With his failed Iraq policy crumbling around him, an embattled President George W. Bush Tuesday pleaded for more time from a growing list of Republican dissenters, a skeptical Democratic Congress and a disillusioned American public.
As Bush stubbornly claims his lost war can still be won, more Americans and Iraqis died in an attack inside the heavily-fortified Green Zone and a roadside bomb today destroyed a military Hummer, killing or wounding an undisclosed number of soldiers.
Yet as the carnage mounts, Bush stubbornly refuses to budge on Iraq and refuses to admit failure in a war that just about everyone else says is lost.
Reports AFP:
Facing the most potent attack yet from Congress on the war as his political influence dims, Bush said generals on the battlefield must decide troop strength, not frustrated politicians in Washington.
But Democrats fired up a new assault on US war strategy with a demand for troop withdrawals within four months, with most combat troops to be home by the end of next April. Bush has already vetoed a timeline-based approach.
The president told a friendly audience of business leaders in the Midwestern state of Ohio that he had a "plan to lead to victory" despite a bloody three-month period of US combat deaths and raging violence in Iraq.
While criticizing Iraq's government for not doing enough to promote reconciliation, Bush asked lawmakers to wait for the US commander in Iraq to deliver a key progress report on his troop surge strategy, due in September.
"I call upon the United States Congress to give General David Petraeus a chance to come back and tell us whether his strategy is working, and then we can work together on a way forward," Bush said.
Bush spoke days before an interim assessment is due on the operation to surge 30,000 more troops into Iraq, amid reports the Iraqi government has met none of its required political and military targets under the plan.
A poll released Tuesday showed the political logic behind waning Republican enthusiasm for the war: opposition to the war mounted and Bush's approval rating fell to a new low.
Seven in 10 Americans favor removing nearly all US troops from Iraq by April, said the USA Today/Gallup poll. And 62 percent of those surveyed over the weekend said the United States had made a mistake in sending troops to Iraq — the first time that figure exceeded 60 percent.
Only one in five said the troop surge starting in January had improved the situation.
As Bush continues to claim his plan is working, violence in Iraq continues to mount.
Writes Jay Deshmukh of AFP:
Insurgents opened fire on the heavily fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad Tuesday, killing at least three people, as US President George W. Bush rejected a new wave of opposition to his strategy for the strife-torn country.
The US embassy in the Green Zone "is currently aware of three fatalities: a US military service member, an Iraqi citizen, and a third-country national of unknown nationality," a statement from the US state department said.
It said that "multiple rounds of indirect fire" were launched at the zone, but did not give further details.
The walled area also houses the British embassy and the Iraqi parliament, and it has been regularly attacked in recent weeks.
The latest attack came hours after gunmen in civilian cars opened fire on Iraqi policemen manning a checkpoint near the restive town of Samarra, killing five, according to police Captain Riyad Yussef.

I think we are seeing a President who has no concept of the reality of what he has done. He has visions of Caesar moving around the world claiming spoils and killing his enemies. He has made 9/11 the excuse for another crusade and he somehow believes he represents the good things in the world.
He has rubbed America into the sores of other nations and then wonders why we are hated. Even we Americans despise his actions and arrogance but he keeps on going with renewed batteries and is killing our reputation all over the planet.
We elected politicians to put a stop to this arrogance but they did not have the strength or intelligence to see where Buah and his neoconservatives went wrong.
Lying and abuse of power are accepted as common actions in our government and the American brain is being driven by faith, not constitutional laws.
I'm not convinced that America will ever be restored and that our White House has done a job on all of us making us the target for every terrorist movement on the earth. We will have to get used to it and hopefully be more careful when we find ourselves guided by the faith-based citizens instead of our American-loving voters.
We are being driven by a movement to bring on the end of times under one man.
In the above article it stated "disillusioned American public"….what the hell does that mean? WOW!!! If someone is trying to impress me (I suspect not) they definitely did with that puke. I'm not even going to start, its already been said a thousand times plus. Some people see them as idiots and some see them as "knowing what they are doing". I agree with both, ie. idiots that know exactly what they are all about.
"But" and those dam "buts" will get you every dam time. You, me or anyone that has knowledge of this scam tries to tell one of the (local yokles) who live primarily in their (ON) little (me first) f**king worlds….well good luck sucker.
Again is their enough, is it soon enough and will it last? Don't bother asking me, you know my answer. Besides, I just took (2) blessed (ativan) and in a few minutes I want/want to kill these bastards. A nice (legal) heart attack would be welcome though for most of our wonderful leaders, I might even fake a tear or two.
I don't blame Bush so much as the royal and imperial institution of the Presidency as framed by the founding fatheads.

I marveled as Bush moved about in front of his Cleveland based audience yesterday. The audience seemed to be all overdosed on Prozac or would have to be in order to give this guy the respect he gets at these staged gatherings. They all had an emoticon "Smiley Face" demeanor. Maybe they are all paid shills that travel in a follow-up plane wherever he goes to give him hand-clap support? Come to think of it I'm beginning to see the same faces in the audience no matter where he shows up. They even have uniforms if they wish to stage a military hand-clap gathering. Truly both ingenius and Orwellian at the same time… :))

It's tempting to believe the bottom 29%ers don't exist but I live in NC and I'm sorry to say that they do exist. I see them every day. They are the admirers of Miss AnnThrowPee Coulter and Rush and the rest…they keep their tv set to Fox where they hear things are going better every day for the lucky Iraqis whom we are helping to rid of a Satanic regime.
They believe the democrats are trying to pull the rug of victory from under their dear president by bringing our troops home before they can achieve victory for the USA. They believe the democrats are only doing this out of bipartisan hatred for the republicans.
They never read or watch anything that doesn't reinforce their own fantasies. They believe left wing liberal bias has infected every other news media except their beloved Foxnews. They see themselves, their truths, and their patriotism as victims of the elite liberal educated class. They despise public education and consistently vote against raising taxes to improve it. Many of these people receive some type of government aid themselves, yet they despise the people who suck on the government tit. Many of them believe the neocons are instruments of God who will bring the world to the brink of Armageddon. They believe they will be taken up to heaven in the Rapture before the ultimate destruction of the world.
That's who we are up against.
Every morning when I read the news on the current administration, I wonder if this is all a dream.
Wimps, crazies, escaped lunatics, bi-polar individuals, you name it, are holding sway here in America. The cream of the crop of the dysfunctionals is taking this country by storm.
This is beginning to sound like the beginning of the end for all of us here in America, and the hits still keep coming!
When is enough enough? Bush will test everybody's limits until he's impeached and convicted, dies, or whatever. He has not matured by any means, regardless of the fact that he's 61.
This is the result of the dumbing down process we've attained, it amounts to mass Schizophrenia.
Bill Jonke the simple answer is "bad drugs" courtesy of "Big Pharm"…! Sixty million Americans are on fluoride (halogen) based anti-depressants that have been linked to a variety of ill side effects from suicide to mass mayhem and general "vapidity" most associated with "feedlot" animals. People have been turned into semi-vegetative morons that no longer can discern between right and wrong good vs. evil etc.! They've been reduced to consumeristic, ever-hungry for new toy/s mall-rats! Their government is AOK as long as doesn't infringe on the "Right to Shop Until They Drop" their only remaining freedom…!

The American people go wherever the media leads them. That's why the neocons engineered the legislation under Reagan to allow media conglomerates. Now only 6 corporations control all the media. Find yourself some foreign newspapers and compare them to the US news and you will see the difference.
The only way for the people of this country to be informed of the true situation is to change the message from the media. To do that, they would have to reverse the law and force the conglomerates to divest themselves of most of their media holdings. And, of course, revoke the Fox license for falsely masquerading as a news station.

UPDATE: AMBER WEBSITE NOW WORKING – Obama plays POLITICS with LOST CHILDREN, shuts down Amber Alert website
This is unbelievable. The Obama administration has shut down the Amber Alert website because of the government shutdown and it now renders this message when you attempt to access it:
I'm sure you care about your lost child but Obama doesn't – at least not while he's trying to 'win' the government shutdown. I understand from twitter that Amber alerts are state level programs with a federal website. Not real sure how all that works but it just seems unfathomable that this website wouldn't qualify under 'essential', especially when most of the government is still operating.
No, this is just Obama putting politics ahead of you finding your lost child. Despicable.
UPDATE: Michelle Obama's Let's Move website works just fine. Seriously. (h/t: @kesgardner)
UPDATE: Looks like the administration had a change of heart due to the bad publicity this has gotten. It's now back online:

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A Florida woman who provides bloodhounds used by law enforcement and search and rescue teams across the country is in Albany this week. She showed how remarkable her dogs are.
Pam Andrews is well known by search and rescue teams and law enforcement from Florida to North Dakota, because she has donated hundreds of bloodhounds she bred to agencies across the country. This month she is traveling the nation visiting her dogs.
Pam Andrews has bred bloodhounds like this at her kennel in Lake Butler, Florida since 1988, and has donated more than 200 of her beloved puppies to search and rescue teams and law enforcement agencies across the country. This summer she is traveling to visit them.
Andrews said "I've been on vacation visiting the puppies that are working in Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexico, Wyoming, Bismarck, North Dakota, Illinois. All over the country."
Andrews' bloodhounds are credited with finding more than 100 kids in Florida alone. She says the Police Officers need training to use the dogs, but her bloodhounds are born with their tracking ability .
Andrews said "The dogs, they start tracking at 2 weeks old. Because they track the Mom to find the food. By the time they leave my home, they start working like at 8 weeks, the officer starts training."
Andrews proves it with Binx, a six month old female bloodhound. With Binx down the street, she has a woman stand on the sidewalk, and then walk away and hide. Then she shows Binx that spot.
Andrews said "There's probably been about 25 people through that shop today with dogs, and she did not pay attention to all those scents. She just knew what she was looking for from where she was standing. And knew that was who she had to go find."
Andrews is proud of her bloodhounds, who have found many lost kids and alzheimer patients across the nation and she says they all remember her as she travels to visit them.
Andrews is in Albany visiting two of her puppies, now owned by Joey Adams at Pampered Pets.
Andrews is working with two groups started by parents of kidnapped children, Child Protection Education of America, and the Jimmy Ryce Foundation, that help provide search bloodhounds to communities and help find missing kids.

Hi Frank. Welcome to the site. I see you are retired military but are still on the bridge of a ship. Are you now piloting ships in the private sector?
Mindy, you have the right attitude and are also talking the correct path regarding you daughter. She needs to focus on herself right now and I wish her the best.
Thanks, Joan. The deed is done. I just worry that the cat she gave my daughter could have gotten it, and then passed it along to my cats. The Vet said she may or may not have gotten it, but some cats can just live with it for years and years. He said lets not test her, because there would be nothing we could do about it anyway. My daughter leaves for her new University on Friday, and she does NOT need to think about this. She needs all her mental energy to finish school. We aren't going to tell her that it was Feline Leukemia. She will worry so much, she'll get depressed again, and the whole bad cycle will start again. Nobody knows how much time they have anyway. Not a person, nor a cat. We just all have to find something that makes us happy each day. That's all I can handle! :)

Publication: theday.com
New London — Robert Kearney of Mystic had just left his doctor's office Wednesday morning and was heading home when he spotted two people dressed in religious vestments standing by the train station.
A sandwich board in front of Grace Barnum and Ron Steed, both parishioners of St. James Episcopal Church, read "Ashes to Go."
Kearney pulled over his car and stood before Steed, who dipped his thumb into a small jar and smudged the sign of the cross in ashes on Kearney's forehead.
"I've never seen this before, but I think it's outstanding," said Kearney, who attends St. Patrick Church in Mystic. "The way the world is going, 'round and 'round and 'round, I think it's good they're keeping up."
Kearney, who said he wanted ashes but wasn't sure of the hours they would be offered at his own church, was one of several people who took advantage of the St. James program aimed at helping Christians observe the first day of Lent.
Lent, the six weeks leading up to Easter Sunday, is a time of repentance and reflection for Christians and is marked by prayer and fasting. The ashes, which are made from palms from the previous year's Palm Sunday observance, remind believers of their mortality.
"This is another way to engage people,'' said Steed, who is a layperson but was dressed in traditional black-and-white religious robes. "We thought we'd take church to the people."
Once the ashes are blessed — Steed was using a jar of ashes consecrated by the Rev. Michel Belt, pastor of St. James — any lay person can dispense them, he said.
"No special powers are needed to give out ashes,'' he said.
There are many people, he said, who want to participate in church but are busy.
"And some folks aren't ready to go back to church yet, but they're thinking about it,'' he said.
In addition to dispensing ashes, Steed and Barnum also handed out brochures explaining Ash Wednesday.
Although it was the first time St. James offered ashes outside of its Federal Street church, Ashes to Go is a national movement that began in 2007 in St. Louis, Mo., according to ashestogo.org. It was a way to encourage churches to bring the ritual to the public rather than wait for people to come into the church.
Across the country Wednesday, clergy and lay people were on street corners and outside coffee shops. In Madison, Wis., drive-thru ashes were offered at busy intersections. Drivers did not have to get out of their cars.
"We want people to think about Lent,'' said Steed as he waited on the sidewalk. "To think about things they might be sorry for."

Developer seeks views on housing proposal in Wychwoods (From thisisoxfordshire)

Developer seeks views on proposed homes in Milton-under-Wychwood
Updated 8:30pm Friday 20th June 2014 in News
RESIDENTS of Milton-under-Wychwood will have the chance to have a say tomorrow about a proposal to build about 70 houses at the south-west end of the village.
Developer Sharba Homes is holding a consultation event at Milton's village hall, in Shipton Road, from 10.30am to 3pm, to outline its ideas and hear people's opinions.
The company is carrying out the consultation before making a planning application to West Oxfordshire District Council.
Anyone who cannot attend the event can find out about the plans and comment online at miltonunderwychwoodconsultation.co.uk

WestOxBill says...
But none of that affects the clear perception that these proposals, despite supposedly having the input of a former senior WODC planning officer, are shockingly
incompetent and poorly thought through. They are proposing to site over 70 houses at an end of the village that is served by only by congested village
residential roads or single track unclassified roads, on a green-field site within an AONB that for very good reasons has never been proposed in the Local Plans. It seems that there is no limit to the depth of incompetence people will sink to in order to satisfy their greed. Shambles Homes should drop it now. The Witney Gazette would also do well not to misrepresent what the developer did in Milton as any kind of genuine consultation. They are not remotely interested in the views of the villagers.

The Greenest Thumb! Contest: Michele's Garden Getaway
Name: Michele
Location: Carroll Gardens
Size: 14x28 + 8x20
Favorite Resource: My favorite resources for perennial plants are Gowanus Nursery and the BBG plant sale. For annuals nothing beats the local farmers markets in Union Sq, Grand Army Plaza and Borough Hall.
"When we moved into our apartment in Carroll Gardens 4 years ago, the backyard had one bush, was overgrown with ivy and the side bed was filled with white marble chips and a 100 saplings growing from seeds blown in from a neighboring tree. But even then we could see the potential. ...." [more below]
(The space is about 14x28 feet plus a side bed of 8x 20. It includes a small upper deck and a larger lower deck. )
It's taken a lot of work to get the garden to where it is today. We did it ourselves and worked on a budget. We slowly accumulated plants and containers over the years. We built out the raised bed which involved pulling out all the saplings, digging out much of the white marble chips, bringing in two by fours through the apartment to build up the height of the side bed and dragging in more than 50 bags of dirt to amend the soil.
Design: In terms of design, there were several missteps but I found approaching it like designing a room worked well. I created two distinct spaces. On the upper deck, we have two retro metal chairs and a small table (not visible from the overhead view but seen in the view from the kitchen window), ideal for drinking coffee in the morning. On the lower deck, we have a larger dining area plus our BBQ which is great for entertaining.
I included focal points and structural elements – the large fern in the blue container against the back wall, a tall pot of impatiens in the far left shady corner to draw the eye into the corner and to make the space feel larger, the circular pot of pink annuals in the middle of the raised beds on top of some of the remains of the marble chips.
I also included some elements of whimsy – the fountain on the upper deck, the wind mobile and the Brancusi sculpture along the back wall.
Plants: There are too many plants to list but some of my favorites are the pink spirea bushes, hostas, the pink Japanese climbing hydrangea vine along the back wall, salvia, catmint, and clematis. I also love the white heliotrope that I planted in the window boxes outside the kitchen.
On a warm day, when the wind blows in the right direction, I can smell the vanilla scent of the heliotrope while I'm in the kitchen.
We feel very fortunate to have a get away in the city that is right outside our door. And we are grateful to all our friends who have pitched in and taken care of the plants when we go away.

I shudder to think how long it takes to water and maintain all of those plants, but your garden is beautiful!
Thank you everyone. Sydney - it does take about 15 minutes every morning to water all the plants and usually about an hour of maintenance each weekend. It's why I'm so grateful to friends and neighbors when we go away. But I find the work relaxing and it truly is a labor of love. Plus we enjoy it so much in the summer.
Absolutely stunning and tranquil at the same time.
Utterly georgeous. This is the city garden space that I dream about having.
It's absolutely beautiful!
Yeah the Gardens of Carroll!!!!!!Nice.
That's the best little garden arrouuuund
Absolutely beautiful. What a great place to entertain, too!
Over the last few months I have been frantically researching ways of enhancing my back yard space and your setup is simply exquisite. Beautiful to say the least! Although the upkeep must be difficult to manage at times, the peace and relaxation it provides is probably well worth it. Well done, indeed!
michele, where did you get the rocks/pebbles? I need a lot of them for my balcony and I only see them available in small bags. Any cheap, um I mean inexpensive recommendations?
Also, is that mosaic in the last photo a fountain? Where did you get it?
Love the overhead shot of the Young's Weeping Birch on the upper deck.
Well done in every respect.
An outstanding mix of flowering and non-flowering plants helps to create a very attractive environment. Just the place to sip that scotch on the rocks after a tough day in the concrete jungle!
Oh wow! A true oasis.
Carroll Gardens has got this contest won! I'm so moving to Brooklyn.
I so miss having an honest place to garden, which is what makes your special green haven all the more enjoyable. Congratulations!

i wish you had asked me 3 years ago when we were hauling out bags of the white marble chips from the side bed. what you see is what we have left.
the mosaic fountain we got from a Moroccan type store that used to be in the back of Chelsea Market. i think it is still there in a smaller space. they had a number of fountains in a variety of colors and sizes. the one we got was one of the smaller ones.
good luck with your balcony.
Japanese climbing hydrangea. *Sigh*. Yay for Caroll Gardeners!
Your garden makes me want to shed this silly skin and fly like a japanese climbing hydrangea. Your garden is Solid Gold, baby.
Amazing. Everything you touch looks loved.
What a lovely garden. I wish that my garden was as lovely. You get top marks, well done!
Definitely the best I've seen in the competition, but not exactly the hipster post-modernist aesthetic so beloved of apartment therapy voters, apparently. (Wheat grass finalist, ahem.) I especially like the wall in teh second picture. Your garden belongs in Fine Gardening!
Your garden is lovely. Lush without being overpowering and serene in every way. Beautiful!

Men's Health readers embarrass themselves by voting Jennifer Aniston as sexiest woman ever
Readers of Men's Health have risked general humiliation by voting former Friends star and serial movie mishitter Jennifer Aniston as the sexiest woman of all time.
menshealth.com published the results of a survey with its verdict of the 100 sexiest women of all time, ranked.
And somewhat amazingly Aniston, who ever Irish lad fancied when she was quite funny about 12 years ago, came out on top.
Not only did she crush love rival Angelina Jolie, who came in in 10th spot, but she also trumped every other female star in the history of stardom.
If her top-rank status is a little difficult to believe, further undermining the results of the poll is the fact that Britney Spears and Madonna also made the top five.
Men's Health Top 10 Sexiest Women of All Time
1. Jennifer Aniston
2. Raquel Welch
3. Marilyn Monroe
4. Britney Spears
5. Madonna
6. Ursula Andress
7. Betty Page
8. Pamela Anderson
9. Jane Fonda
10. Angelina Jolie

Amazon takes on Netflix with streaming video
Amazon Prime will offer on-demand content to premium members.
By Anthony John Agnello, InvestorPlace.com
Amazon.com (AMZN) has always embraced new technology in its never-ending pursuit of consumers' digital dollars. From its one-stop retail model to its Kindle electronic reader, Amazon continues to break ground in the modern retail business.
But it has had a few notable blunders in its quest to remain the dominant shopping site for Americans. When music made the jump from CD to MP3, Apple (AAPL) and its iTunes all but cornered the market in 2003. Amazon didn't open its own MP3 store until late 2007. And as Netflix (NFLX) has revolutionized the home video biz via online streaming, Amazon has been left in the dust selling DVDs and the occasional downloadable movie with nary a streaming title to be seen.
But at least on the streaming video front, the online retailer is looking to make up lost ground. Amazon.com is overhauling its premium shopping service to help it evolve into an on-demand, instant video streaming service akin to Netflix.
Rather than start up a new brand and service for streaming, Amazon is using its premium Prime membership service as a springboard. Technology blog Engadget ran a story over the weekend saying an unnamed Amazon Prime member could suddenly access on-demand streaming video among Amazon's other Video On Demand options.
A screen shot of the option reads: "Your Amazon Prime membership now includes unlimited commercial-free, instant streaming of 5,000 movies and TV shows at no additional cost." The option was quickly removed from Amazon's pages and the company declined to comment, but reports this week indicate that the sneak peek will become a reality very soon.
Leveraging Prime as a Netflix competitor is a wise move, as there is a built-in audience of loyal Amazon.com surfers to fuel the first push. Also, this will help Amazon win more physical-goods sales if it works.
The $79-per-year service has traditionally offered users shipping discounts like free two-day shipping on every order. If Amazon could lure Netflix customers away with a cheaper service -- a Netflix Instant Streaming subscription costs $95.88 per year when you add up the monthly fees -- and a broader selection of titles, Amazon Plus could be the next big thing for the company.

And the marketing potential is enormous. Just imagine you watch the first few seasons of "The Office" by streaming them on Amazon Prime. When the latest season debuts on DVD, you get an e-mail or a coupon to buy it. Netflix simply can't compete with that model without launching a retail storefront.
Though the initial report of just 5,000 titles would indicate Amazon Prime will lag behind Netflix, other evidence suggests Amazon is working fast to bolster its streaming video content library.
In September, The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon was in talks with Viacom (VIA), Time Warner (TWX) and others to provide television content to its rumored "Netflix competitor." The company also purchased the remaining shares of Lovefilm International, a U.K.-based video rental and streaming video service similar to Netflix, earlier this month.

Amazon seems to have all the pieces in place necessary to take on Netflix. All that's left now is to see where the audience goes.

Rats on Cocaine
Possibly the most evil cartoon series on the planet.
It's a series!
Ytown Public
Be sure not to miss all the wild adventures happening at this school!
Welcome to Téléfrançais, a show about two children as they try to grasp onto the concept of a french speaking pineapple who lives in a junkyard. They learn life lessons as they meet his random friends, including a pilot named pilote and a skeleton band.
This is a parody collab of the show "Téléfrançais", the premise being described above. This is the first collab I've ever directed, but I did my best to make sure all the entrees had good qualities to them. You can watch it with subtitles if you don't know french, as the subtitles are translated to english. Most of this animation is in english, however. You can turn usernames on or off, though leaving them on is fine as they only show up during the beginning of each skit. There's a scrapbook with pages by most of the artists and plenty of secrets hidden by a very special lock. Shouldn't be too hard to crack if you look around, though.
Coincidentally enough, the scene select marks a new feature. Here, not only can you play any scene, you can set up a playlist on the clock for it to play back to you. Just keep picking numbers (a graphic that goes with the scene shows you which scene is which) and it'll set up the playlist. If you select more than 12, the playlist resets and you go back to one. You may even be able to unlock things using this...
(alright, if you're having trouble finding the secrets, go to "collabs.bobert-rob.com" and go to the 'secrets' section of this collab)
So that's that. The main movie runs at about 8 minutes, but there's plenty of stuff to delve into, so be prepared to spend a bit of time on it. I hope you guys enjoy this, as we all had a blast making it. Well, most of us did... I think. Well, whatever, enjoy and drop a comment.
my childhood right thuuur
Oh gosh, we had to watch like an entire season of this in my fourth grade french class. I never would have expected anyone to make a collab about it.. but that was spot on ! and hilarious ! merci pour ca chose.
"Luckilly we can teleport"
I Loved this, good work.
phoque mon coq!
This is in Tom Fulps favorites... this flash is the most twisted thing iv see all day!!!
Is it? I didn't even check. Insane. It is pretty messed up, eh? :D
This was fucking awesome. I loved every minute of it, particularly the beginning that showcased how things are in Canada (well, to a point). You even included those skeletons, even if they weren't playing their guitars. If you plan on doing a sequel, include that clown (Sol) from that other show which name escapes me at the moment.

"The bagels are terrible. …The city's flat and ugly, and the air's brown."
"If the intelligence, discipline, and hard work that Colbert invested in The Character can be brought to bear on revitalizing the variety show, then the polity's loss may turn out to be the culture's gain. If Colbert can truly reinvent the genre, if he has the freedom and the inclination to blow it up and build on the rubble, then perhaps The Character will not have died in vain."

Overlooked niches
Goldstein owns a daycab with a 20-foot tank permanently mounted, and he pulls a 28-foot tanker in addition. The truck tank holds 4,100 gallons of gasoline and 3,900 gallons of diesel, while the tanker holds 4,900 gallons of gas and 3,900 gallons of diesel.
His drives 250 to 350 miles on a typical day. He delivers to fuel stations, commercial facilities, trucking companies and farms in the Central Valley. Deliveries to stations in upscale residential areas are during the day, while hauls to car washes are made after hours.
"A lot of people contacting me on my Facebook page have no idea you can be an owner-operator in the petroleum industry," says Goldstein. He earns 86 percent of gross revenue, usually clearing $60,000 to $65,000 a year. The typical petroleum trucker is a company driver, and those on hourly pay make $19 to $22 an hour, he estimates.
Nonetheless, Goldstein says the turnover is high. Many potential drivers wash out before completing training because it's detailed and demands physical intensity. "It's not for everyone," he says.
Produce, cheese and sausage specialist
DuWayne Marshall specializes in LTL in both directions of his roundtrip from Wisconsin to California. Heading west he hauls mostly cheese and sausage, typically making six to 14 stops, the majority in California. After unloading, he begins his pickups of produce in the state and in Arizona for the return path.
"I have a broker who [arranges] loads for me going to California," Marshall says. "The produce coming back is all my own deal. I have my own receiver [a chain of five grocery stores in Wisconsin] and a few brokers I use to fill in the empty spots. I literally go shopping for this guy."
On one recent trip, Marshall started in Los Angeles, headed north to Salinas and Watsonville, drove to other produce areas near Fresno, turned south to Coachella and finally to Yuma, Ariz. "I started loading Wednesday at noon and made my final pickup at midnight Friday in Yuma. This time of year you're picking up peaches, nectarines, strawberries and cherries. I had 1,029 miles of pickups," he says. "The load paid $7,480 coming home."
Other operators do similar LTL pickups of California wine. They stop for several cases at a time, Marshall says.
His strong earnings – $86,000 last year – allow him to drive a 2010 Kenworth T660 and a 2008 reefer with a sliding spread axle.
However, his specialty requires hard work. Occasionally, Marshall says, he has to load and unload with a pallet jack. Sometimes he has to stack products by hand to make everything fit in the trailer. Even with the reefer running, it's hot in the summer with the trailer door open. The main reward is the superior pay.
Whether it's the physical labor, multiple stops or trailer investment, Marshall believes his niche doesn't appeal to big carriers or most operators. "I can't compete with the big guys – I don't have 5,000 trailers that I can drop," he says. "I have to have something where I'm making money. It has to be something the big boys can't or won't do."
Plant transporter
Bobby Lohmeier has been trucking for 35 years, 33 as an owner-operator. Transporting meat and cheese from Wisconsin to the West Coast and hauling house plants back to the Midwest, Lohmeier earns $2.20 to $2.40 a mile. He's been running this business on his own since 2002.

EAST LANSING (WKZO) -- Michigan State University has completed its latest State of the State survey, which gauges the amount of trust that citizens have in their government, among other things. Charles Ballard, with the MSU Institute for Public Policy and Social Research, says the survey found that people have much more trust in their local governments than they do in state or federal government.
He says that could be because most people can actually relate to the individuals who serve in those local bodies. An exception to that rule is in places that are perceived to be poorly run, like Detroit.

Here's a POV video of a fourth grade girl psyching herself up for her first run down an intimidating ski-jump. The tension mounts as she narrates her anxieties and checks in with her instructor for comfort, and the payoff -- a successful run and delighted cheering -- is all the better for it.
Somehow I doubt that Arnold Schwarzenegger's singing voice sounds as good as the guy singing in this comedic spoof, but then again I can barely understand Arnold when he's actually trying to enunciate every word, so I guess a vocal stand-in was necessary.

How Real People Will Use Windows 8
By Alex on Mar 17, 2012 at 10:22 am
Technies are abuzz about Microsoft's Windows 8, its newest operating system that features a completely new "tile" design. Mat Honan of Gizmodo called it a "radical departure from anything Microsoft has done before." He loved it. Michael Miller of PC Magazine's Forward Thinking blog, was less enamored, but thought that the new user interface looked quite good on a tablet. J. Peter Bruzzese of InfoWorld downright hated it, calling the software "Windows Frankenstein."
Millions of people have downloaded the Windows 8 Consumer Preview from Microsoft's website.
But how would real people use Windows 8? Chris Pirillo of Locker Gnome put it to the test by asking his dad to figure it out without any help.
Priceless quote from the clip:
Dad: "Now who puts this out?"
Chris: "Microsoft."
Dad: "They're trying to drive me to Mac?
It's perhaps the most pointed testament of all to just how long The Simpsons has been around that a compilation of all the Itchy & Scratchy "episodes" that have aired throughout the years is over 48 minutes in length.

The life time risk of developing heart failure is estimated at about 20 per cent both men and women.
The lifetime risk of developing heart failure at the age of 40 yrs is 11.4 per cent for men and 15.4 per cent for women.
More than 500,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.
Around 30 to 40 per cent of patients die from heart failure within 1 year afterreceiving the diagnosis.

Currently I'm loading 100 TPCC warehouses in a 2-node galera cluster that I got up and running in maybe 5 minutes. Kudos to the Codership guys for making it super easy to download a single tgz and get evaluating quickly.
Galera, for those not in the know, is a "cluster of mysql instances". Unlike MySQL Cluster, which is really just a storage engine of clustered data storage nodes. Galera is hacked into both the main MySQL engine and Innodb (which is the only storage engine it supports). Galera is fully synchronous, so commits on any MySQL node are applied everywhere in the cluster, at commit (and before the client can proceed). Writes are actually scalable in Galera, to a point, by adding more data nodes because the replication between nodes is RBR, hence each data node doesn't have to assume the CPU expense of processing the SQL every time, each node just has to apply the raw row changes. Obviously this can only scale so far, since each node still has to apply all the transactions, but in theory it should offer something better than 1x.
I ran a quick TPCC test during a slower session at the mysql conference last week and while it worked, Galera does lead to a relatively high number of deadlock rollbacks on client transactions, depending on the workload. In theory this isn't a problem as long as the client can handle it correctly. As Alexey from Codership told me, this particular workload focuses on a relatively small # of rows. Increasing the number of warehouses (I was using 1, I think), may reduce the # of deadlocks (i.e., a bigger database).
Benefits (IMHO):
- It's just MySQL and Innodb, you don't need to throw out a lot of knowledge or worry about compatibility issues with mainline MySQL.
- Some amount of write scaling beyond a single master
- Synchronous replication baby! - turn off innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit, it doesn't matter if it's locally durable anymore. Of course, this doesn't prevent (small) data loss in the event that a power failure suddenly shuts down every node.
Drawbacks (IMHO):
- Extra deadlocks - applications may not be designed to cope with that (though I'd argue that isn't Galera's fault)
- No infinite scalability (but what has it?) - In theory at least, you shouldn't be able to keep throwing nodes at a cluster and expect performance to grow linearly (at least for writes).
- ?? - Waiting to see
Some criteria I'm evaluating:
- Just how far will it scale within colo?
- How well would it work across a WAN (and scale)?
- How well would it fit into Yahoo!'s dual-master, single-writer scheme? (i.e., two clusters in two colos using regular replication, only writing to one of the clusters at a time, just like you can do with MySQL Cluster)
- How nasty is the patch, and how much does it vary from mainline?
Quick update:
I just ran my initial tpcc test and got the following results (100 warehouses, 60 second warmup, 60 second test, 10 clients):
- 2 nodes, only running test against 1: 4864.000 TpmC
- 2 nodes, 10 clients testing each simultaneously: 6164 TpmC - though that's not fair, since there are now 20 clients collectively (there be deadlocks here)
- 2 nodes, 5 clients each (more fair): 5690 TpmC (still deadlocks here)
So, a reasonable performance gain from 1 to two nodes. I just groked the tpcc source and it looks like the test client handles deadlock errors correctly by retrying. I am making an assumption that the TpmC results correctly reflect actual completed transactions only.

Being capable of effectively filtering highly contaminated water in the developing world, the Lifestraw makes a perfect lightweight and compact filter for hikers and campers, as well as a superior filter for emergency preparedness.
The Lifestraw surpasses EPA guidelines for water filtration and is one of the most advanced personal water filters available today.
-Simply place the end of the Lifestraw in water and sip through the mouthpiece.
-To prevent from clogging, regularly blow through the Lifestraw after drinking.
-Length: 9 inches
-Width: 1 inch
-Weight: 2 ounces
-Filter Capacity: 1000 liters
Shelf Life: 3 years
(Shelf life is likely much longer than 3 years, but the manufacturer has not had any Lifestraws in storage more than 3 years due to high demand. There is no reason for the Lifestraw to deteriorate, but they cannot guarantee past 3 years for this reason).

MONDAY, Feb. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Heart attack patients who are
exposed to low-dose radiation from cardiac imaging and other
procedures may have an increased risk of cancer, a new study
Canadian researchers analyzed data from 82,861 patients who
survived a heart attack between April 1996 and March 2006 and had
no history of cancer. Within one year of their heart attack, 77
percent of the patients underwent at least one cardiac procedure
with low-dose ionizing radiation, such as CT angiography and
nuclear scans.
Patients treated by a cardiologist had higher levels of exposure
to radiation than those treated by a general practitioner, the
study authors noted.
During follow-up, there were 12,020 cancers detected among the
patients, with two-thirds of the cancers affecting the
abdomen/pelvis and chest areas.
"We found a relation between the cumulative exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation from cardiac imaging and therapeutic procedures after acute myocardial infarction [heart attack], and the risk of incident cancer," wrote Dr. Louise Pilote, an epidemiology researcher at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (MUHC) in Montreal, and director of the internal medicine division at MUHC, and colleagues.
"Although most patients were exposed to low or moderate levels of radiation, a substantial group were exposed to high levels and in general tended to be younger male patients with fewer comorbidities [co-existing health problems]," they added.
"These results call into question whether our current enthusiasm for imaging and therapeutic procedures after acute myocardial infarction should be tempered," the researchers concluded. "We should at least consider putting into place a system of prospectively documenting the imaging tests and procedures that each patient undergoes and estimating his or her cumulative exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation."
The study appears in the current issue of the
Canadian Medical Association Journal.

Two top 10 teams were upset this week, and to the surprise of few, they were Southern Cal and Georgia.
Members of a Civil War re-enactment group plan to march in the city's Christmas parade on Saturday as they have done for nearly a decade, even though they were shunned by organizers.
City officials scrambled today to work out a compromise between the re-enactors who wear Confederate uniforms and the marching band at historically black Albany State University.
Band director Michael Decuir said last week that his musicians would not participate because he had a "philosophical problem" with the Confederate battle flag that the re-enactors carry in the parade.
Confederate flags have been firing passions throughout the South in recent years, with supporters arguing that they are a symbol of Southern heritage and opponents condemning them as a symbol of slavery and bigotry.
In Georgia, where the Confederate Stars and Bars were dropped from the state flag, there is still simmering unrest over the racially divisive symbol. Confederate heritage groups feel betrayed by Governor Perdue, who signed off on a state flag referendum that does not include the Confederate battle emblem.
Perdue campaigned for office promising to let voters decide on a state flag. The move won him support from Georgians angry at former Governor Roy Barnes, who led a move to shrink the divisive symbol that formerly covered two-thirds of the Georgia state flag.
Blacks account for about 65% of the 77,000 residents in Albany. A few years ago, the town moved its traditional statue of a Civil War soldier from the front of the county courthouse.
The statue now stands in a park on the outskirts of town, where the re-enactors gather on Confederate Memorial Day for speeches and the ceremonial firing of cannons and muskets.

Sharon Horvath: Parts of a Worldby Ben La Rocco
Lori Bookstein Fine Art
October 22 – November 25
Sharon Horvath is exhibiting new paintings at Lori Bookstein Gallery. I never imagined what paradise might look like—I never thought of its looking like anything at all—until I looked at these paintings. This sounds like an accolade verging on silliness but it's actually something much simpler. It is not that Horvath has set out to paint paradise—the concept seems ludicrous and would likely appear so to the artist, nor is it that her paintings represent an image or embody a concept of paradise. Rather, by presenting what appear to be very personal (though very allusive) images knit together in a painterly style that is gentle without ever seeming lax, Horvath offers images of our world as I perceive it at those moments when I am most appreciative of being a part of it. Richly optical, full of enticing complexity, intense color, and fascinating characters, Horvath paints the world as it looks to me when I am at my best. These paintings are devoid of cynicism.
Here's one description of such a world, drawn from a painting entitled "Afterlife." Bathed in a hazy atmosphere, an impenetrably umber -colored pond hovers on the horizon, stretching out toward the borders of our perception. The pond is circumscribed by a railing glowing in warm hues, which is in turn enclosed by a lush green wash of foliage of every imaginable variety stretching outward to the sky above. Instead of clouds, there is sea life, silhouetted like Matisse's late cut-outs and tapestries. Interspersed throughout the interstices of this densely crowded world are tiny images: baseball diamonds, boats, and people barely visible in the mist. At the precise center of all this is the dark green shade of a tiny horse and rider visible through a gap in the railing, just above the pond. Despite its outlandishness, the setting seems familiar, quotidian, like a park passed regularly on the way to work, its mood changing with the seasons and the day's light. There is an uncanny sense of observed reality about Horvath's otherworldly afterlife.
In the paradise of Greek mythology, the souls of the heroic and the just dwell in the Elysian Fields of the underworld. Greek mythology draws only a vague distinction between life on Earth where gods and humans jostle each other for position, and the afterlife. So close are the two realms, that the gods bear children with mortals, creating real trouble when these Promethean offspring get restless and attempt to bring to their earthly parents knowledge reserved for the gods alone. Thus the ancient Greeks could see fit to put paradise in hell and hell, in turn, within walking distance of Earth. From a Catholic perspective, let alone a Protestant, this is really mixing things up. But perhaps we'd have a better grasp of paradise—what it actually might be, beyond a concept—if we had an example to go by, a view of existence in which the distinctions between different states of being are not so sharply defined; in which pragmatism or utilitarianism woud have little traffic; in which our instincts, our deeper feelings, and our subconscious might find more room to breathe and inform our activity in this world.
"Night Bed" (a title I almost regret: it confirmed an intuition as to the painting's specificity, but it also suggests a thematic resolution, a closure which all Horvath's paintings avoid) strikes me as an answer to Musa Meyer's book Night Studio, her revealing and unsettling biography of her father Phillip Guston. Night Studio describes Guston as a man whose family often seemed to be in the way of his art.Think of Guston's chilling pictures of himself and his wife, Musa, in a bed in which sleeping seems like drowning. Horvath's "Night Bed," on the other hand, is electric. Above manganese sheets and rose pillows winds the Prussian blue headboard. It is flanked on one side by a vertical swath—this is a six-foot painting—of a barely defined city at night and on the other by a lunar landscape. Composed of the same shimmering grid that defines the city, this bed is a destination and a universe unto itself. It is a beloved object. It designates the home as a source of inspiration for the artist. Beginning in 2002, both this painting and "Afterlife" took seven years to make.
The exhibition's title, Parts of a World, comes from a Wallace Stevens poem. Poetry has an aleatory, synthesizing function: it is no accident that the first great Western poet was Greek. Horvath's paintings are poetic and soothing—pleasurable in the most challenging sense. She leads us carefully up over the top of the precipitous incline to which we cling in disbelief and invites us to contemplate the rolling vastness and safety of an Elysian field.

ALEX KATZ Small Paintings 19872013by Robert Berlind
NOV 2013 | ArtSeen
Alex Katz makes highly refined graphite drawings as part of his preparation for the bravura, often enormous pictures for which he is known. These paintings are not, in the usual sense of the word, spontaneous; his esthetic sensibility is cool, refusing sentiment in favor of high style (his term) and impeccable finish, for which prior drawing is necessary.

Helmut Federles fifth solo exhibition at Peter Blum, The Ferner Paintings, is promoted with an announcement card that excerpts an anecdote from Giorgio Vasaris The Lives of the Artists (1550), wherein Italys great painters were asked by the Pope to prove their skill. Vasari reports that Giotto was judged as the greatest of all the candidates by replying with a perfect freehand drawing of a circle on an otherwise-blank sheet of paper.

Abstract: Recent imaging data for single bacterial cells reveal that their mean sizes grow exponentially in time and that their size distributions collapse to a single curve when rescaled by their means. An analogous result holds for the division-time distributions. A model is needed to delineate the minimal requirements for these scaling behaviors. We formulate a microscopic theory of stochastic exponential growth as a Master Equation that accounts for these observations, in contrast to existing quantitative models of stochastic exponential growth (e.g., the Black-Scholes equation or geometric Brownian motion). Our model, the stochastic Hinshelwood cycle (SHC), is an autocatalytic reaction cycle in which each molecular species catalyzes the production of the next. Continue reading

A loose remake of the 1935 Charlie Ruggles-Mary Boland comedy of the same name, Mama Loves Papa stars Elisabeth Risdon in the title role. Thanks to the efforts of his social-climbing wife Jessie (Risdon), furniture store employee Wilbur Todd (Leon Errol) is tossed headfirst into the world of small-town politics. Sized up as a patsy by crooked politician Kirkwood (Edwin Maxwell), poor Wilbur is plied with champagne as part of Kirkwood's scheme to land a sweetheart playground-equipment contract. Awakening with a huge hangover and minus his trousers, Wilbur finds that he has inadvertently brought disgrace to everyone concerned, including his wife. Everything turns out all right, of course, but only when Jessie agrees to allow Wilbur to stay in his own backyard. The film is highlighted by Leon Errol's classic "rubber legs" routine, which was already familiar to aficionados of Errol's two-reel comedy escapades.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates ACE as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth and compelling growth in net income. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 7.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 19.7%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- ACE's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.22 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- ACE LTD reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, ACE LTD increased its bottom line by earning $7.88 versus $4.51 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($8.55 versus $7.88).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Insurance industry. The net income increased by 171.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $328.00 million to $891.00 million.
