We purchased this to bring our daughter's stuff back from college. The carrier was easy to use and we love that it folds up so nicely. It is also great because if you have a smaller amount of stuff it straps down nicely and creates less drag. Great quality construction and much cheaper than the traditional carriers.

Gene Simmons Shares Advice From His New Personal Finance Book, 'Me, Inc.'
Love him or hate him, Kiss co-founder Gene Simmons understands how to make a lot of money, and he's sharing a few pointers on the subject in his new book, 'Me, Inc: Build an Army of One, Unleash Your Inner Rock God, Win in Life and Business.'
Simmons stopped by Yahoo! Finance to discuss the book recently, and during the segment (which you can watch above), he admitted that quite a bit of his advice boils down to the old saying "fake it 'til you make it." "It's very practical," he pointed out. "Take a lesson from Mother Nature: If a predator comes on you, and you're scared to death, obviously, because you — it's a 10-foot-tall bear. What are we taught? You're scared to death … Make yourself as big as possible. Fake it. Stand up tall, and you know, that sense — if you don't feel it, if it's not sort of your inherent nature to be big and bold, fake it. Because there are better-looking people around who have great self-confidence, and have no problem stepping up. Opportunity is not going to come to you; you're going to have to come to it."
'Me, Inc.' also includes a chapter devoted to the necessity of learning to speak English, and some of his comments in this interview echo statements he made on that subject earlier in the year. But he also had a few words of wisdom for women, urging them not to date younger men who probably can't afford to get married — and he expanded on those thoughts during a separate visit to Fox News, saying, "Women: Stop depending on men. It's as simple as that. Imagine there are no men in life. Find out that thing that you're good for that makes the money and then get married and or have children from a position of strength."
Telling his Yahoo! Finance host that the Kiss brand is valued in the billions, Simmons didn't deny that he's out trying to sell books, but he stressed that 'Me, Inc.' is about more than making money for him; more importantly, he wants to offer financial tools that, in his view, too few people have. "School does not prepare you in the least [for] how to make a living," he insisted. "It is incumbent upon you to get up off your high horse, stop watching 'Oprah' reruns, and do something with your life."

Just a few days ago, I wrote this on Huffington Post: Miss Tectomy: How Losing My Breasts Made Me Feel Beautiful
Since then, I have read hundreds of comments… received private messages… and heard others' personal stories. But there's one message I got this morning that is a perfect example of why I expose (literally and figuratively) my story, hoping my experience can possibly help others.
"I only met you once and you told me your story. In April, my mom called and told me she had a bad mammogram, and a week later, she found out it was cancer. The doctor suggested a lumpectomy which may, or may not, require chemo and radiation. She asked me what I would do.
I had been thinking about it non stop since she told me about the mammogram. I told her I would get rid of them, take them off and throw a party. She was silent for a couple of seconds and said, "Yes, that is what I want to do." I worried that I gave her a bad idea, I worried she wouldn't survive the surgery.
She did make it through. And she was told a week later that the other breast, the one that did not show up on a mammogram, had a different cancer. Her doctor said it was the most aggressive, difficult-to-treat cancer a woman can get. He told her she did not have to have any chemo or radiation.
I believe, had I not have met you, I would not have told my mom what I did and I doubt she would have made the decision she did. So not only do I thank you, but I think Miss Tectomy should become the new pink ribbon."
THIS, my friends, makes posing topless so worthwhile. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.

Distribution and Geographic Variation in the Western Woolly Lemur (Avahi occidentalis) with Description of a New Species (A. unicolor
- Citations
- 134 Downloads
The western woolly lemur is distributed through central western, northwestern and possibly northern Madagascar and is traditionally viewed as a monotypic species (Avahi occidentalis) or as a subspecies of A. laniger. We present new data on body weights of Avahi which, together with previously available body weights, provide additional evidence for recognizing eastern and western woolly lemurs as two distinct species. We then reexamine the distributions of, and chromatic variation within and between, populations of western woolly lemurs. A comparative study of wild subjects and museum skins reveals that several geographically discrete morphs exist in western Avahi, which is clearly polytypic. Marked differences between populations in fur coloration suggest that ≥3 distinct taxa should be recognized. The populations differ considerably in their habitat structure. In addition, field observations suggest clear differences in population density between ≥2 of the populations. We describe and name one new species.

Chanel launches XS version of J12 watch
Chanel is going even smaller with its new version of the J12 ceramic watch, launching an XS model.
The new wrist piece will measure at just 19 millimetres in diameter, echoing the name J12 XS which is a word play on 'extra-small' and 'excess'.
The J12 XS is the latest update of the iconic watch, which was launched in 1999 by Chanel's late artistic director Jacques Helleu and also includes the J12-G10 timepiece.
It will come in four versions, starting with a black or white version with a slim, patent leather calfskin strap. This can be worn on its own or over a matching calfskin cuff with a silver lining, retailing at $4,975 (£3,742).
Another design is paired with black, lambskin fingerless gloves by Causse boutique. Just 150 pieces will be made available priced at $7,550 (£5677) a pair. The gloves are a nod to Chanel's creative director Karl Lagerfeld, famed for his love of the accessory.
Also available is a chunky cuff design, with six slim leather straps mounted with the watch dial and steel loops boasting diamonds. High jewellery designs such as a novelty ring, with the pieces priced between $10,000 (£7,520) and $105,000 (£78,946), will also be available to buy.
French embroidery company Lesage, which already works on some of Chanel's watches, provides inspiration for the final option. Lesage's hand-decorated cuffs for the J12 XS, complete with glass beads and sequins, give the illusion of alligator, python and shagreen. A snip at $38,000 (£28,571) each.
Chanel first unveiled the pieces on last month (Jul16) in New York and next up the brand has a presentation in South Korea on Thursday (04Aug16), followed by stops in Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
The watches will be available in stores from the end of this month (Aug16).

FARNBOROUGH Sixth Form College is bursting at the seams after attracting a record number of students.
More youngsters than ever want to attend the college which was rated the best in the country by Government inspectors last March.
By last week a record 1,850 students had enrolled to study there in the new academic year which is just starting.
To help accommodate them, the college has been given the go-ahead to put four temporary single-storey classrooms in the grounds.
Rushmoor C`````````ouncil planners were told: "The classrooms are needed because of a dramatic increase in enrolment figures following the well recognised success of the college."
Other factors were the area's population increase and Government pressure to get more 16-19-year-olds into further education.
The temporary classrooms are likely to stay in place for two years, by which time the college hopes a permanent classroom block will have been built.
News of the college's popularity follows the recent A-level results which saw its students achieve a best ever pass rate of 98 per cent
Dr. John Guy, college principal, said last Friday: "The college is delighted to have received national recognition, and it's no surprise that as a consequence students wish to come here."
As a result, he continued, more space was needed to accommodate the record number. "We don't want to cram them into every nook and cranny," he said.
The four temporary classrooms will provide space for an additional 72 students.

Quartz rods could provide instant bomb detector
A CHEAP artificial nose promises to make it much easier to detect the explosive triacetone triperoxide. The device could be installed in the doorways of buses, trains and airports to sound an alarm if someone carrying TATP crosses the threshold.
Attention started to focus on TATP following its use in the 7 July 2005 bus and tube bombings in London, and the attacks on trains the previous year in Madrid, Spain. The explosive can be made using easily obtainable domestic chemicals and has explosive power similar to TNT.
But TATP's high vapour pressure at ambient temperatures makes it hard to hide, says Siegfried Waldvogel, an organic chemist at the University of Bonn, Germany. The vapour diffuses through materials such as plastic bags and into the surrounding air, but the current method for detecting it is time-consuming, as air samples have to be sent to a lab for tests.
That could be about to change. Waldvogel and his colleagues have developed a cheap detector that responds instantly to TATP in the atmosphere (Sensors and Actuators B, DOI: 10.1016/j.snb.2009.09.061). At its heart are three quartz rods, each 3 millimetres long and 40 micrometres wide, which are made to vibrate by applying an alternating voltage. Any TATP in the air bonds to chemicals coating the rods, causing their resonant frequency to change. Each rod is coated with a different chemical – a phenylene dendrimer, a cyclodextrin and sodium cholate – and each changes its rod's resonant frequency in a different way. It is the combination of three changes that reveals TATP's presence.
In the presence of the explosive, the quartz crystals' resonant frequency changes

Alongside a practice based educator, you will be required to develop a learning contract to identify learning outcomes for your placement, which you will be assessed on.
Research 2
This module provides the opportunity for you to build on your knowledge of research that you studied in Year 1 and prepare you to undertake an area of research in Year 3. You will learn about and be assessed on data collection and analysis in relation to methods which are currently used in research and evaluation of practice, through coursework involving a work book. This includes quantitative and qualitative research, systematic reviews and audits. In addition you will work in multi professional groups to produce coursework involving a research proposal, which you will carry out in Year 3. This will be assessed on a pass/fail basis (which must be passed to successfully complete this module).
Year 3: core modules
Consolidating Occupational Therapy Practice
You will have the opportunity to further develop your understanding of the theories, principles and concepts, which influence current practice within Occupational Therapy. Using case studies, you will required to adopt an enquiry based, critical evaluation of the theoretical and practical approaches to working with individuals, groups, communities and populations. You will demonstrate your ability to apply occupational therapy intervention to a selected case study through your coursework involving a presentation.
Practice Based Experience 3
You will have the opportunity to work with increasing independence by learning how to manage your time and prioritise your work load during an eight week placement within the NHS, social care or non-traditional settings. You will encounter clients with complex and challenging needs and contribute to the management of the service, working effectively as part of a team. Alongside a practice based educator, you will be required to develop a learning contract to identify learning outcomes for your placement, during which you will be assessed on your performance.
Research 3
This is a multi-disciplinary module which follows on from Research 2. You will undertake a small scale research project in a multi-professional group, which could consist of a combination of nursing, midwifery, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, operating department practice, or podiatry students. Based on this research project you will produce two pieces of coursework, a report written in a style suitable for publication and a group presentation at the Interdisciplinary Student Research Conference.
Widening Occupational Therapy Practice
This module involves focusing in-depth on an area of occupational therapy in a variety of contexts such as health, social care and third sector. Through lectures and workshops you will have the chance to gain the skills required to evaluate an area of occupational therapy and develop a proposal for enhancing the service. You will use and evaluate these skills whilst undertaking an assessed practice placement experience in a service area, which must be passed to successfully complete the module. You will also be assessed through coursework involving a report and service development proposal based on your practical experience and a reflective commentary on the development of your skills through your experiences of the project undertaken.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
All Product Details
Penzler, BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES series editor, and Hillerman, whose Leaphorn/Chee novels have won him multiple Edgar Awards and millions of devotees, winnowed this select group out of a thousand stories, drawing on sources as diverse as ELLERY QUEEN'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE and ESQUIRE, COLLIER'S and THE NEW YORKER. Giants of the genre abound -- Raymond Chandler, Stephen King, Dashiell Hammett, Lawrence Block, Ellery Queen, Sara Paretsky, and others -- but the editors also unearthed gems by luminaries rarely found in suspense anthologies: William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, Damon Runyon, Harlan Ellison, James Thurber, and Joyce Carol Oates. Mystery buffs and newcomers alike will delight in the thrilling stories and top-notch writing of a hundred years' worth of the finest suspense, crime, and mystery writing.
and#8220;Surprisingly, 20 of the 39 well-chosen stories published between 1923 and 2007 in this impressive crime anthology date to the last two decades, which may sound counterintuitive to casual readers who associate noir with the 1940s and 1950s. All the contributors excel at showing the omnipresence of the dark side of humanity in many different times and locales. In addition to names synonymous with noir such as Cornell Woolrich and Jim Thompson, Ellroy (Bloodand#8217;s a Rover) and Penzler (The Best American Mystery Stories) offer depressing fare from writers better known for other work, like David Morrell, whose first published story, and#8220;The Dripping,and#8221; about the disappearance of a manand#8217;s wife and daughter, is one of the bookand#8217;s best. Lesser-known authors also distinguish themselves, like Christopher Coake, whose reverse chronology in and#8216;All Through the Houseand#8221; serves to heighten the suspense rather than dissipate it. (Oct.)and#8221;
---Publishers Weekly, STARRED
"This generous, flavorful collection of noir-tinged tales comes cherry-picked by Ellroy and Penzler, who exclude Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler as authors of "private detective stories." Most of the 39 tales here appeared originally in magazines, not only in pulps like Manhunt and Black Mask but also in the more literary American Mercury, Southern Review, and Omni. Each story is introduced with a brief author biography. These pay respect to the careers of these professional scribblers, who managed (with the aid of multiple pseudonyms) to keep body and soul together writing and writing still more. The collection opens with Tod Robbins's "Spurs" (1923), a beauty-and-the-beast tale that questions which is which; it was the basis for Tod Browning's chilling movie Freaks. The collection closes with Lorenzo Carcaterra's "Missing the Morning Bus" (2007), in which, amid half-emptied bowls of peanuts and salsa, Death takes a seat at a weekly card game. In between come memorable but lesser-known tales by, among others, Dorothy B. Hughes, Jim Thompson, Cornell Woolrich, Patricia Highsmith, and Bradford Morrow. Verdict Rooting around in the rich soil amassed by almost a century of noir, Ellroy and Penzler unearth dark, pungent, and flavorful truffles that will satisfy fans and may well whet the appetites of new readers." and#8212;Library Journal
"This anthology is a cornerstone volume for any mystery library." Publishers Weekly
James Ellroy is the author of the Underworld U.S.A. trilogy American Tabloid, The Cold Six Thousand, and Blood s a Rover and the L.A. Quartet novels, The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, and White Jazz. His most recent book is The Hillicker Curse, a memoir. Otto Penzler is the founder of the Mysterious Bookshop and Mysterious Press, has won two Edgar Allan Poe Awards (most recently for The Lineup), and is series editor of The Best American Mystery Stories. "
In his introduction to the The Best American Noir of the Century, James Ellroy writes, and#8220;noir is the most scrutinized offshoot of the hard-boiled school of fiction. Itand#8217;s the long drop off the short pier and the wrong man and the wrong woman in perfect misalliance. Itand#8217;s the nightmare of flawed souls with big dreams and the precise how and why of the all-time sure thing that goes bad.and#8221; Offering the best examples of literary sure things gone bad, this collection ensures that nowhere else can readers find a darker, more thorough distillation of American noir fiction.
James Ellroy and Otto Penzler, series editor of the annual The Best American Mystery Stories, mined one hundred years of writingand#8212;1910and#8211;2010and#8212;to find this treasure trove of thirty-nine stories. From noirand#8217;s twenties-era infancy come gems like James M. Cainand#8217;s and#8220;Pastorale,and#8221; and its post-war heyday boasts giants like Mickey Spillane and Evan Hunter. Packing an undeniable punch, diverse contemporary incarnations include Elmore Leonard, Patricia Highsmith, Joyce Carol Oates, Dennis Lehane, and William Gay, with many page-turners appearing in the last decade.
James Ellroy was born in Los Angeles in 1948.andnbsp;His L.A. Quartet novelsand#8212;The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, and White Jazzand#8212;were international bestsellers.andnbsp;His most recent book is Bloodand#8217;sandnbsp;a Rover.

Luke Riley is used to being on the bottom end of things, but this time around on Circle Jerk Boys this sexy, bearded stud will be driving. I loved Rocco the minute I laid eyes on him. I love dark-haired men and tattoos, and Rocco is covered in ink. As the guys get busy on the couch, Luke shoves as much of his dick up into Rocco's mouth as he can. Rocco climbs on top on Luke and the two guys 69. Rocco loves sucking dick, but he really wants to get his ass slammed. So he gets down on all fours and offers up his shaved smooth fuck hole. And Luke starts inching his 8-inch cock into Rocco's juicy hole. As Luke drives his fuck stick into his buddy's hole his balls slap against Rocco's smooth ass. Then Luke sits back in a chair and lets Rocco go for a ride. But the finale is pretty fucking hot: Covered in sweat, Rocco is lying back with his legs in the air, Luke is drilling his hole hard when Rocco spews all over his smooth belly. Then Luke pulls out and jerks off a furious load adding to Rocco's pool of spunk. Then guys are exhausted.

|Please note: This article is about the samurai-ko. For other uses of the term, please see Akiko (disambiguation).
Shiba Akiko was a samurai-ko of the Phoenix Clan.
Failed Courtier Edit
Akiko was an optimistic woman of good nature. Her charming and outgoing demeanor allowed Akiko to join the Asako Loremaster school, where she expected to thrive as a courtier. However, the idealism of youth had taken a firm hold on Akiko's soul, and insisted on speaking out at moments that was necessary to keep silent because it was impolite. She also confronted those who attempted to manipulate or make distortions of law and etiquette. After one year of schooling, Akiko was sent back to her family to be trained in the Shiba Bushi school. [1]
Station Edit
Akiko was appointed to Kyuden Kurogane-Hana as a yojimbo to an Asako diplomat, Asako Nishi. She fell in love with her charge, but kept her emotions in check as he was married. [2]

My Favorite Zoo Animals By: Zachery Dietz I think that tigers are the coolest animal, especially the white tiger.
The white tiger is somewhat bigger than their normal orange and black cousin's and the only reason that they are white is because they inherited the white gene. Gorilla's are another cool animal just because of the fact that they are so big and they are so strong. A male adult gorilla can weigh from 350 to about 440 pounds. They can lift about 2 tons over their head. Thank you for watching my Prezi. One of the other zoo animals that are my favorite is the elephant. It is the largest land- living animal on Earth today. The biggest one was a male that was from toe to shoulder 13 feet in height and weighed 24,000 pounds and was shot in 1974. The oldest recorded elephant was 82 years old and they usually live to about 50 to 70 years old. The gorilla is more closely related to humans, than chimpanzees, because of the fact that you can trace the beginnings of the apes back to were the gorillas and humans split into what they are today. This is a funny video of a child taunting a full grown grizzly bear and it wanting to eat him at the zoo.

— The following originally appeared in the July 2014 issue of Canoe & Kayak.
By Dave Shively
A new perspective can make all the difference.
When a chance helicopter flight took Ben Stookesberry over Nepal's Dudh Kosi River in late March, the expedition kayaker was transfixed by what he calls a "clean blue line" in the valley below. "Clean," that is, in a figurative sense. Below the town of Lukla, the river that drains from Mount Everest tangles itself in steep boulder-choked gorges leaking 60- to 100-foot waterfalls. But it was clean in the sense that there was no way it had ever been paddled before.
The section of river that Stookesberry saw from that helicopter window offered what the 35-year-old calls a "perfect palette" to explore a blank spot on the map and bring back a story all his own.
The problem is the Dudh Kosi already has a story.
Thirty-eight years after a British team returned from the Dudh Kosi, the tale captured on 12,000 feet of 16-mm Kodak color film remains one of the greatest expedition paddling stories ever told. The BBC's widely viewed Everest By Canoe—later remastered as Dudh Kosi: Relentless River of Everest—follows the late Dr. Mike Jones, Mick Hopkinson and four other young kayakers 7,500 miles overland from Britain and 14,340 vertical feet up the trail to Everest. The endearing carnage and glory that ensues as the men paddle torrential Himalayan runoff with primitive gear and delicate fiberglass kayaks has earned the expedition a mythic place in the annals of whitewater.
But as he stared out that helicopter window, Stookesberry realized that the film didn't tell the whole story.
As soon as the chopper landed he began searching for answers, trekking into the valley and scouring through limited information online. Parts of the upper Dudh Kosi had been run several times since the 1976 first descent, but the gorges below Lukla remained untouched for good reason.
"It was a no-brainer" to take out at Lukla, says Dave Manby, who was part of the 1976 British team. "Once in you would have to be self-sufficient, which we were not geared up for, or depend on support crew getting down to the river somewhere."
Darren "Daz" Clarkson-King, who soloed the river in 2012, had a more succinct analysis of the lower gorges: "A no-win, fail mission."
Stookesberry had no paddling partner, kayak, or equipment to draw his own conclusions. He reached out to his paddling contacts, including Surjan Tamang, a 20-year-old Nepali paddler who had impressed Stookesberry on a previous expedition to run a slew of rivers across India, Laos and Nepal. Tamang gladly accepted Stookesberry's invitation to explore the lower gorges and paddle as much of them as possible.
The problem was that Tamang was stuck in Kathmandu; flights to Lukla were reserved strictly for Western tourists. After waiting three days at the airport, Tamang instead traveled 25 hours by bus and Jeep, and then with two porters, made a grueling two-and-a-half-day 31-mile trek into Lukla carrying two kayaks and climbing equipment. The next day Tamang and Stookesberry descended on foot thousands of feet into the canyon to reach the river.
The point of no return was immediate. Their first significant, vertically walled gorge required a 130-foot rappel around an unrunnable falls—a difficult trick for a duo with only a single 165-foot climbing rope. Without enough length to halve the rope over a top anchor in order to retrieve it at the bottom, they had a choice: Turn around there, or drop in on a single line and continue down-canyon without the rope.
Stookesberry had scouted the gorge that morning and felt reasonably certain the canyon would offer "a few outs" farther downriver. He and Tamang rappelled in and left the rope.
The dismay of surrendering such a critical piece of gear swirled with the adrenaline of committing so completely to their goal. With emotions tugging in both directions, the men came to an opening in the gorge, and another critical choice.
"All of a sudden, Surjan is fired up to run this 20-foot drop that was pretty horrendous," Stookesberry says. The river poured into a narrow crack feeding into sieves on left and right. There was just one "super-marginal" line, requiring a seal launch into a hard right move.
Tamang decided to run it.
"My philosophy on river-running is that everybody makes their own decisions," explains Stookesberry, who portaged the drop to set safety.
Tamang made the eddy above the sieves, but not without incident: flipping, wedging into a crack, losing his paddle, and hand-rolling up at the last moment. The close call opened the pair's eyes to their level of exposure—an impossibly remote gorge with no satellite signal to call for help, and no hope of landing a helicopter.
The next five days were a cautious slog to navigate a maze that Stookesberry describes as "really nasty boulder gardens like I've never seen." To a paddler with more than 130 first descents in over 30 countries, a "really nasty" boulder garden means glacially carved, stories-tall chunks of Himalaya that act as canyons unto themselves, stacked in gradient up to 800 feet per mile, most often "unportageable and unsurvivable."
With only a pair of 50-foot throwbags between them, Tamang and Stookesberry took to game trails and shepherds' paths through the jungle growth above the gorge, but still thousands of feet below the main trekking corridor on the rim. Tamang proved an invaluable resource in connecting, refueling and gathering what information they could at the few small villages in the lower valley.
"They were so stoked [Tamang] was there doing this exploration of this river right at their doorstep that they'd wondered about for so long," Stookesberry says.
The team made one last return to the river, bivouacking in a cave and then scrambling four hours to lower their 80-pound boats over exposed ledges. Even with Tamang slipping on a down-climb and taking a 60-foot fall from a cliff to the riverbed, they didn't exhaust their fortune. Tamang was somehow unscathed and the canyon relented to manageable Class V. After making only 10 downriver miles in five days, the pair spent two days paddling the 45 miles out to the confluence with the Sun Kosi.
"We pushed into this unknown section of river and opened up new sections, but left a few spots behind," Stookesberry says. "I think the door's open now to see a complete descent so the river can take its rightful place, not as some shit show of boulders and vague references, but to really understand that this is the Mount Everest of rivers."
With the upcoming 40-year anniversary of the '76 expedition, a complete Dudh Kosi descent is on Stookesberry's mind. The expedition would require more support, more equipment, and, potentially, could include some of the original 1976 team.
Consider Manby and Hopkinson at least intrigued. Both still paddle regularly, and advances in technology (plastic boats, thermal comfort, better painkillers) help assuage some obvious doubts about the rigors of such a trip for 60-something paddlers.
Meanwhile, even as he plots his return to the Dudh Kosi, Stookesberry has designs on perhaps the only unfinished descent that looms larger—Tibet's Yarlung Tsangpo. That clean blue line (and the monumental financial and logistical challenge of mounting an attempt) keeps Stookesberry awake at night, his mind full of whitewater's greatest stories, and the chapters yet to be written.

Forgot to mention I'm tipping the scales at 191 lbs this morning. Up 25 total pounds. This makes me even more excited for the 21 Day Sugar Detox and the Whole30 that will ensue in a few days.
No announcement yet.
My Journey from Sugar Burner to Fat Burner - jenn26point2's Primal Journal
new posts
I'm an Amazon whore. I'll do anything for money to shop at Amazon. Including completing a ton of research studies/surveys sent out by random companies looking for consumer input. I got invited to participate in these surveys somehow and have stuck with it and wracked up enough to get $50 in Amazon gift cards. One of the surveys I completed invited me to participate in further consumer dialog/research about mobile phones. For every formal discussion I participate in, I get 1 point. Each point is worth $2 at Amazon. I am so excited about this influx of Amazon cash! I see myself buying stuff I really don't need but want - like books.
Grabbed a couple of Steno Pads - the notebooks with the spiral at the top - to keep track of the rest of my marathon training. I'll be using it in essence like the 90 day journal, but Mark's journal format wasn't exactly what I needed. A blank notebook should do the trick nicely. My current challenge will be 96 days long and will fully engulf the marathon and all of it's remaining training. I plan to follow whole30 the entire time. I have my best half marathons when following Whole30.
I'll keep track of it in this notebook. Distance run, how it went, nutrition for the day (not quantities, but what I ate), weight, and how I'm feeling overall. Tired, happy, sad, lethargic, sore anywhere, etc. I'll make a few notes each day as well. I think it'll be easier to weed through that when reviewing my training than it is to weed through and online format - either here or MFP or elsewhere.
Made myself go out for a run. Was planning to knock out 4 miles, but 3 was all I could do. Peroneal nerve pain made its presence very well known. I can't wait til this is resolved! Hurry up Paleo! Fix this crap! Of course, I don't expect results after 1 day, but it sure would be nice.
Scale said 188 this morning, so already lost 3 lbs. Score.
Yesterday, Day 1, was a good day. I stayed on plan, I ran/walked 3 miles, and I kept my hands out of the Christmas candy (my mom makes homemade candies - toffee bars, caramels, chocolate covered stuffs like caramel, chocolate cream, etc). Keeping my hands off the caramels was a feat that took a LOT of will power b/c I absolutely LOVE her caramels. The ones in the stores taste like plastic compared to hers.
I started getting a headache last night and it's lingered into this morning now. Kind of annoying but not overly painful yet. Probably a 2 or a 3 on the scale. Noticable but not yet bothersome.
No exercise planned for today. Planning to run 13 miles this weekend at some point - hopefully tomorrow when it's 38 degrees out instead of Sunday when it drops back down to 22. Next week will be a super cold one. We have one day that will be 4 degrees. Then it jumps back up to 30 on Saturday. Today is going to be 36 so I'm going to be itching to get outside - spring fever, for me, hits anytime the temp melts snow.
I found a low carb grainless mac & cheese recipe we plan to try - probably tonight. I'll pair it with some pork/venison burgers cooked in bacon grease or something. Or maybe not... I think burgers and fries sounds like a good Friday night meal and I already have everything at home for it. Going simple tonight.
Yeah for a drop of 3 pounds! and kudos for staying out of the caramels! I'm starting fresh today1. Love ME no matter what noises are screaming at me, or who is trying to tear me down.

Gluten sensitivity is now a recognizable medical "condition" - not yet testable, but recognizable by the NIH.
Ooh interesting article - thanks for sharing.
Um, after being totally side-tracked by that, what drew me here was the comment you made elsewhere about not knowing what to think about if/when you reach goal. Its really got me thinking. And it wasn't anything I had thought about before, mainly because I guess I never thought I would be able to. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a long way from goal, and I have been about this weight before and let it all go back on. But somehow I just feel that this time its different. I'm not impatient to be thin and actually I am much more focussed on being well and healthy. I don't think we'll ever be able to take our eye off the ball, we'll always be recovering sugar-burners, but hopefully in time, it will simply become habit the way we eat rather than a conscious choice to eat primal. I know one thing for sure, I don't want to worry about what to think when I'm at goal until I get there.
Job interview today.
Good luck!Depression Lies
I was really apprehensive for this job interview b/c I didn't feel I had interview worthy clothes... but, since gaining a bit of weight back, my clothes no longer hang off of me, so I guess that's a positive for gaining it back.
Then I was worried about not having appropriate shoes. Since it has gotten cold I have been wearing running shoes to work (greyish in color so not outwardly noticeable at first). Since losing weight, my heels no longer fit me and kind of clunk when I walk. So I was going to get new ones this weekend, but totally forgot while shopping. I had decided I was just going to wear my heels anyway, but then discovered my fast flats again.
Now I'm just nervous as hell b/c I don't know any of the interviewers and I'm afraid I'll leave out some important info that could impact my ability to get the job.
Oh well. It is what it is. It's 14 minutes til my interview time, so I better start heading for the elevator. I'll check in when it's done.
Hoping it went well!1. Love ME no matter what noises are screaming at me, or who is trying to tear me down.

GAWD I hate interviews. I have no idea how that went... I guess well, but whether or not it was good enough is questionable. They asked some loaded questions, like
1. Describe experience you have had with establishing and maintaining relationships that helped improve productivity. For this one I tried to bring in my education. The interviewers can't ask any questions for clarification or "lead" me to any answers, so I had to remember things I'd done and bring them to the table. I mentioned my Master's Degree and that it taught me how to use relationships with people to get tasks done - that having a relationship with people will sway them to do things you ask b/c they want to do them for you, YOU being the motivator. Or, they want to do it b/c they like me, not b/c I work for the COL, although in some cases, using the COL as a motivator is also necessary. I didn't communicate it that well, I don't think, so we'll see if it got me anywhere... that was probably the hardest question.
2. Describe experience you have had with time management and shifting priorities and how you have overcome those challenges. I couldn't think of any work related experiences, although there have been plenty b/c most days I feel more like a firefighter than anything, so I explained how as a mom and a marathoner, there are constant prioritization demands in play. I want to run marathons so I have to prioritize training while also prioritizing my kids' needs as well as our family's financial needs because races are expensive. When I tried to also include something work related, the higher ranking interviewer told me the first example was actually pretty good - so thumbs up there.
One was about programs I use daily, one was about maintaining the calendars. There was a fifth question, but I don't remember right off hand what it was.
I was nervous and I think that nervousness and self-consciousness transferred directly into my voice and thought processes which prevented me from communicating effectively. And sadly, communication is a one of the job requirements... but I don't do well in those scenarios and unfortunately, the only way to get better at interviews is to interview more often, which won't happen where I'm at with so few job openings.
Ugh... oh well. If I didn't get it, no loss, really. I already have a job that is sufficient. It's not like I'm unemployed and in need of an income. I am comfortable with my job.
This job upstairs would be great b/c I'd be the secretary for, I think, 4 people, which would keep me uber busy... Basically, what I do now - but busier. But with that busy-ness comes a cost. She said that lunch breaks that would allow me to run pretty much aren't guaranteed, so I'd have to "shift priorities" there. Somedays it would be possible, but it didn't sound like it would be easily managed like it is here. She said that 8-430 for hours is acceptable (given daycare constraints). She also said that a reduction in force (RIF - layoffs due to budget cuts) is not in the plans, but given everything else militarily, plans are always subject to change as the demands change.
So, now I'm faced with a dillema... if I'm offered the job, do I take it and sacrifice my lunch break training runs knowing it will be next to impossible to fit them in anywhere else, or do I decline the job and keep my current position and my lunch break training runs? I guess that's something I'll have to talk to Brad about... but I honestly don't know when else I'd be able to fit in an hour of running and still be able to maintain things at home. Brad would have to start cooking. lol I guess I could pre-make everything on the weekends (i.e. put the meatloaf together, thaw and cut/precook the chicken for chicken scampi, etc) a la Well Fed, and then all Brad would have to do is toss stuff in the oven to cook. I think we could make it work - if we worked together. Of course, then sports seasons would interfere - Brad's racing, Brady's baseball, etc, etc, etc.
Ugh, it would be all too easy to just have a home gym - if only there was extra money available to make it happen.
Tomorrow is Day 1 of my 90 Day Whole30. So today, by default, is the last ditch binge day where I get in all those foods I'm afraid I'll crave starting tomorrow. So, I had two donuts for breakfast, a hot chocolate, and now I'm sipping a Dr. Pepper - which is probably the worst of all sodas out there. Oh wait, there's no flame retardant in it, so maybe it's less bad. I plan to do some drinking tonight, but not sure what - probably wine and a couple shots of the Fireball Whiskey Brad got me for my birthday. He couldn't remember what wine I liked so he got me FB b/c that's what Melanie and I were doing for shots in Tennessee. I would have preferred the wine and that whiskey will probably sit in the pantry for 100 years next to the bottle of Southern Comfort that's been in there for 50. Dinner tonight will be Chicken Scampi b/c it'll be 90 days before I welcome dairy back into my life. Brad will be torqued if he doesn't get Chicken Scampi for 90 days... (I haven't exactly told him how long I'm doing this Whole30 for... hehehehe)
I finally got Brad to watch The Hunger Games and now he really wants to go see Catching Fire before it's out of theaters and he has to wait 6 months to catch it on pay per view. I can't tell how long our local theaters are keeping it though. The local cheap seats theater has it currently ($4 tickets FTW!!) but Brad says the seats are really narrow and being a bigger guy, he won't be comfy there. I can respect that... so we're looking for it in the multiplexes. In looking at the website for one of our theaters, they aren't showing it after tomorrow. And the theater closer to home (fewer screens) has already stopped showing it. Bummer. We could probably get someone to watch the kids tomorrow night - maybe. They have 4 showings. 11, 2:30, 6:30 and 10. I know the two earlier showings won't be possible b/c we'll be at MIL's watching the Outback Bowl. The later ones might be possible, but we'd need to find a sitter. Finding a sitter is always a PITA. We were hoping to hit the theaters for a matinee on Thursday or Friday (I took the rest of the week off).
My plan for Thursday and Friday is to spend a little bit of time with Brad, while taking advantage of the time the kids are in school/at daycare to purge some toys and make room for the stuff they just got for Christmas. Brad brought home a stack of boxes from work (BIG BOXES - like moving box sized) to put toys in to clear space. We'll either take the toys to the shelter or to Goodwill. Not sure yet - my preference is the shelter over Goodwill.
Ok, I guess I don't have anything but rambles today. I'm gonna go catch up on journals. Happy New Year's Eve and New Year everyone!
Here's something interesting... Brad is having the kids collect toys they no longer want to keep to be given away - he decided to start them on it today instead of waiting til I did it later this week. He just sent me a text stating Brady has filled 3 boxes and Makenna has filled 1. This is bringing me some serious anxiety... Two things come to mind. 1. The kids will throw away a special toy by accident (something I know is special to them but they're neglecting to be mindful of that - especially Makenna b/c I don't think she realizes the toys will be gone for good), and 2. They are mostly likely missing some pieces when they put them in the box so we'll be giving away incomplete toys and/or I'll find pieces to a toy later that should have been put in the box that I will then have to throw away instead of some disadvantaged little boy or girl getting to play with it with the rest of the toy they got.
What I REALLY think the problem is, is that I don't have control over what's happening at home. I have no idea what's being put in the boxes and Brad doesn't care. I really wish I could be at home to monitor what's going in the boxes... :S
Maybe you and Brad can sift through the boxes together later, so you can tell him about your concerns & show him any toys that shouldn't have gone in there/were missing pieces. As for important toys... If it's lost, it's lost. It's just a toy and they are young (this is probably very insensitive of me as a non-parent), so they will get over it. You could also keep the boxes "in limbo", out of sight somewhere for a certain amount of time. If the kids don't ask after anyway, they're safe to go.
Happy New Year! I hope you can get out to see Catching Fire with Brad
SPOILER (highlight for text)
So the one thing that I totally forgot about from the books that I wish they'd put into the movies is Peeta losing his leg & Katniss needing hearing aids. I think they're doing a great job with the films so far, but cutting those things out isn't a minor oversight to me. I think it would have spoken worlds about the film creators if they'd given the main characters disabilities, even though it's not important to the plot. On another note, I'm really nervous about how they're going to handle Peeta for the last two movies (wonder how they're going to split up the last book).Depression Lies

If a sudden power outage has rendered your freezer useless, there's no need to despair if you find yourself with a frozen ham that needs to be cooked on the fly. Perhaps a large ham is taking up too much room in your freezer, and you want to free up the space. Or, you're living a hostess's nightmare -- you forgot to thaw the main course. Regardless of the reason, cooking a frozen ham is a relatively simple task. Before you know it, you will be sinking your teeth into a juicy, glazed slice of cooked ham.
Things You'll Need
- Aluminum foil
- Roasting pan
- Glaze
Thawing Ham
Fill sink with cold tap water so that the water completely submerses the ham.
Put ham in the cold water to defrost, keeping the wrapping on the ham so it does not contaminate the water. A small ham requires two to three hours to thaw, and a larger ham requires 30 minutes per pound.
Remove ham from water bath when it is completely thawed and remove packaging.
Baking the Ham
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line roasting pan with aluminum foil.
Place ham in pan, with the fat side up. Leave the ham uncovered.
Cook ham in oven for 20 minutes to 30 minutes per pound of meat.
Apply glaze during the last 30 minutes of baking.
Remove the cooked ham from oven, allowing it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Tips & Warnings
- Unlike turkey or chicken, hams should not be basted with their own fluid. This fluid is often too salty and will wash away any glaze on the ham.
- Sanitize all of the surfaces and utensils used in the thawing process.
- Never thaw ham or other meat using hot water because it facilitates the growth of bacteria.
