You've probably experienced it before. You're taking your morning run or you're smack dab in the middle of a high-intensity interval workout and you suddenly feel a sharp stabbing pain in your side. It's almost enough to take your breath away! You stop what you're doing and grip your side in hopes that the stabbing will subside.
Is it appendicitis? Probably not. It's more likely a stitch in the side, a fairly common affliction among people who exercise, particularly runners. Most people who do any type of endurance exercise have experienced this side stabbing source of discomfort at one time or another and would like to know how to prevent it.
Those Troublesome Side Stitches
So, what causes side stitches? Surprisingly, no one knows for sure – but there are some theories. When you run, especially at a rapid pace, you take deep breaths and suck in lots of air, sometimes in a disorderly fashion. As your lungs fill with air, they push down on your diaphragm, the main muscle involved in respiration and this reduces blood flow to this important respiratory muscle. The diaphragm them feels the pinch and goes into spasms. Those spasms are what causes the sharp pain in your side, at least that's what some scientists think.
Newbies to the world of running are most likely to be sidelined by a side stitch. When you first start running or doing another form of intense exercise you have yet to master the art of breathing and, therefore, tend to breathe in a disorderly fashion. But, once running becomes routine, your breathing becomes more controlled. This places less pressure on the diaphragm and the spasms become less frequent. So, side stitches are more common in untrained runners than seasoned ones.
Another probable contributor to painful side stitches is eating before a workout. If you chow down on a large meal or a snack high in fat or fiber and then run, your stomach expands and pushes up on your diaphragm. This, too, can trigger spasms of the diaphragm muscle. Why fat and fiber? Both of these dietary components slow stomach emptying and delay movement of food out of the stomach into the lower intestinal tract. Therefore, your stomach stays distended longer after a meal that contains lots of fiber or fat.
But all is not set in stone. Recently, the theory that diaphragmatic spasms cause side stitches is being challenged. A study published in The Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport found that side stitches are more common in people who have poor posture. The theory they developed based on these findings is that bad posture disrupts nerves that run from the neck and back to the abdomen. In this case, you would expect to see more side stitches in runners who have poor posture when running, standing, or sitting and the study found that this is the case. This study also linked with more severe side stitches.
What Should You Do if You Get Side Stitches?
It's nice to have some idea what causes a side stitch to hit you, but it's even more important to know how to handle one if it happens. What should you do? Stop running or exercising, of course, and calm your breathing. Instead, take slow deep, controlled breaths. Stretching the side that's painful is also helpful. Most side stitches are on the right side, so stretch by raising your right hand toward the sky and tilting your body toward the left. Once the discomfort ceases, ease back into what you're doing by walking for a bit before picking up speed.
How to Prevent Side Stitches
Even better than knowing how to deal with a stitch in the side is preventing one in the first place. First, don't run or do high-intensity exercise within two hours of a meal. If you know you'll be exercising, eat a light meal or snack and make sure it's not high in fat or fiber. Hydration is important, but don't guzzle large quantities of water just before a workout. Doing so will expand your stomach and it will push up on your diaphragm. This can also worsen acid reflux and cause hiccups as well.
Work on your breathing too. Too often we aren't aware of how we're inhaling and exhaling air when we exercise. Focus on inhaling and exhaling through your nose in a steady, controlled manner, keep the same even rhythm as you run or exercise. It takes practice to breathe properly when you run.
Finally, work on your posture. Start by strengthening the muscles in your core and back as these muscles will do the most to improve your alignment. Also, work on releasing tight hip flexors by doing hip flexor stretches. Tight hip flexors from sitting too much throw your body's alignment off and contribute to poor posture.
The Bottom Line
Side stitches are no fun and, unfortunately, there's no surefire way to avoid them. The good news is you're less likely to experience them after you've been exercising awhile. To lower your risk, watch how much you eat or drink before a workout. Don't go into a sweat session with a stomach full of food, particularly fatty foods or snacks high in fiber. Always be aware of your breathing and running form – and don't forget to warm up before any type of exercise. Ease into it and gradually increase the intensity. This will help moderate your breathing and lead to less air gulping.
Finally, work on your core. A strong, stable core will improve your posture. If side stitches truly are related to poor posture and alignment, you'll be glad you did! If you have a side stitch that doesn't go aware after a few minutes, get it checked out as soon as possible. You wouldn't want to mistake a side stitch for heart-related pain.

Yesterday, Epic Games released the Xbox One X patch for Fortnite.
Fortnite is a free-to-play third-person shooter which features building mechanics and even a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds-like mode. However, the question many gamers wanted to know was what benefits Microsoft's new console received and how they compared to the PlayStation 4 Pro version.
Many months ago, Epic Games stated that the PlayStation 4 Pro version of Fortnite ran at 1080p with added effects. This was somewhat surprising given the fact that it wasn't even aiming for 1440p on Sony's machine. Some Xbox One X owners were worried that this would be the resolution for their version and it wouldn't be a great experience on 4K displays. Luckily, that's not the case at all.
We reached out to Fortnite's PR team for clarification. Epic confirmed that the PlayStation 4 Pro version still ran at 1080p. They added that the Xbox One X content is rendered at 80% of 4K (3072 by 1728 pixels) and then upsampled to 4K through a high-quality software upsampler. The HUD is rendered in 4K.
While some might have to have seen native 4K, it's still a significant upgrade and the game looks much more sharper than its PlayStation 4 Pro counterpart on 4K displays. The supersampling on 1080p displays also results in a smoother image. The Xbox One X update also bought about the return of the uncapped frame rates option for those who prefer it.
It's great to see developers utilize the 1.8 teraflops advantage the Xbox One X has to push higher resolution and better effects than Sony's console. Hopefully this trend continues in the future.

hello. So busy day today, did get my new custom stretcher bars with braces and I'm very happy. I've also found a car-service with vans which will be more convenient for my installation trip. I will not have to pick up the van and return it. I'm getting excited about the show I could always have more time but I've done some work and look forward to seeing it up when I will discover if it works.
OK. So I like this little naive painting. It is not in the show but one of the 9"x12" paintings that I made. The brushstroke is so juvenile and sweet and I am glad that it happened. I think it fits in perfectly with the flea market finds, my favorite kind of painting. When you find a gem that is a good day.
Brings me back to this guy that I've collected. He unloads work on Saturday 4:30 - 5:00 am with this particular dealer. I've bought twenty-five plus pieces from this dealer. The collecting bug that is what brought that up.
Good Night.

When you buy local food, you're supporting local farmers.
Shopping locally pumps more money right into the local economy.
Always better to buy local food indeed to support the locals.ReplyDelete
Yeah it is one of the better ideas at the moment to stimulate the economy in your neighborhood.
Neat photo - and I love farmers markets!ReplyDelete
I love the new 'buy local" mentality of many people. Produce farmers here are having a hard time, tho, because of the wet spring. According to the local newspapers, some planting will never be done, 10% of the corn crop has not and will not be planted...tough time for some farmers.ReplyDelete
Something I definitely want to support!ReplyDelete
Me encantan los mercados...un abarzo desde Murcia..ReplyDelete
I agree. But we have so few of these in the area. Darn!ReplyDelete
This brings back fond memories of shopping at Esposito's in the Philly Italian Market. Great shot!ReplyDelete
Love it, buying local is not too hard here because we (luckily) have quite a lot of working farms. The local movement is spreading, happily!ReplyDelete

The Melancholy of Unfinished Conversations
This is a letter to me to remind me how I feel, just one last time before I put it all away. For I have no locus to speak, and nothing to feel. It all started when I was more than comfortable in my own void, at the backdrop of my failing relationship. My first conversation with him was a perfect first date- funny, interesting and full of surprises. Before we knew it, we were completing each other's sentences and finishing each other's thoughts. It was a crazy manga night. They say there is nothing more intoxicating than an interesting conversation and by the end of it, we were high.
The high continued for the next week and I found myself cancelling plans with friends just to be with him. Our conversation wasn't over yet. Our souls had a lot more to say. We spent almost the entire day together apart from the time we slept. We just weren't there yet. I was in a different world around him, in a high that I cannot explain. We had our second, third and fourth dates. By our second date, we had a random stranger acknowledge the chemistry we shared. "We're just colleagues", he said. I acknowledged. "What more could it be?" I thought. "Could two people who share an amazing chemistry have a platonic equation?" I thought.
Alcohol and weed was just an element to the high that we were in. I asked him if what I feel when I am high is what I feel in real. Our souls sought comfort and company in each other. We had our moments, which I didn't acknowledge until much later. We weren't there yet. I came back home after the 5 days that I would never forget. At least not in a long time. Our conversation wasn't over yet. I thought to myself that it was just the place. And the spark will soon die down.
I am just a lost soul trying to fathom what I feel. He pursued. I reciprocated. And before I knew it, we met again.
This time there was comfort and longing. I felt at home around him. It was time for us to take our conversation further. With some alcohol, I found him exploring my lips for answers. I was scared. More so because it felt right. But now isn't the time. Our conversation wasn't over yet. I slept over it. We continued in the morning, our lips raw with passion. We kept speaking. It was surreal. It was another day of work and a good evening together. As the moon lit up our terrace, we couldn't wait any longer. And before we realized, we lay naked next to each other. He explored every part of my body. I lay a slave to my soul. For this is what it was seeking. I couldn't stop. My body was too numb to respond. I found answers to questions that I never had. Our conversation wasn't over yet. We had so much more to say. And so little time. The universe stood witness to the most intense night in my life. Mostly, he spoke. I listened with intent. It brought me closer to him. Closer than I imagined. Our conversation wasn't over yet. I finally had a thought. It had to end some day. The magic doesn't last. But our conversation is too intense to end, it could only be incomplete. Oh, the melancholy of an unfinished conversation!
His fingers intertwined mine as I felt a pang in my stomach. We were lovers to the outside world as we journeyed back to our respective . It was like a high coming crashing down. I wasn't ready to face reality. My soul's thirst for his company only grew more intense. Work became about him. Long lunches followed by our search for answers in each others bodies. Staring into silence at the beach. Dinners. Weed. Half played movies, abruptly stopped by our uncontrollable urge to get physical. Every time we did, our souls spoke. Our bodies, just a medium to facilitate. I had so much more to say. I had to let my soul speak, as did he. Our conversation wasn't over yet.

There is a Montessori activity called a movable alphabet. Basically it is multiples of every letter in the alphabet, including upper and lower case letters used in learning the alphabet and spelling. Typically they are made of wood and have sandpaper letters. Isaac is always asking how to spell words, or making up his own words so I thought this would be a great learning tool for him.
Well, I saw on another blog. "I could do that" I thought, so trying to be thrifty, I decided I would just print the letters out on card stock since I didn't have any foam letters. Then I used my square cutter from my scrapbooking supplies and voila! Our very own movable alphabet--- with a couple of minor alterations!
I think he likes it!

Hi Mike Please warn your readers walking their dogs on mount pleasant golf course that I saw a huge cobra there in the first set of gum trees. My dogs actually stood on it but it was sluggish and I managed to call then off by the time it reacted and reared. Could have ended in disaster. Thanks Lisa
We returned to Harare on New Year's Day from Sabi Conservancy (Senuko Section) via Chisumbanje and Birchenough Bridge, then onto Mutare and HRE.
The so-called trunk road just beyond the Malilangwe boundary to Birchenough Bridge is a without question an unmitigated disaster, or essentially a write off (we "inched" our way mostly between 2nd and 3rd gears for much of that sector up past Sabi Arda and Tanganda). It took us 11 hours to drive to HRE via the SE part of Zims, when in reality it should have taken just on nine hours. I felt it most unfortunate that no signs were posted to indicate hazardous conditions ahead. What was even more horrifying was the senselessness of the lorry drivers and owners of many larny 4x4's who flew through along those broken up roads, seemingly oblivious to the dangers to themselves and others. Perhaps an appropriate word with the authorities would be in order, as the situation is not only dangerous, but the wear and tear on vehicles must be incalculable. How can this be accomplished? Thank you. Best, CG
Reading this has prompted me to write about something that has been bugging me lately in this country. You rightly mention about kids in cars that are not strapped in. Even toddlers are allowed to stand between the front seats!! Education in road and car safety has GOT to be promoted, children will do what their parents do, so we all have a responsibility. Lets promote a safer year ahead. Georgie
Hi Mike, I am a bit late in commenting but I am shocked and distressed at how many dogs go missing from supposedly loving homes. How do these dogs get out of their properties??? We never drive in or out of our home without watching the gate to see that none of our animals has come out. when it is shut only then do we move. I believe it is straight neglect and thoughtlessness!!! Kerry
Dear Mike, Please have your readers aware of a very well-spoken, well-dressed nerd-type (think Erkel: tall, slim, oversized glasses and buck toothed) African gentleman visiting offices. He came to our office yesterday in Avondale off of 2nd Street Extension. He is very convincing as he spends lots of time asking thorough, intelligent questions about your product/service and in general, gaining your trust. He then very stealthily turns your attention to his business – he sells HP computers. Here's how: he tells you that he is interested in your service/product, but must come back because he is particularly busy and must go because today is a one-day only deal that HP gives their staff members once a year: he is allowed to buy any product at cost. He must go and pick up computers before HP closes. If you are in the market for a computer like we are, you are very interested in the 'cost' price of that laptop you've had your eye on…which, by the way, we still scratch our heads about: 'How did he know that we wanted computers? We've never seen this guy before in our lives!' We order the laptop with him, pay him the 'cost' price and he promises to return before end of day. Yep, you guessed it: he never came back. And before you ask: yes, we did collect his ID info -- he goes by the name of Talent Gutsi (National ID #63-884761-907), phone number is 0772 046 106 and lives at #45 Bowood Drive in Mt Pleasant…off course, none of this bogus information pans out. He is a thief and don't believe a word he says – even from kind, sweet, nerdy Erkel! Signed, Red-Faced but Wiser
This beautiful dog is lost. She turned up a few days ago on the plot next door to us which is unoccupied and has been keeping the security guard company. We are just off Ridgeway South.
If anyone knows where she comes from please call - Carine 495949 or 0775 009080
Reading about that I feel that I must relate my story concerning the Beitbridge Border on the Zim side.
My husband and I were at Lion and Elephant for the night of the 28th Dec 14 having coming thru the border earlier. At supper I noticed two ladies on their own and we started chatting. It turned out these unfortunate ladies (ex Zim) - sisters - one partially disabled - had spent from 10am - 3pm that day on the Zim side, were scammed and terrified out of their wits. Basically told by touts they had to pay for this and that - even duty on one of their personal cameras!! They did pay (which they couldn't afford!!) but obviously no receipts. We felt so sorry for them and also embarrassed about the incident in our country, we had them follow us into Harare the next day and delivered them safely to their family (they were coming to Harare for a wedding). I was worried about them being further terrorised at any road blocks - which luckily did not happen.
I did see at some stage last year "Tourism" officials at that same border and funnily enough I saw police with "Tourism" section printed on their yellow vests as we drove back into town that day. I hope something is being done, as the border is pleasant and the officials are great - we were 30mins on both sides coming back in.
Maybe a tip for people reading this, is to warn family/friends coming thru the borders to not speak to or entertain any people milling around who are not proper officials - the only money to be paid over at the Bridge is the toll fee and road access - the TIP on their vehicle costs nothing but you have to buy the insurance. Also any valuables cameras, laptops etc have to be declared. If in any doubt over anything speak to people behind the counters only.

Via The New York Times; Print Books Are Target of Pirates on the Web:
"For now, electronic piracy of books does not seem as widespread as what hit the music world, when file-sharing services like Napster threatened to take down the whole industry.
Publishers and authors say they can learn from their peers in music, who alienated fans by using the courts aggressively to go after college students and Napster before it converted to a legitimate online store.
"If iTunes started three years earlier, I'm not sure how big Napster and the subsequent piratical environments would have been, because people would have been in the habit of legitimately purchasing at pricing that wasn't considered pernicious," said Richard Sarnoff, a chairman of Bertelsmann, which owns Random House, the world's largest publisher of consumer titles...
Others view digital piracy as a way for new readers to discover writers. "
This blog highlights Copyright, Fair Use, Patent, Trademark, Trade Secret and "Open" Movement-related topics—Open Access, Open Data, Open Source, Open Education, Open Science—which are explored in the LIS 2184: Intellectual Property and "Open" Movements and LIS 2194: Information Ethics graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information.

Well before the shock and pain subside, the victims of Hurricane Charley in Florida must add another worry to their list: an exorbitant increase in the cost of key building materials, principally cement, that will be needed to reconstruct their devastated towns and cities.
Cement shortages that first appeared this spring in Florida (which imports about 40% of its cement, compared with a nationwide average of 20%) have now reached a critical point. Other parts of the country are also being hit hard as fierce demand in China soaks up world supplies. By June, prices had risen by as much as 20% in some regions. In a survey that month by the National Assn. of Home Builders, 41% of responders said they were experiencing a shortage of cement, up from 11% in May.
The shortage, along with scarcity of other building materials like wallboard, steel framing, lumber and insulation, is driving up the cost of a new house by an average of $5,000 to $7,000, according to the builders association. Yet, at least when it comes to cement, it's a relatively simple problem to solve. Congress and the Bush administration should rescind the costly anti-dumping duties imposed on Mexican cement in 1990.

Talk to the Hand because Kris Isn't Listening
I am going to tell this woeful tale here on my blog. I have told it time and again...to myself, to my friends, coworkers, my kids, my spouse...to people close enough to me to listen. Sometimes it was the synopsis of the story, sometimes it was the full length novella version. But I'm going to tell the whole thing here today. And then, I'm leaving it alone. I'm leaving it in the past. It's over. Done with. The excuses, the reasons, the explanations.
When I was in high school, I was physically fit. I was on the varsity tennis team, I lifted weights, I ended up playing #1 singles on our team. I could play tennis for 3 hours and not get winded. I could eat a Big Mac and it not even phase me. I was 5'4" tall, always weighed between 110 to 115 pounds, lean muscle.
I had my first child at 18...almost 19. During the pregnancy, my doctors threatened me with bed rest if I didn't gain weight. I worked as a waitress, but I stopped working at 6 1/2 months and I finally did gain the weight the doctors wanted. I had no car at the time I was pregnant, so I walked all over town. I gained 25 pounds and lost all but about five pounds right after Josh was born.
One reason I lost most of my weight is that finances required me to go right back to work as a waitress. Rob and I were saving for an apartment. I was living with my dad, and that wasn't working out at all. So, I think Josh was three weeks old when I went back to work. Within a few weeks we had our own place.
I became pregnant with Jess when Josh was eight months old. I was so happy when I found out I was having a girl! I gained 30 pounds, but I lost all but about 10 pounds of it after Jess. I suffered some post par tum depression, but kept on going. I went back to work when Jess was 6 weeks old, but this time at a local pharmacy.
It wasn't long before I had to stop working. Jess' health was in jeopardy. They thought she had cystic fibrosis. Her lungs collapsed often. She had bout after bout with pneumonia. She had a pulmonary specialist, an ear nose and throat specialist, and we practically lived at our primary care physician's office.
I had to give her treatments that involved pounding on her back with a rubber device three times a day, 45 minutes each time. Also, she had three breathing treatments a day with albuterol administered through a machine.
Getting Jess well consumed me. I stayed home, prayed and studied, worked out on my stepper 1/2 hour a day, devoted myself to the little ones. Meanwhile, Rob was a manager at a restaurant, so he worked long hours.
Jess ended up having a sleep study, lots of tests, and then two surgeries. Her days of living in a doctor's office were over! She had no more treatments! She was a healthy little toddler!
I was able to go back to work. Rob and I figured our family was complete. I tried to get away from waitressing. The hours were long, and the job was demanding. I worked at a laundromat, then the local YMCA. Eventually, I came to terms with the fact that I made better money waitressing than any of the minimum wage jobs I was working.
So, I decided if waitressing was my calling in life, I'd be the best waitress I could be. I committed to being the best me I could be. I ended up being offered commission on my sales, benefits on top of tips. That was a nearly unheard of deal in the restaurant I worked for. I did a lot of training of the other servers.
Around this time, I decided I wanted to have my tubes tied. I was tired of birth control pills, I had done the Norplant thing which did not work out for me at all. I talked it over with Rob, he said, "Whatever you want to do," and I went to the doctor.
I talked the surgery option over with the doctor. I was 24 years old. One of the first things I asked him was, "Is this procedure reversible if I change my mind later?"
He looked at me and made a statement that changed my life. :) He said, "If you are asking me if a procedure is reversible, then you are not sure this is the course of action you want to take. I don't believe that you have thought this through. I don't think you can say to me, 'I don't want any more children.' If you aren't sure what you want, you'd better go home and think about this a bit more."
So, I went home and talked to Rob about it. He loves kids, but he wasn't pushing me either way. He said, "I would love to have another baby, but it's your body. If you do decide you're willing to have another baby, let's do it before I'm thirty. Josh is going to be six soon, Jess will be five. I don't want a huge gap between them. Also, I want to be able to be young enough to enjoy a baby."
So, I sat there and did the math in my head. I was 24 at the time, but Rob is four years older than me. If I waited too much longer to get pregnant, he'd be 30. This discussion took place in February of 1996. Josiah was born November 11, 1997. Obviously, you know what my decision was. ;)
I gained seventeen pounds when pregnant with Josiah. Since my starting weight was about 15-20 pounds higher than when I was a teenage mom, doctor's weren't concerned. My job as a waitress kept me fit.
I had my tubes tied while I was still in the hospital after Jo was born. I nursed Jo, and that helped me get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. When Jo was three months old, I went back to work at the same restaurant I left, only this time, part time. I only worked 10-1, the lunch rush.
When Jo was about six months old, I met Bipsy. I worked the counter/carryout section of the store, and she was a counter regular. I really liked her. She was the only woman among a bunch of coffee drinking men. She was funny, pretty, self confident, and no-nonsense. She came in, got her diet coke, cottage cheese and fruit, and read the paper. I looked forward to her coming in, and like all my customers, I made sure she got good service.
About three months after we met, she offered me an office job. I wasn't sure what to think! I had no computer skills to speak of. I had taken Typing I & II in school, but that was high school! I told her this. She said something like, "I'd rather hire a quality worker and train them than hire a bad worker who is already college educated."
So, nervous as I was, I took the job. She sent me to classes in Excel, Word, accounting courses, Power Point, etc. I started out part time. Eventually, sooner than later, I went full time. I didn't wean Jo until he was two, so I took my lunch break to go home and nurse him.
So, I had an office job, and I was doing well. I gained about ten pounds almost immediately after I stopped waitressing. I wasn't too alarmed, I still felt like I looked decent for a mother of three.
About three months on the job, I was diagnosed with asthma/allergies, and was put on several prescription meds. Then, about six months on those meds, my doctor switched my allergy medications. Turns out, the medication had my heart racing. Within a few months of the switch, I gained between five and ten pounds.
I stopped nursing Jo in that time frame, and almost immediately gained more weight.
Frustrated, and realizing I was thirty pounds above where I wanted to be, I decided enough was enough. I didn't want to be 110 anymore, and knew that was unrealistic. I just figured that if I gained five pounds a year, at that rate, I'd be totally miserable by the time I was forty.
So, I joined a diet class that met at a local church. We met once a week, and we weighed in, stayed accountable, had a message and a prayer, and kept it short. I lost an average of 1.5 pounds a week. In about four month's time I had lost the weight I wanted. I simply cut back on food, kept track of what I ate, and worked out on my stepper for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes a day, several times a week. I felt great.
I never gained a lot of weight back, and stayed within ten pounds of my goal weight all the time. I had hernia surgery, still didn't gain any weight through the recovery. The diet class administrator stopped having the class due to a job situation, but I still kept on track.
Then, in Spring of 2000, Bipsy and I were coming back from having lunch at a country restaurant, and a car pulled out in front of us. We were going 55 mph at the time. Her truck was knocked off the road, hit a ditch, bounced back up, went through a fence, and narrowly missed hitting a tree on my side. My glasses were knocked off, my leftovers thrown all over the truck, but thank the Lord, no one was killed. I felt fine. We all refused treatment at the scene.
I went home, and the next day I could barely move. I had whiplash, so did Bipsy, obviously, but I had pain from my neck down to my lower back. I assumed it would go away, but it didn't. I couldn't lift things I used to be able to lift, I couldn't work out on the stepper...even walking outside killed my back.
I ended up having a cat scan of my back, which showed bulging disks in my upper and lower spine. I had to go through physical therapy. The physical therapist said a few interesting things. She said that if I weren't in the great physical condition that I was in at the time of the accident, I might have ended up in traction. She also said that given the poor alignment of my ankles, she was sure that they were partially to blame for my disk condition. I explained that I was supposed to have special shoes that my birth parents didn't buy for me, and that my grandparents didn't want to have my legs broken and set once the damage was done to my ankles. The therapist indicated that I would need to find alternative exercises that were not high impact and back-friendly.
For awhile I went to water aerobics at the YMCA. Things started getting busy in my life, and I found it harder and harder to get away to work out. Weight started creeping back on.
Then, my grandmother's health started to decline. I found myself practically living in my car. I had kids to run around, or her to take to appointments on my time off. All I got done was sitting. I sat at work, I sat in the car while playing taxi driver, and I collapsed into bed when I got home. My only meals became double cheeseburgers at 10 p.m. at a drive through.
I had no time to call my own. My health declined, but I didn't have time to go see a doctor myself. I stopped going to the allergist, who eventually refused to treat me due to my not conforming to their asthma management plan. I had kidney infection and utis one right after another, but I didn't have time to wonder what was causing that. During this time, I simply stopped weighing myself at all.
On New Year's Eve 2005, Grandma died. I spent that year trying to work through my anger and pain and grief as well as settle the estate and figure out how I was going to buy her house. I suffered a bout with pneumonia in March. Then, that November, my birth mother died. By this time, I was fighting depression tooth and nail. I didn't want to get out of bed. I was sure each day was going to bring another evil surprise. I would lose someone else. There would be another unexpected bill. Life would keep throwing me for a loop. It was only the love of my husband, kids and pets that kept me from giving in to my feelings of anxiety. I kept getting out of bed. I kept going to work. I kept on going, but I didn't want to.
In January of 2006, I decided to make a comeback. I started reading my Bible more. I started to try to shed my skin, literally, spiritually, and emotionally. I was doing great! I was working out almost every day to the Leslie Sansone low impact walking videos. I'd found an exercise I could do, that didn't hurt my back. I was on the road to feeling good again.
This is where I think I really got knocked off course. While working out, I realized something was very wrong with me...inside of me. I felt like my insides were falling out...for a lack of a more delicate way to say it. I thought at first my bulging disks were pressing against my spine causing something weird to happen to my body. Then, after I continued to work out, I realized it wasn't my back. Something was wrong.
I went to the doctor. My "feeling" was right on target. Being a smallish woman with a short torso, the pressure of having three eight pound babies had given me what's known as pelvic organ prolapse. My insides were falling...down. That's what was causing all of my utis and kidney infections. Working out was making gravity work faster.
Within two weeks I was scheduled for surgery. Major repair work. Mesh and slings and stitching...the works. Because of our two house payments and mounting bills, I could only take two weeks off. I was supposed to take six weeks off.
I came back to work, more exhausted and more depressed. I didn't really come out of it. I spent the rest of 2006 continuing to ignore my unhealthy attitudes and continuing weight gain. Until now.
I don't really know where this motivation came from, (although I think I sort of jumped on the bandwagon everyone around me was on) but I've made some decisions.
#1. I am done with the past. My surgeries, insecurities, losses, pain, accidents, bad decisions, good decisions, could haves, should haves, wish I hadn'ts....they are done. What I do today is the only thing I'm judging myself on. I can't blame my current weight on what I did five years ago. I also can't expect to modify my situation unless I change my behavior.
#2. I am no longer obsessing about a number on the scale or a pant size. I want to look good, feel good, reduce my health risk factors and have energy.
#3. I want to change my life...not for a short term fix, but a healthy lifelong goal.
#4. I want to be accountable to MYSELF for my own behavior.
There's more on my mind than what I've said here, but it's time to work out. I'll finish these thoughts later today or tomorrow. That should give your eyes a chance to rest, anyway. ;)
Have a good night!

You can find quite a few good gardening tips in this article. If you have plenty of information and tips on gardening, there's a better chance that you will be able to create a wonderful garden.
Have your soil analyzed by a laboratory for a small fee so that you know which nutrients you need to add. Many college agricultural departments or cooperative extensions will provide this service for just a few dollars. Once you have the report, head to a farm supply company and buy what you need.
A great tip to consider when gardening is the fact that you need to get rid of weeds even though you might not enjoy working at it. This is important because weeds steal nutrients from the soil that your plants need and they also may overtake your plants, denying them water and sunlight.
Take care of weeds right away when you see them sprout up. Weeds can grow very quickly, and they can take over your garden if they are left unattended. It is easier to keep weeds under control when the weeds are still relatively young. Large weeds have deeper roots and are more difficult to remove.
Old pantyhose make useful garden tools. Next time you find yourself reaching for some twine in your garden, consider using an old pair of pantyhose instead. Pantyhose are flexible, yet strong; and their soft feel will not damage plant stems by cutting into them. The elastic nature also gives your plants room to grow without strangulation.
A great tip to consider when gardening is to consider having more than one compost pile in order to separate compost that has already broken down into ready to use fertilizer and that which is still in the process. This is a good idea to consider because it will help you organize a lot better and will get you started on a new fertilizer source. Pop over to www.weathersafe.com.au/perth/shade-sails for up to date ideas.
Working in a garden may seem like a highly difficult undertaking at the very beginning. This is why it is very important that you start with only a small patch and with simpler plants. By working your way up to a larger garden you will stay interested and avoiding becoming overwhelmed.
As was discussed at the beginning of this article, many people love to garden and it is considered to be a popular hobby. Although gardening for the first time might appear to daunting to some, it becomes easy if we are equipped with the right information. Apply this article's advice and you'll be well on your way to having a beautiful garden.

I am bad at drinking enough water during the day. Part of it is that I get to busy, but a big part of it is that I am not a big fan of water. I recently had a chance to try out Ultima Replenisher and I love it.
Its a mix in powder that tastes like refreshing lemonade. Its easy to mix and it tastes great. Its not over powering and it doesn't take over sweet like some other powder mixes. It actually mixes clear like real lemonade. It doesn't have the artificial coloring that other mixes do either.
Ultima is a great alternative to other sports drinks. It has less sugar, more elctrolytes and even fewer calories. I love that it doesn't give you that sugar rush. I'm hypoglycemic and so many beverages make me sick to my stomach or give me sugar issues for the rest of the day.
I also like that I can mix the drink myself. The powder is easy to carry and I can turn any bottle of water into a sports beverage on the go. Ultima isn't expensive and its easy to find too!
Take a peek at the Ultima website here:

Yes I'm back from a long trip to Europe. Very nice if only we could eliminate the 10 hour+ flights. Those of you who have followed me over the years know I'm a big believer in CYCLES whether it's Global warming/cooling, sunspots, El Nino/La Nina etc. The MJO often predicts an active uptick in tropical activity like back in June with Bret & Cindy. Today we have a very active EPAC and a lessor active MDR in the Atlantic. NHC did upgrade a system east of Barbados to Tropical Storm Don this afternoon, but his life cycle will be very short as the Caribbean has strong wind shear that will quickly affect Don. Behind Don is another system that computer models take farther to the north well east of the islands later this week. There is nothing showing up in the models in the 10-14 day period that threatens the Gulf. That will get us into August when, historically, the heart (most active) of the hurricane season occurs. Usually, Aug. 15th thru Sept. 30th is our crunch time IF we are to have any tropical threats. What I am seeing tonight is a pattern of upper lows (TUTT) stretching from the SW Gulf back across the Northern Caribbean Sea that makes for a hostile environment. We know hurricanes need upper level highs to allow the low level convergence to vent, so upper lows are good news for us.
In the short term, our current pattern is NOT totally "typical summertime" in that the movement of storms is slow and erratic, unlike the more "normal" SE to NW movement around the Bermuda High. This slow movement results in 2-3" of rain in less than an hour over small areas that leads to brief street flooding. Expect more of the same on Tuesday. A drying trend sets in for Wed-Friday meaning we should see hotter temperatures. If you think positive, we only have about 8-10 weeks before real cold fronts start to return. Stay tuned!

Love the yarn and your little one is adorable!!!
Only one chocolate chip cookie?? Isn't there normally one for each hand? Lovely photo :)
Thank you! And yes, there usually is another cookie in the other hand, but he needed at least one for climbing and if he puts a cookie down, it becomes fair game for the dogs that tend to circle him like sharks!

Easter is changing. For the better! More people are becoming focused upon the reason for Easter, and putting aside the secular parts (i.e. Easter Bunny, egg hunts, candy, etc.) in favor of something more spiritual, more peace and life-affirming.
As I've heard about others' attempts to do this, I've found my lazy attitude to change the way I celebrate the Most-important-event-in-the-history-of-mankind quite disappointing.
In order to rid myself of the guilt, I've done a few things this year:
- Continued the truth that was revealed last year by #1: The Easter Bunny is NOT real and we just leave baskets for fun.
- Had the children watch the 2003 Ensign's DVD on the life and death of Christ this morning
- Asked the children, last night, why they think we celebrate Easter. My heart was overflowing with joy when #2 said "Because Jesus died and then was Wezawected"
- Watched, over and over, the Music and the Spoken Word where they sung a new piece that was written (lyrics) by my friend and former Bishop, David Warner. :)
--John, Chapter 20:11-16
11 ¶ But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, 12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

* The fast and logical solution to infernal itching
The friend (or partner) who offers to scratch your back is a friend (or partner) indeed. Except it all goes horribly wrong when they just can't seem to locate the maddening itch. For those who are fed up of saying, 'left a bit... up a bit... right a bit!' comes a very special T-shirt, complete with Battleships style, itch-locater grid. The scratchee is also equipped with a hand-held miniature corresponding grid-map, for accurate communication. So when the scratcher says, 'I'm scratching F5, ' the scratchee can say, 'try G7'.
* For secure subway snoozing
Another Chindogu to aid the comfort and repose of weary commuters, and arguably the best. Like the Subway Sleeper's Screen (see page 143), the Commuter's Helmet sports a message to fellow travellers, reading, 'I'm having a short nap. Could you please wake me up when I reach the stop printed below. Many Thanks.' But since it depends entirely on the co-operation of fellow passengers for success, this Chindogu has also been designed to maximize their finer communal instincts and sense of goodwill. The suction pad on the back of the helmet keeps the head firmly in place, thus preventing the sleeper's head from lolling intrusively on the shoulders or laps of his or her neighbours. This courtesy will no doubt be appreciated, and the reciprocal favour of a timely awakening is more likely to be achieved.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Ways Of Looking highlights
Imagine what organising a 12-month festival must take out of you. 'Ten years ago,' says Anne McNeill, director of Impressions Gallery and west Yorkshire's strongest advocate of contemporary fine-art photography, 'there was a year-long festival in Yorkshire called Photo '98.
I was director, and Nicola Stephenson of The Culture Company was the public art manager. There were 130 exhibitions, and it almost killed us. But a decade later, we wanted to look at how photography in Yorkshire had moved on. We talked about it, and Nicola said: "You're mad. But count me in."'
The result is Ways Of Looking. Split between 14 galleries and arts organisations in and around Leeds and Bradford, it involves a series of exhibitions dedicated not just to photographic work, but to showing the medium's history and the way it is progressing as a 21st-century art form. As such, its reach stretches from Work And Play at Harewood House, featuring work from Victorian photographic pioneer Roger Fenton, to #7071, a photographic intervention on the main concourse of Leeds Station, the first public exhibition for emerging artist David Knowles.
Whereas Photo '98 extended across the entire Yorkshire region and received large amounts of public funding, Ways Of Looking has had very little (an Arts Council grant), so McNeill and Stephenson narrowed their focus. 'We decided to see what it would be like if there was a dialogue between the two cities, and it really shows the strength of the organisations, and the strength of the art form. We're proud of the Yorkshire emphasis, but there's nothing parochial about the work on show.'
With artist photographers and film-makers widely using digital media, lens-based work has offered new possibilities to fine-art gallery audiences: hence, in part, the title Ways Of Looking. But it also suggests the ways that photography audiences might move beyond their comfort zones. 'If audiences are interested in a certain kind of work, we'd like to show them another way of looking,' McNeill smiles. 'So people might come to try, say, cutting-edge, high-definition video work, and then see that there are alternatives.'
The changes in attitude and approach to photography that have taken place in the past decade, says McNeill, are immense. 'Even ten years ago, we were fighting to get galleries in the fine-art tradition to accept photography as a valid art form,' she notes. 'Now, it's accepted that you can be a photographer, or an artist working with photography. It's not a Cinderella art form any more: it's gone to the ball.'

Clearer path for Lead for Speed
PHOENIX - When Lead for Speed goes in the gate for Saturday's $100,000 Turf Paradise Derby, he won't see any of the horses who gave him trouble in his last three outings.
dueled every step of the way in the Jan. 23 Rattlesnake here, his first start over two turns, and prevailed by a nose over Scottsbluff. Before that, Lead for Speed was no challenge for the brilliant Lost in the Fog in the Arizona Juvenile on Dec. 26, finishing third by 15 1/2 lengths. Before that, Lead for Speed chased Walker in the Fool the Experts in the slop here Nov. 22 before finishing second by 6 1/4 lengths. None of those three rivals are running in Saturday's race.
That leaves Lead for Speed as the horse to beat in the 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-olds. With his speed, he figures to be in the picture from the start.
"I thought the Rattlesnake might have taken a bit out of him since he raced head-to-head most of the race," said trainer Dan McFarlane. "But he hasn't lost a thing. His last work was perfect," he said, referring to Lead for Speed's four-furlong work in 46.60 seconds. Regular rider Wilson Dieguez keeps the call.
Several California shippers stand in Lead for Speed's way, including General John B, who was supplemented to the race by trainer Roger Stein. A son of Sweetsouthernsaint, General John B invaded from Calder and finished third in Santa Anita's San Miguel on Jan. 15. The horse he chased home that day, Going Wild, came back to win the Sham Stakes at Santa Anita last weekend. Jon Court rides.
Former local leading trainer Jeff Mullins may have a say here with the talented Stormin Away. A son of Skip Away, Stormin Away won his maiden by nine lengths at Santa Anita in October in his first try around two turns. He has since chased stakes horses Chips Are Down and Diligent Prospect at Santa Anita and comes off a strong allowance win there Jan. 14, when he was moved back to this distance. Scott Stevens rides.

Sabian AA Rock Ride 22" : la opinión de moosers (content in English)
The Sabian AA Rock Ride 22" is a ride cymbal that's to be used with your full drum kit. The name gives away a good amount here, as this cymbal is definitely best suited for rock drummers since it's got a good amount of crash happening. I'm not primarily a drummer, but recently did a recording session where the drummer was using this cymbal and was really impressed with it's overall sound. I don't know what the cymbal is made from exactly, but it's definitely high quality. All cymbals are different a little bit, so it's probably worth it to check out the one that you're buying if possible. This cymbal comes in a few other sizes other than the 22" cymbal, but this one is as good a size as any, it just depends on what sound you're trying to achieve with it. The session I was working on was for a pretty well known hard rock act and the drummer had a huge drum set that included this cymbal. He had a ton of other cymbals as well, but this was the main ride cymbal that he was using and it really sounded great. It's a really dark and heavy sounding ride cymbal in my opinion, which was great for the style of music being played, but probably not ideal in too many other situations. For this reason I'd strictly recommend this cymbal for those who are playing rock and hitting their ride rather hard. If you're looking for something that can play well on both sides of the spectrum, I'd consider something else that's a bit more versatile. It's expensive as there aren't many cymbals that will be priced too much higher, but for a professional who is after a heavy ride cymbal, it doesn't get much better sounding.
