Currently unemployed Gears of War game developer Cliff Bleszinski has received a package containing a phone apparently sent from Ubisoft. While enjoying his ongoing break from the industry, the former Epic Games design director tweeted 'Hotel called my room. A package for me? Inside? A fully charged phone with one # programmed and the Ubisoft logo on the backdrop. Now what?' Obviously, pics or didn't happen, so...
Cliffy later said he would call the number and tell them: 'I do have a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me an asset for people like you.'
Cliffy B left his job as design director at Epic Games at the start of October, saying it was time for "a much needed break".
Could this be a job offer from Ubisoft? Could Cliffy B be coming back to games? Was the package even delivered to the right room? Perhaps it's all part of some completely pointless hoax?
Be sure to tune in next time for more exciting adventures of unemployed game developer Cliffy B.

FDA Proposes New Rule for Sunscreen Products
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently proposed a new regulation that sets standards for formulating, testing and labeling over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen drug products with ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) protection.
Because sunlight is composed of both UVA and UVB rays, the organization proposes the creation of a consumer-friendly rating system for UVA products designed to help consumers identify the level of UVA protection offered by a product, instead of only the level of UVB protection identified through SPF values.
The proposed four-star ratings system works with one star representing low UVA protection, two stars, medium; three stars, high; and four stars the highest UVA protection available in an OTC sunscreen product. If it doesn't provide at least a one-star protection rating, the FDA is proposing to require the product to bear a "no UVA protection" marking on the front label near the SPF value.
These ratings would be derived from two tests to assess the UVA deflection effectiveness. The first measures a product's ability to reduce the amount of UVA radiation that passes through it. The second measures its ability to prevent tanning.
Also, a "Warnings" statement in the Drug Facts box will be required from all sunscreen manufacturers that will say: "UV exposure from the sun increases the risk of skin cancer, premature skin aging and other skin damage. It is important to decrease UV exposure by limiting time in the sun, wearing protective clothing and using sunscreen."
When finalized, the regulation would amend the existing OTC sunscreen rule published in 1999. It will also revise the existing SPF (UVB) testing procedures, allow new combinations of active ingredients and ask for comments of the issue of nanoparticles.
Comments of the new rule will be accepted until November 26, 2007. These must be identified with Docket No. 1978N-0038 and can be submitted electronically or in written form.

Take Action Against Career-threatening FDA Proposed Regulation
The Day Spa Association issued a release to its members urging them to take action against a new career-threatening regulation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently rewritten their regulations in an attempt to outlaw and eliminate alternative health care modalities. From massage to vitamins, minerals, and herbs, all alternative and complementary modalities will be labeled as practicing medicine without a license unless prescribed by a physician.
The subtle change of vocabulary from "alternative health care" to "alternative medicine" makes all of these industries subject to control by the FDA as medicine. Only medical doctors would be allowed to provide, prescribe and supervise the delivery of these services. Anybody else who provided any of these services would be practicing medicine without a license, and subject to incarceration and fines.

Humira Gets Expanded Approval for Psoriatic Arthritis
The Abbott Laboratories drug Humira (adalimumab) has been given expanded approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to slow structural joint damage in people with psoriatic arthritis. The condition affects people who have skin psoriasis.
Humira was initially approved for overall treatment of psoriatic arthritis in October 2005. It's also been sanctioned to treat moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis, and an inflammatory disease of the spine called ankylosing spondylitis.
Psoriatic arthritis combines symptoms of arthritis—including joint pain and inflammation—with those of psoriasis, including painful red lesions on the skin. Clinical testing on 313 people who hadn't responded to NSAID therapy found that people given Humira had significantly less joint damage than study participants who took a non-medicinal placebo, Abbott said in a statement.
People who took Humira also demonstrated increased ability to perform daily functions such as getting dressed, walking, and climbing stairs, the company said.

? Scouts (Boy/Girl) Question on Lack of Adult Participation
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 10-04-2012 - 12:40pm
My mind wanders a lot and I've been recently thinking about why it is so difficult for us to get adults to fill positions in scouts. And when Cheryl recently said a parent asked her why she isn't leading the Wolf den (when Cheryl doesn't even have a 2nd grader) I started thinking again.
Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that many of the programs we have kids in after school are led by people we pay- dance, music, gymnastics, even some sports. Or by teachers after school (either paid or volunteer). And that parents are of the mindset that these activities exist because someone is already appointed to be doing them with the child when they go to sign up the child.
And do you think that the lack of adult help comes from the fact that there are so many things out there as options that parents are overwhelmed and spread thin- either by trying to get multiple kids to things at the same time or by even a single kid being able to participate in a lot of different activities- so parents don't feel the need to step up because if something isn't working they won't miss it and there's something else to fill the gap (including just plain time at home).

I'm just trying to get some perspective and ideas.
I really want to make my son's cub scout group continue to function, but I am just not getting the most adults to do anything- yet each one says they want their child to continue in this group and not switch to a different one.
And my Girl Scout mom's who used to be pretty responsive are just not responding at all anymore. It's a bit frustrating.

|Fri, 10-05-2012 - 2:00pm
I think that many moms will not volunteer to help a boy group because they think the dad should do it & lots of the dads are intimidated to work with the little guys unless it is sports related. (I imagine it th the opposite for the girls)
I think many parents want scouting for their child, but they want their child to be dropped and picked up without anything coming home. Not many kids finish things that are sent home ie charting chores. I don't know how many times a kid tells me he didn't bring his chart back because didn't do it, but the parent emails that he did.
I think the cub program in my area would be overflowing if we had all of the meetings afterschool in the gym / cafeteria and didn't require any parents in attendance. Typcially any of the after school programs are filled to overflowing - even the expensive ones.
|Fri, 10-05-2012 - 9:11am
|Thu, 10-04-2012 - 2:23pm
Here are reasons I see for why parents are not more involved:
1. They work. Either both parents have a job, or the single parent may have more than one job. Parents want their kids to have the experience, but don't have time to do more than drop and run.
2. They have more than one kid to get to places and do things with. I have three. If they all were in scouts, in my area they probably would be in different groups that meet the same day. different places. We do 4-H because they take multi-ages. Although it used to be 4-H was a drop and go thing, it is now becoming parent there is mandatory, which I think is sad as parents are running things instead of the kids like it was when I was in 4-H.
3. Parents are trying to have their kids do it all, and are scheduled for more things than they can actually handle.
4. Location. Schools and scouts used to be for small areas, in towns, where kids could walk. Now we have lots of suburbs and schools have kids from far away. This means more travel time, less face time. If this is after work, parents are having to hurry supper, which may mean fast food instead of a good meal, and given the push to eat healthy, parents do want to do that, which takes time.
I suspect the economy has something to do with it as well - more people taking work home because they want to be sure they are the "good" employee when it comes time for cuts. Also, more 2 parent working families because one parent had to take a lower paying job or such.

CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
The UEV domain of the TSG101 protein functions in both HIV-1 budding and the vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) pathway, where it binds ubiquitylated proteins as they are sorted into vesicles that bud into late endosomal compartments called multivesicular bodies (MVBs). TSG101 UEV-ubiquitin interactions are therefore important for delivery of both substrates and hydrolytic enzymes to lysosomes, which receive proteins via fusion with MVBs. Here, we report the crystal structure of the TSG101 UEV domain in complex with ubiquitin at 2.0 A resolution. TSG101 UEV contacts the Ile44 surface and an adjacent loop of ubiquitin through a highly solvated interface. Mutations that disrupt the interface inhibit MVB sorting, and the structure also explains how the TSG101 UEV can independently bind its ubiquitin and Pro-Thr/Ser-Ala-Pro peptide ligands. Remarkably, comparison with mapping data from other UEV and related E2 proteins indicates that although the different E2/UEV domains share the same structure and have conserved ubiquitin binding activity, they bind through very different interfaces.

This can be normal for new overhead valve engines such as Inteks and Vanguards and should clear up after a couple of tanks of gas.
Due to the strict emissions standards affecting the design of small engines today, tolerances within the engine have tightened considerably. As a result, until the engine "breaks in" and the valves seat, the engine may run slightly lean. This condition can be lessened by operating the engine with the choke slightly on.
If hunting and surging continues after 4-6 tanks of gas, consult your local Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer concerning the problem. To find the nearest Service Dealers near you, please use our Service Dealer Locator.

Motor racing: Vettel leads wet Silverstone practice
Published on Jul 5, 2014 7:02 PM
SILVERSTONE, England (Reuters) - Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel topped the time sheets in a wet final practice for the British Grand Prix on Saturday, as neither of the Mercedes drivers bothered to set a timed lap.
The Red Bull driver, who has not won a race since last season when he wrapped up his fourth successive title, lapped the Silverstone circuit in a comparatively slow time of 1min 52.522sec.
Australian team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, who has out-qualified Vettel in six of eight races so far, was second fastest.
Mercedes team-mates and title rivals Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg did a few exploratory laps to test the slippery conditions while Ferrari's Fernando Alonso also spent most of his time watching.

Home fries

|Home fries
A plate of home fried potatoes, showing the irregular size and texture of the potato dish
|Alternative names
|House fries, cottage fries, sometimes American fries
|Main ingredients
|Potatoes, vegetable oil or butter
|Cookbook:Home fries Home fries
Home fries (US), house fries (US), cottage fries (US), American fries (US) or fried potatoes (UK & regional US) are a type of basic potato dish made by pan- or skillet-frying chunked, sliced, wedged or diced potatoes that are sometimes unpeeled and may have been par-cooked by boiling, baking, steaming, or microwaving.
A dish much like modern home fries may have been around for as long as humans have been consuming cooked potatoes. However, the origin of the term home fries is somewhat of a mystery. It is speculated an American term in reference to the fact that they are not deep fried or "french fried".
While it is possible to make home fries without par-cooking the potatoes, home fries are technically raw fries. The texture will be more chewy, with the longer cooking time increasing the likelihood of burning the potato pieces. As the name suggests, home fries are also made as a simple dish which can be prepared even by people with modest cooking skills as a meal or a snack. A condiment such as ketchup, sour cream or maple syrup might be used for additional flavor and texture.
The frying is typically done in vegetable oil or butter. Other ingredients may be added. If chopped onions and bell peppers are added to diced potatoes it creates a dish known as Potatoes O'Brien. Sliced potatoes and thin sliced onions sautéed with parsley and seasonings are known as Lyonnaise potatoes. Bratkartoffeln in Germany are a form of pan fried, cut potatoes, often made with butter, German style bacon, onion, and parsley.
The consistency depends on the type of potato used. Although various types of white potatoes are the most popular base, sometimes waxy (usually red-skinned) or sweet potatoes are used.
In North America, home fries are popular as a breakfast side dish.[1] In some locations, home fries are even used as a pizza topping.[citation needed]

How popular is Space? Popular enough that it has to open only once a week, on Saturday nights, to remain profitable. How many other nightclubs can get away with that? Now that new ownership has taken over Space, the best thing they've done so far is leave well enough alone. Except for some minor upgrades here and there, you'll encounter the same ol' familiar venue. This is still the place to go for people who don't want the party to ever end, dancing on the downtown terrace well past sunrise. It has learned to coexist with its new condominium neighbors to the east. But will it survive the encroachment from the planned Miami Worldcenter, the mega-shopping complex due to rise practically next door? Put your money on Space pulling through. In the event of a nuclear fallout, there are two things guaranteed to survive: cockroaches and Club Space.

I have struggled over the last few days about how to or even if I should report this news. Frogster Europe has been and will be running a contest (for three more days) for their European servers. This contest gives European players a chance to locate Runewalker in game and challenge them to a dual. It is somewhat like a one player dungeon with the chance to win real world cash. If you CLICK here you will see all the particulars.
Why am I reporting this here? Well for two reasons.
One) Ten Ton Hammer is not just a US site. It is true that the vast majority of our daily viewers are probably from the US and all of the Runes of Magic players I know are on a US server however, majority does not equal all.
Two) the fact that a free-to-play title can support any kind in game contest for real word cash is nothing short of amazing. Admittedly I have not played thousands of MMOG's like some of our writers have but, I have never seen a subscription based MMOG let alone a free-to-play option offer real world cash outside of a specific tournament or marketing promotion that usually generates large amounts of cash for them so giving a away some monies is no big deal in the grand scheme of things. With this there is no huge gimmick for the company. It is simply some GM from Frogster jumping on an elite character and rolling with the regular folk.
While this is not in the US I am still pleasantly surprised that Frogster has done this. It also gives me hope that something like this could be possible on the US servers at some point.

Attachment 619919 Screw you Ashe...
So after reading all the 'comedy strips' in this post and a fair amount of comments in this thread.... You do realise that although similar, Ashe and Quinn aren't really that similar? If you were to say they were similar you'd also have to say she's like varus. And others I'm sure. Having said that, Ashe does need to be looked at, and revamped a little. Oh, and I LOL'ed at most of those 'comedy strips' good work in making those! XD I had a good laugh. Thank you ^^

Petition tries to get Fisher Price to stop selling baby seat with Apple iPad stand
The organization has started a petition, calling the Apptivity Seat the worst screen product for babies. The CCFC notes that with a colorful screen and constant activity, the iPad can get a baby's full attention allowing the parents to leave it all alone with the tablet. If you want to add your name to the petition, all you need to do is to click the CCFC sourcelink below, fill in the blanks, and submit it. The petition is addressed to David Allmark, Executive Vice President of Fisher-Price, and requests that the company pull the seat. The CCFC stresses that it is wrong to leave a baby alone with an iPad, inches from his or her face. The screen is blocking the child from seeing his parents and the rest of the world. Part of the petition reads, "Babies need laps, not apps. Fisher-Price should focus on developing products that actually facilitate learning and development instead of encouraging parents to strap down babies -- even those too young to sit up -- inches from a screen."
In response, Fisher Price says that it is the target of a negative online campaign. There has been talk that Fisher Price is marketing the seat as an educational product, something that the manufacturer strongly denies. In addition, Fisher Price says that the seat does offer options to limit the viewing time of the tablet. As it turns out, the American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with the petition, saying that kids under 2 should not be using any electronic screens.
So far, the petition has 9916 signatures, just 84 short of the 10,000 goal. But even if the target numbers of signatures are reached, we wouldn't count on Fisher Price pulling the product anyway. By the way, parents buying the child seat get access to free apps for the iPad that are made specifically for the age group of those using the seat.
I am writing to urge you to stop selling the Fisher-Price Newborn-to-Toddler Apptivity™ Seat for iPad® device. It's troubling enough when companies promote screen time for babies – the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages any screen time for children under two. But this product is clearly designed to occupy infants alone and free parents up from interacting with them. Placing an iPad directly above baby's face blocks his or her view of the rest of the world. And to make matters even worse, Fisher-Price is marketing the Apptivity Seat -- and claiming it's educational -- for newborns.
Babies need laps, not apps. Fisher-Price should focus on developing products that actually facilitate learning and development instead of encouraging parents to strap down babies -- even those too young to sit up -- inches from a screen.
Please immediately recall the Fisher-Price Newborn-to-Toddler Apptivity™ Seat for iPad® device.

iFisher price. I'll sign the petition. Don't think a iPad will keep any baby occupied
20. tedkord (Posts: 5264; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
They will. I saw a commercial on TV in which a baby was using an iPad to make stock trades from his crib. He was occupied.

That was a commercial !!!!
44. joey_sfb (Posts: 3235; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
There a demand for the product. Most parents pass their old iPad to their toddler. They are already doing it and its popular pacifier for modern parents.
Anyway we reap what we sow.
3. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 1472; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
They shouldn't be using any tablet computers.

How dare parents leave their kids with an interactive iPad! They should neglect them in front of the TV to watch Barney or Dora or 16 and Pregnant like a responsible parent of the previous generation!

9. kozza3 (Posts: 575; Member since: 17 Oct 2012)
if you don't agree with ANY product simply don't buy it!
vote with your wallets!
do not tell me what i can and can not buy.
but i wouldn't buy this anyways :P
edit: not sure how this was a reply to #bigstrudel... nothing personal :D
25. JMartin22 (Posts: 1245; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
To play devil's advocate, consumers aren't always fully aware of their actions and the consequences that they harbor down the line. Sometime's it's not as easy as letting them "vote with your wallet" - sometimes a decision made, isn't always an educated one. But w/e.
8. Furbal (Posts: 403; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
Or let parents raise their kids as they see fit....
11. TBomb (Posts: 171; Member since: 28 Dec 2012)
Nothing against you... but depending on who that is that can reap very bad consequences. Elementary school shooting in CT. The 16 year old drunk driver who "is too rich to go to jail" in Texas.
But I do agree with the point you're making on freedom... but to a certain extent depending on the circumstances.
34. haseebzahid (Posts: 1836; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
dont agree on your opinion. you should atlest be bound to raise a good kid for society then people complain.....
what have this country given us ... then my question is first tell us what kind of genration have you given to your country. just one example
37. Pancholo (Posts: 377; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Cool story, but keep in mind that we're the ones that are gonna have to deal with said kids after their papis and mamis raised them as they saw fit.

Wooowwwwwwwww hahaha. Pathetic petition lol.
13. cozze02 (Posts: 6; Member since: 25 Nov 2012)
Even thought its a crapy iPad, I would let my soon to be genius kid use it
14. makio9 (Posts: 47; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)
Fisher price is the company doing the patent? Ummm..isn't it their product...that they made.
i hate the business world mayne
15. sckortyman (Posts: 23; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
I really really hope no parent uses this thing. However, they have the right to sell it and consumers will decide with their wallets if they feel the same way.
16. PBXtech (Posts: 983; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
At least the baby seat didn't get the worst toy of the year award.
17. pongkie (Posts: 505; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
if it stops the baby from crying why not
19. tigermcm (Posts: 752; Member since: 02 Sep 2009)
shut up and sit down somewhere, unfortunately they will win just like those who shut down your baby can read because a child shouldnt be in front of the tv long. so if this promotes leaving your child unattended wouldnt the regular toys that hang from it do the same?
21. tedkord (Posts: 5264; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Is it ironic that Fisher Price is the target of a campaign to get their product removed from the market because it incorporates a device from a company that is constantly trying to get products removed from the market.
22. JakeLee (banned) (Posts: 1021; Member since: 02 Nov 2013)
Why don't they start a campaign against amoled then?
LED = Light Emitting Diode
Looking at light sources directly harms the eyes regardless of the person's age.
26. o0Exia0o (Posts: 428; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
27. JakeLee (banned) (Posts: 1021; Member since: 02 Nov 2013)
You don't have to live in caves to avoid looking at the sun directly.
28. o0Exia0o (Posts: 428; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
AH, so what you are basically saying is that it so OK to be in the sun light but do not look at device screens (which are dimmer than the sun) because that amount of light is harmful? Does this include all device screens or are you just trolling against a single manufacturer? Which is it?
30. JakeLee (banned) (Posts: 1021; Member since: 02 Nov 2013)
Only amoleds where every pixel consists of up to three light emitting color diodes.
LED backlight on LCD is a different story. Since the light has to pass through the TFT, it isn't considered to be a light emitter.
It's not about luminance.
33. o0Exia0o (Posts: 428; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
And your source for this is what? Please name a source any soruce if you would.
You comparing looking at an OLED screen to looking at the sun is like comparing apples to oranges. The reason that people are told not to stare directly at the sun is because of the sun's light output (which if stared at too long can cause permanente retina damage AKA BLINDNESS)
Lets assume for a moment that your are right. There are hundreds of thousands of manufacturing companies producing hundreds of millions if not billions of products that are being used by people around the world that are harming thier user base by using OLEDs. Companies such as Sony, LG, Mitsubishi and (Yes the company your are trolling against) Samsung just to name a few. Why would they want to harm thier user base whom they make thier money off of? Does that make much sense to you?
How 'bout you take off the old tinfoil hat there and quit trying to be a troll for Apple?
35. JakeLee (banned) (Posts: 1021; Member since: 02 Nov 2013)
Here's what I found in English.
It's scientifically proven that blue lights are the most harmful one.
And blue diodes in amoled have to emit roughly twice as intensive as the other ones for the proper color temperature.
38. Pancholo (Posts: 377; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
That blue link just gave us eye cancer! UGH! The thumb and reply button! What kind of conspiracy is this?!?!
Darn you, JakeLee!
40. JakeLee (banned) (Posts: 1021; Member since: 02 Nov 2013)
Are you kidding? The link works perfectly fine.
46. o0Exia0o (Posts: 428; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
LOL YES! ALL BLUE LIGHTS CAUSE CANCER! At least it does in his world. +1 to you sir.
42. o0Exia0o (Posts: 428; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
A FOURM?? A FOURM??? This is your big proof that OLED screens are harmful? A FOURM? Really? I ask you for proof. A scientific paper, a research study or something and your big proof is a forum? Are you really that much of a blind troll to just go grabbing at straws like this? DUDE REALLY GROW UP! GET A LIFE AND QUIT TROLLING!
43. JakeLee (banned) (Posts: 1021; Member since: 02 Nov 2013)
I told you what I found in *English*
That post is a decent one, and if you want, you can always read original studies the OP is refering.
What's the problem?
24. nexusdude (Posts: 151; Member since: 22 Aug 2013)
Colors, moving objects and sounds are very important for a young child, but these things should NOT be recreated on a 2D surface. My little cousin is just learning to walk and if she's given a smartphone or a tablet she immediately STOPS moving just to watch the colorful animations. What if she sits like this for hours? Such products can cripple future generations. Remember Wall-E?
32. anirudhshirsat97 (Posts: 400; Member since: 24 May 2011)
you make a good point +1

Fisher Price could careless how you'll raise your kids...it is all about $$$$$ and I would not be surprised if they were rewarded for this idea!!!
36. GoBears (Posts: 384; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
Seems like torture to me. No wonder some kids grow up and hate their parents.

It's so sad. In my opinion babies shouldn't be exposed to addicting eye damaging screens.
45. axllebeer (Posts: 266; Member since: 05 Apr 2011)
Some parents should've never became parents in the 1st place. And yes, I am a parent of a 2 year old.
48. Sondae (Posts: 194; Member since: 02 Jan 2013)
This type of idea promotes Parents to be lazy in raising there babies. Babies supposed to be interacting people, surroundings and play as there age not ipad. I wont be surprise if there will be a raise of obese kids and other causes of to much dependent to technology.

My husband said that. Take a look around. Bet you dollars to donuts you won�t find any. That�s because fat people don�t get to be old. If they�re fat they die young. That�s the bottom line. It�s a sad reality. You die in the real physical sense in that your life ends because of disease, but when you�re fat you also die in a figurative sense.
When you�re fat you limit your options. You limit your mobility. You miss out on so much in life. There are many things you can't do.
You can�t walk places or you can walk very little.
You can�t run at all.
You can�t chase your kids or get down on the floor to roll around with them.
You can�t sit go on a roller coaster.
You can�t sit comfortably in a regular airplane seat.
You can�t ride a bike.
You can�t fit into nice clothes or nice shoes.
You can�t stand for too long and are always in search of a seat to take that load off.
When I first joined SparkPeople in March of 2010 the scale read 263 pounds. I never lost the pregnancy weight. The problem was the kid came out but I still had the weight. The bigger problem? The kid had come out 7 years prior. The bigger problem even more? I had gestational diabetes with both my kids, and my mother was a diabetic. This meant that my chances of being diabetic were 50%. Even worse that? Most people with gestational diabetes develop Type 2 diabetes within 7 years unless they take an active role in delaying the onset of the disease with diet and exercise. I knew all of this, yet I did nothing about it. Maybe if I ignore the problem it will go away was my attitude. Well it did not go away.
Almost 7 years from the birth of my youngest child I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This was March 2010. I needed to act and I did. I couldn�t do any of the things I mentioned above, like walking far, running, and getting on a roller coaster. CAN�T was my middle name. But I made a choice to change my life. I lost 45 pounds in 6 months and then I also lost focus. I lost sight of my strategy and my goals and with the lost focus I found 25 of those lost pounds again. It wound up being a 2-year hiatus.
But in November 2012 I found my focus again. With this new found focus I have also made an important realization. I cannot do this alone. I decided to become involved in the Spark online community. My Spark Friends have become a huge part of my journey� much more so than my family and friends. Family and friends are a great support but no one really knows my struggles, my pains, my triumphs, my victories the way my Spark Friends do.
As of this morning the scale reads 222 pounds. I am 3 pounds away from my low of fall of 2010. Thank you Spark Friends! On my Calories R Us team someone started a thread called, �You know you�re a SparkPeople member when� ,� and we had to complete the line. Some of my favorites:
When you try paying for groceries with SparkPoints
When a Spark Goodie is as good as the real thing
When you can have an entire conversation with emoticons
When you use the word spark is used as a verb
When you rush in the morning to look at email notifications and SparkMail
As a result of the online community I have regained a laser like focus that I did not have before. Before, I tried conquering the physical side of the journey without making the mental adjustments. Now I realize I need support.
I have come very far, and yet I still have a long way to go. But let�s look at how far I have come since I restarted my journey in November. In addition to the numbers,
I can now squat a little bit.
I don�t have to hold on to the couch to lower myself into it or get out of it.
I can use my thigh for balance instead of a table, chair or the like when doing stretching exercises
I can cross my legs.
I can fit more loosely into my clothes.
I don�t feel like crying from pain after a Zumba class anymore
I can exercise every day.
Thank you to my wonderful Spark Friends for all your encouragement, comments, and Goodies. They mean so much to me.
By the numbers since 11/6/12:
Exercise Streak - 25 Days
Tracking and within calorie limits - 64 days
Water consumption of 64 oz - 52 days
Pounds lost - 22
BMI � down 3.6 points
Here's to our good health!
Today was a good day! Stepped on the scale and I lost another 1.7 pounds but SP rounds up! I like that!
I had a follow up appointment with my endocrinologist. He was so pleased with the progress on my sugars. He stopped one of the medicines I am on! Hurray!!!!
He said, "you are doing so well. The only thing you need now is to stay motivated."
Stay motivated... Hmmm this is the key for me.
He wants to see me again in 3 months. If I continue along this pace he will take me off another medicine. He said if I lose enough weight and keep exercising I would be able to stop ALL the meds I'm on right now.
How's that for motivation???
I will stay motivated by taking one step at a time, one day at a time.
Which brings me to a review of 2012. I started the year, and continued for 10 months, along an unhealthy path making bad choices. I was conscious of my bad choices. I was loving all that pizza, pasta, dessert several times a week. I was gaining pounds. Many nice articles of clothing kept making their way to the back of the closet because they were too snug and too unflattering to wear. Out came my fat clothes.
By the eleventh month I chose differently. I chose to be healthy by actively choosing well. My choices were 3 simple steps:
1. I started tracking all my food. I followed SP's recommended calorie range
2. I started monitoring my blood by testing twice a day, varying between fasting sugars and different post prandial (after meals) sugars.
3. I began to exercise... I started with 10 minute SP videos and built up to 30 minutes about 3 times a week.
By month 12 of 2012 I made the following adjustments:
1. I reduced SP's calorie range by 400 calories. This included reducing carbs to 35% of my calories versus 50%
2. By monitoring my sugars I was able to pinpoint which foods were the bad triggers. Gone were most grains, sweet potatoes and all breads.
3. I decided to start a cardio exercise streak of a minimum 30 minutes DAILY
My main objective is to control my diabetes. This means glucose in the normal range WITHOUT medicine. This is the GOAL for 2013. My program for getting to my goal is:
1. Eat within a calorie range which will enable an average loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week
2. Consume at least 64 oz of water a day
3. Cardio exercise daily for a minimum of 30 minutes
My execution PLAN to achieve my goal is:
And what is the secret ingredient to guarantee success?
I think it's a winning formula. Now it's time to stand up and deliver!
By the numbers since 11/6/12:
Exercise Streak - 17 Days
Tracking and within calorie limits - 58 days
Water consumption of 64 oz - 44 days
Pounds lost - 18
Medicine - Down 1, 2 more to go!
Here's to our good health!
It has been 15 days of my cardio exercise streak. That is half a month! Day by day I am getting there. Getting exercise has always been my biggest hurdle in my weight loss journey. But here I am at 15 days. I am not thinking about tomorrow. I woke about today and thought to myself I need to get my 30 minutes in... I got 45.
Since it's January 1st... Happy New Year, by the way... I thought I should write down my goals for year. Isn't that what we're supposed to do when a new year rings in? I was also looking at my Spark Page and thinking, geez I need to go in and update it. I haven't really touched it since March of 2010 when I first joined SP. When I restarted back in November I didn't really look at any of that. I just entered my current weight, goal weight, measurements, etc.
So today since I was thinking about goals, I thought I could update my Spark Page as well. Surprise, surprise... there was nothing to update!
My introduction still applies.
My goals still apply.
My program is the same.
My personal information I had to tweak slightly. It said I was living with my husband of 10 years... well, it's 2 years later. We're married 12 years now!
My "Other Information?" I added the line at the end about I love the support I get from my Spark Friends.
This last bit is a huge difference from 2 years ago. Two years ago I did not really take advantage of the SP Community. This is a HUGE part of being successful on this journey. We all need each other to get through the bumps in the road.
I have made my streaks public. I cannot bear to have to say to all of my Spark Friends that I broke the streak so I stick with it. I don't like to exercise. I dare say I rather loathe it! But I got through day 15.
It hurts... I am sore... I get sweaty... I am generating a lot more laundry.
I am sleeping better... I hurt less... My blood sugar is coming down... AND, I FEEL SO GOOD ABOUT MYSELF!!! I am doing it! All because I made a commitment to myself with all of you as my witnesses! I cannot let you down because I would really be letting myself down. You are my accountability partners! I have made myself accountable!
So back to my goals... I don't need goals for my healthcare journey.
I need CONTINUED COMMITMENT!!! I need CONTINUED PERSEVERANCE!!!
That's what we all need! I am sure most of you have made goals to start off the New Year on the right foot.
Are you committed to these goals? What's your work plan to achieve them? Do you have a plan for HOW you will achieve these goals?
What happens when it gets hard? Being the best you can be ain't easy and ain't pretty! It is hard work!
What happens when you fail? Do you give up? No! You fall down, you get back on your feet, dust yourself off and try again... and again... and again. You WILL fail along the way. Probably many times. You go at it again.
It's all about perseverance and sticking to it. It's having the tenacity to keep going.
It reminds me of my 2 sons. They are both very talented baseball players. My sons are only 13 months apart so they tend to do similar things, have similar friends, and compete with one another.
Son #1 is a naturally gifted baseball player. The kid was born to play the game. He loves it. He's had a remarkable swing since he was 18 months old. He works very hard but he's a natural. His form, his technique? It's flawless... he just looks good.
Son #2 is very talented, but he does not have that natural ability his brother has. He doesn't look quite as good. Doesn't have the perfect form. But what this kid lacks in natural ability he more than makes up for with sheer will and tenacity. During practice one time I saw him swing and miss 15 balls in a row. Everyone was getting antsy. I was squirming, my heart aching for him. But then he connected and hit 4 in a row. After practice, already losing daylight, we were anxious to get home and start dinner. I saw my son walk up to his coach and ask him if he was willing to stay for a little bit and work with him on his hitting. I got a bit annoyed. I was tired, hungry... I wanted to go home. But I sucked it up. There was a lesson there for ME!!
The coach started throwing to him. He missed the first 4 pitches. Whiffed right through them. Coach made a couple of suggestions about his stance. He then went on to connect and hit the next 16 balls in a row. They went far, they went deep... long flies, hard line drives, hard grounders. My heart was soaring! I was so proud. I wasn't proud because he was hitting so well. I was proud because most kids would have cried and given up. He just refused to stop working. He tried and tried.
They say we learn from our kids. Both my kids work so very hard. They have so much discipline. They are both scholars as well. I would like to think they learned some of that discipline and hard work from me, therefore I know it's within me to succeed on this journey. I just have to persevere and keep my eye on the prize!
In 2013 my goals, my program are the same as before. I reaffirm my commitment to persevering and TRUSTING the process. There will be bumps along the way but I must stick to the plan.
Will you stick to your plan? Will you stay committed? Will you persevere? Yes, we CAN do this!! Together!!

Here's to our good health!
There isn't a full length mirror in my house anywhere. In the dresser mirror I can see waist up only because the bed is in the way. I can't back up. Bathroom mirrors allow me to see chest up. Never really thought about this before. I don't know why there isn't a full length mirror. Maybe there is a reason and it is buried deep down.
I have always had a poor body image.
Always... I can't ever remember feeling good about my body.
I hate shopping for clothes. When I do shop I usually gravitate towards what I know will be somewhat flattering. It's a functional process. Get in. Get out. Done! No enjoyment whatsoever in trying on different types of clothes. Odds are I will be disappointed.
I remember when I was younger, the thing I hated to hear more than anything... ANYTHING, was, "Oh, you have such a pretty face."
I didn't want a pretty face. I wanted to hear, "Oh, you are so pretty." I don't ever remember anyone saying that to me... EVER!
That changed when I met my husband. There were many toads along the way before one finally turned into a prince. And a prince he was! And I should say is. Of course I was much thinner back then but I still had plenty of rolls... Oh I could definitely pinch way more than an inch when I met him! But somehow he saw beyond that. He did see a beautiful woman... I guess love really is blind!
I tell you all this because as I was perusing blogs and Spark pages today, I realized that so many people post pictures along the way. Weight loss pictures... chronicles of weight loss with pictures as the evidence of progress. I thought to myself that's something I should do also.
I called my prince and asked him to do the honors. I stood there in my under-garments... isn't that the obligatory photo op? Anyway, the prince snapped away with the camera. Snap, snap, snap. Frontal view, side view, the other side view.
As I looked at the pics I felt like someone had kicked me in the stomach. It was a stunning shock to look at myself. No wonder I don't have full length mirrors in my house. And I have never looked at myself like that with barely any clothes.
I hated looking at those pictures. I really did. I cried. It brought back so many painful memories from middle school and high school. I won't discuss those memories here now.
I sat and wondered is it really possible that there's a thin me underneath all that blubber? Is there really a beautiful body locked away dying for some Aladdin to come along and rub the magic lamp to free the beautiful genie in a bottle?
After I was done feeling sorry for myself, I wiped away my tears and realized that I AM Aladdin. I AM the one that will free the beautiful body buried within me.
I can't let this be a pity party. I have done that for far too many years. I am DONE with I CAN'T!! I CAN, I CAN, I CAN!! I have to TRUST the process! I need to get through each day... one at a time! Just one day... when that day is finished, I get up and do it again. I have to take strength from small victories.
I got through today. I ate well, I exercised, and I drank my water. I got 6 servings of fruits and vegetables. Today goes in the WIN column. Tomorrow is another day, and the process starts anew.
I have to TRUST the process. Somewhere deep down there is a beautiful body. Eventually it will come out.
By the numbers since 11/6/12:
Exercise Streak - 13 Days
Tracking and within calorie limits - 54 days
Water consumption of 64 oz - 40 days
Here's to our good health!
Day 10 is now in the bag, but I learned something today. Since I started the streak I have always done my exercise first thing in the morning. I would get up, get my exercise out of the way and move on. It was always such a relief knowing that I honored my commitment.
Today was different. I got up and started doing stuff. I gathered laundry, emptied the dishwasher, puttered around doing things. It was then time to run errands... I missed my opportunity to exercise in the morning. All day long it was a heavy weight on my shoulders. It was a constant preoccupation. Had it not been for the streak I would have said the heck with it but I couldn't do that. Finally after dinner I did 50 minutes of Zumba Rush. Streak intact. Worry over. Lesson learned.
Exercise should happen first thing in the morning... at least in my case. But really, as long as you're getting the exercise it doesn't matter when you do it. The important thing is to just do it!
I am also keenly aware of something else. I started the exercise streak on December 18th. It was the second day of my Christmas vacation. I have not done any of this during the course of my normal routine. I don't go back to work until January 3rd. I am curious how daily exercise will affect my normal routine. Well, it just has to get done. Period. Full stop.
Getting my minimum of 8 glasses of water each day is a breeze since I exercise. I can usually down 32 oz during and after my workout.
With 4 days left in the year I am starting to think about the year ahead. I hope the best of 2012 is the worst of 2013 for everyone. I don't particularly like resolutions, but setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) is important. I have been giving some thought to my SMART goals. I will share these in due course.
How about you? Do you have SMART goals you want to achieve in 2013? I would love to hear about them.
By the numbers since 11/6/12:
Exercise Streak - 10 Days
Tracking and within calorie limits - 51 days
Water consumption of 64 oz - 37 days
Here's to our good health!

I usually try not to comment too much on players' appearance, but Shriekapova has traded a lot on her so-called golden girl looks. Well, those looks seem to have faded dramatically at the YEC today. Maybe the genes are starting to kick in. Ivanovic and Hantuchova are much prettier girls, but only Ivanovic is getting any publicity on her looks (her stronger record may have something to do with it). OK, back to regular tennis!

I'm proud to be an Arizonan. My name is Isaac Ortiz, and I am an 8th grader at Willis Jr high. Why I'm proud to be is three reasons and I'm going to tell you.
One is the weather. The weather is very nice here. Why, because the weather is one temperature which is good. Why because its good for you and its nice too. I like the weather here because I like to do lot of things outside.
Some of the attractions here are really are fun to go to. Like going to the zoo. Going to the zoo is fun. At one of the zoos you can see a white alligator, which is awesome. Water parks, we have a lot of them. They are fun to go because you see a lot of hot girls. Then you can go to the big hole, a.k.a the Grand Canyon. It's really cool and you can walk over it. That's just some of the attractions.
Things you can do on your own like ride bikes are one of them. It's really fun to ride bikes over here because its mostly dirt road and big hills. Also, the stores we have over here are really fun to go to. Like going to mall. The good food we have here. It's awesome. Another thing you can do is go to a museum.
Then you can do whatever you want like go skydiving. That all I have to say about AZ that just some of the fun stuff you can do. I'm so happy that I live her because there are some very nice people here.

2nd the late "breakfast" after a morning out. Eggs definitely, meat maybe some fruit. Beer goes well too.
2nd the late "breakfast" after a morning out. Eggs definitely, meat maybe some fruit. Beer goes well too.
Tacos, sour gummy worms, and mountain dew. Regardless of time place or day. Gotta hit those basic food groups.
Crab Quesadilla, shrimp taco, fish taco, rice & beans...and of course, some hoppy pale ale.
That place by 'Teague is called Smoker's, I think...pass it all the time and always regret not stopping, unless your talking about the spot on 50 by Royal Farms.
Due to my job, I usually surf in the evening. Even though I brew beer and love beer, my favorite post sesh routine is to hit Hometeam BBQ on Sullivan's and consume a 32oz painkiller, followed by a few smoked wings. Completely unhealthy, but it always hits the spot.
Flaming Amy's burrito bar and Flaming Amy's bowl in wilmington, nc....hands down the bomb!!!
No need, I munch on barnacles for apps seaweed and grass for my entree and jellies for dessert as I go.
Gotta say, post dawn patrol, nothing beats fried eggs and salsa. If it's lunch time I'm a big fan of sardine sandwiches, avocados, and as much liquid as possible haha. After the rare evening session I'm hankering for some meat and a bed
