Sizzling Summer Heat - Week Eight- Jess Dee
The feature this week is Jess Dee. Dear, sweet --will not let me get away with ANYthing-- Jess.
When I discovered ebooks and Samhain I read her Photo Opportunity and Ask Adam, both fabulous stories-- and smiled at having found an excellent author to enjoy.
Then I started writing. By the fall of 2008 I decided to submit for another anthology. I knew my first synopsis had been very poorly done—I had no idea what one should look like. I really wanted to make a good impression on the editor of the call, so I decided the best way for me to learn was to see what a real synopsis looked like.
I know you can find them online. But frankly, to me, without reading both the synopsis AND the story, it wouldn't mean much. Then A Question of Trust released, and I loved it…again admiring Jess' work. She was a real author. She definitely knew what she was doing. I screwed up my courage and asked if she'd be comfortable letting a newbie see the synopsis for one of her three books. Please.
Can you image the nerve? Oh, how rude!!
But she answered me. Gave me all three synopsis. Offered to look mine over. Gave me fabulous advice not only about the synopsis but as time went by about the story itself. Rocky Mountain Heat releases in three weeks and I owe a great deal to Jess.
Now, ten months later, I'm pleased to count her as one of my dearest friends. A talented writer, critique partner and all round hoot. I'm so happy to feature her this week as a part of International Heat.
Jess lifts up people around her. She gives wholeheartedly, and the encouragement always seems to come at the exact right moment. She cheers, and bitches and swears in Australian, although she doesn't use dirty words too often. ☺ She's too gentle and polite. VBG.
Now I have to tell you a secret. Of everything I've read of Jess' (even the really hot and naughty stuff that no one else has seen) my favorites? You can get them already. They are fabulous stories based on real people. Only Tyler and Steve's Story are more than erotic romances, they have encouraged me to write what I love, no matter what. They are hot and exciting like all Jess' work, but they are gritty and real at the same time.
I've never been more impressed with an author's voice. I hope you love them too.
Be sure to enter a comment to be added to the list for a prize from our Australian rep on IH.

LOL, I'm sure my IH sisters would have a couple of comments to make about me being an incredible person. I can see it now:
Incredibly stupid, incredibly loud and noisy, incredibly outspoken...
(just to name a few.)*Snort*
Afshan, it is wonderful having the support of co-writers. And I have to say - my IH sisters are the best!!!

Sounds more like you are an incredible friend.

Thanx Kytaira.
And I promise, Viv's been just as good a friend to me.
She's some kind of wonderful.

This article made me shake my head:
"The important thing to know about Stenzel is that she admits that doesn't care about her message's effect on kids' health. As I reported in my book Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, in 2003, Stenzel gave a speech to a fundamentalist conference called "Reclaiming America for Christ," in which she rejected the idea that abstinence education should be judged by its effectiveness. "People of God," she cried, "can I beg you, to commit yourself to truth, not what works ... I don't care if it works, because at the end of the day I'm not answering to you, I'm answering to God!"
In Ohio, for example, a new budget bill would fine teachers up to $5,000 for instruction condoning "gateway sexual activity"—essentially heavy petting. Tennessee passed a similar law last year, with a fine of $500. Teachers, then, will think twice before telling kids that, for example, they can't catch a sexually transmitted disease by going to second base. But telling students that the birth-control pill could kill them? You can get paid for that."
What have you taught your kids in this regard and how have you handled their sexual coming of age or, if your kids are still young, how do you plan to handle it?
|Thu, 04-25-2013 - 12:21pm
We started when I was pregnant with Erica with the book The First Nine Months and showed Joy the pictures of what her sibling looked like at the various stages. And answered her (and later her sisters and now Dylan's) questions as they came up. Angela said that having a baby brother when she was 13 was way more instructive than any sex ed class at school.
Dylan was 10 when Joy and family moved in with us. She had kid #3 (Parker) while they lived with us. Dylan asked questions, listened in on conversations (not that private as he was in the room with us), and lived through Joy's pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding (and pumping), and what living with a newborn was like.
Sex is just one part of raising children. No different than teaching them anything else. Both picking your nose and masterbating are to be done in private, not public places.
|Thu, 04-25-2013 - 10:22am
Ex and I were open about sex ed.
When John turned 13, I bought a huge box of condoms, opened it and cut them into individual packages and put them all back inside the box and put it in John's bathroom. Then I told him they were there for him, that I did NOT NOT NOT NOT want him to be sexually active, but more than than I didn't want him to die if he chose to start against my will. Hence, the condoms placed in a way that made it difficult to me to be keeping track if he was using them or not or giving them out as party favors to his friends.
Every 3 months, I changed the box, first just tossing them out and then later handing them off to my imaginary roommate. I didn't want him to choose NOT to use them simply because he thought I might be keeping inventory. Now, I concede he could well have chosen not to use them anyway. I don't know and I don't care. I can't FORCE him to use condoms any more than I could FORCE him to abstain from sex. But I made sure he had the supplies he needed to at least help prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
I hate and despise out various religious groups have browbeaten the public school systems into lying to our students about the efficacy of birth control. It offends me that their "truth" has to be bolstered by lies and anyway, why is religion sticking its nosey nose where it has no business being?

I got the warm and fuzzies reading about Wellesley backing up the outspoken high school student. I hope that the principal of George Washington High School cried himself to sleep the night that he realized he's not master and commander of his students' lives and he cannot manipulate their conformity. What a fascist douche bag.
Sex education is a big subject currently in our household.
I think sex ed is a vital part of education. I struggle to see it any other way. I can't wrap my mind around condemning children for their choices when they aren't even aware of the options.

I teach age appropriate things. I answer everything and we are very open in our home.

When I was in high school I took a class called Home and Family Development. The teacher explained to us that in the state of Michigan she was not allowed ot discuss sex/birthd control so if we have any questions in that area she would have to stop teaching and just talk. Which is exactly what she did when a girl asked if it were true that you could not get pregant if you had sex while standing up.
I have to admit that I was not good at talking about sex/birth control etc when my DDs were younger but I did make sure that they had access to the informtion in books. Fast forward and because of family circumstances those things are being discussed.
A few weeks ago two of my DD posted on FB a huggies commercial they filmed in our town saying our town was chosen because of the baby booom going on. They both posted "don't drink the water". To which I repliede "You do know where babies actually come from don't you". DD3's answer "that is what you get in abstinence only classes."

Opportunity discovers 'blueberries' on Mars
In all the fuss about Curiosity, the new kid on the Martian block, it's been easy to forget about the Opportunity rover, and the work it has been doing for eight long years. Well, it seems Opportunity has made an interesting discovery worth looking at — small, round spherules which scientists are calling "blueberries."
So, just what are these things? Only a few millimeters across, some appear to be embedded in the rock while others are loose on the soil. The perplexing little orbs are believed to be concretion — a phenomenon also found on Earth. They are hard, compact masses of rock formed by mineral cement found within layers of sedimentary strata. They usually form before the rest of the sediment is hardened and buried in time.
Opportunity had previously discovered orbs in the Meridiani Planum, which have been found to contain hematite. One of the reasons the rover went there in the first place was that they resemble iron-oxide concretions in Utah known as the Moqui Marbles, which formed in groundwater. Could water have formed these, too?
But the Martian "blueberries" concretions are different. It's an unusually dense field of little spheres found near Opportunity's landing site on the eastern side of Cape York — the island-like shelf on the edge of the Endeavour Crater. With material that looks like "fins," it was identified from orbit as an area of interest for study in the Opportunity mission for its small clay deposits.
The rover is currently examining the area, so whether it actually has clay isn't clear yet. Interestingly, some of the "blueberry" spherules have broken open, allowing the Microscopic Imager (MI) on the rover to snap shots of their insides.
The unusually dense and physical nature of the outcrop is of interest because scientists are interested as to whether they are related to the clay deposits. Given how different they appear, are these different from the concretions found earlier? No hematite signature was detected while in orbit, so everyone is curious as to what might have made this "blueberry" field so different.
One of the tasks assigned to Opportunity was to specifically look for clay deposits, as that could indicate the berry-like formations were made in non-acidic water as clay often does on Earth. Though there is no absolute explanation for Martian clays, the Opportunity has found white gypsum-like veins seen near Cape York, which also indicates liquid water was likely in this location in the distant past.
As we wait to find out what is inside these strange "blueberries," Opportunity will be exploring the clay deposits along Endeavour's rim at Cape Tribulation.

Barcelona Cruise Port: Tourist Transport and Facilities At The Docks.
Page Content
|Barcelona cruise port terminal close to Port Vell
Where Are The Cruise Terminals?
The ports are at the foot of La Rambla (Barcelona's most famous Boulevard, also often referred to as Las Ramblas) which runs through the heart of the city centre.
Cruise terminal names and locations
There are 9 terminals in total at the Barcelona port, 7 of these are cruise terminals. They can be roughly categorized into 3 main locations.Adossat Quay Terminals
Terminals A, B, C and D are based at the Adossat Quay and are furthest away from the city centre. The Terminal D is also called Palacruceros.
World Trade Centre Terminals
There are 3 terminals at the World Trade Centre (WTC) pier which are called North, South and East terminals.
Sant Bertrand Terminal, is also near to the WTC (refer to our cruise terminal map) This terminal is generally used for ferries between Barcelona and the Balearic Islands.
Maremagnum Port Vell
There is one small terminal at the Maremagnum Port Vell however this terminal is mainly used for large ships and not cruise liners.
Barcelona Cruise Terminals Map
Options For travelling to and from the Cruise port to The City Centre.
The nearest cruise terminal to La Rambla is about a 10 minute walk away. However there are 7 cruise terminals and if you arrive at one which is furthest from La Rambla you would need to catch a shuttle bus called the Blue Bus (see details below) which will take you to Mirador de Colom (The memorial to Christopher Columbus).
It is not recommended to walk to the city centre if you are arriving at cruise terminals A, B, C or D (Adossat Quay) because you have a long walk (about 2 km) from the terminal to the Columbus Monument which is at the foot of La Rambla. If you have luggage you will not find this walk too comfortable in the midday heat. If you are arriving at the North, East or South cruise terminals (at the World Trade Centre) then it is possible for you to walk, although it is still a good 15 minutes to the foot of La Rambla.
|Blue Bus Shuttle (T3 PORTBUS) service that runs along the port of Barcelona
Cruise Port Shuttle Bus Service (Blue Bus)
The Blue Bus runs from all the Cruise port terminals to the monument of Christopher Columbus and back.
The walking time from the Christopher Columbus monument to La Rambla is about 1 minute, and the nearest Metro is Drassanes (Green Line, L3), which is only about 5 minutes walk from the monument.
Once at the metro you will have a good transport connection to the rest of the city. The price of the ticket is €2.00 for a single and €3.00 for a day return. The tickets can only be purchased with cash on the bus.
You cannot use the T10 transport ticket on this cruise bus service. There is no fixed timetable for the Blue Bus however the cruise terminal operators co-ordinate the running of the bus with the arrival and departures of the cruise ships. On average the bus leaves every 30 minutes from the Christopher Columbus monument.
The bus is adapted for easy access for the disabled traveller with a wheelchair.
If you are looking to take the Barcelona Tours Bus (The hop on hop off tourist site seeing bus) then you can do so from the Columbus monument. The tourist bus has a stop just a few meters from where the Blue Bus leaves from the Columbus monument.
The other option is to simply catch a taxi from the port to the city centre which is cheap (fare around €10.00 to the city centre) and quick (normally less than 10 minutes).
How to travel to the Docks from the Airport
Our page on the Barcelona airport transport explains the options for public transport to and from the Airport to the city centre. From there you would need to make your way to the ports by foot. None of the public transport methods take you directly to the ports from the airport so you would either need to make several changes using different transport systems or be prepared do some walking.
If you want to travel by public transport this is what you need to know: Take the Aerobus to Plaça Catalunya, then catch the metro from Catalunya to Drassanes. From there walk to the Columbus monument and then catch the Blue bus to your cruise terminal. As you can see it is not straight forward to use public transport to commute between the airport and cruise terminals.
The best option for travelling to and from the airport to the docks is to catch a taxi. Taxis are quick, available and cheap. The journey will take you about 25 minutes and will cost you around €25.00 - €30.00 . There are no additional charges for your luggage. You also have 2 additional supplements. One for taking you from the airport and the other for alighting at the cruise terminal or vice versa. For the exact taxi rates and supplements we recommend you visit the Metropolitan Institute For Barcelona Taxis web site that list all the up to date fares for Barcelona Taxis.
Important note that some tourists have instructed taxi drivers to go to "Terminal A" (or B or C etc) and the taxi driver has misunderstood and taken them to the airport terminal instead. Make sure you specifically say the Cruise Terminal otherwise you could end up at the airport instead!
Car And Coach Parking Near the Cruise Terminals
The terminals themselves only have temporary short term park facilities to give you enough time to load and unload. If you need longer term parking then the nearest private parks to the terminals are given below:
World Trade Centre
The world trade centre has the nearest car park to the terminals and is only a few minutes drive away. It can accommodate up to 900 vehicles. For further information on parking rates contact the World Trade Centre.
World Trade Centre Information line:
Tel: +34 93 508 8000 .
Paral.lel Car Park at Carrer l'Abat Safont, 2, 08001 is only about 5 minutes drive from the cruise ports. This is a underground car park. For more information including rates and exact location of this car / coach park click on the link below.
Paral.lel Car Park near the cruise terminal including rates, location and facilities.
Moll de La Fusta car park at Passeig de Colom, 1, 08002
This car par is also about 5 minutes drive from the port. It is an underground car park.
Moll de La Fusta Car Park, location, rates and fees
Car Parking Reduced Rates For Selected Cruise Ship Customers
If you are arriving on a cruise ship operated by Costa Cruceros, Travelplan or Pullmantur you can obtain preferential rates at the B:SM Litoral Port car park and P.R Biomedica. See our cheap long term car parking article below that explains more about this service.

Information on preferential rates for cruise passengers
Baggage Storage
There are no facilities for storing luggage actually at the ports themselves. We recommend you see our Baggage Storage in Barcelona article that will explain how you can store your bags.
Nearby Accommodation
Review of the Eurostars Grand Marina hotel
We have also created a page on hotels within walking distance of the cruise port.
|Columbus monument (Mirador de Colon)
The monument to Christopher Columbus (Colon) marks the foot of the Southern most end of the Ramblas. The Columbus monument is a useful landmark to find your bearings when walking toward La Rambla from your cruise ship. The walkway, which you can see in the centre of the picture, is Port Vell and behind us we have a walk way across the Marina to the Barcelona Aquarium and the IMAX Theatre. This picture was taken in October and the sun is still shinning!
Disabled facilities at the Port
The port caters for the disabled tourist including those with wheelchairs. The port has lifts at all major locations so travelling around with a wheelchair around the port area offers no obstacles. The Blue Bus (cruise shuttle bus service) is also adapted for the disabled traveller with a wheelchair.
Ferries To The Balearic Islands
If you wish to arrange a trip by ferry across to the Balearic Islands Mallorca, Minorca or Ibiza, it's recommended that you visit the official websites of the 3 ferry operators that offer this service to gain timetable and pricing information. The operators are:
Acciona Transmediterranea:
Website: Transmediterranea
Website: Balearia
Website: Iscomar

Congratulations are in order for the MS Society of Malta!
Posted on May 20th, 2011
The MS Society of Malta will be inaugurating their first ever premises on World MS Day this year. The society, which was formed 14 years ago, will be celebrating the opening of their new permanent residence with their donors, who have been supporting them from the outset. They are also expecting attendance from the Minister for Employment, Education and Family who will be giving a speech, as well as other government officials and it is hoped Archbishop Cremona will also attend to bless the premises. A reception to mark the day will follow the grand opening, and flyers and leaflets about MS and employment will be circulated. Tweet This Post Share on Facebook

These are photos and video taken on July 26th, 2011 at about 1:15pm in the town of Vernon of a severe thunderstorm which shortly thereafter produced the tornadoes and microburst in the town of Kirkland. I followed the storm initially from the town of Verona and routes 365 and 31, through Vernon and Westmoreland all the way to Franklin Springs in Kirkland where the microburst occurred. The video here was taken in the parking lot of the Utica-Rome Speedway facing west. The storm originally was moving about 40mph but gathered speed and intensity and was on top of us before we knew it. The storm arrived in the town of Kirkland and just exploded. We also observed funnels several times while chasing this storm.

Now, by happy coincidence, Shwayder can be named to the post permanently. During initial committee hearings, sponsor Peggy Kerns, a Democrat from Aurora, was quizzed about the "Shwayder Job Security Act" aspect of HB 1125. She denied that her legislation had any specific connection to the acting health director.
HB 1209: "It's just a piece of legislation--just defines what a farm can be," explains Representative Lewis Entz, the Alamosa County Republican who introduced the bill. "I just wanted to make sure it was defined."
Um, okay. Just another boring cleanup bill--"the Labor Peace Act definition of farm." Except that the bill, which already has been signed into law, takes pains to clearly define mushroom-growing operations as farms rather than commercial operations. Entz, a former Alamosa County commissioner, is familiar with the business; he voted to help the owners of Alamosa County's largest employer, Rakhra Mushroom Farm, sell revenue bonds to build the plant back in the 1970s.
The distinction is crucial, because if mushroom-growing is defined as a farming activity, it is exempt from most union-organizing protections. Not coincidentally, Rakhra's workers have been talking seriously about union organization and a strike since last year.
So what was HB 1209 about again? "I think it was an attempt to define a mushroom operation as a farm so the labor unions couldn't come in, hopefully," says Alamosa County Commissioner Tim Gallagher.
HB 1217: This bill has an innocuous-enough title: "School District Boundaries." But don't be fooled--HB 1217 is personal legislation at its best.
In 1993 the Fellowship Bible Church of Colorado Springs, a charitable organization entitled to a tax break, applied for a property-tax exemption on seventeen parcels of land. According to Susan Whitfield, manager of exemptions for the state Division of Property Taxation, the state instructed the church to consolidate the parcels so that they matched the assessor's maps in El Paso County. The church apparently got caught up in other business, though, and didn't complete the job until early 1996.
But the state can't grant a tax break more than two years after the fact, and the church appeared to be out of luck. So church officials did what any outraged citizens would do: They went to their legislator.
Fortunately, they didn't have to go very far. Representative Doug Dean, a Colorado Springs Republican, is a member of the congregation. He introduced a bill that would permit school districts (used for property-taxing purposes) to move portions of one property into the tax district of another. It passed. The church gets its tax break.
Individual property-tax quagmires offer some of the most fertile ground for raising personal legislation. Whitfield says at least one bill every year is so narrowly written that it clearly applies to a single individual or group.
Last year that group was a Fort Morgan church. Although the church had previously earned a property-tax exemption, it failed to file in 1992. When it finally got around to it, the two-year deadline had passed. Not to worry, though. Fort Morgan's representative and senator sponsored a bill that would permit the state to waive the deadline if "the interest of justice and equity would be served thereby." It passed, and the Fort Morgan church applied for the 1992 exemption in 1995 and received it.
HB 1245: On the surface, this is a public-safety bill; it permits counties with fewer than 15,000 residents--by far the majority of Colorado's counties--to adopt fire-safety codes. A second provision, however, directly ensures the continued business of a specific industry.
"Fireworks," explains Don Reichel, a lobbyist for the Colorado State Fire Fighters Association, "start a lot of fires." As a result, firefighters have always butted heads with the state's fireworks manufacturers, primarily Stonebraker (aka Rocky Mountain Fireworks) and Fire-King Fireworks. So HB 1245, sponsored by Martha Kreutz, an Arapahoe County Republican, and already signed into law, offered a compromise.
The first part of the law--the firefighters' portion--encourages small counties to adopt fire-safety standards. The second part says that the same counties are prevented from prohibiting the sale of permissible fireworks--thus protecting fireworks manufacturers from being eliminated by, just for example, new county fire-safety codes.
HB 1283: Introduced by Ken Chlouber, a Leadville Republican, this bill affects exactly two businesses, say state tax officials. The largest of them is in Chlouber's district: Asarco, which in a joint venture runs the Black Cloud Mine as well as the California Gulch Superfund cleanup site next door in Lake County.
Part of Asarco's business in Leadville is cleaning up the pollution mess left behind in the Yak Tunnel, which once was used to de-water active mines. In 1993 the company asked state lawmakers to make the water-treatment facility portion of its operation free from property taxes. Asarco contended that the plant was not part of its actual business--mining--but rather part of a federal requirement. The request, recalls Mary Huddleston, of the state's Division of Property Taxation, "was very unusual."
But the legislature declined to designate the water-cleanup part of Asarco's operation a charitable organization--just like churches and the Red Cross--and thus tax-free.
HB 1283, signed into law in March, aimed to clear the throats of those who had a hard time choking down the notion of Asarco as a charity but who wanted to give the company a tax break anyway. The new law allows the local assessor to value the water-cleanup part of a Superfund site (although the legislation doesn't offer any specific examples, Huddleston says only two businesses qualify--Asarco and Eagle Mine, in Eagle County) as separate from a company's for-profit operations and thus not subject to property taxes.

Shower time: Drive-thru horse washes in Herald Square
I'm grateful to see horses getting a little love in the waning years of regular horse-drawn vehicles in New York. But never realized they had their own drive-thru horse wash!
This 1912 horse recuperation station was made possible by William J. Gane, the proprietor of a few Herald Square moving picture houses and a 'pioneer exhibitor', according to one source.. He personally funded these way-stations for heated horses at Broadway and 33rd Street.
"A horse fell down across the street one afternoon in June, and it looked like it was going to die," Gane told the New York Sun. "They sent for a policeman to shoot the poor beast, but some of my men happened to be using a hose ... and I had them pour water over the horses's head and back for half an hour. The policeman didn't have anything to do, for the horse scrambled to his feet and went on."
The New York Water Department initially fined Gane $10 a day for the waste of water, yet he obstinately refused to stop providing the street-side shower service. He then installed the makeshift shower-head (pictured above) and the city left him alone.
Although some had sanitation concerns, others in the neighborhood thought the shower station good for business. The Sun even trumpeted the benefits in the headline "Water Troughs in Front of Saloons Good For Business, Say Proprietors."
"I like myself when I'm through with work," said the man operating the horse showers, "and I suppose the horses might feel the same way about it."

Stress eating, the reason I am fat. Am I overly tired? Eat. Am I angry? Eat. Did I have a bad day at work? Eat. Is my husband sick? Eat.
Food comforts me. Certain foods evoke strong emotions, memories of childhood, places, people. Cooking is relaxing after a stressful day. If I can't control a situation, at least my kitchen is running smoothly. And cookbooks are my favorite bedtime reading.
So, when I got sick this last week and had to go off my RA meds for 10 days, the stress got to me. I ate. I ate. I ate, brownies, sloppy joes, chips, Taco Bell, mac and cheese...I was stressed and tired and not feeling well, so that was an excuse to eat out, and make bad menu choices.
Crash and burn. And getting back on track is not happening. And that creates guilt and stress, which makes me want to stuff my face. Even as I sit here typing, I am so full from dinner that I am uncomfortable.
Usually, this is the end. My attempt at loosing weight is flung in the garbage heap, and I shuffle off into unhealthy eating once again. But now I MUST get healthy. Now loosing weight isn't really a choice. My weight can keep me from remission and create joint damage, fatigue, pain, not just a large waistline and a double chin.
The holidays are coming, but I can't use that as an excuse. This time I have got to make my health more important than food, and that is very difficult, when good health is so far down the road and the donut is right in front of me.
I've been working hard. I log in every day. I measure and count every bite. I track my food. I plan meals and create skinny recipes. I move daily. I review my goals.
My husband, on the other hand, is a real bum! He just tags along for the ride. He swills full sugar sodas. He just eats whatever I put on the table at meals, taking as many helpings as he wants with no measuring or anything. He downs boxes of Poptarts. He sneaks fast food burgers.
Now several weeks into this, I have lost 4 pounds. I'm glad for those 4 pounds. I worked hard for them. But today my husband gets on the scales and he has lost 10.2 pounds.
Salt, my secret obsession. I could eat it right out of the salt shaker. Actually I do. Now the doctor and the blood pressure cuff are telling me to lay off the salt, not just cut back but give it up entirely.
Chips, ramen noodles, fries, popcorn, dill pickles, peanuts...these are a few of my favorite things. For most of these things I can come up with a low fat alternative that satisfies, but they all need SALT.
Last night I was actually successful at dinner. I made spicy marinara and grilled portabellas over pasta. No salt added. It was delish. But the urge to "shake" was hard to resist. And how many recipes can I actually eat without salt? My success is doubtful at this moment, especially since I totally failed at lunch today. Who can resist ramen with a poached egg and Sriracha?
Of course the swollen legs and inability to wear cute shoes is a big incentive, but taste, that's a powerful force. And don't tell me Mrs. Dash is a great substitute. She's nothing but a poser in the worst sense of the word. It's a fine balance between my enjoyment of food and my need to be healthy. Most times in my life, the food wins out.
Like I've said before, I don't want to end up like my dad, eating myself into long term decline in health. But for a foodie, the adjustment is not going to be easy.
This time things are different. This time I have to try something new. This time I have to cut myself some slack. Rheumatoid Arthritis is changing my life.
This first week back to SparkPeople has had more than its share of challenges. Of course there are the moments when I forget and just stick something in my mouth without thinking about it, out of habit. But tracking everything has helped keep myself on track. The food part has actually been the easiest change. Planning and tracking what I eat has given me some sense of control over my health when other things are beyond my reach.
My biggest challenge has been exercise. My goal was to purposely move ten minutes every day. That may not seem like a lot to some people, and in the past that would have been a small goal, but this time I am living with RA.
Some days, just straightening my elbows counts as strenuous. Getting out of bed means hunched and shuffling with the classic RA morning stiffness. Standing up from my chair at work draws comments from others because some days the pain is written all over my face. So I have had to redefine exercise in my mind and make smaller steps.
On the bright side, I don't have to feel guilty when I see others working toward a marathon, or completing a 5K in record time. I have doctor's orders not to run. I have always hated running, so that's a load off my mind!
So accomplishment for me this week has been finding a range of motion and stretching routine that will work for me. I can do part of it before I even get out of bed. And going through the motions and stretches can be done again when I get home to keep me moving freer through the evening.
I tried Tai Chi this week too. Boring, and surprisingly difficult. I may give it another go. The morning afterward I felt as thought I had been to the gym and used the BIG weights! I have always enjoyed the gym and aerobic classes, but adjusting to RA speed and taking it slow will get me where I need to be, if not at the speed I am used to.
There are things in my body I can't control. I have RA, but (sorry for the clich�) it doesn't have to have me. I will do what I can. I will do the best I can right now, with the body I have. I don't understand why I have RA, what I am supposed to learn from this in my life. I sometimes get angry and frustrated. Yet, I will not let that anger and frustration paralyze me figuratively or literally. I will live my best life, and I will MOVE.

News: Idzik, Ryan and Bradway all on hand at Clemson Pro Day
(picture via Max Henson on Twitter)
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comPro Day season began this week and after spending Monday at Ole Miss, it seems that Jets Senior Director of College Scouting popped over to Auburn on Tuesday before being spotted in South Carolina Thursday at Clemson's Pro Day. While that is interesting in and of itself, it seems that Bradway was joined by Jets General Manager John Idzik and Head Coach Rex Ryan, thanks to a TJB tipster on hand for the proceedings.
Ryan's son, Seth, walked on for the Clemson football team and attends the school so while the Jets head coach might be double-dipping both business and pleasure in South Carolina, it's worth noting that Ryan was met by two of the highest ranking members of the team's front office.
Sammy Watkins (Projected pick: Top 10) — For this much Jets manpower to attend a Pro Day of potential draftees who fall well ahead or well behind their 18th pick, it has to be taken into consideration that the Jets are taking a good long look at Watkins. Watkins is the best of an incredibly deep class of receivers and projects by many to be an immediate impact maker at the pro level. With smooth acceleration and a good top speed coupled with sharp footwork, excellent body control and improving ball skills, wrapped up in an NFL veteran's presence at playing the ball and defender … he could be a very special player in the NFL. With multiple gears at multiple levels of the field, Watkins is the type of player that will likely make any NFL quarterback better. Are the Jets taking a serious look at the draft's top receiver to see what it would take for them to move up to acquire such a player? With the triumverate in Clemson today, it's hard not to think they are considering the cost … is the proverbial squeeze worth the juice?
Brandon Thomas (Projected pick: 2-3 round) — Thomas played well at the collegiate level and projects well to the pros as an interior linemen. The value of guards seems to be on the rise in a counter-move to the number of interior defensive linemen who are increasingly capable of creating damage in the NFL. Thomas would be a good fit and might slide into the spot left by Willie Colon, but are the Jets full up on the line after drafting three linemen last year?
WR Martavis Bryant (Projected pick: 2-3 round) — During the Clemson Pro Day, the Jets showed active interest in Bryant. This to me is interesting, but might it be a smokescreen for their interest in Watkins? Bryant is a raw athlete who Dane Brugler compares to Stephen Hill. Whether ahead or behind at this point, it's hard to say, but so far the Jets have already invested two years into Hill and would drafting a player like Bryant move them back to square one? While Bryant is tall and has a good frame (6'4″ 211 lbs) to play receiver in the NFL, he needs to tighten up a lot of his technique to hope to have much of an impact at the NFL. At Clemson, Bryant benefited from Watkins, didn't run a full route tree and double-caught more balls than many would like to see from a player with NFL aspirations. There might be something there for the Jets coaching staff to work with, but any expectations of early contribution in the NFL seem unlikely.
CB Bashuad Breeland (Projected pick: 3-4 round) — While he doesn't have the best timed speed and he might have benefited from staying one more year in school, Breeland has family on his mind and at age 22 the corner was ready to take on the NFL. He was smooth in positional drills at the Combine and has the fluidity NFL coaches like to see in defensive backs regardless of timed speed. Breeland is 6'0″ tall and has long arms, a trait many press man coverage teams like in their corners (like the Jets).
QB Tajh Boyd (Projected pick: 4-7 round) — Boyd was considered a top prospect last season, but after a lackluster 2013 his prospects have seemed to drop him. Boyd is said to have good ball placement and velocity on his passes and has demonstrated poise in the pocket. Boyd is also classified as having a "compact" body type with lateral agility that provides him elusivity on the run. For all these reasons, he's positively compared to Russell Wilson, but there are some concerns around his game. He's said to have too long a wind-up and he can drop his eyes in favor of scrambling too often. Rex has been complimentary of Boyd in the past … but is he the right fit for the Jets?
If Watkins falls to 7or8 what would it take to move up? Does anyone know that draft value chart?
Really, really like Martavis after some limited viewing. Just thought I'd pop in to mention that.
Here is an in-depth piece on combine results and if they are predictive and if so, which ones are predictive.
The Vertical leap and the 10 yard split in the 40 seem to have the most predictive value according to this piece and Beckham beat Watkins easily in both.
38.5" to 34.0" in the vertical, 1.50 to 1.55 in the 10 yard spit.
Height seems to have little predictive value as well as weight though Speed/weight combo can be predictive of guys who might not make it.....both players are fine in this category.
I am not arguing that Beckham is better than Watkins or vice versa...they are both terrific WR prospects and I think any team that selects them will be very pleased both now and down the road.
Based on film that I have watched of both guys, I like Beckham better.
Rex Ryan, attending Clemson pro day, tells AP he'd like to add a WR. Covets Sammy Watkins, "but there's no way he'll be there" at 18.
Yep, smokescreen.
I don't see why the Jets heavy hitters would all show up at Clemson to see Watkins or any one else there....mayb we have interest in something else?
Odell Beckham Jr > Sammy Watkins .. Stay at 18 and you have your choice of
Beckham Jr, Jordan Matthews, Allen Robinson, Brandin Cooks .. Stay at 18!!
@a57se Haha, you're the best man. You're focusing on one of the multiple formulas discussed there. Watkins has a much better "speed score," for example. And his explosion number will be better, since he's bigger and was only .5" less than Beckham on combined vertical/broad jumps.
Based on film it seems most NFL teams like Watkins more. Maybe Beckham shocks the world and gets picked first, who knows.
So like I asked before, why would all the heavy hitters be there? Tajh Boyd? You'd think Marty or Lee would be there as well....
@a57se I'm pretty sure they went to see the football players, but maybe they went for the scenery.
@JCuratola3 you have to support statements like that with facts.
@JCuratola3 Beckham is not better than Watkins, settle down over there Joe.
@bklyndude @a57se Okay, who let Matt Millen back in the building?
Peep the combine results and some tape. Facts.
Watch the tape, it is not that far fetched of a statement.......Beckham's measurables are better than Watkins but he didn't play in the same type offense so his college production is not the same. If Beckham had gone to Clemson and Watkins had gone to LSU,. the shoe could easily be on the other foot.
For people who don't watch film there is now way to prove the assertion.
Beckham seems to be faster than Watkins although from Watkins broad I would say Watkins is more explosive off the snap. Beckham has bigger hands and I think he is a better pass catcher. Watkins is stronger. I honestly think they are both top WRs Evans being another top WR however they are different. I like a receiver like ODB who can do it all. Not mostly breakouts in bubble screens and slants.
That sounds more likely......
@bklyndude Or maybe they just convened in one place to discuss ongoing contract issues.
@a57se @bklyndude @Bent
Bradway was in Auburn yesterday and probably met the guys in Clemson. I'm sure all opinions matter if a move up is considered.
I hear ya but there really isn't anyone of that high a standing to warrant that level of involvement to me.....the rest of the Clemson players are 3rd round or later type guys....probably nothing to read into here.
Oh, I see, Bent just copied your post...i thought he copied the actual tweet!
@a57se @Bent @bklyndude No, I added that because you said he was as good as Watkins earlier.....a little humor.
So rappaport is basically equating Watkins to Beckham...I don't think he is that far off.
@bklyndude @a57se @Bent That's what he wrote ^^^
@bklyndude @a57se @Bent Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 43m
I don't know if they can pull it off. But #Lions are showing a TON of interest in Sammy Watkins. They draft No. 10… & have Megatron
The Lions could just draft Beckham at ten.
@bklyndude @a57se @Bent It shows as approved? Must be a glitch. I can see it, which is why I replied to it.
@a57se @bklyndude @Bent I tried pasting the Rapoport tweet. I guess that's no good.
Yeah, I got that, thanks...the deleted post is what I missed....
@a57se @Bent @bklyndude Lions are reportedly interested in moving up from 10th spot to get Sammy Watkins. Millen when in Detroit loved drafting WR's.
What happened?
@Bent @bklyndude @a57se Ian Rapoport tweeted the Lions are interested in moving up for Sammy Watkins. Shades of Matt Millen ?
They could just draft Odell Beckham.
@Bent Only if it's the game tape from this years Mobile/Clemson Hooters Wash-Off Car Wash Charity Competition. I heard that was a great match.
@a57se Pardon?
Another example of you getting salty because you got called out on a BS comment. Just like Brees isn't elite. Or Geno limiting turnovers isn't improving his play.
Any time you say something false, and it's proven false you either ignore it or act like the person is just chasing you around to be a jerk.
The discussion here is Watkins vs. Beckham. The focus of my comments are the false representation that Beckham "has better measureables" than Watkins, mainly because he doesn't. They have comparable measureables.
@Brendan @JCuratola3
The unofficial 40 times, beckham was faster, the official times were the same.
three out of 4 results that are most predicitive for WR's Beckham was demonstrably better but you fail to see a difference...OK.
@JCuratola3 No, Beckham didn't run a faster 40. Check your "facts" again.
@a57se And Watkins is taller, weights more, had a better broad jump, more bench reps.
Beckham had better 3-cone, 20 yard shuttle, vertical jump.
They had identical 40 times.
Tell me again how that means Beckham has "better measureables."
It's not facts ? Beckham ran a quicker 40 therefore he's faster .. Watkins had a better broad and bench therefore a he's stronger and more explosive. Beckham has bigger hands and from tape has better hands. That last one maybean opinion the other two are facts.
Put the numbers up Brendan.
Beckham was way better in the 3-cone and the 20 yard shuttle.
@JCuratola3 Those are not "facts." The combine showed Watkins and Beckham as comparable, elite athletes. The tape shows Watkins as a better pure WR in nearly everyone's eyes.
@a57se @SackDance99 Do you think he will fall to 18 based on that critique you read somewhere.
What I read on Evans suggests he comes off the line too high and that it might be easy for the defender to get into his chest, in which case he is done......
@Stanley Bostitch @SackDance99 @Bent @a57se Watkins could go as high as #2. i'm not sure our first, Tampa's 3rd, and a 5th get us there.
@Brendan @Stanley Bostitch Y Tampa 3rd. I'm with you on Evans. Monster arms.
@Stanley Bostitch I assume "early 3rd" means Tampa's 3rd?
Either way, I'm probably going with Evans there.
@SackDance99 @Bent @a57se Hmmm so which scenario do you prefer?
Trade our 1st, early 3rd, and say a 5th to get Watkins, or
Trade our 1st and 4th to get Evans
Assuming they go 5-8 picks apart. I currently have a man crush on Evans but haven't seen any tape on Watkins to know if I should switch allegiances.
@Bent @SackDance99@a57seBig guys have natural separation because of their big bodies, too. I haven't seen enough of Evans to know whether he can swat away press coverage or body position it away. Boldin, who is pretty big at 6-1 and lacks elite speed, has the knack for beating press coverage with physicality...he always gets open. Graham, as we saw last year, struggles with press coverage (likely because TEs are rarely pressed, just bumped). If Evans can beat press coverage, he'll be a complete beast.
@a57se Show the tape that proves you're wrong in stating Beckham has "better measurables?" I can just produce the links to their combine pages.
(also, you didn't provide any knocks on his game in that post, so I'm assuming the answer is "no?")
@a57se Can you even produce knocks on Beckham's game? Out of curiosity, I'd love to hear what you think he has to improve on.
@SackDance99 @Bent @a57se Ok, maybe the other way round then.
Exactly and there have been questions about Evans and press coverage as well....Missouri and another team did well against him.
@bklyndude @a57se@Omari Brown@JCuratola3
I've never seen Beckham put his hands up towards a defender (as if to say Don't hit me) and run out of bounds to avoid contact but I saw Watkins do it many times. Watch the film and see for yourself.
@JCuratola3 Have you watched Watkins' tape?
That same criticism applies to Watkins.....but beckham wasn't pressed much that I saw in his game tape and had no issues the limited times he was.
I believe that is just speculation because there are not many college CB's who press anyway.
@a57se @Omari Brown @JCuratola3 I don't think it's close as far as who is the more physical WR which is absolutely a factor at the next level.
Beckham looks good, but not as good.
Exactly .. Tape dont lie and not highlights
As you know, I don't really follow the draft stuff that closely, but I read somewhere else that if Beckham has a weakness it's that he hasn't really shown an ability to get separation when dealing with press coverage.
As you've obviously watched a lot of this guy, is it a fair comment, completely off base or something which has merit but you believe he can overcome?
Just thought it was interesting in light of Marty's comments that they are targeting receivers who can (a) catch the ball (check!) and (b) get off press coverage at the line (unknown).
How do you justify saying that his measurables are better? They're comparable. Watkins is better in some regards, Beckham in others.
The difference between someone who watches film for himself and someone who reads what everyone else writes.

Guwahati, Nov 15: Indefinite curfew was imposed in Assam's troubled Kokrajhar district Thursday after suspected militants shot dead a man and stabbed another.
The stray incidents of violence, continuing in Kokrajhar and Baksa districts of the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD), had claimed six lives and left six injured since last week, officials said.
The army, which was called in Wednesday night to handle the situation, carried out a flag march in all sensitive areas of Kokrajhar Thursday.
While the first incident took place during curfew, when suspected militants stabbed one Abul Kalam, the second incident took place in Telipara where suspected militants shot dead one Nirisan Basumatary.
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi asked Director General of Police Jayanta Narayan Choudhury to proceed to BTAD to take stock of the situation and restore normalcy, said a statement by the chief minister's office.
Choudhury was also told to take strong punitive action against those perpetrating the violence.
Gogoi also asked Minister for Industries and Power Pradyut Bordoloi to proceed to BTAD.
"We are concerned about the situation in BTAD. There are some people who do not want peace to return to the BTAD. There are also lots of forces instigating the violence in BTAD," Gogoi told reporters, adding that six people had been killed in BTAD since last week.
Gogoi also indicated the role of anti-talk faction of the Bodo militant outfit National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) behind the violence.
Besides violence in BTAD, suspected NDFB militants had also killed a tea planter in Sonitpur district on Tuesday.
"The group of ministers constituted for relief and rehabilitation would also visit in BTAD soon," Gogoi said.
He said he had discussed the situation with General officer Commanding, 4 Corps, Gen. C.A. Krishnan.
The officer is likely to visit BTAD Friday.
"The district administration has imposed indefinite curfew in view of the continued violence," said Inspector General of Police (BTAD) G.P. Singh.
He said the army had conducted a flag march in all the sensitive areas of the district.
Singh said the condition of the man injured during an attack at a weekly market in Kokrajhar Thursday was serious.
Kokrajhar and Chirang districts, which form Assam's BTAD along with Udalguri and Baksa, had witnessed one of the worst communal clashes earlier this year which led to the death of over 100 people and displacement of over four lakh people from their homes. (IANS)
