In honor of the 50th anniversary of Oscar Robertson's 1961-62 season, where he averaged the first, and only, triple double in league history, here are two excerpts from Bill Simmons's book The Book of Basketball. The first entry deals with Robertson's placement in Simmons's Basketball Hall of Fame concept. The second breaks down why Robertson's legendary season shouldn't be as highly regarded as it is.
Resume: 14 years, 13 quality, 12 All-Stars … '64 MVP … '61 Rookie of the Year … Top 5 ('61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '67, '68, '69), Top 10 ('70, '71) … 3 All-Star MVPs … 5-year peak: 30-10-11 (first 5 seasons) … 2-year Playoffs peak: 31-11-9, 47.2 MPG (22 g's) … leader: assists (6x), FT% (2x) … career: 25.5 PPG (8th), 9.5 APG (3rd), 7.5 RPG, FT's (3rd), assists (4th), points (10th) … 2nd- best player on champ ('71 Bucks), starter on runner-up ('74 Bucks) … 25K Point Club

Back in February 2008, I was killing time in an airline club waiting for my delayed flight to board. Sitting only twenty feet away? NBA legend Oscar Robertson. Did I jump at the chance to make small talk with one of the ten greatest players who ever lived? Did I say to myself, "This is a gift from God, I can introduce myself to Oscar, tell him about my book, maybe even have him help me figure some Pyramid stuff out"? Did I even say, "Screw it, I gotta shake his hand"?
Nope. I never approached him.
Had I heard too many stories about Oscar being a miserable crank? Was I still scarred from finishing his 2003 autobiography, The Big O: My Life, My Times, My Game, maybe the angriest, most self-congratulatory basketball book ever written by anyone not named "Wilt"?1 Did I feel bad because Oscar was a profoundly bitter product of everything that happened to him? I don't know. But he may as well have been wearing a BEWARE OF OSCAR sign. And so we killed time just twenty feet apart for the next three hours. I never said a word to him.
There are few happy Oscar stories. Teammates lived in perpetual fear of letting him down. Coaches struggled to reach him and ultimately left him alone. Referees dreaded calling his games, knowing they couldn't toss the league's best all-around player even as he was serenading them with F-bombs. Fans struggled to connect with a prodigy who had little interest in connecting with them. After he finished in the top five for assists and points for nine straight years, made nine straight first-team All-NBA appearances, averaged a triple double for the first five years of his career, won the '64 MVP with Russell and Wilt in their primes and transformed the role of guards in professional basketball, his team still decided, "We need to get rid of him." Even his hometown paper (the Cincinnati Enquirer) piled on by writing in February 1970, "For years, Oscar has privately scorned the Royals management; he has ridiculed Cincinnati and its fans; he has knocked other players, both on his team and others; and he has never been willing to pay a compliment. He is, has been and probably will grow old a bitter man, convinced that it was all a plot." Of course, Oscar included this excerpt in his book thirty years later as proof that the notoriously right-wing newspaper was bigoted. Maybe both sides were right.
Oscar grew up like Bizarro Jimmy Chitwood in Bizarro Hoosiers, the never-released movie where a black basketball team prevailed … but not before facing profound prejudice and hostility along the way.2 When Oscar's Crispus Attucks High School became the first all-black champion in state history in 1955, Indianapolis rerouted its annual championship parade toward the ghetto, with the implication being, We don't trust the blacks to behave themselves, so let's keep this self-contained. Oscar never got over it. Nor did he get over Indiana University's coach, Branch McCracken, for recruiting him by saying, "I hope you're not the kind of kid who wants money to go to school." (Note: If you don't think Oscar didn't immediately stand up and walk out of the room, then you don't know Oscar well enough. Yes, that was a triple negative. I was due.) He chose the University of Cincinnati and had experiences that defy imagination six decades later. This stuff actually happened? His teachers belittled him in class and went out of their way to make him feel dumb. In Dallas, fans greeted him by tossing a black cat into his locker room.3 In Houston, he couldn't check into his hotel because of a NO BLACKS ALLOWED sign … only his team stayed there anyway, with poor Oscar stuck sleeping in a Texas Southern dorm room. In North Carolina, someone delivered him a pregame letter from the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan that simply read, "Don't ever come to the South." In St. Louis, he and a black teammate strolled into a restaurant and were greeted by stony silence, followed by every other customer clearing out within a minute or two. Even in downtown Cincinnati, they had "colored" water fountains and a cinema that wouldn't allow blacks as patrons … a theater that stood only half a block from where he starred for the Bearcats. Night after night, Oscar was filling a gym with fans and couldn't even walk down the street to catch a movie.
At some point, the Big O snapped, shut himself off and settled for taking his frustrations out on everyone else. I don't blame him one iota — even in photos of Oscar from high school to the NBA, you can actually see the grim transformation in his face. Young Oscar is wide-eyed, innocent, grinning happily in every photo. Older Oscar looks like he's smoldering, like he's barely happy enough to fake a smile for the photographer. Had Magic or Jordan dealt with everything Oscar dealt with, they would not rank higher than him in this book. There's no way. So in a Pyramid that hinges on five dynamics — individual brilliance, respect from peers, the statistical fruits/spoils of whatever era, team success and an intangible connection with teammates — Oscar's career remains the toughest to project. Yes, he was brilliant. Yes, his opponents and teammates revered him. Yes, he took advantage of some undeniable gifts from his particular era. No, his teams didn't succeed as much as you'd think. No, his teammates didn't love playing with him (as much as they respected him). His statistics were remarkable, sure, but didn't we just spend a book that's now the size of War and Peace proving that basketball is more than just numbers? Shouldn't it matter that Oscar never made the Finals until his eleventh season, well after his prime, when he rode Kareem's gangly body to his first title?4 Or that Oscar thrived statistically but missed four postseasons and only won two playoffs total? Or that three former teammates went on the record with the following quotes (from Tall Tales)?
Jerry Lucas: "Oscar was a perfectionist and he'd yell at you if you messed up. Then you saw that he yelled at everyone, so you learned not to take it personally."
Zelmo Beaty: "He was such a perfectionist that I never could have lived up to his expectations. The way he'd scream at Wayne Embry: 'You dummy, catch the ball … I put the ball right in your hands, how could you drop that one?' I felt sorry for Wayne."
Wayne Embry: "Oscar was so far ahead of us humans that you could never come up to his level. But because of his greatness and what he meant to the franchise, you hated to fail him. Oscar's greatness sometimes overwhelmed Adrian Smith. [He'd] tell Oscar, 'Please, O, you know I'm trying, I really am. You gotta believe me, O.' "
Oscar's demanding personality overwhelmed everyone around him. After his playing career ended and CBS jettisoned him in 1975, nobody hired him as a coach, general manager, broadcaster, or adviser for the next thirty-four years (and counting). He resurfaced occasionally as the Grumpy Old Superstar in any story comparing the good old days to whatever was happening in the current era.5 You could always rely on one churlish Oscar quote about how today's players make too much money; how he never could have palmed the ball so blatantly back in his day; how he would have loved to have played in an era of charter planes, personal trainers and low expectations; how today's triple doubles didn't matter because you could get an assist for anything nowadays. Every Oscar quote makes it sound like Dana Carvey should be playing him with Robert Downey Jr.'s Tropic Thunder makeup. Back in my day, I used to get triple doubles playing in bad sneakers with nails sticking out of the floor and fans throwing stuff at me and I loved it! There's just enough evidence that Oscar was an insufferable curmudgeon that he vacillated as high as no. 6 and as low as no. 12 for my Pantheon over a three-month span, ultimately settling here.
We know this much: every teammate and opponent revered his talents; the consensus seems to be "Jordan before Jordan"; and even West admits that it took him three or four years just to catch up to Oscar's level. But since every laudatory Oscar story centers around his uncanny consistency and not quotes like "nobody was better when it mattered" and "this guy could turn chicken shit into chicken salad," how can we reconcile his phenomenal individual success with his undeniable lack of team success? His supporting cast was serviceable from 1961 to 1966 (Lucas, Twyman, Embry, and '66 All-Star MVP Adrian Smith were his four best teammates); you could argue his teams slightly overachieved by finishing 60 games over .500, going 55-25 in '64 and dragging two Russell teams to a deciding playoff game. On the flip side, he played with quality players from '67 to '70 — not just Lucas and Smith, but youngsters who went on to bigger and better things, like Jon McGlocklin, Bob Love, Happy Hairston, and Tom Van Arsdale — and never dominated an increasingly diluted league. Considering Jordan's supporting cast was equally uninspired and his league was tougher, it's hard to fathom why Jordan's teams kept improving while Oscar's teams wilted over time. Both were famously brutal with teammates, only Jordan's competitiveness boosted his team's collective confidence while Oscar chipped away at it. Can you succeed when you're petrified of letting your best guy down? Beyond that, can you succeed when your best scorer also happens to be the guy running your team? Obviously not. The Royals never won anything … and really, never did anyone else who fit that category.6
The bigger problem is that Oscar's top-ten resume rests mostly on one thing: his dominance from 1961 to 1965, when he averaged a triple double and unleashed holy hell from the guard position.7 Those numbers make more sense than you'd think. Much like Wilt, Oscar was four or five years ahead of his time from a physical standpoint. There were only four "modern" guards during Oscar's rookie season; since the other three (Sam Jones, Greer, and West) were shooting guards, Oscar physically overpowered defenders the same way that Wilt boned up on the Darrell Imhoffs and Walt Bellamys. Imagine if 2009 Dwyane Wade played against a steady stream of Jason Terrys and Steve Blakes every night for 70 games, and for the other 12 he had to play against Kobe and Pierce. Then imagine every power forward was six foot six and under, and imagine there were only seven elite centers in a thirty-team league. Next, imagine he played in a run-and-gun era where there were 80 rebounds and 120 field goal attempts available every game.Would Wade average a 35-10-10 for the season? Of course he would. How is that different from Oscar's situation as a rookie? There were eight teams and eighty-eight players total, along with an unwritten "don't have more than two black guys on your roster" rule. So in a peculiar twist, some of Oscar's early success happened because of racism. Unleashing Oscar on a mostly white NBA in 1960 was like unleashing a horny Madonna on a nightclub filled with good-looking twenty-year-old Hispanic dancers. Check out the cream of the crop for Oscar's first season.
1961 All-Stars (guards): Oscar and Greer (black); West, Cousy, Tom Gola, Gene Shue, Larry Costello, Hot Rod Hundley, Richie Guerin (white)
1961 assist leaders (guards in top twenty): Oscar, Guy Rodgers (black); West, Cousy, Gola, Shue, Costello, Hundley, Guerin, Johnny McCarthy, Bucky Bockhorn,8 Chuck Noble (white)9
KC Jones, Al Attles and West were Oscar's only opponents who could dream of handling him physically. Oscar used his size with scorching results, backing smaller players down, finding his favorite spots 15 feet from the hoop, then turning around and shooting over whomever. The Big O mastered a deadly high-post game that hadn't even been invented yet — like watching a Wild West duel where one guy pulls out a revolver and the other guy pulls out an Uzi. Within five years, the color of the league changed, the pace of the games slowed and Oscar lost that Uzi/revolver advantage to some degree.
1966 All-Stars (guards): Oscar, Greer, Rodgers, Sam Jones, Eddie Miles (black); West, Ohl, Adrian Smith (white)
1966 assist leaders (guards in top twenty): Oscar, Rodgers, Wilkens, Greer, Mahdi Abdul-Rahman, Dick Barnett, Wali Jones, Sam Jones (black); West, Guerin, Ohl, Adrian Smith, Kevin Loughery, Howard Komives, Johnny Egan (white)
Is that why Oscar's stats dropped slightly (28-6-10 from '66-'70) when he should have been peaking like West?10 The Royals never won a playoff series after 1965; from 1968 to 1970, they missed the postseason completely as Oscar gained weight and said things like "My primary purpose is to get the team moving, establish community out there and make some money." There was no magic in his game, just a quality that Frank Deford described in 1968 as "eerily consistent," adding, "In eight years as a pro he has never averaged less than 28.3 points a game or more than 31.4, and in six of the eight years his average varied less than a point. In assists and free throws he has maintained the same level of consistency. He is like a .333 hitter who arrived at that figure by going 1 for 3 with one walk in every game of the season."11 Instead of Mr. Clutch, Oscar was Mr. Groundhog Day. That went for his personality, too. He grumbled about being underpaid and marginalized so relentlessly that the Royals swapped him for Gus Johnson, only Oscar pushed for a $700K extension from Baltimore before vetoing the trade. (Before you excuse his behavior by saying, "The guy was frustrated, he just wanted to win," consider Magic Johnson's plight late in his career. He was saddled with Kareem's corpse in '89, a Mychal Thompson/Vlade Divac center combo in '90, then a Divac/Sam Perkins combo in '91. His best teammate was Worthy, an excellent player who couldn't crack my top forty-five. His second-best teammate was Byron Scott, never an All-Star and a textbook "right time, right place guy." In a loaded league, did Magic give up, point fingers or demand a trade? Nope. He averaged 59 wins per year and dragged the Lakers to two Finals.)12 When the Royals shipped Oscar to Milwaukee, I know it's romantic to think, "They just wanted to give him a chance at a ring." Here's the reality: Cousy decided Oscar wasn't worth big money anymore and sent him packing for 40 cents on the dollar, then tabbed Tiny Archibald to replace him.13 The following players would never have been traded unless they demanded out: Bird, Magic, Jordan, West, Duncan, Shaq, Hakeem or Russell. In Oscar's case, the Royals moved in a different direction. Big difference.
Clearly, something was a little off with the Big O. You never heard the word "happy" with him, except for that transcendent '71 season when the Bucks destroyed everyone in their path. He ended up leaving Milwaukee just as unhappily as he'd left Cincinnati, furious that the team lowballed him (in Oscar's mind) before the '75 season. Sam Goldpaper's subsequent New York Times story started, "Pro basketball has lost what once was its greatest and most complete player. Oscar Robertson, after 14 seasons and many contract disputes, announced his retirement last night." You couldn't get through the second sentence of Oscar's basketball obituary without finding something negative. Twenty-eight years later, Jack McCallum's SI feature wondering why Oscar had effectively disappeared from basketball started, "The Big O is known in basketball circles for being the Big Grind, a hoops curmudgeon who protests that in his day the players were better, the coaches smarter, the ball rounder. The reputation is not entirely undeserved. But today — 40 years after a season in which he averaged a triple double in points, rebounds and assists — Oscar Robertson wants you to know that he does not spend his hours stewing in a kettle of his own bile. Well, wants you to know is a little strong because, frankly, he doesn't much care what you think."
Again, complimentary … but negative. Nobody sifted through Oscar's never-ending acrimony well enough to figure him out. Even when he heroically donated a kidney to his ailing daughter in 1997 (saving her life), the moment came and went; you probably didn't remember until I reminded you. His biggest legacy had nothing to do with talent: Oscar's ballsy performance as president of the Players Association led to skyrocketing contracts, the ABA/NBA merger, an overhaul of free agency and every eight-figure deal we see today, only he never gets credit because the struggles of NBA players haven't been romanticized by writers or documentarians. Even stranger, of all the NBA legends who ever lived, only Oscar doesn't belong to a current franchise because the Royals moved to Kansas City in 1973 (and then Sacramento in 1985). He can't go back home like Russell/Bird in Boston, or Magic/West/Kareem in Los Angeles, or even Willis/Clyde/Ewing in New York, simply because home doesn't exist. He's a historical nomad. He belongs to nobody. And maybe it's better that way. To this day, Oscar remains damaged goods — a victim of his vile racial climate, someone who battled a rare form of post-traumatic stress disorder that can't be defined. As his teammate during Oscar's prime, you would have respected the hell out of him, you would have felt sorry for him, you would have marveled at him … but ultimately, I'm not sure you would have enjoyed playing with him that much. This was a man who decided during the epilogue of his book, "Once I heard someone say that in order to write love songs, you have to have been through some bad times. To write a love song, you had to have your heart broken. If that's the case, I can state right here and now that I could write the greatest songs in the world."
Of all the injuries that determined the ninety-six spots of my Pyramid, I can tell you this much: Oscar Robertson's broken heart resonates the most.14

Not necessarily a good thing. Why? Nobody played defense, and every game looked like a disjointed All-Star contest or even worse a college pickup game where nobody runs back on D because they're sweating out the previous night's keg party. The '61 Celtics led the league in scoring (124.5 per game) and averaged 119.5 field goal attempts and 33.5 free throw attempts. To put those numbers in perspective, the 2008 Celtics averaged 76 field goal attempts and 26 free throw attempts per game. That's insane. Play suffered so badly that NBC dropped the NBA one year later despite a memorable '62 Finals.1 The following season ('63), commissioner Maurice Podoloff slapped together a production team to "broadcast" the All-Star Game and the NBA Finals, then sold a syndication package to local affiliates around the country like it was Cheaters or The Steve Wilkos Show. Unbelievable.
Because of the inordinately high number of possessions, the statistics from 1958 to 1962 need to be taken with an entire shaker of salt and possibly a saltwater taffy factory.
Within five seasons, scoring increased by 18.6 points, field goal attempts increased by more than 4 per quarter, there were nearly 18 more rebounds available for each team and shooting percentages improved as teams played less and less defense.
1956-57 72 6,809 4,494 38.0 99.6
1957-58 72 7,333 5,160 38.3 106.7
1958-59 72 7,368 5,043 39.5 108.4
1959-60 75 8,151 5,513 41.0 115.4
1960-61 75 8,642 5,789 41.5 118.1
Then the '62 season rolled around and the following things happened:
1. Wilt averaged 50 points
2. Oscar averaged a triple double
3. Walt Bellamy averaged a 32-19
4. Russell averaged 23.6 boards and fell two behind Wilt for the rebound title
Hard to take those numbers at face value, right? And that's before factoring in offensive goaltending (legal at the time), the lack of athletic big men (significant) and poor conditioning (which meant nobody played defense). I watched a DVD of Wilt's 73-point game in New York and two things stood out: First, he looked like a McDonald's All-American center playing junior high kids; nobody had the size or strength to consider dealing with him. Second, because of the balls-to-the-wall speed of the games, the number of touches Wilt received per quarter was almost unfathomable. Wilt averaged nearly 40 field goal attempts and another 17 free throw attempts per game during his 50-point season. Exactly forty years later, Shaq and Kobe averaged a combined 52 points a game on nearly the same amount of combined field-goal/free-throw attempts.2 Things leveled off once teams started taking defense a little more seriously, although it took a full decade to slow down and resemble what we're seeing now statistically (at least a little). Here's a snapshot every four years from 1962 on. Notice how possessions, rebound totals and point totals began to drop; how shooting percentages kept climbing; and beyond that, how the numbers jumped around from '62 to '74 to '86 to '94 to '04 to '08.4
1961-62 80 8,619 5,713 42.6 118.8
1965-66 80 8,195 5,458 43.3 115.5
1969-70 82 8,147 4,336 46.0 116.7
1973-74 82 7,697 3,955 45.9 105.7
1977-78 82 7,615 3,863 46.9 108.5
1981-82 82 7,236 3,565 49.1 108.6
1985-86 82 7,268 3,572 48.7 110.2
1989-90 82 7,146 3,538 47.6 107.0
1993-94 82 6,924 3,526 46.6 101.5
1997-98 82 6,536 3,407 45.0 95.6
2003-04 82 6,545 3,461 43.9 93.43
2007-08 82 6,683 3,442 45.7 99.9
Compare the numbers from '62 and '08 again. Still impressed by Oscar's triple double or Wilt slapping up a 50-25 for the season? Sure … but not as much.
Partly Cloudy

Why 7 Deadly Diseases Strike Blacks Most
Health care disparities heighten disease differences between African-Americans and white Americans.

Several deadly diseases strike black Americans harder and more often than they do white Americans.
Fighting back means genetic research. It means changing the system for testing new drugs. It means improving health education. It means overcoming disparities in health care. It means investments targeted to the health of black Americans. And the evidence so far indicates that these investments will pay health dividends not just for racial minorities, but for everyone.

Oh cool, they added the Monolith arkfall I mentioned wanting a few weeks ago.
Also it's kinda cool that you can play as a Casthian and have the [cut beta content] Charge weapons back with improvements.
Though it's kinda bogus that the Casthian class is a $10 DLC and then that you ALSO have to pay to re-spec your race into one on top of it... The paid version should include a Casthian coupon or something. =/
Now it's just time to see what all of these things break.... Anyone taking bets that changing your characters name will automatically boot you from whatever clan you happen to be in? I am...
Edit: Also I'll probably flip a table if the Casthian version if Irisa's jacket is the old Purple one that male characters used to have pre-patch. I still want my purple jacket back.

I was sitting in front of my computer tonight trying to come up with a new pattern. Some nights the creative juices flow easier than others. I noticed an email had arrived. It was a reader suggesting I make a bud vase that matched the Candle Stick Holder and Table Clock patterns from this weekend. Good idea. Here it is.
The glass bud vase should be easy to locate. I purchased mine at Michaels Arts and Crafts store for $1.99. The glass vase is made by Libbey. It is 7 1/2" tall and 1 3/4" in diameter.
Some simple pattern modification would make larger or smaller glass vases fit.

Released: Dec 01st, 1998
Running Time: 83
Company: Fat Dog Productions
Cast: Lacy Ogden, Candy Vegas, Amber (I), Lauren Montgomery, Peris Blue, Ashley Renee, Jennifer Leigh
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
A one-note video; filler for an all-girl section.
Affair is a pussy-licker's dream. Lots and lots of split beavers being licked clean. Over and over and over. Occasionally, a dildo makes an appearance, and some nipples are sucked, but basically it's pussies being tongue-flossed. For some reason, this never really catches fire. Part of it is the videography. It's either shot from too far away or it's not bright enough. And part of it is the monotony. A little more variety would pick things up. Like spanking, anal, beads, etc.

Arthur Irvine
Rt Hon Sir Arthur James Irvine, QC (14 July 1909 – 15 December 1978) was a British barrister and politician. He was the Labour MP for Liverpool Edge Hill from the 1947 by-election until he died aged 69.
Irvine was educated at Edinburgh Academy and Oriel College, Oxford, where he was president of the Oxford Union in 1932. He became a barrister in 1935, when he was called by Middle Temple, and became secretary to the Lord Chief Justice 1935-40. He became Queen's Counsel in 1958 [1] and recorder of Colchester in 1965.[2] In 1937, Irvine stood as a Liberal candidate at Bethnal Green North East in the London County Council elections.
In his first two unsuccessful parliamentary contests in Kincardine and West Aberdeenshire in 1935 and 1939, Irvine was a Liberal Party candidate, but later joined the Labour Party. After two further election defeats in Twickenham in 1945 and Aberdeen South in 1946, he was eventually elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Liverpool Edge Hill at the 1947 by-election.
Irvine became Solicitor General in 1967, when he was knighted and served till 1970. He became a privy councillor in the New Years Honours 1970.
His son Michael Irvine served as Conservative MP for Ipswich between 1987 and 1992.

Sorry but this plugin does nothing, you need to go around and find that it is only (maybe) functional if you pay for a bunch of money.
Please remove it from wordpress.org
You should indicate the price on the plugin front page.
Would prefer if details of any (paid or free) external services that may be required be put into the short description so I can more easily find exactly what i need at the time.
found this pluggin from a search on wordpress.org, i installed it
it didn't seem to work
so i went to the readme.txt says go to your website, I get there and am told to pay 20 dollars ( I think is more than a fair asking price but why not tell us this in the first place )
wish i would have known all this before trying to install your plugin
please offer a free ver so we can try before we buy, then i will be more than happy to give you 5 stars
This facebook chat looks good, I just purchased on the website. No order confirm, No activation, No nothing?????? I copied and pasted the codes what's given from the tawea website into my WordPress footer, not showing up??? Am I suppose to wait for some kind of email, activation, or what? Is this a scam????
erst mal geht das und dann steht da Purchase to continue dann soll mal 20 doller bezahlen
wenn man das anders gemacht hätte so wie andere Plugins das man für bestimmte sachen bezahlen muss aber das man den Plugin noch nutzen kann wäre das in Ordnung aber so ist das Mist
ich habe das wieder deinstalliert
Ótimo plugin! Gostei muito.
Só tem um porém, na configuração default dele, nem dá para vê-lo direito, é preciso desmarcar a primeira caixa das configurações. Tem como fazer isso para deixá-lo visível para todos os usuários?
Great plugin
Work fantasticThanks for the simple way it works install activate and it runs straight out of the box.
So, I was skeptical in first term because all that other chats you find in websites and no matter what you want they start spamming you while you are looking for other things in that web. But, just given a try to this plugin I found this was a nice, clean and minimalist way of having a Facebook Chat Window (!!!!!) in your very own blog. Not only that, it can be a point of meeting between all your visitors, with the Public Chat option. Anyone has a Facebook account so there's no problem with that. I also use in my website Facebook Comments and are fluently used.
Sorry for the block of text. Things had to be said.

The Good: Service was amazingly good, All four courses were interesting and very tasty, fine wine selection and drinks
The: Noisy, Warm, Pricey.
My wife and I went to Boca for date night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Be warned it is expensive ($100 each for 4 courses, drinks and coffee) but we found it a good value. The service could hardly have been better with quick service, just the right level of attention and exceptional knowledge on the servers part. We each had separate choices for each course and there were no poor dishes. The Mezzaluna, the Creme Fresh and the Fillet were really superior. The portions are "California Sized" but the courses left us happily full. We are well traveled foodies and we've seldom had a better meal.
The kitchen is open to the dining area so the restaurant is noisier than I would like. I was also a bit warmer than comfort on our night.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. — Chippewa Falls officials could expose themselves to legal problems if they OK an ordinance forcing local tavern owners to install surveillance cameras, one legal expert says.
Janine Geske, a distinguished professor of law at Marquette University Law School and former state Supreme Court justice, told Wisconsin Reporter Tuesday a case certainly could be made that the proposed law, as written, is unconstitutional.
"I think there are grounds for that argument," Geske said.

Hi I'm new to the group and want to know if there's anyone went through or is going through what I just went through and
Comments (8)
I'm so sorry, mama. Did you name your sweet boy? My son had a urinary tract obstruction also. We saw it on u/s at 12 weeks and went to see a perinatologist the next day. We saw her weekly, and his bladder was bigger at every visit. At 15 weeks did an amnio, his chromosomes were normal, and at 17 weeks went to see a fetal surgeon who was going to test kidney function and insert a shunt to drain the bladder. Unfortunately, at 17 weeks his kidneys had already shut down from the pressure of the urine backing up into them. So Evan's lungs weren't able to develop, like your son's. I'm so sorry that the specialist you saw didn't do more to help your sweet baby sooner. I'm sure it must add a whole other dimension to your grief to feel like something could have been done to save him. I didn't have that hope, but I can only imagine how agonizing that must be for you. You are in my prayers tonight. If you want to talk, feel free to message me. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Beth, mom to Aidan 4-24-08, ^^Evan^^ 4-6-10, and Zoey 6-21-11
Cocoa -- I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your little Elijah. I bet he was just incredible! I just went through a very similar experience last week (hug)... our son was diagnosed with an intestinal blockage (at 19 weeks) that would not allow fluid to pass through his digestive system. It was so painful and I felt so helpless to see him week after week with this huge mass in his abdomen filled with amniotic fluid, basically stuck inside him. We, too were told that his lungs would never develop. I wanted the doctors to do an amnioinfusion and saw 2 fetal specialists who both told me that the procedure would be useless. He would probably just swallow the fluid and it would get stuck in his stomach. But I always wonder what would've happened if they just tried.
It is so easy to blame ourselves and feel guilty... I know I do and will wonder for the end of my days if I could've done more for my son. At the end of the day I take comfort in knowing that I would have done ANYTHING, even sacrifice my own life to save my son's and that in the end the greatest sacrifice I could ever make was letting him go to a better place and freeing him from the pain and suffering he was enduring in my womb. You fought beside your little man, and you loved him endlessly -- that is proof you are a wonderful mommy. The only advice I can give you is instead of dwelling on "what ifs", focus on what you did do... you gave birth to a beautiful sweet baby, You watched him grow his angel wings and bore the ultimate sacrifice of loss for him. You loved him. You treasured him. You gave the world and the heavens above another beautiful angel who will bless all of us. You should feel pride and joy, not regret... I will pray in time that you come to do so.
And I will add Elijah to my list of prayers -- and will imagine him playing with my Gabriel in paradise.
Mommy to 2 angel babies, Gabriel Sloan (7/2012) & Baby Poppy (12/2013), and a Rainbow baby due November 2014.
I'm so sorry that you have to go through the loss of Elijah and putting the pieces of your life back together as best you can in the wake of this terrible news about his condition. You're right; only God can heal our broken hearts. I pray that you find peace to comfort your hurting soul in Him and in those moments with your sweet baby as you loved on him in your womb and in your arms.
Evan (3/14/2009) ^Ben^ (2/22/2011-Trisomy 18)
I'm really sorry for your loss. We lost our son in May @ 24 wks. My husband and I went through a similar situation. My baby's kidneys didn't developed. The right kidney was growing but, then something happened and they were not functioning. There was also a bladder problem and low fluid as well. Unfortunately, he was born sleeping in May 29. We requested all testing such as: amniocentesis, chromosome test and also microarray testing. oh, and also i had blood work done. We wanted to know exactly what was the cause for those problems. We also requested an autopsy. After, getting all my test results and knowing his diagnosis...let me tell you, yes I still cried, I felt empty, speechless. But, now i feel much better knowing that our baby angel is not suffering. His lungs were really small as well because they didn't developed. I don't know if you requested an autopsy and I don't know if you requested copies of your test results. (get copies of your results) I got copies of my test results and after reading the reports, that actually helped me heal and now I understand exactly why my baby didn't make it to this world.
It's really sad to know that there are so many babies that can't make it to this world. Even if we do everything right such as: taking pnv's, eating healthy, and taking care of ourselves. But, there is always a reason why it happens. god just wanted our babies back in heaven. I hope that you feel a little better soon. If you need to talk you can just send me a message. god bless you.
Our little angel was born sleeping May 29, 2012 @ 24 wks
Holly, Mommy to Hannah, ^Jordan^, Kyndra, ^Carleigh^, Lainey, and Evanee
I Was In A Similar Situation...
My Son Had A Virus Called CMV Its Extremly Common But Theres A New Strand That If You Get It While Your Pregnant Will Destroy The Baby From The Inside. At First It Was Just Fluid On His Brain... By The Next Ultrasound He Had Developed Hydrops... I Had My Amnio And Found Out It Was CMV. The Treatments Are Not FDA Approved There Only In Stage 2 Testing And The MFM Doctor I Had Was Not Willing To Do Them. All He Would Suggest Was Termination. By The Time I Found A Doctor Who Was Willing To Do The Procedure My Sons Brain Had Started To Die. The Right Side Was Completely Dead And The Midline Was Deteriorating (Holoprosencephaly- HPE).
So I Had To Make The Choice Of Not Getting A Procedure That Once Would Have Saved My Son Because He Might Have Lived But He Would Have Had Absolutly No Function. I Blamed My Doctor For Awhile. Im Very Sorry You Lost Little Elijah But Know God Has A Plan.
If You Ever Need To Talk Feel Free To Message Me. Also You Can Check Out My Sons Birth Story In The Link In My Siggy. I Believe Our Stories Are Similar In Some Ways.

SELECTED WORKS BY Nobuko Tsuchiya
Nobuko Tsuchiya
..."quietly now"...
mixed media
60 x 64 x 28 cm
Nobuko Tsuchiya's assemblages are primitive inventions. Antennae, rags, plastic tubing, and an old pair of shoes stand in for the workings of hi-tech equipment, their functions as obscure as some of the objects which compose them
Nobuko Tsuchiya
Table Rabbit
mixed media
160 x 270 x 160 cm
It's this design element of Nobuko Tsuchiya's work which is most alluring. Each sculpture revels in its impoverished minimalism, almost zen-like its poetic accuracy, while at the same time alluding to an ancient and un-evolved Japanese Pop.
Nobuko Tsuchiya
Sister of Nike
mixed media
160 x 100 x 100 cm
Sister of Nike
could be a satellite dish,
Your Chair
an atomically fuelled cartoon prank, and
Table Rabbit
has something just a little too Hello KittyŌäó about it.
Nobuko Tsuchiya
... with an asparagus pillow ...
mixed media
104.5 x 90 x 42 cm
Formed from spindly make-shift pipes and air ducts, thereŌĆÖs something sinister underlying Nobuko TsuchiyaŌĆÖs Luddite cutesy-ness.
Nobuko Tsuchiya
Parking Fish Project
mixed media
77 x 36 x 43 cm
Haywire tubes feeding to and from dishes of mysterious liquid, ŌĆśelectronicŌĆÖ connections held together with wooden clothes pegs, and vials suspended with bits of string: thereŌĆÖs an overwhelming possibility that her experiments might explode at any moment.
Nobuko Tsuchiya
Your Chair
mixed media
50 x 176 x 50 cm
ŌĆ£Not everything is as it appears in my work, not everything is done on purpose. My decisions are made by using what you could call a different form of thinking, and are made to operate between harmony and discord, control and the lack of it. I always try to develop the conversation between the things in my work and myself. Maybe this sounds idiotic, but it is my honest feeling."
Nobuko Tsuchiya
They Jumped
mixed media
76 x 97 x 40 cm
Nobuko Tsuchiya "different form of thinking" and quietly dramatic feel for her materials result in works that are at once threatening and beguiling.
Nobuko Tsuchiya
... once upon a time ...
mixed media
74 x 70 x 46 cm
Each sculpture revels in its impoverished minimalism, almost zen-like its poetic accuracy, while at the same time alluding to an ancient and un-evolved Japanese Pop.

Everything sounds yummy, but a little too froo-froo for a state fair. And where's the battering and frying? I went to the Texas state fair and enjoyed my deep-fried butter. :-)

Grizzlies tea party at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Landon Brereton, a patient at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, looked up at Grizzlies' seven-foot center Marc Gasol in the lobby of the Grizzlies House to ask if Gasol would please autograph his basketball. Gasol signed the basketball, but little did he know, he signed right next to his brother's autograph from several years ago. Diagnosed with a deadly form of brain cancer, Landon has been in and out of treatment at St.

The leaves outside my windows!
Straight out my window!
I´ve been so busy lately setting up the new theme list for painterly photos +Daily PaintIt Community Themes, that there was not much time for walking around to shoot. Instead when I felt the urge to shoot, I just point the camera out my window – and why not, I love the flowers in front of my window with the ocean in the background :)

Preparing for Xmas or what!?
There are so many new leaves starting to break through on the Poinsettias here on La Gomera. They start green and around November the slowly transform into red. Just like one of the leaves on this pic I shot one week ago is about to do – a little late for Xmas though. But I don´t think it has spend years in schools to learn how to interact in the world … it just grows when it´s time for that!
Have a great day :)

Precision Sound-Image-Localization Technique Utilizing Multitrack Tape Masters
Although artificial-head (dummy-head) recordings offer precise sound localization and presence, they are generally restricted to 2-channel recording and headphone listening. A new technique is described which electronically synthesizes the paramteres of an artificial head so that it is possible to utilize multitrack recordings which were made without using an artificial head. Also described is a signal-processing technique which makes it possible to enjoy binaural recordings through loudspeakers. The technique applies to quadraphonic sound as well. In either case, the process actually takes place during the mixdown session.

Decent hotel. Clean but lots of trucks in the parking lot from contractors. Grab n go breakfast is a joke. Lots of food nearby. Location is quiet and clean. Staff was friendly and check in was fast and easy. Kitchen table as a bit sticky but otherwise clean. Only stayed one night and a good value for the price.

Music No New Religion
posted by January 15 at 14:22 PMon
One fact that suggests that this is indeed "the age of reality," as LKJ once put it, is that the album here pictured did not establish a new religion:
This music is much like those galactic clouds of dust and gas; clouds that were ejaculated from the lives of earlier stars. The molecular materials, particulate matter, atomic stuff of these clouds form new stars, new points of fusion in the vacuum from which all comes and to which all returns. And in the beginning of what now is everything, matter became matter because it preferred not being matter. That instinct—the preference that made the universe, gasses, dust, and stars possible—is with us (within us) to this day. It is the source of all religions. Which gets us to The Black Saint and Sinner Lady. In this music, not only do we have the materials for religious belief, for the experience of something that feels total—and truth is always the whole truth—but also a celebration of the preference to be, to exist, to thrive. Here we hear the most gravid passions of Mingus's genius and it is a wonder that a new faith in the future did not condense within the rich and erotic cloud of his music. Ours must truly be the sober age of "science and technology."

Ubisoft Teases New Call of Juarez Game
Written Wednesday, September 05, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Looks like Ubisoft is set to announce another Call of Juarez game.
The Facebook page for the Call of Juarez series now features a cover photo showing a mean and moody looking cowboy dude and a date: 09.06.12.
The image would seem to suggest that Ubisoft is planning to reveal another Call of Juarez game and a return to the roots of the series. The last Call of Juarez, subtitled The Cartel, shifted the action of the first two games from the Wild West to modern times and was utterly pants. Here's hoping that the new game can do better.
Of course, this is all speculation. Maybe Ubisoft will take the series even further into the future and that dude in the picture is a robot! Or maybe not. We'll find out for sure tomorrow.
Previous Juarez games have been made by Dead Island devs Techland, who are currently working on Dead Island: Riptide.

Inspired from the commentary on this question.
How far apart do two objects have to be for the gravitational force between them to be negligible? By negligible I mean, that it could never be measured rather than a technical limitation that results in a measurement/force of zero and/or the accuracy of the measurement is too imprecise to be of use.
Basically when is the force to small to ever be measured, now or in the future? Is there a limiting distance?

I have been trying to filter out a specific kind of spam that Akismet does not catch. The common thread of the spam is that the body of the spam comment only contains something like this: "???? ?????" or ????? ????????!!!!!!!!!!!!).
I tried using the WordPress admin Settings>Discussion>Comment Moderation or Comment Blacklist box to catch any comment with "???", but it does not work. I have other terms in there like "porn" and it does catch those. It just seems to ignore the line with the question marks.
I am getting several of these spam comments every day. Does anyone know how to catch them? I could add a captcha plugin, I guess, but I don't really like those.

Oct. 3, 1935

Taylor County
Texas, USA
Cross Plains, Texas -- Donna Jean Burleson, age 74, passed from the hands of her husband and daughter Tuesday morning, March 9, 2010 into the hands of God. She was an educator of almost 40 years of nursing students in Abilene, TX, Funeral services will be at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 14, 2010 at the First Baptist Church in Cross Plains with Pastor Ronnie B. White officiating; burial will follow in the Cross Plains Memorial Cemetery. She is beloved, and she will be missed.
Donna was born Oct. 3, 1935 in Waterloo, Iowa to Helen and William Cole Tillotson and was raised in Jesup, Iowa. She attended nursing school in Iowa at the Allen Memorial Hospital Nursing Diploma Program. She scored the highest in the state nursing exam upon graduation. She shared this important fact on her first date with USAF Lt. John Burleson, who was stationed at the Chanute AFB in Rantoul, Illinois. They met at the First Baptist Church where John was teaching a class. After a seven month engagement, they were united in marriage on April 27, 1957 in Waterloo, Iowa. They lived in Ardmore, Oklahoma, Nashville, Tennessee, Jacksboro, Texas, Las Vegas, Nevada, El Tigre and Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela before settling in Cross Plains, TX for the last 41 years. While in Venezuela, she honed her skills in golf, a game which her mother had taught her and which she passed on to her sons, and became fluent in Spanish. She was able to use her language skill and her compassion for others after moving to Texas working at the Migrant Clinic in De Leon, TX and assisting in communications between local farmers and their migrant workers.
In 1972, Donna joined Cisco Junior College as a faculty nurse instructor and helped to build the Licensed Vocational and Registered Nurse programs in Abilene. It became her life's work. She achieved the position of Chair of Health Occupation Education at the college. She earned her Bachelors degree in Nursing from Angelo State University and two Masters Degrees, one from ACU, another from Texas Tech University while managing the nursing programs for CJC. Donna was a person with a love of learning and teaching, and she enjoyed showing her children and her students (as well as her husband) the wider world beyond their experience.
Donna also served the First Baptist Church of Cross Plains for 41 years, teaching Sunday school classes and actively participating in church life. She was devoted to her faith and to God, and her final days were comforted by that faith and the visits of her friends and family. When asked if she was frightened about what lay ahead, she replied, "No?just curious". She was in more pain than she would admit to during these last few weeks, but she is now at peace with the angels.
Donna waged a 4 year battle with breast cancer. She was treated at Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene, Texas, under the care of Dr. Ralph Heaven, who had studied with Dr. Dan Von Hoff of the Translational Genomics Institute. A memorial fund has been established in Donna's name at the Translational Genomics Research Institute in Phoenix. AZ; her daughter-in-law, Tess Burleson is the Chief Operation Officer. The fund will be used for breast cancer research. If you wish to donate to the fund, you can visit the website, www.HelpTGen.org. or send your donation to: Donna Burleson Memorial Fund, TGen Foundation, 400 E Van Buren, Suite 850, Phoenix, AZ 85004
She was survived by her husband John Dee Burleson of Lake Brownwood; daughter Ruth Ellen Hutchins and husband Ronnie of Potosi; sons, Bill Burleson and wife Tess of Phoenix, AZ and Matt Burleson and wife Susan Ann of Mabank; sister Colene Sachanowski and husband Alan of Emigrant, MT; six grandchildren Jessi Ruiz, Clint, Katharine (Morris) and Kyle Hutchins, Amanda and Cole Burleson.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Cole and Helen Tillotson and brother-in-law, Don Burleson.
Visitation will be Saturday from 6 o 8 at Higginbotham Funeral Home.

Located at the southern tip of Sumatra, 110 km from Bandarlampung, the Way Kambas National Park (WKNP) is one of the oldest reserves in Indonesia. It occupies 1,300 sq km of coastal lowland forest around the Way Kambas River on the east coast of the province of Lampung. WKNP is closely associated with elephants, since aside from being a sanctuary for these gentle giants, the national park is also known as their training ground.
Way Kambas was established as a game reserve by the Dutch administration in 1937. Sadly, between 1954 and 1974 it was intensively logged. In 1978, it was proposed as a national park, with provisional declaration in 1989, and final declaration in 1997.
It is believed that approximately 200 Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranensis) live within the park. The Sumatran elephant is one of three recognized subspecies of the Asian Elephant, and native to Sumatra Island. In general, Asian elephants are smaller than those of Africa and have the highest body point on the head. Among the Asian elephants, the Sumatran elephants are the smallest, with a shoulder height ranging between 2 meters and 3.2 meters (6.6 ft. to 10.5 ft). Wild Sumatran elephants were formerly found in eight provinces of Sumatra. However, the dense and tangled vegetation of the tropical rainforests there makes it difficult to estimate their exact number.
Officially established in 1985, the Elephant Training Center, located 9 km from the park's Plang Ijo entrance, is an establishment aimed to protect the existence of the elephant and at the same time create mutual benefit for both the elephants and men. The training center is also a reminiscent of the time when kings or sultans ruled Sumatra, when elephants were trained and deployed in warfare and also for ceremonial purposes. Here, visitors can observe elephants perform various tasks such as transporting lumber or plowing fields. They can also perform peculiar activities such as playing football or other entertaining performances.
Also operating in the park is the Sumatra Rhino Sanctuary (SRS), where rhinos, formerly held in captivity are introduced to natural surroundings in the hope of successful breeding. The breeding center was established in 1995, and encompasses 100 hectares (247 acres) for propagation, research and education. The five Sumatran rhinos (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis ) living at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary - Rosa, Ratu, Bina, Torgamba, and Andalas - serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts. They also act as specimens for education for local communities and the general public and play a vital part to ensure the continuous existence of their species.
The area around Way Kanan, a sub-district of the park is frequently visited by birdwatchers. Of the most remarkable species are the white-winged ducks and the Storm's stork.
Other mammals that also inhabit the national park include: the Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae), the tapir (Tapirus indicus), the jungle dogs (Cuon alpinus sumatrensis), and the siamang monkeys (Hylobates syndactylus syndactylus). Among the 406 species of birds are: the Jungle ducks (Cairina scutulata), sandang lawe Herons (Ciconia episcopus stormi), tong-tong Herons (Leptoptilos javanicus), blue sempidan (Lophura ignita), kuau (Argusianus argus argus), and pecuk ular (Anhinga melanogaster). There are also numerous reptiles, fish, and insects within the sanctuary of WKNP.
WKNP is also home for many exotic floras. Among them are: api-api (Avicennia marina), pidada (Sonneratia sp.), nipah (Nypa fruticans), gelam (Melaleuca leucadendron), salam (Syzygium polyanthum), rawang (Glochidion borneensis), ketapang (Terminalia cattapa), cemara laut (Casuarina equisetifolia), pandan (Pandanus sp.), puspa (Schima wallichii), meranti (Shorea sp.), minyak (Dipterocarpus gracilis), and ramin (Gonystylus bancanus).

2. Way Kanan Resort
About 13 km from the entrance to the park is Way Kanan. Here you can find a collection of simple guesthouses, with price ranging from IDR 75,000 to IDR 200,000. The accommodation is simple but adequate with clean linen provided, and mosquito coils or nets are advisable. There is no food available at Way Kanan so it is necessary to bring your own. There is a warung at the Elephant Training Center but it is only open during the day so it is advisable to bring your own evening meal. There is a good market at Rajabasa Lama and it is possible to buy essentials such as coffee, noodles, and sardines at the park's gate shop at Plang Ijo. For more information, you can contact Mr. Slamet Riyadi: +62 853 7780 5517.
3. Elephant Training Center
There are several wooden lodges at the elephant Training Center for researchers and Ecotourists. Located pleasantly near the Elephant Bathing pool, the lodges can accomodate up to 4 persons per rooms and charges IDR 200,000 per rooms. For more information, you can also contact Mr.Slamet Riyadi : +62 853 7780 5517
4. Way Kambas National Park Camping Ground
For the ultimate outback experience, you can set up tents at the Plang Ijo Watch post, please chceck in to the officer in charge and get the entry permit or SIMAKSI if you wish to camp at the National Park.
5. YESTOYA Club House Hotel
If you wish to venture to Way Kambas National Park, but still looking for the convenience of modern facilities, you can check yourself in at the Yestoya Club House Hotel at the small town of Way Jepara just 15-20 minutes from the main entrance to Way Kambas National park. The Yestoya Club House Hotel provides Air Conditioner, water heater, Television, and refrigerator on each room. There are also a swimming pool and fitness center facility for the guests. The room rate ranging from IDR 220,000 to IDR330,000.

A permit to enter WKNP can be obtained at the gate. They can also be obtained from the conservation HQ in Bandar Lampung (Balai Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam 11). These offices are half a kilometer up the hill from Rajabasa Lama bus station on the left hand side – look for another elephant stone statue. Everyone at the office is very friendly and helpful and will be able to give you further details about Way Kambas.
If you are using public transport, the simplest route is taking a bus from Rajabasa Terminal in Bandar Lampung in the direction of Way Jepara. Get off at the stone elephant at Rajabasa Lama Village, Way Jepara, and resume by an "Ojek" or motorbike taxi ride to the Way Kanan or the Elephant Training Centre (ETC), which is the entrance to WKNP. Keep in mind that the last direct bus back to Rajabasa Lama returns at 15.00 hrs Western Indonesia Time, and it is best if you arrive before dusk, since the "Ojek" driver won't drive you there after this time. The whole trip would take approximately around 2-3 hours. Alternatively, from Bandar Lampung, you can catch a bus to Metro and subsequently another bus to Rajabasa Lama which also last around 2-3 hours.
If you happen to use or rent a car, from Bandar Lampung take the Kota Bumi Road northward and just follow the serial elephant signs that will easily take you to WKNP. It is possible to hire a taxi from Bandar Lampung to Way Kambas but it is considerably more expensive. From Bandarlampung to east Lampung district, the roads are relatively in good condition. However, as you enter Sukadana area the trip will get a little bumpy since some parts of the road are in poor condition. From Way Jepara market to the entrance of WKNP the poorly condition road last for about 5 Km.

Darrell Ankarlo Dances Shirtless, Caresses Six-Pack to the Tune of Macho Man...Well, at Least on KTARsucks.com
KTARSucks.com's video on Ankarlo's homophobic tendencies.
Back on March 9, I told you about my new favorite Web site KTARsucks.com. That's the site that skewers local wing-nut hate jock Darrell Ankkkarlo and keep an eye on all the moonhowlin' nitwittery he's spitting on air every morn at KTAR 92.3 FM, home to a passel of right-wing, Hispanic-hatin' hillbillies. Well, save for Jay Lawrence, who as an old-school conservative, is the closest thing KTAR has to a liberal.
Anyway, the main reason to despise KTAR is Herman Munster lookalike Ankarlo, whose grating voice and Archie Bunker attitudes regarding race relations, immigration, and just about any other social issue known to man give him all the intellectual authority of an unfrozen cave man on the subject of Television. Ankarlo hates on gays, blacks, Mexicans, Democrats, Barack Obama, and so on, all while trying to sound like the Joe the Plumber next door.
KTAR's Ankarlo Hates on Gays REMIX from KTARSUCKSdotCOM on Vimeo
KTARsucks.com recently took on Ankarlo's homophobia, mixing snippets of some of Ankarlo's anti-gay sentiments with some amusing animation of Ankarlo dancing shirtless to the tune of the Village People's Macho Man, while rubbing himself more often than George Michael in a men's restroom. The site followed up with a "remix" starring Ankarlo and other Republicans such as Jon Kyl and John McCain. Both are hi-larious, and worth a watch.

The baby of the shuttle fleet, Endeavour replaced Challenger, which exploded during liftoff in 1986, killing seven astronauts. It thundered off the launch pad 25 times, orbited Earth nearly 4,700 times and racked up 123 million miles.
Last month, it wowed throngs with a dizzying aerial loop, soaring over the state Capitol, Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood Sign and other California landmarks while strapped to the back of a modified 747 before finally landing at LAX.
The last leg of Endeavour's retirement journey skips the tourist attractions and instead, winds through blue-collar communities in southern Los Angeles County. While viewing will be severely curtailed due to sidewalk shutdowns, crowds are still expected.
Moving the Endeavour required a specialized carrier typically used to haul oil rigs, bridges and heavy equipment. The wheels can spin in any direction, allowing the shuttle to zigzag past obstacles. An operator walks alongside, controlling the movements via joystick. Several spotters along the wings are on the lookout for hazards.
To make room for the five-story-tall shuttle and its 78-foot wingspan, some 400 trees were chopped down, cable and telephone lines were raised, and steel plates were laid down to protect the streets and underground utilities.
Endeavour will mostly travel on wide boulevards with some boasting as many lanes as a freeway. While there have been advance preparations, there is remaining work to be done during the move, including de-energizing power lines. Southern California Edison warned of outages in the suburb of Inglewood.
One of the trickiest parts involves trundling through a narrow residential street with apartment buildings on both sides. With Endeavour's wings expected to intrude into driveways, residents have been told to stay indoors until the shuttle passes.
The route was selected after ruling out other options. Dismantling the shuttle would have ruined the delicate heat tiles. Helicoptering it to its destination was not feasible. Neither was crossing on freeways since the shuttle is too big to fit through the underpasses. The cost of transporting it cross-town was estimated at over $10 million.
As complex as the latest endeavor is, Southern California is no stranger to moving heavy things.
In 1946, Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" aircraft was built in sections and hauled from Culver City to Long Beach, 30 miles away. In 1984, an old United Airlines DC-8, with its wings and tail disassembled, was towed from Long Beach to the science center.
Earlier this year, a two-story-tall chunk of granite was hauled 105 miles from a rock quarry to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
