We're not sure if we should call PETA or get the owner of this yellow and black striped dog a beer.
Yeah, we're going to go with beer. How often do we see a puppy painted to look like an LSU Tigers mascot for gameday?
Not often enough.

No loss
When u die someone will say the same thing about you...
Are you an up and coming rap star , sweetey ?
If that...
STFU Albino Inbred
Did you find out who your daddy was ?
I agree with marlodadon!!
Jeff Cole Def shows no cl*****, no education & certainly no brains. Thats Wat happens wen family members breed with each other..
Lol I love how this gets blamed on the gun at the end. Hey geniuses, if it hadn't been a gun it would've been something else. The problem is thug "culture" not guns. #molonlabe
Dumb. You know guns kill faster than anything your average loser could get. You KNOW if it were a bat or a knife, someone could have stood up to fight back, or the thugs might have been less inclined to attack in public knowing it wouldn't be a quick pop and then a getaway. Maybe those thugs wouldn't have taken life so quickly if it weren't for the gun. It's one thing to be pro-gun, it's another to be pro-gun and using stupid illogical reasoning to defend it.
You're right, no one was murdered before guns. Also, criminals obey gun laws, that's why places with strict gun laws like Detroit and Chicago and DC are so safe. Have a great day.
Whr does thug culture come in wen it's upper cl***** shooting at an all white school huh? Stupid people shouldnt be allowed to talk!!
Did I say "all murders happen because of thug culture"? Go back and read what I wrote, look carefully. Is that in there? No? Huh. Guess I didn't write that then. This particular murder is a side effect of that thug garbage that media is pushing right now, but all murders happen because someone wants to murder, doesn't matter the race or what weapon they use.
DAMN such a waste if Life.....
Awe..that $ucks
Yes! Good job, keep it coming.
Blacks shooting blacks. Yawn, sigh....boring. Switch it up some. Like say, a water balloon fight.
Too bad you Black Folks can't / won't make any positive contributions to this country .
because a 30 year old making troll comments on the internet is contributing a whole damn lot. you're just as bad, if not worse for not realizing how useless you are in the grand scheme of things
Whatever n*****lover
So uncalled for and a definite contribution to some of America's ignorance. I mean....really? Smdh
Shut up Shaquique.
Lmao...and I do mean lmao because ppl like you are pure comedy and I'm far from "Shaquique".
When you get on my level, then we can have an intelligent convo and I'd hate to think a career having educated person speaks like you do. Heaven help us all if so...lol *crickets*
Another low cl***** individual leaving racist remarks. Ur worse than the one above you. Shame on you for daring to write such a thing.
Guns dont kill people due
Blacks built this country that your sorry a$$ is living in fool.
Sad however this seems to be all Blacks do. Shoot & Kill each other. I really don't care to be perfectly honest , as long as these SOB's don't harm anyone in my family or friends or their children.
Yes doug blacks seemingly only kill blacks so you have no worries if any of the sob's will harm any of ur friends family or children but I would be careful of someof the whites they are knownbto victimize other whites
Stop glorifying the gangsta lifestyle to make money-your greed is killing folk. We need more black leaders like Dr. Ben Carson and Col. Allen West.
Cleary you can only tolerate blacks if they share your views
You too, it would seem.
Jeff is right. No loss whatsoever. Just idiots.
No loss. Nice to see another one dead.

Active Standard ASTM E2188 | Developed by Subcommittee: E06.22
Book of Standards Volume: 04.12
Historical (view previous versions of standard)
Significance and Use
This test method is intended to provide a means for testing the performance of the sealing system and construction of sealed insulating glass units.
Sealed insulating glass units tested in accordance with this method may be suitable for structurally glazed applications. However, factors such as sealant longevity when exposed to long term ultraviolet light and the structural properties of the sealant must be reviewed for these applications.
Sealed insulating glass units tested in accordance with this method are not intended for continuous exposure to high relative humidity conditions or long-term immersion in water.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers procedures for testing the performance of preassembled permanently sealed insulating glass units or insulating glass units with capillary tubes intentionally left open.
1.2 This test method is applicable only to sealed insulating glass units that are constructed with glass.
1.3 This test method is applicable to both double-glazed and triple-glazed insulating glass units. For triple-glazed insulating glass units where both of the outer lites are glass and the inner lite is either glass or a suspended film.
1.4 The unit construction used in this test method contains dimensions that are an essential component of the test. Different types of glass, different glass thicknesses, and different airspace sizes may affect the test results.
1.5 This test method is not applicable to sealed insulating glass units containing a spandrel glass coating due to testing limitations.
1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Day17: international fans – France loves Belgium!Mar 28
This morning, Natalie (one of our 2 label managers) and one of our artists went to London for a 3day session of songwriting. At the same time, I'm going through some of our week-end stats, and I'm liking some of the trends:
- Tom Dice entered the TOP50 again in France, and even TOP20 in airplay. Reactions in France are really great. Looking at the French charts, we Belgians should be proud! Stromae, Selah Sue and Tom Dice are all in the top50. 3 very different styles of music, but all of them examples of 'where amazing talent meets hard work'. And I expect milow in that group soon too. Bravo to all!!
- A trend that I LOVE! We've started to go international with SonicAngel over the last weeks. We've signed up with 8 international artists so far, but capturing the heart of the fans should take some time, although the reactions in the US are kindof overwhelming. Looking at the latest 10 sales on our site yesterday, I noticed the following:
40% Flanders
10% Wallonia
10% France
10% Netherlands
20% Switserland
That's really great news, and today we're finalizing 2 more projects to further expand internationally
- Over the next 2 months, we have 8 releases lined up, and planning looks amazing. Most of them are in Flanders and Wallonia but our first French, Suisse and US releases are also being lined up. Going through the productions, I cannot help but think: WOW. What amazing talents.
Great feeling to start the week! Time to accelerate our actions and plans.

So here's my dress: http://www.inweddingdress.com/style-bc415.html I don't like the sash that came with it so
I ordered this one to jazz it up a bit: http://imgur.com/8f5vg (it's way more sparkley in person)
I really wanted one with a side accent like a flower or something, but couldn't find one I really liked. Does the dress need a sash with an accent or am I being silly? I love this sash but am no longer 100% sure it works. What do you guys think?

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the directory for the Internet. You have to create records in DNS so that other computers on the Internet can find services associated with your domain. Different services are represented by different types of records. Those services include email, instant messaging, and websites. Even the most experienced admins can struggle with DNS and missing or incorrect DNS records are a common cause of all kinds of problems.
The topic External DNS records describes all the different types of DNS records used by Office 365. Before you start troubleshooting, you should know where your DNS records are hosted and how to make or request changes. Learn how to track down this information.
See Help me add and verify my domain. You have to create a special record at your DNS hosting provider to prove that you own a custom domain before it can be used with Office 365. Your DNS hosting provider is typically the same as your domain registrar.
Video: Confirm ownership of your custom domain name
Video: Change DNS settings at your domain registrar
There may be a problem with your MX record. You can use an online tool to look up all the MX records associated with your domain (search for DNS lookup tools). You should see an MX record for each domain you use to receive email, and it should match the MX record that is displayed in the Office 365 admin center exactly. There should be no "extra" MX records, which could cause email to be delivered to the wrong place.
Go here to view the MX records for your organization. Select the custom domain, then click View DNS settings > View DNS records.
Note: if you're having trouble receiving mail from only one domain, it's possible that the other organization has set up a connector specifically for sending email to you, and that they've set that connector to go to a specific IP address. They should update the connector to use DNS resolution instead.
Check for the existence of the SPF record. The SPF record is used to prevent phishing and spoofing. Organizations that receive email from you can check for this record to make sure that email was sent from a trusted source.
Make sure that you have associated your domain name with your public website and you have set up a DNS record so that Internet users can find you. If you're using Office 365 Midsize or Enterprise, go here for help.
Office 365 Small Business customers should start at Set up and manage domains.

Outlook connectivity issues can be frustrating, especially when you have a bunch of upset users who expect you to get it fixed now. the good news is that while you're working on the problem, users can continue to connect to Outlook Web App to send and receive email, schedule meetings, and lookup contacts.
The most common causes of this problem are a missing or misconfigured Autodiscover DNS record or an Outlook profile that is configured manually. Exchange Online supports Outlook connectivity only through Autodiscover. Just like it sounds, this DNS record lets Outlook automatically discover the location of your mailbox. If your Outlook profile is set up to use a specific server name, your connection can break if the mailbox is moved, such as during an upgrade. To see if this is your problem and get it fixed, follow these steps:
Need more detailed steps? See Correcting Autodiscover and DNS settings.
Outlook uses a process called Autodiscover to automatically find your settings and set up an Exchange connection to your account. Make sure that you've set up the CNAME record for Autodiscover. It's shown in the DNS settings for your domain. Then follow the steps to Set up email in Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013.

Using PHP in administration scripts
Delivering Commands
Most admins tend to use the shell, Perl,or Python if they need a system administration script. But there is no need for web programmers to learn another language just to script a routine task. PHP gives admins the power to program command-line tools and even complete web interfaces.
PHP scripts written for the console are basically the same as scripts written for the web: programmers can use the whole range of PHP features. To allow simple, program name based execution of scripts on the command-line, you need to specify the PHP interpreter in the first line of the script following #!. If you do not know the path to the interpreter, you can type which php to find out. Also, the script file needs to be executable. Let's take a look at the ubiquitous "Hello, World" example in PHP: #!/usr/bin/php -q <?php echo "Hello, World\n"; ?>
PHP tools are typically all you need for any kind of text manipulation, such as modifying configuration files, log files, user management entries, and the like. If you need to access operating system functions for tasks such as process management, you will need to add a few Linux commands.

I do remember one issue of Moon Knight (don't know if it was in the main series or not) where he already started going more abstract. "Hit it!" IIRC, the main story itself was still his older style, but the backgrounds were children's drawings.
There is a nice thread on the Marvel board right now BTW on artists with more stylized styles (Even though there is no discussion, just posting lots of pictures of different artists).
Back on topic:
All in all, I think the "Image" Artist Era was an important piece of comic evolution. The very first Image comics did lack substance and pushing other artists to draw in a style aping Liefeld or Lee (though again, I think that the styles of Liefeld, McFarlane and Lee are not comparible, not even speaking of the relative talents of these individuals which also differs greatly.) was a stupid idea, it finally lead to some fine comic companies and seeing early 2000s Wildstorm or the current line-up at Image Comics, I think it was worth it.

Friday, November 16, 2012
This past Remembrance day weekend the Royal Victoria Yacht Club hosted its first training camp of the 2012-2013 season as a part of RVYC's training camp series that runs until April 2013. Camps in Nov, Feb, March and April are open to all that wish to attend.
Over 60 Participated in the camp that ran from Friday to Monday, November 9th-12th. Participants from Manitoba, Alberta and around BC were treated to a variety of conditions all weekend long. Everything from light and chilly conditions to 15 knots and warm southerlies kept the sailors on their toes and digging around for warm layers. The focus was on boat handling and fitness as we get started on another year of sailing and competition which is just around the corner.
Classes that played along included the West Coast 49erFX and 49er fleet, 29ers, 420's, Lasers, Radials, 2.4mRs and Victoria's local Opti Fleet. This was also an opportunity for the coaches; Peter MacDougal, Stephen McBride, Erik Vanderpol, Mike Jarosz and Kelsey Stroppel to work with Erik Stibbe from Sail Canada to get some coaching tips and tricks and valuable feedback. Included for athletes taking part in the clinic were a fitness test and functional movement screening. It was a fabulous clinic!

State House Bureau
AUGUSTA – The Legislature's budget-writing committee made progress on an emergency spending plan Thursday but adjourned late in the day as they worked to fix a $153 million shortfall caused largely by Medicaid overruns and low revenue collection.
In this file photo, people move through the third floor between the House and Senate chambers at the State House in Augusta. The Maine Legislature's budget-writing committee made progress Thursday on an emergency spending plan to fix Maine's $153 million budget shortfall.

Before then, rifts developed between Democrats and Republicans on proposals by Gov. Paul LePage involving charter school funding and an annual cap on General Assistance aid for cities and towns.
Neither initiative offers appreciable savings related to the proposed budget, but both represent a battle of principles between the parties.
Lawmakers were hopeful that both issues could be resolved as the Appropriations Committee worked to endorse a budget proposal unanimously.
A unanimous committee vote would improve the chances for the two-thirds majorities needed in the House and Senate to enact the emergency budget and override a veto, which LePage has said he will use if charter school funding is cut by legislators.
In all, the LePage administration has proposed more than $153.2 million in adjustments to balance the budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30. The Legislature can make changes to LePage's proposals, but it must hit that number to balance the budget.
Within that, nearly $118 million is for the Department of Health and Human Services, which overran projected costs for MaineCare, Maine's Medicaid program, by nearly $88 million.
DHHS spokesman John Martins said $33 million in MaineCare overruns were due to changes made to MaineCare that were rejected by the federal government.
That includes nearly $15 million that would have been saved by making childless adults and 19- and 20-year-olds ineligible for MaineCare. Nearly $6 million would have been saved by removing parents who were just at, or 33 percent above, the federal poverty level -- $23,550 for a four-person family this year, according to the federal data.
Republicans have cited the MaineCare gap as showing the need for structural reform, while Democrats have blamed it mostly on Republican initiatives.
"I think it's important to remember how we got here," House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, said Wednesday. "It's because of the savings initiatives that weren't achieved over the last two years. We're here cleaning up the mess of the Republican-led budget."
LePage proposed mostly one-time fixes, including a $40 million withdrawal from the Budget Stabilization Fund, also referred to as the rainy day fund.
He also proposed using $18.5 million from a two-week deferral of aid to schools, $17.1 million from a capital fund and $14 million in casino revenue that was earmarked for education.
LePage also proposed capping General Assistance for municipalities at $10.1 million in this fiscal year. If past numbers are any indication, Maine would hit that ceiling.
Nicholas Adolphsen, director of legislative affairs for DHHS, has said that in the last fiscal year, the state spent $11.6 million on General Assistance.
At a hearing in January, a DHHS official said the state would have spent $6.1 million on the program in this fiscal year, with slightly less than six months to go.
The LePage administration wants to continue that cap into the next two-year budget, projecting it would save $6.7 million over that period. After that, the state would stop reimbursing municipalities, which would have to choose whether to fund the program.
The supplemental budget plan also must address a $35.5 million gap in the state's General Fund budget, announced in December by the LePage administration, which cited bleaker-than-expected December revenue projections.
About $28.5 million of those cuts would hit the DHHS, schools and the University of Maine System.
Within the nearly $12.6 million targeted toward K-12 schools, charter schools, which LePage has championed, were spared.

Serves 4
Dress up grilled chicken breasts with bright Vietnamese flavors. The salad is built off packaged coleslaw mix, enhanced with fresh mint and cilantro, crunchy peanuts, and a sweet-and-salty dressing of fish sauce and rice vinegar.
Prepare a medium grill fire.
With a mortar and pestle, pound the shallots, jalapeno, sugar, and 1/8 tsp. pepper until the shallots are very soft (but not pureed) and liquid is released. Transfer to a large serving bowl and stir in the vinegar and fish sauce.
Season the chicken with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper and grill, turning once, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Let cool and then shred the chicken with your fingers into long thin strips, pulling the meat along its natural grain.
Toss the coleslaw mix into the vinegar mixture. Add the chicken, mint, and cilantro and combine well. Top with the peanuts and serve at room temperature.
This salad is a one-dish meal on its own, but for heartier appetites, pair it with a crisp baguette. Or serve Coconut Rice Pudding with Mango for dessert.

3/23/2012Loved it, bright and delicious. I used about 14 oz of chopped cabbage and 2 shredded carrots instead of coleslaw mix, and some asian marinated chicken from the butchers. Will definitely make this again.
by kimbluekat,
3/19/2012It tasted like 5 stars and was very easy to make but I gave it four because I added some ingredients. I marinated the chicken in lime juice, soy, ginger and lemongrass paste with a little oil before grilling. I also added lime juice, bean sprouts and cucumber to the salad. I will be making this one again!
by janann1999,
10/11/2011I was very pleased with this salad. Fresh tasting!! I am not a fish person but the fish sauce is not fishy at all. Hard to find-I found in at Fresh n Easy.
by smiths37,
6/13/2011This is very good! I threw the jalapeno and shallots in the food processor instead of using a mortar and pestle. Also used a 16 oz bag of coleslaw mix and 1 1/4 lb of chicken (since that's what I had in the freezer). Added a little bit more cilantro and peanuts (non-salted so I added a little salt too). The recipe is quick, easy, delicious and good the next day for lunch too!
by RoofieColada,
5/3/2011My new favorite dish!! Low calorie, high protien and packed with flavor. This is my new staple around the house.
by sbedford,
4/29/2011Easy and quick. Made my own coleslaw mix with green and red cabbage and carrot. Used about 8 oz for two servings. Also, didn't have shallots on hand, so substituted red onion. Sliced the chicken breast as I would a flank steak and put on top of the salad mix instead of mixing it all in. Great Asian style salad for a warm summer supper.
by biggar,
1/9/2010Great meal. I now make it about once per month. I've made it with grilled shrimp and always add a crushed clove of garlic and a teaspoon of roasted sesame oil. I have also used cashews for their unsaturated fat content.
I'm now adding chopped onion and grated fresh ginger
by twood,
10/22/2010Nice Fresh Salad. I really liked the mint/cilantro combo. I also added a little crushed garlic, and also a dash of fresh grated ginger. Would be good with shrimp, or even diced leftover chicken, or as is! I like the sesame oil suggestion. Will try that next time.
by Lyneyster,
8/30/2010Definitely used 16 oz coleslaw mix not 6 oz. Great recipe, added a 2nd large jalapeno in addition to the slaw,
by Aineo,
12/1/2009Salad was delicious. Just the right amount of flavour. I doubled the amount of cabbage mixture and also added snap peas.
by Jennifer_E,
9/1/2009Delicious! I cut the onion in half and added snap peas.
by jmajs,
10/28/2008Fresh. Delicious. I have made this several times. Always a hit

Dear friends,
For a while, it looked like I was in serious trouble.
I'm an old-school family physician in Missoula, Montana, just like my dad before me. I had written aid-in-dying prescriptions for three patients since the Montana Supreme Court's Baxter decision made it legal to do so in 2009.
But now, the Baxter decision was about to be upended by state legislators. Working with anti-choice zealots, they proposed a bill to put doctors in jail for up to ten years for writing those legal prescriptions.
Compassion & Choices, which spearheaded Baxter and made physician aid in dying possible for my patients, was still on the scene—protecting the decision from all manner of legislative and activist mischief. Thankfully, they were ready to defeat this latest attack. More

Judy Chicago talks about ReViewing PowerPlay
For the first time since its premier in 1986, the complete series PowerPlay by Judy Chicago will be on display.

It will be on display from June 29-August 11 at the David Richard Gallery in Santa Fe. Chicago will discuss the series with Jonathan Katz, a leading proponent of queer theory, at an event on July 7. For more information, go to www.throughtheflower.org.

Ok - I guess I can relax. He was with me every second today and he is feeling MUCH better and he didn't "die" through his workouts...but holy cow...what a way to make me freak ou! BAD, BAD BOY!! Im watchin him like a hawk though. (yes, Tom would be FURIOUS if I called the doctor.....he claims he knows his body....Hmmm. but he takes risks he shouldn't.....in my humble opinion)
Today we went to the sporting goods store and spent a small fortune on the warm (and stylish) clothing we need for Banff...it will be 30-40's highs and 20's and below night! YEAH!! love, love love that. and if it's warmer than that...I will be very disappointed! We will be very active with hiking, lake walks and we think we will hike to the glacier one day....and lots of other little trips...as well as continuing our BFL in the hotel gym.....
After my workout today, I have been SOOO overheated and shopping was miserable...I just can cool off, even after a shower!! I hate the summer.
OK - more later!
Very good to hear that H.H. is feeling much better. You're ng to age just worrying about him!
What a great shopping trip - getting ready for the big honeymoon. Bet your honeymoon shopping was quite diferent the first time around! Sounds like you will be getting lots of exercise in Banff. What a beautiful setting to hike.
I hate the summer too. My dream place to live? Monterey, CA. Lived there for 9 months while my ex was in the military. Fell in love with it. Average temperature in the summer: 70 degrees. Average in winter: 71 degrees. Paradise! Flowers blooming year round. Incredible ocean, beautiful big rocks on the shore for the waves to crash on. I cried when I left Monterey.
Hope you have a cool cool evening, SB. And a great date, L J, if that's what you're doing!
That ng is not a Vietnamese name in this case. It should say 'going'!
Okay my friends, remember I said a few days ago that I was going to get the exercise back on track this long weekend? Well let me toot my own horn and do the happy dance - I hit it out of the ballpark! I think yesterday's post included my jogging for 4 out of the 20 minutes on the treadmill. That's a big deal - I still have 195 pounds to drag along and the weakest legs on the planet! Well, today I jogged for FOURTEEN of the 20 minutes - WOOT WOOT!!! Feelin' good!
Also got right back on program after yesterday's free day, and didn't get too crazy yesterday. Had a Panera's mozzarella and tomato ciabatta - mmmmm. (Maybe you guys have Panera's, St. Louis bread, Beyond Bread, or something like that? Their food is fantastic.) At night I had a sesame bagel, also from Panera's, with real Peter Pan peanut butter. That's dessert! That natural stuff is nasty!
How was your Sunday? HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR PLAN FOR TOMORROW, SHELLBELLS! No barbecue food is stronger than you are! LacyJ, keep up your wonderful program ... and teach me how to date a guy who dances! I've dated dozens of guys and haven't found one I want to keep, let alone one who dances!
Mary...you rock!!!!! I am so happy for you! Great job on your exercising!!!!!! Wow 14 of the 20 is soooo awesome. So happy you are back on track!
The BBQ was good. Fairly healthy! I did have some pretzels but no dip. I have really work
Led out hard this weekend so I am proud too!
Lacy hope you're having a blast!!!
Have a great Tuesday! Talk to you soon!!!
Thanks Shellbells! I did upper body tonight. I wanna have cute little muscles like yours!
We are halfway there, Shell! We are beginning our 7th week. That just doesn't seem possible. It went by so fast, and has been so rewarding. This is your first challenge too, right?
LacyJ is the experienced one. Hope you had a great BFL weekend, L J.
Have a peaceful, painfree BFL kinda week, my friends!
Mary - GOOD FOR YOU THAT YOU DID UPPER BODY LAST NIGHT!! You will have cute, litte, gorgeous muscles.....
Lacy - How was the date this weekend?? Enquiring minds want to know.
Tom was funny last night...he knows I am on this forum and we all talk. I have this thread and another that I write on just about everyday.... So now he's interested.....he says "hows the girls?" Meaning you guys...so now he is wrapped up in it..LOL - Lacy, he LOVES the story about your dating the guy from the traffic jam....and Mary, he agrees with us with your dance instuctor.... He cracks me up....
Today I go back to new Chrio.....had a bad headache throughout the night and just couldnt sleep well...so I hope New Chiro will be able to help again.
Tom called in sick this morning....I can count on one hand how many times he has called in sick in 30 years......he was up last night not feeling well with abdominal pain again....so he said he will call the doctor this mroning....he must hurt if he is gonna call the doctor! I am glad because 4 days after the procedure he shouldnt be feeling like this.
Yesterday morning I went shopping with one of my daughters as she needed a professional business suit for a job interview this week. So we went to Lane Bryant because she wears a larger size (18). While she was trying on some stuff, I tried on a pair of Jeans....I started this program size 16 to 18 depending on cut. so tried on a 16, I could pull them down BUTTONED AND ZIPPED......So I got a 14 and they were still a bit big in the waist....so I said to the sales lady, hey can you hand me a size 12? She responds " this is lane bryant....we dont go down to that small of size!" LOL -I was elated. Now I am NOT a size 12, and I am sure it was just the way the pants were cut...but I was happy!
At the BBQ I was in my super cute (and expensive) bathing suit top and swim shorts and my husband pulled on it and said....honey, you better get a new top....i didnt realize it was LOOSE through the whole waste - in the water is just floated up constantly.....WOO HOO - THIS IS EXCITING!! ( but I love the suit and I am sad that I wont be able to wear it anymore...LOL)
OH yea...it's the little things. I dont know if I told you I foam roll now before and after workouts. I LOVE it and it makes me feel so good and has eleviated quite a lot of pain and soreness. when I first started rolling, it was SOOOO hard because you have the lift your own body weight and keep it lifed to do the rolling....that is HARD! I felt like I just couldnt do it....but now with the help of my workouts and my core strengthing excercises, I can lift my own body weight and roll the way I should roll! That's a huge big deal to me.....so I can see and feel the progress!
WEEK 7 here we come!
Yes this is my first challenge this time around.....Last time I finished 3 and got down to goal weight (size 6)...so that's wear I want to be again.....anything smaller doesnt seem doable, but size 6 I like so that's wear I am heading again!
Have a good day ladies!
OK - I am SO irritated. Yesterday I couldn't do my BFL cardio workout at 9AM because of the new Chiro. I was going to do it "after work" at 3PM but I forgot I had a pedicure appointment....DRATS! so I go to pedi and at 4:30 was going to come home and do cardio. THEN, My daughter had an emergency.....her husband locked the keys inside the house (they only have one car) so we cannot get her from work...no biggy but long story she had promised she would drive her friends to to work (they work at the same place) ..so picking her up meant driving across town to pick up a girlfriend and bringing her back to the place we started , of course in traffic. Then, it turns out we had to go get hubby, on the other side of town the other way...by this time, it was 6PM and I hadnt eaten since noon...I was STARVING.
We ran to market to get a chicken, salad makings, etc.... Dinner was on the table in 20 minutes but it was now 7:15, I was hungrier than I have ever been and internally pissed. SO I ate a crap load of watermelon (which I shouldnt have) and a bit more of everything else.....I thought I could eat the planet.
They had to wait until their roommate (thank God they rent a room of their house out) came home to let them in, but he wasnt getting home till 10PM! UGGGHH. No work out.
So I went to bed irritated, dreampt about it all night and woke up still feeling full and yukky (from watermelon, really?). and on yeah...I have 5 NEW mosquito bites this morning.....
I have upper body today....and might try to get in a cardio alslo....depends on how I feel.
OK - I am done complaining and being a sour puss......i'll have a more positive post later.
Oh my goodness, I am soooo far behind on this! It's been a very busy Monday through Wednesday! I did read your wonderful messages SB, and missed your meltdown, and your celebration in Lane Bryant – oh yeah, what kind of friend am I?! But I'm here for ya now, baby! Woot Woot!
Oh where, oh where has our LacyJ gone?
Oh where, oh where can she be?
With her gorgeous new body and her traffic stud, …
Oh yeah, that's where she is.
AHHH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH! I crack myself up.
Tom, you rock! You are a real team player. Your crazy wife keeps me totally entertained, and she shakes her pompoms when LacyJ and I and the rest of the BFL gang need some encouragement. Thanks for sharing her. I expect that any day now, you'll be shaking your pompoms for us too. (And from Shell's description of you, I'd pay good money to see that!) LacyJ's traffic stud is a great story! And my dance pro does indeed suck! (That's what you really meant to say, right?!)
I read this from your message, "Today I go back to new Chrio." And I'm thinking, "I don't know what the hell Chrio is but I sure hope it works. Then I read on – Chiro! I hope that works too.
Okay, I worry about LacyJ and he cancer, and you with your skull-splitting. Now I'm worried about Tom. I'm going to need therapy from this 'support' group of ours! Just kidding. Hope he is MUCH better today.
I can just imagine how thrilled you must have been when the sales lady said they don't sell a size that small! High five on that, Shellbells! That and gorgeous little muscles must have been well worth all the work. And then the floaty swimsuit to follow it up. Those two events together? I'd be lighting up a cigarette and watching Leno! (No, I don't smoke!) Size 6 here she comes - YAHOO! Now if you love the suit, expensive or not, why don't you go to a tailor and get it altered? Well worth it.
That foam rolling sounds like an exercise program by itself! It is good to hear that it works for you. One of the more experienced BFLers also recommended them.
Okay, time to maybe get a little work done and continue watching reruns of the US Open tennis championship. Thanks for the 2 long messages. I will answer the other one tomorrow.
Give Hunka Hubby my best!
Good morning my friends!
This is a relection post:
Had a great Upper body, then "after work" I did a great Cario because I felt so good (and I missed the day before..LOL) . When I do Cardio, I tend to sort of do the positive affirmation thing.....you know tell myself that I can do it, that my fat is just melting off and I visualize my body the way I want it to be. Yesterday, I started listing in my head all the great and wonderful things that are happening to me from a health perspective and gave myself a pat on the back. I am thrilled with the progress and my food/work "out" ethics....and since this was so successful last time, I know i will be again. I can just start to feel this week my body is now properly responding.....and I can FEEL my metabolism is finally firing on all burners.
Here are some of the great things that have taken place in ONLY 6 weeks:
These are HUGE things for me and it's nice to sit back and take a half way point look at all the positives that are taking place BESIDES how my clothes fit or what the scale says. The looking back reflection really helps me to motivate. I cant wait for the net 5 weeks, and the challenges after that. But I am not in a hurry and dont feel like "this will be over" because it wont...this is the NEW NORMAL.
I am thankful for the frienship and support of you ladies, my husband and my daughters and I think how far I have come in just 6-1/2 weeks from being in a depressed, dark place for years to where I am now.....In the light, spreading my little wings and taking my life back.
OK....enough about me. I just wanted to get that out. Refelcting is good therapy and helpful in knowing where you've been, where you are and where you are going....
Mary, I MISSED YOU.
LACYJ- WE MISS YOU...but totally get the whole Work, boyfriend, things (I mean there is only 24 hours in a day for crying out loud!) but touch base with us! We want to hear your positive and cheerful voice!
Mary, you don't just crack yourself up, you crack me up! I use the doggy in the window song A LOT. I typed it to a far younger person in an email and she "didnt get it"...LOL OH well, but I am happy to see you using it!
Tom said he felt 100 percent yesterday. The doctor said it's normal and to be expected that he felt like this for a while (wish they would have told me that!) BUt he was laughing and teasing me last night so I know he feels better.
CHRIO is short for Chiropractor. I had a great one, but he is no longer taking my insurance. so I have tried a couple around town...and they were not good for me. Didnt like their method and their personality wasnt good for mine. So my massage therapist recommended this Chiro and voila....it's a good match. There are two in the office. So if they cant manipulate it into shape, the other one can use a different technique. So far, TWO adjustments and feel about 60 percent better. HEADACHES are reduced! and my upper back which has been so painful is now a dull ache. Funny though...the Chiro guy is a fairly small guy (strange for a chiropractor).....he just couldn't not get a certain section of the neck and upper back to move. So he says "Im Tapping out! Calling in the second string" - LOLOL that was funny. But this other doctor came in the room and H-E-L-L-O gorgeous.....he 6'4, about 50 ish and BUILT with GREAT hair, grey but sexy, and very good voice....Very down to business guy...the eye candy didnt hurt! He was able to get my neck in and my upper back. I go back tomorrow morning - So we will see if it all starts to stay in... CROSS YOUR FINGERS! Tom laughed and said "have fun" HAHAHAAHA
Hope your programs are on track and you are having great reflective moments!
Talk to you soon!!!!
WOW!!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!! Ladies that is just all I can say!! I'm so moved by both of you beyond words. Shellbells - you said it all in your reflection. I feel every bit of what you said - I LOVE IT!!! Mary - you ROCK ! Your humor at the hour of the morning that you blog - just makes me laugh from the belly on up :) I am so glad the exercise and program is coming together for you both. It was in my 8th week of my first Challenge before the light bulb went on for me. And . . . since then - it has been my life and I LOVE IT! I never blogged the first Challenge or the second challenge and I am sorry I didn't blog sooner but we are on the pathway we should be on now. I am Blessed for my friendship with you both and I thank you from the bottom of my "healthy heart."
And Shellbells . . . a size 6 - Shut the Front Door!!!!! You Go Girl!!!! Keep Grindin' - it is so worth it!
And the stressful situation - you handled it well. Life happens and we have to adjust when it does. Just get back on it the next day and move forward!
Okay, I know you are all dying to hear the Traffic Stud story. Well . . the date on Sunday didn't happen and here is what he called and told me. He called me Sunday afternoon and told me there had been a death in his family in New York and that he and some of his family were going there. The funeral would be this week and that the person who died lived alone and they would also be helping to empty the house and decide what to do with the belongings while he and his family were in New York for the week. He said he will call me as soon as he gets back to Cleveland. Now, I want to believe him . . . but . . the side of me that thinks most men are jerks wants to think bad things. My dance teacher told me to believe him and at least give him 3 strikes before I put him out. You know I am waiting for the Toad to disappear or never call again or whatever . . . . So, I am waiting (impatiently) to hear from him. I hope he doesn't disappointment me. We had such a nice dinner and movie date. He spoke of wanting to take me to the Art Museum, some parks, the Aquarium, etc. So, I really want to think he is telling the truth. So ladies . . . you will have to be patient to see how this "street" romance turns out. I really liked him so I am going to put my heart out there and see what happens. I've been disappointed before and I made it thru - so, I am going to open myself up one more time :)
My work and audits have me in a tizzy lately. They just want more and more - so I am quite busy with work. Last night I went to a salon and tried a spray tan. My bikini shoot is 21 days from now - so I want to get the tan thing going. I don't do the sun as my mother died from melanoma skin cancer - so, I do the fake tans :) It looks pretty good. I am going to do it twice a week til the photoshoot.
My program has been spot on - both diet and exercise. Even the Street stud said he wants to get on program with me when we talked.
Sorry for your headaches Shellbells - pain is not good. I am truly Blessed in that I don't have pain really.
Okay ladies, I must get to work but I knew you were looking for me. I hope you both have a Fab-U-Lous day! Keep it moving forward ladies. Be Determined, Dedicated and Disciplined. We will not let Life pass us by anymore!!! Love you both - LacyJ
LACYJ!! Dont you dare doubt his man yet! Here is what I believe - ALL PEOPLE deserve our trust and the benefit of the doubt until they prove they are not worthy of it. A) he called and told you what was going on, and not just about the death but details. B) I dont believe for a minute that is just his way of not calling back - not good to think that way C) dont put up a wall (although listen to your inner voice) but be patient.
I am praying for you and hope this man does not turn into a toad. and if he does? he has ME TO CONTEND WITH!!! and trust me...I am not a size 6 YET!! so big enough! LOL
I am happy you are busy with work (so many arent) and your diet and excercise are perfect.....! GREAT JOB
Mary, hope your day went well...and your class is ENTRALLED with the subject (and of course the instructor!)
I gotta run to pick up my nephew and hang out with my grandson !!! He called and said "grandma...you gonna be ready?" LOL! so cute. He wants to swim so he's buttering me up....but I let him.....HEHHEHE
Talk to you later ladies!!!
Thanks Shellbells for pointing out the positive side. I am going to put my trust in this man - cause I like him and I love his smile, his laugh, his cologne, he is cute - Oh Lordy - somebody stop me!!!! NO . . . on second thought just let me cross over and see what happens :)
Enjoy your evening with your grandson. How old is he? He sounds cute :)
I'll keep you all updated on this love story :) LacyJ
Good job Lacy!!!! I am glad you will invest some trust in him and see what happens! And no! We are not goona stop you!!!! Cross over ..cross over!!! Lol
My little grandson is 3 and a half. He's just an angel. How he got here is a very long and interesting story. But no matter, he's just my little guy and we are super close. He lived with me and I was the "mom" for his first to years while my daughter cleaned up her act so we have a bond like no other!
Ai yi yi! My daughter was literally like a hurricane tonight! Her stress level was so high, she was flipping out and taking it out on us, including her son! Omg. She hasn't been like this in over a year.....so while I was getting dinner on the table with my little guy, she was on the phone. Upset and yelling. She has a boyfriend that is a dream, but he has a Daughter with an idiot....anyway the mother left the daughter ( 1 year) with the grandfather 12 hours ago. She's probably out using.... But my daughter wants her arrested, she wants DCFS involved, she's telling him what to do , etc.... Good Lord!!! it was so stressful. I reminded her gently that she did those very same things and many people wanted my grandson taken away from her. But sge got herself together and through the grace of God and others, she is here she is today in a good place. She promptly got up took her son and went home. It has taken an hour to calm the nerves down and relax... Holy smoly!!!
On another note, my cardio was so hard today! Why is it so hard some days and so energizing other days? I haven't recovered and with the stress I just want to sleep!!!! I will be in bed shortly!
Mary, hoping you are doing good!!!!

Jim, John Harbaugh ready for rematch at Super BowlSANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Jim and John Harbaugh have exchanged a handful of text messages, and plan to leave it at that. No phone conversations necessary while the season's still going. No time for pleasantries, even for the friendly siblings.

AUSTIN -- When the Pflugerville ISD school board voted in December to become the first Texas school district to offer benefits for same-sex domestic partnerships, the decision sparked both criticism and praise.
"I believe that teachers who I work with down the hall from me should be able to get the same benefits that I get for my wife and my child," Pflugerville teacher August Plock told KVUE in December.
"It is immoral," First Baptist Church Pastor Steve Washburn responded at the time. "We're normalizing immoral relationships."
On Monday Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott issued a six-page formal opinion declaring the practice violates the Texas Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and amendment to the Texas Constitution approved by voters in 2005. The opinion came at the request of state Sen. Dan Patrick (R-Houston).
"Three to one people in Texas voted that marriage was between a man and a woman," Patrick told KVUE Tuesday. "And it was clear to me when this school board in Pflugerville voted to give benefits to domestic partnerships, they were recognizing that as marriage, which was against the constitution. That's the reason I asked the question."
"It's his opinion. We disagree with it," said Terri Burke, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas. Burke points out the opinion isn't legally binding and argues benefits don't equal marriage.
"They're not about same-sex marriage or union," Burke said. "They are domestic partner benefits. The DOMA defines marriage as between a man and a woman. That's not what these benefits are about at all. They're just about who gets health insurance."
The opinion also applies to Travis County and the City of Austin, both of which offer similar benefits. Austin ISD is considering offering benefits for same-sex domestic partnerships as well. In an interview with KVUE Tuesday, Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell called the opinion "very serious legal advice," but said city employees receiving the benefits in question shouldn't worry.
"Obviously we have to give the attorney general's opinion great weight. He is the chief legal officer for the state of Texas," said Leffingwell. "Our lawyers are continuing to look at it, but I can tell that we have have no plans at this time to discontinue benefits."
Such a decision would require a vote by the city council, which approved benefits for same-sex domestic partnerships in 2008. Meanwhile Austin ISD and Pflugerville ISD officials say legal advisors are weighing the opinion, but no decisions have been made regarding any potential policy changes.
"Our lawyers tell me that they're perfectly within the law to continue to offer this benefit," said Burke. "We're awaiting two Supreme Court decisions in June, either one of which could invalidate the Texas Defense of Marriage Act entirely, in which case this would all be rendered moot."
Opponents warn this is just the beginning. Texas Values President Jonathan Saenz says HB 1568 filed by state Rep. Drew Springer (R-Muenster) would give the commissioner of the Texas Education Agency the authority to withdraw accreditation and funding from school districts that violate the Texas Constitution.
"We're going to take it a step further since they haven't gotten the message," said Saenz. "Clearly they don't have any respect for the Constitution, so the state's got to step in and make sure there's an enforcement and accountability measure so they know that you don't mess with the Texas Constitution."
"I hope this opinion now helps that bill get out of calendars and come to the Senate," said Patrick. "I hope now with this opinion any other school board thinking of this or any city council or any other government entity will step back and say, 'Wait a minute, we can't vote to do this.'"
