Kasey Cooper (above) plays third base for the Tigers.
Birmingham, Ala.--Defending SEC Tournament champion Auburn and defending College World Series champion Florida each have three players on the All-SEC Preseason Softball Team that was announced on Thursday.
Emily Carosone, a senior second baseman at Auburn, is on the all-league team along with senior outfielder Tiffany Howard and junior third baseman Kasey Cooper. Each of those Auburn players made All-American teams as the Tigers posted a 56-11 record last season.
Carosone batted a team-high .438 last season, the second best average in Auburn history, while scoring 88 runs, driving home school-record 80 runners and hitting 18 home runs. She was a first team All-SEC selection and first team All-American as a junior.
Emily Carosone prepares to throw to first base after a force out at second vs. Tennessee.
Cooper, who was also All-SEC and a first team All-American last season, was named to Team USA earlier this month. She batted .391 with 18 home runs as 64 home runs as a sophomore and like Carosone is a standout fielder. Cooper is also an Academic All-American.
Howard hit .415 as a junior while leading the Tigers in hits with 86. She scored 72 runs and posted a .525 on-base percentage. She had a streak of 52 consecutive games when she reached base on the way to earning third team All-America honors.
Alabama and LSU each had two players on the All-SEC team while Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee each had one player.
Coach Clint Myers will put his team through a noon scrimmage on Saturday that is open to the public at remodeled Jane B. Moore Field. That starts at 1 p.m. and the season begins on Feb. 11th with a 6 p.m. home game vs. Appalachian State.

Everlasting Swamp should live up to its name with the Baird government announcing the vulnerable wetlands in the state's north will become the state's newest national park.
The government has purchased land near Grafton to expand an existing conservation area to create the Everlasting Swamp National Park and protect one of NSW's largest remaining coastal floodplain wetlands.
"The Everlasting Swamp National Park will be managed for its natural values and with the aim to control pest and weeds as well as improve water quality," Environment Minister Rob Stokes said. "It will also protect breeding habitat for nationally threatened and migratory species listed under international agreements."
The government unveiled the new reserve just as the World Parks Congress gets under way on Wednesday in Sydney. The event, last held by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in Durban in 2003, runs for eight days and aims to promote national parks globally.
Kevin Evans, the chief executive of the National Parks Association, said the new park "was a significant acquisition", expanding an existing conservation area by about 40 per cent. "Any wetland is important when we're looking at global warming."
NSW has lost about 75 per cent of its wetlands since 1788, according to a report this week by the Places We Love alliance of environmental groups.
The government also unveiled plans to add 3000 hectares to the Gwydir Wetlands State Conservation area, west of Moree in the state's north.
The Gwydir wetlands play "an important role in the biological and ecological functioning of the Murray-Darling Basin and provides important habitat when other major wetlands are dry", Mr Stokes said.
Other expansions include 200 hectares to be added to the Doodle Corner Swamp Nature Reserve near Henty in the state's south. Morton National Park will also expand by 65 hectares, while the North Ettrema Wilderness in the Southern Highlands will expand with 252 hectares of old-growth forest added.
Deua National Park, near the south coast, will also expand by 386 hectares so that all of the Reedy Creek catchment, which flows into the Marble Arch, will be protected to conserve important karst formations, the government said in a statement.
About 9 per cent of NSW is protected, well shy of the national average of about 16 per cent, Mr Evans said, adding "We have a long way to go."
Luke Foley, the shadow environment minister, said the additions of about 5000 hectares meant the Coalition government had added about 52,000 hectares to national parks since taking office in 2011, compared with 3.07 million hectares during the previous Labor governments.
"This is disappointing," Mr Foley said. "At this rate, they will take 214 years to do what we achieved in 16 years."

I'm 70 yrs old work inconstuction. Have lived in LODI for 30 yrs
David Mitchell purchased this house in 2001
What a great place to have for all of our family to get together last week. The accommodations were perfect. The house was clean and very comfortable. The weather was great and we were able to enjoy all of the beauty of Lake Wisconsin right from the deck. We would love to do it again. We highly recommend this house - especially for families.
Great place!! We didn't know the place is going to be very nice and comfy. we spent most of the days in the very nice living room talking and playing games with others. Place is right beside a beauty lake and 30 mins drive to devil lake. Totally recommend the place!
Very neat home, cool construction. Great view, and very close to lots of great hiking and Wisconsin Dells activities. The master suite is huge, and the kids enjoyed the big tub. The wrap around porch was unique, and it was nice that there were doors on it so you could close off the stairways to keep little ones inside.
Some disappointments:
-There were webs and bugs everywhere (inside and out), and my son got stung by a bee within 30 minutes of getting there.
-Cleanliness in general was not what I would expect for the price. One of the toilets was very obviously not cleaned, which made me wonder what else wasn't clean.
-Listing said a crib was included, and I questioned it on the phone and was told there was a pack-n-play there. No crib, no pack-n-play.
-There was a disgusting bucket half full of water and cigarette butts outside the porch door. Not what I wanted to look at, and definitely not what I wanted my 1-year-old playing with.
-Took an email, phone call, and 6 weeks to get deposit back.
-Slept 6, no more. Also, dining room seating barely accommodated 6, no more.
A great location and very clean home. Lots to do in the area, we kayaked and boated from this ideal location. Well layed out with spectacular views of lake. Owner great to deal with.
Three couples stayed at this house and it was wonderful. Cabin had plenty of room for our party and was located close to the boat ramp. Lake is great for skiing as there are narrow legs in different parts of the river. The dock was not in when we arrived, but Dave was quick to fix that and put the dock in during the 2nd day of our stay.
Thanks Dave.
My family went for a long family weekend. The house was beautiful. The main floor had plenty of room for all of us to sit around and talk and laugh. The upstairs bedroom were wonderful, especially the master bedroom. The lower level bedroom and bath were a bit cold. The views were fantastic. I would love to stay here again in the summer to take advantage of the lake. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay.

Earth-sized planets are just right for life
THE discovery of extrasolar super-Earths – rocky planets about five to ten times the mass of Earth – has raised hopes that some may harbour life. Perhaps it's a vain hope though, since it now seems that Earth is just the right size to sustain life.
Life is comfortable on Earth in part because of its relatively stable climate and its magnetic field, which deflects cosmic radiation capable of damaging organic molecules as well as producing amazing auroras (see right).
The long-term stability of Earth's climate depends on the way the planet's crust is broken up into plates, which continually slide over and under one another in a process called plate tectonics. Carbon scrubbed from the atmosphere by natural chemical reactions gets buried and recycled within the Earth because of plate tectonics, part of a cycle that stabilises atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
Now it seems rocky worlds have to be about the size of Earth to have both plate tectonics and magnetic fields, says Vlada Stamenkovic of the German Aerospace Center in Berlin. His team will present the work at the European Planetary Science Congress in Potsdam, Germany, on 15 September.
Heat from Earth's core creates the convection currents needed for plate tectonics. Such currents generate the force to tear the crust, produce multiple plates and move those plates around.
Stamenkovic's team found that the pressure and viscosity inside a super-Earth would be so high that a stagnant, insulating layer would form outside the core, weakening the convective currents needed to drive plate tectonics thus making the process unlikely. A 2007 study that concluded super-Earths were prone to plate tectonics did not account for the increase

A SCHOOL caretaker caught with nearly 4,000 indecent images of children lived in a cupboard at work.
Gavin Clark, 41, was arrested after the sickening pictures were found by chance on his laptop in his makeshift home.
The paedophile moved into Eaton primary in Norwich after splitting from his wife.
Of the images, 484 were classified under the most serious categories and 300 showed children under 13.
Clark was yesterday jailed for a year at the city's crown court after admitting possessing indecent images of children.
He was also given a five-year prevention order restricting his use of the internet and digital storage devices.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
1A member of an American Indian people living in Canada along the Ottawa River and its tributaries and westward to the north of Lake Superior.
- 'Soon, Montagnais, Algonquins, Hurons, and French, and how many more, would form a single people.'
- 'His book reported that by 1640 two trade networks competed, one made up of the Algonquin, Huron, and French, and the other consisting of the Oneidas, Dutch, and English.'
- 'Montagnais, Algonkins and Hurons engaged in exchange involving goods, people, and ideas with both kinds of French.'
- 'So I think it was a big step to recognize that a Mohawk is not a Cree, and that a Cree is not an Algonquin.'
- 'The Algonquins had named the territory he lived in Great Water, michi ganni.'
2mass noun The Algonquian language of the Algonquin people, with about 3,000 speakers.
- 'Although he is far better known for his novels, Norman continues to work as a translator from Algonquin and Cree.'
- 'An eighth language of the same subgroup of the Algonquian family, Algonquin, is listed separately, apparently for historical rather than linguistic reasons.'
- 'In the east, Algonquin is the principal means of communication, and spoken by the majority of all ages. In the west, most adults speak Algonquin.'
- 'I didnt speak Algonquin to my children because I wanted them to learn good English so theyll be able to help the reserve.'
- 'Everyone here came from somewhere else, unless your native language is Algonquin.'
- 'The Algonquin/Algonkin are a nation living in southern Quebec and Ontario. They speak Algonquin/Algonkin.'
- 'In the west children prefer the national language, although some may speak Algonquin; most adults speak Algonquin.'
- 'Malick hired a linguist to translate the script and to teach his native actors to speak Algonquin, a language extinct for the past 200 years.'
- 'Algonquin is a musical language that has complicated verbs with many parts.'
- 'And as we were often told, 'Mohawk means cannibal, in Algonquin.''
Relating to the Algonquin people or their language.
- 'Manitou, The Great Spirit, is an Algonquin term, often erroneously applied as spirit monster.'
- 'According to Algonquin legend, Tremblant would receive a violent shaking from the god Manitou if man ever disturbed its natural setting.'
- 'Illiniwek was the name of the loose confederation of Algonquin tribes that once lived in the area.'
- 'Spoken Ojibwa or Ojibwemowin is an Algonquin language with regional dialectical differences.'
- 'And that's in Cree, which comes from the Algonquin language.'
French, contraction of obsolete Algoumequin, from a Micmac word meaning 'at the place of spearing fish and eels'.

CCAD Partnership
In partnership with the Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD), Experience Columbus will welcome waves of reporters and analysts visiting Columbus throughout the election cycle with a mobile media lounge, 23-foot Airstream designed by CCAD students as an office and living space that would appeal to Millennials. May 2016 CCAD graduate, Lauren Rassenfoss, created the graphics to "wrap" the trailer in a way that reflects the vibrancy of the city and CCAD's role as a creative force. Rassenfoss said her design for the wrap was inspired by #lifeincbus image awareness campaign, that she saw in action while visiting Washington, D.C.
The Airstream itself came out of a collaboration between Ohio-based Airstream and a group of CCAD students who worked to design a model for the iconic travel brand that would appeal to young people. Students who worked on the project were part of the CCAD Student Agency, in which students of every discipline - photographers, videographers, illustrators and graphic designers - get paid to create projects used by both CCAD and outside clients. The trailer, nicknamed the Pursuit, features a pop-up desk, bedroom and flexible dinette with convertible lounge seating that doubles as an extra workspace. The project has been so well-received that Airstream has since announced that it is putting the design into commercial production.

The HouseMature
I drove us towards downtown hoping that there would still be some sort of civilized people left, but as we neared we seen that the city was ablaze and delving into madness as the monstrosities ravaged the people all throughout downtown. I released the gas and hit the brakes and stared in horror at the insanity in front of us. I sat there feeling helpless as the creatures destroyed my town, and there was nothing I could do. I heard one of the girls in the back start crying… Anthony just sat there with his mouth hanging wide open in horror.
"Who-"my voice cracked.
Whose house is c- closest?" I asked.
"Mine is." One of the girls squeaked out. She sounded like a scared little mouse.
"Move up front, I need directions there." She made her way up front and sat down in the passenger seat; she looked terrified, but pointed to a street and told me to go that way.
We drove for about ten minutes, the girl giving me directions, no one else talked; we were all too shocked. We were still on the outskirts of the city so most of the area looked grassy and such, except for the huge amount of smoke behind us and the weird red haze of fires still burning. Luckily though there weren't any to very few of the things- Zombies, as Anthony wanted to call them. I thought it was ridiculous but it did fit the things. "This is it" The girl said and pointed to nice medium sized house, with a small barn and a swing set. It didn't look like anyone was home. "No one should be here, mom and dad are working and my two brothers are….. At school…." I knew what she was thinking; they were out there in that madness. "I'm sure they're fine and safe" I tried to say reassuringly. She nodded but didn't look too sure about it. I pulled into the drive and parked in front if the door. I unlocked the car doors and stepped out; Door's probably locked… but why not give it a try? I thought to myself and walked up and tried to open the door. Nope, locked. "Here I have a key" The girl said and walked up, pulling the key out of her pocket and unlocking the door. She opened it and walked inside. I followed close behind noticing the others had decided to stay outside and look around out there. We had gone down a short hallway and she pointed out the door right to our left was a closet so I needn't go in there. "Here is the living room" We emerged into a medium size room with a plush brown couch, a nice looking chair, a small coffee table, and an entertainment system with a gaming console and T.V. "Nice looking place ya got here" I said to her.

"I made this for a dinner party to christen my new dining room furniture. It was fun serving the pull-apart bread to company, and everyone thought it was amazing. I exchanged the thyme for rosemary, because I love rosemary and had no thyme. Someone even said it was the best bread he ever had, which is high praise indeed."

Reviewed Nov. 8, 2009
"Excellent, quick recipe. I really like bubble, pull-apart breads. I used frozen rolls which take 4 hrs to rise at room temp. Next time I may try letting them rise in the fridge and baking them the next day, and see how that works. As a home care nurse, I don't have a lot of time to cook, so I'm always looking for simple, good recipes like this."

Here's another interesting little bit of Cold War history — the M454 AFAP, an atomic artillery shell:
To be precise, what you're looking at is an M455 — the training version of the M454 projectile — on display at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The M454 was the smallest nuclear artillery round that the U.S. Army ever deployed, primarily assigned to M-109 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzers (a fairly standard artillery piece). Its measurements, from the placard:
Length — 2'10" (86.4 cm)
Diameter — 6.1" (15.5 cm)
Weight — 119.5 lbs (54.2 kg)
In service — 1963-1992
The M454 round carried the W48 warhead, a Pu-239 implosion device with a yield equivalent to that of between 72 and 100 tons of TNT (depending on which source you choose to believe). Some 3,000 of them were produced, the last one being decommissioned in 1996.

New Delhi, May 21: Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Tuesday left his audience in splits with his ready wit and lost no opportunity to woo Indians, lending at times personal touches while espousing deeper ties with India.
He not only recalled an earlier trip made by him to India 27 years ago but also quoted Mahatma Gandhi and talked about how Indian songs, dances and yoga were famous in China.
He praised India for the advancement in IT, pharmaceuticals and stressed on the need for India and China to speak in one voice so that the world "will and must listen".
Li started off his address at an event organised by ICWA and FICCI here with a 'Namaste'.
Recalling his earlier trip, the Chinese Premier said "In these 27 years, I haven't had the opportunity to use this (Namaste word)".
"Twenty seven years ago I visited India and I was deeply impressed by India's vast territory, time-honoured civilisation as well as hard-working and talented people," he said adding the fond memories were still fresh in his mind.
Soon after he said this, the sound system went off and made some strange sound for a second or two, leaving everyone amused.
Seizing the opportunity, Li said "so that is a prelude to my remarks," leaving the audience in splits.

(Don't go loco, buy local)
Small jurisdictions in Maine continue to proclaim food sovereignty. It appears that every couple of months, a new locality declares their right to grow their own food while supporting local farmers, artisans, makers of clothes and fishermen. Many of these locavores argue that it is only via food sovereignty and local rule that we can be truly free of corporate and government rule.
As if to predict this healing trend in Maine, psychiatrist Eric Fromm wrote a classic in the middle part of the last century called Escape From Freedom. Could local rule be a return to freedom? Forced to flee from Nazi Germany in 1933, Fromm settled in the United States and lectured at the New School of Social Research, Columbia, Yale, and Bennington. In the late 1930s, Fromm broke with the Institute of Social Research and with Escape from Freedom began publishing a series of books which would win him a large audience. Escape From Freedom argued that alienation from soil and community in the transition from feudalism to capitalism increased insecurity and fear. Documenting some of the strains and crises of individualism, Fromm attempted to explain how alienated individuals would seek gratification and security from social orders such as fascism. (See end of article to read more on Fromm).
To fascism, I would add the consumerism hiding underneath the shirt tales of corporatism, which is nothing less than the old feudal class system re-dressed under a different name. Indeed, I would add all "isms" to corporatism for "isms" are nothing more than ideologies. It appears that people are willing to give up freedom for a false sense of belonging to various fringe groups filled with their respective idealisms such as extreme conservatism, liberalism, scientific and philosophical theoretical positions as well as religious dogmatisms. For example, in the field of counseling, it is often asked, "what theoretical position are you?" This is answered by many a job interviewee with a sense of defensiveness and prideful arrogance regarding being a behaviorist, cognitive psychologist, or humanist. It's as if there is a requirement to fit into some theoretical box. Similarly, in religion we have to be Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, or Pagan. And some of these argue their self-righteousness in the face of a mysterious universe that ultimately doesn't care what philosophical bend you are. The universe really doesn't give a hoot or a damn what you believe for the Absolute Truth is beyond theisms. The Sun shines on your face and the stars sparkle at nights regardless if you are Christian, Jew or Atheist. Even the term a-theist has been manipulated into a belief system held by many whose mindsets are saturated with self-righteous arrogance.
Yet, a-theistic literally means non-theistic. It is to be transcendent of theory AND theism. As the play write Goethe said, "Give them the stone of Sophia (Wisdom) and you'll find philosophy gone and, what's left? The Stone!"
The universe has worked well for several billions of years and has done so without having to believe in any dogmatic "ism". Furthermore, since the Intelligence of this universe is infinite, it really has nothing to be jealous of so it doesn't need for you to drop your illusionary money into a gold collection plate.
Does any of this help you with feeling alienated in our age of computers, televisions, and other mind-numbing contraptions to keep you entertained and mesmerized?
According to psychologists like Abraham Maslow, it appears that human beings want to experience a sense of belonging as their foundations. But are they going to find that sense in a world of theology, philosophy, scientific theory, or political stance? Or are these points of view acting more like mothers and fathers to alienation by dividing this group against that group?
Where do we get our sense of belonging?
There is probably nothing existing that would have brought a prouder smile to Fromm's and Maslow's faces than a meeting on 6/18/12 at the Town Hall of Blue Hill Maine. This meeting may be the beginning for the development of a sense of belonging so desperately needed in this day and age in Blue Hill, the State of Maine and, indeed, all of the world's people. This meeting discussed local food ordinances. How much more basic of a social venue empowering individuals can one get than a determination of food choices?
How will the economy look if more local food ordinances happened throughout the nations? There are several possibilities including:
1. It will encourage people to get all their needs met locally. Perhaps a person who loves to build can thrive in building compost toilets or perhaps someone who loves to knit can create clothes for others while using local materials (e.g., wool from sheep);
2. The goods will be of higher quality. If you loved to knit, how would you feel if the sweater you designed and made fell apart on your neighbor's shoulder the first day she wore it? Furthermore, how would that affect your business and even your friendships?
3. A person's craftsmanship will be advertisement enough, thus your intelligence won't be insulted with blonde, anorexic women and abnormally muscular men trying to entice you into buying beer while engaging you into shop-till-you-drop escapades.
4. There would be full employment with people supporting the community in line with their talents, passions and training.
5. Communities and individuals would be independent in creating their lives in relation to how they saw fit instead of trying to be pigeon holed into a category of work or philosophical/spiritual/theoretical/political philosophy.

ATLANTIC CITY -- So now comes the waiting game for Penn State linebacker Michael Mauti.
The All-American attended the recent NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, where he did his best to try to convince NFL teams that the right ACL tear he sustained last November will not prevent him from being a productive pro player. In fact, though he did not run at the Combine, Mauti insists his surgically repaired knee will be healthy enough to play on during the 2013 season.
Absolutely, Mauti said here, hours before his PSU senior class was scheduled to be honored by the Maxwell Club. I'm running already. It's just a matter of time. There is no doubt in my mind I'll be playing this season.
At the Combine, Mauti's only physical exercise was the bench press. He did 28 reps, which ranked third at his position. But he said the time in Indianapolis was more about letting NFL teams -- he talked to all of them -- know where his rehab stands and the overall health of his knees after three ACL injuries. He came armed with a recent MRI of the right knee, and said the feedback he got was positive.
The interview process went well, the medical process went well, he said. Now I just have to take it day by day until the Draft.
That would be the NFL Draft, which is set for April 25-27. Having met with every team at the Combine, and having already done well in the bench, he will not actively participate in Penn State's upcoming Pro Day March 11.
However, after working out in New Orleans [with teammate and friend Michael Zordich] to prepare for the Combine, Mauti does intend to return to Happy Valley before Pro Day.
I'm just going to head up there to support the guys, he said. And I'll be rehabbing a little bit.
Speaking of the guys, Mauti and 18 of his fellow seniors are here in Atlantic City enjoying themselves. It is a welcomed respite after the scandal-related craziness of their final season and then his race to rehab following the injury.
It's one of the most special honors I've been a part of, especially with the great group of guys we have here, Mauti said. It's been a great trip so far. They've been really hospitable with us and we've had a great time. It's a tremendous honor for us and it's really just a privilege to be here.

If I lived with you/in this house, I would weigh 300/500 pounds. I truly cannot tell you how many times, upon eating my cooking (usually a second or third helping) I have heard this comment from people. It's always one of those two numbers; it's never 400 pounds for some reason...
I was a thin, at times skinny, kid. I remember in fifth grade, standing in the dressing room as Mama cried because the dresses just hung off my slender frame and she could count my ribs. Now, I know that I had the same acid reflux problems with which my oldest has been diagnosed. Plus, it was just the metabolism I had at the time. By high school, I was at my ideal healthy weight. I gained the Freshman pounds in college, but still was at a great weight and I never had to diet or make a point to exercise.
A year after Joey and I were married, we moved to Texas from Louisiana. Joey came to attend graduate school--British History--and I was blessed to get a job teaching sixth grade. My principal was the president of the state middle school association and he made a phone call to a colleague in Texas. I interviewed over the phone the next day and was told I had the job the day after the interview. The two districts in this community can be difficult to break into, so I was very thankful that he had connections.
In October, I was outside on lunch duty when I stepped in a hole and twisted my--well--my whole body. There was work being done and the hole had been left in the playground. As the next two months progressed, I began to have trouble with my back. This was a repeat of problems I had a few years earlier, when I was in college. By the time December came around, I was unable to stand upright and I had to be driven to and from work because I had no feeling in my right foot. It was very painful to sit, as the pain would shoot up my leg. I was seeing a neurosurgeon, on the advice of our school receptionist. She had back problems years before and she advised me not to waste time with chiropractors or orthopedists as she had done. She told me to go straight to a neurosurgeon. I am forever grateful to her for that advice. The doctor followed protocol and did everything non-surgical first. By December, he decided that we needed to do an MRI. I had the MRI done the first Monday of Christmas break. I knew something showed up because the technician asked me how long I'd been like this. We took the films right over to the doctor's office and he walked in and said, "I honestly don't know how you walked into the office. What is your insurance? I don't even care; I have a space open in surgery tomorrow and I'm going to operate on you." By the way, they compared my fall in October to picking at a scab and getting an infection. The problem already existed; this just aggravated it and I filed no claims against the district. I am strongly opposed to lawsuits unless absolutely necessary.
It's actually rather nice to have only one evening to prepare and think about a major surgery. You have less time to worry. Plus, the doctor told me it would relieve my pain and I was ready to do anything to stop the constant pain. It's not easy to teach middle schoolers when you can't even stand up straight. So, the next day, he removed the lower two discs from my back. They had ruptured and he said he had never removed such tiny pieces before. Joey and my mom were terrified when they saw me after the surgery. You are face down, with your head in a brace of sorts, so your face apparently is extremely swollen and red when you come out of surgery.
I was in the hospital three days and two nights and I was not prepared for post-surgery pain. I had grown up hearing the story of when my dad had his gall bladder removed in the 1970s. The doctor on call came into his hospital room the next day and Daddy was doing exercises. The doctor looked around for the patient and sent Daddy home. I was raised to be a lady, but not a sissy, so I fully expected to bound out of the bed and dazzle my physical therapists. I could not even get out of bed the first time they showed up and since that's normal, they didn't make me. My dad felt so guilty because I made a comment about how I really tried and I figured I would be like him. He said it wasn't the same kind of surgery. The next day, they were able to help me walk with assistance.
I was sent home on Christmas Eve and those first days were a blur of naps, wrapping paper, Christmas dinner in black trays from Denny's, and dear Joey helping me with everything. I mean every little task. We had only been married two years and if we hadn't fully bonded before that, we did then.
I was on pain killers and muscle relaxers. I have my babies without epidurals, on a pitosin drip, so I have a high pain tolerance; I was able to drop the pain killers, but the muscle relaxers were necessary for a while. I would just suddenly go into spasms and fall down if I couldn't grab something. I actually continued to do that for several years, although the frequency grew to every few months, rather than several times a day. I had never experienced a loss of control of any part of my body before and it was very upsetting, to say the least. The doctor told me the surgery was successful, but I would always have to be careful and there were just things I would never be able to do. I grew up on a farm and was expected to do my fair share of the work and I had to adjust to asking for help or standing by and watching others completely do things for me. I still make apologies for not helping and I still feel guilty for not jumping in to do my share of a task. We had to hire a painter in our new house for the living, dining, and kitchen areas and I am embarrassed to tell people. Laziness was a great sin in our house, to be despised greatly, and I felt undue guilt for having to take things easier. I also had to change my teaching style. Before, I was all over the classroom and my desk was just a storage area. It's easier to maintain classroom structure with middle school students when you never sit down.
As a new employee in the district, I had not earned all my sick days yet. It was a blessing that I had the two weeks of Christmas break for surgery and recovery, but the doctor wanted me to take more time off. We were living on my teaching salary until Joey's first graduate assistant check would begin in January, so I had to go back to work after being docked for time after the break.
To survive, Joey and I ate convenience foods. I wasn't physically able to do much cooking after work and Joey didn't have time with his grueling class load. The pounds started pack on for both of us. We dated and were married in south Louisiana, the food capital of the world (even better than New Orleans) and I had added about ten extra pounds which made me heavier than the weight I had always maintained in high school and college, but still put me in my healthy range. After my surgery, though, the pounds seemed to grow exponentially. I was doing rehabilitation-type exercises and walking, but neither was at a pace or style for weight loss. I had to alternate between standing and sitting every 15 minutes (I'm technically still supposed to follow this) and at home lying on my side was the most comfortable. I started staying up late because sleeping was so uncomfortable I just tried to put it off as long as possible. I had a medical excuse to wear tennis shoes to work and I remember the first year after my back surgery, I knew I had hit rock bottom when I realized I was teaching sixth graders while wearing a sweatsuit and tennis shoes. Before and after that time, I took great pains to dress professionally, so this was a major change for me.
Joey and I had enough of our weight gain, so in February 2000, we began dieting and exercising. We discovered Richard Simmons (I know, I know...) and his Food Mover program. We did not use his videos, but we used the program which counts diabetic exchanges. By December, I lost 75 lbs. and by Feb., the last remaining ten came off for a total of 85 lbs. I was back to my normal weight, I was buying jeans in the junior section and I felt great. It was so easy and I truly believe it was because God wanted the distraction of my weight gain out of the way so He could do the real spiritual work that needed to be done!
I maintained my weight and after Emmeline was born in 2003, I began to slowly loose the baby weight. By September 2004, I was starting to fit back into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes and then Mama died. I realize I'm an emotional eater and so many of my associations with food are tied to Mama and time spent with her. Recreating her recipes and cooking like her was a way to feel close to her. It still is. When I became pregnant with Clare in 2005, I was overweight and after she was born, very few pounds came off. I had started to lose ten pounds when I found out I was pregnant with Thomas in 2008. After Thomas was born, I started to lose and by the time he was six months old, I had lost twenty-five pounds. I remember seeing someone in the store and she had to do a double-take. Then, we had to put my parents' homes on the market and I finally had to finish cleaning out my parents' last home. I had to make those last visits and close the door on those places, knowing they would never be mine to visit again. We also decided to start looking at houses and start packing our home to move. So, it was chaos all around us for several months. I gained back the twenty-five pounds and decided it was time to do something. So, I joined the gym and got a personal trainer. I just can't take a chance on injuring my back so I need supervision. It gets expensive, though, so now I'm on my own, with all she taught me.
It's difficult to get to the gym, but Joey and I are hoping to work on our schedule this summer so it will be better in the fall. I am trying to eat better, but I will not eat sugar and fat substitutes that are created in labs, so I need to control portions on real food. It gets more difficult to lose weight after babies and as we approach forty. Also, I have health issues that affect metabolism, so I have to work harder at losing weight.
It's also difficult to lose weight when you love to cook and when you're not half bad at it. Baking is my "me-time," like other women have facials, pedicures, coffee shops and bookstore lounging. I can just make a homemade pie or cake from scratch. I can have fluffy, layered buttermilk biscuits made and on the table in fifteen minutes. I make cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls from scratch. And I'm not called "The Pie Lady" for nothing. There is something so lovely about making pie. Noticing a starch pattern? I take after Mama in my love of starchy foods, although I draw the line at eating raw yeast dough.
I still cook healthier than Mama, though. She was an amazing cook. She took her midwest farm roots and combined it with what she learned in Louisiana which made for a delicious combination. She was a great fryer. We had fried foods several times a week. You know that white stuff you get in a plastic cup with your chicken strips? Yeah, my mom made real milk gravy, with the meat drippings from chicken fried steak and fried pork chops and the best of all--her homemade fried chicken. You haven't had milk gravy until you've had REAL milk gravy. Of course, hers was healthier than Grandma's because Grandma used fresh milk from the farm and Mama used store-bought milk which in later years had gotten as low as 1% or skim. I rarely fry, although I make good chicken strips (the secret is three-step breading and buttermilk), fried chicken, and chicken-fried steaks. I only make those things once or twice a year. I just can't eat fried foods often with my ulcerative colitis and since I've had my gall bladder removed. Plus, I don't like the mess and smell of frying. I actually cook healthy meals and feed my children a healthy diet. Then during naptime or after bedtime, I take just another "sliver" off the pie or cake. I grab a handful of chocolate chips here, a few Wheat Thins there, etc, etc... Let's not even mention chocolate chip cookies or Blue Bell ice cream (which I haven't been able to really eat until recent years due to reflux).
So, here I sit, rambling about food, memories, cooking, when what it all boils down to is discipline (and therefore self-control) and balance. Right now, food is out of balance in my life and when one major area is out of balance it can affect all the other areas of your life. No one can maintain perfect order and balance, but one look at me tells you food is seriously out of balance for me. Part of me honestly just wants to resign myself to being overweight. I could have a locket made with a Before picture and show it to people. "See, this is how I could look if I wanted." The funny thing is I don't think of myself as obese. I'm not sitting around miserable about my weight. I'm not a petite person and extra pounds sneak up on me. It's still shocking sometimes to look in the mirror.
I know that God loves me too much to see me stay this way. There are two real problems with my weight and neither of them involve my appearance. One, I am only a few years shy of forty and I have three children ranging in age from 7 to 2. I don't want them to deal with cleaning out houses and nursing homes any earlier than they have to, and hopefully, not at all. I have an obligation to my children to get healthy. Second, I'm Catholic. I receive my precious Savior, Jesus, in the most Blessed Sacrament and therefore, my body is a temple. It is wrong not to care for it to the best of my ability.
So, please add me to your prayer list as I seek to control portions and seek solace in Christ, not in the refrigerator or pantry.

Virginia's Fierce For The Night brings the heart house needs
Caught in the shadow of lost idols and shaken faith, pop is wanting some new soul. Now, Ostgut Ton might be the last place you'd expect to look for one of 2016's great songwriting fixes. ("Singing along" and "Berghain" tend not to be uttered together.) And yet, here we are. Virginia, the Panorama Bar resident, as a new record. And it's an utter triumph.

Ninja Tune – and, crucially, founder Matt Black of Coldcut – are going to mobile platforms with an app that does far more than simple remixing. It can let you radically transform some of Ninja's artists, even going in a direction that might be considered instrumentalism. CDM contributor Matt Earp has been quiet in these parts …

I mentioned this in my latest video - and thought I would share it in a blogpost too! This is my favourite song (if you can call it that) of all time - purely because of the words.
The words originally came from a lady called Mary Schmich in 1997 who wrote a column imagining what advice she would give to graduates at a graduation ceremony. Please watch this video or read the words and really listen to them. I remember the first time I heard it in 1999 - over ten years ago on Now 43 ( I believe these albums are still going lol) I was sat in my best friend Karens living room - it was the year when we had first met each other, and we just sat and listened to every word. I love it as much now if not more than I did then; and I often listen to it just to reassure myself with these wise words.
Enjoy... Just press play, and scroll down reading the words :)
Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97:
Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

Remember Me?
After a weekend of Dissertation Writing *yadda yadda* I fancied a bit of light relief, what better way than updating my blog?
I thought I'd brighten up my evening by sharing a few things that I'm loving at the minute :)
My hair colour of choice at the moment - Loreal Casting Creme Gloss in 713 Iced Latte.
This is akin to my natural; hair colour and covers nicely until I've managed to grow all of my bleached locks out! Can I also just note that after not being blonde for months now I can safely say I wont be returning to peroxide again. At first I longed to be blonde again but after the initial "I hate my hair" phase I really love my natural colour - most will say I look better blonde - hell maybe I would agree with them, but its just not worth the time money and damage :) Natural Locks For the Win!!
Marina and The Diamonds - The Family Jewels
This is possibly up there with my favourite albums and I've only had it a day! I know!! For me this album ticks all of the boxes, the lyrics are beautiful, the songs are very catchy and perfect sing a long material. I highly recommend you grab this album! Particular favourites are Are you Satisfied, I am not a Robot, Obsessions, Hollywood, Mowglies Road, Oh No... Yeah pretty much the entire album haha!
Bourjois 10 hour Sleep Effect Foundation
I've been using this foundation for a few weeks now after seeing Bubblegarm wearing it on her blog. I really like the effect this foundations gives on the skin, granted its not full coverage but I fancied something a little bit lighter after wearing Revlon Colorstay for months. I'm looking forward to trying the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation which I intend on picking up on payday ;)
I'm also adoring fashion and photography blogs of late a couple of my favourites are Dont Dance Naked and Hello Nikki - I'm hoping to get a DSLR for my birthday next week so I can start taking pretty pictures of my own :)
Hope you've had a great weekend!
Muchos Love xoxo

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Hope you are all well!
Muchos Love Amigos! xoxo

At the beginning of October, I met a couple of the folks who were in their first week of occupying McPherson Square, located along the corporate lobbying corridor of K Street in my hometown of DC. They were determined to stay and spread a message about income inequality, crony capitalism, and the wrong direction our government was headed.
They stayed and they multiplied. At the time I was attending The Stop Machine multi-day rally at Freedom Plaza. I had earlier been associated with helping to organize this older, more strictly anti-war mobilization, but I had withdrawn from the steering committee both because of constraints on my time (busy work days and moving to a new apartment with my dog) and disagreements with the organizing style of others involved. I fell in love with Occupy DC at McPherson Square and even as I attended Stop the Machine at Freedom Plaza, I became even more disenchanted with them.
The second week in October my college buddy Matt and I spent a week touring Arizona. It was the first time I had ever been in the Southwest. I was not expecting much for either occupation when I returned. But I remember listening to the radio in the rental car in amazement -- as occupies were popping up all over the country, including one in Phoenix.
When I returned to DC. The Occupy DC/K Street was easily five times the size it was when I had left town. I remember emerging from the McPherson Square Metro station and being filled with joy when I saw 75% of the park filled with tents. It was indeed a mostly under 35 crowd and they were full of energy and sincere hope.
Freedom Plaza seemed to maintain a somewhat smaller size, but nothing minuscule by any means. However, they had a more formal leadership structure than McPherson, which really had no leaders. Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers who had played crucial roles in the Stop Machine steering committee retained much power over finances and the setting of the initial agenda (a rather large set of policy demands and principles).
Over the next couple weeks, McPherson seemed to be doing more actions than Freedom Plaza. One focus was clearly the banks, directly following the lead from Occupy Wall Street (which had captured the nation's attention while hunkering down in Zuccotti -- I and a couple friends visited it the day the famous march to the Brooklyn Bridge resulted in approximately 700 arrests). Another focus was the enormous influence the K Street corporate lobbyists have over the government.
A march to the Washington Convention Center, where the villainous Koch brothers were hunkered down with right wing pundits and politicians (including a couple presidential candidates), was a powerful action I attended. We were able to block all the intersections surrounding the convention center, and even block the parking garage. This was fantastic, despite some rather overly-aggressive tactics at the convention center's doors and an unfortunate hit-and-run which probably could have been avoided. I witnessed at least one argument between protesters and car drivers trying to get home who had absolutely nothing to do with the Koch bothers' party.
In contrast, the Freedom Plaza folks seemed to be a bit more passive. And, yes, certainly older. These differences persist to this day, even through the Park Police's semi-eviction of both occupies.While the younger folks lack experience and sometimes get into rather unnecessary and unfortunate confrontations with the police (hint: let the police initiate physical contact, otherwise it will likely be a felony), the Freedom Plaza folks are too easy to accommodate the authorities. This accommodation is most clearly expressed through permits it has acquired (and extended) to have a rally. McPherson, much more akin to other occupies, has never had a permit and apparently never will.
In recent weeks, Kevin and Margaret were politely asked to start handing over the reigns to folks who have been living 24/7 at Freedom Plaza. There is still a rather close working relationship but the dynamic has changed, as the pair has leased two houses where a few activists, including themselves, live at this point. Kevin has oddly called living in a house "an encampment," and thus clearly part of the Occupy movement. Many in McPherson disagree. One of the two houses is the former Peace House on 12th Street NW.
Although the Park Police's violent crackdown on occupiers this past weekend in McPherson has dissuaded people from actually sleeping there, it did attract some newcommers and general assemblies continue to be held every night. This younger set has also experienced some arrests for nonviolent civil resistance (most notably the OccuBarn, blocking K Street during a large march, and the most recent day of eviction), many continue to be very determined to stay with the movement until the political-economic-social climate in this nation improves.
Freedom Plaza, which was initiated by many old-time anti-war folks has quickly adopted much of the language of the Occupy movement. However, it continues to be a slightly different phenomenon with still a very heavy emphasis on anti-war themes (Veterans for Peace still playing a huge role), and the generational gap between the two occupies is startling. It still seems a little awkward that these folks have clung onto Occupy, but perhaps they will begin to fit in if they truly have eschewed leadership structures and operate in a much more horizontal fashion, which is a hallmark of Occupy.
Although I know there are no official leaders of Occupy DC -- I do want to give a shout out to some great folks who have stepped up to the plate -- my sincere thanks to them for the hard work in creating a better future:
Adrian P. -- Thank you for the hard work and sacrifice for my hometown's dignity and rights.
Ali S. -- Come back we need you!
Caty M. -- You rock the facilitation scene!
Drew V. -- Great thinker, great organizer.
Marc S. -- You show up everywhere and you usually do so while live-streaming!
R.B. Lash -- I love you man, and I think a lot of folks love you!
Ricky L. -- Same as Caty,
Sam J. -- The media man, the message man.
