#282 brothermanOG 2004

I should have stayed in bed today...

juicymango #281 juicymangoOG 2003

ugh my dog attacked a stray cat in our backyard :(

ugh i feel so bad this happened even though the cat seems to be ok he got away before i could get closer and grab my dog

ugh

:(

socalgal #281.1 socalgalOG 2003

aw man, at least the cats ok.

juicymango #281.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

yeah i herad my dog barking and went out there and musta scared the cat and the cat ran RIGHT towards the dog and they fought for like 5 seconds tops heh but it was a crazy feeling i didn't know what to do and i never expected my dog to do that!!!!

socalgal #281.1.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

maybe cause the dog was feeling threatened since the cat ran right too him instead of away.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah.. maybe.. i mean we HAVE a cat and they get along fine!!! :( ugh. that sucked.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

awww. i can imagine. but i know if i was staring someone down and they came charging at me i would attack them. lol

A
alexOG 2001

well there's a good chance your dog got off worse than the cat. cats get crazy when they fight. plus it was stray, so it's probably used to gettin into fights and stuff.

iwz #281.1.1.2 iwz

time to put him down :(

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

lol ok

juicymango #280 juicymangoOG 2003
socalgal #280.1 socalgalOG 2003

just a pic. not a video.

theremin #280.1.1 thereminOG 2002

I think we missed our chance again

theremin #280.2 thereminOG 2002

Oh, next time somebody save that video and send it to me.. thanks

tesoro #280.3 tesoroOG 2001

I can't watch it at work. Why do they keep pulling it?

rocksupastar #280.3.1 rocksupastarFounder

because the Church of Scientology feels that its infringing on copywrites, and it isnt a authorized interview. With the amount of money that religion makes it could bury anyone... id be scared if i was the guy that posted it, Tom Cruise would come and kill my in my sleep.

juicymango #280.4 juicymangoOG 2003

SCROLL DOWN PEOPLE - the video is there

rocksupastar #280.4.1 rocksupastarFounder

that site is blocked for me at work, so i couldnt tell ya...

theremin #280.4.2 thereminOG 2002

Oh sorry, thought that was a video of something different. Thanks

socalgal #280.4.3 socalgalOG 2003

i saw it. he gets this weird psychotic look in his eyes. SO WEIRD. SO BRAINWASHED. so sad.

juicymango #280.4.3.1 juicymangoOG 2003

yeah when he starts laughing it's like... REALLy scary

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

yeah its like in those scary movies where the psycho just keeps switching personalities where he's all "i love you so much" while he's getting ready to chop you to death

thefunkyfresh #280.5 thefunkyfreshFounder

wow... he's wacked

thefunkyfresh #280.6 thefunkyfreshFounder

is that video meant to make a mockery of tom cruise and Scientology or is it serious?

iwz #280.6.1 iwz

it looks like an interview by and for scientologists shown during an awards ceremony. it's serious.

theremin #280.7 thereminOG 2002

what a screwball!

juicymango #279 juicymangoOG 2003
malibu #278 malibuOG 2001

when you work at a car company do you think you get money off if you buy one? the mini-cooper dealership in mahwah is looking for help and all i want is a mini cooper

socalgal #278.1 socalgalOG 2003

yeah they do have "dealer" discounts. its like so much of a percentage off sticker price. something like that.

socalgal #277 socalgalOG 2003

wow brad renfro died.

B
#277.1 brothermanOG 2004

socalgal #275 socalgalOG 2003

OMG I WASNT ABLE TO SEE THE TOM CRUISE VIDEO!!! it got pulled! BOOOOOOOO

rocksupastar #275.1 rocksupastarFounder

yeah im looking around, news sites have clips, but not the full video... gay

theremin #274 thereminOG 2002

oh yeh, I had forgotten why I logged in.

does anyone know how to convert DivX file format movies to something editable.. like mpeg or whatever (probably ideally mpeg because I think avi is more limited as far as programs that recognize avi file format... what if I end up taking the stuff I do on Windows and move it to my friend's Mac to continue the work).

what i have is several DivX short movies that I want to be able to cut and piece together... so in order to do that, I'd have to import them into like Windows Movie Maker... but you can't import DivX file format into that program... (probably other programs where you can... but I want to be able to convert the file format to like mpeg for instance, because maybe other movies that I want to use later on for this project will be in avi or mpeg and not divx)

Thanks if you can help me with an working answer.

iwz #274.1 iwz

i haven't done much video editing, but if you just want to do simple things (like cutting), you could just edit the DivX directly with VirtualDub.

tutorials: http://wiki.onlinetvrecorder.com/index.php/Cut_Assistant_(en) or http://www.videohelp.com/oldguides/virtualdubedit

if you want to just convert DivX to MPEG you can use TMPGEnc
tutorial: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/52/59/

theremin #274.1.1 thereminOG 2002

Thing is I want to also use movies in MPEG format to insert scenes.. some movies are MPEG, some are DivX, some might be Avi... and want to use all the movies together.. so need them all in one format.. which I think ideally would be MPEG. Then, once I'm done with the editing, I'll be burning to DVD.

I'll check out that TMPGEnc. Thanks.

superhero #274.2 superheroOG 2004

there's one i use at home, i'll check it out when i get home

theremin #274.2.1 thereminOG 2002

Great, thank you

juicymango #273 juicymangoOG 2003

juicymango #273.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

yeah.

juicymango #273.1.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah the laughing is messed up!!!

btw cloverfield manahawkin 7:50 friday!?!?!?!?!?!?

A
alexOG 2001

oookaaayy...psychooo. he just kept saying "we want to help" over and over again.

what is it that they do exactly?

B
brothermanOG 2004

I don't think he used enough salt with his words. LOL

iwz iwz
B
brothermanOG 2004

I couldn't help but laugh at this.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

scientology is a very sinister con. it's a bizarre sci-fi cult. membership is expensive and you'll be allowed "insight" according to how much you can pay. it's 100% batcrap insane.

theremin thereminOG 2002

It's basically a scam to make people sign over all their finances. They yell nonsense in your face to try and break you down. (some guy at work showed me a YouTube video of that) And, they make you buy expensive equipment that doesn't do anything but sit and look weird. This one Scientology "Church" I saw in London from the sidewalk a few years ago looked like an Internet Cafe. And, it's theories are like based on a sci-fi book that some dude wrote from his imagination. haha. I don't know what the video posted was about... but, I did hear on streaming radio over the Internet like last week that some dude wrote a book about Tom Cruise claiming that Tom's not the father of Katie's baby and that it was from Hubbard's (the Sci-Fi cult's inventor) sperm which was kept for some Scientologist in the future to carry out "his legacy." hahah. Like a so-called Promise Seed. hahaha Funny yet sad stuff.. the things that people believe or just rumor about by writing lies in books. Tom's family claims the only thing that was true in the guy's book about Tom was his name... "Tom." But, hey, Tom's just as crazy believing what he believes. (Or maybe it's just his plan to scam more potential followers and he's just in it for the Hollywood connections... as supposedly this does help you with one's Hollywood career and all... as crazy as a lot of people may perceive them)

B
brothermanOG 2004

I feel dumber after watching this...

theremin thereminOG 2002

Oh no, I missed it! I bet it was Scientology related, wasn't it?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

heh, yeah. he won some scientology award. and he was giving a speech about how he's proud to be a scientologist and how scientologists get things done, etc. it was 100% creepy. google around if you wanna see it.

malibu malibuOG 2001

hahah "i won't hesitate to put ethic on someone else. i put them on myself. get on board."

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah it's so wierd he says a lot about NOTHING - and nowhere on wiki or anything does it actually say WHAT they believe, like what do they believe is "about to happen" is Xenu coming? or what? haha

iwz iwz

i think he basically says nothing because he's speaking to an audience of other scientologists. they already "know" what he's talking about. he also referenced all kinds of scientologist abbreviations and ideas and things that we obviously have no idea about

iwz iwz

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Church of Scientology International

sounds pretty legit! haha

englandkid #272 englandkidOG 2003

grrrrrrrrr ten more minutes!!! im so ready to go home right now!!

tesoro #272.1 tesoroOG 2001

socalgal #272.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

you guys bite! im still here for another 3 hours! lol

tesoro #272.1.1.1 tesoroOG 2001

Ya know, i think frequently when i'm really busy or running late, if i was in CA, i'd have 3 more hours! haha even though, that doesnt actually make sense.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

in some strange way, i totally understood what you meant. lol

socalgal #271 socalgalOG 2003

being out at lunch put me in a better mood. its SO hot out and from here you can see our mountain range all covered in snow. looks like a movie backdrop.

B
#271.1 brothermanOG 2004

Cool. That must be interesting to see while you sweat your rear off.

socalgal #271.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

haha its def awesome to see! well we can go boarding and then an hour later we can be surfing. i love it!

B
#271.1.1.1 brothermanOG 2004

You're like the chicks from Blue Crush, except I think they only surfed.

B
#270 brothermanOG 2004

I'm awesome... I've had breakfast, lunch, and a couple of snacks and only ate 1260 calories.

tesoro #270.1 tesoroOG 2001

Hmm, I've had breakfast, lunch and a snack and that was 450 calories. haha

B
#270.1.1 brothermanOG 2004

Yes, but I am probably two of you. haha

A
#270.2 alexOG 2001

B
#270.2.1 brothermanOG 2004

Oh look, one of the midgets from the Wizard of Oz is trying to act tough...

A
#270.2.1.1 alexOG 2001

yeah, your really tough, with your p.j's and your carb counting. you sound like a chick, dude. you should change your name to "sisterman," or "brotherwoman". then you and all your fellow redsweater carb counting buddies can go have a slumber party, and eat marshmallow peeps, and ice cream right out of the carton,while crying about how no matter how much you work out and diet, you can't lose any weight.

B
brothermanOG 2004

Someone is cranky cuz of their knee I see... Well, when you get to be in your late 20's and older, the metabolism will start to slow down pal. You won't be able to chow down on a White Castle case of burgers anymore without gaining weight.

A
alexOG 2001

i don't think so, son. ive been blessed with good genes. i can eat pretty much whatever i want and not get fat.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

everyone under 30 says that. seriously. wait till your 30...lol

A
alexOG 2001

well my dad is 52 and still in good shape. you should see the way he eats. also my brother and future brother in law are probably two of the biggest slobs i know, and neither of them are fatties. i'm tellin you, i've got good genes.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

member you share em with your mom too. LOL

iwz iwz socalgal

he has good genes, all around. i think he'll pretty much be good no matter what he does.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 iwz

im kidding with him. DUH.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 socalgal

believe me, im all about my fam genes...my mom looks so awesome for her age so im leaning on that to get me through my old age. lol

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

umm, yea, you DO know you and your future brother-in-law do not have the same genes, right? unless you live in like west virginia where you and your brother are also cousins.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 tesoro

hahha i didnt even catch that (bout the bro-in-law). lol

B
brothermanOG 2004

Yeah, too bad Rachel has bigger muscles than you...

A
alexOG 2001 brotherman

well my sister could beat you down if she wanted to, and you never hear her complaining about carbohydrates. why don't you stop whining like a girl about how fat you are and man up.

B
brothermanOG 2004 alex

You're getting beat later.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

Modern-day willy wonka (steve jobs) anounces new apple products today!!

iwz #269.1 iwz

www.apple.com/macbookair

that's a thin laptop

superhero #269.1.1 superheroOG 2004

why no CD-ROM drive? seriously? What if this was your only computer? I guess you could get a USB CD drive ... but for watching a movie on a plane, that makes no sense.

And no replaceable battery? What about in a year and a half when the battery lasts 5 minutes? I kind of understand in a $199 ipod, but in a $1799 laptop, that is ridiculous.

Seriously though, that multi-touch thing is sweet.

iwz #269.1.1.1 iwz

I can see where they're going with that, removing the dvd-drive. I mean, I would much rather go without carting discs around. Just load up your movies onto the hard drive. And with the rentals on iTunes, it looks like they're really making a play for that.

They say on there that the battery isn't replaceable? Uhhhhh that sucks.

superhero superheroOG 2004

i thought so, unless i missed something

rentals on itunes in place of a DVD drive = lame. like i'm going to rent movies i already own to watch on a trip? or i'm going to buy a new dvd of a movie i already own just to get it in iTunes format?

englandkid #268 englandkidOG 2003

My boss brought in Dunkin Donuts yesterday, and all day I resisted them. But today, I find myself alone in the office, so I took a quarter of one. It was disgusting!! I had to throw it out! What a waste of calories! :(

tesoro #268.1 tesoroOG 2001

haha, don't you hate that?! that actually happend about a month ago, the service group always stops at D&D which i hate because there are NO healthy choices. So i broke down and got a donut, and it was so gross! So that gave me the fortitude not to get anything the next time!

englandkid #268.1.1 englandkidOG 2003

yeah, its weird. you would think that since that's what they specialize in, their donuts would be good! Plus I hear that their coffee is really bad, and their breakfast sandwiches are gross too! How are they still in business?

juicymango #268.1.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

fatties heart gross stuff? that's how a lot of places stay in business i think. mcdonalds, etc. grosssssssssss but soooo good to some people.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

haha, ever seen Anthony Bourdain on the travel channel? He goes to all these exotic countries and eats weird stuff like lungs & liver and testicles, and when asked what was the grossiest thing he's ever eaten he said "a chicken nugget". haha

G
#268.1.1.2 gizmoEst. 2006

You gotta get their donuts fresh. Like < 30 minutes after they come out of the oven. They go downhill really quick.

G
gizmoEst. 2006

Of course, that's difficult since most dunkin's don't bake their own donuts anymore. :(

B

tesoro #250.4 tesoroOG 2001

I must've missed our announcement, i was in the bathroom, sopping up blood from my knee. Yea, Monday night, walking into the KH, not wearing stockings cuz it was like 60degrees, 4 inch heels....and i ATE it on the way in tore up my knee pretty bad. I was so embarresed, i didn't even notice the blood running down my leg right away. And better yet, Austin wasn't with me! He had dental work and was all groggy, so i was layed out in the KH parking lot...by myself. lol I wish i had someone with me to laugh w/ me. haha

On another note....Greetings from Pittsburgh!!

g.f.s.rocks #250.4.1 g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

What are you doing in Pittsburgh?

tesoro #250.4.1.1 tesoroOG 2001

Austin had a meeting w/ a builder, his company is doing the drywall for a new LA fitness. So i tagged along and took advantage of the hotel/facilities. :)

fivezero #250.4.2 fivezeroOG 2003

theremin #250.5.1 thereminOG 2002

Gonna be so weird having it at Turnersville. I wanted to go to New York after Convention too. Guess I'll have to settle for going to Philly afterwards.

thatdarngirl #250.5.2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Mine's July 4-6th at Turnersville. Where is this Turnersville and what is there that an assembly is being held in?

fivezero #250.5.2.1 fivezeroOG 2003

It's a legit assembly hall in Blackwood, NJ. Holds 1500 or so. Not too far from Philly. It's really nice.

Quite a hike for you North Jersey folk.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I will not be a North Jersey folk at the time, anymore. I will be living in Eatontown or somewhere in the LongBranch area.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Oh, that's right. A hour and half drive southward for you.

#248 brothermanOG 2004

I used an online calorie calculator and a guy who is 6'-3" and 230lbs like myself should take in 3250 calories. So I'm making an excel spreadsheet of what I eat throughout the day, to make sure I am eating less than that to spark fat loss. 210-215lbs is my ideal weight range. So I could probably get down to that in less than a month.

iwz #248.1 iwz

check out www.fitday.com

they help you keep track of your intake, and exercise. graphs, logs, all that. they also have a decent catalog of the nutrition facts from lots of things you eat.

B
#248.1.1 brothermanOG 2004

Is that what you use to dictate how many fattening snacks you can eat without turning into a balloon? LOL!

iwz #248.1.1.1 iwz

that's the beautiful thing about it.. balloons deflate if you fill them up too much. i'm working towards that goal.

So I just got these headphones yesterday http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000065BPB/ref=nosim/0076-20 (got them for $65, such an awesome deal)

They are amazing. I've been completely re-experiencing lots of my favorite music. So far I've listened to Radiohead's new album, Sigur Ros, some of The Joshua Tree Remastered, Sufjan Stevens, and a few hip-hop songs.

MAAAAN. So good. I keep hearing new things in all of these songs, and unfortunately I'm not getting much work done because I keep zoning out listening to the music. Gotta listen to some classical on these.

Good headphones are just amazing. It kills me when I see people using their white iPod headphones. Those things are such such crap.

juicymango #243 juicymangoOG 2003

i have been working out like crazy for the past month and a half and watching what i eat... and yesterday i went to get some new black pants for work anddddddddd yeah NOTHING fit, i'm between two sizes, at EVERY single store. One size is too small, the next is too big. EVERY single store in the mall. I tried on like eight million pairs of pants.

Yeah and then i went home and dyed my hair black as a .. i duno.. rebellion against myself? haha.

ahhh good times

Oh and NO it does not mean i'm losing weight I am actually between two HIGHER sizes than what I was a month and a half ago before i started working out.

FUN!!!!!

tesoro #243.1 tesoroOG 2001

Well, i've been working out hardcore for 9 days in a row now. (hardcore for me is 30mins high intensity cardio, 30mins circuit training) and i haven't lost a pound on the scale, which is discouraging, cuz i'm dieting also, and when i just diet and don't excersise i drop weight quicker, but it MUST be the whole muscle thing, right? Cuz pants i just bought two weeks ago are loose on me, woohoo!

juicymango #243.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

yeah i gained 5 pounds, on the scale, since i joined the gym

and i don't think the diet i was doing is working, i think i need to just stop eating altogether

tesoro #243.1.1.1 tesoroOG 2001

I've been doing weight watchers, which works really well for me. Plus, you get 35 extra points for the week, that you can use if you want, but i haven't been using them to increase the weight loss.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

I'm going to the beach in T-minus 40 days, so i'm doing everything i can to lose at least 10 lbs by then.

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

You will hate me... but I lost close to 15 pounds this past month and wasn't even trying... now Im trying to gain the weight back but without the junk food...

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

Agh! Men....Austin goes to the gym for like a week after not going for like a year, and already has a 6-pack practically. So irritating!! lol

malibu malibuOG 2001

women are supposed to have so much more body fat because they need it to carry babies. i'd just like to give it back or put it in reserve somewhere with a note that says "yeah i won't be needing this. please keep it off me."

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

lol

B
#243.1.2 brothermanOG 2004

It's not about losing lbs, but about losing fat. If you like how you look in the mirror, that's what counts.

juicymango #243.1.2.1 juicymangoOG 2003

well then no i don't like my muffin top

and yeah my arms are getting buff, even like my abs are getting a little thinner but my actual waist is totally not

and my workouts are an hour or more every time, (weights and cardio) like 5 times a week

the past week, chris and I hiked a 5 mile trail, TWICE

and i've been doing the 2-hour diet type thing, eat something small and nutritius every 2-3 hours. yeah it's not working.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

it's supposed to keep your metabolism going. but. apparently. it is also keeping me fat. COOL

iwz iwz

i have a really good diet regimen that i use... it involves lots of snacks throughout the day. i posted it in brotherman's workout news story a while back. maybe it would work for you!

*banana twinkies are not as good as they sound

B
brothermanOG 2004

Your workout is similar to the George Burns life-style. Live to 100 while smoking cigars everyday. Us people that go to the gym will probably die of a brain tumor at age 50.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

you could be stressing your body out. one trainer told me that sometimes you could be working out TOO much and stress your body out and thats why you're not losing the l-b's.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

i really don't think i'm working out too much

it's like an hour, 4 or 5 times a week

not.. you know.. 5 hours, twice a day lol i duno i really just want to give up and be humongous i think

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

maybe the hour a day is too much. work out a half hour or 45 mins instead of the full hour and see if that works.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

"i really just want to give up and be humongous i think"

That's so my plan.

B
brothermanOG 2004

Try mixing the exercises up. Your muscles/body will get used to certain exercises unless you mix it up. That is what I try to do.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yep. i do that.

B
brothermanOG 2004

Then maybe your diet needs to be adjusted more since your body could be used to it, thereby keeping you at a plateau.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah, i'm gonna stop eating

B
brothermanOG 2004

Haha... Good idea.

Do you eat late at night? That has negative effects from what I hear.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

nope. i do everything "right" heh. And yeah this morning, whooptee doo i gained another 2 pounds, overnight, and i ate LESS yesterday, and i worked out for 45 minutes.

Awesome.

B
brothermanOG 2004 juicymango

Hmmm... I work out for an hour and a half. I hit the weights hard for an hour then end with cardio. Your heart is already moving at a good rate after the weights, so you're already burning calories off the bat when you finish with cardio. Try that, except you're a girl, use light weight. Or, just don't eat. haha...

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

yeah i don't usually go above 10 or 15 pound dumbells, i just do more reps to failure, i don't want to bulk up

A
alexOG 2001 juicymango

this makes no sense. i think someone is playing psychological mind games with you. adding weight to your scale and what not. either that or your sleep walking and eating in your sleep.

rocksupastar #242.1 rocksupastarFounder

you use firefox or IE?

Firefox is View --> Text Size --> then decrease it.

IE is View --> Text Size --> Set back to Medium.

iwz #242.1.1 iwz

Firefox is View --> Text Size --> then decrease increase it. (or hit ctrl-0)

B
#241 brothermanOG 2004

So, changing my diet and study habits has done wonders. I feel awesome. Last night before the mtg while I cooked dinner, I did the bible reading. Yay for multi-tasking. Hehe... And I've only worked out once this year after a week, but I've still lost at least 5 pounds. Imagine once I work out more, the benefits! Oh and I finally got an answer on my working from home plan. My boss agreed to let me have Tues and Thurs to work from home. So I am excited! Now I can run over to the gym during lunch time and workout. I could potentially do a 5-6 day per week work out program. Also, I won't have to rush around to get to the mtgs on those days and I will save money on gas.

iwz #241.1 iwz

awesome, bro! sounds like a good week, so far :)

B
#241.1.1 brothermanOG 2004

Thanks. Just have to keep things consistent all-around and stay positive.
