The music of Yusupov is not limited by genre classifications or cultural and ethnic idioms, but rather embraces and employs all styles and influences to create his own unique musical language both as a composer and a conductor. In his compositions, he makes use of both Western and Eastern musical traditions, including the use of musical sources from various ethnic communities. The breadth of his interest has not yet found any boundaries, as he combines specific cultural identities of various ethnic groups with the tools of modern Western music - one of his latest works is heavily influences by the Tango, while calling upon the soloist at one point to perform on the electric violin. With a strong devotion to timbre and color as important structural elements, Yusupov's writing includes both the use of exotic instruments and the creation of illusory ethnic sounds by employing instruments of the symphony orchestra. Beyond a composer and a conductor, Yusupov is a philosopher, whose compositional language gives rise to his own, unique musical world.
Benjamin Yusupov was born in Tajikistan in 1962 and studied piano, composition, music theory, and conducting at the Tchaikovsky State Conservatory in Moscow. His compositions were being performed at various Festivals in the Soviet Union, and in 1989 he was awarded the Soviet Union Composers Association Prize. Shortly after, Yusupov moved to Israel where his orchestral piece "Gabriel" was performed at the opening of "Gabriel House" at the Jordan Valley in April 1993 by the Jerusalem Music Academy Orchestra. The work was received with such tremendous enthusiasm that within a year the same piece was being performed by the celebrated Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra.
Yusupov is regarded as a prized contributor to the world's classical music stage. Making his home in Israel, he is considered a vital part of the country's musical life, collaborating both as a composer and a conductor with all the major Israeli orchestras - Israel Philharmonic, Jerusalem Symphony, The Israeli Symphony Orchestra Rishon-Lezion, Haifa Symphony, Israel Chamber Orchestra, and the Tel-Aviv Soloists – and has been presented twice with the esteemed Israeli Prime Minister Prize (1999, 2008) and the prestigious Clone Prize of the Israeli Composers' League. His Violin Concerto, which was premiered by the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra at the Israel Music Days 2001 Festival under the composer's baton, was awarded the ACUM Prize for best Israeli

Discover the interactive and traditional museums and exhibit spaces the American Museum of Natural History, Frick Collection and Hayden Planetarium.

A: Usually when readers ask a question like this, I often fill out a NAIC Stock Selection Guide. This investment template helps investors see how a stock fits in its historical valuation range by using prudent growth forecasts and analyzing the company's past profits.
Unfortunately, this does not work with Sirius (SIRI). Being a new company that has made heavy capital investments, Sirius has yet to post a profit. That string of losses makes it impossible to perform a traditional valuation on the company.
So, as investors did in the 1990s with money-losing dot-coms, investors are forced to look at operational measures such as the number of subscribers or revenue. Standard & Poor's has done much of this work in an excellent report released on February 2, when it gave the company a "hold" rating.
Here's what we know. S&P thinks Sirius will add 1.4 million customers in 2005 and hit 2.5 million. That number will double to 5.5 million in 2006, S&P says. In addition, S&P thinks subscriber acquisition costs will fall to $145 in 2005 from $177 in 2004.
Sounds great, right? So, why the hold rating? First of all, S&P forecasts the company to lose 58 cents a share in 2006, which is even deeper than the 49 cents a share loss in 2005.
But most importantly, S&P says the company's stock price at the time ($5.66) already more than reflected all the good news. S&P's analysis proved correct: the stock had since flatlined to the low $5 range.

Patient Opinion: The faces behind the stories
We wanted to bring to life how people's stories on Patient Opinion are helping to improve services, and motivate NHS staff. Our hope was that meeting the people behind the stories will inspire people to share their story too.
So, we travelled the country, meeting the people behind some of the great stories we get everyday on Patient Opinion. We met all sorts of people, wonderful people, who've generously shared their stories on Patient Opinion. It was our pleasure to hear more about why they shared their stories with us and the NHS, and what's happened since.
Here are some of the people we met. We will be adding others over time.

text: LOD, Israel, Oct. 25, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AudioCodes (Nasdaq:AUDC), a leading provider of Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies and Voice Network products, in collaboration with MailVision, a provider of SIP Mobile Platforms for Wireless and NGN Service Providers, today announced that Nexus Telecom, a Brazilian CLEC and VoIP operator, has selected AudioCodes' VoIP Mobile Access Solutions (VMAS) technology to support the deployment of new mobile SIP applications, targeting millions of subscribers both internal and external to Brazil. The VMAS platform and client enable Nexus Telecom to provide services for its business, residential and roaming subscribers who are now able to initiate voice calls and send text messages (SMS) over any WiFi or 3G data connection, using a variety of mobile smart phones in HD VoIP quality and at highly cost-effective rates. The Mobile SIP Client is interoperable with all major SIP Softswitches and Gateways. "We are pleased that Nexus Telecom Brazil selected the HD VoIP enabled SIP Mobile Client (VMAS) as a new service offering for their subscriber base," stated Lior Aldema, Chief Operating Officer at AudioCodes. "This advanced technology will enable the Brazilian CLEC to offer cost-effective rates, and enhanced voice clarity. Nexus Telecom, like many other VoIP operators, will now have the ability to retain the loyalty of their subscribers and win new customers by allowing them to enjoy a continuous 'Single Number' service when at home, 'on-the-go' or in the office."

With all that we knew about Assassin's Creed III before its release – that Connor was the main star – it at first seems odd to play as Kenway through the first four-or-so hours. But a fantastic swerve at that point almost makes up for the slow start. The payoff as to why we spent so much time with this seemingly incidental character also comes later.
The feature that doesn't pay off at all here is the game's absolute flurry of cutscenes, which have the adverse effect of pulling you out of the game world. The surfeit of these cinematics is a borderline tragedy, given how incredible the world is. There's just way too many of them. Seriously, there's one for everything. Investigating that animal poop while hunting? Cue the cutscene. Opening a door? Cue the cutscene. Having a conversation? That naturally cues what is often a long cutscene. The overall effect is damning – it often feels like you, the player, are just the vehicle that gets the game from one cinematic to the other. They pull you away from that amazing world far too frequently and for far too long.
That's not to say Assassin's Creed III isn't fun at all. Indeed, it works best when it lets players rip. The franchise's key pillar has always been the ability to free run, although this has been limited to rooftops and buildings in previous games. The latest instalment expands this to the natural world. It is exhilarating to see Connor run at top speeds through the treetops. If the player only exists in this game to kick off cutscenes, at least getting to them is fun.
The main campaign's fights are a hoot. As a highly skilled assassin armed with a tomahawk and dagger, Connor proves to be an unstoppable force in combat. At first, the natural instinct when seeing a group of 20 red coats heading your way with bayonets might be to run. But with the smooth Batman Arkham style combat at play, where button timing kicks off Connor's amazing counter-moves, you soon learn that Connor can take on virtually any number of enemies and prevail.
Assassin's Creed III also introduces naval battles to the franchise. It seems strange and out of place at first, but the sequences are actually some of the most enjoyable parts of the game. The roiling seas, the frantic yelling of crewmen, the urgency of firing your cannons at enemy ships at precisely the right time – it's amazingly well done.
Another to enjoy the pure action of the game is through online multiplayer. This excellent mode is pretty much the same as it was in the past few releases, and it subtly asks those same existential questions by requiring players to guess who among them is human and who is a computer AI. Rather than the fast-moving kill-fest found in most multiplayer games, this mode slows things down and inspires angst rather than adrenalin.
The new Wolf Pack mode, which has players co-operatively hunt down computer-controlled targets, is also a nice touch. Up to four players look for targets amid crowds, with the clock extending each time one is found and nailed. It's even more cerebral fun.
Much of the rest of main campaign, however, isn't quite so nail-biting. Connor can engage in numerous side missions, some of which upgrade the Davenport homestead, as well as search for collectibles, buy weapons and equipment, send apprentice assassins on their own unseen missions, go hunting and send trade convoys.
None of it has anything but a cosmetic effect on the main story, with the possible exception of building up money that can be spent on expensive upgrades to Connor's ship. With more cannons or a better keel, the naval missions – only two of which are integral to the story – are easier to pull off. Otherwise, there isn't much reason to engage in any of the optional stuff. I got through the game without buying a single weapon upgrade.Report Typo/Error

Lymph Gland Swollen
If my lymph glands swollen in the pelvic area, should I push it out or leave it. I was squishing all my cellulite out of my stomach the day i noticed?
Lymph nodes: Don't push on it. Your lymph nodes help fight off infection in your body. They may be swollen due to whatever you were doing to your abdomen.

Not likely: Even with widespread metastases all the lymph nodes may not be swollen. ...Read more
Why do lymph glands become swollen?
Infection, cancer: Lymph nodes swell when they 'catch' a virus or bacteria. Immune cells multiply to fight the infx, causing swelling of the node(s). U can have 1 swell without other symptoms of illness. If it persists > 2-3 wks, get checked out. If a node is painful, it's more likely due to infx than something like cancer. The nodes 'catch' cancer cells that multiply & enlarge the ever-growing nodes. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer

My lymph gland is swollen up big on the left side, and the gum back by my left wisdom tooth is swollen big too, what could this be?
Pericornitis: It sounds like an infection ( called pericornitis) that occurs usually by the wisdom teeth.

Make sure you see your dentist. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
I had my neck lymph nodes/glands swollen and sore neck/shoulders for 5 weeks, with phlegm coming up. It's not strep or mono. Is that symptoms of HIV?

AMOSSHE Executive Member Pete Quinn, who was previously Director of Student Support at University of York, was elected to the Executive role in July 2016 for one year because Fay Sherrington changed her role to become AMOSSHE Vice Chair. Pete is now pursuing consultancy work, so the role becomes available for a representative of an AMOSSHE member organisation. The entire AMOSSHE team extends their thanks to Pete for his work with AMOSSHE during this academic year, and wish him well for his future in the higher education sector.
The AMOSSHE Executive Committee has consulted the list of candidates who members voted for in June 2016, to find the unelected person with the most votes to take Pete's place as Executive Member for the remainder of the 2016/17 academic year. AMOSSHE is delighted to welcome Jill Stevenson, Head of Student Support Service at University of Stirling, as the new Executive Member.
Here's the statement Jill made when nominating to join the AMOSSHE Executive:
As Head of Student Support Services at the University of Stirling, I am privileged to have the opportunity to make transformational changes that make tangible differences to the lives of our students. I would be delighted to extend this impact across the sector as a member of the AMOSSHE Executive. I believe that I can contribute a unique combination of energy, drive, and a fresh perspective, coupled with an extensive knowledge and understanding of the student support and equality and diversity agendas.
I recently led a significant restructure of Student Support Services at Stirling, resulting in the creation of an increasingly integrated, resilient and student-focused service. At the heart of this initiative is a desire to optimise the student experience through the provision of adaptable, accessible and well-promoted services, delivered by a customer-focused team of the highest calibre.
I am deeply committed to creating a shared culture of accessibility, inclusion and respect for diversity. I consider the development of strong partnerships – internally and externally within and outwith the higher education sector – as pivotal to this ambition. This vision, coupled with the ever-increasing demand for all our services, requires universities to share knowledge, expertise and resources to develop impactful and innovative initiatives that not only enable students to achieve their potential at university, but also equip them with the resilience and life skills to become confident and employable graduates.
As a member of the AMOSSHE Executive, I would seek to foster effective collaborations, and create a sound evidence base that convincingly demonstrates the impact of Student Services to policy-makers and funders. I'm excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with and represent my sectoral colleagues in pursuit of our shared ambitions to enhance the lives of our students.

Shopping while Black is a phenomenon that can only be explained by those of us who have to do it regularly. Sometimes those experiences turn into funny stories for us to share later. Yet, at other times, they end in humiliation and tears as Black people are unfairly targeted by store associates, managers, and security guards simply because of the color of their skin.
This was the case for a Black woman named Kimberly Houzah when she recently visited a Victoria's Secret store at the Quintard Mall in Oxford, Alabama.

AJ Ranks the UK's 100 Top Architecture Practices
Foster + Partners has been named the UK's biggest architecture practice for the third year running in the annual AJ100 run by the Architects' Journal. The list of the top 100 architecture practices in the UK, based on the number of fully qualified architects employed, was announced at an awards ceremony last night in London.
In the past year Foster + Partners has almost doubled its lead at the top of the list, with its 290 architects putting it 87 ahead of second-place rival BDP, showing how the practice dominates the architecture world not just culturally, but also in terms of business size.

It only increases security.On 2008-07-03, 15:42 GMT, Mike Chambers wrote:They get a little question stating this program wants to run, do you give it permission.And yes, that's the reason why Vista is still totally broken security-wise.

Sometimes I get this Whitmanesque vision of America. But instead of wheat fields and mighty cities and deep lakes stretching from sea to sea, I imagine a vast number of coffee shops. And in these coffee shops, urgent conversations are taking place. Here's Mickey Rourke in Baltimore, talking with Kevin Bacon in "Diner." And Quentin Tarantino, on Santa Monica Boulevard, writing down ideas for "Pulp Fiction." And Andy Garcia, in Denver, rehearsing for "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead." And Pacino and De Niro, out near the LA airport, acting in their first scene together in "Heat." And Marc Andreesson, in Urbana, inventing a surfer for the World Wide Web...
I doubt if there ever will be a movie named "Netscape 3.0," but no matter; the new American frontier is the all-night diner, with Formica tops and ketchup and sugar on every table, and a waitress who writes down your order on a green and white Guest Check. And in these coffee shops, which reach out like an endless progression of stops on the highway to fame, there are countless young men like the heroes of "Swingers," who are so near to stardom they can reach out and touch it, and so far away they can't afford to pick up the check. "Swingers" is about a loosely knit group of friends who hang out in Hollywood and hope to make it big in the entertainment industry. "The hottest 1 percent of guys from all over the world come to our gene pool," they assure one another, although that gives them better prospects for reproduction than success. One of the guys, named Trent (Vince Vaughn), uses the word "money" as an adjective: "That's really money. They'll see how money you are." This is inspired, since in Hollywood absolutely everything comes down to money. Intelligence, beauty, talent and fame go through a kind of universal currency exchange, and come out converted into money, less 15 percent.
The film's hero is Mike (Jon Favreau), who wants to be a stand-up comic but has no job prospects. A friend is weighing an offer to play Goofy at Disneyland ("Hey, at least it's Disney," Trent observes). Mike mopes about Michelle, the girlfriend he left behind back East, and Trent spends long hours with him in the coffee shop of a Best Western, advising him that you cannot get a woman to come back unless you're willing to forget her, after which, of course, you don't care if she comes back.
The movie follows Mike, Trent and a shifting cast of friends through several days, during which they drive through the Hollywood Hills looking for parties at which Trent promises there will be lots of "honey babies" to pick up. They spend a lot of time playing an advanced version of video hockey. They go looking for hot clubs ("All the cool bars in Hollywood have to be real hard to find and have no signs"). They try to pick up girls (Mike claims he's in show biz, but the woman remembers seeing him in Starbucks, picking up an employment application). In the middle of his angst, Mike more or less shuts down, cowering in his half-furnished apartment. Trent blasts him out with a midnight drive to Las Vegas, where Mike has difficulty finding conversation openers (it doesn't help to drop insights about the Age of Enlightenment). Amazingly, they pick up a couple of waitresses, who take them home (an Airstream trailer), where of course Mike blubbers about his former girlfriend.
They say you should write about what you know. Doug Liman, who directed "Swingers," and Favreau, who wrote it, obviously know a lot about young guys in Hollywood sitting around in coffee shops talking about making it in show business. If you had entered that Best Western coffee shop a year or two ago, you might actually have seen them planning this movie. It's not a terribly original idea, but then as one of the guys says, "Everybody steals from everybody" (this observation is closely followed by shots cheerfully stolen from Scorsese's "Goodfellas" and Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs"). The movie is sweet, funny, observant and goofy with a small "g," which means you don't get paid, but at least you don't have to wear the suit.

Turkey says three people were wounded after Syrian forces fired on a refugee camp near the border inside Turkey, the Associated Press reports.
The incident occurred as U.N. -Arab League envoy Kofi Annan, who has been trying to broker a cease-fire in Syria, is scheduled to visit a refugee camp in southern Turkey on Tuesday, the AFP news agency reports.
Two Syrian refugees and one Turkish translator were wounded when the Kilis border refugee camp in Gaziantep province came under fire from the Syrian side of the border, a Turkish foreign ministry official says, according to al-Jazeera.
A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, tells the AP that Turkey immediately protested the incident to the Syrian charge d'affaires and asked that the fire be halted.
Al-Jazeera's reporter in the area calls the incident "a remarkable escalation in tensions on this already tense cross-border area."
It occurred as reports indicated that Syrian government forces were trying to prevent refugees from entering Turkey.
Al-Jazeera cautions that the shelling might be a spillover of fighting along the border between Syrian forces and members of the Syrian Free Army, an opposition force made up of Syrian army defectors.

However, soon afterward, the project was cancelled for unknown reasons. The news became worse when Noah received word that his childhood friend and closest cousin, Milo Asher, was found dead in his room. Noah wanted to change the page from a project page to a dedication page, so Milo would be remembered. However, as he watched the old videos of himself and Milo, he noticed things... things he never saw before, but Milo did.[[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Something]] that terrified him.''Tribe Twelve'' is yet another chapter of Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos, similar in vein to ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets''.

The story provides examples of:* AlienGeometries: The ''Halloween Hotel'' video is full of these, and most recently, [[spoiler: Habit's house and the surrounding neighborhood]] in ''Severance'' and ''Bridge to Nowhere''.** Taken to extreme levels with the titular ''Crawlspace'' and with [[spoiler:the boardwalk]] in ''Pitfall''.* AllThereInTheManual: The interviews shed some light on previously unknown info, both behind the scenes and in game.** Kevin's last name being Haas.** [[IncrediblyLamePun Kevin Haas A Camera?]] [[spoiler:Though it is kind of HarsherInHindsight when it's revealed [[BigBadFriend Kevin is secretly]] [[FourEyesZeroSoul The Observer.]]]]* AnachronicOrder** The night time shot in ''Submission 6''** The storm from ''Night Recordings''* AppropriatedAppellation: Observer, as well as the other members of the Collective that have names.* ArcNumber: 11, specifically 11/11. November 11th is Noah's birthday, and important plot events frequently happen on November 11th and/or at 11:11, sometimes AM, sometimes 11:11 PM.* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: [[spoiler:[[WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID HABIT]]]] has been shown to be a bad guy by torturing people physically and psychologically, killing them in brutal and painful ways, and... sending Noah (who is Jewish) a letter with a Christmas-themed border.* AscendedMeme: In ''Nature Trail Visit'', Noah briefly looks at the boardwalk, then says "No. Nope. Nope nope nope." The reaction of "Nope nope nope" to something terrifying is a common occurrence on ImageBoards.* AuthorAppeal: The creator is interested in Optometry, explaining the use of eyes all over the place.* AxCrazy: With the second part of the Thanksgiving Tapes, and the Nature Trail Visit, it seemed Noah was slipping into this.-->'''Sarah:''' Noah... Why do you have a knife?-->'''Noah:''' *laughing, covered in blood* Hahaha... I don't know! Hahahaha!* {{Backmasking}}: INTERRUPTION has ''Mr. Sandman" playing backwards over it.** "INTERCEPTION" uses a reversed versions of Pendulum's "The Other Side", Vangelis's Chariots of Fire, Gotye's State of The Art, Boards of Canada's The Devil is in the Details.* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Milo, as Mr. Scars]] in Obituary and Milo's Tape.** Subverted with Firebrand. While he is indeed an undead figure, he can't exactly be ''back'' from the dead, as [[spoiler: he is Noah's future self.]] * BadassArmFold: [[spoiler: Firebrand]] at the end of "The Live Stream Incident". * BadassGrandpa: Grandfather Karl, who performed secret missions inside Germany during UsefulNotes/WorldWar2, some of which remain classified to this day. [[{{Ghostapo}} Perhaps with good reason.]]* BlackBestFriend: Kevin, who translates Karl's German for Noah. [[spoiler: Possibly subverted because he is undoubtedly the Observer, though [[http://twitpic.com/bbubey he isn't too thrilled about it]].]]* BlatantLies: Noah wisely doesn't give [[spoiler: the Order]] true information about his relationship to [[spoiler: Mary and Milo]] but lies close enough to the truth that it could be plausible. Unfortunately he messes up [[spoiler: or just lost his head from the tension]] and [[spoiler: gives them the names of the people who helped him find them]].* BodySnatcher: The Observer uses [[spoiler: Kevin Haas as a host for himself]]. ** It's also implied that Noah's sleepwalking in ''Fortunes'' is Firebrand taking control of him.** Milo's Tape is an interesting example. Mr. Scars is attacked by Slender Man, and is apparently either given an entire new personality, or is just BrainwashedAndCrazy. Either way, Slender Man takes control of Mr. Scars, and makes him call his mother to arrange a meeting, for which he [[spoiler: eventually shoots in the head]].* BreakingTheFourthWall: ''SCRINIARRI'' Firebrand makes himself blatantly clear he is not talking to Noah. He is not teaching Noah a lesson. He makes it very clear he is speaking to us.* BreatherEpisode: Thanksgiving Footage: Day 1 is notably devoid of any horror elements for a majority of the entry, and shows Noah relaxing and playing games at a friends house during Thanksgiving. [[LastNoteNightmare The ending is a different matter.]]* BriefcaseFullOfMoney: ''Extraordinary Circumstances'' - Noah pops open the briefcase and finds an assortment of Milo's old possessions. Then he notices a layer of black paper covering up something else. We see his gobsmacked expression long enough to imagine something creepy - before he reveals several stacks of hundreds, which turns out to be "almost $100,000 dollars." It might not be movie-star level money, but it's enough to warrant his surprise. [[spoiler: How the money got there is another matter.]]* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Soon after posting the videos, Noah starts hearing inexplicable noises in his house. Then [[spoiler: the Observer breaks in, knocking out the lights in the process, and leaves a package for him.]]** Another example is when [[spoiler:someone other leaves a note for Noah. When he is about to read the back, which we see reads "DING-DONG DING-DONG" we hear the doorbell ring twice.]]* CatScare: Milo goes out to poke around the outside of the house, and nearly jumps out of his skin when an AC unit turns on behind him. [[spoiler:He runs into Slender Man immediately after.]]* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: The flash drive]].** [[spoiler: The sudoku rubix cube, as part of Firebrand's suitcase of goodies.]].* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Kevin]]. Also, as of "The Manifest", possibly [[spoiler: Edward]].** [[spoiler:Noah himself]] in ''The Livestream Incident.''* ClusterFBomb: Enough to warrant its own [[DrinkingGame/TribeTwelve Drinking Game]]* TheCracker: The Observer, a mysterious person (or possibly HumanoidAbomination) who makes a habit of hijacking Noah's account and posting hints/demands (and talks to people on Twitter). He also seems to be able to insert messages and frames into Noah's videos.** Also a talented engineer, as revealed by the audio recorder he built.** Noah is eventually told that [[spoiler: the double eye symbol is what's hacking his accounts]].* CreepyMonotone: Milo's dialogue in the first conversation on ''Submission 5''. "I-don't-want-to-talk-about-it."* {{Crossover}}: "Envelope" seems to imply one with WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID thanks to a Dr. C, a burned letter, and a very [=HABITesque=] note. That is was crossed with purple tape and signed "We're all creatures of" means it's probably from HABIT himself.** "Dr. C" [[EpilepticTrees was briefly thought]] to refer to Dr. Cairo instead, but was later Jossed with an entry on [[http://twitter.com/#!/TribeTwelve/status/93103074700312576 Twitter.]] (compileTruth would later cross over with [=TribeTwelve=] for real in the episode [[http://tribetwelve.wikia.com/wiki/Florida_and_Vermont "Florida and Vermont"]], in which Dr. Cairo conducts a brief interview with Noah.)** Now with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoUUF5hK20s&feature=feedu "Noah"]] on HYBRID and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtFwR_pNDL4 "Northern Trip Footage,"]] it's a full-blown crossover. ** During "Noah," the WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID crew ran into [[spoiler: the guys from DarkHarvest.]] As of "The Manifest", they have become another part of this crossover puzzle.** A full crossover with DarkHarvest occurred in the summer of 2012. In release order: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugyZCsR3nNk Several Months of Hell]], [[http://twitpic.com/alt8d4 EAST COAST ASSEMBLY MANIFEST]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRqxxKvnIP4 The Manifest]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6pSZBXnAAs Log Entry #25: Meeting with Noah Maxwell]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azokbu8RF-8 The Missing Days; Formal Apology]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK9Km8jduqE Our Meet-up]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKJw4t5nubU The Order]].** The series crosses over once again with [[spoiler: WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID]] in "DEUS EX MACHINA", which reveals that [[spoiler: HABIT has freed Firebrand from the Administrator's control.]] ** The two-part episode [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGbvzdKBIPQ "Severance"]]/[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E4TNOfzfag "Bridge to Nowhere"]] gives us yet another full crossover [[spoiler: with WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID]], as [[spoiler: HABIT]] transports Noah to his "house" for a lesson on the meaning (and application of) the Collective symbol. Noah also has a bizarre encounter with [[spoiler: Jeff]] after stumbling into an alternate dimension that appears to be [[spoiler: the [[http://everymanhybrid.wikia.com/wiki/Iteration_Theory#The_Candleverse.2FThe_Ark "Candleverse"]].]] *** In the beginning of "Bridge to Nowhere", Noah also inquires about his location from passing motorist Lee of WebVideo/WhisperedFaith.** Noah makes a sort of three way crossover with [[spoiler: WebVideo/MLAndersen0 and Stan Frederick]] as a voice-only cameo in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59IPOLdU4LM Unsatisfied Customers]].* DarkActionGirl: "cursorsvesselisnotahe"* DeadpanSnarker: Noah. Just look at his [[http://www.formspring.me/TribeTwelve Formspring]].-->'''Asker''': I want you inside me.-->'''Noah''': I didn't know my bed could talk.** Scarily enough, so is [[spoiler:The Observer]].* {{Determinator}}: Noah, as evidenced by this excerpt from Formspring.-->'''Asker''': Be honest, through all this crap you've been going through, did you ever think of suicide?-->'''Noah''': Suicide is me quitting. I'm not a quitter. I won't stop until I either win or lose.** [[spoiler:Averted as of "Catharsis". Apparently he lost.]]** Double-averted as of [[spoiler: Fortunes]] as well. [[JerkAss Firebrand and the Journal do]] '''''[[JerkAss not]]''''' [[JerkAss help.]] * DerivativeDifferentiation: It started off as a video series in Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos that was a largely forgettable ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'' clone, but eventually found its own voice after the funeral submission, especially in "Night Recordings."* [[spoiler:DespairEventHorizon: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSfIJjuOH8M Catharsis.]] Noah is certain he's going to die and doesn't care.]]* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: [[http://twitpic.com/8r7efk Literally]].** [[spoiler: Firebrand literally does this when the Admnistrator is trying to take Noah in his sleep. The Slender Man is so surprised that he withdraws his CombatTentacles and ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome stops attacking]]'' and [[CrowningMomentOfFunny tilts his head in confusion]]]].** In "Bridge to Nowhere", Noah [[spoiler: spits in HABIT's face (on his home turf, no less!) and unleashes a ClusterFBomb after HABIT frays his last nerve by taunting him.]] * [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Did You Just Stab Slender Man?]]: Well... Noah attempted at least.** How about 4 rounds from a .45? [[spoiler:Didn't work.]]* [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Do Not Taunt Slender Man While Running Barefoot Around Your House At Night]]* EldritchLocation: The alternate dimension Noah stumbles into in "Bridge to Nowhere" certainly fits the bill: colors are harshly distorted, stairs and hallways [[AlienGeometries loop in on themselves]], and the air is permeated by an ominous buzzing sound; spending only a brief time there causes nosebleeds and SanitySlippage. While in the realm, Noah finds himself stalked by [[spoiler: HABIT]] and at one point runs into ''[[spoiler: Jeff]]'' [[spoiler: (who has been dead for over two years).]] Fans have speculated that the dimension is actually [[spoiler: the "Candleverse", the spirit world seen in one of the hidden videos in [=EverymanHYBRID=].]] ** A small spot under Noah's desk in the video "Crawlspace", which [[spoiler: teleports Noah to somewhere else, presumably the Boardwalk. We see Noah unharmed afterwards.]]** The Boardwalk as a whole, at some points.* [[spoiler: EnemyMine: In order to free himself from the Administrator's control, Firebrand was forced to seek assistance from none other than [[WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID HABIT]] (whom he refers to as "a loathsome entity with mutual interests").]]* EvilCostumeSwitch: A more subtle version: [[spoiler: as Kevin falls under the Observer's [[DemonicPossession control,]] he begins [[http://new.spring.me/#!/TribeTwelve/q/271745918179478276 adopting the physical traits]] of his possessor, growing his hair out and trading his contact lenses for glasses.]] * EvilDetectingDog: Early in the Nature Trail Visit, there is a dog following Noah and barking at him.* EvilLaugh: The Observer has one, as revealed by his IncrediblyObviousBug.* {{Expy}}: The Observer, but unlike [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets Totheark]] and [[WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID HABIT]], this guy's actual connection to the Slender Man is a lot more clear.* FanDisservice: Noah's ShirtlessScene in ''November 11th'' thanks to [[spoiler: BloodFromTheMouth (and Nose) and the words/symbols written on his stomach/forehead]]. YMMV on that, of course, especially if you're a NightmareFetishist.* FightingFromTheInside: Looks like [[spoiler: [[http://twitter.com/i/#!/TribeTwelve/media/slideshow?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftwitpic.com%2Fbbubey Kevin]]]] has been trying.* FlashStep: Slender Man does this in Halloween Hotel, in retaliation for [[spoiler: Noah trying to shoot him with a ''hand revolver''.]]** HABIT of WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID does this to catch Noah, who had just met with Jeff, and attempts to run away afterwards.** The Observer/[[spoiler: Kevin]] does this in Crawlspace, by [[NeckSnap looking towards the camera]], and then putting his face up to the camera and laughing at Noah before falling on the floor and disappearing. * FourEyesZeroSoul: The Observer.* Foreshadowing: In "Obituary" 3 Freeze Frame Bonuses show photos of HABIT from EMH. These clips later become a part of Severance and Bridge to Nowhere.* FollowTheLeader: Mostly Marble Hornets, but has been going its own way since ''My Grandfather Karl''.* FreezeFrameBonus** Some of the Slender-moments are barely there for a second before they vanish.*** Even in the Introduction. During the "In Memory" picture, look towards the left, in the background.*** Also in the first video, you can very briefly see an operator symbol for a split second just before the end.** The last frame of ''My Grandfather Karl'' contains [[spoiler: a message: "Not safe".]] ** There's also several in ''Unboxing'', as noted below in MindScrew.** The final frame of ''Box Analysis'' shows [[spoiler: a distorted black and white image of what looks like the Observer, along with the words "FORGIVE ME" ({{Foreshadowing}} the reveal of the Observer's unwilling host).]] ** ''The Device'' has the message [[spoiler: ''You will soon remember'']] hidden in the middle of the video as well as one bonus frame at the end.*** Likewise, ''Device Analysis'' has [[spoiler: We will have you.]]*** And "Device Findings" has [[spoiler: AGAIN]].** ''Device Analysis'' also has another, less traditional example. Near the 1:20 mark when Noah points the camera on himself, [[spoiler: you can see something that looks like a person moving down the hall behind him]].** They are all over the place in ''November 11th''. Just one example would be near the middle when we see Kevin for the first time. [[spoiler: ONE OF US]].** "Obituary" contains several frames of [[spoiler: an [[WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID inHABITed Evan]]]] which appear at random points in the video.** In ''Extraordinary Circumstances'', when [[spoiler: Firebrand]] appears in the doorway, [[spoiler: the words "Hello Everyone" are briefly superimposed over a picture on Noah's desk. The final frame of the video shows a picture of Firebrand smiling, along with the message "Try not to spend it all."]]** ''Fortunes'' takes the cake with a total of [[http://imgur.com/a/RgDRz fifty hidden frames]]. While most are random shots of Victor Park and the Boardwalk, there are also a few disturbing images [[spoiler: of the Observer and Slendy (as a ''giant spider'')]] -- and [[spoiler: a fortune cookie that reads, "Stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.]]* FriendsRentControl: Noah apparently lives all alone in a large house with a swimming pool since 2008.** On his Formspring, he explained that it is a summer home owned by his parents.* FutureMeScaresMe: [[spoiler: Despite Firebrand's HeelFaceTurn during the 11-11-12 Livestream, Noah is understandably disturbed to learn that his future self is a member of the Collective.]]* {{Gaslighting}}: Arguably The Observer's MO with Noah.* {{Ghostapo}}: While not present in the series it is suggested by Karl's story and a video put up by the Observer that they were looking into the Slender Man. [[GoneHorriblyRight And that they might have succeeded in getting its attention]].* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Firebrand.]]* HellHotel* HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath: Noah has a total breakdown in the weeks leading up 11-11-12 (the date on which the Observer hints he will either kill Noah or make him part of the Collective). * HiddenInPlainSight: Typical with Slendy; however, it's worrying when Milo can clearly see him and Noah ''can't''.* HiveMind: [[spoiler:The Observer claims to be one.]]* HonorBeforeReason: How Noah justifies [[spoiler: sending [[DarkHarvest Chris and Alex]] some of the possibly ill gotten or even counterfeit money Firebrand left him]].* HopeSpot: "Interception" opens with [[spoiler: the Observer claiming that Noah has won the game and is free to go, just for the sake of going "NOT!" When Firebrand hacks his broadcast and delivers what looks like genuine advice, he finds it rather less funny.]]* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday: Noah has had several supernatural experiences coincide with holidays and birthdays.* HostileShowTakeover: On 11-11-11, The Observer kidnapped Noah and took over his Formspring again.* HumanoidAbomination: The Slender Man, moreso than in [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets that other series]]. ''My Grandfather Karl'' and ''Box Analysis'' establish he doesn't have arms, just lots of tentacles, and ''Submission 6'' shows off his impressive OffscreenTeleportation skills.** [[spoiler:We see the tentacles up close at the very end of ''Unknown Caller'' and a few times in ''HELLOTHERE''...]]*** [[spoiler: There are also several rather detailed shots of the tentacles in the ''Nature Trail Visit'' video.]]*** INTERRUPTION [[spoiler:shows an impressive shot of Slendy's tentacles at the end.]] Way too close for comfort. HAPPYBIRTHDAY reveals that said tentacles [[spoiler: even have ''suction cups'']]. *** "Fortunes" further reveals that [[spoiler: he can replace his ''feet'' with tentacles for rapid locomotion]]. There are also several ''very'' disturbing shots that show [[spoiler: Slendy's body (or legs) replaced with that of a GiantSpider.]]** COMECLOSER and Noah's [[spoiler:hijacked]] Formspring imply that [[spoiler:the Observer is one as well.]]** Firebrand and Mr. Scars have undead humanoid bodies that retain their death wounds (being ''burned beyond recognition'' in the case of Firebrand and covered in vicious scars for [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Mr. Scars).]]*** In fact, Milo's Tape shows that Mr. Scars' body is still functioning despite having an '''''open slit throat'''''.* ImpossibleThief: [[spoiler:The ''[[GeometricMagic Severing sign]]'' is for taking the ownership of something from someone. The ''somethings'' it can take away include [[TheCracker computer accounts]] and [[BodySnatcher people's bodies]].]]* IncrediblyObviousBug: Justified. The Observer's gadget was intended to be found.* IncrediblyLamePun: Actually kind of brilliant when Noah's conducting his ''Secret Parent Interview''. As he and his mother are talking, [[spoiler: the Slender Man rises up in the window in the background. Then at one point, while Noah's mother is dismissively talking about Karl, she waves her hand, which comes between the camera and Slendy, seemingly erasing him from sight.]] In other words, she literally [[HandWave hand waved]] him away. Happens again during a moment where Noah ponders his insanity in November 11th.* InvisibleToNormals: Slender Man doesn't make much of an effort to hide himself in the first few entries, but Noah only sees what Milo was worried about after watching the recordings.* INeedAFreakingDrink: Noah's reaction to the DEUS EX MACHINA video being posted to his account.* IShallTauntYou: The Observer is apparently quite fond of this- his messages for Noah are much less cryptic than those of other series' mysterious interlocutors, preferring straight-up mockery. For example, after [[spoiler:Noah was first abducted for a week, Observer put his knife back in his hand after writing "USELESS" on the handle.]]** The [[EvilTwin mysterious clone of Noah]] who is using Noah's vine account is leaving fortune cookies around with fortunes that make fun of Noah's lack of activity for the last few months of 2014.* JerkassHasAPoint: What appears to be either a re-enslaved Firebrand, or a clone of Noah created by the Slender Man, taunts Noah by leaving behind fortune cookies. These fortunes actually complain of Noah's lack of activity such as "You aren't very confident, are you?" or "Killing time wastes opportunities." Even though Noah denies it now, they do have a point... * JumpScare: The Observer loves doing this, too.* KickTheSonOfABitch: The [[AcceptableTargets Nazi soldier]] in ''My Grandfather Karl''.* KilledOffForReal** On the Valentine's Day livestream, Noah's mom tells him that [[spoiler: Milo's stepdad John Fletcher is dead. They both suspect Mary Asher murdered him.]]** On the same livestream, Sarah tells Noah that [[spoiler: Kat has been killed too.]]*** Later revealed that [[spoiler: Noah did it.]]** In "Several Months from Hell", Noah reveals that [[spoiler: following Sarah's abduction by The Collective on Twitter, he found her name in the obituaries. Caused by self-inflicted stab wounds. Supposedly.]]** As of Obituary: [[spoiler: Mary Asher.]]* [[spoiler: TheKillerInMe: In "Catharsis", Noah admits that he did indeed murder Kat, under the influence of Observer and possibly Slendy. The guilt seems to be one of the major reasons he was resigning himself to his fate.]]* LaughingMad: Noah in 'Nature Trail Visit'.* LostEpisode: The 11/11/12 Livestream, due to recording difficulties. To summarize what happened: [[spoiler:Noah is pretty much going through a DespairEventHorizon by the time it gets to the appointed time. When it's finally 11:11, Observer doesn't show up. It looks like the Observer is messing with Noah; but then Noah gets a message from some "F" that he's trying to protect him. It turns out he has only been delayed by an hour. Once it strikes 12, something appears that we don't see and Noah disappears for a few minutes all the while backwards music is playing. Noah returns and is in a shock at what happened. He then finds the private video which is playing the same music and at the end of it is puking due to what he saw. By the end he's alive, but wishes he was dead after what he saw.]]** In ''The Live Stream Incident'', we get a better look at what happened, including where Noah went during that time. [[spoiler: He is sent to different points in time, first to the inside of his closet during "The Device" in order to deliver the rubber ball to his past self (the banging coming from the closet in the video was him trying to get out). Then he goes to the hotel during "November 11th" and sees himself get taken by Slender Man (from the spot where he said Firebrand was standing, making him realize that he is Firebrand). Then he gets put in front of himself doing the livestream a couple of minutes ago, right before he got sent back to the closet. Finally he gets back to his room after the music ends, where he comes back to the stream and watches "INTERCEPTION" before ending the stream and going to bed.]]* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: In ''Secret Parent Interview'', Slendy appears in the darkened background while Noah talks with his parents. Fairly easy to miss, unless you read the video description before watching.** In 'Several Months of Hell', The Observer makes his presence known.* MeaningfulName: As one person on Formspring pointed out, Asher of the Twelve Tribes of Israel( what the channel was originally going to be about) sold his brother into slavery.* MindScrew: Probably what makes the series so well known.** The first bit of weirdness during ''Night Recording'': [[spoiler: the image flickers and is briefly replaced by a swimming pool at night in a lightning storm.]] And to add to that, [[spoiler: [[HiddenInPlainSight Slendy's hidden in the picture.]] OhCrap.]]** The images from ''Submission 6'', after Milo is [[spoiler:apparently captured by the Slender Man]].** The stuff Noah gets in the box left in ''Night Recording''. In the ''Unboxing'' video, random words and images sometimes appear on screen: one is a picture of Slendy, shortly after are words saying "He Knows What I Have Done", and the last "I will wait for you", while a picture of tentacled Slendy dominates the screen. Also doubles as a FreezeFrameBonus, as noted above.** Curiously enough, ''not'' the Observer-nightmarish imagery aside, he's actually pretty straightforward (if laconic).** Northern Trip Footage does before the plane even takes off.** The Live Stream Incident is...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R5I28EzuhA well, just take a look for yourself.]]** Not to mention The Order as well.** A small bit of this happens in Extraordinary Circumstances.** Milo's Tape is mind-screwy from both mental, and physical points of view. Some notable examples include [[UpToEleven Slender Man's heightened teleportation skills]], Firebrand's random appearance, and [[spoiler: Mary Asher's death]].** Bridge To Nowhere by a long shot is probably the most mindscewy episode in the ''entire series'', consisting of an EldritchLocation that makes up [[WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID HABIT"S]] realm, looping stairwells, [[ISeeDeadPeople meeting Jeff]], and [[HellIsThatNoise weird noises in the background]].** Fortunes has one big one near the end of the video. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wZVMVcftB4#t=646 See it here.]]* MundaneUtility: HABIT scoffs on using the ''[[GeometricMagic Severing Sign]]'' [[spoiler:aka ''the Observer symbol'']] for hacking computer accounts and not the way it was intended (hacking ''[[BodySnatcher people]]''), but admits that it can be used that way and much more.* NiceHat: The hat Noah is wearing in ''Nature Trail Visit''.* NightmareFace: Multiple times in [[spoiler:COMECLOSER]]** Also in [[spoiler: INTERRUPTION]]. Plenty of terror to go around.* NoEnding: One of Noah's twitter updates teases this, [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt but was just a false alarm.]]* {{Not}}!: The Observer's idea of a joke in "Interception".* NotSoAboveItAll: While Noah curses like a sailor, the Observer keeps things clean. Until INTERCEPTION when [[spoiler: Firebrand interrupts the broadcast]], he regains it and yells "SHUT THE FUCK UP".* NothingExcitingEverHappensHere: [[RunningGag It's just been really boring around here.]]* NothingIsScarier: [[spoiler: ''Night Recording'']]** [[spoiler: INTERRUPTION]]* OffscreenTeleportation: The Slender Man, as usual. Most triumphant example: In ''Submission 6'', he's in a closet in the living room around 20 feet away, and leans behind the doorjamb, out of view. After a moment, he leans out from behind the doorjamb of the bathroom, five feet away from the camera.** In ''Secret Parent Interview'', Slender Man appears in the background as Noah and his mom are talking. When his mom gesticulates and her hand blocks the spot where Slender Man stands for a split-second, he vanishes.** ''Mary Asher Phone Call'' subverts and justifies it. After Noah fires off four shots, Slender Man freaking ''bullrushes'' Noah from across the hall and [[LightningBruiser knocks him down in less than a second]], giving us a close up of his faceless head. So he doesn't teleport, ''[[SuperSpeed he's just fast as fuck]]''!** Since it's Slenderman it probably just moves as fast as it wants, sometimes we see the being walking in other series, sometimes it's locomotion by tentacle arms, most of the time it teleports, in this video it moved in a sort of stop motion animation thingy type way* OhCrap: Noah's reaction [[spoiler: listening to the message on the device.]]-->'''Noah:''' There's no way that just happened.* PaintingTheMedium: Each member of the Collective uses their own distinctive font in the videos, indicative of their personality. Observer uses chaotic, pulsating chicken scratches written in all caps. Firebrand uses a basic, typewriter-like font. Deadhead uses a cursive font.* PrecisionFStrike: INTERCEPTION has two from [[spoiler: the Observer. "TIME'S UP BITCH", directed at Noah in a taunting manner for not being able to get the journal in time, and "SHUT THE FUCK UP", directed at Firebrand for interrupting his broadcast.]]** "Bridge to Nowhere" has a ''glorious'' one when [[spoiler:HABIT]] mocks Noah's lack of nerve. Noah's reply?--->'''Noah:''' FUCK you! Fuck you, and everything you stand for, you cocksucker!* PsychicNosebleed: Happens to Noah with increasing regularity. Was seemingly [[DyeingForYourArt a genuine nosebleed]] that was [[ThrowItIn photographed for the series]].** If his personal Facebook is anything to go by, one was a real nosebleed after [[RealLifeWritesThePlot a bike accident]], and the other was a red pen that was heated and broken onto a tissue.* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Collective. Spoken about by the Observer on Formspring -- he doesn't say how many members form this group but five of them are named: Deadhead, Mr. Scars, Cursor, Persolus, Swain, and Firebrand. They, along with several others yet to be named, are shown in the video "HAPPYBIRTHDAY."** "Catharsis" confirmed that [[spoiler: Noah was slated to be forced into The Collective on the 11th of November.]]* RealLifeWritesThePlot: WordOfGod says there was some bad blood between Adam/Noah and Sarah from Thanksgiving, resulting in delays and difficulties getting all of the Thanksgiving footage shot properly.** WordOfGod says the same of Milo's actor, Kyle, wanting to start his life anew, but luckily he was able to film important things before he left. More WordOfGod info on both these matters here [[http://blip.tv/MediaMeltdown/media-meltdown-interviews-tribe-twelve-5814627 Media Meltdown Interview]] and [[http://thenimbus.tumblr.com/post/19871623664/what-happened-to-milo-ashers-actor-kyle-malo-allow here]].** In Noah's May 2017 series of tweets, due to changes in the American healthcare system, he reveals he can no longer afford the medication that helped keep him sane and seemingly keep the Slender Man at bay. * RecapEpisode: 'Several Months in Hell' serves mostly as this, while still hinting towards a new lead. It also helps those who only follow the main channel instead of the Formspring and Twitter.* RefusalOfTheCall: The events of "Unknown Caller" scare Noah so much that he destroys the phone and refuses to pursue the mystery any longer. Unfortunately, TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive and it's waiting for him to pick up again...* RetiredBadass: Karl* RightBehindMe: Warnings scrawled on the handrail of the tower.** [[spoiler:HELLOTHERE suggests that Slendy was right behind Milo and watching him all the time during Submission #3.]]** [[spoiler: The Observer hides behind Noah's chair for almost the entirety of Seven Months In Hell.]]* RosesAreRedVioletsAreBlue: "November 11th" gives us "Roses are red, and violets are blue. I have a gun and I don't think you do,"* {{Rotoscoping}}: Used extensively in the Observer videos.* SanitySlippage: [[http://twitter.com/#!/TribeTwelve/status/103541172437397504 This]] tweet seems to indicate Noah is becoming a little bit unhinged:--> I'm not crazy, but I just had the realization that everything around me is alive. It doesn't matter if I'm paranoid, they're still after me.** It [[{{Understatement}} only gets worse]] from there.** Fortunes turns this UpToEleven. Noah is so screwed up by his visit with HABIT that he starts ''acting'' like him in the smallest, subtle ways, and is constantly speaking in a hateful, angry tone. ParanoiaFuel has never felt so alive. * SeinfeldianConversation: Noah often has these with other characters.* SelfParody: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0rzusUAUtk&feature=grec_index There's a Monster in my Closet.]]* ShirtlessScene: Noah has one in ''November 11th''. See FanDisservice.* ShoutOut** [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets The Operator symbol]] shows up in a few places. [[spoiler:Milo gets the IncurableCoughOfDeath around one of them]].** Noah... [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets ToTheArk]]... what could it mean?** Possibly one to Blog/JustAnotherFool in the vandalized tower. However, WordOfGod says the name 'Logan' was actually already carved there, and Adam simply worked it in.*** A similar one appears in Nature Trail Visit.** In ''Night Recordings'', Noah wakes up at 3:33. This may be a reference to ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'', especially with the greenish tint to the digital numbers.*** Actually, across the mythos, the Slender Man is associated with the repetition of the same number. For instance, in Marble Hornets, he shows up at 4:04 on April (the fourth month) 4th.** A lot of the series revolves around Victor Park. This could possibly be a reference to Victor Surge, the Something Awful member who posted the first pics of Slendy.** "Night Recording" features [[Film/ParanormalActivity time-lapsed footage of Noah sleeping, stopped at specific points to draw attention to the supernatural happenings around him.]]** The Observer's symbol looks [[VideoGame/ChzoMythos somewhat familiar]].** ''Halloween Hotel'' has a quick shot of someone wearing a [[http://www.teefury.com/archive/1248/Stare_Down_Contest/ shirt]] with [[Series/DoctorWho The Silence and a Weeping Angel]] on it, both of which have been often compared to Slendy.*** ''Halloween Hotel'' itself seems to be a shout out to ''Entry 23'' of Marble Hornets, namely the part of the protagonist suddenly finding himself trapped in an EldritchLocation while pursuing an enigmatic figure somehow connected to the tall guy. The sudden transition from day to night also occurs in both videos.** In a possible shout-out to the Slenderman fandom, Noah says that he picked up the audio device for "[t]wenty bucks...I don't remember..." to which Edward replies that someone could sell the device for "a lot more than twenty dollars". The Slender fan community has a RunningJoke about Slenderman wanting/needing $20.** In the November 11 video, Noah says "It's really fucking with my mind Website/SomethingAwful." (Slenderman having originated from some creepypasta pics on the site's forums)** In ''Extraordinary Circumstances'', Noah finds a tape and uses the words "more tapes" in response after the common instances of tape-finding in WebVideo/MarbleHornets.* SirSwearsalot: Fucking Noah.** The first time he swears, he apologizes to the viewer, indicating that he normally tries to use civil language. As the events of the series start [[MindScrew taking its toll on him]], he starts sounding more and more like a Creator/DavidMamet character.* SlasherSmile: The Observer at the end of "COMECLOSER". THAT IS NOT A FRIENDLY SMILE.** The Observer in general.** [[spoiler:Noah]] near the end of "Thanksgiving Footage Day 2". [[spoiler: He also has this on his vine account.]]* SnarkyInanimateObject: Milo's journal is one.* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality: Kevin/The Observer. This was hinted at by Kevin's first on-camera appearance (which revealed that he looks a lot like the person silhouetted in the Observer's videos), and finally confirmed in the [[https://twitter.com/TribeTwelve/status/267082063742652419 note]] from 11/9 (which also revealed it to be a SplitPersonalityTakeover).]] * [[spoiler:StableTimeLoop]]:** When Noah finds the device in "The Device", [[spoiler:there is banging and yelling heard from behind the door. When Noah investigates, he finds a ball on the ground with the Observer symbol that says "TROUBLE SLEEPING?" on it. Later, Noah is given the exact same ball in the future, and is sent back to the time of "The Device". Unable to open the door, Noah frantically bangs on the closet door and accidentally drops the ball, leaving it for his past self to find.]]** In "November 11th", [[spoiler:Noah encounters Firebrand after nearly being taken by the Observer. While we cannot see who Firebrand is (as the camera depicts him with pinhole eyes and a thin smile), Noah is dumbstruck by what he sees, and falls on the ground. We then see him be taken by Firebrand and has his memory wiped.. In the future however, Noah is sent back through time, and finds his past self. Understandably, Noah is shocked to remember that it was himself that he saw on November 11th. It is also revealed that it was Slender Man who took Noah, not Firebrand.]]** Finally, in "The Livestream Incident", [[spoiler:a drunken Noah sees his past self, and denies he is real. He walks toward him, and is sent to the times of "The Device" and "November 11th". He is then sent to his past self from a few minutes ago, and is so shocked from what he just witnessed, he cannot do anything but watch his past self walk towards him, and be sent back through time to witness what the current Noah already witnessed.]]* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: The audio from Device Findings, supposedly recorded months before Noah heard it.** "Perhaps you'd like to know why Milo committed suicide? Or rather, how I helped him do so." "...fuck. ''Fuck.''" "Language, Mr. Maxwell. The walls have such sensitive ears."* TemptingFate:--> '''Noah''' (to The Observer): Quit hiding and SHOW YOURSELF FOR ONCE, YOU FUCKING COWARD!** [[spoiler: He does.]]* [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry That Makes Me Feel Scared]]* TheDogWasTheMastermind: It's not official, but it's highly suggested that [[spoiler: his friend Kevin, who, prior to the video November 11th, was only a minor offscreen character who helped Noah translate, is the true identity of the Observer.]]** [[spoiler: Confirmed. And he's [[SplitPersonalityTakeover not]] [[PlayingWithPuppets too]] [[AndIMustScream happy]] about it.]]* [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything The Writer Thinks Of Everything]]: In the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5mV_g504mA Livestream Incident video]] [[spoiler: Noah is sent back through time, delivering the Eyeball with painted on in the Device Video. He screams "Oh my God! It's me! Noah!" before being sent forward in time. Viewers who went back and listened to that video heard the exact same thing, just barely audible.]] So Adam managed to plan over a year in advance for a reveal knowing that the Slender Man fandom would go over every video with a fine tooth comb. Well done.* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: The premise for ''Night Recording''.* ThoseWackyNazis: When the Observer was in control of Noah's Twitter account, he sent a "prize" to people: [[http://twitter.com/#!/TribeTwelve/status/49992203325546496 A .jpg file depicting a Nazi diary]]. [[spoiler:It's supposed to be the journal of Sebastian Kraus, which the Collective is seeking.]]** Deadhead seems to be connected to UsefulNotes/NaziGermany; the Observer calls him "the Nationalist" and he's named after a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totenkopf Nazi insignia]] resembling his appearance.* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFfvfWlnZXo teaser trailer]] shows events from the Livestream Incident, amongst other things, which can be a bit of a spoiler.** He does it ''again'' in the next livestream on Valentine's Day, and says that he's been using the alias so much that it's starting to become ingrained. He says he's going to start using "Melvin" next.* TimeTravel: In the ''Halloween Hotel'' video, either Noah travels a few hours into the future or there are a few unrecorded, unremembered hours. It is probably the former as Noah films a continuous shot, but one can't be too sure with things involving the Observer.** [[spoiler: In ''Live Stream Incident'', Firebrand transports Noah back in time twice: once to his own closet on the night he discovered the Observer's device (so he could leave the rubber ball for himself), and then to the night of his 20th birthday (where he appeared to his past self in the guise of Firebrand.]]* TrustMeImADoctor: A "Dr. Cairo" said this on Twitter while talking to Noah, despite previously establishing that [[BlatantLies he's a student.]]* {{Troll}}: The Observer celebrates Halloween by bombarding Noah with a shit-ton of AlienGeometries and a small bit of TimeTravel at a hotel, seemingly just ForTheLulz.* UnreliableNarrator: Noah, [[EpilepticTrees perhaps.]] During the funeral video, the last few seconds of footage are of Noah running from nothing while [[{{Foreshadowing}} the image on the screen starts to tear apart]], meaning the Slender Man is nearby. He claims he edited this footage out... then who put it back in, and why? And why did he not want us to see it?** [[spoiler: Even further implied by The Envelope video, which featured a torn scrap of paper addressed to Noah, reading "Unrel Narra".]]* UrbanLegend: Noah's grandfather Karl explains that Slendy is indeed an urban legend he heard back in WWII Germany. Possibly a ShoutOut to the fact that some of the Website/SomethingAwful forum members indeed had heard a German urban legend similar to that of Slendy.* VillainousBreakdown: The Observer has an ''epic'' one during the 11/11/12 livestream when [[spoiler:Firebrand prevents him from taking Noah.]]* WeirdnessMagnet: Milo. Heck, he can't even hold a camera for five seconds before Slender Man shows up.* WhamEpisode:** ''The Token Letter'' introduces an "Ultimatum" from the sender of ''HELLOTHERE'' as well as a new symbol: an eye with four petals. The mysterious third party is now commonly referred to as "The Observer".** ''Nature Trail Visit'', full stop. We get not one, but two very well done shots of The Tall One himself, but we realize Noah had been out for ''a whole week''.*** Being out for a whole week and not remembering anything in the lost time? [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets What does that remind you of?]]** The ''Device'' series shows us that the Observer is very much a physical being, and has a voice.** ''November 11th'': we finally get to see [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen Kevin]], Noah's friend who translates Grandpa Karl's German. [[spoiler: ''He looks just like the Observer''.]]** [[http://www.stickam.com/viewMedia.do?mId=192829088 The 2/14]] [[http://www.stickam.com/viewMedia.do?mId=192829345 Livestream]] is also full of wham.** ''Catharsis''. [[spoiler: Noah admits to killing Kat (while under the control of the Collective), realizes he's going to die on his birthday (and has an [[HeroicBSOD appropriate mental breakdown]], and that the Observer plans on turning him into a new member of [[HiveMind the]] [[AndIMustScream Collective.]]]]** The 11/11/12 stream.

''I'm'' Mr. Scars.]]* WhatTheHellHero: The Observer calls out [[spoiler: The people on twitter when he challenges them to a riddle to see something that Noah didn't want them to see. When they guess it right, he expresses his disbelief that they were on his side, yet willing to see something he didn't want them to see for a ''reason.'']]** Milo's Journal in ''Fortunes'' can be heard insulting Noah, and repeating the fortunes that Noah gets from his EvilTwin. These said fortunes make fun of the fact that Noah has done ''absolutely nothing'' in 2014.** [[spoiler: Noah gives one of his own upon his return, and considering this ''is'' Noah we're talking about, his is a bit more... [[ClusterFBomb colorful]].]]* YouAreNotAlone: [[spoiler:Firebrand]] gives Noah a much needed peptalk [[spoiler:once he stops the Observer from turning him into one of the Collective.]] ----

President Obama has issued a statement on Eid-ul-Fitr, along with a request for help with the Pakistan floods and a plea for religious tolerance worldwide.
The statement:
As Ramadan comes to an end, Michelle and I extend our best wishes to Muslims in the United States and around the world on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. For Muslims all over the world, Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of a holy month of fasting and prayer. It is a time of self-reflection focusing on the values that Muslims and people of all faiths share -- charity, community, cooperation and compassion.
This year's Eid is also an occasion to reflect on the importance of religious tolerance and to recognize the positive role that religious communities of all faiths, including Muslims, have played in American life.
On this Eid, those devastated by the recent floods in Pakistan will be on the minds of many around the world. To help in the tremendous relief, recovery, and reconstruction effort for the floods, all Americans can participate by donating to the Pakistan Relief Fund at www.state.gov.
On behalf of the American people, we congratulate Muslims in the United States and around the world on this blessed day. Eid Mubarak.

Tobacco Regulation Bill Falters
"A great win for retailers" -- Allison Shulman, NACS Director of Government Affairs.
NEW YORK -- Antismoking advocates and key Democratic senators said they have serious objections to the latest draft of a bill that would give the Food and Drug Administration authority over cigarettes.
The breakdown in negotiations, for now, makes it less likely that any bill giving the FDA authority over tobacco products will pass the Senate this year, dashing the hopes of executives at Altria Group Inc.'s Philip Morris USA, which supports regulation.
This is a great win for retailers," said NACS Director of Government Affairs Allison Shulman. "NACS was very concerned about how potential retailing provisions would impact convenience stores and their ability to sell tobacco. However, the war isn't over-- there are possible procedural steps that could be used to reinvigorate this proposed legislation. NACS will remain on the watch for those and fight for the interests of retailers."
Sen. Judd Gregg, (R-N.H.) chairman of the Senate Health Committee, has been circulating drafts of FDA legislation to colleagues, health groups and tobacco companies. He expected to introduce a bill this fall with the backing of health groups and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the committee's top Democrat, according to The Wall Street Journal. Tobacco-state lawmakers had been supporting the FDA bill in exchange for assistance to cash-strapped tobacco growers, through proposed "tobacco quota buyout" legislation.
But the behind-the-scenes negotiations among the senators and anti-smoking advocates fell apart. Critics said the latest draft of the FDA bill was too vague and had a loophole that could undermine the agency's ability to make cigarettes less dangerous by keeping the FDA tied up in litigation with companies that don't want to comply with its changes, the report said.
"Unfortunately, the proposed legislation which Republicans put forth today falls far short of the strong FDA authority which is needed to effectively do the job," Sen. Kennedy said in a statement. "A weak bill is worse than no bill at all because it would give the public a false impression that their health was being protected."
Mark Berlind, an attorney for Altria Group, blamed the breakdown in negotiations partly on the antismoking lobby as well as rivals R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings Inc. and Loews Corp.'s Lorillard, which had opposed FDA regulation of tobacco. "Regulation of tobacco products has been defeated for now by a coalition of the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, R.J. Reynolds and Lorillard -- none of whom truly wanted anything meaningful to change," he said.
