It's one thing when ignorant people make stupid comments to pregnant women, but it's another when a doctor puts a foot in her mouth.
Throughout my first pregnancy I had a lot of people ask if I was having twins. I shrugged it off figuring the clientele at Home Depot didn't have sensors for these things and that my apron made me look bigger.
Today I took the little one to the doctor and since I was there I figured I should ask about what the procedure was to have them inspect the new one at the hospital. She commented that since I had about a month left… I must have given her a look at that point because she paused and asked when I was due. Her jaw literally dropped when I said march 26. I reassured her that I had quite a few comments about my size when carrying the first one. She said so did she and she had gained 65 pounds. Foot in mouth again since I've gained 14 to date and it's all in the belly! Besides I only gained 38 with the first and that was with a month of semi bed rest and swelling from pre–eclampsia.
But she's sweet and Charlee loves her, which with doctors one cannot complain.

3 Charts Chipotle Mexican Grill Investors Need to See
These three charts sum up Chipotle's recent struggles... and opportunities.
Jamal Carnette, CFA
(TMFJcar)
Sep 16, 2016 at 12:33PM
Inspired by the idea of "making your money work for you" at a young age, mostly because he was a lazy child, Jamal parlayed that inspiration into a love of the psychology of markets, competitive advantages, and thematic investing. He later shrug off that laziness, with a career that included stints as a mortgage trainer, a stockbroker, and a corporate restructuring financial analyst at a Big 4 firm. Jamal graduated from George Mason University with a bachelors of science in finance, American University with a masters in finance, and is a CFA Charterholder.
Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) have struggled during the last year. Versus the S&P 500's return of 11%, shares of the Mexican fast-casual chain are down approximately 43%. Even with the horrible year, shares of Chipotle are up nearly 1,800% from its IPO price of $22 a share a decade ago.
Will the company continue its long-term upward trend or continue to fall? These three charts hold the key to Chipotle's path forward:
Chipotle's outbreaks are no longer high interest
The biggest issue Chipotle investors face is the continued fallout in the wake of the company's food-safety scandal. The issues started in August of 2015 when Chipotle reported an outbreak of norovirus at one California restaurant that sickened 243 people, and a salmonella outbreak in 22 restaurants across Minnesota and Wisconsin that affected 64 diners.
The situation quickly worsened with an E. coli outbreak in 11 states during October and November that added 60 reported cases. The last reported outbreak that year was a December norovirus recurrence that sickened 143 people at a restaurant in Boston.
Lucky for investors, it appears that consumer interest in Chipotle's food safety, or lack thereof, has subsided. Google Trends notes that searches for the term "Chipotle outbreak" are only slightly elevated above its pre-outbreak levels, and are much lower than its November highs.
What about comparable-restaurant sales?
Unfortunately, less interest in Chipotle-related outbreaks has not turned into full trust -- at least not with all former diners. A heavily watched metric, comparable-restaurant sales have cratered in the wake of the food-safety issue and have not returned to pre-outbreak levels. The chart below shows the continued struggles in this metric.
Source: Company financials.
There's actually a few silver linings in the chart above. First, the second quarter's year-on-year decrease of 23.6% was less of a decrease than the prior-quarter's drop of 29.7%, which points to a slowly forgiving consumer. The second positive is what financial analysts refer to as easy comparables: As a result of underperformance in 2015, specifically Q4, the company will have an easier time posting year-on-year increases.
Can it maintain premium valuations?
When compared to fast-casual competitor Panera Bread or industry stalwart McDonald's, Chipotle has traditionally been able to maintain premium valuations on account of its growth. As a result of a first-quarter EPS loss and a second-quarter year-on-year EPS drop of 80%, the premium investors are paying for earnings compared to Panera Bread and McDonald's is much higher again, back at pre-outbreak levels, even with the 43% drop in the stock price over the last year:

It appears that many Chipotle investors are giving management the benefit of the doubt and are willing to wait out this outbreak-affected period in the hopes the company will return to the growth it once had. In the event poor performance continues, it's possible that narrowed valuations will drag the stock down quickly. Conversely, the stock could return to all-time highs if management overcomes its recent struggles.
Chipotle investors should brace for volatility in the upcoming quarters as the stock market will be intensely watching to see if management can turn the company around.

1Now the famine was severe in the land. 2So it came about when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go back, buy us a little food." 3Judah spoke to him, however, saying, "The man solemnly warned us, 'You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.' 4"If you send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food. 5"But if you do not send [him], we will not go down; for the man said to us, 'You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.'" 6Then Israel said, "Why did you treat me so badly by telling the man whether you still had [another] brother?" 7But they said, "The man questioned particularly about us and our relatives, saying, Is your father still alive? Have you [another] brother?' So we answered his questions. Could we possibly know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down'?" 8Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the lad with me and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, we as well as you and our little ones. 9"I myself will be surety for him; you may hold me responsible for him. If I do not bring him [back] to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame before you forever. 10"For if we had not delayed, surely by now we could have returned twice."
11Then their father Israel said to them, "If [it must be] so, then do this: take some of the best products of the land in your bags, and carry down to the man as a present, a little balm and a little honey, aromatic gum and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds. 12"Take double [the] money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was a mistake. 13"Take your brother also, and arise, return to the man; 14and may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, so that he will release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved." 15So the men took this present, and they took double [the] money in their hand, and Benjamin; then they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
16When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his house steward, "Bring the men into the house, and slay an animal and make ready; for the men are to dine with me at noon." 17So the man did as Joseph said, and brought the men to Joseph's house. 18Now the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph's house; and they said, "[It is] because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are being brought in, that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us, and take us for slaves with our donkeys." 19So they came near to Joseph's house steward, and spoke to him at the entrance of the house, 20and said, "Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food, 21and it came about when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full. So we have brought it back in our hand. 22"We have also brought down other money in our hand to buy food; we do not know who put our money in our sacks." 23He said, "Be at ease, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them. 24Then the man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys fodder. 25So they prepared the present for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there.
26When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which was in their hand and bowed to the ground before him. 27Then he asked them about their welfare, and said, "Is your old father well, of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?" 28They said, "Your servant our father is well; he is still alive." They bowed down in homage. 29As he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, he said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?" And he said, "May God be gracious to you, my son." 30Joseph hurried [out] for he was deeply stirred over his brother, and he sought [a place] to weep; and he entered his chamber and wept there. 31Then he washed his face and came out; and he controlled himself and said, "Serve the meal." 32So they served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is loathsome to the Egyptians. 33Now they were seated before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment. 34He took portions to them from his own table, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they feasted and drank freely with him.

Wyn Hrdlicka is living a full life.
At 82, you might think Wyn Hrdlicka is ready to slow down. However, one look at her schedule and you know she has no plans to take it easy any time soon.
"I just got back from class," says Wyn. "One of my students dropped me off."
The class Wyn is referring to is a water aerobics class, one of many water fitness classes she has taught at the YMCA over the last 30 years. She still teaches courses a few days a week and has several certifications. Back when she started, the YMCA had a branch on the Guilford College campus, which was perfect since Wyn also spent 24 years as a Friends Homes employee.
Then there's the dancing. Scottish country dancing, to be precise.
"It's a forerunner to square dancing," she explains. "But there's no caller calling out the steps. You have to know the dances." You'll find Wyn on many a Tuesday afternoon on Zoom with other dancers from all over the world. Hundreds of dancers get together online each week to put on classes and share new steps through the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society.
And until recently, Wyn enjoyed traveling often. A year after she and her husband, Jim, retired in 2004 the couple "took off with a tent and a minivan all across the country," she explains, "for three months camping in National Parks. It was a wonderful experience." The epic journey took them to Sante Fe, Oregon, Vancouver, Banff, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, Zion, among other places.
More recent adventures included trips to Malaysia, New Zealand, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
Raised in Scotland, Wyn came to the United States when she was 19, married Jim and settled down in Cleveland, Ohio. When Jim's job prompted a move to Greensboro, Wyn took the opportunity to start a new career and eventually landed a job at Friends Homes in 1981 as a cashier before spending most of her time working in accounts payable.
Over the years, her Friends Homes co-workers became very much like family to Wyn. "It's a very close-knit family," Wyn says. "Just a congenial place to work… I never had a day where I felt I didn't want to come to work."
Since moving to Greensboro, the Hrdlicka family always lived close to Friends Homes, first buying a house on a street off of Fleming Road, close to what is now Bryan Boulevard. The couple raised three sons, Chuck, Eric and Jeff. Once they were empty-nesters "we hopped up to a townhome in the Brooks," she says. "Then I kept hopping up Fleming Road into Friends Homes."
Although Jim passed away in 2015, Wyn finally decided to move to Friends Homes in May 2018. And now, she enjoys running into friends old and new in the community. "The residents were always fun," she adds. "There are people here now that I worked with years ago. Now I meet people whose parents I knew when I worked here."

The Book of Unexplained Mysteries
Author : Will Pearson
Summary : Everybody loves a good mystery and sometimes the questions can be more interesting than the answers. Will Pearson investigates twenty unique mysteries with their broad spectrum of strangeness. Some, like the sudden disappearance of the sailing ship Mary Celeste's passengers and crew have gained universal currency. Was the Wow! Signal a radio transmission form deep space, or was it the ambient resonating frequency of a passing comet? Cryptids like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster teeter on the boundaries of probable and improbable, hoax and reality, fact and fiction. Whether it be the intrigue of lost civilisations, like Göblekli Tepe in Turkey, sensationalist interest in The Zodiac Killer, or the elusive Shugborough Code that neither Dickens nor Darwin could crack, each unsolved mystery presents a challenge in its own way. Occasionally, it can feel as if there's a conspiracy at work - one in which scientists, journalists and 'professional explainers' want to put an end to anything and everything mysterious in life. Thankfully, not everything can be nailed down, sucked dry of its secrets and turned into a factoid. Mysteries do still exist - and continue to tease us. Sceptic or believer, the fun lies in probing them.

Summary : There are so many mysteries in the world that cannot be explained. Amelia Earhart, in the course of one day, became one of the greatest mysteries recorded. Just like the many boats, planes and people who have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle, Earhart joined the men of Flight 19, who just faded from radar and entered into history.

Summary : In every corner of this earth there are secrets. They are hidden in the dark edge of the woods, nestled in the cold stars, and staring out from a stranger's eyes. And whether they be demonic possession or an unsolved murder, the unknown has always haunted our dreams. From the hit podcast Unexplained comes a volume perfectly crafted for the curious, the cynical, and the not-easily-frightened. Richard Maclean Smith is the expert in the unknown, and humbly offers up ten tales of real-life events that continue to evade explanation. With these chilling stories comes the missing key: a connection to our own beliefs in science, superstition, and perception. What can a case of demonic possession teach us about free will? What can a cursed box show us about the act of storytelling? What can a supposed instance of reincarnation tell us about developing a concept of the self? Perhaps some things are just better left unexplained...

Mysteries of the South
Author : Charles River Charles River Editors
Summary : *Includes pictures *Profiles mysteries like the Lost Colony of Roanoke, ghosts like the Bell Witch of Tennessee, and more *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents The American South has given birth to many of the nation's great stories and legends. From the earliest Colonial times, it's been a place of mystery, replete with disappearing colonies and strange apparitions in the woods, but the South's long and proud history has always had a darker, and stranger, side to it. One of America's most famous mysteries was its first. Despite the fact he had left over 100 colonists at the island of Roanoke in 1587, John White returned to literally nothing, with all traces of the settlement gone and no evidence of fighting or anything else that might have explained the disappearance of the inhabitants. White found the word "Croatoan" carved on a tree nearby, which he figured might mean the colonists moved to a nearby island, but he was unable to conduct a search expedition there. The Spanish also searched for the colony in hopes of wiping it out themselves, but none of the Europeans could find Roanoke's colonists or explain what happened to the "lost" colony. The fate of Roanoke has fascinated people for over 400 years, and there is no shortage of theories regarding the disappearance of the colony. In addition to the possibility that the settlers moved to Croatoan Island, most theories speculate that they were either wiped out by nearby Native Americans or assimilated among a tribe. Future settlements in the area would survive and start to flourish, and that would bring more mystery and unexplained phenomena. Tales of monsters and ghosts lurking in its woods and old houses, and strange monuments that may be from a forgotten civilization, puzzle local investigators. All the while, the early inhabitants themselves were always superstitious, whether in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and eastern Louisiana. Mysteries of the South: Ghosts, Legends, and Unexplained Phenomena in Dixie profiles a sampling of strange, unexplained, and just plain odd stories of the South that have fascinated people in and around the region for centuries. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the mysterious side of the South like never before, in no time at all.

Visitors to this year's Geneva show must have felt slightly disappointed when they walked up to some of the most widely anticipated car reveals of the year only to witness a re-designed headlight or a re-sculpted rear end.
This is the reality of yearly motor shows. A few years go by where nothing changes very much and then, all of a sudden, one year will be absolutely crazy, with all sorts of new, exciting model releases and brand new designs.
This year wasn't one of those. I don't mean to disappoint you though; any trip to the Geneva show is a special one. As per usual, we had an extensive collection of frankly ridiculous concept and tuner cars including the new final Aston Martin Valkyrie concept and a range of mad offerings from Mansory, Brabus, and Gemballa. Concept cars are pretty pointless of course, but it wouldn't be a proper motor show without them.
Tuner cars are an interesting prospect; on the surface they seem like ordinary cars completely ruined by plastering copious quantities of ridiculous carbon fibre on them, with idiotic amounts of glitter. The thing is, if you delve into the details you gain an understanding for the passion, effort, and engineering which these brands undoubtedly provide in spades, and you can actually appreciate all the changes.
Let's be honest though, anybody who drives one of these through the centre of Barnard Castle would look as out of place as a duck in Death Valley. No, we should all leave these to Middle-Eastern rich folk who have so much money they stay awake at night worrying about not spending enough.
In reality, a Mercedes Sprinter with a body crafted from granite, a twelve mile-to-the-gallon fuel tank, and an interior made from snake-skin is not what most petrol-heads are worried about.
What we are worried about though, or rather excited about, are the new spread of supercar and hypercar releases from the likes of Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Koenigsegg, Pagani, and McLaren.
Now, I don't propose to go through each of these one by one, but I think it is worth saying that what McLaren are doing in 2017 is actually scary compared to everyone else. I don't at all mean to put down any of the other manufacturer's, because it's absolutely true that I am a fan of pretty much all of them, and I think any motoring journalist would be impressed by the vast majority of them. However, whilst everyone else has been changing a headlight here or there, chopping off a roof, changing a wheel, sticking a new screen to the dashboard, and increasing horsepower, McLaren has introduced a brand new car crafted from the ground up. It's called the 720S and it will be the singularly most impressive car of 2017. Mark my words.

How Propellorhead's Software can Open Up a Whole New World of Music
Large scale musical compositions can present a number of daunting problems: how does one gain access to an orchestra, or other ensembles? Where does one find the time to organize these bodies, make sure they practice, find venues for them to play in, and make sure the composition sounds the way it's supposed to?
Or, in other genres, how does one afford all the equipment, all the effects units, compressors, and recording tools? In the past, this kind of activity was the privilege of full time composers and financially backed performers. However, Virtual Music Composition has opened up this world to anyone with the enthusiasm and artistic vision to take part in it.
Propellorhead's Reason software is a brilliant place for the virtual composer to start. It comes with a broad range of virtual instruments and sound samples, catering to most needs (other 'refills' are available on top of the standard ones, of course), and it allows for incredible freedom in arranging and producing a track.
The graphically rich interface is simple and intuitive enough to allow the new user to play with the dials, move the faders, and hook up the wires, in a safe (no risk of damaging thousands of dollars worth of equipment!) emulation of using the software's physical, 'real world' hardware counterparts.
Yet Reason has enough depth, complexity and potential hiding underneath that user friendly exterior to allow for infinite ways to organize signals, arrange instruments, and process audio – all allowing artists to achieve the kind of sound that they can already hear in their heads.
With automation abilities, allowing for volume, stereo panning, and a host of other functions to be programmed for each virtual device, the opportunities for complex art to be realized are manifold.
Virtual Composition
The software has a full compliment of orchestral sound samples, with a variety of articulation types and recorded volume levels present for each instrument.
Though not nearly as extensive as some other higher-end sound packages, such as East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra, Reason provides more than enough to give someone who wants to start out in the world of virtual orchestra a rich, intuitively arranged toolbox.
This comes together with its 'Core' sound bank, one that covers a huge range of instruments, from organs, pianos, guitars and drums, to African percussive instruments and didjeridoos. It also includes a comprehensive range of preset synthesizer sounds and present effects-device settings.
For the more advanced user, the synths and effects devices can be tweaked and toyed with to produce any number of possible results.
The software's usefulness extends into the realm of cross platform compatibility: through Propellorhead's Rewire technology, built into Reason by default, Reason can be used in conjunction with other software, such as Logic, Cubase, or Pro Tools.
This allows it to be used side by side with more audio recording oriented software, while giving a virtual composer the same access to the enormous sound banks and high quality synthesizers that are its real benefits.
Affordable Software
Coming in at $299 on Amazon – with hugely discounted major updates for life – Reason is the affordable alternative to extensive, $1000+ sound banks.
One aspect of the program that is quite remarkable is how little system-resources it takes up: a full scale orchestra, with EQ and reverb, playing a complex run in a symphonic piece, will play smoothly, without having to be mixed down to fixed audio, on a 2Gb RAM, 2.4GHz CPU system.
The program and all the sound files take up little more than 2Gb of HD space; the individual song files take up next to no space at all.
Not only does a composer no longer require a real orchestra or a real recording studio to create epic and diverse pieces, but neither do othey require a high end system, with 8Gb of RAM or more, multiple high speed processors, and endless amounts of HD space – costing several thousands of dollars.
So, as both a long term investment, with lots of complexity to discover, and lots of potential for producing or contributing to the production of professional, high quality sounds, and a starting point for anyone sitting at their computer wanting to get into the world of large scale compositions, Reason is a safe bet, and one that comes highly recommended.

Justia Dockets & Filings Sixth Circuit Michigan Eastern District Davis v. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US LLC Filing 17
Davis v. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US LLC
ORDER granting 13 defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment. Signed by District Judge George Caram Steeh. (MBea)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION VALARIE DAVIS, Plaintiff, Case No. 15-13773 HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH vs. FCA US LLC a/k/a FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILE US LLC, Defendant. __________________________/ ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (DOC. 13) Plaintiff Valarie Davis alleges two hostile work environment claims against her employer, Fiat Chrysler Automobile US LLC. Count I alleges a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Count II alleges a violation of Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA). The matter is presently before the Court on defendant's motion for summary judgment. Oral argument was held on April 25, 2017. For the reasons stated below, defendant's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED. -1- I. Background A. Alleged Discrimination Plaintiff, an African American woman, is a clay modeler (sculptor) who has worked for defendant since March 27, 2000. (Doc. 1 at PageID 2). Plaintiff alleges that she was "treated different[ly] from similarly situated white employees" and subject to "horrific discriminatory conduct" from her co-workers and managers. (Id.). Plaintiff states that this discrimination began around 2001 while she was working in Studio 1. (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 174). On April 27, 2004, plaintiff submitted a letter to Ms. Gibbs, her EEOC representative, detailing various actions by co-workers and management that she considered "blatant racial discrimination" that may be "violations" of "federal law[s]" and her "civil rights". (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 178). Plaintiff's co-workers referred to her as "chicky monkey" and their "little brown friend." (Doc. 1 at PageID 3; Doc. 13-3 at PageID 175). They commented that plaintiff, a Detroit resident, "live[d] in the ghetto." (Doc. 133 at PageID 176). While plaintiff was pregnant, they asked her if she "had chocolate milk in her breast." (Doc. 1 at PageID 3; Doc. 13-3 at PageID 175). Another co-worker used a "monkey calling device" that produced a "whistle sound. . . designed to attract monkeys" whenever she walked by. -2- (Doc. 1 at PageID 2; Doc. 13-3 at PageID 175). Plaintiff's supervisor ridiculed her for wearing a Roots sweatshirt in an apparent reference to the television miniseries, Roots, which recounts the history of an African man sold into slavery in America, and his descendants. (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 175). They referred to other African American employees as "Colored" and "made remarks about their kinky hair." (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 175). Plaintiff states that she apprised management and human resources of many of these acts. (Doc. 1 at PageID 3). Plaintiff also contacted her union steward on several occasions, submitting complaints and paperwork to aid an investigation. (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 176). Dissatisfied with their response, plaintiff met with another union representative in April 2004, "who strongly recommended that [she] take [her] issues to" defendant's "EEOC representative." (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 176). Following her April 27, 2004 complaint, plaintiff asserts that she did not experience any further discrimination while working in Studio 1. (Doc. 13-2 at PageID 60; Doc. 14 at PageID 381). Plaintiff moved from Studio 1 to Studio 7/8 in 2012. (Doc. 13-2 at PageID 130). Discrimination allegedly resumed at an unspecified point following this move. Plaintiff filed a complaint with defendant's Diversity Office on March 25, 2013, stating that throughout the past two years, she -3- had experienced several actions that she found "unprofessional, ignorant. . . and even racist." (Doc. 13-5 at PageID 219-21). These acts included unspecified comments from co-workers and "a monkey hanging from a cubical with Christmas lights wrapped around its neck." (Doc. 13-5 at PageID 220). Defendant responded by conducting a walk-through of Studio 7/8. (Doc. 13-6 at PageID 222). Kymberly Kinchen, Keith Worthy, and Lisa Hornung observed a monkey hanging from a cubicle by its arms with Christmas lights wrapped around its waist. (Id.). They noted a second monkey sitting on top of an overhead cabinet at the opposite end of the studio and concluded that "neither monkey[ ] appeared to be racially offensive in any way." (Id.). Following this inspection, on April 8, 2013, Kinchen and Worthy met with plaintiff to discuss her concerns. (Id.). Plaintiff emailed Kinchen that evening to report that both monkeys were still displayed in Studio 7/8 and that she took this "very seriously" given that "monkeys have" historically "been used to depict" African Americans "in derogatory terms." (Doc. 14-27 at PageID 952). Plaintiff asserts that her co-workers displayed eight to ten monkeys in Studio 7/8 between 2013 and January 2015. (Doc. 1 at PageID 3). The monkeys appeared in various forms including photographs within a calendar, stuffed and inflatable animals, a ceramic mold, and a Valentine's -4- Day card given to plaintiff that depicted a monkey. (Doc. 1 at PageID 4). Plaintiff also alleges that her co-workers taunted her by repeating Johnny Cochran's statement; "if it does not fit, you must acquit." (Id.). Plaintiff complained to management and/or human resources about the monkeys on or about March 25, 2013, February 10, 2014, and February 13, 2015. (Id.). She also "repeatedly" informed her co-workers that the monkeys offended her and were "racially insensitive." (Id.). Plaintiff filed a charge of discrimination with the EEOC on March 10, 2015. (Doc. 13-10 at PageID 276). She received notice of the EECO's decision to close its file on her charge as well as her suit rights on August 20, 2015. (Doc. 13-11 at PageID 277). Plaintiff filed this lawsuit on October 26, 2015. (Doc. 1 at PageID 7). B. Plaintiff's Bankruptcy Plaintiff filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition on April 30, 2008. (Doc. 13-12 at PageID 281-93). Her Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan was confirmed on October 3, 2008. (Doc. 13-14 at PageID 308-09). The plan was modified for the last time on July 25, 2013. (Doc. 13-15 at PageID 310-11). The Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan issued an order discharging plaintiff after the completion of her Chapter 13 plan on December 10, 2013. (Doc. 13-16 at PageID 312-13). -5- II. Legal Standard Rule 56(c) empowers a court to render summary judgment "if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." Williams v. Mehra, 186 F.3d 685, 689 (6th Cir. 1999) (en banc) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)). The standard for determining whether summary judgment is appropriate is "'whether the evidence presents a sufficient disagreement to require submission to a jury or whether it is so one-sided that one party must prevail as a matter of law.'" Amway Distrib. Benefits Ass'n v. Northfield Ins. Co., 323 F.3d 386, 390 (6th Cir. 2003) (quoting Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 251-52 (1986)). The evidence and all reasonable inferences must be construed in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., Ltd. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986); Redding v. St. Eward, 241 F.3d 530, 532 (6th Cir. 2001). "[T]he mere existence of some alleged factual dispute between the parties will not defeat an otherwise properly supported motion for summary judgment; the requirement is that there be no genuine issue of material fact." Anderson, 477 U.S. at 247-48 (emphasis in original); see -6- also Nat'l Satellite Sports, Inc. v. Eliadis, Inc., 253 F.3d 900, 907 (6th Cir. 2001). If the movant establishes by use of the material specified in Rule 56(c) that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, the opposing party must come forward with "specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial." First Nat'l Bank v. Cities Serv. Co., 391 U.S. 253, 270 (1968); see also McLean v. 988011 Ontario, Ltd., 224 F.3d 797, 800 (6th Cir. 2000). Mere allegations or denials in the non-movant's pleadings will not meet this burden, nor will a mere scintilla of evidence supporting the non-moving party. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248, 252. There must instead be evidence from which a jury could reasonably find for the non-movant. McLean, 224 F.3d at 800 (citing Anderson, 477 U.S. at 252). III. Analysis A. Estoppel Defendant argues that judicial estoppel precludes plaintiff from bringing her hostile work environment claims. Plaintiff responds that judicial estoppel does not apply because she obtained this cause of action more than seven years after she filed for bankruptcy. -7- "Th[e] doctrine [of judicial estoppel] is utilized in order to preserve the integrity of the courts by preventing a party from abusing the judicial process through cynical gamesmanship." White v. Wyndham Vacation Ownership, Inc., 617 F.3d 472, 476 (6th Cir.2010) (internal citations omitted). "Judicial estoppel, however, should be applied with caution to avoid impinging on the truth-seeking function of the court, because the doctrine precludes a contradictory position without examining the truth of either statement." Eubanks v. CBSK Fin. Grp., Inc., 385 F.3d 894, 897 (6th Cir.2004) (internal citations omitted). [T]o support a finding of judicial estoppel, [the Court] must find that: (1) [plaintiff] assumed a position that was contrary to the one that she asserted under oath in the bankruptcy proceedings; (2) the bankruptcy court adopted the contrary position either as a preliminary matter or as part of a final disposition; and (3) [plaintiff's] omission did not result from mistake or inadvertence. In determining whether [plaintiff's] conduct resulted from mistake or inadvertence, this court considers whether: (1) she lacked knowledge of the factual basis of the undisclosed claims; (2) she had a motive for concealment; and (3) the evidence indicates an absence of bad faith. In determining whether there was an absence of bad faith, we will look, in particular, at [plaintiff's] "attempts" to advise the bankruptcy court of her omitted claim. White, 617 F.3d at 478. -8- 1. Plaintiff Assumed a Position that Was Contrary to the One She Asserted Under Oath in the Bankruptcy Proceedings. "[T]o support a finding of judicial estoppel, [the Court] must find that: (1) [plaintiff] assumed a position that was contrary to the one that she asserted under oath in the bankruptcy proceedings." White, 617 F.3d at 478. "[I]t is well-established that at a minimum, 'a party's later position must be "clearly inconsistent" with its earlier position[ ]' for judicial estoppel to apply." Lorillard Tobacco Co v. Chester, Willcox & Saxbe, LLP, 546 F.3d 752, 757 (6th Cir. 2008) (quoting New Hampshire v. Maine, 532 U.S. 742, 750 (2001)). Plaintiff's position in this case is clearly inconsistent with the position that she asserted under oath in the bankruptcy proceedings. In her complaint, plaintiff asserts claims under Title VII and the ELCRA, and asks the Court to "award judgment against defendant" for the "economic and non-economic damages" she sustained. (Doc. 1 at PageID 7). It is undisputed that plaintiff did not list this cause of action when she filed for bankruptcy on April 30, 2008, and did not amend this position while the bankruptcy was pending. (Doc. 13-12 at PageID 292). Plaintiff's failure to disclose her claims was contrary to the bankruptcy code. A debtor filing under Chapter 13 must file "a schedule of assets and liabilities." 11 U.S.C. § 521(1). A cause of action is an asset that must be -9- scheduled under § 521(1). Eubanks, 385 F.3d at 897. Debtors are also "required to disclose all potential causes of action." Lewis v. Weyerhaeuser, 141 F. App'x 420, 424 (6th Cir. 2005) (quoting In re Coastal Plains, Inc., 179 F.3d 197, 208 (5th Cir. 1999)). "The debtor need not know all the facts or even the legal basis for the cause of action; rather, if the debtor has enough information. . . prior to confirmation to suggest that it may have a possible cause of action, then that it is a 'known' cause of action such that it must be disclosed." In re Coastal Plains, Inc., 179 F.3d at 208 (quoting Youngblood Grp. v. Lufkin Federal Savings and Loan Ass'n, 932 F. Supp. 859, 867 (E.D. Tex. 1996)). "Any claim with potential must be disclosed, even if it is 'contingent, dependent, or conditional.'" Id. This "duty of disclosure is a continuing one." Lewis, 141 F. App'x at 424 (internal quotations and citations omitted). Despite her duty to disclose, plaintiff never listed this cause of action. As such, plaintiff now assumes a position contrary to the one she asserted under oath in her bankruptcy proceeding. 2. The Bankruptcy Court Adopted the Contrary Position. "[T]o support a finding of judicial estoppel, [the Court] must find that: . . . (2) the bankruptcy court adopted the contrary position either as a preliminary matter or as part of a final disposition." White, 617 F.3d at 478. - 10 - It is undisputed that plaintiff did not list these claims in her schedule of assets and liabilities, and that plaintiff never amended this position while her bankruptcy was pending. It is also undisputed that the bankruptcy court issued plaintiff's discharge order on December 10, 2013. (Doc. 13-16 at PageID 312-13). The undisputed facts, therefore, indicate that the bankruptcy court adopted plaintiff's contrary position. 3. Plaintiff's Omission Did Not Result from Mistake or Inadvertence. "[T]o support a finding of judicial estoppel, [the Court] must find that: . . . (3) [plaintiff's] omission did not result from mistake or inadvertence." White, 617 F.3d at 478. "In determining whether [plaintiff's] conduct resulted from mistake or inadvertence, this court considers whether: (1) she lacked knowledge of the factual basis of the undisclosed claims; (2) she had a motive for concealment; and (3) the evidence indicates an absence of bad faith." Id. a. Plaintiff Did Not Lack Knowledge of the Factual Basis of the Undisclosed Claims. Plaintiff alleges a hostile work environment based on discrimination that allegedly occurred between 2001 and 2015. Most of the allegations in her complaint, (Doc. 1 at PageID 2-4), are reflected in two pieces of evidence; plaintiff's April 27, 2004 letter to her EEOC representative, (Doc. - 11 - 13-3 at PageID 174-78), and her March 25, 2013 letter to defendant's diversity office, (Doc. 13-5 at 219-21). If a single act contributing to a Title VII hostile environment claim occurs within the filing period outlined by 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5, then "the entire time period of the hostile environment claim may be considered by a court for the purposes of determining liability." Nat'l R.R. Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101, 117 (2002). "It does not matter that some of the component acts fall outside the statutory time period." Id. Count I, therefore, encompasses all of these allegations. But, due to the ELCRA's three year period of limitations, Count II is based solely on acts occurring between 2012 and 2015. Acts committed prior to 2012, including all of the allegations included in plaintiff's April 27, 2004 complaint, may serve as background evidence to contextualize the ELCRA claim. When plaintiff filed for bankruptcy on April 30, 2008, she had knowledge of all of the discrimination that she experienced and directly observed between 2001 and 2004. These acts include various comments from co-workers and managers regarding a monkey, brown skin, kinky hair, and ghettos, as well as the use of a "monkey calling device." (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 174-78). In addition to her knowledge of these facts, plaintiff knew that the acts offended her. She described them as "blatant racial - 12 - discrimination" that may be "violations" of "federal law[s]" and her "civil rights." (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 175). Plaintiff also knew that she had complained about these acts. She reported them to management and human resources. (Doc. 1 at PageID 3). She contacted her union steward to submit multiple complaints and paperwork to aid their investigation. (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 176). She also met with an additional union representative "who strongly recommended that [she] take [her] issues to" defendant's "EEOC representative." (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 176). Plaintiff asserts that she did not have a potential Title VII or ELCRA claim against defendant on April 30, 2008 because she had never filed an EEOC charge regarding the discrimination alleged in her April 27, 2004 complaint and, in 2008, was time barred from doing so. (Doc. 13-3 at PageID 174-78). But plaintiff's circumstances changed. She asserts that racial discrimination resumed around 2012. (Doc. 13-5 at PageID 220) (alleging discrimination "during the last 2 years and even now [March 25, 2013].") During this time, while her bankruptcy was still pending, plaintiff gained more knowledge of the factual basis of Counts I and II. On March 25, 2013, plaintiff complained about a monkey wrapped in Christmas lights in Studio 7/8. (Doc. 13-5 at PageID 220). She complained about this and a second monkey on April 8, 2013. (Doc. 14-26 at PageID 950). Plaintiff - 13 - also knew that these acts offended her and that she had complained about them. In April 2013, she met with defendant's diversity representatives and stated that she took these acts "very seriously" given that "monkeys have" historically "been used to depict" African Americans "in derogatory terms." (Doc. 14-27 at PageID 952). The Court, therefore, finds that plaintiff had knowledge of the factual basis of the undisclosed claims by April 2013 such that the omission of these claims did not result from mistake or inadvertence. b. Plaintiff Had a Motive to Conceal her Claims. Debtors petitioning for bankruptcy protection always have a motive to conceal undisclosed claims; "wanting to keep any settlement or judgment to himself." Stephenson v. Malloy, 700 F.3d 265, 274 (6th Cir. 2012). See also Lewis, 141 F. App'x at 426 ("It is always in a Chapter 13 petitioner's interest to minimize income and assets."). If a claim is disclosed, it will "[become] a part of the bankruptcy estate, then the proceeds from it could go towards paying [the debtor's] creditors, rather than simply to paying [the debtor]." White, at 479. Plaintiff concealed the existence of her claims. It is undisputed that she did not list this cause of action when filing for bankruptcy on April 30, 2008, and did not amend this position while the bankruptcy was pending. - 14 - (Doc. 13-12 at PageID 292). Concealing the claims allowed them to be exempted from plaintiff's bankruptcy estate. If exempted, plaintiff would be likely to "keep any settlement or judgment to [herself]." Stephenson, 700 F.3d at 274. The Court, therefore, finds that plaintiff had a motive to conceal her claims. c. The Evidence Does Not Indicate an Absence of Bad Faith. The "absence of bad faith inquiry focuses on affirmative actions taken by the debtor to notify the trustee or bankruptcy court of an omitted claim." Kimberlin v. Dollar Gen. Corp., 520 F. App'x 312, 315 (6th Cir. 2013). It is undisputed that plaintiff did not list these claims in her original schedule of assets. (Doc. 13-12 at PageID 292). Further, despite her continuing duty to disclose assets including a potential cause of action, plaintiff never amended the schedule to list the claims while her bankruptcy was pending. The evidence before the Court, therefore, does not indicate an absence of bad faith. 4. Plaintiff's Arguments Are Not Dispositive. Plaintiff argues that she did not fail to disclose a pre-petition claim because, due to her failure to file an EEOC charge around 2004 and the ELCRA's limitation period, she did not have a cause of action on April 20, 2008. Plaintiff instead asserts that her claims arose post-petition. But - 15 - Chapter 13 debtors have a continuing obligation to disclose all potential claims, Lewis, 141 F. App'x at 424, including potential claims that arise post-petition while the bankruptcy is pending. See Kimberlin, 520 F. App'x at 315 (finding that plaintiff should have notified the court of her potential post-petition claim that arose only 41 days before her final bankruptcy payment was scheduled so that the Court could have "modified her Chapter 13 plan to grant creditors some percentage of any future recovery."); Scisney v. Gen. Elec. Co., No. 4:14-cv-00008, 2015 WL 7758542, at *5 (W.D. Ky. Dec. 1, 2015) (applying judicial estoppel where the plaintiff, a Chapter 13 debtor, experienced discrimination both prepetition and post-petition, "knew of the factual basis for potential claims post-petition but pre-discharge," and "failed to disclose any of them at any time." See also In re Flugence, 738 F.3d 126, 129 (5th Cir. 2013) ("Chapter 13 debtors have a continuing obligation to disclose post-petition causes of action."). Thus, even if plaintiff's claims are viewed as postpetition, the allegations occurring between 2012 and April 2013 triggered her duty to disclose. These allegations constitute a potential claim because, even if plaintiff did "not know all the facts or even the legal basis for the cause of action" by April 2013, these acts provided "enough information. . . prior to confirmation to suggest that [plaintiff] may have a - 16 - possible cause of action" which is considered "a 'known' cause of action such that is must be disclosed." In re Coastal Plains, Inc., 179 F.3d at 208 (quoting Youngblood Grp. 932 F. Supp. at 867). Further, plaintiff's bankruptcy was still pending in April 2013 when this potential claim arose. See (Doc. 13-16 at PageID 312-13). Therefore, even if this cause of action arose post-petition, plaintiff was required to disclose these claims. B. Hostile Work Environment Hostile work environment claims involve repeated conduct. Morgan, 536 U.S. at 115. These claims "offer[ ] employees protection from a 'workplace[ ] permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim's employment and create an abusive working environment. . . .'" Barrett v. Whirlpool Corp., 556 F.3d 502, 514 (6th Cir.2009) (quoting Harris v. Forklift Sys., Inc., 510 U.S. 17, 21 (1993)) (alteration in original). "To prove that [s]he was subject to a hostile work environment in violation of Title VII, plaintiff must prove: (1) [s]he belongs to a protected group; (2) [s]he was subject to unwelcome harassment; (3) the harassment was based on race; (4) the harassment affected a term, condition, or privilege of employment and (5) defendant knew or should have known about the harassment and failed to take action." Moore v. KUKA Welding Sys. & Robot Corp., 171 - 17 - F.3d 1073, 1078–79 (6th Cir.1999). The elements of a hostile work environment under the ELCRA "are substantially the same." Curry v. SBC Commc'ns, Inc., 669 F. Supp. 2d 805, 833 (E.D. Mich. 2009) (citing Quinto v. Cross & Peters Co., 451 Mich. 358, 368-69 (1996)). The Court finds that the first two elements are satisfied here, as plaintiff, an African American, repeatedly complained of the alleged discrimination. The comments allegedly made to plaintiff between 2001 and 2004 constitute harassment based on race. It is less clear whether the presence of numerous monkeys in Studio 7/8 also constitute harassment based on race. Defendant argues that a few monkeys were placed in Studio 7/8 prior to plaintiff joining that office. Moreover, they argue that all of the monkeys were "sentimental mementos," (Doc. 13 at PageID 105), as opposed to racial harassment. Plaintiff disagrees, asserting that monkeys have historically been used to depict African Americans in derogatory terms. The Court, however, finds that even if the monkeys constitute racial harassment, plaintiff's claim fails because the race-based harassment was not sufficiently severe or pervasive. The Court must "consider whether the totality of [the] race-based harassment was 'sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of [plaintiff's] employment and create an abusive working environment.'" - 18 - Williams v. CSX Transp. Co., 643 F.3d 502, 512 (6th Cir. 2011) (quoting Harris, 510 U.S. at 21). The harassment must be severe or pervasive in two aspects. Curry, 669 F. Supp. 2d at 833. "Both an objective and subjective test must be met; in other words, the conduct must be so severe or pervasive as to constitute a hostile or abusive working environment both to the reasonable person and the actual victim." Randolph v. Ohio Dep't of Youth Servs., 453 F.3d 724, 733 (6th Cir.2006). "Factors to consider include 'the frequency of the discriminatory conduct; its severity; whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or a mere offensive utterance; and whether it unreasonably interferes with an employee's work performance.'" Williams, 643 F.3d at 512 (citing Harris, 510 U.S. at 23). The alleged racist statements made between 2001 and 2004 "are certainly insensitive, ignorant, and bigoted." Id. at 513. The display of numerous stuffed monkeys is also insensitive. But, even when considered in their totality, this harassment is not sufficiently severe or pervasive. The Sixth Circuit "has established a relatively high bar for what amounts to actionable discriminatory conduct under a hostile work environment theory." Phillips v. UAW Int'l, 854 F.3d 323, 328 (6th Cir. 2017) (citing Williams, 643 F.3d at 506, 513 (finding no hostile work environment where defendant "call[ed] Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton 'monkeys' and [said] - 19 - that black people should 'go back to where [they] came from'" among other racist comments); Reed v. Procter & Gamble Mfg. Co., 556 Fed.Appx. 421, 432 (6th Cir. 2014) (no hostile work environment where plaintiff was subjected to race-based comments and his supervisor stood behind him and made a noose out of a telephone cord); Clay v. United Parcel Service, Inc., 501 F.3d 695, 707–08 (fifteen racially-motivated comments and instances of disparate treatment over a two-year period were isolated, not pervasive, and therefore not actionable under Title VII). "The misconduct alleged here . . . does not clear that bar." Phillips, 854 F.3d at 328. As in Williams, the alleged statements "more closely resemble 'a mere offensive utterance' than conduct that is 'physically threatening or humiliating.'" Williams, 643 F.3d at 513. Further, the statements are isolated from the monkey displays by both time and space. The former occurred in Studio 1 between 2001 and 2004. The latter occurred in Studio 7/8, a different office, between 2013 and 2015. Finally, there is no evidence that the harassment unreasonably interfered with plaintiff's work performance. She has worked for defendant since 2000 without any leaves, absences, or unsuccessful performance that she attributes to the alleged harassment. As such, defendant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. - 20 - IV. Conclusion Plaintiff does not cite to evidence that creates a genuine issue of material fact as to whether she assumed a position contrary to the one she asserted in her bankruptcy proceeding, whether the bankruptcy court adopted the contrary position as part of a final deposition, or whether her omission resulted from mistake or inadvertence. Moreover, plaintiff has not provided a genuine issue of material fact regarding the severity and pervasiveness of her hostile work environment claims. Therefore, for the reasons stated above, the Court finds that defendant is entitled to summary judgement on the basis of judicial estoppel. IT IS SO ORDERED.

Obviously named for Central America's largest soccer stadium, Cuscatlan Comida Salvadorena is a no-frills hideaway that looks like it belongs in Big Bear (i.e. it's old), but is really on Escondido's main drag, where the former pizza-slinging owner realized his long-held dream of getting rid of the pizza joint so he could open a place that serves the traditional food of his homeland... and pizza. El Salvador's version of a French Dip, the Pan Relleno (pictured up top) is a hollowed-out, house-baked French roll loaded with shredded chicken/veggies, and served with a dip (which they also recommend pouring over the whole shebang) of peanuts, sesame seeds, bell pepper, tomato onion, and achiote. Those wearing elastic-waisted Bugle Boys will want to smash on the Cuscatlan Sampler with chicharrones, fried yuca, sweet corn tamales, banana leaf-wrapped chicken or pork tamales, and two of the stuffed pupusas with chicharron, beans & cheese. Or order those separately and they'll serve it with a housemade coleslaw and douse it in a traditionally mild salsa they can spice up with hot sauce, if you're culturally insensitive enough to ask for it. Given his old pizza joint was the super-humble World's Best Pizza, he's obviously continuing to bake up their signature square deep-dish pies like the Mikey's "OG" with white mushroom garlic sauce, chicken, broccoli, pineapple, and smoked bacon. Going native with the drinks, the menu's stocked with traditionals like the drinkable fruit-salad-in-a-cup Ensalada: pineapple juice with chunks of mango, pineapple, apple, and Marañón, also known as the "cashew apple", meaning it's really nut fruit... AmIright?!? No? Sigh.

Zack on Lovecraft
Wednesday, Oct 31, 2001 by Zack "Geist Editor" Parsons (@sexyfacts4u)
Happy Halloween Shitheads!
If Lovecraft could have gotten away with schoolgirl tentacle rapes I'm fairly certain this would have been a major theme in his work.Rich notified me last weekend that this was to be "Haunted Horror Week", or "Shocktacular Spook Fest", or something equally retarded here at Something Awful. I scrapped my carefully prepared plans to write an update about German Tanks of the Second World War and why I masturbate to them, and put together an ultra creepy article about sea monsters. I'm sure R-Lo would have covered the sea monsters but that guy wet his pants when he saw "Jaws" and even the foam monster in cinema masterpiece "Deep Star Six" scared the shit out of him. Bitch as I may about being a coward, I am made of much sterner stuff.
That's why I am going to forge ahead with Lowtax's recently abandoned theme week here at SA and talk to you about the work of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. I've made fun of good old Lovecraft in the past, but I kid because I love. He may be overly dramatic, cryptic, and a god awful poet, but his works of cosmic horror have helped shape the work of horror writers as diverse as Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Judy Blume.
Lovecraft's greatest creation was what became later known as "the Cthulhu mythos". While smoking opium or myrrh, or whatever the hell people got wasted on in the 1920s and 1930s, Lovecraft cooked up this pantheon of supernatural monstrosities. They filled the roles of the gods of most polytheistic mythologies; the only difference was that they went from being "mean and playful" to "horribly evil, insane, and bent on destroying reality". Chief among these gods were such charmers as Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Azathoth, and Dagon. There were also a bunch of lesser beasts, some of whom served these dark gods, others who battled against them while simultaneously fucking humanity over just as bad as the gods themselves.
Still don't believe me about that tentacle rape stuff? This was one of the magazines Lovecraft wrote for in his day. Logic your way out of that one shithead.Much like King, Lovecraft's panties were wet for the decaying culture of New England, particularly Rhode Island. Lovecraft created several fictional locations, but my favorite has always been Innsmouth, Massachusetts. Innsmouth was literally a breeding ground for these ocean-going bipedal monsters called the "deep ones". Somewhere in the distant past the people of the small coastal town took it upon themselves to hook up with some of the more attractive deep ones, probably at an especially debauched VFW mixer. A few bottles of champagne, a sass foxtrot, and a night of passion with something that you would try to scrape off the bottom of your shoe, and the gene pool there became polluted with the slimy abyssal DNA of the deep ones. Thereafter when members of certain families within the town reached a certain age they would fall ill, only to begin to grow gills and eventually leave the city life behind to frolic with their ancestors in the aquatic grottos of Innsmouth bay.
Most of this was covered in the short story "The Shadow over Innsmouth", which was a beautiful romantic masterpiece.
Like some sort of hackneyed literary werewolf caught in the metamorphosis of the full moon, Halloween tends to bring out the darker side of my writing. This, coupled with my enjoyment of Lovecraft, has led me to create a short piece of fiction based on the works of this master. Mix in a little bit of the "paranormal hysteria" I've been exposed to while researching Awful Links of the Day, and you've got a really bad piece of parody that makes me ashamed I wrote it. Nevertheless, it's too late to turn back and work on that article about jerking off to German tanks, so I present to you:
The Insanity of Shadow Bay
What became of Carter I may never know, for other than two steamer trunks full of pornographic daguerreotypes and a carry sack full of his foulest humors, nothing remains of the man. I had met him in my carefree youth. We were both freshman students attending the Miskatonic University in Essex County, when we bonded quickly over our fascination with the antiquarian. The finest town for people inclined such as we is most definitely Providence, and it was there that we spent many a weekend furlough, strolling the crumbling tenements of times forgotten. It was there that I believe he began his descent into madness, and it was there that a quaint and slightly offensive encounter occurred that speaks of my anachronistic racial stereotypes.
Carter and I were in Providence for the spring break and we were, as usual, wandering about the slums of a city avoided by most of our well-mannered contemporaries. In the negro district we happened upon a strange shop, where a dark-skinned man with odd eyes was selling curios and trinkets gathered from across the globe. I was fascinated by the voodoo dolls of Haiti, but Carter took an interest in an odd stone that the shopkeeper claimed had been recovered from a shipwrecked rum smuggler. It was oddly angled and red-veined, difficult to look upon so strange was its geometry.
The stone gave me quite the headache and while Carter was negotiating with the negro I became enraptured by several pieces of statuary from the South Seas. They were very detailed, featuring phalluses that stretched from groin to eyebrow, and I considered purchasing one to place atop my mantle back at the University. Carter purchased his stone and when he found me inspecting such idols he made a most rude comment that nearly forced me into fisticuffs with him.
When we returned to the dormitories Carter was quite fond of his strange rock. As the days turned into weeks I began to worry about him, as he was always mumbling under his breath and spending goodly portions of the day and night locked within his bedchamber perusing rare texts. What these manuscripts contained I cannot be sure, but whatever it was it compelled him to take another trip at the end of semester. On this occasion it was to the small rural community of Shadow Bay along the Rhode Island coastline.
Despite his reluctance and further comments that made reference to the statues I had been looking upon so fondly, he allowed me to join him. He insisted we sleep in separate rooms and told me he would bed upon his back most certainly. Both of these comments led me to infer that he was beginning to keep things from me, that perhaps he had some occult agenda of which I could only suspect.
The very next day I burst into his room at dawn to find him sopping wet, as though he had been cavorting in a tributary of Shadow Bay. He smelled quite nicely if I recall, of strange incense and oils from the forbidden East. Carter seemed very distraught that I had interrupted his unusual activities and began spluttering and demanding an explanation. I demanded the same and he called me a scoundrel in a manner that suggested he was hiding something.
The journey to Shadow Bay was made in almost complete silence. Carter motored us in his father's automobile, brooding about the odd discovery I had made about his behavior. He inspected the coastline for hours, saying very little to me during this time, while I took out my pocket knife and began to carve crude effigies of myself and Carter into a piece of driftwood. I believe it was an eldritch vapor, given off by Shadow Bay itself, which compelled me to do this. When I was completed I was horrified to discover the graphic and blasphemous nature of the images I had cut into the wood. I tossed it into the bay before Carter could see it.
We returned to the University where Carter's mental health rapidly declined over the summer break. He frequently told me to stop coming to his room and to stop peering into his window and groaning at night. So bottomless was his madness that he even threatened to notify the local constabulary about my activities, not realizing that all of my actions were undertaken in his best interests.
At last there was a complete breakdown. Fearing the worst I crept into his bedchamber one night and discovered the journal he was keeping. Feeling some guilt I paged through it beneath the shuddering gaslight and to my horror found my own name written in Carter's workman scrawl.
"I fear that Jameson fancies me in an unnatural way."
My suspicions confirmed, I resolved to take action immediately. I returned the journal to its place and moved silently back into his bedchamber. There I threw back the cover and leapt atop him, stifling him with my hand before he could cry out. I warned him not to act upon his bizarre schemes and then I fear the vapors of Shadow Bay, somehow clinging to that blasted stone, overwhelmed me. I do not remember what transpired.
The next morn I awoke to find my body battered with bruises and my clothing disheveled in an unseemly way. Carter was gone, but I discovered he had made good on his promise to contact the constabulary. They arrested me within the fortnight, expelling me from the college and leaving me only with the trunks full of photos I had taken through Carter's window and the fluid specimens I had collected on my few daring raids into his sleeping jacket.
There are some places, some secrets, that man was never intended to explore. I believe that Carter had attempted to defy the powers beyond comprehension and unlock the secrets of the Great Old Ones. Instead of knowledge or power, he found only madness, and I have lost a true friend.
Man, I regret writing that a lot. In any event, if you are somehow still interested in the work I so poorly satirized, you can check out HP Lovecraft at pretty much any book store. I heartily recommend his novella "At the Mountains of Madness", upon which the movie "The Thing" (particularly John Carpenter's version) was loosely based. If you did like my story for some horrifying reason, then I suggest you look into the band "The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets". They are heavy into HP Lovecraft and their upbeat yet twisted surf punk work features such tongue-in-cheek Lovecraft tributes as "Shoggoths Away", "The Innsmouth Look", and "Yig Snake Daddy."

Home » Lighting » Lamp Types » Fluorescent Lamps
The fluorescent lamp was another invention that Thomas Edison provided the world in 1896. Today, the fluorescent lamp comes is many sizes and styles, from compact fluorescent lamps to linear fluorescent lamps. Some of the newer technologies such as T-5 and T-8 fluorescent lamps are the most energy-efficient lamps available today and have overcome many of the issues related to cold weather operation. Some models available today are dimmable with the use of special ballasts. Fluorescent lamps are named by the bulb size in eighths of inches. For example, the most common fluorescent lamp size is a T-12 which is 12 eighths of an inch or 1-1/2″ in diameter. The discussion will be limited to fluorescent lamps most useful to agriculture: compact fluorescent lamps, T-12 and T-8. T-5 lamps are suitable for office space but give off too much heat to be used in sealed fixtures so they will not be discussed.
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL)
CFLs are one of the most significant developments in lighting in recent history, combining the efficiency of a fluorescent lamp and the convenience of an incandescent bulb. When introduced in the mid-1980s, the ballasts were large and wouldn't fit many fixtures designed for incandescent bulbs. In the last few years, the ballasts have been reduced in size so they are only slightly larger than an incandescent bulb and new types have been introduced that have more compact fluorescent tubes and diffusing covers to hide the fluorescent bulb so esthetically they can be used in more places. CFLs use 75% less electricity than an incandescent bulb with the same light output. The most recent models introduced have minimum starting temperature as low as -20°F which makes them useable for many outdoor applications provided they are protected from moisture. These lamps do provide light output instantly but require a few minutes to get to full output. Warm up time will vary with the ambient temperature; colder temperatures require a longer warm up period. The standard CFL should not be used in livestock housing unless it is installed in a sealed fixture such as a jelly jar (see photo at right). There are some manufacturers that have developed water resistant CFL fixtures for use specifically in livestock housing. Compact fluorescent lamps have a lamp life of 6000 to 10,000 hours, 6 to 13 times longer than an incandescent bulb and are available in incandescent equivalent sizes from 15 to 200 watts and higher.
T-12 Fluorescent Lamps
This is the old standby that has been used for many years. They are very efficient lamps compared to incandescent lamps but have a disadvantage for farm use because they have decreased light output and flicker below 50°F unless one uses the less energy-efficient high-output version which will work to -20°F. T-8 fluorescent lamps should be used for new installations. If the proper fixture has been used (water-proof for animal housing or wet locations like a milk house) it can be converted to T-8 lamps by replacing the lamps and ballast. The lamp sockets are the same for T-12 and T-8 lamps. If T-12HO (high output) lamps are being used in an indoor application which will likely not get below 0°F, then the lamp could be converted to a standard T-8 lamp by replacing the lamp sockets along with the lamps and ballasts. This will save more than 50% in lighting operational costs.
T-8 Fluorescent Lamps
T-8 lamps where introduced in the 1980's and have the high energy efficiency and longer lamp life than T-12 laps. The fixtures for T-8 lamps look similar to the commonly used T-12 lamps except the bulbs are 1″ in diameter instead of 1-1/2″. A T-8 lamp provides about 15% more lumens per watt and the electronic ballasts are 40% more efficient than electro-magnetic ballasts of T-12 lamps. Some standard T-8 ballasts can start in temperatures as cold as 0ºF compared to 50ºF, allowing T-8 lamps to be used in cold applications. The T-8 lamp uses an electronic ballast which operates at high frequency, thus eliminating the annoying flicker associated with T-12 electro-magnetic ballast when ambient air temperatures are cooler than 50°F. If the correct fixtures are being used (water-proof for animal housing or wet locations like a milk house, see photo at right), a T-12 fixture can be converted to use T-8 lamps by replacing the lamps and ballast. The same lamp sockets are used for both T-8 and T-12 lamps. If T-12HO (high output) lamps are being used in an indoor application which will likely not get below 0°F, then the fixture could be converted to a standard T-8 lamp by replacing the lamp sockets along with the lamps and ballasts. If the same lighting level as T-12HO lamps is desired, then high-output T-8 ballast and lamps with recessed double contacts (F17d type ends) would need to be used or additional fixtures added. The average life of a T-8 lamp is 20,000 hours, 65% longer than T-12 lamps, which reduces maintenance costs.
T-5 lamps are the newest Fluorescent lamp and were design for office building primarily. They come in a standard version which is rated to 0°F and a high output version which is rated to -20°F. The standard version of a T5, T8 or T12 all emit about the same amount of light. Lamp life is 20,000 to 30,000 hours so lower maintenance than a T-12. They are different lengths that a T8 or T12 lamp so require the proper fixture. They use bi-pin ends and are 5/8″ in diameter.


Is the expensive brand really better?
What's better, bottled water or tap? Does it matter? Could you even really taste the difference? This video, courtesy of BuzzFeed, tries a bit of an experiment to get some answers.
It should be noted that LA tap water, rather than NYC's famed brand, was chosen for the test. Despite this injustice, it's worth a look.


Thanks, Fausto! Loved you on the latest episode of Camp Wanakiki. How long does it take to get that glitter out of your beard? I hope on the next season you and Marc become camp employees or maybe the mascot!
Sorry to hear about your car. I've chipped in some munty towards a replacement.
It takes 20 minutes in the shower! All my makeup is really easy to remove, so just like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz, if I get hit with even a splash of water, I'M MELTING!
Hey Marc and Fausto. Sorry to hear that the car died, and in of all places, Brantford. The town is kind of famous for all kinds of things (apart from being the last resting place of your Cinderella coach. Many famous people are from that town, including Wayne Gretzky (hockey player) and Phil Hartman (Simpsons). The actor who played Tonto is from there too. Plus Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone while living there in his father's manor house (which is not mentioned in the American history books). The electron microscope was invented there also. Brantford is an odd little town in strange location, but it does have a lot to boast about.
I just got sucked into an episode of Camp Wannakiki. I knew it would be good, but I didn't expect it to be so engrossing! I'm off to bed a little later than planned. And yes Fausto, you make a very cute bear.
