10.09.2009 / Posting by Demorrio Williams, former NU Blackshirt 2002-2003
Hey Huskers fans, this is Demorrio Williams checking in with my second blog entry. I heard great things about the game there in Lincoln last week. Everyone told me the atmosphere was electric... wish I could have been there to see it. The Huskers got a win which was big because they have got a tough one this week against Missouri. Both teams are ranked and it is on national television (ESPN) but regardless of records and television, this game is usually fought tooth and nail. Although Colorado and Oklahoma were our traditional rivals there at Nebraska, it seemed like while I was there and during the years since, the Missouri game is one that has developed into a big rivalry for both teams. I think ever since the famous ball-kick game, there has been a lot of bad blood between teams and the games played have been fierce. The two years I played, we split games with Missouri, winning at home in 2002 and losing on the road in 2003. One of the things that sticks out in my mind from when we played at Missouri was how rowdy the fans were. The stadium is built in a way where the stands come right down behind the bench so it seems like the crowd is right on top of you. It definitely made me uncomfortable having them that close and although I would not consider it intimidating, I remember some interesting comments being thrown our way. Missouri also did not provide us with a bus escort so it took a long time actually getting to and from the stadium. We had to wait in line with everybody else.
This year the Husker defense is going to have to step up big in order to shut down a high-powered Missouri offense. The key against the Missouri system is to get fast pressure on the quarterback and not allow him to check down. Make him get rid of the ball fast and not allow the big play. Missouri has always liked to run screen plays, but if you get enough pressure in the quarterback's face, it makes it hard for him to be accurate in making those throws. Fast pressure also makes for possible turnovers that can change the momentum of the game. The key to the game this week is if big Suh, Barry Turner, Pierre Allen and company as well as one or two of the linebackers can get up-field and disrupt the passing game. Especially because Missouri is breaking in a new quarterback. On the offensive side of the ball, Missouri is probably going to place priority on stopping the Huskers running attack. If they can slow it down and make Nebraska a one dimensional offense, it allows their athletic linebackers the option to either blitz or drop back into coverage making Zac Lee's passing reads a lot harder. So Nebraska really needs to pound it and hopefully break a couple of long runs.
This week we play the Dallas Cowboys and I'm hoping to play well and get a 'W'. So far this season I have been playing pretty good and am leading the team in tackles. Since I'm from Texas, the Cowboys game is big! I should have quite a lot of family at the game so I'm looking to "show out". We will be wearing throwback AFL jerseys which is pretty cool. Now that I play in the NFL for the Kansas City Chiefs I come in contact pretty regularly with Missouri fans. Like I said before, the game has become a bigger rivalry during the last several years and Missouri fans always want to talk about how they have had the upper hand lately. I think Nebraska should win this year and also think they should win the Big 12 North. I certainly hope so cause it would be nice to have some bragging rights around here again. Go Big Red!
Demorrio Williams #53 – Kansas City Chiefs

Six hours into the fourth day, Conrad and Bean prepared to enter and activate the lunar module. Both were having trouble with their biomedical sensors; Conrad's were blistering his skin and Bean's were producing erratic signals. Both men cleaned and reattached their electrodes, then finished donning their space suits and began preparing Intrepid for departure.
For the next several hours Conrad and Bean in Intrepid and Gordon in Yankee Clipper were busy setting up their guidance and navigation computers and exchanging data with the ground. When all was ready, Gordon turned the spacecraft so that the long axis of the command and service module was perpendicular to the flight path with the lunar module outward from the moon, retracted the docking latches, and fired his attitude-control thrusters to move Yankee Clipper away from Intrepid. The landing craft was 5 miles (8 kilometers) north of its intended ground track - largely as a result of an error in the landing site location and the inability to adequately correct for the moon's irregular gravity field. This and other errors would be removed by the instructions transmitted to the guidance computer after the lunar module headed down for its landing.
On the back side of the moon in the 13th revolution, the computer triggered a 29-second firing of the descent engine, bringing the low point of Intrepid's orbit to 8.1 nautical miles (15 kilometers). As the lander passed north of Mare Nectaris, Conrad turned it on its back with the descent engine pointed along the flight path and switched the engine on to begin the final approach. Everything went exactly as expected, and after two minutes Conrad commented that it "feels good to be standing up in a g-field again." Three minutes later the module's attitude-control thrusters began firing busily - more than Conrad thought they should - but Houston assured him that all was well.
After seven minutes Intrepidnosed over into a near-upright position and for the first time Conrad could see the lunar surface. The principal landmark identifying his landing point was a pattern of craters the astronauts called "Snowman"; Surveyor III lay halfway up the eastern wall of the crater that was the Snowman's torso, and Intrepid was targeted for the center of the crater. As soon as he could see out the window, Conrad cried delightedly, "Hey, there it is [Snowman]! There it is! Son of a gun! Right down the middle of the road!" Then, as Bean called out altitude, velocity, and quantity of fuel remaining; Conrad maneuvered the craft with his hand controller to pick a smooth spot to land on. The engine exhaust began kicking up dust about a hundred feet (30 meters) above the surface and by the time Intrepid reached 50 feet ( 15 meters) the cloud obscured the surface completely. At 1:54:36 a.m. EST on November 20, Pete Conrad made a blind landing - exactly where, he could not tell, but certainly close to the intended spot.
Conrad was naturally anxious to determine where he had set Intrepid down, and while he and Bean went through the post-landing check list they occasionally looked out the windows for landmarks that would allow Houston to pinpoint their location, but without success. After changing his mind a time or two, Conrad finally concluded, "I'm not sure that I'm not sitting fight smack on the other side of the Surveyor crater, just a little bit past it." Two hours later, Dick Gordon in Yankee Clipper confirmed Conrad's guess when he sighted both Intrepidand Surveyor III through his sextant as he passed over the site. He told Houston that the lunar module was "on the left shoulder of the Snowman... , about a third of the way from the Surveyor crater to the head. Postmission calculations placed Intrepidon the northwest rim of the Surveyor crater, 535 feet (163 meters) from the inert spacecraft. Had there been windows in the back of the lunar module, Conrad could have spotted the Surveyor as soon as the dust settled.
After postlanding checks of systems, Conrad and Bean described what they could see from their spacecraft. Intrepidhad landed in undulating terrain pocked with craters ranging from a few feet to several hundred feet across, the larger ones rimmed by large blocks of rock. Numerous boulders, up to 20 feet (6 meters) in size, were scattered around the site, most of them angular rather than rounded, many showing fillets of dust around the base. Immediately in front of the landing craft Bean saw an area of "patterned ground" - parallel cracks in the surface soil perhaps an eighth of an inch (3 millimeters) deep. From the lunar module the crew could distinguish no color differences in the rocks or soil; everything seemed the same bright white.

Dry mouth or Xerostomia is caused when the salivary glands are not producing
enough saliva in the mouth to keep it wet.
There are several causes of dry mouth. Diseases such as diabetes,
Parkinson's disease, as well as auto-immune diseases like HIV/AIDS and Sjogren's Syndrome
are all capable of causing xerostomia.
If you have dry mouth there are ways to combat the condition.
After meals and in between meals chew xylitol gum or suck on xylitol mints.
Guidance for good oral health:
Xylitol Gum and Mints:
Xylitol gums and candies are proven to help salivation
and have been endorsed by six national dental associations.

TUCSON, Ariz. ?- All nine Arizona starters finished with at least one hit, and John Meloan and Brad Mills teamed up to toss UA's sixth shutout of the season, as the No. 11-ranked Wildcat baseball team opened their three-game series against Utah Valley State with a 16-0 win at Jerry Kindall Field at Frank Sancet Stadium on Friday.
The victory improved Arizona to 30-15 overall for the year while Utah Valley State saw its two-game winning streak end with the defeat and its record fall to 16-34 for the year.
Trevor Crowe, Nick Hundley and Jeff Van Houten had three hits each as the Wildcats rapped out 17 in the game, including four doubles, three triples and two home runs.
Crowe finished 3 for 5 with two triples, a double, a pair of RBI and three runs scored.
Hundley tied classmate Jordan Brown for the team home run lead with his 11th of the year as part of a 3 for 5, three-RBI night at the plate. Van Houten, who also went 3 for 5 in the game, clubbed his fifth homer of the season in the sixth inning and tied Hundley with a game-high three RBI and three runs scored.
On the mound, Meloan (8-1) dominated the Wolverines, scattering five hits over eight innings while striking out 11 and walking only one. Mills closed out the win with a hitless inning in the ninth.
Crowe and Brad Boyer opened the game with back-to-back triples in the bottom of the first and Van Houten added a run-scoring single in the inning, as the Wildcats opened an early 2-0 lead off of UVSC starter Kyle Tash (2-7).
UA tacked on a single run in the fourth, six in the fifth, two in the sixth and five more in the eighth to win by double digit runs for the 11th time this season.
Arizona and Utah Valley State will play the second game of the series on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Kindall Field. UA right-hander Kevin Guyette is the scheduled starter for the Wildcats.

Blue Chip Stamps v. Manor Drug Stores
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Blue Chip Stamps v. Manor Drug Stores, 421 U.S. 723 (1975)
Blue Chip Stamps v. Manor Drug Stores
No. 74-124
Argued March 24, 1975
Decided June 9, 1975
Under an antitrust consent decree, petitioner New Blue Chip was required to offer a substantial number of common stock shares in its new trading stamp business to retailers like respondent which had previously used the stamp service but which were not shareholders in petitioner's corporate predecessor. Charging that New Blue Chip and other petitioners devised a scheme to dissuade the offerees by means of materially misleading statements containing an overly pessimistic appraisal of the new business from purchasing the securities so that the rejected shares might later be offered to the public at a higher price, respondent brought this class action for damages for violation of the provisions of § 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Act) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which make it unlawful to use deceptive devices or make misleading statements "in connection with the purchase or sale of any security." Acting on the basis of the rule enunciated in 1952 in Birnbaum v. Newport Steel Corp., 193 F.2d 461, which states that a person who is neither a purchaser nor a seller of securities may not bring an action under § 10(b) of the Act or the SEC's Rule 10b-5, the District Court dismissed respondent's complaint. The Court of Appeals reversed, concluding that the facts warranted an exception to the Birnbaum rule. The court noted that prior cases had held that the rule did not exclude persons owning contractual rights to buy or sell securities, and that the offering of securities in this case in compliance with the antitrust decree served the same function as a securities purchase or sales contract.
Held: A private damages action under Rule 10b-5 is confined to actual purchasers or sellers of securities, and the Birnbaum rule bars respondent from maintaining this suit. Pp. 421 U. S. 731-755.
(a) The longstanding judicial acceptance of the rule, together with Congress' failure to reject its interpretation of § 10(b)
argues significantly in favor of this Court's acceptance of the rule. P. 421 U. S. 733.

[Intro music begins]
Micah: Because apparently the co-workers are listening, this is MuggleCast Episode 124 for December 18th, 2007.
[Intro music continues to play]
Andrew: This is going to be one of our biggest shows in awhile, I think, because we have a lot to discuss. There are problems with the DVD that leave me infuriated, and Eric's back.
Eric: Hello, people.
Andrew: Eric's leaving for America tomorrow.
Eric: That's right.
Andrew: You excited?
Eric: Yeah, U.S. of A. Can't wait to be home. Drive my car on the left side of the - no the right side of the road. God, which side of the road is it?
Andrew: Uh oh.
Eric: Left side of the car, right side of the road. Yes, indeed.
Andy: Right, right.
Andrew: Yes.
Eric: I have my car waiting for me, prepped in the garage.
Micah: How do you know?
Eric: How do I know?
Micah: You're sure it's still there?
[Andrew laughs]
Eric: Why Micah?
Micah: What if your mom decided to sell it?
Eric: You...
[Eric laughs]
Andrew: Plus, you haven't been there for a year, so...
Eric: Yeah, I know. I'm worried that it won't start up, but...
Andrew: Wow, Eric. Before you get to America, we have a big show.
Eric: Wooo!
Andrew: To - Owww! My god, that blew my ears out.
Eric: Almost popped there. Thank God because...
Andrew: That you did...
Eric: Anti popping procedures, yes.
Andrew: You didn't pop, you just exploded. That sounds dirty. I'm Andrew Sims.
Eric: I'm Eric Scull.
Micah: I'm Micah Tannenbaum.
Matt: I'm Matt Britton.
Andy: And I'm Andy McCray.
Andrew: You know it's been relatively less than exciting - well actually, I take that back. It's been an exciting news week. There's only been a few stories, but they've been pretty big. A lot of them have focused around Beedle the Bard. Beedle the Bard was put on auction Thursday, December 13th. And the winning bid was placed by none other than Amazon.com for a staggering 3.98 million U.S. which equaled Ł1,950,000 in England. So it was an unbelievable bid. This far surpassed the bids that were predicted. They were - Sotheby's was predicting somewhere around Ł50,000 to Ł100,000, and then this bid by Amazon was just unbelievable. We didn't immediately know that Amazon was the winning bidder. However, they did release a press release later on. And they have plans for this book. What they're going to do is they're going to - they want to take it on tour to let kids read it and check it out. Isn't that a great idea?
Eric: I think it's cool.
Matt: It's awesome.
Andy: I think that's probably the best buyer we could have hoped for.
Eric: Yeah.
Andrew: Yeah, definitely. But, I wonder, what is Amazon's business model behind this?
Eric: Good question, Andrew. Because - well, then again, how much money do you think they've made from selling Harry Potter? [laughs]
Andrew: Oh, more than $4 million.
Eric: [laughs] So, it's...
Micah: Well, I wonder are they going to charge? They're taking this thing on tour.
Andrew: No.
Micah: But are they going to charge people to...
Eric: Well...
Micah: Go and see it?
Matt: Well, it may be on display in a museum and you have to pay to get in there.
Andrew: Yeah.
Matt: Yeah.
Micah: Possibly, yeah.
Andrew: But I mean, if Amazon's going to charge people to see this, I think the money's going to go to charity. There's no way they're going to profit off of people reading this. That just wouldn't be right.
Micah: Yeah. That's they other thing. I think for Amazon.com it's a huge PR push for them.
Andy: Exactly.
Micah: They just donated $4 million to the Children's Voice. Which, around the holiday season, you know, looks really good for them.
Andy: I'm sure it's even a dent in their profit anyway.
Andrew: Oh yeah.
Eric: It's still a nice gesture.
Andrew: Jeff [mispronounces]Bezos? Bezos, Amazon.com founder and CEO is quoted as saying:
"Even before establishing her charity, J.K. Rowling had done the world a rare and immeasurably valuable service - enlarging forever our concept of the way books can touch people, and in particular children, in modern times. When we deliver 'Harry Potter', kids are camped out at the post box, and the drivers get hugs."
When I read I sort of interpreted that as this is the way they're thanking J.K. Rowling for the business... [laughs]
Andrew: ...that she's brought Amazon. But it's very nice, it came out of nowhere. Nobody really would have predicted that Amazon would have done this. Would have come from some anonymous buyer that would have kept it for themselves. Here's the Amazon spin on things. They're going to be reviewing each of the five tales in the book, which is a fantastic idea. Very Amazon-like, because they post reviews for all the books that they sell on their website. The bad news for some people is that there - well, people were asking on Amazon's message boards, "Duh, are they going to, uh, reprint this? Because, uh, I want to buy it." No, they don't have the rights to the book and they made that clear. Yeah, we're not going to be seeing this, we're just going to be getting teased by Amazon.
Eric: [laughs] Repeatedly.
Andrew: Yes. And more pictures will be coming from Amazon. So, look forward to reading that - or reading more of the reports.
Andrew: Let's move onto some announcements and then we'll jump right into some DVD discussion, because The Order of the Phoenix DVD came out here in the U.S. We're going to be at Portus 2008, hp2008.org. We don't have any new updates yet, but we'll update you as soon as we can. We're going to be at the Potter
Podcast Palooza. And there it will be a night of Potter podcast things, hosted by several Harry Potter podcasts, and then one podcast at the end where all the hosts will be gathered and host one panel about Harry Potter podcasting. So we look forward to going to that. Hp2008.org, go there and register for Potter Palooza and also Portus so you can be there and check us out live.
Eric: It's in Texas, right Andrew?
Andrew: It's in Texas, it's in Dallas, TX. Eric, are you going to come?
Eric: Yep, absolutely.
Andrew: Micah, you're going to come?
Micah: Yep, if I can, you know...
Andrew: Get off work?
Micah: Make it, yeah. [laughs] They actually are much more persistent now in finding out more about this podcast. Apparently this news broke in my office and now more people know that I do this show...
[Matt laughs]
Micah: ...than originally.
Eric: And you're getting business cards, and people come up to you, and they say "Can you sign this, Micah?"
Micah: No, they literally walk down the hall, and they're like, "Ha, ha, what's buggin' Micah?"
[Everyone laughs]
Andrew: Wow
Matt: That's awesome.
Andrew: That is awesome.
Micah: Which is a segment that hasn't been used in I don't even know how many episodes.
Andrew: So what's buggin' you? Maybe as a prank I could like bring a copy of it and we could play it through the office and everyone could listen to you complain.
Micah: Yeah.
Andrew: You would be so embarrassed.
Micah: Could also be played at the holiday party.
Andrew: Yeah, there you go. Or Micah's retirement going away party.
Micah: Ah.
Andrew: Ah. Funny.
Eric: Geez.
Andrew: Anyway, moving on to more announcements. We're gearing up for our holiday show, which is going to be next week, and then the week following that will be our New Year's show. They're going to be two really fun episodes, so for the holiday show next week we want everyone to mail in some holiday greetings, maybe some poems and messages related to MuggleCast/Harry Potter. If you've listened to our holiday episodes in the past, you'll know that they're lighthearted and kind of corny, but at the same time just very holiday-ish and full of holiday cheer and mistletoe and stuff. So send in your holiday greetings, poems, any messages you want to relate to fans and listeners to mugglecast at staff dot mugglenet dot com this week. You could also send in songs, if you want to make a song, known in the fandom as filks.
Micah: We're not promising to sing, though.
Andrew: Oh, no, no, no. I wasn't talking about singing, I was talking about we'll play someone's song.
Micah: Okay.
Andrew: I'll sing something.
Micah: Yeah. Go for it.
Andrew: Send a - create a filk for me to sing. Give me like a karaoke track, and I'll sing it. Or if you want someone else to sing it, you know?
Eric: Do you guys remember the "Night Before MuggleCast," or something, where we all did that?
Andrew: Right, yeah, that was nice.
Eric: Yeah, that was absolutely brilliant. I forget who wrote it, but it was really brilliant, and we all did that.
Andrew: Micah, we were honored by iTunes this week, right?
Micah: Yeah, it's kind of cool. They put together a collection of podcasts that are "the Best of 2007," and according to your post here, Andrew, they put us on the list of classic podcasts that are still going strong.
Andrew: We're a classic. We're a podcasting classic. [laughs] I love it.
Micah: You know, it's interesting, because I was thinking about this the other day. We started in the summer of 2005, so going into next year we'll have spanned four years. I know we haven't been around for four years.
Andrew: Wait, you mean three?
Eric: Three, Micah. Eight minus five. Three.
Micah: Well, 2005, '06, '07, 08.
Eric: Oh, yeah. I see what you're saying.
Micah: So, I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on that. I think it's a pretty cool honor.
Andrew: It's something to be proud of, yeah. I mean, especially, they put us on the front page. I think, what, it looks like maybe twenty podcasts, fifteen to twenty podcasts, in each category are posted on the front page of this list, and then there are like 30 or 40 others that are on a secondary page. When I saw this on iTunes, I clicked the button and I started scrolling down. I was like, "Come on, come on, come on." I was on the phone with Matt, actually, while I was looking at this. I was like, "Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on," and then I saw it, and then Matt, what did I say?
Matt: Yeah, you pretty much blew the speaker out on my phone, too.
Andrew: I was yelling, "F yeah, f yeah!" I was just really excited.
Matt: Yeah, he said some other things too, but that's not really appropriate for the show, is it?
Andrew: It was just exciting. I had an off-air excited moment. Because, you know, it's cool, being called the "Best of 2007" by iTunes. That's a big honor.
Matt: Mhm.
Eric: Yeah, I agree. Yeah.
Andrew: So we thank iTunes for that.
Micah: So Andrew, with being the 'Best of 2007...'
Andrew: Funny we should be honored by iTunes in this way, as even iTunes saying that we're still going strong, which is true. I do completely agree that we're still going strong and will till our very end [coughs] a few months.
Andrew: We have decided after some discussion and long, long emails back and forth to one another and several months of consideration that we are going to come up with a final plan for this show, where we're going to take this show in the next few months. And we have decided that April 6th, tentatively, Episode 140, will be our final regular weekly episode of MuggleCast. Now I know what I'm hearing from listeners. "No!" [cries] We have decided that Episode 140 will be our final episode of MuggleCast. This isn't a joke. We're dead serious about this. We decided that it was time to come up with a plan for the show, where we're going to take it. Because right now, you know, we're doing Chapter-by-Chapter and still going strong, we still have tons of listeners, everyone is still enjoying the show, but we can't just continue to run around in the dark with our hands tied behind our backs. We need a plan. We need to know what we're doing, how long we're going to last.
Eric: Right. It's - yeah.
Andrew: So, Eric do you want to comment on this?
Eric: Yeah. I mean, it's really important to us that you guys know that we know where we're going, and it is important to set a finite date to the show because that way we get to plan around the content and sort of organize everything, and make the last, what do we got, 16 episodes? The last 16 episodes count. So it's counting down.
Andrew: That's scary.
Eric: Yeah, it means only sixteen episodes left.
Andrew: Sixteen feels like nothing at all! [laughs]
Eric: It does feel like nothing Andrew, it does.
Andrew: But this won't be the end of us doing podcasting and hosting podcasts.
Eric: Not at all.
Andrew: We want to do other shows, we're all for that.
Eric: And we will.
Andrew: And we will, yeah. Absolutely. Probably as soon as MuggleCast is over. We want to take you guys, the listeners, over to whatever we do in the future.
Matt: We're taking you to the next level.
Andrew: Exactly.
Eric: And, we will still do MuggleCast, just not weekly.
Andrew: Right.
Eric: Things like events, the movie premieres, things like that, if we can still get in, if they still recognize us.
Andrew: Oh absolutely. I mean, listen, MuggleNet is not going anywhere, that's for sure. That's a powerhouse and always will be. MuggleCast is a podcasting powerhouse too. We won't be disappearing, you know, the MuggleCast site will still be online, all the episodes will be available, the feed will still be available. You know, we'll still blog from time to time, and we will do the podcast like Eric was saying, and of course we're still going to be at Portus, doing a fantastic live show there.
Eric: Whoo!
Andrew: We just plan on ending our regular weekly live shows come the first week of April. That should be, if all goes according to schedule, Episode 140. So you're wondering, there's 36 chapters and we've only done 4, the plan after this week's episode, is to do two chapters a week. Then we'll finish with Episode 139, and then Episode 140 will be a goodbye show.
Eric: And that's give or take a few weeks. I mean it's not, you know, finite. But...
Andrew: Yeah it could change, but that's what we're aiming for right now.
Eric: Yeah, yes.
Micah: And I think... Well no I just want people to realize what you were saying before, that this is not necessarily and easy decision, but it was a decision that all of us sort of weighed in on like you were talking about before, via e-mail and instant message. And we just decided that we needed to do this because, you know, we don't want to drag it out and make it into something that it hasn't been. You know, it's been tremendously successful...
Eric: Right.
Micah: People have enjoyed it, and they've stuck with us, and we want to make sure that we're giving you guys something that you continue to enjoy. We don't want to just drag it out for as long as possible.
Eric: It has got to be quality. Setting this date allows us to prevent ramble casts...
Eric: ...and things that other podcasts are doing just to stay in there. You know, with this date, we have a finite set of, you know, what we can expect. And, also Andrew, you had said in your e-mail, the quite lovely thing you said in your e-mail was that that way we know that we've given Book 7 enough time if we complete Chapter-by-Chapter with it, we've given Book 7 enough as opposed to ending the show right when it came out, which as you know and as we know, MuggleCast spiked. There were all these new listeners with Book 7, so we want to give those listeners enough discussion about Book 7, because most of our podcast was all, you know, post-Book 6, and leading up to it. So, we wanted to make sure we cover the book and covered pretty much everything like, in the future, on a weekly basis, until the end.
Andrew: Right. And one other thing I want to add to this is that I used to say a long time ago, I'm not sure if I said this publically, I probably did, that we'll keep doing shows until, you know, we have one listener left. But, in hindsight, the truth of the matter is we want to end it, like Micah and Eric were both saying, on a high note. We want to end it when we're up high, when we have tons of listeners, when people still enjoy us. We don't want to end the show because we have nobody listening left, and we're completely out of content. We want to end on a good note so we can look back in 10 years and say, "Oh my god, we did 140 episodes of that show, that's fantastic, we were so successful, I love myself." Not to sound arrogant.
Eric: I think Andrew, though; I think just 150 episodes sounds better personally.
Andrew: We'll get to 150 eventually.
Eric: Because it's an episode for every one of the original Pokémon, you know?
Andrew: Oh that's true, that's a very crucial part of this show.
Eric: Yeah, you know? So...
Andrew: We'll get to do 150 episodes, just not on a weekly basis.
Eric: Yeah, which is fine, which is totally fine.
Andrew: So, that's our plan. Now you guys know what we're doing and where we are going with the show so we will not be wasting your time with each new episode that comes out between now and April because we have a plan. We have a good plan and we are going to stick with it.
Eric: With that said, with that said, let's get some freaking MuggleCasting going on, eh?
Andrew: Yeah, well we are still going to still bring the funny every week, you can guarantee that.
[Eric and Andrew make funny sounds]
Andrew: Funny! Okay, maybe we should end this sooner.
[Matt and Andrew laugh]
Eric: DVD discussion. [laughs]
Andrew: [laughs] Yes, let's move on to some DVD discussion.
Eric: Yeah.
Andrew: Order of the Phoenix DVD came out this week in the United States. It's been out in England and Australia for a month now...
Eric: And New Zealand.
Andrew: And New Zealand. Pretty much everywhere else. The U.S. had to wait for once, and it's here, we have it now. And I want to star off by making one complaint and I saw people complaining about this so far. It is a great DVD. It really is, it is my favorite movie watching it again. But, the first 15 minutes of it, and the last half hour of it are pixilated on mine. It is rough, grainy quality. There must have been a compression issue.
Eric: What?
Andrew: Yeah.
Matt: What? What?
Andrew: I can not believe it. It is very annoying, it fixes itself about 15 minutes in but about a half-hour before it ends, it starts up again so it must have been a compression problem. I bought this at Wal-Mart and if anyone else has a problem let me know. Email in to andrew at staff dot mugglenet dot com, let me know where you bought it from, that is important too because my theory is that a batch of them went out to say, Wal-Mart and got screwed up so let me know we can go to Warner Brothers and who know, maybe we can be able to get refund copies. We'll see.
Eric: Okay. The U.S. waited how much longer than Australia, New Zealand and the UK to get this DVD.
Eric: And then it has a grainy picture quality?
Eric: Now, on my PAL DVD, I mean the first 15 minutes are rather dark.
Andrew: Really?
Eric: So, things like caption pictures I have been using and stuff, haven't been that clear. You know, that sort of thing because it's so dark, but there has been nothing grainy or pixilated or anything lower quality necessarily. But I am under the impression that NTSC quality is better than PAL anyway from the screen caps that I have done so you guys shouldn't be having any problems.
Andrew: Yeah. Well frame rate-wise it is better, I don't know if the picture quality is actually, literally looks better it is just the frame rate - I don't know. I'm not too sure.
Matt: I don't think it is a large amount of people who have it because if it was, the DVD has been out for about three days now and if there was a large scale of DVDs that were tampered with they would have something on the news or something about it.
Andrew: Probably, but I mean I have seen a couple comments on MuggleNet, so I know I am not the only one. So, we'll see what happened with that. Moving along, and a few of us that have a problem with this DVD being that we're on Macs is that a lot of the features you are not able to use. For example, the Half-Blood Prince sneak peek, the Timeline, and the downloadable copy, all of that is only available on Windows, you have to use the Interactual Player, which is crap in and of itself.
Eric: Yeah, I never liked that crap.
Matt: Yeah. Its crap.
Eric: It is crap.
Andrew: But, while we are on the topic, did you guys see this new Half-Blood Prince sneak peek? It did go on YouTube and surprisingly WB has not taken it down yet.
Matt: I think it is cool. Yeah.
Andy: I think it is really good because it is a lot more revealing than the last one we saw.
Matt: Yeah, it didn't show more than half of the production in the first ten months...
Eric: Nice. So it shows what they have been doing.
Matt: Yeah.
Andrew: Yeah. I mean, to be fair the one that came out a month ago, they probably didn't have that much to film, I mean they have had a lot more to film and just like the UK and Australia copies, this preview you also had to be online. It wasn't on the actual DVD and that is so they have more time to put it together.
Micah: I was just going to say, I know we had talked about on an earlier show, why the DVD waited so long to come out here and I still don't see Half-Blood scenes being a possible reason. I know they are different for the U.S. and I am still not sure why they waited this long for the DVD to come out here.
Eric: Begs the question.
Andrew: Yeah, I know but I mean really it is in the past we don't really have to worry about it now that it is out.
Micah: But we don't want to rehash the old wounds.
Andrew: Yeah, yeah.
Micah: Is that what you are saying?
Andrew: So this new sneak peak has a bunch of interviews with Matthew Lewis, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Dan Radcliffe, David Yates...
Eric: Ralph Fiennes.
Andrew: Ralph Fiennes is in here?
Eric: He was in The Secrets of Harry Potter thing.
Andy: I don't think so.
Andrew: Oh, I wasn't I was talking about...
Micah: He was talking about the...
Eric: Oh do you mean Half-Blood Prince? I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Yeah. Sorry.
Andrew: So far it is a good preview. Oh and then David Yates is in this, as well. Or, sorry, yeah, David Yates.
Eric: Sweet.
Andrew: Moving along, deleted scenes...
Eric: Hmmm. Or additional scenes.
Eric: As they are called.
Andrew: Extended.
Micah: Horrible.
Andrew: Horrible, Micah?
Andrew: Why?
Micah: Other than Trelawney eating, okay?
Eric: Oh, come on. Trelawney eating was dumb.
Matt: I kind of agree there.
Andrew: Trelawney eating...
Micah: Okay.
Andrew: But...
Eric: It was funny, but how would they have spliced that into the film?
Andy: Yeah.
Eric: It was worth seeing.
Eric: As a scene, it was worth seeing, but they...
Micah: But what else was there? Other than that, there was nothing of any value that was in the deleted scenes.
Matt: Oh, come on!
Micah: Nothing.
Matt: What about when Harry went into Dumbledore's office? That was frigging awesome!
Eric: Exactly, I agree with Matt.
Matt: That was like the epitome of all the flashbacks in the movie.
Eric: Yeah, totally.
Andrew: Yeah, um...
Eric: And all the whirring, whizzing things that they spent so much time building just for that scene.
Andrew: Yeah, now Matt.
Eric: And when it got taken out, and Dumbledore's like, "Harry come in."
Micah: But it was cut short though, too. That's what I thought with a lot of these. There wasn't a little bit more too them where there probably could have been. Like that scene that you are talking about in particular. They didn't have any discussion whatsoever after that point.
Matt: No, I'm not saying the scene was good. No, I thought it was horrible, but I thought the beginning part of it was really nice, just the music and just the tone of everything. You got to see the sword of Gryffindor. You got to see the sorting hat, and then you got to see Dumbledore with - I think Fawkes in the background - but I just, I like it.
Eric: Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Matt: For some reason, I liked the way Michael Gambon was in that scene. The way he just called to Harry was very sincere and a little bit like Dumbledore, which we don't see much of his character.
Eric: But most of the scenes, some of them were just additional few seconds.
Eric: Inter-spliced in between the other ones, such as - yeah, those were interesting.
Andrew: Those weren't as exciting.
Matt: How many were there? There weren't even that many this time.
Eric: I - four or five small ones.
Andrew: You know?
Eric: There was one right after where Ron asks everyone, "Has anyone else got a problem with Harry?" And then he goes up, and it was right after the fight with Seamus and the camera pans over to Neville, and Neville says, "My Gran says it's the 'Prophet' that's rubbish. We cancelled our subscription."
Matt: Why did...
Eric: Why did they cut that?
Matt: I know. The shortest movie, they could have kept twenty seconds in.
Micah: Yeah. I thought that was kind of interesting...
Eric: It wasn't even 20.
Micah: ...that they didn't keep that part in.
Eric: It's just like, hmm, but it was interesting. I am glad they included that for us.
Andy: Also in that scene you see Neville's plant.
Andy: In the other behind the scenes thing they show them making that and it looks like it would have taken so long to make it.
Andy: And then it is just sort of cut.
Andrew: Right.
Andy: You never see it.
Andrew: Yeah. It had it's own remote control. That must have taken a while to build. That poor guy ho built that, when he heard that it must have got cut, he must have been so mad.
Eric: Are you kidding? If he built it, he got to take it home with him and he plays with it.
Andrew: Well, that's true.
Eric: He could build another one and just...
Micah: I was kind of happy too that they left out the scene with Crabbe and Goyle beating up...
Eric: The kid!
Micah: ...one of the kids, because that...
Eric: Because Filch had, yeah.
Micah: had no place. She never really did that in the book.
Matt: It didn't make sense!
Eric: Right.
Micah: She would have to be that mean of a person to kind of let that stuff go on.
Eric: It does. Oh, that reminded me. What about the scene where Umbridge comes out of the Great Hall smoking?
Micah: That was funny.
Eric: And her hair is smoking, and Filch leans in everso slightly and blows the smoke. [laughs]. It was all right. I wonder what David Bradley does on the set though, because obviously he's got - I mean we have seen Natalie Tena's makeup process and stuff, and they still dress up David Bradley. He has done this five times. He has these wonderful quirky scenes where he is dancing with his cat and stuff, and you know he must have a ball on the set.
Andrew: But at the same time I think he is one of the characters that gets cut the most.
Andrew: He does funny stuff in the movies, but it just ends up getting cut, because his character does nothing in the movies to advance the plot except for in Chamber of Secrets.
Andrew: So why not cut his stuff. I don't know if David Bradley cares. I know he was quoted in the interview saying that his grand kids or his kids wanted him to do the role.
Eric: Are just happy to see him.
Matt: Well, his character in the book, doesn't do much for the plot anyway either.
Andrew: Well that is what I am saying.
Eric: That's true. What does Filch do in Book 7? I mean, we don't know.
Andrew: Yeah. Nothing.
Eric: Do we see him in Book 7?
Andrew: I think we do. You have got to imagine Jo...
Eric: We'll find out.
Andrew: We'll find out when we read it, yeah.
[Andrew and Eric laugh]
Eric: For the first time!
Andrew: Yeah. Another big feature on the bonus disc was trailing Tonks. Now I have to say that this was funny. This was original. Natalia Tena was perfect for this idea.
Eric: I agree.
Andrew: And her singing voice! Oh my god!
Eric: Isn't it lovely?
Andrew: I get chills every time I hear it. It's fantastic. Oh my god!
Eric: I know, right?
Andrew: [sighs] So good! So good!
Eric: She needs to do rock. She needs to do Wizard Rock. Absolutely. I'm not...
Andrew: Well, she's in a band.
Eric: Oh, she is?
Andrew: She's in a band and she's a singer and she also plays - in the band she plays the accordion.
Eric: Oooh.
Andrew: As well as sing.
Andy: Interesting.
Matt: The accordion? Who plays the accordion?
Eric: Weird Al Yanchovic plays the accordion.
Matt: Yeah, and that guy's weird.
Andrew: Dan Federichi of Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band plays the accordion, thank you very much.
Eric: That's incredible.
Matt: That was weird that you knew that right off the bat.
Andrew: She's in the band...
Andrew: Well, because, I mean, anyway, she's in the band Nat Jenkin. I think it's just a little, you know, garage band, perhaps, because they don't have a Wikipedia entry so they can't be big.
Andrew: We have a Wikipedia entry, so...
Eric: Yeah, but it's a bio of living persons, so it gets maintained very, very, very closely.
Andrew: True.
Eric: No jokes. So, yeah, Trailing Tonks was really neat in a way. It didn't - yeah. It was neat.
Matt: Well, it was made by her and her brother, that was it.
Eric: I know. And I think they helped - Warner Brothers had to help with the Marauder's Map thing.
Eric: Like putting the Marauder's Map in once it was done. But yeah, basically when the credits roll, you see "Nat, Tina, Nat, Tina, Nat, Tina, Nat's brother, Nat, Tina, Nat, Tina..."
Andrew: Yeah, I thought that was a joke at first, but then I realized, "Oh..."
Eric: But then I'm thinking - did Warner Brothers rip off Nat and Tina because they didn't have enough content for their DVDs? So, they have Nat fooling around on set and they're like, "Oh!" But yeah, I really liked it. I thought it was interesting.
Matt: I really liked the concept of that.
Andrew: Me too.
Matt: It was really fun.
Andrew: And I wonder if she came to Warner Brothers or Warner Brothers went to her or maybe her brother...
Eric: Well, that was where they film it. Oh, do you mean about acquiring the...
Matt: I think it was her...
Andrew: I'm saying just doing that idea in the first place.
Matt: She just seems like the kind of person who would want to just do that on her down time, because she seems really energetic.
Andrew: Yeah, I agree.
Matt: And it just seems like she'd be like, you know, [impersonating Natalia Tena] "I just want to do something...I'm going to get my brother and ask Warner Brothers if I could go behind the scenes and sing for it and plug myself and so I could..."
Eric: And feed food to people.
Matt: That was funny.
Andy: The was funny.
Andrew: That was so funny. That was good.
Eric: The was funny. He was, "More beans. No, no, more than just a few."
Andrew: And that one guy who didn't want it.
Eric: Yeah, he was like, "I don't want to get the can out." But what always impresses me about the props departments and things like that, is when they do have props from the previous films that, like, for instance, the Gringott's Vault door, like, they still had that.
Andrew: Oh, they keep everything.
Eric: Did you see that?
Andrew: They keep everything. They keep everything.
Eric: I know they do. Well, what doesn't get striked and taken down gets pretty much saved, but they still had that and I thought, well, that would be wonderful for in the seventh...
Eric: You know, in the seventh movie, you know? Just again. But they have all of that. They have Dobby. Did you see the mark up of Dobby? I thought that was awkward, I didn't think they ever planned on having him in any of the future movies so why would they even...
Matt: Did anybody see the Wizard cereal on the board, where all the...
Andrew: In the... Yeah, yeah.
Eric: Yeah! The graphic design - they have everything! There were candy bar wrappers and everything.
Andrew: That must be a fun job.
Eric: That's got to be fun.
Andy: What about when she tries to bounce the prophecy?
Andrew: They were just like, "No." That guy was straight up annoyed. He did not want her there.
Matt: She obviously overstayed her welcome in that room.
Eric: Yeah, totally. The sound guys - she was just quiet around. We didn't really learn about sound editing. But then we have the other features.
Andrew: Well, the thing about that is she didn't actually go into a sound room. She was on the set. That was right...
Eric: Oh, yeah.
Andrew: Those little sound cart, those little sound - mobile sound - you know, whatever you want to call them, that's right off stage.
Eric: So wait.
Andrew: So, they're filming, they have to be quiet.
Eric: Andrew, you told me - did you - when you went on the set visit, did you see that set? Did you see...
Andrew: Yeah, you know, I think...
Eric: Were you with the bicycles?
Andrew: Yeah, well, it's funny. The bicycles are right in the front - well, first of all, that Marauder's Map that they have, that is not how the studio's laid out at all.
Andrew: Like, that's completely, that couldn't be further from the truth. I don't know why they set it up that way. But the bikes are right at the entrance of Leavesden, and you know, I didn't even see people riding around on the bikes. I saw golf carts. There's a lot of golf carts going around.
Eric: Oh.
Andrew: Which I guess might be easier because you don't have to actually physically do something. But yeah, that was there, what was the original question? Yeah, that set was the Veil, I think. I think they were right behind the veil.
Eric: Oooh!
Andrew: Because I sort of recognized that area. She didn't cover as much as she probably could've. The Great Hall is awesome.
Andrew: Going to the prop... Maybe there's got reasons why they didn't go to some areas. The prop area, like we were saying before - you were saying how they keep everything. They keep everything. There's this huge gated area that just has all the props and you feel like you're in a Harry Potter time machine. They have all the...
Andrew: The two Ford Anglias, they got the signs from Diagon Alley, they just have everything, it's unbelievable.
Andy: Cool.
Eric: Cool.
Matt: Oh!
Eric: What about thos - oh, what?
Matt: And we found out what Fang's real name is.
Eric: Yes.
Matt: It's Monkey.
Eric: Monkey.
Micah: Monkey.
Andrew: [laughs] Monkey.
Eric: Well, actually, just Fang from movies three, four, and five.
Matt: I think it was just four and five...
Andrew: Yeah.
Matt: Wasn't it?
Eric: Well, yeah, she said the past two, so I don't know if she's including five in that.
Andrew: Oh.
Matt: She says she has one more movie and then he'll be retired.
Eric: He'll retire, so if Fang is in movie seven then...
Matt: It's kind of weird, I've never really thought about changing Fangs. I didn't think there were that many dogs that look like that.
Eric: Well, it's just like in Free Willy. Free Willy was a whale that unfortunately passed away, and I think...
Andrew: Oh don't remind me...
Eric: And in Air Bud, Air Bud as well.
Matt: Air Bud.
Eric: They've used so many - well, because they make so many damn sequels.
Eric: You know, the dog would get tired of it. If I were the dog I would refuse.
Matt: Mhm. Juststay in my trailer and never leave.
Eric: I've got 33 of these things, I'm not doing a 34th.
Micah: I was just going to say I don't - in particularl those dogs I don't think have very long life spans, mastiffs. Which I think is the type of dog I think Fang is.
Matt: Yeah. Just the way the eyes droop.
Eric: Well, look at how wrinkled they are. That thing's ready for death.
Micah: No, just because of how large they generally grow...
Micah: ...they tend to have a lot of...
Matt: Complications.
Micah: Diseases and problems. Yeah.
Eric: It's sad.
Andrew: One other thing from Trailing Tonks that I thought was good was Matt Lewis and Alfred Enoch.
Matt: Alfie.
Eric: Enoch.
Andrew: What?
Matt: I think it's Alfie.
Eric: Alfie Enoch?
Andrew: Oh, I don't know, that's why we have it on the MuggleNet cast page. They were out behind the...
Eric: The studios.
Andrew: Yeah, but they were right by the Privet Drive.
Matt: Oh really?
Andrew: Did you see the background were the...
Eric: Oh yeah.
Andrew: Were the backs of Privet Drive? They were just sitting there playing cricket, or whatever that crazy U.K. sport is. That was pretty funny. Seeing how they just shoot the breeze and relax.
Eric: And they should be doing homework.
Eric: Because all of them - they all get schooled pretty much on set, or they used to. Yeah, because of all the...
Andrew: I think they just have so much time on their hands it just...
Eric: Certainly. But then I realized that when they were going through this too, and about how many films they made, and this is actually the fifth movie set they've been on, but for periods of three and four months at a time, you know? Like, that's got to be pretty intense, like, doing this, and they've still got two full movies to go.

The Latin Grammy Awards, held November 10, will honor Colombian diva Shakira as Person of the Year. She joins past recipients Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin, Carlos Santana and Julio Iglesias and will be the youngest person to receive the award. Considering her career started more than 15 years ago (and before "Whenever, Wherever"; that was her worldwide crossover but not her first), she's still more than put in her years and hits. The award also honors her outside ventures, including founding the charity Pies Descalzos Foundation and being a UNICEF ambassador.
This year, Shakira's up for three awards: Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Sale e Sol and Best Short Form Music Video for "Loca." Here's a refresher.

TC TO DAVID AITKEN; 29 June 1827; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18270629-TC-DA-01; CL 4:235.
21. Comley Bank, 29th June [1827].
My Dear Sir,
I am very sorry that I missed you yesterday, and cannot now expect to meet with you till after our return from Dumfriesshire, some weeks hence.
I had a letter from Dr Julius,1 which I will show you; and a very brief Note from Goethe, intimating that he had sent (or rather on the 17th of May was about "nächstens" [speedily] to send) a parcel hither, "gleichfalls über [also by way of] Hamburg." Now I know by experience how very negligent these Lieth and Hamburg people are; nay I am not without an opinion that the packet has already arrived, tho' on inquiring the other day at their Office I could get no information, the parcels being still all in the ship. Yet would it not be a proper vexation if a message of friendly tendency from "The Poet" were to be lost in such a despicable spot as the Lieth Customhouse? Knowing your experience in these matters, and your constant readiness to oblige, might I request that after your return you would some day make the necessary investigations, and if unsuccessful in this instance, be afterwards on the outlook for this same precious Sendung [consignment]? It would give us real pleasure to receive it in Dumfriesshire, and not the less that we owed it in part to your goodness. The Servant remains here, and knows our address.
With best regards from Mrs C. I remain always,
My Dear Sir, / Very truly Your's, /
Thomas Carlyle—

Representatives from the two sides in the lawsuit between Park City Mountain Resort and Talisker Land Holdings, LLC have been tightlipped about whether they have come to an agreement to keep PCMR open this coming ski season. The latest extension of a court-imposed deadline to mediate a settlement passed Sunday without any new information being released to the public.
Also, late Tuesday afternoon, the attorneys asked to continue today's scheduled bond hearing until Friday, with a time to be determined by the judge.
Last week, PCMR stated: "Our goal is, and has always been, to keep the resort open for the 2014/15 season and beyond. We are continuing to work with Vail/Talisker towards a reasonable resolution and will provide an update to the Court prior to the bond ruling on Wednesday, September 3." (Now set for Friday, Sept. 5.)
PCMR representative Krista Parry said in a text message on Monday that the resort's earlier statement was still accurate.
When contacted Sunday, Talisker attorney John Lund reiterated the same message, saying the parties were still working together.
As part of the mediation, both sides are legally required to keep those discussions confidential. Over the weekend, they declined to confirm or deny whether mediation had concluded.
Both sides are now expected to return to Third District Court on Friday to hear Judge Ryan Harris' ruling on the size of the bond that PCMR will need to post while it appeals the court's earlier determination that its lease had expired.
In a previous court hearing, PCMR's attorneys suggested that an appropriate amount for the bond would be between $1.02 million and $6.56 million. Talisker's side said the bond, which reflects past-due rent and legal costs, should be set at $123.9 million.
While lawyers argue that mediation and the amount of the bond are separate issues, the leap-frogging deadlines and extensions suggest they are intertwined. In the meantime, city leaders and business people in the community are counting the days until ski season and anxiously awaiting a decision on whether PCMR will be open for skiing this year and, if so, whether it will be operated by the current owner, Powdr Corp., by Vail Resorts, which runs Canyons for Talisker, or by some sort of new partnership.

It was another day in London. A little to humid, but it was okay. You were waiting for your boyfriend Arthur Kirkland, the son of the Prime Minister of England. No one knew about you and frankly, no one liked Arthur since he used to be too much of a rebel.
"Hey, love!" You looked up and saw the face of your man. His eyebrows thick as always, his green eyes shining in the sunlight, and his clothing casual.
He kissed you, without letting you say anything else. The kiss was almost unreal, something you couldn't resist but let him do. You pulled away, looking at Arthur's devilish smirk.
"So, where does my little baby want to go?" He smiled holding your hand.
"Don't you have somewhere you have to be?" You asked raising your eyebrow. You had just seen the news, and knew Arthur probably knew nothing of what was going that day. He stood thinking for a moment then turned to look at you.
"No..." He said sure of himself.
"Arthur!" You knew exactly where he had to be, "Your dad is meeting with the President of the United States!"
"So? You said it; with my dad, not me." Arthur said, but then he slapped his forehead, not letting go of your hand, "Bloody hell! He has a son!"
You nodded as a smile spread on your face knowing you were right, as always, "And you're going to have to hang out with him." Of course you were sad that he had to go, but you knew it was important.
"But-! But-! I want to be with you _____!" Arthur said stopping both of you from walking any further. You giggled at the face he was making. Arthur's cheeks were red and his expression changed to a spoiled child not getting what he wants.
"If you don't do it, your dad will get mad." You reminded.
"I don't care..." He pouted, and then he had an epiphany, "Come with me..."
You turned your head vigorously, cracking a few bones in your neck.
"Are you mad?!" You yelled.
"I want you to come with me! ______ I haven't seen you in such a long time... I need you there."
You couldn't say no to that adoring face and it was true you had not seen him in a long time, and you were just going to hang out. You sighed and shook your head in disapproval, but you knew you were bound to give in.
"Fine..." You sighed. Arthur smiled and spun you in his arms. You giggled as he put you down and kissed your lips.
"Thank you so much, babe!" He smiled.
The two of you left to the embassy of Great Britain. Only to find Arthur's scowling mother there. She hated your guts, and wanted you practically dead. Since, she had hated the fact his son had a common girl as his girlfriend. Plus, Arthur was so in love with you that she hated it. It disgusted her.
"Mum," Arthur called, "Has the president arrived?"
"Why yes!" She said sarcastic as always, "And tell me, young man, where were you?"
"With ______." He said no emotion in his face or voice.
"Well is _______ the son of the prime minister?"
"No but-!"
"Then you should be here." She smiled. Arthur almost felt like putty when he heard that. He had always wanted to make his mom proud but only recently he began not to care, still the feelings were still lingering near.
"Mary, please let Arthur be." His dad came out, he absolutely adored you, "_______ will you be accompanying the two boys?"
"Yes, Mr. Kirkland!" You said, you really liked him and didn't want to disappoint him. So, you always used honorifics.
"Well, the president and his son are having tea out in the garden. I will send someone to go and get his son for you two." You smiled and curtsied in front of him. Arthur held out his hand and you held it since, you found yourself being a little nervous. Honestly meeting the son of the United States was a big deal.
Arthur and you were moved from the living room to the office of Arthur's dad. Even Arthur was quiet and you could feel him be a little nervous. Meeting him would be a big deal. His son was perfect! And helped his dad out with a lot with political ideas and movements, so you two had to make sure he enjoyed his time.
"Dude!" You heard a voice outside, "Is he going to take me to see some British chicks?!"
Arthur's dad opened the door to reveal a blonde haired boy wearing glasses, he was a little buff, and had the funniest strand of hair standing up. He looked at Arthur and smiled.
"Aw, dude!" Arthur got up to shake his hand, but the American gave him a bro-hug, "You going to go take me to see some chicks?! Or is she all for me?!"
"Um... No..." Arthur pushed the American away, "She's my girlfriend and will join us for the evening." Arthur said clearing his throat but the American quit paying attention to him and more towards you.
"Hey my name is Alfred!" He said extending his hand.
"Oh!" You felt your cheeks turn a bit warm, "It's a pleasure. My name is ______."
"Such a beautiful name!" Alfred smiled. You blushed when he shook your hand. He was cute but your Arthur was cuter.
"Well, where are we going to do British dude?" He asked taking out a chocolate bar.
"My name is Arthur Kirkland." Arthur said already annoyed, "I can take you to go see some tourist sights."
"Alright! Is she coming?!" he asked.
Arthur looked at you and held you close to him. You blushed and almost fell because Arthur was holding you rather tight.
"Of course. She should know more than me." Arthur said.
"Well come on sugar let's do this!" He said looking at you and only you.
Arthur growled as you two walked behind Alfred. He didn't like the fact the American was paying attention to you. You were Arthur's and he had worked a lot to get you to be with him and he wasn't about to lose to some American.
The three of you first went on the trolley. Alfred was a real treat. He tried to lose Arthur with you a few times, but you insisted on not making him mad. It would be a horrible sight. Then you three went shopping, where Alfred bought you dresses and clothing. Finally Alfred decided it was about time they ate. Arthur took all of you to a restaurant that sold hamburgers. You waited for Arthur to bring the food with Alfred. You had a coke with you a kept on hearing Alfred talk about how he has met so many celebrities.
"So how long have you been with the British guy?" He finally let you speak.
"Um... almost a year." You answered.
"Dang! My relationships don't last even a month." He said rather happy about it, "You think London girls are willing to date an American guy?" You finished slurping up your coke and nodded smiling. Alfred chuckled and you felt him brush your cheek. You starred at him wide eyed. His blue eyes gleaming with tender care.
"I have taken a fancy to you." He said imitating a British accent.
You shook your head and tried to pull away but it was too late. He kissed your lips and held the kiss there. You heard someone drop tray of food, Alfred pulled away and laughed. Suddenly, Arthur's fist went flying to Alfred's cheek.
"What he bloody hell do you think you're doing?!" Arthur said, moving towards Alfred. Alfred looked up at Arthur rubbing his cheek.
"You little piece of fuck!" He got up and looked at Arthur, people in the restaurant watching,
"I'm gonna return you the fucking favor!"
"Ha!" Arthur laughed, "I'd like to see you try, git!"
Alfred launched himself to Arthur his fist closed tightly. Arthur quickly dodged the attack and grabbed his fist twisting it around his back. Alfred groaned as Arthur laughed at Alfred's weakness. But Alfred wasn't done yet. He grabbed Arthur with his free hand and threw him down on the floor.
Everyone around you began to take out their phones and record the fight. You couldn't stop it; it was two great nations colliding in war! What could poor little you do?
Arthur was now dominant and punching Alfred. Alfred grabbed Arthur's hair, (dirty; but he picked it up from his friends from Mexico) and pulled as hard as he could. Arthur came crashing to the floor; Alfred got up and began kicking Arthur's gut. Arthur groaned at each swing to his belly. You quickly ran to his direction, but Arthur's body guards quickly came pushing people away. They took Alfred away by force and helped Arthur up. The paparazzi swooped in, in a flash and began to flash cameras at you, Alfred, and Arthur. But one of the body guards quickly came to take you away from the scene.
In the car it was silent. The body guards reported their mission was complete. Once they got to Arthur's home it got worse; you saw your dad's Ford Ranger parked outside. Your heart nearly stopped out of fear. Your dad wasn't a bad person, but you never told him Arthur was the son of the prime minister of Great Britain.
Arthur helped you out of the car, as Alfred rolled his eyes at his gentleman actions. Once the three of you were inside they sat you down on the coach in the middle of Alfred and Arthur. The three fathers came out looking pissed.
"Let me start, please." Alfred's father was about to start, "How did it happen?"
"He kissed my girlfriend!" Arthur said not waiting for Alfred to respond.
"She did it first!" Alfred said trying to get rid of the blame.
"You're mad!" You quickly reacted.
"Look, Al!" The president of the US seemed annoyed, "I know you better than anyone! I know you kissed this girl. But I won't tell you your punishment, your mother will decide."
Alfred's eyes widened, "Oh please pops no!"
"Thank you for taking care of my boy Artie." He smiled, shaking Arthur's hand; he looked at you, "And thank you for accompanying him." He wasn't being sarcastic his Thank you was sincere, "Thank you Prime Minister Kirkland." He said shaking Arthur's dad hand.
"But dad-!" Alfred no longer had what to argue. They left you and Arthur with your dad there.
"Well... Now that, that bloke is gone-!" Arthur sighed in relief.
"Not so fast! You two are in trouble." Arthur's dad said stopping Arthur.
"We decided that you two should end your relationship." Your father contributed.
"But Daddy-?!"
"I'm sorry honey. But, Arthur isn't the boy for you." Your dad said.
"But _______ is the girl for me!" Arthur said getting up, "Mr._______ if you'll let me I will take good care of ______-!"
"I'm sorry Arthur but no. Let's go ______."
Both you and Arthur were distraught what were you two to do? Arthur hugged you, Astraea filled you eyes he looked at you and kissed your trembling lips.
"I love you..." He whispered as you let one tear escape your eyes, "I will go for you." He ended. When you looked at him, a glossy shine was glazed over those green eyes. You couldn't help but cry.
You couldn't respond your throat was dry; you just couldn't find the words. Your father ripped you away from Arthur's arms and took you away to your own home you cried not talking to your father the whole trip back to your home.
A couple of days passed by and you went to school normally, everything was normal, except you didn't talk to your father anymore. You still held a grudge over the whole Arthur situation.
"Sweetie do you want to watch the rugby game with your old man?" He asked knocking on your door. You didn't answer and just ignored the question of your dad. He sighed and left, you felt bad but it was only just.
Your dad knocked many times on your door. Trying to offer many things to make you feel better but nothing could heal your broken heart.
You laid on your bed sobbing like you did every night. When you heard pebbles tap your window. You got up and stepped over to the window. You opened the old window, making it creek. You looked down and saw Arthur, his smiling face brought prosperity to your heart, the loving glare in his eyes made you tears stop, and his eyebrows brought laughter to your mouth.
"_____, _______!" He whispered, "Let down your latter, so you and I can run away together!"
"Arthur are you crazy?!" You smiled.
"If I am away from you any longer then I will definitely go insane, my love. Please you're the only thing that makes me feel ease. If you're not here I will surely commit murder and-!"
"Ok! Ok!" You hushed, "Just promise me... you'll never leave me."
"Come down to find out." He smirked.
You smiled and grabbed a few changes of clothing. You had a stash of money underneath your mattress and you quickly grabbed a backpack with your clothing stuffed and a few other things. Then you began to climb down your window.
"Jump." Arthur said once he saw you were close enough to do so, "I'm here love."
You closed your eyes and jumped to Arthur's awaiting arms. He caught you falling to the ground because of the heavy impact.
"Are you okay?!" You said looking at Arthur.
"Now that you're here." He smiled brushing a few strands of hair from your face. He kissed your lips; you missed his soft tender lips. He pulled away and chuckled.
"Let's go."
You giggled and left with Arthur. You trusted him and you loved him so it wouldn't be hard to go and live with him.
IDK! I will write later!

Linker problem: Using extern int as "global variable" in DLL
Asbjørn <asbjorn.berge@...>
Hi, Deeply sorry if this is a stupid newbie question I'm trying to build some DLLs from unix sources and the following construction causes the linker to complain: In the DLL sources, an error flag is defined throughout (i.e. in a common include file) as "extern int error;" which of course means that one should assume that this is "somebody elses problem", and the proper definition, initialization & co of the error flag is in the code that calls the dll. However - the linker complains that that this is an undefined reference and borks. Am I missing something here? If this is a simple RTFM, I'd be happy if someone could point me in the right direction... Is it as simple as a parameter? (--relax-a-little-will-you, maybe?) Thanks in advance for any tips!

Child labour a big problem in Yemen
The latest report released by the International Labor Organization, says there are 1.5 million children currently working in Yemen.
The report also highlights that 21 percent of Yemen's 7.7 million children have at one point in time worked in the labor market.
The agriculture sector was the worst offender for child labor, comprising a little over 56 percent of the industry's workforce. The household services sector comes in second at 29 percent.
Mona Salem, the Director of the Child Labor Unit at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, told the Yemen Times that the government aims to put an end to child labor. The Ministry says it is currently working on investigating institutions where children are being used.
She stressed the importance of increasing cooperation between the Education Ministry, Media Ministry, Agriculture Ministry and Fishery Ministry through a committee headed by Amat Alrazaq Homad, the Minister of Social Affairs. She said the committee must work in collaboration with the International Labor Organization in order to reduce the number of working children.
Talking about the statistics in the report, she said it's possible the number is significantly larger. Many child labor issues go unreported and 2011 led to an undocumented increase in child labor as many workers were laid off, forcing children to seek alternative sources of income.
