Who wants a mustache ride??
So much summed up so simply and with such style.
Oh I get it! It's a handlebar mustache! I don't understand the "mua ha ha ha ha" part though. Some movie joke no doubt.
woot be hatin' on ray william johnson
I can't tell if the writeup is vehemently anti-hipster, or just ironically bashing the subculture in some sort of double-hipster meta game.
He has no arms, so I guess he must have a henchman that puts in the wax for him.
Is the bad guy riding the bike wearing an invisibility cloak?
Congrats, Brett! I'm glad this one made it to print.
This kind of makes me sad that I can't grow a neat handlebar mustache. I'll never be able to stroke it while laughing and smiling in a menacing way. And while rubbing my hands together. *sigh* =[
I have a mustache like this and I am deeply offend.
When waxing the mustache, be careful not to get any on the seat.

Yeah, that was pretty much my interpretation of the shirt. Sadly, I'm not sure the artist had the same vision.
I really wanted this shirt, but after reading the write-up, I feel like I should feel bad for wanting it. What happened?!
bluesluke wrote:I have a mustache like this and I am deeply offend.
Why, aren't you evil?
Just as Batman has his Batmobile, this is certainly the themed vehicle-of-choice of Snidely Whiplash.
Penny-farthing is not a crime.
Woot wrote:So it's a mustache, a handlebar mustache serving as handlebars to a bike, an old-timey high wheeler bike, with a corny menacing laugh like something out of a grainy, black and white movie where someone's getting tied to train tracks. Uh, what?
will match my belt
Well, I have heard of a mustache ride. But, this is not quite what was described to me. Have I been lied to?
Where's the requisit monocle? Don't handle bar mustaches and monocles go hand in hand?
Oh! Is this what they mean when they ask if I want a mustache ride? It all makes sense now!
the write-up is the best part about this shirt.
bahahahahaaa! silly
I can ride my bike with no handle bars no handle bars. First thing that came to my mind, the handle bar song.
Wow... I haven't been following the derbies, but if this made it to the top four, I can't hold out much hope for the rest. Seriously? Seriously?
I've never really understood the connection between moustaches and villains.
*snerk* Though I'm kind of horrified by the blatant anti-hipster-ness of this writeup, I found it immensely amusing at the same time.
This + this = this

Well, good thing this wasn't a derby entry then, eh? And only the top three winners print anyway.

Methinks the writer just doesn't like this shirt.

Rollie FIngers didn't think so
In Russia moustache rides you.
I wonder what the sports bike model would look like.
Congrats SEEEEDDDD!!! love, Chump
1: this is a daily, not a derby print. 2: This is much better than what derbies usually print. Woot hasn't printed something this simple and funny in ages.
Someone call Dudley Do Right!

Note: This piece ran originally on Joyce Bassett's "New York Serenade" blog and she was nice enough to let us reprint it here.
I said goodbye to my good friend and Springsteen concert buddy this week. Jean Marie, you lived an incredible 49 years.
Here are just a few words from her obituary:
Originally diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2009, she was faced with a prognosis of having four months to live when cancer spread to her brain in October 2010. The prognosis only reinforced her stubborn determination to live life to its fullest and fill her days with sunshine and chocolate. She traveled as extensively and as often as her treatment allowed, including trips to Hawaii, St. Maarten and a wonderful trip to Lourdes as guests of the Knights of Malta. She saw a Bruce Springsteen concert whenever possible and Springsteen�s �No Surrender� and �Waiting on a Sunny Day� were just a few of the themes she preached on her amazing Caring Bridge website, called Focus on the Positive. The site name was from an inspiring quote from the late Benjamin Stowell, a Blue Creek student who �taught her how to cope� with cancer.

Reds' offense faces stern test in Villanueva
Leake goes for Cincy, looking for more production from lineup
The Reds have scored 17 runs over their past nine games, and on Friday afternoon, they'll face the pitcher who started their low-scoring streak: Cubs right-hander Carlos Villanueva.
Cincinnati's slumping offense heads to Chicago to face Villanueva and the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Villanueva held the Reds to two runs on three hits and two walks over 8 1/3 innings on April 23, and he only needed 99 pitches to get through that outing.
"He was throwing a bunch of stuff. That's how he pitches," Reds manager Dusty Baker said after that game. "He kept you off-balance. Those guys generally give you more trouble earlier in the season before you get your timing. You can't take anything from him, but we'll see a little bit later."
Indeed, Cincinnati will get another crack at Villanueva on Friday, but the Reds' lineup has been inconsistent, at best, since beating the Cubs, 5-4, on April 22.
That was especially true during the Reds' road trip through Washington and St. Louis, where they hit a combined .187 (41-for-219) and scored only 14 runs. That stretch included a brutal 2-for-56 skid with only one run scored during Cincinnati's first two games in Washington.
Villanueva is off to a hot start to 2013, though he suffered his first loss and allowed four runs in his last start. But he took a one-hitter into the sixth inning, retired 14 of the first 15 batters he faced and didn't give up more than two runs in any of his first four starts.
The Reds won the series last week, 2-1, but all the games were close, and two went to extra innings. Plus, the Cubs are settled in at Wrigley Field now, as this series continues a long, 10-game homestand.
"We know we're at home for quite a while and have to take advantage of being at home," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "We have to separate ourselves and get back to the .500 mark and move on from there. This is the time to do it."
With that in mind, the Reds could use a solid start from right-hander Mike Leake. He's coming off his worst start of the season against the Nationals on Friday, when he lasted only three innings and gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks.
"Once I got ahead, they were kind of making me throw the pitch they wanted, so I wasn't able to put them away or I was getting behind," Leake said Friday. "It was a combination of both: They had a good plan, and I wasn't attacking them completely."
But Leake put together two strong performances before that, a pair of seven-inning outings against the Phillies and Cubs. He held the Cubs to two runs on eight hits and two walks on April 22. With rookie Tony Cingrani impressing thus far, and ace Johnny Cueto expected to return from the disabled list in a week or two, Friday wouldn't be a bad time for Leake to recapture that form.
Reds: Cueto ready for rehab assignment
• Assuming he passes a medical checkup in Cincinnati, Cueto will begin his Minor League rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Pensacola, then start for Class A Dayton next Wednesday. Cueto was placed on the disabled list on April 15 and is expected to make only two rehab appearances, although there's a chance he could throw more.
"He'll be happy wherever he's going," Baker said. "He's champing at the bit. He looked pretty good [in his bullpen session]. He didn't have any soreness afterwards."
• Right fielder Jay Bruce went 2-for-4 with a triple Wednesday, a possible sign that he's ready to break out of his recent slump. Bruce entered Wednesday hitting just 6-for-27 in the first seven games of the Reds' road trip.
Cubs: Garza ready for second rehab start
• Right-hander Matt Garza (strained left lat) said Thursday that everything went well in his first Minor League rehab start and repeated that he's ready for his second outing. Garza threw 2 2/3 innings Wednesday for Double-A Tennessee, allowing a run on a hit and two walks with no strikeouts.
Garza hasn't pitched in the Majors since July 21. He was shut down last season due to right elbow problems. The Cubs have said they want Garza to make at least three Minor League rehab starts, but he wouldn't give a timetable for his return.
"I can't predict when [he'll be back], I'm just going to say I'm looking forward to five days from yesterday," Garza said. "When we get to No. 3 -- and it might even be No. 4 -- when we get to No. 3, we'll make a decision. Right now, I'm looking forward to No. 2."
Worth noting
• While the Reds struggled to hit on the road, their pitchers put up a collective 3.41 ERA (22 earned runs in 58 innings) on the seven-game road swing, including a 2.38 mark (nine earned runs in 34 innings) over their past four games.
• Cubs third basemen have hit seven homers in 28 games, the most in the Majors and more than half of the 12 they hit last year. Luis Valbuena has accounted for five of those home runs, and Cody Ransom hit the other two.

White Wedding
A White Wedding—Creating the Most Important Smile of Your Life
Summer is a popular time to get married. As a bride, groom, member of the wedding party, or even a guest, it's important to make sure that your teeth look great.
The easiest way to get your teeth "wedding-ready" is to have a professional whitening treatment. Teeth whitening is the No. 1 most-requested cosmetic dental service, and wedding parties are among the main groups to take advantage of this quick and easy teeth brightening procedure.
Many AACD Member dentists offer both in-office and take-home whitening treatments. Both are great ways to make sure you'll have a dazzling smile for your big day.
The advantage of seeing an AACD Member dentist for teeth whitening—as opposed to an over-the-counter solution—is that the dentist can help choose the right shade for your smile.
"Tooth colors need to be in harmony with the skin tone and whites of the eyes," says Dr. Frank Milnar, an AACD Accredited cosmetic dentist from Minnesota. "Hollywood white smiles can be distracting because you tend to look only at a person's teeth and not at their whole face."
Milnar notes a natural smile is actually "polychromatic" or a nuanced combination of colors, something a professional dentist can help patients determine. Over-whitening can cause teeth to become more monochromatic and opaque.
Professional tooth whitening in a dental office is the preferred whitening method because even though stronger agents are applied, the rest of the mouth, including the gums, is protected from these materials. The best whitening systems feature a buffer in the bleaching gel that protects the tooth enamel from damage, are extremely effective, and can transform teeth in a single office visit.
Teeth can literally brighten up to 10 shades in about an hour.
In-office whitening affects only the front eight teeth—known as the smile zone—and is a great jump start for take-home whitening, which is always part of an effective whitening program.
An AACD Member dentist is best qualified to handle any issues that may arise from whitening treatments, such as tooth sensitivity. Today, most tooth sensitivity cases are easily managed.
Tooth whitening can last for one or more years, depending on how well you take care of your teeth, and if you're following up regularly with a home whitening product for regular maintenance. Which means brighter, whiter teeth not only for your wedding—but for the honeymoon and beyond!

Bangkok Bound: All I could eat and then some…part 1
We are back and what a trip that was! I am still on a wonderful Thai-high and I just don't want to come down :) Bangkok was an amazing adventure in so many ways and at so many levels…it certainly did not disappoint all my whimsical imaginings.
Bangkok is a frenetic dance of old world and new; endlessly swirling in vibrant color, so you never know where one ends and the other begins. It is a monk's silent gaze and a teenager's flippant swish of her micro-mini-skirt. It is awe-inspiring temples to Buddha and mind-boggling temples to commerce. It is bustling markets filled with all manners of goods and shiny new malls that taunt you with high-end designers. It is a riot you can lose yourself in…it is a riot you want to lose yourself in.
Of course, weaving in and around everything, there is the food. Immensely important and central to life in Thailand…and rightfully so. Its flavors are intense, crisp, clean, bright. Thai food is like a symphony with each note having its own distinct character, clear as a bell, that immediately draws your attention, but still has the ability to blend perfectly with all the other flavor notes. And let's face it; more than anything else, I was in Bangkok to taste that symphony for myself.
I love Thai food, and although we have some pretty good Thai places here, I had listened to friends go on about how "nothing compares to Thai food in Thailand" one too many times. It was finally my turn! I could feel the kaffir lime and chilies even before our plane touched down. Like before, I'm dividing my trip into highlights for easy digestion :)
The gastronomic highlights on our trip (part 1):
Chote Chitr
This was a recommendation from Robyn of Eating Asia, who graciously shared with me a wealth of tips for Bangkok eating. Unfortunately, I didn't get to them all (more for next time!), but I did get to this…and were we ever glad we did! Chote Chitr is a tiny five-table gem of a place tucked away down an unassuming lane off Tanao road. It's a short cab ride from the Grand Palace so we hopped over for lunch in between wats (temples). The chalkboard menu outside was all in Thai, which only made me more excited. We placed ourselves in the capable hands of the very charming proprietress, only asking for the mee krob (crispy noodles with a sweet-sour-salty sauce). The rest we left up to her. Aside from the mee krob, we ended up with a steaming bowl of tôm yam (spicy and sour soup), hor mok (fish in red curry steamed in banana leaves), and steamed rice. This was one of my best meals in Bangkok...one of my best experiences in Bangkok. Everything from hunting the place down, to its cozy feel, the afternoon breeze that wafted in throughout the meal, the complete absence of foreigners (except for us), the helpful proprietress, her unbelievably fluffy dog, the tôm yam that was the best I had ever tasted (she used heart of palm instead of the usual mushrooms – for its sweetness she said), the mee krob that was excellent in every sweet-sour-spicy-crunchy bite, my first taste of hor mok (with its delicate pieces of fish cradled gently in a bed of softly set red curry which hid a mound of fragrant Thai basil leaves all ensconced in a banana leaf cup), to the satisfied lethargy that enveloped me after this perfect meal. Chote Chitr – 146 Phraeng Phutorn, Tanao road.
Kor Panich
After our meal in Chote Chitr, I wanted to try another of Robyn's recommendations – the sticky rice at Kor Panich, which is said to be the best. The kind lady over at Chote Chitr gamely offered to walk us there (it was just out of the lane and across the main street). Apparently, it's been around for quite some time and with good reason…the sticky rice is really all that delicious! A big covered metal bowl contains the rice which the girls behind the counter open to stir once you've placed your order. You buy the mangoes from another lady that is sitting right outside the shop. We got our order to go since we were still full from our lunch and had one more wat to see. They pack it all up for you, peeling and slicing the mango and including a plastic pouch of coconut milk and another of the crunchy topping, as well as some plastic utensils. I had this scrumptious dessert sitting on a bench at Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn…more on this later), in the shade of one of its chedis (large bell shaped tower). Bliss. Kor Panich – 431-33 Tanao road.
Street Food and Market Stall Hawkers
I was soon to find out that, just as it is hard to take a bad photo in Boracay, or have a bad coffee in Spain, it is hard to have a bad meal in Bangkok (oh, I'm sure there are whammies hiding there somewhere, but I thankfully didn't bump into them). This is probably because there is such deliciousness to be found on every sidewalk corner and down every tiny soi (lane). Bangkok's streets are literally lined in gastronomic gold. Being a big fan of, not only Thai food, but street food in general (we have our own gems too…more on that someday!), I was determined to sample all this city had to offer. Let me tell you, I could have eaten double what I did and I would still feel that it wasn't enough. I had sweet coconut water still in its husk, vendors hacking at it to crack the shell and insert my straw, then scraping out all the tender meat for me to eat with my fingers. I had deep fried sweet things at Chatuchak Market that look too tempting to even ask what they were (banana fritters I think I was told…but I would have tried it no matter what it was). Outdoor hawkers at the Suan Lum Night Bazaar served a dizzying array of dishes…each one looking better than the next (not that I was in any way daunted oh no not me), the perfect re-charge after a night of shopping. C had grilled chicken and I had som tam, a spicy green papaya salad that I am now seriously, irrevocably addicted to, and we shared a plate of phad thai (stir-fried noodles). We had grilled chicken and pork on sticks in between the ruins of Ayutthaya (more on that later)…the hunger-inducing smell reeling us in. Hot of the grill, they were incredibly juicy and soft and so tasty. We ate them standing in the grill-smoke, oil and juices dripping down our chins. At one such stall the meat suspiciously did not taste like chicken (although they told me it was)…did I care? Not me! It tasted even better than chicken! Bring it on I say!
I have divided my Bangkok eating highlights into two posts to avoid getting long-winded (although I fear it is much too late for that). I meant to have it all in one post before I realized exactly how much I could just go ON and ON about this cuisine that obviously has me on a leash. I'll be posting about the sights and such too…temples, shopping, Thai massage and more! Stay tuned! :)

Arrggghhh!!! You're only halfway through the food posts and already I'm hungry and dying to go back! Imagine, you were only there for 4 days, yet I didn't get to try most of the food you've written about here. (I want that Hor Mok! And more Mee Krob!) What a wealth of deliciousness they truly have.

Na 'homesick' naman ako sa post mo, joey! I was there several weeks ago and I want to pack my suitcase again and just fly to BKK!

- Nabeela said...
wow....that sounds like an amazing gastronomic experience!! Me wanna go too!
- Midge said...
Hi, Joey; welcome back! I was drooling with envy when I read your Bangkok post; every sight sounded gorgeous and the food must have been fab! Your line about the grilled and skewered pork and chicken near the Ayutthaya ruins reminded me of the Thailand chapter of Ruth Reichl's Comfort Me with Apples: so tempting!
- maybahay said...
good to hear you had a wonderful trip.
like you, i've been to lots of places but hardly know south east asia. your post just made me want to fly to bangkok right now. looking forward to the next installment. - 9:04 AM
- Franco said...
Sounds like you had an amazing time, Joey. Personally, I can't wait to go back.
- mtan said...
I heart som tam too. I've had it in Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket, Khon Kaen, some tiny town in Isan near Vietnam, and Bkk and some other further town south of the city, and I love all variations (they even have them with tiny oysters).
Looking forward to seeing all those fantastic food photos. - 10:24 AM

Hi Katrina! Truly, truly delicious! There were still things I felt I missed out on so I definitely want/need to return! I am still craving Thai food until now! Meanwhile, let's go to Benjarong (in Dusit hotel) one of these days...it's pretty good and they "imported" a Thai chef :)
Hi Thess! Yes, please post about it! I'd love to read about your adventures there :)
Hi Nabeela! It truly was amazing! And one of the best parts is that, since the street food is so good, it doesn't have to come at such a high price tag :)
Hi Midge! Thanks! :) The food was indeed "all that"! I have to read "Comfort me with Apples" now...I read "Tender at the Bone" but haven't gotten to Apples yet :)
Hi Maybahay! I hear ya! It may be pretty late in life for me to be totally smitten with my home continent but hey, better late than never right? ;) I'm hoping to make up for it!
Hi Franco! Me too! I really want to go back now :) Sigh...until then I am off to Fully Booked to get a good Thai cookbook and I'm going to do my best to replicate everything I had (and also those I didn't get the chance to try!) :)
Hi M! Wow! The som tam with the tiny oysters sounds amazing! I am determined to try and make some som tam here...we have green papaya too (atsara!)! I dream of visiting as much of Asia as you have :) - 11:03 AM
- canDIshhh said...
Welcome back Joey!! Reading through your post I felt like you did more than I did! :) Hahaha.. I was so bitin! I really want to go back again!! Can't wait for your next post na!
- Anh said...
Bangkok!! The last time I was there was a few years back. I was a crazy teenager back then, travelling alone and all! =)
Yes, Benjarong! I've been hearing about it for many years. Everyone raves about it, but for some reason I never got around to going. We MUST rectify the situation soon! Sigh...the list of restos to try just keeps getting longer...
- katiez said...
I have a friend who trys to get to Thailand, India, Indonesia at least twice a year. After reading your post I'm even more jealous!
Look forward to reading about the rest... - 10:37 PM
- dhanggit said...
Thailand is one of my best trip in Asia...just like you I like combining travelling and food..when i went there for the first time I was still a student then so my bf and I feasted mainly on streetfoods...they were cheap, delicious and very very hot...
- veron said...
oh my all that food, and I'm hungry already even after eating lunch! Can't wait to see part 2.
- Em Dy said...
Nakakainggit. I want to go there again. First and last time was 2005 and I ate mostly McDo and KFC then apart from the hotel buffet and Thai buffet aboard the Chao Phraya cruise from Ayutthaya.
- Jen Tan said...
Wow..your trip and Didi's trip really makes me wana go visit Bangkok---SOOON!!!! and part 1 plang ah. Thanks for shring joey..will be waiting for part 2!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Candishhh! Trust me...there was much more I wanted to do (and eat!)! I want to go back too :)
Hi Anh! Crazy teenage travel is sometimes the best of all! :) I can imagine it was a lot of fun :)
Hi Katrina! It's really good! When we went we just let the Thai lady who heads the waitstaff order for us! And everything she brought out was delicious :)
Hi Katiez! Wow! You have got one lucky friend :)
Hi Dhanggit! Bangkok is great for a budget because some of the best food is on the streets :) Very hot yes definitely!
Hi Veron! We ate much more than our fair share I think, heehee :)
Hi Em Dy! If you eat the street food it'll probably come out even cheaper than Mcdo and Kentucky! For your next trip ;)
Hi Jen! Go, go, go! :) You will love it I am so sure! :) - 2:18 PM
- christine said...
You captures the essence of Bangkok perfectly! The fusion of old world and new, and the food. Sigh the food! Your post had me drooling for all of it. I'm so glad you finally went! :)
- christine said...
"You captures the essence" ? Bwahahaha!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Murph! Hahaha! You are too funny :) I'm so glad I finally went too! Hope to have 2nd post up soon...HUG!
- MikeMina said...
Bangkok will forever be on top of my favourite Asian cities list . . . I will never forget my motorbiking days in Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son (near the Myanmar border) . . . and enjoying food in morning markets (after a night out! hehehe!) with Thai friends . . . the best som tams can be found in the provinces - homemade!
Gee! This post reminds me of my own that is forever in draft mode. I look forward to spending new year celebs there! - 8:13 AM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Mike! "...motorbiking days in Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son..."??? Whoa! Sounds fantastic! :) And wonderful homemade som tam in the provinces...lucky you! :) Have fun on your New Year celebrations and looking forward to that post!

It seems that many people do not know what 'Terrorism' means. This one isn't too bad at all.
The use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
Before we identify a terrorist or a terrorist organization, let's consider the following countries. Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Grenada, Cuba, El Salvador, Honduras, Philippines, Haiti, Nicaragua, Libya, Sudan, Mexico, Serbia etc etc.
If we were to include the part of 'coercing', then let's add a few more to the list. Brazil, Chile, Indonesia, East Timor, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Dominican Republic, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Diego Garcia, South Africa, etc etc.
Now then. Can you tell me which terrorist organization attacked all these countries, directly or indirectly?

LTE-Advanced Test & Design
Learn more about additional LTE resources from Keysight including the LTE and the Evolution to 4G Wireless book
4G LTE-Advanced refers to the evolved version of LTE that is being developed by 3GPP to meet or exceed the requirements of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for a true fourth generation radio-communication standard known as IMT-Advanced. LTE-Advanced, of the 3GPP standard, is defined in Release 10 and all the follow on releases including Release 12. LTE-Advanced is focused on higher capacity with increased peak data rate of 1 Gbps for the downlink and 500 Mbps for the uplink, higher spectral efficiency, increased number of simultaneously active subscribers, and improved performance at cell edges, e.g. for DL 2x2 MIMO at least 2.40 bps/Hz/cell.
The main new functionalities of Release 10 for LTE-Advanced are Carrier Aggregation (CA), enhanced use of multi-antenna techniques, enhanced uplink, and support for Relay Nodes (RN).
Keysight not only addresses basic and test challenges, but also outlines the technology, describes deployment and standard milestones, and offers resources for those requiring more in-depth LTE technology information. We offer greater insight into LTE designs by providing greater insight into complex LTE technology, evolving LTE standards and how to test to them, and deeper insight into the root causes of design problems. Keysight continues to play a pivotal role in the development, revision and implementation of 3GPP and the new 4G LTE technology, as well as, continues to be the recognized leader for its contribution to the future of wireless access.

Looking for a laptop for homeschool use and this Dell was the right price and the right size. Very pleased with the speed and condition.
This is the 2nd Dell laptop that I bought from Overstock. The quality is good and the customer service is also excellent.
This product is exactly what i needed specifications and apps and programs good as is
This computer was looking good, nice and clean. Image was correct, battery was long lasting but the problem is keyboard become extremely hot. If you plan to work for long period of time you barely can keep your hand on the keyboard. May be cooling fan is not working.
I ordered this laptop for a specific need and didn't have much of a choice. The touch pad is awful but performance and quality elsewhere is fine. If your looking for a good personal laptop, I wouldn't waste the money on this one. if your company requires this model, overstock.com is the best deal.

Chevrolet Volt Concept Electric Vehicle
January 7, 2007 The Chevrolet Volt concept sedan, powered by the E-flex System – GM's next-generation electric propulsion system – could nearly eliminate trips to the gas station. The Chevrolet Volt is a battery-powered, four-passenger electric vehicle that uses a gas engine to create additional electricity to extend its range. The Volt draws from GM's previous experience in the form of the EV1 in 1996. The Volt can be fully charged by plugging it into a 110-volt outlet for approximately six hours a day. When the lithium-ion battery is fully charged, the Volt can deliver 40 city miles of pure electric vehicle range. When the battery is depleted, a 1.0 litre, three-cylinder turbocharged engine spins at constant rpm to create electricity and replenish the battery.

43: Red Spiders 2
Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
Red Spiders 2 |
Title text: This was actually drawn years before Red Spiders |
[edit] Explanation
This is the second-published comic in the red spiders story arc, published just over 2 months after the first one. Like its predecessor, it is more of a sketch than a comic. The titular spiders appear to be ascending —or possibly building— a structure.
According to the title text, it was drawn years before the previous Red Spiders.
The full series of Red spiders:
- 8: Red spiders: the first one.
- 43: Red Spiders 2: this one.
- 47: Counter-Red Spiders: in which we see the beginnings of a counter-offensive against the attack.
- 126: Red Spiders Cometh: in which we see the red spiders attacking a city.
- 427: Bad Timing: in which the red spiders pounce on an unfortunate couple having a conversation about their relationship mid-hot air balloon ride, in a more typical xkcd style.
[edit] Transcript
- [Red spiders, with round appendages at the end of each of their six legs, are seen navigating an environment of blocks and other geometric constructions. One spider appears to be holding a block down for another spider to climb onto to help it up, or they might be lifting the block together.]
[edit] Trivia
- Randall has been quoted as saying "And lo, they still have six legs", and that "This is the original that inspired the other one. It's my favorite of the two."
- This is the fortieth comic originally posted to livejournal. The previous was 38: Apple Jacks. The next was 39: Bowl.

if you wanted your chop on the shirt, (again for whatever reason) you should have incorperated it better and for gods sake the color should blend genius.

The countries that end in "istan" are not Communist. Some countries were part of the former Soviet Union now have names with "istan" at the end, but that is to show that they are now free to express themselves and their religion, not because of their politics.

Leaky sewer pond to be abandoned
The sewer pond that leaked thousands of gallons of effluent into Wolf Creek this summer will be abandoned.
Chief operator Jim Hamblin reported this to directors of the Indian Valley Community Services District Wednesday, Oct. 13.
The first tests of Wolf Creek showed higher fecal contamination levels below the ponds than above, and additional tests are being made throughout the surrounding area near the sewer ponds.
Four different samplings over time are being taken, with the last tests due in early November.
State water quality control agents toured the Greenville sewer ponds in September, including the area where a passerby detected the leak in July.
In their report, they asked for the pond not to be used again, so Hamblin has created a plan to bypass that pond completely.
A nearby resident wondered if rainwater would carry even more contamination through the leak into the creek.
Hamblin didn't think it would be much, if so, though he did acknowledge the possibility.
As reported previously, health concerns were allayed somewhat when Indian Valley Medical Clinic manager John Evans said there had been no spike or significant change in the number of episodes of stomach disorders this summer.
Exposure to fecal contaminated water could cause a number of illnesses, according to nurse Amanda Higgins of the Plumas County health Agency, some serious, and most of which include digestive upsets, like diarrhea, nausea, cramps and vomiting.
Another update will be published after the testing information is released to the public.

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Sometimes an event will announce that it is ``redundant''. When this happens, no change to the logical world has occurred. This happens when the logical name being defined is already defined and has exactly the same definition, from the logical point of view. This feature permits two independent books, each of which defines some name, to be included sequentially provided they use exactly the same definition.
When are two logical-name definitions considered exactly the same? It depends upon the kind of name being defined.
A deflabel
event is never redundant. This means that if you have a
in a book and that book has been included (without error),
then references to that label denote the point in history at which
the book introduced the label. See the note about shifting logical
names, below.
A defun
or mutual-recursion
(or defuns
) event is redundant
if for each function to be introduced, there has already been introduced a
function with the same name, the same formals, and syntactically identical
, :measure
, type declarations, stobj
declarations and body
(before macroexpansion), and an appropriate
(see the discussion of ``appropriate mode
s'' below).
Exceptions: (1) If either definition is declared :non-executable
(see xargs), then the two events must be identical. (2) It is permissible
for one definition to have a :
guard of t
and the other to have
no explicit guard (hence, the guard is implicitly t
). (3) The
check is avoided if we are skipping proofs (for example, during
), and otherwise, the new definition may have a
of (:? v1 ... vk)
, where (v1 ... vk)
enumerates the
variables occurring in the measure stored for the old definition.
A verify-guards
event is redundant if the function has already had
its guards verified.
A defaxiom
or defthm
event is redundant if there is already an axiom
or theorem of the given name and both the formula (after
macroexpansion) and the rule-classes are syntactically identical.
Note that a defaxiom
can make a subsequent defthm
redundant, and a
can make a subsequent defaxiom
redundant as well.
A defconst
is redundant if the name is already defined either with a
syntactically identical defconst
event or one that defines it to have the
same value.
A defstobj
is redundant if there is already a defstobj
event with
the same name that has exactly the same field descriptors (see defstobj), in
the same order, and with the same :renaming
value if :renaming
supplied for either event.
A defmacro
is redundant if there is already a macro defined with the
same name and syntactically identical arguments, guard, and body.
A defpkg
is redundant if a package of the same name with exactly the
same imports has been defined.
A deftheory
is never redundant. The ``natural'' notion of
equivalent deftheory
forms is that the names and values of the two
theory expressions are the same. But since most theory expressions are
sensitive to the context in which they occur, it seems unlikely to
us that two deftheory
s coming from two sequentially included books
will ever have the same values. So we prohibit redundant theory
definitions. If you try to define the same theory name twice, you
will get a ``name in use'' error.
An in-theory
event is never redundant because it doesn't define any
A push-untouchable
event is redundant if every name supplied is
already a member of the corresponding list of untouchable symbols.
A remove-untouchable
event is redundant if no name supplied is
a member of the corresponding list of untouchable symbols.
A reset-prehistory
event is redundant if it does not cause any change.
A set-body
event is redundant if the indicated body is already the
current body.
and defdoc
events are never redundant because they don't
define any name.
An encapsulate
event is redundant if and only if a syntactically
identical encapsulate
has already been executed under the same
An include-book
is redundant if the book has already been included.
Note About Appropriate Modes:
Suppose a function is being redefined and that the formals, guards, types,
stobjs, and bodies are identical. When are the modes (:
or :
) ``appropriate?'' Identical modes are appropriate.
But what if the old mode was :program
and the new mode is :logic
This is appropriate, provided the definition meets the requirements of the
logical definitional principle. That is, you may redefine ``redundantly''
a :program
mode function as a :logic
mode function provide the
measure conjectures can be proved. This is what verify-termination
does. Now consider the reverse style of redefinition. Suppose the
function was defined in :logic
mode and is being identically redefined
in :program
mode. This is inappropriate. We do not permit the
downgrading of a function from :logic
mode to :program
mode, since
that might produce a logical world in which there were theorems about a
mode function, violating one of ACL2's basic assumptions.
Note About Shifting Logical Names:
Suppose a book defines a function fn
and later uses fn
as a logical
name in a theory expression. Consider the value of that theory
expression in two different sessions. In session A, the book is
included in a world in which fn
is not already defined, i.e., in a
world in which the book's definition of fn
is not redundant. In
session B, the book is included in a world in which fn
is already
identically defined. In session B, the book's definition of fn
redundant. When fn
is used as a logical name in a theory
expression, it denotes the point in history at which fn
introduced. Observe that those points are different in the two
sessions. Hence, it is likely that theory expressions involving fn
will have different values in session A than in session B.
This may adversely affect the user of your book. For example,
suppose your book creates a theory via deftheory
that is advertised
just to contain the names generated by the book. But suppose you
compute the theory as the very last event in the book using:
(set-difference-theories (universal-theory :here) (universal-theory fn))where
is the very first event in the book and happens to be a
event. This expression returns the advertised set if fn
not already defined when the book is included. But if fn
previously (identically) defined, the theory is larger than
The moral of this is simple: when building books that other people
will use, it is best to describe your theories in terms of logical
names that will not shift around when the books are included. The
best such names are those created by deflabel
Note About Unfortunate Redundancies:
Notice that our syntactic criterion for redundancy of defun
does not allow redefinition to take effect unless there is a syntactic change
in the definition. The following example shows how an attempt to redefine a
function can fail to make any change.
(set-ld-redefinition-action '(:warn . :overwrite) state) (defmacro mac (x) x) (defun foo (x) (mac x)) (defmacro mac (x) (list 'car x)) (defun foo (x) (mac x)) ; redundant, unfortunately; foo does not change (thm (equal (foo 3) 3)) ; succeeds, showing that redef of foo didn't happenThe call of macro
was expanded away when the first definition of
was processed, so the new definition of mac
is not seen in
unless foo
is redefined; yet our attempt at redefinition failed!
An easy workaround is first to supply a different definition of foo
, just
before the last definition of foo
above. Then that final definition will
no longer be redundant.The phenomenon illustrated above can occur even without macros. Here is a more complex example, based on one supplied by Grant Passmore.
(defun n3 () 0) (defun n4 () 1) (defun n5 () (> (n3) (n4))) ; body is normalized to nil (thm (equal (n5) nil)) ; succeeds, trivially (set-ld-redefinition-action '(:warn . :overwrite) state) (defun n3 () 2)If now we execute
(thm (equal (n5) nil))
, it still succeeds even though
we expect (n5)
= (> (n3) (n4))
= (> 2 1)
= t
. That is
because the body of n5
was normalized to nil
. (Such normalization
can be avoided; see the brief discussion of :normalize
in the
documentation for defun
.) So, given this unfortunate situation, one
might expect at this point simply to redefine n5
using the same
definition as before, in order to pick up the new definition of n3
. Such
``redefinition'' would, however, be redundant, for the same reason as in the
previous example: no syntactic change was made to the definition. The same
workaround applies as before: redefine n5
to be something different, and
then redefine n5
again to be as desired.
A related phenomenon can occur for encapsulate
. As explained above, an
event is redundant if it is identical to one already in the
database. Consider then the following contrived example.
(encapsulate () (defun foo (x) x)) (set-ld-redefinition-action '(:warn . :overwrite) state) (defun foo (x) (cons x x)) (encapsulate () (defun foo (x) x)) ; redundant!The last
event is redundant because it meets the criterion
for redundancy: it is identical to the earlier encapsulate
event. A
workaround can be to add something trivial to the encapsulate
, for
(encapsulate () (deflabel try2) ; ``Increment'' to try3 next time, and so on. (defun foo (x) x))
The examples above are suggestive but by no means exhaustive. Consider the following example.
(defstub f1 () => *) (set-ld-redefinition-action '(:warn . :overwrite) state) (defun f1 () 3) (defstub f1 () => *) ; redundant -- has no effectThe reason that the final
is redundant is that defstub
a macro that expands to a call of encapsulate
; so this is very similar to
the immediately preceding example.

Executive chef at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay
This signature soup highlights the remarkable variety of California pumpkins.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
Halve the pumpkin from top to bottom (remove the seeds and discard) and place it, cut side down, on an oiled baking sheet. Bake until the pumpkin is soft for about 45 to 60 minutes. Cool for about 20 minutes.
With a spoon, scrape the pulp and discard. Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions and apple, and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions and apples are soft. Add the pumpkin and water, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Let cool.
In batches, purée the soup in a blender on high speed, about 3 minutes per batch, until very smooth. Strain through a fine mesh into a pot and add the cream. Bring to a boil. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Whip ¼ cup cream to soft peaks and add cinnamon. Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Add 1 spoon of cinnamon cream.

First-place Pirates try to fend off pesky Padres
All-Star Locke opposes Stults in matchup of lefties at PNC Park
Any Pirates fan will tell you that, despite their record, the Padres are not to be taken lightly.
The 16-36 mark Pittsburgh compiled after Aug. 8 last season included five losses and just one win over the Padres. Since PNC Park opened in 2001, the Pirates have dropped every home series against the Padres, who are 29-10 in the Buccos' ballpark.
So, yes, one could say that San Diego had been causing problems for the Pirates well before Padres righty Andrew Cashner flirted with a perfect game Monday night, firing a one-hit shutout in a series-opening 2-0 victory.
The Pirates will look for a better result Tuesday night in the second of a four-game set at PNC Park. Jeff Locke is scheduled to pitch for Pittsburgh, with fellow southpaw Eric Stults toeing the slab for San Diego.
Every game is crucial for the Pirates, who enter Tuesday tied with the Cardinals for the National League Central lead. The Reds are just 2 1/2 games back.
Locke, a first-time All-Star this season, has struggled since the Midsummer Classic, but he's coming off his finest performance of the second half. On Thursday, he held the Cubs to three hits and one run across seven innings, with one walk and five strikeouts.
"I just think you've got to keep building on it," said Locke, who was sent to Double-A Altoona near the end of August to rest awhile. "Nothing has really changed with me mentally. Yeah, I had the break in between, but I'm still trying to go out there and attack and be aggressive, and tonight was just an example of everything going the way you'd like it to."
Before his latest outing, Locke hadn't won since July 21. His opponent Tuesday, Stults, last won July 14.
But Stults turned in a quality effort during his last outing. Pitching in Philadelphia on Wednesday, he surrendered six hits -- including two solo shots, which accounted for the only runs -- over six innings, while issuing five strikeouts without a walk.
"I gave us a chance to win," Stults said afterward. "That was big for me. The last two starts haven't gone so well."
Padres: Gyorko contributes in familiar territory
Jedd Gyorko -- a Morgantown, W.Va., native and former West Virginia University star -- drove in one of San Diego's two runs in Monday's series opener. The clutch hit was likely witnessed by a crowd of Gyorko supporters, about 1,400 of whom are expected to make the roughly 1 1/2-hour trip from Morgantown to Pittsburgh for this week's series.
"It's going to be interesting to see how many show up," said Gyorko, who grew up rooting for the Pirates. "Morgantown is home for me and we're like all one big family, so when something like this happens, they definitely gather and give me a lot of support."
Pirates: Newcomers aiding playoff run
Justin Morneau, Marlon Byrd and Kyle Farnsworth haven't been Pirates for very long, but a team chasing its first postseason appearance since 1992 has already benefited from their collective presence. Morneau drove in the game-winning run Sunday, Byrd is batting .319 and Farnsworth hasn't surrendered a run in six appearances.
"They made a good team stronger," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "They've given us more weapons. When [we] can bring in men who've played their volume of games and gone through different challenges and not been involved in a meaningful pennant race, they have an excitement level that's real."
Worth noting
• In September, the Pirates are 8-7 and the Padres are 9-5.
• When the two teams met in San Diego Aug. 19-21, the Bucs won two out of three.
