A couple days or weeks or less later, Susannah and I got stranded at the Hollywood Grill at Ashland and North Ave. early early early one morning on the way home from a bachelorette party night for her former sister-in-law for which I was to have served as the ride-home chauffeur. Over 3 a.m. plates of whatever beautifully greasy slop was served up that night, our waitress happened to ask if we'd parked in their then-brand-new mini-parking garage along Ashland.
We had.
Bad news: "You won't be able to get your car for a while," she said. "It's a crime scene."
Someone had been shot.
Then, well, the return round 9 a.m. to pick up the car, ensuing paranoid anticipation of strike three, a drunk psycho who lived across the alley behind our apartment, angry heads backlit in windows across Walton St. in front of it, release through writing, as it were. You can read it in Cabildo online or download the issue pdf here. Or: Write me and I'll send you a copy: todd [at] the2ndhand.com.
Likewise goes for new Triumph postcards I cooked up recently, compliant with postal regulations (yes, you can mail them) and wonderfully printed via Modern Postcard. As Jerome Ludwig said recently of postcards, surely not the first such person: "the original text message." If you're up for handing around small stacks in your town, let me know and I'll mail you a cache. There's a brief excerpt from "The Stupidist Manifesto" on the the front side, more or less blank on the back. Looking pretty good, eh?:
Another story from my short-story collection is on the web, this one at the Vol. 1 Brooklyn online venue. It's "Death in Hammond," from the latter part of the collection — the night on which the piece is set is loosely based on an old friend's bachelor party, which did in fact involve a sighting of Keanu Reeves at a Chicago steakhouse, where none were too attentive, in fact, and courses were set for only marginally floating casinos, where momentous things would happen, no doubt. I hope you enjoy.
Print copies of the book, following the successful Kickstarter run, are available. You can order here.
Brunetti commands a special section in our 10th-anniversary anthology, released in 2011, All Hands On: THE2NDHAND After 10.
"There is something that I must say. That I want to do this to you, the clown lips. That's my only goal now — is that you let me paint the clown lips. You will always be sad. You will always feel broken without me. But please, let me paint the clown lips."
She said nothing. What could she say? She backed off a little bit. We were in my dressing room. I was a nobody but I had a dressing room. I can't even say how I ended up there, in the dressing room. It had a broken wooden chair, a slipshod greasy mirror and blown-out track lights. A single sad bulb dangled from a wire, 40 watts. There was also a desk, a coat rack, and Marla. That was her name.
"Marla I'm a depraved man," I went on. "I have no idea why you ended up with me or what you see in me. But this is the last tango, the last dress rehearsal for us. After this, I'll leave forever and you'll stay with the upturned clown lips. Do you understand that that's what I want? That I just want you to have those upturned clown's lips and I'll be satisfied for eternity."
Marla said nothing.
Forty-five minutes later we were in the tattoo parlor down the block. A poorly lit street corner was outside the plate-glass window. We sat in ink-stained, strawberry-red seats with metal armrests. The armrests felt cold. There was a man there with a tattoo needle. He was dabbing on a piece of paper — testing it out. The ink dripped. He ignored us for a while. Then he turned to us and said, 'Next.'
'Marla,' I said. I told the man that Marla was a clown. That she and I were in showbiz. That we were the greatest partnership since—Brangelina. The man waited for me to shut up. Then I said, 'Listen, it's over. Marla will be suicidal from here on out. I want you to tat some clown lips on her. I want you to red-band her lips but put the upturned corners at each end. That's most important: the upturned corners. If you don't tat the upturned corners on her lips, Marla may die."
"That what you want?" he said, turning to Marla, who said nothing. She stayed sitting in her seat. She looked like a girl who'd had a grapefruit mashed into her face, sour and damp.
"Get up," I said. Marla got up.
"Listen, man," the tattoo guy said. "This doesn't seem consensual. I mean, it doesn't seem like her idea. Anyway, she's got to sign a waiver."
"She'll sign it," I said.
"I'll sign it," Marla said. "I like clown lips."
He did the tattoo. Halfway through I went across the street and drank a beer. When I came back, Marla had the clown lips but they weren't ruby red — they were baboon's-ass blue. It was magnificent.
"That's better," I said. "That's better than I could ever have asked for."
"I'm a genius," the tattoo man said.
"So you are," I said. "And so is Marla."
We were all looking in the mirror. Then Marla took a needle from the counter and jabbed me in the eye. It plunged in straightaway like a bee stinger into a bare butt. I screamed a little and dripped some blood around. "Motherfucker," I said. I dropped into one of the red chairs. The tattoo guy stood there looking at me. Marla stood beside him and put the needle back on the counter. There was some blood on it. "Motherfucker," I said again.
Marla picked up the needle again. I looked her in the eye — with my good eye. Then the tattoo guy came over with some balled-up paper towel. I took the ball from him and pressed it into my eye socket.
"I'll call 911," he said.
"No," I said.
"No," Marla said.
She came over and sat in the opposite red chair. She reached out and took the paper ball from my hand and pushed the ball into the socket lightly. Then with a little more force. I grunted. The tattoo man sat down on a high stool behind the counter and lit a cigarette. I looked at Marla's bright blue lips, the upturned corners of her mouth. She was smiling.
Now he tended to cry. He did not cry much as a child. From an early age, he was taught to suck it up. Boys don't do that, his grandmother told him. So he swallowed the hot knots of emotion when he skinned his knee, when both index fingers were cut by the metal spool of streamers whilst decorating for the anniversary party, when his grade school crush did not give him a creased cardstock valentine.
He cried in his late twenties, but not in his tweens or teens. In his tweens or teens he felt the emotion, a fracas of rage and despair, eat away at his throat. He laid in bed for hours in the dark. He asked for death.
He cried he cried he cried. In adulthood, or at least when he felt that he had reached adulthood, when his responsible decisions outnumbered the irresponsible, he began to cry. He cried when he received the new wallet, he cried when he did not get accepted into the grad school of his choice, he cried when he thought of his wife.
He cried when he thought of his childhood, his grandmother, his father; he cried when he couldn't explain why he resented his mother, teachers, friends; he cried when he felt alone, miserable, empty; he cried.
It's so beautiful, he said one afternoon, watching a groundhog run its awkward back-heavy run through the empty lot across the street from the porch, tear tracks across his high cheeks.

We have a great thread going about pet peeves as campers so I think maybe one from owner/managers might be a good thing. I know I see things differently since I started managing campgrounds compared to when I was just camping. We always cleaned up our sites and tried to follow the rules but I'm sure we did things that irked the managers.
One of my big ones is people that bend the rules. "My dog won't run away if not on a leash" kind of thing, another is "I only took a couple of puffs on my cigarette in the no smoking bathroom".
I know that if I go back to just camping I will make more of an effort to see things from the CG's perspective.
Any other owner/managers want to add something?

Hmmm....there are one or two pet peeves....dogs off leash, big one...and yes, I know your dog won't run away but we have 212 sites here, and if each site had a dog on it and I let your dog roam free I really have to let all the others ones go too right? Rocks on the grass...total danger there...biggest one for us........moving the firepits!!! If you want to ruin my husband's weekend, move that firepit .. you pull in and look up the field you see no burnt marks on the grass; you see the fire pits are all lined up neatly, so then why should your fire pit need to be at the back of your site???? Near the water lines and electric???? One other one for me personally, the camper who is booked in for a Saturday and shows up at 8 a.m. instead of the 1:00 p.m. check in just so they can get the whole day in. I have now implemented a early check in fee that makes us all feel better!
Now....having ranted a bit there that's not to say I don't have wonderful campers.......I do....and I absolutely LOVE my park, my job and my campers.
At the other end of the spectrum - that camper who books in for 3 weeks every year and makes me dishclothes each year; that camper that emails me and keeps me up to date on her husband's health; that camper that sends me an email to let me know her kids had a blast............THAT makes it all worthwhile

My e-mail is: [email]firstname.lastname@example.com[/email]
Still need lots more personnel.[/QUOTE]
Well - back from a Father's Day weeked at the [I]Tail of the Dragon[/I] and other nice roads (HWY 28!) in that area of the Smokies (As for George - not a clue where he's still ripping up dirt trails - hard to get him off a bike!).
Did the [I]Dragon[/I] 8 times on Saturday, so that's 88 miles of 2,544 curves - in a day.
No wonder when I got back, I couldn't ride a straight line, which by the way, came in handy as on June 19th, my son and I were students in an ERC at [I]Road America[/I] (Elkhart Lake, WI).
Back to business - getting some good response for the [B]Main Gate[/B], but now need volunteers for the 'other' gate - [B]Gate 6[/B]. Though not as hectic as the main entrance, still a great place to get your feet wet as a rally volunteer. E-mail me for what shifts are available, and get signed up! :deal

I didn't like the man; in fact I never liked him. The
few times I visited Sabrina's home he was always there
with a beer in his hand yelling out different orders at Mrs.
Sanders. Get me a beer, get me my newspaper; where's
the remote? He would sit in that old black leather chair
with the furniture fluff hanging out wearing only a t-shirt
and sweatpants. It was embarrassing for me to see his
belly hanging out so I can only imagine how Sabrina felt.
I guess I should start first by telling you my name.
I'm Amanda Cunningham and I was not named after any
dead family members or some popular celebrity, I should
be so lucky. Nope, instead my parents named me after a
silly song from the seventies called Mandy, which is short
for Amanda. I heard recently that the songwriter was
singing about his dog so you can imagine my dismay and
disgust when I learned that little tidbit. To this day I won't
talk to anyone who calls me anything other than Amanda.
It was just past noon on Saturday and I was
watching television in my bedroom. My parents had
bought me my own TV last year so that I could watch
videos with my friends when they slept over. Seems like a
great thing to do right? No! Truth be told they hated
sharing their blessed 42-inch screen as it was their only
sense of entertainment so they tucked me away in my

William Cowper
an English poet and hymnodist. One of the most popular poets of his time, Cowper changed the direction of 18th century nature poetry by writing of everyday life and scenes of the English countryside. In many ways, he was one of the forerunners of Romantic poetry. Samuel Taylor Coleridge called him "the best modern poet", whilst William Wordsworth particularly admired his poem Yardley-Oak. He was a nephew of the poet Judith Madan.
While Cowper found refuge in a fervent evangelical Christianity, the inspiration behind his much-loved hymns, he often experienced doubt and feared that he was doomed to eternal damnation. His religious sentiment and association with John Newton (who ... more »

KINGSBURY | A longtime Michigan City manufacturing company is creating jobs by investing in its current facility and expanding into a new building in Kingsbury.
Dwyer Instruments, a manufacturer specializing in the production of instrumentation products, will spend $769,000 to lease and equip an existing 11,000-square-foot facility at the Kingsbury Industrial Park, according to a news release from the Indiana Economic Development Corp.
The company also plans to invest an undisclosed amount in its research and development operations at the Michigan City location on Ind. 212.
Up to 50 new jobs are projected to be added by 2016.
The new facility, which is expected to be fully operational by September, will allow the company to start manufacturing sensor products for the fire pump, industrial and chemical industries.
Bert Cook, executive director of the Greater LaPorte Economic Development Corp., said Dwyer Instruments staying and expanding close by is a win-win.
''It's a great company that we've worked with for a number of years. It's great to see they are still committed to our area,'' Cook said.
Jim Goldschmidt, director of manufacturing at Dwyer Instruments, said other states were considered for the expansion, but Indiana proved more favorable to do business.
"With its low taxes, Indiana showed that it was committed to creating the business environment we need to grow our business and hire more people," Goldschmidt said.
Another influence in the company's decision to stay is the proximity of Purdue North Central. Goldschmidt said the campus near Westville has been a great resource in providing the engineering and technical personnel to support the company's need for manpower.
The IEDC, which serves as the state's commerce department, offered up to $300,000 in tax credits tied to job creation, and tax abatement was extended by La Porte County officials in their bid to keep Dwyer Instruments.
"It's great to see a company like Dwyer continuing to be successful here. I think it speaks a lot for what's going on within our community and for the company for their commitment to the people here,'' Cook said.
Dwyer Instruments was founded in 1931 and makes a variety of control and instrumentation products for the HVAC, chemical, food, oil and gas, and pollution control industries.
The company has other locations including Anaheim, Calif.; Grandview, Mo.; and Hong Kong. According to IEDC officials, about 530 of Dwyer's 740 employees work in Indiana.

Hydro Flask bottles come with a one hundred year or a single lifetime warranty, whichever comes first!
By following a few simple maintenance steps, you can increase the longevity of your flask and ensure that every sip you take from your Hydro Flask in the coming years is just as clean and pure as the first.
Before Initial Use:
Hand wash your flask and cap with hot, soapy water. Rinse the flask as well as the cap, and it is ready to be filled for hydrating!
You Cannot:
- Put your flask through the dishwasher: The dishwasher can get hot enough to affect the insulation property of the flask as well as discolor the powder coat.
- Put your Hydro Flask in the freezer: Due to the double wall vacuum insulation, the water inside will be protected from the temperature inside the freezer and won't freeze. If you want ice cold water, put some ice cubes inside your flask and notice how long it takes them to melt!
- Put your flask on the stove: Due to the double wall vacuum insulating property of the flask, outside temperature will not change the inside beverage temperature. If you put your flask on any sort of stove or heat source, the heat will damage the outside of the flask.
You Can:
- Wash your flask with a bottle brush: You can find a perfect bottle brush in the baby section of most grocery stores. Use the bottle brush as frequently as possible.
- Use white distilled vinegar for cleaning: You can use household white distilled vinegar to help remove any stains or discoloration on the inside of your flask. We recommend putting ½ cup of vinegar in your flask, gently swirling the vinegar around to wash any affected areas and let sit for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and repeat if necessary.
- Use baking soda for cleaning: For those stubborn spots inside your Hydro Flask, mix 2-3 tablespoons of baking soda with a small amount of warm water to form a scrubbing paste. Dip the bristles of your bottle brush in the paste and work paste into affected area on the inside of your flask. Repeat as necessary until stain disappears.
- Wash your caps in the dishwasher: All Hydro Flask caps are top-rack dishwasher safe. The cap may last longer if it is hand washed, but if it needs to be deep cleaned, the dishwasher is acceptable.

Mark Maguire, founder of Maguire's Regional Cuisine in North Dallas, is dressing down. Not changing from button-downs to Kid Rock pop-top tank tops, but from North Dallas to Uptown. Maguire calls his shift Maguire's "M" Grill & Tap, a casual departure set to open in early November in the space formerly occupied by Arcodoro/Pomodoro. Maguire says "M" will focus on "chef-driven" staples like pork chops, meat loaf, Philly cheese-steak sandwiches, wings, po' boys and a variety of burgers. "The menu is going to definitely be scaled back," Maguire insists. "We aren't going to serve pretentious food with the most exotic ingredients from the farthest reaches of the planet with names no one can pronounce." Maybe Maguire has never tried to say "Philly cheese steak" after chasing rye, for which there will be ample room at "M," a venue featuring a robust beverage program with specialty drinks, 15 draft beers and 40 wines by the glass. Partnered with his brother Chris and Maguire's chef Cherif Brahmi, Maguire says he's eyeing South Lake for another Maguire's location.

23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
main index
Avram: (gestures at Perchik and Mordcha) He's right, and he's right? They can't both be right.Alice is faced with two different opinions: Bob strongly believes in one thing, and Charlie in another. The easiest choice would be to simply pick a side— decide that Bob is right or that Charlie is right. But Alice won't do that. The second easiest choice would be to simply remain neutral and urge them to Agree to Disagree. But Alice won't do that either. And she will neither pretend that the two opposing views are actually the same thing, nor conclude that it's merely a matter of perspective. Finally, she will not engage in some extreme mental acrobatics, simultaneously but separately agreeing with both opposing views. All that is left for her, then, is something much harder: to try her best to see both sides fairly, and value the merits of each side's arguments. In fiction, it can serve to enrich the morality of the setting and avert Black and White Morality. In Real Life, this process is the founding idea behind democratic and consensus systems, and also the principle behind most journalism (occasionally to its detriment - this concept leads most news media to give both sides of any issue equal weight, which can lead to Unfortunate Implications about their respective levels of support and/or factual accuracy). This trope might lead to an Author Tract unless it's Played for Drama - focusing on Alice's emotional reactions to the dilemma rather than the dilemma itself. When Played for Laughs, it often strays even further from the actual issue. Compare What Is Evil?, where a villain tries to invoke this to challenge their status as a villain to begin with, with varying possible degrees of justification and success (depending mostly on whether the work's approach to morality is more Black and White or rather Gray and Gray). Also contrast Culture Justifies Anything, where it's very likely that at least one side does in fact not have any valid point. Not to be confused with Double Weapon, where both sides of your weapon have a point. Compare Grey and Gray Morality, Black and Gray Morality and White and Grey Morality as well as Rousseau Was Right and Good Versus Good. Characters stuck in this situation may decide to Take a Third Option. Beware of falling into the Golden Mean Fallacy, where a compromise is reached, but one side is flat-out wrong, and has no valid point after all.

Invader Zim reruns return to Nicktoons!!!
Read our source and get yourself psyched before you read what we have to say about it.
OK… you back? Here's why we are excited.
Invader Zim has not aired on United States airwaves since around April, 2013 (source)
Around that time it was selected alongside eight other shows to be taken off their schedule.
Funny thing is that before the change occurred, Nicktoons was set to put Zim on the Saturday morning block,
and before that brief time on the Saturday morning block… Zim was enjoying a large amount of air time on weekdays for the first time in practically forever….. the sheer timing of such leaves us to strongly assume to this very day that our huge fan mailing event "Project: Massive" may have been a strong factor in Zim being aired on more favorable timeslots.
After all, Nicktoons network always loved Zim (Christmas Eve marathon, season 2 premiere, pilot premiere featuring unreleased Richard Horvitz audio, GIRreatest Moments poll event… and that's just what is on the record).
More importantly, even before Project Massive Nicktoons always left Zim a little bit of room during the gravyard slot on weekends… which is honestly generous for a decade old unfinished cartoon.
We are not sure why this change occurred but we're certainly psyched and will ride the wave.
Be sure to watch Invader Zim on Nicktoons network this Sunday afternoon. Check your local cable providers and TV listings for details.
-CB Johnny
No, your viewing does not affect ratings unless your household is selected for a Nielsen Ratings Box… however your cable provider might still be providing data so who are we to tell you that watching won't affect it? Go watch anyways.
and download episodes on iTunes. and watch episodes on Amazon Prime. and… and…. go nuts!
Although I'm bogged down with my volunteer job at my local haunted house and also at my real job training for a department transfer… I'm working towards some new projects both productive and fun for the fans to get behind. I appreciate your support and patience.
follow this blog for updates on all things Invader Zim including those aforementioned events, projects, and even a new website or two perhaps ;) (shhh)
Invader Zim rerun coming soon!
Good news, everyone. Nicktoons will air an hour of Invader Zim on Tuesday night. They are doing this as a part of their plans for the Halloween season. [Source: LocateTV]
I wasn't sure if LocateTV was a reputable enough source so I did check my own local listings now that schedules for October 15th are available. It's true!
Here's why we're pleased: Invader Zim hasn't aired on United States television since April.
Before Project Massive and Invadercon II took place we noticed that Invader Zim was mostly on graveyard slots weekday nights and also afternoons for Sunday. That's not bad for a decade old cancelled program.
AFTER Project Massive it went to weekday breakfast hours and weekday afternoon hours. Then Zim was moved to weekend mornings instead of weekday anything. Quality over quantity for sure. All good things and a sign that we had found success in our efforts.
Then everything changed when a whole bunch of shows were taken off regular rotation. It doesn't seem to reflect badly on Zim or its ratings per se but it certainly was alarming and it meant we had to cancel a big mission involving bringing back the old "watch Invader Zim on ____ network" tags from Hot Topic.
Now you can verify all of our claims about Zim's schedule history by exploring this reputable fansite NickandMore.com 's archives.
We do not know what Nicktoons plans to do with the show in their schedule afterwards but we are hoping the ratings will be enough to justify it returning to weekend mornings.
Take care, everybody.

Please help get Invader Zim Lego set made
INVADER ZIM LEGO SET proposal on Cuusoo
It got the attention of the voices of Zim & Gir. ;)
Click the first link below. Read the proposal, click the green button, and answer some brief questions. Reblog this. Then tell your Zim loving friends.
You can also go the extra mile and spread the word to any relevant forums or sites that would be willing to hear about it.
If ten thousand do it then the Lego company itself will read it and considerate it.
( http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/47322 )
No money required. They'll ask a hypothetical question or two about how much money you might spend if Lego approved the project and how many related products would you buy.
It's not a generic petition that gets nowhere fast. This website— Cuusoo— is responsible for getting the Back to the Future and Minecraft lego sets greenlit. It is an opportunity for Lego to find out what the fans would like to see.
We're not experts on this nor do we want to bore you with a wall of text. So if you have questions about how Cuusoo works then check out this blog we found this morning
"Okay, what does this have to do with bringing Zim back?"
Everything. We sent letters and we got Nickelodeon's attention but frankly ever since Jhonen Vasquez announced a possible Johnny the Homicidal Maniac movie we were excited!!…..but concerned that he won't have time for Zim for a year or two. So what then? Well we can't let Nickelodeon forget about us.
We've supported quite a few Zim related projects, websites, events, merchandise and more. Why? Lots of reasons.
1) You get the stuff you want and you oftentimes have the power to help make it happen.
2) Every connection we gain or accomplishment made it easier for us to be taken seriously.
We could list off the different examples of sites, events, projects, and merchandise makers another time. Point is: there's purpose to this.
A fair warning however. Ten thousand supporters does not guarantee anything. Cuusoo is where ten thousand Legend of Zelda fans shown support but the greenlight went to the Back to the Future set that got ten thousand supporters, too.
We think getting ten thousand is a victory enough. Never let Nickelodeon forget even when Jhonen is busy.
If we get enough by September then Lego will look at the proposal this year. If not we'd have to wait a bit longer.
Lastly, this was not our idea. The nice couple who came up with it just became our new friends and we will do all we can to help make it happen.
PS- If you have questions please remember that this site serves as our blog rather than our email. If you inbox us questions, we recommend you not do it anonymously in case we decide to answer it privately and discretely. We answer anonymous questions if they can springboard into a wider fleshed out discussion. ;)
Invader Zim Convention Needs Your Help! (An Official Press Release)
Funding reached 60% in less than ten days, but it still needs help to succeed over the next two weeks!
(ORLANDO, May 17, 2013) InvaderCON, the unofficial Invader ZIM fan convention, is attempting to create a third event planned to take place somewhere in the middle United States in 2014 through the use of crowd funding. The event, being built via the popular Kickstarter website, was conceived as an opportunity for fans of the popular Invader ZIM cartoon to meet members of the show's cast and crew, but were unable to do show when the convention was hosted on the East Coast in 2011 and the West Coast 2012.
The project's funding goal of $33,333 was agreed upon by the convention's promoters, Green Mustard Entertainment, based on the basic operational costs of the first two InvaderCON events: space rental, flights, hotel stays, insurance, etc. From the InvaderCON III Kickstarter page:
"The biggest problem, though, was time and resources vs. risk. While Green Mustard Entertainment is a company, it's NOT the "primary job" of any of the owners or staff. It's a creative fan convention company that designs events to support the geek community.
Ars gratia artis and whatnot.
InvaderCON, unlike our other projects (like Florida Anime Experience,) isn't an annual show in a local city. Normal conventions build a fan base in a specific area and continue to grow. InvaderCON's attendees (at both conventions) are only about 20% locals. Over 80% of InvaderCON attendees are from outside the convention's host city. This makes predicting attendance and budgeting VERY tricky and EXTREMELY risky."
Fans who contribute via Kickstarter, regardless of amount, will have a voice in selecting the host city for the convention (tentatively named "InvaderCON III: FINAL DOOM.") Pledge levels include perks such as passes, t-shirts, items signed by voice actors, and more.
While the Kickstarter Project launched with amazing momentum, the fans and Green Mustard Entertainment are reaching out to various online blogs and news sources to help get the word out to make this project a success.
Complete details of the Kickstarter can be found at www.invadercon.com/kickstarter.
What is Kickstarter? You can read about it here: www.kickstarter.com/hello
ABOUT GREEN MUSTARD ENTERTAINMENT: Started in 2001 as Wasabi Anime®, Green Mustard Entertainment, Inc. (www.greenmustard.com) is an event planning company that specializes in fan-focused entertainment for pop culture conventions. Based in Orlando, Florida, the group (as Wasabi Anime) has made appearances at some of the largest conventions in North America including Anime Expo®, Dragon*Con, Florida Supercon, and Gen Con. Independently, Green Mustard Entertainment has designed a number of conventions including PinUpalooza (a pin-up themed event,) InvaderCON (the Invader ZIM fan convention,) and WasabiCon (a multi-genre event celebrating "geek culture; extra spicy"). The staff emphatically denies and all knowledge as to the whereabouts of Elvis Presley, Jimmy Hoffa, and Tupac Shakur.
Every Zim fan needs to know this.
An official EPISODE that only made it to cast recording sessions is being animated painstakingly by some talented fans. 7 AM EASTERN Christmas morning they will show what they got done so far at SoapyWaffles.com
I've seen it at Invadercon II and let me tell you… This was a huge highlight for everyone.
Reblog and spread through every social network page you have.
The image commands you!
An update for many, a recap for some
We raised $1,127 for Toys of Hope charity at Invadercon. Instead of having fans send a themed item with their letter like other television revival/save the show campaigns, Invadercon attendees got to send personalized envelopes with vouchers. This works great since we have an insider within Nickelodeon (Katelyn Balach) interested in collecting and forwarding letters on our behalf so we don't need attention grabbing gimmicks. Instead we have evidence fans will spend money.
Jason Stiff (post production supervisor), Rikki Simons (voice of Gir) and Richard Horvitz (voice of Zim) retweeted the address for us.
Rikki and Richard mentioned Project massive, OHP, and Soapy Waffles at Dragoncon.
Jhonen posted the LA Weekly article about Invadercon that highlighted OHP and Soapy Waffles' presence.
Invadercon III could happen if Wasabi Anime reachers 10K Facebook or Twitter followers
Nicktoons revised their schedule. Zim went from Sunday afternoons and late hours on week nights to airing four times daily afternoons and mornings. The Nicktoons company (separate from Nickelodeon) would love to have new Zim so it's great they can be a bit more flexible with air times for a decade old cancelled show.
SoapyWaffles.com will let out a Mopiness of Doom preview on Christmas Day.
Our own CB Johnny is launching a Zim news site (TheIrkenAntennae.com comin soon!).
A reliable source reports there's talk of ——-*this message is interrupted by a screaming newborn llama*——- in order to
——-*further llama interruptions*
That was….Strictly off the record but we wanted you to know we are getting positive and interesting feedback. 'Sides. Our source is treating it as rumor/scuttlebutt so we will as well.
We're awaiting more concrete things to report. Stay tuned!
Are You Aware Of: Soapy Waffes (?!)
For those here to bring Zim back through Project Massive (details in next post) you owe it to yourself to check out those giving a taste of what to expect. Our talented close personal friends at Soapy Waffles (animation duo "Tallests Rose and Sarah" w/ help!) are animating the unfinished Season 2 episode Mopiness of Doomin time for Christmas and are interested in continuing with Ten Minutes To Doom.
There was a sneak preview at Invadercon II: Doomcon met with thunderous applause.
Check out SoapyWaffles.com for a portal to their social networking pages. Watch the Mopiness of Doom trailer as well as the informative video for those interested in lending a hand!

Abstract. High frequency measurements of carbon monoxide (CO) recorded over three years at Mount Waliguan (WLG), a global background station in remote western China, were examined using back trajectory analysis. Corrections for the drift in reference gases were also included in the data revision. Between July 2004 and June 2007, a time series of CO exhibited large fluctuations and the 5%, 50% and 95%-percentiles of relevant CO mixing ratios were 102 ppb, 126 ppb and 194 ppb. Approximately 50% of all observed data have been selected as CO background data using a mathematical procedure of robust local regression with the remainder affected by regional-scale pollution. The monthly mean background CO mixing ratios showed a minimum in summer and a maximum in late winter, although all seasons were effected by short-term enhancements that exceeded background levels two or more times. The CO data were compared to the values observed at the high alpine research station Jungfraujoch, Switzerland. Smaller seasonal amplitudes were observed at WLG compared to the Jungfraujoch due to lower winter and spring CO levels, however, episodic enhancements of polluted air were much greater at the site in China. The air parcels arriving at WLG came predominately from the West, except in summer when advection from the East and Southeast prevailed. Transport from the East typically brought polluted air to the site, having passed over populated urban areas upwind. A large number of elevated CO mixing ratios could also be associated with advection from the Northwest of WLG via the central Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) and the Ge'ermu urban area where growing industrial activities as well as crops residue burning provide large sources of CO. These background conditions were observed most frequently when air masses originated from remote Tibet west of WLG. The probability that air parcels pass over regions of clean or polluted regions was further identified using potential source contribution function (PSCF) analysis.

Welcome back to "Off The Deep End", where I will give you fantasy baseball tips on who to pick up in deeper leagues. For people who play standard leagues, drop/add columns are easy for you to find, but for those of you that love deeper leagues, advice can be harder to come by. That is where I can help. All of these players are available in 85% or more of ESPN leagues.
This time around we will do things a little differently. I will only do one position at a time, but I will give you advice on who to drop as well.
This final installment will deal with relief pitchers. Keep in mind that no pitchers that regularly pick up saves are available in 85 percent of leagues. This is simply a list of guys that can help your team in ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts without hurt ou in any of those categories. There also won't be anyone to drop in this piece.
Here are the previous ones, in case you missed them:
The catchers are here. The first basemen are here. The second basemen are here. The shortstops are here. The third basemen are here. The first outfield piece is here. The second outfield piece is here. The starting pitchers are here,
Jake McGee, Rays: Okay, maybe I lied. But only a little. McGee does not get regular saves. Neither does anyone else out of the Rays bullpen. The reasons to pick up McGee go beyond the occassional save opportunity. McGee is 3-0 with a 1.37 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 37 strikeouts in 32.1 innings pitched. He can help you even in standard leagues.
Wade Davis, Royals: Davis had issues as a starter, but he has found a home in the bullpen. He is 5-1 with a stellar 1.10 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. Not to mention the 54 strikeouts in just 32.2 innings pitched. He is racking up the holds, but even in leagues that don't count those, you can argue with the strikeouts.
Jean Machi, Giants: If you don't have room in a deep league for a reliever who is 5-0 with a microscopic 0.29 ERA and 0.77 WHIP, you either haven't heard of Jean Machi, or you don't realize the value of middle relievers. Both situations can be remedied with one pickup!
Tony Watson, Pirates: He won't see a save chance anytime soon, but the 5-0 record alone makes him worth owning in a deep league. Add in the 0.76 ERA and 1.04 WHIP, and you have someone who can be a solid contributor. He also has 45 strikeouts in 35.2 innings pitched, meaning he is getting enough chances to help you.
Joel Peralta, Rays: He is a bit more of a risk than a lot of the other guys on here, but he is also a candidate to pick up saves. After a rocky May, he has not allowed a run in nine June appearances, and has struck out 13 batters while allowing just four hits and a walk. He is worth picking up until he implodes.
Joba Chamberlain, Tigers: While his numbers aren't as dominant as some on this list, he is setting up (statistically) the worst closer in baseball who has not lost his job yet. I know the Tigers threw a ton of money at Joe Nathan, so they really don't want to remove him as the closer unless they have to, but that day may be drawing near. Especially if the Royals stay in contention. When Nathan loses his job, it should go to Chamberlain, which makes him a target for those of you desperate for saves.
Dana Eveland, Mets: While a mid-season call up does not usually end up taking over a closer role, it could happen here. Jenrry Mejia and Jeurys Familia are far from consistent options. Eveland has put together a 1.08 ERA and 0.60 WHIP in his nine appearances since he call up earlier this month, and has added one save. He is one blow-up away from the job to himself.

Front Page Caption: POLTERGEIST MOVIE CURSE KILLS FOUR:
Heather was latest in bizarre death list.
Cast of movie living in fear as 12-year-old star becomes mysterious victim no. 4
The cast of the chilling Poltergeist horror films is living in fear of a deadly curse that has already claimed the lives of four of the movies' stars.
The latest victims of the terrifying jinx was 12-year-old Heather O'Rourke, who became an overnight sensation with her eerie lines, "They're Heeere!" and "They're Back!" in the popular flicks about a family plagued by evil spirits.
Heather, who recently completed Poltergeist III, died from what puzzled doctors could only describe as "complications of an intestinal infection and septic shock."
She was rushed to a hosptial near her home in Big Bear, California, where she suffered cardiac arrest.
She was resuscitated and flown to Children's Hospital in San Diego for surgery, but died during the operation. Medical experts called her death "a one-in-a million event."
Three other Poltergeist stars had earlier died unexpectedly:
[*] Dominique Dunne, then 22, who played Heather's older sister in the first film, was brutally strangled by a crazed boyfriend outside her West Hollywood home in October 1982.
[*] Will Sampson, 53, an Indian actor who played a medicine man trying to rid the family of its
curse, died last year after going through a risky heart-lung operation.
[*] Julian Beck, 60, who played the paranoid preacher of doom, died of cancer very soon after the release of Poltergeist II in 1985.
Heather's close pals in the Poltergeist series, including director Steven Spielberg and co-stars Craig T.Nelson
and JoBeth Williams, were stunned by her death.
"It is a tradegy that only the people who knew her could feel," says Nelson. "She was very special."
Williams called it "A shocking loss. She was a wonderful person who I came to love very much. She really knew how to fit into people's lives and add a ray of sunshine."
The series of deaths had strengthened spine-tingling tales of evil forces haunting all three productions.
"Ever since these films started, there has been tragedy after tragedy," says one of the production team.
"It's like the movies have been cursed. I think the Poltergeist movies have unleashed something evil --- and very dangerous.
There was also a rash of unusual injuries. "One guy twisted his ankle, another hurt his ribs," the insider says.
"And there was a lot of tripping and falling on things."
"But the weirdest thing of all was when the film came back blank after the first day's shooting.
"Iv'e been in this business for 15 years, and I've never seen that happen before."
Sampson, a real life medicine man, conducted an impromtu exorcism to rid the site of its demons.
"It seemed to work," says the insider. "Everyone was more at ease knowing that something had been done about the evil presence."
Heather was one of the few cast members who remained indifferent toward demons and ghosts.
"Im really not scared of spooky things," she told an interviewer.
"When I have to look really frightened, I concentrate on scary things like losing my kittens or something like that."
There's been tragedy after tragedy since these films started, says one insider.
Poltergeist II co-stars Heather O'Rourke and Will Sampson (top) both died on the operating table.
Julian Beck (above) was felled by cancer, and Dominique Dunne (right) was murdered by a boyfriend.

Intel: Thunderbolt to storm PCs this year
By Barry Collins
Posted on 28 Feb 2013 at 16:05
Intel expects a "significant ramp" in the number of PCs shipping with Thunderbolt ports this year.
Introduced in early 2011, the high-speed Thunderbolt interconnect has been embraced across Apple's Mac line-up, but is rarely found on even the most high-end of PCs.
Speaking exclusively to PC Pro, Intel's director of marketing for Thunderbolt, Jason Ziller, says 2013 will be the year we start to see more mainstream adoption on PCs.
"There's actually about 20 PCs and motherboards on the market with Thunderbolt," he said. "We're looking at a fairly significant ramp in the PC and motherboard space this year, particularly on some of the new Haswell [processor] platforms that are coming out this year."
Ziller claims the number of Thunderbolt peripherals is also expanding rapidly, with many devices that have already been certified by Intel for Mac now going through the "rigorous" approval process for Windows. "We have a another 15 to 20 devices going through the pipeline right now," Ziller said, adding that meeting the demands of 10Gbit/sec signalling was "quite challenging".
Ultrabook spec
One way Intel could ensure rapid adoption of Thunderbolt would be to make it a compulsory part of its Ultrabook specification, but Ziller said Intel is reluctant to push the technology on price-conscious PC makers.
"Thunderbolt is listed as recommended, but it's not part of the baseline requirement," said Ziller. "The reason for that is Thunderbolt is a little bit of a cost-adder. Thunderbolt is really targeted at premium Ultrabooks - and laptops, workstations across the board - and heavily focused on users doing things with AV and media, because that's where you get the best result.
"We don't expect it to go top-to-bottom any time soon," he added.
Thunderbolt wouldn't be the first advanced connector to fall by the wayside - IEEE 1394/FireWire, eSATA and DisplayPort have all struggled to achieve mainstream adoption. Ziller is confident Thunderbolt won't suffer the same fate, but is equally nervous about positioning it as a USB killer.
"I wouldn't call it [Thunderbolt] niche - we see it scaling fairly significantly over the next couple of years," he said. "I couldn't say if we would expect it to be completely ubiquitous, from top to bottom, like USB is."

Let's just come clean on this. Thunderbolt is aimed at big spenders and is a Firewire. replacement. USB is a low cost general usage connectivity device. Why did Intel target Apple for Thunderbolt in the first place?
Despite all the hype Thunderbolt is dead in the water as a mass market interface.

Road Construction Projects
Updates on current roadway and related projects and major street closures in Chandler
October 2014
Important Links:
Alma School/Chandler Blvd Improvement Project: Plans are underway to improve traffic flow and safety at this intersection by adding dual left turn lanes, dedicated right turn lanes, and an auxiliary through lane in each direction. The project also includes new storm drains, curb, gutter, sidewalks, signals and landscaping. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2016 with more than 80 percent of the construction cost funded by a $5.5 million Highway Safety Improvement Program grant from the Federal Highway Administration. The Alma School/Chandler Boulevard intersection handles approximately 61,000 vehicles per day and had the fourth highest collision rate in the City in 2012. A 'before and after' crash analysis of seven similar intersection improvement projects in Chandler showed accidents decreased an average of 35 percent. For more information about the project, contact Hafiz Noor at 480-782-3324.
Chandler Boulevard Water Main Tie-over & Extension (McQueen to Cooper roads):
Improvements to the water main system beneath Chandler Boulevard between McQueen and Cooper roads will result in traffic restrictions beginning in early June 2014. Water service and business access will be maintained during construction, but traffic lanes will be shifted to accommodate the work. The project will cost approximately $1 million and involve the abandonment of an old water main and the installation of new service connections to an existing, newer water main. Excavation of trenches in the streets is required and any landscaping disturbed by the construction will be replaced. Work is scheduled to conclude by November 2014. For more information, contact John Knudson, 480-782-3590 or Sandra Story, 480-782-3588.
Frye Road Manhole Rehab Project (Price Rd to Alma School Road):
Frye Road between Price and Alma School roads will experience minor traffic restrictions beginning in August while more than 50 aging manholes are rehabilitated. A contractor working for the City, Achen-Gardner Construction, will begin the work Mon., Aug. 18, and complete the project by Thanksgiving. Construction will not remain in one place, but move down the road west-to-east as repairs are made. Work areas will be minimized as much as possible to reduce traffic impacts and access to homes and businesses will be maintained at all times. Work will occur Monday thru Friday, with some evening and weekend work possible. For more information, call 480-782-3335. Project location map.
Gilbert Road Improvements (Queen Creek Rd to Hunt Hwy):
The City is widening Gilbert Road between Queen Creek Road and Hunt Highway through a series of phased projects. The roadway has been widened to six lanes between Queen Creek and Ocotillo roads and will transition to four lanes between Ocotillo Road and Hunt Highway. The projects include the construction of landscaped medians, bike lanes, curb, gutter, sidewalks, right and left turn lanes, bus pullouts, and extensive water, reclaimed water, and sewer work. Improvements from Queen Creek Road to just south of Chandler Heights Road have been completed. Construction on the next phase of improvements from south of Chandler Heights Road to Hunt Highway began in September, 2014. Work is to be completed by mid-July 2015. We thank you for your continued patience during this construction. Regular e-updates are provided during construction. To be added to our distribution or for questions or comments, please contact our project hotline at 480-898-4100, or visit www.gilbertroadimprovements.com.
McQueen Road Improvements (Ocotillo Rd to Riggs Rd):
This project will widen McQueen Road to four lanes between Ocotillo and Riggs roads. The project will include new curb, gutter, storm drain, sidewalks, streetlights, bike lanes, medians and landscaping. The roadway has been designed and construction of the segment between Ocotillo Road and Chandler Heights Road is anticipated to commence in Fall 2014. For more information contact Paul Young at 480-782-3146. Watch the video above on South Chandler projects for more information.
Public Meeting Summary (PDF)
Public Meeting Display Board (PDF - Large file may take several minutes to download).
Ocotillo Road Improvements (Arizona Ave. to McQueen Road):
Construction crews in late 2013 widened a bridge over the Consolidated Canal which crosses Ocotillo Road between Arizona Avenue and McQueen Road. The work was the first phase of the Ocotillo Road Improvement Project from Arizona Avenue to McQueen Road. The widening of the canal bridge was done ahead of the roadway improvements to accommodate Salt River Project's dry-up schedule for the Consolidated Canal. Future phases of the Ocotillo Road Improvement Project include utility relocation work early 2014 and the widening of Ocotillo Road to four lanes between Arizona Avenue and McQueen Road in the fall of 2014. For more information about the project or upcoming public meeting, contact the project hotline at 480-898-4060 or visit www.OcotilloRoadImprovements.com.

I have been perturbed about Delta's near abandonment of CVG and regularly seek alternative methods of travel to my southeast Florida home. It was US Air's turn. The round trip originated at Palm Beach International (PBI) due to a previous alternative, driving. Since there are no longer direct flights, thanks to Delta, we were to […]

Arlinghaus commended for stand on airport board
01/10/14 at 7:56am by Letters Editor | Comments
Kenton County Judge-executive Steve Arlinghaus should be commended for standing strong against efforts to take over control of the Kenton County Airport Board. The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is one of the most valuable assets owned by Kenton County, and as a Kenton County resident, I'm proud that Arlinghaus wants to keep it that way.

Who tipped off reporter about CVG?
12/17/13 at 4:50pm by Letters Editor | Comments
When examining from the outside such stories as the write up of the CVG Airport board kerfuffle, two things should mark the discussion. 1. Source – whose ax is grinding in bringing this to the attention of your reporter and could that motive be more relevant than the offense charged? 2. Substance – NKY has […]

Steve Arlinghaus continues to raise taxes and enjoys the open bar – on our dime. What "great" plans does he have for us next? Ah, the magic of influence and power! After reading "CVG board big givers to Arlinghaus" (Dec. 10) and previous Enquirer reports, I encourage every Kenton County property owner to take a […]
CVG performance is bigger issue
12/16/13 at 7:26am by Letters Editor | Comments
Your expose about the shenanigans among CVG board members certainly raises questions about the integrity, character and overall Machiavellian traits of the individuals involved. However, it is time to address the bigger issue -their performance as a governing body. During my recent travels to Houston over the Thanksgiving holidays, flying out on Wednesday before Thanksgiving […]
Meal expenditures for CVG board not excessive

Regarding the article about meal expenditures for the CVG board of $102,000 over five years.

Compare that to members of corporate boards, who are well compensated and are entertained and fed on the corporations dime, […]

It would appear that CVG chairman Jim Huff and vice chairman Larry Savage need to be removed from their positions on the CVG board ("CVG board votes to hire investigator," Dec. 5). Since information started appearing in The Enquirer, it has appeared that the board, with Huff and Savage as the driving force, has systematically […]
NKY is the right side of the river to live
12/12/13 at 7:24am by Letters Editor | Comments
I read with great amusement about how Kenton County "stole" the airport from Cincinnati. This goes to show just how long NKY politicians have been making Cincinnati politicians look incompetent. It is one of many examples (such as NKY developing an entertainment mecca on their riverfront a decade before Cincinnati developed The Banks) where the […]

CVG could probably have brought Southwest Airlines to the airport but Dayton better fits their business model.

Panasonic Toughpad JT-B1 review
A rock-solid and well-specified tough tablet, but the high price means it's a luxury most businesses will find hard to justify
Review Date: 8 Aug 2013
Price when reviewed: £708 (£850 inc VAT)
Features & Design
Value for Money
Panasonic's Toughpad is the only ruggedised Android tablet on the market, and it's clearly a different proposition to most of the svelte, glossy devices we've reveiewed recently at PC Pro. Its chunky grey exterior is ringed with a thick band of rubbery plastic and, at 18mm thick and 544g, it's the bulkiest 7in tablet around.
The bulk isn't only for show – this tablet is designed to last. It's IP65-compliant, which means it's protected against dust ingress and water jets, and Panasonic has performed its own drop tests. The company claims the JT-B1 can survive falls of up to 150cm.
It's also packed with the sort of sensible touches you won't find anywhere else. The 5,720mAh battery on the rear is removable, and the Toughpad's DC socket and micro-USB port are kept safe behind a lockable port. A flap hides the headphone jack, and there's also a trio of customisable physical shortcut buttons beneath the 7in screen.
The range of customisation options is extensive: the three buttons can be used to open apps, adjust the volume, take screenshots and even replace the Toughpad's onscreen home, back and menu options. The buttons can be assigned different tasks for long or short presses, too.
All of Panasonic's hard-wearing design features fade into the background when the Toughpad is turned on. The LCD panel's measured brightness of 684cd/m2 is this month's brightest, and it's combined with an anti-glare coating, so the 600 x 1,024 panel is easy to read even in the brightest sunlight.
It isn't all good news, though. The anti-reflective layer makes the screen extremely grainy, and the contrast ratio of 627:1 means black levels aren't as deep as we'd like. As this tablet wasn't designed with gaming or movie-watching in mind, though, that's less of a problem than it would be on a consumer tablet.
The poor responsiveness of the screen, however, is a problem. We found it required sharp prods, rather than gentle taps, to register touches.
Panasonic has crammed virtually every feature imaginable into the Toughpad's chunky chassis. The full complement of sensors sits alongside NFC, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi and a microSD card slot, although, irritatingly, you have to remove the battery to access it.
The Toughpad also has something no other tablet in this test offers: a 13-megapixel autofocus camera. It's easily the best of the cameras in this Labs, and its reliably sharp shots are aided by an LED flash for low-light photography.
One area where the Toughpad doesn't stand out is its CPU. It's powered by a TI OMAP 4460 dual-core part that runs at 1.5GHz, which struggled in the benchmarks. Its score of 1,115 in Geekbench means it's barely half as quick as the fastest compact tablets, and its result of 2.7fps in GFXBench is dreadful. It isn't the slickest tablet to use, either, with juddering menus and slow app loading times.
It's just as well the battery life is good: the Toughpad lasted 11hrs in our looping video test, placing it up there with the best tablets on the market.
That might have been enough to soften our opinion of the Panasonic Toughpad JT-B1 had the price not be so ridiculously high. We appreciate a lot of effort went into turning it into a super-tough tablet, ready for anything life can throw at it, but it's almost nine times the price of the Nook HD. Even the most affluent businesses may balk at the idea of paying that much.
Ridiculous price?
Given the limited market for tough devices and the costs for certification and testing - the devices are tested pretty much to destruction for MIL and IP - after the IP65 tests are complete, they completely dismantle the device to see if water or dust has entered the casing; and the testing lab dismantle it how they see fit, they actually state on the contract that the device might be destroyed during the dismantling process.
Additionally, you need higher quality components on the casing, to ensure they are robust and water proof.
For our terminals, a cable channel bolt costs a couple of Euros, once that is IP65 compliant is 4 - 5 times the price, an IP67 or 69K certified part is probably 10 times the price.
That goes for all externals, including buttons, you can't use the standard volume buttons, home button etc. they need to be specially designed to resist dust and water, they cost more than the few cents a normal one for a normal tablet costs.
In our target industry, food production, the tablets and terminals are subject to constantly humid conditions, are splattered with blood, fat and other fluids all day long and are cleaned at the end of the shift with a high pressure cleaner.
The Toughpad might be expensive, compared to a Nexus 7, but if it can survive this sort of environment, it very quickly works out cheaper, when you don't need several replacements per shift!
The biggest problem for us is that we can't use capacitive touch, because the users generally wear chain-mail gloves and use a knife to select items on the screen - which reduces the life expectancy of the screen.
These types of tablets aren't designed for consumer use, they are designed for verticals where they will be constantly pushed to the extremes defined by MIL SPEC and IP. That makes them pretty good value for money in their target market.

Almost certainly useful to certain businesses
Definitely a niche product, which also partly explains the price, they ain't gonna be shifting a lot of these.
