Corridor Store Bouncing Back After Break-In
HIAWATHA, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28)--One corridor store is getting back on its feet after being burglarized.
Farmer's daughters market in Hiawatha was broken into two weeks ago.
The owner says she's now taking several precautionary measures.
While nothing major was stolen from the store, the owner says the break in took away her peace of mind.
Something she's now working to get back.
"I couldn't even walk in. I was so scared because I knew when I pulled into the drive way that something wasn't right, said Jennifer Goodlove, owner of Farmers Daughters Market.
It's a feeling Jennifer Goodlove says she doesn't want to experience again.
"I saw footprints walking all the way down to the driveway. And another set of footprints walked all the way around the perimeter, she said, but there was an even bigger surprise waiting as she walked closer to her store.
"When I walked up to the door, this was all busted out. Everything all the glass went all the way back to the walking cooler back here."
Jennifer says it was $1,300 in damage for a cash register with little money inside.
"They might have got less than a hundred bucks, she said.
We spoke with Hiawatha Police about the crime and they say "as of right now this is still a developing investigation."
Jennifer has already put some safety measures in place.
"We've put in a whole new security system. Weve upgraded the lights outside and we have to do some more motions detectors as well, she said.
Expensive steps she hopes will stop something like this from happening in the future. As for the people behind it: The first thing that they make a mistake on is that they start bragging about what they did, Jennifer said. So I'm sure they'll get caught.
Jennifer is urging anyone with information about the break in to call Hiawatha police or the Linn County Sheriff's office.

The Most Popular Valentine's Day Candy Is…
No, it's not chocolate. The best-selling Valentine's Day candies are those sweet and chalky little conversation hearts, simply known as Sweethearts. Daniel Chase, the brother of New England Confectionery Company (NECCO, as in the wafers) founder Oliver Chase, began printing sayings on candy in the 1860s, but the conversation hearts that we know today date back to 1902 when the company printed sayings on candy shapes including postcards, baseballs, horseshoes, and watches. Here are some other fun facts about the candy hearts:
-NECCO makes approximately 100,000 pounds of Sweethearts between late February to mid-January. The entire amount produced during that time, more than 8 billion candy hearts, sells out in six weeks!
-For many years, NECCO added ten new saying each year, usually with some sort of theme like animals ("Puppy Love," "Bear Hug"), food ("Sugar Pie," "Honey Bun"), and even the weather ("Cloud Nine," "Heat Wave").
-In 2010, for the first time in 145 years, the company created a new line of conversation hearts with expressions selected by the public. The most popular of those newer sayings are "Tweet Me," "Text Me," "You Rock," "Love Bug," "Soul Mate," and "Me + You."
-Of course, there are still some classics that have stood the test of time like "Be Mine," "Be Good," "Kiss Me," "Sweet Talk," and "True Love." But if you want to get some of the old sayings that are no longer produced, or you'd like to have some custom made for a special event, you'll have to buy a full production run of 1.7 million candy hearts!

CSX J&L Tunnel Project Earns Two Engineering Awards
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX) today announced that its J&L Tunnel Modification Project in Pittsburgh has won the Project of the Year Award from the Engineers' Society of Western Pennsylvania (ESWP) and the Diamond Award for Engineering Excellence from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Pennsylvania (ACEC/PA). These awards recognize the J&L Tunnel Project's safe completion, sustainability, cost-effectiveness and community benefits.
Completed in late 2013, the J&L Tunnel Project increased the vertical clearance of a 130-year-old tunnel running through Pittsburgh's SouthSide Works, a mixed-use residential and commercial development. CSX worked closely with public officials, local businesses and residents to minimize noise and disruption during construction. Upon completion of the tunnel work, CSX restored trees and plantings, and invested in landscaping improvements which left the overlying Tunnel Park a more usable recreational space.
"The J&L Tunnel Project is a great example of CSX's commitment to invest in infrastructure that supports American businesses and growth while respecting the communities in which we operate," said Randy Cheetham, regional vice president, CSX Transportation. "We have a long history in the Pittsburgh community, and are proud to invest here to keep the Pittsburgh region moving for many years to come."
The J&L Tunnel Project is part of CSX's National Gateway, a public-private partnership to create a double-stack freight rail corridor between Mid-Atlantic seaports and the Midwest. Through the National Gateway, CSX continues to invest in infrastructure projects that support expected increases in intermodal freight rail traffic.In Pittsburgh, CSX recently unveiled a $50 million proposal to redevelop the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie (P&LE) Railroad Yard in McKees Rocks and Stowe Township into a new intermodal rail facility. In Washington, D.C., CSX is working closely with local and federal authorities to evaluate alternatives for the more than 100-year-old Virginia Avenue Tunnel, a major chokepoint on the nation's rail network. The J&L Tunnel was constructed in the 1880s as part of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad line to allow trains beneath the former J&L Steel Company's Pittsburgh Works Southside facility. Today, the tunnel is an important component of CSX's freight rail infrastructure and a critical transportation link for the Pittsburgh regional economy. The ESWP Project of the Year Award aims to advance the professions of engineering, architecture and applied sciences through its activities and commitment to public service, recognizing four exemplary projects across the state each year. The J&L Tunnel Project earned the award in the Commercial category for its safety, cost-effectiveness, and ability to deliver long-term economic benefits to the local community. The Diamond Awards for Engineering Excellence from the ACEC/PA celebrates the achievements of member firms who have demonstrated innovation, a commitment to sustainable practices, economic value and superior client service.

"This is our family's favorite meal. I have tried it with scallops as well. The sauce is perfecly balanced and oh so rich. The bomb!!!"
"I used this same recipe last night from a southern living cookbook. I really didn't think it was all that special. My family didnt notice any difference in the meat and they all said that the skin wasn't very good (which was always their favorite part of the turkey). I was expecting a "Wow! This is really different" and just didn't get it. ..."
"These were really good! The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was because the bottom didnt hold together well for me.....crumbly. The taste was excellent and it was easy to prepare. Even better with ice cream."

CDADave: "I have a clock on my blog that counts down the minutes until the end of Bush's term. The fact that our country not only elected him, but re-elected him, REALLY depresses me."
DFO: Two names, CDADave: Al Gore, John Kerry. The Democrats didn't provide a viable choice. As out-to-lunch as Bush can be on ports, illegal aliens and the deficit, he's still easily the best of poor choices as far as I'm concerned. Mebbe the Dems should forget about their emerging poor field in '08 and draft John McCain.

Tip 459: Use Mental Imagery Before Workouts To Improve Performance
Charles Poliquin
Friday, October 19, 2012 6:13 AM
Use mental imagery before your workouts to improve your performance and get stronger. Imagery or visualization techniques are common in athletics because they can improve performance and help athletes cope with anxiety, while increasing self-confidence. A new study shows that imagery can be used with strength training in order to help you make gains in the weight room and energize your training.
A review in the Strength and Conditioning Journal describes how to use imagery to get better training results. Naturally, imagery can help you improve many aspects of your life, includingathletics, professional work, and social experience. Consider that using imagery can help you live a more excellent life because it allows you to focus your energy and avoid disengaging or mentally giving up so that you make progress every day!
For example, one study had novice weightlifters imagine that they were performing a bicep curl exercise three times a week for eight weeks. The participants did notactually do any bicep curls or any other elbow flexion training during that time. However, they still gained strength in both the elbow flexors and extensors (44 and 32 percent increase in strength, respectively). A second study found that college athletes who performed visualization before strength training had more confidence and lifted more weight in a leg press exercise than they had done before without imagery.
So how can you start to use imagery to get stronger and perform better? First, understand what imagery really means. It is defined as the use of the senses to recreate a physical experience in the mind. For example, you could use all the senses to imagine yourself deadlifting by seeing the gym in your mind's eye, smelling the chalk or gym odor, feeling the rough texture of the bar on your hands, and even trying to feel the high level of energy you would need in your arms, legs, and hands. If you do this effectively, you'll probably feel your heart rate increase and your focus narrow on the physical challenge at hand.
The following are some additional strategies you can use to employ visualization for better performance:
• Use both internal and external imagery. Internal imagery is when you see the lift from the first person as if you were performing it. External imagery is when you see the lift as if you are a coach watching the performance from multiple angles.
• The authors of the review suggest you perform preparation imagery before you get to the gym to psych yourself up for your workout. Do a pre-lift session in which you "see" themost important lifts in your head.
• Then, after performing adifficult lift, such as a maximum effort deadlift, re-imagine yourself doing it successfully. If you completed the lift, add weight to the bar in your imagination and see yourself lifting more weight or with better technique than you just did. If you failed at the lift, visualize yourselfcompletingit successfully.
• Make the image as lifelike as possible and try to perform it in real time. This means if the lift takes less than a second, like with a single power clean, you should imagine the lift taking that less than a second. If you're doing a 10-rep squat on a 4010 tempo, take the time to imagine at least one rep using 4 seconds to lower and 1 second to come up.
• Obviously, it's not practical to visualize an entire workout in real time. Get best results by going over your workout in your head from lift to lift before hitting the gym. Take five or ten additional minutes to imagine your most challenging lifts, such as personal records you plan to attempt, a new exercise, or a hard technical lift like a power snatch.
• Develop an imagery script to be used when you go for a new maximum lift or if you are learning a new, technical lift. Be sure to include task-related cues such as "chest up" or "elbows under the bar" when squatting. More detail should be used in the script if you are learning something new, whereas less is needed if you are skilled at the task.

In Mexico, The Old Is New Again
Originally published on Mon July 2, 2012 5:35 pm
By editor
The Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, is again back in power in Mexico after a 12-year hiatus. PRI candidate Enrique Pena Nieto claimed victory after exit polls showed a clear lead over his rivals in Sunday's election. The PRI ran Mexico for much of the 20th century with a mix of corruption and coercion until being ousted in an election in 2000. Pena Nieto called his victory a "fiesta of democracy."

The Networked Market
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Lying at the heart of the most common market theory - the efficient-market hypothesis - is the assumption that financial returns, including stock prices, are independent of one another. The mathematical signature of this assumption is what statisticians call the IID assumption, where stock price changes are independent of each other and drawn from identical distributions. Under these assumptions, stock price changes are randomly or log-normally distributed. Better mathematical models of the financial systems are needed as well to give the early warning of economic storms. Too much is at stake to avoid the challenge.

As animal advocates, Shedd Aquarium remains steadfast in our opposition to the inhumane slaughter of dolphins in Taiji, Japan. None of our dolphins have come from the Japanese dolphin drive hunts and we do not support, fund or acquire animals from these drives. We are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), which prohibits member institutions from acquiring animals from these drives. The AZA has urged U.S. government and representative agencies to proactively work with the government of Japan to bring an end to this practice.
If you share our concerns and want to help stop the slaughter of dolphins and whales in Japan, please write to the Prime Minister of Japan and email the Japanese Ambassador in Washington, D.C.
Dolphins at Shedd AquariumAt Shedd Aquarium, our mission is to connect our guests to the living world and inspire every person to make a difference. It's a mission we take very seriously and for more than 84 years, the animals in our care have impacted tens of millions of people as ambassadors for their species.
Shedd's state-of-the-art facilities and animal care experts are valuable resources for Shedd's conservation partners in Chicago and the world. Onsite research provides valuable information about animal biology and behavior that helps support healthy populations in the wild. Shedd's dolphins even assisted wildlife biologists in learning about the species' foraging patterns; this provided the information needed for the government to enact new laws that protected wild populations.
Three of the four Pacific white-sided dolphins currently at Shedd are more than 20 years old and have been in our care since they arrived in the early 1990s. The fourth and youngest dolphin, Sagu, was born at Shedd in May of 2012.
Find out more about how Shedd protects these beautiful animals for future generations.
Your supportMore than 2 million people visit Shedd every year, but few people will ever have the opportunity to make direct connections with dolphins in the wild. Organizations like Shedd Aquarium provide this first-hand experience and inspire visitors to support the conservation of these magnificent animals and their habitats.

Equal Energy Investigated For Possible Fiduciary Breaches By Branham Law, LLP
Branham Law, LLP is investigating the Board of Directors of Equal Energy Ltd. ("Equal Energy") (NYSE: EQU) for potential claims resulting from a recent agreement with Petroflow Energy Corporation and Petroflow Canada Acquisition Corp. Pursuant to the agreement Equal Energy shareholders will receive $5.43 in cash per owned share. The deal is valued at $230 million.
Affected investors interested in learning more about the transaction should contact Trey Branham at Branham Law, LLP at 214-722-5990 or via email at email@example.com. There is no fee or cost to you.
The investigation is focused on whether the Board of Directors fulfilled its fiduciary duties to shareholders in evaluating this transaction. This transaction appears to hold little value for shareholders as Equal Energy has recently traded at $5.50 per share (December 5, 2013) and $4.89 per share (January 2012). It appears that one of Equal Energy's largest shareholders has also expressed concerns about the company's strategic direction.

Old Faithful (Pork Chops)
I made this using a frozen vegetable mix of red peppers, onion, broccoli, and mushroom because the grocer's peppers were awful last week. I used fresh tomatoes on top of the canned ones. I used a short grained rice and doubled the rice amount and liquid. The flavor and texture of the rice was amazing. I will definitely make this again, and hopefully with the called-for ingredients. Even with the veggie shortcut, I would and will make it again. Thanks! — 9/24/2012
Baked Potato Soup
This was good, but even though I was stirring constantly, the milk scalded, so the flavor was off. Family didn't notice and loved it anyway. — cleverkt 9/24/2012
A-1 Chicken
I was fully prepared to hate this but I was really great! The beer added great flavor to the chicken and the A1, though not something that I would pair with chicken, was yummy! I did now flip the chicken because the skin was looking almost crispy and I didn't want it to get soggy. I am glad I did it that was and everyone loved it. Thanks! — dawnrw 9/24/2012

Easy Cornish Pasties
I was not sure about this one. I was worried that the kids would hate the rutabagas, and it seemed like those few ingredients would not be that good. I was pleasantly surprised. The whole family liked them a lot! I did add onion powder and garlic powder to the meat, other than that I pretty much stuck to the recipe. I added foil halfway through so the crust would not overcook. Next time I think I will use ground pork and ground beef mixed with potatoes carrots and celery. The consistency was good. It was moist and the crust was delicious. — Firebyrd 8/9/2012

Lexington mayor's office reports fires, injuries, arrests after UK loss
Updated On: Apr 08 2014 06:39:29 AM EDT
Upset University of Kentucky fans took to the streets late Monday and early Tuesday in reaction to the Wildcats' national championship loss.
From the locker room: Aaron Harrison | Andrew Harrison | Julius Randle | Dakari Johnson | Alex Poythress
Fans quickly dispersed from the Limestone Street area, but crowds continued to grow on State Street after the game ended.
A large crowd blocked State Street and a portion Elizabeth Street after the game.
The Lexington mayor's office reported 17 couch fires in the State Street area and 18 injuries by 2 a.m. Officials said most of the injuries were not serious.
Two arrests were made by 12:30 a.m.
One person was hit by a train near campus and taken to a hospital, but that person's condition has not been released.
Street sweepers planned to begin their Limestone Street cleanup at midnight.

ORCHARD PARK,N .Y. — The future of Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd in Buffalo is in serious jeopardy after the Bills announced it will not use its franchise tag on him.
The Bills had until Monday afternoon to pin the franchise tag on Byrd, which would have kept him with the Bills for one more season for just more than $8 million.
If the Bills and Byrd fail to come to a contract agreement by March 11, he will then hit the market as a free agent.
Bills general manager Doug Whaley says he remains hopeful something can be done by then.
"There's always a chance. The lines of communication are open and we believe with our offer, we'll listen to anything they want to come back with," Whaley said.
Whaley says while many fans were hoping for a tag-and-trade situation, there many moving parts that make doing that much more difficult than it might seem.

An observation on Alex Murphy
seedofdoubt Nov 25, 3:18 p.m.
Sports Legend
When Alex enters a game, he'll shoot the first time he touches the ball on offense...hasn't broke a sweat, hasn't gotten into the flow of the game...as soon as that ball leaves his hand K immediately pulls his replacement off the bench. Alex has managed 4 rebounds,1 assist, and a block during 8 mintues of play in 4 games (2 minutes a game). I am guessing if his only shots were putbacks on offensive rebounds, he would remain in the game. Got to earn that "green light".

So I've been wearing the wrong size bra for my whole life. Yep.
(We've heard this before ... on Oprah, and BL, and What Not To Wear).
And I lost 30-40 lbs since I bought most of them in my drawer. Back size WAY off -- too big.Cup size WAY off -- too small. ??
Goldilocks? Who knew. The lady at MY INTIMACY bra store, that's who. I was way vulnerable to the Aha moment and spent too much money there -- Nordstroms has wider selection in this new very odd size and at wider range of prices. Still, it was a good transition experience... for me. The girls look so different in the new bras. And with the new bras on.... VOILA I have a plane of midsection not curtained by boobage!! And the weight of the girls is held by the backstrap and not my shoulder. Pendular is as pendular does? Oh my! It's an experience... partly also because it means being more body aware... it means paying more attention to my figure... it means loveing my body and being less unconscious about covering it and decorating it. Miles I've come! And miles to go?
My bgf of many years, who knows me oh so well, reminded me yesterday evening that "You generally have difficulty with Change, Paula". It's true. I create stability -- I've made a profession of it... especially with "creative" people for whom FLUX and Change is so critical to their ongoing nurture. It's an interesting subject. And for me I believe there is more to discover in the ironies.
Giving up Clothing - even if I''m happy that it's too big -- triggers something deep inside.
I also realized that it has very much to do with How VERY difficult it was, for most of my life -- childhood on -- to find clothes that fit, and if they fit that I liked. The 'ptsd' of those experiences hasn't entirely worn off, even now that the choices for BBW's have become so vast by comparison.
So it's a weening process. An unfolding. A something something something...
to be continued and discovered and, yes, celebrated.
Yeah. That last blog was way too long. So I'm stopping here.
The only left to mention is
Plateau and scalestuckness is definitely f-ing with my peace and direction. I'm outsmarting temptation and frustration partly by declaring it. Now here too.
I love you my dear Spark Friends.
THANK YOU for All You Are and All you say and do.
Hello my friends. And, really, hello Me. Good morning. A new day. The sun rose so beautifully red pink in only one corner behind some trees at first and then spread the color like watercolor infusing gray clouds upward and upward. So very beautiful.
Smelling the coffee. Drinking the coffee. This is a check-in. I have no idea what title this blog will eventually have.
Joe's daughter is getting married Memorial Weekend. The groom and groomsmen, and some portion of the guests, will be donning kilts and prince charlie jackets. It is an evening wedding, and so we can all safely assume that it will be formal dress. They are great young people that I am only beginning to get to know -- as we see them only a day here and there as they travel from their lives teaching middle school in Washington DC and coming back to the midwest for holidays and the like. So... I'm looking forward to the event, whole heartedly and happily.
Now... here is a segue. In order to honor my enthusiasm for the authenticity and specialness of the upcoming wedding events... I am wanting to get the What Will I Wear / What Will We Wear processed and settled as much in advance as possible. I'm sure and I know that all people have advance concerns over attire fashion etc in anticipation of a wedding like this... AND I'm also sure that overweight people have additional concerns.
It is BOTH layers of this that I am experiencing. And the ALICE IN WONDERLAND history (getting bigger and getting smaller) that I think has me feeling and acting, here and there in unexpected ways, with caution or tremulation or enthusiasm or GOSH, I DON"T KNOW.
I don't know how to explain the contradictions of my feelings as I sort through my closet... partly for seasonal concerns (as I do every year) and Now also for Sizing Concerns.
In many weight losses of the past (and the point I believe IS that there have been many in the past - I have been here before ) -- In many of past weight losses, the 'getting smaller' and having clothes be too big has been exciting. So too, the trying on of saved smaller sizes has been an exercise in motivation and celebration. There is this these days, too. BUT this time ...
It took me over a decade to grow the closet of clothes that have sustained me these past many years of my adulthood, my prime. In the course of that time I learned self-acceptance and self-love, I learned from friends about how to enjoy shopping (and let go of the 'even at my size' critque). In my current closet are many styles and sizes within 18-22 range. I've been to a number of weddings in the past 20 years... to most of them I splurged on Eileen Fisher A-line dresses where the neckline, color and fabric quality would be perceived as beautiful and minimize attention from the cut and shape and mass... would be flattering. I spent a lot of money on this closet.
And I learned how to MAINTAIN my weight (something that when I was a kid through post-college I could not do). I maintained my weight range for many years. That allowed me to grow this closet. It allowed me to feel stable and identified in my body.
It allowed me to feel stable and identified in my body, even as I was not objectively healthy or satisfied with my body... I accepted myself even as I tried periodically to lose weight. I was serially unsuccessful at losing weight during these years... no more than ten pounds came off until I lapsed back into set-point behaviors and back to maintain mode.
So what am I saying? After so many years of alice in wonderland not being identified with my body, my frame... for 10-20 years I found identification and wholeness in a body that was size 18-20. And THEN.... July of last year I found SPARK and something CLICKED.
SPARK tools and SPARK friendship... and my maturity.. and the daily love and support of a partner have come together to make changing size downward a Good Thing. A desired thing.
I am getting smaller.... and exploring the many emotions of what that feels like to me.
I celebrate the new lythe feelings at the gym, as my strides become more comfortable and the activity becomes more enoyable.
I notice how differently it feels to be hugging and embracing, how much closer we are, bones and skin.
How the taking off of "bubble-wrap" exposes some fragility. And how that in turn makes me wonder about how strength training and duration and inhabitance of my body may expand my experience about fragility and stability in a smaller frame.
Upshot. Today. I gave away a huge bag of jeans and slacks to a girlfriend who gained weight this year. It was really hard to do that. I feel very strongly a desire to go to The Container Store and purchase a new plastic tub to be devoted to the clothes that Now no longer fit -- retiring them to storage instead of retiring them to goodwill or consignment.
Storage vs Consignment - Re-gifting (this is a good possible title for this blog)
And what about TAILORING? What if anything is worth being altered?
And what does any of this have to do with finding something to wear for the May wedding?
I've gone on too long here. I'm going to stop for now.
Even if no one reads this, I will say out loud and on the virtual page here that this topic, for me, needs to be processed more. And so I commit to that. I will write more about this. I may do it on blogs here. We'll see.
I know that many of my spark friends will have wisdom and shared experience on this topic.
I know this topic is rich and ripe for many.
It took me many years and much inner work to cultivate the deep self acceptance of my self regardless of size.
Somehow the changing of size is challenging some of that work, and I don't understand how or in what ways. So I proclaim that I LOOK FORWARD to discovering that, with all my being, as centered as possible in my soul. "It's a mystery" (said the head player in Shakespeare in Love)

Two Week Total -6857
-6857 is NOT QUITE ENOUGH FOR 2 lbs (would need 7000 for that)
It's well over enough for 1 lb!
So������what gives????
Yep. I'm SO proud of what I've accomplished so far (with determination, attainable goals and expectations, terrific tools, and the support of such wonderful friends).
Yep. I am somewhere between "a bit frustrated" and simply knowing that it's time to "-er" what I am doing. Stepping something up or tweaking something is the way to not "coast", to not maintain a status quo.
My fitness level is higher (Hooray!). I feel it in my body and I see it in my heart rate.
I'm in my third consecutive weight plateau. The scale is moving slower than I'd like it to.
I would like to lose 1# a week or 4# month. And I'm now behind that target.
So.... How to push... but not too hard... or too much all at once...
I'm on the hunt for my next authentic re-set of my expectations for my weekly committment to that goal. EAT LESS MOVE MORE. And change things up so the body stays responsive.
Today I browsed Julian Michaels. Library book. (Library borrowing is the only way to go!)
Jillian says:
"To lose a pound, you must burn 3,500 calories. As I've said before, it's all about the math � how to burn more calories in the most effective way.
You can only do so much resistance training without damaging your muscles and impeding your results. Additionally, you can't starve the weight off: If you eat fewer than 1,200 calories a day, you will sabotage your optimal results. Therefore, cardio is weight loss extra credit. It allows you to burn additional calories without overtraining. This is one of the reasons some Biggest Loser players can still lose 20 pounds a week, even 7 weeks into the program.
Think about the math: If you are eating 1,500 calories a day � we assume your BMR without exercise is 1,600 (this is actually my BMR) � and you do two 1-hour cardio sessions that burn 500 calories each (one in the morning and one at night), the two sessions, along with your regular daily activity, will speed up your base metabolism to at least 2,000. As a result, you will have burned about 1,500 calories that day � that is, almost half a pound. At that rate you will be losing up to 3.5 pounds a week. That said, you are bound to lose more weight during the first two weeks of any weight loss regimen because of the dramatic change in your diet and the loss of excess fluid. After that, it's all about crunching the numbers, and cardio is the key. "
So: a) She recommends TWO 1 hour sessions of cardio a day (5x week) in order to lose 2-3#'s a week. Wow. That's a lot.
b) More activity raises your AMR and helps tip the math in your favor. THIS is exciting to me.
I've been eating 1400-1800 calories a day. And going down to 1200-1600 scares the crap out of me right now. Well, perhaps that's an overstatement. I'm not so much "scared" as wary. And what I really mean is that I LOVE MY FOOD and I'd rather exercise more than give up too many of my current menu habits. My AMR could use some raising.
I'm going to be tweaking this. I'm not ready to state/fix/declare a new routine. But I AM going to experiment. I am going to let myself be surprised by results.
Hopefully I'll get some!
For real... in perfect step, in whatever time, "there the dance is"....
Grateful for spark tools! Grateful for Spark Friends.....
Here we are and Here we go --
HiHo-hihoing ! Huffing and Puffing ;-))))
Onward & Downward
.... inward and outward and toward and forward
with discovery and love

it has a numbing sensation which I guess is good if he's teething but weird nonetheless
Gum brush too soft

Purchased at iHerb
The covering of gum brush is too soft and parents will often get bitten by infants when using it. however, the toothpast smells pleasant.

Cheating and Lying:
I Have Cheated - Now What?:
I have cheated and can't figure out why!!!
I,ve been with my husband for 8 years, married for 3 we have a daughter that,s 2.. I,ve always been in contact with my first love (ex) and since 2 years now my husband has been working out of town and i have felt lonely and unloved.. I love my husband and he,s great and this summer i made the mistake of asking my ex to come visit and catch up in secret cuz that led to me cheating on my husband as well as he cheated on his GF he so claims to love and wants to marry..my ex has been dragging me along for a real ride of emotion and i can,t figure out what he means by it or why he even does it.. so my advice is to cut your ex,s out of your life cuz it,s such and emotional ride you don,t want to go down that road, you will never find what your looking for, i,ve been trying to figure it out for way too long... I have made the decision not to tell my husband because i know it was wrong and I won,t do it again.. but we have talked about our own relationship and agreed we needed to work on it...

Shopping for a home music system can be a daunting task, mostly because there are so many choices.
Brick-and-mortar audio and home theater shops have been on the wane, but Northcoast Audio in Eureka, Calif., is bucking the trend.
Exotic cars are showcases of brute-force technology, but have minimal value as cars; high-end audio systems are considerably more useful, says the Audiophiliac.
This nifty system connects your Android phone to your computer's desktop so you can answer phone calls and reply to text messages remotely.
The Audiophiliac matches the Audio Technica AT LP60 turntable with a pair of Audioengine A2+ speakers -- the combination really clicked!
Ask yourself: how big a system do you need, how much do you want to spend, and what are your priorities?
At first glance desktop/computer speakers don't look all that different from small hi-fi speakers, but they serve different needs.
Today's hi-fi buyers rarely get to compare one speaker with another to see which sounds the best. That happens every day at In Living Stereo in NYC!

They seem to be moving toward a similar "sweet spot," one that integrates similar core values within the differing beliefs that frame those values.
