My friend asked me to work out with her. I am all for working out, and I know it is always less boring with a partner, but..
She and I are not in the same place. Yeah she's out of shape and needs to lose weight, but she's already half my size.
My friend is like 170 trying to be 145ish at 5'0. I am 312 trying to get to 120 slowly but surely at a height of 5'2. (We are both 19 years old.) We are very different stats wise. We have different builds. She's heavy up top (cone?) and I'm more like a subtly curved pear. [The figure I've depicted for myself is from when I was around 135 like 6 or 7 years ago. I have really small like, AAA battery sized boobs at a healthy weight, so my hips appear slightly wide, thus the slight pear shape.] Not to mention she's not really THAT serious/dedicated to all of this. She just wants to wear a 2 piece and booty shorts next summer. She doesn't care for eating healthy or being healthy overall. (Judging by how much she asks me to go out to eat or brings fast food to my house for herself to eat while we watch tv.)
We're just at different stages in this process.
I doubt we'll actually get around to working out together anyways since we have different schedules and only see each other 3 nights a week to catch up on shows together. That being said I don't know why I am even blogging about this, haha.
I feel like she would feel better about herself if she was exercising by me...
She tends to validate how little she is by comparing herself to me. I don't think she MEANS to be mean, but I can see what she's doing when it happens.
Aside from anything related to sizes and weight loss, we're very similar.
I think it's safe to say she's got to find a different friend to workout with. lol I'll just stick to trying to get my mom to workout with me. (My mom is about 42 y/o, 364 (not sure of her goal weight), and 5'3.5 - 5'4. I've never seen her at a healthy weight.... so I don't know her build underneath. I imagine she's a mix of top heavy [cone?] and hour glass.)
I have a twin sister who is even more similar to me... but she doesn't care for being healthy either. She just wants to get to like 180, go to the gym like 1 time a month and eat crap all day. -_- We are going to be some odd looking twins when the weight loss is over, lol.
This blog was all over the place.. Hadn't blogged in a week or so, so I thought I'd go ahead and do so.
Bye til next time.
My last blog was about putting in 100% of my effort and dedication, and then I completely ceased to be here. I have been in a lot of pain and could barely get out of the bed. Some nights I didn't go to sleep because of the pain. I was dizzy often and sick always. Just my luck. Every time I get really into this lifestyle change, something pulls me back down.
I was going to continue to post on here throughout that time, but for one, the light really hurt my eyes and secondly, people on these kinds of websites think people want attention when they constantly are sick/hurt and post about it. So I dealt with it in private. How is it that a support website can make you feel unsupported? Story of my life. I still feel crappy but nowhere near as bad as I did the end of July/entire month of August. I decided to just suck it up and do what I can, because I can only get worse sitting on my butt. My pain is mostly in my spine and skull, which sounds risky (and maybe it is), but I feel like I need to take control in some way.
So yesterday, I began working out again. It was just a 32 minute trial cardio workout to make sure I am okay. I completed it (with only two 1 minute breaks). Today I am doing the same workout, plus some arm workouts. Tomorrow will be cardio and back workouts.
September Goals:
- Lose 8 lbs
- Workout 4x a week min.
- Drink at least 6 cups of water (it's not where I need to be, but it is a step up).
- Try new foods.
Already completed one of my goals! I tried kale today. Last night I tried guacamole. :) Branching outtttt.
That's all for today. About to get in some water and go workout. I have a lot of homework to do and shows to watch, haha. (Listening to/kind of watching the show for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders right now as I blog this and do one of my assignments.)
So yesterday, my official day 1 after my post the day before, I did not exercise.
Because I woke up around 8pm, and that was only because my friend came over. By time she left it was 1am and I was tired again. Today, I woke up around 7pm. I refuse to not workout AGAIN (although I guess yesterday could be counted as a rest day). I normally don't exercise at night because I have a fear that people outside can see me (or my shadow rather).
Today I'm making an exception and facing that fear. I don't know what is causing my major sleepiness and fatigue, but I will push past it. So I was planning to double up my exercise to compensate for yesterday, but I realized I can count that as a rest day. Plus I have a headache that gets worse when I'm in motion. I did 50 squats a little while ago and right after I was done that's when the headache started. Haven't been able to shake it since (I only use pain meds if it is unbearable).
Also, it's probably not best to double up because I've only had 2 greek yogurts, a turkey burger, and some green beans today. Not a lot of calories and nutrients and therefore, not enough fuel.
So I'll just do my 50 minute workout like I planned.
Otherthan that, I'm doing okay. Ohh, and I weighed in at 299.6 today!! Woo! Out of the 300s. Now I just have to keep it that way and make sure I don't gain. :)
I've been relatively consistent ever since coming back from my illness and injury period. I hit 301 at my last weigh in (last week on Wednesday) and desperately want to be under 300 this upcoming weigh in.
In feeling how bad I want this, I realized I want to stay routinely consistent so that 1) I don't have to stress over every weigh in or weigh myself everyday to make sure my mess ups the day before didn't hurt me too bad, and 2) so that I can gain confidence and KNOW for sure that I am giving it my all and whatever the scale doesn't reflect is not due to my lack of 100% commitment.
If you've ever watched TrulyDaily videos by TrulyJess on youtube, then you have seen her and how she gives 110% every single day. She has been making vlogs daily since the first of the year following her fitness journey, and she has not missed a day. She has not let up yet. At this point 7 months into the year, you know it's without a doubt a routine for her. She just does it. She even used to workout twice a day, until she started a muscle building program that she pays for where she gets personalized workouts and clean eating plans. She looks amazing and she's not even done yet. Ultimately she wants to do bikini or figure competitions.
Everyday her commitment makes me want to kick my own butt at the gym (and I don't even go to a gym).
So now, for my day 1 post.
It's a little after 11am. I haven't worked out yet, because I'm having some acid reflux issues (I don't take meds, can't afford the good ones that work for me). So I'm waiting for that to go away before I start. I have thrown up quite a bit of acidic clear liquid this morning, so I don't think it is wise to exercise on that. In the meantime I have been drinking water and keeping my motivation to work out up by watching related YouTube videos and exploring SparkPeople. When the burning feeling in my throat wears off, I'll go workout.
To workout I've been doing 2 mile walks using Leslie Sansone DVDs (32 minutes). I also do squats and arm stuff with weights. I'm going to try my hand with my elliptical today, though I think I'm beginning to see a connection between that and my worsening back injury flare ups. (As in it only is really painful a few days after I use that.) It's just that I paid so much for it, I feel like I should give it a chance to do what I paid for it to do. Maybe I need to have better form. :/
Most days I track my food on MFP. I am going to get back to doing it everyday, for the sake of this 100% dedication commitment. Some stuff I eat is really hard to track though. The measurements are really weird.. People always say track everything that goes in your mouth, but when you only eat 3 teddy grahams out of a whole pack it's kind of tricky.
Anyways, day 2's blog will be better, because it will have the actual contents of my day, and I'm thinking about doing pictures of my meals, in it. Not just introductory stuff. I may post another blog later for my official Day 1.
Most of these weights were taken in school during health exams in P.E.
5- Starting getting fat. No known weight.
6 - When I started noticing I was bigger than everyone else. (My son is going to be 6 in about 6 days, and I'm so thankful that he is always one of the smallest of his peers. I always make sure he is age, weight, and height proportionate and have taught him to like healthy food. He also loves to exercise. I even got him a boxing bag+ gloves, a soccer ball, and little 1 lb weights. He likes to do yoga sometimes, and he does fitness dvds with me (or by himself if I'm being lazy or already worked out that day). Being overweight or obese runs in my family and I vowed to not let my kid go through that.) No known weight for myself at this age.
9 or 10? - not sure how old I was, but it's around there. I was 135. My brother who is about to enter 4th grade, is about 70 - 80 lbs. That sounds a teeny bit big, but he's not actually fat at all. He's kind of tall and is built like a basketball player.
12- around 145 lbs (had lost a lot of weight right before this weighing, though I'm not sure how much bigger I was, due to an eating disorder)
13 - 202 lbs. This is my post pregnancy weight. (rape and all that depressing crap... don't ask or comment about this please....)
15 - 9th Grade- 225 lbs. Me and my twin sister were the same weight up until a bit after this. We started moving around a lot.. Change and the presence of other people, let alone new people, stress me out to the point of I-want-to-die depression.. I also have paranoia issues, which doesn't help.
17- 274 lbs. I was in my first attempt at weight loss here. I got down to about 220 lbs in 3 months or so.
Okay, my heighest weight is at 19. I was 322. At 18 I moved around a lot again. My family was briefly in a homeless shelter and I hated life. This caused depression and another suicide attempt (first one at 14), which put me on psych meds again, which caused my weight to balloon.
Currently still 19. I weigh about 301 as of my last official weigh in.
So, I just wanted to write this down because I always see people say "I'm lighter than I was in highschool" or "I'm lighter than I was when I was ___ years old!" So, I know I may forget how old I was at certain weights by time I hit goal. I barely remember as it is. I like to compare things, so I definitely want to be able to say I weigh less than I did in 3rd or 4th grade. 120 is my UGW (ultimate goal weight).

From which do you learn more your failures or your successes? Most of us spend more time brooding over our failures than we do replaying our successes. Unfortunately, brooding is not a very productive activity and we rarely take the time to analyze which ingredients in our planning, preparation, and effort needed improvement. Yet, failures are very much worth analysis because hidden within them is a veritable road map to future success.
Our Mistakes are often Systematic
We each have our own way of approaching tasks and goals that is unique to us. For example when it comes to how we prepare, we might tend to invest a lot of time and effort in planning, we might tend to rush through the planning stages, or we might tend to neglect the planning stage entirely. Whatever our proclivities, we are likely to enact the same tendencies each time we approach a task and consequently, to make the same mistakes. Indeed, most people make only few errors but find endless ways to repeat them. Analyzing our failures can help us expose our blind spots so we can then minimize them and by doing so, radically increase our likelihood of future success.

How to Make Caramel Flan

Chef John Simmons prepares Caramel Flan
Caramel Flan recipe,caramel dessert,caramel flan,cheflive,john simmons
Grab video code:
Okay! We are going to make Caramel Flan. This is a basic caramel flan that I like to make. It's kind of a -- flan is kind of a South American thing, but pretty much everybody has their version of flan which is a basic custard. In French, you have creme brulee, and like Spain you have flan, down in Mexico and South America, they have a flan, but it is a little bit heavier.
I am going to crack nine eggs. Actually I am going to crack -- I've got three eggs, three whole eggs, and then I am going to do six, just the yolk. So the yolks are going to give it kind of a little bit more richness.
Then you want to keep some of the whites in there, because the white is what's going to bind it and hold it together. So I have got three whole eggs, and you want to just separate the yolks up, the rest of the six eggs. This is like a really easy thing to make, and it's super sexy when you put it out on a plate at the end of it.
It's another one of those make ahead desserts, that's actually supposed to be made ahead. This is what we are going to do, we are going to make a caramel, then we are going to put it in the bottom of our little cup, little cup or ramekin, and then we put in the custard. So the egg whites you can toss, we don't need that.
So to make the caramel, I have got a hot pan. What we need to do is put some sugar in there, maybe a half-a-cup of sugar. Just put it right in the pan. You want the pan hot. Then, add a little water.
You're just going to cook that until it turns into a light brown. I also like to add a little bit of lemon to it. Kind of freshens up the flavor and it helps it to dissolve. So we are going to cook that till it gets brown.
In the meantime, I have got a little bit of vegetable oil. You can also use that spray, like vegetable oil spray, but these little cups are great. But, you can also use -- you can use like a muffin pan is good. But, if you could find these little kind of like foil cups, they are fantastic.
I like them because you don't have to wash them, they are going to be this nice. But, we are going to cook that with some oil, keep an eye on your caramel because it will turn from light brown to black quickly. Light brown is good, but black is not as good.
So we are coating our little cups here. Now, the recipe, we will make eight, eight of these guys. Well, while that's going, what I am going to do is continue with our custard here. Get my egg mixture, two cups of milk, and two cups of heavy cream. We need six ounces of sugar.
Caramel is starting to kind of thicken up, you could see. It's just kind of starting to change color. So we want to keep an eye on that. I am going to blend up my custard mix with my trusty immersion blender.
You want this just to combine because I don't like them have the little bubbles. A lot of the times you get flan and it's got the little bubbles inside, and then it gets all kind of broken up and looks like sweetened scrambled eggs. I like to have like a very custody, consistency all the way through.
So if you mix this too much, it's going to get a lot of bubbles suspended in there. In the meantime our caramel is coming around nicely. See, it's turning a little bit yellow. That's about right. It's a very sensitive thing. If it gets too dark, then your custard will be really better and stronger. I am going to just put a little bit of caramel on the bottom of each cup, just enough to cover.
The beautiful thing about this dish is it makes its own sauce. It's like you can make it ahead, make it the day before, and keep them in the refrigerator. There we go. Now, be careful because this stuff is hot. I know people who have had like surgically repaired from spilling hot sugar on themselves.
It's like lava. As you see, it will continue cooking. So you can't like say okay, it's reached the proper color like this, it's got this nice amber color. I think, I will take it off the fire, and leave it. Say no, because there is so much heat built up inside of that sugar, that it will just keep cooking and it will burn.
So you've got to time it so that as soon as the caramel is ready, you put it right in the cup, and then the cup, it will stop cooking in the cup, but these cups are hot. I mean this stuff, this stuff is like lava.
Okay, so I have got my little cuppies, and I have got a pan, shallow pan. What I am going to do is put my cups in here. Then, take my custard, and I am going to ladle them in there. Fill the cup almost to the top.
Like I said, you can use like a regular like a glass ramekin. But, these work better, I will show you why in a second because it's a lot easier to get them out at the end. It's cool too. You will see. So we are going to cover up that caramel.
Now, what's going to happen is, when I cook these, the caramel is going to setup very gently. I mean the custard is going to setup very gently. That caramel is going to stay solid on the bottom. So I am going to cook it and it's going to kind of liquify the caramel and it's going to cook the custard.
Then, I am going to put these in refrigerator for at least an hour until they get chilled, and the condensation on the inside of these cups is going to melt the caramel and turn it into a liquid, and then the liquid will sauce the dish for you.
Makes for a really cool presentation. And although you have to work ahead of time, it's really easy. I mean, these ingredients are simple. You can also put a little bit of vanilla in here if you want to flavor it with vanilla.
Now it's a very sensitive dish. The caramel is very sensitive in handling that. Also when you are cooking this at the end, you have got to be very careful, because if it cooks too much, the eggs inside of the custard are going to tighten up and it's going to break. So it's going to turn it in scrambled eggs.
So what we want to do is cook it in a water bath. The best way to do this is, first, I put my cups in here like you saw, then I fill them. Then, I am going to put the water in. Otherwise, your cups are floating around in the water. So you are going to fill it till they're about half way up. Then, I am going to put this on the fire, just for a second to bring the water to a simmer. Because if you stir with the hot water, it cooks more quickly.
Next trick. Again, this is like very simple, just like what four, five ingredients. But, there is a couple of little techniques that if you don't use them correctly, you could screw it up or at least it won't be as good as it could be.
So I got my water moving in here. Next, cover with some foil. Then I want to poke holes all in the foil because if you don't -- so we want this to cook very gently. We have got this delicate custard and it's got just enough egg white in it to hold it together.
So if you don't cook it just right, it's going to break or it's not going to even setup at all. When I poke all these holes in the top, that allows the moisture, the steam to escape. So otherwise, the condensation on the top of the foil is going to collect and then the water is going to drip into the custard, and dilute the custard, and the custard will never setup and solidify.
So it's kind of a very fine line. It needs a little bit of steam to cook the top. If you don't use the foil, then it's too rough, and the top cooks too quickly. But, this works perfectly. I have cooked about hundred thousand of these suckers this way.
I am going to put this in a very low oven, 250 degrees. When you cook that about a half-an-hour, you want to check on them. Just peek under the foil, check after 15 minutes, and like every 5 minutes after I would say, if you shake the pan a little bit, there should be no rippling on top. It should be solid, but you don't want it to be like hard. It's kind of a touchy little thing.
So after they come out of the oven, we need to refrigerate them, it has to be done. Because otherwise, if it's not chilled, firstly, when you turn them out, they are going to -- and secondly, you want them to be in the chilled, so that the caramel on top, it's actually in the bottom, but it will end up on top.
So that is going to dissolve from all the condensation inside of here, and liquify and make the sauce for you. There, plate, you got your -- this is chilled. These are cooked already at the restaurant.
They have been setup. Turn it out, take a little knife, just poke a little hole on top, and that releases the sauce. You can just see how the sauce will kind of shut out, then you pick that up. You've got a beautiful flan. Very cool!

Sergio Perez has to do it all over again and show F1's top teams what he is capable of at Force India, but he is confident he will pull it off.
Having secured a race seat at McLaren this year on the back of two excellent seasons at Sauber, things didn't go according to plan for the Mexican at Woking.
With the team failing to produce a car that could challenge at the front of the grid, Perez finished 11th in the standings with a fifth place in India his best performance of the campaign.
McLaren then decided to replace him with rookie Kevin Magnussen and that gave Force India the chance to snap up the 23-year-old for the 2014 season.
Asked by Sky Sports Online if he now has to prove himself again, he replied: "Yeah, yeah, of course. To prove myself to the top teams once again. I did it last year so I don't see any reason why I cannot do it again. I have confidence in my talent and I know what I can do."
By the time McLaren told him that he was not in their plans for 2014, several teams had already confirmed their line-ups for 2014, leaving Perez with very few options.
But he jumped at the chance to move to Force India.
"I was close because the decision [from McLaren] came really late and I was not willing to join the smaller teams," he said.
"I'm very hungry and willing to prove myself in Formula 1 so I always thought that maybe if I don't get the drive at Force India it was going to be more difficult for me to stay in F1. Luckily we managed to get it and I'm really looking forward to the future ahead."
Despite moving from one of the top teams in F1 to a mid-table squad, Perez is optimistic that it will be a good move for his career.
"You never know what the future holds, especially in Formula 1. All what I'm hoping is to look back in a few years' time and say that it was the best that could have happened for my career," he said. "Hopefully by joining Force India it will be really good for my career in Formula 1. Obviously I have big targets in F1, big dreams, and I want to make them happen."

Environmental Scan: Planning Questions - Research and Planning Office
Headcount numbers of Hispanic students declined by 5.1% in 2007FA at the same time district Hispanic population increased from 18.0% to 19.4% of district residents, widening the under-represented gap for Hispanics on campus from 6.4% to 8.0%. With targeted efforts to reach Hispanics, why are we losing ground?
Ohlone has had a declining evening enrollment—both in percent and in numbers (down 1,000 evening students since 2001FA). Are there factors that now make evening classes less attractive? Has the college-going culture changed?
70% less freshmen than in 2005FA came without high school graduation. Is this good because high schools are doing a better job of graduating students? Is the perception of the college now more transfer-, rather than vocational-, oriented? Or are we just not attracting this segment of the population?
Student retention rates (the percent of students persisting in a class after census) have been in decline for the past three years and are below the state average. Are students now more prone to drop classes mid-semester to avoid substandard grades? Are faculty more diligent in encouraging drops to avoid bad grades? Or has the college lost some of that connection to students that encourages and supports student success?
Similarly, student success rates (the percent of students receiving a grade of C or better) fell for the fourth straight year and are also below the state average. What do these increasing rates of substandard grades reflect: …academic integrity? …high expectations? …under-prepared students? …under-staffed student support services?
Retention and success rates in online classes are also in decline, and both rates are below the rates for not-online classes, reversing a trend of just two years ago. In the rush to increase online offerings, did we neglect some student academic support services tailored to the online student?
Efforts to increase full-time student enrollment are showing gains, with the percent of students who are full-time increasing in 2007FA from 24.4% to 27.0%. Title III has employed Learning Communities as a vehicle to foster full-time growth. Have these learning communities been the key to this success, or do learning communities tend to primarily attract students who would be full-time, anyway? Is the growth in full-time students attributable to something else: …the economy, maybe?
The number of students transferring to Universities of California and to the California State Universities declined in 2006-07, as has the entering grade point averages of those students who do transfer. Why?
Deaf enrollments have been in decline (by over 25%) since 2005FA; but retention rates in Deaf classes are almost 95%, and success rates are at the highest level since 2001FA. We obviously have a good program; how do we get enrollment numbers back up?
Within basic skills, retention and success rates are increasing overall, but especially for the English composition and ESL courses. There are notable declines in reading and math. All basic skills are supported by Title III and by the Basic Skills Initiative. Why are we succeeding more in some areas of basic skills but not succeeding in others?
Although basic skills math retention rates are up, the success rates in basic skills math are the lowest since 2001FA. How is it that we are keeping more students to the end of the term then giving them substandard grades? Is it the student, the faculty, or the nature of math?
The number of student education plans written by the counseling department has increased but has been abysmally low in years prior to 2007FA, apparently a coding and reporting problem. Why don't we capture this data since it is publicly reported on the Chancellor's Office site?
Both the numbers and percent of staff in administration/management positions have been in decline, raising the student-to-administrator ratio to its highest since before 2001FA. Is this good, or bad?
Headcount enrollment declined in 2007FA although FTES increased. At the same time, the percent of students age 19 or less increased while students in the 30 to 49 year old age groups decreased. Can we expect that there will be more students coming to prepare for career or educational goals and less students attending for personal enrichment? There will be a dramatic increase in the district of residents age 60+.
2007FA witnessed a 10% increase (1,000 headcount) in continuing students over 2006FA. There was also the lowest first-time student count since before 2001FA. Is this decline in first-time students "real" or is it a coding problem? What do we do if it is real?
Returning students are down 5% from 2006FA. Does this mean students are less likely to take a semester off in the midst of their college careers and are steadily persevering semester-to-semester, showing as "continuing" rather than "returning"? Will this rush to completion mean we have to do a better job of writing student educational plans and scheduling courses to meet student demand if students are becoming more goal oriented?
2007FA FTES enrollment in basic skills rose 43.6%, much of this due to recoding of courses following the ARCC and CRCC data clean-up by the Chancellor's Office. FTES enrollment in transferable credit courses increased 3.9% in 2007FA, but FTES enrollment in vocational courses declined 3.0%. Is this a trend we welcome because we are gaining a larger percentage of transfer-directed students, or should we be concerned about the decline in vocational interest?
English continues to be the top producer of WSCH, but 2007-08 saw a dramatic 39.2% jump in English WSCH over the previous five year average. Mathematics remains the second highest producer of WSCH and rose 27.4% in 2007-08 over its previous five year average. To produce the additional 39.2% and 27.4% of WSCH, English and Math FTEF rose only 10.2% and 11.4% respectively. Where is the line between being efficient and being over-worked? Have we crossed it, yet?
Among colleges in the Bay 10 districts, Ohlone has the highest average salary for full- time instructors, but the lowest hourly rate for adjunct instructors. Who speaks for the adjuncts?
Within the Bay 10, Ohlone has the second lowest percent of Hispanic administrators and the second lowest percent of both full-time and adjunct instructors. Are Hispanic students staying away from Ohlone in part because there are relatively so few role models? Can the same case be made for African-American students since Ohlone has the lowest percentage of African-American administrators and full-time faculty in the Bay 10?
With 43% of district households home to foreign-born residents, could we successfully offer more ESL classes or begin to offer classes leading to American citizenship?
All program awards have been in decline for each of the past four years, and degrees awarded have declined 20% since 2004-05. Ohlone's graduation rate is in the bottom third of Bay 10 colleges for students graduating with an associate's degree. Are we failing to graduate students, or failing to report them?

Coumadin vs. Pradaxa for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation:
Patients who have atrial fibrillation are at increased risk for stroke and require some form of anticoagulant with either a full dose of asprin (less effective but, less risk of bleeding), or Coumadin (more effective in preventing strokes, but increased risk of bleeding).
The CHADS 2 score was developed to determine which patients should take aspirin and which patients should take coumadin. CHADS 2 is an anacronym for the following ;
C= congestive heart failure=1 point
H= hypertension=1 point
A= age greater than 75=1 point
D= diabetes=1 point
S2= stroke or TIA= 2 points
In general, if a patient scores 0 or 1 a full dose of asprin (324 mg per/ day)is probably safer than coumadin. If the score is 2 or greater the risk of stroke is quite high and coumadin is recommended with the goal to keep the INR between 2-3.
As anyone who takes coumadin, or treats patients taking coumadin knows there are major disadvantages in taking coumadin. First, frequent blood tests and dosage adjustments makes the treatment extremely inconvenient. Second, when the INR levels fall below 2 the patients are not protected and the risk of stroke goes up, and when the INR is greater than 3 the risk of bleeding goes up with the most devastaing type being an intracranial bleed.
It is for all of these reasons that we consider the development of PRADAXA (dabigitran extexilate), which is FDA approved, to be one of the most important developments of the decade! FDA approval was given because of the very large RELY trial that compared the safety and efficacy of Pradaxa to coumadin in over 18,000 patients.
We therefore recommend, because of these results, switching patients to Pradaxa from coumadin whenever possible for the following reasons:
1. Convenience- no more blood draws for INR's and no drug dosage adjustments. It's just one pill twice a day.
2. Reduced strokes with PRADXA versus coumadin
3. Reduced bleeding with PRADAXA versus coumadin
4. Since it is effective within a few hours, patients do not need to be bridged with lovenox before leaving the hospital
since It is essentially an oral lovenox.
The major disadvantage is cost. The exact monthly cost to each patient will depend on there individual insurance plan. However, the manufacturer of the drug Boehringer Ingelheim has some assistance programs and discount cards that make the drug within reach for most patients and considering the ease of use and improved safety and efficacy, we believe it is well worth it.

So what does that mean?? I surely dont feel like its the golden years if it means being comfortable and set and liking where you live and what you do and all.
How many people are actually happy and living those golden years.. Was it our fault in that we didnt plan right or did we make a wrong turn somewhere or did we just get hit with curve balls..

The State Senate Democrats of the Connecticut General Assembly
Representing Bozrah, East Lyme, Montville, New London, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, Salem & Waterford
Contact: Andrew Ammirati
March 23, 2012
State Senator Andrea L. Stillman (D-New London) today hailed the likely, near-future release of state funding to the New London Homeless Hospitality Center, Inc., to underwrite improvements at the former St. Peter and Paul Polish National Church property in New London, for consolidation of its homeless shelter programs and administrative offices.
The funding, worth $500,000, will help finance a 25-bed emergency shelter, a separate, 15-bed facility for clients with acute medical and/or mental health conditions, and office space. The item is included on the agenda for next Friday's meeting of the State Bond Commission; Senator Stillman said she expects it to be approved at that time.
"The services provided by this agency can literally be lifesaving for clients in crisis who need intervention, assistance, and shelter," Senator Stillman said. "This funding will help the agency operate more efficiently from a centralized and consolidated headquarters and as a result, more efficiently serve the most vulnerable in our community."
Senator Stillman said the General Assembly periodically provides funding for renovations in day care centers, elderly services facilities, homeless shelters like this one, and food distribution facilities statewide. But, she said, this grant allocation is unique in one very important aspect.
"I'm particularly pleased by the collaborative nature of this project, wherein the state's grant will be matched—and slightly exceeded—by local fundraising efforts," Senator Stillman said. "I think this is a sensible use of state funding, as seed money to leverage contributions from the private sector to the benefit of those who need a hand in our community and the community as a whole."
Senator Stillman is serving her fourth term in the state Senate; she previously served six terms in the state House of Representatives. Senator Stillman is co-chair of the legislature's Education Committee and a member of the Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committee, the Public Health Committee, and the Transportation Committee.

Onondaga County leaders say a move to sell its Van Duyn Home and Hospital to a private company downstate is the only way to avoid crushing costs of providing care and safeguard taxpayers. YNN's Bill Carey says the plan has now run into a legal challenge from the people working at Van Duyn.
ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- County lawmakers heard arguments against the move, but last December, they said the county had to get out of the nursing home business.
"By voting against this measure today, you are voting for a $115 million minimum tax increase to the local tax levy. There is no question, if ands or buts about it," said Onondaga County Legislature Chairman Ryan McMahon in December 2012.
"It's just not practical for us to continue down a road of bankruptcy for our county," Onondaga County Legislator Michael Plochocki said.
Legislators voted to turn over Van Duyn Home and Hospital to a local development corporation. An interim move to set the stage for a sale.
In a last ditch effort to block the sale of Van Duyn to a private company, the CSEA, which represents more than 400 workers at Van Duyn, has gone to court to try to overturn the actions of the county legislature.
The union is arguing the use of the development corporation to handle the sale is illegal and designed to avoid public scrutiny of the deal. They also claim the whole concept of moving the county out of the nursing home business needed public approval.
"We feel that it was basically illegal and wrong for the county legislature to pass a budget that, basically, abolished a county department of long term care without any changes to the charter," CSEA Spokesman Mark Kotzin said.
The union argues that the county has an obligation to offer the services of Van Duyn as a safety net for county residents. The private company due to take control has a good track record, but the union says it is not a government answerable to local residents.
Kotzin said, "We fear very strongly that, if it goes private, that quality of care will be diminished. It almost has to since they'll be looking at profit, instead of people."
The county attorney says his office is studying the union claims, but he is not commenting on the legal action.

Jack T. Scully, a 220 gross ton harbor tug, was built in 1899 at Tottenville, Staten Island, New York. She was later renamed Mariner and shortly afterwards, in September 1917, was delivered to the Navy for World War I service. Placed in commission in December as USS Mariner (SP-1136), she operated in the New York Harbor area and in Long Island Sound. On 26 February 1918 the tug foundered in a storm off Long Island. Her crew was rescued by USS Wadena.
This page features the only views we have concerning the harbor tug Jack T. Scully, which served as USS Mariner (SP-1136) in 1917-1918.

The first time he heard the phrase "global health," Barry Bloom, former Dean of Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), was at the Institute of Medicine (IOM), where he chaired the board of what was then called International Health. One day the newest board member – an outsider from Mexico named Julio Frenk – raised his hand with an objection. "Health is no longer international but global," Frenk told the board. "It's a shared set of problems that are faced by all the countries of the world; diseases don't respect national boundaries, and the economic costs of health don't respect national budgets." "We changed the name of the board," said Bloom, now the Harvard Distinguished Service Professor and the Joan L. and Julius H. Jacobson Professor of Public Health, "and in that context it has changed people's perceptions around the world."
Bloom and Frenk – now HSPH Dean and the T&G Angelopoulos Professor of Public Health and International Development – were among those gathered on April 25, 2013, for GHP@50, the 50th anniversary symposium of the Department of Global Health and Population (GHP). Founded under Dean John C. Snyder (who also served as Acting Chair of the Department from 1962 to 1969), GHP has been an international change agent on issues such as the global burden of disease, human rights and reproductive rights, decision science, security issues in global health challenges, global health systems, innovative demographic and nutritional research initiatives, malaria and infectious disease. With nearly a dozen centers, initiatives, and programs, GHP is home to faculty who train students across the university. "We follow in the footsteps of giants," said Department Chair, Wafaie Fawzi, the Richard Saltonstall Professor of Population Sciences, Professor of Nutrition, Epidemiology, and Global Health.
Some of those giants, such as Dr. Howard Hiatt, were present at the symposium. Reflecting on the past 50 years, Hiatt – who served as HSPH Dean from 1972 to 1984 – highlighted the global health outlook of some of the school's and department's founding leaders. These include Richard Pearson Strong, first HMS professor of tropical medicine; Rose E. Frisch, a leader in women's health; and Richard Cash; Cash, also present at the symposium, is co-founder of oral rehydration therapy, which has saved millions of lives. Harvard Medical School Dean, Jeffrey Flier, identified some of the research partnerships, teaching opportunities, and initiatives that have followed from collaboration with GHP faculty during his tenure at the medical school. Successful partnerships, said Bloom at the end of the first session, require "a Confucian concept of reciprocity: From day one, ask 'What do you need that we can help you with?'" When they are collaborations for a lifetime, he concluded, "that's the test of a great partnership."
Such partnerships can change the future as they address the unfinished health agenda. In a panel moderated by Ana Langer, Professor of the Practice of Public Health and Coordinator of the Dean's Special Initiative in Women and Health, Robert Black called for a renewal of political will, especially in childhood infectious diseases and nutritional problems; Michelle Williams emphasized the value of transdisciplinary research through a "life course" perspective; and Jaime Sepulveda – who spent a decade as Director-General of Mexico's National Institute of Public Health and Dean of the National School of Public Health – pointed to the megatrends that shape emerging challenges in population health.
Nutrition is crucial, Kenneth Brown of the University of California, Davis, reminded the audience, particularly in "the first 1000 days" of life, and in adulthood, said Walter Willett, the Frederick John Stare Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition and Chair of the HSPH Department of Nutrition. Solutions require a multisectoral approach, emphasized Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development at the Harvard Kennedy School, pointing to development initiatives in Africa. The extensive debate over whether (and how) to strengthen health systems (and what this means) was evident in a lively panel exchange and audience discussion with Rifat Atun, Jono Quick, and Winnie Yip.
Evidence matters; this was the message three global health leaders emphasized in the afternoon's final session, on approaches to measuring and evaluating health and development. Sue J. Goldie, the Roger Irving Lee Professor of Public Health at HSPH, Director of the Center for Health Decision Science, and Faculty Director of the Harvard Global Health Institute spoke on the vital translational role that decision science can play as we prepare for health challenges over the next 50 years. Esther Duflo, MIT Professor and Co-founder and Director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab at MIT reiterated the huge responsibility to generate evidence, stay ahead of trends, and influence the technological journey to solutions. Majid Ezzati, Chair in Global Environmental Health at Imperial College, London, discussed several available research platforms for exploring global risk factors.
The evening concluded with poster awards, and a dinner session, in memory of former Department Chair, the late David E. Bell. Speakers included former Chairs, Lincoln C. Chen, Michael Reich, David Bloom. Other evening speakers included GHP faculty, Till Bärnighausen, Theresa Betancourt, Marcia Castro, Jessica Cohen, Goodarz Danaei, Günther Fink, and Margaret McConnell.

Mom's always right…
Wonder if you feel this way too…it seems the older you get, the smarter your mother becomes.
When you're 16 everything she says sounds crazy…but when you're 36 like me…she's a genius…
I needed her today…and she knew it…so she sent me this thing that she reads in the mornings…Oswald Chambers.
If you are in love with someone, you don't sit and daydream about that person all the time -- you go and do something for him.
And that is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Just as he loves us…he asks to love others…
By loving people no matter what they might look like or what they've done.
That's it….if you're feeling woe is me….don't Sit and Wallow but Go and Do for someone else….
