Bad Molts? Death...?
Any advice to help my RCS in molting properly. I've never had a problem since keeping this colony for the last 3 years or so, but lately I've had 2-3 deaths that look to be from a bad molt. One for sure as I stared at the little gal for 30 minutes arching her back, hoping to witness her molt. I gave up and when I came back to the tank a bit later, lo and behold there is a Cannibal Party happening in my tank. I've heard of possibly adding a smidge of iodine, thoughts on this or anything else?
What are your water perams, including TDS?
if water is to high in tds it can cause bad molt along with it being to low along with gh and kh being to high or low. with that said cherrys are pretty hardy and tank take a wide and i mean side range in all of those parameters. also could it have been an age related death? and if you do to many water changes and they molt to soon that can cause death from bad molts as well. could be alot of things going on but deff post all paramters and temp to start to figure out the cause
High TDS is not that big of a factor for RCS, to low could be a issue and that is just because the GH might be 1-2 and would cause the shell on the shrimp to be to soft and not be able to molt out of it. Add some Calcium Montromilite. That should help and check the water conditons GH KH PH Nitrite Nitrate and Ammonia.
Honestly, I'm still getting the hang of testing my water. I know that's the biggest factor and will help me understand more about what I'm doing. Thanks everyone.
I have noticed in many threads calling for the use of montmorillonite clay (aka bentonite, koi clay). The calcium varies based upon source from 4 ppm to 23.7 ppm per teaspoon per gallon of water. There are other elements such as iron, magnesium and silica. For use with koi it helps clarify water and supposedly enhances color. Like golfers who would buy anything to reduce a stroke from their game koi enthusiasts would buy anything to enhance color. With all that said is this clay useful or a gimmick for shrimp? For openness I use the clay in my koi pond.

My new cousin Victor in The Netherlands needs some pup -pals, so check him out he's great WooooWoooo, his ID is 752818 he lives in Wapenveld in The Netherlands
Take care now
The Hippobeaglemus
It's been far too long since mummy sat down and wrote my diary for me, I am dictating to her from the chair by the window at the moment, she's better at typing than I am WOOF!
Spring is in the air!!! The sun has been shining and the park smells nice and sweet and everybody wants to play.....it's exhausting.....pant puff....I'm out of shape from all those winter goodies.
Mummy went to see grandma in Holland last week, she went to meet little Victor he is a new Beagle addition to our family and he lives at Grandma's house, he is 6 months old and he's just got his own Dogster page, so check him out and please be his pal, so he's Victor,Beagle from The Netherlands he's a cute kid!
WOOOOOOF .........just having a running fit........found my squeaky ball!!
Mummy has brought back lots of boxes with nice smelling things in them, no food unfortunately, but I've been having a good old root about in the new things for the house and it's very interesting, there's books and soft toys (not for me boohoo....made an attempt....but got caught) and more books....mummy likes to read! I'm hoping she'll let me sit in one of the boxes when it's empty.
While mummy was away HE looked after me.....yes mummy thought me and daddy needed some bonding time.......why?? I sort of behaved myself.....but I kept my eye on HIM!! I showed him how I felt by chewing the valentines gift he bought for mummy.....she's MINE!! I was a bit suprised though because instead of telling me off he was nice to me and gave me treats.....hmmmm....I can't be bought but....food is food and when he let me share his curry I must admit I was warming to him! When mum came home and daddy told her we'd had a takeaway she shouted at daddy: "He's not supposed to have CURRY!!!" and: "you don't know what comes out the other end" oh and: "How much did you feed him? He's looking FAT....right no more treats" Yeah Thanks dad... D'oh I told him not to say anything!!!
She doesn't know but he also let me sleep on her bed.......naughty!
I'm glad mummy's home now though, I missed her, I howled a bit when she was gone,it just wasn't the same without her cuddles and I like to sit and watch her in the kitchen doing stuff.
Right I think we're going out in a minute so have to go and do my 'dance of joy' It's the one where you wriggle your bottom really fast and run round in circles until mummy says "Sit Down!!" in a stern voice!
WOOFS for now
Mummy says my granma and grandad are coming on Thursday, they live somewhere called Holland, it's mummy's mummy and her step dad....does that mean he climbs steps??? I like granma, she smells the same as mummy and she gives me cuddles and treats, she always says I can go and live with her.......but I'm still here.......ah but I think I'd miss mummy too much. Apparently granma is knitting me a jumper, a red one, finally I get to wear clothes like all the humans......mummy says I don't need a jumper as I have fur, but I think I'd look rather fetching in red and I do get cold when we've been on the park too long in the winter, last year I was crying because my paws hurt in the snow.......I do love snow to run around in at first, but then it goes too cold. Guess I'm a big sissy sometimes! i'm happiest curled up in my basket with my fleece blanket nice and cosy.
Went out with daddy a few times this week as mummy says we have to bond, but he thinks he's more special than me!!! I was nice to him though.....oh apart from when I jumped up rather roughly and damaged his delicates....heehee....he went a bit pale and said some bad words, mummy told daddy off for yelling at me......see? She loves me best!
I've got to have a bath tomorrow ready for the visitors, I like it in the shower, the water feels nice and mummy says I'm always very good, I'm not too fond of that noisy thing that blows hot air.....the Hair Dryer, but luckily mummy only uses it for a little bit, my favourite is getting rubbed with the towel.....aaah lovely!!
Must go......it's cup of tea time!

Well, now that I may have a name for it…
maybe I can do something about it. "Cyclothymia" As if you all haven't seen it on the blog, right?
18 Sep
Music of the morning.
Sam Harris' "Don't Look In My Eyes", which popped up on my ipod this morning brought back memories from years past, including MRH, who passed away November 1986. I miss you, more than I could have ever told you. "All my memories are safely packed, and my dreams are neatly folded away. I've got nothing […]

Howdy, Communies! I experienced a certain degree of cognitive dissonance as I rounded up the reviews this week. I really liked last night's episode, and as a fervent Jeff/Annie shipper I was excited to see those two characters sharing a storyline, especially one that touched on their relationship, especially especially one in which Jeff said, "I don't make out with forgettable women." And my Twitter timeline was awash in people who felt the same way. But almost without exception, the reviewers considered Jeff and Annie's story as a weak story. And OK, maybe it wasn't as conceptually flashy as the Britta/Subway story, nor as dramatic as Troy and Abed's story, but that doesn't mean it was weak. Ah well, these things happen. And one day they'll pay. Oh, they'll all pay. Wait, pretend you didn't read that. Nothing to see here. Let's get rounding up!
- Thanks to his having been provided with a screener, the AV Club's Todd VanDerWerff posted his review within a minute of the episode ending in the Eastern and Central time zones. I picture him sitting at his desk with his index finger poised above the button on his mouse, watching NIST's atomic clock so he could upload it to the AV Club servers at exactly 20:30 EDT. Anyway, he gave the episode a B+, a grade he calls provisional based on how the second half of the episode plays out. But, as he said on Twiiter, "grades aren't important." And indeed, he has a lot of good things to say about the episode. "Relentlessly entertaining," for example, and "all three subplots really have moments that pop." He particularly liked Britta's doomed love affair with Subway and Leonard's pajamas.
- Andrea Towers of The Voice of TV also gave the episode a B+. She thought the Jeff/Annie storyline "left a little to be desired," and she's feeling conflicted about the direction she sees Abed's character going: "his detachment was played up a little more than usual and it simply made Abed seem cold and bitter." But she enjoyed the Subway/Britta romance, as well as the general trend during the third season of giving Gillian Jacobs "more chances to show off her strong comedy chops." She also liked that Vice Dean Laybourne was clever enough to use Inspector Spacetime metaphors to drive a wedge between Troy and Abed,
- Brian Collins of Badass Digest said the episode was "a hilarious half hour and the best of the episodes that have aired post-hiatus," pointing out that it managed to be both "a nearly perfect 'normal' episode" and contain enough conceptual silliness to let it live up to "its trademarked 'like nothing else on TV' cred." He also thought it had "the best boner joke I've ever heard outside of a Jim Steinman song." The review also contains a paragraph contributed by Film Crit Hulk, speaking Hulkishly about how the episode approached the product placement: "THROUGH 'SUBWAY'S' HISTORY IT DIRECTLY ADDRESSES THE WAY WE COMPROMISE IN THE NAME OF LIVELIHOOD, HOW WE ESCHEW OURSELVES AND HOW WE TRY TO CONNECT BENEATH THOSE SURFACES ANYWAY."
- Melissa Westphal was absent from the Rockford Register Star's Community podcast featured this week, leaving Will Pfeifer and Chris Soprych to go it alone. They really liked it, though not as much as "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons." Highlights included Pfeifer describing Westphal as "our Britta" and himself as "a colossal geek," Soprych admitting he's never read 1984, Gillian Jacobs being named as the season's MVP, and a lengthy discussion of Jeff & Annie's storyline that demonstrates that if you don't just brush something aside because it's not weird or dramatic enough, you can still find a lot of humor and some interesting things to say about it.
- The other review I read that devoted more than a few lines to Jeff and Annie's story was by Jennifer Marie, writing at A Still and Quiet Conscience. But of course she would, because here on LJ she goes by jennynoname and she's one of the moderators of milady_milord. But that doesn't make her observations any less interesting! Her read on it is that Annie wanted Jeff "to realize how to apologize so that he will apologize to HER for things that she has clearly bottled up …it's hilarious that Annie masks her outrage by blaming it on 'defending her gender' when it's really about the fact that it took Jeff less than a day to apologize genuinely to someone and make up with them (even though he barely knows them), and yet, he has not done the same thing with a person who he's known for three years and has a much deeper relationship with."
- Dave Harvey of What Culture! rated the episode 3 stars out of five. He thought it "a fairly average episode," mostly because found Jeff's plotline boring—"maybe the weakest the show has done in a while"—and thought Annie was underused. He didn't have much to say about the other two subplots—in a critical sense, that it; he recaps them fairly thoroughly—but he thought "seeing John Goodman in a big red onesie was a treat."
- Laura Aguirre of ScreenCrave also thought Jeff's storyline was lacking somewhat—"like Kim, the Jeff/Annie subplot is pretty forgettable"—but she liked the Troy/Abed and Britta/Subway storylines enough to give the episode a rating of 8.5 of 10. She particularly liked the way the writers integrated the SUBWAY® product placement into the story and the return of Dean Laybourne, and she called Pierce's ink-drinking "priceless."
- Derek B. Gayle of KSite TV called the episode "very, very good," adding that "there really isn't anything particularly negative to talk about." He points to the utilization of all the major characters (except Chang) as a strength, and praised SUBWAY® for its willingness to give the show complete creative freedom in how the product placement was handled. He also mentioned Ludwig Goransson's score and how it contributed to the success of that subplot, especially the music that accompanied Britta and Subway's liaison in the pillow fort.
- Sean Gandert of Paste Magazine gave the episode a rating of 8.9 out of 10. He argues that "Digital Exploration of Interior Design" was in many ways less accessible than last week's episode despite being far more tradition in its storytelling structure, due in large part to the degree to which all three storylines built on issues raised in earlier episodes. He's of the opinion that Community does high-concept better than it does more traditional character-driven episodes, but that this one was an exception, because of the way it embraced and referenced its own history.
- HitFix's Alan Sepinwall, writing from an underwater hotel in Dubai, thinks "Digital Exploration of Interior Design" might have played better if "Contemporary Impressionists" had been seen in its original production order, which is to say with "Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts" separating them. "The stories weren't quite the same as last week … but the core emotional issues were close enough—and, more importantly, was the second episode in a row to feel lighter on overall laughs—that a lot of that material never really clicked." That said, he loved the Britta/Subway storyline, calling it "marvelous on several levels" and "the latest bit of evidence in Gillian Jacobs' campaign for season 3 MVP." Overall, though, it was his least favorite post-hiatus episode.
- Matt Richenthal of TV Fanatic gave the episode 4½ stars out of 5. He congratulated SUBWAY® for allowing the show to taking product placement "to a new, absurd, hilarious level," and called that storyline his favorite of the three. He thought the Jeff/Annie story was nothing special, but he liked that the show hasn't forgotten about their make-out session back at the end of season one. With regard to Troy and Abed's story, he gives the writers credit "for actually evolving this friendship" instead of just maintaining the status quo.
- Robert Canning of IGN TV gave the episode a rating of 8.5 of 10. He thought the way the episode handled the SUBWAY® product placement brilliantly. By portraying SUBWAY® as Subway, it allowed for a legitimate story-driven reason for a character to yell, "I love you, Subway!" He also liked how the Troy/Abed storyline "adds a necessary new dynamic to the relationship" between the two. But he thought the Jeff/Annie story was "just a bit of filler."
- Luke Gelineau of TV Equals said "Digital Exploration of Interior Design" was "the funniest episode since the hiatus." With regard to the product placement, he thought the writers "really made it fit well in the overall tone of Community, and even said he'd welcome even more product placement if it was all done so well. He liked Britta's storyline, because he likes seeing Britta feel conflicted in her beliefs, which he says is "a nice way to offset how irritating her feelings can be in the first place." What he liked most about the Troy and Abed storyline was they way it set up what he assumes with be one of Community's "truly fantastic 'event' episodes." And he thought Jeff and Annie's story was stupid.
- The Head Geek at Geek Furious gave the episode 95 out of 100. "The surprisingly subversive nature of the SUBWAY® story line really elevated the quality of this episode for me." He also liked Troy and Abed's story, describing it as "a deep and interesting reflection of the strength of friendship versus the need for individuals to declare themselves."
- Andrew Lumby of The Filtered Lens says that with "Digital Exploration of Interior Design," Community is "looking exciting again." He was happy to see that the "random, arbitrary graphics that plagued the last couple of episodes" were absent this week, and thought that Troy and Abed's storyline was "done superbly in this episode," which is something of a turnaround for him because he complained last week that their story was getting too dramatic. He gave it a rating of 9 out of 10.
- Ethan Alter writes in Television Without Pity's Telefile blog that the "third time proved to be the charm," getting the show "back on track" after the first two post-hiatus episode, which left him "mildly disappointed," with an episode that struck "the right blend of broad comedy with a light touch of tragedy." He was so taken with the concept of corpo-humanization that he assigned corporate identities to each member of the study group, which you should definitely check out.
- I'll wrap this up by looking at the character grades Kelley Locke of Character Grades gave the characters. Troy and Abed earned a B; the duo of Pierce & Shirley and Britta both got a B-plus; Jeff and Annie—a pairing she admits she needs explained to her, so you milady_milord members should get on that—got a B-minus.
In ratings news, the return of The Big Bang Theory after two weeks of NCAA basketball did not affect Community's ratings in the slightest. "Digital Exploration of Interior Design" pulled a 1.7 in the 18-49 demo, and was once again the most watched NBC show of the evening. (The Office was a repeat.)
As always, please post reviews I didn't round up in the comments!

Portland is such a unique city and I think it's pretty special that you got engaged not in your town. That way, you'll always have that place to return to for anniversaries and special occasions. :) My husband and I have been married for just over a year, but we intend to visit our engagement spot once a year around the holidays (which is the time of year we were engaged).
Congrats again! Enjoy being engaged - it goes too fast!

Even with $28.00 in shipping its a better deal.
Dam good deal but how are they justifying the shipping? That's nuts. Why don't they switch it up and charge $6 for the drive and $90 for the shipping? That would make as much sense.

I don't know about "flash drives," but I am running mine with a 500 GB external hard drive.
Hey guys, I'm rocking a Sony CDX-GT420U http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=sony+CDX-GT420U with a usb port in my car.. I'm currently using an 8gb and it works fine... However, I'm worried that the deck won't have enough power to power this drive.
I've googled, and one of the site previews that comes up in the results lists suggests this, the dude says he can only use 1/3 of the space, but the link doesn't go to the actual page discussing it. Otherwise, I see nothing online about it.
I also read that long post about USB power earlier in the thread, but it might as well have been in Swahili to me. So my question is, does anyone know if my deck can power this?
I bought this drive from another retailer for 50% more than what this is selling for (always happens to me). It is a very solid performing drive and has no problem streaming anything, and works great in my car's usb port.
This was a replacement for a counterfeit Kingston 128GB I bought on eBay for $68.99.
Just as a warning - DO NOT BUY THESE ON EBAY! They are low level formatted to look like a high capacity drive but are not. I'm still trying to get my money back.

Seems like every time somebody brings up anything related to storage or RAM, somebody's got to start the wave of 'MAN REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TOILETS AS HARD-DRIVES; MAN THEY ONLY HAD LIKE 3KB MEMORY BACK THEN AND GRANNIE WAS THE GRAPHICS CARD. COULDN'T REALLY PLAY MUCH ON HER BUT PONG AND ANY OVERCLOCKING AT ALL WOULD MAKE THE THING WHINE LIKE CRAZY.'
As for this kind of comment, all I can say is just wait a few years and you will be the same way!
By the way, it was OUR generation that created the technology of today and our parents & grandparents generations who pulled off a few miracles like atomic energy, the proximity fuse, jet transports, going to the Moon, microwaves...
So poke fun at the good old days all you want, but work to top it, instead of just using it!

I've seen this picture before and wondered what purpose the wheel served. How do you know this is a console from a 688 class Sub? I'm not disputing you, just curious.

And then that was normal. I still have it.
Yea.....Im getting old!
Yeah- that's enough of all this "I'm getting old" stuff, especially from kids who think their 486 or early pentium machines were 'roughing it.' If your first computer had a hard drive in it at all, you aren't that old. If your first hard drive was over 20MB, you aren't that old. If you upgraded to a 286 at one point for the BLAZING SPEED, you might have a claim to be somewhat old. Good grief, I used punch cards for storage and I barely consider myself old yet.
what is the purpose of such a beast?
Im honestly curious.

I had an Iron Key go belly up on a day that I had a critical 10 page (single spaced) legal document due. The doc was forever lost. For what Iron Keys cost, that should not happen.

What you're looking at is a mock-up of a typical submarine maneuvering room, including the reactor plant control panel, electrical plant control panel, and steam plant control panel.
While I cannot say with any authority whether this is what a 688 class maneuvering room looked like (without the TV, of course), it is most certainly what we had on the USS Sturgeon, SSN-637 (and while they may not be identical, the 688 class would be at least very similar). I was aboard, and was a nuclear power plant operator, back in the days when 640 KILObytes was still all anyone would ever need (according to Bill Gates).
Oh, and for reminiscing on RAM, my first computer had 8K of RAM. And a cassette tape recorder.

It should. I currently have a 320 GB external hard drive hooked up to my Wii and it works perfectly. Whatever is used for external storage (thumb drive/external hard drive) has to be formatted FAT32, though.
Homebrew boots from the SD slot on the front of the Wii, not the USB port.
The Wii supports flash drives of any size, thay just have to be formatted to WBFS.
I turn 29 next month and I remember my first computer my parents got for the house had a HUGE hard drive.... 80 MEGAbytes! with a whopping 25mhz 386 processor, with the auxiliary math co-processor. when they finally came out with the Ghz processor and Gigabyte hard drive my dad said why would you ever need that kind of speed or that much storage space, waste of money! My first thumb drive was sandisk 512mb that i paid about $40 for back in 2002 or 2003. my we have come a long way! I guess I should say something about the product for sale here too... I cant speak for other car stereos but if you have a Ford with SYNC then a USB drive is awesome. just copy over all your itunes music and playlists and plug it in, frees up your ipod for other uses and will still work with SYNC voice commands.

it's very slow.
That said, it's the cheapest I've seen a 32gb thumb drive, I've been watching them for quite awhile now.
My first thumb drive was a 32mb that I paid $125 for, I'm waiting and watching for a fast 32gb drive to drop under $50 shipped. Sadly this isn't it, too slow for me.

The department doesn't exist any more, our PCs were soon afterwards wiped out in the Big Bang.
8088 not the 8086?

20 GB for $300?? My first home hard drive I bought was 600 for a 5 MB. Yes, 5 MB. The drive came in a box the size of a footlocker. The year - 1984
Another mind-boggler for me:
"SanDisk announced a new 32-GB microSDHC card"
Paul Simon summed it up well in 1986 - Album "Graceland"
The Boy in the Bubble
It was a slow day,
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road,
There was a bright light,
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio,
These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby don't cry
Don't cry,
It was a dry wind,
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth,
And the dead sand,
Falling on the children
The mothers and the fathers
And the automatic earth,
These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all o-yeah,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby don't cry
Don't cry
It's a turn-around jump shot
It's everybody jump start
It's, every generation throws a hero up the pop charts,
Medicine is magical and magical is art think of
The Boy in the Bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart
And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle,
Lasers in the jungle somewhere,
Staccato signals of constant information,
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires and baby,
These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all o-yeah,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby don't cry
Don't cry don't cry
Don't forget that Woot! uses smartpost. For little stuff like this, they charge the standard $5 shipping, but smartpost will take 3 weeks to get it to you (Example: Kingston 2GB MicroSD Card with Adapter – 2 Pack and Dane-Elec 2GB SD Card both took 3 weeks). Whereas two first class stamps would get it to you in 3 days.
Yeah that's a pretty good deal. I'm in baby! I'm in! I ordered one!
As long as we're waxing ...
I remember having my 48K Apple 2+ (who needs more then 48K we thought) competitor of the Commodore and arch enemy of the Trash 80 and using a hole punch to double the size of my floppy disks. In the day, we were cutting edge. Now, I just look forward to Wednesdays which is ice cream day at the home.
Two-hundredths of a cent is a very small amount.

I can buy a sandisk 32gb drive on ebay for 15 bucks with free shipping..
I know this is kingston but sandisk and kingston are about the same quality.
Sorry if this was already noted (too lazy to read all posts), but this thing is $70 on Newegg right now. $45 shipped seems like a steal to me. Especially with the lifetime warranty. Cheapest 32gb drive on Newegg is a Ridata for $57, with only a 2 year warranty. Sold!

Keep in mind that:

... is still considered an EPIC WIN in most troll circles.
I don't remember how much I paid for this, but I had a 20mb full 5 1/4 bay (4X the thickness of todays 3.5" drives) hard drive that must have weighed 15 pounds.

When you get it, make sure you try to actually fill it up. Most of these "too good to be true" deals are just smaller drives that have their firmware modified to show as the larger capacity. Once you exceed their true capacity, though, they'll just fail. Flash prices just haven't been falling low enough recently to make me think that you can actually get 32GB for $20, even 16GB at that price would be a good deal.

Oh, yes! The memory expansion boards we had to install in order to access the memory address space above 1024 KB - can't remember what they cost but they were the biggest cards I've ever used.

Atlanta Integrated Beverage Group on Tuesday introduced its latest innovation at the ECRM Vitamin, Diet & Sports Nutrition conference — the Zapp Cap Energy Release Cap, a cap containing a powdered dietary supplement that fits onto the top of any half-liter bottle of water. The cap delivery system gives consumers control over the freshness of their beverage, the company stated, and might be a little fun to boot. Consumers "activate" their energy drink by pushing on the top of the cap, which punches the powder into the beverage.
The initial launch includes two formulations, both with 35 mg of caffeine. The first is an energy supplement that also contains several vitamins, including vitamins C, E and B in a goji berry flavor. The second is energy and weight control formulation that in addition to the vitamins contains Super Citrimax and ChromMate, two ingredients that help curb appetite, in an acai berry flavor.
Both formulations are sugar free, contain no net carbs and only add four calories to the consumers bottled water of choice. Integrated Beverage has both a counter display and clip strip program to display the new product. Suggested retail price is $2.49.

Another good day for David Cameron, with capital to be made from the postal dispute and a poll putting him 17 points ahead. Does he know that as he reaches for the stars, others are reaching for the moon? This was David Tredinnick , Tory MP for Bosworth, in the Commons a few days ago suggesting that the government might investigate homeopathy, astrology and other alternative treatments. "In 2001 I raised in the house the influence of the moon, on the basis of the evidence then that at certain phases of the moon there are more accidents. Surgeons will not operate because blood clotting is not effective and the police have to put more people on the street. I am arguing for more research." Well, it wasn't scientific, but when we contacted them, the Royal College of Surgeons fell about laughing; and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said darkness causes more accidents but that's about it. As for the Association of Chief Police Officers, its members shy away from lunar influenced law enforcement. Don't they know Britain is broken as well as sick?
Yes, Cameron is riding high. Indeed, one notes that those problems he has emerge not in the wider world but closer to his constituency in Oxfordshire. Central Office was forced to sort out the Oxford University Conservative Association after members were encouraged to tell racist jokes. And this week, given the choice of arguments forwarded by Eurosceptic Bill Cash or Edward McMillian-Scott, Cameron's public enemy No 1 in Europe, the Oxford Union plumped for the heretic.
So a trying time for Mark Thompson and the BBC, ahead of tonight's Question Time clash of the titans. But here's a bit of good news for the director general and the beleaguered BBC Trust. Many have criticised the decision to offer a platform to Nick Griffin, with cries of betrayal and threats of legal action. But for what it is worth, Ben Bradshaw, the culture secretary, agrees with the BBC this time. And surprisingly there will be no outcry from the corporation's black and Asian staff, at least those involved in the group that tries to represent minority concerns at the corporation. They've had a talk and decided that the invitation is a good thing. "Management have got it right. Shine a light on Griffin," said a source. "Strip away the mystery." A united front or the calm before the storm? We'll see.
The evidence piles up to support the contention that fame just isn't all it is cracked up to be. "I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted," was the famous lament of late George Best. Terry Brooks, the first Milky Bar Kid, tells Yours magazine that he did no better. "I managed to blow all the cash – about £700 with royalties included – a week after my 18th birthday on a motorbike and a secondhand Lotus Elan," says Terry, now 68 and relaxing in Murcia, after stints as an ice-rink attendant and a builder. Even the good days, when he was the star of the show and had all the Milky Bars he could eat weren't that good in hindsight. "At first I couldn't get enough of them - but by the time I was 14 or 15, I couldn't bear the taste and had to spit it out into a bucket." The elation, the fame – and then the bucket. That's showbiz.
Finally, to the Frieze art fair in central London, where a tall, distinguished figure is admiring the various creations. His eye is fixed upon Andreas Gursky's James Bond Island II, a montage of a number of fabulously lush, tropical islands, in what appears to be the Far East. The work is striking, seductive; the man is wistful. "It makes me want to go there," he confides to the scribe from the Art newspaper; and some wonder whether the business secretary should not have had his fill of exotic holidays by now. Surely they only bring trouble? But then he is Mandelson. Peter Mandelson. A fighter not a quitter. Shaken, never stirred.

April 4, 2014
BATON ROUGE, La. - With her first win of the spring season, junior Caitlyn Williams captured the match point in the University of Tennessee women's tennis team's 4-3 victory at LSU Friday night.
Williams, who started the first set off slowly forcing a tiebreak situation, won the tie break and turned on the engines to reel off a 7-6 (5), 6-2 victory to give the Lady Vols their 10th win of the year.
The Lady Vols improve to 10-10 on the year with the win, 4-6 in SEC action while LSU drops to 10-11 in 2014 and 2-9 in conference play.
The Lady Vols started the match off with a 1-0 lead after capturing the doubles point for just the second time in SEC play and the first time on the road in conference action. UT got on the board first for the sixth time this season.
Williams and Joanna Henderson combined for their 10th victory of the year, and the first of the day for the Lady Vols, with an 8-2 win on court one over Noel Scott and Ariel Morton. Brittany Lindl and Victoria Olivarez sealed the deal on court three with a, 8-6 victory, their first together as a doubles pair. Eve Repic and Laurence Guevremont were up 7-6 on court two when play was halted.
Repic extended Tennessee's lead to 2-0 when she took down No. 88 Joana Vale Costa 6-3, 6-2. The nation's 94th ranked player, Repic, earned her seventh win over a ranked opponent this season.
But as soon as the Lady Vols extended their lead, LSU took it away as Tennessee fell on courts six (6-3, 6-3), three (6-1, 6-3) and four (6-2, 6-1) to take a 3-2 match lead.
Lindl evened things out for Tennessee, coming back from a 5-6 deficit in the first set to win the tiebreak and taking off for the 7-6 (4), 6-2 victory.
It all came down to Williams and the junior didn't disappoint, turning on the jets at the right moment and capturing the win for UT.
The Lady Vols are back in action on Sunday afternoon when they head to Fayetteville, Ark. for a 1 p.m. meeting with the Razorbacks.

b.z. niditch | improvisation no. 4
Painting by Stuart Davis | The Mellow Pad (1945-51)
The yellow red juices
seen as uppers
before a performance
with abnegated improvisation
depending on
a solitary sax
to settle
in Manhattan jazz's
speak easy language
a guy in a beret
drifts in
connecting the abstract
with floating notes
rehearsed in his unreality
sitting by the piano
playing out "body and soul"
needing to chill on oxygen
and to have my shoulders
toned to tune up
from the neck down
loose from a hard message
in a madhouse
of free hands
on the drinking beds
and exhaled from dusty corners
of the Village's dark rooms
as my thoughts write
on memory grams
recalling being a bit high
on hot nights in Soho bars
my red eyelids open
all my nerve endings
of shaky documentation
as in the Stuart Davis
sizzling abstract
"Mellow Pad"
with its raunchy colors
of earth-wise
water lined beats
begins in discovery
stealing our glances
when no one else
effaces our moments
of dazzling phantasms
waiting here to riff
in indifferent company
and we all love
without thinking out loud
gazing at the metro visages
among a faulty time
when an adolescent
shyly asks for a straw
to gurgle on a shake.

Strangle me, snuff me, and make me bleed are some of the requests I have gotten recently from my slaves and new callers requesting Snuff Phone Sex. Whether it be the snuff of your worthless cock, the snuff of a tight little cunt that I have brought to you for enjoyment, or even the snuff of my sexy and lifeless body, I want us both to experience it tonight. Ms. Starla loves to enjoy the kinky side of deviance and getting exactly what she wants from every man that she speaks to. Tonight my dominant side has come out to play and I am ready for the real satisfaction in going all the way with that cock and my desires. Even if you are not a submissive, even if you are a no limits pedo and you want to hear how my mind works when it comes to a tight little preteen being impaled on your cock, that just makes it sexy for me. Call me and lets talk about my no limits Snuff Phone Sex and how amazing it would be to Snuff Fuck!
Call Sinful, Sexy, Starla… 1-877-683-6999

Compliance requirements will vary, depending upon whether a company is trying to address the needs of Sarbanes-Oxley or HIPAA. Yet despite the differences, companies can adhere to a number of best practices to make compliance part of their overall business processes.
1. Take stock of your information technology infrastructure, with eye towards security. Does your firm have network protections in place, including the ability to track security incidents or protect your systems against viruses and malware? Knowing where you stand on these fronts will provide a starting point to make the necessary changes.
2. Create and enforce an email policy. This includes directing employees in proper use of email, but also in establishing guidelines on email archival.
3. Establish a business continuity game plan. Create procedures and implement backup and recovery systems so that business operations are minimally impacted in the event of a disruption and compliance standards can be maintained.
4. Focus on process, not a project. Don't attack compliance requirements as a one-off project, whether it's Sarbanes-Oxley or another regulation. The key is to build compliance requirements into the day-to-day processes of how you run your business.
5. Bring in the manpower. Compliance, particularly as it relates to corporate governance and risk, is a specialty area and most likely, one where businesses lack internal expertise. Make sure to bring in the appropriate skill sets to address compliance, whether it's creating a special office, hiring executives with that area of knowledge, or aligning with an outside consultanc

Interesting, more than a 1/3 of all white democrats and independents hold at least one negative adjective on blacks and are less likely to vote for Obama, and he cannot he win the election without them. The pollsters are trying to figure out why Obama is locked in a such a tight race when the nation is in such turmoil with the current republican administration.
Obama has near unaminous support from blacks. Is it likely these polls could have a lot higher margin of error due to what people say in the polls and what they do in the voting booth.

Of all the weirdo guitar-driven indie outfits the '90s spat out, few have been as stylistically singular and influential as post-hardcore group the Dismemberment Plan, whose game-changing Emergency & I emotively spoke to worldly malaise with the wonkiest of melodies and oddest of time signatures. Re-formed groups often have little to prove to overeager fans or to themselves. Fortunately, last year's reunion album, Uncanney Valley—an ambitious, weird and slightly out of time collection—demonstrated that the group still has something novel to offer.

text: They probably can't make the Dart faster than the stock Neon or Caliber SRT's in FWD form, because of weight. With that in mind, adding AWD makes sense; at least as an option. I mean turbo-ing the 2.4L has been on the plate for a while (most of you have seen me post the engine "sheet" from the 5-yr plan via Allpar). Whether that has changed or not, is the question. Will they shoe-horn in the Phoenix.. err.. Pentastar or not? who knows. I know that the Cherokee will use the 2.4L and the Pentastar engine. Will it fit the Dart while maintaining crash-regulations and other regulatory standards? Who knows. lol

June 21, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments
>Here is a letter to the Palm Beach Post:
Randy Schultz's counterpoint claims legalizing drugs in America would not end the violence on the Mexican border and fears an increase in drug usage. However, Mr. Schultz fails to take into account the successes of Portugal, where all drugs were decriminalized following years of rampant drug use, related deaths, and disease. The 2009 report shows the success Portugal experienced in the past decade with full decriminalization. While short term or experimental use of drugs increased, long-term rates of addiction dropped – with a populace increasingly willing to seek treatment programs, absent the stigma and potential prison time associated with drug use prior to decriminalization. Moreover, drug related mortality rates and newly reported cases of disease amongst addicts substantially declined since implementing the decriminalization policy. In fact, the report provides data showing "The total number of drug-related deaths has actually decreased from the pre-decriminalization year of 1999 (when it totaled close to 400) to 2006 (when the total was 290)."
Supposing legalization of drugs in America fails to eradicate 100% of the violence on the Mexican border, as Mr. Schultz claims, it will undoubtedly reduce it by significant levels. Shrinking violence from the status quo coupled with actual decreases in long-term addiction rates should be the goal of any new rational drug policy. Who could possibly argue with that?

"Charlie [Davies] had his mind made up," said Bedoya of his former Boston College teammate, who left college three years ago and passed up MLS to settle in Sweden with Hammarby. "He was set to go to Europe. He just knew he wanted to test the waters and he knew what it was like overseas when he went on trial with a couple of teams.
"The football over there is so different in terms of the fans and the stadiums and this and that. I'm hoping I can follow his path someday, leaving Sweden and going where there are bigger and better teams."
Davies and Bedoya got together again last week in Southern California, where the U.S. men's national team is beginning World Cup preparations with a three-week camp. Before he headed back to Delaware to continue the arduous rehabilitation from severe injuries suffered in a car accident nearly three months ago, Davies came by to visit his teammates and check in with a fellow former Eagle.
"When I'd go to Sweden, I'd go to see him and go out with him," says Bedoya, who played the 2009 Swedish league season with Orebro, a small city about a two-hour drive from Stockholm, where Davies lived before he left Hammarby for French club Sochaux last summer. "He was a good mentor for me over there. It's good to have guys you can look up to and ask for advice. They can keep you positive and keep you on track."
Like Davies, Bedoya chose Europe over MLS. He played 37 games for Boston College, scoring 14 goals and 15 assists, in his junior and senior seasons after playing his first two years at FDU. He earned first-team all-ACC selection both seasons and first-team All-America honors as a junior at BC before heading overseas.
And like Davies before him, he learned right away the learning in Europe is done on the field as well as off.
"The game over there -- in terms of game tempo, match tempo -- is soccer-smart," he says. "The pros know where to put themselves and where to give you the ball. It's not people just jumping up and being fast and athletic."
He trained with the U.S. U-23 team prior to the 2008 Olympic Games but wasn't selected by Coach Peter Nowak. A solid year in Europe brought him to Southern California as one of five Scandinavian players in Coach Bob Bradley's initial roster of 30.
Bedoya would like to think the possession-oriented style of play preached by former Orebro coach Sixten Bostrom can help his national-team aspirations, though a spot on the World Cup roster of 23 this summer is unlikely. During Bostrom's tenure, midfielder Bedoya describes Orebro playing in a 4-3-3 formation, with one holding midfielder and the other two designated as attackers.
"In college, I was more like a free roller in our 4-3-3 system," says Bedoya. "I could go wide a little bit or find some space in the middle, whatever. Now, though I don't have to learn a whole new system, because [Orebro] also play 4-3-3, but everything tactically: finding zones and reading plays on defense, and on offense, getting into the right spots.
"I don't have that free role, so I had to learn a lot of the positioning and stuff. That took a while to pick up, but once I established that, I could just work on my own game.
"There's no walking, and you have to be able to run with the ball, because as soon as you get it somebody is going to be on your butt. It took a little bit of time to get used to but as I got some games, the coach would bring me on as a sub and I was able to work my way into the lineup."
He scored both of his two goals during the season as a sub against Hacken, netting in the 83rd minute - just five minutes after entering the match -- and again in stoppage time.
He made 25 appearances as Orebro finished one place (sixth) and three points behind Hacken in the 16-team Allsvenskan.
Bostrom has departed as head coach and to replace him, Orebro hired former Swedish national team coach Lars Lagerback, whose nine years in charge ended last October when Sweden fell short of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup.
"Over there, they bleed, sweat and sleep football," he says. "It's easier for me to worry about my game rather than my friends or family or this or that. It made me mentally a lot stronger and capable of focusing on playing a good game of soccer.
"The atmosphere and everything is incredible, just like you see it on television. It's nice to be noticed and just get that feeling."

Friday was the day. Unfortunately, because I had to work late, my mom had to wait 24 hours to see George Clooney's ass. We should have waited forever. I guess I should mention that my mom sees all George Clooney films the day they open. She says it is her way of thanking him for making her life with my dad bearable. I choose to ignore what she means by that statement.
All week leading up to the film, people would ask what are you doing this weekend and I would say, "I'm taking my mom to see that new George Clooney, Brad Pitt film." They would invariably ask what it was called and for the life of me, all week I could not remember. I would say, "Read After Burning" or "Burning After Reading" or just tell them I couldn't remember and that it was the new Coen Brothers film.
For the record you should probably burn out your eyes before going to see the film. Or your ears. Actually your best bet is just to be deaf and blind and hope that your sight or hearing doesn't come back before the DVD comes out.
Oh, it all started out well enough. Mom and her flask and just humming that Facts Of Life song with a little grin on her face. Me? Straight to the bar. Surprisingly the Arclight bar was only half filled at 330 in the afternoon on a Saturday. Most people were having red wine, like they were kidding themselves it was the middle of the afternoon. I don't kid around, so just ordered whiskey and didn't give a crap. On the way into the film we saw Berta coming out. Sure, I know now her name is Conchata Ferrell, but you see the maid from Two And A Half Men, let me here you come out with her name. She looked miserable and depressed. Not a good sign. It was like she had wasted two hours of her life she would never get back. And this from a woman who works with Charlie Sheen.
Even in the middle of the afternoon, the place was almost full. Oh, sure everyone was excited when it began. Even some clapping. In fact, the previews were great. Milk and The Soloist look great. When the film started though, out of the first say 100 words of dialogue, the first 15 were f bombs. After about the 5th, it was old. The total for the film was somewhere in the 100 range. John Malkovich played the same damn character he always plays, just at a louder volume. Tilda Swinton was awful. She plays John's wife and is supposed to be having an affair with George Clooney. Well, there is no chemistry and her character actually seemed like she would never have sex, so I didn't understand it. George Clooney, was ok. Played a dumb ass, but he alternated between tough guy and moron, and it didn't work. Brad Pitt? He was funny as hell, BUT ONLY because it was Brad Pitt playing him and so you were laughing at that fact rather than the character. The character was stupid. Frances McDormand? Meh. She was ok. Probably the best of the bunch.
The only saving grace of the film were two bit parts that were in the film on two separate occasions. I told someone to rent the DVD, and then changed my mind and said, no because they would just turn it off. Unfortunately I couldn't get up and leave. The movies and George Clooney is like church to my mom. You don't get up until the end. But even mom, the woman who actually liked that Chuck Barris film he did, didn't like him in this. Plus there was no naked ass. Oh you should have seen mom squirming when George was taking a shower at one point, but no luck for her, and I'm sure none for dad that night.
Oh, I'm sure some of you saw it this weekend and will say, it was a combination of elements and there was weave or some kind of garbage like that. It sucked. Even the Coen Brothers are not perfect, and it sucked. All the clapping at the beginning of the film? Not so much at the end. None. Just some mumbling about what the hell they just watched and a lot of confused faces.

Injury Update:
There is no prognosis. The only guy right now that has had surgery is Christophe and we don't have any other injury to report.
Thoughts on potential expansion and FSU or Clemson leaving the league:
I haven't heard that and having been a part of this before on the other side, there is no sense commenting now until there are some factual things behind it. I don't have anything to say at this point.
I think you have to call Clemson and Florida State.
Thoughts on the true freshmen specialists:
We felt very comfortable... we've had kids come to camp, get to know them, and assess what we think is their abilities... all three of these kids came to our camp, they were all three guys that, in our opinions, were the first guys we wanted to recruit and sign. Not only because of their physical abilities, but also their mental makeup.
They have the right approach... it's important that we help them get off to a great start. I haven't seen anything to speak to me that we didn't make right choices in who these three kids are.
Is Niklas Sade similar to Steven Hauschka?
Steven Hauschka was a proven product when we got him. Can he be that way in four years? He might be better.
Is Tyler Brosius the backup quarterback?
Right now he's getting most of the snaps at backup. We test him each and every day at practice and certainly when we go to scrimmage situations. Plan B, when we put a depth chart together we'll have a Plan B.
How confident in him are you?
You'll have to ask me that question as we head into Liberty.
How different will the offense look with Mike Glennon at quarterback?
The thing we're assessing right now and working through is trying to find what his strengths are. Whatever his strengths are, the offense will take its cue from those strengths.
Notable Quotes:
"The defense is playing a lot faster at this point than they were a year ago because there is a lot of experience there right now."
"You look at the way they played the last five weeks of the season, that was pretty good defense."
"Audie is certainly the key figure there because he is the quarterback of the defense."
"The passing game is obviously something that we have to continue to work on. The problem is they are just one facet of it. You've got to protect, you've got to throw, and you've got to catch."
"What we haven't developed on offense is any sense of consistency."
"Too many dropped balls last night."
"They come in key situations where you've got to make catches to keep it going."
"The next scrimmage is all situational."
"The leading ground gainer against us the last five games was the quarterback at West Virginia."
"Where we're consistent on defense, we're not consistent on offense right now."
"We ran the ball better last night, so that's an encouraging thing for us... to get better against that run defense we've been playing against."
"We're not allowed to watch offseason [workouts] so don't get me in an NCAA violation."
"It may play out that way, but a lot of good football teams play that way."
"I don't think he gets flustered. I haven't seen that of him at all... he's done a good job that way. I don't think he's going to get upset by a lot of things out there. He's going to keep grinding it out."
"We're playing six guys. A lot of guys are repping. The four guys getting the most are Washington, Underwood, Creecy, and Barnes."
"I don't figure it out. They are goig to figure it out for me. It's what we see on the tape. Don't tell me you're going to be good, show me you are good."
"Nobody owns the jersey. NC State owns the jersey."
"[A.J. Ferguson] has been working in there a good amount. I think he had his most extensive work last night."
"He hasn't come to complain to me."
"I think they've done a good job so far. One of the things they've got to do is make sure they play. Being a captain is a good honor, but the best thing they can do is go out there and play at a high level."
"We'll know better in a couple of weeks as to if Duran will be able to make it for the opener or not."
"The three guys that have played a lot of football for us, Kuhn, Sweezy, and Rieskamp, are playing at a high level. Frandsen, Cato-Bishop, they are both fighting for that job there at the other end.
"Art Norman has done a nice job. He's one of the young kids like Ferguson... Brian Slay, he's been in games too."
"Norman and Frandsen are looking pretty good for us with what the are doing at end."
"Cato-Bishop was like the fifth end and fifth tackle so he's never really settled in at a position. It's better for him to settle in at that one end position which will help us. We don't need him to do those things now."
"I think he's excited about the opportunity and is looking forward to the challenge."
"The key is him making plays out there."
"That's another thing that has to be proven until you play a game."
"We're here to win them all, each and every game. That's successful here... that's what our goals are and that's not going to change."
"On the football team we certainly have more depth than we have in year's past. That's a positive thing."
"One year I praised our offensive line at Boston College, and we went to West Virginia and they crushed us."

The book is informative however it makes use of a web site run by the PACHUBE company which was bought by the COSM company which was bought by the LOGMEIN company which put at least part of the functionality in Xively.com. I am trying to communicate with Xively to see if they supply the support this book requires. Otherwise, none of the networking examples will work.

I have been keen on mountain biking since the late 1980s.
My first proper mountain bike was Marin Bear Valley that I had between 1989 and 1995. Following that in April 1995 I purchased a 19" Orange Vit T2 titanium hardtail. I kept the bike until August 2009 when it went to a new loving home via retrobike.co.uk.
The photos below are the Orange in Spring 2006 with most of the original parts still on it and then again in March 2007 after a number of upgrades:
2008 saw a major updating of my biking with the purchase of a Scott Spark Ltd. This is/was the world's lightest full suspension production mountain bike and it is a truly exceptional machine.
I've used the Spark to complete the South Downs Way in a day a number of times and it is the perfect bike for epic all-day summer rides.
For the first winter that I owned the Spark I rode it through all conditions. Mud clearnance is actually very good but the level of wear and tear on the top level components and the fact that all the pivot bearings have required replacing twice in two years makes it obvious that it is only sensible to think of the Spark as a summer race-only machine.
Therefore in August 2009 I purchased a Charge Duster Eight to use as a winter/training bike as it will hopefully require minimal maintenance.
The social network I started for riders in my local area is www.petersfieldmountainbikers.org.uk
My preferred choice of motorised transport is motorbike. I guess this is because I do not have the patience to sit in traffic and don't like to be dependant upon unreliable public transport. I passed my full motorcycle test in 1992 and have owned four different bikes since then. In April 2004 I passed the Institute of Advanced Motorists motorcycle test.
I currently own a 2005 BMW R 1200 GS — a large capacity touring/enduro bike built to be as good off-road as it is on road (GS stands for 'gelande/strasse' which translates as 'off-road/street').
The engine is the latest in the long-line of 'Boxer' opposed twins that BMW have used since 1923 (see specials.bmw-motorrad.com/com/en/fascination/history/history_main.html for the history of BMW motorcycles). This latest engine, one of the so-called "hex-head" series, has lots of low-down torque (85lbft or 115Nm) and a power output of 100bhp (at 7000rpm). The bike also benefits from comparatively low weight (199Kg), servo-assisted ABS brakes and BMW's unique approach to suspension.
I am interested in, but not that knowledgeable about, historic motorcycles. Museums that have interesting collections can be found on my 'Places to Visit' page.
In early August 2004 I spotted this collection of Indian motorcycles parked outside a local pub. I stopped and took the following shots but did not speak to the German owners. I have later been informed that the guys who rode these Indians are members of the German Indian Motorcycle Club – www.indianclub.de (site is in German) – and on their way to the international Indian Rally which took place in Britain that year. The styling of Indian motorcycles has long appealed to me and I have number of books on them, but before the day of seeing this collection I don't think I had ever seen one example 'in the flesh' so was quite surprised to spot twelve of them together. I really admired the fact that these bikes were being ridden overseas, were not 'over-restored' and were reliant on improvised luggage.
This museum, near New Milton in the New Forest contains an interesting collection of motorcycles. Many of the machines are from long-gone British manufacturers and all the bikes on display are immaculate.

Kris Straub is a webcartoonist and the creator of Checkerboard Nightmare, Starslip, Chainsawsuit, Broodhollow, and F Chords. He is also a co-founder of webcomics collectives Blank Label Comics and Halfpixel. Straub co-created the series Blamimation with Kris and Scott (an animated series) and Kris and Scott's Scott and Kris Show (a live-action comedy webseries) with Scott Kurtz. Both series air at Penny Arcade's PATV web video content imprint. He currently hosts the podcast 28 Plays Later alongside Paul Verhoeven.
Straub also manages and writes for the horror fiction site Ichor Falls, which is notable for the creepypasta Candle Cove.
Early life[edit]
Straub grew up in Los Angeles, and went on to attend and graduate from UCLA with a degree in Computer Science.
As a cartoonist[edit]
Straub launched his first comic, Checkerboard Nightmare, online in 2000. The strip was self-aware, using metahumour extensively, and the title character, Checkerboard Nightmare (Chex) being obsessed with gaining fame as a webcomic character and willing to do anything necessary to achieve it.[1] The setup of the strip does not change beyond 'Chex wants new readers and concocts a hare-brained scheme to get them', satirising the strict adherence to format exhibited by, for example, sitcoms. Its targets expanded as the strip progressed, and shifted from satirising webcomics to the search for fame in general with the move to Keenspot. Checkerboard Nightmare was originally hosted independently, it moved to Keenspot for a time, before becoming one of the founding comics of Blank Label Comics. During 2006, it appeared monthly on the webcomic news site Comixpedia.
In 2005 Straub began creating Starslip, a daily science fiction/comedy webcomic. Starslip Crisis was first set in the 3440s, aboard the starship IDS Fuseli, named after painter Henry Fuseli.[2] The Fuseli was a former luxury warship which has been converted into a starship museum. It is still capable of military activities. The Fuseli travelled from system to system with its exhibits (using a faster than light "starslip drive"), the comic chronicling the adventures of the crew. Much of the art featured upon the Fuseli dated from the 20th or 21st centuries.[3][4] Starslip Crisis was part of the webcomics cooperation collective Blank Label Comics,[5] until Straub split away from Blank Label to merge Starslip with his new collective, Halfpixel, in November 2007.[6]
The comic initially ran under the name Starshift Crisis. The nearly identical Starslip Crisis appeared early in the strip's run, with its own website and associated content, differing only in that the term "starslip" replaced "starshift". The two ran in parallel, until a strip in August 2005 which definitively ended the plot of Starshift Crisis, but which played out differently in Starslip Crisis. Reportedly the name change was caused by a legal issue.[7] On January 12, 2009, Straub rebooted the artwork and modified the name of the strip after a storyline where the Fuseli, the ship the comic is set on, escapes from a Universe destroyed by the Future. The series officially finished on June 15, 2012
chainsawsuit, formerly titled indie comic by kris straub, was launched in March 2008 as a parody of badly drawn gag-a-day strips. Straub soon renamed the comic after one of its recurring characters so that it could expand beyond mocking indie comics. It ran for a few months on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule, then began to update every weekday starting in August 2008. Its topics range from current events to pop culture. Recurring characters include Chainsawsuit, a man with a series of chainsaws strapped to his body for self-defense against zombies; Famous Chef, a caricature of Gordon Ramsay; Lazy Cat, an ultraviolent send-up of Garfield; Two Cops, a police officer who was accidentally enrolled in the academy twice and is regarded by all characters as two separate people; H. P. Wuvcraft, a cuddlier version of Lovecraft; master pickup artist Huntyr Chase; and Straub himself, who appears in some autobiographical comics.
2008 also saw the launch of F Chords which ran from July 29, 2008 to December 5 of the same year, ending along with its first story arc. Its main characters—Ash and Wade, two Austin-area studio musicians who also play in an unknown local band named "Soft Operation"—have gone on to make cameo appearances in both Starslip and chainsawsuit. In May 2011, F Chords was relaunched as a daily comic. Its setting has been relocated to Los Angeles, and follows Ash and Wade's continued efforts to popularize their band.
On September 26, 2012, Straub launched Broodhollow, a series set in a 1930s American town of the same name. It involves "all manner of ghost" and is somewhat based on Straub's own superstitions and fears of the paranormal. The series opens with Zane, a door-to-door salesperson for Encyclopedia Atlantica, traveling to Broodhollow after being notified that a distant relative had died months earlier. Broodhollow is a sister town of Ichor Falls.
Writer and producer[edit]
In December 2006, Straub was named co-writer and co-producer alongside Scott Kurtz on PvP: The Series, a series of animated shorts featuring the PvP characters. In 2007, to coincide with his move to Dallas, Straub repurposed the Halfpixel site to serve as a hub for his and Kurtz's joint creative projects. Halfpixel later expanded to include webcartoonists Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett of the comics Evil Inc. and Sheldon, respectively. The four published How To Make Webcomics through Image Comics in the first quarter of 2008. The book covers a variety of topics of interest for beginning and intermediate webcartoonists.[8]
Straub went on to co-produced Blamimation and the Kris and Scott's Scott and Kris Show for Penny Arcade TV. In 2012 ShiftyLook announced that Straub and Kurtz were co-producing a new animated series online, Mappy: The Beat, in which they also voice all the characters.[9]
Straub manages and writes for his own horror fiction website Ichor Falls, which features his most notable work of short fiction Candle Cove. Straub's original short story is in the form of a series of forum posts by people reminiscing about a children's show called Candle Cove. Although it seems at first to be a normal children's program, they gradually recall disturbing aspects of the program and a bizarre episode in particular, before discovering that Candle Cove was merely half an hour of TV static which the children believed was a program.[10]
Many people continue the meme by either posting details about the show or uploading videos to YouTube of static and claiming that they can see an episode of Candle Cove, with some users of YouTube even recreating the final episode, where the characters just scream randomly for nearly a minute. Candle Cove was adapted as the first season for the SyFy Channel series Channel Zero in 2016.
Podcast host[edit]
Straub has co-hosted numerous podcasts throughout his career, most of which center around the online comic industry, daily life, or comedy talk shows.
In 2005 while part of the comic collective Blank Label Comics Straub and Dave Kellett co-hosted the Blank Label Comics Podcast.[11] The podcast interviewed fellow webcomic creators about their comics and creative process. In 2007, leading up to the release of How To Make Webcomics, Straub alongside the books co authors Scott Kurtz, Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett produced the podcast Webcomics Weekly.[12] The show featured comic industry news, techniques and general advice on how to create and maintain a successful comic online. In this same time period Straub and Kurtz also produced two joint podcasts, The Kris and Scott Power Hour[13] and Daily Affirmation.[14]
From 2009 to 2012 Straub also hosted, along with David Malki, comedic internet radio talk show Tweet Me Harder. The show was recorded live and had the hosts interact with a Twitter feed of listeners' reactions to the broadcast, occasionally using comments as a springboard for their conversations. Currently Straub co-hosts Morning Rush with Mikey Neumann.[15]
