Get Angry Granny you A-Holes
Do you Think You Can Handle Angry Granny?
My son and I wrote this story based on bed time stories we use to make up together. Together, we have brought Angry Granny to life and want to share her with the world.
Hilarious adventures abound as Granny comes to live with her grandson and his parents. It is rarely an easy transition when aging parents and grandparents find they need to live with their children, and Angry Granny is no exception. But, on top of Granny's declining memory, she has lost her filter. So, be prepared because even though her grandson isn't used to hearing curse words Angry Granny is about to change that as she regularly let's the a-word fly. It's cute. It's funny. And, it's touching as the experience of having Angry Granny in the house will take you from laughing to saying "oh my" and right back to giggling again.
Rob Alex and Boegley Alex co-wrote Angry Granny, but it all started when Daddy (Rob) started telling Angry Granny bedtime stories to Boegley. The laughter and giggles that poured forth from the bedroom could be heard all the way downstairs. After a few weeks and a long list of Angry Granny adventures, this father-son duo decided to share their knee slapping and sometimes shocking stories with the world. Get ready because these two will take you on quite a journey alongside Angry Granny, and they just may share more of Granny's adventures as time goes by.

Continuing my efforts to eliminate the "All your advice only applies to people who went to Harvard and have 4.0 GPAs!" comments, today I've created a case study of one reader – and previous resume customer – who got into investment banking despite coming from an unknown school with a minimal finance background.
I can't give names of schools, banks, or people – but everything you're about to read is both true and immediately actionable.
Q: Ok, so how did you get into this industry in the first place? I mean, people from Ivy League schools with top grades are struggling to get into banking in this environment, and bulge bracket analysts are struggling to get PE opportunities. What's your magic bullet?
A: I got interested my freshman year, but I had no finance background and I was at an unknown state school where hardly anyone went into the industry. We had no on-campus recruiting.
My first step was getting an accounting internship following my freshman year – but I told the MDs there that I was actually interested in investment banking, and they got me referrals to local boutiques and merchant banks in the area.
I saw a few ads for merchant banks on my school's website, but rather than applying online, I decided to call them directly and tell them I was interested. After I spoke with someone live, I submitted my resume and then called the next day to follow-up and make sure they had received it.
Then I got into a pattern where I would spend most of Saturday researching boutiques and local firms online, look at transactions they had done, and then cold-call them on Monday and Tuesday of each week. I'd try to email at least 5 banks per day.
I just kept calling until I got a response – sometimes it took many, many tries to get through.
I eventually landed an offer at a local bank from my sophomore to junior year – then I went through recruiting this past fall, got an offer at a well-known boutique, had it rescinded due to the economy, and then finally got another full-time offer recently.
Comments: Notice how he started calling banks rather than just applying online – remember, no one reads applications submitted online. Also pay attention to how he got into a regular schedule for his networking efforts, and how he kept at it every day until he got responses. Too many people either wait until the last minute, or don't try at all to begin with.
Q: Wow, sounds like quite the journey. Coming from that kind of background, you must have faced a lot of "objections" in your recruiting efforts. What were the top reasons bankers said "no" to you and how did you overcome them?
A: They had a lot of concerns, but I'd say there were 3 main "objections":
- "You're from a no-name school – why should I hire you over the guy from Princeton or Wharton?"
- "You have a pretty good (3.8) GPA – but what does that mean coming from your school? That's equivalent to a 2.0 at an Ivy League school, right?"
- "Why didn't you go to a better school? You seem like a smart guy, I'm sure you could have at least gotten into a better-known state school."
To overcome objection #1, I pointed out that it's the person who does the work – not the school. There are plenty of people from top schools who are privileged and unmotivated, but they knew I was hungry and eager to get in.
To answer questions about my GPA, I pointed out that I was also working 30 hours per week and paying for rent and my tuition – so I was actually working way harder than many other students and still getting good grades.
For objection #3, I said that I couldn't afford a "good" school – I didn't come from a privileged background and I had to finance my education by myself, so I just went to the best place I could given my budget constraints.
Comments: These are great ways to overcome the resistance he faced. Whenever you get questioned about your credentials, you should always point to what you've accomplished rather than the prestige (or lack thereof) of the names on your resume.
Q: Ok, but how well did that story resonate with everyone? Some people in finance are not so receptive if you don't come from the "standard" background.
A: Most people accepted the story. I did run into a few people with Ivy League undergrad / MBA backgrounds who couldn't understand the concept of coming from a family that couldn't afford $50,000/year tuition, but most people "got it."
Comments: Sometimes you'll run into people who just say "no" no matter what you do – if that happens, you need to move on and not try to win them over, because your time is better spent elsewhere. There are lots of people who are willing to listen to your story.
Q: You must have found a high percentage of "nice" bankers, that's pretty amazing.
How did you actually approach firms differently from how someone at a top school would?
A: I was a lot more persistent, for one. I never stopped at just speaking to HR or to an administrative person – I'd always try to speak with at least an Associate or VP, and if they didn't call me back, I would call back 2 days later to get someone else on the phone.
I made sure every phone call resulted in either speaking with someone real, or getting a real banker's name and email address.
Comments: This is a great point – if you're not collecting names, email addresses, and phone numbers when you're cold-calling places, you're wasting your time.
Q: What was your response rate when you were contacting these firms?
A: It started out at almost nothing, and I wasn't sure why since I felt my approach and cold-calling skills were fairly solid.
I thought the problem might be my resume, so I had you edit it for me and then my response rate jumped a lot higher – by the end I was getting responses from around 50-75% of banks after I had a stronger resume.
Comments: [Insert subtle message right here that blatantly sells my resume editing service, before the price goes up again on July 1.]
Q: No problem, I can't take all the credit for that one though.
One point that a lot of readers struggle with is getting contact information in the first place – how did you do that? When you cold-call, sometimes they're very reluctant to give you anyone's contact information or put you in touch with bankers.
A: If I couldn't find it on the website, I would call the secretary to ask about it and say, "Who can I speak to regarding recruiting / employment here?"
Sometimes they would transfer me, and sometimes they wouldn't – one "trick" I learned is that when I got transferred to voicemail, I would immediately hang up, call back, say I got disconnected, and then just ask for the real contact information.
They were more likely to give me real contact information (the actual first and last name, spelled out, of the person in charge of recruiting) on my second try – since I said "I got disconnected," they assumed it was a problem on their end.
The other reason I did this was to ask for the secretary's email address – once I learned what the company's email format was, I then applied it using the recruiter's first name and last name she just gave me.
I also got some referrals from the alumni database, though there wasn't a lot there – in those cases, I just emailed the alumni first and made sure to point out where I found them.
Sometimes I also just did simple Google searches – "@ubs.com," for example, would give me contact information for anyone there who put their address online.
Yet another method: I looked through old job postings on Doostang and Monstertrak, and wrote down names of firms I wasn't familiar with.
On Doostang, I looked through users' profiles to find firm names as well – this gave me names that weren't listed in any boutique database online.
Comments: I love his trick for getting real contact information by claiming he got disconnected the first time – you should learn this and apply it to every cold-call you make.
Online searches tend to be hit-or-miss, but it's worth a shot if you have the time – just make sure that you're not spending all your time looking for email addresses online, since calling is almost always a better option.
Q: Ok, so when you were emailing these people you came from a relatively unknown school without much finance experience – only that 1 accounting internship. Did you do anything to make yourself stand out or get their attention more effectively?
A: In my initial emails, I tried to make myself sound more experienced than I actually was. I would position myself as having been in the market before, and that I wasn't just an undergrad looking to break in.
I would always write something like, "I've worked at XYZ and XYZ firms before in XYZ industry, and I'm interested in learning more about opportunities at your firm" to avoid sounding like too much of a student.
Comments: This is a really good approach since he was coming from an unknown school. If he had gone to a top school, it would be good to point that out ("I'm currently a junior at Wharton and have worked at XYZ firms before…") but when you don't have an impressive name, it's better to leave it out.
Q: One of my most common questions is, "How do I follow-up? How often do I send emails to check in with people I've already spoken with?"
I usually say, "Don't email or call them every week, but make sure you're staying on their radar," but that's more applicable if you're developing long-term relationships.
Did you do anything differently to follow-up since you were focused on cold-calling local and smaller firms?
A: After I emailed a firm with my resume, I would wait 2 days to follow-up with a call. Then I'd wait a few more days and email them, then call again, and then if there was still no response I would email them to suggest a date and time for a call.
If I still didn't get a response after 4 separate follow-ups within the span of a week, I would wait 1.5 – 2 weeks and then try again with a series of follow-up calls and emails within a week.
Some banks didn't respond at all, and some did – there wasn't much of a pattern to it, and it was more of a numbers game than anything else.
Comments: This is pretty aggressive follow-up, but it worked well for him since he was calling and emailing specifically for internships. I would not be so aggressive if these were just informational interviews, as it might freak out the people involved.
Q: You were pretty successful in your recruiting – is there anything you would have done differently, looking back on it now?
A: I would have started earlier, for one. It's never too early to get started – even if you don't know 100% whether or not you want to do banking, it always helps to start building relationships early.
Outside recruiting, I would have focused more on "fit" questions rather than spending all my time studying the technical ones.
You're more likely to get tons of technical questions if you've had a previous banking internship. I found myself well-prepared on the technical side, but stumbling when it came to basic "fit" questions like "Tell me your strengths and weaknesses."
Also, lower your expectations. If you expect everyone to say "no," or you expect the worst in interviews, then anything better than that is a success.
Comments: Everyone always seems to have a different story when it comes to "fit" vs. technical questions – but I agree with him that lots of technical questions are more likely if you've had previous banking experience.
Q: Sounds good. Any parting advice for students still looking for internships or jobs, or for anyone out of work right now looking?
A: Keep at it. If you don't get something right now, don't give up until you have something lined up – a friend of mine was about to graduate with nothing lined up, but then he went around and started offering to work for free.
That allowed him to be way more competitive – and he got several unpaid opportunities, which could turn into paid options later on.
Also, look at my own story – I had my offer rescinded after I got it, then went around and continued to recruit until I found something else this spring… you just never know, and giving up too soon is a huge mistake especially when you're dealing with small firms that recruit year-round.
Comments: Well-said – there's no substitute for persistence. Offering to work for free can be a good idea, but mostly if you're an undergraduate – it doesn't work so well for MBAs or anyone with more experience.

Steel and fighting.
Steel because normal type is so rubbish against it, it's easy to kill the opponent stright away with some good super effective attcks.
Fighting cause cool attacks, Why not try Manchamp's cross chop or dynamicpunch?

August 28th, 2007, 9:57 AM
Fire is my #1 favourite type, followed closely by Water. I've loved Fire-types ever since the days of Red and Blue. In general, I go for the elemental types rather than the physical ones like Fighting and Normal.
August 28th, 2007, 10:19 AM

- What makes this even funnier is that they come after him again when he has Donna i.e when he doesn't have the stake anymore. Go fig.
- Speaking of that scene, Erica all gung-ho to catch Micheal and Donna. Once he breaks out the cross, she quickly backs off and cowers behind the red-haired bride.◊

UPDATE: J.P. Morgan Upgrades Trimble Navigation Limited to Reflect Positive Momentum
In a report published Wednesday, J.P. Morgan analyst Paul Coster upgraded the rating on Trimble Navigation Limited (NASDAQ: TRMB) from Neutral to Overweight, and raised the price target from $36.00 to $43.00.
In the report, J.P. Morgan noted, "We are raising estimates slightly to reflect positive momentum in E&C and improved margins from the firm's strategic shift into higher-value software and services, and we are upgrading TRMB to Overweight from Neutral. Improving cyclical prospects in construction and in enterprise IT bode well for TRMB's E&C and mobile segments heading into 2014, and the firm's long-term growth prospects remain compelling owing to the transition into geospatial business intelligence, which we view as a secular growth opportunity (see report, published today)."
Trimble Navigation Limited closed on Tuesday at $38.99.

Ms. Simmons recently retired from thirty years in the world of corporate finance to pursue the call of her long suppressed creative side, including creative writing and photography. Though having written countless memos, letters, and reports and published business articles throughout her career, she is enjoying the freedom and creative aspects of fiction. In one short year, she has published two articles, one showcasing her photography, completed and submitted one short novel for potential publication, and is working on the second draft of a general fiction novel. She lives with her husband outside Atlanta, Georgia on eight wooded southern acres that provide inspiration for both her writing and photography.
Review by:
Angieleigh Eads
on July 21, 2013 :
I received a review copy in exchange for my honest review.
This was an interesting book. I wouldn't classify it as a romance as there really wasn't any. It was more or less about a woman who works her butt off as an intern at an architectural firm in Atlanta to help pay the upkeep on her beloved family home in a small town hours away from the city hoping to be hired on in a full-time position. She finds out that there's a man who's buying up property all around her, but she refuses to sell.
Meryl is a bright young woman with what looks to be a solid future. She's not overly worried about marriage or children; she's very career-oriented. As the book goes along she learns a lot about herself and the world around her.
Lisa and Kim were great secondary characters that made me giggle. Riccardo, I'm still not sure if I liked him or not. In fact, you really don't get to know much about him as he's very secretive.
Other than some editing and grammar mistakes, I really enjoyed this book and hope there is a sequel.

Almond, who colleagues say "is on the very cautious side" when it comes to security for the violin, was attacked with a stun gun and robbed of the instrument after a performance at Wisconsin Lutheran College. »Read Full Article(57)

Victorian sewers help London's internet flow faster
Geo Networks brings fibre service to London from the city's sewers
WORK BEGAN IN LONDON in the 1850s to build a giant sewage network to rid the capital of waste that was causing major outbreaks of cholera along the Thames, leading to many deaths.
It was one of the biggest infrastructure projects of the time and was led by renowned engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette.
It proved a huge success and remains a vital component of London today by helping to remove tonnes of effluent from the capital. But there are other, more modern benefits, too.
By building thousands of miles of sewage tunnels under the city - 67,000 miles according to Thames Water - there is a network that is ideally suited to running fibre optic cables through the heart of London.
This is exactly what Geo Networks uses to run its services around London. Last week it announced that it had used the sewer network to help it reduce the length of connections between east and west London by 43km, which helped it reduce latency and offer more network diversity in the capital.
Clipped to the inside of around 300km of the underground tunnels are high-speed fibre optic cables that help carry network traffic freely through London, rather than having to loop around the edge of the city, as most other networks do.
The CEO of Geo Networks Chris Smedley, told The INQUIRER that the firm has been able to do this because it has a relationship with Thames Water, since it bought the firm out of a joint venture to deliver internet services.
"About eight years ago we bought a business from Thames Water, a subsidiary then known as Lattice Plc, which included the network assets already in place, and so we've always had a relationship," he said.
"This means we are able to work to plan rollouts and put them in place in a few weeks, rather than having to dig up roads. They [Thames Water] are comfortable with our operational arrangement and how we work together."
Smedley said that for many businesses, Geo's use of the sewers is seen as a big selling point because it provides another network route, to help provide backup and resilient capabilities.
"Most Geo customers are concerned about performance and uptime. Because we go through the sewers we take out a lot of these risks and can move data faster direct through the city," he said.
"Some customers want three or four routes, not just for their business but for specific applications."
The other benefit for Geo is that not many other providers have the means, or desire, to start building their own networks underground, or try to negotiate deals similar to the one it already has with Thames Water.
As such, a sizeable portion of its business comes from the leasing of lines to other providers or large enterprises, to provide their own lines.
"Because we have such a good wholesale proposition most other customers are happy to be our customers and we serve almost every other carrier business so they can deliver services onward to their customers," he said.
The cables are run along the ceilings of the sewers, as you can see in the images, to keep them clear of the water and its contents. Smedley boasted that the network remains highly resiliant as a result, having never suffered an outage.
Annelise Berendt, telecoms analyst at Point Topic, told The INQUIRER that Geo's ability to avoid any surface disruption when accessing or enhancing its network is key to it success.
"Geo was innovative in its use of the London sewers fairly early on," she said. "[It] certainly seems to have been successful in leveraging a cost-effective and faster approach to fibre deployment, compared with digging, in the crowded urban environment that is London."
Smedley attributes part of the success that Geo has had to its close working relationship with Thames Water, which means both firms trust one another and there is good communication when any work needs doing.
So while the idea of wading into a London sewer is not high on the agenda for most, for Geo, it's all part of the job when anything needs checking, or new fibre needs installing to help boost the capital's internet. Bazalgette would be proud. µ

CBNNews.com - NEW YORK CITY - On Tuesday, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Professor Gabriella Shalev, submitted a letter describing Hamas's use of civilians as human shields.
In the letter, addressed to UN Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon and the Security Council, Shalev described how the terror group operates out of civilian residences, schools, mosques and hospitals.
While the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) takes every precaution to protect civilians, including warnings by leaflets and cell phone calls, Hamas gunmen booby-trap homes and schools and other civilian sites, Shalev wrote.
Hamas bears responsibility for the IDF offensive, she said, which is meant to put an end to Palestinian rocket attacks on southern Israel and stop the flow of weaponry through the smuggling tunnels under the border with Egypt.
Ban is expected in the region this week to convince Israel to accept UN Security Council Resolution 1860, a document calling for an immediate cease-fire, reopening the "crossing points" between Israel and the Gaza Strip, while failing to mention the word "rocket" or to name Hamas.
"The fighting must stop," Ban told reporters in New York. "To both sides I say, just stop now. Too many people have died," he said.
"My goal is to step up the pace of our joint diplomatic efforts and ensure thta humanitarian assistance reaches those in need," Ban said.

In 2011, the UK Government announced that it would end bilateral aid to Indonesia, with the exception of environmental programs to halt deforestation and to promote climate change remediation. (By Alan Oxley, London)
Your comments:
Alan Oxley has failed to disclose that he works on behalf of industrial logging and plantation companies in Indonesia and Malaysia.
While his group typically portrays itself as a 'humanitarian', pro-poor NGO, the reality its primary purpose is to promote policies the serve industrial forestry interests.
World Growth and Alan Oxley have been widely criticized for using misleading information to promote this agenda.

Tony Matelli talks about his process
If you look around, there's a sort of quiet, cosmic war going on all around us. You can see it in the cracks of a sidewalk, on attic junk and down the gradual sag of a face. It's our effort against the beat of time. And it seems to be what, at least in part, Tony Matelli is exploring in his sculptural work at the Green Gallery East.
From the outside of the exhibition space, it may seem like you missed the opening night by a few years. Dusty mirrors propped against walls bear the handprints and doodles of bygone humans. Walking up to them for a moment almost channels a quieting, humanistic experience of a cave drawing. And it is then the liminal space you just trounced in on begins to move into focus. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

You'll be able to find paczki in grocery stores and bakeries about town, but the unofficial headquarters for paczki are National Bakery & Deli locations in Milwaukee (3200 S. 16th St.), Brookfield (13820 W. Greenfield Ave.) and Greendale (5637 Broad St.). The bakeries open up at 6:30 a.m., and over 30,000 paczki will be sold.

AppSmile ★★★★★
★App of the week - POCKET GAMER★
Dungelot is fun, addictive casual roguelike with easy controls. Flip over tiles to reveal amazing treasures or deadly monsters in your search for the key to exit the level.
Great Would buy if there were an upgrade feature in-game. That's my only gripe, the paid version being installed as a seperate app and thus not carrying over character progress from the free version. Update this and you have yourself a sale :)
Good game, annoying bug on my GS4 Lots of fun. Think I'm going to get the full version... One bug - on my GS4: when the description of the first boss showed up I could not dismiss it. I had to finish the level with the large explanatory window blocking the dungeon floor. Luckily taps managedbto register and I was able to finish the level. If the level wasn't already mostly complete I would have been stuck.
Well made, but ultimately too simple The graphics are polished, the menu design is fantastic, but it's ultimately lacking any sort of depth. Eager to see what this developer comes up with in the future though!
No customer service Bought the full version on Samsung tablet and it didnt give me access to full version on samsung phone. No customer service reply, waste of money nd gets old very quick
Good but big bug Don't use magic when specials onscreen as all other monsters will keep attack power up even after specials are defeated
Pixel dungeon is better (this cannot be called roguelike) -2 stars per easiness This one lacks of a very crucial characteristic of the genre: CHALLENGE. I have played for 1 day and I have almost upgraded my heroes to the max. It is simple: use paladin (don't bother with vampire), when you get 20 str you can give those undead +160 dmg (double max dmg & paladin's ability & double strike) , buy 2 swords in every shop to get to 20 str as fast as you can (don't wanna find an armor with 200 hp and 5 dmg with low str), and that's it. And don't minimize the game or you will loss your progress

Some interesting things happen when the 2D and 3D versions are extended to infinity (keeping the overall sizes the same): the surface area of the 2D reduces by 1/4 each iteration, eventually approaching zero. Similarly, the volume of the 3D version reduces to approach zero, but at the same time, the surface area of the Sierpinski tetrahedron stays constant. In other words, it becomes a solid object with a measurable surface area but with no volume!

Two bodies burned beyond recognition were discovered on the Pajarito Mesa near the 7500 block of Pajarito on Tuesday.
The county fire department was called to the area Monday night, but they couldn't find the fire. Nearby resident Carlos Proffit said he made that call.
"I looked further to the west and could see the flames in the arroyo," Proffit said. "So this morning, about 9 o'clock, I walked over there to see what had happened and there's a burnt vehicle and there's one pair of turnaround passenger car tracks in the road."
Proffit said he didn't get too close to the SUV and didn't see the bodies, but called 911 a second time.
A spokesperson for Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office said they got a call around noon on Tuesday about the burned-out SUV. When deputies got close to the vehicle, they discovered two bodies inside.
The fire was contained to the SUV itself and did not spread.
The bodies are burned beyond recognition, so their remains will be sent to the office of the medical investigator for positive identification.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office at 505-468-7100.

He is the most unkind. Mean individual I've ever met. I switched to his partner. And I've actively heard him talk badly about me. And make fun of me. He's also an alcoholic. Anybody with pain problems he will tell his staff. That person is on smack. Extremely unprofessional person and not very smart either. If you had an active heart attack. I swear he would not know what to do
Worst doctor I've ever been to. Completely uncompassionate. Go visit Michael Black if you want him to make you feel like a piece of dirt
My family was very disappointed in Dr Black as a medical professional. He misdiagnosed a family member that potentially could have resulted in death. Thankfully a second opinion saved her life.
My two teenage sons and I see Dr. Black. He is personable, professional, and does much to put you at ease. He is great with my son who has autism and helpful in medication oversight. Also, his staff is proficient and blood draws are as good as they get! Dr. Black is good about answering questions but I sometimes feel a bit rushed in asking them. As a consumer, I appreciate that there is minimal wait time for my appointment - perhaps this is the trade-off for little chit-chat. If I call in with questions, I always receive a prompt and satisfactory answer.
I have been on narcotic pain medications through a pain clinic for three years. Dr. Black had been my doctor for 8 years, as well. He was very familiar with my condition and my pain levels, and when I saw him last, he said he would only prescribe one month of my pain medication, to last until I was able to get to another pain clinic. He actually only gave me two weeks worth of pain medication, and when I ran out, I called and left a message letting him know. I was called back by a woman who told me that Dr. Black would not write any more prescriptions for narcotics, and that he called in a prescription for an anti-inflammatory. Anti-inflammatories are not used for my condition, because it is not an inflammatory problem. After telling the woman this, she called back again to tell me that Dr. Black still refused to give me any other options. After several more phone calls like this, I asked why I could not speak to him myself, so I could discuss my condition and other medication options. I was scheduled an appointment, and when Dr. Black walked in the door, he walked up to me, six inches from my face, and literally started screaming at me. He screamed that he would NOT prescribe narcotics, I needed to stop asking, and he went on for five whole minutes. I have never been so humiliated or berated by someone who is supposed to be caring for me. I started crying, and then he said he would send me a letter dismissing me as a patient. I'm still so upset by this... someone screaming in your face is a horrible thing to go through. I was never able to see him to speak to him about my condition and other options, before he exploded on me and made me feel like trash. Before this, I thought he was a good doctor, but now I would not recommend him to anyone - refusing to even discuss my treatment with me, and instead behaving the way that he did - that is NOT anywhere near the Hippocratic Oath.
My husband and I love Dr. Black. My previous dr., I would wait 2 hours just to get into a room, then another 30 mins to see him. Then, he came up with sometime off the wall. I am never in the waiting room at Dr. Black's longer than 10 mins and never in the room longer than 10 mins before he comes in. Then, he takes his time with us, answers all of our questions, wether it's my appointment, mu husband's, or our daughter's. He looks up answers if he is unsure. Dr. Black is a wonderful doctor!
My husband & I go to him & Love him. Makes you feel VERY comfortable.

Yeah, the "kids make you fat" thing drives me nuts. In fact, I know quite a few families with 6, 8, 10, even 12 children, and in the majority of cases, the mother is quite thin.
There's nothing innate in motherhood that means you have to be fat. And in a few more months, this mother of five aims to prove it!

So, hoping this works. This was really hard for me, b/c I basically hid from the camera whenever possible in my pre-primal days. These are the pics I could scrounge up.
First pic (preprimalme) is from June 2007, a/b 3 months after my ds was born. I had *gained* weight post pregnancy--not a good thing. 2nd is Dec. 2007. During this time I was a carboholic, processed soy eating vegetarian. Ooh but I tried to stick to *organic* processed foods. Way healthy right?
The 3rd pic (postrealfoodgf) is after I had dropped gluten, dairy, corn and soy and added in good quality meats and good fats (WAPF style w/out the gluten/dairy). Still not fully primal, but it made a BIG difference. Probably taken early/mid 2009 (went allergen free mid 2008)?
Primalme pics are of me today, basically fully primal (with a couple cheats here and there. ) I went grain free in Oct/Nov 2009, and have just gotten more and more primal since. Still working on it all, esp body comp stuff. But feeling awesome (the best part about all this for sure) and I think, looking better than I've *ever* looked... Woo hoo PB!!!
BTW, I feel like a teenager posing in the bathroom taking pics w/ a cell phone.

At first I wasn't sure of the size I needed, but you offered several choices which made the decision easier. The colors, style and overall appearance were fantastic. The labels fit right on the small mason jars and they look phenomenal!
