Thanks. I wasn't planning to continue posting this story on this site anymore due to lack of interest, but since there is apparently interest, here's chapter 3:
Chapter Three: Octavianus
Boreas awoke in the open air and, after a moment of disorientation, the bitter memories of the previous night hit him like an anvil of sadness. He tried to go back to the blissful unconsciousness of sleep, but now his sadness, the Sun's light, and his hunger kept him awake. He smelt a delicious odour and tried to ignore it, as he didn't want to ever eat again in his grief. His stomach, however, had different plans and was rumbling loudly. Eventually, he couldn't help submitting to his hunger, so he opened his eyes and slowly got up from under the small blanket that had somehow ended up on top of him.
Good to see you awake, boy," Octavianus said, "I do hope you slept well."
I'm fine." Boreas lied, "Just a bit hungry."
You're in luck, then," Octavianus said, "for as you can probably smell, Black is preparing breakfast. Incidentally, what did you say your name was?"
I didn't... But it's Boreas."
Ah, good. Did I introduce myself yet? Regardless, my name is Octavianus, but please call me Octa. For Octavianus is a good name to bear, but rather sesquipedalian."
R-right, I suppose it is."
Octa!" Black called, "Breakfast is ready, so wake up our guest and come here!"
Boreas was hungry, of course, but he was a bit afraid of coming closer to the human, still worried he might end up as breakfast. "I don't want breakfast."
Come, my dear fellow," Octa said to Boreas, "I heard your borborygmi, so don't pretend you're not hungry. You'll feel better once you've had a decent meal. Besides, I think 'tis about time you met Black."
Boreas' stomach rumbled loudly and saliva entered his mouth as he smelt the food's delicious odour again, and that convinced him to join Octa and Black. Black was baking food in a pan on a small fire and currently scooping the food onto three plates. He saw Boreas and smiled friendly. "Hey there, Eevee. It's good to see you're awake. Have some breakfast."
Boreas sat down and ate gratefully. The food was delicious and warmed him from the inside. He felt satisfied for the first time in a day as he ate. He looked up at the friendly human who had rescued him and made him breakfast, and decided he would have to tell Eurus and Zeph that humans-
He felt a lump in his throat and his eyes became hazy with tears as he realised he could never tell Eurus or Zeph how wrong they were, nor would Eurus ever try to make something up and pass it off as truth. Both of them were gone forever. The grief for his lost family came back in full force and bitter tears forced themselves into his eyes.
Black petted Boreas' collar. "There, there, little guy. I can't bring back your family, but I promise I will find you someone to live with. Accumula Town is just a few days away, and there must be something they can do for orphaned pokémon at it's pokécenter. I'll make sure they will take good care of you. By the way, what should I call you?"
Boreas tried to stop crying. "B-Boreas."
He can't understand you, my dear fellow," Octa said picking up a small stick, "but let me help you." he wrote Boreas' name in the earth with the stick in elaborate, curly letters.
Thanks, Octa." Black said, "so your name is Boreas? Well then, Boreas, don't you worry, we'll get you to safety. Speaking of which, I think we should get going if you're both done eating."
Black returned the plates and pan to his backpack and they set out over the over the earthy path through the forest. Octa walked next to Boreas and started talking to him. "Say, my dear fellow, I know this is somewhat of a sensitive subject to you, but do you happen to know if your parents were well-bred?"
What do you mean?"
I mean: who selected your grandparents to breed? How far back do you know your family tree? Is your family pure-blooded, or do you descend from any non-Eevees? You must understand, genealogy is somewhat of an interest of mine."
I... Don't know."
Octa sighed. "Then you probably aren't well-bred, what a pity. I want you to know, though, that it won't interfere with a potential friendship between us."
It won't?" Boreas wasn't sure what he'd done wrong, but that was a relief to hear.
No, it won't. Some, like my great-aunt Galaxia, believe those of good lineage should only interact with others of good lineage and treat those who aren't well-bred with contempt, but I don't agree with that. That's just getting things backwards, for it seems to suppose that not having good ancestry is a curse, while good ancestry is the standard. In reality, of course, it is the other way around: good ancestry is a blessing, and the standard is not having so. The fact that you aren't well-bred simply means that while I was born into greatness, you shall have to achieve it for yourself."
Boreas still wasn't quite sure what Octa was talking about. "What do you mean?"
Octa was, by now, gleaming with pride. "You see, my dear fellow, my family has been bred by expert breeders for thirty-five generations to be an excellent line of great pokémon, and I can, in fact, tell you a plethora of stories about each of those generations. I am a direct descendant, for example, by twenty-six generations, of the Serperior that was used by the warlord Kalgan, whom ruled all of Unova three centuries ago. And my ancestor by thirty-one generations' brother Vigintus was the main pokémon in the team of Sir Edward Slateport, whom discovered Hoenn. And Hieronymus, my ancestor of fifteen generations..."
...Well, you get the idea. He went on like that for hours, describing the life and achievements of what must've been hundreds of members of his thirty-five generation ancestry."
He sounds like an arrogant, pompous twit." Aqua said.
Boreas chuckled. "Well, he is. But he's also a nice and guy and a good friend once you get over his smug attitude and obsession with ancestry."
Still, blabbering about his own family like that to someone who'd just lost his family, and indirectly insulting your family while acting like he's so enlightened..." She grabbed Boreas' paw. "It must've been so hard for you..."
Boreas blushed. "I-uh- well- I didn't feel so bad. And... um... Where was I? Oh yeah. Actually, Octa's stories about his family actually distracted me from my own family, and I was content to just listen to him for several hours. Anyway, in the end I just couldn't hold in my laughter at the weird way he speaks..."
...And so 'twas like that that she- What's so funny, my dear fellow?" Octa stopped talking.
Boreas just couldn't hold in his chuckling. "You talk funny."
Octa wasn't amused. "What are you insinuating?"
I mean you say things like "my dear fellow" and "'tis". Do all captured pokémon talk like you?"
Octa had returned to his prideful manner. "No, my dear fellow, not many talk like me. This style of speech signifies a sharp wit, great intelligence, good ancestry, and mastery of our noble language."
Boreas thought. "So if 'tis like thee, my dear fellow, that that I shall be predilected to employ vocabulary with sesquipedalian loquaciousness, notwithstanding the availability of more comprehensible diminutive alternatives, I shall signify myself to possess all of these qualities? Or shall it just be anaspeptic, prasmotic, or even compunctuous of me to cause others extreme periconbobulations when they cannot comprehend me?"
Both were silent for a moment, then erupted into laughter. Octa slapped Boreas on the back jovially.
Shh." Black hissed. He was standing still in the path. "Look over there, a Lillipup!"
A Lillipup was sitting under a tree next to the path. It had apparently not noticed them yet. "Excellent." Octa said, rubbing his hands, "a new teammember."
No, Octa." Black said, "I was thinking of capturing it. I hear their final evolution is wicked strong. Get in there and use Vine Whip."
That's what I- Oh, never mind." Octa sighed. He ran at the Lillipup and hit it with a vine, to its great surprise.
Great job!" Black called, "Now I can catch it!" He threw a pokéball. It landed harmless several metres to the Lillipup's right. The startled Lillipup ran off into the forest, calling for help.
You missed?" Octa said incredulously, "How could you miss it?"
Sorry, that was the first time I ever threw a pokéball... I thought it would be lighter. Still, it's several days to Accumula, so it's not like we won't run into any other wild pokémon to catch and show to Bianca and Cheren."
Hmpf," Octa snorted, "like we'd ever lose a pokémon catching contest to those two."
Octa, why do you and Black want to catch pokémon?" Boreas asked as they continued on the path.
Because, my dear fellow, the Champion battles with six pokémon. Despite my ancestry and skill, I couldn't hope to defeat six pokémon on my own. So we'll need a team of six by then. Preferably sooner, as most other trainers use multiple pokémon too."
What is the Champion?" Boreas asked.
Octa stared at him incredulously. "You... Don't know? Sorry, I forgot you are very young and grew up in the wild. The Champion is the most powerful trainer in all of Unova. When Black defeats him, he will be the new Champion, and I will be in the Hall of Fame as his main pokémon. Of course, that will not be a new feat for my family, as I directly descend from nineteen different Hall of Fame members. My grandmother, for example, was in-"
Boreas interrupted him, "Where does the Champion live?"
The Champion can be found all the way in the north of Unova, on the top of a large, deserted mountain. There is a castle there, where the Champion and four other mighty trainers will battle challengers. But to even be allowed to challenge them, one first has to collect all eight badges. This is done by defeating the Gym Leader of each city, a powerful trainer whom is an expert on his or her speciality type. We are currently journeying through Unova to collect all eight badges."
How many do you already have?"
Octa seemed a bit embarrassed. "Not a single one, actually. Black and I only met yesterday, I was a birthday present to him. We're travelling to Striaton City, where we will defeat our first Gym Leader, and on the way there, we will stop in Accumula to get you a new home."

Olivia and Claire are best friends on the cusp of adulthood, spending what might be their last summer vacation at a beautiful lake house owned by Olivia's father.
The girls have the house all to themselves, and Claire is having a hard time dealing with her strong feelings for Olivia. But their world is about to get completely turned upside down when a brutal and mysterious man named M. Butcher enters the house, and informs them he is there to abduct them both.

I loved this one so much that I just bought another one! I am also thinking of trying H-311. I think it will be a good summer shorty.
LUV P/4/27/30 TOO. Chilli lasts and lasts. I, too, wish the lace came in a lighter option. I am Caucasian, and the Chilli lace is pretty dark. It is the only thing that causes others to look at my hairline with suspicion, and that makes me uncomfortable. If the lace was closer to my natural color, I would wear Chilli for life! Vivica, your product is superior, and to offering the styles with a lighter-colored lace would double your market base! Please consider it, and let me know.....I'll be a customer for life!
Chilli is so cool
I'm trying a different color this time: GM432. The color seems so bright and lively onscreen and I wanted to try something new. My previous Chilli purchases were 4/27/30. I really love that color.
Chilli feels very light on my head, like I'm not even wearing a wig. It lasts well with everyday use, too. I usually replace it every 3-4 months. I cut the lace front to trace my scalp line and it looks natural, although the lace is just a tad dark for my skin color.
This is a good wig. A really good wig. Maybe this lighter hair color will also have a lighter lace color that better matches my skin. Anyway, Chilli is my favorite and has been for more than a year. Thanks, Vivica Fox!
Love my Chilli
I received my chilli about two weeks ago. It was beautiful and it took me a minute to get use to the fullness. It is very comfortable and light. I love it. The compliments just keep coming from coworkers and strangers. I've never ordered a wig online but you can bet I will be ordering another real soon. I love how the curls just snap back after washing. No curling irons needed. It's always styled and ready to go.
My Favorite!
I absolutely love this wig!! I have tried a variety of other styles BUT I always come back to Chilli!! Love the color 4/27/30
On back order!
I love this wig it's beautiful but can't get the color I need again--GM 234 has been on back order for over a month? Connie
Wonderful Color
Have purchased this wig several times. I truly love the soft curls and the color 4/27/30.
Love the lace
I love this style the wig has lace and fits beautifully.
Looks good. Doesn't last too long
With proper care this wig will last between two and three week with daily use. I reorder on the average two times per month because I want a fresh look. Women like me want to look good every time they walk out of their door.

This Summer, Think Outside the Macaroni Box
Mix contrasting but complementary ingredients together and bind them with an oil-based dressing.

When you get down to it, potato salad really isn't that different from pasta salad, and egg salad is just an ingredient or two away from tuna salad.
Though tomatoes and basil are a must, feel free to vary the other vegetables in this no-bread panzanella.
Honey-Chicken Salad with Panzanella Di Farro (Tuscan bread salad with farro)
• 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
• Fine sea salt
• 1 large ear of corn, shucked
• 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
• 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/4 cups farro
• 1 large garlic clove
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Finely ground black pepper
• 1 small cucumber, peeled and sliced into half moons
• 1 cup packed basil leaves, large leaves torn
• 4 medium radishes, halved and very thinly sliced
• 3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. In a large serving bowl, toss together the tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
Cook the corn and the green beans together in the boiling water; after 3 minutes, using tongs, transfer the corn to a cutting board. Once cob is cool, cut off kernels.
Continue to cook the green beans until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Using tongs, transfer the beans to a colander to drain, pat dry, cut into 1-inch lengths, place in a medium bowl and reserve water.
Cook the farro in the boiling water that you used for the corn and beans, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 18 to 20 minutes.
While farro is cooking, slice the garlic clove on a cutting board, then mound the garlic together with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and using both the blade and the flat side of a chef's knife, chop and scrape the mixture into a paste. In a medium bowl, combine the oil and the vinegar. Add the garlic paste and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and vigorously whisk the dressing to combine.
Drain the farro, then spread it on a baking sheet set over a wire rack to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. When the farro is cool, whisk together the dressing and add it to the tomatoes, along with the farro, green beans, corn, cucumber, basil, radishes, scallions, 3/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss the salad to combine well.

Carrot Quinoa Salad with Orange Coriander Vinaigrette
For vinaigrette:
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1/4 cup Champagne or white wine vinegar
• 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 teaspoons coriander seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
For salad:
• 1 cup red quinoa
• 1 large carrot, sliced into thin ribbons with a mandoline
• 2 large carrots, cut into sticks and grilled or roasted
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Combine the orange zest, orange juice, Dijon mustard, honey and vinegar in a blender or with a whisk. Slowly stream in the olive oil to emulsify the vinaigrette.
In a saute pan, slowly toast the coriander seeds over low heat. Once the coriander seeds are toasted, set aside to cool. Once cool, crack the whole coriander seeds by using the bottom of a saute pan or pot. (You do not want them to be ground, just cracked.) Add coriander and salt to vinaigrette and refrigerate for four hours to develop the flavors.
While the vinaigrette is in the fridge, place quinoa and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine both the grilled and raw carrots, quinoa and cilantro, and toss with 1/3 cup vinaigrette, more if needed. (Salad should be lightly dressed, not soupy. ) Serves 4.
[ Adapted from a recipe by Camden Stuerzenberger ]
This summer, it's likely that you'll be serving or eating one of these lettuce-free salads, which all revolve around the same idea: mix contrasting but complementary ingredients together and bind them with an oil-based dressing.
Whether you are using mayonnaise or olive oil, chicken or salmon, tomatoes or apples, there is no perfect ratio to get you from your basic potato salad to, say, an elaborate rice salad with tuna, roasted red peppers and pimento-stuffed olives, but we hope to get you to think outside the macaroni box the next time you put together one of these popular side dishes.
Let's start with a traditional potato salad, which has four or five basic components: starch (potatoes), protein (hard-boiled egg), acid (pickles and mustard), crunch (onions and/or celery) and oil (mayo or sour cream). (Yes, sour cream and yogurt aren't oil-based, but they are often used in these kinds of salads to bind ingredients, so for our purposes, we'll categorize them as such.)
Swap pasta for the potatoes (starch), replace the pickles with some capers (acid), ditch the mayo for olive oil (oil) and leave out the eggs and onions (protein and crunch), and you have yourself a respectable pasta salad.
With tuna, shrimp, egg and chicken salads, you can take the same components — minus the starch — and then serve the final product on bread or with crackers.
Not all salads benefit from the addition of a sweet element, especially egg salad, but others aren't worth eating without it. The Waldorf salad, first created at its namesake hotel in New York in 1893, is perhaps the most famous crunchy, sweet and creamy salad, but cranberries are what put Whole Foods Market's tuna salad over the top for reader Kimberly Schneider.
"If it has something sweet, you have to balance with acid and salt," says Stephen Cash, a former Le Cordon Bleu instructor. "You have to make sure you are balancing all the elements."
When he makes these kinds of salads, he'll often keep the ingredients in separate bowls so he can visualize the components and proportions before mixing them all together.
Personal preference plays a huge role in how much of each ingredient you use, but in general, you don't want to overdo the extras or else the nuts, mayo, herbs, fruits or vegetables will outshine the main ingredient.
"Some people might like tuna salad mixed with nothing but mayo," he says. "But my fiancee, for instance, only wants the minimum amount of mayonnaise possible."
Grains (and grain-like pastas such as orzo and couscous) open a whole new world of possibilities, as long as you don't smother them in mayonnaise. Take tabbouleh, the Lebanese salad, which features the same contrast of colors and textures as a pasta salad, but is based on tomatoes, parsley and bulgur, an ancient grain considered healthier than traditional refined pasta. (Fresh herbs are excellent in these salads, just stay away from thyme, oregano and rosemary, which aren't quite tender enough in their raw state to blend in, Cash says.)
Panzanella is an example of just how far you can take this idea of a sweet, salty, crunchy salad bound with a dressing. Tomatoes and basil become the stars, instead of simply supporting crew members. And instead of using some kind of pasta, potato or grain for starch, toast bread and mix it directly in the salad, letting the olive oil and vinegar bring the dish together.
Southern Living Test Kitchen specialist Vanessa McNeil Rocchio loves the flexibility of these kinds of salads. In her new book, "Southern Living What's For Supper," she offers dozens of mix-and-match salads, many of which don't contain a single leaf of lettuce.
"People tend to overthink things," she says. If you don't like mayo, substitute low-fat sour cream instead. Don't have grapes on hand? Try peaches or even melon in your chicken salad. Have leftover grilled chicken or fish? Use that as a starting point for your salad and then find what you already have in the pantry or refrigerator to piece together the rest: a few pieces of red onion here, some roasted red bell peppers there, a handful of toasted pecans, a scoop of pesto, a squeeze of lemon juice, a piece of pita bread and you're looking at lunch.
Every Sunday throughout the summer, Rocchio makes three substantial salads that she and her family can eat throughout the week for snacks, lunches or a quick dinner.
Hers are bean-based (green bean salad, lentil salad and black bean salsa, which she uses as a hearty protein-filled dressing on traditional green leaf salads), but you could make whatever suits your family.
We should all be eating more greens, and some of these recipes taste especially good served on a bed of arugula or spinach, but it's nice to know that you can make an infinite number of salads without a single piece of romaine.

text: The current plan is that Java 1.4 or later will be required for j starting with version 0.20.0. (The next release, 0.19.0, to be released in the next week or two, will still support Java 1.3.) I'm not really sure there's anything much to discuss about this, but I do want to entertain any objections that folks might have. There are a number of concrete advantages in going to 1.4, including a built-in validating XML parser, which would mean that we would no longer have to bundle the obsolete version of Aelfred we currently use, which would make it possible to offer improved XML mode funtionality (including optional validation against a DTD). In addition, it would be possible to use APIs introduced in 1.4 without looking back. I'm not sure there are any real disadvantages, now that MacOS X finally has 1.4.1. (There might be some odd flavors of Unix that are limited to 1.3; I don't follow odd flavors of Unix very closely, so please let me know if your favorite platform is going to be shut out.) There were some performance issues on Windows with early releases of 1.4; Sun appears to have fixed these in 1.4.1_02. In any case, if you have issues with the decision to require 1.4, please bring them up now. Thanks for your support. -Peter

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Candy is being replaced with items like fruit, general merchandise and health and beauty care impulse items at some supermarket checkouts.

Because parents complained of their children's persistent requests for candy at the checkout, the retailer's flagship store here, located at 7600 Dr. Phillips Blvd., removed all candy from one register, according to a store employee.

> The thing about my old, old T3 is that it doesn't take much effort to
> drain the battery completely. Anyone have any ideas?
> --Max.
Three suggestions from a fellow T3 owner.
1. Backup your data to an SD card. There are a few programs which will do
this. My favourite is cardbackup http://www.jkware.com/CardBackup.php but
there are others which work just as well.
2. Get a new battery and install it. I own two t3s and have had to replace
the batteries on both of them. It takes about 20 minutes and it is not
hideously difficult. If you need detailed instructions on how to do it, just
ask on the newsgroup.
3. Buy lots of different chargers. The T3 is great, but battery life is not
a strong point. I carry a small mains charger, an in-car charger and a
battery extender (bought off ebay) using rechargeable AA batteries.

Threshold Jr
Threshold Jr happens most Wednesday nights for youth from grades 6 to 8. Our goal is to see students crossing the "threshold" into the extreme life. God's plan is not for youth to live just ordinary lives. The youth of this generation have the potential to accomplish great things for God. God is raising them up to no longer be content with just ordinary lives, but to move and lead others into the awesome plans that God has for them.
Threshold Jr is filled with all kinds of crazy events like eating things of unknown origin, game shows, and concerts. Most weeks we have the Threshold band lead us in a great time of praise and worship. We also divide into small groups on most Wednesday nights for part of the night. These are great ways for youth to get to know other youth better while they grow in their relationship with God. We are a growing group that is excited about what God is doing in the youth at Church of the Rock.
To receive a weekly email with what's happening, email firstname.lastname@example.com and state your name and grade so we can get you the right email.

first place i found was an oil change place called" Just Brakes" with a sandwich board out front saying $18.88 for an oil change. i removed my snapple, dog, cigarettes and my checkbook. and the mechanic drove it into the bay.
i left and took my dog on a 10 minute walk. this whole oil change and rip-off lasted at least an hour.
they charged me $29.00, and i hit the road after fueling up. 10 miles down the road, i noticed my lighter missing, along with my video camera. I called the police, and returned to albuquerque and filed a police report.
200 miles later in gallop, nm, i noticed they rifled through my things to find the exact charger that went with that camera, plus i noticed at least $30 in change missing.
finally, after 4 days of calling them, i recieved a call from chris castillo. he listened to my story and told me he would see if i can get my $29 back.
i'm not holding my breath. lesson learned...even at my old age of 56. next time, they'll have to pry me out of my car...they can change the oil while i'm in it, or i'll wait till i get home!

SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 05, 2013POSTED: Saturday, January 05, 2013
i don't think ten or fifteen dollars in change, in your pocket, driving down the freeway, would be very comfortable. plus i burned up over $15 in tolls the day before in oklahoma.
either way, they are thieves at "JUST BRAKES".

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going!" I encourage you to use that quote for inspiration in acquiring your weight loss and fitness goals! This works well with all aspects of your health improvement programs: nutrition, cardio respiratory endurance, resistance training, muscle endurance, strength, and flexibility! Each area is difficult in its own right, so being prepared mentally may be the determining factor in whether or not you follow through on your goals. Exercising a little mental focus, planning, and preparation will take your program a very long way, because it prompts you to make well-informed, positive choices that lead you down the right path.
Positive mental thoughts are necessary during our long days, hectic schedules, and unlimited stresses of life. Exercise tends to get lost in the shuffle, due to the "feeling" of fatigue, and this is absolutely normal. It has been my experience that many times this "feeling," and reason we don't get our recommended amount of exercise, is not always physical. Instead many times it is because we give ourselves a reason mentally not to exercise, by accepting the "thought" we don't need to improve our health today! This happens often, so please don't let this stop your progress. Of course be smart, do not exercise or use this principle if you are injured or have health risks. But if you feel healthy and nourished, have no ailments, but just don't feel like exercising, I challenge you to overcome! Overcome this! You can reach a little further toward your goals!
There are always many reasons that will prevent us mentally from doing what is best for us. I think those are called excuses! I heard someone once say there are no good excuses for not being on a program that keeps you healthy as you age, and I must say that I have to agree! Another good friend recently reminded me of another true saying, "If you fail to plan mentally, you might as well plan to fail."
Another neat example of mental toughness is the 4–minute mile psychological barrier. Runners were consistently achieving times of 4:03 and 4:01, but for the longest time, no one could run under 4 minutes. This had everyone under the perception or psychological barrier that this physically could not be done. Well, that was until a gentleman by the name of Roger Bannister believed it could be done, and he did it! And guess what, within 18 months, 16 other athletes surpassed the elusive 4-minute mile too! Please remember that staying mentally strong, believing in yourself, and sticking to your program that leads to your goals is so very important!
It all goes back to mentally setting your goals! If you have not done so for your health and fitness goals next year, now is a great time to do it! Decide what you really want regarding your health, then take the steps now to attain them. You can do this! Just set short-term, intermediate, and long-term goals for your programs. The short-term goals are important because they provide a focus and roadmap for your day-to-day activities. The intermediate goals are where you want to be at a specific time in the very near future, and are the catalysts that will ultimately get you to your dream goals! In my opinion, everyone deserves their dream goals when it comes to health, weight loss, and fitness. I'm going for mine; please challenge yourself to attain yours!
Page 2 of 2 - Until next week, keep up the great work, and please go out and make it a healthy and nutritious day!

No one could tell it was made without sugar. you might want to go a little lighter on the milk or heavier on the pumpkin. An A+ recipe.
is there any nutritional information for this recipe? calories? fat? fiber? protein? sugar?
diabetic type 2 - No insulin
I doubled it so I could use the entire can of pumpkin. I made the filling only (no crust) using almond milk (less fattening). A double recipe made 4 servings at only 3 Weight Watcher points each on the new PP program. It was delicious served with Cool Whip lite on top. Thanks!
We make this every year for Thanksgiving. My family has a lot of diabetics and everyone just eats it up!

Kim Kardashian's yoga session with nude man infuriates hubby Kris
Even though Kim keeps her clothes on, hubby Kris wasn't happy about her being in the company of a naked man. An upset Kris told the Daily Mail, "That is disgusting. This is my home. This is disrespectful."
A furious Kim blows back to her hubby by calling him "immature". In fact the fight turned so serious that Kris told Kim clearly that her sister, "Kourtney cannot live with us anymore. I will personally pay for her to have a room on a different floor."

My husband made this recipe, but used a premade graham cracker crust, instead of using the recipe. The cheesecake came out delicious! Next time we will use 2 premade crusts instead of 1 because we had a lot of the sour cream topping left over.
after having TGIFriday's cinn. cheesecake, I knew I needed to find a recipe. This is heavenly! I added the cinnamon into the cream cheese mixture, and instead of the sour cram topping, I drizzled it with powdered sugar frosting. Thanks so much for a great recipe, georgi!
This cheesecake was awesome. I took it to our church group meeting and everyone raved. I am on a diet and only cheat once a week and I had 2 peices of this wonderfully rich, delicous treat! Instead of putting the cinnamon on top of the cake I mixed it in with the topping. It was fantastic!

Chinchilla Melon Festival a draw card for Evie Fraser from Clayfield and Colby Wells from West End
- From: Quest Newspapers
- February 16, 2013
Eight-month-old Evie Fraser can't wait to get among the juicy fun at the upcoming Chinchilla Melon Festival this weekend.
Evie's mother Sarah said her bub would eat watermelon all day if she could.
Ms Fraser, of Clayfield, has never been to the melon festival and said she was looking forward to the family-friendly event.
"I think it's great to get out to the regional areas and experience what's happening out there,'' she said.
Chinchilla is expected to swell by 10,000 people this weekend, including West End's Colby Wells who also cannot wait to get to out in the bush.
Taking place all weekend, the biennial event has a range of festivities including melon skiing, melon ironman, pip-spitting championships, melon power-punching and melon eating competitions.
Ms Wells, 24, said after a season of watermelon picking in 2009 and attending that year's melon festival, she's excited to be heading back again this month.
"After the 2011 floods which affected Chinchilla, it's going to be a bigger and better festival this year,'' she said.Originally published as Brisbane crowds drawn to melon fest fun

I choose by monthly payment program and I had given them a void check for my account so that the can make a withdrew every month. I have sign a one year contract . I was using theirs facilities regularly for the first couple of months and then I was not that frequent but I keep paying them for one year period . After a year has passed I forgot all about it , but
I was noticing that they are still taking money from my account.
I phone them first and ask for that matter to be resolved , I was told that I have to cancel the membership and I have to do it in person.
When I came down to the office I was told that they wont cancel my membership because they have one payment missing (that took place after contract expired) and even if I was to cancel that I will still have to pay for one more month before they do that.
Now let me make that clear , my contract expired so I couldn't exercise any more, they took payments for 4 moths for free AND they refuse to cancel the membership so they can continue milking money out of me for nothing. But this is not verything , in a desperate steps then, I have blocked my account for them . This seem to work for sometime, they send me a note that they are canceling my membership ( couldn't make me more happy) and
they send me a bill to pay for almost 300$ unfortunately they didn't took measures to explain where did they came up with that money , of course I didn't pay them anything .
Things quiet down for about a year , and then suddenly I have noticed 200$ missing from my checking account . It was Super Fitness , on my request my bank put a stop payment on that withdrew and I got my money back, but It really freak me out.
I have to close my account immediately , opened another one , by the way a lady that was opening my account told me that she had the same story with Super Fitness , they have tried to steal money from her account even after she settled all the matter with them.
The things I have learned from this are:
never give out a void check , even if you put a stop payment on it they still can take out money by changing the amount and they can keep doing that until you close the account.
Read your contract very closely INCLUDING FINE PRINT ,
request time to think about that contract , take your time before you SIGN anything , they are many companies like Super Fitness that just waiting to scum people of theirs hard made money.
Spread the word !!!

MOULTONBOROUGH, N.H. (AP) � A committee that seeks to protect New Hampshire's loons says fewer birds hatched this year and of those, fewer survived.
Dr. Harry Vogel, senior biologist and executive director of the Loon Preservation Committee, tells WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/18cdZTR ) that 153 of the threatened birds hatched statewide this summer, down from 170 last year.
He says 115 survived, down from 134 in 2012.
Vogel says the adult population remained stable at 283 loon pairs. That number has been right around 280 for several years.
Committee staff observe the birds throughout the summer before the birds fly out to the ocean or go south for the winter.

When it came to the part of the contract about leaving Realty Executives, they said I would need to complete 6 deals with them before I could leave. If I were to leave, they would charge me a $2,000 contract break fee, but the lady says if I really wanted to leave, they would waive that because they don't want someone to be miserable (The verbage in the contract was pretty much CYA stuff). So, regardless, I signed up.
I started the program and upon completing, I told the instructors that they did not cover the materials that I had been promised to be covered. They told me that they did not cover the materials I was promised in the class (the a-z of transactions, other legal issues). I went out and found my own deals and between my first 2 deals I paid $14,000 in commission to Executive Launch (because they take a portion of your commission). During this time they also charge you a monthly fee of nearly $500 per month.
When things started to slow down I asked for leads and that was yet another promise that was not delivered. When I was fed up with the lies and not getting any help when I would call (my messages were never returned, and my emails would go days without a response), I decided I wanted to switch companies (in case Realty Executives hasn't noticed, they charge enormous fee's and agents are leaving left and right). When I switched brokerages, they sent me a bill for $2,000 to break the contract.
If you are thinking of joining Executive Launch - DON'T.... It is a ripoff. You will NEVER make any money because you pay it all to them. Given the bad real estate market, you would think that they would change their fee's to help the agents, but they wont. Realty Executives doesn't care about it's agents! Over the course of the program, you will pay 25,000 dollars before you are out of the program. Join a firm that offers free training.

I have never had an account with Juno or any other United Online affiliate. I looked up juno's customer service number from their website. After being shuffled around for 45min on their customer service line (888-839-5866), I was told that someone opened up an account in my name five months ago and there was nothing I could do but write to the PO box in the notice.
They refused to connect me to anyone at the "united online collections division", and told me that it was impossible for me to contact anyone at that division via phone or email.
Now I will send them a letter via snail mail, but will have absolutely no proof that they received the communication without paying for signature confirmation. Ugh...

THE 2000 CAMPAIGN: THE GUN ISSUE; Bush Stand Is Used to Turn Election Into a Showdown
By JIM YARDLEY
Published: August 7, 2000
AUSTIN, Tex.— One expectation of anyone running for governor of Texas is that he or she must grab a gun and shoot something. So in 1994, George W. Bush, then the Republican candidate for governor, borrowed a 20-gauge shotgun and invited a group of reporters on a dove hunt.
In the dawn mist, Mr. Bush fired seven times, bagged a bird for the cameras, and then left to continue campaigning. But the dead bird turned out to be a killdeer, a protected species, and a photo opportunity meant to underscore Mr. Bush's kinship with gun owners instead became an embarrassment, as he paid a small fine and apologized.
Yet in the eyes of gun owners in Texas and national gun-lobbying groups like the National Rifle Association, Mr. Bush's illegal shot was the last mistake he has made. The N.R.A.'s chief lobbyist in Washington, James Jay Baker, could not recall a single instance in which Mr. Bush, as governor, had opposed the group. ''Not that I can remember,'' Mr. Baker said.
Governor Bush's record has been decidedly sympathetic to gun owners. He has signed far-reaching pro-gun legislation, including a 1995 law making it legal to carry concealed weapons, an expansion of that law in 1997, and a 1999 law making it extremely difficult for cities to sue gun manufacturers. One national survey by a gun-control group found that only three states -- Louisiana, Arkansas and Maine -- had looser gun laws than Texas.
This stance has earned Mr. Bush many admirers in Texas, where guns are entwined in the culture. But it has also galvanized his opponents in this presidential campaign, from gun-control groups to Vice President Al Gore, who have eagerly tried to cast Mr. Bush as a willing pawn of the gun lobby.
Both Mr. Bush and Mr. Gore are using the gun issue to pursue broader themes of attack. Mr. Gore has cited Mr. Bush's pro-gun record to try to marry the Texas governor to his party's right wing, and, in contrast, has offered a string of gun-control proposals. Mr. Bush's aides, noting that Mr. Gore once opposed gun control, only to change his position, have used the issue as part of their effort to depict Mr. Gore as opportunistic.
Both the rifle association and the leading gun-control group, Handgun Control Inc., are treating this election as historic. Handgun Control ran commercials attacking Mr. Bush during the Republican National Convention and will continue to do so. Mr. Baker, who said the N.R.A. would spend $15 million in this year's election campaigns, said the candidates' divergent views on guns made this presidential race the most important in 20 years.
The governor's supporters say he has put Texas in the national mainstream with the 30 other states that have similar laws allowing the carrying of concealed weapons. But his critics note that several other Republican governors, including George Ryan in Illinois and George E. Pataki in New York, have pushed for stronger gun laws. Mr. Bush supports better enforcement of existing laws, as does the rifle association.
''There hasn't been a Texas governor that compares to Bush in carrying water for the N.R.A.,'' said Nina Butts, president of Texans Against Gun Violence, a gun-control group.
In February, a high-ranking N.R.A. official was videotaped telling supporters that in a Bush presidency, ''we work out of their office.'' The official said the association and Mr. Bush would have ''unbelievably friendly relations.''
Mr. Bush bristled at that remark and has sought to signal his independence from the association by endorsing ideas that include background checks on the buyers of firearms at gun shows and raising the minimum age for buying handguns to 21 from 18. This spring, when the Million Mom March on Washington was held in support of gun control, Mr. Bush announced that he would spend $1 million a year of state money to to hand out free trigger locks to handgun owners. He said that if elected president, he would support a similar national program.
But critics note that Mr. Bush declined to put his clout behind gun-show background checks in Texas even though he is now supporting them nationally.
Texas residents recall that Mr. Bush ran for governor on four issues in 1994 -- juvenile justice, tort changes, and overhauling education and welfare. But guns were also an issue. The incumbent Democrat, Ann Richards, had vetoed a 1993 bill to permit a statewide referendum on allowing Texans to carry concealed weapons. Mr. Bush pledged to sign such a bill, and gun lobbyists now say the issue was crucial to his victory.
In 1995 the Legislature again passed a concealed-weapons bill. Many law enforcement agencies, including the Texas Association of Police Chiefs, opposed the bill, but Mr. Bush, as he had promised, signed it into law. The law, which did not require a referendum, allows residents to carry hidden weapons if they undergo a background check and 10 to 15 hours of training. Two years later, Mr. Bush signed an amendment that allowed people to carry concealed weapons into previously excluded institutions, including churches, nursing homes and hospitals, unless those institutions expressly prohibited it.
The bill's supporters were pleased, but if they regard Mr. Bush as an ally, they do not consider him a soul mate.
