Working with children is a specialty and must be treated in this way. Children are most commonly brought to therapy, not on their own motivation. I am able to build a rapport with children and help them understand the benefits of therapy. I am able to engage them in healing their hurts, or lessening their anxieties, or even empowering them to control their own behavior. I have built my life around working with and relating to children, and nothing gives me more pleasure than to watch them succeed and gain all that life has to offer.
Children and Adolescents have obstacles today that were not present even 10 years ago. There is a huge generational gap that I can help connect. The expectations on young women and men are quite different and much more than they were before. I can help children and adolescents become connected to themselves and reconnected to their parents. This opens the path to mindful-freedom for the whole family.
If you have children who need professional counseling, a child psychologist Frisco, child therapist with Theravive is the best place to turn to. Each Frisco child psychologist with us has experience and training working with children and understands the unique dynamics involved in the treatment of a child in Texas. We hope you will contact one of our Frisco children's therapists or child psychologists for Frisco, TX child counseling services and assessment.

Bullets Over Broadway is a new musical based on the 1994 Woody Allen film of the same name that starred John Cusack, Dianne Wiest, Jennifer Tilly, and Mary Louise Parker. The musical features a book by Allen and includes popular music from the 1920s, during which the action is set.

In 1928, David Shayne, a fresh-faced, aspiring playwright, comes to Broadway hoping to make it big. In order to finance his play, God of Our Fathers, he agrees to cast Olive Neal, the talentless girlfriend of mobster Nick Valenti. Though she is a terrible actress, her gangster escort, Cheech, consistently comes up with great ideas to improve the play. Meanwhile, Shayne begins an affair with the show's temptress of a leading lady and the leading man begins an affair with Olive. Things seem to be going ok, but can Shayne keep this complicated arrangement going and produce his play successfully? Order your Bullets Over Broadway tickets today and find out.

Hello All,
I've just signed up to The Chocolate Life and I'm also just starting up a tiny little chocolate business here in London.
I'd love to meet up with anyone else who's on the chocolate scene here in the city.
Say hi! Let's go stuff our faces at the William Curley dessert bar or something.
Views: 196
Hi Connor, it's doubtful I'll be getting to London anytime soon but would love to talk cacao sometime! I am just starting up as a chocolatier too - only seen your post this morning.
All best and good luck,
Jo :-)
Connor -
ChocolateWeek in London is coming up and is the perfect time to connect with the London chocolate community. Chocolate Unwrapped is now the London Salon du Chocolat - but check in with the organizers ( Nudge PR ) about volunteering and the like - a great way to make introductions and get caught up on the scene.
Hi Connor, best of luck in your new endeavor :). any ideas where you would you be buying your cacao beans from ?

A week ago, Press TV aired a documentary film featuring former US National Security Advisor on Middle Eastern Affairs, Gwyneth Todd. Todd, an official during both the Clinton and Bush administrations, told audiences of quashed espionage investigations and Bush administration complicity in planning assassinations and terror attacks against US officials and military in order to blame Iran and justify a broadened war."
For decades, Fox News has spewed conspiracy theory, bigotry, propaganda and hate to the American people. In Britain, their parent company, NewsCorp, has been cited for espionage, wiretapping, blackmail and bribery. Dozens of their top management are facing years in prison.
Doesn't Israel have nuclear weapons? Ever hear a news story that describes how they got them? Uranium and plutonium was stolen from the US, pure "weapons grade" and shipped to Israel, tons of it.

There has been an increase in the number of abandoned dogs in the Rochester area. The latest, a pit bull, was found dead in a dumpster in the town of Gates.
A male pit bull, who was wrapped in a bag, was found dead inside a dumpster behind a business on Hinchey Road in Gates. It has not been determined if the dog died of natural causes. Police are looking for the owner.
With an increase in abandoned dog cases, shelters throughout Monroe County say there are better options.
"We don't hold anyone accountable for bringing in an animal that they can't take care of anymore. It's better to bring it in and let us try to find it a new home then somebody just letting it loose," said Reno DiDomenico, Humane Society of Greater Rochester.
"It may be an economy issue or maybe it's just general education that people don't know that you can bring them to a shelter," DiDomenico said.
"It's illegal to abandon an animal at a public place so bring it to a shelter."
Abandoned dogs like Pierre, who was left in a garbage bag inside a Petco store in January, have become eligible for adoption. But the future for some of these dogs is bleak.
Minnie was found severely injured inside a crate along train tracks in Rochester. After she became aggressive, due to a likely history of dog fighting, the rescue shelter had to put her down.
If you can no longer take care of your pet, or find a stray or dead animal, you should contact animal control or a local shelter during the day. After hours, Gates Animal Control, along with the Humane Society, recommends calling 911.

Our peanut butter is popular. So are our chia seeds. And our flax seeds. It doesn't take a nutty professor to play matchmaker to this trio. It's genius! Trader Joe's Crunchy Salted Peanut Butter with Flax and Chia Seeds is a power-trio product that provides a boost in both flavor and nutrition. First, there are good old peanuts from the southern United States. Enter chia seeds, grown in Ecuador and Mexico. The flax is from Saskatchewan—and not just cause it's fun to say. (Canada is the number one supplier of flax, worldwide.) A hint of...Read More
For many years, peanut butter reigned supreme. After a massive drought destroyed almost half of the U.S. peanut crop in the early 1980s, we went to market with our first alternative nut butter made from cottonseed kernels. And that's when our nut butter business went, well, nutty. From almonds and sunflower seeds to macadamia and cashews, we started grinding 'em out, giving our customers new options and experiences. Over the years, the popularity of different nuts has waxed and waned, along with them their butters. And that brings us to the nut of the matter: Cashews. They are...Read More
Most of us think of certain colors when specific fruits and vegetables are mentioned. You know, Bell peppers - green, carrots - orange, tomatoes - red, etc. But most everyone has seen (or tasted) fruits and veggies that have been cultivated to display unexpected colors. Our Yellow Tomatoes on the Vine are a fantastic example of naturally bred tomatoes with incredible color and remarkable texture and flavor. Our grower—located in Canada (summer through fall), and Mexico (winter through spring)—experimented with over 300 yellow tomato varieties for more than eight years before finally settling on this one. Of course...Read More

With three fumbles and three interceptions, the six takeaways were the most by a team in a single game in the NFL this season. Incredibly, the Chargers forced five of those turnovers in the first half alone, and it was the first time the team had that many in a single half since September 7, 1997.
"(The coaches) kept telling us to go out there and try to get the ball loose and turn the ball over," said
Liuget had arguably the most important forced fumble of the afternoon, stripping Jamaal Charles deep in Kansas City territory to set the Bolts up at the five-yard line. Two plays later,
"I just came off the ball and he appeared outside," said the second-year defensive end. "He wanted to get the ball to the edge, and I just stayed outside. I wrapped him up, and went after the ball and pulled it out. It feels great to be able to cause a turnover in the back field against a nice running back. He's one of the elite running backs in the NFL, so it felt great to be able to do that."
Not only was the defense successful at creating turnovers, it also was able to get one into the end zone as well as
"The ball got tipped and it was right in front of me," said Butler. "Hats off to the guys up front to get pressure on the quarterback. He threw it and I was in a good place to make a play. I'm telling myself to run ahead as fast as I can and score and get seven for the team. You see the end zone, and
Most importantly, the offense was able to capitalize, scoring 24 points off those takeaways. It was the team's most points scored off turnovers since November 29, 2009, also against the Chiefs.
"It helps when you get a short field like that," said Le'Ron McClain. "We fed off our defense. It was a great team win for us. When you see your defense out there doing what they did, it makes you want to reward that effort."

An Evaluation of Scaffolding for Virtual Interactive Tutorials PROCEEDINGS
Claus Pahl, Dublin City University, Ireland
World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education, in Montreal, Canada ISBN 978-1-880094-46-4 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
Scaffolding refers to a temporary support framework used during construction. Applied to teaching and learning it describes measures to support a learner to become confident and self-reliant in a subject. In a Web environment scaffolding features need to replace the instructor. We discuss our approach to Web-based scaffolding based on the apprenticeship and activity theory. We suggest a set of four scaffold types that have made our scaffolding-supported virtual interactive tutorial successful. We present a novel evaluation approach that is embedded into an iterative, evolutionary instructional design.

The Data is Daunting
I took a lot of heat the other day for suggesting that the Christian right is a lot smaller than Christians think. They simply weren't there for Romney. Either they sat on their hands because Romney is a Mormon, or they just aren't a potent bloc for the right any longer.
I also suggested, with good intent, that politically, Jesus should not be the centerpiece of the right's platform. God certainly can be, but not Christianity. It is too exclusionary, too intimidating to secularists and possibly alienating to a growing number of people who are not necessarily Godless, but not practicing Christians. Christians, being fruitlessly pedantic, may believe that, technically, there is no such animal. But they are apparently out there, if this research is to be believed, pulling the lever for the current Messiah, and not Jesus Christ.
I look at all data with healthy skepticism. Often, the opposition releases data in a attempt to elicit the response they want from their foe. But the piece of data that is irrefutable is that Obama sits in the white house.
Could these numbers be a fabrication, so that the RNC, responding to the DNC's bait, does what I have suggested, drop Jesus? It might.
But what if it's accurate? Would Christians be interested in winning national elections any longer? Would they simply insist on an ecumenical platform, even if meant losing secular votes they might get otherwise?
Prepare for a fight. It's coming. Life is never easy.

If you don't want to give NPR hits, here's another article.
@ BFH – Not to mention fragmented.+1
I red the article the other day(Drudge). I think it is important to note that when asked, I consider myself one of the "nones". I belong to no formal religion, so I answer that question as "Religiously Unaffiliated", and some take that to mean anti-religious…I am however far from it. As I have said before, this is coming from outside the party or being floated by the GOP power elite hungry to keep power without principle. Yes Big Fur Hat, it is "bait".
There are 72 pages of data with dozens of links to more data, and as we saw with the Politico poll yesterday, data can be used to mislead. I linked this in the other thread ( https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=442276959159242&set=a.403900242996914.106251.289575117762761&type=1&theater ), but could not find this graphic in the report, thopugh it appears to come from the same data. If you look, the numbers show that the religiou vote (including the "nones") turned away from obama when viewed as a percentage. Most of them went for Romney.
Bottom line for me is I see this as a stepping stone to remove God from our party. I will not stand aside and let "them" get a step ahead.+1
and Big Fur Hat, I never had any doubt that your intentions were/are good. You are also not afraid to touch the 3rd rail, and that should be applauded.+4
This is why I laugh whenever somebody says the GOP must woo Hispanics, blacks and Muslims because they are"natural allies", since they have traditional family values, conservative morality, strong work ethic yada yada yada.
All of that is secondary to money for most people. Capitalism succeeded for so long becausee it rewards greed and self-interest, while channelling the same proxuctively for society. Socialism is persuading many people currently, because it appeals to self-interest and security, and appears to present a viable alternative to capitalism, or at least a fairer way to harness the power of capitalism.
That is bullshit, and we know it, but let's face it: Most people would rationalize the mark of the beast on their forehead if it meant a steady check from somewhere. The GOP needs to persuasively argue that it can bring home the fattest paychecks to the most people and let the monks cloister themselves.+5
Here is some advice from a lib on why Republicans lose:
Not only are we too religious, but we are racist, anti-science, homophobic, war mongers, wrong on foreign policy…..+1
This is a no-win situation. The goal isn't to simply "win elections." The idea of becoming more liberal in our views to win elections is self-defeating. We must win as Conservatives or not at all.
The problem is that in a Democracy the majority rules and today the majority is made up of moochers, sluts, sexual deviants, wetbacks, overbreeders, Socialists, entitlement brats and hippies. We can't appeal to them and we don't want to. All we can do is sit back, cheat on our taxes, stop giving to charities that may help leftists and wish America the very worst.+6
So, you can all see what divorcing their party from God did for the Democrats. It has made them quite successful. No more morals (or lack thereof) to worry about, except for the one that another poster mentioned: greed.
As expressed by RINOS that means unrestrained capitalist greed.
As expressed by Democrats that means statism.
Eventually, the Democrats will run out of other people's money. At that point they will attempt to stay in power regardless of the human cost in terms of money or lives.
And if you have an 'opposing' party that's only caveat is capitalist power (always with the elite on top), then there is nothing left for the vast majority of citizens but servitude and bread and circus.
There is one way out and it has never revived a dying empire, and that is to recapture the virtues that won the day at its ascendency.
It is the hard way because the goal is so far down the road and requires self-sacrifice and patience, two virtues not common in the best of us today.+3
I fail to see where pandering to the left will give the republicans more votes.
We are morally corrupt in this country and I REFUSE to give into the consensus that the Repubs have to "drop" God.
Guess what? You get a mamby-pamby asswipe RINO that is going to give consent to homosexual marriage, make pot legal and continue to let taxpayers pay for abortions you will lose something more important than your country, which by the way is already lost….YOU LOSE YOUR SOUL.+6
"Could these numbers be a fabrication, so that the RNC, responding to the DNC's bait, does what I have suggested, drop Jesus? It might."
How about fabricating Romney's internal polling data because Soros and Co. outbid Romney's payment? That's among other things this piece suggests dems have done to get where they are:+2
My premise never includes removing God from the right's platform.
I'm talking about being less ecumenical and broadening the base by talking about more universal tenets of God.
How is that becoming less conservative?
It is if conservatives believe that it's the Jesus way or the highway.
And that, in my opinion, is a problem that needs to be addressed because it seems the left is exploiting this to win national elections.
The left will achieve a Godless society on the backs of those who seek to establish Jesus as the nation's faith.+3
How would you establish universal tenets of God and convey it to non-religious voters ?+2
First, I don't see the GOP, republicans or conservatives demanding that Jesus be part of the platform. I am not saying it doesn't exist out there, but I am not seeing it. Second, and more importantly, I see a rise over all in the influx of religious people to the right. Even the "nones" left obama and moved to Romney. Obama dropped 5 points in that demographic and Romney gained 3. We are winning. If you look at total numbers and say Romney lost 3 million voters, you gotta say in the same breath that obama lost 6 million voters.
Being told that the right needs to be less Christian to win makes about as much sense as saying that the right needs to be less racist to win. We are not racists, so I just ignore the bleating left and stick to my beliefs. I found 27 articles about the "Rise of the'nones'" and not one from a conservative group that took the view that you present. The left on the other hand is all over that view point.
It ain't broke, so don't fix it.+4
It is also my belief that there is a rise in the "nones" because main stream churches are moving away from their core beliefs. I was raised a Catholic and have no use for todays Catholic church.+4
How would you establish universal tenets of God and convey it to non-religious voters ? >
You're equating non-Jesus to non-religious. And that's been my point all along.
The article talks about unaffiliated believers in God.
There are more out there than you think.
Even Menderman, as he is arguing against my points, says he is a "none."
He's a "none" that happens to believe in Jesus. But there are "nones" that don't.
Are they worth culling or is the Christian right not interested?
If I go back to the original thread that first addressed this I see a lot of indignation that seems to support what I'm arguing here.
The right believes that conservative=God and God=Jesus.
When I suggest a platform of God but not Jesus everyone seems to be left scratching their heads.+2
Obama lost 9 points from the Jewish population.+1
Also, the atheists and non-religious I know don't care where the right gets their moral compass from, they are just glad we have one.+2
In the middle ages, the Catholic Church forbid lay people to read, or even possess a Bible. Although most people couldn't have read the Bible anyway, the thinking was that if the Church controlled the interpretation of the Bible, then the Church controlled Christianity.
Much of the protestant reformation was centered around removing Biblical interpretation from the clergy only, and making the Bible available to the masses. While this is generally good, it has lead to numerous virulent, and frequently violent disputes over the teachings of Jesus.
My point is that in the realm of secular politics, what does Jesus really stand for, and how does one follow Jesus? Even in the Christian community, various sects have differing interpretations on what this means and how to best do this.
By all means keep God in politics – I would argue that politics without God is actually dangerous. However, at a minimum there is too much confusion about what a "Christian" party is, or exactly what they stand for. As a protestant, I don't identify with Catholics, and disagree with certain aspects of other protestant denominations. But we all believe in God.+4
I am a Christian first and a conservative second. In fact, my conservatism comes out of the fact that I'm Christian, not the other way around.
Politically speaking, I don't care what someone believes as long as they don't murder, cheat, steal, etc.
Just like my neighbor. I don't care, politically, if they are dem or repub as long as they do the right thing. I don't care if they're Christian or Hindu as long as they don't murder, cheat or steal from me or others.
Spiritually, I DO care deeply that people find Jesus and accept the truth. I pray that everyone accepts the truth before they face judement after death. But I would never force someone to accept it. It has to come from a truly contrite, receptive heart.
So, in short, I agree with Jefferson, I don't care what you believe as long as you don't harm me or others (harm my person, property or liberty)…..+4
The democrats say they believe in God. Of course, being good democrats, they had to vote on it. And now you know why math is hard for democrats; they think a 50-50 voice vote is actually two-thirds.
I agree with BFH. God is God and there are non-believers that are conservative and understand the 1st Amendment. So they are not against you believing in God, just so that the party platform reflects it as a personal decision and "God" does not become national policy.
In the video above, the democrats had a nasty time in adding God back into their party platform. We need to show everyone that God has always been a part of our platform and will remain so. We need to understand that God ≠ the Judeo-Christian God. Watching the video, you see an Arab-American women voting no. Because the term "God" in this country is believed to be the Christian God. If you support the 1st Amendment, that belief is not so.
And that's what we need to make clear, not just to the non-Christian religious, but to the Christian religious and the non-religious conservatives as well.+1
"In the middle ages, the Catholic Church forbid lay people to read, or even possess a Bible. Although most people couldn't have read the Bible anyway, the thinking was that if the Church controlled the interpretation of the Bible, then the Church controlled Christianity"
The Catholic Church did not "forbid" lay ppl from having a bible. The fact is that it was hard to make them(there wasnt paper and Barnes and Nobles didnt exist back them ) and took the monks years to transcribe them by hand, that most people wouldnt have been able to afford it(and yes the ppl couldnt read)
The Church didnt want to "control " the interpretation of the bible , it compiled created and preserved the bible for over 1000 years( You'd think they knew what it meant being they put it together with a perpose in mind,ALL 73 BOOKS!) Then came the an Xpriest with an ax to grind. The rest is history
THE BIBLE CAME FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, so they told the pple about its meaning. Without the catholic church you wouldnt have a bible
SO save the Catholic bashing , Im NOT havin it.+2
Looks like they discovered the genetic link for what causes homosexuality this week, so gay marriage will become a dwindling issue as time goes by, as a vaccine or a gene therapy can't be far behind, correct? Or at least, disability benefits?
If nothing else, we should probably give it (DOMA, etc.) a rest if it's really an inherited disability…not like it's a choice at that point for the afflicted, right? Plus, it makes us look like intolerant bullies, which is what they're inclined to believe anyhow.
I think we're on much firmer footing with Liberty and Free Markets and upward mobility/the American Dream. Classic American Freedom & Opportunity, baby.
As I say every time I wade in on this, get them in the tent first and perhaps they will be better positioned then to explore what else we believe in. But nothing happens if the party keeps withering.
And tut-tutting people's life choices (as shitty as we may find them) is resulting in too many painful electoral ass-kickings.+1
I'm with Florida Girl on this one, Brother Wyatt. The Catholics were the water-carriers for 1,500 years after the Crucifixion/Resurrection…did things eventually go less than perfectly?
Well, Catholics are humans, so yes, of course they did.
But there wouldn't be a Martin Luther or a John Calvin or any of the others if it wasn't for the long and much despised Catholics. It's us that you guys are "Protesting" with your Protestantism.
But at some level it's like being pissed at your parents.+1
I am to the point where I feel this isn't worth arguing or debating.
Moral corruption is in both parties as far as I am concerned and I don't see where you can win over people with social conservatism, whether they are religious affiliated or not, because we are a nation of immoral degenerates.
When a country or people that was founded upon Judeo/Christian beliefs ( and yes IT WAS), has to question whether those beliefs are a thorn in it's side, then it doesn't deserve to exist.+5
Personally I think people turned out in droves for ABO. I think the vote was really cooked, something we just don't want to accept.
I've never seen election results slip out before the election like they did on several occasions here. Oopsie. No surprise that when they did they always favored Dear Leader. Apparently nobody is very concerned about that, especially those in our vaunted "press" "corpse". Maybe corpse IS the right term here..
Afraid I agree with Ann B- we're far more sunk already than most are willing to accept yet.+3
Well said @ super toe.
I'm not interested in convincing criminals and moral degenerates to vote for me.
At some point, bad company corrupts good character.
What does darkness and light have in common? How do you convince someone who thinks that it's okay to murder children that they should vote for you when you're pro-life?
There's no common ground there…..+4
@Chief and Florida Girl: I'm not bashing the Catholic Church. It was, for centuries, the universal church (hence, the name "Catholic"), and, as is not uncommon with any long term organization, had it share of scoundrels (See e.g. Alexander VI) as well as saints (See e.g. Bernard of Clairvaux), and many in between.
However, it is a fact that for a long period of time, the Church opposed translation of the Bible into any language but Latin, and opposed the general distribution of the Bible. Until the printing press became popular, this was not difficult to do, and combined with the fact that a significant percentage of people were illiterate, the Bible as a whole was not available to the vast majority of people except as preached from the pulpit. Furthermore, and probably consistent with the times, the Church was frequently very political, and went to great lengths, including executions and purges, to stamp out heresy – especially when that the heresy was a threat to the established order. (See e.g. Cathars). Keep in mind also that particularly up to the time of the Reformation, the ranks of the higher clergy were drawn from the ranks of the nobility, and many of these folks wanted to maintain their power and station in life.
Are Protestants any better? No, they have also had their share of saints and scoundrels, and various denominations have different beliefs on what it means to be a Christian and how to follow Jesus. Moreover, virtually all denominations have traditions that they follow which may or may not be purely Bible based, but which are accepted as part of their religion.
This is a political blog, and it was not my intent to bash Catholics or any other religious denomination, or discuss distinctions in religious dogma, which I am not qualified to do in any event. However, I do enjoy studying history, and frequently the Catholic Church is a point of discussion because it has been around for centuries, and for much of that time, and particularly in Western Europe, was about the only game in town. However, on balance, and probably by a long shot, the Catholic Church has been a positive influence on Western culture.
The point I was trying to make was that in the political arena, one can define a "Christian" as a follower of Christ, but what that entails, exactly, has been the subject of sometimes long and acrimonious dispute – in point of fact these disputes led to Protestantism. Particularly in a nation which prohibits the establishment of a theocracy (see First Amendment), trying to tailor a political party that is "Christian" seems virtually impossible.
And, to complete the point, I am not advocating removing God from any political party, and I do want our political leaders to have religious backgrounds and beliefs. The only other alternative, as I see it, is a belief in human beings as rational, wise and altruistic – and even I'm not that gullible.+2

The other good, non-eliminate, non-wandering line on here, when finished up the arete at least. Underrated - don't people like good direct lines?? As with GFD, the crux is staying calm and placing crucial gear at the moves, aside from that the climbing is great and good value.

Running and Races
Running and Races
My running career did not begin until the end of my senior year of high school. I actually was a swimmer for 11 years; practicing 6 days a week for about 3 hours a day, an enormous commitment! Longer distance events, such as the 200, 500, and 1650 free were my favorite races. However, in February of my senior year, I was beyond sick of swimming and quit! I was not planning to swim in college and was ready to start something different….
And this is where RUNNING comes in!
It has taken me about three years to reach the level I am at, and my best advice for any new runners is to stick with it! I was soooo slow when I first began, but gradually built up my endurance and am now in love with the sport, and run on my school's cross country team.
I have participated in a number of 5ks, a few 10ks, one half-marathon, a few sprint triathlons, and one olympic distance triathlon. Every single one of these were their own special experience, and every time I finish a race, the accomplished feeling I get is truly amazing. If anyone is contemplating running their first 5k, I say…GO FOR IT!
|Cross Country Home Meet- 9/2010
Here are my best times for each of the distances I have completed,
5k- 19:58, UMASS cross country meet, September 2010
10k- 43:34, Market Square Day Run- Portsmouth, July 2010
4 Mile- 26:51, New Years Day Wicked Frosty Four- Salem, January 2011
5 Miles- 33:50, Turkey Trot- Salem, November 2010
Half-Marathon- 1:36- Salem, September 2011
I also ran a "Mud Run" which was a 10k distance, battling through mud pits, jumping over walls, wading through ponds, and various other obstacles. It was one of the most fun experiences i have ever had!
*Update- I am not signed up for any races right now as I am taking a bit of a step back from running! About a month ago I found out I had very low iron and thus my running has felt like a sincere burden lately. As I work to get my Iron levels back up, I won't be taking on any serious running challenges, as I physically am unable to.
Once everything is restored… well who knows that 2012 will bring

I used to run competitvely in my university…(I am 30 years old now). I've been ailing with health issues the last 3 years, and now I can only walk…gosh, I miss it….so much…you are marvelous to be able to function. Treat your body well – don't abuse it!
- 2 March 20, 2011 at 5:31 pm
I am so sorry that you are unable to run now walking is a nice exercise as well, but I would understand missing the sport.
You're so right, it's important to thank your body for what it is capable of doing and not constantly have negative thoughts about it!
Thank you for reminding me of this

YOU ARE SPEEDY girl! So glad you emailed me so I could find your blog:)

The mud run looks so fun!!! I had a friend who did that, and I loved seeing her pics on facebook. I'm a new runner, and I am (for the most part!) really enjoying it. My husband and I are currently training for a 10k in September and a half marathon in November.

Wow! Reading this post makes me feel like you read what is inside my head whenever I go out to eat with friends. I am often uncomfortable eating at places where I cannot find "safe" options – especially if it isn't in my "meal time". My boyfriend and his family routinely eat dinner really late, and this sometimes makes me a little crazy.. by that time of night I am so hungry that I am sick and do not even feel hungry. So sometimes I'll say, oh I ate before I came, I'm not hungry. And then bam – no dinner for Savannah! I don't know why I think things like that, but I can't help it, even though I'm getting better and better.
It's so good to see that you are overcoming this disordered side of your brain!

Hey Tess,
First up I'll start by saying your story is so inspiring, and you're so incredibly courageous and brave to share that so honestly with the world.
I really admire that, you've come such a long way with healing yourself, and finding the joy in eery aspect of life, so keep on going girl!
I love finding other bloggers who are as passionate about running as I am!
I'm relatively new I guess you could say, and my next dream goal is to run a half-marathon. Unfortunately, I've been sidelined for a good part of 2012 with a femoral stress fracture, which really de-railed my training
I'm hopefully going to be able to come back stronger than ever and achieve what I want!
Congrats on your amazing race times, by the way.
Have you ever had any injuries or anything? If so, how did you deal with them?
Keep running and blogging!

I really wanted to like this movie a lot and there's a lot to like. It stars Cate Blanchett, Clive Owen, and Geoffrey Rush. It's about a really great period of British history. Amazing costumes. Stunning sets.
But.... after watching the movie, I feel I've been bashed over the head with a propaganda film: the movie takes its liberties with history and paints it in broad strokes.
Not my favorite Elizabeth film, but not bad over all.

Drug Safety:
FDA Faces Challenges Overseeing the Foreign Drug Manufacturing Supply Chain
GAO-11-936T: Published: Sep 14, 2011. Publicly Released: Sep 14, 2011.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Globalization has placed increasing demands on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of drugs marketed in the United States. The pharmaceutical industry has increasingly relied on global supply chains in which each manufacturing step may be outsourced to foreign establishments. As part of its efforts, FDA may conduct inspections of foreign drug manufacturing establishments, but there are concerns that the complexity of the drug manufacturing supply chain and the volume of imported drugs has created regulatory challenges for FDA. FDA has begun taking steps to address some of these concerns, such as the establishment of overseas offices. This statement discusses (1) FDA's inspection of foreign drug manufacturing establishments, (2) the information FDA has on these establishments, and (3) recent FDA initiatives to improve its oversight of the supply chain. The statement presents findings based primarily on GAO reports since 2008 related to FDA's oversight of the supply chain. These reports include Food and Drug Administration: Overseas Offices Have Taken Steps to Help Ensure Import Safety, but More Long-Term Planning Is Needed (GAO-10-960, Sept. 30, 2010) and Drug Safety: FDA Has Conducted More Foreign Inspections and Begun to Improve Its Information on Foreign Establishments, but More Progress Is Needed (GAO-10-961, Sept. 30, 2010). GAO supplemented this prior work with updated information obtained from FDA in August and September 2011.
Inspections of foreign drug manufacturers are an important element of FDA's oversight of the supply chain, but GAO's prior work showed that FDA conducts relatively few such inspections. In 2008, GAO reported that in fiscal year 2007 FDA inspected 8 percent of foreign establishments subject to inspection and estimated that, at that rate, it would take FDA about 13 years to inspect all such establishments. GAO recommended that FDA increase the number of foreign inspections it conducts at a frequency comparable to domestic establishments with similar characteristics. FDA subsequently increased the number of foreign establishment inspections. FDA's inspection efforts in fiscal year 2009 represent a 27 percent increase in the number of inspections it conducted, when compared to fiscal year 2007--424 and 333 inspections, respectively. However, FDA officials acknowledged that FDA is far from achieving foreign drug inspection rates comparable to domestic inspection rates--the agency inspected 1,015 domestic establishments in fiscal year 2009. Also, the types of inspections FDA conducts generally do not include all parts of the drug supply chain. Conducting inspections abroad also continues to pose unique challenges for the agency. For example, FDA faces limits on its ability to require foreign establishments to allow it to inspect their facilities. Furthermore, logistical issues preclude FDA from conducting unannounced inspections, as it does for domestic establishments. GAO previously reported that FDA lacked complete and accurate information on foreign drug manufacturing establishments--information critical to understanding the supply chain. In 2008, GAO reported that FDA databases contained incorrect information about foreign establishments and did not contain an accurate count of foreign establishments manufacturing drugs for the U.S. market. FDA's lack of information hampers its ability to inspect foreign establishments. GAO recommended that FDA address these deficiencies. FDA has taken steps to do so, but has not yet fully addressed GAO's concerns. Given the difficulties that FDA has faced in inspecting and obtaining information on foreign drug manufacturers, and recognizing that more inspections alone are not sufficient to meet the challenges posed by globalization, the agency has begun to implement other initiatives to improve its oversight of the drug supply chain. FDA's overseas offices have engaged in a variety of activities to help ensure the safety of imported products, such as training foreign stakeholders to help enhance their understanding of FDA regulations. GAO recommended that FDA enhance its strategic and workforce planning, which FDA agreed it would do. FDA has also taken other positive steps, such as developing initiatives that would assist its oversight of products at the border, although these are not yet fully implemented. Finally, FDA officials identified statutory changes that FDA believes it needs to help improve its oversight of drugs manufactured in foreign establishments. For example, in place of the current requirement that FDA inspect domestic establishments every 2 years, officials indicated the agency would benefit from a risk-based inspection process with flexibility to determine the frequency with which both foreign and domestic establishments are inspected. In light of the growing dependence upon drugs manufactured abroad and the potential for harm, FDA needs to act quickly to implement changes across a range of activities in order to better assure the safety and availability of drugs for the U.S. market.

On a personality level, tonight's vice-presidential debate has been widely reported as between the policy wonk (Ryan) and the party hack (Joe Biden). OK, I didn't have to add the names, right? It should be pretty obvious.
As usual, the framing of the issues by the mainstream media isn't about the issues at all: it's about personalities or a "horse race" or some other analogy that diverts attention away from the real issues. Just as in last week's debate, this one will continue the fight of the century between free market capitalism and a centrally-planned economy. Unfortunately, it's the fight of the last century and free market capitalism won hands down.
The Soviet Union, champion of state planning, imploded while free market economies flourished. At the beginning of the 21st century we're seeing the implosion of the not-quite-so-planned economies of Western Europe while the Democrats in the U.S.A. rush to take us down that same path. It makes little sense, but today's Progressives are eager to move this country back to the statist agendas of Wilson, Roosevelt, and Johnson.
Barack Obama made a defense of the government student loan takeover in the first debate that I think most people missed and that illustrates the mindset. He praised the move first on the grounds that they were "eliminating the middle-man" in the loans process and removing the profits that the lenders would otherwise make. There's the bias against the capitalist system. He also made the outrageous claim that is was better because students could go directly to the federal government for their college loans rather than having to ask their parents for a loan!
There, in a nutshell, is the attitude that the government is going to take care of you—and it is even preferable to being taken care of by your parents. I don't know any family who doesn't want to send their kids to college and many plan for college funds from the time the child is born. To say the government is a preferable source is a complete negation of the American Dream that we want our kids to be better off than we are, that even the poorest immigrant families want their kids to rise to at least the middle class.
In 2008 we heard Joe Biden say that the middle class was damaged and they (his team) were going to "restore the middle class." In the last four years middle class annual incomes have actually declined on average by $4000. Joe Biden said the middle class has been devastated. Perhaps he forgets who was in charge.
Who is the "middle class" anyway? When Biden used the term in 2008 I suspected he was talking in code. In the usual Marxist understanding of class, there is always a conflict between two classes: the oppressors and the oppressed. In the capitalist system, the oppressors are the rich capitalists and the oppressed are the working class—the proletariat. In reality, there exists a middle class—the bourgeoisie—whose interests should lie with the proletariat against the capitalists, but who have been deluded by the capitalists into thinking they should side with them instead.
I doubt most of this country's progressives understand this rationale for the kind of class warfare we see coming from the Democrat party. In America, unlike Europe where Marxism began, we don't have strict classes. "Rags to riches" is one of our favorite theme stories. The reverse—riches to rags—is also possible, a cautionary tale. The rules of Marxist class warfare just don't work here the way they're supposed to.
Working class in practice means unions. Middle class used to mean professionals like doctors, lawyers and engineers, and entrepreneurs. It used to be blue collar and white collar from the shirts each typically wore. In reality, though, those were never hard and fast distinctions. The real distinction was income.
Middle class in America really means middle income. Democrats have always played on our aspirations to become middle class while at the same time attacking middle-class values. It is middle-income families that have been hit hard by the policies of redistribution and higher taxation. . It is middle-income families that have been hit hard by the increasing costs of government regulation and control. Trickle-down government results in trickle-up poverty. It will be interesting to see how Biden attempts to spin that tonight.
Meanwhile, I expect Paul Ryan to continue to explain how a greater reliance on free market principles will start to turn things around. If the first rule of getting yourself out of a hole is to stop digging, then the second rule is to build yourself a ladder. That ladder is Paul Ryan's budget. At least, it is a step in the right direction. Building on his ideas, subsequent budgets by the Tea Party Debt Commission, Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee and others go even further, faster. Instead of party-line conformity there will be robust debate and positive action.
That's what we will see a preview of tonight: Biden's tired party line advocacy versus a spirited defense of American ingenuity and creativity.

I Am Legend
The Man and I had the rare opportunity to escape and catch a movie. I've been wanting to see I Am Legend since it came out last month. Believe it or not, the babysitting gods smiled down upon us. Score!
I watched the majority of the movie through the sleeve of my sweater. Scary. It's not a horror film, but I'm a big chicken so it was horrifying enough. I don't want to get into all the philosophical implications of this movie...the cure for cancer, the questionable threat of vaccinations, the destruction of the human race...because then I'll get all freaked out again and I won't be able to enjoy the pizza I'm about to pick up for dinner. And you don't mess with a big girl and her dinner. Heh.
I once read an article in Natural Health Magazine and it explained what happens to a person when they watch an exciting movie. The eyes and the heart don't realize what they are viewing is for entertainment. So the heart rate increases, the stress level rises--basically, your body is freaking out while you are trying to sit in your seat and "enjoy" a carefree night at the movies.
I have a tough time dealing with catastrophe movies. The end of the world, alien invasion, the destruction of war, natural disaster,the plague--I just can't deal. I think because I am constantly putting my motherhood and my children in the scenario. What steps would I have to take to gather up all my kids in the event of a gigantic tidal wave? If there was an alien invasion like in War of the Worlds, how could I just walk in the street with the thousands of other people and keep track of all my kids? Would I remember the diaper bag? Would I forget everyone's sweater? Stuff like that. This is what goes through the mind of a mother. Sure, you were probably munching on your popcorn and licorice, but me...I'm squirming in my seat, praying Lawd, LAWD, help me Lawd! Jesus, take us home!
So during I am Legend, when people are evacuating because they are shutting off the island, and Will sends his family off and he chooses to stay behind...aaaaahhh. When the visibly infected mother is trying to pass her baby off to someone and she's crying and pleading...sigh, those are the scenes my mind can't seem to erase. It was rough.
The scene of Will Smith (is it just me or does he just get better with age?), waking up and working out in the sunshine...doing his pull-ups with his perfect abs, running on the treadmill with all that chocolatey goodness. Well, it almost made up for it all. Almost.

Yes the movie was great!ReplyDelete
When I was Will doing pull ups I just wanted to drop to the floor and do 20. But if I had a personal trainer and had to work out for two hours a day in order to get paid a couple million dollars for the movie, I could probably look like that too!
Two thumbs up!

KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - Mohave County health inspectors found live roaches and unsanitary conditions at an elementary school in Kingman.
The Kingman Daily Miner reports that the kitchen at La Senita Elementary was given a rating of "needs improvement" during a Dec. 10 inspection.
Inspectors want the school to deal with the insects, remove all cardboard from the kitchen, deep clean all surfaces, caulk around all wallboards and sinks and replace the counter for tray return.
A follow-up inspection is scheduled for Friday.
Kingman Unified School District Food Services Director Paula Loomis says the district's schools normally get excellent ratings and that the problems at La Senita were being addressed.
