Voy-O-Ween *Spooky Music* JARRAH
Women at Warp Episode 18: Voy-o-ween *spooky music* JARRAH: Hi and welcome to Women At Warp. Join us as our crew of four women Star Trek fans boldly go on our biweekly mission to explore our favorite franchise. My name's Jarrah and thanks for tuning in. Today we have crew members Grace. GRACE: Hi. JARRAH: And Sue SUE: Hey there. JARRAH: And before we get started we have a little bit of housekeeping. I'm gonna start off by getting Grace to talk a little bit about Geek Girl Con and. GRACE: Yes Geek Girl Con. JARRAH: Yes, and about some other news. So go ahead Grace. GRACE: Well first off, we had a great turnout at Geek Girl con this weekend this past weekend. It was amazing, and I want to thank so many people for coming out and supporting the event, and supporting all of these great guests we had, and some of the wonderful topics that we got to explore together this weekend. Now in sadder news Star Trek original series actor Bruce Hyde has recently passed from throat cancer. For those of you who don't remember him he was and he was, I want to say Ensign, Kevin Riley. And I wanted to bring him up because I love the fact that he's just an incidental feminist in one of the few drunken throwaway lines he gets. He walks into a room sees all the girls at the control panels and goes “Yeah, this is what I like to see! Women getting to work too!” *Sue laughs* And then he gets drunk and hijacks the com system and starts singing Take Me Home Again Kathleen.

68, the first Suck of 2018, John Wayne Gacy!
Cold Open: On the afternoon of December 21st, 1978, a half-dozen Chicago investigators, armed with a fresh search warrant, made their way down into the crawlspace beneath the home of John Wayne Gacy, at 8213 West Summerdale Avenue, in the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago. Officer Daniel Genty made his way, crawling along his stomach, to a spot underneath Gacy’s kitchen where he saw what looked like human hair sticking out of the ground. Shining a floodlight on the area, he saw a long depression that looked like a dry lake bed with cracks in the yellow gray covering of a layer of lime that Gacy had put over the entire surface of the dirt beneath the home. Genty popped an entrenching tool into the ground and after two shovelfuls of dirt, he hit some whitish bits of soap-like material. It was adipocere (“Add-i-pah-sear”) flesh - body tissue that has chemically changed to a lard like substance due to rot and moisture. The crawlspace smelled like a sewer. Genty dug further and hit bone. An arm bone. Definitely human. There were more hair strands on his little shovel. Genty turned towards some other officers poking their heads through the crawlspace access door. “Charge him,” he said. “I’ve found one.” Within minutes, Gacy was in police custody, charged on suspicion of murder. The body Genty had began to uncover was the first of what would be 28 corpses that would be removed from underneath his home. We tend to like it dark here in the Suck, and it’s hard to get darker than this week’s Gacy.

Julia Roberts Most Popular Movie Star
THE HARRIS POLL® #62, Embargo Until December 19, 2001 JULIA ROBERTS MOST POPULAR MOVIE STAR First time in series (since 1993) that a woman has topped the list Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford in second and third place ______________________________________________________________________ by Humphrey Taylor Every year at this time since 1993 we ask a cross section of adults to tell us who is their favorite movie star. This year, for the first time, a female star, Julia Roberts tops the list. She is followed by Tom Hanks, who moves up from number six last year, and Harrison Ford, who was the nation's favorite star in each of the last three years (1998, 1999, and 2000). Last year Julia Roberts was in fourth place, and the year before that she was number eight. The other stars in this year's top ten are Mel Gibson (down from number three last year to number four), Sean Connery (up from number ten to number five), John Wayne (down from number two for the previous three years to number six), Clint Eastwood (down from number five to number seven), Denzel Washington (down from number seven to number eight), with Robin Williams and Sandra Bullock in positions nine and ten, respectively. The biggest changes since last year were: · Sean Connery up five places to number five. · John Wayne down four places to number six. · Tom Hanks up four places to number two. Bruce Willis (equal number seven last year), Arnold Schwarzenegger (number nine) and Robert DeNiro (equal number ten) all drop out of the top ten, as Robin Williams and Sandra Bullock move in.

DEDICATION For my Great Aunt Vida, an artist and teacher, who was the star of her own story in an age when women were supporting characters. She was tough and kind, stingy and giving in equal measures. Vida Esta gave herself a middle name, because she could and always wanted one. Ms. Light was my first superheroine and she didn’t need super powers. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Three years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with an idea for research that was daunting. This thesis is the beginning of bringing that idea to life. So many people helped me along the way.

Dragon Warrior II Mini Guide
Dragon Warrior II Mini Guide This guide has some notes and tactics to make gaining levels faster and survival easier, as well as a lot of info I have yet to see anywhere else. It shows level by level the different areas I use to fight monsters and gain exp/gold so that I'm not stuck in any one particular area for long at all and get to see every enemy in the game. It doesn't talk about common knowledge things like what each chest has, equipment costs, getting 2 water flying cloths, etc. and assumes the person reading it has played the game at least a little. THIS GUIDE IS FOR THE NES VERSION OF THE GAME!!!!!! Though quite a few tricks here will work on SNES/MOBILE version a lot has been changed in them to make the game just way WAY easier compared to the original NES version. I hope that this guide is at least of some use to a few hardcore fans still having issues with this old game. A FEW GENERAL NOTES/TIPS: *I tend to play this game using FCEUX emulator; this is so that I can overclock it to 150% by hitting the + key once. This makes the game MUCH more fast paced and saves time for those of you who like me have a busy schedule. Also I don't use savestates to cheese thru the game. F that. *Decide whether your goal in the area is to get thru a stage or grind. Don't try and do both at once.

Behind the Screams
Behind the Screams 6 x 60’ EPISODIC BREAKDOWN 1. A Real Psyco The peaceful small town of Plainfield, Wisconsin is shattered when a female bartender goes missing. But it’s not until a few years later when another woman of the same age disappears that local sheriffs start putting together the pieces of a very strange puzzle. Two bloody crime scenes…dozens of empty graves…a sick obsession with mother…and a suit of human skin. You might think this is the plot from a horror film, but it’s all terrifyingly true. These are the actual events that inspired the movies Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, and many more stories of terror. This is the Behind the Screams account of serial killer Ed Gein. 2. Handsome Devil When two young women disappear from a lakeside beach, investigators have nothing to go on. But as bodies begin to surface and more women go missing, shocking similarities in the cases come to light: a handsome stranger with a broken arm, a Volkswagon Bug, and the name Ted. As investigators close in on the monster responsible for this horrifying killing spree, it leads to a devastating sorority house massacre… You might think this is the plot from a horror film, but it’s all terrifyingly true. These are the actual events that inspired the Buffalo Bill character in the movie Silence of the Lambs, and many more stories of terror. This is the Behind the Screams account of serial killer Ted Bundy. 3. The Real Killer Clown In 1970s Chicago, teenage boys are going missing by the dozen.
