Strange pop up???
Hello all, I keep getting a strange pop up box at the bottom of my screen, it says "YOU ARE OFFLINE, SCOREBOARD NEEDS ACTIVE INTERNET CONNECTION ". I have a HOX+, UK on Vodafone. No new apps have been installed to bring this issue with them, so i suppose its came with an update for an app. Funny thing is im connected to my home wifi so I've never not got full connection!? Hope its not spyware. Any ideas please guys.
Mant thanxs.

Re: Strange pop up???
Yeah, I keep getting the same thing too! (Nexus 7). At first I thought it was for real, like maybe it was from one of the games I play but it's not. It sometimes makes a continuous sound also (hard to explain) like something is being pressed continuously. At first, I thought this was due to a notification coming in, but there is none. I thought it might be related to the pop up thing by they don't seem to occur simultaneously. Anyone with a solution? I also really hope it's not malware.

Re: Strange pop up???
Hello again everyone and all! Today i thought i'd go through my apps 1 by 1 to see if this scoreboard thing was connected to one. Bingo (I think). I have an app called "Brain Age Test Free" by "Best Free Addictive Games Brain Factory" I installed it a few weeks ago but never opened the app until a few days ago, which was when this issue first started. So when you open the app at the bottom of the main menu there is a button that says scores, when you tap this up pops the pop up "YOU ARE OFFLINE, SCOREBOARD NEEDS ACTIVE INTERNET CONNECTION " so have uninstalled the app and not had the pop up again!!! The app worked fine on my HOX+, nothing against the dev, but i dont like the pop up so wont be reinstalling. Check your apps and see if you have this one or others from the same dev to see if its these causing the issue for you. Final conclusion would be that this isn't spy/malware but may be a drain on battery if its trying to update scores constantly in the background. I will post again if the issue arises again, otherwise take it as solved i suppose!!!

I have type 2 diabetes and have been on medication for over a year but was unable to reach the level required by my physician. I started taking GlucoFit about 4 months ago and my blood sugar levels dropped within 48 hours and have steadily fallen since then. I am now consistently reading below 5 on my meter and am delighted to have this worry more or less behind me. Thank you GlucoFit and Thank you iHerb. BM Vancouver, Canada

Helping me with lean-PCOS

Posted by Reviewer2474654 From California on Feb 28, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
I have PCOS despite being reasonably lean and exercising and haven't had elevated fasting glucose but have been shown to be glucose intolerant in an oral glucose tolerance test. I have always struggled with miserable hypoglycemia 2-3 hours after eating anything with a glycemic index over 40 and in general feel hungry too often. When taking glucofit I haven't had any hypoglycemic symptoms after meals. In addition, it seems to have an appetite reducing effect in me since I haven't been able to finish more than half the food on my plate - I feel full very early. Seems to work well with Irwin naturals phase 2 carb blocker (lowers the glycemic index of a meal). My acne seems to be getting better too which indicates that gluco-fit may help with more than one etiology of insulin resistance. Many other herbal/nutraceutical and pharmaceutical "glucose lowering" agents (vanadyl sulfate, chromium piccolinate, metformin, gymnema sylvester, d-chiro inositol, bitter melon and more) have failed to help and often made me feel painfully hypoglycemic all the time but Glucofit really looks promising so far.

This product is helping me control my blood sugar. I'm currently taking it with one prescription medication (Amaryl) and Blood Sugar High by Crystal Star. It seems to be helping me keep my fasting blood sugars below 140, which is good for me. Before I started taking this product my fasting blood sugar was as high as 200. I noticed a change a few days after I started taking it.

We're all looking for a way to shed a few pounds and anything that can safely and naturally help us do so is a big aid. There are plenty of supplements and fad diets to be found but few of them work at all and none of them work as well as HCG injections do. Based on a human hormone that triggers during pregnancy, this weight loss therapy yields incredible results. Don't miss out on the amazing outcome that can be yours with HCG shots, paired with a low-calorie diet, and watch the pounds just fall off!
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone that a woman's placenta produces during pregnancy, which helps regulate development of the embryo and influences the levels of other hormones in the body. With regular injections you can fix your metabolism, reduce your appetite drastically, and drop several pounds per day. HCG, a naturally produced hormone in the human body, can trigger all of these changes that will make your weight loss goals easy to achieve.
hcg injections top
HCG injections are part of a powerful weight loss system that includes an organic, healthy diet and a reduction of caloric intake that yields incredible results. This hormone therapy allows dieters to eat 500 calories of healthy food a day and still maintain energy levels thanks to its ability to regulate metabolic rates in the body. Dropping processed foods, junk food, refined sugars, flours, and artificial sweeteners from the diet is a must for the HCG plan but it's also just common sense since none of those foods are beneficial.
We are still learning more about the HCG hormone every day and all of the great benefits it has for our bodies are becoming clearer. It can not only help reset the metabolism and appetite but it also makes burning off the fat stored in the abdominal area even easier. HCG injections can produce unbelievable results to help you reach your weight loss goals.
Hormone therapy using HCG might just be the diet solution that you've been looking for. Making a reduced calories and nutrient-rich diet possible without losing energy, HCG injections are nothing short of a dietary miracle. If you've struggled with stubborn fat or extra pounds without any results, it's time to try something new. With natural, safe HCG shots and a carefully planned diet, you can finally see the results you've been working toward for years.

Ohioans bought spirituous liquor, particularly premium liquor, at a record pace in 2012, according to the Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Liquor Control.
Liquor sales totaled $849 million in 2012, an increase of 7% from last year. According to the Division of Liquor Control, spirituous liquor is an intoxicating liquor containing more than 21% alcohol by volume.
"Consumer tastes are becoming more sophisticated, and Ohioans continue to trade up buying more of the premium products," said David Goodman, Director of the Ohio Department of Commerce. "Better product selection and improved inventory management are key to meeting the needs of our consumers, without encouraging increased consumption."
Liquor purchased by restaurant, bar and club owners also strengthened in 2012, reaching $257.8 million in sales. That's a 5.7% increase from 2011.
"Strong wholesale indicates positive growths in Ohio's economy as Ohioans are again patronizing restaurants and entertainment businesses," Goodman said.
Liquor was being bought at a faster rate than it was being consumed. The Division sold a total of 11.9 million gallons of spirituous liquor through its 464 Contract Liquor Agencies, an increase of 4.2% over 2011.

Mexico, France divided on release of Frenchwoman
PARIS (AP) — She left Mexico to jeers of "killer!" but touched down Thursday in Paris to the fanfare of a state welcome.
Seven years in prison in Mexico on kidnapping charges and a flawed trial made Frenchwoman Florence Cassez a cause celebre in France, where her innocence seemed nearly beyond question upon her return.
Even though the court that ordered her release did not rule on her culpability, she declared to the throngs of journalists waiting to receive her: "I was cleared."
But back in Mexico, relatives of the victims of the kidnap gang she was accused of having ties to see her release as one more injustice perpetrated by an inept judicial system.
The Mexican Supreme Court panel voted 3-2 to release Cassez because of procedural and rights violations during her arrest, including police staging a recreation of her capture for the media. The justices pointedly did not rule on her guilt or innocence, but said the violations of due process, the right to consular assistance and evidentiary rules in her case were so grievous that they invalidated the original guilty verdict against her.
The stark contrast between the reactions in France and Mexico underlined the uncertainty that still surrounds her case.
At home, the 38-year-old Cassez has been hailed as a hero. Two French presidents — Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande — fought for her release, and French media reported that Hollande's partner, Valerie Trierweiler, even sent Cassez a care package with makeup, chocolate and books. Cassez and her family will meet the presidential couple at the Elysee Palace on Friday.
When Cassez's plane landed in Paris, flight attendants asked to take their photo with her before she got off. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius linked arms with her and led her smiling broadly to a throng of journalists. Her father shook his fist in victory.
"The plane touched down, but I haven't landed yet," she told reporters. "I'm still in the sky."
In contrast, as she departed from Mexico, police whisked her to the airport amid shouts of "Killer!" by angry relatives of kidnapping victims.

The Cavaliers are very high on the 20-year-old small forward and appear unlikely to let him slip past them at the No. 4 slot in the June 28 draft, according to sources. While this week's predraft combine in Chicago and subsequent team workouts could always change things, rival executives are planning for Barnes to be off the board by the time the fifth pick (Sacramento) rolls around.
"He's a pretty big deal to them," one such executive said.

Dynamic scoring guard who uses his quickness to attack the basket, set up a jumper off the dribble, or create for teammates. However, Waiters is a "combo guard" who is undersized for his position, but is an intriguing player worthy of a first round pick in 2012 because of his scoring punch.

Posted By DHawes22 on 06/07/2012 3:26 PM From ESPN's Marc Stein- Draft buzz: Hearing that teams calling Hornets being told that it'll take more to get No. 10 pick than taking on Ariza or Okafor contractThis is pretty important as the Hornets hold the #10 pick, just one slot ahead of us at #11.

Posted By cmeese47 on 06/08/2012 11:17 AM I do not think so Dustin as much as I would like to get rid of Shawne Williams 3.2 million and Wesley's 6.75 million adding in 7.25 for Ariza or 13.5 for Okafor is not a good idea. Okafor has not averaged 10 rebounds per game since leaving Charlotte in 2009. Ariza shooting percentage has been around 40% for the last 3 seasons and his defensive intensity has really declined. If we are going to deal Wesley then I would like it to be for Taj Gibson and whatever contract they want to match with, Brewer, Watson, Korver or Hamilton.

The Charlotte Bobcats are shopping the second overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, according to multiple sources. They have yet to contact Thomas Robinson, who many had penciled in as the number two pick after Anthony Davis. On Thursday afternoon, the Bobcats met with a number of players who are projected in the middle of the first round, such as Tyler Zeller, which indicates that they could be looking to move down. The Bobcats don't seem to be in love with anyone at this point, which means a different team could be selecting second on draft night.
Andre Drummond has met with the New Orleans Hornets, Charlotte Bobcats, Portland Trail Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers. He said each of the meetings went well and he's enjoying the process. Drummond handled himself well during media availability. The knock on Drummond entering this process was his inconsistency and unimpressive motor. When asked about those concerns, Drummond said that he's always smiling which makes it seem like he's not serious or intense, but insisted that's not the case.
Damian Lillard decided to participate in Thursday's workout, even though he is projected as a top ten pick. Lillard felt like he had to prove that he's not shying away from tough competition, especially after playing against lesser talent at Weber State. "I'm not running from anyone," Lillard said. The Portland Trail Blazers have expressed a lot of interest in Lillard and he may be the sixth overall pick.

Posted By DHawes22 on 06/09/2012 1:27 AM I personally think that 10 and Okafor is better then we're going to get in free agency. Roy Hibbert and Eric Gordon will be matched by their respective teams. Olshey made it very clear that Nash isn't an option. And I just don't see Deron Williams coming here.I like Dragic and all, but I'm good with Lillard at 10 as I think he'll eventually be better and Okafor would be nice alongside LA.

Cleveland and Portland have talked about swapping draft picks, according to source. Cavs would get #6 and #11, Blazers would get #4 and #24.
Posted 06/09/2012 6:09 PM
From Yahoo!'s MArc Spears: (One) East scout expects Rivers to be selected in the Nos. 10-20 range, but an NBA source told Yahoo! Sports that Rivers has a promise late in the draft lottery. The Portland Trail Blazers, Toronto Raptors, Houston Rockets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, Washington Wizards and New Orleans Hornets plan to work out Rivers.
PBT: Now, there is a report that the Raptors at No. 8 were impressed with Rivers, although that seems high for him. Besides there is buzz about this idea with Toronto's No. 8 pick — they have looked to trade it and reportedly Phoenix, at No. 13, really loves Dion Waiters, who shut down workouts because of a promise to be taken. The Raptors GM denied making that promise.

Gawd, is there no end to his self-promoting desire to seem "exotic"? It´s bad enough the NYT finds this newsworthy but to inflict it on impressionable liberals of all ages is silly beyond belief.Who cares what "shaped his grandfather"? I care only about what shapes America right now and I don´t like the shaper.
I think I remember seeing where this government stole 90% of the relief aid they got a few years ago,so Obama would fit right in with hat kind of crowd.The poor people who bore the brunt of the flood are so poor,they didn´t have anything to lose,so I guess the ruling class dictators just decided not to waste the relief funds on them.Of course the MSM is more interested in Obama´s jibberish roots than the lousy job he´s doing with the country.
Obama never had a father. He is fantasizing.
Looking forward to our nation being just like Kenya or even Newark.
the slimes again......they are nauseating......hope he stays there...grandada would like that
Since Obama never knew his father or his grandfather, any experiences that "shaped" either one of them can have no relevance to Obama himself. Personality traits might be inherited; life-shaping experiences are not.
I would hardly be surprised to learn that this Obama grandfather thing was a complete total lie and never happened.
Te Hindo majority just wiped out a small muslim sect living there.Killed numerous people and burned their villages.Not a word from the lovely Ang nor anyone else in the worldWhile the atrocity was being committed the msm referred to the country as Burma. Hoping the majority of uninformed citizens wouldn´t notice that it was happening in Myanmar.PIAPS arrived some months ago carrying bags of money. GE has arrived with ´business´ plans. And now the maoist is there smoothing the way for his cronies.
sorry for the typoIt´s the HINDU majority
FTA:"Although details are sometimes debated...."Key words that pertain to the entire article.
When DNA eventually, inevitably, proves the Obama Kenyan ancestry false, will the NYT correct these fairy tale stories?
Another chapter in the novel. When will it stop?
He is there to bless a regime that has butchered millions of Burma people. What a left wing tool.
Good for the Hindu´s.
Yuck. It would be nice to read about an American president with a patriotic American background.
Just more proof that he is not one of us. What is the real reason for this tour. Getting out of Dodge because it was getting to hot?
In Visit to Myanmar, Obama Will See a Nation That Shaped His GrandfatherIt´s Burma, someone ought to remind the insipid twits at the Slimes. And if Barry should get kidnapped by Muslim militants, don´t offer more´n a sackful of rancid monkey´s butts as ransom...
He is just doing a world wide search for his original birth certificate.
The US government does not recognize the name ´Myanmar,´ which was the name given to Burma by the military dictators now illegally in power. The NY Slimes chooses to use ´Myanmar.´Odd.
More of the obama herdsman and humble black beginnings? obama was fathered by Frank Marshall Davis Jr, Hawaii communist community organizer.As obama himself once said, sometimes he believes his own BS.
Agree with #15. Wiping out muslims is a good thing.
Composite grandfather?
Stay there. Send the plane back.
So, how much is this genealogical research for his memoirs costing the American taxpayers?

Tens of thousands of art aficionados flock to Florida for December's Miami Art Week each year; and after 35 years hosting a leading fine art fair in NYC, Artexpo is enjoying its second year in Miami. Culled from artists and galleries around the world, a juried array of vibrant pieces decorates the expo, expanding viewers' aesthetic horizons without just teaching them that fingerpainting with your toes counts, too.
At Outta Control Sport Fishing, Captain Ralph Hawkins applies more than 25 years of fishing experience and an arsenal of advanced electronics to put his customers on fish such as snapper, grouper, and king mackerel. Guided by 72-mile HD radar and sonar, and powered by a pair of more than 500-horsepower John Deere engines, the 75-foot Outta Control IV can jet towards its finned prey at speeds of more than 22 knots. Other devices, including Sirius weather and dual VHF marine radios, help ensure passengers' safety on the trip.
Once the fish are found, the dedicated Outta Control IV crew will go to almost any lengths to catch them: their precision anchor fishing can target future seafood hiding at depths of up to 300 feet. Anglers cast off with quality Finor reels and Shakespeare Ugly stick rods, pulling in a quantity and quality of seafood unmatched by most other boats in Southeast Florida. For customers' comfort, the Outta Control IV also comes fully equipped with two full restrooms and an air-conditioned cabin for hot days. A full galley serves up meals, snacks, and cold beverages.
After Captain Chris Gruno escaped the chilly air of New Jersey and his desolate cubicle desk, he brought the Grouchy Turtle to the Florida Keys, where he now ferries patrons through tropical waters. The catamaran, a 33.5-foot-long boat with six rooms, can sleep up to four on overnight voyages and fit up to six passengers on daytime jaunts. A blue, U-shaped bench borders the table in the saloon, and the master cabin boasts a bed big enough for a queen. The vessel is the vehicle for diverse aquatic jaunts, including kayak tours.
Over the course of nearly a decade of instruction, diving enthusiast and registered nurse Laura Parke has passed along the secrets of the deep to more than 700 divers. Though Laura leads a range of both basic and specialty courses, this deal is redeemable only for the private Discover Scuba Diving course for beginners ages 10 and up. The aqua-bound learning begins with students paddling in the pool to familiarize themselves with the gear and their functions. Once students are able to pat their heads while rubbing their goggles clean, they are carted off to get their fins wet at two shallow, oceanic locations. Tank toters will earn credit upon completion of this class, which can then be applied toward the Open Water Certification course, giving the average biped the chance to finally reunite with the speechless mermaid who got away.
The head instructors at Cañas Tennis haven't just played on the sport's grandest stages—they've won. In a professional career that dates back to 1995, co-director of player development Guillermo Cañas scored wins over the likes of Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, and Marat Safin on his way to seven ATP singles titles, two doubles titles, three appearances in the quarterfinals of the French Open, and a top ranking of 8th in the world. Fellow director of player development Martin Garcia snatched eight career doubles titles on the ATP Tour, and both players represented their home country of Argentina in Davis Cup competition. Today, the two put their winning wisdom to work as instructors at Cañas Tennis, where they offer lessons and clinics for players of all ages and abilities.

\"Choke on it and die already!\" Words intended to quiet down a guy that was loudly chomping on pop corn during the early suspense scenes of this film. I've held on to those words with fondness. They symbolize the undying hunger in audiences for a good ass kicking film. And back in the day, this one kicked ass like no other. I had read the script to this film and wondered where those
horror central coming up!!!!
About the only movie made in this franchise with any substance to it, and actually the best and most popular one ever made with both fans and mainstream movie audiences.
James Cameron's 1986 sci-fi classic ALIENS is my most personal favorite movie of all time. its the best movie ever!!! it has a great badass cast especially sigourney weaver playing lt. ellen ripley kicking some aliens butts and also when ripley is in the powerloader to protect newt from the queen alien and when she says "get away from her you bitch" is the greatest line in the movie.
very classic full of its dramatic action, clever story, and eye popping visuals such as the aliens that are very clever for even modern day. loved it.

July 19, 2012 – Ali Vincent, the first female winner of NBC's "The Biggest Loser," was the highlight of yesterday's Final General Session at SNA's 2012 Annual National Conference (ANC) in Denver.
Vincent's positive and inspirational speech detailed her personal philosophy "Believe It, Be It," and shared experiences from her book, Believe It, Be It: How Being the Biggest Loser Won Me Back My Life. The importance of these beliefs were crystal clear as she detailed to the audience that by learning the power of goal setting and believing in herself she was able to take the first steps to her amazing transformation.
Vincent said, "There is no start and end to a healthy lifestyle -- it's a choice!"
Vincent's positive message and attitude was a powerful and inspirational reminder to school nutritional professionals to take positive steps to reach their own goals. And it was also a perfect culmination of the entire conference, with a fresh reminder of this year's ANC theme, "Explore New Horizons!"
Those in attendance at the Final General Session also saw the installation of 2012-13 SNA President Sandra Ford, SNS, who laid forth the strategic pillars that will guide the Association into the future. To learn more about SNA's vision, mission and values that will connect all members—at every level—to the goals of our strategic pillars, click here.
SNA President Sandra Ford also introduced SNA's new personal wellness initiative for members, which was a perfect complement to Vincent's message. Sponsored by Jennie-O, the STEPS Challenge details its objective in the acronym STEPS:
Ford said, "Many of us struggle with making time to exercise and devoting ourselves to our overall well-being. Dedicating time and effort to our health can be a balancing act, but what better motivation than serving as role models for students?" To sign up for STEPS and gain access to healthy recipes, fitness ideas prize drawings and more, click here.
Attendees also gleaned valuable information from Wednesday's education sessions, including offerings that covered the new meal pattern requirements, how schools can end childhood hunger, marketing a school nutrition operation's efforts, and farm to school.
On Wednesday night, the ANC Final Event felt more like a day at the beach, with hundreds of conference attendees decked out in summertime garb to see one of the most iconic bands of all time, The Beach Boys. You could feel the excitement in the air as the band took to the stage and began to play some of their classic hits, including "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Surfin' USA," "Barbara Ann," "California Girls," "I Get Around," "Fun, Fun, Fun" and an encore performance of "Kokomo."
This memorable evening was full of "Good Vibrations," and the perfect conclusion to ANC 2012—where once again school nutrition professionals came together in fellowship and camaraderie for the good of the profession.
And while ANC may be over for another year, here's a video that's sure to get you jazzed about ANC 2013 to be held in Kansas City, Mo. We hope to see you there!
The ANC conversation doesn't have to end just because the conference is over! You can keep it going on our social media sites—comment on our posts, share your thoughts about the conference and post pictures.

It is strongly recommended that you grow a pet kitten before you start the quest, if you don't already have an adult cat. It will take 3 hours for the pet kitten to grow into a cat. If you do this at the start of the quest, it should be fully grown and you can save the Evil Dave sub-quest for last.
Another Cook's QuestEdit
The cook is preparing for a party in Lumbridge. He tells you that a hundred years ago, a very important meeting was held in Lumbridge. His ancestor, Franizzard Van Lumbcook, cooked such an amazing banquet for the occasion that he was offered a job as head cook, along with all his descendants, for life. This big, important meeting is held in Lumbridge every ten years and today is the tenth anniversary. As he cannot think of a brilliant dish himself, he intends to use his ancestor's recipe for the feast. However, he needs your help gathering the ingredients AGAIN.
The cook tells you that he needs a newt's eye, a Greenman's ale, a rotten tomato, and a Dirty blast.
When asked how to make a Dirty blast, he tells you to add ashes to a Fruit blast that you make yourself. The Fruit blast given by Curator Haig Halen for completing the Digsite Quest will also work. The Cook also gives you 100 coins to buy everything and allows you to keep the change.
- Buy an Eye of Newt from any Herblore shop, Grand Exchange or from Betty of Port Sarim.
- Greenman's ale is sold in Yanille, at the Lighthouse and from Rasolo. It can also be obtained at the Grand Exchange.
- A Rotten tomato can be bought at the Duel Arena, at the Yanille pillory, at the Seers' Village pillory, or at the Varrock pillory (select "buy" option). Can also be made in a Compost Bin, or picked up from Botany Bay for free.
- Make a Fruit blast. It requires a Pineapple, a Lemon, Lemon slices, an Orange, a Cocktail shaker and a Cocktail glass to make. Put 1 Pineapple, 1 orange, and 1 lemon in a cocktail shaker, pour the mix into a cocktail glass, slice a lemon (use on a knife) and add it to the cocktail. (NOTE: You can skip this step if you bought your fruit blast from the Grand Exchange.)
- Add the ashes to the fruit blast to make a Dirty blast.
Once you have all four items, give them to the Cook.
- 1 quest point
- 2 Treasure hunter keys for use in Treasure Hunter.
- 2 Hearts of Ice for use in Treasure Hunter.
- An invitation to the feast
- Access to the Culinaromancer's Chest
Subquests 2 to 9Edit
The Secret CouncilEdit
Enter the doors to the dining room to observe the feast. You will see members of the Lumbridge Secret Council seated at the table:
- A Mountain Dwarf from White Wolf Mountain
- Osman from Al-Kharid
- Gypsy Aris from Varrock (Aris is late to the feast and does not arrive till after the player enters the room)
- General Wartface and General Bentnoze from Goblin Village
- Pirate Pete from Morytania
- Phileas, the Lumbridge Sage
- Evil Dave from Edgeville
- Skrach Uglogwee from the Feldip Hills
- Sir Amik Varze from Falador
- Awowogei from Ape Atoll
- Duke Horacio
Time DilationEdit
A cutscene ensues, where the Duke introduces his secret council, only to be interrupted by the Mysterious Old Man and will teleport to take care of it. Osman will then get taken away by Evil Bob.
At this point, you enter the room. A short while later, the Culinaromancer crashes the party and starts to attack everyone at the dining table with magic spells.
Luckily, the Gypsy from Varrock enters the room and casts Tempus Cessit, which freezes everyone in time, except for you and her. She explains that the Culinaromancer was a cook in Lumbridge a hundred years ago and had threatened the secret council with death, only to be thwarted by the Duke's assistant, who managed to trap him in another dimension. This assistant was the cook's ancestor, and was made head cook for life. The current head cook, whom you helped build the feast, apparently created a powerful food-magic, which released the Culinaromancer from his prison. Seeing him, the Gypsy casts the aforementioned spell, so that you both can protect the council from the Culinaromancer's attacks. While she can easily seal the Culinariomance in a heartbeat, due to the fact you caused the Culinaromancer to awaken she holds you responsible and sends you to save them as the magic is causing a temporal paradox that could destroy the known reality with the magic.
To release each member of the council from the Culinaromancer's spell, you must feed each of them their favourite food. After you give each member their favourite dish, Gypsy teleports them away to safety and tells you how many more council members are left.
You can complete these subquests in any order and start as many of them at a time as you want. Each subquest opens up increased access to the Culinaromancer's Chest, which holds a variety of goods.
Freeing the Council membersEdit
There are nine council members you must save from the Culinaromancer:

Subquest 10: Defeating the CulinaromancerEdit
- After you have freed all the council members, you will see a cutscene, where Gypsy Aris restarts time by saying "Tempus procedit!" The Culinaromancer will then retreat through the portal. Gypsy says you too must go through the portal to finish him off.

Add in some numbers from Cumpton last year, and it would be an easy story that I could file away as I tried to get ahead during the early weeks of Spring Training. But after talking with both players, I quickly realized that there was so much I didn't know about the sinker, and about what players discuss when they're talking to each other about ...
