at MATC's Downtown Milwaukee and Oak Creek Campuses
April 16, 2015
All returns were e-filed to ensure speed and accuracy. This service has been provided at the Oak Creek Campus for 33 years and at the Downtown Milwaukee Campus for 13 years. The program heightens awareness of Wisconsin's Homestead Credit; federal and state education credits; and the Earned Income Credit, an often overlooked federal tax break for low-income working people who are raising children in their homes.
This is the second year Guaranty Bank supported the MATC VITA program. "We were excited to partner with Milwaukee Area Technical College as they provided valuable support to the community during tax season," said Nina Johnson, senior vice president of Guaranty Bank. "We partner with VITA organizations throughout our footprint because we believe that it is a great way to show how committed we are to the community. For more than 90 years, we have dedicated ourselves to supporting hardworking families. Our chairman, Gerald Levy, and CEO, Doug Levy, have always reinforced the importance of community in light of the bank's mission. Guaranty's dedication to helping customers achieve their financial dreams is demonstrated through a wide array of products such as our latest innovative solution, "Credit Builder," a $1,000 loan and savings product that is used to help customers build and repair their credit scores. We were proud to support MATC's VITA initiative and provide their clients with solutions that strengthen their overall credit rating."
Guaranty operates more than 120 branches in five states including Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois; and in Michigan and Georgia under the BestBank banner. As one of the top 10 supermarket banks in the country, Guaranty is firmly committed to serving hardworking families and providing customers with the most accessible and convenient banking experiences possible."

Cure, Reverse or Recover from Autism: Playboy Model Challenges the Medical World
Jenny McCarthy
Can a Vaccine Cause Autism
The purpose of this article is to show that women belong at home where they can cook, clean and have babies. As John McEnroe would say "You cannot be serious!" My answer is "not really."
Note autism can be prevented by pregnant mother and baby getting enough vitamin D. See Is Autism Caused By Vitamin D Deficiency. Also PubMed talks about the Vitamin D Deficiency Pandemic.
A woman was studying nursing in college and to pay for it, she became a nude model for Playboy Magazine. She became Playboy model of the month and Playboy model of the year. That was the end of her nursing career. She has blonde hair.
Jenny McCarthy (Jennifer Ann McCarthy) then went on to be a successful actress. I have an article about karma. Ms. McCarthy chose to get her child vaccinated. Before that she had a bright, happy son. Then after he was vaccinated he got autism that became worse and worse. This is called cause and effect. I saw her being interviewed by a newswoman. The newswoman said that doctors said that there is no evidence that vaccines can cause autism.
Also you can see a video of Bill Gates saying that vaccines do not cause autism. So who are you going to believe-- a blonde Playboy model and actress or medical doctors and Bill Gates? McCarthy made her living by entertaining people whereas doctors make their living from people being sick.
The New York Times has an article about a government case about autism and vaccines that is worth reading. It says:
The government has conceded that vaccines may have hurt Hannah, and it has agreed to pay her family for her care. Advocates say the settlement — reached last fall in a federal compensation court for people injured by vaccines, but disclosed only in recent days — is a long-overdue government recognition that vaccinations can cause autism.
"This decision gives people significant reason to be cautious about vaccinating their children," John Gilmore, executive director of the group Autism United, said Friday.
But this is not the end of the story. Jenny McCarthy cured her son of his autism. Although she says that he has completely recovered because if someone gets injured in an accident, they are not cured of their injury, but they recover from their injury. A test showed that the autism was cured. Since the doctors say that autism cannot be cured, they say that it must have been misdiagnosed.
In an article, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey say:
Autism is a debilitating disorder, which according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is suffered by 1 in 150 kids, making it more common than childhood cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined.
We believe what helped Evan recover was starting a gluten-free, casein-free diet, vitamin supplementation, detox of metals, and anti-fungals for yeast overgrowth that plagued his intestines [Casein is a substance in diary products]. Once Evan's neurological function was recovered through these medical treatments, speech therapy and applied behavior analysis helped him quickly learn the skills he could not learn while he was frozen in autism. After we implemented these therapies for one year, the state re-evaluated Evan for further services. They spent five minutes with Evan and said, "What happened? We've never seen a recovery like this."
McCarthy worked with Dr. Jerry Kartzinel, a nationally recognized pediatrician. Gluten is in wheat, rye, oats and barley. Many processed foods that do not have the above have small amounts of the above as additives or from the machines used. Most autistic children cannot break down the gluten leading to many problems. There are children who are simply gluten intolerant, known as Celiac disease.
As far as gluten in oats, information on the website of the Celiac Sprue Foundation says that the prolamin in oats, called avenin, does contain some of the specific amino acid sequences contained in gluten that trigger the autoimmune response, but in much lower amounts.
Autistic children usually get worse after stopping the gluten. But this is temporary like when an addict gives up drugs. Gluten can act like an opiate. Wikipedia says "In medicine, the term opiate describes any of the narcotic opioid alkaloids found as natural products in the opium poppy plant." Morphine is an opiate." Dairy can also act like an opiate. Dr Kartzinel says "80% of the children I see clearly benefit from removing foods that contain dairy and gluten!"
Chelation therapy is offered to patients who have laboratory demonstrated elevations of heavy metals including lead, mercury, and arsenic. The book to the right of this article, Healing and Preventing Autism: A Complete Guide , goes into this in greater detail. Amazon.com says:
Since early intervention is key to a successful recovery, McCarthy has teamed up with Dr. Jerry Kartzinel, the doctor who successfully treated her son, to write the first book to give parents all the necessary information about biomedical treatment. Beginning with diagnosis, Dr. Kartzinel explains the different therapies that he uses. He shows parents how to make simple changes to their child's environment and diet that can result in marked improvements and are safe and easy to try at home. And finally he explains some of the more advanced therapies that many doctors use today, and the way parents, alongside a qualified medical professional, can determine whether or not such treatments would benefit their child.
The third book above is about curing the 4 As, autism, ADD, allergies and asthma. His treatment is very similar to the one in the book by the pediatrician and Jenny McCarthy.
The Autism Research Institute (ARI) has an article called, Research: How to Prevent Autism Now. It says:
Although almost every article you read on this subject in the mainstream media states that all the studies have shown there is absolutely no link between vaccines and autism, that is simply not true. There is good science pointing to a connection (16) More importantly, there are thousands of parents of sick children who can tell you they had a normal child until he or she received several vaccines in one day or that their child was vaccinated despite being ill. Although more research needs to be done, these accounts by intelligent, observant parents cannot be discounted; to me, these reports are of equal or greater importance than ANY scientific study.
Dr Oz along with Dr Roizen have written a book called YOU: Having a Baby . It says:
But all seventeen childhood vaccines combined may carry serious risks for anywhere from 1 child in 2,000 to 1 in 10,000.
Vaccination is not the cause of the autism epidemic, but it may trigger autism in genetically susceptible children. We cannot currently identify such vulnerable children prior to vaccination.
Dr Oz has had a TV show about the above with different experts on the subject. They are in 7 parts and here is part 7. This part has Dr Bob Sears (MD). He says that the gluten-free, casein-free diet has greatly helped many children with autism, but it will not help everyone. This is one of the things mentioned above. On this, they call it a first step. He gives patients vaccines but has concerns with them. So he tries to give more time between them than other doctors do.
On a book review of the first book above, one guy had an autistic child that had no improvement for 8 years. Then using the suggestions in the book, his child recovered in 4 months. Another guy said that he tried it with his child and it made no difference. But whenever a doctor gives you a drug (that all haves side effects) they do not say it will work. They try it and if it does not work, they try another. If that does not work then they try another.
The doctors do not know why autism is increasing. Well I have 2 suggesiions. Not following these will make our society sicker. First stop genetically modifying our food. And most important, try your very best to not take any medication (drugs). All have side effects and many will be taken off the market for deadly side effects.
When money is involved with anything, there is a huge chance of corruption. People have heard stories of people trying to sell used cars. Vaccines are like used cars. They are something to sell and profit from. The same applies to drugs. You see all these advertisements for drugs. Keep in mind that the purpose of them is to make money.
Thimerosal is a preservative used in vaccines. It is 50% mercury. A great deal of blame for autism was placed on this including from Robert F. Kennedy. According to the CDC, thimerosal is totally safe but it has not been in any childhood vaccines since 2001. The only vaccine that contains it now is the multi-dose flu vaccine. The single dose flu vaccine does not contain it.
For more information on the danger of vaccines, see my article Do Vaccines Kill Infants. It tells which single vaccine is the most deadly. Also it shows how the more vaccine doses that a country gives to infants, the higher the infant mortality rate (IMR) of that country. The U.S. has the 34th lowest infant mortality rate. For more on a better way to raise children see my article How to Raise Happy, Peaceful Kids.
Ultimate Cause of Autism
The webpage under the 2nd picture above lists 10 possible causes of autism. But the latest research shows that a vitamin D deficiency reduces the body's ability to get rid of toxins. This article has information from Psychology Today, PubMed, Scientific American and other authoritative sources. See Are Cancer and Autism Caused by a Vitamin D Deficiency. Please note that Wikipedia says that there now is a vitamin D deficiency pandemic (widespread epidemic). Also the above and 2nd video below shows that "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" (by Ben Franklin who discovered electricity).
The Cure for Autism
Autistic Child Fully Recovered with Biomedical Treatment for Autism
For what it's worth, Dr. Oz told CNN in 2009 that his kids would not be getting the swine flu shot that year. He was not referring to vaccines for communicable childhood diseases. He stated during another TV show (I believe his own show) that his kids do receive vaccines but he spreads them out rather than giving several at once.
Also, you may want to change the caption under the Jim Carrey photo. He is not the father of Jenny McCarthy's child.
