It could be any canon they'd like, even their own interpretations, and I think so far all of the artists are having a lot of fun with it. I'm SUPER lucky to have already gotten such amazing contributions from Eric Canete, Cassandra Poulson, Mad Rupert, Ming Doyle, Jackie Lewis, Scott C., and Becky Cloonan.

Saints Roll Past Flagler, Win Seventh Straight
– The North Georgia men's basketball team rolled on to
another win on Thursday evening, traveling to Flagler College and
taking care of business with a 72-53 victory in the battle of the
Saints in Peach Belt Conference action.
North Georgia continues to impress, winning their seventh straight overall, and fifth straight on the road, improving to 12-6 overall and 7-1 in the Peach Belt Conference. Flagler continues to struggle, falling to 7-10 overall and 2-6 in their first season in the league.
With the victory, the Saints post their first seven-game winning streak since the 2004-05 season where they won eight straight, and are currently on their longest winning streak since entering the NCAA and the Peach Belt Conference five seasons ago.
Flagler led the first half until the 10:41 mark when North Georgia erased a five-point deficit and took their first lead since the opening minute with a bucket from Kindall Butler to take a 19-18 advantage. North Georgia continued to extend their lead, using a 15-0 run to create their first double-digit lead of the game at 28-18 with 6:30 remaining.
Faulkner's Saints led by as many as 13 points twice during the first half before holding a 10-point lead at the half. To open the second half, North Georgia continued to hold a comfortable lead and used a pair of free throws by Michael Moynihan at the 15:38 mark to take a 10-point advantage as the Saints led by double-digits the rest of the way.
North Georgia continued to pull away down the stretch and held Flagler scoreless the final two minutes of the game to take a 19-point road victory in St. Augustine.
Bernard Rimmer paced the Saints with 18 points on 7-15 shooting from the floor, while Michael Moynihan followed with 14 points, and Kindall Butler and Andrew Bennett tallied a dozen points apiece.
North Georgia shot 42.6 percent from the floor, 25 percent from long range, and 66.7 percent from the free throw line, while Flagler was 36.7 percent from the field, 30 percent from the behind the arc, and 63.6 percent from the charity stripe.
The Saints return to action on Saturday afternoon, traveling to Armstrong Atlantic for another Peach Belt Conference battle with the Pirates. Tip-off is slated for 3:30 p.m. in Alumni Arena.

The "Chopper" Is Good, But Not The Steak – I always order the "Chopper" with a sweet potato on the side - yes, I'm a creature of habit! It's basically an oval-shaped patty topped with melted cheese and real bacon bits. It costs $2-3 extra to substitute a side with a sweet potato, which comes with a honey pecan butter...mmm!
The sourdough bread is pretty good and so is the all-you-can-eat salad that comes with every meal. However, DH is not too impressed with the steaks at Cattlemens...you can get a much better steak at the Riata Diner & Tavern in downtown Livermore!
We're always too full for dessert when we eat there, but had been eyeing the "Pete's Pan Cookie" because it resembled BJ's "Famous Pizookie" so we went there "just for dessert" a while ago. UGH! It was the WORST dessert I've EVER had! Seriously...the "cookie" was so hard, my fork could only penetrate the top layer! I ate the ice cream and just left the "Pan Cookie". Didn't know that meant the cookie would be as hard as a pan!
Review – Excellent food, very nice waitress, cool western atmosphere, not to mention the freshiest coffee ever. I will eat here again

I was alone, during the time of my divorce. Though there were a few close friends, but I needed a confidant who will understand by problems and act accordingly. I decided to go for a reputed divorce lawyer who would understand my problem and get me my right. A few reasons for all those who wish to get hold of a lawyer.
A support for an emotionally weak person
Legal help is obviously a necessity, but specialist lawyers also offer emotional help to their clients while dealing with their case. We feel the need of a person who would listen to our worries, problems, stress and concerns. A lawyer would be the ideal person in such cases. Those things which you cannot tell your partner can be vented out before your lawyer.
Knowing the divorce laws fully
Divorce lawyers know the divorce laws completely. They have been in the practice for quite some time and they know the rights of the people. Also, the changing rules and regulations are very difficult to keep track off. They know it all and will become your voice to protect your rights and offer you the scope to protect your right and claim your independence.

So I posted some images on my gallery, and there is a statistic that says "Battle wins". What that's mean? Are my images used as gladiators or what?
There is something called Art Battles that people can do. Random pictures are pitted against each other and the voter chooses the one they like.
Oh I see, but there are also pictures of people or screen shots of series. Does also count in the battle?
lol, what if a picture of yourself was defeated by a random impossible to understand doodle?
It's all just for fun. The Battle Wins only tell you what you won but you don't see who it was battling against so the only person that knows if your art wins (or loses) against the doodle is the one who voted.
Yeah I can see that, I also see you can rates others people's art. Which bring me this question, what happen with art that wasn't made by that person? there are a lot of art works that are just pictures of user's or art work made by other's, how should this work with art rating?
You can though I will eventually be deleting art not made by members.
I have refrence pictures I have scanned it so that people could see what I was looking at. Will that be deleted?
My CC thread - Updated 01/30/14
My AA thread - Updated 03/04/14
i have an album about pictures that i didn't made and indicated the name "not my drawings" will that be deleted?

Thoughts on Capriati, year-end championships, Date-Krumm
Story Highlights
There are more people rooting for Jennifer Capriati now than at any time before
An idea for season-ending championships would be to rotate a surface in one city
Roger Federer/greatest of all time question is unanswerable but worth debating
I wrestled with whether to address this or ignore, but a few of you referenced this, so here goes:
The other night, I received an unsettling, confusing Twitter message from Jennifer Capriati. After putting together some pieces, it seems that she was upset about an unflattering story that Tennis.com, among other sites, had published. I had retweeted the item without doing any independent reporting -- a peril of this social media era, in which stories circulate with one keystroke. (Capriati disputed the facts, and it was a story of a personal nature, so I'm not going to dignify it with a link. Rev up Google if you must, but consider the source as well as her vigorous denial.)
I think/hope I've made my thoughts on Capriati clear. Here's what I wrote a few months ago about her Hall of Fame candidacy, and I stand by it: "The game -- the institution of tennis -- beat her up. Emotionally on the front end; physically on the back. The least we could do is give her some immortality."
Some other time we can debate where and how intensely to point fingers. But for now maybe we can agree on this: Capriati is a celebrity, a curiosity, an embodiment of precocious talent, burnout, too-much-too-soon, a courageous comeback. So much so that she is a source of curiosity, a full quarter century after her breakthrough. That's just reality. By the same token, she ought to know that her legion of supporters greatly outnumber those who "slaughter and humiliate" her (her words). I suspect there are more people rooting for her now than at any time in her playing career. Like so many, we wish her well, post-tennis. Lord knows, she deserves it.
I saw a quote from Toni Nadal suggesting that the year-end Masters should be rotated among different surfaces, rather than always on hard courts. I think that idea is very interesting, as the year-end captures the best tennis results from multiple surfaces. Has this idea been proposed?
-- Jim, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
• As recently as several years ago, the ATP rotated the site of the season-ending cotillion each year. I don't like the idea of changing sites every year. But if London or Shanghai (or Brooklyn, for that matter) wanted a multiyear deal, and there was a condition that the host rotated the surface? I'd co-sign that, as the kids say. There does seem to be something democratic about varying the surface.
I know that you like Homeland, as do I. If Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray -- the so-called Big Four -- were all CIA agents, who would be the first to catch Nicholas Brody?
-- Thomas, Washington, D.C.
• First, let's get our facts straight. I liked Homeland. Past tense. But more on that in a second. We're always game for fielding offbeat questions, especially during that short interregnum when there are no ATP or WTA events. (Oh, what's that? They're still playing the 2012 season? And in some time zones, the 2013 season is already under way? Scratch that.) Anyway, I would say a combo of the Big Four would take down Brody, no problem -- just combine Federer's diplomatic tact with Nadal's physical presence, Djokovic's tenacity and Murray's ... um, intangibles.
But indulge me a quick riff on Homeland. You know how when marginal tennis players make an unexpected run at a tournament, we love to talk about their adjustments and improvisation? They had to buy new underwear because they ran out! They had to change their flights! They had to stay at a KOA campground because they booked only a few nights at the Marriott and when they went to extend their stay, there were no available rooms! I feel that way about Homeland. They thought this would be a fun show for six episodes. Now the seasons keep getting extended, and the writers are scrambling like crazy. The notion that Brody is still alive -- much less traveling around the metro D.C. area without surveillance -- is about as believable as a cyclist's doping alibi.
In the new WTA rankings (Dec. 3), Kimiko Date-Krumm is back in the top 100. She's 42 now, so I'm wondering whether this is some kind of record for oldest player in the top 100 for women. Is there a Greg Sharko for women's tennis who could enlighten us? (By the way: I'm so proud of Date-Krumm, playing nine tournaments in 10 weeks, finishing runner-up-runner-up-winner in the last three.)
-- Oliver, Trier, Germany
• Sport of a lifetime, friend. Great achievement. Remember, for all the comebacks and unretirements, Date-Krumm was out of action for more than a decade. Is this a record? That should be easy to confirm, but well, you know ... tennis and data go together like Bernard Tomic and stop signs.
When asked whether Federer is the best player of all time, Boris Becker said, "It is the ultimate question, but unfortunately it has no answer. Roger Federer has won more tournaments than anybody, but it remains unknown if he would have beaten a (John) McEnroe, a (Bjorn) Borg, a (Rod) Laver or me." I feel Becker's statement doesn't carry any weight. Federer has many distinctions when compared with any past players.
-- Gorti Brahma, Cupertino, Calif.
• I don't necessarily disagree that Federer-as-GOAT is ultimately unanswerable. But that doesn't mean we can't speculate.
Just wanted to point out that Tomas Berdych lost to David Ferrer in the Davis Cup finals. I am not sure how a loss on a fast indoor surface will catapult Berdych in the same vein as Djokovic's rise after the 2010 Davis Cup finals.
-- Brian Harris, Waco, Texas
• Lot of you pointed that out. This was meant tongue-in-cheek, but clearly was a clunker line. To be clear: Berdych did NOT beat Ferrer in Davis Cup. This was my unforced error.
Mike Montgomery was the basketball coach in 1980 at the University of Montana. (I was a Grizzly tennis player). He was once overheard saying, "A small guy with bad knees is not a horse to place your money on." If Nadal is really injured (I am a doctor, albeit dermatologist), my money is not on him to come back. I say he gives it a college try at Australia, it goes bad, and he calls it a career.
-- Patrick Kramer, Oslo, Norway
• First, Mike Montgomery gets special consideration here, as he's been spotted at the Stanford WTA event. As for the analogy, I suspect that if the small guy was 6-foot-2 and had won the basketball equivalent of double-digit majors, the coach would be a bit more charitable.
We have a lot of hypothetical and theoretical and debatable discussions at the Mailbag HQ. Is Federer the GOAT? Would so-and-so have beaten so-and-so? Should there be more events in the U.S.? In the case of Nadal's knees and overall health, we'll get a definitive answer soon. No reason to speculate or try to place (metaphorical) bets. Barely a month from now, well know for sure the extent of his recovery.
When you look at the countries' of the WTA's Top 100 players you get the following result, per continent:
North America: 11
Asia: 7
Africa: 1
Oceania: 3
Europe: 78 (including Russia)
But looking at the locations of the top WTA tournaments (Premier Mandatory & Premier 5), you get:
North America: 4
Asia: 3
Europe: 2
If you then look at the recent cancellation of the WTA's Eurosport TV contract, which will take women's tennis completely off TV or to some obscure pay TV channels pretty much all over Europe, I am asking myself if the WTA is following a reasonable strategy I can't see, or is it just reckless? With almost 80 percent of its best players from Europe, shouldn't you try to utilize that to grow the sport there?
-- Julia Mayer, Vienna, Austria
• I totally agree that a) the WTA is in, shall we say, a defensive position right now. Sony Ericsson has taken its considerable sponsorship dollars elsewhere. For reasons that still haven't been adequately explained, the tour championship -- successful in New York for years, less successful in Germany and then Los Angeles and Dubai, then a big hit in Istanbul, the city likely to hold the 2020 Olympics -- will now move to one of four other cities.
What happened to your Best of Three Monday column? Much enjoy reading you twice a week!
-- Pirka, San Pedro Sula, Honduras
• Hey, thanks. We'll go back to twice a week in 2013.
• Tip of the hat -- made of sawgrass -- to Mike Saia, who did a great job running point at the Charleston Family Circle Cup.
• Good stuff as always from Ana Mitric: "I happened to be re-watching the second set of the World Tour Finals final and noticed something I wouldn't have if not for your Mailbag last week -- specifically, a comment from a reader about how 'low rent' it was of Djokovic's team to drink champagne in the player's box before the trophy presentation. During what turned out to be the final game of the match, there was a tournament staffer waiting in the wings beside the Djoković box with a tray of glasses. It didn't take me too long to remember that Moët is one of the event's sponsors. Putting two and two together, I wonder: Isn't it more likely that this was a promotional occasion for Moët, rather than a spontaneous celebration by Marian Vajda, et al? Surely, if I'm correct, they would have offered the same to Federer's camp had he won the year-end championship. Now, one could argue that members of Federer's box might have politely declined the bubbly -- or that doing so would be the proper and 'sporting' thing to do. But that seems much more speculative than what I'm suggesting.
"The point is: There are a lot of assumptions behind some people's responses to the Serb's victory celebrations. One of the things I find frustrating -- and not only as a Djokovic defender -- is how often Federer fans, in particular, make mistaken attributions of intent when interpreting Djokovic's behavior. The 'over-the-top chest thumping,' which this reader mentions, is another good example. Some describe this act as arrogant, distastefully macho or even gorilla-like, as if Djokovic was an animal engaged in a show of aggression. The reality is that he is using one hand (his right) to tap the left side of his chest (his heart), a gesture communicating a very specific, emotional message to those in the arena closest to him -- his girlfriend, his family (when they're present) and members of his team. As a well-known Serbian sports commentator tweeted immediately after the match, 'I do not know about class but I do about heart and brain.'
"Is it too much to ask fans to try -- harder -- to understand before they judge?"
• To repeat: Moet & Chandon's first global brand ambassador was Roger Federer.
• In an effort to grow youth tennis, Todd Martin has acquired a TGA Premier Youth Tennis franchise.
• An anonymous writer has this week's long-lost siblings: Nicolas Almagro and Colin Kaepernick.

Forced CJ feature
Sometimes it just pays to wedge your foot in the door and let yourself in. Well, maybe not in the case of White House dinners. But certainly if you're heading off to a major event like the Moab Easter Jeep Safari and you've got a pretty hot Jeep; it would pay to email the editors of the world's largest off-road Jeep magazine. You may even include a few photos of your cool ride and outline your schedule to make it easier on said editors. And that's just what Ryan Bowden of Morgan, Utah, did. Ryan simply shot us an email with a couple of photos of his '82 CJ-7 to show off his workmanship, told us he'd be at the '08 Easter Jeep Safari, and left the rest up to us. We dug the straightforward build using simple, solid components. And the flashy paint didn't hurt either. A couple of emails later and we were on the trail snapping the photos you see here.
We mentioned our appreciation of Ryan's simple, yet solid build and nothing is more solid than good old-fashioned leaf springs. Ryan first boxed the factory frame in the crucial areas around the spring and shackle hangers. Then, a set of heavy-duty spring and shackle hangers from M.O.R.E. were welded on to accept the 4.5-inch spring-under leafs out back with longer, heavy-duty shackles. In a nice touch, the rear shackle hangers are frenched up and into the rear bumper/crossmember and are capped with snazzy military-style recovery shackles. The rear spring-under arrangement battles axlewrap, and with the Dynatrac U-bolt flip kit, doesn't pose a huge impediment to ground clearance.
On the other side, a M.O.R.E stubby shackle reversal with aftermarket 1-inch-lift YJ springs done in a spring-over configuration hold up the front end. With the relocated spring perches, the new wheelbase comes in at an even 100 inches. A quartet of Rubicon Express remote-reservoir monotube shocks play damping duties and some extra-large polyurethane bumpstops keep the axles out of the framerails at full stuff.
Boys and girls, it just doesn't get any easier or more reliable than a GM Goodwrench Chevy 350 crate engine, so that's just what Ryan slung between the framerails using a bolt-on conversion kit by Advance Adapters with poly motor mounts. The 265hp 350 engine is topped by a low-rise aluminum manifold. Inhalation and exhalation is through a four-barrel carb and stock cast-iron exhaust manifolds, respectively. A GMPP serpentine front accessory kit was installed on the crate engine as an easy source for the power steering pump, alternator, and A/C compressor. The A/C compressor was converted to onboard air and fills a 3-gallon tank housed underneath the rear of the tub.
Backing the 5.7L crate engine is a Howell-built TH700R4 four-speed overdrive automatic that's toggled via an Art Carr shifter and cooled with an under-floor-mounted tranny cooler with an electric fan. Judging by the custom-built 3/16-inch steel T-case crossmember, we're betting Ryan has access to a steel brake. An adapter from Advance Adapters couples the GM automatic to an Atlas II T-case with a deep 4.3:1 Low before twisting a pair of Tom Wood's drive shafts. The front runs a long-travel spline and 1310 U-joints at both ends, while the rear features a smooth and silky double-cardan joint for those freeway jaunts.
To keep snappage at bay, a pair of Dana 60 axles front and rear running 4.56 gears and ARB Air Lockers were modified for the CJ. Ryan was a bit tight-lipped about the axles, but it appeared to us it's a Chevy Dana 60 front with Dynatrac conversion hubs and rotors and a custom-built rear using an F-350 Ford high-pinion centersection and 5x5.5-inch bolt pattern drums. It's a lot of axle, but the bulbous 38x12.50-15 Swamper SX tires mounted on 15x10 Champion beadlocks provide a decent margin of clearance under the diffs.

Olives are nice but what I love is canned peas. omnomnom. I eat them with chopsticks tho so they wouldn't run out so fast.
I sometimes just get this urge for canned food. Some people never touch it...but thats their loss!
Thinking of canning my own food.
Last night, 3am, I was happily drawing away on the PC, when the lights started flickering and then, power outage. Everything went pitch dark. I couldnt see anything and immediately started cursing. I'm still limping and was in no mood to negotiate furniture in the dark.
Then I heard Samson our pitbull come trotting into the room, obviously excited about what he perceived to be some kind of pre-dawn fun and games. I called him to me as I could not exactly see him and holding onto his neck, had him lead me to our room! (Which his bed is in front of.)
He's always barking abuse at the guide dogs across the road. (There is a guide dog school there) so last night he had a chance to show them up. Pity nobody else saw it, but he and I will always know.
I really LOVE canned tuna! I don't know why it is but I've always loved the stuff since I was a little girl. Funny thing though is I'm the only one in my entire family who likes it. I really like my tuna spread on some whole wheat crackers.
I'm kind of okay now, I spent a day in the hospital bed. Came out with an itchy back. They say it will occur again usually within a few years after it has occurred once. It happened on Saturday during a figure drawing. The pain was so sharp combined with the pressurized area outside my lungs, made it very hard to breath. I didn't contemplate dying, because I didn't know what was going on.
Today is the first day I ate 3 meals since a few years; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have to if I want to decrease the chances of another lung collapse.

By all means then Vay, please eat, eat, eat! I know its a change of lifestyle for you, so just power through it man. Thanks for the update.
@Peipei: Canned Tuna is fantastic and pretty good for you as well.
Well, I'm off to the hospital again, more blood tests and the sperm bank visit. Wish me luck!
Good luck man!
Vay, glad to hear that's passed! And yeah, canned tuna is awesome.
Trying to cut down on coffee. I stopped drinking it last evening and I was actually able to sit down and enjoy some anime. I didn't realize how much it was affecting my ability to relax. One of the nurses at the hospital once told me that people getting over life-threatening addictions sometimes need to taper off with lesser addictions just to get back to normal--and that's what this has felt like.
Yeah that makes sense Andrew, good luck with that, any addicting stimulant can sometimes be tough to beat, even everyday things people take for granted. Good luck man, but with everything you've beaten I don't think you'll need it.
@Star Eater: Certain chemicals in canned food are linked to cancer. I generally dislike canned food due to the typical metallic taste.
@Andrew B: Something about caffeine:
Caffeine is a drug, too much of it and you will experience withdrawal symptoms, much like for any other drug. This happens due to the adaptivity of your body. It responds to caffeine by preventing excess caffeine from affecting your body through decreased binding sites or increased digestive enzymes, and hence your body builds tolerance for the drug. This means you will need more and more drugs each time your body adapts and tolerates an increased level of the respective drug.
Sudden stop in the consumptions of the drug that your body has adapted to will create withdrawal symptoms, and this is because your body has adapted to a high level dose of that particular drug. An example would be when your body increase the production of enzyme that digests certain molecules of a drug due to high amounts of such drugs in your body. So once the consumption of such drugs are suddenly halted, there will be an excess of this enzyme, and smaller traces of the drug will be easily and thoroughly eliminated.
In application to caffeine, you will have deficiency of caffeine as a result of overproduction of enzymes that break down caffeine. This is why a person feels the opposite effect for a withdrawal symptom to the effect of the drugs that a person's body has adapted to.
Lastly, caffeine does not cause addiction. It causes withdrawal symptoms, which require the drug that your body has adapted to to decreases the effects of the respective withdrawal symptoms. Addictive drugs also cause withdrawal symptoms.
To come back to a normal level of caffeine tolerance, you have to gradually decrease the amount of caffeine you take.

Andrew, as someone who drank coffee in a day until i started startling at invisible people standing next to me i can second how you don´t notice how much it affects your behaviour until you quit.
Green tea is really good, is not going to match the caffeine, you may still get that punch the first few days and wake up feeling like you are trapped in some Alice in Chains song but just feeling like your drinking something helps the habit and its also pretty healthy to take anyways.
Its also easier if your working out or doing some activity that keeps the mind away. Also if your doing a diet and routine while quiting, seeing the weight loss and feeling in better health might give you a moral boost to keep up with the discipline.
Random thought thread why have I not seen this before.....
I'm going to vent. ...... because I.... .... Hate..... .... Stinkbugs.........
I have an unquenchable rage from these pieces of crap. If I could create a death ray that would genocide and wipe out every stinkbug on the western hemisphere I would dedicate my life to it.
These bugs are the epitome of a 'pest'. They come into your walls, lay endless eggs, there is no way to kill them yet with a pesticide, they can squeeze through a crack in your walls not even 1/4th an inch, they have no existing predators in the west. It's winter, these things come out of our walls when we have the heat up. I kill about 20-150 a day. I wake up in the morning and we have a little skylight thing. I take a vacuum and suck up 20+ every morning. Then the fun of these bastards is they have set stomping grounds. They love to hang on your cups, and cans of soda's. They crawl up your wires and hang on it, they're attracted to light and buzz around constantly. If they're scared they let out a chemical that if you even rub your hand raw with soap it may not come out. I've had them drop from the ceiling onto my shoulder and shit for no reasons. I've had them in my bed almost every morning for months. They fly onto my pillow, they hang on our windows, they fly into my food, I leave a can of soda down and they crawl into it without me knowing then the fun of having a stinkbug in it when your drinking it. I have regularly had stinkbugs literally full force just fly directly into my face. While I scream "WHAT THE FUCK!??!?!?". They aren't even scared of humans, they'll just crawl on you.
The worst part is, every time I kill one (I use a big plastic jar with soap water, kill them in less than a minute). 2 take it's place, it's like they wait to see a vacancy in these specific spots, on the corner of this desk over here, on these wires, they crawl up the wires to my computer constantly throughout the day. I kill them, 2 minutes later I turn around and there's another one in the same exact spot.....
I fucking..... .. hate..... stinkbugs....... ........
If I move, I'm never living near the woods again......
I try to be kind--even to insects. But yeah, I hate it when they fly at my face. Apparently they are attracted to the darker areas like the eyes and nostrils...big fun.
And thank you to the handsome and powerful gentlemen who had some coffee advice for me. What has happened is that I still am having some caffeine every day, but I've been careful about not compulsively getting more after the first couple doses. I feel a lot better.
I was getting really agitated and anxious later in the day--and I hadn't made the connection before now. Anyway, awesome stuff, but I was really abusing it.
They sound just like ladybugs. I accidently ate them as they fly into my mouth, had them inside my bed, fly into my food..
If you can tolerate peppermint and not allergic, mix peppermint oil into vinegar, spray it everywhere, especially where cracks, windows, doors, and any other place where stink bugs may come in. Spray it into your bed. Not sure how well it will work for you, but for me it definitely did. Can't control what is outside, but inside, there was not many bugs. Bugs, in general, hate peppermint.
You can also try an ultrasonic pest repeller - you plug it into an electrical outlet and send out high-frequency noise that repels most pests. The only drawback is if you have a pest for a pet (like a pet rat, mouse, spider, etc); it'll drive 'em crazy.

... I'm at work
and I just witnessed a man, actually rolling on the floor laughing, for about 3 minutes, because I put a _final appendix onto a comped (color corrected) file.
And then he explained to me, that we never finish stuff, just stop working on it.
This made his day.
He's been working here for 3 years.. and I suspect he's a bit bitter.

Had the police come round today to say they'd had a report that my 16yo son was missing. He was standing behind me.
I think they meant his friend who is always going awol. They did look sheepish.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
Black Spot, had that happen actually myself, I was just in my room mom shouted "Hey are you missing?" shout back "Nope". Was awkward.
Back to stinkbugs. Basically I don't have any pictures of my house. But it's a very weird architecture. There are so many cracks they could be coming in from we could never cover them all. Since once again I read they can get through a quarter of an inch space. Then they nest in your walls.
The sonic pest repeller thing doesn't work on these stinkbugs, have a few in our kitchen. Doesn't stop them (stopped ants though). It's not as bad this winter it seems. But for years it's been at plague levels around here.
I've tried everything. I'm sadly having to just submit. My issue is worse than others in the sense that since the architecture is weird, my room has no roof. It's completely open on top and connected to the biggest room in the house they swarm to. So lights go off at night, I'm a night owl so they get attracted straight to me in the evening. Have to turn on lights in the house just so I'm not dealing with 20 every 5 minutes lol.
Saw a wig on the pavement the other day. It was laid out nicely, with a fringe and tied back in a pony tail, lying like someone had been scalped. I wonder why.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
maybe the pavement was feeling sensitive about being bald and wanted to recapture its youth?

Ever wanted to do something even though it's highly unlikely you will finish it, coupled with how it's very time consuming and likely most people won't be interested at all?
lol I worked on a game in RPG maker 2k3 for years casually off and on then quit once it became too daunting to accomplish a certain task. I was going to go the 9 yards past what most do. Voice acting, cut scenes, hand draw this and that. Then I picked it up again played through the first couple hours of gameplay recently still laughed at jokes I wrote years ago and like it. All the algebra I couldn't figure out before is coming to me now.
I guess it's kind of like art in the sense that most don't do it for anyone but themselves. Until you work on it to the point it really stands out and is amazing would anyone be interested. So that question, why pursue it. Why draw. Why make a game.
I guess. Because it's fun.
I never knew that I love learning the history of expressions we use in every day language. I always thought that one was a sports metaphor or something to do with measuring fabric lol.

Last night I dreamt I opened up my own walk in art studio commission shop.
It consisted of a tiny chair and table, near the entrance of our local seedy shopping mall. No actual shop space itself, more like a stall, but without the stall. Just me on a school hall type chair and small craft desk with a battery run laptop. I did not do much business and remember lamenting my choice of venue even in my dream.
It was shitty -and- realistic!
Yeah, Elwell, I was feeling pretty proud o' myself for a moment there!
I actually jumped onto Google to see if I could source the "whole nine yards" origin-- imagine my chagrin.
Machinegun belts would seem to be the most rational explanation when you see others analyzing this.
[Strange, your sources and mine cite WWII as the origin of the machinegun explanation-- don't know how I internalized WWI!]
Oh well, thanks fer "givin' me both barrels. . ."
Marriage seems like a promising option. I need to grow up more before I do anything like that though.

Rex Ryan is staying with the New York Jets — at least for one more year.
Team owner Woody Johnson made the announcement in the locker room on Sunday after Gang Green's 20-7 road victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Johnson's decision ended weeks of speculation over Ryan's tenure with the Jets that had many armchair GMs split.
The owner's announcement choked up the 51-year-old coach, ESPN reported.
Rex, who has one year remaining on his $3 million per year contract, was mum about any possible extension to that contract.
Despite finishing the season with an 8-8 record, the Jets, along with many football writers, celebrated Sunday's win and the Jets' season overall. Ryan and the young, injury prone team had done a fair job with a team for whom many see a brighter future.
GM John Idzik cited next season's roster flexibility and a surplus of draft picks as reasons to be bullish on the 2014-15 season.
As for Ryan, his career with the Jets appears to depend on it.
