Still on track! I actually wore my size 6 jeans the other day!!!! WoW!!!! now is time to stay focused on maintaining. This is where I usually flounder :( . I have to realize this is how I will always eat. I need to keep the right foods in the house every week. I usually begin to forget to get the healthy options in the fridge and then hunger hits. I have to remember that my dr. Prescribed this way of filling my body and like other dr. orders I need to take my medicine and keep refilling it with healthy foods every day. I started running again and feel good about that. I made a pact with a friend that we would run the Friehofers Run for Women in June so I have a new goal! :) So I'll keep blogging. I've never consistently done this before so maybe this will help with maintenance.
well i'm off sugar. its working really well so. i went to the dr. on dec. 22nd and told him i've been working out 3 to 5 days a week since may and still at my heighest weight ever. he said turning 40 is changing things and i have to stay away from white stuff and sugar. forever!!!! it has worked and i feel really great. i worry cuz this is when i think i can eat what i want cuz i look so much better. but i've never had a dr. tell me this is it. no other options. so i pray with the help of spark i can maintain this healthy weight perminently.
bad bad bad day!!!!! i have been horrible lately!!!! i'm trying to get my parents house ready to sell and my mom is being horrible!! i keep eating to make myself feel better. i know it will make me more miserable later when my clothes don't fit but immediate gratification i s all i want right now. i need to take care of me!!!! my husband was so happy i lost all that weight and i can already tell he knows i've put some back on. it makes me so sad that i am disappointing him. also to add to my stress i've agreed to do some babysitting for a 3 month old next month. i'm very nervous about that. i haven't babysat in9 years and i'm very nervous. well. wish me luck for tomorrow. i have to say i did do okay for breakfast luna bar, lunch salad, dinner salad, then i ate 3 pieces of garlic bread and 3 ice cream sandwiches.
i've hit a dry spot. i think i've actually gained a pound. i feel pretty sad. i need to stay focused though. joe has today off so maybe that will help me. wish me luck!!
i got on the scale this morning and weigh 126!!!! this is a scary time for me because now i feel i can eat alot because i have accomplished something. this is common for me to do this. i really need this site today!!! i hope it does the job!!!!

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Christians of the first centuries said, "The world was created for the sake of the Church." God created the world for the sake of communion with his divine life, a communion brought about by the "convocation" of men in Christ, and this "convocation" is the Church. The Church is the goal of all things, and God permitted such painful upheavals as the angels' fall and man's sin only as occasions and means for displaying all the power of his arm and the whole measure of the love he wanted to give the world: Just as God's will is creation and is called "the world," so his intention is the salvation of men, and it is called "the Church." (CCC 760)

Published in Living Faith
Keywords: Pope Benedict XVI, France ad limina, the Catholic Church, Church, the fullness of truth, deposit of faith, the importance of the Church, truth about the human person, human nature, nature of person, F. K. Bartels
VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) -- At the end of the Episcopal Conference of Frances' ad limina (Latin for "at the threshold") visit, Pope Benedict XVI spoke of the crucial importance of the New Evangelization. The Pope observed that "the Good News we must announce to mankind in all times and in all languages and cultures, may be summarized in these words: God, creator of mankind, in His son Jesus, has shown us His love for humanity. 'God is love' and pursues the happiness of His creation, of all His children.
"The pastoral constitution Gaudium et Spes asks key questions on human existence," continued the Pope, "the meaning of life and death, evil, disease and suffering, all present in our world. It recalls that, in His paternal goodness, God brings answers to all these questions and that Christ founded His Church in order to bring those answers to all mankind. This is the reason why one of the gravest problems of our time is the ignorance of religion on the part of many men and women, also among the Catholic faithful."
While Pope Benedict was speaking directly to the bishops of France, his perennial words do not apply only to Europe but are of universal value for the whole world. They are certainly relevant to the grave situation in the U.S. in which many millions of Christians, Catholic and otherwise, are lacking in catechesis, and therefore remain ignorant of religion and of an understanding of the nature and purpose of holy mother Church. Such a situation has serious consequences for individuals and society collectively.
The Church Is Necessary
In the first place, we need to understand the "why" of the Church. That is, why did Christ found the Church? He certainly did not found the Church on a whim, as a merely pleasant addition to an otherwise humdrum and meager life, as some trivial but perhaps entertaining thing of personal preference in which we might want to consider taking part in order to boost social morale. On the contrary, the Church is necessary. What God has done and continues to do is of supreme importance.
The fact that Christ founded the Church on St. Peter, gave him the keys to the kingdom and the power to bind and loose (see Mt. 16:18-20), and promised to be with his Church "always, to the close of the age" (Mt. 28:20), ought to get our attention. That Jesus gave authority to his Church should very quickly erase any tendency one might have toward religious indifferentism (see Mt. 18:15 ff.).
In light of the fact that Christ gave authority to his Church and promised to be with her always, it becomes obvious that there is extant an authoritative, definite and specific Church, given by God the power to rule on faith and morals. The Church, then, cannot be reduced to the abstract. To say she consists of only and nothing more than a group of people who call themselves Christian, lacking a visible authoritative body (which we refer to as the Magisterium) and consequently living an existence of doctrinal limbo of sorts, is to deny the express teaching of Sacred Scripture.
Christians are to live as one body in one Spirit, one in Faith as children of the Church. It was Jesus Christ who prayed that "those who believe" in him through the teaching of the apostles "may all be one" (Jn 17:20-21). Also, St. Paul wrote in his letter to the Ephesians, "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all" (4:4-6).
Further, at the Last Supper Christ instituted the divine liturgy and the Eucharist, the center and summit of the Church's life, when he took the bread into his hands, blessed it and broke it, gave it to his apostles and said, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me" (Lk 22:19). While people heavily influenced by the individualism of the age are often repulsed by the word "command," it is nevertheless important to note that there is no prepositional phrase in Luke 22:19. Christ did not say, "Provided you approve, do this in remembrance of me." "Do this . . ." is a phrase which expresses an obligation, a command.
God's word is not a passive reality, something which can be rejected or ignored without consequence. Everyone is called to enter into the womb of the Church, live out a sacramental life through the divine liturgy, and attain to spiritual perfection and holiness as children of the Church. God calls us not to the mediocre but to the great, the sublime, the unfathomable richness and beauty of life as members of the divine family.
Nevertheless, there is always the question, do I (we/society) need the Church? In contemporary Christendom, the notion that we need nothing but to know Jesus, read the Bible (sola scriptura; i.e., Scripture as the sole rule of faith) and pray is common. While the necessity of the Church is evident in what has been written above, it is also helpful to look at the Church from the human perspective. That is, what does the Church have to do with humanity and with living the life of a human being?
We Understand What It Means To Live As A Human Person Through The Church
As our Holy Father stated, our Lord and Savior founded the Church in order to, among other things, bring answers "to all mankind." Those answers include the truth about the human person, of which, given the effects of Original Sin and the fall of mankind, we are in dire need. Due to the sin of grave disobedience committed by our first parents (please read CCC articles 385-412), human nature is wounded; i.e., we suffer from concupiscence (the tendency to sin), the human intellect is darkened, the will is weakened (akrasia), and we are deprived of sanctifying grace (sanctifying grace is infused into the soul by God via Baptism and the other sacraments of the Church; it is the gift of participation in God's own supernatural life). That means, humanity is in a position of urgent need of truth, fortitude, forgiveness, grace and salvation. God offers through the Church not only the answers to the many questions we have about ourselves, but also the definitive solutions to our most pressing needs.
Through the Church of Jesus Christ, we learn of our Savior and the salvation he offers to all; we hear the words of truth and receive the sacraments of life; and we come to know and understand our human story. To listen to the Church is, then, to listen to what God has said about the reality of the human person and the reality in which humanity lives. The full truth of the human person, our origin, purpose, desires and goals, how we are to live in right moral relationship to the Creator, our destiny and our end, what it means to be an authentic disciple of Jesus Christ -- all of these and more -- is revealed in their full light through the Catholic Church.
Humankind, then, cannot know the full truth about God or about itself as God intended in isolation of the teaching of the Church. The dictum Amor veritatis est amor Ecclesiae, "love of truth is love of the Church," expresses the fact that we come to know the truth about ourselves, and the truth about Christ, which sets us free, through the Church. To willfully ignore or reject the teaching of the Church, is to be ignorant of the deposit of faith given by Christ to the apostles under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which in turn is passed on to the Church by apostolic succession. Such a situation places one in ignorance of the "content of faith," as Pope Benedict phrased it in speaking to the bishops of France:
"One of the most formidable obstacles to our pastoral mission is ignorance of the content of faith. Indeed, this is a dual form of ignorance: the ignorance of Jesus Christ as a person and ignorance of the sublime nature of His teachings, of their universal and permanent value in the search for the meaning of life and happiness" (Benedict qtd. from Vatican Information Service).
Every single human person desires happiness. Ultimately, that is what being Catholic is about: it is about living the sacramental life of spiritual joy in the womb of the Church as a member of the divine family. In such a sublime life, we enter into the heaven of "now but not yet" as we are swept up into the very life of the Holy Trinity. There, in the arms of God, we are fitted with the best robe; a ring is placed on our hand and shoes on our feet (Lk 15:22). With great delight we sit in the shadow of the Beloved and taste his sweet fruit, for he has brought us into the banqueting house and covered us with his divine banner of gracious love (cf. Song of Solomon 2:3-4), that we may become one with his Body and share everlasting life with him.

Manchester VA Medical Center to hold open house Feb. 15
Veterans who served in Vietnam between Jan. 9, 1962 through May 7, 1975 or veterans who served in the Southwest Asia theater between Aug. 2, 1990 through Nov. 11, 1998 are to be enrolled in VA services at the highest priority group for which you may be eligible.
For Vietnam veterans, there is a presumed Agent Orange exposure and for Persian Gulf War veterans, there is a presumed environmental contaminant exposure.
Veterans who served in Vietnam or the Blue Waters area of operations during the Vietnam War and who served in the Persian Gulf War cannot be rejected for enrollment and are entitled to be seen and treated at any VA Medical Center free of charge for all their needs under their Uniform Benefit Package.
In some instances, there may be a small prescription copayment for conditions not related to Agent Orange exposure, environmental contaminants exposure or a service related injury.
In addition, combat veterans (OEF/OIF/OND) who were discharged or released from active service on or after Jan. 28, 2003, are eligible to enroll in the VA health care system for five years from the date of discharge or release.
Veterans who qualify under this special eligibility are not subject to copays for conditions potentially related to their combat service.
However, unless otherwise exempted, combat veterans must either disclose their prior year gross household income or decline to provide their financial information and agree to make applicable copays for care or services VA determines are clearly unrelated to their military service.
During the open house, veterans who meet the above criteria will receive assistance with enrollment for VA Healthcare.
Free blood pressure screenings will be offered and general health and wellness information will be available.
Women veterans are encouraged to attend to find out what services the Manchester VA Medical Center currently provides.
Also, assistance will be provided to help you register for My HealtheVet, a web-based program to help manage the care you will receive at the VA.
Please bring your DD214 along with a government ID.
If you have any questions, contact Judy DeCarteret 624-4366, extension 2291.

High winds damage Saprito Fishing Pier
Date: December 22, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The weekend cold front that blew in with high winds and high surf damaged the Tony Saprito Fishing Pier on the east side of the Ringling Bridge.
The pier was built with special wooden panels that are designed to pop out during high surf. That design limits damage to the underlying concrete deck.
During the weekend, those panels popped out. Once they are replaced, the pier will reopen. Officials could not confirm a timeframe for those repairs.

[Newest]Awesome awesome awesome just pure awesome should win
3S.I.M.P. (Squirrels In My Pants)
I know all the words, and you would ALL vote for this if you heard the extended version! It's so random, just the lyrics make NO sense whatsoever, and it's a great rap as well. I'm even sad enough to know the guys who rap it are called 2 Guys In the Parque

It's one of the funnier songs. I think it's one of the few that made an episode better.

4City of Love
Isabellas voice is so cute! Can Phineas just kiss her already? I'm a huge Phineas and Ferb fan!
I just love Isabella's voice. It's so cute just like her face. I'm so hoping that they will be a cute couple ever. They're so cute together. Oh Phineas go get Isabella. Love Phineas and Ferb
It is beautiful and I like it because Isabella sings it and it is nice because me and my sister sing it together.

The Contenders
11Summer (Where Do We Begin?)
It's just one of the most upbeat songs throughout the series, showing how much the brothers love summer, with that signature pnf humor inserted in the middle too. Plus, who doesn't love it when ferb does his super deep voice thing?
I think this song, along with Come Home Perry and Summer Belongs To You are among the three best songs in this series. Really underrated if you ask me, I was shocked this song was only 5th in Cliptastic Countdown 2
Great song. Phineas's voice is just plain adorable, and seriously, who can turn down Ferb doing the deep voice thing?
12Evil Love
I love this song I was laughing and it was in my mind all night long after! I like how the chick leaves him right after laugh out loud
This song is so underrated. It is such a well written song
I love evil love
13There's a Platypus Controlling Me
This is the best rap song of phineas and ferb
Okay. Can we just replace Lil Wayne with Doofenshmirtz? Because this song is awesome and I hate rap
I love this song its cool
14I'm Me
This song explains why I love Vanessa!
15Not So Bad a Dad After All
Wow that song is reslly good you no if you came over to my house in england then you'll see that I can sing like her

Too bad this got deleted in the movie

Slash is one of the greatest guitarists of all time!
This should be in the top tens list!
This should be in the top tens list!
It really inspired me to sing in front of 200 people at my school!
19Backyard Beach
Ferb sung it, enough reasons to be best song?
20Everything's Better With Perry
I like this song because I like the way they put a song of perry saying how much they love them and at the ending Ferb sang awesome
Its a cute song about with nice metaphors and similes
I love this song it's so cute
21Don't Even Blink
Also known as "Watchin' and Waitin'"
I LOVE THIS SONG! I love the melody and rhythm :) it makes me wanna dance
Great songs but howw to dounolade
22Get Down
It's song about "non reaction" but it sounds great! Melody and voices in background are just amazing
23The Yellow Sidewalk
These is song is so catchy and cute... Isabella is the fairy girl and I think she should sing more often in phineas and ferb song and I love her voice because its sound like a baby
24Haunted by You
25Evil for Extra Credit
This song is so awesome! Carl is a really good singer. He should sing more! The whole time Doof is just rocking out and Monogram is just like... What? This is the best P&F song ever!
26I'm Lindana and I Wanna Have Fun
This song was stuck in my head all day. It's catchy
27Alien Heart
28Couldn't Kick My Way Right Into Her Heart
29Robot Riot
31When We Didn't Get Along
This is the only song in PHineas and Ferb that ever made me cry, the next closest being the ending of "Happy Evil Love"
The melody is simple and the instrumentals basic, but the message it gets across about Perry and Doof's relationship is more powerful than in any other song from PnF. Probably my favorite song from the whole series.
Awesome song made me what to cry
32Mom Look
33Candace Party
34Brand New Best Friend
Doofenshmirtz is a great singer, it has to be number one
35Ain't Got Rhythm
Ain't got Ryhthm by Swampy is awesome. It has a catchy beat and it is cool how they use they use the materials in the library for a beat. Also, the interaction of the library patrons is good as well.
No other song is so rhythemic like it
36Queen of Mars
This should be in top ten at least come on people!
37Theme Song
It's a catchy song but I love it!
39Evil Boys
40Izzy's Got the Frizzies
41Mix and Mingle Machine

42A Brand New Best Friend (And It's Me)
43Gimme a Grade
Way to low! By far their best!
This song is obviously THE ANSWER, because I see its number 42. :) hehehehehehehehe
But seriously, I don't expect this song to be ahead of Summer Belongs To You, S.I.M. P, or any of the more popular songs, but it's my favourite! Me being more of a rock fan, this one hits all the right spots! Always loved the part when they go in the tunnel!

I have been researching the JQuery way to add table rows dynamically. One excellent thread is: How to Copy Table Row with clone in jquery and create new Unique Ids for the controls, with the last example being the one I am targeting in this post.
I have a fiddle giving an example of what I am trying to do. This fiddle does not work exactly yet, but I am working on it,
The main issue I am having is getting the table row copy to set different types of column elements id and default values, and even row attributes. In essence, how do I extend this to be more robust.
Thanks to Nick Craver, I am trying to use this:
// do Add row options
$("#Add").click(function() {
var rowCount = $('#secondaryEmails >tbody >tr').length;
var i = rowCount + 1;
alert('rowCount: ' + rowCount + ', new row: ' + i);
$("#secondaryEmails >tbody tr:first").clone().find("input").each(function() {
'id': function(_, id) {
return id + i
'name': function(_, name) {
return name + i
'value': ''
}).end().appendTo("#secondaryEmails >tbody");
which will copy and insert a row nicely, but if I have a row with a radio button, input box, and select list, I cannot figure out how to tell it to set the default value of each element depending on the type of element. I am trying to use a template row, but that means I need to set the
style:display attribute on the row from
none to
table-cell. Again, how?
Please see the fiddle mentioned previously for a working example.

Fergie, Josh Duhamel Welcome Baby Boy
Baby makes three for Josh Duhamel and Fergie.
The couple welcomed a son, named Axl Jack, on Thursday, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.
Axl Jack Duhamel weighed in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces.
On Thursday morning, TMZ reported that the 38-year-old singer -- who recently had her name legally changed to Fergie Duhamel -- had checked in to a local Los Angeles hospital for a C-section. People first reported news of the birth.
PHOTOS: Craziest Celebrity Baby Names
The duo announced their pregnancy in February on Twitter, with Fergie writing: "Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!!! #mylovelybabybump," a reference to the Black Eyed Peas' smash hit single "My Humps."
Earlier this month, Duhamel, 40, told THR that there was "a lot of anticipation in the Duhamel household," indicating that he would be taking a small break from business to adjust to life as a new dad.
"I'm just developing some things, reading a lot of things and mostly getting ready for my little baby boy that's on the way," he said in an interview tied to his latest film, Scenic Route.
The Duhamels wed in Malibu on Jan. 10, 2009, after dating for more than four years. Axl Jack is the first child for both parents.

Hi! I have been MIA from the blog world for a few days… I wish I could say it was because I was consumed with super important stuff and didn't have the time to blog, but that is not the case. This is a long post, I know, but I have a LOT goin' on upstairs so bear with me, k? :)
It's sort of just been the same old thing over here… you know, another day another dollar, right? The truth is, I have been incredibly low energy lately.. I mean sure, lack of sleep is what made me almost pass out at my desk in a big pile of drool yesterday, but in general, I am just spent. Of course I still had the energy and motivation to make green oats yesterday though. Nothing can keep me from green oats… if it does, well then something is going terribly, terribly wrong.
I have been trying to wrap my head around all this negative thinking that has been going through my mind this past week. But more on that in just a bit… let me catch you up first!
Here are some things that happened over the last few days while I was wallowing in crapativity:
Andrew and I planned a trip to ARUBA!!!!! We are going in November and I couldn't be more excited! I have never been to the Caribbean so this will certainly be an adventure. We are staying in a super nice and SAFE resort :)
Made 'ratatouille' meatloaf a few nights ago…
And put a slice on top of a salad because I will put anything on a salad and eat it with chopsticks. And I never forget to add salsa.
Bought myself this awesome and delicious liquid calcium supplement that I am trying to get in the habit of incorporating into banana 'soft serve' for a nightly treat.
I learned that anything and everything will eventually be fortified with vitamins because more will sell. Even Pop Rock knock off's. I was obviously a sucker for this.
They were good… but not as intensely crackly like the real deal. I found these cheap at Whole Foods!
FINALLY made it to the physical therapist! I learned SO much about my body. It was very, very cool. I learned that the left side of my pelvis is tilted backwards which shortens my left leg and that my left calf muscle is 4 cm smaller than my right calf. YIKES! Apparently my left leg is MUCH weaker than my right which is a major factor in my Tibial stress fracture . I learned exercises to get my pelvis back into alignment and exercises that will strengthen my left leg. I am so pumped about getting my leg back in shape and ready to RUN :)
I also came up with an amazing new cocktail recipe! Light Cranberry Lime Frozen Margaritas… these are to die for!
Light Cranberry Lime Frozen Margaritas
- 10 ice cubes
Throw all these ingredients and blend! Add more ice, lime juice or Truvia to bring to your desired taste and texture :-D
I don't know why I am posting this but a few nights ago Andrew had his friend Dennis over. It was a super late night and we ended up ordering
Last night after work I had decent work out at the gym: 30 minutes hard work out on the elliptical and 30 minutes fast walking on an incline on the treadmill… no running for a few more weeks! AHHHH!!! I came home shorty before Andrew left for Jiu Jitsu and ended up making this huge mega salad for myself. It had trader Joe's baked tofu, sautéed broccoli, iceburg lettuce, baked dried snap peas, black olives, yellow bell pepper, red onion, salsa, Romano cheese and various other dressings and condiments ;) Oh, and that green sludge on top of the salad is wasabi. I LOVE wasabi and will put it on anything. Enjoyed with a glass of Trader Joe's organic Sauvignon Blanc. Booh yeah! I scarfed that sucker DOWN! The salad I mean ;)
Alright! Onto what has been going on in this brain of mine over the past few days:
I have let myself get in this yucky funk and I have had a difficult time turning my frown upside down ;) God, I can be such a dork sometimes haha But it's true… it's so easy to spiral downward into negative thinking: "I look awful in this", "I don't make enough money", "I will never be able to afford to go back to school", "I can't do anything good enough", "I eat too much", I don't work out enough", "Maybe I think I look better, sing better, cook better than I really do", "Maybe I am not as nice as I would like to think", "Maybe I am not as good of a person as people think I am", "I am selfish", "I am a failure", "I will never pay off my debt" and so on. Pretty negative, huh? Doesn't leave a good feeling that's for sure. What amazes me is that I know inside, these things are not true.
But did you read all those negative words? "Failure", "Never", "Too Much", "Not good enough", "Selfish", "Awful"… all these negative words have powerful impacts on our minds when we think them… even if they are not true. When we start using positive affirmations like "I am successful", "I am happy", "I am beautiful"… your mood will eventually shift. It's not easy but I promise it works wonders!
And it's not just the negative thinking, it is a state of mind. It's a state of mind that blows anything even slightly 'negative' out in my life out of proportion. It makes me forget that I, just like all of you, am unique and my goals are a work in progress. It exasperates road rage in commuter traffic, shortens my temper and patience in long lines at Trader Joe's or when people don't answer their phones, spawns jealousy instead of happiness for runners enjoying an exhilarating run outside because I cannot run now. This state of mind separates me from the rest of the world as though everyone is against me and I for some reason need to defend my every action, my every word. It turns conversation and what should have otherwise been a healthy debate into heated discussion and arguments. It disables my ability to open up to people, let them in and make new connections. I rush through conversation as though I want nothing to do with it or the person. I am more apt to blow off plans and hibernate at home. It stomps on my motivation. It makes it more difficult to go to the gym, sing, create new recipes, or meet friends out for drinks. The glass isn't even half empty, it's empty. Who wants to be around that let alone LIVE it?
This is not me. I know better than to let this happen. I like to think I am inherently incredibly positive. I understand that to get what you want you have to MAKE it happen. I believe anything is possible if you really want it. I love people, making new friends, long conversations, being an ear or shoulder for those that need me. I love to laugh and Andrew's humor is one of the many reasons why I feel in love with him. I have a lot to be thankful for. I truly, truly do. So why then, has it been so easy to let this negative state of mind take over?
I am a perfectionist at heart. I set very, very high standards for myself. Perhaps these standards are sometimes too high. But I like to push myself. If I don't push myself, I won't know what my limits are. And to me, there should be no limits. The possibilities should be endless.I have a tendency to quickly spiral into negative thinking when something doesn't work out the way I want it to. Like how my stress fracture has stopped me from running for the time being in a season where I have multiple races lined up, many with my Sister, a busy schedule that keeps me from working out one day, unexpected bills and unexpected zits, losing my favorite necklace, forgetting to buy onions for a recipe… all ofthese things are minor. Really they are so minor.. like small, insignificant blips in my life that I will get over. But my narrowed perception has made me react disproportionately.
Negative thinking is a habit we all sometimes fall into… some, more often than others. It is a thought pattern that has to consciously be broken. It narrows the mind and does not allow us to see the big picture. It makes us dwell on small things we cannot immediately change. We all have doubt and want confirmation of our abilities, our looks and our actions. It is human nature. What I know I need to change is my perception of myself and those around me and the way I react to negative perceptions. Perception change is the more difficult part, but changing my reactions and actions are the first step. The goal is to control those thoughts, be more reflective and turn them back around to positive thinking in order to pursue, act on, and succeed in my goals . Positive thinking will draw people to you and open up possibilities. Plus, it will smack that gorgeous smile right back on that face of yours! I like to say "Fake it 'til you make it!!!" this is SO powerful. It sounds silly and cheesy sure, but negative perceptions are just that… perceptions. If you think yourself into positive thinking, pretend you're happy, force yourself to slow down, stop and reflect on what REALLY is going on, see the BIG picture and talk with people, meet friends out… eventually, I find I get myslef recharged this way…. I get myself back in line with my values and positive thinking.
Sometimes you just need to laugh at yourself like I did while having this conversation with my Sister on Gchat this morning:
Sam: How's work?
Gross right? hahah but I totally laughed at myself! :-D
This is my me and my Sister Samantha in Arizona a few years ago when I lived in Tucson. LOVE LOVE LOVE Tucson! Sam is a runner too and will be running the B.A.A half marathon October 9th! I signed up with her though I will sitting this one out because of my leg… but I will be there to cheer her on! SO proud of her! :-D She can always snap me out of a negative attitude!
And here we are at our Cousin Charlotte's wedding!
Whew! Thanks for bearing with me guys! Thank God it's Friday, right!!!?? This weekend I have two wine tours to give, an Indiana Jones movie marathon to attend that Andrew set up (so he and our friends can 'study' their Halloween characters. Not kidding) and besides that, total relaxation in this insanely gorgeous cool and non-humid weather!
What are your weekend plans?
How do YOU relinquish negative thinking?
How do you feel about Vitamin fortified Vita Rocks?

Originally planned as a quiet little hunting seat, it turned into quite an ambitious project with Schloß Sanssouci in Potsdam serving as an example to strive for in the Duke's mind. From here you get a great view of the adjacent street that leads directly to the former residence, Schloß Ludwigsburg. Only parts of what was once an impressive palace have survived. However, the palace is still worth a visit when in Stuttgart. It is a popular location, not only because of the views, but also for concerts and exhibitions, without ever being overrun with crowds. Concerts also take place in the Main Hall of the palace. The restaurant and chapel are a very popular among wedding couples. The palace was built in 3 construction phases, starting in 1764. In the last years the Carlsschule (school) was built, which was later moved to the city center. The school owes its fame to the prominent former pupil, Friedrich Schiller.

what a bunch of Jesus-humping BULLSHIT!!!!! Get back to the vampires or just don't write anything else!! YOU SUCK!!! LAME!!! Just one big Pukemas barf orgy. Belongs in the incinerator or toxic waste dump.
What happened to my eloquent, decadent, rich favorite writer? This book feels so....casual. There's a paragraph on pg. 272 (of the hard cover) that should have been left out completely and she uses the word "whathaveyou" or "whatnot". Found the "here's where we're at" intro too casual. I'm used to Rice's stories being so rich. Also, the main characters are all perfect (except that they kill), leaving them flat and unbelievable. Also, was there a plot, or is this just a description of characters during the holidays? Normally I'm a huge Rice fan, but this novel is disappointing.
I find the other characters more interesting than our protagonist, Reuben. Perhaps this will change with the next book.

My hands are broken
And time is going on and on, it goes forever
So I got high and lived all that life
That I have taken all for granted
Promise me you'll try to leave it all behind
'Cause I've elected hell lying to myself
Why have I gone blind, living all the life
You, you
The only way out
Is letting your guard down and never die forgotten
Forgive me my love, I stand here all alone
And I can see the bottom
Promise me you'll try to leave it all behind
'Cause I've elected hell lying to myself
Why have I gone blind, living all the life
You, you

- Neural processing of reward in adolescent rodents. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dev Cogn Neurosci 2014 Nov 22.
Immaturities in adolescent reward processing are thought to contribute to poor decision making and increased susceptibility to develop addictive and psychiatric disorders. Very little is known; however, about how the adolescent brain processes reward. The current mechanistic theories of reward processing are derived from adult models. Here we review recent research focused on understanding of how the adolescent brain responds to rewards and reward-associated events. A critical aspect of this work is that age-related differences are evident in neuronal processing of reward-related events across multiple brain regions even when adolescent rats demonstrate behavior similar to adults. These include differences in reward processing between adolescent and adult rats in orbitofrontal cortex and dorsal striatum. Surprisingly, minimal age related differences are observed in ventral striatum, which has been a focal point of developmental studies. We go on to discuss the implications of these differences for behavioral traits affected in adolescence, such as impulsivity, risk-taking, and behavioral flexibility. Collectively, this work suggests that reward-evoked neural activity differs as a function of age and that regions such as the dorsal striatum that are not traditionally associated with affective processing in adults may be critical for reward processing and psychiatric vulnerability in adolescents.
- Frequency of spontaneous BOLD signal shifts during infancy and correlates with cognitive performance. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dev Cogn Neurosci 2014 Nov 4.:40-50.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Numerous studies have been conducted to delineate the early development of different functional networks, based on measuring the temporal synchronization of spontaneous blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signals acquired using resting state functional MRI (rsfMRI). However, little attention has been paid to the change of the frequency properties of these signals during early brain development. Such frequency properties may reflect important physiological changes and potentially have significant cognitive consequences. In this study, leveraging a large (N=86 subjects), longitudinal sample of human infants scanned during the first two years of life, we aimed to specifically delineate the developmental changes of the frequency characteristics of spontaneous BOLD signals. Both whole-brain and network-level examinations were carried out and the frequency-behavior relationship was explored. Our results revealed a clear right-ward shift of BOLD signal frequency during the first year of life. Moreover, the power at the peak-frequency for sensorimotor and lateral visual networks correlates with domain-specific Mullen Scales in 1-year-olds, suggesting the behavioral significance of the BOLD signal frequency during infancy. Findings from this study shed light into early functional brain development and provide a new perspective for future searches for functional developmental abnormalities.
- The potential of infant fMRI research and the study of early life stress as a promising exemplar. [REVIEW]
- Dev Cogn Neurosci 2014 Oct 16.:12-39.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research with infants and toddlers has increased rapidly over the past decade, and provided a unique window into early brain development. In the current report, we review the state of the literature, which has established the feasibility and utility of task-based fMRI and resting state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI) during early periods of brain maturation. These methodologies have been successfully applied beginning in the neonatal period to increase understanding of how the brain both responds to environmental stimuli, and becomes organized into large-scale functional systems that support complex behaviors. We discuss the methodological challenges posed by this promising area of research. We also highlight that despite these challenges, early work indicates a strong potential for these methods to influence multiple research domains. As an example, we focus on the study of early life stress and its influence on brain development and mental health outcomes. We illustrate the promise of these methodologies for building on, and making important contributions to, the existing literature in this field.
- Developmental changes in fact and source recall: Contributions from executive function and brain electrical activity. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dev Cogn Neurosci 2014 Oct 22.:1-11.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Source memory involves recollecting the contextual details surrounding a memory episode. When source information is bound together, it makes a memory episodic in nature. Unfortunately, very little is known about the factors that contribute to its formation in early development. This study examined the development of source memory in middle childhood. Measures of executive function were examined as potential sources of variation in fact and source recall. Continuous electroencephalogram (EEG) measures were collected during baseline and fact and source retrieval in order to examine memory-related changes in EEG power. Six and 8-year-old children were taught 10 novel facts from two different sources and recall for fact and source information was later tested. Older children were better on fact recall, but both ages were comparable on source recall. However, source recall performance was poor at both ages, suggesting that this ability continues to develop beyond middle childhood. Regression analyses revealed that executive function uniquely predicted variance in source recall performance. Task-related increases in theta power were observed at frontal, temporal and parietal electrode sites during fact and source retrieval. This investigation contributes to our understanding of age-related differences in source memory processing in middle childhood.
- Saguenay Youth Study: A multi-generational approach to studying virtual trajectories of the brain and cardio-metabolic health. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dev Cogn Neurosci 2014 Oct 23.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
This paper provides an overview of the Saguenay Youth Study (SYS) and its parental arm. The overarching goal of this effort is to develop trans-generational models of developmental cascades contributing to the emergence of common chronic disorders, such as depression, addictions, dementia and cardio-metabolic diseases. Over the past 10 years, we have acquired detailed brain and cardio-metabolic phenotypes, and genome-wide genotypes, in 1029 adolescents recruited in a population with a known genetic founder effect. At present, we are extending this dataset to acquire comparable phenotypes and genotypes in the biological parents of these individuals. After providing conceptual background for this work (transactions across time, systems and organs), we describe briefly the tools employed in the adolescent arm of this cohort and highlight some of the initial accomplishments. We then outline in detail the phenotyping protocol used to acquire comparable data in the parents.
- The effects of puberty on white matter development in boys. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dev Cogn Neurosci 2014 Oct 22.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Neuroimaging studies demonstrate considerable changes in white matter volume and microstructure during adolescence. Most studies have focused on age-related effects, whilst puberty-related changes are not well understood. Using diffusion tensor imaging and tract-based spatial statistics, we investigated the effects of pubertal status on white matter mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) in 61 males aged 12.7-16.0 years. Participants were grouped into early-mid puberty (≤Tanner Stage 3 in pubic hair and gonadal development; n=22) and late-post puberty (≥Tanner Stage 4 in pubic hair or gonadal development; n=39). Salivary levels of pubertal hormones (testosterone, DHEA and oestradiol) were also measured. Pubertal stage was significantly related to MD in diverse white matter regions. No relationship was observed between pubertal status and FA. Regression modelling of MD in the significant regions demonstrated that an interaction model incorporating puberty, age and puberty×age best explained our findings. In addition, testosterone was correlated with MD in these pubertally significant regions. No relationship was observed between oestradiol or DHEA and MD. In conclusion, pubertal status was significantly related to MD, but not FA, and this relationship cannot be explained by changes in chronological age alone.
- Age-related increases in long-range connectivity in fetal functional neural connectivity networks in utero. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dev Cogn Neurosci 2014 Sep 27.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Formation of operational neural networks is one of the most significant accomplishments of human fetal brain growth. Recent advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have made it possible to obtain information about brain function during fetal development. Specifically, resting-state fMRI and novel signal covariation approaches have opened up a new avenue for non-invasive assessment of neural functional connectivity (FC) before birth. Early studies in this area have unearthed new insights about principles of prenatal brain function. However, very little is known about the emergence and maturation of neural networks during fetal life. Here, we obtained cross-sectional rs-fMRI data from 39 fetuses between 24 and 38 weeks postconceptual age to examine patterns of connectivity across ten neural FC networks. We identified primitive forms of motor, visual, default mode, thalamic, and temporal networks in the human fetal brain. We discovered the first evidence of increased long-range, cerebral-cerebellar, cortical-subcortical, and intra-hemispheric FC with advancing fetal age. Continued aggregation of data about fundamental neural connectivity systems in utero is essential to establishing principles of connectomics at the beginning of human life. Normative data provides a vital context against which to compare instances of abnormal neurobiological development.
- Effects of incentives, age, and behavior on brain activation during inhibitory control: A longitudinal fMRI study. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dev Cogn Neurosci 2014 Sep 19.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
We investigated changes in brain function supporting inhibitory control under age-controlled incentivized conditions, separating age- and performance-related activation in an accelerated longitudinal design including 10- to 22-year-olds. Better inhibitory control correlated with striatal activation during neutral trials, while Age X Behavior interactions in the striatum indicated that in the absence of extrinsic incentives, younger subjects with greater reward circuitry activation successfully engage in greater inhibitory control. Age was negatively correlated with ventral amygdala activation during Loss trials, suggesting that amygdala function more strongly mediates bottom-up processing earlier in development when controlling the negative aspects of incentives to support inhibitory control. Together, these results indicate that with development, reward-modulated cognitive control may be supported by incentive processing transitions in the amygdala, and from facilitative to obstructive striatal function during inhibitory control.
- Development of the Default Mode and Central Executive Networks across early adolescence: A longitudinal study. [Journal Article]
- Dev Cogn Neurosci 2014 Oct.:148-59.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The mature brain is organized into distinct neural networks defined by regions demonstrating correlated activity during task performance as well as rest. While research has begun to examine differences in these networks between children and adults, little is known about developmental changes during early adolescence. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the Central Executive Network (CEN) at ages 10 and 13 in a longitudinal sample of 45 participants. In the DMN, participants showed increasing integration (i.e., stronger within-network correlations) between the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and the medial prefrontal cortex. During this time frame participants also showed increased segregation (i.e., weaker between-network correlations) between the PCC and the CEN. Similarly, from age 10 to 13, participants showed increased connectivity between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and other CEN nodes, as well as increasing DMN segregation. IQ was significantly positively related to CEN integration at age 10, and between-network segregation at both ages. These findings highlight early adolescence as a period of significant maturation for the brain's functional architecture and demonstrate the utility of longitudinal designs to investigate neural network development.

Prior research suggests that increased adolescent risk-taking in the presence of peers may be linked to the influence of peers on the valuation and processing of rewards during decision-making. The current study explores this idea by examining how peer observation impacts the processing of rewards when such processing is isolated from other facets of risky decision-making (e.g. risk-perception and preference, inhibitory processing, etc.). In an fMRI paradigm, a sample of adolescents (ages 14-19) and adults (ages 25-35) completed a modified High/Low Card Guessing Task that included rewarded and un-rewarded trials. Social context was manipulated by having participants complete the task both alone and while being observed by two, same-age, same-sex peers. Results indicated an interaction of age and social context on the activation of reward circuitry during the receipt of reward; when observed by peers adolescents exhibited greater ventral striatal activation than adults, but no age-related differences were evinced when the task was completed alone. These findings suggest that, during adolescence, peers influence recruitment of reward-related regions even when they are engaged outside of the context of risk-taking. Implications for engagement in prosocial, as well as risky, behaviors during adolescence are discussed.
