Critical Finance Review
Request for Volatility and Higher Moments Replication-Plus Proposals
Sep 2017
Request for Volatility and Higher Moments Replication Proposals
Following the success of its first such issue, the Critical Finance Review is planning to regularly publish issues dedicated to replicating the most influential empirical papers in financial economics. It is explicitly not the goal of these replication issues either to prove or to disprove the papers. The replications are meant to be as objective as possible. The CFR wants to reduce the incentives of authors to slant the results either favorably or unfavorably. The contract between an invited replicating team and the CFR is that the journal expects to publish the replicating paper even (or especially if) all the findings of the original paper hold perfectly. All papers selected for the replication issues are still refereed to ensure that they fulfill their objectives and are carefully and correctly executed. The papers are also not mechanical but are expected to contain novel and creative aspects, too.
Papers for these replication issues are not selected because the editors have a prior on whether they are replicable. They are selected because they are influential flagship papers in the area. Paper selection should be viewed as professional recognition.
Mandatory Paper OutlineThe format of replication studies should be in roughly equal parts (and in this order):
- Pure replication from the original underlying data. Exact replication is a sine-qua-non.
Replication should be an attempt to use the same sample and methods employed in the original paper to obtain the same figures as those in the key tables reported in the original paper. [This part of the paper exists not only to confirm that there were no coding errors in the original paper, but to keep the starting point as close to the original paper as possible. The authors of the replicating paper are also required to publish their replication source code and some data (ideally full data sets).]
We do not expect replication problems. However, it may be the case that the replication may not succeed for no or little fault of the original authors. For example:
- The original data (even CRSP and Compustat) may have been corrected or updated over the years.
- The original paper may not have spelled out all details. (Doing so is nearly imspossible in an academic paper.) The replicating paper should also clarify method and procedures that are not immediately clear from the original papers.
If this is the case, we, as a profession, still want to learn this. The point is not to blame original authors—the point is to learn.
Important: The idea is not to replicate all the values in all the tables—just the key ones. Replicating authors who want to replicate more or all results (i.e., more than what is suitable for print) can do so, but such results will go into an online appendix. Again, the idea of part 1 is to confirm the exact numbers, and distribute computer program source that makes this possible.
- Out-of-sample tests—performance since publication. Because we usually publish replications of papers 10-20 years old, we now can learn (a) whether the effects have become weaker; (b) whether the results continued to hold out of sample; (c) if they did not, whether they were so opposite that the full sample inference by now has changed (e.g., from statistically significant to insignificant).
- Plain specification robustness tests. This could add new tests: winsorizing, alternative weighting schemes, alternative timing, common additional controls, different standard error assumptions, and/or a placebo. Ideally, the replicating paper should also show or at least discuss when such tests support (or challenge) the original paper's conclusions.
- Novel and creative aspects, such as additional higher-level tests and discussions. This could include interpretations of issues such as (corrections of) endogeneity, even if this could arguably be considered an omitted variables issue. It could be about time-series rather than cross-sectional (or vice-versa) association (e.g., fixed-effects), which can be different in meaning and interpretation but interesting from the perspective of the hypothesis. IUt could also contain interpretation of the findings through a different lens than that proposed in the original paper. This aspect of the paper could be a good venue for the replicating authors to publish original thoughts and discussion points that would otherwise not be easy to communicate to the broader profession.
Journal-Author Contract
Again, the CFR emphasizes that it is committed to publishing replication papers that conclude that the original paper was perfect.
If a team cannot replicate the original paper, then the team is asked to coordinate with the editor for communication with the original author(s). We want to minimize the imposition on the original authors. In any case, we hope that replication will not be painful. After all, these are classic original papers, which have set out the recipe for reseach in the area!
The CFR does reserve the right to ask teams to remove outright incorrect tests and execution, but will give replicating authors extensive latitude in deciding on good tests. For example, the editor and referee may feel that value-weighting removes too much interesting observations, but if the replicating authors insist that it is important and interesting, it will likely survive to the published paper.
Regardless of outcome, the original authors will be invited to provide non-anonymous feedback on the first submission of the papers and to publish their own perspectives on the replicating papers. They get the last word. Disagreements are welcome—insinuations are not.
As to the key incentive that makes participation for replicating teams worth their while, please recall that the replication paper—unlike others—will be published. It is not the usual wild goose chase—the desperate search for astonishing findings. Moreover, we know from the psychology replication issue that previous replication papers were very influential. They are beginning to transform their discipline. We hope we can do this for finance and accounting, too. Be part of it!
ISSUE on Volatility and Higher Moments
The second issue in this replication series will be dedicated to volatility and higher moments. Juhani Linnainmaa has graciously agreed to serve as the editors for this issue.
The empirical papers for this issue were selected based largely (but not exclusively) on objective citation counts. They are:
- Idiosyncratic volatility: Ang, Andrew, Robert J. Hodrick, Yuhang Xing, and Xiaoyan Zhang, 2006, The cross-section of volatility and expected returns, Journal of Finance 61(1), 259-299.
- Idiosyncratic volatility: Fu (JFE 2009)Fu, Fangjian, 2009, Idiosyncratic risk and the cross-section of expected stock returns, Journal of Financial Economics 91(1), 24-37.
- Market volatility: French, Kenneth, G. William Schwert, and Robert F. Stambaugh, 1987, Expected stock returns and volatility, Journal of Financial Economics 19(1), 3-29.
- Market volatility: Campbell, John Y., Martin Lettau, Burton G. Malkiel, and Yexiao Xu, 2001, Have individual stocks become more volatile? An empirical exploration of idiosyncratic risk, Journal of Finance 56(1), 1-43.
- Higher moments: Harvey, Campbell and Akhtar Siddique, 2000, Conditional skewness in asset pricing tests, Journal of Finance 55(3), 1263-1295.
The CFR is hereby soliciting proposals for replication for each of these papers.
Each of these papers has generated a large body of follow-up and closely related work. Your paper does not have to, and should not, exist in isolation of this follow-up work. The following studies, for example, supplement the papers listed in each of the categories above:
- Idiosyncratic volatility
- Bali, Turan G. and Nusret Cakici, 2008, Idiosyncratic volatility and the cross section of expected returns, Journal of Financial Quantitative Analysis 43(1), 29-58.
- Ang, Andrew, Robert J. Hodrick, Yuhang Xing, and Xiaoyan Zhang, 2009, High idiosyncratic volatility and low returns: International and further U.S. evidence, Journal of Financial Economics 91(1), 1-23.
- Stambaugh, Robert F., Jianfeng Yu, and Yu Yuan, Arbitrage asymmetry and the idiosyncratic volatility puzzle, Journal of Finance 70(5), 1903-1948.
- Market volatility
- Adrian, Tobias and Joshua Rosenberg, 2008, Stock returns and volatility: Pricing the short-run and long-run components of market risk, Journal of Finance 63(6), 2997-3030.
- Brandt, Michael W., Alon Brav, John R. Graham, and Alok Kumar, 2010, The idiosyncratic volatility puzzle: Time trend or speculative episodes? Review of Financial Studies 23(2), 863-899.
- Higher moments
- Chang, Bo Young, Peter Christoffersen, and Kris Jakobs, 2013, Market skewness risk and the cross section of stock returns, Journal of Financial Economics 107(1), 46-68.
- Amaya, Diego, Peter Christoffersen, Kris Jacobs, and Aurelio Vasquez, 2015, Does realized skewness predict the cross-section of equity returns? Journal of Financial Economics 118(1), 135-167.
Per point 4 of the Mandatory Paper Outline, you may want to try to place the paper into broader context. Although replication and robustness tests are important and valuable, it is also interesting to look around the edges of the original paper. In the end, the goal is to educate the profession about what the data seem to be telling us. Given both the original paper, and everything we have learned since then, how should we think about the original paper and its results and conclusions?
The intended timeline is
|Submission of Interest
|in 3-6 months
|(application selection)
|Confirmed replication
|in 6-12 months
|(first part: source code, data sets)
|First submission
|in 12-18 months
|Review process
|3-4 months
|Final submission
|in 24 months
|Original author responses
|in 27 months

|in 42 months
Team Objectivity
Members of the replication teams should be and strive to remain objective—if a third party could perceive a personal conflict-of-interest, either positive or negative, please indicate this in the proposal to the editor. The CFR's preferred goal is to select not only teams that are objective, but also viewed as objective. In case of doubt, please ask.
- It is not a conflict of interest or lack of objectivity if authors have an opinion or hunch that the paper to-be-replicated is likely to hold up or not. In fact, some submitters may have already worked on replication earlier.
- It is a conflict of interest if the replication and original authors have had a history of repeated disagreements.
- It is a lack of objectivity if the replicating authors are intent on proving an outcome.
If you are interested in replicating one of the papers listed above, please contact the assigned issue editor, Juhani Linnainmaa (email@example.com) and cc the CFR Editor (Ivo Welch) with a description of the team members, the paper to be replicated, and any potential conflicts of interest. Teams have typically included one senior researcher, one junior researcher, and one advanced Ph.D. student. The lead author on a team must have an existing publication record.
The Generic Professional Appeal
Replication (and not just replicability) is vitally important for the profession. The CFR is not trying to debunk papers. It is trying to bring objectivity into and remove politics from the knowledge-building process.
The effort involved to replicate and examine a paper is much less than it is with an ordinary paper. There is a clear road map of what is required and a direct route to publication. It should require less effort than even an invited paper. The work can be done together with coauthors and/or phd students.
This will be the first time our profession will have ever tried to execute objective systematic replication. We need to lend some prestige to this first-time undertaking.
As for me, I would like everyone to consider helping on this task at least once in their lifetime, and to view it as a necessary service to our academic profession, similar to refereeing, and regardless of whether it makes friends or enemies. I am worried about what our academic enterprise means if even famous people prefer to free-ride and not help build an objective replicated knowledge base. If the famous don't care enough to do it, how can we ask others?
Note that it is not necessary that the replicating team is built around an expert in the subject, here liquidity. After all, this is a replicating outside perspective. It should need good financial empiricists, not experts.
This is not my problem. This is our problem. If we cannot get this done as a collection of hundreds of academic researchers, what meaning does our professional endeavor really have?
What does our profession need most? More published papers? More referee reports? More of "everyone knows this is false" insinuations (which, as editor of the CFR, I have heard too many times without empirical support)? Or do we need unbiased replication and confirmation/rejection of our most important base findings? Where do you think you can contribute the most to our science?

The GOP were seeking to destroy one of their own who refused to prosecute Dems when evidence was lacking. First they forced him to resign, then they bad-mouthed him in public saying his performance was subpar even though it wasn't, and finally they tried to derail his attempt to obtain a Judgeship. The politicization of the Judiciary Branch is the underlying story here, subverting the Rule of Law to obtain political advantages.

Christchurch accused was on his way to a third attack, say police
The accused Christchurch killer was "on the way to a further attack" when he was arrested by police, according to Police Commissioner Mike Bush.
"We strongly believe we stopped him on the way to a further attack," Mr Bush said at a press conference, "So lives were saved by our staff" who were "courageous in their intervention".
The two officers who made the arrest have been hailed as heroes, given the shooter was still armed and home-made bombs were found in the car.
Bush said police knew where the gunman was heading, but declined to comment further as the accused has been charged and a prosecution process is under way.
The alleged attacker made reference to a third target in his self-styled manifesto.
The commissioner dropped the extraordinary news as he commended his first responders for their speed in last week's Christchurch terror attack.
"Within 5 minutes and 39 seconds" first responders were "armed on the scene, ready to respond," Mr Bush said, describing the response as "fantastic".
"Within 10 minutes, the armed offender's squad were on the scene ready to respond. Within 21 minutes, the person that is now in custody was arrested - 21 minutes from when we were first notified."
Bush went on to say the accused was stopped "on the way to a further attack". The accused was apprehended by two rural policemen on Brougham Street after the shootings at both the Deans Ave and Linwood mosques.
Work to identify all the bodies had been difficult, Mr Bush said on Wednesday.
"Our number one priority is the victims and their families, but we do of course have other obligations."
The first of which, is to "ensure absolute accuracy in that identification process". Mr Bush said it must be "to the standard required for the coroner".
There are currently six coroners on site "working with our reconciliation team".
"If we get that wrong, that is unforgivable."
There were further challenges around working to identify the cause of death in each case.
"Not just delivering to the coroner an evidential standard for identification, we must prove for prosecution the cause of death to the satisfaction to the coroner, to the judge."
"You cannot convict for murder without that cause of death," Mr Bush said.
He said there will be "another six completed by midday," and that "there will be more".
"The majority, we hope, will be completed by the end of today, Wednesday."
International agencies were working with NZ Police to build a "comprehensive picture" of the accused, Mr Bush said.
An intelligence unit involving the NZ Police, intelligence partners, FBI, Australian Federal Police, NSW Police and other Australian jurisdictions, were all working together.
"We are also working very closely with other Five Eyes partners in terms of cooperation around the profile, travels etc, to build a comprehensive picture of this person that we will put before the court," Bush said.
New Zealand is part of the Five Eyes intelligence network that includes the United States, Australia, Canada and Britain.
They are all working to "build a comprehensive picture of this person that we will put before the court".
Most international help was stationed in Wellington to assist in the profiling of the accused and were lending their "expertise to New Zealanders".

Is there an iOS app that will scan a product barcode and then provide access to things such as cooking directions?
Submitted by Cory K on Tuesday, September 20, 2016.
iOS & iPadOS
If you haven't visited www.directionsforme.org, it's a website that let's you scan barcodes and directions for the product/meal you scanned are read out to you. does anyone know of an app that makes it possible to do this on the iPhone?
You have to buy the UPC in app purchase to get that feature.
does this app work with directions for me?
So I've heard of this app, but will it read cooking instructions?
Digit Eyes
Digit Eyes doesn't, as far as I know, use the Directions For Me database, but it does give ingredient and cooking instructions for almost everything I have successfully recognized. Further, it's rare to find something it doesn't recognize.
I used it for directions earlier today.

Bizarre... they both show the identical exposure settings of:
Auto exposure, Program AE, 1/64 sec, f/4, ISO 400.
But then in the filesize... both indicate same resolution & JPEG and "17.9 megapixels"... but one indicates it saved to disk at 3.6 MB and the other saved to disk at 7.2 MB. That part seems a bit odd.
But as the exposure data reads the same, then it should look the same (unless the lighting was changing on you between shots.) Were you in a sitatuion where lights were changing?
One other possibility...
It's possible to point the camera at one area, half-press (and hold) the shutter button (this locks in the metering) and then point the camera at a different subject before fully pressing the shutter to take the shot. If you were do this, then you'd get the "metering" locked in from the first subject.
I agree. Totaly the same except file size.
what is really throwing me for a loop, is this just started happening out of no where. This totally worked fine, but a week or 2 ago, this started.
None of the other suggestions have worked yet.
Thanks again for all the help.

That could happen if the light source is low-persistence fluorescent bulbs on alternating current. Note that the shutter speed is comparable to the AC frequency (usually 60 Hz in North America, 50 Hz in much of the rest of the world). When a fixture has two or three tubes, electricians usually try to wire them out of phase to lessen the effect, but that's not always feasible. It's a longshot explanation, but not entirely improbable.

"None of the other suggestions have worked yet."
And none of these are going to work either. There is something else going on. But we need to do the most logcial ones first.
Get a new high quality SD card. Format it in the camera. A new battery might be a good idea, too. Canon of course.
Do go outside where there will be plenty of light. Take some shots. No flash.
If your camera requires service, Canon is going to do this so you might as well save them from doing it. Right?
It is obivious the camera thinks it has done its job. The fact the files are different sizes is because there is different content in each.
Do the daylight test with a new SD card. Seeing the same results, take it in for service with the lens.

That said, I have always used the Auto setting on the camera. Up to 2 weeks ago, this worked perfectly fine. In the last 2 weeks every other picture is very dark. The ones that are not dark, are perfect. So weird. So dark i can not even use. However I am 100% sure the flash is going off.
I am assuming you are using the camera's built in flash for all your shots.
That being the case, since "every other picture" is dark, it might just be that the flash is not fully recycled ("recharged") before you take the "dark" shot. This could be because the camera's battery is getting older, less efficient than it was originally (since the built in flash uses the camera's main battery for power... one of the things I hate about built in flashes!).
Simply shooting too fast with flash can cause underexposure issues. But you might speed things up a little by getting and using a new battery.
There may be a setting in the camera that allow or prevent the camera from firing when the flash is insufficiently charged up. If allowed, it would be entirely possible that some of the images might be underexposed.
I don't think the different file sizes means anything... in digital images white is "all data" and black is "no data"... so an extremely underexposed image would naturally end up as a much smaller file than one that's properly exposed.
@scusick wrote:
I cant find the reset setting in the Menu if you can assist please.
I can 100% see the flash go. maybe it igoes, but not working?
and this worked perfectly for months, and all of a sudden it changed.
Another interesting thing I just noticed. The good ones are like 7 and 8 MB. The bad ones are only 3-4 MB. Could that be a hint as to the problem?
Let me know if these attachment helps.
Thanks in advance
The file size discrepancy is a consequence of the problem, but says nothing about its cause. You're evidently shooting JPEG images, and the algorithm that translates the RAW capture into JPEG format uses data compression when it can. When an image is monochromatic and/or has little detail, the compression is more efficient. Since an image that's nearly all black has little detail, the result is a smaller file.
07-30-2015 07:23 PM - edited 07-30-2015 07:24 PM
Canon has patents on a system of charging the flash capacitors in parallel. So every other flash alternates from a different electrical "side." One of your sides is not charging properly, and only putting out maybe ~10% of what it should.
The upshot: send the camera in for service, for variances in flash output.

Human Phermones: Human Pheromones: Can You really Appeal to Folks Through A person Nose?
Have you ever wondered why you are attracted to certain folks yet, people just don't do it for you. How about obviously appealing people who get lots of attention from in other places nonetheless, you can't very see the attraction. Or even considered that the pheromones might be with play?
Both of These Studies Men Responded Quite Conflictingly
Theymaintained to avoid both sprayed chairs and also the telephone booths. It is thought that they were keeping far from a territory which has already been claimed simply by someone more dominating than he has been.
Debt collecting letters on the other hand are by their very nature threatening. Dispersed letters were paid more frequently and somewhat faster. Subconsciously simply by smell that said someone who is dominating, aggressive and serious sent this letter. The scent equivalents of red print on a bill.
I've always been fascinated with the connection between parents and their children. Research in this area has made some interesting info. Let's say human pheromones receive play as soon as we are born? Why are we as humans always attracted to our mothers? I don't know about you but I simply see my mom regarding twice a year because of the distance between us geographically but as soon as I am in the same house as her, I understand that relationship between us just seems to be there automatically. Could it be a pheromone thing?
We've all witnessed storiesin relation to be able to Pheromones and the way they're supposed to be this particular amazing sex magnets, but could it be true? From a scientific point of view this whole phenomenon seems to be very informative. It so happens that it is veryaccurate. Evernotice that if you are around someone else that you're interested in you manage to perspire a little more than usual? Well in 1996 a scientist surely could Segregate theauthentic human pheromone, called-Androstenone and also you know where it was found?.....Naturally! in man sweat.
But there is adilemma, because humans have grown to be cultured in the lavatory.......meaning that once we shower, put on perfume, or perhaps deoderant we can be cleaning away ourpheromones or perhaps covering all of them up, and also based on studies, pheromonesplay alarge portion in male/female attraction. We all havereproduced a complex of the most basic human pheromonesAndrostenonewhich offers beenintegrated into compatible modern masculine perfumes, thus allowing the user to apply any time they want the actual biological attractants that ensure a promoting female reaction to his presence.(ATTRACTION)
We all know of or perhaps have experienced the phenomenon of a group of women who live together normally have their monthly menstrual periods at the same time. The pheromones the actual women create influence each other. Once more, no person knows yet why this happens however research is continuing.
Conversely a hostile or harmful character would be all the more daunting in the event that his message were reinforced with this smell.
- Sales people have found it to own advantages in their dealings with consumers.
- Older people seem to enjoy its effects as well as notice delicate differences in other's behavior toward them.
Studies have been done in humans pertaining to the production of pheromones in women and men which seem to indicate higher production of these kinds of chemicals in people at the time of ovulation. Studies have also shown that the production of pheromones will also change in ladies when they are placed in the company of most women or all men.
Every Meet a as Well as Feel this Kind of Creditable Chemistry
Doesn't happen frequently, but these are pheromones at the office. Distribute in which pheromone chemical information of sex to woman and they will itch for you, desire you and have to get to know you . Your eye contact with lady will double and women will generally gather around the location and not even know exactly why.. Watch the gap. It really works. Scientific research and studies completed on Androstenone are usually veryextensive and possessing been going on for more than Twenty years.
We as human beings can not perceive an odor. Some may confuse the body odor that is produced by the breaking down of glandular secretions by bacteria with the production of pheromones but they are two different things.
They wereshownexactly a similar pictures on both occasions as well as the results to the questions had been different in the presence of Androstenone. The assessments of the buildings and trees scarcely changed. Animals have been judged as rash, more unpredictable but the actual differences came up in the photographs of other humans. Both men and women wereanalyzed to look more hypersensitive, good, astute, while making love attractive, warm, friendly and selfassured.
- The good news is that human pheromones of the enhancement sort are readily available on the market today.
- Just do a search on the internet and you'll come up with a variety of companies promoting pheromone cologne, perfume or perhaps apply.
- So what exactly are pheromones and how would they work?
For the mostpure effect, make use of a real ANDROSTENONE centered cologne as an after-shave and put it on to the underarms, chest, wrists along with other suitable hotspots.
Now I don't know if you have ever heard of pheromones but there is such a thing. Pheromones as they occur in nature are chemical triggers which are secreted by animals which may trigger a change in the behavior of some other animal. These chemicals are secreted by different glands at various times of the life of the animal. They can be triggered to be able to modulate sexual behavior. Have you ever heard of the statement of a dog in heat? When a female is ovulating and at the time of reproduction male dogs will observe her in order to lover with her. This only happens at certain times. The key is the secretion of chemical substances by the female which alerts the males of her condition.
Has been demonstrated simply by independent research that if you take a row of say ten identical chairs and spray one of them withAndrostenone'saressive odor, women sit on it more regularly. It is believed that since the chairs offer no impact on the smell message, and so are definitely not intimidating, women subconsciously go toward them and find it to be some kind of invisible sanctuary. This particular experiment has been efficiently repeated on cell phone booths and it was found that not only were these booths used more often by women, so have been the ones either side and in addition the average duration of contact increased.
The effect a smell has on us depends very much on the way it is presented. If you were missing, cold, wet and hungry inside a forest, the smell of woodsmoke would be most welcome. You would go for the resource ready for warmth and possibly even food. Yet in a theater watching a play, the actual smell of woodsmoke would be like to inspire panic.
Pheromones Perfumes for Men for MalesPheromones are good at altering people's behaviors. There are many types of pheromones, each with separate purposes or different reaction. Just some of such reactions include a signal for food, danger, and sex. Different types of pheromones have different influences on the behaviour. Learn more about pheromones perfumes for men for Men.

- Only one of these three phones were sprayed using the pheromones and more woman used the sprayed phone as compared to the other two.

Only one of the twins had been sprayed with the actual pheromone. Ladies found the one twin brother who got the particular actualpheromone on more sexually engaging compared to the other. Now, remember they were twins both looking exactly the same, but the twinwearing pheromones was found more appealing hands down. This experiment was done on a national Tv show in England.
Men Put It to Use to Themselves in Business
To get additional respect, therefore appearing more domineering or intimidating. Patented with regard to improving debt collection by spraying the final demands - not only do the best way to pay up, they also pay quicker.
An 8-Week Two Bottle Blind Placebo Study Was Done Onpheromones
Making use of 40 men, none of them knowing what was being tested. I.E use this toothpaste, make use of this java, make use of thisperfume etc.. The men who had used the actual perfume together with the actual pheromones revealed under baseline questioning that there was a lot more sexual contact with there wife's and girlfriends. Single men noted more dates, romanticlove, eye contact and sex with women.

Subconsciously the information she would receive could be that this man would sire stronger offspring and be better able to provide for and protect the producing family. Echoing the phenomenon in the animal kingdom, the place where a mate will be chosen for his greater strength and vigor.
- Every animal, including humans, have a unique smell that they provide a in order to attract a suitable mate.
- Can you remember the last time you discovered yourself around attracted to someone but you couldn't figure out why?
- They wasn't the kind of person you were usually drawn to, but you were drew very attracted inside a sexual sense.
The mostimpressiveeffect this substance has is that it could alter individuals opinions and assessments. A group of analyze subjects were told that the experiment was to find out how the burden of wearing a surgical mask would have an effect on their decisions. They were shown photographs of men, women, animals, trees and also buildings and asked to evaluate them on a scale of aggressive/passive, attractive/unattractive friendly/unfriendly etc., while wearing a hide. They were each tested twice with two weeks in between. What they were not told has been that minute quantities of Androstenone have been put on the hide on one of the occasions.
Human pheromones have been described as chemical messengers which work outside the body to draw other people. The amazing thing is that you can not smell them yet research has obviously established they do impact our own behaviour. In fact, you could further describe pheromones because a basic form of communication. Pheromone signals are usually detected by what is known as the Vomeronasal Body organ or VNO which are a combination of cells operating out of the nose.
Business Pheromone Perfumes To be a successful businessman, one needs to be very social and attention grabbing. Right here, pheromones released in human perspiration work. A special substance oxytocin is present in pheromone which is capable of triggering trust thoughts and...
Simply Has a Bearing on Where Men and Women Sit
Ladies tend to be attracted to chairs dispersed with it and also men tend to avoid them. Furniture companies have been known to use it in their showrooms toattract focus on a difficult-to-sell couches and chairs.
When the data of pheromones was relatively new there would be commercials on television advertising their use and also effects when used in perfumes and colognes but have you noticed that these advertisements have all but disappeared. I just don't believe that these effects can be replicated and put into a perfume or cologne.
Humans, researchers at the University of Colorado observed pheromones are detected from the Vemeronasal Organ (VNO) in the nose. The actual VNO in the nose works because thedistinct sensoryapparatus that registers pheromones. Everyone they examined had two small holes on both sides of the difficult divider in the nose. The holes are found just in the opening of the nose. A group of clear cells lies just at the rear of these pockets. These cells are similar in appearance to be able to neural cells . These kinds of scientist's haveconfirmed these kinds of cells have the effect of detecting human sex pheromones. The pheromones then broadcast to the Hypothalamus within mental performance ( the brains center of emotions)a chemical message of sex and sexual attraction.
Human Pheromones
Brief intro by James V. Kohl.
Human beings skin is the organ which releases the pheromones. Their release commences during puberty when the human body begins to produce a lot of the hormones which are associated with growth and sexuality and also are released by glands in skin.
By Just What Approach Exactly Perform Theyfunction?
Over time, people have seemed to get rid of thecompetence toidentify pheromonesfreely. As opposed to other animals, we don't sniff areas of each others body when we share data, but researchers have found that our awareness of pheromones remains but on a subconscious level..almost on an instinctive level and they still influence man sexual discussion.
Recent study was carried out with lovers and twins put in the same position with bars like a social experiment. The overwhelming results of the experiment has been that the men and women who utilized human pheromones before they went out were approached much more often and the partners who participated hugged, kissed and had sex more often. In the twin babies experiment, the double that applied the human pheromones received double the attention the ones approaching than the two that did not apply pheromones.
Scientist's in addition have shown in scientific evidence male human being pheromones trigger a depths of the mind neurological sexual response in women. Pheromones are odorless and consciously undetectable in order to the human nose, yet because women have a naturally better defined sense of smell they subconsciously get male man pheromones right away and turn into instantaneously sexually attracted to the individual wearing or the bearer of these pheromones. Men human pheromones open the door of attraction and sexuality with virtually any woman.. Women is not going to know you have all of them on, but subconsciously these kinds of human male pheromones will communicate you're sexually attractive and induce sexual desire inside them..
People Have Long Disputed How Much Effect Scent Has on Sexual Attraction
I am not talking about the most recent very hot scent that receives sprayed you by attractive young women when you visit a great upmarket department store, rather it's the virtually unnoticeable dust we all produce normally, man pheromones.
Androstenone will be in your product and was designed toexpand the average man's appeal in order to Miss Common Women.
This Happens to Everyone and It's Really Absolutely Pheromones At Work
For reasons that can not yet be explained, some people create more man pheromones as compared to others as well as guess what? these are the ones who are always out on a date and never alone once they don't want to always be. Someone always wants to be with them.
Researchers at the University of Kentucky discovered women exposed to images of men that were sprayed with your human pheromone Androstenone found these pictures of those they fulfill some one that they like or even dislikemen a lot more sexuallyfascinating then images of men that were not sprayed withpheromones. These scientist's ascertained thatpheromones might explain why individuals often decide as soon as the person.
The smell of ANDROSTENONE (5 ALPHA ANDROST-16-EN-3-ONE) seems to be the verycore of lack of control or dominance in man. A felony pathologist found in a study of a prison population, that it has been the people in thedisturbed wing and the prison warden who were naturally excessive secretors of it. The value of ANDROSTENONE is emulated in its open market price. It's a very expensive item. Yet prices possess fallenhugely in recent years making pheromones significantly less expensive than perfume.
Pheromones Also Affects Lack of Control Levels in Animals
An aggressive animal may emit chemicals which alerts other animals of its intense intent. They are also used to mark the territory of a dominant male. This alerts the other males that they have entered his place along with the ladies of the species.
- Some people generate more pheromones at different times of the year and some, especially women, produce a lot more during ovulation.
- This really is nature's way of ensuring the survival of the species simply by locking down a mate in order to fertilize those offspring.
For decades scents have wanted to produce a good attractant impact by offering compounds created from dog musk's derived from the actual Civet cat and the Deer. These may entice the species named but would have no effect on humans.
- The perfume industry has capitalized on the production and function of pheromones for quite a few years.
- I am not sure if pheromones can be added to fragrance since some claim for a number of reasons.
- The first of which is that they are produced naturally by the human body.
- Any kind of try to duplicate them in a laboratory is questionable.
- It might be possible but as far as Now i'm concerned that is highly questionable.
- Is it possible to reproduce the exact chemical permutations found in nature?
- Maybe it is but it is highly doubtful.
So if you've been in the dating doldrums or perhaps in the sexual wasteland lately, it might be worth a try to find some human pheromones before your next night out.
- Be sure to take into account firms who manufacture their own products and have been in business for at some point.
- I like the idea of items researched, tested and manufactured in house with out third, fourth or fifth party involvement.
- A great guarantee should accompany your purchase and better still, you should be able to contact them directly.
Scientist's At the University of Utah Screened this Idea
They will placed products within the nasal. These kinds of devices measured cellular exercise. They found that only the cells found near the holes inside the nose responded to air containing pheromones.
Important Aspects to be Able to Consider
If you are considering buying pheromone products on the internet then be aware of a couple of important factors before parting with your precious us dollars. A shot of pheromone squirt before hitting the nightclub is not going to turn you into a sexual magnet. Pheromone enhanced sprays, cologne and fragrances are meant to work more being a confidence product. Consider simply how much you are going to increase inside selfconfidence just by wearing the particular product? You see, females or guys will not tumble throughout by themselves to get at you; you've kept to accomplish the actual work!
Many years ago I owned a store establishment on an Army installation in Georgia. One year many of the troops there had been deployed to Egypt regarding an extended training exercise. When they came back many of them had been asking me for a fragrance called Secret of the Desert. Their claim was that when they employed this perfume it actually caused women to become receptive in order to sexual intercourse. There were so many who claimed that they had used this fragrance and that it had in fact worked for them that I established that it was worth investigating.
When i would some research I came across this kind of fragrance listed as one of the scented oil perfumes sold by Egyptian vendors. The particular fragrance that has been referred to as Secret of the Desert was none other than their own version of Channel #5. The particular hype was created by the vendors in order to make a lot more sales to the gullible soldiers and the Egyptians employed sex as a selling tool. In light of this I would advise you to be able to be wary of any scented product which promises that it will cause a potential partner to be attracted to an individual. Scent Acrylic Express.
Sniffing Out There Man Pheromones
Human pheromones make for interesting discussion and when the particular jokes are gone, I'm constantly amazed at what people need to understand about them: Just how would they work? The definition of they? Exactly where carry out they are available from? Could they help myself find a partner? You realize, the general man reaction of "give that in my experience today, I want this kind of thus badly!"
- Researchers have shown in clinical studies male humanpheromonesactivate a subconscious sexual reply in women.
- In one study, this particular pheromone had been sprayed on one chair in dentist's waiting room.
- The other ergonomic chair are not sprayed.
- It was found women were more likely to sit in the chair which was sprayed with the pheromone then the mediocre ones.
You may think you are getting a lot more women because you feel more confident wearing this pheromone. This is not the case. You'll appeal to more women because this Pheromone Perfume will be strengthened with a highaccumulation pheromone which has been proven over the years to attract as well as It does...Believe It.. This is worth a try.

EPP at Plano, TX skate park, a photo by DukeSaysSewWhat.blogspot.com on Flickr.
Hello (or should I say HOWDY!) blog land friends! Jack and I are having a great time with my parents here in Texas. We have been touring skateparks both outdoor and indoor. Yesterday's adventure was for Jack and I (off alone cause mom had a stomach virus and dad was worn out from a game of raquetball with jack) to find The Quilt Asylum in McKinney and then Eisenbers indoor skatepark in Plano. What fun we had! That quilt store is AMAZING! I took lots of pics for another post. They are swooning there, too and had a beautiful swoon quilt on the wall. I bought some fabric my local shop doesn't carry. I could have stayed for hours! We spent the next 3 hours at the indoor skatepark where I worked on a new rose star...when I wasn't taking pictures and videos of Jack skateboarding into a foam pit. Before long he was doing front flips off his board into the pit. It was a great day. When the scream-o bands started playing, I could only hang in for about an hour before my ears were bleeding.
Tomorrow night I am sending Jack and his Pop (my Dad) to a Dallas Maverick's basketball game. Who hoo!!!
My husband and older son are visiting a college campus so Duke has a sitter tonight. She is texting me lots of pics of Duke which I love! ...out on a walk, eating his dinner, curled up on the couch... He IS surviving without me!

Backup and Disaster Recovery London
Would You Like to Protect Your London Business from Any Possible Disaster, including YOUR USERS?
If you aren't already prepared, you should do so immediately - all it takes is one member of staff to click on something they shouldn't, to risk your data, your reputation and, ultimately, your business. Backup and Disaster Recovery are essential for every business.
Reliable Backup and Data Loss Protection is essential for:
- Minimising the daily frustrations of retrieving lost or corrupted files
- The Business Continuity element of your Disaster Recovery Plan that helps keeps you in business
- A cost effective way to minimise the effects of a Ransomware attack.
The primary deployment options for Backup and Disaster Recovery are a server system on premise (Internal) or a Public Cloud (external).
Both present considerable problems for the majority of businesses:
- Internal server based systems are very expensive to implement and maintain. Requiring large capital costs for hardware upfront and highly skilled expensive engineers to manage, monitor and maintain them.
- External cloud deployments lack your own direct control of the data centre resources. Then there is always the fear that the external company will go out of business, have a service outage, or a security breach preventing access to your company data.
Datto Local and Cloud Backup (Hybrid backup) cost effective recovery solutions offer organisations a combined approach that provides the best of both worlds. Take advantage of the best elements of both deployment models, and you have an intelligent business continuity strategy.

Montana Christmas Festival Goes on Despite Atheists' Threats
A Montana school recently received a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation and the ACLU threatening possible legal action if the school's choir members were permitted to voluntarily participate in a community Christmas celebration at a local church.
The school has rightly decided to ignore the threat and let students join in the festivities.
From Alliance Defending Freedom:
"Schools should not have to think twice about whether they can allow choirs to participate in community Christmas events," said Litigation Staff Counsel Rory Gray. "Courts have unanimously allowed students to sing Christmas carols at school. Nothing changes when they sing the same Christmas songs at a community festival instead. We commend the districts for rightly ignoring the baseless threats delivered by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom From Religion Foundation."
This latest action by the ACLU and the Freedom From Religion Foundation is yet another in a long series of anti-Christmas (and anti-religion) activities by the groups, including:
- Hanging a banner replacing Jesus with the Bill of Rights in a manger opposite a Nativity scene in the Florida State Capitol rotunda.
- Attempting to place an anti-Christmas sign next to a Nativity scene in Michigan.
- Challenging a Christmas Tree-Lighting Ceremony in Arizona.
- Advocating the removal of a Nativity scene from a county courthouse in Texas.
- Intimidating Arkansas' Riverside School District into cancelling its sixth-grade graduation.
- Protesting a Pennsylvania proclamation calling for prayer and fasting.
- Targeting prayer at public meetings in California.
- Contesting a Mayor's Prayer Breakfast in Mississippi.
- Trying to bar youth pastors from visiting their students at Conway's public schools.
In addition to past actions by the Freedom from Religion Foundation, Arkansas has also seen its Christmas celebrations targeted by other atheist groups, including unwarranted controversy over a Nativity display at a school in Paragould and an anti-Christmas display sponsored by the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers on the Arkansas Capitol grounds.

Single Mum Australia Product Reviews
No More Nasties Shopping Trolley Covers
Parenting product reviews
Protect your baby from supermarket trolley germs…
With several recent studies finding supermarket shopping trolleys a major haven for nasty bacteria, including the dreaded E. coli, it's no wonder that so many Mums are turning to trolley baby seat covers as the clean shoppers choice to protect their precious bubs from harm. This month we reviewed one of the best-known and trusted Australian shopping trolley baby seat cover brands – No More Nasties Trolley Seat Covers.
You can tell just by looking at their baby trolley covers, that No More Nasties know their stuff – and so they should. No More Nasties have specialised in making superior supermarket trolley covers for Australian babies for over ten years. These are not your average mass-produced, poor-quality trolley covers either. No More Nasties produce high-quality products, with expert design and workmanship – and happily, more than reasonable prices!
No More Nasties insist on using high quality fabric for their trolley covers – and plenty of it. No More Nasties trolley covers generously extend right over all trolley seat surfaces, including the worst area for germs – the trolley handle. Baby is protected from supermarket trolley germs in a safe, comfortable and hygienic environment – and so is safe from any nasties, just like the brand name says!
Apart from using the best quality fabrics, No More Nasties also happen to offer the coolest range of cover designs around too – you'll be like a kid in a candy shop when selecting your design – from Geishas to cow spots, the brightly coloured patterns will delight your baby and make you look ultra-chic in the supermarket queue!
"The trolley cover comfort factor has to be one of the stand-out features of this shopping trolley cover…"
The trolley cover comfort factor has to be one of the stand-out features of this trolley cover. Baby is kept cosy and comfortable with the most thickly padded covers around – a generous 250gram wadding offers baby a super-comfy seat and ride. There's no need to worry about the cover coming astray either, with firm snap closures – when you put your cover on it stays on!
There is a large rear pocket to store all the essentials for a trip out with bub. There is also a handy toy loop to clip baby's toys to, so that they don't get thrown overboard when you're not looking! Perhaps most useful of all, the trolley seat cover also comes with a matching pillow so that if bub needs a rest they have somewhere to lay their head down – rather than be uncomfortably slumped over with no support.
Custom design your trolley cover!
The No More Nasties team understand that not everyone's needs are they same, so they also offer a range of baby trolley seat cover options. You can get a basic trolley seat cover, which is the same great shape, quality fabric and full wadding, but without the extras – the back pocket, pillow and toy loop. This way, you don't get what you don't need – or it may just be that you wish to purchase something a little cheaper.
No More Nasties baby products also encompass a range of beautiful pram liners made with the same quality and attention to detail. There is a universal liner that fits all prams – or you can custom order one to fit your exact pram.
And of course there is the brilliantly innovative No More Nasties nappy wallet. Nappy wallets free you from having to lug your nappy bag along on those short trips out – which makes them great for those quick trips to the shops. Nappy wallets hold 2-3 nappies, a pack of travel wipes and even some nappy sack bags – perfect!
It's easy to see why No More Nasties Trolley Covers are so popular…

Have you finally decided to get a tummy tuck to reduce that pesky belly bulge? If you're like most patients the recovery timeframe is probably a major concern for you. So how long is recovery from a tummy tuck.
What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that is done to flatten and tone the abdominal area. This is achieved by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the underlying abdominal muscles.
How long is recovery from a tummy tuck?
The timeline for recovery after a tummy tuck varies for each patient, but generally ranges from 6-8 weeks. Some patients may need to take up to 4 weeks off work.
There are several factors that can affect the length of the recovery after a tummy tuck including the type of tummy tuck performed, age and general health of the patient, and post-operative care.
Recovery after a tummy tuck
Patients typically need assistance at home for at least 2-3 days after a tummy tuck. The abdominal area is usually swollen for several weeks, but a compression garment is worn to help minimize swelling. There may also be some bruising, pain, and soreness. Pain medication is prescribed to ease pain and soreness.
Short walks are recommended during tummy tuck recovery to prevent blood clots. However, vigorous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for a minimum of 6 weeks.
Patients should closely follow the recommendations of their plastic surgeon, to ensure optimum healing after a tummy tuck.

Baby its cold outside! Christmas is over, Valentines is over a month away. How to decorate your porch and welcome your guests? Well one thing is for sure, it is winter. For me that is worth celebrating. Snow is on the ground, snowman in the yard. Why not do a winter porch? Here is a unique, cozy porch worth warming up too. Most of the items needed to style this porch I had already purchased or is a staple in our decor rotation. So the pros of this winter porch being friendly on the budget which who doesn't love this (especially after that budget bursting holiday; Christmas)! Also, I love a refresh in decor, it feels clean and new. Cons of this porch; NOTHING.
My white wreath I bought at Target a while back and have absolutely loved. White can incorporate into all the holidays of the year somehow so it is a star in a lot of my 'shows'. I found a similar wreath here. My black and white plaid scarf I have had for a few years and actually snagged a hole in it. So I came up with the idea to use it as a house decor piece. I found a similar one here, (that I am going to purchase for its replacement in my wardrobe). It is all the feels of cozy on this porch, and pairs nicely with the wreath and rug. All my other pieces I purchased for my Christmas porch, the black and white checkered rug, the faux potted tree, the garland, the lantern with candle, lastly the" believe" circle in faux wood which was a $1 section Target in store purchase. Changing out a few pieces made this porch feel new and will be perfect until I can put up Valentines.
Happy snowman building, sleigh riding winter!!
What does your winter porch look like? I would love to see more ideas and inspiration on what you do with your porch decor after Christmas so please share.

"I wasn't able to talk for over two years about what happened with my grandfather," a young farmer confides as he describes a bitter battle over the transition of land titles from his father's father to him.
I am concerned about the many threads of conversations across farm audiences this winter that weave a sad tale of loss, grief and exasperation with those farmers who are over 80 and are not finishing their farming careers well.
Leaving a lasting legacy as a farmer is not just about money and land. It also involves how you wish to be remembered for your character, and how you want to resolve conflicts before your passing.
Do you want a family tree that is broken or flourishing? Do you realize that the next generation and the younger farmers are just as passionate about being a great farmer as you were in your late 20s?
What is stopping you from gifting and transferring with a warm hand, an open generous hand, on top rather than a clenched fist?
I have my hunches.
1. Money equals security. You are afraid that you will not have enough to live on for the next 20 years, even though you have $500,000 in the bank and shares in the company.
You aren't even enjoying the wealth you have now because your health keeps you housebound.
Ralph Waldo Emerson had something when he said, "your health is your wealth."
Your pension income, your debt-free living and your personal wealth will keep you going. Why not transfer those farm assets and see the pride of ownership shine on your grandson's face? Great family relationships ensure that even if you are close to dying broke, your loved ones will not "put you out on the street … or gravel road!"
2. Losing control is hard. Your friends are all dying and you certainly cannot control that. Facing death is hard for you, so you deny the invitations to update wills and invoke the Power of Attorney that will protect your affairs with your trusted adviser now.
Is holding on for you the only thing that gives you a sense of power and control over your own destiny? Yikes. I would choose to be rich in relationship over being a lonely land baron any day.
Families are supposed to be a sanctuary of love and nurturing, not nasty fight centers of conflict avoidance and deep hurt.
How about extending the hand of forgiveness and forging a new reconciled chapter in your family? How about dying without any regrets?
3. Hard times could happen again. You recall the Depression as a young person who struggled. You are proud of the wealth you have built. You might sense that others see you as greedy, but you don't care anymore.
Your heart is so hardened that not even your wife's pleading for family connection and harmony can get you to budge. Your word rules the day.
You think interest and debt is evil, but do you realize that transfer of assets to your son, daughter and grandchildren could be a big boost to debt-servicing capacity of the next generation?
Your young grandchild can get young farmer rebates and loans that he or she can manage. They weren't born in the early '80s to remember high interest rates, but they are financially astute and smart managers. Please trust them!
4. Communication is hard to restart once broken. You are desperate to have some form of communication, but unfortunately the chaotic conversations of TV sitcoms replace the voices of your family members.
We honour the fact that you have worked hard, struggled and overcome many of the stresses of agriculture. We don't see workaholism and family dictatorship as a badge of honour.
The younger generation is much more collaborative in their approach. If you do not wish to help them get started in building equity with transfer of your assets, they will seek non-family joint venture partners.
5. Character and legacy. What do you want written on your headstone? How would you like to be remembered? Are there special possessions like a gun collection, tools or cars that you might like to share stories about with your beneficiaries? There is a song that says, "When it is all said and done, things will just not matter."
Pinball Clemons spoke to the Canadian Young Farmers Forum 2012 AGM and he said farmers are superheroes. He also noted that strong healthy families are the foundation of everything else going right in the world.
Our rural towns need strong families and farm businesses in order to be sustainable and thrive. Imagine if every farmer in their 80s took their legacy to heart and did the things to finish well.
What would it look like to have grandparents celebrating the success of their farming children and grandchildren?
It is not all or nothing. Wealth can be transferred in stages, but a plan needs to be legally binding and well thought out for tax planning and meeting expectations of all generations.
It is not a "you win, I lose" type of scenario. There are many creative options available when you use a great team of advisers who understand your intent and why you are making or avoiding certain decisions. Farmers are fiercely independent entrepreneurs. The new crop of leaders is going to use a collaborative approach, team up with non-family and seek out new innovation.
7. It is not cool to be a laggard. Remember how good it felt to finally get that new or "gently used" piece of equipment to make your farm tasks easier and be more efficient in your work?
The folks who seek new tools early are called the early adaptors, and they are the ones that see profits first, long before the laggards, the last ones to change or even know what happened.
Be cool. Be someone who is ahead of the game, rather than the unwise one who is left behind. Use common sense and the wisdom of your years to be adaptable and trust your team of advisers to help you finish your farming career well.
8. There is still a place for you on the farm. You will never fully retire from farming, but your role as you age is now different. Take on the position of an elder mentor.
Be the fellow who folks like to come to for a historical perspective on how to be resilient and yet practically optimistic about the future of agriculture.
I have some very wise, well-balanced over-70 farm coach clients. I just wish I could clone their skills and personalities to inject a sense of hope for those younger farmers who are feeling so stuck with a grandparent that refuses to finish well.
What is your choice going to be? Choose to resolve conflict and leave a great farm family legacy. PD

An attempt at a thorough reference list to the Old Toon
Hello all, Jester here. Like I said when the TMNT wiki was first introduced I want to go all out and make a guide to Pizza references, pop culture points, and mistakes from the OT. here's what I have so far...and this is only the first 2 epiosdes.
Jester's Reference Guide to the TMNT
TMNT Episode Guide
Episode 1: Turtle Tracks
Written by: David Wise and Patti Howeth
• James Avery: Shredder
• Townsend Coleman: Michaelangelo, Foot Critic 1 ("Impudent dog, bow before our beloved master!"), Fake Teeth/Goofy Noses Vender,
• Cam Clark: Leonardo, Rocksteady, Sound Technician
• Pat Fraley: Vernon Fenwick, Burne Thompson, Card Shark
• Barry Gordon: Donatello, Bebop, Foot Critic 2? ("For this misdeed you should be banished from the Foot Clan…"),
• Renae Jacobs: April O'Neil,
• Tress MacNeille: Gun Toting Granny, Manhattan Security Services Receptionist
• Rob Paulsen: Raphael, ACME Guy ("I have absolutely no idea."), Camera Man, Ninja Server,
• Peter Renaday: Splinter, Professor ("It's made in Japan."), Master Teacher ("I say throw the bum out!"), Ninja Behind the Counter,
1. When April attempts to leave the Lair, she is stopped by Donatello, who speaks with Raphael's voice.
2. Occasionally the top of the Turtles plastrons are green when seen in the opening at the top of their trench coats.
3. While the Turtles slide down the rope bridge to the neighboring roof, Donatello's wrist bands are his skin tone, not purple.
4. After the Turtles slide down the rope and onto the neighboring rooftop, there are 2 Leonardos and 2 Raphaels. There is no sign of Michaelangelo.
5. Though one of Leonardo's swords is still on the roof, it appears and reappears in its scabbard throughout the rest of the episode.
6. Despite Michaelangelo being seen caring only one set of nunchucks, in battle he uses two pairs. This happens off and on throughout the first season.
Pizza References:
1. Strange toppings introduced. (Pepperoni and ice cream, jelly beans and mushrooms, anchovies and peanut butter, sashimi, whipped cream, and bananas and sausage specifically)
2. Michaelangelo calls himself, "Master of the whirling pizzas."
3. The Ninja Pizza Pizzeria
4. The Turtles take nothing seriously, aside from pizza.
Catchphrase Countdown:
1. Shredder: "What the Devil!"
2. Michaelangelo: "Pizza Time!"
3. Shredder calls the punks "idiots" and "Cretans".
4. Raphael: "Out of your shell"
5. Michaelangelo: "Cowabunga!"
Pop Culture References:
1. Raphael: "Try again Mr. Wizard!"
(A reference to the 80's educational TV series, Mr. Wizard)
2. Raphael: "Here's lookin' at you kid!"
(A parody of Humphrey Bogart from Casablanca)
Fourth Wall Breaking Humor:
1. Donatello: "I love saying lines like that!"
Wacky Inventions:
1. Mutagen
1. Krang doesn't appear in this episode.
2. Pat Fraley voices Vernon Fenwick for the five episode pilot. In the sixth episode, Return of the Shredder (the first episode of season one), Peter Renaday takes over Vernon's voice.
Episode 2: Enter the Shredder
Written by: David Wise and Patti Howeth
@ James Avery: Shredder,
@ Townsend Coleman: Michaelangelo,
@ Cam Clark: Leonardo, Rocksteady,
@ Pat Fraley: Krang, Burne Thompson, Vernon Fenwick
@ Barry Gordon: Donatello, Bebop,

@ Rob Paulsen: Raphael,
@ Peter Renaday: Splinter
@ The Robot Rovers sound to be voiced by multiple cast members.
1. Leonardo speaking in Raphael's voice: "I gotta feelin' we're in Kansas anymore, Uncle Toto."
2. As Shredder says, "Indeed he is." In response to Donatello's mussing that Splinter's in trouble, Michaelangelo's bandana changes colors from orange to purple.
3. When Raphael says, "Take your time why don't ya!" as Donatello causes the moving walls to retract, his bandana goes from red to orange.
4. Michaelangelo shrieks a warning to Raphael, in what sounds like Raphael's own voice.
5. When Raphael's voice says "More bad news," Leonardo's head moves suggesting he's saying the line.
6. When Michaelangelo says, "Jump for it!" his bandana is red, and changes as the Turtles jump.
7. When Bebop and Rocksteady bust through the pavement to face the Turtles, Bebop's shirt is yellow instead of red.
8. Leonardo, in the fight with Bebop and Rocksteady, jumps in the air with his sword ready to cut Bebop's gun. When he comes back in to shot, he's wearing red and slices the gun. Raphael, in his trademark red, kicks Bebop in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Then Raphael somehow is able to jam his sai into Rocksteady's gun as Bebop continues to fall off screen.
9. As Rocksteady tries to uses his teeth to get out of the zoo cage, his nose is seen behind the bar he's "chewing".
10. Raphael's "R" is clearly visible as the Turtles talk to April, but Michaelangelo's "M" is missing.
Pizza References:
1. Pizza for breakfast (topped with Corn Flakes, Raisin Bran, and Choco-Puffs)
2. Michaelangelo: "Now that's what I call a serious pizza!"
Catchphrase Counter:
1. Shredder: "That's quite a brain you've got, Krang."

5. Shredder: "You idiots!"
6. Rocksteady: "Say your prayers, Toitles."

(A obvious reference to the Wizard of Oz)
Wacky Inventions:
1. The Shredder's Robots
2. The Technodrome
Any helps or corrections welcome.

Nice job! I like the extensive voice casts and all the details about the episodes. The only suggestion I have is to maybe note the source of each of the pop culture references as you did for the second one for the first episode. Keep up the great work!

Other than some grammatical junk, it's really good. But, you need to put the extra A in Michaelangelo's name. That's important Ninja Turtles history.

In the cast list:
"Tress MacNeille: Gun Totting Granny, Manhattan Security Services Receptionist"
That would be Gun Toting Nanny. Just a typo that jumped out.

9. Using stock footage from earlier in the episode at the end several errors occur. April is seen driving in the shot before, but in the reused footage Michaelangelo is driving.

The Girly Grunt...
You asked...and here it is. I used only the 2 from Evil Eye because I couldn't get the Shrinking Turtles episode to import into Movie Maker.

How in the world did the editors let an error like that slip?

It's nice to see something along the lines of the Transformers community of dedication being done on the wiki now. Keep up the great work and I will pitch in when I can.

Great stuff here. I don't know if anybody else already did this but I would like to point out that the title to episode 8 is most likely a reference to the 1955 movie "It Came from Beneath the Sea".

Didn't have time to look through the whole thread, but:
I thought the voice of Donatello was the guy who voiced 'Foot Critic 2'.

It's possible...like I said, I'm really just guessing. There are others I'm not sure about.

Not trying to be too critical here, but did Pat Fraley really do Vernon's voice in the first season? To me it just sounds like Peter Renaday changed his inflection (if that's the right word I'm looking for) after first season.
I need to get a life or something
EDIT: After checking the IMDB, it appears you're 100% correct.
