Here's a short video produced by documentary filmmaker Jon Cooksey and his team at How To Boil a Frog, featuring DeSmog Project co-founder Jim Hoggan. Enjoy!
And check out the How to Boil a Frog "Frog Blog" when you're done the video.

I can't believe he actually said that!
So Hoggan thinks any organisation which takes issue with the AGW hysteria agenda should be illegal. Priceless.

"In modern psychology and psychiatry, hysteria is a feature of hysterical disorders in which a patient experiences physical symptoms that have a psychological, rather than an organic, cause; and histrionic personality disorder characterized by excessive emotions, dramatics, and attention-seeking behavior."
Based on the grammar and vocabulary typically used in their blog messages, including yours, deniers display far more hysteria than any others.
Psychological projection is
Psychological projection is frequently displayed by denialists:
…In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes one's own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions to others. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the ego recognize them… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection

There Oughta Be a Law!
Interesting that the Smogblog braintrust has absolutely nothing to say about Hoggan's desire, that arguing with the Global Warming liturgy be criminalized.
Interesting, too, that virtually all of Hoggan's complaints and allegations against his ideological enemies, are things that he, himself, is flagarantly guilty in practise.

Or in general read
Or in general read scientific literature perhaps no access to any? Rob likely still denies despite evidence provided many times over that rising CO2 is due to human burning of fossil fuels and other activities
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
Stifling CO2 levels
Rob always goes strangely quiet whenever you call him out on a point of fact.
But for review, let's try this:
CO2 levels in the atmosphere are one-third higher today than at any time during which humans have walked the planet.
The increase has occurred since humans discovered and began burning fossil fuels - and most of the increase has occurred in the last half century.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas: its presence in the atmosphere traps heat.
(Those are facts, Rob, though you're welcome to weigh in with your "interpretation.")
Hoggan said that lying to people about those facts is immoral and should be illegal. In fact, it WAS illegal when the cigarette companies did it. It also might well be found to be illegal if it was being done directly by companies with demonstrable self-interest - a point that Jim also made.
So, we have third-party think tanks, conceived and created to mislead the public and to indemnify the corporate types who don't want to risk liability by saying this stuff themselves. And Rob thinks it is somehow outrageous to suggest that's a bad thing - maybe even a thing that should be against the law.
The problem is that none of this is "priceless." We're all gonna pay - no matter how long Rob and his ilk continue to argue about when and how much.
Hello? Hello, Rob?
Are you there? Anything to say there, Rob? Any science to refute these basic facts? We're waiting …

Our work to build healthy communities, families and individuals is at the heart of Mercy Corps' vision for social change. By partnering with a range of partners, from village health committees to government agencies, we help build the means to improve maternal, newborn and child health, ensure proper nutrition and combat infectious diseases.
All stories about Health
Uganda: Acting up for healthier communities
There's been a lot of action in northern Uganda lately. But in an area still recovering from the government's 21-year war with the Lord' Resistance Army, this is, for once, a welcome kind of drama.
Niger: Families seek food assistance
Due to worsening food shortages, the nutritional screening centers that Mercy Corps established several years ago have experienced a massive increase in patients.
Niger: Mother and child in Niger
One of many mothers worried about the lack of food for their children after severe drought and a meager 2011 harvest have brought the lean season to Filingue and the rest of Niger months early.
Niger: Malnutrition screenings in Filingue
Mothers — and often grandmothers caring for babies left orphaned — come to the nutritional screening center in Filingue, where Mercy Corps volunteers assess each child for malnourishment using arm measurements and a formula that takes into account age and weight.
Kenya: Life-changing latrines make women like Muriya safer
Muriya Mohamed and her four children — Bishara, Gabey, Nuh and Issak — proudly showed me the new latrine in their community.
Haiti: Cholera's ever-present threat
Haiti: Ensuring the water is clean
Mercy Corps is distributing vouchers for clean water, checking water quality and distributing soap in Port-au-Prince camps.
Haiti: 'Soccer for Life' kicks off on World AIDS Day
December 1st is World AIDS Day. This year, Mercy Corps and Partners In Health are joining forces in Haiti to launch Foutbol pou Lavi — Soccer for Life — a program designed to harness the power of soccer to stop the spread of HIV.
Ethiopia: A mother's appeal
We're outside the Mercy Corps office in Gashamo, Ethiopia – a bone-crunching nine hour drive from Jijiga, the regional capital. It's early in the morning, and the noisy generator is cranking out its last few minutes of power before we shut it down for the day.
Ethiopia: 'You gave my baby a second life'
When Istohil Sheik Ahmed Abdi brought her 9-month-old son Sahane to the Mercy Corps mobile clinic in her area, she hoped to learn why he was so weak. The baby cried constantly, was vomiting and refused to nurse. He had a high fever.

A serial graffiti vandal described as "a total loser" was spared prison Monday and instead placed on probation and ordered to spend 1,000 hours cleaning up his and others' graffiti.
Erie County Judge Sheila A. DiTullio said she could not understand what motivated 26-year-old Richard Whitefield, of Grand Island, to deface properties in Buffalo with his "bcuz" tag.
"You had the audacity to deface and paint and dirty up our city," DiTullio told him. "Now, you will clean up your mess and your graffiti under the watchful eye of city officials, the Probation Department and this court. I would guess, Mr. Whitefield, that cleaning up your mess will be a lot harder than creating it. It's a lot harder to take off paint than slap it on."
She also ordered Whitefield, a part-time warehouse employee for a paint store, to reimburse the city the $1,005 it spent cleaning up his graffiti, and she imposed almost as much in court fees and surcharges.
Community leaders who have tracked Whitefield's graffiti over the years have described him as one of the city's most active but least artistically talented vandals.
Whitefield pleaded guilty in February to two felony counts of third-degree criminal mischief and two misdemeanor counts of making graffiti. He admitted defacing a retaining wall near the Peace Bridge in September and a pedestrian bridge over the Scajaquada Expressway in October. Whitefield also initialed and dated the photographs of some 50 other properties that he acknowledged defacing.
After his plea, Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III called him a "total loser."
But defense lawyer Michael T. Dwan rejected that characterization.
"I have heard since the last time we were in court many people say Mr. Whitefield is a stupid guy, pathetic and all these words. The truth of the matter is he's a very smart kid, one of the smartest people I have ever represented," Dwan said. "And that's why this matter is so sad.
"In my opinion, he never intended to hurt anyone," Dwan said. "I don't even think he's capable of hurting anyone, judge. These were property crimes. In his mind, he did not understand there were victims here."
But Whitefield now understands how he harmed the community, Dwan said.
Whitefield's circumstances are not what makes this case so sad, Assistant District Attorney Patrick B. Shanahan replied in court.
"What's sad is we have hundreds of property owners who had their properties damaged and who will never get a cent from Mr. Whitefield," Shanahan said.
The prosecutor asked for a sentence that took into account graffiti that was far-reaching and pervasive.
At his plea hearing earlier this year, Whitefield said that his markings expressed "a rebellion" against authority.
At his sentencing Monday, Whitefield apologized but offered no insight into why he vandalized the properties.
"I would like to apologize to my family for what I put them through," he said. "I would like to apologize to anyone I hurt."
"The City of Buffalo is not your canvas," DiTullio told him. "This is vandalism and destruction of other people's property, period. There are real consequences that go along with that.
"You sneak around in the middle of the night and spray paint on structures like the Peace Bridge and a walkway silly words like 'bcuz.' I do not understand where you're coming from. I wish I did, because you grew up in a very loving family, with wonderful parents and a very nice home. It's hard to explain."
Buffalo residents expect their structures to be free from graffiti, the judge said.
"It's not much to ask," she said.

Item Description
At the heart of it all—even three ground-breaking decades after Capercaillie first performed as teenagers in their native Scottish Highlands; even as they continue the worldwide musical journey that's taken them from the Brazilian rainforest to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, not to mention into the UK pop charts—lies the ancient Gaelic culture that originally inspired them. At The Heart Of It All, the band's brand-new 30th anniversary album, revisits and reinvigorates songs sourced from the rich vein of centuries old Hebridean folk songs, enriched by compelling contemporary arrangements, together with an array of special guests representing the pinnacle of today's flourishing Scottish music scene.
Album guests include vocalists Julie Fowlis, Kathleen MacInnes, Darren MacLean, Sineag MacIntyre and Kris Drever (Lau). Also, Irish banjo legend Gerry O'Connor, uilleann piper Jarlath Henderson, fiddler Aidan O'Rourke (Lau), percussionist James Mackintosh and jazz saxophonist Tommy Smith.
"The most vibrant and exciting band in the field of Celtic music." —Billboard
"We'd never really done much in the way of collaboration on previous albums, but this time it seemed like a nice way to go. We didn't want Capercaillie's 30th anniversary being all about us and our record, but more about celebrating how Scottish and Gaelic music as a whole has expanded and progressed in that time with so many younger musicians coming through." —Donald Shaw, Capercaille

Music Major and Minor
Bachelor of Arts in Music
The Department of Music at Westminster College offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music as well as a Music minor. The major and minor both offer a choice of emphasis: academic or performance; each student must pick one or the other within the major or minor. The BA degree in Music is an excellent choice for talented students who plan to pursue graduate work in music, and for liberal arts students pursuing two majors in preparation for graduate school. It is also a degree that would qualify students for any number of music-related jobs following college. Among those musicians with sufficient talent and training for careers in performance, those with degrees in Music are unquestionably at an advantage over those without.
The Department of Music also offers opportunities for anyone on campus interested in music-making, regardless of their backgrounds or areas of study. School ensembles—open to capable and committed students and, in some cases, members of the community—include the Westminster Chorale, Westminster Chamber Singers, Westminster Chamber Orchestra, Westminster Jazz Ensemble, and Westminster Opera Studio. Private lessons and Liberal Education survey courses in music are also available to all students.
Music Major and Minor Class Requirements
An audition is required for status as a Music major or minor. Students must choose a major instrument and audition on that particular instrument (e.g. piano, voice, guitar, violin, etc.). Live auditions are held each year on specific dates as announced on the music department web page. Music major aspirants auditioning before the end of March, who are planning to enroll as freshmen the following fall semester, will automatically and simultaneously be considered for music scholarships. All remaining auditions will be held for major or minor status only. Due to strict course sequencing, students wishing to graduate with a Music major within a four-year course of study must begin their major fall semester of their freshman year. Students desiring a Music minor must audition before their sophomore year. Students with transfer credits need to complete a minimum of nine credits of music courses, including two semester of ensemble credit, at Westminster College in order to fulfill the requirements for a Music minor. A minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA in music courses must be maintained for the Music major or minor.
For more information, call the office of the Music Department Chair at 801.832.2435.

Cash and Credit RegistersElectronic Cash Registers and Point-of-Sale Terminals
Some of these devices simply combined a printing electronic calculator with a cash drawer. More elaborate registers not only tracked accumulated receipts, like a traditional cash register, but handled credit card transactions and allowed clerks to scan merchandise to read off prices. These, in turn, served as input for computer systems.
"Cash and Credit Registers - Electronic Cash Registers and Point-of-Sale Terminals" showing 1 items.
Check-A-Tron Electronic Cash Register
- Description
- This yellow-tinted electronic cash register sits atop an off-white cash drawer. It has black keyboard keys, a printer for receipts, and a red digital display. The key that opens the cash drawer is missing.
- A mark on the left front reads: CHECK-A-TRON. The machine has serial number 4500032. Stanley Hayman Business Machines stickers are on the front and the back.
- Check-A-Tron began selling an American-built electronic cash register in 1975. In 1977 it introduced the MICROS electronic cash register/point-of-sale terminal. The firm also distributed Sanyo cash registers made in Japan. According to a mark on this machine, it was assembled in the United States. By 1983 Check-A-Tron Corporation was out of the cash register business entirely.

Built in 2007, before many residents had curbside recycling, the Sisters Recycling Center was busy Monday morning.
"Oh, I probably drop things off here twice a week," said Kedith Wickware, who recently relocated to Oregon from California.
"Coming from San Jose, we had extensive recycling, so I would have been really disappointed if I had to go backwards," said Wickware.
Over the years, recycling in the Sisters area has increased, but with the economy in the dumps, funding for the depot has decreased.
"Just the transport alone, getting the material from Sisters to Bend is in the $30,000-a-year range," said Timm Schimke, director at Deschutes County Department of Solid Waste.
That's why there's been talk about closing the depot down, something City Councilor David Asson supports.
"We've got other priorities here in town. Where do you draw the line?" said Asson.
Asson's fellow city councilor, Wendy Holzman, told me over the phone Monday that she disagrees. If the recycling center was shut down, the other option for drop-off is more than seven miles from town. Wickware worries that would be too far for some.
"People aren't going to do that -- they're going to throw all their glass in the garbage and just continue to fill the landfills," said Wickware.
Unlike Bend, in Sisters, residents cannot get their glass picked up curbside. To keep the recycling center open, city officials and representatives from the county thought about raising rates.
"The proposal that was made was for 28 cents for billed account," said Asson.
Raising rates was a last resort, and for now, it's not in the county's plan. For up to five more years, the recycling center will stay open, with the county funding it, but that could change at any time.
Sisters Recycling Center will stay open
Built in 2007, before many residents had curbside recycling, the Sisters Recycling Center was busy Monday morning.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 includes a report designer functionality and a new set of ReportViewer controls that can be used to build and display reports within custom applications. Reports may contain
tabular, aggregated, and even multidimensional data. The ReportViewer controls are used to process and display these reports within applications. There are two versions of the controls. The ReportViewer Web server control is used to host reports in ASP.NET
projects. The ReportViewer Windows Forms control is used to host reports in Windows application processing.
Both controls can be configured to run in either local or remote processing mode. How you configure the processing mode effects everything about the reports from design to deployment.
In this Screencast Thom takes a look at how this control can be used to host both server reports and local reports

DataSet1_Bills is what is listed in the Report Data Source window as discussed above. MyBills is the DataSet I created in code and I just reference the Bills table.
Hope this helps someone else out.
can we have a complete video here?
or is this the complete one.
Thanks for wonderful post. It helps me for creating rdlc report.
Now i need another help.
I need to add two tables/procedures in my report.
My report have two section. One is Header and another is details.
I sgall use companyInfo table for header and use TransactionInfo for detail section.
But i am unable to add two table of data Programmatically.
The report talke only one table with specific datasource name.
How i can load twho table at a time.
consider following code which i have used for retriveing single data table.
string sqlQ = "Select * from CompanyInfo";
string sqlQ1= @"Select * from command_1 where operationType = 2";
DataSet ds = new DataSet() ;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ITSOFT206; initial catalog=rbrl;user id = sa;password=start777");
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlQ , con);
SqlDataAdapter da1 = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlQ1, con);
dt.TableName = "CompanyInfo";
dt1.TableName = "command_1";
ds.Tables.Add(dt.Copy ());
ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;
LocalReport lc = ReportViewer1.LocalReport;
lc.ReportPath = "Report1.rdlc";
ReportDataSource rds = new ReportDataSource();
rds.Name = "rptSource_command_1";
rds.Value = ds.Tables["command_1"];
lc.DataSources.Add (rds);
hope i will get solution.
unable to add a new dataset in reportviewer visual studio 2010.

So, you guys want a team of grinders? Why not join fans of Boston or Nashville then - I personally enjoy watching pretty goals scored once in a while and SKILL has been the signature of the Wings since early 90s. BTW that weakling Semin scored NICE winner today, and when great tough Abdelcader scored last time? If we get Semin, at least Datsyuk won't be bored dead playing with you know whom (Parize does sound better choice to me then Semin, but a lot of teams want him). Finally, Bert, Mule, and Holmstrom can all be considered grinders - unite them in a Red Bombers line and give the assignement to hit rather then score.
I pretty much agree. Like how at the deadline Gillis traded away Vancouver's 3rd line scoring potential for grinders and the team has been misfiring ever since.
It's always been a league of copy cats. WHen Detroit wins the Cup, all of the sudden everyone wants a puck moving Dman and skilled players. Then Boston rag dolls Vancouver on the way to winning the Cup and everyone wants hard hitting hockey players.
Seriously, we are only a few bad bounces away from being up 3-1 instead of down 3-1, but unfortunately, that's hockey.
We all know that if this team goes balls out for 60 minutes, they can beat anybody in the NHL. That's what's bumbed me out.

JAVA – A Chaffee man faces driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene and other traffic charges following an incident late Thursday on Chaffee Road in the town of Java, according to Wyoming County sheriff's officials.
David W. Macomber, 33, of Gasner Road, was traveling southwest in a Chevy Silverado at about 11:45 p.m. when he drove across the center line of the roadway at Nichols Road and into a field, police said. Authorities said Macomber drove over a speed limit sign, damaging it and his vehicle before fleeing the scene.
Erie County sheriff's deputies located Macomber at his home a short time later and returned him to the scene of the crash.
Macomber was released to a family member pending a Feb. 6 appearance in Java Town Court.

Boyang JIN wins with an invalid element: he had two 3-jump combination
Seems Michael is still injured but still went on to skate. Too bad about the chance but he did his best during the circumstances. Lucky he didn't end up like the other one who withdrew. This was his FB post a while ago:
I almost withdrew in the Freeskate this afternoon. It was a real struggle to land my jumps & skate. My ankle was swollen again after 2 days additional practices.
Thanks to the medical staff of the Latvian Federation for fixing my ankle just before my event. Although was still painful, but they helped me get through w/ my program...
Jin grew and improved his components a lot since last season. Also I assumed the 2s at the beginning is meant to be a 4s? Amazing that at just 15 he can already do 3a, 4t, and 4s! Not to mention the 3a and 4t are already pretty consistent and of excellent quality!
Is Shoma Uno going to continue to grow much or is he just very, very small? I feel like his technical content and low jumps will always hold him back, but I feel like it will be hard for him to get the big elements if he stays so tiny. His skating and presentation are so wonderful, so I really want him to succeed, but 150 cm at age 15 almost 16? That is a bit concerning. By that age, most boys have started to shoot up
Michael Martinez almost withdrew because of an ankle injury, worse news is that he said a Mexican ( he probably meant Brazilian) fractured his foot and was sent to the hospital, I'm assuming its Manella. Feel so sad for him
anyone know Adian's FS music ?
I think Yagudin has used it or was that from Peter Pan ?

Hey everyone, a metaphoric approach to the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow." At last, our washing machine is running again. It now agitates, washes, spins and gets the dirt out. The motor was replaced recently. We are free to stay in our apartment and wash clothes as needed. Thank you Lord.
Jesus will wash our souls clean and bright if we repent, and confess our sins. We need to let Christ touch our eternal "motor" and allow him once again to wash us with his blood and "spin" out all the dirt. If we are soon "agitated" by the affairs of this life, the Lord can create within us a right spirit, and a pure "wash cycle." The world "spins" while he sits on the "circle of the earth." (Isaiah)
Even if our temporal human washing machine (earthly body) was manufactured by him in China, Mexico, the USA or elsewhere, we can operate a "full load" with less "agitation," not "spinning" around and constantly being hot and cold. Our cycles of life, can remain programmed by the software of his Holy Spirit.
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ shed his precious blood on Mount Calvary more than 2,000 years ago, that we might have eternal life. He didn't stay in the grave. He remained only for three days and nights and rose again. He lives forevermore to be our High Priest, Our Savior and Lord, our Redeemer, our Messiah, our soon coming bridegroom and king.
Christ is the supreme washing machine and "X-tra" cleansing laundry detergent. Jesus can brighten our eternal clothes with His mighty "Arm and Hammer." His "Oxodol" is whiter than a fuller's soap (Malachi).
Our sinful "Ivory" nature can be sanctified, become 100 percent pure and whiter than "snow."
Our outer garments can be cleansed and softened from "All" spots or wrinkles with his eternal "Final Touch."
Jesus is the true "Mr. Clean" and even if we're feeling somewhat "Downy," he can lift us up and restore our "Bold" faith in him.
Once his precious blood makes us "Spic and Span," God's grace will be "Fab" as he makes us "Purex" gold.
When He returns quicker than a "Dash" for his glorious church or should we leave before, He'll row us over Jordan's "Tide" without "spot or wrinkle" (Ephesians).
Jesus will "Wisk" us into His eternal and glorious "Era." We'll "Snuggle" softly next to Him forever.
We have too much to "Gain" to lose. Be of good "Cheer," he has overcome the world.
So when the washing cycles of this life become agitated, please remember, as this world malfunctions with a broken motor, Christ will help us to stop spinning out of control, will fix our broken washers, rinse the dirty water, and dry our tears. We'll rest eternally, with "Les-toil" forever. Do you get my "Dreft?"

Elevated levels of certain cancers and birth defects were found among people who live in or near the Town of Tonawanda's industrial corridor, according to a state Health Department review released Tuesday.
But the report also stressed that the rates did not show a cause-and-effect relationship between the factories and the illnesses.
A public meeting on the Health Department's review is scheduled for 7 p.m. Feb. 26, in the Sheridan Parkside Community Center, 169 Sheridan Parkside Drive, in the town.
The review compared the levels of adverse birth outcomes and cancer cases for people in a Tonawanda study area – the industrial corridor and parts of the City and Town of Tonawanda, Town of Grand Island and City of Buffalo – to residents of Erie and Niagara counties, and elsewhere in the state, excluding New York City. It covered health outcomes diagnosed between 1990 and 2009.
Lung, bladder and total cancers were elevated among males and females, the review found, while esophageal cancer was elevated among males and uterine cancer among females. Two other types of cancer were elevated: oral cavity/pharynx cancer among males in the industrial corridor and leukemia among females in the Sheridan Parkside area.
Analyses of birth outcomes in the study area showed preterm births and total heart defects were elevated.
The findings prompted calls for action Tuesday by a local environmental group.
"Unfortunately, this study shows what we knew all along: Our community is suffering," said Erin Heaney, executive director of the Clean Air Coalition of Western New York. "We need strong political leadership at all levels of government."
Tonawanda Town Supervisor Anthony F. Caruana could not be reached to comment Tuesday.
The review was conducted in response to community concerns about potential health effects from exposure to industrial emissions and motor vehicle traffic. Results of an air quality study by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, released in 2009, showed that concentrations of benzene and formaldehyde were much higher in the Tonawanda area than in other areas with industrial and urban monitoring data in the state, excluding New York City.
While the review compared a particular group of people as a whole to a group not living in the area of concern, "it cannot prove that a specific environmental exposure caused a specific health effect, and it cannot tell us anything about individual health problems," the department's summary states.
Although the kinds of chemical compounds detected in the air in the Tonawanda exposure area have been associated with some of these types of cancer – leukemia and pharynx – in other studies, other factors contribute to their development, according to the department.
"In the general population, smoking is the most important risk factor for both lung and bladder cancer. We do not know the individual medical and exposure histories for the people included in this study," the department stated.
The report is available at www.health.ny.gov/environmental/investigations/tonawanda/. A public comment period runs through March 31.

The 5 Most Common Errors of First Time Job Applicants
I've seen everything on an application from footprints to blood. Now to be fair, I can see some of this happening, because accidents will happen, things will be spilled, and so on ... so the point gets a bit of forgiveness. But that forgiveness only goes so far when someone returns one wrinkled to hell and with dirt ground into it from top to bottom. It's obvious that it's just been lying on the floorboard of their car for a week, and they couldn't be bothered to fill out a new one.
I'm also perfectly aware that this may have been one of our personal pet peeves, but the one that really used to piss us off in the office was pig shit. No, seriously, pig shit. As in the actual animal eating food, then digesting that food, then expelling the unused nutrients from its asshole, which then ends up smeared across an application for employment.
Sometimes, they'd turn one in with a whole pig attached to it.
See, we live in a farming area, and many of our potential hires were the teenage sons of those farmers, looking for something to replace their current chores of shoveling animal poop. The problem is that many of them wouldn't change clothes before making the trip to town. And even though they were wearing knee-high rubber boots to keep the shit off of their pants, the shit was still on their boots, dried up chunks falling off onto our just-mopped floors. Then when they got the application, they'd toss it in the back seat and forget about it for a few days. Eventually, those boots would make it back there, too, and boom: shit-stamp.
Look, I'm not suggesting that you treat a job application like the fucking Dead Sea Scrolls, but holy shit, you're turning that thing in with the hope of getting a job. The condition of that piece of paper is a pretty good indication of how seriously you're taking it. Even if it's not on the extreme level of pig shit, simply leaving a pop can ring and Cheetos fingerprints all over it is enough to show them that you just plain don't give a fuck. Or at the very least, that you're an incredible slob who will treat the premises with the same "Fuck it, my mom will clean it up" attitude.
"Why does your application smell like pizza and balls?"
#1. They Misspell Virtually Everything
My favorite application of all time came from a 25-year-old dishwasher who had just lost his job at Cracker Barrel, a family restaurant that you can find every hundred feet in the Midwest. We knew it was going to be a good one when in his work history, he referred to the business as "Cracko Barrow." This was made even worse when we realized that he could clearly see the restaurant's sign from where he was sitting. But it gets so much worse, you're going to swear I'm making this next part up. I sadly assure you that I am not.
On the "How will you get to work?" question, he wanted to write the word "bicycle," but didn't know how to spell it. He made three attempts before giving up and drawing a stick bicycle, complete with a stick man riding it, and an arrow pointing to the bike itself. Obviously, I don't have the application, but this is my best, unexaggerated re-creation of what we saw on that page:
At first, we felt kind of bad for laughing at it, because what if he had some severe learning disability ... but aside from those two things, the rest of that application was perfectly fine. What wasn't fine was when we saw a steadily growing pattern of teenagers' applications being turned in written partially in text speak. For instance, in response to the question "How far from the business do you live?" we'd get answers like "not 2 far frm u mybe 3 mls."
And from an employer's perspective, it's extremely hard to not immediately think, "Man, this person is a complete fucking idiot. Put it in the folder marked 'Only if we legally have to.'" I've seen people misspell their own fucking name who didn't get ridiculed as much as a person who fills out an application in text style. It just sends such a clear message, intentional or not, that says, "I don't have time to fill this shit out. And I most definitely don't have time to learn how to write in my own language. Let's just whip through this shit and move on."
"I've got some goddamn back flips to do, baby!"
But, hey, if all else fails, just draw a stick figure of what you mean. At the very least, you'll become a legend at the job you were never hired at. Or if you set the bar really high, you could end up being made fun of in a Cracked article.
You can find John on Twitter, and if you have a few spare seconds, give him a thumbs up on his Facebook fan page.

The big party is November 13th at Skydive Chicago. Check out skydivechicago.com for directions.
The clone class ran the first race on the full pro track last week. There was talk that clones would like to run the classic track, or a combination of the two tracks at times. I asked clone racers to email me with their preferred track and preferred weight for the class.
In the past week, I've heard from just two.
Kris built a Facebook page, and we'd dig it if you'd check it out. Click the link, or search on Facebook for JET Karting.
[update] Just found out how to change the url for the page to www.facebook.com/jetkarting
Go to www.facebook.com/usernames to do this for your account.
At the end of last season, looking through attendance records as well as comments from racers, we saw 'early morning practice' loosing popularity. This season will have an increased Group Practice time, with a slightly earlier start time.
I have heard interest through the winter in the Sr. Supercan class. I'd love to have it strong here again. If you are interested in running it this summer, I'll make you a really good deal on a season pass. Email me, and we'll work it out. We need to have at least 3 karts for a class, but would like to have many more.
Don't wait. Now is the time to help me organize this class for 2010!
We had our schedule posted, but our first race conflicted with the Route 66 first race. Since we would like to schedule around the Route 66 Series, we have moved opening race to the 10th of April.
Our annual Halloween Gran Prix is on Oct 31 this year. With the full compliment of 30 lap mains and 100 lap races, everyone should be able to finish the season with some fun. Remember that the grid is set by order of signup.
This weekend was a fast one, as we had two drivers set a track records. Congratulations to Thayne Chapin for setting a new Rookie record, and Christian Vega for setting a new record in Spec racer.
We would also like to congratulate Rick Apichairuk for setting a TAG Masters track record at 61 Kartway during the Route 66 race there. Rick has been contracting tuning services with us here at JET Karting for the Route 66 series, and we are proud to be a part of his success.

Vasco da Gama are on the verge of progression to the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil after a comfortable 2-0 win over Nacional AM.
Dorival Junior's Vasco da Gama did not have it all their own way in their Round of 16 clash against the Serie D club, with only late goals in each half ensuring victory at the Estadio Roberto Simonsen.
Defender Cris got the opener for Vasco a minute before the break to send the visitors to the rooms in front, after wonderful lead-up play by Carlos Tenorio.
The Ecuadorian striker then completed the scoring when he added a penalty in second half stoppage to confirm the result.
The two sides meet again in nine days time in Rio de Janiero for a spot in the last eight.

Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Sarah Hanson is hard at work in her office going through a two-page checklist on a recent afternoon.
Ryland Homes has submitted a subdivision plan for their next phase. Hanson is reviewing the plan to make sure the lots are the size they're supposed to be and the open space, buffers, required setbacks and minimum street lengths so fire trucks can turn around match up.
The city's new planning director also checks on area wetlands, which are protected and restricted. Hanson calls the wetlands a great natural resource that gives the Lowcountry personality and character.
The section of property she's reviewing will go toward the Brick Hope, Liberty Hall Plantation and Brick Hope Greens subdivisions on Adler Drive, Montague Plantation Road and Henry Brown Boulevard.
Hanson started working with the city of Goose Creek in 2008 as a planning technician and last year moved into the new position of zoning specialist. She became the acting planning director late last year after the position became open and earlier in February she was named full time planning director.
"They asked me if I wanted this position," Hanson said. "Who would say no?"
Hanson grew up in North Carolina, went to Appalachian State University and worked for a real estate development company focusing on residential property, hotels and malls throughout the southeast.
Her husband and two children – who grew up in Goose Creek – moved to the area in 2002, when Hanson sold real estate in Goose Creek and joined the city's Architectural Review Board.
"It's a great place for a family," she said. "We want to keep it that way . . . a small, family town. All of that laid the groundwork for being able to do this and have a vision for what to do from here on out."
She worked closely with immediate past planning director Daniel Ben-Yisrael, whom she said started his own real estate consulting and planning business in the private sector.
"We are looking for someone to come in as a planning and zoning specialist to review all building permits and design, review and approve all of our residential communities," Hanson said. "The most delicate thing I do is working as a zoning administrator, working with businesses and residents to help them adhere to our zoning ordinances.
"I serve as the staff member that facilitates our Planning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals and the Architectural Review Board. I work closely with engineers, architects and builders. I'm the contact when people have questions on permits."
People often ask Hanson questions that involve trees – and when it's permissible to take one down – or other zoning inquiries.
"We get a ton of phone calls from our businesses and residents," she said. "I work with our boards to tweak zoning ordinances."
Hanson researches other municipalities and finds out what works for Goose Creek.
"The thing I'm most excited about is the start of Carnes Crossroads," she said. "It's been on hold a few years because of the real estate dip."
Carnes Crossroads has been permitted and approved, she said. There are three model homes from three builders on the property by the intersection of U.S.-176 and U.S.-17A.
"They're plotting the next section in full force," she said. "The whole concept of Carnes Crossroads is a mixed-use, thoughtfully-conceived community. We've been waiting for several years and it's happening now. It's springing to life.
Hanson is also happy with the recent improvements to the downtown business section.
"I'm excited to be part of such a good team here shaping what Goose Creek is going to be for the next 10 years or so," she said. "Having been here for so long, that's exciting to me. This is fun for me.
"So much of what we do is to walk people through the processes involved in certain things and make it easy on them. That's part of our customer service."

This is really embarrassing, knew it would happen. The real joke is thinking all those years near the deadline Holland may make a move...youth movement blah, blah, blah. Holland
hid behind protecting the young guys and the prospects as his out for never pulling the trigger and now that its their time we pass on Bruner, give Sammy a NTC and sign guys who
need to be replaced putting the kids we need on the roster in jeopardy. Whatever Holland your spring golf league can start early again. Idiot...I'm done wondering what Kenny will do screw him.

Though various national cancer organizations provide assistance to patients and aid for research on a national level, local chapters also do what they can to make a specific impact in our area.
The scope of community members
affected by blood cancers will be visible on Oct. 6, when the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Western PA?and West Virginia chapter hosts its annual Greater Alleghenies Light the Night Walk at 5 p.m. at the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown.

Sue Dodson of Altoona, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2011, has been raising money for the Leukemia &?Lymphoma Society and will take part in the Light the Night Walk on Oct. 6 on the Univerisity of Pittsburgh at Johnstown campus.
The walk is characterized by the nearly 1,000 people who carry lighted balloons on the non-competitive walk. Patients and survivors carry white balloons, supporters carry red balloons and walkers commemorating the life of a loved one carry gold balloons.
"There are a lot more red balloons than white balloons, which is a good thing," said Angelina Shilcosky, the campaign coordinator and a team captain for the walk. "It's really cool to see those lighted balloons going through the campus of Pitt-Johnstown."
The money raised by the Light the Night Walk benefits blood cancer patients in Blair, Cambria, Indiana, Somerset and Bedford counties, Shilcosky said. It goes toward financial assitance for medicine and co-pays, as well as toward research. Shilcosky is a leukemia survivor who has to take a chemotherapy pill daily. She said it would cost her $5,300 a month without assistance from insurance and the society.

"If I didn't have that help, that's over $60,000 a year," she said. "And I'm on it the rest of my life."
Shilcosky said the society's patient need has gone up 30 percent in the past two years. One local benefactor of their assistance is Sue Dodson of Altoona, who was diagnosed last year with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She said knew she wanted to get more involved with the Light the Night Walk after attending the event last year soon after she received her diagnosis.
"You don't realize how many people have blood cancers," Dodson said, adding that there was even a 2-year-old girl there whose parents spoke about their daughter's fight with cancer. "There wasn't a dry eye around after they told her story."
This year, Dodson is hoping to raise a total of $1,000, and has done various fundraisers at Penn State Altoona where she is employed as an administrative assistant.
"I like the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society because the money raised stays within [surrounding] counties," Dodson said. "Whatever is raised stays local."
Benefitting the local community is also a characteristic of The American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. The 13th annual noncompetitive walk will take place at 9 a.m. Oct. 13 and for the first time will be held at Peoples Natural Gas Field in Altoona.
Lisa Koncz, an income development representative for the American Cancer Society, said the goal for this year is to attract 1,000 walkers from the community and raise a total of $138,500.
"A lot of folks have been touched by breast cancer, as well as their families," Koncz said. "This is a great way to support them and the community at large that is in need of our services."
Unfortunately, cancer and illness were a family affair for Terri Robbins of Hollidaysburg, who will be the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 2012 honorary survivor.
Just a few months after her daughter, Sarah, was treated for a rare mass found on her cervix, Robbins was diagnosed with breast cancer. But fundraising for the walk really helped the mother-daughter team through a tough time.
"As soon as I started to focus on how to raise money and help other people, I got better myself," Robbins said.
Robbins' teams have raised more than $5,000 the past two years. She said that fundraising has become like a business, as she and her teammates have been selling bracelets and lanyards, making scarves and donating sponsored baskets filled with items for patients going through chemotherapy to Altoona Hospital.
To Robbins, whose daughter has a clean bill of health - she herself is in her third year of remission - it is worth the effort.
"They need all the support they can get," she said of patients and the society.
Koncz agreed that the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk can become a very positive response to an incredibly frightening diagnosis.
"That's the great thing about this walk," she said. "All of these women can come together to share their stories, share their heartaches and share their triumphs."

A few weeks ago I came to the conclusion that my house needed a new paint job, and the timing couldn't have been worse as the Super Bowl was coming up. In desperation I turned to Greater Toronto Painters, and while I was prepared to watch paint dry instead of the Patriots and Seahawks, the guys at GTA surprised me with their excellence at interior painting compared to the other Toronto companies.
When I noticed the paint peeling I called GTA and told them what the problem was. The guy on the other end was very courteous and listened to me and asked some questions. He also gave me a price quote and I was surprised at how affordable it was.
The Paint Job
The company sent a painter over quickly, and I was impressed to say the least. The man was obviously a professional, well dressed, pleasant and spoke clearly. After the introductions, he showed me his referrals and credentials, which was really nice. He then took a look at the areas of the house I wanted painted over, and he studied them intently, asking questions every now and then.
Judging from his equipment and the stuff he asked, it was clear the guy knew what he was talking about. And when it came to the paint job, he worked fast and clean. To be honest I had him cover a lot of ground and I expected to pay a hefty price and suffer a long wait. But he finished up quickly and the price was just great, a real bargain. Now I know who to call next time I need a service!

South African Olympian Denies Murder
PRETORIA, South Africa— Oscar Pistorius on Friday stood before a judge and sobbed as the prosecutor read out the charge of murder leveled against the double-amputee Olympic runner.
State prosecutor Gerrie Nel said he was charging Mr. Pistorius over the killing of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, a 29-year old model and aspiring actress. Mr. Nel said he would argue that Mr. Pistorius committed premeditated murder.
After the charge was announced, Mr. Pistorius offered his first public defense since police began their investigation into the death of his girlfriend the day before. "The alleged murder is disputed in the strongest terms," a statement issued on behalf of Mr. Pistorius and his family said.
The terse statement didn't elaborate, other than to say, "these are now live and active legal proceedings which must be allowed to take their course through the process of proper investigation by the police, evidence-gathering and through the local South African judicial system."
More Pistorius Coverage
The statement added that Mr. Pistorius "would like to send his deepest sympathies to the family of Reeva" and described the circumstance of her death as a "terrible, terrible tragedy."
The state prosecutor, Mr. Nel, said the 26-year old athlete hasn't yet been asked to plead, and a judge postponed the bail hearing. Mr. Pistorius will remain in a Pretoria police station holding cell until a new bail hearing Feb. 19. If he is found guilty of murder, he faces a minimum 20 years in jail and up to a life sentence, according to an official at the court.
The judge also ruled the hearing wouldn't be recorded for broadcasting, after Mr. Pistorius' lawyer, Barry Roux, argued his client was in an "extreme traumatized state of mind." Mr. Pistorius spent much of the hearing with his head in his hands, crying.
Police spokeswoman Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale said an investigation was continuing at Mr. Pistorius' house, but declined to comment further. Police on Thursday said they arrived at Mr. Pistorius's Pretoria home in the early morning to find Ms. Steenkamp fatally shot. They found a 9mm pistol at the scene and are carrying out ballistic tests on the weapon. Police were responding to an emergency call from a neighbor who heard shouting at the home, Ms. Mogale said. The police have said domestic-related complaints would be part of their investigation.
"We do have a case, but it will all depend on further investigation," said Medupe Simasiku, a spokesman for the state prosecutor.
Family and friends of Mr. Pistorius packed the small courtroom. His father, Henke Pistorius, was in the front row in a white button-down shirt and a straw hat by his side. His other son was dressed in a black suit. They declined to speak to reporters.
No representatives of Ms. Steenkamp's family were at the court appearance of Mr. Pistorius, and a comment would be issued at a later stage, a publicist for Ms. Steenkamp said.
Mr. Pistorius's alleged connection to the shooting has drawn international attention, coming months after his historic appearance at the London Olympic Games, where he carried the flag for South Africa.
Known as "Blade Runner" for his carbon-fiber prostheses, Mr. Pistorius's story of athletic accomplishment after adversity achieved almost folklore status in his native South Africa. Reactions to his alleged role in the death of Ms. Steenkamp ranged from outrage to deep disappointment.
"We won't know whether he is guilty or innocent for some months yet," said local political commentator Justice Malala in an online column for local newspaper Mail & Guardian. "What we do know is that a hero is fallen, and on Thursday you could see the effect of that on South Africa."
Mr. Pistorius was born in Johannesburg in 1986 without fibulas in both legs. 11 months later, his parents decided to follow medical advice and have his legs amputated below the knee. When he was 15, his mother died after an allergic reaction to antibiotics.
Mr. Pistorius went on to become one of the fastest runners in the world for the 400 meters distance. He was the first double-amputee runner to compete against able-bodied athletes at the Olympics.

A stolen vehicle was found partially-submerged in a Sanford lake early Wednesday.
The car, which authorities confirmed was stolen, was found in Lake Monroe near Mellonville Avenue and East First Street.
Firefighters at the scene said the vehicle was not occupied. A concrete block was found on top of the gas pedal.
The vehicle's front-end was submerged, but its rear was hanging off of a wall at the edge of the lake.
Few details were immediately available. Anyone with information about the car should contact authorities.

A Charlotte architect with a love of Charleston decided to enter the Cooper River Bridge Run T-shirt design contest in 2010 but kept putting off the finishing touches on his work until this year.
And when 37-year-old Marcus Terry finally completed it, he wasn't sure if it would be a winner. "When you've stared at something for three years, you just don't know if it's good or not," said Terry, even though friends and family assured him it would win.
They were right.
For the honor, Terry received $1,000 and the recognition of having his design grace more than 40,000 T-shirts and other promotional materials for the 37th annual event.
Terry's design, selected from 73 entries a month ago, featured the bottom of a running shoe with a tread composed of one of the bridge's "diamond" towers and the name of the race. Bridge cable emanates from the shoe.
Terry, who has participated in several Bridge Runs and enjoys renting a bike and tooling around downtown, wanted the design to make a statement about the run using a bridge usually dominated by car traffic.
While it's rare for a Bridge Run design not to show the bridge in an obvious, prominent way, using a shoe as the centerpiece isn't unprecedented. The designs in 1999 and 1991 featured shoes, too.
Terry was thrilled to hear the news, particularly after seeing all the other designs displayed online for first-ever public voting for the contest. He noted that he thought a half-dozen were "really solid entries."
"This is a huge deal for me. I've won some other, smaller design contests, but this is the biggest," said Terry, who attended Wednesday's unveiling ceremony at Alhambra Hall in Mount Pleasant.
The celebration will continue on Bridge Run weekend when he and a dozen family members, including some from Delaware and Washington, D.C., plan to come down for the event, set for April 5, 2014.
For the Kids Run & Wonderfest, the Bridge Run design selection team chose a design created by the late Peyton Moore, a 9-year-old who died on June 4 shortly after suffering a likely seizure in his sleep. Moore was an athletic, creative child who inspired his parents, Jennifer and Noah Moore, and many others to lead healthier lives.
Peyton was a regular participant in both Bridge Run events and the Charleston Marathon's kids marathon, which includes a 25-mile cumulative run capped off by a 1.2-mile run the day before the regular marathon. The marathon also is using a design, a different one, created by Peyton for its kids run this year.
Noah Moore said he and Jennifer are honored by the Bridge Run's tribute to their son.
"Neither one of us had any idea that Peyton would inspire us to make so many changes in our lives, nor did we ever imagine that he would inspire so many others to do the same. Having the running community embrace our little boy is a gift for which we are very grateful," Moore said.
"Peyton drew the things that he loved, and he loved that bridge and he loved Charleston. Although it does not dull our pain or fill us with the happiness of his infectious smile, having both of these major races include our son's artwork is something we will cherish."
