Bucky x Reader Man from the MemoryBucky x Reader Man from the Memory Dedicated to the beautiful Marilsasda A thin film of sweat covered (Name)'s body as her chest heaved up and down, her hand gripping at her heart beneath her tank top. She'd had another one of those nightmares again. She wasn't entirely sure why they kept happening over and over, but it was always the same scenes.They usually started with some man, walking together in a park, hand in hand. It was romantic and beautiful, and she found that if she ever thought about it, the little scene would bring a slight blush to her cheeks. He'd stop them in front of a beautiful pond, trees everywhere. It was so serene and peaceful. Then he would turn her to face him, and take out a small box, like one you would put jewelry in. She'd always gasp and put her hands to her mouth before shakily opening it, revealing a small, silver locket with a picture of her and one of him on the insides of it. Then he would take it gently i
Peter x Reader TrulyPeter x Reader Truly"Peter Parker, why are you so tall?" (Name) asked, half-joking and half-serious. Of course, Peter was completely oblivious to her hidden frustrations and just laughed, shutting his locker that stood next to the one she leaned against."I'm serious, Parker, you're just too tall." She continued, trailing next to him as they walked to their classes. With every step he took, she had to take three just to keep up with him. Walking with that boy was practically a workout. Maybe that's how she stayed so thin. Peter laughed again, shaking his head as they turned the corner."No (Name), you're just too short!" He joked, and she smiled as best she could, even if his comment stung a little. They both paused in front of the doorway to her class, English IV Honors. Because even though she was short, she was kind of extremely smart."Tell you what, (Name); I'll stop being tall if you stop being short."
Kiss Me Slowly (StevexReader) One-Shot"Do you have to go?" you asked as your lower lip quivered.You were doing your best not to cry. Stay with me, baby stay with me,Tonight don't leave me alone.Walk with me, come and walk with me,To the edge of all we've ever known.Steve was going off another mission for SHIELD. You didn't like it when he had to go. Last time he was gone for over six months and you barely had any contact with him. You knew that dating him would bring these challenges to your love life with him, but that still didn't mean that you were always ready to let him go when he had another mission to go on."I'm sorry," he murmured against your lips as he leaned in to kiss you. "But I need to do this. There are many innocent lives that need to be saved. If and I don't do it, then who will?""I...I….I don't know," you sighed.You wrapped your arms around him, wanting to hold him like this for
Last Name Sucks (Romano x Reader)"(Name)!" Lovino, (Name)'s boyfriend of six years, called her out for the millionth time. (Name) was actually busy reading fanfics and didn't want to be disturbed right now. She kept ignoring the Italian's calls for her, until she grew tired of hearing her name more than a millionth time.She grumpily stomped downstairs; annoyed that she was disturbed, even if it was her boyfriend. "What?""You know what (Name)? I really don't like your name." Lovino complained at her.Her brow twitched and her blood starts to boil. HE INTERRUPTED HER JUST FOR THAT?! She just breathed in and tried to reply as calmly as possible. "Excuse me?""Your name idiota, I really don't like it. Mostly your last name, it sucks.""What's wrong with my last name?" (Name) snaps at him."It doesn't suit you, you should change it." Lovino stated bluntly."Change it?" (Name) scoffs. &
Bucky x Reader CutBucky x Reader Cut"No.""Don't do this, Bucky.""I'm not letting you.""Bucky, please.""I absolutely refuse to let you do this, (Name).""Oh for heaven's sake, it is not that big a deal!""Yes it is! And I will not allow you to do this!""Child, you are overreacting.""No I'm not!""I'm just giving you a haircut. You need it!""I do not!"She groaned loudly, the scissors in her hand waiting expectantly, but to no avail. Bucky was dead set against anyone touching his hair. (Name) figured it was because of trust issues, seeing as he was pretty cold and distant towards anyone who attempted to be nice to him. The only reason why he was sort of conversational with her was because she'd taken him in. Of course, she didn't know a thing about him, except that he'd shown up passed out at the edge o
Bucky x Baby! Reader EndlesslyBucky x Baby! Reader EndlesslyBucky Barnes was not a charity case. After everything that had happened to him in DC months ago, the absolute last thing he wanted to do with was people. More specifically, tiny, high maintenance people. More more specifically, babies.Like the one currently sitting in a woven basket crying her face off on the riverbank, all Moses style. He groaned to himself, wondering why he of all people had to be the one to discover the child, the small note attached to her thin blankets damp from baby tears and river water. 'Of course it would be the one time I actually want to go for a walk in a park.' He thought to himself, kneeling down to retrieve the girl from the basket, taking the note off with his metal hand and tucking her stinky little self in his other arm. "Dear reader,Please take good care of my daughter, (Name). I can't take care of her now because I'm having a lot of family an
Forever and For Always Undertaker x Reader "That should be just about everything on the list. I hope I didn't forget anything." Making your way back from a simple errand, you strolled down the street with a bright smile on your face. Despite the daily morbidity and gruesomeness of your work, you had honestly never been happier than you were tight now. You never would have imagined it, but working for the Undertaker brought a sense of purpose to your life, something that you hadn't had before. This new purpose gave you something to look forward to, which in turn, made you very happy. Being around the Undertaker all the time wasn't exactly a bad thing either. As you approached the small building you now called home, your smile widened even more.When you pushed open the old, creaking door, a rather odd scene awaited you. All of the curtains had been drawn, blocking out the afternoon sunlight. "What's going on in here?" You sat down the items you had just purchased moments earlie
Bucky x Blind! Reader Ihr AlptraumBucky x Blind! Reader Ihr Alptraum Dedicated to the beautimous Irzombie334. (Name) sighed loudly when she awoke, the grogginess she felt in her body uncommon whenever she returned to the land of the living to start her day off. Whenever she did happen to feel off like she did then, it was because of two reasons; Either she set the alarm early and she'd gone to bed later than she was supposed to, or Bucky was hogging the sheets again. And seeing as her alarm wasn't blaring in her ear, she figured it must have been the latter. 'But wait...I still have my sheets.' She realized, feeling the smooth fabric that covered her body. She was about to ask what exactly woke her up then, but the bed suddenly jolted next to her, and the sound of Bucky groaning caught her attention. Immediately she rose up, turning to face him on her left (she'd learned to stay on the opposite side of his metal arm at all times), feeling around for his
No Woman's Land - Steve x Reader"Come on _____! You can do it!""I can't! Pepper please stop!" You complained."____ bend more! You gotta bend it! Bend it!""But Pepper-" you whined."No. Do it now!" she ordered."Yes Ms. Drill Sargent" you grumbled."What did you say?" You could practically see horns grow from her red head."I finished~"She "Hmpfed" and fixed her ponytail.Taking this as a sign to collapse, you feel down on the mat. "Ugh! Those 100 squats are a buzzkill!"She grinned, "If you want a fit body you gotta work for it""That's as bad as the saying, 'No pain, no gain'" You groaned."Exactly!"You put a hand to you face. Was it just you or did the lights become spinning circles?Pepper looked around until her eyes settled on the men, "You know for a private gym there seems to be an excessive amount of cute guys here&

Proper nutrition is important for your health, and ViSalus nutritional shakes from BodyByVi can help you achieve a proper balance for your nutritional needs. They can also help you to lose weight, since they begin with the very foundations of your dietary need.
ViSalus shakes contain a healthy blend of nutrients, fiber and protein, allowing you to cut back on calories while you still stay healthy. You'll feel just as satisfied as you would if you'd eaten a full meal. You'll also be cutting out trans fats and sodium, which are both harmful, and not a part of a truly balanced diet.
The flavor of sweet cream shakes will remind you of a cake mix, and they're easy to take with you, whenever you're on the go. It doesn't have to be difficult to lose weight while still giving your body the proper nutrition it needs. ViSalus shakes offer a quick meal with great nutritional value.
In order to prepare a meal shake, use two rounded scoops of shake mix and blend with soy milk or non-fat milk. Or you can mix one with water, for a quick protein snack. Blend in frozen or fresh fruits for extra nutrition and flavor. You'll want to try ViSalus Shape-Up Health Flavor mix-ins, too, since they give you added nutrition and great taste.
How can a shake help you to maintain your ideal weight, or even lose weight? For a maintenance level diet, drink one shake for breakfast and eat two healthy meals throughout the day. To cut back on calories without losing proper nutrition, use shakes for two meals each day, and eat sensible snacks and one light meal.
Comparing the shakes as made with soy milk, rice milk or non-fat milk and fruit, you'll see that this provides you with between 20 and 25 protein grams, a full fiber serving, prebiotics, calcium, minerals, vitamins, digestive enzymes and more, and they only have about 240 calories each.
If you compare this to a typical breakfast consisting of a cream cheese bagel, coffee and orange juice, you'll see how much lower in calories the ViSalus shakes are. Average breakfasts can http://trybodybyvi.net/wp-admin/post-new.phpquickly top 720 calories, and may even contain over 800 mg of sodium. You can fuel your body with a shake, and keep a healthy blood sugar level, while still losing weight.
If you don't eat anything for breakfast, your body has no fuel to start the day, so these shakes are perfect for people who hit the ground running in the morning. You don't want to slow your metabolism down by skipping breakfast – because then it will start burning fewer calories, since it perceives this as starving your body. ViSalus shakes give you energy to burn, without extra calories you don't need.

The City Council handed out several street rehabilitation projects as part of the 2013 Street Rehabilitation Project and east Sparks streets will get the focus to kick off the 2014 run. The project covers Glen Vista Drive from Howard Drive to William Morby Drive, Sage View Drive from O'Callaghan Drive to Robbie Way, Paisley Court, Sells Street from Thornton Street to Lincoln Way and Thornton Street from Sells Street to Lincoln Way.
The streets will receive removal and replacement as needed, for curbs, gutters, sidewalk and driveway approaches as well as new asphalt for all the streets. Spanish Springs Construction estimates 50 days to complete the work once construction begins. Jon Ericson, Transportation Manager for the City of Sparks, said the project will have 12 full-time employees on it.
The City Council also approved a five-year Temporary Construction Easement and Storm Drain Pipeline Easement with F&M Properties for the North Truckee Drain Realignment project. The City will pay $85,000 for the easement agreements during the five-year period.
City staff identified 12 individual property owners on 18 parcels of land that would be affected by the realignment project and appraisals have been, and are continuing to be, drawn up for the properties before project construction can begin.
John Martini, Assistant Community Services Director for the City of Sparks, said the city is in negotiations with the remaining property owners and he plans to present the rest of the easement proposals by the end of the month. He said the city will be eligible for some reimbursement through the flood control project, and possibly some federal funds, as a "ballpark estimate" of $1 million was made for all property appraisals.
BioSafe Systems, a family-owned manufacturer of biodegradable disease-control products, is expanding its business to include manufacturing with its distribution in Sparks, which will require the company to place a total of four 9,500-gallon tanks to hold hazardous materials.
BioSafe Systems, located on E. Glendale Avenue, obtained a special-use permit from the City of Sparks to house two tanks of acetic acid and two tanks hydrogen peroxide on its property. Karen Melby, Senior Planner for the City of Sparks, said the tanks will be filled weekly and will reside in a concrete containment area managed by the BioSafe Systems staff.
A representative for BioSafe Systems said Monday that the flashpoint of the materials was a concern during the Sparks Planning Commission's meeting and he added that no oxygen or ignition source would be present in the containment area to ignite the hazardous chemicals. He added that the acetic acid being housed there can be compared to diesel fuel in terms of safety and care of the tank, which Councilman Mike Carrigan said is comparable to the "tank farm" located in Sparks visible from I-80. The Council approved the special-use permit unanimously.
Sparks Police Chief Brian Allen accepted a grant funding, after approval from City Council, from the United States Department of Justice and the State of Nevada enforcing under-age drinking laws (EUDL) grant. The Justice Assistance Grant comes in partnership with the City of Reno and Washoe County and helps aid the needs of the criminal justice agency.
"We apply for the grant with City of Reno and Washoe County because as a whole we receive more than the City of Sparks would get on its own," Allen said.
The City of Sparks receives 20 percent of the grant funding, with Reno and Washoe County getting 40 percent each, which amounts to $28,951 that Allen said the Sparks Police Department will use for equipment purchases and officer training.
Allen said the EUDL grant funds amounted to $9,000 and will allow the SPD to conduct alcohol sale compliance checks as well as other law enforcement operations to reduce underage drinking.
The Sparks City Council also approved a series of labor agreements and employment resolutions today addressing among other items, compensation for city employees. Effective July 1, the City has restored the pay and benefit concessions that have been made of select employee bargaining groups and those not covered under labor agreements. Most of the City's bargaining groups and those employees not covered by bargaining agreements have conceded about 8 percent of their total wage and/or benefits since 2008.
The City has reached a stable position in its financial budgeting, but continues to work toward a sustainable budget.
The total cost of returning employee concessions equates to approximately $1.7 million in the city's General Fund. The funding will likely come from a combination of operational expenditure reductions, a lower ending fund balance in the new fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013, and other possible options as the city continues to undertake a systematic process becoming more innovative in an effort to reduce costs allowing the city to balance its budget for the 2013-2014 fiscal year.
"Our employees have made significant sacrifices over the last several years as we have battled the great recession," said City Manager Shaun Carey. "I am pleased the Mayor and City Council have agreed to support returning pay to our employees who have done far more with far less. However, today's actions do not signify the end of the City's fiscal challenges. We must continue to work toward a fiscally sustainable organization and look across the board for opportunities to reduce costs and innovate," he said.

I thought the idea was to decifer the puzzle, i.e. determine how the puzzle leads to the solution. Since I could not decifer the connection between the other pictures and the composer, I felt I had not performed the task adequately, and did not want to submit a 'partial'.
I generally don't solve Hal's either. I think I've only solved one, and that is because there were enough hints to make the answer obvious.
I recognized Stravinsky from his photo, so his connection with Prince Charles made me think of Prince Igor. Since I could no decifer Borodin's name from the rest, I figured I could be wrong about Prince Igor, and that, perhaps the clue was Prince Charles and Igor Stravinsky, and thus was coronation music for Charles IV.
As I've said, I'm no good at these things.

At one of the local golf courses I frequent, there is an open grass field next to the course. It is about eight acres in size and mowed regularly. It is permissible to hit golf balls there—you bring and shag our own balls. My golf colleagues and I spend hours there practicing, chatting and in general just wasting time.
One of the guys brings Ginger, the amazing, incredible, wonder dog.
Ginger is a Hungarian Vizlas (or Hungarian pointer). She chases squirrels, begs for snacks and supervises us closely to make sure we don't misbehave.
Anyway, I decided to make a dedicated web page to measure distances on the field in yards using online mapping services. I started with Google maps and then did the same application with Bing maps. It is a good way to become familiar with the APIs.
Here are images of the final two maps:
To start with online mapping services, you need to visit the respective websites and get a developers key.
I pared the code down to the minimum to make it easier to compare the APIs. Google maps required this CSS (or it wouldn't work):
<style type="text/css">
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=XXXXXXX&libraries=geometry&sensor=false" > </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=7.0"> </script>
Note: I use jQuery to manipulate the DOM elements which may be overkill, but I may add more stuff to this application and I didn't want to have to add it later. Plus, I really like jQuery.
Here is how the maps are created:
Common Code (the same for both Google and Bing Maps):
<script type="text/javascript">
var gTheMap;
var gMarker1;
var gMarker2;
function DocLoaded()
// golf course coordinates
var StartLat = 44.924254;
var StartLng = -93.366859;
// what element to display the map in
var mapdiv = $("#map_div")[0];
// where on earth the map should display
var StartPoint = new google.maps.LatLng(StartLat, StartLng);
// create the map
gTheMap = new google.maps.Map(mapdiv,
center: StartPoint,
zoom: 18,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
// place two markers
marker1 = PlaceMarker(new google.maps.LatLng(StartLat, StartLng + .0001));
marker2 = PlaceMarker(new google.maps.LatLng(StartLat, StartLng - .0001));
var StartPoint = new Microsoft.Maps.Location(StartLat, StartLng);
gTheMap = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(mapdiv,
credentials: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
mapTypeId: Microsoft.Maps.MapTypeId.aerial
marker1 = PlaceMarker(new Microsoft.Maps.Location(StartLat, StartLng + .0001));
marker2 = PlaceMarker(new Microsoft.Maps.Location(StartLat, StartLng - .0001));
Note: In the Bing documentation, mapTypeId: was missing from the list of options even though the sample code included it.
Note: When creating the Bing map, use the developer Key for the credentials property.
I immediately place two markers/pins on the map which is simpler that creating them on the fly with mouse clicks (as I first tried). The markers/pins are draggable and I capture the DragEnd event to calculate and display the distance in yards and draw a line when the user finishes dragging.
Here is the code to place a marker:
// ---- PlaceMarker ------------------------------------
function PlaceMarker(location)
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(
position: location,
map: gTheMap,
draggable: true
marker.addListener('dragend', DragEnd);
return marker;
var marker = new Microsoft.Maps.Pushpin(location,
draggable : true
Microsoft.Maps.Events.addHandler(marker, 'dragend', DragEnd);
Here is the code than runs when the user stops dragging a marker:
// ---- DragEnd -------------------------------------------
var gLine = null;
function DragEnd(Event)
var meters = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(marker1.position, marker2.position);
var yards = meters * 1.0936133;
$("#message").text(yards.toFixed(1) + ' yards');
// draw a line connecting the points
var Endpoints = [marker1.position, marker2.position];
if (gLine == null)
gLine = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: Endpoints,
strokeColor: "#FFFF00",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 2,
map: gTheMap
function DragEnd(Args)
var Distance = CalculateDistance(marker1._location, marker2._location);
$("#message").text(Distance.toFixed(1) + ' yards');
// draw a line connecting the points
var Endpoints = [marker1._location, marker2._location];
if (gLine == null)
gLine = new Microsoft.Maps.Polyline(Endpoints,
strokeColor: new Microsoft.Maps.Color(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0), // aRGB
strokeThickness : 2
Note: I couldn't find a function to calculate the distance between points in the Bing API, so I wrote my own (CalculateDistance). If you want to see the source for it, you can pick it off the web page.
Note: I was able to verify the accuracy of the measurements by using the golf hole next to the field. I put a pin/marker on the center of the green, and then by zooming in, I was able to see the 150 markers on the fairway and put the other pin/marker on one of them.
Final Notes:
All in all, the APIs are very similar. Both made it easy to accomplish a lot with a minimum amount of code.
In one aerial view, there are leaves on the tree, in the other, the trees are bare. I don't know which service has the newer data.
Here are links to working pages:
Bing Map Demo
Google Map Demo
I hope someone finds this useful.

Interesting article. Nicely done!
My only comment was: are you sure that Ginger is not a Vizsla?
Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised to see a Vizsla photo in my RSS feed.
You are correct, Ginger IS a Vizlas. The owner corrected me also. I updated the post with the correct information.
Here's your sympathy comment ;) I didn't realize (or forgot) there was a setting for 2 weeks on comments, I'll configure that as well.
"Sympathy comment" Nice. I too was getting sick of the SEO spammers trying to inject their crap URLs into our pages.

Illness & Conditions - Special Health Issues
High Cholesterol
What is high cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a type of fat (lipid) in your blood. Your cells need cholesterol , and your body makes all it needs. But you also get cholesterol from the food you eat.
If you have too much cholesterol, it starts to build up in your arteries. (Arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.) This is called hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis . It is usually a slow process that gets worse as you get older.
To understand what happens, think about how a clog forms in the pipe under a kitchen sink. Like the buildup of grease in the pipe, the buildup of cholesterol narrows your arteries and makes it harder for blood to flow through them. It reduces the amount of blood that gets to your body tissues, including your heart. This can lead to serious problems, including heart attack and stroke .
Your cholesterol is measured by a blood test:
What are the different kinds of cholesterol?
What are the symptoms?
High cholesterol doesn't make you feel sick. By the time you find out you have it, it may already be narrowing your arteries. So it is very important to start treatment even though you may feel fine.
What causes high cholesterol?
Many things can cause high cholesterol, including:
How is high cholesterol diagnosed?
You need a blood test to check your cholesterol. There are several kinds of tests:
How is it treated?
If you have high cholesterol, you need treatment to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. The two main treatments are lifestyle changes and medicine.
Some lifestyle changes are important for everyone with high cholesterol. Your doctor will probably want you to:
Changing old habits may not be easy, but it is very important to help you live a healthier and longer life. Having a plan can help. Start with small steps. For example, commit to adding one fruit or one vegetable a day for a week. Instead of having dessert, take a short walk.
If these lifestyle changes don't lower your cholesterol enough, or if your risk of heart attack is high, you may also need to take a cholesterol-lowering medicine, such as a statin. Knowing your heart attack risk is important, because it helps you and your doctor decide how to treat your cholesterol.
To find out your risk, use the Interactive Tool: Are You at Risk for a Heart Attack?
Health Tools
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Frequently Asked Questions
High cholesterol can be caused by:
High cholesterol does not cause symptoms. It is usually found during a blood test that measures cholesterol levels.
Some people with rare lipid disorders may have symptoms such as bumps in the skin, hands, or feet, which are caused by deposits of extra cholesterol and other types of fat.
What Happens
Having high cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaque in artery walls. This buildup is called atherosclerosis. It can lead to coronary artery disease (CAD), heart attack , stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) , and peripheral arterial disease .
Atherosclerosis can cause these problems because it:
For more information, see:
What Increases Your Risk
Some things that increase your risk for high cholesterol are things you can change, but some are not. It's important to lower your risk as much as possible.
Things you can change include:
Each of these things can raise your LDL, lower your HDL, or both.
Things you cannot change include:
For more information, see Cause.
When to Call a Doctor
High cholesterol usually has no symptoms. Sometimes the first sign that you have high cholesterol or other risk factors for heart disease is a heart attack, a stroke, or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) . If you have any symptoms of these, call 911 or other emergency services.
Heart attack symptoms include:
After you call 911, the operator may tell you to chew 1 adult-strength or 2 to 4 low-dose aspirin. Wait for an ambulance. Do not try to drive yourself.
Nitroglycerin. If you typically use nitroglycerin to relieve angina and if one dose of nitroglycerin has not relieved your symptoms within 5 minutes, call 911. Do not wait to call for help.
Women's symptoms. For men and women, the most common symptom is chest pain or pressure. But women are somewhat more likely than men to have other symptoms like shortness of breath, nausea, and back or jaw pain.
Stroke and TIA symptoms include:
Who to see
Any of the following doctors, nurses, or specialists can order a cholesterol test and treat high cholesterol:
A registered dietitian can help you with a diet to lower your cholesterol.
People who have rare lipid disorders , which can be hard to treat, may need to see a specialist, such as a lipidologist or an endocrinologist.
Exams and Tests
A blood test tells you if you have high cholesterol.
What do your cholesterol numbers mean?
Your numbers help your doctor know your risk of getting heart disease or having a heart attack or stroke.
Your total cholesterol level is important. But your levels of LDL, HDL, and triglycerides help your doctor decide if you need treatment for high cholesterol. Your doctor will also consider your overall health and your risk of heart attack. For more information, see the topic High Cholesterol Treatment Guidelines Based on Heart Attack Risk.
To learn about the results and numbers for cholesterol tests, see the topic Cholesterol and Triglyceride Tests.
Total cholesterol
Your total cholesterol number shows if your cholesterol is too high.
If you have high cholesterol, your doctor will want to know your LDL and HDL levels before deciding whether you need treatment and what sort of treatment you need.
LDL (bad) cholesterol
You want your LDL level to be low. But how low your LDL should be depends on your risk of heart attack.
Your doctor will help decide what your LDL goal is. The higher your risk of heart attack, the lower your LDL goal.
HDL (good) cholesterol
You want your HDL level to be high. An HDL level of 60 or higher is linked to a lower risk of heart disease. A high HDL number also can help offset a high LDL number.
Your risk level
When you visit your doctor to talk about your cholesterol test, you will talk about other things that increase your risk for heart problems. These include:
If your risk is high, or if you already have heart problems, your doctor will be more likely to prescribe medicine along with lifestyle changes.
To find out your risk for a heart attack, see the Interactive Tool: Are You at Risk for a Heart Attack?
Other tests
When to have a cholesterol test
Most doctors recommend that everyone older than 20 be checked for high cholesterol. How often you need to be checked depends on whether you have other health problems and your overall chance of heart disease.
Your child's doctor may suggest a cholesterol test based on your child's age, family history, or a physical exam. A cholesterol test can help a doctor find out early if your child has a cholesterol level that could affect his or her health.
For more information, see:
Treatment Overview
The goal in treating high cholesterol is to reduce your chances of having a heart attack or stroke.
The two types of treatment for high cholesterol are:
Lifestyle changes
Your doctor may suggest that you make one or more of the following changes:
For more information, see Making Lifestyle Changes.
Many people try lifestyle changes first. But if lifestyle changes aren't enough to reach your cholesterol goal, you will need to take medicine too. Even if you take medicine for high cholesterol, keeping healthy lifestyle habits is still important.
Some people need to start taking medicine right away because their risk of heart attack is higher than average. Your doctor will base your need for medicine on your risk level.
Once you know your risk for heart attack, you can learn more about treatment for your risk level.
You may also need treatment for other health problems, such as high blood pressure.
A heart-healthy lifestyle can help you prevent high cholesterol. This includes:
Heart-healthy diets include the Mediterranean diet and the American Heart Association diet recommendations. This chart compares several heart-healthy diets (What is a PDF document?) .
Some people may not be able to prevent high cholesterol with lifestyle changes. Family history or certain conditions that cause the body to make too much cholesterol can raise levels even with lifestyle changes. In these cases, medicine can help.
Remember that high cholesterol is just one of the things that increase your risk for heart attack and stroke. Controlling other health problems, such as high blood pressure and diabetes , can also help reduce your overall risk.
Making Lifestyle Changes
Lifestyle changes are important to help control high cholesterol, especially if you have other risk factors for heart disease and stroke .
Even if your doctor has prescribed medicine for you, you may still need to make changes at home to lower your cholesterol and reduce your risk. Some people can even take less medicine after making these changes.
What changes do you need to make?
Make these lifestyle changes to help lower your cholesterol:
Eat healthy foods
Making healthy eating habits a part of your daily life is one of the best things you can do to lower your cholesterol. Your doctor may recommend that you follow the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet . The diet's main focus is to reduce the amount of saturated fat you eat, because saturated fat raises your cholesterol.
If you have questions about which diet to follow, talk to your doctor.
For more information about food and high cholesterol, see:
Lose extra weight
Losing just 5 lb to 10 lb (2.3 kg to 4.5 kg) can lower your cholesterol. Losing weight can also help lower your blood pressure.
For help, see:
Get active
Regular physical activity raises "good" HDL cholesterol. Getting active has many other benefits too. It can help you lose weight. And it can lower your blood pressure.
For tips, see:
Don't smoke
Quitting can help raise your HDL and improve your heart health. "Good" HDL levels often go up soon after a person quits smoking.
For more information, see:
If high cholesterol runs in your family, these lifestyle changes may not be enough. You may need to take medicine too. But no matter what treatment you use, you can lower your high cholesterol.
How do you make lifestyle changes?
You can learn simple steps to help you make lifestyle changes, like setting goals. Work on one small goal at a time. Expect slip-ups. Get support from others. Reward yourself for each success. To find out more about making healthy lifestyle changes, see Change a Habit by Setting Goals.
When changing a lifestyle habit, barriers can sometimes get in your way. Figuring out what those barriers are and how you can get around them can help you reach your healthy eating goals.
For help, see:
Statins are the medicines used the most often to treat high cholesterol, and they often work the best. They can reduce the risk for heart attack, stroke, and early death in people who are at high risk for a heart attack or stroke. Other medicines also lower cholesterol, and some may be used to lower triglycerides or raise HDL .
Doctors may also prescribe aspirin therapy if you have had a heart attack or a stroke, or you have a high risk for heart attack or stroke.
Do you need to take medicine? That depends. The decision to use medicine to treat high cholesterol is usually based on your cholesterol goal, LDL level, and your risk for heart attack and stroke.
Medicine is always used along with a diet and exercise plan, not instead of it.
You and your doctor will decide if you will take medicine for high cholesterol.
For more information, see:
Medicine choices
The following medicines can be used to lower LDL and triglyceride levels in the blood and to raise HDL.
Take your medicines properly
Some people find it hard to take their medicines properly. If you do take medicine, it is important to use it the right way.
Some people don't see why they should take medicines every day when they don't feel sick. High cholesterol doesn't make you feel sick. But it's important to treat it, because it damages your blood vessels and eventually your heart, even though you don't have symptoms.
Some side effects are more likely and may be worse when you use higher doses of statins. If you're having side effects, tell your doctor. You may be able to take a different medicine or a different dose.
For more information, see:
Be sure to tell your doctor everything you take for high cholesterol, even herbs or other supplements or treatments. Sometimes they can interact with other medicines and cause problems.
If you have trouble taking your medicine for any reason, talk to your doctor.
Other Treatment
Some plant products can help lower high cholesterol. But don't use them to replace your doctor's treatment. Whether or not you use such products, be sure to continue your diet, exercise, and prescription medicines.
As with any new form of treatment, make sure to talk with your doctor first. This is especially important if you take statins. Combining statins and some supplements can cause dangerous side effects.
Psyllium is an ingredient in some dietary supplements—Metamucil, for example. It's a fiber from fleawort and plantago seeds.
Doctors aren't sure how it helps cholesterol levels. It may make the small intestine absorb less cholesterol, so less of it enters your blood.
Psyllium is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The main side effect is increased bowel movements. Products containing psyllium aren't recommended to replace foods as a source of fiber.
Sterol or stanol esters
Sterol and stanol esters are used in cholesterol-lowering margarine spreads.
Sterol esters might limit how much cholesterol the small intestine can absorb. Cholesterol-lowering margarines can help lower cholesterol levels, particularly in people who have high cholesterol levels or who consume too much fat in their diets. These margarines are used along with a healthy diet to lower cholesterol.
Red yeast rice
Red yeast rice contains a natural form of lovastatin, a statin medicine. This supplement may keep your body from producing too much cholesterol. But this supplement can cause dangerous side effects.
Talk to your doctor before you try red yeast rice. Serious side effects include rhabdomyolysis and hepatitis. Red yeast rice is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so you cannot be sure of the amount of red yeast in a supplement. This means you cannot be sure of its dose and safety.
If you take red yeast rice, call your doctor right away if you have a bad reaction to it such as severe muscle pain or symptoms of hepatitis .
Do not take red yeast supplements if you are taking statins. Combining them can cause dangerous side effects.
Not recommended for lowering cholesterol

These guys are it!! – Well we've pretty much had a wild few months getting our new home in order, but we are finally starting to enjoy & relax. Just like everything worthwhile it does take some serious attention. Can I say something about Mr. Michael Christon (it's pronounced Chris..ton, emphasis on ton.) these guys are AMAZING, AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, A DELIGHT, A PLEASURE & so PROFESSIONAL. So akeen to details, like taking off their shoes when entering your home, being nice to your pets, respecting your home as if it were theirs, being knowledgeable on all the new equipment and returning calls right away. We've had so many service guys in the past few months (Landscapers, floor guys, window cleaners, kitchen men etc..) these guys take the #1 spot. I wish they were all like this. Michael should also teach a course to other businesses about the proper way to treat your valued customers. I have to say we went totally in, from TV's to 7 station whole house surround system, everytime we listened and played with the new system, we wanted more. We are waiting for the arrrival of a front door intercom system and will most probably add a music station to the entry/garden area. We are so happy and impressed with our all system. I can't see how anyone cannot have MAJOR, I mean MAJOR music going on. Music soothes the soul, it makes you sing, smile and dance.I'm sure that Michael and his crew perform the same level on every job from a TV install, computer repair, to having it all. I am seriously filled with joy to HIGHLY recommend Mr. Michael Chris..ton/ Advanced Home Entertainment and happy to welcome them into our family.
Any questions, any recs you may contact me directly.

Extremely Reliable – Very Responsive. From beginning to end every phone call and email was answered. They took the time to work with me and put together a proposal that met my needs and price range.
Our project was executed properly by the team of professionals that not only did a great job, but respected my home.
Advanced team followed up to make sure that all the equipment was working properly. I trust this company and would absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking to have work performed in their home.
Experts in Home Music/Technology Installation – Michael Christon of Advanced Home Entertainment completely lives up to (and surpasses) the services agreed upon in his companies' contract. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in all past and current AV equipment functioning required to build/update a home entertainment system that works best for needs/preferances, he is extremly skilled at trouble shooting any problems.....an excellent instructor as far as how to used your system...and very accountable in terms of promptly responding to questions once the initial installation is complete/any issues arise. This company deserves the highest rating that can be given to a service of this type....highly recommend!!!
Exceptional Service – Advanced Home Entertainment overcame huge barriers in my new building to wire my apartment for stereo, computer, TV and related AV. They are pros.. with an amazing commitment to the customer. I'm thrilled with the results, and pleased that I had their help in my new place. Pricing was reasonable and the service was over the top.
Top notch media & entertainment team – We just had to write and tell you how very impressed we were with the job you did for us and the incredible support you continue to provide. Our project was not an easy one, and on top of the complicated systems we desired, you also had to work around our contractors schedule and timing. AHE?s work is impeccable, professional and timely. We are very pleased with the results and relationship we have with AHE.
"We were really lucky to have found Michael and his staff. The AHE team has been there for us from the very beginning. I would use them again, and a hand shake is all I need from Michael. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a job well done, and a fair price.

I recently used advanced home for the second time to hang a new flatscreen tv above my fireplace. they did a great job. the job was at our new house, which was built a year ago. all the work was professionally finished, and we could even tell when the wiring went? everything was painted and closed up like they werent even there. I will definately use them again when we put up more flatscreens.
Fantastic attention to detail -- highly recommended! – These guys are extraordinary -- the level of care they showed in setting up our home entertainment center was above and beyond the call of duty. I'm picky about the details: Not only were they neat and clean, protecting the floors, furniture, etc., but they pointed out and attended to details I wouldn't have even noticed. For example, when drilling a hole in the entertainment unit, they stained the inside of the hole to match the rest of the unit so the raw wood wouldn't show -- and the hole was behind our wall-mounted television. A highly recommended and reliable team. Would gladly use them again.
Reliable and Spectacular Company for your Entertainment Needs – I would strongly recommend Advanced Home Entertainment as your go-to company for any of your entertainment needs. Michael Christon installed my plasma tv, assisted with any tv problems I had and fixed any computer issues I have had, from technical issues to wiring issues. He is extremely meticulous and honest with products and prices. He's prompt, is always available for any questions and his work product is spectacular. Use Advanced Home Entertainment and you will not be disappointed!
Excellent work and service – I highly recommend AHE for anyone in the market for a new home entertainment system. I purchased a new 50 inch plasma flat screen, receiver, etc., directly through AHE at great prices, and they came to my apartment in Hoboken, NJ and installed and hooked up everything, including mounting the TV on the wall above the fireplace and did a perfect job. They even synced up all the components for me on one remote!

LONDON, Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- They have sold around the world in the millions. Now, the 15 explosive novels from No.1 global bestseller Andy McNab are available to American readers for the first time, thanks to a new tie-up with Apostrophe Books.

The all-action Nick Stone missions follow a former top soldier in Britain's elite fighting unit, the SAS. These days Stone is a mercenary and ultra-secret deniable agent, facing down danger in some of the world's most terrifying trouble spots for the likes of the CIA and their British counterparts, MI6.
The first novel, Remote Control, sees Stone on the trail of two terrorists in Washington, DC, when he discovers the bodies of a former Special Forces colleague and his family. Soon, he's on the run from professional killers with the only survivor of the bloodbath – a seven-year-old girl.
For the stories, author McNab draws on his real-life experiences working for SF and intelligence services both sides of the Atlantic. McNab, who went on to become the UK's most highly-decorated soldier, led an undercover patrol behind enemy lines during the first Gulf War, before being captured and tortured. His account of the incredible true story, Bravo Two Zero, has sold more than 5 million copies and been translated into 16 languages.
One of its true-life follow-ups, Seven Troop – a gripping account of McNab's days in the SAS's death-defying Air Troop, often working hand-in-glove with Delta, SEALs and the CIA – is also now available in the US thanks to the Apostrophe Books deal.
Packed with all the authentic insider details and tradecraft that has become the author's signature, the books are available to download for e-readers, including all Kindle and iBookstore devices. For links and more information, visit www.apostrophebooks.com/mcnab.

The last man was scooting out of the Bicycle Kitchen when Emerald Tutwiler arrived for "Bicycle Bitchen" on Monday night. The east Hollywood repair cooperative sets an evening aside for an all-female group of mechanics and their clients to work on bikes without men around.
The former Filipino bakery near Fountain and Virgil avenues, which the co-op purchased earlier this year, is fronted by a concrete yard full of used bikes awaiting owners. The bakery sign reading Sapin-Sapin (Rice Cakes) is still there, along with the logo Bicycle Kitchen and, in Spanish, Bici Cocina.
Inside, the walls are hung with cone wrenches, clamps and other tools clearly labeled and outlined in black, like the dead bodies on TV shows. The bicycle mechanics, all volunteers, and the other women arrived after work, mostly on their bikes. They were dressed in sports jerseys and caps, leggings, ankle boots and Chuck Taylors. One "cook," as the mechanics call themselves, had Heidi braids wrapped around her head and an apron over her bright yellow embroidered peasant shirt.
They stood talking and laughing over their bikes and "wrenching," as they called it: screwing nuts tight or unraveling bike chains. The talk was of guys who try to hit on you during rides. Guys who treat you as if you're stupid. Guys who invite you on a ride, then leave you in the dust in a testosterone-fueled flurry.
Tutwiler, a music engineering student at Los Angeles City College, cycles from her home in Leimert Park to her job at an art studio in Eagle Rock. Her bike is "pretty much my car," she said. The "cooks" don't just work on bikes; they teach the owners how to fix them.
On a usual night, men far outnumber women at the co-op. But the women's night is not crowded. And the price is right. A whole bike, built from used frames and parts, mostly donated, can be had for $80; if you're broke, you can work off what you owe. Bicycle Bitchen recently put a homeless woman from skid row onto a set of wheels, and helps Latino immigrants who use their bikes for work.
One woman around my age was putting a custom-fit bike together with the help of a female cook. Reba Devine lives in the South Bay neighborhood of Del Aire, near Hawthorne, with her daughter, son-in-law and grandson (by choice, not economic necessity).
"I really wanted to be able to put the bike together. That's how you really learn," she said. Besides, her old bike aggravated her bad back. Doctors said she should quit riding, but she ignored them.
Devine described herself as a old hippie who retired from her job as a data analyst at a bank. She always wanted to fix her bike, but her generation was told to leave it to Dad or take it into the shop.
"Guys have a tendency to take over and assume you're stupid, even well-meaning ones," she said.
On the other side of the room, Jessica Ruvalcaba and her friend Jenni LiPetra sorted through derailleurs, cylindrical nuts and other used parts piled inside beat-up filing cabinets.
LiPetra's bike flew off a truck at 3 a.m. on the way back from Burning Man. Ruvalcaba gave her an old bike to use, but it needed work.
"So should I carry a wrench with me?" LiPetra asked.
"No, we should find a fix," Ruvalcaba replied.
The pair owe their friendship to cycling. LiPetra, newly transplanted from Chicago, was riding around downtown when Ruvalcaba rode past and said, 'Hey, nice bike.' Later that day they ran into each other at a bead warehouse in the fashion district.
"I thought, 'Who are you? Can we be friends?'" Ruvalcaba said.
Ruvalcaba lives in east Hollywood — "I like to call it west Silver Lake" — and commutes by bike to her job at a commercial casting office in West Los Angeles. It takes 50 minutes to an hour, about the same as by car in traffic.
Most of the women have been "tapped," "doored" or otherwise struck by motorists, but are pretty macha about it. They talked of the adrenaline of dodging cars as if it was fun.
Ruvalcaba and LiPetra attended a movie premiere on their bikes. They go on group rides that end in house parties with cheap beer and DJs. One of them chatted about a recent outing: "They said it was DMX's house, but I don't know if that was true." There's a full-moon ride by a group called the Ovarian Psycos Cycle Brigade that sounded fun. But neither had tried it yet.
It all sounded so adventurous and romantic. On a bike, Los Angeles is not such a big place. It's being stuck in traffic that makes it monolithic, imprisoning.
Ruvalcava tried to talk LiPetra into taking a year-long bike trip from Los Angeles to the tip of Argentina.
"We'll do stealth camping," Ruvalcaba said. "What else am I going to do here, complain another year about actors and producers?"
But LiPetra is trying to launch her own clothing line. And she's in love.
Most of the bikes and bike parts are donated to the Bicycle Kitchen by people who want to upgrade their wheels or find fixing them too much of a hassle. But, said one volunteer, most of them "just think what we do is really cool."

Everything you need to understand or teach Ordinary People by Judith Guest.
Written by Judith Guest, Ordinary People was first published in 1976 by the Viking Press, Inc.
Ordinary People is the story of a family in Illinois that has for years given people the impression that they are the perfect American family. However, there are dangerous flaws that even the three main characters aren't aware of until the youngest son tries to commit suicide. Driven by his guilt over the death of his brother in a boating accident just a year prior, Conrad Jarrett, age sixteen at the time, cuts his wrists. His father finds him in time, and his parents have him committed to a hospital to try to work through his issues.
The story begins shortly after Conrad returns from the hospital, and he is having a difficult time adjusting. At school, he's a year behind his friends. He had been a top member of the swim team...
Ordinary People Lesson Plans contain 109 pages of teaching material, including:

Good Friday Warriors,
Got my HIIT X 2. Done. Today is day off tomorrow kettle bell class and going to mom's she will be getting her new couch delivered so I will be there with my sister making sure all goes well. Julie is doing extremely well with her training so proud of her.This weekend I will put my best foot forward and complete the kitchen reno. This really needs to get done. I'm not much of a handyman but should be able to see this through.
Sounds like a plan. My mom is a walker too which in her current condition is like a double edge sword. Physical ability is great mentally she may not be able to find her way back home. Plus side is she doesn't go out when it's dark yet. Congrats on the deadlifts. Great job. Awsome weight too.
We are training for this. I do early am wo's then go back after work with the kids. Right now I'm doing Julie's run/walk program with her. I just up my speed. So it's walk for 3min.run for 1 min. for 30 with 5 min cooldown. Then core training with her. That's the hard part. She hates to stretch but I make her do it anyway. She will thank me later.lol.
Sounds like lots of water on the menu for you with the heat. Have a great 20 miler on Sat. you have this slow and steady all the way especially in that heat.
Have a great long weekend Warriors,
Get those wo's in no looking back full steam ahead.
Just wanted to wish all of you and your families a wonderful & safe holiday.
Delaney is sick, so we won't be doing much. But, I have started my pre-fall cleaning and the house is in shambles!!! Better get back to it.
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
Greetings Fellow warriors, Sorry for the long pause in posts, just waiting till I had some time to check in with everyone. BDMOM" I hope the little one is doing better now and feeling well. How is the cleaning going? ParsonBrown: How are ya doin. Some serious lifting from the sounds of it. I plan to hit the free weights early next week again, after some delays and upsets in the household with the passing of our family dog we had for 12 years, she will be sorely missed by all of us in the family. Claude: Thanks for the updates and it sounds like your program is really moving along with your goals. Have you ever watched that guy in the morning that repairs the houses, he might be able to help with some of the projects you have planned. By the way did anyone see Dr Phil last week, Dr Life (a former BFL Champ) has written a new book and was previewing it on the show, I caught only the end and recognized him as one of our former winners. How is everyone else doing this week? I still hold my Free Day as Tuesday but I am managing to do a lot of my workouts in the AM before work and on my days off. Seem to get better results that way to and I'm fired up for the day that way at work. Has anyone heard from Taz lately? Hope all is going better with him nowadays. Island dude , Runner MOm and 2Conquer, thanks for your updates and info in the past month. Keep in touch fellow warriors and Keep Moving Forward!!!
Good evening warriors!
Sorry I havent logged in but this week has been very busy with work. Running is on track and I survived the 20 miles Saturday!! I am recovered and ran 4 strong miles yesterday. I just did my UBWO and felt good since I missed out last week.
WP, so very sorry about your dog. I know how hard this loss is since I lost my 13 yr old lab last year. My thoughts are with you and your family. I missed that Dr Phil. Cool.
BD, hope your daughter is better now and the WOs keep going on strong. You are making awesome progress. How are classes going?
Claude, how did the reno on kitchen go? Its awesome you guys are doing the 5K together and training together. It can get addictive, at least it has for me.
Cuervo, Staats, Runnermom, islandD...Where are you?? Hope you are going strong!!
Have a great night!
Happy Sunday Warrirors!!!
Heading to church, grocery store, home to prep food for the week, then laundry, house cleaning.....etc...such is my rest day....lol.
Hope you all have a great day and a rockin week ahead!!!
Hey Warriors,
I was sick last week so kitchen didn't get done but on the up side the enrty way did. New floor so something got done. This weekend closed the pool as it won't get hot enough to use it even if we hit high temps. The water just takes too long to warm up. I missed a few wo's last week that's just the way it is sometimes. Didn't bother to wake up and hit the gym this am. Will be there tonight after work with Julie. I really need to catch up my log book haven't been doing such a good job with that. Will do that today at lunch then I will know where I'm at for wo's. Managed to get to Kettle Bell Class on sat. our instructer just really enjoys kicking our butt. Warmup was 7 min. of burpee pushups with a vertical jump at the end. The goal is to do 100 in that time. Do 15 then 10sec. break if you need it lol. Until you hit 100 or 7 min. Then we did Turkish Get Up with 2 kb one in each hand the goal was for 15. I managed about 4 with an 8 kg bell in each hand. 20 Clean and press 20 kg. Then we did 25 hard rolls look it up on google tooo hard to explain. very hard to do. She is getting us ready for the Kristy Challenege which is 100 x at least 4 different execises that she decides on. This will happen in a couple of weeks. So I need to step up my game to be able to keep up with this challenge. I'm the oldest one in the class so need to show what the old guy can do for the youngsters. We have a good mix of girls and boys so its always fun. One of the young girls did 56 burpees in 7 min. I did 45 so not lagging to far behind her. My goal is to get to at least 100 in 7 min. my personal challenge. Its all about breathing and pacing.
So sorry about you and youyr family losing the dog. Its always hard. Glad you stopped by. Go get at it like always.
Glad you survived yor 20 miler. I know how addicting running can be that's what I'm counting on for these kids of mine. Here's a little family history. My grandfather ran the Ottawa Marathon in the 50's he came in 3rd or 4th and his picture was in the french news papper. So its in the genes this running thing. When I was younger I went out with my grade 8 school track and field class for one training session before the race. I wanted the day off school with my friends so we forged our parents signature on a note and went with the team. I actually went the next morning with the team to the race and came in 4th out of 20 paticipants from my school and other schools in the city. I beat my friend who was training for months and he told me he was going to beat me lol. Never happened.He was one of those braggers. My gym teacher was impressed with my running couldn't beleive how I did. So I guess if I took it serious then I could have done better.Now at 56 I am running with the kids go figure.lol
Hope Delaney's feeling better even though the Cards lost.
Everyone else get back here we need to hear from ya.
Lets make it happen this week.
Hi Warriors!! Its been a very busy last few days but wanted to check in.
Claude, glad you are better now! Are you catching up on your log book? So important to plan. I got to do better myself at that. I planned on hitting the weights yesterday when I got home and got distracted by my husband sitting outside on deck chilling after work and watching for deer. So, didnt get to the weights :( Awesome family and personal running history! So, its in your blood.
BDMom, hope your daughter is feeling better and that the WOs are going strong.
Cuervo, Parson, CStaats, IslandD, WP, Runnermom, everyone else: Check in soon!!
I did 12 miles Saturday and I realized that I need a bit of time to let my leg muscles recover from the 20 mile run. This week I will slow down and shorten my miles to let some healing happen. This is VERY TOUGH for me but I need to do it. Today will be ~ 3miles and some walking if necessary.
Have a great day!
Log book is caught up now to keep it that way. I don't like to put all my wo's in. As that sometimes changes due to energy level and other things like life. lol So what i do that day is what I log.
Thanks yes I am feeling better not qiute 100% but good enough to wo. Did UBWO at lunch yesterday and did run/walk with my daughter she is really pushing hard now. I think a little too hard. When you start holding onto the sides of the TM.. But what do I know she doesn't want to back down even .1 on speed so let her rip I guess no talking to her when she is like that. She sets a goal and goes for it. So stubborn must get that from her mom.lol. I had fun she is still thinking its work. We even did a 45 min ab wo and 15 stretching. I was done after that.
That's too bad you missed your wo, but had quality time with hubby. Glad you got your run in and servived the 20 miler.
C'mon guys start checking in. We all need to be here to make this work.
Time for an Awsome day Warriors
Cuervo is here!! I apologize for not being accountable on here. It actually slipped my mind. I have been slammed recently and just haven't had a free minute. Still forging ahead with workouts and making the progress I want. Haven't ran for a week due to knee issues, but that is better now so I will start again but be smarter about things and not think I am a gazelle on my second week. Haha. Workouts are great.
I am on my phone so can't really go back and read posts. I will check in again later. Have a great weekend.
Claude, remind me when I don't post. Gotta get into the habit again.
Good weekend Warriors!!
Great to hear from you Cuervo! You got us restarted here so check when you can. Take care of those knees when running. I have been using the knee bands and they help me tons.
I did only 6 miles today in beautiful weather (50s). The only issue now is my calf is bothering me :( I am icing, taking ibuprofen, and using compression socks. Also new shoes. So, I am hoping it heals soon or I will be very very sad. Runnermom, any other things I can try? Have you dealt with this before. I am also going to try some Magnesium potassium supplements to get the muscle in shape.
Hope you are all having a great weekend!!
Hi Warriors!
Claude: I just can't see getting here more than once a week or so. I am on MFP so much because I have the app and it's easy to use on my phone, but I am gone so much and I really only like to post here when I am home on my home computer. I can do MFP in between classes, when on the stairclimber at the gym, when sitting in car waiting for kids to get out of school, etc...sorry I haven't been more consistent!! You have been doing great; keep up those workouts & keep logging those foods!!!
2C: Did the pain start after getting the new shoes?? That could be it. Is your marathon in November?? Hot epsom salt baths are great!!! I am envious of that gorgeous weather. We are still around 108-110 this week, and then I think we will be dropping into the 90's.
Cuervo: Hope your knees are feeling better. You've been doing great. Keep it up!!!
We had an eventful weekend. For those of you who don't already know...we found a pair of mating rattlesnaks in our dog's yard. This is a gated off area, and we have never had a rattlesnake in there in the 13 yrs we have lived here. We have small dogs, and one bite would do them in, so I am glad my husband found them before the dogs did. It was tricky to get them since there were two and they can strike the distance of their body. Kids had lots of activities, so I did a lot of running. I spend whatever time I could yesterday getting food prepped for the week. Workouts are still going well. I had a horrible weekend with eating, but back on track today!!!!
Hope you all have a fantastic week!!!!
Sorry it has been so long! My new job is the busiest I have ever been in my life! I'm really hoping things slow down over the next month or so. Plus my kids' football practices and games are all-consuming each week. I know we are all busy, so I will stop complaining now!
2C: FOAM ROLLER!!!! That is the best thing for your calf (and for any muscle bothering you!). The calf rolling on the foam roller is super easy and really works. I am really enjoying my runs on the weekend with my running group. I did 9 miles on Saturday and it felt great! I love getting up to the longer distances. Our weather is still extremely HOT, but I am hoping it will get at least a little cooler soon!
BD: My eating was pretty terrible over the weekend too. I am very disappointed since I was very clean all week and felt great. Now I feel sluggish again today and my stomach bothered me too! I have to get back on track with my eating. I know a lot of it is the stress from my new job, but I need to be stronger than my stress!!! I absolutely HATE snakes! I always wonder why God made snakes and wasps.....my 2 biggest fears!
Cuervo: I have been absent here too, but I know how busy we all are. Check in when you can. I know you are killing it!
WP: I will have to look up the book by Dr. Life. I love to read!
Claude: Hope all is going well with workouts and food. You are very consistent with your postings here and on MFP! Way to go!
Parson, Island, Taz, Grandpa, and anyone else I might have missed, I think about the Warriors all the time, so keep on keeping on!!!!
Have a great week!
Greetings devoted Fellow Warriors, Sorry, I haven't been so responsive but our WDW Learning center has been down for rehab this week and I am at the public library now entering this one. BDMOM" I am glad that Delaney is ok now and hope that your schedule is not so hectic that you can complete all your goals this month and further on this year. I was a bit shocked about the snakes but I am glad they didn't get your pets or family, they are some truly nasty critters. Cuervo: Glad to hear from you and that all is going a little better for ya.Let us know how things are currently in your efforts. We all hope that Taz is doing well in his health challenge and that he will be back with us all soon. We are all in his winning corner. Runnermom: Lots of races and k's here in Otown this month. Too bad that isn't my thing anymore since I left the US Army, they kind of messed up my feet and knees for any serious running efforts and I'd honestly rather bike than run nowadays or just run on the treadmill(dreadmill) once a week and up the time and incline slowly. Parson, and Grandpa and Island Dude, be sure to update us all here about your challenges and progress currently, We await news from y'all. 2c: Thanks for all the updates and inspiration from your accomplishments. I will most likely be going back to free weights next week and trying out a new stack of supps plus the EAS RTD's and Zone Perfect bars (Superdrive(Gaspari), Carnivore (beef isolate), Glow and MYo-X). Let you know when that happens, already have a new journal ready to go with the first workout in it. (5 days of weights a week and I'all add some cardion as well). Well enough for now got to login at myfitnesspal as well before my hour is up here. Keep Moving Forward y'all!!!!!
Good morning warriors!!
Thanks for the advice BDMom and runnermom! My new shoes are the same and I didnt use them for long run yet so I think they will help. I feel a huge difference already. I have a pin roller but I have not been very good using it. So, I have to add that to routine. I saw a PT and she told me that my hips are the problem (weak). She had me do 1 leg squats and my right knee goes in big time. Pretty clear. So, I am adding hip strengthening exercises too. The calf is better but will be very careful since I have 23 miles Saturday and a half marathon the 28th. I will take it easy on both as training. And, walk as I need to. I am not that proud:)
WP, looks like you are ready with new journal and the supplements!!
BD, hate hate snakes!! I am login in more often on MFP since I got the app. Your meals are incredible! Keep up the great work!
Runnermom, hope the new job slows down for you. Way to go on the long run!
Cuervo, I hope the knee heals and you can get back to running training. You owe me that 5K!! I use the knee bands from Walgreens and they help me a lot to stabilize the knee.
Claude, hope all is ok. Sending you my thoughts and prayers.
Everyone else, have an awesome day!
Weekly update- not so good on workouts. Doing what I can, when I can. Knee is better so far. Back in my younger days (a long, long time ago) I had a bruised meniscus or something like that. This was exactly the same as remember. I did a longer and faster attempt. Must have been the pounding on my cartilage from being out of shape. I think that I am so much better than I really am and push it too far. Anyway, you live and learn.
Glad you all are doing well. I am nearly 1 month in and haven't made alot of scale progress but am feeling great. Continuing improvement is what I am after. Have a great weekend.

Bubble Guppies weekdays @ 11:00 AM ET on NICK
Place the hot dogs and 1 cup of water to a boil in a small skillet. Cook, turning the hot dogs until heated through and the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer one of the hot dogs to a clean work surface. Cut the hot dog crosswise into eight 1/2 inch slices. Trim each slice at an angle on either side to make the ears. Use a trimmed piece for the tails of each dog.
Make small slits one either side of one end of the remaining hot dogs for the ears and one slit at the opposite end on top for the tail. Insert the larger hot dog slices, small end in, for the ears and the small trimmed piece for the tail. (You may need to remove some of the hot dog in the slits to fit in the ears.)
Microwave the scallions for 15 seconds to soften. Wrap one green part of scallion around the head end of hot dog and add another longer piece as the leash. Place the hot dog in the roll. Squeeze some dots of ketchup and mustard as the eyes and dots on the dog. Serve with fresh fruit and veggies. Optional: serve with cherry tomatoes and apple slices.

Latoya Dixon, 28, reportedly used her 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV to strike an 18-year old Hobson City woman who was six months pregnant, causing injuries to the woman's legs, according to Chief Deputy Matthew Wade of the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office.
Wade said the victim was taken to Regional Medical Center by a private vehicle Wednesday, but had no other information about her injuries or any possible injury to the unborn baby.
Reached by phone today, RMC staff said they had no record of treating the victim. Other local hospitals told The Star they had no record of treating her.
Wade said deputies responded around 4 p.m. Wednesday to a fight at the Hobson City Apartments on Martin Luther King Drive. The victim and Dixon were arguing over a relationship with a man, Wade said. Deputies dispersed the crowd without making any arrests, he said.
At about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday Dixon struck the victim, who was on foot, with her car on the 100 block of Church Street in Hobson City, according to the police report and Dixon's arrest warrant.
Deputies noticed Dixon while responding to a disturbance call at the apartments and arrested her there, he said.
Dixon is charged with first-degree assault and was released from the Calhoun County Jail this afternoon on a $15,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 18.

Ezra Pound – Alf's Eleventh BitFollow
My great press cleaves the guts of men,
My great noise drowns their cries,
My sales beat all the other ten,
Because I print most lies.
I get the kids out on the street
To sell the papers early,
At one o'clock I go to lunch,
Looking so big and burly.
I wear a fine fur coat and gloves,
And spats above my shoes,
They have to do the dirty work,
I do whatever I choose.
They have to stand about in mud
And cold fit for despair,
But I have made a ruddy pile
From profits on hot air.
I pump the market up and down
By rigging stock reports,
And get my pickings on the side
From dress goods ads, and sports.
The King was once the biggest thing
In England? I'll say YES!
But knights and Lords to-day respect
The power of the Press.

Take-Out Mighty Wallet
The Mighty Wallet® is tear-resistant, water-resistant, expandable and recyclable. Made from Tyvek® (think express mail envelopes), these cool wallets resist tearing because of thousands of interlocking plastic fibers spun in random patterns, giving them incredible strength. The ingenious origami construction was and is the original folded Tyvek® wallet designed by Terrence Kelleman. The stitch less design reinforces the materials own strength and allows these very slim wallets to instantly expand and adapt to your own personal storage needs. The Mighty Wallet® will expand right before your eyes. Because of the slim, lightweight and water resistant features, you can take these cool wallets anywhere. They make great "night out" wallets for a slender silhouette and the writable surface conveniently acts as a quick note pad on the go. In time, the Mighty Wallet® will gradually soften and patina but, even after years of wear, it will still offer surprise and solicit intrigue.
