I have been trying to draw this evening and I have been failing. I think the key is to keep doing it and not expect each thing to be good straight away. I dislike this reality intensely. Anyway, if I draw anything worthwhile I'll let you know. Only two more days of labs until holidays, so therefore only two more days of screwing up experiments and being generally incompetent. yesss. Goodnight chickens, sleep well and make sure you follow my blog. Very good. x

this study shows that sensory axon bifurcation is insensitive to increases of C-type natriuretic peptide induced cyclic GMP levels and the guanylate cyclase receptor Npr3 does not have an important scavenging function in this axonal system.
A model of kyphosis due to a novel NPR3 Tyr209Asn mutation is established.
Npr3 is expressed in hard calluses of wild-type mice, suggesting a possible role of CNP (show CNP Proteins) signaling in fracture repair, especially in bone remodeling stage.
NPR-C is required to control DNA damage-induced p53 (show TP53 Proteins) levels to maintain embryonic stem cell self-renewal.
Results demonstrate the opposite effects of NPR-A (show NPR1 Proteins) and NPR-C in LPS (show TLR4 Proteins)-mediated endothelial permeability and lung injury.
A stratified transcriptomics analysis of polygenic fat and lean mouse adipose tissues identifies Npr3 as novel candidate obesity genes.
Upregulation of NPR-C mRNA in the kidney and heart of eNOS (show NOS3 Proteins) knockout mice.
CNP (show CNP Proteins) has negative chronotropic effect on heart rate, and this effect is mediated by selectively activating NPR-C and reducing L-type Ca2 (show CA2 Proteins)+ current through coupling to Gi protein.
circulating ANP (show NPPA Proteins) levels and data from NPR1 (show NPR1 Proteins)(-/-) and NPR3(-/-) mice suggest that the ANP (show NPPA Proteins) pathway may not be involved in the cardiovascular response to caloric restriction
discussion of neuronal regulation and function of natriuretic peptide receptor C [review]
This study suggested that NPR3 rs2270915 polymorphism was associated with decreased systolic blood pressure level marginally in essential hypertension patients in a Chinese Han population; the polymorphism may function through decreasing NPR3 mRNA expression and ANP (show NPPA Proteins) level.
NPR-C gene single nucleotide polymorphisms significantly contribute to CAD susceptibility in the Chinese Han population
The NPRC genetic variant,Rs1847018, is a genetic marker of essential hypertension.
This study focused on the natriuretic peptide receptor C gene (NPR3). The correlation analysis between NPR3 and hypertension was replicated in 450 Chinese Dai (show ZBP1 Proteins) and 484 Chinese Mongolian individuals.
Angiotensin II downregulates vascular smooth muscle cell NPR-C gene expression by destabilizing its mRNA.
Results from this study point to a role for miR-100 in the regulation of NPR3 expression, and suggest a possible therapeutic target for modulation of NP bioactivity in heart disease.
Data show that natriuretic peptide receptor 3 (NPR3) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is independently associated with diastolic dysfunction and does not appear to be related to alterations in circulating levels of natriuretic peptides.
The significant change in NPR3 protein was observed for the Arg146 variant allozyme, with 20% of wild-type protein, primarily because of autophagy-dependent degradation.
polymorphisms or haplotype in NPR3 gene may influence the risk of ischemic stroke or hypertension independently in Chinese population.
a NPR3 promoter gene variant could have a role on cerebrovascular disease susceptibility
This gene encodes one of three natriuretic peptide receptors. Natriutetic peptides are small peptides which regulate blood volume and pressure, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac function as well as some metabolic and growth processes. The product of this gene encodes a natriuretic peptide receptor responsible for clearing circulating and extracellular natriuretic peptides through endocytosis of the receptor. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

The latest charts out of Oricon and Yahoo-Japan contain some good news for PS2 owners. Two new PS2 games have entered the list and join The Bouncer and Mobile Suit Gundam in making the PS2 dream come alive in Japan.
Topping this list is none other than Space Venus Starring Morning Musume. This create your own video video game stars one of the hottest J-Pop groups around and makes use of some sort of new camera technology developed within Sony. See this story for more on the game.
Also entering the list is Sagashi ni Ikouyou, SCE's second RPG following Dark Cloud. The game didn't get the highest ratings in the Japanese mags, and it has no J-pop affiliations what-so-ever, so we'll have to see how long it actually stays in the list.
The entire Japanese daily top ten list can be seen on the front page at the bottom of the news section. It's updated every weekday, so check it frequently!

So I have the player with a different set of attacks, set to the keys ZXCVBNM, spacebar, and both the mouse buttons. You can inner change attacks like hot slots. I'm creating a new one, thats only made for the right click at the moment, that you hold down the mouse button, and the first frame of the animation plays. Then when you release the mouse button, the second plays. Quite simple. I want it so when I click, the first frame of the animation plays, and then the second, not instantly jumping to the second. But I only want it to damage an enemy or whatever on the second frame. For some reason I guess my "Else" events are preventing me from doing it that way? I'm not sure. Basically I want the animation to play when I click, not after I release, and damage other sprites on the second frame. Apologies for being bad at describing things. Dropbox link bellow:
https : // www . dropbox.com /s/v6g91z1cj131aa1/Project.capx?dl=0
The attack you can select from the bottom menu, on the right click thingy. Its called smash. The Slash and fly are already finished. Try selecting the smash and see where I'm running into issues. Ive got over 300 events so if you need help navigating my event sheet let me know. Any critique is greatly appreciated~

This book and CD set is all about helping your children to learn letter sounds and improve their language skills. It comes with a guide, a CD with popular tunes and a book to help you all along the way for a mere £5.46 including free delivery at Amazon.
I am a firm believer in adding something extra to my child's schooling from home. Not that I'm a scary pushy mum (at least I hope I'm not!) but rather that I want her to have the same passion for words and reading as I do.
This set has been talked about in my mum circles before and a lot of other mums have said that they really like it and that they've seen a big difference in their child's language skills. The set that is on offer here should be a perfect starting place for you and your little one.
The site also has a ton of other books from the same range on special such as the Jolly Phonics Word Book at only £1.98 and the workbooks for £7.13. There are loads more so bung them together, get free delivery and happy learning!
Thanks to lucerysmum at HUKD!

Natalie trained in Forrest Yoga and iRest meditation with world-renowned teachers Ana Forrest and James Reeves. With over 800 hours of training and teaching experience, her sessions are designed to gift her students with skills they can use to heal themselves both on and off the mat. Born with the spinal condition Scoliosis, she is an expert at working with and modifying sessions for injuries or pain.
Having learnt to open and strengthen her own body through yoga and stabilise her curvature, as well as increase her body-image confidence, she loves helping her students do the same and experience the magic and peace of mind that only yoga and meditation can bring to someone's life.
Natalie is currently teaching privately. To inquire about a session with her, use the contact form below.
Contact Natalie
Natalie chose to train with Ana Forrest, not because she wanted to become a teacher at the time, but because she wanted to get herself out of the stuck place she was in during her life at that point and heal her debilitating spinal pain from Scoliosis. Ana Forrest turned out to be the ass-kicking, bullshit-calling teacher to help her do just that!
Ana's teachings can be summed-up in one word: FIERCE (see her awe-inspiring book Fierce Medicine). The rigorous yet healing practice not only gave Natalie physical tools to manage her chronic pain, but also the emotional mindset that she needed to be able to make the huge life changing decisions that have got her to where she is today.
Forrest Yoga helped Natalie retrace her lost voice, learn how to truth-speak to herself and to others, and gave her the space she needed to cultivate strength, discipline and confidence.
Natalie cites the practice as having 'brought her back to life'. She ended up choosing to become a teacher despite going into the training without that intention, and cherishes every chance she has to share this life-changing yoga practice with her clients.
Natalie is also an iRest Yoga Nidra teacher. iRest stands for Integrative Restoration and Yoga Nidra means 'Yoga Sleep'. The iRest practice is a deeply relaxing and transformative meditation that helps people through difficult times of their lives and is also fantastic for anyone who has trouble relaxing or dealing with stress. It has been used with amazing results to treat anyone suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome, Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, Chronic pain or Chemical dependency.
Just a few short sessions of iRest teach clients how to release negative thought patterns and emotions, calm their nervous system, and help them develop a 'tool box' to be able to meet and deal with all the circumstances they may find themselves in during daily life.
Natalie works with private students and corporate groups providing mindfulness and meditation trainings and workshops. She has also worked with drug rehabilitation patients and recovering alcoholics, helping them reconnect to their bodies through Forrest Yoga.

The Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) has adjusted its strategy to focus more on emerging markets, particularly in Asia. Of particular interest are commodity-rich countries with large and young populations at early stages of industrialization. In its 2010 Portfolio Management Report (PDF link), Chief Investment Officer Ng Kok Song wrote that GIC sees a potentially prolonged economic slowdown in the developed world thanks to debt deleveraging and austerity programs, while emerging markets should enjoy better credit ratings (with increased inflation risk).
Investment in emerging economies has been a significant part of GIC's strategy since 2003, when it defined emerging market equities as a separate asset class. Since then it has built its expertise in asset management and trading in emerging market public and private equities, fixed income and real estate. The report also said GIC's portfolio was in 'good shape' overall, and it had recouped most of its losses from the global financial crisis.

Registered users have the ability to create a street team and invite their friends to it. Street teams a promotional teams that assist venues and promoters to help sell tickets. Its important when registering to identify the categories you want your team to be associated with as promoters will look for your teams based on their event category as the best choice to help sell tickets.
Street teams earn commissions and receieve discounts when selling tickets on behalf of venues and promoters. They are assigned to tickets for events and they use their code in their street team dashboard (after creating team) to market the event to their own mailing lists and social media sites like facebook, instagram and twitter or whatsapp and other platforms. Every time a user uses your link or code to buy a ticket you receive a commission on the sale. Commissions are paid out 48 hours after an event completes as long as that event is not cancelled or disputed.
Street teams can download the app and leaders can control their street team from either web or app. There are discussions boards in each event assigned as well as leader boards to show who is selling the most tickets.
Promoters and Venues:
You can assign street teams from their profiles or directly from your dashboard in manage events. You can assign them when creating the tickets or after when the tickets are published.
Users selling Resale Tickets through the site get paid after the event has been completed within 48 hours unless a dispute has been lodged.
Disputes can be made by buyers who did not receieve what was promised with the resale ticket. Generally internal resale tickets those made for ticketmart listed events for sale have a lower dispute resolution due to internal processes protecting the buyer and seller.
Users list their ticket for sale by either purchasing a ticket and reselling through purchases and resale listing, they can choose to boost their resale ticket to be more visible or leave it on the list. Resale is activated by the promoter or venue and is only for authorised tickets.
Tickets bought from other ticketing agencies can also be resold on ticketmart but only if the event is listed on ticketmart website. You can resell an eticket only online however you can resell using a hard copy ticket with the ticketmart app which is available from playstore. IOS version is coming soon.
IF events are cancelled at any point the system will refund direct to your point of purchase minus transaction and handling fees.
Resale Sales get paid 48 hours after an event to allow for dispute resolution, and security practices. The money goes directly into your e-wallet where it can be withdrawn by paypal to your paypal account or you can choose a manual bank transfer in which it takes up to 5 business days to settle and be paid into your account.
There are 2 types of auctions available on ticketmart. Private and Public Auctions.
Private Auctions are available to sellers to utilise. Private auctions are auctions that have a set minimum fee and all bids are made privately and sent to the seller. The seller will then approve or counter or reject your offer for the ticket.
Public Auctions are available to sellers to utilise. Public auctions are similar to an ebay auction and are auctions that have a minimum fee that when bidded on increases in value until a timer runs out. The highest bidder at the end of the auction will win. Or alternatively an auction may be cut short and a winner picked by the auction seller.
Auction tickets are the same as normal tickets however you place a bid and wait to see if you have won. If you win you will receive a notifcation tell you that you have won as well as a link to purchsae the ticket.
If you receive a counter offer it is up to you if you want to accept or reject or counter the new offer.
All bids are final and binding, so if you win an auction you are expected to buy the ticket for the price set.
From time to time a promoter or venue will activate a bid buy ticket. This enables you the customer/buyer to bid on tickets lower then normal prices, and choose the price you want to pay. However in order to win the bid which is instant you must correctly bid within the price range set. Winning bidders will instantly be able to buy and download the ticket with no delay. If you do not win you can keep bidding until you win. There are always a limited number of tickets assigned to bidding so get in quick when its available. Wining bidders can only bid once but may choose multiple tickets to buy with the correct bid.

Currently parked up at a small CL just east of Halton, near to J34 of the M6. But before that….
We'd spent the New Year at the Ponciau Princesses Summer Residence in Dorset, although the sun was sadly lacking and it was pretty grim down south! This feeling of doom was heightened by the rather large tree lying in the garden of a nearby house. However a couple of bottles of xmas vino soon put that right. This will be our last trip to this area for a while, we'll miss it.
We saw the New Year in at The Granary in Wareham. They'd organised a Thai Evening, TBH I wasn't really bothered about venturing out on New Years Eve, but I really enjoyed the night, the food was great and so was the company. Well worth it.
Weather State = Poor
Hangover Level – 6.
I did not venture outside until the 2nd Jan 2014!
2nd Jan: Visited the bay at Kimmeridge, Dorset. Interesting place, lots of fossils(including me..strikes bell) and rock formations. Seemingly this is also a popular surfing spot, I have to say they were conspicuous by their absence on this particular day.
Yesterday the 3rd Jan, we did a 6hr fighting withdrawal from the county of Dorset, closely followed by high winds, sweeping rain, large hail stones, a double rainbow and the kitchen sink!
On arrival in Lancashire all we had to contend with was high winds….the van was rocking n rolling….and not in a good way. Anyway, we survived and this morning we emerged from the Chucklebus to enjoy the vista from our high position towards the costal area of Morcambe. Great views.
So I got the Chucklebus team cracking….and heartily breakfasted on fresh white bread, poached eggs and Yorkshire Tea…(Maybe I should start blogging in the style of a victorian mill owner?).
Looking around the site here at Laverick Hall, its quite a nice spot, all hardstandings, good TV signal, shower and toilets, Mutts tells me he's pleased with the large enclosed field for dogs as well. Not bad for £14 per night. Absolutely quiet and and peaceful, but only a few mins from the M6.
Later we walked the kilometre or so to the village of Halton and picked up the footpath that follows the River Lune to the famous beauty spot "Crook o Lune", where the river comes back on itself forming the shape of a shepards crook. This was made famous by the painter JMW Turner who painted the scene in the early 1800's:
We followed the millennium tarmac footpath for a short distance then diverted onto a public footpath that runs alongside the river, the Mutt was a lot happier on this, to the extent that he got so excited that he promptly fell into the river!!…He wasn't so keen on that. Fortunately it was calm and he scrambled out quickly, hurting nothing more than his pride, for a water dog, he doesn't seem to like getting wet very much!
We enjoyed the walk, even the 2km uphill bit back to the campsite! So now we're sat back in the Chucklebus, feasting on fine ale and vittals served by the wench (geddit? Victorian mill owner blog stylee).
Tomorrow a short jaunt slightly further north for family business, then swiftly back to N Wales on the same day.
A Happy New Year From the Chucklebus Crew.
Thats is all

The first step towards abolition is the widespread public understanding that human rentals are illegitimate. Education about inalienable rights can occur at a grassroots level despite its absence from the formal education system and routine self censorship of the mass media. It is of course the goal of the human rental system and its substantial supporting infrastructure to ensure this kind of education never occurs.
In the age of the internet and mass communications a select few ideas or news items spread quickly and become widely known, while the vast majority get buried. The selection of what will become widely known is highly random. Certain ideas that conform to the doctrinal system or at least don't directly contradict it have the best chance of beating the odds. Public relations campaigns and advertising skew this selection process and can easily channel perceptions into acceptable modes of thought.
Yet every so often unwanted ideas slip through. A successful propaganda system will make "the truth" seem so foreign that it is simply dismissed as too outrageous to be taken seriously. The idea that inalienable rights might be applied to human rentals falls into this category. The education necessary to over come this trained reaction requires more than a simple slogan or quick sound bite. It is something that this website will hopefully help surmount.
There are several common responses upon learning that human rentals violate inalienable rights. Probably the most common is some variant of "Human rentals don't seem wrong", or "What's immoral about my job." Another version is "I don't feel like anything is wrong with renting myself."
An analogy with slavery may be helpful. House slaves (as opposed to their field counterparts) tended not to express discontent with their position. Some were willful slaves who genuinely believed that there was nothing wrong with their position. However, their willingness to be slaves did not mean their inalienable rights were not being violated. Widespread support by slaves or the population at large does not negate inalienable rights arguments or legitimize the institution of slavery. The same is true of human rentals.
While the topic is by no means simple, the emphasis needs to be on popular (not academic) education. The academic record is well populated with David Ellerman's writing and has been for decades. In the pure sciences we would hail Ellerman's insight and analysis, commend the thoroughness of his arguments, award a Noble Prize, and never hear of human rentals as a valid form of labor again. In economics we're stuck fighting dead ideas.
In the end education and awareness are necessary but not sufficient, structural change is also needed. The structure of work and the employment system must be fundamentally changed.

One year in Malawi as a solar energy entrepreneur
Off-grid solar energy is a solution that may make electricity available very fast for the over 1 mrd people living without access to electricity at home. In this lecture, Trygve Mongstad will share his experience from Malawi, where he worked for one year as a solar energy entrepreneur through a project funded by FK Norway and the Norwegian Department of Foreign Affairs.
Foto: Kumudzi Kuwale Ltd.
Large cost reductions over the last years have made solar energy technology more available, and it is spreading fast to households and small businesses in off-grid regions all over the world.
Trygve Mongstad's job was to establish a solar energy company – a social enterprise owned by a local non-profit organisation. Over the year, the enterprise grew, a solar shop was opened and several strategies to reach out to local households with affordable energy solutions were tested.
In this lecture, Mongstad will elaborate on his experience, and shed light on the technical and the social challenges related to introducing solar electricity to those living in "energy poverty".
Mongstad normally works as a researcher for Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) and has a PhD degree in physics from the University of Oslo.

Or how will the server detect that an object is no longer used by a client system. In order to manage garbage collection in a remoting environment .net uses mechanisms like LeaseTime, SponsorshipTime, RenewonCallTime and LeaseManagerPollTime. This is also known as Leasing Distributed Garbage Collector (LDGC)LeaseTime – LeaseTime property is set to define the time an object will be alive on a server. The default value will be 5 minutes, which means a remoting object created on the server will be alive for five minutes. We can increase or decrease this value based on requirement.RenewonCallTime – This property define the time an object will be alive after a call made to the server. The default value will be two minutesSponsorshipTime – When the life time of an object becomes zero, it waits for a sponsor to become available. This is known as SponsorshipTime and the default value will be two minutes.LeaseManagerPollTime – The time a sponsor has to return a lease time extension is known as LeaseManagerPollTime

A Muscovite by birth, I grew up in the Netherlands, and obtained my B.A. and M.Phil. in Linguistics at Leiden University. After this, I was lucky enough to join the PhD program in Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Here, I wrote a dissertation
After a year at Harvard University, I am currently a Senior Lecturer with Linguistics and Modern Languages at the University of Huddersfield, where I continue my research program in computational and theoretical phonology while teaching general linguistics, phonetics, phonology, and linguistic fieldwork.
In my free time, I like to admire good architecture and painting (especially from the mid 20th century), enjoy some opera, read up on vintage recipes, and take the train to new and exciting places. I also enjoy playing the piano and singing when I can find the time.

Telecom Consulting Services
Gartner estimated that B2B IT spend will reach $4.1tn in 2017 and of that amount, 40% will be within Telecommunications *
Telecom services are the backbone of most businesses, working hard behind the scenes. The ideal is to have effective telecom services that help your business run seamlessly and efficiently.
Paying for excessive or inappropriate telecom services can be a huge and unnecessary waste of money
However, not every telecom solution is right for every business, and it's possible to have the wrong services for your company.
European businesses are still paying too much for telecommunication services such as telephony (fixed and mobile), text messaging and data usage on mobile devices
Communications services will continue to be the largest IT spending segment in 2015 with spending at nearly $1.5 trillion.
The real problem facing companies is the complexity of the European and global telecom market, which makes it difficult to negotiate competitive contracts with telecom providers.
Alert – Your Virtual Telecom Department
Our first order of business is reducing your telecom spend. But that isn't our end goal. It's just the beginning. We have the carrier relationships, technology, experience and expertise to operate as an extension of your staff, freeing up valuable capital and human resources that can be directed to other areas of your business.
Let us help you!
We partner with your personnel to reduce expenses and manage the entire telecommunications lifecycle.
Telecom Consulting Services
(*The Gartner Worldwide IT Spending Forecast is the leading indicator of major technology trends across the hardware, software, IT services and telecom markets).
Service Optimization
Telecom rates and promotions change all the time, but many companies are stuck wasting money on outdated plans, being billed for service overages or unused usage, and even disconnected services. Telecom consultants can review your current bills and make sure you're in the right plan for your business needs.
Request For Proposal
You're always in a better position to negotiate rates when you do so with an RFP. When you conduct a formal RFP process you get services at a more competitive rate.
Contract Negotiation
You don't have to settle for whatever terms are offered in a telecom contract. Very often, you can leverage a better deal if you have inside knowledge of what kind of terms are being offered elsewhere in the industry. Few people understand the complicated pricing structures, tariffs and service guides, and rate comparisons are hard to find. A telecom consulting service has the deeper understanding of these issues and can help you negotiate a more favorable contract.
Sourcing solutions evaluate your current plans and compare them to benchmarked data and your future goals. Many sourcing solutions can work with a company of any size to cover voice, data, wireless, conferencing and expense management. A 20 percent reduction in total telecom costs is completely attainable.
Successful sourcing initiatives begin with a thorough understanding of all current assets, a clearly defined strategy and the right market intelligence.
Telecom Audit
Let an experienced and knowledgeable consultant perform a thorough audit of your telecom services. Telecom services are a very high line item expense for most businesses and nearly 80 percent of bills contain errors. Telecom bills can be very complicated and difficult to read and interpret, so it can be difficult to spot billing errors. An effective telecom audit is non-intrusive and the auditing services can be done from the office.
We first conduct an audit of your telecom bills to discover opportunities for savings. We then negotiate directly with your vendors to correct errors and get you the best pricing on monthly service.
Often, after we find savings, we can begin the process of recovering erroneous charges dating back as far as five years.
Ask for a FREE CONSULTATION.
Telecom Expense Management
Since telecom services are such a major part of your budget, they're not something you can just think about once and forget. Whether you do it on your own, or work with a consulting service you need to review your services and invoices on a regular basis, so you can adapt and change as necessary.

Ho, ho, ho! Yes, it's me, Marc Hershon. Your host and Santa Claus for Epi123 of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. My gift for you this year? It's another installment of Succotash Chats, where I feature a conversation with someone associated with podcasting in one way of another. And this Christmas edition is not different, as our Special Guest is none other than Wayne Federman!
I thought he'd be the perfect holiday treat since, just like Jesus, he's Jewish, funny, and occasionally misunderstood. Wow. That comparison would draw SO much hate mail from fans of both Jesus and Wayne…IF anyone actually listened to this show.
Wayne's a great guy, a funny comedian, and a delightful actor, not to mention the co-host of a podcast called Human Conversation, with Erin McGathy. Regular Succotash listeners may remember I spoke with Wayne during multi-part Epi116 back in September when I was at the LA Podfest. We've got more time to delve into things this time around and we get into his long time served on the comedy stage, his podcast experience, and some other topics besides.
In addition to my chat with Mr. Federman, we have a double dose of our Burst O' Durst with political comedian and social commentator Will Durst, a brand new Henderson's Pants commercial penned by our friend Harry White and featuring our own Bill Heywatt, back in fine form after a brief illness.
In fact, as a special Christmas treat for you and your hole…family, we have Bill singing a special holiday song!
Speaking of songs, we also have a new and bizarre a cappella tune from Abner Serd, which will immediately follow the Tweetsack this time around, and before Mr. Durst's second segment.
Before we get into the stuff, I just wanted to wish you and yours a happy holiday season, whichever holiday you celebrate. And that includes no holiday at all, depending where in the world you might be or whatever your philosophy might entail.
Sometimes I feel like Succotash is out on the Island of Misfit Podcasts, since we're mostly playing clips and promoting other comedy podcasts and we only generate a tiny amount of our own material, plus some interesting interviews with cool people connected to podcasting.
We're not fancy by any means, and we're not the kind of show a podcast network is keen to pick up — what network wants to be promoting podcasts that aren't on that network? And we don't have much sponsor appeal it seems, either.
But YOU'RE listening to Succotash and that means the world to me. When I started the show almost 5 years ago — FIVE years! — I didn't know if anyone would want to listen but you and a lot of other people have proven that there's an audience for what we do at Succotash, and I want you to know that its' really appreciated.
I want to thank the crew here, too, especially our producer/engineer Joe Paulino, our announcer Bill Heywatt, and especially our Associate Producer Tyson Saner, without whose help this show might have stalled out. Harvesting clips is no easy task. It reminds me of my days as a segment producer for a clip show on TV — largely thankless but imminently the hull that keeps the whole damn ship afloat.
I also want to thank all the comedy podcasters that we've clipped this past year for their generosity in letting us pick and choose what we want to feature from their shows.
And, of course, I want to thank the guests that have been kind enough to let us visit with them on the Succotash Chats editions of the show. I've enjoyed every interview we've presented for you. Sometimes the audio quality hasn't been the best but I'd rather take the opportunity to interview someone when the moment presents itself rather than to be overly precious with making sure we can get the best location to record it in. Just because I've lost a couple of chances to chat it up by doing that and it doesn't seem worth missing those opportunities.
That's going to put a bow around the Christmas gift that has been this episode of Succotash Chats, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. Thanks again to Wayne Federman and thanks again to YOU! May you and yours have an absolutely stupendous time this holiday season and if you forgot someone on your gift list this year, you can always make it up to them by passing them the Succotash!

Yes, it's me — Marc Hershon, your host and rattan patio furniture, covered for the winter — and this is Epi 121 of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. It's another Succotash Chats edition, featuring my recent interview with Franklin Leonard, the creator and host of The Black List Table Reads.
Franklin's got a pretty fascinating history, including working with both Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith's production companies, and we talk about that and more. The Black List Table Reads is a pretty unique podcast, just starting its second season, featuring recorded table reads of full-on, feature-length motion picture scripts that have not yet been produced but have been voted as the most popular on the Black List website, which our guest is also the brains behind.
(Just to give you a taste of what it's like to hear a movie being read aloud — it's a bit like an old-style radio drama from the 1930's an d40's — we feature a few minutes from a couple of the film scripts Franklin features, one from their last season and one from the first movie to kick of Season Two, just last week.)
A Succotash Exclusive!
In the spirit of The Black List Table Reads, after my interview with Franklin is over, I play a few minutes from an unproduced screenplay I help Dana Carvey to write almost a decade ago. It's a comedy called The Happy Idiot…and hearing these few minutes on Succotash is likely to be the most of it you're ever going to find.
But That's Not All
We've also got our Burst O' Durst segment with our own political comedian and social commentator Will Durst (if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area this holiday season, be sure to check out Will's Big Fat Year-End Kiss-Off Comedy Show, playing all over the place between Christmas and into the New Year.); a classic ad for Henderson's Holiday Pants;, a dip into the Tweetsack and, at the very end of the show, yet another acapella masterpiece by our friend Abner Serd, whose Tall Tales & Shaggy Dogs podcast offering is available via iTunes.
A Holiday Plea
Please, friends, remember that we need YOUR favorable reviews and comments to grow the crap out of Succotash and, if you're NOT going to give us money by clicking on our Donate button, or shopping through our Amazon link or buying merch from our Succotashery — all availalbe through http://SuccotashShow.com — you can at least throw us a bone and give us a glowing review on iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher, or wherever you might run across our humble podcast.
Our next installment is going to be a Succotash Clips episode, I'm pretty sure, and we'll bring you a buffet of podcast snippets from all over the place. In the meantime, won't you please remember to pass the Succotash?!

What? Me, Marc Hershon, your host and toaster pastry? Back within a week with another installment of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast? Yes, it's true.
This is Succotash Clips, Epi 120. And we have a Thanksgiving Feast of comedy podcast clips for you. It's a veritable spread of different flavors and — given the humor in some of them — truly a groaning board of a clip buffet in store for your ears this time around.
We've got The All-Seeing Guys, Bitter Sound, Ear Goggles, Ice & The Face, The McCue Report, Primalcast, The Reigning Lunatic, Rob & Slim, The Vince Wylde Show and Who Charted?
In addition to that earload, we've got a visit to the Podcast Graveyard, courtesy of our associate producer Tyson Saner, who also harvested a number of the clips we've got on hand. We also have another double dose of our Burst O' Durst with political comedian and social commentator Will Durst, a rummage around the ol' Tweetsack, and a brand new Henderson's Pants commercial.
Other than our ads from Henderson's Pants, Succotash remains fitfully sponsor-free. The good news: you aren't burdened by listening to those pesky ads. The bad news: money to keep this show going basically comes out of my pocket. You can help out with one of several methods, all done by visiting our homesite at http://SuccotashShow.com. You can click on the Donate button and shoot us some moolah. You can click on the Amazon banner at the top of the page and buy stuff at Amazon, then they give us a slice off the top. Or you can click on the link to our Succotashery and purch some merch, a percentage of which comes back to us after they print up whatever you buy. Or you can keep on listening to this show for free and just know that, in the back of my head, I'm thinking you're just an electronic freeloader. No guilt, no judgement, though.
The Clips
Ear Goggles
The Rob & Slim Show
The Bitter Sound
The Reigning Lunatic
Ice & The Face
Who Charted?
The Vince Wylde Show
The McCue Report
The All Seeing Guys
As I said, a cornucopia of podcasts for your Thanksgiving week listening pleasure. Take us with you on that long drive to the relatives' house or listen while you're digesting on the couch after stuffing your face. And for those of you NOT in the United States, have a great Thursday and Friday.
Whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving or not, remember that I don't care if you pass the turkey or the stuffing or the pumpkin pie, but I will always thank you for passing the Succotash!

Oh, yes, it's me, Marc Hershon. Your host and benign growth for Epi119 of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. And finally we have a Succotash Chats episode for you!
The last chats I had were in relation to the Los Angeles Podcast Festival about two months ago. And while I enjoy featuring comedy podcast clips as much as the next guy who hosts a show featuring comedy podcast clips, it's enjoyable for me to sit back and chat it up with some fun and/or funny people.
Our special guest this episode is actor/comedian Brian Haley, a guy I've known for 30 years, dating back to when I used to run the Comedy Underground club in Seattle. As you'll hear in this interview, he quickly leapt from the standup stage to roles on television and in the movies, and he talk about his regret at not spending more time in the comedy realm.
We talk about some of the roles you'd know Brian from, including the season he did on NBC's Wings, the Coen Brothers' The Man Who Wasn't There, the film Always, directed by Steven Spielberg, Baby's Day Out, which made him a huge star in India of all places, and more.
But Succotash IS a podcast about other podcasts, primarily comedy-based but when there's a comedian involved somewhere in the mix, that pretty much makes any podcast a comedy podcast, right? And Brian has a role in a new podcast being produced by GE of all people, something called The Message. I'm fascinated by it, and we talk about that show and Brian's role in it. We'll give a listen to a clip from The Message as well.
What Else?
In addition to our chat with Brian Haley, we have a double dose of our Burst O' Durst segment with political comedian and social commentator Will Durst. We also have a Henderson's Pants ad, we'll take a gander into the Tweetsack, AND we have a new acapella song by our friend Abner Serd, a sweet ditty about Autumn, which we'll play at the end of the show.
I wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who have been using the Amazon banner at the top of our homesite, at http://SuccotashShow.com, to do your shopping at Amazon.com. Every time you do that, we get a little taste off the top of your purchase at no extra cost to you. And lately we've been getting a nice tidy direct deposit from Amazon into the Succotash coffers, which is helping to defray the costs of producing this show.
The other thing that helps us out is when you take the time to rate and review Succotash on iTunes. I wanted to give a shout out to Rick from the Ice and The Face podcast and also CEO Pistol Petey for posting a couple of lovely 5-star reviews! Thank you guys very much.
We'll be back really soon with a Succotash Clips episode, with soundbites from a whole bunch of comedy podcasts. In the meantime, let your friends know about us and we'll cheerfully thank YOU for passing the Succotash!

Yes, it's me, Marc Hershon. Your host and non-Presidential candidate for Epi118 of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. This is another Succotash Clips episode. It's been awhile since we've had a long Succotash "Chatsisode", but I have a few potential interviews lined up for the next couple of weeks. We'll see if anyone wants to talk to me and, if they do, then we'll see if you want to listen to it.
See how that works?
For new listeners to this here podcast, and just as a reminder to you old ears out there, we feature clips of other comedy podcasts as way to let you know what's going on out there in Podcastland. It's basically a public service and, checking the level of donations lately, we're definitely not-for-profit. Oh, we'll take your money. We just need to find someone who wants to give us some. We also interview podcasters, comedians, and comedy podcasters, as well as other interesting people we happen to find.
The last episode of this show ran kinda long – about an hour and a half – and one of the reasons I split Succotash up into Clips and Chats in the first place was to get the show length down a little bit. This week should be a tight, tidy little program. Which means you can get back to your regular life, already in progress, very quickly.
Coming up, clipwise, in this installment of Succotash Clips is Pipedream, Radio BrendoMan, Think Again, VICE, and Worst Collection Ever. In addition we have a double dose of our Burst O' Durst segment with comedian & social commentator Will Durst, a classic Henderson's Pants commercial, and another end-of-the-show acapella song by regular contributor Abner Serd.
Other Business
I don't think I have much in the way of business to get to, just the usual stuff nobody seems to pay much attention to, such as clicking the Donate button at the http://SuccotashShow.com website to help us out since we don't have sponsors other than Henderson's Pants…which doesn't pay us squat. And if money is something you don't want to spoil us with because you're afraid that me, our producer Joe Paulino and announcer Bill Heywatt will just go out and drink it up – you may be right, actually – then get up to iTunes and give us a nice rating and a short review.
Our friend Travis Clark of Tiny Odd Conversations is in town this week, performing Tuesday night at the Throckmorton Theatre, so I'm going to get together with he and his wife-sash-co-host…or is that co-host-slash-wife…Brandy for dinner.
And if you're in the Marin County area on Thursday night this week, I'll be MC'ing a screening of the 3 Still Standing documentary and a live comedy show by the three guys featured in the film: Johnny Steele, Larry Brown, and our very own Will Durst. That will be at the Rafael Film Center this Thursday night starting at 7:30 PM. There's a link in the blog piece for this episode at http://SuccotashShow.com to get more information.
Worst Collection Ever
Radio BrendoMan
Think Again
The VICE Podcast
We're all done with Succotash Clips, Epi 118, and that didn't hurt a bit, did it? I'm going to give you a virtual lollypop for being so brave. Until next time, thanks very much for passing the Succotash!

Yeppers, it's me, Marc Hershon. Your host and inflatable arm-flailing tubeman for Epi117 of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. This is a Succotash Clips episode with one exception, which I'll 'splain in a sec. I'm happy to have our associate producer Tyson Saner back helping me to harvest clips of podcasts far and wide. He was a little overwhelmed doing some moving recently so we gave him some well-earned vacation time from listenin' and snippin'. But he's back and we've got some interesting clips to get to.
I'm one week back from the 4th Annual LA Podcast Festival and what a time I had. I was mostly dug in at the SquareSpace Podcast Lab, interviewing a few podcasters and then cutting, prepping and uploading those "minisodes". (You can find them all listed, essentially, under Epi116 at http://SuccotashShow.com and iTunes. I forgot to get them up to SoundCloud, but I'll do that soon just to have them up there as well.)
There was one last interview that I didn't get a chance to produce and upload. That was with Michael John Simpson, co-host of The Something Something Experience podcast , so I'm going to break protocol — God, the network hates when I do this — and play that interview and a clip from Michael's podcast as well.
In addition to his show, we've got clippage from The Chillpak Hollywood Hour, The Mild Adventures of Fred Stoller, Human Conversation, Taco Tuesday, The Talking Podcast, The Hooray Show, The New Hollywood podcast, and the Why Didn't They Laugh? podcast.
We also have a double dose of our Burst O' Durst segment, featuring political comedian and social commentator Will Durst, a classic Henderson's Pants commercial, and an absurd folk song from our musical buddy, Abner Serd. Be sure to listen for that following Bill Heywatt's closing credits.
Chillpak Hollywood Hour
The New Hollywood
Human Conversation
The Mild Adventures of Fred Stoller
The Hooray Show
The Talking Podcast
Taco Tuesday
Why Didn't They Laugh?
The Something Something Experience
Thanks for stuffing your ears full of Succotash Clips (with a little bit o' chat). If you'd like to do a little something-something to pay us back for all this free chuckle n' jivin', we would adore your ratings and reviews up on iTunes, your thumbs-ups and reviews on Stitcher, a heart on SoundCloud, a Like on Facebook, a click on our Donate button or Amazon banner at http://SuccotashShow.com — any or all of those options will make us all very happy around Studio P and some of them will even get you mentioned on an upcoming episode of our show!
Until next time, thanks very much for passing the Succotash!

Yes, it's still Marc Hershon and I'm still at the 4th Annual Los Angeles Podcast Festival. Taking up space in the SquareSpace Podcast Lab and interviewing comedians, podcasters, and comedian-podcasters as they breeze through the doorway.
I'm releasing each interview as its own "minisode", and this is the sixth in the lineup, which is why it is Episode 116F. And my guest this time around was our guest on a full episode of Succotash back in Epi109 in May: Greg Proops. At this festival, he's guesting on Jackie Kashian's The Dork Forest, performing his own show, and guesting on Dinner Party Download.
Known for his tenure on the various incarnations of Whose Line Is It Anyway on TV, Greg is the host of The Smartest Man In The World and the Greg Proops Film Club. He's also recently released his first book, The Smartest Book In The World. And now he's on a jagged world journey — hopping, skipping, and jumping to different countries around the world to promote the book, mostly by doing his podcast in the same locales as well.
Greg and I revisit some of the topics we hit on back in May when he was on the show: The challenges of doing improv as a guest performer, keeping an act fresh, staying sane on the road, and more.
I'm posting this on Sunday, the last day of the @LAPodfest. I'm not sure who else might sweep through the portals of the Lab, but I'll grab who I can and bring those Succotash Chats to you.
Thanks for passing the Succotash!

Guess what? It's me, Marc Hershon, once again, your host and floor walker for Epi116E of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. And I'm still camped out in the SquareSpace Podcast Lab at the 4th Annual Los Angeles Podcast Festival.
This is the fifth in a lineup of Succotash Chats minisodes, and for those of you curious about the mindset behind both the @LAPodfest and Ear Buds, The Podcast Documentary, I leapt at the chance to interview Chris Mancini - heavily involved in both of those endeavors.
Chris is co-host of the well-respected Comedy Film Nerds podcast along with Graham Elwood, and the duo is also the brains and muscle behind Ear Buds. Plus they are one-half of the quartet that has pulled the Los Angeles Podcast Festival together the past four years, teamed with Dave Anthony and Andy Woods.
We talk about the movie, the festival, and what other projects Chris has simmering on the back, middle and front burners of a mind that never seems to be at rest.
I hope you're enjoying our lineup of interviews from the Podfest - there's more on the way later today, so check back frequently for updates.
Thanks for passing the Succotash!

Yes, once again from the 4th Annual Los Angeles Podcast Festival, it's me. Marc Hershon, your host and flamenco dancer for Epi116D of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. The fourth interview I did is from yesterday (Saturday), and I caught up with Jeremy and Stacy, two-thirds of the crew fromthe Ear Goggles podcast.
If you haven't heard of Ear Goggles, I don't think they'd blame you…yet. That's because for the past ten years, the two of them (along with Jeremy's half-brother Aaron) have been sailing under the Sibling Rivalry banner. I've mentioned and clipped them as such in past Succotash episodes, and we discuss why someone with a decade-long investment in a show title would decide to change now.
We cover a number of other topics as well in the course of our 20-minute chat, including the relationships between the podcast and its audience, Jeremy revealing personal things to strangers, and explore the question, "Should the cast of a comedy podcast consider themselves to be comedians?"
Keep on checking in on our stream this weekend, as I continue to upload interviews as soon as I can clean up the audio as best I can and drop them online! (And I appreciate you telling your friends and passing the SuccotashI)
