Before: 247 pounds
After: 143 pounds
Height: 5'2"
Age: 46
Kim Morris had been overweight ever since she was a child. She was able to shed pounds in her 20s and 30s, but she always gained it back. It became even more difficult to focus on her diet when she went back to school in her 40s while working full-time. "I didn't have the time or energy to eat healthy. I was stopping at McDonalds on a regular basis; I would drink 2 liters of Mountain Dew in a day," she says. (Search: Calories in soda)
The Turning Point
The persistent health issues that ran in Kim's family, including diabetes, heart problems, and bladder cancer, were her eventual wakeup call. "I was turning 45 and I realized I wasn't getting any younger," she says. "I decided that if I didn't do something to alter my body, I wouldn't be able to avoid the same health problems that my mother, grandfather, aunts, and uncle have had."

The Lifestyle
Right away Kim cut soda, most fast foods, fried foods, and a lot of bread from her diet, while incorporating more fruits, vegetables and lean proteins at the same time. She lost 15 pounds within the first month of her weight loss plan. (Video: 4 Ways to Cut 100 Calories)
She also hired a personal trainer and began going to the gym 6 days a week. Two days each week Kim worked with him, and she exercised independently on the other four: "My trainer told me to try to do a half hour of cardio, and I would do twice what he said." Her routine combined time on the treadmill and elliptical machine as well as crunches, assisted chin-ups, and other exercises her trainer taught her. (Related: Supercharge Your Workout Routine)
The Motivation
As a lifelong lover of clothes (she's got three full closets), Kim has stayed energized as she's watched her dress size shrink. "Seeing the new me emerge has been great," she says. "And now it's fun to go shopping. I can get into the stuff I've seen all the other women wearing. It's an accomplishment."
Additionally, Kim keeps a weight goal in her cross-hairs. "I am a few pounds away from my 'satisfaction goal' of 140 pounds, although I would ultimately like to get down to 130 pounds."

The Reward
Kim's most satisfying "new me" moment came when she was able to fit into size 8 jeans for the first time in her adult life. "I also have a lot more energy. It's not hard to do things the way it was—I don't get out of breath tying my shoes. Plus, I'm dating again!"
Kim's Tips
Do it for yourself. Kim's weight loss efforts finally turned a corner when she decided to lose weight for herself, instead of to please someone else. "I used to lose weight and gain it back, but this time I did it for myself. I didn't do it because someone didn't want a fat girlfriend or I thought that was what my husband wanted."
Exercise is a means to an end. "Even if you don't have fun exercising, it's worth it. I'm not a big fan of exercise, but it [helps me] stay at the weight I'm at and [makes me] feel good. Just think of it as one of those things you have to do—pay taxes, die, and exercise."

Best Local Elected Official (County)

Bexar County Judge, bexar.org/countyjudge
Consider him one of the deans of San Antonio's Democrats. Elected County Judge in 2001, Wolff's been around the block, dipping his toe in nearly every facet of local government including SA City Council and the mayor's seat (twice). With that history, no wonder he put his thoughts to paper, writing a number of books including an insider's account of San Antonio politics during the '80s and '90s.

In my search for healthy snacks I came across this recipe. Now, chips and salsa are not really a "healthy" snack but, I am a fan of the fact that this healthy salsa makes for a more filling and nutritious alternative when you get a salty craving. And, depending on what you serve it with, it may just turn into a healthy snack after all.
Tomatoes this time of year tend to be pretty tasteless, so this a great winter salsa since it uses only one small tomato. This type of recipe is highly adaptable. If you don't like cilantro, leave it out. Throw in some red peppers, if you like. Or use red onions instead of green. Really, it's not a science. You can literally chuck in whatever suites your fancy. Next time I'll probably add some chopped avocado and amp up the spiciness by leaving in the jalapeño seeds.
I'm also planning on taking this out of the snack realm by making some to serve at our next taco night. It takes no time to prep and every bit of homemade goodness turns a good meal into a great one.
Black Bean Salsa
For a spicier salsa leave the seeds in the jalapeño pepper.
- 1 small tomato, seeded and diced
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds and membranes removed, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 (15.5 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toss ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. Refrigerate until serving.

- Florence Cassez - France - Mexico
Relations between France and Mexico turn icy over Florence Cassez's jail sentence
The French woman imprisoned in Mexico for being part of a kidnapping gang has lost her final appeal against her sentence. Judges have decided to uphold the 60 year sentence given to Florence Cassez in 2006, despite several requests by French President Nicolas Sarkozy to let her return to her home country. As a result, relations between France and Mexico are becoming increasingly strained.

Florence Cassez needs to pay on Mexico jail for the kidnapping crime
Mexican POV
by Anonyme - 16/02/2011 - 22:03
I am Mexican and not as nationalist as you may think and i am aware of the huge problems in some parts of Mexico, but she has been judged by 3 different independent Tribunales (Ok, maybe some mexicans are corrupt, that is a cancer which has been hard to get rid of, due to the implicit way to handle things in lower class, but i know we are more good Mexicans that those who want to seek for the bad of this rich and vas country). We have to understand this, the kidnapping victims (whom we should actually be talking about, instead of florence) have confirmed she was part of the process including her participation in extracting blood from a kid that was kidnapped, in order to send along with a human ear to his father who was previously released to gather the money to pay the kidnappers that brought up pressure towards the family to get things done ASAP, a fact that no one can deny is that french accent is always noticeable weather they speak english, spanish or any language and the victims have claim to identify this accent, this is why i don't think she is innocent. Is she the guiltiest? Maybe not, maybe she was afraid too, maybe she is just cold blooded and careless about the victims, but she didn't only knew about the poeple that was hidden in the house she lived in, but she did nothing about it, and this is why she must remain in jail, i agree 60 years is almost an everlasting sentence for Florence, maybe it could be less, but the truth is that no head of state is in the position to argue or question a desition of a sovereign country for more good intention they may have, the years when France was a world superpower and their choices and declarations were heard everywhere have finished, and a prove to that is the behavior of the French president, the foreign affair chancellor, and the Minister of culture their comments have nothing to do with a refined diplomatic response, i am glad Mexico has responded by not participating in a One year celebration that according to Sarkozy, would have seeked to bring up Cassez issue (a convicted criminal) in every single event which falls too far apart to the main purpose of L'annne du Mexique au France. Nationalism and some people on the other end in Mexico should be more informed about foreign affairs, the treaty signed by Mexico & France in 2007 and the comparission to what an international prissioner could handle in its own country.
Hopefully for the sake of Mexico-France deep friend relationship, this will get to a good outcome and each of the counterparts can go half way into fixing this outstanding and stupid issue.

Florence trial
by Anonyme - 16/02/2011 - 21:37
"The trial has been demonstrated", is the Mexico's government statement. I know, because of course I really know how they work, that Mexico police accused several mistakes, because they did not follow the legal procedures. But one thing is certain; Florence for any reason was there…it means something... whatever, but something.
On the other hand regarding to the President of France request. Even though it was denied by Mr. Calderon, in that moment precisely , they both together would ask for a third party institution, for instance an International Court to determine whether she is guilty or not. Now for having omitted being polite which is the essence of diplomacy , we are involved in unnecessary troubles.

Most South Asian parents love the idea of a having a doctor in the family. And it seems like many of them get their wish, judging by the astonishing number of desi doctors on ABC's medical reality show "Boston Med," which comes to an end Thursday. The show followed residents, doctors and nurses at three of Boston's top hospitals.
In just the first 10 minutes of the first episode on June 24 of the eight-part series that was filmed in 2009, it looked like there were at least five.
To start with, there was the nose-ring-wearing Pina Patel, ER resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, who was under a lot of stress at work for her leadership skills as well as from her parents for being single.

It's something nobody thought would happen at any point of the season, especially in the playoffs. Indiana Pacers power forward David West hasn't had an impact in the series against the Atlanta Hawks. Not West, the backbone of the Pacers. Not West, the team's most consistent player the past two seasons. Not West, the veteran savvy player who has managed to overcome his shortcomings in speed and athleticism to often end up schooling players at his position. Yes, that West. West continued to be unnoticeable Monday when the Hawks evened the series with the Pacers via their 102-91 victory at Philips Arena. The best-of-seven series is tied 2-all with Game 5 on Wednesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. "I have to figure out a way to be more effective in this series," West said. "I feel like I have an advantage at times, but we have to be able to catch a good rhythm in these games." West is right: It's time for him to get out of his funk. The Pacers need him. No offense to Paul George and the rest of the team, but they won't win this series without West getting back to being the David West of the regular season.
David West must play better for Pacers to pull out series

The term the bench refers to judges and comes from the name of the place in the courtroom where the judge sits.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The desk and seat (usually a chair rather than an actual bench) where a judge sits in the courtroom. Sometimes the word "bench" is used in place of the word "judge" -- for example, a party to a lawsuit might ask for a bench trial, meaning a trial by a judge without a jury. And lawyers in a trial sometimes "approach the bench," meaning they step up to speak to the judge.

President to meet Tamil parties |
Tuesday, 17 February 2009 | |
COLOMBO: In a surprise move, President Mahinda Rajapaksa, disarming his critics in India, has decided to call a meeting of TNA, TULF , EPDP, CWC and other Tamil political parties of Sri Lanka on 'democracy' road map for the 'liberated areas'. The meeting will take place in about a week and may coincide with the army virtually liquidating the Tigers in their very Wanni stronghold. "We needed a military solution to evict the terrorists from the country. The government took up the challenge to liberate our country from the Prabhakaran menace. Our heroic soldiers have almost liberated Wanni and already 95 percent is free. In a few days, our security forces will free the entire Wanni. So, it is time we address the problem politically", the President told the Asian Tribune in an exclusive interview. He made it clear that leaders of all Tamil parties would be invited 'without any discrimination' unmindful of their previous political links in the past. "There will be no discrimination. Leaders of all Tamil parties will be invited. Yes, despite their previous leaning towards LTTE. Where is LTTE now? I want to hear them on how to go about restoring the political process in Wanni. This is very urgent. We cannot delay (the process)," the President stated candidly. Leaders of Tamil National Alliance (TNA), Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF), Thamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP), Tamizh Democratic National Alliance (TDNA), Pathmanabha Eelam Revolutionary Liberation Front (PERLF), Up-Country People's Front (UPF), Eelam People's Democratic Party (EPDF), Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization, (TELO), Ceylon Workers' Congress (CWC), will be invited besides Deputy Ministers Suresh Vadivel, Parliamentarian Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan, Vadivel Puttirasigamani and others. Shortly after coming to power, President Rajapaksa had set up an All Party Representative Committee (APRC) to examine issues related to devolution of power and 13th Amendment to the Constitution. Though it has done some work, APRC has not made much headway in the absence of consensus. However it is expected to deliver soon. Asked about the rationale for his new initiative, Rajapaksa said, "I am of the opinion that we have to urgently consider ways and means of brining the people of Wanni into the democratic mainstream." Elaborating, the President said, 'Unless we take some steps quickly to give voice to the people and rehabilitate the displaced families, the sacrifices of the army will have no meaning. Our victories will be wasted'. He added that the political process and rehabilitation should go hand in hand for 'stability' in the country. Answering a question, President Rajapaksa said, "It is time we come up with plans for development of the North and share the dividends of the war (to end LTTE terrorism) with the people particularly in the North." Referring to the progress of the War against terrorists, Rajapaksa said it (the war) has reached the final stages and that was the reason why the government has started focusing attention on people's needs. 'Remember they lived with fear without basic facilities under the Tigers since 1996. LTTE held them as hostages'. Housing, the President said, would receive 'top priority' as a part of resettlement and rehabilitation of people displaced due to the war. Infrastructure will be created expeditiously and drinking water, medical cover, and schools and other basic amenities will be provided. Already the Cabinet has approved a memorandum to construct 8000 semi-permanent houses for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPS) entering the Government controlled area. Five welfare villages have been identified to settle people coming out of Kilinochchi, the President told the Asian Tribune when asked for details of the plans underway. Asked whether the government would make an appeal to the diaspora for contribution, Rajapaksa replied: "Why only diaspora? Our people in Western countries? Every one of us in Sri Lanka should consider our paramount duty is to help in whatever way possible our Tamil brethren who are being liberated. It is our bounden duty". Answering a question about Prabhakaran, the President said, "Our invitation to Prabhakaran and his men is still there. If there is going to be change of heart, Government will welcome them." He regretted that the LTTE leader did not respond to his appeals to lay down arms and come to talks. "We have already appealed to Prabhakaran and his men to lay downs their arms. We invited them to join the mainstream and come forward for talks. Unfortunately our appeals fell on their deaf ears and the Government was forced to take military action (against them)".

The cadence is a critical element in any harmonic progression.

- Music & AudioThe Basic Functions of Harmony
"All you need is three chords and the truth."
At it's core, all music can be considered an interplay of tension and release. The degree of tension can come from dissonance vs. consonance, orchestration, dynamics, or a hundred other musical elements. The key to using tension and release is balance. With too much tension and no release the tension can become unbearable and the music unlistenable. On the reverse side, if the music is too neutral with little to no amount of tension it can be dull and lifeless.

GUILFORD An elderly Dummerston woman died last week from injuries she received three days earlier in a car crash on Weatherhead Hollow Road.

Police said Mary Evelyn Lunge, 62, of Hinsdale, N.H., said she fell asleep and hit a tree during the midday accident. Lunge received a concussion in the accident, as well as cracked ribs.

text: Vail Resorts is reporting 23″ in the last 3 days. Up top in places, yes, there is 23″ including parts of the back bowls. Locals that are calling VRI "liars" for their 2 reports of 12″ on Tuesday and 11″ on Wednesday need to lighten up. There are wind blown areas on the hill – that is for certain. And from personal experience, yes, not all areas of the mountain got 23″. This IS the Rockies and conditions are variable. But, I am drinking too much of the "Vail Resorts Kool-Aid" when I believe that the company is being truthful with their snow report from Mid Vail? Do you really think someone on the VRI payroll is packing snow around the depth camera to lie to customers? Personally, I don't think so. We are just becoming spoiled locals who need to be mad at "the Man" because our favorite stash didn't see all 23″. Get happy – the snow conditions are superb.

At NameBio there are a few different professional circles that we float between. We're heavy into domains obviously, but we're also involved with IT startups.
Our friends at FounderFuel, a Canadian startup accelerator & TechStars affiliate based out of Montreal are 3 weeks into their second cohort. They've been blogging about the experience it as they go. Now, being a startup accelerator FounderFuel's blog is startup focused, but the parallels between IT startups and the domain business are very strong.
A number of days ago our friends made a post that has a lot of relevance to all small business owners "Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes." It's well worth the read and has a great graphic that one of the FounderFuel team members created.
Below is a short excerpt, I encourage everyone to read the full post!
Making mistakes is inevitable. When kids learn to ride their bikes, they're going to fall off. I sure as hell did. But I learned from my mistake and now, riding a bike is, well, as easy as riding a bike. Once you learn how to ride a bike, you don't make the mistake of falling off it again. Riding a bike isn't the most valuable skill, but making mistakes much bigger than falling off a bike can mean acquiring invaluable skills and significantly improving not just your business, but your own worth as well.

Customer comments about Addison 84h 30w Two-Door Bookcase:
I bought this to use as a landing area in the corner of our living room that is near the front door. It can hold the mail and a tray for keys and wallets and look nice and uncluttered doing it.
I wish I could have have a drawer that's the one reason I didn't give it 5 stars. But it's a lovely piece of furniture and has transformed that area into something useful and pleasant to look at.

It's not that this place was awful but I would not recommend it for other backpackers. Its hard to get to. We told the taxi driver "Chaweng place by the post office" he said he knew where but took us to "Chaweng Palace". had to get another taxi and several didn't know where the post office was. The bathroom floor had not been cleaned for a long time. Drain clogged with hair. asked if they could clean it but it never happened. You can do better for cheaper. The urban hostel or the wave.

Run by a lovely man, made us feel very welcome. Cute puppy of the owners too, very sweet,harmless - doesn't go into guests rooms though and very well behaved. 5/10 min walk from the main strip, which was perfect for us as we weren't getting disturbed by the loud music all night.

Shemale dominatrix Aly just loves playing with her subs. Her new bitch John is a loaded gun who can cum nearly on command. Shemale goddess Aly ties John up and uses a cock enlarging pump to suction his manhood into a long cup while his ass is filled with a thick dildo.
He can not move back without that massive dildo going deeper in his ass and he can not move forward without the pump pushing on his mad hard cock. John's limits are pushed as mistress Aly tickles him, put him through predicament play. She is so hard, her shecock aches to be in his ass. She gives him a merciless ass banging. John takes a long ass fucking in three positions before shemale domme Aly cums in his face.

I needed an average size monitor for my Asus notebook. This monitor has everything I need including speakers!. This is definitely "plug and play" with a super easy instalation: if you can plug the power cord to your electric source and attach the cable to the monitor and your computer, turn the unit on you are inbusiness. Very satisfied!
I am very happy with this monitor. It was easy to set up and the quality is very good. The only negative I have is the buttons to make the adjustments for the color and clarity took a few extra minutes to figure out. There is a method to learn the modes and adjustments but overall it is a really great monitor. I would definitely recommend it. The price was good as well. The repair shop that I use for computers told me that Asus is THE BEST BRAND by far. That is why I bought it.
I ordered this monitor as a Christmas gift, when I hooked it up I found that there was a green line running vertically from top to bottom. I called Asus and they told me it was a manufacture defect and to contact Overstock for a replacement. I called and Overstock forgot to ship my monitor without telling me ...I waited a long time and called back again..... I spoke to an associate that was extremely helpful, unfortunately they were out of stock on the monitor I odered so the associate Upgraded my monitor to a larger size....ultimately the same monitor just larger...at no additional cost to me....I recv'd my monitor the other day and I am extremely satisfied...other than they shipping error, overstock stood behind their product and even upgraded me for my trouble...it was apleasure to do business with and I will again in the future.
I bought this for my part time assistant who connects it to her laptop and she loves it. She can have something up on her laptop screen and drag it to the monitor, and it's speakers are much better than her laptop, although could be a little louder. All in all, we are both thrilled. Excellent quality for the price!
The size of the monitor is great, however the text looks slightly fuzzy. I visited the website, entered the model number and got the recommended resolution for a 17" monitor, which is, indeed the setting on this monitor, even though it is a 20". This problem may be fixable, but it just shouldn't be this difficult, even for the techno-challenged person I am. If I could solve this problem, I would probably give it five stars.
Fast, Cheap, Works great. I am happy with the product.
Was looking for a monitor for my PC. This one works OK. I never did figure out how to get into the program. I has built in speakers, which do not work. Has a very poor user manual. Did what it says, but will not get into the program.
Inexpensive plug and go. Works as it should. As always with overstock, came quickly
Very easy to set up... Love the size of the screen... prompt delivery... Just love Overstock products and I've never been disappointed.
We have purchased (2) of these monitors now. After seeing mine which I use for my home office, my 15 yr old wanted an additional monitor for his laptop. He loves it. Easy to set-up . would recommend to friends.

KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- Kirksville residents got a rare treat Saturday afternoon. They got to take a step back into the late 19th century, as they toured the historic Captain Thomas C. Harris home on E. Burton Street.
The home was built in 1875, by Capt. Harris, a union war veteran from New York. It has an Italian design, with high ceilings, wood floors and plenty of wood trim. It also has a cupola on the third floor.
The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Maxine Shafer, who currently lives in the home, said the renovating process was quite an undertaking.
"We had to install new bathrooms, clear through the house. All new wiring, a new furnace, " said Maxine Shafer.
Her son, Daryl Shafer, has owned the home for the past six years.
"It's on-going. By the time I finish one job, another job has to be done over," said Daryl Shafer. "But we're really proud of it. We love it, the community support. We're really happy to make this available to the whole community to enjoy."
The tours cost $4 for adults and $1 for children.
Shafer said his open house is a preview to the 150th anniversary of the Civil War Battle of Kirksville. There will be a re-enactment at Rotary Park on Aug. 4 to commemorate the occasion.

Welcome to Women's Programs at Stevens!
The mission of Women's Programs is to increase awareness of and sensitivity to issues facing women, as well as build a more supportive, dynamic atmosphere on campus. We provide opportunities for the Stevens women to educate themselves, encourage one another, and provide a safe setting to share ideas, engage in dialogue, and collaborate on programs. Through our programming, ranging from health and wellness and the arts to professional development and social opportunities, women are encouraged to develop their leadership skills and to further their interpersonal, academic, and professional development.
Our Objectives:
To educate students about important topics:
- Develop programs in conjunction with Stevens' women's residence hall, Lore-El, and various student groups, including the Society of Women Engineers and three sororities, on gender issues such as body image, sexual assault, sexual health, healthy relationships, and women in the workplace
- Guest lectures on important gender issues concerning both men and women
To advocate personal, social, and career development for women:
- Help navigating university policies and procedures on issues such as sexual harassment and sexual assault
- Introduce women to engineering and science, inspire them to pursue technical careers, and promote their success
Upcoming Events |
Congratulations to the graduate & undergraduate recipients of the 2013 Women's Recognition Awards

Celebrate the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center's 40th Anniversary Year!
Forty years ago, a spark ignited our imaginations! March 9, 2013 kicked off a year-long celebration of the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and its 40 years of success in bringing hands-on science to our San Diego community. Forty years ago, the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center opened its doors and brought interactive exhibits and the world's first IMAX® Dome Theater to San Diego. Today, the Fleet inspires minds and connects individuals to science and technology through more than 100 "do touch" exhibits for all ages and amazing IMAX films and planetarium shows in the recently renovated Heikoff Giant Dome Theater. Enjoy our year-long celebration, featuring a blockbuster exhibition, incredible events and dynamic educational experiences.
About the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center
The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center ("the Fleet") is home to Southern California's only IMAX® Dome Theater and 100+ hands-on science exhibits for all ages. Watch immersive giant-screen films in the Heikoff Dome Theater, featuring the world's first NanoSeam™ Dome screen in an IMAX Theater. The Fleet is the first Giant Dome Theater in the country to share a digital planetarium with an IMAX Dome theater, following the recent installation of a new, state-of-the-art, giant dome screen digital GSX™ system from Global Immersion, which augments the existing IMAX® projector in the Heikoff Dome Theater with one of the most comprehensive and powerful full-dome experiences available today. The digital system not only enhances our planetarium capabilities but expands the possibilities for sustainable institutional programming that could include evening programming with cultural content of various kinds. Experience eight galleries of fun, interactive exhibits, including major traveling exhibitions. A hurricane simulator thrills visitors with gusts of wind up to 80 miles per hour. Enjoy sandwiches, salads and healthy treats in Galileo's Café. Find unique educational toys and games, books, IMAX DVDs and more in the North Star Science Store. Located at 1875 El Prado, two blocks south of the San Diego Zoo on Park Blvd, the Fleet Science Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to furthering the public understanding and enjoyment of science and technology. For information regarding current admission prices, please call (619) 238-1233 or visit our website at www.rhfleet.org.

Michelle's First Talk
29 July 2005
Palms are sweaty, heart is racing a million miles an hour and the crowd starts to form around me... what do I say? Mind has gone blank.Fortunately words did come out, but I can't remember what they were. I always thought I would rather get hit by a bus than talk in front of a large crowd of people I don't know, but really, now that I have done it, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. With Herbie and Damo encouraging me the whole way, I did a five-minute talk on Scrapper the crocodile while the boys fed him (five minutes still felt like a lifetime). I still have loads more practices before I am ready to face the 5000-seat Crocoseum. But the more I do the better it gets and the easier it will become. So you may see me around at the alligators, Freshwater Crocodiles and Scrapper's enclosure having a talk about these amazing reptiles, so stop and say hello - and a cheer would be great!
Until next time, Crocs Rule!
