text: I am looking for Cheats of a popular game called Burnout Paradise. the game is about a vehicle racing in a city. I had cleared many levels but not able to end up soon. The Burnout series has always been the best racing game for arcade gamers. It is fast, exciting and with real crashes. Unlike the previous Burnout's, there is Burnout Paradise for only a selectable range and this goes by the name 'Paradise City'. With some 70 hot carts you have to cope with up to 120 different lights special challenges to conquer Paradise City. Most of the time you are so busy to take part in races. It will be great if anyone can post some cheats for the same. Thanks in advance.

There's a new way to keep that new laptop smell with you forever and it'll only cost you $1,199 bucks.
Australian artists have recreated the scent of a newly opened Macbook.{}The fragrance is called{}De facto Standard.
Brett Molina of USA Today writes in an article that the three artists were planning an art exhibit and came up with the idea for the scent. They reached out to an Australia-based company, Air Aroma, who manufactured the smell.
"The scent ... encompasses the smell of the plastic wrap covering the box, printed ink on the cardboard, the smell of paper and plastic components within the box and of course the aluminum laptop which has come straight from the factory where it was assembled in China," says Alex Cosic of Air Aroma in the post on the company's blog.
To enjoy the scent, you're going to have to buy a MacBook Pro, which retails at $1,1999, as De facto Standard is not for sale.{}

Memorial Day weekend marks safe home garden planting time
The time to plant warm-weather vegetables finally has arrived.
You've gotten the lime applied according to your soil test results. You did take a soil test, didn't you? Anyway, the lime is worked into the soil. You've added the compost, manure and any additional fertilizer if needed. Now you are ready to put those beautiful transplants into the soil. You've grown or selected plants that have a nice green color, not yellow. They are not over-mature and root bound. They are relatively stocky with a thick stem. They have been gently acclimated to outside conditions.
Be sure to give your plants plenty of room in the garden. Think about how much space they will take up when fully grown. It is better to have fewer plants and take good care of them than to place too many plants in a small area and form a jungle where insects and disease can thrive.
Most warm-season vegetable will tolerate cool nights.
The vegetable that is most sensitive to cool temperatures is the green pepper. Be ready to cover sensitive plants when the forecast calls for temperatures in the 40s. Plastic is a poor choice for protecting plants from cool temperatures.
Tomato plants should be planted to the depth of the seedling leaves. Tomatoes will sprout roots from the portion of the stem that is underground. Most vegetables will not do that. For example, plant peppers only deep enough to cover the root ball with an inch or less of soil. Water them well to "melt" the soil in and around the root ball. A very small amount of a soluble fertilizer that is high in phosphorus will help your vegetables get off to a good start.

The newest reality television show is in some ways like any other: mother and daughters, sibling rivalry, family gossip and talk of Big Grandpa, who is very strict but loves it when his great-grandchildren are around making a racket. But that's where the twist comes in: Big Grandpa is Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid legend.
"Being Mandela," a new series premiering on Sunday on COZI TV, invites U.S. audiences into the lives of Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and Swati Dlamini, the fashionable, 30-something granddaughters of Mandela and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. The 94-year-old former South African president, who recently was treated for a lung infection and had surgery to remove gallstones, does not appear in the series but his controversial ex-wife - "Big Mommy" to her grandchildren - does and seems to relish it.

Is this a good thing? Doesn't this just create a vacuum to be filled with Islamic Fascists only concerned with invading Israel? I'm guessing, 10-15 years from now, if Egyptian government is replaced with a Muslim leader, we will see another conflict [Egypt] with Israel. The guy might have been a little corrupt with money, and he might have oppressed political rivals to remain in power, but he worked diligently for peace in the Middle East, wiped out their debt and, for the last ten years, the Egyptian economy has been rising. I think this is kind of dark moment in their history, but what do you think?
The reason is that when heartless says something stupid, he really means it and believes it.
They refer to me as an uneducated barbarian. Yes, we are barbarians. We want to be barbarians, it is an honored title to us. We shall rejuvenate the world. This world is near its end.

These cool woodland animals are always a treat to see, but people will certainly be taken aback and confused when they expect to see a moose and see you instead. The Moose Mascot Costume comes with a faux fur jumpsuit that features a white spot on the torso, attached shoe covers that are shaped like hooves, and gloves that are also shaped like hooves. The character mask is a full headpiece that features an open mouth, ears, and attached horns. This costume is made of a strong and durable material that will stand up to years of acrobatics and wear. You'll love entertaining lots of people while wearing it. Drop by the accessories page and consider picking up a prop or an item that will help you stay cool while wearing this costume.

I have Windows Vista Basic and all of a sudden one day the desktop
background would not let me put any wallpaper on it.
It would only let me choose solid colors....I've searched high and low on
the internet on how to fix this problem but keep running into dead ends.
When I go on the internet and select an image as my background it works fine
until I have to start my computer up again then it reverts back to a solid
background color. When I go into my pictures on my computer it will not let
me choose them as a background. It stays on the solid background color.
I'm really fed up with not being able to select a wallpaper and not having
it stay on my desktop. I've tried restoring to my last back up point and it
still does not change...it only stays solid.
Is there anything that I can download to fix this problem? What may have
caused this problem?

Vintage West Bend KWIK DRIP Aluminum 15 cup Coffee Pot
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Furniture & Furnishings
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Mar 17, 2008
- Channel: Auction House
Vintage West Bend KWIK DRIP Aluminum 15 cup Coffee Pot Vintage West Bend Kwik Drip Art Deco Shaped Coffee Pot
15 cup drip coffee pot stands 15" tall. Place the upper pot atop the lower pot, coffee grounds go in to the top pot, then secure the special filter section and pour boiling water in the top. Once the water has dripped through the grounds and then the metal perforations, pull off the top pot and place the lid on the top. Pronto! A nice round deco shaped pot with a terrific pouring slot for a spout. It makes great coffee with no paper filter taste! Fun serving piece, terrific on display too!
It's condition is quite good, a predictable amount of fine scratches, a bit of darkness inside the coffee pot...I gave this pot a good wash before I photographed it, and it was quite clean before that. It would seem that one more cleaning would make this perfect for use...and a bit of polishing would make it a show-piece.

I don't love these boots nearly as much as I wanted to. I fawned over them online for months, but when I actually recieved them I was disappointed. They're not really a true black; they look faded. Another thing that I was surprised by was that they're very tight on the legs; they don't flare out like the Bailey Buttons do. I held onto them, hoping they would grow on me. Unfortunately, that didn't work out. On the back, above the top bow, the sides started to flop down, similar to the problems people have with the Bailey Button. Not cute, unfortunately. On the bright side, they're incredibly soft and warm. Being from Minnesota, warm is essential. They're well put together,and the quality of the fur is exceptional.

Don't judge a book by its cover
By Sswan_md
from NY, NY
9 years ago I was offered by my husband an option to get Ugg's as a gift I was dead set against wearing a shoe that looked so boring, in fact ugly looking. I was told by a good friend you have to try them at least once in your life and so I caved in and I can honestly say it has the most comfortable shoe ever it's like wearing slippers every where. I already have in the works other styles I would like to buy.I fell in love and will never look back.I'm just sad I didn't jump on board from the beginning. Ugg's are like Hugs for your feet.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have a hole on the front side of one boot and some of the stitching is coming apart on the boots, but I wear them a lot. My color faded but i never protected them so idk if that was a factor in the color fading, plus most black suede fades over time and i got these about 3 years ago.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Maddy Good Choice My cats love this food. I'm happy that it doesn't have any by products and is made in the US. December 15, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by jancat Never again. I tried this based on the 2 positive reviews. The product ingredients are good, the food looks good with a good consistency (not too gummy or watery). I know I have picky cats, but they NEVER eat this. See my picture below of their opinion of this food. The food in the picture was put out before I left in the morning, and that is what I come home to 9 hours later. The only way I can even get them to try this is putting the appetite stimulant on top and then they will eat some of it but not all. They cover this one if you know what I mean. March 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Catrescuer1 Cats love it My personal and foster cats love the chicken variety, so I decided to try the turkey variety. They loved it even more. Every bowl was clean; even my cat who doesn't really like wet food loved it. March 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cocoabear Healthy food My eighteen year old cat eats this daily. This turkey canned in the morning and a Precise dry in the evening for a snack. She has stayed healthy on this well balanced food. And, never a recall!! December 19, 2014

Lime Pie With Gingersnap Crust
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 40 mins
From The Magnolia Bakery cookbook
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1⁄2 cups gingersnap crumbs, from cookies blitzed in the food processor
- 21 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- Crust: Turn on the oven to 325°F.
- In a bowl, combine the butter and cookie crumbs until evenly coated. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Press it harder. Go back again and press the whole bit harder against the sides and bottom of the plate. Slide it into the oven. Bake for 10 minutes. Go zest and squeeze your limes (not a metaphor). Once the crust is done, take it out and cool it on a rack for 10 minutes.
- Filling: In the bowl of your electric mixer, throw in the milk, yolks, and lime juice. Turn on low until its all mixed together. Add the zest and turn on low until you see the flecks throughout the mixture.
- Pour the filling into the crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes. You're looking for a solid center with no wiggle.
- Cool the pie down a bit, between another 20-30 minutes. Then throw it in the refrigerator for 2 hours at least.
- Serve with unsweetened whipped cream and a slice of lime zest if you're feeling fancy.

Wonderful, and easy recipe, I didn't use the ginger base though (personal preference). Made for Au/NZ swap 51 (April 2011)
A very refreshing, satisfying dessert, & I thought the gingersnap crust was a nice change from one made with graham crackers! Definitely something I'll make again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

Neti pot helped, but when I went out biking, I nearly drowned in excessive phlegm. Not sure how well this biking to work plan is going to go anymore. I also only made it about halfway before I had to stop, for fear of puking. Hills are hard, man, and none of these are that big!
Guess I'll get back out there tomorrow =\. I'm not too keen on practicing the bike to work on days that I actually have to work, but I need to start doing this ASAP because the Mustang isn't ready (don't have the $$ to spare for a radiator) and Hulky's work schedule is changing so he won't be able to carpool. At least I still have the scooter, but the inspection sticker is about 2 years old now ><. I forgot to get it inspected last year.

Egypt's stock market and ETF crashed Monday following days of violent protests across the country against President Mohammed Morsi's move to give himself sweeping new powers.
In afternoon trade, Market Vectors Egypt Index ETF (EGPT) — the only ETF tracking that country solely — gapped down 8.09% to 12.95, a four-month low. It was the ETF's largest one-day plunge in more than a year.
EGPT broke below the key 200-day moving average for the first time in five months, a very bearish development. Trading tends to become more volatile when a stock or ETF breaks below the 200-day line. The biggest intraday swings and upside and downside moves often occur under that line.
EGPT's fortunes appear to have turned.It had been one of the top-returning ETFs of the year, rallying 48.94% year to date through Nov. 23. By contrast, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM) returned 11.09% over the same period, according to Morningstar. IShares MSCI EAFE Index (EFA), which tracks developed foreign markets, rose 12.75%.
"How this power grab plays out will determine whether the Egyptian market rebounds to be the top global performer this year or in the top five," Wojtek Zarzycki wrote in an email. He is the chief investment officer of Optimal Investing in Toronto and New York, with $150 million in assets under management.
"The sell-off is showing some oversold conditions so today's snapback (from its intraday low) could be the start of a small rally," Zarzycki wrote. "However, we need a few days of positive returns to confirm."
S&P Capital IQ rated the country negatively in a report released Aug. 31.
"The negative outlook reflects our view that we could lower the ratings if political or social tensions were to escalate again," said Trevor Cullinan, a Dubai-based analyst for S&P Capital IQ. "Moreover, the willingness of international donors/lenders to extend much-needed support could weaken if the Egyptian authorities are unable to effectively address ongoing economic, fiscal, and external challenges.
"Conversely, if Egypt's political transition strengthens the social contract and if external pressures ease – an indication of which would be an increase in net international reserves – we could revise the outlook to stable."
PowerShares MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio (PMNA), with a 20% weighting in Egyptian stocks, tumbled 3.01% to 10.54. It also broke below the key 200-day line . PMNA invests in Morocco, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Jonathan Citrin, founder and CEO of CitrinGroup, a Birmingham, Mich., firm with $60 million in assets under management, advises investors to steer clear of investing in Egypt and the Middle East. He expects those markets to be very volatile because of all the conflicts in the region, including those in Israel, Gaza and Syria. There's no telling what impact the upheavals will have on businesses and foreign investments yet.

A few problems I have encountered:
I'm stuck on the story line after I encountered the Ho-Oh lookalike in the Well of Origin. I can't fly first of all, I get a blue screen. (Yes, before the map glitched and I flew to the 10 markers on Kindle Road into a 2x2 mound. Then I flew from there to Three Island and it took me back to some Dumbari or something town. From there, no more flying.)
Second, I tried running around the whole region. At the Origin Well area, I couldn't find anymore cities, so I ran up a bit into the forest where the Team Rocketesque people are, they wouldn't let me in. Then I went to Nile City and surfed across to Byrn (or something), as apparently that was the last gym I needed. Door said the leader was out.
What do?

Dilemma: Pragmatism versus idealism
Understanding the current reality
1. What are the ideas of fair play in sports?
a) What principles and/or value lie behind the ideals of fair play?
'Fair play' is usually understood to mean using only tactics that are in accord with the spirit of the sport.
In ethics, the concept of fairness involves treating everyone equally and impartially. It is complex notion that comprises and embodies a number of values that are fundamental not only to sport but also to everyday life. Fair play is not a theory. Fair play is an attitude that manifests itself in behaviour. Whenever we act in the spirit of fair play we contribute to building a peaceful and better world. The following values which are the building blocks of fair play can easily be expressed in the interactions of everyday life.
Respect, friendship, team spirit, fair competition, sport without doping, respect for written and unwritten rules such as equality, integrity, solidarity, tolerance, care, excellence and joy, are the building blocks of fair play that can be experienced and learnt both on and off the field.
b) Refer to the Olympic Code at Olympic.org Do you think the Olympic Code embodies fair play?
* To encourage and support the promotion of ethics in sport as well as education of youth through sport and to dedicate its efforts to ensuring that, in sport, the spirit of fair play prevails and violence is banned; * To encourage and support the organisation, development and coordination of sport and sports competitions; * To ensure the regular celebration of the Olympic Games; * To cooperate with the competent public or private organisations and authorities in the endeavour to place sport at the service of humanity and thereby to promote peace; * To take action in order to strengthen the unity and to protect the independence of the Olympic Movement; * To act against any form of...

"Enjoy Jakarta" Top 5 Page for this destination Jakarta by black_mimi99
Jakarta Travel Guide: 1,351 reviews and 2,714 photos
I truly love Jakarta with all its hustle and bustle. The variety of shopping, exciting nightlife, superb golf courses, relaxing spas and huge selection of dining experiences makes visiting a truly exciting and different experience, full of constant surprises. Visiting the old town with all its significant historical sights is an experience not to be missed. Not to forget the world class hotels with fine dining and a vibrant music scene. With so much to see and do I would be filled with pride for you to come and enjoy Jakarta as much as I do. Enjoy our welcome, enjoy our hospitality, enjoy a different type of shopping, enjoy exotic tastes and enjoy the place I choose to call home – Jakarta.
Jayakarta re-named by Sultan Fatahillah mean Glorious Victory. The Dutch East Indies Company which captured the town and destroyed it in 1619, changed its name into Batavia and made it the center for expansion of their power in East Indies. When the world war II, Japanese changed the name into Jakarta.
And now Jakarta become megapolitan city as the Indonesia capital city. Where the city with many faces and colourful of culture. And the city where I ever lived...:)
One thing I like from Jakarta is shopping in Kota ( there are several mall which is Pasar Pagi, ITC, Mangga Dua Mall). Kota is located North Jakarta, it was center of the 17th century Dutch town Batavia.
From Blok M (south Jakarta) we can take TransJakarta / Busway, that's more easier and convenient to reach to Kota. The end station of the TransJakarta is Kota station beside Beos train station, which established in XVII century.
In Pasar Pagi, ITC, and Mangga Dua Mall, we can buy anything we like at bargain prices. And you can improve your bargain skill....:)
And from Kota we can took Ojek Sepeda (Bicycle Transportation), to go to Glodok (China Town) center stage electronics. With this ojek sepeda it's an amazing experience for me 'cos they will take you go through the crowded main road and small street until arrive in Glodok.
Try it once and you will love it!!
This old City Hall of Batavia occupies the site of its two predecessors. The current building of fine Dutch architecture was completed in 1710 and once served many civic and judiciary functions. Beneath the front portico lie some cells which were used as dungeons. The museum took over the premises in 1974 and offers a fine glimpse into the city's colonial past. Thirty-seven ornate rooms display Dutch furniture, old maps, antiquities and Dutch East India Company (V.O.C.) memorabilia, recreating the atmosphere prevalent during the Dutch era.
- Pros:Enjoy the Shopping, Food, Nightlife, and Good Price...
- Cons:Traffic Jam, traffic jam and traffic jam again.....:) just enjoy it..
- In a nutshell:City with 1001 faces...

Before working at Lion Brand, I only had limited experiences with handknit items. A friend of mine knit me a beautiful ribbed red scarf when I was in college, (It wasn't until working at Lion Brand that I realized that the yarn used was Wool-Ease Thick & Quick) and later in college, my girlfriend knit me a scarf with Homespun. I kept thinking about how beautiful and amazing hand-knit pieces were, but could never wrap my head around the idea that two long cylindrical objects (needles) could take a piece of yarn and create something wearable. It was a task that I considered far too difficult for my clumsy, maladroit hands.
Not two weeks into working at Lion Brand, however, I noticed the incredible knitting and crocheting culture here. From Zontee (of the YarnCraft podcast) to Jackie and Karen (of the Design Department), I had a number of people telling me that knitting wasn't nearly as hard as I thought. So one day after work, I sat down with Zontee and was ready to learn. She taught me how to cast on and how to knit. That night I knit a number of rows, and came back to work ready for something new.
After work that next day, Zontee was ready to teach me how to purl. A few rows later, I was knitting a stockinette stitch, and was excited to start my first real project. Looking for a fairly simple project that could help me hone my newly found knitting and purling abilities, the people in our Design Department found a great, easy 2 and 1/2 Hour Scarf for me to complete. This would be a little bit more complex, and used three strands weaved in as one, but was an exciting first project. The first day I was ready to choose my yarn. With the expertise of our creative director, Karen, I picked out three beautiful colors of Vanna's Choice, and I was ready to go. Once again, Zontee helped me cast on and watched me knit my first few rows.
For the next few days, I could be found at home, on the train and after work working on this scarf. This was during NFL playoffs as well, so I was knitting while watching the Giants play – something that I would have never anticipated. The first few rows started off a little shaky (as you can see on the left side of the scarf), but after that, it was four and a half feet of pretty smooth sailing. When I got into trouble toward the end, Zontee also helped me to fix a stitch I'd dropped.
Truthfully, it was fun, exciting and really not as hard as I'd originally imagined. Though the "2 and 1/2 hour" label given to me probably did not take into account the fact that I had knitting growing pains, it still was a fairly quick project to do. With a little bit of help from everyone here, I now have a scarf that I'm proud to say I knit! I'll admit though, it's easier to knit a beautiful scarf when you're surrounded by fantastic knitters.

We were recently contacted by a blogger from Spain named Ariel, who authored a post about how to knit (como tejer in Spanish) over 2 years ago. Since he thought our own learn-to-knit instructions were very useful, he linked back to our website as a graphical resource that he found and used for these instructions, which are also available in Spanish.

Knitting and crocheting are not simply hobbies for relaxation, can be very useful to kick habits like smoking as well! Chapel Hill News chronicled Riva Econopouly, a woman who put down her cigarettes for knitting needles, and has been smoke-free ever since. This is an incredible story of a woman who used to smoke up to three packs a day, but thanks to her knitting needles, was able to kick the habit. In fact, About.com's guide to quitting smoking suggests picking up portable hobbies such as crocheting or knitting to control the urge. Rocky Mountain News wrote that even teenagers are knitting to get rid of their nicotine dependence.
If you have any stories about how crafting helped someone quit smoking, we'd love to hear about it. Send us your comments.

Male knitters are popping up more and more these days. It's exciting to see boundaries being changed and people are being more open-minded about crafts. There's a wonderful article at Greatreporter.com that looks at males in the knitting community. We also had an episode of YarnCraft featuring Men Who Knit & Crochet. As a male knitter myself, I got odd looks from subway passengers while knitting a scarf on my way to work. But it's great to see that the number of males crafting is on the rise — one of the readers of the blog, Robert is working on the Tree of Life pattern right now, in fact. Also, one of my good friends, who's a world-class rock climber was one of the last people I'd have expected to crochet, but he's made some incredible things.
Are you a male knitter or crocheter? Speak up by commenting on this post and introducing yourself!

How far would you go to remember your beloved pets? Some people create elaborate memorials to best give tribute to their best companions. One married couple in England took it one step further, by knitting their pets' fur into garments. The Cleveland Plain Dealer had readers email their local Dog Lady about the practice with comments. The English couple who had knit their two pets into jumpers had heard about the process through their dog breeders, and now have keepsakes of their best two companions.
Even Martha Stewart creates items out of her dog Paw Paw. In a segment of her February 14 show, she showed the care she takes of her dog, and how she is interested in knitting a keepsake using a skein of Paw Paw's fur yarn. She personally uses a local company VIP Fibers to spin the fur.
What do you think about this process? Have any of you tried using your dogs' or pets' fur to create a keepsake?

No Internet access as promised.
Room was very clean, and although the building is older, they have done a great job keeping uptodate. Location is perfect, right in the middle of everything!
My fiancée and I really enjoyed our stay. We loved the amazing river view from our 4th floor room, and the location of the hotel is really convenient as well. The room was super nice, and clean, and the bed was super comfy. The fire pit was a nice way to unwind, as were the pool and hot tub. Nice size pool. The staff was always helpful and courteous, and they lock the main doors at night for extra security. I'd definitely stay again!
It would be nice if the pool was open for adult swim only at some point in the evening.
I liked the friendly staff -especially Lorelei. She gave great attention to my needs and also was very informative. I like the room a lot. Spacious King Room with all the extras. Great touches everywhere. Keurig coffee maker!! Nice job. Overall awesome.
What I didn't like was the bed was a bit worn. I prefer a solid firm mattress but it did give me a good nights sleep. Also, breakfast could've used a bit more protein variety. Lastly, though I like all the little nuances and touches, I wish they had not included the shampoo and soap dispenser at the showers..it kinda took away the ambience of a really good looking room. Finally on that note, house the microwave and good size refrigerator appropriately.. Having the Keurig coffee maker was excellent but sitting on top of the micro and the micro on the refrigerator took some points away from the awesome look and feel of the room.
The view
WiFi broken. Pepsi machine broken. No water pressure in shower. Manager was abrupt and snotty
The staff was so friendly, and free snackcakes -- whaaaaaaa?! Also, I didn't use it, but they have DVDs in the office you can borrow. But you won't need to because the ocean is like 300 yds away. So good, I had to review.
Great location, super staff and a lot of perks. For instance beach towels, blankets, carts, movies, games, all free of charge.
If I picked on one thing it's the bathroom space. You could hardly get the door past the toilet. All the furnishings are older but well taken care of.
Super friendly staff! Pet friendly and a good price!
A little far from down town
The staff was exceptional, pretty clean
So uncomfortable and not any amenities for cost

Turning Molehills into Mountains..
Monday, February 11, 2013
I'm really letting little small things I got going on allowing me to punk out on my weight loss goals. I am, for real.
Minor problem#1 - I decided to change departments at my job, which now means I will be in training for 4 more weeks. This also means I may or may not work 6 days a week because my old department still needs me to cover some slack that's left over from the regular work week. Mo' money, but my energy level is gone.
Minor problem#2 - I decided to try to go relaxer free for the umpteenth time in this millennium. No real reason NOT to work out, but I have allowed the process to stress me out because I will not be at the maximum level of attractiveness at one point in this journey. (LOL..shallow as hell, but it's the truth)
Minor issue #3 - The leg pain that is now officially gone, but I'm scared it's going to come back. I told myself that I would rest the leg for one good week after the pain magically disappeared then I would utilize the gym membership I paid up for a year. What did I do instead? I got my money back and ordered a Kindle Fire instead. Ain't so much as walked to the corner to pick up my mail. (sigh)
Minor problem #4 - Now this may be a good thing, but the scale is not moving. And I know we all hit a plateau even if I'm no where near my goal weight, but I'm just not feeling this no movement of the needle action.
So.. I said all of that to say this. I was really contemplating giving up on the weight loss thing for the next four weeks and start fresh when I settle into my new job and shift (with sucky hours..but that's neither here nor there). The only reason I'm fighting myself to stick with the healthy eating part, at least, is the guilt and dismay I would feel if I didn't.
I'm still pushing...not as hard as I should...but I'm trying.

Round up enough of the 'small things' and you can feel like you're carrying around a mountain. Don't let that change your focus. You'll need it more now. Instead change how you view your workouts. It can be difficult to cut out 1 hr to exercise, if that is your goal, but just as the small non-motivating items add up, so can 'small' motivating ones. 10 mins in the morning + 10 mins at lunch + 10 mins in the evening and you already have 30 mins under your belt. Decide what you want to do for the 10 mins and just think, the time will not only help you physically in all kinds of ways but give you mind 10 mins of downtime from your work -- rejuvenating your body, mind and spirit and guilt-free!

No Excuses...keep at it. It's a lifestyle change and with that "life changes" and we have to be ready to change with it. Easier said than done, but it's a process. Your life is changing but you can't give in to those changes. You just need to make some adjustments. You don't want to wait 4 weeks and find that you've gained weight while life was adjusting do you? Perhaps make a schedule of things you need to get done and set out to do them. Somedays you may not get it all in but you're at least on the road. I took my February calendar and listed my workouts for the month. It is my challenge to mark off each day as DONE!!! Hang in there and don't be too hard on yourself, you got this

In running Kenosha store, Franz Bidinger showed his love of music
When his teenage daughter was hanging out in her room, Franz Bidinger knew exactly how to get her to come out.
He'd crank up his reproducing piano — a kind of player piano, but with richer tones and pedal work — and he'd put on Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue."
"That would sort of lure me out of my room, when he put that on. It just touches you," said his daughter, Julie Weary. "It happened to touch both of us."
Bidinger, lover of Gershwin and Beethoven piano concertos, proprietor — like his father before him — of Bidinger Music House in Kenosha, died Jan. 5 of natural causes. He was 99.
Bidinger took over the family music store in 1946 after serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He'd graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Harvard Business School.
Bidinger had grown up working in the store founded by his father, loved music and knew just enough of a Chopin sonata to demonstrate pianos in the shop. He was partial to classical piano, especially those Beethoven concertos.
The shop on 56th St. was housed in the same building as radio station WLIP-AM (1050). Bidinger Music House specialized in musical instruments — drums, violins, pianos — as well as televisions (it had a Magnavox franchise). It carried records, too, with listening booths where customers could hear the music before they bought it.
Weary remembers her father setting her up in a booth to listen to Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf."
Her mother would send her to the shop with her father on Saturday mornings, where he put her in charge of the adding machine.
In 1961, the family moved to Milwaukee and Bidinger ran the store until the mid-1970s, when he sold it.
"As time went on he couldn't keep up with the bigger stores," said Weary, of Vero Beach, Fla.
Still, he went back.
"He just loved the store so much," she said. "He sold it and then he would go back and work at it."
Weary saw her father's love of music growing up and noted that anyone who knew him described him as a gentleman. She called him a gentle man who liked to quote Shakespeare's "Winter" poem ("Tu-whit, tu-who: a merry note...").
As he grew older, his daughter encountered what she calls an unexpected lesson in bravery from Bidinger. It was how he handled his mounting infirmities, moving first from the Fox Point home he'd shared with his late wife, Virginia, to the Milwaukee Catholic Home. His care needs meant moves from independent living to assisted living.
"Little by little, his life shrunk," his daughter said. "And he took it all with grace and good humor."
He continued to quote Shakespeare and lines from favorite songs. He liked the line, "The Mediterranean was getting a little too blue..." from "Mediterranean Folly" by Dwight Fiske.
"He never complained. He was really the bravest man I've known, and I never thought of him as being brave growing up," she said.
"But he showed what he was made of these last few years. He was brave. And a great example of how to live the end of your life."
Besides his daughter, Julie, he is survived by a son, Franz L. Bidinger Jr., and three grandsons.

Near where my son lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, there is a small brick firehouse. It is home to the elite Squad Company 1, which on September 11 lost 12 men.
I decided to recruit fellow knitters to help make 12 red, white and blue afghans, one for each of the families. We have actually made 13 now the extra one will be kept at the firehouse.
Each afghan is different. Some were made by a group or guild, whose members knitted or crocheted rectangles that were sewn together. Others were made entirely by an individual. Some have ordered, geometric patterns; others are more freeform in design. But they all share the same meaning.
I wanted to do this as a way to remember and honor those courageous firefighters, and to let their families and the rest of the squad know that people care. I put a special tag on each afghan to try to express that.
Contributors to the project include: Helen Cunha; Fran Elovitz; Donna Lambert, Rita Marso; the Knitting & Crochet Group at the Kennedy Senior Center in Natick, MA; and the Knitting Guild of America, Long Island NY Chapter.

Aaron Sorkin Strongly Considering Penning Steve Jobs' Biopic
By Kelly West 2011-11-22 15:43:51 comments
Since the unfortunate death of Apple genius and tech-icon Steve Jobs and the news that Sony picked up the rights to the biopic, word was that Aaron Sorkin was Sonys top pick to write the movie and for good reason.
E! Online posted an update on the Jobs biopic, which has Sorkin confirming that Sony has asked him to write the movie and that its something hes strongly considering.
"Right now I'm just in the thinking-about-it stages," he said. "It's a really big movie and it's going to be a great movie no matter who writes it."
Ill agree with the first part in that it's going to be a really big movie, and politely disagree with the comment that it'll be a great movie no matter who writes it. Perhaps hes optimistic that Jobs story is so interesting, anyone could write it into a great movie, or maybe hes just being modest. Either way, the film should be put into the hands of someone who knows how to translate a true and intriguing story into a film thats both entertaining and fair. Sorkin has proven to be capable of just that and has the Oscar to prove it for penning The Social Network.
Its easy to look at The Social Network now and say that the movie was destined to be as successful as the site that plays such a big role in the movie, however Facebook-The-Movie could have been a dull tale of tech-talk and smart Harvard kids bickering over who invented Facebook, had it not been for the good direction, good acting and most definitely, good writing.
Having recently rewatched Pirates of Silicon Valley, Ive gained an even bigger appreciation for Sorkins contributions to The Social Network. The TV movie which focuses on Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, and the Mac vs. PC tech-war in its earlier years, touches on some interesting elements, but it drags a lot and never really comes together as a story, nor do we ever really get to the root of Gates or Jobs as people. Certainly not in the way we see Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and some of the other people portrayed in The Social Network. Pirates gets close in some ways, but it never hits the mark. The Jobs biopic might turn out to be great with some other writer, but the chances seem even more favorable with Sorkin involved.

Parise expects return to Pru Center to be weird, emotional; Says he's "fine with it" if fans boo him
The Minnesota Wild's schedule happened to work out so Zach Parise had a day off today in New Jersey.
Being back where he played for the first seven seasons of his NHL career, Parise spent most of the day in the area around the team's hotel, but he planned to have dinner tonight with some of his former Devils teammates.
On Thursday, they will be opponents as Parise plays his first game at Prudential Center as a visitor. The former Devils captain already faced his old teammates on Nov. 3 of this season in Minnesota – a 4-0 Wild victory – but acknowledged being back at The Rock will be strange for him.
"It's going to be pretty different than what I was used to for so long," Parise said. "But, I'm looking forward to it. You're going to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a long time as far as their staff and their players. I'm looking forward to that. I have a lot of good friends there.
"And, then, as far as the game, it will be fun. I think it will be pretty emotional for me at the start, just a lot of really good memories from playing here. So, it will be fun."
The last time Parise played at Prudential Center was Game 5 of 2012 Stanley Cup Finals. He scored a goal that night and the Devils stayed alive in the series with a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.
"It's been a long time," Parise said. "Two years almost since then. Kind of crazy."
Parise, 29, left the Devils to sign with a 13-year, $98 million contract with the Wild and join his home state's NHL team as an unrestricted free agent on July 4, 2012. The Wild were originally scheduled to play at Prudential Center in 2012-13, but that game was wiped out by the owners' lockout that truncated the season to only 48 games and eliminated out-of-conference play.
So, Parise had to wait until this season to come back to New Jersey. He said there were positives and negatives to not getting to come back last season.
"Of course, I was excited to come back," he said. "I wouldn't have minded getting that first one over with now that I'm looking back on it. But, right when the schedule came out, I looked to see when I came back. It's a game I was excited about to come back here and play."
A lot has changed for Parise off the ice since he left the Devils. He married his longtime girlfriend, Alisha, a few weeks after he signed with the Wild and became a father on Jan. 8 when Alisha gave birth to twins - a boy, Jaxson, and a girl, Emelia.
"It's going fantastic," he said of fatherhood. "It's been awesome just to see in the short amount of time how much they change. We were looking back through some pictures from when they were newborn to now and it's unbelievable how much they've changed. It's been so much fun. We've loved it."
Having faced Parise once already this season, the Devils say playing against him again Thursday won't have much significance for them. Parise believes the game in Minnesota probably was more meaningful to him as well.
"For them, it was just another road game. It just happened to be in Minnesota," said Parise, who ranks second on the Wild with 23 goals and 45 points despite missing 15 games due to a foot injury. "Guys play against old teammates all the time. But, for me personally, that game was pretty different. And now coming back here to play, I can't speak for them, but of me it will be pretty weird."
The question Parise says he has been getting "a lot" is what kind of reaction he expects from the Devils' fans. He was a fan favorite during his time as a Devil, but significant players who have left via free agency in the past usually have not been well received upon their returns.
Scott Neidermayer, who helped the Devils win three Stanley Cups and now has his No. 27 retired, was booed in his first game back in New Jersey after signing with Anaheim. After leaving the Devils to sign with the rival Rangers in 2007, Scott Gomez was booed for years after that – even after he was no longer a Ranger.
Parise said if he is booed, "I'm fine with it."
"I'm expecting it," he said. "It's fine. They're passionate about their team and it's understandable. I guess if they wouldn't even care to acknowledge that I was back, that would be a little different."
Parise's good friends Andy Greene and Travis Zajac joked that they hope the crowd does boo him.
"They're not really helping out my cause," Parise said.
Parise accepts he likely won't get the same kind of reception former Islander Matt Moulson received in his return to Nassau Coliseum Tuesday night. Moulson scored the Wild's first and last goals in a 6-0 victory.
"It was really cool for him," Parise said. "There were a lot of cheers right at the beginning and then they were cheering when he scored at the end and chanting, "Bring back Moulson!". So, that was really cool and I know he really appreciated it, too."
Finally playing at Prudential Center again might bring some closure for Parise to his time as Devil, but he says playing in New Jersey will always having meaning for him.
"For me, I think it's always going to be special coming back here just because of the great memories that I have from playing here," he said. "It's always a place I'll look forward to come back and playing."
Parise's return does not change that the game is an important one for both teams. The Wild are trying to lock up a playoff berth in the Western Conference. The Devils have lost three in a row and desperately need a victory to keep their fading playoff hopes alive.
Parise is as surprised as anyone by the Devils' recent slide because the thought they looked primed to make a run after winning five of their first seven games following the Olympic break.
"They had a pretty good record coming out of the break and then just a couple of tough games after that," Parise said. "I still think they have a chance. There's always a chance. They play a way that they're capable of winning a handful in a row and getting right back into it.
"For us, it's a very important game too. We've got a lot on the line as well. We've got to make sure we're solidifying that wild card spot."
Parise said he heard the talk of the possibility of the Wild acquiring Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur prior to the trade deadline (which would have made Thursday's game even more interesting). Parise never thought the Devils would trade Brodeur, though.
"I didn't think so," Parise said. "I just couldn't see him in a different jersey."
Not to rehash old news, but just to address the idea being pushed this week that the Devils were close to signing both Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter before they opted to go to Minnesota together.
Lamoriello stated on the day Parise and Suter signed with the Wild (to identical 13-year, $98 million contracts) that his pursuit of Suter never went beyond the preliminary stage and he never made a contract offer. Lamoriello reached out to Suter when he became an unrestricted free agent to gauge his interest in playing in the Eastern Conference and, specifically, New Jersey and was told that was not Suter's preference.
Parise confirmed that he also asked Suter if he was interested in signing with the Devils – as Suter asked Parise if he was interested in signing in Nashville. Suter's response to Parise was the same as he gave Lamoriello.
"It was nothing against New Jersey," Parise said. "He just wanted to stay out West. He just liked it out West. That's where he wanted to be."
Even without Suter, there was still a chance that Parise would have returned to the Devils. He stated multiple times that his final choice was between going home to Minnesota with Suter or returning to the Devils – on his own.

Ben Katchor: The Jew of New York
Ben Katchor
The Jew of New York
The setting: New York, 1830. An acting company is staging a play called The Jew of New York, written by an anti-Semite about the journalist/playwright (and historical personage) Major Mordecai Noah. Another Jew, thrown out of his community for breaking the laws governing ritual slaughter, has amassed a fortune in beaver pelts. Meanwhile, a competing theater company has seized on a strange notion prevalent at the time--that Native Americans were of Jewish descent--to mount a play that features an Indian who speaks Hebrew.
Though set some 160 years ago, Ben Katchor's Buffalo bears more than a passing resemblance to the subterranean, nocturnal dreamland the comic artist has created in his weekly strip Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer and the lesser-known Cardboard Valise over the last decade. Those strips focus on life in a contemporary (yet strangely timeless) and unnamed city that is obviously New York, and they're filled with an unyielding sense for the absurd underpinnings of everyday life and a keen eye for detail. As with Katchor's other work, The Jew of New York features a cast of distracted, middle-aged, and almost exclusively male characters, crudely drawn in black and white, and it leaps from one character to another with little notice. Their endeavors are mysterious and their habits curious: They eat a lot of turtle soup; some attend rallies sponsored by the Anti-Masturbation League. One man, a student of the kabbalah, spends his days recording words to describe bodily functions. FYI: "Greptz" is his onomatopoeic rendering of a loud burp.
What comes across more loudly than this greptz is Katchor's compassion for those on the fringe--in his mind, seemingly, almost everybody. And if everyone's an outsider, then perhaps Katchor is suggesting something bigger and, perhaps, a bit more profound: Is anybody on the inside?
