"My mother just gets … impulsive. She has these ideas about things …"
That's 17-year-old Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) in the premiere episode of "Bates Motel," explaining to his admiring new teacher, Miss Watson (Keegan Connor Tracy), why he's been bounced around to five different high schools. His mother Norma (Vera Farmiga) has just moved them from Arizona to White Pine Bay, a sleepy coastal Oregon town, following the tragic (accidental?) death of her second husband. Apparently Norma has valid reasons for her impulsive behavior. Either that, or … she just goes a little crazy sometimes.
We've heard that line before; it's from Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 horror/suspense classic "Psycho," in which motel owner Norman (now in his twenties and played by Anthony Perkins) is revealed to be a homicidal psychopath, driven to murder by an extreme case of split personality.
Inspired by Hitchcock's film (and to a lesser extent, Robert Bloch's 1959 novel, which describes Norman as a pudgy, bald 40-ear-old), "Bates Motel" is being billed as "a contemporary prequel," allowing an exploration of teenage Norman's unraveling psyche in a present-day setting. It's a savvy ploy by veteran TV showrunners Carlton Cuse ("Lost") and Kerry Ehrin ("Friday Night Lights"), combining pre-"Psycho" history with new twists and turns while catering to all the commercial obligations (pop song soundtracks, social-net promotions, etc.) of TV in the age of Facebook and Twitter.
Forget about those good-and-bad "Psycho" sequels and that ill-conceived "Bates Motel" TV movie from 1987; this "Bates Motel" is a stand-alone series with its own set of unsolved mysteries. Some of Hitchcock's iconic imagery remains: The 12-room motel and adjacent Gothic house (exterior sets that have been a centerpiece of the Universal Studios tour for decades) have been faithfully recreated, and the perfect casting of Highmore ("Finding Neverland") makes it easy to connect the troubled-teen Norman with Perkins' memorable original. We also get a hint of Norman's future hobby: taxidermy, another connection to Perkins' character.
A sampling of the first three episodes reveals a few other subtle nods to Hitchcock, and by lucky coincidence, Farmiga (especially with her blonde hair pulled back in a bun) is a physical match for the stuffed corpse that is shockingly revealed in the climax of "Psycho."
That we're familiar with Norma's fate adds another layer of spooky psychology to "Bates Motel." We know this story won't end well for Norman and his mother, but their "Psycho" destinies are still years in the future, and "Bates Motel" is subtly propelled by an underlying sense of dread and foreboding.
The show's original plot elements are more conventionally designed to appeal to TV's most coveted, young-skewing demographic, placing "Bates Motel" on a pop-cultural continuum with series created and/or produced by Kevin Williamson ("The Vampire Diaries"), Joss Whedon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and Cuse's "Lost" partner J.J. Abrams ("Alias"). The high school setting is distinctly Whedon-esque, with popular, good-looking kids like Bradley Martin (Nicola Peltz) toting smartphones and playing nice with new-kid Norman while nerdy classmate Emma (Olivia Cooke) copes with Cystic Fibrosis (requiring constant use of an oxygen tank) and recruits kindred-spirit Norman in her quest to solve White Pine Bay's darkest mystery.
It's here that "Bates Motel" introduces plot elements that may (or may not) ensure its viability a an ongoing series. After a violent intrusion by the motel's disgruntled previous owner (who lost the property to foreclosure), Norma and Norman suddenly have a capital crime to conceal, just as the entire town is hiding secrets of its own. White Pine Bay is Oregon's answer to Humboldt County, California: its thriving economy is built on huge, carefully guarded pot-growing farms. And while Sheriff Romero (played by "Lost" alumnus Nestor Carbonell) pursues a possibly sinister agenda, Deputy Shelby (Mike Vogel) finds himself attracted to Norma -- and harbors a cellarful of secrets that give Buffalo Bill's (from "The Silence of the Lambs") a run for their money.
Add some underground sex trafficking — not to mention the unwelcome arrival of Norman's black-sheep half-brother Dylan (Max Theriot) — and you've got enough bad behavior to keep "Bates Motel" percolating for at least its debut season, but anything beyond that remains to be seen (or ordered). Directed by series coproducer Tucker Gates, the premier episode effectively introduces character dynamics that hold promise for revelations to come: Norman is clearly struggling with intensifying "mommy issues," and raging hormones only add to his bottled-up anxieties.
Norma has her own problems: She's a maternal menace, an overprotective manipulator with a martyr complex. When she's not guilt-tripping Norman as he yearns for high-school normalcy, she encourages intimacy with her boy that's too close for comfort. "We belong to each other," she reminds Norman, fueling the Oedipal complex that Hitchcock subtly alluded to in "Psycho."
The role hints at tantalizing possibilities, and it's safe bet that the fiercely talented Farmiga (an Oscar nominee who earned well-deserved praise for directing and starring in "Higher Ground") would not have signed on without assurances of sustainable quality. Based on its first three episodes, "Bates Motel" is off to a promising start. Whether it lasts until Norma's inevitable rendezvous with mortality is, at this point, anybody's guess.

How can "Good" Brand Canned Soups Taste So BAD?
- g
- GretaKirstin Sep 25, 2012 01:22 PM
Today is chilly out...I thought a quick bowl of soup would cheer up 103 yr old Anna...Progresso's Clam Chowder...ugh! I would not feed it to a dog!!
Why do all manner of soups from a can just taste BAD, BAD, BAD? SO BAD that anything I add will not kill that corroded metallic flavor? Has anyone conquered the curse of canned soups?
re: GretaKirstin
Yes I've had both red and white quite often, although not this season yet. Which did you try?
re: GretaKirstin
You should if you're not happy, I'm the queen of nitpicking when it comes to grocery purchases. I only eat Progresso soup when I'm working from home and I want something fast and cheap, so my standards aren't at their peak level at that point. I just never felt like it was inedible, but I wasn't trying to please anyone but myself!
OK...here's what I did...to a 18.5 oz can of clammed chowder I added about 1/2 C milk, 1+ t of Better than Bullion chicken broth, fresh basil chopped, 1/2 piece of sour dough bread, choped, fresh ground pepper and 1 t bacon bits..It was not fantastic but at least I got rid of the corroded metal taste...Anna's a picky eater...she won't finish anything she doesn't like...the jury is still out because she has her nose in a book, too. Anyone else wanna save the canned soup industry with improvements?
Next time I will try to have cream on hand to use instead of 2% milk, instead of bread I'll use croutons and omit the bacon bits...
re: GretaKirstin
All your added ingredients plus a can of clams sounds way better than the Progresso soup, anyway!
Especially once you use cream in it.
re: jmcarthur8
Yes...though I was just going for fast and easy...maybe next time I'll do tortillas with melted cheese for lunch! Hard to fail with these...either corn or flour!
re: jmcarthur8
Yes, good suggestions...I normally make huge batches...guess I'll down size at your suggestion...every once in a while...
I used to eat Progresso clam chowder once i awhile, but I've quit buying any canned clam chowder. It's never going to be anywhere near as good as made from scratch. I don't remember it being THAT bad, however. I don't even know what metal tastes like.
Sometimes I make a shortcut clam chowder from Campbell's Condensed Cream of Potato soup and canned minced clams. This is better than canned clam chowder, but not homemade.
re: GH1618
I might try this short cut sometime! I do make clam chowder from scratch and it's always really good...maybe I'll just double the batch and freeze in small containers. I think for me, this will be the solution.
re: GH1618
Do you dilute the soup with milk or water before adding the (undrained) clams?
re: GH1618
Thanks -- will give this a try.
Actually, Anna left about an inch in the mug...so it failed the Anna Taste Test...old ppl are really honest! She ate as much as she could stomach!
Thank you all for your suggestions...maybe Costco buys what doesn't sell in regular grocers?? Maybe it is old...??? I wish someone would report their experience from Costco's back to me...there is absolutely no taste of clams! And of course you have to buy 8 cans at a time...lesson learned!
re: GretaKirstin
No, Costco does not deliberately sell damaged or outdated groceries. The common sense solution is to not buy it again if you don't like it. Costco will refund your money.
re: Samalicious
I LOVE Costco! Have never thought Costco buys damaged goods...some reader brought age up...I just cannot believe ppl buy such poor tasting soup---thank you for your suggestion to get a refund--I thought since I used 1 can, I was stuck with it!! Of course! COSTCO HAS THE BEST REFUND policy...to cover errors such as this! Thank you SO much!
re: GretaKirstin
Or you could donate it. There are people who would very much appreciate even bad soup in a can.
I have to say that their clam chowder is the only Progresso soup I really don't like, though not because of any awful flavor; it simply hasn't got ANY. I do like Snow's okay, but I'll also add a can of clams and their juice, because it's not nearly as good as it used to be.
Canned soup in general annoys me nowadays for all the wrong reasons, starting with the fact that there's too damn much of it. The Progresso section alone takes as much space as the entire soup section used to, with a half-acre of Campbell's next to it, and so on for however many yards. In the meantime, I can get five versions of any Campbell soup they have (low sodium, low fat, reduced fat, no fat, full fat, chunky), but not one can of my old faves, Scotch Broth and Pepper Pot. They still make those, but they're special order, and pale shadows of their true selves: Pepper Pot has tiny specks of tripe instead of nice chunks, and the Scotch Broth moved to the suburbs and now has beef instead of proper mutton. Idiots.
re: Will Owen
It still says mutton broth and lamb....
re: kubasd
Must have been a temporary thing - I special-ordered both at my neighborhood grocery in Nashville (ca. 1990) and sweartagod the Scotch Broth label said "beef." They're both made in Canada, too - not a bad thing in itself, but a clear opportunity to diddle with the recipes.
Anyway, if I want pepper pot now I'll just make my own. Lots of tripe down the street at the Latino market! And I bet Scotch Broth (got a recipe for that, too) would be great done with goat …
re: Will Owen
Great post Will Owen! And ALL so true!
re: Will Owen
Also a big fan of Campbell's Scotch Broth and Pepper Pot soups. Going to order some online.
re: Kholvaitar
I will wait to see if Costco brings back the large cans of soup in powder form. Nothing else has any flavor...decided that if one must eat canned soup crumpled up saltines disguises all those weird flavors better than herbs and spices. I remember seeing Scotch broth and pepper pot soups but never tried ...maybe I can find in a store....but now stores don't carry?
I used to eat a lot of canned soup and had clam chowder often. The Campbell's Chunky, even the Healthy Request, is much better than Progresso. Ironically I really wanted soup tonight and looked at everything in the soup aisle. But everything, even the low sodium stuff, had way too much sodium. Let's face it, there's really only one serving in spite of what the label says and 47% RDA is too much.
re: pikawicca
That's my main issue with canned soup, too. All that salt. I'm thirsty a half hour later. I'd just as soon make my own and freeze some for later.
re: jmcarthur8
I always add a pinch of salt to any canned soup. Generally like Progresso soups better than any other canned ones.
re: pikawicca
I hear ya! I agree 100% They try to mask the SUB PAR ingredients plus the preservatives and other chemicals...that flavored the White Clam Chowder to a non-descrept flavor of Stale Garbage!
re: ipsedixit
Progresso really is still one of the better canned soups, even if their quality has suffered somewhat after the company was sold to Pillsbury in the 1990's (and Pillsbury is now owned by General Mills).
The quality of some of the products definitely took a hit (and they discontinued some favorites).
I think the quality of most or all canned soup has become awful in the last 10 or so years. In the good old days, prepared canned foods were not so far off of the real thing and often quite good. Now everything has been cheapened into glop that seems to have nothing to do with real food. I used to buy and like Progresso soups but had to quit them entirely about 6 years ago. Salty, slimy and weird.
Make your own big batch and freeze or can in meal size portions.
re: splatgirl
In the good old days, prepared canned foods were not so far off of the real thing and often quite good.
Really? Give me an example.
re: ipsedixit
Well, there was a canned turtle soup sold in the south that was actually edible, but that was maybe 40 years ago.
re: splatgirl
I had the same realization. I don't know if the soups changed or if my expectations changed, but I gave up all canned soups a few years ago. I had been eating Progresso soups for years, and then one day I just suddenly couldn't stand them. And for some reason, the red-based ones always made my urine smell funny. I think it was in part the realization that soup shouldn't be doing this and that there was something in there that wasn't right that made me quit.
re: redfish62
I have a can in my pantry, bought on a whim in the last year or so, but I keep hesitating to try it. Maybe I will and report back to you, I am sort of an oyster aficianado; I know it would be so much better made from scratch, but Campbells = Mom's home cooking to me in so many twisted ways.
re: coll
That is one of today's "Commercial-Culture" issues now that Corporations are running our country...the side that is now always favored is the entity who makes profits; hence transparency is no longer needed....or demanded now that so many regulations and policies have been watered down to protect the Corporate structure of our country! We the consumer can really only voice our concerns and choices with our pocket books. I've never been a fan of canned soups but in the future I'll just stick to Campbell's tomato--add milk and basil...always is A-OK!
re: GretaKirstin
It's A-OK but not the same as it used to be either. Check the sodium levels and where the high fructose corn syrup is in the ingredients......it isn't the same as I remember in the 1950s-1960s. Not that I don't still use it in some applications, but it is NOT the same sadly. It has changed to being a whole new entity.
re: GretaKirstin
stragely enough dill also is delicious in tomato soup; even in campbell's
re: betsydiver
I always forget about dill weed--actually, dill is good in lots of things...never tried it in tomato soup...thanks!
re: GretaKirstin
So.start your own company and make a good soup.if it's that damn good, ppl will buy it. the rest is political BS
re: FriedClamFanatic
Actually...that's an idea!...myself I'll leave it for a young up and coming go-getter...
entrepreneur... priorities...priorities...
I agree, most canned soup is just terrible and often has a metallic taste. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I gave up trying when I discovered frozen soup. My grocery store (Publix in Florida) carries Tabatchnick frozen soup, which I love. The soups taste fresh and several are organic, low sodium, or vegetarian http://www.tabatchnick.com/store_loca.... I've converted several friends to their frozen soup. As an alternative, you might want to try soup packaged in aseptic boxes. Since the packaging is lined in plastic, there's no metallic taste issue.
re: tillisandra
Frozen soup! That's the way to go...for those times needed ASAP. I've never known of frozen soup!!
Thanks much for bringing it to our attention. Dried soup seems to be heavy in salt and probably chemicals too. I wonder if WA State has any frozen soups...I tend to buy fresh so I seldom peruse the frozen food sections. I will look into it--Tabatchnick is not a familiar brand to me...
re: GretaKirstin
I've had the Tabatchnick pea soup, and it's about as close to a simpler version of mine (i.e. no pork!!) as you can get. Very fresh-tasting, but expensive enough to persuade me just to make my own, as it's pretty fast and easy. Any supermarket with a decent number of Kosher items should carry it.
re: GretaKirstin
GretaKirstin - Have you ever tried the Ivar's clam chowder sold in grocery stores? It used to be sold in a box inside plastic pouches and you added milk, but I haven't purchased for quite a while, so it looks like they may have changed it. I know Costco carries it, and quite a few other grocery stores. It's very good and I'm pretty sure you can freeze it.
I'm also in Washington and I think I've seen the Tabatchnick frozen soups at Safeway and QFC (if you're in the Seattle area.)
re: gmm
You know GMM, I've certainly seen Ivar's Chowder around in stores and have had it on the wharf...I have not seen it at Costco's in a while...but you've just reminded me of some dried soups Costco had a few years back. Honestly, it was divine! The can was big...maybe 46 oz or so...potato soup and one other flavor...have not seen those either and I don't remember the brand...they were so good I gave them to niece and nephews. More and more stuff Costco carries is seasonal...so maybe as the weathers colder they'll bring more soups out...I Love Costco! (I will check Safeway---thanks!)
re: Tripeler
Of course no one seems creative enough to fix their problems!
re: GretaKirstin
Actually, Campbell's has improved their product in recent years by introcing the Select Harvest line. It's better, but it's still canned soup and people are using less of that these days. If I decide to make soup from scratch now (and I have), what can Campbell's do about that?
re: GH1618
The problem with this thread is that canned soup is not a substitute for homemade soup (and vice versa).
Each are in their own food category.
re: ipsedixit
True. Nothing beats home made, but the canned products (the better ones, anyway) do have their place.
re: The Professor
When I don't feel well, like so many others, I will not eat anything but Campbell's tomato soup. Forget homemade....don't care how good it is.
That and a Velveeta cheese grilled cheese sandwich on white bread.
re: The Professor
True...homemade soup is like (can be like) comfort food. Canned soup is like fast food...
re: Tripeler
That was very interesting to me Tripeler, thx!

Representatives of the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), the City of California, Union Pacific Railroad and Amtrak opened a new $8.1 million, 9,000-foot railroad side track that adds capacity and will reduce delays on the route used by Amtrak Missouri River Runner trains between Kansas City and St. Louis.
The new siding, located just west of California, Mo., helps unclog a major "bottleneck" that was caused by a 25-mile stretch of single-track and enables slower freight trains to move off the main line, allowing faster Amtrak trains to pass. It is also estimated to annually reduce passenger train delays by nearly 17 percent.
The siding enables the mile-and-a-half long Union Pacific trains that haul low-sulfur coal from Wyoming to electric utilities in the St. Louis area and eastern power generation facilities to clear the way for Amtrak trains. MoDOT secured $4.8 million in state funds for this project, complemented with a $3.3 million grant from the Federal Railroad Administration.
Amtrak also announced it had a record-breaking Thanksgiving holiday travel week, carrying 685,876 passengers, including 127,577 on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
"More and more people are choosing Amtrak for their traveling needs and the record number for Thanksgiving shows what this railroad is capable of achieving," said Amtrak
President/CEO Joseph Boardman, noting this year's ridership was up four percent over last year's 659,184 and surpassed the previous record of 666,716 riders set in 2007.
Comparing Thanksgiving 2009 to Thanksgiving 2008, there was a 5.5 percent increase in ridership on the Northeast Corridor, a 2.9 percent increase on state-supported trains and other short distance corridors, and a 4.7 percent increase on long-distance trains.
The Thanksgiving holiday travel week extended from November 24 through November 30. In preparation for the anticipated heavy passenger volume, Amtrak added extra trains along the Northeast Corridor and the Pacific Northwest and increased capacity on trains operating in California and the Midwest, according to the company.

Scrappy clears the air before he heads to kush-head rehab…
Scrappy Apologizes To Erica And Defends Marriage Proposal Before Rehab
Love & Hip Hop Atlanta struggle couple Scrappy and Erica have been going through the motions for longer than most, accusing each other of being thirsty for fame, unfaithful, and everything in between.
But now, in light of Scrappy's recent
already obvious revelation that he's addicted to mean green and headed to rehab, it sounds like he might be calling a cease fire to all the relationship drama with his big-bootied babymama Erica.
Scrappy recently had a brief chat with Ryan Cameron of V-103 radio in Atlanta to clear the air before he heads to rehab. Check out a few excerpts from the interview below.
On his "mary jane" habit and heading to rehab:
"I'm really just trying to leave everything alone and take that natural happiness and good feeling that God gives you. Before you ever get into [kush], alcohol and any other stuff everybody had that natural high and that happiness and it's way better."
On Erica claiming that he only proposed to help his image:
"It [the proposal] was definitely genuine, I spent a lot of money on the ring for God's sake. All my hard work earned money and she had to spend nothing."
It kind of sounded like Scrappy's new found quest for sobriety might have him changing his mind about breaking things off with Erica….but, not quite.
Hit the flip to hear Scrappy's apology to Erica and what else he had to say about her not showing him love along with how he really feels about her now.

We got back last night from camping, and we made it a full week without killing each other!!! A week is a long time, and don't get me wrong, there was a time Tues/Wed when the kids just laid there like lumps, bored out of their skulls, but all in all, they had a blast at the beach and lots of miles-stones were made:
My oldest now rides without training wheels!
My middle guy practically jumped in the ocean with his clothes on the first time down at the shore - the last time we were there in April, he would NOT go past the dunes to even look at the ocean.
My little guy - well... he's still a weasel and addicted to his binky, but we are working on him....who wants a screaming kid being weaned off a binky during a camping trip - NOT ME! He did like the water though, but not the sand - he's like me that way.
Any trip now will be a piece of cake. 2 days - HA - no problem! I laugh at that! HaHA! We forgot some key things, like the frozen premade chicken braciole and the bacon, but that was ok...my DH made 3 racks of baby back pork ribs on a 14 inch grill that were to die for! I swear he's a gifted man - he can cook gourmet anywhere.
Food wise - meat, bread, donuts, chips. That was the diet. Water & veggies & fruits were real low...storage issues and pee issues really. So now it's "CAMPING DETOX" - water water water!!! Food shopping is tomorrow, which means - veggies, fruits and good breads and skim milk!! YAY I can't wait!!!!
So the bathing suit was REALLY funny, because my ever disappearing ass has now made my suit look stupid. I had to buy some black shorts to wear OVER the suit, and now the back part around the chestal area is getting loose!! Gimme a break!! If I really had guts, I'd post it online, but that my friends, you will never see!
So here is another random thought I had today...and if you had similar weightloss, you will experience this too...it's the mental concept that your body really is not all that bad. Think about it. Go to a beach and sit and people watch and you will see. Go to a museum and look at the sculptures and nudes of "back in the day." Women are made and depicted in a certain way for centuries for a reason - we are women! We have the round curves, the belly pouch, the poochy arms and full thighs. Every single Roman and Greek statue I have ever seen has had those similar features. Womanly, motherly, sexy features. And the artists - MEN. Think about it. Think about that power the female form has over the male...for as long as man and woman has walked the earth, the goddess and mother earth cultures. I can go all ethnographic and anthropological on you guys, but I think I made my point somehow: sometimes that little bit here and there that we HATE is what the other half loves the most about our body.
So my conclusion is this (long winded, I know, but hey, it's been a week!)
Lose what you want to lose to make you happy with your body, whatever weight that may be. Love yourself first and foremost, and that starting point will bring about such wonderful changes in your world - Confidence, Self-esteem, Time for YOU.
PS - I'll be bopping in to see y'all soon! Just give me some time to do the laundry - 5 loads easy!
A couple of things went on this week that are totally awesome!!
I lost 2 pounds! I jumped on the scale for S&G (that's S%@#&'s and Giggles for my friends - it's a term that I sometimes use, well, for S&G!) I digress...the scale. It said 153! I sort of had no movement for 2 weeks and exercise was lackluster (as it has been lately...I'm working on a new schedue). I digress...again. Well, after getting ready for my son's 4th b-day party and teacher gifts, and prep for camping....blah blah blah - somehow, in there, 2 pounds came off! I have to thank diet for this one!
Last Friday, I B-blogged about family and crap, and my body was sooo hungry that I ate more than my usual for the day. I'll say overindulged to be nice to myself. I thought it was stress/emotional eating going on. But finally the hunger went away and I felt satisfied. I thought, well there goes any movement on the scale this week! and shrugged it off and started over the next day. I've never really thought about it until the next day, that my body must have been needing someting that I wasn't supplying - some extra calories. Instead of fighting my "craving" - I gave in and ate that extra half piece of pizza and had a chocolate pretzel rod, (OK , it was 3).
By listening to my body - I learned something new. Cravings are there for a reason. If it's a true craving, just get rid of it and be done with it. Don't torture yourself into thinking it will go away, because that is when binging happens. That's what I think, at least.
OK - that being said...I had yesterday off and all to myself - a rare day in my world!! The kids were all in school and the office was super slow, so we did not schedule the day at all. Because we are camping this week, I had a butt load of stuff to get the kids - for underwear and socks to bathing suits to paper bowls to sunscreen to sandals and sneakers - you name it - I needed to get it. Gas is expensive now, so I figured K-mart was the best place to go to get everything done. Early shopping at 8:30 - the place is dead.
SO I'm in the ladies department and saw my favorite thing - the clearance rack! My size 12s are looking really baggy in the butt area - I think I will be a large on top forever and my butt with keep shrinking til it's a size zero...anyway, I grapped 2 capris in a 9/10 and a bunch of large tops and went to the fitting room. The 9/10s were for S&G to see if , maybe, I could squeeze my butt into them....well the darn things FIT!!
Talk about being pumped! I bought both of them. It gave me some oomph to get to my goal weight even more now...and maybe even beyond that. I accept these things - my chest will always be larger than my hips, it's the way I am built, my butt will always be flat and narrow...but the weight will eventually come off and I'll tone as much as I can within my lifetime to be less mushy and stronger. I'll get there...eventually.
I still can't believe that I own a size 10 piece of clothing! Do linen capri's bronze well? I think they deserve to be saved for all eternity. Those puppies will NEVER be thrown out. Ever...
All good things come to those who wait.
When I first joined SP on Feb 7th - the aspect of belonging to such a huge thing was a little daunting. Insecurity and self-consiousness were there even though noone could see me and reading people's banter had me a little envious of that comraderie.
So, like this new lifestyle change, I took a leap of faith and jumped in with both feet. The more I posted, the more comfortable I felt; and in turn, the more confident about myself and my new endeavor, the better I did with my lifestyle change. If was the support and encouragement of others that was the key for me.
SP "advertises" that if you just reach out to the community, people will be there to help you along, pick you up and dust you off again, and put you back on your path. It is so true.
Friendships take time to build...but when they are there, they are unwavering (for me at least). If you are just starting out on SP - give it a go with the community - it will surprise you. And if you don't blog a whole lot or chat, try it, you might find the key that was missing in your lifestyle change.
So my conclusion is this - all good things come to those who wait...who persevere...who strive to better themselves...who listen...who contribute...who accept you for who you are...who take that leap of faith.
I don't really B-blog, as I like to call it. And it seems that every Friday is when I want/need to do it...so I guess I am going to give into temptation today and just vent. And all I want to do is eat, so I might as well do some therapy blogging to try and circumvent the situation!
I give. All the time. Almost to a fault. I never say no. I never ask for things in return. It is just the way I am.
I've been watching my sister and sister in law's children every Mon & Fri for 6 months. Free of charge, of course. I even asked for my nephew to come on M&F because I never see him and it would save my sister daycare money. Long story there. Very sad too. It could be a book that would wrench your soul. But her life has taken a 180 and is really happy now, so there is a happy ending after all. My SIL, well another story there. Long and short of it is that she has never payed for daycare in her entire child rearing career. Someone (me or my MIL) is always there to say yes to her and since her work hours are weird b/c she is an after school early intervention person - my MIL is right in there to say yes. Thus, I never ask MIL to watch my kids b/c god forbid, she is always next door watching the other 2 golden grandchildren for her own daughter. Is there bitterness here? Hell yeah!
Let's just say - I have A LOT of payback to cash in this summer. But the chances of me cashing in are very slim. You see, DH and I are proud of the fact that we can do things on our own. We don't rely on others. It's almost to a fault. In fact, I'm trying to overcome that tendency of not asking for help. For example: My son's 4th birthday is on Sunday - well guess what? I asked everyone to bring some healthy side dish enough for 20 adults. And you know what? They all said yes. Makes it a lot more economical to entertain...and we are the entertaining family with the good entertaining house, of course!
Another thing is the tendency to rush back home because I feel, let's face it - guilt! Whenever I am alone - you name it, doing whatever - I feel the need to relieve whoever is watching the kids because that's MY job. Even when me and DH have that rare date, so sad, but once a year on our anniversary, we feel the need to rush home!! SICK! What the hell!?!!
So now it is the last Friday of the school year and I am almost free of my nephew...one more day on Mon for him AND my niece and then I get a deserved break from babysitting. Don't get me wrong - I love him as my own son, I call him #4 even and treat him as my own. That's why he loves me. But I need a break. My daydreams today are of me on a massage table for an hour & a half...then a facial and pedicure.
So now today is get ready for party day because tomorrow morning I work til 1pm and DH has the kids and is going to a 6 y.o. birthday party until 3pm. So tomorrow last minute prep is going to be just that. Clean. Bake. Weed. The whole kit & caboodle for a party. Oh and buy a gift for the little guy - I can't forget that. I probably will. Lol
So after a B-blog, it's time to count blessings, because God knows, other people have it way worse than I do. I'm thankful for the following:
- nice home
- healthy kids
- loving husband
- healthy family in general
- good climate (God help those in the flood zone)
- my new lifestyle change
- the fact that I can run & play with the kids w/o getting out of breath
- a good job that I love
- good people that I work with and the people we treat
I said to my co-worker the othe day that I took some selfish time to myself the other day and did 50 minutes on the TM while there were other things waiting to get done. Her immediate response was this - "you're the least selfish person I know - so don't you dare feel that way or say that" It's nice to hear that once in a while. Too bad the people you are not being selfish for and helping don't say thank you enough. That's why I always say thank you to everyone for the smallest things.
One thing about SP that I love - I always get a thank you for well, whatever, most of the time. And that is the nicest thing for me to get. Really.
So I got into the thing 3 years ago - short lived event...baby #3 came right after I zipped it up. LOL I wore it for Halloween, believe it or not! I truly was a sight walking around my Wisteria Place neighborhood in full bride gear! Bustier corset underneath & veil included! But it was a little snug, even then - hell, even when I got married 9 years ago!
So this time around, it was time to try it on again....and it fit! The funniest thing is that the shoulders are big! No joke! I was a little snug around the middle b/c I haven't workout in a week, but there was no corset on me this time. Teeheehee!
Believe it or not - 2 previous blogs were deleted because of distractions, I guess there were never meant to be seen! Finally, this is the blog I was supposed to write! At LAST!
NEW MINI GOAL - lose the last 5 pounds and make that dress swim on me by July 16, my 9th anniversary. Wear my wedding night trousseau again and have it look EXTRA good this time around - why not! I payed plenty for that stupid night gown set that I've worn only twice in the last 9 years! The last time I wore it - baby #3 came along...no chance of that happening now! LMAO! I feel giddy - this is what I'm supposed to do...
The other blogs before this were very yukky - b&@%$ blogs, I like to call them. I was feeling like I had no oomph or direction and feeling a little lost in my own skin, I guess. Who figured trying on a dress would turn my head around so fast.
FUTURE GOAL - My hubby doesn't know it yet, he thinks that I am joking, but it is going to happen. On our 10th anniversary, we are going to renew our vows in the back yard and have a big party - BBQ on the grill, and play a game of touch football. That's what he wanted to do 9 years ago, but in a park. My friend got his license to wed over the internet, so I'll have him officiate for us. This will happen - I can promise you that! Even if I have to surprise him - it will happen!! And I'm gonna look hot!!

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Beta-glucan may increase the effectiveness of rituximab by making cancer cells more sensitive to the monoclonal antibody.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of beta-glucan when given together with rituximab in treating young patients with relapsed or progressive lymphoma or leukemia or with lymphoproliferative disorder related to donor stem cell transplantation.

Experimental: Group II
Patients receive rituximab IV on days 1, 4, 8, 15, and 22 and oral beta-glucan once daily on days 8-28. Beginning on day 42, patients with responding disease may receive monthly rituximab prophylaxis.
Biological: beta-glucan
Given orallyBiological: rituximab
Given IV
Detailed Description:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of beta-glucan when given in combination with rituximab in pediatric patients with relapsed or progressive CD20-positive lymphoma or leukemia or post-allogeneic stem cell transplant-related lymphoproliferative disorder.
- Determine the toxicity of this regimen, with special emphasis on the degree of B-cell depletion and immune suppression, in these patients.
- Determine the effects of beta-glucan on leukocyte-mediated cytotoxic effects in patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the antitumor effect of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of beta-glucan. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups according to diagnosis.
- Group I (lymphoma or leukemia): Patients receive rituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and oral beta-glucan once daily on days 1-28 (days 8-28 of course 1). Treatment repeats every 42 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Group II (post-allogeneic stem cell transplant-related lymphoproliferative disorder): Patients receive rituximab IV on days 1, 4, 8, 15, and 22 and oral beta-glucan once daily on days 8-28. Beginning on day 42, patients with responding disease may receive monthly rituximab prophylaxis until their CD4 cell count is > 200/mm^3.
Cohorts of 6 patients receive escalating doses of beta-glucan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 6-24 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Pistons back in action Saturday against 76ers
Updated On: Feb 01 2014 11:20:25 AM EST
The Detroit Pistons got plenty of time off this week thanks to a postponement in Atlanta on Wednesday and will finally get a chance to extend their winning streak to a whole two games when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. The Pistons snapped a four-game slide with a 103-87 win over Orlando on Tuesday to close out January with a 4-8 mark. The 76ers have dropped 11 of 14 after losing a 125-99 decision to the Hawks on Friday.
Detroit had allowed an average of 108.8 points during its four-game slide but turned in its best defensive performance of the month with a strong effort on the boards against the Magic. Philadelphia has its own issues on the defensive end and leads the NBA in average points allowed. The 76ers surrendered an average of 114.5 points in dropping each of the first two meetings with the Pistons this season, including a 115-100 trashing at Detroit on Dec. 1.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, CSN Philadelphia, FSN Detroit
ABOUT THE 76ERS (15-32): Philadelphia knocked off the Boston Celtics on Evan Turner's last-second layup on Wednesday but could not carry that momentum to Friday and was smashed by the Hawks. The 95-94 triumph in Boston marked the lone time in the last nine games that the 76ers allowed less than 100 points. That sort of defensive effort has been a rarity for Philadelphia as it slumps toward the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The offense shows signs of something the team can build around but Turner, who leads the team in scoring at 18.2 points, struggles to consistently produce and posted only six points against the Hawks.
ABOUT THE PISTONS (18-27): Andre Drummond posted 13 points and 17 rebounds in the win over the Magic to bounce back after a poor performance in the previous contest.
"Everybody is entitled to have an off-night," Drummond told reporters. "I had to come out and play with a lot more energy (against Orlando) than I had the night before."
Drummond had one of his best games against the Philadelphia front line, posting a career-high 31 points to go along with 19 rebounds and six steals in the last meeting against the 76ers. Drummond leads the Eastern Conference and ranks second in the NBA with 33 double-doubles.
1. Detroit has taken five of the last six in the series, including three in a row at home.
2. Philadelphia G Michael Carter-Williams is struggling to 34.5 percent shooing in the last four games.
3. Pistons G Brandon Jennings is averaging 26 points in four games since being held scoreless on Jan. 20.
