Single and ready to mingle! Laura Dundovic glams up for the races in a peplum dress as she confirms her relationship status
Laura Dundovic brought the glitz and glamour to Sydney's Royal Randwick Racecourse on Saturday for Autumn Racing.
The Myer ambassador dazzled in a Maticevski monochrome dress and Anne Shoebridge head piece at Derby Day.
The unusual outfit - complete with digital print, peplum, zippers and a split - was a standout amongst her fellow department store models.
Beautiful in black and white: Laura Dundovic was stunning in Maticevski at Sydney's Royal Randwick Racecourse on Saturday
Last month it was reported that the stunner may have sparked up a relationship with ripper personal trainer Christian Miranda.
And while they would make a genetically blessed couple, Laura told MailOnline on Saturday that the personal trainer is certainly not her boyfriend.
'Christian is just a very good friend. We hang out a lot, he's not a boyfriend.'
The pair were spotted on Balmoral Beach in March soaking up some vitamin D.
She split with her footballer boyfriend Tom Burgess in February after five-months together.
Fitness fanatic: The 26-year-old is busy preparing for the Nike She Runs event on May 3
Instead of focusing on her love life, she's training hard for her 10 kilometre Nike She Runs event on May 3.
'I'm looking forward to it - I really love exercising.'
'It's hard for us all to train together but it's for a great cause and we have been doing as much as we can.'
Laura will join Cheyenne Tozzi and Carissa Walford for the high profile night run through Centennial Park in Sydney's east.
Beautiful bunch: Laura was joined by fellow Myer ambassadors Jennifer Hawkins, Kris Smith and Kate Peck at The Championships Derby Day
TV weather girl Magdalena Roze was also spotted in the Myer marquee.
The beautiful blonde revealed to MailOnline that she has finished up at Channel Ten and hinted at career prospects at either the Nine Network or Channel Seve.
'It was the right time to move on didn't feel like I could do what I wanted to do (at Ten).'
She's also recently met her boyfriend, Three Blue Ducks chef Darren Robertson's parents.
She said: 'It's made us think about having kids and how we can work it out...his family are lovely.'

Clarification to rule may favor PatrickAP FILE PHOTO
Driver Danica Patrick high fives fans during driver introductions before the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Darlington Raceway on May 11 in Darlington, S.C.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. The rules surrounding Saturday nights Sprint All-Star Race continue to change, and fans are concerned the latest tweak is meant to benefit Danica Patrick.
Among a handful of changes announced Wednesday was a clarification that the winning driver of the Sprint Fan Vote must only have a car in raceable condition to advance into the All-Star Race. That counters earlier announcements that said the winner of the fan vote must finish on the lead lap of the Sprint Showdown preliminary race.
NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp says the earlier reference to finishing on the lead lap was simply miscommunication on NASCARs part.
But fans pounced on the tweak, believing it was to benefit Patrick, who has struggled on intermediate tracks this year but is currently among the top-five vote getters.
Its unlikely that the change will affect the outcome. The last two years, all but one of the cars running at the conclusion of the Showdown was on the lead lap. And, barring an accident or a mishap, the format of two 20-lap segments means it would be difficult for Patrick to be lapped based on performance.
Patrick, who won the fan vote last year as the most popular driver in the Nationwide Series, is inside the top five headed into Saturday along with Jeff Burton, Bobby Labonte, Martin Truex Jr. and Michael Waltrip. The top two finishers in the Showdown advance into the $1 million main event, as does the winner of the fan vote.
Among other changes announced Wednesday, the qualifying order will be set by random draw because theres no pit crew competition this year to determine the order. Time trials will include a total time for three laps, including a four-tire pit stop.
New is that there will be no pit-road speed, and the pit crew cannot go over the wall until the car has come to a complete stop.
The no speed limit was intriguing to at least one driver.
Wow!! Qual for (at)sprint all star race is going to b exciting!! tweeted Kyle Busch.
NO pit road speed coming in or going out. Not what I had in mind but ok... ?
The format for the All-Star race was previously announced and basically remains the same at four segments of 20 laps, with an optional pit stop between each segment. NASCAR calls for a mandatory four-tire pit stop before the final 10-lap sprint to the finish.
Drivers will enter pit road for the final stop according to their average finish from the first four segments. Thats a change from last year, when drivers entered pit road with the winners of the first four segments at the front of field. The rest of the field entered based on the order of finish from the fourth segment.
But the winning drivers from each segment sandbagged the rest of the segments and drove around at the back of the field. NASCAR is trying to eliminate that this year with the entry to pit road order on the final stop.
Track owner Bruton Smith has also offered a $1 million bonus to any driver who wins all four segments and the race, making it possible for a driver to win a total of $2 million on Saturday night.MORE IN Sports WireNICE, France Iceland pulled off one of the biggest shocks in European Championship history by...

Here at the tail end of 2009, it's safe to say industry and consumers alike are disheartened by the incessant bad-news business headlines of the past year. We're happy to turn our eyes towards the glimmering future of brand revivals and fresh talent on the scene. As new names bust their asses preparing to define an impending era, small celebrations of renewal are surfacing. In this Vogue January editorial, shot by Steven Meisel, Sasha Pivovarova parties hard with some It-boy musicians--like MGMT, The Horrors, Vampire Weekend, and Chester French--in honor of brands with a history and history yet to be made.

GREENSBORO, N.C. --- Z. Mason (Nashville) led a furious comeback effort for the Chattanooga Mocs Sunday afternoon in Greensboro Coliseum. It fell short, however, as Chattanooga dropped a 77-69 decision at UNCG.
Mason tallied a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. He and his squad could not overcome the UNCG-record tying 41-point performance by the Spartans' Trevis Simpson.
UTC trailed by as many as 14 in the second half as two Simpson free throws put UNCG up 48-34 with a little more than 17 minutes to play.
Lance Stokes (Orlando, Fla) capped an 11-2 run with an old-fashion three-point play with 11:28 remaining. Stokes had the final five points in the spurt to cut the lead to five, 50-45. He and his mates held the Spartans to just one field goal for nearly six-and-a-half minutes to close the gap.
Jordan Potts' layup with 7:52 to go made it a 12-point cushion for the Spartans, 60-48. That's when Mason took over. The burly junior scored 13 of the Mocs next 17 points. He scored inside, outside and at the line.
He made it an eight-point game, 63-55, on a three-pointer with 6:30 left. Two free throws on the next possession made it a six-point affair. His driving layup with 2:57 cut it to four, 67-63. Ronrico White (Knoxville, Tenn.) made a steal on the defensive end leading to a Mason jumper dicing the margin to two, 67-65, with 2:14 to play.
That was as close as it would get for the Mocs. Back-to-back possessions with turnovers doomed Chattanooga's comeback chances. Simpson and the Spartans made the plays down the stretch to garner the win.
Simpson was sensational. He hit 14 of 25 shots including seven of 13 from beyond the arc while adding seven rebounds to his 41-point total. Nicholas Paulos came off the bench to chip in 11 points, while David Williams posted seven points, nine rebounds and four steals.
White had 15 points, four rebounds and three steals for the Mocs. Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) added 12 points to go with a career-high six assists. He also had four rebounds and two assists.
Simpson was the story of the game. He scored 27 of his 41 in the first half. He staked the Spartans to a 41-31 halftime advantage.
UTC scored the first seven points of the game as it took five minutes for UNCG to find the bottom of the net. Down 11-4, the Spartans went on a 14-0 run capped by Potts three-ball at 10:51 for the 18-11 lead. That swelled to 13, 32-19, with 5:15 left on one of six Simpson first-half treys.
Chattanooga battled back. Farad Cobb's (West Palm Beach, Fla.) three and two Sam Watson (Knoxville) free throws made it a seven-point game going into the half's final possession. UNCG ran the clock down and Simpson drained a 28-footer with two seconds left to send the Spartans into the break ahead 10.
The Mocs reach the mid-way point in the SoCon schedule next week at Georgia Southern. The squad plays Saturday with a 7:30 p.m., scheduled start. Listen to the play-by-play from "Voice of the Mocs" Jim Reynolds on ESPN 105.1 the Zone in Chattanooga, or world-wide on GoMocs.com. MocsVision has the live audio (free) action online.

Can you Sell Diabetic Test Strips? Diabetes is not to be taken for granted, it has to be given the utmost attention. People with diabetes who are called "diabetics" needs to have kits for blood testing available so that they can determine the level of their blood sugar. Buying or receiving test strips supplies comes with many brands of test strips, some of these strip brands are usually thrown away by most if they have chosen the right brand they want. Having a pile of worthless boxes at home sometimes means that you have lots of test strips that were used, and given that these strips have short life expectancy. It means that you have to throw these boxes of diabetic test strips in the garbage, in which case are still good to use. Most people who buy these kind of things have the knowledge that these diabetic test strips are expensive at most. There are many diabetics who cannot afford these diabetic test strips because most of them are poor, have low incomes and lack insurance, they really need these things but are too broke to even afford them because of their expensive price.
Getting To The Point – Products
Getting To The Point – Products
People can participate and volunteer to help the cause of organizations in distributing and providing diabetics with the supplies they need and that are necessary for them. Extra and unused diabetic test strips can be sold for a few dollars, so that you can help others while earning a bit for yourself, rather than disposing it. Diabetics today usually have enough boxes or supplies of diabetic test strips so that they will not run out of them in the long run, but they soon realize that they have a lot of extra strips that they have not used at all. Having a regular supply of diabetic test strips delivered to you on a regular basis is good, but you will later realize that the extra ones you have are adding up in boxes. This means that they are not testing the strips on themselves as often as they can. Diabetics change diabetic test strip brands all the time, but they still have their old stocks loitering around their home and just stay there. Using these test strips when pregnant can take a while, but when it ends, you will no longer have need for it, so there is a big chance that there are plenty of extra strips left in the supplies you bought. Patients that have died or has been given the opportunity to move to a medical facility, which they have supplies of their own, you are left with the dilemma of dealing with countless supplies of test strip boxes.

Microbes turn electricity directly to methane without hydrogen generation
A tiny microbe can take electricity and directly convert carbon dioxide and water to methane, producing a portable energy source with a potentially neutral carbon footprint, according to a team of Penn State engineers. "We were studying making hydrogen in microbial electrolysis cells and we kept getting all this methane," said Bruce E. Logan, Kappe Professor of Environmental Engineering, Penn State. "We may now understand why."
Methanogenic microorganisms do produce methane in marshes and dumps, but scientists thought that the organisms turned hydrogen or organic materials, such as acetate, into methane. However, the researchers found, while trying to produce hydrogen in microbial electrolysis cells, that their cells produced much more methane than expected.
"All the methane generation going on in nature that we have assumed is going through hydrogen may not be," said Logan. "We actually find very little hydrogen in the gas phase in nature. Perhaps where we assumed hydrogen is being made, it is not."
Microbial electrolysis cells do require an electrical voltage to be added to the voltage that is produced by bacteria using organic materials to produce current that evolves into hydrogen. The researchers found that the Archaea, using about the same electrical input, could use the current to convert carbon dioxide and water to methane without any organic material, bacteria or hydrogen usually found in microbial electrolysis cells. They report their findings in this week's issue of Environmental Science and Technology.
"We have a microbe that is self perpetuating that can accept electrons directly, and use them to create methane," said Logan.
Logan, working with Shaoan Cheng, senior research associate; Defeng Xing, post doctoral researcher, and Douglas F. Call, graduate student, environmental engineering, confirmed that the microscopic organisms produced the methane. The researchers created a two-chambered cell with an anode immersed in water on one side of the chamber and a cathode in water, inorganic nutrients and carbon dioxide on the other side of the chamber. They applied a voltage, but recorded only a minute current. The researchers then coated the cathode with the biofilm of Archaea and not only did current flow in the circuit, but the cell produced methane.
"The only way to get current at the voltage we used was if the microbes were directly accepting electrons," said Logan. He notes that the electrochemical reaction takes place without any precious metal catalysts and at a lower energy level than converting carbon dioxide to methane using conventional, non-biological methods.
The cells are about 80 percent efficient in converting electricity to methane and because they use carbon dioxide as feed stock, would be carbon neutral if the electricity comes from a non-carbon source such as solar or wind power.
"The process does not sequester carbon, but it does turn carbon dioxide into fuel," said Logan. "If the methane is burned and carbon dioxide captured, then the process can be carbon neutral."
Logan suggests the method for off peak capture of renewable energy in a portable fuel. Methane is preferred over hydrogen because a large portion of the U.S. infrastructure is already set up to easily transport and deliver methane.

The Smartest Person in the World Can Still Be a Terrible Investor
Have you ever felt intimidated by the markets? Thought that investing was only for really smart people? Maybe you hear jargon like "beta", "derivatives", or "standard deviation" and it just goes over your head? Contrary to what you may think, you can be the smartest person in the world and still be a terrible investor.
If I told you history's most famous physicist failed miserably at investing would you think differently? Sir Isaac Newton, the man who conceptualized three laws of motion, pioneered calculus, and discovered the color spectrum among other accomplishments, was a terrible investor.
Setting—England, early 1700s. The South Seas Company is formed in anticipation of having a monopoly on trade to the Spanish colonies in South America after the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714). The outcome of the War did not bode favorably for the company. Even though the company had completed no voyages to the new world after 5 years, its leadership turned to advertising false claims of success and wild (but false) tales of the company's adventures.
It was during this time that Sir Isaac Newton invested in the company, watched the stock rise, and sold making a handsome profit. Filled with greed and regret that he gotten out too early as he watched his friends make more money, he jumps back in, this time with an even bigger bet. Shortly after, the bubble bursts and the sell-off begins. Newton loses the majority of his fortune and supposedly forbids anyone to utter the words "South Seas" in his presence ever again.
You might say, that's interesting, but that was also 300 years ago. Things are different today and with the information and technology available to us now, this amusing tale of Sir Isaac Newton is no longer relevant. A lot of things about our world has changed since the days of Newton but human nature has not.
Fast forward to the year 2000. Take the people with IQ's in the top 2% of the population and see how they do at investing. Eleanor Laise did exactly that when she looked at the investment performance of the Mensa Investment Club between 1986 and 2001. She found that Mensa had a 2.5% average annual return. Compare that to the S&P 500 which had a 15.3% return during the same period. Not much has changed after all- smart people can STILL be terrible investors.
We may have put a man on the moon, cured polio, and created the internet in the past 300 years but we are still not immune to being really bad investors. If smart people can fail at investing what does that mean for the average person? It means that you don't have to have a top IQ or have invented the telescope (Newton pretty much did that too). It just means that you 1) need to invest for the long-term and not be swayed by the latest buzz and 2) you need to be disciplined to ride out the inevitable ups and downs of the markets.
Is Relying On Stock Markets For Economic Signals A Mistake?
Wouldn't it be great if investors could navigate the markets like we navigate through traffic- -guided by red, yellow, and green lights? If we had signals that told us with certainty what direction the economy was headed, then we might have an edge in our investment strategy; we would know when it was a good time to invest, when to proceed with caution, or when to put the brakes on.
Unfortunately, the reality is that the market is murky and unpredictable. As the economist Paul Samuelson once put it: "The stock market has called nine of the last five recessions." The market marches to its own drummer, or rather to many drummers, as it processes information from millions of investors about whether they want to buy or sell a stock.
Earlier this year when US Equities were down 10% many thought this was the first sign of impending doom for the economy. Well, we all know what happened. By the end of the quarter, the market had recovered from losses and entered positive territory. Although the economy is not without some areas of concern, it turns out wages are rising, corporate profits continue to be healthy, and inflation remains tame.
But if anything could shed light on the future of the economy, wouldn't the stock market be the most logical place to look? Shouldn't we be able to check a benchmark index like the S&P 500, which has come to define the US stock market, and gain some helpful insights? No, says Julieta Jung , PhD in Economics, who does research to inform policy makers and aid discussion at the Dallas District of the Federal Reserve.
Ms. Jung points out in a recent Economic Letter to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas that Indexes such as the S&P 500 are flawed mirrors of the economy and therefore fail to predict GDP. She notes that half of the components in the S&P 500 are manufacturers but when you look at US GDP, service providers account for more than ¾ of GDP output. Also, the stock market and the economy react very differently to shocks. The market can turn on a dime when unanticipated news or events occur until investors digest what has happened. In contrast, households and businesses adjust to the same news much more slowly.
So what is an investor to do if she is uncertain about the direction of the economy and not sure if it is a good time to invest? First, understand that the stock market is not the economy and there is no reliable signal that can tell you it is a good, bad, or indifferent time to invest. Second, understand that your portfolio needs to be designed to match your tolerance for risk so you can stay invested through the inevitable ups and downs. Third, and most important, do what we constantly tell our clients to do- -focus on things you can control. We can't control what the market will do but we can exert some control over certain things such as costs, taxes, investment discipline, and portfolio allocation. Our advice: Focus on these areas that will have a meaningful impact rather than on trying to decipher market gyrations.
How Many Clients Does Your Advisor Work With?
Last month Barron's published their annual Top 1,200 advisors in the country. This list recognizes the largest "producers" from the large Wall Street firms. Even the terminology at those firms is interesting. Producer implies that you are creating something…in this case it's revenue from selling products and services to your clients. One specific paragraph really resonated with me and reminded me why it was so important to leave that environment.
ON AVERAGE, our Top 1,200 and their teams manage $2.27 billion in client assets. That's down from $2.42 billion for last year's group and is, in part, a testament to how challenging the markets have become. At the same time, the advisors are serving more clients: This year's Top 1,200 serve 521 households on average, compared with 496 for 2015's crop.
521 households! That's the average. Think about that for a moment. How can an advisor effectively serve 521 families? There are approximately 250 business days in a year. If you wanted to meet with each of your clients just once a year, you'd have to have more than 2 meetings a day and not take any vacations. That leaves no time for managing portfolios, doing financial planning, or just time to think strategically on behalf of your clients. The truth is, serving that many clients works with a certain type of model- product sales. It is easy to call 30 clients a day and talk to them about selling or buying a particular investment. Or put them in an advisory account where someone else will manage it on the client's behalf. Or unfortunately, just overall neglect of a client's portfolio. Where it doesn't work is a true comprehensive planning relationship. There is just not enough time in the day to understand and advise on a client's cash flow, insurance coverage, estate plans, retirement objectives, tax projections and investment management needs. We have clients from these firms coming to our firm every month looking for a better solution. At Greenspring, we work in teams of two advisors per client (along with a client service specialist). Currently our average ratio is approximately 50 clients per team. We believe this allows us the time to manage the intricacies that are common to a true planning relationship.
For the client's sake, we hope to see the number of clients per advisor move down over the years. Instead of judging advisors based on how much they produce or manage, it would be a breath of fresh air if these types of awards focused on the impact they are having in their client's lives.

January 19 2000
Two Hindu nationalist groups have resolved to oppose conversions to Christianity in India and say that Pope John Paul II´s call for a "harvest of faith" in Asia is "unfair."
Christian and Islamic mission activities are "more dangerous than terrorism," said H.V. Seshadri, general secretary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS, national volunteer corps) at a Jan. 7-9 RSS meeting in Ahmedabad, commercial capital of the western state of Gujarat.
Criticizing the pope for statements made during his Nov. 5-8 visit to India, the Hindu leader said the pontiff was unfair when he asked for the spread of Christianity in India.
The pope´s call to Christians "to reap a harvest of faith in Asia in the third millenium" was uncalled for, said Praveen Togadia, general secretary of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP, world Hindu council).
Togadia was briefing media about the VHP board of trustees Jan. 7-9 annual national convention in Kanniyakumari town in the southernmost tip of India.
He told media that the VHP passed a resolution calling the pope´s visit to India "an open cultural war against the non-proselytizing civilization of the country." It also resolved to oppose missioners´ attempts to convert, he said.
Seshadri urged 26,000 RSS volunteers, who wear a uniform of khaki shorts and white shirts, to free Hinduism from the "clutches of foreign religions."
"Christianization and Islamization" are "killing the culture," Seshadri said. He urged his people to "put an end to conversions" and reconvert those who have left Hinduism for Christianity.
"No conversion will be allowed and no effort should be spared to bring back to the parent fold all those who have been weaned away," Seshadri expressed the resolve. "Returning home is not conversion," he added.
"Every Indian household is disappointed at his (pope´s) objective," said Seshadri. "Why force someone to become a Christian?" he asked.
During his November 1999 visit to New Delhi, Pope John Paul promulgated "Church in Asia" (Ecclesia in Asia), the final document of the Synod for Asia. It reiterated the Church´s mission of evangelization in the region.
Togadia said the Church is "deliberately destroying" Hindu Scriptures and teachings to undermine the faith of Hindus. Such a move, he claimed, had become "a threat to national security, sovereignty and integrity."
The RSS and its affiliates say that Christian missioners "allure" and "force" tribals and the poor to convert by offering them material benefits.
Hindu leaders maintain that the more than 100 attacks against Christians in the past year, the majority of them in Gujarat, were a "natural reaction" of tribals against missionary activities among them.
Christians blame Hindu groups for engineering assaults which, they say are aimed at ending Christian educational and welfare programs among the poor.
They allege that upper-caste Hindus fear that education would upset the centuries-old caste system, which exploited low castes and confined them to subservient social roles.
Participants in the RSS meeting stressed that they are a social organization for community building and the protection of Hindu culture. Each Gujarat village will have a unit of the organization by 2005, the assembly resolved.
RSS leader Gordhanbhai Zadaphiya told UCA News that the gathering was an annual, "routine exercise."

Matthew 11:28 – "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
It's Monday. It's Monday Night…does that tell you anything about how my last couple days have been? It seems that life moves faster and faster every day and every month! But, I digress..Here are my thoughts for today!
1. Two is better than one! Father's Day was this past weekend and of course we celebrated T, but we also celebrated my dad and my step-dad. That got me thinking…I'm blessed to have two father figures in my life who love me and support me and my family! I thank God daily that he used a bad situation (my parent's divorce) to bless me with an additional father figure in my life. My theory is that we cannot have enough people who love and care about us, so my cup runneth over!
Can you believe it's already been two weeks since you got a tour of my flower gardens?! Where does the time go?? I know mine has been full of baseball games, camping, and trying to get things done here at home! I hope your enjoying summer as much as we are! Now…let's get to the important stuff, let's see how things are growing!!
The Dragon-Leaf Begonias are slowing growing and filling in the boxes! I still think I need to get a few fillers, but haven't found just the right thing yet, so I'll keep waiting!
Well, here we are again! It's Monday again…it seems to happen faster and faster each week, doesn't it?! Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but sometimes I have more to do at home than I can fit in in the weekend!
1. Quiet Weekends are Good – For the past several weekends, we've been busy with family things, camping, baseball games, etc. This past weekend we finally had a quiet weekend at home. The boys were with their mom, so it was just T and I and we actually spent both Friday and Saturday night at home, just relaxing…grilling, watching movies (ok, he watched, I blogged). But, it made me realize that everyone should have quiet weekends at home. Because we both work full-time, we have a tendency to cram everything in on the weekends, but I think that might start changing…less cramming, more relaxing! It helps me refocus and be ready for Monday
2. Friends are the Greatest – A couple weeks ago I messaged Beth Ann of It's Just Life and asked her if she would send us a couple whoopie pies to try, since they can't be purchased here. Some of my friends have the greatest hearts and Beth Ann is one of them! She knows how much our boys love doing taste tests, so not only did she send us a couple…she sent us 12!! And so last week, we had a Wicked Whoopie Pie taste test! We had fun tasting each one and surprisingly, the Raspberry & Cream was the winner! But, more importantly Beth Ann knew us well enough to know how to contribute to our family memories and that means the world to me!!
3. I'm Grateful for Air Conditioning – I don't think this needs much more explanation. The heat of the summer in Iowa is here and I'm grateful for air conditioning, the end.
4. Creating New Recipes is Fun – This past weekend, I created a new recipe! Did you catch it yesterday? If not, you can find it here. I really enjoy experimenting. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't…that's the fun of it all!
5. Life is Good – for all the things I complain about (heat, working, etc) I am blessed by God 100 times over and I continually try to focus on those things in my life! Sometimes when I really think about it, I get a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes because I am so blessed!!
Have a great Monday and week everyone!!
I think it's safe to that summer is officially here in Iowa and this guilt free strawberry freeze is perfect for the warm days! It's been in the steamy 90's the last three days and call me crazy, but I'm already over it! I'm already tired of sweating! I'm already tired of not being able to have the windows open, but it is Iowa, so I'm not sure what I expect anymore! But, I digress…it's summertime and here in our home, we are in full baseball, camping, and summer mode! The boys have work, summer school, weight lifting, baseball, etc.
I'm trying to eat clean throughout all the summer fun/business, I really am! And one thing I've found since eating clean is that my system can't handle high sugar, high fat things any longer. My gut can't seem to process it and I end up feeling awful! However that hasn't stopped me from having cravings. And as it's gotten to be so warm here, I just want ice cream!! I want ice cream, strawberries, and chocolate! Not a bad combo, right?? So, how can I accomplish this without throwing all my clean eating efforts away?? I came up with this treat, Guilt Free Strawberry Freeze!
It's Monday, which means time for another Random Monday Thoughts! We have to actually work five days this week! I don't know about you, but I'm hoping it goes fast! We're super busy this week with games and stuff (prepping for Friday in Franklin County over on Social Impact)! So, what's going through my mind today?
1. Weekends hardly seem long enough – I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my guys…whether it's a weekend full of boys or one that is just T and I…I enjoy spending time with them. It's because I enjoy this so much that the weekends never seem long enough.
Ok, so it's not Monday and it's actually Tuesday, but since yesterday was a holiday it feels like Monday, so it can count, right? I sure hope so, because here are my random thoughts for the week!
1. Our plans don't matter – On Friday God reminded me that it doesn't matter what we have planned for our day or lives, it's his plan that matters. About 10AM on Friday, my cell phone decided to completely stop working…like shut off, never to turn back on…stop working. So, instead of taking off at 1PM to plan and prep for a weekend of camping (without being rushed), I zoomed off to Mason City to get a new phone and ended up still being rushed, but it all got done and was fine. Why God had that plan for me on Friday, I have no idea, but…he taught me patience and to "go with the flow"…once again because I need lots of lessons in this!
2. I like routine – As much as I like time off and vacations, I REALLY like routine. I like always knowing where we each are going to be and for how long, etc. I like a brief break, then I'm all about getting into a routine again, but that could be because I have OCD tendencies!
3. I enjoy doing nothing – the older I get the more I enjoy doing nothing. This past weekend, I really enjoyed doing "nothing" while camping meaning sitting in a chair, just staring off into space, or taking a nap…but doing, nothing!
4. There's nothing like seeing the progress of your gardens – For me, it doesn't matter if we're talking about my flower gardens or our vegetable gardens, I love seeing the process of everything growing and maturing. I spent about an hour yesterday weeding our vegetable garden and I love how that looks after as well! I also enjoyed walking around our property and seeing what was blooming!
5. Their joy is worth my sacrifice – M is sooooo excited for vacation this year! Over this past weekend, I think I heard him say "I'm so excited for Branson" about 3-4 times, which is a lot for him. He's excited for a variety of reasons, but it doesn't matter to me what they are! Seeing him so excited makes it worth T and I working several jobs, working extra jobs, not putting a deck on our home when we want, etc. so we can take them on family vacations and make memories with them!
What are your thoughts on this
Monday Tuesday?! Have a great week and don't miss this last opportunity to "Comment for a Cause: Laura & MS Walk!"
I love my flower gardens. It's taken me several years of being an adult and having my own home, but I really do love them now and I'm so enjoying taking care of them each year and watching them grow and develop! When we moved into our home almost 4 years ago, the yard had been overrun by flower gardens…I mean seriously overrun. There were more flower gardens than yard and due to the owners health they really hadn't been given attention for quite some time. Fast forward four years and we've eliminated a couple of those gardens (probably to the dismay of her family) in exchange for grass for our dog and boys to enjoy. We've attempted to wrangle it down to one "wild" bed (it's going to get tackled in the next year hopefully), two perennial beds, window boxes, and added a couple raised flower beds.
There are still a lot of flowers and I love it even more. This spring I would say I've enjoyed working on and developing my gardens more than ever (Yes, I said "mine" as flowers are not T's thing!! He focuses on the vegetable garden!) So, what did I plant this year?

DMITRY TURSUNOV: Beating Andy Roddick 17-15 in the fifth was my best win, Rod Laver could teach me to win slams and Michael Llodra is crazy
Sportsmail is offering you the chance to win one of five pairs of tickets to the Aegon Championships final. Click HERE to enter.
This week's King of the Court is Dmitry Tursunov, the world No 32 who is competing in the AEGON Championships at Queen's next week.
The 31-year-old Russian has won seven ATP World Tour singles titles and helped Russia win the Davis Cup for the second time in 2006.
What is the best match you have ever played?
A lot of people say that the Davis Cup against Andy Roddick in 2006 was a memorable match and pretty exciting [Tursunov won 17-15 in the fifth set]. Rafael Nadal has one of those every week but I had one in my career so I would have to go with that one.

What is the worst?
A few weeks ago in Portugal I got double bageled for the first time in my life and hopefully the last time [Tursunov lost 6-0, 6-0 to world No 232 Rui Machado in Oeiras]. It was a pretty rough result.
If you could team up in doubles with any player from history, who would it be and why?
There are a lot of famous players that would have been fun to play with. Maybe Rod Laver to get an insight on how to win slams.

Who are your best friends in the locker room and what do you get up to with them as you travel the world?
I have a lot of friends. Michael Llodra is pretty crazy so when he's in the locker room we're always taking it to the edge. Grigor Dimitrov is a pretty fun guy. I like Jarkko Nieminen a lot - I've hung out with him for quite some time.
I'm pretty much OK with most of the players. There's maybe three or four guys who I don't talk that much with but generally I don't have problems with anyone.
What is the strangest or funniest question you have ever been asked in press?
The strangest one was 'what is the strangest question you have ever been asked?' It could also be the funniest as well.
Who is your favourite sports team or athlete and what is your favourite moment watching them?
I love the Canadian curling team. These guys are incredible athletes. Every chance I get to watch them, I am always cheering them on. It would be fun to hang out with them and find out what their daily regiment is.

What is your favourite travel destination away from the tennis tour?
I like home [Moscow] a lot. I like Italy a lot but I haven't really spent a lot of time outside of Rome. I would love to go to Florence and a lot of these cities but I haven't had a chance to do that yet.
What is your favourite song and film of all time?
The song... I really don't know. It's definitely not any of the pop songs nowadays, I'll tell you that much. I like a lot of lounge music but I can't really name a favourite one. All By Myself by Eric Carmen, maybe?
I like a Russian movie which is called The Golden Calf. It would be a tough movie to translate... it is pretty funny.

What would be your last meal on earth?
I like to eat a lot so I really would know. I like crepes or Russian pancakes - they are similar but a little different content. I like sour cherries, I do like strawberries but there is also pizza... I would probably just eat anything. I like sushi a lot so let's go with that.
Which three people would you invite to the meal?
My mum and maybe a couple of guys from the curling team.

Female graduate is first in China to win sex discrimination case after bosses wanted a MAN 'to change the bottle on the water cooler'
- Graduate Cao Ju, 23, was paid £2,985 compensation after winning her case
- She took action after private tutoring firm Juren Academy told her they wanted a man to fill the role of executive assistant
- Bosses said they needed a man to fulfill the 'physical aspects of the role'
A Chinese graduate is believed to be the first woman to win a sex discrimination case in China, it has emerged.
Cao Ju from Beijing has been awarded £2,985, in what is thought to be China's first gender discrimination lawsuit.
The 23-year-old took action after recruiters said they could not hire her because they needed a man for the job.
Success: Cao Ju from Beijing (pictured) has been awarded £2,985, in what is thought to be China's first gender discrimination lawsuit. Recruiters said they they needed a man for the job
She said: 'I really needed a job to pay off my loan. I wanted this job, I was a bit angry… I think as long as the person is capable of doing the work the post requires, gender is irrelevant.'
Beijing-based private tutoring firm, Juren Academy, posted an advert to recruit an executive assistant, The Guardian said.
But when Cao, not her real name, applied she was told they needed a man to take on the role, which would include physical tasks including changing the bottle on a water dispenser.
Cao was initially told there was no sex discrimination case for the firm to answer, because officials had changed the wording of the advert after her complaint.
Her case was settled last month by settlement rather than a court judgement.
The college's CEO told Chinese media the money paid to Cao was a special fund for caring for women's equal employment as opposed to compensation.
He said the firm has never discriminated against women and in fact employs mostly female staff, but urgently needs male members of the staff because physical tasks often requires more than one woman.
Cao said: 'Women need to improve their awareness of their rights and to be more independent.'
A study carried out by the All-China Women's Federation in 2011 revealed more than 90 per cent of female students asked believed they had experienced gender discrimination by employers.
That figure flies in the face of the Communist party's emphasis on gender equality as well as high rates of female employment in China.
In recent years there have been a series of women stepping into high-profile roles.
In 2012 experienced fighter pilot, Liu Yang became China's first female astronaut, completing a 13-day mission to the country's space station.
Discrimination in the workplace is a widespread problem but there have been recent, high-profile, examples of women taking on prominent roles. Liu Yang, right, became the first female astronaut in China in 2012
An expert on gender in China at the Australian National University, Tamara Jacka told newspaper: 'Women are just not getting the better paid jobs, both because they are concentrated in industries that are dominated by women and poorly paid, and also because within individual workplaces they are not being promoted.'
She said in the Mao era, there was a push towards women taking up work that was traditionally done by men.
But it was followed by a 'real backlash' against the idea that women were an equal substitute for their male counterparts.
Cao's lawyer Huang Yizhi said Chinese law does state that women are entitled to equality. But in practice officials in the country have veered away from tackling the issue of discrimination.
The Ministry of Education has defended universities, which require lower examination marks from male than female applicants.
Huang said: 'Although we have a law to ensure women enjoy the same right as men to obtain jobs in reality you can see many companies write 'women not wanted' openly and brazenly in job adverts. It is very strange. No government department supervises it and no government department punishes them.'
Huang is optimistic that Cao's case will inspire other women to stand up for their rights in the future.
Cao said she hopes her case will encourage companies to look at their policies rather than just handle situations like hers more subtly.
