- Beware The Mac and CheeseFonebrewDined on 9/20/2014First off, we had a very nice server. However, it was obvious he had too many tables. We ordered two cocktails. One arrived twenty minutes later with my soup. The other arrived ten minutes after that. I had a caeser salad with fresh salmon and it was delicious. I also ordered a side of mac and cheese. This was absolutely the worst mac and cheese I have ever had. It wasn't even baked. They boiled some tube pasta and then poured some thin milk cheese sauce on it. This was bland, had absolutely no flavor. There was so little cheese in it, it had no salt flavor. If I was the owner of this establishment, I would speak to the chef about a new recipe that is baked with several kinds of cheese in it. I would never serve this again.Special Features:
- Never a dull momentHMQSGBDined on 9/15/2014Always our 1stop when we arrive in Palm Springs Says it all!

- PLESANT TIME AT LULU'SlulufiletDined on 9/12/2014Scott and Chandler made our dining experience most pleasant. The food was incredibly tasty and satisfied our palates. All in all we had an exceptional dining experience at LuLu's and hope to come back soon when we once again visit Palm Springs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- lulus bistrojillVIPDined on 9/9/2014always enjoyable....especially for a nice group...had fun, food good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great choiceKayKDined on 9/7/2014This restaurant is consistently wonderful. The food is very tasty, the service excellent, and I love the layout of the restaurant. Often I sit on the patio and enjoy people watching, but during the summer it is far preferable to be inside. a real delight!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingFun2eatDined on 9/6/2014The food was terrible and overpriced. The eggplant parmagean was over cooked, the Caesar salad had old yellow lettuce and the pear salad had only one type of lettuce with very little else in it. I would not go back to Lulu.
- Not as good as hopedCindyDined on 9/6/2014The service was quite slow and the food was just alright. The portions were well sized and there were several specials to choose from. But the wait staff was basically inattentive and we had to constantly flag someone down to make a request for more water or bread. It took about ten minutes after we were seated for anyone to come to our table. Not sure if I would try this restaurant again.Special Features:
- Wonderful!!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/5/2014Food, service and ambiance were all great. been here many times before and have always enjoyed being taken care of so well. Thank you LuLu.Special Features:
- Usually good serviceMarcassoVIPDined on 9/1/2014We usually get great service here. The food is always great and I will go back to this place, just hope I don't get the snooty waiter again. We were on the patio. He doesn't even look at you when you're ordering. He's looking out to the street or in the air. Try and get his attention for a refill....or the bill...good luck. I've been here many times and this was the first time I've had this waiter. All the others are very attentive. Two of my friends have had him before and had the same problem. But don't let this sway you from patronizing this place...it's great.Special Features:
- ExcellenceLuvLulus74144Dined on 8/31/2014As always, Lulus is a great place to meet friends and family. Food is excellent, prices same. Strategically situated to allow for " people watching " Perfect spot!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinnerRuthlasVIPDined on 8/30/2014As usual, we pre ordered a booth with a view. We were not disapointed with the drinks, food or service! Our waiter JR was ON IT !!Special Features:
- Noisiest EverJimmyGeeDined on 8/30/2014Food and service were excellent, as usual, but the noise level was so intense we (a party of four) couldn't hear each other unless we shouted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ObieDined on 8/30/2014I did not give the restaurant 5 stars because of an incident that happened with the hostess. We checked in a few minutes before 6 with the hostess. There were a few other couples waiting and she told us to wait a minute. Well, 4 other parties without reservations walked in. One with 4 people like us and another with 5 people. Bothe parties were seated before us. When I brought this to the attention of the hostess, she acted rather "snotty" and still did not sit us for another 5 minutes. There was plenty of seating upstairs and there was no reason for her to have made us wait over 15 minutes to be seated, especially when we had reservations. I only wish I could have gotten her name as everyone else there was very pleasant.
- A Rare Off NightsagewoodVIPDined on 8/28/2014We have been here dozens of times for dinner. It is usually spot on. Good service, Good Food, Great Atmosphere. Tonight, there must have been new kitchen staff that was not paying very good attention. The salads, normally excellent, looked like they had been flung on the plate, and had minimal dressing. A huge pork chop that we have ordered often is usually served with some nicely sauteed apples and a hint of maple glaze. Always wonderful. Until tonight. What we were served was drowned in syrup, and no apples in sight. Vegetables were excellent. Also ordered Barbecued Ribs. Quite disappointed both in quantity and quality. Something was off tonight. I really hope this is the exception. Been here so many times, and it is great.Special Features:
- Oh, what a night...xxxxxVIPDined on 8/27/2014All going beautifully when one of our guests became ill...unrelated to the restaurant and meal. Staff were OUTSTANDING and 911 arrived within two minutes!! Just ANOTHER reason to LOVE this place!! All ended well...will be back at Tropicale again and again!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JoeLuvtodineDined on 8/26/2014This place has a good fun vibe. They have the best gluten free menu I have ever seen and cater to people with food issues. The staff is very helpful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lulu's for LunchOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/22/2014Excellent food per usual. Service a little slower than usual but still good. I dine at Lulu's frequently due to friendly staff and awesome food!Special Features:
- Always good - Usually not greatSNAFlyBoyDined on 8/21/2014Lulu is a perfect location to enjoy the energy of downtown Palm Springs. I always take my out of town friends there. The $19.95 three course dinner is a great value, but the food is generally average. The one item that is consistently "stand out" is the pork chop. The wait staff is always pleasant, and usually fairly prompt. They could certainly benefit from some training to avoid the "food auction" when delivering the food. Any good restaurant staff should know who gets what without having to "auction" the food to find out who gets each plate. I will continue to patronize this restaurant, but hope they can step it up a notch to insure a long and successful future.Special Features:
- Great Breakfast!markVIPDined on 8/17/2014We went here on a recommendation for breakfast. It was excellent. Lots of options, the standards, and some variety (e.g. crepes), and all of the food was excellent. It was so good that we returned the next day again for breakfast. The service was good - very friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Great patio. Good cocktails. Go and enjoy! We will be back!Special Features:
- A bit let downzozobraDined on 8/16/2014I had eaten at Lulu's about three years ago and really loved it. It seems like the kitchen isn't up to their previous standards. We ate with a party of six and no one was really pleased with their dinner. I had the three courses for $19. Dinner, which was a great price. The mushroom soup that started the meal was amazing, the pasta course was just bad, a huge glob of cheese. Don't think we will be rushing back. Maybe for mushroom soup.
- Enjoyable!drrobdcDined on 8/16/2014Did not know what to expect. The service was wonderful. The food was very good. We had a wonderful time and look forward to another vst.Special Features:
- Always a great meal hereMarcassoVIPDined on 8/16/2014I've never had a bad meal or service here. I can always expect great food and the waiters are all so nice and very efficient. Making the reservation on open table always assures I get right in.Special Features:
- HaluebVIPDined on 8/11/2014We were at this restaurant shortly after they opened and we ended up leaving before we ordered. We bit the bullet and went back and they have fixed all the issues and we had a great evening. We will definitely be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food was so-soOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/10/2014I was expecting a lot more of my food and experienced based on what I read on Yelp. I felt all the dishes we had was missing something. It was just okay.
- Lots of AttitudereviewerrobertVIPDined on 8/9/2014Left waiting at the front despite a reservayion then waiting long enough at the table that we finally grabbed bus person and asked if we actually had a waiter. The service here was not good. The atmosphere was pretentious but the quality of food was quite good so maybe this was a bad night. One more try is called for.
- Summer is not as busyDannyCDined on 8/9/2014We always love visiting LuLu whenever we come to use our vacation home in Palm Springs. We had a reservation and were given a nice booth for our party of 4. We did arrive about 15 minutes early and that may be why our server was a little slow on the draw. The runner was there with water right away, but we had to wait a good 15 minutes to place our drink and appetizer order. This became irritating especially when we observed other parties being seated with their respective serves and served drinks before our server even arrived at our table. We certainly understand when a server may be overloaded, but just a quick acknowledgement usually will do the trick. Food was outstanding and once the server found his groove, the evening was pleasant.Special Features:
- Always a fun time at LULU'sCCTimDined on 8/8/2014Love meeting for lunch at Lulu's...food, service and value are always tops!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's all delish at LulusocalfoodieDined on 8/7/2014My teen and I dined at Lulu this week--not our first time and definitely not our last. We love to dine at Lulu when we visit the Palm Springs street fair and especially love the outdoor patio for entertainment and people watching. Using Open Table to book our reservation ensured that our table was available on time, and next to the misters, as we requested. The menu is varied and each time we have found our entrees to be quite tasty. My daughter's favorite is the chilled vichyssoise and for dessert, the decadent flourless chocolate cake. I enjoy the seafood and salad entrees, and the fresh hot rolls are a nice touch. Service was excellent and our waiter kept the iced-tea glasses full, on a hot summer evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice looking but 1980s menuEmsyVIPDined on 8/3/2014Nice looking restaurant, fantastic orange juice but that is far as we went. If you are looking for an outdated menu this is the place to go!Special Features:
- Worse every time we go!SteveDined on 8/2/2014We have dined at LuLu many time, right from when they opened. The food is consistently OK, not great. It's like a factory, the servers are not very personable and you always feel rushed and pushed to give up your table. It's VERY touristy! As part time residents, we are going to stop coming here, it's best for out of towners who think it's a cool place. The other issue lately are bacholerette parties, groups of women, often 5-6 different ones at once. They get drunk and loud and can ruin the dining experience.
- Lulu is SoSoVegastravelerDined on 8/1/2014Food is banquet style with plates prepared in advance and kept under heating source till served- plates are extremely hot. Price fix option is a good deal if you don't mind the banquet style serving... Restaurant is popular and pretty to look at, but unfortunately for LuLu, this beauty is only skin deep....
- Love coming hereMarcassoVIPDined on 8/1/2014We used Open Table at the last minute and walked right it and they sat us down ahead of lots of other people who were there with no reservations. Thank you! The food was great as always as was the service. Never had a bad experience at this wonderful gem of a restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AdministratorShaggyDined on 7/30/2014Service was extremely slow. We rarely saw Jessica, our waitress. I didn't have salad dressing on my mised greens and couldn't get the waitress. Also unappetizing to see our waitress fill the paper goods in the restroom while she was still serving us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Not So Fast, Wells Fargo
Matt is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
"Easy come, easy go" could describe the legal luck of Wells Fargo ) over the past few days. As Fool Eric Volkman highlighted earlier this week, Wells managed to dodge a bullet when the SEC dropped a case it was pursuing around mortgage backed securities. Eric noted:
a few hundred million in fines for crisis-era misconduct from the SEC ... wouldn't have deepened Wells' hole very much. What it likely would have done more effectively is kept the gates wide open for further government penalties and lawsuits. Come on in, help yourself!
But as Bloomberg reported yesterday, the bank is having less luck when it comes to wriggling away from another case brought by the Justice department. Wells was hoping that it could get the case dismissed because the bank had already made reparations for its misdeeds through the giant $25 billion foreclosure settlement agreed to earlier this year. But the DOJ had other thoughts.
From Bloomberg:
The settlement "only bars the government from asserting a very specific type of claim, i.e., where its 'sole basis' is Wells Fargo's submission of a false annual certification in connection with maintaining its status as an FHA-approved Direct Endorsement Lender," John Warshawsky, a Justice Department lawyer, said in the filing.

Bariatric Medicine
Bariatric medicine is a medical specialty that studies obesity and weight problems, including their causes, prevention, and treatment. Bariatric surgery is a weight loss surgery, such as, gastric bypass. Gastric bypass surgery makes the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass part of the small intestine. Pre and post surgery diets are used for gastric bypass patients.
If your are having a gastric bypass or lap band, our specially designed protein supplements can be very helpful during the pre-surgery and post-surgery phases to help you achieve your dietary goals. The Medibar Diet Weight Loss Program has been used by our weight loss doctors for more than 20 years.
Protein supplements play a crucial role in the structure of the Medibar Diet Weight Loss Program by supplying you with needed protein without added calories from carbohydrates. To accomplish this protein ratio using all food, instead of using the combination of food and protein supplements, would be difficult and complicated. With our protein supplements, it is extremely simple to calculate and fulfill the daily protein requirements that you need before and after your surgery.
The servings in Medibar Diet's Weight Loss Program can be prepared quickly and easily at any location. Many of our bariatric protein products come in convenient portion controlled packets, which ensure the correct portion size, while providing the optimal amount of high quality protein and minimal amounts of carbohydrates, sugars and fat.
Make sure to consult with your surgeon and/or dietician before beginning any diet.

The District's top lawyer on Monday outlined sweeping campaign finance reform that the administration plans to propose in July, even as Mayor Vincent Gray's self-imposed deadline to submit the reform expired more than a month ago.
The reform includes a ban on corporations and lobbyists bundling campaign contributions, bans money orders larger than the cash contribution limit of $25, and requires increased disclosure for corporations and lobbyists. Attorney General Irvin Nathan previewed the legislation, which he says Gray hopes to submit by mid-July, in testimony before a D.C. Council committee hearing on other campaign finance bills.
Nathan said he was tasked several months ago by Gray to review laws in other states to develop a comprehensive bill for the District.
"The review attempted to balance the need of candidates to raise the funds necessary to get their messages out and fully inform the electorate with the need to insure the same electorate that the process is fair and open and that the resulting government is free from any taint of even the appearance of corruption," Nathan said.
He added that the administration's draft legislation incorporates "some elements" of the three bills already before the Council Committee on Government Operations, but it also goes "well beyond" those proposals.
"We urge the council to await our proposal, rather than enacting piecemeal measures," Nathan said.
However, Nathan's pitch comes nearly six weeks after Gray's May 15 deadline he set for himself to introduce such a proposal. And if the administration sticks to it's new deadline of mid-July, the package will arrive to the council right as lawmakers break for summer recess.
When asked about the delay and why Gray set a deadline for himself, mayoral spokesman Pedro Ribeiro said, "Sometimes when you start looking at an issue," it raises additional questions.
"Our primary concern was, and continues to be, the quality of the legislative package, not speed," he said.
In addition to limiting lobbyists and corporations, the proposal will target "pay-to-play" contributions by barring donations from contractors who have, or are bidding on, significant contracts with the District. It will also require corporations to disclose who their primary shareholder is so that person cannot circumvent contribution limits by giving under the auspices of multiple corporations.
Campaign committees would also be required to report contributions and expenditures every 24 hours in the 30 days leading up to an election, and the Office of Campaign Finance should immediately post those figures online. The office would also get more funding.

Christmas Tree Stands
If you like us like a real tree, and have either small children, a lively cat or a mischievous dog you will know how important choosing the right Christmas tree stand is! We made the mistake of opting for a cheap stand then instantly regretting it after Boo yanked at the tree and 'snap' down it came..luckily he was highly amused (as it didn't land on him!) but it made us rethink! Last year we decided to invest in a Cinco Christmas Tree holder.
It was a bit more expensive than I'd wanted to pay, but as you can see it is really sturdy:
In the base is a spike which the tree sits on, and then you tighten the sides up, sorry about the state of the photos, the base has been living in the garden since last Christmas - so it has weathered!
Hayes Garden World have a variety of Cinco bases available, so you can find one to suit your requirements! They also have a range of artificial Christmas trees available and offer next day delivery for £7.95, but hurry last day for pre-Christmas delivery is coming soon!

|District-Assembled Vehicle Sales Growth 2009–10
|Source: Automotive News
|New Vehicle Registrations
|Source: R.L. Polk
According to U.S. Census Bureau data, both national and core (excluding autos, gas, and building supplies) retail sales experienced growth in February on a month-over-month and year-over-year basis. Core retail sales rose 0.9 percent from January and 2 percent from February of last year. Total retail sales in February rose 0.3 percent from January and 3.5 percent from a year earlier.
January sales tax revenue throughout the Southeast was down from 2009. Sales tax revenues in Alabama, Florida and Georgia declined at a slower pace in February than in January. Sales tax revenues in Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee declined at a faster pace in February. For the region overall, sales tax revenue was 6.2 percent lower than in February 2009.
All states in the District, excluding Florida, experienced a decline in sales tax revenue from January to February. January data showed increases across all six states in the District. Sales tax revenue in the District overall was down 2 percent from January to February.
February's District retail report showed some improvement from January. District retail traffic and sales increased as national retail sales rose. Businesses continued to keep inventory levels low, and for the fourth consecutive month all contacts reported they were satisfied with their inventory levels.
The outlook among merchants was optimistic, with almost 71 percent expecting an increase in sales in the coming months, the highest proportion since August of 2007. Only 13 percent of retailers are expecting a decrease in sales in the first few months of 2010, down from 25 percent of retailers in January.
Vehicle sales in the District in February continued to improve from weak levels in 2009, led by small-vehicle segments. Similarly, District-assembled vehicle sales were up 22 percent from weak levels in 2009. Nationally, sales improved 10 percent. Most of the increase in sales was due to Hyundai-Kia, Mercedes, and Nissan.
From January to February, Mississippi's Gulf Coast gaming tax revenues increased 5.8 percent in February, from $90.5 million to just under $95.8 million. However, on a year-over-year basis, revenues continued to decline, decreasing 3.9 percent compared to 2009.
Smith Travel Research included six District cities in its list of the top 25 U.S. tourist markets in March 2010. All six cities—Atlanta, Miami, Nashville, New Orleans, Orlando, and Tampa—had occupancy rates above the national average of 57.3 percent between February 20 and March 20. Miami, New Orleans, Orlando, and Tampa also had average daily room rates and revenue per room above the national average for the same period. Of the top 25 cities listed by Smith Travel Research, Miami had the highest occupancy rate and the second-highest average daily room rate and revenue per room.
The Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureaureported that Greater Miami's leisure and hospitality industry employment in February reached 98.6 percent of the employment reported for the same period in 2009. Approximately 103,600 people were employed in Greater Miami's leisure and hospitality industry in February 2009 and an estimated 102,200 in February 2010.

Insights®, a Leader in People and Organizational Development, Integrates Data from 30 Countries Between Two Dynamics CRM Systems.
PUBLISHED BY: Scribe Software
This left Insights with a critical decision: whether to have separate, geographically specific data on each server or work toward the goal of a single, centralized information repository.

"I went too far with the firefighter photograph for contest purposes and was thinking about how to stop the judges. I am willing to accept that, as one audience member put it, 'Good people sometime make bad decisions.'"Sorry, but this old ghost doesnt feel any sympathy for him. FWIW, here in hell even Leni Riefenstahl agrees.

So! I've been eating a lot healthier, exercising more often and trying to be more slightly positive about outlooks on life and well, I'm feeling a lot happier and a lot fresher!!
Trying to make everyday productive or worth while in any little or big way cause I feel like I'm getting older—hopefully I'll also get wiser—each day.
I want to make this kind of lifestyle a standing habit, cause like, I'm starting college in August and that's when shat gets real! Or so I hear…
It's been just a week or so since I started summer and woop dee doo! I have sunburn in about 5 places, but at least I'm in the sun more often getting sweaty, cause sweat is the watery form of hard work ^_^ And maybe this is the summer where I'll actually get dark!
Whale whale whale, this random update from my mother's bedroom via her Macbook with awkward photobooth pictures is adjourned!
Have a divine day jalllllllllllllllll

A Trumbull woman is suing police over her Feb. 9, 2011, and June 2010 arrests by Trumbull police.
The plaintiff, Virginia Silano, said both incidents were reported on the Connecticut Judicial Branch Website and in the Trumbull Times, damaging her reputation.
A police spokesman declined to comment on the suit.
Silano, of West Lake Road, a paralegal for more than 23 years, said in the suit that she reported a man looking into her windows on Jan. 10, 2011.
Trumbull Officer Daniel Wheeler allegedly "presented himself as unstable, annoyed and biased in that he began to roll his eyes and shake his head as the plaintiff explained what had happened."
He also "made motions with his mouth to mock, intimidate and discourage the plaintiff to continue her complaint."
Wheeler recorded the interview, according to the suit.
Silano, "as a result of ... extreme fear and anxiety" caused by the underlying incident and the officer's alleged actions, then told Wheeler she would shoot the man if he entered her home, the suit states..
Silano added that she never told the man directly.
But the officer went to the man and repeated the statement, and asked him to make a statement if he wanted to press charges, according to Silano. The officer then applied for a warrant based on that statement and arrested her for second-degree threatening.

The case went to trial before a judge and she was not convicted. Silano, however, seeks more than $15,000 in damages for legal fees, and because she was "embarrassed, humiliated and held up to scorn in the legal industry," also hurting her chances for finding work.
Second Arrest
Silano was also arrested following a Jan. 25, 2010, incident with the same man. In the suit, she said she was charged with criminal mischief for allegedly damaging the man's car.
But Silano said the man deliberately hit her with his car and she accused responding Officer Wheeler (the same in the January 2011 incident) of ignoring eyewitness testimony backing her story. Wheeler failed to arrest the man, she alleged.
A resulting citizen complaint she filed against Wheeler was dismissed.
Silano is also facing several unrelated criminal charges from 2011 and 2012. She was arrested June 29, 2010, charged with violating conditions of release; Nov. 5, 2011, reckless driving; Oct. 13, 2011, filing a false report of child abuse and second-degree harassment; and Nov. 23, 2011, second-degree harassment.
She was also recently arrested for allegedly violating conditions of release.
Her next court date is Feb. 5 in Bridgeport Superior Court.

|Second Annual Ohio River Valley River Museum Tour of Homes
|Written by Staff
|Wednesday, November 28, 2012 4:56 PM
It's that time of the year again! The holidays are here once more and with it come the seasonal lights and decorations found on homes throughout Monroe County. For the second year in a row, the Ohio Valley River Museum in Clarington will be hosting another Christmas Homes Tour featuring three elegant homes and three establishments on the riverfront.
The first home of the tour is the elegant country estate of Sonja Taylor and her husband Lou Lemmon overlooking Clarington. In 1970, Sonja and her late husband Gene "Skip" Taylor purchased the former Ward home and surrounding property. The current home has been remodeled and added on to through the years yet maintains some of the circ 1900 home's original char, including its oak staircase, built in window seat, and fireplace mantle. The home is furnished and decorated with many heirlooms from both Sonja's and Lou's families as well as a large collection of porcelain dolls and Longaberger baskets. Today the 4,500 square-foot home boasts a beautiful view of the Ohio River and Clarington.
Second on the tour is the home of Paul and Sandy Dietrich, located off State Route 556 about five miles from Clarington and is a two-story country style home. It was built by the Swiss Hills construction trades class in the school year 1999-2000, with Marc Ring as the instructor. It is an open-style 4,100 square-foot home featuring a loft overlooking a great room and a 13'X24' sun room.

British socialite Girl Victoria Hervey may possibly not have been nominated for something at the 2014 Golden World Awards, but she surely justifies an award for "Most Revealing Gown."
Hervey wore a absolutely sheer, floor-duration dress -- if you can even connect with it that -- to the Weinstein Enterprise & Netflix's just after-party at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday (Jan. twelve). The ensemble was manufactured out of an impossibly thin, stocking-like content, barely bedazzled in black sequins and typically see-by. Astonishingly, the aristocrat managed to make it by way of the night with no a wardrobe malfunction.
The robe was created by Indian fashion designer Gaurav Gupta, according to the Daily Star.
People acquainted with the 37-12 months-aged English eccentric's wardrobe likely were't way too taken aback by the daring choice.
Hervey wore a glittering see-by means of robe that exposed her thong underwear during the 2012 Cannes Movie Festival. That July, she wore a backless dress to the Sports activities for Peace gala, generating headlines with some major sideboob.

So I did breathing squats again today. Take your 10RM do that then take 3 deep breaths do a squat, 3 deep breaths squat repeat 10 times, so you have a total of 20 squats in that set. Rest 6 mins lighten the weight by 5% and repeat. I did 4 sets. Starting at 225 and ending at 185. Those last few on 185 were brutal! Give it a shot! It's fun!!!
justfivemore replied to your post: interesting thought…
justfivemore replied to your post: interesting thought…
Thank you. I think I'm gonna do it. It seems like it could be fun!
i don't have any idea personally, but i've heard that bodybuilding.com is a fantastic resource :]
The other day at the gym both my trainer and another guy who use to be be a trainer at the gym both said I should think about doing a body building type show. They think it'd give me something to work towards and I work better when I have something like to work for. But I have no clue how to go about getting ready for one of these. I have no clue about body building. I know about weight loss. Sure I've put on muscle and can put on muscle I know how I'm a trainer but I don't know about bodybuilding stuff. I don't know what all goes into it or how I would need to eat for it or anything. I don't know poses NO CLUE! Anyone know about any of this stuff??
Am I still sick? Yup. Do I care at this point? Nope. I'm working out. Sorry if I get you sick peeps at the gym
BUT NO!!!!!! Stupid knee hurts like crazy (I can bend it all the way again so that's progress) and I can't go 5 minutes right now without coughing up a lung! ugh! Gym I miss you so very much! Jon
uh-oh-janellio replied to your post: I just wanna workout!!!
I know. But I haven't been able to workout since Saturday. I'm goin bonkers here!!
It's better to take it easy now, than to get worse later!
My knee still hurts from Saturday (being 28 with 2 bad knees sucks). My elbow feels better and up to doin some upper body working out. But I've been doubled over coughing every 5 minutes all day today! UGH!!
But now I'm going to be doing either weekly, biweekly, or monthly progress pictures. Not sure how often I'm going to do them.
Up and going!!!!
So now that I've told you I jacked up my knee at my wrestling show I can tell this. When Cundiff missed the field goal at the end of the game I completely forget about my knee and I jump off my bed yelling "HE MISSED IT HE MISSED IT!!!" over and over. I go to start running around the house yelling but I figure people I live with wouldn't like that. So I hit the brakes. BOOM knee goes out I fall into my dresser and trip over my wrestling gear bag. I then start running in little circles yelling "HE MISSED IT!! HE MISSED IT!!" Then I figure I should probably stop yelling so I just beat the shit outta my chest king kong style!
Friday I did back and biceps with my trainer. As usual she absolutely destroyed me. She's a evil little thing! I did an hour of cardio afterwards. I went home for a bit and then came back about 6 hours later to do round 2 of cardio, for 45 mins. I had to move the treadmills because we got a new one and it made the bike area tight so since I'm the only guy that works there this duty fell to me. I kept putting it off all week because I thought it was gonna suck, but it took maybe 5 minutes tops.
Saturday I went in and did another hour of cardio on my good friend mr. elliptical. Then I had my wrestling show. It was a good show. Fun match. I didn't give the guy much but I came out hurting pretty bad. I did something to my knee to where I could barely bend it last night. and something to my elbow that caused mat burn and for it to be swollen.
Today I've done nothing but ice my knee and watch football. Been a lazy day it's driving me bonkers I haven't done anything but I can't do much with an effed up knee and elbow.
:-( I'll tear my room apart tomorrow night
Roughly about this time, or probably a bit earlier, I made my professional wrestling debut. Crazy it's been that long, Just friggin crazy. I'll try to find a picture and post it
So my brain has been in a weird place lately. I kinda know why it's there but that's not really what this post is about about so we just won't get into that at the moment.
I've come to realize that life was soooooooo much easier when I was heavier. I'm not saying I want to go back to being 368 lbs, but it was so much easier then. I ate whatever I wanted to, didn't have to worry about calories or macro percentages nothing like that. It was hmmmm this sounds good I'm gonna eat it and I'm gonna probably eat a lot of it.
Also I have no idea who the hell I am anymore. When I was bigger I knew my role, I had a good idea of how most people looked at me. I was the quiet big guy who would occasionally say some funny stuff. Now I have no clue how other people see me. I know I shouldn't care about how others see me but we all care at least a little how others see us. It helps to know when thinking of approaching a member of the opposite sex or at least I think it does. I think I know why I don't know how people see me though. I think it's because the versions I see of myself don't match up one bit. In my head I still see the 368 lbs Jon. When I look in the mirror I obviously see what everyone else sees but maybe a bit bigger than others do I would guess.
I think this mismatched self perceptions are really messing with me. Has anyone else here gone through this? I would really like to kill the fat me in my head but I have no clue how to. I mean I was that guy for 25 years. I haven't been him for 3 years now but he still won't go away. I dunno, I just had to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening/reading.
In good news I was able to do back and bi's for the first time since my back decided to go bonkers and hurt like crazy about 2.5 weeks ago. So I'm pretty pumped about that!
So I'm going to the gym! Gotta love 24/7 gyms
I suck at all this stuff but I would like a little place to put up old pictures ect I know it can be done on here because I've seen it but I have NO clue how to go about doing this. If anyone of you would be so kind as to help me I would love you forever and ever :)
I got 2.5 hours of sleep last night thinking about the same thing over and over and over. If I fell asleep right now I'd get 4 hours 3 minutes because I'm thinking about the same friggin thing!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr
runningwithpump replied to your post: can neither confirm nor deny that I'm in a funk

How do we get you out of said funk? Says the guy who is also trying to get out of a funk.

DENISON, Texas (AP) - A murder warrant has been issued for a man after the slaying of a North Texas woman.
The Grayson County Sheriff's Office in Sherman on Friday announced the search for 53-year-old Arron Lynn Smith.
Lt. Rickey Wheeler says Smith is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached.
Wheeler says Smith is suspected in the killing Thursday night of a 46-year-old woman from Denison. Her name wasn't immediately released. Wheeler says the attack happened just outside Denison, about 70 miles north of Dallas.
Smith is described as being a balding white male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, about 180 pounds with blue eyes and brown hair. He could be driving a 2010 blue Ford truck, a 4-door vehicle with chrome wheels. No license plate number was immediately provided.

WinPoker Video Poker Software
Most serious video poker players are familiar with Bob Dancer. His Million Dollar Video Poker is the book to read for beginning players. Those who haven't read Million Dollar Video Poker are probably familiar with Bob Dancer's writing in various gambling publications. What some don't know is that Bob Dancer offers his own video poker instruction software called Win Poker.
Win Poker allows players to play the most popular video poker games on the market. As the game is played, you can set the Win Poker software to run statistical analyses of your playing. This game "tutor" then lets the player know if errors have been committed according to the probabilities.
Win Poker Tutor
Not only does the player receive a warning about errors being made, but the player can refer to the Win Poker tutor to break down the numbers. You can learn how large of a deviation any given play makes. The tutor groups the errors into three categories: major, moderate and minor.
Once players start to analyze their play on a video poker game, they learn to correct mistakes. This encourages optimal play, which is a must if you want to beat the house edge and start to play video poker with positive expectation.
Win Poker Overview
The latest Win Poker software comes with the fifteen most played video poker games in casinos. Each comes with a menu of the many variations of that particular game, virtually any version you'll find in a casino. Also, there are options for player-defined settings. This means you can program any pay schedule you might be playing into Win Poker and run simulations using those parameters.
Win Poker by Bob Dancer is one of the best study and practice tools on the market. Video poker players are lucky to be able to run such models. Video poker is one of the more analytical games out there because it's a game that can be beaten if the holes in the game are analyzed and the right strategies are learned. So many other games have such a huge house edge that no amount of cunning is going to help the gambler.
Consider Win Poker to be a cram session for your next trip to the casino. If you intend on playing live poker, you're likely to play a few hands of low-blind online poker somewhere to practice. You might even read a book or two and try out those concepts in your favorite online poker room. Win Poker software allows you to sharpen your video poker skills by practicing on your computer at the house. Once you start to learn the correct plays, you'll find your live video poker money sessions to be so much more enjoyable.
Win Poker 6th Edition
Win Poker has been such a success that the program is on its 6th edition. To use the latest Bob Dancer's Win Poker software, you'll need to use a Windows 95 or Windows 98 or later operating system. Virtually everyone in the free world has that, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Win Poker costs around $30. If you plan on becoming a serious video poker player, that's a small price to pay for the knowledge contained. The game allows you to simulate virtually any game on the market and to analyze that game's pay schedule.

This item recently caught my eye.
Heineken, Stella Artois, and Sony are among those to have commissioned one-off immersive live theatrical experiences in recent months. Now, however, London culture marketing agency pd3 is pushing the model further by financing the development of its own theater projects.
The move--which will bring a theatrical interpretation of five Brothers Grimm fairytales to central London later this year--will demonstrate both new creative and commercial opportunities for both brands and theater producers, the agency claims. FULL STORY HERE
It seems that more and more big name brands are getting into the commissioning business. Is this any different from the Archduke commissioning a new piece of chamber music from Beethoven? There's a lot of talk these days about a direct line leading from Rembrandt straight through to Andy Warhol, a line defined by an exciting new noun/verb: branding.
Continue reading "Oh where oh where did our firewall go? Marketing firms and name brands are getting into the "Art" game. Should we care?" »

Musical Interlude (and a Survey)
Admin note: this started as a series of random bullets to introduce my tri vs ultra post. Then the items started to take on a life of their own, and – except for the final one – shared a similar theme, so I'm taking a shortcut and letting this post stand alone, and we'll get back to the other topic next week – I promise.
* At long last, I've put the video on my sidebar that I've waited months for: "Troublemaker", by Weezer. It was far and away my favorite song of the summer, and the video generated a lot of buzz before it was even filmed.
A few months ago, Weezer announced an open casting call for the video shoot, with the opportunity to participate in several world record-breaking events. The finished product features the world's Largest Game of Dodgeball, the Most People in a Custard Pie Fight, Most People Riding on a Skateboard, the Largest Air Guitar Ensemble, and Longest Guitar Hero World Tour Marathon. (Yes, Guinness actually keeps records of these things.)
So whether or not you're a Weezer fan (and you should be), when you watch the video, you have to agree on one thing: those guys definitely know how to have fun.
* The new Rise Against album that I was promoting a couple of weeks ago was released last week … and at first I was a little disappointed. I always dread listening to new recordings from a band whose previous album (in this case, The Sufferer and the Witness) was an absolute masterpiece. My expectation is that all of the new stuff will be just as good, even though that may be somewhat unrealistic. It feels sort of like the unveiling of whatever Van Gogh painted immediately after Starry Night – something that was probably very beautiful, but doesn't stand out as an instant classic like its predecessor.
I'm aware that I just compared Rise Against to Van Gogh; trust me - in my mind, it makes perfect sense. Anyway, after listening to the new album a few times, I've decided that there are at least 7 songs I'll keep in heavy rotation for a long time – and in the age of single-song downloads, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
* David Archuleta (of American Idol fame) has a new video on VH1. It's basically what you'd expect: soft-pop hooks, lyrics full of teen angst, lots of glamour shots of the kid strumming his guitar or playing the piano on the dock of a lake. The only thing that's missing is him staring into the camera afterwards, holding his hands to his chest and saying, "Oh my gosh! I can't believe you liked it so much! Thank you! Oh my gosh!!" with an incredulous look on his face. And no, I'm not linking to the video; this blog has some standards to maintain.
* However, this item deserves some links: this week, Craig e-mailed to ask if I'd do a follow-up post on the apparent comeback of one Britney Jean Spears, fulfilling a wish/prophecy that I offered here almost two years ago. (The inquiry is twice as funny when you remember that the person asking this is a pastor).
Here was my response, as well as a link to Exhibit A in the debate over Britney's current "Hot or Not" status:
Was I right about Britney? I'm not quite ready to claim victory on that one. She reminds me of an alcoholic uncle who shows up at Thanksgiving one year clean and sober, looking great and talking about turning things around. You hope it's all true, but you certainly won't be shocked if three months from now he's unemployed and back on the bottle. Yes, Brit's last appearance (at the VMAs, right? Very hip for you to know that) was impressive, but at this point I need a long period of consistency before I'm fully convinced – and even then it will be a nervous optimism at best.
That about sums my feelings up … but you're welcome to weigh in either way on this.
* And finally … something completely different. A training partner of mine is a transplant from Philadelphia, so after the Phillies earned a trip to the World Series this week, I attached this photo to an e-mail reminder for Friday morning's run:
Later, it triggered the following exchange between another friend and me:
Friend: What is that?
Me (shocked): It's the Philly Phanatic! The mascot for the Phillies. He's awesome.
Friend: Never heard of him.
Me: You should. If there were a Mount Rushmore for sports mascots, the Phanatic would be on it. He'd be up there with the San Diego Chicken, the Stanford Tree, and …
Friend: And who?
That's where I drew a blank, and that's where the audience participation portion of this post begins. There are so many options to choose from – which one should get the honor? I have a West Coast bias, so I thought of Phoenix's Dunking Gorilla, or – based on his dance skills alone – Stomper from the Oakland A's. I also like those sausage guys that race around in Milwaukee, but are they official mascots? Maybe someone in the Midwest can clarify this. And Mister Met is always good for a few laughs.
It's way too much for me to contemplate today, and I've given you lots of links already. Check them out, then feel free to cast a vote below.

The lyrics to many choral refrains in Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas are often ignored or forgotten by audiences who favor the musical solos and pat...
Read Whole Story
One of the joys of watching world cinema is that it takes you outside your standard frames of reference. In some cases this means stories with fewer guns, gore, and explosions. In other situations, it simply means that the influence of Jesus is never a given.
A gay film from Israel presents a hair-raising depiction of the obstacles faced by two gay men who quickly fall in love despite the fact that they are surrounded by the kind of tribal hatred as old as the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues.
Two recent low-budget productions demonstrated the trickiness of trying to wrestle a complicated story filled with complex characters into a manageable format that can hold its audience's attention while keeping to a reasonable time frame.
Today's action adventure films are so full of explosions and special effects that there is little opportunity to imagine what might be going on in the hearts and minds of their major characters
The 2013 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival included documentaries about two men with as much chutzpah as blood flowing through their veins. While not an international celebrity, each is a heroic figure in his own right.
While it's possible that those who aspire to less enjoy life more, I have no doubt that every generation of humanity has had its ass kicked by reality.
So far this year, HBO has screened two films of social significance which deserve the public's attention. One will, of course, be an easier sell to audiences because of its high quotient of celebrity content. The other begs to tell a far more riveting story.
Coming up at this month's San Francisco Jewish Film Festival is a wonderful new documentary entitled American Jerusalem which details the history of the Jews who helped to build San Francisco (from the days of the California Gold Rush and up to the 1915 Pan-Pacific International Exposition).
How does the burden of honoring one's promise complement efforts to adapt sustainable approaches to farming and fishing?
Retirement often brings out the strangest passions in men. While some may join the Tea Party movement and use its activities as a vehicle for venting their frustrations, others take to volunteer work or seek out mentoring opportunities.
Jews will often invoke the phrase "Never Forget" as a way of stressing that memories of the past must not be stolen from us. Three films screened at the 2012 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival focus on moments that should not be forgotten.
As someone who enjoys wordplay, I have always been partial to the following moment at the end of Act I of Stephen Sondheim's 1979 musical thriller entitled Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
The "power of one" is often unavoidable. One is also the term used to designate a person's singularity. Popular slogans such as "One person, one vote" and "One for all and all for one" have become a part of our political landscape.

Rains, pours, etc. (Game Recap: Cubs 15, Brewers 3)
Ladies and gentlemen, your new leader in batting average for the Chicago Cubs is Starlin Castro.
By going 4-for-5 in yesterday's game, Castro (.318) took the lead over from Marlon Byrd (.315, 1-for-4). Other Cubs with multiple hits yesterday included Derrek Lee, Geovany Soto, and newcomer Blake DeWitt.
DeWitt seems to enjoy playing for Chicago, having gone 6-for-16 with a double and a homer in his first four games with the new club. He obviously won't hit .375 for the rest of the season, but I doubt it's hurting his psyche to be doing well early on.
I don't have anything else to say about Derrek Lee, but I will point out for Soto that he leads the team in OPS this year by just about 70 points. His OBP is at .398, his slugging at .519... dude, what a year. He may well get to 20 home runs by the end of the year.
Another factoid for ya: since coming off the 15-day DL on June 25, Aramis Ramirez has posted a .302/.338/.627 slash.
Cubs pitchers did well yesterday. Ryan Dempster posted a quality start (3 R, 0 ER in 6 IP), and Sean Marshall, Mitch Atkins, and soon-to-be-starter Carlos Zambrano each pitched a scoreless inning of relief.
So that's nice!
Castro has been worth 2.2 WAR
Castro has been worth 2.2 WAR in 77 games this season. He's 20 years old. He's going to be a star. I only hope the Cubs have the good sense to lock him up long term at below market rates.
His BABIP is at .360, but
His BABIP is at .360, but yes, that appears to be one hell of a bat he's swinging. What's not to love?
Chances of him racking up the
Chances of him racking up the at bats necessary to win the batting title?
Oh, and Dempster's runs were unearned yesterday, for the record.
Thanks for the R/ER catch.
Thanks for the R/ER catch. I'll correct that immediately.
I think you need 3.1 or so at-bats per team game, so something like 490 maybe by the end of the season? Hitting 2nd and starting pretty much every game, I think he'll probably end up right around there. Whether his BABIP stays this high over that timeframe, however, remains to be seen.
I just did the quick math,
I just did the quick math, and he needs just over 4 at bats per game for the rest of the year. That's certainly reachable.
And his BABIP should be higher. The dude's fast. I'd imagine it might hover around .340 for his career.

Halloween, for most people, means lots of candy, costumes and scary sights.
In terms of the most popular costumes, some old classics, as well as a couple new trends top the list. According to George Elder, the owner of Party Starts Here, some classic costumes remain a popular choice in Charlottesville. For kids, it's superheroes like Spiderman, Batman, Thor and the Hulk, for adults, penguins and Ninja Turtles are popular.
Elder says they start planning months in advance to make sure they order enough of all the top costumes.
"We have to look at trends ahead of time, but it's those last minute things that we try to scrounge for," he said. "We have a lot of stuff in stock and we're ready for these next two or three days here."
The YouTube hit "What Does the Fox Say," has people in the region scrambling for ears, tails and whiskers to wear. Some stores in the area say they're all sold out of fox costumes. "Duck Dynasty" has been a big hit this year, along with Miley Cyrus' well-known MTV Video Music Awards performance outfit.
As for the businesses in the area getting into the spirit, some have giveaways for people in costume. At Chipotle, customers who come dressed in a costume after 4 p.m. get a $3 entrée. Also, Food Lion is rewarding kids in who come dressed in a lion costume with a free cupcake. Click here for a list of participating businesses this year.
There are a number of opportunities for kids to enjoy Halloween. There's Trick or Treating on the Lawn at the University of Virginia. Businesses in downtown Crozet will be handing out candy, and the town of Orange's Downtown Alliance is offering an evening full of festivities. All of these events run from 4 p.m. To 6 p.m. For a look at other opportunities, visit the NBC29 Community Calendar.
For those who were late to purchase candy, here is some last minute advice: It's all about the chocolate. A research analysis from company 24/7 Wall St. reveals Reese's, M&M's, Hershey's, Snickers, and Kit Kat bars rank at the top of the list.
And if it's something less sweet and more scary you're looking for this Halloween, we've got you covered there too.
Finally, if you're looking for some spooky fun, there is a haunted area worth visiting in Charlottesville. Wednesday
is the last night for the CSI Walking Tour. You'll learn about historic
haunted places in Charlottesville, and about ghosts around town. Plus,
help solve a real-life murder from 1904 involving the mayor and his
wife. "We go through the night of the murder, we go to the
jail, we go to the courthouse where the trial is held, and at the end of
the whole thing we ask everyone who they think did it. It's a true
story and it's a fascinating story," said tour guide Rob Craighurst.The
tour meets at Marco & Luca Noodle Shop on the downtown mall at 8
p.m. Craighurst said he'll take as many people as he can on Halloween-
the last night of the tours.

Hi Ladies,
My name is Roxy and my DH and I have been TTC for a year now. I am scheduled to start my first round of Clomid next month, but we are hoping that we won't need it. I should be o'ing this week. I think the "October Tester's" thread is really cool. I have tried other message boards, but haven't really found one where people are consistent in posting and supporting each other. I am hoping this will be different because I think I might pull my hair out this month! Anyway, I am 30 and my DH is 34. Anyone have any success or info on taking Clomid? Looking forward to this journey with ya'll.

Glass serves many uses in modern life. In large commercial buildings, glass gives office buildings a distinctive look and allows designers the freedom to create energy efficient structures making the most of natural daylight whilst providing the occupants with safe comfortable interiors to work.
Nowadays, glass strongly influences modern architectural design. The creative use of large windows, glass doors, rooflights, and atria amongst many other applications, makes buildings bright, airy and inviting.
As buildings materials have to fulfill varied duties, the type of glass must be carefully selected. Whether your requirement is for energy management, appearance, acoustic control or strength there are glasses that can meet these objectives.
Today safety and security in the work place is strongly driven by legislation. With glass these requirements are easily met whilst still keeping the desired look and feel you require.
It's simply a case of knowing what to ask for.
Select the area of glazing that you are interested in on the building and find out more.

Upper Valley Montessori School Offers Only Middle School Program in Area
POSTED: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 - 12:40pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - 8:13am
EL PASO- An Upper Valley Montessori school has started up something new this year that no other Montessori school in the area has.
Mountain West has the only Montessori middle school in the area. The program currently has seven students and the school is taking applications for this unique class setting.
"There isn't another school in the region. I think the next adolescent program or middle school program is in Albuquerque and in Tucson," said the head of Mountain West Montessori School, Natalia Bennett.
Montessori education takes an emphasis on independent learning where children are assigned individual tasks and supervised by teachers.
"We get to learn at our own rate. We don't sit there waiting for class to end and do everything at our house," said student Santiago Bennett.
Santiago is one of seven students in the middle school program. Their classroom has a home-type setting. They gather around the living room where they have discussions.
"I think you can learn better if you're comfortable like at home," said student Mijael.
Children spend a few days a week at the library researching topics they're assigned. Once they do their research, they are required to come up with interpretive questions, evaluative questions and factual questions and have a discussion. One of their topics is deforestation.
"When you cut down a tree you leave the stump and that's creating all the carbon dioxide so it's polluting a lot and we need to find a way to fix it," said student Diego Antonio.
Mountain West says students not only learn from books and the internet, but through field trips. They consider El Paso their classroom. Students spend a lot of time outside the classroom on the four acres of land their school sits on. There, they get some hands-on experience on what they learned in class. From science to math to physics to biology and humanities, they put all that to work as they lean about nature.
Students also learn about the economy by selling what they harvest at the farmer's market. The school's goal is to have them be as well-rounded and have as much hands-on experience so they can put all of that to use once they're adults.
"They're going to be able to understand the government of El Paso. They're going to know the institutions and they're going to know where to go and what are all the roles they can play in our society," says school coordinator, Fabiola Valencia.
The middle schools students have been chosen to make a presentation to go before the United Nations. That's set to happen in April.

This is a blog mostly about food, but sometimes other things. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
I've been doing really well with my eating choices since finishing my second whole30. Being able to be flexible and go out with friends and still make good choices, but not feel so bound to rules that I won't let loose a little bit. This weekend I had some friends come stay with me and there was a lot of eating out and drinking and today I woke up and felt so exhausted. Eating garbage combined with alcohol is not a great combo for me. Today I got some froyo which was totes worth it, but I'm back on the cooking train. Cooking at home really is a huge part of the road to health.
I feel proud and somewhat surprised with myself that I'm able to adhere to this way of eating while still having some flexibility. In the past it's been all or nothing. I'm pretty pleased with myself right now :>
I can't even begin to tell you how good this is. Crockpot #carnitas on squash 'tostadas' topped with #picodegallo. #homemade #paleo #whole30 approved
It's been about a week since I finished my second Whole30 and have been doing well with my dietary choices. I incorporated butter back in to the routine first and yesterday ate some bacon (added sugar), but with no noticeable ill effects which I'm pleased about!
It is a little hard to tell, though, because my skin is still breaking out. I've talked with my doctor and my gynecologist and we've all pinpointed the problem to be my iud. Super sucks. But I'm going to give my body some time to adjust and hope that the acne subsides. In the meantime, I'm still eating clean in an effort to not provoke it any more.
It feels good to be in control of my decisions around food. It's not a place I've been to solidly before, but like I mentioned in another post, this second Whole30 allowed me to shift in a different way than I have in the past. I can continue to make healthy decisions about what I'm going to buy at the grocery store and (when the time comes) going out with friends. I'm in control and conscientious about what I'm putting in to my body and no longer am at the mercy of a lacking will power.
I will be posting less as I find it tedious to continue to log my food, but will still be around :]

Tucson, Ariz. • The family of a 6-year-old girl who disappeared from her bedroom was being kept away from their home in Tucson after an FBI dog search early Monday turned up information that required a follow-up, investigators said.
Police Chief Roberto Villasenor would not reveal what was found at the home of first-grader Isabel Mercedes Celis. Police says her family last saw her in her room at 11 p.m. Friday and she was discovered missing at 8 a.m. Saturday.
The dogs began searching at the home around midnight, said police Sgt. Marco Borboa. "We have deployed the dogs and they're working at the residence," he said Monday.
Investigators found "suspicious circumstances around a possible entry point" at the home, Sgt. Maria Hawke said. She wouldn't comment on whether the entry point was a bedroom window or a door.
Family friend Mary Littlehorn said she heard from others close to the family that a window screen in the girl's bedroom had been knocked down.
Officers kept the block where Isabel lives cordoned off for a second day Sunday, after scores of police and officers from several agencies failed to locate the girl. More than 150 law enforcement officers were involved in the effort, which included a three-mile radius around the home in temperatures that reached the high-90s, police Lt. Fabian Pacheco said late Sunday.
Villasenor said officers had served at least two search warrants. The girl's parents, identified by friends as Becky and Sergio Celis, were helpful in the search for their youngest child, he said.
Villasenor said police had classified the case as a "suspicious disappearance/possible abduction."
"We're not ruling anything out of the investigation at this point because we really need to keep our mind open about all the information that's been brought to us," Villasenor said. "The family has been cooperating with us."
Littlehorn, who joined other family friends at a police command post, said authorities separated the parents Saturday as they questioned them. She said it was difficult for them knowing their daughter was missing.
"She hasn't been allowed to help look for her daughter," Littlehorn said of Becky Celis.
Littlehorn has worked with Becky Celis as a registered nurse in the pediatrics unit at Tucson Medical Center for five years. She said Isabel, whose nickname is Isa, loved to play baseball and dance; the girl was supposed to play in a baseball game Saturday.
"She's just the sweetest, she is feisty, she's full of life and spirit," Littlehorn said.
She said Sergio Celis is a dental hygienist, and that there was no way anyone in the family is involved in the disappearance.
"We all feel this is somebody who's been watching 'Isa' for some amount of time to know where her bedroom is," Littlehorn said.
Investigators were looking into various scenarios, including the possibility that Isabel wandered out of the home she shares with her parents and two brothers. Hawke said Sunday that the wandering off theory was becoming less likely as time passed.
In addition to the highly trained dogs, authorities said they have started checking on the whereabouts of sex offenders in the area as part of standard procedure.
The disappearance has rattled the neighborhood, where volunteers have posted fliers that included a photo of Isabel — described as about 4-feet-tall with brown hair and hazel eyes — holding up a school achievement award. More than 200 people attended a Sunday evening vigil in an empty parking lot near the family home.
Ron Redondo, whose 14-year-old daughter goes to school with Isabel's older brother, said he wants his kids to not take safety for granted. "We don't know who's out there right now. We don't know if this was a random act or somebody's out there looking for kids."
Erin Cowan, who has worked with Isabel's mom at Tucson Medical Center, brought her 7-year-old daughter. She said it has been on her mind that her daughter is close in age to Isabel.
"I put two-by-fours in their windows this morning," said Cowan, who also has a 12-year-old son. "I guess you can't be too careful, sadly."
At St. Joseph Parish, the Celises and their two sons attended an early Mass Sunday morning, and deacon Leon Mazza described the parents as "very upset."
"We didn't ask for any information. We just let them know if they need help, come see us," Mazza said.
Parish priest Miguel Mariano said the family regularly attends Mass and said he asked the parents if they needed any help from the congregation. "And then they said, 'No, Father, just prayers,'" Mariano said.
The Catholic church and its school are down the street from the family's home, and Mariano said in his sermon that he hoped whoever has Isabel has a change of heart.
"I feel, in the name of the community, we feel we are violated," he said later.
