San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is making news for all the wrong reasons – or all the right ones. In the 49ers' third preseason game, Kaepernick elected to remain seated during the nation anthem, in protest of the oppression that blacks face in everyday society.
Most of us can agree that America isn't perfect. What many of us can't agree on is justification for the platform Kaepernick is using to express that.
On the one hand, the quarterback is within his rights, per the first amendment. And he's using that right to push for racial equality in a society that has seen police brutality among unfair economic and social treatment of blacks. As a man of wealth and fame, he's using the league's platform to address those issues in a very public way.
On the other hand, his choice to sit for the anthem can be seen as more disrespectful than helpful. Although it's his platform to use for his own purposes, many will note that this act is coming from someone that hasn't gone out of his way to generate positive growth for the community he's representing. It's also interesting, these same people will note, that it's hypocritical for Kaepernick to be arguing for racial equality in the first place, given the fact that there was a contested fine applied for his use of a racial slur back in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears during the 2014 season.
And thus, a proverbial army of warring words from both sides has begun – something that has raged for the last week and a half. Something that will continue to occur until either the situation is resolved, the movement ends, or another social phenomenon takes its place in the spotlight.
Part of this article's purpose is to lay out the details of the differing opinions, but the other purpose is to give those opinions a tangible voice. I took a survey of some of the well-thought out considerations sent to me by football fans and non-football fans alike in order to present a survey of public thoughts on the subject.
Kyle Phelps took a more sports-oriented perspective, drawing attention to the fact that Kaepernick's career is likely in jeopardy within the NFL. Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report recently reported on many NFL executives' wishes to stay very clear of the 49ers' quarterback now and in the future.
"I am completely 100% in support of his right to protest, even if he might be a terrible, terrible representation of his own cause," Phelps said. "It's a terrible career move, though, because he's already a [terrible] player and generally obnoxious person. When the 49ers finally get rid of him, he may not be able to catch on anywhere else because no one will bother with the PR issues for his lack of talent."
Ayron Beavers took a decidedly pro-freedom outlook on the situation, calling out the hypocrisy of a sort of forced conformity – something that goes against being American.
"When you deem it necessary to inflict shame, name calling, fear mongering, and other methods of uneducated rhetoric and actions as encouragement (force) of a free American to conform to your way of thinking and agree with the masses, you no longer represent the freedoms of America. You then represent a dictatorship," Beavers stated. "Our country is supposed to reflect freedom and liberty. Not forced patriotism. And let's say the backlash works in the masses favor and we force a fellow American to be patriotic. We'll likely then crush him for being fake and doing it in fear of financial loss. Our country's freedoms protected by our troops do NOT exclude the right to be critical of our nation nor policies in our nation. You can't be critical of ANYTHING involving government procedure in many countries in this world. We fight to not be those nations."
Taking a similar approach, Vanessa Contreras put it quite succinctly: "If standing were required, and sitting punishable, then what are we standing for?"
Asham Amir talks about the concept of "intention" in a different light in his discussion of the topic. It's an outlook that I, at least, haven't seen much of in the conversations flying around on the subject. Interestingly, he separates "intention" from Kaepernick's "cause."
"Standing for the pledge itself has become a bit robotic, as we are doing as the norm has been," Amir said. "I honestly don't even find not standing for it disrespectful, as the action of standing up for a song isn't respect in actuality, but rather the intention of the action is. That same intention of respecting the anthem can occur while sitting down. The star spangled banner is played at most major events, how many times do you think people have stood with the intention of just doing it rather than attempting to show respect for the song, which again, is just a song. Isn't that outcry worthy? Or no, because as long as the norm is followed, it's fine? I do believe that there was an underlying acknowledgement of "respect" for the anthem by Kap. Hence, why he decided to use the anthem to gain awareness. At this point, it seems to me that everyone's issue is rather that he didn't do what everyone else was doing rather than having the intention to disrespect America. His cause and whatnot is a whole other issue which may have some flaws, but with a country that was founded on an "f u" to the perceived oppressor in order to maximize freedom for all, I feel as if this action fits right in."
Synonymous with intention, Brandon Woolf mentions his beliefs on Kaepernick's reasoning, drawing a line between this and his constitutional beliefs.
"As a pro-freedom individual, I believe that he has the right to sit down if he wants to," Woolf begins. "Men and women have died for him to have that right. Constitutionally speaking, nothing protects him from punishment he may receive from the 49ers. I think his reasoning is severely flawed."
Marc Young takes a more aggressive stance on the issue, but focuses on privilege, both for Kaepernick in his actions and the public in its rights to talk about it. That being said, he suggests the quarterback doesn't consider the other side – the side that Kaepernick seems to imply are the "oppressors."
"Let's see, Kaepernick was born of multi-racial parents, adopted by and raised in a white family. Ok, he's a multi-millionaire, but at the time of his statement, Kaepernick had not yet created or offered to create a charity giving his first million dollars to address the issues he has adopted. He wasn't the slightest interested in giving up any of HIS privilege to try to make things better for those he believes are oppressed," Young says. "He has no idea what it takes to be a police officer but assumes it's less training than a hair stylist. He has no idea what it is like to put his life on the line for anyone. Or to have to make life and death decisions on a daily basis and continually have to walk into situations [where] all common sense says run the other way, and do it not for yourself or family, but do it for total strangers. He certainly has the right to speak and act like an immature over-privileged fool and the public has the right to reject his childish uninformed behavior."
And though certainly not the last opinion sent in, Kyle Bevan's is one I feel sums up the argument well, as well as one that represents a significant portion of the population I've spoken with.
"To an extent, the story has been over-examined, overblown and there are too many opinions," Bevan starts. "People these days think their opinion is fact for some reason and if we are ever going to fix the big problems in this country we all need to learn to disagree without hate. I don't agree with the way he chose to bring attention to the issue but I respect his right to do so. There are much more constructive/active ways to bring awareness to the racial issues in this country than disrespecting a patriotic tradition as he did."
Something that was not brought up presents another intriguing argument here. Although Kaepernick is within his right of free speech, he's also an employee of a very powerful company – the National Football League. And as easy as writing its own amendment on a piece of paper, the league can deem it against its contract law to sit for the national anthem.
A whole different can of worms to consider. Until then, should more players decide to join this movement, the NFL will likely face public backlash one way or the other. It should be interesting to see not only the public reaction, but the corporate one was well.
In the meantime, we watch the nation grapple with how to solve problems in an increasingly socially-conscious era.
With many of these responses, we see a certain word arise as a theme for the speaker's interpretation of Kaepernick's decision to sit.
Intention. Reasoning. Privilege. Conformity?
These are the words that generate the real conversations on the issue, beneath the superficial rhetoric. It's through these discussions that we see the pallet of thoughtful considerations. When presented with such a controversial act, it's easy to defer to the name-calling and the radical agendas. It's the easiest way to avoid the real issue – and all it does is add fuel to a growing fire.
Collectively, let's choose water over gasoline.

100 All Time Favorites - the first indigenous in-house game, to be created from scratch by Ubisoft Pune may not be available in India yet, but it's the first officially Nintendo licensed title to be created by an Indian team.
The game provides an all-in-one selection of 100 board games, and card games like Solitaire, Poker, Mancala (an African game), Backgammon, Chess, Chinese Checkers, and Draughts.
"It took six months of preparation and training, and then 8 months of production work for us to make this DS game." says Jithin Rao, producer at Ubisoft in Pune.
Not all the 100 games are unique, about some of them give new twists, and have to be unlocked by solving puzzles and standard game modes. "There are two versions to Draughts, one is American and one is a Polish. The Polish version is played internationally, we chose to use the Polish version, when working on the American version." says Jitesh Panchal, lead game designer for the game at Ubisoft.
"We came up with about 15-30 of our own original games, those games you reuse the assets that you play the classic. Mixing the rules and graphics of various games and bringing them together. This was to be all limited in a 32 MB cartridge."
Around 40 people from Ubisoft India were involved in the project - four artists, four designers, 18 programmers, and a ten member testing team from Pune.
At a meeting in their Pune office, the five member team that incubated an early version of this game - Jithin Rao, Jitesh Panchal, Luell Lopes as art director, Ankit Dutt Mathur, as programming lead, and Allwin Navamani as QC lead shared their insights and experiences about working in the game industry with Digit. These will be featured in an article about game development in a future Digit magazine.
The early version was incubated by this team, who started it as a training project, working on making a game of Draughts. "After a month, we were told to put 99 other games." The team had six months for preparation, most of which went into brainstorming. "We had to make sure that all the board and card games were covered, so that even a kid and an old man would like it. We had to learn all the rules of each game." they said
"We thought we would be able to do it since, we were from a mobile gaming background." Most of the team members worked at the Gameloft Pune studio which was later acquired by Ubisoft in May 2008. The company has around 160 employees currently.
"It was a very novel experience, we got a lot of help from our HQ. Three programmers went in for training as well to Quebec. We had a couple of expatriates, who came in from other Ubisoft studios to help us streamline the processes, and give guidelines."
"We initially had a team of programmers and testers, and now we have artists, game designers who have joined the studio. Since January, we have had a staff increase of 35 percent." says Aurelie Busollo, HR manager at the Ubisoft office.
On the QC side, the Pune office has worked on Cell-Factor Psychokinetic Wars on the XBL and the PSN, games on the DS on the Imagine series, and Just Dance on the Wii, to name a few titles that were completely tested here.
"The creativity of Ubisoft Group goes into creating new IPs on consoles, deliver high quality games, and build multiple experiences around these new IPs" said David Blanchard, Studio Head at Ubisoft Pune.
"Here in Pune, we are trying to go in two directions to consolidate ourselves in the online and handheld space. The handheld is a great way to explore new platforms, such as the iPhone. At Ubisoft, we have been on the DS market from the beginning. Handhelds also provide a new opportunity to explore cross-platform gaming experiences." he said.
"We are also currently looking at social networking gaming, and we want to move to MMO-oriented gaming as well. These will be for a global market. If we go this way, they will be accessible in India too. We don't have a game for just the Indian market, but it can be something to look into, and we will think about it." he said

I have been feeling very heavy this week, even before the shock and trauma of Zapiro's latest cartoon.
In preparing to write my PhD proposal I have read what feels like an innumerable number of articles about sexual violence.
I have read about how womxn are submerged from a young age in a culture which makes them responsible for keeping themselves 'safe', while simultaneously positioning them as consumable, violateable, rapeable.
I have read about how womxn in a variety of social locations are coerced (not only by their sexual partners, but also by the dominant discourses of our society) to endure pain and discomfort rather than pleasure in their sexual encounters I have read about how many womxn have been raped, and how few of these feel able to speak out about their experiences for fear of further blame, shame and violence.
I have felt nauseous, close to tears, furious, empty.
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night, frightened. On my way back from the bathroom I imagined that I was terrified and screaming, with all the force that my lungs would allow, but nobody came to save me.
Just as nobody came on the night I was raped.
It is not surprising to me that my terror and my panic returned to me so strongly last night.
In fact it is more surprising that it doesn't return every night.
Because even on days when I do not spend eight hours reading about sexual violence, I still see it everywhere.
I see it in the way that others are objectified, dehumanized, and made into 'symbols' for political commentary.
And every time I see I am reminded of the darkest moments of my life, of being terrified, paralyzed, ripped apart. I am reminded of lying there, waiting for it to end and for everything to return to normal.
But how can it ever return to normal when normal is so violent?
Where violence is everywhere, seeping into the poles, the soul, the self
The violence makes me up and also breaks me apart
How to think outside it, against it
How to break free without breaking apart
How to not be preoccupied with whether or not I am "broken"
How to weep but not drown
How to be angry but not lash out
How to be empty but not paralysed
How to be myself?
In this heavy space
Submerged in violence
That seeps into the pores, the soul
The self

Introduction to "Second Witness" with Brant Gardner
Likening With Care, Part 1
Second Witness: Analytical & Contextual Commentary on the Book of Mormon by Brant Gardner is the most comprehensive commentary on the Book of Mormon to date. True, there are many commentaries available from such authors as Sidney Sperry, George Reynolds and Janne Sjödahl, Hugh Nibley, Daniel Ludlow, David Ridges, Joseph Fielding McConkie and Robert Millett, Ed Pinegar, Monte S. Nyman and others. In addition, articles and publications on the Book of Mormon are legion, perhaps the most extensive being the work published by the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies. What justified another commentary?
Gardner has taken the best aspects of nearly all previous commentary attempts into account, incorporating an impressive amount of former studies with his own insights as a scholar of early Mesoamerica and believer in the Book of Mormon. He sees Book of Mormon commentaries as falling in two "rough" categories of approach:
He is quick to point out at the outset of volume one that he accepts the Book of Mormon "as a translation of an ancient text" and that he intended "to inquire into the process of Joseph Smith's translation or how the text fits into the ancient Old and New Worlds. I do not attempt to prove or disprove it but to understand it."2 Thus, not only does Gardner utilize much former scholarship, he is not averse to challenging former scholarship at times, even from those whom he sees as pioneers or experts in the field such as John Sorenson and Hugh Nibley, or even LDS leaders such as Joseph Fielding Smith.3 He is also not shy about challenging common LDS assumptions about the text, or admitting problematic aspects; all done in an overall tone which shouldn't threaten the reader, but rather invite personal reflection. Gardner's is a comprehensive look at the spiritual, theological, cultural and historical context of the book.Those that concentrate on the devotional aspects of religion (and which tend to be ahistorical) and those that attempt to deal with the text in its historical context. Most LDS commentaries have been necessarily heavy on the devotional and light on the historical because there is no official geography of the Book of Mormon. I wanted to brave the wilds and use the best current description of where the Book of Mormon took place to see if that cultural background and time could increase our understanding of the events in the text.1
I call Gardner's overall approach "likening with care," in reference to Nephi's assertion, "I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning" (1 Nephi 19:23). Latter-day Saints have had a tendency to read the Book of Mormon through a modern lens, noting Mormon's statement "I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing" (Mormon 8:35). Most Book of Mormon commentaries attempt to help readers better understand how the text can apply in everyday gospel living today. This approach is beneficial and important, and Gardner does not avoid it. However, he explained in the Introduction to volume 1:
The people of the Book of Mormon lived in two different worlds. The first was the Old World. For a short time, the text is anchored in both space and time by a known location (Jerusalem) and known events...When the story moves to the New World, the Book of Mormon becomes a text without a context...Without the human context provided by continuity of place and time, we increase the interpretive disjunction with which we frequently misread the Bible, even with its rich context...
We tend to read the Bible and the Book of Mormon as though people just like us wrote them. We assume that their concerns were our concerns and that the things that we care about most were precisely the things that they also cared about most. This reading backward of our world into theirs does not diminish our ability to discern spiritual value in the Bible or the Book of Mormon...
One of this commentary's goals is to recontextualize the Book of Mormon so that it is easier to understand that it is about real people and real places...4In focusing more in a New World setting (especially after the book of Mosiah5), Gardner is able to illuminate cultural aspects previously unseen in print. Rather than finding the Book of Mormon in Mesoamerica, he sought to discover Mesoamerica in the Book of Mormon, and isn't afraid to challenge long-held opinions on various issues. Remarkably, he is able to do this with what Jeff Needle from the Association For Mormon Letters rightly called "generosity." Needle pinpointed Gardner's charitable tone:
With six full-sized volumes the set stands at a formidable $199, but readers can also opt to buy volumes individually, the first priced at about $32 at the FAIR bookstore. Second Witness is the touchstone for all contemporary scholarship on the Book of Mormon. What Richard Bushman's Rough Stone Rolling is to Joseph Smith, Gardner's Second Witness is to the Book of Mormon; a watershed event in scholarly LDS publication history....his commentary offers the reader something that other commentaries may not: a wide generosity in how one can understand the message of the Book of Mormon. Such generosity is rare on both sides of the debate -- either you're for it, or you're against it. Gardner stands in the gap and offers both sides a way approach the book in a constructive manner.6
Next in the "Likening With Care" we'll discuss the origin and destiny of the series, including the logistics of writing, designing, and publishing such a complex work.
Other than when noted, Gardner's comments in this series are from personal e-mails from Gardner in my possession.
Gardner, Second Witness, Vol. 1, p. vii.
The book is full of goodies from other scholars. For example, Gardner closely follows Royal Skousen's important Analysis of Textual Variants of the Book of Mormon and other such studies to carefully note interesting, important, or problematic word variants among different editions of the Book of Mormon, in addition to noting the original format of the book, which wasn't divided into our current chapter/verse configuration until 1879.
ibid. 2-3.
As a specialist in studies of Mesoamerica, Gardner said the first two volumes were the most daunting of the series, "with 2 Nephi [as] a petrifying hurdle before I actually started":
[6]1 Nephi and the Isaiah texts are Old World stuff, and I an a New World guy. I think that I represented others' scholarship in 1 and 2 Nephi, but there was more of their work and less original work. Starting in vol. 3 we get serious into the New World, and I think there are more places where I offer a new perspective rather than a rehash of previous scholarship. Both are useful, but I am always more interested in the new stuff.

Capable and committed: Conquering a running streak
Anyone who happened to be in the northern Minnesota city of Effie for the North Star Stampede this summer might have spotted a woman on her daily run—wearing flip-flops.
While many would have allowed forgotten running shoes to derail their goals, Jessica Waytashek is not the average goal-setter. The local personal trainer and weight loss counselor powered through this obstacle and numerous others in the past year—including a nearly debilitating injury—to run at least 1 mile every day for 365 days.
And she didn't do it alone—two others who agreed to take on a running streak challenge last Thanksgiving also recently celebrated a whole year of maintaining an impressive commitment.
Waytashek, Sheila Miller and Kari Whitlock initially participated in the worldwide run streak event organized by Runner's World magazine, a 40-day challenge intended to keep people moving during the holidays. But when Jan. 1 arrived, they weren't quite ready to give up the habit.
"When we finished ... it was, 'Hey, let's see if we can make 50 days,'" Miller said. "And somebody posted a Facebook comment, 'Oh, maybe you should try 100, or 150, or 180 or maybe even a year. And then the thought starts creeping in like, 'Oh, I don't think that will ever happen.' ... So I just started setting those next steps, and then you make that step, and you go for another from there."
Since the start, the three women have logged more than 5,000 miles of pounding the pavement between them, and the streak remains unbroken. This impressive mileage tally is helped in part by Waytashek and Whitlock's even more grueling pledge—each signed up for Run The Year 2017, a fitness challenge just like it sounds. The goal is to run or walk 2,017 miles throughout the year. This equates to an average of 5.5 miles per day, which Waytashek said sounds reasonable on its face. But add life into the mix, and things get complicated quickly.
"If you miss one of those days, then you're going negative," Waytashek said.
At the advice of her doctor while injured this summer, Waytashek still managed a mile a day for almost two weeks. By the end of her "rest" period, however, she had a lot of ground to make up to stay on track for Run The Year.
"Times like that makes you kind of want to throw in the towel," she said.
But as 2017 draws to a close, Waytashek was on pace to achieve 2,017 miles, as was Whitlock.
Secret to smashing goals
Are these women different from other people? What characteristics made them able to stay committed to their goals—goals so many others will make with a new year on the horizon?
Above everything else, the trio attributed their success to the social support network they created among themselves to maintain accountability.
"I think that was vital for us," Waytashek said. "Get a support team in place, whether that's in person with friends or online. ... If you don't have a lot of fitness-related friends, you can find those groups that are out there—public groups, local groups. ... If you're looking, you can find that support system. It's easy to say, 'I can't run a mile, or, 'My family wouldn't care,' or something like that. But if you're looking, you can find that support out there. It's there."
It's never too late to begin a fitness journey, as Miller in particular would attest to. She didn't start running until she was 39 years old, inspired by a friend who looked fabulous in the wake of giving birth.
"She said, 'I run 3 miles every day.' And I thought, 'My gosh, I can't even run three blocks. My ankles are stiff, I can't breathe," Miller said. "So I walked a lot. I started just slowly, run for one song. And I'd get through one song and then I'd walk. And then, 'Oh nope, I'm running for two songs now.' Pretty soon I was running miles at a time."
Nine years later, Miller and Whitlock together completed the Twin Cities Marathon this summer. Waytashek crossed the finish line of Surf the Murph, a 50-mile trail run near Savage. Ultimately for these women, however, it's not as much about the physical fitness as it is the emotional benefits.
"For me, it's a huge stress reliever," Miller said. "I find it helps me emotionally, keep(s) me in balance. Moreso than probably anything else. It's like my happy hour. Some people hang out with friends at a bar, whatever, a restaurant. My happy hour is doing social runs with friends."
"I second that," Waytashek said. "It's just kind of a good way to set the tone for the day. Even if you're not doing it first thing in the morning, it's something to look forward to, it's something you prioritize and you can kind of mentally check off your list. That little bit of organization and focus around being true to your health and wellness, I think it impacts other choices that you make throughout the day because you are thinking about what you have coming up tomorrow."
Waytashek said she also appreciates the benefits it has for her children—setting an example for them on fitness and discipline.
"Whether my kids realize it or not, they do ask me if I've done my mileage today, or what I have planned for the weekend," she said. "They may not look excited about it but they are watching, they are seeing that commitment, so I have to think that that's a positive influence on them."
The possibilities are endless with setting a streak-type goal. It can be anything, Waytashek noted, from committing to taking a different fitness class each week to completing some type of exercise each day, no matter what it is. Or it could be as simple as trying something new each day—no matter what it is.
"Sticking to this challenge and seeing it out, it kind of shows you what you're capable of," she said.
Key to success: Tracking goals
How many times does one begin a New Year's resolution with gusto, only for the motivation to peter out within a few weeks or months? The answer is likely often.
Psychologist Jeremy Dean reported in his book, "Making Habits, Breaking Habits: Why We Do Things, Why We Don't, and How to Make Any Change Stick," on a study that found it takes an average of 66 days for a habit to become automatic in one's life. But depending on the habit, there's a lot of variation within that number, Dean said—some habits might take as little as 20 days to form, while others could take nearly a year.
One way to fight against falling off from one's goals is to keep track of whether it's being successfully completed on a regular basis, whether daily or a certain number of times a week. Whether this is done on paper, by checking in with friends or another support network or using any number of smartphone apps, tracking can be a powerful form of motivation to maintain—or cast aside—a habit.
Find the method that works best for tracking goals:
• A calendar. Simply marking off on a calendar whether the goal's been completed for the day provides a visual affirmation of one's commitment.
• Bullet journaling. A practice becoming increasingly popular, bullet journaling is the concept of having all aspects of one's life in one physical planner—to do lists, daily schedules, goals, reading lists, information on pets, budgets ... the list goes on and on.
The idea is to rapidly log one's daily tasks and commitments using bullet points on a daily or weekly calendar, although the concept has evolved through bullet journal enthusiasts to include a variety of personalized trackers. Habit trackers are among these, from habits like flossing daily to reading 30 minutes a day to intensive exercise goals.
If interested in learning more about bullet journaling, Instagram is filled with users posting photos of their spreads for others' inspiration. A Facebook group called "Bullet Journal Junkies" has more than 135,000 members. A search of "habit tracker" results in a seemingly endless number of posts.
• Smartphone apps. Dozens of apps exist for tracking one's habits. Googling "habit tracking app" reveals not only individual apps but a number of compiled lists of apps for both Android and iOS. One list compiled by BuzzFeed last year claims, "These Apps Will Actually Change Your Life." It includes the apps HabitBull (iOS and Android, free); Productive (iOS, free); Strides (web and iOS, free); Streaks (iOS, $4); Habitica (iOS, Android and web, free); Coach.me (iOS, Android and web, free); Momentum (iOS and Mac, free); and Habit Streak (Android, free).
The app Exist takes activity from a number of services on a smartphone and brings it into one place, allowing one to recognize correlations in activity. For example, the app can develop the hypothesis that one's weight is higher after checking into a certain Mexican restaurant, based on smartphone activity. Dozens of apps are available to be analyzed. Available for iOS, Android and the web, the service costs $6/month or $57/year.
• Accountability groups. Whether in person or online, sharing one's successes with others is a way to stay accountable. This concept can be found in a number of organizations, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Weight Watchers. Searching Facebook, terms like "goal motivation" and "running goals," for example, revealed a number of public groups anyone can join. Finding a local support network of those with similar goals offers opportunities for get-togethers or ongoing text conversations, for example.

One Union County couple took the Christmas rush to a different level Sunday, when they used a stun gun on a 65-year-old Walmart greeter who made the mistake of requesting a sales receipt for the large-screen TV they were hauling out of the store.
They two had no receipt, however, because they were in the process of stealing the television, according to authorities.
What the greeter, a woman, got instead was a stun gun attack, said the Union County Sheriff's Office. It happened Sunday afternoon at the Walmart in Indian Trail, N.C.
Investigators say the pairfled in a green Nissan Pathfinder. It was unclear Monday morning if they were able to squeeze the TV into their car during the getaway.

The man, who had the stun gun, is identified as John David Davis, Jr., 42. His last known address was in Matthews.
The female suspect is Natasha Jean Hall, 38, with a last known address was Charlotte.
Deputies have arrest warrants charging both with common law robbery and Davis faces an additional charge for assault with a deadly weapon.
Davis is familiar to the Union County Sheriff's Office in connection with a July 2015 robbery of the Lowe's in Indian Trail, officials said. On that occasion, Davis, accompanied by a different female, left the store carrying a Dewalt cordless drill, officials said.
When confronted by a store employee, Davis produced a knife and threatened the employee. Davis and his accomplice were arrested a short time later in that case and charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon.
If you have information on the whereabouts of either Davis or Hall, please call 911 or the Union County Sheriff's Office at 704-283-3789.

The last 2 weeks have been one of the most memorable experiences in my life. I traveled to Ecuador with my school and Free the Children. I visited Quito, which is the capital of Ecuador, as well as the Amazon. The altitude in Quito was amazing! I lost my breath after taking two steps! However, the Amazon left me speechless. The relationships that I developed with the community and the people I was travelling with made it hard to say goodbye. It makes it even harder to write this blog post.
Since there are about a thousand things I could talk about, I will only write about my favourtie moments.
First I have to be honest. Before leaving for Ecuador I was unsure about the whole no electricty, no makeup, no tight clothing. But soon into the trip, I realized something. Our appearance doesn't change the person we are. Though I was not allowed to wear my typical clothing due to cultural respect, I soon began to not care. Life without makeup was great! I could rub my eyes anytime 🙂 ! But the best thing was the minimal access to electricity. I never realized how much I miss out on just because of my phone. The things I learnt about other people and our Earth would have never been possible if I had my phone. Describing my trip to Ecuador is so hard. It is something I cannot put into words. Just being there changed my whole life and I am so thankful that I got to experience this amazing journey! (p.s. Sorry for the pictures, I have no idea why I can't turn them. Oh well!)
The travel time was about 7-8 hours including our stop over in Panama.
The next morning, my friends and I woke up bright and early to see the sunrise. The pink colours were unreal! It was worth waking up at 5am. After that we headed down to have some breakfast. I swear, I have never tasted sweeter fruits anywhere else! Our stay in Quito was fabulous from morning to night. During the day we walked around, visited a museum, met a local, ate exquisite food, etc. But I have to say, walking in Quito is hard. Quito is 9350 ft above sea level. I lost my breath just by taking one step!
Quito was breathtaking! (And not just from the altitude). Seeing all of the amazing structures was fascinating. But my favourite part was how they managed to keep the raw beauty of Ecuador and still have a city.
At night my friends and I stayed in our rooms talking. But then, around 11pm, we decided to go up to the roof to see Quito at night. Seeing parts of the city lit up, and then a black part where no electricity came, was beautiful. Just as we were about to go back down, fireworks started going off. We had no idea what celebration was happening. But just standing on the roof, 9350 ft above sea level, with fireworks going off, and the wind blowing, it was the first moment when I realized at home we don't take time to appreciate the beauty of Earth.
The next day, we travelled to the center of the Earth! I also accomplished an amazing thing, I took a selfie with a llama and it didn't spit on me 🙂
Visiting the center of the world is for sure in the top 5 of the coolest things I have ever done. Standing right on the red line is so weird! You feel a pull trying to push you into either the north or south side. You also lose your muscle sense and your sense of balance. It was so cool and weird at the same time.
Now ever since that episode on Modern Family where Phil brings home a llama, I have always wanted to meet one! I got to meet a llama. Now this guy was pretty evil, he looked ready to spit on us at any time. However, the minute a camera came out he posed. It was the cutest and the sassiest llama I have ever seen!
Now onto the journey of the 9 hour bus ride to the Amazon. During the duration of the ride we stopped at the highest highway in North and South America. It was so windy!
As you can see my friends and I were very happy with our harem pants 🙂
Now lets skip by the 9 hours of singing and eating and head straight into the Amazon. We stayed at Minga Lodge deep into the jungle. Minga means family and or a community in unity. For this reason, the group I was travelling with referred to ourselves as a Minga. One of the directors I became so close with is Miguel. He is a local from Ecuador and he guided us through the Amazon. He showed us the hidden secrets of the jungle, introduced us to kids, and dared us to try new things. Miguel soon became a person I trusted on this trip. I keep in touch through email everyday!
I posted the video of Miguel and I dancing below 🙂
One day it started raining heavily and we had to come back from the worksite. However, Miguel was ready with a backup plan. He took us on the most beautiful nature walk to see the sunset. The sunset in the Amazon is stunning. The pink in the sky just before the darkness of the night settles over, hearing the buzz of the animals still alive, and seeing the current of the water. The picture does not do it justice. While pictures may be worth a thousand words, standing there in the humid air can never be replicated on a picture.
The hour that we were there made everything come alive. I realized how huge this Earth was and how tiny we are. But it was in that moment where I felt connected with everything. And I knew everything will be alright.
Before we head into what this trip was all for, I just wanted to share my favourite photo. We got to do weapon training, and below is a photo of me throwing a spear.
The kids, the communities, a better life. That's why I wanted to go on this trip. We weren't allowed to take pictures on the first few days of working. We worked for 6 out of the 10 days on the trip. The other 4 days were mainly travelling from one place to another. I have no idea how to put this in words. Taking that 45 minute boat ride every morning to the worksite was the most anxious moments in my life. I was ready to see the smiling kids and ready to start working. My group and I worked in the community of Bellavista. The minute we walked off that boat we would be greeted by locals of all ages. When I returned from Ecuador, someone said to me "Wow, that looks exhausting. Working everyday. I couldn't imagine doing that." And honestly, neither could I before I left. But the minute you see the smiles on the kids faces, it no longer becomes working. It becomes enjoyable. Every muscle in your body that ached meant that those kids will have a better life. Every splinter, broken nail, and sweat, means that the community will be able to become independent one day. I pulled both of my calf muscles and was told to sit out. But I refused to. People always asked me "Why?" I replied by saying, though I was injured I wasn't incapable of working. I was still able to lift the sand bags, shovel the sand, sandpaper the wood. But if I had to sit out, it means one less person on the job. I also thought that if I was capable of working, why sit out? I saw a pregnant mother, holding one child in one hand, with 2 fifty lbs sandbags over her shoulder. That's when I realized that they never stop not matter what the circumstance is. With that in my head, I stood back up and went back to shovelling sand.
Pictures cannot explain the experiences that I had in Ecuador. Nor can it show the bonds I created with everyone there. I became a Minga with the group I travelled with. I got to meet Miguel, a person who changed my view on a lot of things. And I also got to meet Carlos and Emma, our Free the Children directors. But most of all, I got to meet the kids. Words cannot describe my desire to work 24/7, nor can it describe how difficult it was to leave. Ecuador was an amazing experience and I would go back in a heartbeat.
I guess all that's left to say is, take me back! Thank you for reading
-Neha ❤

I want to thank all of you for all well wishes you sent my way. You really uplifted my spirits. May God Bless You All !!! Do we not have some of the best people here in blog land or what?
I'm ready to go!!!
The Dutchess of Tea. I am so honored to recieve it. Thank you so much Dear. You truely are a Lady.
I now want to show you an old baby doll that Julie Marie of Idyllhours sent me awhile back. She bought it at an estate sale. He knew I just inherited a bunch of old dolls. She thought I would appreciate this old doll she had found, and I did. It did not have any markings on it, but you could tell it was old. I cleaned it up and dressed her. Here are the before and after pictures.
Now on to some football !!!
How about them Saints? I know you are all tired of hearing...Who Dat say gonna beat them Saints?
Who dat! Who Dat! But I am from New Orleans and its about Damn time we won something.
As you know Mardi Gras was at the same time. Which I did not get to go. Boo Hoo, Sniff, Sniff.
Anywho, I found this T-shirt with Mardi Gras and the Super Bowl Champs(De Saints) so I bought it.Here it is.Please excuse my squint eyes in these pictures.For once we had a sunny day.
My Angel the devil dog.
For my birthday last year, Sherry of Edie Marie's Attic...one of my most loveable and of course... we adopted each other...Sister, gave me a football jersey from her home state of Ohio.I told her when I could , I would take a picture of me in it.Again Squint eyes.
I use the image of one of the Gipson Girls...Afternoon Tea. I got these cards from Victoria Trading Company. Way back in 1998. I have been sponstoring my bowling team called the Tonidolls for years. I had t-shirts made for my team using this image. That was before Afternoon Tea got popular.
Here are just a few of the shirts.
I got started doing this by a lady I also bowl with. She is not on my team. This is a very giving woman. She not ony make dresses herself, she makes blankets, boy clothes, book bags toys and much more. All material and trims are donated. These clothes do not have any button holes or zippers. Only a little lace or rick rack. The dresses I recieve are already cut out. Some times this material is hideous at best. Like I said its donated and nothing is wasted. This is all done though the Mormon Church.
How I got into it ...I knew my friend made the dresses. She asked me if I would be interested in making just a few. I told her I did not know how to sew clothes for people. My doll clothes are just main circles, squares and draping. She said I'll show you. She came over and did just that. It wasn't to bad, just the sleeves and neck. Any way now my few turned into 191 dresses and counting. I truelly enjoy doing this , because I think of all the little girls faces when they recieve them. Did I not mention these dresses go all over the world, and to the Indian Reservations right here in the good old USA? Here are the ones I made this week.
This is for you dear friend...Here are a few dolls...I want you to tell me which one you like best, BECAUSE one of them is yours.You choose. It does not matter which. I want you to have one, and someday when your up to tatting the trim, I will make you the doll of your dreams. For now one of these will do. Its my way to show you how much You mean to me. I know how it feels not to be able to do the things we like due to a set back or illness. Love you Dear, XXOO
wishing well
XXOO Marie Antionette

A body piercing is exactly as it sounds, a piercing or puncture by a needle that should be penetrating in your body. Sounds painful? Not to a teenager, who goes crazy about it and seems to enjoy it altogether! In today's modern times, it's way past being a fad and undeniably has gained widespread popularity. Piercing is more than something fun and new to try out of curiosity, but holds so much more meaning behind its existence.
Some people have it on because they instantly transform into the coolest guy or gal in school and among peers. Some wish to look more attractive and elegantly stylish draping their body in the uniqueness of their taste. However, it makes a big difference when it comes to teenagers. As much as they could dreadfully easily get into trouble, they dauntlessly get into all kinds of holes, this time referring to the likes of ear piercings, nose piercings, and can be the lips, eyebrows, belly button, and the most sensitive parts.
Wherever it has been placed, it can simply be a means of a teen expressing oneself in his or her own distinct personal style! The problem is, many people tend to make things complicated and make things worse when all that must be done is understand. Maybe even appreciate something that's beautiful even if most probably a huge number of parents do not like the way it looks the slightest bit! Now what are we missing here and what exactly do we need to fully comprehend?
Why do teenagers go crazy after piercings?
Consider nose piercings, which may seem just what it implies to anyone, but to a piercing enthusiast goes many different ways. It can be on the nostril, high part, midway at the septum, on the bridge, or an all out piercing from end to end of the nostril. If your teen chooses this, take comfort in the fact that it's ideal for experimenting which is less painful than other parts pierced, with less likelihood of getting infected. This is only the most common next to ear piercings, which come in various types.
Ear piercings are so common that it can be overlooked, since the standard lobe pierce can be seen even on baby girls! If you get to discover ear piercing, a whole new perspective will suddenly dawn to you, which is exactly what teenagers have unraveled. It comes in an almost overwhelming variety, including the upper lobe piercing, auricle, inner and outer conch, graduate lobe, ear weaving, helix, forward helix, rook, daith, tragus and anti-tragus, transverse, orbital, snug,and industrial. Surprisingly, each has a place of its own wherein it's possible to have them all studded with earrings and hoops and sparkling or rounded earrings in a single ear!
Either way and anywhere it goes, teens are smarter nowadays and could even tell you outright that no one has to pierce their body just to belong and feel like it! Believe it or not, they have second thoughts too, and may change their mind when uncertain rather than be pushed or prohibited, only igniting their rebellious side. Some would also warn other teens not to let a friend do it because it can due more harm than good and be far from what they truly desire. With proper guidance, knowledge, acceptance and understanding, they can be guided on what to do and learn from their experiences without having to be the hard way.

GUM Christmas Market on Red Square
Wiki Notes:
GUM (department store)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GUM (Russian: ГУМ, pronounced [ˈɡum], an abbreviation of the Russian: Глáвный универсáльный магазѝн; Glávnyj Universáĺnyj Magazín; literally "main universal store") is the name of the main department store in many cities of the former Soviet Union, known as State Department Store (Russian: Государственный универсальный магазин; Gosudarstvennyi Universalnyi Magazin) during the Soviet times. Similarly named stores were found in some Soviet republics and post-Soviet states. The most famous GUM is the large store in the Kitai-gorod part of Moscow facing Red Square. It is currently a shopping mall. Prior to the 1920s, the location was known as the Upper Trading Rows (Russian: Верхние торговые ряды). Nearby, also facing Red Square, is a building very similar to GUM, known formerly as the Middle Trading Rows, now the Central Universal Department Store (Russian: Центрáльный Универсáльный Магазѝн (ЦУМ) / Centráĺnyj Universáĺnyj Magazín (CUM)). It is about the same size as a large North American shopping mall. It has a clear roof.
Red Square
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|The Kremlin and Red Square, Moscow
View of Red Square looking northwest from St. Basil's Cathedral
IPA: [ˈkrasnəjə ˈploɕːətʲ]) is a city square (plaza) in Moscow, Russia. It separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitai-gorod. Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow since Moscow's major streets, which connect to Russia's major highways, originate from the square.
The name Red Square does not originate from the pigment of the surrounding bricks (which, in fact, were whitewashed at certain periods) nor from the link between the color red and communism. Rather, the name came about because the Russian word красная (krasnaya), which means "red," was applied to a small area between St. Basil's Cathedral, the Spassky Tower of the Kremlin, and the Lobnoe Mesto, and Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich officially extended the name to the entire square. Several ancient Russian towns, such as Suzdal, Yelets, and Pereslavl-Zalessky, have their main square named Krasnaya ploshchad.
The rich history of Red Square is reflected in many paintings by Vasily Surikov, Konstantin Yuon and others. The square was meant to serve as Moscow's main marketplace. It was also the site of various public ceremonies and proclamations, and occasionally a coronation for Russia's Tsars would take place. The square has been gradually built up since that point and has been used for official ceremonies by all Russian governments since it was established.

Here's A Good One...
This is one of those songs that is just ripe for bad lyrics. "Rat poison in wine." "Fat women in line." Between Klaus Meine's fractured English, German accent, and rapid-fire singing, it's no wonder this one is frequently misquoted.
So, what's your favorite misquote, either from the Scorps or elsewhere?
That is all.

Hard to pick a favorite but these are high on my list:
Bad Moon Rising: "There's a bathroom on the right."
Every Breath You Take: "How my pool hall aches.."
Lady Marmalade: "Oolay pookoo say ollie ma, say sa." (French on an AM radio goes downhill really fast.)
O Fortuna: "Salsa cookies, windmill cookies, they give you gonorrhea."

I still swear that there's a line in Manfred Mann's cover of Springsteen's "Blinded By The Light" that goes:
"And little early birdie/ Gave my anus curly-whirly/ And asked me if she needed a riiiiide..."
Drives me nuts every time I hear the song.
And thanks to the questionable humor of a guy I served with in the Army, every time I hear AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" I hear an annoying mental echo of "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep."

Obama Administration Now Proposing to Fund Development of Wider Range of 'Green' Vehicles
Published: 14-Feb-2013
One year ago, President Obama used his State of the Union address to set a bold goal of U.S. consumers buying 1 million electric cars by 2015. But consumers aren't biting, and the Department of Energy and the White House are backing away.
The only mention in this week's State of The Union of EVs was a vague proposal for an "Energy Security Trust" with funding from oil and gas drilling royalties and use the money for research on electric vehicles, natural-gas vehicles and biofuels.
The truth is that enthusiasm for an EV car revolution is waning as too few U.S. car-buyers see themselves adjusting their driving lifestyles to make an EV part of their family fleet.

I lined the whole inside with pockets--they're great for keeping drinks upright and holding toys. I like the single strap a lot--it's easier to keep on my shoulder than if I'm holding a baby or wearing the ergo. I'm also a fan of bags that stand upright when you set them down, the sturdy canvas and laminate, plus piping on the bottom give it a lot of stability.
I like it! Make one!

Speaking of publishing, the release date is FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH. (I did that on purpose, if you're wondering.)
On my other, more personal blog, I wrote a post for a friend/about a friend, who's going through a heartbreaking trial. If you'd like to read it, click here. The reason I am telling you this is because all of the proceeds in the first month (Sept. 13-Oct. 13) will be donated to this wonderful family.
Down syndrome and cystic fibrosis aren't things I know much about, and even though I don't know all there is to know, I do know that it won't be easy for Amber and her family; financially, emotionally, physically, or spiritually. I'm hoping that together we can lift some of the burden of their backs.
I know that some of you may not know this family. Probably most of you. The way that I see it; this can happen to anyone. It could be you or your best friend or your sister or your brother... You get the idea. The book will be listed at 2.99, which means that two dollars will be donated from each one that sells. It may not be a lot, but 2x10 is 20 and 2x20 is 40 and 2x40 is 80.. Every little bit counts.
Mark your calendars, keep a look out on Amazon, and don't forget to spread the word!

If dungeon-delving, anime-style character designs and the phrase "real-time battles" are the kinds of things that turn your crank, then you'll want to keep an eye out for Tales of Abyss. Namco Bandai announced today that the latest chapter in its Tales series (Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Legendia, etc.) is coming to US PS2s.
While it's not a sequel to any of the previous Tales games, Abyss will play a little like the GameCube Tales of Symphonia, in that you'll fight monsters in action-based (as opposed to turn-based) battles. Abyss will also feature "free-roaming" fights, meaning you can move anywhere on the battlefield as you slash your foes to ribbons.
Due out this fall, Tales of the Abyss already looks like fun. If its status as one of the most popular RPGs in Japan is anything to go by, it might even stand out from under Final Fantasy XII's shadow.

Exercise is not Optional: Your Life Depends on It!
I try not to use the title of the articles I find, but this one I couldn't change.
This is a great article on how our whole body needs exercise, not just our glucose or weight. http://www.everydayhealth.com/columns/white-s...
It is not just one kind of exercise either…you need as much of a range as you can get to benefit the different parts of your body.
For instance:
Resistance training for your bone strength
Aerobic for your heart, lungs and nervous system
Moderate exercise helps with depression, sleep, immune system and regeneration of cells in all parts of your body
The last statement was worded kind of weird though "Lastly, regular physical activity extends your life. Research has shown that people who follow federal guidelines for physical activity reduce their risk of dying by 25 to 35 percent." Sorry to burst your bubble, we will all eventually die, but we can live longer and hopefully better when we exercise.
55 replies
LOL Gabby, I always find it odd when they put the "risk of dying" that way. Can't they reword it for those of us who are not research geeks, to know what that means, exactly?
It's always helpful to get reminders about the value of exercise - thank you!
I have been out walking and it helps me feel good about myself.
If exercise made me immortal, I don't know if I would do more or less of it. LOL
Immortal…oh no!!!…I believe in God…I believe in my heavenly reward…good lord don't keep me alive forever…all this earthy suffering HAS to lead to something good…it cant go on forever!!!!
I think you are already immortal because of how much you contribute on here :)
I wish I knew how to send a friend request on here, because I would send one to you!
I wish there were a way for me to get exercise without sending my heart into orbit. I have an enlarged heart and the walls of my heart are thicker then what is considered normal. Even walking 75 feet is difficult for me, not to mention that I am on oxygen 24/7 and have been for over 3 years now. If you can think of a way that can help me, I will try anything at this point.
I miss walking. Me and my little girl walked every morning after I found out. She promised to help me with my exercise so I could be healthier. She is a perfect workout buddy.:) However in April i was in a car wreck and now in a wheel chair. I spent a month in the hospital recovering from many injuries including a broken hip. I am currently waiting on my second surgery for that hip which will be a replacement..There is nothing I miss more then the morning walks with my daughter and I cannot wait to get back to them.
I didnt know weight training was good for me as well..great article thank you for sharing it.:)
My husband is in a wheelchair and he goes with me sometimes on my walk. He cannot go as far as I do, but he gets out there. Maybe you and your little one can take a walk to the end of the block and back? Just to get out.
I liked article i do find hard to exercise because bad knees! But when I was lots lots heavier walking took off most my weight! I do good for several day then get lazy that my emery ! If walk with someone I do better but bymyself don't do good! I tried find someone but I live in boonies! Any exercise inside help that not hard on knees!
There are some great "chair" exercise that you can do. Here are some videos on our site that can help. http://www.diabeticconnect.com/search?model_name=Video&query=chair+exercises
Gabby, this is a great article. Thank you for the heads up! I am trying to get better about exercising. I don't enjoy it that much and it is hard to find chunks of time to actually do it. But I feel better when I do. What I tell myself and my clients is that taking good care of yourself -- including exercise -- makes the rest of your life possible. It keeps that foundation stronger. Gary
I used to do lots of exercising before being diagnosed with LADA. I have other diabetic complications as well but I try to get outside and walk everyday. I would like to be able to do more than just walk but my body does not permit that to take place. I only have 2 years left out of the 10 that I was given before being in a wheelchair. I know that as long as I am able to walk any at all, I will defeat the 10 year prognosis. As long as I can prevent myself from going into another coma, I will continue to do my walking and love it, no matter how much pain I have to endure. One thing that helps me is to remember I am not going to be another statistic, but the one who surpassed it. It helps with my determination. If we look at each thing we are told about diabetes and pick one at a time to conquer we will know it will not defeat us. I walk at least 1 mile a day over rough terrain, and on a really good day, I walk more.
Beat those odds! My husband did, for 9 years after his bike accident, he walked. He's in a chair now, and people told him he would most likely not last more than 10 years in a chair. He's going on 17. You can do it with the right attitude.
My son in my pic died in October of 2012. This has forever changed me. Made it really hard to control my blood sugars…
it tAKES time deb… just don,t give up i hit it really hard ..you can do light weights plus cardio .i am not heavy weight lifter..but in my case i do lift as heavy as i can building muscle helps bring numbers down 15-20 mon cardio is good bimp it up as your body will allow.. dont over do it. if your body says stop i am tired STOP.. drink lots fluids you can do this plus watch how ya eat
Thanks for posting the article, Gabby. It was really good. I resisted exercise for so long because I felt bad, was so out of shape and really don't like to sweat much. After 4 months of riding and 6 weeks of working out, I feel great. I still have a ways to go and will probably never look like the people in the exercise video that I do but I'm really okay with that because I am in the best shape of my life (well since my 20's) and each day I improve. I'm definitely sleeping better.
My youngest grandson (5 years old) said that he was not sure which grandma he liked better; the old fat grandma that let them watch a lot of television and snacks or the new improved, skinny grandma who gave them healthy snacks but rode bikes, played soccer and swam with them. The new grandma helps pick up things but makes them mostly makes them pick up after themselves. I laughed and said that the choice was not theirs that they have to keep the new grandma. My grandsons all said that they like the fact that I can hug them better because my tummy wasn't in the way so much :-)
You're right that none of us will get out of this world alive but with exercise we will be able to enjoy the life we have.
Hi debcox,
I loved what your grandson had to say about your change and trying to decide what grandma he liked best. I can picture him thinking hard about it. Out of the mouths of babes.
Good for you keep up the good work. I am like that didn't move cause I hurt to much, but needed to move to get the weight off cause it was making me hurt. Just stuck. Now finally making head way and it is wonderful. Still not to the point that I am crazy about exercising, but in part cause I have started having hot flashes. Yuck. I am liking the fact that my clothes are feeling bigger and bigger all the time. I am down a size and working towards the next size. I will never, ever go back to what I was. I think I will look like a Chinese Shar-Pei ( that dog with all the wrinkles). My forehead might hit the windshield in the car if I have to stop fast and the swinging junk under my arms might threaten to put my eye out if it gets to swinging. I do not care i am going to keep going and be totally joyful for my journey and how far I have come and have yet to go. I will be laughing all the way. Good luck on your journey.
Hi Pam,
Good for you, I was like that also. When I was on my way up to 200, I said that I'd never get to that weight. Then, 225 and 249. When I got to 249 and found out that I had diabetes, I don't know why I was surprised but I put my foot down and said that I was sick of it. I rode my bike 3 miles to start and thought I was going to die. Then, doing the exercise video with Jillian Michaels, I knew I was going to die :-) She talks to the people with her and us so I talk back. I said, "What do you mean, I'm not going to die." It took time to get to where we were and it will take time to get down. I am within 5 lbs of my first goal and then it will be 10 lbs at a time till I get down to my goal weight. I know what you mean about the arms and wrinkles but this workout is doing me good. My arms are thinner and stronger and not as much jiggle. In one of the exercise, you have to lift yourself off the ground with one arm to do a side crunch. I can lift myself up but not all the way and I do 5 to their 10-12 but I'm happy that I can do it at all. By Christmas, I should be about 15 lbs lighter and may be able to do the exercise :-)
i can say since joining a gym lifting weights doing cardio after . has brought my numbers down . for the most i only take 500mg metformin in the morning .unless my b.s is over 160. then i take one at night also i seldom have to take night meds.. excersize does help
Hi Gabby,
Thank you for this post I read the article and then read it again out loud. It was just what I needed to hear at the just the right time. I then went downstairs and walked. I would have gone outside, but it is hot and i am having so many hot flashes. Yuck. Anyway i will be walking again in a few minutes. I also talked to myself while I walked and it was so nice I had music on and I just talked out loud to myself like I was walking with a good friend. That is what I am becoming to myself and that is a good thing. So I ran down a bunch of the changes I have been making over the last month and a half. I talked about future goals. Real reachable goals that is not the sort of large totally out of reach ones I used to try and set. It was a very good walk and I felt so good when I was done. I came upstairs feeling so good and with a fresh and clear mind.
I love all the stories about how you fit exercise into your life and all the benefits it brings you. We often forget that exercise has so many benefits beyond weight control and diabetes management - plus it's fun! Thanks for the great article Gabby. ~Lynn @Glucerna
I have yet to make it fun, but it is important. If I could find something I really like to do, I guess it would make it fun.
Gabby, I think that it is a matter of finding something that you enjoy, no matter what it is. My hubby was always trying to make me walk as exercise and I don't like walking. I love riding my bike though so I do. He rode with me for 3 days last week which was great. He said that now he sees why I like to go.
I'm trying to get the boyfriend to exercise with me. Both of us are out of shape. LOL I cannot run due to my disability and asthma, even walking is difficult for me. I'm wanting to try Yoga and I think I have found a good place to start on youtube.com but we'll see how that goes. I need the stretching and everything that's involved with Yoga. :-)
I'm glad that there are people in this group that have someone they can exercise with and make it more fun to do so. I wish everyone in this group the best luck!
Often exercise is fun when we're part of a group. I'm learning to play pickleball, and it's so much fun that we spend a lot of time laughing. I have friends who don't really like to run, but they're part of a running group because of the camaraderie and fun. I'm sure you'll find something that's fun for you. ~Lynn @Glucerna
Since turning 65, I've joined a health club and have been able to get there twice a week to do both aerobic and weight-resistance training. I spend a total of 1 hr 20 minutes at each session and feel great. I'm trying to get there 3 times a week but, so far, other scheduled activities interfere. Like Tony, I wish I could get my 71 year old spouse to join me in working out but he's not interested, so I don't push it. Maybe eventually he'll come around. I agree with you Gabby about the "35 % risk of dying" statement…seems like they omitted the qualifier "prematurely" which would have made more sense.
WOW! did you pick this topic just for ME? I am a swimmer, mainly because I have very very bad knees and NO I am no longer thinking of getting them replaced.
(Another topic for discussion). But swimming allows me the opportunity to do my PT in the water for the knees, plus laps are great cardio and aerobic exercises. That being said, I have to get me and my suit there. I swim in a local motel pool, that although small, offers it's use to people from the community during the week. I have one problem with it, I can get into the pool, I can get out, I can tottle over the the restroom to change…but the bathroom floor is tile and VERY slippery, other than comas, high sugars and dying my biggest fear is falling or slipping and falling. I have purposely stayed away for the entire summer because of the floors…I have to get back to this pool as my option is gone. SO YES! Exercise, even if you just walk (if you can) is so important, and I found lowers my sugars and ups my attitude. Here's a thought, articles I've read have said that people who have dogs exercise more. Adopt a furry friend, and make him your reason to get out!
Thank you! I am stuck in rut when it comes to exercises.
so true! not an option. I love to vary it, and interval training is great. for those who can do the more intense bursts of exercise for a minute, or short period of time, like in aerobics for example, and then go back down to low impact. I have not read the articles yet, but I will. I love to start out with yoga and then go into cardio. I also love to have my 3 lb. weights and do arm exercises and others and I need to get 5 lbs, weights and then maybe go up just a little from there.
Thank you Gabby!!!!!!! I sent this to my wife and hopefully she'll be inspired to take exercise seriously. Currently I can only get her outside for a "slow walk" about 3 times a week and she has to stop every block for a rest, sometimes more often. I've told her that her weight and being so out of shape has much to do with her depression and negative attitude. She doesn't want to hear that. I even tried saying that I'm sending out resumes for my next wife for when she croaks!! LOL She laughed and said, "Who would have you?." I'm trying to convince her to just do what she can do and gradually increase.
Again, thanks for this. We all need to take this seriously. I have been doing this for several years and I feel GREAT! It's well worth the effort and it gets more and more fun with time. The rewards are fantastic…
Tony5657 in New Braunfels, TX now at 70 years OLD.
Hi Tony,
Suggestion, even though I do not know you or your wife, but you said she has to rest often during your walks. Have you considered one of those walkers with wheels that has the seat on it? We found it helps our 83 year old friend to walk, not only better, but faster and safely. Plus, she has a seat there with her when she needs to rest. Just a thought. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Teresa for your suggestion but she doesn't need one of those walkers with wheels. She is gradually getting stronger. In the house she walks an extremely fast walk, but that's short spurts. I'm being patient with her when I can get her outside where we take many rest stops..
At least she is doing something. Some don't do anything but sit and work on a computer...oh...that used to be me. LOL
I agree, Gabby. I continue telling her that I'm proud of her and encouraging her that the walking WILL get easier and become fun. Now I look forward to my early morning fast walk. It energises me. Hopefully some day she will be able to go on that walk with me IF I can get her up that early. I love watching the sun start to come up as I'm coming home. Beautiful.
I agree with you, Tony about watching the sunrise. I see it come up each morning on my ride. I live in a rural area so as the sun comes up, I hear the animals waking up also (cows, sheep and horses). I often see antelope, coyotes and owls. A couple of weeks ago, I crested a hill and a small herd of antelope were crossing so I stopped and watched them.
Great article, thank you for posting. Nothing brings my glucose down faster than exercise. I get aerobic exercise every single day. Resistance training at least 3 times per week, sometimes more. Thanks to exercise and careful diet I have lost 94 lbs. I reached my goal weight 2 days ago. I find exercise is a great stress reliever too! If I miss exercise for day, I find that I don't sleep as well. Much as I hate being diabetic, the diagnosis turned my life around by motivating me to take much better care of my body. My soul too! No better time to pray than when I am out walking several miles!
Congrats on your weight loss!
I love the fact that exercise improves the thought process. I got back into exercising in 1987 when I became a peanut vendor at Twins, Vikings, and Gopher games. I realized how out of shape I was early in my first Twins game. I learned to walk and shout "peanuts" for three hours which helped walk 10 miles per game. With more than 120 events each year I stayed in shape, never slept better at day's end and my blood sugars stayed at a healthy 5.7 A1C which pleased my doctor no end These days walking three to five miles really helps keep my blood sugar in a healthy range of rarely more than 200 and mostly from 150 down to 90.
On my way to the gym as I read this…waiting for coffee to finish perking before I fill my go cup. Will read the article when I return, but have always believed that to be true.
I would like to try but I hae charcot foot and bad arthirits and plantoficitis in a lot of pain all the time.

I have only seen fantastic results from clients and friends and of course myself that use this product, it is the best treatment for peeling nails ....
Below are some images that were taken before Alyse tried the Trind Nail Repair Kit and again 6 weeks later, she has had trouble with her nails peeling and splitting since early childhood.
As you can see in her before pics she really struggled with thin flimsy nails and dry cuticles as well.
Where should I start, this is a completely unique product that will not only hydrate and condition your nail plate but will also enhance flexibility and strength.
Sounds too good to be true but I have used it myself and although I was an ex-acrylic junkie about 4 years ago, I would never use anything else on my nails but the Trind System.
We all want to see results and there are loads of other nail products out there that say they will do this and that....this is a treatment, a system that needs to be followed for 14 days and then after that once a week.
Your product will not go to waste either after your 14 days because you can use the nail balsam as often as you like and the nail repair as a base coat or just a nice clear gloss coat over your nails.
Within days you will start to notice changes in your nails, for me it was 3 days for others it may be more. Here are some images of how my nails were and how they are today!!
This is a very common problem that many women suffer from and get asked about, so I have shown you what you need, I know this is the best treatment for peeling nails and the rest is up to you.
I hope you are all excited to give this a go, to check out more about this product and testimonials from other women that are already using the Trind System just Click here...
