KHARTOUM, Sudan (BP) -- Mohammed Khidir Khalil Hassan, a Sudanese convert to Christianity from Islam, has to be careful what songs he sings to his sons.
Nearly a year ago, after his wife left him, a Sudanese court had ruled that as a convert from Islam he was forbidden to see his children, then ages 3 and 5. An appeals court overturned the ruling last October and allowed him visits, but he knows any pretext could be used to keep him from them.
During one recent visit, one of the boys asked him to sing a Christian praise song entitled "Hosanna," but he refrained -- knowing his ex-wife and her Muslim family could use that as evidence that he was trying to convert the children to Christianity and automatically cancel his visitation rights.
"I see no freedom at all," he said, pointing out that his ex-wife and her mother closely monitor his visits. "Such a system needs to be confronted. We have to decide to work for change in Sudan."
A Sudanese court had ruled in March 2012 that his wife, as a member of "the popular religion," be awarded custody of the children. His wife had presented a copy of a U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees certificate showing Khalil's testimony as a Christian, as they had obtained asylum in Egypt from religious persecution in Sudan. The certificate was proof enough for a Sudanese judge to rule that the marriage be annulled and the children handed over to the spouse professing Islam.
The ruling perhaps reflects the prevailing anti-Christianity hostility in the air since South Sudan seceded in July 2011. Harassment, violence and arrests of Christians have intensified since largely Christian South Sudan seceded and Sudan President Omar al-Bashir vowed to root the country more deeply in Sharia (Islamic law).
Hassan now visits the boys twice a month, Friday and Saturday of the first and second week for four hours each.
"What surprises me is that my wife denied that she was or has ever been a Christian before, yet we had a Christian wedding and during the birth of our first born, women from the Dinka community came to celebrate with us, as well as offering to us Christian prayers," he said.
Khalil, who converted to Christianity in 2001, had met Manal Hassan in 2007. At that time she said she was neither a Christian nor a Muslim. The bride's Muslim family learned that Khalil was a Christian but had no objection to the marriage, he said.
By 2010 the couple had joined an undisclosed church and had become visibly active in it; opposition from their families grew, and after threats from family members and others intensified, the couple fled to Egypt in January 2011. Hassan and his young family obtained asylum as refugees in Egypt, and he was heartened that his wife was attending church with him.
In August 2011, his Muslim mother-in-law visited them in Egypt. Without his knowledge, she took his wife and children back to Sudan, he said. Hearing nothing from them, on Christmas Day 2011 Khalil decided to return to an undisclosed town in Sudan to search for them. He was shocked to discover that his wife had filed for divorce on grounds that she was a Muslim and he a Christian.
A Sudanese court had granted her custody of their two sons and forbade him to see them, he said.
"How does she deny the house of Christian marriage after four years?" Hassan said. "I am happy that people have known of my Christian conviction in Sudan, and I am ready to stand to the end. When the churches in Sudan are being destroyed, I tell my brothers and sisters that we need to come out boldly, but many shy off."
Silence, he said, is not the answer; he said Sudanese Christians need to confront but in a peaceful manner.
"I will continue working for freedom for my children and for change in Sudan," he said. "Some of my brothers and sisters did nothing, but yet they were jailed. We need to reflect the life and the truth of Jesus."

The 4 square antenna for 80m has been removed and I have installed an 8 element vertical array for 80m - the mast for the array is resonant on 160m and has 8 top loading wires 19 feet long - the antennas for 160 and 80 were designed by Tony G3LNP - my 80m version is currently under development and is the only array of its type covering 80m based on Tony's design - the phasing uses a single BC type capacitor and is extremely easy to set up - the radial system covers an area 200 feet by 200 feet and consists of 16 miles of radials - each element of the 8 array has its own radial system - as well as being bonded to the original 4 sq radial system - other antennas are 40m 4 square - a second 90 foot free standing Titanex vertical for 160m and a 10 element log periodic for HF bands. For local contacts I use a 264foot Doublet at 60 feet.
I have traded in new and used ham gear for some 50 years and trade under the banner of RCQ Communications Limited from my warehouse near Kings Lynn - both old and new equipment is catered for and I advertise in RadCom, Practical Wireless and RAOTA - I am also have an Agency with ML&S and can supply most equipment to the UK mainland - next day delivery.
I have been licenced for 51 years - thanks for looking me up on QRZ Kenwood TS-990S .
160m top loaded vertical - showing the 8 toploading wires each 19 feet long
This is the main 160m mast which also holds up the 8 elements spaces at 45 degrees for the 80m array.
Thats me winding up the second vertical for 160m - Titanex free standing 90 foot - tuned against 75 quarter wave radials
80m 8 element phasing box together with the 160/80 matching networks - now completed and all working!
The phasing bang on 107 degrees and 0.92 current ratio.
Tony G3LNP say's connect 2 idential lines from the front and rear elements - make one of the lines 107 degrees longer than the other - then set the scope amplitude to a ratio of 1 and 0.92 and simply tune the phasing capacitor for as close as you can get - the phase angle and current were calculated for my location and system using Eznec.
This is the home brew 8 element controler which also includes 2 Netiom boards and is connected to my Internet router
- I have full control of the whole station remotely from anywhere - I have operated remotely from my car using an I phone 5mobile phone through the UK mobile phone network - using Logmein Ignition for the vision and Skype for the sound - from laptops I use IP Sound instead of Skype.

I'm not quite sure but they would have pulled some political BS to get it tangled up. I mean it wasn't just for Iraq but for Afghanistan as well. What do they expect? War is ... free?!?

GREENACRES, FL (WFLX) - A Palm Springs middle school teacher is behind bars facing six different charges, including trying to bribe a cop with sex.
Fifty-three-year-old Mary Maloney is a 7th grade math teacher at Palm Springs Middle School.
Greenacres police say she was involved in a hit and run crash Sunday night while driving with a suspended license. Wine was found in her van.
She refused a breathalyzer test, and, police say, Maloney offered sexual favors to the arresting officer.

Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill.
Important reminder: Rumors are just that -- rumors. None of this has been confirmed as legitimate news or fact; so remember to take it all with a grain of salt.
Rumors for the Day:
- Detroit has been ruled out as a potential host city for WrestleMania 32. It would have been the third time the "Showcase of the Immortals" took place there, as both WrestleMania 3 and WrestleMania 23 were held there.
- Jack Swagger gets a ton of criticism for working stiff and injuring his fair share of opponents and now The Miz may be added to that list here soon. That's because he legitimately broke Fandango's nose at Raw last night in Des Moines during their match. This isn't the first time he's done something like this and it likely won't be the last.
- Edge is returning to Raw next week as a one-off appearance simply to promote his role in the Haven show that airs on the SyFy channel. There's nothing to it outside of that.
- Cody Rhodes has been moved to the Alumni section of WWE.com. His getting fired on Raw last night was simply a way to get him off television for a few weeks to get married. There has been speculation that his wife could be made part of a future storyline.
- Triple H vs. Big Show is definitely happening at some point or another. A War Games match is looking more and more unlikely.
If you have heard of any interesting rumors that you'd like to add, feel free to post them in the comments section below. Please remember, these are merely rumors. Try not to take them too seriously, just have fun with them.

As I See It
Robert Campbell
---- — I opened the newspaper this sunny day in April looking for news to coincide with the weather. Headlines precluded that happy thought, however: North Korea's president was racheting up his vitriol with nuclear threats, six Americans, including a young female diplomat, were killed by Afghan militants as they traveled to donate books to students in a school in the southern province of Zabul and lastly, a reminder that on this day, 45 years ago, April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. It struck me like a punch in the gut — 1968 was a tough year!
For those of us in our "twilight years," remembrances of what was happening in our country are stark and horror-filled, but for at least two generations not yet born, they represent only footnotes in a history book. It was a tragic year, perhaps one of our worst since the founding of our country.
That year saw a continuation of the Vietnam War. What had started in 1960, the last year of Eisenhower's presidency, with a handful of military advisers, became a full-blown war with over 100,000 U.S. troops fighting a phantom enemy by 1968. Who were the enemy, why didn't they wear uniforms, why didn't they stand and fight a "fair war"?
By 1968, we were still six years from ending that long war, "declaring victory" and leaving. Richard Nixon had promised in 1968 that he had a "plan" to win the war, but the military had other plans that included an eventual 500,000 troops in the waning days of Lyndon Johnson's presidency. Today, in retrospect, it seems strange to think, just like a "Twilight Zone" episode, we are reliving the past, especially when you consider that the Afghan War is now our country's longest war.
I remember vividly hearing that Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn., where he had gone to lead a march in sympathy with striking garbage drivers. The year had marches in many cities against discrimination and the war. There was a general feeling that somehow, we were losing our way.
Several days later as King was being buried in Atlanta, I traveled to Philadelphia to meet our local sales representative for some business calls on customers. After a morning visit to Scott Paper we drove to Wilmington, Del., to have lunch with a purchasing agent at Hercules and lunch at the Hotel Dupont. As we sat over lunch trying to talk about business, but consumed with other domestic issues, we heard shouting and sirens outside the hotel.
It was suggested that we leave town immediately! We drove out of the garage and were confronted by hundreds of teens running, shouting and throwing stones at cars. This was their response to King's assassination by what turned out to be a white man. We sped up trying to avoid hitting anyone. Several rocks hit the side and back of the car, but luckily nothing hit the windshield. We doubled back to Philadelphia, where I caught an early flight back to Newark, N.J. What was happening to our country, I remember thinking?
It was only two months later, shortly after midnight June 5, 1968, that Robert Kennedy was shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles after winning the California and South Dakota primaries. We watched his speech late that night when he ended it with, "And now, it's on to Chicago" and his party's presidential nomination. His run ended in a hotel kitchen where he was shot in the head. Chicago's convention became the focus later that year for one of the worst riots in our nation's history.
There is no need to ask me, "What were the darkest days you remember?" The year was 1968! I shudder to think of what is happening today, not only with the Afghan War, but of political inaction. Nothing good is coming out of Washington, D.C., it appears, as senators and representatives seem totally incapable of placing the nation's interests first and foremost.
To paraphrase the poet and philosopher, George Santayana, "If good men do nothing to correct evil, they are doomed to the future." I'm afraid we are in a repetitive mode, but hopefully and prayerfully it will not be as bad as 1968.
Robert D. Campbell, an essayist from Newburyport, prefers humorous themes, but this 45th anniversary proved overwhelming in its scope.

Mexico are still the kings of CONCACAF. Surprise!
Once again, the Liga MX clubs had no problem in the continent's championship, with two more picking up wins on Thursday and leaving Tijuana's Matchday 1 draw in El Salvador as the lone dropped points for the country in this year's tournament. They are top of the totem pole until someone knocks them off and right now, no one looks ready to do that.
Cruz Azul 3-0 Herediano
Three goals before halftime earned Cruz Azul three points with ease over a Herediano team that qualified for the quarterfinals a year ago. Jair Pereira notched the opener before Mariano Pavone tacked on another and Gerardo Torrado wrapped it up just before the halftime whistle as La Maquina joined Herediano atop Group 3 on three points. The difference is Cruz Azul has only played one match, while the Costa Ricans have played two.
Sporting San Miguelito 1-0 Alajuelense
It's too bad Sporting couldn't manage a result in their opening match against Club America because if they did, Thursday's win would give them a chance to be Cinderella in this year's tournament. John Pretelt scored the winner for the Panamanians to earn them an impressive win on Matchday 2, just weeks after giving America all they could handle on Matchday 1. But Sporting, as well as they played, did lose to America, and beating Alajuelense just gives them a leg up in the race to finish second.
Comunicaciones 1-2 Toluca
A Juan Cacho penalty kick proved to be the difference for Toluca, who now sit comfortably atop Group 6 with six points from two matches. Raul Nava notched the opener for the Mexcicans and while Minor Lopez scored minutes after to get things level, Toluca always had the upperhand. Then Cacho scored to restore Toluca's lead and Jose Contreras was shown red, knocking Comunicaciones down to 10 men and essentially ending the match as well as the competition in Group 6.

Aspicore GSM Tracker v3.16.1049 S60v3 S60v5 SymbianOS9.x Unsigned Cracked-Symbian@ParsPDA
The product is intended for fleet tracking, field force automation or personal location tracking.
Would you like to...
* View the whereabouts of your entire fleet from your desktop?
* Know the closest vehicle or technician to the next job site?
* Access yesterday's detailed route history for every vehicle in your fleet?
Want to protect your Nokia device against theft?
With a system based on Aspicore GSM Tracker, you can!
Now compatible with GpsGate.com service - Free Online position sharing
New version 3.16 includes refined power save, support for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and GpsGate "TrackerOne" protocol.
What does the application do?
Cost-effective and efficient tool to track locations of mobile phones.
Aspicore GSM Tracker is an S60 application, which makes the smartphone into a real-time AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) tracking device.
The application determines the location with a built-in GPS (or Bluetooth GPS receiver) and transmits the tracking data to a server in real-time through a cellular packet data connection.
System description and purpose
Typically server stores the received tracking data into a SQL database. The data can be visualized with simple map software, (e.g. Google Earth) or it can be linked to a professional fleet management system or a mobile workforce management system.
Individual users can use Aspicore GSM Tracker for personal location tracking. They can e.g. automatically publish their current location and daily track on their web page. They can recover a lost GPS phone through an SMS enquiry.
Communication is fast and reliable and costs are low, because the application uses packet data transfer technology and a very compact messaging protocol. The latency between the actual GPS position fix and data receive event in the server is normally only a few seconds.
The locations obtained are accurate, because the system uses a real GPS, not network based positioning.
You do not need to pay monthly fee or per-transaction fee for the location requests.
The mobile hardware installation is very easy.
You don't even need necessarily to have as many GPS receivers as tracked mobile phones, if a lower accuracy suffices and there are only a few places or standard routes you want to have recognised. The location of the mobile phone can also be determined by the network cell id.
You can configure the timers and events, which trigger the data send action. Usually the data is sent in a compact UDP datagram, only a little over 100 packet data bytes per message. This means that the data transfer costs are minimal compared to e.g. SMS.
Location tracking system
The central database can be a powerful SQL engine, which handles hundreds of mobile tracking targets. The database accumulates position data from the mobile phones being tracked. Each record in the database is identified by the IMEI code of the phone the data belongs to.
If you are not using a GPS receiver, you must first create a mapping from the network cell ID to a geographical location. Unless you get the cell id location lists from your mobile operator, you can collect the data yourself by driving around the places you want to have recognised by the system and have Aspicore GSM Tracker and a GPS receiver to record the latitude and longitude of the network cells.
When the system is eventually being used, the mobile will report its network cell information to the system server by using Aspicore GSM Tracker. The server compares the network cell information to the accumulated data and converts it to an estimated geographical location. This way you can track your sales representatives, delivery men, children etc without them needing to carry a GPS receiver with them.
How to evaluate?
The central database solution is not included, but customers can use Aspicore's test server in the Internet for evaluation and testing. The test server can also be used to evaluate the network cell based positioning. Collect first the cell locations along your daily routes with a Bluetooth GPS and then try positioning without a GPS receiver! This is a more affordable and a real-time alternative to operator based mobile phone positioning.
Server interface and tools
Aspicore GSM Tracker sends data to the server as plain ASCII characters in an UDP datagram or a TCP message. You can write the receiving end program yourself by using IP sockets, if you wish. You are free to use the sample Perl scripts or Java code to process the UDP datagrams and store them to a MySQL database. See Aspicore's web site. Http data can be processed as shown in our PHP and ASP samples. There is a freeware Windows .NET PC utility to receive NMEA datagrams via UDP and send them to a standard GPS mapping program through a COM port.
Aspicore Ltd is willing to provide you with the data collection database server software or to assist you to integrate the Aspicore GSM Tracker solution into your enterprise system. Refer to Aspicore web site for a demo of smartphone real time location data integrated with Microsoft MapPoint .NET Web Service.

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- An investigation shows senior citizens across the country may be the victims of a business based in Wisconsin.
WISN 12 News in Milwaukee investigated "AFD Medical Advisors" which claims to help patients get prescriptions at a discount or free. But the Better Business Bureau says it's been getting about 60 calls a month since mid-November about the company, saying AFD called elderly people and told them things like, they needed to make a payment or their "Medicare would be canceled the next day."
The complaints say AFD would withdraw $299 from a patient's bank account, but they never got anything in return.
Vickie Thompson says her mother got a call from AFD. "I think it's horrible. I think the company that's running this is just voracious, they need to be put under the jail somewhere."
The Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions lists Aaron F. Dupont as AFD's registered agent. His home is in the Wausau area and the business's address was tracked to a P.O. Box at a UPS store in Stevens Point. When WISN contacted Dupont at his home, he said he didn't know about any complaints about his company to the BBB. The BBB says it has contacted him with concerns he's preying on the elderly.
The BBB, Wisconsin's Office of Consumer Protection and a couple police agencies are now investigating AFD.

By Patrick Poole
President Obama hosted his annual iftar dinner in August to commemorate Ramadan, the list of invitees published by the White House was curiously missing the names of several attendees — all of whom are top leaders of organizations known to be purveyors of jihadist ideology. But it was not like they had crashed the party. One of the unlisted, Mohamed Magid, head of the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic Society of North America, was photographed by Reuters sitting at the front table only a few feet from the president as he spoke.
This was just the most recent episode in the federal government's disastrous attempts at outreach to the Muslim community since the 9/11 attacks. With the release of
President Obama's new strategic plan to combat "violent extremism" by expanding outreach to these same terror-tied groups, the present administration seems intent on compounding the problems wrought by its predecessors.
Misguided outreach activities began long before 9/11, with the best example being the case of Abdurahman Alamoudi.
Alamoudi was the conduit through which much of the U.S. government's outreach was pursued following the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Not only was he asked by the Clinton administration to help train and certify all Muslim military chaplains, his organization being the first to do so, but he also was appointed by the State Department in 1997 as a goodwill ambassador to the Middle East, making six taxpayer-funded trips. It is fair to say that during this period, Alamoudi was the most prominent and politically connected Muslim leader in America.
As we now know, Alamoudi was indicted in October 2003 for moving money on behalf of Libyan intelligence in an assassination plot targeting Saudi Prince (now King) Abdullah. The U.S. government has admitted that at the time he was being courted by Democrats and Republicans alike, he was a major fundraiser for al-Qaeda.
However, it is not as if the U.S. government was unaware of Alamoudi's attachments. As far back as 1993, an informant told the FBI that Alamoudi was funneling regular payments from Osama bin Laden to Omar Abdel Rahman, the "blind sheikh" who was convicted of authorizing terror attacks against New York landmarks. In March 1996, Alamoudi's association with Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook was exposed in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. Two years later, the State Department came under fire by the New York Post for inviting Alamoudi to official events despite his known remarks in support of terrorism and terrorist leaders.
When President Bush took office, Alamoudi was quickly courted by the new administration. In June 2001, the Jerusalem Post reported that Alamoudi was going to be part of a White House meeting with Vice President Cheney despite the fact that Alamoudi was known to have attended a terror confab in Beirut earlier that year featuring representatives from virtually every major Islamic terrorist organization in the world, including al-Qaeda.
Yet just days after the 9/11 attacks, Alamoudi was one of the Muslim leaders asked to appear with President Bush at the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. That same week, one of Alamoudi's close associates, Muzammil Siddiqi, was asked to deliver an Islamic prayer and to represent the entire Muslim-American community at the national prayer service mourning the fallen.
The inclusion of Alamoudi and Siddiqi at the post-9/11 events was highly criticized, especially because Alamoudi had been videotaped in October 2000, as noted by the Los Angeles Times, expressing his support for Hamas and Hezbollah at a rally held just steps from the White House. At that same demonstration, Siddiqi accused the U.S. of responsibility for the plight of the Palestinians and warned that "the wrath of God will come." One former Secret Service agent told Fox News that "the intelligence community has known for some time the association of Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi and Mr. Alamoudi and their association with terrorist organizations."
The decision to continue doing business with Alamoudi and others like him was just one of many blunders made by the U.S. government in its eagerness to conduct Muslim outreach in the wake of 9/11.
Most embarrassing of all, one of the first Muslim leaders to whom the government turned after the attacks was none other than Anwar al-Awlaki, the al-Qaeda cleric who was in direct contact with at least three of the 9/11 hijackers and is currently on the CIA's kill-or-capture list.
As the cleanup from the terrorist attack on the Pentagon continued, Awlaki was invited by the Pentagon's Office of Government Counsel to speak at a lunch in the building's executive offices as part of the government's new Muslim outreach efforts. But a joint congressional inquiry into 9/11 found that law enforcement had been investigating Awlaki's contacts with terrorism suspects as far back as 1999. Also, before his appearance at the Pentagon, the New York Times had noted Awlaki's anti-American rhetoric prior to the attacks.
This dubious approach to outreach continued through the end of Bush's second term, as seen in the egregious invitation by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) to Yasir Qadhi to speak on de-radicalization at a conference in August 2008. At that time too, Qadhi's extremist views, such as his statements denouncing "the hoax of the Holocaust," were well known. Furthermore, at a 2006 Muslim outreach event in Houston, Homeland Security official Daniel Sutherland was present, as reported by the Houston Chronicle, when Qadhi openly admitted that he was on the terror watch list.
No one at the NCTC bothered to question Qadhi's "de-radicalization" credentials. By the time he was invited to speak at the NCTC conference, at least one of Qadhi's Houston students, Daniel Maldonado, had been captured by Kenyan forces fighting with the Somali al-Shabaab terrorist group. A number of other students from Qadhi's AlMaghrib Institute program have gone on to careers in terrorism, including Christmas Day underwear bomber Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, who attended a two-week AlMaghrib training session in Houston and two other events in the UK.
If Yasir Qadhi is an expert in de-radicalization, one shudders to think what an expert in radicalization might produce.

people all over the school are helpful
Campus Resources:
Everyone at Alamance Community College is willing to go out of their way to help with anything I need. The admissions office is always a group of smiling and giggling women. The student centers are always filled with a variety of students either hanging out until their next class, doing homework, or eating lunch. ACC has creative student activities such as plant sales from the horticulture majors, blood drives, book sales, etc. My favorite is the search game the bookstore plays. Students go around the school and find everything on their search list and whoever gets the most wins a gift card to the bookstore to help purchase textbooks, lab coats, all the necessities. My college is amazing, simply put.
Campus Resources:
Sometimes they are slow, freeze up, or shut down.
Campus Resources:
there are always student activities, the campus only has a basketball team as far as I was informed, student center and library are filled with technology such as computers, television and game systems
Campus Resources:

I was keeping score at the game for "fun" tonight, and I ran into to situations where I wasn't sure how to mark it.
So, what would you have put on the sheet when Maddux was thrown out at first?
Secondly, when Vargas tossed to Braun to run down the guy that was going to third (I think it was Greene?), how would you mark that?

As someone that is recovering/in recovery from an eating disorder many people can be concerned that I am using activity (aka exercise) for the wrong reasons and to compensate for eating. I can see where their concern comes from but......
I always feel SO much better about myself after the gym (I workout with a personal trainer who knows me and my history very well) and feel emotionally lighter! This particular week my body image has been in the toilet and when I look in the mirror I see a body that looks like the Stay Puft marshmallow man from Ghostbusters. It makes it so hard to feel good in any of my clothes (even the ones that are usually my go to clothes on bad days) and so I spend most of the day fidgeting in/with my clothes and trying to shut the negative voices up in my head. Today I worked out with my trainer and told him about how bad the body image stuff has been this week. I think he was a little shocked at my description of how I see myself.
However, if felt SO good to feel comfortable enough to tell my trainer how I'm feeling. It was also awesome to have my focus shift from the physical appearance of my body to the physical strength of my body. It's amazing to me how shifting my focus from appearance to function can change how I feel about my body. I *KNOW* that I am physically strong and can do things that people wouldn't expect from me partly bc I am a woman but also bc I don't look like someone that is as physically active as I am.....and that is one of the hardest parts for me, that I don't look active. My trainer tells me all the time that he tries new exercises out on me bc if I can't do it he knows none of his other clients can do it either. That feels good too...to have my strength and endurance confirmed.
Today we did some things that used to be near impossible for me and while they were tough I was able to do all the reps and sets that my trainer wanted me to do. It felt good to be able to see that physical progress and it shows me that even if my body doesn't make the outward physical appearance changes that I want that there are so many healthy internal physical changes going on. My muscles continue to strengthen and to build up (without looking bulky) and my endurance has improved so much. I LOVE seeing the changes in stamina and that just reinforces that working out is doing good things for my body.
Physical activity for me is also a form of meditation. It's one of the few ways that I know how to still my mind and work through problems. It's not about burning calories and being miserable...it's about connecting with myself, with nature (I do as much as I can outdoors), building muscle/strength/stamina and most importantly is something that helps me feel better about my body.
Hopefully one day I'll be able to look in the mirror and like what I see looking back at me or at least not hate it so much. I know that some days are better than others and that lately I've been riding a 'recovery high' bc I've been doing so well. This week has been filled with "other" days and I'm just trying to negotiate them as best I can and keep doing what I need for my recovery.
In the meantime, I'm going to keep doing as much physical activity as I can (and as my food intake supports) and just focus on the strength and what my body can do and try not to make myself feel bad for not having that model body.
Life has been so interesting lately....well, lately being these last 4 months. There have been so many stunning and breath taking moments and also periods of overcoming struggles.
In my blogs I have been very open and honest about my struggle with bulimia and my fight for recovery. The last blog I wrote was nearly 2 months ago on the eve of my 5th month of abstinence. I am now 2 days away from 7 months!! I have not used my bulimic behaviors/symptoms since October 28th, 2012.
When I first started on this journey I NEVER ever thought I would be able to make it this far in my abstinence and recovery. It is simultaneously scary and exhilarating to be where I am with my recovery. My campus has has a collegiate recovery community that I have been accepted into. It's a community that helps facilitate recovery while being successful in academic pursuits. Being accepted into this community has been the culmination of a LOT of hard work. I have fought tremendously, reached out for support and built an amazing recovery community around myself. The scary part of all of this is that I'm so far out of my comfort zone that it's unreal! The good thing about that is that by being outside of my comfort zone I have the opportunity to continue to grow in my recovery journey and to become myself again....the true me...the honest me...to reconnect with the things that give me life and strength to face the harder times.
A huge part of my recovery journey has been working with a sponsor and working the 12 steps through EDA (eating disorders annonymous). This has involved some tremendously difficult and uncomfortable work but at the same time has really provided me with a chance to grow and rediscover myself. A huge part of the 12 steps involves connecting with a higher power and this has been a huge struggle for me. I was raised in one faith but as an adult I know that I have to walk a different spiritual path than the one I was raised with. I am slowly starting to make peace with this and to really own my spiritual journey. My sponsor is very supportive of my spiritual journey and is helping me to find my own truth even though her path is different from mine. I'm so grateful for her even when she pushes my buttons and me outside my comfort zone...I know she's helping me grow tremendously in my recovery. We went and checked out a spiritual meeting today that she heard about in her Cultural Competency class and thought would be a perfect fit for me. The experience today didn't make me shut down completely and made me feel like I wasn't the outcast that doesn't believe. I haven't made my mind up yet and know that I need to go a few more times before I really make up my mind. Told my sponsor today that I'm open to going again. Think that made her really happy. This experience was HUGE for me, my journey AND my recovery and progress with the 12 steps.
After the meeting my sponsor and I went and grabbed some lunch before we did some shopping so she could use the birthday present that me and another friend gave her back in March. I had never been to this restaurant and eating out tends to be a really stressful experience for me, especially when I'm not familiar with the menu and can't plan a "safe" meal. We ordered our food, ate and then headed to this AWESOME store so my friend could be professionally fitted for a bra by the most amazing women ever. We are fortunate to live near the Livi Rae Lingerie store AKA the Double Divas....seriously if you can ever make it to this store I highly suggest it. My sponsor was skeptical that the experience would be as awesome as I kept telling her it would be. However, after she tried on the first bra she was dumbfounded!! She said she's never been so comfortable in a bra and the change in her appearance was astounding...the girls were properly supported and made her look slimmer. We both had a great time AND I've successfully converted one more woman to wearing properly fitting bras. There was lots of kidding around about how much her husband was going to love the "new" girls We did a little more shopping after that at another store and then she brought me home. Ater she left I went and enjoyed the beautiful weather and wrote in my journal.
It was while journaling that I had the startling realization just how big of a deal eating lunch was. The first time we went out to eat in a restaurant (aug/sept 2012) I was a ball of anxiety and was visibly uncomfortable. It was a hard meal for me but I was able to do it with the support of my sponsor. Fast forward to today....there was NO anxiety about the menu, the food and nutrition facts, my eating disorder dictating what was acceptable for me to eat and telling me that I don't need the food. I didn't do any major modifications to the meal and the one change I did make was based on a taste preference and not bc of eating disorder reasons. I was also able to order my meal based on what sounded good and not what was lowest in calories and fat. All of these things are HUGE!!! I successfully ate a meal at a new restaurant without anxiety. I enjoyed what I ordered and had no feelings of good vs bad food. Having that realization was amazing for me. I often feel like I'm not making any progress in my recovery but today I have been able to see and realize just how far I have come! It feels amazing to be able to see my own progress and to own it. I'm so proud of myself and really feel that all the hard work I've been putting into my recovery is working and is truly worth it.
Life is good and I'm so grateful for the experiences that I am having right now.
It's been hard for me to be consistent with using spark these last few months. I have used it as an unhealthy way to act out in my eating disorder and I'm having a hard time using it as the healthy tool it is meant to be.
With that being said I will get 5 months of abstinence from purging on Thursday which is astounding to me. I can't believe I have made it as far as I have. I have been reaching out more for in person support/connections which has also resulted in decreased time on the computer and spark.
I do miss everyone and feel guilty for not being a bigger participant on spark. it will come again as the time is right and safe for me to get really active again. I have to protect my recovery at all costs right now.
I didn't mean to take a spark break. oops. honestly though, I think it was actually a really good thing for me. my eating hasn't been perfect and I've definitely struggled with skipping meals and not eating enough. HOWEVER, I have been doing AWESOME with not purging and no, I am not replacing purging with restricting. this last week has been kind of tough and I just haven't been very hungry.
My cousin is doing very well and recovering from her open heart surgery. things were pretty touch and go for a week but she's back at home and recovering.
I am back in school and taking two classes. This year I will be moving forward with a divorce but need to bide my time carefully because the house I live in is owned by my mother in law. I'm afraid that she might ask me to move out if I tell my husband too soon that I want a divorce. I'm also afraid that my estranged husband will stop paying for our daughter's school and I don't have the money to pay for it. She will start public kindergarten in the fall and so I'm hoping to hold out to the summer to really start the process. Another reason I'm trying to wait it out is because my car will be paid off soon and if I can hold out until then I will be able to take the car payment money and hopefully put it toward rent if I needed to.
I will also be applying to the nursing program this summer to start next January. Fingers crossed that I'm accepted!!
Long story short: one of my favorite cousins had to have open heart surgery today (at age of 35...so slightly older than me) for a recently discovered congenital heart defect that she's had her whole life. She made it through the surgery and they found that the hole was bigger than anticipated.....if you touch your middle finger to your thumb that's how big the hole was today but that it's ALWAYS been proportionally that big even as a child , they also found an aneurysm in her pulmonary artery because of the hole. She was rushed back into surgery about 3 hours later due to falling heart rate, and when they reopened her they found bleeding in her chest from several different areas and a couple of other things. before the 2nd surgery she did go into cardiac arrest and they had to use epinephrine and the defibrillators on her as well. so scared for my aunt, uncle and BOTH my cousins (she has an older sister that is my other favorite cousin).
if she had waited another 6 months it would have been too late. my heart is heavy tonight and I'm super worried. I know that for right now no news is probably good news. Drs say that her heart is really strong and actually lept off the heart/lung machine but this is just scary and sobering stuff. we're too young to be dealing with this stuff!!!!
so, if you pray regardless of who it's to please send a prayer up for my Laura and the rest of her family. If you don't pray but can spare positive vibes and thoughts please send those too.
hoping I can get some sleep tonight. last night was really tough and I'm running on less than 4 hrs of sleep. thanks to anyone that reads this.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Max Scherzer has been scratched from his Friday start against the Twins because of continued problems with his right shoulder, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today. The 28-year-old has been battling weakness in his throwing shoulder for a little more than a week, and now is believed to have a strained deltoid muscle.
Scherzer (16-7, 3.82) was pulled from his Sept. 18 start after two innings because of discomfort in his shoulder and was later diagnosed with shoulder fatigue. An MRI revealed no structural damage, nonetheless, the right-hander was shut down for three days to allow for inflammation to subside. Scherzer returned to the mound on Sunday and faced the Twins, but labored through five innings with decreased velocity.
Rookie left-hander Drew Smyly (4-3, 4.24) will start for the Tigers on Friday in Scherzer's place. The Tigers currently stand one game up on the Chicago White Sox in the A.L. Central with just seven games remaining.

Iron Decor reorganizes
August 1, 2007-- Casual Living,
Iron Decor, manufacturer of garden, fireplace and patio accessories and iron furniture, announced it will no longer be serving the specialty retail business and will focus on growth opportunities with its mass merchant accounts.
As a result, the Hidalgo, Texas-based company will close its distribution center when warehouse merchandise is sold out. As of June 20, its Atlanta showroom closed.
"Under our present reorganization, the product development division will serve as an important tool for growing our existing business with most of our existing major accounts," said Carolina Sosa, owner of Iron Decor. "Primarily, this reconstructed matrix will help us focus on the specific goals of each mass merchant and also strengthen our business relationship with our buyers."

Video: Athlete of the Week full interview: Sean Hickey - St. Thomas Academy
INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, Minn. - Sean Hickey is making up for lost time. The St Thomas Academy senior lacrosse player leads the state in points with 60. Over one-third of those points came last week in three games when Sean tallied 13 goals and 10 assists.
He's making up for lost time after playing just three minutes last season because of a broken collar bone suffered in the first game of the season. Sean's leadership and commitment to the sport is translating into big offensive numbers, like 19 points in his last two games.
Thanks in large part to Sean, St. Thomas Academy has a 9-2 record and its first winning season in boys lacrosse.

Poultney, Vermont -- November 3, 2011
Vermont police think they've solved a slew of bank robberies by a modern day Bonnie and Clyde.
Jill Ludwig and John Maynard were in Rutland Criminal Court Thursday, charged with robbing five banks in the span of three months. But their luck ran out Wednesday thanks to the sharp eyes and keen sense of Jeff Roberts, a Poultney barber. "I was just cleaning my tools and I see her pull up across the street and she got out and she had a hood on and it was a beautiful day out yesterday, there was no reason to have a hood," he said.Roberts says he saw Ludwig pull up in a black sedan with New Jersey plates. He said he jotted down her plate number after thinking that something just didn't seem right. "I thought it was kind of odd that somebody would be parking down here and walking up Main Street, because most people are going to park conveniently," he said.According to police, Ludwig walked up the block, into the Citizens Bank on Main Street and demanded cash. "The note said that nobody will be hurt -- so she led tellers to believe harm could be done," said Vermont State Police Lt. Tim Oliver.The teller gave her a bank bag of money, but put a dye pack in there too -- the only teller to do so in this string of robbery's according to police. The pack exploded a few steps out of the store emitting purple and red smoke from her purse. "A dye pack is placed in the money. It stains the money and leaves a discernable trail," Lt. Oliver said. The couple's streak of alleged robberies started on September 7th at the Merchants Bank in Rutland Town. Then, on October 7th, they struck the Lake Sunapee Bank in West Rutland. The TD bank in Granville, New York was targeted twice, first on October 25th and again on the 29th. But Poultney appears to be their last heist. Police say they did each job differently and got away with it because they didn't draw attention to themselves. "The first one in Rutland Town, he was the one who went in the bank and she was in the car, and the other one the other day, to the knowledge we have right now, she was alone,"Another difference in Poultney case was a credible witness who had a clear view of her pulling up across the street and lucky for police, was paying attention. Some say Jeff Roberts is a local hero, but he says he's just nosey. "I have a cash business. I can get robbed just as easy as anybody else so I kinda keep my eyes open," he said.A man looking forward to getting out of the spotlight and back behind the barbers chair where he says he belongs. "This is a sharp guy and we owe him a huge debt of gratitude," Lt. Oliver said.The pair are behind bars and have been ordered to have no contact with each other. Vermont and New York Police say once they wrap up the investigation they will present the case to federal investigators because the couple crossed state lines for their crimes.
