Eminent Domain: Abuse of Government Power?
Recorded: Tuesday, January 31, 2006
In June 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Kelo v. New London that local governments may force property owners to sell out and to make way for private economic development, even if the property is not blighted. In response, many states have passed legislation and proposed amendments to their state constitutions to block this unprecedented government assault on the rights of property owners.

Size, materials, density levels – all these things impact your sound (or not-so-sound) sleep. If you're waking up tired or achy, you might want to take another look at that headrest. Scroll down and find your sleep style. Then decide if it's time for an upgrade.
Back Sleepers
Go for a medium density that will cradle your head. Overstuffed pillows guarantee a stiff neck in the morning.
Stomach Sleepers
Opt for a thinner pillow with low to medium density. Look for a high thread count that feels smooth on your face.
Side Sleepers
Light, natural down lets you bury your head without sinking straight to the mattress. Choose a medium to firm density to align the spine.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - What are some of our politicians doing the day after election day? They are commemorating the strides D.C. public school schools and government have made in serving healthier, less-processed foods in cafeterias and lunch rooms.
D.C.

On the menu today were easy to make curry chicken and black bean salads (see recipes below).
This is the American Heart Association's National Eating Healthy Day, but there is another big event on the horizon.
Join WUSA 9's Anita Brikman and Howard Bernstein for the Greater Washington Heart Walk that kicks off at 9 a.m. this Saturday at Nationals Stadium. You can still register HERE.

When a man cums in someone's mouth and he spits it back into the man who cummed in his and swallows it.

Since "ball"ing is a common slang term for having sex, it means simply having sex outside in the snow.
My lady and I had a snowball last night. I don't know if it was the chill on the backside (initially shocking, but extremely erotic for some reason), or being outdoors under the moonlight that made us so excited.

Brown Ochre provides artists with earthtones from cream to brown and is a dull, dark variety of Yellow Ochre. Its transparency varies widely from opaque shades to more transparent ones, which are valued for their use as glazes. It has good hiding power, produces a quick drying paint, and can be safely mixed with other pigments. The highest quality Brown Ochre comes from Cyprus, where it is yellow in its raw form and is roasted to get the deeper brown-red varieties that result when water is removed. (See Yellow Ochre, PY42/43.)
Brown Ochre has excellent permanence.
Brown Ochre is non-toxic.
Ochre comes from the Greek word ochros, meaning pale yellow. It has been used since prehistoric times, and evidence of its use has been found in some of the earliest known cave paintings in Lascaux, France. It has also been called Goethite, after the German philosopher and mineralogist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832).

Northern California yoga regionals come to Three Stages in Folsom
Two years ago Matt Guyton attended the Northern California Regional Yoga Asana Championships in Stockton, intently watching the competitors as they performed. Little did he know a year later he would be competing in the same event and would walk away as the winner, securing a spot secured in nationals held later in the year in Los Angeles. Guyton, a 35-year-old Citrus Heights resident, will defend his Northern California Regional title on Saturday, Jan. 14 at Three Stages in Folsom, when the top yoga practitioners — male, female and youth — compete for the right to advance to nationals, this year held in New York in March. "When I was watching the competition in 2010, I was sitting there basically judging the competitors and I thought if I can talk it, than I better walk it," said Guyton, who practices at Bikram Yoga in Folsom, the host of this year's event. "Through a lot of inspiration and motivation from Hillary (Wall), I decided to compete and see what I'm capable of doing." Wall, the female winner of last year's Northern California Regional, who also tied for first in 2010, is not competing this year, but instead is emceeing the event and helping out with timing. She encourages people to come watch the show. "It's not really a competition against others; it's more of a competition against yourself," Wall said. "The best reason to go is to be inspired by what these people can do. Yoga is becoming more popular and people want to do it in their minds, but if they go and see the show, it might be the motivation they need to actually go and do it." Nicole George, a 29-year-old resident of El Dorado Hills, will also compete in the event. Like Guyton, her first competition was at last year's Northern California Regionals and it was an eye-opening experience. "I had only been practicing yoga for six months so I was really green," George said. "You can't hide who you are when you're on stage performing in front of a group of people. It just exemplifies who you are. I knew more about myself after that competition than I ever knew before. It was an awesome experience." Besides the well-known physical benefits of yoga, George said it's helped her in other ways. "It balances me out — my emotions, my hormones, my energy," she said. "It highlights those things great about me and it also highlights the things that I need to work on. If you're honest with yourself, you will do it." Folsom resident Aaron Hutchinson, 41, will be a first-time competitor at the event and is looking forward to it. He's only been practicing yoga for a little more than a year, but has fallen in love with it. As an accomplished triathlete, a sport he's been competing in for 16 years, yoga is his new love. "The reason I got into yoga was to help me in my training for triathlons," Hutchinson said. "It's been hugely beneficial for my breathing and of course my flexibility. It's been huge for me; the difference has been night and day. I feel so many parts of my body now. When I'm on my bike in the low-pro position, I'm in a zone. When I'm running, I'm calm, consistent and relaxed. Everything is so much easier now." Hutchinson said yoga has helped him to be centered, balanced and focused. Yoga has changed his life. "That first class I took was the toughest thing that I've ever done," he said. "I knew then, though, that yoga was going to be cool. It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but it's the most rewarding. I've been doing triathlons for 16 years, but if someone told me I'd have to choose between triathlons or yoga, I'd choose yoga." At the Northern California Regionals, competitors are on stage for three minutes. Everyone performs the same five postures and then does two of their own that showcases their skills and abilities. Athletes are judged on their balance, flexibility and strength, as their mental focus and ability to concentrate also shines through. Winners will be announced in the men's, women's and youth division. Seventy-five to 100 competitors are expected. Tickets, which cost $18, can be purchased at norcalyogaregionals.com or at threestages.net. The event starts at 10 a.m. and will be finished by 4 p.m. NorCal Yoga championships When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 14 Where: Three Stages, Folsom Cost: $18 Tickets: threestages.net, norcalyogaregionals.com

Alton, Illinois
All About Alton, IL
Across the Mighty Mississippi from the metropolis of St. Louis, MO sets a World of Wonder—the historic river town of Alton, Illinois.
Though small in size, the Greater Alton "River Bend area" is big on hospitality—and rich in history, attractions and activities—that make it a place you will want visit again and again.
Paralleled much of the way by the Mississippi River and the Sam Vadalabene Bike Trail, this section of Highway 100 is one of only 26 national scenic byways in the entire country. Voted one of the "Seven Wonders of Illinois," the Illinois Legislature described it as, "the most beautiful stretch of the entire Mississippi River."
Be sure to stop by the Alton Convention and Visitors Center and pick up your free Scenic Byway brochure and CD tour that will tell you about the byway communities and historic sites along the way. The tour is also available on Ipods that are available for loan to visitors.
The Byway is also paralleled part of the way by the Heartland Rivers Wine Trail. What could be better than exploring the area while sampling wines at one or more of the area's five different wineries?
You will also want to visit Pere Marquette Lodge and State Park, the largest state park in the state of Illinois. Pere Marquette is also home to horseback riding, miles and miles of hiking trails, and scenic overlooks with fabulous panoramic views of the Mississippi River valley.
Every autumn people from around the country converge on Alton to enjoy the incredible fall foliage. Described as "the New England of the Midwest", you can only describe nature's display as, "spectacular"' Fall foliage driving maps are available at most bed and breakfasts or at the Alton Convention and Visitors Center.
Every winter the Alton area is an American Bald Eagles watchers paradise with the largest congregation of eagles outside Alaska. Be sure to take advantage of one of the many bus, trolley, limousine, or self guided eagle tours.
With the nearby Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary the area is also a haven for white pelicans, egrets, blue heron, geese, and migratory birds of almost every kind.
Popular river front attractions include the Alton Marina; the $7 million Great Rivers Museum and Interpretive Site, Argosy Alton Casino; boat, kayak, and canoe rental; and narrated and themed river tours aboard the excursion boat Heron.
Steeped in history, Alton was the site of the sixth and final Lincoln – Douglas debate, the infamous Alton Confederate Prison, and the native American Piasa Bird cliff art. Minutes away in Wood river is the Lewis & Clark point of departure trail site #1 and $8.5 million museum. Re-enactments and other special events are scheduled at the facility throughout the year.
The Alton History Museum is a treasure trove of area historic items and artifacts from the time when the Native Americans roamed the land through the twentieth century. You will also find a permanent display there about Robert Wadlow, 'Alton's Gentle Giant', the tallest man who ever lived.
The Alton area is host to over fifty antique shops, nine golf courses (including the only Arnold Palmer designed and managed course in Greater St. Louis or the state of Illinois,) fifteen bed and breakfasts and guest houses ranging from the quaint to the luxurious, national chain motels, spas, restaurants, fine dining, and night life.

Stylish product holding up well
This swimsuit seems to be holding up nicely against the chlorine. My son likes the fit, once we got him the correct size.
TYRs sizing chart seems a bit off. We ordered the size suggested by chart based on my son's measurements and had to return it for 2 sizes bigger! Retrun process was very easy with swimoutlet.com.
But product is holding up great and is very fashionable in the pool.

Founded in Southern California in 1985, TYR™ has since developed a reputation for high-quality products and equipment. TYR competition swimwear and triathlon gear have been a dominant force in their respective industries. The company is also known for its TYR goggles, swim apparel, triathlon wetsuits and a wide variety of swimming equipment.
TYR was the first company to introduce a pair of goggles designed to fit a woman's face (the TYR T-72). TYR was also responsible for the famous red bathing suits featured on the hit television series "Baywatch." TYR consults with current and former athletes when developing its products. Swimmers know that TYR is a leader in swimsuits, warm-up suits, and swim training equipment. The TYR Tracer Series is one of the most advanced technical suit lines on the market. The TYR Hurricane wetsuits and the TYR Torque collections include top-of-the-line suits for the competitive swimmer.
TYR has also moved into competitive running equipment. From running shirts to shorts, its apparel is designed with the runner in mind. Built with moisture wicking fabric and antimicrobial material, TYR running apparel is designed to give the athlete the most comfortable, dry clothing on the market.
The name "TYR" is derived from the Norse god of warriors, who is said to have embodied victory and glory. Much the same can be said about the athletes who started TYR. Executive Vice President, Steve Furniss, was an Olympian who competed in the 1972 and 1976 Summer Games, and captained the 76th U.S. Olympic Swim Team.

Why does that look like a cartoon-style dinosaur sneaking up on someone to me?
Hammerfall isn't necessarily a town, but more a region within a region. There should be room for a few towns here, probably under one (assumed) leader (Ten Towns, anyone?).
By my calculations, this area should be about 20 miles from point to point. I'm going to put a small (as compared to the world map as a whole) lake in the center of it, and an inlet from the coast to allow for shipping.
This map will serve as an overland map for the Hammerfall region, and then we can zoom in even further for the individual town that make up the area.
I don't know if I'll keep this style or not. I think for it's purpose a top-down map would be best, but it'll take a bit for me to figure all that out. I might be working on this one for a while...
I'd love some feedback and ideas.

Ah.... I thought it was a bulemic dinosaur sticking its finger down its throat. I like your interpretation better.
But at least it's not another chicken!

Maybe this one looks a bit less prehistoric...
The main city is the small peninsula in the lake. There will be several other farming towns and villages scattered around to make up the rest of the region.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
- For other funny uses, see Work (disambiguation).
Much of the field of economics is devoted to analyzing the phenomenon called work. Essentially, there are things you want done, and it is human nature to want other people to do them so you don't have to do them yourself.
Theory of work
When there is a body of work you want done, and a body of bodies you can get to do the work for you, then it's customary to divide the work into the amount that you want each body to do for you. Consequently, each one has a job. A person thus gainfully employed is known by the Yiddish term, schlep.
When there is no other way to induce or trick the schlep to do the work, it's customary to give him something of value. This is called the pay for the work.
But there's always another way. Two of the most commonly used are:
- The schlep gets told that the business survives on informality, and being a stickler on trivial points such as bounced paychecks is a sign of bad teamwork. (Although things got very formal when you arrived ten minutes late last Tuesday.)
- The Vice President in his silk business suit appears in the workplace and declares that this insistence on timely payment disappoints me.
Amount of work
When the Pilgrims colonized America, there were famously only several thousand jobs. Currently, there are 190,000,000 jobs in the United States. No one knows how the number of jobs has increased, because for most of the history of the U.S., there were no jobs programs at all.
During the Bush administration, there were hundreds of jobs programs, but the number of jobs decreased. Everyone knows why this happened; jobs were being "outsourced" and sent "offshore," though no one has ever seen a job pass through Customs, and no one has ever gone to prison for being caught smuggling a job into or out of any country. Even two people carrying a desk across the border would attract suspicion.
Now, the pro-labor Obama administration has turned the tide. It has proposed higher business taxes, new rules for employer-provided health insurance, and certification of unions without those pesky secret ballots. His Secretary of Labor has touted her tighter enforcement of wage-and-hour and job-safety laws. And still no one is hiring. Go figure!
Every government in the world believes that any job done by a foreigner results in exactly one fewer job for a voting citizen. This is why tourists are not allowed to do anything useful during their vacation, even in the case that one's wallet gets stolen, and the most prosperous countries in Latin America throw a fit if you bring along a gadget that might be used productively, such as a computer or a movie camera.
Job-creation programs
Both Bush and Obama have ministered to a weak economy with "stimulus programs," where the government pays the schleps to do work that either would have been done anyway, or would not have been done anyway. Whichever is the case, you can see the utility of stimulus programs.
Where does the pay come from? Economists believe it is one of the following:
- From our grandchildren
- It is borrowed from Red China, which will never call for repayment, or even for us to abrogate our defense treaties
- The pay isn't real, but the schleps are too stupid to notice.
Another job-creation idea is that there would be more work for the unemployed if the productive people did less of it. The United States pioneered the 40-hour work week; later, France dealt with a recession by mandating a 36-hour work week (18 hours, excluding time spent on smoking breaks and kissing co-workers on the cheeks). It stands to reason that, if you stopped working late, the guy in the back office would put down the copy of Hustler and instantly pick up the slack. Labor unions apply this theory to improve the common good, by frequently ensuring that no one does any work at all.
Countries from Zimbabwe to El Humidor have extended this theory, believing that peasants will have more work if the government ensures that other people do not hoard all the work to themselves. Both countries have broken up entire industries to redistribute work to the little guy (notably, the little guy carrying a sign in support of the Maximum Leader). This conveniently puts jobs under the control of people who know nothing about the business or even about work.
"Good jobs at good wages"
Michael Dukakis was the first U.S. Presidential candidate to advocate "good jobs at good wages," as opposed to the jobs that would exist if he were not President. Even though he never became President, the government has promoted this goal in the following ways:
- It ensures that bad jobs at bad wages--anything under $7.25 an hour--are illegal, even if you and your boss agree to it.
- It sends inspectors into workplaces to ensure compliance, and that every job is safe and that none create a "hostile or threatening" work environment. This is judged by the prudish old maid who doesn't like the centerfold on your wall, the summer intern who is convinced that every sidelong glance means you hate him, the man who wears a dress to work and scares away the customers, and of course the young black man constantly inventing reasons why the rest of you are racists.
- To know where to send the inspectors, it requires registration of all employers. Radio commentator Mark Levin hired a professional from New York, and when the forms from New York State rolled out of his fax machine, regretted aloud that he had not tried Pakistan instead.
- Certain professions are entirely regulated. Notoriously, no one can become a licensed hairdresser in the District of Columbia without taking a long course in grooming white people's hair, and no one can become a cabbie in New York City without certification that his dialect is inscrutable.
The Humphrey-Hawkins Act gives the Federal Reserve the duty to promote "full employment." The only way it could do this is by making the value of the dollar go to hell. But don't worry, it also has the legal duty to defend the value of the dollar.
Unemployment compensation
When a person cannot find work, he ceases to be a schlep and becomes a client, eligible to receive unemployment compensation. He will live a lifestyle to which the British have assigned the excellent term, being on the suck.
Regularly, and especially leading up to an election, Congress increases the amount of compensation available. In 2009, despite the immediate success of the Obama stimulus, Congress proposed 14 extra weeks of compensation for workers in states with high unemployment. This gave Congressmen from low-unemployment states the chance to shed tears in the hearing room; ultimately, they got 14 extra weeks, the high-unemployment states got 20 extra weeks, and the bidding ended. Workers throughout America can now get pay for over a year without working, and your Congressman proved he cares about your plight.
If this seems like a perfect con, there is a catch. The former schlep must report to the unemployment office periodically to prove he is looking for a new job. In most cases, he must prove he has gone to a certain number of job interviews every week. A typical job interview goes something like this:
- Employer: Well, then, what are your skills?
- Schlep: I glue together phonograph records.
- Employer: We don't produce phonograph records. No one does any more. What else can you do?
- Schlep: I'm very good with phonograph records. And my old job paid $15 an hour. That's what I'm worth.
Oddly, most such interviews do not lead to employment, and the schlep has no choice but to continue receiving benefits. On the third of the month, a new check will arrive, the schlep will be buying everyone drinks at the bar, and they will have to listen to him complain that "there isn't any work."
Historical origin of work
One day a long time ago, the great Pharaoh decided that his golden age should end, because it was boring. He achieved this by killing all the gods he had enslaved to plough his fields. He killed them dead, and they were dead forever. (That also explains why there's only one god these days, God.)
Anyway, after Pharaoh killed off all them goddies, he started to get old, and his subjects started to get hungry, and Pharaoh put them to work in the fields. He told them it was an aphrodisiac, and they believed him until he started laughing. Ever since then, commoners have known from birth that work is for suckers.
It is because work was formalized in Biblical times that the economic terms surrounding work are described using Yiddish terms.
Work by region
Economists analyze the phenomenon of work by dividing the world into regions: Richie-Bitches, European Maggots, and Sand-Diggers.
First World
In the U.S.A., Canada, and some enlightened European countries (as well as Britain and France), work consists mostly of surfing the Internet for pr0n whenever the boss is not looking.
For this, the workers expect health benefits and new snow scrapers. In Canada, workers tend to spend much of their work time throwing crumpled pieces of paper at each other and apologizing profusely. Occasionally, a game of "Balled-up Vital Document Hockey" is started. The victors of these games often expect tickets to the next game of their favorite hockey team.
Second World
Economists use the term Second World to refer to the countries in which the Second World War was fought; roughly, the remnants of the old Soviet Union. In these struggling countries, which have at least cast off their yoke of central planning (freeing up time from the former "day job"), work consists mostly of scouring the Black Market for useful goods on the cheap, and reselling them for blue jeans or Marlboros without keeping any paperwork.
In the former Soviet satellite countries in Eastern Europe, work involves moving rocks, spitting on uranium to make it decay faster, or herding chickens into a pen with no walls. The pay is in pieces of toilet paper with the Russian currency sign on them. You can trade this paper for more of the same paper, and a stack of it was recently worth 3 American cents.
Third World
In the Third World (or as they are now known, the developing nations), work consists of various ways of combining utter absence of capital with total lack of job skills and dearth of usable raw materials. This takes the following forms:
- Dirt farming: scraping a monoculture cash crop out of drought-ridden soil for a multi-national corporation
- Assembling products that the assemblers will never actually be able to buy.
Work here pays about US$1 per week, which is usually enough to either feed or clothe a family of four.

- Abstract
- Most developmental studies of emotional face processing to date have focused on infants and very young children. Additionally, studies that examine emotional face processing in older children do not distinguish development in emotion and identity face processing from more generic age-related cognitive improvement. In this study, we developed a paradigm that measures processing of facial expression in comparison to facial identity and complex visual stimuli. The three matching tasks were developed (i.e., facial emotion matching, facial identity matching, and butterfly wing matching) to include stimuli of similar level of discriminability and to be equated for task difficulty in earlier samples of young adults. Ninety-two children aged 5-15 years and a new group of 24 young adults completed these three matching tasks. Young children were highly adept at the butterfly wing task relative to their performance on both face-related tasks. More importantly, in older children, development of facial emotion discrimination ability lagged behind that of facial identity discrimination.

NATO expresses its solidarity with Turkey
Solidarity with Alliance member Turkey was underscored at the NATO Foreign Ministers Meeting in Brussels on 4‑5 December. No other NATO ally is as directly affected by the dramatic escalation of events in Syria. Turkish nationals have already been killed by shelling across the border from Syria.
NATO Foreign Ministers Meeting
The NATO Foreign Ministers gave their go ahead for the deployment of Patriot defence systems in Turkey. The objective of the deployment is "to defend the population and territory of Turkey and contribute to the de‑escalation of the crisis along the Alliance's border," as it was put in the Foreign Ministers' statement of 4 December. Turkey had submitted a request for assistance to NATO on 21 November. The Foreign Ministers welcomed the intention of Germany, the Netherlands and the United States to provide the Patriot missile batteries. It was clearly specified that the deployment would be purely defensive in nature and would "in no way support a no-fly zone or any offensive operation."
Preventing the violence spreading
In Brussels, Foreign Minister Westerwelle stated that NATO was standing firmly by its Alliance partner, Turkey, in part also to send a signal to the Syrian regime that NATO would not accept "any attacks or acts of violence against Turkey." He attached considerable weight to the idea "that the deployment of Patriot missiles would also have a deterrent effect and would help prevent trouble spreading across the whole region."
Parliamentary approval from the German Bundestag is required before Germany can provide any military assistance. Westerwelle was confident that the Bundestag would "promptly approve" a mandate for the deployment of Patriot systems and a limited number of German soldiers. He was expecting "broad backing" in parliament. The German Cabinet is due to adopt a draft mandate to enable the German armed forces to participate in the deployment of Patriot systems this week, and will accordingly table a motion in the German Bundestag seeking its approval.
Syria warned not to use chemical weapons
The German Foreign Minister also warned the Syrian regime not to use chemical weapons. Resorting to the use of such weapons would be "totally unacceptable and would cross any red line generally recognized by the international community." Those responsible would be held accountable for any such step.
Cooperation with Russia and Georgia
Family photo of the NATO Foreign Ministers Meeting in Brussels
Cooperation with NATO's partners Russia and Georgia was also on the foreign ministers' agenda in Brussels. With reference to the discussions with the new Georgian Foreign Minister Maia Panjikidze, Foreign Minister Westerwelle noted that it was now vital for Georgia to stay on the path to democracy.
The NATO foreign ministers had already met with their Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in the NATO-Russia Council at the start of the two days in Brussels. Foreign Minister Westerwelle reaffirmed that it was "very much in our interest for NATO and Russia to further improve their relations". He noted that differences of opinion did exist with regard to Russia, but thought it would be a mistake to reduce our strategic cooperation with the country. "It is precisely at a time like this that we have to do more to move towards one another," he said.
Advancing the cause of disarmament
Westerwelle believes that advancing the disarmament agenda is a key issue in everybody's interest. Now that the elections in Russia and the USA are over, Westerwelle felt that new momentum could be injected into disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation. He said that Germany would once again step up its efforts on nuclear disarmament, including on the issue of tactical nuclear weapons. The matter required "strategic patience", but it would be in line with NATO's decisions to "generate new momentum and new impetus on this topic".
The way forward for Afghanistan
NATO Secretary General Rasmussen
The two-day NATO ministerial meeting ended with a gathering of all 50 states which contribute troops to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Together with Afghan Foreign Minister Zalmai Rassoul and representatives of the EU, the United Nations and partners such as Japan, the ISAF troop contributing nations discussed how the international community could continue to support Afghanistan once security responsibility has been completely handed over to the Afghan Government.
Foreign Minister Westerwelle reiterated in Brussels that "it is important for the way forward in Afghanistan after 2014 to be clearly mapped out. (...) Our engagement will be given a new face, a civilian face." He stressed that Afghanistan must never again become a haven for terrorists. Germany would support the political reconciliation and reintegration process, however long it might be. The Afghan security forces would continue to be supported through advisory services, financial assistance and training after 2014.

MONMOUTH COUNTY, N.J. (WUSA) - Mega-storm Sandy caused 'unthinkable' damage to the Jersey shore, the barrier islands and beach towns that run the length of New Jersey's Atlantic coast, Governor Chris Christie said Tuesday.
9News's Bruce Johnson watched as residents of the shore area lined up to buy gas at the lone gas station open in the area on Tuesday night. Power outages are predicted to last seven to 10 days, and damage from flooding has yet to be estimated, the devastation is so complete. See the above video for Bruce's full report.

July 2011:
I�ve needed to update my Sparkpage for a while now, but I�ve been unsure of where to start and what to say. At the beginning of each new year I recommit to losing the few pounds I�ve put on but I never seem to get anywhere. Earlier this year for the first time I started wearing jeans to work.

July 2011:
I�ve needed to update my Sparkpage for a while now, but I�ve been unsure of where to start and what to say. At the beginning of each new year I recommit to losing the few pounds I�ve put on but I never seem to get anywhere. Earlier this year for the first time I started wearing jeans to work. My work place is pretty casual but I feel that I�m more productive and act more professional when I�m dressed nicer. Jeans make me feel lazy, like it�s the weekend. But despite all that, I started wear jeans. I started wear jeans, not because I wanted to, but because I was too fat to fit into my dress pants and some of my tops were kind of binding.
When I started this job a little over 3 years ago, I was 135 pounds and I ran 3 times a week and walked my dogs. I was active. But as I made friends at this job and things started getting stressful, I quit running and was going out to eat with coworkers. By December of 2010, I was about 150+ pounds. Not sure how plus because I stopped weighing myself but I realized that I was in trouble when my size 8 pants were to tight wear and the size 4�s I�d been wearing at the beginning of this job were no longer even a thought�t00 small by a long shot. I even had to buy bigger jeans.
In March of this year I realized I was wearing jeans and t-shirts to work every day. And jeans and t-shirts on the weekends too because that was the only thing I had that fit. Really not good. On Tuesday, March 8th, I�d had enough. This was just silly, after all I am the same girl (older and wiser) that lost 80 pounds in my 20�s. I know how to be fit and healthy. I know how to lose weight in a safe and timely manner. I have Sparkpeople. Trust me, I got this.
So here I am 4 months later. I�m down to 145 pounds at my last weigh in. I�ve run a 5k for fun. I�m on the verge of completing my Couch to 5k training and beginning my Bridge to 10k training. I run three or 4 days a week, sometimes more, for fun, for the challenge of it, for my own enjoyment (sick�I know). I�ve signed up to run the 9/11 Memorial 5k this September and I�m actually looking forward to it. I hope to beat my PR of 33:432.4 from my last 5k. I�m back into my old work clothes and nothing is tight or binding. But more importantly I�m looking ahead to my future goals.
For the future, because goals are important and keep us moving forward, I have a few thoughts. Of course I have the Bridge to 10k training coming up. And I have my 5k in September but long term goals�I�m thinking Half Marathon training. I�m thinking Rock and Roll in Vegas this December or possibly the California International Marathon (the half) which is right here in Sacramento. This goal really depends on whether or not we are going to be on vacation in Hawaii or not. Speaking of Hawaii, that�s another goal. I want to feel sexy and confident in a bikini in Hawaii this year. I also want to change jobs or at least learn to deal with my work stress better and my running is key for dealing with stress.
Will I ever be 135 pounds again? I don�t think so. I honestly think that while still a healthy BMI weight, I didn�t look too good. And I remember being hungry and tired a lot back then. Now I want to be fit. If that means weighing 150, fine by me. What I weigh isn�t that important to me. I still want to lose weight but I want it to be fat that goes. I want lean muscle mass that burns calories for me even when I�m sitting still. I want sexy, strong legs that make me feel good. My goal is to be 140 and lean before Hawaii.
Right now, I�m feeling really jazzed to see where I am at the end of the year. So far 2011 has been really stressful and crazy but my outlook is positive. I can do this. I can accomplish it all. Mind over matter.
I realized at the end of 2009 that I was in the exact same place I was a year ago. I recomitted for 2010 to get those 15 pounds that I had gained back off. I'm ready for this challenge.
Between changing my job and Hubby going to swing shift in July, I slipped off my program. I gained over 15 pounds and did not follow through on my weekly weigh in. Got on the scale for the first time in quite some time as part of my office's Biggest Loser program to find that in just a few months I went from 133 to 150. I was total shocked but thankfully with Sparkpeople I have the tools to take that weight back off. On November 10th I weighed 150.6. I've been pretty mad at myself for re-gaining this weight but I'm channeling that anger into exercise. I've been walking my dogs almost everyday for the over three weeks and now they've started to expect it. If I sit down when I get home from work Dixie will just stare at me with her ears all perked up, looking expectant. It's so cute that I get up and go. How can I say no to her?! What's funny too is when I've already walked them earlier in the day and about 6pm (when I normally would be getting home from work) they will come to me and expect to be walked again. These dogs don't cut me any slack; they're better then personal trainers!
Currently I've met my weight goal even though I tend to go up and down as much as 3 to 4 pounds at any given time. My goal now is to meet my new fitness goals. I want to be able to run a 10K in under an hour. I want to lift weights and work on my upper body strength.
Hi, my name is Lisa and I'm 31 years old. I live in Northern California with my husband, 2 dogs, a cat and a guinea pig.
I never had a problem with my weight until I was in my mid 20's. At that time I developed chronic fatigue. After a visit to my doctor, I found myself in a position where I was advised to lose weight before they would attempt to fix the chronic fatigue with medication.
I came home from the doctor more confused then anything. My mother recommended that I try Weight Watchers as she had had success with program in the past. I did not want to attend meetings as I had a huge case of denial and felt that those meetings were for "fat" people. At 209 pounds I qualified.
Over the last five years I have gone from unhealthy weight of 209 pounds to an equally unhealthy weight of 125 pounds and back up to 180 pounds prior to my wedding. In December of 2005 I recommitted to my health and was determined to lose 30 pound before my wedding. Amazingly, I managed to lose those 30 pounds and weighed in at 150 pounds on my wedding day.
Since my wedding I have been working on reaching my personal goal of 139 pounds. It took me almost a whole year to lose that last 11 pounds but I finally managed to reach it in April. My goal now is to be healthy and fit. I want to make sure that I am here for many years to come.

Novy is a German Musician, he originally appreared along with one of his songs "Back To The Streets", which can also be heard in one of the GTA III trailers. Both Novy and his song were removed for unknown reasons. Despite this Novy's model and texture is still in the games files.. Novy's description is a white male with a brown hair and a brown tuft. He also wears a blue shirt and blue pants. Novy is playable through modifications on PC. However the model of the PC version is glitched. It is believed by some fans that he was a removed character that would give Claude missions. He is believed to have given a mission from the Head Radio's studio and he would have been the DJ.

Puzzle missing a vital piece
MORGANTOWN - Before Saturday's Maryland-WVU game, all the buzz was about the Mountaineers' gray uniforms and helmets. Did Maryland, of all teams, really look sharper than WVU?
The bet from here is Joan and Melissa Rivers would have absolutely killed the unis on the red carpet.
After the Mountaineers' 31-21 win over the Terrapins before a crowd of 58,504, however, there were answers.
First, all in attendance found out exactly how important injured tailback Shawne Alston is to the high-flying WVU offense. And we now know why the Mountaineer coaches already have four running back commitments for next season.
Yes, Maryland has fine players on the defense, including returning second-team All-America tackle Joe Vellano, who had six tackles Saturday. The team entered the game eighth nationally in total defense.
Still, WVU was a different team on Saturday. It was a limited team. It was a team without a bruising runner to pound the ball and set up the pass.
"Shawne has a thigh bruise," said WVU coach Dana Holgorsen. "He was limited this week and I didn't feel it was the right thing to do to play him."
WVU still won, of course. But it didn't exactly look the part of a Top 10 team. Quarterback Geno Smith, the Heisman Trophy leader last week according to a straw poll and numerous pundits, was off a bit. Yet the loss of Alston, a 5-foot-11, 236-pound senior, was glaring.
In the previous games against Marshall and James Madison, WVU was averaging 226 rushing yards. The Mountaineers were No. 25 nationally in rushing offense.
Without Alston, West Virginia finished with but 25 rushing yards. Andrew Buie, a heretofore counterpunch to Alston's punch, had 33 net yards with a long of eight. Dustin Garrison's possible redshirt was torn off for two carries for one yard.
"My hat's off to Maryland," said WVU running backs coach Robert Gillespie. "But we need every piece of the puzzle to make us the strongest. When we don't have that, others have to step up."
But Alston, that missing piece, isn't one along the edge of the puzzle. He's squarely in the middle, along with Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.
"He's significant to our offense," said Mountaineer offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. "I'm not going to tell you he's not.
"I mean, we can't have one guy go down and slow down. But to tell you he's not important to our offense is wrong."
Gillespie, by the way, said Alston "hopefully will bounce back and play next week." He said Garrison is "85-90 percent" back from a knee injury.
When Baylor hits Touchdown City, though, the Mountaineers need Alston. Sure, they need the Mountaineer defense to tighten the screws. Truth be told, though, it did Saturday.
Heading into the game, West Virginia was ranked No. 84 in total defense, allowing an average of 430 yards. Against Maryland, a step up in competition, the Mountaineers allowed 351. They had a 51-yard Doug Rigg fumble return for a score.
WVU actually caused five fumbles, though it recovered just two. It added an interception, although Wes Tonkery would have served his team better by batting the fourth-down heave down.
The Mountaineers, however, won't be a great defensive football team this season. They simply don't have the talent. What it can be is a great offensive team. What it will hang its hat on is offense. Smith. Austin. Bailey. And, yes, Alston.
Against Baylor or Texas or most Big 12 teams, the Mountaineers will have to outscore their opponents. And they cannot have one rushing yard after three quarters, as they did Saturday against the Terrapins.
The offensive line needs to improve. Too, Alston must return - so the team isn't one-dimensional.
"We want to run the ball better," Dawson said. "We didn't today."
The puzzle was certainly missing a piece.

During their escape from Cynthia's vacation home as Ridley and Golurk hold them off while they escape with Meloetta, Ash (finally) comes face to face with Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket and bears witness to Meloetta's true power and captured it (when they used their anti-stealth googles to see it) while Ash and Pikachu are being held hostage. Can Ash's friends be able to save them in time?
- Ash finally confronts Giovanni after more than 14 years and 15 seasons.
- Who's that Pokemon?: Golurk (US).
