We live in a world filled by cruel and mean people. People who make caustic statements, utter cutting remarks and air unkind comments.
We live in a world of broken promises, broken marriages and broken homes.
It's a world of never ending problems, filled with people who have lost their jobs because of peer jealousy and people who have been cheated out of their life's savings.
It's a world filled with children estranged from their parents and parents estranged from their children. It's a world filled with families whose members don't even speak to each other anymore, and close friends who have drifted apart.
Invariably, all the cruelty and meanness done to us leads us to anger and hatred, towards our tormentors. It leads us to bitterness, frustration and sleepless nights. Eventually, it leads to ulcers, high blood pressure, migraines, cancer, and lots more.
Modern psychology and medical research has proved, beyond any doubt, that most sickness in man is due to broken relationships. Painful memories and thoughts destroy us and make us sick. So does rejection and hurtful words from our family, friends and colleagues.
Scientists and researchers tell us that there are numerous health hazards associated with anger, hatred and bitterness. They say it increases blood pressure and leads to hormonal changes which eventually result in cardiovascular disease, immune suppression, and possibly, impaired neurological function and memory loss.
There is a close relationship between emotions and disease. It is a fact that 90% of diseases are pneumo-psychosomatic. So, although we run to doctors and hospitals, and spend loads of money, we get no relief. We have to realize that the only real cure for our malady is total forgiveness of our perceived tormentors.
Forgive my tormentors? Yes, for this is the only way to release them from your life and set yourself free. It's not easy to forgive people who have hurt you and caused you so much pain, but it's possible if we focus on Jesus Christ hanging on the cross at Golgotha.
What happened that day was unforgivable, but no finer, purer or better example of forgiveness can you find than Jesus, hanging on the cross, close to death, praying to His Father in heaven to forgive the very people who were putting Him to death!
Condemned to death by these evil men who wanted Him dead, convicted by lying witnesses who testified falsely against Him, Jesus looked down on the mob who were taunting, mocking, jeering and cheering His sufferings, and the only truly innocent and sinless man who ever walked this sinful earth, uttered words that still melt the hardened hearts of sinners: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Lk 23 : 34).
These dozen words still ring across 2,000 years, and shatter into smithereens all our lame excuses for not forgiving those who ill-treat us and hurt us, for continuing to carry our burdens of bitterness, anger, and our desire for vengeance.
Yes, forgiveness is never easy. But, it becomes easier when we realize that forgiveness is not about us, and it's not about those who hurt us. Forgiveness is all about God.
Jesus said, "If you forgive others the wrongs they have done you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done" (Matt 6 : 14 – 15). Then He went ahead and put into practice what He had preached, on the cross at Golgotha.
Your forgiveness doesn't depend on the person who you wish to forgive. You don't need their permission to forgive them. You neither need their approval nor their agreement that they were wrong.
"God said there's a seed that's been planted in your heart. You either hate and be angry, or you forgive. I said I have to forgive."
Today, we live in a world of plastic cards, especially Credit cards and ATM cards. When we need money we go to the Automatic Teller Machine and withdraw what we need. We have instant money in our hands. That's why we call them Any Time Money cards.
But, few of us know that in our hearts we have an automatic dispensing machine, too, and it responds only to our Any Time Mercy card. So, choose forgiveness in your heart, flash your Any Time Mercy card, forgive your tormentors, and move on to a healthy and stress-free life.
Most of us never reach of level of accomplishment that we dream of, mainly because of "small" thinking. Thinking big requires thick skin. If your plans are significant, plenty of people will do and say little things that can be discouraging. The biggest achievers have to face this challenge all the time. Learn to ignore it or consider keeping your plans to yourself. If you want to think big, try these tips: 1. Consider what will happen if you don't think big. You'll regret the things you didn't do far more than the things that didn't work out. So take a few minutes and imagine how you'll feel if you never even try. Think about how you'll feel 10 years from now. Sometimes pain is the greatest motivator. How much pain will you feel if you don't take action today? 2. Be brave enough to let your creativity shine. You're more creative than you realize. Just watch a child play by himself. You still have that ability to create with your mind. But if you're like most adults, you've learned to stifle or ignore it. It might be your greatest strength. Let it out. 3. Stretch beyond your comfort zone. If you're not making yourself at least a little uncomfortable, you're not thinking big. If something seems comfortable to you, you're probably already doing it. If you're already doing it, it's not going to take you to the next level. * Learning to deal with discomfort is an important part of achieving anything new. If you have enough motivation, anything is possible. Learning to lower your discomfort through healthy means is a valuable skill. 4. It's easier than it has ever been. The Internet and other forms of mass communication have made it easier to go global than ever before. All that's required is success on a local level. That success can then be propagated to other places. Think about how difficult it would've been to spread your ideas to other countries 50 years ago. 5. Use your emotions as a guide. You'll know you're on to something when you're overwhelmed with positive emotion. Keep thinking big until you come up with an idea that truly moves you. Then keep thinking and see if you can come up with something even better. * If you're like most adults, you've become too logical and practical. But you have more capability to do the things that truly excite you than you realize. What do you really want to do? What excites you? 6. Spend time each day thinking big thoughts. Make it a habit to spend a few minutes each day coming up with great ideas. If you already have your great idea, spend the time developing ways to make it a reality. Keep improving your plan. * Make it a part of your daily routine. One possibility is to go to bed earlier and spend 30 minutes letting your imagination run wild before you sleep. Most of us think too small. We underestimate ourselves. We worry about failure. We worry about being too successful. But the world needs your big ideas, and you must think big to realize your ultimate potential for your own sake, too. Think big and have a life that's exciting and fruitful. Think big and you'll reach the end of your life free of regrets.
If you find yourself living in constant doubt and fear to the extent that you cannot move forward in life, you're not alone. Many people are overcome by timidity. This can lead to a life of mediocrity, if you let it. You don't have to be cocky or self-confident to achieve great things in life. Simply learn a little more about how to be sure of your own purpose in life.
Your abilities and potential are not opinions; they're facts. As we are all in some ways unique and in other ways similar, we each have potentials that can be continually developed into a set of abilities.
As you were created to use and thus develop your own abilities, you need not worry about measuring your worth by how far along you are. Instead, you should focus on how you can use whatever you have to benefit the people around you. It is not how good you are at doing things that will bring you joy; it is how well you use the abilities you have to help others that will be reflected in how much joy you experience.
Question Yourself to Know Yourself
If you don't already know what it is you can enjoying doing with your life, you need to ask yourself some questions in order to take a personal inventory of your interests and abilities. If you don't already know the answers to these questions, you need to explore them more deeply in order to know your purpose.
1. If failure were impossible, what great thing would you set out to do?
2. What have you daydreamed about doing with your life? What did you want to be in your youth? What have you always care about or had an interest in doing?
3. What do others think you're good at doing? Are you confident of any of the things you've been praised for in the past?
4. What do you look forward to doing? What are your hobbies?
5. Are there certain things you want to be able to do better? Can you map a path of steps to be taken that will help you get better? Can anyone else help you get better?
When you can answer all of these questions, you should have a pretty good idea of the general direction of your life. Your purpose is not some sort of idealized fantasy but a general pathway that has been laid out for you by your own features. There is no need to fall into self-doubt, as you must simply move along that pathway, led by your developing abilities.
Act in Good Faith
Doubt is an emotion. It can creep up on you without a good reason. Everyone experiences doubt at various times. Success is sometimes simply a matter of ignoring doubt. You know what your skills are and you know what you want to do, so act on those skills and let the doubt resolve itself. The way you carry yourself forward with your purpose will inspire yourself and those around you.
Consider carefully how those who inspire you by their own purposes and mimic them. How do they pace their speaking? How loudly do they speak? What types of posture and movement do they exhibit when walking or talking? Doubt will eventually be denied simply by pushing forward in a purposeful manner.
Set Yourself Up with a Mentor
Find someone you admire that either has some similar abilities or a similar purpose. Model those things you admire. Allow yourself to make mistakes as a part of the process of getting better. The greatest success will generally be had if you can enlist the person you admire in the process as your mentor. You may have to swallow your pride to ask this of another person, but surprisingly few people can say no to an admirer.
The benefit of a mentor over simply someone you admire is that a mentor is available to answer questions you have and to give you insights into the approaches taken to get things done. Often just being able to ask procedural questions of a mentor will greatly cut down on your learning curve. Being able to understand what your mentor is thinking when making decisions allows you to benefit from your mentor's experience. If nothing else, you'll spend less time questioning your purpose and more time living by it because you have someone to guide you.
Being sure of your purpose is a necessary step to living confidently. When you know yourself, act upon what you know, and get guidance from others, you will be able to overcome any doubts and achieve what you were created to achieve.
THE SECRET [Unknown Author]
One day, one friend asked another,
How is it that you are always so happy?
You have so much energy,
and you never seem to get down.
With her eyes smiling, she said,
I know the Secret!
What secret is that?
To which she replied,
I'll tell you all about it,
but you have to promise to
share the Secret with others.
The Secret is this:
I have learned there is little I can do
in my life that will make me truly happy
I must depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply
according to HIS riches.
I have learned most of the time
I don' t need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned that 'Secret' , I am happy.
The questioner ' s first thought was,
That's too simple!
But upon reflecting over her own life
she recalled how she thought a bigger house
would make her happy, but it didn't!
She thought a better paying job
would make her happy, but it hadn't.
When did she realize her greatest happiness?
Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,
playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,
a simple gift from God.
Now you know it too!
We can't depend on people to make us happy.
Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
Trust HIM!
And now I pass the Secret on to you!
So once you get it, what will you do?
YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it's not really a secret…
We just have to believe it and do it..
Really trust God!
OK you have made it through last year, and you are now in a new year. What are you going to do in the new year. In order for you to go somewhere or better yourself, you must have a plan. You must set goals. Amy Twain has laid out some great thoughts on this matter take a look.
The Power To Empower Yourself
by: Amy Twain
A set of goals would empower you and you could then proceed to begin and follow your journey or voyage by setting your desired goals. Goal setting is indeed very necessary if you would like to empower yourself, as it is the initial step towards a more satisfying and fulfilling life. So to use personal empowerment to develop and further enhance your life, ample support from family, friends and relatives are essential and you need discipline as well to create and come up with the right and best decision in your life. Goal setting could be in the form of the achievable and the feasible and also, those which are not within your ability and your budget but that could be addressed later.
Personal empowerment will allow you to follow the dreams that are not within your means now. Take those small steps and set attainable and reachable goals within a brief time frame so that you would feel empowered when you accomplish them. Achieving goals become easier as you pursue and persist to empower yourself. You could take your time to experience your growth personally as it can be very empowering to aspire to move on and be more in life. There are several rewards you can reap to personal empowerment but you really need to think forward as goal setting would enhance your life for the better and likewise help you to attain more.
Inspiring moments are also helpful and it could enliven you more and move on to pursue and foresee more personal goals. As you pursue and reach every small goal, you can see positive and better changes in you and the succeeding set of goals become more and more challenging. You would begin to look forward to it and personal empowerment would form a life you truly desire and always dreamed about. Every personal growth would heighten and intensify your sense of power and ideas and ambition are no longer out of reach. You may also need to map out a group or team of action to handle with the several obstacles in life as they delay and postpone one's progress.
Always bear in mind to keep pushing yourself and think positive at all times, as they can be so empowering. Get rid of the negative vibrations and feelings. It will take time, yet try to make it a routine to think more on a positive note. Turning negative into something optimistic is a good distinctive feature and never, ever giving up as endurance and perseverance and patient and tolerant in overcoming the many barriers and hindrances, and always looking forward is truly important to empower oneself. To create something out of your own life, there are myriad of ways out there but each begins with a small step.
To begin empowering yourself, you have to do things which truly interest you and along the way, you would be the person ever you will hold in high regard. Don't stop empowering yourself because your personal empowerment and growth as a person will bring about self worth and positive image.
Laughter: An Effective Stress-Buster
There is plenty of evidence that laughter is indeed a potent medication. It may seem difficult to laugh when you're stressed, but once you start laughing, you'll soon find that your stress levels quickly decline. As you begin to get a grip on your stress, you'll gain the perspective you need in order to accomplish whatever it is you want to accomplish. Of just as great an importance, as you laugh away your stress, it'll put far fewer burdens on your relationships with others.
Of course, there is more to good health than a sound mind. The peace of mind brought on by laughter quickly spreads throughout your body. Your muscle tension will begin to melt away as you leave the stress induced fight-or-flight responses behind and move into a state of normal body function. This allows your immune system to also move back toward optimal function.
Any type of overwhelming feeling can be overcome with a hearty laugh. Relaxing the tension behind the emotion allows you to fact-check the emotion and put it into a proper perspective. This may be particularly true when you are facing an overwhelming frustration or a burst of anger.
Healthy Laughter Tips
1. Make laughter a part of your daily morning routine. For the best possible result, make it a family activity. It's very hard to maintain anger or frustration regarding someone with whom you share many good laughs.
If none of you are particularly good at making others laugh, you can always record a comedy show or sitcom that is appropriately funny for the whole family to watch together.
2. Figure out what senses of humor you have. What types of comedy are particularly funny to you? The more you practice laughing with videos, audios, and reading materials, the more aware you'll become of what types of comedy strike you as particularly funny. You'll gain a greater appreciation for family members as you learn about what sense of humor they have.
3. Spend as much of your social time as possible with people who enjoy laughter. You'll quickly discover that those who laugh the most are often the happiest people. More importantly, laughter is catchy and you'll soon find yourself laughing more and doing or saying more things that make others laugh.
Don't be alarmed when you discover that you gain a different perspective on various peoples and ways of life as your worldview expands and you gain a greater appreciation of universal truths.
4. You must learn how to enjoy laughing at yourself. This is particularly challenging for those most in need of such a skill. When you're able to laugh at your mistakes in life, you'll also be able to take more corrective actions without counterproductive, harsh self-judgments.
5. Don't be afraid to make others laugh too. It's very difficult not to laugh when others laugh. The more you share those humorous things you witness or experience, the more you'll find yourself laughing about them.
Humor is built into the world in which we live. Whether you're laughing or not is purely dependent on whether or not you're looking for the humor in life and allowing yourself the full enjoyment of it. The more you can laugh about life, the less stress will overwhelm you.
A sincere smile makes me seem approachable, even from a distance. People feel comfortable coming to me because they feel welcomed by my smile.
When I smile, I do it out of a genuine desire to inspire joy in everyone whom I encounter. My personal goal is for people to walk away from an interaction with me feeling happier than they were before we met.
The world can feel full of unpleasantness and fear, but my smile helps to generate hope. A negative attitude is all too common, and it pushes people away. To enjoy pleasant company, I refrain from giving in to negativity.
Wearing a smile on my face is a conscious choice I make every morning. I smile, not because life is perfect, but because I choose to see the positive in every situation. There is something to find joy in even in the toughest of times.
I make it my duty to find something to be cheerful about at all times. Instead of pushing people away with negativism, I draw them in with my smile.
My friends and family look up to me as someone whose presence they enjoy. They like to spend time with me because I smile. My positive attitude puts me in a position of influence over others.
Today, I choose to find a reason to smile. Whether it is because of a triumph, a lesson, or just the joy of living, I wear a bright smile on my face to inspire others to do the same. With my positive outlook, I am transforming my relationships, my community and my world.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Why should I smile today?
2. Why is it best to focus on the positive?
3. How does my attitude affect my relationships?
Discovering Inner Strength
Even though life can be a fantastic ride, sometimes it can also knock the wind out of your sails. When tough times trigger your insecurities, you can discover an inner strength that will get you through practically anything.
Try these ideas to get started:
1. Reflect on the tough times you've had before. Ask yourself how you got through it. What did you do? What did you think? What did you tell yourself? Your resilience will become evident as you do this exercise and give you real hope for the future in dealing with other obstacles.
• Recognize that you've made it through those difficult situations. Then think about what you're experiencing right now. Is the current situation similar to or much different from your other tough times? Use what you've learned from your past challenges.
2. Learn to talk to yourself in positive, encouraging ways. This will help you build up your inner strength.
• As if speaking to your own best friend, tell yourself what will most help and encourage you. What do you most want to hear? What do you need to hear to help gather your strength? Is there something specific you're hoping will happen?
• Practice providing yourself with encouraging, uplifting messages. The messages you give yourself can be less than helpful or they can propel you through the roughest of circumstances.
• Talking to yourself with respect, care and positivity builds your inner strength so it's there when you need it. When the going gets tough, you'll have yourself to fall back on.
3. Allow yourself time to think through whatever the situation is. It's okay to feel confused.
• What are your ideas about how to weather the storm? Examine all the solutions you can come up with. Explain to yourself what you'll do and how you'll do it.
• A sense of your own resourcefulness can be found in your ability to problem-solve through challenging situations.
4. Consider who you regard as role models or mentors. You selected those people because you respect and admire them. They're strong enough people that you want to emulate them.
• Think about their strength of character. How do you know they have it? What does that strength look like? How does it manifest?
5. Reflect on what you've done or been through that you're most proud of. Was it making it through college although you had to work while you attended classes? Maybe it was moving out on your own for the first time and figuring out you could take care of yourself.
• Even though you might have felt afraid, uncomfortable, lost, or confused, you discovered your internal resources and made it through those experiences.
• When you examine what you did to handle those situations and how you made it through, you'll recall your inner strength.
• You can get in touch with your own resourcefulness by re-visiting those events that bring you pride.
6. Sometimes, you've just got to "fake it till you make it." You can probably recall a time when you felt afraid or weren't sure you could succeed, but you stood up and met the challenge head on.
Discovering your inner strength is possible, even in the toughest of times. Following the steps above will help you discover your courage and resourcefulness. And with this self-understanding, you can handle anything!
What if people could discover alternative ways to resolve our differences and find peaceful activities that would bring out the best in everyone instead of the historic repeated pathways that have led to indifference, prejudices, violence, chaos and wars among us.
Wouldn't it be exciting to think that possibilities exist so that people could access peaceful ways to resolve all our problems instead of resorting to violence and chaos that ultimately hurts everyone? We have learned from quantum research that there appears to be endless possibilities of reality.
Physicians, scientists and researchers are searching to understand consciousness and to locate our mind which appears to be not in our brain, as previously thought, but instead it is part of a vast network of oscillating waves and connections throughout the universe, and perhaps thousands of other unknown dimensions.
The quantum theories being developed from research and experiments in all fields of science are so incredibly mind blowing and seemingly complex that it is easy for the average person to ignore this astounding information. We go on about living our daily lives in which our limiting beliefs that have been cast into our perception and ways of thinking keep our minds closed and skeptical or indifferent. Therefore, our limiting beliefs continue to engineer and drive our habits, emotions, relationships, and health with similar patterns and outcomes.
Meanwhile a vast array of possibilities for renewal and human consciousness evolution awaits the awakening and acceptance of these possibilities so that humans can learn how to utilize these concepts to create a world of peace, prosperity and abundance for all.
For instance, one area of interest that affects people everywhere of all cultures, ethnic groups, governments, and religions is that of society and relationships. What if enough people were able to quiet our fears and opened our minds so that we were able to tap into expanding global consciousness solutions affecting our interactive relationships with one another that are based on underlying premises of love, harmony, kindness, joyfulness, giving and forgiving.
Though most scientific journals and articles are beyond the logical comprehension of human brain understanding, it is becoming clearer that these concepts are open to all people who choose to take the necessary steps to dissolve fears, open our minds to unlimited beliefs, and tap into that great "One Mind" of possibilities.
The mysteries of this great "Source" or "One Mind" are being revealed, and it remains a free choice of humans whether to seek and tap into this information for vast possibilities or to remain closed to these possibilities. Countless books, articles, films, etc. are available for inquiring minds that are changing the consciousness of people everywhere.
Since young we are told to study hard in school, get started and work hard with a respectful career over everything else so that we can have a happy life. We have been bombarded with this message throughout our lives and it has made a deep impact on all of us.
Most of us think that we have no other choice but to keep running on this track mill of life, just like the hamsters that simply go through the daily monotony with no questions asked. Then, we keep our dreams locked in the closet fearing that other people may not believe us or laugh at our "unrealistic" dreams. We want to fit ourselves into the image of being "normal".
The good news is, we do not have to take the road that everyone takes. Many people have lost their jobs during this recent economic downturn. Now is the perfect time to pursue our dreams, to answer our inner calling. This inner yearning comes from deep within the core of who we really are as a person. Living this dream would bring us a genuine sense of well-being. When we do what we truly enjoy and believe, we live more in the present, feel happier and peaceful with ourselves and our surrounding. Though we may not make a lot of money with this new path, we will certainly enjoy it and live with no regret. The saddest thing in life is to ask "What if" at our deathbed, right?
The secret to happiness is to become courageous and follow what we truly want, that means to follow our hearts. If we have the talent and the ability to sustain that dream, then why not go for it? The world of today glamorizes certain lifestyle and careers, but reality says otherwise. We know things are just different from what we see in the movies. The key to enjoy life is to stand strong and not to live your life according to other people's opinions. We have to let our inner strength take the wheel of our lives. If we don't take control, other people will be most happy to run our lives for us. So, do not let the views of others affect our search for self-fulfillment.
We must also realize that following our dreams does not mean that we will always be happy and enjoy every minute of it. There will be times that we will be required to do things that we do not love. However, in the end we do get what we want. Life in itself is a surprise, and we often find ourselves being thrown a few surprises along the way.
Following our dreams also does not always mean that we will experience an overall sense of satisfaction, but this is far better than ignoring our inner cravings and putting them off until it never actually happens. On the road to fulfill our dreams may put us out of our comfort zone but we have to learn to cement our direction just to make ourselves truly happy with how our lives have turned out.
We must realize what kind of life we want ultimately. Though it requires conscious effort, but eventually, we get to spend the rest of our lives without regret. The seeds have been sown deep in our hearts and minds, and it is our job to reap the benefits of what we have planted. By following what we truly desire, not only do we fulfill our dreams and be happier, but we are also uplifting the spirit of the entire humanity!

Chaos Men: Delaney
Delaney is very nice, easy to talk too, open-minded (meaning *we think* he has tried oral with a guy just to see what it was like), and of course, is one of the hottest Gingers we have seen!
He has a hot body too, toned-up from years of playing soccer. The girls like his soccer ass, and he actually likes his butt played with a "little." Says it makes him cum fast and hard. We can't imagine him cumming harder or any more than he does in this video! We swear his dick spasms 8-9 times, spraying DNA all over his chest.
He is a natural showman, and has always wanted to do porn, so was very motivated to show-off to you. Chaos Men also tossed in some sock fetish stuff again, taking off his socks, a quick sniff, and then using them to wipe up his magnificent load.
Please enjoy this Ginger that is smoking hot -- from red head to toe!

There is no reservation that the pure Moringa Oleifera Tree leaf is the source of incredible health benefits. It's the greatest, natural, organic, energy and endurance health supplement. There is abundance of information out there to describe the remuneration of the moringa tree. We feel that Zija makes the best Moranga product out there but you be your own adjudicator.
India's ancient tradition of ayurveda medicine sites 300 diseases that are treated with the leaves of the Moringa tree. Gram for gram, Moringa leaves have:
•7 times the vitamin C in oranges
•4 times the calcium in milk
•4 times the vitamin A in carrots
•2 times the protein in milk
•3 times the potassium in bananas
wholesome powdered capsules are organic and entirely safe. There are no known side effects. It's gentle enough to be given to babies in Africa to conquer malnourishment. It's one of the most secret performance enhancing products taken by athletes today who ingest megadoses that help them physically and mentally. It's great for people of all ages, particularly oldsters who are losing their alertness.
While there have been references to the Moringa Oleifera Tree that go back a couple thousand years, and the World Health Organization has been studying and using the plant for the last forty years as a minimal cost health enhancer in the poorest countries around the world, there is a basis why its still more or less unfamiliar. The sale of all forms of vitamins, minerals, and health supplements is a large business. If you were a company selling hundreds of nutritional products, why would you sell one product that could potentially wipe out all your other products! This would be factual for the pharmaceutical industry as well. These industries, with huge marketing budgets, would rather the general public remains unaware about the amazing moringa leaf. Zija Supplement has taken the lead in bringing Moranga to the USA as we have two large problems. First we do not get everything we need in our diets and next we are overweight. Zija has put out two great Moranga products that deal with both issues.
Currently Zija makes the only Moranga supplement in its purest form, Zija uses all the great parts of the Moranga tree in the supplement and in the XM3 weight loss product. I have individually lost 30lb's on the XM3 in 15 weeks. We don't scrimp on quality either. We scoured the world to find the best organic farmers in the world.

A guitar noodles on the soundtrack as some white text on a black background informs us that we are in Miami, Florida. As opposed to Miami, Ohio. Because that would be a completely different show. Fade up on a man and a woman talking over drinks in a restaurant and laughing flirtily. He is guessing various occupations she might have, such as schoolteacher, social worker, contracts lawyer, and art dealer, and she is telling him that he's wrong, wrong, wrong. But in a nice, sexy way. She finally asks if he wants to know, and he says that he doesn't. The man is Patrick Dempsey and the woman is Carla Gugino, a.k.a. the titular Karen Sisco.
Cut to three days earlier (which we know thanks to some more on-screen text). Karen drives into a motel parking lot during a driving rainstorm. She asks her partner if he's clear on the plan, and he says that he is. Karen gets out of the car and draws a deep breath.
Cut back to the flirty restaurant scene. Karen asks Patrick Dempsey why he's fiddling with a cigarette. Patrick explains that he quit smoking, but that he keeps the cigarette around to remind him that he can. That he can smoke? That he cannot smoke? Patrick asks Karen for a hint about her job. Karen laughs and says, "Play the game, play the rules." Which is another line that doesn't really make sense, but these two have good chemistry, so I'll let it slide.
Cut back to the rainy motel parking lot. Karen and her partner run up to a door on the second floor with their guns drawn. Through lightning flashes, we see that the back of their jackets say that they are U.S. Marshals. Karen and her partner take their places on either side of the door. Karen knocks and announces that they are U.S. Marshals, in case you missed the yellow lettering on the back of their jackets. Someone inside starts shooting through the door, and Karen and her partner dive for cover.
Flirty restaurant. Patrick Dempsey asks Karen if the giant bruise on her upper left breast is a birthmark. If I had a giant bruise like that, I would not be wearing a lacy camisole to show it off, but that's just me. I probably wouldn't wear a lacy camisole, full stop.
Motel. Karen kicks in the door and enters the room.
Restaurant. Patrick Dempsey reaches out and touches the bruise. Karen barely flinches. He asks if it hurts. Karen doesn't answer.
Motel. Karen's partner says he will check out back, and runs out onto the balcony. Karen hears a noise behind her and spins just in time to catch a bullet in the chest. Karen hits the ground and looks up to see the gunman standing over her, gun pointed. The gun goes off.

Just one, but only if she's wearing stiletto heels.
At first glance, Target's new TV campaign, featuring high-fashion models selling everyday staples, seems off-strategy, if not downright weird.
Light bulbs, chicken breasts and baby dill pickles are highlighted as part of (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) The Everyday Collection at Target.
What's going on? Are they selling instant oatmeal to fashionistas? Couture to soccer moms?
Given the references to pregnancy cravings, diaper changes and PTA bake sales, the campaign's target is young moms and moms-to-be, a highly desirable demographic for retailers. Lock 'em in now and they'll return for the back-to-school sales.
The campaign "creates a foil for what people are used to seeing for grocery advertising," said Jeff Jones, Target's EVP and CMO, in an interview with the Associated Press. "It combines the design ethos and fashion creditability that Target has with the idea that it also has great grocery items at a great price."
But are they really selling muffin mix? I don't think so.
The TV spots engage by playfully employing production values one would expect in a sports car or perfume commercial. (Watch examples below.) Marketing investments of this magnitude are not usually made without research. One can assume Target's target appreciated its tongue-in-cheek portrayal of supermoms.
Target claims to be taking "a category typically advertised by price points and bring(ing) it to a level that makes everyday routines appear glamorous." But that's not what is going on here.
Target isn't really selling baby wipes. It's positioning its brand to the next generation of shoppers.

Words of the Week
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
First of all, as to the question of where exactly hell and the Buddha exist, one sutra states that hell exists underground, and another sutra says that the Buddha is in the west. Closer examination, however, reveals that both exist in our five-foot body. This must be true because hell is in the heart of a person who inwardly despises his father and disregards his mother. It is like the lotus seed, which contains both blossom and fruit. In the same way, the Buddha dwells within our hearts. -Nichiren<< Yesterday Today Tomorrow >>

1300-1500: Sometime during this period the Apaches de Nabajo arrived in the Southwest. Exact time of arrival and routes of travel are still uncertain and various writers, basing their ideas on the best evidence available, (which is very limited), have quite divergent theories. All we can say with certainty is that they came ultimately from the North. Just how rapidly they spread over the country and occupied places such as Canyon de Chelly are matters on which we need further data.
1582: First mention of people who were probably Navajos, encountered at the base of Mount Taylor by the Espejo Expedition. This group was perhaps ancestral to the present-day Canyoncito Navajos. They were referred to as "Corechos" or "Querechos," traded and apparently also fought with Acoma, grew corn and hunted. Supplied Espejo's men with food on his way west to Hopi, but on his return fought him with bows and arrows to free Corecho women received as slaves from the Hopis.
1598: Arrival of Spanish colonists in New Mexico and first efforts by missionaries to convert the various Apache groups, including no doubt some of the Apaches de Nabajo.
1625-29: Fray Alonso de Benavides, Custodian of the New Mexico missions, arranged peace with the Apaches de Nabajo, who had been at war with the Spaniards, and made further efforts at missionary work among them. He described them as farmers, hunters, and valiant warriors, and as a very numerous people extending far to the west of the settlements, which might imply that Canyon de Chelly was already within their territory.
1626: Earliest surviving use of the name "Apaches de Nabaju" in Relacion of Zárate Salmerón.
1678: First definite documentation that the Navajos were using horses, although there is less explicit evidence that they had horses by 1653 if not earlier. Considerable warfare with the Spaniards and taking of Navajos as slaves during this century.
1680: The Pueblo Revolt, which drove the Spaniards from New Mexico. The Navajos aided the Pueblos in the revolt and obtained some captives, who were founders of new clans.
1692-93: The Reconquest of deVargas, subjecting all Pueblos except the Hopis to Spanish rule again.
1696: An unsuccessful second revolt by some of the Pueblos. Flight of numerous refugees to Navajo country, founding several new clans, settling mostly in the Dinetah area east of Farmington, N. M.
1700: Destruction of Awatovi, the easternmost Hopi town, by the other Hopis, in part due to willingness of the Awatovians to allow the missionaries to return. Some refugees from this event also joined the Navajos and founded one or more new clans. A part of them settled in Canyon de Chelly, but apparently sometime later.
1706: Earliest known mention of sheep and weaving among the Navajos, probably introduced by the Pueblo refugees.
1716: Last campaign against the Navajos during the early part of this century. There followed more than a half century of peace between the Navajos and the whites.
1740s: Another effort to convert Navajos, accomplishing only the establishment of two missions, which lasted less than a year, near Mount Taylor.
1749-53: Navajo population of the Dinetah, of mixed Athabaskan and Pueblo ancestry, moved out due to drought and Ute raids, spreading over the area to the southwest as far as Manuelito, Ganado, and Nazlini by 1764. Some of these people probably arrived in Canyon de Chelly about the same time.
1750s-1760s: Spanish settlement within the eastern fringes of Navajo country, especially around Mount Taylor and along the Rio Puerco of the East (Cuba, N. M. to the Acoma-Laguna region).
1774-75: Navajo war against the Spaniards, driving the settlers from their settlements.
1777-78: Earliest Spanish mention of Canyon de Chelly appears on maps made by Don Bernardo de Miera y Pacheco. On one of his maps dated 1778 it is spelled "Chegui" and is surrounded by several little hogan-like symbols. The mountains immediately to the east are called the "Sierra de Chegui." I suspect that the Canyon de Chelly area was penetrated by troops during the war of 1774-75, giving rise to better knowledge of it among the Spaniards, but thus far no campaign reports have been located in any archival collections.
1780: Juan Bautista de Anza made an expedition to Hopi to bring 40 families of Rio Grande refugees back to their missions. On arriving he learned that the 40 families had gone to join the Navajos instead. According to reports the Navajos killed the men and kept the women and children. This was during a war between the two tribes. It is sometimes assumed that these families went to Canyon de Chelly.
1786: "Chelli" was listed as one of the "five divisions" of the tribe.
1794: Mention of Canyon de Chelly as a place where Navajos pastured their livestock.
1796: "Chelle" was listed as one of ten Navajo settlements.
1804: New war by Navajos against renewed Spanish expansion into eastern Navajo country.
1805: The war continuing, Lieutenant Antonio Narbona brought troops and Opata Indian allies from Sonora late in 1804. On being joined by some New Mexican troops and Zuni Indians, he attacked the Navajos in Canyon de Chelly (or del Muerto) in January 1805, killing 115 people and taking 33 captives. This was probably the battle at Massacre Cave, but there are a number of discrepancies between Narbona's report and the Navajo tradition. He reported the canyon bottom as being fertile, but did not mention cornfields or orchards, perhaps merely because at that time of year they were not especially obvious.
1807: Gila Apaches visited the Navajos in Canyon de Chelly and invited some Navajos to go back with them on a return visit, but on the return trip stole the Navajos' horses, thus starting a war between the Apaches and the Navajos.
1816: Navajos from the Mount Taylor area moved temporarily to the de Chelly area because of war with the Comanches.
1818-19: War with the Spaniards, caused in part perhaps by Navajo belief in Spanish complicity in Comanche attacks. It is probable, but not certain, that Spanish troops operated part of the time in or near Canyon de Chelly.
1821: Another war with the Spaniards with inconclusive results. Mexico gains its independence.
1822: A war with Mexico caused by the killing by treachery of several Navajo emissaries at Jemez.
1823: Vizcarra' s campaign into Navajo country. On the outward march the army camped one night at the mouth of Canyon de Chelly after scouting some side canyons. In the morning Navajo skirmishers attacked the camp, wounding one of Vizcarra's men and suffering no losses themselves. This was on July 13. From here Vizcarra went west to the Hopi area and beyond. The baggage train seems to have stayed behind and was still there on August 8 when a Mexican soldier was killed at the mouth of the canyon. It is possible that troops assigned to protect the baggage penetrated the canyon, but if so they did little damage, because all Navajo casualties are accounted for in the journals of the main column and other detachments. On August 18 Vizcarra returned to this base camp, which he called Tierra Blanca, and was joined on the same day by another detachment, coming up the Chinle Wash from the north, which had been harassed by Navajo warriors until it arrived about at Many Farms. The army rested at Tierra Blanca most of the next day, getting a late start, and began a slow return to New Mexico, taking 2 days to reach Little Canyon de Chellyprobably on its upper portion.
1825: Another campaign into Navajo country, route unknown.
1833: Still another campaign, route unknown.
1834: And again.
1835: A campaign that got only as far as Washington Pass, where it was defeated when the Navajos ambushed it. Three of the officers, including Blas de Hinojos, the leader, were killed. Navajos from Canyon de Chelly may well have participated in this battle, one of the tribe's major victories in the wars with Mexico.
1836: Three campaigns invaded Navajo country, but places visited unknown.
1836-37: Another campaign in the winter that camped at least one night at a place called Ojo del Carrizo near Canyon de Chelly.
1838: A campaign into the Tunicha Mountains, but whether it got close to de Chelly is not known.
1839: Campaign by three columns of troops. Two columns operated in the Canyon de Chelly area early in November. On the 5th a party of 500 men under Captain Juan Cristobal Armijo was sent to explore Canyon de Chelly. On the 7th a second detachment of 100 men was sent to assist him. He returned on the 8th, having detached 300 men to lay siege to a mesa on which Navajos were holding out. The mesa was apparently near the canyon and a second detachment was sent by way of Little Canyon de Chelly to attack the mesa after the others returned without having had any success. They managed to catch a half dozen stray Navajo horses and mules, but also failed to take the mesa. Setting out toward the Carrizo Mountains, one column then had an encounter with "a multitude of Navajos" at the mouth of the canyon, which resulted in no action, the troops camping there for the night. Marching northward, various small detachments were sent to scout the country, one of which made an attack on some Navajos on the "Mesas de Chelly" in which they killed a man and captured a woman and 160 sheep but had four men injured in a fall over a precipice.
1840: Two columns of troops again invaded Navajo country. One operated east of the mountains and the route of the other is unknown. The Navajos held a Naach'id or tribal assembly that winter near de Chelly, probably somewhere in the Chinle Valley, to discuss making peace with Mexico. Negotiations took most of the winter, but a treaty was made in the spring of 1841.
1843: Two campaigns, routes unknown.
1846: U.S. war with Mexico. Major Gilpin visited Canyon de Chelly in November, inviting Navajo headmen to the council with Doniphan at Bear Springs (present Fort Wingate) where the first treaty between the United States and the tribe was signed. Which, if any, headmen from the canyons attended the treaty negotiations is not reported in the surviving records.
1847: Major Robert Walker led the first U.S. expedition to enter Canyon de Chelly. They marched only 6 miles up the canyon and seeing no Navajos, turned around and marched out, noticing a few Navajo spies only on the rims of the canyon.
1849: Treaty signed at mouth of canyon with Col. John Washington and part of canyon explored by Lt. James Simpson.
1850: A private campaign led by Ramon Luna, after attacking the Navajos on Black Mesa, on their return journey camped at the mouth of Canyon de Chelly, where six men who strayed from camp were killed.
1851: Navajos reported planting extensively at Canyon de Chelly. Colonel Sumner's expedition, with the rather unsuccessful entry into Canyon de Chelly and his precipitous withdrawal, but resulting in the establishment of Fort Defiance.
1853: Agent Henry L. Dodge and Maj. Henry L. Kendrick, with troops from Fort Defiance and the post chaplain, Rev. John Shaw, visited Canyon de Chelly in an effort to settle differences between the whites and the Navajos. They found the crops good and the Navajos, who supplied them with green corn, melons, milk and cheese, friendly. It was about the end of July and they were invited to return when the peaches were ripe. The headmen encountered in the canyon were Fairweather and Amagoso, the latter a war chief. As they do not appear in later reports under those names, they cannot be identified with known leaders. There are indications that Amagoso died later that year, apparently of natural causes.
1854: A Navajo, said to be from Canyon de Chelly, killed a soldier at Fort Defiance. A Mexican captive, said by the Navajos to be the murderer, was executed, but he may have been substituted for the real culprit and the army deceived in the case.
1856: Treaty negotiated by Governor Meriwether, never ratified by Congress however. Mariano Martinez of Canyon de Chelly, who had signed the Treaty of 1849 with Colonel Washington, also signed this treaty. Whether he was the man called Fairweather by Dodge is uncertain.
1857: Ute raid between the mouth of Canyon de Chelly and the Carrizo Mountains, in which eight Navajos were killed. The Navajos retaliated, killing five Utes.
1858: JanuaryAnother Ute attack, in which the headman Pelon, a wealthy stockman, was killed. This is perhaps the raid depicted in the famous Ute raid pictograph panel.
AprilNavajos of Cuentes Azules' ("Blue or Turquois Beads") band raided Abiquiu, taking some sheep, which they drove to the vicinity of Canyon de Chelly.
JuneA major meeting was held at Canyon de Chelly by the Navajos to decide whether to have peace or war, the major trouble being disputes with Major Brooks at Fort Defiance over grazing land used by military livestock, and perhaps other matters.
JulyKilling of Major Brooks's slave at Fort Defiance, leading to war.
SeptemberColonel Miles led troops of his command into the upper end of Monument Canyon and westward through the canyons to the mouth of de Chelly. He reported cornfields and peaches in the canyon, but the invasion accomplished little with regard to the war, the main action taking place in other locations.
NovemberMiles's troops, after a roundabout march east of the mountains and crossing to the west to Lukachukai, marched southward to the mouth of Canyon de Chelly where they camped, using nearby hogans for firewood. Here they were met by Barboncito who tried to arrange a truce to end the war and a day was spent in camp negotiating and planning for Barboncito to bring a delegation of headmen to Fort Defiance to meet with the agent. The next day the troops marched for the fort. A second column under Major Backus passed southward across the headwaters of the canyon to the east.
1859: Winter to Spring, exact dating uncertain. The last Naach'id was held at Tsin Sikaad, about 12 miles northwest of Chinle. The Treaty of 1858 was rejected, but Zarcillos Largos and Manuelito split on the issue of war and peace and no definitive consensus was reached. Although the decision for war was made, Zarcillos Largos walked out and warfare did not break out for several months. Tribal leadership remained split, and the traditional political organization of the tribe was no longer effective.
JulyCapt. John G. Walker led troops on an exploring trip to the canyon, entering at the head of Canyon de Chelly and emerging at the mouth, passing cornfields and wheatfields in the canyon and, at the mouth, holding a meeting with about 200 Navajo men and their families. The new Navajo agent, Silas F. Kendrick (not to be confused with Capt. Henry Kendrick who commanded Ft. Defiance a few years earlier) accompanied this expedition and later wrote that he ate, drank, and danced with the Navajos.
SeptemberCaptain Walker, on his return march from another exploring trip over Black Mesa and back through Marsh Pass camped again near the mouth of Canyon de Chelly. He reported the Navajos busily engaged in harvesting their corn, some drying it "in kilns heated with hot stones." He saw some horses and sheep and was given peaches.
1860: JulyA private campaign from Abiquiu passed near the mouth of Canyon de Chelly to pursue herds seen to the west on Black Mesa, where Navajos in great numbers drove them back.
OctoberCanby's troops, on campaign, marched in two columns, one north and one south of the canyons, from east to west and met at the mouth of de Chelly, from there turning northward toward Marsh Pass.
1861: Navajos which attended horse races at Fort Wingate in September, which ended in an attack by the troops, were said to include people from Canyon de Chelly.
1863: AugustKit Carson led his troops on a march that went north past the mouth of Canyon de Chelly, near which place they destroyed over 100 acres of corn, thence east around the northern side of the canyons and south over the headwaters. He reported only a few Navajos, all very poor, in the vicinity.
OctoberNavajos stole 89 sheep from the corral of an army grazing camp at Black Lake and successfully got away with them to Canyon de Chelly.
1864: JanuaryCarson's famous invasion of Canyon de Chelly. He and his troops arrived near the mouth of the canyon on the 12th, where he scouted the south rim for 10 or 11 miles, a detail scouting the night before attacking some Navajos with livestock as they were about to enter the canyon, killing 11 and taking four captives and a herd of sheep and goats. Having sent Capt. Albert Pfieffer directly to the eastern end of the canyon, he next scouted both rims of the canyon on the 13th and 14th. Pfieffer's command entered the upper end of Canyon del Muerto on the 11th, reaching the mouth of de Chelly on the 13th. His column spent two nights in the canyon and engaged in a number of minor skirmishes, during which they killed three Navajos. The fighting prevented them from destroying orchards observed on the way. Following this on the 16th, Capt. A. B. Cary led a column of troops up the main canyon. After accepting the surrender of 150 Navajos at his camp 18 miles up the canyon that night, he marched another 2 miles the next morning to a trail leading out to the south and proceeded thence directly to Fort Defiance. While no major battle took place in the canyons, the penetration of them and the fact that Carson and his officers were able to convince the starving Navajos that they could surrender without being killed soon led to the surrender of large numbers destined for Fort Sumner.
AugustCapt. John Thompson led a small force into Canyon de Chelly and destroyed the peach orchards. He also accepted the surrender of Barboncito and his few remaining followers.
1865: It was reported in March that only about 60 Navajos were still trying to hide out in Canyon de Chelly.
1866: MarchCaptain S. A. Gorman marched from Ft. Wingate to the mouth of Canyon de Chelly. He found evidence that many Navajos were hiding in the canyons but, having a small force and having used most of his ammunition before reaching that point, turned back.
1868: Return of the Navajos from Fort Sumner.
1871: Death of Barboncito following a long illness. J. H. Beadle, a newspaperman and writer, visited Navaho country. Leaving Ft. Defiance with a young Navajo man as guide, he visited the mouth of Canyon de Chelly, where he found some 2 or 3 square miles of land under cultivation but doing very poorly due to drought.
1873: Visit to Canyon de Chelly by T. H. O'Sullivan, photographer for the Wheeler Survey.
1878: Hastiin Biwosi, a signer of the Treaty of 1868 and a resident of Canyon del Muerto, killed as an alleged witch near Ganado.

1887: Donovan died and Cotton again took over the store, with John W. Boehm as his manager.
1888: Cotton still operating the store with a "Mr. Hubbell," probably Charles, as his manager, but unable to get license.
1889: John W. Boehm had the license and was trading at Chinle. [Note: All these early changes in traders were the result of the political intrigue involved in getting a trading license at this time. Other traders at Chinle in this period seem to include two brothers, Washington P. Lingle and Thomas J. Lingle, about 1888-89, and Bernard J. Mooney and James F. Boyle in 1889.]
1892: "The Trouble at Round Rock"Black Horse and his followers beat up Agent Dana Shipley in protesting the kidnapping of children for the schools.

Agent Reuben Perry beat up at Chinle by supporters of Tol Zhin when he tried to arrest him on a charge of rape. Tol Zhin and six others were later arrested by troops from Ft. Wingate and spent short periods in jail. The others involved were Winslow, Dlad or Linni Dlad, Ts'osini' Biye', Dinetigai, Doyatti and Ush Dilly, most being of the Taachii'nii Clan.
At this time the Government already had an agency farmer and two field matrons stationed at Chinle. Just when the first Government personnel were assigned there is a bit uncertain. Reportedly the field matrons ran a small school rather informally.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – A teacher from South Brunswick High School is facing animal cruelty charges.
According to the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office and Brunswick County Schools, those charges are related to depriving poultry and turkeys of necessary sustenance.
Beke M. Lindsay is now facing three charges of animal cruelty, and the birds involved were being used as part of educational research for a project entitled The Science of Fertilizer.
Lindsay is an agricultural teacher in the career-technical education program at South Brunswick High School. She has been placed on administrative leave at the school until further notice.
Superintendent Dr. Edward Pruden said in a press release the school board regrets the incident happened on school property and the people responsible for the cruelty will be held accountable.

In addition to devotions, we've been making our mealtimes a little more memorable around here. A few weeks ago, we decided to implement a themed dinner once a week. Tuesdays seemed the best fit for us.
The Lord has been working on my homemaker heart to make our family table more inviting, more engaging, and ultimately more pleasing to my family and the Lord. It's my heart's desire to make our dinner table one of the central gathering places in our home ~ a place where we can eat, share, laugh, pray, & discuss all that our Heavenly Father would have us to. The Lord put some very timely blessings in my path at our local library. I stumbled across some books and DVDs that revolutionized my mealtime plans. I want to highlight here one resource I found particularly inspiring. It's entitled, The Family Meal Table, with Nancy Campbell. Nancy Campbell is the director of Above Rubies Ministry. This particular production was such an encouraging program!
In The Family Meal Table, Nancy gave so many wonderful practical ideas to incorporate hospitality & creativity into mealtimes. She mentioned that mealtime at her house was something the whole family looked forward to. Her own children gave testimonies of how they never wanted to miss it. One thing she mentioned really struck a chord with me ~ having "themed" mealtimes. Yes!!! I love it! The Lord planted the idea in mind to try this out once a week to begin. I felt like that was a feasible and attainable place to begin. So far, we've had three themed Tuesday dinners, and I can't tell you what a blessing and joy they have been! ♥ Thank you, Lord, and thank you, Mrs. Campbell, for the help and inspiration!
Here's a glimpse of what we've done thus far...
Week 1 Theme: "Cowboy Dinner"
Garden Greenbeans
Katie's Homemade Apple Pie
DETAILS: We were all invited to come for a country dinner and to come in our 'finest country attire'. All the children were excited to dress up, and my husband did not disappoint! He made it so fun for the family. I believe this is one dinner the children will probably never forget in their lifetime. We started out very simple, but we were all blessed by the evening's events!

Chapter 20 Reviews
Bryce is in deep trouble now isn't he?
-Chapter 02-
Cheviot was awakened by his vu-phone. "Cheviot," he muttered, groggily. Then he saw who was on the phone. "Dr. Duncan. What's wrong?"
"It's Bryce Lynch, sir," Dr. Duncan replied. "He was attacked. I called an ambulance. He's on his way to the hospital for surgery right now."
"Does security have any idea who attacked him?" Cheviot asked.
"None," Dr. Duncan replied. "There's no record of anyone breaking into his studio. And I doubt it was self-inflicted."
"Thank you," Cheviot replied. He disconnected the call and phoned Murray.
"Murray," he said. "Get Edison and Theora. I need you to find out who attacked Bryce."
"Yes, Mr. Cheviot," Murray replied, feeling a sudden pang of worry. Bryce was the youngest member of his team. He was definitely a genius. But there was a naiveté about him that was inexplicable. He reached for his vu-phone and punched in Edison's number.
Edison Carter didn't like being woken up in the middle of a Saturday night. "Damn it, Murray," he grumbled. "It's the middle of the night."
"Bryce was just taken to the hospital," Murray told him.
Edison was suddenly out of bed and getting dressed.
"What happened to Bryce?" he asked as he rushed into the Control Room at Network 23 several minutes later.
"According to Dr. Duncan, he was attacked by an unknown assailant," Cheviot replied. "There's no sign of an attacker. But Bryce was badly slashed across his midsection."
"I hope he'll be okay," Murray said.
"What's his current condition?" Edison asked.
"Bryce was taken into immediate surgery," Cheviot replied. "They said they would call us as soon as it was over. Or..." he broke off, not even wanting to think about the other outcome. "God, please let him live."
"Theora," Edison suggested. "Look up incidents of unexplained slasher attacks. See if there's a pattern of some kind."
"Okay," Theora said, as she turned to her control computer and began to search.
"I'm going to the hospital," Cheviot told them.
"I'm coming with you," Edison said, hoisting his vidicam over his shoulder. "Theora, feed any information you find to me at the hospital."
Theora nodded and continued to look up the information Edison had asked for while Edison followed Cheviot to his car.

Member Since 2004
I gave the story only one star because I couldn't listen to any of it past the first two minutes! The narrator was terrible!
Was the author in a hurry to finish this book? Very strange, unfulfilling ending.
"Sylo 2"
Good follow-up to the first in the series. I know these are meant for 'younger' listeners but I enjoyed this one as much as the first. My only question is, when is the third in the series being released?
This did not seem like a Stephen King book to me. It could have been written by many 'mystery/thriller' authors. I am not sure what was missing, maybe that slight hint of something supernatural? I just don't know. The story was okay but I found it to be more than slightly predictable. I was looking forward to this book but must admit I was a little disappointed.
There was a little too much explicit gore and sex in this story for me to really enjoy it. Apart from that the book was quite good, but too much of the afore-mentioned things for me to give it a higher rating.
"Okay :("
This story was very similar to a John Saul novel I recently listened to. This one was okay but somewhat predictable and not a 'suspense' novel. In my opinion, not one of Dean Koontz's best by any means. I was a little disappointed by this one.
This book was not 'too bad'. It kept my interest to some degree but I found it to be somewhat predictable. There was not real 'mystery' and I didn't find it that 'suspenseful'. To be honest I skipped some chapters toward the end because I could figure out what was going to happen. No real surprises. If you want something easy to listen to on a long trip I would suggest this story. It will not distract you from driving too much because it is an 'easy' listen.
The longer I listened to this book the more involved I became with all the characters. Really good story and excellent narration. I cried my eyes out at the end.
"Cajun accent?"
The story was pretty good. A little too "romantic" for me but it was okay. The only problem, to me, was when the narrator attempted to speak with a Cajun accent it sounded more like an Irish accent :)
"Good Listen!"
I listened to this book while on a very long drive. It really helped the time pass quickly, but, at one point I got so engrossed in the story I discovered that my speed had dropped to 55 so be careful! Narration was good as was the storyline. Only question is, will there be a sequel to this book? The ending just kind of left me 'hanging'.

What are you waiting for?
24 hours; 241 patients; one stretched ER. That's what a California filmmaker found while shooting his documentary, "The Waiting Room." It's a behind-the-scenes look at a public hospital in Oakland, Calif. that's struggling to care for patients who don't have medical insurance. It's a very real scene and similar things happen every day in the Houston area. Filmmaker Peter Nicks is teaming up with San Jose Clinic to spread the word that more needs to be done for this situation.
"We're really excited to have Peter here. on this magnitude, something that is so important in the American eye right now and it was healthcare. People are talking about access to care," says Paule Anne Lewis, CEO of San Jose Clinic.
"I wanted to, in an apolitical, or non political way, bring their voices into it - by sharing what it's like on an average day to navigate your day without access to healthcare, health insurance", says Peter Nicks. He found heart-breaking stories of people trying to do their best, yet still struggling to get help.
Though Nicks felt that he already knew a lot about caretakers at the hospital because his wife had worked there, he learned a lot about them.
"I really was surprised by the dedication, professionalism, empathy that they had for patients. It's a very difficult situation - uninsured ranges everything from just lost their job to the indigent, mentally ill, drug addicted, homeless, but they dealt with everyone with compassion was remarkable, nonjudgmental," says Nicks. He is teaming-up with organizations, like San Jose Clinic, to help spread awareness of this problem.
San Jose Clinic has been serving the Houston area for 90 years. It is known for its quality care, provided by volunteers, to anyone regardless of their ability to pay, in a respectful, dignified manner. Lewis wants "The Waiting Room" to make a difference in our community.
"I hope there is a community conversation. I hope people start talking about - what do we need to do - whether national, state, local, to make sure the safety net system is properly equipped to take care of the people who will inevitably be without coverage, no matter what happens politically, no matter what happens in the election," says Lewis.
You can watch "The Waiting Room" at the Sundance Cinemas until Thursday, Oct. 25 at 3 p.m., 5 p.m., and 7:15 p.m.

While teams begin to put themselves in position to make some moves by the NBA trade deadline, one of those teams that is making some headlines for their trade inquiries is the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers are looking to add another piece to their championship puzzle as they prepare for a playoff push.
The man that they are showing interest in is Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett.
Sean Deveney of Sporting News reports:
Sources tell Sporting News that the #Clippers have contacted the #Celtics about Kevin Garnett. Offer would include Caron Butler and Beldsoe.
— Sean Deveney (@SeanDeveney) February 3, 2013
In order for any trade to go through, Garnett, who has a no trade clause, would have to agree to be traded to the Clippers. If he was not interested in the move to Los Angeles, then the interest from either side wouldn't matter one bit.
Boston needs to decide if they are ready to blow up the roster now that Rajon Rondo is done for the season. If they decide before the deadline that it is in the team's best interest to build for the future, they will likely look to move both Garnett and Paul Pierce.

New Rock Paper Scissors Moves
At July's Very Fresh, Raphael presented his custom expansion pack for Rock Paper Scissors. For those of you who couldn't make it to New York, he blogged it. And for those of you who don't read his blog, I'm reblogging it. - adam
As everyone knows, Rock crushes Scissors, Scissors cuts Paper, and Paper covers Rock, but there are other moves in Rock, Paper, Scissors that can really improve your game.
Water rusts scissors, Paper cleans up Water, and Water and Rock just kind of coexist, that's a tie.
Critic pans Rock as derivative, Scissors edits Critic, Critic drinks Water, and the Paper lays off Critic for drinking too much company water (times are tight for print journalism).
Nicolas Cage
Cage escapes from The Rock, swims across Water, gets face cut off by Scissors, uses Paper to find hidden treasure, and has a thriving career in spite of Critic.
Monster eats Nicolas Cage, Monster drinks Water, Monster eats Paper, Monster eats Scissors, and Monster eats Rock. Critic calls Monster unrealistic, then Monster eats Critic. Then Monster feels bad about eating so much and cries for a little bit.
Monster's Best Friend
Monster's Best Friend tells Monster, "No, you're not fat!" but secretly thinks Monster is fat.
Cute Boy Monster Goes To School With
Monster's Best Friend asks Cute Boy if Cute Boy likes Monster. Cute Boy says he likes Monster, but doesn't like like Monster. Monster gets sad and eats Cute Boy. Inside Monster's stomach, Cute Boy says: Hey, is that Nicolas Cage?

Ugh. Are you kidding me? I know we really shouldn't be all that shocked or anything, but Juan Pablo Galavis made another offensive comment, basically destroying any hope that was left of him actually having fans by the end of his season of The Bachelor.
He's pulled the language barrier card over and over again to dig himself out of sticky situations, and up until now, I've sort of bought the excuse. A little bit. (I mean, have you heard his English? It's really not great.)
But this time, he went and used the dreaded "R" word -- and I'm really not sure he's going to be able to recover from this one.
Here's how it all went down. Juan P. retweeted this "joke" that was posted by a fan.
Not every flower can save love, but a rose can. Not every plant survives thirst, but a cactus can. Not every retard can read, but look at you go, little buddy! Today you should take a moment and send an encouraging message to a f**ked up friend, just as I've done. I don't care if you lick windows, or interfere with farm animals. You hang in there cup cake, you're f**king special to me, you're my friend, look at you smiling at your phone! You crayon eating bastard you!
And then all hell broke lose, because his retweet was accompanied by, "JAJAJAJAJA LOVED IT …"
(Wait. He loved it? I thought he didn't even understand it. Whatever.)
As you can imagine, people went nuts after seeing this -- but then he dug himself into an even deeper hole by trying to defend himself.
First he reminded everyone that English isn't his thing. And then he told people they need to chill out and "enjoy jokes and sarcasm." Then he followed up with this little gem:
In Venezuela the R word is USED commonly and by NO means is to OFFEND anyone... #Relax #DifferentCulture #Respect
— Juan Pablo Galavis™ (@JuanPaGalavis) March 7, 2014
Relax? Um. Ok.
Let me see if I have this straight. According to Juan Pablo, referring to gay people as "more pervert" isn't offensive. And neither is calling someone a retard.
Got it. (Ess ok.)
At this point, the dude should probably just quit while he's ahead and skip the "After the Final Rose" special all together -- because he's going to be absolutely torn to pieces.
Heck, he might want to think about taking a little vaca from the U.S. at least until The Bachelorette starts and we have a new person to obsess over and loathe.
I hear Venezuela is nice this time of year. (Just a suggestion.)
Are you offended by Juan Pablo's latest comment?
Image via ABC
He can't speak English. He's not a true American. And he's gay which would be ok if he came to terms with it, but he hasn't. Just deport this loser.
I don't care for him really but honestly it's clear he does not have command of the English language. His missteps are no different than how people, including you, keep making fun of his speech with the "ess ok" comments. You're no better.
To the people saying that it's not a big deal and that we need to get over it: I'm guessing you don't have children or family memebers with special needs. All three of my children have special needs and one of my sons may not be able to ever live independently as an adult. Have you ever seen the tears and hurt on a sweet little boys face because someone called him the r-word? Have you seen how much pain it causes? Using the R-word doesn't just hurt people with intellectual disabilities, but it also hurt their friends and families. The thing is, when you use the R-word as slang, you really are hurting people with intellectual disabilities because of the negative connotation of your comment. The R-word has been associated with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities since its inception, so when you use the word in a negative context, you're putting down people with intellectual disabilities, regardless of if you mean to or not. I'm done with Juan Pablo-- he's crossed the line.
ZenMama3 - Bingo! Thank you for your wise words!!!
