How can you say that with so little information? Blink wasn't too much.
@YaelMoise One third of the next series is written by writers new to the show and only three episodes are from a returning director. We're getting plenty of fresh blood already.
Before anyone gets any ideas I would like to point out that the extreme budget cuts the BBC has to undergo right now are a strong reason why Doctor Who will keep going for as long as possible, because it's one of the BBC's only few shows right now which make a profit.
TV ratings are a completely outdated way to measure the audience, as is the AI. Doctor Who is as popular as ever. End of story.
I kind of feel like the incredible hype around this episode may work against it in the end. After all, Blink was completely unexpected, so perhaps it would be best if we all just sat back and... okay, I can't do this, this is going to be amazing and I can't wait aahhh!
Oh, how I've been waiting for the series to hit these episodes. Right now, I am struggling to think of a run of three individual subsequent stories that had such a consistently high quality in the complete run of Doctor Who. The other contenders would be Robots of Death/Talons of Weng-Chiang/Horror of Fang Rock, Pandorica Opens/Christmas Carol/Impossible Astronaut and Human Nature/Blink/Utopia, but if Deep Breath turns out to be another classic, then we'd be at four and I can't think of another run as fantastic as this.
Given that Steven Moffat has spent the last five years squeezing out his brain for ideas, it is just astonishing, how many profound, beatiful and genius ideas he managed to fit into those three episodes. From little moments, like the Moment telling the War Doctor about the sound of the TARDIS bringing hope to whoever hears it to, to the big ones, to thirteen Doctors saving their planet and the show finally bridging the gap between the classic and the new series, something which desperately had to be done and was a wonderful anniversary present, in addition to a completely new and exciting Doctor.
2013 was very probably the most exciting year to be a Doctor Who fan in the show's history. I mean, think about it: Three regenerations, the chronologically earliest moment we ever saw on TV, all the Doctors in the same scene for the first time ever and the Doctor breaking through the regeneration limit, ensuring a long and wonderful future for the greatest show in the galaxy.
What a time it was! And how glad I am to have witnessed it all in real-time. Just imagine getting into Doctor Who now, without the months-long suspense about John Hurt or the cinema release of DotD. Of course, those stories are still fantastic. But they aren't events anymore.
@TheElusiveWhovian What about people who don't own a television? Isn't Doctor Who for them too? Why won't the BBC send them televisions for free?
This is just silly. You aren't getting it late, it's just that a lucky few people are getting it early. I don't think you would be complaining if you were one of them.
The Radio Times next week could very probably reveal most, if not all of them.
And here was I worrying that the community might have become too positive...
Complaining about the show they love? if people want to do that, fine. But one thing that is really bugging me is this underlying notion that the fans (or one particular fan) know best what Doctor Who should be and do. And the showrunner? Oh, what does he know. It's so incredibly easy to point at things one doesn't like from their own home when watching a series, but I would like everybody to remember that the people who are making the show (and first and foremost the Moff himself) are pouring their life and soul into what they believe is the best possible Doctor Who they can make.
If fans always got their wishes, we would be stuck with the most boring Doctor Who ever. There wouldn't be any boundaries pushed, no new ideas explored, we would be stuck on the same old loop again and again and again until the show finally collapses on its old and wary feet, but at least we, the fans, didn't have anything to complain about.
I'm sorry to say this, but what is the point of this article? Yes, it's well-written and well-argued, but really, who are you writing this for? The series is in the can, even if somebody from the production team read it, they couldn't change anything. All you basically did was pick out points from older seasons you didn't really like and go "well, I hope this doesn't happen". You said you didn't write it with the intention of being negative, but if you're aiming to write something with the central premise of "things that if they happened in the new series, I wouldn't like", then you're just bound to be negative, there's no other way.
This is such a ridiculous argument. It's like arguing in early 2010 about whether there should be a storyline involving in crack in space and time in the new series, because "none of the other seasons needed one". Just because something doesn't absolutely need to happen, doesn't mean that it shouldn't happen at all.
@LGwalchmai95 The Paternosters are awesome! They get some flak, but I don't get it at all. A lizard-human lesbian couple and a domesticated clone warrior? Where else can you go to see stuff like this?
I would recommend reading the whole interview to anyone who's interested. What she has to say about the television industry and the status of women there is a very nice read.
A body count is no good way to measure scariness. The Absorberloff and the Slitheen both killed more people on-screen than the Weeping Angels or the Silence, does that make them terrifying?
On the contrary, I feel like just killing a lot of extras is often a very cheap narrative device. Asylum was a whole lot scarier than Doomsday or Journey's End.
Considering that Asylum was the best Dalek ep since 2005, yup, that sounds quite good. Nice to know somebody has such inside knowledge.
@Undiscovered Adventure That's Osgood's job.
@SonicTheHedgehogRules The bookshelves are wonderful. They make it look a little more... organic.
@Sam Davern Spontanuous T-Rex combustion!
@Antee991166 @Gustaff @supermoff The world would be rubbish without Strax' comic remarks. He's the best comic relief ever.
@JordanXeros Does it look fan-made to you?
@John Smith the Second It will help to have quieter music in the background. I'm sure they have thought of their many non-British viewers.
That T-Rex looks awesome!
@Venawesomeo Well yes he was very alien, but he also had a very cuddly side to him, which I doubt Capaldi will show. The thing that bothers me is that the Moff and some other people have called 12 "more unpredictable" and you'd feel "less safe" with him. I mean, really... 11 literally lied to Clara big-time twice in his last episode.
@ Notsosmartguy the dalek of Jersey You mean the one with the flying shark?
@floppy_who It's the right time for Doctor Who anywhere. I still remember when they aired Hide during broad daylight. Didn't exactly make it scarier.
@ Notsosmartguy the dalek of Jersey @DavidSJH Especially Matt's first two specials were wonderfully christmassy and that's pretty much just what I want from Christmas TV. The fairytale tone of his early seasons fit it very well though, so I'm not quite sure if that would work as well now. I can't imagine Twelve in A Christmas Carol, doing all the growing up thing with the little boy.
Look at Game of Thrones, that's arguably the biggest show in the world right now and it is perfectly possible to discuss it online without being spoiled.
I would like to pose a question to people: Has anybody really been spoiled after the screening without wanting to? Because I don't think there are more than very very few. Honestly, it's not that hard to avoid spoilers on the internet. Potential spoilers don't equal guaranteed spoilers.
Also, it is quite obvious that this is just written from the perspective of a fan. Of course a fan who can't attend one of the screenings doesn't have a lot of benefits from the world tour. But from a marketing stand-point it makes an awful lot of sense. And "come to see the new Doctor Who episode before anybody else and ask the stars questions" sounds a lot better than just "ask the stars of Doctor Who questions", which in turn makes for bigger events, bigger publicity and bigger buzz around the world.
These people know what they're doing. Nobody is as careful about spoilers like Steven Moffat. And I don't think it would hurt this fandom if it just didn't try to find something to complain about for once.
All I want from this episode now is for the two plot elements "tyrannosaur" and "deadly spontaneous combustion" to come together in a CGI-festive manner.
@Creepy_Ghoul Your optimism I'd like to have. Honestly, if the guy refused to be in the 50th, he's not going to be in the 10th, that's for sure. Also, imagine what kind of message that would send to people: "Okay, I'm not going to be part of a celebration unless it's celebrating something that I started".
I realise how excited I am for this now, because I went completely bananas from that Dalek clip, even though it's just a Dalek and some tubes. But I luvvvit.
@TardisBoy Moffat said he asks RTD every year and he always declines.
Well, you can't compare being a little gruff to strangling a companion...
@ Notsosmartguy @supermoff @SephoraNeedSeries8 I'd say it's exactly one series too short. Even Matt himself has said that he should have stayed for one more year and I agree. But well, here's to Capaldi not making the same mistake.
Clara can never leave. NEVER.
@VictorWong1 @The Finn In the interview I remember, Moffat said the thought of Capaldi being 11 somehow didn't cross his mind because he couldn't imagine young romantic David Tennant turning into Peter Capaldi, but somehow with Smith, who always felt a lot older than he actually was, it was different.
@Amy is Hannibal Pretty sure it's just that Mark Williams was unavailable and now it really is over.
@Amy is Hannibal "There will be an exclusive 5-minute prequel scene preceding the
premiere, and a 10-minute "making of" documentary immediately following." Take from that what you will.
@DawnTime @Me and Stuff Pond Life is part of series 7, Night and the Doctor is all on series 6.
@DawnTime @Me and Stuff They're on the series 6 box.
One of my favourite Doctor Who stories of all time (yes, really) is the minisode "Good Night" that was part of the Night and the Doctor series. It's one of the sweetest and most beautiful little videos I have ever seen and it encapsulates the wonderfulness of Doctor Who like hardly anything else. I've also used it to quite good effect to show people what Doctor Who is - kind of.
And if scenes like Good Night or The Night of the Doctor can be told in so little time, it seems only like a natural thing to do so. I'm really excited what else is coming our way. We already know they're showing a Deep Breath prequel in cinemas, so let's see...
@LGwalchmai95 @Me and Stuff Maybe they could even get Eccleston. Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha. Sigh.
@SteviePenny Because the time slots are controlled by the BBC and the DW producers can't just make the episodes as long as they want. And because it allows to tell two stories instead of one.
@LGwalchmai95 I'm pretty sure Moffat almost flat-out said that he left those gaps for Big Finish.
@Oliver J. "cool" I just went back and checked. Series 5-7 had exactly 2 stories that
were set in modern-day London, both of them in series 7. Not enough to complain about, as far as I can see.
@MeglosProductions If you look at almost every other successful drama show right now, evidently not.
@ Notsosmartguy is superior again!!!!!!!!! @Night at the Whovies It's pretty much the norm for successful drama television these days. Doctor Who and crime shows are pretty much the only big shows that can still pull off the monster of the week approach. Even Fringe was one big story in its later seasons.
@ Notsosmartguy is superior again!!!!!!!!! @Me and Stuff @Whodman6 There's also the Orient Express in space, the spacesuits in Kill The Moon and we have no idea where Listen is set. Granted, 4 or 5 out of 11 isn't an awful lot, but it's more than RTD's first two seasons put together.
@Night at the Whovies There are still a lot of casual viewers. Maybe few than before, but on the other hand there are a lot more dedicated viewers as well.
@Whodman6 At least under the Moff we got away from all the Earth invasions. And he also brought out a lot more distant planets Series 7 was the only season of New Who to have a series opener or finale not set on Earth. But it's probably a budget thing. And still, there are lot of planets to expect in series 8...
@rilsonjoas10 Series 6 is my favourite Doctor Who season ever, but I trust the Moff that whatever he's doing is right for the show. I mean, if he thought it would be best to do another big arc season, he'd do that. And he knows best what will work for the series.

Whose spending plan is morally defensible?
Posted By DP Opinion On November 1, 2007 @ 1:07 am In Letters | 2 Comments
Let's assume for purposes of argument that the term "tax and spend" is a fair characterization of Democrats, as letter-writer David Sullivan claims (Oct. 30 letters to the editor). Then it is also true that "borrow and spend" is a fair characterization of Republicans. Which is more morally defensible? Pay as you go (with taxes)? Or expect someone else (like our children and grandchildren) to pay?

Grl 2 Grl is a book that has many short storys about teenage lesbian confusion. It is filled with coming out stories, first time adventures and much more. The first story I read in this book brought me to tears.. It make me seem like someone was writting about me. It made me feel like, i'm not alone out there. This book is filled with bi-curious stories, pure-lesbian fantases and just straghit out confusion. This book is not like much others. This book is a step out of the closet. It helps you come to a conclusion as to who you are. This is a must buy. Let me know what you guys think after you read it..
PS: Julie Anne Peters books are all exeptionaly amazing. ><
I thought this was a great book.
here's my review of it.... incase you haven't seen it.
I think we should post double reviews of stuff or triple or many of the same thing... so that we get more tehn one person's opinion.
~~~Fear is only a verb if you let it be.. don't you dare let go of my hand~~~
This book was downright amazing. Some stories had my feelings pinned down perfectly even though my feelings were never feelinsg of confusion over being a lesbian. Some stories were down right heart breaking, epsecially the one about the stone butch.
and I agree her books are amazing, there has only been one that I have had issues getting through. Luna was not like the others for some reason, but it was still a good book over all.

Canadian-based Yukon Blonde has announced the release of their Fire//Water EP on Dine Alone Records out October 11 in the around the world - except in Canada where its available Sept 20 via Nevado Records. Produced by Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Ladyhawk) the four song follow up to the quartet's Polaris and WCMA award nominated debut LP will be supported on an extensive North American fall tour including over 60 dates where fans can purchase a vinyl copy in either fire orange or water blue.
The signature hook-heavy arrangements and lush "ooh-wah" harmonies that earned Yukon Blonde critical nods for their self-titled 2009 debut have certainly soaked into their latest output, but this EP also marks a transition, foreshadowing an evolving sound for the band as they explore new territory in their songwriting and continue to grow as musicians. Written partially while on the road, and partially while off the road at a cottage in the Comox Valley (BC), the band recorded a total of 15 songs over the course of the summer, and the remaining 11 tracks will be featured on their sophomore LP to be released sometime in early 2012.
Yukon Blonde's career has so far been marked by their on-the-road ethic. Last fall they embarked on a 30+ date tour supporting Good Old War, as well as several headlining runs down each coast. This summer the young B.C. band played at Milwaukee Summerfest with Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and the last year and a half has seen them rack up nonstop tour mileage both in North America, and Europe, including festivals such as SXSW, CMJ and Popkomm Festival in Berlin along the way. Be sure to check them out live this fall as they are sure to be in a city near you.
Yukon Blonde is: Jeff Innes (Guitar, Vocals), Brandon Scott (Guitar, Vocals), Graham Jones (Drums, Vocals), Andy Bishop (Bass).

Carl Schuricht (1880-1967), who conducted many major orchestras all over the world but had no permanent post after the Second World War, is represented in this collection by repertoire ranging from J.C. Bach to Reger, all of it appearing here for the first time in any format.
Schuricht in a sense bridged the older generation of Romantic interpreters and the modem, objective style of conducting. His sense of balance derived from the old school, with a firm bass line and a typically layered sound. His fine ear resulted in allowing all important parts to be heard. Schuricht's tempo choices were generally on the quick side, and flexible as a rule. His rhetorical gestures were plentiful but rarely extreme, and always with a clear structural basis. The drama of Schuricht's performances resulted from the music itself, not from his podium manner. He was on one hand Felix Weingartner's heir, but undeniably also a product of the same time and culture that produced Abendroth, Furtwängler, and Knappertsbusch.
Schuricht's repertoire ranged from Bach and Handel right through to the Twentieth Century. In addition to composers mentioned above, he conducted contemporary works by Werner Egk, Gottfried von Einem, Frank Martin, Marcel Poot, Rudi Stephan, and a host of others. After the war, he was best known for his interpretations of Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Mozart, and Schumann. He would not however hesitate to program an occasional novelty in his later years, such as Alban Berg's Seven Early Songs.
This new set "features performances that are often
inspired and rarely less than fine"
-- Steve Holtje, CDNOW Senior Editor, Classical, March 2002
"I have always found in Schuricht's commercial recordings
impressive gifts in pacing, balance, and orchestral nuance; but the
level of fiery intensity in this collection of live performances brings
to light a Schuricht I'd never heard before, and one I'd very much like
to encounter again in the near future." Highly recommended
--Barry Brenesal, Fanfare, Mar./Apr. 2002
"Many commentators would rank Carl Schuricht a notch
or two beneath Furtwängler, and yet recent releases of little-known
broadcast recordings by Schuricht confirm a rostrum presence of comparable
individuality --mightily impressive. "
--Robert Cowan, Gramophone, Jan. 2002
"there's tremendous pleasure and enlightenment awaiting
--Dan Davis, La Folia Online Music Review, June 2002
"A rugged authority permeates Carl Schuricht's 1951
broadcast of Bruckner's 9th Symphony, with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony
Orchestra, a performance characterized by structural clarity and shattering
climaxes --Maggi Payne's restorations are very fine."
--Gary Galo, ARSC Journal, Spring 2002
"Virtually all of the repertory enjoys Schuricht's
lean, elastic approach; suave, pointed, but still capable of velocity
and sensuality, much in Weingartner mold and even more richly textured...
The range and energy of this distinguished artist consistently command
our attention."

HTC One mini officially announced: 4.3-inch screen, same 'UltraPixel' camera, lighter and cheaper
Posted By Enrique Manalang On July 19, 2013 @ 4:26 AM In Android,General Tech | No Comments
While HTC is rumored to be coming out with a bigger HTC One this September [2] to compete with the inevitable Galaxy Note III, this month it's all about the little guys. After numerous leaks, the company has officially announced the HTC One mini. It's a compact version of the HTC One with many of the same features, but when you're shrinking down your flagship phone, something has to give.
The HTC One mini's design is pretty much the same as its bigger brother, just at a smaller scale. Its screen is now 4.3-inches instead of 4.7-inches and its display resolution is now at 720p instead of 1080p. It might sound like a disappointing downgrade on the resolution front, but HTC going with this new screen size and resolution still gives it a respectable pixel density of 341ppi. The processor has also been scaled back to a dual-core Snapdragon 400 at 1.4GHz, while RAM has been bumped down to 1GB. NFC and image stabilization have also been removed.
With that said, the HTC One mini still has a lot of things going for it. Again, if you loved the design of the HTC One but wanted it in a smaller package, this phone should do the trick. The UltraPixel camera and front-facing BoomSound speakers are also present, as well as LTE connectivity.
Overall, the HTC One mini should be poised to succeed if it can be priced aggressively. And from the looks of it, that might be just the thing HTC is going for. The company says they'll be aiming for "two price points below the HTC One." Some carriers offer the HTC One at $100 on contract, so that might be a good sign for this phone and anyone who is interested.
The HTC One mini will be available in two colors at launch, silver and black. It's set to hit worldwide in August.

Below is a list of Autodesk Architecture training sessions. Click on the course title to see more details. We offer an extensive list of training classes, so please allow a few moments for long web pages to load when using "List View".
The objective of this course is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD. All topics, including features and commands, relate to both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT unless specifically noted otherwise in the class.
The strategy is to start with a few basic tools that enable the student to create and edit a simple drawing, and then continue to develop those tools. More advanced tools are also introduced throughout the class as we progress.
Topics in this class include:
Please call us at 800-578-2457 to register.
This class has been designed to teach the concepts and principles from building design through construction documentation using the Autodesk Revit Structure software. We will introduce the students to the software's basic building components that make the Autodesk Revit Structure software a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. Our goal is to familiarize you with the tools necessary to create, document, and print your parametric model. Examples and practices are designed to reflect as many different building types as possible. Topics include the following:
This course is a two class covering all of the modules for Navisworks Manage and Simulate.
The Autodesk® Navisworks® Essentials course instructs students in real-world approaches to the software that combine 3D geometry from cross disciplines into one scene to enable effective model collaboration. This hands-on, instructor led class, will help students acquire the knowledge required to create, aggregate and markup the model. In this class we will introduce the students to TimeLiner, Animator, Scripter, and Presenter, as well as the Clash Detective tools within Autodesk Navisworks Manage. Using Autodesk® Navisworks®, Simulate and Manage, students learn how to open, review, and run interference checks on 3D models with the Clash Detective. Students also learn how to link to task-scheduling files and create 4D construction simulations. Using the Animator and Scripter tools, students create interactive animations. In addition, students learn how the Presenter tools can help them create photorealistic images and animations.
Fundamental Topics:
o Create sections through a modelo Create, save and redline Viewpoints of a modelo Quarry information about object in the modelo Measure distances between objectso Utilize the free Navisworks Freedom model viewer
Revit Architecture is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way Architects think. From Preliminary Design through Design Development, and into Construction Documents, the program streamlines the design process with a central 3D model. Changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets. This course is designed to teach you the Revit functionality as you would work with it in the design process. You begin by learning about the user interface and the Revit commands for design development followed by those available for construction documentation. Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, Revit Architecture is a necessarily complex program. The objective of this course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This course focuses on basic tools that the majority of users need to work with Revit Architecture. The topics include the following:
We are excited to bring you this opportunity to explore new collaboration between BIM technology and field tools.
If you are using BIM, it's time to see how the gains in the office can be realized in the field. If you are considering a transition to BIM, it's a great time to explore the complete workflow from design including point layout in the 3D model, to receiving real time updates from the field.
Autodesk construction specialist, Brandon Lacourciere, will guide us through the best practices being used in the AEC industry today. Enjoy lunch while learning how to get the most out of your technology investment. And, see a robotic total station in action so you can evaluate the fit for your business and subcontractors.
Join us the 4th Tuesday of each month for a complimentary 1-hour Certification Exam Quick-Prep Session at 8:30 AM on Autocad or Revit.
You can then choose to take the Certified Professional exam the same day, or purchase the extended Autodesk training materials and schedule the exam at your convenience.
Receive a discount on all 2014 exams. Or, select from the 2015 exams at their regular price.
You CAN become an Autodesk Certified Professional.
Call us today to Register! 800-578-2457 Use the Kelar Pacific location code: AM0204
This course is designed for an MEP engineering professional who has needs to get up to speed quickly with the BIM solution provided by the Revit family of Products. In this 3 day class we will cover Revit Core Essentials on Day 1, including the setup process for linking consultants backgrounds and generating a layout that is required by the MEP team.

Van Persie to seal Manchester United move this week
Robin van Persie could be Manchester United player by the end of the week amid claims he is set to fly in from Arsenal's training camp in Germany to tie up a deal.
Manchester Evening News, who retain close links with United, have reported that the Premier League runners-up are increasingly confident a deal can be struck with a £20million deal mooted.
United have long been the bookmakers favourites to land the Dutch striker, who turns 29 on Sunday, and received a boost over the weekend after rivals Manchester City appeared to pull out of the race.
City boss Roberto Mancini, who had previously labelled van Persie a "perfect" addition to his squad, told the Italian press that is was "unlikely" last season's Premier League top scorer would be heading to the Etihad Stadium.
Fellow suitors Juventus are also said to have thrown in the towel after their imposed August 7 deadline passed without a deal being reached while they have been linked with a £15m bid for Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who confirmed his interest in van Persie last month, remained in Britain over the weekend while his United side flew to Norway to take on Valerenga in a pre-season friendly.
It has been widely reported that decision was borne out of the Scot's desire to seal a deal for PFA Player of the Year van Persie, as he looks to pair the Dutchman with Wayne Rooney in a potentially devastating forward line next season.
Van Persie, who was left out of Arsenal's pre-season tour of the Far East last month, did travel with the Gunners squad to Germany ahead of their match with FC Cologne on Sunday.
That has led some to suggest that he was considering a U-turn in his decision not to extend his contract at the Emirates Stadium with his current deal due to expire next summer.
United, as they always do with transfer speculation, have thus far refused to comment on the latest report, but it now seems that the van Persie saga will be brought to a conclusion in the coming days with United his likely destination.

Willpower functions similar to a muscle — it can be exhausted, and it can be strengthened depending on our actions. If you've done a poor job exercising willpower to work towards your goals for a long time, getting started can be an incredibly challenging task. Also, if you work at a job that you hate, chances are you're depleting your willpower almost daily, leaving little to do the things you really want to do. So…if we were to apply that to our work out goals, the best way to start regaining your willpower is to start with small chunks of ego-affirming activities that help build willpower over time. If you try to tackle huge goals all at once, you run the risk of fatiguing your willpower.
A lot of us are left scratching our heads asking ourselves why the hell we keep failing at these goals that we want to achieve so bad. Ego depletion does a lot to help explain why it can be so difficult to get into shape, why we fall out of the habit of going to the gym or cheat on our diets The good news is that the best way to overcome these issues is to start with a lot of very small steps, properly timed. You're going to achieve your fitness goals in two very predictable very well-known ways: by taking control of what you eat and by getting exercise.
Diet plays overwhelmingly the largest role in this entire process, and it will inform everything else. The very first step you need to take is to start getting into the habit of knowing how many calories are in the food you eat. Also, discard most of the dietary rumors you've been told. Scientific evidence suggests that when it comes to weight gain, it doesn't matter when you eat, how long you go between eating or the carbs or fat or sugar or any other content that is in the food. There are exceptions here and there, but "How many" calories you consume is, for all intents and purposes, the bottom line.
The next step is to find out what your baseline is. Go online and do a quick assessment to gauge how many calories you burn in a given day just by being alive. This will vary based on your height, current weight, and how active you are. Once you know that number, you can start to make decisions based on it. For those of you who don't know, there are approximately 3,500 calories in a pound of fat. So… if you want to lose a pound per week, you would have to create a 500 calorie deficit each day.
Your goal now is going to be to establish dietary habits based on when you're most likely to be able to make good decisions. So for instance, for me personally, I'm often less likely to keep my dietary commitments for dinner. This is probably going to be true for a lot of you out there, especially all you nine-to-fivers. If it is, what you're going to want to do is try to make the best possible food decisions for breakfast and for lunch each day, knowing that when you get home, you're free to eat pretty much whatever you would like. Aim to hit less than 50% of your caloric budget for the day during what you have assessed to be your high-willpower times of the day, knowing that you still have plenty of room for the times of the day when you know you're more likely to cheat.
Exercise isn't as huge of a calorie-burner as a lot of us might think. Many of us like to kid ourselves by assuming that we can atone for our dietary sins of the day by planning to work out extra hard to make up for it. This is a mistake for two reasons. For example… to make up for a really savory meal of a cheeseburger, fries and a soda, which could easily add up to 1,600 calories, you would have to run for two hours and after such a huge meal your body will be in a food coma and not be very willing to run at all. So aim to eat as light as you can during the day and work out in small, manageable chunks throughout the day. Your goal should be to do enough to get out of breath each time. Elevating your heart rate in this way will do a few really amazing things. Eventually… you'll notice that you'll have far more energy throughout the day. You'll stop hitting that terrible wall at around 3 p.m. You'll also be a lot sharper mentally. I'm not making that up — studies have shown that even moderate intensity exercise increases working memory and self-reported mood. Best of all, though? By peaking your physical activity in small chunks throughout the day, you'll receive the benefits of the effects all day long. The calories you burn doing this activity might be relatively low at first, but the most important part is that you are flexing your willpower muscle in small chunks and building a positive habit.
If you find yourself slipping, don't beat yourself up over it, and don't be afraid to move the goalposts a little closer if you're having trouble working up the willpower to keep with it.

With gas prices exceeding $4 per gallon throughout the country, Senate Democrats are fighting to make sure that taxpayers trying to fill their tanks are getting a fairer shake -- instead of also subsidizing the oil companies raking in record profits from the high prices. This week, the Senate is poised to vote on a measure that would eliminate $21 billion in tax breaks over 10 years for major oil and gas companies.
The Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes Act would close loopholes enjoyed by multi-billion dollar energy companies like Chevron, ConocoPhilips, Exxon Mobil, and U.S. subsidiaries of BP and Shell. In the first quarter of 2011 alone, these companies reaped $36 billion in profits, money that comes straight from the pocketbooks of American families –in the form of high gas prices, and in the form of tax subsidies.
Neither President Obama nor congressional Democrats believe that ending this tax break will solve America's energy problems or immediately lower gas prices on its own. That's why the President put forward a plan for our country's energy future, aiming to reduce oil imports by a third by 2025, increase domestic production right away, and invest in a long term clean-energy economy.
In a time when the public and policymakers are focused on rebuilding our economy while living within our means, American families expect the government to spend their tax dollar prudently. And tax breaks for hugely profitable oil companies is anything but prudent.
The Senate is expected to vote on this measure as early as today. Please check back for further updates.
Also, you can learn more about President Obama's energy plan by reading the Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future.

British Couples Flee To a Marriage Mecca
Since 1754, a Scottish village has been 'Las Vegas' to youngsters eager to wed
Alison Quigley, inside her modest office, is braced to receive the day's first wave of star-struck lovers. As registrar in this Scottish village (pop: 3,149), half a mile across the border with England, she and her assistants perform well over 4,000 marriage ceremonies each year.
"A lot of them are runaways, and I always feel like asking, 'Why don't you tell your mother?' " Ms. Quigley says. "But I never do."
An hour later, her office is crowded with couples waiting to be wed. Others, already married, head out through the swinging doors where the first thing they see is a fish-and-chip shop on the other side of the street.
Tying the knot over an anvil
For impulsive English youngsters, Gretna Green is the equivalent of the White Chapel in Las Vegas, Nev. Couples have been arriving here since 1754, when Parliament in London decided that no one under 21 could get married without parental consent.
The English legislators forgot that Scotland had its own marriage law, allowing couples age 16 or over to declare themselves husband and wife in front of witnesses. Gretna Green was first stop in Scotland on the stagecoach route from England, and the local blacksmith had a brilliant idea: He began offering to marry eloping couples.
With a single bang of a hammer on his anvil he converted starry-eyed teenagers into couples no one could put asunder. The news quickly spread, and Gretna Green soon became a destination for runaway young English couples.
"Some couples still elect to marry over the anvil," says Alistair Houston, whose family owns the building where the first marriages took place. "But nowadays a clergyman must perform the ceremony. We still have the anvil, but the blacksmith is long gone." English and Scottish marriage laws have now been harmonized, he explains, and there is no reason for couples to wed in Gretna Green. "But the romance of this place keeps them coming, even though most settle for a registry office or church wedding," he adds.

Paradise Fan fiction Article
Paradise; Chapter2: Kyrios
"I'm a wolf, an outsider, hated and feared; I belong nowhere, nowhere, except Paradise"(K5-HOWL)
Before you assume that, I am a Wolf well I am not. Do not be disappointed though you will get your wolves in my story and much more. I guess my introduction is over playing itself but don't worry it's only a little bit longer I lived in the small-rebuilt town on Kyrios. Yes, I said Kyrios, now then who remembers Kyrios. Anyone? Well then, burned to the ground many a years ago Kyrios was by Jaguara's troops. See now they were hunting down a pack of wolves, and sadly, the only survivors were Quent and his dog Blue. With raging hatred, they hunted down wolves until the end of the earth. Oh, trust me there is more to their story but that is in another time, in another story. Well so, Kyrios soon flourished with life once again yet no one will ever forget what took place here even if it is assumed a fantasy. Paradise, a fantasy? Humph, what do they know anyway? |

Reports » US
US stock market, economy and companies update (April 10, 2014)
- There was choppy equity market trading through the overnight hours in Europe and in the US premarket. However stocks are sliding lower after an hour and a half of cash trading as the benchmark yield creeps lower and the dollar weakens. Brutal selloffs among the big and small tech momentum names are hammering the Nasdaq. As of writing, the DJIA is down 0.38%, the S&P500 is down 0.41% and the Nasdaq is down 1.48%.
- Natural gas is up nearly 3% this morning after the weekly EIA inventories report, back at levels seen in the late February cold snap. The gain in inventories were the first build in 2014, however the gain was much weaker than expected.
- US weekly initial jobless claims hit 300K, a seven-year low, while the four-week moving average for new claims dropped to 316K. Import prices increased 0.6% m/m in March after rising 0.9% in February, topping expectations thanks to a big jump in food prices. Note that the annualized data was negative, supporting the continued weak outlook for inflation.
- Chevron is down 1% after warning in its interim first quarter update that earnings would be lower than fourth quarter as a result of adverse FX effects and selected asset impairment charges. Absent these impacts, Chevron said earnings would be comparable with the prior quarter's results.
- Ebay reached a deal with Carl Icahn to end his proxy battle. In exchange for appointing Icahn's man to the board (he originally wanted two), Icahn has agreed to withdraw his PayPal spinoff proposal and will sign a confidentiality agreement, ensuring that further conversations about enhancing shareholder value stay private. Ebay's CEO observed that the proxy battle was not helping shareholders or innovation, while Icahn called the deal a "win-win."
- BlackBerry's CEO said the company would consider exiting its handset business if it remains unprofitable, adding that the time frame for such a decision was short. He also said it should be possible for BlackBerry to make money off shipments of as few as 10 million a year. He said the company was on track to be cash-flow positive by the end of the current FY and to return to profit next FY. BBRY is down 2.3%.
- March same-store sales were mostly in the red, as continuing bad weather kept consumers at home, although the declines were generally not as bad as projected by consensus expectations. Most major retail stocks are losing ground. As usual, the big outlier was Costco, where a healthy +6% comp beat expectations. In earnings, discount retailer Family Dollar missed top- and bottom-line expectations, cut its FY14 outlook and warned it would lower prices on a wide range of items. FDO trading has been volatile post earnings. Best Buy remains near its post-earnings low, down 6%.
- Pawn shop name Cash America is up more than 9% this morning after hiking its first quarter guidance much higher. The company said results were above expectations due primarily to lower loan losses in the online consumer loan portfolio, greater retail sales net proceeds and better operating efficiencies. EZPW is up 1% in sympathy.
