My journey with 5:2- Day 1
Thursday, March 21, 2013
Hello! I'm not a "diet band wagon" person, I try to live a healthy lifestyle full of exercise and healthy choices. As you can see from my previous blogs. LOL!
But I read an article about this 5:2 diet. The concept seems easy enough. It doesn't require special tools or gadgets or an eating plan...From what I gather, you eat 'regular' for 5 days, then on 2 non-consecutive days you are limited to 500 calories (for women), or 600 (for men).
I will tell you how this works out, I'll journal each day what I'm eating and when I'm eating it. Lets see what the outcome will be. I'm not focusing on the scale here, I'll let you know how this change in eating TOTALLY affects me. I don't know if I'll blog everyday or just on days after I've fasted...Well see.
So here we go.! Yesterday was Day 1.
For breakfast I had:
1c kashi go lean crunch cereal, 1/2c skim milk
Later in the morning around 10 I had 1c fresh strawberries
For what would have been lunch, I nibbled on baby carrots 3oz.
Now this was going really well, I was sipping green tea and water all day.
By 2:30 OMG the hunger pains HIT me so hard........so I broke out the sugar-free gum. OMG you never knew how good the juice from the gum taste, until you eat it when your starving LOL!!!
I knew what my dinner meal would be, and I could not wait to get home.
So around 5pm I had, a salad with: lettuce, 1c tomatoes, 1c cucumbers, peppercini's, 3oz grilled chicken breast, and 2 tbsp of Aldi Fat Free ranch.....
DELCICIOUS!!! Now this isn't too far from what I'd normally eat for dinner except I'd add cheese and prob olive oil.
I was full and content...Then around 7...Not sure if I was hungry or just needed a snack, but I opted for 3pc of sugar free werthers hard candy and a cup of tea.
Day 1 a success! I didnt work out the following A.M becasue I wasnt sure how my energy level would be, so I'll be working out tonite....Turbo FIRE here I come.
Stay tuned....

MSNBC is apologizing for a Cinco de Mayo segment that featured a staff member onscreen wearing a sombrero, shaking maracas, and taking a swig from a bottle of tequila.
The network said Tuesday the interlude on its Way Too Early show Monday featuring correspondent Louis Burgdorf and host Thomas Roberts wasn't intended to be disrespectful. The show apologized online and will express its regret Wednesday on the air.
Hugo Balta, president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, says it was abominable that the segment was done by a news organization. He says it feeds "the ignorant misconceptions of a rich and proud people who unfortunately are too often portrayed as caricatures to be scoffed at."
The holiday marks an 1862 battle victory by Mexican troops. It is celebrated in the U.S. with parades and revelry.

Yuri Lowenthal: Nerdage's #7 actor
Versatile live-action and voice actor Yuri Lowenthal comes in at No. 7 on Nerdage's list of actors with geek appeal. It's not just one role that lands Lowenthal this high on the geek appeal list: It's a boatload of them.
Lowenthal voiced Ben Tennyson aka Ben 10 in "Ben 10: Alien Force" and "Ben 10: Ultimate Alien." He's also been the voice of Superman in "Legion of Super-Heroes." Adding to his superhero resume, he portrays Iceman in the current "Wolverine and the X-Men" animated series and voiced Mister Miracle on "Batman: The Brave and the Bold."
Lowenthal has provided many voices in anime; notably in "Naruto" he voiced ninja-in-training Sasuke Uchiha.
In live-action television in 2009, he appeared in a two-part series of episodes in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles."
With wife Tara Platt, he's written a book on voice-over called "Voice-Over Voice Actor: What It's Like Behind the Mic."
So it's clear Lowenthal stays busy; he also does video-game voice acting, for games including "Watchmen: The End is Nigh" and "Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones." Lowenthal talked about voice-over acting in a 2009 interview with NewsOK:
"It's all voice acting whether you're doing an animated series or a video game, or any of those kind of jobs," Lowenthal said. "They all have their different techniques. For video games, you're in a booth, by yourself. Only on one or two occasions ever have I gotten to record with other actors at the same time for a video game. I guess it's just more efficient for them to do one character at a time."
Coming up for Lowenthal are the films "The Arcadian" and "A Guy, A Girl, A Space Helmet."

Update on NatalyNataly is an enterprising youth of 27 years, who has wanted to have her own business ever since she was a child. Although she has faced adverse circumstances in her life, she has always found a way to make a living and support her family. She has a 1 year-old baby who is her main motivation in life, and is the main reason why she decided to start up a juice business outside of a school. Her goal is to improve her financial situation and be able to provide her child with better living conditions. She has returned to request a loan so that she can finance this project, and so that she can buy the supplies she needs to make the products. She needs a loan because she lacks her own capital.
Previous Loan DetailsNataly is very dedicated to her family, and this is what has made her move forward through hard work. At 26 years old, Nataly finds herself married, and she is the mother of a one-year-old daughter. Her husband works as an employee in a business, but his pay is very low; this is why Nataly decide...

Additional Information
Important InformationThis loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: rogerd
We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB3 RC1
package. This is the first release candidate which is meant to become
the Gold release if no more bugs or problems arise. Of course there
may be more than one release candidate.
Official Announcement:
My first impressions: the basic phpBB3 package has nearly 1000 files, it's a huge project! It is loaded with features, many of the most important mods are now an integral part of the main script: specific robots handling so Google etc. don't get session IDs, moderator and admin action logs, extra bbcode for Flash, Jabber, etc. The number of options for forum permissions is huge, there are no categories as such, and a forum can be a category with sub-forums. The new prosilver default theme is clean, modern, but due to the complexity of the package the overall look is rather crowded and confusing for the uninitiated.
I'm certainly not planning on moving to phpBB3 just yet, I'm not tempted to be an early adopter and I'd be happier after a few months of shakedown by others to spot any major bugs and security issues. But I will be upgrading eventually, despite the amount of work that will be required to simplify the interface down to something more user-friendly.
Overall, it's a very impressive package - on a par if not better than vBulletin, extremely powerful, and supremely adaptable.
Does anyone else have any experience or has anyone used phpbBB3 in a live setting yet?

Is the volume calculation broken now or was it broken before?]]> uncookedtrout 2010-10-17T16:28:05-00:00 Re: Question about volume calc http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=19288&th=3716#msg_19288 <![CDATA[Hi,

 Are the models that have different volume "hollowed out"?

 Please check this blogpost which explains what the effects are of the improved volume calculation which we introduced this summer.

 Possibly this volume calculation and the way it handles hollow areas is causing the unexpected change in volume?

 If you think it is not caused by this effect, please let me know what model(s) you think show a problem, then we can take a look in detail.

 Kind regards, Arno]]> arno 2010-10-18T08:56:23-00:00

That may look paradoxical, I know that secret changesets are meant to be private, but what if I want to backup those secret changesets?
I work with some branches in parallel and sometimes I want to push one, but not the others. To achieve that, I work in separate clones but I hate that.
So now mercurial has phases, I can make secret branches and have everything in the same repository. The problem is that between the beginning of the secret branch and its publication, I want to backup those secret changesets (I have a clone in another machine just to hold my backups in case something happens with my local repo or my machine).
Is there a way of doing that or my workflow is completly wrong?

Thanks, Coach
I made some gift card holders for the two coaches of my daughter's softball team using Papertrey's All-Star Team and All-Star Team Additions - love these sets, by the way! The papers are from My Mind's Eye Breaking Free collection.
The style is a tri-fold, with the finished size just slightly larger than a standard gift card. The top flap folds down and tucks behind the corduroy button/punched circle accent to keep the holder closed. When you open the top flap, you see both the "Just Play, Have Fun, Enjoy the Game" sentiment from All-Star Team Additions as well as a "World's Best Coach" sentiment that I made by putting together "World's Best" from Verve's World's Best set and spelling out the word "Coach" using my JustRite Stamper and the Brayton font. (Do you see where I punched the slit in the wrong place? Grrrr.)
And last, when the card is fully opened, you see a middle panel, which I decorated to include the names of the five girls who gave the gift card. I cut five triangles for pennants and wrote one of the girl's names on each, then hand-drew the string. I also hand-wrote the "To," "From" and amount info.
Maybe I went a little overboard on the whole "privacy" thing, smudging out all that info, but my sister just about scared me to death the other day with some things she had learned at a recent internet safety training class that she took as part of her job as a high school administrator. You can never be too careful!
Hate to say goodbye on that note - sorry! Thanks for stopping by today!
Stamps: All-Star Team and All-Star Team Additions (Papertrey Ink); World's Best (Verve Stamps); Brayton font (JustRite Stampers)
Paper: SU Pumpkin Pie and Basic Gray card stock; My Mind's Eye Breaking Free dp
Ink: SU Pumpkin Pie and Basic Gray; Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: SU corduroy buttons, small star punch, slit punch; Creative Memories 1" punch; May Arts burlap string; edge distressing tool

Round Pond Estate, a family-owned and family-run working estate of vineyards, gardens and orchards, is known as a premier artisan producer of extra virgin olive oil, premium red wine vinegar, citrus syrup and other fine foods. We invite you to explore and delight in the delicious world of Round Pond Estate.
Olive Oil
Each gourmet olive oil is crafted from a meticulous selection of hand-harvested olives using our signature pressing methods, which combine traditional stone mill techniques with state-of-the-art technology. Master blending in small lots, and bottling only on demand ensures that each gourmet olive oil is delivered to our customers at the height of vibrant freshness.
Red Wine Vinegar
In 2000, inspired by the bounty of our vineyards, we began crafting gourmet red wine vinegars using our own estate-grown grapes. Our goal was simple- to create a worthy culinary partner for our rich and robust line of olive oils. Crafted using the revered Orleans method, each red wine vinegar continues the tradition of this time-honored technique, which originated almost two hundred years ago.
Inspired by the fresh bounty from our Rutherford estate garden, these Vinaigrettes capture the essence of just picked herbs, citrus and flowers in two wonderfully different bottlings. They are fantastic as dressings, dips, marinades or drizzled over your grilled meats.
Artisan Syrup
While crafting our acclaimed Meyer Lemon and Blood Orange Olive Oils, using the skins of organically grown citrus fruits, we found ourselves with an abundance of vibrant, fresh-squeezed juice. Our delicious solution – the pure essence of a citrus syrup. A sweet and whimsical match for an array of food and beverages, we invite you to discover this delightful treat.

For the last couple months the Internet has been chalk full of rumors that Apple is losing its edge, and that the iPhone isn't as cool as it once was. Maybe some of those rumors are right, maybe not, but Apple's ex-Ad Guru, Ken Segall, predicts that the iPhone's biggest years are still ahead of it.
In a recent blog post, Segall speculates that the iPhone will follow a similar development cycle as the iPod. For the first few years Apple has worked on evolving and perfecting the device, but 2013 will be the year that Segall thinks we'll finally get an iPhone Mini, iPhones in color, and maybe even a big iPhone.

So I realize it's been a couple of months since I posted anything here. I have no excuse for this, I'm just a lazy bastard and I just plain haven't felt like socializing. To make up for this, I'm now going to spam you all with random art which I have been posting on my tumblr.
When it comes to the Ted comic... Honestly? I haven't been enjoying making comics, nor playing with these characters, as much as I did in the past. At this point I've basically officially quit PMDE and have no plans to continue with my teams. I might post the occasional doodle of them sometimes but that's about it.
Ah well. At least it was fun while it lasted!

Wait, am I supposed to do journals? Shit, I didn't know that!
Anyways I've always felt that the best thing to do is whatever you feel like so you're good
Well I should occasionally make sure my non-tumblr watchers know I'm alive!
And yeah. Ah well. My PMD stuff had a good run.

SFYTT and OCC
First up is my weekly sample for Jen's Sketch for You to Try (SFYTT) challenge:
This week's sketch was a bit of a toughie for me, and consequently, I believe I bent the sketch to suit (but just a wee bit). So for sure you'll want to go to i{heart}2stamp to see the sketch and two proper samples from Jen and guest designer Dawn Easton. And you won't want to miss Carole's, Shannan's, and Susan's samples either. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword SFYTT. We'd love for you to play along!
I thought the sketch would be perfect for my new Lily - My Little Friend image by Rachelle Anne Miller for Stampavie, which I acquired thanks to some serious enabling by Shannan, Julee, Jessie, and Jen (thanks girls!). Seriously, the Stampavie images are just SO cute!!! All of my coloring is done with an aqua painter and reinkers. I added some sparkle to some areas with a Sakura Stardust pen.
Second, today is the official start of the new Our Creative Corner challenge blog. Yay!!! The amazing Cindy Haffner is hosting this month, and she's kicking things off with a sketch challenge. Be sure to head over there this morning to see the sketch and samples from all the OCC designers. You're gonna LOVE what you see! We all hope you'll play along with us (all the how-to is on the OCC blog)!! This is my take:
For this one, I used Wendy Papillon by Stamping Bella and colored her with a mixture of Copics and reinkers. The sparkly wings are done with Frosted Lace Stickles. For both cards, I used sentiments from Verve's Thoughtful Florals set. When your card is "full" already, these sentiments are the perfect size to tuck behind your image kind of like file folder tabs. I LOVE them!!
Stampavie SFYTT:
Stamps: Lily - My Little Friend (Stampavie); Thoughtful Florals (Verve Visual)
Paper: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black (SU!); watercolor paper; dp (Pink Paislee); pink textured card stock (source unknown)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko); Close to Cocoa, Pink Passion, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Barely Banana, Going Gray, Blush Blossom reinkers (SU!)
Accessories: paper flowers (Prima); pink rik-rak (Fancy Pants); Stardust Stickles (Ranger); Stardust glitter pen (Sakura); aqua painter, paper piercer, and Green Galore buttons (SU!); sewing machine
Bella OCC:
Stamps: Wendy Papillon (Stamping Bella); Thoughtful Florals (Verve Visual)
Paper: Real Red (SU!); Stamper's Select White (Papertrey); dp (Bohemia/My Mind's Eye)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko); Soft Sky reinker
Accessories: Copic markers; paper flowers (Prima); Frosted Lace Stickles (Ranger); red brad (Close to My Heart); aqua painter, paper piercer, wide red grosgrain ribbon, corner rounder, key tag punch, dimensionals (SU!)

Tuna are running south to the ocean off Maryland, not quite as far offshore as the canyons. Yellow fin and Bluefin tuna bit well there, and were mostly chunked.
Also fishing inshore for catches including summer flounder. Reef 11 and the Old Grounds on the ocean. In the Back Bay, flounder seemed heading for deeper waters in the ocean and Delaware Bay. A couple of reports rolled in about good summer flounder fishing from Cape May Reef. Trolling for blues off Cape May Point and at the ocean shoals under and sea bass is still very good.
Minnows, bloodworms and all the frozen baits are stocked. Offshore baits include flats of butterfish and sardines and some ballyhoos.
Strong easterly winds, creating fast drifts, made holding bottom difficult in deep waters.

mTOR signalling is implicated in the development of disease and in lifespan extension in model organisms. This pathway has been associated with human diseases such as diabetes and cancer, but has not been investigated for its impact on longevity per se. Here, we investigated whether transcriptional variation within the mTOR pathway is associated with human longevity using whole-blood samples from the Leiden Longevity Study. This is a unique cohort of Dutch families with extended survival across generations, decreased morbidity and beneficial metabolic profiles in middle-age. By comparing mRNA levels of nonagenarians and middle-aged controls, the mTOR signalling gene set was found to associate with old age (P = 4.6 × 10−7). Single gene analysis showed that seven of 40 mTOR pathway genes had a significant differential expression of at least 5%. Of these, the RPTOR (Raptor) gene was found to be differentially expressed also when the offspring of nonagenarians was compared with their spouses, indicating association with familial longevity in middle-age. This association was not explained by variation between the groups in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and cancer or glucose levels. Thus, the mTOR pathway not only plays a role in the regulation of disease and aging in animal models, but also in human health and longevity.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who oversaw a moratorium on offshore drilling after the BP oil spill and promoted alternative energy sources throughout the nation, will step down in March.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who oversaw a moratorium on offshore drilling after the BP oil spill and promoted alternative energy sources throughout the nation, will step down in March.
A former U.S. senator from Colorado, Salazar ran the Interior Department throughout President Barack Obama's first term and pushed renewable power such as solar and wind and the settlement of a longstanding dispute with American Indians.
With Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson also leaving the administration and Energy Secretary Steven Chu expected to depart, Obama will have a clean slate of top officials overseeing energy and environment issues.
In a statement Wednesday, Obama said Salazar had helped "usher in a new era of conservation for our nation's land, water and wildlife" and had played a major role in efforts to expand responsible development of the nation's domestic energy resources.

Salazar said in a statement that the Interior Department was helping secure "a new energy frontier" and cited an aggressive agenda to reform oil and gas leases, which he said had increased offshore drilling safety.
Under his watch, the Interior Department has authorized nearly three dozen solar, wind and geothermal energy projects on public lands that provide enough electricity to power more than 3 million homes, Salazar said.
Obama has vowed to focus on efforts to bolster renewable energy in a second term while continuing to expand production of oil and natural gas. He also has made it clear he will focus on climate change, an issue he has acknowledged was sometimes overlooked during his first term.
Former Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire, a longtime Obama ally, is among those mentioned as a potential successor to Salazar, along with John Berry, director of the White House Office of Personnel Management. Berry is a former assistant interior secretary and the director of the National Zoo. Gregoire, whose term expired Wednesday, also is considered a candidate to head the Energy Department or the EPA.
Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., a senior member of the House Natural Resources Committee and a favorite of the environmental community, also is believed to be under consideration for Salazar's position.
Salazar, 57, entered the Senate with Obama in 2005. At Interior, he gained the most attention for his role in the drilling moratorium, a key part of the administration's response to the April 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico that killed 11 workers. The resulting oil spill was one of the largest environmental disasters in U.S. history and led to the unprecedented shutdown of offshore drilling.
Business groups and Gulf Coast political leaders said the shutdown crippled the oil and gas industry and cost thousands of jobs, even aboard rigs not operated by BP PLC. But Salazar said the industry-wide moratorium was the correct call and that his ultimate goal was to allow deep-water operations to resume safely.
"Today, drilling activity in the Gulf is surpassing levels seen before the spill, and our nation is on a promising path to energy independence," Salazar said in his statement Wednesday.
The moratorium was lifted in October 2010, although offshore drilling operations did not begin for several more months. Some Gulf Coast lawmakers continue to complain about the slow pace of drilling permits under the Interior Department, which renamed and revamped the agency that oversees offshore drilling in the wake of the spill.
Salazar also approved the nation's first offshore wind farm, Cape Wind, off the Massachusetts coast.
On land, Salazar has promoted solar power in the West and Southwest, approving an unprecedented number of projects, even as oil and gas projects continued to be approved on federal land.
Salazar also oversaw a $3.4 billion settlement resolving a dispute with Native American tribes that had lingered for more than a decade.
Salazar was the fourth Interior secretary to consider a 1996 lawsuit by Elouise Cobell accusing the government of mismanaging land trust royalties for more than a century. But Salazar was the one who finally settled the case, said Jacqueline Pata, executive director of the National Congress of American Indians.
Salazar and Obama "made it very clear that one of the presidential campaign promises they were going to resolve was the Cobell lawsuit, and Salazar made it happen," Pata said.
Throughout his tenure, Salazar tangled with oil companies. He criticized the George W. Bush administration for what he called a "headlong rush" to lease public lands, saying officials treated oil and gas executives as if they were "the kings of the world." Soon after taking office, Salazar suspended 60 of 77 leases in Utah that had been approved under Bush, setting a confrontational tone that would continue the next four years.
Jim Noe, an oil executive and head of a shallow-water drilling coalition, said Wednesday that Salazar's actions "hurt the industry, thousands of workers and the small businesses and communities that depend upon them. We hope that future leadership at the Interior Department will be able to take a more balanced approach to natural resource development."
Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, said Salazar worked to strike a balance between responsible energy development and vital environmental protection.
Salazar set a sound foundation for solar and wind power on federal lands, while protecting areas where development does not make sense, Beinecke said.
Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune hailed Salazar for opening seven new national parks and 10 wildlife refuges while protecting Arctic areas from offshore drilling.
Salazar's leadership "has helped put our nation on a path where protecting our natural legacy and wild lands is a priority, not an afterthought," Brune said.
Salazar is the second of Obama's two Hispanic Cabinet members to depart. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said last week she is leaving.

text: I saw something along the lines of this somewhere, and wanted to see the reaction to it. Socialism is like Basketball. People from all walks of life can pick up the game and play it. All of the players are on the same team. There are a few superstars (the rich), there are mediocre players, and there are the bad players (the poor). However in Basketball, it benefits the superstars to help out the bad players because if they try to take all the spotlight and do everything by themselves, the team usually ends up losing. Even everyone works together, the good players helping the bad, the team as a whole is stronger and the team wins. The superstars still will have most of the spotlight, but the rest of the team wins! Capitalism is like Golf. Everyone is playing for themselves. If you grew up a privileged life playing golf since you were 5 years old, able to afford the best equipment and the best golf trainers, you will likely be much better at the game than somebody who has just picked up the sport and has a cheap set of clubs. And really, if the two are playing a game together, this is great news for the first guy. He will likely beat the beginner every time, unless the beginner randomly gets extremely lucky. If the beginner starts to do poorly during the game, nobody is there to help him. He just gets beaten. Sure, the opportunity is there for the beginner player to better his game, but there's little chance of him ever playing anywhere near the level of the other guy.

Melissa: You know what's going to happen.
Andrew: Right, Ben? You'll go somewhere?
Ben: Yeah we'll do it.
Melissa: I'd do it.
John: You're not going to get your mommies and daddies to allow you to do that.
Ben: No, no, we're going to do this.
Andrew: We're going anyway.
Ben: Vegas, Vegas Potter fans.
Melissa: Okay, anyway, so let's get back to what people can expect at this podcast.
Andrew: Okay. What else is there?
Melissa: Well, we could talk about the news, and the premiere and the movie.
Andrew: Right, we're going to...because a few, by that time, most of us will have seen the movie.
Ben: Mmm.
John: Pretty much everybody that matters.
Andrew: Yeah, exactly. Everyone that matters will have seen the movie. That is me, Melissa...
Melissa: I'm not going to see the movie.
Andrew: John, Sue. Well...
Ben: I guess you don't matter. You're on a little pedestal like me, you don't matter.
Ben: You know since...what I was told is that Andrew will be on a podium in front of everyone. He'll be the only one.
Andrew: Okay.
Melissa: No. That's not going to happen.
[John laughs]
Ben: Okay. That's what he thought.
Andrew: Stop spreading rumors. No Ben, that's not what I thought, okay. Shut up!
Melissa: So anyway, we're going to talk to our special guests. We're going to call my mom. We're going to call her at the After-Party because she's just going to be the cutest thing ever. She's going to be so excited that she's met Harry Potter. So, we're going to call her and we're going to have Jamie take her phone to as many people as possible.
Ben: I'm going to get Emma Watson's phone number.
Melissa: I really doubt that.
Ben: I am. You be quiet.
Andrew: And then, I think the after-part of the show will be guests or we could...
Melissa: Wait, wait, are we doing questions? Are we doing questions, are people going to ask us questions at the thing? Or voicemails?
Andrew: Well no, I definitely want...yes, I definitely want people to be able to come up to a microphone.
Melissa: Yes, that's going to happen.
Andrew: To ask us questions. Preferably related to the show. I don't want to talk about Horcruxes.
Melissa: No Horcruxes. I'm banning Horcruxes from this podcast.
Ben: The Horcri, Horcri.
Andrew: Or just any books.
John: Yeah. Please get it right.
Andrew: I don't want someone to come up and say, [in nerdy voice] "Do you think that Hermione in Book 3 was wrong to blah blah blah?" No.
Melissa: Okay, well then here's a goal. This podcast is all about the movies. That's it. Movie 4 and the others.
[All laugh]
Melissa: So, what about people sending us questions who can't be at the podcast? That we'll play.
Andrew: Oh. Uhm...well...that's a good question!
John: I don't know.
Andrew: You know the typical drill for sending in your voicemails to MuggleCast or PotterCast. This time though send your voicemail questions to hplive at gmail dot com.
Andrew: I'm so used to saying that.
Melissa: Uh-huh. I'm so glad I'm here.
Andrew: hplive at gmail dot com.
Melissa: Yes.
Andrew: And that way...we're not sure if we're going to play voicemails yet at this show. I'm sure we're going to have tons of questions.
Melissa: Oh gosh, yes.
Andrew: From people at the show. I think it would be fair to give those people first priority and then...
Melissa: So anyway, so then...so then we'll hang around and say, "Hi!" to everybody. And that will be it. Hey Andrew, okay here's the last thing I wanted to talk about, about this. There is wireless internet in this Barnes & Noble.
Andrew: So, the blog info?
Melissa: Oh wait, we should coincide... Yeah, we should coincide this going up with the pictures and video that I took, going up.
Melissa: So, if you look on our show notes pages, links to pictures, there's links to a video and now why don't you talk about the wireless internet thing.
Andrew: Okay so, as most of you know, wireless technology is growing in today's...technological society.
John: Oh for god's sake, just tell them about it! We don't need a speech.
Andrew: [Laughs] So, this Barnes & Noble will have wireless internet and we encourage everyone with notebooks to come out and blog from the scene. Report for us. We've got enough going on. Take pictures. Upload them. I'm sure we could probably have someone standing by on the other side of MuggleNet who could probably throw some pictures up. And probably TLC too.
Melissa: Probably.
John: Yes, send all your pictures to MuggleNet so they can make $100 on every single one with their 82 cagillion...
Ben: You jackass!
John: Pop-ups!
Andrew: [Laughs] I'd be laughing if that wasn't true!
Ben: Speaking of blog, visit Ben Schoen dot com, that's b, e, n, s, c, h, o, e, n dot com.
Ben: And I'm spent!
Melissa: Okay so...
Melissa: Bring cookies. Okay guys.
Ben: I'm just laughing half the time...
Melissa: Everybody say goodnight.
Ben: So, Melissa I'll see you at the premiere.
Melissa: So soon! I'm going to meet...but first I'm going to meet Ciaran in London again.
Andrew: Again! What do you now? I'll be darned.
Melissa: Didn't I meet him Scotland?
Ben: Why is he, why is he going to be in London?
Melissa: For the premiere.
Andrew: Because...he's not in the premiere. He's going...he's press.
Melissa: Covering. We're doing press.
John: Wait, Ciaran's a boy?
Andrew: Oh man!
John: I thought Ciaran was a girl.
Andrew: Why does everyone think he's a....well.
Ben: Okay, okay, enough.
John: That's a really girly name.
Ben: And this concludes, this concludes Episode 3 of the special Potter Muggle Pat Cat Dog Cast thing.
Andrew: Let's just merge.
Melissa: I mean it's easier.
Ben: For all of you, for all of you remember be there, just a few reminders. Podcast, live podcast, November 12th. And with that I have been Ben Schoen. I have slept...this... Wow, this is quite a podcast. I slept through part of it.
John: Yeah. All of your PotterCast subscribers, we apologize for this supremely unformatted podcast into every MuggleCast that just...
Andrew: Try to make it good, John.
Ben: Yeah.
Andrew [Show Close with music in the background]: I'm Andrew Sims, she's Melissa Anelli, he's John Noe. We're done.
Ben: And I'm Ben Schoen.
Melissa: And I've got no reason to say anything else. Thank you for that.
John: And your hand's all sweaty.
Melissa: I can't.
Andrew: My hand's all sweaty.
Ben: Your hand's all sweaty.
[Andrew laughs]

This product made my daughters Sweet 16 Beach Party perfect.
Best Uses
This was used for a sky backdrop for our vbs jungle/treehouse theme. I used push pins to hang it from wall. For the 100 ft length, u can't beat this price. And this can be saved to use again. I buy all my backdrops here. It's perfect!!
Best Uses
Loved this! We used it to make a sky in a garden themed room for an event we have at our church. The width and length of this product made it much easier to put up in a faster amount of time which was great! It was just the right color of that light sky blue and made our garden amazing!
Best Uses
The product is used as a backdrop for a company party. We use it to hide the bays and shelves on the loading dock. I've used this product for a few years now and it does what I need it to do! Though I only use one particular blue color, the selection is great. The quantity/length of the roll is GREAT too!
Best Uses
Used this vinyl to cover an entire room. The color was perfect and the product was very durable. Exactly what we expected!!
Best Uses
We got married in our backyard with a Luau Theme reception in our garage. We used the poly vinyl to cover the walls so you couldn't see the rakes,shovels etc. It worked out just the way i had planned. TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY AD I WILL USE THIS PRODUCT AGAIN!!
Best Uses
We use the poly vinyl to cover our gym mural in preparation for the school's Talent Show. Economical. Does the job well. The blue was a LITTLE bit thinner than the black we ordered previously, but not a problem.
Best Uses
We were able to cover our gym walls in 1/2 the time it took to cover them with regular paper. It also was easy to take down and store.
Best Uses
I purchased this product for work, as a wall covering. It served its purpose.

A really fun teapot in the form of a little old lady in a voluminous green dress, cape and equipped with an umbrella. She wears her hair in a bun with a floral bonnet and a big bow under her chin.The interior is clean with a tea leaf strainer at the intake to the spout. To the underside is "LITTLE OLD LADY REG. No. 827655 MADE IN ENGLAND" The registration number indicates the year 1938 in the British Registry.. Dimensions: Height 8 ½"; Handle to spout 7 ½"; Diameter base 6". In very good vintage condition. No chips or cracks. Slight loss to hand painted bow. The florals to the bonnet, also hand painted, show tiny losses. Crazing to the teapot is almost invisible to the naked eye, and is exaggerated in the photos. ABOUT US We've been involved with antiques for many years.

So I've been married a few months now. When we got married it didn't feel like a big deal because we had already been together for five years and had lived together for a while. We both went to work the next day and continued our lives as normal. Marriage was no big deal, I thought. I never even considered it possible that marriage could change anything. I'm starting to wonder if I was wrong about that.
No matter what I'm doing, I like to have an exit strategy. I think it it gives an illusion of choice. For example, I can quit my job any time I want. Somehow that keeps me going when times get rough because I feel like the end is near, so I can tolerate one more bad week or so. By the time that week is up I've usually snapped out of whatever funk I was in. I end up thinking, "Hey, I didn't quit, so I must be here for a reason." Marriage is different. When I get pissed at my wife what am I to do? I can't just break up with her or kill her. This thing is permanent, and sometimes that permanence leaves me feeling hopeless. If I can't just leave, how do I know I'm there for the right reasons? How do I know I'd still be there if I had the option to leave?
Why do I feel the need to spend my entire life with one person? I couldn't spend my entire life with one bike. If you look at some of our close primate relatives, many of them are not monogamous. I'm not sure that human monogamy is the best biological fit. It's most likely entirely culturally based, probably with roots in religion. I rejected religion long ago, yet I cling to this monogamy thing. That doesn't make any sense.
Times change and so do people. Where was I 5 years ago? I lived in a different town, had a different job, had a different car, had different friends, lifted weights almost to the point of obsession, and hadn't even started cycling yet. Look at me now. I don't even have a car (got rid of it in favor of a bike) and, outside of family, I don't even talk to people I knew back then. My weightlifting obsession was replaced with my cycling obsession, which, as funny as it may sound, has changed my outlook on a lot of things in life. Think about it. My diet changed, the people I hang out with changed (picture the average musclehead in your local gym alongside the average roadie), I went from spending 2 hours a day inside with blaring rock music to spending 2+ hours a day outside with peace and quiet, and so on. That all adds up. I think of myself now as a calmer, more peaceful man who is more connected to nature.
I've changed and I associate with different people, yet I still deal with the same woman. Or do I? Come to think of it, she has changed as well. What's funny is that the changes we've made tend to make us more and more different. When we first met neither one of us had many friends. As soon as we became close I felt socially satisfied and distanced myself even more from others. She has tended to gather more and more friends, none of whom have anything in common with me. She used to be in alright shape and she'd be open to me trying to get her to do somewhat active things like taking hikes. I get in better and better shape as my life goes on, but she gets in worse and worse shape. I can't ask her to do anything physical or else she'll whine about it and/or accuse me of calling her fat. We used to be pretty happy people, but these days she likes to get mad about any little thing and stay mad for the rest of the day. I can't even joke around anymore.
But here's the big problem- Our careers are taking on completely different paths. Ever since college was over I've wanted to move to a particular region of the country that shall remain anonymous. To make a long story short, my career has fallen flat on its face and I have wasted plenty of years of college. I'm at the point where I just need to start over. I have decided on a career that puts me in the exact region where I want to be. It will take me a long time to get hired, so I'm applying right away. My wife wants to stay where we are, and we had an agreement that we would stay here for 3 years. She accuses me of breaking our deal. The thing is, the only reason we're here in the first place is because she broke our original deal to begin with. (She applied for a job that she really wanted. I said if she got it we could stay here for 3 years. If not, we'd move as soon as we saved enough money. She didn't get the job. I figured we'd be moving after a year or so. Turns out she applied again and ended up getting the job.) It could take up to a year or more for me to even get hired, followed by 3 months of training, followed by maybe a month or so to move to my actual location. Overall we could be looking at a year and a half, which would make it 2 years that we've lived here. 2/3 isn't bad, right? After all, things change. I'm not happy here and one more year of plotting my escape is about all I can handle. I can understand why she would be upset that I broke our deal, but the funny thing is that I was going to apply for a 1-year volunteer program in the same area (many hours away) and she was OK with that.
Now I'm to the point where I really don't care. I'm not living here forever and that's that. If we get divorced over it, so be it. I'm excited about the new career. It's the only thing I've actually been able to see myself spending my whole life doing. Before we got married we both understood that I was going to move eventually. Now she's whining about it. I feel like she's trying to trap me here and planned on it all along. Or maybe I'm just selfish and should wait until my 3 years are up. Easier said than done. I'm tired of wasting my future. Life is too short.
