For a film to be presented in Cinerama, the studio had to sign and pay a surcharge to do so. The D-150 system had the same surcharge for presentations. And my messages just started up again like everyone else in the last few days.
Opps I forgot to add an interesting note.for about a month now I have not received any messages in my inbox that theaters in Manhattan that I am on the list for have received new comments. these notes on Cheyenne Autumn being an example. I only realized they were posted because I looked this page up.
to Peter A.–
thanks for the info. one's memory does play tricks
on you and I guess this is an instance. I don't
know why I thought this. its just i swear I can
remember seeing an ad in a NYC newspaper at the time of its opening. oh,well.
"Cheyenne Autumn" New York Times premiere ad posted in photos. No mention, including The Times review mentions Cinerama, only Super Panavsion 70.
No mention of Cinerama in either LA or NY engagements:
I don't think so. It was filmed in SuperPanavision 70 and tech credits around the Internet say that it only had regular 70mm prints. Why do you think it was billed as a Cinerama presentation?
i hope my fellow fans of the late but great Loew's Capitol/Cinerama can answer a question. John Ford's "Cheyenne Autumn" opened the fall of 1964 on a reserved seat engagement. this is where my question comes in. i wouldn't bet my next paycheck but i am 99% certain that the film was one of the 10 or so single lens Cinerama films. now i can find no newspaper ads or copies of the mail order form and like stuff online to bolster my claim. so was "Cheyenne Autumn" one of the 10 or so films presented "in Cinerama" or not? again i'm 99% certain it was.
bigjoe59, the film was not the whole show. A fourth week was rare at the Capitol in the early thirties.
Upload 1935 "Escapade" MGM promo ad.
a question for my fellow fans of the late but great Capitol. nowadays big films will open on 2 to 3 thousand screens on the same day. now in Manhattan every so often one of these big films will stay at a theater or two for quite some time. which brings me to my question. in the photo section is an ad for "Mata Hari" that states at the top "held over for 3rd and final week". to which did films at the Capitol during this period never play for all that long no matter how much of a hit they were?
Uplaoad Pic of 1935 "A Tale Of Two Cities" in Photo Section.
That rave review makes me want to see the movie again, even though I just saw it a few months ago in its 3-D incarnation.
To quote form the review "…the comicalest of all is Bert Lahr with an artistically curled mane, a threshing tail, and a timid heart. As he mourns in one of his ballads, his Lion hasn't the prowess of a mow-ess; he can't sleep for brooding; he can't even count sheep because he's scared of sheep. And what he wants is courage to make him king of the forest so that even being afraid of a rhinocerus would be imposerus. Mr. Lahr's lion is fion."
I think Bill's comment is accurate.
MGM agreed the results were less than expected and early tracking showed a lack of adult interest. "PINOCCHIO" did twice the business.
According to a book called "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 75th Anniversary Companion", the movie did above average box office business in 1939, but failed to break even due to its exorbitant production costs. The same thing happened to "Cleopatra", the top box office attraction of 1963 but forever branded a flop. "Oz" did recoup its costs and start to show a profit ten years later, due to a very successful nationwide rerelease in 1949. MGM promoted it as the "most requested" of its hits from years past.
The internets are your friend.
Hello Again-
I am now more confused than ever. I have read on more than one occasion that The Wizard of Oz which opened at this theater never really ignited the box office even after MGM tried various catchy ad campaigns and its books only entered the black when it was sold to t.v.. Al A.'s reply seems to confirm this. yet Mike's post makes it seem like it was a big box office hit. so which is the case?
Pic upload 1936 Ad "Born To Dance" starring Eleanor Powell & James Stewart. See Photo Section.
Since it was barely released in 1939 and had most of its runs in 1940, it came in fourth place behind "PINOCCHIO" and "BOOM TOWN".
The story of the Wizard of Oz' difficulties at the box office upon its initial release is a bit apocryphal.
It was the second most popular movie of 1939 (after Gone with the Wind) and the third most popular movie of the entire 1930s (after GWTW and Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs) according to more than one internet source.
A good read on the creation and history of The Wizard of Oz can be found in Aljean Harmetz' The Making of the Wizard of Oz, which is still available in many local libraries.
Hello to AL A.–
as always I thank you for your font of knowledge. so if I understand your reply correctly the story I related in my question is more or less true?
"WIZARD" had a hard time attracting adults the first time around. It was only a big hit in NYC and that was mostly because Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney were added in person to help fill the house.
since The Wizard of Oz debuted at this theater a question. we all assume the film was a big box office hit when it opened Sept. of 1939 I believe. but I have read more than once that while it wasn't a flop per se it never really ignited the box office to any great extent. in fact since this was the time when the studios still controlled the theaters MGM tried to jump start the film with ingenious ad campaigns but the public never really bit. to which the film only became this beloved classic after it started airing on t.v. in 1954? is this true?
I believe today was the day "2001" opened to the general public, after the press screening and premiere, 46 years ago.
Good thing the plaque was wrong about that, BigJoe. The only time I was ever in the Capitol was June 1968.
a bit of info fellow Capitol Theater devotees will find interesting. the Loew's Lincoln Square has each of the auditoriums named after a famed Loew's movie palace. to the right of the entrance to each auditorium is a plaque with info about the honored theater. the plaque for the Capitol states the theater was torn down at the end of 1967. I've mentioned it to management several times but they don't seem to care about the incorrect info.

Grakk curses to himself for not thinking of that in the first place. He then channels his anger into more productive uses as he prepares for what mystery awaits them from behind the door.
sorry for all of the posts...I have a bit of free time right now. Back to work on Monday though. I'll be sure to level off the posting once I'm back to work...well...I'll try to limit the posting to once a day...how about twice a day

Magnus paced back and forth agitatedly, mumbling to himself while the others worked on the door.
Nothing much to add at this point, just posting to be active.

Both Vixo and Kamotz hear chanting coming from the other side of the door. It's tempo seems to match that of the pulsing runes, and as they listen for a moment it begins to pick up, building toward some sort of crescendo. The door itself appears to be unlocked, but is definitely barred/blockaded from the other side.
As Grakk and the others stand nearby watching them work with the door, they notice that the pulsing of the runes has increased and a light of similar colour is spilling out around the seams of the door, flashing and flickering intermittently.
PostingNever apologise for being extra active :P We all have those days. Unfortunately my default setting is currently equipped with Dial-Up internet so I am sometimes limited to minimal posting.

"We need to get in there before they finish. C'mon, Grakk, let's get this door open! Put your shoulder into it!"
With that, Vrrsk't sets himself to kick the door as Grakk charges into it. Unfortunately, Vrrsk't mis-judges the size of the goliath and doesn't give him enough room to plow into the door cleanly. Grakk inadvertently knocks into the dragonborn on his way to the door and Vrrsk't misses the door completely.
Strength check to Aid Another (Grakk) on getting the door open:
yeahhh... so, 9 isn't quite 10... :/
Sorry to assume Grakk's action... if you don't try to bash the door down, I'll retcon my post to make it make sense.

No problem at all. Let's get this encounter started!
Grakk, lifts himself off the dragonboran and then lends him a hand to get up as well. "Let's try this one more time". With a mighty push...
grakk: Strength check 1d20 (bashing in the door) = 9
"Uuuuuggghhhh!" Grakk hits the door with a thud but the door still holds. Pausing for a second to gain his wits, he states: "Well, there goes the element of surprise. I don't know what they have on the otherside of that door. But whatever it is, I can't seem to budge it." Obviously upset, he kicks the ground in frustration.
He then chuckles and states to the palidan: "Vrrsk't, I'd be extremely embarrassed if one of the others opened the door while we could not. I don't think we'd ever live that one down."
He then steps asside to give the others a try.

Magnus suddenly stopped his pacing and looked up at the immense door that blocked their path.
Break the door...smash the ward...cross the threshold...
He moved to the door as he spoke. Putting his hand on it he felt of its surface. With one blunt rough finger he traced a spiraling mark on the door, leaving a shimmering trail in its wake. Magnus considered his handiwork for a moment then stepped back. As he faced the door he brought his staff down so that the butt hit the ground with a resounding blow, setting all the keys jingling on it. The metallic ring of the keys grew into a horribly cacophonous, minding bending noise that rolled over the door and caused the air to shudder.
Things man was not meant to know
Prestidigitation on the mark on the door for a a little flair
Cast Thunderwave (Push 3) on the door a couple of times, if it can shove a gargantuan back a few paces maybe it can push the door open wide enough for us to slip through.
Here's a couple rolls if you need them.
Thunderwave: Int vs Fort (1d20+5=16)

Grakk is stunned. His jaw wide open as he stares at the wizard as he works his magic on the door. To Vrrsk't: "If he opens that door, I'll never underestimate the power of wizards again." He then draws his sword and steps into a battlestance as he prepares to charge into the room.

Watching the Pack in action and, chuckling at the comedy in the catacombs, Kamotz watches, and walks away, as the wizard attempts to force open the doors. Magnus finishes chanting, and as quick as a scared skunk, Kamotz rushes the door, thinking back to when he did the same to a portal...
Jumping at the last moment Kamotz extends his feet toward the door along with the butt of his scythe. Landing and immediately taking in the area for a faster way in, not realizing the door may already be open...

As Magnus sends several booming walls of force slamming into the door it jumps back several feet with the first attempt, and then flies open banging against the wall with a resounding crash and swinging back just in time for Kamotz to catch it with his flying kick.
Almost the same instant as Kamotz lands, a brilliant flash of purple, bruise colored radiance explodes from inside the room blinding you all momentarily. When the spots clear from your vision you can take in the whole room.
The sheer size of the crypt is mind boggling. From the doorway it stretches back nearly 200 feet, and is nearly as wide from side to side. From the doorway pairs of cracked pillars line a promenade across the floor toward a massive marble staircase which rises 10 feet to an altar. The altar itself is a strange white marble veined with a jet black stone you do not recognize and bears the typical accoutrements of Lauto's church.
Resting in midair above the altar, and now emitting a sickly violet hued radiance is the scepter. The glow is slowly expanding, already pushing against the walls. Scattered around the room you see 16 ornate sarcophugi, 2 larger sarcophugi at the far end of the room, as well as hundreds of smaller burial shelves built into the raised platforms that box in the pillared walkway.
Standing at the foot of the stairs, back turned, is what can only be Slardazial. Contrary to his derisive nickname he strikes a rather imposing figure. Standing nigh on 6'5 and of obvious Orcish lineage, Slardazial has two prominent tusks protruding from his mouth. He seems to be addressing the two largest sarcophugi at the far end of the crypt.
You will all cower in his presence. When the dead walk again they will pave his way in the blood of the living. Zal'Ekthees will return and I will be his exarch upon this plane! With legions of faithful undead, no more shall I weather the prattling of useless sycophants who besmirch me simply because of my lineage.
"Slardy do those tusks do anything other then attract female boars?" or "Hey Barf-fast why don't you get out of here before you scare the children!" We'll see how those useless excuses for priests feel when they're blood is the nectar served at my table.
Suddenly noticing the bang of the door, Slardazial turns to face you. His eyes lock on Kamotz with an almost feral joy. He flexes his fists, one hand grasping a wand carved of a strange red material that seems to undulate in his hand.
Belingras sent you?! He's too late that doddering old fool! I've already completed the ritual and its just a matter of time now before the wards in this entire district are corrupted!! But since he was so gracious to send you my way perhaps I'll show you the earliest fruits of my Labor!
Hands raised above his head, violet energy shimmers along the length of the scepter and shoots to slardy's hands before slamming into the small burial shelves lining the walls and staggering you all. As the energy pours out of the scepter the spreading radiance shrinks noticeably before resuming its steady creep outward. As the rest of the party jumbles into the room, 3 of the bodies rise from there shelves along with what appear to be three large preserved dogs and 2 spirits.
Blood has not been spilt on Daunton in his name since before the exile. This is a great honour for you! hahahaha.
Slardazial degenerates into fitful laughter, his teeth and tusks grinding together and cutting his lips creating a crimsom foam around the corners of his mouth.
MapOn the map the blue circle represents Kamotz. The rest of you should indicate which color you are. Forgive my crude map, if you could just give me your movements in N/S & E/W that would be great.
The 3 Teal squares represent the dogs, the 2 Sickly yellow squares are fleshy corpses with claws, the 2 green squares are spirits, the brown square is a bloated corpse that has begun to ooze viscuous fluids and regenerate much of its flesh since being animated, and last but not least the red square with X is Slardazial.

Ok here it goes.. I have been purchasing from shopgoodwill off and on for about a year now. I was at first excited to see the items and how cheap you can purchase them for. Until I got the bill for shipping that is! I also want to warn other consumers who might get excited and overbid.. be VERY CAREFUL.. the items are not always what you expect them to be. The quality is sometimes over stated by the lister. Now they give pretty decent pictures so it's really up to the bidder and I over time am finding less and less items worthy of bidding on. I have learned from severaly things I have won and received which I had a severe case of buyers remorse for. Don't get caught up in the bidding wars. ALWAYS ALWAYS double check the same item against ebay or other internet sites to make sure you are actually getting a good deal. Often times I found that shopgoodwill end price actually ends up higher then anywhere else online. Now since this is voluntary bidding I do not fault shopgoodwill for this one bit. This is just irresponsible bidders going crazy over one specific item not bothering to check if they are over paying or not. However, I would like to just flag this as a warning for new and unsuspecting bidders on shopgoodwill as I wish I learned this lesson sooner then later.
Now I want to give a real life example of how there shipping policies are out right fraudulant. It does state on the listing what their shipping is so be careful when you bid. However, just because they put an inflated shipping cost on the listing why does it make it okay for them to say shipping costs so much when that's not what they actually pay for. Also does it not make good business sense to just be honest about the shipping costs up front? Why is everything weighed at a minimum of 1lb when the actual weight might be in ounces? It's like the management there came up with some silly standard for shipping without actually caring about the impact to consumers. I think most internet auction sites are careful about misleading consumers, why is shopgoodill excluded? Also why do they as a company not come up with some sort of shipping and handling policies that have to be adheared to across the bored. My complaint is this...your shipping prices are exhaggerated and it's obviously an issue with many consumers. You can see by all of the other complaints on this website. Why as a non-profit organization have you not made any attempts to make this process better. Are you ignorning the complaints because frankly you get enough customers you don't care about the few naysayers?? I just don't think this makes long term business sense and I do believe you are leaving yourself open for litigation in the future. Is it you don't have the technology to support shipping options? Is your staff so under-educated you cannot expect them to actually weigh an item while taking a picture of it to get actual weights including shipping material? Are you hedged in with a bad deal using only UPS as a shipping vendor? USPS is the most commonly used shipping method of any seller online. I do not understand why you would not want to make your items more cost effective for the consumer. I don't even care about he over priced beginning prices.. I think consumers are picking up on those as well and finally stopped placing bids. I am happy to see these items go with ZERO BIDS over and over. I am hoping your listers are getting the message and also I hope bidders are finally wising up to your downfalls.
Here specifically is an example.... I purchase a ring, ONE RING, from your site.
Winning Bid was $12.00 - great deal it's real silver and has a natural stone as well!! very excited..
Now here is where it gets dissapointing..
Handling fee is $3.00.. okay this is a bit high but if we are talking about shipping material time to package etc.. fine. Total so far is only $15.00.
But guess what total shipping REALLY IS..$13.30!!! So I am paying $10.30 to ship something that weights AT MOST 10 oz from Oregon to Phoenix.
Not only is this BAD BUSINESS..it's HIGHWAY ROBBERY. And I have to ask... is this INTENTIONAL? Does your business practice not include ETHICAL DECISION MAKING? Or do you just NOT CARE? I ask because it looks like complaints have been filed going back since 2010 and I am not seeing any better shipping policies today. I can understand needing time to get up to speed with the complains, make policy and procedure changes etc... but 3 full years!?? You are obviously not addressing the issue and I think it's bad business and a bad look for the company of Goodwill which I do believe does good work for the community. It's like your helping on one end but screwing over unsuspecing consumers on the other.
Also can somebody please let me know what I can do other then posting on this website which is obviously making zero difference to the ecommerce department of goodwill. I agree it's high time for a class action lawsuit. Just because they post an over inflatted shipping and handling charge...how does that make it ETHICAL when on the back end they are recouping extra profits from the sales of these items. How is this even reported properly to the IRS? Are the shipping costs to run your business also inflated on your Federal filings? If so you are going to be in worse water with the Federal government once they catch wind of your fraudulant practices!
Goodluck an I pray the true GoodWill of Goodwill will one day show it's face again. Until then BUYER BEWARE!

I Actually Work for SGW and You Are Mistaken
AUTHOR: sweetsarahbelle - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 30, 2013POSTED: Monday, December 30, 2013
I have addressed your issues with the SGW website at length in two other rebuttals... You can find them here ripoffreport.com/r/Shopgoodwillcom/Internet/Shopgoodwillcom-Shopgoodwillcom-cant-take-it-They-pulled-the-plug-on-criticism-Inter-670915
and here ripoffreport.com/r/Shopgoodwillcom/Internet/Shopgoodwillcom-Various-Shipping-weights-Internet-752108
I am not trying to say that you and other customers haven't been charged an amount they found unreasonable on their purchases from shopgoodwill.com. I HATED when we used UPS as a shipping carrier because they charged an unbelievable amount to ship tiny items like jewelry and were not careful with our large and fragile packages. We can not control what the vendor charges us. Please read the rebuttals above and consider the points made therein. Ultimately, we canceled our relationship with UPS in order to offer lower cost shipping items. Not all locations have made this transition. Individual locations have their own policies and it is totally unfair to judge all the locations based on the bad policies of one. I am very proud of the way my department conducts business and the ethical way we handle customer relations. There may be sellers at other locations who are not as proud about the way they treat customers. I feel that your statements about the website are overgeneralizing and therefore unfounded. It would be like saying that eBay is a fraudulent website if you had a bad buying experience on eBay. There are sellers around the world selling on eBay, some ethically and some not. In the same way, different Goodwill locations use the SGW website to sell items and each operates independently from the others. Does that make sense?
Thanks for reading!

Secondly, I think my major issue (and underlying point) is that they KNOW people are upset about this and no they don't HAVE to listen or change anything. However the fact that they act as if they don't care and refuse to offer shipping options on their listings proves they have something to gain on their end and most likely it's EXTRA INCOME THAT THEY ARE NOT REPORTING TO THE IRS... SO YES THAT'S AN ISSUE. BECAUSE I KNOW THEY ARE NOT PURCHASING THE EXACT SHIPPING WE PAY FOR. THEY GO IN AND PURCHASE THE CHEAPEST OPTION BUT CHARGE US FOR THE HIGHTEST. As you say technically it's NOT INCOME, but IT'S STILL WRONG AND UNETHICAL. Of course they don't report the extran $$ as INCOME as they would have to PAY MORE TAXES ON IT.
It is wrong and if they cared about making their consumers happy and being an ETHICAL online business they would care about these faulty shipping practices and our complaints and do something to make it better, easier, and more easy for people to understand. It's been 3 years now, where's their accountability as a company. They don't have to have it NO, but that doesnt make it RIGHT. And I choose to put their company on notice so other consumers who check here first can think twice about using this companies services. Because although it's SHOPGOODWILLS right to screw everyone out of a few extra dollars it's also MY RIGHT TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT THAT WILL LISTEN.

#3 Consumer Comment
shipping Rates
AUTHOR: Dave - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 12, 2013POSTED: Saturday, January 12, 2013
Many companies use carriers such as UPS or FedEx to ship packages. The handling fee is something Goodwill could control but the shipping charges are set by the carrier. If you check the UPS web site and put in a 1 lbs package (minimum weight) from Phoenix to Portland by ground the shipping charge is $13.19. If Goodwill was to do anything maybe they could look ito using a less expensive carrier or provide some additional shipping options.
To address your statement:
Just because they post an over inflatted shipping and handling charge...how does that make it ETHICAL when on the back end they are recouping extra profits from the sales of these items. How is this even reported properly to the IRS? Are the shipping costs to run your business also inflated on your Federal filings?
This statement is wrong in a few ways. First other than some profit made on the sale of the item Goodwill would make the 3.00 handling fee. The shipping charges are paid to the shipper NOT to Goodwill accusing Goodwill of recouping extra profits is incorrect. Goodwill does not need to report any of the shipping charges to the IRS as it is not income to them but a charge paid to the shipper by you.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Basic Krewe Information
What is Krewe?
The word "Krewe" is a generic term used to describe any carnival organization or club. The word was coined by the oldest such organization in New Orleans, the Mystic Krewe of Comus, who in 1857 believed that the word gave the club's name an "olde-English" flavor. Here in St. Louis, the Soulard Mardi Gras Grand Parade is make up of many Krewes. Each float or marching group represents the efforts of an individual Krewe.
Who can have a Krewe?
You and your friends! With some effort and creativity, you and your friends can be the object of desire of hundreds of thousands of screaming revelers. What a rush!
Steps to follow to form a Krewe
- If you are going to enter a float, you will need to secure your hardware. Decide on the trailer that will be your float and tow vehicle. We also have room in the parade for a number of walking/marching Krewes. Selecting your entry type and equipment will help you decide how many people to involve and what the parade entry fee will be.
- The purpose of the parade is to entertain the crowd. To encourage creativity, there are substantial prizes for the best floats. The judges are looking for creativity, three dimensional design, adherence to theme, and so forth.
- Follow the construction guidelines for safety and reliability compliance.
- Stock up on beads!

The new generation of Super 2000 touring cars will look more spectacular, with bigger aerodynamic devices, and will have greater performance through the power-to-weight ratio.
In order to ease the introduction of the new cars, the homologation procedure will be similar to the 2014 FIA World Rally Championship, but with an additional two jokers.
2013 cars will also be accepted in 2014.
The Council also stamped the amendment of the 2013 calendar, with Argentina replacing Brazil - subject to the confirmation of the Termas de Río Hondo circuit homologation.

Very nice and competent staff. Would recommend them.
Very friendly couple. Excellent check in services of equipment. Offered phamplet information of local businesses. Mentioned moving expenses may be tax deductible and noted that on returned paperwork.
Be honest about the mileage the vehicle gets. Website stated 10 MPG when it was more like 4 - 5 mpg. The only way to get the 10 mpg would be on a flat surface (which the US is not flat) and drive at about 35 MPH in which case it would have taken me three days to go the 1100 miles. I was anticipating stopping about every 6 hours instead I had to stop about every 3 -4 hours.
Hello for your benefit I believe I had fallen into some form of false advertisement. The gentleman inform me that the price on the picture was not the price I would pay as the vehicle was not going to return back to its original location 67th Avenue and Bell Glendale Arizona. My lease was to move me from Peoria Arizona to Apache Junction Arizona. I believe I was charged excessive amount for the use. I believe your science need to say for this amount to be valid it must be returned to the same location. You're joining customers under false pretenses people go in expecting to pay what's on the sign. In the signs don't say return to same location. I consider that false advertisement. Drawing customers under false pretenses. That was the only thing that was disappointing. It was too expensive. I had a family emergency why I moved to Apache Junction I approve of myself because of my need in my family. I know this has nothing to do with you but now I'm having to start all over and now I have to find a job. Thank you for listening and I hope you can do something about the pricing as I said before I considered it false advertisement. Pretenses of getting customers.
Nothing. Excellent experience.

hey everyone
Hey, i just joined recently and have been looking through the massive amounts of info on the site. I been athletic all my life until i had shoulder surgery the middle of last year so I workin my way back into it. I've always had a good diet and have been taking protein post workout since i started lifting.
The reason why i actually joined is aorund that premise though. I've been trying to find a good pre/post workout meal bit and I've been running into a wall. I'm trying to get in shape for football so I don't need to look huge, but i do want to see if there's anything out there that can help in the all around nutrition sense. I have been reading up on citrulline malate and seems to be a good thing for athletes and might start on it, but once i started actually looking into products I hit a wall. There are so many products out there that I don't even know what to do with myself haha. I want to try to stay off creatine if at all possible or anything else that might create a dependency.
So basically summed up if you don't like reading like me. I'm looking for any suggestions on pre/post workout supp. that will help with an athletic physique and performance (football).
so if anyone could help that would be great!!! And I know nothing works immediatly so don't think i want that magic pill, i just want something that can help out.

As far as supplements go, first make sure your diet is in order. Even if you think your diet is good, it may be not be. Maybe you should post your diet (more specifically the macro breakdowns, protein fat and carbs)
Don't try and get fancy with supplements. A good whey pre and post combined with malto/dextrose works wonders. Creatine is also a good supplement to consider. Stay away from the NO-Xplods and the Nitro-tech Superpump shit (basically most supplements you see in the muscle mags).
Lately I've been using the Six-Star brand of protein and creatine. It seems to be working very well and the price is decent. Plus it tastes pretty good.

I've actually been taking mhp up your mass. It's a meal supplement to help tot try and straighten out my diet. But i take that for breakfast a coldcut sandwich for lunch then sometime of meat with some bread and veges for dinner 90% of the time.
So, I have been taking the mhp stuff twice a day then taking just designer whey after i work out.
And I know malto/ dextrose are carbs, but what are the best way to get them? Something i just add to the shake? Or do I get enough during the day?
And by dependency, I don't mean without your useless, i just don't want what I've heard of is of almost access water in your muscles, then once I stop it just dissapears.
And, Citrulline Malate? I know its in some of those brand name products, but what about just by itself with the protein in a pre workout shake?

That "up your mass" stuff is a supplement, treat it as such. Plus, its 13 bucks for 7 servings and only about 10 grams of protein per scoop. Normal wheys are about 24 grams a scoop! A normal whey packed with cheap carbs would kick the shit out of this product, not to mention be easier on your wallet.
Your diet is definitely lacking. One of those "up your mass" shakes, a sandwich and some meat with bread and veggies is not going to do shit. That's barely one meal for me! Whats your height and weight? You should be consuming 1-2g of protein per pound of lean body mass and most of that should be coming from real food, not a tub of meal replacement powder. You wanna get strong and put on some muscle, then you gotta eat accordingly. A great man once said "Eat or stay the fuck out of the gym!", that advice fits nicely here
Malto and dextrose can be bought in bulk, cheaply, and added to you protein shakes pre and post.
Creatine is good because it helps with your muscular endurance during exercise. Its not like you're going to gain 2" all over and turn into the michelin tire fatass because you're taking it. To be honest I can't notice a difference other than on the scale.
I don't know much about citrulline malate so I won't give my advice on it. There is a sticky about it on the site though, read that and you should have a good idea of what to do.

The up your mass is more a vehicle for conventiently getting the low and medium GI carbs in. They take up a lot of room so you end up with huge servings and a noneconomical product. But the product does what it sets out to do. There is a difference between regular whey and cheap carbs and the MHP product. That difference is that a regular whey and cheap carbs in the form of malto has a very high GI. This product doesn't. So while it is not a very economical thing to do it is a much better "weight gainer" than the former (whey + malto and dex) which would be better for pre and post.
But I agree with Kane that you'll get more bang for your buck out of a good whey. You'd be much better off improving your diet and plus having a good pre and post plan, as he said.
Citrulline Malate can be bought in bulk powder form from Nutraplanet.com or bulknutrition.com. It would be better to have it along with creatine and I myself have only noticed the best results with CM when combining it also with higher doses of BCAA's (higher than my whey...which is high) around 7 grams. I don't think any of this is necessary. Whey plus carbs is the best investment for your money. I like to have a whey isolate for pre and post and a regular whey mix for any other time I might take some.

State Street Slam canceled
MONTPELIER The 2013 State Street Slam has been canceled, say its organizers, the Montpelier Recreation Department and Montpelier Alive. The event was scheduled for Aug. 4 but was pulled because of lower-than-expected registration numbers and a lack of confirmed sponsors.
We are very sorry that we have had to make this decision, said Jenny Bartlett, program coordinator for the Recreation Department. I still believe this event is possible for future summers, but we want to be sure any event with our name on it is done to its fullest potential.
Montpelier Alive echoed that sentiment.
Its unfortunate that we have to cancel this program, because we all love it, said Phayvanh Luekhamhan, executive director of Montpelier Alive.
Both organizations have set up a planning committee that will look for ways to improve the event for future years. Anyone interested in joining the committee should call Montpelier Alive at 223-9604. People looking for refunds from preregistration should call the Montpelier Recreation Department at 225-8699.

Hi Tom
Thanks for the time taken to develop the plugin. I have noticed that the plugin fails on my site after a number of backups. It seems to me that it is estimating the size of backups (40m) and when the value 400M of used space is reached the plugin stops working despite having gigs of space.
To get it working I delete the 0 byte files, re run, fails... delete a number of the larger backups which are at 63M each (ie about 5-6) and suddenly it works again.
Is there a log file I can check to verify if it thinks it is running out of space..?

Fun Fishbowls
I spotted this first fish bowl in a shop in London. I'm sorry to report that it's not yet sold in the US, but it's so quirky and cool, I had to show it to you! If you live in the UK or Europe you can buy it at Skitsch for 280 Euros.
I adore the fish condo by Teddy Luong—the best part is you can buy multiples and stack them so each of your fishy tenants has his own unit! Sold at Unica Home for $25.
Like the fish condo, the wall-hung fish pod is also great in multiples. Hang a few against a boldly painted wall for punch. At $19.85 per pod, they're a good deal, too! Available at Pet Gadgets.
The BiOrb aquarium from Petco got my attention because of its interesting design and the fact that it comes in 3 colors (white, red, and black). At $295, it's pretty pricy, but unlike the three options above, this is an actual aquarium incorporating lighting and filtration. For those of us who don't have a great track record taking care of fish, it might be worth the extra money….

Thursday June, 19, 2008
Aiken, SC--Day two of the Palmetto Amateur and one guy who appears destined to be in contention all weekend is Augusta State product Mitch Krywulycz . What a few weeks he's had.
The Junior from Australia is coming off a win at the Southeastern Amateur Championship and finds himself near the top of the lead after two rounds this week. Krywulycz nearing chipped in for birdie on 16, then just missed another on 17 as he shoots 73 today. His confidence is still sky high.
"I got a lot of good bounces last week and I tried to play with a smile on my face which is very rare for me" said Mitch Krywulycz. "It worked out so I think I'll just keep going with that attitude until something drastic happens and yea, the win was very big for my confidence."
Andrew Landry out of Texas is the second round leader. The tournament wraps up Saturday.

I haven't received it yet and noticed my credit card had been charged for over $2700 dollars. Although not ordered, they added a high capacity battery and charger. In addition when I called back, I asked how much was for shipping from NY to CT. They told me it was 6% of the order. While that part was my own fault for not asking when I ordered, the amount is absurd.
Adding something I didn't order, however, is absurd and a clear ripoff when I made it very very clear, I didn't want the plethora of accessories the salesman was promoting. Also, they did not offer the information that the price advertised was for a grey market camera and did not include the accessories that come with the USA version.
I plan on challenging the unordered part with my credit card company and returning the extra battery and charger (A battery and charger is included in the USA version according to Canon.)
Even had they not pulled this ripoff of adding something I didn't order, their ridiulously high shipping costs are enough to never use this company again.
