By Juan Barquin
An undeniably charming homage to Hollywood in the late '20s, The Artist will probably be the most successful silent movie since the days of the Gish sisters. It might also be the first silent film many of its viewers have ever seen.
French writer-director Michel Hazanavicius, who has previously struck gold by mining the past with his Bond-era spoofs (and Gallic box office hits) OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006) and OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009), eases neophytes' discomfort by creating the cinematic equivalent of an amuse-bouche (an amuse-oeil?). Although many of the technical aspects of the silent period are expertly re-created — shooting at 22 frames per second, the boxy 1:33 aspect ratio — The Artist's blithe presentation of the transition from sound to talkies is even less complex than the one found in Singin' in the Rain.
The film opens in 1927, when preening matinee idol George Valentin (Jean Dujardin, the lead in the OSS 117 capers), saluting his life-size self-portrait in his mansion every morning, is still the top draw at Kinograph Studios. Ignoring the increasingly icy glares from his wife (Penelope Ann Miller) across the breakfast table, George acts as a mentor to Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo), a chorus girl with big ambitions. Borrowing heavily from A Star Is Born (just as the score does, rather incongruously, from Bernard Herrmann's music for Vertigo), The Artist tracks both Peppy's ascent (through amusing montage) and George's decline as he refuses to acknowledge synchronized sound as more than a passing fad. By 1932, Peppy is attracting lines around the block for her latest movie, Beauty Spot, while George spends his afternoons passed out on a barroom floor, his Jack Russell terrier his sole remaining fan.

Or so he thinks. Peppy has never forgotten him, and the film's concluding act restores The Artist's buoyancy. The movie pivots on the spry connection between the mute (save for one scene) Dujardin and Bejo, nimble performers elegantly turned out in period finery and pomade. If the charm offensive comes on too strong at times, it's the result of a ham playing a ham: Dujardin, who won the Best Actor award at Cannes, seems incapable of not daring us to adore him, constantly arching his brow and flashing his choppers — a surfeit of cute for a character already inspired by suave silent-era smoothies such as Douglas Fairbanks.
The Artist is movie love at its most soothing. Where Guy Maddin has used the conventions of silent film to express his loony psychosexual fantasias for more than a decade, Hazanavicius sweetly asks that we not be afraid of the past.

How to Get Rich on the Salad Course
This story has been updated with new information.
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. ( MainStreet) -- Saladworks chairman and founder John Scardapane gets the same thing every time he orders from the quick-service franchise: a turkey club salad with blue cheese dressing and Russian dressing.
"Occasionally I get a sandwich, but most of the time I get a turkey club salad," the former chef says.
|Saladworks has 100 franchises on the East Coast and is expanding West and abroad.
While he may not get the healthiest item on the menu -- by far -- he sure knows the value of the people who do.Calling itself the original fresh tossed-salad concept, Saladworks has been serving up made-to-order salads since 1986. The company, based in Conshohocken, Pa., has about 100 franchised locations in a dozen states, mainly on the East Coast, another 25 locations expected to open by the end of this year and several dozen in development for 2013, Scardapane says. While its signature offering is freshly made salads and dressings, Saladworks also offers soup, sandwiches and paninis. Saladworks has consistently been listed as one of QSR's 10 Best Franchise Deals. Last year Scardapane was even named CEO of the Year by SmartCEO. "Twenty-six years ago when I founded the company nobody believed that a salad concept could work. It was my belief that the salad

Is the icy sole going to be there on the final version of this Air Jordan XI Low? You'll remember a sole-swap fiasco that went down last year at factories putting together the 'Photo Blue' Air Jordan IX, so maybe there was a mishap again in the early stages of this Air Jordan XI Low. Either way, stay tuned with Sneaker News to find out the final word when the pair releases this summer. And make sure you chime in on which you prefer after you peep the pics post-jump.

Iran has unveiled the biggest missile-equipped drone yet to be developed in the Islamic republic, the official IRNA news agency has reported.
Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan said on Monday that the reconnaissance and combat drone Fotros had a range of 2,000km, capable of covering much of the Middle East, including Israel.
"The Fotros drone has an operational range of 2,000km and can fly at an altitude of 25,000 feet, with a flight time of 16 to 30 hours," he said.
"This drone is able to carry out reconnaissance missions and carry air-to-surface rockets for combat operations,'' the official IRNA news agency quoted Dehghan as saying.
The earlier Shahed-129 (Witness-129) drone is reported to have a similar range, but can only stay aloft 24 hours.
The aircraft was tested "successfully" and "shows that sanctions imposed by the enemies are not an obstacle to the progress of the defence industry," the minister told the unveiling ceremony.
He said the new drone is a key strategic addition to Iran's military capabilities, and was developed despite tough sanctions against Iran over its suspect nuclear programme.
"Sanctions by enemies can't create an obstacle in the path of progress for our defense industries,'' IRNA quoted him as saying.
Self-sufficiency programme
Sanctions were imposed on Iran for its refusal to halt uranium enrichment, a programme that can be used to produce nuclear fuel or materials for a warhead.
In late September, the elite Revolutionary Guards announced the mass production of the "Shahed 129" drone, which it said has a range of 1,700km.
In the same month, Iran unveiled a reconnaissance drone named "Yasseer," which was said to be capable of flying for eight hours with a range of 200km and at an altitude of 4,500 meters.
Yasseer was based on the US ScanEagle drone, a model of which Tehran claimed to have captured in December last year and reproduced since then.
The Iranian army also recently boasted that it was producing a series of drones called Rad-85.
Iran has pursued a military self-sufficiency programme since 1980s, and frequently announces technological breakthroughs including the building of jet fighters, tanks, missile, submarines, torpedoes and drones. Most cannot be independently confirmed.

Phobias Name Definition: Dermatopathophobia
What is the phobia, Dermatopathophobia the fear of?
Dermatopathophobia is the fear of skin diseases.
What is dermatopathophobia commonly known as?
Dermatopathophobia is also known as the following:
- Dermatopathophobia
- The fear of skin diseases
- The phobia of skin diseases
- The fear of skin conditions
- The phobia of skin conditions
- The fear of skin problems
- The phobia of skin problems
What Causes Dermatopathophobia?
Dermatopathophobia comes from an unconscious 'overprotection' mechanism.
Dermatopathophobia is usually caused by the mind over-protecting us from something that it believes at some level may be a genuine danger to us, believing that skin diseases presents an actual threat.
Dermatopathophobia is often caused by the 'thoughts' that a person has about things. These thoughts can quickly get caught up in a 'spiral', and when this happens it can bring about a lot of anxiety and stress for the person.
Can Dermatopathophobia Be Treated?
Yes, dermatopathophobia can be treated. Dermatopathophobia responds well to interventions such as hypnotherapy, as well as a more cognitive approach.
This can be done as either self-help, or via one-to-one help with a therapist trained in helping with phobias such as this.
Improving problems can be relatively straightforward, when you know what to do
You might be relieved to know that there are a few things that issues like these tend to have in common. They are often to do with the way you think about the problem, and while they can be relatively straightforward to change when you know what they are, they can be difficult to spot if you don't.
Our self-help programme
The Avon HypnoCognition® Programme has been designed to help with issues like this.
We've helped lots of people over the years to see what's behind their problems, and we can help you to do this too. We can show you how to recognise these things for yourself, and we've put all this info into a self-help programme.

Economists From Charles River Associates (CRA) Provide Antitrust & Competition Analyses In Office Depot/OfficeMax Merger
Charles River Associates (NASDAQ: CRAI), a worldwide leader in providing economic, financial, and management consulting services, today announced that the Company assisted Office Depot with securing antitrust clearance from the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for its merger with OfficeMax. On November 1, 2013, the FTC announced it had unanimously voted to close its seven-month investigation into the proposed $1.2 billion merger of the office supply superstores (OSS), and concluded that the merger is unlikely to lessen competition in the sale of consumable office supplies.
In its decision, the FTC noted how event studies demonstrated that Office Depot and OfficeMax retail prices do not respond to the closing or opening of one another's stores. The event studies conducted by CRA's economists showed that Office Depot and OfficeMax pricing is not uniquely constrained by competition with one another, even in locations where Staples does not have a store nearby. CRA's econometric analysis demonstrated that post-merger prices will be constrained by broad competition, including competition with other retail formats, such as mass merchants, club stores, and online commerce. In closing its investigation, the FTC concurred that "[a]ll of the econometrics … indicate that the merger is unlikely to lead to anticompetitive price increases."
The FTC also investigated the potential competitive effects of contract sales. CRA economists conducted empirical analyses of the two companies' bid and win/loss data for contract sales to businesses, which showed that both companies compete against a broad set of competitors other than office superstores, including national and regional, brick-and-mortar, and internet suppliers. In addition, CRA's analyses of the data showed that customers have many options in procuring contract office supply services. In its decision, the FTC concurred that "[n]on-OSS competitors are growing in number and strength and have demonstrated the ability to win large, multi-regional and national customer contracts." CRA economists also assisted Office Depot with its responses to the FTC's Second Request.

I have just returned to Nova after a while and realised the most recent apps is gone from the app drawer. This was the main recent I downloaded Nova, why has this been removed?
Shaun commented
This is now done via the new search method in menu icons, when you click the search button in menu it displays apps that are recently used or installed

Think this was added or included by default in the app drawer search just add to the newest beta

The PsychCentral Newsroom had a nice piece on brief behavioral therapy for insomnia. Innability to sleep is the most common sleep complaint and one of the most common psychological symptoms reported overall. It can be related to many other significant problems like depression and anxiety, and there are a variety of treatment methods. Many folks turn to medication but others go for psychotherapy since it can help a person better understand the problem and work toward a sustainable solution. The current article says,
"These preliminary findings are consistent with previous studies that have shown that brief behavioral insomnia interventions can be efficacious and remain efficacious in older adults who present with the typical psychiatric and medical comorbidities associated with aging," the authors wrote."
One of the most oft cited people in sleep discussions on the web is Dr. Kripke, who has a behavioral method of solving a variety of sleep problems. It's simple: wake up at the same time every day no matter what, and only go to sleep when you are tired (plus a series of other steps like avoiding caffeine). The other key in my opinion is understanding whatever underlying problems also exist that manifest as insomnia.

.- The Democratic National Committee's senior religion advisor resigned yesterday after the Catholic League released a report, which revealed her support to remove the phrase "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.
Rev. Brenda Bartella Peterson told the Washington Post that she made her decision "after the New York-based Catholic League issued three blistering news releases attacking her positions."
She also told Religion News Service, "It was no longer possible for me to do my job effectively."
"Why are Kerry and the DNC imploding on religion? Because too many of the elites running the show are devout secularists, who put a premium on freedom from religion," said Catholic League president William Donohue.
"Kerry and the DNC now have two strikes against them in their religious outreach efforts," he said. "Whether they strike out is up to them. We're certainly not dropping out of the game, and we're certainly monitoring Bush and the Republican National Committee on this subject just as closely."

What to build for a first time builder??e
I'm looking for suggestions for a very simple plane that a first time builder can make from dupron or FFF. The plan would need to be a real slowflyer that could be flown in a small area such as a front/back yard
|Sep 22, 2006, 10:08 PM
Heres a link to some planes made by GPW (RCG Member). Many of them have build logs here. http://www.foamfly.com/gallery/Glen?&page=1
You could also check the sticky at the top of the Electric Planes. JAM has compiled a great list of plans. Hope this helps.
|Sep 23, 2006, 01:02 AM
flyboy - check out the UFO thread... (another of gpw's).
It can be flown on an IPS drive to make a slow-fly/floater.
Just keep it light, stick with light gear/battery and it'll fly very slow...
-mike s.
|Sep 23, 2006, 08:46 AM
If you're looking for detailed help, try Waterdog's STC. He includes a downloadable build guide which is excellent if you are just getting started. Unless you're an experienced flyer, you won't want to try this (or most other planes) in your back yard.
Let us know how it goes!
|Sep 23, 2006, 08:54 AM
Check this one out. Very simple, use light gear, quicly built. This was the first foamie I made and still hangs in my cellar.
|Sep 23, 2006, 10:08 AM
My first foamie from plans was Waterdogs STC due to the build guide. I always recommend it aswell to friends that show interest, but I must admit, GPW's ufo is such a fast build and so easy and flies so sweetly and really does not need a build guide. I would be tempted to say make both to start, ufo first because you can have it done and in the air in half an hour. Then you can putt along building the STC every time you must come home to charge batteries.

msmith - Ok I read the thread of the UFO and certianly looks simple. I have a sheet of dupron to work from but no micro electronics I would need the whole set up, motor, prop, servo, bat, etc.
Can you select (detail) the electronics to use and best place to purchase? Not sure if i want to start with a 16" or 21" UFO.
I would appriate any additional suggestions
|Sep 23, 2006, 04:20 PM
I second the vote for the UFO. Simple to make , but flies nicely.
You do not have any RC components at all? Or just no micro stuff?
You'll need a transmitter with elevon mixing for starters.
If you are serious...ill send you a GWS 4ch pico RX for free to start you off. ( i have many just laying around)
The cheapest way to go is brushed setup for motor. Although nowadays a cheap brushless setup is quite doable.
Esc: depends on motor. For brushed motors...I beleive msmith has some for sale..perhaps he will chime in on this. GWS has a 5 amp esc that is cheap yet reliable. Brushless motors...You can get a cheap bl esc for $ 20 some even cheaper.
Motors: To brush or not to brush. Brushed motors are cheaper..but brushless motors are getting cheaper by the day it seems. Many of us have had good luck with a cheap johnson 250 brushed motor. If you want slow flight, a lrger prop would help. Although the j250 with a 4x2.5 prop will kinda fly slow if you want to.
Servos: 2x micro sized ....hitec hs55's are good as well as the GWS pico servos. There are some cheap Bluearrow servos for $9 apeice but they are not the greatest...but will work.
Props: depends on motor and batt.
Battery: here is the tricky part. You'll need to purchase a lithium poly chrger if you go the lithium poly route. A 2 cell lipo works well for brushed setups.
A 3 cel lipo for when you wanna really boogie with a brushless moto !
Off the top of my head there is one place that carries all of this : Bphobbies.com
Hope this helps !!
Make a UFO...you'll love it. Join the alien nation

sparrow1717 - I have parkflyer gear mostly speed 400, HS-61 servo, Nimh batterys, etc but no micro gear.
I was looking for specific recommendations because I don't know much about the micro stuff and I want to make sure everything would work together and I could use the gear again on the next plane.
Does anyone sell a starter set of micro gear maybe with a plane that would be cheaper then buying indiviually ??
|Sep 23, 2006, 05:25 PM
GWS has a pico flight pack. 1 pico rx , 2 pico servos a 5amp esc and a 7 cell NIMH batt in one package.
Here : http://www.allerc.com/product_info.p...oducts_id=1001
Motor : http://www.allerc.com/product_info.p...oducts_id=1599
with a GWS 9x7 RS prop
EDIT** The esc with that package is not good enough Its rated for 3 amps !! hmmm...you could still get it and buy the one msmith has for sale though !!!!!! Keep the little 3 amp esc for a small brushed plane project.
Ive ordered from AlleRC...great company , fast shipment.
hope this helps
|Sep 23, 2006, 11:45 PM
I love ordering from allerc. They're one of those 'magic' companies that gets my orders to me 1/2 way across the country in usually 1-2 days.
I do have 3 esc's for sale, and if they're going on scratchbuilt foamies, then I'll sell them for $25.00 shipped
Will also throw in a (3) J250's. This is just for the scratchbuilt foamies folks though.
Yeah, gws pico servos are some of my favorites... reliable, and for $8.00 each they can't be beat. Well... i guess they could if they were free somewhere else.
|Sep 24, 2006, 04:40 PM
msmith...where can I find GWS pico servos for $8.00? I like using them but have been paying $14.00 for them.

Amazing, Tower sells them for $8.31 with a JR plug but charges $13.00 for the same servo with a Futaba plug. Guess which plug type I need?

I have been having a weird go of things lately. I have been feeling down for no real reason and although I haven't binged too much or at all really I just haven't been in the mood for calorie counting or working out. I do it anyways and always feel better afterwards but I guess I am experiencing something a lot of us seem to be going through. I just feel fed up some days. I'm not ready to throw the towel in yet because I have had a ton of success I just wish all the days were easy or at least easier than they have been.
I think alot to do with my mood has to do with some of the girls in my life. I have a few girls that I work with that haven't been the best friends in the world when it comes to weight loss. For example 1 girl who is 6 years older than me never gives me a straight compliment, everything is done in a backhanded manner. For example she'll say "You are doing so great, but of course you can you're only 25" or "I'm proud of you(and then muttering under her breath "You skinny B". Normally this wouldn't bother me, let the haters hate, but there comes a point when I realize I am the 25 year old, I should be the one acting like that and I'm not. She should be acting better and setting a better example and she doesn't. To top it all off she has the nerve to ask me for advice on losing weight so she can get pregnant. Part of me wants to sabotage her and part of me(the bigger person part) is helpful and encourages her. It just sucks when I get treated like crap but always let people do it. GRRR
The other girl at work is actually a close friend outside of work as well. She and I get along great, our husbands are good friends and the 4 of us go out often. They were the only friends invited to our wedding, so they are very important to us. However this woman all of the sudden has been making me feel bad about myself. She will make offhanded comments about what I'm eating, especially if it's something I wouldn't usually eat- candy, cookies, pizza, you get the point. The thing that kills me here is that she eats this crap all day long but has the nerve to say something to me. ANNOYING. Just like my other frienemy she also wants advice on dieting and has started this new phrase "I will lose the last 50 lbs with you" WHOOOAA WHOOOAAA WHOOOAAAA I don't need anyone to lose the last 50lbs with me. I lost the first 90 on my own and I certainly can lose these last few all on my own. Not to mention I don't even have 50 left to lose. She should lose the weight for herself, not to compete with me and that;s what it is. It's not like she wants a diet and excercise buddy, she wants to compete and she doesn't do it the right way. She'll take Stackers, eat no dinner and work out like a nut just to win and I am not interested in getting sucked into that terrible cycle with her. She's done it before and obviously gained it all back which is a sign that it doesn't work. I dunno maybe I just let too much of this get to me.
Let me tell you about these crazy dreams I had last night. To begin with anyone down in the MD/DC/VA area is probably having the outrageous wind going on currently. This wind was so strong it has pulled trees down all over my neighborhood- big healthy trees. In any case it also happened to pull a shutter off of my house at 3 am and bang it against the house for a solid hour. I was freaked out because it sounded like someone had broken into our home and was rummaging through drawers. I wasn't aware how windy it was outside, hubby works nights so he was gone and it was just me and the puppies in bed. They were freaking out too which is what really sent me into a panic. Needless to say I had a restless sleep after that and I had to pee but was too scared to leave our bedroom so it didn't make for the best night's sleep. In any case when I did fall asleep I had 2 terrible nightmares. The first was actually about people breaking into the house. I dreamt that they took my engagement ring(I can't wear it currently because it's too big) which was in it's box on my bureau(it's now locked in our gun safe). They also took misc items like hubby's Playstation 3 but not his Xbox 360 and in my dream I rationalized this by saying that everyone already has an Xbox so why would they steal that? It was just weird and made me uneasy. That's one of my biggest fears on the nights that Tom isn't home. I don't know many neighbors and I doubt they would come running if they heard me screaming anyway.
My second dream was worse. I have a beautiful long haired dachshund, Sophie, that hubby got for my birthday 2 years ago. She was hit by a car July 2008 and had to have her back leg amputated. I treat her like a princess because I feel bad for all that we put her through but I couldn't imagine my life without her. In any case in this dream my mom convinced me that Sophie had Sepsis and that she was going to die a painful death. She encouraged me to put her out of her misery by stabbing her with a butcher knife. I did it but didn't kill her. The rest of the dream was spent trying to find someone to help me finish killing her, finding out that she didn't have the disease, and then ultimately damaging her spinal cord so she partially paralyzed. Yikes what a dream. I think I watch Snapped too late at night or something. It was weird because I could never put that dog to sleep or hurt her. That was why we opted to amputate the leg, they encouraged us to save the money and put her to sleep and I couldn't do it. I am very attached to our pets. All this led to me waking up in a crummy mood.
On a brighter note, we did adopt a new dog about 3 weeks ago. He is too cute for words. He's a 5 month old Papillion mix and we named him Remington- Remi for short. He and Sophie wrestle all day long and still bicker a little but are learning to love one another. He doesn't have too many bad habits to break and so far we couldn't be happier to have him. Adopting him was one of our new year's resolutions and I'm happy to have one checked off before the first month is even over.
I think I need to blog more that way every entry isn't this long.
I am taking a cue from everyone else, although mine is a little late, and putting my New Year's resolutions out there. A friend of mine once told me that she believed that in order for things to happen you needed to put them out there in the universe. The best is obviously paper and pen so that there is something to hold you accountable to so here goes.
2010 Resolutions
1. Weight loss- I want to continue on the path that I am heading and get to my goal weight and maintain it. I want to focus on truly becoming a healthy person, with a healthy mind and body. Tom and I both made this a focus this year and I know that we will accomplish this together.
2. Money- pay off as much debt as we can this year- hopefully about 1/3 and also start saving money. I want us to build up our savings, which we depleted when we had to put Sophie through so many surgeries. I know that we can pay this debt off we just need to buckle down and do it.
3. Wife- work on building our relationship as husband and wife. Take time each week/day to show Tom my appreciation of him and all that he does. I want to spend time doing the little things that I know make him happy, even if it's just making him a delicious dessert. He is a great man and an awesome husband so far and I don't think I tell him often enough that he is amazing.
4. House- finish painting the rooms of the house and work on hanging things up so this looks like our home and not a rental. Determine what changes we want to make this year if any- flooring, appliances, etc. We have lived in our house for almost 2 years and have only 1 room completely finished. Sometimes working on the house takes a back burner to other things going on, so I want us to make this a priority. I will never consider Baltimore my home, especially if our house doesn't feel like it's ours.
5. Puppy- adopt or purchase a dog and get them adjusted to our home life. We have been scouring the ASPCA websites as well as contacting breeders. I would love to have another mini dachshund, mainly because as silly as it sounds, Sophie does recognize other dogs of the same breed. She gravitates towards them, probably because they are on her level. I really want to find a puppy friend for her to help us make this family more complete.
6. Baby- start trying for baby Seftick #1 before the end of the year- begin the process in October 2010. October is a tentative date for us. We know we want to start a family we just aren't ready at this moment. Tom wants to make sure he is secure in his job, he is always so practical and we want to make sure we don't rush into anything, especially since we have been married less than a month. Regardless I am excited to bring a baby into this world, especially if they look like him, I think he's gorgeous.
7. Dates- really make good use of the time Tom and I have together. Plan dates, vacations, weekends away so that we can spend quality time together. We have limited time together. Since he works nights his schedule is weird and we don't often end up with 3 weekend days together. I really want us to focus on having quality time together even when the quantity isn't much. We often just spend a night on the couch watching movies and I think we should focus on getting out more, especially since we haven't done much exploring of Baltimore.
8. 5k- run at least 1 5k this year and encourage Tom to run it with me. This is self explanatory. I have been upping my mileage on the treadmill and have been running 3-5 miles at least 3 days a week so I know I can do it, it's a matter of committing to a date now. YIKES
9. Housework- get better at managing my time and housecleaning so that I don�t have to spend an entire day cleaning. Truly strive for the clean 1 room a day plan so that I don�t have to spend 8 hours cleaning on a Saturday. This is something I worked on for awhile and when it was getting done it was beautiful, but then Tom started working nights, making it me cleaning all the time. Not to mention when is home I would rather sit and cuddle with him than run the vaccum. This will be a big one for us this year, working on balancing it all.
10. Family and Friends- be a better friend, daughter, daughter in law, sister, aunt, etc. I didn't get to spend nearly as much time in Pittsburgh in 2009 and I want to spend more in 2010. My family and I are very close and when I only get to see them 1 time every 3 months it takes a toll on me and my relationship with them and Tom. I want to encourage them to come visit me more often as well.
This is a lot to strive for this year but I know that I can do it. Looking back at all that I accomplished in 2009 proves to me that I am ready for all that life has to give me. Good luck to everyone and their goals, it's time to get fired up for a great 2010.
We are officially married. I still can't believe it. For the past 3 days both of us have just continued walking around saying Husband and Wife. I can't believe I let all of that stress of planning almost take away from one of the happiest moments of my life.
Thursday Tom and I spent the day in Pittsburgh with my nephew. I had to do some last minute wedding shopping as well as finalize hair and nail appointments. We took him to McDonald's so he could play and in general just hung out and enjoyed out last day before the wedding. Thursday night he slept at his Aunt and Uncle's house while I stayed with my mom so that we could have the traditional night apart.
Friday I went and got my hair and nails done with my mom. It was all very last minute which stressed my mom out but I felt fine. I wasn't nervous more antsy that things were not going to be as smooth as I had wanted them to be. After my beauty appointments it was time to get dressed and head to the magistrate. Of course I was the first to arrive and Tom was very close to being late.
We had quite possible the quickest marriage ceremony ever but it was funny. Our friends and family that came with us joked with us and the JP and it made it that much more memorable. Finally it was time to kiss and my new husband decides to be a jokester. I was wearing tall shoes so he reached up on his tip toes to kiss me. This started a giggle fest for everyone. It was something I will never forget though.
After the ceremony we headed over the the place we choose to have dinner. They did a wonderful job of setting everything up the way I wanted. Our cake looked and tasted delicious and the food from the restaurant was great as well although I didn't eat much.
We had such a nice night. It was everything I could have hoped for and more. I am so glad we finally just did it our way and stopped worrying about everyone else and making them happy. We had a beautiful hotel room to stay in Friday and Saturday night. It had a great view of the rivers in Pittsburgh with tall 10 foot windows.
Saturday we got up and had breakfast with my family and my friends from Maryland who were about to leave. We made a ginger bread house with my nephew and then had my birthday dinner with Tom's parents.(did I mention that Friday was also my 25th birthday?)
Sunday we woke up to an ice storm in Pittsburgh which doesn't happen often so we got to spend the day iced in. We cuddled watched movies and ate like pigs.
Overall the weekend was perfect. I weighed myself this morning and I only gained 1.6 lbs which is great considering that Thursday night I literally ate 4 pieces of buttered Italian bread from our favorite bakery. YIKES. Definitely a carb loaded weekend but I am back and focused.
Everyone had such positive feedback about my weight loss and how I looked that now I am more determined than ever to get rid of this last 45 lbs.
Here are some pics and I hope you all enjoy them
exchanging rings
OK so Tom and I had intially decided to have a destination wedding in Jamaica. Recently I have been soooo stressed about wedding planning. He and I are paying for the wedding and yet I still was trying to please everyone but myself. Ultimately I have gotten so frustrated and been in tears so much that I decided I didn't even want to get married. I didn't see the point. We have been together for 5 years and have bought a house and have a puppy. If we didn't want to be together we wouldn't and a silly piece of paper isn't going to keep us together. In any case I knew that his parents(mainly his very religious mother) would not be happy with us continuing to live in sin and possibly bringing Bastard children into this world. Although I disagree with this whole line of thought I do want to be married to Tom. I do want us to share the committment a man and wife share regardless of the stress.
Long story short I woke up a few weeks ago and said why don't we just have a justice of the peace ceremony. He has been joking about this for weeks but I always blow him off because I did want my mom and his parents to be there and they can;t just pick up and come to Maryland at any given moment. The more we thought about it the more we realized the marriage isn't going to be about 1 day of our lives, but rather a journey that begins when you say I do. We are quite ok with having a small ceremony in a courthouse and then having a nice dinner with family and friends(maybe a party this summer) so plans have evolved and it looks like we are getting married in the next 60 days in Pittsburgh(that's how long your marriage license is valid until you have to get another).
This is where my dilemma begins. JOP weddings are small and relatively inexpensive- which works fine with me. We are upgrading my band with the money we saved on skipping the big wedding. My girlfriend here in Maryland went out with me on Saturday to look at dresses and get an idea of what I wanted. I think I may have found "The one" problem is that the dress is $400 not including alterations. This is very inexpensive for most wedding dresses but I am unsure of whether I want to spend that much on a dress for a wedding that may only cost $1000 total. I know it's only 1 day and I should wear what I want and blah blah blah but I am also concerned that this is a little more formal than I was looking for. This is why I can't be sure that it is "The One". The other slight problem is that I have to order it ASAP for it to get here and be altered in time for the wedding in December. I am so puzzled and need to make a decision before the end of this week 1 way or the other. The pic is below so tell me what you think please?
It seems like a lot of people on here write a blog everyday. I guess it's my turn to jump on board.
I will recap my questionable weekend and crappy start to the week.
Saturday Tom took me shopping at the outlets near us. I was so excited to finally buy some new clothes. All of my work clothes are huge and quite honestly embarassing to wear. I am a firm believer that you feel good when you look good. Although it feels nice to know that clothes that were once too tight are now huge it doesn't feel good to think you look sloppy and unkept. When I began my journey I was squeezing myself into an 18-20 (I really probably should have been wearing a 22) and was excited when 18's I haven't worn in over a year became too big to wear. This all seemed great especially when I considered clothing shopping. It did not turn out that way however. Within an hour of arriving at the outlets and trying things on I became discouraged and gave up. It appears that I am in between an 18 and a 16 now(YAY) which is great on the surface but crappy in general. I refuse to buy 18 which are already a little too big because I KNOW they will be too big soon enough and 16's are too tight to make me feel comfortable. After going to the Gap, Banana Republic, Levis, and countless other clothing stores and finding nothing that I thought looked "good" I gave up. Needless to say I didn't leave the outlets with much in hand, which is rare for me because I always find deals.
Sunday Tom and I went to the Renaissance Festival. I was not looking forward to this at all. I had been forewarned about the types of people who frequent the festival and although I applaude them for living in their own fantasy world I just do not get it. I knew there would be people dressed up and getting into and it is not my cup of tea(I hated playing Barbies when I was young) Regardless I put a smile on my face and got out there with Tom. The weather was fantastic and we were out in the woods with the sun shining. Tom had some beer and turkey legs while we watched the Joust- which was awesome. We walked around and browsed the shops and other food vendors before I chose to eat a piece of chicken on a stick and a pickle. Tom then ate regular chip french fries(I ate some-yummy) and funnel cake french fries. He drives me crazy eating whatever he wants all the time. Regardless after a few hours even he had had enough of the festival and we left. There wasn't much in the way of entertainment, it was mostly shopping and that wasn't the kind of shopping I enjoy.
Monday would have been fine if I wasn't up almost 2 lbs from my Friday weigh in. That started me off on a bad foot and made me cranky. I generally do not like Mondays as it is but especially not when I am up in the lbs. Work was busy as it always is on Mondays and everyone- I MEAN EVERYONE is sick breathing their germs all over the place. I hate being sick, most people do, and can not figure out why everyone doesn't stay home when they are sick. No no they would rather come to work and blow their noses and germs all over the rest of us who are not sick. It's gross. I don't feel sick yet- knock on wood and hope that I do not catch these nasty germs. Last night we went over to one of Tom's coworkers house for a cookout and to watch the GreenBay/VIkings game. I do not typically watch or follow football other than keeping an eye on whether the Steeler's won or not so I don't know how I got roped into going. I baked cupcakes to take with us for their kids and thought it would be good for us to meet other couples. Needless to say besides the hostess I was the only other female. Apparently the other ladies backed out, which would have been fine but seriously who wants to watch football with a bunch of guys. Especially when the guys were seriously into the game and I was more concerned with the fact they were wearing pink for Breast Cancer month. We left at half time and that was already way past my bedtime. I was tired and cranky this morning because I didn't make it to the gym and now I just feel blah.
I was hoping this would get this blahness out of my system and make me feel better. It did help a little. I am looking forward to getting home and getting some heavy duty cleaning done. Cleaning always makes me feel better. It gives me a sense of control and I love having a freshly cleaned room. Tonight is also catch up on Girly TiVo Tv shows since Tom is working. YAY for Gossip Girl.
AT least tomorrow is HUMP DAY

Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Jet fuel's premium to October gasoil rose as Morgan Stanley bought barges. Diesel gained. Distillate spreads also increased after Royal Dutch Shell Plc shut some processing units, including a hydrocracker, after a fire at its refinery in Singapore that was put out after two days.
Gasoil traded on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange fell. Naphtha and gasoline prices declined.
Light Products
Trafigura Beheer BV bought a cargo of naphtha from Glencore International Plc at $902 a metric ton, according to a survey of traders and brokers monitoring the Platts pricing window, which ends at 4:30 p.m. London time. That compares with a trade yesterday at $917 a ton.
Naphtha's discount to Brent increased to $2.99 a barrel from $2.90 yesterday, according to PVM Oil Associates Ltd., a crude and refined products broker in London.
Gasoline for immediate loading in Amsterdam-Rotterdam- Antwerp traded from $928 to $933 a ton, according to a survey of traders and brokers monitoring the Argus Bulletin Board. That compares with trades yesterday at $937 and $940 a ton.
Gunvor Group Ltd. bought 7,000 tons of the 10,000 tons that changed hands. Royal Dutch Shell Plc was the main seller. The trades, typically of 1,000 tons or 2,000 tons, are for Eurobob grade, to which ethanol is added to make finished motor fuel.
Greenergy International Ltd. bought a cargo of gasoline from Morgan Stanley at $942 a ton, priced for delivery to the U.K. from Oct. 9 to Oct. 13, according to the survey of Platts.
Gasoline's premium to Brent increased to $6.47 a barrel from $6.16 yesterday, according to PVM. That's the biggest spread since Aug. 31.
Middle Distillates
Morgan Stanley purchased jet fuel barges at premiums of $80 and $83 to October gasoil, according to the survey of Platts. That compares with a trade on Sept. 27 at a $69 premium. A cargo also changed hands today at $82 a ton more than the October gasoil contract.
Diesel barges rose $3, trading at a premium of $36.50 a ton to October gasoil, the survey showed.
Cargill SA purchased a gasoil cargo, partly priced at a $10 a ton premium to October futures gasoil for delivery to Barcelona, the survey of Platts showed. That's in line with a deal yesterday.
Gasoil barges traded at discounts of $3 and $3.50 a ton to the futures contract, the survey showed, in line with yesterday's trades.
Gasoil for October dropped 0.7 percent to $900.75 a ton as of 5:36 p.m. London time on the ICE exchange. The November contract fell 0.8 percent to $896.50 a ton. The low-sulfur grade closed today at $906.75 a ton for delivery in January, without trading, according to ICE data on Bloomberg.
Gasoil's crack, a measure of refining profitability, widened to $15.47 a barrel from $15.25 yesterday, according to ICE data. Front-month Brent rose 1.1 percent to $104.93 a barrel on the ICE exchange.
Low-sulfur fuel oil fell $3 to $626 a ton, according to the survey of Platts. High-sulfur grade traded at $600.25 to $608 a ton, the survey showed. That compares with deals yesterday at $609 to $613.
Shell shut processing units at its Pulau Bukom refinery in Singapore following a fire that raged for two days. The plant is the world's biggest, able to process 500,000 barrels of crude a day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Joe Jonas' alleged sex tape may or may not have happened, however, another Jonas brother — Nick — is having sex on camera. The hunky actor strips down for his new movie, 'Careful What You Wish For!'
Nick Jonas recently finished shooting a sexy new thriller with Isabel Lucas in Lake Norman, California. The once squeaky clean Disney star's part in Careful What You Wish For is "a different role than anything [he's] ever done before."
Isabel Lucas & Nick Jonas Sex Scene — 'Careful What You Wish For' Movie Reveal
"It's definitely a different role than anything I've ever done before, one of those things I really wanted to challenge myself," Nick told NBC Charlotte.
Nick, 20, and Isabel, 28, recently shot a very intimate scene, which was filmed on a closed set!
Nick says his fans will likely be surprised by this role and that it's a big departure from the Disney movies we're used to seeing him in.
Nick plays a man who has an affair with his married next-door neighbor (Isabel Lucas). Everything then spirals out of control when her husband is found dead on the floor! (Sounds creepy!)
Nick Jonas Will Show Sex Scene To His Parents
"It doesn't make me nervous, I think it's important for me to take steps and continue to grow as an actor and push myself in this way. I think, for the audience, they have to be prepared to come see a movie that's pretty intense," Nick added.
Nick, who was persuaded to take a vow of chastity during his upbringing, said he will show the movie to his parents upon its release. "The whole movie is not sex. It's a part of the movie. The story overall is an exciting one, and one I think people will be taken by," Nick said.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you looking forward to Nick Jonas' sex scene?

Chewy, Chunky Blondies
Posted by: Brian on | Leave a comment

Sweet Chic Chocolate Chip Cookies
