Yesterday was a good day for me. I woke up early and did not eat breakfast because I had a weight watchers meeting and I never eat before I weigh in. In retrospect I should have packed breakfast to eat afterwards, expecially since I was planning on going to trader joes afterwards to pick up a few things. I did not pack something though so I ended up not eating breakfast yesterday.
My weigh in went really well though. I lost two pounds which is great because I expected to gain weight after being sick for the past few weeks and being on all sorts of medications. So happy dance for me :-)
After weight watchers I stopped by trader joes. I have really been missing that store. I havnt been in months and months because I live about 30 minutes away from it and I have not been in that area in a while. Luckly the sunday morning meeting at weight watchers is right next to trader joes. I got some organic apples (because the apples I bought from the regular supermarket taste like pestiside.... really gross) and some salad greens, pea shoots, rice pasta, black beans, gluten free oatmeal and gluten free buns.... all really good stuff. I love trader joes. I can get a big bag of quinoa there for like $3.99 when a bag that is smaller cost about $5.99 at the regular supermarket. Im going to start going to the sunday morning meeting in Charlotte from now on which will give me a good excuse to pick up a few things each week. :-)
I was tempted to grab some organic chocolate on my way out the door. I was getting kinda hungry... but I didnt.
I decided to stop by Marshall's on the way home but when I got there it wasnt opened yet. I only had about 25 minutes or so until the store opened thugh so while waiting I walked a loop around the super target parking lot for 25 minutes instead of sitting in the car on my iphone for that time. It was pretty cold but it was nice being outside.
So I was at Marshall's because I really need a new pair of jeans. I am wearing yoga pants right now because nothing else fits me. I went to walmart and got a few pairs of yoga pants two weeks ago so I wouldnt have to keep tugging up the maternity jeans I was wearing before. I have been feeling really bad about my appearance lately though and figured an outfit that actual fit me would maybe make me feel a bit better. Well I found out real quick that I am not a size 14 or a size 16... Turns out I am now a size 18! I did not perceive myself as being that big again. I know its a far cry from the size 26 I was a few years ago but my mind had finally adjusted to being a size 8. Even though I know that I will get back there fast and my new little bundle of joy was worth it, I still cant help but be a little sad about it.
Long story short, Marshall's had two pairs of size 18 jeans that were on sale :-( ... One pair was skinny jeans, which I didnt really want and the other pair was still like $30 on sale. Between $10-$15 is all I am willing to spend on a pair of jeans I dont plan on being in for very long. So I left empty handed and still in Yoga pants. Sigh.
I got back home around noonish and was starving. I made lunch for my family and then made myself lunch. After that it was pretty much just business as usual. Nothing really eventful happened just feedings and diaper changes and quite a bit of TV watching. I had a good day though, I got some stuff accomplished in the morning, I got some time to myself and some activity in which really helped with the stress level which means less yelling at the kids, and I did really well with my eating and tracked everything.
Only thing missing was a good nights rest. I have not had one of those in so long. sigh. small steps.
Lunch - Turkey sandwich on gluten free bread with pea shoots and cranberry mustard. 1 cup fresh pineapple. 1 mozzarella cheese stick. - 8 points
Snack: apple - 0 pts
snack: kozy shack pudding - 4 pts
snack: grape fruit cup - 0pts
Dinner: 3 gluten free crispy chicken tacos with light blue cheese dressing and lettuce, steamed broccoli, brown and wild rice with veggies - 13 pts.
After dinner I was really hungry and I knew what I had planned (a gluten free cookie with ice cream) would not fill me up so I decided to eat a plate of veggies before hand just to add something else to my stomach before eating the treat I had planned.
snack: veggies & 1 tbls light ranch - 1pt
snack: Fresh baked gluten free cookie topped with vanilla ice cream - 7 pts.
(I have come to the realization that I cant bake a whole pack of gluten free cookie dough or I will eat all 12 cookies within one day. I now keep the pack in a freezer bag in the freezer and only pull out 1 ball of cookie dough on the night I plan on eating it. This has worked really well for me and gives me the chance to eat something I really really like without going overboard.)
A good day!
This is just a general outline of my goal for meals and workouts for the next couple of days. I figure on Tuesday I will reassess what the food in the house looks like and come up with another few days worth of meals. I have not really planned meals in the past year because I find it to be time consuming. I have to say its one of my least favorite things to do but it also helps me a lot so I need to reintroduce it.
I am also planning my workouts for the next few days. I am going to try to be specific in not only what I am going to do but also when I am going to do it on that day. That way maybe I can avoid getting all the way to bedtime and saying "oh crap, I never worked out"... I am keeping my workouts light because I have yet to go to my post pregnancy doctors appt. Even though I feel pretty good I want to get the green light from my doctor at my appt. on Tuesday before I bump up the intensity.

Well last year was mostly filled with being pregnant and it actually went by very quickly. Here I am in 2013 and I am a new mommy again for the 3rd time and very happy. My pregnancy went well, better than the other two by 100%. I attribute that to starting at a healthy weight this time.
I was due to have my little one on Jan 5th 2013 but as it happened he wanted out early and I had him at 37 weeks on December 18th 2012. What a great labor and delivery! I did have about 4 days of prelabor symptoms but on the morning of the 18th when labor actually started it was quick. I started having contractions at 6am in the morning and by 11am I was pushing my little boy out. Everything went great, I hardly had any bleeding, I was up walking around in a few hours and home the next day.
Its now almost 6 weeks later and I am trying to get back to my healthy lifestyle. I did slack quite a bit during my pregnancy, especially during my 1st trimester because I had some pretty wicked morning sickness and wanted to constantly eat bread to settle my stomach. I ended up gaining like 25 lbs just in the first few weeks. Its been a pretty good 5 weeks. I have felt much better than I did after having my other two kids. I have been up and running around and havnt had the horrible mood swings and constat pain I had before. I am sooo happy I was at a healthy place before having little archer. :-) ... I have had some stress here and there. Breast feeding was going the best it ever had gone. Archer latched on like a pro, but he wasnt gaining any weight after all my best attempts. I ended up putting him exclusivly on formula and he started gaining weight. Made me sad and pretty stressed out but Im just happy he is good now.
Now I am just trying to get into a good routine again which is not the easiest thing with a new born.
I went back to weight watchers 4 weeks post baby and ended up losing 4.4 lbs the first week but then I got sick. I got really really sick. I have been sick for the past 2 and a half weeks with bronchitis. After two separate trips to the doctor and 2 different anti-biotics and a prescription of steroids I am finally starting to feel better. I'm still sick but I don't feel like I'm going to die at least. I haven't been back to weight watchers yet since I got sick but I am pretty sure I gained back everything I had lost and maybe plus some because of the medications I was on. The home scale has not been kind.
I have to just move past that though because there was nothing I could do about being on the medication and I am better off for it even though I gained some weight on it.
But anyway, I am hoping to be more active with spark people again. I miss my spark friends and the support I had before and I miss blogging... even though its an inconvenience to get on the computer. (I pretty much do everything I do online from my smart phone now).
I am also looking forward to winter being over! I hate winter so much. When will spring get here. I hate being in the house and its hard enough to get out and about with a newborn and a 4 year old, let alone go out with them when the high of the day is 33 degrees. Its too cold to be outside and I feel all shut up here in the house. I am so looking forward to spring!
For your viewing pleasure some pictures of my beautiful life which has gotten even better in the last 6 weeks. I am truly blessed.
Me a few days before having Archer
Archer Quinn ~ born at 37weeks @ 7lbs 5oz
New years eve with my new little guy
Aiden Xaviar, Lyra November & Archer Quinn. My biggest reason to stay healthy.
Good morning spark friends!
wow its been a pretty long time since I have blogged or really have been active at all on spark people. Its been a pretty rough few weeks. For all of you who don't know I am now nearing the end of my first trimester of pregnancy with baby #3. I found out that I was pregnant at about week 4 and had very high hopes, plans, dream ect to have the most healthy pregnancy in the history of pregnancy and only gain the recomended 20-25lbs or whatever. I felt great and had a ton of energy, drank tons of water, took my vitamin ate vegetables like they were going out of style. mushrooms, spinach, kale, salads, beans, fruits.... My plate was a rainbow! Unlike my previous 2 pregnancies I wasnt nauseous at all! It was so great.
Well fast forward to week 6 when the morning sickness (ie. all day sickness) hits and all I want to do is lay in the bed while I drink gingerale and eat nothing but white gluten free bread and mashed potatoes. Things were very bad and I was very green.
the thought of a fruit or vegetable makes me want to puke... in fact the thought of any food makes me want to puke so I stick to all things that are white and relitively odorless and tasteless.
Week 7-8... I am hungry all day long. I can eat more than white food but vegetables still make me want to gag. I am eating a lot of junk food! ::hangs head:: My stomach looks like I am 5 months pregnant all ready and I wonder if I am having twins.
I get my 8 week ultrasound and there is only one baby. I realize that my stomach looks the way it does because I am very constipated from lack of fruit and vegetables and an excess of junk food.
week 9... eating every 2 hours or I will get sick. I am trying my best to eat fruit. Vegetables are getting a bit less gross but Im loving fruit. Eating prunes and drinking tons of juice to try and keep my digestion normal. My stomach doesnt look 5 months pregnant anymore I just look fat now. Water tastes really weird to me even when its been through the brita so I start making lemonaid and tea with real sugar.... omg.
Week 11 -
well now I am currently in week 11. I feel much much better. I am hardly sick now and have a lot more energy. vegetables are seeming more appealing every day and I am really trying to fix the damage that has been done over the last few weeks. I look swollen and hate looking in a mirror. I dont look pregnant yet I just look fat. I am just bigger everywhere and I find it amazing that there can be so much change in such a short amount of time and really not that much weight gained. when I found out I was pregnant I was 4 weeks pregnant and weighed 162 pounds and currently I weight about 171. So 9 lbs. I know that is way more than I am suppose to gain in the first trimester but I wouldnt think its horrible.
I am really trying to get back to my original mind set of having a really healthy pregnancy. I dont want to gain so much that losing it afterwards seems like an impossible task... although I know I would not be where I started when I started losing weight after lyra was born.... I would like to not get over 200 lbs durring this pregnancy though.
I need to start exercising again and I need to start tracking my food again. Not to lose but just to stay on track and not get too out of control. When you are having chocolate covered bacon cravings you know you really need to watch yourself.
I hope to reconnect with spark people so maybe I can have some sense of accountability to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I'm disappointed in myself for slipping back into old habits of over eating and eating junk. sigh. Its amazing how easy it is to slip back, especially when you are not in an actively trying to lose mind set. Every day is part of the journey though, even when you know the scale is destined to go up, for a very good reason.
my plans for a healthy day today are to workout for 20 - 30
drink at least 8+ glasses of water
eat lots of fruit and vegetables
& track what I eat

some pictures of the last few weeks
trip to myrtle beach w friends... this is obviously when I conceived. I guess its true about going on vacation and relaxing and letting nature take its course yadayada.
after only 3 months of trying ... yay
so cute... makes you wonder how you could love another when you love the first two so much. :-) ... but I wondered the same thing when I had lyra and found that love is not one size fits all... it just grows and grows.
seeing baby for the first time. ultrasound tech must have gotten better in the last 4 years because I dont remember them being this good with lyra. can see head, body and even a little foot. :-)
so happy. :-)
well its been a learning process the last few weeks and I think I am finally into a gluten free swing, which is good. I have a few go to gluten free meals and I am still also experimenting with new things.
Something that I think has really helped me with this is my kitchen is almost completely gluten free now. My husband and children have been really supportive of this (have not complained). I have been making my husband salads or leftovers for lunch at work and I have been making my son pepperoni and cheese quesadillas made from corn tortillas or sandwiches on gluten free bread (only a few days a week since it is pricey). I was making them both sandwiches on whole wheat bread every day and I noticed that the crumbs got everywhere and even when I tried to be really careful I would end up making my self sick by accident.
The only thing I bought this week that contains gluten was some crackers for my sons lunch which are prepackaged so I dont have to worry about them.
I think I have gotten over the grief stage of all of this. I was sick of feeling sorry for myself so I am glad that is over. Im sure it will pop up here and there again sometime but overall I feel pretty good.
I had a very disapointing appointment with a nutritionist the first week of this month. I figured that maybe she would give me some meal plans, or some helpful tips for shopping ect... but instead all she did was suggest I eat quinoa and give me a 3 page printout from e-how on celiac disease. OMG, that kinda made me mad considering that my insurance money (which I only get about 1000 for the whole year for my whole family) is going to get hit for over $100 for something on ehow! She dident even seem like she knew much about what was going on with me at all.
I asked her when I could add dairy back in because I was lactose intolerant on top of celiac and I had read that celiac disease caused lactose intolerance and alot of times once your intestines healed you could eat dairy again.
She said that cheese and yogurt didnt really have lactose so I could eat them now.
I added back dairy in the form of yogurt and cheese and felt like crap for about a week so I decided to cut them out again and now I feel better. I will try dairy again in 6 months or so.
Anyway enough ranting about crappy doctors. I have had a really great 2 weeks of meals. I havnt really been unsatisfied with anything I have eaten. although I dont know about last nights meal, which is not pictured here. It was polenta lasagna with soy cheese and tofu ricotta. it was .... interesting. Not bad but not great. I think it may take some tweaking.
lots of tastey sandwiches on gluten free bread. sucks that each slice is 150 calories a peice though. Gluten free baked goods are so high in calories.
reeeealy been loving the white chicken chili
my normal go to breakfast of gluten free oatmeal & berries has been replaced this week by ------------->
Quinoa topped with bacon bits, veggie mozzarella & fried egg.... OMG so good and so filling. You can make up a few servings ahead of time and keep them in the fridge in tupperwear.
tastey but super high in calories and very pricey. a weekend treat.
turkey and black bean tacos. I like this meal because I dont have to do much different then I did before I had to eat gluten free. I just have to make sure my taco shells and refried beans are gluten free and all of old el paso products state on the label if they contain ingriedents that have gluten. Their taco shells and refried beans are gluten free! yay.
cookies & chocolate chip blondies - both made from chick peas. They are so good and my husband and kids love them. I have even told my kids they are made from beans (3&6 years old) and they still eat them. You just grind up the chick peas in a food processor and then add the other ingredients and either roll into cookie shapes or spread in a pie plate and bake ( I lined my pie plate with parchement paper for easy removal and clean up ) .... I think I prefer the pie plate method rather than the cookie method now that I have tried both.
recipe courtesy of Chocolate Coverd Katie - chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/05/18/chocolate-chip-blondies-and-theyre-good-for-you/
thai peanut rice noodles, asian veggies, & sticky rice balls. This was good but it made me really sick. The rice had been stored in a cabinet that had flour in it previously and I think it got contaminated somehow. it was good though.
grilled tilapia with dill, spaghetti squash & green salad with avocado & italian dressing
joes crab shack frozen meal - one of the only frozen meals I have found that is gluten free, good on calories, and does not cost an arm and a leg. This was only about 6 bucks for a 2 serving size meal. paired with Alexia sweet potato fries.
frozen banana ice cream - quick easy and good ... only problem is your eyes see vanilla and your mouth sees banana. .... I really wanted it to be vanilla but it was banana. lol.
just take 1 1/2 frozen bananas and blend them together with a small amount of almond milk or milk. yummy and easy and if you are on weight watchers you dont have to count it because fruit is zero points!
I ate a lot more food than this is the past two weeks but this is mostly all I captured on film. I will try and do better this coming week.
~ Jess

good breakfast buffet and friendly staff
totally charmless rooms and useless wifi
Staff were extremely helpful.neat and clean.
The hotel was easily reached from the A75 motorway in Millau. The room was comfortable, the bed was medium/firm, the toilet was separate from the bathroom and there was good storage [a walk in wardrobe!]. The breakfast was average but there was plenty of choice of breads, yoghurts and jams. The reception staff were helpful in supplying a town plan and advice on restaurants.
There was no extractor fan for the toilet and bathroom and no window for ventilation [to allow steam to escape while showering]. The wallpaper in both the bathroom and shower room was peeling away from the walls at ceiling level, I suspect due to the lack of ventilation.
Staff and location. Free on-site parking and good wifi. A short stroll from the centre of Millau.
Road noise making for a disturbed night's sleep. Hotel décor tired in places.
- Room and bathroom were very clean - Breakfast was great and good value - Staff were friendly - Room was double-glazed and didn't hear any noise from other guests - Closed car parking
- Minimalist decoration, reminded me of my university halls of residence! - More of a hostel than a hotel, but that said, great value if you're passing through
Location and staff
Dated, noise
Room is clean and as a cheaper hotel is fair value for money. It was handy to have free private parking
WiFi would not work in any area of the hotel. Room very dated. We stayed at a time when the temperature was 29 degrees and the lack of air con made the room less comfortable. A fan was supplied but too noisy to use and sleep at the same time
The location was good as was breakfast along with good safe parking area.
Place was a little too expensive for the accommodation as it was a bit worn round the edges and in need of a upgrade.
Loved the main hall way decoration. Art Deco style - very cool. Room was a good size, basic but with adequate facilities. Parking good, and an easy stroll into the main centre.
Internet connection wasn't good.
Just a room for the night!! With secure parking
The room was nothing special
Location ideal for what we wanted to do. Excellent Wi-Fi. Room comfortable,and liked that toilet was separate from bathroom.
Hotel was adequate as a base to tour the area that we wanted to see.
Friendly and welcoming staff, clean and good value for overnight stay.
Wifi a bit unreliable, no restaurant
Bed was bad
Very friendly staff, Convenient location (10 minutes walk into centre) and a good secured parking for the car.
We paid 40 euros, but in peak season this room would be around 70 euros. That is too much for this old hotel, especially because the bed wasn't that good (ok for one night) and the bathroom is very outdated and narrow.
Very friendly receptionist. The room was spacey and had solid internal walls so it was quiet and night.
Lovely owner, fun with my French / her English!
It's pretty expensive for what is a very basic hotel. Quite a walk from Millau centre.
it had a private place to park your car.
No lift and we were on the 2nd floor.
Clean bed and a clean room. Great place to stay for one night. Located at the crossroads, and some travellers may not like the noise of passing cars. Responsible staff. Fast Wi-Fi.
The location was good
The decor was a little dated however still clean and comfortable
price & cleanliness
secure carpark that wasn't locked. the secure gate was open all night
The owner was quite helpful with the information about the town and restaurants. Private parking was one of the reasons we chose this hotel.
Lovely staff, very polite, nice clean rooms, excellent price.

I am stuck! I have an Ida Christine Hiltz, born 1844 Sweden, died 1924, Boston, MA. married to a John Wyman in Massachusetts. I was always under the impression that she was Ida Christine Dahlgren but am now beginning to think that Ida Dahlgren was her mother. I have a picture on which it is hand written Ida Christine Dahlgren and I had been assuming that she was the one married to John Wyman. I have recently gotten her marriage record and she is listed as Hiltz. The name Christine is said to have been used in every generation for over 200 years so there could easily have been 2 Ida Christine's (her daughter was Ada Christine). Ada told me a story about her grandmother living in Minnesota after coming from Sweden and that she went to town in a horse and wagon and a storm came up and she was never found.
Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

OAK BEACH, NY (WPIX)—Blue is the reason detectives are one step closer to finally catching a serial killer.
"Missing persons called us out on Saturday to follow up on an investigation on a missing person," said Police Officer John Mallia.
Monday he located 3 more.
"We were quite surprised the second day when we found the second body, and then from there it was approximately 500 feet west of the first body then we conducted a more detailed search than we started going eastbound and we found the third body and ultimately the fourth body from all 500 feet of each other," said Mallia who has been working with his partner Blue for the past 7 years.
"He gives me an alert, his body motion goes where his tail is wagging," said Mallia, "If I allowed him to get that close he would scratch or try to get at the article or the item."
If you are wondering why Blue had better luck this time than he did in the summer, it's because the brush is down and there are less scents in the air and on the ground. The find is meaningful for both Blue and his partner.
"I hope I gave closure to four families and I was glad to do my job," said Mallia.
Blue isn't finished, he's still working Tuesday on the crime scene in Oak Park to make sure nothing was missed.

Black wool pencil skirt from Vogue pattern 8640. I used the tutorial on the Cupcake Goddess' blog to adjust the darts and the fit to make sure that it looked and fitted like a proper pencil skirt and not just a sack. I also followed her brilliant tutorial on putting in a back vent rather than a split.
The pattern didn't include a lining but I drafted a lining and added some racy black lace round the bottom to finish it off!

The Apostle Paul visited the Galatian region of Asia Minor, now Turkey, on his first missionary journey. While subsequent visits by faithful missionaries had helped to build the congregations in the region, false teachers who wanted to combine Christianity with Jewish practices had come to Galatia and were leading the people into a false understanding of the Christian message. Paul therefore wrote the congregations in Galatia to explain why they needed to get back on the right track to be saved.

'Media, ad agency to be under one roof'
December 10, 2005
Ravi Balakrishnan , TNN
MUMBAI: Jacques Seguela, chief creative officer and vice-chairman of the Havas Group, has several plans for Euro RSCG, the flagship agency brand of the marketing communications conglomerate, but the most significant of these turns conventional wisdom on its head. He says, "We will bring media inside and totally integrate it with the agency. We want to be the first group to put both in the same place, at the same office, under the same management. " This will mean the integration of Euro RSCG with MPG or Media Planning Group, its independent media unit.
Euro star rising
February 21, 2007
N Shatrujeet
The incredulity, which typically greeted the news that Euro RSCG Worldwide was Campaign magazine's pick for Advertising Network of the Year for 2006 bordered on the comical. What must have particularly jarred industry observers and Euro RSCG baiters was the fact that the much-admired Bartle Bogle Hegarty and BBDO were titleholders in 2004 and 2005, respectively. And if that wasn't galling enough, the fact that Euro had edged past BBDO and the effervescent Wieden + Kennedy to claim pole position must have forced many to do a double take and question the collective wisdom at Campaign.
From how to secure funds to sustainability, delegates at African summit heard it all

NEW DELHI: Virgin Atlantic founder Richard Branson has one regret he may find it hard to live down: his assumption that he could knock Coca Cola to world's No. 2 soft drink by launching Virgin Cola. "It taught me that if you have to take on someone bigger, you have got to be much better," he says. Branson's lesson was a disguised tip for budding entrepreneurs at the annual One Young World summit in Johannesburg this month. From offering advice on how to be an entrepreneur to getting more sleep for success and even discussions around leadership and sustainability, business leaders like Branson, Unilever CEO Paul Polman and chair, president and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post media group Arianna Huffington congregated in the South African city to mentor and interact with potential young leaders.

Love Beyonce's 'Flawless (Remix)' featuring Nicki Minaj? Then get ready to hear their latest collaboration, 'Feeling Myself'!
Back in 2010, rapper Earl Hayes allegedly released a mixtape called 'The First 48,' and on it is a song called 'Suicide' — and its contents are incredibly disturbing.

pretty good. it's too bad the family hasn't had closure on what really happened
A docudrama exposing the shoddy and biased police, prosecutors and the judge in the 1993/1994 gruesome murder case. The "pipe crossing" in the movie looked authentic and similar to the picture in the book with caption: "Detectives stand on a pipe across the ditch where the victims' bodies were found submerged. The boys' bicycles had also been pulled from the stream."
I was not aware of the history of this story/case. Not as well developed as it could have been as there appear to be a disconnect somewhere in the story line. It was not clear who the PI was working for or why. Colin Firth was miscast for sure - a Brit with a southern drawl? Reese Whitherspoon was good as the distraught mother.
I had read the book before seeing the movie. The movie is quite factual, although it leaves out a great deal of the information discovered about the background of one of the father's, which I thought was very important to the whole case and to showing how the police and prosecutors were so very biased and simply totally mishandled this case.
Very flat movie. None of the angst or fear or rage of the mother or PI was sigificantly conveyed. Felt like a TV movie of the week, with the typical Hollywood quick wrap it all up in a tidy ending.
Atmospheric melodrama. The balance of creative licence versus historical accuracy wavers back and forth.

Ron: That's right, Magggie. When I see something like this happen, when I see a town lose three of its children, and they sacrifice three more for revenge, then I do take it personally.
Ron: But if these three boys are innocent, would you want three families to lose their children too?

Kardinal Offishall - Get It In (B4 I Go)
Artist: Kardinal Offishall
Producer: Nottz
Album: A.M.T.R.I.M (Allow Me To Re-Introduce Myself)
Avg Rating: 2.6 ( 7 votes )
What motivates Kardinal Offishall to keep murdering mics on the daily? Nothing more and nothing less than the satisfaction of another beat blazed. As the T-Dot heavyweight puts it on his latest single selection, "I just wanna Get It In (B4 I Go)" Here, Nottz serves up a gritty street instrumental to back Kardinal as he flexes his creative muscles in hard-hitting verses. Like what you're hearing? Then keep it locked; A.M.T.R.I.M (Allow Me To Re-Introduce Myself) currently lacks a drop date, but we'll keep you supplied with all the latest news and tunes.

Stripping for tuition isn't just a joke: it's the best possible way to solve a big financial problem, as many college undergrads like Heidi Mattson have discovered. In Mattson's autobiography, Ivy League Stripper, narrator Anna Lathrop takes listeners on-stage at the strip club, allowing them to experience what it's like to doff clothes for cash. Beginning from Mattson's stable childhood and culminating in her graduation from Brown, Ivy League Stripper provides a well-rounded picture of a driven young woman who made a practical choice - to show a little skin to ensure she made the grade.
Heidi Mattson successfully united sex and scholarship to realize a '90s version of the American Dream by becoming a smart, sassy, self-confident stripper while attending Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Intelligent and ambitious, she grew up in small-town Maine, and her whole town applauded when Brown accepted her. But school and living expenses carried a high price tag - one she couldn't meet by waiting tables and cleaning houses. A chance ad brought her to The Foxy Lady, a strip club in Providence not far from campus. Swearing she would stay only as long as she didn't feel compromised, she soon became one of the club's top attractions. In this engrossing story, Mattson tells us how she did it, how it felt to strip, how it affected her life, and about her peers, colleagues, and the men who frequented the strip clubs. Her story sets the record straight about the world of stripping, a world that she describes with candor, affection, and warmth.

To all my dearest friends
I really don't know where to put this or even how to begin. I am fighting a spiritial battle at the moment and it all started with Romania and its animals. I stopped praying because I believe that God created all animals, as he did humans, yet He has turned His back on their plight on this earth. They are without sin, without a voice, defenceless against us humans, yet God does not help them. You all have a right to your opinions, but in my last prayer I asked God to show me this one miracle in helping these animals in Romania, and then i would believe that He exists. I have just read that we lost!!!! Cry, cry, cry - I cannot even begin to tell you how heartbroken and devastated I am, how angry I am at God (if he exists), how angry I am at the sub humans in this country, I am angry beyond belief, and I am being totally consumed by my hatred for them. I cannot go on after this, I can literally feel the pain and suffering these poor animals feel and will feel at the hands of savage, barbaric rubbish sob who don't deserve to be on earth. And for my own health's sake, the less I know, the better. So, I am taking leave of Care2 for a while, until I can gather my thoughts in a rational way again. None of you will have any idea what impact this whole debacle has had on my life. I am pretty sure you all feel the same - but in a way I am different, my frustration just rises because I cannot get to these wicked evil bastards and beat them back to hell. Even all our voices did not help them, shame, I just want to cry myself to death. You are all amazing, precious people and I will miss you all but I know you will continue fighting for our precious animals - take care and love all of you!

Action Axiom
Definition: An action axiom is an axiom that embodies a criterion for recommending action. Action axioms are of the form "If a condition holds, then the following should be done".
This term is used in Murray Rothbard's Austrian Epistemology. It is basically a starting point, or the beginning of an action. It is explained better by Rothbard when he describes Mises' Praxeology, I believe it was in his book "Man, Economy, and the State".

Round sardinella
|Round sardinella
|Scientific classification
|S. aurita
|Binomial name
|Sardinella aurita
Valenciennes, 1847
Round sardinella (Sardinella aurita) is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Sardinella. It is found in both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. [1]
Sardinella aurita went through a large boom in catch population around 1990. However, its numbers have been very stable through the last several years. They averaged 1.3 tonnes per trip over the last four years.[2] S. aurita prefers warm waters. It is a small pelagic species that lives in tropical and subtropical waters of the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Mediterranean and, occasionally, the Black Sea. The gonads start to develop in April and are fully mature one month later. Plankton in spawning regions are full of eggs and larva from the end of June into September.[3]
Diagnostic features[edit]
Sardinella aurita has a particularly elongate body, a relatively rounded belly, and a large number of fine gill rakers (up to 160). This is one of the largest Sardinella species, averaging 23 to 28cm. It has Sardinella eight pelvic fin rays. It has fronto-parietal stripes on the top of its head, a faint golden midlateral line, and a distinctive black spot on the hind border of the gill cover. It is often caught along with Sardinella longiceps, and the two are not easily distinguished.[1]
The fish prefers shallower waters of around 24°C. It reaches depths of 350 m. It is a schooling fish that feeds on phytoplankton and zooplankton such as copepods.[1]
There are fisheries for this species off of the West African coast, in the Mediterranean Sea, and along the coasts of Venezuela and Brazil. Fishery numbers in 1983 totaled 1,983,000 tons.[1]

Awoke to singing birds outside our cottage on Pine Mountain Ridge. The Hidden Valley Inn is truly remote, quiet and peaceful!
Headed out on what can only be described as a primitive road for the 2 hour ride toward the Mayan Ruins of Caracol. Along the way we stopped and explored the Rio Frio Cave.
We were really excited to explore the ruins at Caracol. In the past we have visited Mayan ruins in Mexico (Tulum, Ek Balam and Chichen Itza), Guatemala (Tikal) and Honduras (Copan), so we knew we would enjoy it. It was hot out today, abotu 92 degrees so the ruins were nearly deserted. We were able to explore in relative peace - unless you count the howler monkeys of course!
After spending the midday in the heat - it was definitely time to cool off. We drove to the Rio On pools. Several small waterfalls and cascades perfect for splashing in!
Spent the rest of the day walking on the grounds at the inn, enjoying the flowers, reading and relaxing. Not sure what tomorrow has in store - perhaps a hike to a local waterfall.
Cheers! Hollynn
Today was our last day on Ambergris Cay. Got up and did a brief nature walk this morning - love the little rustic bridge in the picture above. It is always interesting to see different foliage and vegetation in tropical climates.
After that we headed out down the San Pedro beach for one last ride. Really enjoyed pedaling in the morning light!
At 11:00am we boarded a Tropic Air flight back to Belize City - below is a view from the plane. Caribbean water is so calming...
Picked up a rental car (Jeep Liberty) and drove an hour West to the Belize Zoo - forgive all the pics - I am an animal person and this was undoubtedly one of my favorite things from the trip so far:
Boa Constrictor
Tapir or "mountain cow" - national animal of Belize
Random lizaard on the path
Ocelot named "Oli"
River Otter
Feeding the South American Jaguar (with zookeeper permission)
Margay chilling in a tree
Colorful toucan!
Freshwater Croccodile
Petting the Central American Jaguar "Junior"
Harpy Eagle
Barn Owls
There were more animals - but those are the highlights. Interesting sidenote: all of the animals at the Belize Zoo are rescue animals or were born there. After that, we caught lunch and then drove for a few hours on bouncy dirt roads to our new hotel the Hidden Valley Inn in Mountain Pine Reserve. Got a small dinner followed by tea.
Tomorrow we are off to see Mayan ruins!
So today's photoblog will be much shorter since I started the day off with something everyone should do on vacation - snoozing in, lol! Once I finally got up I hung out reading and answering a few emails on the couch of our apartment here. Love where we are staying (Xanadu resort). It is about a mile down the beach from San Pedro, so very quiet and it gives me an excuse to walk everywhere.
Next headed out to the pool to relax a bit more - I have spent most of this vacation in a bathing suit, so I am glad I brought three...
Decided to get moving a bit more so took the double kayak out for a long journey. Given how choppy the water was today I am surprised we went as far as we did (6-7 miles) -plenty tired by the time we got back...
Got dressed up again - probably the shortest skirt I have worn in about 15 years and headed down the beach to Wild Mangos for dinner -- it was scrumptious
Finally ended the night walking around San Pedro where the "Festival of Fatima" is going on - bands every few blocks in the back of trucks (moving party) with dancers and singers...Had a large mango drink (and Ron had a dirty banana) before headed back to the apartment.
Thanks for following along on this sun soaked trip. Tomorrow we are at the beach in the morning then flying back to the mainland to pick up a rental car and head out into the Cayo. Not sure how internet will be out there but will try to keep blogging if I can. MUCH appreciation for the kind comments, compliments and accolades about the pics. For those who asked, these are from 3 sources (my iPhone, my Nikon D7000- and from my underwater Nikon shockproof coolpix).
Having a great time!
Hollynn aka SpunkyDucky
Today was our 3rd day in Belize and it was clearly time to spend some more time in the water! We got picked up at the end of our pier and headed out on a catamaran (the SEAduced) toward Caye Caulker.
First stop to snorkel was Hol Chan Marine Reserve where we snorkeled along the barrier reef seeing lots of turtle, sting rays, eagle rays, fish and even a moray eel!
Headed back onto the cat and continued on to Shark Ray Alley:
Next unto Caye Caulker where we shopped a little, enjoyed walking around and ate a lot of cerviche!
Headed back to Ambergris Cay, rum along the way! Headed back to our hotel, then dressed up to go out to dinner. Tried out my new sundress and actually felt good about how it looked.
Hope that wasn't too many pics and that you enjoyed a photo journey through my day. Lessons learned today: apply sunscreen more often in the Caribbean! You would think after 42 years of my light skin I would remember....
Have a great day - thanks for looking!
Today was our first full day in Belize on vacation, and I must say it is HEAVEN. It was about 85 degrees today, sunny skies with just a few clouds and a light breeze. We decided the first thing we wanted to do here on Ambergris Cay was get familiar with the island so we took a 2 hour walk, down the beach and through the town of San Pedro.
Headed back before lunch and rode up the beach on bikes. Stopped at the Blue Water Grill for wonderful cashew chicken salad and then continued on up the island onto the northern, relatively deserted and quiet end. Rode our bikes (free bike, kayak, snorkel gear where we are staying) for about 2 hours.
Upon getting back to our hotel we decided there was still daylight to be had and headed out in the sea kayaks for an hour. Loved it! That was probably my favorite part of the day...
Finally, we headed in and popped into the pool here at the hotel until sunset.
It was a wonderful and pretty active day! Hope you enjoyed the photos - tomorrow will be sailing to Caulker Cay on a catamaran and snorkeling. It is possible that rum will be enjoyed on the way home....

On October 31, 2014, Harris county Deputies responded to a robbery call at a gas station located in the 6900 block of Gessner. The victims say around 5:00 pm three suspects stormed the store wearing masks and carrying guns. Two of the suspects ordered everyone to get on the floor. The third suspect jumped over the service counter and pointed a gun to the clerk demanding all the money in the registers. They left in a white Ford truck.
The suspect that went behind the counter is described as a black male standing around 5'8" to 5'10". He weighed approximately 150-to-160 pounds.
If you have any information about this crime, or any other felony crime, please call Crime Stoppers at
You never have to give your name, and if your information leads to the criminal's arrest, you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
The Houston Police Department is conducting an investigation into an incident involving the apparent injury to a juvenile suspect. On Monday (Dec. 8) about 9:30 p.m., off-duty HPD officers were patrolling an apartment in the 8900 block of Glencrest when they were advised that three individuals were trespassing and had concealed themselves in a vacant apartment. When the trespassing suspects refused the officers commands to exit the vacant unit, the officers obtained assistance from an on-duty supervisor and an HPD K9 unit (police service dog).
Despite the on-scene supervisor's attempts to convince the suspects to exit the apartment and be lawfully detained, the suspects refused. HPD officers, along with a police service dog, then entered the apartment to effect detention and arrest. During an encounter with the juvenile, who was concealing herself in a bathroom, the police service dog bit the juvenile, causing injury. The juvenile received medical attention at the scene and at a local hospital for her injuries. In total, two juveniles were arrested for criminal trespassing and an adult male was arrested for an outstanding felony warrant, criminal trespassing, and possession of marijuana.
Police service dogs are used to assist officers in a number of situations, including searching for concealed suspects. This standard operating practice helps reduce the risk of use of force encounters between officers and suspects and usually does not result in serious injury to suspects or officers. This investigation will focus on the facts of the incident and will also evaluate the practice in terms of mitigating injuries to suspects and officers.
A coordinated effort among federal, state and local officials has led to the federal indictment of eight individuals for trafficking in methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana, announced U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson along with Special Agent in Charge Joseph M. Arabit of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Special Agent in Charge Robert W. Elder of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Walker County Sheriff Clint R. McRae and Huntsville Police Department Chief Kevin Lunsford.
"The arrests made this week in Huntsville and in the surrounding Walker County communities demonstrate the value of information sharing and interagency collaboration," said Arabit. "Law enforcement at the local and federal levels will continue to join together to disrupt and remove key command and control elements of criminal drug trafficking organizations responsible for the distribution of narcotics into our communities."
"These arrests in Houston and the surrounding areas exemplifies the success that can be achieved when federal, state and local agencies combine resources to eliminate suspected serious firearms and narcotics offenders from the streets," said Elder. "These results highlight the use of ATF's Frontline Model, which seeks to direct limited resources towards positive impacts on crime."
Eight people, including an officer with the Houston Police Department, were charged in a seven-count indictment returned under seal Dec. 4, 2014. They are all charged with conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana. The indictment was unsealed in its entirety today as some made appearances in federal court in Houston.
Those charged include Derryck Collins, 38, David Choate, 51, Michael Kelly, 22, and Roddrick Collins, 29, all from Huntsville, as well as Jarvis Lovelady, 33, Carlos Montemayor, 39, Javier Aguirre, 38, and Jasmine Bonner, 26, all of Houston. Bonner is a three-year veteran of the Houston Police Department.
All but Lovelady have been taken into custody and have made their initial appearances in recent days before U.S. Magistrate Judge Frances Stacy. Some will be back in federal court for their detention hearings Dec. 16, 2014, at 02:00 p.m. before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy.
Lovelady is considered a fugitive and a warrant remains outstanding for his arrest. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact authorities as follows:
DEA at 713-693-3000
Huntsville Police Department at 936-291-5480
Walker County Sheriff's Office at 936-435-2400
For Texas Southern University's famed Ocean of Soul Marching Band, the year is ending pretty much the same way it began – with a big band Bang! The famed band was on hand to play for the premiere opening of popular entertainer/comedian Kevin Hart at his opening at the Edwards IMAX in Katy, Texas. Hart got into the grove and made a few cool moves to the sounds of the Ocean. He's pictured with members of the Ocean, "the motion" dancers. Earlier this year Hart made a $50,000 donation to support the band's trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Yesterday was a cool way for the band to say, "Thank You," for your support of student musicians.
It is that time of the year when all of the journalist groups come together in the city Houston.
It was the annual joint Christmas party (Jingle Bells with Journalists) that attracted dozens of working reporters and public relations reps.
Some of the organizations attending the event included the Society of Professional Journalists, Houston Association of Black, Hispanic, and Asian Journalists along with the Houston Press Club.
The Wednesday night event was held at the Houston Print Museum in midtown.
Some very familiar faces attended the party that also served as a fundraiser for young future journalists here in the community.
Here are some of the photos I snapped at the big event!
METRO's newly appointed Police Chief Vera Bumpers is inviting the public to meet her officers and bring a donation that will enhance the life of patients in treatment at the county's busy psychiatric hospital. Chief Bumpers, who has been with the force for more than 30 years, is making staff available to meet the public and accept donations destined for the UTHealth Harris County Psychiatric Center (UTHCPC) patients.
"Our officers understand – from everyday experiences – the necessity of mental health services for all our constituents. What we hope to accomplish with our meet-up and collection drive is familiarize the public with our police force, and support an agency that provides vital services to thousands of families regardless of their circumstances," said Chief Bumpers, the first African-American and first female to lead the agency's police force.
Officers, including Chief Bumpers, will be on-hand to accept new items such as:
Personal hygiene products (non-aerosol only)
T-shirts and socks
Sneakers (size 7 and up)
Dominos and playing cards
Crossword puzzles and coloring books
Supplies collected on Wednesday, Dec. 17 at the Texas Medical Center Transit Center (6910 Fannin at Pressler) between 7 and 9 a.m. will be given to UTHCPC staff and volunteers for patient use.
The Factor has learned there is a secret industry in Houston those involved don't want you to know about.
It's pigeon hunting and sales.
The Factor ran into a man in downtown Houston near Metro headquarters who had multiple cages and a large net hitched to his truck.
This man, who didn't want the story out, said there is a market for pigeon sales all over Texas.
The guy tells me he goes around the city catching pigeons then he sells them on the open market.
The man, who says he didn't want the story out because he didn't want competition, sells the city birds for $3 each to buyers.
He says what the buyer uses the pigeons for varies from research to hunting.
Who knew?
Members and staff of the Houston Police Officers' Union celebrated Tuesday night with a kick off of the holidays.
The group held its annual Christmas party where they welcomed police officers, deputies, prosecutors, and politicians from around the city.
The event began with cocktails and ended with dinner for the guests in attendance.
HPOU represents more than 5000 police officers in Houston!
A Houston man has learned the hard way you shouldn't take animals you don't own.
Investigators with the Houston Police Department say they have arrested 21 year old Tyriel Turner for stealing a horse.
Prosecutors say he pulled up to a woman's home on Madera in a van and loaded up the victim's bridles, car wash machine, and a full horse.

'Tis better to give than receive, and for Spring dentist Dr. Emily Graham, giving is a way of life. Each year, Dr. Graham performs numerous international mission trips to help to Central and South America treating underprivileged children and adults, offers free services and discounts to our nation's troops, veterans and families as part of Freedom Day USA, and regularly finds a way to assist those in need in our area. On Friday, Dec. 12, Dr. Graham will reach out to community for a day of complimentary, basic dental care in the true spirit of giving for her seventh annual Unto the Lord Day.
"I have been so blessed with the talents that God has given me and I am so grateful that I can use those talents, along with my colleagues, to help others. In this joyful season, it is so rewarding to celebrate our ability to give others the gift of good health and happiness," said Graham.
Dr. Graham's office will open from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Unto the Lord Day. Dr. Graham and her staff will work with approximately 25 to 30 Houston-area dentists. These are dentists who take a day off from their own practices or retired dentists who feel compelled by the spirit of the season. Based on previous years, it is anticipated that this small group of dentists will provide services to 250 patients. In the past, community members have lined up as early as 3:30 a.m. to ensure that they get seen.
According to Graham, there are no qualifications for Unto the Lord Day. Dr. Graham and her colleagues perform complimentary cleanings, extractions and take care of their patients most pressing dental concerns – all for free.
"It is amazing to serve so many people in our community who really need our help," said Graham. "We are so blessed to be able to give back to individuals and make positive impact in their lives."
