For most of her life, Doris didn't worry much about her health. Then at 67, she was diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure. She tried to follow her doctor's advice to take her medications, exercise, and eat better. But often she was tired and even a little depressed. "I figured it was just part of getting older," she recalls.

Because I can't find my motivation! Getting back into the right state of mind to work out is always difficult, but no one can do it for you. Sometimes, you have to create your own motivation and excitement! Today, I begin the second 3-month cycle of Turbo Fire! I did have some good results the first time around, but this time around, my coordination is better and I am a new and improved me. If I started even heavier and out of shape, I can't wait to see where I'm at 3 months from now :)
Wish me luck!
It's been a crazy 3 weeks! I know, it's inexcusable, but I have a sprain in my right foot and therefore have taken some time off from working out. I was quite bummed about taking time off from working out because I have come so far. I am stubborn. I know that I am prone to developing sprains & stress fractures so I know that I have to be extremely careful to not go too high impact when I'm working out, yet I got carried away at times and went more high-impact than I ever should have because the fact of the matter is that I am overweight and until I have lost a bit more weight, I can't go high impact. It's a bit of a catch 22 because in order for me to lose weight, I have to do a high intensity workout and although high intensity doesn't mean high impact, the low impact stuff is usually still a bit high impact. Because I'm overweight, the high intensity stuff ends up catching up with me and I develop a sprain or stress fracture in the process and then I'm out if commission for anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months or longer.
Basically, I have to eat extremely clean and healthy and watch the calories I take in under a microscope. Well, here I am, at the tail end of the 12th week of my challenge group for Turbo Fire, and I can't finish without risking being set back another month. Although I will continue to move forward by eating clean and I will do a substitution workout, I plan on starting this 12-week process over again soon and look forward to doing so!
Tonight will be my first workout in 3 weeks and I'm excited, but I have to monitor my pain level and make sure not to overdue it :)
I am a generally happy person. I love my family, I have a very wonderful relationship, I have great friends, and am lucky enough to have a full-time job that I like. I try not to worry about politics or let whatever negative goings-on in the world affect me. If anyone has a problem with this and tries to disrupt the peace, of course I'll bite back. Don't back me into a corner by bullying me and expect me to just sit quietly and take it. Just saying. Don't ever let someone bully you into a corner. Speak up and stand up for yourself. Nothing changes without an effort made.
Ok, so here's the thing: there is no such thing as a miracle pill, miracle diet, or anything of the sort. I have tried several so called "miracle" remedies to lose weight but in the midst of all of it, I've found that the only effective way to get fit is to simply exercise and eat healthy. A big tool in reaching a fitness goal (and probably the most important part of the equation) is to have patience! There is no magical diet or pill that will get you to your goal in a healthy manner. Of course, there are supplements that will aid you in reaching your goals, but the only way to get fit and be healthy is to get up and burn calories and to monitor your caloric consumption!
I have tried quite a few fad diets, and none of them helped me to get healthy. Sure, I lost weight, but it wasn't without putting myself in danger.
I have found that I have a harder time losing pounds but a much easier time turning fat into muscle. In fact, if I'm not careful, I become bulkier than leaner. Basically, I try to do a good mix of cardio and muscle toning exercise to prevent becoming too bulky. Over the past 8 weeks of my Turbo Fire challenge group, I've slowly started to shrink proportionally but didn't really see any "weight-loss" until the past few days. I've been told over and over to base my results more so on the way my clothes are fitting than what the scale says, and it took me 8 weeks to train my brain to do so.
Basically, it's taken me 2 months to start to really see any results. It's difficult not to give up and call it quits when you don't have the PATIENCE to stay motivated and keep pushing forward.
Give your body time to change. It won't happen overnight, and I guarantee that if you just stick with it, you'll be so glad you did in the long run! Be patient and stay strong! If you want to get in shape and be healthy, there really aren't any shortcuts. Anything worth having takes time and effort and you'll get there.
A daily necessity! I drink shakeology every day and I'm sure there are skeptics out there…I was one at some point. I have it a try and there's no going back. Need that shakeology!
So, no video tonight because I was out for date night with Jared, however, you get a blog entry!
I had a conversation with my doctor a few weeks ago about depression because I had been having really frequent mood swings at the time and he made a very good point. I asked him if depression was normal every now and again. "Depression is an illness and no illness is normal. Is it normal to get sad or stressed out from time to time? Of course. Depression is an illness diagnosed by a psychiatrist. So, no. Depression is not normal."
I do have mood swings more frequent than that of a normal person, however it's nothing I've ever seen a specialist about. I try to find better, healthier ways to cope with moodiness.
Today I had an epiphany. Ever since I've started working out and cut crap out of my eating habits, specifically fast food, and started drinking Shakeology every day and working out, I have felt emotionally stable for the first time in quite a while. I remember watching "Supersize Me" and Morgan Spurlock noticed his sex drive had over time become non-existent and he just felt unhappy. Not sick, just not…good.
I've come to the realization that I'm not only becoming healthier physically, but I think even more so mentally.
Of course, there are several factors to consider to live an overall happy and healthy lifestyle, but a big way you can help yourself not only feel better physically, but mentally, is by eating healthy. It took me about a month to get to the point where fast food just didn't sound appetizing anymore. I got into the habit of cooking my own food and eating at work (we have an employee dining room and there are always healthy options) more frequently and I very rarely go out to eat. I try to plan my meals out for the most part.
So, in closing, try to take baby steps toward changing your eating habits. If you're out and about, choose wisely and before you pick up a Big Mac on the way home, consider that those calories are just going to set you further back from your fitness goals and it will be easier to go home and cook a healthier alternative than it will be to work the unnecessary calories from that burger off later on.
Think before you eat!
Stay Fit!
Your fitness journey is your own and always remember that! You can do it!
So, a friend of mine was telling me today that some psychic had predicted that Lady Gaga would die this year and although I usually don't buy into that crap, I did the math and realized that if somehow mother monster passed away after her birthday in March, she'd become another victim of the 27 Club. It was weird because today was the anniversary of Heath Ledger's passing and he also died at the age of 27 and my friend who told me about the Lady Gaga prediction didn't know that. Very strange. I guess the psychic who predicted this also predicted Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston's deaths correctly. Pretty morbid and ironic. Just my thoughts. Again, I usually don't buy into this crap and I love Lady Gaga. I just thought the timing was so ironic to have had this conversation.
Just because :)
Sorry my face is so lopsided hahaha. I was lying down in bed getting ready to fall asleep.
So tonight is my recommendation of an free app called My Fitness Pal and it's free available in the Android market or the Apple App Store. You can connect with me on there. My username is Jillovely.
I hope you all check it out!
Stay fit!

Shiny Shiny brings us the latest in feminized gear: a pink heart-shaped guitar for Guitar Hero. Okay, I get that some folks like the color, but can I just say I'm so incredibly sick of products being marketed towards women simply by slapping some pink on them?
I mean, there's pink laptops, tools, websites, iPods, pocket knives – even cigarettes! The pink madness has to end. In fact, I think one of my new year's resolutions will be to avoid all things pink (with the exception of cotton candy Jelly Bellys – I love those things).
What's your least favorite pink (or otherwise gendered) product?
101 Comments
I would be so psyched if actual heavy duty, usable tools and power equipment came in rainbow colors!!!
Yes! I've encountered that also! I remember when my daughter was about 6 months, she was in a blue onesie, and someone commented on what a cute boy she was. My father (who was holding her) seemed so offended! I was just like, she's in blue, that's the natural assumption. No worries, lol.
As a follow up to Mamma Mia's contribution, has anyone see the 'Lil Cricket? The pink rifle for, you know… Women.
Marib Aum brought this up above with the pink kettlebells.
WHY is everything that supports breast cancer research pink?
As if males aren't affected by the women they love getting breast cancer?
As if males themselves aren't afflicted with it sometimes?
What if I want the manufacturer to donate 10 cents to breast cancer but I want the green water bottle instead of the pink?
I understand it is an "awareness color", like red for HIV/AIDS, but in our culture, pink means a lot more than that, especially when it is regarding a disease that primarily affects women. Do we really have to gender the show of support and awareness for a deadly disease?
While I do love my sparkly pink vibrator, the pink trend is too, too much. The whole Victoria Secrets line is too much for me. But what I find most ridiculous as a feminist are the car products for women. I found a pink lunchbox roadside emergency kit for women (er, "smart girls"). Included in the kit are: matches, a candle, instructions on how to change a tire (okay, that's good), a thermal blanket, cotton swabs, lip balm, and a nail file. All pink.
I love pink!!!! It's one of my favorite colors, gee whiz, oh boy!
And I'm still a raging anarchist feminist! Who would thunk!

I can still remember my disappointment when I was a young girl because my Mum flat out refused to buy me a pink plastic toy cleaning set (mop, dustpan and brush, hoover, etc, iirc).
Now I am so pleased that she steered me clear of everything-must-be-pink and little-girls-should-start-cleaning-early toys. It was so the right decision!
I can't think of one thing in particular that I don't like seeing in pink (except maybe matching luggage sets). But I second the horribleness of the overwhelming pinkness of the girls toy aisle, and the stupid way they make pink versions of computer gadgets and think that's tapped the other 50% of the market. Wrong on so many levels.
Have you all seen the wonderful Petticoat 5 Computer for Women comedy sketch from Look Around You?
One thing I always found irritating abput girl-pink products is that they're always the same etiolated washed out pepto bismol pink. It's a sick colour, weak, like diarrhoea medicine. I hate this pink. Give me a pink with some intensity, dammit! That guitar actually has a decent design; at least that pink isn't weak. I would prefer a pink guitar that wasn't heart-shaped, but eh.
haha, you know something funny…the only pink clothing I wear outside the house is a flaming pink neck tie. :]
Or that atrocious "University of Pink" line by Victoria's Secret.
I go to Simmons [a women's college] and there's a Facebook group advocating for Victoria's Secret to make stuff for our college like they do for BU & Harvard and ugh, shoot me.
I struggle with this… of course I agree that all the pink stuff is infantilizing, etc, but damnit, I LIKE the pink stuff. Whenever I got my last cell phone, camera, iPod, etc I really struggled because I actually want the pink one, but I don't want to look like an asshole. I don't buy pink tools or anything that is actually inferior to the non-pink version, but I do have a pink iPod…
A nail file? Seriously? I mean, I guess it could be handy for, I don't know, jamming a lock or something.
(Oh, and lip balm? I guess it would be handy if you were stranded at sea for days, but then again, so would sunscreen and that's not included.)
My main one has already been mentioned, but it bears repeating since it really steamed me last Christmas. Go to NFL.com and check out their shop, choices for women, specifically the Browns. The first things I saw were a long-sleeved shirt, style name "Bling Diva". Second thing, a white T-shirt with ever-so-curvy "Browns" and style name "Sparkle Queen". You also can get your Browns jerseys in pink, yellow, baby-blue, or a fuschia type color. If you want a real jersey in real team colors, you can get them, but only for quarterbacks or wide receivers – and of course Jim Brown, but I don't know how the other teams fill that type of void. In the men's section, you get easily twice as many players' numbers, and the only things that are NOT in the team's colors are Superbowl-colored. There are only two jersey styles for women – Home and Away, but men get the additional choice of "Alternate".
In the Boys' section, they get the same choices as the women. But the little girls get one choice – the quarterback. You know who gets the same choices as girls? INFANTS. "Youth" gets more number choices than women! But hey, they don't get PINK, or FUSCHIA, so that's okay then, right?
EVEN CONSIDERING the extra colors that are available for women (pink! fuschia!), the number of jersey choices for men are double, if not more. Baltimore, 34 for men, 16 for women. Browns 42 for men, 23 for women. Chicago 63 for men, 18 for women (one third). Miami a shameful 24 for men and only 4 for women. One sixth. Actually it's even more shameful than that. See, they always include the pet jerseys (3 of them) under both men and women. So yes, if you're a Miami Dolphins fan, your DOG actually has more jersey style choices than you do! And men have 21 times as many choices.
Needless to say, I did NOT buy anything.
I would like to hear more about this "computer science for women" class, at Purdue, no less. I actually took a "car care class for women" – at the local community college. It was for women in the sense that only women were in the class. So you don't feel like the men are watching you and judging you, for not having learned all the things growing up that their father taught them. I learned how to change my wiper blades, oil, air filter, tire, all that stuff. But, and I stress, this was adult education class. NOT a degree-based class. I'm VERY curious about that CS for women class. Was it like this – just women in the class, for those that are intimidated by men dominating the class? Or was it "here's the return key, just like on a typewriter, here's a class assignment based on recipes, of course it's a group exercise, etc." Do you know anything more about it?
Oh, good one! I dislike these things too, along with the rhinestone sports shirts in pink. What is the point? I would rather have something in my team's colors, so I can be like every other fan. Isn't that the point of having uniforms and such? To feel a part of something?
I hate the tool sets that are pink, too. I like the color pink and have pink clothes, purses, etc. But tools being pink just seems insulting.
oh, you should! I've played Fable II already, and the storylines are the same for a man or a woman. There are bisexual, gay, and straight characters. You can marry whomever you like (gay marriages are an option) and have sex with whoever. Given the time period this is set in, it's probably unrealistic, but the game makers certainly didn't exclude anyone or give into the typical heteronormative gameplay.
It's also a really fun game, I definitely recommend it.
The Zillionz Deluxe ATM.
Hah! That's what I always said about them! "They hope to grow up to be real cars some day."
Actually it's based on research that showed that women learn computer skills better in a team-based approach than individually. It's not meant to be patronizing, and any woman can still take the standard classes.
I went to the toy store and in the girls section there was a Pink Scrabble with the words Fashion spelled out. There was also a pink Ouija board.
PINK ouija board.
My baby daughter for unplanned reasons got a lot of white, yellow and green clothes. People think she is male.
I will also refuse to buy her rhinestone t-shirts that say Hot Stuff, Girl Crazy or Playboy Bunny.
LOL. Well, we wouldn't want impressionable little girls communicating with indelicate, unladylike spirits, would we? They might get dirty, unladylike ideas.
My boyfriend, my dad and my brother all rock the pink button-down shirts. I kind of want to get them all together for a photo-op sometime
If you read (Western) stuff from the 20s about gender and color, it's all about how pink is for boys because it's a shade of red and red is manly and strong, whereas blue is a "calming" color and more appropriate for girls.
It's kind of amazing both how attitudes have completely flipped and how people will do completely unself-conscious studies purporting to "prove" that women are genetically drawn to pink, as though society doesn't influence that at all.
Because when I have a flat in the middle of the night, the first thing I worry about is the state of my manicure and whether my lips look soft, shiny and kissable enough for the man I guess I am inevitably calling to come and change my tire, because as a silly girl I've certainly never learned how to work a jack.
I've actually begun to purposely avoid pink – especially pink shirts – for this very reason. Plus I think pink shirts make me look too girly and I don't like it. It's true that pink is still totally ghettoized – unless you're a wealthy businessman in a pink shirt and tie, pink just does not work. No. Say no to pink.
I've actually got a set of tools that're pink, not to mention the fact that my sledgehammer and my steel-toed boots both have pink duct tape on them.
Why? Because it keeps the rest of my crew from "borrowing" my tools. Seriously, I don't even particularly like pink, but it's the only colour that will guarantee that the manly men on my crew will never, ever touch my tools.
Well, purple would probably have the same effect. But my dislike of purple is as strong as it is inexplicable.
I work as a cake decorator, and I've had so many moms refuse to buy the novelty cake their daughter wanted, unless I could "girl it up." (Meaning; Add pink.)
Cars, Kung-Fu Panda, Wall-E, and Bolt are apparently "boy" cakes… unless you make some of it pink, then it's okay. I recently had a woman come in and say her daughter wanted a Cars cake… but, isn't there a Barbie cake with cars or something? (Uhh… no?) She eventually decided on a Barbie Ballerina cake instead.
Last December we wrote Sexist Toys You Should Avoid This Holiday Season which included such lovely items as Monopoly: The Pink Boutique edition (instead of buying real estate, little girls can go on shopping sprees or pay their cell phone bills) and the Rose Petal Cottage (because all little girls dream about cooking and cleaning and raising babies and home decorating).
This December we wrote another Non-Wish List with even more gifts to avoid for all ages. My personal fave is the tiny tiny pink thong that reads "It's a Boy" (because that's really the way you want to let everyone know you're expecting… with a pair of underwear you can't possibly fit into anymore).
Could it maybe backfire if women are taking CS classes that are structured differently, based on gender, when they enter the job market of a male dominated field? This is what makes me feel uneasy about gender based math/science classes…
I usually don't mind having pink stuff (I've got a pink cell phone, MP3 player, and computer mouse) but I'm not a fan of wearing pink.
Just the other week I was looking for new running shoes at Academy and out of ALL the shoes (which was about 50) in the women's section I basically had 3 choices: Hot Pink, Powder Pink, or Baby Blue.
It was really annoying. I had to resort to trying on men's shoes (ofcourse none of them fit right). But, there is a happy ending. I ended up finding a pair of silver and orange adidas at another muuuuuch less convenient location.
So yeah, my least favorite pink products: Running Shoes and Pink Jelly Bellys (Ew… You can have all mine, Jessica)
Ah, but have you seen the ergonomic keyboard for pirates?
Actually, there's a breast cancer research organization out there founded by a man who had (as I recall) lost both a wife and a daughter to breast cancer. Its symbol was a little pink butterfly. Unfortunately, I don't recall the name.
I love pink, but people here are right… It's a marketing scheme. I'll usually choose pink if there's a variety – NOT because it's the only option. I'll usually balk and choose a different brand.
What also gets me is cheaply made items with a pink ribbon on them – marketing them to breast cancer survivors or supporters. With like 1% of the proceeds of that sale going to research.
That's all well and fine, but I'd rather funds go to actual cancer patients that have little to no income and need help with their treatments.
Now, back to pink; I like pink and find that it looks good on me. I have red hair, pale skin and freckles and green eyes.. Pink is a good color for me.
However, I love dark greens, grays, blues, and anything other cool colors. I stay away from reds and oranges. Pink is the only "warm" color I'll wear.
I'm raising three boys, and my middle son likes pink now too. When I let him wear a pink shirt, people give me the worse looks. "Like how DARE you put PINK on your SON"
Screw you, my son loves the color, there are no "girly" characters on the stupid shirt; HE likes it. My husband threw a fit (even though he's all for female equality,etc etc) he doesn't like HIS SON wearing pink. *sigh* pisses me off. Forcing our sons into gender specific clothes because it may make him seem less like a boy if he wears pink.
Sorry for the rant; I'm in pre-coffee mode at the moment and will be more
I actually got to see the opposite end of this fairly recently, on the day before Christmas. I'm an early stage transwoman and a lesbian, so I rarely wear makeup, which I guess hurts my passability. Recently I was at Radio Shack trying to get a new Palm Centro cellphone. This cellphone is offered in numerous colors, but Radio Shack only had the black model on display. I wanted the green version, or the pink version as my second choice.
I told the salesman I wanted a Palm Centro and he went up to the store computer and started looking up what they had in stock without asking me what color I wanted. He told me they apparently don't have the phone in stock at that store, but that he can can go ahead and activate a phone for me and have me pick it up at another Radio Shack.
Another minute or two go by of him doing random things on the computer and not asking me what color I wanted before I think to actually ask him "Hey, is black the only color Radio Shack carries the Centro in? I'd rather like the green version."
Turns out they had the pink version at that store and he hadn't even thought to offer it to me. He'd have preferred to make me run to another store then to offer me what was actually my second color choice, and the color I did very happily end up with.
I just put a streak of pink in my hair (on New Year's) to match.
Does Portal count? Both the player character and the game's main nemesis are female. Neither of them wear pink.

I hadn't thought of Portal – thanks for the reminder!
Long time reader, first time poster, but I just HAD to post about this.
One of the worst misuses of the color pink is in the motorcycling industry! It's hard enough to find protective gear that is cut to fit a woman, but then a lot of the gear which is women-specific is in the color pink.
I get the feeling that the industry (whose fastest growing demographic of new riders is women, btw) thinks that women feel less feminine while riding so must want to reclaim some of that by wearing pink? Drives me nuts.
Can't get your women interested in shooting sports? Give them a firearm in pink! Never mind the exact same configurations exist in regular black "blued" steel or stainless, they'll overcome their aversion to firearms because of the color!
There are reasons you may not want a firearm in pink or other unusual colors. One important one being they can look like toys or attract the interest of children, even if they are full sized pistols, shotguns or rifles. Click on photo:
Despite the recent run on weapons likely to be banned, this person seems unable to find a suitably red blooded buyer for their "PATRIOT WEAPON of CHOICE." I wonder why.
As much frustration as I've had over the years trying to find non-pink versions of various items (I prefer bold, bright colors or black; good luck trying to find a women's sneaker without pastels, closest I got was light blue with yellow stripes), this post is making me reminisce about the blood-thirsty games of Pretty Pretty Princess my brother and I used to play. He was always pink, I was always yellow.
I would love to have a pink laptop and cell phone, but was unable to find either that suits my needs in my market.
Personally, I do not understand all the negative comments regarding the color pink. It seems to me that the majority of posters seem to equate pink with femininity, which is then equated with weakness. Pink can also be a symbol of strength; for instance, women coffee farmers in Latin America use the color pink to distinguish their product, the sales of which fund shelters and schools in their communities (Cafe Feminino, in case anyone is interested).
Granted, the color pink has been co-opted to market every imaginable product to women. But really now, the product in question here is a piece of overpriced eletronic garbage, a child's toy. Yes, I know lots of adults play video games, but what self respecting adult would buy such a hideous monstrosity?
My nephew is about to turn three, for Christmas for he wanted a Hanna Montana doll and i got it for him and to the dismay of some of my family members who thought it is too girly for him… just this week my sister and i went shoe shopping for him and he wanted Dora shoes but they had pink on them and so she didnt want her son to have them (he got Diego instead bc that the boy version). He will be getting so Dora shoes for his B-day for me.

Pink legos–I remember wanting these SO BADLY when I was six but I instead had to play with my brother's Legos. Now, when I think about this, this really wasn't such a bad thing. I could build more than just a kitchen and a yacht with his "boy" legos.
On the flip side, one of my good male friends has a pink GameBoy–he's seventeen years old and that was the color he wanted. He is even carrying it in one of his senior pictures.
I like pink… But I also like red, blue, green, etc., etc. It's just another color.
But I'm glad that, as a Goth, no one feels the need to buy me gender-specific colored gifts
The worst pink thing I ever bought was a pink leopard-print USB mouse. I use a Macbook which, at the time, was dual-booting Windows XP, and I needed a USB mouse so I could right-click while using Windows. I'm a fan of outrageous colors, and it was cheap and had a scroll wheel, so I thought it was perfect.
Until I got it home and opened the box, and discovered it contained the most condescending little user manual I've ever seen. It declared that women don't buy technological products because they're just so darn complicated, and besides, electronics aren't fashionable enough. Just… buh? It even has a hot pink double-click button next to the scroll wheel, for those poor technology-starved women who can't figure out how to double-click on their own.
My mom did something like that when I was three! But at least she listened to me. I wanted a Batman cake for my birthday and my mom kept saying "Are you sure you don't want a Barbie or My Little Pony cake instead?" And I was insistent upon the Batman cake. She always tells the story to this day. But I've seen the pictures – she gave in and there is definitely no pink are trace of typical girlishness on the cake.
What I think is weird, though, is how much she apparently tried to talk me out of it. I mean, it's a birthday cake, if the kid wants Batman, get her freaking Batman.
And the really sad thing is if I was a boy and I wanted a Barbie cake, so many parents would actually put their foot down and say "no."
That's awesome.

May 04--One of New York's most earth-shaking new musicals will have its local premiere when The Human Race Theatre Company presents "Next to Normal." The rock musical will be on stage May 7-19 at Dayton's Victoria Theatre as part of the Premier Health Broadway series.
Heralded for bringing the often-suppressed subject of mental illness to the stage, the show has earned 11 Tony Award nominations and won for Best Score and Best Orchestration. It also earned the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and has been produced around the world.
There's been a local connection to this hit musical from the beginning. The leading role of Diana Goodman, a mother dealing with bipolar disorder, was originated by West Carrollton's Alice Ripley, whose heart-wrenching performance earned her the 2009 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical as well as Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle award nominations.
'The future of Broadway'
In Dayton, the production will star Trisha Rapier, a new York actress who dreamed of playing the challenging role since she first saw the play in previews.
"As soon as the curtain went up and I heard the first few chords, I knew I was going to like it," said Rapier, who was already a big fan of Alice Ripley and the team of Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt. Yorkey wrote the book and lyrics for "Next to Normal"; Kitt composed the music. "It was such an emotional journey. I sobbed through the entire show."
Rapier wasn't the only one involved with the Dayton production who was overwhelmed by "Next to Normal" when it opened in New York. Ken Neufeld, president and CEO of Victoria Theatre Association, found the musical "real" and "gritty."
"It has an incredible, intense, exhilarating score," said Neufeld, who quickly decided it was a natural choice for the annual production staged in cooperation with The Human Race. "It's an important work of theater -- musical or otherwise; it represents the future of Broadway."
Breaking new ground
Scott Stoney, who has been involved with the Victoria/Human Race collaboration since the 1980s, is directing "Next to Normal," and says he was "blown away" when he first saw it. In terms of breaking new theatrical ground, he likens it to "Sweeney Todd" and insists it's a game-changer.
"I had no idea what to expect, and I was shattered and uplifted," said Stoney, who also serves as co-music director and choreographer. "I would never have expected that story of mental illness to be in a musical -- and a rock musical at that!"
Confronting complex issues
Among the complex issues addressed onstage are suicide, drug abuse, suburban life, ethics in modern psychiatry and grieving a loss.
"I think everyone knows someone who suffers from a mental illness, and we're really talking about it here," said Rapier, whose character's mental illness has been triggered by a traumatic event in her life. "Ten to fifteen years ago, no one talked about this kind of thing."
Rapier, who personally knows someone who is bipolar, said she used that knowledge to help research and create the role of Diana. The six-person cast includes other members of the Goodman family -- Diana's husband and two children. Jamie Cordes will portray Diana's husband, Dan; Eric Michael Krop will play 17-year-old Gabe, Emily Price will play daughter Natalie. Other members of the cast are Jon Hacker and J.J. Tiemeyer.
Rapier said having a 3-year-old child of her own has made a big difference in helping her understand Diana.
"Being a mom adds a level of insight into the character, and I feel even more connected than I would have before," said Rapier, whose family traveled with her to Dayton for weeks of rehearsals. "Diana is struggling with being a mom and keeping her household and marriage in order while dealing with this disease."
A coveted role
Papier says every actress of about her age -- she's 39 -- would love to play the complicated role that is filled with emotional highs and lows.
"You get to sing every note in your range," said Rapier, who was born to a musical family on an Air Force base in Sacramento. Her grandmother still teaches piano, her dad and brother are singers. She studied music and drama at UCLA.
"There's nothing more thrilling than to be on stage and sing your heart out," said Rapier, who got her first job performing at Disneyland and moved on to perform with regional theaters, touring companies, summer stock and in New York. She has most recently been seen on Broadway in "Sister Act" and also shared the stage with Hugh Jackman in "The Boy From Oz."
"Next to Normal" had one of the most beautiful scores ever heard, Rapier said. Her favorite song, a ballad titled "I Miss the Mountains," is the song that clinched her audition.
"She did it so beautifully," Stoney said. "She sang it; she worked it; she got the part!"
Bringing it all together
Stoney said one of the critical considerations when it came to casting the show was to make sure family members all looked like they belonged together physically. The three-story set, designed by David A. Centers, will transport audiences into the Goodman home.
"In most musicals, one element is stronger than the others. It might be the book, the music, the lyrics," Stoney said. "I've been constantly surprised by the craft that has been put into this show -- all three are equally strong, which is why it won the Pulitzer Prize for drama. And the rock music -- the rhythms -- are quite challenging."
A three-piece orchestra will be in the orchestra pit.
Stoney says the show is so complex and personal that he believes each person may have a different response to the theatrical journey.
"It's dramatic, and in your face," he said. "For some it will be cathartic. For others, it will be educational in opening up the closed doors that hide mental illness that happens in the family. While the end doesn't provide a glib resolution, it does reveal a step toward healing for all the family members. And that is rewarding in and of itself."

Back in 1952, the economist William Vickrey proposed a fairly unique solution to New York City's subway congestion problem: introduce a variable fare that fluctuated during peak times. The idea was that the market powers would help tackle the ever-longer commutes by introducing some simple supply-and-demand principles.
While Vickrey's subway proposal didn't gain a lot whole of steam, the congestion pricing concept quickly spread to the public roadways, and eventually became a mainstream economic idea. And in 1995, after technology had finally caught up with theory, California implemented the first such system on Interstate 15. This computer-controlled system of variable pricing has spread to highways across the world, and I'm sure is the exact prior art that IBM "inventors" Christopher James Dawson et al paid homage to when they "invented" and patented this exact system in 2008.
Braving a torrent of lawsuits from IBM's intellectual property division, Georgia became yet another state to have variable toll rates. While Georgia's system (Peach Pass) is a little late to the game, it does have the advantage of fifteen-plus solid years of technological advancement since 1995: the internet, high-speed image processing, commoditized hardware, etc.
In fact, it's this very same stack of technology that allows Peach Pass to take its congestion pricing system into the modern age by allowing anyone with an Internet connection to see these real-time rates in real-time on their website. So given the wide array of readily available options from SOAP to JSON to EJB, what did Peach Pass opt for to displays these rates back to the website?
Yep, the classic IP/CAM-IP/SIGN Protocol: an IP-enabled Web Camera pointing at an IP-enabled Digital Sign. Or as some might call it, Peachy RealTime.
(Thanks to reader Karun R for the tip)
My former employer was an earthquake enthusiast -- professionally. So he naturally thought everyone worldwide would want to see real-time updates from his (digital) seismometer. The solution?
Put a webcam looking at the pen that draws squiggly lines on the paper, of course.
Should win an award for the world's dullest webcam, except nobody ever noticed it.

Probably started with a bunch of web services and EJBs and real-time data processing, which resulted in cost overruns and technology failures and fired contractors. Millions of tax dollars later, new management decided they wanted the fastest, cheapest solution, so they decided to just stream a picture of the board.
London Underground had the same idea when providing departure information at Edgware Road station... http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephenk1977/167251770/
Maybe it's actually a very clever system disguised as stupidity.
You see, they didn't want smartass home-intellectuals studying their variable tax systems and figuring out loopholes that would allow them to travel for cheap. That's why they only give you the toll rates in real-time, not a historical graph or simple previsions like "the toll rate is usually higher around 5-7 PM". Using a simple format like JSON or XML to send the rates would have made it too easy for people to automatically pull the data from their web every minute and make all them graphs and stuff. So instead they show the data through a LED display, film it and send it to a Flash stream player. It's just an obfuscation method. They should twist the numbers a bit and move them close together to make OCR more difficult, though.

Acorn Novella Smoking Slippers 8 8
Awesome Slippers These slippers are so cute and stylish. Super comfy and could easily be worn outside the house. The fit is true to size. April 13, 2014
Absolutely LOVE them! They fit true to size and are very comfy! Super cute as well. I purchased the starfish in aqua. Loved them so much I purchased a pair for a Mother's Day gift. April 11, 2014
great slipper I usually wear a 7.5 and ordered the 7; after about 20 minutes they stretched and now feel like a custom fit. These keep my feet warm with just the right amount of padding inside. Acorn slippers in general are well made and this style is is attractive! I'm buying my mom a pair; the no slip sole is great on hardwood floors. thanks, GH! April 8, 2014
These slippers are awesome I was a little hesitant to order these slippers at this price point; however, I am glad I did. I tried these on as soon as they arrived and was sad when I have to take them off. They are really comfortable. I wear a 7.5 or 8 shoe and ordered the size 8 in the slipper and they are a perfect fit. The cushioning is just right. The rubber sole is substantial and would feel confident wearing these outside on patio. I may have to buy another pair! March 14, 2014
No smoking here, but... ...these lace slippers are heaven! (Especially when you wiggle out the last little piece of cardboard stiffening them when they come.) SO comfortable (I wear 6 1/2--7, ordered 7, fit perfectly). And so pretty that I have forbidden them from going outside, ever. Love them! March 11, 2014
comfortable and durable I just bought my second pair I like them so much. Very cute too. February 23, 2014

per the review below, can i assume this jacket runs large?

these are really cute pants and are very soft - perfect for work. fyi, they run a little small. also, my hips are narrow so these pants sit a little funny...but they're still some of my favorite work pants now!
0 Comments
These pants aren't made to fit every body type. They looked soooo cute online, but didn't fit when I tried them on. The main problem is they're made for women with hips, and having very slim ones made the pants look really bunched up in the crotch. I can see these looking really sweet on some girls, but not on ones with more boyish figures, like myself.

Isadora's family is seriously screwed up.Of course, as the human daughter of Egyptian gods, that pretty much comes with the territory. She's also stuck with parents who barely notice her, and a house full of relatives who can't be bothered to remember her name. After all, they are going to be around forever—and she's a mere mortal.Isadora's sick of living a life where she's only worthy of a passing glance, and when she has the chance to move to San Diego with her brother, she jumps on it. But Isadora's quickly finding that a "normal" life comes with plenty of its own epic complications—and that there's no such thing as a clean break when it comes to family. Much as she wants to leave her past behind, she can't shake the ominous dreams that foretell destruction for her entire family.

NORFOLK (AP) -- Two 17-year-old girls who were convicted of participating in a gang beating that killed one man and injured two others have been sentenced to several decades in prison.
Nichelle Carter was ordered Friday to serve 33 years in prison, with an additional 45 years suspended. Shakida Bowers was sentenced to 40 years in prison, with an additional 15 years suspended.
The two were convicted of murder, malicious wounding and robbery in a July 2007 attack in Norfolk's East Ocean View neighborhood. About a dozen members of the street gang Bounty Hunter Bloods ambushed James Robertson Jr., his cousin, Timothy Minter, and their friend Desmond Ashe. Robertson died of his injuries.
Commonwealth's Attorney spokeswoman Amanda Howie says 11 people total have been charged in the incident. Eight have been convicted and three, including the girls today, have been sentenced.
Five are awaiting sentencing and trials are pending for the remains three suspects.

Electromagnetism for an Electrical Engineer Major?

I know I'm an electrical engineering major but I'm looking to get the most out of my courses. I'm curious about the significant differences between the two intro to electromagnetism courses offered at my school: the "engineering" and the "physics" versions. I'm not sure I get the whole applied aspect of the engineering version either. The department allows either route but the second course can only be in the selected sequence.
Engineering Version: Fundamentals of Applied Electromagnetics, 6th Edition, Ulaby.
1.) Transmission, lines, electro- and magneto- statics, time varying fields, and electromagnetic waves.
2.) Maxwells equations, propagation and guides, antennas, coupling, and electromagnetic compatibility.
Physics Version: Intro to Electrodynamics , 3rd Edition, Griffiths.
1.) Covers the first 6 chapters only.
2.) Remainder of the book and includes a few lectures on superconductivity.
Background: Half of Physics Vol 2, 5e, Halliday, Resnick, Krane, and physics 1. No PDEs but Im not worried about the maths.
Thanks for the input.

The physics course will expose you to a wider range of topics, including magnets and dielectrics, relativity, etc. You will get a section on radiation, but practical applications and devices (transmission lines, waveguides, antennas, EMC) will be mentioned lightly or not at all. The engineering class will instead focus on those latter topics, but will omit the wider variety of physics topics in the process. I expect, for instance, that you would see minimal treatment of relativity.
If you take the physics course, plan to pick up the engineering applications over the summer with self-study.
Feb15-13, 09:32 PM
I used the Griffith's book for electrodynamics for my physics undergrad. After finishing the course a year later I ended up tutoring a good friend who was doing the equivalent electrical engineering course. I went over antennas, transmission lines, waveguides, and plane waves at dielectric boundaries. What I remember is that the antenna chapter for E.E. (which is supposedly equivalent to the "Radiation" chapter 11 in Griffiths) was definitely different. We were much more interested in electromagnetic radiation (the source of the radiation), which typically starts with a discussion of the simple oscillating electric dipole (which when in reference to an antenna the infinitesimal oscillating electric dipole is called the "Hertzian dipole antenna".) We went through all of the calculations to get V, A, E, B, S, <S>, and P in physics, in engineering, this was of no interest. These quantities were all pretty much given with little attention to the derivation (which to get V and A such that you can get the rest of these important quantities when discussing radiation/antennas is QUITE nasty btw, in fact the radiation chapter in Griffith's I remember being among the nastiest things we did as undergraduates..) I thought that was fairly crazy. Granted, this was a junior level course in the E.E. department and there was an optional senior level course on antennas in the department, I was still quite surprised however at the complete lack at achieving a "from the ground up" understanding of the material. That's what we gained by using Griffith's (along with other interesting topics in radiation (not discusses by the engineers who were specifically only concerned with the application of antennas specifically) such as breaking radiation, the calculation for the failure of the classical atom due to radiation, etc.) This being said, the engineers weren't without their pluses. Many types of antennas were discussed in addition to the simple case of a Hertzian dipole antenna. Half-wave dipole antennas (which is really just a superposition of many tiny Hertzian dipole antennas), strange antenna designs such as the Yagi antenna, antenna arrays, etc. Now, this was all quite easy to grasp if one understood the workings of the simple Hertzian (a term btw that you wouldn't even know from Griffith's), but still there was a depth of things covered (not necessarily a depth of understanding) that one gained by taking the engineering electromagnetism course. But constantly, all throughout the tutoring session, I was praised for my additional understanding which was simply due to me reciting important explainations from Griffith's (Specifically that the whole idea of radiation and antennas is to eliminate all terms from E and B that don't go as 1/r from the very beginning of chapter 11, among other things..)
Waveguides was a lot more involved in the engineering course, but you weren't required to solve the PDEs that were involved. You did go into a lot more applications of waveguides, there was more discussion on cutoff frequencies, etc. Griffiths only spends a few pages on this.
Transmission lines I don't even remember at all in Griffiths. Basically you had to use this thing called the "Smith Chart" to solve an algebraic equation relating impedence and I think reflection coefficients for the surface of some transmission line. These were engineering concerns that wouldn't really show up in a physics course, but is very important for engineers, so yeah you will certainly be missing out on this. It was a bread and butter topic for the engineers, it wasn't trivial, you'll have to read this section in the engineering book after you've taken the Griffith's course (if you decide to do that), and be careful when doing so (Smith chart is kind of weird.) If you've seen the Cornu spiral in optics to solve the Fresnel integrals it's about as complicated as that (which would be pretty annoying to learn on your own.)
Plane waves at dielectric boundaries was covered in almost exactly the same fashion as in Griffiths if I remember right.
That was my experience. Basically if you have gone through Griffiths (and understood it all), you will easily be able to demolish the engineering material (but not without reading it!) That being said, you DO need to spend the time to read through the engineering book afterwards to pick up these additional engineering topics. The additional antennas, the Smith chart, etc. However, you will have an understanding in electromagnetism theoretically that will be unparalleled by the average engineering students. Also you will have seen the unification of the magnetic and electric fields through special relativity, including a tensor treatment that combines the electric and magnetic field into one special object called the "electromagnetic field tensor".
It's theory and understanding versus application and breath of material, plain and simple. It's also using 'i' to denote imaginary numbers versus 'j'...... There is somewhat of a language barrier between physics and E.E. students..

Electromagnetism for an Electrical Engineer Major?
This makes choosing a bit tougher.
What if I'm more on the computer engineering side of things? Would it matter less which one I choose?

It's just one of the major electives I'm considering.

I think all EE students should be required to take a course in this area.
Feb16-13, 04:38 PM
I took Electromagnetic Field Theory from Griffith's text (first 10 chapters) with a mixture of physics and engineering physics majors. The engineering majors were somewhat disappointed in the course as although the material is very general application-wise from a physics standpoint it is not presented like the typical design scenario found in contemporary engineering texts. The further disillusionment with the course came from the professor who was an applied researcher in magnetic resonance imaging. What book did he continually refer back to fill in the gaps that Griffiths leaves out? John D. Kraus's Electromagnetics with Applications.
The question you must ask yourself is - What are you trying to get out of the course? Are you planning on graduate school in EE or physics? If so you may consider the course using the Griffiths text as it will help studying J.D. Jackson's text later on. If not the EE course is probably more practical.
I personally found Griffiths book to be rather dry and not very rigorous. I also skimmed through Kraus and several other EE E&M books and thought a few (Kraus included) where rather more interesting.
BTW-whether you take the EE or physics version must haves for practicing your problem solving are REA Electromagnetics Problem Solver and Problems and Solutions in Electromagnetic Theory by Lerner
EDIT: as a comp engr I think either would be useful.
~my 2 cents
Feb16-13, 04:58 PM
I have no intention of physics grad school (not yet as far as I know). There are such things as Computer Engineering at some grad schools. Here, we just go by EE and take all the CS and EE courses we want for a specialty.
What I'm trying to get out of the course is a difficult question. I don't know much from either. These courses aren't strictly required. But it's one of the more interesting electives. I'm more of a computer engineering major.
Feb16-13, 05:25 PM
It will be totally unlike a course in Computer Arch./Microprocessor/Embedded systems/Digital etc.. However, if you have taken a Quantum Physics course (which every Comp. Eng. should) you will probably like it. How can one devise a device that operates under the laws of E&M and quantum tunneling without a background in either? Any knowledge is useful knowledge but I in the case of E&M I would strongly recommend it.
Feb17-13, 08:52 AM
As other posters have noted, in EE you will learn more about transmission lines and impedance matching (important for some high speed interconnects and rf cables), waveguides and cavity resonators, antennas and antenna arrays, and perhaps propagation though gyrotropic media like magnetized ferrites (used in some microwave components) and magnetized plasmas (useful for satellite and HF comms). The standard physics text (griffiths) skips most/all of that, but does a much better job of describing the physics behind the electromagnetic properties of materials, actually discusses momentum in the elctromagnetic field (why do EE texts skip that?!?), radiation from single accelerated charges, and special relativity and relativistic electrodynamics. EDIT: If you do the physics version, you really should learn about tranmission lines and impedance matching afterwards, as it is fundamental to how many electrical systems work. Also, you should check any upper division courses you may want to take - some may require the EE version (eg. microwave engineering courses).
Feb25-13, 01:51 PM
As someone who has taken both physics and EE electromagnetics courses, I recommend you take the EE course. Especially considering you are leaning towards comp eng, the material you gain in the EE course will be MUCH more useful than that in a physics course.
The physics course will be much more theoretical, and give you a big picture sort of idea of electromagnetism. The engineering course will skip much of the mathematics and "beauty" of EM so to speak and go straight to applications.
Both courses are great in their own respects, but if you don't plan on taking any further EM courses, you would get much more use out of the EE version. The things you learn would be very useful and very applicable to many jobs that exist out there in EE and physics.

Frightfully Frugal: Halloween on a Budget
Here are some great ways to save cash this Halloween weekend.
Ashlee Holland: We all know that Halloween is supposed to be one of the most fun times of the year! We are free to be and do almost anything we can imagine. As adults, we learn that NOTHING is ever free, though. With record numbers of Americans losing their jobs and homes, this year has been scary enough! To ease the terrified minds of all of my money-saving moms, I have come up with a few ways to keep a little more cash in your pockets.
⢠Bring Out Your Inner Martha Stewart -- Scary, but Rewarding!
I genuinely hate store-made costumes. They tend to be cheaply made and are usually way overpriced. There always seems to be 50 kids walking down the street all looking like clones. BUT if you're going to get that Transformers or princess costume, you might as well save on it. Don't be afraid to purchase gently used costumes from Craigslist or eBay. Children just don't seem to ever want to be the same character two years in a row, so don't waste your hard-earned dollars on brand-new costumes if you can help it.
⢠The Early Bird Catches the Worm, but Not the SALE.
Another great way to save is to wait until the last minute. I know -- we moms hate to procrastinate, but it could save you in the end. Most stores slash prices a day or two before holidays. Befriending a manager is a GREAT way to save money and know the timeline of stores' future sales and clearance items.
⢠Go Green: Recycle, Reuse and Re-Invent!
My favorite thing to do with my son on Halloween is to actually make his costume. He loves it, we bond, I feel like a better mother ... it's perfect. If you think about it, you probably have most of the items needed to make almost ANY costume right at home. If you don't have items lying around that you want to use, make a trip to your local Goodwill or consignment shop. Venture out to yard sales when you have time. You can find plenty of items and come up with tons of great costume ideas that will save you money! Here are a few:
We all want the best for our children. Just remember that "fun and festive" does not equal you going broke!
Happy Halloween -- and HAPPY SAVINGS!

Thanks for an idea, you sparked at thought from a perspective I hadn't given thoguht to yet. Now lets see if I can do something productive with it.
I Just needed to say thanks to you for your know-how and additionally excellent internet site.
Very good site you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article? I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get opinions from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Bless you!
Hi there, You have done an incredible job. I will definitely digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I'm sure they'll be benefited from this site.
There is a vast quantity of details on the webpage you've began. With thanks.
I think I will change to this blogengine system as it is a lot nicer than mine.
Fantastic submit. Quite refreshing provided all the duplicate written content out there. Cheers for doing something original.
I used to be very pleased to find this net-site.I wished to thanks on your time for this glorious read!! I positively enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you weblog post.
Strange this submit is totaly unrelated to what I used to be looking google for, however it used to be listed on the first page. I assume your doing something right if Google likes you enough to position you on the first web page of a non similar search.
Definitely helpful idea for me . Will you article some a lot more ? coz i wish to adhere to ur twitter or facebook
Hello your sites are very nice. Can help for my work. Thank you for sharing this.
Straight to the point and well written! Why can't everyone else be like this?
Awesome looking website. I recently built mine and I was looking for some design ideas and you gave me a few. May I ask you whether you developed the website by youself?
Formula for success: Rise early, function hard, strike oil.
Fantastic article, I just passed this on to a friend who was carrying out a small study on which. As well as he really bought me a meal simply we discovered this 4 him or her smile So allow me to rephrase that: Cheers for lunch time!
You made some respectable points there. I seemed on the web for the difficulty and found most individuals will go together with together with your website.
Only a smiling visitor here to share the love (:, btw great pattern .
