Dave Watson used to run Kind Care Medical Marijuana Dispensary, until he was shut down along with roughly 20 other dispensaries in town.
And then, Tuesday night happened.
"It was real emotional. A lot of people are real proud about it," Watson said, referring both to Amendment 64 and the ballot measure in Fort Collins to once again allow medical marijuana dispensaries.
Watson isn't the only one who is interested in re-opening a marijuana business.
"There is a lot of interest out there in the community as far as folks asking how, when, where can I open a business," Wanda Nelson, Fort Collins City Clerk, said.
She says dispensaries might open in as early as a few months, although local law enforcement officials are looking at what happens after that.
"Amendment 64 has made medical marijuana dispensaries, in my opinion, a mute point," Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith said.
He has been against legalizing marijuana from the start, though Smith says they won't try another ballot initiative to ban dispensaries in town.
He says the larger issue is how to enforce Amendment 64, a conversation that is happening at all levels of government.
"The last time you saw a challenge probably this big would have been 1861 when the Civil War started. There was that issue of state's rights versus federalism," Smith said.
In the meantime, those like Dave Watson are hoping to re-open their businesses soon.
"I think the way the trend will go is switching over to recreational facilities," Watson said.

A Warm Welcome-------
"I felt like the neighborhood was lacking in stores that you just want to hang out in and see what the other girls are wearing," said PR veteran Winnie Beattie (pictured, left) last night at the opening party for her new Nolita boutique, Warm. A self-described "urban hippie," Beattie grew up in Hawaii and met her husband, Rob Magnotta, while surfing in Montauk, so she wanted to create a personal, sunny environment for her store. Inside, you'll find hard-to-find labels like Yvonne Sporre and Roseanna, as well as more recognizable ones such as Vanessa Bruno and Jérôme Dreyfuss, along with kids' clothes and home goods."[It's] dirty French girl meets SoCal," she said of the aesthetic.
Indeed, the small space feels like a tropical oasis, with the help of fragrant Coqui Coqui candles and oils as well as the fruity shave ice (and Champagne) that was served to guests at last night's fête. Street-style favorite Hanne Gaby Odiele, who lives down the block from Warm, hosted the gathering and was expectedly dressed-to-the-nines in a Proenza Schouler jacket and Balenciaga hot shorts (Warm sent her some merchandise to wear but alas, her sub-sample-size frame was too small for it). Odiele invited along a slew of her catwalk friends, which made for some premium model gawking, with the likes of Kasia Struss, Julia Nobis, Kate King, Andie Arthur, and adorable couple Sheila Marquez and Christian Brylle all in attendance. "We'll definitely be spending a lot of time in here," Odiele, who was hanging out on the couches in the back with her model clan, told Style.com. In anticipation of that, Beattie reported she's got in-store manicure sessions and more parties in the backyard planned for the near future.

LadyCats edge Roughriders
It wasn't much but it was enough to give the LadyCats a 49-44 victory.
Kylie Osterhage led the LadyCats with 11 markers and Elizabeth Turnwald 10. They canned 18-of-42 shots (2-of-9 treys) for 43 percent and 11-of-17 freebies (65%). They assumed 24 boards (8 offensive) and 22 turnovers.
The Lady Roughriders notched 14-of-32 fielders (3-of-5 downtown) for 44 percent and 13-of-17 at the line (76%). They collected 17 boards (3 offensive) and 27 errors.
Kalida won the junior varsity matchup 47-14.
Free throw shooting was the big difference in the game, with Crestview firing away at a 74-percent clip (17-of-23), while the Rams were an icy 38 percent (6-of-16), but there was a lot more to this game than that.
The Knights' sensational freshman Emily Bauer nailed a putback of her own miss with 14 seconds left in the third period to put Crestview on top to stay, 39-37. However, the Knights' lead was a precarious one throughout the fourth quarter.
Another Bauer layup (assist Mariah Henry) with 4:05 left in the game got the lead all the way up to 49-43 but then things got shaky for the visitors. A Ram free throw, then a layup off a Knight turnover, closed the margin to 49-46 but Bauer calmly nailed two freebies -- 51-46 at 3:22. Tinora's deadly (from the field) point guard, Erica Smay, hit from the left elbow but, after a Crestview miss, Smay was errant on two free throws to keep it at 51-48. Knight sophomore Lindsey Motycka, who had played an outstanding game up to that point, fouled out on the play that sent Smay to the stripe.
Kirstin Hicks hit the 7th and 8th in the Knights' string of 11 straight fourth quarter free throws -- 53-48 -- but Smay treyed from the left wing to cut it to two. Bauer hit a dandy reverse layup on the break but Tinora's Breanna Hughes banked in a three from the left side and it was back to 55-54 at the 1:22 mark. Hicks canned two more from the stripe, then Tinora's Rachel Wachtman and Crestview's Henry each split a pair at the line to keep it a 1-possession game -- 58-55 at 0:23. The Knights' Kennis Mercer misfired on both ends of a double bonus but Smay's game-tying three was partially blocked and Henry snared the board, adding another free throw at the end.
The first half was even more of a defensive donnybrook than the second, with shots hard to get, though usually going in when they came. Tinora was 9-for-16 (56%) in the first 16 minutes, Crestview 8-of-14 (57%). There were only 10 rebounds to be had -- six by the visitors, four by the home team. The Knights led only once -- at 13-12 -- in that half.
The third period was a good one for the Knights, as they netted 9-of-16 fielders, with five of those baskets coming from Bauer. Tinora was still hot as well, nailing 5-of-11 field goal tries. There were six ties and three lead changes during those eight minutes.
The young Knights (Henry is the only senior) shot remarkably from the field (55% on 21-of-38) in the game, as well as from the line. They also won the board battle 23-15, although the Rams got the better of the turnovers, 16-23. Tinora shot a solid 47 percent (21-of-45) from the field for the game; those numbers included seven treys. The Rams' extended man defense kept Crestview from shooting from beyond the arc at all.
Bauer and Motycka led Knight scorers with 22 and 11. Smay had 17 for Tinora.

2009 MWC Preview and your expectations
Why Utah will win the Mountain West... ...And why they won't.
Utah seems like a lock for the NCAA Tournament, but is there a scenario where they get left out?
Utes beat UNLV and now turn their focus to rival BYU. Can they win in Provo and wrap up at least a share of the conference crown?
Utes, Rams, Tonight!
Who'd have thought at the beginning of the season the Utes and Aztecs would be playing for sole possession of first place in February? I'm guessing not many, since San Diego State and Utah were...
Utes take a trip to Wyoming...can they continue their quest for a conference crown?
Utah might be facing San Diego State this Saturday, but that doesn't mean we can't look past them and toward BYU.
The official Mountain West media predictions have not been released (you can expect them by next month), however, that won't stop me from looking at the real conference contenders. Because I really...

An AT&T ad executive hangs up the phone, grabs his jacket, and heads toward the subway to Hell's Kitchen. It's the late '80s, and at the New York comedy institution The Improv, a slew of up-and-coming talent, including Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock, are testing jokes and honing timing. In the next few years, they'll perform on television for millions. But for now, they're changing the life of one ad executive.
The founder of LA Stand-Ups, Joe Falzarano, quit his promising advertising career because he "hated being a suit" and preferred to nurture promising young comedians. With accomplishments that include producing the CableACE Award–winning Caroline's Comedy Hour for A&E, Falzarano helped launch the performing and writing careers of entertainers including Jon Stewart and Louis C.K. Today, Falzarano imparts his more than 20 years of industry experience to aspiring joke-tellers, teaching them tactics for perfecting a punch line, calming nerves, and subduing hecklers with a marshmallow gun. Falzarano maintains a supportive atmosphere where students learn how to use who they are to connect with an audience, and even lets students try out material at the Hollywood Improv.
Beside the Rhine River in Germany or in sun-soaked fields in Tuscany and California, vines grow heavy with ripe fruit. These jewel-toned morsels fill bottles at PRP Wine International, whose consultants then share the global terroir during special events and private tastings at home. Each staff member has a library of facts about wine production and consumption on the tip of their tongue, as well as several varieties of corkscrews hanging from their mandated utility belt. An online shop organizes varietals, such as montepulciano and gewürztraminer, by their taste profile and country of origin, and sparkling wines are searchable by price point. To deepen their client's connection to their favorite bottle, they may either be etched or emblazoned with custom labels that commemorate an event or deliver a dry thank you.
Since discovering her love of drawing as a little girl, Shabnam Zafarmand has turned art into her life's work. Over the years, she has participated in international art shows, won oil-painting contests, and even taught art at a middle school—an experience that certainly comes in handy at Mission Art Center. There, Shabnam has shared her artistic wisdom with both children and adults since opening in 2005. Though she specializes in realistic and portraiture oil painting, Shabnam doesn't limit the Center's curriculum to just that. She also leads classes in acrylic, watercolor, sketching, and drawing in an effort to broaden the creative abilities of burgeoning artists of all ages.

Exercise is challenging, and people frequently give up on their fitness routines. How do you keep clients motivated?
Both yoga and Zumba students enjoy a scenic, hillside studio where distractions fall away and they can tap into self-discipline to help them move toward their lifestyle choices. Class sizes are limited so students receive individualized guidance, and all programs are directed by a licensed psychotherapist/certified yoga instructor, and certified Zumba/Zumba Gold instructor.
Sweating to the oldies is acceptable, but sweating to the blues less so. Do you find that certain styles and genres of music generate more intense workouts?
Music with which students connect is key in getting the best results quickly from Zumba. Latin-based hits that students recognize lifts workout intensity and does not feel like a workout. This Zumba program increases strength and cardiovascular health while teaching real dance steps each student can use in social settings.
Do you run your gym according to a particular exercise philosophy?
Whether yoga or Zumba, students practice in a community where there is no judgment or comparison. Each person works within their own set of personal goals and intentions. Proper form and alignment are encouraged to minimize risk of injury for all students. Only the human body and forces of gravity are used for these programs so students reap maximum effectiveness in the studio or practicing anywhere on their own.
Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
[Our] studio emphasizes optimal wellness through movement based on hatha yoga and Zumba dance, and through the synthesis of Western and Eastern philosophies, including the art of meditation. [The] studio is also home to Argentine tango, salsa and cha cha cha, taught by a professional dance couple.
Arthur Murray Dance Studio has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with an instructor as the teachers assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.
During parties at Hullabaloo's Partyhouse, kids clamber into a clubhouse that hangs on the limbs of a plastic tree before taking turns zooming down a twisty slide. Kids can belt out their favorite songs from Jethro Tull's Christmas album on a karaoke stage, while elsewhere toddlers play with puppets and toys in their own exclusive area. Parents keep an eye on their offspring's activity by joining in the fun or observing from stadium-style seats. The facility is also open for Open Play on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Betancourt Nutrition - Creatine Micronized Unflavored - 1.16 lbs. (525 g)
Betancourt Nutrition Micronized Creatine delays your fatigue, boosts your power output, and maximizes absorption. Betancourt Nutrition Micronized Creatine supports increases in strength, muscle mass and volume by reducing myostatin for triggering muscle growth. Creatine Monohydrate stands today as one of the most researched and effective stand alone supplements in the sports nutrition industry.
Betancourt Nutrition's Creatine Monohydrate is manufactured in their NSF certified cGMP facility in Miami, Florida. This ensures that their facilities comply with all Food and Drug Administration regulations and requirements for the manufacturing of nutritional supplements. Every single raw material used in their products is identity tested before production at a minimum and all finished products are submitted to rigorous quality control and assurance processes and procedures prior to being released to inventory. Guaranteeing the quality and safety of every bottle of Betancourt Nutrition product continues to be at the core of their business and their vision.
Creatine: The Latest Info on CreatineCreatine supplementation provides an extensive list of well known benefits which include improving explosive bouts of exercise, decreasing myostatin levels and increasing muscle mass without side effects when taken properly.
However, there is a lot to creatine that you may not be aware of. If you've heard of myostatin, then you know that it is a protein in the body discovered in 1997 that is responsible for regulating muscle growth by inhibiting it. Based on genetics, there are myostatin levels that vary from person to person that can cause one to be a world class bodybuilder and another a hard gainer.
Everyone knew that creatine helped to increase strength, but was the increase in strength what lead to the gains in muscle? Or was it something else? Researchers from Tarbiat Modares University discovered that when combined with resistance training, creatine actually helped to inhibit serum levels of myostatin! This research comes as somewhat of a surprise, but the reason it was quickly accepted by many is that myostatin also worked by inhibiting satellite cell formation. And back in 2000, researchers from the University of Wisconsin Medical School discovered that creatine does the exact opposite of that. Satellite cells are mygenic cells responsible for postnatal growth and regeneration of skeletal muscle. Stimulating these cells through training and supplementation is of the utmost importance for lifters looking to build muscle.
Another important capability of creatine is its effect on recovery from high intensity exercise. You've heard of bodybuilders neglecting the use of creatine in the past because they weren't lifting for strength or power. They felt creatine was only effective for increasing strength (which as you've read so far, in only part of what creatine does) and it had no place in their 8-12 rep, high intensity bodybuilding program. It has long been tradition in many bodybuilding programs to use short rest periods, and because creatine takes upwards of 2 minutes to regenerate, some ill informed bodybuilders have not seen it as a necessary supplement in their regimen.
Well research begs to differ; high intensity anaerobic exercise is notorious for depleting muscle glycogen because carbohydrates are the main source of fuel for high intensity activities. Bodybuilders consume carbohydrates post exercise along with their protein to refill their muscles depleted stores of carbohydrates so they can return to the gym and lift with the same intensity. Bodybuilders may notice however that when they do heavy multi-joint lifts (like the squat, or the deadlift), or they lift at a slower pace, it takes them longer to recover. This is a result of the eccentric (lowering portion) phase of the lift which causes more muscle damage and inflammation; many experienced lifters know this already, wheat they may no know is that eccentric exercise also impairs glycogen replenishment.
Yet low and behold researchers from the Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics Laboratory of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium discovered that supplementing with creatine helps preserve muscle glycogen by increasing creatine utilization during exercise (the researchers used 5 g of creatine a day with no loading phase). In case you were wondering if creatine cycling was a real issue, the researchers found out the hard way as the increase in muscle glycogen they noted vanished after 5 weeks despite continued creatine supplementation. So cycling on and off creatine during your training cycles is still a good idea.
Why Supplements?Visit any highly-populated cosmopolitan city in the world. Walk down the busiest streets. You name the city, chances are you won't see many bodies flexing large, polished muscles. Exceptionally-built physiques are rare --perhaps 1 in 100,000.
Normal Begets NormalThe rarity of muscular bodies is easy to explain: It's not easy building muscle. To make your muscles bigger you must push them far beyond the normal physiological call of duty. Resistance exercise, the mainstay of bodybuilding training, seems to do the trick. After pushing your muscles "beyond normal" in the gym, however, you need to support them nutritionally to the same degree. It's here that dietary supplements can make your life much easier and more enjoyable.
Why Betancourt Nutrition?Long overdue is an intelligently rebellious company capable of saving the bodybuilding community from atrophy, not only of muscle but of mind. The goal of Betancourt Nutrition is to provide the hardcore bodybuilding nonconformist with an alternative to the homogenized sameness of the suburban supplement scenery by developing "addictively sweet" and "immediately anabolic" formulas capable of reliably re-charging the senses.
Training, recovering, building, improving Betancourt Nutrition has broken out of the soulless, tasteless mold of contemporary supplement formulas and made the achievement of these goals intensely real and flavorful. Setting Betancourt Nutrition further apart from the "herd" is the fact that it has its own manufacturing laboratory where its team of expert nutritional architects formulates, tests and certifies every supplement with the attention to detail, passion and dogged perseverance of makers of fine wine.
Betancourt Nutrition was founded by Jorge Betancourt in 2002 in Miami. Jorge is a husband, father and former National Physique Committee (NPC) bodybuilding champion athlete and media spokesperson with over 20 years of experience and a reputation for credibility.
About Jorge BetancourtIn the 1990s a young athletic prodigy from Miami by the name of Jorge "Chic" Betancourt emerged on the competitive bodybuilding scene. His long, full muscles, remarkable symmetry and sharp definition had never before been seen in someone so young.
Upon winning the Teenage USAs in 1989 and the Teenage Nationals in 1990, Jorge quickly became as popular a media figure as top professional bodybuilders vying for the Mr. Olympia title. He received hundreds of letters from fans around the world every week and made repeat appearances on ESPN's bodybuilding programs in addition to starring in the best-selling video Teen Wonderboy. In 1991, Jorge became the first and only teenager to win the Southern States, a prestigious regional bodybuilding competition. At 5'5" and 165 pounds, he handily defeated men as much as fifteen years older and seventy pounds heavier, proving that quality can supersede quantity. There was talk of him becoming one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.
Then, just as suddenly as Jorge had appeared on the scene, he vanished from it. Though most young men in his position would have blindly pursued more titles and trophies, Jorge shrewdly decided to make his mark on the business side of the bodybuilding industry. He built a successful personal training facility in exclusive Coral Gables where he employed a fully certified staff of personal trainers catering to south Florida's elite. In 2001 he decided that that he wanted to make a positive impact on the bodybuilding community by getting into the business of formulating dietary supplements for this unique breed of athlete.
Jorge relates: "I knew that with the knowledge and experience I had accumulated over the years, I could formulate an entirely unique line of supplements that would simplify and excite the serious bodybuilding athlete's life and provide him or her with results that can be seen and felt immediately. I'm known for having values that are consistent with my actions. I had no doubt that with the right people and technologies behind me I could build supplements with a reputation for the same."
Mix 5 grams of Creatine Micronized with water or juice either with a meal, post-workout, or pre-workout. Continue the use of Creatine on non-training days as well to maintain muscle saturation. Creatine levels will decline and return to normal after 30 days. Creatine supplementation is also important for the elderly to support lean mass and functional strength.
Loading & Cycling:If you're an athlete or advanced lifter who is interested in loading creatine to increase phosphate levels quickly, use 20 grams (4 servings) a day for the first 4-5 days. Discontinue use after 4 weeks, and repeat after at least 4 weeks of discontinued use. Creatine's effectiveness plateaus after 4-5 weeks of continous use.
If you are pregnant, nursing or taking any medications, consult your doctor before use. Discontinue use and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur.
Keep out of reach of children.
Fallacies of Creatine SupplementationCreatine is not good for outdoor sports: this is contradictory to the research. It is noramlly thought that creatine can lead to dehydration and muscular cramping. However, there isn't a research has shown however is that increased hydration levels in muscle lead to your body's ability to handle higher outdoor training levels. While it is true that your water requirement will go up due to increased intramuscular water, water has the ability to regulate temperature which will be to your advantage during outdoor activities. Creatine will also aid in boosting sports performance.

Its overall score is essentially the same as last year, with improvements in the control of government spending and monetary freedom offset by declines in freedom from corruption and labor freedom. Eritrea is ranked 45th out of the 46 countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa region.Eritrea scores very poorly in most components of the Index. Entrepreneurs have been pushed out of the formal market by an underdeveloped regulatory framework and weak property rights enforcement. Informal activity dominates outside the minerals sector and the government.Strong GDP growth has been led by increased foreign investment in the mining industry, but substantial mineral revenues benefit only a narrow segment of the population. The public sector remains the largest source of employment. Chronic deficits due to large military spending plague public finance, worsening fragile monetary stability. A repressive central government continues to marginalize the domestic private sector, perpetuating an uncertain investment climate, and U.N. economic sanctions have greatly increased risks for potential investors. Read more about Eritrea Economy. Close Background Eritrea won its independence from Ethiopia in 1993, but relations between the two countries remain hostile. President Isaias Afwerki has ruled without elections since 1993, and the ongoing conflict with Ethiopia makes elections unlikely. In March 2012, Ethiopia launched an incursion into Eritrea, citing Afwerki's support for terrorist activity as justification. Judicial independence is limited, and journalists and others have been held without trial for speaking against the government. In recent years, Eritrea has moved aggressively to reduce its reliance on external assistance. Aid relationships with some U.N. agencies and bilateral donors have been suspended or reduced, and information on conditions within the country has become scarce. Roughly three-quarters of Eritreans depend on small-scale agriculture and fishing, and it is believed that up to two-thirds of the population relies on government assistance for food. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 10.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 25.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The rule of law remains fragile and uneven, severely undermined by a weak and inefficient judicial system. Protection of property rights is poor. The government has a history of expropriating houses, businesses, and other private property without notice, explanation, or compensation. Pervasive corruption and cronyism continue to undermine efforts to improve the foundations of economic freedom. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 54.6 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 57.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The top income and corporate tax rates are 30 percent. The overall tax burden is estimated to be quite high, although taxation is erratic and poorly administered. Government spending is equivalent to 38.9 percent of total domestic output. The deficit has been chronically high at over 16.2 percent of GDP, and public debt amounts to more than 130 percent of total domestic income. Regulatory EfficiencyView Methodology Business Freedom 17.3 Create a Graph using this measurement Labor Freedom 54.6 Create a Graph using this measurement Monetary Freedom 55.5 Create a Graph using this measurement Procedures for establishing and running a business are opaque but costly. Published regulations are severely outdated, and the required minimum capital for launching a business equals over twice the annual average income. Labor regulations are not enforced effectively, and the underdeveloped labor market does a poor job of matching skills with needs. Monetary stability has been weak, and inflationary pressures continue.

The government-controlled economy is not attractive to foreign investment. Large-scale projects must be approved by the appropriate Office of the President. The financial system remains severely underdeveloped. All banks are majority-owned by the government, and private-sector participation in the system remains constrained.

Earthdance was magnificent chaos from the jump! The sun started to
set after Don Carlos left the stage, then glow sticks and freaks came
out for the night and filled the dome. One of the heaviest reactions
I have had for Afro Beat and the new funk sound. Dance for peace!

Our friends at Imeem just sent me this drop from Too Short….I had to post it.
Hey Everyone,
So today is the day!!!!!!!!!!!! I am getting ready right now as we
speak to head off to the airport. I am more than excited cause
today is my first record release party in San Francisco which is the
home of my record label Om Records anyway, wish I could stay and
chat a little bit longer but then I would miss my flight . Dad is
doing good and responding to the Chemotherapy thanks to all of your
prayers. I Love you guys and hope to see some of you tonight at
Harlot in SF.
Take Care,
S James.
I couldn't believe it when i saw this website, but it's true. There is a fantasy hip hop league where you can create your own label, sign producers, groups and mc's, manage tours and merch, set marketing budgets, work on distribution deals and set unit prices and help a & r albums. The best thing is that you compete head to head with other members and the model is based off real data for the most part. Check it out, i found a new hobby.
For all those prodcer and dj heads, Scratch Magazine is calling it quits. 3 years in existence and owned by the parent company Harris Publications (XXL), Scratch has announced today that it will be finishing things off with Timbaland and 50 cent on the cover including articles about Alchemist, 9th Wonder and RZA. Read the full story Here
Owner of Ecko and marketing genius just bought Barry Bonds' record breaking baseball. He's leaving it up to the fans to decide the fate. Your choices are giving it to the Hall of Fame, giving it to the Hall of Fame with an asterisk on it, or blasting it off into space in a rocket ship. You can voice you own opinion by clicking Here.
Good Morning Everyone,
Hope everyone is felling well this morning. I wanted to give you all a
little background story about my album and what inspired me in life (my
life) to write the songs that I did. I was waiting for the perfect moment
but it seems as if that moment is now. When I was about 5 years old my
mother Melanie Lee Rose was told that she had breast cancer. At the same
time that she was sick my parent's relationship was going down the drain and
they decided to call it quits, so for most of my childhood my mother,
sister, family exc….were trying to beat this horrible nasty disease
without having that strong foundation of a solid family. After an 8 year
long battle fighting for her life, being on and off of chemotherapy /
radiation, my Mom had finally lost her battle. I was 13 years old just about
to be 14. This was obviously a very confusing difficult time in my life and
would be for any young girl just getting into her teenage years. I would
deal with the pain the only way I knew how which was to escape the pain. I
started going to Raves at the age of 15 years old where the music along with
the all of the other things which are included when going to a rave, became
the way that I coped. Finally after 3 straight years of living my life for
the next party, I realized that there was so much more to experience in
life. I was ready to really start living. I had finally realized that all
these years I had been running to escape the fact that my Mommy wasn't here
any more, in actuality she never really left. Now at 18 years old I was
starting to wake up to the fact that my Mom was still here. That her
spirit/energy was surrounding and following me where ever I would go. With
this new found knowledge I started my musical journey. I knew that I was
supposed to make music and share what I had experienced with others. After a
9 year long journey of discovery, learning and living I had finally received
the knowledge and experience that was needed to complete my first album.
The entire process was so healing for me and I know why. So here I am just
days away from the release and my Father has now been told that he has
Cancer. He is in the hospital at the moment fighting Lukemia and seems to be
responding to the chemotherapy very well. We could really use all of your
prayers and positive thoughts. My Dad is a strong man and has a lot of life
left to live so I know that with all of your prayers he will get through
this. Thank you all for listening. I'll keep you posted on further progress.
S James

Hi everyone! I am 28 weeks, I am working hard to control my diabetes but sometime it isn't enough. I don't want to have higher BG but it is difficult to avoid it. What are you doing to keep on target your BG? My OB recommended me to be on 90-120 before and after meals. I have Medtronic insulin pump and dexcom. There are awesome. They help me a lot to figure out all changing I have to do every day but I need more tips to keep improve. Please, let mw know some of your tips. Thank you !!!!
Hi everyone,
So glad to be hear and meeting other women pregnant with type one. I had my first baby over a year ago and am planning my second pregnancy now.
Can anyone relate to that 2 week wait... when you think you might be pregnant but aren't sure because pregnancy tests won't be correct yet?
Just went through that last month... and now we are trying again... I had to really be careful to not have any lows for the last few weeks because I was having so many when we thought I could be pregnant.

Hello Everyone! I just joined a few days ago, and already am sooo glad that I have. I am 33 and 5 weeks pregnant with T1. I had a miscarriage 3 months ago and now am in sheer terror of it happening again. My a1c is "okay", but definitely not amazeballs lol Looking to these forums for any advice or help I can get along the way :)
Hi I have watched this group off and on for the last year to learn more about being a preg t1. Now my son is 5 m old:)
I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my third child and running low all day the last few days. I'm struggling with a lot of nausea/vomiting as well. My first time around was very similar and ended up in the hospital several times. I have an appointment in 3 days with my endo and we'll adjust my doses then but what tips do any of you have for until then on keeping my numbers up when eating is close to impossible.
If anyone is interested, I started a "Mommies with Diabetes" group on Facebook. I certainly don't want to take anything away from this group, I know some prefer different social media mediums over others. Here's a link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/454823871283227/
Hi! I have watched this group off and on for the last few years to learn more about being a preg t1, and now here I am at 25 weeks wondering why I haven't been reading everyday lately :) So great to have a place to turn. I have been a t1 for about 28yrs. Been on a pump about 4yrs. I just got back from my 2nd loooooong ultrasound and echocardiogram. All is well with me and the baby. Lots of testing. lots of basal changing. Its a constantly moving target, but Im doing it. But I got my A1C down to the best its ever been. :) And I feel really good about that. This is a lot of work. But I have a great little team of and Endo-OB-GYN and a rockstar diabetes educator. I had my last ultrasound and echo (bc I'm 39 too!) about a month ago. And they couldn't get all the heart pics they wanted so they had me go back. And today again , they couldn't really get all the pics they wanted. An ultrasound dr came in (not my usual Endo-OB/GYN)to ask me if I was ok with them not getting all the pics they wanted. Huh?? And it just felt like they are SEARCHING and SEARCHING for a problem. And nothing is wrong! Thank god. The dr admitted they are a little anal about these things for people "like me," and I felt my blood pressure rising. I was so scared to get preg, and then so far, I really have to count my blessings, because all has been good! And most of my fears about actually doing this have minimized too. Until today when this ultrasound tech is poking and prodding and trying to get our little girl to turn around/over so they can take more pics of her heart. And then it just felt so unfair to have this big HIGH RISK label stamped all over, with t1 and my age. Sigh. And now its not just me, but affecting her. Is anyone else struggling with this kind of thing?

The Mexico Beach City Council is a few steps closer to hiring a new city clerk. The position has been a controversial topic since the former city clerk resigned in Mid-March.
The city council reviewed more than a dozen applications earlier this month but didn't make any decisions.
However, on Monday night, they discussed applications and agreed on a salary range.
The city would pay between about $41,000 and $56,000 a year based on the new hire's qualifications.
The council also discussed the type role the new city clerk would play. Councilwoman Tanya Castro says she's looking for someone with a strong financial background.
"I would like to see a CPA doing it. I know cities are moving towards that. This gives us an opportunity to do that. Why we wouldn't even consider it or look at it, I don't know why we wouldn't. I think we should," said Castro.
The council did narrow the applicants down to six. Interviews could be scheduled in the coming weeks.

Learning Spanish vocabulary can seem so easy: Constitutición means "constitution," nación means "nation," and decepción means "deception," right?
Not quite. True, most words that end in -ción can be translated into English by changing the suffix to "-tion." And the pattern holds true for the first two words listed above (although constitución refers to how something is constituted more often than does the English word, which usually refers to a political document). But una decepción is a disappointment, not a deception.
Spanish and English have literally thousands of cognates, words that are basically the same in both languages, having the same etymology and similar meanings. But combinations such as decepción and "deception" are so-called false cognates — known more precisely as "false friends" or falsos amigos — word pairs that look like they might mean the same thing but don't. They can be confusing, and if you make the mistake of using them in speech or writing you're likely to be misunderstood.
Following is a list of some of the most common false friends — some of the ones you're mostly likely to come across when reading or listening to Spanish:
Actual: This adjective (or its corresponding adverb, actualmente) indicates that something is current, at the present time. Thus the day's hot topic might be referred to as un tema actual. If you wish to say something is actual (as opposed to imaginary), use real (which also can mean "royal") or verdadero.
Asistir: Means to attend or to be present. Asisto a la oficina cada día, I go to the office daily. To say "to assist," use ayudar, to help.
Atender: Means to serve or to take care of, to attend to. If you're talking about attending a meeting or a class, use asistir.
Basamento: You won't run across this word often, but it's the base of a column, sometimes called a plinth. If you want to visit a basement, go down to el sótano.
Billón: 1,000,000,000,000. That number is the same as a trillion in American English but a billion in traditional British English. In other words, billón is a cognate in London but a false cognate in New York.
Bizarro: Somebody's who's this way is brave, not necessarily strange. The English word "bizarre" is conveyed better by extraño or estrafalario.
Boda: If you go to a wedding or wedding reception, this is what you're going to. A body (as of a person or animal) is most often cuerpo or tronco.
Campo: Means a field or the country (in the sense of living in the country, not the city). If you're going camping, you'll probably be staying at a campamento or even a camping.
Carpeta: Although this can refer to a type of table cover, it doesn't have anything to do with carpets. It most often means a file folder (including the virtual kind) or a briefcase. "Carpet" is most often alfombra.
- Complexión: This refers not to your skin, but to one's physiological build (a well-built man is un hombre de complexión fuerte). To speak of skin complexion, use tez or cutis.
