K Crunch Indie: Koxx, Casker, Loro's, and Monodiary
1) The Koxx "12:00″
Let's start by saying that we totally want to hang out with these guys. We found out about them via an MTV article about them, and we fell in love with their stuff instantly. Bought their album on iTunes, watched a bunch of their videos, and knew that we'd have to talk about them for K Crunch. This song, 12:00, is a lot different than another one of our favourite songs by them, Troublemaker, but both songs are rock your socks awesome. Side note: we sometimes go dancing at the club they're playing at in the Troublemaker video: Club FF.
2) Casker "New World"
Ok, this is a new song, while the Koxx is a bit older. Wow! Totally love this group as well. We really like cute sounding songs, and this is right up our alley. Gosh! The singer's voice is so sweet! Anyhow, Casker's been around for a while, and this song isn't one that's off their own album, but it for a soundtrack put together by Pastel Music (which the Koxx will also feature in). Read more about it over at Korean Indie
3) Loro's "Let's Dance"
We find it cool when we have some kind of connection to a band that we listen to. We actually saw the Cello player in an event a while ago. She wasn't playing the Cello back then. She was jamming away at a keyboard, but she was still awesome. Anyhow, that was a random story. More importantly, even though this song is really long (comparable to the three other songs on this list COMBINED) we're totally digging the atmospheric, epic rock sound of this song. It's very different from the other two songs we mentioned thus far on the list, and hopefully you'll like it as much as we do. If you are, read more about them over at Korean Indie (by the way, yes, we like linking to Korean Indie. They're good people and are doing a great job of covering the Indie scene here.
4) Monodiary "Memories of a Song"
Last on our list comes courtesy of a video request and – allow us to say this again – thank you Ginny (I hope that's how you spell your name) for introducing us to this band. We didn't actually know of Monodiary before. Ah! Feels like we should be ashamed. But isn't that always the case with Indie artists? We find that whenever we have conversations with people about Indie bands, we'll list off like, 7, before we finally hit on one that we both know. So maybe we shouldn't feel so bad about not knowing Monodiary? Anyhow, this is another cute song, akin to Casker's "New World," so check it out if you're in a happy, skippy, cutey state of mind :D
Filed Under:
Korean Indie Playlist-
This is a bit late (and by 'a bit late' I mean a lot late…five months late…) BUT I love Loro/Roro/Lolo's sound!!! This may or may not be the wine speaking (White Zinfandel, how do I love thee, let me count the ways) but I would really just like to lay in the middle of one of their sessions and have them play the most beautiful music all around me. Excellent comparison to Explosions in the Sky. Something, Something, Brave New World!
And… it's time for bed…
I love your indie playlists! :D
Really liked this one…I think my favorite is Monodiary's Memories of a song
I want to
share with you this very funny song and MV. This music is really catchy and
video is so simple and fun. The hand dance is furious :D I hope you'd like
it. And Martina, get well soon!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixfXGcuINx4&feature=player_embedded#!
plz review Idiotape & Achime.
these 2 are my favorite bands recently.
Idiotape : http://youtu.be/XOPa_CeQ5yo
Achime : http://youtu.be/hhMnJZmXUsU -
Hey Simon and Martina! Love the Indie section. I have an older group you guys might dig… I heard them my 1st year in Korea (3 years ago) ^-^…There name is Jaurim and this is literally the 1st Korean music video I ever saw EVAR. This song has a bit of a circusy feel to it..It is strange but uber cool!! ㅋㅋ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrSZBam5sIs
Thanks for playing The Koxx. I read that same article a while back and have been digging on them ever since.
Hey Simon and Martina,
I think you guys should really check out Vanilla Unity- In the shadows. This is a great song, i think anyways. I am pretty sure they have disbanded but they were a great group, and their bassist was on season 6 of ulzzang shidae :p Check it out
Dear Simon and Martina,
I have a question that I really hope you will answer!!
Ok so in the clip in the playlist above before "Memories of the Song" (which I loved btw…), Simon, you named several songs starting with "Ya Ya Ya" by T-Ara. What was the last song?? You even sang some of the chorus!! I couldn't understand the name of the song and was really curious!! Pretty please with a cherry on top, could you tell me the name of that song and the artist??
Thanks so much for making these videos!!!-
Katamari Damacy is a video game.
Darn… oh well. Thanks anyway ^^
Just saying the album the that 12:00 from the koxx is on is awesome :3 If everyone gets a chance check out the whole album.
Hello, I would like to suggest a song more than a video because I couldn´t find an official video or something like that and I think it´s maybe k-pop? I hope you like the song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRexxEJlA6c&feature=g-wl&context=G209a664AWAAAAAAABAA -
Have you heard StorySeller? They are nice~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsdc8Nln78I&list=PL2A2B3A8299FF493D&context=C3aeb55cADOEgsToPDskIsHpUqcM3Oel7J3WZ_sf5G -
I'm a little confused by the Loro's song. At the top it says it's called 'Dream(S)1′ Is that dance in some Korean text speak? :(
Sorry. We had the wrong video up. Argh!
Dear Simon & Martina, take a look to Jambinai.
I'm fascinated by their music and I really want to bring them in Europe. They combine traditional Korean music with the best of psychedelia and minimalism. Quality, innovation and tradition at the same time!
Lots of cuddles to Spudgy
PS: If you like them, on March 2 they will play at Club Freebird (Hongdae) -
Supercalifragilistic selection again guys, will excitedly look forward to the next installment. Have you come across Sogyumo Acacia Band? I love their sound, quite slow yet upliftingly endearing:
And although I know you guys aren't fans of slower songs, this one really made me fall deeper into the Korean indie scene (either that or it'll just make you wanna fall down a well):
Manana :)
Hi Simon and Martina! Have you guys heard Casker's song "Mocha?" It's really cute, even though I don't understand a word haha.
Hope you guys are doing well and having fun in Korea! You guys are so fun and quirky, it's awesome and so infectious. Makes my day happier! :)
if you're the cutsy type, you should definitely check out standingEGG
they have their own youtube channel too! -
a) I love EVERY SONG on the K-Crunch this week. It's so good!
b) I'm about to buy The Koxx *sniggers* >___<
c) That animation is a 3D animation with a photoshop filter applied to it Simon, is not 2D animation. I could explain in detail how they do the effect but it's pretty complex and boring if you don't understand 3D computer rendering.
d) I love yo faces! -
I never knew you could use a bow on an electric guitar until I saw Loro's video. O_O! Anyway, Loro's song has this kind of therapeutic effect on me. I feel at ease listening to it.
And I totally LOVE Monodiary's song. It's so cute~
Also, if you read this comment, PLEASE PLEASE listen to Standing Egg's "La La La". I'm sure you guys will like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4cz_X87Z90&list=PL9769DDAF12597F34&index=5&feature=plpp_video -
OMG! I discovered The Koxx yesterday and I was thinking that I should tell you about them! I'm so happy right now! They're awesome! :D
Do you know how I found out abot them? T.O.P. is listening The Words in his spot for Naver music :D -
Caskerrrrrrr xD
I discovered them a while back ago and totally love their music! :)-
Ps. and one thing I like about Indie song is the MVs. Since what they are trying to sell is the music itself, there is no need to focus on oppas and unnies faces so they can make the music video in any way they like x)
OMG OMG OMG <3<3<3 good music :D love you Simon and Martina :D I wanted to ask you Martina something :D you mentioned in one of yours videos word "baka" so in my language that means Grandma :D so are born in Canada or you have someone from Balkan :D that would be so awesome :D xx
Sorry…you said something? All I could read was "BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY BUNYY!"
:D ahahahahahahahahaahahh
the koxx hahaha….its hard to understand the English in the song(:!~!
that's some cool music. Thank u for acquainting us with some non-kpop stuff, always loved Indie and now I can combine those two interests of mine:) didn't know Korea has such stuff, the music's rly awesome <3
Simon – Have you ever seen "Dynamic Gym Show" on Korean TV? Truly a fascinating idea! You should guest host and be one of the Cool Guys. So bizzare and Engrishy. "Hey baby, have you ever dated one of the Cool Guys?"
No, never heard of it. Sounds like it would be funny, though.
OH YEAH THE KOXX OPPARS!!! 8D luv them~
i get the feeling ~korean indie~ has a very elaborate taste in korean indie, i loooove roro/lolo/whatevs!!!!!
also monodiary's video and song is really cute ;3;/<3 -

Hey all,
After transplant this year, I saw a significant level of leaf color lost in most of my plants. I am planting 5 JalapeÒo, 5 Serrano, 3 Caribbean Red Habanero, 1 Cayenne, 1 Aji Amarillo, and 3 Naga Jolokia. All of my transplants are slowly getting their green back, except for my JalapeÒo plants. They seem to have lost the most color and aren't getting it back. They are still upright and healthy looking otherwise. I had all of my seedlings in a cold frame that I used to harden them off by gradually leaving it open for longer periods of time until I just left the top off of it for a couple of days immediately before transplant. Either way, all of my other plants are recovering swimmingly. Anybody have any ideas on what I can do to get them back to a healthy green? I can take some pictures tonight when I get home if that would help. I fertilized the beds with Jobes Organic Vegetable and Tomato Granular Fertilizer prior to transplant. Here's a link. http://www.backyardstyle.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-32360 Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
That fertilizer has little nitrogen. Nitrogen makes green. Give them a small amount more nitrogen and see what happens but not too much. A fish and seaweed mix emulsion should do the trick for the rest of the season. |
- Posted by greenman28 Nor Cal 7/8 (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 10 at 12:22
Remember, if temps are still fairly cool, not all nutrients will be available. As long as the plants aren't yellow from too much moisture, they should green nicely as soon as the temps increase. Josh |
- Posted by cyrus_gardner 8 (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 10 at 23:14
Agree with Greenman. Younger transplants will stay light green until the weather really warms up. I have started and planted peppers and tomatoes at the same time. The tomatoes have golf ball size fruits but peppers dont even have flowers. Peppers needs much warmer soil, air and sun than most garden veggies. |
- Posted by andythehotpepperguy 5 (My Page) on Fri, May 21, 10 at 10:25
Thanks for the advice, everyone. I think I will wait for the temps to rise. We have had especially cool and cloudy weather since I transplanted. |
I would lean more towards the nutrients being the issue. I planted some jalapeno's in some soil i bought at home depot. It ended up being the crappiest soil that i've ever purchased. It basically looked like mulch. I was pretty upset as they were advertising it as potting soil not mulch. It turns out that i went to the dollar store and bough much better soil than at home depot - who would have thought. The jalapeno's started our really well and green then they went pale green and started going yellow whereas the other peppers that were started in dollar store soil are doing excellent. |
- Posted by andythehotpepperguy 5 (My Page) on Mon, May 24, 10 at 8:26
Problem solved! I'm thinking that it was a combination of too much rain and temperatures being too low. We finally got two consecutive hot and sunny days and the leaves are greening up quickly! What a relief! |
- Posted by greenman28 Nor Cal 7/8 (My Page) on Mon, May 24, 10 at 9:38
Great! I figured it would correct itself... ;) Josh |
- Posted by scott 9(email@example.com) onSat, Apr 9, 11 at 13:19
hello everyone, i have a garden, and all of my jalapeno plants are not doing so well, the leaves are turning yellow, the plants have flowers and start to produce jalapenos but end up falling off. the new leaves are still green but are shriveling, I do not over-water the plants and do not use fertilizer. the plants are planted in a raised garden in potting soil can someone please help me out and give me some suggestions thank you |

The Packaging
The external packaging contains most of the information that prospective buyers look for. The front is quite subtle, but that is also the nature of Enermax. Here we see simply the output capacity, 80 Plus Gold Rating, and SLI Ready logos.
The back is where Enermax fills you in on absolutely everything going on with the MODU87+ 800W PSU. Virtually every bit of information on this power supply is listed here, even if it is a bit crammed in there. Since the sides of the box do not contain any information, it would have been nice to have some of this spread out for readability.
The bottom of the box contains repeated information from the back, but lists it in a multitude of languages for those around the globe.

MorphoSys has always had a reputation for great technology, but increasingly the Company's comprehensive pipeline is taking center stage. By maximizing the number of programs based on its technology, MorphoSys increases its future upside and reduces the risk which always accompanies the development of new medicines. The list of product candidates developed by the Company's partners includes exciting programs such as Roche's Alzheimer's disease antibody Gantenerumab, Janssen Biotech's anti-inflammatory antibody Guselkumab and Novartis's BHQ880, a first-in-class cancer antibody that promotes bone formation in multiple myeloma patients.
MorphoSys's proprietary programs complement the larger contribution to its pipeline from pharmaceutical partnerships. Its most important proprietary compound is the anti-inflammatory antibody MOR103. This program has successfully concluded a phase 1b/2a trial in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and is being evaluated in a phase 1b in multiple sclerosis. MOR103 also has the potential to treat other inflammatory diseases. MOR103 is part of MorphoSys's collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline.
MorphoSys's distinctive and sustainable business model has put the Company in a very strong financial position. This strength provides the foundations for a substantially increased investment in proprietary product and technology development, which, in turn, will drive growth and value generation. The Company's ability to fund all internal development activities while remaining profitable is a unique feature of its business model, setting it apart from the majority of high-risk, cash-burning biopharmaceutical companies.
The pipeline is increasingly taking center stage.
The Company's own product development activities are increasingly becoming visible.

The Marsa Cricket Club
The Marsa Cricket Club is housed within the facilities of its parent Main Club, the Marsa Sports & Country Club. The Marsa CC is affiliated to the Malta Cricket Association.
Situated in the Mediterranean, the Maltese Islands boast a temperate climate permitting all-year-round cricket. Very occasional rain showers might fall in the Winter months of November – February but matches are rarely cancelled or abandoned. Cricket continues during the Summer months of Jun – Sept with shade temperatures around 38°C in August. Mainly you can expect sunny, mild conditions with a slight breeze to top up your sun-tan.
Cricket has been played on the existing site for over a century. A cricket match is played every Saturday at the club, with touring sides offered both weekend and midweek matches. Any keen cricketer, on holiday or business, is very welcome to join the locals in one of the regular Saturday matches.
The club's central position makes it easily accessible with local transport. However large groups, such as cricket teams, are advised to use chauffeur-driven mini-buses or self-drive cars as the best means of transport to the club. With low fare airlines regularly coming to Malta from all over Europe you could travel for as little as €25 Euro.
Whether you are visiting Malta for a few days, or you are looking to organise a team, or you would like to involve your children in the coaching academy, please do get in contact. You can enjoy playing with the past and future members of the National Malta Squad. We are a competitive club based on fun, involvement and development in the game. You will be given a friendly reception.
We, with the MCA welcome you to the Malta Cricket Association website and we hope you enjoy reading about recent games and the club.

Business Briefing— Global
The young guns taking the tea world by storm, mobile markets and an eco-friendly super-yacht.
The young guns taking the tea world by storm, mobile markets and an eco-friendly super-yacht.
Liu, co-founder of JUCCCE, the Joint US-China Collaboration on Clean Energy, organised the fourth China Energy Clean Technology Forum last year.
Is China serious about environmental change? With the 11th and 12th Five Year Plans for the nation, China has set firm targets for emissions and energy reductions. China is clearly not doing this in response to international pressures or simply climate change, but the growing reality that energy, water and food security are key to the future.
How are businesses reacting to the government's push to become more sustainable? Hedging your bets and having insurance towards future fluctuations in energy, water and water prices and inputs just makes business sense in a country that is still the factory of the world. These input prices affect competitiveness, so local companies are paying attention.
What does this mean for the next wave of Chinese to join the urban middle classes? More than half a billion people were lifted out of poverty in China because of land redistribution reforms – but that is unreplicable today. China is about producing and selling goods. GDP is reliant on this. As they consider the future flow of growth, there is an overlap between poverty reduction and environmental stability.
How can the average person guarantee against these fluctuations? The next achievable miracle may come from the ability of farmers or anyone with a rooftop to generate and sell electricity on their own. This could be international: anyone with space, equipment and microfinance.
Are there already examples? In Germany, farmers are putting solar panels on fields and finding it doesn't interfere with sunlight or affect crop yields.

Students excitedly turn over sod and fill three raised plant beds with soil. Then they plant the seedlings whose growth and life cycle they will later track before eating the fruits of their labor.
As summer approaches, instruction in several Prince George's County schools — such as Gaywood Elementary in Lanham and Scotchtown Hills Elementary in Laurel, where students helped plant new gardens last week — is moving outside.
Gaywood and Scotchtown Hills elementary schools will join at least a dozen others in providing gardens for hands-on environmental education lessons on how plants grow, what role plants play in a balanced diet, and why gardeners place more than one type of plant in each bed.
"A lot of the kids don't have gardens in their own homes," said Jessica Harvey, a fourth-grade teacher at Scotchtown Hills who spearheaded the planning for the school's garden, which opened Thursday. "They can actually get out there and see it's not hard to have a garden."
Students at Scotchtown Hills planted apple and pear trees, and assembled six raised plant beds that will go along with a Growing Healthy Habits curriculum from the Food Supplement Nutrition Education program of the University of Maryland Extension, said Deborah Archer, a project leader with the program.
"Students have this buy-in," Archer said. "They are cultivating, maintaining ... and then they harvest."
Ten Prince George's County schools have received or will receive next school year a $500 renewable grant from the FSNE program for their gardens, Archer said.
Scotchtown Hills Elementary and Gaywood Elementary received donated materials from local home improvements stores, teachers at both schools said, and Gaywood Elementary put $500 from another grant toward its garden.
The Growing Healthy Habits curriculum emphasizes healthy eating habits, physical activity and family time prompted by gardening, Archer said, but students also practice their math and language arts skills while gardening.
Teachers at Scotchtown Hills and Gaywood said students will measure plant growth and the amount of water needed, and they might respond to journal prompts about gardening.
"We hope it provides a multitude of unique experiences to draw a lesson plan off of," said Jacob Novick, a bilingual character education coordinator at Gaywood Elementary.
He said students might learn about composting, the migration of monarch butterflies and water conservation through the use of rain barrels.
At some schools, students and parents volunteer to water and care for the gardens over the summer. At others, custodians and year-round staff members watch over the gardens during school breaks.
The lessons being planned by teachers at both schools correlate with the state's year-old environmental literacy additions to science and social studies curricula. The eight strands touch on sustainability, environmental issues, humans' effect of natural resources and other topics, according to state department of education documents.
But it's more memorable when students learn about the environment in their own garden, Harvey said.
Kiarra Fennell, a first-grade student from Lanham who helped turn over the soil in preparation for planting at Gaywood Elementary on May 22, said she has already learned plants need soil to grow.
Kiarra and her mother, Yolanda Fennell, grow canteloupe, squash and green peppers at home, they said. But Fennell said she is glad Kiarra will learn about the environment at school, too.
"When you teach them [about the environment] here, it also teaches them math and reading," Fennell said of her 7-year-old daughter. "I'd like for her to get into environmental science."

Minnesota military members who have served at any time in the preceeding 24 months in federal active military service outside the United States and who have been discharged from active service can take small game without a license (with official military discharge papers) and obtain one free deer license.
The DNR agreed last month to help fund a national study that, among other things, will determine if the students who participate in the National Archery in the Schools Program become target archers and hunters. During the last four years, more than 150 Minnesota schools have begun working with the DNR to teach archery as part of their physical education curriculum. More than 60,000 youth participate in this program each year.
Take A Kid Hunting Weekend is Sept. 22-23. During this weekend adult residents who are accompanied by a youth under age 16 may hunt small game without a license but must comply with open seasons, limits and other regulations.
Future Pheasant Hunters Weekend is Oct. 27-28. Together with Pheasant Forever chapters, the DNR encourages pheasant hunters to introduce a young person to hunting this weekend. Many youngsters will be hunting this weekend following mentoring sessions earlier in the year.
Forest legacy conservation lands open for public hunting
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will post online maps to more than 6,400 acres of forestland open to public hunting under conservation easements.
Maps of Forest Legacy Partnership land open to public hunting are online at HYPERLINK "http://www.mndnr.gov" www.mndnr.gov.
Surplus fall turkey permits available Sept. 17
Applicants who were unsuccessful in the 2007 fall wild turkey lottery may purchase surplus licenses starting at noon on Sept. 17, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced today.
Permits will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Hunters must appear in person at any DNR license agent to obtain one of the surplus permits. A list of agents is available at HYPERLINK "http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/licenses/agents.html" http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/licenses/agents.html.
Because hunting access in many zones with surplus permits is limited, hunters should obtain landowner permission before the purchase deadline. The fall turkey hunt consists of two five-day seasons. Season A is Oct. 17-21. Season B is Oct. 24-28.
DNR Question of the Week: Waterfowl Hunting
Q: How does Minnesota decide the date for the waterfowl opener, season length and bag limit?
A: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with input from the States and Flyway councils, decides the annual waterfowl hunting frameworks, which include the earliest opening and latest closing dates, maximum season length, and duck bag limits. These are established based on the continental status of mallards, habitat conditions and a model-based process called Adaptive Harvest Management. For the regular duck season, these guidelines are the same for all states in the Mississippi Flyway, including Minnesota. States always have the option to be more restrictive than the Federal frameworks.
In 2005, the State Legislature mandated that the duck season in Minnesota open no earlier than the Saturday nearest Oct. 1, one week later that permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The DNR is allowing a six-duck bag limit this year after implementing a state imposed four-duck bag limit the past two years.
For 2007, the DNR continues to maintain a one hen mallard/day limit, although the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would allow two. Bag limits for some species (wood ducks, pintails, canvasbacks, etc.) are established based on their continental population status and expected harvest.
The DNR also considers the status of Minnesota's breeding duck populations and hunter preferences before establishing seasons each year.

How did Thunder Over Louisville get started?
In just 24 years, what started as a better than average fireworks display has become the pinnacle of pyrotechnics. Thunder is the nation's largest annual fireworks event. It is also one of the top five air shows in the country. Fireworks have been a part of celebrating the Kentucky Derby Festival since the 1960's. Various displays occurred on different nights of the week and locations such as Oxmoor Center in East Jefferson County, including sites along the Ohio River.
The Festival had its first "opening ceremonies" event in 1990 at Cardinal Stadium featuring recording artist Janie Frickie and a fireworks show. That led to the first "Thunder" in 1991, held downtown over the Ohio River. With the support of the community, sponsors and city officials, the show has become the region's largest annual event, attracting a regional and even national audience. The air show was slowly added as a way to stagger the crowd entering the event and provide entertainment before the 9:30 pm fireworks portion. The air show is now an event of it's own and ranks in the top 5 air shows in the nation. Thunder Over Louisville has made a lot of people happy, garnered international attention, entertained millions and given Greater Louisvillians something else to brag about.

What are the rules for boaters during Thunder Over Louisville?
Tips for safe boating at Thunder Over Louisville
- NO WAKE ZONE. A No Wake Zone is in effect from Ohio River Mile 604.3 (Portland Canal) through Mile 598.0 (Six Mile Island). This is also the area that is regulated and monitored by the Coast Guard and other public safety officials.
- There is a PICKET LINE at the Big Four Bridge. No public or commercial traffic beyond this line during the show
Be Aware of River Conditions!
- Strong river currents: High water associated with melting snow and spring rains can significantly increase river current speeds.
- Waves and congestion: An estimated 450 boaters may attend this event. After the fireworks conclude, boaters leaving the area may produce wakes and ignore navigation rules. Be patient and plan to take a little extra time to return home.
- Debris: High water can produce heavy debris and drift. It is difficult, especially at night, for boaters to see and avoid these hazards to navigation.
- Low water temperature: While the air temperature may be warm, the river water temperature can be around 40 degrees. This low a temperature can cause Hypothermia within minutes.
- Fatigue: Many boaters enjoy the event from before Noon until after the fireworks display. That much time on a boat can be tiring and lead boaters to make serious mistakes.
- Drinking: Those unlawfully drinking alcohol amplify the risks to themselves and other boaters.
Solutions and Tips:
- Pre-trip you boat: Preventative maintenance to your boat will help you avoid problems later. Properly working navigation lights and safety/distress equipment are a must.
- Wear Lifejackets: Just do it!
- Use appropriate anchors: Makeshift anchors like five-gallon buckets and cinderblocks will not hold on the river bottom.
- Observe safety rules at all times: No wake zones and navigation rules of the road exist to keep boaters safe; abide by them! Right size boat: Ensure your boat can handle the large wakes put out by other boaters.
- Safe boating courses: The Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Power Squadron have great courses for the novice and experienced boaters alike. Call CG Auxiliary at (502) 459-0287 or the Power Squadron at (502) 241-6851 for more information.
Together we can make our waterways safer. And remember: The safest place for a boater to enjoy Thunder Over Louisville is FROM THE BANK!

Review of chapter "Crisis of Limited Xander's Prologue" from
Please reboot this story at some point soon, the only problem I had with it was that you seemed to favor the bad guys.

Review of chapter "Crisis of Limited Xander's Prologue" from
Maybe I had story linkages screwed-up to begin with but...is all this the "Reboot" you wrote about in the explanatory note preceeding 20090708 item11 update of "Cobra Regenerated"? As I see the history...
"Cobra Regen" is move to now be the lead-in story to a very recently created series named = "Crisis of Limited Xanders"
..."Cobra Regen" was taken out of the "...Collision Series".
Series="Marvel & Hasbro Buffy the Vampire Slayer Collision"
"Cobra is poised to Return with demonic new warriors." which now contains only "Synergous" and "Shades of New York")
Is "...Collision Series" (last updated about a year ago) going to be continued as some sort of a side-story to "Crisis of Limited Xanders" or are you abandoning the "...CollisionSeries" and its two remaining stories (which remain incomplete)?
Comments from author:
Primus that confused even me, what happened? When I added Cobra Regenerated to Crisis of Limited Xanders was it removed from the original series? UGH.
The Collision Series is officially Abandoned in place of the Crisis Series. The Reboot of Cobra Regenerated hasn't even been started yet, it will be part of its own brand new series with a Reboot of Synergous that will be completely different from the original. Shades of New York is gone from the Reboot, there will be no Marvel Characters nor anything except G.I.Joe, Transformers and Jem and the Holograms. I hope that helps clear things up.

Great start...I really am enjoying this fic so far. Buffy and Willow with Cobra. Xander joining G.I. Joe as long as he gets the Red Ninjas to follow him. Looks like things are getting interesting. Keep up the excellent work.

Review of chapter "Gateway into the Abyss" from
Interesting. You do know that you bounce around more than a chipmunk on speed, don't you? LOL It takes a minute to keep up with everything. Rowdy Roddie Piper? Never saw that coming. Set. Now that's very interesting. Next thing you know Scarlett is going to channel Red Sonya. Who will you get to channel Thoth Ammon and Conan, I wonder? (Red Sonya has been channeled before. She briefly possessed Mary Jane Watson and helped Spiderman stop a man possessed by Thoth Ammon. Just in case you didn't know. )
Comments from author:
Well that I did not know. The Set of my AU however has precious few ties to Conan however. I'm tying him in with Cobra-La and have plans to involve him in a big way durng Season Three. (Think Mayor Snake.)
If I bounce around so much it's only because so much happens in my mind as I write. I hope it doesn't sour readers off.
I'm glad to hear from other readers though, always glad to hear. And I thank you for your review, now I'm off to get some more writing done and the planning stages for the next story arc.

Review of chapter "Lies, Truths & Misdirections" from
Did you have to pick Piper? I mean even Colt Severs would be better.
Comments from author:
I didn't pick Piper just because you know. Last years G.I.Joe convention included a figure of Rowdy Roddy Piper as a new exclusive character and part of the Iron Grenadiers. Some of my character choices are limited by the toyline as a whole, while some are used because I'm partly interested in incorporating the newer toy characters from Hasbro or Fun Publications the people behind all of the exclusive characters at every Joe convention.
It allows me to use some characters that will hopefully be fun to play with, and gives me the opportunity to expand on the Joe/Cobra roster without having to make up a ton of OCs that can be difficult to pin down.

Review of chapter "Parental Downfalls" from
I really am enjoying this fic so far. But I do have some comments on it, sorry. In chapters 3 & 4 you seem to be bashing Buffy quite a lot. At the same time you are building both Xander and Willow up, but is their anyway you could build up willow and Xander without bashing Buffy too much? You also seem to be making the slayer seem important, but continually rip Buffys character apart. And what is up with Buffy does she really not realize that there are several people posing as her dead mother or is it a side affect of the conditioning Covergirl put her though when she found her mother murdered by her father? How will this affect her realtionship with G.I. Joe? And finally how many more storylines will you be adding before this fic becomes too hard to fallow?
Comments from author:
Blink, blink
Are there too many storylines? I don't think so, because from my perspective certain scenes introducing storylines in the past five chapters are setting up for events that will take place over a longer period of time. The new mayor, the Initiative, and other such things are really just setting up for later events.
Buffy Bashing? I'm sorry, but I don't see that. I mean Buffy has been snarked at by Cordy and she's told her reflection that she hates her past now that she's woken up to the reality of her heritage. In point of fact the one bashing Buffy the most seems to be Buffy herself, her attitude towards her past and her present and all that. I suppose that could be considered Buffy Bashing, but Xander sure hasn't bashed his bestest not-girlfriend. The narrative from Dru's perspective didn't bash Buffy she bashed her choice in men because she thinks Buffy and Xander would make a better couple then Buffy/Angel.
And how did I rip Buffy's character apart? Could you perhaps cite examples or something I mean I really can't see it.
As for not realizing that people are posing as her dead mother it's part of the story, Buffy was traumatized, I haven't even written up the scene in my mind, but I liken what she saw to a plot point from a fanfic I read once crossing Faith with Daria that cartoon show I know nothing about. The story was brilliant, but anyway the premise was that Faith was a split personality of Daria's because of the horrible trauma she experienced seeing her mother murdered in front of her.
Buffy had just been called as the Slayer, and it was the night she killed her first Master Vamp that Hank brutally murdered her mother. She was already suffering from the death of her first Watcher emotionally and her entire world had been turned upside down because of the Slayer thing, so a second event like what happened completely messed her up. The Primal Slayer spirit was unleashed and she attacked her father nearly killing him, then she was sent to the psychiatric institute as was revealed in Buffy cannon. But Cover Girl managed to break through the walls she'd erected to sheild herself from that event, by pretending to be Buffy's mother. So really Buffy's completely messed up when we see her at the beginning of season one in my AU canon.
The Buffy that's been involved with everything in Sunnydale up until Halloween is only one small part of her psyche, the part that refuses to acknowledge anything is wrong with her home life and refuses to accept what she saw when her father killed her mother in cold blood. But when Buffy became Margarite O'Shaunnesy her Grandmother the second larger part of her psyche was influenced by the soul of her grandmother and that's the part we see now slowly rebuilding herself. Taking on a new identity and letting go of the 'Buffy' whose been with us up until this point. It won't be until she faces Over Kill as the big bad at the end of Season Two that everything will be fully reintegrated with her personality and her memories. Which is when she'll get suspicious as to who's been playing the part of her mother all this time.
And taking the time to explain all that might have officially ruined what I've been building up for, but then again who can say. I myself never know what's going to come out next. That may be why all these storylines keep jumping out at you left right and center, but in the long all encompassing big picture everything will make sense in the end. Especially once I get to the end. I'm sorry if this completely turns you off of this story, but I have always been one for the grand machinations and complexities of manipulations. Or at least that's what I think I've always been, I mean I've written a massive story and worked on it for 10 or so years and still have plans to get back to it eventually. Right now I'm trying to get out of the super story and write the medium stories. So yeah. Big review response on my part, but I figure helping shed some light on some things that may be confusing help.
And like I said I don't really see myself as Buffy Bashing, but who knows it could be what I'm doing. Well that's all, hope it's helped clear up a few things.

Review of chapter "The Aftermath Part 2" from
This is a pretty good story. Getting kind of ambitious, aren't you? You've got several plot lines going at once. It should be fun to watch you juggle them. I used to read both the Transformers and G.I. Joe comics. There was even a brief crossover between the two. Resulted in the destruction of Bumblebee and the birth of Goldbug. He had a bit of an attitude toward humans in general and the military in particular since they had blown him up while he was unarmed. I remember Circuit Breaker vaguely. (I was never a big fan, just a dilettante.) The inter-dimensional poker game was hilarious. (Always loved Q!) I look forward to more.
Comments from author:
You're right there must be close to several plot lines by now. Fortunately we can resolve a few of them in Season Three, like the new Mayor. Unfortunately Blackrock's resolution won't come until Season Seven. Them's the breaks.
I'm glad you're liking this, the next few chapters might start getting back on track with Buffy Season Two I can't say 100% though since I do write this up on the fly chapter by chapter and who knows what'll happen. I do know Angelus is going to be livid when he finds out Harris dusted Spike and somehow converted Dru into a teenager.
Juggling more then one plot line at a time is a favored pastime of mine, although I'm not sure if I've ever received any bad words because of it. We'll just have to wait and see what other readers feel, considering the last two chapters have only had one review each so far makes it a tad difficult to know how the readers are taking the story.
There were other Transformers/G.I.Joe crosses as time went on, but sadly at the moment nobody on Earth even remembers them due to Blackrock's powerful memory spell.
I'm glad you like the inter-dimensional poker game, seeing as how I introduced it in the last chapter I felt it would make for a better idea to end the chapter rather then have it end with the villains of the piece again. Janus certainly seems to be a manipulative son of a BBBB. LOL Where are all the Transformers you ask? Or perhaps the readers ask in general. That will be explained shortly in the narrative of the second part of the series. Which I started working on this past weekend, I couldn't help myself, my muse gave me the idea for part two and so I'll be posting it up by this weekend if I get enough of it finished in time.
Since Buffy, Willow & Xander have more then enough on their plates to deal with now the destiny of one of the other Scoobies will become inexorably linked with our friends from Cybertron. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use this particular Scooby since the main canon of the show is going to be thrown completely out the Window. The Slayers job will eventually be taken over by the supporting cast while she's off dealing with family issues and the like. And after Blackrock makes his play there won't be very many demons or vampires around for the Slayer to be needed.
Oh dear I'm saying way too much, but I love talking shop. Anyway keep your optic sensors peeled for Part Two of the series, temporarily titled Synergy for now though I'm hoping to change that for something more. Impressive. And now if you'll excuse me I really ought to get back to writing up chapter one of part two.

Review of chapter "The Aftermath Part 1" from
Hum B&W Cobra.
Looks like things are getting interesting.
BTW: You can add or make any story you've published as part of a series. Its an option when you add a story that you can link it to an earlier story and make both of them series.
Comments from author:
Thanks for the info now I know and knowing is half the battle. LOL
Also thanks for the review, apparently not many are feeling compelled to comment on the latest chapter. Oh well maybe once I can be inspired enough to finish off Chapter four I'll get more then one new review for the latest chapter. Heh.
And yes, things are indeed becoming interesting. By the way, what exactly do you mean by B&W Cobra? I'm unfortunately not getting the reference. Is chuckling politely.

Review of chapter "Nighttime Activities" from
I was a fan of G.I. Joe when I was younger. Prefered the comic to the series. I mean, come on, these guys were elite soldiers, the best of the best, who could bullseye a target at incredible distances but could never hit a living target. I know, I know; it was a kids show and they had to keep the violence at a minimum, but it still insulted the intelligence of some of us. This is sounding good and I will be tracking it. Will StormShadow help train Xander? He and Snake Eyes were my two favorite characters. Later.

People voted the bully PC governments in and then complain because they are bullied. You supported them and rallied to get them in so don't whine to everyone who warned you that your Pensions are gone, Electricity goes through the roof etc. That whole baby boomer generation has screwed us from the start so no sense in stopping now.

When this (lower cost of two very limited options) project is rubber stamped by PUB and authorized by governnent, newfoundlanders can say goodbye isolated grid, hello connected grid, hello the highest electricity rates in Canada and hello the highest per capita debt in Canada once again. It will represent the second largest giveaway to a neighbouring province since the Upper Churchill deal and unfortunately will likely bring about another future set of embarrising court challenges when we feel shortchanged once again. Its our history, its our heritage after all!
- All indications
- March 05, 2012 - 04:44
All indications are that it's a done deal no matter what. They've even said it's going through with or without the loan from Harper. It came out at the PUB hearings that 12 to 13 Million dollars Per Month are currently being spent on it. Cost doesn't matter now but when they get halfway through the building phase and run out of money; that is when electricity bills for households and industry will skyrocket, family incomes will be drastically reduced and more will be added to provincial/national debt. We don't need Canada to keep us down. We do a great job of that on our own. Where's the benefit for NfLders in a couple of hundred temporary construction jobs and debt for the next 50 years? Haven't we already been there? Can't we try something else? Like how about becoming a Have people to match our Have government? Hundreds of kilometers of forest cannot be flooded without killing and/or contaminating every living thing within its range. What about the people who live on the coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland? What about the people who work in the fishery? Where would NS, NB, PEI, BC, and the states be without their fisheries? What's so different about us? We are willing to pay more for our own resource while NS gets it cheap or free. Is Muskrat green energy under America's laws or does it matter since it isn't produced in their country? If my power bill is $400 now, what will it be in 2017? Using taxpayers' money to develop the most expensive energy is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Let the market function on economics and the energy sector distribute to consumers at lower cost. I agree with Maurice E. Adams 100%.

Our children will pay more down the road because the cost of electricity will go up. I would much rather them know what there going to pay then wait and see what a price of oil will be when there is less and less oil in the future! its clean it gives us a link to sell of the island get on with it!!

"Will I pay more for power when Muskrat Falls is built?" +++++ What Nalcor has done is offered up "the worm". The "hook" is for our children and grandchildren. ++++++++ Muskrat Falls costs have effectively been HIDDEN by the way Nalcor has changed the 'pricing' for us IN THE EARLY YEARS. ++++++++ We get low enough pricing in the early years, but our children and grandchildren pay about 20 times more in the future for their Muskrat Falls power than if we paid our true costs in the early years. ++++++ It is like as if you kept your mortgage payments on your house as low as possible in early years (so you can have that bigger house, and low payments), but to do so you have to extend the time out to 50 years instead of 30 years, and you have to get your children and grandchildren to co-sign and pay large payments long after you are dead. +++++ That helps explain why Dunderdale puts so much emphasis on the "loan guarantee". ++++++ How many ratepayers would support Muskrat Falls if they knew that they would be causing their children and grandchildren to pay 20 times more for that power than they should IF we paid our fair share NOW --- that is, if we paid for it like we did a mortgage? ----- And we don't even need the power. +++++ But this is a "take or pay" contract --- even if it turns out that we don't (and out children don't) need the power ---- WE AND OUR CHILDREN STILL PAY. If Nalcor is SO CERTAIN that we need the power ------ WHY DO THEY NEED (MUST HAVE) A "take or pay", iron clad ---- CONTRACT?
