1.15 - Ares on Trial hercules-iolaus friendship

didn't make the cut

- heph got on the tribunal by making the chains
- how Herc got home 

quotes

true or false the irony appealed to me free herring. he talks about it constantly. it's his favorite topic we're talking goddess

1.16 - Down and Out in Academy Hills

amnesia academy food. Oats & bread

damage - farmer dude's table of stuff flipped akas - fish akas - you worthless peise ofmetalworking god trash?

quotes

I see the bait, but where's the fish? what's for lunch. filet of sole.

GrotesqueDream13 (2:42:42 AM): When fiddle face is trying to get iolaus to "give up" he tells the group that it's lit up brighter than "Phoebus' Chariot" GrotesqueDream13 (2:43:20 AM): Terminology wise, would this not be simply "Apollo's Chariot"? Even Lucius has said this. "I can ride Apollo's Chariot any time I want."

GrotesqueDream13 (3:20:52 AM): the use of the chain in forgery! GrotesqueDream13 (3:20:57 AM): i thought... that it was modern GrotesqueDream13 (3:21:03 AM): and it... well I'm sure it is. GrotesqueDream13 (3:21:28 AM): but upon further research, the torus chaped chain was thought to be invented in 225 BC.

GrotesqueDream13 (3:23:37 AM): Also in Cram ped I notice that Hercules gives Fiducius a thumbs up GrotesqueDream13 (3:24:09 AM): ...Which is a modern thing. GrotesqueDream13 (3:24:20 AM): It was used in Ancient Rome during the gladitorial games GrotesqueDream13 (3:24:35 AM): but it's the opposite of what we think (up means death, down means life!)

Forgery

no way out

Bechel test - cyane talking to the amazons?

Cheiron is still using a cane!

classes at the academy - first aid

Iolaus factoid - he has only crashed parties, never thrown them... except for the time he helped organize the all-the-pork-you-can-eat competition at the village fair.

Is there a trope about healing by the next ep? convenient injury?

When Hercules props his feet on the table in Forgery, it can be seen that the bottom of his boots are flat, with a pronounced heel. During several shots in this episode the bottom of Lilith's left shoe can be seen when she is sitting on the ground - it is also flat, with a solid heel. But when the camera pans to Lilith after Hercules leaves her to go get help, fresh footprints can be seen in the sand around her with horizontal grooves in the front part of the sole print - whose footprints were those, and would boots have even had grooved soles back then?

When Lilith is alone and crying in the cave, Ares murmurs to himself that she should save her tears, as she will need them for when he uses her to destroy Hercules. But then later when Hercules is 'dead' and Lilith is crying, "What did you make me do to him?" Ares orders her to stop, saying that she's ruining his finest moment. Geez, Ares, make up your mind!

2nd place in Derby #232: Motivation, with 551 votes! My name is Evan Clifton, and I’m eight years old. I’m the Junior Philosopher of the Month at the Waldren Valley Progressive Elementary Education Center, and this is what this shirt means to me:

This shirt means that sometimes trees grow from the sky and look like tornadoes, but that doesn’t mean they are tornadoes. That just means they’re different, and that’s okay.

This shirt means that sometimes mountains can be really sharp and kind of dark and they might look like they’re going to fall over, but that’s not a bad thing. That just means that they’re different, and that’s okay.

This shirt means that sometimes dogs try to bury their bones in sharp mountains, but they don’t do a very good job with the burying part, so everyone can see the bones, but that doesn’t make the dogs bad dogs. That just means that they’re different, and that’s okay.

This shirt means that the guy from the men’s room signs has a brother who glows and sometimes does dangerous stuff like jumping from a pointy, dark, dog bone mountain to a tree tornado, but that doesn’t mean he needs to go to the real doctor to have the glowing fixed or the talky doctor to have the doing dangerous stuff fixed. It just means that he’s different, and that’s okay.

So, in conclusion, I am Even Clifton, I am eight years old, and this shirt means to me that being different is okay.

Wear this shirt: if you’re different, and that’s okay.

Don’t wear this shirt: if you’re not different, and that’s not okay.

This shirt tells the world: “I’m different, and that’s okay.”

We call this color: Navy, but if it were a different color, that would be okay.

Optifast Lifestyle Education Series: Motivation To Change.

    Many participants in weight management programs say "I know what to do to manage my weight," yet they have a hard time putting their knowledge into action. Such individuals are often puzzled and frustrated when they find themselves struggling to follow their weight management program. Their behavior is saying that they are having dificulty maintaining motivation and commitment to weight control and that they do not understand the process required to increase their motication.
    You may have stufied the concept of approach avoidance theory in the Embracing change module. This theory describes simultaneously approaching and backing away from change.
    Desiring - and at the same time resisting - change is a natural step in the proces of behavior change. After all, evfen the most desirable goals have a price. Achieving a healthy weight may be one of your most longed-for goals, but you may regret that achieving this goal will mean that you can no longer eat whatever you want, nor can you continue to be a couch potato.

• mo·ti·va·tion

  1. A feeling of interest of enthusiasm that makes somebody want to do something, or something that causes such a feeling.
  2. The biological, emotional, cognitive, or social forces that activate and direct behavior.

The Facets of Motivation

    As you can see from the definition of the word motivation, it is more complex than simply wanting to do something. Multifaceted biological as well as psychological urges direct motivation. A person's motication to pursue a particular behavior is a reflection of their biological programming and psychological factors, such as their value system and the price they attach to success. Other modules in the OPTIFAST Lifestyle Education Series have addressed the skills needed to deal with biological motications to overeat. This module concentrates on the psychological aspects of motivation.

The Five R's of Weight Management Motivation 1 - Relevant: How is weight management relevant in my life? 2 - Risks: What are the risks in my life if I do not manage my weight? 3 - Rewards: What are the rewards in my life if I manage my weight? 4 - Roadblocks: What are the roadblocks to weight management in my life? 5 - Remove: How can I remove the roadblocks in order to manage my weight?

    The Five R's of Motivation questions provide an assessment to help you determine how motivated you are to lose weight, and your weight loss efforts.
    Drs. James Miller and Stephen Rollnick have written extensively about the role of motivation in weight loss. They believe people struggle to lose weight despite having good motivation to do so because  the value they place on weight loss is in direct conflict with a more strongly held food-related value and/or because they secretly believe the cost of weight loss exceeds the benefits.
    Jane's story illustrates each of these points...

Conflicting Values

    Jane had been overweight for many years. she entered the Optifast program because she believed her weight was hindering her relationships with her shildren. Jane did well in the early phase of the Optifast program, but found herself struggling once she entered the long-term management phase. The behaviorist associated with Jane's program met with Jane to help her explore the factors that had motivated her to join the Optifast program. Jane stated she valued her children. For this reason, she wished to control her weight. She realized that, if she controlled her weight, she would probably have more energy to engage in activities with her children, that she would feel more comfortable in social situations with her children, and that by reaching and maintaining a healthy weight she would increase the chance that she would live long enough to see them well into their adulthoods.
    Weight management seemed like an obvious strategy to help Jane fulfill her goals and to behave in a way that was consistent with her child-centered values. Why was she having difficulty maintaining her weight loss? One of the reasons Jane was struggling may have been that she had another value that competed with her child-centered values. In fact, this was the case. While Jane clearly valued her children, she also valued achieving a sense of immediate comfort by eating whenever she felt stressed. Thus, her child-centered value was in direct conflict with the value she placed on food for stress relief. These values competed for her attention and made it difficult for her to stay motivated to adhere to her weight management routine.
    Jane had never looked at her value system in terms of how it affected her approach to weight management. This was one of the reasons that she was stuck. Once she was able to determine the number one value in her life, she could make a commitment to her top priority and figure out how to manage the other values in her life so that they did not interfere with her weight management efforts.
