Methods Comparable numbers of consecutive anonymous and in-person parentage tests conducted by the same company were analyzed.
Results Men using an anonymous parentage testing service were excluded from paternity at a significantly greater rate (P<0.001), compared with men using an in-person parentage test service.
Conclusions The results obtained from anonymous parentage testing indicate that the number of families containing children of doubtful parentage is much greater than expected previously. As illegitimate children are known to suffer greater degrees of abuse and neglect, this finding poses serious social questions regarding the welfare of families, which the relevant authorities should acknowledge and address.
The forensic use of DNA technology began in the United Kingdom in 1987, with the introduction of DNA fingerprinting based on restriction fragment length polymorphisms.[1] Subsequent developments included the use of variable number tandem repeat and short tandem repeat (STR) loci located in the non-transcribed regions of the genome.[2] The latter are particularly amendable to analysis by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This has led to the rapid introduction of DNA fingerprinting both as a forensic tool and as a commercial activity with a particular association to parentage testing.
In many DNA-based parentage test services, a panel of 9-13 STR loci are analysed for each sample donor. Reagents for STR PCR testing are available from several commercial sources. A typical parentage examination case includes an alleged father, and a biological mother and child. Under standard test conditions, if all STR loci from the child match those observed in the alleged father a combined probability index (CPI) is calculated based on the frequency of occurrence of the STR alleles in the alleged father's ethnic group. Using the CPI and a prior probability of 0.5, a probability of paternity can be calculated as follows:
probability of paternity=CPI/(CPI+1)
If two or more loci from the child do not match those observed in the alleged father, then he/she is excluded as the biological parent. Occasionally, a mutation occurs in one or more of the child's STR loci resulting in an apparent mismatch between child and alleged parent. This inconclusive test reduces the CPI below the threshold needed to affirm a probability of paternity greater than 99.9%. An inconclusive result must be resolved by analysing further STR loci.
As a company providing both in-person testing (where all tested persons visit our offices for tissue sampling) and anonymous parentage testing services (where applicants post samples for testing to our laboratory) based on STR PCR analysis, we compared the results obtained from each to see if there were any significant differences in the frequency of excluded, non-excluded and inconclusive results.
Sample collection
In-person test
Test subjects provided cheek cells by performing a buccal scrape using a sterile nylon brush under the direction of a trained laboratory assistant. Samples were sealed in sterile containers and transferred to the laboratory for DNA extraction and STR PCR. The movements of the sample were continuously documented throughout the laboratory analysis.
Anonymous test
Applicants collected buccal scrapes by themselves using sterile nylon brushes provided in the GeneTek DNA Parentage Testing Sample Collection Kit (DNA-TECH Ltd., Hong Kong, China) obtained from local pharmacies in Hong Kong. Applicants returned the samples to DNA-TECH Ltd. for testing. Samples were transferred to the laboratory for DNA extraction and STR PCR.
DNA extraction
The used buccal swabs were removed from the transport container, placed in a 1.5-ml screw-cap microcentrifuge tube containing DNA extraction solution (MasterAmp Buccal Swab DNA Extraction Kit, Epicentre Technologies, USA) and rotated at least 10 times to remove adhered cells. The tube was sealed, vortex mixed for 10 seconds and incubated in a 60℃ water bath for 30 minutes. After incubation, the tube was vortex mixed for 15 seconds and incubated in a 98℃ water bath for 8 minutes, followed by a 15 seconds vortex mix and further incubation at 98℃ for 8 minutes. After incubation, the tube was vortex mixed for 15 seconds and chilled briefly on ice. Cellular debris was pelleted in a microcentrifuge (3000 r/min, 5 minutes, 4℃). The supernatant (containing DNA) was transferred to a clean 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube and 3 volumes of absolute ethanol were added. The tube was stored at -80℃ for 1 hour. After incubation, the tube was centrifuged (13?800 r/min, 15 minutes). The supernatant was discarded and the DNA pellet carefully washed with 1 ml 70% ethanol. The pellet was resuspended in 20 μl DEPC-treated water. The pellet was stored at -70℃ prior to use.
STR polymerase chain reaction
For each sample, the following STR loci were analysed: D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, and D7S820. If necessary, following alleles were analysed including: D16S539, TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO using the AmpFlSTR COfiler and AmpFlSTR Profiler Plus amplification kits (Applied Biosystems, Inc., Foster City, CA, USA). Amplified products were analysed on an API Prism PE310 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Inc., USA) according to the protocol included in the kit. The PCR mix contained AmpFlSTR PCR Reaction Mix, AmpFlSTR Primer Set and AmpliTaq Gold DNA polymerase (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA), 1.25 ng sample DNA, and DEPC-treated water to 25 μl. The reaction tubes were placed in a Robocycler Gradient 96 (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA), and the following amplification programme was applied: denaturation (95℃, 11 minutes), followed by 28 cycles of denaturation (94℃, 1 minutes), annealing (59℃, 1 minutes), extension (72℃, 1 minutes) followed by a final extension at 60℃ for 45 minutes and ending at 25℃.
Exclusion from paternity
Alleged fathers were excluded from biological paternity if two or more amplified STR loci observed in the child failed to correspond with those observed in the alleged father.
Calculating combined probability of paternity index
In cases of non-exclusion, the combined probability of paternity index (CPI) was calculated using a prior probability of 0.5. The frequency of occurrence of STR alleles in the alleged father's ethnic group was obtained from published data.[3-5]
Statistical analysis
All data were compared using binomial distribution theorem for unpaired groups.
Exclusion from paternity by test service
Between late 2000 and early 2002, 76 consecutive in-person parentage test cases and 75 consecutive anonymous parentage test cases submitted for study were analysed. The results are presented in Table 1 .
Analysis of DNA parentage service users by race
The majority of Hong Kong residents (about 95%) are of Southern Chinese ethnicity.[6] This is reflected in the racial characteristics of the alleged fathers using each service ( Table 2 ). The proportion of mixed race children analysed with either the in-person (5/76, 6.6%) or the anonymous testing service (8/75, 10.7%) was not significantly different.
Analysis of inconclusive parentage tests
The number of inconclusive test results is larger with the anonymous testing service than with the in-person test service. This could influence the significance of the data interpretation. The larger number of inconclusive tests is not due to a higher frequency of mutated loci observed with one or other of the test services or the inability of the anonymous donors to collect their own tissue samples effectively ( Table 3 ).
The in-person test is generally performed when the result is required for legal proceedings, such as a claim for child maintenance. In contrast, the anonymous test is used simply for personal knowledge. Before either test is administered, the parents do not know the outcome, thus the expected frequency of men excluded and non-excluded from paternity should be similar. The in-person service is approximately 75% more expensive than the anonymous test. This could result in bias due to discrimination based on economic status, where low-income individuals/families select the less expensive anonymous test. Previous studies show that low-income is associated with increased number of sexual partners for males and females[7,8] and reduced frequency of condom use.[7] However, no data on income were collected from the test subjects upon application for testing, so the significance of this effect is unknown. It is likely that the anonymous test is selected for its convenience and the assurance of anonymity over any economic considerations.
The onus for participating in parentage testing generally falls on the alleged father and helps explain the observed frequency of exclusions. Alleged fathers who strongly suspect that they are not the biological father tend to apply for in-person testing with the suitability of the test report for use in a legal setting, whilst alleged fathers who are merely satisfying a nagging doubt over paternity, opt first for the anonymous test. That some 40% of these men are subsequently excluded from paternity may indicate the presence of a large population of children in Hong Kong whose parentage is in doubt. The average exclusion rate in non-US parentage testing centres is 30.5%, which includes both in-person and anonymous testing.[9] Given the wealth and development of Hong Kong of China and its embrace of western values, this may further suggest a widespread breakdown of traditional conservative attitudes to the family in Hong Kong of China in recent years, that is supported in other data, such as increases in divorces,[10] number of terminated pregnancies,[11] acceptability of pre-marital sex and co-habitation by young persons[12] and rate of infection with HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases in young adults.[13] Conversely, it may simply reflect a previously unrecognised aspect of "traditional" Chinese society. Illegitimate children are more susceptible to child abuse, neglect and poor cognitive development.[14]
To our knowledge, describing an apparent anomaly in parentage testing data based on the nature of the test service in Hong Kong of China and provides evidence for the existence of a potentially large and previously unrecognised group of children of doubtful parentage. The social consequences of this phenomenon in a closely knit homogeneous society such as Hong Kong warrants further attention from relevant government departments and non-governmental social welfare agencies in order to limit potentially adverse social consequences in the future.

Lions move into baseball rankings
Wednesday, 05 June 2013 11:44
Four wins during the last week, including an impressive 12-2 victory over perennial Class 1A power Newman Catholic, vaulted the Clear Lake baseball team into the Class 3A rankings this week. The 6-1 Lions debuted on the list, released Monday, at number three. Sioux City Heelan sits in the number one spot, followed by Benton Community.
CL Boys fall to Hudson in Sub-State action
Wednesday, 05 June 2013 11:44
Third-ranked (Class 2A) Hudson ended the season for the Clear Lake boys in Sub-State soccer action Wednesday, May 22. Hudson, playing on its home field, defeated the Lions 2-1 in the Sub-State semi-final.
"Our season came to an end earlier than expected, or deserved, at Hudson," said Coach Matt Anderson. "I told the guys prior to the match if we played 80 minutes of Lion soccer, we'd prove we not only belonged on the same pitch with Hudson, but we would take the next step towards finishing our season. The guys did everything I asked and played a full match. It was an extremely tough loss to swallow. We certainly proved we belonged."
Girls end season with a school best record of 10-4
Wednesday, 05 June 2013 11:43
The Clear Lake girls soccer team was eliminated from post-season in play in the Regional semi-final played Friday in Denver. The Lions ended their record-setting season with a school best record of 10-4. The team also set a record by allowing just 15 goals to be scored against them during the season.
The Lions opened Class 1A Region 5 play with a 1-0 victory over Aplington-Parkersburg. The game was to have been played Tuesday, May 28, was delayed until May 30 due to inclement weather. The contest was moved form A-P to Fort Dodge, where artificial turf made it possible to play.

"I added a cup of beef stock with the wine to cut the strong flavor of the wine and it turned out delicious. This is my favorite chicken dish and I have made it at least half a dozen times. Thanks for posting it!"
"These were tasty and easy. We flattened them out a bit and put chocolate sprinkles on before baking and they turned out great."

"I stayed here for a weekend getaway with some college girlfriends and had an amazing time. The B&B is right in the center of town where we could walk into the shops and restaurants. The roof balcony was the perfect spot to catch up with each other while we admired the views of the harbor. Each morning began with an amazing breakfast, the homemade granola and fresh fruit served as our "appetizer" followed by a different delicious hot breakfast each day - and how can breakfast including lobster be bad? The hosts were especially friendly and helpful, but not obtrusive. The common area was spacious and welcoming and we enjoyed relaxing there in the evening. The rooms were cozy, clean and quiet. I would return here again in a heartbeat."

Wyatt Earp dir. by Lawrence Kasdan
Everyone's heard of Wyatt Earp haven't they? The gunfight at the OK corral, Dodge city, Tombstone and Doc Holliday are all part of the western mythology. Part of a place of heroes and baddies, white hats and black hats, where usually, in the end the good guys save the day, possibly riding off into the sunset.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Ever need to test emails from an application, but don't necessarily want it sending them out? Don't want to hassle with pointing it to a physical SMTP server? All you want to is verify it can send email, and take a look at the message.
Papercut is the answer. Papercut is a simplified SMTP server designed to only receive messages (not to send them on) with a GUI on top of it allowing you to see the messages it receives. It doesn't enforce any restrictions
on addresses, it just takes the message and allows you see it. It is only active while it is running, and if you want it in the background, just minimize it to the system tray. When it receives a new message, a balloon message will show up to let you know.

Papercut is an excellent tool! By far the most pleasant dummy SMTP client that I have found.
Awsome little tool.

This type of loss no longer acceptable
The Texans could get away with this **** the past couple of years and we could be satisfied that they gave a game effort against a better team. However, this doesn't fly anymore.
I am tired of us trying to hold on to slim leads and playing so damn conservative that we lose at the end. How many times did that happen last year and we have this.
Our offensive line is terrible. I wouldn't mind seeing none of these jokers come back. DD is not a franchise back and we need to draft one. He has been terrible all year. David Carr was not on his game last night either and held on to the ball too long sometimes.
As for the coaching, our offensive playcalling in the 2nd half was atrocious. We need to give David the ability to audible to a play other than a run up the middle. He needs to be accountable for the back to back audibles in the 4th quarter.
It still ticks me off that we can't get a decent pass rush from the 3-4 even when we blitz. The D wasn't the problem last night and they held GB to enough points for us to win.
This game was terribly disappointing and I am a little down on this team. I would like to see wholesale changes on the O and D lines and on the coaching staffs.
I would not be surprised to see the Texans draft defense first and then try to pick up a quality RB in the 2nd round.
DD is injury prone as is Hollings. Maybe Wells needs more of a look.
If I am not mistaken, Carr has 10 4th quarter wins in 2.5 years. Not bad. That said, this one WAS lost in the 4th by overly conservative play/play calling.
I thought they said 6 4th quarter or OT wins when trailing in the 4th.
5 freakin reverses and only two worked.
Take 2002's running game and between the dominating Jonathan Wells (529 yards on 197 attempts) and the elusive James Allen (519 yards on 155 carries) and you are in the neighborhood of Domanick Davis "breakout" season (1031 yards on 238 carries).
Yes they took more carries to get there and yes they lacked his recieving ability but when we're talking about getting yards on the ground Domanick Davis has proven to be at best a very average runningback.
Hey in 2000 Allen did 1120 by himself. Mack was able to nearly equal Davis' 4.3 yards a carry average from last season when he ran for 877 yards in 2001 with Jacksonville.
Davis has admittedly had the most "success" (hard as it might be to apply that word to any runningback that's taken the field for us) but lets not go getting all that excited about it just yet. He's the best of a backfield that's featured 4th round rookies, journeymen, want to be's, and ghosts (Hollings must be a ghost, he's invisible right?).
We need a back and we need to figure out why the offensive line is incapable of making the zone blocking scheme work. If that can't be fixed we need to go back to what we were doing last season.
i like DD and i think he is a great back. but i just cant see him being the future back for us as a long term answer. we need a big work horse who can get us those tough yards and not fumble. cmartin, cdillon - someone along those lines where we can work them hard. i would not be upset if we used a 2nd on someone who can carry this team on their backs. if need be, take away this zone blocking....im not exactly cheering about its success
IMO,The Texans are on the cusp of having a really good team.I was impressed with the play of Carr,he has come a long way.The D was playing well,but seemed a little tired at the end.In the 2nd half the Texan offense had too many 3 and outs which explains why the D was tired.Who ever is calling the plays needs to step up and take some chances,especially with our
defense.After GB tied the score,the Texan offense went flat.Most of that play calling would have worked if you were ahead by 20.Just a few tweeks and the Texans will be a team to recon with.I really like watching your team,and like the direction you are going.Hang in there.
"The D wasn't the problem last night and they held GB to enough points for us to win. "
True,however,GB played the last 2.5 qtrs pretty much w/o any running backs. Green left early,Davenport was out,Fisher got banged up...Williams left hurt and Luchey got hurt.
I have to think if Green or Davenport play it's a differnet story. Or maybe not.

Although Lightning is primarily designed for imaging Mac's over Thunderbolt (hence the name), you can also use it to create images to deploy over the network via DeployStudio. The best thing about Lightning IMO is its simplicity since everything is done by drag-and-drop (as shown in the video below). Like InstaDMG, it creates clean images that have never been booted before so you are less likely to have problems in the future.
Homepage / Download / Support Forum
FileWave Lightning is the ultimate image creation and deployment tool using the new, ultra-fast, Thunderbolt technology. Lightning allows you to create clean, untouched, never-booted images based on 10.7 and 10.8 installer media. You can even create a local user account or bake in additional PKG's during creation. Already have ASR ready images created with another tool? No problem! Drag those DMGs into FileWave Lightning and they are ready to deploy at the fastest possible speed to your client machines.

Product Rating:
Product Review (submitted on May 31, 2013):
While I said it is easy to install, but question the location, I mean the filter is located at the bottom right of the refrigerator box and I have to get down on a knee to replace it. I would recommend the appliance, but wish they would reengineer the location.

Who owns the world?
Everything - from land, water and plant seeds to folk stories and football results - can now be clai
Everything - from land, water and plant seeds to folk stories and football results - can now be clai
by Andrew Simms Published
You can buy a one-acre plot of land on the moon for £19.95. Slightly cheaper is Venus, which can be had for £14.25, plus registration fee. You can do this because, on 22 November 1980, Dennis M Hope went into the offices of San Francisco County and filed a declaration of ownership for both bodies. Just to be sure, he also filed with the federal government, the USSR and the UN General Assembly. He also declared ownership of the eight remaining planets and their moons. He set up a Lunar embassy and started to license others to sell plots. One, MoonEstates.com, describes itself as the UK's "only extraterrestrial land agents". For Mars, there is even a bill of rights to provide for mediation in the event of land disputes between settlers and a "native creature".
They can't be serious, can they? In 1967, the internationally agreed Outer Space Treaty forbade governments from claiming any celestial bodies as their property. But the committee that worded the treaty forgot to include private firms or individuals and, though the 1979 Moon Treaty would have prevented the exploitation of space for private profit, not enough countries signed. Opponents complained that it would bog down space exploration in "a 'common heritage of all mankind' morass".
This attempt to expand private property to outer space continues something that has been happening for hundreds of years: a move towards a single, restrictive approach to ownership and control. Western-style property rights are tightening on the global economy like a Chinese finger trap. The land grab of our nearest celestial bodies has become a mirror of the commercial occupation of our inner universe, from genes to the chemistry of essential medicines. Things that were once owned and managed in diverse ways - land, plants, water, ideas, genes - have increasingly been subjected to a single model: the right of private ownership. A private property right is, by another name, a right to exclude. That is the issue which dominates the ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organisation now taking place in Cancun, Mexico; the people of poor countries feel they are being excluded, often from resources in their own countries. Unless we can rediscover the lost diversity of property regimes, we shall not solve the problems of our age such as climate change, hunger and disease.
Modern westerners tend to think there are only two kinds of property: public and private. But the property regimes of the past were far more varied and subtle. In Leviticus, the God of Israel instructs: "The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with me." Any land sold by the early Jews reverted to the original owner after 49 years to prevent inequalities developing between families. To this day, the state in Israel leases most land on a long-term basis. Similar systems apply in Singapore, Hong Kong and Canberra, Australia.
Copyrights and patents were first introduced in Britain in the 18th century. It was thought - and still is - that they would provide an incentive for innovation and that individuals would be encouraged to share their ideas without fear of being copied. Yet China, which had been printing books since the seventh century, had long been a technological innovator without ever instituting formal intellectual property rights.
Conflicts over land ownership today in such countries as Brazil and Mexico echo the battles that rural people fought in 17th-century Europe and 19th-century India. In The Great Transformation, Karl Polanyi wrote: "To isolate [land] and form a market out of it was perhaps the weirdest of all undertakings of our ancestors." When the British empire changed indigenous systems of land ownership in India, with huge shifts towards the production of cash crops such as cotton, indigo and opium for export, the consequences were devastating. When there had been hardship before, the nature of the rural economy and its social relations largely prevented major famines. But in 120 years of British rule, India suffered 31 serious famines, against the 17 recorded in the previous 2,000 years. Mike Davis explains in Late Victorian Holocausts how "local economies were violently incorporated into the world market". Incorporation meant dividing public from private land. "Common lands - or 'waste' in the symptomatic vocabulary of the Raj," writes Davis, "were either transformed into taxable private property or state monopolies. Free goods . . . became either commodities or contraband." Water also became a private good linked to land ownership in a way alien to India. No land meant no water.
In England, from the 14th century onwards, common land - once available to anyone who wanted to graze their livestock - was fenced off by landowners with the help of around 4,000 parliamentary enclosure acts. Today, the enclosure of land continues in many poorer countries where mining or logging rights are sold, often below market prices, for private development. Since the Second World War, advanced economies have incorporated patents on plants and their seeds into property regimes to safeguard the investments of commercial crop breeders. In effect, they have enclosed living things. The idea is abhorrent to African farmers. Dr Tewolde Gebre-Egziabher of Ethiopia's Environmental Protection Authority says that charging money for seeds - as opposed to exchanging them - is unknown in most of rural Africa. "Patents are for inventions derived by intellectual activity of the human mind," he argues. "No living thing or part of a living thing, even a gene, has ever been invented, only discovered."
But enclosure extends to less tangible assets: our civic institutions, broadcast airwaves, public spaces and services, government research and development programmes and databases, schools and hospitals are all under siege from private interests.
Thomas Jefferson envisioned the free circulation of ideas. "He who lights his taper at mine," he wrote, "receives light without darkening me." But knowledge that should be free and shared is being fenced off into private preserves.
Intellectual property is a good example of how a single model does not work. Set at 20 years for all inventions, patent duration does not differentiate between the incentives needed to invest in different kinds of technologies and hence the value of the monopoly in comparison with the work involved. Corporations constantly create new intellectual property rights such as the sui generis right that protects the construction of databases from existing information (hardly an invention). Increasingly, they also question statutory exceptions, calling into question the basis of public libraries, for example.
The result is that culture is being commercialised in an unprecedented way. The International Olympic Committee has claimed property rights in the reporting of sporting events, tables of results, and so on. Stock quotes, football results and other compilations of facts could soon be taken inside property regulations. Disney is privatising folk stories such as Snow White. Intellectual property rights have not only become crucial to building the capital values of companies, in order to boost revenue through licensing, but are also being used to colonise embryonic areas of technology through "strategic patenting". Companies no longer have to make - or even be able to make - a product they want to patent, so long as they can describe it plausibly. Some companies, such as Walker Digital, produce nothing but patents.
But it is the consequences of the export of western property regimes in drugs, plants, land and water that are most serious. Applying restrictive patent rules to vital drugs kills 37,000 people every day, according to Oxfam. Allowing a US firm to patent the qualities of Basmati rice threatens the livelihoods of Indian farmers and amounts to the theft of hundreds of years of accumulated plant-breeding knowledge.
Access to water is no longer regarded as a human right; water is more and more treated as a commodity and its supply compared to the brewing industry to explain why it is appropriate for commercialisation. In Bolivia, the water supply system of Cochabamba was sold off to a group of foreign and national companies. Within weeks, water prices had more than doubled. Many families, facing bills of more than 20 per cent of their monthly income, were told to pay up or be cut off. Haiti, Ghana and Manila in the Philippines have had similar experiences.
In a new report, the New Economics Foundation proposes a move towards a more plural approach to ownership, where different forms are designed to address different problems. The absence of any ownership regime can be as damaging as the adoption of the wrong one. For example, global warming will not be stopped until there is an agreement for the management of the global commons of the atmosphere. To cap and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we need an equitable property rights regime, so that everyone is entitled to a fair share of a global carbon cake that is limited by the atmosphere's capacity to soak it up.
Countless other proposals swim against the tide of restrictive market-based "rights of exclusion". Indian groups working with peasant farmers have established community grain funds. Community land trusts in the US, Canada and the UK are trying to take land off the market and place it into trusteeship, maintaining affordability because there is no capacity for speculation or profiteering. In Brazil, the Landless Workers Movement has been moving rural people on to unused land since 1985, using a constitutional law which decrees that land must fulfil a "social function". More than 300,000 families have won land titles to more than 20 million acres.
In its long history, property has never been proved either right or wrong, natural or artificial, corrupting or stabilising. Nobody has shown that it is the only way of providing incentives to development or that it is the principal cause of social inequalities. But we cannot allow an exclusive property rights regime to continue governing everything from ideas to land. When the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems look like nails. But our problems are more varied, and to deal with them we need a bigger toolbox.

My goals to be a kinder, more loving person (on my death bed Id probably regret being cruel or selfish more than having a few extra pounds- but really, the two shouldnt have anything to do with each other, haha, hopefully there is time for both ;) )... my goal to be a better, more agile dancer- and mother :)
So I thought Id put up a quick blog about someone that inspires me. Ok, so she inspires my fitness. I dont know anything about her except that shes as fit as they come- no idea if shes in anyway loving, kid, etc, but Ive got other role models and inspirers for that :)
Ok so Sofia Boutella is as hot and amazing as they come. Shes a crazy, mad dancer with gorgeous creativity. Its no fluke Nike snatched her up for their add campaign.
Here she is:
And again:
One thing is clear- she did not get where she is by sitting around. I imagine that she spends hours a day dancing, refining her craft, and therefore her physique. I dont have hours a day to give to fitness- bbut I definitely have more time than I think.
In grad school if I got my reading done, I could just pack my bag and go spend hours at the school dance studio. And I did. and it was awesome.
Now I dont have that freedom. Im a mom. And studying. But. But. But. Too many buts.
Ive been trying to make about 45 minutes each day for exercise of some kind- and Ive been succeeding! With that realization under my belt I am wondering how many more minutes there might be. Eating a healthy diet takes no extra time really, just focus. Exercising more, building muscle and flexibility can, however. yes I do squats while I brush my teeth. And I hold baby high above my head to work my arms. BUT theres probably even more time there- if Im motivated. I shouldnt let my focus scare me off- I should not feel guilty.
It aint going to happen sitting around.
Thanks Sofia. Im on it.
Ok, real quick here they are:
Do 30 minutes of Pilates- the P57 Arm and AB Booster. Not a ton of time, but will still be hard since Im on my own the whole day with baby :)
Eating healthy- tonite I get a bit of a treat with a giant bowl of popcorn, I factored in the calories already. So thats exciting. Getting any food in my mouth today however will be hard since, again, Im on my own, and its hard to put baby down long enough to get my meals together. Thankfully that is accounted for in how we shop- we have a lot of quick, healthy, easy-to-eat one handed foods around. At the least I can get in babybel cheese, carrots, snap peas, apple hummus and crackers :) Anyway, it will be important to eat because otherwise my blood sugar plummets and Im likely to go for something unhealthy to quickly get it back up. Got to eat to loose!
ACE work- ok so I DIDNT do 12 pages yesterday, but I did cover two body systems in the book. So today my goal is tackle ONE section (but its looong) on the Skeletal system.
Anything else I do is just brownie points (read: laundry, dishes, etc.)
Happy Sparkling!
Today I had planned on doing 45 minutes of kickboxing in the morning, but my husband has to go take care of an emergency, so I will wait to do my workout till later. It may be that I do the shorter pilates workout today and kickboxing tomorrow instead.
To ensure that I get SOME activity in, Ill have another dance party if baby is willing.
I would amaze myself if I got through 12 pages in my Essentials of Exercise Science book- shouldnt be too hard since Ive had to read this chapter before, a long time ago.
I also as usual want to commit to healthy night time noshing- EVEN if the baby is fussing and crying and doesnt want to go to sleep :) I sometimes use the fact that Im still up soothing him at 10:00pm to justify more than my share of snacking.... But how does that help me towards my goal?? Instead I can snack on a Kind bar, or oatmeal, an apple, or cheese. :)
ALso, Id like to get in a shower today. Yes, as a new mom that has to be a conscious goal, haha :)
Setting goals is a hard job. Why else the endless talk in articles, speeches, etc. on how to set goals that will get you where you want to go? In other words it requires some know-how. Its a skill in and of itself separate from what you actually want to achieve...
I was encouraged recently by a fellow Sparker about how specific my goals are- encouraging! After all, that's one of the keys of goals setting, is having them be 'specific.' So feeling like I was on the right track- since even with ALL the info out there on good goal setting it can still be hard to tell if you are ACTUALLY being specific, realistic, attainable, timely, etc. in your goal setting- I decided to hone in even further on the goals I set.
And I realized- while I am SPECIFIC about the WHAT, I am still pretty VAGUE about the WHY of those specific goals. I have something in there about being an example to my family, fitness instruction, and a trip to NYC... but let me NAIL the 'WHYS' in:
So WHY do I want to get back to my prebaby weight?
1. Because I want to have MORE babies, and I dont want each pregnancy gain to just build on the last. Multiple pregnancies and failure to loose the weight is associated with increased gain later in life (something I learned in my PT studies)... so get it off before you go again!
2. Because I have a closet (um... several...) FULL of lovely clothes- including my favorite grey corduroy mini skirt that I wore day in and day out, with boots, flats, heels, sneakers. Id rather not have to give the lot to Salvation Army. Ok, so I should probably give Sooome of it to Salvation Army, but I dont want to be giving it away because Ill never be able to wear it again. I accept that my body may not be exactly the same as it was before, and the clothes may fit differently, but I want most of them to still fit... especially that mini skirt.
3. Because Ill have to work HARD to get there- which means Id have done intense CARDIO and really worked my pilates skills.... which means I could do cardio hard or pilates hard for an hour which you NEED to be able to do when leading others. Trust me! When I was teaching Zumba and Pilates regularly I had to BRING it so that my class would actually be working hard enough. If I want the class at like a 6 or 7, Id have to be at a 10... My strength and endurance suffered during my pregnnacy (I'm really ok with that!) BUT I need to be rebuild it so that I have the OOmph! to be a kick-butt instructor. Gotta Kick my own butt before I can kick anyone elses again :)
4. Dance... Am I professional? No. No! Heck no. Have I danced for money? Yup. Ok, that sounds wrong. What I mean is that I've had gigs- and if I want anymore, I gotta look the part. Its NOT easy to get gigs, especially if you havent studied dance since wearing a diaper and if you went to school for something entirely different. SO it really helps to look the part- which means small, lean and easily lift-able. Again I am no dance superstar, no prima here, no blackswan ;) I have no delusions. But Id be livin the dream to do a few more gigs :) So besides just LOOKING the part, and apart from just the dance skills themselves, it helps to be fit as h3!!- makes you more versatile, able to stretch more, do more, last longer, hold form better, etc etc.
5. My baby boy- I want him to see me treating my health with respect and care. Which means not being obbssessive, but taking it SERIOUSLY and having FUn doing so... SO I am setting a program that is FUN for me :) and that will get me fit. I hope when he gets older hell find being active and eating healthy foods to be rewarding, fun and just down right normal and natural. Omg, I love him so much....
So there you have it. Having the Why-how to meet my goals!
Ok- so I have about 20lbs to go till Im back to my prebaby weight. and I definitely dont want that to take longer than it has to because Im too scared to make fitness a priority.
My husband would laugh if her heard me say that I need to make fitness more of a priority- because I LOVE fitness and am working hard to get to it... BUT the reality is that there a significant ways that I still dilly dally and dottle when I could be kicking some caloric butt.
My biggest challenge right now is pulling myself away from my dear baby- I feel SO guilty even just being in a different room than him... and more than just guilt, I really dont want to miss a minute of his precious life. And i feel sometimes that even ten minutes could mean i miss a moment i can never have back.
however, what good am i to him if im not also taking care of myself (read: eating, showering and exercising)? i mean, i dont need to be the one cuddling him through ever nap- i know daddy is more than pleased to hold him without me hovering around 'just in case' (first time mom here....)
This week i give myself permission to step away from him to do exercise- ten minutes at least each day.
And Ill thank him for the time :)

I'd hate to be a SC cheerleader -- I bet they get asked all the time if they love the Cocks?
Vandy had ZERO penalties on the road. SEC refs are unreal.
I was keeping count of the uncalled holds, but eventually gave up.
Vandy is still Vandy. Despite that, I recognize that Franklin is a good coach. For his own sake, I hope he's just using this job as a launching pad to a place where it's possible to be competitive.
Anyone see Spurrier chew his defensive coach out? That is the same defensive coach that almost got his ass kicked last week by another assistant. I have a feeling he will not have a job at the end of the year, or maybe tomorrow.
Actually, it was the linebackers coach vs the d-line coach that got into a fight last week.
But yeah, SOS was chewing Lorenzo Ward out. I think Ward got used to not having to do too much last year because his front four provided enough pressure, his linebackers were experienced and his secondary was good. This year the linebacking crew is young and we lost leaders like DJ Swearinger. Ward needs to realize he's got to scheme a bit more to help the younger players out.
To me the most glaring issue is the two coaches we lost from last year, the d-line coach, Brad Lawing (how's your d-line this year? ) and Craig Fitzgerald, the strength and conditioning coach.
Franklin makes you think he is accomplishing a lot without ever actually beating a team with a winning record or signing any of the top players in his own backyard. His handling of the gang rape scandal will tarnish him.
Fair enough.
If the Buzzfeed info turns out to be true, it could get ugly, and paterno his career.
when a real coaching job opens up, franklin's gone---book it.
When a real coaching job opens up, every coach is gone.
Well, there may be a few coaches that might not be true for.
SC Def cord went to Aub and we got the DL coach, Its made a big diff in their Def this year
And I'm sure, skirts or pants, most of them smile and nod.
And nod.
And nod.
And nod.
Too bad too for USC. Steve has their offense really rolling this year, his best since his UF days. With better defense, they might have won the SEC.

Stephen Greenleaf Bulfinch, Post 11
The following excerpt is from the diary of Stephen Greenleaf Bulfinch.
March 2d (Sunday) 1862
Public events approach a crisis. Clarksville & Nashville, Tenn. have been surrendered to the Union forces, and from the Potomac we hear, - after some days' embargo of the telegraph, - of the advance of General Banks's Division into Virginia, probably to be accompanied by the rest of the great army. On the other hand, Davis has just been inaugurated president for six years, of the Southern states. We have not ceased to be astonished at public sentiment in England taking so much the Southern side; but signs of a change are visible.
Sunday March 16th, 1862
The war continues with great advantage on our part, especially at the west; but a week since the achievements of the rebel iron-plated steamer "Merrimack" or "Virginia" startled the land. Happily she was met and driven back by the "Monitor." We are looking with intense interest for further intelligence.
Look for post #12 in April and read Bulfinch's comments on the anniversary of the attack on Fort Sumter and the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia.

Florida Nursing License
- 0Sep 8, '09 by neurorn73flHow long does it actually take to get a Florida license. I have heard weeks, how many weeks? I am trying to get mine before the first of October. It has been two weeks. What are my chances? They are holding my job until then, but if I don't get it, bye bye job.
- 0Sep 9, '09 by neurorn73flThanks for the info. I'm keeping my fingers crosses.
- 0Sep 9, '09 by misswhitneyI submitted my paperwork via snail mail on Aug. 24, Pearson received and processed it on the 28th, and I am still waiting to hear from the BON. I know a few people who submitted their paperwork on the 19th and got their ATT today.
- 0Sep 9, '09 by neurorn73flI already have a Michigan license. I am trying to obtain a Florida license to relocate there. I emailed them and they stated a minimum of 30 days, but I have had other people tell me that it will only take two weeks.
- 0Sep 9, '09 by KateRN1It depends partly on whether your current state is linked to NURSYS, which makes it much faster and easier (although not cheaper) to verify your original license. I think it took about 3-4 weeks when I applied for mine, with one delay because I didn't have the CEUs completed. Once I got everything sent in, I had it in a week.
- 0Sep 10, '09 by lorettapMy license originates in New York and they do not use NURYS system but i already mailed them the verification form one week proir to me sending my paperwork to FL BON(which is what they suggest you do) for anyone that was missing anything in their appliication how did FL BON contact you to let you know, was it by mail or email or phone call?
- 0Sep 10, '09 by misswhitneyI don't know if this will help you but I called the number on the login page on the DOH health professionals website and they gave me a status update of my application and let me know if I was missing anything.

Would it be okay to eat a lot (~600 cals) before bed as long as I saty within my daily caloric limit? I often find myself short on cals at the end of the day. I usually eat slow digesting stuff like veggies, salmon, chicken, string cheese, almonds, etc. Also is eating a lot of light string cheese (60 cals, 2.5g fat, and 8g protein) (3-4 day) bad? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, since we don't have a board yet can we hang out here? Are there any April hopefuls out there? I just tested positive today (very light line on 3 different tests) and I'm due April 1st.

Can you believe I have known only for a week and I already have terrible morning sickness? I guess that's a good sign though.
I had a dream last night that I was miscarrying again. What a relief to wake up and realize it wasn't real!

ARGHHHHH!!! Have to wait another day to test again! I took a urine test at the hospital and theirs came back negative! I took two early responses and got a pretty dark line in less than 30 seconds so I went to the hospital to take their test. I drank a lot of water before going so I'm hoping that messed with their results. I took the last first reponse when I got home just because it was there and three positives are better than two ;-) and I got a faint positive line. I'm having a blood test done on Friday so crossing my fingers! AF should have started yesterday and I'm experiencing sore bb's and mild cramping...it's been a while, is that normal? Really hoping this isn't a fluke of nature to get three false positives!

Hi, im heather just got my bfp with an edd of april 9! this is #3 for us. we have a 2 year old boy, and a little boy that would have been almost 7 moths ( lost him to trisomy 18). i am so nervous but very hopeful

I'll cautiously join in. I have been having dreams that I'm pregnan for a few nights now. I POASed on Mon and had a faint positive, and again today I had a much more distinct one. My calculations would be EDD April 6.
I've had some pretty serious medical problems in the recent past, and we have lost pregnancies because of it so for right now DH and I are just holding our breath, hoping and praying that this little bean sticks and is healthy.
