Chrissy, I want to apologize in advance for pointing Bobbie to online recipes for fake blood. Don't let her fool you. ;)
Bobbie is a trip. She's completely opposite of Jesi...Jesi is the chef/baker girl, but she doesn't give a fig about academics. She loves culinary arts and technology classes though and does very well in those. It amazes me because they share genes and had the exact same parenting/economic background but they're complete opposites. Bobbie is more mild mannered and soft spoken. Jesi is loud, outgoing, and a prankster. Both are deeply compassionate though.
My 2 boys are only young but I can already see that they are very different personality-wise. Travis is academic and quiet. Cash is a dare devil and very, very loud. It is crazy how different family can be!
The job is going really really well. And I got good news today as well. The government is going to pay for a big part of our childcare costs, so I will actually have some money to spend out of every paycheck! I have all sorts that I want to save up for including a trip back to Arkansas and a new car. LOL. We'll definitely have enough to have a mini vacation to Scotland like I've always wanted to do. Any ways, yeah, the job itself is great. I do mostly what they call interventions-working in small groups or one-to-one with kids who have Individual Education Plans. I work mostly on math and English skills. Today, I taught some kids how to simplify a fraction. It's so great to see the light bulbs click in their heads. I do little jobs for the teacher as well like making copies, laminating things, and cutting things up, but for the most part, I work with the kids 90% of the time.
Sorry I haven't had time to comment on what's going on with everyone else. I'll try to find some time this weekend to get caught up with what is going on with everyone else.
I've been reading but not commenting much as I don't feel like I have much to contribute. One thing though: Bridget, girl. Just homeschool. You are aching to do it. Savana isn't in love with school and Kai hasn't been going long enough to know. S wanted to go to school and so she now has gone for year - she doesn't like it too much anyway, right? Kai would probably be good however it works out. Just pull them out and homeschool. This from a person who has never for one minute considered homeschooling!
I went to my doctor yesterday because I need to get my thyroid levels checked. I'm still gaining weight despite being on a 1200 to 1700 calorie a day diet, working out at 3 to 5 times a week (45 to 60 mins elliptical, 3 mile runs, etc.) I'm now at my heaviest I have ever been in my life. I am going to do a 24 hour pee test to check on my adrenal system. But then my doctor mentioned something interesting: I have been getting epidural spinal injections every three months now for almost two years, as well as one steroid injection in my foot this summer. She thinks that the injections might be causing the weight gain. Interesting. It would be better than to have an out of whack adrenal system. If that is the case then I have to try to thread my way through the physical pain of my back/leg (which can make going to the grocery store an almost impossible task) vs. the mental pain and bad health of being overweight and try to figure out which one causes me more difficulty. Maybe I can depend more on pain pills and go for another two or three months without an injection to see if I can get some of this weight off before I get another injection. The pain pills make me nauseous, but if I take them with a bite of something it helps a little bit. Anyway, it's given me something to ponder.

Ash, yay for getting some of your expenses covered by the government! Yes, definitely do something fun with the extra cash. (I can't remember... does "cash" mean money in the U.K. the way it does here? I can't remember people using it while I lived there, but that was nearly 20 yrs ago.)
Katy, that's a tough decision. I can't remember what is the cause of your leg pain again, but it sounds pretty severe. I hope you can find an alternative to the injections, just so you can give yourself some time to figure out if they're the cause of your unexplained gain. You said you already tried acupuncture, if I remember correctly. I'm sorry that your situation is very frustrating. I would feel exactly the same way.
Bridget, I think Katy gave some good advice. Homeschooling is always a very good option for you to seriously consider, especially for you, as you are so wonderful with your kids.
Erin, if you won't be around bees or flies while you're walking around zombified, I've used Hawaiian punch syrup as fake blood in the past. It's a mess, but very convincing.
Thanks, Myles. My leg pain is from spondylolisthesis in my spine. Basically the two little wings on either side of a vertebra have broken off and so there is nothing holding one vertebra on top of the other except my spinal column, my muscles and probably just habit. So one vertebra is slipping over the other and squishing the nerves that go to my legs. I have muscle weakness and burning deep pressure and pain in my lower back, hip, front of thigh and tingling and numbness down to my toes when I don't get the shots. The only cure for it is surgery, but that is a fix only for a while probably because usually after about ten years the next vertebra down the line breaks and the same thing happens all over again. I have been trying to put it off because it would be six months to full recovery and just an awful surgery (they would open me up both from the spine and from the abdomen, put a metal cage on my spine, etc.) But this just another checkmark in the "yes" column. If I did end up getting the surgery, I would probably spend more time replying to threads on here!
I am working on my mobile sites today - I have 12 to do by Monday afternoon so I am already behind schedule.
I think we are going to sell my car to pay off out credit card debt and just have one car until maybe January or February. It's actually going to work out fine I think. I really don't like my car that much. It's a Honda Element and it is just too much space for me. I much prefer driving a sedan. So we would be sharing my dh's Volvo S80, which I really really really like a lot! He is traveling almost weekly for work now and since I dropped all my classes, all my work stuff is at home - we can get along quite well without two cars for a while I think. And if we do get another one, the interest would be at a much lower rate than the credit card interest. We are still thinking about it, but I would really like to get out from under the cc debt.

Oh, and by the way Myles: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Katy, that is a tough decision regarding your pain and gain. I hope you can figure something out that will cause you minimal physical and emotional pain. It must be so tough dealing with the leg/back pain especially. My aunt has horrible osteo-arthritis and is only 50 and it is really bad for her. I wish there was a way that we could naturally take pain away as that can really suck the energy out of you.
And Bridget, I agree to just go ahead and homeschool if Savana is still having issues at school. Doesn't make sense to send her if you are up to the task. I would make sure though that she knew it was a semi-permanent thing, like if we do it, we will have to do it until she is in X grade before you will consider sending her back to regular school. Do you guys have the K12 program in your state? The homebased charter school? I know it is in Illinois because when we might have moved to Chicago, I was semi-set on Ky and Elle being schooled that way. You basically get all the supplies from them as they get federal funding that a regular school would get for your child and you also get assessments to make sure the kids are keeping up academically and I think they have meetups too with other kids/parents in the program. I thought it sounded like a great option for parents, even working parents as you can learn at any time with the program. They have it in Ohio as well and I think here in GA too.
I thought about you today because our principal sent out a message about our MAP test results being in and the comment you shared from Savana wanting to study her map. It was funny because when Ky told me he was having a MAP test, I thought it was for an actual map too and was asking him the capital of random states like New Hampshire lol. I am so slow sometimes. Ky was cracking up at me.
I've been thinking a lot about what I wrote earlier and I am of so many minds about it. I'm supposed to be packing and getting ready to leave town, but I don't want to leave while I'm mulling this over so much because I don't want to hunt and peck on my phone about it. I keep feeling like there HAS to be this happy medium, between sheltering children from all the bad things in this world (including bullies) and giving them some exposure and some tools and resources to deal with it on their own.
The OR nurses have this kind of culture where they are really mean to the new nurses coming in because they say that if they can hack that, then they will be able to handle the working environment of dealing with surgeons and stuff. I always say that's totally ridiculous--new staff should be nurtured and supported, and then I realize that it sounds like I'm saying the opposite about my own children, but I'm not. It's not an all-or-nothing. I don't want to create hostile environments, and I don't want to tolerate bullying, and I don't want to say it's okay. I just know it goes on, all the time, and I want my children to be able to talk to me and to their teachers and to each other and to the bully if appropriate and figure out ways to deal with each incident as it happens and figure out ways to better handle things in the future.
My DH, like Erin's, had some awful experiences, and never felt like his parents had his back. He was expressly forbidden to never fight back, and his mother was a teacher at his school and he thinks she was particularly clueless about what was going on. He specifically remembers one horrible time in grade school when someone said that he felt badly about how DH had been excluded, and he wanted to be friendly now. That they could play a game. DH happily followed him down to a deserted corner of the playground and then was surrounded by all the other children who took turns taunting him and jeering that he could be so gullible. He was also followed and beaten up on his way home from school, and he felt helpless and alone. These are the kinds of things that mold an adult, and even when large and handsome and smart, there is still this vulnerable picked-on little boy inside. I feel like DH had so much more going for him than I did as a child (socioeconomic class, stability, etc) and I was always the new kid and was shopping at thrift stores and had hippy luddite parents and never had a tv or microwave and barely knew who the president was. I got teased plenty about all kinds of things and once threatened to get beaten up, but for some reason they didn't seem to disable me the same way they did my dh.
I think also there is probably no good one-size-fits-all answer for this. And what may be a good strategy for one person or one child or one family may not work well for another. I can already tell that DS copes way differently with setbacks than DD. She is more resilient about some things, but more vulnerable to social shunning.
School is very difficult. The academic part is the easier part.
Katy! I'm glad to see you posting on here. I'm sorry you're still gaining the weight after all the effort you are putting in to lose it. I hope the doctors can figure it out for you...if only there were people like Dr. House from the TV show!
Bridget, I agree about the homeschooling. You seem to really want to do it and the kids love it, so why not? If I lived back in Arkansas, I'd probably sway towards home schooling my two. There's not enough wilderness out my way now for me to feel free enough to homeschool the boys. I hate hate hate seeing the bullying-side of kids at school. Unfortunately, it seems to be human nature for some people to be bullies. I mentioned a few posts ago about a boy who I felt was a mental bully to a girl who sat next to him. Well, today, the teacher moved her away from him (along with a few other kids) and I was so relieved. He's a clever little boy in some ways, but he never smiles and always seem to just be miserable no matter what. She, on the other hand, has leeched on to me and I'm her BFF. LOL. I told her that I'm everyone's best friend at school and she was like, "But, Miss, I'm your favorite and I'm your best friend forever!"
Myles, people do say 'cash' for money here but there are a lot more words as well that people use. You know what the English are like for having 50 words for the same expression. Funny you mention that, though, because those paycheck lending companies have recently started advertising on TV and there is one commercial that comes on a lot that says the word 'cash' a lot in it and any time that Travis hears it, he shouts, "They're talking to Cash on the TV!" He's so funny about the TV. He watches a show on the Disney channel about two skater boys called Zeke and Luther and they do that thing where they talk to the camera and he always says, "Mummy, these big boys are talking to ME!"
Any way. I feel like I'm rambling on now!
Ash, your job sounds great and that's fantastic you will get help with childcare costs. That can really be what breaks people.
Lol about the maps testing, Erin.
You know, I have never had anyone say to me, "Just pull them out and homeschool them." So from the bottom of my heart, thank you Katy! And Erin, Myles, Ash. Thank you. I feel like we should stick it out until Christmas like I've been telling Savana, just for consistency sake. So unless anything major happens before then, we'll continue until then. That will hopefully curb any feelings I have like we didn't give it a fair shot. We do have that program here where the public school system gives you laptops and everything along with the curriculum. I thought if we continued i'd do that when the kids were a bit older as it's all computer work and I really do want them doing more active learning.
My last thoughts on bullying are that I agree it happens into adulthood but I don't think early or frequent exposure to it makes it easier to deal with. I think it just causes more damage. Kind of like people who think making kids wait teaches patience. It just doesn't work like that, imo. The less bullying children have to deal with as young children, the less they will have for a grand total in their lives and less mean people always equals better in my mind.
Just got home for the appt for Kai. I am feeling hopeful. She gave me a list of supplements to give him like fish oil, papaya enzymes, vit d, probioitics and also to cut out dairy and eggs for six weeks. She can do a finger prick and test him for 97 different allergies for $130 but I'll have to speak to dbf about that. She also gave me some sulfer tablets (not the same as the sulfur i've been using for the maybe scabies which she thinks is eczema) to try as a homeopathic remedy. She says it may do nothing and it may fix everything. The best part of it all is she said she's going to help me figure everything out and has no doubt in her mind that it's something we can fix in less than 3 appts. I've never had a dr look at me and say, "We are going to fix this. Don't worry". That was worth my money right there.
Also, no glucose in his urine so no diabetes unless it's the rare one Suja mentioned which she brought up also and said we can look into that if what we're trying now does not work.
So glad the appointment made you hopeful regarding Kai. I hope he doesn't like milk and eggs too much. I'd be so sad without them.
In regards to the allergy testing, if your have insurance can she suggest an allergist that can do the prick test that won't be so expensive. DH had that done with our regular allergist and all we had to pay was a "specialist" fee of $25 at the time. That was when he was going through his mystery illness last year where his tongue swelled up on him in the middle of the night and kept doing it scaring the mess out of me because I'd thought he'd asphyxiate while I was asleep. It all the sudden stopped though and they said he wasn't allergic to anything via the blood test.
Oh Katy, what you described sounds utterly awful! I had no idea you were dealing with all that. I hope you can find something that alleviates the pain just long enough so you can determine if it is the injections that is contributing to your weight gain.
Bridget, I'm so happy for you that that appointment went well. It must be a HUGE relief for you since I felt a great deal of it just reading your post! I also think homeschooling is the way to go and Christmas break isn't that far off.
I just had a HUGE argument with Bobbie. She let Jesi driver her car today. By 'her' car, I mean her dad's. That I pay the car insurance for. Jesi doesn't even have her permit and they did it on a real road. I FLIPPED MY LID. Bobbie started to scream back at me that I was bullying and it pissed me off even more. She took a HUGE risk-not only of Jesi wrecking and causing someone injury, but of getting caught, having the car impounded, Jesi not being eligible for a permit till she's 21 and Bobbie actually losing her licence. If she had hit someone else, it could easily have been 1,000s of dollars for me. I had every right to be angry. I'm still furious. And I told her she must get her own insurance and until she does she can only use that car to go to work and back and she CANNOT have any passengers with her. Between that and the 3 accidents she's had, I cannot continue to carry car insurance for her.
Wow Chrissy, you are nice after her 3 accidents to still have her on your insurance. My brother was a similar driver as her, the youngest brother who is the only one that isn't...I guess the description is weird and overly dramatical lol, but he was a HORRIBLE young driver. He literally had about 10 accidents in a two year period, one of which, he ran my mom's car into her own house. It wasn't even snowing or raining or anything, he just wasn't paying attention. He never listened to her or any of us when we told him to pay attention with his driving and not overreact. She dropped him off her insurance the day after his second accident. He actually hit someone on the freeway, rear ended them and they spun off the road. Luckily no one was hurt but he actually told the lady that if she hadn't been driving under the speed limit it wouldn't have happened. He was 19 or 20 then. He will be 23 in Nov and hasn't had an accident in a year now so my mom thinks he has finally stopped being accident prone.
So happy nothing happened. I would be really afraid of her driving around a car insured by me.
Officially, she's only had 1 fender bender in the supermarket parking lot, but she's hit 2 deer. I know I'm gonna hit one because I keep saying this, but in 20+ years of driving, I haven't hit one yet. Rich has hit 2 in 20+ years of driving. She's only been licensed a few months! When I told her she should drive slower when it's foggy out she said she was. She was doing 50. In a 55. It was early morning and the fog was quite dense. She should have been doing 40-45. AND she should have locked the brakes up (smashed them hard). She didn't. She simply 'tried to slow down' more.
Because we're in a rural area, I'm not as upset about her hitting deer as I am about her letting Jesi drive. It makes me wonder who else she let drive that car. She's not showing any good judgement at all. Not with having access to a car anyway. I expected better of her.
Holy crap, Chrissy. I would be irate too. You hit the nail on the head when you say she is showing poor judgement. That's the biggest issue here. Driving comes with a lot of responsibility.
Erin, I wonder if this test is different? I did tell her that cost was a big factor for us and she said that the allergy tests costs them that much, they don't make a profit at all. She actually offered to send the kit home with me at no cost and we could do it ourselves if I thought Kai would be more comfortable with us pricking his finger and then send it in to the company and pay at that point.
I'm actually a little pissed right now because at dbf's request I called our pedi's office to request an allergy test for at least the most common allergens since our insurance would cover that and it would be great to know about the dairy and eggs. That's going to be really hard! I mean BUTTER??? Come on! lol
Anyway, I spoke to the nurse and she said that Dr. C wants me to keep a food journal. I told her I really feel we are past that point, and I am quite sure he is allergic to something and I'd like the allergy panel done. She said she'd call me back. She called back and said Dr. C says they aren't going to just blindly do testing at my request for no apparent reason. Wha???? Ok well that just makes me happy I went elsewhere. I just don't know how we will continue to afford this. We will figure out a way I am sure.
Bridget, I would call, insist on talking to the doctor yourself, and explain what your 'no apparent reason' is, exactly. And maybe use some colorful language while I'm at it. I've got steam coming out my ears, just thinking about the nerve of that guy.
I know! I'm sad because because he's been the best so far. I really like him. Anyway, my dad called today to see how the appt went and said not to hesitate on anything because of money. He'll help us out. Dbf is just always worried about money and he's skeptical of the homeopathic remedies. I don't blame him for that. But I am relieved that my dad will be there if we need it, although I think we can cut back on things to make it work.
Isn't he, though? I just feel eternally grateful for him.
Kai's teacher came outside with Savana today to find me to see how the appt went. I thought that was so sweet. Then tonight she emailed me from her personal email saying, "I hope you don't mind that I email you from home..." and she gave me a bunch of advice and info on preparing meals dairy and egg free. I thought that was incredibly kind. It's her friday night and she's thinking of Kai. That really touched me.
Chrissy, are the kids feeling better?
Now why didn't you end up with someone more like your father? Isn't that what they say? Little girls grow up to marry their dads? You're proof that doesn't happen.
Kai's teacher is a sweetheart.
All the kids are feeling better. Poor Jesi had a migraine all night. Bobbie was feeling like throwing up last night, but she's been experiencing that a lot whenever she rides in a car. Even if she's driving. I wonder if it's a side effect of her medication? Even though I told her she was only to take her car to work & back until she gets her own insurance, she took it anyway. My brother saw her at the grocery store and her headlight is out from where she hit the deer the other night. She's going to get a ticket. Rich was telling me tonight that he's been telling her for 2 weeks now she needs to buy a wheel bearing. She's driving 30 miles one way to work and if that goes, her wheel can fall off. I've had it happen to me. She hasn't done it yet. I'm really aggravated with her right now.
Conner & Syd both have stuffy noses. Conner has said his throat feels better, but then it feels sore again. He's actually eaten a little (a piece of bbq chicken and a small piece of cake) which is more than he had yesterday. His fever seems to be gone, although he's laying on the couch watching movies and that's not like him. Syd had me ripping her DVDs and converting them to a format that will enable her to play them on her iPod. I'm not an audio/video person, so this was all new ground for me. I can't say I'm a fan. Apple makes it quite the pain. It makes no logical sense to me.
There are some pics on FB. One I'd LOVE to use of me & Jesi as a profile pic but I can't. Not only is Rich in it, but he's reaching as hard as he can around Jesi to also put his arm around me. He's always insisting on hugging me and telling me he loves me. He's going to make me be mean again and I hate that. I don't like him touching me though. I have zero desire in working things out and I really don't see myself ever going back. But I like how we get along when he's trying. Is that awful? I feel awful.

Lets face it, food is a great way to get to know someone. Spark up a great conversation and get to know where someone else is coming from. Know their perspective. And that's exactly what Detroit Harmonie is trying to do.
Marlowe Stoudamire with Detroit Harmonie said, "when you look at Detroit right now you think about the tale of two cities that some people are trying to paint. What we're trying to do is break down those barriers."
And nothing breaks barriers better than breaking bread. This is Detroit Harmonie's monthly 'Taste of the World' dinner at Colors in Downtown Detroit. Every dinner showcases a different cuisine and a new group of people, coming together for dinner and conversation.
"You could have a barber from the east side of Detroit in his 20's sitting next to a 60-year old Jewish guy having fun. They could talk about politics, sports, they could talk about rebuilding Detroit. But the most important thing is that they're talking. That's what we want to express," Stoudamire said.
And that's exactly what Detroit Harmonie is all about. And now their taking their mission to another level with a very unique contest. Jordan Wolfe is one of Detroit Harmonie's founders.
"We're asking the local chef to reimagine the classic Coney Island dish," Wolfe said.
Putting their own ethnic spin on a dish as iconic as the city it represents. 5 finalists will get a chance to share their Coney with about 800 people and compete for a shot at
$10,000 dollars.
Wolfe said, "we're entering a new era for Detroit and we thought it would be great to see how we could reimagine the Coney dog. Just as so many are reimagining and reinventing this city.
"Once we start realizing that we're all in the same boat we can start working better together," Stoudamire said.
If you have a great idea for a new Coney Island dish you have until this Friday, Feb 8 to enter the contest.

SAM ADAMS: After a day crammed with football on Tuesday's Media Day, I'm taking Wednesday as a football-free day. I know, I know... how dare I speak such words in New York/New Jersey the week of Super Bowl XLVIII! But c'mon, unless Richard Sherman says he's a better quarterback than Peyton Manning (don't you EVER talk about me!!!!), it's going to be an uneventful next couple of days out of Seahawks camp.
So we did the tourist thing instead this morning. Our enterprise photographer, Josh Godfrey, and I took a short cab drive to the other end of Times Square. Which reminds me, we encountered our first rude New Yorker! I was starting to get worried. The cab driver was ruder than a former Sports Illustrated columnist, shaking his head that we were taking such a short cab ride. Hey, buddy... you try lugging 100 pounds of gear in 20 degree weather, and then come back to me. $6 and ten blocks later, we arrived at Madame Tussaud's, a wax museum in NYC. Carly was our expert guide and led us on a tour of the world's finest wax figures. If you've never been, you've got to check it out. The wax sculptures are eerily realistic. Carly says these life-size statues cost more than $200,000 to craft! Our live shot for the morning show featured the sports room, which houses figures of Joe Montana, Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, and Yao Ming among others. Sorry guys, no Russell Wilson or Marshawn Lynch. After our live shot, Carly was kind enough to take me on a private tour where we saw all the greatest hits... Nelson Mandela, George Clooney, Brangelina... the list goes on and on. But Bruce Willis had to be my favorite. Us bald brothers gotta stick together!
Next door, Claudio took us on a similar tour of Ripley's: Believe It Or Not! Another must-see in Times Square, this place has everything. A stuffed albino giraffe (one of three in the world, Claudio tells me). A painting of the Last Supper made entirely of spider webs (because, you know, art just isn't the same without the use of spider webs). And my personal favorite... pickled heads in jars. There's even a glass window for you to pose so your head can be in the jar. Yum!
We wrapped up our morning with a jog across the street a souvenir shop, where we did some shopping live on the AM Show for our KHQ anchors, Shelly, Kalae, and Blake. Blake got a New York license plate with his name on it. Unfortunately, there was no "Kalae" in the license plates, so we got her a small snowglobe. And for Shelly, a New York Firefighters Pin-Up Calendar, of course!
Our day's just getting started. We're back to work with a stadium security press conference early in the afternoon, to see just how New Jersey and the NFL are keeping folks safe at East Rutherford's MetLife Stadium. Stay safe back home! It sounds like it's dumping snow back there, though it's not exactly sunshine and rainbows here in New York with temperatures in the teens.

Are Amazing Grass products Gluten Free?
Yes, Amazing Grass products are gluten free. Our cereal grasses are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten is present. We test for gluten and our products are enjoyed by people worldwide with gluten free diets including celiac disease. Please note, our Energy Bars are manufactured in a plant that processes wheat, milk, eggs, soy, peanuts and tree nuts.
What is the ORAC of our Green SuperFood?
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods. There are many things to consider when looking at the nutritional value of a product including; vitamins, minerals, enzymes, alkalinity and of course phytochemicals. Phytochemicals can support antioxidant protection, hormonal action, stimulation of enzymes, anti-bacterial effects and interference with DNA replication. Essentially they can help protect your body from diseases and cancer mutations.
In addition to providing an abundance of whole food nutritional benefits, our Green SuperFood is also very high in antioxidants. One 8 gram serving has an ORAC score of 2900. One ounce would equate to approx 10,200.
What do Amazing Grass products do for me?
Life's daily functions, such as digestion, stress, exercise, and the consumption of processed foods, coffee or alcohol all form acid. When your body's pH is in the acidic range, it retains water to dilute the acidity and stores fat to protect the body's organs from the acidity.
Amazing Grass wheat and barley grass has a high alkalizing effect, which helps restore the balance between acidity and alkalinity in our body. Most processed foods are acidic, and when we consume too many of them, the acidity-alkalinity balance is upset. Our cells cannot effectively function if our body is out of balance. Prolonged acidity can lead to stress of our body's cells and organs and ultimately may lead to illness and disease. Cleansing and detoxifying our body will balance the acidity-alkalinity ratio resulting in rejuvenated cellular activity. After our body's pH levels are balanced, you will notice an increase in energy, stamina and less need for sleep. Consuming Amazing Grass may also lead to a decreased craving for junk food, sweets and may limit overeating.
Amazing Grass has many live enzymes that help aid in digestion and other bodily functions. In addition to the live enzymes, Amazing Grass is also high in naturally produced anti-oxidants that neutralize free radicals and protect the skins' connective tissues. There are many testimonials from wheat grass consumers that have noticed an improvement of their skin's complexion and overall appearance.
Can I take Amazing Grass products if I'm pregnant?
Absolutely! We like to answer that question by asking 'Is it good to eat kale, broccoli or spinach while you are pregnant?' Our wheat grass is also a whole-food, green leafy vegetable. It very is important to get the best nutrition possible when you are pregnant. Not only for yourself, but of course for your baby. Nearly every doctor or nutritionist will attest that eating vibrant fruits and vegetables everyday is good for your health, especially when you are pregnant. We receive great feedback from pregnant mothers who consume our products during their pregnancy. The Amazing Grass co-founders wives both took our wheat grass and green superfood daily during pregnancy. They felt great during the entire pregnancy and both are convinced the greens made a huge difference in her health as well as the health of their children.
The fiber and naturally occurring digestive enzymes really help with constipation. Wheat grass is a good source of folic acid and other naturally occurring vitamins and minerals that your body and baby need more than ever when you are pregnant. Best of all, it is a green leafy vegetable...so you are getting your quota of greens everyday.

Amazing Grass Story How they got started….
Amazing Grass' Story They started this business out of their garage (actually Brandon's dining room table) in San Francisco, California in 2002. Two guys with a desire to build a grass roots business that compliments their passion for the outdoors and a healthy lifestyle. Both founders, Brandon and Todd, spent years in the "corporate grind" and realized how stress from the workday and poor eating habits adversely affected the lives of the typical American. They became convinced that phrases "I'm exhausted" and "I think I'm coming down with something" directly reflected that daily stress and inadequate diet.
Co-workers at a previous job, Todd noticed that Brandon was always drinking this "green drink" and seemed immune from the office flu and the contagious mid-afternoon yawn. It wasn't long before Brandon was supplying Todd and the rest of the office with wheat grass. After trying it for a couple weeks and picking up a book on it's incredible benefits, Todd became a true believer. As word spread, Brandon developed a long list of friends hooked on wheat grass that often called or stopped by his house to replenish their supply. The number of wheat grass believers grew so fast that Brandon's supply couldn't keep up. His freezer was getting pillaged on a daily basis. (They know this sounds like a scene from "Cops", but they swear its just wheat grass!)
With the help of a college class from Cal Poly SLO, their families and great friends (not to mention the support of their "AMAZING" and patient…OK… extremely patient wives), they started their company called "Amazing Grass". Amazing Grass' goal is to educate the world and share the amazing benefits of wheat grass that are coveted by those who are already in "the know." It is their passion to help people live healthier lives. They pledge to always listen to their customers, and work to constantly improve, create and offer "healthy" products that are also affordable. It's an amazing adventure to grow this business to reflect their dreams, passions and beliefs.
Today, Amazing Grass offers the most powerful vegetable on earth, consumable in a convenient way that aligns with their hectic lifestyles. They love hearing your stories about how their Amazing Grass products have changed your life. They also encourage their new friends to write us with their stories. The timeless phrase, "you are what you eat", sums up many of the responses. Eat Grass! Get Healthy!

Look at this kid. He can't stop laughing at this woman fake sneezing. Are you kidding me? She's not funny. There's nothing funny about what she's doing. It doesn't even sound like a real sneeze. She would be boo'd of the stage at any comedy club any where with that one note act. Yet this baby eats it up with a spoon. Embarrassing.
Now here's another reason not to have kids.


text: Ugh, sooooooo nauseous. I'm supposed to go out to dinner with my girlfriends tonight to a BBQ joint and I just want to barf. Of course, I'm not barfing at all, just so incredibly sick to my stomach. I was never this nauseated with DD - I was mildly queasy in the first trimester and then if I overate in the mornings in my third, I'd throw up, but otherwise, not sick at all. This time, I'm nauseous all day long.

Shure UR24S/BETA87A Handheld Wireless Microphone SystemThe Shure UR24S/BETA87A Wireless System features the UR4S Single Channel Diversity Receiver and the UR2/BETA87A Handheld Transmitter which consists of the UR2 Wireless Handheld Transmitter fitted with the Beta 87A Supercardioid Microphone capsule. The UHF-R is a professional, wireless technology engineered for the most demanding touring environments and installations. UHF-R wireless microphone systems offer unprecedented flexibility and versatility. Using multiple frequency bands, over 108 compatible systems can be used simultaneously. Individual frequency bands deliver up to 60 compatible systems per band. The UHF-R includes infrared synchronization that allows you to configure transmitter settings from the receiver, as well as these outstanding features:Frequency Band Selection Shure offers wireless systems in a selection of bands that conform to the different government regulations of specific nations or geographic regions. These regulations help limit radio frequency (RF) interference among different wireless devices and prevent interference with local public communications channels, such as television and emergency broadcasts. The microphone system's band and frequency range are identified on the face of the receiver and transmitter. Groups and Channels To transmit audio through a wireless system, the transmitter and receiver must be set to the same radio frequency, or channel. A wide selection of channels allows more microphones to be used at the same time, since each microphone must operate on a different channel. It also provides a greater choice of open channels--those that are free from interference from television broadcasts, electronic devices, or other wireless systems. A group is a selection of compatible channels. Wireless Shure microphones work better together when set to channels in the same group. Automatic Frequency Selection The following features scan the RF environment to find the best group and channel settings for a particular installation.•Group Scan--finds the group with the most open channels, then sets all networked receivers to channels in that group •Channel Scan--finds the first open channel in the currently selected group and sets the receiver to that channelAutomatic Transmitter Sync This feature automatically transfers the group and channel settings from a receiver to a transmitter. You can also program other transmitter settings on a receiver and transfer those settings too. Interface Lock This feature locks the receiver and transmitters so that users cannot change settings. The transmitter power switch can also be disabled so that the transmitter remains on if the power switch is accidentally toggled during a performance. Audio Gain StructureThe following settings allow you to adjust audio gain throughout the system:• Sensitivity (bodypack only). A 25 dB range of gain adjustment at the bodypack transmitter input •Transmitter Gain. A 30dB range of audio gain adjustment within the transmitter (affects audio level at the receiver, as indicated bythe Audio LEDS.) •Output Level. 32 dB of attenuation at the receiver output, plus a mute setting•—30 dB pad for matching audio levels at the receiver XLR output Networking Each receiver has an RJ-45 port on the back for connecting to other receivers over an Ethernet network. Networking receivers allows you to automatically set channels for all the receivers with a single group scan command. You can also control and monitor all networked receivers through the Shure Wireless Workbench PC software. Shure Wireless Workbench Software The Shure Wireless Workbench software on the supplied CD includes a variety of useful tools for installing and managing multiple wireless systems. Simply install the software on your computer and connect it to a network of receivers to monitor and control receivers and transmitters throughout the network. UR4S Single Channel Diversity Receiver The UR4S Single Channel Diversity Receiver has the latest in wireless technologies including Shure's patented Audio Reference Companding for crystal-clear sound beyond the limits of conventional wireless technology. The UR4S receiver provides advanced control and robust flexibility for a wide range of professional uses. UR2 Handheld Transmitter The UR2 handheld transmitter has a rugged, lightweight construction and an antenna design which advances RF (radio frequency) transmission reliability. The transmitter design allows for interchangeable microphone cartridges.Beta 87A Vocal Microphone The Shure Beta 87A is a premium quality supercardioid hand-held electret condenser vocal microphone with exceptionally smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level capability. Used for professional sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording applications, the Beta 87A combines superb performance with the ruggedness needed for touring and field production.The Beta 87A features a controlled low-frequency roll-off that compensates for proximity effect and prevents the "boomy" sound often associated with close pick-up. The characteristic Shure presence rise brightens the upper midrange. The tight supercardioid pattern, with null points at approximately 125 degrees, provides maximum isolation from other vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration. The Beta 87A operates on phantom power.

Carrie Underwood is opening up in the upcoming June issue of Marie Claire, and what she says may surprise you. She's been called shy and standoffish but that isn't the case.
After she was crowned an American Idol in 2005, the soft-spoken star's world changed overnight. "At the beginning of my career, I used to have panic attacks. People were touching me, screaming -- it made me really nervous. In public, I just get nervous. It's a physical reaction, feeling like the walls are closing in," she explains. "The fans are great. It's not their fault. I don't ever want to come across as ungrateful. But on my end, it is hard for me to process. Because I am still just me."
Carrie wasn't shocked at her success, she always knew she was destined for stardom, but she had no idea how quickly it would come. In her high school yearbook, she listed a series of goals she wanted to achieve before her class reunion. "You were supposed to say what you would be doing in 10 years, and I said, 'I will be rich, famous, and married to a hot guy,'" she says, "I guess I should have added a few more things!"
Carrie isn't a girly, get in touch with your feelings kind of gal.
"I'm not a mushy person at all. We were never a huggy family. Or a 'let's talk it out' family. Technically I have siblings, but they are quite a bit older than me. I was the accident, so I have the only-child syndrome going on," Underwood admits. "I'm a little more selfish, a little more independent, a little closed. I do wish I were softer. I wish I were able to form relationships better. But hey, I mean, I'm not a sociopath."When the topic of kids comes up, Underwood admits she's not ready to start a family with Fisher, 32. "I don't feel old enough to have kids," she says. "I know I am mature. But being responsible for another human?" You can read the full article once the June issue hits newsstands May 21st. ~Vanessa

The University of West Florida was recently selected to receive a National Institute of Health (NIH) grant totaling approximately $930,000, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Karen Molek, assistant professor and director of Chemistry Scholars, and Dr. Michael Huggins, professor and interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The award money will be distributed over the next five years.
UWF was awarded the Maximizing Access to Research Career Programs through Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research, or MARC U-STAR, grant to provide support for underrepresented undergraduate students pursuing PhD or MD/PhD degrees in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.
The grant provides financial support to students to allow them to spend more time in the research lab, thereby improving their preparation for high-caliber graduate programs. According to the NIH website, the grant program also supports efforts to strengthen the science course curricula and pedagogical skills of faculty and biomedical research training at institutions with significant enrollments of students from underrepresented groups.
"Dr. Huggins and I have the privilege of using this award to mentor students and help them achieve greater success than they ever dreamed," Molek said. "Research scientists capable of solving health concerns of the 21st century will require collaborative research from a diverse workforce. The diversity of professional research scientists can only result when all students are given the opportunity to ascertain their potential. My goal is to help remove financial barriers so that all students have the opportunity to receive a high quality education."
The grant money will be used to fund tuition and a portion of housing expenses for UWF students participating in the MARC Scholars Program, as well as summer stipends for students to conduct research on and off campus during the summer semester. Additional funds will go toward research supply stipends for UWF faculty mentors and more.
A portion of the grant will fund small research stipends for 17 UWF faculty members from the biology, chemistry and physics departments who will mentor MARC Scholars in the research lab. Additionally, 43 faculty members from 26 Research intensive institutions have agreed to host and mentor UWF MARC Scholars in their research labs during a summer semester.
The UWF Department of Chemistry has a 94 percent acceptance rate for students who continue on to graduate school. It is also home to the UWF Chemistry Scholars Program, which has helped improve the percentage of underrepresented chemistry graduates from 5 percent in 2008-2012 to 32 percent in 2013-2014. The number of underrepresented chemistry graduates pursuing graduate degrees has also risen from 2 percent in 2008-2012 to 17 percent in 2012-2014, in part as a result of the creation of the UWF Chemistry Scholars program.
Molek said the grant will also aid in the University's efforts to expand the UWF Chemistry Scholars program into other STEM departments across campus and secure additional federal grants.
"The MARC U-STAR grant will allow UWF to increase the opportunities for students majoring in biology, chemistry and physics by providing them with experiences and training that will help them be outstanding scientists, researchers and physicians," Huggins said. "The mentoring and research training provided to students will play a critical role in their professional development, helping to ensure they have the best chances of being successful."

Over the past 20 years, University of West Florida archaeologist Margo Stringfield has shared the history and archaeology of Pensacola's past with the public. Recently, one such story involving one of the first Englishmen to own property in Pensacola, British Naval Captain Sir John Lindsay, and a slave named Maria Belle proved to be a missing link that connects Pensacola to 18thcentury happenings on a broader world stage through the development of the British film, Belle.
Lindsay served as commander of the British Naval Forces in Pensacola from 1764 to 1765. Along with other high-ranking British officials and immigrants flowing into the new colony he was granted a town lot, located on the west end of present-day downtown Pensacola. Although he left Pensacola in 1765, Lindsay retained ownership of the property until late 1773, when documents show that he conveyed his lot in Pensacola to Maria Belle who is noted as being a "Negro woman" of Pensacola living in London at that time. Less than six months later, the lot conveyance was confirmed in Pensacola.
For Stringfield, this story was not only the focus of a master's thesis; through ongoing research the story of Lindsay and Maria Belle continues to shed new light on Pensacola's colonial community as a whole.
"Pensacola has one of the richest cultural heritages of any city in the United States," Stringfield said. "We want to bring that heritage to the public. One of the goals we have at the UWF Archaeology Institute is to share with the public who we are, where we came from and provide a better understanding of the people who contributed to the making of our city, our state and our country. We also look for links between Pensacola and the world at large.
That goal became a reality when news of Belle, a recently released film that highlights the life of Dido Elizabeth Belle, daughter of Lindsay and Maria Belle who was raised in London by her great uncle, Lord Chief Justice Mansfield of England, reached Stringfield. Although Belle touches only lightly on Dido's mother and does not directly state a link to Pensacola, Stringfield said the visually splendid and thought-provoking film does raise awareness of a complex period of history on both sides of the Atlantic.
"At the beginning of the British occupation in Pensacola, we have a distinguished naval captain tasked with charting the northern Gulf Coast of England's newly acquired colony," she said. "We also have a slave who became a free woman of means and was part of a period of our city's history that literally ended with a bang: the 1781 Battle of Pensacola. Inhabitants of Pensacola at the time were witnesses to a pivotal turning point in the American fight for independence. Meanwhile, in London, we have a daughter who is rightfully depicted as a young woman caught up in the dialogue over the abolition of slavery."
The Maria Belle project is an excellent example of the Archaeology Institute's interdisciplinary approach to research. Stringfield has worked with more than 30 UWF students, faculty, and staff since the early 1990s to construct the story of Lindsay, Maria Belle and their movements within the colonial community of Pensacola and beyond using British and Spanish primary resource materials. The archaeology of the colonial community is invaluable in telling the story.
With the release of Belle, Stringfield is hopeful that there will be growing interest in Pensacola's history and archaeology, as well as increased awareness of the University's efforts to uncover Northwest Florida's past.
"UWF has been the driving force in bringing the history and archaeology of our area to the public. And, within the Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, we strive to offer students the opportunity to work on unique projects. From excavations on 16th century Spanish shipwrecks to British house lots, UWF is bringing the past to life."
Belle was released on May 2 in the United States. For additional information, visit www.belle-themovie.com. To learn more about the story of Sir John Lindsay and Maria Belle, visit the WUWF website.

I just want to share my experience on your site. I found my partner here last June 16, 2012, we talked every single of the day and it feels like my day wasn't complete without talking to him. And I know it's true love. We decided to meet in Philippines last march 28, 2013 and got married this year April 28. I found the man that I can call my own. We are happily married. Thank you and more power, Brent and Lealyn Hill"
We met through FilipinoCupid. We were giddy about each other and corresponded for about a year. The euphoria passed but the joy didn't and I finally got overseas to meet her. After that, I was convinced it was real and popped the question. Now I'm filling out fiancé visa paperwork. Thanks FilipinoCupid!"
Thank you FilipinoCupid because of this site I found my MR. Right and I'm so glad and happy."
I found my love, the person whom I know I'm going to spend the rest of my life with thanks to this site. I'm so very thankful FilipinoCupid. I recommend this to my friends, who are searching their own love as well. Thank you."
