Amber Portwood: Pregnant Again?!by Free Britney at . Comments
Just days after reuniting with Leah, her two-year-old girl, Teen Mom's Amber Portwood discovered she's getting her an extra-special gift this Christmas:
A sibling! She's pregnant again, according to Star!
We know, we know. It's Star. Generally nonsense. But the celeb news magazine claims she took a home pregnancy test December 4 ... and it's positive!
TEEN MOM RELOADED? Amber was NOT happy when she found out!
"Amber is scared to death about what's to come," an insider says. "She adores Leah, but she doesn't really want to be tied down with another baby."
The 20-year-old almost saw her cover blown Friday when she had her first bout of morning sickness. Luckily, boyfriend Clinton Yunker didn't catch on.
"He'll freak if she's pregnant," said the source.
Then there's the million-dollar question. In addition to being engaged and breaking up with Gary Shirley constantly, Amber Portwood has also been with Yunker ... and some other dudes. If this pregnancy's real, the dad's ID is anyone's guess!
She's pulling for Gary, though, because they're "meant to be together." Maybe so, but imagine the beating he'll take for not using protection ...
'Luckyme' - You make me laugh! You call the other people on here ignorant just because you supposedly attend Penn State and are getting a Bachelor's Degree. Which by the way.. if you're trying to get your Bachelor's.. you should probably learn to spell it correctly. And if you are going to call other people 'ignorant'.. you shouldn't speak like an idiot. You sound like a ghetto bitch on here.. you could seriously use a brush up on proper English. Especially if you're going to be in Criminal Justice. Pretty sure no one wants a ghetto talking bitch to represent them.. You've only embarrassed yourself on this site. Just saying.
frist of all people need to stop talking shit about her and her house and nasty the law says that u have to food water and heat in your house.. and who cares how she raiser her daught its her life u all dont have babies you dont know how it is like....
If yaw can read n understand luckyme is right and how you gonna call her ingorant and dumb who do you know has a scholarship fresh outta highschool n two amber is a grown ass woman that's her pussy and if you ain't fucking her stop with all the negative comments that's all I have to say like yaw really some haters lucky is right if yaw can't handle the topic then shut the fuck up and I'm from the hood and I go to strayer say some about that...
First off I did not say go kill ya self I said I'll tell you some shit that will make you kill ya self ain't no body bullying no body how am I ignorant when yaw bashing that's making a lot more money then we are or will ever make 45,000 per episode like c'om yaw the ignorant one on hertalking bout how dumb she is and blah blah basically it's really not her fault her parent treated her like an adult from the gate and bitch I wish I was from the hood never that.....honey you should only speak when your spoken to jen cause it was between me n her not you :)
WHAT A WHORE!!!!!!!! Jeez, cross your legs if you dont want another baby! Jeepers!
If she doesn't want it why doesn't she get an abortion? That's what's it for.
@luckyme wow.....u sure as hell dont talk like u graduated with a 4.0 to me it sounds like u just came out the hood talking about shes a grown ass woman...u must cant read???? that dont make no sense dumbass and ur studying criminal justice u should know how to talk to people without sounding ignorant first before u come online talking about all ur so called accomplishments and making yourself look like a even bigger fool... and for amber she is nuts ya ya ya everyone goes through shit and no one knows what the next person is going thru but she broadcasted the shit on tv she showed everyone what she was really like a crazy slut leah needs to be with someone who will show her love and care for her not beat her dad up in front of her and them argueing every minute of everyday..i was 18 when i had my son and i would never in a million years act like that my son is my life its a shame a lot of people dont see what a blessing children are n stay stuck in their childish ways
WOW!!! Some of the comments on here!
@Luckyme - Someone who says they graduated high school with a 4.0 and is at Penn State with a 3.98, you sure must be lying! You make NO sense when you speak, your ignorant and your just a MORON!!! Grow up and stop attacking people! Telling some girl your going to make her kill herself from what you say on here? Are you serious??? Shut up you idiot!!! STOP BULLYING!!!!! STOP BULLYING!!!!! People like you make me sick and SHOULD NOT be allowed to have access to the internet or interaction with people! Anyways, back to Amber! I do NOT believe that this article is true! Until I hear it from her on TV or see a baby bump, I will NOT believe this! Yes this girl has issues and she is dumb, she makes they quite obvious, however, I just can't see someone being that irresponsible especially with everything she is facing! Amber, I am praying this is NOT true! You DO NOT need another baby!
All I can say is this child, and 20 years old or not she is a child, needs to learn proper condom usage. There is no way birth control pills are going to work since she can't even remember who she is sleeping with I highly doubt she can remember to take a pill everyday. What I cannot understand is why does she have baby back? She is charged with not just domestic violence but FELONY domestic violence, what is the state thinking giving her back an innocent child. Did they not watch every episode, like her tossing her in a NASTY crib to cry, for God only knows how long until Gary came in. Did the state not see how gross her house is, she can't even manage to clean up after one child and now there is another one coming. All I can say is when the state calls Gary and tells him his daughter has been abused by Amber he should sue the hell out of them! It is so sad that it is the child(ren) who will suffer for the states mistakes!
@sisbro whatever your damn name is bitch step ya cookies up graduated from highschool 4.0 have a scholoarship I attend to penn state university 3.98 working on my bacholar's degree in criminal justice . Now who's dumb you fuckin retart.you must can't read if you can't comprehend on what I'm saying.don't come at me on some kid shit cause you behind a computer screen I'll say some shit that will make you kill ya self....all of act like ya fucking her like come on she a grown ass woman now so the hell what...

I've thought about getting a BodyBugg for a long time but haven't due to the $$. I think I really need something like that though that will calculate how many calories I actually am burning a day. I have a desk/computer/office job but I get up and walk around the office a decent amount most days. I'm also a mom of 2 (7 & 4) and I feel like I'm going non-stop from the time I get home just doing normal daily activities (fixing supper, getting things ready for the next day, fixing lunches, giving baths, light housekeeping, etc.) I don't feel like anything I'm doing is burning a lot of calories and usually set my activity levels at sedentary or light activity. The last 3 days though I've eaten more than my low end calorie goal (1276, goal to lose 2lbs/wk) 1340 one day and over 1700 the other 2 days (but not over my 1776 high end goal to lose 1lb/wk) but I've been starving, stomach literally growling! I drank 8 glasses of water on Wed, only 5 yesterday but I've had over 10 today. At the beginning of the week (Sun-Tues) I ate around my low calorie goal (1276) and didn't drink near as much water and in those 3 days I lost 1.8 lbs. This morning I was back up 1.6 (I know it could just be fluctuating) but I wasn't hungry. I don't get it, obviously I'm eating more because I am hungry but I'm still hungry and not mental hungry, I'm not craving anything, my stomach is just growling. It all seems so backwards so I'm wondering if I'm possibly burning more calories than I think???
So back to my original question, does anyone know of a cheaper device than the BodyBugg that will tell me how many calories I'm actually burning?
I'm hoping the weight thing is just a fluctuation and I'll be back down this weekend. It's really frustrating feeling like I should be eating less calories to lose the weight (like I was at the beginning of the week) but knowing that I'm starving when I'm eating 500 calories more!

your weight will fluctuate daily , however keep in mind that it takes 3500 calories burned or conserved to burn off 1 lb of fat. . In theory at the end of a full week just on diet management alone ( if you maintained your limits) you should lose 2 lbs a week. If you are are active ...those calories will be burned off as well , leading to more weight loss in a given week,

Not sure who makes it, but there are heart rate monitors out there with pedometers to count steps. With counting steps, maybe that could be considered walking? Some other folks on here have talked about the FitBit (not sure if that is the correct name, but it's something like that). It is essentially the same as a BodyBugg, just smaller and less expensive. I guess it all comes down to just exactly what you want your device to do as to which one is right for you. I have a Polar F6 that I wear for my swimming workouts and occasionally wear for gardening.

I remember hearing or reading about the FitBit thing somewhere, forgot all about it though and what it was called. Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to look into that. I thought I'd seen some people on here talking about heart rate monitors that did something similar but not sure if maybe I misunderstood what they did.

My trainer tried to sell me a body bugg at 24 hr fitness. It counts calories but it does not have a heart rate monitor. I have a Polar HRM and use this as my tool to track my calories, avg heart rate, Max heart rate, time in zone during my workouts at the gym or while playing golf. I have been using it for 6 mos and I am very pleased with its performance vs what the cardio equipment reads at the gym. Best regards!

So glad I checked in today. I have been thinking the same thing about the bodybugg. Kind of expensive, and quite frankly I don't want to weart that thing around my arm all the time. I checked on line for the fitbit, and I am gonna try it. Looks like its $99 like someone else mentioned, and you can wear the thing in your pocked. It is backordered until mid june! Also I do have the polar 4 heart rate monitor, which I really like, but keep wondering about the all day calorie burn!

The GoFit is the same thing as the Body Bugg, but a bit cheaper, and they come with 6 months subscription...Amazon has them.

I've looked into the GoWearFit or the GoFit or whatever it is called because it does seem to be the same as the BodyBugg and cheaper but still more than I have to spend right now. I do recall the FitBits only being $99 as has already been mentioned but sucks that they are backordered. So there are heart rate monitors that will track all day calorie burn too? Can anyone give me a specific model? Does anyone know if the FItBit has a subscription like the GoWearFit and the BodyBugg? Guess I can just check the website.

The Declarative Problem Frame: Designing Systems that Create and Use Norms
Wieringa, Roel (2000) The Declarative Problem Frame: Designing Systems that Create and Use Norms. In: Tenth International Workshop on Software Specification and Design, IWSSD, 5-7 November 2000, San Diego, California, USA.
|This paper analyzes design guidelines for reactive systems that control a social environment. In contrast to a physical environment, a social environment cannot be controlled by physical calculation, but it can be controlled by symbolic interaction in combination with the appropriate norms. The paper shows that this involves three kinds of norms: the desired effects of the system, norms needed to achieve these effects, and norms for the subject domain that are independent from the system. The norms presuppose by the responses of the system include the ability of the system to act on behalf of legal persons as well as responsibilities allocated to legal persons. The analysis leads to design guidelines and a problem frame for social control by machine

All-Nighters is an exploration of insomnia, sleep and the nocturnal life.
Drip, drip, drip — that's what insomniac thoughts feel like, a leaky faucet behind the eyes. Last night the ideas were plinking; forehead-pounding regrets over past deeds, horrid fantasies, car crashes of expectations, unrealizable longings. It's sheer torture. I don't deserve it! Drip: Or maybe I do.
For decades, I have been spending my nights flopping around the bed and finally stomping to the medicine cabinet for anything that will put me under the waves. The story I recite to myself, often in the grips of sleep deprivation and to the rumble of garbage trucks, is that it all goes back to being awoken constantly as a kid by parents battling like Vikings in the living room.
I have done my share of meditation in that frayed state of wired exhaustion, but unlike the Romanian writer E.M. Cioran, I never learned to take serious instruction from sleeplessness. Born in Transylvania in 1911, Cioran hardly ever shut his eyes. In fact, at his death in 1995, there was exaggerated talk that he had not slept in half a century. Read more…

things are slowly getting better after what happened between me and rowan two nights ago. i'm back on my medication, he didn't call the hospital to take me away again, and we're back to sharing a bed.
but sometimes, things still feel tense or awkward between us. like he's not quite back up to trusting me. i guess i can't really blame him. would anyone trust a monster that went insane and slammed them up against a wall and choked them?
… "monster." that's what he used to call me. i can still be a monster sometimes.
it's not up to me to decide when he feels safe around me. i have to try and be patient, and even though i know that, it's agonizing. i'm following him around even more than usual, trying to do things for him: cook, keep the apartment clean, stay quiet when he's trying to study, and watching television shows that he likes. being a good boyfriend is kind of hard.
he's out tonight, he has class and a study group after that. i'm lonely, so if anyone out there reading this is lonely like me, maybe we could be lonely together.
i haven't blogged anything in so long. my words are nothing. they mean nothing and no one is around to hear them. except rowan. always rowan. but even my words to him, my most important person…they are meaningless.
i say, "i won't hurt you again."
but the sickness grips me, the demons find me, and i hurt him.
i say, "i'll never forget you."
but the paranoia twists my reality into not knowing his face.
the doctors are still trying to fix me. i just keep waiting for them to succeed.
dark day. bad day. bad bad bad day.
i slept almost the entire day. just to keep away my demons. they were assaulting me from all sides. all over the place. in my ears, in my eyes, in my stomach, in my brain.
things in my head are so loud. screaming whispers. and when i look in the mirror, i see blood leaking from my ears. soaking my hair. i can feel it, wet and sticky and…it makes me want to vomit.
rowan said, no. it's not there. you're seeing things. hearing things. feeling things.
i cried. i wanted to hurt myself. him. everything and everyone.
bad day.

A pre-emergence herbicide application will help keep late-emerging weeds small and uniform enough in height to boost odds for success when following up with a post-emergence treatment. Using a pre-emergence herbicide buys you more time to apply your post-emergence herbicide for optimal weed control," he says.
In addition, a pre-emergence herbicide can be an especially good investment with irrigation, which ensures moisture is available at the right time to activate the chemistry. When dealing with dry land cornfields using a residual pre-emergence program will still be beneficial in reducing potential problems with glyphosate-resistant weeds, even if a lack of rainfall delays activation past the ideal time for starting corn out in clean fields.
Timing is everything.
The main management focus should be on controlling those early weeds. Research conducted in Minnesota, and Wisconsin, shows that at about the V3-V4 stage, if weeds aren't removed, fields will suffer an average 3 bu./acre/day yield loss up until the end of June. In fact, farmers should plan to have all their weed control completed by the Fourth of July.
Timing is important for both post- and pre-emergent applications. For pre-emergent herbicide applications, try to time them closer to when you plant, especially if you have a weed spectrum in the field that can emerge later in the season, such as waterhemp.
Weeds that re-infest after an initial herbicide application can also be very competitive. The SDSU recommends being vigilant to control these later weed flushes, if necessary, while they are also still small.
Avoid reduced rates.
Many farmers run reduced herbicide rates of soil-residual herbicides to save costs. However, with reduced rates, you may be setting the product up to fail earlier, depending on weather conditions and weed pressure. Using a full, or a nearly full rate based on soil type often provides an extended period of weed control that you don't always have with reduced rates.
Especially in the post-emergence arena, good early season weed control has a lot to do with proper timing and not skimping on rates. Also, when you do post-emergence weed control, make sure you don't go too fast and check to make sure you're getting good spray coverage on weeds."
Scout and reassess.
After each weed-control practice, producers need to scout fields and evaluate how well their treatment worked and whether or not a remedial treatment might be needed.

Union Plaza535 Arastradero Rd # 101, Palo Alto, CA 94306
09/10/14 by anonymous: I lived in a studio apt in this community with my spouse for seven months and I really liked it. The studio is spacious with lots of closets, large kitchen, and a very nice counter top. The complex manager is a very helpful and courteous person and will do her best to make you love the place. My monthly rent was slightly reduced because of a construction project that was going on, otherwise I may more
The Marc Palo Alto (formerly Forest Towers Apartments)501 Forest Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94301
03/12/14 by anonymous: The Marc is a high-end, luxury apartment building just off University Avenue in the heart of Palo Alto. It is actively managed by an attentive and responsive staff. It has great amenities -- pool, large public spaces, BBQ, exercise room, on-site yoga classes in their studio, underground parking, private garden and more. The units are laid out well, more
Parker Palo Alto (formerly Park Village Apartments)1094 Tanland Drive, Palo Alto, CA 94303

Tan Plaza Continental580 Arastradero Rd, Palo Alto, CA 94306
02/26/12 by anonymous: I totally agreed with the review posted by the user in 2011. I thought this is a gated community and consider it the safest place to call home with young kids. Huge mistake! Instead of taking measurements, and keeping residents informed on the look out for suspicious activity, they chose to swipe things under the rug and cover it up. that doesn't take long before the criminal striked more
Merrilee Terrace Apartments443 Ventura Ave # 10, Palo Alto, CA 94306
02/11/12 by anonymous: We've lived here about 6 months now, taking a risk to sign a lease while we were long distance and had not seen the place in person. I was more than happy when we moved in. The apartments were kept in nice condition, the closet space was significantly more than I had anticipated, and overall everything was pretty spacious. The rent was also better than I had seen with other more
Stanford West Apartments700 Clark Way, Palo Alto, CA 94304
03/19/14 by sweetd_cali: I've lived in a couple other apartments in Palo Alto, both near downtown, tiny and overpriced with none of the amenities that you can get at Stanford West. My last apartment was an old jr. 1 bedroom (more like a studio) with no parking and a kitchen just like Harry Potter's room (seriously it was tiny and built under the stairs). The person renting there is now paying $2050 more

Boardwalk Park Place Apartments3875 Park Boulevard, Palo Alto, CA 94306
07/05/10 by anonymous: The woman who manages the property is unbelievably rude and difficult to work with. I don't know who hired her but she is the worst apartment staff I have ever had to deal with and every time I leave the apartment I cross my fingers that I don't run into her. The noise here is TERRIBLE. You can hear every conversation of the people who live above and next to you. Anytime someone even more

It is not surprising that Norwich University's first online degree completion program, the Bachelor of Science in Strategic Studies and Defense Analysis, is offered exclusively to active duty, retired, and reserve military personnel who are assigned to USSOCOM. The reputation of Norwich University is built not only on the quality of instruction, but also on the legacy of nearly 200 years of graduates. Our graduates are noted for their leadership and service to the nation, and we take our mission to educate in order to help them advance in the battlefield, boardroom, and beyond very seriously.
An academic credential, such as a bachelor's degree, has become critically important for career advancement in both the military and the civilian world. As one recent alumnus, James Karr, put it, recruiters and employers in the private sector are reluctant to consider job candidates without this "piece of paper," in spite of their training and many accomplishments within the military. This is exactly where the program fits in. The online Strategic Studies and Defense Analysis degree completion program was inspired to capitalize on the unique experiences and training of SOF (Special Operations Forces) at the Special Warfare Center and School (SWCS) at Fort Bragg, NC, and to complement them, helping our students complete their formal education and prepare them for the future - whether it's advancement within their command or transitioning to a new career in the private sector or public service.
Our first class of 7 bachelor's degree completion students graduated in June of 2012. In talking with recent graduates who attended the commencement ceremony in Vermont, it was clear they felt the Strategic Studies and Defense Analysis degree from Norwich University was relevant to their work in the military and would help facilitate career advancement and transition opportunities.
Paul Caron, SSDA alumnus, describes it in this way:
"In today's military, pursuing a degree while serving can be a daunting task, but by achieving this, I felt it would greatly separate me from my peers. In order to become a multidimensional leader in today's Army, I knew that pursuing my degree was a must. Obtaining this degree from Norwich University would ensure that I was set up for success after the Army."
A number of attractive career paths may be considered by members of Special Operations armed with a degree in Strategic Studies and Defense Analysis.

Sun-Room conservatory ceilings are custom-built so that they retain the internal shape and style of your conservatory. This way, its character is not compromised and only minimal ceiling height is lost.
Sun-room use only the lightest materials to avoid any unnecessary stress on the existing roof. Because of this, no extra structural work is needed and we will finish the installation within a day – minimum fuss.
For most conservatory owners, being able to read a book or watch the television is not an option due to the strain on their eyes. An insulated conservatory ceiling allows you to do it at a comfortable temperature in the lightest room in your house.
Sun-Room is a friendly, specialist company that fits beautiful insulated conservatory ceilings into your existing conservatory, transforming it into an all-year-round usable room.
Besides enhancing its appearance, our ceiling products will help keep your conservatory warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. We are members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen (membership number: A119380) and our team of fitters have extensive experience in the building and interior design trade.

Because our conservatory ceiling insulation is a government-approved energy saving material, Sun-Room is able to charge the reduced VAT rate of 5%. This lower rate applies to the installation work itself as well as the materials – saving you a significant amount of money. Reference: HMRC
Absolutely delighted with the installation, we can now use the conservatory in this really cold weather. Very professional installation guys, they were efficient and it was all done within one day as quoted (even though we are in the North East). Excellent service and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
We are both delighted with the insulated ceiling in our conservatory. It has changed the look and now makes the room much more "usable". The insulation has been very effective and energy efficient. Pass our gratitude to the two installers for a quick professional job and their tidy appearance and lack of portable radio!!
A huge thank you to Nick and the team for superb service, workmanship and product! The addition of the insulated ceiling means we now have a lovely sun-room which we can use all year round. We would recommend this company to anyone considering installing an insulated ceiling

When I'm dancing like
and some creep comes up behind me and dances like
And I turn around like
And he's like
And I'm like
And I walk away like
And he play's it off like
and then I see a fine shawdy dancing like
And I'm like
and I go over to him and we start dancing like
and then a bad ass song comes on, and we're like
And the rejected guy looks at me like
And I'm like
and he's like
and I'm like
This is one of my favorite GIF stories I think I've ever seen.
I'm sorry, I'm sure you have a very cool blog but I'm not the least bit a fan of Eminem. I just really liked him in that song, but I will however urge the few followers I have to check your blog out and follow if they like Eminem!
I'm like:
"who needs on of those."
But on the inside im like:
Mom: Aren't your jeans too tight?
Me: They weren't too tight the past three times you asked. Why would they be any different now?
My moms got the goods!
I love you mom!
"The black devil"? Really…seriously…
Hahahaha!!! I was reading comments on a youtube video the other day and since that seems to be the only place where backwards ass conservative fuck holes can express their latent frustration with the negro population, I wasn't too surprised when I saw a conversation that led to a user, who was clearly African American, being told that the negro's are the Devil's minions on Earth and us 'black devils' are gonna be responsible for the apocalypse. I am to the point where something like this can't even come close to offending me anymore, really it just makes me laugh…. BUT amidst all that hate I was inspired to change my tumblr name to something indicative of my people and our role on this planet. I'm proud to be an African American and a spawn of Satan…. :)
I like you.
I just met a guy last night who reminded me of how much I enjoy carrying on conversations with people who can keep them going.
Most of the time it's like
But then you have your moments & now, it's like
The latter is only when I'm horny… Just sayin.

What the title says really - noticed I (and at least a few others around the site) haven't been able to use the quote feature in threads lately. Just wanted to let mods know
19 November 2013 - 06:31 PM
I've been using the regimen for nearly 5 months but have only used AHA occasionally in this time. Whenever I use it often (especially if in consecutive days) I find that it makes my skin quite dry and flaky - and flakes / dryness is normally under control for me unless I used more BP than normal.
It's only like this around my nose and mouth but it's a really uncomfortable dry feeling and makes my lips feel really dry too (not flaky or anything just dry / uncomfortable - and I'm not putting AHA there). I'm also still breaking out on the regimen anyway, but I think AHA might cause me to break out a little too. Not sure yet though - but could this be possible? Do some people breakout from AHA?
Is there an adjustment period with AHA? should I just push through this dry / flaky / uncomfortable / tight / leathery feeling that it seems to cause me and hope my skin adjusts and feels normal while using AHA after awhile?
24 October 2013 - 06:58 PM
I've just come across the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse foundation and the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation and was wondering if anyone has used these and what they think of them.
The major appeal of them to me is that they have some really light shades - I swatched them at a store yesterday and was really surprised at the shades available! It's always hard for me to find a good foundation that is pale enough (and isn't orange / doesn't oxidize to orange) and covers well.
So I am thinking of going back and buying one or both of those foundations but I'd like to get some opinions of them. Especially relating to the coverage they give. I have quite a bit of PIH that I'd like to cover well enough, if not fully. I've tried looking for reviews but they all seem pretty mixed - some saying the coverage is super sheer, others saying it's buildable to full for both foundations...
So I'd really like to hear your opinions on these
25 July 2013 - 09:33 PM
I'm coming to the end of my fourth week on the regimen and I want to add AHA in to my routine at some point. I still have acne and am still breaking out - though my breakouts are less frequent and are usually small whiteheads now but I've still got a few papule type spots on my chin and jaw.
Should I wait until my skin is clear before adding in AHA? And does AHA replace moisturiser?
Also, are there any store bought alternatives to Dan's AHA? The closest thing I have to it is a product that has AHA and BHA and is marketed toward fading acne scars. I haven't used it yet and bought it before I realised it had BHA in it... I'm probably going to try it at some point but if anyone knows of better alternatives to AHA that I can find in stores, it would be great if you could let me know

Chocolate Coconut Chia Pudding
I don't know about you but for me as a nurse, leaving the house sometimes before it's even light outside, the last thing I want to do is worry about preparing my lunch for the day. I just want to get ready and go! So, this chia pudding is perfect for that kinda morning. It is so easy to make, so versatile and so healthy that you just can't go wrong! This particular recipe requires only three ingredients so it is super simple and quick to make. I usually will make chia pudding the night before, since the seeds need to soak anyway, then in the morning it is all ready to go and all I need to do is throw it in my bag as I'm running out the door. Can't get any easier than that, it takes longer going to a fast food chain waiting in line!….Please don't go to fast food…this is fast food! The great thing about chia pudding is that it keeps you feeling satisfied for hours. Chia seeds are filled with fiber and protein, and when they are soaked they hold up to 9 times their weight in water so with little calories they keep you feeling filled.
I love to top mine with fresh fruit. Now that strawberries are in season, I have been buying them by the flat so I have been making strawberry everything! So what goes better with that chocolatey taste than fresh, sweet strawberries? If you have never tasted in-season, ripe, organic strawberries from the local farmers' market I'm telling you, you have not lived lol. There is no comparison to the fruit there with that in the stores. Better than any candy you could ever taste.
I use carob as an alternative to cacao because it does not contain the caffeine or theobromine that cacao does which are very addictive and stimulating. It has a natural mild sweetness to it, but I am going to be very honest it is not exactly like chocolate, so you can't expect that. However, it tastes great and with the color resembling chocolate it really does the trick if you're craving chocolate. You can buy carob at any health food store, I usually get mine from Whole Foods or Sprouts if you have one of those near by.
Servings 1
1 young Thai coconut, flesh and water of (it's about a cup of each)
2 Tbsp toasted Carob powder
2 Tbsp Chia seeds
1 carton of strawberries (or fruit of choice)
Blend the coconut meat and water together until it becomes creamy and smooth, add the carob and blend until it is mixed in well. Pour into a small glass jar and add the chia stirring well for at least a minute or until it starts thickening. Make sure to stir in well otherwise the chia turns into clumps. Let sit for a minimum of 15 minutes or even overnight in the refrigerator. When ready to eat top with fresh fruit.
This will keep in a air-tight sealed jar for about two to three days.
Rawmazing benefits of Chia seeds:
- These bad boys are a dieters dream! When chia seeds are exposed to water they form a gel, holding up to nine times their weight and size. These seeds can be made to taste like whatever you want. Since the gel is made of water it has no calories (other than the Chia seeds), so you feel satisfied and full for hours, without the calories!
- Chia seeds keep your bowels regular. Chia is high in soluble and insoluble fiber helping decrease constipation.
- Chia is the richest plant source of omega-3 oil. Omega-3 is important in healthy heart and brain function.
- Chia has five times the calcium of milk, plus boron which is a trace mineral that helps transfer calcium into your bones.
- Chia seeds are one of the highest plant-based sources of complete protein which makes you feel more energized giving you that "pick-me up" when you need. So dump the coffee and the cola's and try some Chia!
10 Responses to Chocolate Coconut Chia Pudding
Yumm!!! Can't wait to try this one. I LOVE carob. It may sound weird to many people but I prefer carob to chocolate. It always feels like a good food to eat, emphasis on food rather than a treat. The carob I get comes in a package that says it is imported from Italy. Gotta like that.
I can't wait to try this! And, THANK YOU for breaking down the health benefits of chia. They're not just for gag gifts at Christmas!
I want to try this I have the chia seeds,but could not remember how to use it .lol chia sounds like it would be good for bone problems .
If I can't find a place to buy coconuts should I just do coconut water?

What is a health insurance exchange?
The Bankrate.com financial term of the day is: "Health Insurance Exchange."
A health insurance exchange is an online health insurance marketplace required for each state and the District of Columbia under health care reform. The exchanges are supposed to make it easy for individuals and small businesses to compare health plans and find coverage that fits their budget.
Your state's health insurance exchange may be operated by the state or by the federal government. You can use the exchange to shop for a plan and see if you are eligible for a federal tax subsidy to help pay your premium or if you qualify for a government safety-net program such as Medicaid.

The NHL has a lot of problems, one of the biggest problems may be the amount of control players have. The most recent example Linus Omark formerly of the Buffalo Sabres; Omark was placed on waivers by Buffalo, but wouldn't report to the Sabres AHL affiliate. That move ended Omark's current attempt to play in the NHL. Luckily for the Sabres they only gave up a conditional sixth round pick for Linus.
As reported by several different media outlets, this is not the first time Omark's NHL bid has fallen short. While with the Edmonton Oilers Omark ran away to Europe due to a contract dispute (Fansided.com). It seems like Omark doesn't have the game or mental ability to hang with the big boys in the NHL.
There is nothing wrong with going home to play professional hockey; my problem is the way Omark went about it. It was immature, and childish. At 27-years-old there was little time left for Omark to leave his mark on the NHL. I say good for the Sabres for not putting up with this kind of behavior.
But, does this put pressure on other NHL teams? It could start a trend of player running for easier pastures on the bigger ice surfaces of the international leagues. What Omark did was show that if things are not working out the way you want just walk away Sure, Buffalo could have kept him under contract and fought the losing battle for what turned out to be an AHL talent. There is no denying that the Sabres did the right thing.
It really comes down to this; Omark wanted total control of his career. Player need to remember playing in the NHL is a job. You cannot always pick and choose how you will be used, and I feel that is where the NHL needs to right the ship. Players are given too much control. As the contract money goes up; so will players egos. At some point the NHL and the owners need to take some control of their game. They need to send a message to the talent, and Buffalo did just that.
The NHL is really better off without Omark in the league. Having players that cannot compete hurts the product. Maybe the NHL should thank Buffalo for showing other teams its okay to cut a play loses. It's time for players to grow up.

It's bad enough that the big budget blockbusters clog up the movie screens down at your local theater, but they also are running up the ticket prices. It's difficult enough to compete against the behemoths. They will slaughter their smaller opponents every time and, in this day and age where money legitimizes a film, it makes a smaller film's chances of survival all the more slim. Cinema needs the smaller films much more than it does the behemoths. They are vital to the continuing health of the movie industry. After all, a successful army isn't made up of just generals.
Manny Farber, noted film critic, coined the phrase "termite art" to describe smaller films. He asserted that termite art is far more powerful than its counterpart, the white elephant art, i.e., the blockbusters. His assertions were that the smaller termite art was more mobile and able to adapt. What would Farber say if he saw what was going on today? Searching the internet, you find what the fourth Transformers film did at the box office easier than you can find what it is about. Discussions about its merit are not really that important. Down the line, the anticipation of a film's earning potential conjures up more excitement than the film itself does. Sure, film is a business, but the whole concern with the industry at present date is money. Theaters are going to be a thing of the past at the present rate.
Smaller films are taking to alternative methods to compete. DirecTV offers a service where certain movies premiere on their on-demand service the same day they do in theaters, as well does Comcast's Infinity service. These types of services will continue to grow as long as the bigger movies continue to bully their way into the theaters. As we have seen by this summer's box office, you cannot always count on the blockbusters to perform. There are times when the public rejects what is fed them and the studios scramble to adjust.
For now, Farber's dream of termite art overcoming the white elephant is looking less and less likely. The rising costs of movie production have dictated the raising of ticket prices. Smaller movies, when they are allowed in the mainstream cinema-plexes, are forced to like it.

The Heat finally finished off the regular season, albeit with a loss, as they fell to the Philadelphia 76ers, 100-87. The loss drops the Heat's final record to 54-28.
For the Heat, Dwyane Wade led the way with 16 points. Toney Douglas added 13 points. Ray Allen contributed 11 points off the bench.
For the 76ers, Thaddeus Young had a game-high 20 points, along with nine rebounds. Michael Carter-Williams finished with 12 points and six rebounds. Brandon Davies added 11 points off the bench.
There isn't much to say about this game. Both teams weren't playing for anything, and the game showed. Wade got some time on the floor, just to continue to gain some momentum heading into the playoffs. It also marked the return of Greg Oden, who missed every game since the Indiana game with back spasms and a stomach virus.
This is the moment that the players, and us Heat fans alike, have been waiting for. The grind of a somewhat meaning-less regular season is over, and now is the time for the Heat to put the pedal to the floor on the race to the three-peat. No more nights of dogging it in January, or taking the night off completely in March. Every game is important and every game will be scrutinized in every way. This team usually responds to the challenges presented, and this time will be expected to be no different.
The Heat's next game is the first playoff game, as welcome the Charlotte Bobcats to the AmericanAirlines Arena. The game is scheduled for Sunday, and the tip-off will be a 3:30 pm.

Taking your husbands name?
When you were married (or in the future) will you take your husbands/partners last name replacing your own?
I'd like to know people's opinion on this; and why they did or didn't choose to.
Did you hyphenate? Did it affect your children's last name? Was your partner offended by this choice?
No one in my family has ever kept their maiden name after getting married but I am tossing up keeping my last name (this is in the future of course).• teenberry • Australia •

I changed mine when I got married. Keeping solely my maiden name was never an option I considered because I wanted that connection to my husband by taking his name. I did play with the idea of hyphenating as i'm very family orientated and was proud of my surname, I worked in admin at the time though and it annoyed me when i had to address things to 'Mr Smith & Mrs Jones-Smith' rather than just, 'Mr & Mrs Smith' (more typing!). Anyway, i weighed it up for months but eventually decided to just take his name his name and be done with itMummy of One:

FRIDAY, May 27 (HealthDay News) -- Contrary to the belief of
some television producers, spiking cartoons with a dose of violence
doesn't make kids enjoy them more, a new study reveals.
Although an estimated 70 percent of children's TV shows now
contain some degree of violent content, Indiana University
researchers found that young children watching animated shows
identified more with non-violent characters.
"Violence isn't the attractive component in these cartoons, which producers seem to think it is," study co-author Andrew J. Weaver, an assistant professor of telecommunications in Indiana University's College of Arts and Sciences, said in a university news release.
"You don't have to cram violence into these cartoons to get kids to like them. They'll like them without the violence, just as much if not more," he added.
Weaver and his team reported their findings in the current issue
Media Psychology.
For the study, the researchers sought the opinions of 128
youngsters following exposure to a series of animated programs. The
participants were between the ages of 5 and 11 (from kindergarten
through fourth grade), and included as many boys as girls.
The children viewed one of four different edits of short
animated pieces that ran for about five minutes and were designed
specifically for the study. All were slapstick in nature, but the
versions differed in terms of the degree of violence included.
Afterwards, the researchers led the children through questionnaires
about the different episodes.
The investigators found that violent content was actually a turn
off for boys, depending on how they connected with the characters
involved. In fact, the less violent the characters, the more boys
identified with them and enjoyed the program at hand.
"That was a little surprising," said Weaver, who has two young sons. "There is a lot of talk about boys being more violent and more aggressive, for whatever reason, social or biological, and yet we found that they identified with the characters more when they were non-violent," he added. "They liked the characters more and they enjoyed the overall cartoon more."
Girls did not have the same reaction, however, feeling no more
attached to those characters that were less aggressive. The team
suggested that this may be because slapstick content generally
appeals more to boys than girls.
Nevertheless, girls did not actually prefer the more violent
content any more than the boys did, the study found.
"This is good news," said Weaver. "If producers are willing to work on making cartoons that aren't violent so much as action packed, they can still capture their target audience better . . . and without the harmful consequences."
He suggested that alternatives could include "things related to
speed -- characters going fast, moving quickly. It was one way that
we manipulated action in this study. If you can increase action
without increasing violence -- which clearly is possible as we did
it in this study -- then you can increase the enjoyment without the
potential harmful effects that violence can bring," Weaver

This week has been a busy one for 2014 all purpose back/cornerback Brandon Powell. After receiving only one offer last week, Powell has seen three come in since March 26th. Today, Illinois joined the party as they extended an offer to the 2014 recruit.
Brandon Powell has offers from the LSU Tigers, Tennessee Volunteers, California Golden Bears, Cincinnati Bearcats, Duke Blue Devils, Illinois Fighting Illini, Indiana Hoosiers, Kentucky Wildcats, Marshall Thundering Herd, Massachusetts Minutemen, Nebraska Cornhuskers, North Carolina Tar Heels, Northwestern Wildcats, Purdue Boilermakers, South Florida Bulls, Syracuse Orange, West Virginia Mountaineers, Western Michigan Broncos, and Wisconsin Badgers.
The teams receiving the most interest from Powell are Florida State, LSU, and Tennessee. The Seminoles have not offered at him, but should be a team to watch during Powell's recruitment.
It looks like the recruit is favoring staying in state early on, but could venture out to southeast teams.
Powell is a 5'10", 171 pound athlete from Deerfield Beach, Florida. As an all purpose back in 2012, he recorded 1,180 rushing yards, thirteen rushing touchdowns, four receiving touchdowns, two punt return touchdowns, and two kick return touchdowns.
The three-star recruit is currently ranked 103rd in the state of Florida and 63rd among athletes in the Class of 2014 by 247Sports.

Was it me or is it lacking in info on this new licencing scheme?! Just the usual Office 2007 is pants in BECTAs view as its not fully ODF compliant etc etc etc
No-one has mentioned the ribbon.
It is not unwarranted bad press. It is hugely warranted, considering how much money schools hand over to Microsoft every year. Along with the way in which they run the Schools Agreement (every machine capable of running the software you wish to license must be licensed, regardless of it is actually going to run it or not). These are very poor practices for education to have to buy into.
This is one of the exact reasons I am working on the possibility of a Linux roll-out at some point in the future.
One of the good things Becta has done is to take a stance against MS's anti-competitive and anti-interoperability practices in the education market and promote open source software.
(Of course then it made the bizarre decision to award the contract for its open source project to an unknown company with no track recored in open source software.)
Unwarranted bad press? No. Trolls? No.
