The recent global economic downturn has propagated countless articles expounding upon the difficulties healthcare organizations face in securing adequate, affordable, and acceptable financing amid worsening capital shortages. Equally important is that healthcare financial leaders manage, and even enhance, their organization's relationships with existing capital partners.
Sustaining good relationships with existing lenders, particularly in difficult times, is a critical step that may ultimately see you through a capital crisis. Should a liquidity crisis occur-be it anything from a technical debt default, such as tripping a covenant, to actually defaulting on a scheduled payment-it is all too easy to begin to see the lender as an adversary. But remember, when times were good and the loan documents signed, you likely saw the lender as your trusted partner. Altering that view can be counterproductive, and can unnecessarily complicate the situation. In a credit crisis, as much as possible, you should build on your partnership with the lender so you both perceive that you are working together to resolve the issue.
In our experience, five actions, or predispositions, have time and again proven themselves to be indispensable to healthcare organizations in working through difficult times with lenders:
Communicate early. Like all of us, lenders do not enjoy hearing bad news. However, if your lenders hear about it late, discover it for themselves, or read about it for the first time in the press, the consequences will be significantly worse: They may decide to make available to you only reduced and more invasive options, and such options often can be radical departures from core business or services. Lenders are likely to be particularly angered if disclosure is not made until an issue has mushroomed and a crisis has emerged, at which point they may be less amicable to waive or modify restrictions and/or make concessions. Even worse, lenders are likely to see a debtor's hesitancy to disclose a crisis or admit to distress as a sign of a more serious problem, such as fraud and misrepresentation.
It's far better to inform lenders of problems early so they can be part of the solution. Remember, your banker also reports to a manager or board, which allows the banker to communicate within the organization early and demonstrate knowledge of the current issues. At the end of the day, the lender-creditor relationship is a relationship of trust. When parties trust each other, a bad situation becomes less complex and more workable.
Demonstrate truthfulness and integrity. The saying "honesty is the best policy" is especially true when dealing with the lending community. In some instances, debtors may find themselves delaying giving bad news, which has never produced a good outcome for borrowers. Sooner or later, the facts will emerge, and as the issues become public, your organization will suddenly lose much-needed credibility with the credit community. Also, lenders regard telling the whole truth-not just accurate and factual information-as equally important. Many lenders consider the failure to provide all information as the equivalent of not telling the truth.
Educate lenders with industry knowledge. Although many lenders have significant experience with healthcare operations and financing, many others are from other industries and may not understand the issues as well as you do. And even if your primary lender contact is knowledgeable about health care, the same may not be true for all of the layers of analysts, loan officers, and committee members who the contact represents within his or her organization.
Take the time to make sure your business plans and other communications are written in layman's terms. Your creditor's staff will deeply appreciate your efforts to define and explain clinical concepts, unfamiliar terms, and abbreviations. And you will not only generate goodwill by lessening confusion about the industry, but also ensure that your plans-and analysis-are correctly understood.
Have a plan. When a lender learns of a credit default or covenant trip, or receives other bad news, the lender will always have one question foremost in mind: "Am I going to get paid?" The follow-up questions revolve around such issues as:
When the bad news is delivered, having a plan in hand will go a long way in easing creditor concerns and getting them to focus on solving the problem, rather than talking about it.
Having such a plan can help ensure that you will work directly with the lender, rather than see the debt transferred to a special assets workout team.
Demonstrate a consistent commitment to achieving the plan. Lenders monitor turnaround plans closely. Even if you experienced an unforeseen financial crisis, as long as you communicated early, were truthful, provided work product with integrity in the numbers, translated technical information into laymen's terms, and executed a fluid and flexible plan, your lender may not be happy but will be more likely to continue to work with your management team. Moreover, reaching and maintaining consensus with your lenders will go far in effecting a smooth and timely recovery. Although you and your management team may justifiably believe your lenders cannot match your knowledge of your particular service offering and market(s), don't forget that most lenders do have experience with managing and remediating troubled facilities. There is much to be learned and implemented through shared knowledge and experience, and being open to learning is one of the best ways to show that you can be trusted to follow through with your plan.
Until they are absolutely convinced that existing management cannot turn the situation around, lenders will work with you. The key? Take the proper steps to communicate and to educate them along the way. Trudging through a credit or liquidity issue is never enjoyable, and it is to be hoped you will never have the experience. But should such a crisis befall your organization, approaching it in a team spirit with the lender may yield a more positive and successful outcome.

As Bill de Blasio heads to Washington D.C. to meet with President Obama today, a new Siena College-New York Times poll is out today with some encouraging news for the mayor-elect – as well as some decent farewell numbers for the current mayor. Here are a few of the more interesting findings:
How much Bloomberg fatigue is there, really? The mayor's approval rating is at 53% -- the highest it's been in three years and about the same level that exit polls had the mayor pegged at in September and November. These are pretty good numbers for someone who's been in office for 12 years.
People are feeling quite rosy about the mayor-elect, with 73 percent saying they're optimistic about his mayoralty and 65 percent saying they think he will bring about "real change" in the city.
Politically, it was a smart move picking Bill Bratton to be police commissioner; 61 percent support the move and only 12 percent oppose it.
New Yorkers aren't happy with the public school system – and believe Bill de Blasio can improve it. About 60 percent of New Yorkers say the quality of the school system is fair or poor – but 61 percent think de Blasio will make classrooms better.
Affordable housing should be a priority of de Blasio's – with 79 percent of New Yorkers saying it's a major problem. (Good luck with that!)
It will be quite interesting to see where de Blasio's approval numbers are in the spring. Right now, 51 percent of New Yorkers say they "haven't heard enough" about him to form an opinion. One thing is certain: that number will only be going down.

2000 Silverado Z-71.
Engine size = 5.3
Repair done prior = Tune up at 100K with new fuel pump/sending unit.
Work done to repair this problem = New fuel filter. New fuel pressure regulator.
Throttle body cleaning
. Air
filter (K&N) cleaned and re-oiled.
Fuel injector
cleaner additive.
Question = Truck suddenly became hard to start. Used to start when you touched the key and in 1 day it
began to crank for a long time prior to starting. Turning key (fuel pump) on and off 2-3 times before
cranking seems to help allot. Fuel pump was replaced during tune-up at 100K. No notable vacuum leaks,
pressure regulator replaced with no change. Mileage has gotten considerably worse, especially when
towing. No codes displayed at all. Plugs replaced at 100K were OEM Autolite. Any ideas before I drop the
tank again?
The fact that this problem started all of a sudden, and the turning of the key a few times to help it start
does make me think a fuel pressure problem. It is possible that the connector on top of the fuel pump
assembly has a burned terminal. This would cause low fuel pressure because of the high resistance in the
fuel pump power feed circuit. That would explain the hard starting, but not the poor economy. Suggest
having fuel pressure checked. Should be at least 55 PSI. Even 2-3 lbs. less can cause this concern.
This 5.3 engine is also known for the intake manifold gaskets leaking vacuum. This causes a hard start
and also high idle in cold ambient temperatures, as well as hesitation off idle and unstable idle when
engine hot.
I would also check those Autolite
since they have been in there for about 30k miles. Have
seen many times non AC Delco plugs cause odd problems.
First, let me say that the truck is running smoothly and there is no hesitation during acceleration at all.
I hooked up a pressure tester: With the engine running at idle (hot) I'm reading approx. 48 PSI. However,
if I take the vacuum hose off the pressure regulator it jumps up to about 58/59 PSI. This is a brand new
pressure regulator.
I also noted that as soon as I shut off the engine the pressure on the gauge dropped very rapidly..not
instantly, but very quickly, down to around 10 PSI and then very slowly bled down from there.
So I'm thinking that since the pump is capable of pumping 58/59 PSI (with the regulator disconnected)
then the problem must be elsewhere. Maybe the new regulator is bad? Maybe a leak in the system? Any
thoughts on this?
Do this...
With pressure gauge on, turn key to RUN.
Pressure should go to at least 55 psi and hold. Sounds like it will not hold.
2 possibilities.
Check ball in fuel pump is stuck and allowing thew fuel to bleed back, or maybe the tiny little O ring on the
tip of the regulator rolled when installing the part. Or the old O ring is still in there. Remove it and check
the O ring.
We use shut-off valves to restrict the feed and return lines one at a time to determine which way the fuel is
draining back.

MSHA: 2012 Mine Death Totals Are 2nd Lowest Ever
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) â¿¿ Fatality rates in U.S. mines hit an all-time low last year, while the number of those killed is the second-lowest ever.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration says 36 miners died in 2012 â¿¿ 19 in coal mines and 17 in metal and nonmetal operations.
West Virginia lost the most with seven, while Kentucky lost five.
The safest year was 2009, when fatalities hit a low of 35.But MSHA Chief Joe Main says more needs to be done to prevent injuries, illnesses and deaths. In all, eight of those killed had less than one year of experience in their mines, and 13 had less than five years' experience in their particular job. Main says that underscores the need for better training, especially on a new task.

< Soraka | Redirected from Soraka the Starchild/SkinsTrivia
Make sure to stock up on some Poro-snax as we vote, discuss and recap all the things that happened this year in League.
|Skins & Trivia
- Soraka is voiced by Lisa Lindsley, who also voices Kayle.
- Soraka's name is derived from the Japanese word "sora," which means "sky," a reference to Soraka's celestial nature.
- Soraka was one of the champions available in the Ionian pool during the Ionia vs. Noxus match. She was one of the selected champions.
- Soraka was in the previous Ionian versus Noxus match and had apparently performed quite poorly.
- In the Mac launch video, there is a banana in the weapons cabinet. This is a homage to Soraka's autoattack particle, whose look has often been compared to a banana.
- Soraka's dance is a reference to a commercial for Chiquita bananas, as seen here.
- In the U.R.F game mode (available in April 2014), Soraka was deemed overpowered/obnoxious, and was ultimately disabled in non-custom games.
- Soraka's ability icons have been changed twice, the first time for her visual update and the second time for her gameplay update.
- Soraka's new joke, "Yes, that was a banana. *giggles* No-one expects the banana!" is a reference to the community nickname for her conspicuous autoattack projectile. The second part of the joke may also be a reference to the Monty Python sketch The Spanish Inquisition notable for the catchphrase "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition".
- This could also be a reference to the 'banana kill' meme that is used in tournaments and other live events, where an "unexpected" last autoattack by Soraka kills off an enemy and the crowd goes wild about and/or the commentators commentate on how the last banana got the kill.
- Soraka shares a quote with Lee Sin, "Where am I needed?"
- Classic skin changed color depending which team she was on. Her jacket was either pink or yellow.
- The Chinese version of Soraka's Classic skin is the background image of the "Utility" section in the mastery pages.
- This skin is based on the dryad, a nymph of the trees (specifically oak trees) from Greek mythology.
- This skin is intended to show her appearance before she fell from grace by using her powers offensively.
- Soraka had an unreleased skin under the name "Battle Priestess Soraka".[1] It was remade into Celestine Soraka.
- Celestine Soraka is likely a reference to white mages from the Final Fantasy series.
- Released for the 2014 Harrowing.
- She has the scythe that Death is usually depicted to be wielding rather than her usual staff.
- This skin is resembles Mistress Death form the Marvel Earth 616 universe.
- She also resembles Raven from the DC universe.
- She shares this theme with Karthus and Hecarim.
- Soraka was deceived by Warwick in his attempt to rip her heart out.
- Soraka was responsible for reviving a nearly deceased Irelia during the Noxian invasion of Ionia. She did so by binding her life force to her hiten blades.

Most importantly I like that I do not have to wait for a shuttle. The service is prompt and reliable. It is nice to know I can count on Park 'N Fly to get me to the airport. Also most of the drivers are very pleasant and helpful. They try very hard to make our trips quick. Even though your service is a bit more expensive I feel it is worth it because I can depend on receiving quality service.
I have been using Park& Fly for a long time and I have always received Prompt and Courteous service. I also believe it is fair pricing.
Initially did Park n fly wanted to charge me more since I parked under covered parking. They eventually figured it out, but it took a lot longer than it should have. This is not what I want to deal with after a long flight.
It was great, no complaints at all.
Good service, very reliable, quick shuttle trip to/from airport. Thanks!
Convenient, fast and affordable.
Drivers always friendly. Unless you don't like talking, you can find a friendly conversation with them.
The bus drivers are very friendly and helpful with baggage from the minute you drive in to the minute you park your car. You don't have to wait a long time for buses at either the departure side on the lot of the arrival from the gate.
I have tried other airport shuttles but Park n Fly is the BEST. Always on time, drivers are professional, helpful and courteous. Drivers are also very safety conscious on the road and in the lot. Can't be beat at IAH!
a little bit crowed parking lot, but very good service and on-time pick up shuttle service
very good parking service while the parking lot is a little bit crowded.
The drivers are courteous and helpful and Ms Betty takes care of you upon leaving the facility
During one of my on line reservations, I accidently entered a.m. instead of p.m. Park N Fly was very helpful assisting me to resolve the problem. Any time I have questions, they are also very helpful. There is always a courtesy van waiting to pick us up, help us with our luggage, write down our parking spot number and give it to us. A nice and appreciated benefit. Return pick up is also always quick. They are all friendly. Houston Park N Fly needs a large ENTRANCE sign. We don't have a problem. But new parkers might see the Large Park N Fly sign and drive by the entrance. This takes extra time trying to return to the Entrance because of the traffic. This happen to us the first time.
Used for years. Always prompt pickup (in the lot and at the airport.) 24/7 and fair rates. Good location coming off Beltway 8 or Hardy Toll Road.
easy! pick up at my car-no hauling my bags to the end of the aisle and waiting for a bus, the drivers for the most part very courteous and helpful the only place we use!
Quick pickup in both the parking lot (before my flight) and at the terminal (after my return flight). Also, the driver picking up in the parking lot asked each person if they remembered their phone, tickets, and locked car.
We have been using your parking facility for 35 plus years and your services are clearly outstanding. Your personnel is courteous, on site as well as over the phone, eaer to resolve a problem in a satisfacoty manner and prompt with requests.
Easy check-in and quick shuttle service. The drivers are very polite and accommodating. The lady at the checkout booth was very friendly.
Fast, efficient, relaxing. No muss, no fuss at the drop-off. I did not wait for the return bus. It was sitting there when I walked out! The driver was helpful with our bags.
Great service by the van drivers and check out

The Museum's conservators are delighted to share their knowledge and give advice as far as it is possible. If you have questions for them, you are welcome to write them in the form below.
Ask Questions
We will very shortly open a blog on the restoration of Jordaens' masterpiece, giving the opportunity to follow the process and ask questions about it, even though you may not be able to drop in to the Museum.
However, the conservators are also happy to answer questions about conservation in general within the following fields:
Art on paper
The Subject
Research into conservation
A degree in conservation
Conservators work at the National Gallery of Denmark
Links to further knowledge
How can I repair or conserve my painting?
There is rarely a quick-fix option. As treatments are object-specific, we recommend that you contact an independent conservator directly. For more information contact:
Nordisk Konservator Forbund
Do you put new paint on losses in the painting?
The answer is both yes and no. It depends on the type of 'flaw'.
If the original colour is completely missing, the conservator will refill the lacunae. A basic tone, which is slightly lighter than the original, is applied directly over the filling, often in water-colour or gouache.
One or more thin layers of paint, consisting of pigments with synthetic resin as the binder, are applied on top. The resin could be Mowilith 50, a polyvinyl acetate, Paraloid B72, an ethyl-methacrylate-copolymer; Gamblin Conservation Colours, a polymeric resin consisting of aldehydes, could also be used. These synthetic resins will be easier to remove in the future and also change colour very slowly in contrast to oil- or varnish colours, for example.
Another 'flaw' in the painting could be that a thin glaze was accidentally cleaned off many years ago during an earlier restoration, or has simply lost its colour due to blanching by light. As we cannot know how intense the colour of this wash may have been, we do not normally attempt to replace it with a new one. This would involve too much guesswork.

I will be visiting your European Frames Exhibition soon. I would be very intersted in visiting your frame conservation studio. Would that be possible?
Unfortunately we do not have a frame conservation studio in our department of conservation. Our conservators carry out treatments on frames when necessary often during treatment of a painting. In our department of conservation we have a studio for paintings conservation, paper conservation and conservation of modern and contemporary art. I hope you will enjoy your visit and the frame exhibition. Please do not hesitate to contact us again for further questions.
I would like to be a conservator. What training should I choose?
In Denmark, The School of Conservation provides training in Graphic Art, Cultural History, Pictorial Art, Monumental Art or Natural History. The School of Conservation offers a three-year undergraduate course in conservation (BSc) and a further two-year master's course (master's degree). The School also offers a three-year post-graduate research course (PhD). For further information visit the website of The School of Conservation.
What do conservators do at the National Gallery of Denmark?
Conservators support one of the core purposes of the National Gallery of Denmark: to take care of its enormously varied collection of works of art as well as works on loan or deposited with us. The work ranges from charcoal drawings, sculptures of plastic, pictures painted with egg, and to plaster casts.
Besides conserving and restoring works of art, the conservators also examine and document the artists' materials and techniques employed in the production of each work. This may involve detective work to discover techniques and materials which are no longer used today. Similarly it is also necessary to research into modern materials to understand how their aging processes can be slowed.
Conservators work closely together with conservation scientists to predict long-term change in artworks by recording their condition and registering even minute changes in their structure and appearance.
Conservators make recommendations based on research and the specification of best practice as to low risk methods of handling, packing, storing and transportation of works of art. They search for new ways of preserving art while at the same time making it as accessible as possible.

A guy here in town has this EMD up on Craigslist:
Niner E. M. D. - $1600 (Spartanburg SC)
He is asking $1,600 but might take a bit less and seems pretty eager to sell. I have a bike on ebay at the moment and would think hard about getting this one if mine sells.
Seems like a pretty good build, but I am not a fan of the sweep back handlebars and it has been a long time since I used grip shift, so that might be a couple hundred I would need to spend up front to replace those parts. I know nothing about a Manitou Minute fork.
Considering that you can get a decent new EMD for about $2,100, what would be a reasonable offer for this one?

Family escapes early morning fire in Harwinton
Fire marshal says smoke detectors saved them
HARWINTON – Smoke detectors are being credited with saving the lives of a family of four whose house was destroyed in an early morning fire today. Andrew and Lisa Ruwet of 50 Twenty-Four Bumper Road and their children – 2½-year-old Tessa and 11-day-old Clark – escaped shortly before 1:30 a.m. after being alerted by the detectors after a fire apparently ignited in the chimney of an oil and wood furnace in basement.
"Thank God he had smoke detectors throughout the house. If he didn't, they wouldn't be here," said fire marshal Bill Baldwin. "The most probable cause was a build-up of soot and debris in the chimney pipe."

This year has not been my best year and it probably all started back in February...so let me start there...
February i felt on top of the world! I was consistently running (mind you I only started running towards the end of November 2013), the scale was showing a great low number (246lbs) and my body was slimming down. I felt great and looked great!
Sometime towards the end of February I tweaked my knees...BOTH knees. I still ran a bit but mainly went back to walking. I had a 10k on February 22nd and my goal was to complete it under 90 minutes. Because my knees were hurting pretty badly i walked more of that race than i wished. I actually finished the race in 93 minutes...I was so terribly disappointed in myself taht i cried when i was done. I missed my goal by three lousy minutes!
This started my downfall...
I allowed that disappointment to control me. But i didn't realize it for another few months.
In March I had my first half marathon for this year - my 5th overall. I had taken time off from running to allow my knees to feel better. I still ran a bit of the half but not much. I did have my best time for a half at 3hrs and 36mins but my goal for 2014 was to complete a half in under 3hrs and 15mins. The disappointment and loss of personal records was taking it's toll on me.
In April, just 2 weeks after the half, i had my next 10k. I felt fantastic! I ran/walked the entire course but i had decided not to go balls to the wall so to speak. I just went at a pace taht i knew i could sustain. I finished in 96 minutes but i had ran/walked the ENTIRE course.
But the realization that I was not going to meet my time goals this year was naging me in the quiet depths of my thoughts. Now we all know those voices aren't quiet...
Then May happened...my breaking point. The point where i said "eff" it i'm done!
To this day I have not relayed what happened to anyone...it was a story kept bwtween two friends that went to complete another half marathon together. So here it goes...
May 3rd was the Biggest Loser Half Marathon in Beaumont, TX. We drove down to partake in the expo, meet some of the past contestants and then eventually rested for the half marathon itself. I felt good. My legs were loose. I was ready.
We got up bright and early to make it over to the start of the half. The air was already thick with humidity and it was in the high 80's already by 6:30am. Since Beaumont is along the ocean i knew the air was going to be thicker and therefore it was going to be a bit harder to breathe.
The first nine miles we ran and walked and we were doing about a 16 minute mile pace. PERFECT! I knew i wasn't going to make my goal time but i was on the road to beating my best time to date.
Then things went bad pretty fast from there.
Somewhere around mile 10 i started slowing down...i mean really slowing down. I found it hard to take in a breath. I had to actually stop a few time between mile 10 and 12 to just try to gulp in a deep enough breathe. My breathing was rather shallow and that sun was beating on us something fierce. I should also mention that the final 2 miles had some pretty good hills and very little shade. I need to also mention taht there were NO medics along the route. There were a few people taht were laying on the side of the route trying to catch their breath with no one helping them. I was getting angry by the minute at this point.
Here was my thought...this is a freaking half marathon. On top of that this was the Biggest Loser Half Marathon. They wanted people that were over weight and out of shape to go for it. BUT THEY FAILED TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR ANYONE. They had volunteers but they were just standing around or were only at the water stations (about every 3 miles). There were people passing out and no one was there to help them.
I would have stopped at mile 11 but since there was no help in sight i just kept on walking. At mile 13 there were FINALLY medics and police officers but by them i just need a few more feet to call it a day. This was by far the worst event i had ever done. Take my time and me out of the equation and it was still a terrible event. They placed way too many people in harms way by not having it properly orchestrated.
After the half i grabbed a few bottles of water and some clementines and sat in the shade for about 30 minutes. I needed to cool off as my body was tremendously over heated and i was starting to shake.
I've never quit a race before and the fact that i so badly want to just stop 2 miles out from the finish should be an indication as to just how bad this event was for all of us. This was my tipping point. I was done.
A few weeks later i had my next 10k. It was the Disco Run 10k and i finished in 1hr and 41mins. I struggled during this race because i hadn't kept up my training. I was still out there walking but at a leisurely pace not at a race pace.
In June i had the Must-Dash 5k and completely walked it. I was miserable.
Towards the end of June and the first two weeks of July I went home to Chicago to visit family. When i got back i weight myself...i was 283.4lbs. OUCH!
I've never stopped moving throughout these months but my eating...well i was eating my disapointments and the scale was the convincing evidence. I don't even want to know what the scale would have shown had i stopped walking during all of these months.
I didn't want to live my old life style. So i made a plan and started working towards reaching my goals. The first two weeks on any new plan is difficult. It was a bunch of ups and downs both nutritionally and emotionally.
I had my first 15k two days after i returned home. I was not ready for it so i dropped back to the 5k. I barely ran any of it. I was feeling every pound i had packed back on my body. I finished in just over 52 minutes.
August 1st i weighed in at 279.8lbs. This morning i weighed in at 276.2lbs.
I registered for my races at the end of 213 and beginning of 2014. Here's what's still on the agenda for the year:
8/30 Pink Soles in Motion 5k
9/21 Plano Hot Balloon Half Marathon
9/27 Race for the Cure 5k
10/25 Moster Dash Half Marathon
11/27 Thanksgiving Day Run 5k
I know u'll do at least 2 5k's in December i just haven't decided which ones yet. I've also registered for a few races in 2015 already as well.
So it took me a few months to gather myself up and get out of the funk and downward spiral. I'm currently in training for my next half marathon in September and i'm taking it one day at a time. I will do my best and i will be happy with knowing i did just that.
Let me start by saying I�ve changed the quality of my life by making conscious decisions. Nothing about this process has been easy, but the rewards I�ve given to myself far out-weigh a life of sitting on the couch being unable to do anything. Along my journey I have been honest and open about my struggles with feeling lonely, depression, food binges and just a solid lack of a desire to exercise. So when I was asked by one of my fellow BLC25 team leaders about sharing my story as part of our Inspirational Monday stories I was a bit honored, horrified and, to be honest, I laughed. But then I thought about it. The stories that I enjoyed reading the most were the ones that were honest, real, emotional, and shared their struggles and reasons why they are still striving to move forward in the face of situations where most people would have raised their hands in surrender. So here goes my story�
What was life like before you started taking an interest in your health? Before 2012 my life revolved around television and food. After work I�d go through a drive though (because when you�re 320+ pounds you don�t really want to be seen walking into a restaurant alone to pick up a bag full of food), eat half of the food on the car ride home, turn on the television once I made it home and finished eating. My social life really just consisted of hanging out and going out to eat with friends from my singles group I met through church. Food and the TV seem to have been my constant companions regardless if others were with me or not. If there were plans to go do something active I was always ready with an excuse of why I couldn�t make the event. I was just too embarrassed to have anyone see me sweat and panting from just simply moving. I can also say that most night s ended with me crying myself to sleep. I wanted so much more for myself but felt that I was just too ugly and unlovable to have anything worthwhile.
What was your "light bulb moment" that made you get serious about being healthier? In March 2011 I went to the Rock and Roll Dallas Half Marathon to cheer on about 5 friends that were running in it. The last quarter of a mile was pretty much them coming through the chute to cross over the finish line. Watching them I started feeling this HUGE lump in my throat and the tears started running down my cheeks. I remember closing my eyes and thinking to myself that I wanted to know what it felt like to accomplish something so big. I swore to myself that I�d do it. That one day I�d do my own half marathon and I�d know what it would feel like to run across that finish line. I didn�t tell anyone about that experience because the truth was that as much as I wanted it I just didn�t know how to get there.
Tell us a bit about your journey: It wasn�t until November 2011 that I actually started making plans to get healthier. I was out to lunch with a friend and we started talking about our weight and we decided that we�d start going for walks together. Nothing big, but we made plans to meet up at a local park and start walking. It was slow and tiresome but I was out there. I can remember feeling as though my lungs wanted to explode in my chest. But we didn�t stop. At least four times a week we�d meet up to walk. At this point I really didn�t change my eating habits but because of the walking my weight went down to about 290lbs.
After a few months we decided we needed something to push ourselves. So I signed up for my first 5k for that April. That 5k was the hardest move but I did it. This was actually my second 5k. In 2009 I participated in a 5k and came in dead last and it was horrifying. But this 5k sparked something. That year I completed over fifteen 5ks.
On Thanksgiving Day 2012, over dinner, another friend and I started talking and she joined us in our walks and 5ks. Come Christmas time I knew I wanted more. I signed up for my first 10k. Crossing that finish line felt fantastic! Our first walk following that 10k I threw out the idea of competing in a half marathon. One of the girls agreed to train and walk with me in the half. In March of 2013 I crossed the line of my first half marathon. Just a few months later I crossed the finish line of my second half marathon. In fact in 2013 I also completed a number of 5ks and an additional 10k. I also walked all 60 miles in the Susan G. Komen, 3 Day, 60 Mile Breast Cancer Walk in November of 2013. This year alone I�ve already completed a few 5ks, a 5 miler, two 10ks and 2 half marathons. I�m registered for a great number of other races for the remaining of 2014.
Did you encounter any obstacles during your journey and, if so, how did you deal with them? Along the way my weight has fluctuated. My lowest since starting this journey was just this past February. I weighed in at 247.3lbs. I felt unbelievable! But here�s my struggle. I struggle with self-sabotage a lot. The moment I can start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel I fall to pieces. That�s where I�m at currently - struggling. Since February my weight has spiked up as high as 280.0lbs.
I knew my journey would never be easy. I knew I�d learn all sorts of lessons along the way. But to have to fight so much for something you so badly want is something I didn�t think I�d encounter. I mean my opponent is myself! I�m my worst critic and I know what to say to myself to feel defeated. Fighting my inner demons has proven to be the toughest battle and it�s a constant battle.
I try not to dwell on where I was and where I should be in my journey. I try to focus on all the things I can now do that just a few years ago were only dreams. I�m so much more active now and I don�t shy away from new adventures � unless they terrify me (you won�t catch me jumping out of a plane).
What did you find most helpful to keep you motivated? What keeps me motivated are my friends that I walk and run with as well as some of the friendships I�ve formed through SparkPeople. People that are real, those that share their struggles and aren�t afraid to call me out on my crap are usually the ones I hold close to my heart. I also have a bucket list of items that I�d love to check off and as I�m moving more and slimming down those items can easily be obtained.
What advice would you give to someone just beginning their journey? Forget about what anyone else tells you that you should be doing. You need to figure out what you enjoy. Typically what you enjoy works best for you. Once you realize what that is go with it. Also take it slow. If you rush into anything too fast and before you are completely ready you may burn out and quit. Slowly incorporate more things you�d like to do or change.
How has your life changed since improving your health? I�m not so nervous about having others see me sweat, jiggle, or breathe hard. Why? Because it means I�m out there trying to improve myself. Since I made that choice to be more active a few years ago I�ve been able to lower my dosage of high blood pressure and diabetes medication. My goal is to be able to get off of them completely.
My weight isn�t where I�d like it to be but it�s not going to stop me from moving and doing the things I�d come to love. So while I may not have the typical �success story� most people have come to know, I am an inspirational story nonetheless. To all my Chubb Club members you keep going and hold your head high. Regardless of what the scale may read or what anybody that has never struggled with their weight may tell you, you keep improving your health and one day you�ll get there. You may not get there on their terms, but you�ll get there on your own. There�s a lot of learning to be had along the way. DO NOT SKIMP OUT ON THE LEARNING. One of the greatest things I�ve learned so far in my journey is to love myself.
Day 7 I debated internally on whether or not i should walk after work of just go home. Well i decided to change at the office and see how I felt as i was driving. The moment i left the building i knew i was going to go walking. We had a slight breeze that felt amazing...we've had neat 90 degree weather lately that the breeze made it feel almost tropical...as if i were on vacation somewhere. I stopped at 3.1 miles because i needed to use the restroom (you know drinking all that water all day long makes a girl hafta go pee!). I then decided to just make one small loop around the baseball fields. Why? Because my fitbit indicated that i only needed another 3200 steps to reach my 15,000 steps a day goal. I finished at 3.64 miles!
April 28th was Day 7:
I walked 3.64 miles
There were so many little ducks out! I took a picture of these two little girls feeding the ducks.
As another part of this challenge is my weightloss. Here's where i stand:
Starting Weight: 319.8lbs
4/14/14 267.8lbs
4/21/14 264.8lbs (-3.0lbs)
4/28/14 263.7lbs (-4.1lbs)
What are my goals for Day 8?
* walk 4-5 miles
* strength train for 20 minutes
* eat under 2000 calories
* burn around 3000 calories
(I use a fitbit so those calories burned are my calories burned for a 24hr period of time NOT just during my workouts)
Days 4-7 proved something to me that i already kinda knew. I over eat on the weekends. I still got in my fruit and vegetables, but over al i ate more than i should. Was it terrible food? No...but even too much of the good and healthy stuff racks up the calories.
April 25th (Friday) was Day 4:
I walked 3.34 miles
It was closer to 90 degrees so here I am as always taking in the air conditioning before i start my walk:
I'm always rosy cheeked after a walk:
April 26th (Saturday) was Day 5:
I walked 10.74 miles
Waiting in my car at 6am for my friend to show up so we can begin our walk:
We walked through much of Grapevine, TX and walked around a vineyard...
Then we walked around Lake Grapevine for a bit:
Then we went to the Botanical Gardens in Grapevine...
Back in the car after a few hours of walking.
April 27 (Sunday: was Day 6:
As another part of this challenge is my weightloss. Here's where i stand:
Starting Weight: 319.8lbs
4/14/14 267.8lbs
4/21/14 264.8lbs (-3.0lbs)
4/28/14 263.7lbs (-4.1lbs)
What are my goals for day 7?
* walk 3-4 miles
* strength train for 20 minutes
* eat under 2000 calories
* burn around 3000 calories
(I use a fitbit so those calories burned are my calories burned for a 24hr period of time NOT just during my workouts)
Day 3 of my challenge wasn't so bad. I knew i needed to make sure i burned over 3000 calories throughout the day because i was going out to eat with friends. We went to this hole in the wall Mexican restaurant (always the best foods!) and i knew i was getting their chicken fajita salad that was 770 calories. That part was easy. But i wanted to burn the extra calories so i could eat chips and salsa. I had already planned for this to be a break even kind of day.
April 24th was Day 3:
i ate roughly 2460 calories
I burned roughly 3450 calories
I walked 4.21 miles
Even with the chips and salsa i would have been under 2000 calories eaten for the day. Then why did i eat closer to 2500 calories? Because i polished off the last of the cookies at my house. So no more cookies to munch on which is a good thing!
It's always so peaceful in the shade areas...
Don't let the shade fool you, it was hot!
After...trying to cool down in my car before i drove to meet friends for dinner...
As another part of this challenge is my weightloss. Here's where i stand:
Starting Weight: 319.8lbs
4/14/14 267.8lbs
4/21/14 264.8lbs (-3.0lbs)
Since i am a daily weigher here's what the scale has read this week:
4/21/14 264.8
4/22/14 264.8
4/23/14 263.2
4/24/14 262.8
4/25/14 262.0
I know these numbers will fluctuate. My official weighins will be every Monday.
What are my goals for day 4?
* walk 3 miles
* strength train for 20 minutes
* eat under 2000 calories
* burn around 3000 calories
(I use a fitbit so those calories burned are my calories burned for a 24hr period of time NOT just during my workouts)
Since it's the weekend, i'll post by goals for Days 5-6 as well:
Day 5:
* walk 10-12 miles
Day 6:
* walk 3-4 miles
* strength train for 45 minutes

I left renting a car for the wedding for the last moment, mainly because I was so busy with all the other details that I placed it on the back burner. However, after calling numerous agencies that wanted to charge me minimum of 3 hours for just a pick up and drop off at the event I came across Padrino Limousine. Not only did the have the car we wanted, old Rolls, but they only charged me for the pick up and drop off service. The driver was impeccably dressed, car was beautiful and he was courteous enough to drive around the venue since he knew we were still waiting for my grandmother to arrive. I highly recommend them

Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert win big at Academy of Country Music Awards
LAS VEGAS — Everything went to script Sunday night at the Academy of Country Music Awards until the end — when Luke Bryan pulled off an amazing upset and won entertainer of the year.
Bryan beat out some of country music's top stars, including two-time winner Taylor Swift and overall award leader Miranda Lambert, in an upset that few would have predicted. The 36-year-old Georgia native recently began headlining his first arena tour and was the co-host of this year's show.
After an emotional speech, co-host and fellow nominee Blake Shelton held Bryan up and joked that he won in his "first and last year as co-host" of the awards.
Shelton shared one award with Lambert, his wife, for "Over You," the deeply personal song they co-wrote. With three other wins — including her fourth straight as female vocalist of the year — Lambert was the night's most-honored star.
"Over You," written by the couple about Shelton's late brother, won song of the year at the Country Music Association Awards last November as well.
"As a songwriter, having your song and your lyrics recognized by your peers is pretty much as good as it gets," Lambert said. "And I'm so thankful for being in this genre of country music, every single time someone's nominated, I just cheer, because I love everybody to death. So thank you for accepting me as a song writer, not just as a singer, because that means the world to me."
Eric Church won two awards, including album of the year, and was tied with Jason Aldean, Little Big Town and Florida Georgia Line.
Church, this year's top nominee, also won vocal event of the year for his collaboration with Aldean and Luke Bryan for their collaboration on "The Only Way I Know" and performed his somber but powerful song "Like Jesus Does" with only an acoustic guitar and a backup singer.
"I can't believe I just met John Fogerty," Church said as he accepted the album award from the Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman and Lambert. "We should hang out later."
Aldean, country's top-selling male act, won male vocalist of the year. Little Big Town had wins for vocal group and video of the year. Florida Georgia Line won for new artist and were previous winners in the new vocal duo/group category.
Bryan is the first male winner of the entertainer of the year award since 2007 when Kenny Chesney won the first fan-voted award. Swift and Carrie Underwood have won two apiece since then.
Husband and wife Shawna and Keifer Thompson continued their feel-good story as Thompson Square won its second straight vocal duo of the year award.
Shawna Thompson gave a shoutout to her mother from stage.
Tears came to her eyes backstage as she explained that her father had recently passed away and she wanted to acknowledge her mother during her acceptance speech to support her.
"She's just having a really hard time," she said.
The night was full of colorful performances, but the anticipation of Garth Brooks and George Strait performing together overshadowed almost everything else. The two paid tribute to the late Dick Clark, the executive producer of the show since 1979 who passed away a year ago.
Brooks appeared on stage in flannel shirt and black cowboy hat with a Fu Manchu to perform his hit "The Dance" before Strait joined him for "The Cowboy Rides Away."
Reba McEntire introduced the two and paid tribute to Clark, momentarily breaking down as tears appeared in her eyes.
"He would slap me if he saw me crying up here," she said.
Shelton kicked the show off with his new single "Boys `Round Here," a hip-hop-flavored ode to redneck swag. He was joined by Bryan, Brad Paisley, Sheryl Crow and Pistol Annies, a trio that includes his wife.
Strait made his first appearance of the night earlier, singing "Give It All We Got Tonight." Lady Antebellum debuted new song "Downtown" and Charles Kelley finished off the song by rubbing pregnant trio-mate Hillary Scott's belly. Carrie Underwood stepped out of a black Cadillac parked on stage as she started her song, "Two Black Cadillacs."
Lambert appeared later with a fiery, diamond-studded rendition of her recent hit "Mama's Broken Heart."
John Mayer joined Paisley for a guitar summit on "Beat This Summer" and Taylor Swift and Keith Urban joined Tim McGraw on stage for "Highway Don't Care," which Urban finished off with a scorching guitar solo.

The latest issue of US Weekly [2] shows a beaming Kourtney Kardashian [3] snuggling with her two kids, 2-year-old [4] Mason and 4-week-old Penelope. But there's one thing the new mama [5] surely can't be smiling about: According to the magazine, Kourtney's boyfriend of 6 years, Scott Disick, hasn't changed a single one of his baby [6] daughter's diapers!
That's right, not a one. (To be fair, he tells the magazine: "My son is almost three and I don't mind changing his diapers, I'm just not comfortable doing it when the baby is that small. One wrong move and you could break the child's bone. At least my son can tell me, 'Dad, you're doing it wrong.' With a little baby it's scary.")

New Lawsuit Joins DePuy Pinnacle Multidistrict Litigation in Texas Court
The cases against DePuy Orthopaedics, a division of Johnson & Johnson, continue to mount as more lawsuits continue to join the Pinnacle hip replacement multidistrict litigation underway in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The latest has been filed by Tina Miller, who is currently awaiting revision surgery to replace a defective Pinnacle implant.
Plaintiff Alleges Symptoms of Metal Poisoning, Pain, and Grinding
In 2007, Ms. Miller was implanted with a Pinnacle hip replacement device. She claims that in recent months, she has experienced serious complications such as severe pain, feeling a grinding sensation, and hearing popping noises. She is also suffering from symptoms of metal poisoning, known as metallosis, as a result of microscopic particles that shed from the implant. Ms. Miller claims the device is interfering with her daily activities and reducing her quality of life. She seeks $5 million for "possible permanent injuries, economic loss, disfigurement, disability, and emotional distress."
Moreover, Ms. Miller's complaint alleges that DePuy concealed from the medical community, and consumers, "known defects, early failure rate, and unreasonable risks of having the device implanted." The lawsuit also states that the company continued to aggressively market the Pinnacle as a superior alternative for patients who sought to maintain an active lifestyle post-surgery. The company also claimed that the device would last longer than other available hip replacement implants.
The Rottenstein Law Group Advocates for Individuals Implanted With DePuy Pinnacle Hips
Those patients who have been implanted with hip replacement devices manufactured by DePuy are in need of compassionate legal representation to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve. The attorneys of the Rottenstein Law Group have been helping injured consumers recover losses stemming from dangerous drugs and defective medical devices for more than 25 years altogether. If you believe your DePuy Pinnacle hip implant is to blame for your pain, difficulty walking, and other symptoms, it's in your best interest to discuss the matter with a member of RLG.
