We shared with you last week a story about Chrissie Swan speaking out and saying it is OK to be overweight. Read it here
Over the weekend Neighours star, Ashleigh Brewer who plays Kate Ramsay on the show, tweeted her disgust at the size of Chrissie's young children...
"This (Swan's pro-fat attitude) makes me furious ... You (Swan) are responsible for getting your preschooler to the point of needing to go on a (diet)."
She later backtracked on her comments, deleting the original tweet and issuing this apology" "I really admire Chrissie for going public with this and I hope that it makes other parents take action with their children's nutrition."
I think as mother's we ALL know that children are most likely to lose that baby fat when they start school. In my opinion Ashleigh is too young and immature to even realise that.
I don't think you EVER have a right to diss someone's child. It is just NOT on in my book! What are your thoughts? Does Ashleigh have a point? Or has she overstepped the mark?

i think it's chrissie and chrissie's husband's business they have said they are looking into getting things under greater control but yes miss brewer has overstepped, she doesn't know chrissie, doesn't know chrissie's children and certainly would not know their situation beyond what is published and being so critical on such a personal issue in such a public way is just horrid!

Well said!! I agree!! It is for their family and if need be, doctor to look into their weight and health!! Definately not for her, to so rudely & publicly state!!!! What has happened to having a bit of tact when speaking to others!!
She has overstepped well and truley. Sometimes when you have big kids it is because there are also big parents and genetics play a big role in our metabolism and various other factors that effect weight. It is not always a case of eating too much or the wrong food. Sometimes it can also be an undiagnosed food allergy or intolerance to blame and many other factors come into play.
Nobody except a trained doctor, dietician or nutritionist who is treating these people as individuals should make any comments like this because you just don't know the cause and often thin people may be eating more and less healthy.
leeannem72 said:OMG!!! Just who do these people think they are? I'm sure when Chrissie was asked to do a photoshoot for the magazine, it wasn't a story about her weight or that of her children. I'm sure she was unaware that it was a green light for unsolicited "advice" & comments from self righteous gossip mongers to have their say about her or her family. My comment to those that feel that their families are so perfect that if they were put under a microscope, no one would have anything negative to say about them, is " Who asked you? Mind your own business & get a life. Stop putting other mums down who are just trying to do the best job that they can!"
i so agree with what you are saying
i think maybe someone should put Ashleigh Brewer under the microscope you just have to google her name to see how much change has happened to her own face since she started to become a star maybe people should be asking her has she had plastic surgery and pri into her life i bet she wouldnt like it, Chrissie thank you for being just you, its amazing even my husband had his say his words were, if modern society/ and relegious folk can accept gays, cross dressers and the likes why not accept overweight people for who they are too, even he thinks that skin and bones are discusting, he wonders how they would be liked to be called discusting, he said give him nice shaped calf muscles and a sweet rounded face anyday not those sticks, and even muscle bound people and those that take good care of themselves can still have medical problems and yes even fat on them its just not as easy to see, look into peoples hearts who cares what they look like on the outside its whats on the inside that counts

Alica G, i am not buying into a myth. I am stating information i have researched and taken directly from my current studies in Exercise Science and Nutrition. I am certainly not so daft as to put a bold entry such as mine without having gone into it first. Children do not become that overweight if their only extra intake is through excess fruit. The body is equipped to deal with whole, natural foods and his natural fat break would kick in. He would simply become so full his body would hurt and it would be extremely unlikely that he would continue eating however high fat/sugar diets do not invoke the same natural body response until much later due to the make up of the bodies chemical response system.

Any excess calories are stored as fat. Excess calories are those that your body does not need for your activity level. Full is a factor of your stomach size. Your stomach stretches when you eat larger portion sizes. So, if you do have a habit of eating larger portion sizes, your stomach grows, and so you keep eating large portion sizes because you don't "feel full" without them. That is why lap-band prcedures are undertaken. The information you have researched is incorrect. The studies you have looked into do not take in the full picture of diet's relationship to exercise and sedentry activity. Please don't spread this information as it is harmful to the health of others. Excessive portion sizes fuel obesity, and denying that is dangerous.
I have a question have you taken into account other medical conditions such as not having a valve between the stomach and esophagus which also prevents you from feeling full unless you have had this medical condition yourself you would not understand and it would prevent you from having lapband sugery in the first place also children of that age they would not do this kind of sugery this is just one such medical condition to think of there are many out there and the reseach continues into dna there is alot us humans don't know so please stop judging people we are all humans and have feelings to
Yes she overstepped the mark in one instance she could have gone to Chrissie, one star to another privately instead of the way she did it, and did she ask if there was a medical reason for chrissie and her family being over weight (according to her opinion), i feel for chrissie as being over weight myself and tried all weight loss scams, some people just can't loose it as easily as others or they just simply don't have the money, or cant exercise due to medical problems, there are many reasons for people to be over weight (as the world would like to think that we are),(morbidly obese is what they call me, like im on deaths door and i only weigh between 122 to 130kg (i have seen people 3 times my size are they classed as dead people walking) ahh but i am alot of muscle, yes muscle with a fat overlay) and i eat reasonably healthy diet because of my medical conditions and according to three different diaticians, but we don't need people like you to judge us, we are getting sick and tired of medical people judgeing us we don't need others bringing us down as well, people like you and the media and i can honestly say even though we may have some weight on us at least we still look healthy not like those stick figures running around with their ribs and bones showing, so i say to the fasion people companies start making cloths that we can buy in a shop that dont look like potato sacks and you slim to skinny to bones people stop judging us
I am a slender pixie. My child is described as 'malnutritioned' by newcomers. Then they look at me and laugh and say "well but look at the DNA..."I find it exceptionally irritating that a) people comment b) my size is referred to as a guideline.My son has a problem... I don't know what it is, but I have been desperately seeking answers since he was 6 months old to no avail. It is unrelated to the fact that I am slender: he is more than slender. It does NOT make me feel any better for strangers to point it out to me.Small eats CONTINUOUSLY and consumes a well proportioned balance of foods.
Not only that.. he is now 5 and teased by his peers for being a 'baby'. He does not feel good about it.
So it is also very demoralising for him, for me to be addressed by others and asked if my Smalls (3 and 5) are twins. When I reply no, they comment on his size. In front of him. For example, twice in the space of 3 minutes in the queue at Target yesterday!
What? He has no ears? People don't mean harm, and often try to offer well meaning advice, but really it is none of their business unless I open the topic.
Poor kid. As if it's not bad enough me carting him to Drs and talking about him in front of him all the time :(
I don't see how Chrissie's kids can be entirely sheltered from such a public hoo har. How damaging and demoralising!
Sure, to me this family appear overweight. As an overweight (or underweight) woman, a Mum won't necessarily recognise that in her child or see diet, lifestyle or genes as an explanation. She will see the ♥perfection♥ in front of her regardless.Orrrrr she may have concerns and be stressing about and/or addressing it already, and having her offspring/parenting publicly dissed, regardless of the relationship with the person doing it, is just plain inappropriate.
It's not so much about brains, as about manners and thoughtfulness.
In Chrissy's position I do not doubt that she has access to good health care providers. If they had concerns they would already appropriately have addressed the issue with her.
Thereafter it is her choice as a parent how she chooses to raise her child, so long as she is not knowingly causing her child harm.
She definitely didn't word what she said very appropriately....
I agree with everything you said. Wise words all.

Happiness. Sadness. Fear. Anger. Disgust. Surprise. Those are universal emotions, and it takes five facial muscles to display each of them to the world. All humans have these muscles, but possession of other facial muscles seems to vary a great deal among individuals. Although 43 muscles have been identified in the face, it's not uncommon to have fewer. The complex process of identifying facial muscles and why their appearance is inconsistent is the real story here.
Counting facial muscles is not as easy as you'd think. In most body parts, muscles tend to be bulky, distinct and connected to bone. Facial muscles are flat, can be intertwined and may be fastened solely to skin. Thorough studies of facial muscles are done using cadavers, removing the skin to allow examination of the remaining tissue. It can be very difficult to measure muscle, because it, well, moves so easily, contracting or expanding when manipulated.
Once muscles have been individually identified, what is found? The universal muscles are around the eyes, across the forehead, along the cheeks, under the mouth and above the mouth leading down to the chin. These make it possible to relay messages anywhere in the world. No matter the culture, language, social class, politics or economics of a region, a smile signifies pleasure as clearly as a frown indicates unhappiness. Some of these muscles are also involved in eating, drinking and vision, so their use extends beyond exhibiting emotions. All five muscles seem to be present in all humans and are usually quite symmetrical.
Variations, however, have been found among "nonbasic" muscles (those not used for universal expressions). They are often intertwined, both physically and functionally, with other muscles. During fetal development they develop and differentiate slower than the universal muscles. Nonbasic muscles might be absent altogether in a person or, in the case of paired muscles, they might be markedly asymmetrical. Some of the common missing muscles include the risorius (retracts the sides of the mouth), the depressor septi (constricts the nostrils) and the nasalis (moves nasal cartilage).
The universality of some muscles, coupled with deviations of others, suggests an evolutionary aspect to facial musculature. Human development over time has ensured that important expressions can be understood despite geographical or societal differences. This still allows for individual and cultural variations.
While we have lots of facial muscles, some people want to suppress them to keep wrinkles at bay. A perfect job for Botox! (Don Murray/Getty Images)
The seventh cranial nerve, also called the facial nerve, controls our facial muscles. The nerve starts in the cerebral cortex and comes through your skull, stopping in front of your ears. It then branches off into five sections that affect your ability to move your facial muscles to make different expressions. Here are the nerve's branches:
- Temporal
- Zygomatic
- Buccal
- Mandibular
- Cervical
These nerves control 43 facial muscles, though some people have fewer facial muscles than others -- up to 40 percent fewer. This variation in the number of facial muscles in humans is a fairly new discovery. A 2008 study by scientists at the U.K.'s University of Portsmouth examined the facial muscles of cadavers and found that the gift of facial muscles has not been parceled out equally among all of mankind. In fact, the face is the only part of the body that has such muscle variation from person to person [source: Science Daily].
Facial muscles are the best tools we have to give visual clues that reveal our emotions, from happiness to sadness and everything in between. And the muscles aren't just for facial expression either. For example, they're also integral to speech: The muscles that control the lips help us form voices the rest of the world can understand [source: Voice & Speech Source].
And what about everyone's favorite expression, the smile? There's a lot going on behind our skin to make one happen, and it's impossible to know the exact number of facial muscles involved in a smile, so we'll analyze one that only lifts the corners of the mouth -- a minimal smile, for someone you don't like very much. To get that tight smile, two pairs of muscles lift the upper lip, while three other muscle pairs raise the corners of the mouth -- 10 muscles in all, just to give a strained smile!
Meanwhile, a mildly serious frown takes three muscle pairs: one to drop the lower lip and one to drop the corners of the mouth, for a total of six muscles. So it only took six muscles to produce a small frown; and in this case, frowning took less effort than smiling. But every person and expression is different, so perhaps it's better to just turn that frown upside-down and not worry about it.

Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee said a report on NBC's Rock Center that workers are paid less than minimum wage does not happen here.
Harry Smith reported on the program that some Goodwill locations pay workers with disabilities far less than minimum wage.
David Lifsey, the president and CEO of the local Goodwill, said that's not the case here.
Lifsey said each location is its own entity and sets its own pay structure.
There is a provision in the federal law that allows employers to pay workers with severe disabilities less than minimum wage, based on productivity.
Lifsey said Goodwill leaders here decided years ago they would not do business that way.
"Our mission is to provide employment and training for people who can't otherwise find that," said Lifsey. "Either they have a disability or something in their background that they've never learned to work and so that's why we're in business. So it just seems fair to pay folks for what they do."
Robert Guerard has been blind since the age of 7. He's worked at Goodwill for six years.
"I think it's a soul-searching thing," said Guerard. "It just does something for the soul, for a person to be working and make them feel good about themselves. That's what Goodwill provides."
Lifsey said all Goodwill workers in Middle Tennessee make $7.75 or more. The average wage is $10.41 an hour.

TEAMS: Minnesota Wild, Colorado Avalanche
ST. PAUL, Minn. Given the extra time afforded him by the NHL lockout, Mike Yeo has already spent half a year envisioning the type of lines and defensive pairings he can put on the ice for the Minnesota Wild. After the Wild's July 4 shopping spree netted Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, the two biggest names on the free-agent market, the second-year coach started scratching power-play units and shootout lineups on pieces of paper that have seemingly had time to yellow by now. Some saw the two free agents both signed to 13-year, 98 million contracts -- as saviors for a franchise that has missed the playoffs for four straight years. Yeo was able to see something else. He knew Minnesota already had the pieces to put around Parise and Suter, a roster that surprisingly gave the Wild the NHL's best record in December 2011 before injuries struck, good fortune wore off and Minnesota fell precipitously in the standings. Just take a look at the power-play groups Yeo could only dream about...

Customer Reviews
The photo has one Triplex and one Junior. Based on others feedback expected to see two Triplex lighters, but got two Juniors. Fill them - light up almost every time, don't leak, little smell. Not mentioned in description, but there is a useful place to store a spare flint. It is under a part with IMCO Pat. stamped on it (open the cover first), which you need to pull out a little.
Rather than one of each model as shown in photo, I received two of the models without the pull down flame adjuster as shown on the left. Still a good value as flints and wicks are tough to find for these incredible lighters.
excellent, every thing they have been reported to be will order another pair.
These are some really great lighters! Could they be better than a Zippo???.....
Nice. I filled the first one with kerosene because I heard that would work. Wrong. Filled the next one with gasoline. Works great. If you are scared of gasoline you can always buy lighter fluid but what fun would that be?

PLAYERS: Alfonso Soriano
TEAMS: Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees
TEAMS: Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees
The return of Alfonso Sorinao to New York did not go as planned. Soriano had plenty of chances to do damage against Tampa Bay but managed a lone RBI. Soriano, 37, was acquired by the Yankees early Friday and thrust into the cleanup role. In his first game with the Yankees Soriano finished 0-for-5 with an RBI and run scored. The Yankees fell 10-6 to Tampa Bay. The Yankees had Soriano playing left field on Friday night and he figures to see regular at-bats there until Curtis Granderson returns. He also should see time at DH in place of Travis Hafner. Soriano hardly put up numbers in his time with the Cubs this season hitting just .254 with 17 home runs in 93 games but the Yankees are gasping for straws at this point as further evident by Lyle Overbay hitting fifth tonight.

The authors define a two-axis transparency framework that can be used as a predictor of the expressivity of a musical device. One axis is the player's transparency scale, while the other is the audience's transparency scale. Through consideration of both traditional instruments and new technology-driven interfaces, they explore the role that metaphor plays in developing expressive devices. Metaphor depends on a literature, which forms the basis for making transparent device mappings. Four examples of systems that use metaphor: Iamascope, Sound Sculpting, MetaMuse and Glove-TalkII are examined and discussed in terms of implications on transparency and expressivity. The authors believe this theory provides a framework for design and evaluation of new human-machine and human-human interactions, including musical instruments.

Click here to download Kyle Hall's new mix for Resident Advisor. He recorded it to cassette, which makes it sound all crunchy and distorted and ill. The last time someone did this for RA (to my knowledge) was Scott Grooves, another Detroit DJ, and it was similarly brilliant (although that was basically mid 90's deep house and this is more techno/electro orientated). The effect it has on the music is that it makes the kick drums sound crunchy with distortion, which wakes me up to how powerful the humble, sometimes humdrum, kick drum can be in techno - a bit like a Kode 9 set I heard a few years ago recorded at FWD where Zomby's 'Tarantula' suddenly sounded vicious cos the kicks were reverberating off the walls floor and ceiling. The low-end distortion also does interesting things to the jazzy Detroit-techno synths, distorting and contorting them.

A salute to Wausau Community Theater for choosing Oklahoma! to open their 2011-12 season. If you can pull yourself away from a certain football game on Thursday night, you can catch the opening performance at The Grand Theater.
Why see Oklahoma ? Because it marks the dividing line in this uniquely American art-form. Before Oklahoma! a night of musical theater involved follies or reviews with short skits and singing and dancing that wasnt part of an overall connected story. Oklahoma! marks the bringing together of everything; a play with spoken dialogue, songs that move the plot forward instead of interrupting it, and the use of dance as part of the storyline. If opera, drama, ballet or vaudeville was your thing Oklahoma! had something in it for you. And we learned before its 2,200th Broadway performance was over that American theater-goers loved this type of storytelling.
This is also the project that brought Rodgers and Hammerstein together, sealing them as the most prolific creators of musical theater weve ever known. There is no one, before or since, who could craft a story around songs like Oscar Hammerstein, and Richard Rodgers gave him great material to work with. Without Oklahoma! there would be no South Pacific , no The King and I , no The Sound of Music . And those are the plays upon which Steven Sondheim, Cole Porter, and later Andrew Lloyd Weber built their works.
This is also the kind of production that Wausau Community Theater will do well with.
WCT has never had trouble finding good male and female leads. There are any number of WCT regulars whod be a fine Curly McLane or Laurey Williams. These are primarily singing roles, both with great, classic songs.
Oklahoma! has some of the most-sought-after supporting roles in the theater. We need a Auntie Eller who has spunk despite her age. We need a Wil Parker whos mastered a simple personality and complicated rope tricks. Ado Annie needs to be boy-crazy yet innocent. Jud Frey needs to be brooding, and not quite understand why some people are looking forward to his funeral. These are all fun roles that lend themselves to the talents that are in the stable of a solid community theater group.
Dont miss performances of Oklahoma! on Thursday at 6:30pm, Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm, and Sunday at 2pm.
Chris Conley
Operations Manager, MidwestCommunications-Wausau
I attended the Saturday night performance of Oklahoma! with my daughter. Here are a few thoughts on the production:
First, congratulations to Diane Kling. She's appearing in her first Wausau Community Theater production (and her first time on stage in 35 years), and she is perfect as Aunt Eller in Oklahoma ! She stitches the entire production together... and she handles her gun well at the box social. Every once in awhile someone like her steps forward and shares their talents with their friends and neighbors... and we are all richer for it. Talents are best when shared. Thank you, Ms. Kling.
There were many enjoyable performances.
You'll know about 10 minutes into Oklahoma! if a good Curley is on stage. Rob Rasmussen won me over by the second verse of Oh What A Beautiful Morning. He and Tom Bullman (as Jud Fry) put on one of the best smokehouse scenes I've ever seen.
It's somewhat unusual to have a singing and dancing Laurey. (Usually a ballet-trained double dances the wedding-dream sequence.) Lauren Weinrauch does both. She is a very talented dancer.
William Hebbe is appearing in his first Wausau Community Theater production in a decade. He was a delight as Ali Hakim.
Becca Wittek, a D.C. Everest High School junior, has lead-roles ahead of her if she keeps performing with Wausau Community Theater. She had the most fun as Ado Annie. The flirty, sassy girls often do.
Oklahoma! was a fun night at the theater. There's one final performance on Sunday at 2pm at the Grand Theater, and walk-up tickets will likely be available.

Sneak 'Superfoods' Into Your Diet
Think you don't like healthy foods? These tips could help change your mind
By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD
Reviewed By Cynthia Dennison Haines, MD
Do you love chips and ice cream and never let anything green pass your lips? Are burgers your staple -- and you wouldn't dream of having one without fries?
It's not just you. Many people eat too many of the wrong kinds of foods simply because they've never developed a taste for healthier foods such as salmon, broccoli, or yogurt.
And yes, old habits are hard to break -- but it's certainly not impossible. We spoke to health and nutrition experts who shared some tips on how you can effortlessly "sneak" super-nutritious foods into your diet.
What's a 'Superfood'?
Just about any health professional has his or her own "top 10" list of healthy foods. They often include berries, tomatoes, nuts, salmon, whole grains, low-fat dairy, eggs, dark leafy greens, beans and legumes, and sweet potatoes. You could also argue the merits of other foods, such as green tea, carrots, chocolate, alcohol (in limited quantities), olive oil, soy products, oranges, pumpkin, and turkey.
Steven Pratt, MD, author of SuperFoods RX: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life, includes these foods on his list:
Whatever particular foods you choose, lots of fruits, vegetables, dairy, nuts, beans, and omega 3- fatty acid-rich foods should be gracing your table, according to the experts and the U.S. government's 2005 Dietary Guidelines.
The challenge is working more of these super-nutritious foods into your daily diet -- especially if you are not a fan of their taste or texture.
But it doesn't have to be difficult, says Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD, co-author of Stealth Health: How to Sneak Nutrition Painlessly Into Your Diet. She recommends evaluating your favorite foods to figure out where you can make smart substitutions.
For example, she says, "if you love tuna noodle casserole, crab cakes or fish patties, substitute salmon for the seafood."
One of Tribole's favorites is tofu because it's so versatile.
"You can crumble it on chili, slice it thin in lasagna, or puree it and use it to replace half the cream cheese in recipes," she says. "Tofu is an excellent example of adding good nutrition without realizing a taste change."
Overcoming Food Biases
Preconceived ideas can cause people to turn up their noses before they even taste a particular food. Our taste buds evolve over time, and some foods just get a bad reputation.
Perhaps when you were a child, some cranky babysitter made you eat mushy broccoli, and ever since that day, it has not crossed your lips.
If you want to give broccoli (or any other food) another chance, consider the impact of the visual presentation. To prevent your food biases from kicking in, make sure the food is shredded, pureed, diced, or otherwise masked.
"Broccoli-haters are going to turn up their noses before the first bite hits their mouth if they see it on their plates," says Tribole. "Improve your odds of acceptance by changing the appearance and texture of the broccoli by shredding it to make a slaw."
One Change at a Time
Making changes in your daily routine can be daunting. But you don't have to eat all superfoods, all the time. Start small and make tiny dietary tweaks, one at a time, until they become healthy habits, advises nutrition expert and author David Katz, MD.
"Pick three things you can do each day, do it consistently, and it will become a habit," says Katz, co-author of the book Stealth Health: How to Sneak Age-Defying, Disease-Fighting Habits into Your Life without Really Trying. "It is the routines and habits that integrate good health into your life style that will result in health and wellness."
Something as simple as choosing a whole grain over a refined grain is a step in the right direction.
"Start with one change that comes relatively easy, and let the positive effects encourage you to make another small change and another, and another," says Katz.
If you don't like a particular food at first, keep trying. It can take some time before new foods get added to your favorite list.
"Research on children has shown that it can take as many as eight or nine times before an eating preference is established," says Tribole.
'Stealth' Nutrition Tips
Here are 15 tips, techniques, and ideas to help you sneak nutrition into your diet.
1. Blend it. Smoothies are a great way to blend fruit and yogurt into a cold, tasty snack or breakfast.

I know I haven't posted all week, but you may have picked up on the fact that I moved, so I'm laying the blame on the packing, moving, cleaning, working, moving some more, cleaning, thrift store runs, more moving...you get the idea. Unfortunately, I didn't get any welcome baskets, but instead several "hellos" and even an offer of help (though that came after the really heavy stuff).
However, I think that many of you will forgive my dereliction of duty when you watch this video from Charles Phoenix. It's pretty phenomenal. Not only is he surrounded by cute vintage ovens, but he surrounds pie with cake. Three times, in fact.
He's named his creation the Cherpumple. A three layer cake with a pie baked into each layer. You have to see it to believe it!
Charles Phoenix is pretty entertaining throughout. My favorite quote? "You don't want to be stingy with the frosting, ever, on any cake." Words to live by.
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! A few links to get you started: Food Bloggers of the World, Unite! - How I Bake - Refresh & Rethink. Then, learn a little more about me & my bakery adventures & scroll through the Recipe Index or monthly favorites above.

It seems like everything around me is crumbling
In this situation I'm afraid of so much. I still have thoughts of how it used to be and how angry sad and confused I was. How I used to shut myself down so that I could function. Those thoughts keep me up at night. They make my stomach hurt. I have anxiety attacks when I think of them. But I have an opportunity to have that again and I don't want to lose it. The same thing that used to happen is happening again. People in my life tend to put up barriers against me just for the fact that they want me to break them down. It almost feels as if the inner instinct that humans have to want to have authority over someone comes out from within when they are around me. But I continue to try. Even through the pain and sadness that I go through. The same pain that no one seems to understand or even care about. When it comes to me people will ignore their faults and focus solely on mine. That hurts. I guess the phrase "it takes two to tango" is false. But who cares. I know what I want and when my mind and heart decide they want something I will put myself through so much pain and sadness to get it. I want something so bad right now that it hurts. The pain I used to get in my stomach constantly are back. The bad dreams are back. The lack of an appetite are back. But I can't let it stop me. I want this so bad that I'm willing to put myself through this pain to get it. Most people would call me dumb. Tell me to just find something easier to accomplish. But easier doesn't always make you happier. So my mind is made up. You guys will see a lot of posts that will be very sad and angry. But I need a place to release the feelings that I feel in order to accomplish what I want. If I keep it in depression will come back. This journey will be hard. Long. Painful. Lonely. But I want it.
So who wants to give me some advice?
This feeling I've had in my stomach the past two days has been the most uncomfortable thing ever. I wish my mind would just say what it's thinking instead of falcon kicking me in the gut
So…..I'm going to quit smoking cigarettes. Smh. I need a replacement to calm my nerves. Who has some cocaine. Lol

I'm in need of being rescued. All heroes please apply.
A simple question to anyone who may knows the answer. Why do I always choose the wrong person?
Okay… Let's play your game…
Last summer I met a boy. We were dating, kissing, hugging. We were walking hands in hands, talking all day long. I guess I felt for him. However, from one day to the next we haven't talked again. I was looking for answers for long months. I was completely broken…
After 7 long months, somehow I got over him. I was telling myself that he was just another stupid guy who was just playing with me. I was telling this to myself as long as I finally believed it. It was really hard, I was lost, I pushed my friends, and I almost destroyed myself. BUT after those horrible nights, after those painful months I finally got over him.
We haven't really talked since then. But a week ago we were at the same house party. I think it was the best house party I have ever been. :) We were playing with each other, we were laughing all the time. And then he kissed me. It was totally weird, but I was a bit drunk so I didn't really think. I just enjoyed that night with him, I thought it would be just one night. Just one amazing night. We were acting like a couple, but it was totally alright.
HOWEVER, we're still talking every single day since then. He wants a serious relationship. He's soooo sweet, he really knows what to say a girl. :) But I'm afraid of him. I don't dare to believe him after last summer. How am I supposed to know that it won't be the same as last year? He is a real player, he had always been and probably always will be! But what if he's gonna change for me? He said he doesn't want any serious step until there's no real emotion. Okay, then let's continue this, and whoever falls in love first… loses!
HIS birthday was on the 7th, June, and it was also their first anniversary. He was begging me to celebrate with him. I wasn't exactly with him and with his group, but I went to the same pub with my friends so of course we met. It was totally awful, because his girlfriend was also there…
However he asked me to walk and talk a bit with him. We were talking for an hour…far away from that pub…where there was his girlfriend…on the day of their anniversary. We were talking about many things, for example their relationship. He told me that he is not in love with his girlfriend anymore, they wanted to break up several times and they argue a lot. He also told me that I'm the only person he can rely on and be completely honest with. We were talking about our first kiss at New Year's Eve, we were honestly talking about our feelings. It felt so good. He and me… just the two of us.. sitting and talking… But as every fairy tale ends, it also did.
Next day he wrote me. (Probably his girlfriend didn't like that he was rather be with me than her even on their anniversary…) He wanted to forget everything from yesterday and forget each other. I couldn't believe it. He told me everything I wanted to hear from him, and then he just wanted me to forget everything. I felt so angry, or I don't know what that feeling was. I know him like nobody else and I know exactly that every single word was true what he said. I wanted to tell him that I hate him, and he can't do this to me anymore, but I just wore "okay, then bye." And I blocked him.
For a couple of days it was pretty hard without him. I started to watch the most romantic films ever, because then it seemed I cry on the film, and not cry because of him.. :/:) Fuck logic… :)
One week after I've blocked him, he wrote an sms. "hey, I'm sorry that our relationship turned out this way, I've never wanted to hurt you. I hope you're okay and you're not so sad. I know that you won't answer, but I hope at least you're gonna read this. :)" I've read it, and deleted it. The next day he wrote me again. "Will we ever talk again?" And I didn't reply for this either.
Hey you wanted me to forget everything, to forget you. I'm trying. But what about you? Are you sure you want this? Are YOU able to forget me? :)
Can anyone tell me why would he want to be with ME and celebrate his BIRTHDAY with ME if we are just fucking "FRIENDS" ??????????????
I can't take it anymore…
You used to write me every single day and it was freaking me out. How the hell do I forget you if I "have to" talk to you every single day. On an other hand it gave me hope that maybe you wrote me because I still have a little chance.
Then when you didn't write me at all, it wasn't good for me either. It was like you're forgetting me.
Now you write me, but very rarely. I do believe that it's the worst. When I feel like I'm getting better and better without you, suddenly you send a message: "hey. we haven't talked for a while. how are you?:)" and I get to realize that I'm not getting better at all… And after every day like this I have to start everything again…
So at this point love me or leave me alone…!
Last night…
We were celebrating the birthday of my friend last night. All of my best friends were there and it started really good! We were laughing and drinking, I really enjoyed it.
I knew exactly that "HE" isn't there, but I still searching for him all night long. My happiness started to go away. I heard a slow song, which lyrics totally fit to our relationship, the way that I feel. I almost cried, but I really didn't want to, so I go outside. However, there was someone, who had exactly the same lovely smell as HE… It totally broke me down, I couldn't even hold back my tears. Will this ever be end???
I took this photo about myself by accident, but I love the colours of it. :))
I'm so tired of your bullshit…
Hate me, call me a bitch, talk about me, and think what you want. I do not care anymore. All of you are so double-faced. You rather hate me for who I really am, then love me for who I am not.
The funny thing is that honestly, I really do not care! I don't even give a single fuck about none of you. :D I completely deleted all of you from my life. :) And guess what? I'm totally fine and happy without you and your bullshit. :))

Grades of Withdrawal Pass "WP" or Withdrawal Fail "WF" will be assigned when a student withdraws during a semester and after the deadline to withdraw from a course without penalty, as indicated on the College Calendar. A student that is called to active military duty and must withdrawal from the college after the deadline to withdraw without penalty will be given grades of "WS".

Once a student has completed one semester with a minimum GPA of 2.00 or better, transferred classes will be place on the student permanent record. Transferred classes are recorded with a "T" (transfer credit) in place of merit grade. These classes do not factor in the students GPA. Students should have an official transcript from the institution(s) where courses were taken, mailed to the Registrar's Office. The Registrar's Office will evaluate all course descriptions. The Registrar reserves the right to request syllabus and/or additional information in determining course transferability.

Wednesday Wasn't the Best Day for Bill Ackman
Sam is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Wednesday was a big day for activist hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't particularly good for his portfolio.
Shares of retailer J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) plunged late Wednesday after The New York Post reported that CIT had stopped financing the company's small manufacturers, while Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) surged on reports that George Soros had taken a stake.
"J.C. Penney is having credit problems"
According to The New York Post's report, CIT no longer feels comfortable extending financing to J.C. Penney's small manufacturers. This decision was prompted by a meeting with Penney's management -- a meeting that left CIT uneasy with J.C. Penney's financial situation.
If that's the case, then the 10% sell-off in J.C. Penney shares would be justified. The company's upcoming quarter could be weak, and the retailer's very survival could be in doubt.
The New York Post's track record
But the J.C. Penney report remains only a rumor at this point, and The Post didn't even name its sources. Admittedly, the paper rarely does, and has a mixed track record when it comes to stock-related rumors.
Last August, The Post said both Electronic Arts and Coinstar (now Outerwall) were "attracting private equity interest" -- both companies remain public today. Early in July, it prompted a sell-off in shares of SodaStream when it reported that the company had tried (and failed) to sell itself. That created a great buying opportunity -- SodaStream rallied over 11% on Wednesday after reporting an impressive quarter.
Yet, it hasn't been all bad. To its credit, The Post said Saks was exploring a sale back in May -- the luxury retailer was purchased on Monday.
The Herbalife battle
But what's most interesting about the J.C. Penney rumor is that it comes on a day when Herbalife was getting squeezed higher.
Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is involved in both J.C. Penney and Herbalife. As of its last filing, his firm Pershing Square owned roughly 40 million J.C. Penney shares, nearly 6% of the overall portfolio.
Pershing Square also has a big bet against Herbalife. It's short 20 million shares, about 20% of the float. Despite the fact that Herbalife has more than doubled since its December low, Ackman says he still hasn't covered a single share.
The multi-level marketer moved even higher on Wednesday after CNBC reported that legendary investor George Soros had taken a big stake in the firm. Shares closed up more than 9%.
Stock manipulation?
But, according to Fox Business, Ackman is calling foul. His legal representatives have contacted the SEC, alleging that Soros' fund could be engaged in stock manipulation.
Soros' stake represents less than 5% of the company, so legally, he did not need to disclose it. However, Ackman's representatives believe that the Soros buy was done in concert with a large group of investors.
Also of note is CNBC's interview with Bob Chapman. He's been a harsh critic of Ackman for months, and his fund has been in and out of Herbalife stock since December.
In an interview on CNBC Wednesday, he predicted that Herbalife shares would go to $300, and that the company will inevitably get bought out.
Next up: Air Products
But Ackman hasn't lost his credibility yet. Shares of Air Products & Chemicals (NYSE: APD) jumped nearly 3% after he announced that the company was his next target.
Contrary to another New York Post rumor (claiming he was struggling to raise the money), Ackman bought up 9.8% of Air Products, stopping just short of the 10% threshold that would trigger the board's recently adopted poison pill.
In this case, investors might be looking at some of his more recent successes. Although J.C. Penney and Herbalife grab the headlines, they make up a relatively small percentage of Pershing Square's portfolio.
Half of Pershing Square's capital is tied up in Canadian Pacific and Procter & Gamble -- both of which have been big winners for Ackman. Shares of the former are up about 70% since Ackman won a proxy contest for control of the company; shares of the latter are up more than 30% since Pershing Square started accumulating a stake.
Without knowing his plans for Air Products, investors should not blindly follow him into the position. Nevertheless, even with J.C. Penney and Herbalife, Ackman's track record as an activist remains fairly solid.
Ackman's positions
There's a distinct possibility that the J.C. Penney rumor is completely bogus, and the stock is undervalued as a result. However, if it is true, investors should expect the retailer to report a disastrous quarter, and a further sell off is likely.
As for Herbalife, the stock has become completely divorced from the underlying business. With multiple hedge fund billionaires fighting over the company, playing it long or short could be a disaster.
Air Products might be another big winner for Ackman, assuming he can replicate his past successes in similarly boring companies like Canadian Pacific and Procter & Gamble. Yet, it would be better to wait for Ackman to present his case before moving in.
For the time being, investors might wish to avoid these companies entirely.
The best investing approach is to choose great companies and stick with them for the long term.
