2011 Ducati Diavel Diamond Black
Via A&R, it seems that Ducati has been listening to prospective owners about what they'd like to see in the new Diavel. As a result, Ducati has moved towards the Dark Custom movement with a new model of the Diavel called the Carbon Black.
Instead of bright paint and chrome, Ducati has gone to matte colors and black anodized metal. Additionally, they've dropped the white color from the line-up completely, in favor of this new black model.
To my eye, it's certainly more attractive.

Get ready for one huge chunk of adorable created by a tiny animal and its meal.
A YouTube video, "Tiny hamsters eating tiny burritos," exploded online overnight. As of 11 a.m. Thursday, the video had more than 425,000 views. It was posted Wednesday.
The video is exactly what it sounds like: Hamsters are fed a carefully prepared burrito at a tiny table. They eat off a poker chip.
It's stupid. It's adorable. It's pointless. Basically, it has everything it takes to win the Internet.
Judging by the clicks its already getting, expect to see this video pop up across social media all week long.

Mannie Fresh - Like a Boss
Artist: Mannie Fresh
Producer: Mannie Fresh
Album: Return of the Ballin
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 25 total votes )
More than five years after the release of his debut studio album (and four since his split with Cash Money), emcee/songwriter/producer Mannie Fresh has officially returned to his solo grind with the digital release of his second full-length. How's the former Big Tymer been holding up since last we heard from him? According to the project's lead single, he's still doin' it Like a Boss (Slim Thug, anyone?), enjoying the fast life in all its luxuriously expensive glory. Over his own fresh Southern boardwork, driven by bubbling synths and an authoritative piano loop, the New Orleans baller exults in his ongoing financial security, celebrates his musical legacy and reaffirms his loyalty to his hometown, spitting "This my city, this my home/ you heard I was leaving, well n*gga you wrong.." So, does this ever-stunting rapper/producer still sound as Fresh as he did back in 2004? If you think so, you can hear plenty more new tunes on The Return of Ballin, available now from online retailers and set for an independent physical release on November 17.

DEXTER Alum David Zayas Signs on for ANNIE Remake
A DEXTER alum has officially boarded the upcoming ANNIE remake.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, David Zayas has signed on for the film, inspired by the classic Broadway musical with a modern spin, joining Quvenzhane Wallis, Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale. The film is currenly filming on-location in New York City.
Zayas will take on the role of "Lou, the local bodega owner who is a friend to Annie and has a crush on Miss Hannigan."
As previously reported, the film's release date was pushed from Christmas Day 2014 to Dec. 19.
The upcoming remake of ANNIE will be helmed by Will Gluck from a script recently revised by Emma Thompson and Aline Brosh McKenna. Gluck will also serve as a producer on the film along with James Lassiter, Will Smith andJada Pinkett Smith, Shawn Carter aka Jay Z, Jay Brown and Tyran Smith.
The Broadway musical is based on the popular Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie, with music by Charles Strouse, lyrics byMartin Charnin, and the book by Thomas Meehan. The original Broadway production opened in 1977 and ran for nearly six years, setting a record for the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon Theatre). It spawned numerous productions in many countries, as well as national tours, and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical's songs "Tomorrow" and "Hard-Knock Life" are among its most popular musical numbers.
Annie, directed by James Lapine, is currently playing on Broadway.

Zayas had been with DEXTER since its premiere in 2006 until it concluded its run this month, and was also featured on HBO's long-running prison drama OZ. His film credits include THE EXPENDABLES, 13, and can next be seen in RIDE. Zayas was also featured in the original Broadway cast of 2003's ANNA IN THE TROPICS.

Cartogram of England by Population
The cartogram above shows what England would look like if we all had the same amount of space to live. That's to say, if the size of the counties were proportional to the number of people who live there.
Roll your mouse over the cartogram to get the names of the counties.
Each block on the cartogram represents 10,000 people living in that county - so London, with a population of just over 7 million has 712 blocks. North Yorkshire, despite being the largest county in terms of area, only has three-quarters of a million people living there, and therefore has just 75 blocks.
Counties are in the same layout as normal, so they have only their original neighbours. This is the reason for the strange shape of both the country and the individual counties. If you want a standard map to compare this one with, click here
Statistically, in the UK, all but 400,000 of us live on less than 6% of the land (Source: Guardian, August 2003).

"Box-n-Go saved us 50% on our move"
"We needed storage. Box-n-Go delivered the same day"
"With Box-n-Go I can pack whenever I want"
"We have peace of mind our things are safe"
Public Self Storage in Venice CA 90291
Its time for sun and surf! But what can you do with all your winter gear? Public Storage Venice CA can prove useful to you this spring. Whether you have clothes, furnishings, sporting gear or other seasonal items, Box-n-Go Public Storage Venice CA 90291 offers an array of storage services that can help you organize your seasonal items.
When summer begins to warm the coastal air, we naturally want to shed the heavy, dark, bulky winter accessories. However, not everyone has the space to house all the necessary items required for every season. Drapes, linens, clothes and of course winter sporting goods can take up a lot of space. Make room for fresh summery essentials by putting your things in Public Storage Venice 90291. Box-n-Go's Storage line of moving and storage services are perfectly suited to meet seasonal storage needs. What can Box-n-Go's Venice Storage Units do for you? What types of storage services can you take advantage of?
The remarkably easy and convenient portable storage system makes putting away your extra items a breeze. Simply order a storage container or more than one if you need. Give us an address, whether its Venice or somewhere else and we will deliver the unit right to your door in Venice! Pack it up at ground level at your leisure. We will pick up the storage unit at no extra charge and bring it to our secure storage facility. Once the chill of winter once again settles in, you can have your storage container redelivered to you. Unload it and we will then take it away. What could be easier? With all the Self Storage Venice CA 90291 has to offer you, why should you choose Box-n-Go Storage? Here are a couple reasons that set us apart.
To start with, Box-n-Go's Self Storage Venice CA services are priced competitively and are surprisingly affordable. Storing seasonal items does not have to cost a fortune, but can actually relieve some of the stress and clutter associated with limited space and extra items. Box-n-Go's Self Storage Venice 90291 services will only charge you for the space you use. Next, California summers can be hot and humid, an environment in which mold and mildew thrive. Storing your wintery items in a Box-n-Go Venice Storage Units can help ensure that your items will be clean and free of that musty damp scent. Our storage containers are specially designed to allow for air flow. This breathable storage container keeps your items fresh, clean and dry. So if you have things you will not be using for the next six months, why not order your Venice Storage Units today? Keep your home free of clutter this summer. Let it be as airy and light as summer itself!

Loughton Music Academy offering online lessons over Skype
Updated 9:19am Thursday 24th July 2014 in News By Douglas Patient, Reporter - Wanstead & Woodford
A music academy is offering music lessons over the internet.
A seven-year-old boy is learning to play the piano with Loughton Music Academy, despite living in Whitstable, Kent.
Daniel Sawa is due to take a classical Grade 1 exam later this year, despite never meeting his teacher face-to-face.
He has two 30-minute lessons a week over Skype with Loughton Music Academy director Cliff Cooper, based in High Road, Loughton.
The lessons are being offered by the academy as part of their outreach learning strategy to provide lessons for people who cannot get to the facility due to distance or mobility issues.
Mr Cooper said: "We have trained a team of teachers in Skype lessons, use the Orange OPC computer and have even designed our own teaching board to use with lessons, and it seems to be working!"
"Daniel has just performed in one of our concerts via Skype from his living room, projected on a large screen so he could see the audience and performers. He played two pieces brilliantly.
"What Daniel has achieved shows how good online lessons can be."
One 30-minute lesson costs £15.

Previously, the property was a family-run rental company. Rice Rental Center filed for bankruptcy in January 2009, after more than 40 years in business.
Winfrey said they've gotten a warm response from folks in Beverly, including from neighbors and Beverly Main Streets.
"We think Beverly is a nice, strong community," Winfrey said. "We think that we share a lot of the same values as most people that live in Beverly. ... We're extremely excited to become part of the community over there."
The property, which was assessed at $689,300 this year, is on the south end of Cabot Street, across from a laundromat and next door to Beverly Historical Society's John Cabot House.
A family operation
Christine and Stuart Winfrey started their candy and fudge business in 1979. Their three children, Mark, Scott and Jillian, now work alongside their parents and are raising a third generation of candy-makers.
The couple started making fudge in their basement so they could stay home with their newborn twin sons. They moved into their Rowley headquarters in 1990.
They now have 55 to 60 employees, including part-time and seasonal workers, some of whom have worked for the family for decades.
"We've grown ... with a lot of work and some luck sprinkled in," Winfrey said.
Jillian Winfrey is the general store manager and marketing manager. Mark Winfrey is the packing department manager and also helps with the corporate and wholesale business. Scott Winfrey is assistant production manager.
Winfrey's peak business centers around holidays — the business does 50 percent of its business for the year in December, Mark Winfrey said.
Production ranges from a few hundred pounds per week in the offseason to thousands of pounds each week around the holidays, including Easter and Valentine's Day.
The family is friendly with other local candy-makers through the New England Retail Confectioners Association, so it's hard to consider them competition, Winfrey said.
"It's a great industry to be in. It's very friendly, very open," he said. "You're working with candy. You know most people are in very good moods when they're getting candy."

Although a day late, I remembered this and wanted to pass it on.
I am just being flippant, of course. I am not using this as a way to endorse, or deride, the hiring of Ken Whisenhunt. I just remembered the article from the magazine; and was curious how Whisenhunt scored based on this criteria. If you don't want to read the article, Wickersham states that:
. . . in the end, the majority of the most successful NFL headmen -- past and present -- have possessed at least one of the following four characteristics:
1. They were between ages 41 and 49.
2. They had at least 11 years of NFL coaching experience.
3. They were assistants on teams that won at least 50 games over a five-year span.
4. They had only one previous NFL head-coaching gig.
The Titans are lucky, because Whisenhunt possess three of the four. At 51, he misses the age characteristic by 2 years; which, if I were taking the study seriously, I would think would be the least important of all of them .
As a Titans fan I certainly hope that Wickersham's study is accurate. I personally wanted them to go with a defensive minded head coach, who concedes all offensive control to his offensive coordinator (the inverse of what Sean Payton and Gregg Williams had in New Orleans). However, I do think that there were much worse hires out there.
*cough* Jim Caldwell *cough*
I am willing to give Whisenhunt a chance, and hope that he get this team into the playoffs consistently. Oh, I also want him to beat the snot out of Andrew Luck and the Colts, seriously sick of losing to that team.

While asking fellow horse owners recently what they love most about their equine veterinarians, nearly every response began with, "Oh I love my vet. She's the best!" It sounded like every single veterinarian must be the best vet in the world.
I appreciate a vet who is open to complementary therapies, even if the science behind it is scarce.
Photo: Alexandra Beckstett
We all choose and prefer our vets for different reasons: The past two practitioners that have treated my horses started as a matter of convenience because they also treated the bulk of the horses where I board. After meeting and working with them, however, I decided they were pretty awesome and, hence, each one became "my vet."
The first of these two veterinarians, who treated several of my horses while I've lived in Lexington, recently accepted a great position at a clinic in New York, and so we parted ways. But these are a few things I really appreciated or that were unique to her:
It's never easy transitioning to a new vet, especially if you weren't in the market for one. This past year working with my current veterinarian, however, has been a great experience. We've spent more time together than I'd like, due to Hannah's hind-limb lameness therapy, but it's made me realize a completely different set of qualities that I really like about this individual:
Now that I know we all have the best vets in the world (Okay, so I'm sure there are some horror stories out there too), I'd like to hear some of your horse doc love: Why do you love your vet?

I love my vet because.......she is so patient & kind with horses! We have a 32 yr old mare and a 28 yr old mare and last summer the 32 yr old developed a habronema in her eye. She ended up having to do surgery on her eye and she was just wonderful with "Belle". She did such an amazing job, you can't even tell that she had surgery on that eye at all (the Vet had said that since she had to remove part of her eyelid, she may have a permanent squint)!! Our previous Vet just didn't have the patience, or I really think the love for horses that our Vet now does. That shows in the way she cares for them!!
Love our Vets, a young couple that took over his Grampa's farm across the field from my farm, and opened a clinic several years ago. He worked his way through college assisting area Vets and met his "Vet" wife in school. Their commitment to our rural neighborhood, large and small animal, is so much appreciated. They are there for all of us at all times of day and night 24/7, committed to learning new interventions, using new technology and equipment, supporting 4-H activities and not afraid to say "We don't know, and we're going to get more expert opinions". They have saved a number of our horses and dogs from serious illness and injury, and have been there to help us say our final good-bye to long loved family pets. It's common these days for young people to gain skills and move away...we are so grateful, and his Grampa would be so proud that he came home and has kept that farm and their family a significant part of our rural community.
I cannot begin to list all the reasons I love my vet. I run a small horse rescue and have had more than my share of sick horses, and he has always been compassionate but reasonable. And the kindness his entire staff show when we lose one is priceless. I trust him 100% and if he says it's the horse's (or dog...been through a lot of them too)I know it is. That is such a huge blessing. Plus he really knows his stuff!
We love our vets here because they take care of all of our livestock, including the classroom turtles. They are willing to go the extra mile. They do C-sections on cows, treat colicking horses in the middle of the night, and help us through losing a favorite old dog.
Three years ago, my mare had a pink nodule coming out of her eye attached to the membrane of her third eyelid. When I called, he immediately had me bring her in, sedated her and cut it out for biopsy. It came back cancerous. She is white with no dark pigment around her eye. The next week, he did a surgery, removed the third eyelid and he only charged me $200.00 as he knew we just moved into a new house. It was successful and he checked her every six months to watch for anything new. She has been fine, except she wears a UV Fly mask on any sunny days, winter or summer. He always is fair priced as he notices with hay prices rising, people ignore vaccinations and dental care, and he doesn't like animals to suffer because of inflation. He comes rain or shine on farm calls and if your dogs see him too, farm calls are $20, just to cover gas. He really loves the animals and passes that on to all of us in our small community. We are all grateful to him.
When doing any procedure with my horses she keeps a soft hand on the horse to feel any changes in the horses attitude. Always a soft pat ready soothing voice low for the horse. My Arabian stallion becomes putty in her hands when doing a procedure which is a miracle in it's self. He having a bad experience with a vet many years ago with a vet using his pointed toe boot to kick him in the ribs and me a 5ft woman tackling him and screaming at the top of my lungs to stop and get off my property. He doesn't flinch when my vet comes. As a retired RN I always look for subtle indications in my horses with my vet now none of my five horses fear my vet. When you love what you do it's not a job but something you want to do. Horses sense everything our fears, our anxiety a vet that can sooth both human and horse is someone to be in awe of. We all want to be able to communicate with our horses my vet does .
I love my vet because he is there anytime day or night, he tries to sve me money anytime he can but doesn't hesitate to send me to the vet school if need be
I love my vets because they are knowledgeable, patient, and willing to explain what they are doing, and why. Whenever possible, they provide alternative therapy possibilities, and costs. My horse likes her vets and the vet tech because they are patient with her and show that they genuinely care about her. They also put up with her likes and dislikes.
Aw, I love hearing wonderful vet stories!
SunnyJ, sounds like you have a special one - I've heard rural equine veterinarians are becoming few and far between.
Where to begin? If you want to know how much you love your vet, entertain for one minute the thought of replacing him/her. My vet has been battling cancer recently and it strikes fear in my heart, not just because I love him dearly, but selfishly because I don't know who could possibly care for my horses any where nearly as well. He's my lifeboat in a sea of equine troubles, he's seen my horses through everything, and he's a ready and calm help in any emergency. As I told him recently, he is a gift from God to us, and to all who know him.
If you want to know the second best gauge, how does your horse feel about your vet? My mare (who likes only a select few) loves him; and it's mutual, he always brags about how special she is, easy to work on, and well-mannered (if only he saw her when she was with someone she doesn't like, he'd have to reconsider his good opinion). This is a true measure as a horse's only prejudice is self-preservation.
And my third criteria - I can understand his instructions. He explains everything, the what, the why, and the how. Some people are irreplaceable, and although someday, and I hope it is far into our future, we'll have to find someone new, I know that Dr. B is one of a kind, and I don't know how we'll manage without him.
I love my vet practice (several vets) because they follow the three "P's": Professional, Practical & Patient.
Professional--They've got the training and gear to back it up--meds and equipment as well as the skill set to use them.
Practical--they can look at my unique situation AND respect it(be it where my horses live, what they're used for or their physical condition and age). They will make recommendations that will work for everyone's best interests...... AND finally,
Patient--they take time to explain a procedure or treatment option and give me a chance to make decisions--from the small (like vaccines) to the large (like putting a horse down)
If your vet has "the three P's", you are in good hands!
Great info, Lucy - love the "three P's" description. I might have to reference that sometime :).
I love my great Vet, who, as Kathy said, would be tough to replace! She exemplifies the "Three P's" and is always wonderful with the horses, who never lie about who treats them right! My horse suffered through a horrible choke on dry pellets, after the dentist took off too much tooth. She arrived quickly, and calmly treated him, administering three doses of tranquilizer, since he was not happy with the tubI have great empathy with Jeanne's comments about the Vet kicking her stallion. My previous, long-time Vet also kicked a young stallion in the ribs, while the owner and I were watching. He had a hindlimb laceration and should have been tranquilized. I never used that Vet again, and the owner, also a long-time client, stopped using him too..... We are our horse's keeper and must safeguard them from mistreatment.

So I am feeling kind of blah about my progress...I haven't been exercising like I want and I don't have the support at home/friends that I want/need. I decided to check out the quotes that SP has listed and one that stuck out for me was
"Those who believe they can do something are probably right- & so are those who believe they can't." author unknown.
I really like this because I need to change my way of thinking...if I can do this, I can achieve the weight loss and healthy life style that I want.
Today's small goals are to drink my water, track my food and get in ten minutes of exercise. I am thinking about SP Bootcamp Cardio. If I can do that I will be happy and proud of myself. Oh well if I am not doing my Jillian like I want, I WILL be doing something and it will be burning calories, that's all that matters to me right now!
So my first day of Stage 2 didn't go as planned yesterday. I had hoped to track all my food and mark it down, but National Night Out got the best of me. I didn't eat healthy and I didn't mark any of it down So I am starting new today. I had fun and my whole family was outside with the neighbors all night instead of in front of the t.v. That was a nice plus to feeling icky after not watching what I ate. Now to figure out if there is a way to use the constant moving outside as some form of exercise...
Like I said, today is a new day. I am going to watch what I am eating and mark it down as soon as I can. I hope this will help me be more aware of my "grazing" that I tend to do being a stay at home mommy.
Not only do I plan on tracking what I eat today, but I want to get in a good 20 minutes of Jillian. I think that means I will be taking the kids outside this morning (its not too hot and its not raining, both of which it has been for the last week +). Than they will be pooped out and I may have the time to squeeze that in. If not I may have to beg the hubby for the time when he gets home tonight. I have to get back on track for that too. I need Jillian to kick my a** so that I can lose the rest of my baby weight and be more energized for the family again. I can tell that I have been sluggish the last couple of days...coffee just doesn't cut it.
But I better get a few more things done on here before I get caught up in the day and lose focus...
Tonight is National Night Out, and here I am going into stage two where I'm supposed to watch what I eat. Good thing we are in charge of the meats and I will be making turkey sloppy joes. I just have to stay away from the chicken wings! I have never been good at tracking what I eat, so these next six weeks will be something new for me. I think it will help me greatly in my weight loss journey, and in my new healthy way of life.
Yesterday I made a SP recipe of baked chicken breast...that was so yummy! I cant wait for lunch since I have leftovers!
But the kids are waking up so I am off to "work"
Yep, its a Monday morning! I feel it in my body and mind...more my mind than my body. Not only is it the beginning of a new week (my weeks start on Mondays not Sundays), but it is also the first day of a new month! This will be my first full month as an active member here on SparkPeople. I am really looking forward to it, and have BIG plans for myself!
First off...my goals for the week:
1. Log on to SP every day this week
2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day this week
3. Exercise for at least 10 minutes 6 days this week, preferably doing my 30 Day Shred
Second....goals for the month:
1. Set weekly goals each week and achieve them each week
2. Do something active with my family each weekend, even just getting outside with the hubby and kids and chasing each other around
I am not making a huge amount of goals, but I want something to work for and know that I am able to do them. I don't want to fall short and feel discouraged. I would rather make the goals I know I can do and feel victorious once reaching them and than add in harder ones slowly.
Today, being a Monday, is sure to be crazy. I have my extra "daycare" kids who I babysit for my friend and we are hosting National Night Out for our block here tomorrow. I have weeds in the garden still and a house and garage to clean...I know it is a night out...but I don't have an outside bathroom, so I have to clean inside too...yikes! Maybe I can enlist the help of the kids somehow...hmm...
Alright, I better finish up my morning routine on here and start getting active instead of sitting in front of the computer all day...lol
What a stressful Sunday! I really wanted to workout to Jillian, but got busy. I did do 30 minutes in the garden pulling weeds, but its just not the same. My hubby is cranky and that just isn't any good. We went to see great grandma, who won't be around much longer, and helped around there. The only problem is that no one else in the family seems to want to help them the way we do. It is frustrating because we are the great grandkids and the grandkids, my aunts and uncles don't do anything like we do. The other part of the day is that I love my hubby and understand he works hard so that I can stay at home with the kids, but he must think that I just play with them all day and do nothing else. I have to put up with their attitudes all day, not just at night and its not just all fun and games. There are numerous times I just want to go and do something to get away from them. Not that I don't love being with them, but I want grown up time. And than he gets home from work and I get to keep doing what I've been doing if not more. I am just venting here because I guess this is my stress reliever, something that lets me get it off my shoulders and not have any hurt feelings because of what I have to say. But it is 10 and I should get some sleep since everyone else is too...I have a new week ahead and plan on getting my butt in shape this week!

Long time listener, first time caller to this site. This is a jewelry box I made for my wife as a Christmas present. Yep I had a hell of a time inlaying the B(her name is Becky). I think I will get a small mirror to cover the back glue marks. The corners are box jointed with a PC 2216 jig and then rounded over. I used Poplar, Walnut and Aspen.

I like the way the two levels came out now. But they were kind of mandated because I couldn't get the top to open cleanly with the way I had the curves cut in. Oh well, live and learn.

What the Howl? Men and women's basketball deserve tournament support
It's not easy to lead a conference from day one and continue to win and play well like the Lady Red Wolves have, but they did it.
The A-State women have won an outright conference championship (which makes me happy, because I don't like the thought of sharing with other schools).
So to the women, I say congratulations. To the fans, I say give this team your utmost support. Because they will be playing in the postseason, it's just a question of where.
The men may be in for a tougher path to the Big Dance than the women.
The men begin their run to the SBC Tournament Championship title on Friday when they take on the UALR-Troy winner.
They'll go in as the No. 4 seed in the tournament, yet I actually have some confidence in this group.
John Brady stated after Saturday's loss he believed the Red Wolves could go down to New Orleans and win three games. I think he's right.
The top three seeds have been a pain in the Red Wolves' side, but it's not as bad as you think.
Two losses to conference champion Georgia State by a combined four points, split meetings with WKU and two losses (should have been a split in fans' eyes) to a talented ULL squad has the Red Wolves sitting at the No. 4 seed.
Do I think both squads have a legitimate chance at cutting down the nets in New Orleans? Yes, I do.
Do I have as much faith in the men as I do the women? No, but that doesn't mean the men can't do it.
They have the offensive talent to get it done. It will be on the defensive end that will be the tale for them.
Support your Red Wolves basketball squads this week. Both squads have played well this year, though some can argue that men could have performed better.
While that may be the case, they're still in an overall good position.

Nkechi's Birthday Countdown to 60 lbs thinner!
Okay I'm back! This time I am concentrating on my water intake and eating lots of veggies and lean proteins. I have to get this weight off! My birthday is in exactly 6 months so starting today and I want to lose 10 lbs a month.
Over the summer I hit my all time high of 257lbs! :cry: Granted most of it was water weight that I was retaining for not eating right and not taking my meds but still...It was a sad day and I knew then I was out of control. It took me some time (and a couple of false starts) to get back on track. So here I am - BEGINNING AGAIN - and I need all of the help I can get. I will be journaling my progress here. I actually officially started yesterday but I am starting my countdown now.
This morning's weight: 247 (Praying to lose the first 10 easily :aprayer:)
You can do 10 lbs a month no problem i bet!! Here's praying you can find the tenacity to attack this dirty bugger!
Yes I am well on my way. I started ACV last last night and I am going to try CO for lunch. So far so good. I've really been concentrating on getting my water in. I think that's the key. Now if I could only get motivated to go back to the gym...:rolleyes:
Today's weigh-in: 246
Yesterday's Menu
Breakfast - ACV shot with lots of water and Lipton Green Tea
Lunch - Bacon, Eggs, and Cauliflower with water and CO
Dinner - Fried fish :o (it didn't have much breading but it was still fried) with more water and a little cream cheese with raspberry davinci's
You are doing great!
Today's weigh-in: 245 (That's 4 lbs since Sunday! :clap:)
Yesterday's Menu
Breakfast - Green Tea w/Splenda and CO
Lunch - Buffalo Bits, Greenbeans, and Diet Pepsi from Bojangles
Snack - 1 oz packet of Cashews and water
Snack - 1 Hotdog and water
Dinner - Baked Chicken with Spinage
Snack - Cream Cheese w/Raspberry Davinci's and Peach Tea flavored Vita Splash (fiber)
Not a bad day...
Hello Nkechi,
I see that we both are trying to accomplish the same goal. I just started back today myself and I know what you are going thru. Please visit my journal sometime and we can support each other. Just take it day by day and meal by meal. You're right about the water, it poses a challenge for me as well, but I do better when I buy bottled water, something about it tastes better. I feel that 10lbs a month is not unrealistic. You know I went to the library and rented the Atkins 72 version of his book. Oh my God I can't believe how simple that book is to understand compared to the other versions.:kicking: When I thought about it and read the book this is sooooooooo simple, we make it hard. So let's partner together and meet these goals.:clap:
This morning's weight: 245 lbs.
Yesterday's Menu
Brunch: Bacon and Eggs w/Peach Tea flavored Vita Splash (fiber)
Snack: Cream Cheese w/Raspberry Davinci's and Peach Tea flavored Vita Splash (fiber)
Dinner: Fried Porkchops :o and Broccoli
Snack: Cream Cheese w/Raspberry Davinci's and Peach Tea flavored Vita Splash (fiber)
Water Water Water
Today's Menu
Breakfast: Coffee with Half & Half and Splenda
Snack: Sprite Zero

I joined a new Gym last month where one of my coworkers teaches a Kick Boxing class. I told her I may come to her class tomorrow. I really need to get back on the ball with exercise. Not only do I have a gym membership now that I am paying for, there is also still they mini gym at work that has treadmills. If I was a smart gal (and not lazy), I could go to the gym at work and walk at lunch time and then go to my regular gym after work. We will see...
Wow, you sound like me...I've yoyo'd for so long, but finally hit my highest weight ever this summer(except for when I was pregnant:blush:) at 258:eek: Yikes! What a wake up call! We just have to take it one day at a time and we will get there. We have to remember we can be anything we want to be!
Good luck!
This morning's weight: 243 lbs.
I am so excited. My feet and ankles had started swelling when I stood for a long period of time by now they are skinny again. Now all I have to do is work on getting the rest of me to catch up! :laugh:
Congrats on the 243! That's great I still hanging below 200 and I am proud of myself. Your menu's look great! Makes me hungry.

I'm not feeling to great because TOM showed up early this morning and I've had major cramps all day. I've only had 2 sausage dogs and a cup of coffee so far for today. I plan on having a salad for dinner and maybe something warm to help with the cramps. Usually TOM has me eating like crazy but I haven't felt much like eating like I usual. Pray that I can keep it together. :aprayer:
Friday's menu was thanks to a conference I attended. The food was good. I have been trying so hard to make good choices and planning what I eat. I haven't been as hungry and I think it could be that I am in ketosis. What ever it is I am greatful because it has kept me from eating everything like I usually do. :laugh:
You are doing fantastic!! Now your skinny ankles can carry you to the gym!! You'll have that first 10 gone in no time!
Thanks for the compliments ladies!
This morning's weight: 243 lbs. I know this is because of TOM :annoyed:

Snack: BBQ pork rinds with diet Dr. Pepper

So far so good! I usually fall off the wagon at this point so I am pleased with my progress. I've kicked up my water intake and I have been going back and forth to the bathroom all day. I had 1.5 liters this morning and I am trying to finish off my second 1.5 before I leave work. That's about 100 oz of water! Boy my kidneys should be clean! :laugh:
Still holding at 243
Yesterday's Menu

Lunch: KCF chicken w/o the skin and the other half of my Applebee's Grilled Chili-lime Chicken Salad

I need to get in the gym. I need so motivation though. And today I started having sugar cravings. It was probably because I ordered my niece's birthday cake. :annoyed: I will resist temptation!

Lunch: Steakhouse burger from BK without the bun and a diet lemonade

Lunch: Chinese stirfry of chicken, beef, broccoli, bell peppers and onions and a few mushrooms with more water

Hi Nkechi,

We're doing all the work for you. All Perry stories, all day
Nashville matches the offer sheet to Weber, leaving Philadelphia desperate to make a splash to counter New York, which makes my dream of Bobby Ryan playing anywhere else but Anaheim much more of a reality. Discuss. (Haha, who am I kidding, nobody's gonna read this. I'm hilarious.)
Ryan is frustrated because he doesn't feel Ducks management appreciates his 30-plus goals over each of his first four NHL seasons. He seems to go through this a couple times every year, and usually the trade rumors involve the Flyers. In the past, Ryan usually indicated that he'd rather stay in Anaheim even though he grew up loving his hometown team and his father, Bob, has been a close friend of Flyers great Bob Clarke for years. No more. "I take things personally," Ryan said. "Anaheim to me has been a team over the past year that really has shown me nothing to prove that they want me here, unfortunately. Obviously, it's not the ideal situation. When you get drafted, you want to win championships with that team and every time they look to add a piece to the puzzle, I'm the piece going the other way. "I gotta be honest with you. At this point, I don't care. Move me ... because it's just tough going to the rink every day knowing that if something goes wrong, you're going to be the guy moved."

Jason Wayne Belcher, 35, had pleaded not guilty in 115th District Court, and chose to be sentenced by 115th District Judge Lauren Parish rather than the 7-man, 5-woman jury, Byrd said. Belcher will be ineligible for parole for 30 years, the prosecutor said in a news release.
The child was sexually abused at an Upshur County home in January 2012 while the youngster's mother was at work, Byrd said.
The jury had been presented today with evidence that Belcher had previous convictions of aggravated sexual assault of a child in Dallas County in 1999 and burglary of a habitation in Wood County in 2000, Byrd said.
"In addition, the jury heard evidence from another child that in February of 2014, she outcried to a teacher at a local school district that this defendant had been raping her for several years. The jury heard evidence surrounding that investigation that is ongoing in Wood County," added Byrd, who was joined by Assistant District Attorney Natalie Miller in prosecuting the case.
Gilmer attorney Brandon Winn represented Belcher.
While crediting former Upshur Sheriff's investigator Chris McCauley for probing the case, Byrd expressed appreciation to Wood County District Attorney Jim Wheeler, Wood County Sheriff's investigator Kyle Henson, and Wood County crime victim coordinator Robin Sherwood for their assistance in the case.

Board of Trustees
The Essex Junction Trustees is the governing, legislative body for the Municipality of the Village of Essex Junction. The five-member board is elected at large within the Village. After each Annual Meeting, one of the Trustees is elected by the other Trustees to the office of Village President. The Village President is the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees and presides at the Trustee meetings. The three-year terms of the Trustees are staggered to provide continuity.
Board Members & Contact Information
|George A. Tyler, Village President
|Daniel S. Kerin, Vice President
|Elaine H. Sopchak
|Lori A. Houghton
|Andrew P. Brown
The Village Trustees welcome your questions, concerns and suggestions. Please feel free to contact any Trustee at the email or phone number listed on this page.
Please be aware that the Trustees are not able to respond to emails as a group. If you send an email to all five Trustees, it is mostly likely you will receive a response from only one Trustee. This is because there are laws that prevent elected officials from conducting business outside of a public meeting. Responding to a group email is an example of this.
If you wish to discuss a concern with the entire Board of Trustees, the best way to do this is either to contact the Village Manager to have your concern placed on an upcoming meeting agenda, or to attend a Board of Trustees meeting and address the Board at the beginning of the meeting.
To put an item on a Board agenda, call the Village office at 878-6944 and speak to either Patty Benoit or Village Manager Pat Scheidel. To speak to the Board of Trustees at a meeting, be there when the meeting starts (usually at 6:30 p.m.) Immediately after the Pledge of Allegiance, the Village President will ask the audience if anyone wants to speak about something that isn't on the agenda. That's when you can bring up your concern.
Summary of Last Meeting
The Village Trustees had a regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, August 26th. Highlights from the meeting are as follows:
-A public hearing on the 2014 Comprehensive Plan was held, and the plan was adopted;
-A joint meeting with the Essex Selectboard was held to discuss the results of the Shared Services Report. This document will be available on the Essex Junction website for residents to comment on;
-An amendment to the Essex Junction General Rules and Personnel Regulations was approved;
-A Generation Interconnection Agreement with Green Mountain Power was approved;
-An amendment to the Traffic Calming Policy was approved;

Complaint filed over science edNovember 20,2012ALBANY, Vt. A group of parents in a Vermont school district has filed a complaint with the state Education Department saying their children arent getting a proper education in science.
The parents of a combined third- and fourth-grade class at the Albany Community School say a teacher who formerly taught fourth-grade English and social studies was told to teach science, too.
The parents said the teacher told them at an open house that she feels overwhelmed with her additional duties.
The Caledonian-Record reported that Principal Jill Chaffee wrote to parents that there are no financial resources in the current budget to hire additional staffing. She said the middle school science teacher will help primary grade teachers enhance the science program.MORE IN Vermont NewsSlow Money Vermont to launch in Vermont Full StoryCOLCHESTER The Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival opened Sunday with one of the most...

Pamida.com's web traffic eventually will divert to Shopko.com.
Regional retail chain Shopko Stores Operating Co. has acquired Pamida, a Omaha, NE-based department store retailer that operates 193 stores in 17 Central, Midwestern and Mountain states, Shopko says. Shopko did not say how much it paid for Pamida.
Shopko, No. 550 in Internet Retailer's Second 500 Guide, plans to divert web traffic from Pamida.com—which does not have e-commerce capabilities—to Shopko.com, says vice president of e-commerce Mike Sidders. "Everything will be moving to the Shopko brand, so we do not foresee a separate e-commerce operation for Pamida," he says.
The combined company will be based in Green Bay, WI, and led by Shopko president and CEO Paul Jones. Pamida CEO John Harlow will help with the transition. Shopko says it will invest around $80 million over the next year to convert most of the Pamida locations to the Shopko Hometown store concept, 15,000- to 35,000-square-foot stores that combine pharmacies with department stores.
Mike Sidders will speak at the Internet Retailer Web Design & Usability Conference 2012 in Orlando, FL, in February in a session entitled "Design 101: 10 best practices to pick from the pack."

I entered the room, "Jamie honey, what are you doing here?" my aunt asked. I knew how hard she'd been trying to act normally over the last few hours, I'd seen her crying just after she'd spoken to the police for the first time. But she stopped as soon as she saw me. The man she was talking to now was tall and thin, with a bored expression on his face.
"Why did this happen to him?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"We don't know." he said in a tone that suggested he may have told her this already
"But you're the police, you must be able to tell me something!" My aunt was almost in tears as she said this.
"I'm sorry, I have to wait for the forensics before I can tell you anything."
The man did not look sorry. I could tell my aunt was thinking the same thing.
"When did you last see your husband Mrs Johnson?"
"I told you, I saw him just minutes before poor Jamie found him."
At that they both turned to me as though they'd only just remembered my existence.
"This is the boy that found Mr Johnson?" he asked
"Yes. He's coping brilliantly." My aunt said, her voice trembling. I decided it was the right time to pose my question:
"Who killed Uncle James?"
My aunt's eyes widened.
"Oh, Jamie," my Aunt gasped
"nobody killed your uncle, it was a tragic accident. Isn't that right Detective?"
"Uh…" said the detective uneasily. At that, Aunt Elizabeth burst into tears.
I decided it was time to leave.
DI Richards
I arrived at the house. Another murder, another family to deal with. James Johnson; fifty six years old, died from a blow to his head. I knocked on the door. A woman in her fifties answered it and attempted to smile. She spoke before I had the chance.
"You must be Detective Richards."
"Yes." I said quickly "You've already had officers in, I take it?"
"Yes, they told us not to touch him." Her voice wavered at the last two words.
"Good. Who found the body?"
"It was my nephew. He's a slightly unusual boy." What was that supposed to mean?
"Okay, I need to see the crime scene."
"Yes, James…the body is in the sitting room."
The woman led me through the house. It was big with plush carpets and old paintings. I tried to keep the distaste from my face. We reached a large room filled with two chairs, an antique looking coffee table and yet more oil paintings. No TV. The corpse was sitting in an armchair to my left and it would have looked peaceful were it not for its open, staring eyes and the ugly gash on the back of its head.
"At what time was he found?"
"About nine thirty this morning, I think."
I checked my watch 12:04. At that moment a boy entered and stood just inside the door "Jamie honey, what are doing here?" the woman said anxiously."Why did this happen to him?" she demanded, turning to the detective,
"We don't know" I insist,
"But you're the police, you must be able to tell me something" What did she want me to say?
"I'm sorry, I have to wait for the forensics before I can tell you anything." I said calmly. She didn't reply so I continued with my original question:
"When did you last see your husband Mrs Johnson?"
"I told you, I saw him just minutes before poor Jamie found him."
I didn't remember her telling me anything so I just asked another question.
"this is the boy that found Mr Johnson?"
Yes. He's coping brilliantly." Why was she telling me about the kid?
"Who killed Uncle James?" This was the kid. I had to stop myself from smiling, he'd asked the only important question
"Oh, Jamie" The woman sounded distraught "Nobody killed your uncle, it was a tragic accident. Isn't that right Detective?" An accident? Wishful thinking much?
"Uh…" I said. What could I have told her? I couldn't lie.
The boy left. I told the woman that the forensics would be round soon and then followed his example, promising to be back with some answers just as soon as I had them. Just another day.
