Skip to comments.Michelle Obama Reportedly Behind Ambassador Push For Vogue Editor Anna Wintour
Posted on 12/10/2012 3:39:05 PM PST by drewh
"It's Like Caligula Making His Horse a Senator"
First lady Michelle Obama is reportedly behind the push to award top Obama campaign fundraiser and Vogue editor Anna Wintour with a European ambassadorship specifically to France sources have revealed to The Daily Mail.
A State Department insider told the British paper that Wintour is under consideration for a diplomatic post.
Anna Wintours friends have expressed an interest in making sure that she is nominated to become an ambassador to a major Western European nation, the insider said, according to The Daily Mail. I have had this confirmed from a friend in the political office at the White House. I am also told there is only a slight chance Wintour will end up in London
Paris is her number one choice. I gather Ms Wintour finds the Paris house and grounds particularly spectacular, the insider added
The Daily Mail notes that Wintours infamous reputation as an ice queen with an insatiable need for perfection could present problems in the world of diplomacy.
She presides over the fashion business with the imperial hauteur of a Prussian general and expects instant, unquestioning obedience, The Daily Mail quoted Toby Young, a British journalist and author of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
Its hard to imagine a personality less suited to the world of international diplomacy. She left school at 16 and has been working in fashion ever since. Obamas chauffeur probably knows more about international relations than her. Its like Caligula making his horse a senator.
The British paper credits Wintour with the first ladys transformation early in her husbands first term from awkward lawyer to fashion icon. Vogues March 2009 issue was called the Michelle Obama Edition. The issue placed the first lady on the cover and offered an eight-page interview with her, complete with photos by Annie Leibovitz.
Wintour also reportedly influences Mrs. Obamas wardrobe.
Anna makes Mrs. Obama feel glamorous, an administration source told The Mail.
Since Her Royal Hind-Ass will be our next pressydent, I guess she should pick whomever she wants.
I'd like to know what Manchelle looked like before his/her sex change operation. Someone has a photo somewhere.
Ambassadorships have always been political payoffs.
No big deal here.
Just like Clintoon, Obama appoints people who have no skill or education to do the job. A cabinet and czars that 'look like' America. A little intelligence and experience would go a long way. Wintour is credited with making Moochelle a 'fashion icon'??? I will never forget when Moochelle misbuttoned her cardigan on a visit in London. Wrong buttons in the holes made it skewed. The designer actually covered for her by saying 'that is the way it is supposed to be worn'. If only the two grifters in the WH were EVER held accountable for their words and deeds.........
I actually hope Anna "Nuclear" Wintour IS nominated. Not confirmed, but nominated. Someone like her — accustomed to absolute, fawning, worshipful obedience for decades — will not be able to get through a routine hearing without an obvious spasm of un-"diplomat"-ic temper.
Plus, of course, she likely knows next to nothing about Foggy Bottom or other matters that career diplomats would know. Just that "the grounds" are lovely and that ambassadors get their asses kissed.
I'd laugh but there are four more years of this crap to get through.
Wintour reminds me of the goofy elitist woman in the Hunger Games—did she even have a name?
The role of the bitchy editor played by Merle Streep was modeled on Wintour, I believe.
moochelle and behind in the same sentence. ugh.
"It's Like Caligula Making His Horse a Senator"
Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!
After all, Wintour did make an icon of Moochie's fat butt.
She puts the "ass" in "ambassador".
Payback for the Fashionista's telling us that suddenly big asses and manly arms are chic....
Hence, her nomination.
Born into wealth, never did an honest day's work in their lives, lived in a bubble of fawning fellow wealthy people who share the same progressive opinions, and are never, I mean NEVER challenged by the little people they step over.
Or step on. Like they stepped in dog shit.
Without knowing her politics, I already knew her politics.

And the pic's the real deal. We checked.
Since Benny had the game on TiVo, he went to the 4:09 mark in the 2nd quarter to make sure the picture above was authentic and not Photoshopped. Because that's what we do, folks. We study (closely) the pictures of naked women so you can count on the MZone Seal of Authenticity.
But as Benny even said, if he wasn't looking for it, he totally wouldn't have seen it. He literally had to go slo-mo, frame by frame to catch it as evidenced by this YouTube clip...
Which begs the question -- How the hell did Scott and KL find it to begin with?! Were they studying shots of the SC song girls like some sort of college football Zapruder film? Apparently some folks are watching the games much differently than we are.
Not that we're complaining, mind you.
Easy-I-Couldn't-Resist-Joke: When did Britney Spears become a Song Girl?
UPDATE: Sean at Michigan Sports Center had to go and ruin the only thing I liked about the Rose Bowl: Turns out, he got his hands on an HD picture of the above and the young co-ed in question was wearing skivvies...
Thanks-a-fucking lot, Sean. While you're at it, why don't you just go and tell my 5 year old niece there is no Santa Claus, too.
And if that's what HD TV does -- spit on a man's fantasies - then I'd rather live in an analog world. Damn you, Sean. DAMN YOU!

The Book of Mormon Tickets
If you are a fan of South Park on Comedy Central, then you need to get The Book of Mormon tickets to see Trey Parker and Matt Stone's new hit Broadway musical show. As you would expect from the guys that brought us Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny, The Book of Mormon holds nothing back when it comes to mocking anyone or anything. This is already being called the funniest new Broadway show in years, so don't miss your chance to get The Book of Mormon show tickets.

The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon
When Trey Parker and Matt Stone, best known as the creators of the hit Comedy Central show South Park, announced they were working on a Broadway musical, surely some industry insiders snickered and quickly predicted how epically the show would fail. But after nearly a decade of work, Parker and Stone, along with Robert Lopez, unleashed The Book of Mormon and it quickly became the biggest Broadway hit in recent memory. GoTickets has your Book of Mormon tickets right now.
Since the opening night of The Book of Mormon at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, The Book of Mormon has been sold out for virtually every performance, and now the show is sold out for as much as a year in advance. But GoTickets has sold out Broadway show tickets for any performance you want to see, including Book of Mormon musical tickets for every show. Based on the huge success of the New York City production, a Book of Mormon national tour is set to kick off in Denver and Chicago with many cities to be added in the future. GoTickets is the place to get your Book of Mormon New York tickets, as well as Book of Mormon national tour tickets.
As you might have guessed based on the creators, The Book of Mormon is a bit irreverent, a bit raunchy and hilariously funny. It is also acclaimed for its cast and soundtrack, with the show's album making it all the way up to #3 on the charts. There was a fair amount of skepticism that Parker and Stone could pull off a hit Broadway show, despite their success with South Park, but the critics and audiences have almost universally agreed that The Book of Mormon is a huge hit. There simply is not another Broadway show like The Book of Mormon, so don't miss your chance to see it live and in person. Buy your Book of Mormon show tickets today.

Michigan vs. Iowa Open Thread
38 comments:
- hmbfossil said...
Welcome back Yost, been reading you since late 2006. And thank you to Andy and T9 for continuing a community that lets those of us who cheer for Michigan all the other fall weekends except this one, stop in every once in a while.
Whether it was the "Hayden v. Bo Show" or last year's prime time game, Iowa v. Michigan has provided some pretty entertaining football the last 25 years. Yes, UM holds a huge overall series advantage but looking forward, I think this is going to become a nice rivalry for "our" division. The media will fawn all over Nebraska, but until they establish a little conference history, I say "we were here first!"
This game can go a long way in establishing that rivalry. If Michigan wins... become bowl eligible and throw a wrench in Iowa's Rose Bowl/BCS plans, Iowa wins... a road win against a big name program (even in rebuilding, it's still Meechigan)and continued aggrevation for Michigan fans.
This game all depends on the offensive lines. I am impressed by how big Michigan's line looks on TV. It's no wonder DRob has holes to fly through. If they also have speed, they will keep Iowa's D in check. If Iowa's O-line plays like they did against Arizona, you won't have to worry about Michigan's secondary being tested. Stanzi won't have time to throw that far.
Having said all that, Iowa fans are going through a transformation. They are allowing themselves to have high expectations about Hawkeye Football... and we even say them aloud, which is new for us. So, I expect Iowa to win, but I still suspect that it will be a close, entertaining game.
Iowa 28, Michigan 24
And from this Iowa Band Fossil to the Michigan Band Alums - Happy Homecoming!

Up and ready. Will be dropping the kids off at the pool (haha I mean parents) then on the way to Bob's tailgate. Here's to a great day and better game. M 38 Iowa 17. You heard it here first.

Like the optimism BAH!!! I'm still a bit uneasy. Today will be about momentum. If we score early and often in the 1st and the 3 rd we win.

T9... Hammm and Mikoyan will be at my tailgate today at about 11:00. Stop by to say hello if you are around.
- October 16, 2010 8:03 AM
- Andy said...
Wow, this thread is like old home week for Spawn regulars. Good to hear from you HMB, I had a feeling you would break the silence.
Also, Hammm.... Good to see you.... I am glad you have decided to stick around.
- October 16, 2010 10:33 AM
- Yost said...
Very jealous that you guys are all going to be in A2 today. Wish I was there in person but will be there in spirit.
Glad to have you back, BAH.
Go Blue!
- October 16, 2010 11:06 AM
- Yost said...
And thanks for stopping in, hmb. Unfortunately, I agree w/ your pick for the game. I only hope it's close.
- October 16, 2010 11:07 AM
- Catie said...
HAIL!!!! I feel good about this game. I am in A2, just not at the game festivities :( I do have tickets for the Whisky game though! I miss my season tickets, but I do have to say, it is fun watching it on TV and getting to watch other games. (there is always a silver lining!)

Sweet...just saw that The Rock is going to be on ESPN3 this afternoon...guess I know what I can watch if homecoming goes bad
- October 16, 2010 2:51 PM
- Andy said...
Great start.
Iowa goes three and out.
We drive and score.
- October 16, 2010 3:48 PM
- Andy said...
Iowa leads 14-7.
Our "defense" showed back up after the first two hawkeye drives.
It is going to be a long ugly day.
- October 16, 2010 4:25 PM
- Merrick 561 said...
Blocked FG, and we run away from the ball!?!? WTF, get your heads in the game at least.
It is going to be a looooooooong day
- October 16, 2010 4:36 PM
- Andy said...
Can someone please explain to me why Big Will Campbell is playing guard on the field goal team?
- October 16, 2010 4:38 PM
- Andy said...
21-7 Iowa.
It is hard for me to describe how poor our linebackers play.
- October 16, 2010 4:49 PM
- Andy said...
Halftime. 21-7.
None of this is surprising: Iowa is beating our defense like they are 3rd string high schoolers. RR is screaming at Denard. The crowd is booing. Happy f**king Homecoming.
At this point, I am not sure we beat Purdue or Penn State.
- October 16, 2010 5:02 PM
- Andy said...
Oh yeah, David Molk went down on the first drive and has not returned. Not good.
- October 16, 2010 5:03 PM
- Yost said...
Agree 100%! THAT is ALL coaching! WTF?!?!?
- October 16, 2010 5:05 PM
- Yost said...
Molk's absence is huge. Next to Denard, he's about the last player we can afford to lose.
- October 16, 2010 5:06 PM
- Andy said...
Two important plays in the first half.
1) Jordan Kovacs drops an interception when Iowa is inside the red zone. Iowa scores a few plays later to tie it at seven. If Kovacs makes the pick, he may have scored.
2) facing a third and fourteen, Iowa runs the ball to set up the FG... Except we can't tackle and they gain 15 yards and the first down. The score a few plays later to go up 21-7.
I know our defense is young, but even freshmen should be able to tackle, right?
- October 16, 2010 5:15 PM
- Yost said...
Yeah, that 3 and 14 was atrocious. They run straight up the middle for 15?! Seriously? Like you said, that shouldn't happen no matter what the age of the players.
- October 16, 2010 5:19 PM
- Andy said...
End of 3. 28-7 Iowa.
Denard is hurt. Tate is in. Too bad there is no such thing as a running clock in college football.
- October 16, 2010 5:59 PM
- Andy said...
We score making it 28-14.
And then... Kick the ball out of bounds, get gashed on a couple of backside running plays, face mask penalty, burned on a slant with no safety help.
Iowa leads 35-14
- October 16, 2010 6:14 PM
- Andy said...
Tate with a bomb to Hemmingway for the touchdown. Iowa's defensive back looks like one of ours.
35-21. Hawkeyes still lead.
Time for a Stanzi pick-six.
- October 16, 2010 6:19 PM
- srudoff said...
How does richrod NOT know that you can't decline a false start penalty?
- October 16, 2010 6:23 PM
- Andy said...
Defense makes a stop.
Tate driving them again.
Could this be happening?
- October 16, 2010 6:31 PM
- Andy said...
Sru, I think he was claiming they ran a play.
Tate scores.
It is now a one score ballgame.
- October 16, 2010 6:33 PM
- Andrew said...
I just puked...can someone pass the tums...
GO BLUE..lets pull this out
- October 16, 2010 6:35 PM
- Andy said...
Another kick out of bounds kills the momentum.
- October 16, 2010 6:35 PM
- Merrick 561 said...
If we're going to kick it out of bounds... may as well go for the onsides kick. not much different
- October 16, 2010 6:38 PM
- Andy said...
We need a turnover soooooo bad
- October 16, 2010 6:40 PM
- srudoff said...
- October 16, 2010 6:42 PM
- Andy said...
Iowa coverts on consecutive 3rd downs. They are driving. We continue to lack the basic tackling skills needed to win.
- October 16, 2010 6:44 PM
- Merrick 561 said...
If only we could tackle... We'd have a chance to at least tie this game. Terrible to miss 4 or 5 tackles on a play when you hae them in the backfield, and they end up with the first down
- October 16, 2010 6:46 PM
- Andy said...
Iowa kicks a FG to up by ten. 38-28.
- October 16, 2010 6:47 PM
- Andy said...
Tate throws a pick. 1:54 left. It is over.
- October 16, 2010 6:50 PM
- Yost said...
Yeah, the missed tackles aren't about being young - it's about BASIC FOOTBALL FUNDAMENTALS. Period. You shouldn't have been recruited if you can't make those tackles, those aren't something you need to be a junior or senior to be able to make.
- October 16, 2010 7:01 PM
- MFAN IN Disgrace said...
What a Shame....out coached,.... out played.... the worst effort I have ever seen!!! 2-1/2 years and we still cannot tackle!!! Special Teams a disgrace!!!
Rich Rod folds like a cheap lawn chair under pressure!!!
Greg Robinson's defense in total disarray! Not a Clue!!!!
Take this hillbilly football back where it belongs to the losers in the south!!!!
I have been a Michigan football fan since 1965 (three family graduates) and this is the worst I have ever seen as far as coaching and basic football defense!!!
What a embarrassment on national TV
$3 million a year for this coaching effort!!!! I have been unemployed for 10 months and would not have lasted 2 months in a job less alone 2-1/2 years with a performance like Rich Rod Has Had!!!
Enough is Enough!!!
He will surely empty the stadium like before the BO Days!
Cut your Losses and get rid of HIM Now!!!!
This used to be a TEAM the BIG TEN OPPONENTS FEARED now it just goes down as a win in the preseason analysis!!!
- October 16, 2010 8:15 PM
- Mikoyan said...
Blah. This one feels worse than the loss last week because I feel like Michigan gave the game away. Two kicks out of bounds. A boatload of picks. And the Defense not stopping anything (well they had a few good stops).
Oh well...

I was at the Petco in Gilroy on Friday July 5th because I decided to add just one more cat to my herd but I'll put this info in another thread.;) Any way I volunteered to take pictures of all of the kittens that FOSMAS has at this location. They just haven't had time to take pics and put their bios up on Petfinder. They're all very cute and if I was interested in any more kittens then the kitten named Ferguson would've gone home with me. He was the friendliest of the bunch and gorgeous too. He's going to be a big boy. One of the other foster mom's was very smitten with him but her husband told her that he's not the Maine Coon cat that she's looking for so he's still available if anyone is interested. Now please sit back and relax and enjoy all of the cuteness.:)

Easter drama at E. Flat Rock church
The "More Than just a Man" Easter Worship Experience is set for 7 p.m. today and 10:45 a.m. Sunday at First Baptist Church East Flat Rock, 2227 Spartanburg Highway.

"More Than just a Man" provides a glimpse into the controversy surrounding the Messiah.
Call 828-692-0765 or visit www.fbcefr.org for more information.
Church supports marriage equality
First Congregational United Church of Christ at 1735 Fifth Ave. W., plans a Marriage Equality Prayer Service for 7 p.m. Tuesday.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the U.S.
Supreme Court will hear arguments in two cases that challenge laws limiting the freedom to marry: Proposition 8 (the California law overturning a state court decision allowing same-sex marriages) and DOMA (the federal Defense of Marriage Act). Church pastor, the Rev. Dr. E. Richard Weidler, said, "This will be the historic civil rights decision of our generation. The just decision is clear in my mind: granting the rights and privileges of marriage to all loving couples regardless of gender. Can you imagine the joy and relief there would be for our LGBT friends across the country and for us who are allies, if the court made a broad ruling that stated that defining marriage as legal only between a man and woman is unconstitutional, because it denies equal protection of the law to all citizens." Call 828-692-8630 or visit fcchendersonville.org for more information.
Cross walk set for Good Friday
First United Methodist Church at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Church Street, hosts a Good Friday Cross Walk at 9:45 a.m. Friday.

St. James team leaving for Honduras
A team of 10 members of St. James Episcopal Church at 766 N. Main St., will leave April 8 for a weeklong mission trip to Our Little Roses, a home for orphaned and abandoned girls in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Our Little Roses provides a home and education for more than 70 at-risk girls from throughout Honduras.
Diana Frade, wife of the then-Episcopal bishop of Honduras, founded the mission in 1988 out of concern for the large number of homeless children in Honduras.
Mission teams, mostly from Episcopal churches in the United States, serve as "extended family" for the girls, nurturing and encouraging them. The team will take clothing, toys and other needed items, along with financial contributions to help sustain Our Little Roses.
St. James hopes to build a lasting relationship with Our Little Roses with the goal of sponsoring a mission trip every year. Members of this year's team are Greg and Marsha Allen, Frank and Ethlyn Byrd, Robert and Kim Cathers, Karen Atkinson, Jeremy Lee, Dauna Donato and Carroll Toole.
A video being developed to build support for the Our Little Roses ministry can be seen on YouTube at www.youtube.com/ watch?v= 0YUsbq1RCOw.
Anyone wishing to make a financial contribution may send a check to St. James Episcopal Church, 766 N. Main St., Hendersonville, NC 28792, labeled "OLR Mission Trip." Questions may be directed to Frank or Ethlyn Byrd at fjb22@ morissbb.net.
Annual sunrise service set at Chimney Rock
Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park hosts the 58th annual Easter Sunrise Service from 6:307 a.m. March 31.
The event attracts more than 1,000 early risers from around the Southeast each year. The interdenominational community celebration includes live spiritual music by local musicians, an inspirational message and — with some cooperation from above — a beautiful sunrise with 75-mile views.

TUSCUMBIA | Haley Nichols has always been an animal lover, but until recently didn't know just how deep her 2-year-old cat's allegiance was to her.
TUSCUMBIA | Haley Nichols has always been an animal lover, but until recently didn't know just how deep her 2-year-old cat's allegiance was to her.
Baby Cat, a black cat with a white star on her chest, was always a good companion but, as is characteristic of most cats, was fiercely independent and just a bit contrary.
When two kittens were born, Nichols, a single mom of two children, was unable to care for the three animals, primarily because her apartment complex required a $100 pet fee.
"I just couldn't pay it, and couldn't do everything for them I needed to," Nichols said. "I loved them, but I had to let them go."
Nearly two months ago, the local Pets Are Worth Saving (PAWS) group heard of Haley's plight and got involved. PAWS member Tambra Howard left a note on Nichols' door that she could help.
Nichols knew Howard, who'd been her art teacher years earlier in school.
She took up Howard on the offer for help. Howard collected the three cats and the organization vaccinated the animals and found a good home for them, several miles away in a mountainous area of Spring Valley. The cats had a loving family and barn in which to romp and play.
But that apparently wasn't enough for Baby Cat. She disappeared from her new home.
Weeks passed.
In the meantime, Nichols, 29, learned she had Stage 3 cervical cancer.
"I was in shock, you know, I'm only 29," she said. "It was all I could think about, especially with two babies to care for, ages 2 and 6."
Her doctor performed what she dubbed a radical hysterectomy last week, and Haley is cancer-free, but radiation will be required as soon as Haley heals from the surgery.
Haley returned home from the hospital Friday night, sore and a bit dejected about the circumstances in her life.
"I was telling my fiance that night how depressing my recovery will be because I'll be all alone, with the baby in day care (because Haley can't lift) and my older child in school," she said. "I was really pretty down about it all."
She awoke Saturday morning and noticed something outside the window. It was Baby Cat waiting to come in.
"I couldn't believe it was her," she said. "But it was. She had the same white star on her chest and it was definitely Baby Cat's meow, more like a whiny little song."
PAWS officials figure Baby Cat had been on the road to home for about four weeks.
The kittens weren't with her.
Howard said Baby Cat is proof that "there's more going on in those little brains than people credit them with."
"It's like (Baby Cat) knew she had to get back to Haley," Howard said. "We knew at that point that this cat just had to stay with her. It was just meant to be."
Nichols said Baby Cat is different since coming home.
"She stays right with me, never leaves my side," Nichols said. "She hates water, but even wills herself to go in the bathroom while I'm showering. When I take her outside, she comes right back in, and before, I'd have to haul her back in. Before, she didn't like to be held, and now, she wants to be right by me, usually laying her head right on my stomach. She really is the perfect companion for me, a real blessing."
Nichols said Baby Cat may just be repaying her. "When she was a baby, I bottle fed her because she was so tiny," she said. "And now, when I need her, she found her way back to me."

Overall, the U.S. received a D+ grade up from a D in the 2009 report. Rail showed the biggest improvement out of all the categories, moving up to a C+ from a C- four years ago.
ASCE credits the grade boost in the rail category to both freight and passenger railroads self-investment and marked rail's overall willingness to increase spending during the recession to take advantage of lower material costs and relatively longer work windows, due to a decrease in traffic.
To further increase rail's grade, ASCE made the following recommendations:
• Integrate rail into a national multimodal transportation policy that recognizes and takes advantage of efficiencies in the movement of people and goods.
• Improve passenger rail in dense urban corridor markets and as an alternative to air and automobile travel for intercity markets.
• Increase and expand passenger rail commuter services in urban areas and intercity passenger services linking major cities in the nation's mega-regions.
• Support a regulatory and financial environment that encourages continued private investment in the nation's freight railroad system.
"It is truly gratifying that the world's premier organization of engineering experts recognizes the value and benefits that have resulted from freight railroads making private investments in our country's rail network infrastructure," said AAR President and CEO Edward Hamberger. "It's also reassuring that ASCE recognizes that freight railroads need a regulatory and financial environment that will continue to make those private investments possible."
Also of relevance was the transit category, which remained at a D. ASCE notes that while transit investment has increased, many transit agencies still struggle to maintain their fleets, resulting in service cuts and/or fare increases.
A category covering ports was added to the 2013 report, with a debut grade of C. ASCE cites that while port authorities and their private sector partners have planned more than $46 billion in capital improvements through 2016, federal funding has declined for navigable waterways and landside freight connections needed to move goods to and from the ports.
The ASCE uses a five letter-based grading system of A through F with A equivalent to an exceptional rating; B equivalent to good; C equivalent to mediocre; D equivalent to poor and F equivalent to failing.

A fake advert claiming that Apple's latest software update will automatically make devices water resistant has already tricked a number of consumers into testing the new feature.
The ad, which at first glance looks completely genuine, thanks to the characteristic use of white space and familiar fonts, is thought to have originated on the 4Chan network but has since made its way into the mainstream social media realms of Facebook and Twitter where a number of members failed to see the joke and took its details as face value.
Indeed it starts off simply by describing what iOS7 is but then under the headline:"Update to iOS 7 and become waterproof" it says: "In an emergency, a smart-switch will shut off the phone's power supply and corresponding components to prevent any damage to your iPhone's delicate circuitry."
Apple's latest software upgrade brings many new features, but waterproofing isn't one of them as the outrage on Twitter from duped iPhone owners will testify. Currently the only readily available water-resistant smartphones on the market come from Samsung and Sony.
As for the ad's origins, 4Chan has a reputation for infiltrating blue chip websites and social media for the sake of hoaxing its users. Some of its recent high-profile stunts include rigging Time Magazine's Person of the Year poll in favor of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, plus a number of pranks targeting Justin Bieber fans including the hacking of the official "Entertainment Tonight" Twitter account in order to report "breaking news" that the pop superstar was diagnosed with cancer and that fans who cared about his well-being should shave their heads in support.

Agent IQ is an intelligent server-side resource for responsive website design. It maintains a local database of device capabilities on your Web server and, based on the incoming user agent header, returns an array of capabilities. When a request is received, it looks at the User Agent String of the incoming header and matches it against the database. If there is a match, the device capabilities are stored as PHP and Javascript variables for you to use in shaping how your site is served. If there is no match, the request is re-directed to a JavaScript "learning page" where the database is updated with the client capabilities and is redirected back. There is a learning logic built in to avoid incorrect records. You can set a barrier which determines how many identical records need to be "learned" from unique IPs before the record becomes "official". An "official" record never diverts to the learning page again.

BEdita 3 is a solid software environment, fully compatible and respectful of Web standards. The user interface has been developed in accordance with well-established rules in usability and ergonomics, but it is also practical and enjoyable. BEdita has been built upon CakePHP, the well known framework, from which it inherits the MVC design pattern. Moreover, a number of third party libraries and tools have been used, like JQuery, Smarty, and so on.

Jenner is a Web page templating system with a twist: it runs completely within a Web browser. Templates are just normal Web pages with special syntax inside text nodes, attributes, or comments. Unlike other in-browser templating systems, Jenner does not require overloading of "class" attributes or invalid HTML; all Jenner templates are valid Web pages and the template expressions flow in a very natural way. Having the template engine in the Web browser instead of on the server takes a lot of load off of the server, and makes for a clean separation of presentation and content. Jenner is very powerful: it has the full power of the Esel expression language at its disposal. Templates can be rendered from JSON data, and can be re-rendered without a browser-to-server round trip.

"Year after year we observe the same upward trend, with transit ridership growing significantly faster than population," said CUTA President and CEO Michael Roschlau. "People using public transit come from very different backgrounds and ways of life. On the same system, you will find commuters who have left their car at home, cyclists, students, seniors, business people, frequent and occasional riders. This is really what transit is about, providing universal access and mobility by offering efficient and alternative transportation in a way that enhances quality of life."
"A recent national survey conducted by Harris Decima on behalf of CUTA showed that 94 percent of Canadians say it is important or very important for their community to have access to public transit. And even more impressive, 91 percent of people who don't use transit consider it important or highly important for their community to have access to transit," said Bob Paddon, CUTA chair.
Over the past year CUTA has been working closely with the federal government on the development of Canada's next long-term infrastructure plan. A key recommendation from CUTA is for the next infrastructure plan to include incremental and dedicated funding for public transit.

I think part of the phenomenon comes not from anything to do with the game but the sense of power derived from breaking the rules to put yourself in charge. It is just a game after all so the consequences are what? Nothing really. That unhooks the usual restraints and it's hard to really reestablish them in a virtual world to put things back in balance. Server tools definitely go a long way in cases where you get admins who care enough to manage things by hand. But for the vast majority of open servers across PCs and consoles the hope lies with designers finding a solution to a better self-policing community.

One Man's Secret for Growing a Bumper Tomato Crop
When you think of robust tomatoes, you probably think about nice healthy soil, maybe trellises or stakes, and maybe, I don't know, hardy heirloom seeds. What probably does not come to mind right away is a garbage can.
Who knew, but a simple plastic garbage can could be the secret to growing a garden tomato crop with the most voluptuous fruits and leaves that you have ever grown. An avid gardener posted these unbelievable photos on Hometalk.com of his secret to growing huge tomato plants. Do you want to know his secret? OK, I'll tell you.
The DIY gardener started by buying a small, round, plastic wastebasket, which he drilled holes in. He drilled the holes around the bottom rim, and "a second row up about ten inches". He buried the wastebasket so that the second row of holes rose just above the ground. He then filled the wastebasket with two shovels-full of compost.
Next, he planted four tomato plants around the trash can, and put up a round tomato cage around them. Every two days, he fills up the little garbage can with water. Easy, eh?
Within a month and a half, he grew five foot high tomato plants, each of which bore a lot of fruit. FYI, he was gardening in central Pennsylvania, where the climate is chilly and the growing season is shorter than in the South. So if you are a getting a late start on planting tomatoes, this technique is a way to speed up the growth process for optimal yield.

CUSTOMS wants its staff to dob in colleagues who are seen smoking marijuana at parties outside work, leaked internal documents reveal.
Customs and Border Protection workers have been told that under the new ''mandatory reporting'' regime, they will be expected to report on their colleagues' behaviour inside and outside of work.
Under a section titled ''If it doesn't seem quite right'' one directive reads: ''While you are off duty and at a party you observe a fellow Customs and Border Protection officer smoking marijuana. Report it''.
Another tells staff: ''While walking past a colleague's computer you notice the colleague looking up the details of an ex-partner on the system. Report it''.
Customs staff were assured that such reporting ''is not about dobbing people in'' but they could expect to be disciplined if they ''make a negative comment on Facebook about a specific Customs and Border Protection corporate decision made by the senior executive''.
Paranoia within Customs has been fuelled by recent revelations that a few officers have been socialising out of hours at nightclubs and gyms with Middle Eastern crime figures and members of bikie gangs, including the Comancheros. Some Customs staff are understood to be romantically linked to known criminals. One crime figure was invited to Customs' Christmas party.
From Friday, staff were told it would be ''a legal mandatory requirement for all Customs and Border Protection workers to report any suspected serious misconduct''. Staff who witness ''serious misconduct'' and do not report it will be investigated and could lose their jobs.
Under the new drug and alcohol testing regime, which begins next month, Customs staff can expect to be tested for drugs and alcohol any time during work hours. The legal blood alcohol limit to drive is 0.05 per cent but Customs is introducing a limit of 0.02 per cent.
One section of the document states that staff can only drink alcohol at ''designated social venues'' in their off-duty hours, but a Customs and Border Protection spokesman clarified that this applied only to venues on Customs premises and that ''there is no restriction on which venues officers can attend outside work hours''.
Asked why it was necessary for staff to report colleagues for smoking marijuana in their own time, the spokesman said: ''Any form of illicit drug use by a Customs and Border Protection officer is incompatible with their role of protecting the border.''
He said negative Facebook commentary could be incompatible with the Australian Public Service Code of Conduct.
The acting deputy secretary of the Community and Public Sector Union, Rebecca Fawcett, said while the union's members were ''broadly supportive'' of the direction of these reforms, they were worried about other measures.
''The announcement this week by [acting CEO] Mr [Michael] Pezzullo to launch a new 'crackdown' on poor appearance and presentation because it is a 'breeding ground for potential serious misconduct and corruption' is frankly insulting," Ms Fawcett said.
But are any of these intrusions illegal? Andrew Stewart, a workplace law specialist at the University of Adelaide, said they were ''significant overreach'' and he was troubled by the limits on speech imposed by the regulation of Facebook messages.

Dash Rip Rock is the legendary New Orleans trio known for their high-octane roots rock. SPIN says Dash Rip Rock is "undeniably the South's greatest rock band." The New York Times calls Dash Rip Rock "skillful musicians with a penchant for getting reliably wild...." No Depression raves that DRR's recent albums prove that Dash is "one of the greatest bands working today." In 2012 Dash Rip Rock was honored to be inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.
Dash Rip Rock has long been celebrated for tight musicianship, high energy live shows, and songs of raw insolence and longing that are sometimes cut with whimsy. Bill Davis, Dash Rip Rock's founder and frontman, is a songwriter known for his blistering guitar work. For over 20 years Bill "Diamond" Davis has made his band Louisiana's edgiest cultural export and the band has amassed a loyal, diverse following.
"What lifts Dash Rip Rock's album a head above most Southern rock is Davis's ability to write songs that do more than sell beer on Saturday night."
"Their roots sound's supercharged with energy and an overdose of irreverence, delivered with crunchy bar band swagger."
"...no one can replace Bill Davis. He's the brains behind Dash's brawn, a barroom poet with a wicked sense of humor and a shameless knack for a good lick."
"Louisiana lightning bugs."

BTU Radiator Calculator
Our BTU (British Thermal Units) calculator will help you to work out the heat requirement for your room, and recommend the number of radiators you will need to comfortably heat it.
What is a BTU?
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a measure of heat output from a radiator. Depending on the size of your room, the number and type of windows and what the room is used for, you'll need more or less heat. If you have a higher BTU requirement, it might be better to use more than one radiator to deliver the heat you'll need to a room. The total BTU output of several smaller radiators may meet your needs.
How do I choose the right radiator?
The BTU value of all our radiators is clearly labelled in-store and online, helping you find those which suit your requirements.

The Searcy House, built in 1904, is one of two structures in the 700 block of Greensboro Avenue that is expected to go up for auction at 2 p.m. on July 17.
County school officials said they have heard rumblings of interest from potential purchasers, including nearby churches and real estate agents.
But the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society is leading an effort of local historic and neighborhood protection groups to raise enough awareness of the sale so that a benefactor will step forward and purchase the property instead.
"When cities and towns lose their historic buildings, they may not realize it now, but 20 years down the road there's a real sense of lost place and lost history," said Katherine Richter, executive director of the preservation society. "A community loses a sense of who it is, how it came to be and how it got to where we are now."
While Richter said the society would prefer to purchase the home, it lacks the funds to meet the minimum $600,000 that the county Board of Education will accept for the
Ray Ward, attorney for the county school board, said the lot where the county schools' headquarters were once housed — the land, the Searcy house and the 1930s-era building that fronted onto Ninth Street — recently appraised for this value and the board has indicated it will accept nothing less.
The school system hopes to get more than $600,000, of course, to offset the costs associated with relocating to the former federal courthouse building and renovating it for the board's purposes.
"If we don't get the appraised value, we have to go back to square one," Ward said.
Ward confirmed that several parties have expressed interest in the land, including First Baptist Church, located across Eighth Street from the Searcy House, and Tuscaloosa-area Realtors.
One of those interested even asked the county schools to sell the property without the public's knowledge, but Ward said the county board members believed it would be best to sell the land publicly.
Officials for First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa could not be reached for comment, but those with First United Methodist Church of Tuscaloosa said the notion of purchasing the lot has not come before the church's trustees.
Regardless of who brings the highest bid, Richter and her fellow preservationists are hopeful the historic home will be saved.
Listed this year on the annual "Places in Peril" list compiled by the Alabama Historical Commission and the Alabama Trust for Historic Preservation, the Searcy House is one of the few surviving buildings in Tuscaloosa that date to the early 20th century.
According to late historian Marvin Harper, the house was one of the first large houses built at a time when Tuscaloosa was more socially and financially active.
The house was constructed in the neo-revival style of architecture by George Searcy, a prominent Tuscaloosa businessman. It once featured six white, large fluted ionic columns in the front, which are now missing, but it also contains a cylindrical spiral staircase constructed in 1840 that was salvaged from the E.N.C. Snow House, which once sat on the site of the present Tuscaloosa County Courthouse.
The Snow staircase was moved during the Searcy House's renovation in 1986 by the Board of Education. In addition to creating office space for the board's needs, the renovation also served to restore and protect many of the Searcy House's original features, such as the mantels, the large decorative window on the second floor, the leaded glass windows and the usable pocket doors.
Richter said the costs to repair the visible exterior damage has been exaggerated and that a new roof will solve many of the problems. With a new roof in place, the water damage to the exterior can be corrected.
"We have control over this," Richter said. "This is a building we don't have to lose. It's important to the history of Tuscaloosa. It's important to the history of downtown."
"And whenever it's gone, it's gone — and there's no getting it back."
