Just updated to 3.3.1 of the plugin. The thumbnails under my slider which yesterday changed the slider image, today take you to the promotion page (after very briefly flashing up the changed image).
This behaviour makes the thumbnails useless for slider navigation - the reason I was planning to use this plugin.
Is there an option I have missed somewhere which will switch off this behaviour or is it now an integral feature of the plugin?

Who is afraid of Columnstore Indexes? (Michael Zilberstein, DB-Art)
This talk describes new SQL Server 2012 feature called "columnstore index". In this session we will learn about the differences between columnstore indexes and B-Tree indexes we are used to work with. We will see when it is best to use and when not to use this new index. We will cover limitations that columnstore index imposes on the tables that use it and how to live with those limitations. Like in all my sessions, I won't let you go without some internals – how columnstore index is organized on a physical level and how Query Processor works this new type of index. And of course Demos, Demos, Demos…

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This track is definately a different experience but good. Nice Screamish, and I recognize a lot of classic FL Studio sounds. It's a bit pre-fab but who cares. You're just getting started. It's certainly a better piece than my first submission.
It's got a dance main theme, feels a little like DnB at a couple spots but that's not a bad thing. I could certainly see myself screamin' down the freeway, listening to this track and cutting through traffic, and switchin' lanes and stuff. Good piece.
Look forward to more.

Wayne Shorter at 80

INTERVIEW: Joe Lovano, Dave Douglas Quintet Score Big with Wayne Shorter Composition
Wayne Shorter composed a suite called "Sound Prints" for this fifty-sixth Monterey Jazz Festival. Rather than performing it himself, Shorter asked saxophonist Joe Lovano (the MJF Artist-in-Residence) and trumpeter Dave Douglas (the MJF Showcase Artist) to play the music. And they did.

Reise Anfang Februar mit Familie (junge Oma, Eltern, Baby) für eine Woche - Appartement sehr zu empfehlen! Gute Lage, alles zu Fuss zu erreichen, nur Anreise mit Koffern ein bisschen beschwerlich, da bergauf auf Kopfsteinpflaster ;)
Sehr, sehr netter Empfang mit guter Erklärung, wo was zu finden ist. Möglichkeit bei Problemen anzurufen (die wir nicht genutzt haben, da wir keine Probleme hatten!).
Appartement selber recht hellhörig, aber gross genug, um sich nicht auf den Füssen zu stehen. Kein super Luxus, alles basic-mässig eingerichtet aber völlig ausreichend für einen Stadtbesichtigungsurlaub, bei dem man ja sowieso nicht so viel "zuhause" ist.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden dieses Appartement weiter empfehlen!
Buona posizione, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo e Ricardo gentilissimo e disponibile per ogni tipo di richiesta.
Séjour très agréable dans le quartier de l'Alfama . Appartement propre et suffisant pour quatre personnes (2 couples) . Tous les commerces sont autour . Des bars et restaurants typiques dans les ruelles ainsi que des possibilités de Fado à quelque mètres de l'appart . Super à faire et à refaire
Although smaller than expected, it was a very nice appartement! Everything was in good condition, the location in the old Center of Lisbon is really good. And Luis was very kind and gave as a lot of useful information to explore the City.
We enjoyed our stay here in this nice neighborhood. The appartment seems to be new in use and is equipped well and very spaceous. We experienced some difficulty with electricity in the house, but all in all it was a good place to stay.
Nice and beautifull appartment in the centre of Lissabon. The room is clean and comfortable. The hostes Christiane is very kind, speaks english and likes to inform you about the city. We have enjoyd it.
We loved our stay here!!! Perfect location- short walk to Rossio and Martim Moniz. We walked everywhere: convento do carmel, feira do ladra, panteao and the castello. Great restaurants around- Brazilian on Calcada santana and tasco pimbolina.
So coY and kept cool for sleeping.
Celeste was so helful and friendly. We loved her!
Only thing is the bed is a bit hard but that is it.
Beautiful apartment, well located and comfortable. We had some problems on our way to Lisbon so we arrived late, but they helped us with everything and were really comprehensive.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment is very cosy and beautiful. It is identical to the fotos. Cristóvão is a very friendly person. He gave us some tips what you have to see in Lisbon. He also explain us how to get to different points of the city. Alfama is a very nice and calm part of the city, so that you can sleep very good. Across from the apartment is a public WC. The woman who works there is very friendly, but talks any time ;-) There weren`t so many people who use the public WC, so that the street ist very quiet. You have a wonderful view, when you left the Apartment. We love Alfama and we would like to go there again. Thank you very much Cristóvão.

It's not often I get invited on live national television to talk about my knickers. But that's what happened when The Marilyn Denis Show brought me in to chat about the best ways to sell stuff online.
And no, I didn't try to sell my knickers on TV. Promise.
But I did talk about selling Chloe's used cloth diapers, clothing, and baby gear online. I also shared my selling tips for earning some cash from the stuff hiding in your closet. You know, that dress you wore only once and those fancy stilettos you refuse to wear EVER? Yeah, that stuff.
The segment also addressed entrepreneurs who have a product to sell with ways to reach a market online.
Since I had a blast squawking about a whole lotta stuff with The One and Only Ms. Marilyn Denis, I thought you guys might like to see my tips too. Enjoy!
Can you really make money online?
Yeppers. The second-hand economy is the first place most families can tap to both declutter and earn a little cash. If you have gently-used clothing, gear, collectables, or housewares sitting around the house, there is opportunity to cash-in online.
Canadians love second-hand goods. OK, Americans love second-hand shopping too. According to a big Kijiji study, Canadians sold 1.85 billion items in 2015 and earned an average of $883 from these sales. Here's where to get started:
Post your stuff on Kijiji
Kijiji.ca is a free classifieds site that boasts a large yet local audience to sell baby and kid stuff online. From strollers to bikes, Kijiji is the place to reach a large audience in your local area. It's also a great place to sell a car or rent an apartment. Heck, I used Kijiji to sell my Subaru for the asking price.
The best stuff to sell on Kijiji includes: kids toys, clothing, sports gear, and furniture. OK, anything goes — including Chloe's cloth diapers.
It's a dirty topic, but I sold my daughter's cloth diapers on Kijiji for over 50 per cent of original cost – try doing that with disposable diapers! Selling gently-used strollers, jeans, and shoes is a win for earning a little cash. Kids grow fast and buyers want your gear to save money. Expect to get around 15 per cent of the original price for clothing, 60 per cent for gear, and even more on high-end kids stuff.
Selling Tip: Always clean and launder kids' items before posting online. List stains and scratches, and find instruction manuals so buyers are in the know. Check for recalls on cribs, strollers, etc. The clearest photographs and most descriptive descriptions sell stuff fastest and at top dollar.
Stay Safe: Use the Kijiji App to post and communicate with prospective sellers online. The Message feature allows buyers and sellers to communicate without sharing personal information like email. If you don't like a seller, your private information is safer.
Find a buy and sell group on Facebook.
This tip wasn't mentioned on the show, but I'd like to add Facebook groups into the mix of options for selling stuff online. While on Facebook, start by searching for "Buy and sell" with your city name in the search. Facebook will list all the groups (open and closed) in your community. Open groups are easy to join — just 'Like' the page and start posting your sellables online. Become a member of a closed groups by requesting to join the network — the page administrator will check out your profile before approval.
The advantage of selling standard goods and even luxury items though Facebook is most people post using their real names, so you know who you're dealing with at the outset.
For the Collector: eBay
If you have gently-used premium or luxury goods, consider setting up an auction on eBay. From one-of-a-kind designer purses to sports memorabilia, eBay is a global seller of luxury and unique items.
The best stuff to sell on eBay includes designer shoes, handbags and dresses. Big designer names like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Dior sell for top dollar on eBay – sometimes for even more than the initial cost! Before listing as an auction or as a 'Buy Now' option, follow a few listings with similar items to help price your goods. Don't forget to factor your seller fees into the price, as eBay fees can take a bite out of your profit.
Selling Tip: Proving authentication of the item is key on eBay. Always include photos of authentication certificates, serial numbers, original receipts, store tags, or designer labels to prove you're selling the real thing.

No professional clarinetist would ever think about travelling to and from their performances without a case or gig bag for their clarinet. While cases and gig bags are essential for any musical instrument, they're especially important for woodwinds due to their fragile nature. The good news is that today's top case and gig bag manufacturers all offer high-quality clarinet cases and gig bags to safeguard your clarinet when you're not playing it. In fact, names like SKB, Allora, Gator and countless others are widely known in the music industry for their case and gig bags, and they can all be found right here. So what exactly are you looking for in a clarinet case or gig bag? Obviously the best one for you will depend on how often you travel with your clarinet, and what kind of clarinet you play. If you're a student who simply needs a gig bag for carrying your instrument to band class, something simple and affordable will do just the trick. For that, we'll suggest the Allora Clarinet Case. One of the top sellers in this section, this rugged hardshell case has a nylon, zippered exterior and is equipped with a padded handle and two backpack style straps. It's also water-resistant, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your clarinet is protected if you ever get caught in a downpour on the way to rehearsal. Now, if you're already a veteran of the stage who plays out often, you might want to consider something on the higher end of things. There are plenty of options, including the Buffet Crampon Attache Clarinet Case Covers. Boasting a Cordura shell to shelter your clarinet from cold and moisture and shield it from bumps and bruises, this case cover is just what you need to keep your favorite Buffet safe and sound when you're on the road. In addition to the cases mentioned, there are many other choices as well - including cases and gig bags for double clarinets and bass clarinets. Now that you have an idea of what awaits you in this selection, feel free to browse away. Truthfully, any one of the choices here would impress you for the simple reason that only the top brands are offered.

Trainer Todd Pletcher had just witnessed Dunkirk -- the 3-year-old he believes might be his first Kentucky Derby winner -- outkicked in the final furlong of the Florida Derby by Quality Road. He had just experienced the adrenaline rush of seeing Dunkirk's explosive move to the front, immediately followed by the sobering reality that second-place money might not be enough to get his talented colt into the starting gate at Churchill Downs.
With those emotions swirling, Pletcher was interviewed by ESPN's Jeannine Edwards about Dunkirk's performance.
Pletcher called out the Gulfstream Park track surface as unnecessarily speed-favoring, and said he should have run Dunkirk in the Wood Memorial instead.
So was the Gulfstream strip souped-up to the advantage of frontrunners?
To me, the track was somewhat speed-favoring in one-turn races, but the 'bias' word might be a little strong.
My opinion has always been that too many handicappers see a track bias lurking around every corner, when in reality an actual bias comes along only once in a while. When a series of improbable results can be tied directly to a certain running lane or running style, that is when the bias card should be played. Last Saturday's Gulfstream results do not fit that description.
In the first race, talented Nick Zito-trained maiden Just Ben ran superbly at 9-5 odds, followed home by 8-5 favorite Mighty Score.
Next, 4-5 frontrunning favorite Santana Six chalked up a Beyer Speed Figure of 95 compared to his 94 five weeks earlier (if a bias moved him up, it wasn't by much).
Senor Leche raced with the lead and won comfortably as the 5-2 favorite in a maiden claimer predictably dominated by speed types.
The upset of 3-5 Nicanor by 4-1 Glittermans Cartel is the example most often given as strongest evidence of a speed bias. Glittermans Cartel was closely pursued by Nicanor throughout, earning a 93 Beyer Speed Figure. In that race, stretch runners Juliano and Zagarello duplicated their earlier figures.
Vitruvius, Groomedforvictory and Motovato provided a shocking trifecta at 3-1, 2-1 and 3-1 odds, rallying from third, sixth and seventh.
In the Swale Stakes, This One's For Phil and disqualified Big Drama hit the wire together at 8-5 and 9-5 odds. Fourth-place Brave Victory came from last in a career-high figure.
The way Dunkirk rocketed around the field in the Florida Derby hardly suggests a strongly speed-oriented track.
And in the last race, top three Jacoby's Run, Hennigan and Street Talk'n Man went off at 3-1, 7-1 and 3-1 odds. At the first call, they were fifth, fourth and seventh, respectively. Each ran about the same figures they'd been getting.
This is evidence of a powerful speed bias?
Any slight tendency toward speed might have been more the result of a 30mph gale blowing against the horses down the stretch, which most experienced horseplayers believe hurts closers who must make up ground into the teeth of the wind.
Meanwhile, the lightning-fast Gulfstream surface (two track records were set during the afternoon) was glib all week. Based on the Beyer track variants, the surface was actually slightly slower Saturday than it had been Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Having said all this, Dunkirk still might have run a better race than Quality Road in the Florida Derby - but because of pace.
The early fractions made the Florida Derby among the slowest-paced of dirt preps thus far. Quality Road's tactical speed and patience gave him an advantage over Dunkirk, who was farther back than expected and launched a powerful burst leaving the three-eighths pole that I timed at :11.7 for a furlong and :24.1 for a quarter-mile in his stakes debut and only the third start of his career.
If Dunkirk makes it into the Kentucky Derby field -- and the odds are probably slightly in his favor at this point -- a quicker pace could see Pletcher celebrating instead of searching for explanations.

Germany May Turn to Labor Programs as Crisis Worsens, Union Says
Germany's industrial workforce is bracing for a global slowdown by mulling some measures last used during the financial crisis to save jobs, said Berthold Huber, chairman of Europe's largest manufacturing union.
"The experience from 2008 has taught us that an economy can slump within the shortest period of time and as a union, we need to be prepared for that," Huber, chairman of IG Metall, said in an interview in Frankfurt on July 4. "For such an event, we need crisis measures. Germany won't be able to fully decouple from an economic downward trend in Europe."
German unemployment has been pushed higher over the past three months, ending a two-year drop that has taken the jobless rate to the lowest since the country's reunification. With Europe's sovereign debt crisis damping global growth and curbing demand for German goods, Huber said IG Metall is already in talks with manufacturers to gauge the need for special measures.
The measures, which would have to be approved by lawmakers, include a lengthening of the period of time people can work short hours, tax measures to boost domestic demand and increased investment on research and development, according to Huber, whose union represents some 2.25 million workers at companies including Daimler AG and Siemens AG.
Germany limited the increase in unemployment during the crisis with a state-sponsored program introduced in 2009 that allowed companies to put workers on shorter working weeks to reduce costs while the government paid part of the remaining wage. The short-term work program lost significance as demand for staff increased, the Labor Agency has said.
Cost Cuts
Companies across Europe are looking for ways to lower costs as the region's economic slump shows signs of deepening. Euro-area unemployment jumped to 11.1 percent in May, a record, with Spain's at 24.6 percent and Portugal's at 15.2 percent. In Germany, the comparable adjusted jobless rate was at 5.6 percent, according to the European Union's statistics office.
While Germany's economic expansion helped the euro area avert a slump in the first quarter, Europe's largest economy has since shown increasing signs of slowdown. German business confidence fell to the lowest in more than two years in June and investor sentiment slumped the most in 14 years. German manufacturing output also declined last month.
European leaders have focused on budget cuts to fight the region's turmoil, undermining consumer demand and exports. The International Labour Organization, ILO, said in a report on July 11 that policy makers risk putting 4.5 million more people out of work unless they recalibrate their crisis-fighting measures toward promoting employment in the 17-member area.
"Savings programs by themselves won't lead us out of this crisis," said Huber, who sits on the board of companies including Volkswagen AG and Siemens. "Europe needs to promote science and development as well as productivity growth."

Unlike oil majors Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) and Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.A), Total (TOT) just reported earnings that beat expectations and the stock is up some 5% in early trading today (See Chart). Total has been a core part of my portfolio for a few months now. Its combination of a high dividend yield, low valuations and improving outlook make it a compelling buy for income and value investors.
Click to enlarge
(Click to enlarge)
Key highlights from earnings report:
- European refining margins more than doubled to $38.20 a metric ton in the second quarter, up from $16.30 a ton in the same period a year ago, and $20.90 a ton in the first quarter of this year.
- The company raised its quarterly dividend for the first time since 2008, up 3.5% to 0.59 euros per share.
- The company's CFO also said mgmt prefers dividend increases versus stock repurchases (refreshing).
- Total said it remained confident about the second half of the year.
Four additional reasons Total is a solid pick for value and income investors at $46 a share:
- The stock is selling at the bottom of its five year valuation range based on P/E, P/B, P/CF and P/S.
- With the payout increase, Total now yields close to 6% and the company seems committed to raise payouts as warranted in the future.
- The stock is cheap especially for a high yielder. TOT is selling for less than 7 times forward earnings and just over 4 times operating cash flow.
- Analysts have a median price target of $58 on the shares. S&P has a "Buy" rating and a $61 price target on the stock.

The Adventures of Jaden Lennon
To join, please post here. Also for those who are first posting, you can start wherever you like. The first few posts of mine shall be copied from the Fic. Enjoy.
The Adventures of Jaden Lennon
Looking back, Jaden Lennon, now known as the Exile, didnt regret his choices of going to war. The Republic needed help and Jaden knew that the Jedi Order wouldnt help them, until it was too late. The transport ship arrived at the entrance of the Jedi Temple, the sanctuary for all the Jedi and once Jaden. Instead of immediately getting on, Jaden took one last look at what was once his home. Now he knew that it would be a place where none of the Jedi Masters would wish to see him again.
Come on! The pilot shouted at Jaden, I havent got all day!
The pilot beeped his horn impatiently. Jaden sighed, picking up his suitcase, with all his remaining possessions inside. He sat down on an empty seat near a small window. The transport shook slightly and moved away from Jadens only family. The only family he ever knew. Now he would be living the exile life, trying not to come in contact with any of his Jedi companions. As the transport left Coruscant, Jaden decided where he would go next. He would go into the furthest reaches of the Outer Rim, somewhere where he wouldnt be recognised.
Attention passengers! The pilot announced over the transport, The Harbinger will be docking at the desert Planet of Tatooine! If you plan to leave here, please dont leave any of your belongings behind and prepare to leave.
Tatooine. The perfect place for an exile to start. The only thing Jaden wondered was what he was going to do once he arrived.
The Sky Eagle landed on Tatooine, a little before the usual tourist shuttle came in. The loading ramp opened and outside of it came a man and a woman. The woman came in a tan sleeveless shirt and pants with brown shoes. Her torso was covered by a tan mantle. About the man, all people could see was brown sleeve-like pants and brown boots. The torso was covered with a green mantle, but this one had a hood. He pulled it down, revealing his short spiky blonde hair and blue eyes.
"So, where are we going Ewan?" She asked him.
"I'd like a cantina right now Amber, you in?" Ewan asked her.
"Sure," She answered Ewan, envolving her arm around his, following him to the Cantina.
((Off-topic: Ewan's outfit is like Zayne's from the KOTOR comics, and Amber's like Padmé's on Mustafar. Just thought i should clear that out.))
The memory of his exile still flashed in Jadens mind. The Jedi Temple stood before him, as the Jedi Master, Jorran Corral and the soldier, Carth Onasi, had escorted him.
I cant do this. Jaden told them both.
Dont fear my young Jedi friend, Jorran told Jaden, I myself have been through the worst of times. Times of the war with Exar Kun, but that is another story.
Perhaps the Jedi will let you stay with them. Carth told Jaden.
I doubt it, Jaden told him, The Jedi sometimes cant forgive the crimes that their own apprentices had done.
Jaden turned to walk towards the Jedi Temple.
Good luck! Both Jorran and Carth shouted from behind.
Jaden didnt reply. He just wanted to get this over with.
The winding corridors soon led Jaden to the council room. The Jedi Council included five Jedi Masters. Master Vrook, a grumpy old Jedi Master who was always there to criticise the padawans. Master Vash was one of the only female masters on the Jedi Council, the other being Master Atris. The other two Jedi Masters were Zez-Kai Ell and Jadens own master, Master Kavar. The trial began.
Do you know why we have called you here? Master Vrook asked, a tone of impatience in his voice.
Jaden sighed. He felt weak, being interrogated by the Jedi Masters. Now he knew how prisoners felt if a Jedi was interrogated.
You have called me to answer for my crimes on Malachor V. Jaden admitted, feeling ashmed.
"As Revan summoned you, so have you come full circle to return to the Jedi. Master Kavar continued.
Jaden didnt know what that meant, but didnt ask any questions, since he thought it would make him feel even guiltier.
"Why did you defy us? Master Zez-Kai Ell asked, The Jedi are guardians of the peace and have been for centuries. This call to war undermines all that we have worked for.
Is Revan your master now? Master Atris asked, who like Vrook, had a tone of impatience in her voice, Or is it the horror you wrought at Malachor that has caused you to see the truth at last?
I realise that following Revan to war was in violation of the Jedi Code, Jaden told them all, trying to remain as calm as possible, And I broke it, knowingly defying the wishes of the Jedi Council.
You refuse to hear us, Master Zez-Kai Ell told Jaden, You have shut us out, and so have shut yourself to the galaxy. Know that there is no turning back from this judgment. It is good you recognize this. It means you will understand why you must leave us. We feel that your true understanding of what happened at Malachor V will only happen in time. And it cannot happen here, near the battlegrounds where you fought.
Why I must leave them? Jaden thought, it cant be. Ill be exiled I just know it.
You are exiled, and you are a Jedi no longer. Master Vash told Jaden, speaking for the first time, since the trial began.
There is one last thing. Master Vrook told Jaden.
Oh great, I knew there would be something. Jaden thought.
Your Lightsaber. Surrender it to us. Master Vrook continued.
Jaden hung his head in shame and reached for his Lightsaber. He took one last look at it, before igniting it, revealing its blue blade and before thrusting it into the stone. Without turning to look at the Jedi Masters, Jaden turned and walked away.
The Jedi Temple doors opened and Jaden walked out, not prepared to do anything. Carth ran up towards Jaden.
How did it go? He asked.
Jaden didnt say anything. He still felt shocked from his trial.
Leave the poor boy alone, Jorran told Carth, He has been exiled, I can sense it.
Why dont we talk to the Jedi Council and see if they will allow him back? Carth asked.
In time, they will, Jorran told him, Things like this pass in time. But not now, not while they still fear for his life.
Jaden turned to his old friends.
I will take a transport and leave Republic space, Jaden told them, Perhaps I will have a more successful life out there then the life I spent here, learning the ways of the Jedi.
Jaden, please dont do this, Carth told him.
I have no choice, Jaden told him, The Jedi are no longer my life. I need to find myself a new life and I can only do that if I leave.
Well if youre sure, Jorran told him, Carth and I shall be leaving now. Carth go on ahead, I need to talk to Jaden alone.
Jorran walked towards Jaden and placed his hand on Jadens shoulder.
It is has been great telling you stories and teaching you, He told Jaden, Know this. Know that the fate of your future will be your new adventure. I hope to see you again.
Thank you Master Corral. Jaden told him.
Oh please, just call me Jorran. Jorran told him, laughing, before walking off.
Weve arrived at Tatooine! The pilot shouted, Remember if you want to get off here, please get your belongings and pay up here.
Jaden picked up his suitcase and walked towards the pilot. He handed him one hundred Credits and got off the transport ship. He had been dropped off at Anchorhead. It was an establishing mining facility, but it did have several places of work and housing. A new life. A new life to live out.
Cao's Sith Inflitrator slowly decent to the planet of Tatooine. As wind and clouds zoomed past his view from the cockpit the city of Anchorhead however instead of heading for the landing pads, he turned and headed towards a small Tusken Raiders camb not too far from the city. Before he landed he dropped a bomb which took it out. He then landed among the rubble and waited for orders from his master.
Gilrath walked out of the small canteen and sat down in his full Mandalorian armour returning the evil looks people were giving him as if he had killed thousands of people. If only they new I havn't been around for the madalorain wars... He thought to himself.
Gilrath thought back to all those years ago when he was Exiled after his Master was brutaly muredewred and he was blamed by the council. He sat there infront of the canteen when suddenly he heard a small beep come from his comunicatoir and he got up and headed to a small alleyway.
" Yes?" Gilrath said into the communictor but all he got in response was more beeping and bzzing and then finnaly a clear voice.
" This isss Ricksss servantsss Bavarsss," the voice said and then there was mall buzzing and bleeping.
" And what is it my brother wants now?" Gilrath asked waiting for the buzzing and beeping to stop.
" Yousss owe himsss a favourssssss," The voice replied and then the comunicator when back to the buzzing and bleeping.
" Look im not killing any more Jedi I was once one aswell, " Gilrath spoke into the communicator then looked around to check no one was listening in on his conversation.
" Yousss willssss killsssss the Jedi Jadensssss or youssss willssss be kiledssssss." The hissing voice replied again Gilrath cut out the comunicator then looked around him.
" What are you doing here Ali," he said to himself as he walked out of the Alley way and looked at the onscreen information that started opear on his helmet with detail on Jaden.
Die you vile beasts! Gresta Morsalee shouted as he brought his blade down on the skull of the 25th creature to attack him since he had left Anchorhead an hour ago. He was now being attack by a pack of Wraids. The creatures body thrashed about for a moment after its skull was caved in, and then went still.
A screech of rage came from one of the Wraids and it charged foreword. Morsalee dodged and brought his blade down on the neck of the Wraid, severing its head from its body. The other Wraids then began to circle him and take snaps at him. Your deaths will be quick and painless. He said to the Wraids as they closed in on him.
Truth walked into the cantina in Anchorhead and saw his target. Or more specifically to say, his targets force aura, since Truth was a Miraluka. The target looked a bit nervous. Truth was silent as he walked up behind the target and then he snapped his targets neck with ease. The cantina went silent for a moment, and then it went back to usual. People dieing in there was usual. The target was either stupid or brave for coming here.
Truth searched his target and found what he was looking for: A data chip with all of a certain Hutts dealings, with interesting side affects if in the right hands. Truth then felt something odd. He wasnt sure what is was, it just stood out from the rest of the planet. He pushed the feeling to the back of his mind and left the cantina. This was not the time for thinking about something irrelevant to the objective.
Ewan and Amber entered in a Cantina, it was a Tarisian Style one.
"What do you say about this one?" He asked her.
"Can be," She told him, kissing in the cheek.
They made their way inside. It was blue-coloroued, to their amazement. They sat down and a waitress quickly made their way there.
"Welcome to the Taris Home Cantina. How may i serve you?" She asked.
"We'd both like a Tarisian Ale and to accompany it, a Naboo Sheep Cheese Sandwhich please," Ewan politely told her as she wrote it down. She bowed, and while doing that, accidentally noticed Ewan's lightsaber. She got a curious look on her eyes, and walked to the bartender, and whispered something to his ears.
"I have a bad feeling about this Amber. Ready your blasters," He told her as she nodded.
(Off-Topic: Jason, I was thinking of getting a job for Jaden at a cantina, so I might meet your Characters).
Jaden entered the nearby cantina known as the Taris Home Cantina. Hopefully there would be a job here. He knew that he needed the money.
The Dark Jedi, Hanbacca left the Shadowlands on the Planet Kashyyyk. The Shadowlands was the place of his training. Hanbacca climbed up the trees and arrived at a landing pad. On the landing pad was a local Kashyyyk ship. He got inside and was off to search for an old friend. Jaden Lennon.
Gilrath walked back into his faveroute cantina the Taris Home Cantina and returned all of the evil looks he was given once again he headed towards the back of the bar and sat down looking at all of the vistors.
"Hey, Mr. Wasulr," The young waitress told her boss.
"What is it Nora?" He asked her.
"Those two customers," She said, pointing at Ewan and Amber, lowering the tone of her voice, "One of them has a lightsaber, so they might be Jedi."
"JEDI?! Keep an eye on them, they might trouble," He whispered to her. Although, they weren't aware of it, Ewan was hearing it, loud and clear.
"Sounds like we aren't getting such a warm welcome here," Ewan whispered to Amber.
Gelrath heard the waiteress talking to her boss about to jedi and smirked he got up and finished his Tarasian Ale and left through a back door and then to a small hut out back. The oss of the cantikna had alowed Gelrath to stay their for a a few weeks now and Gelr ath thought it was time removed his suit. As he did he renembered back to when he first got the suit of armour.
" Sir!" A young recruit shouted at Ali just as a explosion was heard just ahead in the Jungles of Dxun Ali turned round and looked at the recruit who seemed to be shakin like as much as a paint shaker.
"What is recruit?" Ali asked put his hand on the recruit shoulder the recruit relaxed a bit more then began to tell him of the advancing madalorian troops.
"Ok soldier let get ready for this" Ali said as he activated his green Lightsaber and advanced towards the charging madalorains the skirmich was going good until suddenly out of no where a mandalorian in black armour apeared out of know where Ali had just killed one of the elite troops and just before he was blasted in the back by the black madalorian he pick up the dead bodied and used it as a shield thats when he decided that maybe the mandlorain armour would have its uses so he kept it and has ever since been using it for disguise
ALi got into his grey Robes and the walked back into the cantina with his lightsaber attached to his belt.
Im fed of my brother asking me to kill Jedi and I know longer will. Ali said out loud to all the force users through force with out relising.
Ewan was eating his sandwhich while Amber drank her ale, both looking for suspicious looks. She noticed a man behind Ewan nodding to a woman behind Amber which Ewan noticed, both with a grin. Ewan got his ale and started drinking. Some seconds later, the man took out two blasters, as did the woman. Amber had her hand in the hilt of her Vibrosword, and Ewan in his Lightsaber. Then, Ewan nodded, they both let go of their drinks and turned around, lightsaber ignited and Vibrosword taken out, both at front of their foes' throat.
"Alright, what is your business with us?" Ewan asked the man.
"You're a Jedi, aren't you? You filthy beasts are ruining the Republic, you're going to destroy it, Revan is going to do that!" He shouted.
"What is going on here?!" The bartender shouted, "No fights in the cantina!"
Ewan deactivated his saber. The man, not worthy of trust, shot repeatdly, aiming at Amber's back, but Ewan quickly ignited his saber again, deflected the shots and cut his hands off. The man screamed in pain.
"Next time, don't try to arm confusion and never, but NEVER try to shoot my girlfriend," He smiled. The woman shouted and simply ran off.
"Hey what's going on around here?" Jaden asked, "I didn't know today was kill-each other day."
The bartender started to get even angrier.
"No need for anger my friend," Jaden told him, "I'm here just to see if you have any jobs you can offer me."
The bartender calmed down and ignored the three people who had been in trouble.
"I can offer you an hour shift, but that's all." The bartender told Jaden.
"Fine with me," Jaden told him, "I'll start now."
Ali and gave the body of the handless thug a look and then sat down and began to drink another bottle of tarasian ale he looked at every as he got many stares at the lightsaber that was convieniantly on his belt in clear view.
A middle aged man walked into his backalley home in the streets of Tatooine. He pulled out a bottle of liquor and sat down at his kitchen table. Stretching out his arms after a hard days work mining in the dunes. Before he could take a sip of his drink, a wire wrapped around his neck and began to strangle him. He tried to resist, but another two men held him down in his chair. Another man sat down in the chair opposite him. Even with his white hair, he still looked like a shadowy figure.
"I hope you were not beginning to think we would not find you Kellas." Durz said nonchalantly. He reached across the table to and ripped open his shirt, revealing a necklace with a datachip attached to it. Durz ripped it off and examined it. "Exchange business contacts, smuggling routes, schedules...you could have done a lot of damage with this." He said as he snapped the datachip in half and pocketed the pieces. He then signaled for his men to release Kellas.
Kellas fell to the ground struggling madly to catch his breath. When he looked up, all he saw was the barrel of a silver blaster pistol, a flash of red, then nothing.
Hanbacca wondered where his old friend could be. Would he be trying to find Revan again? Would he be trying to become a Jedi again. Hanbacca didn't know where to start looking. Coruscant might be the best bet.
Ewan noticed the one who had just walked in and his face was familiar, but now was not the time. He de-activated his saber and then looked at the screaming man.
"Hey, that heals and your hand grows up again, but i'm guessing you'll still be mentally scarred. Buh-bye," He told him, getting out of the cantina followed by Amber.
"Well, what do you say about me showing off my great swoop racing skills and "swooping" the competition's backside out of the lane?"
"How about we go to an apartment and get some rest?"
"You mean..."swooping" rest?"
"No, rest like sleeping."
"Fine by me."
Hanbacca turned around and saw the man. He growled at the man telling him he was Hanbacca and that he would gladly see him.
"Good.My master is currently busy but he's left his apprentice talk with you. He's waiting for you in a nearby shrine, please follow me." The man replied polietly.
Who could this master be? Was he a Jedi? Or a Sith? Time would tell. Hanbacca decided to follow the man.
The man walked for ten minutes before coming to a small cave enterance. The man stopped and said "Darth Dragik is inside. You may turn back now if you wish and we will think nothing of it."
Hanbacca growled. This sounded important, so there was no point turning back now. Hanbacca strolled inside.
"Thank you for coming Hanbacca." Said a red coloured twi'lek who was sitting on a throne like chair "I'm Drath Dragik and we have an offer for you."
Hanbacca growled by asking, "What sort of offer, Twi'lek? I'm after an old friend and I don't have time for games."
"Who is this old friend, wookiee? Perhab's we could help you out their. We have a large amount of resources when it comes to finding people."
Hanbacca grunted.
"I'm looking for an old friend. He goes by the name of Jaden Lennon. He fought in the Mandalorian Wars, alongside me, until he was exiled for his crime and I continued to help Revan and Malak succeed in their Sith ways. Now I'm looking for Jaden, so he could join me."
Dragik smiled "Ahh the jedi exile. Hmmmm, I wonder." He paused for a second "Yes, we have been keeping tabs on him, we'll have a location on him... and what do you mean by join you?"

Thanks Chris. I'm surprised to find the hip not hurting as bad today as it has been. The rest of my body is another story, I can really feel the effects of holding my muscles to tight for so long trying to protect the hip on the marathon. My whole body aches something fierce.
I'm adding 3 more Rock n' Roll events this year to my schedule, they just debuted the "Rock Idol" medal for those who finish 10 events in a calendar year and I want it! I'm thinking the next run will be Dallas (1/2 marathon) in the end of March. Anyone want to join me there?

@Travis No comparison for sure but even when I have a little "hitch" I always end up with a back muscle issue or something from the overcompensation. Throwing down the guantlet for Dallas! ha! My first half is mid February in North Dallas. I will consider joining you for the RNR half...I have to think about it because of it being on a Sunday. Still working on my internal struggle on the example that it sets for my kids to skip church for a sporting event, we do not let them do it! :-)

Hi Travis,
I read the complete story on your blog....you are a good writer- I could almost feel your pain with each step. That's a wonderful point about the race being against yourself and ultimately you did win- whether the man on the plane would understand that makes no difference.
Great work. Now rest up and take care of yourself.

I haven't looked into a formal push-up program, personally.. I hear 100 push-ups mentioned alot, but I don't have a specific goal in mind. I've just been trying to do as many as I can each time, some days its 2 sets of 10 and sometimes 10 and then 8..and I finish my pushups with a plank for up to a minute or so. When that gets to be easy, just add a few more push ups. (When I started I did these on my knees, and when I transitioned to full push-ups I could only do 2 or 3 per set)

Hi Everyone! Pretty new here. It's nice to read your updates--keeps me motivated to keep going. I just did W3D2 this morning. Went to the gym for a treadmill because its snowing again. Being a new runner, I am a bit nervous about the ice under that snow:) Half way thru the run, my son, on the treadmill next to me, is doing a small cheer--I'm thinking he's trying to get me motivated, since that is what he is there for--nope, cheering for another snow day. Not again! I have some questions I hope you all can help with/advise. I need to sign up for a race as a longterm goal--knowing myself, this will keep me going. I am looking for something in the spring--thinking a 10K in May. Too ambitious? I know, lots of info missing. The only organized thing I've done in the past is the 60 mile, 3 day walk for breast cancer. Actually did that in 98 degree heat, pregnant(didn't know it at the time, gosh was I tired!) Now that that little one is 2.5, I am finally focusing on me again. I have a great support team--my kids and husband, although they think ice cream is its own food group. I am doing the C25K now as well as cross training. I do circuit training with weights twice a week, core exercises in a circuit twice a week and have recently added the rower once or twice. I didn't start everything at once--trying to build gradually so not to overdue. Please advise!!! I really enjoy reading your journeys--it helps!!
Hello everyone!!
This is my first time posting. I have been running for 1 1/2 months. When I started running I was 301, now I am 270. I am a 5'5" female, 33 years old, so you can see I carry a lot of weight. I run my first 5k on 3/12/11. I attempted the c25k, but I found it much more difficult to run then walk then run. So at week #2 I made my own plan. I now can run (no walk breaks) six miles at 14:55/mile pace, and my 3.5 miles at 13:45/mile. I run 3-5 times a week. I find that I am more consistant when I run more than rest. I have been lucky in the fact that I haven't had any problems with knees or shin splints. My breathing is good because I don't seem to get side stitches (which I think is because I am not running fast enough). I know my pace is very slow, so I am working on my pace now by running more hills. I decided to now use the Hal Higdon 1/2 marathon plan to improve my 5k times. So far I just finished day two, and all is good. My questions are: Is it possible for me to improve my 5K pace to 12:15-30/mile before my 5k on 3/12/10? Do you think I will be able to run a 1/2 marathon by July? Well that's all my questions for now. I want to congratulate everyone on their accomplishments! I have gain a ton of knowledge from reading these postings, and now I am proud to say that I am a member of the 200+ club!!
Go Jimmy, Go Jimmy!
Hi everyone! Stumbled upon this site and have found it to be a great read! Love hearing everyones stories and tips.
A bit about myself. November 1 2009 I decided I had enough of feeling like a zombie with no energy. At 35 and 410 pounds I had a hell of a road ahead of me. That first night I stepped onto our eliptical and thought I was going to die after 5 minutes. I kept at every night and gradually added time. I remember hitting the 15 minute mark and feeling like I was on top of the world!! Towards the end of November I had started to walk/jog for 1k evry night. Started to really feel good about myself and could really feel the momentum gaining. Snow fell in early december and I did not want to stop what I started so I got a gym pass to my local city gym. Started hitting the gym 6 days a week. I really just focused on cardio for the longest time. Started using the eliptical and got my time on it built up to 30 minutes. I then branched out onto the treadmill. This was really the birth of my love for running. Would do the jog 1 minute walk 2 minute thing and just grew it. In June I entered a 5k race and finished it in 51minutes with a run/walk combo. I entered in another 5k for September and really started focusing on running the whole thing. I finished the Sept race in 30:38. I really wanted to be under 30 minutes and was initially dissapointed but eventually found satisfaction in what I accomplished.
I still hit the gym 4 to 5 days a week and almost include a 5k run to start my workout off. I am currently currenty weighing in at 260 pounds. I still want to take another 40 pounds off and keep a weight of 220. The weight is coming off my slower nowadays but I feel amazing and have never been this physically "fit" in my life. At 6'2 and a big framed guy I figure 220 is an alright weight to be at. I think I will always run. Just something that feels so good doing it. I do some of my best thinking while running. Really have been able to re-connect with my love for music too!! My plan is to run a 10k in June and who knows, maybe a marathon someday! haha
WOW Travis! I enjoyed your report, I can't belive you still ran the full... take some time and heal yourself!
Just caught up on lots of posts. Congrats to everyone with running and fitness achievements and get well to all who need to heel!
I created a new workout today on the treadmill, inspired by largest contestant on the current Biggest Loser season. Arthur was challenged to run 30 seconds at 5.0 speed. He did the 30 sec and was wiped out. I'm not as big as Arthur but still well over 300 lbs. I tested how fast I could run 1 minute. I started with 5 minutes at 5.0, walked at 2.0 for 2 minutes, then ran 6.0 for 1 minute, walked 2.0 for 2 minutes, ran 6.5 for 1 minute, huffed and puffed at 2.0 for 2 minutes, then ran 7.0 for 1 minute and decided that was enough. I've always been athletic, even in my heavy state. I pushed fairly hard for the 7.0 pace. It took nearly 2 minutes of 2.0 walking for my heart rate to get under 150.

Jillianp- congrats I and much to my surprise my wife are also W1D2, so far it is very interesting for us both.
I do agree music does really help a lot and as for a partner that is a something you do have to think about. Currently we both walk/run at our own paces and just circle around until we are again some what together for a short while and to check on each other. No doubt one of us is going to leave the other in the dust soon but it will work out in the long run.
30 minutes of Bhangra dance, 60 minutes of world dance class, and now for my W1D2 workout.... and then I just may pass out

@Travis; Nice job in completing the Marathon despite the pain, I completed the RnR in Arizona on Sunday as well with a stress fracture in my left foot. Airplane ride home I had to remove my shoe because of the swelling. Expo was a hoot as it always is there in Phoenix. Looking forward ot a fast recovery and back down to the Valley of the Sun for the Lost Dutchman Marathon in late Feb.
