We're not totally done with the nutrition logs yet and will continually be improving them, but these instructions will show you how to use the free and extra nutrition log features. This is a very powerful feature to track calories as it uses a database of >7,000 foods. Here are some features we will be discussing:
General Logging - all users
Where to access?
Entering Meal-time
Entering/Editing a Meal
Search/Select Foods
Food Labels
Serving Size Selection
'Save as meal' option
Custom Foods
Viewing the Nutrition Blog
Custom Reports
Reports and Graphs
Extra Features for Bronze+
Advanced Reports
Custom graphs of any nutrient
*You may want to read more about the database and interpreting the numbers from it.
1 Presets
Many users will have a publicly viewed training log, but some of those may want their nutrition 'details' private. To only privatize your nutritional details, go to your log control panel and select 'Nutrition Log is Private?'
Note: your total daily calories will still be seen in BBL Blogger and your training log if public. Users will not have access to your detailed breakdowns and reports.
2 General Logging
All members will be able to have access to the following items.
2.1 Where to access?
Members will access the nutrition logging screen by clicking on the 'Nutrition' link in their regular training log:
2.2 Entering Meal-Time
The first thing to do is select the meal-time of the foods you will be logging during a time period. Once the time is chosen, click on 'Add meal'
2.3 Entering/Editing a Meal
After selecting a meal-time (Note, you can select many meal-times at once before entering the foods you ate) you will see:
Click on 'Edit meal' of the time you want to edit. You will now see:
2.4 Search/Select a Food
You can search by general category or by specific foods. In searching by specific foods, try singular and plural versions of the word and synonyms (Pop ---> Soda) for different/better results. You can also search by brand-name (Kelloggs, Pizza Hut, McDonald, etc)
Using 'Milk' as an example:
Pressing 'Search' you will see a screen similar to this:
2.5 Food Labels
If you click on the link, you can see the food-label of that food in a new window before you add it to your log:
Switching the 'Qty' and serving size at the top will update the food label. Note, clicking on 'update' will only update the label, not your log.
When viewing an individual food label, you will see a link at the bottom, 'View Advanced Details'. Clicking on that link will show you a more complete nutritional composition for that food.
*Note - Many foods will not have 'complete' breakdowns of all nutrients. Any nutrient having an 'N/A' is treated as a 'zero' for summed report calculations. Example: Vitamin D is only reported for 477 foods in the database. If you want to track Vitamin D in your reports or graphs, it may not be entirely accurate depending on the food you log that include or does not include a value for that nutrient.
Therefore, if a nutrient is particularly important to you, be sure to check to see if it's reported in the foods you log by clicking on the 'View Advanced Details' link in the nutrition label.
Clicking on the 'Add' button will add the food to your log:
2.6 Serving size selection
You can now change the units or serving size you consumed:
Repeat the above procedures (2.2-2.6) to add foods eaten to your log.
2.7 'Save-as' meal option
In your food logging screen, you will see the 'Save as custom meal' button:
With this feature, you can save all foods with the servings you entered for that time as ONE meal. This makes things a lot easier if you routinely eat the same foods at the same time frequently.
Example: Every morning I make an espresso and add the same amount of beans, water, sugar and unsweetened cocoa. Initially you have to log all the foods separately from the database for a certain time. Clicking on 'Save as custom food' will now add everything together under a serving size of '1 custom food' and give it a name. If you happen to eat more of this custom food, just change the quantity when logging.
Clicking on this button will allow you to name the meal and it will then be available in your food selection screen in the 'custom food' dropdown next time you log.
2.8 Custom foods.
You can also create a custom food from scratch. This is useful if a food you use is not listed in the database. To do this, go to any page within the nutrition logging screen. You will see the following box in the bottom right:
Clicking on that brings you to this screen:
You can then re-edit a previous 'Save as meal' or create/edit a new custom meal/food.
By filling in the description and clicking 'go', or just hitting the link to a previous custom meal will take you to a screen where you can edit or re-edit the nutrition of that meal. Enter only what you need or know. All of it is not required. Then click 'Update food' and it is saved and, if a new food, will now be available in your custom food dropdown.
*Note: When entering a custom food, you will have to know what serving size corresponds to '1 custom food'. If you make your own custom nutrition drink from various nutrition powders and you are creating a custom food for it by adding up all the nutrients on the ingrediants labels and entering it into a custom food, just know that the amount you enter in for each nutrient corresponds to a certain serving size specific to you. When logging this food from your custom food dropdown, you will have to change the 'quantity' accordingly.
2.9 Viewing the Nutrition Blog
A complete food log breakdown of meals logged with time and daily totals is available at:
Selecting the Nutrition link will take you to your nutrition blog-view: (Note, Fats, Carbs and Protein are in the units of 'grams')
Even in this screen, you can click on the food link to see the nutrition label of it.
2.10 Custom Reports
Besides the general 'Carbs, Proteins and Fats' information available in the week, month and year reports, you can toggle via your training settings screen, many more nutrients to follow in your week, month and year reports.
2.11 Reports and graphs
You will see a 'nutrition' link in all calendar, week, month and year hover dropdowns. This link will take you to all nutrition reports and graphs.
Calendar - Total calories and fat, carbs and protein breakdown per day plus weekly, monthly totals.
Week, Month and Year - Total grams and grams of fat, carbs and protein breakdown per day, week, month or year.
Graphs - Access to a 'stacker' graph of caloric breakdown.
3 Extra Features for Performance Members.
3.1 Advanced Reports
You will note in your 'week, month and year' reports, the dates in the left column are linked. Clicking on that link will take you to an 'Advanced Report' screen detailing the totals of ALL the various nutrients during the time period of the link be it daily, a weekly or monthly total.
*Note, any individual food that has a 'N/A' value in the advanced food label will automatically get a 'zero' for a value in the calculations of all reports.
3.2 Additional and custom nutrient graphs.
In the nutrition graphs section, you will have access to an additional pie graph of the % carbs, proteins and fats you have ingested over any time period.
You can also select a third graph to display a custom nutrient (caffeine, water, vitamin A, etc.)

In Pro Wrestling besides terminated, there is a term wrestlers hate and that is botched. Botched means something that happened that was not scripted, when on live television a mistake of some sort happened. In the history of wrestling, botched moments have happened more times than one might think, whether it be a wrestler who messes up his lines, or a move goes wrong, or just something out of the ordinary happens. Give ECW credit that is another thing they gave birth to the fans that were so smart to the business in South Philly that they would chant "You Fucked Up†when they knew it was happening. Sean Oliver and the KayFabe crew this month give us another installment in Wrestling's Most….and this time it focuses on Botched.
I will go on record, this is a must have and must watch for all you wrestling fans. I think this is the best thing they have put out to date. It runs a little under an hour and covers what you the fans thought the Top 5 Botched moments were in the history of wrestling. Whether I agree or disagree with the list, I loved the five choices and to get insight about them. The people speaking out on these moments is such a wide range of personalities this time out including "Sunny†Tammy Sytch, Blue Meanie, X-Pac, Stevie Richards, Vince Russo, Kevin Nash, DDP, New Jack, Sandman, and etc.
I have to admit something, I was never a big Stevie Richards fan in wrestling but to hear him on this dvd speak out about the business, was something that made this dvd a must own. His words sound part bitter and so bone cutting honest. Blue Meanie is just Brian being the idiot he always has been. I did not like the Blue Meanie, but he has so many few times he gets to talk so that was no negative. For Russo to own up to some of the botched moments was refreshing, and should silent critics who claims he always passed the buck on blame. Nash and Sunny, do not really add anything but yet they take nothing away from it, they were cool to hear but they really did not add much to it. New Jack is gold, the man has that charisma that you never know what New Jack you are going to get in anything he does which always makes for entertainment.
Sandman though, is starting to come across like the next Iron Sheik I could not make heads or tails out of what he was offering up or saying, but I am sure he could not either. Bill Apter who I have so much respect for gives his insight on this and breaks character for the first time on camera and curses. I look at Bill Apter today with so much respect, just for what he brings to wrestling. I was a fan of the Apter magazines growing up, and I been trying to land Apter on the site for so long. Sean Oliver hosts it and does a funny job at trying to keep the tone and feel humorous and unsuspecting and does a great job. There was another guest on here which I will not talk about, it will ruin another main reason to buy this dvd because that is the first time I heard this person speak out about this botched moment, and it made it well worth the watch because you feel so bad for the person and their big moment that was a big botched moment.
I will say right now, Stevie Richards on YouShoot is going to be the most anticipated shoot of 2013. Stevie came across on this as a man who should have had a chance just to be himself and he would have got so over. I will spoil a comment he says on this, " hard work and true talent are not what today's wrestling is about, if that is the case why am I barely getting a working wage from TNA and this guy makes a million dollars a year and does little to nothing in his few appearances on the show". I will let you guess who he could be talking about, I will not ruin this must listen moment to you guys. I will say I have seen firsthand all five of these botched moments, and two were scary as all hell to watch and the other three were hilarious to remember. Though I will go on record, the night at CZW Cage of Death 6 when Jack Evans fell off the top of the cage and overshot the table and hit the cement is one of the scariest botched of modern age, along with the night New Jack and Vic Grimes fell off the railing and Vic landed on top of Jack as they fell 16 feet and hit cement was another scary botched moment. Who can forget when Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon were trying to go thru the glass and Shane's head hit that concrete so hard, not once but twice. I wish those would have made the list, because they are to me moments that you cannot look away from, but watching them happen are scary and just sick as all hell.
I really had fun with this hour and all wrestling fans would enjoy the hell out of this, and I am a huge fan of all the things Kayfabe put out as they are the true leaders of the shoot interview. Hell, they got Stevie Richards over and gave him something finally to work with that makes his personality come out and shine. For that alone, this dvd is a must watch.

text: This market is a beautiful, very lively place with many colors. Croatian food is generally very good, the fruit and vegetables are delicious, it is a very fertile land and sunny so it was logical to visit the site. The market starts right at the golden gate, when you leave the imperial enclosure of Diocletian's Palace. The fish market is on the other side of town, in a purpose built building, but this market is of vegetables, fruit, cheese and honey, outdoors there are other stalls that close each day at the hottest hours, and re-open at 6 o'clock. Prices are very low, and if you are lucky enough to be able to buy some do not miss the delicious cheeses of the region, a large cheese costs 10 euros or so and they are exquisite, the most famous is the one on the island of Pag, it is more expensive, 15 euros per kilo.

Tomahawks goaltender Truehl commits to NCAA DI Air Force
The Johnstown Tomahawks of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are proud to announce that Chris Truehl has become the second Tomahawks player to make an NCAA Division I commitment. Truehl, a 6-3, 185-pound goaltender from Stoughton, Wisconsin, has committed to the U.S. Air Force Academy for the 2013-14 season.
In early November, Truehl visited the Academy in Colorado Springs, where he was offered a full scholarship. He plans to major in business management and attend graduate school to pursue his Master of Business Administration.
"Air Force has an unbelievable campus, and the possibilities that go along with an education at the Academy are second to none," said Truehl. "The players seem to be great guys, and I will hopefully be able to compete for playing time right away."
Truehl has gone 3-2-4 with a GAA of 2.55 and save percentage of .916 in his 10 games this season with the Tomahawks. His impressive academic record, outgoing nature, and dedication to hockey have made him a well-rounded athlete.
"I was incredibly impressed with my trip," he said. "The coaches made it clear that my academics and my future are just as important a my college hockey career."
The Air Force Academy is a member of the Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA) and is coached by Frank Serratore. Their roster features more NAHL graduates than any other NCAA Division I program.

Instead of our former biweekly e-newsletter, we use Facebook posts, Twitter tweets and the occasional e-mail or blog to provide up-to-date practice information and the latest dental health care news, stories and humor . If you have any suggested topics for these communications, you can contact us from our website or respond when you recieve an e-mail.
Our team strives to improve your health and quality of life by focusing on the preventiion, diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with your teeth and gums. To supplement our personal care and practice newsletter, we purchased access to an online dental education library to help you learn more about dental problems and available treatments. To access its content, just click on the selections near the top or on the left side of this page.
Thank you for your interest in learning more about dental health care! Your increased dental knowledge will help us have a more effective partnership in meeting *your* dental health care needs.
Infants should be seen by our office after the first six months of age, and at least by the child's first birthday. By this time, the baby's first teeth, or primary teeth, are beginning to erupt and it is a critical time to spot any problems before they become big concerns.
Conditions like gum irritation and thumb-sucking could create problems later on. Babies who suck their thumbs may be setting the stage for malformed teeth and bite relationships.
Another problem that can be spotted early is a condition called "baby bottle tooth decay," which is caused by sugary substances in breast milk and some juices, which combine with saliva to form pools inside the baby's mouth.
If left untreated, this can lead to premature decay of your baby's future primary teeth, which can later hamper the proper formation of permanent teeth.
One of the best ways to avoid baby bottle tooth decay is to not allow your baby to nurse on a bottle while going to sleep. Avoid dipping pacifiers in sweet substances such as honey, because this only encourages early decay in the baby's mouth. Encouraging your young child to drink from a cup as early as possible will also help stave off the problems associated with baby bottle tooth decay.
Teething is a sign that your child's gums are sore. This is perfectly normal. You can help relieve this by allowing the baby to suck on a teething ring, or gently rubbing your baby's gums with the back of a small spoon, a piece of wet gauze, or even your finger.
For babies under the age of 4, teething rings and pacifiers can be safely used to facilitate the child's oral needs for relieving gum pain and for suckling. After the age of 4, pacifiers are generally discouraged because they may interfere with the development of your child's teeth.
Moreover, thumb-sucking should be strongly discouraged because it can lead to malformed teeth that become crooked and crowded.
Every child grows 20 primary teeth, usually by the age of 3. These teeth are gradually replaced by the age of 12 or so with a full set of 28 permanent teeth, and later on, four molars called "wisdom teeth."
It is essential that a child's primary teeth are healthy, because their development sets the stage for permanent teeth. If primary teeth become diseased or do not grow in properly, chances are greater that their permanent replacements will suffer the same fate. For example, poorly formed primary teeth that don't erupt properly could crowd out spaces reserved for other teeth. Space maintainers can sometimes be used to correct this condition, if it is spotted early enough.
Babies' gums and teeth can be gently cleaned with special infant toothbrushes that fit over your finger. Water is suitable in lieu of toothpaste (because the baby may swallow the toothpaste). Parents are advised to avoid fluoride toothpastes on children under the age of 2.
Primary teeth can be cleansed with child-sized, soft-bristled toothbrushes. Remember to use small portions of toothpaste (a pea-sized portion is suitable), and teach your child to spit out, not swallow, the toothpaste when finished.
Fluoride is generally present in most public drinking water systems. If you are unsure about your community's water and its fluoride content, or learn that it has an unacceptable level of fluoride in it, there are fluoride supplements your dentist can prescribe. Your child may not be getting enough fluoride just by using fluoride toothpaste.
Toothaches can be common in young children. Sometimes, toothaches are caused by erupting teeth, but they also could indicate a serious problem.
You can safely relieve a small child's toothache without the aid of medication by rinsing the mouth with a solution of warm water and table salt. If the pain doesn't subside, acetaminophen may be used. If such medications don't help, contact your dentist immediately.
You can help your child prevent oral injuries by closely supervising him during play and not allowing the child to put foreign objects in the mouth.
For younger children involved in physical activities and sports, mouth guards are strongly encouraged, and can prevent a whole host of injuries to the teeth, gums, lips and other oral structures.
Mouth guards are generally small plastic appliances that safely fit around your child's teeth. Many mouth guards are soft and pliable when opened, and mold to the child's teeth when first inserted.
If the tooth has been knocked out, try to place the tooth back in its socket while waiting to see our office. Remember to hold the dislocated tooth by the crown—not the root. If you cannot relocate the tooth, place it in a container of cold milk, saline or the victim's own saliva. Place the tooth in the solution.
First, rinse the mouth of any blood or other debris and place a cold cloth or compress on the cheek near the injury. This will keep down swelling.
For a fractured tooth, it is best to rinse with warm water and again, apply a cold pack or compress. Ibuprofen may be used to help keep down swelling.
If the tooth fracture is minor, the tooth can be sanded or if necessary, restored by the dentist if the pulp is not severely damaged.
If a child's primary tooth has been loosened by an injury or an emerging permanent tooth, try getting the child to gently bite down on an apple or piece of caramel; in some cases, the tooth will easily separate from the gum.
Irritation caused by retainers or braces can sometimes be relieved by placing a tiny piece of cotton or gauze on the tip of the wire or other protruding object. If an injury occurs from a piece of the retainer or braces lodging into a soft tissue, contact our office immediately and avoid dislodging it yourself.
Sealants fill in the little ridges on the chewing part of your teeth to protect and seal the tooth from food and plaque. The application is easy to apply and typically last for several years.

Britain's most senior police officer today said he feared London had been hit by a "co-ordinated attack" following a series of at least six explosions in the capital.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner said there appeared to have been no specific warning ahead of the blasts at several tube stations and on one bus this morning.
He added that at at least one of the sites, there were "indications" that explosives had been used.
Asked if police had received a warning of the blasts, Sir Ian said: "We have been on a very high state of alert. Of course if there had been a specific warning we would have dealt with it.
"We are not aware of any warning at the moment.
"We are concerned that this is a co-ordinated attack. We are aware that at least one of the sites certainly does contain indications of explosives.
"While it is a confused situation - it must be a confused situation with multiple sites like this - co-ordinated effort is slowly bringing order out of the chaos.
"The Metropolitan Police is co-ordinating this effort and within a matter of hours peace will be brought to the streets of London and we will know exactly what we are dealing with."

Ayatollah Khamenei: Negotiation With America is BannedSalem-News.com Foreign Affairs
Negotiations with America would mean paving the way for infiltration [of the United States] into the country's economic, cultural, political and security domains. - Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution
(TEHRAN / SALEM, Ore.) - "Negotiation with America is banned because such negotiation will not only have no advantage [for Iran], but will also entail numerous disadvantages," said Ayatollah Khamenei.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, met Wednesday with commanders and staff of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
Stressing that Iran is not opposed to negotiations in principle with countries, including European and non-European, he said, "But the issue is different when it comes to America because they (Americans) have come up with a definition of negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, [which] means infiltration and paving the way for imposition of their demands on Iran."
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution then pointed to cooperation and coordination between the United States and the inhumane Zionist regime, saying, "Negotiations with America would mean paving the way for infiltration [of the United States] into the country's economic, cultural, political and security domains."
The leader of the Islamic Revolution went on to highlight the dangerous plans devised by arrogant powers for the region and after noting that these powers would not shy away from resorting to very dangerous equipment and inhumane methods for killing innocent people.

I need some help for this isse.
- Scenario:
I introduced 4 students in the system USERS entity and then introduced the "Classification" in the USEREXTINFO entity.
When, for example, student 1 logs in into the application, it will have to enter the data, in "Students" web page, but the "classification" field must already be filled by default according to the information in the user extension table and after saving the whole information, it should be included in the "STUDENTS" entity.
- Database diagram:
Class (Values - A/B/C/D)
ClassId (Combobox from USEREXTINFO table)
YearId (Combobox from TEACHINGYEAR table)
Year (Values - 10º/11º/12º)
- The issue is:
How can I put the "Classification" field with the value that exists in the USEREXTINFO entity for Student 1?
Thanks in advance,
This is my database diagram:
To test you will have to choose 4 UserId that exist in your Users system entity and in the UserExtInfo entity you have to replace with your 4 UserIds. In my case I use my User's Id 216, 217, 218 and 219.
By Excel, I entered the data In the Student entity but only for the "UserId 216".
I log in with the "UserId 219" and I go to the Students menu and I see the list with the student data "UserId 216" and I see the detail and everything is fine.When I go to "Create a new student", I check that my "UserId=219" is correct but the remaining values are incorrect.
What I expected:- User field = User.Name- Classification field = UserExtInfo.ClassificationId- Email field = User.Email
If anyone can help me, I appreciate it.
The variables in the input fields of the form are not correct. All of them should come from: StudentForm.Record.Students
E.g. The variable of the user field should be: StudentForm.Record.Students.UserId
Hi José Costa,
Thanks for your answer.
I made the changes as you said but the results are still not as expected.
Log In with my UserId = 218
When I "Create a new Student" I have these results:
What I'm doing wrong?
Your aggregate which is the source for your form is not right. If you want a specific Student record given by the input parameter, then you have to filter the aggregate to give you the Student record whose Id is the same as the input parameter:
Also, for that form you do not need the entities User and UserExtInfo in the aggregate:
Tell me if that solved your issue.
Also, I do not know exactly what you are trying to do, but I guess you should review your data model. For example, if the relation of the entities User and UserExtInfo is a one-to-one relation then you should change the type of the Id of the UserExtInfo entity to be of User Identifier.
Thank you for getting me logged in.
And for a good forum. I'm happy to share the work, experience, fun to entertain. And a useful knowledge. For the collective.
Thanks for your answer and your solution but unfortunately it did not solved my issue.
I expected "User" field already with the Name (User.Name) filled in, "Classification" field with the Classification (UserExtInfo.ClassificationId) and the "Email" field with the email address (User.Email).
Regarding my data model, the relation of the entities User and UserExtInfo is a one-to-one.
If I understand, you sugest change the Data Type for "Id" field from UserExtInfo entity, correct?
but when I do that and try to publish I have an "Database Upgrade Error"
My mistake...
What you want is to get the Student information from the user that is logged on. Right? Assuming that you only have at most one record of Student for each record of User (ono-to-one relation), do this in the filter:
Let me know if that solves it.
Regarding the second issue, if in the database you do not have any meaningful data, you can do this:
This will delete all data in entity UserExtInfo and will bind all previous references to the old UserExtInfo in your application to the new entity. Don't mind the errors until after step 4. Then you have to deal with the remaining errors.
See if it helps.
Thanks again, but unfortunately it did not solved my issue.
Yes, when I create a "New Student" I want to get information from the student/user that is logged and that is in the User and UserExtInfo entity.
Logged in with UserId 219.
Students List Page - Only have this record on my Students entity
Students Detail Page - UserId 216 registration details
Let me ask you something:
- After the changes that I suggested for you to do in the aggregate and form, when you create a new user, does it show in the Students list?
- If yes, when you click on that student in the Student list, does the correct information show up in the StudentDetail?
Hi José,
Sorry for my answer delayed.
1 - If I create a new user and force the correct values for my user Logged, it show in the Students list.
2 - I only have two records in the list (UserId 216 and UserId 218) and both records, in details students page, give me the same information, in that case, the data related with user is logged in (UserId218). If I log off and log in with UserId 216, both records give me the details from UserId 216.
Hi Clara,
See the attachment for a possible solution.
I changed the aggregate as in the previous solution to get the Student record. And added logic such that, if the StudentId is NullIdentifier, then it fills the record from the aggregate with the remaining atributes (UserId, ClassificationId and Email).
See if that woks.
Thanks for you solution.

Candidate for sheriff applies for Chula Vista police chief
David Bejarano
Age: 52
Residence: Bonita
Elective office: Won a four-year term on the Chula Vista school board in November.
Law enforcement career: San Diego Police Department, 1979-2003, ending as police chief; U.S. marshal for San Diego and Imperial counties, 2003-05; one day as chief of investigations for the District Attorney's Office in 2004; has worked in private security since 2005.
Online: To review contributions and expenses of Bejarano's sheriff campaign, go to uniontrib.com/more/documents
The leading candidate in the San Diego County sheriff's race, at least in terms of fundraising, is also pursuing the open police chief position in Chula Vista.
Former San Diego Police Chief David Bejarano has asked nearly 300 people to contribute to his June 2010 campaign, raising $100,402.
But he has also been pursuing the chief's job in Chula Vista, where interviews wrapped up yesterday.
Asked about his application this week, Bejarano said, "I can't comment on that."
But Chula Vista police union President Buddy Magor said he has spoken to Bejarano about his plans.
"I've been in communication with David Bejarano, and he's expressed an interest in both the sheriff's position and the police chief position for Chula Vista," Magor said.
Pursuit of two top law enforcement positions smacks of indecisiveness, said competitors for the sheriff's post.
"You can do that, but where is your allegiance?" asked Bruce Ruff, who is running for sheriff and has raised $3,550. "Do you want to be a sheriff or do you want to be the chief of police?"
Bejarano served 24 years with the San Diego Police Department, culminating with his appointment as the city's first Latino chief from 1999 to 2003. He left the department to become U.S. marshal for San Diego and Imperial counties, holding that position for less than two years.
He worked as chief of investigations for the District Attorney's Office for one day but quit over conflicts with his desire to run for sheriff at that time. He went back to the U.S. Marshals Service before leaving again to work for a private security company in 2005.
Larry Breitfelder, who contributed $500 to Bejarano's campaign for sheriff, was surprised that Bejarano is a candidate for the two positions.
"He would be a competent sheriff and he would be a competent police chief," said Breitfelder, president of the Chula Vista Taxpayers Association and a City Council candidate in 2010. "But pursuing that office and applying for chief of police is a problem."
Bejarano lives in Bonita, an unincorporated community served by the Chula Vista Elementary School District. He was appointed to the school board in 2007 and elected in November 2008. If he becomes sheriff, he will have to end his term on the school board early.
He declared his candidacy for sheriff in April, the same month that Chula Vista Police Chief Rick Emerson announced that he would retire.
Jim Duffy, a sheriff's candidate who has raised $16,233, questioned Bejarano's intentions.
"Maybe he's not serious about either one," Duffy said.
Other candidates for sheriff include appointed incumbent Bill Gore and former Assemblyman Jay La Suer.
In Chula Vista, City Manager Jim Sandoval said he is moving quickly and wants to have a new chief in place by the end of summer. Currently, three police captains are running the department.
National City Police Chief Adolfo Gonzales said he is a finalist for the Chula Vista job. Gonzales has led National City's department for five years, and before that worked as an assistant chief for the San Diego Police Department.
"I'm excited about the opportunity," Gonzales said yesterday. "With my training, experience and enthusiasm, I would make an excellent chief of police in Chula Vista. It's my hometown."
An assistant chief from Mesa, Ariz., Mike Denney, confirmed that he also interviewed for the position. Denney said he did not know if he was a finalist.
Staff writers Mark Arner and Jeff McDonald contributed to this report.

The older generation has always looked at the younger generation with a mix of hope and fear. More often than not fear outpaces hope. Their children don't play by their forebears rules. In most cases they aren't even aware of them, or they disagree with them on some fundamental level, or in some cases they don't care enough to acquaint themselves with them. This eternal generation gap has manifested itself in various ways in film. The dark end of this spectrum is a genre of film that is best described as "youth gone wild". Hollywood excelled in these kind of productions during the 1950's with Laslo Benedek's "The Wild Ones", Richard Brooks' "Blackboard Jungle" and Nicholas Ray's "Rebel Without a Cause". It seemed that, at least according to these films, enemy number one during this superficially sunny and oppressively conservative post-war decade wasn't the Russians or domestic communist sympathizers, but our own children. This phenomena wasn't exclusive to the United States though. Japan during the 1950's was also looking aggressively forward, and anyone who wasn't on board with distancing the country from its crippling defeat in the war was a liability. Once again the youth were targeted in film as being one of the greatest dangers to this post-war reconstruction. Films like Takumi Furukawa's "Season of the Sun", Ko Nakahira's "Crazed Fruit" and Yoshishige Yoshida's "Good-for-Nothing" started a whole trend of "zoku" or "tribe" films, where unruly and bored youth rode roughshod over Japanese tradition. These "youth gone wild" films never really went away in notoriously homogeneous Japan. Teens and young adults continued to be portrayed in film as "the nail that sticks up and needs to be hammered down", as the old Japanese proverb goes; but only a handful of filmmakers chose to meet Japan's younger generation on its own terms. One of the most famous and accomplished examples of this is indie director Mitsuo Yanagimachi's debut 1976 documentary "God Speed You! Black Emperor".
Over a two year period Yanagimachi, then working as an assistant director at Toei Studios, assembled a guerrilla crew of cinematographers and set out to chronicle the lives of the teenage members of the Black Emperor, one of Tokyo's bosozoku, or "violent running tribes". These 17 to 20-year-olds make it a mission to tear through the streets of Japan's capital on their motorcycles blasting their horns, declaring their gang name through megaphones, scrawling graffiti on walls and generally misbehaving in the streets of Shinjuku. In our age of metal detectors in high schools and youth packing semi-automatic firearms, the antics of the Black Emperor seem tame, but in 1970's Japan they inspired outrage amongst good Japanese. Instead of taking the moral high ground position on these teens Yanagimachi decided to speak to them, and their -harried parents, individually. The true face of the bike gang is represented by 17-year-old Decko, a boy, who like so many in the gang, take on a lawless pose, but who are at heart just wayward kids who live at home with mom and dad. In Decko's case his parents have been a safety net, someone to come and make bail if he's taken in by the police for trashing a taxi cab (something Decko says he had no part in) or illegal gathering with the other Black Emperors. Scenes shot in Decko's parents' modest apartment don't show the fatigue of dealing with an out of control child... but again, by our present day standards, Decko is hardly a criminal sociopath.
This innocence mixed with antisocial tendencies is really where the electric charge of "God Speed You! Black Emperor" comes in and makes this a film that continues to stand the test of time 35-years after its production. Yanagimachi and his crew of five cinematographers splice together scenes of the Black Emperor members with the same reckless energy that they live their lives. Shave away the drug addiction and nihilism of the punk revolution that was happening in New York and London at around the same time and you have basically the same organic youth revolution -- one deeply suspicious of their parents authority and influence, one drunk on hormones, boredom and seemingly limitless possibility. Like the UK punks the Black Emperor employ the swastika (which was lifted from Asia to begin with) as a means to shock authority figures, and like the filmmakers who captured the US and UK punk phenomena Yanagimachi injects raw power into his film with inky black-and white footage and the latest rock n' roll. The Black Emperor aren't musical revolutionaries though. They are self-admitted "loafers" who, if they even have a social or political agenda at all, make their point by being absolutely non-contributing members of society.
Eventually the story of the Black Emperor gets dark, at least in terms of its members growing up and wishing to leave the gang, and its leader trying to prevent them with volleys of punches and kicks. Something in these boys knows that they can't stay outlaws forever. They probably realize that being penniless forever won't exactly bring them much luck with girls, who are entirely absent from gang life. It feels that if Yanagimachi had showed up a couple of years later he would have missed this explosion of rebellion. Thankfully that wasn't the case, and now we're left with this film that shows us that these kids aren't the enemy of society at all, but just a stage of societal growth. "God Speed You! Black Emperor" is not so much a documentary, but a timeless cinéma vérité drama that shows us a group of children teetering between ruin or the rest of their lives.

My name is Kim. This is me in the 10th grade, before I learned to embrace my curls. I remember thinking this was the best school picture I'd ever had made…EVER. I'm sure you can see why.
Around here I go by "Zoot" – derivative of a childhood nickname. I've been blogging with that name since January 2004. I think the transition to "Zoot" went something like this: Kim to Kimbo to Bozie to Bozoot to Zoot. I answer to all of the above. I had been using the name Zoot on message boards long before I ever thought about blogging…so it seemed an obvious alias when starting my own blog.
My oldest child is in college at the University of Montevallo. (We used to call him "LilZ" but since he's now a legal adult? That seems silly.) I married Donnie when E was 8 and we immediately tried to add to our family. This is when we entered the period of life I kindly refer to as…Gynecological Hell. After several miscarriages, one D&C, a diagnosis of endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and uterine fibroids – we finally had two children. Nikki (currently age 8) and Wes (age 5). I don't use E or Nikki's "real" names because they're so unique someone searching for them would end up on this blog. And those poor children do not want to forever be linked the blog where I talked so much about my uterus.
We had a second part of Kim's Gynecological Hell in 2012 when I was blessed with another pregnancy which I then lost at 11 weeks resulting in another D&C. I decided I couldn't handle any more loss emotionally and physically my ailments were making my life unlivable for too many days out of a month. I had an endometrial ablation and we bid farewell to the days of trying to have kids.
(But I said "Hello!" to a much better life where I don't have to stay locked up in my house for 3-7 days every month!)
Along with the 5 humans in our home, we have two cats and one dog. We lost one of our beloved dogs, Cisco, in November 2008. (Entry here.) It was a rough several months as we then lost my Dad in March 2009 (Entry here) to a short but painful battle with cancer. I write a lot about grief over that loss here. We lost another of our dogs Lil' Girl in 2012 after living a long 14 years. It's weird only having one dog now. She often gets two treats because I forget Lil' Girl is gone and putting one back after I remember is too depressing.
I was born into a Catholic family and raised in Catholic schools. I wore hideous wool plaid skirts and/or jumpers for TWELVE years. I am grateful for this upbringing because it made me who I am today. However…that person is currently no longer Catholic. I am still very spiritual and like to talk about religion and faith.
I proudly live in Huntsville, AL. It has every part of the South I love (food, hospitality, weather) with a nice mix of culture and science thanks to the huge presence of Rocket Scientists associated with Missile Defense and NASA. I like my tea iced and so sweet it's toxic. I call shopping carts "buggies" and I often strike up conversations with people standing in line at the grocery store. I do call soft drinks "sodas" though – one of the few things that are NOT stereotypically southern. That and my political leanings: I lean liberal by supporting reproductive rights and marriage equality. However, I do not discriminate. I have several conservative friends and most of my family is sufficiently ashamed of my left-leaning opinions.
I started getting in shape with boot camp in October 2010. Then, in February of 2011 I thought I'd try to train for a pretty famous 10K around here. These two things combined made 2011 the Year Kim Got In Shape. I've found a great groove of running and fitness and I've never felt so good about myself. I've only lost about 20lbs on the scale, but the changes in my body go way beyond that number. I've run several marathons, ultra-marathons, and even started doing triathlons since then. This is just the new normal for me.
I currently put most of my pics on instagram. I am on Facebook but tend to keep it to a "People I Know In The Real World" kind of thing for various reasons. I am also on twitter if that's your beef, or tumblr where I geek out a lot. Otherwise? My email is email@example.com. I'm kinda crappy about responding…I'll preemptively apologize for that.

Aquilegia hybridize very readily, so any seed of garden origin is highly suspect, and the possibility of hybrids in the wild (when a seed-grown plant from wild-collected seed doesn't fit the species description) must also be considered. The photo doesn't provide any provenance for the plant, but given that the photographer is European, and the plant range is a small one within western U.S. mountain states, it may well be grown from seed of garden origin.
More importantly though, the plant in this photo doesn't match the characteristics of Aquilegia saximontana, which are explained in this thread at the NARGS forum:
Note that I've listed each ID discussion separately, but they are all within one thread, so by clicking on the first one and reading along, you (say, the species ID moderators?) can see the entire chain.
Could this photo please be moved to the general "Columbine" photo section?
The other photos here are quite suspect too, but don't provide as clear a view of the spurs on those plants.

Brrrrrrrrrr….. We got up early the next morning to find that the weather had turned colder still. It was Monday 11 June and this was our last morning in the delta. The fast flowing water of the delta panhandle looked cold and uninviting
Fortunately Vermaak, assisted by Bjorn and Sam, the houseboat captain, soon had coffee on the boil and a hot breakfast prepared.
Suitably sustained we stood around enjoying the cameradrie and our last few minutes on the houseboat before leaving to go back to land.
This is the sign advertising the houseboats on the Okavango. We enjoyed our stay on the houseboat and soon forgot about the discomfort of not always having hot water to shower.
After an hour of skimming along at high speed in an aluminium boat, we were cold and stiff. The ride back took less time as we were travelling in a southerly direction, with the flow of the water. We slowly disembarked at Swamp Stop.
This is the quirky bathroom at Swamp Stop. An upside down mokoro has been turned into a base for hand basins.
We continued on our journey exploring the region around the Okavango Delta. We turned off the main road and travelled 35 km along a very poorly maintained gravel road to Tsodilo Hills, a World Heritage Site that is known for being the only hills in Botswana as well as its famous Bushmen paintings. The dark green trees on either side of the road are Zambezi teak (was previously known as Rhodesian teak) trees and are known for their hard wood. Many have been cut down to make railway sleepers and furniture.
Tsodilo Hills are 400 m above the ground level. There are four hills, the tallest is the male hill, the next is the female hill and the small ones are the children and the grandchildren
We left our vehicles under the trees in the parking area.
Douwe from Mpafa Tours introduced us to our guides who would take us on walk to the Bushmen paintings.
We saw some of the 4500 Bushmen paintings that this area is famous for. Today Tsodilo is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is sometimes referred to as the 'Louvre of the Desert'.
The painting of a whale and a penguin indicates that the Bushmen in this area travelled as far afield as the Namibian coast.
It is quite apt that this rock is the shape of Africa as this area gives an archaelogical record of 100 000 years of changes in this part of the Kalahari desert.
This is the entrance to one of the Bushman caves.
This is one of many pieces of pottery on display in the small museum at Tsodilo Hills.
After a picnic lunch is the car park at Tsdilo Hills, we continued our trip towards the Namibian border. We were going into the Caprivi Strip, the narrow strip of land attached to the north eastern part of Namibia. Before it was colonised this area was called Itenge.
When the British took control of Bechuanaland (now Botswana) in the late 1800's, this strip of fertile land was part of the Bechuanaland Protectorate. In 1890 Queen Victoria gave this area to Germany and in return the Germans dropped their claim to the island of Zanzibar. This is how this little strip of Bechuanaland became part of German South West Africa and later independent Namibia.
The South African Army was stationed in this area in the 60's and 70's and the willife suffered as a result. This area now has four Game Reserves and the wildlife has recovered substantially. We were greeted by a herd of rare roan antelope just across the Namibian border.
We turned off the main road at about 4.30 pm onto a dirt road leading to our camp fot the next three nights. This part of the Caprivi has many Jackal Berry trees.
Ngepi Camp is situated on the upper reaches of the panhandle of the Okavango delta. This area boasts over 500 species of birds and is a birders' paradise.
We left our vehicles in the car park and gathered at reception to be allocated our accommodation.
Our tree house was built from wood and reeds and supported by the branches of a large Jackal Berry tree on the very edge of the delta.
The bedroom was very comfortable. We noticed the thick green blanket at the bottom of the bed. This was going to be very welcome as we could feel the temperature dropping.
The basins were made of aluminium. This is Marion's bathroom and it had a reed wall.
Our bathroom overlooked the river and had no wall around the basin area.
The shower had a reed screen.
We enjoyed the view from the wooden patio overlooking the delta. We were warned that hippos wander about in the evenings.
A local fisherman stopped near our camp to sell us some fish that he had caught. We turned down his offer as Vermaak was busy preparing our dinner.
As darkness fell, we heard hippos grunting very close by and it got very, very cold.

"Whenever I meet even a 'foreigner',
I have always the same feeling:
'I am meeting another member of the human family.,
This attitude has deepened
My affection and respect for all beings.
May this natural wish be
My small contribution to world peace.
I pray for a more friendly,
More caring, and more understanding
Human family on this planet.
To all who dislike suffering,
Who cherish lasting happiness -
This is my heartfelt appeal."

Good morning, Father!
Thank you for giving me the night off last night, getting into nature just a little bit, and having a chance to write out and talk out some things inside me. Please let peace be in our house today, help my daughter cope with her new diagnosis, and help us all to be supportive and understanding. Please work your will in our lives, and prepare us for the next many months, getting us ready for all our life changes. Thank you for caring for us, Shepherd!
1 John 3:18-24 ERV
Little children, we must stop expressing love merely by our words and manner of speech; we must love also in action and in truth.
This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and how we will be able to keep ourselves strong in his presence.
If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows everything.
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in the presence of God.
Whatever we request we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
And this is his commandment: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus the Messiah, and to love one another as he commanded us.
The person who keeps his commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. This is how we can be sure that he remains in us: he has given us his Spirit.
Lord, I thank you that you have shown my friend M how you ARE using her, given her a ministry of love, reaching out to others with comfort and encouragement and whatever help she has to give. I ask you to let her giving return much joy to her heart, enough to keep her warm inside, even on the coldest of days. Father, show her your mercy and grace, strengthen her heart and give her the boldness of the Lion of Judah. Help her remember she is never, ever alone. 😀
Father, I also lift my husband up to you. He seems very weary and heavy, burdened by his work and the cares of this world. I ask you to give him a restorative day off tomorrow, and let today be peaceful and quickly over for him, so he can come home and rest and rejuvenate. Father, please help me to show him love and be patient with him and a good helpmeet. Show me how I can minister to my family, and to anyone else you put before me. Let your love shine through me like a candle flame, warming those around me and being a source of cheer and goodwill. Thank you for choosing me, Father!

Dark Side by PT Deutermann – Audiobook Review [djinn24]
Larry reviews the book and audiobook of Dark Side by PT Deutermann, read by Dick Hill. Published on St Martin's Press. Originally published on December 1st, 2002
A dark grim thriller about a murder at Annapolis, a smashing good read – The Founding Fields
A dark thriller set at Annapolis, the United States Naval Academy. A Midshipman plebe lands in a plaza from six stories up. At first ruled an accident, things get really weird when they find the Midshipman is wearing the panties of Midshipman first class Julie Markham. Suicide? Murder? That's what the NCIS and the security team have to figure out. Her father, Ev Markham an Annapolis graduate himself, fears that the Academy's administration, referred to as the 'Dark Side' by the Midshipman, will try to scapegoat his daughter to avoid a scandal. Julie's reputation, athletic achievements, and high academic standings make her an unlikely suspect but Ev is taking no chances and hires high-powered attorney, Liz DeWinter to defend her from the Naval Crime Investigative Service or NCIS as they complete their investigation in the matter.
This was the first book of PT Deutermann's that I read, but his 6th published. I remember picking it up off of a bookshelf jammed full of free books sent to us in Iraq from supporters. The title and cover had me intrigue and I decided to give it a chance, at the time I really was not into mystery or thriller books. I was glad that I did as Dark Side really introduced me to a whole new genre of books as well as the author that I have grown to admire, PT Deutermann. Dark Side really starts off with a bang, literally as the Midshipman smashes into the ground. He does a good job introducing you to the various characters as they come up, giving you enough background to really understand them. The book does get slightly draggy towards the middle, but never enough to make me want to put it down, or stop listening to it. The ending is what sealed the deal for me, it really was top notch as the various plot twists are revealed and flow together. He writes from shifting points of view, mainly in 3rd person, but he does the arch-nemsis in 1st person in the few parts that he is in. Some people can find this overwhelming but to me it kept the story interesting. The one main down point is he uses a lot of military jargon in this book, which is daunting for non-military folks to understand, but can be cleared up with a quick Google search if you find yourself stumped.
I recently signed up for Audiobooks.com and they have all of his books available so I decided to give them a relisten for old time sake.
The audiobook is narrated by Dick Hill who does an exceptional job on this book. He is able to change his voice enough to give all the various characters a unique personality. You know who he is speaking as, even when he does not mention their name. He is definitely a voice actor that given good material can read a story and make it better then just reading it.
Relistening to this was a blast from the past for me, I honestly enjoyed it the second time more then the first. Having the truly talented Dick Hill read a great book by PT Deutermann was a treat to say the least. I give the book itself an 8/10, and narration a 9/10. If you are a fan of military books, mysteries, thrillers or just need a good book then this would be one for you.

Dog researchers believe the Pit Bull aka American Staffordshire Terrier, came from the same lines as the Staffordshire Terrier. The original crossing of breeds started with an older type of Bulldog with some older types of other Terriers. Thus we have the dog currently known as the Bull Terrier.
These dogs became popular for individuals who enjoyed fighting dogs. Dog fighting was very popular despite the fact that it was illegal. North America started to see many Staffordshire Terriers inthe late 1800s when they were brought over specifically for entertainment … dog fighting as disgusting as that is. It was at this time that they became known as the American Bull Terrier.
Americans seemingly wanted to create a larger, more aggressive version of this dog. Thus they crossed the English and the American versions, creating a new breed of dog that was recognized by the AKC in 1936. The official breed name was American Staffordshire Terrier (Pit Bull).
The American Staffordshire Terrier can have an aggressive temperament if they feel defensive, especially in response to protecting its family. Needless to say, these pets make an excellent watchdog and will protect its owners and property. They also have shown a very strong prey drive for smaller animals. Obedience, exercise and proper socialization is a must.
Overall, they are a happy animal when raised properly. They love to run and play and be with their family. They need to be positively exposed to as many different things as possible. And, we need to keep them out of the hands of the nefarious, crooked element who wants to tie them up on big logging chains, fight and treat them inhumanely.
Thankfully, there are many rescue and humane organizations who are trying to help these mistreated dogs. Please consider giving a few dollars to these groups as it will help the breed overcome its position just as the Doberman, German Shepherd and other "aggressive" breeds have in the United States.
Taking Care Of Your Pit Bull
Pit Bulls need plenty of exercise on a daily basis. Long walks mixed with obedience. Although these dogs can live outdoors if necessary, it is preferred is they live in the home with its family. Grooming and upkeep is easy. Vet visits should be regularly scheduled.
Health Information
The American Staffordshire Terrier lives an average of 12 to 14 years. Hereditary breed specific health concerns can be CHD, PRA, and cerebellar ataxia. Minor issues are elbow dysplasia, hypothyroidism, and heart disease.
Sometimes allergies and cruciate ligament rupture can occur. Veterinarians recommend that you have your dog checked for hip and elbow problems, eye issues, thyroid, and cardiac.

Nearly every parent is disappointed and angry when the marriage fails. Some parents do a good job of harnessing the emotions unleashed by divorce. Some do not. Most parents understand the importance of keeping kids out of the middle and they do a fairly good job of honoring this responsibility. Some parents, though, are so blinded by rage that they lose sight of their children's need to love and be loved by both parents. These parents enlist children as allies in a battle against the other parent. Through persistent bad-mouthing, lies, exaggerations, overlooking positives, and drum-beating negatives, they manipulate their children to reject the other parent in the same way a politician paints a unfavorable picture to alienate voters from the opponent.
Children who absorb the lesson of hatred suffer what is known as parental alienation. They pull away from a formerly loved mother or father, and often an entire extended family, leaving the rejected relatives puzzled over what they might have said or done that caused a total rupture in relations. Some hurt parents lose their temper with a child who either refuses to communicate or does so only with utter contempt. Before assigning equal blame to the rejected parent we need to differentiate between a pattern of mistreatment and isolated lapses of judgment, between a cause of the alienation and a desperate, helpless, ultimately inadequate response..
Alienators are known to do these things:
- Doesn't inform you of upcoming school activities (especially unexpected ones)
- Expresses no enthusiasm for fun events you're doing with the child (vacations, amusement parks, etc)
- Refers to you by your first name in their home (Dad becomes "David;" Mom becomes "Julie")
- Accomplishes a post-visitation shakedown, extracting as much info as possible to find negatives
- Hands the phone directly to the child when you call, avoiding even civil conversations with you
- Pops anti-depressant pills (as many have a history of depression)
- Never calls you when the child is sick or taken out of school
- Teaches the child adult things to tell you, such as "I don't feel comfortable about the duration of our summer visitation, Dad" or "You're a One Trick Pony, Dad"
- Labels themselves the "good" parent; labels you the "bad" parent
- Tells the child in vivid detail how he or she was victimized by you (while taking no blame at all for the divorce)
- Teaches the child how to lie to you (coating their little hearts with false malice and scorn)
- Diminishes your extended family's worth
- Neglects to have the child call you for your birthday, on New Year's Eve, or other important dates
- Refuses to help the child reach and call/email/mail cards on relatives' birthdays on your side of the family tree
- Rarely if ever a call to you on Father's Day or Mother's Day on behalf of child
- Never gets the child excited about seeing you
- Reminds the child of all that he or she will be missing while with you and away from them
- Inflicts his or her unhappiness onto the child (as alienators are deeply unhappy people)
- Attempts via a lawyer to reduce visitation to that even below family court minimum standards
- Takes the child out of state without a peep, while demands precise details whenever you travel with them
- Views any event in the child's life– a distant Aunt's birthday, a friend's birthday, etc– as more important than their time with you
- Teaches the children from their prior marriage to despise you
- Is jealous of anything fun and memorable you do with the child (as they view the good times as a threat)
- Gripes about things you're doing as a parent to the child, but says nothing to you about it
- Lacks a filter, spilling any adult topic into the child's head

Poem: To Her Demise
Today's little piece sprang out of boredom, and so I asked myself: Why not write a short piece about Izobella's demise and resurrection? And so here it is.
To Her Demise
Razor peaks beetle above the entrance
To her memorial tomb where I wait
In patient darkness for the sound of her
Breath, for the sound of her feet sliding
Along polished marble flagstone.
Waiting under flickering torchlight,
Bottles of potent virgin's blood, laced with sighs,
Ripens in the cold of her tomb, which seems now
An eerie extension of her immortal will.
Candlelight dances now on the frescoes
Of her past, colors now muted past care,
But the likeness bears testimony to
Her delicate pale shoulders, bosom, and
Those wonderously appealing lips.
Yet those those lips, those lips of my goddess is
What always brings me back!
Faded rose petals, petals hiding carnivorous
Vampiric fangs, which permit only a shallow kiss.
A drop of blood from those waiting bottles,
And at long last, I hear her tomb's cap burst asunder;
I hear her wrappings sigh to the floor, and should
I turn, I would see my risen Izobella, body slack as
Death, steal up on me from the shadows themselves,
Long fingernails on my throat, tongue on my flesh,
Fangs piercing through to the blood that flows underneath.

What's the point of toes, anyway?
They don't really do anything, even if they're freakishly long like mine, and they really hurt if you somehow open the bathroom door over your big toe in the morning. And since I was in a hurry to get ready for work, I just put my sock on over it, and my shoe basically filled with blood over the course of the day. Really, it's a terrible wound, and it hurts a lot, so I'm quite entitled to whine about it.

Yellow Mangosteen is a round fruit with very tart yellow segments. The high acidity makes it ideal for jams and jellies but removing the seed and skin can be time consuming. Easier to grow in the subtropics than the purple mangosteen, but the flavour is altogether different. The tree grows well in full sun and shade. It will tolerate and continue to fruit heavily in drought conditions. The tree is very attractive, with large drooping leaves and a layered form. The fruit can reach 8-10 cm in length and looks highly ornamental when in the tree.

Question & Answer
Would they fruit in pots and i live in north ryde sydney From:
This one is better grown in the ground as it is quite a large plant 6-8 meters when grown in the ground. If grown in a pot it is going to stay small however I am not sure how it would go being a much larger plant. Not recommended but perhaps worth a go if it is something you are passionate about as an experiment. In relation to climate they are very sensitive to frosts so you would need to protect them especially while they are young.

Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe
Eating granola has many benefits. Granola a type of breakfast cereal consisting of whole grain oats, nuts and dried fruits. It has plenty of fiber and can help lower your cholesterol. As a whole grain, it naturally contains more vitamins and mineral than the average refined cereal. The oats are commonly toasted with a small amount of oil and sweetener, giving the cereal its texture. The fun is in making your own crunchy creation!
This Fall-festive granola belongs in the pantry of every pumpkin spice lover.
Pumpkin Spice Granola
Ingredients and Method (Yield: 4 servings)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup pepitas or pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Toss the rolled oats, pepitas, peanuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom and dried cranberries into a large bowl. Glob in the pumpkin puree, and drizzle the maple syrup, honey, and vanilla extract over the mixture.
Stir mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula until all of the oats, nuts, and fruit are fully laminated with the pumpkin, maple, honey and vanilla. If you prefer a hands-on approach, crumble the mixture with both hands until everything has been coated evenly.
Transfer the oat mixture to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake at 325°F for 35-40 minutes or until granola is toasted to a golden brown, stirring the mixture about every ten minutes to ensure each oat and nut is toasted evenly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Once the granola is completely cool, sprinkle over everything from yogurt parfaits to baked apples.
Granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has been officially unveiled at a Samsung Unpacked event at IFA 2013 with a new design and larger screen. With dimensions of 151.2x79.2x8.3mm the Note 3 is actually slimmer and thinner than the Galaxy Note 2 despite boasting a larger 5.7-inch display. Not only that, it's only 168 grams - 12 grams lighter than its predecessor. The first thing many people will notice is the display, bumped up to 5.7 inches the screen is a Full HD Super AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1920x1080. With 386 pixels packed into every inch, you can read text that's sharper than the printed page, see images more vivid than the highest quality photo magazine, and watch videos come to life in vibrant 1080p HD.
When playing local content, the Note 3 impressed us by supported versatile video and audio file types/formats:
Video Supported:
Codec: H.264, MPEG-4, H.263, VC-1, WMV7, WMV8, Sorenson Spark, MP43, VP8, HEVC
Format: 3GP (MP4), WMV(ASF), AVI, FLV, MKV, WebM
Recording & Playback: Full HD (1080p), UHD
Audio Supported:
Codec: MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB/WB, Vorbis, FLAC(*), WAV(*)
(*) Ultra High Quality Audio (~192KHz, 24 bit) support
If, however, Galaxy Note 3 refuses to play a video, it could be due to one or more of the following reasons:
- Unsupported codec (e.g. AC3)
- Huge file size (that exceeds maximum 4GB file size)
- High bitrate (e.g. camera footage taken at 18-25mbps)
- Unsupported video format (e.g. *.vob format)
- Protections (e.g. iTunes videos)
In order to play all MKV, AVI, VOB, TiVo, MPG, WMV, FLV/F4V videos on Galaxy Note 3 properly, you'd better convert videos into Galaxy Note 3 supported video formats first before transferring them to Note 3. Along with some help from third-party software, this can be done effortlessly.
The best program I can recommend for encode/re-encode videos for Galaxy Note 3 is Brorsoft Video Converter (available for Windows or for Mac users), a quite fast (NVIDIA CUDA & AMD AAcceleration support) yet powerful high-quality video converter, player and editor. If you're getting video playback errors or issues with Galaxy Note III, chances are you already installed this great utility. If not, download it from below.
Converting MKV/AVI/VOB/TiVo/MPG/FLV to MP4 for Galaxy Note 3
Step 1-> Launch the Video Converter for Galaxy Note 3, and import your source materials. Batch conversion is supported so that you can add multiple files for conversion at a time.
Step 2-> Click "Format" bar, here I recommend you "Samsung > Samsung Galaxy Note(*.mp4)". The output videos could fit on Galaxy Note 3 perfectly.
Step 3-> (Optinal) If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. Remember the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss. According to my experience, for watching videos on the Galaxy Note 3, 720p with 1500~2000kbps is just all right. Below is the best video format settings for Galaxy Note 3 per my experience.
Step 4-> Finally, Press the "Convert" button to start MKV/AVI/WMV/VOB/FLV/MPG/F4V to Galaxy Note 3 MP4 conversion.
There, now you know how to get your movies onto the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 so that you can watch them on that gorgeous green! Keep in mind that some of the settings can be tweaked to improve the video quality but it's a balance between quality and size. Using the settings we suggested, a 74MB MKV file encoded to a 25MB MP4 file.
If you are considering to get a powerful all-in-one tool to convert videos, Blu-ray movies and DVDs to your Galaxy Note 3 or other portable gadgets at the same saving time and effort, the all-in-one Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate program will a nice choice for you. If you are running a Mac OS X computer, iMedia Converter Mac is the alternative.
