| Minako nodded and walked out of the restaurant. She looked over at Hotaru knowing she would follow. "I hope Michiru is alright..." Minako looked at Makoto and gripped her fist. Why didn't she call for help? | |||

Holiday Weight Gain, Slight, But May Last a Lifetime Article: March 22, 2000 Holiday Weight Gain Slight, But May Last A Lifetime A new study suggests that Americans probably gain about a pound during the winter holiday season-but this extra weight accumulates through the years and may be a major contributor to obesity later in life. This finding runs contrary to the popular belief that most people gain from five to ten pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. This conclusion was reached by researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). The results of their study appear in the March 23 New England Journal of Medicine. "These findings suggest that developing ways to avoid holiday weight gain may be extremely important for preventing obesity and the diseases associated with it," said NICHD Director Duane Alexander, M.D. According to government statistics, more than half of all adult Americans are overweight, as defined by body mass index, said Jack A. Yanovski, M.D., Ph.D., the study's principal investigator and head of NICHD's Unit on Growth and Obesity. Body mass index is a mathematical formula used to correct body weight to account for a person's height. According to Dr. Yanovski, the latest national surveys show that 54.9 percent of Americans have a body mass index of 25 or more and are overweight, while 22.3 percent are considered obese, with a body mass index of 30 or more. "The prevalence of obesity in the U.S. has increased dramatically over the past decade," Dr. Yanovski said. "Weight gain during adulthood may contribute to heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health problems." "Because losing weight is so difficult, it is important to learn when and why people gain weight so that effective strategies to prevent obesity can be developed, " said study co-author Susan Z. Yanovski, M.D., Executive Director of NIDDK's National Task Force on the Treatment and Prevention of Obesity. Previous studies suggested that Americans gain an average of 0.4 to 1.8 pounds each year during their adult lives, Dr. Yanovski said. It was unknown, however, if people gained weight at a steady rate throughout the year, or just at certain times, such as during the winter holiday season. To find out just how much of this weight increase occurred over the holidays, Dr. Yanovski and his colleagues measured weight and collected other health information from 195 volunteers. These volunteers worked at, or lived near, the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD. The group was racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse. The study's participants ranged in age from 19 to 82 years, and in weight from 95 to 306 pounds. In all, 51 percent were women, and 49 percent were men. The percentage of volunteeers who were at a healthy weight, were overweight, or were obese was similar to that of the U.S. adult population. All 195 were weighed at six-week intervals before, during, and after the winter holiday season; 165 returned for additional measurements in June and in September, one year after the study began. Compared to their initial weight in late September or early October, the volunteers gained just over a pound (1.05 lb) by late February or early March. Most of that weight gain (0.8 lb) occurred during the six-week interval between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. The researchers asked the volunteers about several factors that might influence weight change, such as stress, hunger, activity level, changes in smoking habits, or number of holiday parties they attended. The researchers found that only two factors influence weight gain: level of hunger and level of activity. Volunteers who said they were much more active or much less hungry since their last clinic visit were the least likely to gain weight over the holidays, and some even lost weight. Those who reported being less active or more hungry had the greatest holiday weight gain. "The finding that study volunteers reporting more physical activity had less holiday weight gain suggests that increasing physical activity may be an effective method for preventing weight gain during this high-risk time," Dr. Yanovski said. The researchers also found that study volunteers believed that they had gained much more weight than they actually had over the holidays, overestimating their weight gain by slightly more than 3 pounds. Fewer than 10 percent of subjects gained more than 5 pounds over the holiday season. However, Dr. Yanovski added, overweight and obese volunteers were more likely to gain five pounds than were those who were not overweight, which suggests that the holiday season may present special risks for those who are already overweight. "Although an average holiday weight gain of less than a pound may seem unimportant, that weight was not lost over the remainder of the year," Dr. Yanovski said. When 165 of the study volunteers were weighed a year after the study began, they had not lost the extra weight gained during the holidays, and ended the year a pound and a half heavier (1.4 lb) than they were the year before. "This is a 'good news/bad news' story," said Dr. Yanovski. "The good news is that people don't gain as much weight as we thought during the holidays. The bad news is that weight gained over the winter holidays isn't lost during the rest of the year." The knowledge that people actually accumulate a large proportion of their yearly weight gain over the winter holiday season, the researchers added, may prove useful in treating overweight and obesity. "?the cumulative effects of yearly weight gain during the fall and winter are likely to contribute to the substantial increase in body weight that frequently occurs during adulthood," the researchers wrote. "Promotion of weight stability during the fall and winter months may prove useful as a strategy to prevent age-related weight gain in the United States." The NICHD and NIDDK are two of the Institutes comprising the National Institutes of Health, the Federal government's premier biomedical research agency. NICHD supports and conducts research on the reproductive, neurobiological, developmental, and behavioral processes that determine and maintain the health of children, adults, families, and populations. The NICHD website, http://www.nichd.nih.gov/, contains additional information about the Institute and its mission. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases supports and conducts research on many of the most serious diseases affecting public health, such as diabetes and other endocrine disorders, inborn errors of metabolism, digestive diseases, obesity, nutrition, urology and renal disease, and hematology. For additional information, see http://www.niddk.nih.gov. You don't have to worry about gaining too much weight, but you still have to watch what you eat. Happy holidays!

| Amamizu put a hand on her heart. "There's a constant sinking feeling here. It hurts and when the feeling goes away it only hides under something only to come back." Amamizu sighed and looked at Clotho. Here eyes looked to the side. "That's not the only thing I felt." | |||

| Amamizu looked at the ground. "I don't know how to describe it. It was dark. Darker than here when I awakened." Amamizu looked up at Clotho. "It was so.... so...." Amamizu blinked her eyes. "I can draw what I remember seeing while I slept... Because the feelings came from two figures..." | |||

| Amamizu sat near the coffee table. Her eyes focused on a faint memory as remembered hearing a man's voice talking about her, she just couldn't remember exactly what was said, but the cold darkness that surrounded that place. | |||

Edit: never mind Character Sheet Name: Melissa Crymwall Alias: Crym Age: 20 Physical Age: 18 (young looking for a human) Race: Human Abilities: Musical skills and hacking Weapons: guns and knives Specialization: hacking into complex systems Physical Appearance: Melissa has a very young look about her. She looks like she just got out of high school but she's really a bit older. Melissa wears a black wife beater and a pair of green tight pants with a pair of black boots. Her hair is dark green and her eyes are a crimson red(a Crymwall trait). Background: Melissa Crymwall's family was originally used as jesters for a clan of vampires. Melissa's mother died of a stroke later on. Melissa's mother lost fertility after Melissa was born so she was the only child born. Melissa mastered the piano at a young age and her father noticed that she could learn at a fast pace. Her father Aiden Crymwall began teaching Melissa the art of hacking into complex systems at a young age. Finally on her 13th birthday Aiden helped Melissa escape. Melissa ran with Aiden as fast as she could. Melissa used her skills through each of the complex systems. Later on Aiden vanished when Melissa turned 15. When Melissa turned 18 she began to help children less fortunate than her learn to play the piano. Melissa came home to find an e-mail from an unknown source. The e-mail was encrypted with code. Melissa cracked the code and the words formed into: "I know where your father is. The hunters need you. You'll run into Aiden later. I promise." Melissa began an online search for hunters. She put the key words "Vampires" "holy water" and "hunter" in the search bar and Ki Henderson's name came up in about 20 pages. Melissa then hacked into the directories to find out where Ki Henderson is now. Melissa then met up with Ki and asked if he needed help. She told Ki how she found him and impressed him with her piano talent. Melissa then gave herself the code name Crym. (Last edited by One Shot One Kill on 11-14-07 06:38 AM) |

| Ki was right just behind him a teen ager looking young lady walked in with a serious look. Her eyes looked right at Ki who happened to leave her to get lost looking for the restroom. She gave him a scowl and sighed. "Leave me behind to get lost again... I see now," she said with a smile. She wore a wife beater with a large studded belt over the hip line where her shirt would meet her tight green pants. Over the pants she wore a pair of tight black leather boots with silver heels. Melissa's hair was put up in a loose pony tail. (Last edited by One Shot One Kill on 11-15-07 04:24 AM) |

| Melissa looked at Alicia with a weird look. "My my," she said in a noticeably fake english accent as if to mimic her superior. "We have an attitude problem, don't we." Melissa gave a smirk to Alicia. "Let me see this." She looked at the sheet to see what it says. "So working for the government. So what are doing, signing our lives away?" | |||

| The new college student in teaching sat as she watched Eddie. Alyssa sighed as she watched the students talk a bit. Alyssa watched everyone as she continued to avoid touching the board. Eddie's look on his face just about as bad when she touched the board in the algebra class room for the first time. She watched the teacher leave the room as she sat in a chair. What is wrong with me, she thought. Alyssa's eyes rolled over to the board. You did this to me... because of you I'm afraid of that man... she thought. As soon as she finished the thought the algebra teacher walks in the room. "Oh... Hi," she said smiling. "Just finishing my class plan for tomorrow. Thank you for taking over," she gave a sort of hesitated smile.
"What came over you Miss Isiadore?" The teacher asked. "You're teaching kids who would look at you and actually listen." He gave sort of creepy smile. "When you put your back on the board it looked like you saw a ghost." Alyssa grabbed her books and walked out of the class. "Look, it was nice talking and all, I just got a little nervous on my first day student teaching an older class." She began to walk out of the room. The teacher grabbed her arm. Alyssa looked down and began to shiver. "Relax, you're tensed. Don't worry. Tomorrow's another day okay?" Alyssa faked a smile and nodded walking out in just as much as a hurry by Eddie and Nina and Mr. Nathaniel, even the janitor. She put a hand on her head. She walked into the teacher break room sitting down in a leather seat. Her eyes filled up with tears and she began to tremble. |

| Amamizu stared at the pencil and paper. Her memories began to consume her. Her eyes began to go blank. She grabbed the pencil and began to draw a man with glasses on. She took a marker and began to color the whole man black and kept the glasses white. She took a pencil and began to draw in the left eye an eye design. Then she began to smirk as she began to draw another figure. This one had long black hair and a star on its head. Then she took another paper and began to draw a blacker figure with black wings and it held a sword. "I don't know their names," she said as she shook her head. "But this one felt awful..." She pointed to the first one. "Then she had a very pleasurable darkness..." and she pointed to the last one. "She was the reason I had awakened." |
