It's lunchtime for this girl!
Bed of spinach, tossed in olive oil + balsamic vinegar, topped with carrots, tomato/cucumber salsa, artichokes, mushrooms, and PROTEIN! in 4 forms: egg whites, tuna, chicken, and tofu!
I packed this salad with tons of protein for a few reasons:
- Ever since Fran told me about the Dukan diet I've been aware of my protein intake. It was low. Eggs, chicken, tofu, and tuna to the rescue!
- I'm lifting weights as part of the Jamie Eason LiveFit trainer program and Nicole's always telling me protein + weight lifting is like peanut butter + jelly… they NEED each other.
My more recent lunches have been salad+protein inspired, as well…
Wednesday's southwestern salad with lime chicken
Thursday's salad had a crumbled veggie patty on top with a side of cornbread (!!!obsessed!!!) and a peanut butter cookie
And yesterday I continued the protein kick with this sampler before my workout:
I skipped the cheese, but ate everything else like this:
- Take a bite of the pepperoncini
- Take a bite of something else
- Chew, swallow, repeat
I think it's time to revisit my pepperoncini hummus!
Going into the holiday season, I'm also trying my best to keep up with my fitness. I just read over on Janetha's Meals & Moves blog that she's organizing a Dedicated December challenge. We are about the same way through Jamie's program, so I found it particularly interesting that she wants to stick to the remaining 27 planned workouts and finish the program in December. I'm going to try my best to keep up with her and STAY ACTIVE this month. Any takers? Check out her blog for more info!
This morning I completed day 52 - chest/abs along with a 20 minute "total body" program on the elliptical. Last night I did 20 minutes on the elliptical, day 50 – arms/abs, and then biked for 30 minutes while catching up on blogs. (day 51 has to wait until Saturday… lack of leg machines.)
Wednesday night I went a little crazypants on the treadmill and warmed up for 1 mile, completed 5×400 sprints (0.25 miles @ 9.0 mph, 0.75 miles @7.5 pace), and then cooled down for another mile or so…
Running feels so good sometimes… ya know?
Oh, and I lost a little weight on Wednesday…
4-7 inches!!!!!!! < < I'm freaking out trying to adjust!!!!!!!
Question: What's your favorite protein? Favorite ways to serve it up?
Question: Do you have a "plan of action" for December's fitness?

Eggs with cheese. Best protein ever :)
Tara says:
I always make sure I get a ton of protein especially on lifting days and especially right before bed. I've been told that that's when your body is recovering, so more protein at night is a good thing! I love getting it in at dinner or lunch with a veggie burger salad. It's one of my favorite "lazy chef" meals!
Kristine says:
Ahhh I love the hair! Looks SO cute! I got a haircut this week too!
I love eggs, chicken, and fish for protein – and a protein shake in the morning!
livinglearningeating says:
I Exercise if you want, but remember to enjoy the holidays – they're more important! :) I like your hair cut!
Kalee says:
Love your hair! :)
I am planning on tracking my calories and planning my week out on Sunday to see when I know I will have a harder time getting it an hour workout and changining it into a higher intensity, shorter workout.

Yay for protein! I have found in the past year that protein makes such a difference in my body and that it is a must-have! And I love your hair!!

Ms Harkin Ms Harkin
97. Ms Harkin asked the Minister for Defence the arrangements that have been put in place to ensure a suitable premises for the two permanent Defence Force members and the 120 RDF members in Carrick-on-Shannon given that they must vacate the premises from which they are currently operating by 30 June 2004. [15185/04]
Mr. M. Smith Mr. M. Smith
[431] Mr. M. Smith: A suitable alternative premises has been identified in Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim, for the Reserve Defence Force unit concerned. A draft letting agreement is under consideration in my Department and in this regard the advice of the Chief State Solicitor has been sought with regard to the proposed terms and conditions.
Dr. Cowley Dr. Cowley
98. Dr. Cowley asked the Minister for Defence the situation with regard to improvement works at the Reserve Defence Forces location in Castlebar, County Mayo, at which there are two accommodation blocks still without electricity and improvements are needed in the cookhouse and on the fire alarm system; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15186/04]
Mr. M. Smith Mr. M. Smith
Mr. M. Smith: Castlebar Barracks contains the headquarters of an infantry FCA battalion and the headquarters of a cavalry FCA battalion. A total of 29 personnel work in the barracks, but on average, only 15 are on duty on any given day. The main use of the barracks in previous years was the annual summer training camps for members of the Reserve Defence Force. However, because of health and safety factors, alternative arrangements were made to hold the summer camps last year and this year at other military posts, where accommodation and training facilities are of the highest standards.
The barracks is not used for accommodation purposes, and the cost of providing temporary facilities at the barracks for summer camps or the question of upgrading the present permanent accommodation and kitchen facilities to ensure compliance with building, health and safety and fire regulations raise value for money consideration.
I have no proposals at present to close any Reserve Defence Force facility but in regard to annual summer camps at Castlebar Barracks, I must have regard to value for money considerations and competing priorities for limited resources.

Thanksgiving was last week and for the umpteenth year in a row I had planned to write something here but I didn't. This year it was because I was busy in the best way- enjoying my life.
Seven years ago (it was 7 years on Thanksgiving Day), I had brain and spinal surgery.
My husband and I were talking about it on thursday and I think I didn't realize what a big deal the surgery was at the time. I was so miserable with headaches, dizziness, nausea and weakness that the idea of something going wrong just didn't have room in my mind. It had to work, had to make my life better because I had big plans. And thankfully, the surgery was a success.
The weeks, months and years after the surgery weren't what I expected. The headaches came back, there were more MRIs than I can count, there were lumbar punctures and long discussions that all ended in puzzled and frustrated neurologists and neurosurgeons. We knew the problem, low intracranial pressure, but there was no cause and no treatment. While my family looks back upon my surgery as one of the scariest days, I look back on the years where my head hurt constantly and where no one could help me and those were far, far scarier than facing a scalpel.
The headaches improved dramatically when I got pregnant with Eli (increased blood volume and intra-abdominal pressure = increased intracranial pressure) and again with William, but when I'm not pregnant, the headaches are still an issue that I grapple with. The difference is that they don't stop my life anymore. I'm not dizzy, I'm not nauseous (most of the time). I can work and care for my kids.
On the list of things I'm thankful for, my health is very near the top, if not the first item on the list. I am incredibly fortunate to be healthy, to be able to function just like everyone else in spite of my medical history. This surgery didn't give me the immediate relief I'd hoped for, but it gave me back my life and gave me a future. It allowed me to have two beautiful boys and to be able to chase after them, lift them and play with them without pain. It allowed me to go to school and start a career that I deeply love.
This post may be a few days late, but I wanted to take the time to say that I am so very thankful for the life I have, for my incredible family who has stood by me through everything and for my future, which looks blindingly, beautifully bright.
Happy belated Thanksgiving, friends.
I have been treating a little boy in my clinic for well over a year now, in fact, I saw him just today. I'm not going to tell you his name, age or diagnosis, not just for legal reasons, but also, because for the purpose of the story, it doesn't matter. But I will tell you that I adore him. If I was allowed to have favorite patients, he would be high on my list and he has captured my heart in a special way.
A few months ago, I ordered a special piece of medical equipment for him. It took months to get it created and adjusted properly. We had to go through his pediatrician, the company that makes it, repeated appointments to fix things that weren't right and on and on. And finally, about a month ago, he got it. This is not his first piece of equipment, but it was the first that he might actually use and it is important for his wellbeing and function.
We worked hard to get him comfortable using it and made a BIG fuss over how cool it was and things were going really, really well. Last week, he and his mom went to Target to do some shopping. As they were walking through the store, a young boy sitting in the shopping cart noticed the piece of equipment and like any kid, was curious about it. And so he asked his mother why my patient had that.
And her reply was "well honey, he's different."
That one word, that one 3 syllable, 9 letter word, undid months of work. It crushed a little boy's self esteem and it set him back weeks in terms of his function.
The question in and of itself is completely appropriate. That boy in the cart had every right and reason to ask his mother, and there are a million great ways to answer that question ("why don't you ask him?" "It helps him do x, y, or z" "It makes him jump really high!" etc, etc, etc). But instead, she chose not to explain it at all, but instead to label.
Her response was possibly the worst thing that she could've chosen to reply with. It instantaneously created an otherness, one that we had all been desperately trying to avoid, and set it right in my patient's lap. It was an otherness he had not yet come to fully recognize, but is now hyperaware of. That one stupid word literally changed his life.
The problem with labeling someone as different, especially with the tone that is so often used, is that it separates people into typical and atypical. It makes the group that are somehow atypical feel like they don't belong or can't fit in. And in the case of my patient, all he wants in the world is to belong. To have a group of friends, to play in a typical fashion, to be anything but different.
And he isn't different. He's a little boy. He loves Disney movies and pirates and cars and everything that kids his age love. He skips the number 17 when he counts. He is obsessed with superheroes and will do just about anything if you can make it into a game about Spiderman. He is not "different." He may move in a way that the rest of us don't or require help with things that other kids can do alone, but he isn't different. He's bright and fun and loving and everything that you want a child to be. His sameness is so much greater than his difference, but for some reason, no one can seem to get past the things that don't fit.
I wish I could've met the mother in Target that day. Not because I want to scream or yell (though I do, a little), but because it could've been an incredible opportunity to open someone's eyes to how powerful their words are. I wish I could've shown her how important a question that was and how important her answer was. I wish I could've educated her on all the ways my patient is not different, or on all the ways that using different in that tone is a terrible thing to do. I wish I could've helped her to understand how different can be good, how different can sometimes even be better.
We must do a better job of explaining and introducing disabilities and differently abled people to our children. By making these differences a negative we do a great disservice to these children and adults who have incredible talents, amazing personalities and bright futures that we completely miss because of our preconceived expectations about them. We need to teach our children to look beyond the things that give them pause, to push through their unintentional prejudices and realize that underneath what we may see as differences are often layers of sameness.
Hell, Foot and Mouth
On Saturday morning, I heard Eli wake up, so I dragged myself out of bed, turned off the monitor and walked into his room. He stood up and immediately his face fell. His lower lip quivered and I knew something was wrong. I asked him if he was okay and he sadly said no. I asked him if he wanted to go drink some milk and he said no again. This, combined with the several times I heard him whining in his sleep were a pretty good sign that something was up.
As soon as I picked up his hot little body, I had a sinking feeling about what we were facing. When I changed his diaper later and saw little blisters on his bottom, I was even more sure.
His fever didn't respond to anything on Saturday, but disappeared overnight, and in its wake was the most miserable version I have ever seen of my child. For hours on Sunday he writhed in pain, laying on my lap, drooling, refusing food, water and just generally being the most pathetic person on the planet. I'm not normally one to rush to the pediatrician for a fever/virus, but seeing how much pain he was in was enough for me to call the doctor for an appointment, especially since we had no idea what hurt.
So we went to the pediatrician, where my gut feeling was confirmed: hand, foot and mouth disease. Which may as well be called hell on earth disease because dear God, it is truly the worst. In Eli's case, there is not a single spot on his hands or his feet, but instead he has a rash covering his entire bottom, the backs of his thighs and the backs of his calves, which does not seem to bother him at all and isn't particularly ugly, just unusual. And of course, blisters all over his face and on his soft palate and tonsils.
The pediatrician told us that this was really painful. Like, really painful. And that what we could do was aggressively medicate him. She told us to alternate Motrin and Tylenol with codeine ever 3 hours and to offer whatever food/drink he would eat, regardless of the nutritional value or lack there of. She even told us to let him watch Finding Nemo all day long since that's the only thing he wanted to do.
And so we did. Sunday night was the absolute worst. Eli went down at 7:30 and woke up at 9 hysterically crying despite being well medicated. He finally went back to bed at 11:30 and then was up at 3, 4:45 and slept on me until 6:45. I have scarcely ever felt so helpless in my life. I literally fed him unlimited ice cream at 10pm, just because it was the only thing that stopped his crying. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Thankfully, things have already started looking up. He's interested in playing again. He's eating pretty voraciously (though with lots of wincing). He's definitely still a little whinier than usual and his face is still pretty yucky, but overall, I could not be more grateful for how quickly this has turned around.
The only thing left in the air is his birthday party, which is on Saturday. The pediatrician we saw told us that he would not be contagious once his fever broke, but the CDC very strongly disagrees with that, and I'm pretty conservative with this kind of thing. It seems that once all the blisters scab over we're mostly in the clear, you know, so long as people stay out of his diaper, which seems a safe bet at his birthday party. We're not holding our breath and we'll cancel if we have to, but hopefully it won't come to that.
And hopefully, we never have to deal with this virus again. Or if we do, hopefully I can drink heavily during that time.
Things have been a little quiet around here this month and that's entirely because November kicked our collective asses. The first week of November wasn't so bad, but Eli came down with a stomach virus and puked through the 8th and the 9th. I then caught his stomach virus and was puking the 10th and feeling like I was going to die all through the 11th and to a lesser degree for about a week afterwards. This was really my first glimpse of how resilient kids are, because he was so fine that I didn't even realize he was sick, just thought he was randomly puking for 2 days.
I haven't thrown up in 20 years and have a serious fear of vomiting and you know what? It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, it was awful in the way that everyone knows vomiting is awful, but it wasn't the life altering event I expected. And I survived to write too much about it, so there's that, too. My husband was spared the virus, though he got to witness more vomiting than any one person should.
A week after the stomach virus we had our first brush with croup. It wasn't as awful as I know it is for many others, but the barky cough was jarring and scary. And a few days into that, Eli had a sudden deluge of boogers and a dramatic increase in misery. Within a few day, so did my husband and I (both boogers and misery).
This last Tuesday, we went out to dinner at around 6:30, which is a pretty normal dinner time for us, at a restaurant about a mile from home. After a few minutes of coloring, Eli started screaming, which we assumed was because we took away the phone he had been playing with at therapy a few minutes earlier, so my husband took him outside to try to calm him down. They came back in a few minutes later and the screaming started back up again. They immediately went back outside, he calmed and came back in. The third time it happened, we told them to get our food to go and I took him out. No matter what I did, he wouldn't calm down, he just laid his head on my shoulder and cried and cried. It was so sad because that's just so not him. Eli is a busy, happy guy and to see him so miserable was just awful. And so we went home and in the 5 minute drive at 7pm, Eli fell asleep. He slept through a diaper and clothing change and though he whined in his sleep a lot, he slept until 5:30 the next morning.
I probably should've realized something was up at that point, but I didn't. Until 6:30am on Wednesday, when once again he began crying and didn't stop for 90 minutes, which was when the Motrin I forced into him kicked in. All day he slept and cried on and off. He spiked a high fever in the afternoon and was a limp noodle who only wanted to be held and snuggled and did the saddest cry when he couldn't. I cannot describe how heartbreaking it was. We were able to get in to see our pediatrician that afternoon and he discovered a "raging ear infection" (his words) in Eli's left ear.
Our pediatrician is a very low key guy, rarely concerned about anything and he was seriously concerned about this ear infection. He told us that he wished he had a medical student because this was the clearest ear infection he'd ever seen. He also warned us that there was a really good change that his ear drum would rupture within the next 24 hours and that if he didn't use the right antibiotic, the infection would spread to his sinuses or the bone behind his ear (mastoid) by Saturday. He gave us strict instructions on what to look for, put him on a very high powered antibiotic and gave directions and the dosage to break the no decongestants before age 2 rule.
We are very, very lucky that after 2 doses of antibiotics, Eli was a new kid. He is still a bit whinier and sleepier than usual and has a diaper rash from hell, but you'd never know how sick he was on Wednesday. I am hoping to someday forget how sick he was on Wednesday.
My husband and I are still in the post viral cough phase and for funsies, last night, on the very last night of this blasted month, I spiked a completely random 102 degree fever with chills and aches that broke, coincidentally right around midnight on December 1st, which makes me feel very confident that this was all some November phenomenon of awful.
I have a big post about what I am thankful for tossing around in my head, but I just need a few hours to recover from November and prepare for a big trip we have this week. Mostly, I'm just really, really glad that this month is over. Last winter was a long one, but I'm holding out hope that we've seen the worst already and that the rest of it will be much, much happier and healthier.
Having our cake, and paying for it, too
Prior to getting pregnant and having Eli, I was kind of a crappy eater. I mean, I was a healthy weight and my BMI was in the "normal" range, but you'd probably have cringed at my diet for a few reasons. First, I could live on carbs alone, and be completely happy about it. But also, I am a big fan of preservatives. I even wrote a post several years ago where I bashed organic foods as a scam.
I always internally rolled my eyes at the "crunchy" moms who only fed their kids organic, hormone-free stuff. It just seemed so over the top and unnecessary. And even though I found/find the "well, we survived when I was growing up doing x, y, or z that is now unsafe" argument infuriating when it comes to just about every other part of parenting, I gave the same excuse for food. I was healthy on a diet of preservatives, why did I need to freak out about feeding my son the same stuff?
When I got pregnant, I felt a small shift in my thinking. I still ate Easy Mac by the heaping bowl full, I still overate carbohydrates, but I began to linger longer at the organic section in our grocery store. I scrubbed fruits and veggies before eating instead of casually rinsing. I started to choose meat from the organic market and read labels slightly more carefully.
After Eli was born, we were in survival mode for a while, eating whatever was in the house or delivered to us, regardless of its health benefits, but when we started him on solid foods at 5 months, I began to feel uncomfortable with our eating. The first thing we did to try to combat our discomfort with the situation is joint a CSA and get a basket of fruits and veggies every other week. Eli's first several foods came from those baskets and it made me feel a little better to be able to give him non-genetically modified, non-pesticided foods, locally grown food.
As he started to be more interested in real table foods, it got more challenging. We're very fortunate in that we live walking distance from an organic market, but the distance isn't the issue now- it's the cost. Last week I bought a few lunch items for Eli, as well as ingredients for 2 dinners (that would feed us for 4 nights) and it cost over 80 dollars. And look, my child's health is important, but that is unsustainable.
We also decided to quit the CSA basket this week, not because we don't like it, but because we're not making good use of everything and having to throw away too much produce. I found a small local produce stand that will likely be more reasonably priced than the market that I'm going to try out, but either way, it's been frustrating to balance my desire to feed my child healthy, whole foods and not spend my entire paycheck on it.
And it makes me feel more frustrated because we're fortunate, we can afford to spend extra for organic, but that's not the case for everyone. I hate that other families may want to feed their child the same way I want to feed Elijah, but are unable to do it because the cost is prohibitive. I'm frustrated that we've reached a point in society where we're comfortable with feeding animals antibiotics prophylactically, even when we know it causes antibiotic resistant bacteria to proliferate. I'm frustrated that we're comfortable spraying pesticides on foods, even when we know that some of these chemicals in large quantities can be very dangerous.
I'm frustrated that it's so complicated to feed my child safe, healthy foods.
I have no solution, not even really any good ideas, just worries and frustrations. I want to be able to feed my child well without breaking the bank. And I just can't understand why that's an unrealistic desire. I can't understand how we hope to manage all the health crises facing our country if we can't even find a way to make healthy food affordable. I'm frustrated and I think I'm not alone.
5 Years
Five years ago today, I had brain surgery.
It's funny how even after 5 years that doesn't sound any less crazy. I have done a pretty good job of hiding those memories away, the anxiety, the recovery, all of the unpleasant parts, in the very back of my mind. I rarely access them because it wasn't a particularly pleasant time. I'm a completely different person than I was 5 years ago and so I look back upon that day almost as though it happened to someone else instead of me. Yes, I have the same scar as that girl, but I am a completely different person.
Most of the emails I get from other people with Chiari Malformation always ask me the same questions. First, they ask if I had the surgery (yes). Then, they ask who my surgeon was (he's retired, sorry). Then they ask how I am today and if the surgery was worth it.
I don't have an easy answer for those last questions.
I am better today than I was 18 months ago, I am worse than I was 4.5 years ago. I would argue I'm better than I was pre-surgery in most ways. I can laugh and cough and sneeze without feeling like my head will literally explode from the pressure. My balance is pretty average these days and my left hand has pretty good dexterity and strength, though if you measure it, it's definitely not quite up to par. I don't have nystagmus anymore and I have days without headaches. But I do still have them. And a few other holdovers here and there.
Was the surgery worth it? Maybe. There are just so many unknowns. Would my Chiari have continued to progress if I hadn't had the surgery? Maybe. Would I have been able to tolerate pregnancy and deliver Elijah without a c-section? Maybe. Would I be where I am today? Maybe. I can't say for certain if it was worth it, because I don't know what the alternative outcome really looks like.
I can say that there were some benefits to the surgery. It helped confirm the career path I was on and have now completed. It has allowed me to connect with and have more compassion for my patients. It has improved my quality of life in some physical ways and has connected me to other people like me, which has further improved my quality of life in a more abstract way.
Yes, I still have headaches. Often severe ones. I am not without symptoms as I had hoped, but they do not inhibit my life like they used to. I'm working, I'm caring for my son. No one I work with knows about my medical history because they don't need to- because it doesn't have an impact in the way it once did. If it weren't for the scar, most of the time it would be as though it never happened.
But it did. And if I was faced with the situation over again, ultimately, I think I would make the same decision, but I wouldn't make it lightly this time either. Though I realize that not everyone would I agree, I like myself and my life more now than I did then. Much has changed in 5 years, and for that, I am grateful.
Overflowing Uterus
For the last month I have been keeping a secret from you. It has pretty much almost killed me and I have almost told you about twice a day since then, but I didn't. I actually kept a secret. And a pretty big one too.
You see, a month ago, this happened.
In case you don't know me well enough, you should understand that I have probably never been as shocked or excited about anything in my whole life. You guys. A baby. A BABY.
I went to my obgyn for the first time yesterday, had a wildly invasive exam and then I got to see this.
That? Is my baby.
Wow. That sentence may never not be weird to say.
At the ultrasound yesterday I was measuring at 8 weeks, which is a few days earlier than the period math led us to believe, but I'm okay with more time passing because this has been the longest month of my life. My due date is tentatively May 12, 2012, which in case you wondered is the day after I'm supposed to graduate from Graduate School. We are SUPER good at planning.
I realize that it is still early in this pregnancy and there is a fair possibility that something could go wrong, but I got to stare at that tiny little blob with it's tiny flickering heart beat (160 bpm for you detail people) and I just about died of happiness on the spot.
I had planned to wait a little while longer to tell you, but I was offered the opportunity to join the Babble Being Pregnant team and I thought that might be a good way to share what's going on with this whole baby thing without making this blog all about babies. I mean, this blog is still going to be all about babies, but it's probably good to have a secondary location to share my crazy.
So there. That's my secret. It still doesn't feel real, but I'm not gonna lie, it feels pretty freaking exciting.
A baby.
(p.s. For those of you who happen to be Facebook friends with me on my real last name account, I would really super appreciate if you could not post anything on my wall about this yet because we are not telling the whole world for a while. You guys get to hear early because you're special, don't abuse my generosity or I'll unleash my hormones on you.)
This Is Just My Life
I got the MRI/MRV results last night.
I didn't tell anyone except my husband and a friend. Not because it wasn't good news, but because it was. They were clean. Nothing showed up.
Nothing showed up.
Please don't misunderstand me, I wasn't hoping for a blood clot, I wasn't hoping for a tumor or something requiring urgent brain surgery. But I was hoping for something. Hoping for anything. Because the thing about a clean MRI is that it's not always a good thing. A clean MRI does nothing for me. It doesn't mean that I don't have unrelenting headaches. It doesn't mean that I'm suddenly sleeping more than 3 hours at a time. It doesn't change anything. If anything, it is the opposite of change.
A clean MRI means that we have no plan. It means that we are absolutely no closer to finding a way to slow down these headaches. It means that we are back at square one.
For the record, I hate square one and the fucking horse she keeps riding into my life on.
I didn't sleep much last night because I kept having dreams about my headaches. Over and over I'd dream about sitting in doctor's offices and being told that there was nothing to be done. I woke up short of breath, in a cold panic. I realize that this dream may not sound like much of a nightmare, but it is for me. It's my nightmare, my future.
All day I've wandered around in a fog. My doctor told me to call and schedule a follow up appointment, and I put in the call, but have no expectation of being called back anytime soon. (The only way I got the results was to email my doctor and she said that she hadn't gotten any messages. Yes, that does make me want to scream.) But I also just keep thinking, why even bother?
We know that there aren't any medication classes that we haven't tried. We know that we've done all the tests. There isn't really anything left to do. These headaches aren't going to kill me. They don't seem to be doing any real damage to my brain (if you let go of that whole brainstem slumping business). There's just really nothing to be done.
For the last two years I've had a headache for every moment of every day. I haven't had a day off, I haven't had a night off. There is literally not a moment where there isn't pain. I know that some of the people in my life think I'm exaggerating. They think that the pain cannot be that bad because I still go to school, because I bake, because I go on vacations. Because I refuse to give up on the life I chose.
I have learned to live with pain. It was not something I ever wanted or hoped to do. It was a necessity. It was the only way I didn't have to give up on everything I've worked for. The pain is very real and if anything, it's generally a whole lot worse than I make it out to be.
I don't know what the next step is. I don't know that there even is one. Right now things feel tired and hopeless. And in a way, I think that's easier. This cycle of hoping and hurting sometimes feels more exhausting than the pain. Two years of disappointment only intensifies the ugliness of the two years of pain.
I just keep thinking that maybe it's time we stop trying altogether. Maybe it's time to stop thinking that this is just a phase. Maybe it's time to realize that it isn't something that's going to suddenly stop.
That this is just my life.
Because I was totally out of things to worry about
I know I didn't formally update (I hid it in the comments), but my MRI/MRV got moved from when it was scheduled on Wednesday to today. According to the guy who called me, it had to be moved because there wasn't a radiologist on site to administer the contrast on Wednesday. So they moved it to today and it worked out alright because I was already going to be in the general vicinity. Frankly, as long as it was done before my insurance year started over again on Monday, I was okay with the change.
So I arrived and waited in the waiting room until it was my turn, then disrobed and gowned up to make sure I didn't die from the zipper on my shorts.
When I got into the MRI room they went ahead and put an IV in for the contrast, which isn't unheard of, but normally they just pull me out and inject the contrast in the middle of the scan without actually doing the whole IV thing. And then they hooked up the IV to this huge machine with two big fluid containers, and I my curiosity got the best of me.
Me: "What's that?
Radiologist: "The Auto Injector 2000."
Me: "Oh. Okay. How is that different from what you guys normally use?"
Radiologist: "From the Auto Injector 1000?"
Me: "Um, no. From a needle in my arm and you pushing the plunger."
Radiologist: "Oh. Well, this is an MRV so we're going to give you a lot more contrast quickly with a bolus of fluid and it needs to be timed with the scans."
Me: "Oh. That sounds unpleasant."
Radiologist: "…"
So that's what happened. They sucked me into the tube and about 20 minutes in I got a warning that the first contrast injection was about to go in. It wasn't too bad, definitely not worse than usual. A little cool going in my arm and I got the nasty gadolinium taste, but totally tolerable. When that scan ended, they did nothing for a while. Which was disconcerting.
After a 5ish minute break, they did a few more short scans, then they informed me they'd be injecting more contrast. And let me just say, holy crap. This was like a metric fuckton of contrast. I wanted to rip the IV out because it hurt A LOT going in. It wasn't just cold, it was cold and stinging and really freaking unpleasant. And besides that, I not only got the nasty taste in my mouth, but also the all over flushing, feeling like I peed my pants and my tongue tingled for a solid minute. It took everything in my power not to scream to be pulled out because I was convinced I was going to die of something gadolinium related, but I didn't. I knew that they needed those scans right then to time it with the contrast, so I managed.
Now I need to back up for a minute and clarify something- the reason they decided to do the MRV in addition to a standard MRI was in large part to make sure that I hadn't developed any clots in the veins in my brain which can happen when you have low pressure for an extended period of time. Clearly clots are not something to be messed around with and until I got ready for the scan, I really wasn't all that worried.
So in light of that, you can imagine my absolute freak out when the radiologist came to let me out of the tube and goes, "So, uh, have they started you on anticoagulants?"
I was told my doctor would get the results in 2 days, so I'll start calling Monday, but in the meantime I totally plan to spend my time freaking the hell out about potential clots in my brain. Because I was totally out of things to worry about. Whew, that was close. I almost got a mental break on my summer vacation.
The (Barely Averted) Radiology Meltdown
It's been more than 4 weeks since I saw my new neurologist and in that time I've been taking the (stupid) Vitamin A and waiting for a call to schedule the MRI/MRV that my neurologist ordered. Those are the only two things on our treatment plan and I have been totally unable to make progress on one of them. I really like my doctor, but this whole process has reminded me of how much I dislike her office.
When I left my appointment that day, they told me I'd get a call within a week to schedule the MRI/MRV. They were just going to get my insurance authorization. So I waited a week. And nothing. I gave them a few extra days and then I started calling.
Each day I called and listened to the whole stupid choose your options menu, I was bounced around to about 8 different desks where I left messages with my name, date of birth, patient ID number, phone number and the entire story of how I just want to schedule this damn test. In all, I left more than 10 messages, and it wasn't until Friday that someone finally called me back to tell me I could just call and schedule it, my insurance was good to go.
So I called, and the earliest they could get me in on Monday, August 15th, in the evening, and not even in the main radiology center, but at a satellite center. Whatever, I took it. I had to. It was all set and I was willing to wait.
Then I got a phone call today. Let me just tell you that when your doctor's office calls and says they have "bad news" they are not exaggerating.
So, funny story. My insurance year ends on August 14th. So on August 15th it's like a blank slate. I have no authorization to see any medical professionals besides my primary care physician (COUGH*the student health center*COUGH) and in order to get the MRI/MRV I would need to first go to my PCP and get a referral to see my neurologist. Then I'd have to wait to get in to see her. Then I'd have to have her write new orders for the MRI/MRV. Then I'd have to wait for them to get insurance approval and wait to get it scheduled. And sometime next year, I'd get an effing scan.
Oh, and as icing on this crap cake, my deductible would reset so it would cost me in the neighborhood of 2000 bucks to get it all done. Which, we totally have laying around.
I cannot even begin to tell you how very angry I was. So I called the radiology center and I groveled. I explained that it needed to be done soon because it was ordered a month ago, because I was about to start a new job that I couldn't get time off of (job, clinical, same difference) and oh, I also didn't have all kinds of extra money laying around.
He put me on hold for half a lifetime, then came back and said he had a few options. But only if I was willing to drive to Manhattan Beach, which frankly, at that point he'd have said I needed to drive to Arizona (which is not that much farther away from me than Manhattan Beach), I'd have said yes and kissed his feet in gratitude.
So I am getting these scans done tomorrow, finally, in Manhattan Beach, in the early evening. My day will be spent in my car, fighting traffic, but fighting traffic is better than scheduling 2 unnecessary doctor's appointments and spending money that we don't have any day.
I'm not sure what to hope for with these scans, so I'm just going to hope that in some way, they points us in the right direction. Whatever direction that might be.

A visitor to the Oak Lawn fest looks into a mirror in the fun house. | Alison Nicol~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
The annual Fall Fun Fest took place in the parking lot and street outside The Children's Museum in Oak Lawn on Sept. 29.
Museum fundraising director Bernadette Shanahan-Haas was pleased with the turnout.
"In the four years that I have been with the museum, this is the first year that the weather has been so nice and sunny," she said. "So I'm really pleased."
There were about 30 vendors and sponsors, and the museum ordered 500 small pumpkins from Konow Farms in Homer Glen, which were handed out free to children by Tyler Woodworth and Andy Koning, who manned a small farmstand that included mums for sale.
Entertainment was provided throughout the day by the Priscilla School of Dance from Lockport. The dancers, ages 7 to 15, performed routines to music and attracted quite a crowd. Entertainment also was provided by the Joon Lee Taekwondo School of Oak Lawn. The tae kwon do students, some as young as 3, performed board-breaking kicks and chops for a crowd.
Mingling with the festgoers were young people dressed as various storybook characters such as Snow White and Prince Charming, who interacted with the children.
A few of the more popular attractions included a huge bounce house with a slide, a Pace bus on which children were allowed to sit in the driver's seat and blow the horn, and emergency vehicles from the Oak Lawn fire and police departments.
One young family attending the fest — Keith and Colleen Reynolds and their boys, Quinn, 4, and Dyllon, 1 — have been museum members for almost four years.
"The boys just love the emergency vehicles," Colleen Reynolds said. "They're a big hit with them, and they can also go into the museum and play in there. We love it."
Festgoer Cheryl O'Donnell attended with her daughter Abby, 6, who was a runner in the Kids Dash, the first event of the day at 10 a.m.
Asked what her favorite part of the day was, Abby said, "I like to play."
Hot dogs and popcorn were sold along with cupcakes from Simply Sweet. Proprietors Carmen Bonilla and Adrianna Aronda said this was their first year at the fest, and they are planning an expansion of their business on Oct. 16, with a grand opening of a custom cake and cookie shop, which will offer cake-decorating classes.
Admission to the fest was free.

How I did it: I'd like to say I studied on my own a lot but i'm afraid that isn't true :') I did go to extra lessons, study with friends, not skip school (much, anyway) and thankfully I had some great teachers who really cared about how well we did. Ended up with: A* EnglishA* English LiteratureA* ScienceA* Science (Additional)A* HistoryA* Religious StudiesA GeographyB MathsB/B/B Triple Award ICT:D Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'm not entirely sure if i'm honest. Slowly but surely, through a combination of my amazing boyfriend, constructive friends who love me, and my life getting much better in general. Read how I did it…
How I did it: not sure how long it took, but im afraid i took the easy and impersonal route of reading it online. i wouldnt dream of spoiling it but its a v.good manga. now to watch the anime... which im sure will be infinetley harder no doubt =] Read how I did it…

23) I like (all) my ear piercings, especially my baby 5th ones :D
24) I like my tongue piercing
25) I like my belly-button piercing
26) I like that I can look very different from day to day with little effort (I can look really girly one day and really tom-boy-ish the next)
27)I like my neck, even if it is a giraffe-ish sometimes
28)I like my bone structure
29)I like the way I look in (some) dresses
30)I apparently give good hugs _
31)I make good tea and coffee haha
I have a fair few piercings already and I decided I wanted to do this a few days ago. I used to really hate my nose a few years ago, but I don't mind it so much now, so I decided getting it pierced would be a nice way to mark that and make it even nicer :)

New Dagenham signing Mark Cousins is ready for the challenge ahead as he settles into his new club.
The goalkeeper is the second stopper to join the club this summer, as Liam O'Brien also signed for the Daggers. Cousins told Dagenham's official website: "I've come here to be first team goalkeeper; I think I'm good enough. You've got to have that confidence in the game and I want to."Dagenham are only Cousins' second club, after a nine-year stay at Colchester and he is ready for a new adventure. He said: "I'm really pleased, it's a fresh start for me, I've been at Colchester a while. I'm looking forward to the challenge."He made 70 appearances for the U's and he insists the time was right to leave the Weston Homes Community Stadium."It was difficult to leave the people at Colchester but from a footballing point of view it was an easy decision," he added. "I felt I'd been there a long time and wanted a new challenge and new surroundings."

Big food and local/global grabbing
By Greg Newsom
Special to the Michigan Citizen
This is the third in a series of columns on the 14th Environmental Justice principle: Environmental Justice opposes the destructive operations of multi-national corporations.
Environmental Justice principle 14 brings our focus to the practice of corporations with a global reach. My co-columnists Lottie Spady and Victoria Goff cited a few of the massive multi-national corporations that hold great influence and power not only in their industries, but in the governments they work in. The same mind-blowing numbers hold true when it comes to the global food system.
The major players, mostly family or small executive board run corporations like Cargill, The Coca Cola Company, General Mills, Kraft Foods, McDonald's, Monsanto, Nestle, Pepsi Co., dominate the global marketplace and, through lobbying and dubiously obtained seats on regulatory boards, influence public policy and the very design of the marketplace itself.
The practices of these multinational corporations are dubious at best, especially when it comes to agriculture and food production efforts in so-called developing nations.
In motions too disturbingly close in appearance to the practices of colonial plantations, the success and expansion of these multinational corporations is dependent upon land grabbing, the displacement of people, inhumane labor conditions and slavery.
Above and beyond these atrocities, what I find particularly disturbing is these corporations, often working in conjunction with foundations and operating within U.N. guidelines they helped to forge, justify these practices around the call of world hunger and scarcity of food amid a growing global population.
Multinationals espouse an urgent need for food, particularly the oil-rich biochemically enhanced, so-called "green revolution" variety that introduced pesticides and antibacterials into our food supply in the 1950s, to justify the parceling and monetizing of land. A great amount of the land that has "opened-up" by these practices has been, even within modern political boundaries, held for centuries by indigenous people. It just seems soul-killing to cite a need to feed people with one hand, while the other is using agricultural practices that are destructive to the land, plants, animals and people.
I posit that it is easy to spot and condemn these practices when they are being played out on the global stage. We have the benefit of distance, the ability to disconnect and move into the role of observer rather than being a co-implicated participant. What begins to disturb me from this vantage point is a great many of the practices I see being utilized on the global scene appear to be mirrored or at least resemble practices that are being attempted in Detroit's political and economic landscapes.
As the walls for Whole Foods' new store go up and Hantz Farms continues their attempt to answer "God's call" to save Detroit, we're also, like other urban geographies around the world, experiencing a push for privatization of public assets and education, an austerity-justified dismissal of democracy and representation and cuts in services and "safety nets" not only to balance budgets, but also to turn profits.
These localized expressions of corporate dominance and influence are not just cultural reflections but they also directly support the systems that keep these global players afloat.
Gregg Newsom serves as the communications coordinator for the Detroit Food Justice Task Force (detroitfoodjustice.com), People's Kitchen Detroit (peopleskitchendetroit.org) and other grassroots organizations.

From lightless depths to the dizziest heights, the Cure have always traded in extremes. Albums careen from genre to genre, capturing a wider, stranger range of emotions than most other bands could dream of. Starting with a nervous post-punk twitch that led to the existential freeze of their pioneering goth trilogy, the band would flit from one style to another, reinventing itself along the way, dabbling with dense, heady psychedelia and going for broke with glistening, giddy jangle-pop — and a million shades of light in between. Robert Smith — with his big, overwhelming, infectious emotions — has proven himself a brilliant songsmith in just about every sense that counts: At their peak, the Cure sold millions of records, raked in hits, and steadily built a devoted following around the world. The glory years may be a glimmer in the rearview, but the Cure still release solid new material every few years, and hey, they can still fill a stadium.
Fortunately for us, the Cure don't really make bad albums, not by normal standards. At their worst, they're merely strange — interesting diversions rather than life-changing experiences. At their best, they're fucking brilliant. It's hard to picture a band more evocative of unique textures and emotions than the Cure; the songs practically exist outside of time. There's an intoxicating, tangible strangeness at work — the atmosphere sets you up for the hooks, which open the door for the lyrics to work their way inside your head. Listening, you're pulled into a glimmering, twilit dreamscape: someplace imaginary, but almost real; the kind of place you've always known but never seen. The songs feel so specific and personal it's hard to believe they work on such a universal level, but therein lies the magic.
Since releasing Wish in 1992, the Cure have kept to a steady schedule, putting out a new record every four years without fail. The last record came out in 2008 … and here we are in 2012. Sadly, there's no definitive word about a projected release date for the 14th Cure record, reported to be the second half of 4:13 Dream. In the meantime, let's pull up the carpet and see what shakes out as we look back through the catalog of one of the most brilliant bands of all time. These are the albums of the Cure, from worst to best. Start the Countdown here; start your case for Wild Mood Swings in the comments.

Wild Mood Swings is the worst sounding Cure album.. it's so tinny and trebly.. it hurts my ears.
well saw them in Paris for a 3hours show for the disintegration tour in 1989…(man, i was 16 !), but i don't agree, the perfect trilogy : Pornography/faith/ 17″. The top and Kiss me (3x)…are not pretty well for my tatse ranked but hey…not bad anyway…
I'd just swap Bloodflowers and Faith's positions and then say this is a really great list. My favorite Stereogum album ranking list I think. And although it's been said a million times before, Disintegration really is the best album ever.
I'm not sure how many of you would agree, but Bloodflowers is actually one of my favorites. I would have put it higher, but I don't know which of the albums above it I would knock down.
i'd put wish at the top of mine because "open"
best cure song ever
open IS the best cure song ever, but Disintegration is still the best album of all time :-)
Come on, S/T isn't that bad. "Lost", "Labyrinth" and "End of the World" are great songs. Some classic Cure there.

… but what about Mixed Up?
The only misstep for me is putting the Three Imaginary Boys above Seventeen Seconds.
i have to admit i have a huge soft spot for the self titled album, because it came out when i was in high school and just discovering the cure for the first time.

So long as Disintegration is at the top I don't really think the rest of the list matters all that much.
You're a fool.

Uhh, no, I'm not. But clearly you are. Otherwise you would have had something to say that was at least a tiny bit interesting or intelligent.
It's my opinion. And I'm quite certain that my opinion didn't single you out, call you names or insult you. Please, feel free to disagree, but name calling will get you nowhere.
I'm sure there's a counselor in your area that can help you with your socialization skills.
And I stand by MY OPINION. There are very few albums, ever, by ANYONE that have stood the test of time and sound as good played as loud as possible as Disintegration.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Living by those words I ought to be Down Vote Man! in no time.
Wow, so fucking sensitive. Lame and a fool. Fantastic.
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see
You meant exactly what you said – it was aggressive and insulting. Backtracking now just makes you look more silly. Lecturing me on the points I made to you first makes you look something else entirely. I didn't call you names. You called me names. Period. End of story. The only bullying came from you. And the fact that you lack reading comprehension to such a degree that you would a) not be able to understand what was a very clear comment, b) try to make fun of me for writing too much speaks VOLUMES about your as a person. Yes, please do ignore me (even though I know you won't).
I don't understand why people don't dig 4:13 Dream. That's a great album.
Certainly not their best, but definitely mid-range, i'd say.

My favorite is Disintegration, but the only one I own is Wish. In other words I'm the worst Cure fan ever.

My theory is that people don't like Wild Mood Swings because the cover is yellow and maybe because of some of the 'tropical' sounds on the album. I think it's held up pretty well 16 years later. And the self titled 2004 record has grown on me a lot over the years. Really they haven't made an out-and-out terrible album once in their career.
Solid list, I would probably swap the placements of Bloodflowers, but I agree with pretty much everything else.

The Manitoba Orienteering Association is a non-profit organization with the purpose of promoting and supporting orienteering in Manitoba. It is sponsored by Sport Manitoba and recognized by the Canadian Orienteering Federation as the authorized governing body of orienteering in Manitoba.
Orienteering involves using a map and compass to find a series of checkpoints. An orange and white marker (called a "control") is located at each checkpoint, along with a card-punching device or an electronic timing unit. At most events, the objective is to visit all of the controls, in the specified order, in the fastest time.
Orienteering is a great sport because:
It is easy to learn and requires no special equipment to get started.
It can be enjoyed as a walk in the outdoors or as a competitive sport.
Courses of varying length and difficulty are offered so that anyone can compete, regardless of age or experience. This makes it a good sport for families.
For serious competitors, the sport is challenging both physically and mentally. Elite competitors have to run quickly while navigating through complex terrain.

Ready, Fire, Aim: ExecuSpeak Dictionary
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What? Isn't it ready, aim, and then fire?
Not in business. The life and death issue in building a business is not about missing the target; it is about not moving forward at all.
Business plans are an essential element to every new business or product. Yet too many business plans never get off the ground because the plan is outlined, drafted, written, rewritten, evaluated, rewritten, re-evaluated, presented, re-evaluated, rewritten, reconsidered, revised, proofed, revised...The picture is clear.
Think about it this way...the output of any initiative will not be perfect. No matter how much time and effort is put into getting everything together there will be room for improvement. That's why every training program has an evaluation form at the end. That's why new products and established products continue to seek feedback from customers and users. That's why there are beta tests and market tests. There is a time to stop planning and (ohhhhh.... wait for it) Just Do It. Ready? Not really. Fire!Yes. Now aim for a better version. Experience is the basis for learning. That's not just a platitude. Business plans, market plans, new initiatives, new products will all be flawed. And the special talent of the entrepreneur is this: it's okay if it's not perfect, it's more important to move forward than not move at all. Sometimes the fastest way to uncover the flaw is by moving forward and evaluating the results. The essential thought process has more to do with assessing actual risk as compared to the risk of embarrassment. What is the actual risk? What is the worst-case scenario? If the worst case scenario is less money than the market research effort then clearly "Ready? Fire!" is the way to go. Market research is essential but sometimes it's a risk mitigation technique. Instead of alienating 1000 customers a little research might be in order. But if there are no customers (new business, start-up business, new product, new service) and no funding AND there are no lives at risk, then the best (BEST) market research is simply putting the product or service into the marketplace to get their reaction. Of course, it's essential to get feedback so that the next iteration will be an improvement. That's why aim comes last. Ready? Fire! Aim. Repeat.

Kindergarten Registration
(Home of the Mountain Lions)
Is my child ready for Kindergarten?
Welcome to Kindergarten!
Registration Form ~ Please fill out completely.
Student Health & Emergency Card ~ Please list someone OTHER than yourself in case of an emergency. We'll always try to contact you first. Phone numbers and current information is vital when an emergency arises!
Proof of Residency ~ Please fill out completely, and select ONE of the items indicating your address. We must have a photocopy of the item you indicate as your proof of residency. EVERYONE must complete and provide proof of residency each school year.
Home Language Form ~ Please fill out completely.
Email Request Form ~ Please fill out completely.
Your child must turn five years of age on or before August 31, 2014 to be eligible for Kindergarten for the 2014/15 school year.
It will take approximately 30 minutes to complete the necessary registration paperwork, unless you bring the filled out paperwork with you. No teacher meetings or school tours will be held at this time.
Please be sure to bring your child's:
Original birth certificate
Immunization records
Proof of residence (e.g. electric bill, phone bill, mortgage papers, rental agreement) with you.
Special Education IEP paperwork
SPECIAL NOTE: If you know of a friend or neighbor that has a child ready to attend Mesa Verde PLEASE share this information with them.
This is to inform you of the status of full day kindergarten in Amphitheater for the 2013-2014 school year. As I am sure you are aware, the Legislature has imposed unprecedented budget cuts for K-12 education in Arizona. As a consequence, our Governing Board was required to make significant budget reductions for next year. One of the cuts made was funding for full day kindergarten in the District. The total tuition cost for the full day kindergarten will be $1300, payable as a $400 registration fee and a required $450 payment prior to the beginning of each semester, totalling $1300 for the year. The tuition total is a required Non-Refundable Advance Payment. We feel that this is the lowest possible tuition fee we can charge for the 2013-2014 school year. I trust you understand that this non-refundable advance payment is required to ensure we can pay for teacher salaries as well as supplies for our students.
We are planning to have at least one full day tuition class available at each one of our elementary schools. As a result, it will be very important that families that are interested in the full day program register for the program at their elementary schools as soon as possible.
I know this is a very difficult time for many and there may be families who are not able to afford this tuition amount for full day kindergarten. A portion of the tuition payment can be claimed as an Arizona Tax Credit. We hope that the tax credit possibility will help many families better afford full day kindergarten for their children. Please speak with Michelle (696-6095) if you have any questions about taking advantage of the tax credit.
All Day Kindergarten
- $400 registration fee (Due no later than May 16, 2014)
- $450 1st Semester (Due no later than August 15, 2014)
- $450 2nd Semester (Due no later than January 9, 2015)
***All payments are non-refundable.***
- $100.00 Late Fee if deadline is not met for Semester 1 or 2.
- No proration for late registrations.

This is really just a basic white blowout which comes with a card you have to put on yourself. They're cute but don't blow out as easy as I would have liked, since they were to be used by little ones who don't have as much blowing power. I even had trouble at first!

GMO's Cautious Founder Finds Some Stocks to buy
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jeremy Grantham, founder of money manager GMO, gained a wide following after he made a series of on-target market calls.
In the late 1990s, he protected clients by urging them to stay away from high-priced stocks. Then, in 2007, he again warned about stocks being overpriced. The cautious stance enabled GMO's mutual funds to outperform peers during the financial crisis.
These days Grantham is still pessimistic about the outlook for most U.S. stocks, but he has a positive view on some sectors. Speaking at the recent Morningstar Investment Conference in Chicago, he said European stocks look cheap. Investors should also get decent returns from the emerging markets and high-quality stocks in the U.S.
Most of Grantham's mutual funds are aimed at institutions. But retail investors who want to follow his advice can try Wells Fargo Advantage Asset Allocation (EAAFX), which is managed by GMO. The Wells Fargo fund invests in GMO's institutional funds. The portfolio manager varies the mix as GMO's outlook changes. During the past five years, the Wells Fargo fund has returned 1.6% annually, compared to a loss of 0.4% for the Standard & Poor's 500.The Wells Fargo fund's biggest holding is GMO Quality VI (GQLOX), which focuses on undervalued stocks with high returns on equity. Companies in the portfolio include such reliable performers as Microsoft (MSFT), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Chevron (CVX). The Wells Fargo fund also has a sizable stake in GMO International Core Equity VI (GCEFX), which has 40% of its assets in European stocks such as French oil producer Total (TOT) and British drug giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). To arrive at his market calls, Grantham looks at valuations and earnings prospects. He assumes that sectors with below-average prices will revert back to their normal ranges. In the latest forecast, GMO projects that emerging markets stocks will return 6.7% annually above inflation during the next seven years. International large caps will return 6.1%. Grantham is wary of small-cap U.S. stocks and government bonds, which should not keep pace with inflation. If you are inclined to dismiss the forecasts, consider GMO's predictions that appeared at the end of 2001. At the time, emerging market stocks had suffered through years of disastrous returns, and few investors were clamoring to try funds specializing in Asia and Latin America.
