Truly Our Own.
Yes – that's right…this wedding has horses. I can virtually hear the ooohs and awwws from here. I think Steph and Tom's venue may be one of the most idyllic I've ever seen and luckily the British weather held out for their ceremony. Everything just looks so beautiful bathed in the Spring sunshine.
Steph and Tom seemed to keep the music pumping, the food coming and the drink flowing all day long – they even had a late-night campfire with marshmallow toasting. I know. AMAZING.
I'll pass you over to Steph who makes a very stylish Bride in her fitted lace gown – which by the way she rocks in the unusual champagne tone. It works so perfectly with her skin tone. AND it was the first dress she tried on!
Winding Country Roads
Steph the Bride: The perfect venue was at Clavelshay Barn, North Petherton near Taunton. Tom and I had spotted it online and thought it was worth a visit and were definitely not disappointed. We knew on the first visit that it would be perfect. Winding country roads, humming birds, sweeping hills, cows and quaint country houses , beautiful gardens … and a chance to make something truly our own. Sue who owns the venue was also a lovely and very genuine host who went above and beyond to help us create our special day.
Timeless Glamour
Hair and makeup wise I was inspired by 1950's classic glamour as for me it's timeless and would really compliment my dress.… View the full post.

Once Upon A Time In The Essex Sunshine.
When I was little I dreamed of being a Princess when I grew up. Things probably haven't changed to be honest – the images of the beautiful Princess Maxima of the Netherlands from the recent Dutch inauguration made my eyes light up. The stunning Valentino gown worn by Princess Madeleine of Sweden for her wedding day made me swoon with envy. And today's images of Bride Anna are equally as gorgeous. She looks like what I dreamt a Bride should look like. Anna looks like a Princess. And if there is any day of your life when you deserve to look and feel like a Princess – your wedding day is most definitely it.
Today's fairytale affair took place in the glorious Essex sunshine and was captured forever by the fabulous M&J Photography.
A Breathtaking Driveway
Going up the driveway to Braxted Park really took our breath away; so we knew straight away we'd love to get married there. Laura, who showed us round was so lovely and really filled us with confidence. All the staff there made the whole process so easy and they were always really quick to reply to our many e-mails!
Beehives And Black Eyeliner
I went for a 60′s inspired look for myself and my bridesmaids with beehives and black eyeliner. I was inspired by the Louis Vuitton SS13 catwalk! My make-up artist, Katie Gulley was amazing and really enthusiastic about creating our looks. I was advised to buy a new perfume for the wedding so that the scent would always remind me of the day.… View the full post.

The Garden Of Eden.
It's Friday. It's Summer. And we are going to give you one hell of a beautiful garden wedding.
Outdoor ceremony?
An abundance of beautiful blooms?
A whole bunch of colour and love?
double check.
Helen and Leigh were married at the Mill at Gordleton, all of the delicious images are courtesy of Love Lust List Members Emma and Ian at Big Bouquet photography.
I always knew I wanted to wear something with a vintage feel to it, so initially I bought a beautiful original 1930s dress online. I persuaded myself that the fact that it didn't actually fit properly wasn't a problem – I could lose weight in time for the wedding couldn't I? It would be fine. The nearer it got to the wedding day though, the more I began to realise that, gorgeous as the dress was, it just wasn't right.
So with a month to go, I started looking for another one! Leigh had already mentioned that he'd walked past Cocoa Couture, a wedding dress boutique in Cheltenham, and thought I might like it. So I gave them a ring. Cara, who owns the business and designs and makes all the gowns, was wonderful. Seemingly undeterred by my scarily short timescales she invited me to her shop, where I chose the fabric for the dress (including the most amazing cream antique lace) and talked through styles.
Just 2 fittings and 3 weeks later I picked up my dress.
Silk And Vintage
As there was lots of detail on the dress I didn't really need many accessories.… View the full post.

Windswept Beauty and the Mermaids… Part 1
Since I first saw this wedding I have wanted it. Coveted it.
For months we waited patiently while Cara and Nye bonded with their new arrivals. They knew it was perfectly us. We knew it was perfectly them. And for no-one was it more perfect than Sophie and Glenn.
Sophie and Glenn were married on 17th August 2010 at Crear, in Argyll Scotland.
I think this is the most perfect wedding I have ever laid my eyes upon.
Feathery Gorgeousness
I didn't want a traditional white wedding dress as although I did try some traditional white ones on, none felt right-so I scoured the internet for an evening dress (Glenn and I met on an internet dating site, I sourced most of my wedding from the internet!)
After many attempts I eventually found the Tadashi feathery Gown on the Bloomingdales Website in America, and loved it at first sight- But as nowhere in England stocks Tadashi Shoji (A Japanese Designer) I had to have it shipped from a store in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, slightly risky but luckily it was a risk worth taking! (It also went on a round-the-world trip after getting caught up in the Ash Cloud but luckily arrived in time to get it altered to fit!)
Gemstone beauties
I searched Etsy, the online craft/arts store, and discovered Melanie in Massachusetts , who trades under the name 'LittleLuxury Boutique' she handcrafts unique jewellery using beautiful gemstones.
She handmade me a bracelet and matching drop earrings which she describes as 'soft brown, champagne and beige gemstones, with metallic-lustered teal peacock freshwater pearls for a bold and beautiful accent of color against a neutral backdrop.… View the full post.

Sunderland are staring relegation in the face after slumping to their joint-heaviest defeat of the season at Spurs.
Lee Cattermole's first goal for the club gave the Black Cats the perfect start at White Hart Lane, but Emanuel Adebayor levelled before the half-hour.
And once Harry Kane had put Spurs ahead just before the hour, Sunderland fell apart and the home side added three more goals in the final 12 minutes through Christian Eriksen, Adebayor again and sub Gylfi Sigurdsson.
This abject defeat leaves Sunderland bottom of the table and seven points from safety with only seven games to go – with their next three games pitting them against top five sides Everton, Manchester City and Chelsea.
Gus Poyet's team have one foot in the Championship, and nothing short of a miracle will save them now.

Poyet made two changes to the side that started last Monday's defeat against West Ham.
He sprang a surprise by dropping skipper John O'Shea, and handing Carlos Cuellar his first start since November.
And the second change saw Adam Johnson come into the side to play up front, with Connor Wickham making way.
Spurs boss Tim Sherwood made four changes to the side that was hammered by Liverpool last weekend.
Back came goalscorer Adebayor, Vlad Chiriches, Paulinho and Kane, at the expense of Jan Vertonghen, Sigurdsson, Roberto Soldado and Nabil Bentaleb.
Spurs dominated the early exchanges, but the closest they came to breaking the deadlock was when Vito Mannone had to tip the ball over the bar after a right-wing cross from Eriksen took a nick off Marcos Alonso and was dropping into the net.
But Sunderland came close themselves in the 14 minute when they won a free-kick out on the right and Johnson's inswinging set-piece found Wes Brown at the far post but his header back across goal went just wide of the target with Hugo Lloris beaten.
Lloris was beaten again three minutes later, and this time it did count.
The French goalkeeper's short pass on the left side of the area played defender Chiriches into trouble, but his pass across his own box was even worse!
Cattermole nipped in to steer his sidefoot finish round Younes Kaboul and into the bottom right-hand corner, with Lloris scrambling in vain to get there.
Spurs had a chance to level immediately, but Mannone made a good save from Kane.
And midway through the half Kyle Naughton fired just wide from 25 yards after a training-ground free-kick routine.
A few minutes later, Kane had a shot blocked inside the area and Adebayor seized on the loose ball but could only lift it over the top.
Fabio Borini brought a save out of Lloris on 26 minutes after a quick break from the Italian down the left.
But Spurs got back on terms two minutes later.
Eriksen delivered a dangerous low cross from the left and Adebayor got in behind Brown, with the ball skipping up off the greasy surface and going in off the striker's thigh and then his hand from close-range, although the officials failed to spot the handball.
Defender Danny Rose – who spent last season on loan with the Wearsiders – shot just wide of the top right-hand corner from 20 yards a few minutes later.
Spurs could have taken the lead 10 minutes before the break after Eriksen breezed past Santiago Vergini on the right, Paulinho made only minimal contact with his low cross and Phil Bardsley and Cuellar between them somehow denied Adebayor a tap-in, with Mannone grabbing the loose ball.
The second half followed a similar pattern, and it took another fantastic challenge from Bardsley to prevent Eriksen this time from tapping home an Aaron Lennon cross.
But Spurs took the lead in the 59 minute with a carbon copy of their first goal, Eriksen providing the cross from the left and this time Kane getting in behind Brown to nudge it past Mannone.
A sickening clash of heads between Brown and Kane just after the hour saw both men needing lengthy treatment, although they were able to continue.
As Sunderland chased the game, Spurs picked them off and they went 3-1 up in the 78 minute.
Eriksen's low shot from outside the box took a deflection off Bardsley's boot and Mannone could only help it into the bottom right-hand corner.
Then in the 86 minute Mannone was at fault as he allowed a shot from Kane to squirm under his body, and Adebayor followed up to tap in from close range.
And sub Gylfi Sigurdsson added the fifth two minutes into injury time, with Mannone's weak punch from a corner putting Sunderland in trouble and Adebayor and Younes Kaboul combined to set up the Icelander and he fired home from six yards.

Noble Dead #9: Of Truth and Beasts: A Novel of the Noble Deadby Barb Hendee
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
New in the national bestselling Noble Dead series, known for "incredible world-building and intriguing characters" (SciFi Chick).
In each of its novels, The Noble Dead Saga has swept readers into a world of "Tolkienesque fantasy [and] vampire-infused horror."* (Publishers Weekly)
Now, young Journeyor Wynn Hygeorht finds herself cast into the wilds on a dangerous quest for knowledge that may instead lead to her doom...
"In the capable ninth Noble Dead installment (after 2010's Through Stone and Sea), young sage Wynn determinedly pursues proof of her theories of a coming attack by the legendary 'Ancient Enemy.' Accompanied by telepathic wolf Shade, loyal vampire Chane, and secretive dwarf Ore-Locks, Wynn seeks an ancient dwarven stronghold described at the end of the possibly apocryphal Forgotten History, a chronicle recorded by the long-lived vampires known as the Noble Dead. There Wynn hopes to find one of the Enemy's magical orbs. Trailed by a black wraith and the mysterious elf Chuillyon, Wynn's party uncovers unexpected and potentially deadly secrets. Once again the Hendees deliver a crowd-pleasing mix of intrigue, epic fantasy, and horror. The pace occasionally slows, but there's more than enough mystery and suspense to keep it moving. (Jan.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
In this ninth Noble Dead novel, young Journeyor Wynn Hygeorht finds herself cast into the wilds on a dangerous quest for knowledge that may instead lead to her doom.
Young journeyer Wynn Hygeorht sets out with her companions, the vampire Chane Andraso and Shade, an elven wolf, in search of a dwarven stronghold that may well be the last resting place of a mythical orb- one of five such mysterious devices from the war of Forgotten History. And now, a direct descendant of that war's infamous mass murderer-the Lord of Slaughter-is tracking Wynn. If only that were all she had to worry about...
About the Author
Barb and J.C. Hendee live in a quirky little town near Portland, Oregon, with two geriatric and quite demanding cats.

The issue of Australia's regional air superiority has been the subject of
considerable discussion and commentary from 2000. The strategic guidance
outlined in the Defence 2000—Our Future Defence Force and the acquisition and
phasing out of equipment proposed in the Defence Capability Plan 2004–2014 has
provided the basis for much of the debate amongst key stakeholders.
The Defence Sub-Committee of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs
Defence and Trade first examined the issue of Australia's air combat capability in
its Review of the Defence Annual Report 2002-03. Further to this inquiry, in June 2005,
the Senate resolved that the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence
and Trade 'inquire and report into the ability of the Australian Defence Force to
maintain air superiority in our region to 2020, given current planning; as well as
any measures required to ensure air superiority in our region to 2020.' To support
the Committee in its deliberations, two public hearings were held and over 40
submissions were entered into evidence.
In terms of report structure, Chapter 2 outlines the strategic considerations, both
global and regional, which underpin Australia's future regional air superiority.
Concepts such as a balanced force structure, asymmetric threats, and an
assessment of regional military capabilities are discussed. The chapter concludes
that Australia must continue to monitor developments in the region when
considering new and improved air combat capabilities.
Chapter 3 of the report considers the Australian Defence Force's (ADF) current
capability planning, beginning with an overview of the Defence 2000—Our Future
Defence Force and subsequent Defence updates in 2003 and 2005. An outline of the
Hornet Upgrade Program follows and its role in the transition to the new air
combat aircraft is discussed. In concluding, the Committee notes the introduction
of a new capability is underpinned by strategic policy and the constraints of
providing a well balanced ADF.
The withdrawal from service of the F-111 is examined in Chapter 4 along with a
consideration of the aircraft's technical and maintenance issues. Also discussed are
the merits of enhancing the F-111 and extending its in-service life past 2010. The
chapter concludes that industry could support the F-111 until 2020 but there are
risks, including the ability to sustain critical skills amongst the current workforce.
The Committee notes the increasing severity of the risk profile in extending the
F-111 beyond 2010.
Chapter 5 summarises the ADF's future capability planning with particular
attention being given to the acquisition of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) as well as
any potential capability gap which may arise from a delay in its purchase.
The report concludes in Chapter 6 with a comparative analysis of the JSF and the
FA-22 Raptor covering issues such as capability, availability and cost. Irrespective
of whether the FA-22 Raptor is available for export sale to Australia, the
Committee notes the purchase of the JSF is considered by Defence to provide the
most effective and efficient air combat capability.

The X Button - Hive Finds
This week brings pitches for dungeon treks, alien bug raids, and a nightmare long thought over. Plus Silent Hills, BlazBlue, and the results of an anime-editing contest!
Acclaimed anime character designer Akemi Takada reported on Saturday that there were two sketches forged under her signature that were auctioned on the eBay service overseas.
In particular, a person in Hong Kong purchased at least one Kimagure Orange Road sketch off an auction originating in Italy. As such, Takada noted that the auctions constitute international fraud.
In addition to Kimagure Orange Road, Takada worked on Urusei Yatsura, Magical Angel Creamy Mami , Maison Ikkoku, Mobile Police Patlabor, Fancy Lala, and many other anime.
Thanks to Daniel Zelter for the news tip.

It is quite impossible to attach importance to material possessions now. All that one still clings to is a few vital affections'
Iris Origo, October 1943.
Marchesa Iris Origo and her husband had been settled at their rural estate of La Foce since 1924. When the Second World War broke out Origo, an Englishwoman married to an Italian landowner, had divided loyalties. But as the war dragged on and the hostilities escalated, the small community of Val d'Orcia found themselves helping evacuees, orphans, refugees, prisoners of war and soldiers from both sides, concerned less with who was fighting whom than caring for those who needed their aid.
Origo kept her diary throughout this time, when the risk of betrayal was a fact of life and the penalty for helping the enemy would result in death. Even with German troops occupying her manor house, she wrote at night about her valiant attempts to shelter refugees, burying her diary in the garden each morning.
The result is a book which has become a classic, an affirmation in itself of courage and resistance, and an unsentimental, compelling story of the trials and tragedies of wartime.

Just six months after his own personal tragedy, Senator Creigh Deeds is spreading the word about his new mental health legislation. Dozens gathered at Jefferson City Center in Charlottesville for a town hall organized by the Mental Health and Wellness Coalition Thursday afternoon to hear about those changes and to see what's being done in the greater Charlottesville area to improve how mental health issues are handled.
Deeds says the recent changes to the mental health system are just the beginning.
"As Virginians we should not be satisfied to have excellence in some parts of the state and total inadequacy in other parts," he said.
Deeds spoke about the new laws created provide a real-time bed registry and extend the current evaluation periods. But most importantly, Deeds says a bed will be made available for anyone determined to be in need of one.
Deeds says another ongoing struggle is getting people to treat mental illnesses like any other sickness.
"As a parent if your child has cancer or heart defect or the flu you know what to do you, know where to go, you know somebody is working on finding solutions. But when it comes to mental health what do you do?" he said.
Deeds' son Gus attacked him and then killed himself in November, after he couldn't get a bed in a psychiatric hospital. Some were so moved by his tragedy and recent work that they shared their own stories.
One woman at the town hall said, "I will stand here today and tell anybody: whatever stigma you have about mental illness, I'm not going to hold my head down anymore. I'm going to live with it."
Mental health professionals in the area say they are also working to better the system.
"We're trying to make the steps to care so easy for folks to avoid the kinds of tragedies like Santa Barbara and Senator Deeds experienced," said Elizabeth Irvin, executive director of the Women's Initiative.
Mental health professionals at the town hall said without Senator Deeds, the outcome would have been very different. They want people to continue this conversation to keep improving the system.

Earnhardt tops final practice for Daytona 500
Quiet most of Speedweeks, Dale Earnhardt Jr. made a little noise Saturday.
AP Sports Writer
Quiet most of Speedweeks, Dale Earnhardt Jr. made a little noise Saturday.
Earnhardt topped the speed chart for the final practice session before Sunday's season-opening Daytona 500.
The 2004 Daytona 500 champion turned the fast lap by averaging 198.592 mph around the 2 1/2 -mile superspeedway. David Gilliland was second, followed by Clint Bowyer, Marcos Ambrose and Aric Almirola.
Pole-sitter Danica Patrick and Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Tony Stewart were among 10 drivers who skipped the 1 1/2 -hour final tuneup. Patrick is trying to become the first driver win the Daytona 500 from the pole since Dale Jarrett in 2000. Only nine drivers have accomplished the feat in 54 years.
Three-time Daytona 500 winner Jeff Gordon, 2010 Daytona 500 champ Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears, Terry Labonte and Joe Nemechek also sat out the session. So did Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth.
"We don't have any plans to go out," Gordon said. "We feel like this entire week we have been able to learn everything we need to get prepared for the race tomorrow. ... We've got a great race car. We are excited. We've got a great opportunity here."
Before Saturday, Earnhardt had done little during Speedweeks. He finished eighth in the Sprint Unlimited and ninth in his qualifying race. He will start 19th in the "Great American Race," his lowest opening spot in 14 years at NASCAR's premier event.
His speed in the final practice had to boost the team's confidence.
Almirola, however, posted the best 10-lap average. He averaged 196.195 mph over 10 laps on new tires. Earnhardt was sixth on that chart.
"We are excited about this weekend and feel like we have a good car and got it driving good in that last practice session," Almirola said.
The final session involved little bump-drafting and even less side-by-side action - no doubt because teams were leery of wrecking race cars about 24 hours before the Daytona 500.
Defending Sprint Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski provided the most action when he hit a bird.
"I killed a Tweetie bird," said Keselowski, one of auto racing's top Tweeters.
Keselowski was 17th in the final practice.
"This is our 500 engine, so trying to get an idea of how it's going to perform," he said. "My car is really good. Definitely faster than what it was, so that's good, right? I'm definitely optimistic."
Of the teams that didn't practice, most of them valued keeping their car intact over incremental gains that could be found so late in Speedweeks.
Patrick, Stewart, Gordon and the Gibbs cars have been some of the fastest all week.

Baby's room, workouts and the general haps
Getting things done
Blogging about my lack of motivation must have been just the remedy I need, because Monday turned out to be one of my most productive days in weeks! After a lazy morning of napping and reading, I did some serious organizing in the bathrooms, took a few things to Goodwill and moved all of the stuff we were storing in the hallway into the guest room. The guest room now looks like something you would see on an episode of Hoarders. If anyone is planning to come stay with us anytime in the next few weeks, don't worry -- the bed is still visible! We'll be going through everything this weekend, but for now I am just happy to have the piles out of my sight.
As for yesterday, it was great ... but I wouldn't call it productive. I went to Costco. I went to Sweat360. I took two naps. I chatted with a friend for a couple of hours. I watched New Girl (hilarious!), Raising Hope (after watching season one on Hulu, the characters are growing on me), and Parenthood (I can't decide whether I love or hate this show). I took meat out the freezer for dinner (I didn't do anything with it, but actually remembering to take it out has to count for something!) and scrubbed the shower while Carl cleaned the shower doors (never get shower doors if you have a choice -- they are such a hassle to clean).
Pickles, but no ice cream
As far as paleo goes, I am still on the right track and very happy about it! My midwife told me at my appointment last week that it isn't big deal if I don't feel like eating (some days my appetite is normal, other days, like today, I have no appetite), which was a relief because Carl was somewhat concerned about my lack of interest in food (he wants to make sure the baby is getting what she needs) and we've had a few, um, debates about the topic. Anyway, she told me to just eat when I feel like eating and to continue avoiding sugar and junk food. Totally doable! For the past couple of days, I've been living on eggs, chicken sausage, green salad, apples, almond butter and pickles (seriously, the pickle thing has nothing to do with pregnancy -- I've always loved pickles).
Tuesday's workout
Now for a quick recap of yesterday's workout. In a non-pregnant state, this would have been a workout that totally kicked my butt. Five rounds of 400 meter runs, 10 barbell/push-press things with a name I can't recall right now, 10 medicine ball throws (we throw them over the TRX bar, which for me is pretty high) and 10 walking lunges. I had to take it really easy, though, so I finished the workout pretty quickly. I started out way overambitious, with a 30-pound barbell plus 20 pounds of weight. After one round, though, I knew that was a bad idea so I switched to a light bar with no extra weight. It was too easy, but it was the only way to ensure that a) I didn't fall over and b) I kept proper form. The medicine ball throws were tough (these are large medicine balls -- not the normal small ones). Right now, no matter how hard I try, I cannot get the 10-pound ball over the bar because my belly is in the way. Normally attempts don't count, but I made an executive decision to count attempts. Otherwise, I doubt I would have ever finished the workout. Walking lunges were a piece of cake, though (and a great exercise for all pregnant women to incorporate into their routine!). Tonight's workout is TRX/kettlebells. I know it will be challenging, and I know I won't be able to do kettlebell swings. But I am looking forward to it nonetheless and anxiously awaiting the day I can amp things up again!
Physical changes, etc.
Switching gears a little now -- I can hardly believe that I am now in my 36th week! Baby is due one month from tomorrow. Time is flying. We still have more to do, but I am pretty relaxed about it all. Everything will fall into place. She'll arrive at the perfect moment, and if we don't have every to-do checked off the list I'm sure we'll find a way to manage.
Speaking of being relaxed, I'm definitely experiencing the effects of relaxin -- the hormone responsible for loosening joints and ligaments in preparation for childbirth. Over the course of the past week, I have actually been able to see my hips getting bigger (yikes!). I know it sounds crazy, but it was like I woke up one morning with an extra inch of hips. Some of my clothes even feel a little snug in that area. I'm not sure whether this "expansion" will continue, but I do know that I have slept with less pain the past few nights so perhaps the relaxin has done its thing? I hope so!
Right now, my weight gain is holding steady at 28 pounds. I haven't gained any weight in a week, but the week prior I gained between two and three pounds. Because I love math (haha), I calculated my average weight gain per week thus far in order to determine how much weight I will gain overall. The results? I've gained .8 pounds per week, which means I'll gain 32 pounds by my due date. This, of course, is just a guestimate and I really have no idea how much weight I will gain between now and October 23rd. It is still fun for me to do the calculation, though.
OK, well, I guess that is it for now. I still have a busy afternoon ahead and I need to get to my list before I give in to the temptation to take another nap (my first nap of the day commenced at 10:30am, right after my massage appointment). Off to Trader Joe's to stock up on some healthy paleo eats for the next few days!

Did you do thrusters today?ReplyDelete
Whew! I just read your blog from start to finish in one sitting! I'm a fellow Portland gal, newly pregnant (only 7 weeks) and started Paleo at the beginning of the summer. So far it's been really hard with food aversions kicking in and NOTHING sounds appetizing. I typed in "paleo pregnancy" into Google this morning in an attempt to find inspiration with recipes and food ideas. I'm so glad I found your blog! It has been so informative and helpful (and such a bonus that you are in Portland - I love the restaurant suggestions!). I'll be subscribing to it and referencing older posts as I make my way through my pregnancy. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!ReplyDelete
Hi Molly,ReplyDelete
Congrats on your pregnancy! I'm glad my blog has been helpful to you. Keep me posted on how things are going! It is definitely nice to know of another paleo mom-to-be in Portland.
Hi Lindsey,ReplyDelete
It wasn't thrusters ... more like a combo of thrusters and push press. Although, two weeks later I am probably describing it all wrong. :-)

Relationship of 5 years, early 20s.
I know this will sound cliche, but words cannot express my gratitude for how much help has been offered to me from all over the country and even outside the states (I'm in Ohio). I am amazed and humbled that complete strangers would offer not just food but the support to help me, not just in the thread, with my situation. I am really so deeply touched. Thank you.posted by taz at 10:31 PM on July 11, 2013 [30 favorites]
As of right now, I don't know that I would feel 100% comfortable accepting however, because I've found some good resources on food stamps and am hopefully going to get to a food bank tomorrow. Still hungry, but I'll be okay for tonight. Once I have some food, I'll be able to think more clearly about my overall situation, and how to proceed from here. My living situation is unstable at best, but at least I won't feel guilty anymore.
Again, thank you. Really, thank you.

The brand's iconic custom black and white window pane flooring is impossible to miss as special brass frames and optic lens lighting focus on this area. Signature Valentino materials such as molded gypsum curtains, layered mirror glass walls and carbon fiber poles recall the brand's identity and craftsmanship. The custom leather furniture and stylistic fixtures soften the intricate architectural forms and create a warmer, more intimate feeling.

Head coach Todd Gardiner and the team of talented instructors at Illinois Gymnastics Institute, which boasts a lengthy list of championship-placing gymnasts, have taught and trained athletes of all ages, levels, and sport aspirations for more than 30 years. The 35,000-square-foot athlete factory was established in 1979 when Gardiner began teaching gymnastics using his personal sport experience and detailed origami diagrams. Since that time, the Illinois Gymnastics Institute has trained hundreds of athletes, including Junior and Senior U.S. National Vault Champions and U.S. Olympic Trials–qualifier Liz Tricase. The gym's experienced instructors host programs for students ages 18 months–18 years, and their leadership has helped more than 98% of IGI graduates to obtain NCAA full-tuition scholarships and numerous awards for Most Convincing Impersonation of a Sailor's Knot.
My Gym Children's Fitness Center, which currently has more than 200 international locations, began more than 30 years ago as a structured place for children to safely play, acquire new skills, and romp off a sugar buzz. All classes are organized according to age level—starting as young as 6 months—and designed to incorporate the latest physiological and psychological research. Tiny Tykes gets babies moving with help from their parents, Mighty Mites teaches toddlers self-reliance and beginning sports skills, and Champions, a class for kids aged 6–8, emphasizes the importance of using teamwork to master more complex sports skills and achieve group goals such as building a human pyramid to reach the cookie jar. My Gym's energetic instructors are experts at using music, dance, and gymnastics to build youngsters' strength and self-esteem while stimulating their giggle-plexes. The noncompetitive environment fosters creativity and hands-on activities boost children's learning retention and fun quotient.
Flying High Sports & Rec Center started out small, but after over 20 years of business, the family-friendly center now boasts more than 1,000 students and has grown into two facilities that house a wide variety of programs. Inside, the qualified instructors lead gymnastics, martial arts, and dancing for all ages, mentoring tykes as young as 18 months old. In the cheer program, youngsters learn choreography and tumbling moves, and in gymnastics courses, kids learn to execute eye-dazzling flips and to navigate balance beams and the uneven bars, depending on their skill level.
Flying High also hosts open-gym sessions and birthday parties. Additionally, two foam pits, a rock wall, four trampolines, and an inflatable obstacle course await those looking to burn off some energy or to network with potential lemonade-stand partners.
The sounds of hockey sticks slapping pucks, ice skates carving figure eights, and trampoline springs squeaking fill Midwest Training and Ice Center. Adding to the soundscape, experienced staff members shout words of encouragement during adult and youth activities that unfold throughout the 34,000-square-foot gymnastics training facility and the Olympic-sized ice arena.
To help visitors grab an edge on their competition, personal trainers stage workouts in the fitness center, which includes strength and cardio equipment, group classes, and locker rooms equipped with a sauna?one of the best ways to relax post workout, and the second best way to cook a turkey. Though the facility focuses on competitive-training programs, its doors also open for public skates, open gyms, youth summer camps, and birthday parties.
