The Squid Research Lab can confirm that Inkopolis Plaza is no longer the central hub of Inkling culture. Apparently a new location within Inkopolis known as "Inkopolis Square" is now the most popular area for young Inklings. Many new businesses have opened shop in Inkopolis Square, and it is only two subway stations away from Inkopolis Plaza. We at the Squid Research Lab were surprised to learn that the center of Inkling culture has changed locations in such a short amount of time, but perhaps there is something to be learned about the Inkling way of life in all this. Or maybe we're just thinking about it too hard.
A Squid Research Lab special report:
As we suspected, Turf War is still the most popular sport among Inklings. The basic rules of this sport remain the same–two teams of four Inklings compete to cover the largest area of ground with their ink color within the allotted time. Inklings still eat, sleep, and breathe Turf War, and the sport still drives the direction of fashion, art, and language for Inkling culture.
We have found photographic evidence of one of the new battle stages in Splatoon 2. Inklings call this new area "The Reef", presumably because it's a popular area to hang out when it's not being used for Turf War. The Reef is located a few blocks from Inkopolis Square, and it's home to some of the most popular boutique shops in the city.
Our research indicates that the mid-battle stage map has changed a bit. Apparently Inklings can press the X Button to view the map at any time during a battle. Once the map is open, they can then press the directional buttons and the A Button to Super Jump to a teammate. Each teammate is assigned to a different directional button, as is the spawn point. The map also features a cursor that can be moved by tilting the controller.
While an Inkling is on the ground, swinging a roller weapon will still result in a standard horizontal swing. Please see the attached footage for a comparison of roller swing techniques.
This is the Splat Charger in Splatoon 2. Its design has changed a bit from the original game, as have the designs of the Splat Roller and the Splattershot. These classic weapons are still among the most popular with Inklings.
Charger weapons have gained a new ability since our original analysis of them. Inklings can now store their charge for a short time by entering squid form. Then, when they return to Inkling form, they can instantly unleash a charged shot. Very impressive.
The tried-and-true Splattershot hasn't changed drastically, so veteran Inklings will feel right at home with this weapon. We can also report that all previously existing weapon types, including Splatling and Slosher weapons, will appear in Splatoon 2. Stay tuned for further developments.
Interestingly enough, all of the special weapons that appear in Splatoon 2 are brand new. We've been able to secure an image of one of the new special weapons, but we're unsure of its name. To use it, an Inkling targets as many opponents as he or she can before firing. Once the weapon is fired, four homing missiles are launched at each targeted opponent.
This special weapon is called the Sting Ray. It fires a ray of pressurized ink that can shoot through walls and travel long distances, splatting any enemy players it touches Once activated, it's very difficult to change the direction of the ray.
This special weapon is the Inkjet. It allows its user to hover in the air, and features a blob launcher that can be used to shoot ink blobs at enemies below. It seems to be a very powerful weapon, but it also leaves its user rather exposed. Once this special weapon runs out, the Inkjet explodes, sending its user to the exact point they activated the special from.
This special weapon is called Splashdown. An Inkling who activates it will jump into into the air and then strike the ground, sending an explosion of ink onto nearby players and surfaces. This special weapon can also be activated mid-Super Jump, creating an explosion of ink upon landing. This technique may be very useful when coming to the aid of a teammate who is under attack.
I nearly overlooked it, but I've noticed the existence or a new type of subweapon. This new subweapon is called the Curling Bomb. I was shocked to learn that the Inklings are familiar with the sport of curling, which may be the greatest discovery of all. Once deployed, the Curling Bomb slides across the ground, bouncing off walls.
先日の研究発表会では登場しなかったブキの画像も入手したので紹介しよう。 これはスピナータイプのブキ、「バレルスピナー」だ。 メンテナンスのしやすさを考慮して、特徴的なバレル部分の取付角度や部品の構成が変更されているが、基本的なブキの特徴には変わりはないようだ。
Google translate ¯_(ツ)_/¯:
I also got images of Buki that did not appear at the research presentation the other day so I will introduce it. This is a spinner type buki, "Barrel Spinner". Considering the ease of maintenance, the characteristic mounting angle of the barrel part and the composition of parts have been changed, but the basic buki characteristics do not seem to change.
スロッシャータイプのブキ、「バケットスロッシャー」も健在だ。 こちらは持ち手やサスペンション部分に変更が見られる。 これらのように、2年間のトレンドの変化にあわせてモデルチェンジが行われたブキも存在するようだ。
Google translate ¯_(ツ)_/¯:
Slough - type buki, "bucket throttish" is alive. Here you can see changes in handles and suspension parts. Like these, it seems that there are some buki whose model change was done according to the change of the trend of two years.
New stage
So the stingray is like a miniature Killer Whail? Bah. I'm sure these specials will grow on me, but they seem a lot more convulted than those of the original. Also, snipers will really become a force to recon with thanks to them keeping their charge. Just look at how overpowered that gif makes it look.
Splashdown is going to be nuts, you can combine it with the super jumps, omg.
Any word on single player. I expect a far bigger and better campaign.

They're including de Blob 2 as the single player campaign.

No word on a campaign. I'm assuming there isn't one and I'm fine with that.

I think it's more like a slow laser beam that cuts through things. The dualies dodge move is going to be super unfair and annoying. I hope they nerf it in an update. Also rollers being able to throw ink as far as a gun now.... kinda unfair.
Played the testfire, while it's good, because Splatoon is good. It felt like "hooray...they made Splatoon, but like, again this time" which part of the appeal for me was how fresh and inventive Splatoon felt, this felt more like Splatoon 1.5, than some dramatic improved sequel. Doesn't help that I'll have to pay for a bullshit subscription just to play it online.
Splatoon update, prologue from the website:
About nine months have passed since the final Splatfest.
Twilight lowers its curtain on Inkopolis. Neon signs paint the dusk in brilliant shades of green and pink. The Squid Sisters dance on, as though driven by the Inkling love of battling for turf.
Memories such as these linger, vividly etched in my mind, but feel too like remnants of a long-forgotten past.
It happened the night the final Splatfest came to an end.
The showdown of Callie versus Marie ended in victory for Marie, but there was no ill will between the two. The girls left the studio arm in arm, smiling and laughing as they always had. The bond between them would continue, unbroken, for years to come.
Or so it seemed at the time...
They have edited Moray, made everything bigger.
Poison mist:
uh there are big changes coming. The point sensor is now active for a time beyond straight after it's thrown and if you walk into the area you get marked. It's already bad enough when you get put up against a team with two tracking specials, you spend the whole match as an easy target. Also now you can plant two mines and the impact area is bigger. I always found mines a little unfair to use as people could repeatedly dodge them even if they walked right over them while chasing you.
GI: Salmon Run Is Surprisingly Difficult
In Salmon Run, you work together in teams of up to four to collect Salmonid eggs. The mode is split up into three waves. Each wave gives the team a quota of eggs to collect, as well as a time limit. The goal is to defeat enemies, causing them to drop eggs. You must then haul those eggs back to the basket. If you meet your quota (and you're still alive) when time expires, all remaining enemies retreat and you move on to the next round.
The first time we started up, the difficulty was set to 5% out of a possible 100%. Despite this, some of the boss characters proved tricky for us to take down. The first heavy Salmonids we encountered had armor in the front, so we had to distract it out front while one of our Inklings flanked it to blast ink at its exposed backside. While that creature did little to trouble us, the two of these creatures in tandem served as an effective distraction. While all fire was focused on this creature, an influx of minions surrounded two of our players, incapacitating them and putting our team in dire straights early on in our first attempt. When Inklings take too much damage in Salmon Run, they can be revived by a teammate shooting them with ink.
After we took out the two heavies and deposited the eggs into the basket, another boss character emerged. This time, it was in the form of a tall, slender creature approaching from the shoreline. I quickly swam through the ink layered on the ground to see that he was just pots stacked on top of each other. I began blasting away at the bottom pot, causing it to disappear and the creature to shrink. I continued taking the pots out from under him until he was reduced to nothing, not unlike how I used to do to the Pokey enemies with Yoshi in Super Mario World. With the second boss out of the way, we cleaned up the rest of the minion Salmonid that surrounded us until the timer ran out for the wave.
Wave two followed much in the same way, but the bosses were much more difficult. The first boss to emerge was a massive metal eel. At first, the eel seems invulnerable to our attacks. The eel rains down hostile ink, taking out some of our teammates. Once the eel serpentines its way past you, however, we can see that it is being driven by a Salmonid creature. We immediately blast the operator, destroying the eel and dropping eggs. Another boss appears, this time with two trashcans attached to the side. The boss hovers over the battlefield, seemingly invincible. Suddenly the trashcan opens and it rains down blobs of ink onto us, taking out all by one of us. While this boss spelled our doom in each of our last two attempts, we learn that you can take him out by tossing bombs into the open trashcans.
Though enemies appeared in greater numbers in wave three, we were in a rhythm and took the wave as a victory lap. This wave was particularly easy since we had all saved our ultimates (each player gets two total ultimate uses to deploy over the course of the three waves). We retrieved the rest of the eggs and wiped out the rest of the enemies to claim our victory.
Following our triumph at 5%, we wanted to put Salmon Run's difficulty to the limit. The Nintendo representative giving our demo said that 40% was the highest difficulty people on the Nintendo E3 team could beat. We decided to set the difficulty on 100% just to see how overwhelming it can get. Right from the start, a huge group of blindingly fast Salmonid creatures unlike anything we saw in our 5% run swarmed us and annihilated our entire team.
Salmon Run is a short, but fun co-op mode. I had a lot of exciting moments spread across the three brief rounds, and working together with a full group of four was a blast. I was worried going in that the mode would prove too easy for seasoned Splatoon players, but clearly that is not the case.
During our hands-on with Splatoon 2, we also learned that Nintendo is certainly planning big Salmon Run events, and adding more maps besides the Spawning Grounds. This was great to hear, as without additional content, once Salmon Run is "solved," so-to-speak, it could easily suffer from a lack of a variety.
When asked if Salmon Run events would take the place of Splatfest, the Nintendo representative simply said they "weren't discussing Splatfest at this time."
This is the main reason I haven't bought ARMS. I know ARMS will go unplayed the moment Splatoon2 hits. Hopefully we'll be able to get some VGPress salmon runs going. I'm also hopefull that my gamer mate will pick up a Switch (for 'his kids', of course) and this when it releases.

Guitarist's management tell NME.COM newspaper reports are incorrect
Guitarist Mick Taylor's management have told NME.COM that a report suggesting that he is planning to sue The Rolling Stones for unpaid royalties is incorrect.
Taylor's Manager Jeff Allen said the guitarist had been "horrified" to read reports that suggested he was owed money by his former group.
He added that Taylor – who played for The Rolling Stones between 1969 and 1974 – "doesn't feel any need to sue" the band, whom he still remains close to.
"He [Mick Taylor] certainly didn't say that he was going to sue the Stones. Mick's got a very good relationship with the Stones," Allen explained.
"In fact, the last time we met up with them, him and Keith [Richards, guitarist] were like long-lost lovers – hugging each other and happy to see each other. When Mick was ill either six or eight weeks ago with some kind of chest complaint, Mick Jagger had his office phone up to see what was going on, and then he phoned up the hospital just to check on Mick because they were worried about him. So there's absolutely no animosity between Mick and the Stones."
Allen went on to strongly deny other aspects of the article that appeared over the weekend (September 13).
"You can imagine the shock, horror and disbelief when that article came out in the Daily Mail. The emphasis of the article was that Mick was some kind of run-down, down-and-out tramp living in Suffolk. The reality is Mick's having the house done up," he said. "Mick is living in Holland at the moment with his girlfriend."
He went on to confirm that Taylor's forthcoming tour dates in Germany and France are still set to go ahead as planned, and urged fans to check Micktaylor.net for more information.

Durex Pleasure Max CondomsReviewing: Durex Pleasure Max Condoms | Rating:
The Durex name and condoms go hand in hand. When I recently purchased the Durex Pleasuremax tingling condoms, I was a bit skeptical and a little scared about how they would work. After using the product, I no longer have any skepticism.
The Durex Pleasuremax condom is shaped and textured for pleasure to both the male and the female. The condoms are coated with a tingling lotion. The tingling lotion is not so strong that it causes irritation, but just strong enough to makes its presence known.
The texturing and shaping of the condom is right on the money. With some condoms in the past, the ribs or bumps have been too large and actually caused irritation. That is not the case with the Durex Pleasuremax condom. The Durex Pleasuremax condom is an enjoyable solution to personal safety for both men and women.

White House
Resorts is chosen as "Editors Choice" for the
2003-2004 Michigan Vacation Guide for Tawas/East Tawas
"Impressively renovated cabins. A diverse selection
from luxurious to simple, all are fresh. Even their
smallest is cute and welcoming."
It is with
great passion, my brother and I have renovated this
half-century-old resort. Our seven wooden cabins afford
the intimacy of the past combined with many modern conveniences.
New furnishings and appliances are included as part
of the extensive restoration process which took better
part of four years to complete.
in Michigan's Eastern Lower Peninsula on the Western
Shore of Lake Huron, Tawas Bay has provided vacationing
pleasure for over a century. Of the many resorts in
the area, Timberlane Resort is located on the inner
shore of Tawas Point most noted for its breathtaking
sunsets over Tawas Bay. Nestled in your knotty pine
cabin one can enjoy a panoramic view of the city lights
sparkling across the bay.
Within walking
distance you will find Tawas Point's renowned lighthouse
constructed in 1875 and completed in 1876, this beacon
stands proudly over the sandy beaches surrounding the
area. On a misty summer morning you will find steam
shimmering off the glassy waters and the fog horn sounding
in the background while the Timberlane's sweeping willows
frame your view.
With a small
marina to its South and a ¾ mile stretch of natural
beach to its North, Timberlane shoreline stands second
to none providing access to all the simple pleasures
one might expect during a Michigan Great Lake Vacation.
It is with
great pride we wish to invite you and your families
to share in the Timberlane adventure, which for us began
some 40 years ago when we as children first vacationed
At this time,
I would like to thank our dedicated friend Jake along
with our brother in-law Tom whose efforts and companionship
made the Timberlane restoration possible.

Crag Lough at Hadrian's Wall, costing £20 per person.
Try rock climbing at the atmospheric Crag Lough right below Hadrian's Wall, with an introduction to movement skills, harnesses, belaying and climbing calls.
This particular event is run in partnership with the National Trust. Bookings can be made via:
- The Hadrian's Wall and Housesteads Fort events page
Alternatively if you would like more information on what we can offer please go to our climbing page.
Pinpoint Adventure and National Trust: Outdoor Climbing Adventure at Crag Lough Guidance Notes
The outdoor climbing adventure takes place at Crag Lough, Hadrian's Wall (Northumberland). Crag Lough is an impressive dolerite crag situated just beneath Hadrian's Wall. We will meet in Steel Rigg viewpoint car park (Signposted Hadrian's Wall Steel Rigg) just North of the B6318 (The junction next to the Once Brewed / The Sill visitor centre).
We will meet at the Steel Rigg car park (Grid ref: NY 750 676) at either 9.30am (morning session) or 1:00pm (afternoon session) to leave for the crag; a member of National Trust staff will walk you along to Sycamore Gap arriving at 10am and 1:30pm respectively (Finishing times are approximately 1pm and 4:30pm). At the end of the session you will have the choice to return directly to the car park or to enjoy the surrounding area (e.g. walking the path alongside Hadrian's Wall), please note we cannot be held responsible for anything which takes place after the end of the session.
What does an Outdoor Climbing Session involve?
- This is a 3 hour session in which we will look to do some bouldering and bottom rope climbing, whilst developing movement skills and learning how to belay and tie a figure of eight knot. The overall aim of the session is to have an enjoyable and safe time.
What do I need to bring?
- Yourself (a basic level of fitness is required to climb outdoors and you will need to be able to walk to and from the crag itself over rough terrain)
- Warm clothes (climbing outdoors can be cold although you will warm up very quickly once you're climbing)
- Waterproof jacket and trousers (We can still climb in the rain, although your safety and enjoyment take precedence – i.e. if it began to rain so heavily it became dangerous to climb)
- Trainers – that you don't mind getting scuffed and a little muddy (Although we are able to provide a selection of climbing shoes some people may prefer to climb in their trainers)
- Participant Information Forms – filled out (to be given to Tom when you arrive)
- Food and drink (Crag Lough and Steel Rigg are set in spectacular countryside, so a food and drink break are highly recommended)
Pinpoint Adventure will provide:
- All specialist climbing equipment:
- Harnesses
- Belay devices and karabiners
- Helmets
- All rigging equipment, including: all ropes, wires, cams, karabiners and rope protectors
- Dynamic climbing rope
- A qualified and experienced instructor (Normally this will be Tom).
- Climbing shoes (Although as mentioned above please bring trainers).
Any further queries:
If there are any questions you wish to ask please contact Tom (see below).

This is the end, my only friend, the end.
And so it comes to pass our cycle journey is over. Looking back it's been one hell of a ride. Our route took us through 13 countries, both the richest and poorest in the world. The friendliness and hospitality we received impressed on us the need to pay this back to future travellers. The connections made to like-minded people encouraged me to believe there are some people out there who really get what's going on with the planet. And most of all, the myriad of experiences Anna and I went through together has undoubtedly set a super strong foundation for our upcoming life together.
Lately I've been trying to understand my own driving factors for wanting to travel, and having my mind blown at how different these are from 10 years ago. When we set out I still held onto the idea that new countries, cultures, experiences and people was what I was after. 10 years ago, this purpose kept me going for 3 years, but this time round only the first few months. So what's different? Well to start with there's the obvious age stage differences (no pub crawls this time); also travelling as a couple vs single; and mode of travel eg bikes vs public transport. Whilst all these have influenced my purpose out here, the major difference I can identify is my consciousness. Previously I had no qualms about flying jets around the world; the mounds of beach trash would draw my attention for all but a few seconds while I sipped my mango shake out of plastic; and any cultural destruction eg neon-tourist-towns or children begging had little or nothing to do with my presence. Well all that's changed, I'm now acutely aware of just how impactful we tourists are.
So going forward what's the future of travel for me? To start with I feel conventional travel bus, train, hotel etc. is out the picture. The sheer number of other humans participating in this global dance ensures you will be constantly corralled left or right, and regurgitated experiences daily. Cycle touring was great, but often we found ourselves resenting the tether to Tarmac, and the arse end of the world (backroads are where we place all the bad shit: nuclear reactors, factory farms, mono-crops etc.). So that leaves me with limited options… I can imagine future travel will be limited to important family visits, or adventurous single destination missions eg canoeing down a river for a month. Whatever the case this trip has drastically changed my worldview and placed me, "the tourist",centrally as one of the key contributors to destruction.
Taking this learning and applying it to home, Anna and I have never had such resolve to live a more sustainable life. We've both set goals to become hyper-conscious consumers; to try set up a green co-housing property; and to strive for a work/life balance that allows us to spend time doing the things that really need to be done. I've never been more passionate to learn more about plausible options for the survival of Homo Sapiens, and to find ways to get others onboard. There's never been a greater need for change than now; I just need to harness the passion and understanding that 8months of peddling/thinking has developed and put it into action back home. The challenge will be not slipping back into the status-quo.
So yes, this is the end of our cycle journey and of this blog. Thank you for following along.
Sam and Anna

BZ: If the PDF was created on the Xerox WorkCentre, that should be what is listed as the PDF Producer, even if the PDF was emailed to a different computer. Just opening a document doesn't change the program that created the document.
Correct, but remember that I have shown that the document was fed into the document feeder upside down and thus when the email recipient received the document, he/she rotated it and saved it as a Preview PDF. The question now becomes: Can I show that the document was created on the Xerox? And the answer is yes. I will address this below when I address a similar question by GregNH
BZ:Why did they treat the BC and COLB differently than they treated the tax forms? If the tax forms were gonna be fine going straight from the Xerox to being posted online, then why weren't the long-form and COLB gonna be fine?
I have explained this when pointing out that the document was scanned upside down. Only this way, all the features align.
GregNH: I have not been following this Xerox thread with much interest. But it appears to me that 1) The only Xerox created PDF was a tax return. I would be surprised if Zippos tax return was done and processed in the WH, but I will let that go. 2) NBC has not shown any evidence that the WH LFBC was scanned with a Xerox.
I have actually done just that. In a variety of ways:
1. The White House PDF embeds a JPG and when extracting the JPG you can extract a JPEG comment 'YCbCr'
2. The same JPEG comment shows up in the Xerox created workflow and so far I have not found it in any other (Yes, I am trying to prove a negative here which can be easily shown invalid)
3. The White House embedded JPEG is encoded with a Quantization Matrix which matches matrices generated by Xerox WorkCentre scanners, although not all firmware versions. However, it matches the one found in the White House Tax forms.
4. I have shown that the document created by my workflow matches all the aspects of the White House LFBC PDF. In other words, my workflow is fully consistent.

KW: Thank you for coming out to have an interview with us. Can you tell us a bit about your project?
Cecil2016: By now you all should have heard about Cecil the Lion who was killed by Minnesota Dentist, Walter Palmer. We are a coalition of non profits, animal activists, artists, writers, and animal lovers from all corners of the world wanting to make a statement that trophy hunting must end. The death of Cecil the Lion has awaken the world to the horrors of trophy hunting and we are bringing together 20,000 people to rally at Washington DC July 2016 to tell the world that there is something to be done and it starts with making a commitment to do something against trophy hunting big or small. We plan to shake up the government and embassies to let them know that trophy hunting is no longer acceptable and the must do their part to stop this cruel practice.
KW: Wow, that's a very exciting mission and goal you are aiming for. For such a large rally, how are you working to put it all together?
Cecil2016: We have a powerhouse team of organizers from a diverse background from event planners to project managers, web developers, naturalists, artists, publicists, students, teachers and hundreds of volunteers who are planning on our facebook. We also have a panel of advisors who are influencers in their areas from academics to activists, environmentalists and rangers out in the field we are consulting for expert advices. We have reached out to ethical companies like Delta Airlines to be sponsors and celebrities like Bob Barker to have them come out and show their support. we are expecting an exciting and a life changing rally this July 2016. We know this rally will be the first of its kind with the degree of organization we are committing.
KW: That's a lot of people you have on board. tell us about the Rally.org crowdfunding page.
Cecil2016: To put on a massive rally, we need to pay for permitting costs (which we've covered last week), sound systems, stage installation, porta potties and many other things. We are trusting that the animal lover community will step up and help with the costs. This is the first time DC will have an animal based march and we want this to be epic and invite all animal lovers to contribute to this campaign. Wildlife conservation is a big topic as endangered animals like elephants, rhinos and lions are being killed at unprecedented rates. With the world becoming a more connected place, more and more people are demanding animal trophies paying thousands per piece. While there are park rangers who are dedicating their lives protecting animals, their presence is just not enough.

Feeding the Hungry and Thirsty
"For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink." Matthew 25:35
Overseas in third-world countries, food is not a daily guarantee. But even here in the US, food can be difficult to afford. For those of us who can simply go to the grocery store and purchase food for our families, why not buy a little extra to donate to a local food pantry? Or perhaps anonymously leave a box of groceries on the doorstep of a single mother or widower? May you and I always have a thankful heart and an open hand ready to bless others from the overflow of what God has given us.

I have a whole squadron of semi-realistic die-cast 4x4s, but my current favorite is this International Scout II Terra I picked up at Shop Rite... here it is on its first adventure in my back yard. Who else has pics of their posed (mini) 4x4s to share?
The wheels are a little wack but I bought it for the side-graphic (obviously)!

Heelo. Me and Brian have been working on it most of today trying to get something together, it's more than getting there now, Im pretty sure we'll be done by tuesday (atleast ready for corrections - if any)
Anywho, here's some bits and bobs to have a look at.
This is some of the animation of the girls i've been doing. The thing with these is they will be silhouetted ontop of a moving background.. so any minor errors (for example knees jerking out a little too far) will not be noticable. Also, they have come out a bit to... sexy perhaps? But the thing is we can use them coyly, have the legs in close up for example. See what you think anyway, it may not be fine in your eyes.
- Poser
- Simple one
- The sexual looking one
- These are all variations of the same thing [ One ] [ Two ] [ Three ] [ Four ].
Brian will then take these and add the silhouette effect in behind them. This is a little preview of how that'll look :
Something like this..
Or this.
Hope you guys like what we've got so far. Brian is going to add more flair to them in After Effects, but this is the basic building blocks.

I do not understand the tie.
Classic look but the tie is a bit wonky…
I can't tell if the clothes are too bold for his skin tone, but it appears that way in the shot. The flash of the camera washes him out. Check out how the edges of his face retain their color, but everything in between is white.
it is upto mind :D

Yes, I know Mad Max drove an old Ford. It Mr. Mad were around in the modern era, there'd be no question about what he would driving; the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
It's a 707-horsepower, supercharged coupe, and you can have it with either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed automatic. We've got the manual, and we've got empty roads to play around on. That means it's time to get sideways, get silly, and get busy burning off the rear tires.
We apologize to no one... you don't ever have to apologize to people when you drive a Hellcat.

All the work you put into this comic is really amazing! Take the time off and hopefully you'll recover quickly! For now, I'll just pretend that they're taking a long, dramatic pause in their conversation. Thanks for the amazing story so far, and can't wait to hear back from you!!

I still check once a week, even though I know it will show up on my favorites page if there's an update. If the comic ends here, my head-canon ending will look a lot like that top panel -- even if I have to use wizards to make it happen.

@JesBelle: the truth is, taking a break kind of made me realise some things about this comic and what it was doing to my head, and I've sort of decided to put it aside for a while to focus on something more positive - part of my hand problems were caused by excessive stress and as much as I want to finish it, Jason was just making it worse. I wanted to complete it in a year before I did my next comic and I couldn't do it. I've decided to throw myself into the Flying Ship comic as I've been planning it for about 5 years. I feel really bad for leaving it here though, It must be as frustrating for you guys as it has been for me, but I have been a lot happier since I stopped.

Metro is working with the Virgin Holidays Responsible Tourism Awards 2012 to allow you to vote for the individuals and companies who not only gave you an unforgettable holiday experience but who also work tirelessly to put something back into their local community.
When some of us think of the Indian Ocean, we imagine exotic holidays in paradise-like destinations such as the Maldives or Seychelles. It's unlikely we would consider Mogadishu, the chaotic capital of Somalia, but it's very much part of Simon Reeve's new series.
He spent six months travelling from South Africa, up the east coast of Africa, around India and on to Australia, learning about issues affecting the ocean and the people who rely on it.
'I couldn't just head to the beautiful places without going to Somalia, too,' he says. 'Piracy will not be solved at sea, it needs to be solved on land, so we went to the epicentre of the chaos. Somalia is a collapsed country that is trying to rebuild itself but it's got a tough job on its hands as there is a militant Islamic group fighting daily with the African peacekeepers who are trying to stabilise the country.'
Reeve was taken to the front line every day. 'On one occasion, one of the guys looking after us shot just over my head at someone with a rocket propeller, literally knocking me off my feet,' he says. 'It was utterly crazy.'
Although Somalia won't be on our travel hit list for a long time, there are plenty of places Reeve went to that he would recommend. His favourite example of responsible tourism was volunteer organisation Blue Ventures, which runs marine projects in Madagascar, Tanzania, New Zealand and South Africa. It has been highly commended in the awards five times and won Best Volunteering Organisation in 2010.
'I visited them in Madagascar and was bowled over by their work on the coral reef system and with the local community,' says Reeve. 'Some families have up to ten children and instead of just giving handouts they help with family planning and work. And, of course, if you pay to volunteer with them you will have a truly memorable holiday experience. Good, responsible travel will give you a far more richer experience. It's not about where you go now, it's more about what you do and how you do it.'
Reeve says his recent sojourn to the Indian Ocean helped him realise the huge role tourists play in the fight to protect the planet.
'We often hear that tourism can be destructive but this trip showed me just how many marine parks and national sanctuaries are supported entirely by money from visitors,' he says. 'If we don't go to these places, they will be destroyed.'
Equally, though, humans need to treat the oceans with more respect. 'They may appear vast but they are not our dumping grounds and we are having a massive impact on them,' says Reeve, describing the plastic and other rubbish he saw on dives.
'The one tactical conclusion I came to after talking to everyone from professors to village fishermen is that we need national parks at sea to protect them from pollution and over-fishing. They are our responsibility.'
Simon Reeve will be appearing on our screens in BBC series Indian Ocean, which begins April 22.Virgin Holidays Responsible Tourism Awards 2012
Unlike other awards, the winners are nominated by you, the tourist. So please tell us which individuals, companies and organisations that use travel to benefit local wildlife and communities deserve to be celebrated for their work.

Soap opera matriarchs used to seem eternal, but the senior women of daytime television are disappearing. On Wednesday, Jeanne Cooper, the 84-year-old pillar of the CBS soap opera "The Young and the Restless" died of an illness she fought to the end.
Cooper's time playing Katherine Chancellor on Y&R spanned almost 40 years, and she never retired; the episode that aired May 3 was her final appearance
Of course fans are resisting a recast, and they have a point; how do you recast the face of the show? A face that, by the way, was lifted right on camera, in '84, when the actress allowed her cosmetic surgery to be written into the show and televised.
A true soap matriarch, Cooper battled alcoholism both on and off screen, and reportedly had an affair with the actor who played her son. Her real son, the actor Corbin Bernsen, wrote admiringly that his mother had been "a blaze her entire life."
And I certainly sympathize with heartbroken fans, since for two decades I've watched Y&R's sister show, "The Bold and the Beautiful." Same network, same co-creators Bill and Lee Bell, and a history of shared writers, actors and overlapping plot lines.
A few months ago, "Bold and Beautiful" viewers lost the legendary Susan Flannery when she decided to retire.
But it was another actress, Darlene Conley, who died in 2007, who'd drawn me into the show. I did not watch soaps at the time, but caught a glimpse of her Sally Spectra character one day while changing channels. Beverly Hills matriarch Stephanie Forrester, played by Flannery, battled both Sally, the fashion upstart who stole Forrester designs, and Brooke Logan, the "slut from the valley" who stole Forrester men.
Sally's clumsy attempts to climb the Beverly Hills social ladder were so entertaining that I had to jettison my prejudice against shows that were shunned in my childhood home. Conley's outsized talent for slapstick and campy humor won me over.
Even with humor, soaps are hard on the brain. The writing is often ludicrous. Story lines are recycled endlessly. Individuals act out of character, with no explanation. You'll see felonies committed, with no consequences whatsoever, or severe consequences for the most trivial offense.
Ain't much time for rewrites in soap land. But you do have a different kind of star, and a celebration of a different kind of woman than you find in movies.
Flannery's character would attempt cold-blooded murder, and then a week or two later, everyone was playing nice and calling her the moral center of the family. Somehow, Flannery could sell these absurdities.
"All My Children," which was cancelled by ABC last year but is back online now, has returned from the dead without its biggest star, Susan Lucci, who played Erica Kane for 41 years. Right up until her last scene, the vixen of Pine Valley, a grandmother several times over, was still looking for something she couldn't quite put her finger on, even after eight marriages, three children — one of whom she thought she'd aborted — and successful careers in modeling, acting, magazine publishing and running a cosmetics empire.
Erika Slezak, who is back as the matriarch of Llanview, Pa., in the new online version of "One Life to Live," is known as "Saint Viki" to her rival and sometime best friend Dorian Lord, played by Robin Strasser. Viki is a newspaper publisher, former Llanview mayor and the conscience of her town, too — except when one of her alternate personalities gets out, or she runs off to Texas to clear her head with a stint as a waitress in a diner. Since her show came back, she's realized that her newspaper, "The Banner," is in trouble, and to boost circulation has brought down Sen. Dorian Lord, appointed to office after a vacancy caused by a sexting scandal, with a quote taken out of context.
The character Jeanne Cooper played had an even longer running love-hate relationship, with Jill Foster Abbott, played by Jess Walton — who was supportive when Cooper's character Katherine had breast cancer, and at one point believed she was Katherine's daughter.
More than anything, these characters were survivors, and Cooper's son said his mother was just as strong in life, and even in death.
"Mom passed this morning," Bernsen posted. "She was in peace and without fear."
Donna Trussell writes and takes pictures in Kansas City.

Launched in beta earlier this year by a team of 20+, mydeco is an affiliate-cum-online media property focused on selling interior design products and hosting a community for home furnishing shoppers.
We caught up with CEO David Kelly to talk about the site's planned launch of widgets, its focus on driving conversions through 3D room-planning software, and the way it has gone about building its design and development team.
Can you give us an update on how the business is going? What's the plan for the recession?
It's going well. All the reasons why we built the business in the first place look pretty solid. There was always a big market opportunity and that's still there. The passion centre of the home still exists now.
Even with the economy as it is now, people are still spending money on the home. On the shopping side, people are looking to save money and take advantage of good deals. On the community side, people will continue to use the site, which is very engaging.
We went through our Series B funding in July and the timing of that was pretty good. We made sure we got some good investors in the business, which we are excited about.
What's the next stage for the site?
In the short term, it's about making the site more effective. Since launching the site in beta in February, we've proved that the overall model will work and have started to improve the functionality on the site, based on feedback from consumers. We've improved the shopping experience by adding more retailers and introducing new ways of searching – by style and colour, for example. We're always adding new features and functionality.
In the longer term, we're aiming to do more partnerships with media companies and other partners. Rather than just bringing consumers to mydeco, we are starting to take mydeco and move it out onto other sites. In Q4, we will offer mydeco content widgets to blogs and other news sites both in and outside the UK, such as 'top ten articles' or 'top ten items sold on mydeco'. That way, consumers get to see mydeco on all these great blogs and sites out there that are focused around the home.
Beyond that, we're planning to offer our search tools to other sites, as well as our 3D tool, which is called the Room Planner, which just went live on Channel 4. We're also looking to syndicate content out to other sites.
What's your business model? Is mydeco essentially a very advanced affiliate operation?
The way we are structured at the moment is around three revenue streams. We get sales commissions through being a super-affiliate, I guess. We have products from over 700 retailers on our site now. We also have advertising and sponsorship, including product placement, competitions, advertorials and so on.
The third one is almost a B2B play to allow us to monetise the tools we offer. For example, we are offering the Room Planner through real estate portals such as thinkproperty.
The real estate market is having problems at the moment, but once people see we have hit the bottom and start to come back, conversion will become key. Portals will be able to use our tools to convert floor plans into 3D spaces – a bit like Grand Designs. People will literally be able to see how their home would look if they moved around the furniture and converted kitchens and so on. They would also be able to change all the materials in the room. That should increase conversion and become financially attractive to real estate sites.
Going forward, on the affiliate model, we are looking at the introduction of an e-basket. The reason for that is we are starting to increasingly see people wanting to buy multiple items on the site. If we stay just as an affiliate, we might not be serving our retail partners as well as we would like. People are increasingly looking to buy for little areas in their rooms. At the moment, if you buy two items, you can shortlist everything but you would need to buy the products individually. We need to keep ahead of the market.
Is there a trend among some customers to do all their research on mydeco and then visit the high street to buy? Do you have any plans to do offline tracking?
We knew that would happen when we created the business. But we are doing a couple of things to grow the business in that context. We have built a voucher system, which is being experimented with a couple of retailers at the moment, where if you like a product, you click a button and put your mobile number in, and the retailer will give you a special voucher code for you to reclaim when you go into the store.
We know that some consumers are going to want to use the site and see high-end products physically, and the voucher allows the retailer to get those customers into the store. The traditional concern is that people might decide to go to a particular retailer, but by the time they have got in their car and got to the high street, their attention has been distracted to another retailer. Groups of retailers tend to be situated next to each other.
Secondly, we're also extending that with geospatial search where with some retailers, we will map products to locations where you can go and see them, with directions. We will know where the shopper is living or working as they will be registered on the site. Then we will be able to tell retailers that we have sent them x number of customers in a month, and which stores we have sent them to. They will start to see us not just as an affiliate but also as a lead generation and brand awareness partner.
We see that integration of online and offline as a big opportunity for us, rather than a problem.
How important is faster broadband uptake in creating a lush environment for users? Does the experience suffer on slower broadband connections?
I don't know what the average on BT Broadband is, but we tested the site on BT Broadband on different browsers and it seemed to be performing pretty well on those broadband connections. It's quite an image rich site, as you would expect, so we have tried to focus in on page load times. For search results, we might return 20 results rather than 40, and we have given users the option of an image-only view so they just get the thumbnails of each product. With the 3D Room Planner, we're also working to improve performance on that, but we don't seem to have any negative feedback on those issues.
How did you go about building the team and structuring the business?
What we wanted to do was to create a core team, with a hub and spoke-like structure, with the best people we could find in marketing, tech, design and so on. We have multiple skills for multiple areas. We have tried to stay at around 30 people because academic research shows communication becomes a bit more tricky if you move beyond that. We also use temporary staff wherever necessary.
We have tried to create the best technical team we possibly can, because we are a very tech-heavy organisation. We have lead architects for search, for 3D and for back end systems, and these guys engineer the business and have full knowledge of how the systems work. The work itself is performed by our partners in different parts of the world. We have dedicated teams in Montevideo and Kiev, where we can get highly skilled and motivated but cost-effective resources. That's working really well. You need to create the right balance where you keep the knowledge in-house.
What are you looking for from your retail partners?
There are some simple things. Having a website that works really well is really important, as the differences in conversion rates between retailers are often explained by how well websites work. If the site doesn't work or is difficult to use, or the product isn't available, that is disappointing for a consumer. When a consumer leaves our site, they are excited about the prospect of buying a product so having an effective site is very important. That's the fundamental one.
The other thing that explains differences in conversion is the focus the retailer has on online merchandising, and the integration between online and offline merchandising. If consumers see a product in search results, in editorial, newsletters and so on, that integrated approach drives conversion.
If a retailer has a team dedicated to making sure that the consumer gets multiple messages around particular products, and those messages are clear, there will be good results. People like Sofa.com, who we work with us on giveaways in our newsletters and on our homepage, do that very well.

Experience all the glitz, glamour, and amazing production value of The Champions League in a new Super Regional Format
Finally know where you REALLY rank against the best in your region and the best in the Country
The same judging panel will be used in each of the 6 Super Regions to give truly consistent judging for the first time.
Welcome to the Nfinity Champions League! In our continuing effort to help the industry we love evolve and improve, we spent a great deal of time over the last year conducting surveys about what needed to change. Overwhelmingly the answer was cost. The cost to participate, the cost of travel, the never ending need to shell out dollars is keeping families from cheerleading. It's just too expensive, and more athletes than ever are being pushed out of this amazing sport. Chasing rings and jackets, and the monetary investment this requires, is the #1 issue threatening the growth of our industry. So how can we change it?
In nearly every other sport, teams are divided and defined by geographic region. If you live in the South, you compete in the South. If you live in the Northeast, you compete in the Northeast against other teams from the Northeast. You get the picture. Other than in cheerleading, athletes and teams CAN'T cherry pick where they compete, hoping to run from "better" programs and increase their chances of success. It is with this idea in mind that the Nfinity Champions League is announcing an ALL NEW format for the 2017-2018 competition season. The Nfinity Champions League will now be a super regional championship for ALL levels. Each Super regional will have the exact same people judging on each panel. This will provide the most consistency of any competition ever.
Where will you rank against the best in your region? Against the Best in the country? You'll have to come to find out!

April 2016 Plant Profile: Brassica oleracea
This time of year, you may notice your winter garden plants like kale, collards, and cabbage start to elongate, and produce new, small tender leaves and florets, soon-to-be flowers, also known as raab. Often green, yellow, or purple, these clusters of flower buds emerge when the days get longer, and signify that your plants are preparing to go to seed. What you may not know is that those are edible, delicious, and nutritious! Raab tastes a lot like broccoli, but is sweeter and more tender, and is delightfully simple to cook: briefly sauté them with a little bit of oil or fat and garlic, and add them to your favorite pasta, stir-fry or scramble.
This year, the UW Farm is taking on a third site: the terrace at McMahon Hall. We broke ground on this site on April 1, and it happened to be covered in collard greens preparing to go to flower. We were able to harvest almost 20lbs of raab for the McMahon dining hall, just 100 feet below our garden.
Expect to harvest 6-10 clusters of raab per plant in the spring. Plan ahead and grow extra brassicas in July so that your spring harvest starts early!
Family: Brassicaceae
Genus: Brassica
species: Brassica oleracea
Common Name: Kale and Collard Greens
Location: UW Student farm at McMahon Hall
