ECRI's WLI Growth Rate Up For Fifth Straight Week 0 comments
Oct 8, 2010 11:15 AM | about stocks: SPYOriginal at ECRI WLI Growth Rate Up Again
The Economic Cycle Research Institute, ECRI - a New York-based independent forecasting group, released their latest readings for their proprietary Weekly Leading Index (WLI) this morning. (More about ECRI)For the week ending October 1, 2010
- WLI is 123.8, up from the prior week's reading of 122.5.
- The lowest reading for WLI this year was 120.4 for the week ending July 16.
- Since apparently bottoming at -10.3 for the week of August 27, WLI growth moved higher for the fifth consecutive week to minus 7.0% from minus 7.8% a week ago.
- The last positive reading for WLI growth was for the week ending May 28, 2010 when it stood at positive 0.1%.
Chart of WLI and WLI growth vs GDP GrowthClick to view full size chartSince ECRI releases their WLI numbers for the prior week and the stock market is known in real time, you can often get a clue for next week's WLI from the weekly change in the stock market.Notes:
- The WLI for the week ending 10/1/10 will be released on 10/15/10.
- Occasionally the WLI level and growth rate can move in different directions, because the latter is derived from a four-week moving average.
- ECRI uses the WLI level and WLI growth rate to HELP predict turns in the business cycle and growth rate cycle respectively. Those target cycles are not the same as GDP level or growth, but rather a set of coincident indicators (including production, employment income and sales) that make up the coincident index. Based on two additional decades of data not available to the general public, there are a couple of occasions (in 1951 and 1966) when WLI growth fell well below negative ten, but no recessions resulted (although there were clear growth slowdowns).
Before you claim understanding of ECRI's WLI, make sure you read the article "ECRI Weekly Leading Indicators Widely Misunderstood."Disclosure: I am long the exchange traded fund for the S&P500, SPY charts and quote, in my personal account and in the "Explore Portfolio" in "Kirk Lindstrom's Investment Letter."
"Bottom line, neither the "experts" predicting that the sky is falling based on the WLI, nor the other "experts" indulging in misinformed WLI-bashing in an effort to discredit the super-bears, have a real clue to what the WLI is all about... A slowdown in U.S. economic growth is imminent, but a new recession is not."

Accountants embrace "Biggest Loser" contest
by AccountingWEB on
printer friendly
When "The Biggest Loser" premiered its first season in 2004, most people probably didn't realize the show would become a cultural icon. Since it began, however, "The Biggest Loser" has encouraged people from all walks of life to design weight loss and fitness competitions to fit their own situation. With all the long hours and snacking that make up tax season, accountants are a perfect profession to benefit from the format.
Maria Krowicki (one of AccountingWEB's bloggers!), human resources manager for Cranford, NJ-based Fazio, Mannuzza, Roche, Tankel, LaPilusa, LLC says her firm is gearing up to start round two of Biggest Loser right after tax season. Round one occurred this past fall. "It was Marisa Fazio's idea," acknowledged Krowicki. "She brought it to me and so we put out an e-mail. We did it for 13 weeks." To join the competition required a $20 buy-in from each participant. "The bottom three each week would put in $5 more. The winner got it all." In a further show of corporate support, at the end of the contest, the company matched the amount of money in the pot and the winner received a check for the whole amount.
Respecting the privacy of the participants as well as being able to encourage their progress, there were weekly weigh-ins and only percentages of weight lost were posted. Krowicki did the weekly weigh-ins and calculations, and kept privileged information under lock and key. "Every Wednesday at 10 am they were at my door waiting [to be weighed in]. After every weigh-in I would post the percentages (never their weight) on the refrigerator and everyone would cheer each other on. It was interesting to see the transformation of people and how much weight they lost."
Of the 65 people in the office, 14 participated. The whole office benefited. During the course of the contest, healthier food choices were offered to support the participants. Birthdays were still celebrated, but without going overboard. Bagel breakfasts still occurred, but plenty of fruit and other healthy foods were always available. Everyone was eating healthier and encouraging the participants. It wasn't uncommon to see a group of people going outside for a walk.
Tom Headrick was the first Biggest Loser winner for the office and proudly collected his winnings. Overall, the collective loss of pounds for the group for the first round was 183.4 pounds or about 15.1% weight loss percentage.
While the TV show "The Biggest Loser" is in its ninth season, the employees at Fazio, Munnuzza, Roche, Tankel, LaPilusa, LLC are looking forward to their second season. Said Krowicki, "Things seemed to work so well the first go-around that I don't know if we would change much, if anything. Now that tax season is behind us, and the nightly dinners are as well, people are looking forward to starting up with the program again.....just in time for the warm summer weather."

sane minimalism is not a term i would have picked, but i appreciate the thought.
sane minimalism
{ 1 comment… read it below or add one }
- July 31, 2012 at 5:19 pm
I believe that there are some minimalists that have a similar disease to hoarders. They are letting stuff control their life, or backlashing against the possibility of having too much stuff.
Hoarders have the health department called on them, extreme minimalists can't fry an egg and boil ramen at the same time.

Gamecock Football Representing in CFL
When you think Canada, you think Canadian Bacon right? Not football. If you bleed garnet, this may have to change.
Not many, especially, in the southern U.S. talk about the Canadian Football League (CFL) but there may be a reason for some South Carolina football fans to care this year as many former Gamecocks are being given a chance to continue their passion and earn a paycheck doing it.
Here is a current list of former USC football players suiting it up in the CFL:
- Fred Bennett (Calgary)
- Na'Shan Goddard (Calgary)
- Carlos Thomas (Saskatchewan)
- Marty Markett (Winnipeg)
- Justin Sorsensen (Winnipeg)
- Brandon Isaac (Toronto)
- Jarriel King (Toronto)
- Jonathan Williams (Toronto)
- D.L. Moore (Montreal)
So who will be watching the CFL to see how they do? Regardless, we wish them much success.

From Inc - World's Coolest Offices (2012) | |
These 20 offices are some of the world's best-designed and most awe-inspiring. Ping-pong tables and bright plastic furnishings are so 2011. This year, the companies with impressive digs have taken a more nuanced approach to giving their employees a covetable workplace. Lavish libraries? Check. Classic mid-century modern chairs? Check. Exposed beams, bricks, and concrete? Definitely. Another observation: Several offices that made our list of editor's picks this year house relatively young (and very fast-growing) tech start-up companies. They're so cool they've pushed Facebook right off the list. http://www.inc.com/ss/worlds-coolest-offices-2012 SOURCE: Inc.com |

Drew S. Days, III Will Deliver the Howard A. Glickstein Civil Rights and Public Policy Lecture
Lecture Will be Held on Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at Touro Law Center
July 26, 2011
Central Islip, NY
– Drew S. Days, III, the Alfred M. Rankin Professor Emeritus of Law at Yale Law School will deliver the Howard A. Glickstein Civil Rights and Public Policy Lecture at Touro Law Center on Tuesday, October 25, 2011.
Professor Drew S. Days, III, was nominated by President Clinton and confirmed by the Senate as Solicitor General of the United States, the Government's lawyer before the United States Supreme Court. He served in that capacity from May 28, 1993, to June 30, 1996, on a leave of absence from Yale Law School faculty to which he returned in July. He is a 1963 honors graduate in English Literature of Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. He received his LL.B degree from Yale University in 1966. After practicing briefly with a labor firm in Chicago, he entered the Peace Corps, serving as a volunteer in Honduras from 1967-1969. In the fall of 1969, Professor Days joined the staff of NAACP Legal Defense Fund in New York City. At the Legal Defense Fund, he litigated cases in the areas of school desegregation, police misconduct and employment discrimination. Mr. Days remained on the staff of the Legal Defense Fund (except for a two year teaching leave at Temple University Law School) until early 1977.
In March, 1977, he was confirmed by the Senate to serve as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, having been nominated to that post by President Jimmy Carter. Professor Days served in that capacity until the end of 1980. In January, 1981, he joined the faculty of the Yale University School of Law, receiving tenure in 1986. In November, 1991, he was named to the Alfred M. Rankin Chair at the Law School. At Yale, his teaching and writing have been in the fields of civil procedure, federal jurisdiction, Supreme Court practice, antidiscrimination law, comparative constitutional law (Canada and the United States) and international human rights. From 1988 to 1993, he was also the founding director of the Orville H. Schell Jr. Center for Human Rights at Yale University School of Law. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers and a Life Fellow of the American Bar Foundation. He is the recipient of numerous prizes and awards, including over eight honorary degrees. He served on the board of The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation from 1996 to June, 2008. He is a Life Trustee of Hamilton College and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He has been married since 1966 to Ann Ramsay Langdon, an artist and writer. They have two daughters, Alison, the medical director of a Head-Start Health Clinic in El Paso, Texas, and Elizabeth, an actress in New York City.
Touro Law Center created the Howard A. Glickstein Civil Rights and Public Policy Lecture in honor of Dean Emeritus Howard A. Glickstein. The inaugural lecture was delivered in November 2009 by William Taylor and last year by Chief Justice Marsha Ternus.

Tennessee: Wamp says federal unemployment aid to state has too many strings
Rather than focusing on the "unfunded mandates" in a stimulus bill from which nearly all states have accepted funds, Congressman Wamp should consider how the unemployment funds could help the long-term unemployed in Tennessee. Many Tennesseeans are on EUC, and their benefits will expire soon, and they remain unemployed through no fault of their own. States like California are already considering ways to help their long-term unemployed; California has already lengthened its maximum benfit period to 79 weeks. There are positive ways to react to the new funds, but more of our legislators need to be more cognizent of how to utilize them.

Picosecond Investigation of the Collisional Deactivation of OH A 2Σ+(v′ = 1, N′ = 4, 12) in an Atmospheric-Pressure Flame
Applied Optics, Vol. 37, Issue 15, pp. 3354-3367 (1998)
Acrobat PDF (318 KB)
The collisional deactivation of the laser excited states A2Σ+(v′ = 1, N′ = 4, 12) of OH in a flame is studied by measurement of spectrally resolved fluorescence decays in the picosecond time domain. Quenching and depolarization rates, as well as vibrational energy-transfer (VET) and rotational energy-transfer (RET) rates are determined. An empirical model describes the temporal evolution of the quenching and VET rates that emerge from the rotational-state relaxation. Fitting this model to the measured 1–0 and 0–0 fluorescence decays yields the quenching and VET rates of the initially excited rotational state along with those that correspond to a rotationally equilibrated vibronic-state population. VET from the higher rotational state (N′ = 12) shows a tendency for resonant transitions to energetic close-lying levels. RET is investigated by analysis of the temporal evolution of the 1–1 emission band. The observed RET is well described by the energy-corrected sudden-approximation theory in conjunction with a power-gap law.

Don't Forget: Rest and Exercise to Boost Memory
Misplace your car keys – again? Can't remember the name of the person you met just last weekend?
You're not alone. We're all absorbing millions of bits of information every day, so it's no surprise some things take a little longer to recall than others. But did you know that two common activities – exercise and rest – can help support healthy memory?

Yay for me. It's quiet here though. A busy week with Sage - paeds check, she's gone from 25th to 95th percentile, I wonder if HG kept her small? After my OB check I had to go back into hospital today for a minor procedure but all is good now. And 6 week unsettledness has arrived, no more 6 hour sleeps! Good luck everyone. #3Posted 02 April 2012 - 02:12 PM
Hello all, I am a 15 weeks pg HG sufferer and have been furiously reading your previous posts/threads. I am both super sorry to hear all of your terrible suffering and also relieved to know that I am not alone. I also love hearing the new bub stories where you are happy and have survived! Oh my goodness, those are the best stories. I am so worried that these feelings will carry over when bub is finally here...or that I am somehow stressing the wee one out with all my depression and anxiety.
I have never known such a black hole of desperation as with having HG. It's relentless. I started on Stemetil and then just in the past week or so transitioned to Ondansetron/Zofran, which has been a lifesaver. I do 8mg Ond and then 5gm Stem at about 6pm and 12am (or when I wake to pee). I noticed that a lot of you girls mention success with Ond so I am hoping that it really works for me. My worst times of the day are dinner time for some reason and the only food I can prepare is to pour cereal or chop a piece of fruit. It has been months of a vicious cycle of vomitting, unrelenting nausea and gagging. I can only stomach raw veggies for dinner and then wake starving/sick in the night. I feel like if only I could stomach some big meals I would feel so much calmer. I've noticed on the Ond that the serious fatigue I was getting on Stem has subsided, which is so nice, not to feel like a weird zombie all day. When I'm on Stem at night it comes back, but doesn't matter as it's night time. What I am so grateful for is that Ond allows me to finally drink water. I couldn't stomach drinking any at all before. I have been to hospital on an IV several times, which was both awful and amazing - like a cool breeze through the body after being so dehydrated. I'm hoping on the Ond these visits will stop. All of my life has gone to seed. No gym, walking, I don't see friends because my stomach is too tempermental and I'm exhausted. It's been a pretty sad old life. What is weird is that I have had time off work, but when I'm home and can't sleep it's like torture and I'd rather be anywhere else. I don't clean anymore or cook. It takes all the effort in the world just to wash my hair. This coming from a crazy obsessive and anal person. I think that's half my mental battle, knowing all the things I should/could/would be doing to have a happy and fulfilling life, but can't. I have had the WORST thoughts about this poor baby, including regret and the wish that I would miscarry. Typing that brings tears to my eyes, but in moments of depression what can I say? My DH has been an absolute saint, I can't believe how much, trying to buoy me on my darkest days. I am so grateful words can't even express. I have no family help at all (very long story) so relying on him so completely has been a humbling experience. OMG! So sorry that I have just unfurlled this thousand word rant out into the world! I guess I have had a lot of this stuff bottled up inside and once I got started, well, I couldn't stop. Thank you so much for listening to my dark little story. I really hope the Ond works and I can start getting back to myself again. Or better yet the HG passes as I move through this pg. I hope that everyone is going well and that I can one day offer support back to those in need of an ear to listen... xxox #4Posted 02 April 2012 - 03:50 PM
hey there
First, many of us have had those thoughts, you're not alone. I wished for miscarriages every day with my 4 HG pregnancies You are not of sound mind! Dehydration and the sickness affect brain function which in turn affects mood stability, rationality...its awful Glad zofran is workng - do you get it cheap from chemist warerhouse? The other you may want to try thaat many of us found helped is Restavit. Would give me 10hours of peace through the night. Food wise, have you tried different soups? I found I could eat a chicken one successfully. I just would try anything that sounded even half good in my head. I even ate a chikko roll twice - salt was good I hope it eases for you soon Camizebra #5Posted 04 April 2012 - 06:01 PM
camizebra I think we've all been there, at some point.
It sucks, big time. Its the worst thing I've ever been through. I'm just now at 16 weeks coming out of that haze, starting to have days where I'm only sick a couple of times and don't actually feel sick all the time and good god its amazing to not feel sick! ondacetron wasn't a magic bullet for me, but getting a decent nights sleep (usually thanks to a dose of phenergan) makes a huge difference (waking up to spew was new to this pregnnacy, never did that with the other 2). I also ate anything that seemed like a good idea, I'd quite often decide on three different things in the course of walking through the supermarket and then have to pick one when I got home. It will pass. thats the only thing that got me through (that, and that I NEVER have to do this again). Edited by tinkster23, 04 April 2012 - 06:03 PM. #6Posted 05 April 2012 - 02:09 PM
Hi girls,
How are you all? Sorry to hear you are suffering camizebra. I felt the same way about this baby, wishing for miscarriage. How awful!! Now I am totally in love with her and she is a joy, a calm relaxed baby. It will pass. There is nothing to like about pregnancy with HG, just get as much treatment as you can, and count down the days. It will pass. For the evenings you could try a second zofran (I would have it about 5pm so I could eat dinner) or restavit / phenergan (about 8pm for me as it made me sooo drowsy). Acupuncture also helped for me (and I am not the type to do alternative medicine but it really helped). I found going to work each day helpful just to take my mind off the illness, but if I vomited a lot would come home early. There is no one right way to do it. Talking about the baby or other babies was the only thing that made me happy, focussing on the end point. Good luck, you will survive. Glad things are getting better for you Tinkster. #7Posted 05 April 2012 - 02:13 PM
Forgot to tell you how Sage is going - she's thriving!! 5.7kg already, which is 97th percentile. She's growing out of 000 clothes and wakes only oncemostnights (but 3 times last night - yawn). She is chubby and beautiful like DD1, and calm and happy. I feel so wonderful now that it's just sleep deprivation I am dealing with, and can eat what I like. Everone tells me how good i look now, I think because weight gain is minimal, my skin and hair are still glowing, and I'm not green with nausea. And I'm smiling!!!
#8Posted 05 April 2012 - 11:27 PM
New low. For only the second time in three hyeperemesis pregnancies I didn't make the toilet. Spewed all over the toilet wall, floor. Spewed hard enought to wet myself, my eyes watering, coughing up blood, broken capillaries all over my face.
Yay. Best part, I got to clean it all up as well. . Remind me again why this is worth it. #9Posted 06 April 2012 - 01:42 PM
Oh girls, thanks for all your replies. Even though I am sad that others have had to go through this, I am happy that I am not alone. I have been feeling more human on the Ondansetron thank goodness. I still vomit some mornings and gag a fair bit, but the nausea is becoming more manageable. Now, it's time to try build up my energy and motivation and get life back to some order. I really hope this lasts and I don't build up a tolerance to the Ond.
mrsnorthman Thanks for the Chem Warehouse tip. I currently only have scripts for 4 tablets and it costs me about $35 and I get most of it back from private health. I will definitely have to check it out, as well as this Restavit. I will definitely ask my ob. Thanks also for the soup tip. I've got to try everything at least once. It's so funny how one day something is okay and then the next it's like poison. Damn hg...we've probably never been so challenged when it comes to something we all take for granted like 3 square meals a day. Tinkster23 Oh no, I am so sorry to hear it. Hg is literally the worst. So unforgiving and relentless. I'm really sorry that medication doesn't really seem to work for you. I don't know how you've done it two previous times but you have and you made it, somehow. I wish I knew the answers... doctorseuss Oh wow, I just love hearing your happy baby Sage stories. So comforting that she is a happy and thriving, relaxed baby. Joy x 10,000,000. #10Posted 06 April 2012 - 07:09 PM
Hi everyone,
been ages since i had a look here!! Doctor seuss ..so glad to hear how well baby Sage is doing My little Noelle is also a very calm happy easy baby, chubby too! she sleeps quite well at night, she goes down about 8pm and then wakes at 4.30am for a feed then back down til 6 am ish , feed, then in the bed with me snacking while i keep sleeping til 8am. Only cat naps int he day, but she stays pretty happy tho. Tinkster.. Its awful when you miss the toilet i remember doing that last pregnancy... i disticntly remember my 2 yr old was watching Roary the Racing Car and i had the most sudden urge to spew ever! got up to race to the loo and ended up spewing all over the carpet of the lounge room, bedroom . then had to clean it up. Poor DD was trying to help me. Awful yucky times. hugs to you. It will pass!!! Camizebra.. We all know how you feel. Its a constant mental battle as well as a physical one with HG. your life basically just comes to a hault for those months and you start to think "why did i do this???" i remember just looking in the mirror at this grey face looking back at me, gaunt, unwashed /brushed hair thinking..will i ever be "glowing"? . Its normal to feel that way. Dont worry about the feelings transferring to the baby, once you meet him/her you will melt. Keep up with the fluids and whatever you can stomach as best you can. Little bites of whatever you feel like. Hope it eases soon Edited by bettymm, 06 April 2012 - 07:10 PM. #11Posted 06 April 2012 - 07:38 PM
CamiZebra i am sorry to hear you have HG. All the feelings you have are normal. I desperately wanted it to end anyway it could. You wont build up a tolerance to the Zofran it's not an addictive drug. But hopefully it keeps you functional on some level.
Tinkster hope you get some better days soon. You poor thing. Bettymm and drseuss so glad but envious of your good night sleepers. Estella hates sleeping nights and wakes frequently still. Estella is 10 months old now. Hard to believe. She crawls, stands and has teeth. #12Posted 06 April 2012 - 08:27 PM
Oh Tinkster how horrible!!! If it's any consolation, I have also not made it to the toilet several times with DD1, and then had to clean it up. And incontinence while vomiting was pretty common towards the end of each pregnancy...My pelvic floor is now perfect again...yay. I think it's very hard to contract the right muscles while vomiting with a big baby bump.
So pleased to hear about Noelle and Estella. It is so worth it. #13Posted 06 April 2012 - 08:37 PM
Hi Girls,
I hope you don't mind me popping in here. I was never diagnosed with HG but did spend the first 20 weeks of my pregnancy vomiting up to 8 times a day and spending the rest of the time extremely nauseous and feeling generally rubbish. Before 20 weeks I could eat very little and had lost weight by then (not too much of a concern as I was a bit overweight to start). I lived on fruit and juice. I was on both maxalon and zofran up until 20 weeks and my nausea continued for most of my pregnancy. I don't know what the official diagnosis of HG is but some of your stories sound very very familiar to what I went through. I just had a question for those who went ahead with a second (or third or forth etc) baby. When did you decided to TTC again, how big an age gap did you have and how did you manage? Was the pregnancy the same (or worse!) rather than better? I am expecting to be as sick or worse again and just thinking ahead. My son is 15 months at the moment and I work 1 day out of the home and then run a business from home (but it is very very flexible). My son is not very good at entertaining himself and isn't a TV fan so I'm just thinking through a plan of attack for next time. Last time I ended up taking extended periods off work as I just couldn't function. Not exactly an option with my current lack of sick leave arrangements in my role as SAHM Thanks so much for reading this far! #14Posted 06 April 2012 - 08:44 PM QUOTE (tinkster23 @ 05/04/2012, 11:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> New low.

Oh tinkster I really really really feel for you. This happened to me twice during my pregnancy. I ended up sitting in the shower balling my eyes out. Oh hun, I just want to give you a huge hug xx #15Posted 06 April 2012 - 08:49 PM
Re the Zofran, not sure how much Chemist warehouse is but I used to get 10 wafers (4mg) for $40 from the pharmacy at the hospital which was a lot cheaper than I'd seen other places
#16Posted 06 April 2012 - 08:56 PM
Hi mtilly,
Definitely sounds like HG! Each pregnancy was slightly less vomiting but mentally harder... Not sure why, maybe because i always wanted a child but going again was not essential, maybe because I knew it wouldn't end until delivery by DD3 but first two times I always thought it must be about to end. Anyway I pretty much convinced myself and DH that it would be better, I'd take more drugs, maybe have a boy.... But each time I was wrong. I didn't take zofran with DD1, only took it from 14 weeks once a day with DD2, took it from 7 weeks up to 3 times a day with DD3. DD2 is 20 months younger than DD1, but DD1 was a lovely calm baby and areliable sleeper day and night so we coped. DD3 is 3 years younger than DD2, but the girls go to childcare 3-4 days a week (and I worked shift work) so if I was too sick to work I would be home alone. They have watched more ABC2 than I am comfortable with but I did my best I could with the illness I had. And in the end it is worth it. (well 3 times, never again) There is a lovely lady with 5 kids and terrible HG, hopefully she'll come in and tell you how she can do it. #17Posted 06 April 2012 - 09:05 PM
Thanks doctorsauss. I have a son, is HG normally worse with girls? Ahhh... hoping for a boy again then!!
My son is a good day sleeper but still wakes once at night for a feed. He was a really really difficult young baby (severe reflux, dreadful sleeper etc). He's still medicated for reflux but it is fairly well manages now. We were thinking maybe 2.5 years between babies, close enough I could still nap during the pregnancy when he naps but not so close that he's totally dependent on me (ie he could feed himself etc). It's such a hard decision because I remember feeling like I would NEVER EVER go again and even after he was born I felt the same but in reality we'd really love 3 kids. #18Posted 07 April 2012 - 12:40 PM
Mtilly my sister had a boy and had HG and I had a girl and had HG. What they have found is if your sister had HG you are 17 times more likely to have it. If your mum had it 3 times more likely. Usually subsquent pregnancies are worse but some people can have a HG free pregnancy for a second one and then have it return for a third pregnancy.
I wont be finding out as I am only having the one. #19Posted 07 April 2012 - 12:51 PM
mtilly. you had hg, i'm willing to bet its in your medical notes somewhere.
I've had hg 4 times. 2 year age gap between 1 and 2. i needed help for dd1, couldn't do it by myself. ' dd2's hg was worse than dd1's and lasted 4 weeks longer. preg 3 the hg was horrific. the pregnancy did not continue. dd3 the hg was the "best" out of all though it lasted the longest by 4 weeks. i coped looking after dd1 and 2 though there was a couple of weeks where the were thrown packets of cheezels and dh had to come home early for those 2 weeks so they could get dinner. #20Posted 07 April 2012 - 09:24 PM
Thanks girls, it sounds like I won't know until I'm there! I think I'll be back here when the time comes
#21Posted 07 April 2012 - 10:32 PM
Camizebrav I'm sorry you're going through that, all I can say is that I had all of those dark feelings too and sometimes I got myself through the tough times by telling myself that next Monday I'd get an abortion if I needed to, then Monday would come and I'd tell myself I'd test it out for another week. All I can suggest is availing yourself to every possible kind of support that you can, and making sure that you ask for help from medical people and those in your life who you love, and keeping your eyes on the prize. Also I found distractions really helped, so whatever works for you... something to take your mind off it even if just for 20 minutes. You'll find the ladies here amazingly supportive. I don't think I would have gotten through it so well without EB.
tinkster23 I'm so sorry. I remember those days well. They pass but they do last an eternity. I hope you're getting through the worst of it all now. It's just so unfair that you have to go through this and if I could take it away from you I would. You'll get there one day at a time. #22Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:07 PM
Hi all,
Sorry i haven't been on for ages but just wanted to quickly update you all. Piper Grace was born via c-section this morning weighing 7 pounds 4 ounces and 48 cm long.

Thinking of you all, sorry to those still on the hg journey. j-a #23Posted 15 April 2012 - 09:38 AM
Hi ladies! Been ages since I was on last. Thought I'd swing by a give you all some hugs.
I know how tough it is. You're all doing great. J-A, WAHOOO!!! That's soooo fantastic. Congratulations to be through HG hell and have you're gorgeous bub! Everyone else still on the HG rollercoaster -- many hugs, thoughts, parayers. xxx #24 Guest_HopeFaithLove_*Posted 17 April 2012 - 01:11 PM

Hi all, I haven't been in for a few months. I feel I didn't really belong seeing as how I was feeling half normal during my second trimester.
I'm so sorry some of you are still suffering so badly. I have been fairly lucky in the fact that I can get through the days feeling almost normal, my only lagging symptom is heaving in the mornings. Most mornings I struggle to keep my breakfast down and all I can do is lie down until it passes. I'm usually feeling pretty good by about 9-10am. I'm very much looking forward to getting this kid out. Only 6 weeks to go!! Hopefully a bit sooner. It's so frustrating when people ask how you are going and they just don't understand how miserable this feeling is. I feel so sorry for those of you are sick all day for 9 months. I remember in the beginning how depressed I was feeling because I knew what to expect. And going though those first 3-4 months felt like torture. I was in such a dark place, I regretted my decision to fall pregnant again, and if there was an abortion pill sitting in front of me, I would have taken it. But I feel so good that I have gotten through it, and so glad that I didn't do anything I would have regretted. I can't wait to meet my little boy, to see his face and hold him for the first time. Anyway, sorry for rambling. Congratulations to all of you who have had your babies. And I'm so glad you are all able to move on with your lives and enjoy your family. I can't wait to feel like me again, and do things with my daughter. hopefaithlove I'm so sorry for what you have suffered. I wish I had some advice on how to mentally prepare yourself for another pregnancy, but I don't I'm sorry. I think this is the sole reason we will not go back again. 2 times is enough, I couldn't possibly go through another pregnancy and come out the other end mentally/emotionally unscathed. I hope someone here has some good advice for you. 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

I chose to make the Slip-On Jumper Dress offered by Indygo Junction for free in this design challenge. I love vintage dresses.
The pattern is very basic giving lots of room for changes to make it your own. I chose to add black satin at the neckline and hemline to add to my dress. I used the belt of the Burdastyle Heidi dress rather than the simple tie belt of the pattern. Buttons were added to make the sleeves more fitted and to add detail at the neckline.

Questions & Answers
Umbra Penguin Soap Pump
Cool dispenser Kim from Bellevue, WA– Verified Buyer So far so good - the first liquid soap I used was too thin and would gum up in the pump, getting clogged when pumped and then it would spurt out randomly when the clog broke. Total mess. The thicker soap I am using now seems to not clog. These are bigger than I thought, I'd love them slightly smaller but overall really like the design. |
No problems yet Susan from CA– Verified Buyer So far, to the extent that we've used them, they've been great. They work fine with the foaming soap we bought and they've been a conversation peice. |
Best Soap Pump Ever Dana from FORT WORTH, TX– Verified Buyer This is a soap pump unlike any other I've ever owned. The entire colored sheath unscrews to reveal a clear plastic container that holds 15 oz of soap. I bought mine in matte black, and I think it's one of the best modern designs I've seen in a while. |

Hey everyone!
So... I've been successfully tracking my food since Saturday, and let me say, while it is annoying to keep up with (even though, I know... I have the app on my phone), it is DEFINITELY keeping me in check!!
For example: last night actually; my boyfriend and I went out to a local hole-in-the-wall bar for trivia night. While there, he ate a grilled chicken sandwich (I ate before we left), and then as the night went on said he was hungry and would probably make a pizza when we got home.
I thought ok, that's all well and good, I still have a few hundred cals to play around with. But the more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to physically log the pizza into my tracker. So we get home, and we're both engrossed in online reading/video games (we're awesome lol) and I said, well babe... I'm hungry, so I'm going to have an apple w/ some PB. Want one? To which he said yes, and the pizza never came up.
Then today we laid around at the pool for awhile and went grocery shopping. He went to school at 4, and then I decided to kick my butt into a run (after complaining to myself that it was hot out) and did the same route I took Saturday. I pushed myself to run the whole way to the turn-around point instead of stopping before (even though sometimes the red lights prevent that).
Got home and was about to start dinner when one of the shift managers from work called and said she desperately needed help and would I want to come in. I said yes since my hours suck this week, and inhaled a bowl of chicken taco chili (thank you crock-pot meal!!). Just got home about an hour ago, and I'm only sitting at 1,300 cals for the day. I had a turkey, spinach, and banana pepper sandwich that is basically my go-to and HOLY cow is it more sodium-ridden than I anticipated! I'll have to watch that more for sure. Although, part of the over-kill for the day was Nate stopped for a protein bar at the gas station, and he also got a taquito which he shared (and yes, I did track!) and the sodium from that was pretty high.
Buuuuut all of that said and done, I have been doing AWESOME with my water intake, and I think with how much I sweat out during runs and then the increased water, I shouldn't feel TOO too much of the sodium bloat (I hope!)
Quote of the Day:
LAUGH like you're 10
PARTY like you're 20
TRAVEL like you're 30
THINK like you're 40
ADVISE like you're 50
CARE like you're 60
LOVE like you're 70
We can ALL learn something from each other :)

Love all the different health related apps available. I like the Nike one for working out and the spark app for nutrition is good as well. WTG with doing so well on water and everything else.

Seems like you're doing all right... I'm getting back on track again and it is not easy. I can't seem to find the time to track lately, but I pretty much know if I'm on track or not because I have been tracking long enough to know what effect certain kinds of foods will have on my nutrition for the day. I think I probably should track the next few days though because I will not be eating my normal foods. My fridge broke so I'm stuck eating things that are packaged and don't require refigeration. Oddly enough my freezer seems to be in good shape...
Congrats on staying mostly on track and having fun in the meantime. It is nice when your boyfriend can support your healthy lifestyle. I was so happy when my boyfriend actually wanted to do something healthy yesterday. We went for a run and then came back and had a nice healthy dinner.

We first got a tease last month, now Crestron has announced that they are shipping the MediaManifold, a 12-zone bidrectional CATV distribution amplifier. A compatible Cable Analyzer is shipping as well, but unless you're an installer you won't get to touch it—and probably won't want to anyway.
The big deal about the MediaManifold MM-DS-12 is that is claims to be the first 12-zone bidrectional CATV distribution amp that has individual gain and tilt adjustment. It also replaces all of those splitters, amps, cables and other parts of a distribution system that might be cluttering up your house.
Designed for RG-6 homeruns up to 300 feet, this device can crisp clear signals (including those from a security camera) to any TV in the home. Other features include:
As with all Crestron products, you're going to have to call an installer to get pricing as well as the product.
Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
The 6-driver Paradigm soundbar includes Bluetooth with aptX streaming and several audio modes.
High-performance audio upgrades topped this homeowner's renovation and home automation to-do list.
