The Biggest Loser!
Today on the BeachLifestyle Radio Show, Host Neil Haley The Total Tutor interviews not ONE, but TWO Finalists of the the "Biggest Loser" Season 13-Mark Cornelison, and Buddy Shuh!
BUDDY SHUH was born on an Army base in Landstuhl, Germany and raised in Michigan, Ohio and Florida with his four siblings.

While attending Ohio State University, he played football for a while, and he later received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Eastern Michigan University. When Buddy stopped playing sports, he stopped exercising, and that, coupled with a poor diet, led to his weight gain.
MARK CORNELISON wanted to go on The Biggest Loser because he's ready to make the life changes necessary to get healthy and hopes to give his "smokin' hot wife a smokin' hot husband!" He was born in San Angelo, Texas and raised in Abilene with his older sister, who has Down syndrome. He received a marketing degree from the University of North Texas, and he says a poor diet and lack of exercise led him to start gaining weight in high school.

Cara Castronuova From NBC's Hit TV Show The Biggest Loser
The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Biggest Loser Trainer Cara Castronuova. Neil will interview Cara to find out about her boxing career, The Biggest Loser experience, and her foundation.
A two-time Golden Gloves winner and certified trainer once ranked nationally by USA Boxing, Cara Castronuova is popularly known as one of the newest trainers on The Biggest Loser.
Castronuova was born and raised in Elmont, New York, with three younger brothers. She began boxing at the age of five in the family garage with her father, a former Marine. She also wrestled in high school and in college. She graduated from Hofstra University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications.
She began her boxing career as a youth boxing trainer. Soon, she started entering local bouts, winning her first fight in 2002 at the NY Empire State Games in Syracuse. She also was a volunteer for a government-funded program designed to teach troubled youth the virtues of boxing and keep them off the streets.
Later, while working as a personal fitness and boxing trainer at popular sports clubs in the New York City area, like Chelsea Piers and Gleason's Boxing Gym, she used fighting and boxing to encourage clients to "find their warrior within." While continuing to train clients, Castronuova kept boxing competitively, winning a pair of "Silver Gloves" in 2004, the second-place prize in the Golden Gloves competition. Determined to redeem herself, Castronuova came back one year later and won her first New York Golden Gloves championship at Madison Square Garden in 2005 in front of a televised, capacity crowd.

The Biggest Loser w/ Mark Cornelison!
Today on the BeachLifestyle Radio Show, Host Neil Haley will interview former contestant on the hit TV Show "The Biggest Loser". Please welcome Mr. Mark Cornelison to the show!
wanted to go on The Biggest Loser because he's ready to make the life changes necessary to get healthy and hopes to give his "smokin' hot wife a smokin' hot husband!" He was born in San Angelo, Texas and raised in Abilene with his older sister, who has Down syndrome. He received a marketing degree from the University of North Texas, and he says a poor diet and lack of exercise led him to start gaining weight in high school. Now 43 years old and 291 pounds, Mark suffers from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and acid reflux. As a youth pastor, Mark enjoys doing volunteer work and going on missionary trips, both of which have been more challenging due to his weight. He knew it was time to make a life change when he increased dosage on one medication and started another this year. Now a married father of three teenagers – two sons and one daughter – Mark hopes to go rock climbing and possibly run a marathon after he loses the weight. He also looks forward to being a healthy role model for his family and the kids he works with.

I totally understand your
I totally understand your frustration about the AJ fans!
Widespread foolishness is a major problem everywhere, even with people who have most of the right facts but have no WISDOM.
There is almost NO WISDOM anywhere these days, just lots of information and people throwing it out there with no thought to who they're talking to and what they sound like to them.
EVEN IF George Bush himself flew the planes into the WTC by remote control, THAT IS THE WRONG THING to start a conversation with someone about. Period.
Most people will think you are psychotic and report you to the nearest mental ward, so DON'T DO IT.
Start with something that people can see with their own 2 eyes, like a dollar with "Federal Reserve Note" printed on the top (all dollars have that on them). Then you can lead them step by step through the logical process of asking what the FED does to our money and how they are able to loan money to governments and corporations at our expense (through inflation of the money supply), and how we and our children are on the hook to pay it back with interest while dealing with a weak economy and an overbearing government.
THAT is enough to get most people's attention, get them interested in finding out more. Before too long they will be motivated to oppose the Federal Reserve's continued power over our economy and government. THAT is what we want to accomplish in order to stop the wars, the police state, the GMO foods, the continuing recession, the New World Order, the false flag attacks, a new holocaust, etc, whatever thing that would happen in the future (including things that people dismiss as "conspiracy theories").
There's not enough THINKING going on with too many people in the liberty movement. We can't just "be right" about things and expect people to hear us out and believe it all at once, we also have to "be wise" about how we explain things in order to be successful in converting people.
Simply shouting things at someone is like beating them over the head with words, it doesn't "wake them up", it just makes them think you're a thug or a lunatic.
STOP THAT and START THINKING about the person you're trying to reach.

What's more selfish
Started by nobodyreally , Dec 01 2012 10:11 PM

Going anon.
What is more selfish, doing something you know will hurt somebody you love and they've asked you not to do it and you've promised a long time ago not to do it... or staying and dragging them down with you, wearing on them with your problems?
Is it sometimes right to hurt someone in the short term so they can get on with their lives after awhile? I always said I would never break a promise to the person I love, and I haven't yet, but what if its bad for them?
Both ways hurt me I only just want to do right by them.

Sounds tough OP. I do believe sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. If you are not in love with the person and they have asked you not to leave then I wouldn't stay, I would set them free.
I hope it is nothing too serious and you are not suicidal or anything. Please seek help if you need it.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:15 PM
Depends on the situation. But it sounds like you would be taking a decision out of someone elses hands an that isn't fair.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:17 PM
I'm ignoring your scenarios as I'm confused by them, but I think failing to negotiate is selfish.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:17 PM
It's hard to know OP because there's not much information to go off.
Don't do anying rash OP. It sounds as though you could do with someone to talk to.

If I didn't love them it would be easy because I wouldn't be so afraid of making them sad or hurting them.
I worry that whatever I do I will hurt them and that I might twirl issues around to justify anything I decide to do. I don't know what is truly best. I would just like a way to know what is truly in their best interest because then I would do that.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:20 PM
It sounds like you need to get perpective on this. Sometimes we feel that people would be better off without us for all the wrong reasons.
If you love this person, then you need to find a way to work this out without hurting them.
Can you tell us more? Maybe we can help? Are you OK?
Otherwise see a counsellor or your GP or talk to a close friend before making any big decisions. Of call Lifeline etc.
All the best

It's hard for us to answer without any information.
What is the best decision for you?

Is this a you think he would be better off without you situation or a you don't feel happy in the relationship situation?
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:29 PM
I don't know if I am okay or not.
I used to know what I wanted and not do it because I promised them I wouldn't. They said it would hurt them too much and I figured I owed them that much, I didn't want to make them sad, and in time hell they'd probably change their mind anyway and then I'd have an out.
They never did change their mind.
I don't know if I'm getting better or getting more selfish. I don't want to be without them. I love everything about being with them. I can actually see a future. But is that what's good for them or just what's good for me?

I agree with sunnycat sounds like you have alot of thoughts and feelings you need work out with someone not involved in the situation.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:42 PM
The hilarious thing is I'm fairly up from where I was for a long time. At least I was used to down there!
I'm still an awfully messed up person. Would they be better off single? Able to get with someone less physically damaged and mentally odd? They could do soooo much better. I want to make sure that I'm not just being a vampire.

Warning: discussion of suicidal ideation.
OP, I hope I am wrong about this, but to me your post reads like 'someone' who is considering suicide. Perhaps 'someone' who has considered it for a long time, but has tried to not think about it because it would hurt their partner. But now feels the partner is more hurt by them being around.
I'm really sorry if I've read this wrong. But if I'm right, even vaguely, please please please talk to a professional IRL. This sort of thinking is not necessarily the real "truth" of the situation- depression and suicidal ideation can cloud the best of times, and really mess with a persons judgement and ability to make helpful decisions.
Good on you for starting to reach out though

this was my first thought as well.
I hope i am wrong but please if this person could be intending self harm and feels that they are only not doing it to hurt someone then they need to get some help IRL.
They need to ring life line, mental health crisis team or someone who can come and be with them whilst these feelings are so strong and they can get in to see a professional.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:58 PM
Is it normal to see everything sort of split-screened? I swear everything is split down the middle and I can see both realities and both look equally plausible all the time.
Things I am scared of are
a) completely ridiculous
b) completely plausible
at the same time.
I am normal looking and that makes sense in one way okay sort of just person-looking. Oh and I am also hideous. Things are pretty much okay and things will never be okay.
Have you ever had a panic attack while you knew it wasn't scary? Or refused to go to the mall because you'll be the ugliest thing there and people will be afraid of looking at you while you could simultaneously think "no that isn't right probably no one will notice you at all also objectively you aren't that astonishing-looking."
People always talk about go with your gut or trust your feelings and that doesn't make any sense. I almost never have just one set of feelings.

Just in case: the number for Lifeline is 13 11 14. Calling them does not 'fix' the situation, but it can be a step in the right direction.

For a long time I knew exactly what I wanted to do and I only didn't because I promised not to. It hurt so bad to keep that promise but if it only hurts me I don't care.
I can't abide it hurting them though.
And now like I said I'm a little more up and I can see futures and things and that actually scares me. Isn't that screwed up? To be scared I don't always 100% have my exit plan. To worry what's wrong that I can't soothe on that image anymore and that I can go weeks without thinking of it.
I'm pretty sure that's not normal. Now I'm actually frightened that I don't always want what I wanted anymore. But I'm not sure if that's good.
I don't need to call Lifeline, I feel absurd using their time, what would I say "help, I'm scared, I'm not sure I want to kill myself anymore and I don't know what to do!!!"
Posted 01 December 2012 - 11:06 PM
OP, I'm so sorry you are having a tough time at the moment.
I can relate to alot of what you are saying, if you ever just want to have a chat feel free to PM me anytime.
And please, look after yourself. Lifeline definitely won't think you are absurd for calling them.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 11:06 PM
they are not just there for those that are on the brink of self harm... they are there to help people who are having a hard time and need someone to just talk to so they can help you talk about what is happening in your head.
This is for everyone, please never feel like you would be wasting their time!
Posted 01 December 2012 - 11:11 PM
OP, that sounds typical for someone who has experienced what is called an "invalidating environment". Most typically (but may not be your situation, so again, my apologies if I get it wrong), this occurs when a child has been abused.
Basically, the child learns that, although they have feelings on the abuse (be it physical, sexual or emotional), their feelings are "invalidated" by the perpetrator of the abuse, who effectively tells the child that THEY are wrong for feeling this way.
As an adult, it can mean that 'you' have thoughts and feelings you think are 'real', but you have not learnt to trust your ability to accurately judge the situation. So 'you' have multiple conflicting thoughts, all of which cause you to doubt yourself and your ability to 'know' anything.
Again, if this in any way sounds familiar to you, please seek help IRL.

Ah, OP, I think I'm getting my head around where you are at.
I could tell you that Lifeline are there precisely to help people such as yourself, and that you deserve help, and a future, and I think you might struggle with that idea. A lot.
I think you are very frightened of losing your 'escape hatch'. Perhaps it has always been there, in the back of your mind, as a safety net, just in case things got too much. And now, instead of getting worse, things are getting better, meaning that you have less reason to keep the 'escape hatch' option- and this leaves you feeling like you are losing your safety net.
Do you have a counsellor, or doctor, who you can speak with?

Yes. This. With a side of not being sure if I am becoming more okay or just more selfish. If it's true I can't trust how I've been feeling all this time (this is years remember) I can't trust how I am feeling now either. Am I dressing up draining the life out of people trying to help me?
If I had done it four and a half years ago would they be in a totally different, better place by now? Would everyone?
I had a strange childhood but not an abusive one really. Mostly as far as invalidating I only remember being told there was nothing to be afraid of, which at the time was actually untrue and there was plenty to be afraid of and I was aware of it.
Other stuff has happened between childhood and now and I don't know if it was abusive or if I'm spinning. I don't think it was all malicious it was just exactly what I didn't need, and I ripped along the seams?
I don't have anyone to speak with I haven't wanted to look for that but maybe that is weird too. I am just trying to think tonight, sorry for the self-indulgent thread.

Please, please speak to someone, please call Lifeline.

You are placing an awful weight on yourself, trying to work out whether people would be better off with or without you. I would suggest, scary as this may be to hear, that this is just as much THEIR choice as it is yours. And 'they' (in particular your partner) have chosen to stay. That says a lot about what your partner values in you, and your relationship, even if you are unable to see it.
Right now, it is really important that you focus on what you can do for yourself. Again, probably not where you want to direct your attention (well, possibly not in the context of "being kind to yourself"), but it is so important. You are, ironically, in a risky situation now that you feel somewhat better. And I'm guessing that 'better' feels quite strange, at times. But at least you know it is possible.
Sorry if this is starting to sound like a ramble- and please feel free to discard whatever I get wrong.
Do you have someone, a professional, you can talk to IRL?

Any questions? I am unable to find beef cheeks – have tried Whole Foods as well as two local butcher shops. No luck.

I couldn't get beef cheeks, so I used chuck roast – and doubled the carrots. I was told this was the best "pot roast" I have made. It was even better as leftovers.
(I might possibly have been chided for swiping two cups of someone's Malbec to use in the stew…Hey, if it's good enough for drinking, then it's good enough for cooking, right?)
Mardi (eat. live. travel. write.) November 27, 2012 at 2:54 AM #
I used stewing beef too – was too rushed the weekend I made this (and all the other FFWD recipes) to head out in search of the cheeks. It was SO good – odd for sure and hard to make it look pretty but so delicious. And of course decent wine helps ;)
Bakeawaywithme November 27, 2012 at 4:39 PM #
I'm also using chuck roast! I called 3 butchers in my area and they said they don't carry it and would not be able to get it for me. That made it easy!!
Today I purchased my chuck roast – felt defeated by the beef cheek search. It's something about having to be a store/shop that butchers the entire cow on premises which I understand most grocery stores and butcher shops no longer do. Cowards!
Also was feeling "cheeky" so went to my wine store and bought a bottle of good red wine – enough to pour in the pot and into my mouth.
I opened a fantastic cab, used the 2 cups and finished off the rest while it was cooking. When I was done I didn't much care if it was beef cheek, chuck, or tuna fish. Tasted great!

Milwaukee Brewers (65-53) at Chicago Cubs (50-66), 8:05 p.m. (ET)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Worst meets first in the National League Central standings on Monday night when the Chicago Cubs take on the visiting Milwaukee Brewers in the opener of a four-game series at Wrigley Field.
Milwaukee went 4-2 on its recent homestand, which concluded with Sunday's 5-1 setback to the Dodgers.
The Brewers offense managed only a first-inning run against Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw, who went eight innings and yielded only six hits. Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson took the loss despite giving up only two runs in six frames.
Milwaukee begins the day with a two-game lead in the NL Central standings, while last-place Chicago sits 14 games off the pace. Still, manager Ron Roenicke said his team knows better than to take any opponent lightly.
"These guys realize: We have been really good, and we go into Chicago, and we get beat," Roenicke said. "There's no teams you can take lightly. For one, the pitching staffs are too good in baseball now. It's not just the team you're playing. If you face a good pitcher that night and he's on and you don't score, you're going to lose.
"We realize that if we're not on our game, it doesn't matter who we're playing, we're going to get beat."
Chicago staved off a three-game sweep against Tampa Bay with a 3-2 win in 12 innings on Sunday. Anthony Rizzo came through with the game-winning RBI single off Cesar Ramos with one out and runners on second and third. Chris Coghlan tied the game with an RBI triple in the seventh.
Jake Arrieta gets the start for Chicago and is coming off his worst showing of the season. The right-hander scattered a career-high 13 hits and a season-high nine runs over five innings.
Prior to that outing, he had posted 10 straight quality starts. Arrieta has been tough to beat at Wrigley, where he is 2-0 with a 1.85 ERA in seven starts.
For Milwaukee, Yovani Gallardo also looks to rebound from a sub-par performance his last time out. The right-hander lasted just four innings against San Francisco on Wednesday as he gave up three first-inning runs. Gallardo went on to walk four batters and gave up four earned runs on nine hits to drop to 6-6 on the season.
Prior to those first-inning runs, Gallardo had a 16 2/3-inning scoreless streak.
"The past few starts, I think, everything was right in place," Gallardo said. "But you know what? That's how this game is. Sometimes there are certain things you can't explain."
Milwaukee has a slim 5-4 lead in the season series with Chicago.

By Greg Miller July 15 (Washington Post) -- The Iranian nuclear scientist who claimed to have been abducted by the CIA before departing for his homeland Wednesday was paid more than $5 million by the agency to provide intelligence on Iran's nuclear program, U.S. officials said. Shahram Amiri is not obligated to return the money but might be unable to access it after breaking off what U.S. officials described as significant cooperation with the CIA and abruptly returning to Iran. Officials said he might have left out of concern that the Tehran government would harm his family. "Anything he got is now beyond his reach, thanks to the financial sanctions on Iran," a U.S. official said. "He's gone, but his money's not. We have his information, and the Iranians have him." Amiri arrived at the Iranian diplomatic mission in Washington this week and requested to be sent home. U.S.
U.S. Covert Paramilitary Presence in Afghanistan Much Larger Than Thought By Craig Whitlock and Greg Miller Sept. 22 (Washington Post) -- On an Afghan ridge 7,800 feet above sea level, about four miles from Pakistan, stands a mud-brick fortress nicknamed the Alamo. It is officially dubbed Firebase Lilley, and it is a nerve center in the covert war against the Taliban and al-Qaeda. The CIA has relied on Lilley, part of a constellation of agency bases across Afghanistan, as a hub to train and deploy a well-armed 3,000-troop Afghan paramilitary force collectively known as Counterterrorism Pursuit Teams. In addition to being used for surveillance, raids and combat operations in Afghanistan, the teams are crucial to the United States' secret war in Pakistan, according to current and former U.S. officials. The existence of the teams is disclosed in "Obama's Wars," a forthcoming book by longtime Washington Post journalist Bob

He was also greeted by Hassan Qashqavi, a high-ranking Foreign Ministry official, as well as a deputy interior minister and a deputy science minister. Iran's Arabic-language news channel Al Alam extensively covered the arrival, but it was not shown live on state television, which does not broadcast in the early morning.

DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL! This processor had a lot of promise...when it worked. We went through 3 of these (!), having returned 2. One was replaced by Overstock and the second faulty processor, by KitchenAid. The blade mechanism has to be pressed down so that you hear a click and The top lid was always difficult to twist off. What always ended up happening, was the blade stopped rotating, and by the 3rd processor we knew to press it all the way down, because it can seem as if it's completely down, when it's actually not. While the vendor and KitchenAid were both very nice in replacing 2 of these processors, I tried to explain to KitchenAid that there were serious flaws with this machine. One of the KA customer service people I spoke with, said I shouldn't be chopping meat with this. I read her the instructions from the booklet which contradicted that-- kind of hard to negate something that's in their own instruction book. Anyway, this third processor bit the dust in less than 5 months....same exact problem. There is a serious design flaw with this model and KitchenAid needs to realize this and either scrap this model completely or fix the bloody problem!
Very large base is my only dislike. Love all the options and seems to have great power as it has screamed right through everything I have thrown at it so far. The color is very pleasing, matches stainless steel appliances, not too silver and yet not brown either. Also really like the storage case for all the blades. This refurbished processor was the best deal I've seen anywhere hands down.
An excellent kitchen tool for the money spent. We have found countless ways to use it in our preparation of different dishes. We are very happy we found this product on Overstock.com.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Vintage Crochet (Hardcover)
Nothing in here really screams (to me of course) to be made right this minute. Of course that's my own personal taste, but a lot of these patterns are very similar to a lot that is available for free online. It does come off more as an advert for the shop rather than a good selection of vintage patterns. Check out google for some stunning vintage crochet patterns. There are several websites dedicated to providing much more wearable patterns for free...
