A Tooth-Conscious Halloween Event is on the way! Before we write another sentence, let's invite you officially to: the Dentistry for Children Halloween Candy Buy-Back Party! Mark your calendars now, if you haven't already!
Tooth-Conscious Parents and Kids Help Troops, Nov. 9, 2018
1. Who? Dr. Troy King will "buy back" some of your child's candy stash at the dentist's office.
2. What? With the candy you bring into the office, we will send our troops a taste of home and a show of support. Tooth-Conscious or Troop-Conscious, this idea is a winner! There will be Food, Fun, Games, Prizes, and Surprizes
3. When? The Big Buy Back Date: This year, Nov. 9th is the day of Halloween Candy Buy-Back Fun! And the hours are 4:00-8:00 p.m.
4. Where? It all happens at Dr. King's Office, Dentistry for Children, 1390 City View Center, Oviedo. And you do not have to be a patient to join into this festive Buy-Back event and be a part of this worthy cause.
Halloween Is a Scary Time for Tooth-Conscious Parents
In previous blogs, we have categorized some of the worst dental offenders of the candy world.
By the way, do you know that, according to the ADA, the most tooth-heathy sweets at Halloween or any time of the year include chocolate with no filling? Likewise, are you aware that sugarless gum with the ADA approved label is a great treat for teeth? The gum helps to activate saliva and dissolve sugars that might lead to decay.
Let's look at a brief summary. Tooth-conscious parents and kids, please beware of :
1. The Sticky Sugar Bugs: Sticky candies like caramel, jellied gummy-candies.
2. The Hard-Shell Tooth-Killers: like jaw-breakers and lollypops, which cause cracks, breaks, and dislodged crowns.
3. The Slithery Sour Enamel-Eaters: These candies provoke a "sour" taste. The Sour Candies. Acid does this. Acid is the ingredient in candies that provide a "sour" taste. Sour candies can even change the pH of your mouth.
Now, we know that acidity weakens the enamel of teeth. And when that happens, the outer shells of teeth are more vulnerable to bacteria. Then comes the pain of cavities.
A Grand Return to Our Special Halloween Dental-Conscious Halloween Night Game
It's time again to institute a special plan to minimize the dental dangers posed by the "Sugar Bugs" of traditional Halloween loot. Dentistry for Children presents a Game-plan for your Halloween Night. It's a fun candy-check-in game for parents and kids.
We have suggested this Game previously and many families have thanked us. Therefore, let us show you how to make tooth-conscious kids out of your sugar-gobbling goblins—and have some family fun.
Usually, in blogs like this, rules for the night only begin when the Trick-or-Treating is done. Some of the set-ups begin much earlier. Actually, you can begin as soon as you read this article.
1. A Tooth-Conscious but Delicious Halloween dinner.
Children choose a healthy supper in advance. They might be excited and costumes can be distracting.
So, if they choose a protein-heavy appetizer, that selection is also fine. The only requirement is that the meal is a special favorite. We suggest you serve it before they depart to a Halloween party or Trick-or-Treat time.
During the dinner, reinforce the idea of the candy check-in game. In fact, we hope you have talked about this fun, special game for several days previous to Halloween.
Then, the fun begins immediately after the treat collecting. More than just "giving up" their hard-earned treats, you will have already told the children about the fun of their candy Check-In Game.
Their check-in gets to be proactive. Thus, kids can take ownership of the candy. You will have already convinced them to do some special things with it, besides getting cavities. (Read on to learn how it works…)
2. Turn-in Time After Trick or Treat: Let the games really begin:
A. When all the Trick-or-Treaters turn in their candy, Parents dump it out on a table. Of course, we reinforce the idea of many articles that you should screen it. Check for open or damaged packages.
B. Then, pass out small, snack baggies to the kids. Help each child pick and choose a few small treats for each treat bag.
3. These little treat bags will be their Tooth-Conscious snack-packs.
Parents will keep them for children, in a safe, kid-proof place. Then, dole out on each carefully chosen bag on a pre-designated snack day. The reason for this part of the game is to teach children to discern the size and types of various treats that make a small snack pack.
Then comes the big vote: Make sure everyone agrees upon a specific time of day for the snacks, like 4:00 after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
4. Parents Play An Important Tooth-Conscious Role!
Parents, in event of disputes, you get to play the part of a referee or grand judge. For example: Does a mini-pack of M&M's count the same as a Mini-Hershey bar? Eww, that's a tough call!)
The Tooth-Conscious Parent's Secret
When you see them make their selections of 3-5 pieces, know that they are learning portioning. This skill is a very important lesson for dental health in the future. This is helping them form lifetime healthy eating patterns and a little bit of self-discipline.
Now, we know there will still be quite a bit of left-over candy.
Happy Halloween at the Dentist's Office
Then, after the snack-packs are created, pack up the remaining candy and save it until November 9, 2018. On that "Candy Buy Back Day" as described above, we invite you to bring it to Dr. Troy King's office at Dentistry for Children. See above, for all the fun details and please, don't miss it!
There, amidst games, food, fun, and prizes, we will buy up to 5 pounds worth of the Halloween Candy Plunder from you at the premium price of 1.00 per pound. That's right, remember, we'll give you cash for your Halloween Candy.
That's so much better than cavities and calories. To all our young patients and their families and friends: Have a Happy, Healthy, Safe and Tooth-Conscious Halloween.

The last time someone asked me about adoption might have been the straw that broke the camel's back. I was strolling along with my 2-year-old adopted daughter, and a clerk came up and asked, "When did you get her?" There's something about adoption that seems to make strangers think they can ask anything without so much as saying "hi" first. So rather than be mad about getting those kinds of questions, maybe it's more productive to think about what questions adoptive moms wish you would ask instead. Because spoiler alert: asking "where" we "got" our children isn't the way to go.
I know adoption is an interesting topic for a lot of people, and I am actually usually really impressed with the conversations that result from people so brazenly asking me about my children's adoptions and my family's experiences. But adoption does take a little extra sensitivity in the approach, so I hope these suggestions help you if you're interested in asking about adoption, but aren't sure how to ask the first question or broach the subject (with someone you know or a relative stranger).
The more conversations that happen about adoption, the more awareness there will be about the process and the less fear there will be about adoptive parents, children, or the entire situation. But keep in mind, sometimes I just want to go to Target without having to be the spokesperson for adoption, especially when I haven't even showered and my kid is having a total meltdown. Adoptive parents (or at least this one) are usually more than happy to educate the masses, but that is not our job. We don't owe anyone, especially strangers, explanations. So yes, feel free to ask the following questions, but know your audience, folks.
"What's The Best Thing About Adoption?"
I know that adoption is unusual and intriguing to many people, but if you want to talk about adoption, let's start with the positives. Ask me what I love about adoption and I will tell you that adoption gave me the two biggest gifts I've ever been given — gifts I will never, ever stop being grateful for. I'll tell you adoption opened my eyes to a process that is equal parts joy and heartbreak, too, and forces me to live on the line between those two emotions on a daily basis.
Anything About My Other Kids
I don't have kids who aren't adopted, but I know many families whose adopted child looks different from their biological kids or is obviously the "different" kid in the family. Ask those moms something about their other kids, rather than constantly singling out the one kid who looks different.
"What Is Your Kid's Ethnicity?"
There's something really grating about asking, "Where did you get her?" when you notice my daughter's skin color is different than my own. So, instead, ask me what her ethnicity is. Ask me about her heritage and what we're doing to celebrate that part of her.
"What Was It Like To Meet Your Baby?"
When someone asks me "When did you get him?" in reference to my adoptive son, it makes me think they want to know the details of an assumed train wreck, rather than the beauty in a very difficult thing.
I don't have biological children, but I think meeting my adopted children must be just like meeting your biological children for the first time (minus the childbirth pains). It was surreal and perfect and it is seared in my memory forever, and adoptive parents want to talk about that moment just as often as biological parents.
"Are Your Children Adopted?"
If you want to know, start there. Ask whether they are adopted before asking questions that assume you already know the answer. Technically, if you can't see my husband, you can't know for sure that my daughter isn't biologically related to me, so please check first before asking another more assumptive question.
"Do You Think It's Going To Rain?"
That sounds ridiculous, but sometimes I'd prefer to at least begin an interaction with a little small talk rather than diving straight into a deep conversation about adoption. This is especially true when I'm just out enjoying myself at Target or the popsicle store.
"Do You Know What The Birth Mom Was Like?"
Not, "Why did her birth mom give her up?" or, "What was wrong with that woman?" or any other shaming question that judges the mother. Ask me what the woman who gave birth to the most precious gift of my life was like. I may not know much and I may not be comfortable telling you anything, but that is a kinder question to start with.
"Can I Ask You About Your Adoption Agency?"
Please, only ask this if you have already ascertained that I'm an adoptive mom. But I love to talk about our experience with both our adoption agencies, and I think that is important information to share with other people because it's so rarely shared publicly.

High cholesterol is a risk factor for coronary heart disease which is why it's so important to know the difference between normal cholesterol levels, high cholesterol and bad cholesterol levels. And having your cholesterol tested – which is worthwhile as you may not notice if you have high cholesterol – is a simple blood test that can be carried out by your GP or practise nurse.
Before we start talking about cholesterol levels it's important to be aware of the difference between good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Your total cholesterol level contains HDL cholesterol, which is good cholesterol, and other forms such as LDL and IDL cholesterol which are collectively known as 'bad' cholesterol. Your risk of coronary heart disease is particularly high if you have a low level of HDL-cholesterol and a high level of non-HDL-cholesterol.
LDL is short for low density lipo-protein, while HDL is short for high density lipo-protein. Other forms of lipoprotein also exist, such as intermediate density lipoportein (IDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). These lipoproteins all bind to cholesterol to help transport it into the circulation.
HDL is a bit of a lifesaver when it comes to your cholesterol levels. It helps to remove excess cholesterol from the blood stream and transfer it down to the liver so it can be broken down.
All other forms of lipoprotein, including LDL, bind to cholesterol to transport it to the sittues and can stick to artery walls. Having too much non-HDL cholesterol increases the risk of a plaque build-up that can narrow your arteries and increase your chance of coronary heart disease or stroke.
Medical experts recommend that healthy adults should have a total cholesterol level below 5 mmol/L, and a non-HDL cholesterol level of less than 4 mmol/l.
The most important measure is your ratio of total cholesterol to HDL- cholesterol, as this takes your non-HDL cholesterol into account. Your ratio of total cholesterol divided by HDL-cholesterol should ideally be less than 6. A ratio above 6 is considered high risk, so the lower the ratio the better.
Unhealthy lifestyle choices often contribute to a higher cholesterol but fortunately, they're easy to predict as well as easy to change. When it comes to heart health a small change really can make a huge difference.
Eating too much saturated fat can increase your cholesterol levels, so it's important to make sure you're not eating more than a healthy amount of foods like butter, cheese, cream and lard. Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables will help to lower your cholesterol levels if they're too high and it's also worth considering a plant sterols supplement that will help to block the absorption of cholesterol.
Aside from being fantastic for all aspects of your health and wellbeing, regular doses of exercise can help to increase your levels of HDL – the good cholesterol that helps to prevent a build of too much cholesterol in the arteries.
Smoking is a risk factor in itself for coronary heart disease – the disease you're looking to avoid by lowering you cholesterol level and, while up to 14 units of alcohol per week are fine for both men and women, excessive alcohol intake will have a negative impact on your cholesterol.
Unfortunately, cholesterol levels do increase with age and it is possible to inherit high cholesterol levels. If you are concerned about your cholesterol level then it's important to seek advice from your local GP.
Nothing beats a healthy, balanced diet to provide all the nutrients we need. But when this isn't possible, supplements can help. This article isn't intended to replace medical advice. Please consult your healthcare professional before trying supplements or herbal medicines.

There are an estimated 140,000 miles of footpaths in England and Wales, public rights of way that cut across all manner of private land, and due to various quirks of history they have never been fully mapped.
It's been 19 years since an Act in Parliament set a deadline of Jan 1, 2026 to map every footpath, and after that, footpaths that are not mapped can be reabsorbed into the private lands they cross, ending ancient rights of way.
The Ramblers, a hiking society with radical roots that fomented the creation of the nation's national parks, are leading the charge to complete the maps, through the Don't Lose Your Way campaign.
While many of the footpaths they're struggling to save have simply been forgotten, others have been deliberately obscured, often by farmers who want to keep strangers from crossing their fields, and resort to trickery like misleading signs and barbed wire to obfuscate the footpaths.
I've spent many happy hours rambling, mostly in Norfolk, where all the paths we took were well-marked, well-loved and well-maintained. The footpaths are a visible remnant of the ancient compact between private landowners and the common people, embodied in such documents as the Charter of the Forest, a much more important and radical document than the Magna Carta.
Until last year, when Fraser applied for the path to be recorded, the owner of a nearby house had a gate across it, which was now gone. When you attempt to open an old path, you have to inform landowners who might be affected. "He said, 'You're just a troublemaker, you are,' " Fraser recalled. "And he stanked off." "Stank" is a Cornish word for walk. Britain's byways have their own language, too. One of the best sources for lost paths are old maps of the countryside made for tax purposes. Public rights of way show up between parcels of land called "hereditaments." A valid claim to reinstate a lost path is known as "a reasonable allegation." Campaigners refer to the 2026 deadline as the Extinguishment.

Re: Episode 423 - STALLION
Very sad when the stallion died. I love that Little Joe (are we still calling him Little Joe at this point? ) refused to forgive Brenner for what he'd done. More of that emotional honesty from ML that I admire. But Joe still showed Brenner mercy by not having Brenner jailed, and therefore not taking him away from his son who needed him.
btw, the BZ theme used for this last season is by far the worst of the bunch. I can't stand listening to it and FF through it. Awful, awful.

Re: Episode 423 - STALLION
I thought that too from the minute that scene began...David Rose certainly recycled his themes!snapdragon wrote:pretty much everything about this episode screams LHOTP to me: the camera angles and especially the music. In fact, the whole scene where Joe and the stallion are struggling up the ridge made me forget I was watching BZ and not LHOTP
ML did such a wonderful, wonderful job with this episode. His joy at getting the stallion was so contagious that I realized halfway through the episode I'd been sitting there watching it with a huge smile on my face. Then his grief at losing the stallion was heartbreaking. I liked how kind he was to the boy he met on the road, even when he was chasing the man who stole his horse.
On a side note, did anyone else notice the man on the train wearing a green jacket identical to Joe's (about 8 or 9 minutes into the episode, I believe)?

Early on in our homeschooling we had attempted to do a study on logic. It must have been their age, or maybe even that combined with the curriculum we were using, but it just didn't stick. Kyle had done a logic study in co-op this year so I thought it would be good to try again with the other kiddos! Memoria Press (a favorite of ours) had sent me the Traditional Logic 1 Complete Set to review so I was excited to get started!
This course teaches formal/traditional logic.. I hadn't asked Kyle which he studied in co-op this year, but there are different kinds. He did mention that this was way different than what they had done. I like that this course was made for homeschoolers. I mean, others can use it, but it makes me feel better knowing that I don't have to change anything before using it.
Generally this course is aged for high school but it does mention that they have used it with 7th and 8th graders as well as adults, so I like that it is flexible like that. Kyle is in 8th and Lauren is in 7th, so it works for us! It is supposed to be a one semester course but they mention that it is generally completed in less than a semester. If you are going to continue with book 2, they give a little schedule enhancement that will shorten the study in book 1 to allow for the more difficult studies of book 2. We just went at our own pace as we aren't in any hurry and our school year is so different from typical.
The thing I loved the most about this curriculum is that every day is written down for you. It tells you what to read and then it lists the questions right after.
So, looking at day one for example, it mentions to read the entire chapter of the introduction and then go back and read a couple sections a little more thoroughly. Then it lists the questions. The kids really have to be paying attention as some of these questions have things that were only mentioned once! But the little sections that they have you read again aren't very big, so it should work out ok. You can then go over the answers in the Teacher Key. I like how simple everything is written out, it appeals to my no-nonsense brain when it comes to school stuff…
The DVD set covers all the book chapters. The first disk is Introduction to Chapter 7 and disk two is chapter 8-13. I may have to change my player as I couldn't tell how long to prepare for each section when we watched it. I know certain players will break it down. Or maybe this was just made as one long disk, now that I think about it. Either way, there are noticeable breaking points when new chapters start, you just have to push stop. None of the sections are very long at all, and really do expand on the information in the book and explain some things in a different way that really helps you understand.
You can then use the Quizzes & Tests book at the end of each section, even the introduction. I love how the pages are perforated and you can just tear them out! None of the quizzes/tests are very long but in my opinion, they are quite thorough, so you want to make sure you understand it all before taking the quizzes!! 😉
We aren't on a five day a week schedule with most of our schooling, so we aren't done with this yet, but we are working our way through. I wasn't sure how Kyle would take to learning logic again, but I really think with the combination of increased ages as well as a better curriculum the kids are actually enjoying it!
If you want to check out what others thought of their Traditional Logic experience, feel free to click the box below! Some actually reviewed other offerings from Memoria Press, Astronomy and Greek Myths! I was fascinated by both of those topics, but chose to stick to what was best for our age group.. Check them out!! 😀

As Easter approaches the traditional scent of cinnamon comes to mind because of its link to hot cross buns.
For those of you who may not know, a hot cross bun is a spiced sweet bun made with raisins or currants, marked with a cross on the top, and traditionally eaten on Good Friday.
According to reports eating hot cross buns marks the end of Lent because they are made with dairy products which are forbidden during this period. Plain buns are traditionally eaten hot or toasted during Lent, beginning on Shrove Tuesday and through to Good Friday.
Different parts of the hot cross bun have a certain meaning. The cross represents the crucifixion of Jesus, and the spices inside signify the spices used to embalm him at his burial.

About David Snider
I was born in Boston Massachussetts and now I am living and working in Berlin, Germany. I am an Impressionist oil painter, and my subjects are landscape, seascape and abstract. I do not feel it necessary to impose what i feel and think about my work since by doing so it takes away whatever mystery the painting may have. These feelings and thoughts, i think, should be left to the viewer.

I'm excited to share with my fellow bloggers that BlogHer is now accepting applications to join their ad network. I just heard the good news from BlogCoach. I have been a member of the BlogHer ad network since last February, and I can honestly say it is the best decision I've made to monetize my blog. I've written more about my experience with BlogHer here. I need to emphasize that you should not assume your blog has too low of a readership to be considered, because there is no minimum traffic requirement. There is a list of requirements, and you need to make sure you meet them before applying. I have heard that they are being flexible about the requirement that your blog be at least 90 days old because of the length of time it takes to review the applications (you've got to be close though). Good luck!

Steph – Yes, the badges you show at the top for Technorati, RSS, and Sitemeter are just fine (they are not considered graphical advertisements). Also, you can have Google Ads at the top of your page, as long as they are the text version of the ads (not the graphical ads).
- September 29, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Thanks Heather. I moved my adsense to the bottom, I have a technorati, blogger, and sitemeter gadget at the top of my page. Are they ok there?
- September 29, 2008 at 2:05 pm
April – I've heard the wait can be up to 30 days. Be patient! And good luck!
- September 29, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I applied a couple weeks ago, and am really anxious to hear back from them. Does anyone know what the wait time is?
- September 29, 2008 at 7:20 am
Shopping Queen – I guess they are prepared for "future applicants"? Best of luck, I'm looking forward to seeing some new ads on the blogs of my frugal friends!
- September 29, 2008 at 7:12 am
Steph – Above the fold means the top 768 pixels of your blog. Generally speaking, it's the view you see on most computer screens without scrolling down. You might be able to Google a "pixel ruler" and be able to see exactly how far down it is until you reach the "fold" line. BlogHer wants their ads to be at the top of your blog and not be competing with any other graphical ads within that space. If you look at my blog you will see that I do have other ads, but they are placed below my BlogHer Ads. I am allowed to have other text ads at the top of my blog, just not graphical ads. I hope that explains it!
- September 29, 2008 at 6:19 am
Thanks so much for the heads up! I have a question on one requirement. Do you know what this means "blogs that don't belong to another ad network, requiring "above the fold" placement"? Thanks again.
- September 28, 2008 at 10:28 pm
Thanks for the update Heather. I just applied. I chuckled a bit at their birthdate question. It lets you choose 50 years in the future as well. I didn't want to mess up my chances of acceptance, but I was curious how it would take a 2050 birthdate.

Make your Dropbox account work for you, with the help of Community users like you. Join in or start a discussion of your own.
Gee, and I just got a new phone. If only I had gotten it last month.
Unfortunately it looks like I'll have to say goodbye to Dropbox if I can't use it on all my devices, as much as it pains me. I've been using Dropbox since 2013, prefering it over every other cloud storage service despite it offering the least free storage.
I use 5 devices, and with my new phone it would be 6. There's just no way for me to comfortably use this anymore I'm afraid. Once I migrate to my new phone I'll have to go with a different cloud storage provider, and that bums me out more than anything.
I really hope you have a change of heart and remove this device limit. There's no need to punish your free users even more than you currently are (starting out with 2 GB is paltry and unusable in 2019, and it requires a lot of work to gain additional free space; that's more than enough of a limit to impose on your free users) and the device limit is literally offering an ultimatum of either going pro, paying for space we don't need, or looking elsewhere.
Yep this has really scuppered me as well, my work pc crashed a few days ago and I reinstalled Dropbox only to find out it would not link to my account as I had 4 other devices linked, so to get my work pc going with Dropbox I've had to delete my laptop and ipad Dropbox links in order to add the work pc back on. What a pain it is now, I still have all the old files on my laptop and ipad but obvs they wont sync anymore. My only option is to upgrade to 1Tb plus account, I dont need all that space, I have been living with 2.75Gb for years now. The basic limit is capped at 2Gb now (I only have .75 extra through referalls) and it was 2Gb when I first joined the plan I think about 8-10 years ago. Come on you should be making this a better product and at least give lower paid tier levels like Apple do 50gb, 250GB etc - I certainly dont want to be paying £10pm. My other option I thought would be to drop Dropbox and switch to Onedrive as I have 2 personal and business 1Tb accounts but unfortunatley it's not straightforward to have two Onedrive accounts on a PC. Not impressed and will have to keep looking for another solution - maybe I'm just too greedy but there seem to be obstacles put in the way whenever you try to change something.
Is there a device limit on paid accounts?
I understand why they are adding the restrictions, because they want to convert free customers to paying customers, which again makes sense, because they have to pay the bills.
But the cheapest plan is simply to expensive compared to the competition. I wouldn't mind paying 2$ for 100GB, like with Google One, but 10$ for 1TB, which I don't need at all, is simply to much.
I guess this is the end of me using Dropbox, if they are not going to add more competive plans.
Hello jezza1505
Thanks for reaching out to us, no there is no limit on how many devices can be linked to your Dropbox account.
Have a good day
if this works and it was a solution, please click on Accept as Solution. Also clicking on Likes would be super. Thanks!
Nice Dropbox. Now they are starting to censor posts, where people show their concern.
My post was removed with no information at all, just gone. Yeah you are defienlyt not seing me a customer now!.
Hi Hoder J
can you tell me the date of the post you posted that you claim that was deleted. I have access to admin console that can tell me info. Thanks and sorry for this.
if this works and it was a solution, please click on Accept as Solution. Also clicking on Likes would be super. Thanks!
So, if was to upgrade to plus, would this be unlimited devices?
Or would professional be needed for this?
Sorry guys, I have been away from Dropbox for too long, apparently they changed alot
Sorry Basic accounts, you can link only 3 devices.
thats a good question, The help article just says more than 3. Might suggest creating a support ticket on this if no official statement is made here.
if this works and it was a solution, please click on Accept as Solution. Also clicking on Likes would be super. Thanks!
Thanks @Chris_J Plus will suffice for what i need in terms of storage and support etc, but i'm reluctant to upgrade if there is a maximum device limit on plus
The way we work is changing. Share and discover new ways to work smarter with Dropbox in our community.Sound good? Let's get started.

Adelphia Hikes Commercial Rates
Adelphia Communications Corp. has told a number of its commercial subscribers in Los Angeles that their bills will more than double in March.
Perhaps to offset the hike, the company also notified those customers that they could now elect to take some high-priced sports networks on an à la carte basis.
"Adelphia is adjusting its cable rates for certain commercial properties following an internal review that showed that the company had been inadvertently charging residential rates to many of these commercial customers," said a statement provided by the company.
A spokesman did not address how many accounts were undercharged.
According to letters that went out to businesses in the Los Angeles area — Adelphia's largest cluster — the commercial rate increases add $58.95 to what had been a $47.50 bill for expanded basic cable. A digital set-top charge adds another $6.50.
A letter to one West Los Angeles business, dated Feb. 12, stated: "Fox Sports World and ESPN Classic renewed their agreements and found that Adelphia, as with all cable companies, was charging residential rates for networks instead of standard commercial rates."
An ESPN spokeswoman would not comment on specific Adelphia rates, but said the network requires all affiliate MSOs to submit affidavits determining the number of commercial accounts, and periodically conducts audits to confirm the numbers.
Fox Cable Networks Group executive vice president of affiliate sales and marketing Lindsay Gardner said Fox Sports World has not increased its commercial licensing fees to any MSO, including Adelphia, but declined further comment on specifics.
Other MSOs contacted by Multichannel News
said they weren't changing their commercial rates for the sports networks.
"It's my understanding that we are in full compliance" with the commercial rate card, Comcast Corp. spokeswoman Jenni Moyer said.
The new rate would charge $9.95 a piece for ESPN News and ESPN Classic, and hike rates for Fox Sports World by a whopping $38.95.
The Adelphia corporate statement said the revised rate structure was based on the seating capacity of each establishment and reflects "commercial rates we — and all cable providers — are required to pay each of our sports programming providers."
But the letter forwarded to Multichannel News
was from Johnathan Kramer of Kramer.Firm Inc., a cable TV consultant who does not purchase cable programming for public viewing.
Kramer and area regulators questioned whether the notice violates the state's Video Customer Service Act or local customer-service standards.
The state policy does not specifically exclude commercial or business subscribers, argues one municipal attorney.
Adelphia might be able to prove that it gave business consumers less than 30 days notice of the hikes because network demands took away its control of the situation.
The city of Los Angeles also enforces Multichannel Video Providers Consolidated Consumer Service Standards that demand 30-day notice of rate or packaging changes. Sources assert that the city's definition of "customers" applies to businesses.
Municipal consultants also question whether the notice constitutes an illegal negative option. The notice advises consumers that if they did nothing by Feb. 28, they would continue to receive the channels but would also be charged the higher rate.
The only way to avoid the charge is for the consumer to call Adelphia's accounts manager and dump the channels, or opt in for one or more on an à la carte basis.
Negative options are illegal under state and federal law.
Kramer's reply: Thanks, but no thanks, to a 124 percent rate increase.
"Hey, come to think of it, since my commercial expanded basic rate isn't going down, yet they're eliminating the sports channels in question, they're still getting a rate increase one way or another!" he added in an open letter on his Web site.

This is a question I am going to provide the answer to, I am curious how other sites have setup DB Connect for a large number of database connections.
The application has a nice interface and editing the configuration files is relatively straightforward, but I found the RESTful interface of Splunk particularly useful for DB Connect setup as I can create the identities, connections and inputs I need without clicking any buttons or editing files locally...
If anyone has an alternative/nicer solution feel free to provide alternative answers...
The information provided below relates to Splunk DB Connect V2, for Splunk DB Connect V3 refer to https://answers.splunk.com/answers/516111/splunk-db-connect-v3-automated-programmatic-creati.html#an...
The Splunk managing objects tutorial http://dev.splunk.com/view/managing-objects-tutorial/SP-CAAADQ5 covers the basics of the REST API, the part that I didn't know was where to access the URL:
Allows access to the RESTful interface of the application, from here there are a few services in particular I found useful:
curl -k -u admin:changeme http://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/splunk_app_db_connect/db_connect/identities/ -d "connectiontype=oracleservice" -d "name=OracleTesting" -d "password=XXXX" -d "username=OracleUsername"
curl -k -u admin:changeme http://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/splunk_app_db_connect/db_connect/connections -d "connectiontype=oracleservice" -d "name=OracleTesting" -d "host=OracleHost" -d "database=OracleDB" -d "identity=OracleTesting"
curl -k -u admin:changeme http://localhost:8089/services/search/jobs/export -d search="| dbxquery query=\"alter user OracleUser identified by password replace oldpassword\" connection=\"OracleTesting\""
Is the URL required to create a new input, there are a number of parameters to be passed in here which are well described in the service.
Good luck!

🚴🏻♀🚴🏻♂ Myawaddy – Myawaddy (800km)
The decision to cycle in Myanmar was quite spontaneous and so we arrived a bit unprepared in Mae Sot, the Thai-side border town. Luckily we met local resident and cyclist Ton, who gave us, and many passing tourers before us, essential knowledge on how to survive a trip through Myanmar. Things we learned:

I feel really bad for people who have a peanut allergy. Â Peanuts are delicious and to not be able to enjoy them must suck. It's particularly bad for people who can have a reaction to even the smallest exposure.
But really, where the hell did peanut allergies come from? Â It seems like until a couple of years ago you never heard of anyone with a peanut allergy. Â I mean allergies don't become epidemic do they? Â I mean, were there hordes of peanut allergic folks doing the nasty and they just had a bunch of kids? Â I have no idea.
Just something I was thinking about.

What should the Instant Regret Kit design be?
All right, we renamed the Fuko as the Instant Regret Kit (IRK). Now we need to figure out what to put on the bag it comes in.
You can design something or sketch something if that's your thing, but feel free to just describe something if that's easier. Once we figure out one (or more) ideas we like, we'll work with an illustrator to make the actual design.
Have at it! (And vote for your favorites, of course.)

Half of Irks face smiling the other half crying
Irks face either looking sad or vomiting.
Maybe Irk vomiting into a bag that looks similar to the bag it's printed on.
Maybe Irk vomiting into a bag, as the bottom of the bag falls out? (Hence, the instant regret of not picking / receiving a better bag?)
Random items falling out of the bottom of the bag, i.e. the possible contents of the Instant Regret Kit…
And yes, even a baby arm, possibly throttling Glen.
The contents falling out of the bag could change with each IRK.
I'm voting for the first IRK to have a jumble of the 50 user names of the folks whose ideas were chosen for the IRK falling out the bottom of the saggy bag.
That is all…
I'm voting for the first IRK to have a jumble of the 50 user names of the folks whose ideas were chosen for the IRK falling out the bottom of the saggy bag.
I like that
Can we work Glen into this somehow? And maybe the baby arm as well?
A night with Glen
Imagine Irk standing in for Wile E. Coyote having just run off a cliff but not yet fallen and just suddenly realising…
…but Irk!
Irk doing a facepalm.
Its hard to say "meh" more than a wordmark, so why not just a stacked
masked to look vaguely like Irk's head?
A random menagerie of meh's user names. Change it up for every new IRK bag so even more people can be pissed off when they finally get a bag but it doesn't have their name on it. (And of course a tiny little Irk image in the corner.)
Irk with a bandana and a No Regerts tattoo.
The infamous shrug emoticon
Irk making the infamous shrug - coming out of a half circle of stars, three yellow, three outlined in gray.

Join the Mehvolution
Price: $19.00
Condition: Probably New
So it's Irk looking down toward his own sack, but he's shocked to see the baby arm instead.
Irk, half-puddled on the ground. Baby arm lying nearby, fallen out of Irk. Glenn looking on from a short distance with a sad, stunned, disappointed look on his face.
Med kit with poison symbols (or radiation symbols) instead of red crosses and/or Caduceus
Irk in a bathtub with a face tattoo
IRK meant to look like Japanese script to pay homage to the past. New twist: each new bag logo has a hidden IRK on it like the Playboy magazine covers used to have.
Irk with his arms raised like he's scored a touchdown. There will always be a winner, either Irk or the purchaser.
Grayed out undo button with a mouse pointer over it. Possibly with Irk smashing the mouse.
Did you instantly regret naming it the Instantly Regret Kit? Because me thinks you should have…
Irk yelling at the spouse, with a speech bubble saying "you idiot, you bought another one?!" … oh wait, that's just what happens at my house when one arrives
Irk clicking a box that says "I'm not a robot"
Irk counting money and thinking "a sucker is born every minute."
Irk with a face of horror after seeing his new "Meh." neck tattoo for the first time.
How about the captcha thing asking you to "click all boxes with regret in them" and it's just the Meh logo segmented into a 9x9 grid
You had the $5 and you just had to have the pudding.
Irk kisses the sky
Its Irk sacrificing the other Meh mascots to make the bags. Soylent IRKs are mascots!
Just "Instant Regret Kit" in Comic Sans. Or Papyrus. Or Comic Papyrus.
Whatever the case, a facepalm must be involved.
A guy, who's clearly irked, standing in his front doorway, looking at a flaming 'The Instant Regret Kit' on his welcome mat. Irk is hiding in the bushes, laughing. Get it? It's like a flaming bag of crap. Get it?
Irk sitting on toilet with head held in hands in despair.
It should have a big Irk face on the front and below his sexy mug, "The I.R.K." in big letters, and put the Meh logo small in the lower left corner.
Irk looking frustrated, with a bunch of junk in front of him, trying to make sense of it all. Kind of like Al Bundy assembling a bike without the manual. Irk would be trying to use all of the items in the kit (new fuku) to make something fabulous, but it just wouldn't work. Maybe some glue, or duct/scotch tape holding together some random loot items.
Picture your last Fuku (if you've gotten one). Now try and MacGyver the shit out of that.
Or maybe Irk half buried in a mountain of candy corn and speaker docks — which would also likely foreshadow at least part of the contents of the bag itself
Maybe something like this?
I suck at sketching, but I gave it a try anyway. Basically, make it a wooden crate with stench lines and flies coming out of it, a sad Irk sticker slapped on the side of the crate, with a pile of poo on the ground next to it. Or perhaps it's a brown Devo hat, you really can't tell with my lack of artistic ability, can you?
Irk sitting patiently atop a bag, reading a newspaper, pants around his ankles.
well, this is what I was thinking. perspective from bottom of box looking up at some dude in agony opening up his box of crap. here's kind of what I was thinking but needs more perspective and yea…more talent.
Irk building his own wall around meh hq…not to keep people out but to keep meh staff in
A half-crushed box with Irk's smiling face on top and Irk throwing the box on two sides.
Sorry, I have no artistic merit and a broken arm, but picture this:
It's a shot from inside a living room with the point of view angled at the entrance. A beautiful woman, with a packed rolling suitcase, is opening the door to leave in a state of angered haste. Closer to the camera is Irk, sitting with his legs stretched out and a sad, disappointed look on his face. Near him is a tattered open box, and a couple of random, low-quality items strewn about the floor. I mean like the worst of the worst that has ever appeared on this site, such as some 12-year-old speaker docks, low-quality Meh-branded wearables, broken glass, a smartwatch box with a "return" sticker on it, a small pile of expired candy, and of course, a puke-green TIRK bag. Maybe Irk is also holding something, like a broken headset with a dangling ear cup. In the background, you can see a dog urinating onto a curtain.
PS: posting this for a friend. It's not like any of this is from personal experience or anything…
Keep it simple,
Have a picture of irk's head (straight on facing) with small hands offering a box with a question mark on it or simply "IRK". Could mix it up and have different symbols for different iterations such as different punctuations, numbers, or misc symbols on them. (Schrodingers cat comes to mind as a neat idea).
Could also play with the idea of placing the symbols on his forehead.
Irk's face but made up of hundreds(or tens) of baby arms; a baby arm mosaic.
@rawhite37 or made up of hundreds of meh faces
Instant regret coming with a bag of dynamite along with the obvious fidget spinner and candy corn etc.
A Wheel of Fish.
Underneath in a font reminiscent of Hanzi, reads "You so stupid."
Irk at the alter in front of a priest with an open cardboard box with a veil on it
Simply, "Remember, there is no regret until you look inside the bag, and then it is too late. Just say no. "
What about a timer with digital readout of 00:00:00.01 AM to show the time you must have placed your order to have gotten it? (I may be a little bitter since I have tried and failed many times to order one)
Instant Regret Kit, translated to Japanese symbols. It even has a meh face in it naturally.
Irk sitting at a computer with his head down in shame, issuing a /buy command on the forum, and getting a ridiculous (possibly changing) order number from mediocrebot
A thousand
Irk-shaped clicky faces with yesterday's left unclicked.
@ruouttaurmind I was coming here to say something almost exactly like this! You beat me to it. Now I'm forced to think some more.
@mehbee @ruouttaurmind I suggested the click faces 3 hours prior to that, but left out the one left unclicked.
@Kidsandliz @ruouttaurmind I think I saw that one too. That would work for me, and I liked the idea of having a bunch of user names all over it.
@Kidsandliz Sry, not trying to steal your thunder. I didn't read through them all.
/giphy cone of shame
@ruouttaurmind Don't worry about it. If I thought of anything it is guaranteed not to win…
The bag with Irk popping from out of the corner with insulting text bubbles
No offense to whomever came up with it, but I'm not digging the name. I worry there will be nipple confusion between Irk the troll and IRK the bag/box. "I just bought a The IRK from meh.com!" What?
Or your 'who's buying this stuff' map with the word SUCKERS! stamped across it (works on a couple of levels considering the political climate)
Irk with a bib on, fork/knife in hand, being attacked by an octopus he was trying to eat
I propose… a viking funeral.
Irk dejectedly staring at a boat, with a bag of some sort on it, burning… the flames fed by money.
On the site, it could be animated floating away and slowly sinking. Glen could shove it off.
Irk's face on a stylized package of instant ramen.
"Maybe it bothers me more than it should" in "The more you know" style.
Maybe Irk's face or silhouette in place of the star.
@stardate820926 this one's my favorite
Ok, one more then sleepy time. Irk taking a dump in the meh box. gnight ya'll.
Picture of Irk walking slowly down the highway in the rain with the end music from the Incredible Hulk playing by way of a sound chip embedded in the bag.
Irk the Troll passed out and half covered in vomit, one arm hugging a bottle of very cheap tequila, a fallen cell phone at his side displaying a last call to someone named Mortimer
Terrible/very cheap tequila = Guatemala Bob's. This is (or was) a real thing
Since it's a kit for Instant Regret, Maybe box like an In Case of Fire box, but this would be a break in case of instant regret. Inside is Irk with tissues in one hand and chocolate in the other. And a baby arm attached with a chain to break the glass .
![where Irk gets meh nightly deals from][1]
Irk gets nightly deals and gives customers curb service —well He gets the items from the cans people put out by their curbs at their homes.
Thus Irk standing with a garbage can maybe label the can instead of meh nightly deal to Instant regrets
Or you know some old-timey design for instant coffee…
A $5 bill with Irk's face on it instead, and appropriate text, like "In Regret We Trust" or just "Instant Regret Kit". Irk should be laughing, possibly waving fistfuls of money.
irk watching a truck drive away after leaving a pile of useless junk in his driveway. Candy corn, speaker docs, knives etc.
A warning label explaining this bag contains 5000 agitated wasps.
A box reminiscent of a first aid kit but leaking something.
A one dollar bill with a five dollar price tag.
Irk looking very embarrassed with his head down and not making eye contact, a wad of cash in his outstretched left hand passing to an unseen figure out of frame and a suspicious looking package being passed back to him.
A cardboard box that has been fancied up to look like pandora's box. It has been opened, but rather than smoke it's just a bunch of dust to signify how old and crappy the contents are. The dust is surrounding IRK and meh.com.
The meh face, but it looks suspiciously like a troll's butt turned sideways with googly eyes glued to one cheek
The same design as a Fuko bag, but with IRK on the side, and the bottom is slit down the middle, so when you pull the bag out of the box it ships in everything immediately falls out of it.
A box that very clearly does not contain a boat.
Irk squatting over a box, because it's all IRK crap.
- Simple yet infinitely profound.
This comes from a psychological test called the T.A.T. (But now with I.R.K).
A meh face based on Irk, but with the outer boundary spelling out "What did I just order?"
Or possibly "What did I just order?" as a motto below.
@brainmist or have the words state "Irk Meh'd me do it "
Irk holding a dirty bag of coins at a shipyard standing in line to buy "regret" from a dilapidated cargo ship that has "regret" painted on it.
So it's Irk in this pose, but his jersey says meh and his number is 2
The entire bag be Irk's face, and perhaps the handles of the bag be Irk's ears.
Super obnoxious, in your face, people staring at your bag at the grocery store. Something like this perhaps:
I always thought regret came in a bottle.
@2many2no Gaaa. I can't even look in the vicinity of that Wild Irish Rose without feeling queasy.
"20% alcohol by content" Ya, rubbing alcohol maybe.
@2many2no Mad Dog 20/20…good times
@ruouttaurmind @mehbee Y'all should try the T-bird…
It's kind of a mixture of cheap gin and kerosene.
@2many2no @mehbee @ruouttaurmind With the T-bird, you first take a few sluges, then crack open a DOnald Duck Grapefruit Juice and pour it into the bottle, cap, shake, and re-open… consume. MMMMMmmmmmmm! Drink INSIDE a dumpster for ambiance!
@2many2no WIsh I could find me some Ripple… been a few (3) decades… LOL!
@2many2no @ruouttaurmind @Technologist You got me with dumpster ambiance…who can pass that up
@2many2no @mehbee I'm 15 again…especially if you include Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. No wonder I despise all wine now and head straight for the bourbon…
Irk on one side, a turd on the other.
Simple Meh script logo and Poop Emoji below it.
IRK behind bars, in jail.
irk crying, kinda like this
irk snickering, kinda like this
Something like this?
The new name is great.
Irk getting a tattoo of Glenn on his butt… or arm…
Irk holding his nose, holding a bag at arm's length. It should also have stink lines, but I didn't draw them.
Irk on his hands and knees, tears running down his face, one fist pointing to the sky with a talk bubble saying WHY??? And a bag with the same picture in front of him.
Capt Picard face palming with Meh logo
the classic tongue on a frozen pole image (perhaps a Meh pole)
How about irk waking up in bed next Glen (or some other instantly regrettable decision, maybe a vacuum or another poor purchase). You can throw in some sticks of butter since butter makes everything better. Facepalm and irk saying "not again"
a horse's backside
Whichever idea wins, it should be printed upside-down.
Meh lost doodads
A rear view of Irk sitting on a log playing a banjo and looking up at a meh logo.
In big letters METH with the T scribbled out.
Big IRK lettering with a tiny Irk peeking around the I.
A return shipping label. With no return address.
When I think of the word "instant" I think of instant oatmeal (and camping), so I'm thinking of the image of a halfway torn open packet marked with IRK with the contents being dumped into a large MEH mug. Maybe some steam coming up and maybe a spoon.
A Styrofoam cup like the cup noodles with the lid up and Instant Regret on the front of the up. Maybe even a little irk sitting on the edge holding the fork or chopsticks.
Kiss it. Just a big elegant meh logo, with much smaller "Instant Regret Kit" text beneath it. I think a new pin-back badge and an unintelligible assembly directions sheet for each outing would not be bad, but why gild the lily.
I would say Irk dropping his ice cream
"Insta-Regret, when it needs to be fast, but not very good."
Wasn't this a slogan somewhere?
Irk getting inked with varying bad tattoos: Misspellings, tats in unadvisable locations (i.e. the ol' lightening bolt on the man member), detailed face of Cher…make the tat design. For example, this week it could be a Lebron tat in a Cavs uni.
Irk marrying my soon to be ex-wife? That's some long-term big time regret there.
Oh, had another idea - the Meh face, but with a single tear dripping down its face, above a simple-fonted Instant Regret Kit. Irk's face would work too, but personally, I think it's better as a subtler pun rather than "Yeah, it spells out IRK! You know! This guy!"
On one side of the bag is printed the Meh logo and in the bottom corner Irk is doing his Irk thing, normal and happy like.
On the other side is printed with stacked words "Instant Regret Kit", the capitalized letters distinguished in some way, and in the corner Irk is straight up lying on the floor, perhaps in a pool of his own tears, perhaps dead.
Irk tearing up a pile of cash and throwing it into the air. Indicating a complete waste of money.
irk greedily taking money from a hand .
I like the "Meh"shershmit"
A person holding a burning $5 bill in one hand, a lighter in the other, and a look of regret or mourning on their face.
Keep it simple with Irk's image in the middle with "Meh" on top and "Irk" below (or vice versa on the words).
Someone NOT pressing the buy it button.
Don't put Irk ON the bag, put him on the INSIDE of the bag, staring up from the bottom of the bag.
If you somehow empty the bag (Yea, I know, the bag ships empty. Work with me here.) without experiencing pangs of regret or disappointment, being confronted by Irk should do the job.
Have IRK written in pieces (broken and sketchy) and say something like IRK your 1/2 ass steal (picture of 1/2 a donkey looking tired and exhausted) is now pumped (picture of a ripped, muscled-up donkey) to be a complete dumb ass steal when you get two for Tuesday.
From (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Have a shark with blueteeth (representing Bluetooth) with a knife eating the meh mascot.
IRK standing facing straight while pointing and laughing at us.
Keep it simple. A big question mark with Irk in the dot. Put a big hat on him.
How about Irk set up like the old Uncle Sam poster, Irk wants you! And in small letters, Meh whatever, or something like that.
An image of the green button after meh purchase that says "discuss my rad purchase"
IRK looking into his bag, empty wallet in his hand, a small tear forming in one eye, doing his best impression of a homer simpson DOH!
Ahem. To whom it Meh concern:
I suggested "Infinitely Regretful Kontent (IRK)" at 3am on Monday (go ahead and check, I'll wait). While not an exact match for your admittedly much cooler final name, it is as best as I can tell the closest match of those submitted and quite possibly the inspiration needed for your decision. I'm not asking to be a chosen "winner" since having this as a tag line would be redundantly stupid, but can I get some recognition? A Fuku bag would be just dreamy!
@djsteve Wow, I instantly regret that. Well, not instantly, I guess this is a bit of delayed regret. But in any case, you're definitely now on the list for a Fuko!
(In my defense, when looking through the results, I searched for "regret" from the answers but missed yours because you had a space after the R to help identify the acronym.)
@djsteve Dang, I have the best one for this too… Irk looking into a white paper bag rather regretfully… The logo on his bag is an image of the same thing… repeats indefinitely like Irk regret bag-ception.
How about some blatant copyright infringement of the Amazon smile logo? Just turn the smile into a disappointing frown. Once the Amazon lawyers contact you, you should also have instant regret. It's doubly regrettable.
An image of a keyboard with the ctrl button and z button missing.
Pick several images of famous events of instant regret. Can be updated. Most recent: pic of Arkansas players missing routine foul ball to win 2018 college world series
Image of computer curse arrow clicking send button
"Hopes and dreams aren't made of these" in some fancy font. Like comic sans.
How about a scattered assortment of the Meh Smileys
IRK stabbing a goat along with the username/email of the current scapegoat so we can immediately complain.
/giphy dead goat
Second entry:
Just litter the whole thing in Captcha
IRK staring, clearly disheveled and hungover, at the TV on November 9th, 2016.
The face of Irk with a Mike Tyson face tattoo, framed by a toilet seat, from inside the toilet.
A stylized Michelobe Ultra Gold bottle.
Or a Packard Bell Computer case.
I can't see it NOT being Irk.
@ACraigL that's pretty creative! i like it…
Yay! Thanks @ChadP!
@ACraigL And then the other thing they can do (for each fuko) is include, in a few bags, an irk plush toy or irk key chain or something.
@ChadP The order showed up in my history today! Woo!
@ACraigL This is the only one I can see.
@TheMeerkat Thanks!
one side of the bag says "Christmas presents" with Irk wearing a santa hat, on the other side it says "Trash", and has a picture of Irk dropping a bag in a trash can…
Image of IRK just after he sent a drunk text (ideally misspelled) to his ex, possibly Fuko, saying how much he/she misses him/her/it.
Whatever the design, make sure the bag/container comes pre-worn-out with a hole in it.
Greek columns in the background that spell out IRK.
Irk is in the foreground center, wearing philosopher's robes looking sad but thoughtful. Below him in dictionary font is written:
regret \ ri-ˈgret \ - sorrow aroused by circumstances beyond one's control or power to repair.
This, but with Irk and booze.
Regret of not getting is as bad if not worse than regret of getting sometimes. So bag needs to have a captcha screen asking to click on the "store fronts" but only have IRK faces, candy corn, speaker dock, knives, etc showing with no "store front" pictures to click on to prove you are not a robot. This because MEH insists we are robots and it is hard to prove otherwise when trying to purchase. Most seem to have regret whether they are able to buy or not be able to buy!
May contain zero or more of the following:
- knife
- candy corn
- speaker dock
- baby arm
- regret
Glenn and Irk having a conversation:
Glenn: Only 2 things in life are certain…
Irk: Sadness and Regret?
Glenn: I was going to say Death and Taxes, but now I regret even bringing it up.
Irk paying respects to a gravestone that has a (five? I forget how much exactly they are sometimes)-dollar bill inscribed onto it.
Because that money is dead and gone, and shall be missed over what will come.
Irk saying "You may want to lower your expectations before looking inside. Now go even lower."
Brad Pitt's Tyler Durden handing Ed Norton a gift bag and saying "Get ready to hit rock bottom."
Just the text in all caps to indicate shouting "I REGRET NOTHING!"
Irk standing and looking back over his shoulder slightly wide eyed and drawn so it looks like he is urinating…in front of an electric fence. Show his pants being blown off
Two panels. First panel: Meh staffers jubilantly deciding to have a contest to rename fuko. Second panel: Meh staffers endlessly reading suggestions for rebranding.
Single Tear Irk
Quirky Irk…Like pretending to be a mime.
An egret…
How about an image of Irk twerking. It shows the excitement that meh sold their extras, and we can all be disappointed at seeing a troll twerk
just a giant ':/' face, it perfectly simulates both the feeling of missing the box and getting it only to find junk
/image rhea skeleton
Get IRK'd
What about Irk opening a box of chocolates, but it's things like fidget spinners and candy corn and chocolate all mixed up?
The bags should all have depictions (or descriptions) of first world problems on the outside, like not having enough room in your sports car to haul groceries, getting a sliver, or the WiFi going down. In comparison to all of these annoyances, the IRK would look like a blessing in comparison.
Create a new sticker to slap on boxes as they ship: Have a picture of Irk, lounging on a bed, one arm thrown across the empty pillow, the other holding a cigarette.
Very "Instant Regret"…
Easy! Just have Irk pulling down the collar of his shirt revealing a "NO REGERTS" tattoo.
barney on top of a mountain of baby arms
Irk standing in kitchen, making breakfast, with my robe on.
This, but better, and more face palming
The bag should have a picture of Ohio on it and a sign on it saying "Welcome to Cincinnati"
Alternative suggestion:
Irk handing over a deed with the word "meh" on it to someone wearing an "Anazom" shirt. (Word deliberately misspelled)
Third suggestion. Irk's head peeking out from a mountain of Candy Corn under which he has been buried.
@OnionSoup Irk eating his way out of a mountain of Candy Corn
Irk staring at a giant turd with his hands in the air: the ex VMP membership turd to be exact, in disbelief that he let it expire.
Irk holding his shoes walking away from a one-night-stand as the sun comes up behind him.
F5 Button with caption below "This IRKs me" or "SOLD OUT".
A burning dollar bill
A 2-D box (square or rectangle) made of outline-drawn junk (banana peel, broken TV, 3 legged chair, toaster with a spring sticking out, meh face, baby arm, etc.) maybe with simple color fill in each. Inside, the words Instant Regret Kit, each on its own line, aligned on the left. Probably don't want a font with too many curves, but perhaps one with decayed text? As on option, somewhere to the right of the words, either in or out of the box, Irk doing a facepalm like in the You Were Wrong video. Meh.com on the top or bottom – I think it could work either way.
IRK running away from a burning box of crap, with the caption
"Something went terribly wrong"
In Japanese, "This dingaling was really convinced they were going to get a flatscreen TV for $5".
So, I was thinking, maybe to let people know in advance how much they will regret it, that you tie together a biohazard sign, Mr Yuk, and Irk, something like this except maybe toy with the colors a bit to make it a 1 or 2 color print:
Rainbows and Unicorns. Glitter and a fairy princess.
Underneath, a pink kitten saying, "Just when you thought your day couldn't get any better!"
Glen as a full snake, coiled and holding a bag in front of him with his tail (like the snake in the picture, but with a bag, not an apple). Irk has been stuffed into the bag- you can tell because some part(s) of him are sticking out. The baby arm lies behind him, maybe gripping a knife.
A pig with lipstick, polishing a turd.
Irk wearing an IRK bag over his head, featuring the logo of Irk wearing an IRK bag over his head in infinite recursion.
Honestly, you all use creepy baby doll parts enough… why not just photoshop a zipper on the back of a baby doll?
A trojan horse.
Like this but with Irk faces and as a bag.
I feel like the design and name were already chosen.
Design image metadata will say created in 2017 or something.
![enter image description here][1]
Thank You!
(Meh IRK face)
Very much Regret again Son.
Irk sitting on a bag with the caption 'This will probably bother you more than it should'.
A bag covered in tears. Printed tears fine as well!
What about if it was Irk in the middle of the bag half melted into a mass of candy corn that covers the bottom half of the bag. Along with a thought bubble coming from Irk that says "IRK". Or even "IRK?!" Better yet it says "Here's your IRK!"
Obviously, the bag should bother more than it should, so it should be purple, but an annoying shade of purple. It will definitely necessitate Irk's handsome face.
What if it was shaped like Irk and had a secret stash pocket on the bottom, where his butt should be? Irk's crap could be a real thing!
Irk as Gollum.
How about a picture of the $5 Buy It button?
A flaming pile of poop.
Perhaps the newest incarnation of the bag could be reversible? On one side the Meh logo could be printed. Then on the reverse, the I.R.K. theme - be that something with the Irk logo or an amusing play on how trading our money for objects can be both pleasure and pain.
National Lampoons Vacation movie poster, but with Irk in place of Chevy chase. Maybe scatter some infamous fuko items around, or pile them up for Irk to stand on.
/image national Lampoons Vacation
A picture of Irk with a smirk on his face and underneath it says "You've just been IRKed!"
Irk's face done up with David Bowie makeup.
One or both of the straps on at least 10% of the bags should be broken
I was thinking something along these lines
A stylized version of this image
With an cursing "IRK!" spewing from his mouth. Beneath the image this statement in Japanese "No… No you can't get away. From hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee."
Sorry I don't know how to embed the image
@lichme thanks

Irk getting face palmed with the baby arm.
The classic Crying Native American clip, but with Irk in the thrown pile of trash. Maybe even with a tiny Irk in the tear.
/giphy crying native american
Put Glen on the bag, for the irony that only Mehsters will get. It should be an Irk colored bag though.
Or to keep a theme going, random curse words in non-western scripts that will make the bags unusable in ethnic neighborhoods. Like Hebrew to make them completely unusable in New York, or Arabic to escalate already high tensions. Perhaps hieroglyphics, that would look cool and about 7 people in the world would be able to read it on the fly.
IRK with binoculars next to his mailbox and a MEH delivery truck pulling up labeled on the side with "You want this stuff, right?" or what ever the exact words are when you buy "What have you done?"
It should just say
I nstant
R egret
K it
down the front side
on the inside at the bottom should be Irk's face with a speech bubble saying "You thought you were getting something good?"
IRK holding a MEH bag like he is reaching out and handing it to someone labeled "Regret Kit"
and possibly under that in smaller letters either "Refurbished", "Batteries Not Included" or "Assembly Required"
How about a black hole sucking up tons of random stuff like knives, speaker docks, candy corn, Fidget Spinners, etc and both Irk and Glen both standing outside it with a smirk
Awesome entries, everyone!
I'm going to be looking through these and working with our illustrator over the next couple weeks. Like with the name, I suspect we'll pick several winners and see about making a few different bag designs. Feel free to keep voting on your favorites.
I'm as good at art as I am getting fuko's!
I din't draw Irk, just colored him and did the rest. I took themes from the Meh site.
Here is the art work
If you REALLY wanted regrets!
A few more, even tho im not sure im allowed…
a) INSTANT REGRET KIT (in list format)
b) In "live love laugh" graphic style: Request/Receive/Regret.
(tbh contemplated risk instead of request)
THEN meh logo below
BONUS: glow in dark text with irk face: "you were warned."
standard counselling mood faces chart, all irk faces with different emotions, middle one is regret/ragrets circled in red. or make irk expression the same for all the emotions if you want! + instant regret kit label and meh logo below
mad ape den version:
top of graphic says "instant regret kit"
pic of irk with mic
speech bubble from irk's mouth says, "you got now sad bag"
meh.com logo below pic
I'm thinking a morning after regret kind of situation. We would need an image of a disgusted, regretful Irk laying in bed with the covers pulled up in shame and Glen laying next to him with his goofy lookin ass.
A first aid kit with irk's face filled with razor blades, little cacti, and a fuko bag.
What's the cutoff for this one?
Bag labeled "Instant Regret Kit" and underneath "just add water"
Simple, easy to print
new idea:
1.graphic of a instant scratch lotto card - card is labelled "win a meh-llion! scratch and match to win' The scratch card "foil" is mostly scratched off and reveals little graphics of candy corn, a knife, a martian watch texting "meh", Irk, Glenn, a goat, a poop emoji, a vip member badge, etc. There are no matches.
On the lower part of the scratch card graphic is a prize box that has been scratched. It says, "Sorry, you lose! Please buy again! meh.com (logo).
vegas style sign says "welcome to [script font) instant [big letter all caps] regret [little letters on bottom row] meh.com" or "welcome to meh.com mediocre labs". Irk's face can be in the center of the starburst at the top of the sign.
beneath the vegas sign, it can say
"what happens at meh never stays at meh" or "what happens at meh ships to you from meh" or "what we cant sell at meh ships to you from meh"
clear plastic bag made from thick plastic.
says "we're all about transparency. you bought this crap!" picture of Irk pointing. instant regret kit logo, meh logo.
alternative text: "there's no hiding it."
alternative text: "you've seen right through our disposal strategy"
alternative text: "let this bag be a cautionary tale"
alternative text "x-ray bag. only detects crap."
alternative text " there's a metaphor in here somewhere"
@alphabetress I like your ideas!
So, did I miss an announcement of what they chose? Can we still submit?
someone may have already suggested this, how about the faces of comedy and tragedy, but with irks face…
