|The Krusty Krab! Come spend your money here!
The Krusty Krab is a fast food restaurant located in the city of Bikini Bottom, founded and owned by Eugene H. Krabs. It is the most popular restaurant in Bikini Bottom. Mr. Krabs loves money, and is openly concerned only with making money and because of this, he pays his employees very cheaply (but SpongeBob doesn't care), and sells his food for expensive prices.
The reason the restaurant is so popular is because of the Krabby Patty, a burger with a very top secret recipe, which has almost always been the signature Krusty Krab dish. Other Krusty Krab grub includes typical fast food products such as French fries and sodas, as well as underwater foods such as "Coral Bits " and "Kelp Rings."
All of these items make up the "Galley Grub" the food menu of the Krusty Krab. The Krusty Krab's employees include SpongeBob SquarePants, the fry cook, and Squidward Tentacles, the cashier.
SpongeBob loves his job and is great at it, while Squidward hates his job and is terrible at it. The two employees work great together (according to SpongeBob) and terribly (according to Squidward); Squidward hates SpongeBob while SpongeBob thinks he is one of his best friends. The Krusty Krab's main business competitor is the Chum Bucket, owned by Sheldon J. Plankton, Krabs' worst enemy and former friend.
While the Chum Bucket, the restaurant's only competitor usually fails, there have been some short times when the Chum Bucket was not failing. These infrequent short periods of time are the only times when the Krusty Krab has any competition. Stephen Hillenburg's original name for the Krusty Krab was the "Crusty Crab," but he decided that the intentional misspelling the "C"'s for "K's" was funnier.
The building itself may have once been an old New England lobster trap, since it greatly resembles one. The original owners may have found the trap lying at the bottom of the ocean, and fixed it up and turned it into a building. Another theory is that the building could have been purposely designed to resemble a lobster trap so it could look more nautical than a regular building. According to "Krusty Krab Training Video", the Krusty Krab was born when Mr. Krabs, who had been secluded in a deep depression after serving in the military that seemed endless, acquired a bankrupt retirement home called the "Rusty Krab". However, a later episode, "Grandpappy the Pirate," directly contradicts this, depicting that Mr. Krabs was once a seafaring pirate as a preteen and that the Krusty Krab was originally his ship. However, it is said that after retiring from piracy, Mr. Krabs sold his ship. He could have purchased the retirement home after this, and it could have been just a coincidence that it was called The Rusty Krab and had the same shell sign as Mr. Krabs' ship. In "Friend or Foe," which revealed the origin of Mr. Krabs and Plankton's rivalry, it is shown that Mr. Krabs first went into the fast food business in his childhood. The Krabby Patty secret formula was created when a shelf was broken during Krabs and Plankton's struggle, causing various ingredients to slide into the patty batter. However, other episodes, most notably "Enemy In-Law," state that the Krabby Patty and its formula is a family recipe, like in "Dunces and Dragons," which shows that the Krabby Patty was first served in medieval times by King Krabs, an ancestor of Mr. Krabs, who was introduced to it as a result of SpongeBob and Patrick's time traveling. As for salaries, Squidward and SpongeBob, the only two employees besides their boss Mr. Krabs, have varying salaries depending on the episode, and are mostly for the joke. In some instances, they are paid an actual (if not minimal) paycheck, while some other instances show that they actually are to pay Mr. Krabs (This is most notable in the episode, "Squid on Strike," where Squidward is forced to pay for his services). Another episode shows they are paid only one nickel (5 cents) a day, according to an episode in which Squidward mentions this fact and SpongeBob can not stop laughing. Another recent episode shows that Mr. Krabs pays SpongeBob with "Wacky bucks", a fake currency which obviously has no value, obviously just for a gag. In yet another episode, SpongeBob states that he had to pay Mr. Krabs $100 an hour when he first started working.
Design and Features
The Krusty Krab building has a wooden chassis with glass windows/walls and appears from the outside as an old lobster trap. There is a large clam-shaped sign in front of the building, similar to those used by real-life fast food restaurants, and five International maritime signal flags above the front door. There is a pole outside its right window as seen in the episode "My Pretty Seahorse". It shares resemblance to a New England lobster trap. It might have just been built to look like a lobster trap, but it is also possible that it was actually formed from an old sunken lobster trap.
Parking Lot
There is no parking lot, although boats always park there. No one will ever know how so many customers can fit inside the Krusty Krab, when there are no cars, but most customers walk to The Krusty Krab, as seen in many episodes including the Krusty Krab.
Drive Thru
The Drive Thru is seen throughout the first four seasons, but its most notable appearance was in the episode "Driven to Tears" when Krabs introduces it to SpongeBob. It was removed until the episode, Drive Thru," when an unrepaired hole was mistaken for a drive thru, causing chaos in the Krusty Krab. Its purpose was to serve travelers and tourists that did not have time to eat at the Krusty Krab. In "Driven to Tears", it resembled a modern drive thru, but in its latest appearance it was cheaply built. It used tin cans with string for microphones, old napkins for a menuboard, and a bent noodle for a sign. The Drive Thru was gotten rid of after it caused chaos in the Krusty Krab
Like other buildings in the series, the Krusty Krab's interior design is sometimes highly inconsistent between episodes. The Krusty Krab's basic floor plan consists of one main eating area, with the kitchen, Mr. Krabs' office, and bathrooms in separate rooms at the back of the building. There is also a crow's nest located in one of the pillars.
Dining Area
The order stand consists of a small boat directly in front of the window leading to the kitchen.
To go with the show's nautical theme, the Krusty Krab bears a striking resemblance to a New England lobster trap. When you first go inside, there is the main eating area, which is one of the largest rooms. The tables are made out of sailing ship steering wheels, with barrels as chairs. Near the kitchen door is the order station, where the cash register is and where Squidward works, taking people's orders, and giving them to SpongeBob through the order window which is shaped like the bow of a ship. In some episodes, there is a salad stand near the order window, and a "Condiment Island" stand, with ketchup and the like. At the back of the building is a lot of rooms, which are very inconsistent but mostly correct in the following order. In "Krabs à la Mode," a thermostat was shown in the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs installed a ceiling fan in "SpongeBob vs. The Big One." It also has a small area in between the roof of the kitchen, Mr. Krabs' office, and the bathrooms, which appears to be a storage area. It was featured in "Penny Foolish," when Squidward sat on a box holding a flashlight over Krabs, and in "Truth or Square," when the crew broke a ventilation vent in order to get of the air ducts. The Krusty Krab also features a "lock down" mode, in which metal plates guard the doors and windows.
On the far left is Mr. Krabs' office, with a money safe, a desk made out of an old sea trunk, chairs, pictures, money on the wall, etc. There is also a door to the kitchen, so Krabs can check on SpongeBob. The safe is also usually where the secret formula to the Krabby Patty, and Mr. Krab's money is hidden. The safe is located on the wall.
The kitchen is SpongeBob's station where he makes the Krabby Patties and stores his cleaning supplies. It has a grill for cooking patties. There are storage cupboards for ingredients. A window is seen, which is used to place orders and to serve them once they are done. The kitchen is commonly used as storage. In some episodes, it is vast, holding a "Patty Vault" full of Krabby Patties, a freezer that Squidward was frozen in for 2000 years once, and many other hallways and rooms. Also, as seen in "Planet of the Jellyfish," the freezer now holds cases of mayonnaise. It had a refrigerator before it was in "Pat No Pay." According to the episode Restraining SpongeBob, the kitchen's width is about 15 ft.
There is one restroom located on the far back right of dining room. It has urinals, toilets and sinks. A sign saying to wash your fins can be seen written in both English and Spanish. In most episodes, there are two or sometimes three stalls.
Other interior features
Most notably in "Truth or Square," there shown to be a lot of nooks and crannies in the Krusty Krab, like a massive ventilation system. That system also has a surveillance room where there are computers that spy on every house in Bikini Bottom. In various episodes, it is shown to be host to several secret passages and rooms. Some examples are found in "Truth or Square" and "Chum Bucket Supreme".
Apart from its excellent food, the Krusty Krab exhibits many of the undesirable qualities of real-life fast food restaurants. It is dirty and cheaply maintained, and the building is sometimes shown to be in a state of disrepair.
In the "Krusty Krab Training Video", basic features of modern fast food restaurants implemented by the Krusty Krab are described as "the latest achievements in fast food technology" and given extravagant descriptions. This "technology" includes:
- Spatula: "Advanced patty-control mechanism".
- Cash register: "Automated money-handling system". (Don't touch!)
- Ice Cubes: "Imported high quality temperature devices".
- Straws: "Prototype liquid transfer machines".
- Ketchup packets: "State of the art condiment dispersal units".
The Galley Grub
The Galley Grub is the menu of the Krusty Krab. The menu is shown differently in almost every episode that it is shown in. The menus contain meals, sides, and beverages. The Krabby Patty is present on every menu ever shown being it's main meal and the only food to be so. The menu also once (it is unknown if this is included in every single episode) had it written with very tiny words, almost impossible to read without a microscope "Money Back guarantee;" however, it has only happened once that anyone has used this guarantee to demand the money back.

Both Customers and Employees
Policies and disclaimers held by the Krusty Krab for both customers and employees include:
- The Krabby Patty formula is the sole property of the Krusty Krab and is only to be discussed in part or in whole with its creator Mr. Krabs. Duplication of this formula is punishable by law. Restrictions apply, results may vary. This is seen in "Imitation Krabs."

- Nobody eats in the Krusty Krab for free (Royalty or not). This is seen in "Rule of Dumb."
Due to Mr. Krabs' cheapness, the Krusty Krab is rarely shown to have any significant advertising, but has on several significant occasions. One of his methods of advertisement seen in the episode "As Seen on TV" was commercials.
- Squidward is the director at first, but when Krabs sees the insane values of Squidward's commercial, he fires the crew and directs an extremely cheap and poorly made commercial using only himself, his employees, and his daughter. The commercial was shown in the "prime time slot" of 3:28 AM, and featured Pearl and Squidward playing teenage girls getting their first Krabby Patty from Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob made only two partial cameos in the commercial, but was extremely excited to see himself on TV and believed that he was now a celebrity. In the commercial, the Krusty Krab's slogan is jokingly shown to be "Come spend your money here!".
- A Vintage Krusty Krab commercial was seen in "Truth or Square."[1]
- Another Krusty Krab commercial aired which appears to advertise the Krusty Kid's Meal, which at that time was themed on Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. This is seen in "Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob."
- In order to attract new regulars into his restaurant, Krabs advertised his business in a local newspaper in extremely small print (so small that anyone would need a magnifying glass to see), as seen in "The Krabby Kronicle."
In "Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob," Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are hired to promote the restaurant, appearing in TV commercials for it. Kids meals are produced featuring Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy toys. In "Bummer Vacation," SpongeBob is shown to own a Krusty Krab play set, which includes figures of SpongeBob, Patrick, Krabs, and Squidward. In "Yours, Mine, and Mine," it is seen to have a toy made out of the Krabby Patty, which SpongeBob calls a Patty Pal. In "Born Again Krabs," Krabs sells Bikini Bottomite action figures until he realizes he is awake.
Mr. Krabs' Greedy Plans
Main Article: List of Mr. Krab's Greedy plans
Krabs has done more than twenty five scams to try and get as much money as possible. His most villainous scam so far is the Jelly Patty scam in "Jellyfish Hunter".
Other than Mr. Krabs himself, the Krusty Krab has only two full-time employees: The fry cook, SpongeBob, and the cashier Squidward.
Squidward Tentacles
Squidward is the cashier, and stands in a boat taking orders for the entire work day. Squidward has also served as a fry cook in various episodes, including "Bubble Buddy", "Pickles" and in "Breath of Fresh Squidward". Squidward hates his job, the Krusty Krab, Krabby Patties, and his peers at work. Despite his dissatisfaction, he makes little effort to find a different job, and has attempted to quit on only a few occasions, most notably in "Can You Spare a Dime?". The possible reason for his hatred to his job is having to work with SpongeBob (who in some episodes such as Restraining SpongeBob and Squid on Strike) has gotten squidward injured or in trouble with Mr. Krabs. The other possibility is the fact that despite his work it has been shown that even SpongeBob (the better worker) gets paid very little and knows that Krabs would be too cheap to raise his pay despite his work effort.
SpongeBob SquarePants
SpongeBob is the fry cook of the restaurant. In "The Original Fry Cook", Jim, quits after Mr. Krabs refused to give him a raise. He first applied for the job in "Help Wanted", the pilot episode of the series. Mr. Krabs and Squidward, wanting no part of him, sent SpongeBob on a fool's errand. While he was gone, an enormous crowd of anchovies stormed the restaurant, nearly killing Squidward and Krabs. When SpongeBob returned, he demonstrated his superhuman fry cook skills, serving all the anchovies, saving Squidward and Krabs, and securing his job. SpongeBob has been assigned other duties in various episodes, including has janitorial duties, "co-cashier" in "The Algae's Always Greener", "Parking Lot Litter Patrol" in "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler", "well money-retriever" in "Wishing You Well", and Lead Reporter for the Krabby Kronicle in "The Krabby Kronicle". At the end of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, SpongeBob is hired as the manager of the new Krusty Krab 2. According to the episode "Stanley S. SquarePants", SpongeBob's exact job title is "Vice Assistant General Manager in charge of certain things". It has been shown that he takes his job very seriously. As shown in Pizza Delivery he nearly gets both himself and Squidward to starve and get sucked into a tornado when refusing to relinquish the pizza showing that he'd rather get both himself and Squidward killed then go with even one unsatisfied customer. He also seems to care less up to the point of obliviousness about Mr. Krab's utter cheapness despite the fact that he pays them very little and has numerous times put his employees into physical harm in hopes of making even a small amount of money.
Other employees
In various episodes, the Krusty Krab has hired additional employees. None maintain their job for more than one consecutive episode.
Patrick Star
Patrick has worked at the Krusty Krab in several episodes. He was first hired at the Krusty Krab in the episode "Arrgh!", only to be immediately fired (and again later for the second time). He first properly worked at the Krusty Krab in "Big Pink Loser". In "Squilliam Returns," Patrick is assigned the role of hat-taker when Squidward takes over the restaurant to impress Squilliam. In "Bummer Vacation," he took SpongeBob's job as an unpaid intern during his forced vacation. In "That's No Lady", Patrick, disguised as "Patricia", becomes the waitress of the Krusty Krab. In "Banned in Bikini Bottom," Patrick works as the bouncer to the secret Krusty Krab. In "Pat No Pay," he is forced to work at the Krusty Krab in order to pay for the numerous Krabby Patties he has eaten and failed to pay for. In "No Hat for Pat," Krabs wanted to have tourists eating at his restaurant but had no luck. He found Patrick standing outside doing nothing and wanting a hat, he applied for the job to advertise the Krusty Krab. He made no success but obtained his hat and started falling to the ground, bringing tourists and more customers. His falling made Krabs find more things to fall into and when the customers see that two were about to hurt themselves only Squidward did and stripped Krabs from his money earned thus firing Patrick.
Gary the Snail
Gary served as a waiter for the secret Krusty Krab in "Banned in Bikini Bottom." He also worked as a referee when a hockey team practiced in the frozen Krusty Krab in "Krabs a la Mode." He was also the "cleaner of the ick" in "Fungus Among Us." In "Shellback Shenanigans," Gary serves in sentry duty to prevent Plankton from infiltrating the Krusty Krab.
Sandy Cheeks
Sandy worked alongside SpongeBob as patty-chopper in "Karate Choppers."
Pearl Krabs
Pearl worked at the Krusty Krab during her vacation in "Bossy Boots." In "Welcome to the Bikini Bottom Triangle," she was only carrying on the family business by cooking Krabby Patties.
Charles worked at the Krusty Krab without Krabs knowing in "Welcome to the Bikini Bottom Triangle." While he was "holding down the fort", he somehow caught Plankton during Krabs and the Krusty Krew's absence.
King Neptune
King Neptune became SpongeBob's "trainee" at the Krusty Krab after he defeated him in "Neptune's Spatula."
Three unnamed teenagers were given jobs when SpongeBob and Squidward went on strike on "Squid on Strike," leaving their positions available.
Unnamed applicant
A short, nerdy, green fish asked for a job application in "Graveyard Shift."
Le Schnook
A fancy French guy came to the Krusty Krab during the exchange program in "Le Big Switch", and puts the Krusty Krab in bankruptcy due to his demands for expensive fancy stuff.
Stanley S. SquarePants
Stanley temporarily took Squidward's position, but destroyed everything he came in contact with.
Frank was once hired by SpongeBob, the Krusty Krab's temporary manager. In "Gullible Pants," Squidward told SpongeBob a false secret stating that Frank wanted a job as a fry cook. The gullible sponge gave him the job, and Frank thought that SpongeBob knows his secret, making him think that SpongeBob was threatening to reveal it. He did what the sponge says and cooked Krabby Patties as Squidward gives him more false secrets.
Karen Plankton
After replaced with Karen 2 by Plankton in "Karen 2.0," Mr. Krabs took Karen to the Krusty Krab after being thrown on the streets. Later, when Karen decided to forget about Plankton, Krabs hired her as the cashier, making Squidward the janitor. Not long after, Karen 2 and Plankton visited the Krusty Krab where the two computers had a fight, Karen reigning supreme. After having a brief shut down, Plankton took Karen back to the Chum Bucket, thus putting Squidward back into his position as cashier, in which Krabs used the remains of Karen 2 to dress Squidward up to attract more customers.
Mrs. Puff
Mrs. Puff worked at the Krusty Krab only in "Summer Job." She accidentally smashes through the front door of the Krusty Krab with her boat and Mr. Krabs decides to have her work unpaid until the damages are fix. Mrs. Puff mainly takes over Squidward's job at the register and Krabs assigns SpongeBob to look over her. Having enough of SpongeBob bossing her around, Puff storms out of the Krusty Krab and prepares to drive off, but a policeman arrests her for littering (she just threw SpongeBob's note on the ground).
Jim was the KK's origenal frycook before SpongeBob. He created the Jim Patty which proved to dominate the Krabby Patty. However he was not happy that Mr. Krabs was paying him too low, so he quit his job (which presumably cost Mr. Krabs a lot of money due to his invention of the Jim patty and how he wnt to work in other resturants). He became rich and visited the KK in The Original Fry Cook in which time seems to have made him forgive Mr. Krabs and his cheepness.
Not Spongebob
In Truth or Square Squidward had a flashback remembering his life before Spongebob and Patrick moved in next door. He seemed to be very happy and to have a similar personality to SpongeBob. Not Spongebob (as Squidward imagined his name) seemed to hate his job like the modern Squidward and was possibly annoyed by him like Squidward is with Spongebob. He worked at the KK after Jim and before Spongebob. He was presumably fired and replaced with Spongebob after he moved in. It is unknown it that is his real name or if he was remembered that way by Squidward to show that he wasn't Spongebob.
Employee Information
Being cheap, Mr. Krabs consistently pays his employees extremely poorly, although the exact amount varies. In "Squeaky Boots," SpongeBob's paycheck consists of an envelope of money. In "Dying for Pie," Squidward mentions that he gets paid at minimum wage. In "Bossy Boots," when Krabs tries to get rid of all the stuff he bought for the Kuddly Krab, he sells them to SpongeBob for 1 years salary. This includes music, carpet, furniture, and stuffed animals. In "Skill Crane," Krabs gives SpongeBob and Squidward their paychecks, which consists of an envelope of money for SpongeBob and a huge bag of quarters for Squidward.
In "Bummer Vacation," Mr. Krabs holds up a dime and SpongeBob says that is more than what he makes in a year. In "Squid on Strike," Krabs deducts from SpongeBob and Squidward's salary for "goofing off". In "Big Pink Loser," SpongeBob claims that he actually pays Mr. Krabs rather than being paid himself. In "One Coarse Meal," it is revealed that Krabs pays SpongeBob with fake money called "Wacky Bucks".
According to the Krusty Krab Training Video, employees work under the unfortunately named philosophy of "POOP" which stands for People Order Our Patties. The video also explains how employees are required to maintain personal hygiene, keep their work station tidy and free of droppings, and keep supplies clean and organized. Employees must also be prepared for an emergency situation and watch out for Plankton.
Annual Employment Report Card
Report cards are kept to record the progress of employees on their tasks or job.[2] The requirements include:
- Keeps Work Area Clean
- Arrives at Work on Time
- Does a Laborious Task for Supervisor
- Keeps up on Hygiene
There is also inspection for the employees (as seen in the episode "Missing Identity"). To pass the requirements, an employee must complete the following requirements.
- Must have name tag on
- Must be clean
The Krusty Krab is one of the most popular restaurants in Bikini Bottom. The place is usually full of customers except during episodes that involve trying to attract them. There is usually a significant line at Squidward's register and occasionally leads outside the doors into the distance with no one being discouraged from waiting in it to acquire food.
The food is so popular in fact that several times when customers are made to wait on food, rather than complain or simply leave they will riot, such as in Whatever Happened To SpongeBob? Attacking SpongeBob and Squidward and even damage the building despite attacking the Fry Cook and waiter being the opposite of helpful in that situation.
During the period where the Krusty Krab had a drive thru the town turned into a parking lot since everyone tried to use it, never occurring to anyone to just get out of their car and go inside like normal.
In several episodes, the Krusty Krab is temporarily changed or even converted into a different restaurant entirely.
In "Bossy Boots," Mr. Krabs hires Pearl to work at the Krusty Krab during her vacation. With the help of SpongeBob, she changed the Krusty Krab into the "Kuddly Krab", a girly teen hangout restaurant which served only tea, fries and salad. The restaurant featured a colorful design and featured stuffed animals and other novelty decorations. Despite its popularity among teens, the Kuddly Krab suffered an overall decline in profits and Pearl had to be fired. Pearl reveals that she was actually trying to be fired, as the job cut too much into her social life. The Krusty Krab returned to normal, and SpongeBob bought all the decorations for one year's salary.
In "Squilliam Returns," Krabs let Squidward temporarily transform the Krusty Krab into a fancy 5-Star restaurant so that Squidward could impress his highly successful unibrowed rival, Squilliam Fancyson. The plan worked, until SpongeBob went insane because Squilliam asked what's his name and destroyed the restaurant.
In "Le Big Switch," a French "exchange chef" from the Fancy! restaurant becomes the cook at the Krusty Krab, and the Krusty Krab is transformed into a five-star French bistro, where Krabs is ecstatic because he can sell minuscule portions for very expensive prices, including a putrid dish which can only lose its stench by shredding gold on top of it. The French chef does this, much to Krabs disapproval. Squidward is also very happy because SpongeBob became an exchange chef and went to the Fancy! restaurant where his Krabby Patties were a huge hit even though it was not the type of cuisine suited for the Fancy! restaurant. Eventually the Krusty Krab bistro goes out of business and SpongeBob brings back all the Fancy! customers, who were demanding Krabby Patties from the Krusty Krab, returning the business to normal.
In "Selling Out," Krabs sells the Krusty Krab to a corporate mogul named Howard Blandy and goes into retirement. The Krusty Krab is converted into the "Krabby O' Monday's", a family diner that had a pleasant atmosphere but in reality generated synthetic Krabby Patties made of sludge by machine. When Mr. Krabs took a job there as a result of boredom, he discovers this secret and goes on a rampage, revealing it to the customers and destroying the restaurant. He then buys the destroyed Krusty Krab back from Blandy for full price.
In "Krusty Towers," Krabs transforms the restaurant into the "Krusty Towers", a multistory hotel after staying at one and witnessing the outrageous prices that hotels can charge. The Hotel is destroyed when Patrick performs a cannonball into the swimming pool in his room, causing the tower to collapse, leaving only the original Krusty Krab.
In "Krabs a la Mode," the restaurant is converted into an indoor ice ring, and later a swimming pool, when Plankton's plot to turn down the thermostat and freeze the Krusty Krab backfires.
In "The Krusty Sponge," Krabs, after receiving a review praising SpongeBob, transforms the Krusty Krab into a SpongeBob-themed restaurant called the Krusty Sponge. However, the soiled yellow "Spongy Patties" made Krabs be arrested. Krabs bribes the judge to excuse him by having Squidward give him rides on the train which was built around the restaurant.
In "SB-129," the Krusty Krab is shown to in some form still be in service two-thousand years into the future. Like everything else in the future, the building is entirely plated in chrome.
In "Drive Thru," Mr. Krabs added a Drive Thru, but after this episode, the Drive Thru is never seen again. Also, the sides of the restaurant are wooden without the netting or glass as shown in every other episode.
Plankton attempted to walk right into the Krusty Krab and steal the formula. He tripped and made himself look helpless which made the public send Krabs to court. His new attempt was to sue Krabs for the formula. SpongeBob, impersonating as a lawyer, made sure that Plankton reveal his true intentions, resulting in another plan foiled. The public and jury turned against Plankton and labeled Krabs not guilty but cheap in the episode "Krabs vs. Plankton".
Krabs was arrested for selling poisoned food. The entire town of Bikini Bottom was against him. Luckily, the judge was a SpongeBob fan, so he reconsidered and did not send Krabs "down the river." Instead, he would return the restaurant to its normal ways, and the judge would get a ride on the Fun Train.[3]
Krabs was arrested for avoiding to pay for a product by stealing. The judge, Horace A. Whopper, decided that he will give away free Krabby Patties all day afterwards. Krabby Patties sold by the dozens as Krabs screamed in horror while watching. This most likely ruined the profits as seen in the episode "Patty Caper".
It has also been shown that due to Mr. Krab's utter cheapness and greed that he is willing to violate many workers rights laws. This eventually got up to the point where it was almost as if it was slave labor at the KK. It has been shown numerous times such as in Fear of a Krabby Patty and Chum Caverns that he has kept employees and customers captive at the KK. It has also been shown that he pays them far below minimum wage (Squid on Strike and Bummer Vacation). He also has shown to physically abuse his workers (mainly Squidward) in episodes such as The Krusty Sponge where he has Squidward give a judge a ride on a train (that was pedal powered) while at the same time having Squidward wipped like cattle. Also in Chum Fricassee where he literally uses Squidward as a doormat to get revenge for helping plankton and nearly putting him out of business. Not to mention that in Le Big Switch he literally sells Squidward when he goes bankrupt despite the fact that he obviously did not own Squidward.
Despite his violation of Workers Rights the only time one of his employees questioned him about it was in Squidward in Clarinet Land where he did not provide Squidward with storage space for his clarinet.

The location of the Krusty Krab relative to SpongeBob's house is not always the same. In the episodes "Help Wanted," "Plankton!", "Pickles," "Suds," "Hooky," and "Missing Identity," SpongeBob goes to the right of his house and passes Squidward's and Patrick's houses. In almost every other episode where the location of the Krusty Krab relative to SpongeBob's house, he goes to the left (the list of episodes would take such a long time to type, this editor would not bother). Mr. Krabs is too cheap to buy to pieces of property to place a Krusty Krab when it is destroyed.
The address of the Krusty Krab is possibly 831 Bottomfeeder Lane. In "Walking the Plankton," a letter is being delivered to the Krusty Krab in the beginning of the episode. If one pauses the episode at the right time, the address can be read.
- Kuddly Krab (as seen in "Bossy Boots")
- 70's (as seen in "Truth or Square")

- At the end of "Krusty Krab Training Video", the Krabby Patty secret formula is almost revealed, but is cut off and the Krabby Patty formula was never revealed.
- The Krusty Krab's doors have been shattered repeatedly throughout the episodes, but later in the episodes the doors are fixed.
- In Nasty Patty, the sign is on the right side of the restaurant and has the name written in green neon lettering.
- It was hinted by Steven Hillenburg that he got the idea from the Krusty Burger from the Matt Groening's animated television series The Simpsons.
- There are two stories on how the Krusty Krab was born, first was in "Krusty Krab Training Video" where it is shown that the Krusty Krab was once an old bankrupt retirement home named "Rusty Krab" which according to the narrator that it only took a few minor restorations (Mr. Krabs just added a 'K' to the Rusty Krab). Second was in Grandpappy the Pirate" where it is shown that the Krusty Krab was once a Pirate Ship. It's unknown which story is true.
- In a few episodes, the grill is in the back of the kitchen, rather than the front. It was once seen on the side.
- The Krusty Krab is called a dump by Mr.K rabs, who is the owner of the reastaurant
- In "Pizza Delivery," there is a sign in the background hanging on a door that says, the heads.
- In the much later episode "Move It or Lose It," the Krusty Krab gets moved 1 foot from its original spot.
- In most episodes, the letters on the sign are made of red-painted wood. However, in some episodes, mainly in nighttime settings, the letters are neon green
- In most episodes, the window between Squidward and SpongeBob is just in front of the grill. However, in some episodes, it is in front of the grill and the fryer.
- In "To SquarePants or Not To SquarePants," there were two bathroom stalls. In "Eek, an Urchin!," there were three.

If the magnificence of cosplay at Dragon Con hasn't sunk in just yet, maybe this picture will help you understand. An area at the back of one of the hotels serves as an ideal spot for any large cosplay groups to convene. Different groups schedule meet-ups and crowd in for an impressive photo like this one. Where else would you see a huge number of Mass Effect cosplayers in one place like this? Pam Marotte took the photo, and I bet she had to stand way back to capture the 50 or so cosplayers on the steps.
Be sure to click to enlarge the above photo to see the details and to see who's got their eyes closed.

Meth is a risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke.
When a stroke happens to anyone under the age of 55, a major suspect is drugs, specifically the stimulants—methamphetamine and cocaine. In arecent issue of the journal Stroke, researcher Brett Kissela and his associates provided additional evidence to support that unpleasant truth.
(Stroke death rates by state)------>
"We know that even with vascular risk factors that are prevalent—smoking, high blood pressure—most people still don't have a stroke until they're older," Kissela said in a Reuters article. "When a young person has a stroke, it is probably much more likely that the cause of their stroke is something other than traditional risk factors."
The modest study involved residents of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky who had suffered a stroke before turning 55. The researchers found that the rate of substance abuse among the stroke group was higher than in control populations. This doesn't prove that drug or alcohol addiction lead directly to strokes, since drug users often have additional risk factors for stroke and heart disease, particularly if they are also cigarette smokers.
(Meth use by state)-------->
But the suspected link between strokes and young drug abusers is by no means a new one. In 2007, scientists at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas published a massive survey of more than 3 million records of Texas hospital patients from 2000 through 2003 in the Archives of General Psychiatry. This gigantic database gave the researchers access to the records of virtually every stroke patient in the state of Texas. The researchers found that strokes associated with amphetamine use among young people 18 to 44 years of age represented a rapidly growing category. In fact, the Texas group found that "the rate of strokes among amphetamine abusers was increasing faster than the rate of strokes among abusers of any other drug."
Curiously, amphetamine and cocaine are responsible for different kinds of strokes. An ischemic stroke, the classic blood clot, is caused by a blockage of blood vessels to the brain. Hemorrhagic strokes result from bleeding caused by the rupture of a weakened blood vessel. In general, hemorrhagic strokes are more severe and more likely to cause death. And what the researchers found was more bad news for speed freaks: "Amphetamine abuse was strongly associated with hemorrhagic stroke, but not with ischemic stroke." Cocaine abuse was more robustly linked to ischemic strokes. So, it's not surprising that when it comes to drug and fatal strokes, the clear winner was amphetamine. It's not entirely clear what causes the difference, but the investigators pointed out that meth injections in lab animals can cause microhemorrhaging, heart attacks, fragmentation of capillary beds, and something called "poor vascular filling." For cocaine, the culprits are vasoconstriction and disrupted regulation of blood pressure.
More than 14 percent of strokes in hospitals "were accounted for by abuse of drugs," the researchers wrote. The data showed that for patients with hemorrhagic strokes, "only amphetamine abuse, coagulation defects, and hypertension were strong independent predictors of in-hospital death."
So what can we conclude? Either the number of speed users in these communities is increasing, or the existing speed communities are using the drug more intensely. Since the rate of increase of speed use was relatively modest during the study years, the researchers concluded that "increased rate in our hospital population is because of the increased intensity of methamphetamine use." Meaning higher dosages, stronger meth, and more needles.
Sadly, much of this has been known since it least 1990. In that year, research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, based on a study of stroke victims at San Francisco General Hospital, concluded that "the possibility of serious and sometimes fatal cerebrovascular accidents in people taking potent stimulants and using the intravenous route of administration is not as widely known as it needs to be."
About 800,000 people in the U.S. suffer a stroke each year, according to figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Strokes are considered America's leading cause of serious long-term disability.

CHICAGO - Illinois' backlog of unpaid bills will reach nearly $22 billion within five years if lawmakers don't take action to fix the state's worst-in-the-nation pension crisis, according to an analysis released Monday by a Chicago-based watchdog group.
The report from the Civic Federation notes some improvement since last year, when it was forecasting a $35 billion backlog in overdue bills. The improved outlook is largely because of $1.6 billion in Medicaid cuts Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law last year.
But the overall financial picture remains dire, with annual payments toward Illinois' $97 billion unfunded pension liability threatening to "swamp all of state government," Civic Federation President Laurence Msall said.
This year, the state's annual pension payment is about $5.1 billion, or roughly 22.1 percent of the state's general fund. The payment will grow to $7 billion - or nearly 31 percent of all general funds - by 2018 without pension reform, the analysis found.
It would mean even less money would be available for the state to pay its bills.
Currently, the backlog is $7.8 billion. An increase to $21.7 billion by 2018 could mean health care providers, nursing homes and other vendors would be waiting more than a year to be paid, Msall said. It raises the question of whether they would be able to keep their doors open or continue to provide services such as health care for state employees and retirees.
"No one knows if the state will be able to continue to operate under that scenario," Msall said.
The report comes about a week before Quinn is scheduled to present his budget for the next fiscal year. Projections issued by his budget office last month showed the growing pension costs would result in a cut of about $400 million for education. It also projected cuts for public safety and economic development.
The Chicago Democrat has said pension reform is his top priority - a refrain echoed by other top lawmakers. But legislators remain unable to agree on how to fix the problem. Proposals have included raising the age at which public employees may retire, reducing annual increases for retirees and asking employees to contribute more.
Some lawmakers also say the cost for teacher pension funds should be shifted to local school districts - a proposal Republicans fear could lead to property tax increases.
Msall said Monday they should be working to "immediately" address the issue.
The report also recommends the state expand eligibility for Medicaid in order to receive additional federal funds available through the Affordable Care Act; continue Quinn's long-term plan to move the developmentally disabled from institutions and into community-based settings and "aggressively pursue" cuts in state funding of retiree health care insurance premiums.
Abdon Pallasch, Quinn's assistant budget director, said the administration welcomes the Civic Federation's report.
"Last year, they supported our successful rescue and overhaul of the Medicaid program, which led to a better outlook for our budget from the Civic Federation this year," Pallasch said. "The Civic Federation continues to support our efforts to reform the state's public pension systems, which will stabilize the state's finances."

Merit of a Mother
Rabbi Aryeh Leib Sarah's was renowned as an extraordinary tzaddik. Two fascinating stories revolve around his unusual name.
His father Rabbi Yosef was widowed a few years after his marriage. He would come daily to the tavern that a Jew rented from the local gentile landlord of the village and served as the teacher and shochet of the area.
One day the son of the landlord announced that he intended to marry the 15-year old daughter of the Jewish tavern-keeper and threatened to kill her if this was denied to him. The girl, her parents and Rabbi Yosef anxiously discussed how to avert this tragedy and came up with a solution. If they could find a Jew to marry the girl her gentile suitor would realize that he missed the boat. But where in such a tiny village could a spouse be found so quickly?
Rabbi Yosef came to the rescue and announced that he was prepared to save her by marrying her despite the considerable difference in age. A wedding was quickly arranged and from this marriage was born Arye Leib, who paid tribute to his mother's piety in marrying someone so much older by calling himself by her name.
Many years later he arrived at a small village on the day before Yom Kippur and was distressed to learn that together with him there were only nine Jews available for the services on the upcoming holy day. The only possible candidate for completing the required minyan quorum was the local landlord who had married a gentile and converted to Christianity many years before. Ignoring the fears of the villagers he decided to go to the landlord's palace. Upon arrival he pushed open the door and shouted at this converted Jew: "My mother married an old widower in order to avoid marrying a gentile and you married one!" He continued to reprove him and pointed out that since his gentile wife was no longer alive and had not borne him any children he had an opportunity to achieve repentance by completing the local minyan on Yom Kippur.
The villagers were surprised to see the arrival of this much-feared landlord at the synagogue and quickly supplied him with a talit and kittel. Throughout the holy day he fervently prayed and wept profusely over his sins. At the conclusion of the final prayer of N'eilah he shouted "Shma Yisrael" together with the rest of the worshippers, stuck his head into the open Holy Ark and returned his soul to his Maker as a genuine Ba'al Teshuva.

Libya's parliament has approved a law that criminalizes torture and abduction, a lawmaker said on Tuesday, shortly after the prime minister's chief of staff was freed following eight days in captivity by a suspected militia.
Lawmaker Magda al-Adala said that the law means those found guilty of torture or abduction could face up to 10 years in prison.
The law is a measure of the many challenges Libya faces as it works to restructure its police and military force and overhaul its judiciary after more than four decades of dictatorship under ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi.
The government often depends on militias to fill the security vacuum, but has also tried to bring them under its authority and criticized their abuses, including the arrest and captivity of citizens without due process in illegal prisons.
It is not clear how the government will apply the law in the absence of a strong police force.
"The country is currently weak," Prime Minister Ali Zidan told reporters a day earlier, on Monday. "This is the reality as the nation moves from being weak to being strong and from chaos to order," he said.
Zidan himself has faced threats from armed groups who besieged him in his office last month over remarks he made threatening to summon outside help to confront militias.
Shortly after, his chief of staff Mohamed Ali Ghatous was abducted.
Ghatous was freed late Monday, according to deputy Prime Minister Abdel-Salam al-Qadi.
He gave no further details Tuesday about the kidnapping or release.
On the same day of the abduction, dozens of militiamen had also surrounded the Justice Ministry for another siege after the minister said that some of the militias were illegitimate and were operating illegal prisons.
Ghatous went missing as he was driving from Libya's third largest city of Misrata to the capital. His car was found by the side of the road. Zidan told reporters on Monday that four vehicles belonging to a militia were involved in Ghatous' March 31 abduction east of the capital Tripoli.

Leesbian necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 144 diseños de 42 diseñadores freelance.
I require a logo for the T2 Rally, which is a banger rally running between the twinned towns of Hay-on-Wye in Wales and Timbuktu in Mali. The rally itself is not a professional or competitive rally, it's for everyday people, who want to buy a cheap car and take it somewhere ridiculous.
T2 Rally
The T2 Rally is just one of several rallies and tours that are run by our company, Craic Addicts.
Craic Addicts is a new, creative adventure travel company. Like our name suggests, we're about as subtle as a brick, and are all about having fun. "Craic" is an Irish word, see here :
Our motto is 'Your adventure, Your way.'
You can see the existing logo that we created at http://www.t2rally.com
The new logo will be used both on light and dark backgrounds, in monochrome, on tshirts, stickers (on cars), mugs etc - it should be recognisable and look good in all of these applications.
The logo must feature the words "T2 Rally" (case is not important, whatever best suits your design). It may also optionally contain "Hay on Wye - Timbuktu" - but it's not required. Also, limit your palette to 3 colours (ideally web safe ones) - printing tshirts, logos and stickers gets very expensive with lots of colours!
We like grungy and eroded fonts.
See the rallypanam logo here : http://www.rallypanam.com for an idea of the kind of thing we're expecting (don't copy it wholesale though!)
I will leave lots of feedback - I want to get this just right. Also, you may want to read the comments section as we'll be posting additional information for you as it comes up and the individual submissions on which we'll be commenting and giving some direction that may help clarify our needs.
We have a few more logos required, so the winner can expect to get plenty of work from us over the next few months (the next logo will be a rework of the Craic Addicts logo you can see in the footer of the T2 Rally website)
- clean Iogo featuring the words "T2 Rally" (case insensitive)
- grungy fonts
- good use of colour
- a logo that looks good in monochrome and on both light and dark backgrounds
- is versatile for many applications (i.e. all identity, collateral, t-shirts, with sponsorships, with other logos, etc)
- simple - complex is not necessarily better (but it may be)
- to be blown away by your creative genius ;)
- an uninspiring logo
- a copy of somebody elses logo
- overly complex logo
- a lot of colours - we love colour, but we need to stick to 2-3 max
- a design that will look like an ink blob on a fax or t-shirt - again, needs to work in 1-colour

A crane that brings hope
Lufthansa Group employees run nonprofit projects all over the world that they personally initiate and are responsible for overseeing. In 2019, the help alliance organization turns 20. A good reason to celebrate!
One of the most recent help alliance projects is the youth leisure center Instituto Juventude Criativa in Sao Laurenco, Brazil. Combining sports with education, the project provides English lessons and helps young people with homework, then offers sports. Regular school attendance is compulsory for all participants.
The Saigon Children's Charity helps mentally and physically impaired children in Vietnam, enabling them to participate in society. It prepared a syllabus for disabled children that is now used in some 40 schools across the country. Thousands of children now benefit from improved teaching methods.
South africa
The iThemba Pre-School Project in South Africa, which takes its name from the Zulu word for hope, iThemba, offers children hope for a better future. The project is located in Capricorn township, one of Cape Town's poorest suburbs, where youngsters learn to read, write and function socially in a group. The learning concept was such a success, it led to the building of an elementary school for 700 children.
In Flörsheim near Frankfurt, help alliance supports a project run by the Stern des Südens e.V. society, which provides regular German lessons for 60 immigrant children. The concept relies on music and play to help the children overcome inhibitions and feelings of aggression, enabling them to pick up the language almost effortlessly.

Interview: "All donations go to the projects"
Andrea Pernkopf, Director of Lufthansa help alliance, on the amazing volunteer work done by Lufthansa employees.
Ms. Pernkopf, help alliance celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2019. What makes the organization different from a traditional charity?
The amazing efforts of our employees, because they initiated the project back in 1999. Even today, people of every occupation across the Lufthansa Group are responsible for the help alliance projects. The very same flight attendants or pilots greeting passengers on board could also be running a local project somewhere. The Lufthansa Group covers our administration costs so that every donated euro goes straight into the project work.
You have held sales, marketing and other management positions within the Lufthansa Group since 1991. What drew you to the top position at help alliance?
Due to my admiration for the volunteer work so many of my colleagues are involved in, I have felt connected to the charity for a long time. I'm very pleased to be contributing my expertise to help offer underprivileged people new prospects in life.
Running an aid project while holding down a regular job sounds like a lot of work …
… It's a huge commitment, and involves everything from initiating a project to regular, personal involvement on site. Our employees form the interface to the partner organization, which knows the local people's needs, and ensures that the money arrives where it's required. This only works when everyone involved is passionately devoted to the cause. Currently, we are able to support some 30 staff projects across the world.
What will the future of help alliance look like?
We want to help even more young people gain access to education and eventually be able to support themselves. For this, we need more donations, many, many more donations. We want passengers to share our employees' enthusiasm for their projects by perhaps donating foreign currencies on board or buying products from a help alliance project in Nepal. Spices, for instance.

The BBA's Public Service blog, Beyond the Billable is your one stop shop for everything Public Service at the BBA. Check it out here.
Issue Spot is looking ahead to 2012 and has put together a calendar of upcoming dates for the second half of the legislative session. January marks the beginning of the second year in the two-year session. The BBA will continue to work on advancing important bills that have already enjoyed some progress in the last year – whether that means they have had a public hearing or have been reported favorably from the committees to which they were originally assigned. These bills include the Massachusetts Uniform Trust Code, technical corrections to the Uniform Probate Code, a statute allowing post-conviction access to DNA testing, and the income tax "step-up."
The Judiciary Committee – the committee that has jurisdiction over the majority of the BBA's bills – still has five hearings left to schedule before March. The upcoming hearings will include bills that fall into the categories of real estate, criminal procedure, torts, constitutional issues and the catch-all category of miscellaneous and late file bills.
In addition to keeping an eye on legislation in the next few months and working to move our legislative priorities over the finish line, the BBA will closely monitor the state budget for FY 2013. Throughout the budget process, the BBA will continue to advocate for issues that impact the criminal justice system, including the Judiciary's budget and legal services.

In the growing darkness of November, the sacred fires are lit by the wisdom keepers of our age!
It's Sunday again. Last week, I wrote about the growing popularity of one U.S. holiday – Halloween. Now, a week has passed and, collectively speaking, America has turned its attention to yet another holiday – Thanksgiving. With that shift come new decorations, sacred family traditions, and most importantly, a squeaky-clean mythos involving a big ship, a bunch of Pilgrims, and of course, the "Indians."
With that in mind let's consider reversing the thread from last week's post in which I examined a spiritual holiday going secular. What if we ushered in a secular holiday, Thanksgiving, with a definitively spiritual experience? What if we could reach into that modern American mythos to find a deeper meaning through a connection to the very spirit that resides within these lands? What if we could celebrate that spirit in a traditional way with the elders of the indigenous populations?
This past weekend, the Sacred Fire Foundation made this a real possibility. In Atlanta, Georgia, the Foundation hosted its annual Ancient Wisdom Rising retreat. The annual event is a gathering of community elders from a across the globe who guard that ancient spirit – the one that emanates from deep within the Earth. Each year, these wisdom keepers come together to share their stories, offer counsel, and demonstrate the ancient traditions that have survived for centuries.
Over the years the retreat has been held in a variety of locations including California, Washington State and New York. This year the event was back on the East Coast. Coming to Georgia, specifically, was a powerful choice for the Foundation because it paved the way for a spiritual and ancestral reunion for one of the visiting elders: Sam Proctor. As written by their Board of directors:
"Almost two centuries since the removal of his People from Georgia, Mr. Sam Proctor, respected Muscogee (Creek) spiritual leader from Oklahoma, returns to the shores of the Chattahoochee River to share his message of peace and time-tested wisdom about a heart-centered way of living." (From Ancient Wisdom Rising, September Newsletter)
After visiting the retreat site near the banks of the Chattahoochee, Mr. Proctor said, "The Ancestors are still here." During the weekend, he shared Muskogee traditions and, with other members of the Muskogee Nation, led a traditional Social Fire Dance welcoming the attendees to the land of his ancestors.
Joining him was Marie Junaluska, a Cherokee elder living in Western North Carolina and Kevin Welch, Cherokee Master Gardener. Their people's ancestral heritage can be traced to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, Western North Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee. Like the Creek, the Cherokee were forcibly removed from Georgia and made to walk the infamous, "Trail of Tears." Despite this painful history, the Cherokee spirit lives on. Ms. Junaluska has been sharing, teaching and passing on the Cherokee culture and traditions for over thirty years. And, Kevin Welch speaks out for the preservation of heirloom plants and growing techniques native to this Southern landscape and the Cherokee people.
In addition, Ancient Wisdom Rising welcomed two other elders from North American indigenous cultures. Grandmother Walking Thunder, a healer and sand painter, shared the spirit of the Dine' Medicine People (Navajo) and her experiences as a medicine woman. Coming from Alaska, Larry Merculieff of the Aleut Peoples shared the Aleutian teachings on the Oneness with Nature and the Great Womb of life. He is a one of the last Aleuts to be fully raised in the traditional way.
Larry Merculieff Speaks:
The Sacred Fire Foundation also invited wisdom keepers from cultures originating outside of the U.S. Sobonfu Some' of the Dagara Peoples of West Africa's Brukina Faso shared the traditions of her people.
From Southern Asian traditions, Marcy Vaughn, a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism and Bon, led a visualization and a talk on compassion. And, Ustad Ghulam Farid Nizami, a Sufi from Pakistan and a 17th generation musician, shared the healing powers of sound and music.
Not everyone has the opportunity to attend a comprehensive inter-spiritual event like this. However, in reading the stories and watching the videos, it is possible to understand why these elders are reaching out to help humanity through their ancient traditions. More importantly, it is possible to understand how their teachings can help us rediscover our own connection to the Earth and benefit our journey, no matter what the path.
Once again, my thoughts return to the secular Thanksgiving – a holiday that focuses on community, compassion, tradition, and natural abundance. Can we re-sculpt the mythos to breathe a new spiritual life into that holiday? The story centers on an indigenous population, the "Indians," teaching the new inhabitants, the Pilgrims, about the land and its creatures. It ends in a peaceful shared community feast that we now replicate every November.
Can we bring the spiritual into the secular? Can we transform this myth to focus on the teachings of the wisdom keepers who strive to bring humanity back into balance with Nature? Can we rededicate Thanksgiving to that ever sacred and shared wisdom that passes effortlessly from hand-to-hand, from drum beat to drum beat, from the heart to the heart through the eternal spirit fires of this wonderful Earth? And what if we did….
An Aside: I realize that there may be some readers who are not well-versed in Native American history, specifically that of the South East, or know much about Thanksgiving. Click on the following links for quick background reads:

Helen Lacey grew up reading Black Beauty, Anne of Green Gables and Little House on The Prairie. These childhood classics inspired her to write her first book when she was seven years old, a story about a girl and her horse. Although, it wasn't until the age of eleven when she read her first Mills & Boon, that she knew writing romances was what she wanted to do with her life. Her parents' love of travel meant she saw much of the world in those early years and she feels fortunate to have had a diverse and interesting education over several continents.
She continued to write into her teens and twenties with the dream of one day being a published author. A few years and careers later, including motel operator, florist, strapper, dog washer, and retail manager, she got the call from Harlequin Special Edition. She loves writing about tortured heroes, both cowboys and CEO's, and heroines who finally get the love of the man of their dreams. She now works part time in her sister's bridal shop, where she gets to meet fascinating people, some of whom might one day end up being in one of her books.
From Welsh parents and a large family, she lives on the east coast of Australia in a small seaside town at the southern most point of The Great Barrier Reef, with her wonderfully supportive husband, many horses and three spoiled dogs.

LRA Encampment To Start
(Uganda's Museveni...peace in Uganda after 20 years?)
There are contradicting comments about whether women and children with the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels will be released. A spokesperson says they won't contrary to earlier remarks by another official.
As the landmark cessation of hostilities agreement between the Uganda government and the LRA in Juba last Saturday went into effect, LRA fighters as well as children and women are expected to assemble at designated points in Southern Sudan, under the close watch of the Sudan People's Liberation Army. LRA delegation spokesman at the ongoing peace talks in the southern Sudanese city of Juba, Obonyo Olweny, said they would only start moving slowly to the designated areas after mobilizing logistics and ensuring all arrangements are in place.
"There are women or children in captivity,� he said, in a telephone interview. "Those children are biological children of the soldiers in the bush and the women are their wives and any separation must be well negotiated and planned by the LRA but it is not a blanket demand.� He also dispelled claims that the LRA leaders and commanders were moving away from Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as reported in the local press. "That is not accurate, I am not aware of that. In any case for any movement to take effect, it has to go through the planning and logistical stages of it.�
His comments contradict a statement previously issued by the head of the LRA peace delegation in Juba, Martin Ojul, indicating arrangements were underway to free women and children. "Children and women cannot be part of the combatants as they move in these places," Ojul said. "We are currently working with the UN and the government of South Sudan to arrange for a separate camp for them in South Sudan."
According to the plan, the LRA fighters in northern Uganda would move to Owiny Ki Bul, in Eastern Equatoria State on the eastern side of the River Nile and those in the DRC at Ri-Kwangba in Western Equatoria State on the western side of River Nile. The LRA have up to three weeks to assemble, according to the deal. The truce has a ceasefire coming into effect on Tuesday.
It also remains to be seen whether the LRA can move to designated locales without incident. Uganda president Yoweri Museveni directed the army to withdraw from its bases in order to implement the agreement. He said if rebels were found outside the mapped out routes to assembly points they should be attacked, according to armed forces Spokesman Maj. Gen Felix Kulaigye while addressing a media briefing at the government's media center in Kampala. "The army has been directed not to shoot at the LRA rebels unless in defense of civilians. The Commander of the Land Forces Maj. Gen Katumba Wamala is in a meeting with division commanders to map out routes heading to Owiny Ki Bul and once these have been mapped out, the message will be sent to them indicating which routes have been earmarked to use.�
He added: "In case a patrol or squad or an individual of the UPDF is attacked, he should repel the attack but we have hope that both sides will indeed respect the ceasefire conditions and if a rebel goes out of the mapped corridors, he shall be dealt with according to the laws of the land, we shall apprehend him and if he resists, we shall use force.�

1,950 people have taken this course
Most of us have been searching for inner peace, hoping that we'll find it in the next book or workshop, or by following the latest greatest teacher. Or we keep waiting for inner peace to arrive: 'When the kids are out of the house.' 'When I retire.' 'When I feel better.' We keep telling ourselves that when our life shows up in a new or different way, then inner peace will finally be ours.
There is a way to live in the world that is more enlightened than this. We can learn to access inner peace now, no matter what is happening in our lives. We can "live well" without worry, fear, and anxiety when life gets tough. By creating powerful new mindsets and using Inner Peace Practices, by consciously choosing new thoughts and feelings, we align ourselves with serenity and joy. Peace can be ours.
Author, Janice Lynne Lundy, admits, for most of her early years, she was not a peaceful woman. In her words, "I inherited worry genes from my father's side of the family and anxiety genes from my mother's. I was a sensitive child who seemed to feel and react to everything!" Over time, she began to suffer from chronic worry and anxiety, which resulted in significant health issues.
After 20 years of study and research, Jan figured out how to turn her life around. Today, she enjoys the greatest health and inner peace she has ever known. In this 8-week program, she will show you how you can do this too! She will share the method she created and has successfully used with hundreds of women around the world to deal with the difficulties of life in an empowered, new way.
In this course you will learn how to:
Each week you will receive a written lesson and 3 audio "Inner Peace Practices" to help you stay centered and serene--even on the most difficult of days. At the end of the course, you will have 24 unique and powerful practices to call upon when you need them the most.
Remember, life will snatch away your grace time and again if you do not have the practices and tools that will keep you calm and cool. Peace of body, mind, heart and soul is your birthright and your destiny. Inner peace is possible, beginning today!
"I've been given the gift of loads of tools and resources to live a more calm, kind, and mindful life. I sleep better, am more calm in my interactions. I treat myself and my husband with a lot more patience and loving-kindness." -Sheryl, Washington
"With love for Jan, for handing me a "flashlight," to a world of love and peace, without struggle, that I have so long wanted to BE. I am so very grateful for her commitment to empowering us all with what she has discovered." -Carol, Connecticut
"I find that I am more at peace at work. I stay calm in my hectic world and I was told today that I am very calming to sit next to. That made me feel good about me!" -Rebecca, Georgia
"I feel more balanced. I feel more at peace. I am more able to sit within myself and listen, and then choose to respond or not, where I used to react. I have learned that I can be a passionate person without drama." -Marla, Virginia
Described as "practical and poetic, possessing deep and gentle wisdom," Dr. Janice Lundy has inspired thousands of people around the world to live with calm, clear minds and wise, compassionate hearts. She is an educator, spiritual director with an interfaith/interspiritual focus, retreat leader, and the author of several personal/spiritual growth books.
Dr. Lundy is the co-founder and co-director of a leading-edge organization that trains spiritual guides (directors) and companions. She has a thriving private, spiritual guidance practice as well.
Dr. Lundy is also the creator of a unique protocol method for compassionate listening that can enhance and deepen one's ability to offer presence to seekers of any tradition.
She enjoys hearing from her students and readers and wishes you well with this course! "May you be at peace in all your endeavors."
Starting today, you will receive a new lesson every week for 8 weeks (total of 8 lessons). Each lesson is yours to keep and you'll be able to refer back to it whenever you want. And if you miss a lesson or are too busy to get to it that day, each lesson will conveniently remain in your account so you won't have to search for it when you're ready to get back to it.
As a free gift, when you sign up for this course, you will also receive the award-winning DailyOM inspiration newsletter which gives you daily inspirational thoughts for a happy, healthy and fulfilling day. We will also let you know about other courses and offers from DailyOM and Dr. Janice L. Lundy that we think you might be interested in.
We are offering this course with the option of selecting how much you want to pay. No matter how much you pay, you'll be getting the same course as everybody else. We simply trust that people are honest and will support the author of the course with whatever they can afford. And if you are not 100% satisfied, we will refund your money.

Welcome Volokh Conspiracy readers! While you're here, give the below "weekend reading" a look – I know many of you will surely have strong opinions about my observations.
Thanks to Professor Randy Barnett for the VC shout. I just finished reading the first part of his book-to-be, Fundamental Rights in the Constitution and very much enjoyed his exploration of the Ninth Amendment's original public meaning.
Also, over the weekend, Professor Orin Kerr, another prominent Conspirator, suggested that I supply some information on how early one must arrive in line at the Court to get a decent chance of getting inside to hear an argument. Here are my preliminary thoughts:
- Be Before 50th: The Court reserves at least fifty seats for the general admission line.
- The "Dogs": From my experience, if you get in line between 7 and 8 for the "dogs"–the technical cases without any newspaper coverage–you'll get in. By "experience," I mean the first oral argument I ever attended, Danforth v. Minnnesota, for which my father and I got in line around 8am, received numbers around 50, and were among the final ones seated inside the Court. Of course, despite no major awareness of Danforth in the news or general public, the case, like all SCOTUS cases, was still massively important for its area of law. Indeed, Prof. Kerr noted Danforth's major legal importance for criminal law and procedure over at VC in November 2007. This week's cases, as far as I can tell, haven't touched any public nerve, so I am taking this week off from the line. I leave it up to the Klingensmiths to tell me otherwise. Still, keep your eyes trained on F1@1F at the 10am hour should Wednesday see the release of Citizens United.
- The "Mid-Majors": Get in line by 6am. Last week's cases exemplify the "mid-major" cases: issues that attract the public's attention without creating a frenzy. Briscoe mattered not as much for its subject matter, but rather for Sotomayor's centrality in the fate of a year-old precedent. Comstock dealt with sex offenders (and, of course, the scope of the Necessary & Proper Clause of the Constitution), who are always interesting subject matter. American Needle fought against the NFL, which sounds cool regardless of the more mind-numbing aspects of antitrust law that really animated the case.
- The "Blockbusters": Get in line before 4am…and that probably won't be good enough. I got in line for the rehearing of Citizens United, also Justice Sotomayor's first oral argument, at 11pm, thinking that there would already be a line at least a dozen people long. There wasn't. I was first. The next batch of people didn't show up until 3:45am. That said, for the super-blockbusters, prepare to eat your previous night's dinner on the First Street sidewalk: friends of mine got in line at 4:30pm on Heller's Eve…they were around 40th. This term's blockbusters–McDonald, Kiyemba, Christian Legal Society, Doe v. Reed—will likely draw its earliest linegoers at varying hours of which I am not yet qualified to predict.
Once again, thank you for coming by F1@1F. Although I will not be reporting from line this week, I will endeavor to keep the content flowing!
