chad's recommendation
For the all public safety and practicality purposes, there is absolutely no reason that someone like me should ever own and axe. However, this leaves me disregarding the fact and desperately wanting such a "tool."

The Hollywood prototype of Silverscreen Superteachers presents a mythology that the best teachers are those who go into rough areas, make a huge difference and tell their stories in the process. The goal is to make a difference and change the world. After awhile, it becomes a mask that teachers wear - a mask of professionalism, of authority, of knowledge and expertise. Unfortunately, masked crusaders are not what children need. They need alter-egos more than superheros - regular people doing great things when they stop trying so hard to do bigger things. What if more is not better? What if changing the world is not a better goal? What if the best way to teach content is by teaching less? What if the best way to lead a classroom is by serving it? What if the solution missing in most of educational reform is not "more" but "less?" This is the main premise of a paradox of humility. It is the notion that learning increases when teaching decreases. It is the idea that teachers who quit trying to change lives are those who end up changing lives. It is the belief that the best way to achieve is by de-emphasizing achievement.

'Something needs to be done'Published 11:48am Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Dear Editor,
The media tells it all – the shootings in Newtown, Conn., are devastating to so many people.
My wife and I are hunters, and we have guns and shoot them well.
Twenty children died today for no reason. This is not acceptable. Shopping centers, movie theatres, schools, malls, trains, colleges, public areas – we do not need weapons that shoot 20–30 or more bullets.
We are not supposed to be at war with our own people. I know these people have mental problems – we don't know the answers – but some new answers need to be found so people will stop dying.
We are Second Amendmaent believers, but something needs to be done.
Charles and Cindy Gillenwaters

Nuestra Señora De Guadalupe Group
Edith started her business 7 years ago. She never thought about becoming a saleswoman since her husband was a policeman and they managed with just his wage. However, Edith started her business because her daughters were beginning their secondary education and she needed to extend and continue building their home since they lived in a rented house.
It was difficult for Edith to start out as a saleswoman since she had never worked before. First she started selling clothes and cosmetics in her home but every holiday season she decided to change her business direction according to the season. During the back-to-school season she sells school materials itinerantly and during the Christmas period she sells panettones, champagne and canned foods. However, she still works in her clothes sales business since it provides a weekly income.
Edith currently needs to work more since her husband is off work sick for 6 months as he fractured his knee. Owing to the accident, he is no longer bringing in as much money as he used to. Now Edith's strength to keep going comes from the need to continue educating her daughters so that they become professionals and the need to be able to offer them a better home, acquiring more things they need. Her husband is currently helping her to look after their daughters and she can now go out to work while he gets better.
Edith's loan will be used to extend her sales line this Christmas, adding to her sales of panettones by buying champagne and canned food.
Edith se inició en el negocio hace 07 años, ella nunca pensó llegar a ser negociante ya que su esposo trabaja como policia y dependían D. un sueldo. Ella empezò este negocio ya que sus hijas estaban ingresando a estudios secundarios y a la vez necesitaban ampliar y seguir construyendo su casa, ya que vivian en una casa alquilada.
Fue duro iniciar a ser negociante ya que ella nunca había trabajado, primero fue con la venta D. ropa y cosméticos a domicilio; pero en cada època D. fiestas optó por cambiar D. giro D. negocio D. acuerdo a la estación; en campaña escolar venD. ambulatoriamente útiles escolares, en fiestas naviD.ñas venD. panetones, champagne y conservas, pero tambien mantiene su rubro D. venta D. ropa ya que esas cobranzas las hace semanalmente, ella actualmente necesita trabajar mas, ya que su esposo se encuentra con descanso médico por una temporada D. 6 meses, debido a una fractura en la rodilla, y debido a este accidente, ya no percibe los ingresos D. su sueldo como antes. Ahora su fortaleza para seguir adelante es poder seguir educando a sus hijas para que ellas sean profesionales y la vez les pueda ofrecer un mejor hogar adquiriendo mas cosas para sus necesidades. Su esposo actualmente le está ayudando con el cuidado D. sus hijas y ella pueD. salir a trabajar mientras él se recupera.
El prèstamo adquirido es para ampliar su linea D. venta en esta navidad, adicionando a la venta D. panetones, comprar chapagne y conservas.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is very thick, 4 to 5 minutes. (It may take up to 10 minutes to get a thick result if you start with frozen fruit.) Stir in the remaining 2 cups fruit and vanilla.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and press firmly into the bottom to form a crust. Spread the fruit filling over the crust. Sprinkle the reserved topping over the filling.
- Bake the bars for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° and bake until the crust and topping are lightly brown, 25 to 30 minutes more. Let cool completely before cutting into bars, at least 1 1/2 hours.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the crust and topping (Steps 1-2) for up to 1 day. Cover or individually wrap and refrigerate the cooled bars for up to 5 days.
- Note: Whole-wheat pastry flour is milled from soft wheat. It contains less gluten than regular whole-wheat flour and helps ensure a tender result in delicate baked goods while providing the nutritional benefits of whole grains. Find it at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
- Easy cleanup: Dessert pans can be a headache to clean. Skip the soaking and scrubbing by lining your pan with parchment paper before you bake.

The European Parliament is due to vote on October 23 on a new accord which seeks to remove trade barriers between Israel and European Union (EU) member states for industrial products, starting with pharmaceuticals.
Supporters of the deal - the Protocol on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products (ACAA) - say it will provide patients in the EU with access to innovative, life-saving drugs at lower cost and boost EU drugmakers' exports to Israel.
Israel, despite its small size, is "at the forefront of major medical innovations," says Marina Yannakoudakis, Conservative Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for London and her party's spokesman on health in the European Parliament. For example, by using Teva's generic version of Pfizer's Lipitor (atorvastatin), the world's best-selling drug, the costs to healthcare systems for blood pressure medication would be reduced by 92%, she says, writing recently in The Jewish Chronicle.
A vote in favour of the ACAA would also mean that European drugmakers would be able to purchase active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from Israeli companies with no need for additional testing in Europe. "This will both reduce the costs of importing medicines as well as lowering manufacturing costs for European drugs companies," Ms Yannakoudakis writes.
However, the European Coordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine (ECCP) is urging MEPs to vote against the deal at their plenary session in Strasbourg because, it says, it "would reward Israel for its continued violations of international law."
The EU and its member states would also be contravening their international obligations if they were to expand the scope and implementation of the EU-Israel agreements to illegal settlements, the group adds, noting that the debate surrounding the ACAA "illustrates this problem."
However, the bid to block the deal failed, on a narrow vote, and the ECCP says it expects that October 23's vote by the full Parliament will also be close.

Properly Licensed Software Contributes Three Times More To National Economies Than Pirated Software, New BSA Study Finds
WASHINGTON, May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new study from BSA | The Software Alliance and INSEAD, one of the world's leading business schools, finds that increasing the amount of properly licensed software in use globally by 1 percent would add an estimated $73 billion to the world economy, compared to $20 billion from pirated software — meaning there is a $53 billion advantage associated with using licensed software. The study also finds the greatest potential for economic gains are in emerging markets where piracy is most common today. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130521/DC17615-INFO)Competitive Advantage: The Economic Impact of Properly Licensed Software is a groundbreaking analysis that draws on data from 95 countries to demonstrate the benefits to national economies of using fully licensed software. The study confirms that increasing use of licensed software corresponds to substantial positive gains in gross domestic product (GDP), and that the economic stimulus effect of properly licensed software is significantly greater than that of pirated software. "Properly licensed software comes with value-added services that improve operational efficiency for businesses and boost output for entire economies," said Jodie Kelley, General Counsel and Senior Vice President, Anti-Piracy for BSA. "For governments looking at ways to stimulate growth, this analysis shows that properly licensed software offers a huge return on investment." The study finds that every country around the world can derive greater economic value from properly licensed software than from pirated software. The gains from a 1 percent increase in licensed software use exceed the impact of a similar increase in pirated software use by a wide margin — ranging from $15.1 billion in additional economic value in the US to $5.9 billion in Japan to $739 million in India. On a dollar-for-dollar basis, the return on investment (ROI) for national economies from properly licensed software is greatest in developing countries — $437 in extra GDP, on average, compared to $35 for every dollar's worth of pirated software put into the market. But countries across all income levels benefit: each additional dollar invested in licensed software has an average ROI of $117 in high-income countries compared to $42 from pirated software, and $140 in middle-income countries compared to $28 from pirated software. "Previous studies have shown that value-added services delivered with properly licensed software help firms to reduce costs and increase investment. This report goes one step further to ascertain the impact of software use on national production," said Eduardo Rodriguez-Montemayor, senior research fellow at INSEAD eLab. "The results make it clear that licensed software is beneficial for business and national economies — and that licensed software has a greater economic impact than pirated software across all countries included in the study." Governments and enterprises wanting to embrace the economic opportunity presented by licensed software use should take action in the following areas:

Charles Barkley's favorite NFL player? Dez Bryant
by Brandon Chatmon
Follow me on Twitter @BChatmon
Looks like Charles Barkley has a new favorite NFL player:
Former Oklahoma State receiver and current Dallas Cowboy Dez Bryant. Here's why:
Barkley isn't the only fan of the former OSU All-American. Dallas tight end Jason Witten had high praise for Bryant.
"He can really change the game," Witten said after the first day of Cowboys' OTA. "More than any of the other stuff, he wants to be good, he wants to play, and that's what you want to see; not all the other crap that you hear about – 'does he want to play, does he want to get better?', and he showed that today, I thought."
And Pro Bowl cornerback Mike Jenkins, who went-one-on-one with Bryant, came away impressed by the rookie.
"He's going to be great, man," he said. "I've never seen a young guy come in the first day (like that). Usually guys need a day to get into it. I wanted to get a feel for him today. I kind of lined up in his face like I was going to press. He seems like one of those guys who likes to be pressed, likes to be physical."
Sounds like Barkley is soon to be joined by many others, especially in Dallas, Texas.

CONGRESS IS CALLING D.C. MAYOR VINCENT C. GRAY to testify about his budget proposal, an unusual move that has angered some D.C. leaders who say the city should be allowed to make its own spending decisions. Mr. Gray and D.C. Council Chairman Kwame R. Brown will appear Thursday morning before a subcommittee of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Rep. Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, who is subcommittee chairman, called the hearing to examine the long-term sustainability of D.C.'s finances, according to the Associated Press.
D.C. MAYOR VINCENT C. GRAY is scheduled to discuss a "truancy project" at his weekly press conference this morning. The D.C. Council recently has taken a renewed interest in the issue, forming a special committee that recently found 13 percent of D.C. higher schoolers are chronically truant. The committee found that bullying and not having Metro fare are two of the major reasons for the truancy. The press conference was postponed from Tuesday reportedly to accommodate the arrival of poet Maya Angelou, who is scheduled to be honored.
A NORTH CAROLINA SEVENTH-GRADER tried to use a gun to hijack a school bus Monday afternoon to come to Washington to allegedly shoot government officials, police told WBTV.com. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said the unidentified student approached the bus driver at the student's bus stop, displayed a handgun and demanded the driver to drive him to another destination. Witnesses told police the boy said he wanted to go to Washington to shoot government officials. Police have not released the motive. The boy handed over the gun to the bus driver.
MARYLAND DELEGATE CAROLYN J.B. HOWARD says legislators might have to raise the state sales tax instead of going ahead with an unpopular proposal to increase the tax on gasoline. Ms. Howard, a Prince George's Democrat, says she and other legislators have received backlash over a proposal to increase the state's 23.5-cents-a-gallon gas tax. The proposal is one of many being considered to help generate $800 million in new revenue for transportation projects, according to The Washington Times.
A FEDERAL APPEALS PANEL of three Democrat-appointed federal judges heard arguments Tuesday in two cases attempting to overturn President Obama's health care overhaul. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges drilled lawyers for both sides but seemed skeptical during the two-hour hearing of arguments by Liberty University and the commonwealth for invalidating the law, The Washington Times reports.
THE NEW MONTGOMERY COUNTY SCHOOLS CHIEF, Joshua P. Starr, will be paid an annual base salary of $250,000, according to a contract unanimously approved Tuesday morning by the county's Board of Education. Mr. Starr's base pay is higher than that of Superintendent Jerry D. Weast, who has led the 144,000-student system since 1999 and is retiring. Mr. Weast's starting salary was about $237,800; his annual pay — tied to the state of the economy — had decreased since the economic downturn, according to The Washington Post.
VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAL KENNETH T. CUCCINELLI II has officially sent Virginia's legislative maps, passed by the General Assembly last month, to the U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for review. Virginia is one of 16 states required to submit its plan for review to ensure that district boundaries do not dilute the power of black voters and violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act, The Washington Post reports. Mr. Cuccinelli chose not just to submit the maps to the Justice Department, but also to the federal court. He told reporters Tuesday that he had filed with the court to ensure the best opportunities for quick review.

|Eligibility/How to Enter:
|Students who participated in the Adobe Youth Voices program and are in their final year of high school, upper secondary school, or first year of post-secondary education (or international equivalents) are eligible to apply for the scholarship. Applicants must be accepted into or continuing in an accredited post-secondary degree or certificate program in a creative field – or in a field through which they will apply creative skills to advance global citizenship and social justice issues. Students must also be in good academic standing with a minimum U.S. GPA equivalent of 3.5.
|Selection of Scholarship Recipients:
|To apply, submit your application to www.adobescholarship.com by March 31, 2013.
|Scholarship applicants will be evaluated based on demonstration of: achievement and potential in creative fields; leadership potential and ability; personal character; commitment and potential to advance global citizenship and social justice issues; demonstrated financial need to support educational goals; academic achievement; career and academic goals in line with the Creativity Scholarship objectives; compelling Adobe Youth Voices references, and their portfolio of media projects.
Applications Now Open For Adobe Foundation Creativity Scholarships
2013 Adobe Foundation Creativity Scholarships are now open. Adobe announced its million dollar Creativity Scholarships fund in April 2012 in conjunction with the launch of the Adobe Creative Cloud and the company's global study revealing a global creativity gap. According to the research, nearly two-thirds of respondents feel creativity is valuable to society, yet a striking minority – only 1 in 4 people – believe they are living up to their own creative potential. Offered to high school seniors (or international equivalents) who have participated in the Adobe Youth Voices (AYV) program, the scholarship is designed to support the next generation of creative thinkers and propel their careers by providing financial support to students for continuing their education, pursuing creative careers and finding innovative ways to improve their communities."The power of creativity is real, and unlocking the creative potential in students can lead to real change in communities around the world," said Michelle Yates, director of corporate social responsibility, Adobe and executive director of the Adobe Foundation. "At Adobe, we believe everyone is born with the innate ability to be creative and the Creativity Scholarships are designed to support this belief."
Winners will be notified in June 2013. The amount of scholarship awarded per recipient will be determined based on demonstrated financial need to meet educational expenses. Scholarships can be renewed for up to four years, pending academic progress and proof of continued enrollment in a creative field.

Who's got the funk? Well, this month's answer to that age-old question is Blue Note. Not jazz-funk, mind you, or any new-fangled variant, but proper old-school funk with a few jazz licks thrown in. This disc could have been cut 30 years ago. As the contributors include Dr. Lonnie Smith, Maceo Parker, Arthur Blythe and Idris Muhammad, the actual band could have probably made this record back then. Choice of material such as "Soul Makossa" and "Ain't No Sunshine" only adds to the time-warp effect. It is very strange. Don't get me wrong, Soul Manifesto is a solid and pleasurable set but it is hardly the most forward-looking release of the year.
If such resolute back-turning on the contemporary doesn't bother you and if the JBs meet Jimmy McGriff or Grant Green sounds like fun then Rodney Jones and friends will have you happily toe-tapping for hours. It must initially be admitted that Jones, though a supreme rhythm-maker, is a fairly characterless soloist. No real worries, as the above mentioned stalwarts more than compensate in the solo stakes. Furthermore, as with all the best funk outfits, the groove is the thing, not any individual flashiness. And groove there is—by the bucketload. This is a no-frills operation—tightly organised, rock-steady and built to last.
Rodney Jones
Soul Manifesto
(Blue Note)
US: 27 Aug 2001
Just a glimpse at the song titles tells you what to expect. The album opens and closes with the horn led "Groove Bone"—a more relaxed JBs-early Kool and the Gang, riff-led excursion. "Soul Manifesto", "One Turnip Green" and "Soup Bone" are titles that could be found on any number of late-'60s, long-deleted albums. File under Rare Groove (Revisited). Like those forebears, Manifesto could have been a bit wearing in one take and there is reason to be thankful for the downtempo numbers, which save the listener from too one-dimensional an experience.
As it is, there is just enough going on to keep matters fresh. The standard of playing helps, of course. Jones has gathered together some of the best and they are all in good form, to the point where he is, if anything, overshadowed by his fellow funksters. Pride of place, for me, goes to the good Dr. Smith—who is cropping up all over the place just lately. His left-of-centre Hammond style is just what this project needed and on the, otherwise pointless, cover of Manu Dibango's Afro-Funk, Loft anthem, "Soul Makossa" he outdoes himself. Little flicks and melodic stabs are his specialty and he has saved some of his juiciest for this session. His solo on "Mobius 3" is just about B-3 heaven.
What can be said of Maceo? He is surely the king of this genre. He does nothing new here but neither does he do anything wrong. Never the sort of player that you particularly remember for this or that solo, he simply and effortlessly delivers a sound you know so well and love like an old friend. He has worked with Jones before (and vice-versa). They seem to have formed a close musical bond—and it shows in the seamlessness of their exchanges. Arthur Blythe comes from a different soul background (more Philly) and is also closer to the mainstream jazz tradition. Though never in trouble, he is at his most entertaining when he can fly the coop a little, as he does on the old Coltrane ballad "Soul Eyes". Blythe has been out of the spotlight in recent years. It hasn't hurt his tone—which still has that sweet, swaying quality which made him so popular back in the '80s.
Drummer Muhammad and bassist Lonnie Plaxico do what is required and do it well. Often Muhammad adopts an almost Memphis, fatback style that really works and Plaxico, too, keeps it very rhythm and bluesy, to considerable effect. "Soup Bone"—which has a Booker T ring about the very title—harks back to the days of Sonny Thompson or Maxwell Davies. It conjures up a world of small clubs on the black touring circuit with the band warming the crowd up for the big singing star. Similarly, on the long, outro version of "Groove Bone" the James Brown band of Famous Flames vintage is evoked rather than the post-Bootsy era. There are some deep roots behind each and every song.
Jones himself presides over and adds to this rich mixture. If he does not quite have Smith's individuality or Parker's authority, he nonetheless knows how to work a riff for all it is worth. I think he is essentially a sideman but his own compositions stand up well to the covers, so he is no slouch in that area. I prefer him chording to using single string runs, although occasionally he does surprise and get fast and fluid ("Groove Bone" again for the best example).
A quick word about "Ain't No Sunshine". Now, the last thing the world needs is yet another version of this chestnut. In fact, the reading of it here is delightful and gives Maceo a chance to show that he can be as sensitive and full of feeling as the next man. Slipped in between the more driving numbers, it comes across far less creakily than it has any right to. Which, indeed, is a case for the album as a whole. It should have been a stale exercise, a mere re-hashing of former glories—but it isn't. At times it does drift towards the mundane. Mostly (with particular reference to the organ) it is crisply played and very alive.
Safe and certainly not innovative, Soul Manifesto is still worth catching up with. Its very lack of pretension is surely part of its charm. Like all the funkiest albums, from the flares and Afro, brass led affairs to the Hammond groups of the sixties, it never tries to over-complicate or do anything that gets in the way of the groove. When Blue Note updates its excellent Blue Funk series in a few years time, tracks from this album will find a ready home.

(By Balaseshan) Waters Corp. (NYSE: WAT), an analytical instrument manufacturer, reported a 28.3% jump in quarterly earnings on a tax benefit despite a marginal increase in revenue. Despite revenue missing consensus, adjusted earnings exceeded Street's expectations.
Earnings for the fourth quarter were $175.94 million or $2.00 per share, higher than last year's $137.15 million or $1.51 per share. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose to $1.59 from $1.56.
Net sales marginally increased 0.1% to $521.77 million. In the quarter, constant currency sales growth was approximately 1.5%.
Analysts, on average, polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a profit of $1.58 per share on revenue of $522.23 million for the fourth quarter.

"Demand trends in the fourth quarter were generally consistent with those observed throughout 2012. Our recurring revenues and business in Asia contributed to overall constant currency growth during a challenging period for the company," said Douglas Berthiaume, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
For the full year 2012, the company posted net income of $461.44 million or $5.19 per share, up from $432.97 million or $4.69 per share last year. Adjusted EPS rose 2% to $4.93, in line with consensus.
Sales for the year decreased 0.4% to $1.84 billion, in line with Street's expectations. Foreign currency translation reduced sales growth by about 2%.
"For the full year, the combination of a stable pricing environment and prudent cost control allowed us to maintain our operating income level and grow our EPS principally by reducing our share count through share repurchases," said Berthiaume.

Hi all! ĀJust thought I would give a quick intro. ĀI have a 15 month old April '10 ODD and now a 4 week old July '11 YDD. ĀBoth via c-section. ĀSo far everything has been as I expected...except I didn't expect to be THIS tired. ĀI am sooooo exhausted. ĀBy 7pm I can bearly keep my eyes open. ĀDH works 12 hour shifts and get's home at 7:30pm and I have had help, but I am still soooo worn out. Ā
Just a little about me. ĀI love being a mom, love to read, love movies. ĀRight now I am on maternity leave but at the end of August I will be back to work. ĀI work from home a ton which should make life even more interesting. ĀI plan on getting the bulk of my work done during the days DH has off. ĀBut if I need to my dad is retired so I can call on him if work is overwhelming. ĀI live in the Philly area. ĀGuess that's it. ĀI should probably go do dishes and try to eat something since both kiddos are asleep...but maybe I should try to sleep instead of eating!!

The Triple Door got a whole lot cuter last night when Denmark's Tina Dico took the stage. She, along with band mates Helgi Jónsson and Dennis Ahlgren, played to an enthusiastic crowd at the intimate downtown venue, and it became quickly apparent that Seattle really, really likes her. And so do I.
What is it about Scandinavian people that is so damn attractive? Jónsson opened the show with a short set and some of his own singer-songwriter pop. He's a skinny, unassuming, reticent little guy with mussed hair, but he has a voice like Thom Yorke that demands attention. He seemed shy, but continually had the audience rolling with laughter at awkward observations and the occasional malapropism. "English," he said. "It's a hard language. We had it in school."Then, Dico came out. I first saw her fronting England's trip-hop group Zero 7 during its 2004 tour and was instantly taken. She's a tiny, blond siren with big eyes and pale skin. Her skin is so pale, in fact, that the pictures I took from my seat were all completely useless. You could say I'm crushing a little. Okay, I totally dig her. But it's not a creepy kind of infatuation (though "infatuation" is subjective). What Dico possesses is the ability to grab you with her charm and non-threatening good looks, and hold you there with her powerful voice, a sound you almost don't believe can come from such a person.
Dico sings a lot about love lost, love unrequited, feelings of fear and hope. She prefaced most of her songs last night with a short story about who or what each was about. And I can't speak for the rest of the crowd, but when Dico was singing about something, her energy put me in that song. When she sang about a dude, I felt like the dude. I wanted to walk on stage and say, "Hey, I'm really sorry I couldn't be what you wanted me to be. Can you ever forgive me?"
Supported all evening by Jónsson and her long-time collaborator Dennis Ahlgren, the three gave Dico's music a rich sound; it's no wonder Zero 7 scooped her up. Everyone bounced around to various on-stage instruments, including a synthesizer and a trombone.
Dico just released her newest LP here in the States, and judging by what I heard last night, it's full of beautiful gems. Dico says she wrote the album after she reached a point in her life when she thought everything would be wrapped up, and she could relax, but "it wasn't that way and probably never would be." That's sentiment anyone can relate to.

I have a condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I wish there was more information about it that could be helpful. My Dr. said "I don't know how to help you lose weight....good luck!" I've had suggestions from diet pills to gastric bypass to the Dukan Diet. I've tried so many things throughout my life and I'm sick of it.
Women with PCOS are something like 40% more likely to have a heart condition then normal people. They're also prone to endometrial cancer and Metabolic Syndrome. With all of these "threats" and things in my future, you'd think it'd be easier to stay on track! Not so much....
PCOS also causes infertility, depression/anxiety, weight gain, etc. It's very stressful and can make life very difficult. Some of us eat a lot to make up for that stress and others of us "Can eat a carrot and gain a pound" (my Dr. said that too).
It's hard. It's frustrating. But it's real. I know I have it, I need to stop denying it. But I also don't need it to be a crutch and I need to fight this thing to the end!!!

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this but it sounds like you are on the right track. I think a positive attitude helps! Good luck!

I have PCOS too, I found out when I was 15 and my doctor told me, 'good luck with your weight, oh and also I don't know if you'll ever have kids but we'll worry about that when you decide you want them' It's sucky and there seems to not be a lot of help out there! I have been able to lose 45lbs but keeping it off is a daily struggle. I also try and tell myself that it may be harder but I'll be all the more stronger for it. I will have to work harder but that means I will realllllyyyyy have earned it and I can therefore feel that much more proud! The one thing my doctor did do was put me on BC and that really helped to level everything out! Feel free to stop by my page or send me a message if you want :)

I have PCOS too and it does make it hard to lose weight. I did lose 55lbs from 2011-2012 but an injury took me out of the game for a couple of month's and that was my total undoing. I gave into eating more than I had and I gave up on exercising like I had been. It is totally do able like everything else but once you give in I feel that with the PCOS it just made it all to easy for the pounds to bounce back on. That would be the only thing I would suggest is that if you do lose remember that it's going to take your daily effort to keep it up and maintain. Losing the weight did help with some of the side effects of PCOS. I feel like it really helped stablize my hormones, got my cycle going in the right direction, made my skin look and feel better and helped with the mood swings. Best of luck to you and if you ever need to talk please feel free to stop by my page :)
