I stopped chasing a number. Don't get me wrong. The number on the scale needs to come down. I know this. However, when I first started on this weight loss journey it was only about the number that starred back at me every morning when I weighed myself. Now what I'm chasing is much different and these photos will prove it.
Week 1 – Week 8
Week 1 – Week 8 (Nice face, right?)
Week 1 – Week 8 (Yes, my hair is green. Yes, I did it on purpose.)
Now, before you continue reading, please comment below and tell me how much weight you think I've lost based on these photos. Go ahead. I'll wait.
…did you guess yet?

"Did you fall off the wagon? Why haven't you posted an update?!" No, I didn't fall off the wagon, although I was worried I might while I was traveling (hence no post).
The official title is Morning Show Boot Camp but really it's radio deejay school. Personalities from across the country get together every year to network and share ideas. This year the conference was held in Chicago which meant I'd be spending time flying and in a hotel. How the heck was I supposed to stick to my healthy lifestyle with so many things out of whack?!
I'm barely staying on track at home. One small thing and I'm scared I'll fall off the wagon I've worked so hard to get on. How was I going to travel and still stay disciplined? I surprised myself.
First things first. I prepared as much as I could. I packed snacks in my carry-on bag that included protein bars, turkey jerky, and mini bags of almonds & cashews. Normally I'm frazzled before I get to the airport (mainly because I wait until the absolute last minute to pack) so I didn't eat a decent breakfast. It would have been easy for me to drive thru and pick up a sausage biscuit but I've been fast food sober for almost five months now. Instead, I stopped by Starbucks inside the airport and bought Greek yogurt with granola, berries and an iced green tea with no syrup. I was caffeinated and content. Was I stuffed? No. But I knew I'd be able to hold myself over for a few hours.
During the nearly four hour flight, I munched on the snacks I brought and tracked it all on the My Fitness Pal app. The free app does all the work for me when it comes to counting calories. It's synced to my FitBit, which tracks how many steps I take daily, and my trainer is able to log in to see if I've been staying on track.
Once I landed in Chicago my first priority was to get lunch. By this point I was feeling hungry and I knew my body needed actual food. By the grace of God, a place called "The Protein Bar" was located on the main floor of the hotel I was staying at. Not only did this restaurant list all of the calories on the menu, it also showed how much protein and how many carbs were in each dish. As a rule of thumb I always try to eat more protein than carbs in one sitting. Knowing I was under calories and without any idea when I'd eat dinner, I opted for a higher calorie option. However, that doesn't mean I overdid it.

Change your mind, change your life.
Think about that. It's not up to other people to change you. It's up to YOU to change you. As I continue on my weight loss journey, I've noticed three key people who have been vital to my success. These three very important people have kept me motivated and on track. This get fit path I'm on isn't meant to do alone. I admire, appreciate and genuinely love these people. My A-Team.
Ever hear the phrase "perception is reality?" I find that to be 100% true. So when a professional athlete, nonetheless a Super Bowl champion, asks if you've been to the gym, it's quick to assume he thinks your fat, lazy, and out of shape. Even perhaps that he's doubting your commitment. But being in this right mindset, I know that Greg Scruggs sends me these texts because he sees my desire. My want. My motivation to succeed and achieve my goals. And he supports me. He encourages me.
Greg. You were one of the first few people I met when I moved to Seattle. Over the last few months, we have become close friends. I only hope you understand the impact you have on those around you. The impact you have on me. I pray that I can be as good of a friend to you in return. I also promise to have enough food for you the next time you come over. hahaha. Now go get yourself another ring, Champ! #GoHawks
Two weeks ago, a great friend from college, Steve Smith, moved to Seattle and has been staying with me. Steve noticed the photo I have on my refrigerator. I keep this in plain sight because it's when I felt my best. Halloween 2006. I was 21-years old and a senior in college. Ironically, this was taken at Steve's house! He's seen me at my best and now at my worst.
We came up with a pretty nice roommate agreement. I cook. He cleans. I have never eaten this clean, for this long, in my entire life. Steve's what I needed to get my diet right and my biggest improvements have come because of what I put in my mouth. I have energy to get through workouts and feel better than I could have ever imagined.
Thank you for being a great ManMate, Steve! You're the positive influence I so desperately needed. I've looked forward to our dinners together every single night. Our chats about clean eating, relationships, and life in general has me opening up not only to you but to everyone around me. I didn't realize how lonely I really was. I'm looking forward to building on this amazing friendship we have over the next few years. And Charlie wants to know when we're going on another hike.
Now here's where I start to tear up. All of this positive change began with one person. One person who speaks to me in terms I can understand. One person who knows it's possible because she's done it. My personal trainer, Karen. While I believe in God, I don't consider myself religious but I truly believe I have been blessed to cross paths with this woman.
In a month I'm starting to see a difference in my physical body. The biggest change has happened internally. I had given up. I was convinced I was going to be like this for the rest of my life. I was starting to accept that. But I met Karen and my world completely changed. I wish these photos reflected how much weight I've shed emotionally.
Karen deserves more credit than I'll ever be able to give her. She is a friend. A soul sister. A beautiful woman who has worked really f*cking hard and inspires me every single day. Not to mention she's saucy, feisty, and absolutely hilarious! I don't know if my abs hurt from Russian Twists or from laughing so hard when I'm with her. I'm not into the mushy stuff. Neither is she. So I'll spare everyone and continue to work hard and prove to you all just how much she's influenced my life.
Whether you want to admit it or not, everyone needs their own A-Team. Be willing to let people in. Be willing to ask for help. Be willing to be vulnerable. The rewards FAR out weigh the fear.
To my A-Team: THANK YOU!

The only thing I've ever finished was a value meal from McDonald's. That was until I crossed the Obliteride finish line!
Much love to Element Cycles in Redmond for setting me up with this oh-so-pretty bike! They outfitted me with a bike, helmet, and padded shorts that were an absolute life saver during the ride.
Due to construction, the route turned into a 30-mile ride as opposed to 25. I almost quit 37 times during the first half. But I finished! Find out what kept me going, what almost brought me to tears and even more photos by clicking HERE.
There's still time to help the amazing work happening at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. If I can ride 30 miles, you can open your wallet and donate a few bucks. Thank you to everyone who helped support my ride! This will be a lifelong shining moment for me!

My wife got me a gift card from B&H. It came up short so she made up the difference.
Got 2 more filters plus a set of close-up filters. Also Photoshop CS 5 upgrade and Nik HDR Efex Pro.
The plan is to take a photo a week and see what I get. That is 52 photos, not very many, but I want it to be more than just taking a snap.

Have you ever heard of an alpaca? Well, you've probably heard of camels and llamas.
Alpacas are a species of animals in the same family as those.
The Florida Alpaca Breeders Association brought them up to Tallahassee for a chance for locals to get to know the interesting animals.
The event was held at the North Florida fairgrounds. People got to play with the animals and dozens of vendors displayed alpaca fashions and hand-crafted items made out of their fur.
The Alpaca Breeders Association was out at the fairgrounds all day and will be there Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., so get out there and check out the animals while you can.

You, my friend, are the mega lurker. 1 post in 5-6 years?
Nice rifle you got there, bring one down to me in Michigan.
There is a company up here in Canada that was recently selling refurb SVT 40's for $200. Seemed like a good deal so I bought one, then I bought some more, it was a good decision.

It is unfortunate that the SVT 38 & SVT 40 are no longer importable into the USA.
The VRA stopped them (and a whole bunch of other guns) back in 1996.
Now the White House prevents ALL US military surplus goods from being imported.
This should make for some good deals in Canada!

- "A classic Purgatory dive bar, marinated in the blood, sweat and urine of drunken laborers for over a century. A 'Hidden gem' and 'neighborhood secret' that is in all the guidebooks."
- ―GTA IV Manual Description
Lucky Winkles is a bar featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Located at Galveston Avenue and Hell Gate in Purgatory, Algonquin, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV, Lucky Winkles is probably owned by the Irish Mob. Lucky Winkles shares the same interior as the Steinway Beer Garden, down to the portrait of Derrick McReary near the door to the toilets.
Strangely, when you first enter the bar, the bar icon on the radar never shows up. Just as the Steinway Beer Garden, Blarneys Stout is served here.
When on a date or hanging out with friends, it will show up on the radar as a bar, but the player can also avoid the yellow marker and walk right into the door to play darts. Strangely enough, the darts icon does not show up on the radar either. However, in later installments such as The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, the darts icon shows up when entering the bar.
- The Lucky Winkles logo is reused for the Leprechaun's Winklepicker, a bar located at Babbage Drive and Farnsworth Road in Berchem, Alderney.
- Inside the Lucky Winkles, you can see pictures of Claude from Grand Theft Auto III near the bar area.
- Most likely, Lucky Winkles is based off of the Sunbrite Bar, which was where the real-life Westies organization operated out of. Since the Irish Mafia is mostly likely based off of the Westies, the bar is also located in Purgatory which represents the real life neighborhood of Hells Kitchen.
- You can play darts with your friends here even when Algonquin is locked.
- The word Winkles is possibly a reference to the word winky, a slang term for a penis, continuing Rockstar's trend of using mature humor.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Tyler Brown scored a game-high 28 points as
the Illinois State Redbirds recorded a 73-65 win over the Northern Iowa
Panthers in the second round of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament at
Scottrade Center.
Brown, who shot 6-of-8 behind the 3-point line, also pulled down nine rebounds
for sixth-seeded Illinois State (18-14) in the victory. Jackie Carmichael
recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, adding five blocked
shots for good measure. John Wilkins and Johnny Hill both contributed 11
points, the latter also capturing nine boards.
The third-seeded Panthers (18-14) were paced by Marc Sonnen with 16 points,
Anthony James 15, Jake Koch 14 points and Deon Mitchell 10 to go along with
five assists before fouling out.
Illinois State led by as many as 15 points in the first half, shooting 6-of-15
beyond the arc in the frame, but the Panthers battled back as they connected
on 7-of-13 on the perimeter in order to take a 35-34 advantage at the break.
In the second half the lead for UNI went to three in the opening moments, but
the team then converted just 36.7 percent from the floor in the period as the
Redbirds pulled away for the win.
With the victory Illinois State heads to the semifinals to face second-seeded
Wichita State on Saturday, with a spot in the title game on the line.

- Main article: Middle ear
The Eustachian tube (or auditory tube) is a tube that links the pharynx to the middle ear. In adults the Eustachian tube is approximately 35 mm long. It is named after the 16th century anatomist Bartolomeo Eustachi. Some modern medical books call this the pharyngotympanic tube.
Pressure equalization
Normally the Eustachian tube is closed, but it can open to let a small amount of air through to equalize the pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere. When this happens we hear a small pop, an event familiar to airplane travelers or drivers in mountainous regions. Yawning or swallowing can pull on muscles in the neck, causing the tube to open. Some people are born with the ability to contract just these muscles voluntarily, similar to people who can wiggle their ears. Without this airway, the middle ear would be isolated from the atmosphere, and could be easily damaged by pressure changes.
Mucus drainage
The Eustachian tube also drains mucus from the middle ear. Upper airway infections or allergies can cause the Eustachian tube to become swollen, trapping bacteria and causing ear infections. This swelling can be reduced through the use of pseudoephedrine. Earaches are more common in children because the tube is more horizontal, making the movement of fluid harder.
An alternative method of relieving the pain felt by an earache is to have a physician or chiropractor perform endonasal therapy, which is a useful form of local treatment for catarrh problems. Endonasal therapy is a basic treatment used to initiate the draining and cleansing processes necessary to remove congestion in the Eustachian tubes.
Behind the nose and up above the tonsils is a small indentation called the "fossa of Rosenmuller." In this area the proximal end of the Eustachian tube opens into the throat. The Eustachian tube begins in the middle ear, passing downward, to come to an end in this fossa. Owing to the nature of the surface anatomy and of the draining pathways of the mucus, the fossa of Rosenmuller invariably becomes clogged with this draining fluid in catarrhal conditions. With the passage of time, the material that accumulates in this small cavity solidifies and becomes jelly-like. In this stage, it may clog the opening of the Eustachian tube and even some of the sinus drain tubes. In time the accumulated material becomes harder; both small capillaries and adhesions may form in this mass as time goes on. Because of this material's placement at the end of the Eustachian tube, its persistent pressure can cause catarrhal afflictions of the ear.
Embryologic development
The Eustachian tube is derived from the first pharyngeal pouch, which during embryogenesis forms a recess called the tubotympanic sulcus. The sulcus deepens to meet the first pharyngeal cleft forming the tympanic membrane. The distal part of the tubotympanic sulcus gives rise to the tympanic cavity, while the proximal tubular structure becomes the Eustachian tube.

In 1964, Amiri Baraka (then going by his given name LeRoi Jones) stood the American Theatre on its ear with the wildly controversial, Obie Award-winning drama Dutchman. He never equaled that success again, but his name and lasting fame had been solidly established, enhanced by the 1967 film version starring Al Freeman, Jr. (Malcolm X, Once Upon A Time…When We Were Colored) and directed by Anthony Harvey (The Lion In Winter, The Glass Menagerie). The story, a rite-of-passage saga for African American males, depicted the explosive self-realization of a young, middle-class man shattering the veneer of social convention to assert his Blackness. Baraka's career began in the early '60s among New York City's bohemian elite most notably with his book Preface to a Twenty Volume Suicide Note and his founding of Totem Press, which published the works of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. One of the most highly-regarded writers and controversial figures of his generation, he is hailed as a primary architect of the historic Black Arts Movement, which — also in the '60s — saw the emergence of playwright Ed Bullins, poets Nikki Giovanni and Sonia Sanchez, and novelists Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison and Ishmael Reed.

One day a little white owl sets off to see the world. When he meets some beautiful, colorful owls, he can't wait to share his toast and all of his happy stories. But these pretty owls do not want to be friends with a plain white owl like him...It's a touching story that celebrates difference and the beauty inside us all.
After reading the story we decided to make a craft of the Little White Owl in his flight across the world. We started by assembling the face of the owl by using a small paper plate face down. We cut out blue oval eyes, black circular pupils and a yellow beak, and glued them on to the face.
To make the wings, follow the pictures below.
1. Start by cutting another small paper plate in half.
2. Cut a small section off of each wing.
3. Here is how the wings look with the small section cut off.
4. Now cut a curve at the top of each wing.
Next glue down the wings and head onto a deep blue sheet of cardstock paper. The dark blue represents the Little White Owl flying at night. He already looks pretty cute if you stop right here, but we added a little more detail.
We glued down some white feathers onto the wings and added silver star stickers to our background, just like the beautiful stars he talks about in the story.
Thanks so much for coming by! Stop by tomorrow for another colorful craft to go along with this story!
I like to link my posts up to THESE fun link parties.

3's The Magic Number Layout by Tombow®Item# 32939
Love the look of the Polaroid, but you don't love the quality?? Make the frames yourself and use your high quality photos.
Designed by Jennie Garcia, courtesy of Tombow®
Step 1 Take the yellow frame and grid paper from the Recollections® Neapolitan Collection and cut a bit of the edges until you get the 11-7/8"x11-7/8" size. Remember to keep the whole frame, so just take a bit of each side.
Step 2 Mat the yellow with 12"x12" black cardstock. The multicolored patterned paper on the center will measure 9-5/8"x9-5/8" and the black cardstock mat will be 9¾"x9¾". Make a Polaroid using a Gypsy™ from Provo Craft®. You can make yours with your paper trimmer or craft knife. They are 3½"x4¼" and the window in the center measures 3"x3-1/8". The window is ¼" away from three sides.
Step 3 Take the fake Polaroid and emboss it with a Cuttlebug® folder (this is optional). Then place the photo behind the Polaroid frame.
Step 4 Mat the Polaroids to make them stand out from the bright background. The mats measure 3-5/8"x4-3/8". Use the blue patterned paper make a 1-3/8" strip of paper and punch one side with an EK Success® border punch, then glue it to black cardstock to mat it and with scissors follow the line of the border punch.
Step 5 Cut three flowers from the patterned paper. Use one of the tags from the punch-outs in the Create Collection and mat it with black cardstock, adding a little flower from the patterned paper. Add a little journaling with Recollections™ Alpha Stickers, an eyelet and a Recollections™ Adhesive Pearl on the flower.
Step 6 Mat one of the frame stickers and use an Alphabet Sticker for the number or whatever you desire. To make the banner you will need ten 1" circles folded in half and 15" of twine.
Step 7 Put the twine inside the folded circles and glue them together with the MONO multi-liquid glue. (Remember that the space between circles #5 and #6 should be a little bigger that the others.)
Step 8 If you would like to faux stitch (make the lines that simulate sewing stitches) then now would be a great time to do it. Now that you have prepped all the parts, start by putting together the multicolored piece in the yellow paper.
Step 9 Put it a little lower to leave some space in the top for the banner. Arrange the blue strip of paper under the fake Polaroids and also arrange the frame sticker, flowers and tag in the vertical center.
Step 10 Glue all the photos with the MONO permanent adhesive except for the one on the top left. Use Tombow® Power Tabs on that one (this is optional).
Step 11 Make a hole on each side of the blue strip of paper. Grab the end of the twine and put it between the Recollections™ brad prongs to hold it there while you put MONO multi-liquid glue on the twine. Mold twine inch by inch while applying extremely small quantities of MONO multi-liquid glue to hold the twine in place. Use the fine tip. Hide the center of the twine behind the flowers that you glued with Tombow® Power Tabs.
Step 12 Then add little Recollections™ rhinestone stars to spice up the twine and give it some magic. Also add three Recollections™ adhesive pearls on the center of the two flowers.
Step 13 Use the Recollections™ heart punch to put a little heart on the corner of three photos. For the banner put two small pieces of Tombow® Power Tabs in each circle. Make three holes to hold the Recollections™ brads that at the same time hold the twine.
Step 14 Once you have played with the placement, remove the paper from the Tombow® Power Tabs and start gluing the banner.

Kisses is a small-scale but affecting film that showcases the impressive talents of its two young actors. Emotionally and physically abused tweens Dylan and Kylie, set out on a twenty-four hour adventure in the big city in hopes of escaping their domestic problems. Searching for Dylan's big brother, who allegedly lives in Dublin, these two tough yet sweet kids from the suburbs discover that the city possesses both a dangerous and exhilerating side to it. Kisses effectively mixes together a romantic tale about childhood innocence with the grim depictions of an unforgiving urban environment.

As of late, the attention of the world's media has been drawn to the United Kingdom and the Royal Family. I don't have a British heritage in my ancestry, yet I have for a long time enjoyed studying British history, geography, arts, and culture. Part of that is some really thrilling music. KPL has a 3-CD set that serves as a good sampler of a wide variety of the best. As a collection of works by top composers that is conducted, played, and sung by some of the UK's finest musicians, these recordings are well worth the listening. One of my favorites on here is 'Crown Imperial' by Sir William Walton, which was the recessional at today's royal wedding.

PWA Event ::: Detailed Information
2012 Sylt, Germany
Event Location Info
Getting There
By Plane -- The nearest international airport is at Hamburg. From there you can fly to the regional Westland Airport (tel. 04651/920612). There's also regularly scheduled air service from Berlin and Düsseldorf.
By Train -- The only link between the mainland and the island of Sylt is the railroad causeway running from the mainland town of Niebüll. If you wish to bring your car to the island, you'll have to load it on the train at Niebüll for the slow ride. No advance booking is necessary -- you just arrive and take your chances. Passengers are carried free.
Westerland Bahnhof lies on the Westerland-Hamburg and the Westerland-Lübeck lines, with frequent connections. Seventeen trains arrive from Hamburg daily (trip time: 2 hr. 40 min.-3 hr. 20 min., depending on the train). For information, call tel. 01805/996633.
By Car-Ferry -- An alternative way of reaching Sylt is to take a car-ferry between the Danish port of Havneby, on the island of Romo (easily accessible via highway from Germany), and the German port of List, at the northern tip of Sylt. There are at least a dozen daily crossings between those points in summer, with a much-reduced schedule in winter. Reservations for your car are possible. Round-trip passage for a car with a driver and up to three passengers costs 80€ ($100). For information, call the Romo-Sylt Line (tel. 04651/870475).
By Bus -- The few buses that pull into Sylt are forced to ride the flatcars on the rail line across the Hindenburg Causeway for the final stretch of their journey. Many passengers prefer to get off in Niebüll and transfer onto one of the passenger trains that make the frequent crossings to Westerland from other parts of Germany and Europe. Rail fare between Niebüll and Westerland costs 20€ ($25) per person, round-trip. The ride takes between 30 and 45 minutes each way.
By Car -- Construction of a conventional bridge from Schleswig-Holstein to Sylt has never really been feasible. Therefore, cars headed to Sylt are loaded onto flatcars at the mainland railway junction of Niebüll and hauled out across the Hindenburg Damm (Hindenburg Causeway) to the railway station of Westerland. Drivers stay in their cars, with the doors locked, eventually arriving at Westerland 30 to 40 minutes later. For information on these and all other (conventional) trains between the German mainland and Sylt, call the Deutsche Bahn information service in Westerland at tel. 01805/996633. Trains depart at 30-minute intervals daily 5am to midnight. No reservations are accepted for hauling your car across. Round-trip transport for most cars costs 80€ ($100). Access to Niebüll is possible via the A7 Autobahn north or south.
Visitor Information
For information, contact the Fremdenverkehrszentrale, Am Bundesbahnhof Westerland (tel. 04651/9980). It's open May to October, daily 9am to 5pm; November to April, Monday to Saturday 9am to 4pm.

The vibe at the Lime restaurant in Norwalk, CT is a throwback to the late 70′s. Square sheets of glass protect faded, striped umber and orange tablecloths and customers' business cards are wedged between cloth and glass. A smattering of haphazardly framed photos of early 1980′s T.V. icons hang next to kitchen tools and framed notices of events from another era.

Lovely blocks! I have my eye on two sets of natural wooden blocks at the moment, but can't decide yet whether to go for the giant ones or the smaller one that will be great for fine motor fun. Still weighing pro's and con's, but *WISH* I could have gotten my hands on a set of these. I'll have to Google the manufacturer and see if I can find a supplier here in South Africa.
On a different topic: we are celebarting all things play dough on my blog this Thursday and I would be honoured if you and your girls would join in the fun. You can check out the details at http://joyfulmamasplace.blogspot.com/2010/09/oh-to-play-with-dough.html.
Thanks for the inspiration - I never miss a post and always leave excited to try some new things!

Oh so nice to see these in action! We love the Hape toys and have quite a few of them, but I wasn't sure if the rainbow blocks were a bit grown up for my two little girls. They look like heaps of fun, we'll definitely have to get some :-) Thanks for the review!

I think it looks pretty nice as is.
Thanks for your attention
I've an old-school D&D 3.5 DM trying to make it in a 4E world, and with all the changes I've felt compelled to create a new world to commemorate the occasion. I've laid out the general size, shape, and height of the land via photoshop, but I'm sure someone else could do a much better job.
Here's a link to the wiki I've set for the campaign, just for background info about the various regions.
Whether a simple touch-up or a complete redesign, please feel free to expound on what I've laid out here.
Thanks in advance for your efforts to improve my game!
I think it looks pretty nice as is.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

I can only agree with Ascension. Have a look at some of the tutorials you find here on the site and I bet that you can improve your map to something fantastic :-)
My finished maps
Mapping Worlds (My blog about mapping)
Imaginary maps (My facbook page devoted to mapping)
I agree with Ascension - looks really good ... the only thing that "jumped" at me was the "path of blood" that seemed a little dominating concidering all the other elements on the map (but then again - I don't know if its supposed too) ... but try reading some tutorials and perhaps do the map in another style as well - its good pratice

The Path of Blood area was a highlight layer I set in photoshop... I meant to put a transparency on it, but the ground is "saturated with blood", so the standout quality is kinda deserved.
Maybe give some examples of what you see it turning into? Looks perfectly use-able to me, but if you wanted it to be redone in a particular style, it would help the potential artist (or yourself, looks like you've got some decent skills to start, and would adapt quickly with suggestions) to know what direction you want it taken (atlas style, satellite view, hand drawn, etc).

Golden Fluid Acrylics are highly intense, permanent acrylics with a consistency close to heavy cream. Produced from lightfast pigments, they offer strong colors with thin consistencies. No fillers or extenders. Ideal for spraying, brushing, and staining.

carbazole dioxazine
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.

Help:Adopting a wikia
Redirected from Help:Wiki adoption
this wiki
The process of adopting a wikia is one where a contributor to any wikia that does not have active admins and/or bureaucrats can request administrator and bureaucrat rights. Alternately, a user who has administrator rights can request to gain bureaucrat rights as well. In both cases this allows them to "adopt" the wikia.
What are the guidelines?Edit
The guidelines are simple! You need to be an active, good faith contributor to the wikia who has shown regular activity building the wikia over a period of at least a week (or longer). The wikia that you want to adopt needs its former administrator(s) to have been inactive for at least 60 days; you can check this by going to Special:Listadmins. There can be exceptions to this in certain cases, but generally this rule is followed. You can adopt no more than one wikia per month.
If there are other users contributing to the wikia in the last month, you should first talk to them so the entire community has a say in who the next admin should be. You can find a list of contributors at Special:ListUsers. The best way to talk to them for one or two users is a message on their walls or talk pages; for more users please start a blog or forum post. Be sure to include links to any relevant discussion(s) in the "Other information" section of your request.
You can find the rest of the guidelines to adopt and create a request on the adoption requests forum.
How do I adopt?Edit
Follow these simple steps and you will be on your way to adopting a wikia!
- Read over the adoption guidelines to make sure you are eligible to adopt the wikia, and the wikia is eligible to be adopted.
- If you are eligible, scroll down and click "Create new request."
- Answer the questions that appear so the staff member who reviews your request has a bit more information. If there is already a request for your wikia, simply put "My Wikia Name (2)" (or 3, or 4...) in the "Name of wikia" field.
- Click "submit" and your request will be online!
Once your request is made, please allow 7-10 days for a reply from a staff member. Official replies will come from a member of the Community Support Team, who will have in their signatures.
When your request is reviewed by a staff member, it will be marked as either "on hold" or "completed."

It took four quarters and then some to decide the championship game of the Henry County Invitational Tournament, but once the dust settled on Dec. 29, South Oldham was the last team standing after a gutsy 80-75 overtime win over rival North Oldham.
Out of the gate, it looked like North might have a puncher's chance, getting 14 crucial first quarter points from guard David Levitch to take a 19-14 advantage through the first eight minutes.
But from there, South settled down, opening up a 21-12 run to retake the lead at halftime at 35-31.

So for the entirety of this week's grindfest, I have only been playing Assassins. As such I have grinded a ridiculous amount of battles with them. On the brightside, I can say that Sins are a fun file to play, and I haven't gotten bored of playing them.
After I reached 100 battles I decided to save the image, to show that it is basically a 68% Win rate file, or at least my build, in my hands is. Give or take dc's or the every now and then free wins.
This is the final results of this grind event, of when I finally reached enough eggs to claim seasonal marchare.
I might attempt to write a guide on them, if people are interested.
Due to a good amount of feedback, and my rather high interest in this subtype, it looks like I will actually put in the effort to write a guide for them. For now the guide will describe the Lawtia Rush version I used for the Easter Grind Event. I will test out other variations as I collect more and more of the other sins and cards.
So people probably have tried out playing a sin file before, and were met with varying degrees of success, but most likely not enough to actually be called a legitimate file type, that could hold its own against all the various evil files that lie in Folart. I could be wrong, but hey I have not been around that long. For the months that I have been actively playing on Alteil, I can say that sins were quite a rarity to be seen, but there were a good couple of people that were trying to make them work. The main factors for why I believe this file type has way more potential now, is due to the newest additions to the subtype. Marchare, Death Calling, and Ex Lelein, from Ex 11, Set 12, and the Latest Errata.
I first began my journey with the sin file, during the first day of the new errata, due to the rather interesting buff given to a previously almost worthless assassin card. Ex Lelein's new open skill made me jump at the idea of running the file type. A good number of ideas I used in my sin file came, from my fellow guild member yamyam, since he is the original sin player of our guild.
A little warning though, Sins require a good amount of ex cards to actually stand a chance, and not be a hilarious train wreck. Much like with True God Church this is combined, with the fact that a lot of the good units are Characters, meaning that in addition to the ex, one needs to gather 3* and 4* cards too. So this file type is not easy to acquire, meaning it is not new player friendly at all.
Why should people even bother playing the file?:
One reason is that the file is fun to play, it's a good choice if somebody feels like taking a break from grinding ridiculously op files, that slowly turn the player into a emotionless robot. Also it really is not a bad file. Sins strength lies in their aggressive start; they have powerful tools early game, such as Lebeau, Marchare, combined with probably the easiest way to make sure Seria ss hits a double drain.
They also have a nice bag of tricks at their disposal now, such as lp destruction, ss immune unit, close skills, good open skills, a variety of interesting action skills, as well as having a powerful tribal atk buffer. A sin file's greatest fear should be a drawn out battle, they have to end the battle as early as they can, or they will be pushed back and defeated. They simply don't have the stamina to continue the fight, due to the majority of them having incredibly low hp, with none being a free revival.
Units used in the file:
Main units:
Night Assassin/ Marchare: Marchare is a very strong unit, with 40 atk and 4 agl and 2 rng, so you have a nice strong and fast hitter that can just sit behind the front line. But the most interesting part about her, is that she is a SS immune unit, who can iczer for free. Meaning she is a very strong unit to play early as she will not be killed by any of those 40 dmg ss that are commonly seen in the first slot, as well as potentially getting in a free iczer if one can wipe the field with their own first ss triggering. She has 20 hp, and well one honestly shouldn't be too bothered about it, since it becomes quite clear that sins are doomed to live with 30 hp or lower generally. Instead one can use this to their advantage, by using her with Ex Lelein, but I will talk about that more in her info. Marchare also has the additional ability to focus her, which allows her to perform a double atk next turn with her auto skill. With her capabilities one probably won't be hitting rest on her, instead opting to go atk, iczer, or focus her. In most cases she will be the unit that one should summon on turn two.
Killing Machine/ LeBeau: LeBeau as Ruki would point out, is fast as balls being at 5 agl almost no other unit will normally be going before him, and with 40 atk he is going to be doing some damage. The down side to using LeBeau, is that you have to deal with his auto skill where he hurts himself every turn for -10 hp, I personally like imagining that it is a nosebleed he gets from thinking about Annarose's breasts. Anyways this auto skill makes him a ticking time bomb since he only has 30 hp one shouldn't expect him to last the entire game. On the Brightside his close skill makes up for it, letting him hit 30 more dmg on death. He is also has Slash as an action skill letting him hit an entire row for 2 sp. He is another strong contender for early play, and probably ideal to play him turn two instead if your shade gets backlashed turn one, or you find yourself playing against pixies.
Black Assassin/ Mulna: Mulna is our main support buffer, boosting another assassin's atk power with her own. That being said she is a strong as heck for a lv2 with 40 atk of her own, allowing her to boost up units like Marchare, for her auto atk, and LeBeau's Fast assault and Slash, while being able to take out enemies herself. She is at average speed of 3 agl, so on most cases she can get a hit in before dying with her 20 hp. But she does have another trick up in her arsenal, Miscorde her action skill that costs 2 sp, where she does her atk to a random enemy unit, and if it hits 0 hp or lower a closed enemy card will be sent directly to the cemetery. It is a very powerful skill, that is well worth the 2sp if landed correctly. Also note that it is random enemy unit, but it does not need to be in rng, meaning you could just stick Mulna in the backrow and use her action skill if you want to do damage.
Magic Doll –Augmented-: Now this card is the only main unit in this file that is not of the Assassin subtype, and the main reasons I have even included her is due to her help dealing with a couple of weaknesses the subtype has. For one she is a free revival card, and two she has a close skill that does damage if killed while she is disengaged. Basically this makes her a LeBeau that's not constantly trying to kill herself, and does not cost anything to revive. This helps deal with files that have units with high agl themselves, or agl control, like Refess warriors, Pixies, Magic Dolls, Shrine Knights, and Wizard Kingdom. Because unlike those file types Assassins do not have good ways of retrieving their units from the cem (Cait Sith ss, Treasure Hunter ss, Sumer&Fellana ss), free revivals or revivers within or for their subtype (Sk 2, Elaine, Alleria, Sumer, Md Mobility, Md Undead, Md Aug, Dear Cattelya, Haste soldier, Ex Wiz Soldier.), or agl buffers/control (Sk 3, Belfyna, Mitzett, Elite Fencer, Mage Knight of Regus.)
Tech cards:
Crest Spy: The infamous Crest spy, yeah she is tech, and yeah she is part of the Assassin subtype. The reason for her being tech is due to having plenty of fights where you will not need to use her at all. She is here for a very specific reason, because she eats Lp, killing off 3 lp for 1 sp. She will make all those high lp files quake in fear, as they are unable to stop her rampage. Combined with Marchare they will be forced to field something to protect their lp, at which point sins have enough tricks to be able to deal with standalone units. For all those Mid-Big files that have fallen thanks to her, please thank NitroDino for giving me the idea of teching her. She replaces marchare for turn two if the opposing enemy has 12lp or higher, it gets more risky to play her if they have 10-11 lp. Oh by the way if you iczer into Shvara ss with her, you make it whiff, it is pretty funny.
Death Calling: Death calling is a great unit she gives the Assassin subtype open skill damage, 20 dmg open is very useful, allowing you to murder those squishy support units, or other fast units with low hp. However it must be noted that she requires another sin on field, either alive or closed to have her effect activate. She has decent stats with 20 atk, and 4 agl, but she isn't just a one trick pony. She has her action skill Poison Wound, which sets an enemy to hp=10 and poisons them so they just can't rest that damage off. It lets her laugh at high hp units, and allows for an ally to kill them off. Basically she is a sac unit; generally speaking one shouldn't bother reviving her, unless her skill is really needed.
Ex Dance Macrabre/ Lelein: Ex Lelein got her buff to actually be a useful card in the errata, and it is a very important buff for the Sin subtype. Her buff gave her a new open skill that allows for her to swap hp of a friendly assassin on field, with a targeted enemy unit. Basically it allows for the Sin user to take advantage of the fact that most of their units have low hp, and lets the enemy feel their pain. Allows for the easiest way to set up Seria ss when combined with Marchare being on field, and also for LeBeau to recover his hp, and extend his time on the field. An added bonus is that if timed right you can counter a dmg grim, so yes laugh at that guy who played dragon breath to kill something when they have Allind on the field, while you play ex lelein. This basically makes her a lv2 Sakura that is not restricted to just characters so enjoy.
Warning Knife: Warning Knife sets a unit to max hp=10, boosts atk by 20, and agl by 1. Now in a sin file you benefit from both using it on your own units, and on enemy units, due to your units having low hp anyways it shouldn't bother you, just do not do it on LeBeau for obvious reasons. Now the main reason this card is here, is so you can deal with undead tanks easier, such as Hellsmoke and Broken Virus, without having to rely on using Francis. As well as making units vulnerable to dying from LeBeau, and Md aug's close skill, or ss. Allows for easy kills against standalone units as well.
Corruption: Much for the same reason warning knife is in the file, except this one does max hp=30, atk=30, def=0, agl=2, rng=2 basically this can be used to slow down fast units as well, and for dealing with those ridiculous high def units.
Common Cards:
Shade: Used due to being the standard open card for a lawtia rush, opening sac, and the ability to drain a sp if timed right is always good.
Salamander: Salamander is here so you can kill owl sage without needing another assassin on field; because yes, people return your lv3 turn 2 cards. Also for setting up seria ss as well in case the enemy has def. It is also quite strong and it is a rng 2 unit, so you do not have to clutter your front row.
Death's Embrace: Used to drain sp for painful field wipes, and forcing people to sac units, as well as letting you slow down those mid-big files while you iczer the crap out of them and for dealing with immortal lycans or endgame units like Zug that live off sp.
Bitter Destiny: Allows to send those closed units that the opponent is sacing to the cemetary, to prevent from gaining their sp back or activating their ss. A successful Bitter Destiny is quite capable of changing a defeat to a victory.
Soul Skills:
Fog of Death/ Seria: Deals 20dmg to two random enemy units, and for each of those that hit 0 hp or lower, -1 sp next turn for the opponent. So potentially a -2sp next turn, which can force the opponent into sacing units they did not want to sac, as well as giving a field advantage. It is a very powerful ss when landed correctly, and sins can pull it off with death calling and ex lelein opens, warning knife or a salamander.
Dragon Path King/ Gafc: Does 40 dmg and -1 sp next turn, it is used to further disrupt your opponents flow, and has the benefit of having the -1 sp always being able to hit, with the added bonus of dealing dmg to potentially kill something.
Command Unit/ Violet x2: Does -2sp and retrieval of two random cards in cem, allows for you to potentially hinder your opponent even more in the sp game, as well as allowing the potential retrieval of open skill units like Death Calling, Ex Lelein or salamander, or bring back copies of md aug, and LeBeau. Please note that Marchare being ss immune makes her irretrievable from the cemetery.
Frost Sorceress/ Rasam: Engages 2 enemy units for 2 turns, allows for stalling to build field again, or to keep annoying units from doing their thing.
Death Dragon/ Zangadylan: Deals dmg 30 to target enemy unit, but gives the enemy 3 sp, but honestly if this activates you probably need to kill something, so you can combo this with warning knife or corruption, if they have not been used yet, for a guaranteed kill, to help push the battle back in your favor and hopefully pull a win.
Battle Replays:
This is the link the my sin battle archive
Info on other sin units, and match ups will come next as well as variations.
For any questions please ask in the comments, and for those willing to share other versions please do.
Also looking for a way to record videos without needing to buy more slots. Please and Thank you.
While I haven't really gotten more testing done on other variants (due to not really owning enough cards to try them out), and partially because the current build is pretty much the ideal version for a lv3 rush version of the file(In my opinion).
I would like to say this the file type has gotten me to 1901rp! and I just feel like adding in the win's and loses of the file type so far.
This is the first build that you can see at the beginning of the guide.
This is after obtaining Seasonal Marchare (so same as first build just more pretty)
This is the current build it has violet ss changed out of Cornelia ss.

Smile! Our Top 10 Photography Tips.
Need a few photography tips for Easter, spring weddings and graduations? Below are our Top Ten Favorites from the experts at the Lands' End Photo Studio. We'd love to see your special holiday photos! Feel free to share them with us at Facebook.
1. Step up: If you think you're close enough, get closer.
2. Sit down: With kids, get down to their level.
3. Open the drapes: Try to use natural light.
4. Become invisible: The best pictures happen when the subjects don't know you're watching.
5. Look behind: Shoot in front of simple and uncluttered backgrounds. And watch for branches "growing" out of a subject's hair.
6. Steady! Improve image details and try using a tripod.
7. Make them laugh: A sure-fire way to make people look unnatural is to shout "smile" just before you click. Instead: Tell a joke or make a funny face.
8. Keep it simple: When dressing the family for a highly photographed event avoid busy patterns like plaids, stripes and polka dots. Too distracting in a photo.
9. Annual pic: When taking the annual family photo, coordinate outfits to flatter every one.
10. Add pets: They naturally relax the clan for more natural expressions. And after all, they're family, too.
*Bonus Tip: Remind subjects of this when taking a group photo – If you can't see the photographer, the camera won't see you.

Fire Seeds are seeds off of the Fire Seed Bush. They are used in certain potions. In order to be collected, the seeds must be cooled down. The fastest way of doing this is using the Glacius Charm, although if one waits for a moment, the seed's temperature will lower until they can be collected. Hagrid used these seeds to maintain the temperature of his fire high while breeding out his baby dragon, Norberta.

First off, my apologies for the lack of posts in recent weeks. Ive been consumed with covering the municipal election and taking care of some issues at home. (The stork hasnt yet left a package on our doorstep, but will soon...hopefully.) While newsgathering for the municipal election, Ive decided The Barenaked Ladies should come and remake their breakthrough album Gordon based on the race and candidates in St. Johns. The track list for the would include Hello Shannie, If I had $44 million, Ward 5, Mark Wilson, Incumbent (Named Doc), and Be My Simon Lono. A sampling of the lyrics: Hello Shannie, youve found an frenemy in Keith, woh-oh, woh-oh If I had $44 million, I would lower the mill rate (Spoken: The real mill rate? Thats cool.) This is me in Ward 5, baby. This is me in Ward 5... Drove downtown in the rain, 9:30 on Saturday night. Just to check out the reggae show-oh-oh...Now Im questioning what Doc said just like Marky Wilson did. Im an incumbent named Doc. I really hope this election is a lock. Theres no need to be afraid of us...Harbour clean-up, proven and Metrobus. I know when I say this, I hope youre not taking me literal, but I dont like all these people slagging him for working for the Liberals...You can be my Simon Lono. You can follow me wherever I vote. Be my, be my, be my Simon Lono... And maybe if we got candidate Sheilagh O'Leary to photograph the Barenaked Ladies, we could convince the band to do the bonus track One Frank Frank Galgays running in Ward 2, theres lots of whoo-hoo and little voo-doo cause hes as raucous as a sailor. A Franky panky, blanky hanky, Alfalfa and Spanky, this election hes got er nailer...Theres been one Frank since you voted for him, marked your X on the ballot and youre not sorry. I am sorry for writing this, though. Yup, I'm really looking forward to the election wrapping up Tuesday.

The Challengers' Supplement Program
By JJ Virgin, CNS, CHFI
In The Ultimate Weight Solution, Dr. Phil says that if you are overweight, then you are malnourished by definition, because so many of the foods you are choosing are nutritionally bankrupt. This bold statement is backed up repeatedly in the scientific literature, most recently in the June 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. A recent study reported there showed that most Americans weren't even getting the Recommended Daily Intake1 (RDI)* of vitamins and minerals, much less the optimal levels of them, and that this suboptimal intake of vitamins and minerals is a risk factor for many chronic diseases (heart, diabetes, cancer, etc.). A summary of current research clearly shows that those who don't supplement with a high quality multivitamin/mineral and antioxidant formula are at risk for deficiencies.**
Think of supplementation with high quality vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and essential fatty acids as your daily health insurance. Make sure that the supplements you take are from a reputable, high quality company. Your body can only use what it absorbs so you want to make sure that the company you choose starts with the best raw ingredients and then combines them in forms that your body can use most effectively. Here is what the Ultimate Weight Loss Challengers are taking from Designs for Health.
At Breakfast
1 Twice Daily Multi
1 B Supreme
1 Omega Synergy Marine
2-3 Osteoforce***
At Dinner
1 Twice Daily Multi
1 Omega Synergy Marine
2-3 Osteoforce***
In addition to the Twice Daily Multi, I also put the challengers on B Supreme. The B vitamins help the body handle stress. Most of us are under more stress than our bodies ideally were designed to handle due to lack of sleep, overworking, missing meals, sugar and caffeine, etc. B vitamins are a great way to give your body some additional support WHILE you are working on your healthy lifestyle.
The challengers are on a high quality fish oil blend supplement, Omega Synergy Marine. Fish oils have a lot of fantastic benefits for your heart, brain and joints. You need to ensure that you are getting a high quality brand here as these can be rancid or contain PCBs and heavy metals, thus turning them into a health risk instead of a health benefit. And finally, the challengers are on OsteoForce, a multi-mineral bone support formula. Vitamins don't work without minerals and getting enough of our macrominerals, calcium and magnesium, along with other bone supporting nutrients like Vitamin D and Boron, are critical for long-term bone health.
* RDI is the recommended amount to avoid diseases of deficiency like scurvy or pellagra, NOT the amount needed for optimal health and to avoid the major diseases of aging like heart disease, osteoporosis, cancer and diabetes.
** Medical professionals and health care practitioners looking for more information on the research supporting the above program can contact Designs for Health support and technical department at 800-847-8302 x 105 or via the Web site, www.designsforhealth.com.
*** Women should take 3 OsteoForce twice a day, men should take 2 OsteoForce twice a day
Special thanks to Designs for Health for supplying the Ultimate Weight Loss Challengers with their daily supplement program.
