Tail grab to tail grab FTW.
It was comeback time for Swiss freeskier Elias Ambühl tonight. Ambühl—who's been out of competition for two straight seasons with injuries—showed he's not ready to give up the game to the young'uns just yet, winning the Milan FIS World Cup Big Air in style with a switch double cork 1440 trailing tail (score 86.4) and a massive double cork 1260 trailing tail to lead tail (90.8). It was almost like he hadn't been gone at all. On the women's side, French skier Coline Ballet-Baz clinched the top spot with an immaculate cork 900 trailing tail (87.2) and a clean switch bio 900 safety (90.2).
Coline Ballet-Baz on her way to the win.
Hugo Burvall of Sweden took the men's second-place spot with a nose-butter double cork 1260 safety (85.8) and a huge switch double cork 1440 double japan (90.4), followed in third place by Andri Ragettli, who laced up a triple cork 1440 safety to truck driver/bow-and-arrow (89.4) and a switch double misty 1260 trailing blunt (84.4).
Women's second-place finisher Johanne Killi of Norway landed a big cork 900 tail (88.8) and a switch 720 double japan (86.8). The women's podium was rounded out by Switzerland's Giulia Tanno, who landed the first-ever forward double cork 1080 in women's competition for a score of 93.00, as well as a switch left 900 safety (79.8). On her third and final hit, Tanno was looking for the switch 1080 and the win, but couldn't get the spin around in time.
Meanwhile on the men's side, Elias Syrjä posted the highest score of the evening, a 93.4, with a pre-grabbed double cork 1260 safety—the same trick that won him the Sosh Big Air event in Annecy, France last month. On his last hit Syrjä went for broke with an attempt a switch triple cork 1260, but couldn't put it down clean.
Interestingly, the American and Canadian teams don't seem very interested in attending W.C. Big Airs this year. Only a single American, Mac Forehand, dropped in in Milan tonight, making it to the finals in his first World Cup appearance. Now that we've seen Forehand, we want to know what his backhand looks like.
After event cancellations in El Colorado, Chile and Copenhagen, Denmark, the Milan Big Air was the first World Cup Big Air event this year. The next event will be held in Mönchengladbach, Germany on December 1.
Only one burning question remains to be answered: who exactly is Victor White, the big-air competitor who's apparently skiing for Barbados?


BJP leader Mukul Roy was among the four people booked on Sunday in connection with the killing of Trinamool Congress MLA Satyajit Biswas. Roy, is a former TMC member of Parliament, who defected to the BJP last year after his relations soured with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Satyajit Biswas, 41, was shot from point-blank range by unidentified assailants Saturday evening inside a Saraswati puja marquee at Phoolbari area in the district bordering Bangladesh. He was immediately taken to a local hospital where doctors announced him "brought dead".
The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress has blamed the BJP for the murder. West Bengal education minister Partha Chatterjee said, "A dangabaz [riotous] blood thirsty party like the BJP is capable of such acts. People of this country know it well. The way they have been provoking people, it's the result of such acts."
However, BJP state president Dilip Ghosh denied the charges and claimed that the killing might be the result of infighting in the TMC. "The allegations are baseless. The BJP is not at all involved in the case. Those who are blaming us are actually trying to hide their own sins," Ghosh said.
The West Bengal Police has so far arrested three people in the case who have also been named in the FIR. The department has also suspended officer-In-charge of Hanskhali Police station.


First of all, this post is a bit whiny and self-indulgent. Click away if that is going to annoy you. If you stay- don't say you weren't warned!
Second of all, to understand this post, you need to remember that Petunia is in the "I know what I want, but I can't always communicate it, and I certainly don't accept that I can't always have it" phase. I had forgotten how frustrating that phase is for all involved. I am well and truly tired of being screamed at.
Thursdays are the day of the week that I (theoretically) go for a run (OK, pathetic jog) after work. Originally, Hubby was going to pick both kids up at day care, and I would leave straight from work to drive to the bay and go for a run. Even with the run, I'd get home before everyone else, and get a load of laundry started and some sit ups in before Hubby got home with the kids.
That lasted for about a month, and was glorious while it lasted.
So I started picking Petunia up before my run, and taking her with me. The idea was that she would come along in the jogging stroller for my run, and then get 5-10 minutes at the playground before we went home.
That worked for maybe two weeks. Then Petunia started fighting getting in her stroller. Despite what Hubby might tell you about what a softy I am, this is not just a case of me being insufficiently stubborn: one time, she screamed for 20 minutes in the stroller. I hate to inflict that on everyone else trying to enjoy the bay.
But then I had an idea- what if I took snacks and a drink for Petunia? I could bribe her into her stroller! That worked beautifully. For one week.
Today, I left my workout clothes at home, but remembered everything else I need (jogging stroller, drink and snacks for Petunia) and was wearing comfortable shoes, so I decided to go for a walk by the bay. I bribed Petunia into her stroller and set off. But, about 10 minutes in, she started asking for cereal. I didn't have any. Screaming ensued.
After what seemed like an hour, we finally got back to the playground. (Have you ever noticed how slowly time passes when your toddler is screaming?) Petunia wanted to go on the swing, but only if she could hold her bowl of crackers (which she had previously tried to throw on the ground in a fit of pique over the absence of cereal). With the lid off. At a precarious angle. If I tried to adjust any of this, she screamed.
Then, when it was time to go, she screamed.
Then, when I got her in the car, and took the now empty bowl of crackers and dumped out the crumbs before handing it back to her, she decided to scream the entire way home.
I'm leaning towards giving up on the Thursday evening run idea. Getting screamed at for 20-30 minutes in a public place is stressing me out.
This, my friends, is why I have not lost the five pounds it would take to get me back into the "healthy" weight range. When some well meaning person tells me that I "just" need to "make time for myself" and go exercise, I want to punch them in the face. I'm good at logistics. I view scheduling everything that everyone in the family needs/wants to do as a puzzle and don't generally mind figuring out how to make it happen. But I haven't figured this puzzle out yet. I'm now looking at whether I can protect enough time during one of my work days to allow me to go work out during the day with any regularity. That's hard at this job, so I consider that a seriously suboptimal solution, which will probably result in me skipping a lot of workouts due to meetings. But if my only other option is getting screamed at while I try to run? Maybe it isn't so bad.
If you can't be whiny & self-indulgent on your own blog - well, what's the point of blogging really!
Hope the vent made you feel better.
At any point in time if you ask me how DC is, I would say AWESOME, but given how much more awesome he is as he gets older I just can't go back to those previous stages.
@nicoleandmaggie, there are times when having two kids is awesome. Pumpkin is a wonderful big sister, and wtching her help Petunia, and having Petunia say her version of "thank you".... well, that's just heart-meltingly good. And even if she's a howler monkey right now, Petunia is awfully cute.
I have chosen to prioritize "me time" over "family dinner time" not least because my personal sense is that "family dinners" with LOs this L (but mine is now 4, bigger than Petunia) are grossly overrated at a general cultural level, and they're not a huge priority to me (not having more than, say, 3 per week, that is, which is about where we land). But assuming you have already contemplated and rejected a different prioritization of those 2 items, I've got nothing except sympathy.
The screaming phase is awful, awful, awful. It does something to me, too, that stays with me long after the screaming is done.
OH my God - is there a way to keep Evan at 10 months????
I hope you can find some way to get some me time in. It's tough.
This, my friends, is why I have not lost the five pounds it would take to get me back into the "healthy" weight range.
I don't think there's anything in the world that irritates me more than people saying this. And that was not at all whiny or self-indulgent; I though it was therapeutic to read.
That sounds incredibly frustrating! When there's such a simple way for everything to work out well for everyone - if only the tiny people would get on board with it. I remember trying to do a T-Tapp routine when Elli was tiny. First she'd wake up when I was partway in, so I'd stop, bring her in, set her up in her little rocking chair so she could watch me, and she'd stare happily at me working out for all of about a minute before starting the screaming routine. Even in private I don't want to be screamed at for the 15 minutes it would have taken me to finish the workout, so that just didn't last.
I keep reminding myself that things aren't permanent. Just because it isn't working this month, doesn't mean that it can't work properly next month, or maybe the month after. Also? Family dinners are awesome.
@Cloud, I'm sure I will enjoy it when the time comes. I always enjoyed every stage when it was happening... just in retrospect things are so much easier and more fun now. In any case, it will probably take forever to happen so no sense in dwelling on it. I'd put it out of my mind if Metformin weren't making me so queasy.
One of the biggest surprises to me about this whole "parenting" thing was that kids do not happily sit in strollers -- at least mine have not -- while buff MLIFs contentedly train for marathons and Ironman competitions. I mean it sounds so simple, just like "getting a sitter", "staying up late once in a while" and "finding a daycare."
I lost the 5 lbs at about the 5 year mark. Actually there were 30 of them. But #2, the weight's come off - the muscle return? Not so much.
I hear you on it being really hard to find time to exercise, and wanting to punch/slap/cause random bodily harm to well-meaning folks who just imply that you are not looking hard enough at your schedule, because there is all this time you could be using for yourself if you only tried harder!
One mom told me that I should exercise at 10 pm when everyone is asleep. I just rolled my eyes -- in the rare case when I am not completely pooped by then and able to just sleep or veg on the couch, I actually have work to do then.
There was a nice women-only exercise studio in the neighborhood. After I finally found the strength to go there 6-6:45 AM 2x a week (so I am back and showered before everyone wakes up), and was doing it for a month, they went out of business! My husband teases me it's a sign I should not exercise.
I always work through lunch and do all the cooking for dinner, plus we carpool and kids have swimming 2x a week. I really don't know when I am supposed to exercise, if it's not (as everything else) at the expense of my (already reduced) sleep.
I'm with @Shandra re: the biggest parenting surprise being kids who just don't want to be in a stroller. See some whiny & self-indulgent posts on my blog for reference!!! Moo is now ok with riding in the stroller *if* I walk a route she has never been allowed to walk. Otherwise - yeah, much thrashing and screaming as she tries to get out to walk. Dude, I did not realise 18 month olds would want/ be able to walk almost 2km!
@SHandra: "One of the biggest surprises to me about this whole "parenting" thing was that kids do not happily sit in strollers -- at least mine have not -- while buff MLIFs contentedly train for marathons and Ironman competitions. I mean it sounds so simple, just like "getting a sitter", "staying up late once in a while" and "finding a daycare." " LMFAO!!!! So true. I literally cannot even imagine a universe in which I had the time or energy for exercise. My little time in the evenings consist of drooling in front of the TV and fantasizing about running away from home.
That said - Cloud, do you have any mommy friends close by? I have a good friend here and we sometimes watch each other's kids - one week I'll take hers for an hour or two and then the next week she will.
Thanks for the ideas and good wishes, everyone! I promise to write a follow up when I figure this out.
"I am well and truly tired of being screamed at." WORD, sister! Hang in there!
And ZOMG the screaming! We went through that with the Pookie a few months ago, and now we're going through it again. It's killing me!
Oh. Yeah. Thank you for saying this: "When some well meaning person tells me that I "just" need to "make time for myself" and go exercise, I want to punch them in the face."
Like @caramama said, it just seems to be one thing after another. And schedule changes are so hard. So once there's a glitch somewhere it's so hard to get back on track.

Edmonton wants expanse of river valley designated as provincial park
Edmonton's mayor wants to see a major chunk of the North Saskatchewan River valley designated as an urban provincial park.
City council to discuss asking the province to include the Big Island-Woodbend area in a new park
Lydia Neufeld · CBC News · Posted: Sep 08, 2017 3:02 PM MT | Last Updated: September 19, 2017
These wetlands are part of a 400-hectare area known as the Big Island-Woodbend natural area. (Sierra Club Canada Foundation)
The Big Island-Woodbend area covers more than 400 hectares, extending from Anthony Henday Drive in the southwest to the town of Devon.
"It really is a phenomenal area," Mayor Don Iveson said Friday. "The beauty that was there 100 years ago is still fully there."
The idea to have the area become a provincial park was first raised in early 2016, said Iveson.
As pictured on this map, the proposed park would cover about 400 hectares of river valley land. (City of Edmonton)
In recent months, the mayor's office has hosted meetings with officials from Parkland County, Enoch Cree Nation, Leduc County and the Town of Devon to gauge interest.
Informal talks with provincial officials have gone well, and now is the time to ask them to formally consider the idea, he said.
On Tuesday, city council will discuss sending a letter to the province with a request to designate the area a park, and asking the province to develop the concept.
'The beauty that was there 100 years ago, is still fully there, says Mayor Don Iveson. (CBC)
"The province has stronger tools than individual municipalities have to protect these special lands," said Iveson.
The North Saskatchewan River Valley Conservation Society has been working for years to protect the area.
It released a video in July 2013 as part of an effort to raise money to buy the land, which is mostly privately owned but can't be developed.
It estimated $25 million would be needed to purchase the land.
"The city has been crystal clear for decades that we have no plans to develop that as anything other than a park," he said.
The park would be protected from development but the idea would not be to "wall it off," the mayor said.
Big Island was the first "accidental beach" that Edmontonians flocked to a century ago, he said.
The new park would include accessible trails and perhaps a campground, Iveson said, comparing the vision to Fish Creek Provincial Park in Calgary.
That park extends 19 kilometres from east to west, making it the second largest urban park in Canada.
If the province moves ahead with the proposal, it will take two to five years before the new park becomes a reality, said Iveson.

Don't worry, only a year to go.
Love Island is officially over for another year, and we don't quite know what to do with ourselves.
Thankfully, ITV haven't been total melts, and have recommissioned the reality show for a fourth series in 2018.
In news that will surprise nobody at all, the show will be back next year, presumably on ITV2, but this has not been 100% confirmed yet. Considering the success of this year's series, there's always a chance it might make the upgrade to ITV.
It has also not been confirmed whether host Caroline Flack or voiceover artist Iain Stirling will be back. Digital Spy has reached out to ITV for comment.
Love Island – which crowned winners Kem and Amber in tonight's live final – has proven to be a ratings success for ITV2 this year, averaging 2.4 million consolidated viewers across the series.
ITV2's Head of Digital Channels & Acquisitions, Paul Mortimer, said: "At ITV2, we couldn't be more thrilled with how Love Island fever has gripped the nation. Now established as the perfect series to start the summer, we're delighted to be bringing the show back for our young adult audience in 2018."
ITV Studios' Creative Director for Entertainment, Richard Cowles, added: "We are delighted that viewers have embraced Love Island so wholeheartedly; it has become the most talked-about show of the summer. We are thrilled that we will be back with a new series next year."
Love Island: Aftersun will be back for a final reunion special on Sunday night at 9pm on ITV2. After that, you're on your own for a year.
Is Caroline Flack returning for Love Island series 3?

Cell-based assays are commonly used analytical tools to measure the cell proliferation, viability, cytotoxicity, production and screening of compounds. Owing to the rise in cases of chronic disorders and increasing inclination of the government organizations and private firms funding in the health sector, there has been a consistent high demand of new therapeutic drug discovery. In this regard, the cell-based assays have advantage over the conventional animal based models for drug discovery. Cell-based assays utilizes live cell models to investigate the cellular mechanism when exposed to external stimuli and provide precise information about the intracellular molecular targets required in drug discovery screening. In contrary to the animal based methods, the resultant toxicity and safety measures in cell based assays are monitored at an early stage of an experiment, hence it reduces the additional cost that can be generated due to high failure rates if monitored at a later stage of an experiment. In combination to high-throughput screening techniques, cell- based assays have gained its interest in the area of research and development for primary as well as secondary screening. However, cell-based assay's experimental instruments and kits are expensive and require high skilled professionals to conduct the procedures as the cost of experimental procedure is relatively high. This acts as one of the key restraining factors governing the cell-based assays markets.
The cell-based assays market is segmented based on product, application, and end user. On the basis of product, the market is categorised into consumables, instruments, services, and software. Consumables is further sub-categorised into reagents, assays kits, microplates, cell lines, probes and labels and other consumables, and is expected contribute the largest share to the global market in 2016.
Based on application, the global cell-based assays market is categorised into drug discovery, research studies, Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion (ADME) analysis, predictive toxicology, and other applications. The drug discovery segment accounts for the largest share of the global cell based assays market in the year 2017.
Based on end user, the cell-based assays market is segmented into pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies, academic and government institutions, contract research organisations, and others. Among the end user segment, the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies are expected to hold the largest share, and are likely to witness the fastest growth rate during the forecast period.
The global cell-based assays market is anticipated to grow on account of rise in the incidence of chronic diseases, increasing public and private intervention in the area of research and development, inclination towards cell-based assays over traditional biochemical assays, and a sustained increase in the drug discovery activity. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 7 out of ten causes of death were due to chronic ailments, in 2014. Additionally, the cell-based assay techniques have many advantages over conventional methodology. The continuous advancement in technological products under cell-based assay along with their cost effectiveness are the major drivers of the growth of global cell-based assays market.
The stringent intellectual property rights, the need of high skilled professionals to perform the cell-based assays processes, and the high cost of apparatus are some of the factors restraining the growth of the global cell based assay market.
Certain factors such as, the involvement of developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region such as China and India, advancement in technology such as emergence of 3D cell-based assays, increase in demand of toxicological testing of screened compounds in drug discovery along with the varied application of cell-based assays present a vast opportunity for the manufacturers in the global cell-based assays market.
Geographically, North America has been the largest region in the global cell-based assays market, mainly attributable to the high public and private funding in the research and development field of cell-based assays market. North America is expected to remain the largest market in the global market during the period 2017 – 2023, followed by the Europe. Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period with, countries such as China, Japan and India expected to be the growing centers of the cell-based assay market in the region.
The global cell based assays market has witnessed several collaborations in the recent years, these collaborations were primarily aimed at gaining technological advancements and competing with the other manufacturers operating in the global cell based assay market.
In March 2017, BioreclamationIVT acquired TransCell Science adding cell-based assays for phenotypic screening into its portfolio. In November 2013, Argos Soditic announced its acquisition of Ciscio Bioassays to grow its presence in the cell-based assays market.
Some of the other major players operating in the global cell-based assays market include Merck KGaA, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Promega Corporation, Danaher Corporation, GE Healthcare, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., BioTek Instruments Inc., Lonza Group, ProQinase GmbH, Charles River Laboratories Inc, Cisbio Bioassays, Miltenyi Biotec, Cell Biolabs, Inc., DiscoverX Corporation, BioAgilytix Labs., Enzo Life Sciences, Inc., Aurelia Bioscience Ltd., Selexis SA, and QGel SA.

Breast cancer risks conferred by many germline missense variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, often referred to as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), have not been established. In this study, associations between 19 BRCA1 and 33 BRCA2 missense substitution variants and breast cancer risk were investigated through a breast cancer case–control study using genotyping data from 38 studies of predominantly European ancestry (41,890 cases and 41,607 controls) and nine studies of Asian ancestry (6,269 cases and 6,624 controls). The BRCA2 c.9104A>C, p.Tyr3035Ser (OR = 2.52; P = 0.04), and BRCA1 c.5096G>A, p.Arg1699Gln (OR = 4.29; P = 0.009) variant were associated with moderately increased risks of breast cancer among Europeans, whereas BRCA2 c.7522G>A, p.Gly2508Ser (OR = 2.68; P = 0.004), and c.8187G>T, p.Lys2729Asn (OR = 1.4; P = 0.004) were associated with moderate and low risks of breast cancer among Asians. Functional characterization of the BRCA2 variants using four quantitative assays showed reduced BRCA2 activity for p.Tyr3035Ser compared with wild-type. Overall, our results show how BRCA2 missense variants that influence protein function can confer clinically relevant, moderately increased risks of breast cancer, with potential implications for risk management guidelines in women with these specific variants.

"The more isolated and disconnected we are, the more shattered and distorted our self-identity. We are not healthy when we are alone. We find ourselves when we connect to others. Without community we don't know who we are...
When we live outside of healthy community, we not only lose others. We lose ourselves...Who we understand ourselves to be is dramatically affected for better or worse by those we hold closest to us."
― Erwin McManus
"Love, no matter how you come at it, is a huge risk. It makes it easier for me to remember that God will never reject me because I am not good enough and that any community that has His heart will embrace me as I am. Jesus invites us into a community where imperfect people can find acceptance, love, forgiveness, and a new beginning."
"Whoever tells the best story shapes the culture."

I am so excited to announce that I now offer Image Boxes!!! I recently ordered some new product samples and fell in love with them the minute they arrived!! Below are a few images of my new Image Box product sample.
Each box is designed with a custom printed cover displaying 1-2 images from your session which extends around the full exterior of the box.
Each box opens like a book, and has a strong magnetic clasp which keeps the cover shut tight. I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered it, but this box means business! I almost had trouble opening it the first time because I didn't expect the magnet to be so strong!! I love how sturdy these boxes are!
Speaking of sturdy...each box is made of real wood! Every other company I've seen uses thick black board for it's box edges (which can get warped over time!), but I love my supplier because they are the only ones I know of who makes these boxes with real wood! It feels so solid and well made in your hands!
Furthermore, once you open your image box, you'll find a custom image panel inside, along with 9 mounted prints, made from your favorite images from our session together!
A simple tug on the ribbon provided and your prints come out easily, ready for you to handle and enjoy.
Another feature I love about the image box, is how versatile it is! Upon arrival, your box will contain 9 mounted prints, but with those prints you can do anything! Keep them in your box, frame them or, my favorite, put them on an easel! Once you put a photo in a frame you rarely (if ever!) change it out. By putting your mounted image on an easel, you can easily switch it out with another photo whenever you want!
And even better! Take all your images out and you have a keepsake box! Use it for trinkets, jewelry, or whatever you like!
Well, I hope you're just as excited about these little treasures as I am! It fascinates me all the different ways you can display your images! Canvases, albums, books, image boxes, accordion books...the possibilities are endless!!
Keep an eye out for more samples to come!
Oh yeah, and.....Happy 4th of July everyone!! Stay safe tonight!

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has responded to a statement by the information minister saying the opposition party deserves to be deregistered.
While addressing journalists in Lagos on Sunday, Lai Mohammed criticised the PDP's reaction to the kidnap and release of the Dapchi schoolgirls. The opposition party had expressed skepticism with the kidnap of the 111 schoolgirls, and eventual release of 105 of them, saying the scenario appeared stage-managed by the ruling party.
The PDP, in a statement by its publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, replied saying the APC is less a party compared to the PDP.


The perfect Thanksgiving side dish that requires just a few minutes of your time to put together. I love the sliced almonds and dried cranberries on this especially with the easy, homemade dressing!
Combine the oil, vinegars, mustard, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, almonds, cranberries and parsley.
Drizzle with dressing and toss well.

Women face unique challenges when it comes to addiction recovery, but rarely are they addressed in formalized treatment centers. All too often, individuals seek help – and they only receive information, tools, support and resources that address the addiction itself and nothing else. Addiction is not what makes a person, however. We're all complex beings with histories, thoughts, personalities, learning capabilities and mental health statuses. What better way to enhance our addiction recovery than to address many of the most important aspects of our lives? The mind, body and spirit represent a holistic view of recovery, and by taking this approach, we can address not only addiction, but also some of the most pressing needs facing women today: body image issues, parenting concerns and healthy relationship guidance.
Women face a lot of pressures in the world today to keep up appearances. Magazines and societal expectations hold incredibly high standards, which are enough to make anyone feel incompetent. Previous studies have highlighted the fact that women who have a low self-image are more likely to use drugs; a 2017 study conducted by researchers from the University of Missouri-Columbia found that teenagers who struggle with depression and low self-esteem, as well as negative body image, are likely to increase their tobacco and alcohol use.
A negative body image can cause women to be at higher risk for depression as well as eating disorders – and sometimes drugs feel like the only way "out".
Be honest about the past.
Allow your child to express their feelings, no matter how painful it may be to hear them.
Let time heal these wounds.
Be actively present in your child's life.
Cherish the moments that you spend with your child.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) highlights many services that women in recovery can benefit from, such as parenting skills, vocational assistance, family therapy, individual therapy and more. Mothers in recovery may need to "relearn" how to build a relationship with their children, how to recover from feelings of shame, how to let go of unrealistic expectations and other crucial components of parenting.
Relationship-building is a huge aspect of recovery because that social support is what can drive many women to continue pushing past all obstacles they encounter in recovery. When active addiction has taken such a significant toll on a person, however, it can make forming relationships a bit challenging. Some women have only been accustomed to forming relationships with people whom they've abused substances with – and for them, recovery is an entirely new world where they must build a recovery support network.
Our past can weigh heavily on the way we relate to others, and some women may have a strong pull towards relationships that don't serve them in healthy ways. Throughout recovery, these types of concerns should be addressed.
There are many concerns that are unique to women, which makes them important topics to address in recovery. The more personalized care that can be provided, the greater the chances of success will be for women striving to overcome addiction. If you have a loved one who is currently struggling with addiction, speak with a professional from Cumberland Heights. Help is right around the corner.
What makes women more susceptible to relapsing?
A 2016 study published in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment found that women's social networks are great influencers of relapse; women in recovery are less likely to relapse if they surround themselves with people who are conducive to their recovery. In fact, a 2015 study published in the journal Qualitative Health Research stated that for many women, it's a necessity to distance or isolate themselves from social groups have had a negative impact on their recovery. What other ways can women combat the social influence on relapse?
12-Step programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) provide a safe space for women to meet others working towards their recovery; similarly, sponsorship can provide women with someone who has already been working diligently in their recovery and can encourage them in pursuing their recovery goals. In addition to social support, women face additional risks to relapse. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) notes that family problems, mental health issues, medical issues, education and employment concerns and more can all have an impact on how a person views themselves and their recovery. Ultimately, it's the right support, treatment and structure that is needed.
Remembering. Many participants in the study reported remembering certain aspects of their substance abuse – and very vividly – so they could easily recall just how much destruction is caused and how "out of control" they felt. This served as a clear reminder to many women what happens when they engage in addiction.
Being careful. It was very important to women in the study to watch out for thoughts, feelings and behaviors that were signs of being triggered. They described a delicate balance between attention and monitoring as a way of anticipating or working through troubling events.
Seeking community. Community provided many women with a sense of safety, comfort and access to others whom they could build connections with. 12-Step programs were highlighted as places to stay "plugged in" to recovery.
Each person will experience different types of triggers, but the key is to find what works best for you. For many, the strategies listed above work wonderfully and others may have additional tools. Don't wait any longer to start working diligently towards your journey.


The Trinity River is a 710-mile-long (1,140 km) river in Texas, and is the longest river with a watershed entirely within the U.S. state of Texas. It rises in extreme northern Texas, a few miles south of the Red River. The headwaters are separated by the high bluffs on the southern side of the Red River.
The Elm Fork Trinity River flows south from near Gainesville through Ray Roberts Lake and east of the city of Denton eventually through Lewisville Lake.
The West Fork and the Elm Fork merge as they enter the city of Dallas and form the Trinity River.
The East Fork Trinity River (on old maps the Bois d'Arc River) begins near McKinney, Texas and flows through Lavon Lake then Lake Ray Hubbard before joining the Trinity River just southeast of Dallas.
The Trinity then flows southeast from Dallas across a fertile floodplain and the pine forests of eastern Texas, many of which were settled during the period of the Republic of Texas. The Trinity crosses Texas State Highway 31 in Henderson County, near where the first county seat, Buffalo, was established. Roughly 65 miles (105 km) north of the mouth, an earthen dam was built in 1968 to form Lake Livingston.
It flows onward to the south, into Trinity Bay, an arm of Galveston Bay that is an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico. Its river mouth is near the town of Anahuac, southeast of Houston.
Plans from the 1890s for a shipping channel along the length of the Trinity River were scrapped because it would have required extensive dredging to make the river navigable, although several overpasses were built with very high clearances in anticipation of the shipping channel. Locks were actually built 13 miles downstream of Dallas in the early 1900s. Original federal plans called for building 36 locks and dams from Trinity Bay near Houston to Dallas. The first built was Lock and Dam No. 1 in the city of Dallas at McCommas Bluff. Lock construction came to a standstill in the wake of World War I, however. Only Lock and Dam Nos. 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 20 and 25 were built. There are currently no plans for addressing these old locks located in various spots along the Trinity River. However, the Corps is working nearby on the Dallas Floodway Extension Project. The DFE Project is under construction and is helping to fulfill their mission, as directed by Congress in cooperation with the city of Dallas. It is helping to lower flood risk, and provide ecosystem restoration and recreation to the citizens of Dallas.
The Trinity River Corridor Project is intended to transform the Trinity River flood zone in downtown Dallas into the nation's largest urban park, featuring three signature bridges designed by acclaimed architect Santiago Calatrava.
A similar project is planned by the Tarrant Regional Water District, City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Streams & Valleys Inc., and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop an area north of "downtown" as "uptown" along the Trinity River. This plan promotes a large mixed-use development adjacent to the central city area of Fort Worth, with a goal to prevent urban sprawl by promoting the growth of a healthy, vibrant urban core. The Trinity River Vision lays the groundwork to enable Fort Worth's central business district to double in size over the next forty years.
Major flooding occurred on the Trinity River in the years 1844, 1866, 1871, and 1890, but a major event in the spring of 1908 set in motion the harnessing of the river. On 26 May 1908, the Trinity River reached a depth of 52.6 feet (16.03 m) and a width of 1.5 miles (2.4 km). Five people died, 4,000 were left homeless, and property damage was estimated at $2.5 million.
Dallas was without power for three days, all telephone and telegraph service was down, and rail service was canceled. The only way to reach Oak Cliff was by boat. West Dallas was hit harder than any other part of the city—the Dallas Times Herald said "indescribable suffering" plagued the area. Much to the horror of residents, thousands of livestock drowned in the flood and some became lodged in the tops of trees. The stench of their decay hung over the city as the water subsided.
The Trinity River flooding on 8 July 1908.
After the disastrous flood, the city's citizenry wanted to find a way to control the unpredictable Trinity River and to build a bridge linking Oak Cliff and Dallas. The immediate reaction was clamor to build an indestructible, all-weather crossing over the Trinity. This had already been tried following the 1890 flood; the result was the "Long Wooden Bridge" that connected Jefferson Boulevard in Oak Cliff and Cadiz in Dallas, but the resulting unstable bridge was easily washed away by the 1908 flood. George B. Dealey, publisher of the Dallas Morning News, proposed a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) concrete bridge based on the design of a bridge crossing the Missouri River in Kansas City. Ultimately, a US$650,000 (US$16.9 million in today's terms) bond election was approved and in 1912, the Oak Cliff Viaduct (now the Houston Street Viaduct) was opened with festivities that drew 58,000 spectators. At that time, the bridge was the longest concrete structure in the world.
The Trinity River in Dallas flooded up to the levees in June 2015. Seen from the Commerce Street bridge.
Minor flooding of the Trinity River occurs frequently, such as, for instance, in the spring of 2015.
