TV Fanatic Mid-Season Report Card: Gleeby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
We must face the sad truth: every single primetime show is on hiatus until 2010. Before the calendar turns, however, let's take a look back.
So far, the TV Fanatic staff has reviewed the ups and downs of The Vampire Diaries, 90210, House, Heroes, NCIS and The Good Wife in our mid-season report cards.
In this edition: Glee.
Best character: Kurt. This was a close call. But while Sue Sylvester utters our the funniest Glee quotes, she doesn't sing. Conversely, we can typically rely on Kurt for a great one-liner and a great note or two dozen during one of the show's countless musical numbers. He was also the focus of our favorite episode so far, "Preggers."
Worst character: Terri. This isn't Jessalyn Gilsig's fault. Her character was simply given grating material. Now that the fake pregnancy storyline has ended, perhaps Terri can return to simply being neurotic and somewhat entertaining.
Best storyline: We referenced it above. When Kurt officially came out of the closet, we got to see Chris Colfer at his acting best; along with a surprisingly strong performance by Mike O'Malley as his father. We also got to watch this incredible scene.
Grade: A.
Hopes for 2010: Sue singing; A divorce for the Schuesters; A Bon Jovi-themed episode; More tension between New Directions and Vocal Adrenaline.
Agree with these assessments? Disagree? What grade would you give Glee so far? Write in. Let us know!

Kurt as best character?! NOT EVEN CLOSE! Sue is easily the driving force behind the show. Half the people I know who watch it literally just watch for Sue. And if you didn't want to go with one of the biggest characters, Puck or Brittany would have been solid choices too. Kurt's character is overemotional and underfunny.
Rachel Berry she is the star of the show and of the glee club, and just not in her own mind.
God I'm not even going to bother this show ROCKE MY SOCKS OFF. It's a breath of freash are, and light hearted, yet still deep and dramatic. It's an amazing lig written show. A=, because you can tell Ryan and his writting crew actually do sit down analyze their characters. The have a game plan. Though it's not all set in stone. The first half of the season, the kind of just trew stuff at us to see how the ppl would react to diff storylines. But it wasn't all disorganized like *couch*Gossip Girl*couch* and nothing is done for shock factor. Now that they have a clearer idea for what the veiwers want Ryan and his ppl are going to set out to give ou a fantastic tv seires. I mean it's kind of what Ryan's been saying all along. Like he saw that people werent all that into the whole Quinn and Puck pergnacy thing. So now, since he knows, not many ppl favor this storyline. He won't be forcing Puck + Quinn = Baby down our throats. The only baby related epi will be the one where Quinn finally gives birth. And that's when we will find out what she does with the baby. And they say how BIG Puckelberry became. Basically becoming their biggest fandom over night. So now he plan to push forward with that. The same goes for Will and Emma as well. These ppl know what they are doing. the take notice of what works and what doesn't But that's not to say the Ryan completely scaps a failed storyline with out notice. He will just slowly shift in to where the story needs to be headed. Letting everything play it's natural course. I just love this show. A+ A+ Fav character(s)toss up between Rachel and Sue
least fav character(s) I kind of like them all. They each have their good and their bad. And I can respect that. But that character that frustrates me the most is Finn. He's a sweet guy, and he's nice to look at. But I just don't like how simple minded he is, and I don't like the way he is with Rachel. Infact I don't like Finn and Rachel anything. I adore Finn with Quinn. She's his first love. And after all is finally settled I think Finn and Quinn will find their way back to eachother. Just not now. What I want to see in the back 9
1. PUCKELBERRY! Until me eyes bleed.
2. Sue! Sue! and more Sue!
3. Great music
4. Smartly written dialog. And lots of cute witty banter between Puckelberry.
Lea as Rachel is obviously the best female character but, I love Mark Salling's portrayal of Puck its dead on! If they don't end up together both He and Rachel need to be given Love interests...Finn is waaaay too wishy-washy and naive for rachel...she's in love with his potential! We definitely need to see more of the softer side of Puck. And I too agree that Kurt needs more character development...along with mercedes - the last time we really saw anything from her perspective was when she was getting ready to "bust the windows out Kurt's car" But overall Glee is one of my favorite shows on tv right now...I never miss it!
Best Character: My favorite character ever is Sue Sylvester. Dear God is that woman totally and completely hilarious and awesome. I mean, some of the things she says makes me want to die laughing. Plus, I hear that she will be getting songs to sing in the upcoming episodes in April. So, she'll be like crazy rad!!!!!! No one is as cool as Sue is. I mean, when she said, "I don't trust a man with curly hair. I can't help picturing small birds laying sulfurous eggs in there, and I find it disgusting." is was so extremely funny I almost fell to the floor laughing. With Sue you just don't expect it.. I mean, you think that she can't get any wilder and then she does. Like when she said,"...I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat. And then on some dark, cold night, I will steal away into your house...and punch you in the face." And, when they do a showing of Sue's Corner it's just so wildly different it's insane. You think that no one would ever think that way, but she does!! Or when she said, "When I heard Sandy wanted to write himself into a scene as Queen Cleopatra, I was aroused. And then furious."
That moment was the best moment of the whole season!! Worst Character: Uhm, well. Most would say Terri. But, I can deal with her. I really appreciate all the characters. The only problem I have is with the original Glee Club kids, excluding Rachel, because they are so mean to her. Best Episode: Mash-Up. Because I am a total Puckleberry fan. Or maybe Sectionals 'cause it rules. But, Overall I love the Pilot. Hopes for 2010: Sue Singing. RachelxPuck. Really cool Guest Stars. Really Rad Storylines. Awesome songs. (Of course) And, I just want it to be just as good as it was the first thirteen episodes.
Okay, here are my thoughts (if they are important): The best character to me is Artie simply because I wasn't expecting to like his character. He's like the hidden X factor of the group with all his talents. The character I hated the most is Kendra, Terri's sister. God if anyone should have shut her up, I think Will should have. However, it makes me think if Kendra and Sue got together, what kind of trouble would they set up for our boy Will and the Glee kids. Grade: A, because DAMN THIS ROCKS doesn't count as an actual grade. Hopes for 2010: The love webs grow deeper and a tad bit darker, greater songs (just saw the Madonna list...yes!), more from the Dancers (Santana, Brittney, Matt, and Mike), and Sue's return from Boca...the horror she's planning makes me giddy!
My thoughts
Best character: Rachel Berry! Lea Michele is absolutely incredible and so much fun to watch. Without Rachel, there would be no Glee. Don't get me wrong, I love Kurt, but Kurt didn't belt out a heart stopping solo in the fall finale. Love you Lea!!!
Worst character: Ugh Terri and Will make me vomit!!! I hate Terri! She is so annoying and the fake pregnancy storyline was just poorly written and cruel.
Favorite Episodes: Pilot, The Rhodes Not Taken, Wheels, Ballad, Mattress , and my all time favorite Sectionals
Grade: A++++++++++++++++
Hopes for 2010: Will and Emma together forever, Terri leaves and never comes back, more amazing music and dancing, Finn dumps Quinn and starts dating Rachel, more Artie and Tina together(such a cute couple) GLEE BEATS 30 ROCK AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES AND LEA MICHELE WINS AN EMMY!!!!
ok heres mine:
Best Character: KURT HUMMEL! I love him! He is aweomse, and funny,a nd can sing, and hes gay! I LOVE YOU KURT! Worst Character: Terri. Sorry Terri, i dont like you. I wish there would be more Will X Emma in the next new episodes. I'm dissapointed. Best Storyline: I liked Peggers, Wheels, and Ballads was so cute I have to add that in there! Preggers was amazing! I loved single ladies and Kurt coming out! I wasnt in to Glee at the time, but when I was I couldnt watch that episode enough times! Wheels was great too! I love all the Artie! (Kevin McHale is the second hottest guy in the universe. Next to Chris Colfer of course!) Kurt was amazing at Defying Gravity! Ballads had so many cutye Kurt X Finn moments! (the best couple of all time!) But then hairography was sad for him. :( I'm hoping for more Kurt X Finn. I'm hoping since Ryan Murphey is Ryan Murphey he will at least have them kiss! I would be screaming for hours I'd be so excited! Grade: Since I cant give higher than an A, I give an A! Hopes for 2010: Will X Emma! KURT X FINN! Artie X Tina! Sue singing, more Kurt, More funny lines, More Artie, More Kurt, More Bert (Kurt's dad), more Kurt being gay, MORE KURT!!!!!!
vocal adrenaline is the rival group.
you might remember in the pilot episode when they did rehab by amy winehouse? theyre the reigning champions or something. lol. omgsh! there will definitely be tension. when the diva and miva of new directions and vocal adrenaline, respectively, (lea michele and jonathan groff!) hit it off and have their little love story, THERE WILL BE DRAMA! but yes, i still love love love finn and rachel together :)
Yes the show is uneven at times but still puts on smile on my face. I am in agreement with others that Rachel Berry is the heart and soul of the show. She is flawed, bullied and at times selfish, but she always stays positive and gets right back up. And while other have nice voices, Lea Michele's voice is just pure and wonderful. So easy to listen too. Sorry but Mr. Shue does not need to rap more, been there, done that.

I love this foundation!! It doesnt break me out and It feels super light on my skin. Also it is the only foudnation I can wear without powder! I wear it for around 6 hours without looking too oily. It had a natural look not too mate and not glowy it actually looks like skin! And the color beige matches me perfectly! I also like the smell a lot!

I have mainly dry skin, with an oily nose-area.
If I don't exfoliate regularly, my skin tends to look quite dull and "blah".
This foundation instantly brightens and makes the skin look quite dewy. One of the very few foundations that don't accentuate dry areas. The coverage is medium - I use a pump and a half for the whole face. That's enough to cover up the redness I have and an occasional blemish and it still looks natural. I would definately recomend this foundation for everyone who has dry/dehydrated skin.
Application: My favorite way to apply this is with my fingers. Brushes and sponges tend to exfoliate my skin and make the foundation mix with dead skincells and accentuate dry patches. I find applying foundation with my (clean) fingers the best method in general for dry skin.
It's not suitable for oily skin at all. My oily nose-area definately needs a mattifying setting powder with this foundation.
One of my favorite foundations.

I bought this in the lightest shade after watching a video where Lisa Eldridge creates a beautiful look using it. I like the packaging, the scent, the texture and the initial look of it on, but it transfers easily, it can go a bit sheer over time, which is a nuisance when your sporting a face full of blemishes!! and while I do like a dewy complexion, I found this can be a bit greasy at times.. In saying that, I gave it to my ultra-pale sister and it's stunning on her!! So while it's not for acne sufferers who want to hide under layers of coverage, it's perfect for people with clear skin who fancy a bit of a fruity glow!
So I saw amazing reviews on this product and decided to get it- in the lightest shade available 51 Light vanilla. I was a bit disappointed in the color range as the lightest available is not nearly light enough for my fair skin ( I only use it on nights out because of this) I also expected this to have decent coverage but after reading the back it states it is only very light to light coverage (in a chart). However, like most people I love the smell. I think it is relatively easy to blend in comparison to other foundations, but it isn't my favorite.
LOVE packaging simple
LOVE the feel when putting on
HATE depending on the time & temperture, it can wipe of easily, melt
HATE that it only lasts approx.3-4 hours
HATE THE FINAL SETTING, rubs off easily after sets
I bought this last year and loved it, even bought two diff colours for the seasons change. But I didn't realize my skin was getting little white milia typs bumps here and there because of it. Finally figured out that the bumpy almost "yeasty" look to my skin was this-BOO:(
This is such an amazing product. I read good reviews on MUA and decided to give it a try, and it turned out to be great! Thank you MUA ladies!
It gives a very natural finish and does a bit moisturizing -which i totally adore. The coverage is medium to full and very buidable but you might still need a concealer to achieve flawless skin.
The only thing i want to complain about is the color selection. I have very fair skin so i need the color to be light enough - I love how Revlon Colorstay 001 ivory looks on me, but it's somehow cakey. The lightest shade of Bourjois is 51 vanille clair which i found a bit yellow for my own skin tone, but still wearable.
I am falling in love with this product, and would 100% recommend it.

This is a nice foundation, but I can't use this due to the alcohol content in this. It doesn't work with my dry skin. I will not purchase.

About me,
Skin Type: Combintion, acne-prone.
Shade: #53, NC30/35.
Weather: Sunny, very humid.
Coverage: Light, not very buildable, very breathable.
Longevity: Up to 9 hours max (at least thats the max that i've tried)
Finish: Semi-matte to natural.
Packaging: Pump is always amazing, no doubt.
Final verdict,
My concern whenever wearing foundation is whether i am able to let my skin breathe, especially at humid places when make up has a tendency to melt off and having an oily tzone is no joy. The fact that my tzone gets oily upon 3 hours of application, for some reason, it doesnt bothers me as much as i would have. It somehow made that "greasy look" less undesirable instead it gave me that some sort of dewy look. However i need to blot excess oil from my tzone to mantain that look. But importantly, i still feel comfortable and it doesnt feel heavier towards the end. I have normal to dry cheeks and after getting home from a long day out, it's still the same as i applied it, semi-matte. And i must highlight, the shade #53 is the best match for medium neutral skin tones.
Gave a 4 out of 5 because it's not buildable. If i need more coverage, i need a different foundation. Therefore, not a holy grail, but totally an essential.

This is an excellent light-coverage foundation that is also a bit moisturising. It has excellent colour (52) without pulling too pink or pale. It suited my fair-medium skin nicely. It has a peachy fruity smell that is quite pleasant that fades in 10minutes. It lasts 5-6 hours without fading a little. I recommend this to those that have almost perfect skin but want to look a little bit more polished. I don't recommend this for troublesome blemished or acne-prone skin as it does not have enough coverage and can create oiliness or more breakouts. The only downside is that I would like at least medium coverage for this but hey thats what the original healthy mix is for, isn't it? Go get this if you want a natural everyday light n' fresh foundation!

One of the biggest factors that people weigh the most heavily in the equation of what they want to do for a living has to do with where they want to live. If this means more than how much money they can make or what they are actually doing for a living, then where one wants to reside is going to influence the direction their education and careers are going to take them more than just about anything else. It is no wonder why so many practice orthodontics in Sacramento because it is a beautiful place to live and there is a large enough populous who makes on average makes a pretty good living to help support their practices. Some of the most popular destinations for medical professionals are some of the most popular and desirable lifestyle centers of country. Cities all over California are popular places for a medical professional to want to reside and establish their practice, as is Seattle, New York City, Las Vegas and various cities in Texas. One can make a profitable living and have a stable career as an orthodontist and when that fact is combined with a strong likelihood that you can also live where you want to live; it is no wonder why so many people with medical field aspirations pursue careers in dentistry and orthodontics.
No one can get into orthodontics without first studying dentistry. It does not matter if they get a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), a Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) or a Doctorate of Medical Dentistry; the field of dentistry is the initial road that anyone who wants to become an orthodontist has to travel down. After obtaining either one of these required scholastic accolades, a future orthodontist is eligible to complete a residency after they apply and are accepted to a board-certified program. The American Board of Orthodontics oversees these programs to ensure that their curriculum and training is top-notch so that anyone who completes their program at any residency location is fully qualified to be an orthodontist. During one's time spent at their residency, they not only get a thorough education through a strict and detailed curriculum, but they also work hands-on with patients (mostly applying fixed straight wire appliances, or braces to those who are not familiar with orthodontic jargon). So, when completing one of the last steps required before officially becoming an orthodontist, the resident can effectively present six different mandatory cases of the highly individualized orthodontic treatment they provided based on the experience they gained during their residency. If the board is satisfied and the resident then passes their written orthodontic exam, they become certified orthodontists by the American Board of Orthodontics and are able to set up shop anywhere in the country.
Invisible braces are a teeth straightening method that any orthodontist living and working in a part of the country where people feel self-conscious about the braces procedure. There is some flexibility involved with this term though because sometimes it refers to braces with clear, plastic brackets that are difficult to detect and other times, Invisalign is what is being referred to.Invisible or clear braces are a great alternative for teenagers and adults who want to have a perfect smile but are self-conscious about the idea of how noticeable traditional stainless steel brackets and wiring are to others. When people feel like there may be social and/or professional repercussions associated with having their teeth or bites corrected, it can keep them from doing anything at all. When this happens, it is a shame because everyone should be so lucky as to feel confident about their smile because when they do not, they are not able to express joy in the most natural way. Do not underestimate the power of a smile because it can honestly make someone's day.
Some people who are scared about the idea of getting braces are great candidates for Invisalign but sadly, others are not. Invisalign is a procedure that uses clear, plastic 'trays' or 'aligners' that fit snugly up against a patient's teeth and no metal, plastic brackets or wiring of any kind is required. For those whose individual situation is such that their orthodontist believes that they can deliver satisfactory results with Invisalign braces; it is often an opportunity that a patient will jump at because invisalign is almost completely undetectable, as opposed to traditional braces. Even braces applied using plastic or ceramic brackets are by no means invisible although their presence is obscured at least slightly. For this reason, those whose orthodontist's recommend Invisalign usually agree that it is their best option.Comments Off

Just a really great pigmented matte cool pink blush. I was a little apprehensive before I got this since I haven't had good experiences with drugstore face products in the past, but when I saw the raves for this blush, I decided to give it one more shot. I have to say I did not expect this to wow me the way it did! I love this blush so much, it gives my skin a nice healthy flush. I use this on a daily basis now, and I definitely plan on buying a few more the next time I make an order. For $3 a pop, I don't see why not!

I have never had an elf studio blush before. I have seen a bunch of rave on MUA and YT. I decided what the heck, what do I have to lose? I went to target and purchased this blush. big mistake. I did not like it at all. I normally like that bright pink Barbie colored pink. for me this had very little pigmentation. I prefer my Wet n Wild blushes

I just got this blush about a week ago and I wear this one almost everyday!! Sooo pigmented, color is just beautiful! It lasts all day on me. It wont go on too harsh if you just stipple a tiny bit at a time. This is my favorite out of all of them. :)

I love this blush! It's only $3.00, and the color is great. This is great for people who are just starting with make up because it's cheap and just fantastic. It compliments my not-to-pale skin tone, and I will definitely repurchase it.
Usually I stay away from pink blushes, especially bright ones as I dont really tend to like how the look with my medium, warm undertoned skin...But since this blush is only $3, I thought, worth a shot! This blush is pigmented and surprisingly looks great on my skin! I tend to be drawn more to bronze or warm/peach coloured blushes...This is one of the few pink blushes that actually compliments my skintone...It gives me a 'fresh' look, definitely use a light hand when applying...For those of you who tend to prefer peach/bronzy blushes, this one is definitely worth a shot...This is my 'go to' pink blush...Would definitely repurchase,.
this is my favorite elf blush...it is such a beautiful bright pink....it just gives me this cute flushed cheed look....the only complaint i would have is that it tend to disappear on me during the day...i have no idea how that happens
In love. I've heard this product be compared to Bobbi Brown's pale pink, so to find a $3 product that's as good as the designer brands, I'm in! The color is a bit shocking in the packaging--almost like a Crayola crayon bright bright pink, but when applied with a fluffy blush brush, the color is amazing. Such a soft, fresh pink, like a natural flush. I've always bought deeper colored blushes, almost like a dusty deep rose color, but this color did me wonders. Highly reccommend.
I really like the colors of this blush and especially the price!! I like that it shimmers, but I find it doesn't stay on my face all day. Not sure if most blushes stay on long because I haven't used many other brands, but this requires a refresh at least once a day. This color especially doesn't take much on my light skin. It lasts a long time too! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a decent drugstore blush.
This is a very bright baby pink shade, nice on all skin tones! Mine is fine pigmentation-wise, but what did happen though is that a patch in the middle of the blush got hardened, so that I could not pick up any product anymore. I had to scrape the hardened surface off to be able to use it again.
Overall I'm pretty happy though, it's a nice shade, looks pretty on my fair skin but can be built up to show up as a really bright pink, it's easy to blend and has no shimmer :)
What a surprise!!! I have been using Nars for a while now. For the price, this is a no brainer.I can also see using this for travel and my desk at work. This product was amazingly natural on my pale skin and lasted all day. The price is great and the container works well. Now I will have to go back and try some other colors! The only down side was when I went to Target the shelves were wiped out. I hope they get more stock!

There are dozens of players in the local search space, which mean lots of opportunities for search marketers.
Although the major services get the most attention, there are dozens of players in the local search space and lots of opportunities for search marketers use to highly targeted services to reach users looking for local products and services.
The Local Search Guide is an industry showcase put together by the Yellow Pages Association with support from comScore, SEMPO (Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization), and The Kelsey Group, a consulting firm known for its work in online yellow pages and directories.
The Local Search Guide features profiles of 19 Internet yellow pages providers; 22 search engines that offer some type of local search; 29 vertical directories that serve as an online index of local vendors in well-defined categories; and 31 search tool vendors, defined as companies that provide directory listings, transform existing print products to online content, combine Web services with VOIP (define) and phone capabilities, or provide search capabilities through a network of users.
Profiles of each company are compiled from public information, intended to provide a brief snapshot of each firm rather than offer a comprehensive description. Partners and advertising products offered by each company are also listed, as is a timeline of milestones for each company and ownership information for many companies.
The "who powers whom" information shows a complex web of associations between many of the players in the local space. For example, look at the profile of Yahoo and you learn:
Got all that?
What's particularly useful for search marketers is the list of advertising products offered by each service, though unfortunately there are no direct links to more information about each one. You'll have to click the link to the home page of each service, then hunt around to find out how to participate in the various search advertising programs described.
For the Internet yellow pages and search engines, comScore also provides rankings data for each of the services. No real surprises with the search engine rankings, with Google, Yahoo, and MSN listed as the top-ranked services. But it's interesting to note Yahoo and Google are also the number one and three Internet yellow pages providers, with MSN in ninth place.
The Local Search Guide also has a thorough glossary and a great list of links to other sites related to Internet yellow pages and local search.
If you have an interest in Internet yellow pages or want to dig into opportunities to get more heavily involved in local search marketing, the Local Search Guide is a great resource. The site has been online since December 2004 but is maintained and updated with new information on a regular basis.

Political ideology lost to so-called personality politics
Senior Labor MP Simon Crean has argued that a 'revolving door' approach to leadership is not a solution to his party's woes, but that has not stopped the murmurs of a leadership spill before the September election.
Would or could the Australian public handle another showdown between Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd?

I'm pretty obsessed with the way Jennifer Hudson styled her badass leather motorcycle jacket. Paired with red lips, lavender nail polish, a casual black t-shirt and maxi skirt, it's dripping with fabulousness; the perfect combination of edgy and classic. Want to steal her style for yourself this fall? I tracked down similar faux leather jackets in petite, regular, and plus size. The best part? They're all 100 bucks or less.

Note to Self: The Discipline of Preaching to Yourself [Re: Lit]
Publisher's Description
Shows readers how to preach to themselves, and why it's important to do so daily.
We need good preaching—preaching that challenges us by God's Word and brings the comfort that comes from God's promises. Yet many of us rely solely on others to preach to us and are not benefitting from the kind of preaching that should be most consistent and personal—preaching to ourselves.
Note to Self is a practical introduction to this daily discipline. Pastor Joe Thorn delivers fifty brief, devotional chapters that model preaching the gospel to ourselves and its practical implications. Readers will be challenged by the book's direct, personal exhortations to apply the law and the gospel to their own lives. Part of the Re: Lit series.
About the Author
Joe Thorn is the founding and lead pastor of Redeemer Fellowship in Saint Charles, Illinois. He is an active blogger at JoeThorn.net and has written for Founders Journal.

Forged in the crucible of the 1980s Afghan war, the violent fundamentalism of Al Qaeda and its cheerleaders demands direct application of sharia, depicts Islam as under attack – including by some Muslim-world governments – and calls on Muslims to fight in its defense. Those who do so are often called Salafi jihadis.
Making sense of life
Meanwhile in North Africa, the regimes of Tunisia's Ben Ali, Libya's Muammar Qaddafi, and Egypt's Hosni Mubarak spent decades trampling dissent, letting unemployment skyrocket, and seeking to varying degrees to control religious life.
For some North Africans raised in the bleak landscape of authoritarianism, Islamic activism offers meaning, says Isabelle Werenfels, a specialist on the Middle East and Africa at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, in Berlin.
"Many of the people termed Salafi don't really know much about Islam," she says. "These are young people who don't have many choices. They're looking for a way to give sense to life."

Today I am grateful for talking to my grandson, using my Wii, drinking water, eating breakfast, walking.
Today I walked twice around the house. Today I used my Wii. Today I drank water. Today I ate breakfast. Today I am living my life style.
Two words I dislike are exercise and housework, to me it means work. Both tire me out and I have no fun. They are such a negative words I did as little of both as possible. So I looked around and found a new word. Activity. I like activity and my acitivity level has gone up. Instead of aerobic exercises, and housework, I have planned acitvites with music. I rake leaves, plant flowers, oil walls (my whole house is wood paneled, built in 1950), mop, (I only have area rugs). For warm ups I sweep, dust, vaccum. My house and garden are loving it and things get done.
As of this morning my weight mattered to me. I am still 179 and holding. Like the fall of the year I have settled down. Movement is harder in the colder days, I tend to sit and game. On the good side I:
Purchased a Wii over the summer only to find most fof the movements hard on my knees.
Did yoga for most of the summer and never stopped walking.
Walk appoximately 1 block each day and sometimes twice a day.(Live on ranch, use drive way to front and back gates as measurement)
Parked away from the handicapped slot and walk to store
Drove to ocean and walked the beach
Walked around garden (1.5 arces) taking picutures 4 to 5 times a week.
Nightly walk after dinner.
As of July 16, I have been with Sparkpeople for one year. This morning when I weighted myself I was 181.8, over 17 lbs dissolved. Like the bad witch in the wizard of Oz, "I'm melting, I'm melting!"
In one year I have earned a little over 1500 points, not a lot, I don't log on often. I have trouble with structure, even the structure I devise for myself. Never the less, I keep close to my heart the sparkpeople articles, recipes, and inspiration to help me through my life style changes. NOw, I eat less, exercise more, enjoy more, and am a the happy to be alive. As I gain confidence in my ability to change my life style, I find I am more willing to take risk in other areas of my life.
I don't remember who said it but, "I put one foot in front of the other, and soon you arrive at your destination" Sparkpeople is one of the feet on my way to my sestination.

We could not be more pleased with this faucet. We ordered it along with a clear vessel sink for our guest bath. Vistors rave about the beauty and functuality of the faucet. There is no need to remind the kids to wash their hands because they love to put their hands under the waterfall. Delivery came just a few days after I ordered it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Good job, Overstock.
The quality is good, looks great and works great. However, I'd definitely suggest going with a vessel sink so water won't splash everywhere all the time.
Everyone that sees my new bathroom remarks about the faucet. they they not seen one like it before. I love it so much that when I move I will be taking my new sink and faucet with me.
Spray the glass with Rainex and keep it treated. I didn't do this and after just a week of little use, the glass was badly water spotted. No treatment I could find would removed what appears to be etch marks from the water, and we have soft water.
We are very happy with the fixture, it was great that the faucet finish matched our other fixtures.

What to choose?
I went to a neuro-endo at Johns Hopkins this morning, and the doctor told me to go on Cabergoline. I would like to know from anyone who has used Bromocriptine and Cabergoline.

I am assuming you have a lesion that would respond to the medication.
Most lesions respond and it is a good first medication to try. When I had my prolactinoma, it was not around my only option was bromo. They both have side effects and everyone is different in how they feel on it. So take it easy. The side effects can and should lessen over time. The doc should monitor to make sure the tumor is indeed shrinking and increase and decrease the dose accordingly.
Hopefully you will do well on the meds and avoid surgery!
Dec 18, 2012
Thanks, rumpled. Yesterday night, I started with 1/2 tb cabergoline. I need to take it twice in a week, and I'm confused how to take it as there are odd number of days in a week.
Dec 18, 2012
Talk to your pharmacist or doc and see if you have to change weekly to keep so many days apart.
I set my meds out in one of those 7 day a week things - so it may be that you can do it the same two days a week (e.g. Tues and Friday) or change - in which case one or two of those pill cases can help keep you on track.
Dec 18, 2012
Cabergoline is awesome for prolactinomas. I took 1 pill twice a week for 3 months. I had a repeat MRI and found that it shrunk my tumor 50%. It also brought my prolactin down from 1000 to 18. I took the pills right before bed to minimize any possible side effects. The only thing I've experience on the medication is hand and feet swelling and stiff joints which my Dr says is not very common. I am trying 1/2 a pill twice a week now to see if it helps with the stiffness or swelling. I highly recommend Cabergoline- expecially before signing up for surgery! It's worth a shot...
Jan 19, 2013
Thank you, rumpled and Tiff2323. I'm taking Cabergoline twice a week since I posted here, and I had lab work last saturday for Prolactin. My doctor sent an e-mail yesterday evening saying that my latest prolactin levels are 6.1 and I responded to the medication excellently and continue the current dosage.
My question is how long it will take to get periods or how low should be the prolactin levels in order to get a period.
Jan 19, 2013
People can vary. It may be soon and it may take a while. It has only been a short while so let your body adjust a bit. If you have not had one in about 3 months though, I would advise your endo and get further testing. There can be concurrent issues for instance I had a prolactinoma, Cushing's and several gyne issues like PCOS and endometriosis that impacted my periods as well.
Jan 24, 2013
That is great that you have responded well to the Cabergoline! What was your original prolactin level? 6.1 is great! As far as your period returning- it could take a while. I have had "normal" prolactin levels since August and I still have not had them return. As much as I enjoy not having a period- I am seeing a fertility specialist now and will likely try Clomid to try to stimulate ovulations. Are you wanting to try for a baby soon?
Jan 24, 2013
Also, as far as how low your prolactin level needs to be for periods- the normal range is 3 - 29, so your prolactin level is already low enough to get a period. Unfortunately, the tumor itself can cause "communication" problems between your pituitary and ovaries. Since your pituitary tells your ovaries when to ovulate, the tumor can disrupt that event. I have had blood work to check all other hormone levels and nothing is really off so that is what my DR expects is happening in my case. Have you had all other hormones checked?
Jan 26, 2013
Ladies, thanks much for your information. After using the bathroom this morning, I wiped myself and noticed blood and I hope this continues and becomes my first period after almost an year of period less.
Here are my prolactin levels in 2/13/12: 67.4, 9/15: 100.2, and in November:134.4. All my female hormones and Cortisol were salivary tests and my Progesterone was 0.4 as of a Postmenopausal woman so I was kept on Progesterone cream but I used it for 6 weeks in last March and April.
Yes, I'm trying for a baby and discussed with my neuro-endo about this during my first appointment and he told me not to get pregnant until I have 2 periods. Also, he said that Cabergoline is not the best choice for women trying to get pregnant and if I get pregnant while on it I need to inform him as soon as I know.
Jan 26, 2013
@Tiff how did you know that you are not ovulating? Did you use any tools at home? What medication you are using for regulating prolactin levels?
Jan 29, 2013
Well typically when you don't get a period it's because you aren't ovulating and they also did an untrasound to look at the uterus lining- it was very thin which usually indicates no ovulation. I haven't taken any home ovulation tests. I'm still taking Cabergoline twice a week but was also told to stop when/if I get pregnant. Good luck to you- hope your post above means you got your cycle back!
Mar 24, 2013
I got a full blown period on 1/26 and on 2/22 but nothing this month yet. I'm feeling sick and feel like I got hit by a truck so I contacted my endo and he told me to reduce the dosage two weeks back. I'm wondering if that's is the cause for not getting my period. My BP is low, I'm always feeling cold, I'm weak all over, I usually workout 5 times a week but this week I went to the gym on Friday but came back home as I was feeling weak/sick all over. Saturday, I felt little bit ok but I'm feeling really sick today. I became really slow physically and mentally. Did anyone experience this on Cabergoline? I know it's a dopamine agonist but I don't know if I can continue this medication if I feel like this all the time.
Mar 25, 2013
Have they done some blood work - what are your levels? How about your thyroid? Thyroid can be a culprit as well - did you get a copy of your tests pre-medicine? Was it more than TSH and T4? Thyroid issues can mimic prolactin issues, and your tumor could be something else (I had two tumors, for instance). What other hormones were checked? You can also just be getting sick?
You may need to change dosing, how you take it (with food?) and perhaps lower doses more often etc - a pharmacist is also a great resource on questions.
Apr 06, 2013
Hope you don't mind me making a comment directly to you but after using the internet to find out info on high prolactin levels I came upon this site and a lot of the info I've learnt has come from your replies :-) Our son was told today (btw we live in the UK) that his Prolactin level is 480 and his testosterone is low. He'd originally been referred for a breast lump. On the same day he also saw a Neurologist for headaches and eye pain. He's now going to have a CAT scan and also an MRI scan. Once I heard they were doing an MRI scan to do with his hormone levels I knew it was probably going to be something to do with his Pituitary gland, as when I was 25 due to being unable to fall pregnant, tests showed high level of Prolactin and they gave me a brain scan. .I was put on Bromocriptine and remember being sick when I first took it ..soon realised it shouldn't be taken on any empty stomach! I don't recall any other adverse effects. I became pregnant quite quickly, stopped the tablets and have never taken any more or been checked to see what my prolactin level is. So, after reading all your helpful advice I'm now wondering if my complete lack of libido has been due to a prolactin problem ?? And all this to find out about my sons problem! Oh. another thing, I was told that I wasn't ovulating due to the high prolactin level, which may have been caused by the contraceptive pill I'd taken (In those days it was Ovran). The strange thing was I still had periods.. albeit they were usually 30-40 day cycles. I've learnt a lot tonight..not just for my son but also for myself!
Apr 07, 2013
Is he going for a brain CT? If so, that is ... well, not, IMHO, necessary to my layman read. Most tumors show up better with an MRI and a pituitary tumor will not show up with a CT at all - so the CT (which shows up bony and harder structures better) is just not advised. The MRI is better on softer tissues and will show up the smaller pituitary - especially if they do a pituitary MRI.
It does sound like sadly, yes, you had an un- or under-diagnosed hormone issue. Prolactin can be messed up by so many things like thyroid and even other pituitary hormones so it does not have to be that type of tumor so it really takes a lot of investigation. Sadly, many docs don't take the time. And if you really had the tumor, you should have been on the meds forever - so it may have been thyroid? In any case, I would get yourself checked out as well.
I had my period with my pituitary issue - but my cycles were spread and my period was really long. So I would be every 60 days (from the time I was 14) and it would last from 8 to 45 days! Needless to say I wanted a hysterectomy from the very beginning and I asked every year for xmas and my birthday - and when I finally got it, the doc apologized as they waited to long and he could finally see the pain I was in (why, did they think I was lying about that too??? The Dr House training lives!). But my point is that symptoms vary a LOT - so what may be *classic* may not happen - I certainly missed a lot of classic symptoms but I certainly had issues!
Get whatever copies you can - and ask questions.
Apr 07, 2013
Hi, thanks for your rely. The reason he's having the CT scan is via the Neuro dept.. trying to find out about his headaches but I as he's now been diagnosed with high Prolactin levels I'm erring on thinking they'll find a growth (after he's had the MRI which the Breast Clinic have asked for..they've also said they're referring him for an Urgent appt with an Endocrinologist) I think he's just thankful that he's being thoroughly checked out! He's had a lot of niggly symptoms over the last couple of years. ie general tiredness, moodiness, sleep apnea, snoring and recently bad headaches and eye pain, just on one side (and low libido but he's only just confessed that one to me) I must admit Pit problem didn't cross my mind until he mentioned the scan and now having looked up symptoms it seems to slot into space!
With regards to me I think I'll be asking for a prolactin and thyroid blood test, just to see. I said to my husband, I'd never thought about seeing a Dr about my sex drive.. just thought it was something I had to live with!
Apr 09, 2013
Yes - so many things happen to us that are more subtle and who thinks they are symptoms. It can be hair, libido, fatigue, even how you socialize!
I hope he gets a good pituitary MRI - dynamic (with and without contrast, images taken while contrast is given) for the best chance of showing smaller lesions.
I hope the doc goes further than just a FULL PANEL of thyroid and prolactin. If the doc just does TSH and t4 - they won't find a thing.

The Joie Brisk™ is the only 3D lightweight buggy with a one-hand, single-touch fold. The compact folded package fits in nearly all size boots, and Brisk™ easily becomes a travel system when paired with Joie Group 0+ infant carriers.
The only 3D lightweight buggy with a one-hand, single-touch fold, the Joie Brisk packs up in a flash. Simply release safety, pull fold trigger, and Brisk folds into a compact umbrella fold, perfect for storage or transporting in small boots. The aluminium chassis makes Brisk one of the lightest weight fully featured strollers also able to accept an infant carrier. Instantly create a travel system by clicking in a Joie Group 0+ car seat, no adaptors necessary.
Loaded with comfort inspired upgrades, Brisk comes complete with a fully enclosed headrest and harness covers to keep baby cosy. Its multi-position recline and calf support ensure a comfy ride for children at various stages of growth.
Travel with ease thanks to Brisk's large storage basket which holds plenty of personal items. Front wheel suspension means a smoother ride on rough surfaces, and stylish single front swivel wheels lock in place when needed.
It is a really lovely stroller and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The little things that would actually put a cherry on a cake for me would be if there was a cup holder in the set and most importantly adjustable handles. Especially if you plan to use it with a buggy board, like me, it would be so much better for your older one once he/she rides on.
Very difficult/bulky to fold with footmuff on so have to take it off Brought for holidays, love the design. Good basket underneath fits large change bag and rain cover (which isn't very compact! ) Nice and smooth to push in shopping centres etc, bumpy ride on pavements Hood very small but not an issue for us as will use umbrella in the sun Doesn't come with umbrella-Shame Easy carry handles on the side to carry when folded Very good stroller for the money
Lovely pushchair. Does exactly what is says on the tin. Does look abit short on leg room in the cosy toes but no way to no yet. Only down side is the noise when pushing is very loud constant rattling. Aparty from that a good purchasein the sale.
We recently bought this stroller for our 15 month old daughter as she had out grown her travel system! We saw this pushchair online and really liked it due to its design and attractive starry fabric. We then went into store and tried it out with our daughter in it and whilst pushing her round store she fell instantly asleep so knew she was comfy. When ours rrived the next day it was easily assembled and all features worked properly so we're thrilled especially for the price. Love this pushchair!
Have used car seat with it to make a travel system, looks stylish without raincover, raincover is quite bulky and hard to open up when u need to see baby.

Gatsas' timely reminder: City teacher benefits are the issue
A tight budget this year led to teacher layoffs and increased class sizes. Some upset parents have demanded that the city override the tax-and-spending cap so more money can be raised and spent on hiring teachers. But a great deal of this frustration is based on the myth that the school budget was cut. It was not.
Total city school spending, including money taken from expendable trusts, is up by $1.6 million over last year. General fund spending on pay and benefits is $2.8 million higher than last year.
Also, student enrollment has declined for the past four years. As we noted last summer, since the 2007-08 school year, enrollment has fallen by 4.7 percent and the teaching staff has fallen by 6.6 percent. Yet we are spending millions more on city schools. What are we spending it on? Teacher compensation.
An overly generous contract with the Manchester Education Association guaranteed teacher pay raises of 2.5 percent a year every year since 2010. And the contract's health benefits are way out of line with the private sector. Teachers enjoy $5 copays and no deductibles. They contribute only 7 percent to their health insurance premiums. The private-sector average is 32 percent.
On Wednesday Gatsas renewed his call for teacher compensation concessions. (The teachers' contract expires this summer.) Most city departments, including police and fire, have agreed to benefits concessions that saved money and allowed the city to avoid some layoffs. The city was able to hire new police officers with the savings in that department.
"If we could implement the same split on health care in the school system that we have in other city departments, we could save 16 percent of the school budget," Gatsas said in his annual State of the City address on Wednesday. "That's enough to hire 80 more teachers and reduce class size."
The mayor should make clear that he is open to discussing spending more on city schools - after the Manchester Education Association has agreed to a new contract that includes reasonable benefits and realistic pay adjustments. That has to come first.

Stone Reader ^ By Herb Kane ^ ***** ^ Directed by Mark Moskowitz
So why am I proud to live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa? One reason is Mark Moskowitz' "Stone Reader," a documentary about one-time Cedar Rapids novelist Dow Mossman, author of "The Stones of Summer" (1972). Mark read the book when it first came out and then later read it again in 1998 (it's now out-of-print). This time he became engrossed with the book and started to search for other books by Mossman. Absolutely nothing. Nothing! This started a yearlong journey to find the writer himself and lucky for us – Mark filmed it.
This literary detective story initially tries to find people who know Dow. Moskowitz interviews authors, professors, teachers and publishers and always seems to hit a dead-end. Nobody knows or even heard of Dow Mossman! Though he becomes increasingly frustrated, the very act of interviewing these people reveals how much joy and satisfaction people get from reading books. It literally celebrates literature. Soon fans will be able to find Dow's book in stores. I can hardly wait to read it myself.
This documentary is a must see. If you like reading books, you'll love it. If you don't like reading books, you will after watching this movie.
The Grey Automobile ^ By Mike Hall ^ **** ^ Directed by Masayuki Suo
Films seldom grab me like El Automovil Gris ("The Grey Automobile"). The execution of the criminal gang in the powerful opening lays the groundwork for the strange, shocking, and often difficult to interpret events to follow.
As one who enjoys the, grrrrr, surreal, my appreciation for this film, especially as presented with the accompanying Japanese style Benshi performers, I was feasting on a powerful visual and auditory smorgasbord. Take, meeoooww, equal parts "Rocky Horror Picture Show" (the audience dresses & acts live with the cult film), Kung Faux (1970's cheesy kung-fu movies are dubbed and presented with 2003 style attitude), and American/British style tabloid attack-media and we get this film, somehow.
This 1919 silent film is today more than the sum of its parts. Thanks to the imaginative Claudio Valdes Kuri we are afforded a fresh perspective at a widely forgotten medium. If only I understood Japanese, Spanish, German (?), Gibberish, Dog, and Cat. But then again…
Your Friends and Neighbors ^ By Herb Kane ^ *** ^ Directed by Neil LaBute
I think I would rather spend time with my own friends and neighbors than watch "Your Friends & Neighbors," a film directed by Neil LaBute. The sex-craved characters are just too out there for me. I wanted to punch Jerry (Ben Stiller) who likes to talk during sex – although it did provide for some funny moments later in the film when his talking still haunts him. Bottom line: This movie is like watching a bunch of immature teenagers who grew up and became immature adults.
Roger Ebert said, "The underlying truth is that no one cares for or about anybody else very much, and all of the fooling around is just an exercise in selfishness."
There is one aspect of the film I enjoyed that took place in an art museum. Various characters, shown in separate scenes, stand next to Cheri (Nastassja Kinski), an artist's assistant, and talk about a painting. The dialogue is similar in every shot and becomes funnier with each twist. Those scenes alone might make this film worth renting.
While Ebert says "it's the kind of date movie that makes you want to go home alone," I think I'd rather just stay home.
Blood and Wine ^ By Herb Kane ^ **** ^ Directed by Bob Rafelson
I was eager to see "Blood and Wine" because Jack Nicholson was the star of the film and I expected something really special. In fact, Ebert said in his review, "This is one of Nicholson's best performances…" I can think of better ones like "About Schmidt" (2002), "As Good As It Gets" (1997), "A Few Good Men" (1992), "The Shining" (1980), "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975), etc., etc. etc. This movie isn't one of them. If anything, it's one of Jennifer Lopez' better performances. I liked her in "The Cell" (2000) and, uh….hmm. Anyway…
"Blood and Wine" is a good little crime drama and you won't be disappointed if you rent it from your local video store. I've always liked stories about bad guys trying to get away with heists and in "Blood and Wine" we have two losers – Alex Gates (Jack Nicholson) who is hated by his wife and son, and slimeball Victor Spansky (Michael Caine) – who successfully steal a diamond necklace from a rich home. The story, however, focuses on how their life has become one big crime in and of itself and the film unfolds nicely by utilizing the supporting characters.
Ebert said in his review, "The other roles are given almost equal weight; the supporting characters aren't atmosphere, but are crucial to the story, and one sign of the good writing is in the way other relationships (the mother and her son, the son and Gabrielle) affect the outcome of the plot."
This wasn't one of the better movies presented at the Virginia, and it certainly wasn't one of the worst. I think most people thought it was ok – including me.

Glad to see this thread so long... enjoyed reading everyone's post. My boss's are cool but I just started about 2 months ago so I have to give it some time before I start asking for favors.
im a penniless bum that mooches off everyone i know. i surf whenever i want to surf
i graduated biz school a few months ago and cant seem to give up my current life-stlye.
Gotta grow up sometime.
Graduated in May with an English major/journalism minor. Spent most of summer traveling around Europe and the Middle East, and now I'm back in NJ completely broke, unemployed, and living at home.
I guess my full-time job is looking for a job.
Yeah, I put it off for much of my 20s until i met my wife. I found out quickly that most women don't want to take care of a surf bum. Now I'm a consultant for surgical software which has tons of flexibility so I get to surf almost when I want to.
That is awesome! I wish I had it like that... Like I said, having a decent job has its perks and has its downfalls.
I mean, I did just buy a 2006 Subaru WRX STI!!!
Cool thread. I work for a publisher in NYC but consider the OCNJ breaks my home since I have a place there, essentially grew up there - so I hit it on the weekends mostly - though I've been known to hit it during the week if it is warm and good. I surf year round with the exception of the dark, dead of winter (sooo depressing)...
I haven't actually surfed much in NY or Northern NJ but want branch out for late fall/early winter DP's and weekend sessions in LI or Sandy Hook, NJ to cut down on travel time. If there are an NYC dawn patrol crews lurking on these boards send me a note.
