You made the right decision.
I don't care how good his work is, how stand-up of a guy he is, etc. If he doesn't respond to inquiries in a timely fashion, then he is either not very professional or has gotten in over his head with too much work, which again circles back around to not being professional enough to handle his priorities. Not worth the trouble. |

I've had great experiences so far, but I'll admit I've been waiting for a bad one based on some of the general feedback about commissions.
I no longer own any sports cards in case you find one of my old selling threads. Sorry. |

Things work both ways. Sketch card artists are a small community and many of them are friends. You start calling people out and making claims - you may find it difficult to find artists willing to work with you.
I'm hesitant to call out a name until I'm certain I've been screwed. It may be a misunderstanding. I lost the artists contact information and have been trying to find it, but it isn't exactly my top priority. Once I get in touch with him, I'd be happy to call him out if he is in fact screwing me. |

Well, I've never had what I consider to be a horrible experience, so I'll just give a thumbs up to those that I've dealt with:
Sam Agro Soni Alcorn-Hender Lynne Anderson Ted Dastick David Desbois Meghan Hetrick Jim Kyle Kat Laurange Trev Murphy Tony Perna Elaine Perna Sarah Wilkinson I know there are more, but I can't remember them off the top of my head... I'll edit this post if / when they come to mind. And Spider-Fan, PM me with the artist whose info you are looking for... I might have it or (far more likely) know someone who will have it. |

@SF ... every collector is hesitant to call out .. lest the artist go "nutso" and "never ever" follow through w paid commissions (or take years / or do a eyes closed, 5 minute, pencil job just to shut the collector up) .. like - ray lago, david day (find the most recent scoundrel thread), renae deliz, ray dillon
see that 3rd link i posted: blink - the screwed collector / is a mod over on scoundrel melike - the "screwing" artist nar, cinar - artists others - chimers in notice that discussion became artists vs artists .. as the voice of the collector (blink) was shutdown; and an artist (nar) stepped up to be the hero for the collector (blink) the screwing artist (melike) was on facebook rant to allegedly lie about the collector (blink); now that the collector got satisfaction by super hero nar help it would seem ... let's not bring this up again as if it never happened .. or will happen again lol go look for any scoundrel feedback for melike (the screwing artist) .. none ... the scoundrel mod left no feedback here is a lame attempt at artist feedback on scoundrel board: Scoundrel Art Community • View topic - Non-performance of Obligations by Artists ( removing details once issue resolved .. as if never happened or wont again ); yeah i found the complaining thread there as my 3 links show -- but not in feedback area where maybe new collector could find to make decisions who to spend $ with

I wonder how many potential collectors were turned off of sketch cards by Tempy Moore and the idiotic player sketches that Topps used.
Those Moore sketches (not just the ones you posted) are embarrassing.

All in all, it's a two-way street. Collectors should be up front with their expectations and artists should be up front about any constraints. The lines of communication need to be open for both parties. It seems most complaints stem from lack of updates from the artists. |

I actually really appreciated that you posted those links. It was a section of Scoundrel that I hadn't visited before and I spent a couple of hours reading through a lot of the threads and left some feedback for some of the people I have worked with. The Acar thread was a particularly good read.
Unfortunately its hard to draw any conclusion from anything written on the internet. People are people. Most of the time when somebody speaks up about something it is because they have a complaint. I work for a global consumer products company and we get thousands of complaints about our products every year but they represents less than 0.1% of what is sold. If I see 5 complaints about an artist that has probably sold 500 PSCs, should I be turned away from that artist? The truth is, we just don't have a good system of collecting positive and negative numeric feedback about sketch card artists. However, the iTrader system that this site uses is miles ahead of what is available on Scoundrel. Quote:
As far as well known professional sketch card artists that I have dealt with only through the internet go... I have worked with a few but the only one that I would personally vouch for because I have worked with her on multiple occasions and she has always gone above and beyond my expectations is Mary Bellamy. I prefer to deal with artists in person. Since I live within two hours of both New York City and Philadelphia I have the opportunity to meet artists from around the country and even around the world at events like Wizard World Philly, New York Comic Con, Philadelphia Non-Sports Trading Card Show, etc... Not to say that things can't go wrong, but meeting somebody in person and actually talking to them has advantages over the internet. And often you can pay them through PayPal using your cell phone, which is a little added security if you aren't leaving with the work. (And that is what I should have done!) |

I am having a similar problem. I bought 6 PSC's sketch cards off eBay from Charles Hall ranging from 4 to 7 months ago. I have received 3 of them, but the last one was before Christmas and he has not responded to any of my emails since January. I have sent 3 Emails the past 3 weeks and none of them have been answered. I am sure he is busy but I was told it would only be a month or two when I first commissioned him to do them and I am now worried I am just going to be out the money and I will never get the sketches.

I know I'm on there somewhere. Just glad I finally got the longest waited for Commissions out of the way just have a few lost AP's that I have to redo and that's it no more commissions of any kind for me again. |

Oh and for future Ref, as a commissioner do not go all wussy when asking for a com. Make sure you tell the person when you want the work done and do not pay up front the entire thing no matter who it is. Pay a percentage to show you are serious but do not pay until the com is finished and in the timeline you negotiated. Don't ever tell an artist, get it done as soon as you can". As soon as I can could be 4 years from today as far as I'm concerned. Don't be such fanboys that you can't come to terms and stick to them. Just some friendly advice.

I hear what you're saying about his technique, but there's no excuse for not answering emails to explain what's going on. If there's one thing I would share with artists from the other side of things, it's this: keep communicating. We will accept delays, we will give you slack, but you need to keep us updated every few weeks or so.

--Consumer tax revenue rose 1l%
--Digital tax segment weaker than expected
--Small business revenue continues climbing
(Updates with CEO comments in paragraphs one through four.)
Intuit Inc.'s INTU, -0.10% fiscal third-quarter earnings climbed 6.7% as the tax-software maker reported modest growth during the recent tax season and continued strength in its small-business products.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company, which makes the TurboTax program, said its consumer tax customer base grew by 11% over the quarter, which included the U.S. tax filing deadline, but the digital category was up only 5%.
"That is solid performance overall, but to be candid, we did not deliver the best tax season that we could," Chief Executive Brad Smith told analysts on the earnings call. "We're capable of more."
The sluggish job market hit Intuit's INTU, -0.10% TurboTax business this spring, said Yun Kim of Think Equity. Young families and first-time tax filers are the fastest growing users of online tax services and there are simply not as many of those people getting jobs and paying taxes as the company expected, he said. Strategies, such as hiring 700 tax advisers to advise users, helped attract users but couldn't overcome the weaker job market.
The software provider narrowed its full-year guidance, now expecting $2.92 to $2.97 a share in adjusted earnings on revenue of $4.21 billion to $4.22 billion. Its previous view was $2.90 to $2.97 in earnings and $4.19 billion to $4.29 billion in revenue.
For the current quarter, Intuit lowered its adjusted earnings view by 1 cent, to 5 cents to 7 cents a share. It expects revenue of $647 million to $662 million, in line with estimates of $652 million from analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
The results came as the maker of TurboTax and QuickBooks continues to grow its tax-preparation business, capitalizing on more consumers adopting do-it-yourself tax filing.
Intuit last month said it agreed to acquire software company Demandforce for approximately $423.5 million, as it looked to use Demandforce's email, mobile and social tools to grow its customer base with small- and medium-sized businesses.
Revenue from the company's consumer-tax unit rose about 3% in the latest quarter. The Internal Revenue Service was unable to accept certain tax returns until mid-February last season, which contributed to a challenging year-over-year comparison, the company said.
For the quarter ended April 30, the company posted a profit of $734 million, or $2.42 a share, up from $688 million, or $2.20 a share, a year earlier. Excluding stock-based compensation costs, amortization and other adjustments, per-share profit rose to $2.51 from $2.33. Revenue grew 5.3%, to $1.95 billion.
The company's February forecast called for a per-share adjusted profit between $2.47 and $2.51 on revenue of $1.95 billion and $1.99 billion.
Shares closed Thursday at $54.41, and were down 41 cents in after hours trading. The stock is up 3.5% so far in 2012.

Aaron's, Inc. Reduces Third Quarter Revenue and Earnings Guidance; Board Increases Authorization for Share Repurchases
Oct 04, 2013, 08:45 ET from Aaron's, Inc.
ATLANTA, Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Aaron's, Inc. (NYSE: AAN), a leader in the sales and lease ownership and specialty retailing of residential furniture, consumer electronics, home appliances and accessories, today announced it is reducing its 2013 third quarter revenue and earnings guidance, and that the Company's share repurchase authorization has been increased to 15 million shares.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130826/CL69318LOGO )
"Revenue and customer growth for the third quarter were below our expectations," said Ronald W. Allen, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aaron's. "Our customers continue to struggle in the current economic environment, and although traffic remains good in most stores, we are having challenges gaining customers. Both same store revenue and customer growth in Company-operated stores were basically flat during the quarter, and shipments of products to our franchisees were less compared to the third quarter a year ago. We initiated several new promotions in the latter half of the third quarter and have additional broader product promotions scheduled for the fourth quarter and beyond, and believe these and similar initiatives along with better execution at the store level will help return us to more historical revenue and customer growth."
"Although not yet positively reflected in our financial results, we are very encouraged with the progress being made in our HomeSmart weekly business," Mr. Allen continued. "We continue to believe HomeSmart will be a substantial future growth contributor to the Company and expect to open a significant number of new stores in 2014."
"We are obviously disappointed with the current business trends and associated financial results, but even if economic conditions don't substantially improve for our customers in the short term, we believe Aaron's superior business model and large consumer base will result in excellent growth and returns to shareholders in future periods. As a reflection of this confidence, we plan to resume our share repurchase program," Mr. Allen concluded.
It is anticipated that third quarter results will include an additional accrual of approximately $13 million related to a pending regulatory investigation by the California Attorney General into Aaron's leasing, marketing and privacy practices. Included in pre-tax earnings for the second quarter of 2013 was a $15 million accrual for loss contingencies for these proceedings. The Company is continuing to cooperate in the investigation, and while the outcome of the investigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes at the current time that no further accruals will be necessary pertaining to this investigation and anticipates achieving a comprehensive resolution without litigation.
Outlook Mainly due to the above-mentioned revenue and customer count shortfalls, and the additional anticipated charge for the regulatory proceeding, revenue and earnings guidance is being reduced for the 2013 third quarter. Based upon preliminary results, the Company is reducing its revenue guidance for the quarter from approximately $550 million to $540 million and its GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $.25 to $.29 from the previous guidance of $.48 to $.52. GAAP earnings for the 2013 third quarter will include the above-mentioned anticipated additional regulatory investigation accrual.
On a non-GAAP basis, the Company is reducing its third quarter diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $.37 to $.41 from the previous guidance of $.48 to $.52. Non-GAAP earnings exclude the anticipated additional regulatory investigation accrual.
The Company will update both its GAAP and non-GAAP revenue and earnings guidance for the 2013 fourth quarter and full year when it releases its final results for the third quarter.
Share Repurchase The Aaron's Board of Directors have authorized the repurchase of approximately 11 million additional common shares over the existing authorized amount, bringing the total number of Aaron's common shares currently authorized for repurchase to 15 million. Although the Company has not repurchased any shares in 2013, it currently intends to resume as soon as possible its repurchase activity through open market purchases or an accelerated buyback program, or both. At September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $300 million of cash on hand and $100 million in investments.
Conference Call Aaron's will hold a conference call to discuss its quarterly financial results on Friday, October 25, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The public is invited to listen to the conference call by webcast accessible through the Company's website, www.aaronsinc.com, in the "Investor Relations" section. The webcast will be archived for playback at that same site. Prior to the conference call, Aaron's will publish its definitive results for the third quarter of 2013.
Aaron's, Inc., based in Atlanta, currently has more than 2,100 Company-operated and franchised stores in 48 states and Canada. The Company's Woodhaven Furniture Industries division manufactured approximately $95 million, at cost, of furniture and bedding at 14 facilities in seven states in 2012. Most of the production of Woodhaven is for shipment to Aaron's stores.
"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Statements in this news release regarding Aaron's, Inc.'s business that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include factors such as changes in general economic conditions, competition, pricing, litigation and regulatory investigations, customer privacy, information security, customer demand and other issues, and the other risks and uncertainties discussed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Statements in this release that are "forward-looking" include without limitation Aaron's preliminary estimates of revenues and earnings for the third quarter of 2013, statements regarding planned share repurchases and statements regarding Aaron's legal and regulatory accruals for loss contingencies.

LSU pushing man !!!! Getting hard now !
— Robert Nkemdiche (@Aceboogie_001) February 3, 2013
Robert Nkemdiche's older brother, Denzel, starred as a redshirt freshman linebacker for Ole Miss in 2012, racking up a team-high 82 tackles for the up-and-coming Rebels.
However, his brother's ability, and the desire of his mother to only visit one school from her home in Nigeria, may not be enough to bring the nation's No. 1-rated recruit to Oxford.
With the 6-foot-5, 265-pound younger Nkemdiche scheduled to make his decision in the very early morning on National Signing Day on Feb. 6, the superstar defensive end scheduled one last recruiting trip to LSU over the weekend.
Of course, having the opportunity to meet Shaq cannot hurt, but there was far more to the young man's LSU visit than the future NBA Hall of Famer.
This according to Gary Laney of GeauxTigerNation:
"Nkemdiche called defensive line coach Brick Haley his 'dog,' said he 'loved' recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson and said LSU had 'made it hard; for him. That's good news for the Tigers considering most had expected Nkemdiche to be an Ole Miss lock."
Sometimes an abundance of riches is not always ideal.
Nkemdiche is so big, strong, fast and talented that he obviously can head to any school in the entire country. He has understood this presumably since he was 12. However, no matter where he chooses to go, someone is going to be upset.
At this point, it is looking more and more like his heart is saying LSU, but his mother is saying Ole Miss.
Whomever Nkemdiche chooses will have a talent along the likes of South Carolina superstar Jadeveon Clowney on their hands. However, has coach Les Miles and his staff made the Bayou so appealing that he will pick against the wishes of his own mother and head to LSU?
The entire college football world will be waiting anxiously to find out exactly that on February 6.

In this third and final chapter of our Running Man Australian Trilogy, our cast and guests travel back in time to 1854 when the land was fervent with gold rush fever. This time, these sheriffs will try to prove what they're made of, performing missions that tests their skills and noggins while trying to hunt down treasure for just a tiny taste of gold. Will all that hard work prove worth it or will they just be panning for coal?
EPISODE 191. Broadcast on March 30, 2014.
We jump back into the final chapter of our trip in Australia and start at the break of dawn at the State Library of Victoria located in Melbourne. Some members have an easier time with their limited English than others, and you can't help but be awed by the majestic architecture both inside and out.
Here, our cast members—who are known as Running Hill Sheriffs today—must find the nine historical books (labeled with sheriff badges) that will transport them to the past. The more stars, the better and we'll learn about their significance later on.
The central dome is a sight to behold and basically, a book lover's dream. Jae-suk jokes that it'd be more impressive if only Jong-kook weren't already there. Regardless, everyone is awed by the gorgeous room. Then we see that Kwang-soo, Woo-bin, and Haha have been standing over the mission letter for a good ten minutes before Rain arrives.
Rifling through the seemingly endless stacks is no easy task, and Jae-suk encourages Haha to use a step ladder to get to the higher shelves. Hee. It's Jong-kook who discovers a book first, and three stars should put him in a decent position.
He opens it and we see him literally disappear into the book before our eyes (thanks to some fancy CG work and editing).
Jae-suk finds a book for himself and loudly celebrates his four-star find with a maniacal laugh. Kwang-soo sneaks towards him to steal it, but Jae-suk disappears before he gets the chance. I love the B-side comedic bit to this as Haha and Kwang-soo collectively freak out… and then Jae-suk pushes them aside before "jumping into" the book.
Then their stilted acting at the idea of being transported back to the year 1854 (the same year the library opened) has me in stitches—they know it's a fantasy world, we know it's a fantasy world, but we're all willing to suspend disbelief if the show can fully immerse us in its story.
I don't really understand why 19th century Korean sheriffs in Australia would be donning sombreros, but at least Jong-kook and Jae-suk know (in between bickering about how many stars they've got, of course) that this episode isn't about replicating the Old West in America. Or is it? I suppose we'll find out.
It's sorta funny to watch them pretend that they totally knew that the gold rush in Australia took place in 1854, and after they make fun of each other's getup, they totally rag on Haha and his Swiss Alps-like costume. Haha: "I have a kid!"
Meanwhile in the present, the others are still busy searching for books. Kwang-soo spins a web of lies to fellow Easy Brother Suk-jin that he's on the search for a four-star book and keeps the mat-hyung talking long enough to try and steal his book away from him.
Opening the book the opposite way is no good, so Suk-jin resorts to biting Kwang-soo in an effort to shake him. But alas Kwang-soo gets his hands on it anyway, leaving Suk-jin behind in the present.
Kwang-soo's entrance to the past isn't satisfactory in his hyung's eyes, but he's got a bigger problem to deal with when Suk-jin finally arrives and recounts the tale to the others.
Suk-jin only has one star to start him off here in the 19th century, and we see that that's because Ji-hyo had opened a measly one-star book in his face. HA, that's so evil and brilliant.
When the Monday Couple finally arrives to round out the pack, we see that they shared the two-starred book together. Aw.
Now that everyone's in 1854, our resident sheriffs will have the opportunity to earn more sheriff badges to add to their names. Betting between two competitors in a series of rounds, the cast can use their own stars as ante.
The first game is a ddakji match between Jong-kook vs. Rain, and the cast make their bets ("Jong-kook even practices at home!"). Rain gets upset when Kwang-soo debates with himself on who to root for, but then he's further disappointed when Jae-suk jokes if he can change his vote to Jong-kook instead. Ha.
But before Jong-kook can slam down his first hit, Rain makes a request: "Let's not play with our legs apart." HA, you'd rather do knees together then? How cute.
Rain gets a few pointers from the ddakji king aka Jae-suk, but the paper square doesn't flip over. But then Jong-kook flips the other ddakji in the next turn.
Haha lends Rain one of his stars, and now the world star is determined not to lose anymore. This next game requires the Monday Couple to pour a glass over someone else's head while blindfolded.
Gary is plenty confident about the task, and with just one star, there is no room for a "ladies' first" mentality. Ji-hyo grumbles: "Who got you here?"
Haha whispers that the way to go is to bet the opposite of Jae-suk in order to win. After everyone makes their bets, it's time to determine who the unlucky sitter gets to be. Jong-kook teases that Gary might be too burdened by fear to have him sit in the chair, but then Gary chirps, "Nope, I choose you, hyung!"
Having Woo-bin sit in the chair is a great way for him to break his classy actor image and his gnawing anxiety already makes me laugh. He gets a wee bit wet, but the same can't be said of Jong-kook, whose face is met with a cascade of water. HAHAHAHA.
Things are going well for Ji-hyo… ish, until she pours an extra shot over Woo-bin's bags before stopping. How can such a simple task be so entertaining?
Then Ji-hyo goes for the cruder approach for her next attempt by opening the lid of her kettle. I love the beat where Gary muses aloud: "Should I do this, too?" Jong-kook's eyes widen in alarm. And whaddayaknow, it works!
The next round pits Jae-suk against Woo-bin in a coin tower building contest. Woo-bin is completely focused as he attempts to stack more coins on the tower, even barking at everyone to sit down so the floor doesn't shake. Heh.
And when it's Jae-suk's turn again, the tower falls, confirming the theory yet again that betting against Jae-suk is a surefire way to win. That leaves Jae-suk, Suk-jin, and Gary completely badge-less.
Our sheriffs marvel at their classic vintage rides waiting outside and they take the cars for a spin while sightseeing all the way to Running Hills.
This little town is where our band of sheriffs gather in order of the number of badges they possess, with Woo-bin leading the pack with seven in total. It's a good ol' nametag ripping race in this quiet town, where one can only rip off the nametags of those who have an equal number of badges or less.
Aha, so this is why having more badges is an initial advantage, but perhaps not for long because there are a number of mini-mission stations where sheriffs may collect more badges. Last sheriff standing wins.
Additionally to prevent any accidental rips, should someone of a lower rank (as indicated by less stars) attempt to rid someone of a higher rank, they must hand over a star. So Suk-jin gets to work on trying to earn some more stars, but fails the classic bowling challenge.
Jae-suk introduces himself as Nallyu(?) for some reason and the small pocket of onlookers give him strength. He ends up failing though, but gets a round a high-fives for his efforts.
Haha and Kwang-soo get the ever-rare opportunity to exert some superiority over Jong-kook since they both have more stars than he does. They try to goad him into hitting them, just as an excuse to get him to hand over a star. Jong-kook bites the bait and hands them each a star to get them off of his back.
They pick on Jae-suk next, since he's still badge-less, and revel in the chance to speak to him in banmal. But Kwang-soo jokingly crosses the line, and the order is met with a slap in response. D'aww.
Then both Jae-suk and Kwang-soo try to appeal to Haha ("I'll be your servant!" "I'll be your dog!") but Jae-suk is eventually free to go on account of being "a hoobae I really cherish." Lol.
Aw good for Suk-jin, who's earned himself a badge. He wonders to himself whether he should still be alive in this game, but he quickly finds himself being tailed by Gary. So Suk-jin pleads with him, saying that he'll hand over all the stars he wins if Gary lets him live, but Gary isn't going to back off that easily. Suk-jin: "I'll help you… but not now!"
Gary decides to attack instead, and chases Suk-jin down to tear off his nametag… then barely has time to process it before he finds himself in Woo-bin's clutches. Gary uses the same pleas Suk-jin used with him, but it's no use and Gary is out, too.
Elsewhere, we see Rain pick up another badge, thanks to a water gun duel. Then he tries his hand with a whip, which earns him another star, and another dance-off (and a mini-promotion of his single) brings up his total to six badges.
Haha and Kwang-soo decide that now's their chance to take out the competition. They run into Jae-suk, who ignores Kwang-soo's "rank" and pushes him around as he pleases just like a hyung would. Kwang-soo can't do anything about while they're in Haha's presence, and the two sides split for now.
Woo-bin's "I've got too many stars to count" attitude cracks me up, and he walks with an extra swagger towards Haha and Kwang-soo. Woo-bin has already decided for himself that eliminating people is much faster than dealing with those mini-missions, and both Haha and Kwang-soo cower in his presence.
Woo-bin lets them off with a warning… but as soon as he walks away, Haha and Kwang-soo whisper insults behind his back. Haha: "I heard he was an heir since a young age!"
Jong-kook pays another badge toll to pass through Kwang-soo, and hey, now Kwang-soo and Haha share the same number of badges! Kwang-soo [in banmal]: "Let's go, friend!"
Meanwhile, Jae-suk is busy panning for gold, all the while griping about the work involved to look for pebbles when the end prize is a hunk of gold. He does find one speck of gold and immediately shows it off to the local kids. Aw.
You can barely see the speck in the bottle (which he gives away), but instead of earning a badge, Jae-suk receives… a scroll? It's a treasure map and heads on his way after saying goodbye to the kids.
Jae-suk stumbles upon his destination and is taken to a station that's supposed to take him underground. We cut away for now to see Jong-kook beg Woo-bin to eliminate Haha and Kwang-soo so that they won't bug him anymore. He even offers up one of his own badges as a sign of loyalty, but Woo-bin declines.
Speaking of, we see Haha try his hand with the whip, but why do I get the sense that he's just a tad too short when it comes to reaching the cans? He's about to crack the whip one last time when a burst of wind tips the top can over. Daebak.
He gets found out by Woo-bin and Jong-kook and despite his attempts to run, he gets cornered anyway. Jong-kook comes running like a kid tattle tailing on the bully who's been bothering him, and after Woo-bin does the honor to eliminate Haha, Jong-kook laughs victoriously in his face.
So now Woo-bin has a startling 21 stars, and Jae-suk isn't that surprised to hear that Haha's been eliminated. Jae-suk is taken by cart underground and winds through the maze of passageways until he discovers a treasure chest.
Inside is the Ultimate Badge, which can be used to eliminate anyone without penalty for ten minutes. Jae-suk vows to use it against Kwang-soo.
Everyone is alerted about the existence of the Ultimate Badge, and Woo-bin sighs that he should have known that it would have been too easy today. He's certain there must be a time limit and predicts: "How upsetting would it be if I was eliminated after working so hard for these stars?"
Back in jail, the eliminated are surprised to see Rain join them. His explanation says it all: "I was betrayed by Kwang-soo." Sure enough, a flashback shows us how Rain had momentarily turned his back against Kwang-soo—a fatal mistake.
He's told that Kwang-soo does this betraying thing pretty often, and Suk-jin adds, "You start to get angry after a few times it happens." Haha: "There's a hyung whom he did that to for three years." Suk-jin: "Me."
Elsewhere, Jae-suk starts his ten-minute timer and tracks down Kwang-soo right away. Now the tables have turned as Kwang-soo addresses his apologies to Jae-suk, pleading for the one chance to eliminate Jae-suk.
After switching hats, Kwang-soo updates him on everyone's whereabouts, and Jae-suk sighs to hear that the Ultimate Badge's existence has been announced. Jae-suk isn't going to let Kwang-soo off that easily though, and orders, "Turn around before I lose it."
Jae-suk eyes Kwang-soo's numerous badges, ignoring his speech that those who have power tend to abuse it. The idea of taking Kwang-soo's badges is extremely tempting, but Jae-suk gives Kwang-soo the chance to eliminate Jong-kook in front of him.
I'm thinking that Jae-suk has already wasted a good five minutes talking to Kwang-soo, but Kwang-soo does what he's told and corners Jong-kook. Only that tactic backfires on him moments later because Jae-suk rips off his nametag instead.
Kwang-soo is dragged off screaming in protest, and now Jae-suk is looking pretty decorated now. He's got a new errand boy in the form of Jong-kook, and they step out to take on the town… in the next minute-and-a-half.
With less than forty seconds remaining, Jae-suk hurries to find Woo-bin, but he's nowhere to be found. But then time is up and Jae-suk lets out a sigh of relief knowing that he's safe from Jong-kook, who swears that he wouldn't attack.
Jong-kook offers up his own stars if that means beating Woo-bin, calling himself a sacrificial icon. They hug on it… and Jae-suk rips off his nametag. "Give them to me now."
Little do they know that Ji-hyo has been keeping an eye on them at a distance as they carry on their conversation. The PD asks if Jong-kook isn't going to help pin his badges on Jae-suk like he did before, to which Jong-kook retorts: "Should I pin them to make sure that they never fall off?"
Our updated badge count indicates that Jae-suk has 20 badges to Woo-bin's 21 badges whereas Ji-hyo only has four. Woo-bin is looking pretty confident again now that the Ultimate Badge is out of use, and Jae-suk gives one of his badges to a schoolgirl. Aw, that was sweet.
Jae-suk asks if that doesn't count, and the PD's all, Of COURSE it counts! You've got 19 now! Jae-suk: "But that was a present!"
Then Woo-bin and Jae-suk face off in the main street and neither are willing to show off the exact numbers of badges they possess. They're busy trying to size each other up when the speakers blare that someone has found the Shadow Badge, which means they cannot be eliminated.
And then all of a sudden, we see Rain and Ji-hyo emerge from the shadows, both wearing similar-looking Ultimate Badges. Time to run!
So it seems that Rain must be Ji-hyo's "shadow," as he holds Jae-suk long enough for her to eliminate him. They're after him one minute and gone the next, and Jae-suk sighs that he was better off giving the rest of his badges away.
We backtrack thirty minutes ago to learn what happened: Ji-hyo had obtained a map to the Shadow Badge in the candleshop. The badge had enabled her to revive one of the eliminated to work together (without fear of elimination) for a short five minutes.
I also love the winnings ratio split of 70:30, but we know that Rain got to work right away. He and Ji-hyo chase Woo-bin through the town until finally cornering him with ten seconds remaining.
Woo-bin waits them out, leaving Ji-hyo to tackle him on her own. She notes that Woo-bin has 23 stars and they both pay the other compliments while circling one another.
Woo-bin is first to draw near, but Ji-hyo's the one to attack first by grabbing his vest. She's got a good grip on him, but they both let go.
They engage each other once more and both grab for each other's backs simultaneously… and it's Woo-bin who tears off Ji-hyo's nametag for the win.
The castmates congratulate Woo-bin for his victory, and Woo-bin admits this is the first time he's smiled in the past three days. He wins a bag full of cash as his prize and promises to come back to Running Man soon. Please do!

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Planted Aquarium
- - Plant Issues - Stem & Sag
Plant Issues - Stem & Sag Four weeks ago I started a 30 gallon (36" footprint) as grow out tank for 15 very young Juvie A. Cacatuoides fry. The substrrate is Tahitian Moon Sand Dosing with Comprehensive twice a week and Seachem root tabs. Initially I installed a single tube T8 32 Watt Grolux bulb – I do not know the K rating (it came with a used fixture). Lights are on for 10 hours per day. Temp is 75 degrees Hard water with a 7.6 ph. Ammonia 0 – Nitrites 0 – Nitrates 10 or less and several readings with 0 Plants Crypt Nurii Crypt Wendtii Hygrophila pinnatifidia (I love this species) Sagittaria subulata Ludwigia Repens Ludwigia arcuata Rotala Indica Java Fern Java Moss With the Grolux Crypts – grew great Pinnatifidia – grew great Java's – grew great Stem Plants – grew great on TOPS – seemed to rot & melt at base of stem above substrate Sag – did horrible, all plants experienced yellowing of leaves on ends and then melt. 3 of the sags melted away. Thinking I might have a light issue, a week and half ago I added another 25 watt 6500K T8 Zoo Med Ultra Sun This gave me 57 watts of light between the two lamps. Even with the additional light I am seeing the same conditions, except now some of the Crypts are experiencing the yellow leaves. Do my plant symptoms appear to be a lack of Nitrogen? What do you think I need to do? I have another planted tank with low light levels, minimal dosing and low light level plants which has been doing great, but I've always struggled with stem plants. Thanks |
To me it sounds like when my plants aren't getting enough light. I'm hardly an expert at figuring out plant symptoms though. The total lack of nitrates could certainly be a problem. Is it all of the stems doing that, even the Rotala? Are you giving root tabs to the sag? BTW I'm jealous that you both own Crypt nurii and can get Hygrophila pinnatifidia to grow well. I've had success with a number of different plants, even some that are harder to keep, but never with the pinnatifidia. |
Yes, I did provide root tabs to the Sags. I am praying the Pinnatifidia continues to prosper, it is a beautiful plant and one of my favorites. Thanks! |
In my experience, the "grow light" and other plant bulbs are heavy in the red spectrum and actually provide less PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) than the "Daylight" full spectrum bulbs. I'd first suggest changing the bulb. Dwarf Sag will occasionally fail if moved form a high-light environment to a very low light one. But dwarf sag does ok in low light for me. I'd also say look very carefully at how you planted the dwarf Sag. Never bury the leaves or root crown, the plant will die if it's planted too deep. Easy to say, but hard to plant the dwarf sag correctly sometimes. With your lighting, I'm just not positive the stem plants will thrive. They are more picky regarding light intensity and require higher intensity to do well. That's why the tops are doing well = closer to the light. Try floating small portions of each stem plant on the surface. If your floating stem plants do ok and the rooted ones slowly fail, then it's the light, not a nutrient issue. Interestingly, I have a couple of crypts and have, to date, never experienced "crypt melt" yet. |
I agree with what's been posted. The crypt issue is the light change, leave the roots (siphon out the mushy leaves during the water change) and they will recover. Stem plants generally need more light than rooted plants. The lower leaves dying off is common unless the light is quite bright. All species of Hygrophila are prone to this. The Grolux-type tubes are less intense light than daylight, part of this is undoubtedly the green-yellow light and this is more important to aquarium plants than some of us might think. I happened to post on this very issue only yesterday, so here is that copied over; this is a citation from Diana Walstad's book where she is commenting on the results of the study that determined plants grow best under what we now call "daylight" tubes. The fact that plants did very well with Cool-white, which produces mostly green-yellow light was an unexpected result of this study. One would have expected the plants to do better with Vita-Lite [this was the "full spectrum" tube used in the study]. This is because Vita-Light was designed for growing plants; its spectrum, which is rich in red and blue light, matches the light absorption of plant chlorophyll much better than Cool-white and many other fluorescent bulbs.Here again we have the 6500K "daylight" mix that all agree works so well; red, blue and green-yellow. Changing to one of these tubes will probably help. Byron. |
1 Attachment(s) To expand up on Byron's information regarding photosynthesis. It's important to understand that different plant pigments absorb light differently. Note that a significant absorption of energy is from the "blue" portion of the spectrum. In this case, the higher the peak the better. Daylight bubs most often come closest to matching this using a single light tube. Simply put, you get more energy delivered (PAR) for photosynthesis from a Daylight tube than a red-spectrum "plant" bulb. |
I think the replies are excellent and point me toward the direction of replacing the Grolux, which I did today. I purchased a 6500K Daylight Deluxe Bulb (2 pack) from Home Depot - $9.00 for the pair. No question I had the sag too deep in the substrate so I moved it up where the root crown is at the surface. It was interesting to read that the sag might have experienced issues coming from a high tech to low light envirnoment as this was excatly the case. Most, but not all, of these plants came from a club brother and a very high light, heavy fertilization, CO2 tank. The spectrum chart is super, thanks! |
I've been reading a lot of Tom Barr's opinions lately, and he really doesn't seem to buy into the "MORE LIGHT!" train of thought, and instead argues that co2 is key. I don't use co2, nor do I plan on it. However, I do feel that nutrients are probably the problem. I think the fact that your other plants are doing well proves nutrients are the problem. In short, I think you need more macro-nutrients. Flourish, although it has everything, is pretty low on the macros (especially Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus). I use soil in my tanks, but I feed varying amounts. I've noticed when I feed less, the rooted plants (dwarf sag, crypts, and swords) are the first to suffer. My theory is that the root feeders absorb nutrients more slowly, and the stem plants suck them up before they can pass through the substrate to the plants roots. Are your crypts melting or yellowing? I've had my crypts yellow but remain firm- this is not "crypt melt". I would either feed your fish slightly more (what they can consume in 2-3 minutes, but one more time per day, or else look up some "Osmocote Plus Aquarium Root Tabs". They're homemade, and look funky, but contain more NPK and have been used by a lot of hobbiests. |
However as suggested by the forum members who posted, I also felt that I needed to boost my lighting. Most of what I read indicated 2.0 watts per gallon was kinda the basic minimum to meet most of the needs on lower end plants without the need for CO2. At this point that's what I have 2.0 watts per gallon with fresh bulbs. When I installed my crypts for the first time, they all melted away, but all of sudden they sprang back. The only yellowing to the crypts occurred when I added the second light. Are you using just root tabs? Do you feed your plants Macro specific ferts? If so, what type - dry or a liquid form? Another item I am curious about: this is 1 of 7 tanks I keep, my other tanks generally carry 10-20 ppm Nitrate. This tank is carrying 10 or less and on several readings is 0. Is this in an indication of potential Nitrogen deficiency or is it unrelated to nutrient anaylsis. |
Might would expect the symptom's from plant's moved from high light,CO2 injected tank. Much like plant's going from emmersed state to submerged. Would were it me,,reduce lighting to eight hour's a day for a few week's and continue with flourish comprehensive twice a week and maybe a pinch of dry fertz KNO3,KH2PO4 once a week. Believe at this point,,it may be lack of CO2 that is hampering the plant's. Is said that plant's can and do adjust to low level's of CO2 like which that occur's naturally in the tank so maybe just a waiting game. |

Paradigm Adds New Signature W5 On-Wall Speakers
Paradigm Electronics Inc. has added new on-wall speakers to its Reference Signature speaker line. More than three feet in length to accommodate their six cutting-edge drivers, the Signature W5 and W5 C (center channel) speakers complement any wall-mounted flat-panel display or discreet A/V installation without sacrificing power or realism.
Each of the new Signature W5 models features a three-way crossover design that contributes to measurably superior dispersion both on- and off-axis, as well as breathtaking dynamic range. The speakers boast cutting-edge P-Be£ Pure-Beryllium dome tweeters and Co-PAL£ cobalt-infused pure-aluminum bass and midrange cones, along with the full suite of Paradigm Reference Signature Series v.2 technologies, including bronze-anodized die-cast aluminum chassis for all drivers, Reference phase-coherent precision crossover networks, and AVS£ airflow ventilation system cooling. Both W5 models also come with adjustable mounting supports for added acoustic flexibility. Tilting the W5 on the wall side-to-side can result in better imaging or a heightened sense of spaciousness, while adjusting the W5 C model up or down can further optimize clarity and dialog intelligibility. As with other Paradigm multi-channel speaker systems, the new W5 on-walls are timbre-matched, which means an identical sonic signature passessmoothly from speaker to speaker at all times (even when paired with Paradigm ADP£ surround speakers). When used in center channel applications, two critical components lie behind Paradigms superior timbre matching of the W5 C with rear and surround speakers: the precision and accuracy of the unified drive assembly and the sophisticated crossover design itself. People will be blown away by the performance of the W5s, said Mark Aling, Paradigms marketing manager. Before these speakers, you simply could not find on-wall models that produced audiophile-quality sound. Weve yet to read or hear a bad review of our Signature v.2 technology, so were confident the new W5s will impress even the most discerning ears. Options for baffle and cabinet finishes include Cherry or Natural Birdseye Maple inlay with contemporary silver cabinet, or Piano Black inlay with dark gray cabinet. Both the Paradigm Reference Signature W5 and W5 C models are now shipping and have a U.S. FMV of $2,999 each. |

Track List
Album Notes
The Parachute Years is a seven-CD box of John Zorn's first self-produced recordings, including his systems for structured improvisation based on games (namely "Lacrosse," "Hockey, "Pool," and "Archery"), as well as over two hours of previously unreleased outtakes, rehearsals, etc. Zorn first began developing his game-based ideas in 1974, inspired by the works of such modern composers as Braxton, Kagel, Stockhausen, and Wolff. Two discs worth of "Lacrosse" are here: the first (from June 1978) offers six takes ranging from six to 20 minutes in length performed by Zorn, Mark Abbott, Polly Bradfield, Eugene Chadbourne, and LaDonna Smith; the second presents the original "Lacrosse" recording (from one year earlier) featuring Zorn, Chadbourne, Henry Kaiser, and Bruce Ackley. Next comes a single disc of "Hockey." Two lineups offer their interpretations: first, there are four electric takes (1978) by Chadbourne, Wayne Horvitz, and Bob Ostertag; these are followed by 13 acoustic interpretations by Bradfield, Zorn, and Mark E. Miller. "Pool" was written in March 1979, and the recording included here took place one year later with musicians Zorn, Bradfield, Ostertag, Miller, and Charles K. Noyes, with prompter Lesli Dalaba. The three CDs of "Archery" (one of which is all rehearsals) document a 12-piece ensemble organized in 1981 and consisting of Robert Dick, George Lewis, Anthony Coleman, Kramer, Bill Laswell, Tom Cora, David Moss, Wayne and Bill Horvitz, Chadbourne, Bradfield, and Zorn. This box set is for dedicated fans already intrigued by the early annals of Zorn and his musical game theories. However, Zorn skeptics and listeners with less patience for theory (or history) should definitely avoid The Parachute Years. This set will not win anyone over; nor will the theories become more clear upon listening. The recordings in The Parachute Years helped the participants -- inspired and creative musicians, all -- to grow, but they also have more historical value than listening interest. ~ Joslyn Layne

Dear Head-Fiers,
A friend of mine needs a hearing aid. He got problems with it. The audiologist first tried an Universal IEM, later on a Custom IEM. In both cases he (the audiologist) drilled a second hole through the tip to avoid air pressure in the ear canal. I have never heard of a second hole in the tip of an IEM. Could somebody give me an explanation?
With kind regards, Artmon

Marathon Manhunt
Boston Bombing Suspect's Widow Wore Veil, Rarely Left House
According to the U.K.'s Telegraph, neighbors of Katherine Russell (not pictured)—the widow of slain Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev—say the young wife had adopted the Islamic veil and rarely left the house after converting to Islam. The 24-year-old, who reportedly became a Muslim after her freshman year at Boston's Suffolk University, where she majored in communications but did not receive a degree. Neighbors also told the paper that Russell's father is a Navy vet and an EMT in Providence, Rhode Island, while her mother is a nurse. Russell also reportedly has two younger sisters, and a young daughter with Tsarnaev.
Russell's family confirmed her connection to the Boston bombing suspect yesterday in a statement that said they "cannot begin to comprehend how this horrible tragedy occurred" and asked for privacy. "Our daughter has lost her husband today, the father of her child," Russell's parents said in a statement. "In the aftermath of the President's Day horror, we know that we never knew Tamerlane Tsarnaev."

sutch has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm looking for a Perl solution which displays an HTML document that illustrates the differences between two versions of an HTML document. It needs to "accept" two HTML documents and output a new HTML document that shows sections removed, sections added, and sections changed. I believe that it must know about HTML so that it doesn't hightlight tags that have changed, but somehow shows that formatting has changed. I've found HTML::Diff, but the documentation is skimpy and only seems to handle providing the backend functionality of returning structures that show what has changed. Are there any other options out there that are Perl based? TIA

He's replacing Colin Firth, whose voice was deemed "too mature." Well, of course. Because the voice is the thing that's wrong with Paddington, and not the fact that he's now a full-sized, realistic-looking bear wearing just a coat and a hat. Advertisement Whishaw himself was hesitant to take the role, telling the Daily Mail:I resisted a little bit, because I had a bad experience doing this kind of work in the past and I thought I was no good at it. But I was persuaded to go, slightly grudgingly.Look, this should be a light-hearted children's movie. Or at least a wistful, dreamy one. And they've gone with someone who did a "landmark" Hamlet.
