Hour of the Houndour (Japanese: ダークポケモン・デルビル Dark Pokémon Houndour) is the 34th episode of Pokémon: The Johto Journeys.
Still on their way to Goldenrod City, Ash and co. decide to have a lunch break. Only to find that Ash's backpack had been stolen. Elsewhere Team Rocket steals a ham from Nurse Joy's grocery bag, onlt to have it stolen by something else. Brock comes up with a plan to lure out the thieves. Later that night, the thieves turn out to be the Dark Pokémon, Houndour. A Houndour with a scar on its right eye appears on a ledge. This particular Houndour is the leader of the pack. Why would Houndour want to steal food?
Episode Plot
The heroes have a lunch break. Ash returns with water and is asked where the bread is. Ash remembers he put it in the backpack, but sees it is gone. Ash believes someone stole it, but Brock and Misty have not seen or heard anyone sneaking. Ash remembers he has badges, PokéDex and his Poké Balls in the backpack. Brock sees some footprints belonging to a Pokémon, so Ash goes to follow it to find the thief. Joy comes out with Chansey and goes to have an ice ceam, leaving her groceries on a bench. Team Rocket appear to steal the buffet, though Jessie calls her Wobbuffet back after coming out on that word. With a rod, James pulls Meowth up after stealing the ham. They go to eat it, though Meowth chews on the whole part. They get in the fight and in the distraction, the ham disappears. Team Rocket sees someone has taken it and accuse Wobbuffet, who confirms he saw who took the ham. Hearing Nurse Joy coming, they all hide.
Joy sees a package of ham and wonders who'd do that. The heroes appear, with Brock being pulled behind by Misty for a familiar scene with Nurse Joy. Joy tells them someone took her ham and Ash tells someone took his backpack. Misty thinks Jessie and James are in this theft, but Joy did not see anyone. Pikachu notices the same footprints, so the gang follows them, while Team Rocket are interested in the thief. The heroes come to the end of the trail and Brock thinks it is an ideal place since the wind blows here. Brock makes a sausage decoy from wood and boils it with the real sausage. At the night, the gang anticipates the thief to take the sausage bait. After some time, the thief comes and takes the bait and runs away. Brock is pleased, since it will have to come back for the real sausage. Suddenly, they feel something approaching and soon see it is a group of Pokémon, Houndour.
One of them throws the fake sausage and with their leader's permission, they attack the heroes. Ash sends Cyndaquil and Chikorita, Misty goes to send Staru (but Psyduck comes out) and Brock his Onix. Cyndaquil evades Houndour's attacks, while Misty orders Psyduck to use Water Gun, but fails. A Houndour goes to attack Psyduck, but gets pushed by Rszor Leaf. Another Houndour attacks Ash, but misses, the Chikorita uses Vine Whip. Onix goes to tackle, but Houndour dodge and bite Onix. Pikachu uses Thundershock to scare them, while a Houndour hits Cyndaquil, causing Cyndaquil's flames to ignite. Cyndaquil uses Flamethrower to scare them off. The leader appears and the Houndour retreat. Brock thinks the leader wants to battle Ash, to which Ash accepts. Houndour uses Leer and attacks Pikachu, who dodges. Pikachu uses Quick Attack, but misses Houndour. Houndour leaps and goes to bite, though Pikachu dodges in time and evades its Flamethrower attack. Pikachu uses Thunder, but fails to hit Houndour.
Houndour and Pikachu are exhausted, but Houndour hear a sound and use Smog. They retreat, so the heroes follow them. The Houndour aid another Houndour, who battles a Golem and collapses. The heroes watch the battle and see the food the Houndour were taking to aid their friend. Houndour leader uses Flamethrower on Golem, who rolls out and hits the leader. Golem strikes, but Ash manages to rescue Houndour in time. Golem attacks once more, so Chikorita uses Razor Leaf to chase it away. After the battle, Brock sees the collapsed Houndour and sees its wounds get infected. Ash uses a potion and sprays Houndour with it. Houndour is stung with it and whimps in pain, alerting other Houndour. Ash calls Cyndaquil and Pikachu back, while Brock sees Houndour is suffering from a fever. Ash tells the leader he needs to get to the center to treat the wounds. He puts the wounded Houndour on his back, alerting the other Houndour, but the leader calms them down. Team Rocket appear and want to take the Pokémon and the ham they stole, so Misty deduces they stole Joy's ham and the Houndour from them. The Houndour unite, leaving the heroes to go with the wounded Houndour.
Jessie sends Arbok, while James his Weezing and Victreebel, the latter gnawing on him. The Houndour use Leer, scaring Team Rocket. Nevertheless, Arbok uses Poiston Sting, Weezing Tackle and Victreebel Razor Leaf, but they all miss and get scared off by a Flamethrower that lit the lower end of their backs. The heroes run and have to take a break. Ash knows he has to get Houndour to the Center, but falls down. Suddenly, the Houndour appear, so they all help to carry the sick Houndour to the Center. Joy immediately treats it and later, she reports the fever is gone. The heroes are happy, but go outside the Center to see Team Rocket, who release the net to capture the Houndour. Ash, Houndour and Pikachu track them down. With Ash's advice, Houndour jumps high, using Flamethrower to cut the net and Pikachu to blast Team Rocket off. Because of this, the Houndour lick Ash. At the Center, the Houndour recovered and Brock gives it sausage. After they go, the heroes encounter the Houndour the last time, who are pleased by the work they did. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are hanging on a branch, while Wobbuffet observes.

- "We've... got trouble." - Ash
- This episode also introduces Dark Type Pokémon in anime.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Hitmontop.
- Pikachu used Leer, but Pikachu cannot learn Leer in the games.
- Ash says that his badges, Poké Balls and Pokédex were in his bag and all his "important stuff" were in his pockets as always. Yet, it is his badges, Poké Balls and Pokédex that he has always been shown to keep on his person (on the inside of his jacket, on his belt and in his pocket respectively).

Hi all,
This is my first post, and I'd like to ask a few questions.
Below is a mini-dungeon I created for a campaign. In the room with the red X, I'd like to create a platform. This platform should be natural-looking, not a simple black gradient or a stone platform. Do you have any suggestion on how I can achieve this?
Second, in the area with the green x. I gave the pool a little more depth with an inner shadow, but this looks very unnatural. How can I improve it?
Is there anything else I can do to make the map better?
Thank you very much,
I built this using gimp. Although saved as a png, I do have a file with the layers still split.
Hi Greyface, I think this looks really good.
You did a great job with the steps and platforms, however it's a bit harshly lit. I recommend you take a soft fuzzy brush and use the BLUR tool on the gently blur the south side of the black forming the platform and each step. This will help the feature to look realistic. Make sure to keep the northern edge sharp just like you have it.
For the water, I know exactly how you are feeling because I am crap at doing water. I recommend you make a strong edge around the water, by using the following technique: make a new layer over your water layer and call this layer 'pool shadow' or something like. On your pool layer, press alpha to selection (or colour select if you used a layer mask) to select only the area of the pool, then go back to your pool shadow layer - keep this selection throughout. Get a fat black fuzzy brush and draw around the edges quite thickly. Then use the BLUR tool with a HUGE fuzzy brush size to smudge everything, then go around the outside again with a big black blush and then blur it again. Important to do everything by hand to avoid a machine-made look. All your black drawing and smudging should still be restricted to the blue pool area. It should look pretty good now, but if not you can run a gaussian blur and reduce the opacity or duplicate the layer, so that it looks good.
I recently made a similar underground map with pools of liquid and platforms and steps here where you can see the two things I am talking about being used: http://www.cartographersguild.com/fi...tml#post201410.
Thanks for your advice!

You probably aware of them already but you can try whatever in the list there.http://www.gamenewshq.com/
Wow... relaunch with $40k... quite far off from my expectation... I hope that it will be enough for your development funds... never seen any 2nd KS lower their goal by 60%... anyway that is good, very good probably. Since AH is the online game that ever relaunched with this kind of maneuver... My prediction is you will hit the goal very early if same pledger pledged again, my positive prediction is within the 1st week. The first 3 days spike will extremely helpful to get more views. So, get previous pledgers attention quick make sure they are ready 1 st day
I applaud for this smart move, getting the artificial hype early on KS will definitely gives of good impression like " woow this game is very popular" kind of hype, hopefully bystanders will get notice of it especially if AH featured on KS.
2nd week onward are the real battle with well-known plague in KS that we call Mid-Slump, do you have any concrete plan on how to battle 2nd week? I'm suggesting a very active update in 2nd week, you might want to time your update release because if you lump all the hype in the first week or in one go, the hype will gradually on its knee next week/2-3 days. You need the traffic to be steady, faeria is good example of steady traffic. If you look at your own chart in kicktraq or maybe KS creator page, you can see the fluctuation of activity which tells you that you lost a few days with very small number of view or no view at all.
If AH manage to get into the hot list in Kicktraq, that will give more momentum towards stretch goal... which is a good thing, and you need that TRAFFIC.

- "I did warn you not to trust me."
- ―Petyr Baelish to Eddard Stark
Petyr Baelish, popularly called Littlefinger, is a major character in the first and second seasons. He is played by starring cast member Aidan Gillen and debuts in "Lord Snow." Petyr Baelish is the Master of Coin on the small council. He is a skilled manipulator and uses his ownership of brothels in King's Landing to accrue intelligence on political rivals. He betrayed Eddard Stark to side with House Lannister and King Joffrey Baratheon following the death of King Robert Baratheon. Following the events of the Battle of Blackwater, King Joffrey named Littlefinger the Lord of Harrenhal.
Petyr Baelish is the head of House Baelish and is the lord of an extremely minor holding, just a small area within the Fingers, a coastal area in the north-eastern shores of the Vale of Arryn. In reference to his family's humble origin and the small size of his poor landholdings in the Fingers (as well as his small size as a child), he earned the derogatory nickname "Little-finger", which would stick with him throughout his life. Eventually even Baelish sarcastically embraced the nickname, due to the fact that it demonstrated how far he had risen, from a poor minor noble from the "little Finger" peninsula to one of the most powerful officials in the Seven Kingdoms.
Despite Baelish's humble origins, his extreme financial acumen has seen him rise to the small council and the rank of Master of Coin, the treasurer of the Seven Kingdoms, under King Robert Baratheon. His naked ambition often places him at odds with the Master of Whisperers Lord Varys. He is a friend of Lady Catelyn Stark, one of the few contacts she has at court. He was fostered with her family at Riverrun in his youth and developed unrequited feelings for her.[1]
He challenged her betrothed Brandon Stark to a duel and was severely injured. Brandon was later killed by King Aerys II Targaryen but Catelyn married his younger brother Eddard Stark in his place. He owns a number of brothels in King's Landing. Though the symbol of his family is the head of the Titan of Braavos, Petyr prefers to use a personal sigil, that of an unthreatening mockingbird.
Season 1
Littlefinger greets Eddard upon his arrival in King's Landing and reports that the realm is six million gold dragons in debt, half of it owed to House Lannister. Catelyn Stark and Ser Rodrik Cassel attempt to sneak into the city, but are spotted by one of Littlefinger's men. They are taken to meet Littlefinger at one of his brothels. Catelyn is angered by their treatment, but asks Littlefinger for aid. She is trying to identify the people who tried to have her son Bran Stark killed. Littlefinger is able to answer this quickly: the elaborate dagger wielded by the assassin used to be his, but he lost it in a gamble with Tyrion Lannister.[2]
Littlefinger fetches Eddard to meet his wife, but when Eddard realizes he was being brought to a brothel, he thinks Littlefinger is insulting him by saying his wife is a whore. Eddard throws Littlefinger up against a wall before Catelyn appears and Eddard becomes pacified. After hearing her news, he vows to find the truth and expose the Lannisters to Robert and Littlefinger agrees to be his ally in this, for the affection he once bore Catelyn as a youngster. Eddard believes that Littlefinger is still in love with his wife.[3]
Littlefinger attaches himself more firmly to Eddard's cause, giving him information that leads Eddard to Tobho Mott's smithy. He also points out some of the agents belonging to the Queen and to Varys. He later tells Sansa Stark about how Sandor Clegane has his face burned by his brother when he was young for stealing a toy. He advises her not to mention the matter to Sandor.[4]
Littlefinger loses a bet to Renly Baratheon over the joust between Ser Loras Tyrell and Ser Gregor Clegane. He makes it clear that he knows about Renly's sexual relationship with Loras, to Renly's discomfort. Littlefinger and Varys verbally spar, Littlefinger threatening to reveal to the King that Varys has been meeting with Illyrio Mopatis in secret whilst Varys threatens to reveal to the Lannisters that it was Littlefinger who implicated Tyrion in the attempted murder of Bran Stark. However, they then both support the motion to have Daenerys Targaryen assassinated before the Dothraki can invade Westeros.[5]
Littlefinger later introduces Eddard to Mhaegen, a prostitute and mother of yet another of King Robert's bastard children. Outside the brothel Eddard gets into a fight with Ser Jaime Lannister. Littlefinger flees, promising to return with the City Watch.[6]
Littlefinger is stunned when Eddard orders that Gregor Clegane be arrested and executed for his raids on the Riverlands and when he also orders Tywin Lannister to present himself at court to answer for his bannerman's crimes. Littlefinger reminds Eddard that Tywin is the richest man in Westeros and that it is gold that wins wars, not armies. Eddard disagrees, asking why then Tywin is not the king.[7]
Littlefinger tutors a new recruit to his brothels, Ros, and discusses his ambitions with her. Later, Eddard tells him the truth of Joffrey's parentage and his plan to install Stannis on the throne when Robert dies.[8]
Littlefinger suggests instead that they let Joffrey rule but act as the powers behind the throne. If he does not mature into the king they want, they can expose his dirty secret and install Lord Renly instead. Eddard rejects the plan as treason and instead asks Littlefinger to win over the City Watch to their cause. Littlefinger agrees, but later the City Watch turns on Eddard's men and kills them, whilst Littlefinger holds a dagger to Eddard's throat, pointing out, "I did warn you not to trust me."[9]
Lord Baelish asks the Queen to allow Sansa Stark to prove her loyalty as he attends the girl's audience with the Queen and the council. He stands with the small council as the details of Joffrey's reign are read out and Barristan Selmy's position is ordered to be taken up by Jamie Lannister. He glances suspiciously at Varys as Sansa seeks pardon for her father's actions.[10]
Baelish watches on as Eddard Stark confesses at his trial and is executed.[11]
Littlefinger discusses kingship with Varys, and they engage in banter revolving around the Master of Whispers' lack of genitalia.They eventually acknowledge their mutual admiration and respect of one another before being interrupted by Joffrey and his entourage.[12]
Season 2
- Main: Petyr Baelish Season 2
The Citadel announces the coming of winter and Littlefinger warns the small council that they do not have enough food for a protracted season. Cersei orders the city barred to refugees from the War of the Five Kings. Tyrion Lannister arrives to take up his position as acting Hand of the King to Cersei's consternation.[13]
Stannis Baratheon learns of Jaime Lannister's incestuous relationship with Cersei in a letter sent by Eddard Stark before his death. Stannis composes his own missive and sends it to all the high lords of the Seven Kingdoms asking them to declare their loyalty to him and telling them of Joffrey's illegitimacy. Cersei tasks Littlefinger with finding the missing Arya Stark and needles him about his love for Catelyn Stark. He responds by referencing her incest and receives a violent reprimand. King Joffrey Baratheon responds to the ensuing rumors by ordering a city wide massacre of his father's bastards. The city watch storm into Littlefinger's brothel and kill the infant Barra in front of his employees.[13]
Littlefinger mocks a request from the Night's Watch for assistance combating Wildling activity and reporting an attack by Wights. Tyrion has Lord Janos Slynt exiled to the Wall for his part in the massacre. Littlefinger intimidates Ros into keeping up her work despite the traumatic murder she witnessed.[14]
Tyrion meets with Littlefinger and outlines a plan to wed Myrcella Baratheon to Robin Arryn to secure the support of the Vale. He promises to make Littlefinger the Lord of Harrenhal and Lord Paramount of the Riverlands in exchange for his assistance and swears him to secrecy. Pycelle is arrested for revealing that Tyrion plans to wed Myrcella into House Martell and Littlefinger realizes that he was involved in a ruse. He confronts Tyrion who apologizes and offers him another opportunity; to act as an envoy to Catelyn to propose a prisoner exchange.[15]
Littlefinger reaches Catelyn at Renly Baratheon's camp in the Stormlands. He faces a frosty reception from Renly but nevertheless offers to betray the Lannisters and open the gates of King's Landing to Renly's army. He takes interest in Renly's new bride Margaery Tyrell and lets Margaery know that he is aware that it is a purely political marriage because of Renly's homosexuality.[16] He meets with Catelyn as planned and delivers Eddard's remains as a sign of good faith. She greets him with angry recriminations over his betrayal of Eddard and rejects his poorly timed advances. He delivers Tyrion's suggested exchange terms; Jaime for Sansa and Arya Stark. Littlefinger lies that the Lannisters have Arya in their custody.[16] Renly is killed in mysterious circumstances and Littlefinger then approaches the Tyrell's with a new alliance with Joffrey. This will allow Margaery Tyrell to remain a queen and provide Loras Tyrell vengeance on Stannis. He leaves the camp with them for Highgarden. [17] Catelyn acts alone to free Jaime on returning to Robb's camp, just as Littlefinger suggested.[18]
Littlefinger travels to Harrenhal to propose an alliance between House Lannister and House Tyrell to Lord Tywin Lannister.[19] Littlefinger is successful in negotiating with the Tyrells and the allied forces arrive in time to claim victory at the Battle of the Blackwater.[20]
Littlefinger is elevated to Lord of Harrenhal in reward for brokering the alliance. He jokes that now he must get started on producing some heirs. Sansa's betrothal to King Joffrey is broken so that Joffrey can marry Margaery. Sansa is overjoyed at this, but tries to look heartbroken. Littlefinger warns Sansa that she isn't fooling anyone and that Joffrey will not let her go despite setting her aside. Lord Petyr tells her that she reminds him of Catelyn and offers to take her home to Winterfell but she is reluctant to trust him.[21]

- Littlefinger: "You know what I learnt losing that duel? I learnt that I'll never win. Not that way. That's their game, their rules. I'm not going to fight them: I'm going to fuck them. That's what I know, that's what I am, and only by admitting what we are can we get what we want."
Ros: "And what do you want?"
Littlefinger: "Oh, everything, my dear. Everything there is."[22]

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Petyr Baelish's father made the acquaintence of Lord Hoster Tully during the War of the Ninepenny Kings, where they fought together. On the basis of this acquaintence, Petyr was sent to foster at Riverrun, where he met Hoster's own daughters, Catelyn and Lysa. Lysa developed a crush on Petyr, but Petyr preferred the older, more unobtainable Catelyn. When Catelyn was betrothed to Brandon Stark of Winterfell Petyr challenged Brandon to a duel of honor for Catelyn's hand, but was soundly defeated. Petyr returned home. He was later appointed as a customs official in Gulltown, the main city of the Vale, and his extreme success in raising funds led Lord Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, to appoint him to the small council as Master of Coin, a task at which Petyr has excelled.
"Littlefinger" is a nickname given to Petyr by Edmure Tully during their time at Riverrun together. It is a reference to the fact that Petyr Baelish's holdings are on the smallest of the Fingers, the numerous headlands and peninsulas protruding into the Narrow Sea on the Vale's east coast.
Petyr is the only living member of House Baelish, though it is so poor that he gained all of his current wealth due to his own brilliant career in financial administration. Petyr's great-grandfather was actually a common sellsword from Braavos who came to the Vale. His son, Petyr's grandfather, founded "House Baelish" when he was knighted, but did not hold any land. Petyr's own father held some land, but only a few stony acres in the Fingers. The only real benefit Petyr received from being born into House Baelish is that it technically made him a member of the minor nobility, thus allowing his initial entry into court life. Petyr downplays his partial descent from the Free Cities of the east, even abandoning the use of the original sigil of House Baelish, displaying the Titan of Braavos, to his own personal sigil featuring a mockingbird. Thus it is somewhat ironic that he criticizes Varys for being from the Free Cities.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Petyr Baelish" is pronounced "PEE-ter BAY-lish", i.e. like the normal given name "Peter".

WASHINGTON – Military families who want to be nearby while their wounded family members are in the hospital now have a new – more comfortable – place to stay near Washington.
On Tuesday, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the new Fisher House at Fort Belvoir.
"It's a home away from home for those who have a loved one who is sick or is wounded in service to this country," says Ken Fisher, chairman of the Fisher House Foundation, describing the network of at least 57 homes located on military medical center grounds.
"We like to think of it as a piece of their homes."
The 10,000 square foot home sits across the street from the Fort Belvoir Community Hospital. Fisher says this is more than just a port in the storm for the families, "It is the support system that will form within these walls."
Twelve families will be able to stay at the Fisher House, and that means they will be able to help each through the bad days.
The Fisher House Foundation makes sure families get to stay for free.
"It all comes back to the main reason why we do it, and that is to honor the sacrifices that have been made for us."
Since the first two Fisher Houses were built in 1991, the foundation says it has saved families more than $190 million dollars in transportation and lodging.
The Fort Belvoir Fisher House is the third in Virginia and there are three in Maryland.

House Republicans are moving to try to defuse a potential debt crisis with legislation to prevent an economy-rattling fiscal crisis for at least three months.
The GOP legislation marks a tactical retreat by House GOP leaders, eager to avoid a potential first-ever default on U.S. payment and debt obligations as they wrestle with President Barack Obama over taxes, spending and the deficit.
The bill, which House Republicans expect to pass today, would give the government enough borrowing leeway to meet three months' worth of obligations, delaying a crisis showdown next month.
It also contains a provision that slaps at the Senate, which hasn't debated a budget since 2009, by withholding the pay for either House or Senate members if the chamber they serve in fails to pass a budget plan.

Strong winds have closed down state ferries crossing the Pamlico Sound.
The state ferry system says all runs on the Pamlico Sound, Cedar Island-Ocracoke and Swan Quarter-Ocracoke routes, have been cancelled today due to safety reasons.
They says winds are blowing 40 miles per hour sustained, which makes it unsafe for the boats to cross the sound.
Anyone with a reservation for today is advised to call 800-BY-FERRY (293-3779) and press 2 to speak to the reservation center to obtain a refund.
The reservation center is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
The ferry system says the Hatteras-Ocracoke route is running on the half hour to accommodate traffic to Ocracoke.

I switched to a dark theme (Dolorean Dark). I like it and I think--it is better for eyes. However I have problems in some web pages. Most pages are intended to be shown on white background. On dark theme form controls have black background and mostly the font is also black, so the content of forms are invisible. I would like to use white theme on web pages in Firefox.
changing userContent.css solves problem ; more information is here also dolerean theme comes with the firefox tweak more information is here; just installing it is enough
You cannot do anything with it, except changing to a white theme!
EDIT: This is wrong. Please check the below comment given by OP for correct answer

You've heard the expression "chicken of the sea"? Well, dolphins are the NY strip steak of the sea.
Next time you vacation to the east coast - Savannah, in particular, look through your binoculars around 1:30 am and you'll see ghostly dolphin boats cruising through the tides with eerie glowing lights surrounding the boat's hull.
Oh sure, they call themselves "shrimpboats" but everyone around these here parts knows that they're really casting for dolphins. Why else would there be hundreds of dolphins jumping through the air in their wake? They're jumping for joy at the sight of nets full of shrimp (aka "dolphin bait"). And all those seafood "soups of the day" on Bay Street? Dolphin a la king!
Dolphins were invented by the god Dionysus in 5 B.C. during one of his all-night drinking binges (He claims he did it because he was feeling unusually horny that night.) Dolphins are the second smartest speices on the Earth, but as mentioned above, very stupid... yeah makes you think doesn't it("Think" is a loose term here); they fall just below mice and just above humans as shown by my misspelling of "species."
Dolphins were once considered as mammals, but it has recently been confirmed that they are actually fish. This conclusion has been reached by a recent study commissioned by Australian prime minister Paul Hogan. That study dispelled many popular myths such as:
- Dolphins breath air - this is not true, they actually absorb all of the oxygen they need from their food, the gas leaving the blowhole is simply waste gasses from digestion.
- Dolphins give birth to live young - actually dolphins lay eggs however these eggs are cleverly disguised as floating bottles.
- Dolphins are warm blooded - the appearance of this is due the acid on the skin of the dolphin reacting with the thermometer increasing it's temparature.
Dolphins enjoy smothering themselves with mayonnaise and being eaten by tuna, unlike many environmentalists think.
Swimming with dolphins
Quite probably the most overrated experience anyone can endure. This ruined my holiday to the Bahamas (which was quite impressive as this place is tedium personified in land mass form). This was actually chosen as the number one thing to do before you die by the BBC. Shooting up Heroin probably beats this. Taking my cat-ferret-dog for a walk on Mt. Everest in a snowstorm barefoot was more spiritual than this experience.
Seriously, imagine a large fish. Add some jumping and thats your lot. I just can't begin to fully describe how mind-numbingly dull swimming with dolphins is. It is very nearly as dull as Carlisle, or even Dent.
A favourite dolphin activity is not, as previously thought, swimming with humans -- it is instead swimming close enough to humans to steal their jewelry and sell it on SEABay.
Cold Blooded Sexual Predator of the Seas
"I was raped by Simon Cowell. But I grew to enjoy it."
"Dolphins are great lovers. just ask my mom, sister, brother, and everyone in my family, including me."
Dolphins are manically hypersexual and will rape divers if excited, as in the movie Cocoon. It makes you wonder what dolphin trainers do in there free time.
Dolphins, like hippies, do not have sex. They have marathons. Good luck explaining when the life-guard finds all of you naked in a tide pool.
The force of a male dolphin's ejaculation is equal to that of the Saturn V rocket. Quote: "Careful. Those dolphins look horny."
"Aim higher and higher! That's where the fun is. "
"Fully Experience the joy of dolphins."
Intelligence etc
Dolphin intelligence has been massively over-rated by scientists, because if dolphins are so smart, why do they live in igloos? This is because scientists are easily tricked by sycophancy and dolphins pander to their egos. The dolphin will constantly nod along to whatever the "scientist" says and is always ready to laugh its annoying little laugh.
Dolphins are famous for their victorious resistance of the complicating powers of Law, just like rich people. Additionally, they are the only animal capable of ascension into Heaven when they die; they just choose not to.
"The truth is, dolphins are all terrorists, like ex-baseball players or judges from Dancing With the Stars. Think about it. They're always so happy to learn stuff like jumping through flaming hoops backwards. It's because they teleport out of their pens at night and launch plasma-based airstrikes against secret military bases. Remember Hurricane Katrina? They used their reality bending mind-powers to call upon that fat guy who flies around on a cloud and controls the weather. They have powers like that because they are control freaks."
It's true. You know the Nazis? Hitler was a figure-head.
The Great Uprising '97
A dolphin uprising occurred in 1997, after hundreds of dolphins developed powerful psychic abilities, through a pact with Oscar Wilde, including the ability to shoot "lasers" from their eyes. The dolphins attacked settlements on the Pacific islands including Fiji and New Zealand, although this was not heard of by many because, let's face it, nobody gives a shit about New Zealand, and Rugby players would blow up because of the happiness, so the government hides the information. The dolphin army began growing in number, threatening larger, more important places until Robochrist, the second reincarnation of Jesus as a cyborg, stepped in and silenced them with his Blessed Smite Cannon.
Because of this uprising, John West changed their practices and began tinning tuna with dolphin meat so that now the dolphin population is controlled so uprisings can never happen again.
Many TV programs show animals, such as dolphins, being tagged. This is not so they can count them, it's actually a method of killing the dolphins, which biologists seemingly hate. As soon as the dolphin is released back into the water, the tag short circuits electrocuting and killing the dolphin.
General Opinion
"Dolphins are wondrous creatures. A special bond exists between humans and dolphins, a unique relationship that extends beyond conventional methods of communication and transcends human tendencies to seek out members of the same species."
"The truth is, Dolphins are stupid. Just like Dolphin-likers. Kill them all."
"They're just another thing to take the white women away."
"Dolphins are a lie created by the government to make money."
"Dolphins got dick-shaped face and are quite stupid contrary to what you can see in movies. Indeed, movies are made to entertain so obviously the stupid dolphins are forced to act as clever. Dolphins usually follows people in their boat because once again they are stupid and many of them die chopped by boat's engine. Dolphins do not have dicks. To reproduce they insert their dick-shaped faced into the asshole of each other and will start making strange sounds. People thought these cries occurred when the dolphins are communicating with each other but in fact they are the cries of pain when receiving dick-shaped faces into their holes. Dolphins don't have necks and their body shape is like Quasimodo, that is, they are curved. If you want to kill a dolphin you just have to take a boat and run into them. The stupid animal will watch you come, crash against the boat and die."
"Dolphins are the nerds of the sea."

Iruka's Ordeal (イルカの試練, Iruka no Shiren) is episode 177 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
After being denied a chance to join four of his classmates on a "Test of Courage" that will take place later that night, Naruto decides to pull a prank on them. Reprimanded by Iruka Umino who was nearby, Naruto declared that he would never return to the Academy because he realised that Iruka was looking at him in the same manner that the other villagers did. Initially seeking consult with the Third Hokage who was busy at the time, Iruka speaks with Kakashi Hatake instead. While Naruto is walking around the village, he runs into the same group of boys whom he had scared in the cemetery. Their leader, Hibachi, offers him a chance to join their group, telling him that a patrol unit had fought some enemy ninja in the back hills the day before, and that if he could bring back something from the battle site, they would let him in. As Naruto runs off, the boys express delight that there might still be some enemy ninja out there, unaware that Shikamaru Nara and Chōji Akimichi were listening in. Later, in class, when Iruka asks where Naruto is, Shikamaru exposes the trick that the boys played on Naruto, and Iruka announces that the class is to have study hall while he runs off to find him. While Naruto is running through the forest, excited at the prospect of having friends, he is followed by unseen ninja.

Albert Nobbs is a movie set in the 19th century. Glenn Close plays Albert Nobbs a woman posing as a man in order to find work in 19th century Dublin, Ireland. What I loved about this movie is what a fine job the makeup crew did making Glenn Close into a man. Glenn Close play a mousey man to be sure and others in the movie thought him to be strange but you could not even guess that he was a woman. Albert kept to himself and personally I think he was a bit off in his dreams for the future. He was working as a waiter in a hotel and saving his money to buy a shop. He had visions of running a Tobacconist shop but he does not smoke, does not even know how to roll a cigarette.
The movie starts out showing us the hotel staff and their roles and shows us Albert. We do not know Albert is female until one night he is forced to share his room with the painter and a tic starts biting him. In an effort to get rid of the tic he removes his clothes and exposes his breasts. The Painter sees this and Albert is in a panic that he will be exposed. The Painter assures Albert he will not give him away and later in the movie after being pestered by Albert to keep his secret, the Painter (Spoiler Alert) opens his coat showing Albert that the he also is a woman and tells Albert his story. Albert is then fascinated with the fact that Hubert Page (the painter) is living her life as a man and has a wife. Albert fixates on this aspect and wonders how they sleep and did Hubert tell her before or after marriage that he was a woman. Albert wanting companionship decides that Helen, one of the maids, would be a good wife for him and asks her out for a walk. Helen uses Albert to get presents for her. Albert proposes marriage and Helen tells him he doesn't have a clue what it is to date a woman or even how to kiss one. After Typhoid sweeps through Dublin and kills off many including Hubert Page's wife Cathleen, Albert says to Hubert that he could take the place of Cathleen and Hubert and he could run the Tobacco shop together. Hubert tells Albert that that's not going to work that Cathleen was his universe. The movie is not a Disney happily ever after movie. Spoiler Alert. The movie does not end with Albert finding his own Cathleen, instead he winds up dying never getting his shop and all the money he as saved up does not go to the painter which would have made a bit of a happy ending or even to Helen to help with the baby. Instead the hotel owner finds it. Course this helps her keep the hotel open and everyone employed so not a dismal ending at least. The end scene shows the painter holding the baby and talking with Helen about the future. She tells him she is going to be tossed out and the baby taken away, he tells her we can't let that happen insinuating that they will become a unit and Hubert will take care of Helen. An ok ending for all except Albert who died. Course in my opinion he would have failed as a Tobacconist and would have just wasted all his money. I kept thinking the winner is the real estate agent with whom Albert gave deposit of a 100 pounds for the shop and would lose if he did not sign the contract by Monday. Albert saved for years to get enough money to buy a shop. Being dead and all the real estate agent gets to keep 100 pounds free and clear. This movie was about a lot of things, life in the 19th century, woman's rights etc. but I was thinking Hey, become a real estate agent and make some real money.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Knology says most residential services should be working correctly at this time.
A Knology employee says they are still troubleshooting their system and are looking for areas that need to be "stabilized."
The company essentially shut down on Friday as it worked to fix a major problem.
The Better Business Bureau says they received at least 50 calls from customers in the Augusta area complaining about not having phone or Internet service.

WASHINGTON – Skype is rolling out a new feature that users who have trouble connecting will likely appreciate.
It's called Video Message, and it's the visual equivalent of an answering machine.
Skype users on iOS, Android and Mac – not on Windows platforms – can send a video message up to 3 minutes in length to a person on their contact list who is offline.
Windows users will have access to Video Message by the end of April, according to Techradar.
Skype users on non-Windows platforms can send the video message from a phone, tablet or computer.
Users are able to use the feature to send 20 free video clips or upgrade to a Skype Premium subscription to send unlimited video messages.
Here's how it works:

We're having a little girl
October 14, 2004, 08:46:40 PM »
Here's a sad thing about GG being gone. I can't add to the thread I started 9 months ago where I questioned whether I should ever have a child, etc, then updated it 3-4 months ago to let everyone know we were having a baby and were excited about it.
Yesterday we found out we're having a girl. Only 1. I'm sorta disappointed. I was rooting for twins.
She appears healthy in there. All her fingers and toes and a head.
Can anyone recommend a nice movie with a father, little-girl relationship in it? Besides Family Man. Which is a cool movie, but then that kid basically ceases to exist by the end of the flick. Man, that disturbs me.
I'm looking at the pros and cons of having a girl. Pros are that when she gets really pissed, she'll probably get pissed at her Mom as opposed to me. Cons are that someday some boy is going to come along and take her away from us, whereas boys go and take someone else's little girl away from them (assuming heterosexuality of course). Pros are that they're supposed to be marginally cleaner and less wild than boys.
We've found our nanny/maid, who will start as soon as the new house is finished (which will be about 4 months after our baby girl is born). She's spent 6 of the last 8 years working as a nanny for a family helping to raise a set of twins (boy and girl) and their older sister. She's also my sister and she and my wife get along really well, so we're all really happy with the situation. She's worked for one of our companies for the past two years and has a fantastic work ethic. We're just dreading losing her when she finishes with her Masters in a few years.

Congrats to you on that great bit of news. One movie that comes to my mind that I really enjoyed was "I Am Sam" with Sean Penn.
My daughter is now 6 months and she's been pure joy up to now. You'll be in heaven from the get go, especially with their first smile and the first "dada".

That's fantastic news, malichai. We've got our 20-week ultrasound in a couple weeks, but I don't think we're going to find out the sex. I've thought about the advantages/disadvantages of having a boy or girl. All the symptoms point to being a boy so far, but I had a gut feeling it's a girl. We'll find out for sure in March.
I don't know any movies that fit. There's "What a Girl Wants", but that's about a dad being reunited with a teenage girl.
I think it would be neat to have a daddy's little princess, despite the fact that I'd be outnumbered. A friend of mine has a couple daughters, and the one that I've met is absolutely precious. My cousin, on the other hand, has 2 sons (one is my godson), and there's no way I'd ever let those hyperactive little critters anywhere near my home. My cats would be traumatized for life.
Neat, and you're living in about my favorite city in the country (I'm a KU grad). Lawrence would be a fun place to raise a kid. Good luck, and remember you have a few years to perfect your "Lay a hand on my daughter and I'll kill you" speech.

Yeah... I've been trying to figure out how to do that. I run that speech through my head a lot. It involves letting that boy know that I will hire people to follow him if I suspect trouble, that I am armed, that I will always be awake when he could be up to mischief with my little girl, and that I will destroy him if he hurts her.

Malichai, contragulations man. I have a 7 month old daughter and little girls are awesome. They usually turn out to be "daddy's little girl" from what I am told. One thing I think is kinda cool is that girl clothes are a lot cuter than boy clothes, so enjoy the experience of buying her stuff to wear.
Just think. When she's old enough to date and brings boys around to meet you, you can be cleaning your gun in front of him and give him the old "hurt her and I WILL kill you" speech. I look forward to that day...
As for good father-daughter movies, I really enjoyed Jersey Girl. I am a big Kevin Smith fan so I was really looking forward to it. The unfortunate thing is that the previews made it look like a romantic comedy. Once again, another example of a movie studio completely mis-marketing a movie. The whole Ben Affleck-Liv Tyler romance angle was completely secondary to the main story, which is about a guy and his relationship with his daughter in the face of the choices he has to make between doing what's right for his girl and doing what he thinks is right for him. A lot of people didn't like the movie but I loved it, and it had a lot more meaning to me since I have a daughter.

I have a daughter who is now 4 years old, and a 2 year old son. I have to say that I love them both and am very happy!
However, when my wife became pregnant with our son and I found out it was a boy, I was a little bit unhappy. See, I was originally scared to have a girl, but she was so great that I wanted another one! Good for me, it turns out that a son is really great too.
I can't think of any movie recommendations, but I will say that you will, without a doubt, be the happiest man you've ever been when that baby is born. By the way, and don't be grossed out but I got kinda scared when my daughter was born and she was *purple*. Turns out that it's normal, just from being in the womb or something. So don't freak like I did and ask the doctor "Should she be purple like that, or are you just incompetent?" (Ok, ok, I just thought the later part.)
Girls, in my experience, are less rowdy and more social than boys. But they also seem to become "independant" faster (as in "I want to play by myself, leave me alone daddy"). Quick little story, my daughter and I were playing The Sims 2 the other night when our sims had a newborn. I was playing with the baby to get it's "relationship" meter up with the parents when my wife asked by daughter "how much do you love daddy?". So, my daughter says "My little red bar goes from the bottom of the screen allllll the way to the top". (The bar in Sim2 is green, btw, and grows horizontally). So I said "is that good". And she says "I love you *this* much" and holds her arms as wide a possible. There is nothing else in the world that makes you feel that good.
So, to sum up, congratulations. It's a scary step, having kids, but one that you will not regret.

Yow. You need to come to my house. My daughter is insane. 2.5 years and a nut job already.
of course. I call her Crazy Hazy.
Congrats to malchi123493219 on the baby. When they whipped Haley out via c-section, I thought she was a boy (we didn't find out). Turns out her privates were not only purple, but quite swollen, giving the look of being hung.
Some bonuses of having a girl (I have a boy now, too, and figure I can be an authority on the subject):
1. NO CIRCUMCISION DECISION. I thought I'd be cool, calm and collected when the time came to make the C.D. with Riley. With a girl, it's come as you are.
2. Diaper changes are easy. My friend who had a boy said boy's diapers were easier. I call bull. Wiping the remnants of breast milk poo poo away from a boy's sack is one of the most difficult things I've done in a long time. With a girl, you just need to clean out all the folds. Remember: front to back!
3. When the women tell you how cute your baby is, you feel special. After all, she is half yours, no matter how ugly you may be.
4. You get a Daddy's Girl. Selfish as it may sound, I LOVE it when Haley comes to me instead of Mommy. Mommy gets her all day; I get her 2 hours a night. That's my time.
Some bad things about having a girl:
1. Boys.
2. Being surrounded by Dora the Explorer and Princess stuff all the time.
3. Wait til she turns 6-8 or so. I 've seen stores like Limited Too where they want your daughters to dress like hos. Freaks me out.
4. Not much else.
Kids are cool. Congrats to you and keep us posted.

We just had a little girl (our first child) 2 months ago today. I can honestly say that I could not possibly love her any more than I do. I was ecstatic to find out we were having a girl. She is so sweet and adorable.
I really don't care for baby boys or little boys because they act like girls. Why not get the real thing?

Aw dude... congrats. I've got an 8-mo-old boy, and although it's a shock to my life, I've no regrets about being "tied down" by a kid. It's awesome.
But let's get real: You're having a girl, so you need to buy a gun. There's no getting around it. You're a guy, you know what guys can be like. Do you want some guy dating your daughter without knowing that you're a vindictive rat who'd shoot him for just looking wrong at her? My suggestion: a good pump shotgun that you can have sitting dissembled on the kitchen table when he comes over. Practice sitting there cleaning it and talking at the same time, so you can have the "when will you have her home?" talk while wiping it down. You could consider a handgun, but frankly (and speaking as an owner of handguns, rifles, and shotguns) there's just something about a shotgun that says "don't get me pissed off because you tried to cop a feel on my girl."

I've considered that, but for psychological angle, I think the exotic/unknown would have a better impact. Like an SKS in a dragunov stock with a 30 round clip. That's an interesting looking firearm, and to the average person, pretty impressive (more so to some snot-nosed shitbird who thinks he can date my daughter).

Congrats, Malachai. I'll second the 'Jersey Girl' recommendation; sure, if you wanted a romantic comedy, that's not it. But for a good father-daughter flick, it's about all I can think of, and pretty well-done at that.

Girls are the best
With the birth of my son, some 16 months ago, I'd like to append this statement as follows.
When your first child is a girl, girls are best. When your second child is a boy, then they both are.
I love you kids!

BALTIMORE, Md. (WUSA) -- For the Pumas of Dr. Henry A. Wise, Friday's Maryland 4A State Championship Game at M&T Bank Stadium came down to the last 2 minutes and 14 seconds of the game.
The score had been locked at 7-6, Quince Orchard, since the second quarter when junior tight end Micah Till caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Isaiah Black, ultimately securing Wise's 12-7 victory and the school's first-ever football championship.

"I stayed focused because I knew we needed ... to throw the ball ... I counted on Micah. We practice it every single day," said Black, who completed 6 of 13 passes for 104 yards.
"We've been working on that same fade since week one, so it just felt great to see that practice ... in the game," said Till.
Friday's game was the closest of Wise's 14-0 season, as the Pumas met their match on defense. Despite the pressure from Quince Orchard's secondary, Wise was able to pull together and execute the game-winning play.
"We talked about giving 110 percent, everything you have and a little bit more ... they said they were going to get one for me and they came through," said Pumas head coach DaLawn Parrish.
In the final moments of regulation, the Cougars responded with a series of efficient drives, but with 30 seconds left in the game, junior defensive back Joseph Shelton intercepted a pass from Matt Choi at the Pumas' 1-yard line, ending Quince Orchard's late-game rally.
This is the second year in a row that Cougars head coach Dave Mencarini and his squad, who finished this season 12-2, have made it to the state championship but fallen just shy of victory. Tyrell Williams led Quince Orchard with 187 rushing yards and quarterback Matt Choi led his team in passing, completing 6 of 14 passes for 58 yards.
Maryland State Championships conclude Saturday with New Town versus Dunbar at 12:00 p.m. and Frederick Douglass versus Middletown at 3:30 p.m., both at M&T Bank Stadium.

AB 109 an increasing challenge for Placer jail, crime suppression
With California's embattled "criminal realignment" plan having been in effect for a year, a new independent study is beginning to question whether it's accomplishing one of its most basic and primary goals — reducing state prison overcrowding.
Meanwhile, Placer County law enforcement officials are voicing myriad concerns, ranging from an escalating prison culture inside the county jail to the possibility of rising crime rates.
Impacts matched by gains?
On Friday, Sept. 27, The Public Policy Institute of California revealed new findings on Assembly Bill 109, better known as the state's "criminal realignment" program. The institute is a nonpartisan group that researches California's state and local relationships. AB 109 has been at the center of a controversy over state and local authorities due to its channeling of thousands of convicts to county jails rather than state prisons. The institute's study of AB 109 was conducted by Dr. Magnus Lofstrom, who began his presentation by pointing out that most county jails were already facing serious problems with overcrowding before the would-be state prison inmates were transferred to them.
"One thing we found was that many of the county jails already faced significant capacity issues," Lofstrom said. "Seventeen counties were already operating under court orders limiting how many inmates could be held in their local jails … Another finding was that 93 percent of all county jails were already operating at their full capacity, prior realignment."
Another finding of Lofstrom's probe is that the decline of state prison populations due to AB 109 may have permanently leveled off, even as county jail populations continue to grow. In May 2011, the United States Supreme Court upheld a decision that state prison overcrowding in California had reached dangerous and degrading levels, violating the constitutional rights of inmates. The high court ordered the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to lower its prison population by more than one-third. The realignment plan has been billed as a way to comply with that order while saving the state's general fund large sums of money. Lofstrom's findings question to what extent AB 109 will meet those goals.
"Since realignment went into effect, the increase in county jail populations is not being matched by the decline of inmates in the state prison system," Lofstrom said. "When the law went into effect the state prison population declined by 12,000 inmates in the first three months. However, in the last three months, the overall decrease from previous levels has almost flat-lined."
A changing Placer Jail
The Placer County Jail has experienced a documented rise in prisoners since AB 109 was enacted. Placer County Sheriff's Captain George Malim said the daily population of the jail has gone from 523 inmates on any given day, in 2010, to the current level of 580. He added that the jail has also experienced a number of weeks and months where the average daily population was 600 prisoners. The main jail facility is rated for a maximum of 480 inmates. Placer County also has a nearby minimum security jail rated for no more than 160 inmates.
One direct consequence of the influx of bodies in the Placer Jail is that Sheriff's officials are being forced to release various types of suspects who are awaiting trial, according to how they rate on a threat index. Malim said such post-AB 109 releases do present risks to public safety.
"I think one of the best examples can be seen in the fact that we've had to release first-time drunk drivers," Malim said. "That's significant because drunk driving is one of the biggest threats to public safety in Placer County. We have far more people killed by DUIs than we do straight murder cases. In the past, we'd rather have kept those drunk driving suspects in custody and off our roads; but AB 109 forces you to make really tough decisions."
The development of bringing hardened and experienced state prison inmates to the Placer County Jail also appears to have created a more dangerous county jail environment for both prisoners and county correctional officers.
"Prior to AB 109, we had the so-called 'prison culture' in some of our holding pods; but now we've seen the prison culture spread throughout the whole jail," Malim said. "There's some anecdotal evidence of inmates starting to separate by gangs and race, and that active gang recruitment is going on — everything from white supremacist groups to known gangs like the Nortenos. There's also been an increase of fights inside the facility."
Effects on crime
Though initially endorsed by the California State Sheriff's Association, AB 109 has seen little to no support from the state's district attorney association and the police chiefs association. Last week, Scott Seaman, president of the California Police Chiefs Association, re-emphasized that by reminding the media, "Police chiefs up and down the state continue to have concerns about Realignment's short- and long-term impacts."Placer County's largest municipal police department, Roseville PD, shares those concerns. Roseville police sergeant Doug Blake is a member of the agency's crime suppression team. From Blake's perspective, one factor around AB 109 that could influence local crime rates involves all of the state's 58 counties having varying methods and policies for tracking "county prison inmates" that have been released, or are on alternative sentencing or ankle-bracelets.
"I think the Sheriff's department, the police and the county probation department in Placer have all come together to create a good system for monitoring these offenders who are out in the public," Blake said. "But the fact remains that we have no control over what other counties in the region choose to do. If they don't find effective ways to monitor their offenders, then I think Roseville and the rest of Placer will feel it. Criminals don't observe jurisdictional boundaries, and a lot of Roseville's crime already comes from individuals that live in surrounding counties."
An alleged example of Blake's assessment is the case of Michael Ramborger, 45, of Sacramento. Ramborger, a convicted criminal who was released from incarceration under AB109, is now suspected of being a significant methamphetamine dealer in Roseville. When Roseville narcotics detectives arrested him at his Sacramento home, they reportedly found meth packaged for sale and a loaded handgun with its serial number removed.
Roseville police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther said Ramborger was a reminder that criminals labeled "non-violent" under AB 109's classification system can still be dangerous.
"Right now, he's classified as a non-violent offender," she said of Ramborger, "but he had a loaded gun with him that had been filed down to make it untraceable."

Mischief and Halloween go together like summer and bikinis. This mischief is often created by bored children, specifically teenagers, but countless adults are also swept away with Halloween's torrents of trouble. The fake blood, the Halloween decorations, and the costumes just make it too easy to play pranks on people. And we are more than happy to observe the outcome.
So buckle up and sit back – let's get this roller coaster started.
#6 – Epic Halloween Prank:
Some say this video's fake. Sure, it might be, but it's still hilarious.
#5 – Math Teacher:
Prank is putting this video heavily. No one was injured, and no one was shocked or appalled. If anything, these students just realized that their teacher is a total badass.
#4 – Trick or Treat with Timmy:
This video taught me that the older someone is, the longer it takes them to realize its a prank. The best reaction is the party debating who should touch the prop. Joe, you're the biggest guy here, so you have to touch him.
#3 – Japanese Show:
I don't understand what's going on here, nor do I understand why everyone looks so nauseous. But damn it, its hilarious.
#2 – Halloween Punch:
Kid gets wrecked. Nuff said.
#1 – Motorcycle Skeleton:
The motorcycle-riding skeleton sets the prank up, but that screaming mans voice brings it home.

Non Irish St. Patrick's Day Wedding
Several months ago a lovely young couple, Catie and Richard, came to visit us here at Skamania. They loved us, we loved them, and wedding planning began. They settled on March 17 as their wedding date because it was the date that worked. They wanted simple, elegant and romantic and I think we all achieved it. It was a short and sweet ceremony in front of the fireplace in our Stevenson Ballroom, followed by cocktails in the conference lobby with the sun peeking through the windows. A little later everyone moved back into the Ballroom for a scrumptious buffet. The pictures I took aren't professional quality by any means but you'll get a sense of the romance of this couple's nuptials. It's been a lovely afternoon and I had so much fun with this family. Congratulations Caitie and Richard!

Undated--Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas is returning for his senior season.
The 6-foot-6 junior told the coaching staff on Tuesday, the final day to declare for the draft.
Thomas had said before the Hokies left Blacksburg, Va., for the Russell Athletic Bowl that his decision would be "up in the air" even if the NFL draft advisory board suggested he could be a first-round draft choice. He said he didn't think he was consistent enough to be a winning NFL quarterback, and that "I love the university, I love the people here, all my friends are still here, and ... I think I need some work to do."
He says the NFL remains his goal "while college is only a five-year experience that you can't get back."

Businesses invest in IT, cops invest in ET (evidence technology)
The consumerization of IT is an oft-quoted trend in IT circles: how dramatic changes in employee digital behavior are transforming how businesses manage their digital content.
It turns out the same behavior changes in criminals are transforming the legal system. As an example, a collection of digital evidence overwhelmingly convinced jurors in the recent Rutgers suicide case.
Sure, fingerprints and DNA remain central to fighting crime. But the tide is shifting, and digital evidence is more and more often the make-the-case content for investigators and prosecutors. Continue reading

No kemious. I'm retiring from buying stuff because I know I won't get what I want given my track record of buying cards randomly.
Alteil haven't changed it's business model.
I don't wanna buy gold boxes because it will throw dilates and bringers at me while giving me none of refess 5*s. I'll have to wait months and months before I can even point card a refess 5* so might as well quit except watch my replays for fun.
I was really hoping for a Complete Set box 12. So i can get all the cards without rng BS.
Heck, I just got free money from world of tanks like few minutes ago. I shot and ram killed an enemy sheriff and that got me free 500 gold.
And I can pinpoint buy what I want from world of tanks like kv-5, etc. kv-5 costs like 42 bucks? but i dun care At least its not a rng buy.
I have enough of buyers remorse from gold boxes. I still remember being severely butthurt a year or two ago when Aliria first came out and I didn't get a single copy of her despite buying like 5 gold boxes, yeah, **** that. I got her through rarity up lotto, and seasonal lotto, and lvl up -.- Then finally I could make a decent solar kingdom deck with her. Took me like almost a year.
Congrats on giving a shieldbreaker that actually can target units with def to break them though. Thats' an improvement. But still, I want complete set box 12. I don't wanna be really butthurt again after wasting money on rng pulls which's why I chose to just uh stop now because alteil haven't changed.
