Psycho California Announces 2015 Lineup
Psycho California has announced the headliners for this year's event: Cult of Luna (May 15th), Sleep (May 16th) and Pentagram, who will perform "First Daze Here" in its entirety (May 17th).
"2015 is going to be a slow year for Cult of Luna. However as much as we are musicians we are also fans," said Cult of Luna's Johannes Persson. "Evaluating if the offer to play Psycho California was worth dusting off our instruments was not hard after looking on the line-up. Being on the same bill as Pentagram, Sleep and a festival packed with the best bands around is a privilege in itself and we'll try to live up to that honor."

Festival interludes will be provided by Housecore Records' artist Author & Punisher and vinyl DJ set from Bob Lugowe (Relapse Records) and Sean Pellet (Last Daze Here).
Previously announced early bird tickets sold out immediately. Tickets for the festival are on-sale this morning with both a 3-day pass ($149.50) and a 3-day VIP pass available ($256.66)

Conan Recruits New Bassist
Conan's new album "Blood Eagle" is due out March 3rd (EU) and March 11th (North America) via Napalm Records, and the full album is now available for streaming at this location. The band has also now issued the following announcement about bringing on a new bassist:
"Chris Fielding has replaced Phil Coumbe on bass and backing vocals.
"There are two ways of doing this….. The first one is to react quickly and tell the world the minute the news occurs and then scramble around panicking….. Or the other way is to wait until everything has settled down and let people know when everything is sorted.
"We chose the latter.
"We finished recording Blood Eagle at the end of October 2013, looking forward to the year ahead and slowly making plans for our tours in March, April and May. However, on the 15th November Paul and I received a message from Phil stating that he wished to leave the band. For reasons that will remain personal to Phil he felt that he could no longer commit to the band and did not feel that he could honour the touring arrangements that we were putting together for 2014.

Conan Announces New Tour Dates
After signing with Napalm Records earlier this year, U.K. outfit Conan has now announced upcoming European tour dates. Details are available in the tour poster below, or over at the band's Facebook profile here.
Conan Signs With Napalm Records
U.K. "Caveman Battle Doom" act Conan, featuring ex-Black Magician bassist/vocalist John McNulty, have signed on with Napalm Records for the band's sophomore full length release, the followup to the 2012 debut "Monnos." No time frame was announced for the new LP.
Napalm Records commented: "Conan's unique style of Doom/Drone/Stoner Metal won over audiences at the Roadburn Festival 2012 consequently resulting in the release of the live album 'Mount Wrath: Live at Roadburn 2012'. Past shows with label mates AHAB and an invitation to play Desertfest London 2013 have further established CONAN as the DOOM Powerhouse to watch out for! Welcome to the Napalm Family!"
The band commented: "We are very happy to associated with a label such as Napalm Records / Spinning Goblin and are looking forward to seeing how the new record comes out. We turned down two other record deals, both from labels that we could have quite justifiably agreed terms with, but for several reasons we wanted to move on with Napalm once they showed interest.
"We have enjoyed excellent relationships with every label we have worked with and it would have taken something extremely special to convince us to move away from Burning World Records, with whom we have enjoyed a particularly happy period. Thanks to JP, Jurgen and Desiree for helping us into this position and supporting us so far. Everything that comes our way is a huge bonus, for we give everything and expect nothing. To be considered worthy of a label such as Napalm Records is a pretty big thing for us so we'll give it our best shot." More...
Doommantia Benefit Compilation Streaming
The first ever Doommantia compilation, "Doommantia Vol. 1," has been streaming online over at bandcamp. The anthology features over 39 bands ranging from War Injun to Bongripper, and was released to benefit Doommantia chief Ed Barnard. For those unaware, Ed has been homeless now for a couple of months but still manages to keep the Doommantia site viable online.
Ed used to have a good job until he suffered a series of two heart attacks. Those events, plus the exorbitant cost of cardial medications made paying the rent an impossibility and got him evicted from his place in Aberdeen, Washington. Now homeless, the doom and metal community has been rallying around his cause with benefit concerts and now this compilation, "Doommantia Vol. 1." All proceeds from it will help the Australian Mr. Barnard regain his self-sufficiency.

I'm mixed with this hence the 3 lippies and here's why:
Cleaning: I spray twice, once on each side of the brush or three times on a kabuki and it does clean with ease. It's not meant to fully clean and cannot replace your weekly cleaning schedule, so it does what it claims. (I've uploaded a pic of my white waffle cloth and I took about 10mins to wipe clean 20 of my brushes.
Smell: it starts off a strong floral scent, then dissipates to an alcohol hairspray-ey smell that's quite pungent. I kept sneezing in the 10 mins! Once the brushes have dried (20mins later), I smell it faintly on synthetic brushes and no smell on goat hair brushes. I read those who said the smell stays on are perhaps over-spraying it? 6 or 7 times is probably an overkill imo.
Price and package: $8 Aud is cheap, see through bottle helps to see inside but nothing fancy.
Overall: for the price you pay, it does a good job at what is should be doing which is lightly cleaning and sanitising your brushes. I find the process quick and simple, yet helps keep hygeine which is what I'm after HOWEVER... If you have sensitive noses like me, it's not worth sneezing over.
So I might persevere until it's used up whilst wearing a mask (?) and then make my own solution in the ELF spray bottle :)

I LOVE THIS STUFF! I use it after I've done my eye makeup to quickly spot clean my brushes everyday and it works wonderfully. Because seriously, who has time to wash their brushes everyday? i know I don't, so this little guy has become a staple in my beauty collection, and you really can't beat the price tag!

For $3, this is pretty amazing. I bought this, came home and cleaned out my kabuki brush, blusher brush, angled bronzer brush AND my eyeshadow brush. It didn't take much to clean out all of my brushes. 6 spritzes on each side and a wipe on some tissue and it's clean.
Everyone is talking about the scent and I don't think it smells like grandma. It smells like fruit to me and isn't too strong but that's everyone's preferance.
The price is fair considering the size of the bottle and quality of the formula.
The packaging looks very professional and makes the fluid look expensive and I think that's pretty impressive to me.
All in all, I would suggest this to anyone who is looking for a quick clean to their brushes without hurting their wallet.

This stuff smells kind of like cucumber melon body spray from B&BW, if you remember that classic scent from the 90s. I've read the other reviews that say it stinks, but I don't think it smells like a grandma or a hooker. It works great for in-between cleaning of brushes or for travel when you are trapped in a hotel room or car and need something quick and easy for your brushes. If you are applying multiple eyeshadow colors and only have one brush, it will get you through a quick change. It is also nice to use for cleaning brushes if you drop them on the floor and you don't want to or have time to scrub them.

I think that this work really well. I can spot clean my brushes in between my weekly deep cleansing which means I don't use quite as many brushes- especially eyeshadow brushes as i can just spray this, wipe it on a towel & then use the same brush with a new color PLUS doesn't leave a lingering smell once my brushes are dry! I've tried a few brush cleansers & I think this once is my favorite. I really liked Macs brush cleanser but it was so expensive so I didn't like to use it everyday but because this one is not I find myself not being afraid to use it daily..which is obviously a good thing!! ;)

I wish I had been able to see the reviews before purchasing this at Target. Thank goodness it was only $3. As other reviewers said, it is heavily perfumed. Now who thought that cleaning eyeshadow brushes with perfume was a good idea? In addition, it doesn't work at all. I had to reclean every single brush.

The smell was the first thing I noticed when I opened the package. Like other raters said, it smells like cheap perfume or my grandma's potpourri. I guess it does the job but I don't tend to cake product into my brushes. I will definitely keep the bottle once it's empty and perhaps make my own green non-smelly version of daily brush cleaner.

No good even for a spot clean. I have used other liquid brush cleaners before and this one is hands down the worst. It can't clean a brush even a tad to save it's life. Definitely a waste of good money. Bummer :(

I bought this because I was tired of having to actually deep clean my brushes every time I used them and I actually kind of like it! I have a very sensitive nose and the smell doesn't bother me, it's actually quite pleasant, and it seems to do the job in getting my brushes clean. Packaging is kind of flimsy but then again, for $3, you can't really go wrong!

We need to replace our drain field for the septic system.
It means completely moving one of my hosta beds. Question is for the bobcat loader to get to the area, they have to drive through another hosta bed - with about 4 hostas in the way. It will be November and hostas are done for the year. Is it safe for him to drive over those four? they are well established large hostas. My hostas are mostly frost bit now - can I safely move the big bed to a nursery bed for the winter? Thanks. |

oUCH ! Bobcats are not all THAT heavy, so I'd be thinking about some sort of temporary jury-rigged 'bridge' for it. Say, something like cement blocks and heavy boards. Somehow this situation seems a bit different from just 'throwing them on the driveway' . . . Just off the top of my head, hh |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 13, 12 at 15:54
no dig them up, soil and all .. and put them on the north side of a structure. and bury them in chopped up leaves or straw.. or mulch .... and leave them there until spring ... once your ground freezes ... they will just be dormant lumps.. and you can replant them in spring ... why risk it.. crimminey.. you are talking 4 hosta ... i suspect.. you will regret it.. if you choose the lazy route ... i doubt they will die.. but they will be smaller.. if not rot, come spring ... ken |
I totally agree with ken. Only 4 hostas, dig them up and given them winter mulch to prevent dessication; then plant in spring. (I think that is what ken was saying!) Last fall I'd "chunked" a bunch in the dirt like that and this year they were just fine. I do everything possible to prevent even stepping on the eyes of a dormant hostas. Bobcats are not that heavy but they are skid steer and if a wheel twisted like that over a hosta crown -WOW- that wouold be traumatic! I would either write off the hostas if I couldn't avoid dig them up, or move them as ken recommended. Les |
We had the same problem one year when we had some trees removed. We just put down a couple of sheets of plywood for the bobcat, and took them up when they were finished. It worked fine. Kept them from digging up the ground. Easier than digging up the plants. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 15, 12 at 7:29
she told me privately .. they are too big ... then get the guy with the backhoe .. who is going to dig the field ... to dig them out ... i doubt they will die .. but it would be worth my effort to move them.. good luck with whatever you choose .. ken |
I believe that I saw somewhere such construction guys have old pieces of plywood which they simply place over places they would have problems with driving over. Ask them! |

This is another recipe inspired by a cooking show. I don't like it made with bacon, so I modified the recipe to make it more consistent with my tastes and sensibilities. Pea soup with rice is supposed to be popular in Venice in the spring, so this adaptation is a suitable treat for spring or any time of year, without breaking your budget.
servings8 servings
15 ounce can of sweet peas.2 cups of long grain white rice.
1 medium onion, cleaned and chopped.
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
Olive oil.
2 tablespoons of dried sweet basil, or, alternately, for better taste, buy fresh basil, clean, and chop it, to add a very 'green' taste.
4 to 5 cups of water, depending on how thick you like your soup.
1/3 pound smoked ham,shredded or chopped, depending on your preference.
1 teaspoon salt or to taste.
Parmesan cheese, grated.
In the bottom of a stew pot add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Saute chopped onion in hot oil until it begins to soften. Add rice and stir fry in oil for a minute or two. Add basil, garlic, and water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat, add ham, and cook until rice is tender. Add can of sweet peas near end of cooking cycle. Add salt to taste. Finally, start shaking in Parmesan cheese, adding quantity to taste.my notes

Sexial Battle D2
Another hard clicking game with Crimson Girls: Jessica (Zesika), Kenja, Setia and Marnya. To progress the game you have to find the right spot to fill the first counter. Second counter CAN NOT reach value of 365. The easiest way to find hotspots in each scene is to use power ups from second small window (You'll see some lines and numbers). There you can sometimes select some tools and many more. Then just find the hotspot and you'll pass the scene.

J-Girl Ecstasy
To be completely honest this game is really hard. In this episode from J-Girl series you can select one of the characters: Lala, Lenalee, Rinslet or Mikuni. Your task is to click on the right parts of their bodies to fill the bar at the left side. The problem is that you can not fill the right side bar. Then it'll be game over. For example with Lala you can start by clicking on her tail, and make combos with other parts.

100 lb. Club - Accountability/Planning/Menus: April 21-27View Full Version : Accountability/Planning/Menus: April 21-27 GirlyGirlSebas 04-21-2008, 08:32 AM Do you need accountability? Support? A place to post your menu or your workout plan? Or, do you just need to chat? Please join us on this weightloss journey. GirlyGirlSebas 04-21-2008, 08:37 AM Good morning, Friends. Did everyone enjoy their weekend? I enjoyed Ladie's night on Saturday night, but I had a bit too much salt, sugar and "adult" beverage. I ended up in bed with a migraine all day yesterday. What a waste! Today, its back to work and staying on-plan. I'm hoping to drag Hubby out for a walk today. It's been a while, but my new allergy medication seems to be working well so I have no legitimate excuse. I've changed my official weigh-in day to Friday, so I need to get the exercise to make that scale move back down. Hope everyone has a great on-plan day. I'll check back in again later to get "personal." scoobie74 04-21-2008, 08:59 AM Good morning! Saturday, my fiance, son and I spent the day at the zoo. We walked around for 3 hours. Yesterday, I did a 2 mile walk. Today I am planning another 2 mile walk. I hope you all had a great weekend! Beverlyjoy 04-21-2008, 09:25 AM Hi everyone! Sorry I didn't post yesterday...it was a busy day with family in from out of town and a bridal shower to attend. I did very well at the shower and ate very small portions - I feel like I was sucessful in choosing well. I am grateful. However, on Saturday night I did over eat a bit at the cookout. Here's the plans for today. appointments paperwork the usual - stretches, water, ice/heat, log food, meditation breakfast - "fried" brown rice with egg whites and mushrooms, watermelon lunch - hummus and cheese on wrap, brocolli snack - yogurt and bran buds dinner - 12 grain pancake,sf syrup, boca "bacon" snack - cereal, flax, fruit, skim milk I hope you all have a GREAT day. Trazey34 04-21-2008, 11:55 AM Time to get back on the losing track :) I've maintained for about 3 months so it's time to start the DE-CLINE for sure ~ today's plan: breakie: 1/2 c cottage cheese, piece fruit, kashi bar (except my stash at work was gone :( so no kashi !! ) snack: mooch a granola bar from someone LOL lunch: left overs - w.w. pasta & tomato sauce (lots of chunky tomats!), apple, cucumber/onion/red pepper salad dinner: sliced chicken with smidgen teriyaki sauce, some veggie haven't decided yet, and big salad snack: hot cup of tea & ginger cookie sigh.....why isn't taking it OFF as much fun as putting it ON? heheheh mj5 04-21-2008, 02:54 PM Hi everyone! What a day....my supervisor drove an hour each way to a meeting that was cancelled when we arrived....UGH! What a waste of time, gas, etc! Oh well, at least it was a beautiful morning for a drive! Rhonda--Oh no, in bed w/ a migraine is no way to spend a day! Hope you feel better! Good for you for getting right back on plan. Hope you were able to get a nice walk in today. scoobie--Great job! Beverlyjoy--Sounds like you did really well overall! Trazey--I know right...and it is SO much harder to take it off than it is to put it on! This morning the scale was up, but TOM is here so I totally expected it. Most likely I have actually maintained, which is ok. This am I started w/ a 2 mi watp dvd. This afternoon I am going to the gym--arms/shoulders and cardio. Dh has to work tonight, so if I feel like it after the gym, I may try a couple other stores looking for workout capris. I found some online, but they were way too much $, so I'm still looking. I better get going....I'm sure I'll check in later! mj5 04-21-2008, 03:02 PM txmomma--Good luck w/ your trip. Take care of yourself. We will miss you!!!! I hope you get back here soon! darkblue--CONGRATS!! I know, isn't it wonderful how our tastes change....and we actually want the good stuff? It's K2O protein water. I don't have any w/ me right now, so I can't answer about the artificial sweeteners (although I don't thinks so b/c I am pretty sensitive to that icky artificial sweetener taste) or preservatives. I really like it. I have tried SO many kinds of the flavored water-type drinks on the market b/c I drink mostly water and it gets kinda boring after a while. My dh really likes a lot of the different ones, but I hadn't found any that I liked until this one. The fact that it has protein and fiber--makes it even better. It is a little on the expensive side, but like Purple said, the individual mixes make it more less costly. Plus, I will watch for sales. So far my favorite is the lemon twist, which unfortunately only comes pre-mixed, but I am going to try the pink lemonade later. scoobie74 04-21-2008, 03:26 PM Tonight, when I get off of work, my fiance and I are going to go out and get a rebounder. I am excited to finally get one!! jitterfish 04-21-2008, 08:43 PM Todays plan/done: breakfast - porridge and yoghurt snacks - grapes, 2x ww cookies, mandarin lunch - pumpkin soup, wholemeal roll, apple dinner - chili and lime chicken breast, green salad, sweet potatoes exercise - 2km swim and 20min run mj5 04-21-2008, 09:19 PM scoobie--what is a rebounder? jitterfish--Welcome! Ok, so even though I fought w/ myself (in my head, of course) most of the day about going to the gym or not....I won and went! I even did the majority of my planned workout. I say majorit b/c a few of stations I normally use were being used my several guys working out together and I just didn't feel like waiting for them. I did find some workout capris, but they were like $25/pair. Too much if you ask me! I just can't see spending a lot of $ on them when I *hope* to need a smaller size by the end of the summer. Oh well, I'll keep looking. I do have a couple pair, they are just looking a little worn. Hope everyone is having a great night! Schmoodle 04-21-2008, 09:29 PM mj, try sears website in the outlet. I was just browsing there and saw some Reebok workout capris for $4.99. Don't know what shipping would be tho. Darkblue 04-22-2008, 12:56 AM 1280 cal today, as I'm just not hungry. ---------------------------- Scoobie--you are so good at the walking! I really need to do more. What is a rebounder? Is it like a mini-trampoline? Trazey--welcome back! Maintaining for three months is progress as well! GirlyGirl--hope your head feels better. Jitterfish--welcome! That menu sounds suspiciously like a whole-foods plan! Have you seen the Whole Foods section lower down the board? I think it's been a major part of my weight loss so far. mj5--Thanks for the info! Is this vitamin water an easily-available thing, like I could find it at Wal-Mart? Good luck with finding capris! cheetara 04-22-2008, 01:10 AM Hi folks! B: Several oranges. I lost count... They were sooo good! L: Container of hummus, red bell pepper sticks D: FF burritos, milk S: Cucumber-tomato salad, milk I do Intuitive Eating, BTW. math puppy 04-22-2008, 03:05 AM hey guys, im having a rought time over here. my partner is going through alot of medical stuff, and its really throwing me off my plan with all the stress of it! also stressing makes me binge :( sigh. well, i actually got myself to check in today, which i couldnt get myself to do for a few days, so "victory!!!" bad news is i was waaaaaaaaaaay over calorie limit :o its cause at work they had this bbq thing. i thought it ended at 3 so i went in the break room for my on-plan snack, but it wasnt over. before i new it i was loading up on chips and potato salad! what the heck!! i had these crazy mixed feeling going on as i was walking in to the break room too, i was thinking "i hope theres nothing left". but there was, and i ate it! :( on the bright side, i worked out for 20 mins today. would have been longer but my partners meds made her dizzy so i drove her home, and she looked so sad when we got home, i stayed and made her dinner to comfort her. i am working on this plan where i go to bed earlier and wake up early enough to get a work out in the am on the days i start work later. it will start on this thursday. ill let you know how that works out, talk about a challange for me! sorry no time for personals. but i read all of your entries on this post, honest! missed you all, and welcome new people i havent met yet! goodnight and "i think i can i think i can i think i can!"

I made it for a 2 mile walk last night. The weather is suppose to be good again today. mj5 04-22-2008, 10:14 AM Good Morning! I didn't get up in time to do a watp this am...I stayed up way too late last night. Oh well. Plan for today is the gym--legs/back and cardio. I am going to try to ride the bike a few minutes longer today. I am hesitant to mess w/ the intensity (It's already pretty intense) my knee is feeling pretty good lately and I don't want to mess w/ it! Schmoodle--THANK YOU! I'll check there in just a sec! darkblue--Yep, I buy it at walmart. cheerara--Welcome! math puppy--I am so glad you checked in. I am very sorry to hear about your partner's medical issues. I hope things turn out well. Ok so, you went way over today. Like you said...you worked out and that is always a good thing! Let us know how the getting up early to work out goes for you. I NEVER in a million years thought I would get out of bed to workout and honestly some days I don't, but I feel SO good when I do. I KNOW you can! ;) Beverlyjoy--Good for you! scoobie--Oh...thanks! Have a great walk! Rhonda--How are you holding up? Purple--How's the poison ivy? Have a great, on plan day! Oh, I almost forgot....my muscles have that 'nice' day after a good workout sore kind-of feeling. I bumped up some other weights, not a lot, but enough to feel it. I think another reason I have been at such a plateau is that I haven't been challenging myself enough. It's almost time to start shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding this summer, so I better get it in gear!!!! Schmoodle 04-22-2008, 11:09 AM Hi chicks, I feel like today is Monday, since the weekend and Monday just got away from me. Very busy with work mostly, and all the other kid events that are happening around this time of year! On-plan though, I feel like I am back in my groove and really hoping I can stay there. Here's today: B: Spinach and goat cheese omelet, coffee with lots of milk S: Tomato juice, Reduced-fat triscuits with Laughing Cow cheese L: Salad with goat cheese, pistachios, and dried apricots S: orange, caramel latte D: Turkey Picatta over baby spinach S: Greek yogurt with agave nectar and a few slivered almonds Have a great day chicks! Welcome cheerara, and welcome back Trazey! mj5 04-22-2008, 07:57 PM So, as happens all too often lately, I got out of work late. I did go to the gym, but only did 20 mins (although intense minutes!) on the bike. It was better than no exercise, but tomorrow will be back on track! Schmoodle--No, NOT two Mondays!!! jitterfish 04-22-2008, 10:40 PM MJ I loooove the after workout next day soreness when you just feel good! Not over sore but you know you've done some work. Ok well yesterday I stayed on track, ate all I should and nothing I shouldn't, but i didn't get to go for my run because the rain never let up (just as well I got some swimming done). Today..

I am in my calorie range, and I had a kungfu work with lots of kicks and take downs that got the heart pumping. (basically I had lie on the floor and jump back up a whole bunch of times. Ack!) If I don't binge tonight I will have an on plan day! So im not out of the forest yet, but I bet I can do it. Kk have a good night Bev-how did your day go? Mj- weddings are always a good motivator! 20 mins is more then I would have done a year ago. You have the sore muscles going for you ;) Schmoodle- yay for good grooves!

Hope its not throwing you eating plan off track! cheetara 04-23-2008, 04:34 AM Well, I consumed too many tortillas in one day and no veg, but at least I was good about paying attention to my hunger level... :dizzy: B: Grits w/apple, syrup, milk L: PB toast, apple, milk S: Fresh tortillas w/jam D: Tacos Beverlyjoy 04-23-2008, 08:09 AM Hi chickies..I stayed with my plan until bedtime - then over ate.

My son and I went for a 2 mile walk last night and then after he went to be bed I used the rebounder for 5 minutes. I never thought that I would feel it, but I did. GirlyGirlSebas 04-23-2008, 10:02 AM Hi Friends, Just another typical day here for me...lots of work. Hubby and I have walked for two evenings in a row. We've decided that it's just getting to warm here to walk at lunch anymore. So, we plan on scheduling dinner a little earlier so we can get an hour of walking finished before youngest DD's bedtime. They are out of school next month, so it will be a bit easier. I do have some extra motivation. Relay for Life is in just a few weeks and I need to be ready to walk....for long lengths of time! I received my T-shirt for the event. I was overly optimistic and ordered a smaller size than usual. It's a little tight around the "tire" area.:( Wonder if I can lose an inch or so before the walk? The scales haven't been smiling on me this week. I have two more days until my official weigh-in day and it looks like I might be recording a gain for the week. I have no one to blame but myself. I've not been logging my food and calories. Today, I'll do better. Scoobie - The rebounder is excellent exercise for strengthening your bones. I'd love to use one, but it makes my knees hurt. Glad you've found another great way to exercise Math- I'm sorry to hear that your sweetie has not been well. I hope she gets better quickly. Darkblue - the gym might actually help you with your work stress. Hang in there. Hope everyone has a great on-plan day. Schmoodle 04-23-2008, 10:30 AM Happy humpday chicks. No exciting news from my corner of the world. We will have gorgeous weather here today, so I will hang some laundry, work, and squeeze in a walk at lunchtime maybe. I have a meeting at the kids' school at 6PM to look over the "family life" unit they'll be giving to DS's class next week, and DD and I have to put in some serious work to get her project done by Friday. Just the usual stuff here! BTW, I have been on-plan for six days in a row!!!! Hi jitterfish, don't think I've seen you here before. Welcome to the 100 lb. club! Hope the "medical stuff" isn't serious mathpuppy. I wish I could figure out how to share, and also how to bottle some mojo for when I really need it in a few weeks! Because, as we all know, we have our ups, and then we have our downs! Did you make it through the night alright? scoobie, rebounding sounds fun. My mom used to have one of those mini-trampolines, back in the 70's, I think. We kids loved to play on it! mj, you workout diva, your dedication is always inspiring to me! darkblue, :hug: hope all is well. Hi cheetara!

My whole body hurts now. mj5 04-24-2008, 04:51 PM This am I woke up and my knee was really sore, so I chose not to do a watp dvd this am. Unfortunately, I don't have time for any other exercise today, but maybe my knee could use a rest. Of course, the 'cute' but not good for my knee shoes I wore yesterday did not help! So, no sticker for me today. BUT I am not using the no exercise as an excuse to blow it in all other areas!!! Plan for tomorrow is watp in the morning then the gym after work. Beverlyjoy--Good for you! I would love a bike at home, but we don't have any room for it. likenoother--Welcome! Schmoodle--It's gorgeous here today too!

I hope you all have a GREAT on plan day. Remember to treat yourself as well as you'd treat a good friend. :hug: scoobie74 04-25-2008, 09:29 AM Good morning! I went for a 3/4 mile walk last night and 5 minutes on the rebounder. I am hoping to get more in tonight. Don't know if I will make it for a walk, it is cold here today. mj5 04-25-2008, 09:55 AM yea, well....unfortunately I ended up over eating last night. I don't even know why. I was still a little hungry, so ok I had more dinner, but I ended up having way too much dinner. Ugh!!!! Ok, today, new day, fresh start! My knee is a little sore this am, but I was still going to do a watp dvd (or part of one) this am....until I realized that I overslept! I am going to the gym tonight for arms/shoulders and cardio. I have on 'good' shoes so hopefully that will help. Gotta get to a meeting. Have a great day! GirlyGirlSebas 04-25-2008, 10:28 AM Hi Friends. Happy Friday! Today was my official weigh-in day...I changed it from Monday to Fridays. The scales didn't smile on me today. :( In addition to my out-of-control eating, I did some tweaking to my hormone therapy and switched from Splenda to agave nectar. However, no excuses. I can't allow myself to continue down this path of no exercise and eating anything and everything. This weekend, I will write down a week by week plan for getting on track and getting this fat off of this poor tired body. I'll check back in again later today for personals. I have an extra heavy work day today. Fun Friday.:dizzy: Schmoodle 04-25-2008, 10:37 AM Ick, just guzzled my breaky a little fast and now I feel sick. Yesterday I went off-plan a bit - I had fixed dinner for the kids but planned something different for me and DH, but I ran out of time, so I just ate a bit of theirs, which had some white pasta in it, which is not okay for me. Calorie-wise, I'm sure I was still okay, but no smilie for me for the day. Here's today: B: chocolate cheesecake smoothie, tea, 2 scrambled eggs S: V8, raw carrots with hummus L: Salad with turkey on it S: latte and some NSA applesauce D: South Beach frozen pizza with salad, a glass of wine if I want it S: Greek yogurt with agave nectar and slivered almonds cheetara, hope you are feeling better today! mj, guess we both dropped the ball on dinner. It happens... Sometimes we have to just do the best we can. beverly, I just picked up the soycutash at Trader Joe's the other day. It's succotash with edamame in place of the limas. It was pretty good, but I think I prefer the edamame in the pod, so I can shell them out and feel like I'm having a fun snack. likenoother, I'm sure you'll do better today! What's today's plan? Happy walking today Scoobie! mathpuppy, that's a toughie! We need to put our health first, but in this case, I understand why you feel you should be supportive. I've got no words of wisdom, but good luck working it out! Have a great Friday chicks! Woo-hoo, I get my Friday night glass of wine tonight! mj5 04-25-2008, 04:32 PM Ok, change in plans for exercise today. It is absolutely gorgeous outside and it is supposed to rain all weekend. So, I am going to go home and take the dogs for a nice long walk. I have been cooped up inside at work all day and want to take advantage of the nice weather while we still have it.

So far I've had: BF--apple cinnamon oatmeal L--spinach planko chicken with vanilla yogurt S--coconut sorbet So I'm thinking... D--citrus couscous chicken salad S--banana, peach applesauce I hope to get off my behind and exercise at some point today. beverly joy, schmoodle & mj5--I tend to eat what I am in mood for at the moment so my plan is always changing. My hope is that I make good choices even with the changes. Part of the issue also was I have a ton of food here but didn't want any of it. I went to Whole Foods this morning so I have more options. math puppy 04-25-2008, 05:32 PM So I went to the gym with erin yesterday and as I knew, after 30 minutes she couldn't carry on. Poor girl. She is on crazy medications right now and she is trying to stay/get in shape despite everything. She isn't comfortable driving far by herself incase she gets a dizzy spell, so I drove her to the gym and skipped out on kung fu. She had a minor surgery today so im leaving her at home with mom at 3 to sneak out for class. Then later we will probably rent movies and get take out and eat ICECREAM! Actually I better not, but ill serve her some. (her mom bought 3 little pints of icecream over and they are calling my name!) I ate a waaay to big of a lunch. So, accountability friends, I am going to need some real will power to stay in calorie range today. A good work out and a small dinner will be all I need to make this happen….shouldnt be hard…right?..right??? :crossed: Likenoother- welcome!

Schmoodle 04-25-2008, 11:15 PM I know it's sad, but now that I drink so little I can get quite a buzz off just one glass of wine and I really enjoy it. I'm a cheap date these days.

So i'm booting the special K to the door.... Any breakfast related suggestions? Czarria 04-27-2008, 06:30 PM P.S. Because it's my TOM i'm hungry all the time anyway. I'm trying to retrain my body into realizing actual hunger and not pretend hunger. I'm trying to remember the difference between boredom and actual hunger, so my stomach has been growling a lot lately. But I think I'm finally getting it. :D B- Special K 1/2 an apple S- Granola Bar L- Healthy Choice S - Tuna Salad D - ? I finally got the lesson with food journaling and reading all the labels.

The ad ran in Between the Lines, a Michigan LGBT newspaper, during the Motor City Pride festival in June and cost the Detroit-based auto manufacturer just $750.

George Washington Morrison Nutt (April 1, 1848 – May 25, 1881) was a 19th-century American entertainer. Born in Manchester, New Hampshire, Nutt was a midget. It is not known exactly why, how or when Nutt joined the entertainment industry, but he was touring New England with a circus when P. T. Barnum met and hired him in 1861 to appear as an attraction at the American Museum in New York City.
Barnum gave Nutt the stage name, Commodore Nutt, a lavish wardrobe that included miniature naval uniforms, and a tiny carriage in the shape of an English walnut. Commodore Nutt and General Tom Thumb (another of Barnum's little people) became rivals for the hand of miniature Museum attraction, Lavinia Warren. Thumb won Lavinia, and, Commodore Nutt, once he had resigned himself to the loss of Lavinia, stood Thumb's best man at the couple's 1863 wedding in Grace Episcopal Church, New York City. Although Nutt forswore women after his disappointment in love, he eventually married Lilian Elston of Redwood City, California.
Nutt toured the world between 1869 and 1872 with the Thumbs and Lavinia's miniature sister, Minnie Warren. The four returned to America rich beyond their dreams. Nutt had a dispute with Barnum after the tour, and struck out on his own. He managed a variety show on the West Coast, occasionally performed, and operated saloons in Oregon and California without success. He returned to New York City, and died there of Bright's disease in May 1881.
Birth and ancestry[edit]
George Washington Morrison Nutt was born in Manchester, New Hampshire to Major Rodnia Nutt (1810–1875), and his wife Maria (Dodge) Nutt (1807–1859) of Goffstown, New Hampshire.[1] Rodnia Nutt was a gentleman farmer,[2] and a Manchester city marshal and councilman.[3][4]
The Nutts had five children. The first, who apparently died unnamed in infancy, was followed by James Dodge on January 28, 1838, and Rodnia, Jr. on October 11, 1840. A daughter, Mary Ann, was born on September 22, 1844, and George Washington Morrison on April 1, 1848.[1]
Some confusion has existed about George's birth date. A souvenir pamphlet and newspaper accounts published at the time of George's 1862 New York debut indicate April 2, 1844 as his birth date, while 1881 obituary in the New York Times and other newspapers indicate April 1, 1844. A Nutt family Bible indicates April 1, 1848, and this date is now generally accepted.[5]
Nutt and his wife were "large, hearty folk, [Mr. Nutt] weighing upward of two hundred and fifty pounds."[4] Their sons Rodnia, Jr. and George Washington Morrison however were both little people. In 1861, Rodnia, Jr. stood about 49 inches tall; George stood about 29 inches and weighed about 25 pounds.[6]
George's ancestors include King Canute, and William Nutt (1698–1751), a weaver with English ancestry who emigrated from Londonderry, Ulster, Northern Ireland to North America in the early 18th century, and established his line in colonial New England. A part of what is now Manchester was called Nutfield in the early days of settlement while a pond and a road near the pond were named after early Nutt settlers.[1]
Barnum's American Museum[edit]
It is not certain how, why or when George Nutt began his career in the American entertainment industry. He may have been exhibited as early as 1854 by William C. Walker, the manager of a small circus based in Manchester. Walker claimed not only to have discovered George, but to have been the first to exhibit him and his brother Rodnia.[7]
Nutt had been touring the New England countryside with a manager named Lillie when he met P. T. Barnum in his offices at the American Museum in 1861. To Barnum's disgust, Lillie had paid scant attention to Nutt's education, and was charging as little as a nickel to see the boy. Lillie knew nothing about presenting the boy "in the proper style", as Barnum put it.[8][9]
Barnum recognized Nutt's potential as a museum attraction at once. In his autobiography, he described Nutt as "a most remarkable dwarf, who was a sharp, intelligent little fellow, with a deal of drollery and wit. He had a splendid head, was perfectly formed, and was very attractive, and, in short, for a "showman" was a perfect treasure."[10]
Barnum became very anxious to acquire the "extraordinary pygmy" (as he termed Nutt) for the Museum, and quietly hired a lawyer to lure Nutt away from his manager. "Nail him!" Barnum ordered the lawyer in a letter later leaked to the press.
The lawyer offered Nutt's parents a large sum of money to secure their son for a three to five year engagement, promising them the boy would be educated and trained to be "a genteel, accomplished attractive little man". Barnum wanted his name kept out of the negotiations with the Nutts until they had accepted the lawyer's terms. He had learned from experience that if his name was known, prices would skyrocket.[11]
Negotiations dragged on through the summer and autumn of 1861. An agreement was finally reached, and a contract signed on December 12, 1861. Barnum hired not only Nutt, but his 49 inch, 21 year old brother, Rodnia, Jr. The contract required Barnum to provide both young men with room and board, clothing, and travel and medical expenses.
The showman was also required to supervise the moral and academic education of the brothers. Salaries would begin at $12 per week with annual increases. In the fifth and final year of the contract, the Nutt brothers would each receive $30 per week. They would also receive a yearly percentage from the sales of their souvenir photographs and pamphlets.[12]
Publicity campaign[edit]
Once the contract was signed, Barnum set in motion a publicity campaign to prepare the public for Nutt's debut. Although he had already signed Nutt, he let it be rumored about that he was trying to secure Nutt for the American Museum.[13]
Other showmen were provoked by this lie to offer incredible sums to Nutt's parents for the chance to sign their son. Barnum leaked a letter to the press in which he hinted that he was forced to outbid the competition, and finally paid $30,000 to engage the midget. The boy became known informally among showmen and journalists as "The $30,000 Nutt".[13]
Barnum gave the midget the stage name, Commodore Nutt, and provided him with a lavish and neatly-tailored wardrobe that included miniature naval uniforms. For the Commodore's jaunts about town, the showman had a little carriage built for him that resembled an English walnut. The top of the vehicle was hinged in such a way that, when lifted, the little Commodore would be revealed sitting inside.[13]
Nutt's carriage was drawn by Shetland ponies and driven about New York by his brother Rodnia dressed as a liveried coachman. Barnum thought these little trips about New York City the very best form of advertisement.[14] Nutt's carriage is now in the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, Connecticut.[13][15]
Dwarfs and midgets have always been popular entertainers, but were often regarded with disgust and revulsion. In the early 19th century however, little people were romanticized by the middle class and regarded with the same affectionate condescension extended to children. Little people, like children, were regarded in the 19th century as creatures of innocence.[16]
Barnum was nothing if not a keen businessman. He wooed the middle class and turned their sentiments about children to his advantage. He held baby contests attended by hundreds, and promised parents that their children would find nothing in the American Museum "calculated to corrupt the mind or taint the juvenile imagination." Thus assured, the middle class filled his strong boxes with their dollars.[16]
Commodore Nutt made his debut at Barnum's American Museum in February 1862, and, in the process, became an overnight sensation.[13] Some museum-goers believed they were being "humbugged" by Barnum, and that Nutt was actually General Tom Thumb in disguise.[17]
Although Nutt somewhat resembled the Tom Thumb of the past, Thumb had aged and put on weight over the years—a fact museum-goers blithely refused to take into account.[18] Nutt was a mischievous scamp; he took delight in the confusion, and encouraged the public in their error.[17]
To silence the doubters, Barnum asked Thumb (who was touring the American South and the West at the time of Nutt's debut) to cut his tour short and come to New York City for a four-week engagement with Nutt. He wanted the two little men to appear on the same platform at the American Museum. Thumb returned to New York, and took the stage with Nutt.[17]
They were billed as "The Two Dromios" and "The Two Smallest Men, and Greatest Curiosities Living." The exhibit opened on August 11, 1862.[18] Despite what they witnessed, some museum-goers still insisted that Nutt was Tom Thumb in disguise. Barnum wrote, "It is very amusing to see how people will sometimes deceive themselves by being too incredulous."[17][19]
New York City Police Commissioners[edit]
On 18 April 1862, Nutt met with New York City Police Commissioners in an effort to get an officer assigned to the American Museum. Nutt himself applied to become a New York police officer, was given favorable consideration, and ordered a uniform himself.
In a telegram to the Ninth Precinct (he stood on the arm of a chair to reach the telegraph instrument), Nutt sent his compliments to the precinct officers and wrote that he was to receive an appointment on the Broadway Squad with "extraordinary powers to arrest" and "take upstairs" passersby outside the Museum.
During his tour of the police facilities, someone said that the Commodore had been seen to kiss a girl on the mouth during his stage act. "Well, that was the right place, wasn't it?" he quipped. Nutt offered more witticisms to the roars of the officers, denied that he had a romantic interest in the Museum's Albino, and made it understood that he knew how to "handle" the giant.[20]
President Lincoln[edit]
During the darkest days of the American Civil War in November 1862, President Abraham Lincoln invited Barnum and Nutt to the White House. Entering the Washington, D.C. dwelling, the showman was told the President was in a special cabinet meeting, but had left word to have Barnum and his little companion announced when they arrived. Barnum realized his visit may have been something of an imposition upon the busy President, and made a mental note to keep his visit brief.[21]
The visitors were announced, and Lincoln interrupted his cabinet session to greet Barnum and Nutt. Pleasantries were passed about, and Nutt asked Secretary Chase of the Treasury if he was the man who was spending so much of Uncle Sam's money. Stanton, Secretary of War, interrupted to declare that he was the man. "Well," said Nutt to everyone's amusement, "It is in a good cause, anyhow, and I guess it will come out all right."[22]
As Barnum and Nutt prepared to leave, President Lincoln bowed at the waist and took Nutt's hand in his own. He suggested to the Commodore that he "wade ashore" should his "fleet" ever be in danger. Nutt looked up and down Lincoln's long legs and joked, "I guess, Mr. President, you could do that better than I could."[13][22]
Lilliputian love triangle[edit]
In 1862, Barnum hired the midget Lavinia Warren of Marlboro, Massachusetts, to exhibit herself at the American Museum. She was several years older than Nutt, but he fell in love with her at once. She fanned the flames of his passion by giving him a diamond and emerald friendship ring, once the gift of Barnum to the miniature lady.[18]
When Thumb visited the Museum in the autumn of 1862, he met Warren and fell in love. He told Barnum it was "love at first sight."[18] In order to win her away from Nutt, Thumb quietly promised Barnum he would marry her in a public ceremony.[14] Realizing at once the fortune to be made with such a spectacle, Barnum called Warren aside and urged Thumb's suit, emphasizing his gentle breeding and his large fortune.[23]
Nutt was aware that Thumb was his rival for Lavinia's love. He beat up Thumb in a dressing room at the Museum.[6] When Lavinia planned a weekend visit to Barnum's Bridgeport home, Nutt casually but firmly invited himself along. Little did he know that Thumb would be there as well.[18]
Nutt left New York City on a late Saturday train, arriving at Barnum's home at 11 pm. He found Thumb and Warren alone in the downstairs parlor. Unbeknownst to Nutt, Thumb had proposed and Warren had accepted. Barnum and Warren gently broke the news to Nutt a week later.[18]
Barnum thought Lavinia's younger sister Minnie (also a midget and much smaller than Lavinia) a better match for Nutt and urged him to consider her as a wife. Nutt told Barnum he had little faith in women, and that he would not marry "the best woman living".[18]
Barnum wanted Minnie and Nutt to attend Lavinia and Thumb as bridesmaid and best man, but Nutt refused. Later, Thumb asked Nutt to be his best man. Nutt accepted, telling Barnum, "It was not your business to ask me. When the proper person invited me, I consented."[18]
Nutt and Minnie did indeed serve as best man and bridesmaid at the "Fairy Wedding" of General Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren in Grace Episcopal Church, New York City on Tuesday 10 February 1863. Traffic had been brought to a halt and crowds had gathered to catch a glimpse of the celebrated couple. Scheduled for high noon, the ceremony did not start until the bride arrived at 12:30 pm.[24]
The wedding was by invitation only, and attended by 2,000 guests, most being the A-list celebrities of the day that included Mrs. John Jacob Aster, Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt, and General Ambrose Burnside.[18][25] Members of the church complained about the "marriage of mountebanks", and were angered because they were refused seating in their own pews. Much of the public curiosity about the marriage of Thumb and Warren was based on prurient interest in the sexual mechanics of the couple, which Barnum did nothing to either encourage or discourage.[25]
The reception was held in the Metropolitan Hotel at 3 pm, with gifts on display in the bride's room. Barnum gave the newlyweds a tortoiseshell basket concealing a mechanical bird that sang when a spring was touched. The gift was said to cost $1,000.[26] While President and Mrs. Lincoln could not attend, they sent the couple a set of Chinese fire screens embellished with gold, silver, and pearl. Nutt gave Lavinia a diamond ring.[24]
At a much later date, Barnum asked Nutt why he had not married. Nutt told him that his "fruit was plucked", and he had no intention of marrying until he was 30. He said he did not care about his bride's height, but preferred a "good, green country girl to anyone else."[18]
World tour[edit]
The wedding attracted widespread attention. Barnum seized the moment, and sent the wedding party on a profitable tour of America and Europe. Following the tour, the four little people were again sent off, this time on a grand tour of the world as The Tom Thumb Company.
The quartet left the United States on 21 June 1869,[27] travelled 60,000 miles around the world, visited 587 cities and towns, and gave 1,471 performances of songs, orations, and military drills. They returned to America in 1872, rich beyond their dreams.[6][28][23]
On his own[edit]
Nutt had a dispute with Barnum after the tour and struck out on his own. He joined Harry Deakin's Lilliputian Comic Opera Company, and shared the stage with Colonel Routh Goshen (the Middlebush Giant), and Miss Jennie Quigley, "the smallest lady in the world". The Company toured extensively in a production of the operetta, Jack, the Giant Killer.[29][30]
Nutt and his brother Rodnia organized their own variety show. The show played in Portland, Oregon, but was not a success. Nutt went to San Francisco, organized another show, but tired of the life within a year and quit. Another theatrical venture was equally unsuccessful.[30] Nutt operated saloons in Oregon and San Francisco with little success.[23]
It was reported at least four times in the press during the 1860s that Nutt and Minnie Warren were husband and wife. Warren never married Nutt, but became the wife of another little person in 1877 named Major Edward Newell (aka General Grant, Jr.), a song and dance man who performed on roller skates.[18][31] Warren died of childbirth complications in 1878.[31]
In 1879, Nutt married Miss Lilian Elston of Redwood City, California whom he had met while touring the American West. She was slightly smaller than the average woman, and, at her husband's 1881 funeral, sobbed over Nutt's coffin and called him her "dear little boy" who was "so good". The couple had no children.[14]
Return to New York City[edit]
Nutt returned to New York City and bought a saloon. The New York City courts put an end to this saloon-keeping venture when Nutt was caught operating without a liquor license.[23] The former star of the American Museum became Deputy-Superintendent of Rockaway Pier, a beach front amusement-centered board walk, and later returned to the life of a showman with an act called "Tally-Ho".[30]
Early in 1881, Nutt suffered a severe attack of Bright's disease. He endured the pain for more than two months before dying on 25 May 1881 at the Anthony House in New York City.[14] Nutt's resting place is not known with certainty, but he is believed to be buried in an unmarked grave near his parents in Merrill Cemetery at Manchester, New Hampshire. City and historical society records report that Nutt was buried between his father, Rodnia, and his mother, Maria, but that no stone ever marked his grave.[32][33]
Several years before Nutt's death, a description of his funeral was published in newspapers around the world. Mourners were said to include the seven foot giant Chang, an American known as "The Skeleton", a woman with three arms, and four trained dogs. Police were said to be concerned about the crowd gathered outside the cemetery and ordered cabbies to carry mourners singly and quietly to their homes.[34] Nutt had grown from his original 29 inches to 43 inches, and weighed a little less than 70 pounds at his death.[14]
