I love this pie! It is so refreshing and strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tart I would recommend to NOT store it in the freezer though. After the initial set time, move the pie to the fridge so you can cut slices and just keep the whole thing wrapped / covered for leftovers. If you use a springform pan as recommended, the pie juices could potentially drip out into your freezer - to combat this mess, I would recommend not using a springform pan or wrapping the bottom in foil while setting. It's best with fresh berries, but frozen works well too. I have made this pie a few times and the best iteration was a blend of fresh blackberries, strawberries and blueberries - I had some berries in the fridge at the end of the week tending just slightly to overripe, so I thought of this recipe, and tossed them all in at the blending stage - perfection! This is a great ending to any summer meal - a recipe I will make / keep on hand again and again; Enjoy!

According to a recent poll, most single Japanese women would prefer not to marry and think they would be happy living alone for the rest of their life.
While the newspaper that did the poll, the Yomiuri, noted that the results reflect "a recent trend among single women who no longer attach social stigma to choosing the single life," they didn't necessarily think this was such great news.
Japan's government is struggling to stem a tumbling birthrate and keep the population from shrinking…
"The result depicted a tendency among younger generations to remain single, leading observers to the conclusion that the number of people who marry late will further increase and will lower the birthrate," the newspaper said.
So ladies, I know you're happy being alone, but screw you! The world needs populating; get to it!

Hey, I can dig it for a government to be concerned with tumbling birth rates. It needs taxes, it's all cool. But bloody hell, when will they learn that you can't FORCE people to breed. You stimulate birthing environment by creating optimal conditions for families to raise their kids in.
In USSR (and I'm sorry I keep bringing it up, I don't mean to sound like a communist propaganda, but we did have some good things), after WWII, when the country needed to rebuild the population, the government had free government-operated daycare from 2 year olds through 6. The schools all had free after care where a separate special teacher would help with homework, so tired parents could come home and enjoy their time with their kids vs. tackling math and grammar. The mothers (and fathers) could stay home with their sick kids for almost any time as long as they provided a note from the doctor (healthcare being free, as well). The colleges were – yep, here I go again, free, with students getting paid a stipend that could be lived on, and provided with free dorms. That's how you bloody foster population growth.
Just a thought.
Has it occurred to anyone that marriage has become passe? It is no longer a necessary institution as it once was. Look at how much the world has changed. Back in the day, a man needed a woman to reer and raise his family and keep the household running. A woman needed a man for financial stability and to avoid social stigma.
Today, most men I know cook, which I can't say for most young ladies I know. And the conveniences of dishwashers, washing machines, indoor plumbing and microwaves, not to mention the swiffer (thank god), has made it easy for one to handle his own domestic chores with little to no back-breaking work.
And women have more opportunities now in the education system as well as the corporate world than they ever did before and can support themselves quite well. The social stigma of an unmarried woman is virtually gone. So what do men and women need each for today? Not a damn thing. Women can even choose to procreate without the aid of a man. It's good news for all of us. That's why it is time to ban marriage as a government-recognized institution. If fools still want to marry for "love," let the churches or Vegas profit from it, but keep the government out of it.
Finally. A population of single women who are unapologetic and proud to be single, know they can be happy and single at the same time, aren't desperately chasing after men in order to be "self-fulfilled and validated as a woman", and aren't caving into their government's attempt to make them nothing more than breeding stock.
And Shawn, I could not have said it better myself. Kudos. But a marriage ban, on all marriage? Well, uh,…well it wouldn't bother me. I'm sure it would bother others, but hey, we'll always have Vegas. That's why we have Vegas.
And personally, I don't understand why a couple needs their commitment to one another validated and "recognized" by the government or a religion. You love each other, you know you're committed to one another…so why would you need government officials and members of the clergy to give it a "seel of approval"? Of course, that's just my opinion, others would and do disagree. But hey, whatever floats you and your partner's boat….
"You love each other, you know you're committed to one another…so why would you need government officials and members of the clergy to give it a "seel of approval"?"
Well said. While I am an admitted conservative in many ways, I have lost sight of why the government, in particular, has to stick its nose into the private relationships of its citizenry. The basic reason is to bring "justice" into the situation if there is a split. Unfortunately, the government's idea of justice in a divorce is not based on the idea of a legal contract. The marriage contract is the poorest example of contract law because it considers no penalties or breach issues. But that is another topic for another time.
I would also be leary of cohabitation at this point. More and more laws are being put on the books in different states or are being set by precedent that dictate how cohabitation would end. In short, you will soon have to have a divorce for living together. In fact, many family law firms are starting to really push the idea of "living together" contracts. These are mostly set up for people to protect themselves and their interests. Keep in mind, if you are the monied partner in a cohabitory relationship and you split up, in many states, the nonmonied partner can sue you for palimony and only needs to establish evidence of an "implied" contract for the court to order the award. Male or female, its always the one with the money who gets screwed.
So, yes, a ban on all government-recognized marriages is what I propose. It seems to me we may be evolving there on our own. The marriage rate in the U.S. has decreased 10-fold between 1960 and 2000 (U.S. Census). A study by Rutgers also showed that young men are far less likely to propose marriage now than ever before. Staying single really is the way to go, and I'm glad to see both sexes are finally coming to this realization. IMO, a cohabitory or marital relationship should now be approached as a financial issue, almost like a corporate merger. Can you mutually benefit from the arrangement? If not, in today's environment where marriage and divorce are more easily attained than escaping a bad cell phone contract, individuals will be better served to protect their assets and not allow their emotions to get the better of them.
Last time I checked there were still lots of people on this planet. If they're really concerned about keeping their population up, they could let more people immigrate instead of telling women they need to breed.
Trish Wilson's got a pretty good but short entry on this.
Wouldn't it be an interesting world if there were no marriage?
Most folks take marriage as a mandatory social construct — many think they essentially have no choice, except to remain alone. But most people enter their relationships assuming that "marriage" means the same thing to everyone.
I would love to see what happened if people had to separately negotiate their expectations and contributions to the relationship when they commenced it. Not just the money, of course!
What if people had to separately negotiate the terms of their sexual relationship — any commitment to exclusivity, for example; their roles in keeping their living space, like cleaning, routine maintenance and renovations; their roles in childbearing and childcare.
I think if people started sitting down to work these things out, they would be shocked how much the two partners took for granted — and how different their preconceived notions were.
I was also reading a study not long ago about Japanese women that were returning to Japan after attending high school and college in the States and were refusing to date Japanese men, particularly those men that had stayed and come to adulthood in Japan.
The reasons given were that in the US they had learnt independence as women and a semblence of egalitarianism, and simply weren't prepared to take what they saw as a step back to the traditional roles for women in Japanese society; those that they were being expected of them by these men.
I have to wonder if these aren't related.
Now, as to the governmental recognition of marriage. Personally I agree with the others above that stated that the government should stay out of the recognition of marriage. However, while it IS involved, I am going to fight my heart out to get the same government benefits for my relationships that straight get.

First Half Run Propels Messiah To 70-45 Win Over PSU Harrisburg
Posted: 11/26/2011
Box Score | More Women's Basketball news
Grantham, PA – Perhaps it was all that Thanksgiving Day turkery that contributed to Messiah and PSU Harrisburg combining for 55 turnovers. Either way, it was the Falcons who proved still hungry enough, as they moved to 3-1 on the season with a 70-45 victory over the visiting Nittany Lions on Saturday.
After falling behind 7-6 just five minutes in to the game, Messiah ran off a 32-11 advantage to end the first half and set the course to their third win of the year.
The game, mostly in the Falcons' control as they pulled away in the first half, featured 30 turnovers from the visitors and 25 more from the hosts- a sloppy performance in an otherwise well-played game for Messiah.
"The turnover amount was way too high," said Messiah head coach Mike Miller. "I told the team afterwards that we need to cut down on the total. Otherwise, I thought we executed effectively and handled their defense well."
Miller's estimate was accurate, as Messiah responded to PSU's early defensive pressure to turn a 7-6 deficit into a 38-18 halftime lead. In the center of the Falcons' turnaround was junior Kira Maier, who scored 16 of her game-high 18 points in the first half. Fourteen of her points came in the final 15 minutes heading into halftime.
"Kira really put the ball in the basket tonight, she was great for us," said Miller, as Maier was the only Falcon in double-figures in the first half.
"I thought the first half run was big for us," he added. "They were playing aggressive, and they were quick. We responded well."
Now with a 38-18 lead, Messiah continued to pull away. Three consecutive Messiah layups starting from the 13:55 mark in the second half gave Messiah it's largest lead- 52-25 with just over 12:00 to play. The final layup in that sequence was a part of a three-point play by sophomore guard Chelsea Danel, who raced down the court for the score after a steal at half-court.
"Chelsea was really good tonight," said Miller, who also pointed out the strong play of junior Dori Gyori. "She kept us going offensively in the second half, but she did a number of good things from start to finish."
Danel finished with 10 points on 3-7 shooting, collecting six rebounds and four steals. Gyori joined Maier and Danel in double-figure scoring, totaling 16 points while collecting nine rebounds and four steals of her own. Maier's 18 points came on 8-11 shooting from the field.
PSU's Daril Foose led the Nittany Lions in scoring with 10 points. Amanda Moyer collected 10 rebounds.
The Falcons shot 46% from the field, while holding PSU Harrisburg to just 32% from the floor. Messiah also outrebounded their opponent 42-32.
"(PSU) had some quick guards, and they played with good athleticism," said Miller. "I thought we were good at reacting to that and creating opportunities for ourselves to be effective."
With the win, Messiah moves to 3-1 on the season. PSU Harrisburg drops to 2-3.
The Falcons next play on Wednesday, November 30, when they travel to rival Lebanon Valley College to start their Commonwealth Conference schedule. Game time is set for 6:00 p.m.

Kik is a solid chat app with fun extras, but if you don't already have friends using it, there's nothing to really set it apart from the competition.
Pricing not available
The 4-year-old company is now letting people visit any Web site without leaving the app.
Kids love Kik because they don't have to give out their phone number, CEO and founder Ted Livingston tells CNET.
The messaging app, which now has 50 million users in total, is rolling out new versions for both Android and iOS.
A popular messaging app tries to up the competition by adding a way to share videos, drawings you create, and more.
Text messaging service Kik finds a way to bring its app to BlackBerry phones despite an ongoing legal battle with Research In Motion.
We'll show you Kik, GroupMe, and Beluga for iOS and Android phones so you can make your Blackberry Messenger friends jealous.
Private messaging isn't so private, say University of New Haven researchers who found Android apps transmitting and storing unencrypted images, chats, screenshots and even passwords.
If you need to keep your conversations discreet, or just want an extra layer of privacy, Wiper for Android and iOS can help out.

Japan-based messaging and VoIP calling service Line hopes the cute Sanrio character will entice US users to check out its mobile messaging app.

the greeblies I have for my ESB blaster are incorrect and are missing the details in the middle greeblie. anybody have any extras or point me in the right direction? thanks!
Ummm... you mean the ESB EE-3?
Post a pic of what you have now... the gang will chime in, guaranteed.
I sell this piece..its fairly accurate...not dead on, but very close. This one is a B grade..but i can cast you a new one. $3 shipped
Looks like my v1 center piece
Attachment 72840
Now now...dont jump to conclusions sixxgunn13! :)
I made these with sheet ABS. What a pain in the butt! i sat there for about 3 hrs cutting every little piece of ABS to assemble this. Its close, but not as nice as yours. I never actually saw your V1..i just know the current one you offer now. I used Fettsevens drawings and that 1 pic where you can see it well to construct this.
I believe you. I mean, it looks like the first one I scratch built. I dont even have those molds anymore. Actually, fettdad has it I think. My V2 was done in cad using zoomed in screen shots. I could probably redo it again, but alas, im stuck scratch building new mounts out of signboard.
I figured thats what ya meant, but i had a feeling that post may have been misconstrued, so i just made it more obvious that i didnt do such a thing. I just wanted to make one so i could sell complete greeblie sets instead of just the AM plugs :)
Heh i was gonna make barrel mounts myself from ABS sheet for that secondary EE-3 im building for myself...but i got lazy lol i had my old cracked rear one that you replced for me on my good blaster, so i just got the front one and trigger from ya and called it a day. I think between the random/unknown maker webley casting i got from Brail kahn, what i had left, and you and sidewinder..i goit everything i need i think. My primary blaster is so nice with so many found parts on it, im getting nervous trooping it, so im building this one with all cast parts and no actual found parts, except the flashtube lol
anyways, back on track...my offer remains for that center greeblie bunicula. Or you can get SR's..its more accurate, and the closest ive seen yet to what we can see.
The real question to ask someone is which AM plug ends do they have. There are large and small ones. Art Andrews gave me use of his AM plugs. It is smaller than what most people have gotten from ebay, etc.
My first center greeble, which may have inspired the drawing for all i know, is too big to go with the acurate plug ends I have, which is why I made the second one in cad and had it printed.
My new mounts will be nice. Ill send you one. :0
kewl thanks! I thought your old ones were nice :)
I sized my center greeblie based off of yours and then just made all the lil pieces to put in it.
The found part AM plugs I have I got from bojagun..bobajun...i believe he still offers them. They are the smaller ones. I did notice they are different from sidewinders though. The female holes on them (the ones that Connect when you fold it in half)...on mine they are just holes on sidewinders they seem to have ring around them. I don't think I have any of yours to compare that aspect...but size wise they are the same. I used to have the bigger ones till I got these. they are actually on my SR blaster (the real ones)

Barbara Fyles, originally published in her "The Doctors Wife" column
AT LAST: A Simple Fat Loss Solution that really works for people who've had enough disappointment ... people who are tired of the half-truths peddled by the diet industry ... and people who are just fed up with all the temporary solutions out there!
WE PROMISE YOU: Within hours you'll notice a HUGE change in your attitude towards food ... within days, a MASSIVE impact on your calorie and fat intake ... and within 4 weeks, a PERMANENT drop in your dress size!
You're about to discover probably the most responsible, highly effective, natural, and simple weight loss system ever devised. More and more people including celebrities, rock stars and even royalty, are realising that the ONLY way to lose weight permanently, is to reprogramme their mind and body so they naturally take in EXACTLY the right amount of energy their body actually needs.
Now, Ali Campbell, professional therapist, master of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and highly successful celebrity life coach has developed a unique 100% guaranteed system that automatically regulates your food and fat intake so you can simply become slim and your body will naturally compensate for any over indulgence ... and the best part is, it is a truely diet free solution!
Whether you want to finally end your 'Yo-Yo dieting', whether you've tried and failed with every other weight loss product on the market or you simply can't say no to a cream cake ... then this new system is exactly what you've been looking for!
If you're truly serious about losing weight safely, permanently and without the need for diet pills, food supplements, restricted eating plans or any other temporary gimmicks (... and especially if you just can't seem to budge those stubborn fat deposits from your hips, thighs or derriere) ... then make sure you read every word on this webpage.
"I weighed myself on the 23rd of August, the day I ordered my box. Now, on the 21st of Sept, I've lost 17 and a half pounds in weight!!!!!"
Why these revolutionary new techniques are different from anything you've ever seen before ...
Journalist Emma Robertson tested the system out independently and wrote on MSN:
"... my self-esteem and energy crept-up while cravings for comfort food began to evaporate. I tested my resolution by tempting my tastebuds with my favourite chocolate - but when it came to the crunch I didn't enjoy the taste and I chucked it in the bin...
... These days, if I feel the cravings sneak-up, I simply trance-out on-demand which puts me back on track and is far easier to maintain longterm than any fad diet I've tried in the past. For the first time ever, I finally feel in control around food, instead of it controlling me."
With the diet industry worth billions of pounds annually it's hardly surprising there are so many companies competing for a 'slice of the cake' so to speak. And while some programmes are sold with good intentions, the vast majority are deliberately designed to keep you coming back for more ... thriving off your failure ... and then feeding you more of their temporary 'fix' to keep the profits coming in.
It's a dirty secret of the weight loss industry and it's especially true of many food supplement companies ... diet pill/weight loss drug providers ... and even most eating plans!
FACT - Even if you did fantastically well and went down 70lbs using a conventional diet or appetite suppressing drugs, unless you address the underlying cause of your overeating or weight 'problem', you will NEVER get rid of that excess body fat permanently ... you'll continue to have an ENDLESS struggle with guilt, failure and constant 'Yo-Yo' dieting ...
Think of it like this ...
Any diet is only a short term 'fix' with possible long term health implications.
But now, Ali Campbell, master of Neuro-Linguistic programming (NLP) and one of the world's leading professional therapists (... with a client list including celebrities, rock stars and even royalty) has spent years studying the unconscious psychological behaviours of thousands of naturally slim people and how they regulate their food and drink intake.
And as a former professional athlete with first hand experience of the effort (... and misery) of trying to follow a strict and often unnatural eating regime in order to maintain an ideal body weight, there is no-one better to understand the psychological reasons why people overeat in the first place.
But after seeing countless members of his client list being ripped off time after time with various diet and eating plans, appetite suppressing drugs and impossible exercise programmes, let alone the stresses and anguish they were causing, he decided to do something about it.
Which is why his incredible new weight loss system treats the problem completely differently and goes much further than anything else available - it gets right to the heart of the issue ... literally changing the way you think about food forever ... finally 'curing' you of overeating ... and solving your underlying 'weight problem' permanently!
Of course, you can still enjoy all your favourite foods and really relish mealtimes BUT you will automatically stop eating when you have taken in sufficient calories ... and should you 'force' yourself to overindulge you'll easily and swiftly compensate the next day.
If you've tried and failed with all the fad diets, the pills, the low carbs/low fat eating plans and you're as heavy now (or heavier) than when you started ... then this programme is exactly what you've been looking for.
Some facts for you -
Practically everyone who goes on a diet to lose weight is wasting their time, effort, energy and money, especially in the longer term. In fact, dieting to lose weight can even have severe health implications and it can certainly damage your metabolism - your body's natural fat burning 'engine' that needs to be fuelled correctly throughout the day ...
Low calorie plans just don't work. Certainly not for long anyway. Starving yourself of the calories your body needs will ruin all chances of losing weight for good because your metabolism adjusts and slows down as you reach the dreaded 'dieting plateau' ... that awful moment when your body starts to actually use less calories in order to survive on the tiny amount you're taking in.
Not only do you stop losing fat but other things suffer instead ... many people report being continually cold and listless, a slowing of their hair and nail growth or even their hair falling out!
But the worst part is, even when low calorie diets fail and the 'victims' return to their old eating habits, their metabolism never seems to recover without drastic and massive exercise.
Which means because your body uses less calories than it used to, you will gain weight more easily than before ... consequently piling on the pounds you've lost, plus some extra besides.
But it gets worse ...
Research shows that for every 14lbs of weight you lose like this ... around 4lbs of it will be water ... around 3lbs lean muscle tissue ... and around 7lbs will be fat ...
Come off the diet however and you'll almost certainly regain the 4lbs of water BUT also around 10lbs of fat! The lean muscle tissue will have gone for good (... unless you get back in the gym and build it up). In other words ...
What about low carb diets? Well they can work in the short term but they're so difficult to follow for most people and more importantly they'll zap your energy levels because carbohydrates are one of the main sources of energy in the first place. Not only that, in some cases you must cut out carbs completely and even one slip can negate all the effort you've put in previously.
It's almost impossible to remain on this type of diet for long because they're just plain impractical. If you're not sure about this, imagine trying to live for any length of time without bread, fruit, alcohol, potatoes, cereal, sugar, etc ... (and yes, low carb diets do make you miserable as well)!
It's the same with low fat diets! Nearly everyone nowadays is aware of the fat in their foods and more and more people are going for the 'low fat' option. So why are more and more people becoming obese?
The truth is, we need a certain amount of fat in what we eat ... and not eating any doesn't mean that we can't gain any weight because our bodies manufacture fat from everything else that we eat. Let's face it, there's not a whole lot of fat in beer and wine but drink enough of either and you will soon see your weight soar.
Many of these work by suppressing your appetite or making you feel like you're full up,whilst some of the latest generation diet drugs work by stopping your body from absorbing some of the fat from the food you do eat.
Stopping your body from absorbing fat sounds ideal but the problem with this approach is that we NEED to eat certain fats to remain healthy and these 'drugs' don't differentiate ... AND when you read the small print it turns out that you still need to go on a low calorie and low fat diet - in fact if you don't, the effect on normally healthy body functions can be disastrously unpleasant and messy.
As for pills, supplements or anything artificial designed to make you believe you're full - you may expect to have nasty side effects and maybe even severe health implications ... do you think the companies supplying them to you (often unregulated back street or third world operations, making Multi-Millions of Pounds in profits) care about your health and well being?
Of course exercise is a good thing. No-one in their right mind would deny that but it's a myth that you can only get thin by spending hours sweating in the gym.
In fact in some cases, strenuous exercise on it's own can cause you to put more weight on because you need more calories to sustain your body's energy requirements. But without the right attitude and relationship to food you can end up overeating to compensate ... and yes that often involves 'nibbling' or grabbing a chocolate bar to give you that instant energy boost!
FACT - When you eat more calories than your body actually needs, your body stores the excess as fat in places you don't want it. It's not your fault but it IS the reason.
The typical way that most people try to lose weight is to 'go on on a diet' which involves artificially controlling their calorie intake, in opposition with their instinctive desires and usually also eating at set times throughout the day. Unfortunately this is effectively over-riding your body's natural signals to eat when it needs to. And by not listening to these signals, your body goes into automatic survival mode, manufacturing and grabbing every bit of fat it can from the food you do eat and storing it for later.
But it's no use trying to fight what happens naturally ...
Your body is far too sophisticated for ordinary dieting to ever work for long and although obesity is a relatively recent ailment, you can't overcome a metabolic and psychological system that has taken millions of years to evolve ...
If you want to lose weight permanently you simply need to work with your body's inbuilt signals and programming, not against it.
There was a system that just helped you regulate what you eat? What if there was something that would enable you to become one of those people who seemingly eat whatever they want without ever putting on weight? ...
There was a system that was completely different from anything you've seen before that would enable you to drop at least two dress sizes in the next 28 days ... and then lose as much fat as you want, thereafter maintaining your ideal weight?
Too good to be true? Heard it all before? Actually not ... now you can forget all the other temporary solutions that you've tried in the past and prepare to discover the PROVEN permanent solution that, until now, has only been available to the rich, famous and well connected ...
Of course some people who have struggled with their weight for what feels like 'forever' may be nervous of accepting this, but this is exactly what this new system can do for you ... and it has absolutely nothing to do with dieting or going to the gym.
Instead, this process involves naturally changing certain elements of your psychological make up so that your body only takes in just the right amount of calories and fat to maintain your perfect weight and shape.
The revolutionary new 'Slim Girl's Box of Secrets' is the result of many years of studying why some people seem to be able to eat whatever they want without getting fat whilst many others appear to eat less but struggle with weight issues all their lives. It contains everything you'll ever need to enable your body to melt away fat permanently without dieting, drugs, impractical eating regimes, strenuous exercise or anything artificial at all...
It's the way you react to food, especially 'addictive' foods like chocolate, crisps, biscuits, cakes, bread and alcohol. Let's face it, very few people overindulge in salads, but don't worry, we're not suggesting you have to start living on lettuce and tomatoes!
One of the things this system will do is modify your reaction to those 'addictive' or 'trigger' foods so that you can still enjoy them whenever you like ... you'll simply find yourself eating more modest portions, less often, without you consciously having to think about it or make any effort at all.
IMAGINE IF you could open a bar of chocolate and not 'have to' eat the whole bar ... or just take one scoop of your favourite ice cream and put the pot away ... or leave the remainder of the bag of chips when you know you've had enough ...
Remember what journalist Emma Robertson said: "I tested my resolution by tempting my tastebuds with my favourite chocolate - but when it came to the crunch I didn't enjoy the taste and I chucked it in the bin..." Read the full article
Now imagine that a friend arrives with a bag of doughnuts (cream cakes, biscuits, or whatever) and nothing happens. No craving, no wanting, no desire, you don't have to help her eat them all!
Or how about you no longer feel that you 'have to clear your plate'? Instead, you will stop eating when you know you've had enough and not feel any guilt ... nor will you have those awful feelings that you've wasted food ... let's be honest, whether you put the fat in the bin or on your waist, if you didn't need it, it's still wasted!
WHAT IF your brain just ignored any unhelpful cravings or desires and produced NO chemical or electrical reaction that made you want to eat when you don't need to?
AND WHAT IF 'snacking' was fine and you could eat as often as you want, maybe even six or seven smaller meals spaced throughout the day to keep your energy levels up, if you want to ... and you were NEVER hungry?
It's incredibly powerful yet that's just the start of what this amazing new programme can do for you ...
|"Quite simply, diets don't work - it is our brain which controls our eating, not our stomach.
The permanent solution lies not in any diet but in modifying the signals from the brain and our reaction to them.
This is the 'key secret' to the seemingly impossible goal of losing weight and keeping it off.
For any weight loss programme to succeed, it is imperative that it provides a means of reducing the appetite drive, rather than artificially limiting food intake – otherwise the subject will simply regain the weight soon after they cease adhering to the restrictive regime.
This approach is revolutionary and it is the only approach that is guaranteed to be successful long term."
Consciously skipping meals, avoiding snacks, and severely restricting your calorie intake are actually the primary reasons that most diets fail. Nature intended us to eat when we are hungry, NOT at set times through the day. Whoever said you have to eat breakfast, lunch and an evening meal for a healthy balanced lifestyle? It's up to your body to send an impulse to your mind when you need to eat ... and just how much.
Once you begin using the PROVEN 'Slim Girl's Box of Secrets' system you will be able to eat what you want, when you want to eat it ... your subconscious mind will still let you know when you're hungry but you will no longer want to eat just because you 'fancy' something!
The 'Slim Girl's Box of Secrets' is not just about losing weight permanently, it's a complete system that will change the way your body looks ... a system that will enable you to make the very best of every one of your assets ... and ultimately a system that will give you a whole new confidence in yourself and everything you do ...
After trying just about everything else and failing miserably Pat was on the verge of giving up. But now, after using these techniques, she's not only lost the weight, but she's also kept it off!
Using unique, simple and proven psychological triggers she has naturally remapped the way her subconscious mind makes her behave towards food ... which means she no longer feels the desire to overeat and the weight she'd been carrying for years just fell away.
Stories like these aren't one offs either. We have countless stories from people who are finally discovering that the ONLY way to lose weight for good is to change their subconscious behaviours which cause them to either crave certain foods or overindulge once they start eating. But that doesn't mean not enjoying a slice of cake, another piece of chocolate or any other of life's little treats ...
In fact with this system you can eat virtually anything you like, whenever you like ... you just won't WANT to eat so much of it that's all!
You can finally take control of your life and start living without guilt, the need for willpower or any other destructive thoughts and feelings that are ruining your chances of success.

An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural
Introduction | "R" Reading | Curse of the Pharaoh | End-of-the-World Prophecies
Index | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | Y | Z
Theosophy Formed from the Greek words theos meaning "god" and sophia meaning "wisdom." The religion founded in 1875 by H. P. Blavatsky teaching that matter, spirit, and consciousness are the basis for the universe and the individual. Borrowing from the kabala and Indian religious ideas, Theosophy rails at Christianity and most other organized religions and invokes images of secret societies, "Tibetan Masters," "lost" Indian philosophy, and "ancient wisdom." Madame Blavatsky was constantly being visited by astral beings and other spirits who imparted to her the rules of the religion. Astrology, clairvoyance, and other powers are not only automatically accepted in Theosophy, but are important factors in its dogma.

You need 781 expertise rating to prevent dodges. (AKA the soft expertise cap)
You're expecting tanks to waste 1742 points' worth of rating on a stat that isn't nearly as important, when a tank pulling 10k DPS can easily out-threat a DPS pulling 50k DPS.
Did you read the article at all, or are you just trolling?

Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne is inviting city attorneys to an April 29 meeting to discuss legal questions surrounding city-approved civil unions.
Bisbee on April 2 approved an ordinance authorizing civil unions, but the City Council has since put the local law on hold pending a review and possible changes.
The council acted after Horne threatened the southern Arizona city with a lawsuit.
He said some aspects of Bisbee's ordinance conflict with state law and that residents could be misled about the legal meaning of a city-certified civil union.
Horne says he wants to guide city attorneys on what cities can legally do and not do.
A Tempe City Council member has said he will propose approval of civil unions in that Maricopa County community.

Clean up to result in Christmas trees, biofuel
By Jessica Tuggle
SEBASTIAN -- Scrub jays, Christmas and clean energy don't normally go together in a conversation, except when you're talking with Jane Schnee of Sebastian.
Ms. Schnee owns a 10-acre parcel on Barber Street in Sebastian, about half a mile west of U.S. 1, across from Park Place. Her property is home to endangered scrub jays.
Volunteers are needed to help improve the scrub jay habitat for the birds by cutting down surplus sand and slash pines.
The pine needles dropped from the pine trees cover the soft, white "sugar" sand scrub jays use to hide food for the winter, Ms. Schnee said.
The trees also have a tendency to grow very tall, more than 8 feet, giving scrub jay predators, such as hawks, a better perch to swoop down and grab them, she said.
There are two options for the trees once they are cut down: they can be used as small Christmas trees or they can be gathered at a central area and given to the Indian River BioEnergy Center in Vero Beach to be used to generate electricity and fuel, Ms. Schnee said.
"We have lots of trees to get rid of and want to work until they're gone," Ms. Schnee said.
Ms. Schnee and others will be on the property working to remove the trees from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 23 through Nov. 25, Nov. 30 through Dec. 2, Dec. 7 through Dec. 9 and Dec. 14 through Dec. 16.
Volunteers with saws would be very helpful.
"The scrub hays and I would really appreciate any help you can give us," Ms. Schnee said.
For more information, contact Ms. Schnee at (772) 589-3201.

Hollywood couple Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli spark break up rumor yet again after they were reported to have been seen partying separately. While the movie hunk was at Butter restaurant owner Richie Akiva's birthday party at N.Y.C.'s 1Oak, she was seen partying in Las Vegas at the grand opening of LAVO.
In Touch Weekly which speculated on their split quoted its insider as saying, Bar "kept saying she needed to meet a hot guy" during the event. She kept saying "she was on the prowl." A witness even claimed "Bar was having a blast."
Onlooker who witnessed Leo at Akiva's birthday bash testified the actor "kept calling it a great boys' night." He was seen talking to everyone at the party and "taking shots of Grey Goose." Adding fuel to the break up rumor, Leo is said to have "been a fixture on the nightlife scene recently."
Both Leo and Bar have yet given their statements about the break up rumor, which isn't the first for the couple who began dating in 2006. They were last reported to have ended their relationship in October last year. The report was proven false as they were seen together after that.

Easy Google Maps 'Plugin' for Silverstripe
9 October 2009 at 12:42am Last edited: 9 October 2009 12:43am
Hi all,
First of all, great product!
For a customer, I was looking for a simple way to allow content editors to easily add a Google Map so they could include this on any page they'd like - for example - on a 'Contact Us' page or so. I have been looking around on this forum, but really couldn't find anything that was easily implementable by someone without any technical knowledge what-so-ever (my customer).
I'm seeing the addition of a simple Google map as a content thing so I didn't want to create a Silverstripe Module that created a new Page Type as the editors needed the flexibility to add a map to any page type / content. Keeping this in mind, I decided to have a go at adding an 'insert Google Map' button to the CMS TinyMCE editor.. this seemed to make the most sense. This also opened up a whole can of worms as the editor does not allow you to add a script block to the content (I would have to hack core ss files to make this possible). I therefore came up with a 'Progressive Enhancement' solution which basically means that TinyMCE adds a Div with some additional information about the map to show - and that a script is loaded that finds out if the current page has a googlemap-div and if yes - loads the appropriate script libraries and creates the map on the fly. This also means that the actual map is not shown in the content pane of the CMS (it just shows a grey placeholder div).
I have a BETA version of this 'plugin' (no use calling it a module) available for anyone who would like to have a go at this thing or thinks they could use this functionality. It should be completely theme independent. Once a map has been added to the content, you should be able to change themes in _config.php and the map will (should) still work without any additional configuration.
The zipped files + (simple) installation instructions are available for download at http://www.europehosting.com/download/Google-Maps-v0.1beta.zip
The installation should take about 2 minutes max ;-) I kept it as simple as possible and prevented having to touch Core silverstripe stuff.
Any feedback/suggestions appreciated!
Best Regards,

Please note - the script will fail in Blackcandy, due to the fact that the themes includes a lot of other libraries (like prototype) to support the search box in this theme and those libs seem to be clashing with jQuery.
Not sure how to fix this savely as running jQuery in noConflict() doesn't really resolve things either..
I'll see if I can find a way to NOT use jQuery maybe?
Re: Easy Google Maps 'Plugin' for Silverstripe
9 October 2009 at 3:54am
The jQuery issue has now been resolved (it seems) - implemented noConflict() and that does seem to do the trick. Now also works in blackcandy for me..

Nice one Mike, I'm going to give it a go now.

Cool - it would be great if you can provide some feedback. BTW - this hasn't been tested fully in a lot of browsers so if you encounter any issues, please let me know the browser (+version) as well.
To see the output of the plugin (i.e. what does it do on your website) you could have a look at http://ss.kikkert.nl

Yep - you would have to travel quite far to get the right CMS - but it's worth it!
Anyhoe, let me know how you get on.. I've uploaded a new version as I found a check was missing in the v0.2 one causing it to fail in certain circumstances. The new one can be downloaded at http://www.europehosting.com/download/Google-Maps-v0.3beta.zip
