After the first look, it was time for lots of pictures!
I had made a pretty thorough list for our photographers at Brown Lab Photography, and they were amazing at helping to make sure we got everything done all afternoon. We knew we wanted some standard type stuff, but part of why we picked them was their eye for getting some artistic shots, too! And at the end of the day, they also knew that we just wanted to have some fun and not be so serious all day... so they were awesome at capturing some just-for-fun shots as well.
We spent the first part of the afternoon getting shots of us along with photos of us with Connor before moving on to the wedding party. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. I'll share the wedding party pictures next.
The above is pretty much my favorite picture of Connor ever! We are definitely getting a print made of this one!
We took a series of shots in the elevators. They're all good, but this one where one of our photographers popped out cracks me up!
The above is one of our absolute favorite photos of the two of us from the day!
Adam (or someone) had to help me haul that dress around all day!
We had a little bit of downtime to relax before the ceremony!
I'm not big on photos of just me, but I actually really like this one! I feel like it reflects how happy I felt!

AccuWeather.com reports people of the Plains will need to keep an eye on the weather this week for a multiple-day severe thunderstorm outbreak that will be complete with tornadoes.
A couple of slow-moving storm systems will be responsible for multiple rounds of severe weather over the Central states through Friday.
Spotty thunderstorms can become severe for a brief time Monday over part of Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota.
During Tuesday and Wednesday, thunderstorms can become briefly severe farther south from Texas to Kansas and Missouri. The storms on Wednesday could be known for large hail, ahead of a push of warm, humid air.
"We are looking at Thursday to be the first decent setup for tornadoes this spring," stated AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions Storm Warning Meteorologist Rebecca Elliott.
Thursday will likely be the most active day of the week, in terms of severe weather, across the southern Plains as a potent storm from the West clashes with warm, humid air streaming in from the Gulf of Mexico.
Warm, humid conditions will be established by Thursday centered on Arkansas, but including most of the neighboring states.
In addition to the tornado threat, there exists the potential for numerous thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds, large hail and blinding downpours on Thursday.
Cities likely in the path of Thursday's severe weather outbreak include Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla.; Fayetteville, Fort Smith and Little Rock, Ark.; and Dallas, Waco and Tyler, Texas; Joplin, Springfield and Cape Girardeau, Mo.; and Shreveport, La.
The violent thunderstorms may press to the lower Mississippi and Ohio valleys Thursday night and on Friday.
Residents throughout the South Central states should continue to check back with AccuWeather.com as details on the severe weather threat unfold, especially concerning the storms during the second half of the week.
The running total of tornadoes so far this year is lagging behind average.
The behavior of this season's severe weather season is consistent with the AccuWeather.com Long Range Forecast Team's synopsis that this year's severe weather and tornado threat will spike later than usual.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story was written by Kristina Pydynowski, senior meteorologist for AccuWeather.com.

Can't Touch Your Toes Either? ~ Manon Newberry
Will I be the only yoga teacher who can't touch her toes?
If you're a yogi, you've had someone tell you, "I can't do yoga because I'm not flexible." I hear this a lot, and people don't know what to say when I tell them I'm not flexible either.
Just the other day, a co-worker said "Really? You still can't touch your toes after all the yoga you've been doing?"
I smiled and said something about everybody being different.
Yoga is not a magic pill. Do yoga and be happy. Do yoga and find inner peace. Do yoga and be flexible.
It doesn't work that way.
I am not flexible and that is okay.
It took me a long time to get here, but now I have made it, and I quite like it. Last year during a hatha class, I was struggling to get close to the floor in dragonfly pose when it occurred to me that it didn't matter. I realized having my nose touch the ground would not make me happier, smarter or a better person. It would just make me a person who could touch the floor with her face.
That doesn't mean I don't struggle with my tight muscles and sometimes wish I could raise my leg higher in standing splits, instead of hanging out in what I like to call "standing right angle".
I enjoy hot yoga because it loosens me up and makes me feel freer.
Yoga is a very personal practice, so how deep I get in my dragonfly pose really doesn't affect other people. However, I'm starting my yoga teacher training in a couple of days and it's bringing up some of my old insecurities about my un-flexible self. Insecurities that I thought had gone away.
Will I be the only yoga teacher who can't touch her toes?
What if someone asks me to demonstrate a pose and I can't do it? Will people take me seriously as a teacher if I can't do the poses to their full extent? I have no problems falling out of side crow or fallen angel. In fact, I enjoy poses which challenge my strength and balance. One of the reasons I wanted to become a yoga teacher was to help people realize that it's okay to fall down.
Falling down can actually be a lot of fun. I am, as my teacher Ichih Wang says, blessed with stiffness. A lot of people struggle with flexibility, and maybe they could use a teacher who understands what they are going through. I need to remind myself of the girl who decided there were more important things in life than getting her nose to the ground.
I've made friends with several of my yoga teachers, and when I told them I was going to do my teacher training, each one of them had lovely things to say. Not a single person mentioned I am not flexible because it is not important. I don't expect my yoga teachers to be perfect; therefore, I can't hold myself to a perfection standard either.
I am happy being me, even if my toes are out of reach.

I can totally relate to this. As an inflexible yoga teacher, I sometimes judge myself when I'm instructing and most of my students can go deeper into a pose, but then I quickly remember that it's not about the flexibility and I need to remain judgement free as I teach to my students.
Manon, Flexibility is over-rated and glamorized in the pursuit of yoga asana. Check out my recent article in EJ called When Flexibility becomes a liability. Touching your toes as a measure of flexibility or a way to be become flexible is a myth. Did you ever think that the reason why you cannot touch your toes without bending your knees is because humans are not designed to do that? Try to walk without bending your knees. Feel like driving with a brake on? What is it that we are stretching when we do uttanasana or paschiomottasana without bending our knees? Its the ligaments in our sacral/lumbar region and important knee stabilizers. The fact that you cannot touch your toes without bending your knees shows that you have a healthy balance of strength and range of motion. When we try to touch our toes without bending our knees, we are stressing the forces that stabilize our joints. The flexy bendy people can fall into these poses and it may even feel 'good' to them but down the road, the years of hanging in the joints to perform poses that over-ride natural anatomical function can lead to a host of joint issues and a potentially disastrous state of looseness, instability and hypermobility.
When we feel tight or stiff, most people think that they can do poses that stretch parts of the body and that somehow this is going to change tension dynamics in the body. No animal has to lay around and stretch for an hour to find balance. Humans have rearranged their natural biomechanics by sitting in a right angle chair that compresses the diaphragm movements, and the entire trunk area of the body uses the chair back for support. Our deep forces of posture linked to breathing become dormant and atrophied. Most people feel tight and stiff in their body because the deep posture muscles are not engaged and the muscles of the extremities designed to contract to move our arms and legs, are now also trying to keep the body upright and stable. Engaging the body in more right angles like staff and plow pose and pulling on the seams ( the joints) , is not going to fix the tension imbalance from our modern lifestyle. It just makes no anatomical sense. All yoga poses and stretches should simulate how the body is designed to move in real life anatomical function. When we do not feel tension, we feel flexible however this just means that our muscle balance is set at natural, optimal muscles' resting length. When muscles are at a less than optimal length, it means decreased mobility, altered movement patterns and potential for injury. These issues with tension imbalances can better be fixed using self guided PNF techniques and resistance stretching in positions that simulate how we move. No need to touch your toes. When we become hypermobile, there is also tension deep in the body. Ligaments have been stretched that have undermined joint functions and now there is tension in muscles trying to make up for the lack of stability in the joints. I see this all the time with yoga clients who have stretched themselves way past anatomically neutral and now feel pain and tension caused by a lack of joint stability forces. Michaelle at yogalign
So glad touching your toes is not a sign of flexibility. It is a relief especially if you are a guy, because most men would love to take yoga classes, where you do not have to look like Gumby! It seems like modern yoga is about performing poses, not about natural alignment and breath. It is starting to remind me of Billy Crystal from Saturday Night live from the 70's. he played this character called Fernando. He had a saying" it is not how you feel, it is how you look! I love teaching yoga and love reminding my students, it is how you feel in a pose, not how it looks.
I'm also a yoga instructor (planning for my teacher training in 2014 – the year I also turn 50) who can't touch her toes. In addition, I have a bum shoulder, arthritis in my hip, a blown knee from ice hockey, and according to my chiropractor no curve in my cervical spine. I love yoga, and my chosen specialty is a gentle, modified yoga class full of props and chairs for beginners, for older adults, for those who also have medical conditions or are recovering from injuries. I'm afraid of what teacher training will entail, but I want to do it. With your admission of being nervous and not being flexible, you're inspiring me to continue. Thank you!

DePaul Opens with Strong Indoor Debut
Dec. 7, 2012
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – In its first meet of the 2012-13 indoor track and field season, the DePaul Blue Demons were led by a young core that included a assembly of freshman along with some Blue and Gold Invitational veterans.
Among some of the more notable performances on the women's side at the Notre Dame-hosted event was University Park native and freshman Tayler Whittler, who picked up BIG EAST Conference qualifying times in her collegiate debut when she ran a second-place time of 25.14 in the 200-meter dash. Whittler also notched a 7.83-second, fifth-place time in the 60-meter.
Sophomore thrower Jazmyne Durrah was the only Blue Demon to top an event on the day as she registered two BIG EAST qualifying distances on the day. In the shot put, Durrah notched a career-best 13.54-meter distance to place second. The 13.54 meters was over a whole meter greater than her previous-best mark.
In the weight throw, Durrah prevailed over the competition. Notching another career-best mark with a 17.86-meter toss, Durrah took first place, besting her previous top throw by 0.78 meters.
Other notable performances on the women's side included solid times from Ayesha Ewing, who ran a 7.84-second 60-meter and a 25.31-second 200-meter, just off the BIG EAST required time.
Loreal Curtis and Lindsey Holden also barely missed out on a BIG EAST time in the 400-meter dash, but Alexandra Muller hit the conference mark in the 1,000-meter run with a 2:58.27 time.
For the DePaul men, Brandon Threats ran a solid 23.01-second time in the men's 200-meter to earn fourth place. In the men's 400-meter, Tonderai Tomu earned a BIG EAST worthy time of 48.73 to place third while freshman Mac Melto ran a 48.75 time to also meet the conference qualifications.
Also among DePaul's BIG EAST qualifies was sophomore Adam Kovacs whose 15.35-meter distance in the weight throw was nearly two full meters than his previous-best indoor mark.
The Blue Demons are now without competition until after the new year. On January 12, DePaul heads to the University of Wisconsin to compete at the Badger Track Classic in Madison.

Jason D. Comet was weary of instructing uninspired piano students.
He was especially tired of a common refrain among them: I didnt practice this week.
So youd spend the entire half hour lesson reteaching the lesson again, Mr. Comet said. They didnt retain any information.
Meanwhile the students enthusiasm for learning waned and Mr. Comets zeal to teach piano dwindled.
I thought there had to be a better way, he said.
He also noticed that youngsters involved in group extracurricular activities like karate, band and gymnastics who were inspired.
I thought why do we still do piano one-on-one? Mr. Comet said. Theres no camaraderie there, no relationships built up and they dont work with other kids.
Mr. Comet, owner of Comet Music Studio in Watertown, used to teach organ to adults in a group setting. He asked himself why he couldnt modify that approach to teach children.
He looked for programs he could use and settled upon the Mayron Cole Piano Method, based in Texas. Its self-described as Americas Leading Group Piano Method. It launched in 1988.
This summer was a chance for Mr. Comet to experiment with the new approach.
As far as I know, I am the only teacher offering group piano lessons for kids in the north country, he said.
One-week summer classes were held at the North Country Arts Council, the Carthage YMCA, the Fairgrounds YMCA and at Double Play Sports Community Center in Lowville. More than 60 students took part.
Todays digital instruments, prices, sizes and capabilities make this unique classroom approach possible, Mr. Comet said.
He will offer a free, 45-minute introductory piano class at 10 a.m. Saturday at his Arts on the Square studio, 50 Public Square.
Mr. Comet totes along a fleet of seven digital pianos, each about 4 feet long. He uses one, and six students use the others. At his introductory class on Saturday, more than one student will share the mini pianos.
But the class is about more than technology. The way of teaching is also different. Utilizing games and other age-appropriate activities, the classes are divided up into several sections. Students also play music in ensemble each person playing a different part creating a sort of piano orchestra.
One week well introduce a concept and the next week well add a new concept but review both concepts, Mr. Comet said. The next week, well add a new concept and review all three concepts.
Mr. Comet said the Cole method has resulted in higher retention rates in attendance and knowledge over private lessons. Course levels start at one and go through level nine.
inspired by others
Piano parent Jaime A. Ninan of Fort Drum said the group approach of Mr. Comets classes have made a significant difference for her daughter, Amara, age 5, who attended a summer class held at Arts on the Square and plans to attend an upcoming group of classes.
When its in a group, you know how to keep up with others, Mrs. Ninan said. If they dont understand, they kind of pick it up easier because they see someone else doing it.
Mrs. Ninan said her daughter had previously taken private piano lessons but didnt show much progress.
I had piano lessons, and I knew how she should be reacting to the music, Mrs. Ninan said. But since she came to Jasons class, shes very confident, she knows the notes and she understands the methodology behind the piano.
Mrs. Ninan said shes confident that if Amara didnt take lessons for the next 10 years, she would be able to come back and pick up where she left off.
Before, she wouldnt have been able to do that, Mrs. Ninan said. What Jason is using is a very good foundation for her.
Mr. Comet said students play their assignments together at the start of each class.
The students know if they didnt practice, they will not be able to keep up, he said of the controlled competition.
Mr. Comet tells his students to practice twice a day. His classes are built around the school calendar year and are held daily after school. He can also work with home-schooled students before public and parochial schools let out for the day.
The monthly tuition is $70. Course levels have accompanying books and CDs, which cost $33.
Mr. Comet plans to expand his group piano teaching method by hosting adult classes.
Opportunity knocks
The Double Play Sports Community Center in Lowville hosted a week-long class by Mr. Comet over the summer for five students. It targeted underprivileged students and youth at risk, said Daniel M. Myers, the centers executive director. The class was part of the centers George Davis Scholarship program it received this year in collaboration with the Northern New York Community Foundation.
Mr. Myers, who teaches special education in Lowville to high school students through Jefferson-Lewis Board of Educational Services, said he was impressed with Mr. Comets piano instruction.
Im always looking for different ways that I can get kids interested to learn and to especially enrich kids, Mr. Myers said. There are kids who can be great musicians but dont have the opportunity.
Mr. Myers added, Jason made it very interesting so they could pick it up fast enough. In a weeks time, they knew part of a song they could all do.
Shawna Cutuli, senior program director for the Watertown YMCA, said the children in Mr. Comets Ys summer camps also enjoyed his classes.
We were very pleased to have his program for the summer and hope to offer some more classes, she said.

Dafni Greek Taverna, New York NY
Salata me Ahladi
There was barely anyone inside when we went to Dafni Greek Taverna for lunch. Our server was very friendly, however, and the atmosphere provided a quieter, more relaxing place than the bustling New York City streets.
The Salata me Ahladi had roasted pears, raisins, and dried figs over mesclun. It was supposed to be pecans instead of figs but I guess they ran out. Fine with me – I love figs too much! The portion was not huge but the pears were so sweet since they were brushed with either honey or syrup. I like everything that's sweet so it was perfect for me.

Winner of the Wireless HP Photosmart C6380
We have a winner! Thank you so much to all who entered the contest, there were 1642 of you.
The random number thingamabob chose lucky number:
1337, who is BECKY!
Becky wrote how Living Wirelessly, Printing Wirelessly would help her by:
This is an awesome giveaway that can create fabulous opportunities! My hubby and I are both teachers, and we work from our laptops from dusk to dawn. We are constantly running up and down two flights of stairs to hook up our computers to the printer and print what we need for school and for our grad classes. I am also a big scrapper, both traditional and digi. This printer would make printing my pages and pics so much easier. HP is all about quality, and I know my memories would be preserved in high quality. Though I may gain weight from not running up and down steps to plug in and print, I am willing to take that chance. I would love to say goodbye to the days of leaving my comfy, cozy work couch to go upstairs and print what I need! Thank you again for the opportunity!
~ Becky
Congratulations, Becky. I hope you and your hubby get a lot of great use out of your new printer.
and psst. you could always try The CrockPot Diet if you're worried about gaining weight... ;-)
Happy President's Day!
New recipes (still pork. but I think I may actually be done with the pork thing in about a week...) coming up tomorrow.
Have a fantastic day. xoxo steph

This old heart can only take so much.
Poor Aksana. She never really became good, but she worked her Lithuanian butt off and elevated her badness until she achieved a sort of transcendent awfulness. Or maybe she is actually good — I mean, I'm pretty sure she's not, but I dunno. I know I can't tear my eyes away during her matches. Of course that's largely because she's usually legit beating the f-ck out of whatever poor girl is in there with her, so maybe it's best she's gone, but still…[sounds the 21 porno sax salute].
Best: Wyatt vs. Ambrose
This match was really damn good — probably Bray's best since his battle with Daniel Bryan at Royal Rumble. This is one of those matches where you kind of wish the guys were main eventers, because if these two were really allowed to cut loose, this would have been a classic. Hopefully in a year or two when both guys are former champs, this match will be looked back upon as an early, forgotten Bray/Ambrose classic.
Dean Ambrose is the perfect opponent for Bray. As I've mentioned in the past, Bray is big, but not that big and he works best against smaller guys who can pinball off him and make his monster offense look legit. Ambrose definitely fits that bill, and he can answer every weird tick and crazy face from Bray with a weird tick and crazy face of his own. Both guys beat the tar out of each other, and Ambrose had some wonderfully idiosyncratic moments while selling, like the bit where he just started flopping face-and-shoulder first into the mat multiple times to get feeling back in the shoulder after Bray slammed it into the apron. I mean, I think that's what he was doing. Regardless, it was amusing stuff.
Even the distraction finish was better than usual. When Rollins popped up on the announce table Ambrose didn't just point and shout and await his roll-up, he went after the f-cker. If you really hate somebody so much that the mere sight of them makes you lose all concentration and composure, you don't just stand there bugging your eyes out, you go introduce that jerk to your fist. The finish of this match felt like a real moment as opposed to an overused WWE trope.
So yeah, awesome match that you should totally go out of your way to see. Or, you know, enjoy it when they do it again on Raw.

Many mamas-to-be have a birth plan in hand and a distinct vision for how her labor and delivery should look. As well-intentioned as our plans, philosophies and approaches to motherhood may be, they often divide us, as mothers and women.
When it comes to birth, epidural mamas think the natural ones are crazy for muscling through. Homebirthers can't imagine why a scheduled C-section lady would choose medical intervention. All of them have a sweet baby ready to burst forth, and their control over how it grew in them and how it will leave is minimal, at best.
I can feel the shudder of our invested spectators – husbands, grandmas, infertile mamas-in-waiting – exclaiming, "It's not about you! There's a child coming."
It's true, of course. But that doesn't take away from the absolutely life-changing experience that ushers a baby earthside. Childbirth is hard and miraculous and beautiful and bloody, and the way we go through it doesn't change any of that.
I can say that, because I've had a water birth without drugs and a highly drugged C-Section. Allow me to share. Heads up: this could get graphic, and not just because it's about a breach birth! You can read about my first birth, the au natural one, here.
- My journey was mine. After a difficult third trimester, I finally went into labor one night! And the night after that, and the night after that. Three nights of regular contractions, punctuated by days of a calm, bored uterus. That third and last night, my husband and I finally made it to the birthing center at 2 a.m., where I labored inconsistently and just generally felt like things were off. Six hours later, we got an ultrasound and realized baby was breach. We transferred to the hospital and went from pre- to post-op in an hour. But every step of the way – no matter how unexpected – was ours. I had the choice to embrace the process or fear it, to trust God or delve into doubts and anxiety. I had the choice to celebrate her birth story, with all of its twists and turns.
- I was surrounded by caring professionals. My midwife from the birthing center rode in the back of our car for the two-minute drive to the hospital, and she stayed with me through those pesky contractions that weren't getting my baby any closer to my arms. (The doctor strongly advised that I get a C-section instead of aim for a vaginal birth, because I had labored for so long and only progressed to 3 cm). Then the midwife kissed my belly and said, "You get to meet your parents soon, sweet girl," as I was rolled into the operating room. The nurses and the anesthesiologist were so caring and gentle that I kind of want to buy them a car or a vacation or a steak or something, every time I think of them. I actually think back on my few days at the hospital with the same warm and fuzzies as I do our honeymoon. Must be the oxytocin.
- I had instant bonding with the babe. I will admit that the euphoria of pushing a baby out and bringing her to my chest in a birthing tub is quite different from feeling the yanks and tugs of some masked medical professionals, who pull my baby out and hold her above the curtain for me to see briefly. But the few seconds from when the baby was inside me to outside me where traumatic either way. I felt like a victim in the C-section – unable to move, drugged, sterile, vulnerable – and a victor in the natural birth – drained and veiny like a deflated Hulk who can finally rest. But when my baby was finally on my chest, she was home. And at that point, it didn't matter how she got there, just that she was there!
- My body felt like an art project. Yes, pregnancy is beautiful, I'm a work of art and our baby is fearfully knit together and whatnot. But seriously? I got stapled. Tiny little staples kept my stitches shut. And with the natural birth? I got sewn up with what might as well have been yarn and a knitting needle, because that hurt like nobody's business. The professionals who kept my insides from coming outside were skilled, and I'm so grateful that I've healed nicely on all accounts. But, like I said before, birthing of any sort is a bloody business.
- I was humbled. My first birth looked exactly like I had hoped. My second, the C-section, was nothing like what I wanted. They were both in God's hands, and he is sovereign over all. What makes me strong enough to push out a baby unmedicated? To face the unknown with hope? To wake up as a mama at all hours of the night, for weeks/months/years? Nothing that I've done on my own. I am no more blessed with two sweet girls than the mama whose baby couldn't make it past 12 weeks or the parents who sprinkled kisses on their stillborn child. For all the joy in the world, there is sure a lot of sorrow. Maybe being a mom has made me more aware of both sides to that coin; maybe that's just a lesson life teaches, without discrimination. But God's goodness is true and real and reaches a lonely woman's tears as well as a gleeful baby's giggles.
I so wish that we mamas could look past our differences to see our similarities: the miraculous little poop-machines sucking us dry and giving us life, simultaneously. And I wish that as women, we could learn to sit in the hard times together: the unexpected surgeries, miscarriages, unfulfilled desires and unmet expectations. I really hate pain, physical or emotional, my own or someone else's. My first instinct is always to hide, isolate and wish the pain away. But my births have shown me a glimpse at the rewards of hunkering down, steadfast and out of love, and facing the ups and downs that time brings, together. We gain life.

by Roberto Olivardia,
Mike (not his
real name) is a twenty-seven-year-old single male with a thirteen-year history of
binge eating disorder. He would eat two gallons of ice cream, a large
pizza, a dozen donuts, and two hamburgers two to three times per week
until he was sick. He could not stop. He has been to various therapists over the
years, some who were eating disorder specialists, and no therapy or
antidepressant seemed to help. All the while, his weight was dangerously
increasing by the year and his self-esteem was plummeting to nothing.
His last therapist said he was "treatment resistant" and probably did
not want to get better.
When I first met Mike, I saw a man
who desperately wanted to be free of this eating disorder. Upon further
inquiry, I discovered some important details about Mike and his
treatment history. He reported that he could not get himself to the
appointments on time. He would often sleep through them. He had every
intention of filling out a food log, but would lose it or simply forget
to do it. "I always say I will follow through, but I just can't."
He often skipped meals because he would be working through lunch, unable
to get out of his hyperfocus. Then he was hit with hunger at dinner and
ended up "pigging out." After much assessment, history
taking, and a
comprehensive clinical interview, it was absolutely clear that Mike had
undiagnosed ADHD. It was when we applied this lens to his eating
disorder that Mike made progress for the first time in his thirteen-year
battle with food. He is now of normal weight and working day by day at
managing his food intake.
LITERATURE REGARDING ADHD and eating disorders, weight,
and obesity. Eating disorders come in many forms. Anorexia
nervosa is a disorder characterized by starvation and a fear of
fatness. Bulimia nervosa is characterized by binge eating
episodes (eating a larger than average amount of food in a short period
of time to a point of being uncomfortably full). This binge is then
compensated for by a method of purging, including self-induced vomiting,
excessively exercising, fasting, laxative use, or use of diuretics and
diet pills. Binge eating disorder is the binge eating without the
purging. However, there are many people who might not fit the above
criteria for a clinical eating disorder yet struggle with food. In
addition, there is an epidemic of obesity in the United
Recent research
studies have begun to see an association between ADHD and eating
problems. A study in 2005 assessed morbidly obese teenage boys and girls
at an obesity clinic and found that fifty-eight percent had ADHD, which
is significantly higher than what you would see in the general
population. What was striking was that sixty percent of the adolescents
were undiagnosed prior to the study. A study of obese patients who were
getting gastric bypass surgery found that almost one-third had
inattentive ADD. For those patients who had a body mass index over 40
(morbidly obese), the rate of ADD was almost half. A recent study found
that girls with ADHD are at high risk for bulimia nervosa compared to
their non-ADHD peers. A 2004 study of ADHD patients found that ten
percent of subjects had an eating disorder sometime in their life, which
is higher than what we would expect in the general
ADHD as a predisposing factor
How can ADHD predispose someone to
develop an eating disorder or become obese?
People with ADHD
have difficulty with the executive function of organization. Eating
healthy requires a high degree of organization. If you plan on cooking a
meal for dinner, you need to start thinking about it hours before.
Perhaps you need to defrost the meat. You may need to run to the market
to get ingredients you don't have at home. Or, you might have to
pick up your child from soccer practice and make sure that the meal is
made before you go. People with ADHD often think about meals at the time
they are due to eat. This leads to relying on fast foods, microwaveable
meals, or takeout food, most of which are high in sodium, sugar, and
is also a challenge for those with ADHD. In order to eat healthy, you
need to be attentive to physical cues of hunger and fullness. Many with
ADHD skip meals if they are hyperfocused on a task. Once a meal is
skipped, metabolism decreases and cravings for fat, carbohydrates, and
sugar increase. Many with ADHD report not getting enough sleep because
it is too hard to shut their minds off at night. When we are sleep
deprived, a hormone in our body called leptin decreases, which then
results in storage of body fat, as well as cravings for fat. It is
harder to lose weight if you are not sleeping properly.
It is common for
people with ADHD to eat while doing another activity, like watching
television. This can lead to overeating, since one's ability to be
mindful is compromised. Many report feeling grounded and focused by the
sensory aspects (smell, taste, texture, touch, visual) of eating.
Eating can be a
means of quelling the stress, anger, and/or sadness that can arise from
the challenges of having ADHD. The most common emotion I hear my
patients with ADHD reporting that trigger their binge eating is boredom.
When they feel little stimulation, they gravitate to food as the
surefire, accessible form of stimulation. After all, food is always
available, is legal, and is sensory stimulating. Eating can also be a
relief from racing thoughts and distractibility. College students with
ADHD might binge before writing a paper as a way to help them focus.
Patients who self-induce vomiting report a euphoric stimulation that
comes along with purging. They report an intense ability to focus
immediately after vomiting. The problem, of course, is that bulimia is
associated with several serious health problems, notably cardiac
problems that can lead to death.
ADHD brains tend
to have low levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is involved in
reward systems and thrill-seeking behavior. When there are low levels of
dopamine in the brain, people tend to seek out activities that will
elevate these levels and produce a reward. Eating is one such
Treating both disorders
Although there
are many factors that make people with ADHD at risk for eating disorders
or obesity, the encouraging news is that these issues can be treated,
provided that the relationship between the ADHD and the eating disorder
is fully understood.
Clinicians too quickly dismiss ADHD as an important factor in this
problem and it comes at a cost. A therapist with knowledge in both areas
is essential. If you cannot find a therapist who specializes in both,
find a therapist who specializes in eating disorders and add an ADHD
therapist or coach to your treatment so that the two professionals can
work in conjunction in wholly treating the eating problem. Eating
disorders are serious and need to be carefully treated and monitored as
they can lead to serious medical consequences. Traditional modes of
treatment might need to be creatively adjusted in order to work with the
ADHD symptoms.
Develop an ADHD-friendly list of alternative forms of stimulation.
Meditation might work for some people to reduce stress, but some with
ADHD would find it impossible to quiet their minds that much.
Don't waste your time on strategies that you intuitively know
won't work for your ADHD. It can feel defeating for people with
ADHD to hear that something "should" work since it works for the
majority of people. It comes down to whether it works for you. Time
management strategies and scheduling your meals out is essential. Sleep
more. Not only will your body like it, but sleeping will mean that you
are not up late at night eating.
Breakfast really
is the most important meal of the day. Start your day with protein.
Impulse control tips are important. Something simple like putting your
fork down while you are chewing can go a long way. Using small plates so
that you put less food on the plate is also helpful. Those with ADHD
respond well to external cues.
For individuals
with ADHD and bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder, stimulant
medication can be incredibly helpful in managing their eating disorder,
mainly because it is managing the ADHD symptoms that can give rise to
the eating disorder.
Most important,
if you struggle with an eating disorder, know that you are not alone.
This is especially true for males. Contrary to popular belief, eating
disorders affect millions of males as well.
Both eating disorders and ADHD can negatively affect one's
self-esteem. People who have either an eating disorder or ADHD struggle
with feelings of shame, ineffectiveness, and being perceived by others
as being lazy or lacking "willpower." These negative feelings are
exponentially increased when people struggle with both ADHD
and an eating disorder.
Treatment does work and can free people of the painful experience of an
eating disorder. It is important, however, to have the right lens
through which you are seeing the problem and therefore using the most
appropriate interventions.

If you own stock in Android you will be thrilled to know that their share of the market is rising and gaining fast on the RIM Blackberry mobile phone market.
Samsung is still making the most phones of any other business. Because of all the carrier partners it has and its wide choice of mobile phone models, Samsung has 24.5 percent of all the cell phones that were sold in the United States. Those numbers are a gain of .09 in just a few short weeks.
After Samsung, the next in line are LG, Motorola, RIM, and Nokia, with the top five producers all lined up where they were back in August. The most recent count of each one's current sales are for a three month timeframe that ended in November.
The biggest news is that Motorola lost 1.8 percent of the mobile market share, even though it managed to stay in third place. Motorola currently has 17 percent of the mobile phone market.
Software too played a big role in the news. RIM maintains its number one position, but is fast losing ground to Google's Android. In sales in the U.S. during August, RIM held a 37.6 percent market share of smart phone platforms, but has since fallen to 33.5 percent. Google's Android s jumped from 19.6 percent to 26 percent, which doesn't give RIM much breathing room.
iPhone's numbers didn't change very much. It had a small increase in the market share from 24.2 percent to 25 percent, but still dropped to number three since Google did so well. Other companies that saw a fall in sales were Microsoft and Palm.
All of these results emphatically reveal that people are paying more attention to Android based systems, and are not as excited about the iPhones. Plus, they are giving up Blackberry devices in droves.
With 2011 barely getting started, it looks to be an interesting fight to the finish in the mobile phone market.

Is there a rumor you'd like tracked down? Geoff Bruce answers some of the mysteries of life in Brookfield and helps solve everyday problems.
What's next for the
former burger kingdom?
Question: Larry Knetzger in the Town of Brookfield asks: What is happening to the Burger King in the Town of Brookfield? Massive remodeling for a different use now? Rumor is it is going to be a Starbucks.
Response: The rumors are absolutely correct. Town of Brookfield officials confirm that the building that previously housed a Burger King at 17980 W. Bluemound Road is in the process of being remodeled into a Starbucks.
"Starbucks has taken tenancy and they're in the process of remodeling the building that will offer an interior dining space that is slightly larger than Burger King's was," Town of Brookfield Zoning and Planning Administrator Gary Lake said.
Lake noted that the new Starbucks location will also feature outdoor seating in the form of a patio and a drive-thru.
"They're going to be using basically the same system as Burger King (did)," Lake said.
The architect for the remodeling is NORR. NORR officials were unable to be reached for comment, although Lake estimated that the store will likely not be opening before mid-August.
"They've got all their carpentry and framing to do, and insulation. I'd say at least six weeks."

'America's Got Talent' Backstage Report: Why 'Those Funny Little People' Might Go to the Finals
But it's 'Those Funny Little People' that may stand the best chance of advancing to the next round. Why, you ask? The over-sized puppets managed to not only entertain with their homages to 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'It's Raining Men,' but, perhaps more importantly, the group, which was supported by judge Howie Mandel, truly got under the skin of judge Piers Morgan.
And while viewers watch 'AGT' to see the next million-dollar act get discovered they also tune in to watch the bickering between Morgan, Mandel and fellow judge Sharon Osbourne.
AOL TV was on the scene at the show's taping in Hollywood last night and spoke to the judges after the show about the funny big effect that 'Those Funny Little People' have on Morgan.
Cedric the Entertainer Previews New 'It's Worth What?' Game Show on 'The Talk' (VIDEO)
Cedric had with him two items -- a black velvet and white taffeta gown once worn by Princess Diana for a charity event in 1985, and an acoustic guitar signed by Elvis Presley. The hosts were charged with figuring out which item was worth more. Leah Remini was the tie-breaker, and went with the guitar.
The signed guitar was worth $30,000, a lot of money to be sure. But the dress was worth twice as much. Sharon Osbourne, who had voted for the dress, was not happy. Hopefully the contestants on Tuesday's 'Worth What?' premiere will be less contentious.
Piers Morgan Remembers His Rough First Meeting With Sharon Osbourne (VIDEO)
The first meeting was a dinner, and Morgan said Osbourne had had a glass of wine or two, and ended up sneaking up behind him. "It ended up with her coming up behind me," he said, "in front of all these executives from NBC, strangling me, trying to kill me, and screaming, 'You're just a Simon Cowell wannabe.'"
Jackie Evancho Tells Sharon Osboure Some of Her Favorite Things on 'The Talk' (VIDEO)
Evancho has been enjoying a slice of Hollywood life. Her favorite place? "I love being in Malibu," she said. "It's so cool there, and the water is just, it's nice and, and I love the beach. And I found a sand dollar there."
She also got to meet Oprah Winfrey, Mohammed Ali, and President Obama. Evancho sang at the White House and got to meet the Obama girls. "They're really nice," she said. Just your normal kid stuff.
Sharon Osbourne Has a Gross Theory About Lindsay Lohan's Positive Alcohol Test (VIDEO)
Osbourne joked that she thought Lohan's "wee wee" was tainted by a feminine hygiene product. "I don't think she was drinking," said Osbroune. "I think she was cleaning her ... with a feminine wipe. They have alcohol on them."
Around that time, Osbourne said she had someone in her ear telling her "enough about Lindsay Lohan." Which is OK, because her co-hosts needed a minute to catch their breath from laughing.
Sharon Osbourne Wants to Lick Shemar Moore (VIDEO)
That's what made Osbourne swoon. "You need a really good licking," she said. When Moore reminded her she was married, Osbourne said she couldn't help it if Moore made her feel "funny in certain places."
On The Scene: Wild Cards Return to 'America's Got Talent'
Each of the show's three judges were allowed to bring back four acts, which likely meant that at least four routines weren't as likely to get a strike from Piers Morgan, who, let's face it, admits that he's wrong as often as Fonzie does.
"He was buzzing every act that wasn't his," Sharon Osbourne said after taping of Morgan's trigger finger. "That's very disrespectful to the artist. Unless I really think they should be buzzed, I won't do it."
Did Howie Mandel give Harmonica Pierre a strike because he was Morgan's candidate?
"I didn't buzz Pierre," clarifies Mandel, who tapped his 'X' button more to send a message to his fellow judge. (The plan was for Osbourne to hit hers, too.) "That was for Piers -- not Pierre. They took it off. As a joke, I thought Sharon would follow me. Then, she threw me under the bus -- on live TV! I hope it didn't throw Pierre."
On the Scene: 'America's Got Talent' Second Twelve Acts
The strike-happy Morgan got off to an early start rejecting groups when he gave an "X" to Cheer SF, the San Francisco-based cheer leading team. Iron Horse, Strongman, Ronith -- and even a girl in the audience named Lindsay, who sang a Tina Turner song during the commercial break -- also each received an "X" from Piers.
"Piers can suck it!" a friend of Lindsay's said after getting a hold of the warm-up guy's microphone.
"Fair enough," Morgan told TV Squad after taping. "If you dish it out, you've got to take it. That's fine. I like people who come back at me. It's good. It shows strength of character."
(Piers, we'll keeping this in mind when we ask you for a Larry King update, cool?)
As for why all the buzzer action tonight, Morgan says, "I thought it was necessary. A few of the acts looked pretty ridiculous. They were only there because of Howie Mandel. He's the 'Ronith' of judges."

Sharon Osbourne Threatens to Lick Howie Mandel (VIDEO)
Sharon Osbourne revealed on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' that she jokingly threatens to lick fellow 'America's Got Talent' judge Howie Mandel as a form of punishment. Mandel is a notorious germaphobe, and recently replaced David Hasselhoff as a judge on the talent show.
Regis Philbin tries to start trouble by suggesting that Osbourne should lick Mandel's head as a "friendly gesture." But little does Philbin know, Osbourne has already considered using her tongue as a weapon against Mandel. "Howie loves to talk. And when he talks and talks, I say, 'Howie, if you don't stop, I'm going to lick you,'" Osbourne said.

Who Needs Celebs? NBC Bringing Back the Original 'Apprentice'
According to the TheWrap, NBC is bringing back the celeb-free version of 'The Apprentice' for the first time since 2007, with a recession-era twist: "Real people" contestants who've been hit hard by the bad economy will get a chance to reverse their fortunes by wowing boss Donald Trump.
The return of the original premise has been rumored for some time. Trump recently declared himself all for it, telling reporters, "I will be very involved if they bring back regular 'Apprentice,'" he said. "I'd be very involved in the casting again."
The Fall of 'The Apprentice'
While watching the two-hour (read: interminable) debut of 'The Celebrity Apprentice' on Sunday night, I was trying to figure out if Cyndi Lauper is out of this show's league, or vice versa. Maybe I'm thinking about leagues because of all the previews for the new Jay Baruchel movie, but for some reason that's how the question phrased itself in my head. Has Cyndi Lauper really sunk this low?
'The Apprentice' used to be an A-list show when it debuted in 2004. Remember? It was a serious competitive reality show that was nominated for Emmys against shows like 'Survivor' and 'The Amazing Race', and for cinematography -- in other words, the gorgeous New York skyline shots that peppered the episodes. Back then, people watched the show and compared the tasks and the competitors to their own workplace.
Ozzy Osbourne Meets Sharon After a Cocaine Binge (VIDEO)
It's hard to de-code his Ozzy-speech, but near as we can tell, he was supposed to give her an envelope full of money, but bought cocaine with the cash instead. He laughs, George Lopez laughs, the audience laughs ... ha ha, that's so funny.
Lopez and the audience were too polite to say what they really thought, but we'll say it here: "You're such a fool, Ozzy!"
Watch the video after the jump.
'Celebrity Apprentice 2': Who Will Win?
Business mogul Donald Trump will do the firing once again, aided by son Donald Trump Jr., daughter Ivanka Trump and long-time adviser George H. Ross on this third season of 'Celebrity Apprentice.' The teams, incidentally, are divided by sex.
The action starts 9 PM ET Sunday on NBC. Before then, we've studied the field and calibrated who the likely winner will be.
See for yourself after the jump.
Susan Boyle is going to Dancing with the Stars
Luckily for Susan, Sharon Osbourne will not be on the show. Or maybe it's lucky for Sharon because after the horrible things she said about SB, Susan would probably deck her if she had the chance. Last week, while on Sirius radio, Sharon was compelled to share her opinion of Susan's sudden success.

More than fifty attendees piled into the conference room eager to continue working collectively on alleviating poverty as a follow-up to the January The Poverty of Poverty Intervention: Doing More with Less meeting sponsored by the USF Office of Community Engagement and Partnerships.
"It is wonderful to see gathered here so many people who are so passionate about something so depressing," said Dr. Lance Arney, OCEP Associate Director.
Arney announced that the Reporting Back to the Community report released on April 22nd was the direct result of feedback from the community; and he stated that among the strongest recommendations was the need to create action groups. He said that participants reiterated, "Let's actually do something" outside the scope of convened meetings.
The Poverty Action Groups represent an opportunity for faculty and community members to think on a larger scale about the structural inequities leading to widespread poverty experienced in our community. The time has come to consider how we might coalesce around major issues to make changes in legislation and policy.
To that end, Brandon Wagner, Operations and Legislative Affairs Officer for Hillsborough County's Board of County Commissioners and Legislative Programs, presented a legislative toolkit to empower community groups with the ability to get issues related to poverty on the forefront of the legislative agenda.
Wagner informed the audience that this year only 264 bills passed of the 1,816 filed in Tallahassee, representing the lowest pass rate in legislative history.
He said, "You need to get your voice heard." Interestingly, money doesn't always talk, given that Wagner said gaming interests spent 3.4 million dollars to push legislation positively impacting them, and yet this resulted in no legislative successes.
It is also important to keep in mind that the state legislature has a limited volume given that there are only 160 legislators, and the legislative session lasts only 60 da
Wagner stated that in order to be successful, "community members must represent a broad coalition of diverse interests coming together."
He told the audience to avail themselves of his assistance, saying, "I'm not a black coat wearing lobbyist. I receive no campaign contributions. I work for you. My job is to educate you."
"I have to rely upon information, facts, and the 'hometown pull' to get in the room and get an agenda done," he said. "3.4 million will get you in the door every day of the week, but if you are from the home district you will get in first."
He warned, "It's not a fast process. We need time for the crock pot to simmer and come out with something that's edible."
He said that the interests of the 1,000 square miles of Hillsborough County run the spectrum including civil service reform, economic development, gas pumping, consumer protection, and environmental protection.
Interestingly, the Tampa Bay region's largest export by volume is tropical fish and the largest export by weight is dead bodies being shipped out to be buried elsewhere.
He also referred to the diversity of the County Commission, four separate district members and three at-large commissioners representing divergent interests coming together.
He said it is important to assess the Commissioners and determine where to go for support. He continued, "They will open the door; they will listen."
"Nobody wants poverty," he said, "we all get that." But that fact alone doesn't take you far enough. He recommended coming into meetings armed with a "concrete set of solutions."
"If you talk theoretically, they will feel good about it, but they are not going to do anything about it."
On the upside, to help advocates prepare, Florida has the best electronic access to legislative information of any state in the union. Furthermore, the county and city websites are user-friendly.
Wagner reiterated, "You need a defined message of what you want to do, and it needs to be an achievable request."
Another important message was "get a legislator in this room." He continued, "You've got to engage them and make them own this process for the good of the community.
He concluded by stating that he would be available to anyone who wanted assistance in reviewing their legislation before presenting it to legislators.
The group then broke up into action groups, which gave everyone the opportunity to come together around specific issues or concerns. Among the Poverty Action Groups that formed were Childhood Literacy, Transportation, Housing, Program Evaluation and Asset Mapping, Health and Wellness, and the School to Prison Pipeline. Stay tuned for more details on the specific goals and measurable outcomes to come out of each of the Poverty Action Groups.
Should you wish to join a Poverty Action Group, or for more information, please e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Louise Felton Tracy died March 17 in Pleasanton, surrounded by family. She was 86.
Beloved wife and mother, Mrs. Tracy was born in 1923 in Starr, S.C., the daughter of the late Andy and Della Felton. She was raised in Miami, Fla., and used to tell stories of happy childhood days on Miami Beach. During World War II, Mrs. Tracy worked for the American Red Cross as a liaison between servicemen and their families. Throughout her life she volunteered for the Red Cross.
She graduated from University of Miami, with a degree in journalism, reflective of her talent and love of writing.
After moving to California, she married Clif Tracy in 1948, and they had six children. Even as she was raising a family, Mrs. Tracy was a writer, and had some articles published in popular women's magazines.
Mrs. Tracy returned to the workforce in 1968, with the American Red Cross. She also attended Graduate School at Cal State Hayward, earning a master's degree in family counseling. She worked at Cupertino Junior High School as a middle school counselor for the rest of her career. She positively impacted many teenagers' lives.
After retiring, Mrs. Tracy wrote the very successful book, "Grounded For Life -- Stop Blowing Your Fuse and Start Communicating with your Teenager." Still being reprinted by Parenting Press, "Grounded For Life" published in a number of different languages and sold successfully in many countries, including Mexico and Korea.
A cornerstone of Mrs. Tracy was her unshakable faith in God. She chose churches to attend by the way the sermons moved her, not on denomination. She attended Presbyterian, Baptist, Nazarene and Methodist Churches, and was closely affiliated with Unity beliefs.
She will be remembered for her amazing southern hospitality and ability to listen and empathize. She never judged but always loved.
Mrs. Tracy is survived by her son Mike Tracy of Rocklin, Calif.; daughter Della Davis of Capitola, Calif.; daughter Teresa Hansen of Elk Grove, Calif.; daughter Barbara Boyer of Pleasanton; son and daughter-in-law Matt and Maria Tracy of Pleasanton; and daughter and son-in-law Virginia and Mike Vickers of Pleasanton.; her adopted daughter and son-in-law, Diane and Jonathan Ha; and grandchildren Justin, Kristi, Nikki, Erin, Joe, Shannon, Grace, Maiya, Nate, Marisol, Louise, Benjamin, Lily, Christine, and two great grandchildren, Jordin and Cailyn.

When an aging Hollywood action star or sex symbol reemerges after a long hiatus looking younger, with a great body and smoother, firmer facial skin, people now assume they have undergone stem cell therapy.
In my interview with doctors Eric and Anna Yalung of Regenestem Manila, they set me straight. While the actor/actress may have had stem cell therapy, the outward appearance is most likely a combination of Botox, plastic surgery, a strict diet and a personal trainer. So no doctor who only offers you stem cell can promise you outwardly beautifying results.
This is not to say though that there are no beauty benefits from it. For the beauty aspect, they do this for facial skin rejuvenation and hair growth. According to head dermatologist Anna Yalung, they inject the target area and, if necessary, combine it with services available at the clinic for best results and to speed up the process.
Shots are spaced a week to a month apart depending on treatment requirement for three sessions. The follow-up is scheduled the following year.
How is it done? Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a convenient and cell-based treatment. It is a simple procedure involving the extraction of blood, separation of platelets and administering the PRP to the desired area.
|This is done in order to stimulate or promote healing, collagen synthesis for anti-aging, or to deliver proper oxygenation to muscles or tissues. A crucially important function of platelets is the release of various growth factors responsible for almost all repair processes that occur in the body.Dr. Eric Yalung, who has conducted PRP treatments with Dr. Joseph Purita, world-renowned pioneer in stem cell orthopedic surgery, will spearhead PRP therapy for arthritis, sports injuries, anti-aging, hair growth, facial rejuvenation and pain management. Yalung clears that it is not a cure-all. It won't make you thinner or outwardly younger by itself. Its main purpose is improving the quality of one's life and the highest success rates are for those who are suffering from osteoarthritis; degenerative diseases like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's; sports injuries and pain management.
