Sodas Are Harmful
Bubbly and sugary, soft drinks are appealing to the eyes, refreshing to drink, and easy on our pockets but they do come at a cost. From obesity, poor bone health to cancer, the excess use of sugar, caffeine, and added colors in the soft drinks can take a toll on your health. Learn the healthy alternatives and keep the health risks at bay!
Thanks to better awareness of their ill effects, soda consumption may have dipped in recent times, but they still reign as one of America's favorite drinks. Be it a mix for your favorite spirit or grown-up drink or a quick fix for your kid's birthday party, soft drinks come in handy. But what exactly are they doing to your body?
The Not-So-Sweet Story Of Sugary Sodas
Any beverage without "hard" alcohol or dairy products in it may come under the bracket of soft drinks, but they usually indicate the sweet, bubbly, carbonated sodas or flavored drinks retailing across the country. Soft drinks usually contain food coloring, preservatives, and caffeine. The "Contains No Fruit" label often broadcasts the zero nutritional content of the drink. More worrying than the lack of nutrition, however, is the high level of unhealthy ingredients in the average soft drink and the health risk they pose.
With a 12-ounce tin of soft drink containing a whopping 10 teaspoons of sugar, each drink is like eating a dessert or three! And while the FDA does say you can have a maximum of up to 12.5 teaspoons a day, things are changing fast as regulators and consumers wake up to the risks of high sugar intake. The American Heart Association already sets their maximum at half that amount.1 The WHO too has cut their recommendation to a maximum recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of 6 teaspoons – which means one can of soda and you've already crossed your daily limit.2
But then, what's all the fuss about? Here's why you should be concerned about your soft drink intake.
Glucose Spike And Metabolic Syndrome
The high sugar levels in the average drink cause a sharp spike in your blood glucose level, and without helping you stay satiated for long. As a result, your body feels hunger and fatigue, unleashing a vicious cycle that negatively impacts your waistline and ups your risk of type 2 diabetes.3
As one cohort study spanning over 8 years showed, having one or more soft drinks per day translated to a substantial weight gain and an increased risk for type 2 diabetes in women participants.4
Men aren't getting away with drinking these sugary treats either. A comprehensive review of multiple studies has confirmed that regular intake of such drinks raises your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.5
Obesity Risk In Children
Since children enjoy guzzling these sugary drinks (often replacing healthy foods), they are at a greater risk. As one study indicates, decreasing soft drinks intake can significantly reduce the obesity in children and adolescents.6
Considering many of them have no nutritional benefits, these drinks have no place in children's diet. The caffeine in many of them can replace the nutrient-dense foods like milk and suppress hunger in children.
Heart Disease
Obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type-2 diabetes (all of which become more likely with sugary drink consumption) are all markers for cardiovascular disease.7
When you're consuming too much sugar from unhealthy sources, there are fewer chances of your eating nutrient and fiber-rich fruits and vegetables. This can lead to an imbalance in your lipids and cause heart problems. In a study conducted over two decades, men who consumed soft drinks regularly were found to be 20% more at risk of getting a heart attack.8
Dental Problems
There is yet another reason why too much sugar in your soda can wipe away smiles. The sugar in your sodas, when acted upon by the bacteria in the mouth, becomes an acid. And this acid attacks teeth enamel and weakens them. Children and adolescents are especially susceptible to tooth decay because of their underdeveloped enamel.9
Osteoporosis And Bone Fractures
Phosphoric acid is a food additive added to colas to give them a tangy flavor and also to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the sugar-rich environment. Too much phosphate in the blood can intervene with proper calcium metabolism essential for healthy bones.
According to one study, regular intake cola can lead to osteoporosis and increased risk of bone fractures.10
Kidney Trouble
The phosphoric acid in colas also causes urinary disturbances, kidney stones, and chronic kidney disease.11
Liver Disease
A common sweetener used in soft drinks is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), made from corn starch. Unlike glucose, which can be broken down by the cells of your body, fructose can only be processed by the liver. When consumed in excess, it can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition that is also associated with high cholesterol and high blood pressure.12
Since HFCS (which is cheaper than sugar) is commonly used to sweeten drinks, some research goes so far as to attribute the obesity epidemic, in large part, to the HFCS in soft drinks.13
Cancer Risk
The added colors and preservatives in drinks spell more trouble for you. And this is trouble of the worst kind.
- Colas: The trademark caramel color of the popular colas may be aesthetically pleasing but its effects are pure evil: 4-methylimidazole is a carcinogen found in the brown food coloring.14 In a laboratory setting, 4-methylimidazole caused lung, liver, and thyroid cancer in mice.15
- Orange-flavored drinks: The vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in cheerful orange drinks is known to react with sodium benzoate, a common preservative found in the soft drinks, to form benzene.16 Benzene is a carcinogen that has been found to damage bone marrow cells and cause leukemia in animal studies.17
- Plastic bottles and aluminum cans: Plastic and cans used for packaging soft drinks are laden with chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA), the infamous carcinogen also known for disrupting hormones and raising blood pressure.18
Sleeping Trouble
The caffeine found in your soft drinks is highly addictive and acts as a stimulant by enhancing the production of adrenaline. That's good news when you need a pick-me-up to get through that deadline at work or that mammoth home renovation project. But if it's a regular feature, things takes a turn for the worse. When consumed in excess, caffeine can interrupt your sleep and digestion. And messing with your sleep sets off a whole other set of problems.19
The Dark Side Of Diet Sodas
Fond of diet sodas? Not much to cheer about there either. Contrary to what they are advertised for, diet sodas may actually make you gain weight. Researchers believe that artificial sweeteners in the sodas don't satisfy your sweet tooth like normal sugar and you tend to reach for more sugar as a result.20 Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that has been under the scanner since the 1980s. Although experts have cleared it for now, aspartame has been implicated in cancer in some animal studies.21 Artificial sweeteners like sorbitol may also cause irritable bowel syndrome.22
Healthy Alternatives: What Are Your Options?
- Nothing beats plain old H2O when it comes to replacing sugary sodas and bottled drinks. Toss in some cucumber and lemon or a handful of pomegranate seeds for some color and a subtle layer of flavor. Iced tea, coconut water, or real fruit juice minus the added sugars are a healthy option if you want something a little more flavorsome.
- You can even try kombucha, a fermented tea that can heal your gut as well as satisfy your sweet tooth.23 To get that probiotic punch, opt for a yogurt-based smoothie oomphed up with some fresh fruit or honey.
- If you just can't give up on that fizz, drink sparkling water jazzed up with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of herbs. Or try cutting the sugar in a canned or packaged juice by drinking it diluted with sparkling water.

Is it best to start up a demo/test?
Part posted a topic in General Chit ChatHi So I am wanting to create a new forum. I have been away from the scene for a while, have no particular "buzz" around this idea within a community as of yet, and I'm just playing around with ideas right now. Would people suggest that I open it when I have all my ideas circumvented within the next few months? Or should I open it now, post the material I have, and update it and keep it fresh each month with a new update for the newly established community? Or the last option, which is the one I'm leaning towards right now - open up a demo/test forum that will allow me to play around with templates and modifications until I'm ready for launch, at which point I open up the forums to the public on my primary domain. Which is the best option guys? What are your thoughts? Regards Karl

IPB 3.X to 4.x renewal.. should I renew?
Part posted a topic in Pre-Sales QuestionsHI I need some advise. I am wanting to host a new website - hopefully using the new IPB 4.0 software recently released. I am an old customer, with my IPB licence last renewed in 2013. If I renew what I own currently (IPBOARD AND IPCONTENT) for the 20$ each, will those be upgraded to the latest version upon download? Thank you. Karl.
Part posted a topic in Pre-Sales QuestionsHi I had an IPB licence, it expired many years ago. If I were to renew my licence (it was 3.3 the last renewal - around three year ago, maybe two), would I be then able to download 4.0? I had content and maybe another add on and I would want to purchase more addons. How does that work now, same as before, I would just have to buy say commerce and whatever else I wanted after content and blogs?

Part replied to Part's topic in Pre-Sales QuestionsThank you guys, you've been helpful. I'll make the purchase Wednesday.
When will I receive my confirmation?
Part replied to Pigs Feet Productions's topic in Pre-Sales QuestionsDepends on the staff, but I know for me it took ~~ 5 hour. That was for renewal of licence, though, and I think that some staff were away that day. Generally, though, I don't think it takes longer than 1-2 hours. Prepare a few welcome topics or some content while you're waiting. Or maybe a plan of how you want your categories/forums :)
Purchasing IP.Content - Continued...
Part posted a topic in Pre-Sales QuestionsI recently made a topic regarding IP Content. I'm thinking of buying this next week when I get paid. Here's what I want to do, if this is do-able then this will DEFINITELY be purchased: Homepage: I can see it has a portal that comes with it. Currently my URL: http://www.internetfreaks.org/ Directs to my forums straight away: http://www.internetfreaks.org/forums/ Would it be possible to make the portal that comes with IP.Content (I assume one comes with it from what I hear??) at the first url (http://www.internetfreaks.org/)? Will this also be integratable with the forum (so the first URL http://www.internetfreaks.org/) and have the 'logged in as' and register that people are online at the forums if they visit http://www.internetfreaks.org/ (the homepage) Another thing I want to achieve is content. I know it has some good stuff here at IPB and I trust the services, so here's what I'd want: Something like at the top 'Reviews' 'Tutorials' 'News' and stuff like that. Each with their own pages and integrated in the forum where I can post articles there and people can comment and rate them and stuff? Is this all possible? Thanks guys. Let me know if these are all possible and if not is there any alternatives.. :)

Sohrab Eshragi said Waab al-Baghdadi had a "bad attitude to women", was "dishonest", and had been involved in a previous fight, describing him as "a crook, basically".
But he said that despite this, he introduced him to Scotland Yard Commander Ali Dizaei, his friend of 15 years, anyway.
Mr al-Baghdadi had asked him to find him some customers for his website design business, Mr Eshragi said.
The owner of the Persian Yas restaurant in Kensington, west London, told Southwark Crown Court he allowed Mr al-Baghdadi to design his restaurant's website and suggested he create one for Dizaei.
"He had a porno website. I thought by introducing Mr Dizaei to him he might go straight."
Asked by Peter Wright QC, prosecuting, if he was making up his version of events to show Mr al-Baghdadi in a poor light and help out his friend Dizaei, Mr Eshragi said: "No sir. Nobody tells me what to do. I'm my own man. What I see, I tell.
"I always tell the truth, sir."
Dizaei, 47, and Mr al-Baghdadi, 24, rowed over money for the website when they met by chance at the restaurant on July 18, 2008.
Dizaei denies assaulting and falsely arresting Mr al-Baghdadi who he then left facing prosecution.
Asked if his comments were an attempt to slur Mr al-Baghdadi's reputation, Mr Eshragi told the jury of six men and six women he thought it was "already slurred".
"He had a bad attitude to women, he's dishonest, he's a crook basically," he said.
"His history, everybody knows he's not a good gentleman."
Mr Eshragi told the court that on the night in question he had urged Dizaei to ask Mr al-Baghdadi to leave the restaurant because he was concerned a fight may break out.
He said: "I was worried about this man. He was in a fight before and disappeared before the police arrived."
But he admitted he had not called police when Mr al-Baghdadi had returned to his restaurant after the previous fight, saying: "The police don't usually do anything."
Under cross-examination by Mr Wright, Mr Eshragi conceded he would not have wanted to do any favours for Mr al-Baghdadi but said he had always found it was better to try to get on with someone who had caused trouble rather than simply barring him from his restaurant.
Earlier, Mr Eshragi described his relationship with Dizaei as "like he's a relative" as he explained that he never usually charged the officer and his wife for their meals.Reuse content

Tristan Rogers
|Tristan Rogers
3 June 1946
Melbourne, Australia
|Years active
|Teresa Parkerson (21 May 1995-present; 2 children)
Barbara Meale (7 June 1974-1984; divorced)
Tristan Rogers (born 3 June 1946, Melbourne) is an Australian American actor. He is best known for playing Robert Scorpio on the ABC soap opera General Hospital and for voicing Jake in Walt Disney's The Rescuers Down Under. He is currently starring as Colin Atkinson on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless.
Rogers' early acting roles were on Australian television and he completed short stints in soap operas Bellbird, Number 96 (in 1974) and The Box (in 1975). He was a regular in the police drama series The Link Men (1970) which lasted for 13 episodes, and had guest roles in programs including Barrier Reef, Division 4 and the 1976 miniseries Power Without Glory. He also appeared in a few British films in the early 1970s, notably Four Dimensions of Greta (1972), The Flesh and Blood Show (1972) and Sex Farm (1973).
United States roles[edit]
General Hospital[edit]
He originally appeared on General Hospital from December 1980 until February 1992. The popularity and longevity of the character Robert Scorpio in General Hospital came as a result of his involvement with the monumentally popular "supercouple" Luke and Laura, whose 1981 wedding brought in 30 million viewers and remains the highest-rated hour in American soap opera history.[1][2]
While Rogers' Scorpio had been "killed with no body found" when he left the series in 1992, Rogers returned briefly in 1995 as Scorpio's spirit to comfort the character's daughter Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough), who is dealing with the loss of her boyfriend to an AIDS-related illness and is herself HIV-positive.[3] He returned again in January 2006 for six weeks, this time with Scorpio being very much alive. Rogers reappeared in April 2006 and left again that November.
Rogers has taken the lead recently in the soap industry, calling for an evolution of the medium in light of its dwindling audience. An active proponent of the entertainment industry's expansion onto the internet, Tristan is producing his own web-based talk show.[citation needed]
From 5 August 2008 through 21 October 2008, Rogers reprised the role of Robert Scorpio on the second season of SOAPnet's General Hospital: Night Shift, a prime time spin-off of General Hospital which stars Scorpio's daughter Robin.[4][5] He was featured in 12 of the season's 14 episodes, and Soap Opera Digest named the appearance their "Best Return" of 2008.[6] Rogers later reappeared on General Hospital for four episodes starting 22 December 2008 as Scorpio attends Robin's wedding.[7][8]
Rogers returned to General Hospital as Robert Scorpio on 1 March 2012 after Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) called him back to Port Charles to tell him that their daughter Robin Scorpio-Drake had been killed in a lab accident. After seven episodes, he left again on 8 March 2012. Rogers expressed disappointment.[9]
The Young and the Restless[edit]
Rogers returned to daytime television on 8 December 2010 when he joined the cast of The Young and the Restless as Colin Atkinson.[10] He was placed on contract with the show in February 2011. However, Rogers' character was written out of the series in October 2011.
On 29 March 2012 - only weeks after his short return to General Hospital - it was announced that Rogers will bring back Colin to The Young and the Restless.[11]
Other roles[edit]
|This section of a biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (December 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Rogers starred in the CINE award-winning short Opportunity Knocks, portraying Death himself. Co-produced by Aaron Wells and Suzanne Niedland, there are plans to develop the short into a feature-length film. [clarification needed]
In 1994 Rogers guest-starred in season one, episode "The War Prayer", of the science fiction TV series Babylon 5. He has done voice-over work representing restaurant chain Outback Steakhouse,[12] Foster's Lager, Reebok, Epson and others.
He voiced 'Jake the kangaroo mouse" in The Rescuers Down Under, and gave his voice to the video game Mad Max.[13]
Since 2010, Rogers has starred on the soap opera web series The Bay as Lex Martin.[14]

The surprise, but thoroughly comprehensive defeat in Jamaica last weekend has left England needing to tread a familiar path to claim the Wisden Trophy. Eleven months ago they had to overturn a first-Test defeat in New Zealand, having put in a similarly poor performance.
In fact, England have become such bad starters that it is 14 series since they won the opening match but Collingwood said: "When you win in those situations it makes it all worthwhile. You've got to go through these real lows to get to your real highs and it is amazing how these sorts of situations can bring the best out of teams."
He added: "Hopefully this is a wake-up call for us to start winning again. Everyone is desperate to do this, we are very confident we can bounce back.
"We realise we have the players in the dressing room to do it, so it will be up to those individuals to do it.
"We can't just paint over the cracks and say it is hunky dory. We have to do it."
Worryingly for Andrew Strauss, the team he has inherited has a tendency to relinquish advantages, fail to seize winning opportunities and, of course, implode as they did to 51 all out at Sabina Park.
South Africa escaped comfortably from an ominous position at Lord's and then chased down a challenging score to take the Test series at Edgbaston last summer while even the excellent performance in Chennai in December was tarnished by failing to defend a score of 387.
"Our performances over the past year haven't been as good as we would have liked," conceded Collingwood. "There have been signs over the last 12 months that when we've been hit by these pressure situations, we have not been good enough.
"We need to address that in the middle, and the next time we do that will build confidence up."

- - How Many Yards of Fabric? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/63448-how-many-yards-fabric.html)
How Many Yards of Fabric?
We're reupholstering all the interior cushions on our 1985 Catalina 36 with Sunbrella fabric. I was hoping to buy the fabric online BEFORE lugging all the cushions off the boat and over to the upholsterer - to minimize the amount of time we have a boat with nothing to sit on. But I'm not sure how many yards of fabric to buy -- has anyone done this for a Catalina 36, and could you share how many yards of fabric you used?
We'll be using Sunbrella canvas for the tops of the cushions, and using vinyl for the bottoms. So if anyone has a breakdown of both, it would be MUCH appreciated.
If not a Catalina 36, but a similar boat - I'd be happy to hear how much yardage it required as well.
Suggestion ...
It happens that there's a thread on the Catalina 36 International Association web site about this project ... you could probably get yardage from one of the 8 or 10 people who contributed to the thread.
Google is magic. ;-)
I actually found that thread already, and read it, but no one discusses yardage. And I can't post and ask the thread because you have to be a member of the association - which requires paying annual membership fees, etc - so unfortunately I actually can't get an answer there - but thanks for the suggestion!!
Dear J,
We just had new foam cushions and fabric covers made by a local upholsterer. Ordered sunbrella fabric from Sailrite and it was delivered in just a few days. I would highly recommend that you have your upholsterer tell you exactly how much fabric he or she needs. That way you won't have any problem with coming up short and possibly not matching dye lots, etc. if you need to order more fabric because of a miscalculations. Just a suggestion. New cushions are Great!

Artist: Harry Callahan (American, Detroit, Michigan 1912–1999 Atlanta, Georgia)
Date: 1946
Medium: Gelatin silver prints
Dimensions: 19.6 x 24.3 cm. (7 3/4 x 9 9/16 in.), each
Classification: Photographs
Credit Line: Purchase, The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation Gift, through Joyce and Robert Menschel, 1996
Accession Number: 1996.291a–c
Rights and Reproduction: © The Estate of Harry Callahan; Courtesy Pace/MacGill Gallery, New York
The landscape is one of Callahan's central themes in a remarkably diverse career in photography that includes portraiture, architecture, and street photography. Here, studying the Chicago beach as if it were a Zen garden, Callahan focuses on the delicate surf line, two or three stones, and the cone-shaped interference patterns created by water returning back to the lake. The elegant simplicity and planarity of the photographs (representative of Callahan's earliest work) suggests a reading of the subtle rhythms that develop in the intervals between the pictures. The work evokes a sense of quiet contemplation, formal perfection, and perhaps even material transcendence.
A masterpiece from the period of Callahan's interest in Japanese minimalism, it was made in the year he began teaching at Chicago's Institute of Design (formerly, the New Bauhaus). Callahan wrote of New Photographers, a contemporaneous traveling exhibition (1946-48) organized by the Museum of Modern Art, that he hoped his work would contain "a small pattern of my feeling about living." These exquisite photographs are material revelations of the artist's intentions.

Chronicles Revised
Same as Chronicles I but arranged differently, extra words
To my dismay, the pen he used he laid to rest, stopped writing,
Uncertain of his reasons, I asked then sought to confide him,
Why did you quit so sudden, while on a roll it seemed?
He turned to me a half way grin, and said
I've nothing left to say,
I've gone you see to and from, the place I've not yet been.

On Friday 29th August, the Year 6 boys played a soccer match against Kelvin Road School Staff.
The goal-keepers were Mr. Naidoo and Chris. Mua scored the only goal for the students' team. On the taechers team Mr. Oakey scored the most goals and other goals were scored by Mr. Robertson and Matua Harris. The ground was wet and slippery and the teachers and students were slipping and sliding all over the field. There were many spectators watching the match and even the junior children came to watch.
It was an exciting game and the teachers won 7 - 1.
Teachers watch out next year when Eru and Jospeh will be playing for the students team.

Here we go! First fan fiction so be nice. Please
Disclaimer: I do not own twilight or any of the characters
Your New Home:
I am Isabella Swan. Currently my life pretty much sucks just plain sucks. I used to think that I had a pretty good life. I lived with my two loving parents Renee and Charlie Swan, they truly truly loved one another, I cant believe I took it for granted, I took everything for granted really. My life was perfect… to perfect. When I was a little girl we used to take trips all the time to the secluded beaches of the coast of Seattle as a family. My father Charlie carrying me on his shoulders while my mom looked for sea shells, too use for her art. That was before we moved to the southern California. Sadly to say that was the beginning of the end for our close nit family.
My parents had both gotten jobs in L.A. My mother as an Art teacher and my father at a well established writing firm. Let me tell you it was a long commute from our Mission Viejo home. But to make up for the long commute my dad bought us a big four bedroom two story house in a nice neighborhood. I had my bedroom and bathroom, that I had decorated in a nice light blue and green. (picture of house on profile along with characters) It felt nice and calming I loved it, the room screamed me from the blankets to the lamp it was perfect for me.
My life was great. I lived the kind of life people wanted to live. We were well of but definitely not millionaires. Until that one day in February, it was a Friday everyone was trying to get home from work to spend a nice three day weekend with their families.
I was sitting at home watching some T.V. with my best friend Jacob waiting for my parents to get home from the writing firm they worked at. I had met Jake when I had first moved here. He was the one of the only people who was actually nice to me. Everybody else was either a jerk or stuck up. We spent that first hour together just talking about our lives and our interests. It was so easy to talk with Jake we fit like two pieces of a puzzle in every way. Before we I knew it we were spending almost every wakeing moment together. We would meet for breakfeast at Starbucks and then either drive or skateboard to our school and back together.
We were currently sitting around watching the office in my families living room couch.
"Hahaha this show is so funny! I think I love you for introducing me to the office"
"That's what she said."
"That was not funny Jake"
"It was and you know it"
"Just shut it and let me watch the show"
"Fine Fine"
One hour later in the middle of the new episode we heard the echo of the phone through the large two story house.
"Ugh can you get it I am loving this new episode"
"No way I am your guest. You get it" Jake scoffed
Jake was incredibly fit but is one of the laziest people I know.
I realized that in order to get what I wanted I had to unleash the puppy dog face. My goof ball of a best friend Jake always fell for it. He looked so comfortable sprawled across my couch I almost felt bad for using my secret weapon, almost.
"Come on Jake pretty please" I said while using my big chocalate doe eyes to my advantage
"No way Bells…You will not win with the face this time I have speacil mind that give me the will power not to fall for the puppy dog look"
"Ya like that has worked so well in the past" I said sarcastically
I knew it was working. Give it another three seconds 3….2…. 1…
"Oh fine but you owe me Bellarina" Jake said trying to be stern but failing miserably
"Whatever you big goof"
And with that he scurried of into the family room to get the phone. I thought he would be back to hand the phone over the phone like he always does. Finally after a few minutes I decided to go save him from the interigating person on the other line.
I called his name numerous times, but no one answered. I looked around the whole house, I frantically went back downstairs toward the kitchen. I finally heard him talking quietly in the pantry. It wasn't like Jacob to talk quietly let alone hide in my pantry with the phone. I decided to quietly easedrop on the conversation, I figured it was ok since it was my phone. But right as I reached the door to the pantry it swung open revealing a teary-eyed Jacob. The whole calmotion knocked me of me feet on to the cold marble floor covering the kitchen area.
" What the Hell?!" exclaimed Jacob "Oh Bella its you. Oh My Gosh are you alright I didn't see you there" he chuckled his light laugh croaky and weak like he had been crying unlike the usuall big laugh that usually filled these huge rooms
I didn't answer because the fall had knocked the wind out of me
"Bells" I didn't answer "Bella" he said slightly louder
I still didn't answer
"Oh no Bella I cant lose you too!" "God this is just to much. Just to much"
For some reason his words made me worried like they had a hidden meaning. And what in Gods name did he mean he couldn't lose me too. Oh my Gosh maybe he lost someone I mean who could be that close to him. Well he and Charlie did a lot together ever since Jake's dad ended up in wheelchair last year. But that couldn't be it. Could it? I didn't have time to ponder it because in one swift motion I was lifted of the hard marble and into Jake's warm arms. I instinctively leened into him. He began to carry me up the large staircase. Once he had entered my room he gently placed me on my soft comforter.
"What do you mean you cant lose me too?" I said as I stirred softly to get a good look at him. When I did his face went from relieved to surprised to heartbroken to reluctent. It was so much to take in after my fall that I almost couldn't read his face.
"Jacob please tell me you know I will get it out of you one way or another" I said slightly more awake now
"Bella everything will be better when you wake just try to get some rest now" Jacob said softly
"Jake tell me now" I said sitting up. I didn't know what he was keeping from me but something told me that I needed to know whether I would like it or not. Every fiber of my being told me that I needed to know now not later but right now
"Bella before I tell you have to butterfly me" Jake and I had made up a speacil pinky promise that were called butterflies. These promises ment that no matter what we had to keep our promise. "that you will remember that I will be there for you. You Bella every step of the way"
"Ok Jake I butterfly you" I said with calmness that even surprised me
Jacob exhaled loudly before looking deeply into my eyes and spoke but not before stating "Bella I warned you and am here for you"
I waited
"Bella I don't really know how to say this but…your parents they were in an accident coming home from work together" I starred at him not moving
"I am so sorry Bella"
That was the last thing I heard before I blocked out
Ok so tell me how you liked it please read and review give me your ideas for the next chapter I need ideas

The Barnes & Noble NOOK: a LOOK inside e-book devices
An e-book reader is a relatively new device intended for those who like reading whenever there is such an opportunity. It allows carrying the whole library in only one device and even listening to audiobooks!
NOOK is known to many people all over the world as an e-book device brand created and developed by the Barnes & Noble. The history of the NOOK devices started with the original e-book reader announcement in the USA in October 2009. This event was followed by the original NOOK e-book device in November.
The first generation device is available in Wi-Fi and AT&T 3G wireless connectivity. It has a 6-inch E-ink screen and, moreover, the device is fitted with an additional touch screen that performs the function of the primary input device. The original NOOK e-book devices belonging to the Nook 1st Edition are now discontinued models.
The Nook Color equipped with a 7-inch LCD display appeared on the market in November 2010. The device is intended for a wide audience and capable of viewing colored versions of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers and so on. Great attention is paid to children as a big part of this e-book device audience.
There is a limited number of books for children available for the NOOK Color including interactive animations and the professional voice feature which allow children to simply listen to an audiobook without straining their eyes. 8 GB of internal memory (only 5 out of them available to the user) allows storing about 6 thousand books or a hundred of audiobooks. If the memory space in not sufficient, you can expand it by using microSD and microSDHC cards. The heart of the Nook Color is a 800 MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor manufactured by Texas Instruments. The e-book reader supports almost all popular formats including E-PUB.
The June of 2011 was marked by the second generation e-book reader release - the Nook Simple Touch. The device has an E-ink display with 800x600 resolution. The screen has a touch screen based on a network of infrared beams. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and a USB port for a simple connection to the computer and battery charging.
Among a great variety of features a LendMe feature is worth attention. By using it users can share different books with others by the book's publisher authority. A publisher permits the buyer to give one book to one user for the period of maximally 2 weeks. This feature is also available in precedent devices.
The Nook Simple Touch is fitted with 2 GB of internal memory (1 GB can be used) which is equivalent to about 1000 books. Memory expansion with microSD and microSDHC (up to 32 GB) is also possible. A built-in web-browser allows surfing the Internet. There is a vast support of text and image files including PDF, EPUB; JPEG, BMP and others except for txt and rtf.
The next Barnes and Noble's step was a tablet computer called the NOOK Tablet. Its 16-GB version was released on November 17, 2011, whereas a 8-GB version became available a year later. The major component of the device is a standard 7-inch display. There is a microSDHC slot which provides memory expansion up to 32 GB.
Along with 8 or 16 GB of internal memory, this is enough for storing thousands of books and hundreds of audiobooks. The NOOK Tablet is fitted with a dual-core processor running at 1 GHz. The list of supported media file formats is quite big including text, audio and video formats.

"in the right" is OK, but maybe "correct" would be better for learners of English.
'correct' would be right as in right answer in a test.
'in the right' would be right as in holding the right view / being on the right side of an argument (particularly a moral argument).
I think the Japanese could mean either, but I lean towards the second based on a gut feeling about the usage of どちら.
I agree. I'll change it to "correct".

Welcome to the Community Support Network
The Community Support Network is a group of over 40 large and small organisations from the Third Sector and multi-faith groups which was set up in late autumn 2012 in response to the potential plight of our fellow Birmingham citizens who are being affected by the changes brought about by the Welfare Reform Act and its implementation in combination with the aftermath of the recession (high unemployment and the rising cost of living).
The aim of the Network is to formulate a coordinated response to the provision of all forms of crisis support that may be required such as food banks, clothing banks, hardship funds, advice giving or any other crisis support including access to temporary/emergency accommodation.
We aspire to be an effective and supportive network of organisations and groups working together to mutually support each other for the benefit of our fellow Birmingham citizens who are in need of both high and low level crisis support as well as those individuals and families who are experiencing low levels of income or are disadvantaged whether physically, socially or economically.
The Community Support Network is proud to have the Rt Revd David Urquhart, Lord Bishop of Birmingham, as its patron (read more).

CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls ahead of U.S. housing data

The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 29.65 points, or 0.2 percent, at 12,401.

The Painted Hallway
€ 12,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
August 1992
BeschreibungThirteen-year-old Jennifer Scott, left to her own devices in her great-grandmother's rambling mansion, wants to know the answer. Her research takes her deep into her family's past. Suddenly she is waking up to snowfall in summer, hearing violin music from the deserted music room and seeing visions of Thistle Manor's first occupants. There are new questions to answer. Who is the angelic little girl in the white dress Jennifer sees in the library? What is the significance of the book she clasps in her lap? Is she trying to tell Jennifer something? What happened on the first Christmas Eve in Thistle Manor and why was the red-haired man Jennifer glimpses in the doorway so angry? Aided by the town librarian, Mina Dassel, Jennifer is about to uncover a long-buried family secret. Like her heroine, Nancy-Lou Patterson's favourite books as a child included "The Secret Garden" and "The Chronicles of Narnia." Her new young adult novel "The Painted Hallway" pays tribute to both of these works. Set in southwestern Ontario and inspired by a real-life house in the village of Baden, it is likely to become a Canadian children's classic. According to novelist Jane Urquhart, Nancy-Lou Patterson has magically combined family history, romance and the mysterious to create a lyrical and engaging coming-of-age story which is, ultimately, about the power of love and art to transcend time and sorrow.'
PortraitNancy-Lou Patterson is the author of several novels for young adults and is also an accomplished visual artist. She taught in the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Waterloo for over twenty years and in 1993 was named 'Distinguished Professor Emerita' by the university. In the same year she received an honorary doctor of letters degree from Wilfrid Laurier University in recognition of 'a life dedicated to expression.' Before this she taught Fine Arts at Seattle University and was the curator of the University of Waterloo Art Gallery. Nancy-Lou Patterson was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, but for most of her adult years she has lived in Waterloo, Ontario.
Pressestimmen'What appealed to me as a researcher in parapsychology particularly was the knowledgeability and sensitivity of Nancy-Lou's depictions of otherworldly events. Here is no overwrought, Disneyland-type Haunted Mansion but events such as have actually been reported. Fantasy writers have long been fond of the return-to-the-past motif, but in employing it they usually strain parapsychological credulity by making visits to the past quite protracted, with extensive physical and verbal interaction between the time traveler and the past characters. Nancy-Lou conveys the numinous chill all the better by making her retrocognitive scenes comparatively brief, without explicit interaction between Jennifer and her ancestors, but with intimations that behind these visionary episodes is a mind or minds seeking to communicate with Jennifer. It was "meant". In this regard the sequence of retrocognitive scene is reminiscent of several historical cases: Kate Wingfield's 1889 vision of a seventeenth-century scene in Salisbury Cathedral, and Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain's interpretation of their 1901 vision of eighteenth-century scenes at Versailles. The motionless apparition of a young girl that Jennifer sees at one point, and the contrast of seasons between present and past, suggest Coleen Buterbaugh's 1963 vision at Nebraska Wesleyan University of a scene fifty years earlier. Other comparisons could be made.' Mythlore

|[jira] Created: (HDFS-1125) Removing a datanode (failed or decommissioned) should not require a namenode restart
|Mon, 03 May 2010 19:17:56 GMT
Removing a datanode (failed or decommissioned) should not require a namenode restart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HDFS-1125 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1125 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: name-node Reporter: Alex Loddengaard Priority: Minor I've heard of several Hadoop users using dfsadmin -report to monitor the number of dead nodes, and alert if that number is not 0. This mechanism tends to work pretty well, except when a node is decommissioned or fails, because then the namenode requires a restart for said node to be entirely removed from HDFS. More details here: http://markmail.org/search/?q=decommissioned%20node%20showing%20up%20ad%20dead%20node%20in%20web%20based%09interface%20to%20namenode#query:decommissioned%20node%20showing%20up%20ad%20dead%20node%20in%20web%20based%09interface%20to%20namenode+page:1+mid:7gwqwdkobgfuszb4+state:results Removal from the exclude file and a refresh should get rid of the dead node. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

The first test in a new job is always the sharpest - and here's one to make fans of James Murdoch grow thoughtful. Three million is a totemic figure for Wapping. It's the circulation figure below which the Sun must not sink, a shining symbol of continuing success - but one not easily sustained.
The glory days of 12 years back, when the Sun scored four million-plus, are long gone. Indeed, if the autumn hadn't brought a new spasm of regionalised price-cutting - 993,000 Suns on sale last month at 20p - there is reason to think a figure beginning with '2' would be there already. But this is now James's watch.
What do a million or so half-price Suns knock off Wapping's bottom line each week? Maybe £500,000, say rivals who do their own calculating. In any case, it's a tidy sum not working many positive wonders. The gain in November year-on-year was under 4,000 copies. So we have a simple question: is James a circulation scrapper like his dad, battling for sales by every available means and keeping the old non-digital flagship riding high? Or is he much more pragmatic, an analytical businessman who sees a trend staring him in the face, accepts it and moves on? By mid-January, we'll know.

Lloyds TSB has begun sending children as young as 11 Visa-enabled debit cards without the knowledge of their parents, allowing them to buy cigarettes, drugs and X-rated videos over the internet.
Ben Jenkins from south Wales is 15 years old. He has a Lloyds TSB account and was delighted when the bank sent him a Visa debit card without informing his parents. What was his first purchase? A box of 200 cigarettes, bought over the net from a Swiss-based company. His second purchase was Viagra, and his third a fake ID card, also over the internet.
His purchases, totalling £80, only came to light when the Post Office pushed a card through the Jenkins' front door, asking for a customs payment on the cigarettes. His father, Jon, was horrified. How had he been able to buy these items? He confronted his son, who showed him his new Visa debit card. "We then immediately contacted Lloyds TSB, who told us they had sent a letter out to children telling them they intended to do this. They admitted they had received several calls from parents, but it was not their policy to inform the parents or guardians as they would expect the children to do so, or for the parents to open mail addressed to their children. They also do not feel that asking the parent or guardian for consent is necessary."
Lloyds TSB confirmed to Guardian Money that it began mailings last month to children between 11 and 16, and was upgrading children's accounts from cash machine-only cards to ones with Visa facilities, enabling them to purchase goods over the internet.
"In line with industry practice, we have started to offer customers under 16 the option to have a debit card. Importantly, we do incorporate restrictions which are unique to Lloyds TSB. The debit card does not allow customers to go overdrawn and prevents purchases on websites with adult content or gambling sites," says spokeswoman Amy Mankelow.
But Jenkins is not convinced. "I pointed out to Lloyds TSB that by enabling children to purchase goods illegally [in that they are not old enough to buy them legally] over the internet, they were in fact aiding and abetting a crime. Their response was that it was not down to them to monitor other people's children, and that teenagers who are brought up well would not abuse this facility.
"I pointed out that this was both offensive and irrelevant as they do not seem to be screening the cards for such children in any case."
Lloyds TSB says: "When we send the mailing, we explain that if you are under 16, you should check with your parent or guardian whether they are happy for you to have a debit card. We included parental guides in initial correspondence and again when the card arrives. The parent or guardian could request the card wasn't issued or block it immediately if it is misused."
But, crucially, the mailing is sent in the name of the child, not the parent, so the parent may never know their child has obtained a Visa-enabled card. Lloyds TSB adds: "A lot of the under-16s with accounts will have parents who do not bank with us, so we don't know their contact details ... this is standard practice across the industry." Jenkins says it should not have to be standard practice for parents to open mail specifically addressed to their children. "I am sure most parents do not open their children's mail, especially what looks like a normal bank statement, and the idea of their child using the internet and this card to purchase goods without their knowledge - or at least having the ability to - will fill them with dread."
Giving Visa-enabled debit cards to children will further raise alarm about youths accessing unsuitable products, particularly through online auction sites. This week the Welsh Heads of Trading Standards published the results of an investigation into traders across the UK that are selling games with an 18 classification to children via popular internet auction websites.
The survey found nearly 90% of the traders tested supplied violent games to youngsters. Games bought by children as young as 12 included Manhunt, Grand Theft Auto, Godfather and Hitman, all of which carry a British Board of Film Classification category of 18 because they contain scenes of a violent nature. Traders face extensive penalties for supplying such games to an underage person. A person found guilty is liable to be jailed for up to six months and/or fines.
Lee Jones, acting head of Trading Standards, Bridgend County Borough Council, says: "This survey shows how easily children can gain access to age-restricted, violent video games."
The Trading Standards survey enlisted volunteers aged 12 to 16, who ordered online but paid using postal orders. But now that children across the country are being sent Visa cards, buying restricted goods will become easier than ever. Lloyds TSB suggests that home computers are set to parental control to prevent youngsters accessing various sites. But Jenkins says he fears that 14- and 15-year-olds can easily outwit their parents when using the internet.
· Ben and Jon Jenkins are not their real names.

You'll be tired by now, after a testing day which has included much wrapping, preparing and purchasing, plus that moment this afternoon, amid the jingle-jangle of the music, the unnatural heat, the smell of scent and the scent of panic, when you just couldn't think what to get for which visiting extended family member and made your annual resolution to start in September.
The consolation is that you're following in a proud island tradition: think Drake and his bowls, Geoff Hurst in 1966, Waterloo, Martha Lane Fox, St Helens vs Bradford Bulls, 2000, and a certain lackadaisicality, 1936-39.
True, it's not always worked out that well: Alfred, cakes; Harold, Hastings; Captain Nolan, the Charge of the Light Brigade; Gordon Brown, charm. And it might be a touch early to judge joining Europe or the musical penis for Uncle Brian. But: spontaneity, edginess, against drilled, dull forethought: we know which we prefer. Now, where's the turkey?Reuse content

I have a deadline. My edits are supposed to be finished and the manuscript is supposed to be back in the hands of my editor on the 24th. Probably late in the evening hours. I could even say the 25th, first thing. But yeah, that's pretty much the 24th anyway since I don't work in the mornings.
Currently, according to my Kindle, I'm 9% of the way through this round of making notes. Notes that have to then be entered into the manuscript. In 3 days.
Umm, yeah. Exactly.
I'm not always this bad. Sometimes, if I put my head down and light a fire under my butt, I can work at a steady pace, never get behind, and coast into a deadline. Sometimes. Other times, I'm hanging on by the tips of my toes, sliding into home at the last minute. Most times, I'm somewhere in between.
I learned this back when I gave myself deadlines for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). 30 days, 50K words. I would start out gangbusters. Then I'd slack off mid-month. Then I'd type furiously for the last few days so I could reach my goal.
Now I have real deadlines. Someone else is expecting something from me on a specific date. And while I'm pretty sure she'd let me slide, I don't like to do that. I made a commitment, I stick to the commitment. Whether I get any sleep in the days before isn't a consideration. Whether the work is 100% awesome when it arrives at my editor's inbox? Well... probably not. It'll be 100% when it goes live at Amazon on release day.
I could probably point to contributing factors. I was under the weather this week. Not really an excuse, though, because if I hadn't slacked off last week, I could afford to take a day for personal illness. Nope. It's all on me. And I'm working on it.
No, really. I am.
How are you with deadlines? What's some flaw you know you have that you're working on?
