I don't suppose that "service station" happens to double as a truck stop...
Im sure they must have meant chamber of whores.
generalized kink
whorehoue kink
media whore kink
and it all starts with ass slapping, and big hard on slapping, and bite my nips ..... oh well
I don't read that as him saying "no one around here thinks about sex", I read it as "no one around here thinks that the neighbor's house might be a BDSM dungeon". Which is probably true.
There is plenty of evidence that the kink-o-meter's calibration doesn't only move in one direction. Recent history might suggest that tolerance inevitably increases, but I would bet that in 100 years necrophilia will still clock in as pretty fucking kinky on the old k-o-m.
An it isn't impossible that some day oral will be unspeakable again. These things move both ways, I'm sorry to say.
And if you know that, then it follows that people (perhaps Mario C. Chiacchia) can register their shock and horror in the NYT in an effort to push the meter back to simpler, happier times (in their opinion).
You might not want that to happen, but the world makes a lot more sense if you are open to the possibility that not everyone shares your standards. You'll find yourself saying "Puh-leeze" a lot less.
Surely some of these neighbors have pool boys?
I don't think you really need a subpoena anymore...
I'm more concerned that they use those horses for something horrific.
I've heard that people in the suburbs not only think about sex, they actually have sex. Is this news?
People love to talk about and fantasize about sex of all sorts, but when push comes to shove, we're still a nation of puritans, and getting more so all the time. So, a story about a dominatrix in Connecticut is still magically titillating to us puritans in the US.
wow - i'm hot now
Bedford Hills (in the lede) becomes Bedford Falls (in the last para)?
Raises the question: What would George Baily say if ZaZu grew up to be a Dom?
Bill, she is a Dom!
And she opened up a fetish store:
Zuzuu's Paddles
We're the sauce on your steak
The cheese in your cake
We put the spring in Springfield
Well, by golly, if only one man was bettered by this, it was worth it!
Great article, though I would say that oral is further down on the kink-o-meter (meaning it's less kinky) than BDSM. I'd say BDSM is somewhere between oral and anal. But it ain't the 'taint. You know what I mean.
I feel like the only posts I'm putting up are just nagging silly maybe errors. But was that intentional to change the name from Bedford Hills (the real name of the town) to Bedford Falls (from It's a Wonderful Life)?

Weathercasters take on role of science educators; feel some uncertainty on issue of climate change
In a time when only a handful of TV news stations employ a dedicated science reporter, TV weathercasters may seem like the logical people to fill that role, and in many cases they do. In the largest and most representative survey of television weathercasters to date, George Mason University's Center for Climate Change Communication shows that two-thirds of weathercasters are interested in reporting on climate change, and many say they are already filling a role as an informal science educator.
"Our surveys of the public have shown that many Americans are looking to their local TV weathercaster for information about global warming," says Edward Maibach, director of the Center for Climate Change Communication. "The findings of this latest survey show that TV weathercasters play—or can play—an important role as informal climate change educators."
According to the survey, climate change is already one of the most common science topics TV weathercasters discuss—most commonly at speaking events, but also at the beginning or end of their on-air segments, on blogs and web sites, on the radio and in newspaper columns.
Weathercasters also indicated that they are interested in personalizing the story for their local viewers—reporting on local stories such as potential flooding/drought, extreme heat events, air quality and crops. About one-quarter of respondents said they have already seen evidence of climate change in their local weather patterns.
"Only about 10 percent of TV stations have a dedicated specialist to cover these topics," says University of Texas journalism professor Kristopher Wilson, a collaborator on the survey. "By default, and in many cases by choice, science stories become the domain of the only scientifically trained person in the newsroom—weathercasters."
Many of the weathercasters said that having access to resources such as climate scientists to interview and high-quality graphics and animations to use on-air would increase their ability to educate the public about climate change.
However, despite their interest in reporting more on this issue, the majority of weathercasters (61 percent) feel there is a lot of disagreement among scientists about the issue of global warming. Though 54 percent indicated that global warming is happening, 25 percent indicated it isn't, and 21 percent say they don't know yet.
"A recent survey showed that more than 96 percent of leading climate scientists are convinced that global warming is real and that human activity is a significant cause of the warming," says Maibach. "Climate scientists may need to make their case directly to America's weathercasters, because these two groups appear to have a very different understanding about the scientific consensus on climate change."
This survey is one part of a National Science Foundation-funded research project on meteorologists. Using this data, Maibach and his research team will next conduct a field test of 30-second, broadcast-quality educational segments that TV weathercasters can use in their daily broadcasts to educate viewers about the link between predicted (or current) extreme weather events in that media market and the changing global climate.
Ultimately, the team hopes to answer key research questions supporting efforts to activate TV meteorologists nationwide as an important source of informal science education about climate change.

American Unexceptionalism
The Tea Party is Special -- Just Not in the Way It Thinks
As proudly patriotic as it is, the Tea Party is not exceptional -- or at least not in the ways it likes to think. The angry conservative group, which accuses U.S. President Barack Obama of betraying the constitution and driving the United States toward "European-style" socialism, epitomizes a libertarian strain of thought and action with deep roots in its country's past. The same alarm -- that the United States needs protecting from a leviathan state supposedly alien to the cherished values handed down by the Founding Fathers -- has been raised by the Liberty League in the 1930s, by the John Birch Society in the 1950s and 1960s, and by the Christian right from the 1970s to the present. Grassroots activists who embraced that credo propelled Barry Goldwater to the Republican presidential nomination in 1964 and Ronald Reagan into the White House in 1980.
But subtract the colonial-period costumes and the "Don't Tread on Me" flags, and Tea Party events are not easily distinguishable from the political rallies organized by parties across the Atlantic. Antagonism to taxes, corporate regulation, a strong central government, expensive welfare systems, and recent immigrants (particularly Muslim ones) are central to the platforms of the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, the Independence Party in the United Kingdom, and the Lega Nord in Italy, among others. Until recently, the National Front in France embraced the free-market agenda too, and it certainly shares the anti-immigrant fervor of its counterparts. All these parties demand a return to

"Ghostbusters": 10 Facts About the Franchise You Thought You Knew
After about five years of slowly building momentum, the crowd-funding sector of comics may be nearly 2 percent the size of the direct market. Based on analysis of the past three months of campaigns, funds generated through Kickstarter and Indiegogo would be roughly the equivalent of the sixth- or seventh-largest publisher distributing to specialty shops in North America.
While crowd-funded comics haven't seen as brisk of an increase as digital comics, it's a sector of the industry that's undeniably growing. As more established creators and publishers experiment with running campaigns, they have pulled in their readers, increasing the awareness, and even the legitimacy, of the platforms. I've found this area to be under-studied, and I was curious to see just how economically significant crowd-funding is becoming to the comics industry. So I have collected data on every campaign that successfully raised funds through Kickstarter and Indiegogo from October 2013 to December 2013. I'm actually going further back than that, but that data isn't ready yet; I'm still digging through the numbers, as data collecting, sorting and number-crunching can be challenging due to the different platforms and currencies. But I wanted to make public what I have so far because as we head into 2014, following Fantagraphics' amazing Kickstarter campaign (as just one example), I believe we're going to be seeing the industry embrace crowd-funding more and more, and there's a lot we can still learn about how it works and how it affects comics.
Over the past year or two, the buzzword for digital comics was "additive" to win the hearts and minds of retailers and others worried about digital cannibalizing print. We've since seen that it's true, and that both digital and print have excelled. It's worth noting that in October 2013, Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns surpassed $1 million raised. For some campaigns, they are additive in more ways than one, as many books and products that was financed by backers are later distributed to and sold at comic book stores, generating more funds.
Crowd-funding may share something else with comic book stores: Similar to the direct market's slower holiday months, November and December didn't generate as much; funds raised through campaigns decreased to slightly more than $850,000 and $750,000, respectively. However, the average amount raised per campaign and the average number of backers per campaign increased by the end of the year. In October, each campaign raised an average of $11,379, but in December, that amount increased to $15,862 per campaign. To look at it another way, October saw each campaign have an average of 218 people each give $52.20. In December, each campaign averaged 263 backers pledging $60.25 each. This could show that while the number of people who ran campaigns decreased in the holiday months, the number of people participating in campaigns is increasing. What's more, they may be gaining confidence in giving more. If that analysis is correct, that's an excellent indicator for a building momentum. However, November's averages saw a dip in comparison to October and December, so more data will be needed to better track the progress.
As mentioned above, the crowd-funding sector appears to be almost 2 percent the size of the direct market; that's based on the monthly sales estimates of the direct market as provided by John Jackson Miller's Comichron.com. In October, the direct market moved about $50.32 million. Crowd-funding campaigns raised approximately $1,001,310, about 1.99 percent the size of the direct market. In November, crowd-funding's $856,364 was 1.80 percent of the direct market's $42.24 million. If Kickstarter and Indiegogo were a comics publisher delivering comics to the direct market, and they were collectively doing those kinds of numbers, they would be just slightly larger in market share than BOOM! Studios and Valiant Entertainment. Crowd-funding campaigns raised $761,382 in December; however, December numbers for the direct market haven't been released. It could end up about 1.90 percent, but we will see in a couple weeks how it shakes out. Based on the numbers I have for earlier in 2013 and how they've tracked, I expect 2014 will surpass 2 percent fairly soon.
It's worth taking a moment to compare the performance of Kickstarter and Indiegogo. It's no surprise that Kickstarter is the leader here. However, in the raw numbers below, note Kickstarter's relative stability over the three months; it's always in the $700,000 range. Indiegogo's fluctuation is what causes the dip during the holidays. It's also possible that Indiegogo's decrease over the past three months isn't due to the holidays, but due to abandonment. If so, it doesn't appear to be abandonment in favor of Kickstarter, at least not yet. Whatever the reason, without a blockbuster campaign like DC Entertainment's We Can Be Heroes, the numbers on Indiegogo appear to plummet.
Just like with estimates of the North American direct market through Diamond Comic Distributors, there are caveats galore here as well. Most notably, while the amount pledged by backers is public knowledge, the final amount fulfilled for each campaign is not. Anecdotally, people running campaigns have sometimes said a surprisingly significant amount was never paid, while some seem to consider it negligible. It's also worth noting this only includes Kickstarter and Indiegogo. These are far and away the most used and most successful platforms for comics, but there are others with a number of relevant campaigns that likely add an as-yet-unaccounted long tail to these numbers.
Finally, because I know we all love lists, I've included the Top 40 fundraising campaigns for each of the three months I've discussed here. Sometimes the blockbusters may surprise you. You'll notice some entries have two amounts. That is due to the campaign being run in a different currency. I converted those to U.S. dollars, but it is an approximation due to the fluctuating dollar, euro, pound or what have you. I've also included the Top 10 campaigns with the most backers, as I think it's interesting to see where the people flock. You'll see that sometimes projects have a larger following that maybe can't spend as much, and some have fewer fans with bigger pocketbooks. But first, here are the totals for each month, and divided by platform.

Top 10 Campaigns – Most Backers – December 2013
I spent $160 total on four comics projects in 2013, including "In the Dark", "Memory", "Em Cartoons Volume 1″ and "Earthward".
The various reward levels, the bonuses, and the satisfaction of helping someone else fund a dream all make the process worth it for me. Among others, I've also helped produce several music projects (cds and/or vinyl, always with digital included) and a couple of selvedge denim ones.
I use KS for private funding of projects that I don't feel like chasing down in stores, go to stores for my trades (unless the trade I want is overpriced in which case I buy online), and buy singles digitally. It works well to have all these options IMO and after all the talk of stores dying i'm buying way more comics than before.
You didn't include Drawing Beautiful Women: The Frank Cho Method Kickstarter which broke $150,000 barrier (actually counted as $152,854)!
Definitely not bad for one artist's first Kickstarter tryout.
Same thing with The Art of Brom which broke $200,000 barrier on the artist's first tryout, too.
Both artists' success resulted from Flesk Publishing.
Nicholas, the Frank Cho book ended just 5 days ago, so that will go in January 2014 totals once the month is over. This covers October to December 2013. But you're right, that was a great success and will definitely be one of the blockbusters of the month. Maybe the number 1 for the month. The Art of Brom, which was also an amazing showing, ended in October 2012.
Thanks for checking though. I'm happy to be double and triple checked on this.
Hi Corey,
I never meant to correct you, just a minor update.
Nevertheless, your data/information in comic book and comic-related crowd-funded is an intrigued article which I only just scratched the surface.
I enjoyed reading your other articles such as "Exclusive | DeConnick adapts 'Barbarella' for Humanoids", "The historical significance of 'Miracleman'", "The DC Comics non-guide to responding to controversy", "Sex and violence in comics: When is it too much?" and so many others, too numerous to list.
Keep up the good work.
I think crowd-funding is a funny beast. It's still so incredibly young. It certainly hasn't crested yet, but project creators and project backers seem to be on the same page when it comes to leveling expectations of what these kinds of endeavors should offer. It used to worry me a lot — backer expectation (i.e., "stretch goals") — but for now it looks like the more serious folks are stepping up their game (i.e., supporting a project for the creator and his or her ambition, not for the gewgaws), and plan to keep it that way.
I dropped CAD $100 on the "Nelvana of the Northern Lights: Canada's First Superheroine" campaign, and that's the most I've ever put into a Kickstarter item. The volume of content I'll get out of it though will be ridiculous, so I'm more than willing to put my money in the hands of comics researchers who know what their doing. I thought about backing "The Squidder," but in the end I was more fascinated by the art than the story concept, so I stepped away.
Good research; I'm looking forward to more of it.
Thank you, Nicholas, I appreciate that.
Good observations, Aaron.
Two percent? In other words, noise.
It's a really new phenomenon and one never saw before in publishing. Considered that is mainly used by individuals while classical comics publishing is in the hand of massive media corporation 2% of the market it's not noise. A small publisher could live and profit with 2%, numbers has sense if looked in context.
Yo, Robot, congratulations for being re-nominated again in Eisners! Hopefully, you snatch it this time around!
I've only ever backed one Kickstarter comic before, Raised By Raptors by Oliver Sykes and Ben Ashton-Bell. It was well worth it, and I'm constantly hunting the Kickstarter comic section for other things to back, but honestly there's not much.
I do plan on putting mine up on Kickstarter soon enough though.

I have to compile a program on a current ubuntu (12.04). This program should then run on a cluster using CentOS with an older Kernel (2.6.18). I cannot compile on the cluster directly, unfortunately. If I just compile and copy the program without any changes I get the error message "kernel too old".
The way I understood it, the reason for this is not so much the Kernel version, but the version of libc that was used for compilation. So I tried to compile my program dynamically linking the libc from the cluster and statically linking everything else.
There are already a lot of questions about this on SO but none of the answers really worked for me. So here is my research on that topic:
- This question explains the reason for the Kernel too old message
- This question is similar but more specialized and has no answers
- Linking statically as proposed here didn't work because the libc is too old on the cluster. One answer also mentions to build using the old libc, but doesn't explain how to do this.
- One way is to compile in a VM running an old OS. This worked but is complicated. I also read that you should not link libc statically
- Apparently it is possible to compile for a different libc version with the option
-rpathbut this did not work for me (see below)
Current state
I copied the following files from the cluster into the directory
- libc-2.5.so
- libgcc_s.so.1
- libstdc++.so.6
and am compiling with the options
-nodefaultlibs -Xlinker -rpath=/path/to/copied/libs -Wl,-Bstatic,-lrt,-lboost_system,-lboost_filesystem -Wl,-Bdynamic,-lc,-lstdc++,-lgcc_s
The output of ldd on the compiled binary is
mybin: /path/to/copied/libs/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by mybin)
mybin: /path/to/copied/libs/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by mybin)

libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fbe37071000)
I'm somewhat confused by the error, because it uses the correct path (i.e. the libc from the cluster) but still complains about a missing glibc version. When running ldd on the cluster it returns
not a dynamic executable and running the binary results in the same two errors mentioned above. It also looks like there are other libraries included (linux-vdso.so.1, ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 and libm.so.6). Should I use the older versions for those as well?
So now I have two main questions:
- Is this even the correct approach here?
- If yes: how do I link the old libc correctly?

As always, people around the league were theorizing this week that perhaps there's a double standard when it comes to league discipline and star players.
The latest comes from "slew footing" incidents involving Evgeny Artyukhin and Alex Ovechkin in back-to-back nights. One player received a three-game suspension and one player was fined, respectively. But before we buy into the conspiracy theory of a double standard, let's also look at the facts:
Artyukhin is now a three-time repeat offender who also was fined in preseason for slew footing a player who didn't have the puck. At the time, league disciplinarian Colin Campbell again warned Artyukhin. Now, in my opinion, on the surface, as a stand-alone incident, Wednesday night's slew foot of Dallas defenseman Matt Niskanen did not warrant three games. I might have given him one game for that. But I think what you have here is a player in Artyukhin who was suspended last season for a knee-on-knee hit on Ville Peltonen and fined/warned just three weeks ago for slew footing. Was the three-gamer too much? Maybe. But he asked for it.
Now, back to Mr. Ovechkin, who slew-footed Atlanta's Rich Peverley on Thursday night. Ovechkin is not a repeat offender and doesn't have the rap sheet Artyukhin does. So that comes into play in Campbell's decision. But don't think the league ignored it. They reviewed it, and I'm told Campbell had a chat with Ovechkin on Friday before fining him $2,500, the maximum allowed. If the Caps superstar does it again, he'll get in bigger trouble.
Who wants to be an owner?
Remember this name: Bill Gallacher.
He's a businessman from Calgary, Alberta, with lots of dough, and he's let it be known through the grapevine he might be interested in owning an NHL team.
In September, as chairman of Athabasca Oil Sands Corp., he sold assets to China worth $1.9 billion. He's got a lot more money now and he's a huge hockey fan with season tickets to the NHL's Flames and WHL's Hitmen in Calgary.
Gallacher owns the Western Hockey League's Portland Winter Hawks, but I'm told he's looking to get into the big game, as well. The NHL, I'm told, knows of Gallacher's interest, but has yet to officially meet with him.
And know this: he's not looking for a fight a la Jim Balsillie; Gallacher wants to go in the front door to the NHL. He's not looking to uproot a team from somewhere in the U.S. and move it to his native Canada.
Gallacher has apparently hired someone to help him study the NHL landscape and advise him on his next move. There are a handful of possible teams for sale, starting in Phoenix, but one team to perhaps keep an eye on is Dallas, where Stars owner Tom Hicks may want to sell at some point as he deals with his huge financial obligations with the Liverpool soccer team. The Stars are not for sale right now, but keep an eye on that one.
Brendan Shanahan
Veteran winger Brendan Shanahan is still skating at home in the New York area, still hoping to catch on with another NHL team. I'm told the Philadelphia Flyers have some mild interest in him and have talked to his camp. The Flyers also tried to sign him this past summer before he chose to return to New Jersey (he's since left the Devils) and the Flyers also looked at him last season. Does it make sense for the Flyers to act on this now? I think that's a question they're trying to answer right now.
Marc Savard
There have been rumors out there regarding the future of Marc Savard in Boston because he's an unrestricted free agent. But I'm told Savard is not going anywhere and the Bruins have already begun contract talks on an extension to keep him in Boston. That was part of the reason for the Chuck Kobasew deal last Sunday -- to open up as much cap space as possible going forward. However, having talks and getting a deal done are two different matters. Keep an eye on this one.
Alexander Frolov
Another player who found himself in trade rumors this week was Alexander Frolov after his very public benching. But the fact is, the Los Angeles Kings have not shopped him to other teams, not yet anyway. For now, the Kings hope the talented winger figures things out and becomes part of the solution.
Having said that, preliminary contract talks that began in September for the potential unrestricted free agent have since been put on hold as the team and player figure things out. One of the apparent issues is that some people believe he doesn't care. But others who know him well will tell you he's got the kind of personality that doesn't show a lot of emotion, and that doesn't mean he doesn't care. We'll definitely need to revisit this one later in the season.
Sergei Kostitsyn
The mercurial forward, still stuck in AHL Hamilton, keeps threatening to go to Russia. Except, he's been told what risk is associated with that: no Olympics. He's earmarked as one of the few NHL-caliber players who will play for Belarus at the Vancouver Games in February. Kostitsyn would be suspended by the Canadiens if he went to the KHL because he's under a valid NHL contract. And according to new IIHF transfer regulations adopted in May, he would be playing in the KHL without a valid international transfer card since he's already under NHL contract. As a result, he'd face IIHF suspension and thus would not be able to play in an IIHF-sanctioned competition, which of course includes the Olympics. Get all that?
Michael Nylander
You may have noticed this week that veteran center Michael Nylander was sent to AHL Grand Rapids on a conditioning assignment. Because of his no-movement clause, he had to OK the assignment and he did because he knows he has to showcase himself in order to facilitate a move.
I'm told a few KHL teams are still interested, but they want to see him play to make sure he's not out of shape. Now they'll get a look at him. The Caps also could still be holding out hope that an NHL team might step forward if they like what they see in Grand Rapids. But the contract is tough to take on -- $5.5 million this season and $3 million next season.
It's interesting to note, however, that his no-movement clause disappears after this season. Why does that matter? Well, let's say you're an NHL team that figures Nylander can help this season, but you're not too interested in the other year on his deal. With the no-movement clause gone next summer, you are free to move him anywhere and you're also free to put him in the minors or re-entry waivers. When the no-movement clause is in effect, teams are severely limited with their options.
What's interesting with Nylander is just what happened to him. I was a big fan of this guy; he was a very talented center for many years, and perhaps still is. But I'm told when an apparent deal with the Chicago Blackhawks fell through last season, he was never the same. He had his heart set on joining the Hawks and was shattered when the deal didn't happen.

Islanders 4, Stars 2: Kyle Okposo scored a pair of goals and captain John Tavares snapped a tie late in the third period as New York extended its road winning streak to seven games.
Brock Nelson also tallied while Thomas Vanek and defenseman Calvin de Haan notched two assists apiece for the Islanders, who have a season-high four straight games overall and seven of eight. Tavares added an assist and Kevin Poulin made 29 saves en route to his fifth consecutive victory.
Ray Whitney and defenseman Sergei Gonchar scored for the Stars, who have begun the new year with six straight losses. Dan Ellis turned aside 27 shots in a rare start.
Dallas got on the board at 11:45 of the first period, when Whitney received a feed from behind the net by Alex Chiasson and fired the puck past Poulin from the left faceoff circle. Gonchar doubled the lead with 1:48 left in the session, stealing the puck from Nelson above the right circle and beating Poulin for his first goal of the season.
Okposo pulled New York even, burying a shot from the right circle midway through the second before banking the puck off the left post and into the net with 4:16 remaining in the third. Tavares converted a cross-ice pass from de Haan with 1:24 to play and Nelson sealed the win with an empty-net goal in the final minute.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Islanders hadn't won seven in a row on the road since 1981. ... Stars C Tyler Seguin has gone five games without a point, matching his longest drought of the season (Nov. 21-Dec. 5). ... Tavares registered four goals and three assists in two wins over Dallas in the last seven days. ... New York, which is 3-0-0 on its six-game road trip, posted its league-leading sixth victory when trailing after two periods.

British visitors might, however, be less enamoured with the fact that smoking is still allowed there, and the venue charges an entry fee to all but hotel guests Rock Bar, Bali Admittedly more rock-top than rooftop, the Rock Bar at Ayana Resort and Spa is located on natural rocks 14 metres above the Indian Ocean. Understandably popular with drinkers who want to admire the setting sun, the bar also hosts DJ performances and remains a popular spot after dark Ku Dé Ta, Singapore On top of the imposing Marina Bay Sands complex in Singapore, Ku Dé Ta is a 40,000sq ft space that incorporates a restaurant, club lounge and poolside terrace. The focal point of the lounge area is its open-air bar, which hosts regular parties, while the restaurant also features a circular "Sky Bar" that sits atop a public observation deck Hotel de Rome, Berlin Berlin's cityscape unfurls from the central Hotel de Rome. From here you can see the State Opera HOuse, Berin Cathedral, the TV tower and a host of other landmarks Aqua spirit, Hong Kong In Hong Kong's One Peking skyscraper, aqua spirit faces the city's spectacular harbour and the skyline is best appreciated during the Symphony of Lights. The nightly event sees buildings along the waterfront illuminated in a dazzling display of synchronised lights and music. As for the bar itself, the stylish David Collins-designed space is a popular spot for cocktails and hosts regular performances by popular local DJs See more of Hong Kong's best rooftop bars Ozone, Hong Kong A superlative inclusion, Ozone is located on the 118th floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong and is officially recognised as the highest bar in the world.

On the 34th floor of the city's Four Seasons hotel, the open-air bar and lounge starts the evening with a daily "Sunset Happy Hour" from 5.30pm to 8pm and then continues into the night with DJ sets Credit: Jaideep Oberoi 1-Altitude, Singapore Situated on Singapore's highest point – 925ft (282m) above sea level – 1-Altitude features a sunken bar and two mixologist capsules where guests can try their hand at concocting their own drinks. Or they can just order from the menu and enjoy the view The London, Hollywood The rooftop of The London hotel in West Hollywood is a day-to-night destination. Lounge poolside by day in a private cabana, cocktail in hand; as the evening progresses the buzz grows and the space becomes a glamorous hang-out. As for the view, there are unobstructed views of the hills, the shimmering lights of Los Angeles and – on a clear day – the Pacific Ocean Credit: Barbara Kraft Long Island Summer Lounge, Frankfurt Open only in the warmer months, Frankfurt's Long Island Summer Lounge offers spectacular views of the city's skyline Sky Bar at Sirocco, Bangkok On the 63rd floor of a Bangkok skyscraper, and part of the city's Lebua hotel, Sky Bar at Sirocco is the world's highest open-air bar and a popular spot for sundowners on humid Bangkok nights Radio, London It may lack the height of some of the other rooftop bars and the crowd can be offputtingly boisterous but Radio, atop the ME London hotel wows with incredible views. From here you can look towards the towers of Canary Wharf and the City, observe the curve of the Thames and admire Somerset House – particularly pleasant when its ice rink is open and skaters are out in force See more of London's best rooftop bars Skye Bar, Sao Paulo Atop Sao Paulo's Unique Hotel, Skye Bar offers views over much of the metropolis. Its pool also proves popular during the day Top of the Mark, San Francisco On the top floor of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins hotel in San Francisco, Top of the Mark is, in itself, a rather dated bar. For impressive vistas, though, it offers something special. Taking up the entire 19th floor, the panorama takes in the imposing Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline and the dramatically undulating cityscape below Bar 54, New York New York is awash with bars that offer good views, but too-loud music, hastily made cocktails and excessive crowds are typical. Bar 54, on the 54th floor of the Hyatt Times Square, is different. Calm and unpretentious, it serves excellent drinks and is considered one of New York's best cocktail bars. The views impress too: the Chrysler building, Manhattan's southern skyline and both rivers can be seen from the outdoor terrace Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image

Anthony Weiner Offers Representative Michael Grimm Advice in Daily News Op-Ed
And not-so-subtle insults.
When Fox News asked Anthony Weiner to weigh in on Benghazi and Bridgegate earlier this month, he said he's "certainly not a great person to arbitrate on how other people handle their crises." However, now that Representative Michael Grimm was caught on tape threatening to "break" NY1 reporter Michael Scotto, the former congressman is suddenly a font of advice. In a Daily News op-ed, Weiner offers some tips for Grimm – though he acknowledges "I did a terrible job following these rules." So why weigh in at all? The bio at the end of the piece gives a big hint: "Weiner is a former congressman representing Brooklyn and Queens. In 2012, he acknowledged informing the FBI in 2010 of an allegation conveyed to him about Grimm's fund-raising practices."
Weiner notes, "I know and like both of the players [Scotto and Grimm]" and quips "I only know what I read in the papers about all this. (OK, maybe I know a bit more.)" Otherwise, he doesn't reference the fact that he went to the FBI after Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto told him that Grimm tried to extort money from him and his followers. The FBI is investigating whether Grimm and former fund-raiser Ofer Biton collected illegal contributions from the congregation. Biton, an Israeli immigrant, pleaded guilty to visa fraud last summer.
Grimm and his allies blasted Weiner after he revealed his involvement in 2012. (One former Staten Island congressman called him "a pervert and proven liar.") While the tone of Weiner's op-ed is self-deprecating and conciliatory, he manages to get in a few not-so-subtle jabs at Grimm:
"Better yet, if you don't want to talk about your fund-raising scandal, maybe just maybe don't have one to begin with ... it does seem like a lot of people are being investigated and indicted in connection with Mikey Suits' campaign."
"I'll leave it to the authorities who are probing this in New York, Washington, Texas and Israel to work out what happened, but it seems like we may be headed for another of those Nixon/Christie 'mistakes were made' moments."
"I know that 'can you tell us about the status of the ethics investigation into you?' sounds like fighting words. But it can actually be an invitation to explain some of the messy doings that have swirled around you since nearly the moment you were elected."
As for what Weiner has learned from making "just about every mistake imaginable in my dealings with reporters," he recommends laying low if you don't want to talk about your scandal, not screwing up in the first place, and keeping your cool when answering irritating questions from reporters. And presumably, he's also realized it's a bad idea to mock an interviewer's accent, run through the back door of a McDonald's to evade the press, and flip off a reporter. What a difference four months makes.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — James Cameron is king of the world again.
20th Century Fox said Tuesday that the director's sci-fi spectacle, "Avatar," has passed his shipwreck saga "Titanic" to become the highest-grossing film worldwide.
As of Monday, "Avatar" had brought in $1.859 billion at the box office, passing the $1.843 billion worldwide record set by 1997's "Titanic."
"Titanic" remains the highest-grossing film domestically at $600.8 million.
"Avatar" has been No. 1 at the box office for six straight weeks with a domestic total of $554.9 million. It shot down "The Dark Knight" on Saturday to become the second highest-grossing film domestically.
"Avatar" has also mined $1.3 billion in international ticket sales, smashing the $1.24 billion mark previously set by "Titanic."

I'm looking for a chrome/firefox plugin (or simple desktop app) to create the campaign links for me based on the link I want to send out.
I haven't found this on Google so I was wondering if anyone knows of a tool that does this.

In a world where city politics is often seen as a blood sport, City Councilmember Simcha Felder is a class act.
Known for his wry wit, intelligence and charm, Felder was an effective lawmaker for the 44th Council District representing Borough Park, Midwood and Bensonhurst.
Among his more recent legislative victories was the recently-passed "five minute" bill allowing drivers an extra five minutes of parking when the meters expire before traffic enforcement agents can ticket them.
Felder's resignation is a loss to his district, but a win for the city as he is well qualified to serve as Deputy Comptroller of Budget and Accounting in newly elected Comptroller John Liu's office.
While we wish Simcha Felder all the mazel in the world, we also see great trepidation if his successor becomes former City Council member and current Civil Court Judge Noach Dear in the upcoming special election.
Dear's tenure as City Council member was fraught with problems and the New York City Bar Association declared him unqualified to be a judge.
Indeed, the 44th City Council District has several outstanding residents to replace Felder.
David Greenfield, for one, comes to mind, and several other qualified candidates are sure to jump into the special election to be held within the next two months.
So in the end, we say fare thee well to one of Brooklyn's better City Council members, and anybody but Dear.

Think of soap operas and you recollect Santa Barbara and The Bold And The Beautiful.These two television sagas defined the term soaps for an Indian audience used to the humdrum dished out by the national television channel, Doordarshan.SB and The B & The B enthralled Westernised Indian audiences.
For the Hindi speaking public and those who still stuck to Doordarshan, Hum Log and Buniyaad were always available as TV dinner fare.
But for those who were suddenly exposed to choice, there was no turning back from the influence of MTV and Star TV. Jaded television audiences were suddenly invigorated.
Santa Barbara and The Bold And The Beautiful worked with a tried and tested formula :Money, sex and power in a potent mix.
The recent goings-on in and around the IPL have all the classic makings of a soap.Drama and pathos , joy and pain, glory and ignominy — it has it all.
Money, glamour ,sex appeal , a decamping honcho, exotic locations, politics, the mafia and more twists and turns than a pot-boiler — these have the audience on tenterhooks.Once you hook them, they just keep coming back for more. They just can't get enough.
A much desired look at the elements that make the IPL a favourite with the Indian news channels:

Broadway star Brian Stokes Mitchell brings joy of music to Utah
Scott G. Winterton, Dnews
NEW YORK CITY — Utah and Brian Stokes Mitchell are, in his own words, "a match made in heaven."
When the Broadway superstar and concert soloist steps on stage for the Oct. 6 and 7 BYU Spectacular homecoming event, it will be Mitchell's fifth performance in the state, following three guest artist invitations from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and a previous BYU de Jong solo concert.
"Each time I have performed in Utah, I had a great time and the audiences seem to enjoy what I do," Mitchell said in a Deseret News interview from his Manhattan home. "The audiences are very warm and very appreciative. There is a built-in appreciation for music that is so much a part of the LDS culture. Utahns know that music can be divine and can touch a person's spirit in a unique way."
Following his BYU concert last May, BYU vocal-performance students had the unparalleled opportunity to attend an intimate master class taught by Mitchell. "And we just fell in love with him, as a performer and a gentleman," said Janielle Christensen, artistic director for Spectacular. "He is a great talent and shares so many of our same values as far as the performing arts and how they can enrich and enlighten us to become better individuals.
"He does so much more than sing a song. Mr. Mitchell makes the song live and makes you feel better. He has an intense vision that he brings to performing that involves light and truth and his own joie de vivre."
His joy-enfused performing is a unique trait that has been heralded as "happiness bursting out of him that is as natural as breathing" by the New York Times' Stephen Holden. The reviewer has also called Mitchell "a singer who dares you to be happier than you ever dreamed."
Utah concert audiences were first introduced to Mitchell's powerhouse baritone at the 2008 O.C. Tanner Gift of Music American Songbook concert that featured Mitchell performing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Utah Symphony. Not only did concertgoers respond enthusiastically to his joyful, commanding performance, but a warm friendship developed between Mitchell and the choir's musical director, Mack Wilberg.
"I can count on one hand the number of conductors-composers-arrangers that I enjoy working with, and at the top of that list is Mack Wilberg," Mitchell said. "I feel like I've known Mack forever. I'm just nuts for him."
Wilberg speaks just as enthusiastically about Mitchell and his contributions to the choir's excellence. "Brian Stokes Mitchell is one of those rare complete performers," Wilberg said. "He can do it all: sing, play, compose and arrange. And he does it all with such great charisma and aplomb. He is a true friend of the choir."
The Tony Award-honored Mitchell was raised in a musical household and said his family recognized the majesty of Mormon Tabernacle Choir music.
"When I was asked to perform with the choir, I was, of course, very excited but also slightly intimidated. The choir is a wonderful American institution and widely known for its musical gifts. But after I started working with Mack and the choir, I realized, Wow. You can't work with better people.
"And the Conference Center is an amazing performance space. Even though it's a 21,000-seat hall, it has a very intimate feel."
His most recent choir performance was at July's Pioneer Day commemoration concert with soloist Linda Eder, the first time the event had featured guest artists.
Mitchell's "Ring, Christmas Bells" performance with the choir at the 2008 Christmas concert was the first DVD release of the annual event — and both the CD and DVD are strong sellers and critically acclaimed, both within and outside the LDS recording community.

What was asked for was a responsive marketing site. What was delivered was a framework that dynamically adjusts content strategy real-time, a platform that allows quicker-to-market A/B testing, and a workflow that cuts update times in half. Oh, and it's responsive too.
The rebrand of Sci Fi to Syfy allowed the company to regain ownership of its name and distinguish it from the genre. Its launch in 2009 in the off-air channels included trade advertising, an upfront event, and a blitz of consumer and press advertising.
Designing custom websites for Audience Network to market each of its shows didn't make a whole lot of sense from a branding or efficiency standpoint. So instead, we created a responsive framework that unifies the brand experience while reducing launch time by a month.
Coming soon.
