I'm about 9 days in right now. I bought it after seeing the reviews from others.
I was planning a massive cut (about 20 lbs) and needed something to suppress my appetite as I am typically a food vacuum! Even though I eat clean, I eat big portions quite often.
I've been in the bodybuilding lifestyle for about 12 years. Over that time, I have tried quite a few fat burning/energy products....the original Hydroxycut, Ripped Fuel, Animal Cuts, Lipo-6, VPX ClenbuterX, Leviathan, and the original Xenadrine. I've also done ECA, ECY, and numerous other I can't recall atm. I think I have plenty of experience in this type of product.
I took one cap when I woke up Saturday the 13th of June. I wasn't dieting yet but interested in the product...about 1/2 hour after I took it I felt it kick in...I wasn't to able to notice the other effects because I was busy most of the day and didn't think about it much.
Sunday, I did the same thing...took one upon waking up...felt it about 1/2 hour later...that day I noticed I didn't seem to eat as much as usual.
Monday was starting the big test. Monday I was starting the most extreme of diets...Velocity. I woke up, took TWO...felt it kick in. At this point all I have to say is, my plan was a casein shake and fishoil caps every 2-3 hours....I had to FORCE myself to make one and drink it. Even though I was hungry, I didn't feel like consuming anything.
Tuesday was the same as Monday. My wife was commenting on how much leaner I was looking already (she knew I was dieting, that's it).
Wednesday started the same, but Velocity allows one healthy meal and my wife made one of my favorites, Tikka Masala, so I made today the day. I made a big bowl of my usual portion and....ate it really slowly. You would think after 2 1/2 days of shakes and no carbs I'd scarf it. Uh-uh. It was all I could do to eat it. That bowl took forever to eat.
Thursday I developed a problem, somewhere between squats and lunges I tweeked my left knee and quit possibly tore a miniscus all I know is it's bruised, swollen, hurts, and if I bend it too much when I straighten it it will lock up and pop. As a result, workouts are done, but I will continue to diet, just change it. I figure I may need calories and nutrients to heal so I switched up from Velocity to the Anabolic Diet so I could eat more solid foods.
Slim X is making this sooooooo easy. I decided yesterday (because of fathers day) I would allow cheating and have carbs. I has 3 tablespoons honey with the morning shake and that was it.
I have no idea how much I've actually lost because I don't even own a scale, but everyone notices already and says my face looks thinner. And as far as the mood improving qualities...I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression a few months ago. I feel so much better now!!!! Despite all the problems, my outlook is much more positive. Plus being a stim junkie makes my anxiety worse, Stim X hasn't effect me in that aspect whatsoever!
My wife was complaining about her body. She has the dreaded desk job and puts in 60+ hours a week. Saturday she was VERY upset even though she only needs to lose 10-15 lbs...I told her wait until the next day. Keep in mind when you read the following she had no idea what Slim X was or reported to do.
Yesterday morning I woke up and she was already awake. I asked her if she ate and she said no but she was really hungry. I gave her a Slim X and told her to wait about an hour to eat. When it kicked in for her she broke out in a sweat, she said she felt like she just finished a workout...I told her it may take a few days for her to get used to the metabolic boost. Later I told her she could eat and she thought for a moment then said she didn't want anything...I asked what was wrong and she said even though she was hungry she didn't feel like anything! An hour or so later I made her a protein shake just to get something in her belly. Later in the day she made a sandwich and only ate 1/2...and forced herself to eat it!
We went out that evening and she was in a silly jokey mood, she said she just felt light and care free...a complete 180* difference from the previous day where she was stressed so bad I thought she would have a breakdown. When we got home she wanted to eat and grabbed a veggie tray from the fridge. She ate 4-5 cheese cubes and was finished...she was satisfied with that.
Finally before bed she asked what I gave her. I had gave her ECA before and that made her bounce off walls, I think she expected the same thing. I told her what it was and what it was supposed to do at that time.
So, for the record, my wife being TOTALLY unaware what I gave her, experienced the metabolic increase, appetite suppression, and better mood that Anabolic Xtreme says Slim X does.
This stuff is the REAL DEAL. Great job AX!!!!!!

Why a Roman Shade with Cafe Panels was the Right Choice
The other day I showed you the 'Anthropologie' inspired bathroom. In that room we made a roman shade with coordinating café panels.
By cleverly mounting the roman shade way above the actual top of the window trim, it instantly tricks the eye into believing the window is larger! (I am always amazed with that trick!) click here to read the rest of the story

A new mayor in West Michigan, but he lost the vote count
By Mark Brush
In the small West Michigan city of Montague, a new mayor was elected even though he had fewer votes than his challenger.
That's because his challenger had died a week before the election.
From the Muskegon Chronicle:
Montague has a new mayor for the first time in 20 years despite more votes being cast for the longtime incumbent who died a week before the election.
Henry Roesler Jr., who was seeking his 11th consecutive term as mayor, received the most votes cast in the city's mayoral election, but his votes don't officially count based on state law. Therefore, Kevin Erb, the challenger, won the two-year term.
State law says votes for a deceased candidate are void.

Corner Tavern Coupons and Deals
Local pubs bring neighbors together, just like murdering a frankenstein. Sharpen your forks for this Groupon. Choose Between Two Options $15 for $30 worth of New American pub food $30 for $60 worth of New American pub food for four or more See the full menu.
Explore all angles of your hunger's geometry and find satisfaction at the intersection of comfort food and craft cuisine with the Corner Tavern! With 4 locations, Atlanta's Corner Taverns offer 360 degrees of delicious pub grub with micro-brewed beers and creative cocktails. Snack on spicy cheese smothered Corner Nachos or beer battered Artichoke Hearts. Tuck tacos under your tongue, brave beer brisket, or jerk chicken. The Tavern's 7 oz grass-fed burger comes safely sandwiched in a local-made Holeman & Finch bun, with optional accoutrements like jalapenos, avocado, and apple wood smoked bacon. Keep your meal light with 5 types of salad, or keep it heavy with Jalapeno Corn Bread Stuffed Chicken topped with Chili Cream Sauce. Locations at Little 5, East Point, Edgewood, and West Midtown.
Scout Notes: Some call it the best view in Little Five. We call it the unofficial home base of ATL's most lovably weird 'hood. One that serves up a damn good craft brew selection, a cocktail called the Bourbon Cowboy, and an unholy creation known as the Guinness pie (and don't even try to get that recipe—only Melanie and her 12-year-old know that secret formula). Corner Tavern feels instantly familiar as soon as you walk in the door but make no mistakes: this ain't your standard neighborhood watering hole. Particularly when it comes to Chef Nate Morrill's menu. See: the Carpetbagger, a god among burgers stuffed with blue cheese, treated with a beer batter, slathered in the house-made buffalo sauce and sandwiched between two Holeman & Finch Bakery buns. It has fed many a hungry bar-goer and was even featured on CNN's Serious Eats blog... because let's be real, that thing is seriously good. Of course, for those looking for a less deep-fried option or a way to justify indulging in a few extra porters, there's the Sunshine Salad, a plate of veggie goodness (and a bit of walnut-encrusted goat cheese). For dessert? Well, the aforementioned Guinness-infused chocolate silk pie is a no-brainer... as is the salted caramel martini, which I feel requires little explanation of its deliciousness. Beyond the menu, the cocktails, and the beer, there's that one other thing that's made Corner Tavern so near and dear and damn entertaining: the people-watching. Simply saddling up at a table within eyeshot of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking Euclid and Moreland can provide hours of entertainment far superior to whatever's airing on the Learning Channel at the moment. One of our favorite neighborhood bars, in the heart of one of our favorite neighborhoods, that happens to have one of our favorite new cocktails (that Bourbon Cowboy has bourbon, root liqueur, bitters, ginger, and nutmeg). Seriously, how could you not love this joint? Menu Highlights: Fried Artichoke Hearts, $8 Bacon-Wrapped Figs, $9 Sunshine Salad, $9 The Carpetbagger Burger, $11 Truffle Shuffle Burger, $10 Hours: Hours: Monday - Saturday, 11 a.m. - 2 a.m. Sunday, 11 a.m. - 12 a.m.
Welcome! We specialize in delicious and reasonably priced cuisine, including our house specialties and other customer favorites. Our cuisine entrees are served in a relaxed and welcoming setting that you and your friends and family are sure to enjoy. Whether you are in the mood to indulge in something new or just want to enjoy some old favorites, we promise that our inventive menu and attentive service will leave you truly satisfied.

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Esther Greenwood
Esther Greenwood, a bright college student who aspires to be a writer. At the age of nineteen, brown-eyed and brown-haired, Esther feels somewhat out of place in the world of high fashion and money to which she is introduced as a result of winning a fashion magazine contest. She enters her prestigious college on a scholarship. Esther is not one to sit in the corner feeling insecure; instead, she meets the world with a lively touch of sarcasm that colors her description of New York City, her friends, and herself. After her month in the city working as an intern on the magazine, however, her sense of daring becomes coupled with a feeling of disappointment over life. She attempts suicide and has a nervous breakdown, which is followed by recuperation in a series of hospitals and sanatoriums.
Buddy Willard
Buddy Willard, a medical student whom Esther has dated. He is an only child, and his parents encourage his relationship with Esther. Buddy has a fairly realistic view of life. Although he prides himself on his health, as a first-year medical student he contracts tuberculosis and must spend time in a sanatorium. When Esther visits him, he proposes to her, but by this time she has lost interest. Later, he visits her in the sanatorium, but by now there is nothing but curiosity about their relationship and a lurking fear that he may have contributed to her emotional condition.

Aurelia Plath's comments on The Bell Jar's use of "caricatures" are well founded: The minor characters in the novel tend to be stock, one-sided, static, and nearly all of them are cast in a most unflattering light. Nonetheless, one of the great virtues of the book lies in Plath's ability to limn her characters in a few well-chosen and immediate words, an accomplishment one critic has likened to "a series of snapshots taken at high noon." When the unimaginative and deadly dull Buddy Willard exhibits himself in front of Esther, prompting in her only thoughts of "turkey neck and turkey gizzards," an enduring portrait has been etched in the reader's mind. Similarly, Mrs. Willard's domination by her husband is made real when she is shown laboriously braiding a doormat for the kitchen floor. The Bell Jar is made up of some eighty-odd distinct "scenes" of this sort, in most of which a minor character is tellingly caught in the lens of Esther's razor-sharp eye.
A more troublesome issue is the depiction of Esther herself: For many readers, her initial ingenuousness and her later derangement undercut her credentials as a reliable narrator. Nevertheless, a British reviewer of the novel's first edition noted that there "are criticisms of America that the neurotic can make as well as anyone, perhaps better . . . " Esther has not misread fundamentally the world around her, nor does she lack the intelligence and humor which are commonly supposed to ward...

Character Analysis
Joan Gilling
A former rival for Buddy Willard's affections, Joan Gilling is eventually admitted to the same posh mental hospital where Esther is making her recovery. Although one of the novel's major characters, she materializes only toward its conclusion. Joan and Esther represent the two most complex characters in The Bell Jar and share many similarities. Both attend a prestigious women's college; both are intelligent, accomplished women; both come from the same hometown and went to the same church; both have suicidal tendencies. Further, both come to despise Buddy Willard for similar reasons. What distinguishes Joan and Esther most obviously is money; Joan comes from a wealthy family, whereas Esther's background is modestly middle class. Hence, Joan takes for granted many things—horseback riding, fancy clothes, private lessons—that Esther must struggle to obtain.
Although on the surface, Joan seems to represent the typical upper-class "Seven Sisters" college girl, she is really not. First, she is a physics major in college—a rather unusual choice for a woman in the 1950s. Second, she is even more nakedly ambitious than Esther and does not feign femininity in situations to please men. For example, on bike trips with Buddy Willard, she does not ask for his help ascending high hills. Third, she is not physically attractive (much to Esther's relief), and some critics have written that Joan's attraction to lesbianism can be interpreted as her realization...
(The entire section is 350 words.)
Esther Greenwood
The protagonist of The Bell Jar, Esther Greenwood is a young, highly intelligent college student who has a breakdown. A woman from a modestly middle-class background, but surrounded by many relatively affluent people, Esther represents on the most obvious level an individual unsure of what she wants. The central conflict concerns marriage and motherhood versus literary ambitions. Given her limited financial reserves, her choice is extremely important.
Her attitude toward the other major female characters in the novel is usually ambivalence. At various points in the novel, she sees Doreen, Betsy, Jay Cee, Joan Gilling, and many others as role models, but they all fail her expectations in different ways. Her feelings toward women shift quite abruptly. For example, soon after she wishes she "had a mother like Jay Cee," the ruthless editor has hurt her by criticizing her lack of ambition. Sexy, uninhibited Doreen seems like a nice contrast to the bland guest editors at Ladies' Day, but Esther ultimately tires of her promiscuity. Betsy's niceness and virginity strikes Esther as alternatively a blessing and a curse; Joan's lesbian advances apall Esther, but Esther turns to her in a moment of a medical emergency.
The one female character that Esther is unambivalent toward is her mother, Mrs. Greenwood. "I hate her" sums up her feelings very well. Two reasons explain Esther's loathing. First, her mother discouraged Esther from mourning...
(The entire section is 513 words.)
Buddy Willard
Buddy Willard is Esther's boyfriend and a medical student. Originally, Esther enjoyed what she perceived as Buddy's lack of sexual experience ("... he made me feel I was much more sexy ..."); when she learns he was having an affair with a waitress while he was seeing her, she feels disillusioned. For Esther, it is not so much the double standard (i.e, it is okay for a man to have a fling but scandalous for a woman to do so) that upsets her; she now feels inferior to Buddy because she is a virgin and he is not.
Esther is competitive with Buddy in other ways. That he, as a doctor, can give pregnant women a drug to minimize their pain during childbirth upsets Esther. To her, the doctors—all male—are depriving the expectant women of both the trauma and beauty of the birth experience simply to achieve the ends. Hence, she imagines Buddy robbing herself of all bodily forms of pleasure.
Esther's fears aside, Buddy is a rather odious character. He seems far more interested in instructing her on such matters as medicine, science, and skiing than in learning anything from her. Joan Gilling's off-hand comment about Buddy ("He thought he knew everything. He thought he knew everything about women.") captures his feelings of superiority very well. When Esther learns Buddy has contracted tuberculosis and will need to spend a year in a sanatorium, her reaction is mostly relief that he will be gone a long time. After learning that Esther has been in a...

Other Characters
One of the guest interns at Ladies' Day, Betsy represents the ultimate "nice girl": an All-American girl from Kansas who will wait patiently for a husband, a big farm, and plenty of children—without losing her virginity before marriage. In The Bell Jar, Betsy attempts to keep Esther away from Doreen's vampish influence, and for a while Esther seems receptive.

Obama's own former deputy press secretary is leading the charge to push the president to stop the pipeline.
Bill Burton quit his job before the 2012 election to head up the super PAC Priorities USA, which worked for the president's re-election. In January, he joined the PR firm Global Strategy Group as an executive vice president.
He is now representing a new coalition, "All Risk, No Reward," which opposes Keystone XL. It goes after the additional greenhouse gases but also showcases the damage to Americans in the heartland caused by spills.
Obama must decide
Obama has promised to decide soon on whether or not to allow the TransCanada oil company to lay the 835-mile long Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta, Canada, to Steele City, Neb.
The Keystone XL would pump 830,000 barrels of oil sands crude per day through America's heartland, connecting crude producers in Canada with refineries and shipping companies in the United States.
TransCanada would cover all the costs, proponents argue, making it practically a gift to the U.S. oil infrastructure.
On its way to Nebraska, where it would connect with other, already existing pipelines, Keystone XL would pick up additional oil produced in Montana and North Dakota and stream it south, TransCanada said on its website.
It would reduce "American dependence on oil from Venezuela and the Middle East by up to 40 percent," TransCanada extols.
But the EPA is also concerned about oil spills, particularly since sands crude is different from conventional crude.
It cites a 2010 pipe break in Michigan, which spurted out 20,000 barrels of sands crude. Some of it sank to the bottom of the Kalamazoo River and could not be completely cleaned up in three years' time, the EPA said.
"Spills of diluted bitumen may require different response actions or equipment," the letter stated. "These spills can also have different impacts than spills of conventional oil."
Nebraska's response
The State Department's assessment represents its second go-round with the Canadian company. It originally rejected a permit from TransCanada, last year, over the proposed route through Nebraska. TransCanada came up with a new route that the State Department approved of, but the EPA says it misses the mark.
Nebraska's Republican Gov. Dave Heineman has approved the project, and U.S. Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., has called for the Keystone XL's construction in a Republican radio address.
The pipeline "is primed to give our economy a shot in the arm and make energy more affordable -- and it won't cost the taxpayers a dime," he argued.
Terry spoke a day after an apparent pipeline rupture in the Arkansas town of Mayflower in late March, about 20 miles north of Little Rock.
Black torrents of diluted bitumen flowed through the community, forcing the evacuation of 22 homes.

SOURCE Quintessential
NAPA, Calif., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- New Age White, the original "cocktail wine" that has become famous served over ice, with a squeeze of lime, as the "Tincho," has produced more than 75 million bottles since the wine's inception in 2000.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131029/SF06382)
New Age is sold worldwide, throughout Europe, the Far East, Latin and South America, Indonesia, Canada, Russia, Japan, Israel and the Philippines, and many other countries. It debuted in the US in 2006 and exclusive importer Quintessential estimates that they will have sold close to 7 million of those bottles by the end of 2013 (estimating approximately 2 million sold in the calendar year 2013).
Serving quality wine over ice was virtually unheard of when New Age first came to the US. The concept was born from the way that one of the winery's owners, Valentin Bianchi (grandson of the founder), enjoyed drinking this effervescent blend of Torrontes and Sauvignon Blanc. His childhood nickname was "Tincho" (meaning "young Valentin"). Stephen and Dennis Kreps, the father and son co-owners of Quintessential, brought his recipe to the US and named it in his honor so that consumers could enjoy this "frizzante" chilled wine over ice with a squeeze of lime, especially during the hot summer months.
A "grassroots" campaign of tastings, supplemented with point-of-sale materials that reinforced the wine's incredible "mixability," coincidently dovetailed with the rise of the "cocktail culture" among Gen-Xers and Millennials...and captured their taste buds and sense of experimentation, when it comes to their libations. Quintessential employed professional "mixologists" to create a number of "signature" cocktails for New Age, that have been available on Quintessential's website (www.quintessentialwines.com) for the past eight years...and have been supplemented with recipes from bartenders and consumers who have become part of the "cult of New Age."
New Age White has been among the top white wine exports from Argentina, always one of the "top three" in terms of yearly sales, since 2010, according to Nielsen data. In 2012, yearly US depletions were up to 141,000 cases, with more than 150,000 cases looking likely for 2013.
As the "cocktail wine" market started to catch up to New Age, Quintessential and the winery have increased their efforts, according to Dennis Kreps, spending around $1 million between POS (case cards, shelf-talkers, neckers, "cocktail" menu cards, etc.), tastings and social media, including a New Age Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeWines) and Twitter handle (@NewAgeWine). Line extensions New Age Rose (Malbec and Merlot), and last year's introduction of New Age Red (Malbec and Bonarda) are finding their "niches" in the realm of "cocktail wines," with depletions of New Age Red expected to top out around 15,000 cases in its first full year of sales.
"Back in 2008 or 2009, people thought we were crazy when we'd be at trade or consumer tastings and we'd fill a glass with ice, squeeze in a wedge of lime, and then pour this 'fizzy' white wine over it," explains Stephen Kreps, Jr., who runs the company's California distribution arm. "But, once they tasted the 'Tincho,' they were converts. These days, more than half of those attending tastings around the country don't 'bat an eye' at our adding ice or lime, or mixing in fruit juices and other liqueurs...and many of them know that New Age is 'in the house' when they see the ice and limes at our tasting table."
Rebekah Weeman, Director of Winery and Vendor Relations for the national charity organization Wine, Woman and Shoes, says "Without question, New Age White, served with ice and lime, is almost always the most popular wine at our events. And, when our attendees – mostly women in their 20s to early 30s, and beyond – learn that it's around $12 a bottle, that fact only adds to its popularity."

Techniques For Making Successful Offers On Real Estate
Buying real estate? At first glance, this process is complex and daunting. link However, armed with the right knowledge, the process of buying real estate can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Don't be afraid, the tips in this article will help you avoid that.
Real estate agents would do well to reach out to former clients during the holiday season or the anniversary of a purchase date. By keeping in contact with them, they will remember how helpful you were when they were buying their home. End your message by reminding them you work on a referral basis, and ask them if they would be willing to refer you to their friends.
If a home is in need of many repairs and updates, it is likely to be sold at a greatly reduced price. This saves you money on your purchase, allowing you to invest extra capital into fixing your home at your own pace. You can customize your home in the way you like, as well as build equity and add value with every improvement that you make. Take the potential of a property in consideration before letting the drawback discourage you. It may be that your ideal home lies beneath some ugly wallpaper and dated cabinetry.
Be sure to find a partner you can trust to work together with, when buying expensive and large commercial property. When you have a partner who has a good financial standing and reputation, it is much easier to quality for the loan needed to purchase the property. Having a partner is a great way to ensure that you have the necessary down payment amount as well as the creditworthiness required by commercial lenders.
If you've made an offer for a house that seller didn't take, don't be discouraged, since you might find a better home. The seller might be willing to do some repairs or cover the closing costs, in order to make the sale possible.
When house hunting, you should take into account what may happen in your future. You might not have children right now, but if you are going to stay in this house for a long time and you will one day want kids, you should check out the schools that are in the area and make sure you would want your future kids to go there.
You should have a fund for unexpected costs that present themselves during the buying of property. Real estate buyers generally take into account only the amount of the down payment, relevant taxes that will be charged, and funds needed by the bank when determining closing costs. However, there are almost always local fees and other costs that can hit buyers unexpectedly. These will vary by location.
Hopefully, this article has made you realize that buying real estate is not that complicated. There is a great deal of research involved, and many questions must be asked, but in the end it is all worthwhile. Keep in mind what you have learned from this article, and allow the advice given here to guide you as you buy real estate!

'UGH! Another role play with him? I'm so tired of him, he's such an ass. Can't there be anyone better? Like Chess, or Checkers!?!?' 'Quick with the whining and let's just get started okay?' "HEY! Voice number one and number two shut up!!! I'm trying to tell my story here to Dave, alright!" Question Mark rolled his eyes under his mask and turned to a man he called Dave tied up and gagged in a chair. You see this poor man was a drug dealer, he was making and selling drugs on the famous crime lord 8-Ball's turf. Now for Question Mark this little job was easy, find and kill the person selling on 8-Ball's turf. He found these missions very boring though. 'Look I don't think the other role player is gonna care about all this bull shit.' "HEY! Voice number one shut it! I don't care what you think okay!" Question Mark shook his head picking up some papers with drawings all over them. "Geez...you can't find good made up voices anymore am I right?" He asked the man he called Dave. The man just starred at Question Mark trying to break free from the ropes that held him in the chair. Question Mark held the first piece of paper out in front of the man. On the paper was a horribly draw desert town. "You see Dave I started off in the waste lands! A desert place with the most insane psycho's and the most badass creatures you'd ever see!" He through that paper aside and showed Dave the second paper. On this paper he drew himself and some random chick killing some bandits. "ME!....and Jinx were the best mercs you could hire! We did all kinds of things! He killed bandits, monsters,....ummm shot a lot of guns. I tried getting her in bed...it didn't work out for me. 'Because your annoying?' 'Because you are disrespectful to women some times?' 'He's disrespectful to them ALL THE TIME!'
Question Mark just shook his head and ignored the voices in his head while getting rid of that paper and showing Dave another one. This had him walking away from the wastelands. "BUT THEN!!! I got bored of the waste lands so I came too....." He through that paper away and showed Dave the final picture. It was a drawing of the big city he was in now. No where near the wastelands. "THIS CITY!!! You see from what I hear, people just think I'm just a rumor. There is no man that can survive ANYTHING! Well that's not true because here I am! I'm gonna make a name for myself in this city! I'm gonna be some one!!!" 'You sound like every dumb blonde that comes to a big city! I'm gonna be famous! I'll do ANYTHING for fame! Oh really Mr? If I do that to you, you'll get me a part in that movie? Okay I'll suck your...' "WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! Let's not go there." Question Mark shouted to the voice in his head and then sddenly the doors to this warehouse were busted down. In came a bunch of men with guns ready surrounding Question Mark and the man he called Dave. "heh heh took ya guys long enough. Don't worry your boy is still alive...for now that is." A man in a nice business suit walked in and spoke up. "This is the best 8-Ball can do? Send one gas masked freak after my guy? 8-Ball won't have his turf for long...as for you...you gas mask freak I'm gonna teach you not to fuck with my men." Question Mark laughed and turned to face the man in a business suit. "First of all I didn't fuck with him...that's gross. I just told him a..." The man in the business waved his arm and his men opened up fire on Question Mark. "Ow! Oh! Ouch! AH! NOT THERE!" Question Mark fell to the ground with bullet holes riddling his body.
The man in the nice suit pulled out a knife and walked up to the man tied up in the chair and cut him free. The man stood to his feet and spoke. "Ace! Thank god your here!" This man in the business suit his name must of been Ace. Ace pulled out his gun and stuck it in the mans mouth and leaned in real close. "You failed me...if you can't sell on the streets without getting caught by this freak what's to say the police won't get you? That'll lead them to me..I don't need that. Your fired." Ace pulled the trigger blowing a hole in the back of the mans head as he fell to the ground dead. "Get rid of the bodies." He ordered his man and turned to walk away but then stopped looked down at Question Mark. "They were just rumors...looks like you can be killed." He started walking away and as he made it to the door Question Mark groaned and started to push himself up from the floor. The bullets in his body were being pushed out and the bullet holes that riddled his body started to heal. He stood there laughed and cracked his neck. "No no..they are true. The role player wanted a character who couldn't die so he made one." 'Why do you always bring up role players? You know no one has no idea what your talking about. They have no idea that they are all made up.' "So? Doesn't that make me the most sane one here voice number two?" 'No......not really.' Ace turned to see it with his own eyes. Question Mark was dead and he was very much alive. "How the fuck?...."

I -- -- until I allow funds and Boston right now mile.
Hey aria yeah shine senior editor and thank you for coming neck on the web -- I'm happy to be here case no I don't -- by surprise amusement latest -- -- say it.
On Wall Street Journal -- -- study this morning and they shown that and it's this is shocking.
That you -- making up to 205000.
Dollars a year are increasingly having trouble sending their kids to college.
Yeah yeah -- is an American families taking on more and more in debt to the tune of 33000 dollars on -- -- And three million American families out there are 151000.
In student debt so yeah number and -- Chile.
Right I mean I guess nose and the people can't get loans as easily -- nonetheless.
Costs rising huge deal.
What do you now -- is happening well.
A lot of their kids were heading off to start -- stay here now are also starting the college process of this is.
A perfect time for parents to sit with the kids and really try to make that decision as a family.
I'm and consider whether there -- certain college it's just out of your range whether it's not -- -- putting in that money for that particular education.
A lot of the other top tier state schools and who -- just as good and weigh less expensive debt -- those brand name ivy -- where you're paying you know 50000 dollars a year.
Four and we're really -- name.
So decided Larry how are you wanna go how are you want to travel.
On whether it's worth living at home for a lot of kids that savings is definitely worth.
So the college stream is quickly changing from many people you know as the real cost of attending -- Is also changing here's some in the number -- -- you guys now if you look at the 2009 to 2010 academic year.
That an average cost at a public institution four year degree.
Only wants thirteen thousand dollars and 32000.
And a private institutions and doesn't numbers and it really high and if you and -- and -- big weight increased.
About 30%.
Even the kids really need to -- not just where they wanna go but what they want to study.
And college is -- time for experimentation.
I mean take underwater basket weaving if you can't it's not going to be able to ones are holding -- on the job and a mortgage and everything we can't let you can't guess based on what you think your kids want to study.
Roughly how much they'll be making -- year once they graduate.
And then you can have a baseline from which to decide how much of that you wanna dedicates paid back tomorrow.
Are you sends another -- are you saying that may be more senior high school seniors should know what they want -- major and ballpark idea -- you really wanna go a long way -- know really I'm gonna be earning a lot right away and I don't know I was just speaking -- high school couple months ago.
Yen are now listening complained that the parents and his -- -- like.
He doesn't know she doesn't know which wants to do I can't fault them for so what do we do in the meantime -- -- in the end.
Well -- got it spot you don't need.
You know exactly where you wanna go -- you don't even declare your major actually junior year.
So of -- college.
So that you can get a general idea of roughly how much you make spring -- is 35 grand a year reasonable use sixty grand a year reasonable -- it's forty grander Erie reasonable and decide how much of that you want to dedicate to college round loan repayment.
And then working there if you had X amount to repay the loan once you graduate how much money can you buyouts that -- What are some other -- -- give us on cutting down on college expenses.
Well one way is kinda it.
Kind of chilling also if you figure out how much all for years and cost -- and then make a payment plans starting right up at the bet that at the back so that you be paying it as you go compact when you graduate you'll have a lot less of the principal to deal let's.
You can also a lot of work out those figures and get exactly what you need planned to work while you're in school plan to apply for scholarships.
Work study programs.
And try to minimize the amount you want to borrow.
There -- also different types of loans that are better for different types of family mean -- that big government loans tend to be better because they have lower interest rates and more flexible repayment terms.
Private loans are putting in on a credit card which some people still allow bad idea because then you're paying really high interest rates and you might not make enough to pay it off in -- shorten up.
Time I guess people did advocacy again miles and -- and -- who do you.
I like candidate I'm.
Always -- MI parents pay for college but I know that and on the credit card lending business couple of -- vacations off that.
I don't yet know that that's a good point and up -- something to watch out for until we make love love the fact that more parents are shouldering the burden of paying for college on to.
Their costs.
-- moon on the one hand I think here you're learning how to be an adult and managing your budget your finances as part of that.
And I put myself through school so it's doable -- it's not always easy that it's very doable.
I think that kids and their parents should sit down and have a very honest discussion about what's expected from each party.
How much did -- kids expect their parents to pay how much can the parents -- leak.
-- into their education.
And -- think there's the balance between those two things.
This -- for in a pristine institutions for the I really -- colleges and universities and great reputations are hard to get entail.
Are we gonna see and I know last -- the number mom.
Applicants was up dramatically and many of them but -- CNN start to taper off as many Smart rolling kids are saying I can't afford us.
To an extent -- just keep in mind for those those top tier Ivy League schools.
They're getting more applications -- -- not necessarily taking more students.
So it's not that the 1%.
The -- highest achievers city schools are no longer able to apply they're they're competing against all the other top and students at all the other schools.
So I'm not sure that that's going to change so much.
But I do think that people are becoming very very schools sappy.
They're realizing that some of the non top tier schools the second and third tier that are also charging 5060000.
-- -- -- may not be worth that money.
If you're -- if you're racking up -- -- -- for a well it's funny -- thousand dollars worth of debt -- year.
And you're gonna graduate and only be making 30000 dollars -- that investment may not pay off.
Now let -- stay with me I just wanna go into the -- right now analyst at -- and I really is overrated.
And limited an application there are many good and grade education institutions that are much cheaper.
And -- -- the graduate better regional connections like the University of Florida.
They're highly regarded in the south.
He says he's making that point.
That we just name and then David Larson writes an almost all the colleges are out of people's price range -- -- government.
Blitz helped make the costs go up plus the colleges don't spend their money and -- but spending it to give them the spring vacation feeling.
All year long -- pretty dismal -- -- I think it does depend on the school a lot of schools have students who are painful break and so they're catering to those students by making it very luxurious experience month or other students who aren't in that situation and they're looking to find the best value for their money right.
Tim -- or do you have any instances of admission committees and boards who accepts students who they know that they could pay -- -- yes I think that happens a lot because it's big schools have endowments but they also make money on tuition -- they get the money with which to -- -- campus.
By Aaron by paying people to pay tuition.
Him well Alfonse Yahoo! shine senior editor thank you for coming on and sharing.
That's pretty -- morning as the high paying college and then of course to graduate school assessment everybody's trying to do these days straight.
-- plans -- Pratt school.

G'day ladies and gents! This is the story of my quest to become a fitness model, its something ive always wanted (and thanks to being an idiot in high school and a reluctance to commit 4-6 years of my life to uni degree im not even sure i want, one of the few jobs available to me that can pay good money). That being said i wont be able to comment on supplements etc im taking to achieve this goal, so i mean no disrespect but if i get asked questions about the fore-mentioned ill have to ignore them. Im currently recovering from a shoulder reconstruction in February and my shoulders healed to the point where, while still needing stretching, is stable in the socket and can handle weight training. It's been almost a year since ive worked it and my first lifts have shown the effect of time off. I also have suspected lateral compartment syndrome in my calves (will be getting tested next week) as well as lactic (overtight) hamstrings, so doing cardio is near impossible for me at this time. I look forward to taking as many people that i can on this journey, and hopefully it'll add some excitement to the drab dieting and (initially) disappointing lifts. Im also in competition with Lukef2000
Intro aside, i'll be doing up weekly posts, where a single post will consist of a week's progress which will be updated daily, to save you guys from scrolling down the pages. I've had my starting pics professionally taken and i was told that they shall arrive in the next few days. pics will only be updated after my 90 day transformation however, in interests of securing a sponsorship. I'll also post up pics of my meals for posterity as well as reviews on my weight training sessions.
Height: 190cm/6ft 3
Weight: 92kg/202lbs
Diet: High protein & very low carb and plenty of green veggies - will be switching to IF 6 weeks into the cut.
Staple Meals:
* Meal 1: 50g protein powder, 200ml lite milk, apple & banana
* Meal 2: 200g Tuna Omelet with 3 XL eggs, 1 serving of fresh green veggies + 1 carrot
* Meal 3: 250g pan-fried Basa fillets, 1 serving of fresh green veggies + 1 carrot
* Meal 4: 220-320g Chicken Breast Fillet (depending on the size of it from coles), 1 serving of fresh green veggies + 1 carrot
I also have either 300g lean beef mince or 250g Kangaroo steak or 4 lean mince beef patties with the usual serving of veggies , as well as a pre & post workout during the days i workout.

Salmon Fingerlings at Seattle Aquarium by Liz Lawley |
Water Supply and Conservation It may not seem like it given the rainy weather, but Seattle's water supply is limited and depends upon a variety of factors, like the amount of snowpack in the mountains. Snow meltoff also supports creek, lake and Puget Sound habitats, so it is vital that we conserve water, especially during Seattle's dry summers. The City and Seattle residents have made great strides in saving water. From 1990 to 2008, total regional water consumption decreased from 170 million gallons per day to 123, a 28 percent decrease, while population increased by 18 percent during the same period. Since our region will continue to grow, and snowpack will likely decrease as an impact of climate change, we encourage everyone to continue striving to lower water usage where possible. Water Smart Technology Program – Rebates and technical assistance for commercial, institutional and industrial customers Saving Water Partnership - Seattle Public Utilities collaborates with 17 other water utilities in the Saving Water Partnership.

Tace Morgan attends annual Scout Association parliamentary reception
6:40pm Sunday 1st July 2012 in Local news
An Explorer Scout from Wharfedale has been welcomed to Westminster as part of a national event.
MP Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) greeted Tace Morgan, a young leader with the 2nd Otley Beaver Colony, to the annual Scout Association parliamentary reception in Speaker's House last week.
Co-hosted by the House of Commons Speaker John Bercow MP and the All-Party Group on Scouting, the event enabled MPs to meet Scouts from their constituencies and hear about the work of troops in their areas.
Mr Mulhollland, who was made an Honorary Scout by Otley Parish Scouts in 2010, spoke to Tace – who recently achieved the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award – and a West Yorkshire Scout leader, Mark Pullen.
Tace said: "The event was a tremendous opportunity for us to be able to meet our MPs and to have the chance to explain the good things about Scouting for young people.
"In Otley, the completion of the extension to the HQ building in Craven Street has created the Chevin Community Centre to provide a new facility for the community. I also had the chance to show how Scouting has moved forward, and is no longer just for boys.
"It was an amazing experience to see inside the Palace of Westminster and the Speaker's apartments, and it was made all the more memorable by having afternoon tea overlooking the Thames, and discussing Scouting, with my MP."
Tace hopes to soon complete Scouting's top accolade – the Queen's Scout Award – and will next year join Scouts from across the globe at the 14th World Scout Moot in Canada.
Mr Mulholland, who rallied parliam-entary backing for an expedition to the Himalayas by West Yorkshire Scouts two years ago, said: "It was great to meet Scouts from the constituency; it is only right the work they do is recognised in Parliament, and I'm glad so many of my colleagues were able to hear from Scouts from their constituencies.
"As an Honorary Scout – a title of which I am proud – I join the calls made last week for more adult leaders and volunteers to come forward and help, so the thousands of young people who understandably want to join the Scouts can get on board."

No. 2 — UA beats No. 1 Washington as it expected with dominant Desert Swarm
Thursday, August 30th, 2012In the 50 days leading up to Arizona's season-opener against Toledo, on Sept. 1 at Arizona Stadium, TucsonCitizen.com and its affiliate WildAboutAZCats.net will rank the Top 50 games in the history of the football program. The ranking is at No. 2 as the kickoff to the Wildcats' season — and the start of the Rich Rodriguez era — is only two days away.
SCORE: No. 12 Arizona Wildcats 16, No. 1 Washington Huskies 3
DATE: November 7, 1992
SITE: Arizona Stadium, 58,510 in attendance
WHY IT MADE THE LIST: The definitive voice of college football broadcasts — Keith Jackson — punctuated the ABC-TV telecast of Arizona's dominating 1992 win over No. 1 Washington this way:
"And now you know why they play the games …"
But was the one-sided victory really an upset?
"I don't think it was an upset," Arizona coach Dick Tomey said after the game. "We expected to win."
Another translation to Jackson's comment: Washington had to play Arizona to realize how suffocating the Desert Swarm defense — a phenomenon in college football at the time — can be to an opponent's offense. Considering Arizona's four-game winning streak entering the game after a near-upset of No. 1 Miami on the road, and the way the Wildcats shut down the Huskies, was anybody surprised the UA won?
Washington was ranked No. 1 with an incredible 22-game winning streak, but anybody who followed college football closely that season knew Arizona belonged on the same field. The Desert Swarm was No. 1 in the nation against the run and No. 4 overall.
"I've never been more confident going into a game," Tomey said.
This statement coming from a coach whose team less than two months earlier tied an Oregon State club that finished 1-9-1. Washington beat its first eight opponents in 1992 by an average margin of 20.1 points. The Huskies annihilated the Wildcats 54-0 the previous season in Seattle. Still, the Wildcats believed they were the better team and who could argue?
