Woman caught on video stealing from Uber driver's tip jar
A New York City Uber rider was caught on camera stealing from the driver's tip jar and dashing out of the car.
Driver Mohammed Bhuiyan's surveillance camera shows three passengers in the backseat. The passenger in the middle can be seen staring straight into the camera as she snatches all the cash in the tip jar, then runs away.
Moments later, Bhuiyan realizes his money is gone, but so are his passengers.
Bhuiyan gave the ride in August, but the video has just recently surfaced.
When the driver tried to complain to Uber, he told the Daily Mail he received an email response that read:
"We understand your frustration with this experience. We've attempted to contact the rider by phone and email, but haven't been able to resolve this issue. The rider responded to us and advised us that she didn't steal your cash from the tip jar. If you believe the rider has your cash as captured from your dash cam and is refusing to return it, you may want to initiate a formal investigation via the police."
Uber says it has taken action since video of the incident surfaced.
"What's been shown has no place on our app and the rider's access to the app has been removed," a company spokesperson told Fox News.
Bhuiyan told the Daily Mail that he has been too busy working to file a police report.

Male Organ Care: Avoid these Prepuce Problems
Prepuce gets a bad rap in American culture, but there are many positive things about it. It provides a layer of natural protection between the sensitive manhood head and clothing; it produces natural lubrication for the male organ; some partners enjoy the process of "undressing" the head of the organ by retracting the prepuce over the head with lips or hands. While surgery is not necessary for a healthy male organ, there are some unique problems that can occur in uncut men, and guys should be aware of them both in order to identify and prevent them. The following prepuce problems, and the male organ care steps to remedy them, are important for all intact men to know. Male Organ Care: Avoid these Prepuce Problems
Balanitis is a condition broadly characterized by inflammation of the prepuce, sometimes accompanied by inflammation of the head. It can be caused by several things. Most often, it refers to an infection created by improper hygiene. Smegma, the white substance that builds up under the prepuce, attracts bacteria and can cause infection if not wiped away on a regular basis (usually, once a day while showering). Proper hygiene is both the prevention and typical treatment course.
Another type of infection that can lead to prepuce / head swelling is candidiasis (yeast infection). In men, this usually happens among diabetics or those who have unprotected sexual activity with an infected woman. In the former case, managing diabetes is effective the best prevention protocol, and in the latter, protected activity serves to prevent yeast infections. Treatment involves use of an antifungal cream. If contracted from a partner, both partners should be treated simultaneously to prevent a resurgence.
Finally, aggressive sensual activity or solo play can lead to swelling of the prepuce and head. Giving the member a break can speed recovery, and using more lubrication next time may help prevent a recurrence. Male Organ Care: Avoid these Prepuce Problems
Phimosis is marked by the inability to retract the prepuce, usually because of infections and scarring. The latter may result from infections due to improper hygiene. Medicated creams may be prescribed to correct the problem.
During adolescence and the teenage years, the prepuce generally becomes unattached from the head of the male organ. Rarely, the adhesions that attach the prepuce and head at birth do not wear away normally, and medical intervention is required. Stretching exercises may be of assistance in naturally retracting the prepuce.
The male organ can be trapped in the head of the male organ. If stuck in this position, the prepuce may cut off blood flow to the head of the male organ, constituting a medical emergency. Going to the emergency room is called for in this situation to prevent serious, permanent damage. Avoiding super-aggressive sensual activity and odd thrusting angles can help prevent it.
Prepuce Entrapment
When the male organ is soft, the prepuce is baggy and often wrinkly. This renders it susceptible to being caught in fly zippers. While this may sound painful and may require medical attention to remove the skin from the zipper's teeth. Men can lessen the likelihood of this occurring by wearing undergarments and practicing caution when zipping and unzipping (sliding one hand between the pants and the undergarments is a good way to go).
Caring for the prepuce is generally not difficult. Guys need to retract it gently and wash away smegma regularly; using just warm water, or warm water plus a very mild cleanser, while wiping the smegma away with the fingers is a simple task. Men can boost their manhood care regimens by using a male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) that keeps the skin moisturized, supple and retractable. In addition, a crème with vitamin A can help combat bacteria that promotes odors and infections. There is nothing wrong with prepuce, so long as a man takes care of what he has.

Well, it finally happened.
Twitter has updated its iPad app to make it look like its iPhone app. It was inevitable this was going to happen, but I'd been holding out hope that somehow the iPad app would slip through the cracks.
Alas, it didn't happen.
Twitter's iPad app is my favorite iPad application by a mile. It's a funky design that has card-like screens sliding back and forth when you click on things. It has cool little touches, like, if you put two-fingers on a tweet, you can open up the user's information. And then when you pinch it shut slowly you can see it fold itself.
The iPad app was designed by Loren Brichter, who also designed Twitter's old official iPhone app. He left Twitter in November of 2011. A month after Brichter left Twitter, it released a redesigned iPhone app, which I hate.
I wasn't alone. John Gruber of Daring Fireball also trashed the new design when it was released.
After Twitter ruined its iPhone app, I went through a four Twitter apps for iPhone trying to find one I liked. I landed on Tweetbot.
One of the things that was great about Twitter is that it allowed developers to create different applications. You could have a dozen options for finding the iPhone app that suited you.
However in the last few months, it has killed all of that. It's all but stopped developers from making new Twitter applications. It's doing this because it wants all users on the official Twitter apps which it can control and sell advertising against.
That would be fine if Twitter's official app was as good, or better, than what third-party developers make. It's not.
Now that Twitter has ruined its iPad app, no developer is going to be able to rise up and build an alternative. (Tweetbot has an iPad app, which I'll check out, but I don't think it's as good as the old Twitter iPad app.)
So, I'm going to have to be careful not to update my Twitter app just so I can keep the using the great, old design.

More than two dozen commuters were stranded for hours overnight on a Manhattan-bound NJ Transit train that lost power in a tunnel underneath the Hudson River, officials say.
Downed wires stopped the train on its tracks inside the tunnel shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday, NJ Transit says.
Twenty-seven passengers were stuck on board the Northeast Corridor train for about four hours before they could transfer to a rescue train. The train was running off a battery, officials say, so the cars were heated.

Adam Lambert Joins Forces With AT+T and the Trevor Project
Out and proud singer Adam Lambert has joined forces with AT&T and the Trevor Project for "Live Proud," a campaign designed to further and fully support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning people -- the LGBTQ community.
The overall "Live Proud" effort invites the LGBTQ community to be empowered and proud, just like Glambert.
The singer is offering a small group of contest winners the chance to enjoy an intimate gig in Los Angeles, at a small venue. Fans are asked to submit an image or story that represents an AT&T "Live Proud" moment, and that's how they can enter for a chance to win the aforementioned AT&T VIP experience with Adam Lambert.
Additionally, AT&T will contribute at least $25,000 and up to $50,000 to the Trevor Project, an organization that focuses on both crisis intervention and suicide prevention for LGBTQ youth.
The contest runs through June 30, and participants can like the AT&T Live Proud Facebook, which will lead to AT&T donating a dollar to the Project. They can also RT @ATT, @TrevorProject or @adamlambert in tweet that mentions #attliveproud and AT&T will donate 50 cents to The Trevor Project.
So get to submitting, liking and RTing, people!

The simplicity of an earlier day is brought home in a painting by French artist Jean-Francois Millet in which a couple of peasant men are shown carrying a newborn calf on a stretcher-like device laden with hay. The calf looks healthy as it is carried from the fields where it was born. The men, meanwhile, walk slowly as they carefully attend to the business of "bringing the calf home."
It is a pleasant image, reminding us of the bond between humans and animals ― a sense of stewardship.
Many of the popular images of farm animals over the years have had a small-farm backdrop. That, in turn, has led many people to believe ― rightly or wrongly ― that animals receive more individualized attention and better care on smaller farms.
But a growing body of research refutes that notion.
Best-management practices
Perhaps the strongest evidence that large farms provide a high level of care comes from a National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) report released in October 2007.
In that report, farms were surveyed on a number of management practices, and it turned out that the larger-sized farms were more likely to engage in best-management practices than smaller farms.
For instance, it is recommended that calves receive 4 quarts of colostrum within the first one to two hours of life. Yet, many farms fall short of this goal, delivering colostrum a little later than that ― and small farms are guiltier of this than large farms. According to the NAHMS research, calves on small farms with fewer than 100 cows get their first colostrum feeding 3.4 hours after birth, on average, while those on large farms (500 cows or more) get theirs 2.8 hours after birth.
Only 1.1 percent of the small farms in the NAHMS survey routinely monitor serum proteins in calves to determine if the animals are off to a good start, compared to 14.5 percent of the large dairies that use this practice.
Having a specified maternity area is another best-management practice. In the NAHMS survey, 51.5 percent of the small farms have maternity housing that is separate from the lactating cows. Yet, 90.4 percent of the large dairies have this feature.
"So, we have a bunch of good management practices and these seem to be used more often on larger farms," animal welfare expert Dan Weary, of the University of British Columbia, told those attending the joint annual meeting of the American Dairy Science Association and the American Society of Animal Science last week in Indianapolis, Ind.
Possible explanations
A few years ago, researchers from the University of British Columbia and Novus International found that the large farms they studied in the northeastern U.S. and California were doing a better job of minimizing lameness in cows than small farms. This was further documented in an article last January in the Journal of Dairy Science which noted "large herds are more likely to adopt management practices that are beneficial for lameness," such as less restrictive neck rails and more water space per cow.
Weary, who participated in that study, notes there are several reasons why large farms may have an advantage:
- They are more likely to have specialized staff and training.
- They use data to make decisions and preferentially benefit from expensive technology that provide data.
- Large farms are more likely to be profitable, which reduces welfare risks to the animals.
Well-known animal-welfare expert Temple Grandin, who spoke in the same session of the American Dairy Science Association meeting as Weary, echoed his sentiments on large farms vs. small farms.
"Big does not equal bad," Grandin said.
Yet, one area where large dairies may fall down relative to small dairies, she said, is calf care.
Certainly, there is room for improvement. For instance, dairies might want to consider opening up their free-stall barns during certain times of the day to allow cows access to pasture, according to Weary. He said studies have indicated that cows prefer to do this at night ― say between midnight and 5 a.m. ― so it can be accomplished without interrupting other activities.

If we're to believe a recent article in the Boca Raton News then that's exactly what a pair of Florida law school students have dreamed up. The duo, concerned by the fact that their fellow students were routinely abusing prescription medications, decided to come up with a "safer" alternative, one that contains various tea extracts and related stuff, among other things.
It's called Focuset, and it's made up of an assortment of vitamins and herb extracts ranging from green tea leaf to guarana seed and yerba mate leaf. For more information about what's being touted as an "Advanced Student Concentration Formula" (hmmm) check out Focuset's Web site.

Hi, I also saw the article in the Boca News, and I applaud those students for taking action. After taking a quick look at the ingredients, it seems that it could actually be beneficial.
In an unrelated note, how do I add you so I can keep track of your blog (this is my first weblog post ever)?
Take care

Here's how these mating nucs were run all summer. Divided nucs with five, half sized deeps on each side:
Transferred into divided 10 frame deeps to hold a colony on each side:
Below: Another 'condo' after transfer..colony in back transfered two weeks ago. Colony in front transfered three weeks ago. Not all frames are drawn out yet, but they are trying to build up as you can see by the new comb on the top bars and inner screened cover:
If they havn't drawn out and filled all the frames in the bottom box, I don't 'bait' them up to the new box with any drawn frames, so they fill the bottom deep before moving up.This photo was taken July 13th.
Give them another box and feed well:
Here they are after about a month-photo taken 8-10-13:
One side stronger than the other. This is the upper box:
The smaller mating nucs do suppress the newly mated queen if you keep her in very long. Give her more room and watch her go to town!
Overwintering double colonies is a little tricky. You need to equalize the colonies so they are about the same strength going into the winter. Easy to do with a little manipulation and increased/reduced feeding depending on the needs.
I could put a queen excluder on top and let the bees mingle over winter, keeping the queens separate. But the problem with that is during the winter the bees will pick a favorite queen and jump ship to the other side, abandoning their queen. Be sure your hive divider tolerances are tight! Or they will sneak over to the other side on their own.
I have 40 premium queens I am over wintering this way. Some will be in singles, some doubles. I'll let you know how it goes.
Those that overwinter well and show excellent qualities will be available as breeder quality, locally mated Northern queens. I plan to use the others for making up early nucs and any replacements I may need for my larger hives.
I picked a good year to make increases to my yard. Suger is the lowest I've seen it since I have had bees. I paid $9.73 for a 25# C&H at costco. Just bought another ton

The firefighter was taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center for treatment, said Ian Brennan, a Baltimore fire department spokesman. No one else was injured.
The mid-morning fire spread to both floors of an occupied rowhome in the 1500 block of Cliftview Avenue, Brennan said. The agency is investigating the cause of the fire.

Bloomberg, Quinn crafted today's political landscape
For Mike the mayor and Chris the speaker, the fix is in, the die cast, the deal cemented. They are manacled together in municipal history without a key and, like Jackie Gleason and Art Carney, in a famous comic scene, they cannot "boomf" their way out of the handcuffs.
On New York City's political stage, nothing that might come between Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan) could change the enormous favor these two politicians did each other four years ago to alter the rules of the game for their mutual benefit.
The 5-year-old, still-salient fact buried under a mounting pile of daily campaign updates is that Quinn and Bloomberg hold municipal office right now because they changed the term-limit law in 2008 to make themselves eligible for an additional four-year term.
Together, you could say, they negotiated this year's electoral landscape in advance.
Now we're hearing about Bloomberg's purported soundings for a successor from outside the current crop of candidates. This brings a lot of risk-free, and substance-free, name-dropping of fantasy candidates including Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell.
But even after Quinn faces questions about Bloomberg "turning away" from her, and even as she criticizes Bloomberg for offhandedly equating, post-Newtown, the United Federation of Teachers with the National Rifle Association, these two will still have each other to thank for their extended stays.
During his first two terms, Bloomberg denounced the prospect of changing the two-term limit because, he said, the people had spoken twice in the 1990s in referenda on the issue. Such a change would be a "disgrace," he said. Then he proceeded to lobby for it, with no referendum. He needed Quinn and a Council majority to do it.
Meanwhile, just a glance at the low moments of the third mayoral term born of this deal could help the pack of rival candidates of either major party dissipate public fears about losing the incumbent.
Recall: The Sanitation Department's widely panned response to the December 2010 blizzard; a schools chancellor with no education experience who lasted three months; a boondoggled payroll system contract that spawned federal corruption cases; and police tactics that just Tuesday led a federal judge to rule the NYPD "systematically" trespassed on constitutional limits when making trespass stops.
Bloomberg aside, the seasoned and well-funded Quinn has a drive and presence of her own at City Hall that make her a top contender. For starters, she could become the city's first female mayor, which her supporters see as a major and relevant selling point in an otherwise all-male field of candidates thus far.
One city-based political consultant, who isn't working for a mayoral candidate and declined to be identified, said: "She can share credit as a full partner in all the successes of the last eight years while keeping herself away from Bloomberg's personality issues. He can be so tone-deaf, but she comes off in a place like the Rockaways as populistic. As the first openly gay speaker, she has support in the LGBT community. She has access to the business community, to raise funds, as someone they can do business with."
Josh Isay, spokesman for the Quinn campaign, said "voters in New York want results" -- and while the mayor and speaker have negotiated agreements on seven budgets, they also had policy differences.

This was such a fun project! While I was planning Miley and Bailey'second birthday party I couldn't decide on an activity for the kids....what do you do with a bunch of sugar filled 2 year olds? This of course was before we knew it would be record breaking March tempatures and we would be able to use the bounce house an swing set!
I thought about a pinata but I wasn't thrilled with the idea.I cringe everytime our kis friends have a real pinata. It always seems my kid is going to be the one going home with stitches as she gets closer and closer to the swinging stick. However, for Cadence's 1st birthday we had a pinata that was a pull string..a new concept that I love! If you haven't seen a pull string it's a pinata with a trap door which opens with a string. Each child pulls a string...when a child pulls the secret string the door opens and all the candy comes pouring out. Much better! (I know I know...I'm overprotective!)
Could I make a pinata for them? Nah. I didn't think much about it...till one day I walked into the garage and saw these large pieces of cardboard awaiting the recycling man. I couldn't let them go to waist! So one night while the hubs was on 24 hour duty I decided to try to make my own. I was so incredibly happy with the outcome! I really didn't think it would work, or be that easy. And the best part, it was totally free. Love that.
I'm going to be making more of these for sure...I knew I had to share it! So here ya go!
Gather supplies: large pieces of cardboard (I used boxes), masking tape, crepe paper, glue, pencil, box cutter, scissors, and curling ribbon.
You will also need a zip tie or wire and a rope to hang.
Step 1: Trace out the shape on your cardboard. Mine was about 20 inches tall. Make sure to use a pencil so you can erase and adjust lines until it's just right.
Step 2: Make sure you lay a layer or two of cardbord down if your cutting inside! Might be best to cut this outside or in the garage...I'm such a risk taker! Then cut out you shape using a box cutter. Yep, I have a pink box cutter. Actually I have an entire pink set of tools :) Remove the 2 and use the outline to trace it on the second piece...don't forget to lay something underneath!
Step 3: Cut several strips of cardboard about 4.5 inches wide. The length really doesn't matther.
Here's what you should have now.
Step 4: Now you'll begin to the pinata together. I started by placing a piece on the bottom and attachng the strip.
Work your way around the shape. I thought this would be tricky but it was so simple. The cardboard bent really well and didn't put up a fight at all.
Step 5: Once your done with the first side you can lay the second side on and now tape around that. This whole process took me maybe 25 minutes. I couldn't beliv how easy and fast it was.
Here's what you've got now. Not amazingly pretty but we'll get there!
Step 6: Cut out a trap door on the very bottom, mine was about 4 inches. If your making a regular pinata you can skip this step.
Step 7: Tie a know to a long piece of curling ribbon and then tape it to the inside of the door, make sure the knot is towards the back not near the edge...just in case. Wrap the masking tape around the door...this will make it a little tighter fit as well.
Here's what it lookes like.
Step 8: Then cut another little door somewhere on the back of he pinata. This is so you can stash the candy.
Step 8: Now to decorate! Take your your crepe paper and fold it in half. Make the little fringes by cutting 3/4th way to the fold. Don't cut to the fold!
Step 9: Now you can glue the strips of crepe paper fringe right around the pinata! I used two rows o pink then two rooms of puple and so on. Warning!!! This took FOREVER! You might want to pop in a movie and make some popcorn :) What kept me going...was it looked so incredibly cute!
Step 10: Once you have wrapped it up in crepe paper there way be a few spots still naked....just do the same thing to cover. My naked spots were on top of the base of the two and under the tip of the curve.
Step 11: With elmers glue attach lots of curling ribbon strips to bottom. You want these to pull off really easy. You want to hide the "secret" strings. Let them dry for awhile..then cover with crepe paper in the same way.
Step 12: You will need to punch two holes a few inches apart. Then you can slide a zip tie in to create a loop to hang.
And there you go!!!
Now you have an awesome pinata to destroy! ;)

Bedrooms: Rustic & Romantic
15 sweet retreats bursting with charm
Cozy and casual, cottage-style bedrooms are a dream come true for anyone who wants a comfy, inviting retreat to relax and recharge.
Inside this charming 1817 farmhouse on Cape Cod, a twin bed clad in sweet linens tucks under the eave in an upstairs bedroom.
Stenciled Designs
Stenciled floors wear a Fortuny-inspired design and spice up the reclaimed chestnut floors in the master bedroom where light floods in through large windows and a set of French doors. A John Rosselli chandelier hangs above the "Branwin" bed from Ironies.
Beach Retreat
As designer Donna Whelan got to work on this two-story California cottage, she shored up the standout architectural features of the home, such as board-and-batten wainscoting, wood-plank floors, crank-operated casement windows, steep staircases, and exposed ceiling beams, to let their natural beauty shine through. Then she seamlessly scattered antique accessories that nod to the nearby water—glass sea floats, framed bits of coral, vintage globes, and other seafaring gear—among brand-new sofas, built-ins, and bedding for a collected-over-time feel that's both clean-lined and cozy.
"Obviously the beach was an influence," notes Whelan, "but there's a nautical influence as well. One of my favorite things about the house is that when you walk around inside, it feels like you're in an old boat."
An iron bed and small-scale dresser tuck beneath the paneling-clad eaves in the upper-level master bedroom.
Warm and Woodsy
Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey and her husband, Brandon Winfrey, purhcased their cedar-shake-clad cottage in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, the cottage possessed just enough historical charm to outweigh its state of disrepair. Built by Philadelphia Quakers in 1901 it retained a wealth of original features, such as stone fireplaces, Dutch doors, and wooden doorknobs.
Now, furnishings imbue the getaway home with an airy freshness that the whole family relishes. Beaded-board walls and a beamed ceiling mix with elegant lamps and fabrics in the master bedroom, creating a cozy, casual space.
Feeling Floral
After traveling the world for a corporate career in hotel sales and marketing, Diane Willard Kaufman is finally at home. Not in the massive Atlanta house she once owned, but in a sweet little cottage on Tybee Island, Georgia, that is the culmination of her hopes and dreams.
Diane called her friend and interior designer Jane Coslick to help her renovate and decorate the 1920s cottage. They finished the attic and added a light-filled stairwell and dormer windows, creating a serene dormitory-style guest bedroom and spacious bath upstairs. A new double staircase, siding, and fresh paint spruced up the exterior.
Diane leans toward a pretty pastel palette that looks dreamy against a clean backdrop of white-painted plank walls and hardwood floors. In the guest room, an original painting by Bellamy Murphy adds a pop of vibrant color to the soothing green palette. An old table was cut in half to create two nightstands; translucent glass lamps resemble polished seaglass.
Beautiful Guest Room
Atlanta interior designer Carter Kay, worked in close collaboration with colleague Nancy Hooff and Savannah architect John Deering to bring this three-story white clapboard house on Savannah's Skidway River back to its original charm.
Deering reconfigured the relationships of some of the rooms, rebuilt the termite-damaged guesthouse, and designed historically accurate new outbuildings that look as if they were built during the Civil War era. Kay and Hooff responded to the homeowners' wishes with a softly muted palette. Nature inspired every color in the house. Subtle shades of green are drawn from the river, live oak trees, Spanish moss, lichen, and marsh plants found on the 3-acre property. The designers then played up warm tones of saffron, sienna, and ocher in several places. "The juxtaposition of warm shots of color plays remarkably well with textured linens in shades of wet sand and driftwood," Kay says.
The design team selected rich and varied textures to add movement and interest, including hand-forged iron lighting and tables, relaxed rattan and wicker seating, easy-care leather and linen upholstery, and honed coral stone and reclaimed wood floors.
In the guest room, modern iron beds are positioned in front of the windows to catch the breeze, an old Southern tradition.
Bright and Cheerful
To unify her disparate collections—which include Foo dogs, French earthenware, and Balinese seashells, to name a few—interior designer Debbie Duggan enveloped her Newport Beach, California home's interiors in crisp white walls grounded with deep espresso floors. "I like backgrounds to be neutral, so I can layer color in with things I can easily alter, like art and accessories," she says. "
Vibrant art is a favorite foil for traditional furnishings. Upholstered seating gathers atop seagrass rugs, and linen fabrics prevail. "Linen relaxes everything and lets me balance California's casualness with my love of formal furniture." That's especially true of the hand-blocked fabrics that punctuate nearly every room in the house. Exuberantly patterned and brightly hued, "They're quintessentially happy California fabrics," Debbie says. "They make everyone feel comfortable."
The rustic wood and iron bed hosts overnight guests in a room accentuated with a painting by daughter Julie and thrift store art.
Breezy in White
Cherished treasures hold the spotlight in this Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, home thanks to a the gleaming backdrop of high-gloss white floors, coated with industrial-grade paint to withstand foot traffic; quiet white walls; and ceilings sheathed with whitewashed wood planks. The sofas and chairs are slipcovered in white linen-cotton fabric—for the fresh but rumpled look the homeowner loves—so that pillows, tables, and shelves with tints of gray and blue can draw the eye.
The serene white scheme found elsewhere in the house also quiets the master bedroom. A mirrored nightstand, languid draperies, and a French-style chair introduce touches of refinement.
Stylish Barn Bedroom
To rediscover the character of her family's California cottage, Jen Tidwell took cues from the trees standing steadfast on the property. "We're surrounded by beautiful trees," Jen says. "So I thought if I could add found elements of nature and wood to the house, not only would I bring a bit of the outside in, but I could also create some cohesiveness."
One design element that often repeats itself is recycled barnwood. The rustic boards cover the kitchen island and range hood, scale son Ryder's bedroom walls, and shimmy up to the ceiling in the dining and living rooms.
"Neutral, natural colors became my palette," Jen says. Gray, a shade some might consider cold, warms when paired with rich browns. Accents of cool blues and greens, along with fiery streaks of orange and red, liven up the rooms. "A little bit of color, used in the right way, adds a certain energy to a space," Jen says.
A rope-wrapped bed frame and lamps add texture to Ryder's room under the eaves.
Cozy Daybed
As though plucked from the pages of a storybook, this oh-so-charming 1949 cottage is the stuff of fairy tales. Located on the western end of Maine's coast, the Cape Cod-style home is nestled in the small village of Biddeford Pool, which is just a stone's throw from well-known Kennebunkport.
Designer Tracey Rapisardi was enlisted to take the 1,200-square-foot home from dark and dated to happily-ever-after. Rapisardi began the magical transformation by removing the ceilings to expose beams and rafters to make the main living space and the loft bedroom feel more open and airy. She refinished the floors and coated the home from baseboards to rafters with gallons of soft white paint.
In the loft bedroom, a blue daybed beckons with layers of soft green, cool aqua, and crisp white linens. As she did on the main level, Rapisardi removed the paneled ceiling and bathed the room in white.
Reclaimed Space
Designer Raili Clasen's California ranch house is so effervescent and easygoing that it could easily win a congeniality award. Though not exactly the farmhouse she'd dreamed of renovating, it was, she says, "as close as I was going to get in Orange County."
To complement her home's fuss-free yet charming architecture—which includes exposed beams, unfinished floors, and barn doors—she filled the relaxed rooms with an inspired blend of well-worn furnishings and contemporary accents. Even bedrooms are cozied with vintage furnishings and then energized with colorful print pillows. "My style is a combination of modern and rustic, with a splash of quirkiness," Raili says. After all, "What is a home if it doesn't have personality?"
In the guest room, salvaged wood creates a warm backdrop for the iron bed, an antique that's been in Raili's family for decades.
Lovely and Livable
Resilient canvas slipcovers, bring-it-on indoor-outdoor fabrics, and even linen—washable, of course—imbue elegant rooms in Jackie and Hal Wiggins' weekend getaway in Seagrove, Florida, with an unexpectedly relaxed air. The fact that nothing quite matches furthers the effect. Fine European antiques pair beautifully with weathered architectural salvage; cotton rugs and gilt-framed intaglios make stunning neighbors. Colorful art and accessories jolt bedrooms awake; whisper-hue linens quiet them back down. "This house is a real mixture of everything I love," Jackie says, noting that what she loves most of all are the children and grandchildren who come to visit. "We're making our family memories here."
Jackie Wiggins' penchant for neutral rooms spiced with colorful accents is showcased in her Florida guest bedroom, where orange-red energizes white bed linens. An antique chair and accent pillows are identically trimmed for additional verve.
Shabby Chic Style
Kathy and Doug McCabe's 1930s cottage features a host of white-slipcovered furniture. Sometimes slouchy, sometimes ruffled white cotton slipcovers are Kathy's go-to secret for stunning, practical decor. "People see all this white and wonder if we really live here," she laughs, "but what they don't realize is that as long as your slipcovers can go in the wash, they can handle anything and everything."
Kathy is an interior designer and shop owner whose sweetly romantic store mirrors her home. Together, she and Doug have married their shared interests to create a welcoming home with uncomplicated, yet utterly charming, ease.
Though largely absent of color, the McCabes' interiors are rich with visual interest thanks to an array of texture, patina, and character. "Doug and I both collect quite a few things," Kathy says, noting that their treasures feature prominently in their decor.
Kathy originally planned to use this French zinc awning as a kitchen range hood, but it was too big. Instead she created a canopy for the master bedroom.
Cool Neutrals
When your job is writing about other people's homes and making those homes look picture-perfect for the pages of a magazine, you learn a lot of useful secrets for creating welcoming spaces. Just ask Carol Schalla, former home editor of Midwest Living. "Mostly, I learned that good style doesn't have to cost a bundle," she says.
Her barn-inspired retirement cottage in Wisconsin's Door County proves her point. Built on a budget, it displays tricks of the trade she learned on the job for producing low-cost high style. "I wanted a contemporary barn look with warming elements of nature, but with a clean, minimal look," Carol says.
Her own backyard provided free-for-the-taking inspiration. Gnarly branches stand in for artwork. Rocks are piled as tabletop decor. Even Carol's color palette is drawn from her home's setting. Vistas of water, forests, farmland, and limestone rock formations informed the grays, browns, and greens united by warm white. Mismatched furnishings and collections of antique pitchforks, ironstone pitchers, barn vents, and even antlers extend the look.
A salvaged fragment of an old windmill stands in as a headboard in the master bedroom.
Gorgeous in Green
Jane and Alex Whaley's new home in West Beach along the Florida Gulf Coast is a three-dimensional canvas teeming with charm and personality. The cottage sports a blend of nature and sophistication. Floors throughout sport a pickle barrel finish. Light but also durable, the surface masks sand and actually looks better with age.
Modern touches like an acrylic bedside table mingle with galvanized tubs filled with extra linens and pillows in the guest room.

Welcome to New Zealand's compact and picturesque waterfront capital city.
Primarily surrounded by water, New Zealand's capital city sits on the south western tip of the north island. Wellington's scenic natural harbour and steep green hillsides which are adorned with tiered suburbs of colonial villas are an attractive vista for residents and visitors alike.
Wellington is a compact and cultured waterfront city, with many of its major attractions conveniently accessible on foot.
- Visit the highly acclaimed Te Papa (Museum of New Zealand)
- See the stunning view from the city to the sea at the Mount Victoria Lookout and then wander through the nearby nature trails
- Wander down the inner city bohemian 'Cuba Street', for a medley of buskers, art galleries, vintage fashion, graffiti-filled alleyways, cafes, restaurants and community exhibition spaces
- Ride Wellington's famous red cable car from the central business district up through the terraced houses of Kelburn and the Botanic Garden
- See the Otari Native Botanic Garden and Wilton's Bush Reserve, dedicated to the protection of native plants
- On Sundays take a stroll through Wellington's oldest and most popular waterfront market, the Harbourside Market
- Take the inter-island ferry through the spectacular Marlborough Sounds and across to Picton in the South Island
This interesting capital city is also a gateway to some equally interesting and beautiful areas in the south end of the North Island.
Wellington city
Te Aro
Alongside the famous Te Papa museum, Te Aro is the heart of Wellington's theatre district and offers numerous bars, theatres and cinemas.
Just minutes from downtown Wellington, Karori is a pretty suburb surrounded by bush and home to New Zealand's eco-sanctuary Zoolandia.
Visit cosmopolitan Newtown and find Wellington Zoo and Government House. If you're there in March, the annual street fair offers a festival of diverse stalls and ethnic food in the suburb's main street.
Island Bay
For a taste of the coast for a day, make your way to Island Bay and walk the City to Sea Walkway or visit the Island Bay Marine Education Centre.
Catch a ferry to Eastbourne on the eastern shore of Wellington Harbour. Have a swim, grab an ice cream, or just get comfortable on the beach at Days Bay.
Around Wellington
20 minutes north of Wellington is the peaceful city of Porirura and its native forests surrounds.
Stop into PATAKA Art + Museum, or for some different history try the New Zealand Police Museum. Or, just enjoy the many beautiful walks and cycleways in the area.
Hutt Valley
A short drive from Wellington to the northern side of Wellington Harbour, you'll find the Hutt Valley and its walking and mountain biking trails.
As well as the 22,000ha Rimutaka Forest Park, Lower Hutt has a collection of art galleries, cafes and restaurants and an ancient history that includes New Zealand's first organised settlement and Maori mythology of taniwha (sea monsters).
Upper Hutt attractions include bush and coastal walks, 4WD tours, golf, mountain biking and fishing.
Kāpiti Coast
One hour north of Wellington, the Kāpiti Coast stretches for 40 kilometres along the south-west coast of the North Island, opposite Kāpiti Island. Kāpiti Island is 5 kilometres from the mainland and is famous for its world-renowned bird sanctuary.
The Kāpiti Coast is also well-known for its finely-crafted gourmet cheeses. It has a quaint village atmosphere and rolling coastal landscape, and regardless of the season it offers visitors a place to escape.
Wairarapa is at the heart of the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail which is made up of the five towns of Martinborough, Featherston, Greytown, Carterton and Masterton.
From the airport
Taxis and Shuttles operate the 8 kilometre trip into Wellington city and beyond. The Airport Flyer express bus service operates daily from Wellington Airport to the Hutt Valley, the centre of Wellington and on to Queensgate in Lower Hutt. Car hire is also available.
In and around the city
It's easy to discover Wellington on foot, but there are plenty of taxis, buses, day tours, trains and ferries to get you around too. Don't forget to ride the red cable car, or there's the Interisland ferry that will take you across to Picton in the South Island.

North Dakota Press Release
Bismarck, ND October 16, 2013
Today North Dakota mineral owners filed ten class action lawsuits in North Dakota state district court against oil companies operating in North Dakota's Bakken oilfield, seeking damages for natural gas flared – or burnt off into the atmosphere – from oil wells in violation of state flaring laws. Copies of the complaints filed are available at www.ndgasflaringlitigation.com
The named plaintiffs and the class members they seek to represent in each case are western North Dakota mineral rights owners who potentially have lost millions of dollars in royalties due to producers' practice of burning off large quantities of gas rather than selling it. The lawsuits seek to force operators to comply with state law and pay royalties to mineral owners on the value of flared gas, and by so doing create a compelling economic incentive for producers to reduce and eliminate the wasteful practice of flaring. Bakken natural gas is some of the most valuable gas in the country due to its density of natural gas liquids (NGLs).
Flaring of natural gas from North Dakota oil wells is a controversial practice that has more than doubled in volume in the last two years, according to recent reports. NASA photos of flaring in North Dakota oilfields taken from space resemble a large urban area rivaling Minneapolis-St. Paul and Chicago in size. The North Dakota Industrial Commission, which regulates the state's oil and gas industry, is working hard to regulate the recent Bakken shale oil and gas boom and with public support is looking for ways to reduce wasteful wholesale flaring of valuable gas.

Rather than a Tele? Seriously? A couple of years back, we received some scathing correspondence from one aggrieved entrepreneur who couldn't believe Chan Marshall refused to autograph some cheap-as-fuck Charvel Jackson monstrosity he'd planned to flip on eBay. A cursory glance at this crank's eBay listings revealed all sorts of aberrant auctions, including a Gary Numan autographed acoustic guitar. With all due respect to Mr. Numan, he's not exactly Bert Jansch.
Anyhow, it was that exchange that came to mind when I saw the auction above earlier today. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has an unusually impressive c.v. ; offspring of Miss Lillian, brother to beer magnate Billy, Nobel Peace Prize winner, his tireless work for Habitat For Humanity, inspiration for one of the great pop recordings of the last century, etc…..but playing the guitar was not high on the list. When can we look forward to an auction featuring an Obama-inked B.C. Rich Warlock?

If you were ever going to approach Davey Lopes with a question about something, be ready. Actually, there are a couple reasons for the heightened level of alertness, the first one has to do with Lopes himself.
See, Davey Lopes isn't at the ballpark to hang out and shoot the breeze, so if he deems what you are asking him idle chatter or small talk, he wants nothing to do with it. He might even size you up to see if you are going to waste his time and then he'll act accordingly.
But if what you have to offer is something Lopes thinks is an interesting topic, get ready because he'll fill up your notebook and/or recorder. Lopes loves baseball and he enjoys talking about it in-depth just as much. That makes sense figuring that he has given his life to the game, first as a great player (mostly) for the Dodgers and then as a coach and a manager for the Milwaukee Brewers. Lopes' passion for the game has an intensity that even the most ardent of the baseball lifers do not possess.
Mostly that gruff exterior is just for show and some of the players love to get the now-former Phillies' first-base coach worked up over something. A great example of this would be to bring up the pivotal game in the 1977 NLCS known in these parts as "Black Friday."
"Black Friday," for those who were not around for the 1977 NLCS between the Dodgers and the Phillies, or for those historically challenged on baseball lore, remembers the game as the one where the Phillies missed their best chance to get to the World Series to date. If you thought watching the Phillies lose to the Giants in the 2010 NLCS was difficult, the '77 NLCS would cause lesser souls to swear off baseball forever. Indeed, it was that difficult to see unfold.
The game in question was where Greg Luzinski famously misplayed a fly ball against the wall at the Vet during a stage in the game where he had been subbed out in favor of the better defender, Jerry Martin. It's kind of like the Philadelphia version of Bill Buckner in that a move that is made in most circumstances was ignored for some inexplicable reason. For instance, manager Danny Ozark put Martin in for Luzinski the way Red Sox manager John McNamara replaced Buckner for Dave Stapleton. Only when he decided not to make the routine move for whatever reason is exactly the time everything will go wrong.
But that's not all there was to "Black Friday." It is also the game where shortstop Larry Bowa made that terrific play to make a throw to first in attempt to nail Lopes on a ball that caromed off third baseman Mike Schmidt. Only first-base ump Bruce Froemming called Lopes safe at first, which paved the way for more miscues as the Phillies blew a two-run lead with two outs in the ninth.
It also opened the door for Lopes and the Dodgers to knock the Phillies out of the playoffs and march on to the World Series and a date with the Yankees.
Nevertheless, when Bowa returned with the Dodgers for the 2008 NLCS—the team's first meeting in the playoffs since the 1978 NLCS—both protagonists, then on different sides, were marched into the interview room for a formal chat. This is where the normally prickly Bowa played the part of the nice guy in reliving a memorable moment in Phillies' history.
"They were good series," Bowa said, clad in his Dodger uniform and that traditional "LA" cap, during the media conference. "We grew up playing them in the Coast League—they were in Spokane and we were in Eugene, Oregon. We had a rivalry going then. They seemed to get the best of us in those games.
"We always made a mistake late. It cost us, but they're very competitive. You remember when Burt Hooton was pitching and the crowd got into it, he couldn't throw a strike. Then the rain game with Tommy John. The play in left field where Bull (Greg Luzinski) was still in the game and Jerry Martin had been replacing him and he wasn't in and it led to a run.
"Davey Lopes. I know Davey says, 'Let it go.' But he was out. He knows he was out and he can go look at that all day. A hundred thousand times he was out. But those were good games. They were good games and they seemed to bring out the best in us. I think Garry Maddox dropped a ball which he never dropped. It was just one of those things."
Lopes, dressed in his Phillies home whites, followed Bowa and put an end to the Philly hand-wringing over the never-forgotten defeat.
"It was 31 years ago. Quit crying and move on," Lopes said.
Certainly Lopes had a fantastic seat for a lot of great moments in baseball history. He was, of course, at second base the night Hank Aaron hit home run No.715 to break Babe Ruth's all-time record and was the first person to reach out and shake the hand of the new home run king. Actually, it was a prideful moment for Lopes, who as a man with Cape Verdean descent, was often caught in between two worlds growing up in Providence, R.I. Lopes is not African-American, but is a person of color coming from a small island off the western coast of Africa. As such, he took even more pride in playing the same position for the same team that Jackie Robinson and Junior Gilliam once played.
Howard Bryant, in his new biography about Hank Aaron, recounts a conversation he had with Lopes about why he shook Aaron's hand after the historic homer.
"I remember when I first came up. We'd be in spring training and Junior would tell me to come with him. I'd say, 'Where we going?' and he would just tell me to come on. We'd be in St. Petersburg and he'd point out the majestic hotels. He'd say, 'That's where the Dodgers used to stay,' and I was in awe. Then we'd go farther into a neighborhood and he'd show me some average-looking house and say, 'And that's where we had to stay.' And it blew my mind, because it wasn't long ago. I thought about those things, about where we'd come as people of color, and that's why I shook Henry Aaron's hand. It felt like something I had to do."
It was never as easy as just focusing on baseball, either. Lopes missed time at the beginning of the 2008 season after undergoing surgery for prostate cancer that was discovered during a preseason, routine physical. Then, in April, three days before the Phillies' season opener in 2010, Lopes' brother, Michael, died in a house fire in Rhode Island.
He says those events did not figure into his decision to turn down an offer from the Phillies, though. Baseball, after all, is Lopes' life. He just turns 66 in May and doesn't plan on giving up baseball just because the Phillies didn't make him a proper offer.
Lopes played in the World Series in 1974, 1977 and 1978 before finally winning it all in 1981. Later he got to the playoffs with the Cubs as a teammate with Bowa in 1984 and again with the Astros in 1986 where he was teammates with Larry Andersen and Charley Kerfeld. It was in the '77 World Series where Lopes stood at second base when Reggie Jackson belted three homers in Game 6 to tie Babe Ruth's record and clinch the Yankees' victory.
In 1978, Lopes hit three homers, including two in the Game 1 victory, before the Dodgers fell again to the Yanks. Finally, Lopes and the famous Dodgers' infield of Steve Garvey, Bill Russell and Ron Cey, beat the Yankees in 1981. Lopes contributed to the Dodgers' World Series victory with four stolen bases against the Yanks, which was his forte.
Better yet, stealing bases and teaching others how to steal bases will be Lopes' legacy. In 16 seasons in the majors, Lopes swiped 557 bases and led the league twice. In 1975 Lopes set the record with 38 straight successful stolen bases and led the league with 77 steals. In 1985 when Lopes was 40 he stole 47 bases and followed that up with 25 when he was 41. Not even Rickey Henderson stole as many bases as Lopes at that age. Then again, Lopes had a knack for doing things at an older age than most. He made his major league debut when he was 27 and after his 34th birthday he was as good as any second baseman ever to play aside from Joe Morgan, Eddie Collins or Napoleon Lajoie.
But it wasn't so much about the amount of stolen bases Lopes racked up as it was his ability to steal bases and not get caught. When he swiped 77 bags in '75 he was caught just 12 times and that number dipped to 10 times caught in '76 when he got 63 stolen bases. When Lopes stole 47 when he was 40, he got caught just four times.
Lopes' 83 percent success rate dwarfs that of Henderson (81 percent) and Lou Brock (75 percent). Ty Cobb's stolen base rate is incomplete, but even from what information that is available, Lopes is better than him, too.
So with Lopes coaching at first base with a stop watch in his right hand and his eagle eyes watching every move, spasm and twinge by the pitcher, it's no wonder that the Phillies led the league in stolen base percentage in four straight seasons. In fact, the 87.9 percent rate the team posted in 2007 is still a big-league record.
Want to get Davey talking? Ask him about statistics and stolen bases. Though the art of the stolen base is not popular in some sabermetric neighborhoods, Lopes says stealing bases is the best bet in baseball.
"The Red Sox are a team that uses the computer as well as any team, but Jacoby Ellsbury adds another dimension to them. You utilize that and it changes a philosophy," Lopes said during a discussion about stealing bases in May of 2009. "Dave Roberts probably had as much to do with them winning the World Series [in 2004] and what did he do? He stole a base at the right opportunity. But when you think about the Red Sox you think about them banging the ball out of the ballpark."
Besides, Lopes said, stealing a base is less of a risk than sending a hitter to the plate. Even the worst base stealers are a better bet than the best hitters, he says.
"If you do a statistical format, if you have a guy on first base in the eighth or ninth inning and he has a success rate of 68 percent, that's still better than any hitter getting a hit," Lopes said. "I don't give a [bleep] who it is, he's still not hitting .700. He has a better chance of stealing a base than the best hitter has to get a hit."
When he came aboard after the 2006 season, Charlie Manuel pretty much turned the running game over to Lopes keeping only the power to put up a stop sign whenever he wanted. Nevertheless, Lopes' base-running theories pretty much took over unabated and with such an important aspect of the game resting in his hands, Lopes used it to make things happen.
"The running game puts a lot of pressure on teams," Lopes said last. "It causes teams to make mistakes, not only with stealing, but with the aggressiveness in which you play. If you run the bases aggressively, you can capitalize on a mistake if it's made by an infielder or outfielder. If you don't, you can't. It's an after effect—'Oh, I should have ran.' Too late."
Too late appears to be the issue between Lopes and the Phillies, too. Lopes told CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury that he wanted to come back for a fifth season with the team, but negotiations fell apart. Lopes says he wasn't asking for a lot of money, just more than the regular first-base coach who isn't entrusted with so much responsibility to the team's success.
Perhaps general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. and the Phils' brass didn't value those talents too much?
"We just had a difference of opinion on what I felt my worth was," Lopes told Salisbury. "That's all. It was a really tough decision because I loved my time in Philadelphia, I loved working for Charlie Manuel, and I have the utmost respect for everyone in that organization.
"I got more enjoyment out of winning that World Series in 2008 than I did the one I won with the Dodgers as a player. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my time in Philadelphia. I am really going to miss the atmosphere and the passion. The fans were great to me. I went from being a bad guy, a Dodger, to someone they really embraced. I really appreciate that."
Though the announcement came on Monday, a report surfaced out of Los Angeles that the Dodgers could attempt to woo back their old All-Star. Just think of the ways a guy like Lopes could transform the talents of a player like Matt Kemp. Just think what he did for players like Shane Victorino, Jimmy Rollins and Jayson Werth. Hell, big slugger Ryan Howard even swiped eight bases in 2009 and went from just one attempt to 15 attempts since Lopes' arrival.
If Lopes can make a base stealer out of Ryan Howard, what can't he do?
Now think about Lopes doing that for another team in the National League…

Is there a better way of beating the January blues than settling down in front of the TV and enjoying a good mystery drama, cup of cocoa in one hand, pack of digestive biscuits in the other?
Well, if you're settling down in front of Silent Witness (BBC1, Mondays and Tuesdays, 9pm), it turns out there is.
This soapy pathology drama has been a mainstay of the BBC schedules for years now, first featuring Amanda Burton staring mournfully into the distance, now more of an ensemble piece, in which every main actor is contractually obliged to deliver at least one important plot point per episode.
Having only just watched my first episode, I can't for the life of me see why it has managed to hang around for so long.
The murder our Scooby gang of forensic pathologists have to tackle is generally more gruesome than your run-of-the-mill TV cop drama, but the rest of the show is a dull grind through the investigation.
There's a lot of Basil Exposition-type explanations of fingerprints, DNA matching and blunt force trauma, lots of stereotypical straight-talking coppers and mockney street kids, and lots of scenes full of drawn-out drama school emoting.
There's one character – supposedly the head of the crime lab – who does nothing except frown, while any plot twists – this week involving a Strangers on a Train type reciprocal murder – are so well signposted the killer may as well have a neon sign over his head.
It's clunky, plodding drama posing as hi-tech, glossy excitement, and it just doesn't work.
They may as well stick it away in a refrigerated drawer and let us have some closure.
The best thing on TV this week was a half-hour long film full of whimsy, wit and heart-warming moments. Urban Myths (Sky Arts, Thursday, 10pm) was a much-needed winter tonic.
Homeland (Channel 4, Sundays, 9pm) returned with a slow-burning scene-setter of an episode. The only trouble is, how on earth is it going to compete with the US drama unfolding in real life?

If you've ever wondered, "How much would it cost to buy a Panoz roadster that once cosseted the bony posterior of Aerosmith singer/Gap pitchman Steven Tyler?" consider the mystery solved — although $100,000 might seem high.
As CelebrityCars notes, rock goblin Tyler sold his rare Panoz roadster a few years ago, and now the new owner has it sittin' on the dock of eBay. To verify its celebrity lineage, the owner has noted that Tyler autographed the engine cover and owner's manual, and includes this image of Tyler jubilating over a VW New Beetle:
While there were only 220 Panoz roadsters ever built — all powered by Ford V8s — they never captured enthusiast attention in the way an Ariel Atom or Caterham Seven could. Consider that $100,000 would buy two copies with lower miles from this Georgia dealership with enough left over for singing lessons, and $100,000 seems steep — even for the seller, who is "a star in the movie The Secret." Maybe he's just so accustomed to wishing.

Millions of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert fans gathered in Washington D.C. and tuned in from home to the much anticipated "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" that poked fun at politics and media.
The mash-up of comedy, musical performances, and video clips took place at the National Mall in Washington D.C. and was broadcasted live on Comedy Central this afternoon.
"As I look out here today I can see we have over 10 million people. What makes it even better is the color I see, the variety I see," said Stewart in an introduction.
U.S. & World
He added at the conclusion of the three-hour long festival: "We had some really incredible music performances here today...We had what some would classify as comedy as well."
The Roots and John Legend kicked off festivities in song. Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow came together in a duet towards the end, as did Tony Bennett with "America the Beautiful."
Other musical guests included Yusef Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) and Ozzy Osbourne, who competed in a musical battle of "Peace Train" and "Crazy Train" led by the opposite comedic hosts, mocking the political division of the country. This was finally resolved when the O'Jays came up to perform "Love Train."
The two fake news anchors didn't hog all the stand-up comedy on the schedule. Don Novello played his "Saturday Night Live" character Father Guido Sarducci and "Law and Order"'s Sam Waterson read a poem written by faux-conservative Colbert.
"That guy who just couped down your neck, does he have an infection? That restaurant that you went to brunch, did it pass the restaurant inspection," read some lines of the fear-inducing poetry.
Colbert made a grand entrance from below the stage in a vessel labeled "Chile" after hiding in a "Fear Bunker," waving a flag in a patriotic unitard and cape. His many costume changes also included starred pants and a flight jacket.
A reoccuring joke of the afternoon were the medals of "Reasonableness" given out by Stewart. One recipient included Armando Galagarra, a Detroit Tigers baseball player who stayed calm when an umpire made a bad call.
To counter Stewart's awards, Colbert also gave out his own medals of "Unreasonableness," which included hot-tempered New Jersey "Housewife" Theresa Giudice and infamous Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater
Between the fun and games, Stewart made clear that there was an optimistic message to be had at the end of the day, speaking often in metaphors about traffic.
"We know instinctively as a people that if we are able to get out of the darkness and back into the light, we need to keep together. And there will always be darkness," Stewart said, adding, "Sometimes, the light at the end of the tunnel isn't the Promise Land, it is just New Jersey."
Stewart had earlier emphasized that this is not a political rally in an interview with CNN's Larry King on Oct. 20.
"This is for the people that are too busy, that have jobs and lives, and are tired of their reflection in the media as being a divided country and a country that's ideological and conflicted and fighting. This is for those people. Those people are going to come to Washington, D.C., on Oct. 30th."
Stewart also said in the interview that this is not the anti-Glenn Back rally. "What we are doing is we are using the rally format to do the same thing that we do with our shows," he explained.
He also added, "Everybody should just wait and see what it is and make their own decisions."
There were, inevitability, a few snafu's. The audio was never quite loud enough, leaving many chanting refrains of "Turn it up!" and "Louder! Louder!"
"I could hear that Jon Stewart was speaking, but I couldn't understand anything he said," said D.C. resident Katie Leonetti said. "We ended up leaving so we could watch it at a bar."
But overall, the crowd seemed happy to be there.
"It was fantastic," rally-goer Jeff Cook of Houston, Tx., said after the festivities ended. "The pleasure of meeting people, the excitement, it was really great."

Trigger Happy is more than his name -
it's his solution to every problem. Nobody knows from where he came. He just showed up one day in a small village, saving it from a group of terrorizing bandits by blasting gold coins everywhere with his custom-crafted shooters. Similar tales were soon heard from other villages, and his legend quickly grew.

Bill Price
Associate Professor
BFA, Memphis College of Art
MFA, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
Bill Price is a working artist/blacksmith, and full-time assistant professor of Metal Arts and Sculpture at Memphis College of Art. In 2006 he earned a master's degree in Blacksmithing from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and has a BFA from Memphis College of Art. Bill maintains a studio and blacksmith shop, making both functional and sculptural pieces for private and corporate collections. He has shown work extensively, in both juried and invitational exhibitions, throughout the U.S. and abroad.
Bill has been nominated for the 2013 Emmett O'Ryan Award for Artistic Inspiration and two Niche Awards. His work has recently been added to the permanent collections of the Arkansas Art Center in Little Rock and the Kamm Teapot Foundation in Sparta, NC. Most recently, Bill was the recipient of the 2016 NICHE Award in the enameled metals category.
Artist Statement
Bill's sculptural work draws inspiration from natural forms, predominantly birds. Some pieces are purely representational studies, taken from direct field observations, while others are interpretations exploring the posture, gesture, action and linear nature of the avian species.
Steel, sometimes accompanied by limestone, wood and vitreous enamels, is Bill's material of choice. Drawing from his extensive knowledge of traditional blacksmithing techniques he forges and fabricates steel into compositions that exploit and exaggerate the natural lines and volumes of the subject.
Recent research explores the relationship that exists between the hunter and the hunted. Components from discarded firearms are disassembled and integrated into sculptural forms (aka "Gunducks"). These new species exhibit qualities allowing them to defend themselves and even turn the tide of aggression, thus reversing the role of hunter and prey and providing them with a means of defense and even revenge.

The pilot who perished in a horrific helicopter crash in central London on Wednesday (16Jan13) was a stuntman who had worked on dozens of movies and Tv projects.
Peter Barnes, 50, was one of two people who died when the aircraft he was in charge of struck a crane in Vauxhall on the bank of the River Thames and plunged to the ground where it burst into flames.
Barnes boasted a 25-year career as a pilot and was one of the most trusted flyers in Britain, often working on movie sets and transporting celebrity clients.
He worked on helicopter scenes in a number of movies including Die Another Day and Saving Private Ryan, and was involved in the shooting of aerial images broadcast during the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Barnes was also behind the controls of the helicopter used in a recent Tv advert for make-up brand Rimmel, which featured supermodel Kate Moss on top of a building preparing to board a chopper.
The other victim in Wednesday's crash was Matt Wood, a 36-year-old office worker killed by falling debris after the chopper hit the crane. Thirteen others were injured in the tragedy.
Two weeks ahead of Independent Venue Week, Dry Cleaning made 'Britain's Best Small Venue 2015' (NME) the second port of call on their 2020 tour.

U.S. consumer sentiment rose to its highest level in more than four years in early May as Americans remained upbeat about the job market, a survey released on Friday showed.
Reuters reported that separate data earlier in the day showed U.S. producer prices unexpectedly fell in April as energy costs dropped by the most in six months, a sign of easing inflation pressures that could give the Federal Reserve more room to help the economy should growth weaken.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary May reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment improved to 77.8 from 76.4 in April, topping forecasts for a small decline to 76.2.
It was the highest level since January 2008.
Despite the recent slowdown in job growth, nearly twice as many consumers reported hearing about new job gains than said they had heard about recent job losses, the survey said.
Even so, consumers were only slightly more optimistic about declines in the unemployment rate than they were a year ago, with only one in four expecting it to fall in the year ahead.
However, economists polled by the Philadelphia Federal Reserve, expect the U.S. unemployment rate to average 8.1% this year, and to fall to 7.7% next year.
Employers cut back on hiring in April and March after an acceleration at the start of the year. April's unemployment rate eased to 8.1% as more people dropped out of the work force.
In a potential harbinger of increased spending, consumers' buying plans for vehicles and durable goods improved at the beginning of the month, with 65% saying buying conditions were favorable, the highest level in more than a year.
"Households are feeling more comfortable. It's pretty good news for consumer spending," said Gus Faucher, senior macroeconomist at PNC Financial Services in Pittsburgh.

Law enforcement and emergency services agencies can now get a Ford F-150 made to suit their needs. With a special interior and a heavy duty alternator, the Special Service Vehicle (SSV) package can accommodate everything from bulky communications equipment to firearms.
Since keeping the world safe from itself can be a messy job, SSV trucks come with perhaps the most important accessory of all: hose-offable vinyl seats. Police officers, firefighters and park rangers, you know what I'm talking about.
Ford said the SSV upgrade comes at no extra charge to government agencies and fleet customers, and will be available in both extended and crew cab configurations. Customers will have a choice between the 365 hp 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6 and the 360 hp 5.0 liter V8, although we don't know why anyone would take the V8 over the EcoBoost mill. The EcoBoost is a little more powerful, gets slightly better gas mileage and, according to Ford, can tow 1,300 pounds more than its eight-cylinder counterpart.
Buyers can also choose between rear-wheel-drive and 4x4 drivetrains, and select all sorts of other goodies like heavy duty tires and skid plates. But aside from the 220-amp alternator to power bad guy and fire defeating/victim rescuing equipment, and front seats designed to make room for it all, the SSV is still pretty much the same F-150 everyone else has.
That's a good thing. The F-150's long running top seller rating speaks for itself.
