Causes of dietary fanaticism
31 October 2002
Published in The Age
Results from a radical new diet can, at first, be breath-taking. Juice fasters, fruitarians, vegetarians, vegans and others frequently experience an initial, pronounced change for the better. More energy, better mood and weight-loss are common.
Indeed the results are often so good that dieters can't envision abandoning the diet which "saved" them. Self-imposed regulations are tightened. Dedication and certainty deepen. Dietary deviations are reduced - eventually toward vanishing point.
Given a few months, where can all of this end up?
"Many of the most unbalanced people I have ever met are those who have devoted themselves to healthy eating," writes Dr Steven Bratman, an author and dietary medicine practitioner in Colorado, USA. "In fact, I believe some of them have actually contracted a novel eating disorder for which I have coined the name orthorexia nervosa. The term uses ortho means straight, correct. Orthorexia nervosa refers to a pathological fixation on eating proper food.
"Where the bulimic and anorexic focus on the quantity of food, the orthorexic fixates on its quality. All three give food an excessive place in the scheme of life. The transference of all of life's value into the act of eating makes orthorexia a true disorder."
One with more experience than most in combatting dietary extremism is Australian nutritionist Dr Rosemary Stanton. What did she think might be the syndrome's underlying psychology?
"There are those with obsessive personality traits," Stanton says, "and they turn these to food - rather than food being the primary causative factor. A lack of self-esteem seems to be behind many people's need to follow some strange diet fad. They are easily convinced by someone selling something. A lack of knowledge about health in general, and food in particular, makes them easy prey."
Like religious and political extremism, "orthorexic" dietary obsession often involves camouflaging psychological problems with an outward "purity". It's a problem mirrored in more mainstream weightloss diets too. A 1998 study by Professor Sue Popkess-Vawter at the University of Kansas, in the US, revealed that 90-95% of all such diets fail. This was because the diets addressed merely the physical aspect of over-eating - rather than the psychological and social dimensions, where the problem had its roots.
Where weightloss diets fail banally (most dieters simply remain overweight), "orthorexic" diets can fail spectacularly: as with the Australian fruitarians whose teeth fell out, the vegan toddler who developed rickets, and the American "instincto" (raw flesh eater) who nearly died from the parasites in the squirrels he hunted.
A person highly familiar with such disaster stories is US author Ward Nicholson, who has written extensively about dietary extremism. Nicholson is a former leader of the US "Natural Hygiene" movement, and an ex-vegan-raw foodist. He agrees that religious and dietary zealots have much in common:
"Everything you can get out of a theological religion, it seems you can get out of a dietary religion. Guilt, redemption, salvation, heroes and heroines to emulate, a supreme end-state perfection to strive for, being one of the 'chosen', a behavioural morality to judge oneself and others by, a worldview that explains evil - why people become sick and die - and how to conquer that evil. You can even be a guru and save your friends."
From Nicholson's observations, the most damaging diets over time are fruitarianism, strict macrobiotics and raw-food veganism. Initially, he believes, the mental narrowing caused by fanaticism is the biggest problem: but medical complications take over in time.
"Fortunately, most people quit these diets before they get in a bad way. In the beginning you have all these newbies who after six months are 'experts', and full of arrogance that puts both themselves and others on the road to trouble."
Until 1997 Nicholson co-ordinated America's M2M newsletter, where fruitarians, raw-fooders, vegans and others shared their experiences. A few thrived long-term on these diets, he says. But after two years "they often start suffering from one or more of the following symptoms: They may lack energy, or their stools will become chronically diarrhoea-like, they feel hungry all the time, they may not be able to maintain their weight without struggle, or they develop B12 deficiency, lose sex drive, fatigue easily, and/or develop insomnia or a hyper-reactive nervous system".
The illnesses are often rationalised away, Nicholson says - most commonly as "detoxification" brought on by the diet. The ubiquitous idea of "detox", he says, "is a way of reducing most dietary questions to a single criterion by which diets and symptoms can be judged".
Such rationalising can be dangerous, because it helps dieters not to look at the possibility of deficiency, and of metabolic imbalances: "hyperinsulinism, omega-6/omega-3 imbalances, mineral imbalances, and so forth".
"The worst medical effects I've seen," says Dr Steven Bratman, "end up being very similar to anorexia."
Once you're in that spiral, what's the way out?
"That's a hard question!" Dr Bratman says. "There's no easy way out. Increasing honest awareness of the situation is the first step. I use the analogy to workaholism. Once you begin to be aware that perhaps it's not a virtue to work ninety hours a week, you have a chance to change."
Ward Nicholson feels that "the majority of people eventually burn out from the exhaustive focus it takes to be an extremist, although it takes longer for some than others".
"In addition to psychological burnout, many people approaching the age of forty begin to find their body doesn't tolerate a strict or deficient regime as well anymore - so their well-being starts to suffer. It's at that point reality often begins
to set in."
Since defecting from it, Nicholson has taken on America's longest-established "reformist" health regime, Natural Hygiene - a diet of mostly raw-food vegetarianism. NH, he believes, often flies in the face of evolutionary good sense. (NH has influenced the Australian naturopathic approach to diet.)
What brought an end to his faith?
"After less than a year on a raw-food diet, I could see my health was going downhill. I then moderated to conventional veganism, which was better, but after a year or two of that, and continued stagnation, I abandoned it as well."
"One of the cardinal signs of extremism is that it distorts your relationships with the people in your life. You become more isolated, smug or argumentative, concerned with being right, milking your feelings of superiority. Perfectionism is a great burden. It means if you slip up, you can't let other people know. Or if you do let them know, you feel you have screwed up or failed somehow.
"I'm glad those days are behind me. Being an extremist is being 'stuck'. It feels a lot better to keep moving, growing, learning, going beyond where you were before. Having plenty of questions to ask that are still unanswered touches you into a dimension that is rewarding in a different way from certainty. Certainty gets boring, stale and claustrophobic."
Today, Nicholson's advice to those slipping into dietary fanaticism is simple: "Put results before theory."

Software Quality 2: What?
Once again there was a long, long search on the Internet. Not a lot is written about why software quality is important, maybe even less is written about what quality looks like. The most interesting piece I could find is a study by Kitchenham and Pfleeger titled "SOFTWARE QUALITY: THE ELUSIVE TARGET" In this study, Kitchenham and Pfleeger state that the "what" of software quality consists of five different views:
- The Transcendental view
"We don't know how to define quality but we'll know it when we see it."
- The User view
Is the software fit for the purpose of the user?
- The Manufacturing view
Does the software confirm to it's specifications?
- The Product view
Quality is an inherent characteristic of the product
- The Value-based view
How much is the customer willing to pay for it?
If we look at this list, the usual definition of software quality as "bug-free" seems too limited. High-quality software isn't just free of defects, it's also that which the user needs and expects.
Of course, the level of these definitions isn't detailed enough to actually implement but if any implementation is to hold any value, it should at least look at the last four of those items (the first one is not quantifiable. The Development Team should keep it in mind but you can't define activities that will support this view).
As we stated that every definition of "Why" should be supported by at least one definition of "What", we can state:
- Predictability is supported by The Manufacturing View and The Product View.
If the product conforms to it's inherent characteristics and it's specifications then it will be predictable.
- Customer Satisfaction is supported by The User View, The Product View and The Value-based view.
If the product does what the user needs and the product conforms to it's inherent characteristics, the user will likely be willing to pay for it and be satisfied.
- Morale/Mastery is supported by The Manufacturing View and The Product View.
Producing something that is productively correct will drive the Mastery driver of Morale.
- Morale/Purpose is supported by The User View.
Producing something that a user needs will drive the Purpose driver of Morale.
- The Bottom Line is supported by The Value-based view.
Well, that's an easy one.... If the user is willing to pay for it, this supports the bottom line.
This mapping proves that What we're doing is correct. But these statements aren't necessarily implementable. In my next blog post I will explore How we can implement these principles in our software/product development process.

daydreamin' baby
¡Buenas noches amigos! (I wish you all could see just how much use I'm getting out of Google Translate.) I hope everyone had a great Monday! I'm taking some time to rest up this week before I start my new job next Monday!! Woo hoo!
Even though I've been relaxing all summer (thank you Jesus!), I really feel like I'm coming alive. Like my eyes have finally been opened. And I'm glad about it. I mean, it's been nice to not have to think about things for a while, but to be honest, when I wasn't thinking, I felt like I had lost touch with who I really want to be. I guess you could say, I stopped dreaming. And you should never stop dreaming. EVER.
I've mentioned on here before how big of a daydreamer I am. I've cut back some because I wasn't really living in and soaking up the present moment. But I'm always daydreaming and imaging what life will be like for me in the next two, three, four or five years. And it's not just on a personal level. I mean, I daydream about meeting my future husband on a beach in South America or on the streets of London all the time. And how much fun our wedding reception will be. And even the fun and funky names we'll give our kids. I even daydream what I would do if I won the lottery (mom and I had a full convo on what I would do if I won $10 million). But I also daydream about my future career. Although I know I probably won't be a member of a world famous female pop group, I still keep it floating in the back of my mind. (And don't act like you never wanted to be a member of The Spice Girls before!) But today, my "dream career" (if you can even call it that, because I think all dreams are achievable) just came to me!
A few days ago, I was really beating myself up about not becoming a surgeon. I felt like I failed my parents. I mean, they spent all this money on school and I decided to get a Bachelor of Commerce & Administration in Marketing. The least I could've done was get a degree in something like Accounting or Education. Something that would allow me to get a "real" job. Don't get me wrong here. Marketing has a very broad career field. You can go from sales, to consumer behavior, to market research, to sports marketing, to advertising/public relations and so on. It's a broad field and I knew that when I decided to major in it. I also thought I would be working in sports marketing right now too, but that's not happening. And honestly, I'm actually pretty happy about that. But, I also didn't think I'd be working an associate job either with my marketing degree. So you can see why I was feeling down.
But I had to take a moment and realize a few things:
1) I'm a fresh college graduate. Seriously! I've only been out of the classroom for nearly 3 months.
2) I was blessed to be able to attend and finish college. I know quite a few people who were not able to do either of those.
3) I may not be working my dream job right now, but damn it (excuse my language) I'm not working a job that I dread either!
So, after assuring myself of the above, I just stopped thinking about work. And have you noticed, once you stop thinking about something, it just comes to you naturally? It's like when you're looking for the back to your earring on a carpeted floor. At first, you can't find it, but eventually you end up stepping on it! That's how it was for me! Well, I didn't step on anything, but a few images crossed my path. Since I'm always daydreaming about traveling and I'm really taking a liking to living a positive, healthy and spiritual life, I've finally figured out that I will be pursuing a career as a Lifestyle & Travel blogger/writer in the near future!!! They always say "you'll never be out of a job if you're doing what you love". Starting today, I plan on mapping out my future travel destinations and finding ways to live a healthy, happy and prosperous life while hopefully helping others do the same. Look out world, here I come!! So be on the look out for my blog to gradually evolve over the next year or so! :)
a weekend in the city (recap)
Oh my goodness! Hello, hello, hello!!! I recently took a little break from blogging but I'm glad to be back. And I hope you all are happy to have me back.
Last weekend I was finally able to take a little trip from home and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even if it was only about an hour away from home. It's mapped as Birmingham, Alabama, but it's been given the name "The Magic City". I was able to hit some of the landmarks of this large city and photographed most of it. Let's recap...

Good Morning dearies! I hope everyone enjoyed their long, festive weekend!
I was watching The TODAY Show yesterday when this segment about college graduates living at home and relying on their parents for financial assistance. First and foremost, it's so nice to know that there are other individuals that are in the same boat as me! Kind of in limbo right now, scouring for work and eager to get out into the real world. But what really surprised me, was how different I am than others when it comes to finances. Because of yesterday's segment, I've created a simple and easy to use monthly budget plan and I'm ready to share it with all you.
*Be sure to watch the video above first!*
what the heck happened to me?!
OMG I am soooooo happy to be back! I've been recuperating for the past three days and my, my my...have I got a lot to tell you all.
But first, I want to give you all a new playlist! It's 4th of July weekend and you'll need some good music to last you the next three days! There's a lot of good, summertime music on here!

Join us on Twitter at #digitalHx. Beyond 140: 10,000 Character Limit on Twitter Expected to Launch in Q1 According to sources inside Twitter, the company is building a new feature that will allow tweets longer than the platform's hallmark 140 characters. While there is no official launch date, it is expected before the end of Q1 and could allow tweets up to 10,000 characters long (the current limit for Twitter's Direct Message feature). The details of the new feature are reportedly still in flux including the exact number of characters, whether there will be a "read more"-type button to expand to read beyond the initial 140 characters, and any restrictions on number of users that can be mentioned in a single tweet. This move is one of several reported changes CEO Jack Dorsey is considering to jumpstart user growth. Read full story at Recode "The 140-character limit is part of what makes Twitter so compelling to those who use it regularly.

Join us on Twitter at #digitalHx. The Rise of Contextual Commerce and Shoppable Social When mobile marketers first started talking up big data, the most pressing question was, "what are companies going to do with this information?" Years later, we finally have the answer: contextual commerce. Because your smartphone (and the myriad of apps loaded onto it) stores information about your interests and purchasing behaviors, it can suggest places to eat (based on your location and past OpenTable check-ins), when to call an Uber (after you've used your device to pay for your meal) and where/when to buy those shoes you've had in your cart for three days (based on your location and web browsing behavior). Shoppable social will amplify this effect by making it even easier to purchase items directly from social media. Rather than going to Instagram, seeing a product you want to buy and then going to the product website to buy it, you will be able to buy items directly from Instagram. Read full story at TechCrunch "Shoppable social is a huge win for mobile marketers, as they are finally able to use all of the data they've been collecting to reach consumers atContinue Reading

Franklin County Barn Quilt Trail
The Franklin County Barn Quilt Trail – a work in progress
By Water
Unlike most trail projects which are situated along automobile driving routes, the Franklin County Barn Quilt Trail is unique in that it includes a water component – whereas property owners along Smith Mountain Lake are encouraged to place quilt trail structures on docks and dock houses. Once completed, this aspect of the trail will only be accessible by water.
Historic Preservation
Another unique feature to the Franklin County Barn Quilt Trail is the inclusion of a historic preservation component. Historically, tobacco has been an important agricultural crop in Franklin County. Based on a county history by John and Emily Salmon, by around 1900, over 5 million pounds were grown. In 1930, it was revealed the county had harvested some 1,733,000 pounds of flue-cured and 780,000 pounds of fire-cured tobacco. In 1945, the county was home to 1,401 tobacco farms, which dropped to 190 in 1987.
A key feature to Franklin County's tobacco heritage was the tobacco barn. Sadly, vestiges of this once ubiquitous landscape element are rapidly disappearing. A subcommittee of the barn quilt trail group will incorporate the placement of barn quilts on dilapidated and fallen tobacco barns to help draw attention to the need for a historic preservation initiative to help protect and preserve this resource.
Join the Barn Quilt Trail
The Franklin County Barn Quilt Trail is accepting applications for participants in the trail project. Any property owner with access to public roads or a dock/dock house along Smith Mountain Lake is encouraged to join the trail. Trail planners are hopeful that all areas of the county are represented with barn quilt placements.
Download an application and expand the barn quilt experience by showcasing your farm, home, dock or business as part of the trail project.

For more information, contact Carol Haynes at (540) 483-5161 or email email@example.com.
What is a Barn Quilt?
Unlike a cloth quilt which commonly uses many squares, the barn quilt is a single square art form. A patterned design is placed on a wooden or metal platform that is secured to the exterior side of a barn or other structure. While they get their namesake from placement on barns, the barn quilt can be placed on any type of building or structure.
History of Barn Quilts
As noted by Marilyn Carrigan of the Truman Museum in Minnesota, "the history of the barn quilt begins about 300 years ago with the arrival of immigrants from the Rhine region of Germany." Many of these groups settled in Pennsylvania and included Amish, Mennonites, Lutherans and related Reform organizations.
Carrigan points out that early barns were not painted due to cost. After the 1830s, the Pennsylvania Dutch began painting barns, often using octagonal and hexagonal star-like patterns. The painting of barn decorations peaked at the start of the 20th century. The work was often performed by skilled artisans. "These artists combined many folk designs, including geometric patterns from quilt squares. Many of the symbols used had special meaning such as: circle – eternity or infinity; four-pointed star – bright day; triple star – success, wealth or happiness; and star – good luck. Quilt squares have special names and meanings also."
A revival of barn quilts took hold in 2001 when the first official barn quilt trail was launched in Adams County, Ohio. It has been termed a "Clothesline of Quilts." Barn quilt trails are now present in over half of the states in the United States.
History of the Franklin County Barn Quilt Trail
The Franklin County Barn Quilt Trail was launched in 2013 by Libby Bondurant and Pat Jones. After observing local community interest in barn quilts, they began researching barn quilts in other states and regions. They researched out to the Franklin County Office of Tourism to launch a county program. [Link to news article…]
In 2015, the Franklin County Office of Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Franklin County Office of Tourism joined together to assist in the development of establishing a barn quilt trail for Franklin County. [Link to news article…]
In 2017, the trail project was strengthened by the hosting of three workshops to teach participants the art of barn quilt trail design and production with funding from the Franklin County Division of Tourism & Film's microgrant program. [Link to news article…]

Proposed DUI Bill Sobers ACLU
Proposed DUI Bill Sobers ACLU
Laws are getting tougher against people convicted of driving under the influence, but a new law would hit people at the store rather than in their car.
This proposed Carrie Beasley bill would prevent those convicted of drunken driving from buying alcohol for five years.
This is done by placing a restriction on a person's driver's license or identification card.
ACLU Director Peter Simonson said by using the driver's license as a means to crack down, it becomes public information, violating your privacy rights.
Legislators are expected to vote on the bill at their next session.

Group Counseling
Marriage/Couples Counseling focuses on developing a healthy relationship between two committed, intimate companions. After being together for a period of time, couples can find themselves questioning a relationship they have worked hard to keep together. The difficulties between two people often lead to hurt, strife, discontentment, and anger. However, marriage/couples counseling empowers a couple with the tools necessary for establishing or re-establishing a desired relationship. Communication styles are examined as well as expectations. Most conflict in relationships has an underlying source of unspoken, unrealistic, or unmet expectations. Marriage/Couples counseling helps to eliminate these as it creates new bonds of affection and respect for each other.
At Abounding Aspirations we offer a number of marriage counselor of Texas services. We provide marriage counseling and help married couple to build a steady bondage, and assist in the settlement of the differences. Our marriage counseling service is a type of psychotherapy which helps married couples overcome marital problems. Most people seek the help of marriage counselors when misunderstanding, disturbance, or some other tragedy strikes their family. The contributing factor behind most issues is lack of communication. That's why at Abounding Aspirations our marriage counselor emphasis is to increase communication and social appropriateness, which helps couples to resolve their differences quickly.

Salesforce CRM REST API – The most basic recipe
Salesforce provides various methods to read, add, delete or update data. The user interface is only one! If you need to connect to Salesforce from external systems to retrieve or modify records in small volumes, the Salesforce REST API web service is by far the easiest to use.
There are many guides on the internet explaining concepts such as the REST protocol, OAuth2, hand-shaking, callbacks, session management, etc, however if your requirements are simple, wading through the text can be somewhat dull. Salesforce's own documentation is certainly the most comprehensive. Personally, I find it good reading material when I need a sleep aid. If you're looking for something a bit more straight-forward and to the point, however, read on…
Really, for basic API use, you need to do two things:
- Get a new access token
- Use this access token in each subsequent API call-out until it expires, in which case see point 1
1x user account on the Salesforce org (sandbox, prod or developer will suffice) including:
* Username
* Password
* Security Token [what's this?]
1x Security Profile applied to this user that allows create/read/update/delete permissions on the objects you wish to modify
NB: Every API resource request we make will be with this user, so all the operations on the data you modify through your API calls will be logged against this user in audit logs.
Instructions – Setup
- Create a Connected App in your target org
- To create a connected app, click "Setup" near your name in the top right corner then
- In the left-hand navigation bar type "apps" and select the item as shown below:
- Scroll to the bottom of the page to the "Connected Apps" section and click "New"
- Provide a new name for the Connected App, and a bogus callback URL (any URL will do as we won't be using it) and save.
- Once this is done, a "Client Secret" and "Client Id" will be generated. The client secret is a series of numbers, whereas the client id is a long series of seemingly random UTF-8 characters. You will need to save these details somewhere for now
- Once you have created your Connected App, you can start to test connecting to SF via API. To do this, you will need to develop an application using any internet technology/platform capable of connecting to the internet and posting/retrieving data using the HTTPS protocol (e.g. Java, PHP, Apex, etc). However to simplify testing, you may want to use either the "curl" command-line in Unix/Linux (or via Cygwin on Windows) or even simpler, use a REST-based API testing client such as the Google Chrome plugin "Advanced REST client" available for free on the Google Chrome Web Store here. The rest of this recipe will use the Advanced REST Client chrome app for instructions.
Instructions – Getting an Access Token
- Let's start by getting what is called an OAuth2 access token from your Salesforce sandbox. To do this, in the Google Chrome Advanced REST Client "URL" input box, type:
(for prod, just replace "test" in the URL with "login")
- Select POST as the method and in the "Raw Headers" section type:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
- In the "Data Form" section, enter your client_id, client_secret, username, password* and a final additional parameter called "grant_type" = "password"
*PS: The password should be your normal salesforce password + your users security token. E.g. if your password is "myPassword!" and your security token is "61WhVHCHUkBIBGUm4ayC3588" then enter "myPassword!61WhVHCHUkBIBGUm4ayC3588"
- Your screen should now look something like this:
- Once this detail is provided, hit SEND
- In the HTTP response body, you will now have an "access_token" as well as an "instance_url". You will be using the "instance_url" in all subsequent requests to create/read/update/delete data, and in every request, you will need to provide the access_token in the header. Generally, the access_token will be valid for 2 hours, but this depends on your salesforce settings. The timeout duration can be modified.
Instructions – Using the Access Token to Securely Modify Your Data
- Now that you have your instance_url and access_token, we can create some data! Let's try create a Lead via API. In the "URL" input box within your Google Chrome Advanced REST Client, enter:
where instance_url = the instance_url you got back from the Access Token request in the previous step. This should be something like "https://cs86.salesforce.com" or "http://yourcustomdomain.cs82.salesforce.com" etc.
- In the Raw Headers section, enter the following:
Content-Type: application/json Accept-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN
ACCESS_TOKEN = the access token you got back in the previous step, so it should look something like this:
Content-Type: application/json Accept-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer 3j9ApkCiRpiZNuEfUy7MT7jG1E2wjpjgCeIqDrssp6735vIlOGZn91yRLoZEer
- In the "Raw Payload" section enter a JSON payload structure of Lead information such as this:
{ "FirstName": "Test", "LastName": "Lead", "Email": "firstname.lastname@example.com", "Phone": "0123456789", "Company" : "Test Company", "LeadSource": "Web", "Country" : "United Kingdom" }
JSON is a data format standard used by many REST API services. You can read up more on JSON data formats here.
- Your screen should now look something like this:
- When you are ready, hit SEND. You will now see the result of your request in the Response Body. To test that your lead has successfully been created, log into your target Salesforce org, navigate to the Leads object, and select "Today's Leads" from the List Views. If everything has worked, your Lead should be at the top of the list!
Hopefully by following the example, you've started to piece together the fundamentals of OAuth2 authentication and how Salesforce implements it's standard out-of-the-box Web Services. Each object has it's own specific set of URI resources. To get the full list, just do a GET request on https://your_salesforce_instance/services/data/v39.0/ where v39.0 is the version of the API you want to interrogate. Otherwise, continue to explore the incredibly rich but dull catalogue of documentation on the Salesforce support and help websites.
Happy API-ing!

The True Gentleman
The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.
– John Walter Wayland

|Not the greatest picture.
But Devin wanted absolutely nothing to do with laying down.
|Every time I tried to lay him down, he rolled over then sat up instantly.
He just wanted to play and explore.
Weight: 21.6 pounds
Height: 29.25 inches
Clothing Size: either 3-6 or 6-9 depending on the brand.
Diaper Size: 3s
Milestones: stands by himself for a few seconds and takes ~4 steps by himself before he falls, loves playing peek-a-boo, is working on stacking blocks by himself as well as putting nesting cups inside each other, is learning how to take rings on and off, he can drink from his sippy cup but he has just started to try to hold it himself
Eating: generally he refuses baby food and will eat whatever we are eating. He still loves yogurt!! If I can't get him to eat anything else, he will eat yogurt, veggie straws, freeze dried yogurt, spaghettiO's and scrambled eggs. But really, he eats whatever I am. He nurses about 3-4 times a day. And can drink from a sippy cup if I hold it up for him.
Sleeping: goes to bed around 9 pm and sleeps until 7. He wants milk then. Sometimes he will go back to sleep after and other times not. Normally takes 2-3 shorter naps.
Communication: he associates and says "Momma" both with me and when he is thirsty, sometimes he says "Naddy" when Casey comes home, he understands the word "no!" when we say it, when I say "yogurt" he opens his mouth and then says "mmmmm". He really doesn't talk yet though. I just understand his jabbers and cries. He is a complete chatterbox and is constantly "talking."
Likes: walking while still holding onto something (but he only needs one hand for balance now) and is attempting to take steps completely by himself, playing with the Easter basket and putting things in and out of it, stacking up blocks by himself, trying to stand up in the bathtub and touch the faucet and handles, chasing Daddy around our "racetrack" at our apartment, sitting in my lap--ESP for scriptures, cuddling with his fleece blankie
Dislikes: baby food--esp the store bought kind, being told no--he truly is an obedient baby and he is sad when he gets in trouble, going to bed--even if he is tried!
Nicknames: Mr. Devin, yeahoo, Baby Bunny, spitball (he is still spitting up a ton!!)
Most Memorable Moment(s): his first Easter and playing with his Easter eggs and basket, he now has 7 teeth, he sat and calmly watched a few talks during General Conference and then played quietly during the rest of it
Hardest Part: Trying to balance time. It is hard to take care of him and play together and still have time to get everything else done. It is also hard with his lack of communication. I wish so many times that he could just tell me why he is crying or what he wants because a lot of the time, I have no clue
Lisa's Favorite Part: seeing him smile when I smile at him across the room or watching his proud "I did it" look/ smile when he accomplishes something
Casey's Favorite Part: Playing with Devin when he gets home from work. He loves chasing Devin around the race track and building him elaborate block towers to knock down.

Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush stated "we have a duty to act, particularly if it requires the special forces capabilities that only the United States has" in the cases of human rights abuses and genocide, although "it has to be measured and what's our security interests, what's in our interests, how do we protect our shores?" In an interview broadcast on Wednesday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "On the Record."
When asked about the US' responsibility in cases of human rights abuses and genocides such as Nigeria and Sudan [relevant exchange begins around 7:50], Jeb said, "I think in every case it has to be measured and what's our security interests, what's in our interests, how do we protect our shores? But we also have a moral obligation that is important. And it may not be the first priority which, I think, is security with our allies, and security of the homeland, but I think we have a duty to act, particularly if it requires the special forces capabilities that only the United States has. So, if it's Boko Haram in northern Nigeria, or other — another place where we're not putting people in harm's way in a rash fashion, but we're doing it in a serious, strategic way, why not? Why not save Christian girls that are enslaved and raped. Why not save people that are being burned to death in cages or bombed?"
He added, "the question is, do we have the capability to act in a way that can change the equation? … you have to assess what the risks are, determine what — the best you can, what the outcome can be by using the special capabilities that we have that only we have, and I don't think we should just be cautious to the point of inaction. Because I think there are circumstances where had we acted, we would have saved lives. And it's the same thing when we send the Navy. Is it appropriate to send the Navy after the tsunami in Asia? I would say yeah."
Jeb concluded, "I think that's the kind of investment we need to make. But there are places where our involvement wouldn't yield the kind of result that you and I would want to see."
Jeb also commented on US foreign aid, stating, "our foreign aid should reflect our values, should reflect our free market philosophy economically. We shouldn't give aid to countries…that deters their interest in reforming so that their people can rise up."
He added that trying to use foreign aid to win friends isn't the "proper use" of foreign aid," and "that it never works."
Jeb continued, "Better to provide support that would allow an entrepreneur to be able to rise up. You remember the revolution in Tunisia. It was started by a small businessman who was frustrated beyond belief that the crony capitalism of Tunisia did not allow him to have a business where he could grow, and he killed himself, and it created the spark for a revolution. we should be on the side of the people like that, rather than supporting regimes that suppress aspirations the of their people. We should have foreign aid that helps them understand what freedom is all about, about free market economics, and about the freedom, tolerance, and the freedom of our country. Just by providing support to despots to maintain their presence is not necessary. That's a waste of money."

Time to move? More like time to be overwhelmed! There are so many things to do to get ready, and that makes organization an absolute must. Without it, you're certainly going to miss something, and one of the best ways to do that is to build a moving notebook. Wondering what should be inside? Take a look:
What should be inside my Moving Notebook?
-A Task List: The first thing your moving notebook should have in it is your task list. This shouldn't be an ordinary to-do list, though. Be sure to include the dates by which each task must be completed. Include all of the most important events such as closing on the new home, closing on the old home, hiring the removal company, giving everyone your new address, enrolling kids in new schools, packing, and so on.
-Contracts and Agreements: You'll also want to include any contracts or agreements that you sign. This would include the contract for your new home, the removal company agreement, and any other contracts or agreements that are pertaining to your move. Likely, you will need to have easy access to these documents for various reasons. If they are stored away safely in your notebook, you will know exactly where to retrieve them from and they will not mistakenly get packed away in one of your boxes.
-Contacts: Something else that you will want to keep in your notebook is a list of any and all contacts that have anything to do with your move. This list will include people such as your realtor, your removal company, utility companies, and anyone else who you may need to contact multiple times during the course of your move.
-Moving Boxes Contents: Finally, your notebook should contain lists of what you have packed away in the boxes. As you pack your boxes, you should number each box. Then, fill out a piece of paper with the number of the box and what you have placed in the box. Place each box's corresponding paper in the notebook. Then, when you arrive at your new home, you can easily determine what order you need to unpack your boxes.
Your moving notebook, then, will be something that you want to keep on you at all times throughout the duration of the move. It's the one essential you should refer to again and again until you get settled in your new home!

Are You Looking Online for Someone Special?
Are You Waiting for a Knight on a White Horse?
Are you sitting at home and wondering what to do for the weekend?" Well get online and find that dating niche just for you. There are so many online where you can meet great people to date and find that special someone for a relationship.
All I ask of you is to be careful and use good common sense and research the site before you join. However, do not stay in your lonely apartment eating ice cream and watching romance movies---and you are asking yourself—"How does she know?"
Someone Special Might be Searching Too
Well, I have been there and done that---and now you need to blow the dream of a handsome Knight riding into your apartment looking like Hugh Jackman. And get online so you can get out there in the couples world.
If you have a girlfriend who wants to do this with you---and maybe a double date with you and the guy you selected---just ask the service if it is possible.
Remember---if you don't ask these questions you will never know. It is the squeaky wheel that gets the most oil. If you have never heard that saying research it---just Google it for your answer.
Savvy Women: Time to be Aware.
After writing this article I did some research about some woman and their encounters in online dating. So I wanted to share this information with anyone who uses these services.
First, for ones protection---every online service should do background checks before approving membership.
Ladies Be Aware of:
1. Men who want you to drive or fly any distance to meet them.
2. Men who ask for airfare so they can fly to you.
3. Men who are still legally married.
4. Men who are separated from their wife.
5. Men who have children and mainly want a free babysitter.
6. Men who are unemployed and have been for a while. Might be seeking a meal ticket. (It is not a sin to unemployed---so many good people are facing this today in this economy.)
7. Never be intimidated by a man who does fly or drives a distance to meet you--- then asks for money to return home.
8. Never give out financial information or loan your credit cards to anyone for that matter.
Online dating is to meet others and have fun---not be abused socially or financially. Ladies when someone online sends you an email---it does not mean this is your last choice. You should have enough love and respect for yourself to be highly selective.
Be aware do your due-diligence before obligating yourself---this is only common sense. There are good men out there but one has to weed out the bad seeds so the garden can grow--- as well as relationships.
Don't be afraid to ask any "Online Dating Service" if they do background check before you sign up. Remember this is your life and happiness we are talking about---so be smart online.
Niche Online Dating Sites are very Popular
People on the Planet Earth devotes most of their time on the Internet just doing their daily jobs. After work we all need some R&R with maybe a little TLC.
And if we are obedient we will take Grandmother's advice on where to meet that someone special. She thought of shopping in Grocery stores, attending different churches, going to weddings, and making appearances in all the communities social gatherings, and parties that unique person would be there. However, I am not saying it is not possible, but improbable.
So what is the common sense plan? Since most of one's workplace time is largely consumed online. This means we are comfortable online---so now we have the place.
Now you pick the time---at home when it is quiet and---you have time to think. Pour yourself a glass of wine and turn your computer on---because you are going to have fun.
Online dating is a 2.1 billion dollar business, and it's growing daily. Since people are being more audacious and letting their Internet savvy work for them we see a different future with the brave pioneers of---Internet space. We are little Cupid Cadets in quest of someone special to meet, date, and enjoy life with---as we zoom about in our little Spaceship Hearts seeking that phantom lover.
What should one do now? Does one join the big dating sites that have been here the longest? Or should one find their dating niche?
Here is my opinion: Why should I join a very popular site where everyone is thrown into the mix, to wade through the vast people---who are still there---and have probably grown weary of not finding the well-matched date?
I say "NO" I will not stress myself out on the big sites that everyone and their grandpa has joined. My theory is why swim in the sea of generality, when I can dive into a "Niche Pool" and find what I want.
In essence, if I wanted a "Sugar Daddy" I would go the site sugardaddies or any other site under that niche. Or if I wanted a cowboy because I lived in the country on a ranch or farm, and this is the kind of life I would want in my future then I would search the niche of--- Cowboy Dating Service---and find—dateacowboy.com and other sites under this niche.
I smiled when I found this one as I thought of a few of my friends who would love this niche---Beautiful People.com--beautifulpeople,com--Ugly People need not apply. (How does that grab you?)
This site boasts of over 750,000 members. The director stated that millions of people have applied at ---Beautiful People.com site, but only about I in 8 are accepted.
It is a strictly-controlled community for the aesthetically blessed. Members pay $25.00 per month for the great pleasure of belonging to the site.
With their bragging faces on and chests swelling with pride---this site brags of over 700 marriages as the proof of the beautiful seeking the beautiful, and then producing beautiful families.
We do not want anyone left out so there is a niche for The Ugly People Dating Service—(Do you believe it?) ---theugelybugball.com-- They are taking the very words out of my mouth---as they say---about ½ of the dating society is not beautiful, so why fish in a small pool catching nothing---dive into an ocean of ugliness.
Supposedly, they are saying plainer—or ugly people are nicer and more real. Everyone has a niche to call their own so niche away everyone and be happy.
And if I wanted to meet people who loved horses like I do I would search Equestrian Singles--- esquestriansingles.com--because it is more than just a dating service it integrates horse groupies worldwide. This niche site enlarges your circle of friends, creates the best areas to ride and communicates with others who share your love of horses.
A Few of the Niche Online Services and Sites
In the Cities dating niches grow with the population, therefore, they have a larger database. Such as:
People who love to read books
Jewish dating Jewish
Social Network for Singles
Up Size your dating life---size 6 on up
Dating based on people who love to read
Find Your Greek Match
Only generous men need apply SugarDaddies/Sugarbabies
Christians seeking Christians
Black Singles seeking Black Singles
Democrats meeting Democrats
Tattooed people meeting
Older women seeking younger men
Meeting other lovers of punk style
Waiting for marriage first
However, you can also find these dating niches in almost every large town. So if at first you don't succeed try another niche in the same category and as I said before there are 1,500+ Dating Service on the Internet.
Now it is easy to pinpoint a niche of one's choice. There are many free dating sites and others that charge a fee.
Please investigate the following before becoming a member:
1. Does the site do background checks?
2. Is this site free?
3. How much does the membership cost?
4. Are all members single?
Guidelines for Writing a Winning Profile:
Start with User Name Only: (The user name you registered on the site)
Tell about me: (Write a paragraph or two about yourself remaining on the positive side. This is not the time for funny jokes---save the funnies for answering emails it is more appreciated at that time.)
The person I am looking for: (Write from the heart without intimidating the readers.)
What I think would be a perfect first date: (Think about this one, and again from the heart, because this is your party.)
My insight of an idyllic relationship: (Answer this one with a positive tone also---do not let any ghosts from a bad relationship plague your opinions.) Be honest with yourself first---then write your true feelings.
Note: Always triple check your spelling and grammar and read it out loud to yourself. Does it illustrate your true feelings? Don't be afraid to communicate how you feel and what you want with the utmost diplomacy.
The Profile Photo:
Use a Professional you will be glad you did.
Have at least two made: One with a partial body pose.
Then a head photo: Make sure you smile for the camera for both photos.
A little cleavage is acceptable: But make sure it is done with good taste.
Now you are ready to go shopping for one compatible person who will make your life sizzle.
Remember---this is your journey make it worthwhile---do not settle for a date just because you received emails right away.
Read them well—bisect and dissect each word because their profile and emails are sent to electrify you. Read between the lines.
Select wisely, and remember to have fun---make yourself smile with your positive attitude in motion.
On First Date No Conversations About:
- One's Life Story on the first date.
- Do not talk about old boyfriends, or that you and your fiancé recently broke up.
- No Negativity.
So remember, it is easier to fish in a Catfish Pond if you want Catfish than it is to fish in the ocean for them. With total confidence this is why I say it is best to join a niche online dating services and sites and select your niche.
Good Luck! And use good common sense for your happiness and safety.

Background Screening
- Background Screening Should be Required for Dating Services.
I would never sign up with a service that did not do background checks. This is only common sense. Why put yourself in jeopardy.And, I believe they should do drug screening. There are too many bad people in our society today.

Well Done on hub #100 and this one is really good fun! today I told my hubby I was sick of all of these dating sites ads popping up when I'm on HubPages - well you noticed too! This is a cracker Bobbi!
Voted up and shared.
Bobbie, congratulations on your 100th hub. This is a fun one, too. I think I might get into trouble if I checked into some the sites, though. My husband is just picky that way. LOL
I can pass it on to some of my single friends, though. Great advice. Great hub! Votes and shared! :-)
Congratulations on #100...this was definitely entertaining to say the least. I roamed around the online dating circuit for awhile; it ended up being exhausting for me.
I really enjoyed this hub Bobbi! Have a wonderful weekend.
your friend,

Obtaining all records to document an insured's actual loss is an important part of the adjustment process. "Business Interruption v. Lost Profits in Subrogation" will explore the similarities and the potential conflicts between the insured's actual loss and the insured's covered loss.
The webinar will be held at 1:00 p.m. Central time as part of the joint webinar series NASP/PLRB Subro Investigation for Adjusters.
The nature of insurance coverage and the ultimate settlement of an insurance claim may not be reflective of the actual financial impact suffered by a company as a result of an insured peril. For example, a company's covered business income loss, constricted by policy limits, exclusions, a deductible or defined indemnity period, will typically not be equal to the company's actual lost profits sustained.
In these cases, the damages sought in a subrogation action against a third party will likely not be equal to the settlement paid by the carrier. In addition, mere proof of payment of a business interruption claim by a carrier will likely not be sufficient corroboration in a subrogation action. As a result, if the potential for subrogation has been identified, to increase the likelihood of a successful recovery, it is essential that all records required to document the insured's actual loss must be obtained during the adjustment process.
"Business Interruption v. Lost Profits in Subrogation" will explore the similarities and differences between an insured's actual loss and the insured's covered loss. It will also address the importance of obtaining proper documentation in a timely manner and examples of the specific information that would typically be needed to corroborate a claim for lost profits in a subrogation action.
Presenters are Kurt H. Stake, Litigation and Valuation Services of SingerLewak LLP, and David Brisco, JD, Subrogation & Recovery practice group, Litigation Department, Cozen O'Connor.
The webinar is available at no cost to employees of PLRB member companies and Affiliate Members. To register, click here.

Temperatures should warm up towards the weekend, with temperatures in the 20s. Advection will move in both Thursday and Friday before two precipitation events. A smaller event moves in late Thursday/early Friday, bringing a potential for half an inch of snow, as well as very strong winds due to tight pressure gradient lines. Saturday will bring more precipitation, with the potential of 2-3 inches of snow. However, the models vary for this event, and due to variations in temperatures, there is also a potential for rain and freezing rain to mix in with the snow.

Wearing What I Want
I have a confession.
I don't care about being ~in fashion~.
I have a shitty looking tote bag that I use most days.
But hey, it's okay. It's okay as you grow older to have a tick box of things you're quite happy to unsubscribe from caring about. And with ZERO judgement for those people who DO like it. I have lots of good friends who love and work in the fashion industry. I see their passion for it, and how hard they work and how excited clothes makes them. And they totally respect that I don't follow it very closely at all, and if we go shopping together I'll be that person who spends two hours in one second hand shop while they go off exploring elsewhere.
Because that's the thing: I care immensely about styling something up or trying something a bit different. But if anyone ever asked me the label, I'd just shrug.
In my opinion, barking at someone asking "WHO are you wearing?" still makes me think of someone carrying a person on their back.
(Although I gotta say: I'm into Rachel Antonoff in a BIG WAY because she has the coolest illustrations on her shirt collars.)
Basically, I can't be doing with the stress of keeping up. What's IN? What's NOT IN? HOW DO I REMAIN "IN"?
My solution: never be "in".
I've been at parties where I've been treated like a no-one just because I'm not wearing the "hippest" new label. Photographers have literally curled their lip at me in disgust before because I'd DARED TO WEAR an old H&M dress.
I went along to the W Hotel last year with a friend who had an invite to one of the ~Cool Parties~ in Leicester Sq. We were a few minutes late because we'd been too busy talking and catching up at a tapas place over the road, and the queue was mental. I recognised five celebrities in the queue, including a very well-known Instagram face. They weren't letting anyone else in. I saw a PR lady screaming at a bouncer because a member of a girl band (I won't say who) wasn't wearing a coat and was freezing her tits off in the queue and was embarrassed, because there were paparazzi around watching her. I felt so grossed out by the whole experience. Guest-lists, cold weather, queues, people crying and getting angry. I just start dreaming of Netflix and Wine.
This spark of "!!!! it's OK if I don't care about wearing the LATEST STUFF!!!" was inspired by the babe of all babes Anne T Donahue's newsletter, which you should subscribe to asap:
"And I hate camping. And 65% of all parties. And beaches. (Not the movie.) I hate restaurants whose dinner portions look like they're appropriate for an ant or maybe an ant's child. I hate sleeping on a friend's couch vs. going home to sleep in my own bed. I hate "dating."'
Her amazing newsletter was full of things she'd just manned up and admitted to not liking anymore. It's okay to change your mind and admit "actually this isn't very me" and to just consciously uncouple from a few things in your life. Trying to be cool and fashionable was one of those things for me. I sort of regret spending so much money in the past trying to fit in because I never really loved the clothes anyway.
But. Even though my eyes glaze over at the sight of a catwalk show, I place a lot of importance on the below list of things:
* Experimenting: I definitely want to be bolder with what I wear. I want my clothes to help me take more space, not less.
* Lifestyle over just clothes: I follow so many stylish people because I like being inspired by a person in full, not just what they look like.
* People: I like following people who don't take fashion seriously. Iris Apfel for example uses clothes as an extension of her personality. Into it.
* Self-expression. I LOVE picking out my clothes in the morning asking "who am I going to be today?" Changing things up and trying new things whenever I feel like it.
* Feeling good: Wearing stuff that makes you feel like you can go and have A REALLY GOOD DAY. THE END.
The stripped polo neck and NYC tee are both from PLT.com
Love this!!!!!
This made me think of a conversation I had the other day with a friend of mine about the difference between having style and being in fashion. Fashion comes and goes, it's controlled by the ebb and flow of an industry, and depending on what's popular at the moment, might not even be suitable for everybody. Style is a lot more personal than that. It's all about your personal preferences, what YOU like rather than what's popular at the moment.
Yup that's me, I am not into fashion. I barely can stand being in a store for long periods of time. I do have my occasionally names I know and when they come out with something and I happened to be in the store that day it's all mine. However, I am usually the girl who just want to look decent whatever that means. And I rather have someone else shop for me.
Such a great post, more often than not when clothing is worn with confidence, no matter what it is, it is viewed with a different look, sometimes a look of intrigue, appreciation and admiration.
I love this! Definitely something I agree with, I'm never 'In' but I just like wearing what I enjoy and what I feel happy in!
