A Walk Through the Word
Devotions about life, by Kristeen
This book is a collection of devotions and stories about daily life and how it relates to God and His word.
The stories are real life experiences from my own life and experiences I have encountered in counseling young women in crisis pregnancies.
It is my fervent desire to tell all whom I meet about the love of God in His Son Jesus Christ. There is no greater happiness in life than to know Him and to experience the freedom from sin and the joy that abounds through faith in Him. My heart overflows with love for God and I can't help sharing it with others.
If you have already experienced the joy of a personal relationship with God, or known His Son, my hope for you is that your faith will be renewed and strengthened through reading.
If you have never experienced a personal relationship with God or known His Son Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made for all people, it is my hope that the Holy Spirit will ignite faith in your heart, and lead you to Him and to an eternity in heaven.
May the Lord richly bless all who read!
I was born in Standish, MI in 1950. I am the middle child of three children. My father was born and raised in Tawas City and my mother in Alpena, MI. We lived in Tawas until I was 10 years old. When I was 8 years old our father passed away suddenly of a heart attack at age 39. In a flash our lives went from happy and carefree to sad and lonely. In 1960 our mother remarried and we moved to Davison, MI Where we were taken in by the Thompson family and loved as their own. They have been very good to us over the years. We are all grown and married with children and grandchildren, but we each still hold a special place in our hearts for Tawas City and our roots there.

16 February 2012
KOKOMO, Ind. — Indiana University Kokomo helps drive the state's economy to the tune of $52.1 million each year, according to the results of an economic impact study released today, Feb. 16.
Well known as a provider of higher education in north central Indiana, the campus's impact is much further reaching, not only in dollars spent, but also in the value of cultural experiences and volunteer services provided by IU Kokomo's employees and students.
"IU Kokomo is a significant contributor. We will continue to be leaders and facilitators for regional transformation," said IU Kokomo Chancellor Michael Harris. "We hope, now, that our economic impact is recognized, and that, in return, others will support us during times when government support for higher education is being reduced significantly.
"This will allow us to continue to provide a world-class education and economic growth to the region. It is our hope the entire region will rally behind us."
IU President Michael McRobbie unveiled the results of the report at a press conference on the IUPUI campus, which also shows that IU and IU Health generate a return of $24.91 for every dollar of state taxpayer support. This is more than double the national average for universities and the second-highest return ever for the dozens of universities studied by Tripp Umbach, the firm that conducted the research for IU.
The study measures direct impact through not only salaries and benefits, but spending by faculty, staff and students, as well as indirect impact as those who sell goods and services to the university re-spend that revenue.
It also measures the impact of volunteerism and community service by the university's employees. Harris said the study reflects the regional transformation IU Kokomo has set as one of its goals.
"We impact north central Indiana through our graduates, who stay in the region and work and make a contribution," he continued, "with faculty and staff salaries and our 3,200 students and their spending in the community, and the many hours of volunteer service we provide."
IU Kokomo provides more than $3.4 million in charitable donations and volunteers service by employees and students each year.
Harris noted the campus is creating new programs to meet the needs of the region, including the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree recently approved, which will prepare graduates for jobs in graphic arts, photography and other fields. With record enrollments for the fall 2011 and spring 2012 semesters, Harris said the university's impact would continue to grow.
"We are an engine for job creation. We're adding new programs in an intentional way, to stay current and relevant and meet the needs of north central Indiana," he said.
The campus also improves the quality of life for the region, he said, with art shows and cultural events such as concerts in the newly renovated Havens Auditorium. Plans are also in the works to add a new wellness and fitness facility to the Kelley Student Center, and to join the NAIA and expand team sports opportunities.
Harris hopes the community will respond by supporting the university, recognizing its importance not just in providing educational opportunities, but also in regional transformation.
"I appreciate the facts of this report and am glad we have this opportunity to very clearly demonstrate to the community our economic impact, in addition to our role of providing higher education to residents of north central Indiana," Harris said. "This reinforces my belief we can transform the region into an economy of innovation and an economy of knowledge."
Indiana University Kokomo serves north central Indiana.

Best Uses
I bought this bike for daily commutes under 5 miles. I ride it around San Francisco, and while the 8 speeds aren't quite enough for any hill over 3-5% (I've taken it up 15%+ hills), this bike is a super commuter. With regards to the hills, bear in mind I'm close to 90 kilograms. The belt drive is great for wearing work pants, though with any bike you ride every day you may eventually wear a hole in your pants. The rubber ends on the fenders came off after about 500-1,000 miles, but that was after moving it through tight quarters every day. Overall the bike has held up quite well. I just replaced the rear tire after 1,400 miles, along with the front brake pads and front brake cable. Currently my cost is ~$1/mile, and I expect the bike to go another 1,400 miles without any additional maintenance. I flatted the rear tire once, and changing the tube was a bit tricky, but once you learn how to pull off the rear wheel it doesn't take more than 15 minutes. The front brake play is adjustable with an allen wrench for when the pads start to wear down. Highly recommended if you commute short distances several times a week.
Best Uses
I have ridden this bike for over 4 years and more than 5000 miles. I has needed minimal maintenance. I have ridden frequently in rain and sometimes in snow with no problems. I love that you can shift while stopped. Very handy in an urban stop and go environment. I have the older model and the drum breaks require more effort than I would like.
Best Uses
I've owned this bike for two years and now it sits collecting dust while I ride my son's $650 Scott commuter. And that's after I upgraded the horrible front mechanical disc to a hydraulic SLX and changed the seat to a brooks one. I'm very disappointed Trek would sell this poor designed and manufactured tank. Yes, it will take a beating and doesn't require maintenance, but it's no fun to ride to work on this.
Best Uses
I absolutely love my Trek Soho. Bought it in July last year. But what is that creaking noise? Anyone else have that noise? Trek do you know? Please help. I shot a video of it Thank you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-sAZ0pO20E
Best Uses
No problems with slipping of belt through Calgary winter. Use studded winter tires in snow regions. Fixing flats on the road is a horrible undertaking but with good armored tires has been really rare. Get the shop to train you on changing tires and flats before leaving the premises. The rims are very very durable. Change the belt and rear cog every two years if commuting daily. Once a week take a dry brush to the belt, cog and front ring to stop squeaking with dirt build up. Do the same to the shifter cable channel on the rear hub to stop delayed shifting in -15 Centigrade and colder weather. The Nexus 8 and belt drive have been really great with minimal maintenance. they do need yearly lubrication and adjustment so don't completely ignore them. A wider rim would be nice to accommodate wider profile winter tires in high snow areas. Overall a super commuter and highly recommended.
Best Uses
A commuter bike can be stylish, technologically advanced, or versatile ... but the ultimate test is: when you leave for work, do you pick the car or your bike? I have a Trek Soho Deluxe and for me, the answer is my bike! Overwhelmingly! In the last 9 months, I have used the car 13 times - meaning I rode my Trek 93% of the time. That includes rainy days. My commute is 6 miles each way, and I'm 47 years old, and definitely not an athlete. But this bike works for me. I could make guesses why this is so. The disk brakes work well, the tires are very low-maintenance, the belt drive makes things smooth. Pretty much what everyone else is saying on this page. There are a few minuses - I would've liked at least one lower gear for tough hills, and the belt occasionally slips. But you can't argue with stats. I wanted a bike that I'd love enough to ride every day, and that's what I got!
Best Uses
I purchased one of the early models with roller brakes, no rack and nice looking understated grey paint. I had a previous "towner" bike, a GT Dyno w/7 spd hub, rear roller brake and front rim brake which held up very well but when I saw the belt drive Trek I just had to have it. The belt drive has worked flawlessly so I'm very happy with that. I like the roller brakes for their almost maintenance free design - just add a squirt of the special Shimano grease when they become noisy. DO NOT try to take apart the brake to service it! You will never get it back together (learned the hard way on my GT). True, they are not the most powerful brakes out there but I find that with firm hand pressure applied I can lock up the wheels so what more do you need? I see that the newer models come with a rack, a very useful accessory. Mine did not have one so I had to mount my own. I have a set of Banjo Brothers shopping panniers that serve me very well. I do practically all my shopping errands on this bike. I have a front rack also for the big shopping days and a set of BOB rear axle nuts so I can hook up the trailer when needed. I have had the bike for over 2 years now and here are my observations: Pro: Durable, almost maintenance free. Sporty looks - kind of a cross between full on utility bike and a cycle cross bike. Good handling and ride overall although I do get a bit of toe/front wheel overlap with the 700c tires. I do not find it too harsh as someone said. I definetly did not want a suspension seat post and fork that add weight and detract from the handeling. Con: I found the saddle and hand grips uncomfortable and changed them out. I think a rack should have been included as they are now. The tires are not the most puncture proof. I had one real flat and then changed them out for thorn proof Rubenas. A dyno hub would be nice but at the price point for this bike I'm not going to nit pick the components. Besides a set of LED lights work well for my occasional night ride. The hub is not the slightly more efficient Shimano Alfine Red Line but I have not had any real problems with it either. Overall a great bike.
Best Uses
I've been commuting to work on this bike 5 days a week since early January. This bike has been great! After suffering two flats in two weeks (darn goatheads!), I filled the tubes with Stan's and haven't had a flat since. I love the carbon belt drive. It's so quiet! I'm frequently scaring people on the bike path that don't hear me approaching! I'm guessing that's one of the reasons they included a bell. Anyway, this is a fantastic bike at a fantastic price point. Thanks Trek!
Best Uses
The Trek Soho Deluxe is a joy to commute on! The shifting on the Nexus 8 internal gear rear hub is instantaneous and smooth. And the fact that I can shift while not pedaling means I never have to worry what gear I'm in when approching a red light. The Gates Carbon Drive is silent, clean, and maintenance-free. The riding position is ideal for fast commuting--upright, but not too upright. The bike also feels great when cranking out of the saddle to maintain speed up hills. The bike feels very stable at speed, but is still nimble enough to execute quick maneuvers in traffic. The Soho Deluxe is a real head-turner! The gloss black paint, the interestingly-shaped frame tubes, the curvy lines of the rear rack, and the clean "single-speed" look of the belt-drive drivetrain all add up to a bike that is as much a joy to look at as it is to ride. I do have a few gripes (although none of them is "fatal"). The less-than-confidence-inspiring braking is my biggest gripe. The rear "roller brake" is just flat-out WEAK! The cable-operated front disc brake is better, but still not great. I replaced the Shimano front caliper with an Avid BB7, and that helped a lot. I test-rode a Soho Deluxe a couple of years ago when the bike had roller brakes front and rear, and decided that the weak braking was a deal-breaker. When Trek went to a disc brake in front, that was enough of an improvement that I could live with it. What I'd really like to see is a Soho Deluxe with an Alfine rear hub and disc brakes on both front and rear. My other two gripes are pretty nit-picky, but I'll mention them anyway. First, as with most bikes with front fenders, I have some clearance issues between the front of my toe-clipped feet and the rear flap of the fender when track-standing at stop lights. Second, although overall the bike is fairly light for a full-fendered, rear-racked commuter bike (about 30 lbs), the preponderance of that weight is at the rear of the bike. When I want to lift the rear wheel to swing the bike around a tight corner in an indoor space, it takes some real muscle to get the rear tire off the ground!
Best Uses
This machine will rock your world. Just turned 400 miles on mine, riding in a New England "winter." (Hasn't been much of one!) I ride in rain, sleet, snow, whatever about 100 miles a week. Hats off to the guys at Trek for putting this together at an incredible price point. Great shifting, pedaling, braking, everything. Stock saddle & pedals aren't great, but I'd rather they were cheap - you always swap both. Fantastic machine - buy one and sell your car.

Motorola Solutions To Bring Windows Embedded 8 Handheld-based Devices To Enterprise Customers
NRF 102 nd Annual Convention & EXPO (Booth #921) – Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), a leading provider of mission-critical communication solutions and services for enterprise and government customers, today announced that it is expanding its enterprise mobile computing portfolio to include devices built on the Microsoft Windows Embedded 8 Handheld platform. This expansion brings Windows Phone 8 technologies to enterprise customers, providing an innovative addition to Motorola's portfolio of devices built on the Windows Mobile and Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 platforms and enhancing Motorola's future solutions.
- Motorola (Booth #921) and Microsoft (Booth #1005) will showcase new Motorola enterprise mobile computing prototypes running Windows Embedded 8 Handheld at the National Retail Federation Convention & EXPO Jan. 14 and 15 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
- Motorola's HTML5 cross-platform development framework, RhoElements will support Windows Embedded 8 Handheld. RhoElements helps enterprise customers write their applications once and run them on multiple legacy and future operating systems. This new technology will help reduce operating expenses by virtually future-proofing applications that will continue to run and perform on current and next generation enterprise devices.
- Users will gain enterprise-grade security and manageability along with full Windows Phone 8 application compatibility, allowing enterprises to leverage Microsoft enterprise ready applications including Dynamics AX, Lync and Office Mobile. With Windows Embedded 8 Handheld devices from Motorola, users benefit from a consistent, intuitive experience across devices using Windows 8, Window Phone 8 and Windows Embedded 8.
- With Windows Embedded 8 Handheld, enterprise users gain development productivity when creating business apps using common application programming interfaces (APIs) to access the integrated peripherals in Motorola devices. The same APIs are available in Windows Embedded 8 Standard and Windows Embedded 8 Industry platforms, making it easy to deliver an application on Motorola devices and then bring that application to fixed point of sale terminals, digital signage, kiosk and other embedded devices.
Kevin Dallas, general manager, Windows Embedded, Microsoft Corp."Our work with Motorola Solutions is a key building block in helping to provide enterprises with the power of Windows Phone 8 for handheld devices within intelligent systems. From security and manageability to application compatibility across devices, the Windows Embedded 8 Handheld platform combined with Motorola's innovative devices and tools will support integrated solutions for enterprises as they drive their businesses into the future."

.- In the Spanish capital of Madrid a special Mass in reparation for the victims of abortion and for mothers and doctors who have committed such acts will be celebrated September 29 at the parish of Our Lady of Wonders.
Organizers of the Mass have issued an invitation to attend to "all people who desire to make an act of reparation for abortion, and especially to mothers and family members who have lost children, either as a result of abortion or miscarriage or stillbirth."
Likewise they underscored that this work "is not an NGO but rather an apostolate of reparation for the recuperation of mothers who are victims of abortion" and its purpose is to provide "spiritual support for the different groups that work with mothers."
During the Mass a list with the names mothers wish to give to their deceased unborn children, "in order to entrust them with hope to the Father and His mercy" will be presented during the offertory. Afterwards the list will be given to a community of cloistered nuns who will pray for the mothers and their unborn children.
Organizers will also encourage those attending to adopt an unborn child and pray for him.
Masses in Reparation for abortion have been celebrated weekly in Madrid at the parish of Our Lady of Wonders since June. Organizers said the initiative is a response to the call by John Paul II in his encyclical "Evangelium Vitae" to mothers to entrust their unborn children to the mercy of the Father.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.

The law's challengers argue that mandating insurance is like forcing Americans to buy more vegetables. Here's what makes that logic so flawed -- and dangerous.
The challengers of the health insurance mandate have focused on the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. As conservative Judge Silberman held, the text giving Congress the power to "regulate commerce" does seem to include a power to mandate purchases, given 1780s dictionary definitions of "regulate." The challengers argue that this plain meaning should nonetheless be resisted because otherwise the clause would lack any "limiting principle," and thus could be used to force us to buy GM cars, cell phones, burial insurance, or -- their favorite bugaboo -- broccoli.
But there is a limiting principle; it is the one the Supreme Court has actually articulated in its cases. To be justified by the Commerce Clause, a federal law must (1) involve economic regulation (2) that addresses a national problem (3) that affects interstate commerce. That is a broad power, but it is not a limitless one. It does not, for example, authorize a federal law against committing violence against women or possessing a gun in a school zone because those are not economic regulations, as the Supreme Court has ruled.
So the problem is not that there is no limiting principle. It's that the challengers don't like the limiting principle that exists. They want the justices to read into the Commerce Clause a new limiting principle, one that bars laws mandating the purchase of any product. But however attractive that kind of new limiting principle might seem, it cannot be inserted into the Constitution by judicial fiat when it lacks support in the constitutional text, history, or precedent.
How does one address the terrible specter of a broccoli mandate? One response is that a broccoli mandate might not be valid under those existing limits, because there does not seem to be any national economic problem that has resulted from the failure of some of us to buy broccoli. But let us suppose one can concoct one by arguing that some hypothetical Congress might rationally think that the failure of some of us to eat broccoli makes us less healthy in a way that raises costs for others in our insurance pools. Let me further assume that, although such a hypothetical claim would be just plausible enough to meet the prevailing constitutional standard, a broccoli mandate would seem stupid to almost all of us. Does this ensnare us in a logical trap, forcing us to modify existing constitutional limits, to add a ban on purchase mandates? Not at all, for many reasons.
First, just because we may all agree that a certain type of law would seem stupid, does not mean the courts can insert a ban on such laws into the Constitution. The Constitution has no ban on stupid laws. The constitutional remedy for the enactment of a stupid law is voting out the stupid legislators who enacted it.
Second, if we all agree that a broccoli mandate seems stupid, then our political process will never impose it. Indeed, even the challengers admit that the states could adopt purchase mandates, and yet none of the 50 states has ever required us to buy broccoli, cell phones, cars, or anything else from the parade of horribles offered by the challengers.
Third, the challengers' argument would imply that the Commerce Clause must not give Congress any power to ban purchases of any product. After all, if Congress has such power, couldn't it enact outrageous laws prohibiting us from buying broccoli, GM cars, cell phones, or for that matter health insurance or even health care? The challengers' argument logically implies that because a power to prohibit could be used in these stupid ways, Congress's power to prohibit commerce also lacks a limiting principle. By that logic, judges should thus read new limits into Congress' power to prohibit commerce. But no one believes that would be proper constitutional law.

Community Board 4 Moves to Outlaw Sunday Booze in Bushwick
A kind of blue law comes to Brooklyn.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
A kind of blue law comes to Brooklyn.
An important list of important restaurants.
A chef who trained at Manresa is now cooking in Bushwick.
Can you please repeat the specials?
"I posted a picture of Roberta's pizza on my Instagram, and my friend wrote 'stop eating pizza' because I had already had pizza twice the week before in Japan."
A reporter tests the lines at some of the city's busiest no-reservation restaurants.
Bushwick's tiki torch has been snuffed.
"We'll go on cereal binges and get a lot of cereal and then not have any for a really long time. When we have it, I'll eat, like, five bowls a day."
We're tempted to declare hipster bagels a trend.
Sounds pretty good if you're into the side effects.
And it's hidden behind Roberta's.
The after-parties are bound to be epic.
"And how did the ground zero of the Brooklyn food explosion land in my neighborhood? I swear, if I can't walk or bike to it, I pretty much don't go."
The Franks bring food to art.
That food-music fest we told you about is starting to sound epic.
The popular Bushwick pizzeria takes the next step toward world domination.
"It was really cool. Google's awesome. It's fun to go into a room and speak with a bunch of 14-year-old millionaires. It makes me feel very wise. And old."
We caught up with the Noma chef at Greenmarket's New Nordic Cookout over the weekend.
Sifton faces separation anxiety.
The beloved restaurant will expand next door.

Asheville, NC-HUD, and civic leaders in Asheville partnered to focus on re-development around the Riverfront District. Stephanie Monson, Urban Planner in Asheville, explained that forming partnerships was extremely difficult. Chris Stears with HUD echoed this sentiment, describing his partnership with Stephanie as a "new date."

Air travel changed forever by Sept. 11
Travel, says frequent flier William Rodgers, has become a "mind-numbing" experience in the decade since Sept. 11, 2001.
Rodgers, a Wichita-based businessman, says he particularly dislikes the slow airport security lines, body pat-downs, machines that scan his body and "inconsistencies" in security requirements that seem to vary from airport to airport.
"These are but a few of the changes that have diminished my joy of flying," says Rodgers, who works in the aerospace industry.
Outside of sending men and women to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, no aspect of Americans' way of life has been changed by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as much as their travel — especially air travel. Many Americans say government air security requirements intrude in their lives in ways that not only inconvenience them, but also invade their privacy, humiliate them and even change the ways they behave.
"Air travel," says Nawal Taneja, professor emeritus at Ohio State University's aviation department, "has become much more of a hassle for passengers."
AIR TRAVEL: Sept. 11 changed everything
Before they ever board a flight, travelers must pack bags to meet restrictions on what they can carry. They must book tickets under the name that exactly matches their identification. They must arrive at airports earlier to go through security checks, where their ID and travel documents are examined. They may be frisked like criminal suspects and screened by machines that let government agents see beneath their clothes and possibly expose them to small doses of radiation.
In the air, they're more likely to sit next to an armed government air marshal. The plane may be flown by armed pilots who are behind reinforced cockpit doors. And there's a greater chance their behavior can raise suspicions and result in them being taken off a flight for questioning.
"Travel has become an increasingly miserable grind that is interspersed with groping, intrusive security experiences that do little to engender any comfort or sense of improvement in the overall safety of flying," says frequent flier Nick van Terheyden of Laytonsville, Md., who works in the health care technology industry.
Flying is so miserable that many Americans avoid it. A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll last year found that 27% of fliers who made a round trip at least twice in 2009 were more likely than before to travel by car, train or bus to avoid the inconveniences of flying.

Neta Davis of Cass County, Mo., who works in the corrugated packaging industry, says she now drives to locations within six hours.
It lets her avoid any security personnel "who are rude, condescending and defensive" and leisure travelers who "unreasonably slow up the security and boarding processes" by not knowing the procedures or following instructions.
But even travel on the ground has changed. Amtrak passengers now hustle past a contingent of armed police officers and face security checks that didn't exist 10 years ago. Security has also been beefed up at hotels.

Keeping everyone safe
"People like to travel," says Kate Hanni, executive director of the consumer-advocacy group FlyersRights.org, "but they hate the getting there."
Inconvenience and privacy intrusions are a trade-off for a security system that has made it safer to fly and reduced the likelihood that another attack like the one on Sept. 11 could occur, say many knowledgeable travel and security analysts.
Former Federal Aviation Administration security director Billie Vincent blames the news media for the negative attitudes of travelers. He says some have portrayed TSA measures as "theater" and "for show," though they've improved security since the terrorist attacks.
"The passengers who have bought into this view feel hassled by the security process, while others genuinely believe that the U.S. security system is a sham," says Vincent, a security consultant in Chantilly, Va. "Others — perhaps the majority of passengers — are assured by the increased security measures."
Another aviation security consultant, Doug Laird, says, "There is no doubt in my mind that it's safer to fly today than it's ever been."
Security is stronger today because cockpit doors have been reinforced — "thus preventing the 9/11 scenario" — and checked bags must be screened by state-of-the-art devices that can detect explosives, he says.
Not all buy the arguments.
"Don't get misled into believing we're safer than before 9/11," says aviation consultant Michael Boyd. "We are simply being screened by a bigger bureaucracy, and the back doors of our airports — where the security failures really were on 9/11 — are still wide open."
Boyd says travelers fly to save time, but much of that benefit has been lost getting through security.
Frequent flier Al Diamond says he used to arrive at an airport 30 to 45 minutes before his flight and have no problem getting on.
"Now, getting to an airport two hours ahead of time doesn't guarantee you'll make your flight," says the insurance industry consultant from Cherry Hill, N.J. "Security and paranoia have taken over, and we visibly inconvenience our own citizens much more than we could ever deter the bad guys."
Joyce Gioia is another frequent flier who says the security directly affects her life.
"It has affected my productivity, because I have to get to the airport earlier to get through security," says Gioia, a management consultant in Austin. "I have to leave for an engagement earlier to ensure that, if the plane is canceled or bad weather disrupts travel plans, I can still get to the client's conference in ample time."
Increased security has also made flying more expensive.
"We cannot take even a bottle of water from home to drink in the airport or on the airplane," she says. "If it was al-Qaeda's goal to disrupt U.S. business, they have certainly accomplished it."
Security restrictions have evolved over the decade, most often in response to the latest threat.
Shoes had to be removed after a terrorist suspect tried to explode a bomb in his shoe. Liquids were limited at checkpoints after a plot to blow up trans-Atlantic flights was foiled. Full-body scanning machines were installed after a passenger's attempt to set off plastic explosives in his underwear.
Responding to complaints
Each new restriction has spawned more complaints. Frequent flier Richard Leck, a consultant in Bedford, N.H., says he doesn't like removing his shoes and not carrying on liquids. "Putting liquids in a 3-ounce-or-less container and not being able to carry on water or a bottle of wine that you bought in duty-free is silly," he says.
Some female business travelers say they're most bothered by the liquid restriction.
"I typically pay for a checked bag just to carry the toiletries I like to have with me while traveling," says Ellen Davis of Peachtree, Ga., who works for a marketing company. "That's frustrating to have the additional cost for my hairspray, basically."
All this makes some frequent fliers long for the old days of air travel.
Leck, for instance, says he misses meeting arriving passengers at an airport gate, and it's harder to go to a lavatory during a flight because waiting outside a cockpit door is prohibited.
"Virtually every part of air travel has changed since 9/11, and none of it for the better," he says.
A decade after it began imposing ever-more stringent security, the TSA is now taking steps to react to complaints.
In July, the agency announced a trial program designed to expedite clearance of passengers who submit personal information to the government so they can be vetted beforehand. TSA also began installing new software on some full-body scanning machines that replaces a passenger's naked image with generic ones. And it's testing how to question travelers to identify ones who could pose a threat.
But such steps are small compared with the array of complaints. And because planes remain a favored target of terrorists, Americans won't be returning to the old days of travel.

Body Transformation: Ripped Mom Rocks A Hard Body!
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
BodySpace: wiggsaaris
WEIGHT 160 lbs
WEIGHT 122 lbs
When I had children and life got busy, I let myself go. I'm a stay-at-home mother of three, but we're rarely home. My kids take part in many activities and it was convenient to go through the drive thru somewhere rather than prepare food at home. I ate my food, and if my kids didn't finish theirs, I would eat that too (I'm an emotional eater). I became uncomfortable in my own skin and was at the heaviest weight in my entire life. I had to do something about it.
I was told about a natural diet pill and started taking it. Within a week, I noticed I was losing weight. I lost most of my weight by taking the diet pill and eating less. I loved that I could wear sizes I hadn't worn since high school. The downside is I didn't exercise so I became "skinny fat." I had a skinny body with loose skin, cellulite, and a saggy butt—I hated what my body looked like under my clothes.
My husband and stepdad have always been into bodybuilding and decided to take me to the Arnold Classic. I didn't know what it was about, so I looked up pictures on the Internet and saw girls who looked amazing and had kids too. I couldn't believe women looked like that with kids. I sent my stepdad a text and told him not to tell anyone, but I wanted to go to the gym and needed him to push me so I wouldn't quit. I was crying as I sent the text and couldn't believe I hadn't taken time to care for my body and went to the gym with him the next day.
My goals aren't fully accomplished, but the changes I made in my life and to my body are huge.
I didn't want anyone to know what my goals were outside my family because I was afraid to fail. I decided my goal was to compete after I attended the 2012 Arnold Classic. My family was behind me the entire way and my stepdad kept pushing me. He made workouts for me and was always on me about eating right.
My body transformed and I was excited, but I couldn't get my diet under control. I was told to contact IFBB pro Dawniel King for help with my diet. Dawniel and her husband, Nathan, took me far in a few months. Nathan created my workout routine and Dawniel planned my meals. I'm thankful to have met them. They keep in contact almost every day and motivate me to keep going. I still train under them and love to see the results that take place.
I take progress pictures and measurements every week. The changes I see drive me to work harder. I'm blessed to have a husband and family that are supportive and motivating. I hope to inspire other mothers and women who think it's too late and their bodies are too far gone. I want them to know that with hard work and dedication anything is possible.

I thought my biggest challenge would be cardio, but I was wrong. Dieting and eating healthy has been my biggest struggle. I have always been a junk food junky, so eating clean and making this a life change has been challenging. Not being able to snack with my children or eat with my family and friends never gets easier. Willpower and the drive to see progress keeps me eating clean.
My journey into the fitness world has just begun. I'm going to continue to train and push myself to see to see how far I can transform my body. I hope to have many opportunities to inspire and motivate other women. Even though we all live busy lives, we need to realize how important it is to take care of our bodies and understand it's never too late.
- Take pictures and measurements. It's motivating to see progress and changes to your body.
- Have a support system. This isn't an easy road and you will need people around to lift you up.
- Train hard every day.
- Have an accountability partner who will make sure you stay on track.
- If you cheat on your diet or miss a workout, don't get down on yourself. Start fresh again.
- Don't let others bring you down. It's your goal and you aren't doing this for anyone but you.
- Positive attitudes get positive results.
Bodybuilding.com helped me stay motivated. Visiting the site and ordering supplements allowed me to stay focused and reach my goals. I saw many women on the site who were mothers and did not settle for an average body.
I visited the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio, for two years now and the Bodybuilding.com tent is above all else at the convention. They provide numerous opportunities for an aspiring fitness competitor to gain knowledge and products to help them achieve their goals.

Luv your song choices, great dedication, keep up the great work. Blessings...
Thank you so much! Good luck on your fitness journey! :)
Amazing! Way to go.
Thank you so much :)
you look smoking hot girl
THank you :)
Hi, I just wanted to make a few comments. First off, WAY TO GO on your progress and transformation. Secondly, I love that you have chosen some praise and worship type music to pump you up at the gym. I was curious about how you balance your clean eating with how your family eats? I have three kids as well and I try to make everything as clean as possible for them as well, it is tougher when I go to family events though as NOTHING is clean, and I really have to make portions tiny. Wonderful transformation. Seeing other mums do this keeps me so inspired.
THank you so much! I love Praise and worship keeps me upbeat and level headed and knowing what has brought me this far :)
Eating with my family was hard at first but i Know cook all my meals on sunday so i have my food ready for the whole week. If i do not prepare my food i will be tempted to eat what i fix them lol. My trainer also has kids she told me she has to tell herself she is taking food away from her kids by eating their food lol. We do silly things like that its almost like playing a mind game with yourself haha. Every sunday we eat with my family at my granny's. when i was show prepping i would just pack my food and bring it otherwise i would be tempted to eat what they were eating. now i just choose to have sunday as my cheat meal so i can eat with all of them. hope this helps:) Good luck on your fitness journey as well!!
Awesome! Love the song choices. I workout listening to K-Love radio everyday!
Thank you it brings joy and balance to keep me going :)
so inspiring! I wonder, did you have like one cheat meal a week or something, to keep you sane?
Yes sunday is my cheat day because that is the day my whole family eats together. during show prep though there are not cheat meals :(
Thank you!! Good luck with your journey as well:)
Very impressive..your hard work and dedication is visible. .keep going
Thank you so much!! Good luck and keep up the ork into your journey :)
Amazing transformation! Really great work! You are truly an inspiration!
Thank you so much! That means a lot to hear that I inspire so many :)
For all the talk about Macros on this site these transformations never have cals/macros listed. They should add that
Thank you so much! Good luck and keep up the hard work into your fitness journey :)
Thank you all so much for responding! Sorry it took so long to get back to you but every time I responded it would never post. I finally figured it out today lol. Thank you again and I hope I answered all your questions :) Keep up the hard work!! My favorite phrase is to be RELENTLESS in all that you do! Thank you all again and I am so blessed to be able to share my story and to know that I have inspired so many. That was my goal by allowing my before pictures out lol. I hope I can continue to inspire and motivate!
fantastic work i myself have 2 kids and also have to prep n cook my food on a sunday luckily today is cheat day :D
You look great! Im a mom with a full time career and I have always thought that getting to the gym and working out would be my biggest struggle, but I completely agree with you; its the nutrition that is the hardest part. I love how you take pictures and measurements every week. It seems like seeing the consistent progress has been very helpful in keeping you motivated! Great work!
It's been said before- the song choices are awesome. I listen a lot of christian hip hop to get pumped in the gym. Great progress and keep up the good work; God bless!

It's Sugar High Friday time again! Yes, I know it's not Friday yet... but when I saw that the theme was truffles, hosted this month by The Passionate Cook, I decided that if I was going go, I'd go big. It's just no fun to only have one flavor of truffle, so I made five. That's right, five different flavors, a whole weeks worth. So, in celebration of Sugar High Friday, I'm dedicating the entire week to truffles! I also have a bit of a confession. I've never made truffles before. Or, candy even. Nothing that requires that scary step of tempering chocolate. It's the kind of thing that is a bit too fussy for me as it actually requires measuring temperature and some fairly precise timing. I spent several hours reading through various cookbooks making sure I understood the steps... in the end relying most heavily on The Sweet Life, both for the tempering process and the steps to making the ganache and dipping the chocolate. This is a stunningly beautiful cookbook that I just picked up, and there are already far to many treats that I want to make in it.

Just posted it. Try not to attract too much attention from people who don't already know what's going on.
My oven is currently heating up to 200 degrees. I have it set for well over 9000 though. It takes about 5 seconds to raise 1 degree as it is. I can make it heat up faster as we approach the closing time.
What are the oven temperatures looking like for Mrs. Bonnie and Mr. Drive?
Should I be helping Mrs. Bonny with her oven? Or someone else?
I have 6 ovens working on Mrs. Bonnie's mac and cheese guys.
Oh sorry I realized I skipped a step in the recipe. I got my oven working again using chromium
I only have one oven so it needs to be used to its best advantage.
Good work guys.
Just make sure not to forget about Mr. Drive too.
We can do it guys ! =d

It takes me about 25 seconds every 10 degrees my oven heats up. So if my oven didn't have a limit to heat up at the most, it would be about 4 and a half minutes to go up 100 degrees
Bonny's really cooking now.

Jason Robards is the half-breed falsely accused of the terrible slaughter. Charles Bronson plays The Man, who remembers how his brother was savagely tortured.
