Nope, wasn't you.
Tom, how come you never told us Shelley is a hotty?!
Thank you, Shelley. Maybe your daughter can come to Missouri State for her Master's! Seems like she has chosen a career that suits her well, and will benefit many young people. You must be proud of Her Brilliantness! (That's a title, not an adjective!)
Well, I did my UBW tonight ... and now someone is going to have to drive me to work cause I can't move my arms! No amount of Betagen and protein shake is going to fix this. Before starting, I went to the Forum to see if there was a message. Sure enough - put a big ol' smile on my face. I didn't read it then. It was saved as a reward for doing my UBW. I almost quit before finishing the last muscle group, but thought about you and the message, and finished! WOO HOO!!!
Speaking of shakes, I combined chocolate whey powder and caramel sugar free (0 calorie) coffee syrup - mmmmmmm.
Guess I'll get to work, but I'll check in later to see if you had time for another message.
Thanks for the motivation!
Mary, again you crack me up....Do you make your classes as much fun? Since it seems to ooz out of your pores I would guess you do....!
YAY! We found each other on FB! Boy, that was difficult....OMG that wedding picture is GORGEOUS....who was the bride and where was the wedding....? LOVE Your dancing picture and the instructor (albeit a jerk) was kind of cute!! You are SO active and have SO many activities (ceramics, tennis, dancing, teaching...) and what were you, like 10 when you had your first kid?
OK..if you are referring to my profile picture don't get excited! That picture was taken after BFL (3 challenges)....so I was 50 pounds down from where I am now. AND the picture was taken 10 years ago. It was the best I ever looked and felt in my whole life. When I was done with the challenges I decided to have Boudoir pictures taken as a valentines present for Tom so that is where the picture comes from. Sexiest thing I have done ever - good thing I wasnt 20 and unmarried, I might have become a playboy bunny...LOL! I hired an ex playboy photographer.....SUPER expensive, it was worth it and I love them. BUT, that is A LOT of professional make up, 10 years and 50 pounds lighter.
Now is very different unfortunately. Looking back at those photos is awesome motivation and also a bit depressing to see how far I slipped. Back then, the workouts felt more awesome (if you know what I mean)...I recovered faster, I felt like a million bucks, i didn't have arthritis, etc, etc, etc.... Plus, going through what we did with my daughter changed me as a person so significantly I am still trying to find my way back. I figure I better get used to the "new me" cause the old me really doesnt exist anymore....Back then I was larger than life, traveling the world and kicking A$$ in my career.
If you look at my photos you will see a very different person....I RARELY let myself get photographed and when I do, they almost always go in the trash. I have so many photos I havent uploaded because Ive been lazy, but I am not sure Im in any of them! The mind is a beautiful thing...I always think I look better than the photos show (which is how I got to where I am)..... but alas, pictures do not lie. The facebook photo is there for my motivation....so I can see it and want to get back to that....albeit 10 years older!
So I have a husband who is delusional...because he still thinks I am sexy - even like this....he says I am his dream/fantasy women.....I think he is fricken crazy. I have a funny story about when we were in marriage counseling about 10 years ago....The therapist was asking about our fantasies....like WHO we fantasize about....you know, so I start in my saying guys like David Beckham and my all time fave, HOWIE LONG...(OMG - so hot). So she turns to him and says "and you?" he say's "SHELLEY. Always has been always will be" so I turned to him and said "that's BullS***" He was HIGHLY offended and hurt that I didnt believe him. But it's true apparently. I still find that SUPER WIERD and ODD and a bit abnormal.
SO, I am feeling a bit depressed this morning. The heat/humidity is literally killing me....I am swollen, cannot sleep and my muscles ache (that leg work out on Sat. kicked my butt)....I think because of the swelling, my arthritis is SOO inflamed. Even Tom who never gets affected by weather is affected too. I got on the scale and I am up 4 pounds...must be water retention, I can feel it. Today is UPWO and I am not sure I will be able to grip the weights. On top of that I have to go to San Diego which will somewhat interrupt my schedule....YUK. Again, will be in a place where people will want to drink/eat, etc....
I figure I will do UPWO today...Cardio Tues, Wed (plan on running along the strand on the beach at 5AM) and when I get home thursday will do lower body, Cardio Friday and UPWO on Saturday. - I will get it all in, but it wont be in perfect order this week.
Good for you for getting your work out in....I know the feeling of being SOOO sore you can barely move. Yesterday, my calves would not let me walk fast...and they were cramping up like little balls. youre right, the betagen didnt help the soreness, but it stops the shakeyness. LOL
Lacy - dont think this is the Shelley and Mary show.....it's not! Hope you had a GREAT weekend and you kill your week.
Beginning of week 8 for me!
I don't know what cracked you up, but I'm glad to put a smile on your face! Yes, I do clown around in class quite a bit. It helps keep their attention!
The bride is my niece - my kid sister's only child. The wedding was in a little chapel near Louisville, Kentucky. That is such a pretty chapel ... and bride! She HATES being the center of attention, so she was dreading that day. Now she is the center of attention again as she is about to have her first child!
Yeah, the dance pro is a stud, and very sexy and charismatic! Unfortunately, other people fall for him all the time, and find out later what he is really like. He has left a wake of hurt former friends behind. I'm just one of the bunch.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I was exactly 10 when I had the first child! Katie - the one in Glendale - is now 42! Then Eric, who is 40, and the baby, Becky, who is 30 and getting married next summer.
I don't know if you noticed the photo of the little kid with a wild bear in the background. That was off the internet, not someone I know or I would have had a few words with the parents. This was just an example that some people shouldn't be allowed to breed!
You are still beautiful! There are pictures of you and your grandson … and he is as big as you are! It surprised me that you still have to lose 50 pounds. I figured you just had 10 pounds or so to go as you do this running. I have 55 pounds left to lose, and I couldn't go out and run along the Strand. I couldn't run out of my house if it was on fire! Running on the treadmill is much less work, and I can't even do that for very long (although I am pleased with the progress). It is great that you have the boudoir photos and such good memories of yourself and your career back then. I was kicking a$$ and taking names not long ago. Not so much now. It will be so wonderful to be back to a normal weight. I looked good about 8 years or so ago, but hadn't lost all the weight. It's only happened once in my life that I was all the way down to ideal weight, and it didn't last a year before it started creeping up again. That's where I want to be again. We will BOTH get there. LacyJ, you look like you are already there as far as I can tell from the tiny photo! That's awesome!
It was fun to see the grandson and granddaughter – soooo cute!
Time to shower and get to work. More later! Thanks for the great long message. I'm sorry you are feeling depressed with that awful heat. Stay cool at your workshop, and keep your feet up. When I am in a meeting or training where it possible, I pull another chair over in front of me and keep my feet up – comfy!
Hope all is well, LacyJ. Let's have a wonderful, stressful, BFL kinda day!
Hello Ladies!!! I feel like I am sooooo behind on blogging!!! Okay, here is what my dad used to say . . "Everyday is a good day - just some days are better" that way you never have a bad day. So, Shellbells even though you are feeling depressed . . . it is a good day - but tomorrow will be your better day :) You ladies never let me down - you are blogging your hearts out. I have to get on this facebook thing and check on you two. Tonight I have dance (burlesque for this week) and will get home late - but I am following you and will catch up!!! You both are beautiful ladies - beauty is in the heart and soul - not on the outside. We feel better if the outside is where we want to be - but, true beauty lies within. It took me a long time to realize that I am a beautiful person but now I am very thankful for what God has given me.
I am a little sad too - I haven't heard from "Street Stud" for a full week now. I am beginning to lose hope but not completely. If he doesn't come back . . . . I really need classes in how to read a man because I felt like I found the special one and I felt he was different from the ones who think with the lower brain and not the cerebral brain!!! (know what I mean?). I am trying to hold onto hope but I am beginning to doubt that he will be be back. So, I am holding onto a thread of hope now.
On another note I have 5 days til my 5K run and 17 days til end of Challenge and bikini pictures. Mary - I have about 10-15 more pounds to go, so, I will do my 4th Challenge and finish this year up with 4 full Challenges. I have been at this since January 2, 2012 and plan and "hope" to continue on for the rest of my life. I love where I am in life and don't want to lose it :)
Okay Shellbells - hope you feel better soon. Just get thru and finish STRONG girl! You can do this !!!
Okay ladies - we are women hear is ROAR!!! Who else can buy the bacon, bring it home, fry it up and make money with it??? WE CAN!!!! Have a great BFL week ladies - Love Ya - LacyJ
HELLOOOOO LACYJ! Good to hear from you! I like your dad's attitude!
How are you feeling, Shellbells? We hope you are cool in your workshop hotel. AND I HOPE YOU BOUGHT ONE OF THE BED WEDGES - did you get that message? Come to think about it, you never mentioned it. I sent you websites for bed wedges that are inflatable so you can put them in your suitcase!
Facebook is great, L J because we can pictures of one another, and our families.
Burlesque. Pole dancing. What else?! Are you performing or in a class?
You are both beautiful people. No doubt about that.
I'm sorry to hear you are sad, LacyJ. I don't know how many important people have died in your life, but it takes over your whole world. Time slows down, you're kind of in a sad little bubble and the world spins on without you. Even if you aren't close to the person, the tasks that have to be accomplished are daunting. ... Or he has cooties like the rest of the boys ... except Tom who is a hottie!
Can't wait to hear about the 5K! And it must be so exciting to get to the point where you are attractive in a bikini. Congratulations! I could wear a bikini, but no one would ever know. It would get lost in the folds. (Okay, now we have to wait for Shell to get her breath back after laughing like that!
No, I'm a vegetarian. I'm going to have to fry up the tofu and make money with it!
I love your husband's delusions, Shelley - don't discourage him! The ground will be shaking in Canada while the two of you are up there honeymooning, particularly after he sees the new goodies on you! How embarrassing it must have been to immediately come up with 2 men you fantasize about, and he says, all bewildered and stuff, "Shelley." He is too precious! Ain't no way I would have answered that question in front of him. That therapist is an idiot! "Let's see now. You are already having problems in your relationship. Both your kids are having trouble with drugs. Let's just push everybody right off the frickin CLIFF." Dumb a$$.
Sure hope you spent the day in a cool hotel and are feeling better (although it should be much better in San Diego anyway). Hotels are great – you can crank that AC all the way up! Love that you saw the weight gain as water retention, SB – you ROCK! No way it could be anything else unless you have been munching on rocks. Hang in there with the eating this week. Pick out meals that are on program and rave about how they are some of your favorite foods and refuse to share! And who cares if your exercises are in perfect order, whatever that is? Phillips probably said do aerobics on Monday (or whatever), and upper body workout on Tuesday, etc., just to make it easy for people to know what a schedule should look like. And just so you know, ain't no way I'd get up to run at 5 in the morning. I'd stay happily in my pumpkin body rather than do that! Glad your gorgeous leg muscles are feeling better.
Tomorrow is the beginning of my 8th week! Where did the time go?! I am still amazed about not having any cravings. I do sometimes want _more_ program food, but that's manageable – just wait a couple of hours!
Major hugs and BFL wishes!
Hi girlfriends....
Got to San Diego....guess what? It's 95 fricken degrees and 80 percent humidity due to the pacific storms....Great> I have the AC down all the way and I am loving that! hotels are great in a heat wave!!! I had the most delicious mahi mahi for dinner with fresh veggies and a roasted poblano sauce. TO DIE FOR - light and really good!
Last October I ran a 5K (fat and all)... I had been running all last year about 2-3 miles every two or three days but never lost weight....frustrating.
This hotel has a fabulous gym. every kind of weight machines, aerobic machine and free weights you could want....they even have machines outside under an awning looking at the ocean! but guess what? they dont open until 6:30! what a bunch of idiots....most gyms are open 24 hours in hotels...it's not like the staff has to man it or do anything for you.....so I cant use it because we start training at 7:30. so back to original plan of 5AM run on the beach strand.
Actually Tom is very cool with it...he knows all my fantasies and he hasnt left me yet!! LOL BUT, it was awkward and I just Assumed he would say like Angelina Jolie or victoria Beckham or something....OOPS. She was actually a good therapist. a bit unconventional but it worked for us and she helped us keep our family together..... we have many more funny moments like that one....hehehe
Lacy - I know what it;s like to have a bad day.....I was depressed a little and highly stressed on my 3 hour journey to San Diego.....and I was hurtin, hot and feeling swollen. UGGGH. When was he due back from NY?? I feel your pain in waitingn and wondering....I am sending good thoughts your way!
Mary....I laughed SOOOO hard at your bikini comment...mainly because that's what would happen if I put one on!! HAHAHA
I love that old commercial....i can hear the music now...and I LOVE BACON - LOL - yes....we are WOMAN. HEAR US ROAR...
Mary, Where did you send the wedges links...did I miss a post? I just went back and looked for it....By my name it says SHELLBELLS (1) like I have a message. IF you sent it there..I have no idea where to find it...Ive tried...Please help.
OK ladies..its off to bed for me or I will NEVER run tomorrow.
Good morning!
Dont have time for a long post...i got up a half hour late BUT ran 2 miles along the beach boardwalk. it isnt all that cool, but there is cloud cover (high humidity) but a slight cooling ocean breeze. it was very surreal, beautiful and the run was SO GOOD. I keep really good form and ran "on my toes" ALMOST the full way. Im gonna do it again tomorrow..
I will discuss some interesting things that happened later....
Time for a quick shower and get to this training where I will SIT all day!
Hope your mornings are terrific!!!
Hi Shelley,
No time for a message but wanted to get you started on finding a bed wedge. I did post it in the Forum somewhere, but they are easy to find. Just search for "inflatable bed wedge" and you will find a bunch of different ones. Here are the ones that came up on Amazon:
Back Be Nimble (!):
The Comfort Store:
I don't know anything about the last two stores, but eBay and Amazon are certainly safe.
Gotta go finish writing an exam and preparing for class. Have an awesome BFL kinda day, ladies!
PS: Did you ever notice that no one (except the scammer!) ever joins our thread?! LOL!
Hi Ladies,
I am blogging from work!!!! Just wanted to wish you ladies a great BFL kind of day. Life happens and we can handle that - one day at a time.
Shellbells - running on the beach - waaaaaay cool - you go girl!!
Mary - Always there for us with a laugh - a tip on how to get or find something - how to get thru - you are GREAT!
No word from Street Stud yet - and it is day 8. I still have a thread of hope for one more week - then - I give up and move on to the next adventure :)
Have a great day - Carpe Diem!
Love you both!
PS: We did have a couple other ladies log on a time or so, but we must have lost them or perhaps they went to another blog - we will keep movin' it forward :)
Good afternoon...
OMG.....9 hours of training....I thought I would die....I am far too hyper to sit that long...thank goodness they had some fun interactive things....but STILL. yikes
I started panicking this morning. My A/C broke in my room...after the run and the shower I was still sweating. I could not cool off....I had one hour to get make up done and hair and i was a complete mess. NO BREEZE got into my room. just got back to my room and it's been broken ALL FRIGGEN DAY....so they never cam to fix it......just called down and wasnt so nice.,,,it's like 80 and humid in my room.....IM GONNA DIE. The maintenance guy came...to TEACH ME HOW TO TURN IT ON.....and guess what? I already KNOW how to turn it on....CRAP. So now he is going on the roof to see about fixing it. What a dork. PRAY I get air....I tried to change rooms but they are full. FIGURES
Lunch was a "working lunch" so I did the best I could....cold cuts and wheat bread....no too bad. BUT at 3PM they brought in FRESH SOFT pretzels...I had one....
OOPS cusotmer is here for dinner....post more later
I live for the day when I say "the run was SO GOOD"! I used to enjoy running (but never even a mile) ... mostly running off aggravation with my ex! Now I'm not married. I lack motivation, like a bad actor. Oh yeah, the motivation is supposed to be the NEEEED to be fit and buff. I forgot. ... That's not enough! Is the shore you ran on the ocean, crashing waves? That's one of my two favorite forms of therapy – crashing waves, and the other is the forest or mountains.
What is the benefit of running on your toes? Or are you just a frustrated ballarina?!
Looking forward to "some interesting things that happened"
Hi LacyJ! Thanks for taking a few minutes from work to reach out with a little sunshine!
Thank you for the kudos! Always glad to provide the entertainment.
I tried to be positive and supportive about The Street Stalker (!), but truth be known, I would be feeling the same thing in your place. It is so frustrating. But, if he doesn't come back to you, he clearly wasn't the right guy. But he dances. Crap. Okay, we'll wait one more week. He'd better be back! But just in case, maybe you should go sit in traffic!
Carpe diem always reminds me of my eldest, Katie, except she put a little twist on it: Carpe Shoe-um! She collects shoes. I don't mean 10 pair of loafers in different colors. I mean designer shoes to the tune of $600 even! And she wears almost all of them! She is gorgeous and always dressed to the 9s.
NINE HOURS … FOLLOWED BY A SAUNA? O.M.G.! That's just wrong. I would have been standing on the front desk SCREAMING. Not in front of the desk. ON IT! Oh yeah, it's always more effective to make a spectacle in front of the other guests. That's just awful. And to have to come in from your glorious run and try to get ready for a professional meeting dripping with sweat? Be sure you get compensation for this. A free night or two on some future date when you and Hunka wanna go to San Diego for a weekend! If this happens again (and it had better not or I'll have to come out there), you could at least put your make-up on in one of the public bathrooms downstairs. And the hair. I understand that slicked back sweaty hair is all the rage now! Oh, oh, and Mr. Testosterone coming up to show you how to turn the AC on. … Well, you are just a weak brainless little girl now, right? Grrr.
I so understand the panic and not being able to cool off. If someone gets into the driver's seat and doesn't immediately start up the car, I am freakin' out. And I was told by someone who should know that hotels NEVER run out of rooms. They don't make them all available just in case the pope should drop in or something. Oy. Now I'm all agitated and stuff! (jk)
Don't you worry one bit about your lunch and pretzel. (You had a protein with the pretzel, right?!) You did great! You probably burned it all off in aerobic anxiety! Just pick up again tomorrow.
Look forward to hearing from you guys again. ROCK THIS BFL THING!
Love and warm fuzzies and stuff.
Good morninog my little lovely's...
OK, so Mr. Testosterone fixed the air...I came back after dinner and it was a friggen virtual frozen tundra. LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.....AWWW. The world is right again. Yes, Im gonna get them to compensate me. The funny thing is the front desk didn't take care of it....the little Ol operator did. She couldnt get front desk to pick up and it reverted to her.....she said...I am gonna take care of this for you and voila. Mr. Testosterone came to the front door. YEAH.
I started running with a book called "Run Your Butt Off" by runners magazine. I read it and followed it exactly and started "jogging" for lack of a better word. I think I ran exactly one minute the first time. I almost died. I mean really almost died. but not so slowly I was at a half mile, then a mile then so on. I shouldnt say I didnt lose any weight. I lost 18 pounds from Jan to Oct. but in Oct. ran a 5 K and then was hospitalized for pneumonia.....and for months I just couldn't recover. it took a long time to run again, but when I did I had to start sort of over.,... so I stopped and gained the weight back and this whole year never got back to it until BFL!
Here is what is strange with me. I need to lose 50 pounds.....and I know where the weight will come off.....BUT, most people dont realize that I need to lose that much weight. I have a lot of muscle (albeit covered in a fat layer).....I didnt feel fat running yesterday. weird. Running on your toes.....that was dumb. It's really running on the balls of your feet. you wouldnt realize it watching me or anyone else doing it but you just keep your heels off the ground just slightly. They say that african (and many other barefoot runners in the world run "on the balls of their feet" and take much shorter strides...so fast, short strides and on your balls of your feet. This prevents the knee, hip, shin pain that runners typically get. If I run heels first, my knees and hips ache so bad, I cannot continue. If I run "up on my feet" the calves and quads take the energy, not the bones. ITS HARD and the first time I switched to this form I could only run a couple minutes as my calves were in a knot and aching. NOW, I can run 2 miles like that...no effect on shins, knees and hips. perfect and more enjoyable for me.
Now, I didnt run this morning as my thighs are killing me.....I am going go to the gym after class tonight.
When I was running, it was weird. There is NO lights on the boardwalk which I find strange and since there was cloud cover it was pretty dark. I have bad night vision so I really didnt notice people (dressed in dark colors) coming at me with dogs...(that were black) so it took a while to get used to that. Then there were several homeless people sleeping alongside the boardwalk which was so sad (and kinda freaky) but got used to that.....I passed a WEIRD guy who I felt was Odd and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. He was just walking the board walk...a big guy...and just watching people run by.....he was REALLY staring at me when I passed and I have no idea why.....but he was sort of walking and turning back and walking 20 - 30 yards and turning back again....I looked back a couple times until I finally relaxed again. But here is a strange thing. Too long a story for here. I had a not so good childhood...(big deal....LOTS of peeps have) but to say the least I wasnt close to my father and didnt have a real relationship. But this family came into my life and I met Johhn Spradley who literally became my adoptive father. He is the MOST important person who has ever been in my life...Tom being the second most important. He loved me and I loved him, his wife and their family so much. I would see him about 5-6 ttimes a year but we talked on yahoo or through email almost everyday. He was the smartest man I ever knew. He died about 3 years ago and I was DEVESTATED. SO, on the run I FELT him. I know that weird and maybe you will think I am a total freak. But he just POPPED in my mind through the music and I literally FELT him with me. he was always a cautious man who didnt take chances and he felt I was too trusting of people. He would NOT like the fact that I was running in the dark on a public strand, in an area that I dont know. Too much risk he would say. But I felt his protection through the run....and I was thankful for it. when I got back to my room...he was gone.
It made me think about him all day and how much I miss him.
Afraid of this site.....sending now
Oops...gotta hop in the shower for 8 hours MORE of class....was gonna write more.....but realized the time is late
have a great BFL DAY!!!

As Spring approaches, we're starting to think about all the events that will soon be upon us: graduation, spring weddings, engagement parties and baby showers. You're not the guest of honor, but you still want to look your best. Here are our suggestions for how to show off your style without upstaging your date.
Awards Ceremony2 of 10
When accompanying a date to an occasion where he is receiving an award or honor, it's best to look put-together in the simplest possible way. Try an LBD for maximum style that won't outshine the guest of honor.
SHOP NOW: Topshop dress, $80
Best Friend's Birthday3 of 10
Going out for a night on the town to celebrate your best bud? Let her shine, but choose a fun accessory like a sequin clutch bag. That way you'll feel dressed up, but you won't be stealing any of her spotlight.
SHOP NOW: Tasha clutch, $98
Job Interview4 of 10
When interviewing, remember that you want to look polished. Conservative and clean will earn you points in this situation, but you can show off your personality in a suit paired with a subtly printed or colored shirt.
SHOP NOW: Reiss jacket, $107
Shower Host5 of 10
Whether it's a baby, bridal or any other type of shower, remember, you are not the most important person in the room. If you want to make a style point, wear a piece of statement jewelry and let the other guests ooh and ahh over the person you're celebrating.
SHOP NOW: Suzanna Dai necklace, $395

Wedding Guest7 of 10
What to wear in this situation is always dictated by the invitation and occasion. If you are attending a wedding in the Bahamas, it's safe to say that everyone will be in sundresses and sandals. But if it's cocktails and dancing in New York, you'll most likely be seeing a lot of black dresses and stilettos. When in doubt, ask the person who invited you.
SHOP NOW: Zimmermann dress, $275
Wing Man8 of 10
If you're out trying to find a date for a friend, you don't want to call attention away from her so find an outfit that you feel attractive in but that's not over-the-top. We're thinking jeans are probably part of the mix here.

The Keystone XL pipeline project was proposed in 2005 for the purposes of transporting tar sands oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
As the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline advances, a reader advises U.S. Sen. Angus King, above, to look at the benefits of the pipeline, including the creation of a estimated 40,000 to 60,000 construction jobs.
2012 AP File Photo/Robert F. Bukaty
Five years later, the energy marketplace is finally growing tired of baseless assertions by environmental groups, and the project seems to be gaining bipartisan support.
Not surprisingly, freshman Sen. Angus King recently voted against the measure when it was included as an amendment to the Senate budget. This stance reflects his long-established relationship with alternative energy interests.
However, the State Department recently commissioned a fourth environmental impact study on the project. All of the earlier ones have shown minimal likelihood of an environmental incident. At this point, what greater assurance of safety can opponents of the plan ask for?
Last fall, Sen. King held himself out as the pragmatic alternative to politicians on the left and right.
I ask him to please consider this project from the objective position that he promised the voters.
It has become exceedingly clear that, should Keystone XL not be built, these oil reserves will be transported to Canada utilizing diesel locomotive -- a process that would vastly increase the level of carbon emissions versus transportation via pipeline.
As well, transport by diesel locomotive is more costly and would therefore result in a greater cost to the end user, negating the purpose of the program -- decreased energy costs.
Along with the saving in energy costs, the project will create an estimated 40,000 to 60,000 construction jobs that would provide a much-needed boost to that industry as we move out of the recession.
I appreciate Sen. King's commitment to preserving our environment, but with regard to Keystone XL, he needs to look past the rhetoric from environmental groups and make a pragmatic decision that will best serve Maine and the United States.

Article overstated flaws of online school program
Colin Woodard's recent article ("Flaws found at online education provider wooing Maine," April 25) left out important facts that put in context a probe in Florida of the online learning company K12 Inc.
The article focused on a draft report from the Florida Department of Education's Inspector General that found a small number of instances where records could not affirm the subject matter certification for some K12 teachers in Florida.
However, it is not a violation of Florida law per se to have teachers teaching courses outside their subject certification.
The Florida Department of Education documents more than 8,700 teachers in schools who are teaching courses out of their subject area.
In fact, the very district that filed the complaint against K12 admitted having some 100 teachers teaching courses outside their certification fields.
K12 is a respected provider of digital learning programs to thousands of U.S. school districts. We proudly employ and serve thousands of teachers nationwide.
K12 takes compliance seriously and, in this case, we quickly fixed and improved our internal processes.
Importantly, the Florida Inspector General reported there was no evidence to support the allegation -- made by a single school district in Florida and repeated in the media -- that K12 intentionally avoided teacher certification laws. K12's instructional model in Florida is fully compliant with state requirements.

Abraham recounts his personal search for the shared ancestor of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. "Exquisitely written," wrote the Boston Globe, "100 percent engaging." The book was featured on the cover of Time magazine, became a runaway New York Times bestseller, and inspired thousands of grassroots interfaith discussions around the world.
Where God Was Born describes his year-long trek retracing the Bible through the frontlines of Israel, Iraq, and Iran. "Bruce Feiler is a real-life Indiana Jones," wrote the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Excellent," said the Washington Post. "Feiler's careful writing and sweeping histories of the region provide compelling reading." The book was also a Top Ten New York Times bestseller.
Bruce Feiler has written for numerous publications, including The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and Gourmet, where he won three James Beard Awards. He is also a frequent contributor to National Public Radio, CNN, and Fox News. He has been the subject of Jay Leno joke and a Jeopardy! question, and his face appears on a postage stamp in the Grenadines.
His latest book, America's Prophet: Moses and the American Story, recounts his unprecedented journey through the key moments points of American history—from the pilgrims to the founding fathers, the Civil War to the civil rights movement—exploring how the Exodus is America's greatest story and Moses is our true founding father. Simon Winchester called it "one of the most original, intelligent and endlessly fascinating books I have read in years. It should become a set book for anyone wanting to know what truly makes America tick."
In 2006, PBS aired the miniseries Walking the Bible with Bruce Feiler that received record ratings and was viewed by 20 million people in its first month. "Beguiling," wrote the Wall Street Journal. "Mr. Feiler is an engaging and informed guide. Three splendid hours."
A native of Savannah, Georgia, Bruce Feiler lives in New York with wife, Linda Rottenberg, and their twin daughters. He is writing a book about fatherhood that will be published in May, 2010.

I decided to get out my Pentax MX after about 20 years and go back to the slow-motion world of film. Two problems, though.
One, the mirror sometimes sticks in the up position. I haven't been able to tie it to any particular conditions. Once, I put the camera aside with it stuck and it was working properly the next day. For a while.
The other is the lights for the exposure meter work erratically. I had put in fresh batteries (checking the manual to make sure they were in the correct way). Things worked better after I bent the contact tab in the bottom of the battery compartment up a little. Then it gave out. A frustrated slap on the camera got it working again. For a while.
The last camera shop in town referred me to a camera repair place, but they couldn't help me and referred me here.
So, is there anyone out there who repairs old Pentaxes?

Religious Pluralism Engaging Political Culture and Public Policy
Welcome to the Center
The Center for Engaged Religious Pluralism addresses issues in the public square by engaging religiously diverse perspectives to work toward a more inclusive political culture and solutions to public policy issues. For decades, U.S. popular political debate has been framed as an argument between religious right and secular left. That frame is becoming outmoded as an interfaith movement has begun to take hold in the U.S. and around the world, fostering greater understanding and cooperation among people of many faiths.
Since 2008, the Center has contributed to that trend by advocating a different way to frame the popular political discourse through the "America's Sacred Ground" project and providing opportunities for a wide spectrum of religious viewpoints to be heard. This work offers insights for creative, spiritually inspired approaches to public policy in areas such as prison inmate religious accommodation and economic justice, and cultivates student interfaith leadership and engagement.
"Conversations in the public square about religion, politics, and public policy too often are limited to a divide between the religious right and secular liberals. The Center strives to broaden the dialogue to include perspectives from all of the world's religions." -- Dr. Barbara A. McGraw, Director
Our Mission:
The Center for Engaged Religious Pluralism engages religiously diverse and non-faith perspectives ("engaged religious pluralism") to promote interfaith awareness and interreligious understanding and thereby contribute to an enriched, religiously diverse national and international discourse on matters of public concern and to a more inclusive community at SMC. The Center's reach outside of SMC especially addresses issues that impact diverse religious adherents and communities (e.g., prison religion accommodation) or issues for which an inclusive religiously diverse discourse could offer views beyond an all-too-common binary discourse frame (e.g., economic justice issues).
Our Vision:
CERP aims to be, and to be known in national and international academic, government, business, and non-profit forums and in the SMC community as, an influential and effective leader for its mission-driven, engaged religious pluralism events, educational programs, and scholarship.

Flag Day in Rhinelander
Submitted: 06/14/2013
Enlarge Image
- You see the American flag flying every day, showing off the red white and blue.
But Friday was the day to honor our flag.
Some credit the idea of Flag Day to a Waubeka man living in the late 1800s.
It didn�t become an official holiday until 1949.
Today is the 64th Flag Day.
If you plan to raise a flag, we have some etiquette tips for you.
The flag should be raised quickly and lowered ceremoniously.
It should be lit at all hours of the day.
The cell phone tower in downtown Rhinelander didn�t have a flag up today.
But there will be a flag raising for it Tuesday.

Kids learn about hospital
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- Hospitals can sometimes scare kids and even many adults.
That's why one Northwoods hospital wants those kids to be comfortable with doctors if they ever need their help.
Merrill kindergarteners visited Ministry Good Samaritan Health Center on Wednesday.
The kids got to see an ambulance, physical therapy and x rays.
"We try to show them that you know what, the hospital isn't so scary. And we bring them through different areas that they may experience when they come in or they have a family member here. And a lot of times children, if they don't know, they're very afraid. A hospital can be very intimidating, says Jane Bentz, Director of Foundation and Community Outreach.

Correction: Northwoods man initially charged with attempted homicide, takes plea deal
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- We want to correct a mistake we made in our Newscasts at ten last night and again this morning.
The story was about 31-year old James Peterson of Lac du Flambeau who accepted a plea deal.
We wrongly said he had originally been charged with first degree intentional homicide.
He actually had been charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide and was convicted of reduced charges.
We apologize for that error.
Witnesses told police Peterson showed up to a party with a knife and drunkenly started a fight.
Other witnesses say Peterson was attacked.
This week he accepted a plea deal.
Peterson pleaded no contest to hurting someone by carelessly using a weapon.
He was also found guilty of a second O-W-I.
Peterson will find out his sentence in August.

Home sales on the rise in the Northwoods
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- Home sales fell in the state of Wisconsin, but they're on the rise in the Northwoods.
Real Estate experts say home sales are up 5% in Oneida County. Home sales for the Northwoods are up 4%. Experts say right now it's a buyers market.
�If you're a seller right now you are probably going to be seeing some low ball offers,� says Ashlei Highfill, Century 21 Sales Associate. �We just encourage people to respond to any offer that they get not to just reject it or be offended but these days we are seeing a lot of buyers coming in and offering a lot less than what sellers are asking for.�
Experts say fewer homes are being foreclosed. This allows more families to make first time home purchases.
�It�s great to see that people are obviously getting back to work so they can afford to take that opportunity to put their family in their first home it's exciting for all of us,� says Highfill. �We're always happy to see somebody get that first house for their kids we're seeing some people that are making more money now so they're buying a move up house.�
Overall home sales in Wisconsin fell 11% compared to this time last year.

The ingredients for a harsh winter
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- 4.7 might seem like just a random number, but it gives us an idea of just how cold it was this year. 4.7 degrees was the average temperature for this winter. It's the coldest winter in more than a century.
It�s common to see these sights and hear these sounds in a typical winter. But this year, we heard them a bit more. The Northwoods fought through it�s snowiest and coldest winter on record. What made it so rare was the persistent cold.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin talking politics at Marquette University
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin is scheduled to talk politics during an hour-long forum at Marquette University in Milwaukee.
Baldwin's office says she'll discuss health care reform, immigration, minimum wage and Washington's political divide at Wednesday's event.
The 52-year-old was elected to the Senate in 2012. She previously spent 14 years in Congress, and before that was in the state Assembly for six years.
She serves on the Senate's budget committee, as well as committees involving homeland security, health, aging and natural resources.
A Marquette Law School poll last month said her favorable and unfavorable ratings were both 35 percent. Another 27 percent said they didn't know enough about her to form an opinion.
The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Trost aide: Walker to sign police bill
Submitted: 04/22/2014
- An aide to a Wisconsin lawmaker says Gov. Scott Walker intends to sign a bill that would put outside agencies in charge of investigating officer-involved deaths.
Craig Trost, an aide to Rep. Chris Taylor, says in an email that Walker's office notified Taylor's office that he plans to sign the bill Wednesday.
Taylor, a Madison Democrat, and Rep. Garey Bies, R-Sister Bay, developed the legislation in response to three high-profile deaths in the last 10 years. None of those incidents resulted in criminal charges.
Supporters say the new requirements will counter claims that police protect their own from consequences of using deadly force. But police observers say the bill could create conflict and confusion for Wisconsin agencies that have traditionally done the investigations themselves.
The bill passed the Legislature earlier this year.

CHARCUTERIE DEPT. about sausages. For too long, sausages were considered humble fare. Recently, though, they have attained a higher status. Sausage-making was practiced in ancient Egypt and became a thriving industry there during the late Byzantine period. The writer appreciates fresh sausages, but her heart belongs to the traditional bologna and salami types that are ready to eat. Most of these are difficult to find. The goose liverwurst that she loved in Hamburg, Germany, continues to elude her. Mentions Peter Grünauer and Kurt Gutenbrunner. One of the best sausages the writer has eaten was in Italy, sliced from a peppercorn-studded, rose-pink pork mortadella that weighed two hundred and seventy-one pounds and was nearly five feet long and eighteen inches wide. The staggering diversity of Italian sausages includes hundreds of provincial specialties. Some are reproduced in New York for Cesare Casella, of Salumeria Rosi. Mentions Christopher Lee and the restaurant Il Buco Alimentari. France's charcuterie includes an array of sausages similar to Italy's rustic specimens but with more subtly restrained flavors. Describes how difficult it is to find good hard, dried kosher beef salami in New York.

Minn. health officials: 27 flu deaths this seasonST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota health officials have confirmed 23 more flu-related deaths, raising the season total to 27.
By: Associated Press, INFORUM
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota health officials have confirmed 23 more flu-related deaths, raising the season total to 27.
Health Commissioner Edward Ehlinger told reporters Thursday the state is in the midst of its most severe flu outbreak in several years, and it's putting stress on the health care system.
More than 1,100 people have been hospitalized with flu symptoms across Minnesota this season. Several hospitals have restricted visitors in an attempt to protect patients and staff. Most of the deaths and hospitalizations have been people over 65.
Ehlinger says it's not too late to get a flu shot, but the sooner people who need them get them the better.
He also says that people who are sick with flu symptoms can help blunt the outbreak by staying home from work or school.

SOURCE Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc.
Healthcare clients increasingly utilize Allscripts dbMotion™ and Allscripts FollowMyHealth™ for patient engagement, care coordination, management of chronic conditions and analytics
CHICAGO, Feb. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX) reported a series of new population health client commitments encompassing multiple electronic health record (EHR)-agnostic solutions, including the Allscripts dbMotion semantic interoperability platform; the Allscripts FollowMyHealth patient engagement platform, and real-time, point-of-care analytics tools.
Allscripts client commitments are consistent with recent market trends towards population health strategies that leverage data and insights captured by clinical systems, such as Allscripts Sunrise™ Clinicals, Allscripts TouchWorks® and Allscripts Professional™ EHRs.
"Allscripts is committed to working as a partner and providing superior solutions to help our clients succeed in critical population health management initiatives," said Paul M. Black, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Allscripts. "Population health management and consumer engagement will likely be game-changers for healthcare providers and other healthcare organizations, enabling them to improve the health of patients and drive costs out of the system. We are pleased to see the healthcare industry's growing adoption and recognition of the critical importance of superior population health management."
Healthcare organizations of varying sizes and focus are among those that have implemented Allscripts dbMotion platform in recent months:
"One of Springfield Clinic's most important strategic goals in 2014 is the transition toward value-based medical care," said Shashi Tripathi, Chief Information Officer at Springfield Clinic. "Using Allscripts dbMotion platform, Springfield Clinic will integrate community information and identify care gaps at the point of service, giving providers the pertinent information they need to improve patient outcomes and ultimately achieve Springfield Clinic's mission to provide the highest quality health care to the people of central Illinois."
Claudio Fort, CEO and President of North Country Hospital, said clinicians across the organization "identified the need to integrate clinical systems as a high priority, so they would have access to a complete, single patient record to improve the quality of care provided," adding that medication reconciliation was among their key objectives. "Allscripts dbMotion solution likewise provides North Country with the agility to prepare for and respond to ongoing changes in healthcare," he noted.
With the addition of these new clients, Allscripts dbMotion-which received ONC-ACB certification for Meaningful Use Stage 2 by the Drummond Group late last year and was recognized as the top ambulatory/physician EHR health information exchange solution in the 2014 Black Book Rankings-now supports connectivity in approximately 10 percent of hospitals across the U.S.
Likewise, Allscripts FollowMyHealth patient engagement platform-which received 2014 modular EHR certification for both ambulatory and inpatient settings from Drummond Group's ONC-ACB program-was selected by the following healthcare organizations:
"Allscripts FollowMyHealth truly fits our long-term strategy for patient engagement and empowerment, which is key to improving both individual and population health," said Karie Ryan, CNIO at Health First in Melbourne, Fla. "It will provide our patients with a single and convenient access point for all their health information, and serve as a platform for improved quality across all of our care settings."

Introducing Finger Foods 08/25/2012 12:00 AM 08/28/2012 08:25 AM
Finger feeding is a very important developmental milestone for babies and usually begins around 8 to 10 months of age, depending on your baby and their interest.
 Finger feeding is a very important developmental milestone for babies and usually begins around 8 to 10 months of age, depending on your baby and their interest.You often realize that while you are trying to spoon feed a baby of that age, that they are reaching out to grab the spoon or grabbing at your fork as you put something into your own mouth. This naturally occurs as you baby explores the environment around them, and they are always putting things into their mouths, so it would seem logical to start finger foods.The easiest way to start finger feeding with your baby is by giving them small pieces of mushy food that you are already feeding them, but rather than putting it on a spoon to feed them, put the food on their high chair tray and watch them as they scoop it into their hand and then it goes straight to their mouths.Every child is different too. So, some immediately love putting foods with texture into their mouths and will happily feed themselves almost anything. Then there is another group that doesn't like the texture or feeling of having non pureed food in their mouths. This group happily picks up the food, but once it hits their lips, out is comes as if it was some sort of poison.As with so many things, every child is different, so don't push it, but at the same time continue to offer bite sized pieces of mushy table food. Let your child explore the textures of different foods as this is integral to becoming familiar with different textures. It is easy to let a child's natural hunger help drive them to taste things too, so while you are preparing their meal, put a few things on their tray and see how they do with finger feeding.There are really no rules as to what you can give to your child for finger foods, as long as the food is well cooked, soft, and is in small bite sized portions. Children (similar to old folks without their teeth) don't chew their food, but gum it, so you need to be aware of offering foods that might pose a choking hazard. So any fresh vegetable that is well cooked, like carrots, green beans, peas and corn are easy for a baby to pick up and eat.Same thing for fresh fruits, with blueberries and pieces of ripe pineapple, or kiwi, or banana. It is easy to offer a baby the over ripe fruits that you previously threw away as being too mushy. Babies love it all and truly need to experiment with the different textures of foods. Other good things to try are pieces of pancake, pasta, scrambled eggs and beans and rice. Do NOT offer peanuts, popcorn, hard candies, chips, or chunks of meats, as these may cause choking and aspiration risks.By the time your child is around 1, they will really be mostly finger feeding and you will only be spoon feeding the yogurt, applesauce, cereals that cannot be easily finger fed. By that time too your child will no longer be scooping the foods, but they will be using their pincer grasp and are quite agile at getting everything in their mouths. The next milestone will be as your child begins spoon feeding themselves!!That's your daily dose. We'll chat again tomorrow!Send your question or comment to Dr. Sue!

asa, GEB, Rob Powell
Those still life are really cool. Nice job.
Man, I haven't been on the site in a few days and I come back after a brief Ricardo Robles-less bout to find a whole 2 updates. It's like some kinda holiday where gifts are given, or something.
There's a little bit of awkwardness in the pose of the space-marine type guy with the gun/sword. The arm holding the gun in particular is really oddly placed.
I absolutely love those guys in the sketches up at the top there. Especially the dude with the lantern. That ceremonial armor is really cool. Love the details.
Finally, it's always a pleasure to see you do some COW. Great take on the topic. As you said, it seems a bit rushed in areas (the fur in particular) but it's got a nice sense of scale and the I love the design. Hope you can do something for the current round, which we have the pleasure of having VegasMike hosting.

Absolutely stunning piece, Ricardo! So much movement and rhythm. Probably one of my favorites from you. I have some questions, though: how would you go about adding watercolor? Would you print this out and paint over it? Or are you talking about digital watercolors?
Looking for critique!
I think I´m calling it done, now moving to other stuff.
rumpenstiltzkin thank ya my friend
gerezon thanks!
SmallPolly, thanks for the kind words man.
Shadow Stalker thanks!! I use to paint in a paper, scan it and then put it on the psd file in any layer mode, probably overlay or so. Anyways I decided to go fully digital with this one.
cool style, your designs are very nice as well!
Looks great, Ricardo, tons of movement, and dynamism, great sense of unity between the character and the birds. If I have one nitpick, it is something I see all too often with many digital works. It has to do with chain brushes: they are an immensely useful brush to have, and do not discourage their use, but I think that they should be used in conjunction with a some kind of highlight or shadow that serves to give them more form than what simple perspective allows. The way you've positioned them, tapered them off and faded them out has done a lot to give them a sense of materiality, but they will always read in that realm of "custom brush" until they're worked back into (even a little) with painting.

kevin, thank you!
Si Swe, thanks for the suggestion, man. I have to say I fully agree with that you said. I often think the same when I see an indiscriminate use of that chain brushes, it needs more work than the simple stroke. Now I think i was a bit tired and just went for the easiest solution.. I will work on the chain, although I wanted to keep a quick effect, the illustration deserves that touch.
Beautiful and dynamic piece Ricardo!!! Maybe the bright background makes the subject to dark. Keep up the great work !!!
Hey man!
Outstanding sketches and pieces ! As aways raising the bar
Thanks for posting these. Really beautiful work
I'm digging it!
Awsome dynamic you catch in that illustration! Nice concpets.

Unlocking Migration's Secrets
For centuries the study of bird migration has been riddled with mystery and unanswered questions: Where do birds go in winter? How far do they fly? Can they navigate a hurricane? Scientists are tapping new technologies to find the answers, and transforming everything we know--or think we know--about birds.
Last August a female whimbrel took off from the treeless tundra of Southampton Island, which guards the iceberg-choked entrance to Hudson Bay in the Canadian subarctic, and set a course southeast.
Long-limbed and gray-brown, she was the size of a small duck, bearing the field marks that make this shorebird instantly identifiable--dark stripes on the crown of her head, and a long, thin, drooping crescent of a bill. It gives the whimbrel its genus name: Numenius, Greek for "new moon."
Southampton had merely been a way station for her; some weeks earlier she had arrived there from her breeding grounds on the Mackenzie River delta in the Northwest Territories, some 1,500 miles and 52 hours of flying time to the northwest. Now her bill was stained purple from weeks of gorging on the autumn tundra's bounty--blueberries, crowberries, and cloudberries, all of which her body had converted to thick layers of fat, fuel for the incredible journey ahead.
Tapered wings pumping without pause or rest, she flew east across Hudson Bay, passing thereafter over the rugged Ungava Peninsula of northern Quebec, then above the trackless boreal forests and wild rivers of Labrador. After 1,500 miles of unbroken flight, averaging 43 miles per hour, she left land behind, flying out into the open ocean somewhere south of Newfoundland.
It was here that she ran into trouble. Her flight path brought her into the remnants of Tropical Storm Gert, which was roiling its way up the north Atlantic. Fighting ferocious headwinds, the bird struggled to stay aloft as she plowed ahead at a painful crawl; for the next 27 hours her average ground speed slowed to a mere nine miles an hour.
Finally she broke through to the storm's far side. Now, with the gale at last at her back, she rocketed along at 92 mph. In little more than 90 minutes she flew 150 miles to make landfall at Cape Cod--her first rest since she'd taken off from Southampton Island four days and 2,325 miles earlier.
That we know about this migratory drama at all, much less in such extraordinary detail, is thanks to a small satellite transmitter nestled among the feathers on the whimbrel's back--part of a transformation in wildlife tracking that is making it possible for scientists to understand the movements of migratory animals with a level of precision unimaginable even a few years ago. They can comb through the chemical isotopes in a bird's feather and learn where it spent the winter, sift the DNA in its genes to tease out how migratory populations are related to one another, attach minute devices that faithfully record its location for years at a stretch by just observing the time the sun rises and sets each day, or track threatened eagles in the Appalachians by tapping into the ubiquitous cell phone network (and thus help planners avoid conflicts with new wind farms). They have found that neighboring populations of the same species may take wildly different routes to far-flung wintering areas, and that many birds show an almost incomprehensible degree of fidelity to particular stopover and wintering sites.
With that new knowledge has come a recognition of what we've badly underestimated: the profound, almost universal role that migration plays in virtually every aspect of a wild bird's life--and, with it, a new effort by dozens of researchers, agencies, and organizations like Audubon to better map these movements, better understand their significance, and harness this greater understanding for the benefit of birds.
"This new generation of telemetry has enormous potential for understanding bird biology and conservation," says Steve Kress, Audubon's vice president for bird conservation, and the founder of Project Puffin. "The new data loggers and transmitters could be far more important than bird bands, and future ornithologists may someday think of placing metal rings on bird legs as being as primitive as we might think of John James Audubon's method of tying a silver thread to a phoebe leg. This is because these new devices give us the ability to track individual birds throughout the year--something that a band was never intended to do." (To learn about the migratory secrets of some other individual species, from long-tailed ducks to pink-footed shearwaters and golden eagles, go to audubonmagazine.org.)
But by lifting the veil that has masked much of where and when birds travel, conservationists not only realize how little they know about migration. They've also learned, sometimes to their grief, that they have badly underestimated, too, the dangers facing these global wanderers--birds like the whimbrel named Hope.

The next Beautiful Woman, a woman who represents the beauty of lifeBreckenridge, MN (WDAY TV) -- For the last year, we at Forum Communications have been proud to bring you the stories of Beautiful Women in our community. They are women who possess "REAL" beauty, true inner beauty.
By: Kerstin Kealy, WDAY
Breckenridge, MN (WDAY TV) -- For the last year, we at Forum Communications have been proud to bring you the stories of Beautiful Women in our community. They are women who possess "REAL" beauty, true inner beauty.
Tonight as we wrap up our project, Kerstin Kealy introduces us to our final Beautiful Woman. Who both deserves and defines the title.
Meeting these amazing and humble women and telling their stories has changed my life. It truly has been an incredible project to be a part of.
You've shared the stories of your moms, sisters, aunts and friends.. and they've inspired our communities..
For our latest everyday angel, our Beautiful Women team traveled to Breckenridge where we met Diane Marthaler.. Or "toot" as everyone calls her. She represents the beauty of Life. It was an interview filled with tears, of both sadness and laughter, and one we will never forget.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "They gave me days to weeks to live."
That was August 27th. A day that forever changed the Marthaler family.
Scott Marthaler/Toot's Husband: "That day brought us to our knees, literally."
It's a courageous battle that started 4 years earlier. Now 41, Toot was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer in 2008. After a double mastectomy and treatment she went symptom free for two years, until a day she and her husband were on their way to their photography studio and realized something wasn't right.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: We would walk from here to the studio - about a mile and a half, and there were days I was like I'm going to fall over.
Doctors soon discovered cancer had returned. This time it was cancer of the pleura of her heart. Fluid was building up and pressing against her lungs and heart, making it hard to breathe or move.
Scott Marthaler/Toot's Husband: "If you'd have seen her several weeks ago, you'd have seen a whole different person. She wasn't supposed to be here right now."
After seeking every option, doctors told Toot and her husband Scott they had reached the end of the road.
Toot Marthaler/Beauty of Life: "She took my hand and she started to cry and she said it's your heart honey - it will just stop."
Processing the news with her husband of three years who she calls her soul mate, was almost more than she could bear , telling her two children Ashlynn, 13, and Logan, 8, was heartwrenching.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "We told them that I was going to heaven, we weren't sure when - we didn't know how long."
And it was with her children in mind, Toot started preparing, completing picture books and writing each of them heartfelt letters for all of the important moments in their lives she would miss.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "My children are young. I don't want them to forget me."
Sending her children love from heaven on their upcoming birthdays, confirmations, wedding days and when they have children of their own.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "It was hard like for their wedding, like, who are you marrying? Who is this person? I don't know this person."
Known for her signature, infectious laugh, the letters would be Toot without a touch of her incredible sense of humor
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "One I wrote, if you go out tonight, if you're with your boyfriend, wear really tight jeans and high boots. And if you're not, wear sweatpants. And then I said in the next line, or maybe that's supposed to be switched around. I'm not sure.
And then the days I write to my kids or make something for them, I bawl on those days. The other days, I'm good. There's a no crying zone today."
And in the no crying zone, there is plenty of joking.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "I'm so walking in with my hat on and go, I'm wondering if you could use the thinning shears today or just take a little off the top? What do you guys think? Because I really like this look."
She even found the joy in planning her own funeral, making it truly Toot. She'll wear the same wedding dress she wore just 3 years ago with her pink Nike shoes.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "On the way out, we're singing "celebrate good times c'mon"! Nobody's going to be crying at that point."
She's proving it's how she's chosen to live and not how she'll die that make the difference. Celebrating each day, not wasting second chances and thanking God for all of their many blessings.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "I'm one of the lucky ones who has dealt with that. Come to terms with that. So, all the time that I've spent now, I don't grieve, cause I'm wasting time. We've got some fun, kick butt stuff to do. Let's get it done."
Putting her faith in God, she has defied the diagnosis.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "I couldn't walk, couldn't breathe, I could barely talk, I was coughing. And then from fargo, August 27th until now, I've just been getting better and better and better. So we're not sure what attributes to getting better. The chemotherapy? The Metformin?"
Scott Marthaler/Toot's Husband: "We've been told that this is not going to be a long term thing. That we can only do so many rounds of Adriamycin
and then her heart will give out. I don't know, that might be true, it might not. Because what I'm seeing is that miracles are possible and I'm kind of staring at one. I don't know. I'm not looking down the road. I'm just enjoying what we've got."
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "Ok, you've never said that before to me."
Even as she faces her biggest fear.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "Leaving behind what I leave behind. Them."
Creating a rare moment where her smile fades, but just for a moment. Making a difference in the lives of all she meets with her strength and courage, inspiring prayer groups and gatherings, bringing people together.
Toot Marthaler/The Beauty Of Life: "And we believe that I have work to do. I have work that's not finished. Like all of the people's lives that I touch, I believe, I'm not done doing that yet."
You can read much more about Toot in Monday's Forum. And we'll continue to follow this amazing woman, and you can too. We've created a link to her caring bridge site on our website wday.com.

All the best things in life are free! (Especially at the LC)
27 Jun 2011
Some cynics may argue that there is no such thing as a free lunch but, with a 'glass half full' attitude and stacks of good hard evidence there is plenty of ground to argue that all the best things in life are free. With 50% of households expecting their financial situation to worsen over the next few months the more free things the better!
For instance, walks on the beach needn't cost a penny. Wales alone is blessed with no less than 45 beaches, from Swansea Bay to Cardigan Bay, hours can be spent, whatever the weather simply wandering and taking in the landscape, littered with coves, creatures and all things costal.
And of course some of the finer things in life are also free, a long gossip with an old friend, reminiscing with family about holidays past and of course a free bus when you pass the mile stone age of 60!
We know that life can be expensive and so what better way to end the weekend than by doing something for free! The LC has now launched 'Kid's Go Free Sundays'. Between 5pm and 8pm every Sunday, kids can enter the LC waterpark for free with every paying adult. Ending the weekend with a bit of family time where the kids won't cost you anything really does go to show that the best things in life are free.

Here we have it, even players are calling him elite. It must be true. Joe Flacco is elite, he's beaten the best, therefore he is the best QB in the NFL!
Here we have it, even players are calling him elite. It must be true. Joe Flacco is elite, he's beaten the best, therefore he is the best QB in the NFL!
Flacco = G.O.A.T.
(1)Aaron Donald, DT Pittsburgh - (2)Allen Robinson, WR Penn State - (3)Jack Mewhort, T Ohio State
(4)Arthur Lynch, TE Georgia - (5a)Tyler Gaffney, RB Stanford - (5b)Tre Boston, S North Carolina
(6)Russell Bodine, C/G North Carolina
He passed the "Eli test" in beating top QBs in the playoffs, being clutch, and dominance on the road. He even has players attesting to his "elite-ness."
It'd be one helluva double standard if we don't view Flacco as the best in the league at the same volume that we viewed Eli as the best last year.
No QB has every beaten another QB.

2. Marcus Martin, Center Guard, USC
3. Anthony Johnson, Defensive Nostril Tackle, LSU
4. Marcel Jensen, Offensive End, Fresno State
5. Wesley Johnson, Offensive Any Guard, Vanderbilt
5. Aaron Colvin, Defensive Halfback, Oklahoma
6. Storm Johnson, Guy Who Runs With Football, UCF
I'm not going to speak about the "Eli is better than Brady" crowd, because I don't belong to that faction.
However, Eli is a 2-Time Super Bowl MVP....and Flacco is not.
Maybe we'll find out if Flacco is better than Humperdink.....but Brady is floating high above both of them until further notice.
