A key element of the "Back to Adam" type of copied genealogy is reliance on genealogies in the Bible. From a genealogical standpoint there is not a religious issue here. Genealogy, as a historical discipline, and as such, is not prepared to comment on whether or not the genealogical accounts in the Bible are "true" because there are no sources on which to base an evaluation. But strictly from the genealogical standpoint, the Biblical genealogies are no more or less useful than any of the other thousands of other surname books lacking sources. I an not questioning any aspect of the validity of the Bible as a religious text and its Divine origins, but in genealogy, lack of sources is lack of sources.
I write about this topic because the phrase "back to Adam" can be considered a cliche for any unsupported genealogical pedigree. If you copy a pedigree without substantial sources from Ancestry.com or some other online family tree parking program, then your pedigree is no more and no less as valuable as one tracing your ancestry back to Adam. I write about this issue from time to time because it comes up regularly. In fact, there are several pedigrees showing connections back to Adam loaded in the FamilySearch Family Tree although in this regard, I am relying on the accounts of people who have spent the time clicking on the links in that program.
However, if you have made it this far without calling me a heretic, then I can address the real issue with the inclusion of Biblical pedigrees in a current family tree; the lack of any reliable or substantial proof of connection departing from the Biblical account to a reliably documented historical figure subsequent to that account. In short, after you reach the end or most recent Biblical figures, there are no records or source establishing descent from the Biblical lines. This approach avoids any doctrinal disputes as to the validity or truth, per se, of the Bible and focuses instead on the lines of descent from Biblical individuals.
Because of the religious overtones to any discussion involving these genealogies show lines going "back to Adam," many of the online discussion of this topic verge on hysteria. For that reason alone, I do not look to online sources such as Wikipedia for any support in discussing this issue. So, are there any scholarly treatises on these early genealogies? Has anyone ever taking this issue seriously? It turns out that the answer to that question is much harder than one would suppose.
Rather than start with the Biblical account, the real issue for genealogists is how far back in time can any genealogy be reliably established? That question really depends on the culture of your ancestors and records they kept. There are reliable genealogies that go back thousands of years but they do not exist in Western European countries.
If you are really interested in finding out about this subject, then there a good starting point in an article summarizing the work that has been done and the limitations of the research called, Medieval British Isles Families by Gary T. Horlacher for ProGenealogists. If you find a pedigree that extends beyond 1550 AD start taking classes in Old Latin and reading ancient manuscripts before you talk to me about it. Oh, and it will also help to learn how to read Old German and Old English.

Pentagon Sport necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 70 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
PENTAGON SPORT (but for purposes of clarity we would consider losing the Sport part of our name)
Pentagon Sport is a smallish company (30 staff) which designs, supplies then installs playground equipment. Pentagon Sport has been running 12 years. We have completed some 3000+ installations within schools and nurseries. These represent 80% of our work. The other 20% are playgrounds within the private sector and/or within Govt sector.
You can find full details of all our products on our website http://www.pentagonsport.co.uk The website contains testimonials from customers and a couple of case studies as well as many photographs of completed jobs FYI
Our existing market is schools & nurseries, so in this instance we are communicating with decision-makers in schools. Mostly this is the Head Teacher (majority are women, academics, 45+) or the school Business Manager/Bursar. Head Teachers have an understanding of play and its value in the curriculum. More and more, teachers are being urged to take learning outside the traditional classroom environment and the value of outdoors play is really being promoted too.
New markets we may consider in future are Caravan Parks & Camp sites, Golf Clubs
Recognizable & clear Corporate Identity: new logo & new strapline.
Currently: our logo doesn't say what we do. We have a bizarre mirrored Pentagon shape inside a circle, inside another circle. Our current strapline relates to the Play industry through the word 'playing' but we could be "playing our part" in any random industry…! Our name stems from the early days when our directors started out selling surfacing to 5-a-side clubs (hence the Pentagon – 5- & Sport).
Requirement: a modern logo, which relates to children's play and development, in whatever context. This logo needs to be meaningful in multiple industries. The logo and strapline need to be self-explanatory. We would consider losing the Sport part of our name as we understand it can confuse our audience.
We need to portray ourselves as understanding Play – its need and value, working within the Learning Goals which children are assessed by on a daily basis.
Please do not use clipart or stock images.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Burger King Challenges McDonald's McRib
(NEW YORK) -- Burger King has thrown down the gauntlet in the fast-food wars, announcing a competitor to the McRib sandwich beloved by McDonald's customers.
The 59-year-old Burger King chain's 2013 summer menu, unveiled Wednesday, includes the new BBQ Rib sandwich, featuring a boneless rib patty, just like the McRib.
The BBQ Rib sandwich will also be topped with a "sweet and tangy BBQ Sauce, crispy bread and butter pickles, all on a warm toasted artisan style bun," according to information provided to ABC News by the company, which declined to comment further.
The McRib is a 500-calorie rib sandwich with barbecue sauce, pickles and onions.
Also like the McRib, whose return to the McDonald's menu is a headline-making affair with its own Twitter handle, the BBQ Rib will be available only temporarily, in this case beginning May 21 and lasting through the summer.
"McDonald's continues to focus on our business and on our customers," a McDonald's spokeswoman told ABC News. "At this time I do not have any information on the McRib."
Burger King's new BBQ Rib sandwich, priced at $3.49, is the latest attempt by the Miami-based fast food chain to revamp its menu to compete with longtime competitors, such as McDonald's and Wendy's, and new faces on the market, such as Panera and even Starbucks.
In March, Burger King added a limited-time turkey burger to its lineup, along with a veggie burger, bacon-stuffed cheddar beef burger, chipotle chicken sandwich and wrap, and a chipotle whopper.
"Our guests have grown to look for a variety of options," Eric Hirschhorn, Burger King's vice president of global innovation, told USA Today in announcing the BBQ Rib Sandwich. "It's not just about beef anymore but other proteins like chicken and turkey and pork."
Burger King's new summer menu includes not just the BBQ Rib sandwich, but 12 other new menu items, including a Memphis Pulled Pork sandwich, Carolina BBQ Whopper, sweet potato fries, a new BBQ Chicken Salad and new desserts inspired by Oreo cookies.

Student or Learner
I think I am pretty good at understanding English considering it is not my native language. But there are a lot of phrases (and idioms?) that I am not familiar with in this poem, so I am having trouble understanding the meaning of it:
What is a "star struck death"? And a "gold disease"? What does it mean that a "promise gives way" to these things? Also, I thought a "hollywood end" was a kind of sappy, unrealistically happy ending to a story, but it doesn't really sound like it is here, since he was "a once great man who found death on his knees" (nothing happy about dying). What does he mean with a "hollywood end" here?
Eagles Become Vultures
in new day dreams a promise gives way
to a star struck death and a gold disease
a hollywood end for a once great man
who found death on his knees
cashed in
crashed and burned
our eagles become our vultures
I have a hunch from looking at the title that the gist of the poem is something good turning into something bad... but I would love to get some help in understanding its contents better! How would the English experts on this forum interpret this poem?
I don't think it's meant to be understood intellectually. Use your heart, not your head.
Here are the idioms I think the poem is referencing:
daydream - thoughts imagined while resting during the day, usually behind closed eyes but not before sleeping. Thus, one's hopes, desires, and plans.
star-struck - "Star" means "famous person." "Star-struck" = being bewildered when meeting someone famous or whom one respects.
Hollywood - a proverbial place of fiction and deception. Actors are notorious for "partying hard:" wasting their lives with sex and drugs and short-sighted pleasure in general.
on one's knees - a posture of complete weakness and respect. How one begs for help from someone. Also, how one vomits into a toilet. This idiom has both religious and vulgar connotations at the same time.
cash in - at a casino, to exchange chips for money. Thus figuratively: to quit some activity and go home. To die.
crash and burn - to be consumed by addiction to something, like drugs.
So I see it as a word-painting of someone who had great hopes but fell into destructive addictions.

Luna takes the place of Friday's emergency starter David Purcey, who is anxiously awaiting the opportunity to return to AAA where he can get the fuck away from Jayson Werth and pitch to minor league calibre hitters again. God speed.
(And incidentally, the fact that Jesse Litsch had to come mop up after Purcey kinda defeats the purpose of having brought him up in the first place...but we're sure it will all be fine in the end. Right?)
Scrappy Doo Eckstein will come off the DL and be back with the team on Thursday, so Luna's stay will be brief.
How Greene is my middle infield?
Speaking of infielders, we've been letting Jeff Blair's notion of Khalil Greene coming to the Jays stew in our noggin for a few days now, and we're now convinced that this would be the Single Greatest Player Personnel Move in the History of the Blue Jays. (Okay, that might be hyperbole, but we like to get the strongest opinion possible out there first, if only to stake out the territory for ourselves.)
Don't be deceived by the appearances. Sure, Greene pretty much sucks ass this year. We're not even clear how it is possible to have a sub .600 OPS, but he's managed to pull it off. Nevertheless, he managed 27 homers and 97 RsBI last year, playing half of his games in the cavernous neverland that is PetCo Park. Even if for the season Greene regresses back to his mean (15 homers in each of his last three years), he'll still be a far more productive hitter than Scrappy Doo. Moreover, he is a better defender than Eckstein, and he tends to heat up in July and August.
If the Pads are looking to hold a yard sale, then we sincerely hope that J.P. will be like our crazy aunt: get there at the crack of dawn carrying only a change purse and the negotiating skills of a third-world dictator.
The Tao's Interleague Intern in Philly
Having received many generous offers from readers this week willing to act as interns after our plaintive call for help, we took up one particular reader on his offer to send us missives from his road trip to Philly this weekend. The first reports back from the field were filed at about 4 am, and speak to the level of depraved individual to which our blog proudly appeals:
"went to a titty bar, byob, and full nude, saw not a single jays fan, but it was cold and rainy and we got our asses kicked. didn't wear my jays gear, because not sure if the titty bar would allow hats and jerseys.....Go forth and do us proud, young taoist.
pussy good here, philies fans not so much. Got my 93 hat to show off and a modern hat too. fuck them mother fuckers, 1993 was a glorious year. JOE CARTER
will report later when I actually go to a game tomorrow........"

Health Conscious Diners Can Now Find Flavorful Choices On The Menu
TORONTO, January 6, 2011 – Diners with specific dietary requests often have to forfeit flavor and choice for their health, but not at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. As of January 1, 2011, the luxury hotel brand now offers Lifestyle Cuisine Plus, a new menu available upon request catering to guests with specific diet-dependent conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and gluten free, as well as unique dietary preferences including, macrobiotic, raw and vegan diets.
Fairmont chefs have been trained to prepare a vast array of special dietary and allergy-specific meals and are equipped with Nutritionist Pro™ by Axxya Systems (www.axxya.com), cutting-edge recipe analysis software to help customize entrees and menus to fit with guests' requests for caloric and nutritional requirements. Utilizing nutrient-rich ingredients, clean cooking methods and local food products, diners at Fairmont, whether in a restaurant, bar, banquet or in- room, can be sure dishes are wholesome, balanced and full of taste.
A typical Fairmont Lifestyle Cuisine Plus menu includes a selection of appetizers, entrees and desserts to address diabetes, heart healthy, vegan, raw, macrobiotic and gluten-free diets and will contribute to guests' well-being, vitality and energy. Guests with specific food allergies and sensitivities are invited to have a direct conversation with the chef in order to plan their food options during their stay.
While the same nutritional parameters guide Fairmont chefs across the globe, actual menu offerings reflect the distinctive style and unique food products of each destination. A sampling includes Baked Tofu with Bean Noodles (gluten free – Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa); Arame with Sunflower Seeds, Chives and Mustard (macrobiotic – Fairmont Beijing); Zucchini, Carrot, Portobello and Cashew Butter Pave (raw – Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club); Cornish Crab Cake and Marinated Cucumber & Grapefruit Salad with Homemade Aioli (gluten free - Fairmont Bab Al Bahr); Chilled Pea Soup with Tomato and Key West Shrimp (DASH and heart healthy - Fairmont Turnberry Isle); Free Range Chicken with Quinoa (DASH and heart healthy - Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle); and Chocolate Ganache Flan (vegan - Fairmont Hotel Vancouver).
Fairmont Lifestyle Cuisine Plus is an extension of Fairmont Lifestyle Cuisine, which is targeted to the most common dietary requests found among guests, such as low-fat, vegetarian and low-carbohydrate concerns. Complementing the new menus are Lifestyle beverages, offering five new varieties of Fairmont wellness teas, juices, shakes and more to quench thirst.
With the advancing age of the baby boomer generation and their keen interest in health, the increasing prevalence of illness and disease associated with high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, and the growing trend towards clean and green, guests are more concerned with healthy eating choices than ever before. Fairmont asks, "Why stop eating well just because you're on the road?"
And health and wellness does not stop at the kitchen. Guests seeking a sanctuary to relax, have fun and find renewed energy need look no further than Willow Stream and Fairmont Spas. Travelers can also enjoy a variety of activities in every season – golf, skiing, hiking, boating and myriad other experiences to stay healthy and invigorated.
Guests can enjoy these flavors in their own homes too, by visiting www.everyonesanoriginal.com, for original recipes for appetizers, entrees, desserts and beverages from the Lifestyle Cuisine and Lifestyle Cuisine Plus menus. A mix of customer-generated media and non-traditional Fairmont content, the online site is a virtual gathering place where fans of the brand can post photos or videos from a memorable trip, participate in exclusive polls and contests, access exclusive hotel and destination content, and of course find recipes from across the Fairmont collection.
Note to editors: Lifestyle Cuisine Plus menus, recipes and photos are available on request.

Racism is ugly, no matter who is spewing it. But there does seem to be a double standard when it comes to public outrage on the subject.
It was less than a week after LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling's racist comments to his girlfriend in a private conversation became public that he was banned for life from NBA games and venues, fined $2.5 million, and on the verge of being forced to sell his team. But when a Democratic congressman engages in racist, public name-calling of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the reaction is muted at best.
First, let's be clear: What Sterling did was offensive and hurtful, and the man is clearly a repulsive character. But what was most shocking about the incident was how quickly the NBA moved to punish Sterling for uttering his prejudices in a private conversation, when the league earlier had ignored that Sterling engaged in actual illegal housing discrimination. In 2009, Sterling settled a suit with the Department of Justice, paying a nearly $3 million fine, the largest in history for federal housing discrimination.
The precedent seems a dangerous one to me, not to mention hypocritical. However toxic Sterling's views — and they are — is it worse to reveal prejudiced sentiments to an intimate partner than it is to refuse to rent to individuals on the basis of the color of their skin? And what about forcing black and Hispanic tenants to live in dangerous, unsanitary buildings by refusing to make necessary repairs? But the NBA treated the former as a hanging offense and turned a blind eye to Sterling's egregious flouting of federal law.
But if the NBA is guilty of hypocrisy, what about the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP, which awarded Sterling its Humanitarian Award in 2008 and its President's Award in 2009 — despite Sterling's record of housing discrimination? That raises the double standard at play in another ugly example of racial prejudice.
Last week, Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. Bennie Thompson hurled a racial epithet at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on the radio, but his comments barely raised an eyebrow. Apparently a member of Congress calling Thomas an "Uncle Tom" — and doing so on a program sponsored by the New Nation of Islam, no less — is acceptable. And Thompson didn't leave it at that. When asked about his comments in an interview on CNN, Thompson doubled down, telling reporter Dana Bash that it's OK for him to use the term because he's black. Yet no one is suggesting that his colleagues reprimand Thompson for his clearly racist remarks.
Directing racial slurs at blacks if they happen to be conservative has no consequences. No one gets ostracized. Apologies don't follow. And those with exquisite racial sensibilities see no problem in calling Thomas an "Uncle Tom" or depicting Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as a self-proclaimed "house n*gga," as cartoonist Ted Rall did in 2004.
The selective outrage is troubling. If a private organization decides it wants to exclude a racist from its midst, that is its right. But wouldn't it be good if we condemned racism in all its forms?
Arguably, we ought to hold members of Congress to higher standards than we do private individuals. When former GOP Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott praised his colleague Sen. Strom Thurmond's presidential candidacy on a pro-segregationist ticket, he was forced to resign his leadership post in 2002 — as I believed he should do and stated so at the time. Thompson should be held to the same standard. The congressman — like Sterling — can say what he wants, but his colleagues should shun him.
If we're serious about abhorring racism, let's at least be consistent. Selective outrage undermines the legitimacy of our sentiments.

Story highlights
- Ruben Navarrette Jr.: San Antonio mayor among most prominent Latino officals
- He says Julian Castro struggles with controversy over planned mural showing sleeping Mexican
- Navarrette says Castro sees mural image as historic, not currently resonant
- Navarrette: Image is offensive, but it's time to let this one go in today's booming San Antonio
Julian Castro is not cooperating. The mayor of San Antonio knows full well what I want to talk about, and yet he is determined to change the subject to what he believes is a much more pressing story. Where I want to drag him, my friend refuses to go.
First, you might be asking what the mayor of America's seventh-largest city is doing in the second-largest city. He's in town on business, and I've come up from my home north of San Diego to have lunch with him. But Castro is not out of place here: He went to college up the highway at Stanford University, and he has plenty of friends and supporters in Southern California.
Besides, as one of the most prominent Latino elected officials in the country, he is a national figure. In fact, now that the Texas Democrat has been named one of 30 national co-chairmen for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, we can expect to see him dispatched often over the next several months to some of the most heavily Latino cities in California.
For the 37-year-old, life is about hustling and constantly being in motion. As if to prove it, Castro has run the Rock 'n' Roll half marathon (13.1 miles) each time the race has come to San Antonio.
So how ironic that what we are talking about is a proposed artistic re-creation in his city that would depict, among other things, a Mexican sleeping against a wall.
Oh, him again. That popular and yet offensive image: a Mexican in a big sombrero asleep against a wall or, more often, under a cactus. He's the Mexican-American community's Charlie Chan, our cigar store Indian, our black Sambo.
He personifies and perpetuates the wrongheaded idea that the reason Mexico lost half its territory in the land grab known as the U.S.-Mexican War and the reason that Mexican-Americans have been mistreated and discriminated against in the century and a half since then is, well, because they were inattentive, passive, asleep.
In San Antonio, city officials have launched a project to re-create the historic marquee of an iconic drive-in movie theater. The problem is that the marquee in question, installed in the late 1940s, depicted the images of a Mexican in a sombrero asleep against a wall and another Mexican with a burro.
Right. We can't forget the burro.
Local activists are not amused, calling the images demeaning and racist. They're demanding that the proposed re-creation leave out the offensive images. Apparently, people in San Antonio have a lot to say about this controversy. You know who hasn't said anything publicly? Julian Castro.
As a Mexican-American, Castro is much more interested in painting a picture of San Antonio as a city that never sleeps. There ought to be a picture of him in the dictionary next to the word "positive." He's no one's victim. And that's probably one reason that The New York Times has referred to him as "the post-Hispanic Hispanic politician."
For the most part I admire that about him, but I also understand why non-Hispanics fancy the idea that a prominent Hispanic official isn't peddling victimhood. It's because many of them must realize that, these days, Hispanics are being victimized. If our leaders start beating that drum, there's no telling what could happen.
At first, when we sat down, Castro resisted saying anything about the controversy over the sleeping Mexican. Then he relented.
"I certainly understand the hurt feelings," he said. "Because it speaks to the negative perception of the Latino community as lazy and unambitious that has hampered it through the years. But, at the same time, we have a majority-Latino city that was just ranked as the top-performing city last year, we have more and more college graduates every day reaching their dreams, so I'm going to spend my time on the positive."
That positive includes the Milken Institute's 2011 ranking of San Antonio as No. 1 out of 200 metropolitan areas in terms of performance, in terms of "creating and sustaining jobs and economic growth." And plans for a $150 million performance arts there center are off the ground. There is a $600 million bond measure coming before voters. And the city's unemployment rate is 6.9% -- compared with the statewide rate of 7.3% and the national figure of 8.3%.
Still, I couldn't get the sleeping Mexican off my mind. I asked Castro if these recurring racial battles are important or merely a distraction?
"In some people's minds, the community is still limited to that perception," he said. "To the degree that addressing it helps us heal, then it's important."
He added: "What's interesting about this issue is that they wanted to preserve something that historically had been there. ... It's historic preservation vs. cultural sensitivity. If you go full historical preservation, you're going to do it warts and all. You have to balance it. More than anything, you just feel unfortunate that you're in the pit to begin with."
So I said, "You're like, 'I don't want to feed this controversy. ...' "
Castro interrupted: "But I understand it. I respect it. I agree that I don't like that image. I understand how it makes people feel, especially for the older generation. It's a sense of, 'Oh man, here we go again.' When there is a perceived slight, they're more attuned it. They catch it."
To hear him describe it, the proposed re-creation depicts a sleeping Mexican all right, but not as the centerpiece of the marquee. It's just off to the side. The more I think about it, the more I decide this whole controversy is a whole lot of nothing. So, I ask, why is there a problem?
"It's symbolic," Castro said. "It's symbolic of how the Latino community has been perceived. There's a frustration there that we haven't moved beyond that. But I will also say that it's frustrating because we don't see Latinos projected in the media positively. So you feel like: 'Well, if you had all this great press and people who have become astronauts and done other great things regularly in the news ... then there wouldn't be a problem.' If there was a balance, I don't think it would strike people so negatively and we could move on."
This is a wake-up call. Let's put to rest the protests over this image. It's offensive, but it doesn't sting. Not anymore. We know the truth. Time to move on.

Karl Marx was a German philosopher, political economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, communist, and revolutionary whose ideas are credited as the foundation of modern communism. Marx summarized his approach in the first line of chapter one of The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." He believed that the roots of human misery lay in class conflict, the exploitation of workers by those who own the means of production. Social change, in the form of the overthrow of the capitalists by the workers (proletariat), was inevitable from Marx's outlook. Although Marx did not consider himself as a sociologist, his ideas have influenced many sociologists today, especially conflict theorists.
"Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks." - Karl Marx

A German political philosopher who wrote the Manifesto of the Communist Party (Communist manifesto), Das Kapital, and was the editor in chief of the liberal newspaper "Neue Rheinische Zeitung". Is the father of modern communism and has a tight grave in england that some idiots tried to blow up with a pipe bomb in 1970.
In works such as Das Kapital and 11th Thesis on Feuerbach, Karl Marx stated that "greed will be the death of capitalism" because the wages of an average working class man was not enough to be put back into the capitalist system. When later capitalist economists read Marx's writings, the concept of consumerism was born. In this system, a factory worker will be paid enough to purchase a product that his factory made. This purchase allows a manager to extract surplus value from their workers by selling them a product for more than they were paid to make it. Repeat this process for millions of workers, and you have a consumer society. In this way Marx defined modern economics over 150 years ago, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Karl Marx was a pretty smart guy, a heavy drinker and smoker, and a lover, too. Aparently a very good father. A scientist who found a scientific basis for socialism, the first step of a type of society called communism, and the first step after capitalism. The father of historical materialism. Always hated people who spoke of a socialism but not including communism, which would automatically follow up after socialism. His picture was pretty much destroyed by people like Stalin, castro, Mao and several socialists.
Karl Marx realized that most people who starve aren't lazy. And that there's something wrong with that. After that, he found out that sience is on his side, too.

Chap who lived back in the nineteenth century. Grew a big beard, in which he invested quite a lot. Had a good head for mathematics and wrote a lot about property and political evolution. A bit boring, not always on the money, and misunderstood by airheads and meatheads, as dead white males usually are. He overestimated both human generosity and the idea of membership of the working class as a badge of pride. Someone recently posted that he taught that the lazy should be allowed leech off the hard-working. This actually is a pretty good picture of present-day America, where the lazy keep getting away with it because the hard-working keep voting for them.

A cool guy with a wafro and a Noah beard who invented a supposedly wonderful system called communism. Unfortunately this doesnt work for a couple reasons-
-Dipshits like Stalin tried to seize absolute power within communist nations; which, of course, corrupts absolutely.
-There are too many assholes for communism to work, and large amounts of people don't like to co-operate.

Homicide preceded couple's fatal leap from bridge
NEW YORK — A couple who jumped to their deaths from the George Washington Bridge are believed to have committed a homicide before the leap, authorities said Wednesday.
The alleged homicide was still unknown to authorities about 11:20 a.m. Monday, when workers on the lower level of the bridge — which connects New York to New Jersey — saw something go by them over the side of the iconic structure, said Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Joe Pentangelo.
When workers looked down, the spokesman said, they saw a man and the woman in the water.
The couple floated about 1,000 feet down the Hudson River before New York fire and police responders were able to pull them out at 12:09 p.m., Pentangelo said. After rescue workers administered CPR, the pair was taken to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, where they died one minute apart from each other a short time later.
About 1:15 p.m. Monday, police in the village of Suffern, New York — about 35 miles northwest of the bridge — received a call from a man who said he had just found his uncle dead, Suffern police said in a statement. The medical examiner's office later ruled the death a homicide by asphyxiation.
The victim was identified as William Valenti, 70, who was living at the residence with his niece, Nicki Hunt, 40, who also went by Nikki Circelli, and her boyfriend, Gary Crockett, 41, according to police.
Investigators learned of an ongoing family dispute between Hunt, Crockett and Valenti, police said. Hunt and Crockett had allegedly taken money from Valenti's bank account without his authorization, according to police.
At the homicide scene, officers found a note which they interpreted to mean that the couple may have left the house intent on harming themselves, police said. Valenti's vehicle was missing.
On Monday evening, Suffern police dispatcher Jeremy Kaufer spotted a media story about New York authorities trying to identify the couple who jumped to their deaths from the George Washington Bridge, according to the police statement.
On Tuesday, Suffern detectives traveled to the New York City morgue with members of the New York and Port Authority police departments. A positive identification of Hunt and Crockett was made, police said.
Valenti's vehicle key was located on Hunt, police said.
According to Suffern police, both Hunt and Crockett had prior criminal cases, but the disposition of charges was not known. Hunt had faced grand larceny and forgery accusations, while Crockett had been charged with possession of narcotics, police said.
"The investigation is continuing but at this time we believe that Hunt and Crockett are responsible for the death of William Valenti," the Suffern police statement said.
The George Washington Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River and connecting Manhattan in New York City to Fort Lee, New Jersey.
According to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, 15 people jumped to their deaths from the bridge in 2013. The bridge is about 212 feet above the river at mid-span. There were were 49 successful interventions, where potential jumpers were stopped by police or passers-by.

Nicki Minaj Won't Talk About Mariah, Won't Choose Sides in Election
(NEW YORK) -- Nicki Minaj will be peeling back the layers for Nicki Minaj: My Truth, her trio of E! specials that kick off Sunday at 10:30 p.m ET. Over the course of the shows, Nicki takes viewers inside her world and shows them private aspects of her work and her love life, and even opens up about her future on American Idol.
In an interview with USA Today, Nicki explains, "I'm not trying to have a facade. I'm showing exactly what goes on in my life. I think people will be surprised at seeing that." Nicki's best guess is that people will be surprised by her honesty, but also inspired. Nicki says the reality series is "inspirational for women who feel like they want to push more and get more done."
Nicki admits, though, that doing the series was a challenge. "I'm such a private person, it was a bit hard. When I'm around my circle, I just kind of loosen up," she says. But by the end of the first episode, Nicki says she "didn't care the cameras were on."
When USA Today asked Nicki about her so-called feud with her fellow American Idol judge Mariah Carey, the interview was interrupted by her rep, who said, "Next question, please." However, in a preview of the special, Nicki is seen saying, presumably in regards to Idol, "Ain't nobody gonna run me off that mother-f***ing show."
As for another face-off between two powerful individuals -- the presidential election on Tuesday -- Nicki refuses to take sides. Though she's previously rapped pro-Mitt Romney lyrics and afterward exchanged tweets with President Obama, Nicki tells USA Today that she'd "rather not say" who she's voting for.
"I want my fans to research people and policy, not research their skin color, and think of this election in a broader way," she says, adding, "I'm not a fan of ridiculing people for who they're voting. I'm a fan of being open-minded and everyone voting for whoever they want to vote for."

First Aid Kit for a Backyard Chicken Flock
Your chicken-keeping philosophy will determine how well stocked your backyard flock first aid kit should be. At a minimum, every flock keeper should have a hospital cage in which to assess and isolate a sick or injured chicken, and have the ability to humanely euthanize a hopelessly ill bird. Other items you may find useful in your first aid kit are
A spare heat lamp and bulb (non-shatterproof) or other heat source to warm a chilled bird (especially chicks). Steer clear of clamp-style heat lamps; get the kind you can hang securely from the ceiling.
An electric fan, mister, or other cooling device to cool an overheated chicken.
An antiseptic solution and a 10ml syringe for flushing wounds.
A pair of forceps (tweezers) for examining wounds and picking out debris, and a pair of scissors for removing bandages.
A package of gauze sponges for blotting and cleaning wounds.
A method to stop bleeding, such as blood-stop powder, a styptic pencil, cornstarch, or a tea bag.
A roll of 1-inch wide adhesive cloth bandaging tape, and a roll of 2-inch wide self-cling bandaging tape for dressing injured feet or wings.
A package or bottle of a poultry vitamin and electrolyte preparation to mix with drinking water.
A tube of water-based personal lubricant for dealing with a prolapsed vent or suspected egg-bound bird.
Your veterinarian's phone number.

Looking for a logo for web and some basic print use (letterhead, business cards, etc.). If you would like an idea of what we're all about, visit worksucks . com, though "We think work sucks" sums it up pretty nicely.
It would be nice if the logo coordinates with the site, but I'm more interested in seeing your interpretation of the concept. If you have a cool idea that doesn't really fit the look of the site, go for it. I'm open to just about anything.
My problem is that I can't quite figure out how to make a logo that's fun and yet something I could put on a business card and hand out at a meeting without people wondering "Is this a joke?"
"Work Sucks" "worksucks" or "worksucks . com" are all fine for the text.
So let's see what you guys can come up with. Have fun with it. I will give feedback to every entry as quickly as possible, and I guarantee that there will be a winner - I'm not here to waste your time.
I will end the contest early if there is a clear winner at any time.
