ROB KARDASHIAN was handcuffed and almost arrested by the Miami police early Sunday morning… for playing a joke on a paparazzo.
The "DWTS" runner-up, who recently celebrated his 25th birthday in Las Vegas, was in Miami for the weekend when he ran into a bit of trouble with the cops and almost got arrested.
Rob was reportedly out with some of his pals when he saw a paparazzo taking pictures of him from across the street. According to a source, the reality star thought it would be a hoot to play a joke on the man, so he began running full-speed towards him…
…which of course freaked the photographer out, causing him to run for the hills while screaming at the top of his lungs.
TMZ reports:
"According to our sources, Rob followed the guy into a smoke shop to try and clear the air (no pun intended) but the police saw the whole thing and decided to get involved. [The] cops interviewed both Rob and the photog — even putting Rob in the back of a police car. But after Rob explained to them it was all a misunderstanding, he was released."
Lesson learned here is… never come running after a stranger.
They will think you're attacking them.

Black Painted House: Love It or Leave It?
My initial reaction to this Victorian house that has been painted black is "ooooh wow". To me, it looks like an interesting way to bring a modern sensibility to an old style. Then again, it also looks like a certain kooky family with an Uncle Fester could call it home.
When I first came across the images of this Noe Valley Victorian at Freshome, I stopped in my web surfing tracks. I'm accustomed to seeing Victorians that have either been painted all white or are decked out in colorful exteriors. So this black house is quite eye catching indeed!
What do you think of this color on a house of this era? Would it matter if it wasn't a Victorian? Would you like the black more or less if it were on, say, a modern home?
Check out the photos of the interior of the house at Freshome | Eye Catching Victorian Duplex in San Francisco. The design firm may have gone dark for the exterior, but the interior is a wonderland of color.

I like it but don't think it would work on just any home. I think the detail in the victorian architecture keeps it from feeling really heavy like it would on a simpler facade. I would change the door color to something that maybe pops a bit more.
Too bad there is so much concrete in front also. I understand parking is at a premium, but knocking out a couple of concrete squares and adding some landscaping would look great in front of the steps and beside the driveway.
i love it. and i'm glad the door color doesn't dazzle. it was a nice surprise to look at the second pic and notice the door, stairs and garage door were in shades fo blue. i saw the garage door in pic #1 but it didn't register with me until i saw the other blues. nicely done.
*of blue.
I think it is kind of depressing. I can just picture the beautiful "painted lady" colors that they covered up.
LOVE. everytime I see a house painted black I rejoice. Victorians, Queen Anne's, vacation A frames... midcentury... dingbat... all sing, but the 19th early 20th century stuff in black is truly the fat lady. Black is the bee's knees, the cat's etc. Renoir called black "the queen of colors." And trees and shrubs look amazing next to it... it's msg for greenery.
darn that apostrophe in the meant to be plural Queen Annes... I am so going to get it for that.
I have walked by this house several times... love the black, love the blue too, but I hate the garage door. I don't object to contemporary additions to Victorian houses per se, but I don't think this one works very well. The garage door is really the first thing the eye is drawn to, especially from the pedestrian's perspective, which is unfortunate for such a lovely house.
It's an odd choice, as if they had wanted a modern house but settled on a historic victorian instead. The end result looks kind of evil.
At first I didn't love it, but then I checked out the interiors at Freshome, and holy wow! So lovely, and it's the beauty of the inside that for me helps the black make sense. I do wish there were more on the exterior that hinted at the brilliance within. As is, it could easily be taken for someone letting their 14 yr old angry/sad/emo son call the design shots. Though I do like the frong and garage door colors. I agree, something to soften the concrete would help. Even just painting the area below the stairs something more inviting.
I agree, it looks kind of evil, and the garage door doesn't work. Maybe if it had *something* cheerful about it--a brightly colored door/trim, landscaping, flower boxes/potted plants, etc.--I could go with it, but right now the house appears to be in mourning.
I like it. I think it works for this house.
The only thing I don' like about it is that it really takes away from all the beautiful detail of the house's exterior. Barring that, I do kind of like it.
I like it- I think it works great with the structure. I hope the inside is bright and cheery though!
Why ruin a house with an ugly paint job such as this? If anything, paint it funky, like purple, green, yellow and blue or something.
Love the black. And it's not too far off from being historically correct, either. The colorful paint jobs we associate with the "Painted Ladies" only came about in the past few decades. Real Victorian homes were painted kind of drab colors to mimic stone.
"...can just picture the beautiful "painted lady" colors that they covered up."
"Too bad there is so much concrete in front also...
...and adding some landscaping would look great in front of the steps and beside the driveway."
Neither of you have spent much time in SF, have you?
There are only a small percentage of true "Painted Ladies" - The vast majority of Victorians in this town haven't been anything special to gaze upon since before WWII.
As far as the space in front of the steps - that's the sidewalk...
...and in certain neighborhoods - put a nice plant in the ground today, see an empty hole in the ground tomorrow morning.
It's very Darth Vader.
Hm, it's interesting... I imagine that it's not very energy efficient though, wouldn't it heat up terribly during the summer?
I don't like it at all. I can't help shaking the black= evil association. Houses like that are kind of haunted housey to begin with.
Leave it. It's pretty dreary.
I don't know about the modern-styled glass garage door, but the black paint is very exotic, in a way.
That's Metal.
Tim Burton-esque. Therefore, cool.
On it's own it looks great but I don't know about how it looks with the rest of the homes on the street.
It does need some landscaping. How about a green mural on the cement steps if the area is prone to theft.
And if you look at the interiors, yes these people wanted modern.
Where is this located?
Reminds me of "Church of Satan" founder Anton LeVey's old home, which used to be located on California Street near 23rd Avenue, in San Francisco. I used to live in that neighborhood, and every now and then, kids would show up in the area looking for his home.
"wouldn't it heat up terribly during the summer?"
Summer in San Francisco is 2 weeks long between Late September and early October - when it's rarely more than 90 degrees.
What the rest of the country considers "Summer" (May-August) is when we freeze to death because of the fog - We're lucky if it hits 68 degrees...
...much like the other 9 months of the year.
"Where is this located?"
Noe Valley.
LeVey's house was in the Richmond.
I saw something similar a while back The house was painted black, dark dark green, and dark purple. It brought out the architectural details.. and look great. The dark green and purple worked well with the landscaping.
I think it's GREAT. You can tell it looks a hell of a lot better than the houses on either side! I saw a black house on "curb appeal:the block" recently and I'm warming up to the idea!
Another vote for great! Love the blue front door, and the garage door, also. I don't think there are many instances where black would work as an allover exterior paint color, but this does.
I think I'd like it if it wasn't ALL black, if there was some lighter coloured trim mixed in.
Not really my style, but not bad ... at least in San Francisco.
We had a neighbor in Austin, Texas do the same thing a couple of years ago. What a nut job ... it's 100+ degrees here for months in a row.
Even though it looks well maintained, a lot of strangers would refuse even to knock on its front door because of the black walls...good job!
I love this. Very cool house inside and out. Although I can see the point about the aluminum garage door being a bit of a distraction (especially from the pedestrian point of view). Nonetheless, that garage door isn't hideous, and it kind of works with the windows above it. So, all in all, thumbs up on this one.
Love it!
In San Francisco, a black Victorian really stands out against all the 'Painted Ladies' and more traditional paint jobs.
If this photo included the surrounding buildings, this paint job would be considered conservative.
Plants! Huge zinc planters, filled with corresponding dark colors, but my god, all that concrete, blech. All I can see is major water runoff.
Love it. Hate the white concrete squares, and the garage door sucks mud.
I think it's interesting and unique (and it's just paint, easy enough to change when they're tired of it).
And please pardon the architectural buff, but that is really a Stick Style Victorian, not a Queen Anne.
LOL at the "heat up in the summer" comment. Our July temperatures averaged in the 50s. It's just now starting to warm up.
Anyway. This house is in my 'hood. I think it's a sophisticated iteration of black, nothing like the flat, silly charcoal of LaVey's last house (never saw the original). I welcome it as a tonic to the pastels typically found on Victorians in pricey neighborhoods. As bepsf noted, Painted Ladies are rare these days. I mostly see them in the Castro and parts of the Haight.
As for complaints about the concrete, what do you want them to do? Jackhammer the sidewalk?
I think it's totally awesome. I agree also that it would only work in certain neighborhoods/hip areas and with a certain crowd. If you're in a big traditional neighborhood it probably won't fly. A creative mecca? Go for it.
Personally I would likely add more touches of bright color like the door to make it clear that I'm not a witch doctor or something.
I think if it was dark grey with peeling paint maybe it would look an awful lot like the Addams house, but I think it's gorgeous in this colour. I recently painted half my house this colour. What an awesome colour to decorate with and won't it look fantastic at halloween where they COULD make it intentionally like the Addams house. :D
Looooove it!
There is no way one could ever convince me that all black is anywhere near as interesting or brave a choice as the commitment to going all white or all beige.
<Insert sarcastic eye roll here.>
While it's not for me personally, I can get behind it 100%. Crisp. Clean. I can see every detail from a new perspective. Alum garage door. It's kind of like a tuxedo for your house.
And, it's only paint.
Okay, let's rephrase that. The garage door provides a jarring (teethonedgestubbedtoe chronicheadache) suburban counterpoint to the soothing, sophisticated aesthetic of the black/dark charcoal house.
I like the blue door, but the all encompassing black is a little jarring. I think the concept of having the house black is a cool and modern, but I would have liked to have seen SOME kind of accent color on the house to properly show off the architectural details.
Love this house. It's very striking in-person. The entire neighborhood is gorgeous, which helps. It's not conventional, but still beautiful in its own Gothic way. I live in a Queen Anne revival, and we went with black trim on white (Tudor-esque). It's bland and boring, and thus non-offensive. I strive for this kind of courage.
Love it.... The blue/grey garage and garden door is balancing. Minimalist goth. I like.
Would have done a blood-red front door though. Needs a touch of evil intent...
Noe Valley is a fun, funky neighborhood. This fits right in. I love the bold color choice. But the garage door? Uh, not so much. The two tone thing is way too traditional for this place. Ugh.
P.S. The interior is ab fab. WOW.
Hahaha! I take it back! The garage door (I'm pretty sure) is glass!!!! I take it all back. Very cool.
Wow. Gorgeous and brave.
I like it, but wish it had a little more contrasting detailing.
An AWESOME way to take a fussier style and make it more modern!
LEAVE IT! I don't know that I would object to a black house in general, but in this case it kills me to see that they painted all that stunning trim black. This is a beautiful house. Bummer!
Absolutely fantastic! Wish I had the guts to paint my house that color. But I do have a blue front door.
There's so much detail in the house itself that the black doesn't seem so bad...though I don't know if I could do that. Maybe, if there were some potted plants or flowers, or potted shrubs, it would soften it a bit.
Wow! Just looked at the interior photos...really fearless in their choices. The black exterior sort of prepares you for what's in store inside. Interesting...thinking...I can see some exotic tropical plants outdoors, like a Staghorn fern, for example.
I love it! I'd toss in some colorful flowers and paint the door pink, but that's my solution to everything. It would also be fantastic to decorate for Halloween!
Didn't think I would like it but it doesn't look bad. Living in Tucson my first thought was the heat but sounds like that's not a problem.
Love it. But maybe that's because I live in a black house too. Mine is an early (1945) mid-century modern cottage that a second architect redid about 10 years ago. The "paint" is actually a black oil on the cedar siding, and the trim is dark green. I don't know how it would work in a city, but it is perfect on my heavily wooded lot.
I think it's great. Kind of reminds me of the artist Louis Nevelson. And do you know how hard it is to paint a painted lady? Either a couple of huge potted strubs, pruned topiary style, that are too heavy to steal or some increadible blooms. Something blue or orange, not red.
i really like it. i'd like it even more with some topiaries or some sort of greenery
I don't like it for the style of house.
I like it. It's a great way to contemporize/modernize a historic/period house without doing any damage to it. They haven't removed any of the architectural detailing, when or if they decide to sell they'd just need to paint it a lighter color and change the garage door to depersonalize it.
I LOVE THIS! it's different, creative, and out of the ordinary...probably why it is attracting the negative comments.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned this already- but has anyone heard of the 5 black Victorian Houses in Olympia, WA? They actually have a strange and interesting history... worth checking out
Love it! I think I walked past it once in SF.. I love modern and old juxtapositions and this is a great example.
There was a black painted house near where we lived in Ithaca, NY. Sometimes I wasn't sure about it, but in winter, when everything else was white...
Bold move. Fabulous execution. Wouldn't change a thing!
Love this!
The color is not the issue, and I am a strong advocate of not following trend and creating your own style, but this type of juxtaposition, Victorian and modern? I just hope the homeowners intend to live there for a very long time.
We have a few brave souls over here in Fairfield County CT that have taken the super dark approach on some old Colonials, and more often than not to fabulous effect. If I hadn't just painted a few years ago, and didn't already have a sort of dark (mad scientist) aesthetic I would consider it myself, but too much black with too much antique curiosities goes a bit Aadams Family.
I hate it. Makes my brows furrow.
OK, knowing the garage door is glass instead of sea blue helps. That was bugging me.
The comments about the lack of landscaping and too much concrete made me smile. Sillies. There *is* extensive landscaping, for old SF! See the cactus? The rest is sidewalk, controlled by the city. Think like Manhattan. Pots on the stairs would be gone by next day.
Love it!
I think I would like the black if they also used some white on the trim. As it is it is too black.
So glad someone mentioned Anton LaVey! That's the first thing I thought of. Big fan of LeVay, so I looooove this.
Considering another house design (well, this one also) i'd definitely paint it black. But as with all daring color decisions, the paint job has to be impeccable.
That said... everything around the house in the picture looks like crap.
I LOVE it. I am a big fan of black, and would love to live in a black house. I think they pulled off non-goth, classy black. Like a little black dress...house.
Strikes me as less Addams Family and more Jonathan Adler. I like it. I affirm the comments of some of the others, less concrete more landscaping a more interesting color on the door might be good ... like a boysenberry, nothing too "poppy". And the surroundings do look a little mundane next to it. But.. you do what you can with what you have. And who knows what they are going to do next.
Kudos to them for having the stones to do it.
I like to think that the next paint job they will do a 180 to ultraviolet painted lady.
Love it... I think it would also be very nice if the interior of the porch area was painted bright white to contrast the overall darkness...
I would think that it would absorb a lot of heat in the summer.
Love it. It's bold and unexpected.
I am not averse to black per se, I just don't really like this black. I think a more blueish shade or a dark smokey gray would have been better.
The inside is impeccable though.
this is just plain awful. there is no precedent for this in thousands of years of architecture and design. there is such a thing as being too novel. it doesn't suit the home's architectural style at all.
Love it!
Perfect. And that the house has enough texture and architectural details means that the light and shadows will provide their own highlights.
I would switch out the door colour for something in a deep chartreuse, though. And if building codes allow for it, some big planters out front along the foundation would be nice, too.
all the beautiful architectural detail is lost in the solid mass of black. I don't mind the black, but I'd add some other colors as well.
makes me sad
I can see what they were aiming for, but imo they missed their mark - it needs some subtle detailing and I feel like the black is too warm. There's just something off. I do appreciate the modern accents, such as the cactus and the chrome, but I think they could have done better.
I love it! One of my favorite houses is a Victorian in Oakland's Shafter/Rockridge neighborhood that's painted a dark, dark gray.
The interior is a bit disappointing though. Far too modern for this house.
Stunning! Works very well on this architecture. I would however think about painting those architectural accents a slightly lighter colour, even a charcoal, just to give it a bit more depth and would suggest that for any house that is so mono-colour, even white, blue, or green.
I like the house but the garage door looks weird with it.
<3 it!
I don't dislike it, I'm just not feeling it. I guess it could be because of the lack of contrast. Most houses, no matter how drab their exterior tend to have a couple different shades of drab. Maybe if the window frames or shutters were painted grayish blue or something I could warm up to it. But hey, to each his own.
And my not feeling it has nothing to do with the association of black=evil. I've seen plenty of stylish rooms painted black, but the furniture is not all black that I've drooled over. There is often some accents to liven up the space like gold, gray, white or red.
I live very close to this house. The paint is more of a blue-black and it is very cool.
Featured in NY Times article, you can see the interior here:
I like it. One time when I was about 11, I asked a boy why there arent any black houses, and he said to me, "I'll paint my house black so someday if you see it, you'll know it's me". it was cute lol
I love it. It's way foxy. Queen Victoria wore black. :-)
@meanmillz - Thanks for the link. What a great article!
love it. but coming from florida, i can only imagine the sky high electric bill!
this is just screaming for potted plants. seems like a huge oversight! also, the blue doesn't really work imo, I like the idea of bold and contrast, but blue is almost boring. any number of yellows would be grand. and plants, please buy some plants!
Tim Burton-esque. Therefore, cool - I agree!
I kinda like it. I think it works for SF...wouldn't work in like Pleasanton, but definitely works for the city. Bright pops of color would be a good addition.
There's a house like that here in Halifax, with a pink front door!

The books on library shelves have to come from somewhere. Once they came from booksellers with direct relationships with the librarians. Now many libraries rely on Amazon.com and approval plan suppliers like Yankee Book Peddler and have fewer or even only rare contacts with Jewish booksellers. Is this an unavoidable function of our modern world are are there other choices? Reporting on discussions with various booksellers and academic and synagogue librarians, some suggestions will be made.

Established in 1903 by Moshe Beinkinstadt, Cape Town's oldest Jewish book store remained in the hands of his descendants for 105 years. Situated in District Six, the district closest to the original harbour, not far from the castle built by the Dutch East India Company, the shop reflects the history of Cape Town's Jewish community. Suppliers of seforim, taleysim, tefilin, and even of herrings, all imported from Latvia in the very earliest days, the shop also served as a meeting place for Yiddish speaking intellectuals. Among some 3000 Yiddish and Hebrew books on its shelves were titles as diverse as the luried early 20th century Yiddish novels of Shmoer and bloyshteyn, information about birth control from 1930 Warsaw, translations of Goethe, Balzac, Ibsen, Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Dickens, Marx and Kropotkin, Darwin's Ascent of Man, and Jean Meslier, the 17th century Catholic priest's philosophical essay promoting atheism! In the context of the social history of Cape Town's Jewish community, this paper will consider what this diverse collection reflects about the world of Yiddish speaking Jews in the first half of the 20th century.

Followers of children's literature have recently witnessed an unusual amount of illustrated books about the Holocaust being published. Along with the many narratives and memoirs for older readers, there is a large subgroup of supposedly simple picture books that are being offered to a younger crowd. After taking a look at almost everything about the Holocaust published in picture book format, one could come to the conclusion that children these days are seemingly prepared to absorb much of the horrors of 20th century at a tender age. Clearly this subject cannot be hidden from children who hear references to it often, but perhaps the bibliography discussed in this presentation will be of some assistance to teachers, librarians and booksellers who are at a loss as to which of thses pictrue books are most appropriate for various age groups, grades 4 through high school.

Studying Jewish life inevitably brings one into contact with a variety of different languages and dialects. For specialized scholars of Jewish linguistics, as well as for researchers who in general are fascinated by Jewish languages, online access to the existing and growing network of basic resources that are maximally representative of a particular language or language body is crucial to their work. These resources can range from unanalyzed sound recordings to fully transcribed and annotated text corpora; from dictionaries to the various manifestations of web-based "social media." Even though many of these tools and projects are not yet fully accessible on the web or remain in various stages of development because of staffing, funding and technological issues, listeners' awareness will be raised about their existence and benefits through this presentation.

This session offers hands-on Active Learning library instruction lessons that can be adapted to any grade level, in any time frame, and for any learning style. Librarians are always looking for effective ways to reach students, incorporate technology, increase student learning, and find new strategies to captivate students during library instruction classes, especially when we may only have them together in a class once a week, or in some cases, only a few times each year. The lecture format alone doesn't work, but Active Learning does!
Presented by Maureen Reister of the Ann & Nate Levine Academy in Dallas, TX.

The current demand for appropriate entertaining titles in the Haredi community in Israel is reflected, among other things, in the growing movie industry led by Haredi producers and directors. This interesting sub-genre of popular Israeli cinema, consisting of male-only actors, is intended for the whole family. Therefore, not only these movies are approved as "G-rated" by rabbis, they are also sold in a CD-Rom format, since in many Haredi households computers are welcome as a work tool, while DVD players are not allowed for religious reasons. Main themes of this genre include, quite surprisingly, quite a lot of military stories (some of them describing adventures of Israeli Mossad agents), comedies, contemporary dramas with Haredi happy endings, Hassidic tales, historical documentaries, as well as "women movies" with moving stories and heartbreaking endings. This presentation discusses the significance of such movies in academic collections as authentic portrayals of Haredi culture in Israel

The Jewish community of northeastern Ohio, or more simply, "Jewish Cleveland," has played an important role in the region's development since the first group of Jews to settle in the area arrived in 1839. This presentation will offer an overview of the growth and development of the region's Jewish community after World War II, drawing attention to the community's response to the arrival of Holocaust survivors, the move to the eastern suburbs, the role of Jewish leaders in the civil rights movement, and the local campaign on behalf of Soviet Jewry. The aim is to present a series of questions within a presentation on the community's development, questions which the presentation can only begin to address: How has the community's relationship to Jews outside the US affected local leaders and organizations? Why and how did Jews move to the eastern suburbs and how has the suburbanization of the community affected their concerns? How has the Jewish community forged alliances with non-Jews, and how have conflicts with other communities been handled? How has the community remained so vibrant, in spite of increasing urban sprawl and persistent demographic challenges? Posing the questions may lead to a new awareness of this more recent period of history. Special attention will also be given to the types of resources available in the Cleveland Jewish Archives to answer these questions.

In 1927, the Rare Book Room (now the Special Collections Library) of the University of Michigan Library received a gift of several 17th century Hebrew books published in Italy. Although spotted by a cataloger in the early 1970′s, somehow these rare materials remained uncatalogued and unprocessed for another thirty years before they were rediscovered by a staff member of the Special Collections Library who sent them to one of the catalogers of the Judaica-Hebraica Unit. Finally, some seventy years after the gift was made, these rare works were formally added to the University Library's Special Collections. How this markedly lengthy interval between receipt and processing could occur is the mystery that this presentation attempts to uncover.
Elliot Gertel is the Irving M. Hermelin Curator of Judaica at the University of Michigan and is president of AJL's RAS Division.
This panel presentation on the history, current trends, and hope for the future of Jewish children's literature was the opening session at the Sydney Taylor Book Award's 40th anniversary celebration, held at the Association of Jewish Libraries convention on June 25, 2008.

I have been a Cubs fan all my life ever since the day my mom dropped me off at my dad's and he sat me down in front of the TV when I was two years old and told me to stop crying and watch the Cubbies. I watched Harry Caray that day and I thought "I wish this guy was my dad." (KIDDING POPS!) I was hooked from the start. Since then I have attended numerous Cubs games both at Wrigley and in Milwaukee. Yet every time I have gone to Milwaukee and every time I have written for this website, I have been hated. WHY?
I don't get it. I have been going to Wisconsin my whole life. We have a summer home in Lake Geneva. We spend money at your restaurants. We pay your parking tickets. We go to your ballpark and we sell the place out. Then we stay in your crappy hotels (can a brother get a Drake Hotel?) and eat at your crappy restaurants (oooh fried cod, how original). Yet when we show up at the game we get shit on. What did we ever do to you? Besides, you know, be better than you at baseball.
It's gotta be jealousy. You have a dude like Paul Moliter, we had Ryne Sandburg. You had a dude like Greg Vaughn, we had a SAMMY SOSA. We spend tons of money to make our team better, you draft guys and hope they work out. You idiots like to say "oh you haven't won a Series since 1918", but have you ever even been to the World Series? Didn't think so.
I mean just because you guys have to live in Wisconsin and eat wheels of cheese for dinner every night doesn't mean you have to take it out on us. Sorry we live in a real city with real people in it. Wisconsin probably wouldn't even be there if it wasn't for us and our money, it'd probably just get sucked into Canada and nobody would ever notice. SO GET OVER IT.
We are the real fans and the fact that you hate us just proves it. When I am in the stands yelling "Ryan Braun is a faggot" that shows how much I love my team and the fact that you tell me to shut up proves that you don't. Why not stick up for yourself instead? You think I care about little kids in the stands? They need to learn at an early age that the Cubs are amazing and not to waste their time on the Brewers. If I say Princess Fielder's slave name is Kunta Kinte, so what? I paid to be there I can say whatever I want. It's dickholes like you Brewers fans that turn it into something bad. I'm not racist, I am just trying to get in his head so he strikes out. Excuse me for being a fan.
When I took over this blog I thought we could turn it into something really special and I have written some REALLY AMAZING FUNNY stuff and scored an AMAZIN INTERVIEW~, but I guess writing better and funnier stuff isn't what you guys are looking for if it's not about your precious Brewers who, by the way, are in third place (I know this because the Wrigley flags tell me so) and have gotten their ASSES KICKED by the Cubs the past two days.
The deal is the Cubs are going to win the World Series next year and you dumbasses in Wisconsin aren't even going to know it because you are too busy drinking brandy old fashions, watching the Packers and complaining about Brett Favre. So why don't you stop pretending you even like baseball and just give us the keys to Miller Park already?
(And if you do like baseball, there is still plenty of room on the bandwagon.)

Sex has rarely been far from centre-stage in an otherwise low-key campaign for Israel's election on Tuesday. The fact that the ruling Kadima party leader Tzipi Livni is a woman has, however, been largely debated by allusion and suggestion, often in a far from gentlemanly way in the still macho world of Israeli politics. So it's striking then, in the campaign's final days, to see Livni herself, bidding to become the country's first woman leader since Golda Meir in the 1970s, putting the issue front and centre. Take a look at this poster, photographed in Jerusalem by my colleague Jerry Lampen. It reads, in French, "Tzipi Livni - Man of the Moment", or perhaps "The Right Man for the Job". It looks like a direct response to repeated attacks from right-wing opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu especially that "she" is not ready to lead a country facing threats on numerous fronts. "She's not up to the job," runs one ad from Netanyahu's Likud party. It shows Livni, slumped, with her head in her hands.
On Tuesday at 10 p.m. (2000 GMT) we should know if Livni has been able to turn around Netanyahu's opinion poll lead. Even if she does, it is not guaranteed that she can form a coalition government. The reason this election is being held over a year early is because Livni, taking over from the corruption-hit Ehud Olmert, was unable to cobble together a workable coalition. As my colleague Jeffrey Heller had predicted when she took over her party's leadership, many believed the former soldiers running the other leading parties found it hard to accept her. Some saw the refusal of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party to join her cabinet as a reflection of religious sexism. That wasn't the official reason. But Livni, a secular denizen of liberal Tel Aviv, did go out of her way, unsuccessfully as it turned out, to appeal to religious tradition. She donned monochrome clothing and swapped her favoured pant suits for long skirts when meeting Shas leaders. Even so, the Orthodox press would not even print her picture. They would airbrush her out of group photos. Or, as for other women, they might photoshop her into "a tree, or something", one journalist at an ultra-Orthodox paper told my colleague Dan Williams.
Livni seems to have been reluctant to "play the woman card" early in the campaign, focusing on her record. But observers have detected a clear strategy to play the men at their own game. Both Netanyahu and Labour party leader Ehud Barak were commandos, Barak indeed is Israel's most decorated soldier. Livni has pushed her family credentials - her parents were famed guerrilla fighters against the British and Arabs in the 1940s - and her own shadowy past in the Mossad intelligence agency.
This TV ad showing a pixellated figure intones a list of career highlights down the years: "... he served in the Mossad ... he served as foreign minister..." and so on. "No one would doubt he could lead the government." Then the figure is revealed as Livni and the narrator says, "If only he wasn't... a woman." Hitting back at snide chauvinistic comments that, as a Mossad agent in Paris in the early 1980s she did only menial chores, Livni told an audience in Tel Aviv last week: "I make decisions, not coffee."
With the poll gap narrowing sharply in the final days, the gender issue could be crucial. Rina Bar-Tal, chairwoman of the Israel Women's Network, told my colleague Allyn Fisher-Ilan that Likud's poster jibe at Livni that "the job is too big for her" - with clear emphasis on the final pronoun - could backfire on Netanyahu. Bar-Tal said: "There are women who pass by these posters and say, 'I wasn't going to vote for her but I certainly will now.'"
So is Tzipi Livni the man of the hour? If she makes it through, she can always recall what Israel's founding father David Ben-Gurion said of Golda Meir: "She's the only man in the cabinet."

WordPress 3.6 is coming soon. The next version of WordPress is currently in its first beta version so it is possible features and code may change over the next month. If you would like to play around with the beta version of WordPress 3.6 you can do so right now. I would advise to NOT use the beta version on a live site right now and just play around with it on a test site.
The easiest way to access the beta version of WordPress is to install the WordPress Beta Tester plugin on your WordPress site. (Download -> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/) Once you activate this plugin, go to the plugins settings page and choose the Bleeding Edge option. WordPress will then tell you to update your site and faster than the Road Runner escaping Wiley Coyote you will be using the Beta version of WordPress.
This next version of WordPress is full of great new enhancements and features, some that are still being debated and argued about, and a few head scratchers. Let's take a quick look at some of the things coming in WordPress 3.6.
Post Locking
This is a great feature (and something that has been needed for a long time) for multi-author sites. If you attempt to edit a post that is currently being edited by someone else, WordPress will now alert you to that fact and give you a few options about what you can do. This will prevent all those annoying "overwriting because I didn't know you were editing" responses from users.
A new Auto-Save Concept
With WordPress 3.6, there will now be an autosave every 15 seconds on your "local machine". Mark Jacquith (the lead on 3.6) dreamed that there would be a world where WordPress could protect your content against a slew of evils like:
- expired cookies
- loss of connection
- hitting the wrong browser button
- having a plugin go haywire on you
- having core WordPress go to a dark place on you
- having a browser crash
- having an OS crash
- having a pet find great relief on your computer
- surviving a drooling baby
And I believe with this new enhancement in WordPress 3.6, it will also help autosave your content in case of a zombie attack!
Post Revisions
While the new post revisions capabilities are much better, I still think we've got a ways to go to get it to the full capabilities of what WordPress could offer. But for now we are moving in the right direction and its a solid direction.
Post Format UI Change
WordPress 3.6 now pushing Post Formats (referred to by some as Tumblr-like Blogging) to the forefront of the Post Edit screen. There are plenty of debates and arguments still going on in the WordPress ecosystem. Not everyone agrees that this needs to be pushed to the forefront of the Post Edit screen and should be enabled…disabled by the Theme itself, not by WordPress. Currently in the latest Beta version, the theme has NO choice in the matter of whether or not it will show the Post Format options. They simply appear, even if the theme isn't supporting any of the styling and such.
While, on the big picture side of things, the work the WordPress team has done on the Post Format UI is great. The implementation is what is being debated. I love seeing the Post Edit screen options change based on the Post Format that is chosen. But this bring up a HUGE question. When we get right down to the base level… What is the real difference between Post Formats and Custom Post Types? Aren't Post Formats just a form of Custom Post Types? Anyway, it will be interesting to see the final implementation and to see what theme developers do in supporting this new feature.
New Menus…huh?
The new Menu settings in WordPress 3.6 did get a cleaned up interface, but I'm not sure of the rational of moving the locations to its own tab other than someone got it in their mind that it was what was needed. Which begs the question… Did any actual user REQUEST this change? If not… why the change?
Native Support for Video and Audio
Two great additions to WordPress 3.6 come in the ability to natively upload and embed your own video and audio files. Check out the discussion here. (http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/04/08/audio-video-support-in-core/)
One More Thing… A New Theme
The new Twenty Thirteen theme is a good looking blog-centric theme. And its interesting to see how far to the other end of the spectrum this theme is from the more corporate/professional feel of the previous Twenty Twelve theme.
So all-in-all there is a ton of stuff to look forward to in WordPress 3.6. What features are you looking forward to use in the next version of WordPress? What would you like to see in future versions of WordPress?

FOX 10's Kari Lake was out Saturday night proudly hosting the 14th annual holiday Festival of Trees.
The event raises money for the Arizona Burn Foundation.
Special guest JR Martinez, a burn survivor, joined Kari. The Iraq war veteran gained notoriety on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."
He talked to Kari about the day his Humvee caught fire in Iraq.
"All of a sudden, my front left tire runs over a land mine, a road side bomb and literally, here I am trapped inside the truck, yelling and screaming at the top of my lungs," he said.
Martinez says he heard his sister's voice, telling him he was needed -- then he was pulled from the flames.
He is now a motivational speaker, helping burn survivors.
The Arizona Burn Foundation benefits several programs, including the Arizona Children's Burn Camp, Forever Courage House and social services for burn survivors and their families.

Platonic Solids
more ...
There are five Platonic Solids.
Each one is a polyhedron (a solid with flat faces)
They are special because every face is a regular polygon of the same size and shape.
Example: each face of the cube is a square.
They are also convex (no "dents" or indentations in them).
They are named after Plato, a famous Greek philosopher and mathematician.

6 free ways to protect your ID
Identity theft affects millions, costs billions and is a nightmare to sort out. But you can get protection -- and it's free.
This post comes from Brandon Ballenger at partner site Money Talks News.
Earlier this year, I was a victim of identity theft. Nearly $500 was sucked out of my bank account by a Chinese business I had never heard of. My bank restored the money, but I still don't know how it happened.
That's small potatoes. A new Treasury Department report says the Internal Revenue Service may have paid out as much as $5 billion in tax refunds to ID thieves who filed fraudulent returns last year and projects $21 billion in similar losses to ID theft over the next five years.
The Federal Trade Commission estimates that there are as many as 9 million victims of ID theft every year. It's been the FTC's top consumer complaint for 12 years running.
What can you do? A lot. In the video below, Stacy Johnson explains a free, five-minute way to protect yourself from identity theft. Check it out, then read on for more details.
Many companies are looking to help consumers protect their identities -- for a price. You could pay some heavily advertised service $10 to $25 a month, or you can do what Stacy recommended in the video and use these strategies:
Add a fraud alert
A fraud alert placed on your credit file lasts 90 days. It requires potential creditors to use what the law refers to as "reasonable policies and procedures" to verify your identity before issuing credit in your name.
You sign up by filling out an online form. Your request is then sent to all three credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
You're supposed to use a fraud alert only if you think your information may have been compromised. According to the FTC:
You may ask that an initial fraud alert be placed on your credit report if you suspect you have been, or are about to be, a victim of identity theft. An initial alert is appropriate if your wallet has been stolen or if you've been taken in by a "phishing" scam.
But when the security of credit card information is so often compromised, many people probably feel justified in believing they could become a victim of identity theft.
Establishing a fraud alert is quick and easy, but it needs to be renewed every 90 days. There are all sorts of ways to remind yourself to do that.
If you've already been a victim of identity theft, you can get an extended fraud alert (.pdf file) by mailing a form, along with several identifying documents and a police report.
While fraud alerts are useful, they're not ironclad. They'll protect you from someone opening new credit in your name, but they won't help if a crook has your existing credit card information. They also can't prevent someone from opening accounts that don't require a credit check, like a bank account.
Get a credit freeze
More secure than a fraud alert is a credit freeze. This prevents anyone -- including you -- from opening a new line of credit until you remove it, a process that can take several days. It's not for everyone, and in some cases it may not be free. It's generally free for ID theft victims, but policies and fees vary by state.
You can learn more about your state's rules on freezing credit at the Consumers Union website.
Watch your credit
Identity theft protection packages often add a "credit monitoring service." But you can already check your credit report for free once a year from each of the big three credit reporting agencies. Just go to AnnualCreditReport.com.
Although the reports from each credit bureau are different, they'll mostly contain the same information. So check throughout the year by staggering them. You could space them out evenly at four months apart, or align them with your three-month fraud alert renewals so you remember to do both.
Guard your privacy
Many people put way too much personal information online, and criminals can often find ways to use it to their advantage (including to help "recover" your passwords). Understand the privacy settings on all your accounts, don't use the same password for everything, and don't browse sensitive sites on public Wi-Fi.
Offline, shred mail with personal identifiers, especially anything with an account number. Opt out of junk mail by going to OptOutPrescreen.com or calling (888) 567-8688 to have your name removed from direct marketing lists. That won't get rid of everything, but it will make a serious dent.
Lastly, don't give out or "confirm" personal information through unsolicited contact. Scammers pretend to be people you do business with. If you're contacted about a supposed problem with an account, independently look up contact information for that company to avoid fake email addresses and phone numbers.
Spend securely
Online shopping is convenient and gives a lot of independent retailers the chance to be competitive. But make sure they're taking the precautions you'd expect with your financial details. Research companies you're not familiar with, and look for the "https://" (note the s, for secure) protocol in front of a website address in your browser. It will often appear with a lock symbol next to it. If the merchant doesn't use HTTPS, see if they have a secure checkout option such as PayPal.
Study statements
Along with your credit report, you should take a regular look at your bank and credit card accounts to spot any unusual transactions. It used to be that this was only possible monthly. Now the Internet and smartphones make it easy to do it as often as you want.
I do it every other day. In fact, that's how I discovered that someone in China was raiding my checking account.

Confessions of a Michael Stipe
"It's only been six months," longtime R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe says quietly. "So it's really hard to even figure out who I am." The 52-year-old is of course referring to life after his band, who — after three decades, 15 albums, and a meteoric rise from indie icons to mainstream superstars — announced they planned to "call it a day."
"It's pretty wild," Stipe says. "I have this sensation that I've never felt … It's kind of a newfound freedom."
It was the end of an era, and not only for Stipe, but for anyone who'd grown up with REM. And yet, even as Stipe soul-searches, he is making some of the most creative work of his life. He's got a studio in downtown Manhattan, where he is creating bronze sculptures of old cameras and cassette tapes. He's producing a documentary about Internet fame. He (was) on Instagram, until a few weeks ago, when he proclaimed he did not want "any part" of Facebook "up in my grill." And he has a crazy, beautiful, eccentric Tumblr — Confessions of a Michael Stipe — that he uses as a scrapbook to document it all. We sat down with Stipe at the Tumblr offices (among many giddy staffers) to get inside his head.
Michael Stipe takes on Drake with subtlety. Michael Stipe has an uncanny ability to be so incredibly honest about his life's interests that you can't help but be behind him %100.
Also he is soo cute.

Grocery Store News: New Piggly Wiggly Organized by How Shoppers "Think"
A new Piggly Wiggly store opened in Myrtle Beach, SC, last month, and it is laid out in an unconventional way.
Instead of the traditional model — produce on one side, dairy in the back — the store is organized by how shoppers think about meals, according to an article in Gourmet News. Cereal is stocked next to the milk. Canned and fresh fruits and vegetables are in the same area...
We frequently write out our grocery list by grouping items from the same section of the store. That way, we're not running back and forth from the meat department to the produce section. And even when we do list things according to a recipe, it's not likely that they'd logically be stocked together in this type of store. Say we're buying ingredients for a pasta salad. We doubt Piggly Wiggly is putting rotini in the produce section for just that occasion.
At the same time, busy parents who are grabbing Cheerios might not remember they're out of milk until they see it next to the cereal. The store also has meal stations where, for example, ingredients for an Italian-style meal (plus wine) are grouped together.
We'd have to see it to issue a real verdict, and we called a family member who lives nearby, but she hasn't visited yet. Her response: "People are creatures of habit. I tend to shop the way I'm used to shopping." Very true indeed.
So, does this sound like a good idea? Does grocery store organization need shaking up?
We'd love to hear from any Myrtle Beach-area readers who might have visited the store. Also, you can watch a YouTube video tour of the store here:

I'm used to shopping around the perimeter of a store-- fresh produce, fish or meats, dairy, fresh bread, with occasional forays into the middle for things like olive oil or grains. So I think I would find it harder to have everything mixed up. I also shop with a list, so it's not like I forget what I need. There's something about this that makes me think the store's not laid out around how shoppers think, but what encourages them to buy more.
It sounds like a case of add-on selling or up-selling, like when you buy shoes and the clerk asks you if you need socks too.
I think that V in Boston's answer is dead on. The store is simply trying to get around a smart consumer's thinking pattern of "avoid the middle".
I seriously doubt that they're trying to help my little pea brain and make it 'easier'. Easier as in 'more lucrative for them' perhaps.
I'm all for anything that involves out of the box thinking, therefore I'm all about this experiment in merchandising. Retailers have been so rigidly locked into the idea that they have to arrange the staples around the perimeter with the idea that because customers have to walk past everything else to get to the staples they will buy more stuff they didn't come in for, and for no reason other than because a bunch of other retailers called it a "best practice." I hope it works.
I'm also always amused at the griping over merchants trying to make money and therefore stay in business, by getting people to buy more. Perhaps by arranging things in this way, not only will it encourage customers to buy more, but it will get consumers who tend to only buy the processed "in the middle" foods to pick up more fresh and quality foods by the same upselling process.
Wow! That is NOT the Piggly Wiggly I remember!
I miss the Pig! umm, frozen boiled peanuts...

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Authorities in Milwaukee are looking for a stolen car that contained a flash drive of important information.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says the flash drive contains personal information on 6,000 city employees and about 3,000 spouses or partners.
The car stolen belonged to a Dynacare employee, a health care firm contracted with the city. The car was stolen on October 22, along with a purse containing the important flash drive.
Mayor Barrett says he is upset with the company because the city did not find out about the incident until Friday and that personal information was on a flash drive.
The city is planning corrective measures to prevent the incident from ever happening again.
