Do you ever use Craigs List to sell/purchase items/services?
I have been finding a few decent deals on Craigs List lately and have been surprised at the quality of the items when I pick them up. There have been times in the past when I went to look at something and it was nothing like the description and I walked. But every now and then you can find a diamond in the rough.
Do you use it?

Craig's List is a great place to find last minute concert tickets for cheap. My wife and I do that for shows that we'd like to see and don't care about where the seats are.
I use it mostly to sell items. Though I have made the occasional purchase. I have a set of dinning rooms chairs up now actually. Interested?
Buy items, yes. Can often find good deals on stuff there, the danger being it often is things I don't really need.
Sell items, mostly no. I generally find that when I post an item I end up attracting the flakiest people in town. One person was coming to my house around five years ago for something I was giving away for free and never arrived. No call, no email, nothing. I gave them a good 3 hours before I gave up and left for dinner (the distance they were covering I could have walked in a half hour).
Buy services, sometimes. The problem though is the self-righteous readers in this area who flag listings just because they can. Hence the success of buying a service is tied in part to the time of day and whether or not people are around to flag it down for auto-removal.
Sell services, I've never tried. However I am unemployed now so I might try it in the future just to bring in some money on the side.
I have bought 1 car and sold 2 cars, and rented my house on Craigslist.
If you believe the former Bradley County Sherriff-turned-East Ridge City Manager Tim Gobble,
"Only perverts use Craigslist."
I use freecycle to give stuff away. I buy and sell on Craigslist. I use Craiglist exclusively for larger stuff, like the king-sized bed I was selling. I post to Craiglist first on smaller stuff before posting on EBay, in the hopes of not having to box stuff up and mail it. Being female increases the security risks for dealing with people on the internet. Unless it's a very large item, I do not share my address and meet the buyer/seller in a neutral spot like a busy store parking lot. If it's something big enough I have to invite them into my home or go to theirs, I have a large guy friend with me. I do all my craigslist business in cash.
@moondrake: I bought some fish from a woman on CL. I get to her house and she is this very small young woman with a small child in the house. I couldn't believe she would invite a stranger to her house just to sell me like $3 worth of fish! The only time I have people come to my house is if the item I'm selling won't fit in my car.
"services"? o_O
I've used it a couple of times to sell large items that weren't easy to ship - old bicycle, couches, tables, etc. But, generally I am not comfortable with having potential buyers come to my home to see the items. Where possible, I will meet with them in a lobby or outdoors (for the bike at least). There are some weird people out there and I'd prefer to limit my exposure to them.
Once in a while. I found a free piano in really solid condition on there once, but my landlord wouldn't let me grab it. I'm going to be moving pretty soon, and I'll definitely be checking CL for any furniture I need. Free sofas are there all the time, and they're usually in pretty good condition. Worst case I can rent a steam cleaner and clean the upholstery. But a free sofa is a free sofa. Tons of other good stuff that tends to be free/ cheap. Especially if you're in/ near a college town.
I have. I bought my car and the majority of the furniture in my house from craigslist.
And I've only been kidnapped twice.
One time a few years ago, I sold an iPod nano on CL. A guy texted me and suggested that we meet in a Target parking lot late at night. I went. I didn't realize until I got there (alone, of course) how dangerous the situation was... I don't think he realized it either, as we both sat in our cars 50 ft away from each other for 10 minutes before one of us went to greet the other. But he bought and I sold and I'm still living...
I haven't bought anything, but have sold some stuff. I had to get rid of a riding lawn mower, fast, due to an unexpected relocation. Put it up for cheap, sold it the next day.
I was able to sell my kayak for a reasonable price also on Craigslist. The guy that bought it had been waiting and waiting for this particular model and was dying to have it. I sold it for a bit less than I otherwise could have got, because I wanted somebody who was going to use it to have it.
You definitely have to take the bad with the good when using CL. Too many "I just sold it....here is how I got it. Try (insert penny-auction site)" replies. You WILL end up on spam email lists. LOTS of scams involving attempts to pay with cashier's check, Paypal, etc.
As long as you stick to the adage "If it is too good to be true, it probably is"...you can get great deals. I bought my car and sold a ton of electronics through CL. ALWAYS deal in person and with cash and whenever possible, do so in a public place away from your home.
Also, if you need a drugged addled prostitute....
Found my current apartment via craigslist a couple years ago. I'm still here so it can't be that bad. ;)
I buy and sell furniture on craigslist, but that's about it. I steer clear of any electronics and things of that nature, in my area craigslist "robberies" are a problem; the criminals are usually "selling or buying" cellphones and tablets. I also never go to buy or sell anything alone, and if I'm at my own home I make sure to prominently display my German Shepherd off leash in the garage, so if anyone is there on a scouting party for free stuff they know they'll have to deal with my dog if they come back to burglarize me.
I was able to grab one of those wooden outdoor playsets for $250, and it was in great condition, I only had to partially disassemble it so setting it back up was as snap. Got a great treadmill for $40 and the cat I posted about needing a name for, was found on CL.
Have sold a car, and lots of electronics. In general, if I am selling something, I meet the person at a neutral site - $tarbucks, etc. I just feel safer. And that's being a big hulking guy. FWIW.
Cash deals are always something of a toss-up, depending on what you are selling. I feel a bit weird walking around with a lot of $$$, and/or someone else knowing I have a lot of $$$.
Have also bought a ton of crap from CL. Everything from toys for my kids to computer parts.
Biggest problem is flaky people - arrange to meet someone and they don't show. Fer cryin' out loud, just call/text/e-mail to say you can't make it!
As far as services, I spent some time working for a friend who had a moving service. He did it solely through CL & word of mouth. He also made a fair amount of $ doing so. And, that was 5+ years ago, so I have no idea what its like now.
I've never gone to CL to obtain services. I usually ask for referrals from people I know. But that's just me.
@dergage: I also bring my 140lb Great Dane with me for backup when I go to the meets. He's a pretty big deterrent to unarmed aggression.
@75grandville: I have found a couple of overnight pet sitters on there. Overnight pet sitters are exceedingly difficult to find. I wish more responsible college students would do it, it's easy money. I check their references before giving them my address, get their address when I give mine and actually check to make sure that is their real address. This is someone I am planning to leave along in my home with my most prized possessions, my pets, so a little informal background check is wise.
I buy used books and resell them. Made an extra $7K last year doin' it, so I'll probably continue with that...
@moondrake: This is completely off topic, but what are your experiences with pet sitters? Been trying to figure out what to do with our three dogs (combined they would equal yours for weight) when we want to go out of town for a couple of days.
A pet sitter seems like the best idea, but no idea how much it costs, etc. One of our dogs is a slightly neurotic 10 YO black lab who is a permanent foster. Former owners surrendered her b/c she is incontinent, and that was only after the vet spent two hours talking them out of having her euthanized. We think she would be pretty traumatized if we tried to take her to a "pet hotel."
Feel free to respond to my gmail account (it is the obvious).
Primarily to sell items that I don't care to ship. Given the insane prices selling on Ebay these days, it's just not fiscally worthwhile to put items up there for private sellers.
(the ebay fee discussion is one I'm sour about).
I do find Craigslist extremely useful to buy small yard-equipment as well. Mowers, Snowblowers, etc. Usually more cost effective to look for lightly used equipment there.
I've had good and bad luck on Criagslist.
My selling experience:
I think the most frustrating one for me, was selling appliances on Craigslist (A 2yr old Refrigerator, and a 5 year old portable dishwasher).
I had like 10 people come and look, and each have some weird reason why they weren't interested.
My prices were super low, and I put photos up on the site... I was surprised none of those people even picked them up for a quick flip and re-list to double their profit.
@75grandville: I called my vet and asked if they had any suggestions for a pet sitter. One of the vet techs actually lived in my town and said she did pet sitting, so that worked out perfectly! She charges $30 a day to stop by twice, I usually ask her to stop three times and give her $50 a day. She is there for about 45 minutes playing with Floyd and letting him do his business. She also leaves a description as to what times she was there and what was done.
Floyd is a 10 year old English Bulldog so I get nervous when we have to leave him alone, but having a vet tech watching him makes us feel MUCH better. I would probably call a couple of local vets and see what/who they suggest.
Good luck!
All told
Buying from Criaglist has treated me pretty well. I offer to meet people at a location that sounds close to where they are - usually a bank parking lot. Make a quick cash exchange, and done.
I both buy and sell on Craigslist. I usually take someone with me when I sell something, and meet them in a public parking lot. I rarely go to someones home, and if I do, I won't go in their house. I'm a female, and I like to think I can hold my own, but I'm not stupid!
Almost everything I've sold I have met someone, just the furniture and the bikes I sold I allowed them to come to my house, but I kept them outside, lol!~ No dog to deter them unfortunatley, but I may start borrowing someones, at least they will think I have a dog! My neighbor would probably let me borrow one of her pits :)
My biggest problem is when I have something listed for say....$50 firm, and someone tries to offer $25! Or...worse, less than half...um, hello, I said FIRM! And, in all caps too!~ Even when I say reasonable offer, they love to offer less than half. In the end, I won't take it, because I vend at flea markets on the side, I know I'll get my money there!
Also, I think we found the MLS for my house there. I think we found my car on CL. I've sold jewelry from an old bf via CL with much success. It's like digging through a thrift store, but once in a while - you come up with perfection, at a great price.
@75grandville: I made us a special thread just for this discussion.
@dergage: It might be a function of what car one wants to sell, but I have never had success selling a car on craigslist. One car that I listed I found that people kept wanting to make atrociously low offers before even seeing the car and the other people kept wanting to trade me things I didn't want (jeeps, snowmobiles, atvs) for it. For that matter with the first car one person looked at it, then offered me 1/3 of what I was asking (which was already well below the market value) and then when I turned him down he sent me an angry email a week later offering even less!
Ultimately I sold both cars through a site that was dedicated to selling that make and model.
@lparsons42: I could see that. I picked up a sweet 91 BMW for a sweet deal. The seller's asking price was more than reasonable (or less?) and I didn't even haggle on it. I went by to look at it, fell in love and brought her the cash the next day. I'm sure selling a car is very hit or miss, but it was a dually beneficial deal in my case.
My wife and I have bought lots of stuff on Craigslist. I prefer not to have people over to my house if I can avoid it, so I've only sold a few things where it's required someone to come here.
I got our kitchen table, bench and chairs on Craigslist a few months back for next to nothing and it was like new. At our old house, I was able to get a used cast-iron bathtub for cheap. I refinished it and saved about $150 vs a new one. I've gotten computer parts in the past as well. It's like a flea market full of good deals because people just want it out of their way.
I sold a 135 gallon aquarium a few years ago and got what I wanted for it. I sold my car last spring and got more than I wanted for it too. The company that manages my rental property used Craigslist to find renters for our house and had it filled within a week.
In the spring, I plan on renting my house out for the Bristol Races by posting on Craigslist.
It's useful if you're careful and stay safe.
Near LAX it's almost all whackos and whackjobs.
I bought one car. The seller was so impressed that I actually brought cash to buy that he gave me a discount. It seems that I was maybe the 12th guy, nobody else was willing to pay cash, and for no more than half the asking price.
I sold a couple cars. Yep. A dozen aholes in a row will want to pay no more than half- and on payments. The current scam is to bring the family, talk religion and new jobs, and then complain that you are making them look bad by not taking this great offer. I'm starting to think that there's a class in this, and how to do quick flips.
There's quite a few asymmetrical women that will offer "massages" in lieu of payments.
Maybe these folk watch reality TV? Where someone is selling a $5k car for $8k, and on camera will negotiate down to $5k? Not in real life, buddy. And it's always cash. Now. Not now? Next!
I still have some nice items for sale. After the first dozen aholes I try again in a month. Or three.
I have only encountered wackos. Don't dare ever put up an advertisement for a garage sale unless you want hate mail. Not only do I get nasty e-mails when items I advertised for sale were gone (sorry folks, first come first serve it's a garage sale!) - but I have people who will e-mail me weeks after the sale asking if I had anything left. This was even AFTER I deleted the post.
Then I sold a copy of "Avengers" #4 (return of Captain America). I got book for it, but the guy now continuously e-mails me asking me to buy it back - going back probably a year when it was at it's peak. Cyber stalkers
Actually working a deal to trade some beers now.
Bought my Xbox 360 Elite from a lady on it for $300 while they where still brand new and $450.
have used craigslist for a lot of transactions, both as the seller and buyer. There ARE plenty of weirdos who'll respond, but in general, i've had good experiences.
Things I've bought:
A twin bed
A Kindle 3 keyboard
A car (2003, 44k miles)
A futon
Things I've sold:
Very happy with Craigslist. It's easy to spot the items that aren't going to stand up to in-person scrutiny. I only bother with posts that have pictures (or people who will send me one) and are reasonably legible.
No transactions here. Living in a semi-remote smallish town my nearest "hub" is an hour drive. I don't bother because I won't drive that far on a gamble.
Yes. I've both bought and sold on there for some years now. I've also found local "garage sale" groups on Facebook, which I've been using quite a bit as well. I've done better with both buying and selling on the Facebook ones, than Craigslist.

I'll be at Intervention7 this September!
We STILL seem to have a RANDOM ARCHIVE GLITCH where clicking on the next comic will take you to the next comic page, but oddly display a comic from a totally different date. Hitting Refresh sometimes helps.
***Fifteen Years of Sluggy Freelance!***
Wow! Fifteen years and still going strong! I can hardly believe it, yet here we are! For the 5th anniversary I did a cool flash animated comic to welcome the return of Zoë as a regular member of the strip, back when Flash was new-ish! For the 10th anniversary I tried to put together a collective celebration of Sluggy Freelance (and in classic 'me-style' never got the durn thing done).
So on this 15th anniversary I must admit I've been stumped on what to do. No time for flash animations or to put together a collective celebration for you. And the tone of the recent strips sure aren't "Zoë's Triumphant Return!" More like "Sasha, how could you?"
So we've got the basic standard animated strip, but with color and heart. Thanks to my wife Rachel for coming up with the idea of having Kiki sing "Fifty" instead of "Fifteen" which made me think of how slipups get exaggerated and can totally burn your career in the Olympics … and there you go.
Whereas accolades are nice, in the end I've always let the comics' quality speak for itself. It seems like it is the only thing in my business that I get right. So I'm not going to go for fanfare* this year. Just the knowledge that here I am, a decade and a half from where Torg and the gang started, still standing proud, and still feeling very, very lucky to be doing this for a living, and feeling very grateful to you all for allowing me to do so, and still enjoying run-on sentences. Thanks to you all!
*And for the record, if I had time in my schedule I would TOTALLY go for fanfare!

The mounting screw on my tripod's quick-release plate is the wrong size (too small) for the female acceptor on the underside of the RD/16. Following, are two photos of the plate. I know that the photos won't afford determination as to what the screw size is, but maybe it will serve to illustrate - to someone from the company - what type of plate I would need to get, when the proper screw size has been learned.

Arise! Arise! The British Are…Acting!
On screens big and small, the juicy Yank parts are going to people with names like Day-Lewis. How to fight back
Daniel Day-Lewis, the son of an English poet laureate and a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, just won his third Academy Award, this one for a stunning performance as Abraham Lincoln. I didn't think twice about a Brit playing our most American of presidents because Mr. Day-Lewis had already been our last Mohican, led our gangs of New York and drained our California oil fields.
But when Ulysses S. Grant appeared in "Lincoln," alarm bells went off: That actor, Jared Harris, played Lane Price, the persnickety Brit in "Mad Men." Don't get me wrong: Mr. Harris is "brilliant" (as his father, Richard Harris, would have said as Professor Dumbledore). But have we come to this—an Englishman playing not only our finest president but also our finest drunk?
The truth is that British actors are quietly taking the best roles away from Americans with all the effort of picking raisins from a scone.
We have long been comfortable with our villains snapping off dire threats in the King's English. Jeremy Irons, Alan Rickman and Malcolm McDowell are the founding members of this club. But now that the Brits are hoovering up our actual American icons, I must protest.
Whom do we call to turn back those Virgin Atlantic flights filled with actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company? Not Batman or Spider-Man—both are now played by Englishmen. Surely Superman will come to the rescue? Sorry, the new Man of Steel, Henry Cavill, is fighting for Truth, Justice and the British crown dependency Isle of Jersey—his home planet.
Even television dramas—once the gridiron of profoundly American actors like James Garner, Tom Selleck and James Gandolfini—have succumbed to a Queen's Guard: Stephen Moyer on "True Blood," Josh Bowman on "Revenge," Charlie Hunnam on "Sons of Anarchy." Last year's Emmy winner, Damian Lewis, plays a U.S. Marine hero harboring secrets on "Homeland": He's also hiding the fact that he's the grandson of the lord mayor of London.
Three stars on "The Walking Dead"— Andrew Lincoln, David Morrissey and Lauren Cohan—honed their Georgia drawls in the U.K. But surely "Andrew Lincoln" is an American name? Sadly, this rail-splitter was born in London as Andrew Clutterbuck. The only more Dickensian name on screen today is Benedict Cumberbatch—who will play an Oklahoman in the movie version of "August: Osage County."
Our poor Americans are even getting their arses handed to them by the U.K.'s former penal colony. From Simon Baker to Poppy Montgomery, Aussies are pinching network roles as well. Even Steve McGarrett on the new "Hawaii Five-0"—an American TV icon if ever there was one—is played by Sydney native Alex O'Loughlin.
Why is this happening? In the casting office, Hollywood producers are seduced by actors who toss off chitchat in beautiful English accents. The Brit walks in saying, "I don't mean to whinge, but traffic on the 405 was beastly," and then flawlessly shifts into his Royal Academy-trained American accent. The subconscious message is that underneath this stoic zombie hunter flows a river of complexity and charm. "Cheers!" he says, departing under a faint whiff of Earl Grey—and our folks are gobsmacked.
How do we fight back? It's up to the handful of remaining American stars to win this revolution. We need them to leave behind their huge salaries and SoulCycle classes in Los Angeles and head to the U.K. to nick iconic English roles. Brad Pitt is starting to develop the jowls to play Winston Churchill. Let's slap some foundation on Angelina Jolie's tattoos and give her a go at Queen Victoria. Show us Adam Sandler's Hamlet, Tina Fey's Jane Eyre and Matthew McConaughey's Martin Chuzzlewit.
Finally, the day may come when a Mark Wahlberg or a Paul Rudd or a The Rock is cast as James Bond. Then Prince William, as head of the British Academy of Film, will have no choice but to call his Yankee counterpart and ask for a truce: Brits will be played by Brits, Americans by Americans.
But the clock is ticking. The truce must arrive before a movie is made about President Barack Obama. Our casting directors will surely be tempted by Idris Elba, the fine actor who played a Baltimore drug lord on "The Wire," but who hails from East London. Or by David Harewood, the CIA counterterrorism boss in "Homeland," who's actually a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
Hurry to England, American stars! Your president and nation need you.
—Mr. LaZebnik is a writer on "The Simpsons."

Wrestling Suffers Home Setback to UNC PembrokeFebruary 6, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – After Anderson University wrestling took an 11-6 lead with a forfeit and a technical fall, the Trojans were unable put any more points on the scoreboard, falling 47-11 to UNC Pembroke Thursday evening at the Abney Athletic Center.
With the win, the Braves reclaim the coveted "Battle for the Belt" award and take it back to the Tar Heel State for the eighth straight season and 21st time in the all-time series.
Redshirt senior Cory Monteforte earned the first points for Anderson on the night after he was awarded a forfeit at 125. With the victory, Monteforte, who was celebrating his senior night, is now 9-12 for the season.
Sophomore Zak Hale continued the winning trend at 133, as the Shaftsbury, Vt. native cruised to a 15-0 technical fall at the 5:05 mark. For Hale, the five points was his first technical fall of the season as he improves to 17-4.
UNCP controlled the remainder of the dual, claiming wins in every remaining weight class and earning its eighth straight dual victory and 10th overall.
"I was extremely disappointed with the effort tonight," Anderson head coach Dock Kelly said. "I expect the guys to come out and wrestle on a high level, especially on Senior Night. We put in too much work during the week not to come out and execute at a high level. There is not much time left in hourglass of the season and so the guys must wrestle with a desperate sense of urgency. The regional tournament is approaching quickly and there will be no excuses for not wrestling well."
The Trojans will step away from their dual schedule on Saturday when they head back to Newberry for the Newberry Open. Up to six Trojans will look to capture wins in the annual one-day tournament.

School Of Arts {Tutoring RP for RP newbies ONLY} -
If you've just clicked on this topic, you're probably wondering what this RP is all about. Well, I'll tell you. This is a place where anyone who's progressed past the
Newbies RP
can come and try out their character and learn how to RP properly with said character. I, along with the more experienced RPers, will not be joining the RP but will instead be looking in on the RP in order to instruct the players on the art of RPing. If you wish to join this RP, then you must have already posted on the Newbies RP and been given permission by myself to post here. Please don't post here unless this is the case, as this is the next step up from the Newbies RP, not the same as. Anyone who joins this RP must abide by the following rules:
1. Abide by the RPG Forum rules. They can be found here:
Before posting a new RP, Read This First!
2. Use the following form in order to present your character:
(please make it 14-16)
(Must have three min.)
(No more than three)
Please put some thought into your character. Don't just throw in three weaknesses that either don't mesh with each other or with the strengths, or don't make sense. Also, use the Bio part to describe your character, but please don't spend too much time on physical appearence as it really doesn't matter overmuch. Personality description is far more important. Flesh out your character; don't just post the bare bones. Make your character into a real person.
3. Use correct writing skills; that is, no chatspeak, 1337 or KrAzY. Also please make an effort to spell properly and use correct grammar. I understand that everyone makes mistakes occasionally, but making a post that's chock full of grammar and spelling mistakes is ridiculous. Also, don't drop the dummy if you are criticised about your character and/or posting style. Just make the changes requested; no-one is being mean, they are trying to help you.
4. Don't spam in the RP or use it to chat. If you have a question you would like to ask, then put Ooc: in front of it. Don't argue with other players. If you feel that a player is breaking rules, then PM me about it, DON'T start a flame war in the RP. Anyone found doing this will be barred from it.
5. Finally, please don't take over the RP for your own ends. The last Tutoring RP had to be locked cuz a core group of people had taken the RP over, excluding any new people who might have wanted to join. If you feel as tho you are ready to RP properly, then rather than take over the Tutoring RP, I suggest you either start your own, or join one of the open RPs. The full list of which RPs are open to new people is here:
RPG Categories, Availability And Which RPs Are Open To New Members.
Anyone I see who is treating the Tutoring RP as their own personal playground will be first warned, then if they continue to disregard this rule, barred from the RP.
Here is the premis that everyone who joins this RP will RP one. This RP, like the Newbies RP, is not categorised so therefore does not have an extensive plot. But if you start your own, you will need to follow the rules laid out in the stickies.
The school of art in downtown New York City has started a new year. The new freshman are excited to have been accepted, and you are one of them. You come from around the world and from different lifestyles. This year, the students will learn dance, acting and classical music. Of course, after school activities will pop up later on. Which clique do you belong to? Do you have a career in mind? Do you devote yourself exclusively to one subject, or do you dabble? Will you find love at the school, or devote yourself to your future career? The possibilities are endless.
One more thing... Mary Sues/Gary Stus are strictly forbidden. Here's a little information about these creatures:
Mary Sue and other character atrocities.
Before we move on to Mary Sue, first let me list a few more character atrocities.
1. A thin character.
No, that does not mean a skinny character, just one that has no detail whatsoever. For example, just name, age and a power description. A character bio must contain a personality description, listing both good and bad points.
2. A character with just a picture as a description.
If you use a picture as an appearence reference, then that's fine; just remember that you must also include a paragraph on personality. I cannot stress this enough.
3. A character that doesn't interact.
There is no point whatsoever in joining an RP if you're just going to go your own sweet way and not interact with the other players.
Finally, we get on to Mary Sue. If you are unsure about whether your character is a Mary Sue or not, then PM me your character form and I will tell you. The main characteristics of a Mary Sue are listed below:
1. Pointlessly flowery description.
For example; "Her hair was golden like the sun shining on ripening wheat." Completely unnecessary.
2. Perfect in every way.
Only Mary Poppins is "practically perfect in every way." Anyone else who has no faults is a Mary Sue. Faults are things like bad temper, laziness, greed, clumsiness. NOT "she was so beautiful all the girls were jealous." X_x Also, do not list a character's strengths as "everything." They must have power or school weaknesses, cuz everyone does.
3. Being the girlf of a canon character.
This applies to RPs that are based on TV, anime, or books. Just don't. If in the canon two characters are boyf and girlf, you stick to that. You can play the girlf, but don't change her character to fit your own. Which leads us on to...
4. Makes canon characters behave out of character.
Don't do this. If you can't do this, then make an original RP instead.
5. Constantly bangs on about her tragic past.
No-one's saying you can't have a character with past tragedy, just don't have them constantly bring it up, unless it pertains to the RP. Also, your character can not be the focus of the RP, or be the main character.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

First off this thread is made so that people can post there decks and how well does by win to loss. Maube even post what counters the decks that you know of. But, I also want this thread to help people with deck issues or problems. So in the end this thread will help, and show off your amazing decks and ideas. BUT WAIT this sounds like a perfect idea as you're reading and may already be thinking about a new deck or existing deck to post. Sadly this thread will not go far with just me and maybe one other person. So i know on a daily bases 500 people are loged on to eredan on kongregate. So lets try to get 100 people to post decks and ideas while helping them out to. So all i ask of you is to activly come to this thread and if you like the idead a lot show love and spread the word. I a bit of a noob to this game but if you give me time i can help people out as well and might even be asking help from you guys!

We have discussed important hydration tips in other blog posts, so now let's address a common question I receive as a sport dietitian – which is better: sports drinks (Gatorade, Powerade, etc.) or energy drinks (Red Bull, Monster, etc.)?

Today Bus D made their way to Amarillo, Texas. On the way to their destination the group stopped at the Cadillac Ranch, a stop on the side of the road with old Cadillac cars jutting up from the ground which people who pass by frequently sign or spray-paint. After adding their names and some of their own designs the group continued on to their destination. When they arrived, Bus D visited Elkins Ranch in the Palo Duro canyon, America's second largest canyon. While in the canyon the group took a Jeep tour, a truly amazing experience! In the evening the wheelniks saw a performance of the Texas Legacy show which included fireworks, horses and cowboys and told the history of the Lone Star State.

Trivially $n^1=n^1$, and everyone knows that $3^2+4^2=5^2$. Denis Serre quoted $3^3+4^3+5^3=6^3$ in a recent MathOverflow question (which prompted this one). Are any other examples known?
There is a good discussion at http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath147.htm along with some nice examples, e.g., $6^3 + 7^3 + \dots + 69^3 = 180^3$, $1134^3 + \dots + 2133^3 = 16830^3$, which apparently are part of an infinite family (starting with $3^3+4^3+5^3=6^3$). There is a table of sums of consecutive cubes equal to a cube, not coming from this infinite family. The author of this page (Kevin Brown, if I'm not mistaken) writes, "If we go on to consider sums of higher powers, it appears that there are no sums of two or more consecutive 4th powers equal to a 4th power, or in general sums of two or more consecutive $n$th powers equal to an $n$th power for any $n\gt3$. Can anyone supply a proof, reference, or counter-example?"
I suspect that any proof will be too big too fit in the margin.
Let S be the set of integers k such that there exists a sequence of k consecutive squares whose sum is a square. According to the paper "Squares Expressible as Sum of Consecutive Squares" by L. Beekmans, S is known to be infinite and density 0; the citation is to problem 6552 in the American Math Monthly.
If F(x) is the sum of the first x squares, then you are really asking about integral solutions to the Diophantine equation
(*) F(x) - F(y) = z^2
which is a double cover of the plane branched at a cubic curve (Even a reducible cubic curve, since x-y | F(x) - F(y).) Heuristically, you would expect about N^{1/2} solutions as x and y range over a box of size N. It would be interesting to ask:
a) whether the geometry of this surface is so easy to describe that you can say something about its integral points; and
b) whether (*) has a solution in polynomials in one variable (or, what's the same -- does the surface contain an affine line?)
Well, if we consider n consecutive 4th powers with initial a,
F(a,n) = a^4 + (a+1)^4 + (a+2)^4 + ... + (a+n-1)^4
or, equivalently,
F(a,n) = (n/30)(-1+30a^2-60a^3+30a^4+30a(1-3a+2a^2)n+10(1-6a+6a^2)n^2+(-15+30a)n^3+6n^4)
it is easy to check that F(a,n) = y^4 (or even just y^2) has NO solution in the positive integers with BOTH {a,*n*} < 1000, with the exception of the trivial n = 1. (I had checked this with Mathematica some time back.)
If we relax your question and allow n 4th powers in arithmetic progression d equal to some kth power, then the smallest I found was 64 4th powers with common difference d = 2 starting with,
29^4 + 31^4 + 33^4 + ... + 155^4 = 96104^2
P.S. The closed-form formula for general d is available, but I find it too tedious to include in this post.
There are 126 pairs $i\lt x\le 1000$ such that $i^2+(i+1)^2+...+x^2$ is a square. If you fix $i$ then the sum $i^2+...+x^2$ is a cubic polynomial $f_i(x)$ in $x$. So you are looking for integer points on the elliptic curve $y^2=f_i(x)$. For example for $i=3$, the first of these are $(4,5), (580, 8075), (963,17267)$. I hope number theorists here can give more information. See also the comment by JSE below.
J. C. Ottem's example $1^2 + ... + 24^2 = 70^2$ in the comments is of particular mathematical interest; it is one way to construct the Leech lattice, and is therefore somehow mysteriously related to other appearances of the number $24$ in mathematics (see, e.g. John Baez's thoughts).
While browsing the site http://sites.google.com/site/tpiezas/Home mentioned in the comments above, I found this on the page for cubes:
"There are many particular cubic equations with this property, one of which is $9^3+13^3+19^3+23^3 = 28^3, (9+23 = 13+19) as well as those in a nice arithmetic progression like,
11^3+12^3+13^3+14^3 = 20^3
31^3+33^3+35^3+37^3+39^3+41^3 = 66^3" .
You might ask Mr. Piezas directly for more examples.

Author and music faculty member Allen Shawn discussed his newly released memoir Twin this week on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross.
The book, which was recently excerpted in The New York Times, offers a poignant reflection on the inextricable bond and life-defining relationship Shawn has shared with his autistic twin sister, Mary, who was placed in an institution for the mentally disabled at the age of eight.
"It wasn't until I reached late middle age that I could even begin to acknowledge that being Mary's twin was a central fact, perhaps the central fact, of my life," Shawn writes. "All I did feel was a kind of blank place inside, where memories and feelings should have been."
Listen to Shawn's interview below.

Baking Upside Down
I'd never given much thought to the possibility of him camping out in the breech position, because apparently it's pretty uncommon.
Which, um, hello?
Is exactly why I should have assumed it would happen to me.
Lately we've had the most beautiful weather and I've been outside a lot, walking and running and blasting the Ipod to National Public Radio.
You know. Happy stuff.
But other stuff, too.
Like contractions. Loads of contractions.
I pretty much do my best to ignore and run through them, because I so prefer a pretty day out and about to (yet another) private pukefest, and moving seems to limit the nausea.
Not only that, but I figured if I somehow threw myself into early labor whilst listening to Diane Rehm, well, then that would be a bonus.
Can you believe I just wrote that out loud?
What kind of heinous mother am I???
More shocking, though, is that my sixty inch frame has not spontaneously burst into a ball of flames or split right down the middle like a cracking egg. I don't expect you to understand how tight things are getting around here, but torso real estate has been extremely limited for months now, which explains why my stomach has recently reached the far Western regions of the Pacific Standard Time Zone.
On the flip side, after discovering the whole breech thing the other day, I found myself thanking my lucky stars that these have only been practice rounds and not The Big Show. The doctor explained all of the risks and concerns and percentages of carrying breech at this point ...yada, yada, yada... which I hadn't even bothered reading about in the baby books, because the chances of it happening to us were, like, nil. Basically, we won the lotto. If the lotto was an upside down cake in the form of a fetus. With man parts. Anyway. He told me that this is a game changer, and that should I go into labor, I need to ixnay my original plan of watching Jersey Shore reruns for six or seven hours before going to the hospital. Not even six or seven minutes, not even the opening where JWoww talks about ripping heads off of the men that she sleeps with.
Hospital. Pronto. Period.
I'm still processing what this means, but it's put the scare in me. I mean, I'm continuing to live my life, working out full speed ahead and moving forward with plans to The Lake House, but I'm much more cautious, and more than a little nervous. Andrew is too, and he now insists on being by my side for ev.e.ry.thing. from running to taking out the garbage to Ohmygod, that was a contraction wasn't it? Are you okay? Can you hear me? Is there a foot hanging out?!
No, honey, I just had to burp.
Pregnancy is beautiful.

I have been worried/wondering how you are and what has happened so far..
Now I know :(
It is not terrible, just not what you planned.
But the outcome is the same, that beautiful baby boy who will be like no other and will always hold your heart in his little hand.
Forgive me for laughing when I read this, your sense of humor will save the day for you .. many times.
much love, C

Kelly -
Both my babies were breech - one a footling which put me on bed rest. And while it IS scary as hell, modern medicine is a wonderful thing and both my babies are perfectly healthy and your little Aston will be too:) I had two versions, neither of which worked, but both of which DID put me into early labor. Is your doc trying to talk you into that?
Hang in there - you're almost at the finish line!!

deb, i would love if you'd share more about your experiences. did you try to deliver or have scheduled c-sections? did the doctor try to turn them? anything you can share is appreciated!

I hope the little guy decides to do a swan dive for you soon, you deserve an easy labor after the pregnancy you've had. And you're not a heinous mother, every pregnant woman hopes she'll deliver early!

Hi there. I came across your blog via Jeremy and Kathleen. I really enjoy reading it (love your sense of humor), but as it goes, I have yet to comment.
I couldn't resist this time. I just wanted to let you know that my second child (Eleanor, who will turn 2 next month) was breech at around 36 weeks. I began seeing a chiropractor who specializes in the Webster Technique. I was a bit hesitant because I imagined some barbaric technique that involved twisting and turning my large (very large) stomach in uncomfortable ways. It was quite the opposite!
My visits with her were actually the most relaxing portions of my days. She used a very gentle touch (like with a few fingers) around my lower abdomen/hip area. Sort of a very light massage. (Fully clothed, by the way!). Then, she used her special table to sway my legs back and forth. (And oh my! did that feel absolutely amazing!). She did very mild adjustments on my lower back, but not by pressing, simply by clicking her table into a lower position.
The theory is that if your hip is out of place (which due to the relaxin hormone + baby-carrying, is very possible), it can cause a pull on the uterus, making less room down low, which in turn motivates the baby to turn breech to have a more comfortable position and more head-room.
Of course we'll never know for sure, but...I had gone to the OB one afternoon, found out she was breech then went to the Chiro that evening. That night I was at home in the bathtub (where I lived at that point), and I saw/majorly felt her flip! The following week, my doctor confirmed the flip, via ultrasound. Unfortunately for me, I had (still have) a stubborn baby, and she flipped twice more between 36-39 weeks. Each time I saw the Chiro when she had turned back to breech position, my hip was out of place again. In addition, following each visit with her, Eleanor flipped back into head-down either that evening or the next day.
She ended up head-down, and I had a successful natural birth. My Chiro said that she's had complete success with all of the moms she's worked with, with the exception of one who came in past her due date hoping for a miracle. Also, I was her only patient whose baby continued turning back into breech position (I had lower back/hip issues to begin with, from my first pregnancy). Typically for my Chiro, once the baby goes head-down, it stays.
With all of that being said, my best friend also had a breech baby, a few months after I did. She did not try chiropractic, and rather went in for the 'turning procedure' that the OB's sometimes perform. Not to be scary, but it was not a pleasant experience, to say the least. And it didn't work. Her baby didn't turn, and after two natural births she had a c-section, with a longer recovery period, with her third.
Gaw...I totally feel like one of 'those' moms, handing out parenting advice like it's free chocolate. So sorry that this is your first impression of me, eeek! I usually don't post things like this. I am just so grateful for this procedure, that I tell everyone I know. Even old guys and dogs. Who, obviously, have no idea what I'm talking about.
Very best wishes to you!!
P.S. Maybe your husband should shout 'Cabs ah heah!' as you're leaving the house in labor. Because that would make for an awesome experience regardless.
- March 17, 2012 at 2:19 AM
- Tasha said...
After the world's longest comment...I'm still going. Oy vey.
Just wanted to add that I felt SO MUCH more comfortable after she turned head-down. Like, night and day difference.

- Lisa @ Trapped In North Jersey said...
There is a website called www.spinningbabies.com that has exercises you can do to try and encourage the baby to turn. I also highly recommend the Webster technique with a qualified chiro (I used it with my second pregnancy, although I didn't have a breech.)

I have an image of little Aston treating your ribs like monkey bars. Sending good vibes your way - hope everything is okay.
- March 18, 2012 at 8:48 AM
- Jenny @ Anything Pretty said...
That stinks! I was convinced my little one was breech because how far his butt was implanted in my lungs, so I can only imagine the pressure of the real thing. I hope he turns, but either way the light is at the end of the tunnel.
And you look great. A pregnant person can not hear that enough so I just wanted to say it again.
- March 18, 2012 at 7:45 PM
- Hallie (ChasingHallie) said...
I also highly recommend the Webster technique by a trained chiropractor. It can get your baby in the correct position and your body better prepared for labor. I had treatment for the last 3 months of my pregnancy and had a 3 hour labor...my body was primed and ready!
Hoping for the best for you and baby!
- March 18, 2012 at 9:04 PM
- The Brick Cottage said...
Oh man, that stinks. There is still time for him to turn but sheesh, he is cutting it close. I second the rec about visiting a chiro. My sister in law had a home birth and a chiro helped get her baby to turn. Also, check out spinningbabies.com. There's a variety of exercises that encourage the baby to turn (something about baby's head being heavy so in certain positions, the baby has no choice but to follow his head). Good luck to you! I know the end of pregnancy is so hard. You look beautiful--such a pretty pregnant mama!

Boxer Richar Abril retains WBA title against Bogere
Richar Abril protected his WBA lightweight title with a common decision against Sharif Bogere. Bogere turned the bout into a clash early, pressing onward to get inside and frustrate the taller Abril. Abril was enforced to wrap up Bogere in defense and both fighters fall to canvass more than once during the fight.
Abril was come in one point in the eighth round for holding and Bogere was fine one point in the 12th for leading with his head. "I don't like combating dirty fighters and I lost my concentration," Abril said. "I thought I won the fight even though it wasn't clean." An accidental head-butt opened up a large wound over the right eye of Abril in the sixth round which seemed to boost both boxers and sway the force toward the champion.

Plaque is a sticky substance that collects around and between teeth. The home dental plaque identification test shows where plaque builds up. This helps you know how well you are brushing and flossing your teeth.
Plaque is the major cause of tooth decay and gum disease (gingivitis). It is hard to see with the naked eye because it is whitish colored, like teeth.
There are two ways to perform this test.
In the office, dentists are often able to detect plaque through a thorough exam with dental tools.
Brush and floss your teeth thoroughly.
Your mouth may feel slightly dried out after use of the dye.
The test is performed to help identify missed plaque and improve brushing and flossing of the teeth so that areas of plaque are not left. If the plaque is not removed, it can cause tooth decay or cause the gums to bleed easily (gingivitis) and become red or swollen.
No plaque or food debris will be seen on the teeth.
The tablets will stain areas of plaque dark-red.
The plaque light solution will color the plaque a brilliant orange-yellow.
The colored areas show where the brushing and flossing have missed. These areas need to be brushed again to get rid of the stained plaque.
There are no risks.
The tablets may cause a temporary pink coloring of the lips and cheeks. They may color the mouth and tongue red. Dentists suggest using them at night so that the color will be gone by morning.

Typeface Documentary Screens at Museum
Making Faces, a film by Richard Kegler documenting the lost art of pantographic type making will be screened twice—at 7:00 and again at 9:00 pm, with a Q & A session with the filmmaker after each showing (doors open 30 minutes prior to each showing). The 45-minute film details the working process of the late Jim Rimmer as he designs and casts the font Stern, the only type font ever to have been released in both electronic and metal versions simultaneously. The font is a commemoration of the fine printer and type caster C. Christopher Stern, of Sedro-Woolley, Washington.
The showing is a fundraiser for the C.C. Stern Type Foundry, a non-profit working museum of type casting in Portland, Oregon.
Tickets are $8 at the door (cash or card only), first come first served. Doors at 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm, and admission includes one drink ticket. Snacks are complimentary.

A Celebration of Life for Joan Shipley
PNCA hosts a gathering on Tuesday, October 25, 5:30–7:30 pm in the Swigert Commons, to celebrate the life and works of Joan Shipley. Join us as we honor her for her unfailing support for the arts community.
Philip Iosca's "Hopefully I Become the Universe" receives acclaim
Making his debut solo exhibition, local artist/designer/poet Philip Iosca presents a touching collection of new works entitled HOPEFULLY I BECOME THE UNIVERSE in the Manuel Izquierdo Gallery. This work, in what critics such as Jeff Jahn at PORT have said is "powerful, restrained and ultimately heartbreaking," is inspired by seven extraordinary young men from across the United States who independently and tragically ended their lives between July 9 and September 29, 2010 as a result of bullying they received for being openly gay or perceived as being gay.
Jahn writes "[t]he resulting effort is probably the most emotionally moving visual art exhibition I've encountered since moving to Portland 11+ years ago. I've never seen anyone tear up at an art show, like I observed at the opening on First Thursday, but that is an indication of the strength of this show. It is truly beautiful, very well considered and deeply sad memento mori." Go here to read Jahn's review. HOPEFULLY I BECOME THE UNIVERSE is up until Thursday October 27.
Philip Iosca is a visual artist, award-winning designer and occasional poet. Most recently he published a book of poems entitled Ballad of the Sad Young Men with Publication Studio. Previous exhibitions include Watersports at 12128, curated by Sam Korman; Everything Matter All the Time at The Cleaners at Ace Hotel, curated by Azsa West; Catch All at PDX Across The Hall; Amsterdam Biennale, curated by Matthew Stadler and Publication Studio in Amsterdam and Portland; as well as an invisible monument for Car Hole Gallery last summer.
Richard Heinberg lectures on "The End of Growth"
As part of the MFA in Collaborative Design, Richard Heinberg, author and Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute, speaks about the "new normal" in economic growth, on Friday October 21 in the Swigert Commons.
His book The End of Growth: Adapting to our New Economic Reality argues a heavy diagnosis: humanity has reached a fundamental turning point in our economic history. The expansionary trajectory of industrial civilization is colliding with non-negotiable natural limits.
Will the convergence of financial instability, the end of cheap oil, and climate change usher in an era of contraction? In other words, do we have to adapt to a "new normal"? Traditional economic growth is not the best measure of human health and welfare. How might we pursue improvements in education, the arts, health, well-being, freedom, and happiness without depending upon ever-expanding consumption? What does a transition to a new economy look like that doesn't depend on a model of growth based on cheap energy, reckless consumption and financial speculation?
Richard Heinberg is a Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute and is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost Peak Oil educators. He is the author of ten books including: End of Growth (August 2011), The Post Carbon Reader (2010) (editor), Blackout: Coal, Climate, and the Last Energy Crisis (2009), Peak Everything: Waking Up to the Century of Declines (2007), The Oil Depletion Protocol: A Plan to Avert Oil Wars, and Powerdown: Options & Actions for a Post-Carbon World (2004).
This event is co-sponsored by Illahee.

Tom Prochaska Exhibition Marks Final Year of Teaching at PNCA
On October's First Thursday, the Froelick Gallery opens At Last, an exhibition of PNCA faculty member Tom Prochaska's black and white oil paintings. The exhibition marks not only Prochaska's 40 year career as an artist but also comes at the conclusion of his 23 years as a faculty member at the College. The Gallery's website calls the body of work "the result of a visual search in which the artist explores the basic interaction between medium and surface, applying strong foundational elements of value and form in what is firstly an exercise in masterful composition and expressive markmaking. Prochaska considers the works in At Last to be the pinnacle of his more than 40 career as an artist; the truest expression of the art he aspires to create."
PNCA faculty member Tom Prochaska joined the College's Printmaking Department in 1988 and is retiring this year—along with Printmaking Department Chair Christy Wyckoff who has taught at PNCA since 1978.
Faculty Member David Eckard's Midcareer Exhibition
David Eckard: Deployment is a midcareer survey that covers 20 years of the artist's career with over 40 artworks, including new paintings, sculpture and performances, and a selection of past sculptures, drawings and documentation. The exhibition, at Marylhurst's Art Gym through December 11, is accompanied by a catalog with an essay by fellow PNCA faculty and artist and writer Daniel Duford. Included in the catalog are illustrations of more than 60 of the artist's artworks, many of which no longer exist or existed only briefly in installations or as props for performance. David Eckard: Deployment is part of Portland's 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Bonnie Bronson Fellowships—which includes an retrospective exhibition on the PNCA Campus of Bonnie Bronson's work.
In 2010, David Eckard received the Bronson Fellowship. The artist has received a number of prestigious awards including the Artist Trust Fellowship (Seattle, Washington, 1998), the Bonnie Bronson Fellowship (Portland, Oregon, 2010) and the Ford Family Foundation's Hallie Ford Fellowship in the Visual Arts award (Roseburg, Oregon, 2010). David Eckard will also perform at numerous locations in the Portland metro area this fall, he performed his new work ©ardiff at the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art's TBA festival in September. This is followed by performances of ©ardiff or other works at Lewis & Clark College, Marylhurst University, Reed College and the Pacific Northwest College of Art.
The Art Gym is also collaborating with White Box at the University of Oregon in Portland on a satellite exhibition focusing on 2D work—paintings, drawings and video. David Eckard: The White Box Deployment continues through Saturday, November 12.

The election season that we have just come through was, by most accounts, one of the most brutal in memory.
Yet, when all the dust had settled early Wednesday morning, we learned that area voters were happy with the work of their elected officials.
In Jefferson County, for instance, incumbent commissioners Dave Maple and Tom Gentile held off spirited challengers to earn re-election to their positions.
At the state level, state Sen. Lou Gentile was elected to a full term in Ohio's 30th Senate District, holding onto the seat he was appointed to 11 months ago. During his tenure in the state House and Senate, the Steubenville Democrat has built a reputation of being able to work across party lines to get things done in Columbus, and we're confident he will continue to represent our area well.
Also winning re-election was U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson. The Marietta Republican has represented Ohio's 6th Congressional District well during his first two years in office, and said early Wednesday that he was ready to take on the challenges that will await Congress when it reconvenes.
Residents of Steubenville, meanwhile, showed that they continue to support the services provided by the city when they once again renewed the 5-mill services levy.
Troubling, though, was that voters once again said no to much-needed levies in the Indian Creek, Edison and Buckeye local school districts, as well at the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School. The results mean administrators will have to continue their struggles to provide quality education in facilities that are becoming less adequate with each passing year.
On the national level, we are encouraged by re-elected President Barack Obama's willingness to reach out and make the "difficult compromises needed to move this country forward." We also are mindful of the words of the president's Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, who said in his concession speech, "At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bickering. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the peoples' work." The next few weeks will reveal whether Obama's comments Tuesday night were a reflection of a real change in attitude or merely rhetoric meant to make those who voted against him feel better about the election outcome.
While we know that not everyone who voted Tuesday was happy with the way things turned out, we know that all who traveled to the polls or who cast an early ballot can feel good that they participated in the election process.
They were among the 66 percent of registered voters in Jefferson County who choose to make the democratic process work, and they are to be commended for their efforts.

12 Bizarre True Stories Behind Famous Band Names
Picking a band name has got to be a pretty hard thing to do. Once set, it will label you and all your actions for the rest of your career. If you get tired of it you won't be able to simply toss it out the window on a dusty desert highway--at least not without repercussions. Music critics agree that this is one way in which a band name is a lot like a sack of kittens.
Today, in honor of our article's sponsor 311 (whose name came from a naked encounter with Omaha police) we examine how some of the most famous bands in the world got their names. We'd have opened it up to less famous bands, but it turns out most of those are named after semen (and after about five hours of wading through that, the research department got kind of prickly).
#12. Pearl Jam
The boys in Pearl Jam have floated a couple suggestions for the origination of their band name. It was either based on the famous peyote jam made by Eddie Vedder's great grandmother, Pearl. Alternately, it may have derived from the nickname of NBA star Mookie Blaylock. Or they picked Pearl because it sounded cool, and added Jam on the end, like musicians do when they're playing around musically.
Another version, as explained by Vedder himself, stems from how pearls are created. "The name is in reference to the pearl itself ... and the natural process from which a pearl comes from. Basically, taking excrement or waste and turning it into something beautiful." Aside from probably being a retcon, this represents a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of how pearl's are made, in that they don't shit in their mouths. Still, nice try Eddie.
Notable by its absence in any of these official explanations is how Pearl Jam is a euphemism for man marmalade, which is itself a euphemism for something else. We tend to believe Vedder's repeated denials of this explanation for the name's origins, if only because we think it's hilarious to think he accidentally named his band after spunk.
#11. Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode is an English electronic band formed in the 1980s. Hugely popular around the world, they've had only modest success in the states, primarily because American's have generally been resistant to electronic genres, preferring simpler songs about being hot for teacher.
The name Depeche Mode translates to "Fashion Dispatch" in French, which is unsurprising, seeing as the band stole the name from a French fashion magazine. That sounds like another pretty good way to limit your appeal to the American audience, given how despised the French, fashion and reading are over here. However, after researching this a bit and examining what the French magazine industry actually has to offer, we've changed our mind: French magazines are awesome.
If you're not familiar with KISS, they are the rock band with the painted faces--sort of like a loud and unsettling circus.
Famously, rumors have circulated that KISS stands for "Knights In Satan's Service." The band has consistently denied this however, rightly pointing out that the band isn't comprised of agents of evil so much as ridiculous, ridiculous men. The true story, according to Paul Stanley, is that they chose the name KISS because it "just sounded dangerous and sexy at the same time." Kissing is generally considered one of the least dangerous activities ever invented (it's right after hand washing) so we're going to question Paul Stanley's explanation here. Kissing people ain't dangerous dude. Unless they're unwilling and either a cop or a karate instructor.
#9. Chumbawamba
Chumbawamba are a post-punk anarcho-chipotle-barely-legal-electro-something-or-other band who've been around for decades. But they never bothered anyone until 1997 when they were responsible for a song that was incredibly popular but no one anywhere will admit to liking. Statisticians are still trying to figure it out.
The official explanation for the band name is that it's a meaningless word, a combination of syllables that sort of rhyme. However, in an early interview, band member Danbert Nobacon outlined a slightly more specific origination. In a dream, while needing to take a piss, Nobacon didn't know which door to use in a public toilet because the signs said "Chumba" and "Wamba" instead of "Men" and "Women."
Huh. Gender confusion is kind of an odd thing to base your band name on, or even admit to publicly. This is basically the band name equivalent of one of those noisy conversations at a bar where you're drunkenly confiding something to a friend when the music suddenly stops playing, and the room goes quiet, and you're there yelling "I SIT DOWN WHEN I PEE." And then the stares start.
#8. Savage Garden
An Australian pop band, Savage Garden had a brief spell of success in the late 90s when the world's appetite for "weeny, gutless music" was reaching its zenith. While researching this we were surprised to read they managed to sell 25 million records in their time. Really? Twenty-five million Savage Garden albums? You people know they're reusable right?
The name itself is a quote from an Anne Rice novel--Anne Rice being famous for her novels about vampires that were popular with guys that listen to Savage Garden. Taking a name from a literary work is a fine tradition (wait till you see our winner) but an Anne Rice novel? That's a little less rock and roll than calling yourself Goosebumps or The Babysitters Club.
#7. Duran Duran
Duran Duran are an English rock band who've made a billion songs in the last 25 years, none more important than the title song to View to a Kill, the most hilarious James Bond ever (it's the one with Christopher Walken attacking things in a blimp).
Duran Duran have acknowledged that they're named after a character in the Jane Fonda movie, Barbarella. For those of you that aren't huge perverts, Barbarella is an erotic science fiction adventure from the 1960s, assuming you'll allow us to use pretty loose definitions of "erotic" and "adventure."
However, if the band had dug a little deeper into the movie, they would have found a character eight billion times better to name themselves after: Dildano.

Before the gavel even drops, there is a flurry of flying fingers as attendees make Internet connections and check e-mails and text messages.
August 1, 2011
For some business jet buyers, money isn't a consideration. Such buyers can focus on completing or refurbishing a cabin to reflect their tastes and lifestyle and needn't worry much about what others will think of it. That group should now turn to the next story.
July 1, 2011
Not long ago, a chief pilot would be assigned the job of managing the cabin completion of a new aircraft or riding herd on the refurbishment of a used one. Those days are fast becoming a memory, gone the way of wooden propellers, fabric-covered wings and open cockpits.
April 13, 2011
Lufthansa is weighing possible new options for providing executive charter services through its Lufthansa Private Jets service. The process could lead to a resumption of its alliance with NetJets Europe, with a decision on this expected next month.

In a world of 14-hour nonstop flights that not only are possible but sometimes required, the need to arrive rested and refreshed is crucial.
February 1, 2011
The next generation of widebody business jets is coming, and not a moment too soon. The cabins in the current fleet-once outfitted with the latest technology and considered luxurious-are really starting to show their age.

One of the big advantages bizav has over airline travel is your ability to get more done by hitting multiple stops in a single day. Now, thanks to in-flight Internet services such as Aircell's GoGo Biz, Inmarsat's SwiftBroadband and ViaSat's Yonder Broadband, you can do more on the way, too.
"This is going to be mind blowing. Mind blowing…It's about having an architecture that would enable the creation of a self-sustaining city on Mars with the objective of being a multi-planet species and a true space-faring civilization and one day being out there among the stars…I'm so tempted to talk more about the details of it. But I have to restrain myself. "
