I like the sound of that but it looks pretty good as is though so I can forgive them for overlooking that. And since its $400.00 for the 20G and $479 for a the hell of a lot bigger 120G version I think its a good deal in terms of space/memory. I just wish there was something more besides that and "running cooler". Like maybe better graphics and an HD DVD drive which I know it doesn't have.Originally Posted by FR.
IMO the blacks better ( I got to clear xbox cause it looked better then the black though .) also I wouldnt need 120 GB but can you put movies on it? cause then I would like more space.

Although RHOA stars, Apollo and Phaedra, have not released an official statement on Apollo's recent arrest on fraud charges, one thing Phae Phae has made clear is that she is sticking by her husband. Additionally, more details surrounding Apollo's case are revealed. See the scoop below.
Via Centric TV:
The saga continues with Apollo Nida with new court documents that claim the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star sold a small property he owned in Atlanta just months before being turning himself in on suspicion of bank fraud and identity theft, among other charges.
Radar Online reports:
"According to court docs, Nida purchased the 1,300 sq. ft. home, which has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, in Dec. 2010 for the bargain basement price of $12,000, but sold it Sept. 26, 2013 for $9,000, taking a $3,000 loss. (If those numbers seem small, they are: The house had previously been sold for sums of $195, 021 in Sept. 2008; $185,000 in Jan. 2008; and $220,000 in 2005, according to legal docs.)
Nida was still on the hook for $514.60 in unpaid tax fees as of last month, according to the County of Atlanta.
Another interesting factor in the transaction is that Nida bought the tiny home AFTER his Nov. 2009 wedding to Phaedra Parks, a successful attorney/reality star."
Nida's shady business has many wondering about the future of his marriage with fellow "RHOA" star Phaedra Parks. While she has yet to publically speak about the matter, she did plainly answer the question that's been on everyone's mind.
On Tuesday, a fan tweeted Parks asking if the pair had separated yet in the wake of Nida's federal charges. She responded, "NEVER!!!!"
Nida has since been released on $25,000 bail, but is under several strict regulations which include the surrendering of his passport and release of any firearms in his possession.
A preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 12.

Our local health service faces big challenges. In part this is because of welcome changes in society: people live longer and medical science keeps developing new treatments.
Aylesbury Vale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) which manages the NHS budget for our area reckons that between now and 2026 the number of residents aged over 65 will double.
You might think that means that the over-riding priority for the CCG's planning and spending should be services for older people.
And yes, that is clearly going to be important, but it isn't the only challenge.
The CCG's analysis shows a big difference between the health of inner Aylesbury and the rest of the Vale (including outer Aylesbury).
It's disturbing to see figures showing that key health outcomes in inner Aylesbury are worse than elsewhere.
More than 8% of babies in the town have a low birth-weight, a higher proportion than the average for England.
Compared with the rest of the CCG area, inner Aylesbury has worse rates of infant mortality and of long-term conditions like diabetes, asthma and mental illness.
Town residents are also more likely to visit A & E.
For outer Aylesbury (including places like Bedgrove), Wendover and the other villages the key health issues are the needs of older people, including the long-term conditions associated with age.
Loneliness is a real problem and can sometimes lead to depression.
So the CCG has to deal with the demand for NHS services that inevitably results from more of us living to a great age.
They have to manage demand for the new drugs and treatments the scientists are developing - and do something about poor health outcomes in inner Aylesbury.
Whoever is in government the NHS budget will be finite, so we'll need to squeeze as much value as possible out of every £ spent.
The NHS will change over time. The fact that the CCG is being led by doctors and nurses is good. It's important that they consult us, the people who use the NHS, about their decisions and introduce reforms tailored to the lives and health needs of patients.

Anyone have any wise words of wisdom regarding this coin?

Q&A: Jewelry Designer Paula Mendoza
Meet the designer who's all about gold, raw gems, and artful inspiration.
June 12, 2013
Mendoza in her own designs
Recently in town for a trunk show at Miami Beach's Pistils & Petals, New York City-based jewelry designer Paula Mendoza's statement jewelry starts conversations. The Colombian-born designer has made a name for herself through her use of raw gems, particularly emeralds, and Colombian gold. We chatted with the journalist-turned-designer before her anticipated arrival to find out what inspires her standout designs.
How would you describe your designs?
PAULA MENDOZA: Bold, rich, elegant, and timeless.
How do you feel your designs fit into Miami's aesthetic?
PM: I think my jewelry aesthetic is the perfect combination of hectic, multi-tasking NYC and the relaxed vibe of Miami. It is very bold and fun so I think it is a great fit for the Miami woman who likes to travel.
I heard you used to be a journalist, is that correct?
PM: Yes, I went to journalism school in Colombia, and for a while I was a journalist during the day and a jewelry designer at night. It came to a point that I had to decide between one profession or the other, and I realized then that I wanted to create jewelry full-time.
What has been your proudest moment as a designer thus far?
PM: When the very stylish first lady of Colombia called me to meet her at the presidential palace to see and buy my jewelry. I was very honored that she chose me as one of her favorite designers.
Who inspires you? Any particular designer, artist, or architect?
PM: I love Proenza Schouler and also admire the work of Marina Abramović.
Do you have a dream client or collaboration?
PM: Dream clients would be Michelle Obama and Marina Abramović.

Mixologist to Know: Ryan Goodspeed
The Genuine Hospitality Group beverage director talks ingredients and bar scene trends.
June 10, 2013
The Genuine Hospitality Group beverage director Ryan Goodspeed
While on vacation in 2008, Ryan Goodspeed visited Michael's Genuine Food & Drink with friends—and he was so impressed that he applied to work for The Genuine Hospitality Group the next day. Now the company's beverage director, Goodspeed has overseen the bar programs of four restaurants, most recently Restaurant Michael Schwartz inside The Raleigh, where he also tends the hotel's beloved Martini Bar.
He believes in keeping cocktails simple and using locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible. "If you're always using the finest produce or spirits, you're going to execute something unique [with just] a few ingredients," Goodspeed explains. Right now he's working a lot with lychees, passionfruit, tamarind, and mangos.
"I really like working with different types of honey, smokey black teas, spices, Panther Coffee cold brew and espresso, syrups, grapefruit juice, and new spirits coming to market or old ones being revived. There's always a hidden combination of flavors to be found," he says.
As far as career path, Goodspeed took big cues from his first mentor, The Plow & Angel Bar's Brett Freeman. "I think the best piece of advice he ever gave me was to stick to restaurant bars." And that advice seems to be catching on throughout South Beach. "The big clubs will always be around, but as awareness for food and drinks grows, so will the craft cocktail scene on Miami Beach. As long as pricing is reasonable, they will come," says Goodspeed.
Currently, you can catch Goodspeed and special guest bartenders every Tuesday night (7-9 p.m.) at The Raleigh Martini Bar. Each week a new guest host introduces an original martini to be added to the Martini Culture Menu. 1775 Collins Ave., Miami Beach

Glitter products
and face painting?
by Gary Cole
|Subscribe to facepainthq

If you want to join the world's largest e-mail discussion list for face painters then enter your e-mail address in the box to the left. Get connected to beginner and professional face painters from all around the world. Ask literally any face painting question you want and get real answers to help you progress as a face painter. It is free and you will receive tips on how to paint a particular face, how to stop the line when its time to go home or how to build a successful face painting business. Share your photos with others or if you have a need ask for help and the painters will e-mail you a face painting idea for your upcoming event.
A common question on the discussion list for face painters is "are all glitters safe for use on the skin" and the answer is simply NO. One should not use any product on the skin, particularly on the face, unless it is cosmetic compliant. This is magnified when you use the product near your eyes. If your product does not say something like "FDA compliant", "cosmetic compliant" or "made for the use on skin" simply do not use it on the face. Your product container should specifically announce that it is safe for the use on skin. If not, it is PROBABLY craft glitter that has a completely different standard. ASTM approved glitter simply means when used as intended as an art product it is safe.
The worse case scenario is you get some bad glitter in the eye. Your insurance WILL NOT COVER YOU for an eye injury if you are using the wrong glitter and you harm someone's eye! Incorrect glitters can harm the eye and even cause blindness.
The problem is not all glitters are created equal. I travel around a lot and talk to literally thousands of face painters. I often hear about the concerns about using metallic glitters. The reality is a general consumer probably can not even get their hands on metallic glitters. These days they can only be found at auto body shops or the like. Most glitters are poly-bonded products. In other words they take a colored product, double coat it in plastic and cut it into hexagon (or similar) shapes. These come in all sizes. The guidelines for cosmetic grade glitters are much different that that of craft glitter. MOST GLITTER ON THE MARKET IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE ON THE FACE. Even at your make-up counter you can find glitter products that are not safe for use on the face. SNAZAROO has competitors that market unsafe glitter products. If you do not use SNAZAROO check with the manufacturer and make sure it is safe for the skin.
The basic difference between a safe glitter and one that is not safe is how it is made. In general, a cosmetic grade glitter is a poly-coated pigment. The plastic used is safe, even if it is swallowed or if you get it in your eye. The same is true with the pigments used that gives it color. Most craft glitters are poly coated dyes. This is different as the dyes can leach out when they come in contact with moisture from the eye or your face paints. These dyes might be unsafe and cause problems. These can be harmful if you get them in the eye. Add to that the way the glitter pieces are cut is very specific in a cosmetic application. This standard means everything from how clean the cut is, the safety standards of the machine used, the containers used and even what the machine is made from. Add to that there are cosmetic standards to the packing process defined by GMP (good manufacturing procedures). I hate to get gross here but there are hundreds of things to consider from washing hands after going to the bathroom to the cleanliness of the work area. Do you want something like rust to be swept into the glitter container with your glitter? If the glitter is used for an art project or to decorate your car you might not care. However if you use it near the eye and it gets in the eye you can do everything from irritate the eye, get an infection or even cause blindness. Error on the side of caution.
SNAZAROO only uses FDA compliant glitters in its glitter gels and loose glitter. Even with that said we suggest you use SNAZAROO glitter products above the eyebrow and under the cheek bone. Even with a perfectly safe product the glitter could be an irritant in the eye. Even if you get an eyelash in the eye it can cause damage if you rub it too hard.
So the bottom line is not all glitters are safe for the face. When in doubt do not use them. ONLY USE cosmetic compliant glitters on the skin. READ YOUR LABELS BEFORE USE.
The SNAZAROO glitter gels will thicken over time. Thin as needed with clean tap water. For best results, thin to a consistency of thin honey. The product should literally flow from right to left when you tilt the container. As you leave the lid off while painting it continues to thicken. At the end of a multi-hour job make sure to add a bit of water to keep it properly thinned.

text: This is the polar opposite of the look we featured yesterday. Where that was all whips and chains, this is sweetness and light. She did a great job with minimalist makeup that still gives her a defined mouth and highlighted eyes, but which doesn't overdramatize nor fight with the delicacies of the dress. But I wish I could shorten it an inch or two. And I concur with everyone who said she needed a pedicure with the ass-kicking black boots; polish would've helped here as well, although frankly, I'd also have tried different shoes. Those just disappear before our eyes, and not in a sexy way. The ensemble seems unfinished.

The Norwegian Forest Cat is also known as the Skogkatt in Norway, or more commonly and affectionately referred to as ?Wegies? amongst those that are lucky enough to be owned by one?or more of these rare, true treasures.This breed has been around an estimated four thousand years, traveling with the Vikings as both companion and working cat to keep the rodent population under control on the ships. To this day, the Wegie can be seen foraging in the forests of Norway. Wegies back legs are longer than the front legs. This unique build gives the Wegie a decided advantage in climbing and leaping. Wegies rarely just jump. Anyone owned by an indoor Wegie will tell you that his or her first purchase was in a tall and exceptionally sturdy cat tree. It is with ease, grace and agility that the Wegie comes down out of trees head first.Only achieving championship status in TICA in 1984, October 2004 marked the 25-year anniversary celebration of the Wegie in America. CFA also recognizes the Norwegian Forest Cat for championship status. The written Breed Standard of the Norwegian Forest Cat, which is a written description of the ideal Wegie used by judges, states that the front feet of the Wegie should ?toe out.? This results in the Wegie having a very unique walk. Also, the Norwegian Forest Cat is the only breed to have a Standard regarding the proper positioning of the front feet.To this day, Wegies contentedly live in the forests of Norway as feral cats. As in ancient times, the modern day farmer is always happy to see his native Forest Cat roaming his barnyard. This means that the Forest Cat is doing what it's ancestors did thousands of years ago -- helping the farmer by keeping the rodent population down.Wegies are a feast for the eye and for the heart. Agile, strong, muscular, intelligent, loving and affectionate are but a few of the adjectives that come to mind when describing this semi-long hair cat. Wegies often bond to one person and have been known to happily follow their person in the ?heel? position. Although not really a lap cat, the Wegie is a proximity cat; artfully keeping their favorite person in view at all times. Don?t turn around too quickly because you are likely to trip over your Wegie who is silently padding along behind you. Males can reach up to 20 pounds, females about 12 pounds. Life expectancy is 15-20 years, with good care and a stress free indoor life. It takes five years for the Wegie to mature.The voice of the Wegie is pure music to the ears. Wegies do not have the conventional meow. No, indeed. Conventional meowing is for conventional cats and the Wegie is far from conventional. Wegies sing to their people. Their voices are soft, melodic, often times combining several tones. Wegies are fairly quiet, both in activity and voice. However, when a Wegie speaks, the beautiful music entices the human ear to listen.Norse Mythology:Mythology speaks of a cat so big and heavy that even the god Thor could not lift this magnificent cat. Mythology also speaks of a carriage effortlessly pulled by two large cats. This carriage belonged to Freya, the goddess of love and fertility. Norse legend says that even today, there are large cats in the forest that appear out of thin air. It is further said that these cats have uncanny vision, as they are able to see things that men cannot.First Impression:This cat should strike the human eye as being strong, well muscled and heavy boned. Impressive, massive and intimidating, belied only by its slanted, almond shaped, luminescent green eyes, showing its sweet and lovable nature. Thick double coat, shaggy in the winter. Males will sport heavy mutton chops, dense bib and ruff. The head should have the shape of an equilateral triangle. That is, the point of the chin lines up with the outside corners of the eyes, which line up with the outside corners of the ears.ÿDescription:Breed standard according to CFAHEAD: equilateral triangle, where all sides are of equal length as measured from the outside of the base of the ear to the point of the chin. The neck is short and heavily muscled.NOSE PROFILE: straight, from the brow ridge to the tip of the nose, without a break in the lineCHIN: firm and should be in line with the front of the nose. It is gently rounded in profile.MUZZLE: part of the straight line extending toward the base of ear without pronounced whisker pads and without pinch.EARS: medium to large, rounded at the tip, broad at base, set as much on the side of the head as on top of the head, alert, with the cup of the ear pointing a bit sideways. The outsides of the ears follow the lines from the side of the head down to the chin. The ears are heavily furnished. Lynx tips are desirable but not required.EYES: large, almond shaped, well-opened and expressive, set at a slight angle with the outer corner higher than the inner corner. Eyes should be luminescent green.BODY: solidly muscled and well-balanced, moderate in length, substantial bone structure, with powerful appearance showing a broad chest and considerable girth without being fat. Flank has great depth. Males should be large and imposing; females may be more refined and may be smaller.LEGS: medium with hind legs longer than front legs, making the rump higher than the shoulders. Thighs are heavily muscled; lower legs are substantial. When viewed from the rear, back legs are straight. When viewed from the front the paws "toe out." Large round, firm paws with heavy tufting between toes.TAIL: long and bushy. Broader at the base. Desirable length is equal to the body from the base of tail to the base of neck. Guard hairs desirable.COAT: distinguishing double coat, consisting of a dense undercoat, covered by long, glossy and smooth water-resistant guard hairs hanging down the sides. The bib consists of three separate sections: short collar at neck, side mutton chops, and frontal ruff. Britches are full on the hind legs.
Contrary to popular belief, Wegies do need their human to comb (not brush) through the dense undercoat, removing the dead, loose hair at least once a week. Otherwise, the shedding undercoat will tangle and snarl in the topcoat and long guard hairs, creating some very challenging mats. Also, Wegies are naturally oily, which creates the waterproofing of the topcoat. If your Wegie gets too oily, then a bath is in order. Be prepared to use water, lots of water. Remember that this cat is waterproof. Shampoo will help the water become heavier. Brushing, instead of combing, will only encourage the oil glands to produce more oil.
Sweet, loving, gentle, affectionate, intelligent, and non-aggressive with other household pets. Not demanding of attention. Content to be near, rather than on their person. Wary and sometimes not friendly with strangers. Wegies are brave, inquisitive, dog like in their actions. Wegies have a tendency to form a special bond with one person in the home. Whole males are territorial, not only with space, but with ?their? person as well. Kittens are lively, especially females. To be owned by this rare and beautiful treasure is a unique experience. The love and devotion these beautiful cats unconditionally give is almost indescribable. Heaven comes to mind.

Monday's move shows just how serious the United States is taking North Korean threats.
While the Pentagon is adamant that we are not at war, North Korea's leadership seems to be fishing for aggression.
KSFY News sat down with one man in Sioux Falls weighs in on the tension, something that's become very surreal for millions.
For Sioux Falls City Councilor and USF Professor Dr. Kermit Staggers, the tension hits close to home. As a former member of Air Force Intelligence, having lived on the Korean Peninsula, this is something he's watching closely.
"The rhetoric is much harsher than I've ever heard it before. Threatening to bomb the US with nuclear weapons. This is kind of over the line from what they've previously done," Dr. Staggers said. "Let's hope it stays rhetoric and doesn't result in action."
Dr. Staggers was an Air Force Intelligence Officer living just miles from the DMZ in the early 1970s. Bells and artifacts around his home serve as a constant reminder of his time there.
What amazes him now, he says, after having visited just a few years ago, is what a difference a few decades has made for South Korea.
"When I lived there it was basically a third world country. Now it's basically up there on the scale of the U.S.," Dr. Staggers said.
More than 33,000 troops are stationed in South Korea, ready, though any war is the last thing that country needs.
"They don't want to have a war either because they'd have so much to lose. You have this primitive country, North Korea, making these threats against this economically advanced country, South Korea," Dr. Staggers said. "Maybe this will be just temporary, once again just to show (Kim Jong Un) is a tough guy, and then later on it will change. now it's not good, it's not good."
During our interview, we talked about Kim Jong Un's visit from former NBA star Dennis Rodman a few weeks ago. Staggers said Rodman probably didn't help the U.S. Foreign Policy but probably didn't hurt it either.
He hopes rhetoric will stop and the North Korean leader will begin to operate like a normal government leader, however there's no way to tell for sure.

LAWTON, Okla_Copper thieves, beware. Thanks to a new law, the state of Oklahoma will soon have the strictest copper legislation in the country.
Lawton has already been leading the pack in measures taken against copper theft, but thanks to some outspoken businessmen and copper theft victims, the state has stepped up to the plate.
But will this new law really make a difference, or will it just cause a headache for those already doing the right thing?
"There's crooks that are stealing it and there are crooks that are buying it, " said scrap metal dealer Kenneth Priest, who has reservations about the new law.
Come November, scrap metal dealers cannot pay cash for a sale in amounts more than $1,000. They must establish the identity of the seller. The law will also increases the penalty for providing false information for a log book.
Which all sounds great, but Priest says, by city ordinance, he's already been required to do all of those things for two years.
"When they buy something at our shop here, they have to show ID. We have to take a picture of their driver's license. We take a picture of them, and we take a picture of the material they're selling, " said Priest.
He issues a check for amounts greater than $150 and reports every sale to a statewide database. And he said because of all of these measures he's lost customers.
"Like a lot of other laws we have, it makes it harder on the honest person. The honest person has to jump through more hoops to do the right thing. The thief, the crook out there, will still steal his copper. He'll find someone to buy it, " Priest explained.
But copper theft victim, Richard McLaughlin is singing a different tune.
His businesses have been hit multiple times by thieves, and now his church has fallen victim too.
He has just spent another $3,000 on security measures and thinks this new law is just what the doctor ordered.
"It's up to the yards to be able to distinguish and that's what they hit. This new law that came out, hopefully will slow it down, but Wichita Falls is only 40 minutes away, " said McLaughlin.
And because of proximity to Texas he's hoping other states will soon follow suit. He said until the bar is raised across the board he feels he might still be at risk.
"I hope Oklahoma will be the milestone that people will imitate. This is not an Oklahoma problem. It's not a Lawton problem. It's a problem everywhere."
The new law won't go into effect until November 1st, but Priest said in his eyes, the only way to truly crack down on the problem is for police to be more vigilant about checking in, especially in rural areas.

[ Dtoider Magnalon has some great tips to protect your Xbox account from being hacked. - Kauza ] Lately, we've been hearing stories of an increasingly alarming Xbox Live hacking issue , and the lack of care and concern that Microsoft has exhibited in some cases. Sure, just being hacked is beyond inconvenient, but users also risk losing access to their accounts for extended periods and the horrible possibility of having to speak with Xbox support
Since reporting on the " FIFA hack " and related security concerns with Xbox Live and the Windows Live ID system, we've received stories, documentation and theories on how this is happening from dozens of victims.
In the current rash of Xbox Live hacking stories , Susan Taylor's might be the most interesting. Like many Xbox Live users in recent months, Taylor one day found that her Xbox Live account had been hijacked, and hundreds of dollars in Microsoft Points and Xbox Live subscriptions had been purchased, draining money directly from her linked bank account
Additional reporting provided by Xav de Matos, Senior Editor for Shacknews . Following an increasing occurrence of Xbox Live account hack reports, we are growing concerned over Microsoft's Windows Live ID system, the only layer of protection between a hacker gaining access to a person's Xbox Live account and their information. In our research, the only consistency we saw across users who were hacked was the general inconsistency of what email and payment method was used on their account
Now here's something. After years of listening to fans call this one of the great, under-appreciated classics of video gaming, people will actually get the chance to play a polished, updated version of Beyond Good & Evil. More »

With production underway on "Raging Bull II," MGM has pulled out the big guns, suing to not only halt the production of the movie, but also be awarded punitive damages "in an amount sufficient to punish the RB II defendants and to deter those who would commit or knowingly seek to profit from similar actions, now or in the future." Ouch. But let's rewind on this a bit first.
Based on the book of the same name by Jake LaMotta, Chris Anderson and Sharon McGehee, which examines both the early life and the events after those told in the Martin Scorsese picture, the film is being directed by Argentine-born helmer Martin Guigui, whose credits include "National Lampoon's Cattle Call" and most recently, the Dennis Quaid thriller "Beneath the Darkness." Scorsese, he is not. The film has veteran character actor William Forsythe taking over the lead role with a grab bag cast including Joe Mantegna, Natasha Henstridge, Penelope Ann Miller, Tom Sizemore and Cloris Leachman all on board. The movie went ahead because the producers seemingly got the rights to Jake LaMotta's sequel book, "Raging Bull II: Continuing the Story of Jake LaMotta," but not so fast says MGM.
According to the studio, MGM had the right of first refusal for any sequels and LaMotta was not authorized to sell the rights unless he went to them first, which he didn't. Moreover, they also claim that "Raging Bull II" is trying to boost its profile by associating it with the more prestigious "Raging Bull," which is, well, DUH and also claim that the sequel could tarnish the original. No response yet from the folks behind the unofficial sequel, but with MGM requesting a trial, they will have to lawyer up pretty fast. If those producers do lose the case, it will be a pretty big financial hit, but as we asked before, did anyone really want this in the first place? [Deadline]

There's no way they would've started production if they could get halted midway by a lawsuit by MGM. They wouldn't have got bonded without the rights being watertight.

I know this may be a little different than most people are used to hearing..
I am a gastric bypass patient, started out 3 years ago at 500.. got down to 240...Found my way back up to 360 by means of a twelve pack of beer 4 -5 times a week. Realized what I was doing to myself and in the past 6 weeks I have done a complete 180.
I am currently putting in 6 days of WL and CV training, but only averaging about 1000 calories a day. The surgery allows me not to have an appetite of any kind. I am sure to eat 5 times a day at 3hr intervals with the last meal devoid of any siginifant carbs and at least 3 hours before bed.
Granted my Basal and Activity level shows I burn on average of 4000+ calories a day. Im wondering if Im doing myself more harm than good with the lack of calories and intense training.
From looking back I notice 85% of my calories a day are proteins of some sort followed by carbs and fats
Ive also dropped about 25lbs in 6 weeks, but my strength is remiaining the same if not incresasing.....
It may be easier to look at my fitday journal and let me know if anyone has any other recomendations on change of eating habits
Any feedback would be great.
I'm surprised that you were able to down a 12-pack of beer after GB surgery.
You really should try and take in more calories if possible. I know it's difficult in your situation, but more carbs & fats espscially.
You're lifting AND doing cardio 6 days/week? what does your routine look like?

Oddly enough the liquids flow right through the pouch because of the lack of cardiac sphincter muscle that would normally hold fluid in the stomach... The pouch does get full of liquid for short periods of time, but that lasts for maybe 5 mins.. Food on the other hand will stay in the pouch until the acids start to break it down.
Supplementation is 2 Micellean (44g protein) shakes a day and 5gm of Glutamine at rising and 5gm at bedtime
My workout looks something like this..
Monday - Chest/Biceps (35 mins treadmill)
Tuesday - Legs (60 min spinning class)
Wednesday - off (35 mins cardio)
Thursday - Back (60 min spinning class)
Friday - Shoulders/Triceps (35 mins cardio)
Saturday (60 min spinning class)

Try to get in more liquid cals if you can. Even at 2000 cals a day you will be dropping loads of weight.
you change your sets and reps every week?
Drop the spinning class on leg day, counter-productive IMO
If you can down liquids like that, then add some fats like olive oil/peanut butter (except post workout) and some carbs like ground up oats, brewer's yeast, bananas or maltodextrin to your protein shakes.

Honestly, I think at this point you would do better if you could up the calories, as was said above. I would put in another meal an horu before bed like some natural peanut butter along with some cottage cheese. Thats an easy way to add another meal, and your body will love it in the morning....As far as workout, I personally think you should look at Baby Got Back by Built... You seem to like the 4 day split and its a killer workout. I am in the process of doing a modified version and I love it.

You will definately lose weight from having the surgery alone but its going to be trouble ever putting on some serious muscle getting full that easy.

The Collin Street Bakery in Corsicana, world famous for its fruitcakes and cookies, may now be known for something it's not so proud of. Wednesday morning, FBI agents raided the home of their corporate accountant, who is accused of helping himself to more than $16 million of the bakery's financial treats. Sandy Jenkins and his wife, Kay, enjoyed the good life. Luxury travel, exotic vacations, a driveway full of expensive cars.

If you've been looking at NASA's Curiosity rover with jealousy, there's good news — the Mars One program is looking for a few good astronauts for a planned mission to the red planet in 2023. The project recently released its guidelines for potential applicants, and they're pretty vague. So long as you're over 18 and "have a deep sense of purpose" and "the capacity for self-reflection," you have a shot. You'll also need to be willing to dedicate eight years of your life to training for the journey. Mars One plans to start the selection process in the first half of this year and four applicants will ultimately be selected for the first mission.
The lucky quartet will be chosen both by Mars One "experts," as well as via a "global, televised program" that the project says will play a large role in the decision. The show is expected to cover everything from the selection process to preparations to, eventually, landing and living on Mars. It's an ambitious project to be sure, and Mars One plans to make its mark on the planet very soon — a series of eight robotic cargo missions will kick off in 2016 in order to build a human settlement. If you don't make it as one of the lucky four, don't worry, as additional groups are expected to be joining them every two years thereafter. Failing that, you could always buy a t-shirt.

Allow me to be frank, I don't like our odds this Sunday. Even with a full squad, I think it would be difficult to beat the Colts. I believe that people are underestimating Peyton Manning. The fact that we could be missing our starting running back, right tackle, right guard, cornerback, #2 cornerback and one of our best special teams players is being downplayed. I will never underestimate Peyton Manning because he is arguably the best offensive minded QB ever. Any team going up against him will be challenged let alone a team that could be without it's starting CB's. Now, I am not saying that it is impossible to win on Sunday. But the thought of Peyton going up against Cox and Nate Jones doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence. What I am saying is that I am not getting my hopes up. I am entering this game with a different state of mind then I will enter any other game this season. Allow me to explain.
More after the jump
First off, lets talk about the injuries.
RT Ryan Harris- out
RG Chris Kuper- questionable
RB Knowshon Moreno- out
RB Laurence Maroney- Probable
CB Champ Bailey and Andre Goodman- questionable
LB Wesley Woodyard- questionable
S Darcel McBath- probable
Based on this injury report, we can only conclude that Harris and Knowshon are the only players certain not to play. The rest are questionable or probable (which really means they definitely will play). So the big question is which of these players will play: Kuper, Bailey, Goodman, and Woodyard. Bailey would be the biggest loss with Goodman not far behind. We need Kuper, but not as much as we need our starting CB's to play against Peyton Manning. We can certainly survive without Woodyard.
Personally, I am not sure it's worth it to rush Champ and Goodman back. It would be great to beat Peyton Manning at Mile High. Quite honestly, it would probably be the best accomplishment this season. Imagine the headlines. Broncos beat Manning, Colts without starting RB Knowshon Moreno. Finally, we get some Mile High Magic back.
However, it won't mean diddly squat if we beat the Colts but Champ or Goodman gets hurt further. Keep in mind that this is just 1 game. This is just our 3rd game. It won't matter if we start 2-1 if we finish 2-15. The best we could say at then end of the season was "at least we beat Peyton Manning and the Colts". However, that won't be any comfort at all and we know it. Was it any comfort after 2009? We beat the Bengals, Cowboys, Chargers, Patriots, and Giants. Woopty Tah. All it meant was we wasted a season that started with such promise.
The most important thing for us is to start healing and getting some stability before we start playing divisional foes. I'm not saying we aren't going to try because you know damn good and well that we will. McD is not going to coach a team that doesn't try. He wants to win. But at the end of the day, it comes down to risks. Is the risk of injuring Champ or Goodman further worth a week 3 victory against the Colts? I don't believe it is. I would be pissed if we won, but lost Champ or Goody for 6 weeks because the re-injured themselves. But I am just a blogger, not a Denver Bronco coach. We will see what comes of the situation on Sunday.
Speaking of the game, this is a great opportunity to test ourselves for the challenges ahead. We lost our season opener at Jacksonville, but whipped on the Seahawks during our home opener. We now start a tough stretch of games. After Indy, we travel to Tennessee, and Baltimore. We return home to play against the Jets and then we play our 1st divisional game at home against the Raiders.
Sunday is just the 1st tough game in a 4 game stretch. If we want to make a push for playoffs, we are going to have to rely on more then our secondary and Kyle Orton's arm to win us games. We are going to need a pass rush and a running game. We are also going to need our special teams play to step up. So this Sunday, I am looking for progression. Our RB's are playing against a Colts defense that let Arian Foster walk all over them. Our defense is playing against an offensive line that has the same amount of qb pressures (11) and 1 less sack (3) then our offensive line has. Our special teams are playing against a team that is just 19th in kick return yards. Our weakest areas have a chance to have big games this weekend.
Back Up Running Back
This is probably the key area to focus on this Sunday. Knowshon has suffered an injury during the week and won't play against the Colts. This might actually be a blessing in disguise. If we want to go places this year, we can't rely 100% on Kyle Orton. He is having an outstanding year, but teams are going to notice and start preparing differently. We need our running game to pick up to help balance our team. If our running game can get us into 3rd and short situations, Kyle Orton is going to be able to take care of the rest. The running game has to improve. Clearly, Knowshon is our best runner. However, he is constantly injured and behind him is a bunch of mystery. Buckhalter hasn't been the same Buckhalter that we loved last year. He appears slower and ineffective. He is supposed to be a change of pace back, but there hasn't been much change to his 2 yard pace.
This Sunday, we will see our first glimpse at Laurence Maroney in a Bronco uniform. By the way, what a great trade by McDaniels. Imagine if we had not traded for Maroney. We would be sitting with Knowshon, Buckhalter, Andre Brown, and Lance Ball. Yikes. Maroney gives some veteran stability to a young group. It's a big day for Maroney. His job is simple: be more effective then Correll Buckhalter. If he is able to be more effective then Buckhalter then the back up job should be his.
This should be Buck's last chance. He has looked bad in the first two games. He will likely be the starter on Sunday. He will get the first shot at running the ball. If his play continues to be poor then he should be demoted. If he plays well then great. More power to him.
This game will also be a great time to evaluate Andre Brown. If you have seen his highlights, you can see that Brown has plenty of potential. If he is able to show a glimpse of that ability on Sunday, he could spell the end for Buckhalter. I'm not talking about during the season, but if Brown showed he can handle being in our rotation, what's the use of keeping Buck next year? We will have Knowshon, Maroney, and Brown going forward. There is no need to keep Buck as a #3 or #4. We might as well cut ties and develop another young running back. I'm getting ahead of myself. Back to the game at hand.
This Sunday, we should all be looking at the running backs because it's an open audition. McD isn't saying it, but he has said that Buck, Maroney, and Brown are going to play. It's a talent evaluation. If Maroney is more effective then Buck, he will win the back up job and more carries going forward. If Brown shows he can handle being in our rotation, he will gain some trust with the coaches and more opportunities going forward. If Buckhalter proves he is better then the others then he regains his mojo and gets some momentum going forward as the back up. If not, he loses his spot to one of the other guys and the coaches don't waste anymore time. It's a win-win-win for the coaches. After this game, the back up running back situation will be much clearer for the rest of the year.
Rushing The Passer
It's no secret that we miss Doom badly. With Peyton Manning coming to town, we are going to need to apply pressure. Robert Ayers has had a dominant first two games. We need someone us to step up next to him if we want to start getting more sacks.
Jason Hunter is a prime candidate. People don't realize that he is still learning the 3-4. It took Ayers all of last year to learn the system and Hunter is still in the early stages. Despite all that, Hunter has still been able to apply pressure on the QB's the first two games. He was the one pressuring Hasselback when he threw his interception to Dawkins. The more comfortable Hunter gets, the more pressure he is going to apply. He always seems like he is just one step away from getting the sack, but just misses. It will be a big step going forward if he is able to sack Peyton Manning.
Jarvis Moss is the other prime candidate. He recorded his 1st sack of the year last week against the Seahawks. He lost some of his off season shine when Jason Hunter stole some of his playing time, but Moss showed last week that he is still here and contributing. He will need to follow up last week's performance with another solid one this week.
DJ Williams is someone I think should be getting to the QB more. In his career, DJ has just 2 total interceptions, but 10.5 sacks. I think Wink should start using DJ more on some MLB blitzes. DJ had a career high 3.5 sacks last year during Doom's career year. Now that Doom is gone, we can't afford for DJ's ability to get to the QB to start failing. He is a quick player who should be able to get to the QB more then he has been.
Nate Jones is another prime player to start getting more pressure. Nate is a solid nickel blitz corner. He is a fast player who closes to the QB in a hurry. I saw some CB blitzing in the pre season, but haven't seen much so far in the regular season. It's time to open up the play book and get players other then Ayers, Hunter, and Moss to get to the QB.
Special Teams Improvement
So far, our special teams play has sucked. In each of our first two games, our special teams have given up big plays. We can't make this a habit. The return of McBath should help tremendously. He is arguably our best special team player. With the emergence of Cassius Vaughn and the continued strong play of David Bruton and Wesley Woodyard, our special teams should start improving.
The Colts don't have returners that make you have nightmares, but they certainly shouldn't be taken for granted. If we want to win, we need to create turnovers and our best opportunity to do that might be on special teams.
I also want to see more plays from Perrish Cox and Eddie Royal. So far, neither of them have had special teams performances to talk about. Cox has been getting the majority of the work so it's about time for him to start producing on ST. He has the ability. It's just about seeing the lanes (assuming we are making blocking lanes) and hitting the holes hard.
It is like I said, the odds of a 80% Bronco team upsetting the Colts are not very high. But that doesn't mean this isn't an important game. I will not care as much at a loss on Sunday if we see Maroney step up. I will not care as much at a loss on Sunday if Jarvis Moss has 2 sacks and Bannan has 1. I will not care as much at a Sunday loss if our ST give up no extra field position. I will care if we lose, but show absolutely no progression. Just because we aren't likely to win doesn't mean we shouldn't bother trying at all. There are things we need to work on and this game can be a great opportunity to retool going forward and who knows, maybe there is some Mile High magic left.
