Last week we saw how easy it is to create an automatic table of contents (TOC). One of the best ways to take advantage of the automatic-ness of it comes in when you add and/or remove content to/from your document. If you create it manually, changes to your document could totally obliterate your table of contents –and there are ALWAYS changes! Since you know how to work smarter and create the automatic version, all you have to do is remember to use those built-in styles we talked about last week and simply tell word to update it for you.
Personally, I think the right-click method is the easiest.
Simply right-click in the Table of Contents area. (It will likely have a gray background. ) Then select the Update Field.. option.
Update the table of contents (Menu Option)
If you added or removed headings or other table of contents entries in your document, you can quickly update the table of contents.
- On the References tab, in the Table of Contents group, click Update Table.
- Click Update page numbers only or Update entire table.
Delete a table of contents
Of course if things get totally messed up you can always just delete the whole thing and start over.
- On the References tab, in the Table of Contents group, click Table of Contents.
- Click Remove Table of Contents.
If you'd like to see this in action or give it a try yourself here's a copy of my sample document: Word-TableOfContents

On Monday, a Cook County judge heard arguments from Schaumburg resident Michelle Brennan who is refusing to take responsibility for the disturbed writings, unnerving lyrics, and bizarre artwork of a local nutjob and is asking that the creative spark that was taken from her by this creepy basket-case be returned as soon as possible.

Brennan, a local actress and model, unwittingly provided encouragement and inspiration to area kook Thomas Franklin through her appearance in a Humane Society ad in the Chicago Sun Times last fall. The ad asked the reader, and was directed personally at him according to Franklin, to "Make a Difference!"

Franklin vowed to follow Brennan's call to action and felt emboldened to write over 30 songs focused on her and the inspiring example she sets for animal advocacy. Brennan immediately filed suit, fearing that being in some way tied to Franklin's insane creations might impugn her character, destroy her public persona, and ruin a promising career.

Brennan denied claims that she looked straight into the eyes of Franklin from the half page ad in the Entertainment section and said she had no personal message for him. Franklin countered in his testimony that he and his beautiful muse are connected on a spiritual level and thus the spark she provides is irrevocable.

"We are intimately involved," Franklin told the court, ". . . like through our brainwaves, man!"

Brennan also denied she whispers words of encouragement in Franklin's ears while he sleeps and rejected his account that she is mouthing "I am fated to be yours" in each subsequent weekend ad run.

"I was flattered for the first delivery of what would become a total of 18 dozen roses, but then I felt like it was getting out of control," admitted Brennen, who has since moved back in with her parents John and Eva Brennan of Evanston out of concern for her privacy and safety.

"She puts thoughts in my head and drives me to create!" Franklin interupted more than once.

He also argued that her inspiration is a part of the public domain and is available to anyone. ". . .and for any reason," he added while giving a knowing nod and a wink to the circuit court bailiff, which drew cringes and looks of disgust from Brennan and the other women in the courtroom.

Franklin was unconvinced by argument, saying that she is merely playing coy and prefers a low profile, allowing him to claim the spotlight.

"She's just hiding how proud she is for breathing life into the play I wrote entitled The Passion of the Michelle."

Barring any court injunction, Franklin's play is due to begin its performance next month in the service alley behind the Harris Theatre on East Randolph Street. It is described on hand-scrawled paper napkins handed to passersby to be about salvation, redemption, and will include a 30-minute crucifixion scene.

Brennan is also asking for the removal of Franklin's most recently crafted masterpiece currently displayed just behind the treeline in Millennium Park. The piece of "art" was unveiled this weekend to an audience of uninterested park-goers and park security who gave him a citation for not having a permit. Witnesses reported that Franklin revealed an 18 ft chicken wire and Play-Doh sculpture of Michelle Brennan holding both a Cocker Spaniel and a miniature version of himself in her lap; all encircled by a ring of a 3ft tall dancing anthropomorphized dog bone chewie toys.

"If that's not malicious libel, I don't know what is," Brennan's lawyer said. "I beg the court to end the defamation of this young lady's reputation."

Franklin ended his version of events with an appeal to the court's sense of appreciation for artistic inspiration.

"She has given me the freedom and motivation to accomplish anything I want," he said.

Anything, that is, except stand within a 500 foot proximity of Ms Brennan according to the restraining order then issued by the court.

According to a recently published study, shaved heads, goatees, and tattoos, once worn almost exclusively by bikers, bouncers, prisoners, and pirates are no longer as frightening or intimidating as they once were.

This finding comes out of the Violence Prevention Foundation, an educational foundation that studies the impact of violence on American culture. The report shows that while the characteristics have historically instilled a sense of fear or dread in the populace, they have since been relegated to mere fashion accessories.

"Long gone are the days where you run into a guy in a bar, who has most or all of these indicators, and expect to be robbed and pounded into a coma," said Sheila Saunders, director of the foundation. "Now, he could very well be an accountant, or in marketing, maybe even your hair stylist.

No longer will such an individual immediately take an aggressive stance with you either, according to the study. Now there is overwhelming evidence that he might very well shrink away to avoid any confrontation.

"It really is an astounding shift in behavior that we are really only now starting to understand," Saunders said.

In years past, a clean bald head was often brandished by a ruffian, a gang-banger, or say, a gladiator. It comes as no surprise that the public would want to avoid such a character. In fact, the foundation had only recently updated its brochures and counselling guidelines which previously recommended staying clear of these people at all costs.

Now, explains Saunders, the fashion fad of shaving one's head, for example, is one of the most common styles that men choose when their hair begins to thin out. "It really is the 21st century version of the comb-over," she said with a chuckle.

As for tattoos, the foundation was surprised to find out that there are only 234 people in America who have not yet been inked somewhere on their body.

"It really says nothing about you anymore," Saunders said. "No one can spend a drunk weekend in Panama City without being dared by your best friend and her sister into getting some Chinese characters tattooed on your lower back".

Saunders also downplayed the barbed wire tattoos found on upper arms, saying that the "bad-ass quotient" applied to this feature in the study had fallen substantially over recent years.

"The guy that delivers our mail has one of those," Saunders said, and then whispered, "I can tell you that dude hasn't been to the gym in decades so I don't know what he's trying to show off."

There are some exceptions, however. The study revealed that there are still some tattoos that will invoke justifiable fear in most people. For example:

Religious and political icons tattooed in between the eyes – indicates that your ideology trumps the safety and well being of those around you.

Tattoos that spread across the neck and onto the face – shows you don't give a shit about what anyone thinks

Branded tattoos, indicating that you've sold space on your body to market a product – seriously, we don't know what to think about that

Your dead cousin's name or image tattooed on your shoulder and/or back – tells everyone that standing anywhere near you might be dangerous

What are commonly called "goatees" are actually a variation of the Vandyke, a distinction that is brought up all the time, but one that no one seems to care about anymore.

"They were invariably worn by musketeers, in common depictions of the Devil, and popular with early 20th century magicians," Saunders said. "We often associate this style of facial hair with alternate universe counterparts of ourselves or evil twins. . .that and eye patches for some reason."

The research indicates that now, goatees are worn by almost a third of all 30-45 year-old men as an ineffective way to draw attention from a receding hairline.

Now that these once frightening characteristics are no longer good indicators of ferocity, the Center instead instructs that you visually inspect to see if the man standing in front of you in an aggressive manner is wielding some sort of weapon, such as a knife or a gun.

"The Violence Prevention Foundation now recommends you should avoid that sort of person," Saunders warns

After all the red tape and years of waiting for the Illinois Adopt-a-Highway program to grant their wish of having their very own section of interstate to care for, Jeff and Jennifer Reed of Downers Grove grew frustrated and decided to take a very different route, yet one that is becoming more travelled with road-less couples in recent years. The Reeds will join the thousands of Americans who are adopting foreign roads and freeways.

While there is no shortage of needy expressways, thoroughfares and turnpikes in the United States, the time it takes to complete the adoption process has become burdensome and frustrating for Americans like the Reeds and so they settled on pursuing an adoption in China.

They had long considered other Asian countries like Laos and Thailand, as well as some locations in Central America. Finally narrowing their search to China, they eventually settled on looking at parts of the beltway just outside of Tianjin, a port city located along the Hai He River.

As it turns out, the Reeds made the right decision and adoption approval came quickly. With much anticipation and relief, they hopped on a plane to the opposite side of the world to finally see the two-mile stretch of the four-lane Chinese freeway they had been mercifully granted.

Jeff Reed explained that China was an optimal choice for them because of the millions of miles of un-adopted highways. Due to a recent bustling economy which is seeing a larger percentage of white collar workers and an increasingly skilled workforce, there are fewer and fewer people willing to take care of these growing number of abandoned roads. It is being called the Peking Parkway Crisis.

"It's so sad," Jeff Reed said. "You really can't go more than a mile or two outside the city without running into a stretch of roadway that has no one to care for it."

Jennifer Reed said that they have also wrestled with concerns about about how they would end up taking care of their newly adopted highway.

"We really debated about how we would treat it," she said, "but in the end, we felt it best to maintain it like an American road because that's what we are most familiar with."

Upon arrival to the Tianjin area, they were driven by their local placement counselor past the littered and overgrown roads on the way to see their newly acquired bundle of asphalt and concrete. Jennifer Reed shook her head and wiped a tear from her cheek, and expressed how sad it was to see all of these unkempt, unloved miles.

"I just wish we could adopt them all!" she said.

As the car approached their allocated section, they could see a green sign surrounded by empty orange trashbags on the side of the road. An armed Chinese policeman stood stoic next to the sign; a welcoming sight. The Reeds thought back to all the waiting, the paperwork, the classes taken at the local community college about Chinese gathering techniques. Everything was now culminating to this one emotional event.

The couple's eyes lit up as they got to their their destination. Getting out out of the vehicle they walked hand in hand, crying tears of joy as they approached the sign. A sign they had waited years to see. A sign, written in Chinese pīnyīn characters, that simply read:

Adopt-a-Highway

Litter cleanup under penalty of imprisonment

next 3 km – The Reeds – USA

"Hope we know what we got ourselves into," Jeff Reed said with a chuckle as he handed a orange vest and bag to his wife.

Claims made by 16-year old Taylor Samuelson about having a "super hot girlfriend that lives in Canada", have been met with resounding skepticism by everyone who knows the Waukegan area teenager.

That is, until this last weekend.

Samuelson's seemingly fantastical tales of a deep –and previously unverified– love forged at Muskrat Rivers Computer Camp in central Wisconsin over the summer, were recently confirmed when a young lady matching the description he provided was found this last Sunday alive and surprisingly well in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Prior to this amazing discovery, friends experienced a whirlwind of intrigue, speculation, and vicariously-induced arousal for the last few weeks as Samuelson spun incredible tales about "this hot chick from . .. uh. . .Canada" who let him get to second base. Samuelson's only evidence of her existence was a picture cut out of Teen Vogue and it came as no surprise that his paltry evidence had been met with much incredulity.

"That's BS, man," said Taylor's older brother Keith, making it clear to all who would listen that a magazine photos offers scant proof that "any girl would get near this total tool."

""Hey look everybody," the older Samuelson joked while holding up a lingerie catalogue. "I"m dating Gisele Bündchen!"

But Samuelson's siblings, and friends, and most of the town of Waukegan would soon eat their words.

Fortunately for the lovestruck Samuelson and to the astonishment of everyone, 16-year old Sarah Fox, who is described as "sorta tall, um, a great body, and uh. . .nice skin", was finally found at the studio where she apparently models. Even when asked a second and third time if she serious, the 2010 Miss Teen Ontario runner-up was willing to fully corroborate his story.

Samuelson's close friend, Chase Graham, was impressed to hear that his buddy had actually made out with some hot foreign chick he met at camp in the Wisconsin Dells area. "Of all places," Graham added.

"She's like totally into him, or so he told us," said Graham, who admitted he was happy for his friend, adding that "[Taylor] typically kept his distance from the girls in our school because they think he's a complete dork."

Suspicions grew, however, when fellow students asked if they could meet this mystery woman. Apparently Samuelson struggled with the line of questioning, only replying that "it probably wouldn't happen because she doesn't live around here."

"I gave Taylor the benefit of the doubt on the whole Canada thing," Graham said, "because everyone knows that those Canuck chicks are so killer, right?"

Fox, who shares an interest in X-Men graphic novels, first person shooter computer games, and amateur astronomy was happy to talk about their relationship and expressed her own frustration with the disbelief from her own circle of friends.

Fox complained that none of her girlfriends believed she had met a kind, intelligent, and funny boy in the United States. "They thought I was making the whole thing up."

Their cynicism was not unfounded, of course, owing to the common wild-eyed fabrication amongst attractive teenage Canadian girls claiming to have serious boyfriends who are really smart and really sweet and live just outside of Chicago.

UNITED KINGDOM -- As the political climate came to a boil this last year, readers' letter submissions to Penthouse magazine were soon to follow. Straying from the usual descriptions of fantastical sexual adventures, the reader's forum became dominated by political rants and policy opinion pieces.

Penthouse Media Group, Inc, which owns the magazine, recently acknowledged the concerns of investors, industry critics, and their readership that increased levels of political rhetoric as encountered on today's news pundit shows, town-halls, and on internet message boards have unfortunately spilled over onto Penthouse's Forum pages.

"It sort of crept up on us", said Sarah Trufant, Penthouse's communications director. "Last June we started to get a letter here and there about tea-bagging and we thought nothing of it."

Trufant was shocked to learn that the term actually had alternative political overtones rather than when a guy....well, puts...well...you know. By then it was too late and the men's magazine was soon overrun with opinionated vitriol.

Now, political commentaries are typically drowning out the more familiar stories readers have grown accustomed to over the last 40 years. In depth stories describing home-from-college encounters with hot neighbors, European backpacking threesomes, and broken-down elevator trysts with complete strangers are being replaced with heated ideological rants.

Reading a forum letter from the May issue of Penthouse Magazine, Trufant made clear the disturbing trend.

Dear Penthouse Forum,
I never thought this would happen to me. I attend a small midwestern college and after I pulled my groin playing ultimate frisbee, I found myself alone with this hot triage nurse in the emergency room.

Boy, was I in for a surprise when she closed the privacy drapes, approached me slowly, and then told me that I had lost my health insurance coverage and I'd have to pay for my treatment out of pocket.

There was no way I had that kind of cash and I asked her with a wink if there was another way I could pay for treatment. She pulled closer and whispered that in fact the hospital had a Sisters of St Mary's charity care program and I'd need to fill out some forms she could provide me....

A submission from a reader named Troy was similarly policy-focused:

Dear Penthouse Forum,

I don't normally write into men's magazines, but after reading Tricia from Maine's letter in the September issue, I got so hot and bothered with rage I could barely contain myself. The way she described the TARP bailout made me want to get her alone in a room and really give it to her in a way so she'd understand that the taxpayer should not have to foot the bill to save the 'too big to fail' banking industry...

The letter continued with how important it is to realize that the size of financial regulation shouldn't matter so much as how it is used.
Trufant hopes that once the mid-term elections are over in November, readers will begin to see the letters-to-the-editor section return to the fantasies of real people with real lives and away from lurid conspiracies of Nazi/Communist/Kenyan takeover and elicit descriptions of privatized Social Security.

Hundreds of thousands of lonely American citizens, consistently ignored by their neighbors, co-workers, and families, found some potential solace when they received a postcard from the Federal Government earlier this year indicating even they would be contacted as part of the U.S 2010 Census.

Upon learning that someone held an interest in who they were and what their lives were like, socially inept outcasts and the perpetually ignored citizens across the country waited with anticipation for the census forms to arrive.

As required by the Constitution, the U.S. Census is charged with counting every resident in the United States, even those citizens that nobody cares about. The questions are limited to collecting information about residents' names, address, age, sex, and race in order to properly allocate federal funds targeted towards public works projects, hospitals, schools, and emergency services.

Having no common bond with anyone around her, Sarah Feldman, a lonely Chicago area resident, was excited to open up her newly arrived correspondence and eager to tell someone –anyone– about her personal attributes, anxious to share her hopes, dreams, and aspirations.

Unfortunately for Feldman's fragile self image, the Census questionnaire was no more interested in her well-being --or what her summer plans were-- than anyone else she may boldly claim as an acquaintance.

"This is it?" Feldman asked with disappointment, realizing that the form was limited to 10 simple questions, and not one was about how her day was going. "It's like only a page long!"

Feldman was quick to notice that there was no place to tell anyone about her three cats, who she claimed are like children to her.

"I'd want to write about how cute they are when they wrestle or how this one time, when Mr. Kittles found The Big Bopper lounging in his warm spot in the kitch. . . " Feldman said as this reporter lost interest.

"Also, it didn't ask what religion I was." Feldman said. "I had just converted to the Seventh Day Adventists and now I'm much more at peace. By the way, have you found Jes–."

Feldman was unable to offer anything else of substance but was intrigued that the Census form did ask for her phone number. She has since spent long hours sitting by the phone waiting for someone to call.

Census Bureau Director Robert Groves has been surprised at the pathetic responses from Americans that spanned cultural, racial, and educational backgrounds.

"The slogan for the 2010 US Census is 'We can't move forward until you mail it back,'" said Director Groves. "Although, it appears as though some of our solitary citizenry are having a great deal of difficulty moving forward."

The Census Bureau reports having received tens of thousands of letters from shut-ins and the homebound hoping that the agency that resides within the Department of Commerce would soon write back.

"They are begging that we please 'ask them something else. . . anything'," Director Groves said. "We cannot be your pen pal."

Additionally, many were further distraught to learn that the Census is only conducted once a decade and won't be back in 2011.

"I was hoping a census worker would drop by maybe next year," said Feldman, who hasn't had a face to face conversation with anyone for three months due to being chronically homebound with agoraphobia. "No one ever came to see me this time. . . . someone please visit me."Jason Ghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-2840861134820265772010-06-08T13:55:00.000-07:002010-07-12T13:02:46.514-07:00Al-Qaeda Inadvertently Accepts CIA's Facebook Friend Request

In one of the most successful intelligence windfalls in years, the Central Intelligence Agency is celebrating its recent acquisition of crucial terrorist operational data and network connections obtained only after becoming al-Qaeda's friend on Facebook.

Why the international terrorist organization made such a tactical blunder in allowing the American spy agency into their inner circle is not entirely clear. However, after a years-long intelligence stalemate, agency sources indicate that al-Qaeda accepted the CIA's friend request in early May of this year.

"It was a complete one in a million shot but we had exhausted all of our options" CIA spokesman, Paul Gimigliano said, "but after experiencing only modest intel gains lately, we just went for it to see what would happen."

Gimigliano credits the Agency's success to a recently hired data analyst who suggested a new social media battle front against international terror networks. In December, a request was sent to the Director of the Office of Terrorism Analysis for the establishment of a joint operation to click the "Add as Friend" button.

Five months later, "Operation Evildoer Link" was launched and after four days of nail-biting anticipation, a message came through indicating that the secretive terrorist organization finally accepted the CIA as its Facebook friend. As a result, the CIA was rewarded with a treasure trove of network connections, photo albums, friend lists, as well as likes and interests.

CIA officials were amazed at how easy it was to access the terror network's inner friend circle but it became clear that the need for social acceptance was al-Qaeda's achilles heel.

"As it turns out, they were friending anyone who would ask," Gimigliano said. ". . .how do you have 4,000 friends, really? We should have thought of this a long time ago."

Within days, the CIA exhausted their collection of data from al-Qaeda's main wall page, quickly cataloguing who it was talking to, recent insurgency operations it attended, and its "liking" attacks on infidels by other terrorist groups. Investigators then stumbled upon a much longer record of its reign of terror by clicking an "Older Posts" link at the bottom of the page.

"It just opened up a complete history of their operations," Gimigliano said. "As it turns out, they were actually involved in the 9-11 attacks after all. . .glad we were able to put that to rest."

CIA analysts were again able to get a deeper understanding of the group's nefarious enterprise by clicking the "info" button which revealed what activities al-Qaeda was into, its interests, where it went for training, and its favorite movies (none), music (none), and television shows (none).

This release of operational information to western intelligence agencies has been devastating. Al-Qaeda has subsequently found its leadership decimated and had several major attack plans thwarted over the last month. However, just as it has in the past, al-Qaeda will adjust and adapt and the CIA is preparing for that day.

Example of thwarted al Qaeda operation

"Now that they've de-friended us, we'll have to look for other sources of information," said the CIA's spokesman. "We hope we can get one of our agents to join a Yemini terrorist club on Meetup.com or something."

Currently, the CIA is hoping al Zawahiri (al-Qaeda's #2) will accept their recent LinkedIn connection request.

"It's more of a business-oriented networking site," Gimigliano said, ". . . more of a trusted professional thing, so we don't think he will suspect anything."Jason Ghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-23403789835836762072010-06-03T09:57:00.000-07:002010-06-03T10:04:18.939-07:00FEMA Releases Preparation Guide for an Extinction-sized Meteorite Impact

WASHINGTON -- The thought of an approaching meteor the size of Manhattan is certain to cause anyone a fair amount of anxiety. However, you can provide some level of comfort to your family by attempting to prepare for this once-in-a-billion-years event.

Small objects are constantly colliding with the earth every day, and most go unnoticed. Large meteors however will very rarely cross Earth's orbit but one can never be too prepared for "the big one".

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has released simple recommendations that will guide you in avoiding the apocolyptic devastation that astronomers tell us isn't a matter of "if" but rather "quite possibly any day now. . .I mean, you never know".

This excerpt from FEMA's guide on Preparing for an Extinction-sized Meteorite Impact should help you get ready for the earth shaking impact and the complete destruction to follow:

Preparing for an Extinction-sized Meteorite Impact - A FEMA Guide to your Health and Safety

In advance of death raining down from the heavans, Government agencies may issue health and safety advisories or recommendations as to how to prepare for the impending annihilation of all sentient life.

If you have any questions or concerns, you should contact your local or state emergency management department and pay close attention to the important instructions conveyed through their panicked screams.

Here are some tips for riding out the all-encompassing devastation.

Be sure to stay indoors. The great majority of injuries during such an impact are cuts and abrasions caused by flying shards as well as huge chunks of the meteorite and earthly debris. Additionally, expect a fair amount of incineration from the molten planetary crust raining down from the skies.

Make certain that you collect all essential medications --both prescription and over the counter-- for your emergency kit. You should then be able to adequately sedate or induce a state of detached euphoria for you and your family to ride out the destruction of all of humanity.

No need to wear eye protection as the resulting fireball from the impact will likely be beyond the horizon so you'll be safe from any immediate thermal radiation. However, you'll want to reinforce windows and doors to guard against the 1,000 mph super-heated airblast encircling the globe.

Collect your cold weather wear to ride out the decade-long winter created by the sun being obstructed by atmospheric ash and smoke. Temperatures could drop below freezing --even in the summer-- and because you'll be without electricity or a natural gas supply for years to come, you'll want to bundle up.

Keep your clothes and perishables in sealed plastic bags so they don't get wet from the 800 meter-high tsunami that will destroy coastal communities worldwide.

Pack up a couple of week's worth of canned and dry food items as well as bottles of water. In doing so, you'll keep yourself occupied and not worry yourself about the coming mass extinction event not seen since the end of the Permian some 250 million years ago.

Develop a family emergency plan so everyone will know where to meet under the shadow of their impending doom.

You too can improve the perception that you are doing something to make you and you loved ones safe by going to FEMA.gov and download the complete copy. The guide is expected to be updated sometime after December 2012.Jason Ghttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-36460343761183039582010-05-18T18:32:00.000-07:002010-05-19T19:13:28.498-07:00Scientists To Define Kilogram As Being 1/100th The Mass Of Area Man

At their recent General Conference, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (IBWM) has chosen to define the kilogram --roughly equal to about 2.2 lbs and the base unit of metric mass in standard scientific measurements and calculations-- to be precicely 1/100 the mass of Travis Phillips, a warehouse manager for a Chicago-area Best Buy distribution center.

After two decades of debate, physicists have chosen to assign the most widely used scientific measurement as being exactly one hundredth the mass of Phillips who, despite frequent attempts to get in shape, has been stuck at a consistant weight of 100 KG, or 220.42262 lbs for over 12 years.

Bernard Colliex, a project leader for the Standards Committee for the IBWM explains the decision to take advantage of Phillips' unwavering mass as a breakthrough in maintaining scientific consistency, ensuring that all fields of investigation will henceforth hold perfect agreement over reported measurements.

"We have such confidence that Phillips will never make his weight goals, despite many failed and pathetic attempts at dieting and exercise," Colliex said, ". . . that we are willing to peg the exalted kilogram to the constant mass of this frustrated yet consistently obese man."

Since their inaugural meeting held in 1889, when the committee was charged with maintaining the uniformity of the international system of units, the kilogram has been long defined as being equal to the mass of a particular cylinder made from a platinum-iridium alloy kept in a vault near Paris, France.

Unfortunately, physicists for the international advisory group have measured slight variations in the cylinder's weight, making it unreliable. Because many units in the SI system are defined relative to the kilogram, its precision is necessary for scientific research around the world.

The committee expressed confidence that using Mr. Phillips as new reference point will give them the highest degree of precision to date. They noted that while Phillips had been known to walk a couple of miles over lunch break, he would subsequently reward himself with a McFlurry on his drive home from work, so any weight changes have been shown to be indistinguishable to 10 decimal places.Jason Ghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-29250017659819026732010-05-18T13:01:00.000-07:002010-05-18T18:10:31.208-07:00Misanthrope Mistaken for Misogynist

CHICAGO -- It's a mistake we all make every now and then; the vicious berating of a female co-worker, the insensitive demeaning of your child's fourth-grade teacher, or the vile expletives directed at a random woman in a Safeway parking lot, all of which might be taken personally.

For David Whittle, a similar circumstance almost got him into hot water at work.

Having upset three female co-workers by scoffing at their contributions in Tuesday's budget meeting, Whittle, a deputy finance director and rather distasteful human being, was mistakenly labeled as merely a woman-hater by the female members of the South Pacific Coffee Company's marketing department.

Whittle, often labeled as a sexist by the women who know him, created a flurry of outrage within the brand management team at the Chicago-based coffee distribution company. Comprised of all women, the entire marketing department was shocked by Whittle's recent comments about their apparent lack of critical thinking skills.

While attempting to get them to "think straight about their budgets", he was reported to have accused the team of having their "pretty blonde hair pulled back so tight, it cut off circulation to their chemically bleached brains."

Cynthia Reynolds, one of the targets of the verbal assault, immediately set up a meeting with Human Resources to file a complaint on behalf of the other women in the group. To her surprise, it turns out that Whittle in fact despises most everybody and does not limit his hate-filled bile to just women.

Upon learning of her mistaken attribution of chauvinism, Reynolds was embarrassed and apologetic.

"Oh dear, I had no idea," she said red-faced. "I almost made a big mistake, didn't I?"

According to Howard Regan, the company's HR manager, there was no need to be alarmed about Whittle's apparent focused rage and hatred.

"He can be a real jackass to most everyone who knows him," Regan said, "but he's relatively harmless, spreading around his prejudiced hostility equally".

Regan recounted a similar misunderstanding last week when Whittle apparently went off on Trevor from accounting for leaving the spoon drawer open in the break room, letting loose a barrage of ethnic slurs not heard since the Chicago Race Riots of 1919.

"I was able to calm Trevor down and point out that David's just a big prick to pretty much everyone," Regan said. "Good thing he's not just a bigot, or we'd have a racial harassment lawsuit on our hands."

Despite Whittle's constant personal attacks on his associates and their distinguishing characteristics, the employees of South Pacific Coffee Company were relieved to know that there was no evidence of sexual, religious, and racial harassment in the workplace.

Their traumatic experiences with Whittle have been written off as nothing more than him just being a truly awful human being, completely indiscriminate in his verbal assaults, and not specifically a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964Jason Ghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-38814733250977246572010-05-15T09:01:00.000-07:002010-05-15T09:01:04.293-07:00Ugandan Child-soldiers Call "No tag-backs" After Attack on Government Troops

KAMPALA, UGANDA-- Standing proud amidst the smoldering remains of fuel trucks and personnel carriers, 11-year old Ogwambi Sumwego, a commander in the Youth Corps of the Lord's Resistance Army, screamed "no tag-backs" to the fleeing government soldiers.

According to the small-statured Sumwego and his band of pre-teen freedom fighters, the proclamation was meant to assure there would be no retribution for the swift and brutal attack on Ugandan Army troops and supplies.

"I called it," Sumwego announced while high-fiving his vicious but socially awkward preadolescent soldiers. "We will see no retaliation from these government dogs."

Violations of international rules of war have been raised amid eyewitness reports that Sumwego ignored cries of "time out" from disoriented soldiers. Reports have surfaced that he may have even commanded his unit to fire on soldiers who had designated a nearby matoke tree as "base".

It is unclear whether Sumwego's "no tag-back" proclamation will even stand according to international observers as he failed to invoke "infinity" after his announcement, leaving the period of safe operations in that region uncertain.

Colonel Robert Sibanda, a United Nations military observer assigned to the Ugandan war zone, has some doubts as to whether the fleeing army personnel could even hear Sumwego's prepubescent voice over the secondary explosions and death throes of the government soldiers.

"If they can't even hear what you are saying, then it shouldn't count," Colonel Sibanda said.

After a long campaign of guerrilla attacks on government supply lines and paramilitary patrols, Somwego stands poised to lead his troops into the port city of Jinja by sometime in the early spring. Upon learning of his approach to the prized center of trade for southeastern Uganda, Somwego's parents, who are being held in a government work camp, were asked about their son's rise to power and recent achievements.

"We are so very proud of Ogwambi," his father, Ojore Sumwego said. "I didn't lead my first insurgency until I was 23".

Sumwego senior was quick to point out, however, that young Ogwambi had much to learn about how to properly conduct a revolution and was concerned about what his son will do once the city is taken.

"He won't appreciate how good a strategic resource he will have in his small hands," said the young partisan's father.

"Oh sure, he'll hold on to the city for a while, toy with its inhabitants," Sumwego senior said, "but then he will just get bored and move on to something else. I mean. . . that new machete we gave him for his birthday last year just sits in the garage. There is no pleasing the boy."Jason Ghttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-71811387137446520492010-05-14T12:24:00.000-07:002010-05-14T12:24:55.595-07:00Deal Struck Between Airline Passengers Leads to Sharing Drop-Down Tray Table

Delta Airline passengers Cynthia Grey of seat 7D and Ed Towson of seat 7F each laid joint tenancy claims to the drop-down tray table that belonged to the empty center seat that had remained unoccupied between them upon take-off from Chicago's O'Hare Airport.

The non-verbal, unwritten agreement was established hastily and without negotiation, just seconds prior to the delivery of Grey's orange juice and honey roasted peanuts and Towson's Pepsi and pair of Jim Beam mini bottles.

Each contract participant's refreshment was to be provided on their own allocated 16.625 by 9.625 inch square horizontal surface but the flight attendant's planned service for the two passengers was impeded by her laptop and his Super Sudoku book.

Towson's quick action to unclasp and lower the unused center seat's tray table drew implicit approval from Grey as she immediately secured half of the much needed surface space. Her requisition of the left side of the tray table was met without objection from Towson.

The two-hour agreement was not without some contentious moments however. Just minutes after the seat-belt sign turned off, Grey got up and went to the restroom. It was at that moment that Towson attempted to obtain 10% more space upon her departure. His assumption was that by her vacating the area, it was an act of acquiescence by Grey of any property claims.

An immediate challenge was levied by Grey upon her return and a new agreement was reached after fifteen minutes of non-verbal negotiations. Tactical napkin placement and subtle maneuvering of their Biscoff cookies once again resulted in a relatively equal, although rather asymmetric, sharing of the tray.

When the plane's final descent into Denver was announced, the joint-use arrangement was dissolved just as effortlessly as it was created. Without so much as a spoken word, Grey and Towson each fulfilled their final obligation to the initial agreement, applying an equal and simultaneous force to the bottom of the tray and returning it to its upright and locked position.Jason Ghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-27883052643109119872010-05-13T15:19:00.000-07:002010-05-18T12:50:40.967-07:00Nation's Pet Stores Donate Birds and Turtles to Sop Up Gulf Oil Spill.

NEW ORLEANS - The announcement that shipments of millions of small household pets would be soon arriving to the gulf region was met with cheers by cleanup crews who had all but exhausted local populations of coastal animals.

Clean up teams from across the area have been complaining that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was slow to act in replacing the dwindling number of terns, gulls, turtles, and other gulf creatures they had been using to sop up the growing volume of crude oil that was spewing into gulf waters at the rate of over 210,000 gallons a day.

Their demands appear to have been answered as pet shops from across the country mobilized and shipped hundreds of truckloads of parakeets, cockatiels, and box turtles. The first delivery of these super absorbent creatures is expected to arrive by the end of the week.

Rear Adm. Mary E. Landry, the Coast Guard's on-scene coordinator for the Louisiana oil spill disaster, expressed gratitude to the nation's pet industry for providing the much needed mopping up resources.

"Petco and PetSmart have been superb corporate partners in the response to this tragedy," said Admiral Landry. "We ran out of ibis and marsh ducks earlier this week so this couldn't come at a better time."

Crews on site may actually find the clean up to go a little quicker as the small songbirds that will be available, such as parakeets for example, are one-time use, easy to handle, and are disposable.

"The larger birds work great. I mean you can wring out a pelican and reuse it a couple of times but they are really heavy and, frankly, it's been tough to find any around here lately," said Roger Woolsey, a volunteer from nearby Gulfport. "Parakeets and budgies are excellent because they can fit in one hand and you know that you've sopped up as much as they'll take when they stop chirping."

Turtles, tortoises, and terrapins are apparently great oil collectors also, as evidenced by the large sea turtles washed up on the shores of the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts this week. But with the absence of any available live sea turtles since the weekend, crews were thrilled to have thousands of box and mud turtles at their disposal.

"I don't know where it goes, but these little guys can ingest up to twice their weight in petroleum products," said Woolsey. "Now we can get some serious clean up done.

As the oil spill disaster continues to loom, Admiral Landry expects they will need to tap into more cleaning resources and has requested that other animals be shipped in. Within the next couple of weeks, sea otters, seals, and northern sea birds will be captured and brought in from Prince William Sound in Alaska.

"Those little guys did such a great job during the Exxon Valdez spill," said Admiral Landry. "We thought we'd give them another chance to be in the spotlight."Jason Ghttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-23883464586652941722010-05-12T14:18:00.000-07:002010-05-12T14:21:42.872-07:00Rick Astley Pranks His Fans, Rick Rolls Concert-Goers

BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND– 80's pop star Rick Astley maliciously duped his fans during a concert held at the Northhampton Balloon Festival this last weekend. After finishing up a soulful cover of Nat King Cole's "When I Fall In Love", his devotees were eagerly expecting a smooth transition into the fan favorite "Together Forever". Little did they know, they were to fall victim to the most iconic of bait-and-switch pranks, the Rick Roll.

Astley caught everyone by surprise when he suddenly launched into the 1987 chart topper "Never Gonna Give You Up", leaving the audience redfaced and mouths open in disbelief, collectively realizing that they had just been fooled.

"We were all very much enjoying the show," recalled Oxford resident Celia Thompson, "…and then he really got us good."

The mood of the 800-plus crowd knew that something was dreadfully wrong as soon as Astley started into the troublingly familiar lyrics "We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I…..".

"I just can't believe I fell for that…again" Thompson said, referring to the Music-a-ganza Festival in Bedford last summer when Astley maliciously Rick Roll'd 1,200 fans who were expecting to hear songs off his most recent album Portrait.Jason Ghttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-72938195653606335812010-05-12T12:12:00.000-07:002010-06-08T13:51:48.121-07:00Guinness' Curse? 'World's Oldest Person' Keeps Dying

WASHINGTON -- In the wake of the recent death of Kama Chinen, a Japanese woman who was considered to be the world's oldest living person, advocacy groups such as Alliance for Generational Equity (AGE) have called for an investigation into the string of unexplained deaths of old-age record holders.

Stella Samuelson, a spokesperson AGE, is concerned that these deaths are not mere coincidences, noting that no other record holders have fallen victim to this disturbing trend.

"You don't see the men with the longest beard have such a high mortality rate," Samuelson said. "Every single member of the 'longest bikini parade' has had a clean bill of health since taking that record last year. It just isn't fair."

AGE noted that these people are not only celebrated as the oldest people in their own country, but as in the case of Mrs. Chinen, they are the longest living people on the planet.

Samuelson says that the world's really-really-old people are frightened now that they see that even their most exalted and celebrated members are dropping like flies.

"They are treasures within their community and they should be protected," Samuelson said.

AGE asks that law enforcement look into who or what might be responsible for the taking of these supercentenarian's lives, citing that Ms Chen only held the title as world's oldest living person for a mere eight months before she mysteriously passed away.

"Before Mrs Chinen, was Gertruid Baines of California," Samuelson said, ". . .and she only had the title for nine months. And before her? Mariade Jesus of Portugal who died tragically in January 2009, only holding the title for three months."

And the list goes on. Records show that no one holding the position of "Oldest Person Alive" has lived to enjoy all the benefits that come with the title for more than 15 months before they inexplicably die. Some have not lasted longer than a month, as was the case of Emma Tillman who died in January of 2007 at the age of 114, just four days after taking the title from Emiliano Mercado del Toro of Puerto Rico.

"That shocked so many of us in the extra-elder community," Samuelson said. "She didn't even get her birthday party covered by the local news or receive her obligatory phone call from Willard Scott."

The search is now on for the current oldest person living on Earth but it should come as no surprise that no one is coming forward to claim the position. Samuelson believes something nefarious is going on and hopes the international community will get to the bottom of it.

"I don't blame them for staying in hiding," Samuelson explained. "Claiming this title is like signing your own death warrant."Jason Ghttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268077532200781476.post-42845023267931086882010-01-08T08:51:00.000-08:002010-01-08T08:51:15.401-08:00Rudy Giuliani Changes Last Name to Neuve Once--
New York, NY-- The former New York Mayor and 2008 presidential candidate legally changed his name to Rudolph William Neuveonce in New York City Civil Court this week. As early as the 2004 Republican National Convention, Giuliani adopted the nickname "Neuve Once" --the Spanish translation of 9-11 -- asking that friends, business associates, the news media, bloggers, foreign heads of state, political pundits, and his estranged family to refer to him by that name only.

"I thought it was fun and better reflected who I was as a person," he recently told Fox News' Chris Wallace, showing off his 9-11 tattoo etched across his back.

Rudy Neuveonce had dropped hints for years about his interest in the new moniker by constantly referring to himself in the third person as 9-11 during television appearances and speeches to supporters.

LOUISVILLE, KY-- Attempting to accommodate a request from her sister to re-send the details about their aunt's funeral next Saturday, Missy Gordon tried in vain to hunt down the correct email in her "Sent" mailbox. Having nothing to differentiate the messages, her search ended with dissapointment. "There's just so many emails I sent to her in the last week or so, I can't seem to find it. Oh, here it is...nope that's the one about me losing my job." the 28-year old Gordon added, "Darn it, she really needed those directions".

 Additional searches conducted through the "What's up?!" and "Hey Girly!" messages, the only other subject lines listed in her archives, also turned up nothing.

 ALEXANDRIA, VA-- Citing irregularities in pictures posted on NASA's official website on the "Who We Are" page, Northern Virginia native Phillip Johnson is calling the event a hoax. "It never happened" he says. A retired high school math teacher and Civil War reenactor, Johnson has been following the space agency for years.

The concern is over pictures taken (allegedly, according to Johnson) at NASA's annual employee picnic where the Exploration Systems division battled the Space Operations division for the Mission Directorate softball championship. "We can't have our government lie to us about what NASA is up to, or what they  "claim" to be doing....ain't been softball, I'll tell you that. These pictures have been doctored."

Scanning the photos strewn across his kitchen table, Johnson then pulls a few toward him and begins to explain the evidence. "Look at the length of these shadows on the ground, It's the middle of the summer, when the sun is at it's highest...impossible." Johnson continues with excitement in his voice. "You see this lady right here?" pointing to Communications Planning Director Rachel Sampson who (allegedly) is handing out drinks to players, "Her hair is perfect and it's July...she ain't even sweating."

Johnson then sets his sites on another photo, but this time of Deputy Director of the Advanced Capabilities Division, Roger Flay, fielding a pop fly. "There aint no way this is real. Look at his extension, his vertical leap. You mean to tell me this 200lb man in his 60s has that type of agility? If you look closely you can see the wires."

A NASA spokesperson responded by saying that they hold this picnic and softball game every year and that any claims of a cover-up are not to be taken seriously. Johnson, however wrapped up the interview with this observation. "Sound Stage, definitely a sound stage. You got your lighting, industrial fans for the wind, and rigging, lots of rigging."

Seems that solar cells aren't just for baking potatoes any longer. For years there has been an ever increasing promise of capturing energy from the sun in a manner that would rival other power generation methods.

 Solar cell breaks efficiency record

From the article

Boeing-Spectrolab has developed a solar cell that can convert almost 41 percent of the sunlight that strikes it into electricity, the latest step in trying to drop the cost of solar power.

It was big news when 20% efficiency in Solar Cells was announced.

Traditional Power Generation turbines are about 50% efficient.

Coal-fueled electrical generating plants top out at about 46%.

Gasoline automobile engines run @ 25% efficiency.

More from the article

Currently, the best commercial silicon solar cells can convert 22 percent of the sunlight that hits them into electricity, and physics dictates that maximum efficiency for these cells will come at around 26 percent.

Makes me wonder if I can go off the grid anytime soon.

  WASHINGTON-- The 25-year long dispute between fans of Coors Brewing Company and Anheuser Busch ended in stalemate today when President Barack Obama failed to reach an accord between the two beer drinking camps. The talks began to falter almost immediately when the President welcomed the two foes to his White House South Lawn picnic table and offered them to sit down for a beer.

The meeting, now known as the Beer Beer-Summit, started off with a tense confrontation when participant Joe Campbell, a Coors Light drinker, was offered a cold one. Camplbell stated that , while he obviously had his preference, anything would be better than the piss-water his cross-table adversary regularly drank.

Rodney McClain, a Bud Light fan, and Anheuser Busch distributor, angrily stormed out of the talks, complaining, "We cannot come to terms with this type of rhetoric...besides, I wouldn't give that flat drain water to my worst dog!"

President Obama regretted the choice of location and theme of the meeting, remarking that instead they should have just shot baskets all afternoon and talked about hot babes and cars.

PALO ALTO, CA-- Citing significant differences over how the hit CBS television series should be honored, show follower Marty Ludor left with 115,000 other Facebook members to start the Reformed CSI Miami Fan Page. The exodus of over 20% of the almost half a million fans struck a significant blow to the long established popular social networking fan group.

Ludor claimed that the schism was a result of members being pressured to buy show T-shirts and coffee mugs. It was also common for those critical of show star David Caruso to be permanently banned from the group.

"Nobody blasphemes Horatio Caine" proclaimed group administrator Leo Medici. "Good riddance to Marty. This jerk filled our wall with, like, 95 posts on everything we were doing wrong. This is a fan site, not your own moral sounding board,....heretic."

At the time of this article's release, the newly formed fan group had already split into 30 separate and embattled sects.Jason Ghttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

It feels like it's about mid October right now. Chilly, rainy, overcast, generally icky weather. It all started Thursday night with a crazy window pane-rattling storm that brought constant lightning and cracks of thunder that felt like they were originating right outside my building. I'm normally a huge thunderstorm fan unless they're keeping me up at night. And this one was. But, it helped dispel the 100+ degree heat that was making me wilt.
If it has to be disgusting outside on any given weekend, I'm glad it happens to be one I'm stuck in the office so at least I'm not missing gorgeous weather. Yesterday I worked so late I had to cancel happy hour with a friend of mine (the horror, I know), today I had to miss a friend's birthday celebration, and oh yes, I have this little final exam coming up on Monday.
About that... I had every intention of going home from work last night and studying (contain your envy, folks). I even stopped at the nearby 7-11 to get a box of Kraft mac & cheese to facilitate minimal dinner prep time/maximum exam prep time. I feel like the 7-11 guy was totally judging my sad purchase, but maybe he was just pitying my tired face. I have no doubts that it was obvious how drained I was, by the way, because one coworker said to me "you look really stressed" and the other said "wow, you look exhausted" all within an hour yesterday. Thanks boys. But I was so, so sleepy that I barely made it through a half-dozen flashcards before I called it a night.
|how awesome of a Friday night does this appear to be?
Even though I willingly transferred to a part of my agency that has a super crazy workload every third month, I always forget how much it drains me! I'm really, really looking forward to next Thursday, at which point I will conclude twelve straight days in the office, and take a few much-needed vacation days. Until then, I'll be hugging a mug of coffee, wishing my sis and I still owned these awesome 90s sweaters for this freaky weather, and daydreaming about some family time.

"This post is a part of#UseYourAnd activity at BlogAdda in association with Gillette Venus".
"Either stay in your limits like any wife stay like or leave the damn house!"- Whenever she tried to say something,my father would shut her off.
"Either live like the way I want you to live,or leave the house!"-My mother would hear from him,whenever she would try to cross my dad's already assigned limits for her.
'Why this? Why cannot I make a choice? Why do I always need to choose between the two given options. Am I no one to myself?'-My mom would spend her nights,thinking.
She was not tied to do any thing she wanted,it was like she didn't has the idea of embracing her "AND".
She always used to try to choose between choices,that too the choices others would put infront of her. She was not allowed to talkback I suppose,that was the reason why she faced so much humiliation.
But with changing time,mom started sensing the importance of her 'AND'. She raised her voice,as she thought her husband would hear her and let her do whatever she wanted to do. But no! Time changed,she changed,but what didnot change was my dad's mentality. He shut her down again.
Time passed a bit more,and one day came a lady,who was so close to our family. She asked mom,if she would like to join the school,she was working in. My mom was ready but again,for my family,rituals and traditions were important. Mom's marriage was quite fresh that time,and her going out the house that too for working,was not correct according to their so called tradition.
My mom remained quiet that time too,for she didnot know the real face of them. Some more years later,after I was born and maybe like studying in class eighth,My granny died because of something complicated. Mom was broken,yet she smiled,maybe for me and my brother (yes he had taken birth too).
Time never stopped passing and life slowly came on the track-well this's what she thought. I'd grown up by that time and was in class tenth when the whole scenerio started and continued.
Dad was acting strange those days,no sweet talks no laughs,instead his eyes used to stare my mom like she was some criminal. After a whole week of staring thing,my dad decided to do something. Something I couldn't believe he would do to anyone.
There was this boy and his family who were living in the vacant rooms,present upstairs,as tenants. And that was where all this got started. My dad had started doubting my mom,over that boy;as if her and that boy were involved in a secret affair.
Now,the schedule had changed,so was the dad. Mom used to hear the tantrums,the beatings,but all of all she was surviving and that was enough for her. Maybe or maybe not. Afterall she was a human too like us,after like the torture of two-three months,she decided to not give up now. In our family,'daughter-in-laws' were not supposed to do any work or to step outside their respective house. My mother had faced everything till the time,she decided to step out of her limits. She started applying for the job in the every school of the city,be it the big ones or say the small ones. But it didnot affect her determination.
From being an idealistic wife,she now also wanted to be a perfect teacher. She had almost erased all the 'or' of her life and was already working to accept the things all together. A month passed and there was still no response from the schools,she had applied for. Maybe,because she was not that educated or maybe she was not the one. Oh well,all her doubts got cleared when one fine day she was called from one nearby school to join. Though they agreed to take her in,but the salary was only 600 rupees. That was enough anyway for her,she'd started working because she wanted to forget everyday's chaos not for the money.
Everything had become quite easy for her now,she would get ready everyday and would go to her school,after doing all the chores,she used to do before joining it. Days were passing so fast and we were growing too. (I and my brother). Mom wanted to make us capable enough to earn something for ourselves in future,unlike our father. For that,she needed to admit us in some CBSE school,but she knew she would need more money for that. She asked dad and to her luck he agreed too,that time we're financially stable so studying in a good school was not an issue. Again there were my relatives to stand as an obstacle in the path. They tried to distract my mom,but my mom was one stubborn lady and had decided to take this decision,without any compromise.
In the end she succedeed,my grand paa used to say-"You are here to change my son,just change him".
We had become mature enough to understand our mom's problem,but we could do nothing about that instead of studying. My brother was still innocent to understand anything,but he was good in studies. So he was not a problem at all.
Mom was worried about me and her worry was breaking her inside or maybe she was transforming into more strong woman. And I was right,she was now more ferocious,straight-forward and talkative woman. She would fight back all the talks dad would do to her,about her affair. She was now one strong woman,and for being one,
she need not to repeat the beatings she was having everyday from dad. Dad and his mentality couldnot be changed but her personality has changed from then to now. If we speak about her current job,then let me tell you she is now working as a teacher in one of the best schools here,with a good salary. My dad doesnot beat her now,but he does torture us mentally. I am now an emotional wreck and still trying hard to be like her;On the other side mom was not at all an emotional freak,maybe she has found the real meaning of her. Now she doesnot make choices,she just does whatever she feels like doing for her children.
Maybe,just maybe my mom's story is not that interesting to read for you,but she always used to say to me:
"Being a strong woman is not about behaving like a man. Instead, it is about embracing your femininity and showing it to the world, while making sure that you take control of the things that you're doing and get them done."
This is why motherhood is one of the best proofs of how strong women can be. Addition to this she is the woman who never cared for the labels people put her with,she created her all labels on her own,without the limits of any one. She is the lady who made me write this story to show all the women the power of faith,belief and most of all the power of "AND".
Rock the world with your pen.

Happy Holidays! Now Stop Eating and Get Back in the Gym!1
December 27, 2012 by j1scotty
Sorry for the ten day hiatus! It was the holidays, and well, we were busy eating. And as much as I wish I could say that we went full Paleo for this Christmas, that would be a complete lie. And I'm a terrible liar. And I would probably feel bad and then get anxiety and write a follow up post telling you how I lied. The scenario playing out in my head would not be good. So, to keep things honest: I ate like utter crap. I feel like utter crap. And I'm pretty sure, as of right now, I look like utter crap.
So what do I? Get moving and get back in the gym! Train hard keep motivated by knowing that time doesn't wait for anyone. I have competitions coming up, and I sure as hell do not want to be in my spandex in front of hundreds of people in a month looking the way I do now. So, let's get moving people!
Well, another Christmas has passed, which means we are all feeling the tightness around our waistlines and the very uncomfortable feeling of overeating. I, personally, have used this holiday season to overindulge in the endless amounts of sugary sweets available to me. I could not imagine not having a gym to get back to that can help melt away the self-loathing I feel for the extra five pounds my ass is currently carrying. So with that, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Now get back in the gym. Trust me, I know you need it as much as I do. Honesty, always the best policy.
Now that we have gotten that out of the way, and you have put down that cookie that you now feel guilty for even holding in your hand, let's get started with the essentials for getting back in the groove and recommitting to your normal life of eating right and working out hard. It's difficult for a lot of people to get re-motivated after the holidays and convince yourself to squeeze back into your gym clothes and drive out to get your butt kicked while feeling gross and overweight. Here's how you counteract these feelings:
- Everyone is in your same situation right now. Guarantee you everyone else overate during the holidays, and ate just as many cookies as you did, if not more. So think of it as a time where you are all recommitting together.
- You are your own worst critic. Your five-pound weight gain has probably turned into a 20-pound weight gain in your head. Yes, you have eaten more than usual. No, you do not look like a beached whale. No one is going to look at you and judge you by the five pounds that may or may not be noticeable to everyone else.
- If you don't go, you'll feel worse about yourself. Pretty self explanatory. If you don't do something about it now, think about how awful you'll feel two weeks down the road. Get off your butt and stop being lazy. In the end, it will be much easier to work it off sooner rather than later.
- Think about the cookies you can eat and not feel guilty about once you do start back in the gym?? Personally, I am a cookie fiend. If there was a pool of cookies, I would be the first one swimming in it. And probably the mean fat kid that wouldn't let anyone else join in the fun. Mine, all mine. One of the perks of working out is that you can have your cheat days every now and then and not feel guilty about it. So the sooner you get back in the gym, the sooner you can eat more cookies and feel fabulous all at the same time. I know, I am so full of wonderful knowledge.
- This might be the most important piece of advice of all: You are the only one who can hold yourself accountable for the decisions you make. You have to decide to get up and start moving and become the best you can. If you want to stay lazy and use "too busy" or "not ready yet" as excuses to not get back in the gym and start getting back in shape, then you, and you alone, are accountable for the consequences to those decisions. So later on, when you are completely out of shape and truly 20 pounds overweight, don't expect pity and understanding from those around you. You are accountable. Be motivated. Working out is a self discipline and it should be a part of life. Don't cut yourself short. Laziness is the most unattractive quality and so are excuses.
This edition of Butts N Guts has been brought to you by the letter E. E for eat right! E for enjoy every minute with your friends and family over the holidays. E for exercise and work off all that fat you accumulated over the past couple weeks. I bet you never thought you could win the "gain as much weight as possible in the shortest time period" contest. I think I won that by the way. Sorry, the gold goes to me. My prize? Bigger jeans. Yay… E for effort. If you don't put forth your best effort, you will never achieve the results you're looking for. Remember, you are your own worst enemy. If you don't put forth 100%, you will never truly know what you are capable of and how much you are able to push yourself to exceed your greatest successes.
So with that, Happy Holidays! Enjoy the last days of 2012. And YAY! We survived the end of the world. I know you guys were scared. But don't worry, we can keep CrossFitting on. Be thinking of your New Years resolutions. I know Jen and I have been and we can't wait to share our 2013 resolutions with you all.

Megan says:
Cookie monsters! I have managed to eat paleo for breakfast and lunch since being at my parents house. The homemade chex mix, cookies, and other endless desserts I thought were appropriate at 10am were not paleo… Woops! Worked out twice today though and it felt great to get moving!!
