That night I blurted "IregisteredforaDecembermarathonbutdon'tworryyoudonthavetocome," hoping Shawn wouldn't be too exasperated. Even though I was giving him an out, he worries about me overtraining and injuring myself. I also felt guilty that we would be "losing" a weekend to running yet again. As soon as he got wind of the beer-soaked afterparty, he decided he didn't want the reprieve. In fact, he once again embraced his role as ground support with gusto (so much that my fellow runners "awwed" when he handed off my supplies to me).
These guys finished fourth, fifth, and sixth, respectively.
Knowing I would see Shawn again at mile 20 helped. The course was also quite pleasant: every few miles, the scenery changed drastically. There were wooded trails, neighborhoods, and a path through the dunes of Cape Henlopen State Park. It was an out and back course, but it wasn't soul-crushing the way the Toronto Goodlife Fitness marathon was. In fact, because I like familiarity, it was nice to double back over the same terrain I had already covered. As I had predicted, the time I borrowed at a very high interest rate for the first nine miles with Emily came due with 6.2 miles to go. Those last miles were a test: like the Austin and Toronto marathons, the only thing that kept me running was knowing the faster I went, the sooner I'd be done.
Gun time/chip time discrepancy of about a minute.
Double-fisting it. (Kidding! Those are Shawn's. No alcohol for me!)
With my running inspiration/childhood best friend Emily
I'll be back to Delaware in a year for my triumphant return to marathoning. I just pray it'll be colder next time.

Can't Work at Work, Create at the Pub
There's an intriguing talk at TEDx by Jason Fried who argues that productivity isn't currently optimized at the workplace. He argues that M&Ms (Managers and Meetings) – not twitter nor facebook, as so many have argued – are the main detriments to being able to get some work done. He concludes with three main suggestions on how to get rid of those net losses at work. Here he is at work:
TEDx – Jason Fried: Why work doesn't happen at work
I found it quite compelling, but his argument about creative people was a bit incomplete. I too work in an office with a severe case of M&Ms, I loose an incredible amount of time by being interrupted and going to meaningless meetings. But, when it comes to being creative, it gets a bit more complicated. I think that what creative people need most is to be in their element.
For example, my buddy and I are creating a new web-based company/product – outside of my current job with the infinite number of M&Ms – and the way we discuss our project (in the way we are most creative) is by going to a local pub to talk about it deliberately. By being in our element, we can interrupt each other, be interrupted by the waitress or by someone who needs to squeeze through, but we feel comfortable and our brains feel free to create.
I do concede, however, that once we are done "creating", we need some uninterrupted time to write and fill the gaps. Fortunately for us, we don't yet have an office in which to work, so we do most of our labour in our respective homes with a bit of music, uninterrupted.

Note: keep an eye out for our new product, there will be much more to come on the subject.

"I want to do a variety of different styles," D'Rivera said. "Jersey City is a diverse community that appreciates jazz."
The next "Paquito Series" concert is on April 17, and it will feature a set titled "Rivers" inspired by the works of poets Jose Maria Eredia, Julia de Burgos, and Langston Hughes. "Rivers," composed by D'Rivera in 1998, is a combination of traditional American jazz with a Latin twist.
After "Rivers," the spring "Paquito Series" concerts will end May 8 with another D'Rivera original composition "Song for Peace." The show will feature soprano Brenda Feliciano.
D'Rivera brought saxophonist Oscar Feldman to his series's first concert on Feb. 27. More than 75 people attended the event. Feldman's quartet was smooth, entertaining and upbeat. They opened their set with a tribute to Duke Ellington. Feldman then played a couple of originals from his new album The Angel and swing standards as encores. D'Rivera jumped in a few times for electrifying clarinet solos. He controlled the clarinet flawlessly and Feldman's band responded to his vibe with unexpected improvisations.
"Feldman is such a good musician. More people should know his music," D'Rivera said.
Hudsonites will have to wait until the fall for the next D'Rivera concert series in Jersey City. This summer he will tour internationally with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and other musicians.
"The best part about my career is the opportunity to chat with other people," D'Rivera said. "The music business, with contracts and lawyers, is very boring. Once I play on stage, everything is perfect."
Child prodigy
Born in Cuba, D'Rivera's was a child prodigy, playing the clarinet and the saxophone with the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, where he premiered several shows by notable Cuban composers.
He was one of the founding members of the Orquestra Cubana de Musica Moderna and co-director of the innovative musical group Irakere. With explosive mixtures of jazz, rock, classical and traditional Cuban harmonies, Irakere created a unique sound. They toured North America and Europe in the late '70s, and D'Rivera earned a Grammy with the band. He would collect two more Grammies for the albums Portraits of Cuba and Tropicana Nights. He credits the works of Ellington, Benny Goodman and Dizzy Gillespie as his influences.
"I see myself as an ambassador of Latin jazz," said D'Rivera. "Everyday American music is more connected to Latin music."
His impressive discography includes more than 30 solo albums in jazz, bebop, and Latin genres. He has also headlined The Brooklyn, London, Royal and Florida Philharmonic Orchestras, the Bronx Arts Ensemble, the St. Luke's Chamber Orchestra, the Costa Rican National Symphony Orchestra and the Simon Bolivar Orchestra. His personal ensembles include the Chamber Jazz Ensemble, the Paquito D'Rivera Big Band and the Paquito D'Rivera Quintet
In addition to his extraordinary performing career, he has rapidly gained a reputation as an accomplished composer. His works often reveal his versatility and widespread influences, which range from Afro-Cuban to modern jazz. Last year D'Rivera was commissioned by The National Symphony Orchestra to coordinate a concerto for flutist Marina Piccinini under maestro Leonard Slatkin at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
In addition to music, D'Rivera enjoys writing. A few years ago he wrote My Saxual Life, published by Seix Barral from Spain. The book is an account of D'Rivera's journey from his homeland to life in America. This year he expects to finish En Tus Brazos Morenos (In Your Dark Arms), a fiction novel about Cuba's nightlife in the '50s and '60s.
"I like to write. There's a freedom in writing like in jazz," he said.
Jersey City Museum public relations manager Linda Onorevole is enjoying D'Rivera's company at the museum. "We were looking to start a music series in our new auditorium, and the first person I thought of was Paquito," Onorevole said. "The auditorium is a beautiful space and a great place to enjoy Paquito's music."
D'Rivera's talents will attract many people to the museum, Onorevole added. He has lived in North Bergen for more than 15 years. He likes the proximity to New York City and the community.
"I'm close enough to the jungle and still far away," he said.
The April 17 concert starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25. For information on the "Paquito Series," contact the museum at (201) 413-0303 or visit www.jerseycitymuseum.org. The museum is located at 350 Montgomery St. For information on D'Rivera visit www.paquitodrivera.com.

Crystal Shards are a placeable crafting material which may be naturally found in the Underground Hallow on Pearlstone surfaces, requiring a Hammer to harvest. They come in several different shapes and colors before they've been harvested. After being harvested, however, their inventory image is always that of a purple crystal. Placing Crystal Shards will result in randomly-colored versions, in a manner similar to the randomized graphics created when placing Books and Coral. Crystal shards give off a very small amount of light and brightens occasionally, which makes them somewhat easier to find. The light it emits depends on the color of the crystal.
They do regenerate, so one may mine without fear of depleting their world's supply. It is possible to build a Crystal Shard farm, by making long rows of Pearlstone underground one block wide, three blocks between. Since their spawn rate is low, however, a significant size is needed for it to be productive. With Holy Water this can be achieved anywhere in the underground. With these farms (or just going around in the underground hallow) you can make a lot of money due to its high selling price of 16 silver.

Creaciones Chonita, located in a town on the coast of Lake Atitlan, is an artisan group known for its creative new jewelry designs. Concepción Sojuel Mendoza and her son-in-law Domingo Reanda Xum direct this artisan group of widows and young women. When the group makes a profit, they save part of the money in a scholarship fund for the education of their children. They also give basic living supplies to elderly widows, and support the medical expenses of all members as needed.
Creaciones Chonita was started in 1981 by Concepción Sojuel Mendoza, an indigenous woman who lost her husband in the violence of civil war and needed to find a way to support herself and her children. Through the years this family-run business has expanded to provide work at fair wages for many widows and young women of the community.
Ten Thousand Villages purchases beaded jewelry, hackey sacks and other beaded items from Creaciones Chonita. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Creaciones Chonita since 1995.

Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
Series: Miracles and Science
In this five section series, Ard Louis explores the relationship between science and miracles. He indicates the self-imposed limitations of science to discover knowledge while warning against the God-of-the-Gaps explanations. Then, he explains the two types of miracles seen in Scripture: those that are divine timing and those that are violations of the natural. Overall, God sustains natural processes, but, as the master composer, he has the ability to perform miracles as well.
On Reading the Cell's Signature
We sent biologist Francisco Ayala a copy of Stephen C. Meyer's Signature in the Cell and asked him to respond to our reflections on the book.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Seeking a Signature
In this article, Venema offers his review of Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell.
Defining ID
The topic of Intelligent Design (ID) comes up frequently here. Because ID can be hard to pin down, it's worth pausing to remind ourselves what we're talking about when we use the term on this site.
Evolution and the Origin of Biological Information
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.

Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
Awe in Science
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Science and Faith on a Secular Campus
While many Christian colleges actively seek to help their students engage issues of faith and science constructively, few secular colleges are active in promoting the conversation. As a professor at a secular school, how can I encourage my students to authentic engagement and dialogue on science and faith issues?
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Series: David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Not only are evolution and biblical faith compatible, but committed Christians have been at the forefront of evolutionary science ever since Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859. This series looks at David Lack, an ornithologist and devout Christian who contributed greatly to the understanding of Darwin's finches.
The Beauty of Being a Scientist and a Christian
I am a Christian. I believe that God is the ultimate reality and that the world, including me, was created by God. But this is not just an idle affirmation, a faith statement to be recited in church on Sunday.
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.

text: Day 1: Madrid to Seville Departing Madrid bright and early our first stop is the beautiful town of Cordoba, with its beautiful architecture, candy cane striped stonework and incredible central Mosque. Then it's on to stunning Seville - centre of Andalucian culture and famed for its 'sevillanas' Flamenco bars, iconic plazas and sexy southern style. On arrival we'll explore the city with an orientation walk to the imposing Alcazar Palace before free time, when you can wander the sun dappled streets or join our optional walking tour to explore the city the way only the locals know how. Then it's time to head out in to the evening to discover the traditional food, drink and nightlife of this amazing city with our trip mates. Day 2: Seville to Lagos Spend the morning checking out the city and the local cuisine, then from sumptuous Seville we head to laid-back, fun loving Lagos as we cruise in to Portugal and the awesome Algarvian party capital. Wicked beaches and some seriously great bars and clubs make Lagos famous across Europe, and after check in it's on to the lively old town for some local cuisine before an evening checking out the bars and hedonistic clubs that make this a true partyers' paradise. Day 3: Lagos Lagos is yours for the taking today – choose from sea-kayaking your way through the Algarve Grottos, rock-climbing or surfing the deep blue waves.

Georgetown and the Hemisphere
Nicholas and Jean Jacques Fevrier entered the college April 17, 1792 from the French West Indies. Note that the bill was paid in part by a barrel of Muscarado sugar, and a supply of coffee. The first Hispanic student, Francisco Ignacio DiAyala entered November 15, 1793.
DuBourg was born in Sainte-Domingue but came to Georgetown from France from which he fled five days before a Jacobin raiding party murdered four of his seminarian instructors. Note that not all our Presidents have been Jesuits.
Dr. Ashford is credited with eradicating hook worm from Puerto Rico.
Some may remember Ambassador Asencio's "grace under fire" when held hostage for 61 days in Colombia.
A significant portion of the Latin-American diplomatic corps attended the inauguration of Georgetown's Latin-American Students Association, including the representatives of Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Panama, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Costa Rica.
Now that's a field trip.
Manger served as Assistant Secretary General of the Pan American Union and the Organization of American States, as well as Professor of History at Georgetown. He is shown here ( right) with Fernando Lobo, Ambassador of Brazil to the Organization of American States, after the Ambassador presented him with Brazil's " Ordem Nacional do Cruzeiro do Sul".

Make-your-own costumes...what comes to mind? Sewing, elaborate, taking lots of time? It doesn't always have to be that way, right?!
Many costumes can start with a sweatshirt or a box. My favorite costume was in 4th grade; I was a pair of dice with my friend Kerry. She and I painted the boxes, pasted on paper dots, and wore tights and a turtleneck.

Narnia Readalikes
We all know why it is good to read to children under 5 - it helps lay the groundwork for a successful experience in school (and life!). In order for young children to be strong readers, they need to be read to. As kids get older (and busier) it is harder and harder to find time to read those looooooong chapter books. There are a great many benefits to continuing to read to your older children! It contiunes to build their vocubalary, it strengthens their listening skills and most importantly, it provides time for you to bond with your children.
Here are some titles from our collection to help you get started. Remember, everyone has different personal values and your children's maturity levels vary, so we recommend that you read the books yourself before sharing them with your children.
For recommendations of books to read to your baby, toddler or preschooler please go to our First Five Years section for book lists.

M&S's Illinois-based service removes the barriers to effective communication.
Niles, IL (PRWEB) January 31, 2013
With Technical Support and Customer Service headquartered in Illinois, M&S Technologies, the first name in computerized vision testing systems, champions an all-around superior experience for the customer. For over 20 years, the decision to remain local has removed those barriers to effective communications that are occurring across many industries who have tried to reduce costs by delegating service and support off-shore. All of M&S Technologies' service personnel can be reached "live" to provide direct answers and reduce (or eliminate) wait times. Furthermore, the Service and Technical Support personnel have direct access to the Research/Development and Operations departments, a link which has proven invaluable for achieving a timely, accurate response to customers' issues. In addition to a quality experience, this means American jobs and American commerce.
"We understand the importance of servicing our customers as quickly and completely as possible. Additionally, we're taking full advantage of the talent and expertise that exists right in our own backyard.

DieCrypter is Tactical Stealth Action Co-Op game.
You take on the role of a Human Being, who has been preserved in NEKUR like everyone else and given their own Avatar... The Avatar this user was given, has became glitched for an unknown reason, whether it was on purpose or not is not known. This glitch, has somehow altered the Humans psyche and as a result, has caused him to go berserk.
The player(s) must navigate the antagonist, DieCrypter, through the game world without being killed by enemies.
The emphasis on stealth promotes a less violent form of gameplay, as fights against large groups of enemies will often result in serious damage for the player(s).
Cooperative gameplay (often abbreviated as co-op) is a feature that allows players to work together as teammates against AI opponents. Playing simultaneously allows players to assist one another in many ways: passing weapons or items, healing, providing covering fire in a firefight, and performing cooperative maneuvers such as boosting a teammate up and over obstacles.

This headboard was just as described. It is very attractive, easy to assemble and was exactly what we were looking for. Would suggest checking your height measurements on the wall of your room because especially in a king size as it does cover a lot of wall space.[...] have already recommended this site to some friends.

Made in Alaska: Inside Alaska Wildberry ProductsAlaska Wildberry products started as a small buisness on the Homer SpitANCHORAGE- Alaska Wildberry Products started as a small shack on the Homer Spit selling jams and jellies. Sixty years later it's known for chocolate. "Everyone loves it," said Dwayne Guerr, general manager. "Everyone loves to come down here and watch us make the candies. It's true made in Alaska, made in America." But before the tasty treats can hit the shelves the chocolate concoctions are stirred up in the kitchen. 20 years of taste-testing has cured Long of any chocolate addiction he might have had. "After a time it becomes rough to want to eat it every day." The handful of kitchen staff makes 150 types of candy. "Two of us can make 18,000 jelly centers in a day," said Long. The next day always brings something different. "It's a fun job. You're not doing the same routine day after day. It changes, the fast pace. You're never bored. You're always busy." The candy keeps the kitchen crew on the move. In just a week they'll make nearly 10,000 pieces of caramel alone. "Our candies, we don't have machines that make it for us," said Long. "We actually have to stir the kettles and make it. We pour it on the tables. A lot of it is all hand cut." Valentine's Day is Alaska Wildberry Products' biggest day for selling candy and winter is its biggest season. |

Fontoura Sworn In For Eighth Term
Sheriff took oath Wednesday morning at Veterans Courthouse for record-setting term.
Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura was sworn in for a record-setting eighth term Wednesday morning at the Veterans Courthouse.
Fontoura, 69, has served as the Essex County Sheriff since 1990, but he has been involved in the county's police force long before that.
Fontoura began as Newark police officer in 1967, and eventually rose through the ranks to become a captain and then chief assistant to the police director. In 1986, he became an Essex County Undersheriff, where he served until he was appointed sheriff in 1990.
He won re-election in November after defeating challenger Orlando Mendez, garnering about 91 percent of the votes cast.
Lenny Testa
2:10 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
Mr. Fontoura, Best of luck and continued success.
Rudolph Krystal
2:10 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
What a guy !
Fontoura is the dean of double-dipping sheriffs, cashing $1.14 million in pension checks, while drawing a salary during the past 22 years.
"Does it look bad? Yes. No question about it, it looks bad. Was it legal? Yes," Fontoura told NBC 4 New York. "I didn't do anything illegal," said Fontoura, who "retired" at age 47 but never left the payroll of the Essex sheriff's office.
Yearly Total $200,221 = Salary $137,917 + Pension $62,304
Should make everyone feel ill for the Holidays.
12:41 pm on Wednesday, January 2, 2013
Dont blame the sheriff, blame the people who keep relelecting the sheriff. Apparently he must be that good that they keep reelecting him.

Our Lutosławski centenary celebrations continue with two major works of crucial importance. The virtuoso fast-reflexes of the Concerto for Orchestra form a blazing climax to his early period and mark a new fascination with Bartók and the musical potential of indigenous folksong, while the glorious Cello Concerto (1970), commissioned originally by the Royal Philharmonic Society which is celebrating its 200th anniversary this year, was composed during a time of great political unrest in Poland.
Throughout this series the music of Lutoslawski is paired with that of Debussy and Ravel, both composers whom meant so much to Lutoslawski; and whose delight in colour inspired him throughout his life. Debussy's principal aim in La Mer was 'to create a mysterious harmony between nature and the imagination'; something that clearly had a vital impact on Lutoslawski's own creative thinking.

18. Living with Hypothyroidism and its many side effects as best I can. Sometimes iI whine and complain, sometimes I'm frustrated, sometimes I'm okay. I'm also a teenager with plenty of other things to deal with. So read on! (if you dare)
Did you think I forgot about you? (ok idk who I'm referring to in "you" exactly but we are just going to roll with, okay?) Well, I have most certainly not forgotten.
Let's talk about some of the things that have been on my mind lately/today.
When I am in a bad mood I feel so "fat." I can feel every area of skin on my body that folds or rolls, it feels like the tiny bit of extra skin under my chin (most of which I think is just how my face is and nothing to do with my weight) becomes a massive, heavy double chin like something out of a cartoon. And that's the thing, the way I feel when I'm tired, angry, sad, etc is cartoonish. It's exaggerated and blown way out of proportion in my mind.
I know this because when I am in a good mood, when I have just worked out, when I'm with my friends, when I'm wearing an outfit that makes me feel stylish and attractive, I feel great! I feel beautiful, vibrant, and happy.
It's not a secret that I am far from skinny. I wear a size 16 jeans normally (shocking I know). But when I am feeling good this doesn't bother me. In fact there are plenty of times when I will look at myself in the mirror and think "you know what, I'm not perfect, but what's so great about being super skinny?"
Of course both sides of this metaphorical coin are a little skewed. I am not huge, nor obese, nor unhealthy. However, there are of course benefits to being thin. I have a hard time feeling comfortable in a t-shirt alone for example. I am always worried about my stomach showing etc, which is of course a problem thin people don't have.
In my latest Glamour magazine there was an article about if one can be over weight and healthy. I know that I am healthy. From blood tests I know my cholesterol and all those other things are perfect, my blood pressure is normal etc. I know that its the HT that makes me overweight, not so much my food or activity level (both of which I work pretty hard to keep healthy).
And so I got to thinking about some things that are often brought up about ideals of beauty in society today. Why is being skin and bone desirable? Sure super skinny girls can look good in their size 0s but, I have a hard time understanding why this
and this:
became more desirable than this:
or this:
I don't want to make any judgements about what is healthier etc. But my point is just that, I have felt lately that I have to come to terms with how my body looks right now. Do I want to lose some weight? Of course! Would I rather be a size 8 than a size 16? Hell yeah! But that doesn't mean that I can't be stylish and happy now as well.
I don't know if this post makes any sense at all. It's just a jumble of thoughts I had to get down.
See I'm not always unhappy about my life even if I am always a little angry fate gave me HT.
So I suppose that is all folks!
Au revoir!

We liked this recipe but the dressing has way too much canola oil for our tastes. I couldn't even taste the red wine vinegar and it has a strong flavor. This salad is very healthy and will try it again with less oil!

The 24-hour United Way of Greater Rochester's online ROC the Day campaign has surpassed last year's giving total.
The campaign is a chance to support non-profits in the nine-county Greater Rochester Area. Donors select from 700 agencies on the ROC the Day website.
Last year's campaign raised more than $567,000. That amount was surpassed with more than an hour left in the 24 hour campaign.
The MCC Foundation is one of the agencies to consider donating to. It connects private and corporate donations to support MCC and its students.
"I say all the time if you believe in philanthropy, you believe in all philanthropy. I think that is what the ROC the Day is about is expressing in the community how much individual people can make a difference. This is a remarkably generous community so we expect 12-12-12 is special day and everyone will ROC the Day today," said Diane Shoger, MCC Foundation.
"When gifts come in, we can double the amount and make the most of these gifts. This is really an unbelievable opportunity that the United Way provides to agencies around town to make a really big impact on a day like today," said Naomi Silver, MCC Foundation board member.
Last year's campaign raised more than $567,000. This year they reached $875,000.
