The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
1966 'Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo' Directed by Sergio Leone
For three men the Civil War wasn't hell. It was practice.
While the Civil War rages between the Union and the Confederacy, three men -- a quiet loner, a ruthless hit man and a Mexican bandit -- comb the American Southwest in search of a strongbox containing $200,000 in stolen gold.
Popular reviews
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is easily the best western I've seen so far. I must say I haven't explored many films from this genre, but I had the opportunity to watch a few classics such as Unforgiven and Once Upon A Time in the West in theaters a year ago. There is so much to like here I don't even know where to begin. We have plenty of humorous moments that work remarkably well thanks to a great comedic timing by the actors and how they provide their lines just effortlessly. The shootout scenes are always thrilling and very stylish to see, making the journey thoroughly entertaining. The iconic score by Ennio Morricone is simply amazing and…
You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.
-BlondieThere's two kinds of people, those who think John Wayne was the greatest Western movie actor, and those who think it was Clint Eastwood. I'm with Eastwood, the rest of you are just wrong. Here he plays "the man with no name" for the third and last time in the so-called Dollars Trilogy. He is the personification of everything that makes a gunslinger cool.
I called it a "so-called" trilogy because Sergio Leone claims it wasn't his intention that they be sequels to each other, even though Eastwood is dressed the same way, acts the same way…
Film #3 in the Anti-Procrastination August Challenge
Ranked 5th on Movie Maestro's All-Time Favorites"The way I figure, there's really not too much future with a sawed-off runt like you." - Blondie
Wow, wow, wow, wow, and WOW! Why did I wait so long to watch this movie, WHY???!!!??
Again, I am embarrassed with myself, and yet I am also very happy and lucky that I got to watch a gem like this for the first time. I realize now that I need to stop being so stubborn and resistant to watching movies from certain genres and time periods.
There are some Westerns and classics that I have enjoyed in the past, but in particular, classic westerns have been something…
Dirty Harry stars in Sergio Leone's meaty spaghetti western. A badass with Angel eyes. An ugly-ass bandit with a long name. Doing the job you were paid to do. Playing a game of shoot Tuco's noose. Enjoying a smoke. Punching a priest. Taking a piss off a train. A long walk in the desert. A one-eyed solider with an important name. A mini Johnny Reb. Andersonville's cousin. You don't fuck with a man while he is taking a bubble bath. Hijacking a stretcher to blow up a bridge. Showdown in the big-ass cemetery. The ultimate 3-way duel. Blondie has a name and he sure as fuck can shoot.
Number 25 on PinHeadLarry's Top 50 Films Of All Time List!
I want to start off by saying two things…
One: I want Clint Eastwood's cigar collection from this movie. He must have about 20,000 just in his pockets. He's always smoking one, and he always has more. He even had enough to leave a trail for someone in the film. Geez.
Two: A good part of recognizing your favorite films is being able to look objectively at every aspect of the film, good or bad to see how they work in conjunction with each other to craft the unique experience you love. This is why I will look at the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the Good,…
I make-a tha movie! I use-a the close, medium, far trick, yes? You watch-a, you love. I hate-a the women! You-a too? Bella, bella.

Obra maestra absoluta. Pocas veces el cine llegará más lejos.
Poster Change Time!
Seriously, Letterboxd. The other poster was better.
No, but seriously. The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly is undoubtedly my favorite western. Ever. The direction, the characters, the camerawork, the cinematography, it's all truly astounding. It's nearly 3 hours, and it feels like half that length.
I find this movie almost impossible to dislike. There are so many great things about it. Perfect A+
An old classic that I never saw before for some reason.
"When you have to shoot,shoot.Don't talk."
Bravo,Bravo,From Performance to Direction to Bullets,everything is well-executed and patiently constructed.You won't realize you have been through nearly three hours with it.A Western's Myth.
Well, its great. But you already know that. Everyone knows that. Classic movies are hyped to hell and beyond, and few can live up to their reputation. But TGTBaTU does it. Fantastically. It's not your typical western film. Its a fantastic adventure between two "friends" and the ridiculousness they encounter on their way to 200,000 dollars worth of gold.
The characters are fantastic. Clint Eastwood easily lives up to his reputation as a witty, squinting badass, who's surprisingly accurate with a rifle and a cannon. Puco is a hilarious and fitting "sidekick" of sorts to go alongside him, and all of the characters they met along the way really help to flesh out the movie. The Union war general, who…
Una de mis películas preferidas.
¡¡¡Hijo de mil padres!!!
Great western
Thrilling, intelligent, and beautifully paced. This is a movie that takes you on a journey into another world, and immediately makes you feel like you've lived there your whole life.
Sergio Leone is one of the greatest directors to ever have lived, and this film is evidence of why. There are few others who can so deftly paint a multi-faceted portrait of a fascinating character, while keeping the audience at arms-length. We empathise with Blondie, but he remains a mystery to us.
The acting is solid and the cinematography is stunning. Despite the 3 hour runtime, the narrative never feels slow or drawn out. It's pacing is perhaps better than any other film I have seen.
Every scene is worth…

I will be spending a week or two in Maui in July - would love activity and mid-price hotel info - never been to Hawaii - should I go to another island, also?
Hawaii, Maui

Why is this tagged Georgia?
You will need to be more specific about what activities you like and what you can afford in USDs (not descriptions such as "mid-price) for the hotel. Exact dates might be helpful, number of people also. I would assume 1 since you use I but a lot of people say I I I when it's we we we. -
Report Abuse
If it's one week I'd just stay on Maui. If you have two weeks then you can add a second island if you want to.
I stayed in Lahaina, because I like having a town to walk around in and Lahaina's a lot of fun. We stayed at Lahaina Shores a condo hotel (but it's not a resort and doesn't have much of a beach so may or may not be anything you're interested in).
The highlights for me were Haleakala (the volcanic crater, it's amazing), the Old Lahaina Luau, walking around Lahaina (there's a self guided walking tour you can do there), a show called U'lalena at Myth & Magic Theater.
Hawaii is trickier to plan than some vacation destinations, I think, because of the different islands. If you haven't yet, do get a couple guidebooks from the library so you can read & see photos about all that is possible there. -
Report Abuse
If you have two weeks I'd do one in Maui then the other in Oahu.
Big Island, Maui are fairly similar. I'd either visit Oahu or Kauai for a second island. -
Report Abuse
First, you should re-tag your thread "Hawaii".
If you have 2 weeks, you should definitely go to another island. If you peruse other threads on Hawaii, you will find that there are enthusiasts for each of the 4 major islands. Although I have spent most of my visits on Maui (relatives lived there), I recommend Oahu for your second island. It really is "Hawaii Central". I've only been there once, but looking back on it, I'm so glad that I visited there, particularly since I will probably never get back to the islands. -
Report Abuse
Another activity to add for Maui is Warren & Annabelle's Magic show. It is a pile of laughs and some really great magic. Try to go when Warren is the magician.
We also enjoy snorkeling and just driving around. What can be better than getting a take-out lunch and sitting by the ocean watching people and whales?
A day trip to the upcountry is worth it. We've been up to Haleakala a few times (twice at night and once during the day). It's a toss up for the sunrise because of fog, but the daytime trip is interesting.
Just remember to have a great time and take time to relax. It's all about Maui. -

<<<A day trip to the upcountry is worth it. We've been up to Haleakala a few times (twice at night and once during the day).>>>
We hiked into the crater in September, during the day (we'd been years ago for sunrise). We did 5 miles or so round-trip. It's a good hike, although the return is pretty much a slog (what goes down must come up??). On the way back, we drove through upcountry Maui, stopped in Makawao, and ended up in Paia for an early dinner. Great day.

Shamil Basayev
Article Free Pass(born Jan. 14, 1965, near Vedeno, Chechen-Ingush A.S.S.R., U.S.S.R. [now in Chechnya, Russia]—died July 10, 2006, Ekazhevo, Ingushetia, Russia), Chechen separatist, guerrilla leader, and terrorist who , built a reputation for violent actions against Russian domination of his homeland that assumed legendary proportions. He gained international notoriety for the school takeover and subsequent massacre at Beslan, in Russia's North Ossetian Republic, in September 2004. After being held responsible for the 1991 hijacking of a Russian airliner to Turkey, Basayev became steadily more brutal as Russia's war in Chechnya dragged on and was considered to have led the taking of hostages at a hospital in Budyonnovsk, Russia, in 1995; the takeover of a Moscow theatre and the ensuing siege in 2002; the planting of the bomb that killed Akhmad Kadyrov, the pro-Moscow president of Chechnya, in May 2004; and a 2005 attack on Nalchik, in southern Russia, among countless other acts of terrorism and murder. Basayev was killed when a truck carrying dynamite exploded while he was preparing for another raid in the southern Russian republic of Ingushetia.

step 1. buy running shoes step 2. buy socks step 3. stop doing things barefoot
If you really need the feel for "barefoot" running, buy a pair of vibram five fingers. It's what they were designed for, and you don't ruin your feet.
It is the lack of shoes.
I dont think feet are meant for running on asphalt. Grass is ok, but asphalt is a hard surface so it will wear out your foot quite fast. This is also why runners need to replace their shoes. But if you do it enough your feet may grow fast enough, but you would probably get a lot of callous.
My god, and here I was thinking you couldn't get any more grotesque.
It is kinda silly of you to put your body through so much abuse and then be confused as to why... Did you actually not know that exercising barefoot would do this to you?
Mere Intricacy
No. What logical reason is there to think that? Barefoot is natural. Exercise (mainly walking) is natural. Why would the two together require a man made invention.
It may be natural.... but natural is not clean. Natural is eating raw meat and not showering. Natural is stepping outside of your house and ****ting in the dirt. Natural is being diseased and knocked-up by the time you are sixteen. Natural is a lot of things, but it is usually neither clean nor healthy. Humans began wearing footwear a long, long time ago. Our feet really aren't meant for rigorous barefoot exercise, as we've adapted to be both sedentary and dependent on technology.

Even then this is an external requirement and does not determine a gap free sequence stored in the table.

'Justice League' Could Be Coming in 2016 Co-Starring The Rock
'Batman Vs. Superman' (or as it's officially known, 'The Untitled Zack Snyder Super Hero Film'), is already crowded with superheroes, which makes it feel like Warner Brothers was trying to make the 'Man of Steel' sequel into a 'Justice League' movie. The latest rumor suggests that 'Batman Vs. Superman' won't be a 'Justice League' movie, but will lead directly into one that will co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' Overwhelms with New Photos and a Clip
'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' hits theaters in a little over a week, and this franchise reboot, which stars Chris Pine, Keira Knightley and Kevin Costner alongside director Kenneth Branagh, has just offered a number of stills along with the clip above.
Does Robert Downey Jr. Want to Put Mel Gibson in 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron?'
Robert Downey Jr. and Mel Gibson first worked together twenty-four years ago in the 1990 film 'Air America' and have maintained a friendship ever since. Which may be why there's a rumor that Downey Jr. is trying to pull strings and get both Gibson and Jodie Foster into the Marvel universe, and possibly into 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron.'
'Draft Day' Trailer: Kevin Costner's on a Comeback Kick in 2014
Could 2014 be the year of the Kevin Costner comeback? The actor, who was in huge hits in the late eighties and early nineties, wore out his welcome with pictures like 'The Postman,' but after appearing in this year's 'Man of Steel,' he's got five starring roles lined up for next year, including 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,' '3 Days to Kill' and now 'Draft Day,' which just released its first trailer and poster.
'Sabotage' Trailer: Arnold Schwarzenegger Battles the Cartel
The second trailer for David Ayer's 'Sabotage' plays down the comedy and plays up the stakes as Arnold Schwarzenegger heads a DEA team that finds millions of dollars, which leads to them being targeted for revenge by a drug cartel. And then there's a pesky problem that someone on the team may have taken some of the money.
Brad Pitt May Reteam with Tom Cruise for 'Go Like Hell'
It's been almost twenty years since 'Interview with a Vampire' hit theaters, which means it's been about twenty years since Tom Cruise last worked with Brad Pitt. But the duo could reunite for Joseph Kosinski's 'Go Like Hell.'
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Has a Great Spider-Eye View in New Poster
Though we're still months away from the release of Marc Webb's 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' the film is preparing a marketing blitz that should last until the film hits theaters in May. The film now has a new poster, which shows a storm brewing.
'The Purge 2′ Binges on Frank Grillo as Lead
'The Purge 2' is due out in June next year, so it's going to have to work quickly to make that release date. The film has just started casting, and Frank Grillo has signed on to play the lead.
New 'Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Photos Put the Spotlight on Electro
Sony is starting their marketing blitz for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' a move that should culminate Thursday with the release of the film's first trailer. But before we get to see these characters in motion, new stills have emerged to highlight the hero and his new main villain Electro (Jamie Foxx).
'Warcraft' Blinks and Moves Away From 'Star Wars: Episode 7′ as Universal Dates Future Titles
Duncan Jones' 'Warcraft' was originally scheduled for release on December 18, 2015, which it called before 'Star Wars: Episode 7' announced when it would be hitting theaters (many thought the new 'Star Wars' would go with mid-May as with all the previous films). But now that 'Episode 7' has picked the same weekend, 'Warcraft' blinked and has moved to March 11, 2016.
'Mad Max: Fury Road' Finally Gets a Release Date
There's been a long wait for 'Mad Max: Fury Road.' The last 'Max' film came out in 1985, while rumors of a fourth film have been building since 2003, when director George Miller first announced he had a script and was ready to start pre-production. Shooting commenced in the summer of 2012, but in the interim there's only been one picture from the set and little else. But now, finally, the film has a release date: May 15, 2015.
'Vampire Academy' Trailer: Finally an Intentionally Funny Young Adult Film
There have been a number of Young Adult adaptations made of late -- arguably too many -- that focus on the growing pains of becoming an adult while dealing with a dystopian future, or magic, or vampires and werewolves. But though these movies have had their jokes, none have been pitched as comedies, and that might be where 'Vampire Academy' succeeds.

In the twenty-first century is possible read questions like that. Do one thing, watch a mapa, search spain y booom!! surprise. We are in Europe. Sorry for my english.
Dear Mexican: I'm a white girl dating a Mexican from Jalisco that works for my dad. There lies the problem. Dad absolutely dislikes him and totally opposes me dating Ignacio and has been almost rude to him, which I don't like.
Some details now: I often visit Dad at his office and in one of those I met Ignacio, deepest dark eyes that I've ever seen...we flirted a little, exchanged phone numbers and that was for that day. Me and the guy hit off almost from the beginning, so I feel it was totally natural to start dating him, even if he lives in a not-so-nice place and we have different backgrounds. Of course, Dad gave me a whole speech that night at home, that I should not be talking to people I don't know, that what I was thinking, etc. And when we started dating a few days later, he got mad, refused to drive me to the mall and so on.
A few days later, we dated again, and we kissed and started our relationship, and my father started to behave like a drama queen, saying he was disappointed, that he thought he raised a good, decent girl and such things. I had no option but call him a racist and sore loser, which I'm sorry now to have said. Dad lectures me about me not worrying "about my future" and that I'm "losing it over a beaner," makes a scene many times when I'm going out with Ignacio and calls my cell phone often to "check out what I'm doing." He justifies his behavior because I'm his only daughter and says he wants the "best for me" (read: date a white guy). The fact is that I like my boyfriend a lot and don't see why I need to break up with him just to please my father. It gets complicated because Ignacio says one day he's gonna lose patience and answer back my Dad, or worse. What can I do to handle Dad's dramas? And to have him accept my relationship with Ignacio?
Una Confused Gringa
Dear Gabacha: So Nacho is good enough to work for your papi, but not good enough for his daughter? Typical gabacho exploiter...I would flaunt the relationship in front of your dad. Change your name to Xochitl. Blast mariachi in your home. Make your tortillas by hand — better yet, start eating nopales. Totally freak out your dad! But at the same time, be a responsible chica — you didn't specify your age, but given your reference to getting driven to the mall and still living at home, I'll assume you're in high school. So stay away from sex — but if you do, make sure to use birth control, because Mexican sperm is potent. Keep up your grades. Show Dad that your life won't worsen if a Mexi is your man, and that he's pendejo for even thinking about it. And remind him that frowning on interracial relationships is so Jim Crow era, and to get with the programa.
Dear Mexican: Why do you frijoleros (being myself of Iberian descent, if you can use gabacho you've gotta let me use this) assume that white people don't speak Spanish? You would not believe the crap I hear almost every day! We spoke Spanish when the Mexica were still ripping out the hearts of their neighbors.

Dear Gachupín: A Spaniard who thinks he's white? HA! You gachupines are as gabacho as Mexicans are infertile.
GOOD MEXICAN OF THE WEEK: Latino Health Access (LHA) is a pioneering nonprofit based in Orange County, California that has earned national acclaim for its promotora program, in which it trains community members how to teach healthy living habits in the city's low-income neighborhoods. Last week, the Board of Supervisors declined to agree to a contract with them? LHA's sin? Using "Latino" in its name — PENDEJO FAIL. Check out the group at latinohealthaccess.org, and tell the world the Mexican's American homeland is run by a bola of pendejos — but the world knew that, of course...
Ask the Mexican at email@example.com, be his fan on Facebook, follow him on Twitter or ask him a video question at youtube.com/askamexicano!
In the twenty-first century is possible read questions like that. Do one thing, watch a mapa, search spain y booom!! surprise. We are in Europe. Sorry for my english.
My father family can't stand mexicans.they say mexicans are wannabe spaniards but spaniards are white. My father made a point to us to stay the hell away from mexicans. His family came from France, Spain, and Germany and a great relative
that came from scandavia. His
family is racists.
who cares where all the same race were all human and depend on on another to live in this dysfunctional corrupt world if another girl is attracted to another guy who cares its the most natural instincts and feelings a human has to offer but Wat Ur dad is trying to say wen he told u he thought he raised a decent girl means that he is confused and only does wat his controlled instincts tell him to do for it is not totally his fault he thinks like that he has a right to give his opinion on the life of his offspring's even if it means offending u and Ur partner.u should test this partner ur dating n c if there is a real connection of love fulfillment and it isn't just physical ism materialism lust and pleasure and feeding of grounds and mistaking it for love....especially cause u two come from to different backgrounds and each others thoughts feelings and the way of seeing things r different and could collide with each others perceptive of life so no physical touch of any sort until u find out it is a legitimate connection of love and not just ur partners ego or uncontrolled urges of sexism physical ism materialism lust and pleasure cause people will often act on love depriving themselves from the main source and act as hypocrites to get wat they desire..period.
Let It Go... God Says Women && Men .... He Never Says Whites W/Whites, Blacks W/Blacks, Mexicans W/Mexicans Etc Etc Etc Lol ...

The fall crops are peas (super snappy edible-podded and sugar sprint snap peas), lettuce (mostly romaine and buttercrunch), and a single surviving baby choi.

New Year, new topic. Hopefully I got the name right this year. All Aerogardens are fine. The 3-week romaines aren't quite ready to harvest yet - this is usually true of romaines, they run a week slower getting started than the tenderer-leafed lettuces.

We opted for the evening buffet as this has a very large selection of starters and curries. Starters were all delicious however the curries were on the salty side. I ate that many starters I wasn't that concerned about the curry but overall the experience was good. Ambience is nice and the decor is also well thought out. Nice place to take your entire family. Alcohol is not permitted so the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed.

Tinkling the pearly shells
Popular beach competition names winners
DEIDRE MUSSENRelevant offers
Visitors to Hokitika Beach can be forgiven for thinking they are on the set of The Piano movie.
Tine Meincke, of Hokitika, transformed beach debris into a grand piano to claim the top award yesterday at the annual Driftwood and Sand sculpture competition.
Her creation, Sea Flat Major Steinway, was the first she had entered in the popular event.
Meincke, 38, knew of The Piano film, in which the titular instrument is transfered from a ship to a New Zealand beach, but her design originated from a desire to build a flotsam and jetsam orchestra.
Efforts to fashion a guitar proved tricky, so she scaled back to a piano.
A last-minute stomach bug nearly forced her to abandon the project, but she returned to finish it off yesterday morning, making it all the more sweet to claim the grand prize of $500 and the competition's trophy.
The people's choice award went to Christchurch man Steve Trevella's Gone Fishing.
He and partner Wendy Burton's quirky joint entry, Nothing to Wear, won the award for the most humorous entry.

Enough buyers begin their searches on a digital device these days that the information you present
online about yourself and the properties you represent will be the first impression you make on potential clients.
Which Home Features Are Buyers Looking For?
Although desired home features vary somewhat according to region, type of home, and buyer demographic, there are certain features that are consistently attractive to today's buyers. Interestingly, though, the importance of those features to searchers is very different depending on whether the home is new or previously owned.
According to the 2013 Profile of Buyer Home Feature Preferences, here are some of the differences in importance to the home searchers surveyed about interior design features:
What Do Buyers Want to See in an Online Property Listing?
Photos. People want photos. They also want detailed information about the property—all the information they'll need to imagine themselves living there, to help them decide if the home is right for them.
The 2012 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers reports the following responses to questions about the value of web site features:
How Are Mobile Devices Being Used for Online Home Searches?
Mobile devices now play a large role in home searches. Eighty-nine percent of new home shoppers use a mobile search engine, and 68% use a mobile application when doing research on available homes.

- Read general home information

Barix IP Audio Solutions Enable Digital Announcement System for Australian Securities Exchange
ADTEC Communications builds innovative solution to enable more efficient recording and delivery of stock announcements to traders
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, November 6, 2012 â The Australian Securities Exchange has simplified and enhanced the way it broadcasts stock information to subscribed traders, replacing an aging analog infrastructure with a new digital announcement system using Barix IP audio products. The upgrade allows ASX Group, the overarching brand responsible for a diverse range of Australian business market service activities, to record and deliver stock announcements to more traders with better efficiency.
ASX Group has gradually transitioned its audio delivery infrastructure from expensive leased line and copper circuit connections to an IP streaming solution. The initial phase added centralized streaming servers to deliver stock announcements to customer locations, where Barix Exstreamer 100 IP audio devices received and decoded announcements for traders.
The latest phase focuses on the central announcement system, replacing large, multi-seat analog announcement consoles with modern single-seat consoles to reduce system size and complexity. ADTEC Communications, the console manufacturer and systems integrator, incorporated Barix Annuncicom 1000 IP audio devices for control and streaming functionality.
Supplied by Australian distributor Lan 1, the Barix offering simplifies the entire record and transmission process for stock announcements. Foremost, it reduces the number of distinct audio destination channels from each ADTEC Communications console from twelve to two (one channel for internal and one for external destinations). The Annuncicom 1000 also includes inputs and outputs to integrate with existing analog recorders and digital streaming servers â offering a clear path to a digital recording environment.
Australian Securities Exchange network administrators can control all Annuncicom 1000 record and transmission paths from the new consoles via an integrated, easy-to-use web panel. This simplifies administration of the overall system, reducing labor and operational complexities associated with the previous system.
âBarix helped us develop a unique, custom audio solution that integrates existing technologies with cutting-edge digital solutions that ASX Group can use with efficiency today and expand moving forward,â said Jon Bolton, director, ADTEC Communications. Bolton added that he is working with Barix to develop a multicast solution for ASX Group to expand network distribution capabilities moving forward â essentially allowing subscribers to âopt inâ for specific announcements.

Barix AG, headquartered in Zurich Switzerland, specializes in research and development of state of the art IP based communication and control technology.

12 oz brown bottle
Bottled on date is blank
Served in a 20 oz tulip glass
Pours a brass colored orange with a hazy tint. A nice white colored head forms on top leaving trails of sticky lacings.
The backbone of this beer has a biscuit malt and wheat bread flavor with a touch of caramel sweetness. The sip turns bitter with citrus flavors like tangerine or orange and floral notes.
There are some 'off' flavors here too, which makes me think this may not be the freshest sample. I can make this beer work, but there are so many better English style IPA's out there.

Ylvis, Psy, and How Youtube Changed the Charts
The most interesting song on Billboard's Hot 100 right now is one that, in some ways, should have never even been on the chart in the first place. Ylvis's "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)", this week's No. 6, was quite literally recorded as a joke. Brotherly comedy duo Bard and Vegard Ylvisaker conceived of the EDM parody as a promotion for the new season of their Norwegian TV talk show I Kveld Med Ylvis ("Tonight With Ylvis"). Not unlike Jimmy Kimmel using a "quality" singer like Josh Groban for a musical sketch, the Ylvisaker brothers thought it'd be hilarious to employ their homeland's most successful global hitmakers, producer/writer duo Stargate (Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Beyoncé), so they could juxtapose their absurd musings on the noises of the woods' slyest animal with Top 40 radio-caliber beats.
More than 130 million global video views later, the gobsmacked Ylvisakers found they had succeeded all too well—the record was an actual hit, and nowhere bigger than in America, where it had become something of a social media sensation.
An oddly catchy, dance-driven novelty pop song, created by non-Americans, that breaks via viral video at the end of the summer and winds up scaling the Hot 100 in the early fall, much to the surprise of the song's creators—where have we heard that before?
The answer, of course, is Psy's 2012 K-Pop megasmash "Gangnam Style", still the most-watched video in YouTube history at 1.8 billion views and climbing. (Go on, add one more to its tally.) For the second year in a row, America is being infiltrated by a bit of foreign whimsy—almost to the week: "Gangnam Style" reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 in early October 2012 and stayed there for seven weeks.
Still, the comparison is a bit reductive, and not just because it demands a wide and somewhat xenophobic definition of the word "novelty": "The Fox" was fully intended by the Ylvisakers as a joke, while Psy's trifle was actually a sly satire of Korean materialism. There's also the fact that Psy sang in Korean, while the Ylvisakers sing in English—which, in theory, should make crossover easier for Ylvis.
For chart-watchers, though, the big difference between one year ago and now is that Billboard made a massive change on the Hot 100 in the intervening time: the addition, in February, of YouTube views to the chart formula.
Psy had to scale the Hot 100 last year with one hand tied behind his back; all those tens of millions of views of "Gangnam Style" didn't count in Billboard and only helped him insofar as they inspired a few million iTunes sales, which did count. Mind you, those digital sales weren't nothing; for more than a month, Psy had the best-selling song in America.
Psy's loss seems to be Ylvis's gain, and when "The Fox" debuted on the Hot 100 a month ago, streaming (a combination of YouTube and Spotify) was overwhelmingly responsible. "The Fox" debuted in mid-September on Billboard's Streaming Songs chart—one of the main components of the Hot 100—all the way up at No. 3. It has never left the Top Three on that chart, which explains how "The Fox" has scaled the Hot 100. As with "Gangnam" a year ago, many who see the video are inspired to hit iTunes, and so "The Fox" is also doing well on Digital Songs—another of Billboard's Hot 100 components.
So if "The Fox" is selling well and streaming like crazy, why is Ylvis stuck at No. 6? Shouldn't they be on their way to surpassing Psy and hitting No. 1 by now?
There's a third component to the Hot 100 that I haven't mentioned yet, and that's the culprit: radio. On Billboard's Radio Songs chart, the third leg of the Hot 100 stool, "The Fox" doesn't appear at all, even on a 100-position list. According to Billboard, last week "The Fox" had a U.S. radio audience of 1.8 million. Sounds like an impressive number, until you consider that the most-played song at radio, Katy Perry's former No. 1 "Roar", has an audience of 162 million.
"Gangnam Style" never got higher on Radio Songs last year than No. 12, but it's actually impressive Top 40 radio was willing to play a 95% Korean-language song that much at all. Over a half-century of chart history, radio generally has preferred its novelty records in English. Falco's 1986 No. 1 "Rock Me Amadeus" was helped in America by a half-English remix that kept the singer's delightfully Teutonic diction but threw in some recognizable words. Los Del Rio's 1996 hit "Macarena" languished on the charts for more than a year before the Bayside Boys remix that interspersed annoying American lyrics made it a smash.
Will Top 40 radio ever put "The Fox" into heavy rotation? Honestly, it may be an uphill battle (remember, this is a song whose chorus revolves around near-unpronounceables like "Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!"), but it's possible—and not without precedent. Though the song's trajectory may seem quinessentially post-internet, it actually falls in line with the long history of novelty records becoming accidental hits. According to Fred Bronson's Billboard Book of No. 1 Hits, songs as well-remembered now as Steam's 1969 No. 1 "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" or Carl Douglas's 1974 chart-topper "Kung Fu Fighting" started as jokes—tossed-off recordings meant to fill a 45's B-side that record buyers and deejays latched onto as hits. In an age of tightly formatted radio, it's a lot harder for novelties to reach No. 1, but—for better or worse—songs like Ylvis's now have other routes to the top.

Co-op blames economy as profits take huge dive
Friday 24 August 2012
The Co-operative Group has blamed an "unrelenting consumer downturn" for the mutual society's half-year profits tumbling by more 50 per cent.
Peter Marks, chief executive of the Co-op, who steps down in May, said the results, which show a weak performance at its banking and grocery businesses, have to be set in the context of the "dire economy".
He added: "A year ago I warned that we were operating in the worst conditions I have seen in more than 40 years in business. Has it got any better? No, it has got worse."
The Co-op posted a 56 per cent slump to £69m in profits before tax and member payments, the equivalent of the pre-tax figure used by listed companies, for the six months to 30 June. Revenues were flat at £6.56bn.
There is a widely held view that if the Co-op, which operates 4,800 retail trading outlets including funeral care, pharmacy and legal services, had been listed it would probably have been forced to issue a series of profit warnings and make possible management changes over the past two years.
Co-op Bank, which recently sealed the deal to buy 632 branches from Lloyds for up to £750m, swung heavily into the red last year. It turned from pre-tax profits of £9.8m to losses of £58.6m as bad debts soared. The bank blamed "challenging economic conditions" for the rise in bad debt provisions from £46.1m to £91.9m, with particularly bad figures in its corporate loan portfolio. Mr Marks said: "We are a corporate lender to small businesses and the downside of this is that more businesses have got into trouble."
The losses were struck after another £40m charge for mis-selling payment protection insurance, down from £90m last year, and the costs of the long-running negotiations to buy the Lloyds branches of £20m.
The Co-op's food business, which has nearly 3,000 shops, posted a 16.4 per cent fall in its operating profit to £119m. Like-for-like sales dropped 1.2 per cent.
Mr Marks said the grocery market remained highly competitive with up to 40 per cent of products on promotion, adding hard-pressed consumers were "spending less on food" for the first time in his career.
However, the Co-op's specialist businesses, notably pharmacy and funeral care, performed much better and both grew profits strongly.

After Rafael Nadal crushed Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-1 in the Monte Carlo final Sunday, Nadal fans rejoiced.

Considering the way the two combatants were striking the ball, the match between Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin del Potro on Centre Court on Monday evening had the makings of a classic.

on my knees in my watery confessional,
arms outstretched, releasing shame and guilt
to the impassive judgment of the earth and sky,
my head flung back, the silver ribbons of my heavy hair
encircling my face, a pagan's aureole –
now legs unlocked, my breasts abandoned
to the warm caressing waves,
i welcome into my embrace the green god of immortality,
to suck from him with greedy flesh that life-sustaining grace
that propels my quest for wholeness,
that binds my shriven soul to only those most elemental needs:
generosity of heart,
but yet i crave one bauble
with which to gaudily adorn my inner life:
the luxury of surrender to those
wild overwashing greenspring
tides of love.

I managed to bork my installation of it while trying to uninstall it. I installed via Muon (Kubuntu), and attempted uninstallation the same way.
I tried apt-get install/remove (on both mysqlserver and mysql), then tried manually removing files, but it just doesn't work. Somewhere it's determining not to regenerate its configs and not reinstall like a fresh install would.
How do i just get rid of everything mysql-related? I'd like to start fresh.
