Eugene McGuinness | 24/07/14
Eugene McGuinness has announced details of the release of a new single. The Crueler Kind will be released on Domino Records on Monday September 15th 2014.
The single is taken from his recent album, Chroma, which was released in July.
Recorded and produced by Dan Carey at his South London studio as part of the album sessions, the single features arguably one of the best rhythm sections in the UK, Tom and Leo from The Invisible.
Chroma, his Eugene's album, following his self-titled debut in 2008, Glue (2009) and The Invitation To The Voyage (2012) treads a much more Spontaneous, stripped-back and raw path, perfectly showcasing his songwriting talent.
The Amazing Snakeheads | 23/07/14

The band's debut album, Amphetamine Ballads, which saw its UK release in April, was featured on Pitchfork as their Advance Stream last week to coincide with the US release of the album. A monument to the redemptive powers of rock 'n' roll - full of rage, romance and dark humour - Amphetamine Ballads is an uncompromising, astonishingly visceral record.

Blood Orange | 09/07/14
Devonté Hynes – aka Blood Orange – released his sophomore album Cupid Deluxe to critical acclaim last year. Today, he releases a new music video for Cupid Deluxe's grime-inspired track, "High Street" featuring British rapper, Skepta. Click HERE to watch the video exclusively via ssense.com.
Subsequent to the release of Cupid Deluxe, Hynes has quickly established himself as one of the most prolific musicians, songwriters, and producers in contemporary music: Cupid Deluxe earned recognition from both NPR Music and Pitchfork in their Top 50 Albums of the Year compilations. Known as "2014's answer to Lou Reed" according to GQ, 2014 has undoubtedly been the year of Devonté Hynes.
Blood Orange's partnership with SSENSE is part of the international online retailer's series of bi-weekly music-based videos, a project that has seen collaborations between established artists and creatives from every corner of the industry. So far, SSENSE has premiered videos for artists like Sky Ferreira, Hercules & Love Affair, and Henry Krinkle. In their most recent release, Maryam L'Ange directed Chloë Sevigny in a noir-inspired fashion film featuring music by electronica three-piece, Eaux. Every video allows viewers to shop the fashion featured on screen, while Blood Orange and Skepta's "High Street" offers an exclusive preview of the upcoming Fall season.
Cupid Deluxe is available for download via iTunes here, and you can order a physical copy of the release via Dom Mart, here. Blood Orange will also be completing his summer festival tour at events like at Lollapalooza in the US and Way Out West in Sweden, and will be headlining Central Park Summerstage in NYC in August.
Watch the video for "High Street" on SSENSE here.
Blood Orange live dates:
30/07/14 Toronto, ON - Danforth Music Hall
01/08/14 Chicago, IL - Lollapalooza

White Lung | 08/07/14
Fresh from touring Australia and New Zealand, White Lung are poised to release new single 'In Your Home' on August 25th before tearing up North America with a string of live dates once again. Mish Way explains the video:
"This video was created by Justin Gradin and Ben Jacques. Justin has done all our album art since our first LP so 'In Your Home' is funny, demented and uncomfortable, it's perfect. The star of the video is my dear friend Christina Kenton who pushes the baby cart and smiles at the end. She's an incredible artist herself. This video is filled with people way more talented than the four of us."
Watch the new video for 'In Your Home' below.
Deep Fantasy is their third full length and proves White Lung to be every bit as confrontational as before, but it appears that Vancouver's hard hitting rock n' roll outfit have opened their sound up just enough to draw listeners in:
"I wanted it to sound more like a rock record than a punk record. I didn't want to lose any of the speed and aggression that we have, but I wanted more melodies," says Way, "But it's still a really hard record."
Way is more provocative and melodic than ever on Deep Fantasy, lyrically surveying addiction ("Drown With the Monster"), body dysmorphia ("Snake Jaw") and sexual dynamics ("Down It Goes,") amongst other dinner table topics. Guitarist Kenneth William, a devotee of Johnny Marr "plays with the speed of an 80s hardcore dude" whirled in Anne-Marie Vassiliou's relentless and seemingly effortless approach to drumming.
Mish compiled a playlist: 'Songs That Inspired Deep Fantasy', listen HERE
Deep Fantasy is available to buy now from Dom Mart HERE and through iTunes HERE

Austra | 03/07/14
Toronto-based Austra have shared a video for Hulluu, directed by Zeesy Powers and featuring choreography and dancing from Emily Law.
Hulluu is the last track on Habitat, a brand-new four-track EP which is out now. Order the limited-edition hand-numbered 12" here from Austra or download from iTunes.
Katie Stelmanis from Austra said the following about the video:
'I knew that I wanted the video for Hulluu to focus on movement. I've known Emily since I was 12 and she is the best dancer/waacker in Toronto so I definitely wanted her to be a part of it. Zeesy is a super-talented artist who I used to live with and collaborate with all the time making soundtracks for her performance art pieces (and who was actually the one to encourage me to start performing my own music in the first place). I thought it would be cool to work together again. We used a green screen and filmed Emily dancing to the track for about 4 hours.
In director Powers' words: "The spirit self is unleashed in the nightclub in your mind. The beat hits and time stops, speeds up, slows down. On the dance floor do you compete with others or only yourself? True freedom fills the body with what we have been, are, and could be. Shedding psychic bodies reveals the person always there. Move."
The band recently completed US west coast dates with Chvrches after having performed at Coachella and Sasquatch and have upcoming festivals in Canada and Europe including a show at Oval Space in London on 10th July. The band has also announced North American dates supporting Broken Bells. Full dates are below.
"'Habitat' is an old song that we've waited almost three years to release," says the band's Katie Stelmanis. "It didn't seem to fit with the sounds of Feel it Break or Olympia, so we decided to finally put it out as a single along with 3 new instrumental tracks.There's a lot of live versions of the song online but people have always pressed us to make a proper recording, so we are especially excited to announce these limited-edition physical copies of the EP. It's a euro-style computer music experiment produced with love from me, Maya, and Dorian."

07-03 Pontevedra, ES - Festival Do Norte Isla De Arosa

Jacksonville Daily Progress
Local resident Stephen Hutson dedicated 16 years to his country, serving in active and reserve duty as a corporal in the United States Marine Corps.
Now, he is focusing his energy on helping fellow veterans find ways to make a difference in Cherokee County.
Hutson serves as the Junior Vice Commandant of the Marine Corps League Detachment 1381, the group who collects items locally for the national Marine Corps Reserve "Toys for Tots" campaign as well as provides an honor guard for military funerals and color guards for civic events.
"It's not about me, it's about helping others," he said.
Hutson is among the current generation of a family rich in military service tradition: An uncle many generations removed fought in the Revolutionary War, while closer to home, a "seventh or eighth grandfather" fought in the Battle of the Alamo. One of his sons, now an officer for the Tyler Police Department, served in the Marines, upholding that tradition.
"It's kind of a family tradition thing, passed from generation to generation. It's not something I have to do, it's something I need to do. We're just a patriotic family," he said, adding this helped form a mindset geared toward service.
"This is the least you can do for your country. It's like John F. Kennedy said: It's not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. A lot of people think of 'I' and 'me' too much, they need to think about what's better for 'us'?" he said.
Hutson joined the Marines after graduating from high school in 1982, and was assigned to tours in California, North Carolina, Honduras, Australia, the Philippines and the middle East, where he took part in Operation Desert Storm.
Helping create an awareness of veterans' needs in a rural area of the state is at the forefront of his mind, because, as a vet injured while serving in Desert Storm, he understands first-hand the importance of doing so.
"They've earned (the support), there's no question about it," he said, adding that groups like the Lone Star Military Resource Group, coordinated by veterans advocate Julianne Sanford, are a step in the right direction.
"I think it's been really positive, because it's bringing a lot more awareness of our veterans' needs in East Texas," he said. "They bring awareness to our community that there are veterans living here, and these folks are an asset to the community because they have a lot of knowledge – many have seen and done things that a lot of people (haven't), so they help enlighten and educate the community. Plus they still willing to serve the community."
LSMRG acts as a clearing house of information for veterans seeking assistance. The group recently organized a veterans and first responders appreciation event in Bullard that also gave vets the opportunity to learn more about what services are available to them.
Hutson said he participates in the group's military farming project, which "teaches vets how to farm – farming is not just raising crops, it can be cattle or sheep or goats, or even bees.
"I'm a beekeeper, and I've been teaching some of the veterans how to keep bees, and we've been teaching them farming techniques, about raising gardens and setting up outside as farmer's markets in Jacksonville and Rusk," he said.
His involvement with the Marine Corps League began several years ago after learning about the group while waiting to welcome his son home at a regional airport.
"My oldest boy was coming back from Iraq and I called the Welcome Home Service group in Tyler and they greeted him at Tyler Pounds Field. One of the men there walked up and asked, 'are you a member of the Marine Corps League,' because I had my Marine Corp stuff on. I said, 'No, what's that?' because I didn't know such a group group existence," he recalled.
Today, his is a familiar face during the holiday season as he visits different drop-off sites for the Toys for Tots campaign, a responsibility he oversees joyfully.
"When it comes to kids, all military are big-hearted – there's a special place in our hearts for them," he smiled.
Recently, the local detachment also created the Ellis Warrior Fund, a local effort of the league's Wounded Marine Project that helps veterans recuperating from injury. Funds benefit the Warrior and Family Support Center in San Antonio, where local Marine Eric Ellis received treatment after being wounded by an improvised explosive device while serving in Afghanistan.
"There was a need – someone from the group found out about it and said, 'Let's help'," Hutson said, adding that these types of events serve as a wake-up call to the community to not only remember those who have been killed, "but (wounded troops) trying to make that recovery and come back into society."
Pausing, he added, "Really, thats what the Marine Corps League and the Lone Star Military (group) are trying to do: Bring the rural community's attention to veterans and give them recognition. Let's not overlook them, they're an asset to us."
Men and women who serve the military "are the President's own, who go anywhere in the world where the President asks. They're dedicated," he said.
"I tell people that a veteran is someone who has signed a blank check to his government, (offering) everything, from his life down. It's someone who is willing to give up their life for their country and their people. And that's what keeps our country free and strong: Our young men and women are volunteering for our military, putting their lives on the line for us. They lose a hand for us. And that speaks volumes to me," Hutson said.

Perhaps no scripture is more familiar than the 23rd Psalm to most of us and yet, like anything we know well, we tend to spend little time truly thinking about it. The "Lord is my shepherd" offers us a great deal to think about, to understand and accept. Join us as we visit a familiar text, but look at it with fresh eyes.
This is "Back to Church" Sunday and we invite you to join us. If you are searching for a place to worship, then come and visit the small and friendly time of worship at First Congregational Church. Our church family is filled with sinners and saints and we welcome you to join us. This is also our Rally in the Park Sunday/Annual Church Picnic. After the 10:30 service, we will move to Deming Park, Ute Shelter, and enjoy hamburgers, hot dogs and all the sides and desserts we can eat. This Sunday only, we are having a combined worship service at 10:30 and there will be no 8:30 service. We return to our regular schedule next week.
First Congregational Church is a member of the National and Midwest Associations of Congregational Christian Churches, founded on the principles of "Faith, Freedom & Fellowship." We believe that we can put those principles into action by welcoming everyone into the fellowship of this church family and by serving God, through Christ, in our community and the world. There's a place here for you. You can find us online at www.FirstChurchTH.org or on Facebook.
Grace Community
Jesus called His disciples to follow to the very end, even when things are difficult. Even when persecuted, they followed. This Sunday we will look at how disciples can run to the finish line, and how God's grace gives us endurance.
Sept. 22 we will celebrate the Christian Music history of the USA. It is followed by a picnic that is open to all. Our worship begins at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday. Each Sunday we have Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. for people of all ages.
Our worship is a contemporary/traditional mix and led by top notch musicians.
You will find warm and friendly people here. They are the kind of people who will be happy to meet you and sit with you. If you need a prayer, use www.prayfor
We meet in the Gospel Assembly Church, 401 W Springhill Drive in Terre Haute. It is just west of DeBaun's Funeral home on north side of the street. Come in the east door where all the cars are. For more information visit www.gccth.org or call 217-251-4507.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown has about a month to decide whether to release a former follower of notorious killer Charles Manson from prison.
Bruce Davis, 70, has been behind bars since 1970, convicted with Manson of the murder of a musician and a stuntman. He was not involved in the Manson family's infamous 1969 slayings of Sharon Tate and four others in a Benedict Canyon home.

The information on the page was posted during a 2011-12 search for a president of Dordt College. On April 20, 2012, the Board of Trustees named Dr. Erik Hoekstra the fourth president of Dordt College.
The next president of Dordt College will have an opportunity to build on the school's strong heritage and further advance its mission and vision. The president will assume leadership of a remarkably healthy school. Throughout its history, Dordt College has benefited from a loyal and committed constituency. With God's blessing and constituent support, along with fiscally responsible leadership, Dordt College has been able to maintain its healthy financial position. Dordt College is owned and controlled by an incorporated society composed primarily of members of the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA). It is governed by the 30-member Board of Trustees, which is composed of geographically selected CRCNA representatives and at-large representatives from the broader Reformed evangelical community.
The Position
The president of Dordt College serves as the senior executive, having and exercising overall leadership for the school. The following positions report to the president:
- Provost
- Executive Secretary to the President
- Vice President of Business Affairs
- Vice President for Advancement
- Vice President of Student Services
- Executive Director of Admissions
- Assistant to the President & Director of International Students and Off-Campus Programs
- KDCR Radio Director
The Dynamic Opportunities of the Presidency
The President of Dordt College has the opportunity to influence the lives of thousands of students through three interconnected areas of leadership: institutional, academic, and missional and spiritual.
Institutional leadership refers to the strategic, administrative, and financial aspects of operating the institution. The President must have the visionary ability to make strategic decisions, looking beyond the present into the future. The President must build a highly effective administrative team. She or he must also have competence in the strategic allocation of financial resources, coupled with a demonstrated ability in developing relationships and alliances that lead to significant contributions to the college.
Academic leadership refers to the promotion of scholastic excellence and rigor. In the ever-changing world of higher education, the President, in collaboration with the Administrative Cabinet, must continually evaluate the academic programs offered. The President should understand the nuances of Reformed, Christ-centered higher education. To exercise this leadership, the President should have appropriate academic credentials and a record of visionary leadership.
Missional and spiritual leadership refers to the President's responsibility and commitment to protect the mission and champion the vision of the college. The President must have a deep understanding of and passionate commitment to Dordt College, constantly developing, guarding, and promoting its mission. We seek a President who is personally committed to Jesus Christ, who models the life of a disciple, and who sets the spiritual tone for the campus.
These three dimensions are essential to effective leadership at Dordt College.
Professional/Personal Qualifications
We seek a President with character and integrity, a leader who exhibits the Fruit of the Spirit and walks closely with God. The President must have a true heart for God's Word and for his people. Leading by example, the President will encourage the Dordt community to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. The President will act as a servant leader while seeking and respecting the gifts and abilities of others.
A gifted visionary, the next President will cast and communicate a vision for the future while securing support from the Dordt community. Excellent communication between the President and the college's constituent groups is essential. The President must be a strong writer, adept at public speaking, and effective at interpersonal communication—understanding social media as a means of communication.
Relationships are integral to success in the presidential role. We seek a President who understands, cultivates, and works within historical community relationships – both locally and farther afield. The President must be a keen listener, developing and maintaining healthy relationships with students, faculty, and staff, as well as with longstanding and new constituent groups.
The ideal candidate will have teaching experience at the college or university level. While historically those serving as President of Dordt College have been ordained clergy, this is not a requirement for our fourth President. We seek an individual who is committed to our mission and who has a passion to serve and support the faculty and students and lead them toward increasingly higher levels of scholarship and academic excellence.
The changing landscape of Christ-centered higher education demands creative leadership. The ideal candidate will foster a culture of innovation at Dordt by hiring people who think creatively, by building a leadership team diverse in talent, and by understanding the giftedness of individuals and enabling them to contribute effectively and innovatively to advance the mission and well-being the college.
The President lives in the tension created by needing to be accessible, visible, and relational while maintaining an active travel schedule promoting the mission and vision of Dordt College, giving adequate administrative leadership, and devoting time to be alone with God.
The Opportunity/Challenge
The President, building on the strengths of Dordt College, will be challenged to:
- Strive continually for higher academic rigor while serving a student population varied in academic abilities;
- Increase the diversity of the campus community;
- Uphold our commitment to affordability;
- Sustain a growth curve in enrollment without outstripping capacity; and
- Recruit faculty consistent with the ethos of the college.
The presidency of Dordt College is a great opportunity for the person who is passionate about its mission and vision and motivated in the following areas:
- Rallying all constituencies around the mission and catalyzing participation in specific improvements, new programs, and financial advancements; emphasizing steady growth with far-reaching effects.
- Expanding Dordt's reputation at the national and international level; increasing the international student population, and partnering with other like-minded organizations to further Dordt's mission and vision.
- Continuing to expand Dordt's mission and name recognition beyond the traditional Reformed constituencies.
- Building and equipping a team of senior leaders who are highly relational and yet accountable and results-oriented; positioning the right people in the right positions.
- Leading big decisions regarding vision, senior staffing, and risk management—while delegating the details and following through in order to secure specific and ever-improving results.
- Building relationships; getting to know the people in the various constituency groups.
- Continuing to modernize an already picturesque campus; capitalizing on the growth of the science program to build a state-of-the-art classroom and laboratory facility.
- Working in partnership with the Board of Trustees, who value a true leadership collaboration with the President.
Dordt's Mission
As an institution of higher education committed to the Reformed Christian perspective, the mission of Dordt College is to equip students, alumni, and the broader community to work effectively toward Christ-centered renewal in all aspects of contemporary life.
Our next president, with God's help, will have the opportunity to advance the mission of Dordt College. It will be essential for the President to embrace and clearly articulate the Reformed Christian perspective and to commit wholeheartedly to the task of equipping the Dordt College community to work effectively toward Christ-centered renewal. Central to the mission are:
Reformed Christian perspective. The vision and programs of Dordt College are firmly and intentionally grounded in a comprehensive kingdom perspective. By this we mean that Scripture and creation reveal a sovereign God, that all things are under his control and find their goal and purpose in his glory, and that the creation is his kingdom. Even though human disobedience has greatly disrupted our world, we are confident that God, with his Word of grace, reclaims his world through the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. Through faith in Christ, we are restored to covenantal fellowship with God.
Equipping students, alumni, and the broader community to work effectively toward Christ-centered renewal. We believe that God created us in his image to "cultivate" creation by caring for its well-being and developing its potential. Because Christ rescued the creation from the curse of sin and reigns as king over it, we, his imagebearers and redeemed children, have work to do. We seek to transform culture and bring shalom to a broken world. Our task at Dordt College is to equip students to become insightful, obedient, and active servants in God's world, working for the expression of his kingdom everywhere.
Dordt's History
Dordt College is infused with the energy and excitement of an institution that is still young and the confidence of an institution that is already well-established. Through God's blessing and the hard work of his servants dedicated to Christian higher education, Dordt has grown from the small beginnings of 5 faculty members, 35 students, and one building, to a vibrant institution of 80 faculty and over 1,400 students living and learning on a modern, well-equipped 115-acre campus.
Dordt College began in 1953 as Midwest Christian Junior College. The impetus for a new college was primarily the need for qualified teachers for Christian day schools in the area. When doors opened in 1955, the 35 students and five faculty members held classes in a new four-classroom building set on a former mink farm and surrounded by fields of crops. Around the time the institution became a four-year college, its name was changed to Dordt College in honor of the historic Reformed synod held in Dordtrecht, the Netherlands, in 1618-1619, a synod which emphasized the sovereignty of God through his electing grace.
Over the past six decades, Dordt's remarkable growth in size, offerings, and reputation has led us to exclaim in humble amazement, "What hath God wrought!" Dordt's first four-year B.A. degrees were awarded to a graduating class of 58 in 1965. The college grew rapidly in the '60s and '70s, with enrollment climbing above 1,200. During this time the faculty grew as well; many faculty members, intending to teach here only a few years, became thoroughly committed to the college mission and remained for their entire careers. The initial faculty of five has grown to eighty.
Although the initial academic emphasis was on teacher education, Dordt has greatly expanded its offerings to include programs in such diverse areas as agriculture, engineering, social work, criminal justice, biotechnology, international business, and theatre management. Dordt College is not only preparing students to serve in a wide variety of careers and occupations, but also to understand those fields as under God's sovereignty and important in his Kingdom.
Dordt's three presidents have provided leadership and commitment to a distinct vision for Christian higher education. Rev. B.J. Haan, who served from Dordt's founding until 1982, worked tirelessly to lay the foundation that is today more clearly articulated in "The Educational Task of Dordt College." Dr. J.B. Hulst, a founder and early dean of students, was as ardently committed to that vision as his predecessor and supervised the development of a strategic plan for the future of the college, titled "Renewing the Vision." Dr. Carl E. Zylstra, the first non-founder president, presented as his inaugural theme in 1996 "Living the Vision," urging faculty and students to make the continuing educational vision concrete in their teaching, learning, and living.
Our fourth president will be privileged to serve a flourishing and stable Christian college, leading it forward on the basis of a strong foundation and clear vision as we continue to serve our students, our supporting constituency, and the broader Christian community.
Dordt's Distinctives
Dordt College seeks to provide a holistic learning community in which classroom and other educational activities work hand-in-hand with every other aspect of a student's experience.
A kingdom perspective is integral to the curriculum. Dordt's curriculum, which is founded upon and guided by The Educational Task of Dordt College, is designed to help students develop Christian insight within a four-point framework:
- Religious orientation—knowing what we and others believe; acknowledging that the whole world belongs to God.
- Creational structure—understanding that God made the world as an interconnected whole, obedient and subject to his laws.
- Cultural development—knowing how our world developed and that everything we do affects the world for good or for evil.
- Contemporary response—translating what we learn into thoughts and actions that will help us live and work in the world as Christ's disciples.
Dordt's core curriculum provides a foundation of history, philosophy, theology, and communication skills. Other core courses in language and the arts, the natural sciences, and the social sciences provide a broad context for more specialized studies. Majors, accredited pre-professional programs, and a master's program provide in-depth insight into the nature and demands of a variety of vocations and professions. A capstone course helps students apply the four themes of the Educational Framework to contemporary issues as they move from the academic setting into a larger world.
Dordt College is also attentive to the ways in which classroom learning is enhanced by structured educational experiences outside the classroom. The curriculum includes a cross-cultural component that requires students to explore another culture, either through course work, study abroad, or volunteer service. In addition, Dordt College has encouraged faculty to develop service-learning opportunities, which combine reading and research with planning and executing a related service project, followed by active reflection on the activities and outcomes of that project.
Dordt College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. In addition, the social work, engineering, education and nursing programs are accredited by their respective professional organizations.
About 85 percent of Dordt College students live on campus. The Dordt College experience includes much more than the time students spend in the classroom or in other curricular activities. The non-curricular aspects of college life play a vital role in implementing the educational task of Dordt College. Because of that integral role, we use the term "co-curricular" to describe the wide range of activities we provide that develop and enhance what is taught in the curriculum. The college works to foster an attitude of service and loving obedience by planning social and devotional activities as well as community-building and service projects. Such activities are not considered mere additions to the academic task, but a critical part of developing serviceable Christian insight.

Have there been other times Judy when most members go quiet? This is the first time this year that I've seen this. Usually this place is so hopping. Laura is showing up regularly but not a lot of others. Yea Laura! And yea You!
Greedily she ingorg'd without restraint,
And knew not eating Death
Milton, Paradise Lost
Finally making a lentil/veggie soup. Not sure what all I will end up having in it. I only have a few veggies, but I would still like my onions cut and my red bell pepper cut. I have a can of diced tomatoes and celery sticks to wash and cut, too. When I went shopping, by the time I got to the fruit/veggie section I was too tired to think a whole lot about it so may end up buying a few other things today, but I am still going to keep it simple overall. The bell pepper is for my scrambled tofu and not the soup.
So, for the soup: Lentils, tomatoes, celery, spinach, onion, garlic, uhh....maybe will pick up zucchini squash and green beans...
maybe Laura will pop in .. could be some are decorating for Halloween .. I don;t do any decorating for Halloween My hubby puts a lighted pumpkin in the front window that's about it.
Hugs Judy

I have been keeping my right arm elevated most of the time. Right now it's not hurting, so here goes.
new low weight today 206.6
I am re reading "Why We Get Fat" and learning some things I had either missed or forgotten. My eating is a balancing act. Enough whole grains to be regular. Not enough fat to upset my gut. Enough veg to fill me up. Not too much fruit for my blood sugar. It's a very narrow path. I have been inching up on my grain consumption the last couple of weeks and it was hurting my weight loss. I am going to cut my carb intake. Especially my oatmeal and blackberry breakfast (45 GRAMS!!). It's hard right now with my right arm mostly out of commission.
Judy, I was wondering why you weigh 150. Your calorie count wouldn't seem to support such a high weight. Could you have a simple carb problem like me?
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.-Philippians 4:13
Isn't that awful when those munchies hit you? I have been having a problem with that lately. All I have been able to do is measure and gradually reduce my portion size.
I started at 1 ounce of tostitos. 26 grams of carbs. Yikes. That's as much as I should have in a meal.
But at least it was less than I had been having. I have gone to weight measurements for the most part, because volume is problematic for solids.
I just had the munchies before signing on. I weighed out 1/2 ounce of tostitos. Wah! But I stopped there.
Abby, I am glad you are getting better. Broken bones are miserable.
I am using my time well without my arm by reading about weight loss and diet. I hope to hit the ground running when my problem is under control.
Love, to all

Baby steps, to a healthy lifestyle change. When you change your thoughts you will then change your weight. Getting healthy is about progress, not perfection.
My Hubby is hard of hearing and it is so frustrating to try to talk with him about anything . I have sort of dark spot right over the stove and countertop in the kitchen and the makeshift light we put there to light the area no longer works . he went out to get a new one came back with a grow light for plants . I told him it was the wrong light he said a light is a light and installed it anyway turned it on and the light was blue then he knew I was right .. so I go with him to the store I choose a 24 inch light he insists on the 18 inch light he installs and it is a lovely warm glow but doesn't do the job of lighting the whole area ...He claims the one I wanted didn;t have the part to connect to to the cabinet because it was wrapped up so you cannot see that part I try to rationalize with him that they are all under cabinet lights and should all have someway of installing it . all that yelling wore me out ...I wasn;t yelling because I was mad I was yelling because otherwise he can't hear me . after all the yelling I did get angry I wasn;t getting thru
a vicious circle to be sure ..
My Dinner was
4.6 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1/3 C brown rice
1/5 c mushrooms
1 1/2 cooked spinach
1/2 pat butter
Side salad
with mixed greens 3 slice cuke 1 large radish 1 small tomato 1/4 bell pepper yellow 5 black olives 1 T wishbone robusto dressing
1 C green tea
1 slice banana bread
my yogurt and raspberries
then I had 1 1/2 Oz mango dried 3 apricots 2 prunes
My calories were only 1400 altogether but the stress of trying to get through to hubby wrecked my sleep and I woke up starved to realize that when I went shopping yesterday I forgot to buy oranges so out I go again today to pick up what I forgot yesterday

Remember the Gold is not in the prize it's in the Journey
life may not be the Party we expected but while we are here we may as well dance
Most days I get in 1500 cals that seems to maintain my weight around 150 ish some days are higher some lower /
I do avoid things like chips bread and things that are full of those not so good carbs and limit things like potatoes and rice
I don;t have any health problems with the exception of my eyes and the plan I live by is designed, to support those eyes
that's why the rainbow is good it really supports health all over the body /
I am assuming some of the things I count I could be wrong and they could contain more calories than I think so I might be getting 1600 calories when I think I am getting 1500
counting calories is difficult because our perception of what a serving size is variable that's why I started weighing all the fruits meat and nuts I also weight the potato and sweet potato too ..I recently began weight my dried mangos
Yesterday I had trouble getting al my calories in because of that shouting I did with hubby I explained that in a post to Laura
