Well, I've started being fairly strict on myself again. I have been watching what I eat and logging nearly everything. I haven't worked out in like 4 days because I had a "visitor" and really didn't feel like it...at all. I know, I should force myself...but really, it was a struggle to do anything. But anyways, just the change in eating habits made a HUGE difference! I woke up this morning and weighed in-get this: 175.6. That's down from 182! That's 7 pounds! SEVEN POUNDS! Seven. frickin. pounds. I'm just in AWE! Woohoo!
Now, off to the gym!
Well, well, well...I sure have fallen off of the SparkPeople wagon. Ugh. Well, it seems my last update was 11/19/10. So much has happened since then! I'll give you a quick rundown of the new stuff that has happened: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, LOTS of stressful times. My husband rolled his car 9 times just 4 days before Christmas (and by the grace of God did not get a scratch on him), the furnace in our house (which is SUPER expensive, by the way) went out on Christmas day, leaving us with no heat for four days, I got a puppy! A black lab who I named Bella and have spoiled rotten, OH! And I quit SMOKING! Yes, you read right: I quit. I'm a quitter. It has been the hardest thing I have EVER done and today makes day 6 with absolutely NO tobacco! Now, on to more pressing matters. I have gained back a few pounds. The last time I weighed in on here, I weighed 177. I now weigh 182 again. I haven't been doing well with my eating, and have either been too busy or snowed in with the recent string of snow storms to get to the gym. I know, no excuse, right? Well, I'm not giving up. The quitting smoking thing has been BRUTAL for my diet. I think the weight I have gained has all been within the last few days....all I want to do is eat, eat eat! Can somebody help me with this??? Considering the holidays, stress, and quitting smoking I kind of am impressed with myself. I maintained my weight loss rather well. I still work out, though not as much as I did before, and I still watch what I eat, though I am much more lenient than before. UGH. I guess I just need to go full-force on here and be super strict again, because damn it, I have a goal! I want to be 160 by the time summer hits! LET'S DO THIS!
Well, it's been a while! I have been a busy girl! I believe I have finally shifted into my "lifestyle change" phase, as I really no longer feel the need to log and track my exercise and calories, so I rarely do. I've noticed that with everything I eat, I am subconsciously tallying the calories, and I workout every day, WITHOUT fail. If I don't, the entire day feels off.
So, what's new with me? EVERYTHING. The entire world is new, when seeing it from a "non-fat" person's eyes. I see the different reactions when I walk in the room, I feel my clothes FALLING off. When I shop for clothes, it isn't agonizing! I actually can see something on a hanger and think "I bet that will look good on me," and 9 times out of 10, it does! Everyone I see tells me how great I look, and my confidence is soaring! A friend from highschool sent me a message not long ago and said she was looking at my pictures and was amazed and asked what I was doing, and I told her all about sparkpeople and how motivating and life-changing it was for me, and I told her to find her motivation and stick to it. I got a single reply: "Honestly, YOU are my motivation." Do you have ANY idea how amazing that felt!? It has always been me looking at someone who was "able to do it," and wishing I had that motivation, self-discipline, and success. Someone was looking at ME that way! ME! It has given me such a sense of empowerment! I look in the mirror and I am SO proud! I think "I know you can do this!" I am 18 pounds from my initial goal, and I realize that I probably wont make the deadline that I set by Christmas, but I don't care! I will be close and it is a HUGE difference!
My husband, best friend, and I recently joined the local gym. While it is expensive, it's amazing! The amenities there can't be topped, and I've discovered that being under contract and spending so much money a month on a membership keeps me motivated to go everyday! They give you an evaluation when you first join to set goals and customize your program with a fitness expert and dietician, and at my appointment I was weighed, measured, and talked to. As the expert, Jeremy pinched fat on various parts of my body, I felt very self conscious. Then he got quiet as he crunched numbers, checked on charts, and wrote things down as I nervously looked around his office. He finished and looked up at me, and rolled his chair over to where I was sitting.
My heart started pounding, because I was terrified that I had worked so hard and come so far only to hear how much work I have left. I was afraid that the news would discourage me so badly that I would want to quit.
He showed me the form, and on it he had circled the category "moderately lean." Really?! He used the word "lean" in some context when referring to ME?! He told me that I was in the "moderately lean" category according to the charts, and the weight loss goal he had set for me was......drumroll please.......
FIVE POUNDS. FIVE POUNDS?! Not Forty?! Not FIFTY!? I had never heard such a low number when given advice to my losing weight! Of course, my personal goal far exceeds that number, but it was AMAZING to hear! He set my range of motion on all the strength machines, instructed me on the cardio machines, and set me up on the FitLinxx network, which is where the machines communicate via WiFi to the network and automatically log my workouts when I sign into them using my ID. I know, hi-tech huh!? Sure beats manually logging my fitness! I can log in to FitLinxx from home and see what all I did, how many calories I burned, and how many pounds I lifted that day. Neato Mosquito! Iris (my BFF) and I meet up there every morning and work out. We're both mothers to toddlers, so it is a welcomed break for us, since the gym offers on-site daycare. We get a break from the kids, plenty of exercise, and time to talk ALONE like adults without screaming kids! It's such a blessing!
And, as a testimony to my newfound confidence, here are some recent pictures of me getting down in a cute little black dress with my girls!
Me and my best friend and workout buddy, Iris
Me and Courtney
The girls-no, that isn't a roll hanging over, lol. The dress is made like that.
Me, Anna, and Erin on the dance floor! I jokingly said this could be a degree commerical!
Having Sushi and enjoying a bottle of Saki!
So, this Halloween I got to wear a non-plus size costume, and I promised pics, so here they are!
Me and the Mr. as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, featuring my son as James from Thomas and Friends!
Me attending "A Wicked Weekend" at the Wildside Bar and posing to "she's got legs."
Me with the owner of the bar, dressed as a Viking!
Before the festivities!
My best friend Iris and I with some random skeleton dude!
Me: "Oh, what large teeth you have!"
Hubby: "Better to EAT you with! Rawwwwr!"
Proof that even the most disciplined healthy eater has weak moments when she sets sights on a big, juicy burger! This one probably had 1,000+ calories!
And finally, a comparison picture of my and the Mr. last December till currently. We are only 3 months into our weightloss journey and LOOK at the difference!
Hope you enjoyed! I felt so confident and pretty, I just HAD to share it with you guys!
I think I've had an epiphany. It happened the day before yesterday while I was showering. I was thinking about my journey, where I was two years ago, and where I am now. Let me elaborate:
Two years ago, I was smack dab in the middle of a messy divorce from my husband of a whopping three years, Wesley. It wasn't a question of whether or not we loved each other, because we did. It was more a matter of compatibility. We had different upbringings, opinions, religious beliefs, and personalities. Love simply wasn't enough. He had a very blunt, cynical way of addressing things, and he never spared my feelings when it came to my weight, intelligence, parenting skills, etc. The list goes on and on. You would think that this would make me want to lose weight, but it actually had an adverse effect. I gained, and gained, and lost more and more self respect and confidence with every added pound. Eventually, I could take no more, and I filed for divorce. This was VERY hard for me. The divorce was one of the most painful things I have EVER experienced. I can remember one night, I went out with the intention of having a "good time" and getting my mind off things. So, I went to the club that he DJ'ed at at the time. He wasn't working that night and I knew that, but it still wasn't a good idea. All of his coworkers knew all too much of the messy details of our divorce, and I could see them whispering, giving me looks, and some outright said things to me. This was the night I hit my "rock bottom" point. I went out to my car, locked the doors, and screamed bloody murder, and punched the steering wheel repeatedly. People walking by must have thought I was insane, and I can't say that they were wrong at the time. I pulled out my phone and called my sister, the only person I knew that would be up at 2 am. I spilled my guts, I had held it together on the outside all through it until this point, and everyone had been commending me on my strength...but it was so fake. I was devastated. I was dying. I was DEAD. I sobbed to my sister, and she told me I needed to see a doctor immediately. I slept in my car that night, too exhausted and my head pounding too badly from my sob-fest to move the vehicle. I dragged ass to work the next morning at 8 am, wearing yesterday's clothes, eyes red and swollen, and hair disheveled. I promptly reported to my supervisor and demanded a week of paid time off, and I guess he took one look at my appearance and decided to give it to me without a fight out of pity....or out of fear that I was packing heat and would kill him if he didn't comply. lol. I immediately high-tailed it to my doctor's office, and the check-in nurse asked me the reason for today's visit, and I joking replied "I'm getting divorced, and I think I may have officially gone off the deep end. I need happy pills." She gave me a sympathetic smile, and told me she had been through something very similar. I distinctly remember my weigh-in that day. "199," she said, "you're hanging on to the 100's for dear life!" I laughed, but inside I felt horrid. But after that, the pills didn't help, the depression deepened, and i gained even more.
I remember thinking back to that day and longing to hear a number in the 100's again, and wishing I could at the very least, go back to that weight...even if it WAS hanging in the 100's by one little pound. Eventually, I came back around. My depression lifted gradually, and I met my current husband. Shock of all shockers, I gained even more weight, but this time it was due to happiness.
Looking back to that time in my life, I don't even know who that sad little girl was. I now have the love of a WONDERFUL, amazing man who supports me in my every move, thought and decision, praises me for little accomplishments such as making the Dean's List this past semester, constantly tells me how beautiful I am, and connects with me on levels I never thought possible. I feel like a strong, capable, and accomplished "woman of the world," no longer constantly berated and belittled for my thoughts and opinions. I feel gorgeous, regardless of my weight (even though with his help, encouragement, support, and joint effort, that number just KEEPS falling), and I feel truly connected with someone. We are truly "two bodies, one soul."
And in my flashback, something else occurred to me. As much as I had reflected on that dreaded day's weigh-in at the doctor's office and wished I could get my weight back there, I have PASSED that mark by nearly 20 pounds! If that isn't success, I don't know what is!
In light of my recent discovery, I have decided to divide my journey into four separate journeys:
The first journey: Purging the negativity from my life (Wesley), and changing that sad, sad girl into a happy, HAPPY woman! (accomplished!)
The second journey: Learning to love myself no matter what, and finding someone else that does the same. (accomplished!)
The Third journey: Realizing that happy doesn't mean healthy, and actively attempting to change that: getting to 160 lbs (my initial goal) the healthy way. Then, attempting to get to the "healthy BMI range," which is 140 lbs. (in progress...)
The fourth journey: Maintaining the weight loss and new healthy lifestyle. (not yet begun.)
The biggest thing for me to remember is that there is no finish line. There is no end to this journey. This is and has been a total transformation, mind, body, and soul.
***In other news*** I met up with my best friend Iris yesterday, we try to meet up as often as possible to workout together, but we are both pretty busy and this was the first time we had seen each other in a month. I showed up in my baby tee and jeans, and the moment she saw me, she said "OH MY GOD! You look COMPLETELY different! You've lost so much weight! I have to take a picture! *snap* Your 'progress' pictures are NOT doing you justice!" and she kept stealing glances as we walked the trail and said things like "I can't quit looking at you! I'm *so* jealous!" (even though she only weighs 138 lbs and has a ROCKIN' body, which made me feel even better! She was jealous of ME?! She actually just posed in a calendar! And not THAT kind of calendar, the sexy but CLASSY kind). After our walk, she treated me to a dinner at Outback Steakhouse, and as we were walking from the parking lot to the restaurant, she said "honestly, you look the best I've EVER seen you look. I'm just in AWE!" After dinner, as a celebration of my weight accomplishment, we went to a Halloween specialty store, and she treated me to a skimpy, sexy, NON-PLUS SIZE costume (size M/L-10-14, and to the tune of 50 bucks!) for our planned night out on the 30th. I'm going to be Dark Red Riding Hood, and I'm trying to talk hubby into being the big bad wolf. You better believe there WILL be pictures. It looks awesome on me! I'm gonna R-O-C-K it!

So after riding a custom rigid ti 29er for the past couple of years I went on a ride with a buddy the other day. I borrowed his 429 and had so much fun I decided to visit eBay and see what showed up. Well there was a deal on a good condition 429 frame that had my name all over it. Now my Potts is sitting in pieces (it will get built back up soon but she looks so sad) and this is sitting in the stand now.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
We can all agree that Hanalei Bay Resort is the best place to stay on Kauai, and now you just discovered the condominium that is the best value for your vacation dollar. All HBR condo owners pay the highest monthly maintenance fees on the island to support the ground's luscious tropical landscaping - so why not sit ringside and survey the magnificent tropical foliage right form your lanai. On your top floor lanai you'll feel like Hawaiian Royalty as you stand eye level to the coconut palm trees and gaze across the majestic pool, then past Hanalei Bay and finally resting your eyes on the distant remarkable waterfalls of Bali Hai. You'll not walk far to the amazing open air bar and restaurant. The lagoon shaped pool with its romantic waterfalls and secluded sand bottom spa support privacy for your dreamy get-a-way. The buildings are laid out on the grounds with a mindful eye toward seclusion, and you'll have to stretch your neck from your doorway to see other condo buildings on the property. Don't forget the beach path which winds past the 8 tennis courts also has an optional shuttle service for those in a hurry.
This top floor condo unit is connected by a 'lock out' doorway with a king bed on the kitchenette side and two double beds in the adjoining room. Both recently renovated rooms are individually air conditioned with separate bathrooms, 42" widescreen TV's with DVD players. The kitchenette includes undercounter refrige and powerful microwave and toasteroven suitable for light eating. Large capacity washers, dryers and icemaker are located at the building's lower floor adjacent to the parking. The condo is located in the "Bougainvillea", the second building past the main lobby. There are many buildings (all named after Hawaiian plants) on the resort grounds but having close access to parking is definitely a luxury. Parking is immediately behind the building so you don't have to hike your luggage across to the opposite side of the resort like renters to other buildings. It is a short drive to grocery stores, restaurants, gift shops, kayak rentals, surf shops and of course legendary Princeville golf course. But with the great view, bar and restaurant, you'll never want to leave the thoughtful staff and beautiful surroundings.
The following comments were taken from the condo's online Guestbook:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Aloha David!
I wanted to tell you how much my family enjoyed staying at your condo. First, your location in the Hanelei Bay Resort is amazing! Every morning I sat on the lanai and enjoyed the view, which included a few rainbows and visiting with the birds. It was so relaxing. The staff at HBR was so helpful and kind. I also wanted to tell you how much we appreciated how you stocked your kitchenette. We shopped at Costco and had lovely meals using the hotplate, microwave and the HBR grills.
You made our trip hassle-free because everything we needed was in one of your cabinets or closets.
I hope we can return someday to beautiful Kauai.
Until that time I have memories of the ease of living in your condo for one week.
Mahalo and aloha!'
Roberta 7/10/14------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We stayed in this glorious condo unit 2305-6 for six days and it really has one of the best views across the resort grounds. The top floor was very quiet and romantic. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or a better value for our dollar." Tom and Kathy , 9/12
"Wow, this place has a great view! We rented out 2305-6, our three kids stayed in the two twin beds and we took the king. It was fantastic because we both had our own separate wide screen TV's and DVD players to unwind for the evening. Although my husband and I would sneak out to the hot tub in the evening. The kids didn't want to leave the pool to go sightseeing. The beach was calm and sunsets breathtaking. We definitely recommend this condo and resort." The Chase Family, March 2013
"The Resort doesn't have elevators so we carried our suitcases up the stairs with help from the friendly bell hop. For the rest of our stay the parking was close and not a problem. The top floor view was worth every step and the view was remarkable. The doors to the lanai opened at least six feet so that you were immediately connected to the swaying palm trees, and the shear curtain option made the room instantly romantic. We ate breakfast and lunch on the lanai and the kitchenette sufficed for the preparation and storage of all our food. We took a late night stroll through the torched lit walkways and ended up relaxing in the spacious spa. We appreciated the beauty of the condo and hope to repeat this vacation next year." Lily and Marcus, April 13
"My husband and I just arrived back home from our 10 day honeymoon in your wonderful Kauai condo. I am constantly looking at the pictures to reassure myself it wasn't a dream. We couldn't imagine a better resort or better condo to stay in. The lanai has to be one of the most romantic places on the planet. The sunset views are framed by the surrounding topography which you have to see to believe. No pictures can do this place justice because of the serenity and immense natural beauty. We will recommend this condo to everyone! Mary W. August 2013
"Unfortunately we arrived during a downpour but we got to see the resulting glorious rainbows and twelve different energized waterfalls across to the mountains. We walked around Hanalei bay, kayaked along the river and had a delicious Hawaiian shaved ice. This was just the start of a magnificent vacation. We enjoyed the condo immensely and celebrated our anniversary in the spa with our feet in the sandy bottom and our backs under the waterfall. It was great fun and I recommend the resort and condo to anyone with great vacation plans." Jackie R. 9/13
Keywords: Condominium
My wife and I invested in this Hanalei Bay Resort condo in 2003 after spending many years enjoying family vacations there. We live in Seattle and have spent the fall of 2012 working hard to completely refurbish and update the condo to make your vacation visits comfortable and care free. We appreciate the thoughtful letters acknowledging the uniqueness of this property and welcome comments on how to make it even more fabulous. We personally enjoy the lush tropical plants unique to Kauai's north end, and Hanalei Bay Resort gives special attention to preserving this special setting. We also come for the relaxing trade winds, close beach with great snorkeling, the fabulous tennis courts and the nightly entertainment. We both wish you have the most amazing vacation ever.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2003
Some of the other island resorts are either too large and impersonal, or they are too far from the ocean. Hanalei Bay Resort offers everything the larger resorts have but they also have a small resort feel within an AMAZING building site lay out. The beach is a short walk down past the tennis courts and a great place to explore. The sunset views from the restaurant or bar are breathtaking, and the pool and spa both are 'over the top' with unique cascading waterfalls. All the plants are green and the flowers colorful and fragrant. Hanalei Bay Resort has friendly staff, quick bell hop service and fabulous grounds to walk around.

Searching for Upside on eBay
eBay's (EBAY) star may have waned during the recession, but the online auction site could still offer some upside when it reports its second-quarter results after market close.
With rival Amazon (AMZN) reporting its own second-quarter results later this week, the spotlight is on online retail, which has certainly felt the effectsof the economic slowdown.
Whereas Amazon appears to have weathered the worst of the economic storm, eBay has taken a pounding. During the first quarter, eBay's sales dipped more than $171 million year over year to $2.02 billion. The company partly blamed weakness in its core Marketplaces business for the slump, although the strong dollar and tough macroeconomic conditions hardly helped.
Marketplaces, which includes eBay, Shopping.com, StubHub, Kijiji and a number of other e-commerce sites, saw revenue plummet 18% compared to the prior year's quarter. eBay's PayPal and Skype businesses were much healthier, though, and the firm predicted second-quarter revenue between $1.85 billion and $2.05 billion. Excluding charges, the firm expects earnings between 34 cents a share and 36 cents a share.Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are looking for the auction site to report revenue of $1.99 billion and earnings of 36 cents a share. Even if eBay posts these numbers, however, it would still mark the company's third consecutive quarter of negative growth. But there could be still be some positives for investors. The buzz that once surrounded eBay may have now faded, but at least one analyst is expecting to see some good things from the San Jose, Calif.-based firm.

In our political system there is a fundamental divide between the two political philosophies. Liberalism versus conservatism has long been a battle of ideas and has ebbed and flowed in various forms throughout our nation's history. Liberals advocate for Big Government whereas conservatives call on government to get out of their lives. Last week, President Obama said that government "made this country great." I beg to differ, Mr. President. America was made great because of her citizens – not because of her government.
Government overstepping its boundaries was on full display last week at the United States Supreme Court where Obamacare was argued. By most accounts, President Obama's Solicitor General, Donald Verrilli Jr., did a terrible job arguing the government's case defending Obamacare, particularly the individual mandate. The individual mandate is the most egregious section of Obamacare, requiring every American citizen to buy healthcare on the presumption they will eventually need it and be in the market for it.
As Justice Antonin Scalia said during oral arguments, "Everybody has to buy food sooner or later. Therefore, everybody is in the market; therefore you can make people buy broccoli?" Justice Scalia's comparison of healthcare to broccoli may seem trivial to some, but in truth he hit the government's argument right on the head. It is unconstitutional for the government to order its citizens to buy anything, whether it is health insurance or broccoli.
Solicitor General, Donald Verrilli's argument fell apart and those watching this historic case knew it. Jeffrey Toobin, a liberal commentator who writes for the New Yorker and appears on CNN, seemed shaken by Verrilli's performance on Day 2, calling it a "train wreck" that put the law "in grave, grave danger." It is not totally Verrilli's fault because it is hard to defend the indefensible.
Hearing about the three days of Obamacare oral arguments reminded me of some of the great moments from our case, Citizens United v. FEC. The most dramatic exchange that stands out in my mind came when then-Deputy Solicitor General Malcom Stewart was forced to admit during the first round of oral arguments that the government had the power to ban books. I was sitting in the gallery and to see the justices' faces was priceless. Undergrad political science students taking Con-Law know that it is unconstitutional for the government to ban books because of their First Amendment rights.
In the rearguing, then-Solicitor General and now-Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan attempted to argue that even though the government could potentially ban books, it never had, and so we must trust the government when it says it never will. I knew we had the case won at that point because Kagan's argument just did not hold any water.
At the end of June we will hear the Supreme Court's decision on Obamacare. I am very optimistic that the Supreme Court – like it did in Citizens United – will rule in favor of the Constitution, and a smaller government. President Obama's philosophy is that Big Government is always right and just. It is now up to the Supreme Court to keep President Obama and Big Government in check.

Restaurant Revisited: A Pie in the Sky at Aponte's Pizzeriaby Maria Russo in Shows, August 25th, 2013
Facing nearly a quarter of a million dollars in debt, Tony Aponte looked to Robert Irvine and the Restaurant: Impossible team to give his Mason, Ohio, business, Aponte's Pizzeria, a second chance at success. Tony had been working in pizzerias since he was 11 years old and purchased Aponte's just eight years ago. But during that time, he hadn't made a single change to the menu. "I grew up on it, and I stick by it," Tony said of his food. Ultimately, it was this menu that Robert deemed to be the root of Aponte's downfall. "There's just no taste to anything," Robert said simply, noting that the dingy decor and difficult-to-navigate entrance didn't improve the overall dining experience. With only two days and a $10,000 budget, Robert got to work on breaking down the self-described "bull-headed" Tony and transforming Aponte's into a thriving pizzeria once again. FN Dish caught up with Tony a few months after his business reopened to find out how it's doing today.
After a rocky start, Tony is adjusting to the changes at Aponte's. Robert's improvements have boosted the restaurant's bottom line, with a 60 percent increase in sales at the end of June.
Although a few of the old plates are back on the menu, Robert's custom-made dishes are still featured at the pizzeria. Tony tells Dish that nearly all of the customers are happy with the new offerings, especially the Salmon Tapenade and Chicken Parmesan.
The contemporary design has been well received by diners; as Tony explains, "95 percent of the customers love it."
Tony adds that he's micromanaging his team less now and is indeed more accepting of change than he was before Robert arrived. "I am looking forward to what the future will bring to [the] restaurant, my family and me."

Want to know how Aponte's is doing? Find out at http://masonbuzz.com/2013/11/28/mason-pizzeria-re…
I cringe when I hear these owners talking about bringing there old menu items back …..
Very scary and they all seem to go this…
Makes me nuts!!!
Sometimes I think these restaurant owners just want a free remodel. makes you wonder about the stubborn rude owners who always go back to their crap menus. I have been to some dives before, with cleaner kitchens then the main floor and the food was good, and been to nice looking places where the food sucked, the menu is HUGE and the whole point of having a restaurant in the first place besides having a buisness, Cooking good food for customers, so if you can't do that right, u will never stay open. good luck Antone, I would rethink your old menu items, mayhaps change what is wrong with them and fix them if you insist on keeping them.
Wife and I was in Lebanon,OH, today and thought we would just make the short 10mile trip to Mason to Apontes, after seeing the show on Food Network….OK,….we parked in the rear of restaurant,walked toward the front,and quite honestly,you still have to look at a sign on the side of the building to figure out how to get in,and part of the sign is hand written with an arrow,kind of sad after a "big makeover"on TV…..it had snowed the night before,and ,no effort had been made to shovel the walking areas to get into the business,also the parking area still covered in snow(this at around 215pm….AHH, yes, 215 pm…..as we walked in, the host asked us if we were dining in, or taking out…we said "dining in"…….NOPE!!!…closed between 2-4 in the afternoon for diners, carryout only…..the website says nothing this,we turned around and walked out as 2 other people was going in…they also walked out………I guess Tony does not need the business….snow-covered ,slippery walks,hand made signage,and web-site not up to date…..we wont even try again……I didn't even get food,and somehow felt like they didn't care one way or the other
The owner is obviously a Jersey guy with a bad attitude. The man is 250,000 in debt and should have greeted you warmly not put hungry back out in the cold.
he was a ignorant ass. his food sucked before and after
Went to Apontes because we saw the episode on RI on Saturday January 18th around 7:30pm. Drove around 45 mins in the snow just to go here. Parked in the back untreated parking lot. Still was unsure about where the entrance was as we approached the building walking on the untreated sidewalk as well. Walked in and immediately saw the owner sitting at the bar drinking a beer with his daughters, that we recongized from the show. The host then asked the owner where she should seat us. Our waitress was very nice but not very attentive. She recommended the dumplings that were seen on RI>
We waited and waited and waited finally when they arrived they were warm as if they had been sitting out and burnt at the top. Then ordered 2 10" pizzas and a greek salad. Again after waiting and waiting and waiting, while the owner sat at the bar we recieved our food. The $9.00 over priced salad that was suppose to come before our pizzas came out the same time as our dinner. The pizzas tasted okay, but were barely luke warm.We noticed that there were more employees "working" (on their cell phones) then customers. Which would explain why our food was luke warm. As a small business owner myself I try and help out those who are in small businesses as well. But it makes its difficult to support businesses like this one. For my 45 min drive in the snow and a $50.00 bill for luke warm food, we will not be returning to Apontes anytime soon.
did you call the owner over to your table and bring his attention to it? Why did you not send the food back and just leave? I would have. Clearly the man has some issues…
I drive by this place everyday and honestly there is no difference from them and the laundry mat accross the street, both have the same 80's style window painted signage that is nothing but a turn off. Robert would cringe if he came back and saw. Not to mention the sign out front, the wood is rotting away and ready to fall apart. Don't seem to show any pride in what they have. Real shame.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Guns on campus bill passes Idaho Senate committee 7-2
Updated On: Feb 12 2014 12:20:16 PM MST
Colleges and universities are one step closer to permitting students, staff and visitors to bring concealed firearms to campus after the Senate State Affairs Committee voted to move it forward Wednesday.
The 7-2 decision comes as proponents argue that the bill is necessary to uphold second amendment rights and allow students and staff to protect themselves.
A BSU psychology professor was among those who testified in favor of the bill, describing her terror when a former student threatened to kill her last month.
Opponents said the bill, which allows retired law enforcement and enhanced concealed carry permit holders to bring firearms to class, will be costly to implement and leaves colleges unable to guarantee the safety of those on campus.
The bill is headed to the full Senate for debate.

eBay to Buy Shopping.com
Cobb said eBay approached Shopping.com only a few weeks ago. "We were impressed with what they were doing and how they structured the assets they had," he said. "The further down the path we got, the more we felt it was an even stronger fit."
Among those assets are Epinions, which Shopping.com bought more than two years ago. Shopping.com said Epinions offers 2 million product reviews from 400,000 independent reviewers. eBay, which is facing a number of lawsuits, is taking on another in this acquisition as former directors of Epinions are suing the company, claiming they didn't get a fair shake when it was purchased by Shopping.com for $31 million.
Cobb and Shopping.com CEO Lorrie Norrington both said it was too early to say whether or how those reviews and Shopping.com's comparison search engine would be integrated into eBay, or whether eBay listings would be given prominence in Shopping.com search results.
"Our intent is to open up all the assets and opportunities that Shopping.com brings to the eBay family and take advantage of them as they make sense," Cobb said.

Updated On: Dec 25 2013 10:36:13 PM CST
One person is in custody following a fatal stabbing that escalated from a domestic argument in Lawrence.
Lawrence Police say officers were called to the scene of a stabbing at an apartment in the 4300 block of West 24th Place around 3:30 a.m.
Officers and medical personnel located a victim in critical condition on the scene. Lifesaving measures were attempted, however the person died as a result of those injuries.
Police say a female suspect was taken into custody at the scene.
Investigators say the stabbing happened during a domestic disturbance at the home.
The suspect has been arrested on a charge of second degree murder and has been transported to the Douglas County Jail. She will be making her first court appearance on Thursday.
Lawrence Police say due to the domestic nature of the crime, they will not release the identity of the victim.

'Texas Killing Fields' Critic Reviews
MovieWeb: 3 reviews
Rotten Tomatoes: 42 reviews
Neil Genzlinger New York Times (Top Critic)50Takes its suspense for granted, which leaves it weak where it should be at its most chilling.
Cath Clarke Guardian [UK] (Top Critic)40Forget about murder: this moody cop thriller is guilty of a more heinous offence - criminal negligence of its dream-team cast.
Nick Pinkerton Village Voice (Top Critic)The plot is a chaos of underdeveloped relationships and frayed loose ends, but every so often, Mann does something so right that it makes this seem less a matter of narrative disorganization than a commentary on the anarchy intrinsic to any investigation.
Joe Neumaier New York Daily News (Top Critic)20The only notable element of this police procedural is that director Ami Canaan Mann, daughter of filmmaker Michael Mann ("Heat," "Collateral"), who produced here, appreciates dad's esthetic but can't replicate it.
Lana Berkowitz Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)40The characters will be familiar to fans of police procedural shows and TV movies.
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)50Scenes do not always necessarily follow one another. I was sometimes unclear who some of the characters were.
J. R. Jones Chicago Reader (Top Critic)[A] southern-fried rehash of David Fincher's Seven.
Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic (Top Critic)50The story simply doesn't stand up, with its combination of well-worn plot elements and confusing red herrings -- or maybe they're just details that don't add up.
Lou Lumenick New York Post (Top Critic)50Long on style and short on coherent storytelling...
Eric Kohn indieWIRE (Top Critic)It might be unfair to read an artist's work on the basis of her lineage, but Ami Canaan Mann is asking for it.
Neil Young Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)Despite the presence of some notable names at the top of the cast including the currently ubiquitous Jessica Chastain, the steadily-paced drama looks more of a small-screen proposition.
Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)40Like the Texas City killer's plans, something's gone terribly wrong.
Michelle Alexandria Eclipse Magazine67I know many people don't like Sam Worthington and I'm one of them. Worthington is trying to prove that he's not the one-dimensional actor that we all think he is.

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky Ebert Presents At The MoviesA pretty routine police procedural with...a little bit of regional flavor.
James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk50works sporadically, but never consistently, and ends up feeling much lighter and more forgettable than its "inspired by true events" tagline would seem to merit
James Mottram Total FilmMann Jr shows plenty of promise in a film that doesn't tarnish the family name. But hindered by niggling flaws, it hardly revolutionises an over-saturated genre.
Boo Allen Denton Record Chronicle (TX)60Despite the jumbled plot and structural problems, the shady characters and gritty settings compensate.
Jeanne Kaplan Kaplan vs. KaplanNothing in this film sets your nerves a-tingling.
David Kaplan Kaplan vs. KaplanMerely an elongated version of any current crime show on television
Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com40A procedural without structure. It's a mood piece with no definable mood. It's a thriller without clear villains or even threats.

APM Terminals signed a 25 year concession agreement to operate and modernize the port of Monrovia, paving the way for a $120 million investment in its first fully-owned container terminal in Africa.
The company said it will construct a quay, establish efficient yard handling procedures, and install new equipment required to transform the Liberian port into "a more competitive, world class facility capable of handling modern, deep-draft vessels."
The Liberian government named APM Terminals, a unit of Denmark's A.P. Moller-Maersk, the preferred bidder to operate and modernize the port.
APM Terminals news from JOC:
Container Terminal Operators Face Strong Competition .
APM Terminals will upgrade the port to handle ships of up to 4,500 20-foot equivalent units capacity at a 600-meter quay.
It will have an initial annual capacity of 75,000 TEUs and 750,000 tons of general cargo.
"As part of APM Terminals long term emerging markets strategy, we have thoroughly investigated the needs of our customers in the market serving them through a gateway into Liberia," said APM Terminals Senior Vice President and Head of New Terminals, Peder Sondergaard.
"This will be the first 100 percent APM Terminals owned terminal in Africa which is a big milestone for us and represents the company's positive outlook for the region," said Hans-Ole Madsen, APM Terminals Vice President for Business Development for Africa Middle East and Indian sub-continent.
Maersk Line, Safmarine, CMA CGM and Grimaldi are the major lines currently calling at Monrovia.

I voted Elizabeth, but Audrey is not far behind. Elizabeth is popular, but it is a beautiful classic, and as you said, has so many fantastic nickname options! Plus, and I know I'm not the first one to say this, "popular" names now aren't all that popular.
I wouldn't worry about Audrey v. Aubrey- while Aubrey is trendy now, Audrey has been a well-known name for a long time.
IMO, Don't do Corinne just to call her Cora. They are two different names.
Camille is just nms, I agree that the meel ending isn't very pretty.
Good luck!

Camille is sweet, doesn't sound like you love it though? Maybe you should try to find other ways to get to Mila?
I love Audrey, but hate Aubrey. I would never get the two confused. Audrey could also be called Audie.
I would go with Elizabeth if there is one specific nickname that you also love and plan to use. (My favorites are Libby and Eliza.) Otherwise, even though it is a beautiful classic, it does feel a bit uninspired, imo.
Corinne is very nice, but I agree with a pp that Cora is a different name. I would use Coralie or Coraline nn Cora, or else Cora plus a middle name that could produce a nickname, like Cora Lucille --> Cora Lou or Cora Bellamy --> Corabelle, or something less cheesy!

When we told you last month about the return of Volkswagen's Jetta wagon, many of you were unimpressed by the car's bland styling and we don't totally disagree. Now, however, we find out what VW's hiding under those dowdy clothes. Inside Line is reporting that VW expects 2008 Sportwagens ordered ...
As expected, Volkswagen will introduce its Jetta Sportwagen in New York this week and we say it's about time, guys. Two years is too long.

The economy may not have shrunk, but it likely grew at the slowest rate since the recovery began
In April we noted that the economy took a step back. In May, things got a little worse. The June economic data is still pouring in, but so far it isn't much better. Those three months make up the second quarter, and this Friday we'll get its first GDP estimate. Was the quarter's economic growth even more anemic than the first quarter's paltry 1.9% annualized rate? Or did the economy shrink?
At this time, the consensus estimate for second quarter growth is 1.6%, according to MarketWatch. Economists aren't just being pessimistic here. Considering the economic reports we've seen so far, it's hard to imagine a much better result.
Let's consider the four components of GDP. Using the economic data we've got through May and June, we can construct scenarios for growth for last quarter. I've done an analysis, which is explained in detail below. Here are the highlights:
Real Consumer Spending: Even with the most optimistic of estimates, consumer spending didn't likely do much for GDP. We know real spending declined slightly in April and May, while retail spending unadjusted for inflation rose a bit in June. So at best we'll see a small bump to GDP from this component. The range for consumer spending's contribution to GDP is likely between 0.2% and 0.4%.
Trade: Net exports didn't likely help much either. The trade gap swelled in May. Even if it declined in June by the most in two years, it will provide little help to GDP. If May's trade deficit remained intact in June, then we'll see trade hurt growth. The contribution to GDP here was likely between -0.3% and 0.0%.
Business Investment/Spending: This is arguably the hardest of all the components of GDP to estimate. It doesn't seem likely that businesses invested a lot on equipment, considering that their weakening expectations drove them to slower hiring. Existing home sales were down, while new home sales were up. Put together, residential investment probably didn't soar. That leaves inventories. Incomplete data indicates that they appear to be in-line with their rate of growth from the first quarter, but additional inflation means that their contribution to GDP will be smaller. This component probably added somewhere between 0.0% and 0.6% to GDP growth.
Government Spending: Treasury outlays show that defense spending rose in the second quarter, which will likely result in an uptick in federal spending. Meanwhile, however, we can be pretty sure that state and local spending continued to fall. The Treasury's extraordinary measures to prevent puncturing the debt ceiling are believed to have made state and local budget management more difficult. We also know that state and local government jobs declined in the second quarter. This means that government likely contributed somewhere between 0.1% and 0.6% to GDP growth.
If you add these four components together, you find that it's pretty hard to realistically imagine GDP growth exceeding 1.6% in the second quarter. But it isn't crazy to see it drop all the way to near zero if the more pessimistic estimates are considered. The leading positive contributors will likely be business investment and government spending, both of which also happen to be very difficult to estimate.
This makes Friday's report extremely important. If GDP growth matches the consensus projection of 1.6%, which is at the high end in the estimate explained here, then it will match growth in the third quarter of 2009. That's also the weakest since the U.S. first saw GDP rise again after declining for four straight quarters. If it falls in-between the two scenarios explained here, it will mark a new recovery low.

Want to know if you need a prescription to buy modafinil? Or do you want to buy modafinil with no prescription? We reveal how to do this here.
Do You Need A Prescription To Buy Modafinil Online?
Are you wondering if you need a prescription to buy modafinil? Or maybe you want to buy modafinil with no prescription? In this article we reveal all for you. Take a look and make sure you read it all the way through, because there is a lot of information here for you.
Modafinil is a prescription medication in almost every country in the world. All first world countries including USA, UK and Australia are very strict with their implementation of prescription requirements in physical pharmacies in their country. Other countries are pretty relaxed, but most of us aren't that lucky to live in Mexico.
If you have been looking to buy modafinil online and can't figure out all the rules about if you need a prescription, or how you have to have your prescription, or if you can buy it without a prescription or with no RX etc, that's ok, it's not your fault. It's almost impossible for anyone to decipher all the complex laws regarding this. So lets take aim at the enemy, and we'll clear the air regarding this.
How To Buy Modafinil Online With No Prescription
I've heard almost every question in the book, questions such as:
- Do you need a prescription for modafinil?
- Can you import modafinil into Australia?
- Can you buy Provigil online with no prescription?
- Has anyone been caught buying modafinil from overseas?
- Is buying modafinil without a prescription illegal?
- Do I need a prescription for modafinil in the US?
- How do I get modafinil prescribed?
- Do I need a prescription for Provigil?
- Do you need a prescription for modafinil?
- Is it legal to take modafinil without a prescription in the UK?
And the biggest, most often ask question is simply How Can I Buy Modafinil Online Without A Prescription!?
So, if you are asking any of these questions, or wondering something similar than rest assured your questions will be answered here… just read the whole article.
How Can I Get Modafinil Or Provigil Prescribed From My Doctor?
It's difficult to get a doctor to prescribe you modafinil if you do not have narcolepsy, excessive daytime sleepiness or shift work sleep disorder. Therefor what you need to do is purchase from an International Online Pharmacy that will ship to you without requiring a prescription. It's much easier to get a doctor to give you a prescription online than it is in a real-life based scenario.
Different countries have different laws, and UK, USA and Australia are the harshest, but countries like India do not require the pharmacy to verify your prescription if you are overseas. Countries like Mexico actually have laws but the implementation and policing of those laws are lacking so the pharmacies ship it anyway. This is why you will never be able to buy modafinil without a prescriptions from a pharmacy in the USA, UK or Australia, because the legally must be super-tight and check your prescriptions.
Is Modafinil Legal Without A Prescription?
If you live in Australia, America, UK or most countries in Europe chances are it's actually not legal for you to buy or have modafinil without a prescription. That doesn't really stop anyone though. Let me explain more…
The laws for taking prescription medication without a prescription aren't exactly the worst. If you somehow get caught you'll get a slap on the wrist and maybe a fine. And actually, there are almost no reports of anyone being arrested for 'possesion' of modafinil. Importing modafinil without a prescription is a similar fine if you are importing small amounts for personal use BUT customs officials cannot arrest you if they don't have you in person.
What Happens To Modafinil In Australia Customs (And US and UK Customs)
If you package is found at customs the worst you will get is a 'love letter' describing you have imported a medicine that requires a prescription and you can either show up with the prescription or you choose to let them destroy it. Hint: do not show up. Then you cannot get fined.
That being said, I've never really heard of anyone having their package seized by customs, so this will not happen to you.
But of course, if you try to import 5000 pills and you might get in a bit of trouble, so don't do that. If you are importing 200 or 400 you are totally fine, and smaller amounts don't even show up on the radar… so for the most part you're pretty safe.
No-one Gets Caught Importing Provigil Without A Prescription…
The reason being you have to get caught in the first place, which doesn't happen. I don't know of anyone who's been arrested or penalized for importing modafinil. The worst I've heard is a letter from customs saying they inspected the package and do you realise you have to have a prescription for the product modafinil that you are importing. With a little P.S. don't do it again or we'll getcha!
Modafinil Prescription Rules – Schedule IV And Controlled Substances
In Australia drugs are classified under different Schedules as per the Poisons Standard which is governed by the Therapeutic Goods Administration or TGA. In the US the system is very similar with the FDA and with the UK its very similar with the NHS.
Modafinil is classified as a schedule IV or schedule 4 drug which means that you are required to have a valid prescription to have it. Unlike controlled substances which are outright illegal (think heroin, or prescription drugs like morphine), schedule 4 prescription medication has significantly less laws governing it.
Why Modafinil And Provigil Requires A Prescription
Most of the laws and regulations are to stop practitioners from dishing out prescription drugs, and to stop pharmacists from dispensing medications without prescriptions. The laws are to stop people in these 'positions of power' from abusing the system for their personal gain. The laws aren't setup to penalise people taking the medications without the prescription.
The age old saying is that the cops go after the dealers, not the buyers. Obviously they want to take out the biggest pipe in the pipeline so they spend their time patching up the holes in the big supplier chains like doctors and pharmacists.
Is Modafinil On The PBS / Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme
Modafinil is on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme or PBS (or the equivalent Medicare or Medicaid in other countries) but it is only covered if you legitimately have narcolepsy. Of course you need a real prescription to claim this and most times you have to purchase through accredited pharmacies in your locations. So for the most part, no, if you are buying from online suppliers you won't be able to claim this… BUT…
Generally it is cheaper to buy modafinil online without a prescription than it is to get a prescription and buy modafinil in your own country anyway, even if you get a PBS rebate! It's pretty stupid I know, but that's the global economy for you!

Wife Pours Hot Water On Cheating Husband
An angry Colombian wife dumped boiling water onto her husband's privates as he slept after finding out he was cheating…
Via NY Daily News reports:
Yolivel Lopez allegedly tipped the scorching liquid on top of Nefer Netan's private parts after receiving a call from his mistress saying they had just had sex.
El Meridiano reports that Netan arrived at his home in the early hours of Tuesday morning after saying he had been out for a few drinks with friends.
Lopez allowed him to fall sleep, before going to the kitchen where she filled a pot with water and placed it on the stove to heat up.
Once boiled, she carried the pot into the bedroom and tipped it onto her husband's genitals.
Neighbors in the town of Martinez, near Cerete in north-east Colombia, said Netan's screams "pierced the night sky" and he was taken to hospital for treatment.
But, reports El Meridiano, doctors said his peen was "utterly destroyed" in the incident.
Locals say Lopez has not been seen since the alleged attack.

Hi guys, can someone really quickly tell me what a doctype is and the coding behind it. Basically if i construct website from codes i found on the internet etc will the codes be in different html 'formats'? and is there some sort of universal doctype i can use or do i have to define every type of html coding i used within that doctype?

Hah, funny that you ask this question just when I recommended you to use one in your other thread.
A document type declaration (abbreviated "doctype") tells the browser (or any program that reads the file) what it actually is that is written in the document. HTML has a predefined set of elements. The doctype declaration has a URI in it (e. g. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd for HTML 4) where the elements are defined which is telling the browser what is valid and invalid HTML code.
You put the doctype in the beginning of your document and it has to be present in every new HTML file (there are exceptions which aren't of concern right now, though).

Doctypes are an SGML command that defines the markup language used by a particular document. SGML is the meta language used to define markup languages that provides doctypes as the main way to attach the markup definition to the front of a file so that any program should then be able to use that definition to decode the meaning of the document content.
Unfortunately browsers do not actually use the doctype for its intended purpose and instead have their own built in definition of HTML that they use - web pages therefore end up being processed by the browser against the same set of HTML rules regardless of which version of HTML the doctype specifies. If they used doctypes properly then HTML would be far more flexible.
Instead browsers simply use doctypes to switch between three different "modes" that they use to process the web page content. No doctype at all puts the page into quirks mode where the browser does completely its own thing as to how the page is rendered the same way that browsers used to in the days before IE6. A strict doctype applies as close to the actual HTML 4/CSS2.1/ECMAScript3.1 standards as the browser supports along with whatever parts of the following version of each that they have implemented (only ECMAScript 5 and some parts of CSS3 have been released as a stanard so the rest of CSS3 and HTML5 are still subject to change - just as CSS2 was still subject to change when IE5 was released which led to the need for quirks mode in the first place). A transitional doctype (which indicates that the page actually contains two different versions of HTML - usually 3.2 and 4) is half way in between and implements some things according to the standards and some things the way they were in quirks mode.
