Drew didn't win, but Cesaro finally brought it home at Wrestlemania in his first solo match in 10 years on the big stage. So I'm happy as hell.

[seriouslycromulent]

That Curb Stomp reversal into Swiss Death was damn beautiful.

TPN soundtrack

I’ve been listening to the OST very frequently again due to season 2 now being delayed until 2021 and.. hm, recent manga events. Some songs are very memorable to the point where I can see the anime scene in my head, while others had me think a bit more until a certain scene clicked. Even after re-watching the entire first season multiple times over the past year, there were still a handful of tracks from the OST that I didn't recognize at all. So, I spent an entire night watching all 12 of those episodes (yet again, because what else am i to do during this quarantine) to find where these songs might be hiding. I took note of all of the tracks actually, even those that went unused after some digging around.. and this is the result.

TPN (Epf solo Version): ???

Unused. Played in the drama CD though, apparently?

Bonus. If you thought the lullaby was played more, then you're not entirely wrong. Many of the tracks include the same melody:

Isabella's Lullaby [all of it, of course]

Emma's Sorrow [once from 0:24, (maybe again in the middle i think?) and then 2:02]

63194 (Emma's theme) [1:35 - 2:12]

TPN (Main theme 1 & 2) [once from 1:08, then again from 2:18, and finally 3:30]

Emma's Agony [the entire song is like a slowed down version]

Isabella's Lullaby (no vocal version) [all of it]

TPN (Pf solo version) [all of it]

Prison Break [once from 0:51 then again after 1:45]

Emma's Determination [slightly at 0:26, more noticeable at 1:28]

Isabella's Lullaby (Mandolin version) [all of it]

Ray's Retaliation [1:26 - 2:18]

TPN (Epf solo version) [all of it]

So, there we go. Perhaps others might find this as interesting as I did. If not, then no big deal. It allowed me to watch season one again, so I can't complain. The wait for next season might have grown longer, but  that shall not stop me from talking about the anime. Here's hoping we can hear those unused tracks in future seasons as well.

MARKER NUMBER EIGHTEEN Charles Town The Scene of Many En- gagements. After Gen. William E. Jones had left New Market on his West Virginia raid in May, 1863, Lieutenant G. B. Phill- pott and Captain R. P. Chew gathered together about 45 men of Company "Q", and crossing the mountain, went down the Luray Valley through Front Royal, crossing the Shenandoah river at Myers Ford about 11 o'clock at night, May loth. They pursued their way to Tate's woods, about three quarters of a mile from Charles Town. They dismounted here and tied their horses, and marched behind the house of Andrew Hunter, down the back street. Thence in front of Hawks' Factory to George and turning moved in the direction of the Court House. Phillpott and Chew reached the old cattle scales where a sentinel challenged them and raised his gun. They both fired on him and he fled into the Court House yard and fell. Summers' Company was quartered in the Court House and the Carter House. They numbered about ninety men. A lieutenant and ten men stationed in the parlor of the Carter House opened fire upon us as soon as Phillpott and Chew fired upon the sentry. They kept up a constant fussilade. It had been arranged that Lieutenant J. W. Carter of Chew's Battery should attack and capture the soldiers in the Carter House. He was assigned six men for this pur- pose. When the Company reached the corner of the Court House yard, Carter with his men moved swiftly up the walk in front of the Court House, and crossing the street oppo- site the Carter House threw open the hall door and entered the parlor. Striking the lieutenant over the head with the butt of his pistol he demanded a surrender. The guard threw down their arms and were taken prisoners. In the meantime Phillpott and Chew, with the remain- ing men, had entered the Court House and captured, with- out trouble, the balance of the company of Capt. Summers. Summers, who happened to be out at the time of the attack, hid in the wood pile of Major Hawks, whose house was nearby. The horses in the hotel stable were captured, and the men were mounted with the prisoners behind them. Summers company numbered about ninety men, sixty of whom were captured with their arms, and about seventy five horses. Returning through Tate's woods the prisoners were mounted on the broken down horses, and at daylight the whole party recrossed the river at Myers' Ford. This capture was made without a single man being killed or wounded on either side. The Federals seemed dazed by the night attack and offered but feeble resistence. On October 18, 18(38, Gen. John D. Imboden marched to the vicinity of Charles Town for the purpose of captur- ing the enemy, who were posted there in large force. The 9th Maryland Regiment of Infantry and Capt, Summer's Cavalry Company were quartered, the first in the Court House, and the latter in the Jail. Imboden formed a line of battle on the Hanson farm west of the town, and extending his line to the east to the Kabletown road. He located a battery near the house of Robert Brown but found, after firing a few shots, he could not reach the Court House. He then extended his line across the Harpers Ferry road to the farm of James M. Rauson, and placing his gun on the hill novth of town fired several shots through the Court House. The enemy immediately evacuated the Court House and attempted a retreat towards Harpers Perry but were intercepted by the Confederates and the entire command captured, excepting Summers' company which effected its escape towards Leetown. He then commenced to retreat by the pike to Berry - ville. He was pursued by a large force of the enemy and had a number of engagements between that point and Rip- pon. Here he formed in line to check the advance of the enemy and a serious engagement took place in which a number of men on both sides were killed and wounded. The enemy discontinued their pursuit at that point and Imboden retreated unmolested with his prisoners and cap- tures. AN ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT OF BAYLOR'S COM- PANY AT CHARLES TOWN, NOVEMBER 29, 1864. By Captain George Baylor. On the night of the 29th of November, 1804, with JJO men of Company B, we attacked the camp of the Twelfth Pennsylvania Cavalry at Charles Town. Passing through the enemy's picket line, through a hollow just east of town, under cover of a fog such as usually hangs on autumn nights over the little valleys near the river and unobserved by the sentry on the adjacent hills, we reached in safety the north side of the town and the rear of the enemy's camp, and rode quietly to a point near the block house, about twenty jards from the camp. Here the men dis- mounted, leaving the horses in charge of the fourth man in each file of fours, and noiselessly gained the block house. Steathily moving on, the sleeping camp was entered, and the occupants awoke to find themselves prisoners. There was sudden confusion and scampering among the enemy. Some twenty of their number, lodged in a stone house nearby, opened fire on us. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, we rushed upon the house, and, seizing the doors and windows, poured several volleys into the build- ing. Just as George Crayton, my brother Robert W. Bay- lor, Jr. (a boy of seventeen) and myself entered the door, several shots were fired by the inmates, one mortally injur- ing my brother and another severely injuring Crayton. After a few minutes the cry of surrender came from the group huddled together in the building, and the firing ceased. My brother and Crayton were removed to the house of Dr. Mason, who had been for years our family physician, and where I knew they would be well cared for. My brother died in a few hours, but Crayton rallied for a while and died soon after the close of the war. The loss of these two gallant soldiers was deeply deplored by their comrades, and especially by myself. In this engagement we killed and wounded 11 of the enemy, captured 27 pris- oners and 37 horses and equipments. It seems a little strange in the light of recent publica- tion of the War Records that success attended us in this attack, for we find that as early as November 23d, the day after the attack at Keyes' Ford, General Sheridan dispatch- ed General Stevenson at Harpers Ferry as follows: KERNSTOWN, VA., NOVEMBER 23, 1H64. General: It is reported that Major Congdon, of the Twelfth Pennsylvania Cavalry, reports the enemy in force at or near Charles Town. Find out if he has made this un- truthful report. If the Twelfth Pennsylvania Cavalry can- not keep that country clear of guerillas, I will take the shoulder straps off every officer belonging to the regiment and dismount the regiment in disgrace. P. H. SHERIDAN, Major-General. And on the 2Hth of the same month he wires the com- manding officer at Charles Town: KERNSTOWN, VA., NOVEMBER 2*, 1*(>4. Commanding Officer, Charlestown, Va. Lookout for Mosby tonight. P. H. SHERIDAN, Major-General. And Captain Paine, Commanding the Twelfth Penn- sylvania on the night of the attack in his report, says: I have the honor to report that in accordance with in- formation of yesterday, our reserve post was attacked by the rebels last night between the hours of 1 1 and 12 o'clock. killing two men, wounding one, and capturing five of our men and H) horses. The enemy lost in killed, one man (a young Baylor) and three wounded. They were about 200 strong, and attacked the post from different directions, dismounted. They were commanded by a Major. Lieuten- ant Baylor was also with them, as his name was frequently mentioned by them at the time of the attack. NATHANIEL PAYNE, Captain Commanding. LIEUTENANT S. F. ADAMS, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, Harpers Ferry, W. Va. The eyes of the Captain on that night evidently had large magnifying powers when viewing our little band of 30 men, and corresponding minimizing powers when re- counting his loss on that occasion. He was afraid of Gen- eral Sheridan's threat. After the fight at Charles Town, we retired to the neighborhood of Milldale, and got rid of our prisoners and booty. The enemy, it seems, took a scout around, as usual after a fight, and reported as follows : Headquarters Second Cavalry Division, December 1, 1864. Major William Russell, Jr., Assistant Adjutant General Cavalry: Major: The reconnoissance sent out yesterday under Major T. Gibson, Fourteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, has re- turned, having thoroughly scouted the country between Milldale and Summit Point to near Charles Town. No enemy was seen. Mosby was reported to have been in Berryville on the 29th. Baylor, who commanded the party of rebels which fought the Twelfth Pennsylvania Cavalry at Charles Town, was killed, with one man. The party dispersed after the fight. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, WM. B. TIBBITTS, Brevet Brigadier General Commanding. 34

The Basics: 

16 individuals drafted every main show match in WrestleMania history (along with Neville vs Austin Aries from WrestleMania 33 to keep things even). This gives each person a total of 20 matches selected. The draft was conducted snake style so the individual that had the 16th pick in the draft also had the 17th pick to start round two. Each round will have an individual post leading up to WrestleMania 34 and the draft will culminate in our own Mel Kiper (Brad Woodling) giving his opinions and draft grades for how each person did overall. Place to Be Nation will also be able to vote on their favorite draft overall.

Round 3:

Pick #33: Hulk Hogan & Mr. T vs Roddy Piper & Paul Orndorff (WrestleMania 1) – Selected by J Arsenio D’Amato

A historic match that changed the business and started the WrestleMania machine.

Pick #34: Rock & Sock vs Evolution (WrestleMania 20) – Selected by Todd Weber

I break one of my draft guidelines IMMEDIATELY and double-dip Rocky here with my 3rd pick. This match was a blast to watch, and it brought some of my all-time favorites (all of them current or guaranteed future WWE Hall-of-Famers) together in a memorable contest. Worth it just to get Flair and Foley on my card, as there just aren’t that many of their appearances out there.

Pick #35: The Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather (WrestleMania 24) – Selected by Stacey O’Louglin

This is my spectacle match – it’s one of the biggest (hyuk hyuk) celebrity matches ever, and also the best celebrity match ever. Floyd is perfect in his role, Show carries it beautifully, and they get so much out of every moment in the match. This is boatloads of fun from start to finish, and adds variety, star power and quality.

Pick #36: Triple H vs The Undertaker (WrestleMania 28) – Selected by Greg Phillips

The best of their three WrestleMania encounters, this match has it all – epic drama, a years-long rivalry, and the inclusion of Shawn Michaels as the guest referee. It also contains one of the great nearfalls in WWE history. It may be divisive, but it’s a stone cold classic in my book.

  Pick #37: Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart (WrestleMania 12) – Selected by Nick Duke

Here’s where I deviate from many other participants in several respects. First, I did not approach this project as an attempt to build an actual card that would play out in a single night, meaning I had no issue with repeating performers or titles in my draft. Second, I’ve always believed that the Iron Man match is a top 15 match in Mania history so I was pretty happy to see it still available in the 3rd round.

  Pick #38: CM Punk vs The Undertaker (WrestleMania 29) – Selected by Andy LaBar

Andy Pick: #3          Overall Pick: #38

It honestly blew my mind that this match was still available to pick at #38. It was the 6th Undertaker match drafted overall (both HBK matches, Batista, Edge and WM 28), but for my money, it rivals the HBK matches as his best Mania match, and I am pretty comfortable having it among his 5 best matches ever. At this point in his career, Undertaker was a “mega-match” machine, working a couple of matches each year, getting 4+ from Meltzer and defying old-body logic by giving his all. CM Punk is not quite on top of the world, but he’s still a tip-top personality, still fiery in the ring and still the undersized, over-egoed wrestler who you can BELIEVE could be the man to finally beat Taker. This match is great – from a pure workrate standpoint, the highlight of my entire card, and the fact that it’s not a main event or title match even improves it in my eyes. You watch this and you are gonna be HYPED for what comes after (even if it can’t live up to this match).

  Pick #39: The British Bulldogs vs The Dream Team (WrestleMania 2) – Selected by Steven Ferrari

I have an irrational love for this match. It was the match that got me into tag team wrestling as a kid. Plus, it has Ozzy yelling “BRITISH BULLDOGS FOREVERRRRRRRR!”

Pick #40: Shawn Michaels vs Steve Austin (WrestleMania 14) – Selected by Jordan Duncan

One of my plans going into the draft was to make sure I get a high tier World Title match. While others may surpass this one in quality, it is iconic, has the Mike Tyson appearance and is the passing of the torch from Michaels to Austin, who was perhaps the hottest act in company history.

Pick #41: Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar (WrestleMania 33) – Selected by Aaron George

I wanted something that would draw in round 3, before all the legit draws got snapped up. Easily the best sub-five minute match ever at WrestleMania. These guys just went out and KILLED one another. Another intense, personal feud that was capped with a smash-mouth match that would make the XFL bleed with jealousy. They popped a crowd nearly seven hours into a show. They’ll kill it on my card.

Match time:    5 Mins

Show Time :   39 Mins

  Pick #42: The Undertaker vs Ric Flair (WrestleMania 18) – Selected by Neil Trama

With my draft goals pretty clear, I knew I wanted to nab an actual good Undertaker match and I knew that I couldn’t wait too much longer or risk getting stuck with Mark Henry or King Kong Bundy or some crud along those lines, so I took this sneaky classic.

  Pick #43: Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon (WrestleMania 19) – Selected by Scott Criscuolo

A match I really love simply because it had no business being as good as it was. Two 50-something year old guys who are in essence part time workers go all out and even bleed to put on an epic match on the biggest stage.

  Pick #44: Money in the Bank (WrestleMania 21) – Selected by Brian Bayless

This was the inaugural Money in the Bank Ladder Match, a brand new concept that saw the winner receive a contract for a future title shot. This particular match ended up exceeding all expectations and then some. It was an incredible spectacle that was successful to the point it was brought back for several more WrestleMania shows until it became the headline match of its own yearly PPV. If this match tanked its likely the concept would have been scrapped altogether.

  Pick #45: The Rock vs Steve Austin (WrestleMania 15) – Selected by Chad Campbell

I was eyeing a double main event and wanted this match to have some quality to it in ring to offset Hogan vs Andre. Rock vs Austin from Mania 15 fit this criteria the best. A putrid card but a main event that I think has been underrated over time even though it probably still is the worst of their three Mania matches. This encapsulated the good of the attitude era and had a feel good ending with Austin regaining the title and Vince’s golden boy being defeated.

Pick #46: Money in the Bank (WrestleMania 23) – Selected by Tim Capel

The MITB matches confer a ton of value, and the one I had earmarked was nabbed just two picks above me. I went with my second-favorite, and a pretty glorious clusterfuck at that. It gives me a swath of talent I wasn’t sure would be otherwise represented and a staple WrestleMania gimmick match.

  Pick #47: Hulk Hogan vs Sgt. Slaughter (WrestleMania 7) – Selected by JT Rozzero

As a whole, I feel WrestleMania VII is undervalued so when I had a chance to nab another big time title match at the end of round three, I jumped at it. It gave me a big Hulk Hogan match and moment and a damn good in ring battle.

  Pick #48: The Undertaker vs Kane (WrestleMania 14) – Selected by Jennifer Smith

Undertaker is another one of those guys I knew of from my lapsed fandom and I remember liking him.  This match was listed fairly highly on the PTBN article Ranking the Streak- The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

The 1 Change This Woman Made to Drop Those Last 10 Pounds

The struggle to lose weight is very real, so you'll completely relate to Wendy Mehaffey's story. This 37-year-old chiropractor and mother of two was fed up with carrying around that extra 10 pounds. She had tried losing the weight before, but what she was doing wasn't making a big enough impact. Here's how she finally did something about it.

Wendy: Before

POPSUGAR: What was your daily diet like? Any off-limits foods? Was it different on the weekend?

Wendy Mehaffey: I always felt like I made healthy choices for the majority of my meals. I stay away from soda and sweets. My downfall comes in the form of bagels/breads/rice. I am a carbavore, and that's always been something I've had to work at. I would treat myself to Starbucks two to three times a week for a latte, too! However, my main issue was portion control. I would eat more than I should, going back for a little extra on most occasions. I never restricted any foods from my diet and believe in moderation. But it doesn't matter when you're eating two servings at each meal how healthy it is. It still adds up.

Now, I stick very tightly to portioning out my meals. Every meal goes into my portion containers (the same ones from the 21-Day Fix). I felt the most confident when I measured out my lunches and dinners. I preplanned each meal, as to not make bad/wrong choices when I was hungry and needing something quick on the fly. This made it a foolproof plan. I was extremely strict six days per week. On the seventh day, I allowed myself a cheat day. This way, I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything that I may have craved (similar to the Body For Life). Here's an example of a typical day's meal plan:

ADVERTISEMENT

//<![CDATA[ if (typeof SUGAR.Video != 'undefined' && !(true && ONSUGAR.UserProfile.getUserDevice() !== "desktop")) { var options = { 'container' : 'sugar-player-preview', 'primary' : 'html5', 'wrapper': 'video-ad-player', 'file': '/static/ads/blank_ad_placeholder.mp4', 'video_ad': true, 'firePixels' : false, 'pixelZero' : null, 'pixelFifteen' : null, 'cpvURLs' : null, 'cpvAllNodes' : null, 'jwPlayer' : jwplayer, 'advertising' : { 'client' : 'googima', 'skipoffset' : null }, 'jwPlayerKey' : 'Sarh0KbBU1hM7iRWMaEoV/15S5DIU8O1MqN0nA==', 'fwParamOverride' : null, 'gaTrackerName' : null, 'skin' : { 'name': 'seven', 'active': '#24c4f8' }, 'width' : '100%', 'aspectratio' : '16:9', 'is_responsive' : true, 'debug' : false, 'autostart' : false, 'mute' : true, 'pid' : null, 'repeat' : false, 'volume' : 0, 'startIndex' : 0, 'isMobile' : false, 'flashPlugins' : null, 'html5Plugins' : null, 'modules' : [ { 'module': SUGAR.Video.Modules.GoogleDFP, 'config': { 'iu': "5485\/US\/popsugar\/fitness\/article\/outstream", 'hl': 'en', 'pos': 'outstream', 'nid': '37980499', 'tags': '["Weight Loss","Diet Tips","Before and After Weight Loss","Weight Loss"]' } } ], 'playlist' : null }; SUGAR.dispatcher.push([function () {window.sugar_player = new SUGAR.Video.Player(options);}]); } //]]>

Breakfast: Three egg whites, one egg, three pieces of turkey sausage

Snack: Protein shake (GNC natural whey protein powder natural chocolate flavor mixed with water) and a piece of fruit

Lunch: Broiled veggies (a mix of broccoli, squash, green beans, zucchini, onions, mushrooms) with either grilled chicken or ground turkey

Snack: Zone Perfect Protein bar (all-time fave is Chocolate Mint) and 10 to 12 nuts

Dinner: Grilled turkey burger (no bun) on salad or grilled chicken with steamed veggies, and occasionally wine or beer

When I would get a sweet craving, I would have a strawberry. Works like a charm!

PS: What was your workout schedule?

WM: I love running, and I play ice hockey. I typically maintain 15 to 18 miles per week. When the Spring approached, I increased mileage since I've always been a fair-weather runner. By this Summer, I was up to 30 miles per week, which was also a big help. I have a great neighborhood filled with moms who love to run. One of my neighbors suggested we start running together at 6 a.m. a few times a week [that was me, BTW!]. It's been fantastic! Very motivational to know there is someone waiting for you to run with. You can't let them down so you drag yourself there, and when you're done, you feel great! It was an easy way to boost my mileage and get my workouts in without taking away from my family and work responsibilities.

Wendy: After

PS: How long did it take you to lose the weight?

WM: I decided to start with the portion control and clean eating about four months ago. It took me about 2.5 months to lose 10 pounds (I've lost 20 in total).

PS: How did you stay motivated? Did you have a goal?

WM: There are two things that have kept me motivated. One is a post from a friend on Facebook. She said something to the effect of, "I'm sick of not giving things 100 percent." This resonated with me. I would always make excuses of why I would not wake up early to work out. I went to bed late, or my kids were up all night, or a million other excuses. I wasn't even giving it 50 percent! I was just full of excuses. They all sounded so legitimate at the time. Also, another friend said something to me that has also stuck. I hear it every time I'm feeling weak and wanting some food that might take me off track. He told me, "I think you look great, but you must not be serious about losing weight if you're not doing what it takes to lose it." That has been huge for my motivation. I completely agree with it! It's not easy, but it's worth the way I feel to forgo the extra scoop of dinner. My goal was to feel and look like the mom I always envisioned I would be. I am finally there!

Wendy: After

PS: How are you maintaining your weight?

WM: I still use the measuring cups to portion out my food. I feel like if I didn't, portions would be getting a little larger and a little larger and I would run into the same problem again of overeating portion sizes. So this way I know that I don't have to question myself. I still stay away from carbs at lunch and dinner, but I have added back in a few more calories. I will put avocado and cheese on my salad, and I have added in nuts with my afternoon snack. And I still incorporate my cheat day.

PS: Any advice for other women trying to drop those last 10 pounds?

WM: We all have a bunch of excuses that all seem so real in our heads. We don't have the time, we didn't sleep enough, we have to get up too early, etc. If you can just commit to doing it — 100 percent this time — you'll find it feels AMAZING. It's also important to have a supportive network of friends. Find some neighbors or an exercise group that you can be held accountable with.
