About me
My philosophy is that "Fitness is Movement": the more often you move and the better you do it, the more fit you will be. The exercises I incorporate focus on proper functional movement as opposed to building "beach muscles". I guide my clients through programs that can improve athletic performance, reduce soreness and prevent injury when participating in ski weekends, golf outings or pickup basketball games. At the same time my programs will also make it easier to carry a bag of groceries up a flight of stairs or pick up a box without throwing out your back! Losing weight, looking better in (and out of) clothes and being more self confident are all side effects of a proper fitness program that improves movement. I will help you move better!

Use of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic principles for decision support for short-course oritavancin dosing regimens for complicated skin and skin structure infections
Abstract number: O152
Rubino C.M., Bhavnani S.M., Forrest A., Okusanya O.O., Lehoux D., Drusano G.L., Rodvold K.A., Craig W.A., Parr Jr. T.R., Ambrose P.G.
Objectives: Optimal dose selection for Phase 2/3 clinical trials is critical for successful drug development. Application of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) principles provides a scientific basis for optimising both dose and duration of therapy. Dosing regimens for short-course therapy were evaluated for oritavancin (ORI), a novel glycopeptide currently in development for complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI).
Methods: Using PK data from 20 intensively-sampled subjects who received ORI 800 mg IV Q24h x 5 days, a population PK model was developed. PK parameter estimates based on this model were used to conduct simulations to evaluate daily and cumulative free-drug plasma AUC values following front-loaded ORI regimens (i.e., the majority of the AUC is delivered on Day 1) of 800 to 1200 mg. Both single-and multiple-dose regimens were evaluated. Multiple-dose regimens involved a loading dose followed by a booster dose (400 or 800 mg) on Day 4, 5 or 6. Population PK analysis and simulations were performed using S-ADAPT 1.53. Free-drug AUC values for each regimen were assessed relative to those associated with a 1 and 2 log10 CFU decrease in S. aureus using data from a neutropenic murine-thigh infection model (Craig WA, Andres DR. ICAAC 2004, Abstr. A-1863). Single-dose free-drug AUC values in mice corresponding to a 1 and 2 log10 CFU decrease were 61 and 159, respectively. Free-drug AUC values were also assessed relative to those successfully studied for previous cSSSI studies (200 mg Q24h X 37 days) and S. aureus MIC population statistics.
Results: A 3-compartment model with zero-order input and linear clearance best described the PK data. Plasma concentrations were well fit by the model (r2 = 0.966). ORI 1200 mg X 1 dose or 800 mg on Day 1 followed by 400 mg on Day 5 provided mean cumulative free-drug AUC values which exceeded non-clinical free-drug AUC targets and which were similar to those values for the previously studied 37 day 200 mg Q24h regimen (see Table).
Discussion/Conclusion: The approach to support selection of short-course dosing regimens described herein is especially useful for agents such as ORI, which display a concentration-dependent pattern of bactericidal activity and a long half-life. It is predicted that front-loaded ORI regimens will result in improved response rates for patients with cSSSI relative to those regimens previously studied. These data were used to support dose selection for a Phase 2 cSSSI study.

A new course for county government
January 16, 2013 —
Right now, all nine Sullivan County legislators are facing some difficult decisions in terms of how to set a new course for county government that envisions fiscal responsibility, ethical conduct and smaller, leaner government. The six new members of this group, with a year of experience under their belts, are considering important changes to address significant problems of prior administrations and to build a better county government.
One change is to address an imbalance of power that allows the county manager to basically run county government as he or she deems fit, including making unilateral policy decisions with only cursory oversight from the county legislature. This imbalance of power has resulted in part from the county legislature's inability to hire and fire a county manager by a 5-4 majority vote. Right now, it takes a 6-3 vote.
To make matters worse, the county manager's contract makes it almost impossible to fire him.
When the Sullivan County Charter was created in 1996, the county manager was intended to serve "at the will" of a majority of the legislature. This is common practice. At-will employment is a doctrine of American law in which either party can terminate the relationship at any time with or without any advance warning. The employer is free to discharge individuals "for good cause, or bad cause, or no cause at all." Likewise, the employee is equally free to quit, strike, or otherwise cease work.
In 2007, the county charter was amended to require a two-thirds majority "to appoint, suspend or remove the county manager." This seemingly insignificant revision not only changed the original intent of the charter, but also undermined the authority of the elected county legislature by shifting great power to the county manager position and has caused big problems since then; in particular, the county manager answers to only three of nine legislators and communicates to them alone important information about how policy is being created and driven. He or she basically has carte blanche in working with those three alone to conduct county business.

9 Major Benefits of Fusion 2 & 3 Audio
To make deep changes in your self or advances in your life, whether for healing or spiritual evolution, you need a deep understanding of who you are. Fusion 2 & 3 maps out the deep core channels that form the structure of our Energy Body, the matrix that underlies our physical body-mind. This knowledge, when combined with Fusion 1, offers extremely powerful tools for exploring your self and the creative process of life itself.
Additional notes on Fusion:
Get the package? I recommend you get the 16 CD audio Fusion #1 and #2 & 3 together with the DVD. If you can afford it, you save on shipping and get a discount. The three fusion practices mesh with each other like a hand in a glove. Once you learn Fusion 1, it will be useful to have Fusion 2/3 at hand when you are ready for it.
Fusion 1 focuses on awakening the 5 vital organ spirits, Fusion 2/3 activates the 8 deep energy channels that the 5 organ spirits regulate. The package includes the 8 Extraordinary Vessels Qigong DVD, mainly used for Fusion #2 & 3.
The DVD has three qigong forms on it, including the Nourish the Five Body Spirits Qigong (renamed �Spiral Love in Creation Cycle Qigong) taught in Fusion #1. This qigong form is described in the Fusion 1 audio, and its simple enough to get from the audio plus handout, but its always easier to learn from the video.
Which to train first � Fusion or Healing Love? Fusion practices pave the wave for sexual energy cultivation of Healing Love, which regulates outer sexual desires and sex functioning. Our sexual drive is infused with many incomplete feelings. By completing those feelings internally with Fusion, we can then make conscious and manage what is purely sexual. Fusion is thus essential preparation for learning the inner sexual alchemy of the Kan and Li formulas � the copulation of one�s inner male and inner female energies.
Many people � men especially � tend to skip Fusion and race ahead directly to the sexual practices. But mastery of �sexual kung-fu� will be limited if you do not also master your emotions. It is easier to master your emotions when they are not inflamed with sexual passion. Fusion will be truly liberating for many women who feel controlled by strong emotion or overwhelmed by their sensitivity of feeling. Sexual issues for them will come into clear focus once the emotional aspects have been separated out and dissolved.
Fusion & Martial Arts: Fusion practices are central to developing a functional internal �energy body� or �chi body�. Without it, your energy body may lack a true center. There is a danger of developing too much chi through external movement practice. Fusion practices are thus helpful to martial artists, who tend to bypass emotional development while seeking power over others. Fusion offers a way to refine and integrate the emotional chi, and ensure it is expressed virtuously.
Summer retreat rebate: If you buy the homestudy course and later take the Fusion summer retreat within the year, you get half your money back. Note: Normally this rebate only applies to courses I teach. I do not teach the Fusion summer course, so be prepared for a somewhat different version, each teacher has their own style. I accept the Fusion 1-3 home study course as completing pre-requisites for live study of Lesser Kan & Li retreats.
Buy the Fusion book? Mantak Chia�s Fusion book is useful, but not necessary. Its very difficult to learn these practices well from a book, which is why �oral transmission� is always emphasized in the Taoist tradition. My home study course includes detailed handouts with the most essential illustrations from the book. Of the 9 formulas in Chia�s book only the first 4 are part of the original Fusion 1 practice. The last 5 formulas in the book are fragments borrowed from the higher kan and li formulas (and were published over my strenuous editorial objection).
I personally recommend you do NOT skip ahead to those fragmentary formulas 5 through 9 in the Fusion book. One Cloud�s seven Tao Formulas for Achieving Immortality are a progressive training. It�s a mistake to absorb chi from the 5 planets before you have learned to manage even your basic emotions. The personal emotions just get overshadowed and buried deeper in your unconscious. Read my article on �Clearing the Confusion Over Fusion� in articles section.
I have evolved the Fusion practices I learned from Mantak Chia. I�ve integrated into my Fusion practice other aspects of Taoist alchemy that fit well with Western psychology. For example, Chia does not work directly with the Five Shen (vital organs spirits), only with their chi. I made these changes to meet the needs of the different emotional nature of Westerners, whose energy bodies are quite different from those of the Chinese.
Time Frame: Fusion 1 should be progressively learned for 100 days AFTER the Qigong Fundamentals 1 & 2 (minimum), and preferably after Qigong Fundamentals 3 & 4 for extra grounding. Fusion 1 trains one in the art of �emotional grounding�, and if you are not solidly in your body, its harder to ground your emotional body.
Once you�ve got a good grasp of Fusion 1, the Fusion 2/3 practices become much easier and can be learned quickly. But still allow yourself another 100 days to fully integrate the practice, especially the grounding belt channels and spiral into the earth. Many people find the Fusion 2/3 practices greatly strengthen the Fusion 1 practice. But you still need to learn Fusion 1 first, to plant the seeds of its own further development.
Each individual progresses at a unique pace. Time frame may be affected by personal nature, health issues, your openness to subtle energy, and amount of time spent practicing. Those who take a Healing Tao retreat or workshop, with its live transmission, may progress much faster. Live work with a group adds momentum to your chi experience.
The rule of thumb is to experiment with a new method until you feel you �own the practice�. This means the chi flow of that practice is inside you, you can tap it anytime, it feels comfortable and familiar. It�s become a tool, you can use it when needed.
You do NOT need to �master� or �perfect� these practices before learning the next course � which in my sequence is either Healing Love or Lesser Kan & Li. Just as the �self� is a fluid process, �self-mastery� is a continuous, lifelong process. Please, don�t use �lack of mastery� as an excuse not to try the next method.
I am still in process of mastering these practices � after 25 years! No matter how advanced you become, life will continually serve up new challenges to whatever level of clarity of feeling you�ve achieved.

Praise for Michael Winn's "Tai Chi for Enlightenment"
Now I Can Download Love, Trust, Courage, Wisdom, & Kindness from the Universe!
Profound thanks for the great, great Fusion 1-3 workshops. I thought they were taught at such an astonishingly deep level and am grateful for your ability to teach it with such respect for where each of us are.
Fusion has opened so much for me, it's difficult to describe. I feel I have long needed tools to deal with energy arising inside and energy projected at me from others. In prior years, they have knocked me far off my center.
In Fusion #1 workshop I noticed as I expanded the earth shen/pearl to embrace each of the other pearls, they began to reveal bits of them self. I began to get some sense of the depth and age of the blue, kidney shen, the exhilaration, delicacy, and energy of the green liver shen and, to me the overwhelming power of the heart spirit. As the heart shen began to open and reveal the power of real love, I had to stop, not seemingly ready to accept a full glimpse.
I am again on "speaking terms" with my lung shen. I greatly benefit from "downloading" trust, love, courage, kindness, and wisdom from the universe when I need it. I didn't know there was such bounty and generosity surrounding us.
Periodically, I have experienced an "opening" of my consciousness in which I am able to take in and sit and embrace the opposites in my life. This has taken me to places of great quiet and peace, a feeling that in Taoist terms might be balanced or harmonious. Some of the fun has been that everything seems lightly balanced, and susceptible to falling to one side or the other, yet has stayed with me through a variety of stressful stimuli. Perhaps it is not so fragile.
I look forward to studying the higher alchemy formulas, realizing how little I know.
Thanks again � you have my greatest respect as a teacher. It is a privilege to have been in your Fusion classes. I know you were carrying the energetic burden of the entire group, and yet you were able to lead the class so beautifully.
Dana B., Houston
Shocked and astonished at how powerful Fusion process is!
I have been shocked and astonished at how powerful this Fusion process is! Shocked � at how much �stuff� that I thought was resolved, but it all came floating back up to the surface during my first Fusion meditation. Some painful old relationships that I thought were buried were still haunting me. They were probably responsible for an undefinable sense of anxiety I�ve been suffering from for years.
I am Astonished at how quickly these deep issues are being resolved. After only a few days of practice I feel so much clearer and more peaceful. I know there is more to go, but thank you and the Tao so much for giving me the tools I needed to go into these hurtful areas of my life. Thanks from the depth of my Heart!

Fusion Got Me Through A Big Emotional Test
The situation: a customer of mine called to complain about my wallpaper job. She railed about my incompetence, compared me to her dead father, who 'expertly' hung paper. She wanted to meet me at a model house to show me 'how much better another job was, compared to mine'. Oy!
Ironically, this wallpaper job was completed on the very day I left for Fusion 1 last month, and it�s the first complaint I met up with upon my return.
Inner process: I moved from panic and fear at getting caught at a mistake, to self righteous 'how dare you' anger, to worry at my reputation, and finally doubt of my own integrity. As the meeting date with the woman got closer, the thought of it made my stomach churn with adrenaline and fear.
How Fusion helped: Before the meeting, I brought this situation into my vital organ shen/pearls. I let myself really feel the shaking of fear in my kidneys and the fire of my anger in the liver. It brought up memories of my parents, authority issues, and my tendency to hide emotions from others and boil them inside. I would balance and dissolve these feelings in my perfect fusion weather system. But still, when the time came closer, fear and apprehension, a feeling like stage fright, ruled.
On the day of the meeting: I had a tape of fusion playing in my car and heard one sentence that drilled into me. The 'Po' lung soul is the one we meet the world with. It is constantly required to breathe in the energy of life, to embrace the outer world. I enlarged that pearl of white light and a feeling of peace ran over me. I was in neutral by the time I met the woman.
I explained my choices in doing the job, after assuring her I understood hers. I smiled at her, inner and out smile at the same time. Amazingly, she just let it go. "Thanks," she said," I just wanted to understand why you did it that way. SO much has gone wrong in that house. Now I see what you did and we'll just move on."
How I relate Fusion to my life: It struck me how I frequently have intense inner emotions and fights and talks going on inside. Yet due to protective instincts of my past, I have hidden them from a full expression with others or denied full feelings inside � I was worried about self image. Emotions run hot under my skin surface like volcanic magma waiting for an explosion, or more likely an implosion. My team of Lung souls were hanging around my aura, separated out of body because of this pattern: emotionally stuck ghosts of myself awaiting embodiment and expression in relationship.
My Fusion practice this morning: Strongly guided me to soften into my white pearl souls. My breath feels more connected to my core. I�ve added another layer of bonding between the many fragmented selves in my personality. There is a deeper recognition of these essence aspects in my core being. I can feel that collectively we really desire to achieve a new balance in the world out/in there.
Thanks to Fusion, we are creating that world of harmony and balance, one breath at a time.

Fusion Opened Up A Battle With My Shadow
I started fusion of the five elements this week using your audio tapes. First, I discovered that my heart was very arrogant and did not want to join the dance at first. It felt it was superior to the other shen. It wanted to be separate � the only way it could maintain its sense of superiority over the other organ spirits.
My feel was the fire spirit had compensated for past trauma to the earth and metal spirits. It was taking over some of their work, or trying to at least. Thus it felt it couldn't trust the others. It considered them to be worthless; it resented their weakness. I'm betting that just made the others even weaker.
I also had a powerful experience during the inner weather meditation. I encountered my Shadow. I wasn't hallucinating, it was similar to a dream, but was a vision. I was wide awake, the vision continued whether my eyes were open or closed.
The vision began: I sat down against a tree in the forest. The Shadow appeared and attacked me. I fought briefly with him and then stopped. I stood still as he thrust a claymore sword into my solar plexus. I fell to the ground, dying. Then I pulled the sword from my body and held it in my hand. My hand sent fire into the sword and it burst into flame, and then dissolved. I attacked my shadow with extreme ferocity, fire burning in my body. I struck him again and again.
Shadow then brandished a double-headed axe and swung it vigorously. I used the heavy weight of the axe to my advantage, throwing his body weight significantly with each swing. I fell to the ground and placed a kick to the back of his knee. As he fell I struck the jade pillow point at the back of his head. I hit it several more times after he had fallen. Fire poured from my hands, and I placed them on the jade pillow. My heart fire entered the shadow body, burning demonic looking creatures that hid within.
Shadow was now lying face up, my hands burning into his third eye. I began to move my hands to his heart. He began to struggle, writhing about trying to escape my hold. Knives appeared and fell into his hands and feet, pinning him. He still struggled. My resolve increased and I plunged my burning hands into his chest with increased power. (My solar plexus feels strange during all of this, it was somewhat painful.)
I then see myself with white hair and white clothing � the color of the metal element - swirled with black. I hold a staff of the same colors, with a spinning yin-yang at its head. I plunge the staff into the shadow self's solar plexus. I see many creatures I considered demons. Some are beautiful. Lucifer is the name of the energy. It says we are one. My power is your power. I am you. I feel an immense energy welling up from my solar plexus, filling my whole body, my third eye especially.
I then lose my resolve to vanquish the shadow, and it jumps up. It then leaps into my body. I fall to the ground. Darkness and light dance in many different ways. I see swirls of white and black, mixing, almost playing. I then see little angels above, and "demons" below. I realized that the demons were not demons, save for the negative charge I gave them.
I then asked for assistance of all beings that had my highest interest in mind. Little fairy-like creatures came and began to sew a glowing web over my solar plexus. I asked that they continue to work even after I shifted my focus away. My feel was that earth elemental beings would come to work on the hole within my solar plexus after the web was complete. I then finished the fusion of the five elements meditation, feeling balanced and complete.

Naughty Wednesday: The Pigsty
Dear Readers,
Due to life changes we have been forced to move the great and brilliant Naughty Thursdays to Wednesdays.
We apologize if this disrupts your schedule, we are working to provide you with better entertainment.
Sincerely yours,
Headmaster, Doggy's Style
Naughty Wednesday: The Pigsty
What you are about to read is 100% true. I didn't embellish a single bit. If anything, I removed DIRTY details.
I'm currently sharing my office space with individuals of the swine family.
With PIGS!
No, no, not cute pigs like Babe but smelly pigs like, well, like pigs.
See, BO is a huge issue for me. I recently had to relinquish — scratch that — I was forced to leave my beloved desk because the person working next to me stinks like crap.
All because I wanted to be nice and not call him out on his shit (no pun intended). I was asked not to say anything, "Leo, don't say anything, you are too mean, he's new"
See, we are all guys working here, but I set the rules for the usage of the toilet: nobody does number 2 here, nobody!
You wait till you get home or go to the nearest restaurant.
Hell yeah!
However, we have recently added new staff. These people do not work in my division which limits my power over them, hence, I can't fire them just because they stink.
A week ago someone crossed the line of nastiness.
I understand dripping when you pee, but cleaning after yourself is mandatory. Nobody needs to see your "leftovers," it's your workplace not your pigsty!
I told them when it started to happen that they were pigs, but surprisingly nobody came forward to apologize to the rest for not having the sanitary practices expected of a civilized human being.
Now, my friends, what I found Friday in the sink was jaw dropping.
PUBIC HAIR in the fucking sink!!!!
Someone is either beating the monkey at work or washing his dick. Both are unacceptable and gross.
I summoned all the guys and asked about it. There was 1 person missing, and we all know it was that person because he's the stinky one.
Mind you, you would think the rest of them would talk to this guy before I do, but no, they all are cowards.
I gotta be the one doing the talking, and it'll be my pleasure. I won't accuse him directly because I didn't see him (thank god!) polishing or washing his knob, but I'll drop the bomb and the first one sweating is a goner.
What would you do?

Help – I Need Some Motivation!
"I need some motivation. I currently need to lose 10lbs per doctors order. I would love to lose a little bit more. I won't lie, I seem to come up with many excuses why I can't workout. I can use some advice…what can you tel me……thanks" ~ UnMotivated Mom
I am inviting you into a conversation I had with an unmotivated Mom on the FYM Facebook page.
My hopes are that it will give you some ideas for strategies you can use when you feel you just can't get motivated – maybe even share some of your own and together we can create a great resource for Moms who need a little motivation to either Get Started….or….Keep Going.
So, after the UnMotivated Mom asked this very general and open ended question, I had to ask for more information to be clear on what it was she was looking for….
Me: I would love to help but I am not too sure what you want me to tell you….if you could be more specific.
UnMotivated Mom: "well, I no longer know what to do to lose this weight.
I use to be able to lose weight with just running but for the past three years that just doesn't do it. I have been told to cut on carbs, but bewing a runne I have always eaten carbs. I only drink water 8-9 glasses a day. And I do Zumba on Wii on and off. At this point I have just given up hope of ever losing this weight. I use to be a size 6 now I am a size 12. I love the will you have and you seem to do different exercises daily. Should I exercise everyday? Do different exercise? I am just so confused and frustrated."
(***the beauty of Facebook allows me to take a quick glance at this mom's FB page and get an idea of what she's been up to – which allows me to give the following suggestions based on her current situation***)
Me: Thanks for the added info. Gives me direction on where to go – and just a forewarning….my advice is not for everyone – so if it does not sit well with you, this is okay…just a sign I am not the right resource for you at this time. If you are open to it – here we go….
1. Motivation
Comes from your reasons WHY.
If a Dr. telling you that it is imperative for health reasons that you lose the weight – and this does not do it for you…then here are 2 more strategies that just might jar you to take the RIGHT action.
- Make a list of the consequence you face by continuing to do what you've always done….where are you headed by not making a change for the better.
- Look into the eyes of yor 2 year old daughter and ask yourself – is this the lifestyle you wish to teach her – to grow up and follow in your footsteps? To think that weight loss is all about cardio and dieting? To despise vegetables, to eat a diet primarily of carbs? Take a look at the list you made above again – is this also what you want her to see you go through? To think its just Okay to give up on taking better care of yourself?
You can tell your daughter the right way to live until you are blue in the face – reality is – your actions have the biggest impact on what she is learning.
And if this does not get you…then I am at a loss.
2. Losing 10 Pounds
Very rarely would a Dr advise you to "lose weight" and expect you to do it through exercise alone.
Health issues are mainly caused by the eating habits we have established over the years. Yes moving your body is important to staying healthy – however the bulk of your results – both weight loss and health related will be achieved by getting honest about your eating habits.
And let's get real about the advice you have been receiving about what it takes to lose 10 pounds quickly (her FB friends were suggesting 2 weeks of P90x and cutting out all carbs)- extreme workouts are a quick fix. What happens when you stop working out?
Where will you be then?
Hopefully this is more than enough to get you thinking…and begin taking action.
Once again, if what I have said is not what you are ready to face or hear, then this is not the right place for you. I do however I appreciate taking a big step forward and asking…if anything maybe it will save another mom out there.
Be Careful of Making Excuses
I also want to point out that it's also an excuse when you find yourself saying….
"I don't know what to do to lose weight"
Think about what this sounds like.
Yes you do have the knowledge. At the very least you know what you have been doing is NOT working – and this is a HUGE start to doing it Differently.
Consider this….
If eating too many processed carbs, not enough veggies and just doing cardio is stalling your ability to get results – then a wouldn't a first step be to cut down the processed carbs, increase your veggies and choose a workout plan that helps boost your metabolism and get stronger?
Be careful of such Excuses – they rob you of the power to do something about it.
Make Motivation Happen
I would also add that Motivation is NOT something that "just happens" to you…rather it is a CHOICE you make Every Day – as the motivational poster states above. Sitting back and waiting for it to happen is the perfect recipe for NO Motivation.
Keep Your Goals In Your Sights
Other than the big steps outlined above, you can also create a Vision Board of your Goals. Turn what it is you are working hard to achieve into a poster filled with visual images and empowering quotes that you hang somewhere that you can look at it several times a day.
Keeping your goals IN SIGHT at ALL TIMES makes a Big Difference to your focus and motivation.
Focus On The Benefits
Also, as a flip to considering the consequences, make a list of all the positive benefits of choosing healthy foods and choosing to workout. Try Visualizing what it feels like after your workout – the burst of energy, the feel of a tighter, stronger body – is a great motivational strategy.
Holly Tip:
If I'm having one of those days, here is what I do to get myself motivated to workout.
I tell myself that ALL I have to do is one super set – then I can go about whatever it is I need to be doing. Cool thing is – once I get going, I feel better and I remember why I enjoy my workouts so much – and say Why NOT complete your full workout? Then I am Proud of myself for doing even MORE than what I initially promised.
When it comes to Eating – this is a habit that takes time to establish. There are days that yes I may have one too many UNsuppotive foods – however, I do not feel my best after this and look forward to getting back on track. The key is not to allow a Slip Up to turn into a year's worth of unhealthy habits. Each minute, each hour, each day – you have a CHOICE to turn it around.
So let me ask you – when it comes to motivation what advice would you give?
Great news is that UnMotivated Mom did reply….
"Thank you, this was the wake up call I needed. You are right, the fact that my Dr. said I need to lose the weight should be enough. But its hards sometimes when I want to eat the right foods and my husband decides to buy take out. I wish I could say that I am strong enough to say no to bad foods.
And I do want my daughter to have good eating habits, as of now she is the pickest eater out of my three kids. I know that I def need to eat more veggies, and I need to cut big time on my carbs. I will write down the reason for losing the weight and post it on fridge. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me and give me your input. I will keep you posted on my progress."
Great to know she has begun to find the drive that will help her to be more aware of the choices she is making and focus on the small steps she can take each day – that will add up to positive, healthy, life changing results.

Peak Moment 181: Partners in preparedness: Neighborhoods and emergency responders
The last thing "Dr. Doom" Bob Hamlin expected was citizens offering to help his county Emergency Management Department. But when Deborah Stinson from Port Townsend's Local 20/20 came to Bob's office after Hurricane Katrina, they formed a partnership. Citizens are organizing and educating neighborhoods to be more self-reliant in emergencies. And they're at the table with emergency responders in planning for disasters. (www.L2020.org/ep).

Haskell Harelik had fled Russia to escape pogroms, docking not in Ellis Island but in Galveston, Texas, via a plan to route Eastern European Jews to the West. He spoke no English and was the first Jew the Hamilton residents had ever seen. But he found some friendly faces, and he stayed in that Baptist town, founding a dry goods store and raising three sons there.
The unexpected success story is the subject of "The Immigrant," actor/writer Mark Harelik's musical adaptation of the play he wrote to honor his grandfather (at the Colony Theatre in Burbank through May 4), and the show has traveled a journey as arduous and as rewarding as its protagonist's.
It began after another Harelik project fell through at the Denver Center Theatre in 1985. When the artistic director asked if he had anything else that could go into rehearsal in a month, the author's thoughts turned to his grandfather.
"He had been my hero since I was a boy," Harelik said. "He was not a captain of industry or a soldier who had saved his platoon, but a different kind of hero -- a very kind, generous person who, as the only Jew in town, brought ecumenism to an isolated rural community.
"For a Jew to be so accepted in that all-Baptist environment was inspirational," he added. "I thought of him as one of the lamed vavniks -- the Talmudic concept of 36 righteous people upon whom the fate of the world stands."
"The Immigrant," which initially starred Harelik as his own grandfather, was such a hit that it went on to become the most produced play in the country in 1991 and remains one of the most frequently programmed works in regional theater.
The musical, which features klezmer-meets-Copeland style songs by Sarah Knapp and Steven M. Alper, debuted in 2000 and played off-Broadway in 2004. While neither the play nor the musical has been a critical success (reviews of the Colony Theatre show have been mixed), the comedy-drama about the struggle to maintain one's cultural identity in the melting pot has struck a chord with diverse viewers.
"Jews and non-Jews all over the country have said, 'This is my grandfather's story,'" Harelik recalled.
During rehearsal breaks at the Colony Theatre, cast and crew shared anecdotes about their own immigrant forebears. Musical director Dean Mora described his Mexican great-great uncle, who was the Archbishop of Los Angeles in 1890; actor Chris Guilmet, who plays Haskell, traced his roots from France to Quebec to Maine; and director Hope Alexander (n�(c)e Ossipoff) recounted how her Ukrainian father fled Cossack pogroms, never to see his extended family again. Alexander said she loves the play, "because I feel it is a quintessential American story. It is about all our families; strangers in a strange land, who carved (and continue to carve!) the American dream out of hard work, hope and tears."
Mark Harelik's Jewish identity was shaped by the old and new world stories exchanged around the family dinner table when he was a boy in Hamilton. During his early childhood, he remembers attending synagogue in Waco, Texas, with his grandparents and "feeling warmed by their contact with their religion and their beliefs." But by the time Mark was preparing for his bar mitzvah, his grandfather had moved out of town, Mark's mother was dying of Hodgkin's Disease and the remaining relatives found themselves "in painful isolation, with no religious or cultural raft to carry us through dark waters." "The Legacy," Harelik's 1995 sequel to "The Immigrant," draws on the crisis of faith he experienced as he prepared for his bar mitzvah.
"I stopped being a practicing Jew the minute I left for the University of Texas at Austin," Harelik said. "The late 1960s zeitgeist was to reevaluate everything and start over, and I was very easily persuaded. Thereafter, my relationship with Judaism became embodied only by my relationship with my grandparents."
The day he sat down to write "The Immigrant," Harelik had learned that his grandfather, then suffering from Alzheimer's disease, did not recognize his own name. The nonagenarian was too ill to ever see the production; he died in 1987.
"The play was all that remained of this good man's life," his grandson said. "But he was so humble he would have been surprised audiences were so interested in his story."
In fact, hundreds of productions have been staged across the United States; Harelik created the musical version because he felt the genre would serve the folksy characters and make his grandfather's saga even more universal.
He said he hopes to write a third play to create a "Hamilton" trilogy: "It will describe the passing of the last Jews from town," he said. "And once again there will be this all-Baptist community, where for two generations a Jewish family thrived. It's a trend that is happening all across the landscape. Whereas a century ago there were Jews throughout the West, there are now vast Jewish cemeteries in towns with no Jews."
For now, Harelik's parents still live in Hamilton, and the actor-writer likes to visit with his 2-year-old son, named (what else?) Haskell Harelik.
"A century after my grandfather first set foot in town, people tell me how much they enjoy knowing two Haskell Hareliks, one on each end of life," he said.

Cee Lo Green Farts A lot, According To Christina Aguilera
Cee Lo Green is very gassy, according to his "The Voice" co-judge Christina Aguilera. The songstress revealed his secret in a recent TV interview with Ellen deGeneres.
Aguilera stated that she doesn't like to sit too close to the not-so funky fresh star when they make appearances together.
She told DeGeneres, "(I'm sitting) between Blake and Cee Lo with his gas over there...That's why I have the fan, you know."
Afraid she may have upset her pal, Aguilera quickly laughed off her comment and added, "I love you Cee Lo. Don't be mad. Everybody knows."
It's been a good week for the other two "The Voice" judges - Adam Levine and Blake Shelton earned Grammy nominations. Levine and his band Maroon 5 earned recognition in the "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance" category for their hit single "Payphone," and their most recent album "Overexposed" is on the short list for the "Best Pop Vocal Album" trophy.
Shelton was nominated in the "Best Country Solo Performance" category for the song "Over" from his album Red River Blue.

Another close call, also on the Middle Prong
Ironically, I also had a close call on the Middle Prong yesterday. I parked at the first one lane bridge above Tremont at about 7AM. To make a long story short, I slipped and fell into a deep run. My waders filled and after a few scary moments I ended up on the far bank. With no way to safely cross back to the road I started hiking toward the Smoky Mountain Institute. There were several places where I had to climb to get around the steep walls. With the river so high I had no choice. After 2 long climbs I was too exhausted, cold and wet to climb when I came to the third. I stood on the far bank and was able to wave down a couple of guys from Nashville (Brian and ?) who tied together some bungee cords, threw them across the river and towed me to safety. (I you guys read this, I am eternally grateful. Drop me an email if you get a chance.) I was lucky. I have always been a little to aggressive in my wading, and yesterday it caught up with me. Please be careful out there.
Finally, if anyone finds the butt end (with a Ross reel) or tip end of a Winston WT, 8' 4WT, please give me a shout.
Re: Another close call, also on the Middle Prong
After reading these misfortunes I was wondering if any of you wear so-spenders inflatable vest. If the rivers are that dangerous maybe you would wear them. I am glad I read this, I will be there in June and will wear mine. I am somewhat clumbsy and don't want to die anytime soon.
Re: Another close call, also on the Middle Prong
In June there may not be enough water to wet a line in ;). Sometimes it gets pretty dry around here in the summer :'(.

Dating back to their inception in 1932, the Washington Redskins—then Boston Braves—are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history.
2012 marks the 80th anniversary for a team that has seen a number of great and historic events over its time.
The team boasts almost 20 Hall of Famers, five league championships, 15 division titles and 22 playoff appearances.
Former Redskins standouts like Sammy Baugh and Doug Williams changed the way the game was played and made history while doing so. Baugh helped to usher in the era of the forward pass while Williams was the first black quarterback to play in the Super Bowl and the only to ever win one.
With such a rich tradition, let's take a look back at the five best moments in Redskins history.

The Sweet 16 gets underway today and teams like Kentucky and Michigan State will be favored to advance to the Elite Eight, but what teams will actually advance can never truly be predicted.
So the important question is, what big-time players will step up and guide their teams to the next round?
This is another unpredictable factor, as the tournament always seems to provide the platform for a star to be born, If I had to guess, I would expect a big performance out of Wisconsin's Jared Breggeran against Syracuse without Fab Melo, a fearless Yancy Gates as he goes head-to-head with Jared Sullinger, an inspired showing from Thomas Robinson and a re-emergence out of Perry Jones.
Of course, there's always the potential for major upsets—like a win by Ohio over UNC—and these are the type of games where an occasional unexpected player will emerge as a savior.

Lately, Norton has been coughing a lot. It sounds kind of like a little fake cough, and it's adorable. At first, I thought this was some new infant behavior where he was imitating Mommy. My lungs suck. I cough a lot.
And this precious little "eh-eh-heh" cough doesn't sound remotely real, like a sick cough or a congested cough. It had to be phony, right?
Then I realized that this wasn't a fake cough; this was a teething cough. He was drooling so much from the teething that the teething cough is his way of not choking on his own drool.
It's absolutely adorable, though. He's just dripping with baby slobber with a big smile on his face, and then there will be that oh, so phony sounding teething cough.
I find it surprising that I don't actually remember any of this stuff with Andy. At this point in his life, I was still rather active in a mother's role, so why is the memory all gone? The husband, however, is forever reminding me of the fact that I was essentially deprived of the mother's role with Andy, so there's really no point in making any comparisons. In a lot of ways, Norton is my first child.
Still, I don't know why I can't recall any of this. Clearly, Andy went through a period of teething behavior. I mean, he has teeth. (If he didn't have teeth at the age of twelve, then I would probably remember that.)
So why is Norton's teething behavior all new to me?
Is it just the age gap and the passage of time?
Or perhaps it was just a lack of education. I remember when my nephew Christopher was two, my sister teased him about phony coughing. Maybe it was just teething behavior that none of us had ever recognized as such? After all, Mama never told any of us about a teething cough when she was talking us through parenting issues.
I'm not really sure where the disconnect comes from, but I suppose it doesn't really matter at this point. The reality is, Norton is clearly teething, and the education that I've picked up in the last twelve years kind of matches up with this being a teething cough.
Did your babies cough when they were teething? Did it ever seem to bother them, or was it more like… well, just a thing that they did?

Internet Service Providers Must Be Forced to Help Music Industry, Says U2's Band ManagerCopyright, Intellectual Property, International September 8th, 2010
SAN FRANCISCO, September 7, 2010 – U2's band manager Paul McGuinness has once again lit up the debate over who and what's responsible for the decline of the music industry. In the August edition of British GQ, McGuinness declares: "I am convinced that ISPs are not going to help the music and film industry voluntarily. Some things have got to come with the force of legislation."

Shown: Band of Color, Ivory and Dark Green
Beautifully carved interlocking wax bows and twists encircle this hand carved candle, and delicate pearl or crystal accents set off the center of each bow. Names and a date can be added at the base of the candle. The candle is approximately 9 1/2 inches tall; matching tapers (with pearl or crystal accents on each) are 12 inches. Individual candles and sets can be customized in many colors and styles. An optional tealight candle insert enables the carved candle to be burned indefinitely without causing damage to the wax.

Because carved candles are custom made at the time of your purchase, it may take 2-3 weeks before they are shipped. Consider selecting priority handling and FedEx 2Day service if you need it sooner. Contact us for a cost quote.
Just received the candle and my wife is very delighted with the outcome. Wonderful job. I would also like to thank you for being able to deliver the candle before our trip to Germany. Packing was perfect. We will keep you in mind for future purchases.

Pearls and Coins- a great frozen treat.
Choking Hazard Response on Frozen Blueberries: Is this a choking hazard? First, I would like to say all foods have the ability to be a choking hazard. After reading comments on other forums where this was shared, I had to add my thoughts. When I made these they were intended for my 3 year old, husband and self (not my 15 month old son). I would be more concerned of in infant handling the skewer than choking on a blueberry. When my 3 year old ate the blueberries- they never came off the skewer whole or in chunks and she has a full set of teeth. She even had to chew them down. If I was going to make this for my 15 month old, I would string the berries on a cooking string and freeze a mini necklace with 3 berries (never tie around neck).
Again, it is all about the parent's comfort level.
- Ripe bananas coined.
- Blueberries
- Your favorite yogurt (I used whole fat vanilla)
- Sprinkles (the definition of sprinkles in our home = flaxseed meal)
- Skewers
- Place banana and berries on skewers.
- Cover in yogurt.
- Put sprinkles on banana.
- Freeze for 1 – 2 hours.
- Eat immediately after they are removed from freezer.
- If you are serving to a child, you may want to cut the sharp end of the skewer off for safety purposes.

Yesterday at the 2006 CFDA Fashion Awards, Lindsay Lohan got as close to Karl Lagerfeld as anyone ever has, giving him an air kiss that saved his foundation. Or maybe it wasn't a kiss at all, but a desperate whisper, "Oh please, Karl, can't I be the face of Chanel? I really am a real actress! I was in a movie with Meryl Streep for Christ's sake!"
Either way, the man is not impressed.
