A yummy start to the daySubmitted by: JUZZYMUFFIN
I will be the first to admit I LOVE pizza and EVERY healthy lifestyle should include it. :) After all, it has several food groups that we all NEED in our day ~ protein, carbs, dairy, vegetables, the list goes on. Bubble Up Pizza Casserole is a recipe I came across several years ago when I first started Weight Watchers. I LOVE it because its easy, loaded with flavor and you can mix up your ingredients to get a different result every time. I used what I had on hand this time, however, I have in the past, used ground turkey for the meats, ham/pineapple plus vegetables and fire roasted diced tomatoes for the spaghetti sauce. The possibilities are endless.You can check out the step by step and details on how I made this by visiting www.danicasdaily.comSubmitted by: 2DANICA

BEIJING, Jan. 22 (Yonhap) -- The reunification of South and North Korea remains a "distant dream" as the gamesmanship of the Cold War still rages on the Korean Peninsula, a Chinese expert said Wednesday.
South Korea could look to Germany as a good example of reunification, but Cai Jian, vice director of the Center for Korean Studies at Fudan University, argued that the legacy of Cold War is posing a major obstacle for the Koreas to achieve the dream of reunification.
"In the German reunification, the Soviet Union, a traditional ally of East Germany, was wrapped up in its disintegration crisis and consequently unable to provide potent support for East Berlin, making it all the easier for Bonn to unify the country with overwhelming superiority," Cai wrote in an op-ed piece published by China's state-run Global Times newspaper.
"In comparison, the Korean Peninsula is still shrouded by the legacy of the Cold War and regional stakeholders including China, the U.S., Russia and Japan stay in fierce competition," the expert said.
"The Korean reunification has never been a matter between two nations but an international issue involving the overall Northeast Asian strategic architecture," Cai said.
The two Koreas are still technically at war since the 1950-53 Korean War ended with a cease-fire, and reunification with North Korea seems very distant, given the lingering tension over the North's nuclear weapons ambition.
North Korea's young leader Kim Jong-un executed his uncle-by-marriage, Jang Song-thaek, last month in a dramatic political purge, sparking fears of instability in the North's leadership. Concerns have grown over the direction in which the unpredictable leader will take the nuclear-armed nation.
However, South Korean President Park Geun-hye, in her New Year address earlier this month, expressed a firm commitment to unification with North Korea, saying it would be a "jackpot" for all Koreans and an opportunity for "our economy to make a great leap forward."
While the execution of Jang has relaunched some debate in South Korea about the likelihood of reunification, Cai pointed out that enthusiasm for reunification for South Korea's young people is declining amid worries over its economic impact.
"A complicated domestic situation also plagues the two Koreas. West Germany had made every preparation for the reunification process before 1990, but in sharp contrast, support for reunification among South Koreans has been faltering recently," Cai said.
"According to polls, 71 percent of the South Korean public wanted reunification in 1997, the number fell down to 57 percent in 2010 and only 25 percent were unswerving in fulfilling this long-standing cause by 2013," the expert said.
"In conclusion, given the unchanged mindset across the external world and the changing landscape in the two Koreas, a reunified Korean Peninsula will remain a distant dream," Cai said.

After a shower and change of clothes, we're all feeling a lot more human. Neither of the boys are keen for a rest, so time to get out and start exploring.

Done as my first cover for Pathfinder, it will be appearing on the Demon Hunters Handbook later this year. And yes, it was an awesome time to paint this. Sometimes the composition and color just come together and all you can do is try to keep up with a concept that takes on a life of its own.
That's badass!
Great wok, you certainly deserve praise
Awesome work, I just love it.
Great horns!
Wow, just bought this one. Recognized your work immediately.
...tempted to buy this one just for the cover. I mean, really, This is awesome.
Sounds like you were really in your groove with this piece It's such a fantastic feeling when everything just *flows* like that
It is about time your wonderful artwork appears as my favorite RPG's covers
I think it's wonderlful when things go like you said! isn't it?
It's an amazing piece!
ahhh, i've seen some of your art in my other pathfinder rulebooks before, it's going to be so amazing to see something of yours on a cover! :D
well, he's a tough lil fella to go against not one but 2 of those beasts...amazing work and concept
awesome work

"The current is"...
Read the Pregnancy Prevention Program in Acne Drug Users Ineffective article »
PROVERA tablets are indicated for the treatment of secondary amenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance in the absence of organic pathology, such as fibroids or uterine cancer. They are also indicated for use in the prevention of endometrial hyperplasia in nonhysterectomized postmenopausal women who are receiving daily oral conjugated estrogens 0.625 mg tablets.
Secondary Amenorrhea
PROVERA tablets may be given in dosages of 5 or 10 mg daily for 5 to 10 days. A dose for inducing an optimum secretory transformation of an endometrium that has been adequately primed with either endogenous or exogenous estrogen is 10 mg of PROVERA daily for 10 days. In cases of secondary amenorrhea, therapy may be started at any time. Progestin withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within three to seven days after discontinuing PROVERA therapy.
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Due to Hormonal Imbalance in the Absence of Organic Pathology
Beginning on the calculated 16th or 21st day of the menstrual cycle, 5 or 10 mg of PROVERA may be given daily for 5 to 10 days. To produce an optimum secretory transformation of an endometrium that has been adequately primed with either endogenous or exogenous estrogen, 10 mg of PROVERA daily for 10 days beginning on the 16th day of the cycle is suggested. Progestin withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within three to seven days after discontinuing therapy with PROVERA. Patients with a past history of recurrent episodes of abnormal uterine bleeding may benefit from planned menstrual cycling with PROVERA.
Reduction of Endometrial Hyperplasia in Postmenopausal Women Receiving Daily 0.625 mg Conjugated Estrogens
When estrogen is prescribed for a postmenopausal woman with a uterus, a progestin should also be initiated to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer. A woman without a uterus does not need progestin. Use of estrogen, alone or in combination with a progestin, should be with the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman. Patients should be re-evaluated periodically as clinically appropriate (for example, 3 to 6 month intervals) to determine if treatment is still necessary (see WARNINGS). For women who have a uterus, adequate diagnostic measures, such as endometrial sampling, when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal vaginal bleeding.
PROVERA tablets may be given in dosages of 5 or 10 mg daily for 12 to 14 consecutive days per month, in postmenopausal women receiving daily 0.625 mg conjugated estrogens, either beginning on the 1st day of the cycle or the 16th day of the cycle.
Patients should be started at the lowest dose.
The lowest effective dose of PROVERA has not been determined.
PROVERA Tablets are available in the following strengths and package sizes:
2.5 mg (scored, round, orange)
Bottles of 30 NDC
Bottles of 100 NDC 0009-0064-04
5 mg (scored, hexagonal, white)

He's Pro-Cloning, and He Votes
Come on folks, yesterday's announcement by Sen. Frist was huge. Let's give the guy some props. I don't care if he is a bad guy Republican or if he's nakedly maneuvering for a Presidential run. He just completely changed the public debatemaking stem cell research legitimate. Even though two-thirds of Americans already support expanding stem cell research, the conservatives have been able to hold the issue hostage. Like it or not, Democrats don't have the "moral" legitimacy to control the conversation or dictate terms on stuff like this.
But thanks to Frist, the zeitgeist has suddenly shifted. This is huge! Plus: There are some nice political side effects. First, Sen. Frist has put Bush in the awkward position of having to veto the bill. With the Bush administration increasingly embattled and unpopular, a veto is gonna look desperate and bad. Second, Frist's announcement riled the Mullah Dobson crowd. Now, their bitter threats (finally) (and suddenly) sound like the loony sputterings from the fringe that they've always been.
I posted about the groovy political potential for this last Saturday, and now it's come true like gang busters!

Comment Jeff Dagle - He knows what he is talking about (Score 1) 293
I know Jeff Dagle and he knows what he is talking about. I meet him when visiting PNNL earlier in the year and he understands how the bulk transmission system in the US works better than most people on the planet.
The best thing the US TSOs have done to prevent this happening again is install lots of PMUs under the NASPI program (see https://www.naspi.org/) which Jeff is a member of. This is what gives the TSOs (and all the regional coordination authorities etc....) the real-time operational awareness of the stability of the bulk transmission system that just didn't exist a decade ago.

Meaning of DMA
It is a mechanism that avoids the use of the CPU by allowing direct data transfer even in blocks between memory and an I/O (Input/ output) device or I/O peripherals is called Direct Memory Access or simply DMA.
It is always not feasible and practical to use Programmed I/O for transferring the data from an I/O device to the processor.
Data transferred in blocks between an I/O devices and memory directly would be more beneficial and better rather than executing a separate instruction every time for a single piece of code or data in the block.
Thus, direct data transfer between main memory and a peripheral device is processed in blocks as a cumulative group and the CPU is not involved.
Thus, this will also help in the better utilization of CPU and reduces system overhead as CPU is not taking part in data transfer so it can switch to other tasks also while I/O transfers are taking place.
DMA would be useless without Interrupt capability
After finishing the operation to be performed the DMA controller needs to inform the CPU about it. After the data transfer is completed the CPU gets this information from Interface module and thus can resume the access and functioning of main memory.
It does this with the help of interrupts which are the signals that come into existence when some action has completed or when some event has taken place. They normally suspend the execution of the running program and jump to a special interrupt servicing routine or program.
Interrupt capability is very essential and important for the proper functioning of DMA otherwise it would be useless.Thus an interrupt signal or message interrupts the CPU from doing the current task and makes the CPU to take the required action. After servicing the interrupt CPU goes back to the suspended task or work and can resume its execution from the same place where it had been stopped until the next interrupt arrives. So, without interrupts, the CPU would never get informed about the completion of data transfer and DMA's competed task.
Figure given below shows the role and importance of interrupt and disk controller (I/O module) in case of DMA.

Those All American Girls have taken their talents to the friendly skies and have reached new carnal heights in this third installment of the series. This latest adventure boasts slick production values and features some of the most incredibly attractive women to ever appear in an adult flick.
Unfortunately, the plot is an incomprehensible mess about the bankrupt Trans Global Airlines and plans to keep it in business. But, the sex is scorching. Paul Thomas receives head from "head" stewardess Stacey Donovan; Thomas spends a week in bed exploring sexual fantasies with Cody Nicole (imagine a week in bed with Cody); Nicole scores with handsome pilot Jerry Butler; and it's very eerie watching sexy secretary Ginger Lynn seducing Sasha, the Burt Reynolds lookalike. All of those scenes are worth the price of a rental, at least.
Although Up, Up And Away is a bit slow in sports, it's those All American Girls who will make you want to fly Trans Global Airlines on your next vacation.

Not sure what kind of redirect this is called, but I was on Pixar's website and decided to see if any other Pixar domains names were taken (don't ask me why).
Regardless of what I entered (pixar.net, pixar.org, pixar.co.uk, pixar.co, etc), the page, without even refreshing, just toook me right to pixar.com. There was no blank page first telling me that I was being redirected. There was no website within a frame, and best of all...the URL I enetered (ie pixar.net) is immediately replaced with pixar.com.
Is this just achieved through the .htaccess? If so, what's the correct method/name of this type of redirect?
I'm trying to redirect my example.net and example.org to my example.com site. All of their DNS names are pointed to my hosting server, and the domains are entered in my hosts domain manager.

The Medieval Haggadah Art, Narrative, and Religious Imagination
The Medieval Haggadah Art, Narrative, and Religious ImaginationTuesday, February 22, 2011 - 12:00 pm
Dr. Marc Michael Epstein shared images from beautiful medieval haggadot (texts that tell of the Exodus from Egypt and outline the practices of the seder). Though the importance of these manuscripts is universally acknowledged, they contain a number of fascinating elements that have seldom been explored. Dr. Epstein examined them with fresh eyes and proposed new answers to long-unresolved questions concerning the meaning of the art within them, and what this art says about broader issues in the Jewish experience.
Dr. Marc Michael Epstein is Professor of Religion and Jewish Studies at Vassar and an adjunct member of the Spertus faculty. He received his PhD from Yale University and served as Director of the Hebrew Books and Manuscripts division of Sotheby's Judaica department.

When installing on WPMU, should cookies for comments go in plugins folder or mu-plugins?
Thanks. I understand the difference between the two. The page you sent says:
"Since this feature is exclusive to MU, regular WordPress plugins placed in this folder may or may not work."
So, I am asking, does Cookies for Comments work when placed in mu-plugins?
In my own testing since my original post, I've found it does not work. This would mean that it has to be activated for all blogs.
Hi all
Yes I agree with Klark123. Can we please have clarification if plugin should go in /plugins/ or /mu-plugins/ for WPMU installation. Also how to activate it for all WPMU users?
It'll work in either directory. In plugins you'll probably want to enable it sitewide.
Only shows up when in the plugins folder.
I cannot activate this plugin. I get an error:

Colorado Approves Financial System For Marijuana Industry
Colorado lawmakers have voted to create the a financial system for the state's burgeoning legal marijuana industry.
After Colorado legalized pot in 2013, it still had no financial mechanism for legal marijuana businesses. Washington has also approved the sale of marijuana for recreational purposes.
Just last week, the legislature had set aside the plan.
The Associated Press says:
"The vote on Wednesday would create a network of uninsured cooperatives meant to give pot businesses a way to access basic banking services.
"The plan seeks to move Colorado's marijuana industry away from its cash-only roots. The U.S. Treasury Department's has tried to assure banks they can serve the pot businesses under certain conditions without running afoul of federal law, which considers pot illegal. But most banks still refuse to work with pot businesses, saying the rules aren't clear."
As NPR's Eyder Peralta reported in March, Colorado made $3.5 million in taxes and fees from legal pot in January, the first month of legal sales.

The restaurant has a fancy name but that doesn't mean they serve any of those fancy French dishes. Besides, I'm sure the cooks preferred to tell Harold they weren't up to the task rather than tell him the truth about the name (they've all tried it, of course, and they're all big fans, but the ingredients are too exotic, the preparation is too much, etc.) Still, he wanted it to have a fancy name and everyone was too skittish to tell him otherwise. Of course it doesn't make sense to everyone else. But it does make sense to Harold.Go to Comment
I like it!
I agree with montreve. He is deliciously usable, and yet i am left with some questions. I find it kinda weird that he comes to a humble town and sells this stuff for moderate coin. It seems that after some time, this town would become famous, and people would flock to either buy these amazing crystalline items, or as monreve says, steal them. Also, it would be interesting to know, what happened when the inevitable group of bad-asses stormed his mansion. Obviously there is more to know about Wipp and his strange crystals and his paste, and yeah, whats his race? :)
Go to Comment
But its good. He has that certain je-ne-sais qoui quality to him, that I like. I think maybe slightly too much is left to the imagination however in this case.
I think there would certainly be an adventure here in either trying to steal these goods or trying to prevent someone from stealing them.
This was a great story with a lot of depth and for me has a lot of room to grow, what is the crystal and can others learn to make it? What race is he? That sort of thing. Left me wanting more in a good way.
Many a curious mage and alchemist has pounded fruitlessly upon the door to Wipp's abode. He ignores all such attempts at first. Most go away after a time. If they catch him while he is out tending his garden or if they are especially persistent, he will respond in exasperation by shaking his head and pointing toward the town. As a last resort, he will sick his hounds upon the interloper. The hounds first work to intimidate and will only attack if pressed.
Few test the mettle of Wipp's hounds, for they are the size of bulls and made of animated crystal. One is of dark amethyst, the other formed of rose quartz. Both are well armored, with abnormally hard crystalline hides, and well armed, with teeth and claws like unbreakable glass daggers. They are always on guard and cannot be fooled.
These hounds are a type of golem created from the larger of Wipp's sculptures. With the proper powers and incantations, these finely detailed sculptures can be brought to animated life. A passing wizard managed to broker a deal through the town merchants, giving him a statue of his own in exchange for animating the hounds, one of the very few trades of this sort that Wipp has ever done.
Go to Comment
Crystal golems are of low intelligence and will follow only the simplest of commands. They are, however, completely loyal and immune to any enchantments which affect the living. Once animated, their finely sculpted forms come to fully to life. They are perfectly mobile and display no jerkiness in their motions.

DURANT, OK -- Two Durant businesses are cleaning up after being burglarized. Police say Friday morning an employee arrived at Texoma Truss on West Main St. to find a shattered front door, but nothing was taken.
While police were investigating that burglary, an officer noticed a broken window and shoeprints by the shattered glass at nearby Agee Farmer's Insurance.
An employee told police more than one thousand dollars were stolen from a cash box.
Right now there are no suspects.

MONTREAL -- We have known the Pittsburgh Penguins to be a team of destiny. And we have seen what a team of destiny can do, winning twice on the road in Game 7s last spring, including the deciding game of the Stanley Cup finals.
But does destiny have a best-before date? Does destiny run out, fade away?
If so, have we seen just that before our very eyes?
What happens, for instance, when the Penguins meet another team with destiny on its mind in a one-game, winner-take-all showdown?
In the wake of the Montreal Canadiens' stirring 4-3 win in Game 6 here Monday night, their third straight win in an elimination game this spring, we are about to find out.
One thing is certain: There is room for only one team on the train to Stanley Cup glory and one team only. And sometime Wednesday night, all the talk of destiny and glory will come to a sudden and crashing end for one of these two teams.
"When you go back to the first series, we were down 3-1, and same thing right now, we were down 3-2 and we didn't give up and we are not giving up," said Montreal netminder Jaroslav Halak, who stopped 34 of 37 shots to put the Canadiens into their second straight Game 7 showdown. "We are going to Pittsburgh. It's us or them. So it's going to be do or die for both of the teams, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a great game."
He's right.
Wednesday night in Pittsburgh has all the makings of a classic. If the Penguins cannot find a way to shake loose of Montreal, it will be the final game in Mellon Arena, and what a strange, bitter way to close out that arena's history.
"Clearly everyone in the building at Mellon will understand what is at stake -- you are either moving on or you are going home," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "I think that is one of the great challenges of playoff hockey: the refocus, depending on whether you have won or lost. That's the challenge for both teams. We know what it is at stake. We have to go home at Mellon Arena and play our best game and be ready for that."
All series long, we have waited for the Penguins to exert themselves, to use their experience and superior skill to somehow brush the Canadiens to the side. Yet, even as the Canadiens lose key personnel, as they get pushed closer to the brink, they seem to somehow grow stronger.
Our colleague Pierre LeBrun asked during Game 6, at what point do we start thinking of this Canadiens team in terms of 1993, that magical spring when every hurdle was sailed over, every adversity met with aplomb, every overtime game a sure victory?
And why not ask that question out loud as we prepare for Game 7? When the Canadiens lost Hal Gill in the third period of Game 5 and he was a late scratch for Game 6, it seemed the moment would be right for the Penguins to impose their will and move on. They did so in the first round against Ottawa, trailing 3-0 in Game 6 before coming back to win in overtime and advance.
Just 1:13 into Monday's game, the Pens gave up the first goal when Mike Cammalleri sailed a high shot past a surprised Marc-Andre Fleury. But following a trend, the Penguins responded. Sidney Crosby, he of the prodigious goal-scoring drought, banged home a waist-high puck to tie it with his first in seven games.
When Kris Letang snuck a soft shot under Halak's arm on the power play to give the Penguins a 2-1 lead early in the second (the first bad goal Halak has allowed in this series, by the way), you wondered if this was the moment when the scales would finally tilt the Penguins' way. They dominated several power plays. They rang a couple of shots off the post. Yet they could not deliver the death blow. A team that has its names engraved on the Stanley Cup, a team that puts other teams away, couldn't do it.
Instead, the Penguins became confused on a potential icing call and ended up being hemmed in their own zone. Then, there was an actual icing call, and then a second, and then it seemed as though the air went out of the Penguins' sails. The Canadiens pressed. After a turnover at the Pittsburgh blue line, Maxime Talbot lost sight of Cammalleri, who took an Andrei Kostitsyn pass and whipped a backhand past Fleury to tie the score at 2.
Just 2:30 later defenseman Jaroslav Spacek, playing for the first time in 10 games after battling what is believed to be an inner ear/vertigo problem, snuck a slap shot from the point through a maze of players to give the Canadiens a 3-2 lead through two periods.
The Bell Centre was a madhouse. The crowd was so noisy, the public-address announcer had to wait until after a television timeout to announce the assists on the Cammalleri goal.
The mythology of home-ice advantage has been well-documented this spring. Statistically speaking, it doesn't exist. Yet try and tell that to the Habs and their faithful fans on this night.
"You hear so much about it," said Scott Gomez, who drew an assist on the Spacek goal. "A lot of us have been through some big games ... been in a lot of arenas, been to a lot of sporting events, but people here, definitely we're proud of our fans."
Maxim Lapierre, a player who took not one but two diving penalties in one game earlier this season, delivered a virtuoso performance, picking up a loose puck on the left side, driving down the boards and cutting to the center untouched before scoring through a crowd at the 11:03 mark of the third period to give the Canadiens a two-goal lead.
It would turn out to be the winner with Bill Guerin scoring with 1:14 left.
So, even with Crosby scoring, even with another Penguins power-play goal, even without Gill in the lineup, the Canadiens found a way to take this series to the limit. The Canadiens again won the five-on-five battle, scoring all four goals at even strength. They again found a hero in Spacek, who helped keep the Habs' dream alive for at least one more night.
"I know I can compete with these guys," Spacek said. "It's Game 6 in the second round, the Stanley Cup champions; it's not easy, elimination around the corner. You just want to go out there and bring your A-game, and I try my best. Happy face finally. I was grumpy for a couple of weeks."
And so, we return to Pittsburgh for one final, improbable contest, just as we returned to Washington two weeks ago for one final, improbable contest. For much of this Canadiens journey, we have waited for reality, the sound of the pin popping the balloon. Maybe it happens in Game 7 on Wednesday, or maybe this is what destiny looks like up close.
But no one in the Canadiens' room is pinching himself at this stage.
"No, not at all. For us, it is the reality," Cammalleri said. "If you pinch yourself, you are beat. I remember when you first come into the league, if you start sitting around and staring in awe and catching flies, you'll be out pretty quick.
"Now, we belong and we're having fun. Now, we have an opportunity to go knock these guys off in Game 7, so let's go enjoy it."

I'm an Army airborne vet from a small town in Missouri. Summer of 2008, I ended my active duty status and moved to Tampa. Since then, I have been working with computers, attending college, and going out whenever and wherever. At this time, I am currently one of the engineers at LabTech Software. And I love it! Anyways, geek is the best way to describe me. Whether I'm working in the States or a hostile country, I'm always surrounded by PCs, gadgets, and games. I wouldn't want it any other way. When I'm not being a geek, I am out running miles after miles, looking for a good time, and hanging out with friends.

more on woodland farmers market
Saturday mornings 9:00 am to noon
The Woodland Farmers Market is different from most farmers markets because it is made up of local farmers and vendors. By local, we mean that no vendor will drive more than 1 hour to get to this market. Our goal is to supply our customers with the freshest produce possible and this will be our 20th year in doing this!. Most of our vendors are actually the one growing the produce being sold! You can actually have a conversation and meet the person growing the food you are feeding your family. How great is that! Knowing where your food is coming from is very important these days especially with all of the news reports about the latest food contamination being reported. The Woodland Farmers Market is a great way for you to be part of " farm to fork ". We have two locations for our farmers market so that everyone in our community has easier access to the locally grown, fresh produce. We are true believers that if more people eat the fresh produce that we offer at the farmers market, more people would eat the fresh produce because of the taste alone! So come on out and visit us and you too will be hooked on the taste of fresh fruits and vegetables!

The Long[er] Story
Throughout the many pages of Then Heather Said, you will find a variety of topics. A smorgasbord of awesomeness, if you will.
THS started as a place share my heart as I began the healing process after my broken engagement. Over the years I have tried to be open and honest with the process of growth, understanding, and pain. I hope that discussing these things in detail will bring comfort to others who are possibly going through similar heart break.
Weight Loss:
So far, I've lost over 60lbs the healthy way; good foods and exercise. In recent years I've noticed I cycle through a 15 lb gain and loss each year, during my running "off season." I'm working towards the day when my total weight lost will be 70 lbs and remain maintained. I'm not an "after," I'm a "during."
Running & Getting Fit:
Since the Fall of 2009, I have adopted a much more active lifestyle. I enjoy exercise [though, admittedly, not every day – some days I do have to talk myself into it] and have discovered a love of running. I've run several races over the years and look forward to running further and faster each spring, summer and fall. I plan to log some miles in all 50 states in my lifetime.
THS Kitchen:
Since first starting THS, I've taken the opportunity to become a bit more creative in the kitchen. I'm constantly looking for inspired ways to conquer the cooking for two challenge, without abandoning fresh ideas and nutritional value along the way. I don't define my diet as this or that, and eat what I want, when I want it. I have learned that my body responds best when I eat certain types of foods and try to choose those as often as possible, but I don't hold back from ANY certain food or beverage if it's something I want.
More Than:
To me, healthy living is not only about nutrition and fitness; it is more than what you are eating and what kind of exercise you are doing each week. Several friends have offered their own perspectives on other facets of a healthy lifestyle in the More Than Series. I share about a lot more than nutrition and fitness myself, from other "physical health" topics to mental wellness, spirituality, self-awareness and personal growth. Overall health and happiness is the name of the game in these parts!
I Believe:
You can expect to find me passing along inspiration and motivation that I find in my day to day life. Saturdays are simple, spotlighting a quote to focus on, and I'm often willing to discuss kindness at large, as well as in the small crevices of our relationships with others, and especially with ourselves.
So Much More:
Including but not limited to recommendations, crafty creations, stories, recaps, personal experiences, goal setting and productivity tips, thoughts, blog talk, suggestions and advice. Because I just can't help myself and feel an uncontrollable urge to share with you.

hey Heather! just found your blog via spabettie's blog 🙂 i'm originally from Wisconsin as well. i'm having fun perusing your posts!
have a great day 🙂
I just found your blog today – and I think you are amazing! I started my weight lost journey five years ago – but a breakup a year and a half ago totally rocked my world. I felt like I had to re-learn to do a lot of the things I'd been doing for years (eat, exercise, and live). I can't wait to keep reading – and I think you look beautiful already (and did before too)!
Hi Heather! I read Colleen's guest post and I'm so glad I found your blog! Looks like you're doing an amazing job and I can't wait to keep up with it! 🙂
Hi Heather, I was looking at fannetasticfood.com tweet updates and I love browsing other blog sites. I am so happy to find your blog. You are awesome. You have courage to loose that weight and change your life style. I too have lost 45 pounds since last July. It was a have to thing for me. I am a diabetic and I wanted to continue to live. I am a young senior citizen (60 something) and it was not easy. I am still loosing but slowly. I started walking and I am up to 3 miles per day now and my goal is 5 miles. I do zumba gold and k bells at the senior center and I love it. You keep up the good work Heather. I love the name of your blog.
You are truly inspirational. You are so confident, strong, and independent, and you know exactly what you believe and what you want. I love your blog! I'll be continuing to follow along 🙂
Hi, Heather!
I'm so glad that I read the long[er] story 🙂 I found your blog through HLB.com, and at first, came by your blog to say thanks for all your hard work that you do for the site.
After reading your story, this may sound cheesy, but I really felt you, with everything that you wrote. Your inspiring and a great, beautiful person! I'm so lucky to have found your blog. Many thanks, and am looking forward to read more of your posts! 🙂
So happy I found you blog…you are fabulous and I'm looking forward to your future posts!
hey Heather, I found your blog through a tweet about your list making. I use to make lists, but I never got around to completing them and that upset me so I stopped. I'm not originally from Wisconsin but I live here right now. I can't wait to read more of your posts.

It's only the first week of June and already the New York Yankees are feeling the sweltering heat. As temperatures reach 100 degrees throughout the city and Lady Liberty opts for a lower, summer cut, the Yankees are still floudering around .500.
The pressure doesn't seem to be as intense this year after the comebacks of recent years and the experimentation with a younger starting rotation have created a lighter mood in the Bronx. However, the time for the Yankees to make a run is now as the pieces are beginning to melt into place.
The Yankees have a favorable schedule coming up that could prove helpful in making a push towards first. They open a three game set tonight in Oakland where they have something like a .900 winning percentage over the last decade.
The Yankees will then head to Houston for the weekend before returning home to face the lowly Padres and Broken Red Machine. They also get the Pirates, Mets, Rangers, Red Sox, Blue Jays and a cute two game series against the Rays before All-Star breaking in the Bronx. The Yankees haven't proved they can just go out there and take care of business just yet (splitting with the Royals this weekend) but if the road is favorable for at least this stretch of the schedule.
It's also about time the team starts clicking on all cylinders. Most of the bats are coming alive, but Girardi and Co. have to find a way to get them going all at once. Johnny Damon maybe the hottest player in baseball but Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu have cooled off a bit behind him. Alex Rodriguez continues to pound away at pitching with the discretion of Kimbo Slice. Hideki Matsui has been the most consistent cog in the lineup all year and Jason Giambi is morphing his porn star meets substitute teacher stache-look into a reliable power source. With Jorge back in the lineup, Cano and Cabrera need to constantly contribue to make the bottom of the order the most formidable in baseball.
Chien-Ming Wang started the year hotter than any other pitcher in the American League but recently he's been pitching like it's the postseason. Andy Pettite should start to strengthen and not allow teams to put up ten spots. Mike Mussina has emerged as the ace of the staff but they can't count on him to keep this pace up forever.
The Yankees need to solve the Joba dilemma and fast. It continues to distract the veterans as they constantly have to answer questions about how they think Joba faired. Also, a pitcher shouldn't have to deal with a pre-determined pitch count before he steps on the mound. Joba is a competitor and wants to last long into the game. In the back of his mind he has to always be thinking of the pitch count which forces him to press for outs and rush his rhythm. If he didn't feel pressured to end the inning on that pitch, Joba may have gone outside the zone looking to get Jose Guillen to chase on Sunday rather than hanging a 3-2 slider.
As the thermometer rises and the weather becomes more and more appropriate for golden thongs, the Yankees need to feel a sense of urgency. However, as long as the Rays control the Wild Card and Kyle Farnsworth's plans to sabotage the Yankees are kept at bay, the Yanks will always stand a chance.
