Andrew: Welcome to MuggleCast Episode 222! "Two-two-two-two-two-two-two" as I closed the show with last week. Micah, Eric, and I are here to bring you Harry Potter. We put Harry Potter in your ears and also include a little additive, so you come back next time, so you get addicted and you want more.
Eric: The additive is sprinkled on.
Andrew: Yes.
Eric: Sprinkled on top.
Andrew: Seductively.
[Eric laughs]
Andrew: And sexually.
Eric: [laughs] Andrew, we have to cook together. This is... [laughs]
Andrew: Why?
Eric: It's going to be like - we could do, like, a cooking show.
Andrew: Oh.
Eric: You can sprinkle things seductively and I'll, I don't know, provide entertainment.
Micah: This show is going in the wrong direction to start off.
[Micah and Eric laugh]
Andrew: We'll use the recipes found in MuggleNet.com's cooking section - Madam Rosmerta's.
Eric: Hell yeah.
Micah: Keith Hawk.
Eric: Heck yes.
Andrew: Yes, [laughs] our lead chef.
Andrew: I just pictured Keith in an apron and funny visual. So, [laughs] we have lots of news to talk about today and we're going to bring back some fun segments, people have missed these. We're going to do the Dueling Club and Make the Music Connection this week, and we're also going to remove a chapter from Chapter-by-Chapter because when we do three chapters we just run out of time for other things. So, we're doing two chapters this week, two fun segments, news, e-mails, "two-two-two-two-two"s for Episode 222.
Andrew: But Micah, you do not have just two news items for us, you have many more, so tell us what's in the news this week. Give it to me!
Micah: [laughs] We don't say our names anymore?
Andrew: Oh. [laughs] I'm Andrew Sims.
Eric: [laughs] I'm Eric Scull.
Micah: And I'm Micah Tannenbaum.
Andrew: Give it to me!
Micah: All right.
[Andrew and Eric laugh]
Micah: First news story, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London finally announced The Making of Harry Potter will open in the spring of 2012. We talked about this, it's been rumored, but now Warner Bros. finally puts out a press release on this and as expected - I think the initial report was Easter 2012. Wasn't it something like that? So, now spring...
Andrew: Spring...
Micah: Spring 2012.
Andrew: Spring, I think.
Micah: So, right around the same time. And they put out some concept art to give people an idea of what this is actually going to look like, and it seems like it's pretty cool. It's going to do a lot, I think, for that particular economy there. A lot of people are going to go with the intent now to get up to Leavesden Studios to see this Making of Harry Potter and it seems pretty exciting. What do you guys think?
Andrew: Yeah. The opportunity here is tremendous. Eight films, of course, have been filmed at Leavesden Studios. All eight Harry Potter films have been shot at Leavesden Studios and now the fans are actually going to go to Leavesden Studios. By the way, this is a three-hour tour, they announced.
Eric: [singing] "A three-hour tour."
Andrew: I mean, that's - you're going to get your money's worth for this thing. I mean, three hours, I imagine they're going to take you - they're going to give you lots of time in the actual sets, Great Hall, Dumbledore's office, Gryffindor common room. What are some other ones they listed?
Micah: Well, what haven't they torn down [laughs] is the question. You said from...
Andrew: Yeah.
Micah: ...your reports that a lot of times these sets, which take an unbelievable amount of time to put together, are destroyed [laughs] in a matter of minutes.
Andrew: Right. They call it "striking" in the industry because they have to make room for the other sets to continue filming. I bet they're going to continue - I bet they're going to rebuild a few of the sets because they keep all the props and stuff, so I think they're going to rebuild some sets that they have a lot of props for and this is all going to be housed - they're actually moving the Great Hall which is tremendous. [laughs] They're going to pick up the Great Hall and move it to this new building - it's still on the Leavesden Studios property. But anyway - I mean, this is going to be fantastic and I think every Harry Potter fan is going to be dying to go to this...
Eric: Yeah.
Micah: Yeah.
Andrew: ...to actually be on the sets.
Micah: And how far is it from London?
Andrew: It's about a forty-five-minute bus ride, I would say, to an hour.
Eric: From the center of London, or from the airport?
Andrew: From the center of London, yeah. And - I mean, it's going to be well worth it. I imagine they're going to have hotel deals...
Micah: Oh, of course.
Andrew: ...so you could probably stay the night next door to Leavesden.
Micah: But the interesting thing that they do say is you have to book in advance, you have to go get your tickets online, which I thought was kind of interesting. You can't just go up the day of and request tickets.
Andrew: Well, the reason makes sense so that they can space out the amount of people visiting every day and make sure the groups are the right size. And plus - I mean, you're going to be planning ahead for this trip anyway. It's not like it's in London, so you visit London and then you're, like, "Oh, I guess I'm going to go." It's not like a pub, you're not going to just show up. You do have to plan some stuff because you need to take the drive up there.
Micah: So, it's like an afternoon type of deal, probably.
Andrew: Yeah, yeah, so three hour - yeah, so I would say the whole thing, the whole process would take you five or six hours.
Micah: Since you've been there many times, Andrew, how big is Leavesden Studios? We've talked about...
Andrew: It's huge.
Andrew: It's - yeah.
Micah: Golf carts, right?
Andrew: I mean, it used to be an airport hangar.
Micah: People need golf carts to get around.
Andrew: Yeah, I remember David Heyman, all the crew, they all have their own bikes so they can bike around the set to get around faster. If they are not taking a golf cart and they're not walking, they'll take their bike. So, really, [laughs] this is going to be so amazing, I cannot wait for all the fans to experience this. So, we'll have a link up on MuggleNet when tickets do become available, which should be later this year.
Eric: Yeah, this news post says that it's 200 acres upon which they're building the new Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, so that's a lot of space.
Micah: Yes, it is. Speaking of Warner Bros., the New York Post reported earlier this week that Warner Bros. made a deal with the Hirschfeld Theatre where Daniel Radcliffe is going to be starring in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, which would allow Dan to take time off to promote Deathly Hallows: Part 2. And the report stated there would be five dark days, meaning no performances, but now the official How To Succeed Twitter account - there's a Twitter account for that already? - has revealed that just three previously-scheduled performances will go dark. So - when I saw this story, though, I was kind of surprised that Warner Bros. would even have to do this because I'm assuming there is something in his contract that states that he has to be made available for a certain period of time for Deathly Hallows promotion.
Andrew: Yeah, you would have thought they worked this out beforehand, but - he needs to be there for the final film to be promoting and so he's only going to be missing three days of performances, plus they take off every Monday so he could be doing promotional stuff then. I'm kind of surprised by that, I thought he would need at least a full week - I mean, because there's going to be promotions all over the world, and they usually do something in Tokyo and Dan has appeared at that in the past. Of course, there's going to be something in the United States, there's going to be something in London. So...
Micah: Well, if it's in New York - I mean, that's a little bit easier for him to manage, I think, because that's where he is right now.
Andrew: Yeah, true.
Micah: But...
Andrew: Plus the press junket. I mean, it's a lot.
Micah: It's going to be a lot because, let's face it, they are going to really, really blow this thing out here because it's the last film. But kind of surprising that...
Andrew: A little "inside baseball" information...
Micah: Yeah, exactly. But speaking of making a big deal about the final film, Warner Bros...
[Andrew laughs]
Micah: These transitions are unbelievable with these first three stories! Warner Bros. is...
Andrew: Woo!
Micah: They've been having a busy week or two weeks here. They have announced that the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 world premiere is going to be July 7th, it's going to take place in both Trafalgar and Leicester Square in London, and it's going to be "the most spectacular one yet."
Andrew: Whoa!
Micah: But they don't really tell you what's going to be [laughs] so spectacular about it.
Micah: A little tease!
Andrew: There's going to be rain like never before!
Micah: Yeah, that too.
Andrew: I think the most interesting...
Micah: But what could they possibly do?
Andrew: ...part about this is that they announced it so early. I mean, we have never heard about a premiere this early.
Eric: Yeah, you were going on about that before. Why do you think it is that they did that?
Andrew: I guess they want a lot of pre-premiere hype. Yeah, I don't know what else it could be, and I doubt we are going to hear many details until, like, a month beforehand. So, for the next couple of months we're all going to be wondering, like, "Okay, so what's going to be so spectacular?" [laughs]
Eric: But - so they actually said that, "most spectacular yet"?
Eric: Wow.
Andrew: Actually, I have to say something here about these premieres. They are exciting but dear listeners, do not be fooled by these promises. I hate to say it, I think most people who go to these premieres are let down. Most recently the New York City premiere, none of the stars even went and met with the fans who were waiting in line all day with the exception being Tom Felton. Apparently they couldn't shut the street down so they didn't want to put the actors out on the street. And I'm sure the fans will be meeting people in London, but there is going to be a ton of people there, so unless you want to see the stars, don't get really excited.
Andrew: Sorry. [laughs] If you're satisfied with just going and catching a glimpse of the stars, cool. But I wouldn't raise the bar any higher because you'll be disappointed.
Micah: Yeah. This has been Andrew's premiere disclaimer, basically what you just did. [laughs]
Andrew: I just don't want people to get their hopes up.
Micah: No, you're right. I remember for Deathly Hallows: Part 1 you and I were in New York, and it was really - from what the response was that we got, a lot of people e-mailed in saying that they were really disappointed with how the premiere was handled, the way that it was set up, the fans were across a street that wasn't even blocked off. And that was the biggest problem, that's primarily why I think you didn't have those actors and actresses going out to greet the fans was because the way that it was set up, they could get hit by a car.
[Eric and Micah laugh]
Micah: Tom Felton was the only one who was willing to risk his life.
Eric: They could all get arrested for jaywalking.
Andrew: And the red carpet was covered under a tent, so the fans couldn't even see the stars getting interviewed like usual. So, I just want the fans to know don't - if you're in the United States and you're thinking about going to London for this, I would think against it. It's not - I just don't want people to be disappointed. I care.
Eric: Awww.
Andrew: This is actually just my secret plan to make sure nobody attends the premiere so I can have the stars to myself without waiting in line.
Andrew: Nobody go! Nobody go! [laughs]
Eric: Cat's out of the bag now, Andrew.
Andrew: Before we continue, we'd like to remind everybody that this week's podcast is brought to you by Audible.com, the Internet's leading provider of audiobooks, with more than 75,000 downloadable titles across all types of literature and featuring audio versions of many New York Times bestsellers. For listeners of this podcast, Audible is offering a free audiobook to give you a chance to try out their service. One audiobook to consider is The King's Speech. It's based on a terrific true story, and as most people know, it was recently turned into a film and of course, won several Oscars at this year's ceremony. The cool part about the audiobook version is you'll even get to hear the real-life speech which the film is actually based on. So, for a free audiobook of your choice, go to AudiblePodcast.com/MuggleCast. Again, that's AudiblePodcast.com/MuggleCast.
Micah: Well, Deathly Hallows: Part 1 did not win at the Oscars over the weekend. The two categories that they were nominated in, I believe, Art Direction as well as Special Effects. They lost in one category to Alice in Wonderland, I believe that was in the Art Direction category, and then to Inception in Special Effects, which I don't think there's really any surprise there. But now the Harry Potter series has been nominated - five of the seven movies have been nominated multiple times for each, I believe, and they have walked away with nothing. So, again it starts to stir the pot a little bit, we've had this discussion before on the show. I know there's something else that you guys want to talk about with respect to what happened during the Oscars. But just really quickly, what are you guys' thoughts on them not winning yet again?
Andrew: Well, it's disappointing but there's other great films. I mean, who did they lose to? I think Inception was one of them.
Micah: Yeah. Well, I just said I think they lost...
Micah: ...in Art Direction to Alice in Wonderland.
Andrew: Oh, right.
Micah: They lost - Special Effects was to Inception, yeah.
Andrew: Yeah. I mean, and these other films are ground-breaking as well, so...
Eric: And I've said it before, the Harry Potter films - maybe I haven't said it before, the Harry Potter films are too blue. They are just too blue, they are too dark. The Half-Blood Prince DVD, I can't even watch, it's too visually dark. Not thematically or anything like that, but there's no color on the screen. So, I personally - really if it's compared to the costumes which Alice in Wonderland won for, it's zero comparison because there is far more color. I think the awards that Harry Potter has been nominated for were not the best awards to showcase the best parts of those films.
Micah: Right. Well, and it stayed away primarily from the acting. I mean, you've really seen no actors or actresses nominated for their roles, which - is that the point you're trying to make?
Eric: Well, there's that because especially with Deathly Hallows, we all felt that the acting was just taken up so many notches.
Andrew: And the other part of the story from the Academy Awards is that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 got auto-tuned!
Eric: Ugh.
Andrew: And it was so funny. Here, let's play...
Eric: No, please don't.
Andrew: No, let's play.
[Micah laughs]
Andrew: Here we go.
Eric: No...
Micah: I missed this.
Eric: ...please don't.
Eric: Please don't.
[Audio clip plays]
Andrew: [imitating audio clip] "You're my tiny ball of light."
Micah: That was really disturbing.
Micah: I didn't - I missed that part of the show but - wow.
Eric: You have to see the video. You have to see the video with...
Micah: I don't want to see the video.
Eric: Yeah, I don't either. But I did.
Andrew: The segment also went into clips from Toy Story, The Social Network, and Eclipse.
Eric: Okay.
Andrew: I mean, it was a surprise, I'll give it that. [laughs] Nobody knew it was coming. It was nice to see Harry Potter get a little attention at the Oscars, even if it wasn't the most brilliant spoof.
Eric: But they shared it with Twilight. They shared all the space with Twilight, that's like such an insult.
Andrew: Micah, what else is going on in the news?
Micah: I just want to bring up one more thing from the Oscars. When they were doing the award for "Special Effects," what they showed from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 [laughs] versus what they showed from the other movies I thought was really weak. I don't know who chooses what gets shown, but for example, they showed Nagini and how that all took effect with him slithering down the table. Why wouldn't you showcase the Seven Potters? Isn't that kind of the piece that you would look to promote if you were looking for an award like that?
Andrew: Mhm. That's true.
Eric: Yeah. I mean, it wasn't even, like, a real snake because I saw that, too, where they gradually show reality, and then with green screens and all that into the computer effects.
Eric: And they showed the snake slithering down the table, and the only thing that was edited was they made the image darker and more blue. [laughs]
Micah: Yeah, it didn't really represent, I think, the amount of effort that went into special effects in the film. I thought they could have chosen a better scene. But anyway, final bit of news here - and it actually came out now about a week and a half ago - that the features have been announced for the Order of the Phoenix and the Half-Blood Prince Ultimate Edition DVDs, and they're going to be released on June 14th, just in time - or a little bit before the release of Part 2. And I kind of looked these over, nothing really jumps out at me. Not to be a downer on these...
Eric: Again.
Micah: ...but...
Micah: But no, nothing really jumps out. Nothing says to me, "I want to go out and buy this."
Andrew: Well, the one cool thing on both of these is the new documentary. As we've talked about before, on each of these Ultimate Editions is one new piece of an eight-part documentary. And on the Order of the Phoenix one, there is something called "Evolution" - it's an hour long, by the way - and on the Half-Blood Prince edition there is the "Magical Effects". So, I guess "Evolution" is going to deal with the actors growing, maybe? I'm not sure.
Eric: Probably.
Andrew: Or just, like, the Harry Potter franchise growing.
Eric: Yeah, we thought that this would be the case, where they showed - because I mean, in each of these documentaries they show clips from all eight films, right? I mean, typically working on the first one being the score and stuff was easiest to show first because a lot of the scoring happened earlier in the series and now they're not reusing those themes but taking off. So, I feel like these documentaries - and I haven't seen them for the other extended editions. I want to, but I feel like they're the only bit of effort, the only scrap of effort that actually goes into these extended editions. And I feel so horrible about these extended editions, I have zero interest in ever purchasing them. I think they're a waste of discs.
Micah: Yeah. And part of...
Eric: There's too many and the features are just nil.
Micah: I agree with you, and part of the reason why I think that is is because so much of this stuff has already been released. Like, if you look for example on Half-Blood Prince, you have J.K. Rowling: A Year in the Life. People have already seen that. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter sneak peek, people have already seen that. And then even some of these things that I'm reading right now, it looks very similar to stuff that have been on past DVDs, like the Half-Blood Prince DVD I think had those Q&As, sort of those quick questions that the actors and actresses were being asked. So, it seems like a lot of this stuff is re-purposed. It doesn't seem like there's anything new or exciting about them.
Andrew: All right.
Micah: Well, guys, I just wanted to let you know one thing real quick. This is the real me, but you won't be hearing from me often, I'm afraid, as pen and paper are still my priority at the moment.
Eric: Pen and paper?
Andrew: Ha ha ha!
Eric: What are you writing? What are you writing, Micah? Is it poetry?
Micah: I'm writing a book, yeah. No, not poetry.
Eric: No?
Micah: No, I actually thought of writing a little book, see if I can make the New York Times Best-Seller List.
Eric: Ooh, like your cohorts. Like Ben and Emerson, right?
Micah: Yes. Yeah, I figured why not. They can do it, I can do it.
Eric: [laughs] Good for you.
Andrew: So...
Eric: Good luck with that.
Micah: But honestly, I mean, what the [censored] guys. Are you [censored] kidding me?
Micah: [laughs] This is [censored]. How many times...
Andrew: Micah.
Micah: ...are you going to repeat the same tweet over and over again?
Eric: Apparently four times, Micah. That seems to be about right. Four times, yes? Four times.
Micah: Yeah. Well, that's about right.
Eric: Four times J.K. Rowling has said, "Pen and paper are my priority."
Micah: And they're about six months apart.
Eric: And she did it - so she did it again, that's where all this is coming from, right?
Micah: So, August...
Andrew: But surely there is a message within these tweets?
Eric: Yeah, yeah, there is actually. I - [laughs] - so guys, during the past week, since our last episode of MuggleCast, I went and I pulled - I put some of J.K. Rowling's tweets, this "pen and paper are my priority" into an anagram database. And it turns out the phrase, "pen and paper are still my priority" turns out to be an anagram, "Impartially perspire on pedantry". Pedantry is the art of inappropriate learning, I believe, a devotion to learning that is [laughs] beyond reason.
Eric: So, I...
Andrew: So, repeat that again.
Eric: "Impartially..."
Andrew: What's the anagram? "Impartially..."
Eric: "Impartially perspire on pedantry." So, J.K. Rowling - maybe the idea - maybe the reason she's been tweeting the same thing four times is because we're supposed to get a clue.
Micah: Oh.
Eric: Maybe we're - maybe there's more to these tweets...
Micah: That she's...
Eric: ...than we think.
Micah: ...sweating on learning?
Andrew: Well, let's hire a research team who can pick apart every word possible in that anagram...
Eric: Well...
Andrew: ...and - surely there's a message there.
Eric: What I found to be interesting is that this most recent tweet she capitalized - all caps - "still" and she added that word, "still my priority". So, that's why I think that this anagram is superior.
Andrew: I think poor Jo just doesn't know what Twitter is about.
Andrew: I mean, it doesn't - the whole purpose of Twitter is that it doesn't take long to tweet. So, she could just be, like, "Hey guys, happy to have been at the -" what was she at? The BAFTAs. "Hey, I really touched by -" stuff like that, just...
Micah: Well, there's no reason - the thing is, everybody who follows her and is interested in what she's doing, they already know about what she said at the BAFTAs. So, it was kind of weird that she basically just tweeted and said nothing of any relevance whatsoever. Why even put that out there? So, like I was saying before, based on her time in between tweets she will tweet again sometime around August, early September.
Eric: Well, when she does...
Andrew: By the way, we put a poll on MuggleNet asking, "How many more times will J.K.R. tweet the same message before tweeting something new?" 23% said this is the last time, 41% said 1 to 3 more times, 11% said 4 to 6 more times, and 23% said 7 or more times.
Eric: God. Well, she's only on...
Andrew: We may be in this for a while.
Eric: She's only on tweet six, so that's why I suggested on the news post on MuggleNet, is tweet number seven going to be the tweet where she announces everything she's been doing lately...
Andrew: Ahhh.
Eric: ...in 140 characters or less and completely blows us out of the water? Lucky number seven! Isn't seven...
Andrew: Well...
Eric: ...the most magically powerful number, Andrew?
Andrew: I think for Micah's sake, the seventh tweet should definitely be a big one because Micah is very frustrated as we heard when he intro'd this item.
Micah: Look, here's the thing, if you're going to have a Twitter account - I understand you initially created it because people were pretending to be you. But let's put something relevant up there, let's stop doing this to the fans. I know you listen to the show, so I'm asking you on my behalf, for my sanity, for your fans' sanity, stop tweeting...
Andrew: [laughs] Their sanity?
Micah: Yeah, for their sanity because...
Andrew: Wow! So, are you insane right now? Will you not...
Micah: Yeah, I'm insane.
Andrew: ...become sane until...
Micah: Absolutely.
Andrew: ...she tweets something worthwhile?
Micah: Absolutely. She drives me crazy, Andrew.
Andrew: I think our newsman needs to be committed.
Eric: I think...
Micah: Yeah. Well, [laughs] you knew that a long time ago.
Andrew: Okay. Well, that's...
Micah: All right, let's get off this before I go off on another rant here.
Andrew: So, that's it for news this week. We want to remind everybody before we move into our Dueling Club segment that we will be at LeakyCon 2011. Just visit LeakyCon.com to get details. We will be doing a couple of podcasts there, and it's going to be so much fun. There's going to be a dance, there's going to be a private party in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park. All of the biggest Harry Potter fans, together, are going to be going to see the movie, Part 2, midnight release, at LeakyCon. It's just going to be fantastic. You've heard us talk about it before. When you go to LeakyCon.com, you'll want to check out all the details. They still have many more to announce, too, that's the most exciting thing. And when you go to register just use referral code "Muggle" and that way, we will get a better tally of how many MuggleCast fans will be there. And we can't wait, really. I mean, this is going to be...
Micah: Are we doing a podcast?
Andrew: Yeah, that's what I said.
Andrew: I think the exciting thing about doing a podcast there...
Micah: I thought we were just going on vacation.
Eric: Oh, we're working, too? Darn.
Andrew: The most exciting thing about doing a podcast there is that it's going to be our Part 2 review podcast, and everybody remembers how heated [laughs] our Part 1 review podcast was.
Micah: [laughs] We'll have to Skype-in Richard.
Andrew: Yeah, so to have it - so to do it in front of an audience will be very exciting because we'll be able to get feedback from people. People will not have to e-mail us their frustration with our review, [laughs] they'll just be able to yell at us, right?
Micah: Well, it'll only be yelling at me because I was the only one, I think, out of the two of you that really gave it a negative review.
Andrew: That's true. So, again, visit LeakyCon.com. It's going to be July 13th to the 17th in Orlando, Florida, right on the resort where The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is, and...
Eric: Andrew, I got a bone to pick with you. So, even the Leaky newsletter said that we're going to be at Leaky, but details are forthcoming, details are still in planning phase. How long are they going to still be in planning phases? I want to know when the Leaky...
Andrew: Well, we just haven't...
Eric: ...Mug is.
Andrew: We just haven't really talked about it yet, but we will be at LeakyCon. I mean, that's for sure.
Eric: All right.
Andrew: We just haven't figured out what day and time the podcast will be, and all that.
Micah: Don't worry, we'll do a show, Eric. It's okay.
Andrew: Yeah, you don't have to worry about that. We will be doing a show.
Micah: And Andrew...
Andrew: Even if we have to sit in one of the hallways...
Andrew: ...and sit around a laptop. People can watch us...
Micah: Yeah, Andrew, look - but I just wanted to get this out there right now. It's much different doing a live show, so I will, of course, agree with whatever the fans have to say when we're in front of them, but should we return...
Andrew: You don't want to face their wrath.
Micah: Should we return...
Andrew: You feel more comfortable...
Andrew: ...hiding behind your desk in New York City.
Micah: Exactly. Now should we do a show after the convention? And if there's something that I might have disagreed with, then I may voice my opinion.
Andrew: No, people want to hear the critiques...
Micah: No, I know.
Andrew: I mean, you don't have to be brutal.
Eric: Actually, people do like the change of pace.
Andrew: Honest opinions.
Eric: Well, I got to say, when I released the review and when we talked about it on the show, too, the fact that Richard was so against a lot of Deathly Hallows, and that you guys - for the most part, I think both of you did agree with many of his points or have your own points to say against the film, and I think people really responded to that. That's partially why everybody was so passionate, and we did the next episode a couple of days later just because we'd gotten so much response and I think that was a large part due to - we were all critical and we all had different opinions, genuine, different opinions on the film. So, I hope that's the same, I guess, for Part 2 or I hope it's not the same for Part 2, I don't know.
Andrew: Let's move on now to the Dueling Club! I think the last time we did this was with producer David Heyman, when he was awfully confused until you guys - until Micah led the way.
Eric: And lost.
Andrew: So, in case anyone doesn't know how this works, this is a little fun segment where two hosts each pick a character out of the blue and we decide who would win in that duel. So, I would like to go first. Who wants to duel me and my character?
Micah: Let's go, Andrew!
Andrew: Okay! [laughs]
Micah: If I could take on David...
Andrew: Okay...
Micah: Well, actually, David Heyman kicked my ass the last time so...
Andrew: That's true. I will select Sirius Black.
Micah: All right, I will select Karkaroff, keeping in the theme of our Chapter-by-Chapter discussion.
Eric: Ooh, very nice.
Andrew: Okay. Well, I mean, is Karkaroff an Animagus?
Micah: No, he's not.
Eric: [laughs] Oh!
Micah: Not to our knowledge.
Andrew: Okay, excellent. Well, here's the first advantage: Sirius Black is an Animagus, he could turn into a dog and bite Karkaroff's long neck.
Andrew: He's a very tall man. So, there's a lot of places where he could bite Karkaroff. And also, let's not forget, he was very clever during his Hogwarts days. I mean, he created the Marauder's Map for crying out loud. This is a very clever man who worked with, of course, James Potter. And yes, he was a trouble maker, but so was Karkaroff. And - but Sirius has the upper edge because he is a masterful magician despite being hit by Bellatrix and dying.
Eric: Hmm.
Micah: Well, he's alive for our purposes now.
Andrew: Right.
Andrew and
Micah: Of course.
Eric: Awww...
Andrew: But I'm just saying...
Eric: ...he lives on...
Andrew: ...he has one flaw...
Eric: ...in our podcast.
Andrew: ...which is that Bellatrix thing.
Micah: Well, Karkaroff is a former Death Eater and he could surely use his powers against Sirius Black. If Sirius wasn't able to take down Wormtail, who is by far the most inept of any of the Death Eaters, he's definitely going to have a problem with somebody like Karkaroff. And if Sirius decides to turn into a dog, Karkaroff could just, "Here, puppy, puppy!" and wham, right on top of the head. [laughs]
Eric: Wow...
Micah: He would never see it coming!
Eric: ...animal abuse on MuggleCast!
Micah: [laughs] But no, I mean, come on, Karkaroff was in Voldemort's inner circle. Sirius is immature at times, and I think that - and plus, Karkaroff teaches at the school where Grindelwald once went, so - and he's the headmaster there. So, Sirius is a little bit too foolish and inexperienced after spending all this time - look what happened against Bellatrix! He should have been more prepared.
Andrew: Yeah, but he put up a good fight. He was in the Marauders, and he was also in the Order of the Phoenix. I mean, he had great defensive skills.
Eric: I don't know, I'm going to have to hand this one to Micah. I mean, he is the headmaster of the school for Dark Arts, so I don't know. I think Micah may have won this. Just the repertoire, for no other reason, the repertoire of spells would be greater. I think Micah wins.
Andrew: All right, if you say so.
Micah: You're just all for animal cruelty, aren't you?
Eric: Yeah, we got to break out the Sarah McLachlan here, I feel like there are animals caged that need our help somewhere.
Andrew: Now, Micah and Eric duel. Eric, you select the first character and Micah will have his.
Andrew: Go ahead.
Eric: Gilderoy Lockhart.
Micah: Barty Crouch, Sr. [laughs]
Eric: Ooh, all right. So, Barty Crouch, Sr. and Gilderoy Lockhart.
Andrew: So, Eric...
Andrew: ...why would Lockhart win against Barty Crouch, Sr.?
Eric: Well, we know that Gilderoy Lockhart is a bit of a fraud at times in certain areas. But the research that went into Gilderoy Lockhart's book is his ability to covertly, perhaps, move in and steal the identities of his charges, and not to mention memory charms make him a pretty competent thief. And I think for that reason, because he is a dueler, it must have taken a certain degree of planning and a lot of - a higher degree of acting, to pull of what Gilderoy did, especially with so many publications and awards for Most Charming Smile. I think that Gilderoy Lockhart is a very talented sleuth who would be able to overcome somebody with his powers of deception.
Andrew: Did you read Chamber of Secrets?
Eric: Ahhh...
Andrew: Okay, never mind.
Eric: Once. Once. Twice, maybe.
Andrew: Go ahead, Micah.
Micah: Well, look, my only response to this is that Barty Crouch, Sr. would just simply have to hold up a mirror and then Gilderoy Lockhart would stare at it for the whole time...
Micah: ...during the duel, and Barty Crouch, Sr. could do whatever he wants.
Micah: That's my defense. I think...
Andrew: Well, that may be...
Micah: ...he would get lost within himself which would allow Barty Crouch to just - he could - all he would have to do is take out - I don't even know, just trip him or knock him over.
[Everyone laughs]
Micah: He would be so enamored by seeing himself in the mirror that he would be lost.
Eric: Well, Gilderoy Lockhart...
Andrew: I think I...
Eric: ...dresses better.
Andrew: I'm sorry, Eric, this is what you get for making me lose. I do have to give it to Micah. I think Lockhart is a very hard person to defend, he is very full of himself, as Micah pointed out, and he's just not that great of a wizard. And it's proven by the fact he had to make up all of his stories rather than - or get the stories from other people rather than do them himself.
Micah: Now, if you had said that he could have used a memory charm somehow on Barty Crouch, Sr. because Barty Crouch, Sr. ends up getting put under the Imperius Curse very easily or - we don't know, but we find that out later in the book. So, yeah, maybe he's susceptible to certain spells, that would have been my defense of him.
Eric: Interesting. Well, Micah, you - I think I have to say you've redeemed yourself. I mean, you did lose to...
Andrew: You did very well today.
Eric: ...David Heyman, but you beat both of us with flying colors.
Micah: Well, David and I will meet again.
Eric: I think so.
Micah: We'll have to have him back on the show.
Andrew: At the premiere you should be, like, "David, it's time to duel again!"
Micah: We'll get him...
Andrew: Let's go!
Micah: [laughs] We'll get him back on the show.
Eric: And he'll be, like, "You want to admit defeat again?" [laughs] It would be funny if he remembered.
Andrew: [poorly imitating David Heyman] You want to defeat - admit defeat again, Micah?

MOSCOW – Brazil barely managed to get everything ready in time for the World Cup that ended last weekend.
Russia insists it won't have any such problems in 2018, although the country faces other issues ahead of soccer's next showcase tournament — including the threat of racism and violence.
As was the case with Brazil, the sheer size of Russia is set to cause logistical challenges for organizers and fans alike for the 2018 World Cup, with thousands of miles separating some of the host cities. But the successful staging of February's Winter Olympics without any major organizational problems raised the Russians' confidence they can produce a high-class tournament.
After the Games, Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko told parliament Russia would avoid the "Brazilian scenario" of massive construction delays.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
Of the 12 stadiums in 11 host cities, two are complete but must be reconfigured to host soccer matches. A third, the Spartak Stadium in Moscow, will open in September. Others, including Moscow's 81,000-capacity Luzhniki where the final will be played, are new projects where construction has either started or will begin this year.
A bigger issue might be racism from fans. There have been several incidents in Russian club football in recent years.
Monkey chants aimed at Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure by CSKA Moscow fans during a Champions League game in November earned the Russian club the first of two UEFA racism sanctions last season, and highlighted Russian soccer's problems with discrimination and violence.
"Russian football is a making certain efforts towards combating (racism)," organizing committee head Alexei Sorokin said. "This thing exists everywhere; we are no exception. So we are going to do what we can."

Michael Crabtree got off to a great start with 49ers fans because of the highlight reel he put together in college. He was a God at Texas Tech. College receivers are usually thought of as enjoying their great quarterbacks' residue, but Crabtree was a Jordan on the field at Lubbock. No wonder Nike's gourmet shoes and clothing line locked up Crabtree soon after he left the Red Raiders.
But that holdout, blech. MC Hammer (or was it just "Hammer" at the time?) was in the mix. The 49ers needed help, and Crabtree needed market value. Or, his own version of market value.
He finally signed. And he was productive. He didn't wow anyone, but there were extenuating circumstances: one offensive coordinator per season; a quarterback who throws to the guy who's clearly open, not the guy who can't wait to fight for a pass and make something happen after the catch.
Crabtree finally looked like a high first round pick in 2012 and early 2013, when he was one of the best receivers in the postseason. Was it painful to see Colin Kaepernick keep going to Crabtree at the goal-line in the Super Bowl? Absolutely. I was there. It was horrible. Ravens fans chanting "Seven Nation Army." Nightmarish.
But the future was right there for the taking, until #yungcrab tore his Achilles during OTAs. 2013 was destined to be a lost year.
Of all the 49ers who could get ginormous extensions, Crabtree is generally thought of as the guy who'll be the toughest to please. None of their best players have any rational reason to remain loyal to the 49ers (besides Kaepernick, because Harbaugh loves the kid), but Crabtree's rookie holdout and demeanor make him seem like the least likely candidate to accept a "discount."
Not that anyone takes less than market value anymore. It's a fun discussion topic, I suppose. If Crab's agent reads this section due to BASG's strong SEO, he's going to laugh and laugh and …
I haven't had a lot of experience around injured stars (besides Brian Wilson, who didn't rejoin the Giants until the 2012 postseason when national cameras made returning a worthwhile activity in his mind), but Crabtree hasn't used a pretty traumatic injury as an excuse to distance himself from the team. He's always around, or at least it seems that way when we're allowed in the 49ers' locker room.
You might be wondering about the headline. Let me explain. Crabtree kills Patrick Peterson. We're talking 14 receptions, 244 yards and four touchdowns in two games last year. Crab's gotta be going crazy with an opportunity like this passing by. So I asked Greg Roman this question on Thursday:
WR Michael Crabtree has had a lot of success against the Cardinals in the past. How active is he in meeting and giving tips to receivers on not just this game, but game-to-game?
"Coach Crabtree, been doing a wonderful job. Just got to get him a whistle and a clipboard and there we have it. But no, Michael has been very good in meetings, out on the field on game-day and he's working really hard. Looking good."
Yeah, yeah. Coach says something good about a player they need to stay motivated. But Crabree really is a constant presence. And in talking to him last year, he kind of reminds me of Frank Gore — a football savant who can get pissy when things don't go his way, but only when his team is losing. Gore and Crabtree are both great blockers. They both tend to win individual matchups more often than not. And neither player takes team losses all that well.
Gore has been around forever. Crabtree seemed like someone who might bail. That still might happen, especially if he doesn't fully recover from the Achilles tear and the 49ers lose interest. But if he returns at full strength — and modern medicine hasn't let us down all that often over the last few years — his 49ers career might last considerably longer than most would've figured back in '09. And with Anquan Boldin facing constant double-teams, the best possible news came this week when Jim Harbaugh said Crabtree could be back by mid-November.

Declaration: The Republic of Bulgaria declares that for a dispute not resolved in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 15, it accepts both of the following means of dispute settlement as compulsory in relation to any Party accepting the same obligation: a ) Submission of the dispute to the International Court of Justice; b ) Arbitration in accordance with the procedure set out in Appendix VII.
Reservation: "Inasmuch as under the Canadian constitutional system legislative jurisdiction in respect of environmental assessment is divided between the provinces and the federal government, the Government of Canada in ratifying this Convention, makes a reservation in respect of proposed activities (as defined in this Convention) that fall outside of federal legislative jurisdiction exercised in respect of environmental assessment."
European Union
Declarations made upon signature and confirmed upon approval: "It is understood, that the Community Member States, in their mutual relations, will apply the Convention in accordance with the Community's internal rules, including those of the EURATOM Treaty, and without prejudice to appropriate amendments being made to those rules. "The European Community considers that, if the information of the public of the Party of origin takes place when the environmental impact assessment documentation is available, the information of the affected Party by the Party of origin must be implemented simultaneously at the latest. "The Community considers that the Convention implies that each Party must assure, on its territory, that the public is provided with the environmental impact assessment documentation, that it is informed and that its observations are collected."
Declaration made upon approval with respect to Article 17 (5) of the Convention: "In the field covered by the Espoo Convention, Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985, annexed to this Declaration, applies. It enables the Community to comply with most of the obligations under the Espoo Convention. Member States are responsible for the performance of those obligations resulting from the Espoo Convention not currently covered by Community law and more specifically by Directive 85/337/EEC. The Community underlines that Directive 85/337/EEC does not cover the application of the Espoo Convention between the Community on the one hand and non-Member States party to the Espoo Convention on the other hand. The Community will inform the depositary of any future amendment to Directive 85/337/EEC. From this, it follows that the Community, within the limits indicated above, is competent to enter into binding commitments on its own behalf with non-members countries which are Contracting Parties to the Espoo Convention."

When approving the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context, signed at Espoo on 25 February 1991, the Government of the French Republic declares that it associates itself with the declarations made by the European Commission, both when signing this Convention and when depositing the Community's instrument of ratification, and stresses in particular that: – In its relations with the member States of the European Union, France will apply the Convention in accordance with the Union's internal rules, including those laid down in the Euratom treaty; – When the public in the Party of origin is provided with information through the public distribution of the environmental impact assessment documentation, the notification of the affected Party by the Party of origin must be given no later than when the documentation is distributed; – The Convention implies that it is the responsibility of each Party to ensure the public distribution within its territory of the environmental impact assessment documentation, inform the public and collect its comments, except where different bilateral arrangements apply. It specifies that, any projects for which a request for authorization or approval is required and has already been submitted to the competent authority at the time when the Convention enters into force in France shall not be subject to the Convention. Lastly, it specifies that the word 'national' in article 2, paragraph 8, of the Convention shall be understood to refer to national laws, national regulations, national administrative provisions and commonly accepted national legal practices.

Progressives/Moderates and Newberry 2009
(cross-posted from Naked Capitalism)
If you didn't read it before, the piece by Sterling Newberry that Lambert links to above is well worth reading.
I would add two points.
First point: The move from the old economy to the new economy will be a larger shift because it will be a shift from rules evolved for the production of things to rules for the production of knowledge. The shift from petroleumism to CleanEnergyism that Newberry foresees is theoretically possible but highly unlikely without the deeper transformation. The current elite derives much of its power not from increasing productive forces but from throttling the development of the knowledge economy. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will be able to play a forward-moving role even in the material sector of the economy.
This biggest problem to solve for any knowledge-driven economy is this: It must do two things at the same time: compensate those who do the work and turn the knowledge totally free. I strongly suspect that neither private property + corporations nor state property + government can do this, but that something new will be required.
Progressives are connected with the emergent knowledge producing class (in a broad sense). This is one reason why the relationship between "Progressives" (advocates for the next economy) and "Moderates" (advocates for rationalization of the old economy to prop it up longer) is more complex than Newberry presents. (Note too that Newberry is using these terms somewhat different from their usual usage. In particular, "moderates" are not watered-down progressives or pragmatic progressives, but a separate opposed pole, rational conservatives. Really, go read the article. After you finish my post) In particular, many who are genuinely progressive are nonetheless following supposed "Progressives" who are actually "Moderates". Actual progressives have comparatively little (miniscule) institutional support. As a result, leadership among progressives often goes to those "progressives" who are subsidized by "moderate" opponents of progressivism in return for helping keep progressives as a colony of the "moderates".
This "undercutting" of progressives at the very top mirrors what happens in the real economy. Within the knowledge producing class, the greatest resources are given to "creatives" who work in one form or another as propagandists for the old economy and technologists who themselves have become part of the rent-collecting elite (Microsoft and Apple, for example).
This contradiction between the actually existing knowledge producing sector and the potential of knowledge producers, both as a social force and as an expression of expanded human development, is an under-recognized factor, particularly in politics and culture. I believe it goes a long way in explaining why the elite has so far been so paralyzed by corruption and is driving us along a path that will not be sustainable for long even for the elite themselves.

May 25, 2016
ALBANY, Ga. (AP) -- Three siblings accused in a multistate crime spree have pleaded not guilty to charges of pulling off a daring bank robbery in south Georgia.
Ryan Dougherty, Lee Grace Dougherty and Dylan Stanley-Dougherty entered the plea Tuesday at a court hearing in Albany. They are accused of robbing a bank in Valdosta, Ga., hours after escaping from police in Florida. They were captured about a week later after a police chase and shootout in Colorado.
The trio received lengthy prison sentences last month in Colorado for the mayhem they caused there, and they're also expected to face criminal charges in Florida.
The three said little at Tuesday's court appearance. At the Colorado sentencing hearing Lee Dougherty apologized for her "poor judgment" and Dylan Stanley-Dougherty said he acted "out of desperation."

De Villiers Walton is a specialist consulting, systems integration and software development company with SAP at the core. We help our customers' businesses Run Better by leveraging their investment in SAP software.
I hate the word, "synergy" almost as much as I hate the word, "passion" but sometimes when you experience the powerful combination of two technologies, no other word will do.
The two technologies that have forced me to embrace the word, "synergy" are SAP's Cloud for Customer and Transversal's Prescience.
Check out the recording of our webinar, "Confessions of an SAP Cloud for Customer". Presented by me, Darron Walton, the webinar examines the good, the bad and the ugly of SAP C4C and gives tips on how to ensure a successful implementation of the solution.
In a previous blog, I identified four key issues with the SAP TPM solution today. Specifically, it's poor usability, high complexity, generally poor performance and slow deployment time.
We recently completed an engagement for a global consumer goods company who, having implemented SAP TPM - and a notorious "tier one" SI TPM template - were struggling with the usability, complexity and performance of the solution.
Since we originally posted this blog back in November 2013 it has consistently been one of our most frequently read blogs. I guess it goes to show both the level of interest around Fiori within the SAP community and the power of a snappy title.
When people talk about knowledge management integration for SAP Cloud for Customer, MindTouch is often one of the first products mentioned. In this blog I want to introduce you to an alternative and, in my opinion, better product that elevates itself above other knowledge management products through its ability to understand what people mean and not what they say, anticipate what knowledge they will need next and improve through continued use. This is much more than a search engine that can trawl through a repository of documents. The product is Transversal's next-generation cognitive knowledge platform Prescience and at De Villiers Walton we've been so impressed by it that we've integrated it with SAP C4C.

Haryana achieves 19.5% growth rate in GSDP
Chandigarh:The Haryana government claims to have achieved 19.5% growth rate in Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) to emerge as one of the top two performers among major states in terms of economic growth during the 11th Five Year Plan. According to a recent Planning Commission report on state finances, the GSDP growth rate of Bihar and Haryana was 21.9 per cent and 19.5 per cent, respectively, during the 11th plan that ranged between 2007 and 2012. The GSDP growth rate measures how fast the economy grows. It is worth mentioning that except Haryana, none of the previous fast growing big states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu could find a place in the top five.

Perianal Fistulectomy
This procedure is done in the hospital on an outpatient basis using a general anesthetic or a spinal . This procedure is done to remove a perianal fistula that can form after someone develops a perianal abscess. The fistula may form 4-6 weeks or even a year after the initial abscess. Fifty percent of abscesses will develop a fistula.
There are 3 important parts of a fistula to identify prior to or at the beginning of the surgery. The external opening, which is usually obvious around the anal opening on the outside, the tract, which is the connection between the external and the internal openings, and the internal opening, which is not always evident until during the surgery. Sometimes a blue dye is injected into the external opening to allow identification of the internal opening at the time of surgery. The fistulectomy consists of removing or opening the 3 components. This is always done with dividing the least amount of sphincter muscle as possible but yet allowing a cure of the fistula, there by minimizing any leakage or drainage after surgery. The location of the internal opening will usually dictate how much of the sphincter muscle will be cut or divided. The further up inside the anal canal or rectum the internal opening is located, the more muscle will have to be incised or cut through, leading to more of a risk of leakage or drainage after the wound has healed.
Once the fistula has been removed, the groove or wound is left open to granulate in. The granulation or healing process usually takes 4-6 weeks. The surgery takes approx. 45-60 minutes. Pain medication and antibiotics will be given at discharge. There will be several post-op office visits required.
Some fistulas can be very complicated and may require more than 1 surgery.

Daily Update: Will Quentin face Greinke
Carlos Quentin hasn't played in seven games since injuring his left shoulder while swinging the bat late in the June 14 game against Arizona at Petco Park.
But he took batting practice on the field Friday afternoon and ran in the outfield. Typically, those are signs that a player is close and since Quentin isn't on the disabled list he could be back in the lineup at any time.
So, what about Saturday afternoon at Petco Park in a game being televised by the Fox national network.
The draw? Zack Greinke will be pitching for the Dodgers.
Greinke hasn't faced the Padres – or Quentin – since the April 11 double brawl at Petco Park.
The incident began when Greinke hit Quentin with a pitch. Quentin charged the mound. Greinke suffered a fracture to the collarbone when he collided with Quentin in front of the mound. Greinke went on the disabled list. Quentin got an eight-game suspension.
In the wake of the brawl, Quentin said there "was a history" between he and Greinke. The pair eventually talked. Quentin played without incident when the Padres visited Dodger Stadium earlier this month. Quentin has said he is eager to put the incident "behind him."
Returning to the lineup Saturday to face Greinke in a game televised beyond the borders of Southern California might serve both sides. Don't be surprised to see Quentin return to the lineup to face Greinke Saturday afternoon before an expected near sellout crowd.
The Daily Five:
--Chris Denorfia's first-inning homer off Clayton Kershaw Friday night was the outfielder's second of the season and third of his career against the Dodgers' left-handed ace. Adam Dunn (four) is the only major leaguer with more homers off Kershaw than Denorfia. Denorfia has a career .296 average (8-for-27) against Kershaw. "I got off to a really slow start against him," said Denorfia of the head-to-head against Kershaw. All five of Denorfia's homers this season have come off left-handed pitchers and nine of his last 10 homers have come against left-handers. Denorfia is hitting .287 (27-for-94) against left-handers this season and is hitting .322 (126-for-391) against left-handed pitchers since the start of the 2011 season.
--Denorfia's homer was the 34th hit by the Padres at Petco Park this season. They are on pace to hit 72 homers at home this season. That would be tied for the second-most in their history at Petco Park. The 2006 Padres hit 75 homers in 2006 and the 2007 Padres hit 72 homers. Last year, the Padres didn't hit their 34th homer at home until the season's 68th home game on Sept. 8. The Padres 27 homers in June is tied for the lead in the major leagues.
--The Padres have come from behind in each of their last six wins and seven of the last eight. They have 19 come-from-behind wins this season. They are 23-7 over their last 30 home games in addition to winning eight straight at Petco Park. The Padres are 33-21 since April 24, which is tied for the second-best record in the major leagues over the past 54 games. They are a National League-best 13-7 in June.
--Chase Headley's two-run triple against Kershaw in the third inning Friday night gave him his first two-RBI game since May 12 at Tampa Bay. The 37 straight games without a multi-RBI game was the third-longest, single-season streak of Headley's career and the longest since the 2010 season.
--The Padres bullpen worked nine innings in a nine-inning game Friday night. The last time that happened was April 22, 1991 against the Giants.
Prospect Watch:
--LH starter Robbie Erlin, who is one of the candidates to replace the injured Clayton Richard in the Padres rotation, allowed two runs on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings in Triple-A Tucson's 5-3 win over Las Vegas Friday night. Erlin is 6-2 with a 5.25 ERA. 2B Jonathan Galvez homered for Tucson.

I ordered Ocean Quest Totally Dry Snorkel and there seems to be an some sort of snorkel retainer attached to the snorkel, but I cant figure out how it works. I think a piece may be missing. Can you explain how to use the retainer or post a picture of what the functioning retainer should look like?
Hello What is the difference between mini and normal ultra dry oceanic - eg length? I am female, weigh just over 120lbs and have a small mouth I am hoping one of these products is the answer to my problem - when trying to swop from snorkel to regulator I distort the muscles around my mouth so much that water gets into mask and up nose Should I buy mini or normal plus small mouth piece I have just started diving and passed my first PADI qualification Thank you
Ocean Quest offers an exciting Dry Snorkel with their Pacific Totally Dry Snorkel. Functionally designed to be the perfect all-around choice for the novice snorkeler through the most experienced scuba diver. The Dry Snorkel Technology eliminates water entry through the top of the snorkel in the event of a boat wake or a wave coming over the head, making it attractive for divers performing surface swims. It also becomes handy for the snorkeler by eliminating surprise mouthfuls of water being breathed into their lungs when they forget and dip the end of their snorkel into the water while enjoying the sights from the surface.
Designed with comfort and ease of use in mind, this snorkel uses a smooth bore silicone flex tube to help alleviate breathing resistance, and a one-way purge valve for effortless clearing. Also featured in a low profile design are a comfortable and replaceable, ergonomically curved mouthpiece, and a snorkel retainer clip. Available in a variety of colors and in a regular adult size and a youth or mini size, the Pacific Totally Dry Snorkel is an attractive and economical choice for the diver who values performance and price.

MIWD Now Taking Orders for MI EnergyCore Energy Efficient Windows
Prescott Valley, AZ - Customers eagerly awaiting the new energy efficient window and door line, the MI EnergyCore™ Window System, can begin placing their orders today announced MI Windows and Doors (MIWD). The following styles are now available: Double Hung, Casement, Picture Window, Awning, and French Rail Patio Door.
Seth Wych, Sales Representative, from Walker Windows (http://www.walkerwindows.com/) in Anaheim, CA, an MI EnergyCore Certified Dealer, commented, "We are pleased to be able to start ordering the MI EnergyCore product line today. We already have quoted the product on several large projects and the builders and architects that we have exposed the products to have responded positively; these new products are definitely a game changer compared to other products in the market and are setting the bar for energy efficiency." Adds, Wych, "MIWD provides us with top-notch sales support with a combination of our knowledgeable sales rep, Jack Fisher, and the stellar support we get from our inside sales rep, Roxy Saenz. On top of the team, the customized iPad sales application allows us to present the product line effectively and efficiently."
The MI EnergyCore Window System is designed for optimal energy efficiency and high performance without compromising style and functionality. The system's high performance is derived from a combination of patented AirCell™ PVC frame technology, TMAX™ Insulating Glass, and a design that incorporates numerous physical barriers against air and water infiltration.
The line provides a complete, cost-effective family of products to meet the next phase of ENERGY STAR requirements and to qualify for the Department of Energy's High Performance Windows Program (R-5). "Most high performance window systems offered today involve complicated exceptions. For example, some styles meet the grade while other styles or configurations do not. MI EnergyCore is designed to meet the grade in any style or any configuration. Therefore, homeowners do not need to sacrifice style or aesthetic upgrades to gain performance," states Mike DeSoto, President of MI's Western division.
Laminate glass option now avaialble! For added security and sound control the MI EnergyCore windows can be upgraded with SQS Laminate glass. Like the laminate glass in an automobile windshield, SQS glass provides safety from internal or external penetration. Additionally, the unique PVB interlayer reduces the sound transmission by up to 50% while providing over 99% UV protection.
In order to successfully ramp up the production of the MI EnergyCore Window System, a two phase launch has been planned for. Phase 1 (now avaiable) will include the release of the following window styles: Double Hung, Casement, Picture Window, Awning, and French Rail Patio Door; and Phase 2 (October 1) will add Single Hung, Single Slider, XOX, Combination Slide Windows, and the Specialty Shape windows to the product line.
"Our window dealers and their customers desire a good, better, best offering," adds DeSoto. "MIWD strives to be best-in-class in each of these categories and MI EnergyCore met our test for the best. The products are designed to be significantly more energy efficient, stronger, more secure and quieter than any other complete family of products on the market."
The windows and doors are available from MI EnergyCore Certified Dealers, who have been trained and certified to best present the features and benefits of the new energy efficient window system.
For more information about the MI EnergyCore Window System, or to find an MI EnergyCore Certified Dealer, see http://mienergycore.com

Regions of Ireland
The 8 Regional Authorities were established by the 1991 Local Government
Act and came into existence in 1994. Under this Act, the Regional Authorities
have two main functions: to promote the co-ordination of public service
provision and to monitor the delivery of EU Structural Fund assistance
in the regions. The Regional Authorities have specific responsibility
• Reviewing, as appropriate, the Development Plans of the Local Authorities in and, where relevant, adjoining the Region to consider the consistency of plans with one another and with the overall development needs of the Region.
• Preparing Regional Planning Guidelines and Regional Economic and Social Strategies;
• Promotingconsultation, cooperation, and joint arrangements and actions among local authorities and other public bodies, including consideration by Public Authorities of the implications for, or the effect of, their decisions, activities or services on the Region.
Membership of the Regional Authorities
The members of the Regional Authorities are not directly elected, but nominated from among the elected members of the local authorities in the region. Each local authority has a certain number of seats on a Regional Authority, based loosely on the population of the local authority area. The size of the Regional Authorities varies from 21 members in the Mid-East region to 37 members in the Border region.
Structure of Regional Authorities
To assist the Regional Authority in undertaking its functions, each has an Operational Committee and an EU Operational Committee. The Operational Committee is chaired by the Cathaoirleach (Chairperson) of the Regional Authority and is composed of senior management from the constituent local authorities and other relevant public sector agencies operating in the region. It helps prepare the work of the Regional Authority and assists and advises it on matters relating to its functions. Also, each Regional Authority has a designated city/county manager (chief executive of a local authority) from one of its local authorities to further enhance the linkages between the local authorities and the Regional Authority.
The EU Operational Committee has a similar, but broader, composition and assists the Regional Authority in matters relating to EU assistance and reviewing the implementation of various EU Operational Programmes in a region.
Each Regional Authority has a Director, assisted by a number of policy and administrative staff.
Financing of the Regional Authorities
The financing of the activities of the Regional Authorities is largely borne by their constituent local authorities.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet.
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

Also, why only Gen 5? Why not including chatch rates of all Gens?
And which language did you wrote it in? Is it open source?
And personally I wonder why you wrote this programm, I mean, looking things up in Bulbapedia is pretty fast too. Did you divided the core implementation and the GUI

Victor Bouie took the stand in his defense and testified that he and his friend Neal Davis got into an argument over a $30 dollar.
He says in middle of the argument Davis walked into a back room and retrieved a gun.
"When I seen the gun I knew he was mad and I tried to grab it an we got into a grab it and we got into a fight over it," said Bouie.
Bouie says the two struggled for some time and then the gun went off hitting Davis in the face, but Davis painted a different picture. In fact, Davis says he was not hit at close range.
Prosecuting attorney Rick Combs says Bouie had intentions of robbing then killing Davis for money. He says Bouie left the scene with Davis' car, but not before running him over and then coming back do it again.
Bouie is no stranger to the law. He has two previous felony charges of aggravated battery and marijuana sale.

April is the BUSIEST Month
So far…. We're moving fullblast with our team expansion plans. We will
1. Hire almost thrice the current team size.
2. Handle triple of the current production volumes.
3. Migrate and transition work from another offshore office. We're doing this virtually.
There are just too many things to take care. Hiring, procurement of systems and equipment that we will be using. Just the mere thought wears me BIG time. Good thing that the big bosses planned it and worked on subdividing it to phases. So at the moment, I just focus on each phase at a time and try to do everything according to the proposed timelines. I know we can do it although i feel that it is both daunting and overwhelming.
There are those systems and equipments that I am not familiar of…things like KVM switches, splitters and the like. Good thing that the head of our IT is in full support. I hope we will be able to pull this through.

Dear, all. I currently have OpenExchange in production but I would like to migrate my users over to Zimbra or set up Zimbra 5.1 as a secondary/backup/failover mail server.
I only care about users' accounts and password and have not found a way to create users from slapcat ldif file (got from OpenExchange's ldap server) on Zimbra 5.1. The problem is that I do not have users' passwords in plain text and I only have their passwords in SSHA hash forms. I do not think ldap command lines provides anything except ldapmodify that I could use for my purpose (???).
I tried to access ldap server from the command lines but
ldapmodify -x -w UQjvJ92HvQ -D 'uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra' -f zimbra.test.ldif
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
My first question is: how do we access the ldap server from the command lines?
My second question is: Are there any better ways to migrate my users's accounts and passwords to Zimbra's ldap server?
My third question is: How I am going to sync imap boxes to Zimbra if I only have SSHA forms of users' passwords?
Please share your thoughts, ideas, experiences on these issues. I am also sorry if somebody already posted similar questions.
Thank you.

Somebody Has To Win, Part 2
I would not want to be a member of one of those Republican "elite" circles right now, responsible for getting my party out of its presidential quandry.
The Herman Cain implosion is now impossible to deny or ignore. With one of the original sexual harassment accusers going public (and looking highly credible), a new accuser coming forward, and the candidate himself holding a highly self-destructive press conference, the Cain Train's forward momentum now seems to be depending entirely on blind conservative hatred of the media (and perhaps of those feminazis who think sexual harassment is a serious issue). But even that line of defense may be crumbling. RedState's Erick Erickson pretty much gave up on Cain when he tried to blame the Perry campaign for his troubles, calling the Cain campaign "stuck on stupid." The Iowa Republican's Craig Robinson has gone into full-fledged attack mode, calling Cain's conservative defenders part of a "cult of personality." And those signs of abandonment occurred before today's rolling fiasco.
So will Cain's impending collapse finally convince Republicans to unite behind Mitt Romney? Doesn't look like it. Mitt seems stuck in the polls nearly everywhere other than in New Hampshire. Will it feed a comeback by Rick Perry? Not much sign of that, either.
Indeed, the candidate who seems to be benefiting from the chaos right now is none other than Newt Gingrich, left for dead months ago and still running a limited campaign that's in the red financially. Brand new PPP polls in Ohio and Mississippi (and also in the state senate district in Iowa that's holding a special election today) show Gingrich running not only well ahead of Perry, but also ahead of Romney. Jonathan Chait is so stunned by what he calls "The Newtening" (sorta kinda told you so, Jon) that he's foresworn making any more predictions about this GOP nomination contest.
What's next? A Santorum surge? (Matter of fact, there are some who see signs of Santorum momentum in Iowa). A Bachmann revival? A Ron Paul breakthrough?
Hard to say, but the one thing that does still make sense, as Ron Brownstein explained week before last, is that there are two separate GOP nominating contests underway, one for each half of the party that is composed of Tea Party supporters and non-Tea Party supporters. Romney is winning the latter handily, but has made little headway among the former, who are obviously struggling to settle on a champion. There is no one in sight who can bridge the gap between the two factions, which means that unless Romney can just wrap it all up early with a surgical strike in Iowa, a collision is inevitable between Mitt and, well, somebody.

Llama Bar was all slick locks and sleek black when Maurice Meade unveiled its winter campaign with a special surprise for its staff; a performance from LA rock group Oh Darling's lead singer Jasmine Ash.
Fresh from Sydney after sealing a deal with Alberts – the same company that works with AC/DC, Gotye, San Cisco, Megan Washington and Hungry Kids of Hungary – Ash performed The Prettiest Thing, which was used by the salon chain in their TV ads.
"[Alberts] flew me over and I've been writing songs and recording every day ever since," she said.
"They have AC/DC and Gotye, they're a very strong Australian music label."
Ash has written with Ed Sheeran, Ben Lee and The Voice 2012's Fatai Veamatahau and her songs have been used by 90210, The Good Wife, Drop Dead Diva, Evian, Apple, Ferrero Rocher and Nissan.
"I worked with Fatai from last season of The Voice," she said.
"I wrote a song for her to come out on her record this year through Universal... really exciting, it's a great song.
"She was an amazing talent; I was humbled working with her;17 years old, this crazy voice, such a sweet girl, it was a really cool experience."
The Oregon-born singer said she had fallen in love with local fauna during her first Australian visit.
"It's so pretty here," she said.
"I love Perth for so many different reasons but, because every person I've met has been so wonderful and so lovely and so welcoming to a stranger, a perfect stranger really.
"And also you have koalas here that I pet, and kangaroos that I also pet, and a blonde possum that was the fluffiest cutest thing I've ever seen and beautiful weather and good food and nice wine."
Guests that joined Ash at the "Best I Can Be" winter launch included Maurice and Rosemany Meade, Amy Zempilas and models Kelly Holmes, Kim Watson and Roisin McLachlan.
