Hands-On: Twelve South's MagicWand Unifies Apple's Magic Trackpad + Wireless Keyboard
Young though it may be, Twelve South has become a reliable source of smart accessories for Apple users over the past year and a half. MacBooks notably benefitted from the sturdy BookArc stand, iPad users more recently received the super-sharp portable Compass, and now desktop Mac users are getting in on the action with MagicWand ($30), a typically well-named accessory aimed at users of Apple's Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad.
Using only three pieces, MagicWand unifies these two increasingly important peripherals to become a one-piece input solution that's a little under an inch narrower than Apple's USB-wired Mac Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. Piece one is a silver tube with a groove that perfectly fits the battery compartments and rubber feet of the Keyboard and Trackpad; piece two is a matching silver H insert that joins the Keyboard and Trackpad together for stability, and piece three is a gray soft rubber insert that goes at the top of the joined accessories, serving as a pad between their metal top edges. Combined together, everything looks and feels mostly like it was made to be joined this way, and the silver tube has rubber feet of its own to replace the ones it covers up. Some users may pooh-pooh Twelve South's use of plastic rather than metal for the silver parts, particularly given the $30 asking price, but the plastic keeps the weight down while making the tube flexible enough that the Apple parts can be popped in or out without fear of scratching. A little paint from the tube may rub off if you run the keyboard through it rather than just popping it out, but it won't damage Apple's silver aluminum.
Read on for additional photos and details.
The overall experience of joining the Keyboard and Trackpad together is nice, but there are a few little user experience oddities that people will need to overcome. First, as Apple has placed both of the peripherals' battery access points and power buttons in the same place—on the far left and right sides, respectively, of their tube compartments—you'll have to give up the ability to manually turn the Keyboard on and off unless you want to disassemble the MagicWand, which isn't a problem to the extent that the Keyboard can automatically manage its power most of the time. Similarly, replacing the Trackpad's batteries will require you to pull it off of the MagicWand once every two or three months, which again isn't a big issue. Left-handed users who mount the Trackpad on the left will gain easy access to its batteries but not its power button.
Second, because the two peripherals are so close together, you may experience some accidental cursor movement due to fingers slipping onto the Trackpad from the edge of the Keyboard. Third and arguably most important, the rigidity of the H bracket between the Keyboard and Trackpad limits the latter's ability to flex its bottom left corner when used as a right-hand trackpad, making left clicks unreliable unless you perform them closer to the Trackpad's center or activate the Tap to Click feature. Left-handed users who mount the Trackpad on the other side will find right clicks to be similarly challenging.
Given what Twelve South had to work with here—two Apple peripherals that weren't originally designed to be physically tethered to one another despite very obvious similarities—MagicWand is a pretty cool accessory. It reduces keyboard tray clutter and prevents an issue we've occasionally had whereby the Trackpad and Keyboard wind up rubbing against (and even overlapping) each other during normal use on a desk; it also enables both items to be carried together for use away from a desk, with sufficient sturdiness to make that relatively safe. Our suspicion is that the price may seem a little high to some users, but when they see what other companies are planning to ask for similar add-ons, MagicWand may look like a bargain, though also the simplest of the bunch. Until and unless Apple comes up with a unified and dedicated typing and input solution for Macs, MagicWand will do the trick for most users.

In my Triumphant return to blogging after a much needed mental break, I am here to break you some ****** ******* news...NFL Sources tell #wbz tv the news not good on Julian Edelman. Broken foot, likely needs surgery and likely headed to IR. #Patriots— Dan Roche (@RochieWBZ) December 4, 2012Yeap, you heard it right, Edelman out for the season. Let's just hope Dante Stallworth can provide something. This really sucks because Edelman was really starting to show something on Offense, and looked ESPECIALLY special on punt returns. Might have been the most electric guy we have had back there in my entire life. This is a ****** time with the Texans and then 49ers coming into town in back to back weeks to be without two of our top weapons (with Gronk out too), but WE SHALL OVERCOME, as we always do. As always, follow me @CultOfBelichick

That's the message high school students are getting from their local League of Women Voters. The Leagues are working in a nationwide push to register students at their "workplace."
As presidential candidates pounded the campaign trail this week, the Florida League debuted an innovative "Be Ready to Vote" mobile campaign, designed to help inform Florida voters about their current registration status and increase voter turnout at the polls. Through these efforts, mobile phone users are prompted to enter their name and date of birth to check their voter status, update their voter information or have their questions answered by an elections official. What new technologies are you using to reach voters this year?
The League is one of the nation's largest and most longstanding community based voter registration groups. League volunteers help hundreds of thousands register or update their registration each election year, focusing on reaching underrepresented groups such as young voters, minorities and first-time voters

Collie Dogs can make good pets in Ohio if they match your IifestyIe. Collies, or Rough Collies, are loyal, devoted, and protective dogs. Most Collies are excellent companions for children. Collies are natural herders and may nip at people's heels when they are puppies. Collies respond well to gentle obedience training. Collies are best suited to loving families with a decent sized yard but can adapt to apartment life. Collies are easy to housebreak.

Working to ensure a sustainable future for our oceans by combating illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing around the world.
Illegal fishing is a major threat to the sustainability of the world's fisheries. Some estimates are that illegal and unreported fishing accounts for up to $23.5 billion worth of fish annually worldwide, and up to 20 percent of all of the wild marine fish caught globally. In some parts of the world, the situation is even more dire. For example, fisheries scientists estimate that illegal fishing accounts for up to 40 percent of fish caught in West Africa.
Pressure on the world's fish stocks is at an all-time high. Fishing fleets utilize modern technology and massive vessels to fish in places that until recently were out of reach because they were too deep, remote, or dangerous to exploit.
How mandatory IMO numbers will help end illegal fishing.
Fleets now pursue and catch fish in virtually every part of the world's ocean. Massive processing vessels—floating factories that process, freeze, and transport fish in huge quantities—allow fishing vessels to offload catch at sea and continue fishing with alarmingly little downtime. The result is what some call "the last buffalo hunt"—too many fishing vessels chasing a dwindling number of fish that have nowhere to hide.
Most industrial fishing operations act within the law, but some take to the seas fully intending to steal fish. They do this in various ways, including failing to report catch, using illegal fishing gear, fishing without licenses, and even painting new names on their vessels while at sea to avoid detection by authorities. And they do it wherever they think they can get away with it, both within the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of coastal states and on the high seas. In many cases, the theft is made easy by patchwork regulation of fishing areas and weak enforcement at sea and in ports.

Hi: 7° Lo:5°
By Beth Sharp Thursday 27 February 2014 Updated: 27/02 23:40
A BROMSGROVE mum and her teenage daughter have raised more than £1,200 for Cancer Research UK from shaving off their beautiful locks.
Lily Fullelove, 13, first came up with the 'hair-razing' plan after she witnessed several family members battle the disease.
Her mum, Cherie, was so impressed she decided to volunteer for the headshave too.
It took place outside the Cancer Research UK shop on Bromsgrove High Street last week.
The duo originally aimed to raise £200 so when they beat their target six times over they were overjoyed.
Lily has now donated her hair to The Little Princess Trust which provides real-hair wigs for children going through cancer treatment.
She said: "Everywhere I look someone has been touched by cancer - it is the worst thing I can think of and no-one should have to go through it.
"My own family has been affected but every little bit donated to research can help to save us all."
Karen Marshall, assistant manager of the Cancer Research shop, said: "We'd like to thank Lily and her mum for taking on this brave challenge for Cancer Research UK."
To sponsor Lily and her mum visit www.justgiving.com/baldies-fullelove or for more about Cancer Research UK call 08701 602040.

Perhaps more than any other holiday, Halloween is a child's dream come true. The costumes, the candy, the games -- all are childhood staples. But what happens if you live somewhere that's not conducive to trick-or-treating? Or what if you don't want your kids consuming massive amounts of candy?
In honor of having a Halloween to remember no matter what, here are some tips from iVillage mamas on ways to personalize the holiday for their families. Maybe one will work for you!
Save another soul
"When our daughter was small we lived in Montana, and it never failed to snow a foot on Halloween! So our options were to bundle up snugly and hit a few houses or go to one of the nursing homes. We opted for the latter. Seniors sat outside their doors and the nursing home provided them with candy to fill our bags. It was such a delight to see their faces, and is something they look forward to all year. If you're looking for an alternate, warm place to be with small children, call a local senior center or nursing home to see what they have planned."
Plan a neighborhood party
"Instead of everyone tricking-or-treating door-to-door (with no parents home to answer their own doorbells!) get together as a neighborhood. Pick a meeting spot for games, such as musical chairs with strollers or wagons, and group activities. When you stop the music, hand out special prizes!"
The Halloween fairy
"If you're worried about your kids eating too much candy, teach them about the magical, wonderful Halloween fairy. She visits the night of October 31st and replaces oodles of candy with fun things that maybe are not so sweet, such as Crayons and coloring books."
Trick or toy?
"What if your child leaves all his candy out for the 'Great Pumpkin' on Halloween night and the candy is exchanged for a small toy overnight?"
Cool costumes for healthy treats
"My Mom was anti-candy, but here is a Halloween treat she made for us. She cut up carrots and skewered black olives with them, so that each carrot had a "hat" to wear. I always loved them."
"For an edible Halloween decoration/centerpiece I make a bunch of tissue paper ghosts each year. Get a bag of Tootsie Pops, and wrap each in a white tissue and tie around each a black piece of yarn. Color two black dots for eyes and one big one for a mouth. Really simple. Then poke all your pops through a Styrofoam cone (available at a craft store.) Last year, I brought it to my son's daycare group and they loved it!"


text: It appears as though withdrawals show before deposits show on the account transaction grid. Almost all $$ depositied into my account is done via direct deposit and post to my bank account before any other transactions (because the check goes in at 12:05AM). Could you add an option to show deposits before withdrawals?

WOONSOCKET — A few details of the changes in store for Landmark Medical Center if the sale of the hospital goes through have emerged from the state health department, including a name change that's getting some lukewarm reviews from the locals.
Steward Health Care System of Boston would rename the Cass Avenue facility "Blackstone Medical Center." Similarly, the Rehabilitation Hospital of Rhode Island, in North Smithfield, would become "Blackstone Rehabilitation Hospital."
LINCOLN — Little did Alexandra Fish know that when she accurately spelled the noun tableau, defined by Webster's Dictionary as "a striking, dramatic scene or picture," she was living one herself.
That correct answer led the Lincoln Middle School eighth grader to the championship of the annual Lincoln School District Spelling Bee, held inside her home auditorium on Tuesday night.
Fish, who out-dueled fellow schoolmate and sixth-grader Alexandra Theroux, now will represent the district at the Rhode Island State Spelling Bee, to be held at this same site on Saturday, March 12 at 10 a.m.
Janet Aurella
PORT CHARLOTTE- Janet Aurella (Struzik) Haczynski, age 69, died January 9, 2012 in Port Charlotte, Florida after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Jan was born on July 18, 1942 and previously lived in Blackstone, MA and North Smithfield, RI.
Stephen Douglas Chisholm
LINCOLN- Stephen Douglas Chisholm, 52, of Lincoln, passed away unexpectedly in his residence on February 7th.
Born in Providence, a son of the late John and Mary (MacLachlan) Chisholm, he had lived in Lincoln for over twenty-five years.
Gerard L. Bergeron
WOONSOCKET- Gerard L. Bergeron 57, of 23 Clinton St. died Monday at Landmark Medical Center. He was the husband of Theresa (Goss) Bergeron.

Gerry was a Certified Nursing Assistant and worked at several area nursing homes for twenty years, he also worked as a counter person for Dunkin Donuts for several years.
CUMBERLAND – The best wrestling dual-meets build slowly, bout by bout, to a crescendo. Each match is important. Results in the earlier bouts lay the foundation for dramatic outcomes late in the contest.
That's what happened on Wednesday night at The Wellness Center when an estimated 400 mat-crazy spectators watched Rhode Island's only two unbeaten Division I dual-meet teams square off. Cumberland, carrying the burden of a 52-match winning streak nearly three years old, hosted a 13-0 Bishop Hendricken team most experts gave a slight advantage heading into this showdown.
WOONSOCKET — Record foreclosures have crimped the supply of affordable apartments, fueling an astronomical increase in rents that threatens the financial security of working families.
That's the latest from HousingWorksRI, an advocacy group that says the average two-bedroom apartment in the state now costs $1,165 a month. At that rate, it would take an hourly wage of nearly $24 to limit one's monthly rental nut to 30 percent of salary, the level the government defines as affordable.
CUMBERLAND — It's time for "Phys Ed" but the gym is really quiet. The class of 11-and 12-year-old boys and girls are sitting on floor mats and focusing on their breathing, some with their eyes shut. Then, following instructor Sunny Moriello Flatts' lead, they assume various poses and hold them for a time: Downward Dog, Dolphin and Plank Star. It's all part of a semester-long yoga program that is now part of the school day at the Blackstone Valley Prep middle school in Cumberland.

I get asked all of the time "How do you do it? how have you managed to lose more than 200 pounds?" and my answer is always the same, I had a decision to make and it was my choice. At 534 pounds life is not a bowl of cherries but if I was asked that question at that weight my answer would have been "I am totally happy right now" mostly because of pride and not wanting to admit how weak I was in that time of my life, I was NOT happy. I was thinking about this a bit over the weekend and was going through all of the things that I did to get going down this road and thought I would write a "So ya wanna lose some weight" post for those people that may stumble on my blog that are thinking about starting down the same path and have that lost in the woods feeling.
Like most things I find the jump right in approach the best and I figured I had dipped my toes into many a "diet" pool throughout my life so this time it had to be different. Making excuses as to why we can't start just delays and stalls our progress so why do it? I happened to start on Jan 1st but honestly it was a long time coming and the 2 pints of Ben and Jerry's is what tipped me into the had too much category, here are a few things to consider when you start:
The start of things
1. Decide what approach will be taken - I chose to count calories but there are many different weight loss methods out there to choose from and each will mean purchasing a different variation or foods, so decide which path you will wander down and go from there with your shopping list.
2. Go shopping - This is extremely important because if you have cookies, cakes and the phone number to the local pizza house on hand it will be that much harder to eat healthy meals, toss that number out and get rid of the stockpile of sweets as they will only hinder progress and offer chances to fall off of plan.
3. Plan meals ahead of time - This is critical in the beginning, breaking the habit of grazing at the refrigerator is number one on your list of things to do right now, you are not a cattle so stop acting like one and step away from that fridge! if you have your day down on paper (or in my case an excel sheet) it is easy to anticipate when and what we will eat when you can see it written down.
4. Start a food diary ie a Blog - I did this step on a whim and as it turned out here I am still writing in it 650 days later. The importance of cataloging and preserving what has been done so that you can go back and look at where you came from in your own words and feel some of the same feelings I cannot stress enough. having a blog is like creating a mirror image of the way you felt and is a strong reminder on those not so strong days not to mention the accountability factor because you never know just who is having a peek into your struggles.
Now that you are started and we are chugging along slightly tired, somewhat aggravated and really craving some of aunt Maude's home made double chocolate chocolate chip cookies its time to pat ourselves on our backs because the first step has been taken. There is really a feeling of empowerment that comes across after we have made it through a few days of what seems like agony, furthermore you have just proven that it can in fact be done with minimal effort and you quite like the way you are feeling lately.
The first week
You've made it through an entire seven days and are starting to realize that this is not as hard as it once felt while all at the same time really wanting to tear into a double bacon and onion pizza, you are waking up less tired while feeling that this just might work this time around but boy do you miss that giant cup of joe with Cream and sugar. Now its time to start thinking about adding some exercise to your days and take a look back at what you have done this week and decide what could be better or if anything needs to be tweaked, did I mention that I can swear Ronald McDonald waved at me when I drove by this afternoon?
1. Exercise - You have to start somewhere, run if you can walk if its what you can do and crawl if you must but you have to start moving. At hyper obese weights 500 pounds plus it can be extremely difficult to exercise but it is a must so do it. I started off at 534 pounds and a walk to the corner felt like it was going to kill me but I did it because I had to, you can too. Of course talking to a doc before starting an exercise regimen is probably a good idea so I would recommend that step (even though I did not) but exercise is key to healthy weight loss so make sure its getting added in.
2. Weigh yourself often - I find that weighing myself often helps immensely, besides the fact that it is a gauge to let you know how your progress is moving along it can be a huge motivator whether you are up in weight or down, on the one hand if you weigh less its proving that the hard work is paying off and that confidence boost can throw you into hyper drive and you forget that you are "dieting" and the urges are lessened. The other side to that coin is that if the scale shows a gain you know that you have to look at what you are doing closer or in some (I would guess most from experience) cases you know that you did not do your part and it forces you to refocus, but whatever you do do not give up if you see a gain consistency is key.
3. Read other people blogs - I can obviously only speak for myself but when I first started down this road I made myself obsess over reading as many weight related articles and blogs as I could fit into my days. Seeing others struggle and conquer, obsess and fight with all of the same things that I was dealing with helped me realize that I was not the only fat dude on the block and that helped me stay focused, hearing about how they handled a situation or pushed through a hard spot can really keep things in perspective. I have since I started blogging met some pretty great people that have struggled through the same things that I have and having the support of like minded people huffing down the same trail is a very powerful thing.
We are now starting to get the hang of things and making better choices in our meals and snacking much less than we were, feeling pretty good about the whole process and most likely have dropped a bit of weight. Exercise is getting easier and shopping for healthy choices is becoming second nature, our confidence is rising and we are smiling more than ever because things are starting to feel good again, I might be able to stick to this you think and off you go for a walk around the neighborhood.
Month three
Now you're chugging along and have a few months behind you, you have certainly dropped some weight by now if you are doing your part and are feeling better. No more refrigerator grazing and you look for opportunities to get some exercise into the day all while noticing that your food tastes better when its not covered in salt, sugary sauces and fried batter, who wouldda thunk that chicken could taste so good without the greasy coating of bread crumbs on it? the pizza delivery guy cruises slowly past your home looking quizzically at the door wondering if you moved out of the neighborhood or were kid napped as you grill some chicken breast and veggies for that nights dinner.
By now things should be starting to get pretty automated and routine for you, walking past the cookie isle in the supermarket without craving a whole pound bag of Oreos is getting easier and soon enough will fade completely. Getting out for some daily exercise is no longer a chore but something you sort of want to do, before long you may even find yourself joining a gym and quickly becoming addicted to going there and working out, the whole world is yours again. No longer leashed to that dented couch You wonder why it took so long for you to get started and with just a couple months of success things start falling into place and the path to better health is clear and open for you to walk down as you taste the success of losing some extra baggage.
I am not a doctor nor do I claim to be one, I also do not claim to be an expert in weight loss so with a grain of salt this post is offered, always consult a physician before starting in on new exercise and or diet plans.
Thanks for reading along and I hope that you took something away from this that could help you in a positive way.

Upon sitting down on the press machine I knew that I had significantly lost strength as I pushed the weight forward for the first time in years. The last time I touched a weight seriously I warmed up with 220 pounds, to some that might be a lot to others its not but its where I was, I figured that I had lost some strength and mass so I would come down slightly from that weight and see what happened and well, it was tragic. I don't care to admit what weight I finally leveled off working with just yet but man was it a wake up call as to just how much muscle mass I have lost with this weight loss. I figured that I would do my regular chest routine that I was doing back in the day which is 5 sets of 6 reps each in a pyramid gradually adding weight for 3 sets peaking at the 3rd set and then coming back down to the start weight for the last set and though I was pleased to be pushing weight again I was not happy with the amount that I had to settle for this time around.
Looking at it logically I know that its not the raw weight itself that I should be worried about but the fact that I am back to lifting again and it will get there, but man I had no idea that I would be lifting so much less than I use to. I also know that this was my first go at it on a machine that I have never used before and it was after a 20 minute ride on a stationary bike and a 30 minute walk on the treadmill @ 3.5 mph so I was not fresh but man, I tell ya I was not expecting to be so weak! I am planning on making myself a weight program once I familiarize myself with some more of the machines at the gym as I go alone and do not have a constant spotter, Machines allow me to work with no spot and I do not wish to rely on a chance that someone will be there willing to help a brother out.
I am currently going to the gym on Monday and Tuesdays, taking Wednesdays off and then Thursdays and Fridays are back to the gym with the weekends being open for going but I don't plan on heading over on the weekends. Weekends are reserved for walks/runs/bike rides with wify until I convince her to join the gym with me. My plan will be to work weights into 3 of those gym trips per week, maybe all of them eventually but to start off it will be 3 times weekly until this initial soreness dulls somewhat. I cannot slack off on the cardio and since I am doing 50 minutes at a go right now I don't want to burn out so I will have to find a happy medium between the lifting and the cardio until I adjust to doing both and can have my cake and eat it too so to speak and do them both consistently together without burning myself out.
This morning My chest, Triceps and shoulders are feeling sore and its the good sore and quite frankly a sore that I haven't felt in a long while so its welcome and I am over all pleased with myself that I started back into some real strength training. I have learned a few things, I am definitely weaker than I once was as far as my raw physical strength goes but on the other hand I am stronger than I have been in years because of the changes in my health and exercise in the last 2 years. I have to let things be what they are and just accept that I have lost mass and strength all while losing the weight that was holding me back and it is what it is and I have to use this as my starting point for my strength and work up from here.
with that a hasty end has to come to this post as I am being prodded out the door to bring the children apple picking. Thanks for following and all that and remember that if I can do this you can too.

This morning is the third week in my Nov 11th challenge and I just weighed in, I will get straight to the number and if I said that I was anything less than pleased it would be a lie. The number that flashed across the display was 335.4 which is 4.2 pounds less than last week and that was after going to the wine tasting last Saturday! In the beginning of the week I said that I wanted 4 pounds and immediately after I said it I felt that it was a bit ambitious but after joining the gym I decided that I would do what I could to try and get that number come today.
This week was a good one for me, I joined a gym, I seem to have my juju back and more than 4 pounds is gone from my body. Eating right tied in with exercise and drinking lots of fluids is the key to what I am doing and today I plan on playing with a new machine at the gym to hopefully get myself into a groove with some weight training. Thursday I did 25 minutes on a bike and another 25 minutes on a treadmill walking between 3.4 and 3.7 mph on a 3.0% grade and I tried out the leg press machine for 5 sets of 6 reps per set in a pyramid starting at 325 pounds and ending at 400 pounds (which was all of the weight on this particular machine) than back down to 325 again and I will cease with the much detailed gym trips once the novelty wears off.
I think I like this picking a number to lose each week thing so this week I will up the ante and go for a 5 pound loss this time around. Now I know that a 5 pound drop is not likely BUT it can be fun trying for it yes? did I just say that it could be fun trying to drop 5 pounds?? Did the fella that once upon a time watched people walking down the street and think to himself "now why the hell would anyone want to walk just to do it??" say it would be fun trying for a 5 pound loss? I believe he did folks.
Yesterdays menu came in at 1555 calories, I did drink 1 gallon of green tea and just under a gallon of straight H2O along with the exercise that I already mentioned so a successful day where health goes.
Have a look at the menu.
2 cups honey combs 220
1 cup 1% milk 110
2 oranges 170
1 can progresso soup 120
1 light multigrain english muffin 100
smart balance 20
1oz turkey pepperoni 70
1/4 of one ghram cracker 35
9oz BBQ chicken 450
1 cup green beans 40
10oz steamed cauliflower 60
2 small apples 160
I am pleased this week with what I have done and how it turned out as far as my trips to the gym go and the weight lost, I feel like I am back in the game and refocused 100% again. I won't take any more of your time and if you have made it this far into my post you should be applauded and you owe yourself a big ol glass of H2O so have at it! and remember kids, the results that you get will directly reflect the work that was put in, or something like that, either way keep on keepin on and all that.
As Ever
Tomorrow I will be weighing in and I am anxious to get on the scale in the morning, This week I have done my part and I am expecting a decent loss. I weighed in at 339.6 lat Friday and my goal for the week was to drop 4 pounds, will I get there? to be found out in the am I suppose and if I manage to hit that four pound drop it will reinforce that hard work does in fact pay off. The plan is to head to the gym this afternoon again and get in the same workout that I did on Tuesday but I may add some light weight lifting just to get a feel for some of the machines. I have always used free weights but there is something about trying out the machines that is interesting me so I do believe I will be giving them a whirl.
My menu from Wednesday was right on coming in at 1700 calories on the nose but I did nothing in the way of exercise, it just did not work out that way yesterday but no worries because everything else was pretty much exactly where I need it to be. I did drink slightly less than normal but that's also ok because of the lack of exercise, 1.25 gallons of green tea and a diet coke while out at Subway is all that I drank all day, have a look at the menu from Wednesday.
2 cups honey combs 220
1 cup 1% milk 110
2 slices whole wheat bread 140
1 T peanut butter 95
1 T strawberry preserves 35
2 oranges 170
1 foot long turkey subway 560
1 bag sun chips 200
2 oranges 170
Not too bad a day other than the bag of sun chips with my subway and since it fit into my calories I am not worried about it.
(this is for my blogspot readers) Something that I have been meaning to do but since I had not been all that consistent with my posts just sort of let it slip is to update my blogroll list. I have some of you on my blogroll already but not all of you that follow along with me and I wanted to add anyone that would like to be included in the blogroll on the left sidebar, so if you want your blog listed there leave me a comment in this post and I will update the list with your blog link.
That is the end of another mind blowing post from yours truly and I weigh in tomorrow so make sure you check back to see how I did this week! hopefully the trips to the gym will make a difference and this afternoon know that I will be there beating the fat to a pulp...now there is a mental image to go with your breakfast.
Until Tomorrow..

This last week has brought me back to where I should be on this path to better health, I have refocused myself in a way that I feel like I am unstoppable once again. Eating the way that I should, exercising daily and staying hydrated has become my goal each day and I have that competitive feeling in me once more. I am enjoying the gym experience thus far and ended up trying a new machine yesterday while I was there, I rode a stationary bike for 25 minutes and while walking down the path between the machines my eye went to an elliptical machine and since I have never really used one besides the random hop on in sporting goods stores I thought that I would try it out. Upon mounting this awkward looking skeletal thing I soon realized that it just was not the piece of equipment for me as I floundered ungracefully and just could not get a good rhythm going even after learning the controls and adjusting the resistance. The stride length is where I had an issue, I think my height makes me need a longer stride length and since I did not ask someone I don't know if that is an adjustment on the machine or if they are set at a standard distance and that's that, perhaps I will ask next time I go. After my skillful adventure on the elliptical machine I thought I would try a treadmill out and here is something that I liked! I ended up walking at 3.4 mph on a 3.5% grade for 25 minutes, I did go to a 8% grade for about a four minute segment about 15 minutes in just for kicks and I can honestly say that I am enjoying the gym.
My intake was spot on as well for Tuesday, I came in at a grand total of 1590 calories and when you see my menu you will see just how much of a creature of habit I am when you compare Tuesday and Monday's menus. I drank 1 gallon of green tea and just about 1 gallon of straight H2O.
Have a look at the menu.
2 cups honey combs 220
1 cup 1% milk 110
1 banana 105
1 T peanut butter 95
4oz hot capicola 240
1 lavash bread 100
lettuce/pickle 15
less than a T miracle whip 25
2 Multigrain English muffins 200
2 oz light mozz cheese 160
1.5 oz turkey pepperoni 105
2 T pizza sauce 30
onion/jalapenos 15
2 oranges 170
Other than dinner Monday and Tuesday's menu's are pretty much exactly the same and that's just fine by me, I am hydrated and with the 25 minutes on the bike along with the 25 minutes on the treadmill not to mention the 5 minute fit that I had on the elliptical which I am sure amused at least a couple people I am very pleased with my exercise for the day as well. I will not make it to the gym today so I will exercise at home, it is down pouring rain with lightning currently so I will have to get creative, perhaps a yoga dvd and some calisthenics, we shall see.
It would appear that I am back in full swing again and am looking forward to Friday so that I can see how many pounds I dropped this week, something tells me it will be a decent week on that front. I am finding that going to the gym is actually very productive for me in the way that I somehow feel like I should work a bit harder because I am there, or maybe its the being in an atmosphere where everyone is working out that makes it easier to do 50 minutes of straight cardio and only stopping because its time to pick up the little one from school, either way so far its been a good choice to join.
With that another day in the life of the fat man is out there for your eyes, Thanks for following along and don't forget that H2O because in my mostly humble opinion its a very important part of weight loss.

Wisconsin Lutheran College wants to rezone 15 homes it bought in Wauwatosa so it can change one for use as office space and allow more students to move into the others.
Dozens of neighbors worried about continued expansion by the college into the residential community came to the Plan Commission on Monday to voice their concerns. They worried that rezoning would just open the door to replacing the buildings with larger dormitories or classroom buildings in the future.
Homeowners said they have battled the college for nearly 30 years. It purchased less than 10 acres of land in Milwaukee initially and has been expanding to the east into Wauwatosa since then, residents said.
"This is something that's really going to have a big impact on our neighborhood and our property values," resident Tom Genack said.
Commissioner Jody Lowe moved that the college's request be held for a month so the college can bring forward information about its plans for future growth and, specifically, about the parcels on Bluemound Road, Maywood Avenue, Bel Air Court and Wisconsin Avenue. The college owns additional homes in the neighborhood that aren't up for rezoning at this time.
Gary Schmid, vice president of finance for Wisconsin Lutheran, said the college has made a business decision to ask for rezoning so it can place a larger number of students into the homes, he said. The college's enrollment continues to grow and it is working with a consultant on a master plan for the future.
Schmid said he's not an expert on the history of the school's development issues with the city. There has been a turnover in the college's administration in recent years.
The college will hold a neighborhood meeting at 6:30 p.m. today in the Reichel Lecture Hall of the Center for Arts and Performance on the campus at 8800 W. Bluemound Road.
