Nothing wrong with a little balance, can't have everyone a democrat.
He offered no balance – he created fictitious news. So, if a balance between fact and fiction is important, well then, you're right.
No really, who is this?
what a fucking asshole you are and I hope you fucking die
stick to posting hot chicks as you know nothing about the real fucking world this guy did more good by exposing the likes of Wiener and those racist negros of ACORN than you will do n your whole pathetic life…………..
MikeT13 = Racist asshole who hates reality
"Racist negros". That makes you a racist you naive moron.
Your post may as well have just said "I am a hypocrite, please ignore everything I say". Please kill your family, your friends, your church group and then yourself.
mike T13
is clearly a idiot.
Did you honestly just say "racist negros of ACORN"? Negros? Really?
He made fake videos that have been proven to be fake and cost a lot of people everything they have worked for in life! All without any remorse. So I do I feel bad for his 4 kids, yes… But as for him?
And as for your racist comments? Dude there is a lovely place in hell for you and Breitbart to have a your fantasy threesome with Hannity!
hardeehar har. so glad that fucking hatemonger is dead . only wish the rest of his seed was dead and every other right wing hatemonger could suffer a painful fucking death
breitbart … bih: burn in hell. hahahahahahahahahahahhahahah bitch.
Well if saying Negro is racist, then I guess the flaming liberal Walter Cronkite was a racist too: http://youtu.be/Ng3YJJ3LFQk?t=2m15s
Man, you guys are new rare breed of asshole here. lol
Wait, how does the statement "racist negros" make someone racist? Don't they have the United Negro College Fund!? Negro League back in the day, so on and so forth? What am I missing here?
We're apparently supposed to believe that "race doesn't exist" despite insane amounts of evidence to the contrary, Boat.
Why are you looking for a rare new breed of asshole boat? Has your dads lost its snap?
Stick to making dick jokes A-hole.
Negro isn't a racist word…
first…dont know who he is tho….
Maybe, just maybe…….., there is a god…….
Ahh, get cancer Fish.
Fish is a bigger tool than usual today.
Good? Just guaranteed I'll never be affected by any of you or your sister sites advertisers. Goodbye superficial.
it is just salad and breadsticks, but when you qualify it with unlimited… i'll sure you'll be alright, fatty.
what's wrong with the Olive Garden for lunch? When I have supper at home I'll make it a big production at lunch I like to keep it real, by playing 'bad copy good cop with my stomache"
Good? Just guaranteed I'll turn of my ad blockers on your sister sites advertisers. I hope he suffered when he died.
Good? What a douchebag…..
Or rather – Good, what a douchebag!
Every time someone kind of famous dies, I always come to this site, sit back, and read the countless "UR AN ASSHOLE I'M NEVER COMING BACK!!!" butthurt rants. It's like a little ray of sunshine in my day.
PS- No one will miss you.
I expected the first gloating to come from the miscreants at the Daily Kos or something, not a cut-rate gossip blog. Liberals disgust me, you have no regard for human life.
Yeah, pretty much.
Especially when all of you come to his defense and say, yeah, we're glad he's dead and there's no problem with a celebrity blogger celebrating that.
Of course, repugs only care about life when it's one of their own. Otherwise it's OK to suggest the prez' assassination, for example. The world has lost nothing today, so let's move on.
Lindsay Lohan is a worthless whore …is a worthless whore.
Yeah, how many famous republicans are calling for prez Obama assassination?
Politics aside, what was lost was a husband and father. Jesus what s with you bleeding hearts?
Whereas the GOP just sanctions wars for no reason, and didn't bother equipping our troops with adequate armor because the company that made the best stuff wasn't a GOP supporting company.
Yeah murdering people by the score shows a much better regard for human life than just saying something bad about someone who's already dead on a COMEDY site no less.
YOU are a perfect poster child for the GOP. An indignant hypocrite convinced that your minority viewpoints are somehow more important than those of everyone else.
I didn't know who he was before, but now I'm GLAD he's dead, in fact I'm organizing an office party right now to celebrate his death and to hope all his estate issues were handled poorly so all his money goes to the government and gets handed out to poor black people.
TheMonkeemobile – there is a zero percent chance you work in an office. come on.
Right. When hate-mongers die, liberals are okay with it. When Iraq civilians die, conservatives fill up their gas tanks.
So you think the trouble in the middle east has made gas prices go down? I'm really surprised that this seems to be a common belief among Liberals, are you all actually retarded.
I don't get the gas tank comment but I am absolutely okay when a divisive, twisted hate-monger dies. One less rat gnawing away at the fabric of society? Good fucking riddance.
I agree 100%
But, this just show how liberals think.
Deleting bookmark now you piece of crap superficial writer.
You won't be missed.
Either he REALLY wanted to see a Davy Jones Post or he's too stupid to even reply to the right post.
Looks like Fish just showed how…. superficial he is.
This is lamentable. I did not agree with everything Breitbart said but he was an energetic force in the media. And he obviously upset the socialists.
Show some class.
Yeah, show some class, just like Breitbart did when Ted Kennedy died and he called him "villiain," a "prick," "a big ass mothe*******," and a "duplicitous bastard." Oh, and a "special pile of human excrement."
Such class. Have fun in Hell, asshole.
lmao you'll be back asshole
"Why do you grant a BULLY special status upon his death?"
– Andrew Breitbart on Ted Kennedy, in the hours following his death. He also Tweeted "Kennedy was a special pile of human excrement." that day.
So, yeah, fuck this guy.
Can't say I agree with the Fish but all you Brietbart defenders should remember what Beltliner said…but then that would probably be okay by all you nonjudgmental types…sheesh this is a gossip blog what you looking for deep thought…and why y'all here anyway, shouldn't you be protesting contraception or something?
Kennedy truly was a scum bag, unless you've a better description for someone who leaves a young woman to die a horrible death while he sobers and gets lawyered up.
Evil Coward might be adequate.
To be fair, Ted Kennedy wasn't exactly and angel.
Hey assholes, here is what Breitbart said just hours after Ted Kennedy died.
Breitbart unapologetically attacked Kennedy, calling him a "villain," "a big ass motherfucker," a "duplicitous bastard" and a "prick." "I'll shut my mouth for Carter. That's just politics. Kennedy was a special pile of human excrement,"
Stuff your righteous indignation up your prolapsed assholes.
Ted Kennedy was a piece of shit. He killed a bitch, then tried to hide from it. He was a fall down drunk, he dealt more crrokedly in politics than most people in history, and gloated about that fact, so yeah I agree with someone saying he was a piece of shit. Just like I didn't feel sorry for Michael Jackson's child molesting ass when he died, or Whitney Houston's drug addicted ass when she died. Breitbart was out exposing you worthless Liberals for the repugnant scumbags you are, and that's what you hated about him. You know, the same reason you can't stand Glen Beck. You hate anyone who doesn't conform and allow your country destroying scams to quietly go on under our noses while you steal the liberties and money of the American people. To anyone happy about him dying, you're a bigger piece of shit than you perceive him as.
Way to miss the actual point Rich. Breitbart slags a dead man before the body is in the ground and its cool with you but we slag a turd like Breitbart and get the smelling salts, Rich is going down. Don't come here with your 'Liberals are so mean and incivil' schtick and then prevaricate when it suits YOUR needs. Andy was a rancid spunk rag who worked tirelessly to promote the Republican agenda to ruin this country. Wrote blogs we disagree with? Fuck you.
Consider yourself trolled
Brietbart was a liar who maliciously edited videos to show falsehoods and destroy people's lives. Fuck him. And fuck you idiots who think he deserves anything but contempt.
Wake up. It's an election year so the only public gloating WILL BE on cut-rate gossip blogs and anything that's not mainstream.
Seems to me he was making a great living out of being controversial:
I'm committed to the destruction of the old media guard. And it's a very good business model. –Andrew Breitbart
Behind these observations, there's only a yawn…
How long until that last Weiner photo is cumming out?
"Do your Jobs!!!"
CORRECT as NEVER!
MoJoTee (as instructed) here is a link to the picture of Weiners' that Breitbart kindly spared from publication back when Rep Anthony Weiner was downtrodden. The serious hate spoken here of a man just for his youthful opinions on this site is just as predictable as the Weiner picture I'm going to have to give up here: http://tinyurl.com/2tcnbl
Superfish let me down with that "Good" blurt.
What a stupid post
Dedicated to a shitty human being
Good? Really? I can understand saying ugly things to be funny, but it doesn't seem to be where you were going with this.
Actually 'good' was short, pithy, and pretty much just the right level of succinct dismissiveness Andy deserved. I WISH I could have been that laconic when I heard the news. It was far more elegant than my referring to him as a rancid spunk rag (which he was by the way).
Are you people fucking kidding me…I am all about too soon humor and everything. But just good? You can do better than that! Fucking lame and bullshit.
Fish is on vacation…this was Photo Boy's brilliant move.
As if Obama wasn't a socialist.
This is a total troll. … and just look at how successful it is.
I think the comments were dying off on this site.
Don't get me wrong – I don't agree with the post, but you have to admit that this is a whole lotta action on just one pic.
Nobody the Republican hate machine won't have a replacement for before I finish typing this entry.
Good?? And I'm done with the Superficial! Stick with Hollywood entertainment and movie stars, it's what you're best at.
you wont be missed
I'll totally back Fish up on this. Andrew Breitbart was a fucking scumbag. "Wah! He was a dad, a son, a brother…" so was Geghis Kahn.
I hope Breitbart rots in hell and I hope people who make their livings spreading hate and divisiveness (like Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, etc) are close behind.
Yes because only conservative commentators are doing things like that.
You people are sick. Sadly so.
We've always been sick. Proudly so.
I don't feel like you can say something like that without including Rachel Maddow and Keith Olberman in the same breath
Olbermann and Madow don't say things like "God hates fags" or "Hurricane Katrina is God's revenge for gay marriage". The Republican pundits are the worst examples of Freedom of Speech that this country has to offer. I'm just trying to live up to the standards that they set by saying that Breitbart can eat a bag of dicks in Hell.
Oh yes Moderate (if that IS your real name) do tell us how Maddow and Olberman call for the poisoning of Supreme Court Justices, or pray for their death from cancer, or edit video clips to ruin an innocent persons career, or bug a senators offices (okay, that was Breitbarts little monkey O'Keefe), or attack the children of opposition presidents like Amy Carter, Chelsea Clinton, and Sasha and Malia Obama. These maggots you think are heroes, they are pigs! There is zero equivalency and you are an ass to suggest there is.
Actually, Carr's criticism of utopianism is really interesting.
you mean like the one jesus wanted?
And I hope we don't see a return of the Republican utopia, Germany tried it in the 40s and it was kind of a bust.
Agreed Bowman. One of the first sensible posts here. Plus I hate the hypocrites here who only decide they have manners after someone dies.
So you hope only people who disagree with you die? Okay.
Interesting. The First Amendment was written to protect personal expression of political thoughts. Not so that Hugh Hefner could make his fortune plastering nude women through overpriced magazines.
Given Fish's daily postings of swimwear and wardrobe malfunctions – it's just a little (!) ironic (moronic?) that he's getting slammed for uttering his personal political position on a professional pot stirrer.
Is that the laughter I hear filtering down from above?
False choice fallacy,.. No reason I would ever have to. This is a discussion about his death and what a dipshit he was and how some people will think it's good that he's dead (ie the world is a better place w/out him)
In a situation where I was near them and or talking to them I'd keep my opinions to myself out of respect for THEM, not HIM.
If they come here and read the comments,..then tough shit, they get a dose of truth, if some web comments can alter their feelings then they weren't very genuine anyway.
Respect = Only for those who deserve it,… He did not.
Liberals only believe in free speech when it is liberal speech. Hatred spews from the oh-so-tolerant left.
False choice bullshit. You're a leftwing douchebag who only feels leftwing douchebags deserve free speech. Leftwing douchebags are the kings of projectionism. They accuse people with whom they disagree of doing what they themselves do. If someone disagrees with you, you believe it's okay to lie and say anything to try to silence that person, and if that person dies, you rejoice like Hitler standing in front of a can of Zyklon B.
Typical Democrat, absolutely zero class, out of touch with any reality that was spoon fed to them by pop-culture media and inevitably going to resort back to implying all republicans are racist.
+1 @TheMonkeemobile
I was brought up not to rejoice at anyone's death—okay, maybe Hitler, but that was before my time—so I can't defend Fish here. However, I do find it interesting that every day people post comments here actively wishing for the death of Kim Kardashian/Lindsay Lohan/etc. and no one bats an eye; but when someone's death is actually applauded, so many people get all "he had a family, you bastard!" and "what happened to peace and love, you fucking liberal?" If death is so sacrosanct, then make up your minds.
TomFrank, you just know that Kim Kardashian's mom or Lindsay Lohan's mom would be on tv within days if not hours to discuss THEIR grief, and not actually be grieving, but scheming to benefit from their children's deaths. I think that might be a part of the way people respond. Either way, I don't think this Breitbart guy was quite the villain that some people are. In fact, I have probably only heard of him once. I don't think he's the kind of person who earned the "glad he's dead" type designation yet. He was definitely no Stalin.
"Hatred spews from the oh-so-tolerant left."
Yeah, having been called traitors and fifth columnists and America-haters by conservatives for three decades will do that.
I'm sorry we're not just sitting back and taking it with a smile anymore. Conservatives want to lecture us on civility? To quote a revered Republican like Dick Cheney: Go fuck yourself.
Just because someone has a family does not mean they love them or give a shit if they are dead.
How many conservatives on here know that Bill O'Reilly's wife left him months ago for a police officer friend of theirs? The world is full of pieces of shit on both sides and I guarantee their wives and kids are happy when they die and they can collect all the money and not have to deal with their bullshit anymore.
Brian K. Thank you ever so much for once again demonstrating that liberal lefts believe that everyone is entitled to an opinion – as long as its theirs.
Honestly, I've never seen the left wing sit back and "take" anything – they're too busy hammering on how no one can agree to disagree, no decision is a decision, etc. To the point I've run and hidden rather than continue the pain.
Spoken as a moderate not a conservative.
At least conservatives will let it (and you) go…
So happy this douchebag is dead, hopefully Rush is next.
He was just a miserable, hateful human being.
O'Reilly and Hannity might be douchebags, but they laugh and have fun and seem like they can actually function in normal society and you could actually live around them. This is the kind of guy that just brings the whole mood down in any room as soon as he walks in.
How many times have you been in a room with him? None would be my guess. STFU.
I'm not a left winger. I hope this shitfuck suffered when he died. I hope his family suffers too. I hope his estate is poorly managed and ends up in the hands of black welfare recipients.
"The tolerance of the left."
Why should we be tolerant of a proven liar, a man who made his fortune doctoring videos and denouncing his political opponents as evil traitors?
I'm tolerant of people who deserve it. This piece of garbage did not.
The Superficial got hacked?
Go fuck yourself, you vile piece of shit. He was 43 years old with young children.
osama bin laden had young children too
Are you seriously comparing a loud mouth with different political views to Osama bin Laden? That's a bit of a reach even for a lib.
He was a coke addict who happened to breed. Go hang yourself in your garage. Maybe somebody will come looking for you before 2013.
Ok, enough with the suicide suggestions, already. No, I'm not new here, but suicide is a true tragedy. I know at least 3 people who did, and it left in its wake a trail of destruction that exists even now and always will. The survivors are still here. Don't lower yourself so far. You must be better than that…right? Right? Well, whatever.
Liberals are such hypocritical douchebags. Claim to love peace and harmony but offer up drivel like "good" when another human being dies. The liberal motto: Everyone should be free to speak their mind, unless they disagree with me.
I can't wait for Photo Boy to die of natural causes so I can say "good". What a dickbag.
Agree 100% with the liberal motto. Hypocrites.
Liberals = Say "Good" when some vile piece of shit dies.
Conservatives = Enact policy that gets good people killed/murdered for no reason but say nice things about them.
Yeah Liberals are "the bad guys"
Whatever helps you sleep at night Monkee.
Liberals = enact policies that murder over 40 million innocent unborn children.
Conservatives = enact policies that kill murderers in jail.
No one's an angel, but at least don't be a hypocrite.
Only a fucking moron actually falls for this liberal vs. conservative trash. It was designed to conquer you. But you can't see past your own perspective, and get fleeced every time.
Liberals are winning. Teabaggers are getting old and dying. Enjoy. XOXO
@Bonk reporting live from Zuccotti Park. Must break now for drum circle, group hug and hypocritical celebration of death. Now where is my iPhone so I can Tweet from Starbucks about how terrible big companies are?
I don't think the Superficial writer represents all Liberals…I don't really think this post is appropriate or in good taste, maybe I'm a liberal, maybe a conservative, maybe I'm a racist, maybe I respect people, maybe I hide behind the internet to make inflammatory remarks. Regardless, this is in bad taste.
maybe I'm gay, maybe straight, maybe shallow, maybe sincere, maybe human, maybe a dog man like John Candy in Spaceballs.
You ARE free to speak your mind and I'm free to point out what a fucking retard you are. Ain't America grand?
"The liberal motto: Everyone should be free to speak their mind, unless they disagree with me."
Breitbart was allowed to speak his mind. Now, when he spoke it was all lies and hatred, but no one stopped him.
And now that he's dead, we're speaking our mind. It's the conservatives on this thread who are saying we shouldn't be able to express our feelings.
Jesus, what a bunch of fucking crybabies. Breitbart shat all over Ted Kennedy when he died, but no one can say a word about him now that he's dead without the Patriotically Correct word police here coming to tell us what we can or can't say.
Get fucked.
You just lost a reader.
And gained 50.
my favorite thing about conservative commentors (Q4H) is their unsupported certitude. it's just awesome to behold.
You just lost a viewer. Fuck you, loser. Stay in your mom's basement in your little home town. Brietbart made an empire of the truth. You are a lame web page that I used to view, and help your numbers. No more.
You should do your research, this site is worth tens of millions of dollars. If you really think sites like this are run out of to quote the lamest term ever, mom's basements, you are a delusional idiot.
Ha ha ha, couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
What does the murder of a civic-minded young woman have to do with this?
Christ, you are a rotten person.
Your mom only makes that much because she's a camera stripper that's willing to do triple anal, triple vaginal and let's face it most other people aren't going to want to do that. Also that web site is full of viruses.
LOL, good one :)
BUZZMEDIA huh?
Extremely bad form. Disagreeing with someone vehemently or despising them is one thing.
Wishing death on them or rejoicing in their death is something else entirely (unless they're out murdering and/or committing crimes against humanity…which he most certainly did not do despite Bowman's idiotic comparison of him to Genghis Kahn).
Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to reconsider whether or not to remain a reader here. Disappointing.
It's f***ing politics, grow up.
PS – I love how Bowman condemns "spreading hate and divisiveness" and yet can only rattle off right wing commentators as examples (and curiously, makes a hate-filled and divisive comment/post himself). I think you need to open your eyes, and take some deep breaths. Seriously. Use a bag if you need to.
Breitbart co-hosted with GOProud a homosexual friendly party at last years CPAC convention. He supported and respected Gay people. But knowing that would require you liberal jizz jars to venture out of your echo chamber long enough to do some actual journalism.
Can't wait until Nov when Obama and his brownshirt thugs get sent packing, and dumb cunts like Bowman and Monkeemobile stumble around wondering "what happened?"
'It's in Revelations, people'. You sir, win the internet for today.
With a handle like "Progressive = Fascist", I know this will be tough for you to comprehend, so I'll type slowly.
Just because I think Breitbart was a piece of shit, doesn't make me an ardent Obama supporter. IMHO ALL the politicians in this country are scumbags (alright, MOST of them) but as long as there are people like Breitbart turning American citizens against each other and distracting them from the real problems in this country( like the corruption and greed that are destroying a once-great nation) we'll never get this country back on track.
Read a book.
Mein Kampf doesn't count.
I'm curious where you continue to get these anti-homosexual "quotes" from.
He was on the advisory board for GOProud (a gay organization).
One of the folks he had a close relationship with was none other than Ariana Huffington. I doubt seriously that she would have maintained that friendship if he had been the homophobic person you paint him to be.
I reiterate: take some deep breaths. You seriously need it.
haha Bowman you're on a roll. Good man.
You can donate your brain to science now since clearly you're doing just fine without it.
never to return. There are plenty of other stupid sites to get the same content. You shouldn't have let your politics and hatred offend half the people in the country. Fuck you Superficial.
More titties for us!
And you'll be back tomorrow, wanker.
Why am I not surprised that the majority of readers on a retarded celebrity blog are cunty conservatives?
I believe the correct term is "cuntish"
I don't know what everyone's got their knickers in a twist about…it's not like any of you knew him and it's not like anything Fish or Photoboy says has any bearing on Breitbart's life or record. Was it tasteless? Yeah, but if you're coming here for taste you probably should move along. This is where you come to hear Stephen Hawking talk about bitches and see tits, maybe catch the occasional gay joke.
Additionally, I love how everyone is using this as an excuse to claim that liberals are vile, hate-filled people who have no respect for people, considering the number of times I've been told by a right-winger that I'm going to burn in hell for eternity because I have the audacity to not believe the same things they believe. For those of you who are reflexively lashing out at liberals because of this, back the fuck off. We've all people and we all think ill of those we don't like. We right-wingers crowing and being just as insensitive when Ted Kennedy died.
Good post. It's in people's nature to generalize and bash a group of people when they have nothing of real substance to offer, such as is the case here with many posters. On this site, you get what you come for and if someone is too fragile to handle bluntness, they should get out of here rather than complain or ask the site owner to change for them.
I don't revel in people dying, but this guy was a shitstain on the underwear of America. He's gone as far as saying he hoped that we'd have open conflict with each other (e.g. another civil war) so that all the 'real' Americans could kill all the 'sissy liberals'.
That's the type of dialogue that was going through this man's head on a regular basis.
Good riddance.
Breitbart was a man that was filled with hate and rage, hopefully he can now find peace.
oh and good bye to the fascist that frequent this site. you will not be missed.
I only stop by occasionally. but you just gained a daily reader.

Wow this is awesome,..
The Base IQ readership of this site just went up about 100 points if all the people threatening to not come back really do so.
Now the comments sections will just be funny and intelligent.
Republicans are too busy spending their money on tithes and classes to "fix" their homosexuality so it's not like they would spend money on any of the advertisers on this page anyway.
Good riddance.
(Oh and replying just proves you're a hypocrite and didn't leave, of course I expect lies from conservatives so…..)
I have compassion for a wide range of people but I don't have to like them. I may wish for the comfort of his bereaved family and friends and celebrate that his poisonous voice has been removed from the choir. You act like we are not supposed to differentiate between the lives of good men and wicked and treat them all the same… wouldn't that be… socialist?
typical liberal, another paragon of tolerance and restraint.
he's with the angels now (but only with the REALLY douchey, obnoxious and racist ones…)
Regardless of how the Superficial handled this story, doesn't anyone else think it's weird that he died of "natural causes" at 43? How does that happen?
He stopped talking for about 20min so all his vile shit backed up inside him. Sepsis probably.
Oh snap!
Being a complete asshole is apparently really bad for your health.
for real, i bet it was coke.
At least that's how most conservatives want to die.
Didn't you know? "Natural causes" is a nice way the media has found to say "had a heart like swiss cheese from years of cocaine abuse."
I usually get a feeling about things…likely he was offed in a way that could be easily made to look like it was heart-attack or stroke-related. Wait and see. It's too convenient.
I am also glad he is dead. He was a scumbag regardless of his political affiliation.
Good? Ick.
we don't need to wait for the coroners report. I know what the cause of death is: "loving his country too much!".
The guy was a douchebag in life but you shouldn't enjoy his death.
His kids are going to cry themselves to sleep for months or years over this – that should affect you even if nothing else does.
Be nicer to each other FFS.
You assume too much. Not all of us love our relatives. Often shit bags in public are even worse at home.
Well that logic chain works for anybody. I guess now we can say "good" anytime somebody dies because they might be horrible at home.
A lot of you guys are blood thirsty. It's not a good look.
Yeah, and all the right wing fascists will shit themselves with joy, and celebrate in the streets. Fucking hypocrites.
The idiot below me commenting on right wings as fascists shows how stupid the ill-informed the common democrat is. If you just take catch phrases you learn from the shit media you are brainwashed by and use them in sentences dose not make you informed on the topic. You obviously don't understand the ideologies of fascism and if you did you would realize the democratic views are much more inline with those ideologies than any group on the right. Way to go stupid
Yeah John. Define Socialism for us and contrast it with communism WITHOUT going to google, you fucking hump. The fact that you are trying to equate the Democrats with fascism just shows how you will swallow anything the rightwing propaganda mills wipe under your nose. Maybe you should avoid airport bathrooms.
Hahaha this is freaking amazing. Who knew Superficial readers were so humorless and conservative…seems ironic!
I was thinking huh, people who laugh at dick & fart jokes, make fun of queers, demean women, and enjoy racist jokes, this definitely a conservative site. No wonder they are mad.
Why do you assume it has to be about politics? I think it's more of an empathy thing. People weren't thrilled with "good" comments when Gabby Giffords was head-capped.
Superficial writer, you suck. Good bye forever, you hater.
If this is the Fish's way of getting a dig in on somebody he didn't like fine, but Davey Jones didn't even get mentioned yesterday, Clearly the larger story got missed.
I honestly think most of these people (Rush, Hannity, Maher, Moor) are just out to make a buck. They are entertaining and say what a certain market block wants to hear… sorta like the Superficial ;)
Anyway, I hope there are liberals in heaven/hell that Breibart can annoy… I think he's pretty witty most of the time. Not as witty as Bill Maher, but pretty good.
The problem is they do is straight faced and present "opinion commentary" (ie lies mainly) as "news".
They actually influence the ideas of people who think that what they say is factual.
It pisses conservatives off, but there's more truth in "The Daily Show" a COMEDY show, than there is in most of the Serious Conservative News Outlets. They see it as direct competition and completely miss the irony in how bad that means their products must be.
Yes, please do not post those mentioned above although Paris is tame now. Also include that bloated thing that is cast as Elizabeth Taylor.
I am middle right. I have no party because I like parts of the platforms of both parties.
Isn't this guy the one who released the doctored tape of the democratic lady and caused her to lose her job? If so, then no love lost.
Bring on the boobies!
lmao — exactly….and the 40 yr old minor who married that one actor….
This was a crappy thing to say about a guy who worked hard, died young, and left behind a wife and four children. Did you know that he was the guy who worked with Arianna Huffington and came up with the design for the Huffington Post, even though he was politically conservative? You glad Davy Jones and Whitney Houston are dead, too?
I always celebrate the death of people who worked actively to make my life suck.
If he had kept it in his pants instead of breeding more conservatives then he wouldn't have left so many kids behind. I hate conservatives and liberals equally. I want more moderates because maybe we would see the return of common sense. In the meantime I come here to be entertained, and that's what the boys do. So suck it up and STFU.
Could not agree more.
Fish, par for the course on your moronic liberal contradictory views. Not offended though, will keep visiting 'cause your funny batting average is still good.
It's a shame. I was such a big fan of your site….until this post. I'm sure my daily hit will have little or no affect on your numbers, but you will never have it again
Mine either. It's supposed to be a fun site but he's gotten worse with having to add all the hatred toward Republicans to it. Regardless of my political affiliation I read this site for fun, not commentary. The good remark just did me in and I too am taking it out of my favorites and will find something else fun to read. What a great guy for being happy that a wife/ mom and two small innocent children will never have their husband/daddy ever again. You're a total jerk Superficial, a total jerk.
The "Good" remark was callus and unkind. No matter what the political leanings, that was uncalled for. I didn't see you making the same comments about Whitney Houston upon her untimely death. This is a gossip site – not some sort of political blog. Seeing the remark you made, Superficial, makes me realize that this site isn't worth the time anymore. I'm with Liev and Jo. My one click on the page may not make a difference, but you'll never get it again.
sorry, I don't know the man.
Lucky you.

Biliary reconstruction describes a variety of surgical procedures to replace portions of your child's biliary (bile delivery) system that are missing at birth or damaged due to illness.
Some conditions that could require biliary reconstruction include:
Pioneering treatment
Boston Children's Hospital's Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery is known internationally for having pioneered or perfected many of the minimally invasive surgical procedures in use today. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is surgery done through small incisions using miniaturized surgical tools and cameras or telescopes. MIS usually results in less pain, less scarring, and a quicker recovery time for our patients.
One form of MIS used for biliary reconstruction is called laparoscopic surgery, during which surgeons use small instruments guided by a small telescope are passed through the body wall. The instruments are held and manipulated by the surgeon who controls their movements, while watching them on a video screen. This form of MIS has been used widely in adults and more recently in children.
Boston Children's Hospital was the first pediatric hospital to acquire a surgical robot. Today, surgeons use the technology for many procedures and perform more pediatric robotic surgeries on more children than any other hospital in the world.
Surgeons at Children's use robotic surgery to perform biliary reconstructions— it significantly reduces the incision size, pain, length of hospitalization recuperation time and risk of infection.

How is biliary reconstruction performed?
There are a variety of surgical procedures to replace portions of your child's biliary system. Some may be done laparoscopically (using a flexible fiberoptic instrument).
What are the advantages of minimally invasive surgical techniques such as laparoscopy?
The advantages of MIS include:
It leaves very small scars, which are difficult to see after several months.
It means your child will have less pain after surgery.
It and usually results in a shorter hospital stay. In younger children this advantage is less noticeable because young children recover easier from even major surgery. In school-age and adolescent children, however, the difference is very noticeable. In many cases children can go home in one to two days instead of three to four days. They are be able to return to their normal activities more quickly as well. This will depend upon the particular operation, but even after a kidney operation it can be possible to be back to normal activity in seven days instead of two or three weeks.
What are the disadvantages of these surgical techniques?
Surgeons at Boston Children's Hospital use the latest robotic surgery technology to assist with biliary reconstruction procedures.
The technology allows surgeons to use minimally-invasive surgical techniques, which reduce the size of the incision required, pain and the risk of infection —and speed your child's recovery.
What's robotic surgery?
Robotic surgery is an exciting and promising area of minimally invasive surgery. Using a high-tech robot, specially trained surgeons perform complex operations through very small surgical openings. What this means for you and your child: less pain, faster recoveries, shorter hospital stays, smaller scars and wider smiles.
In 2001, Boston Children's Hospital was the first pediatric hospital to acquire a surgical robot. Today, surgeons use the technology for many procedures and perform more pediatric robotic surgeries on more children than any other hospital in the world.
Boston Children's specialists have even worked with engineers and medical device manufacturers to develop and refine the robotic equipment specifically for use in children, and they train surgeons from around the world on its use.
Recently, Boston Children's upgraded to the newest version of the robotic system.
The new robot is much smaller (making it easier to move around, vastly reducing set-up time) and features enhanced high-definition 3D vision and two consoles so that surgeons can collaborate during a procedure.
What are the benefits of robotic surgery for a biliary reconstruction?
Robotic surgery helps your child recover faster.
The surgical robot's miniaturized equipment is precise and flexible, and its enhanced imaging provides sharp, clear, 3-D views of the operating site. During robotic surgery, two or three small (1/2" or less) incisions allow a camera and tiny robotic surgical instruments inside the body. Each subtle movement of the surgeon's wrists, hands, and fingers is precisely translated to the tiny surgical instruments inside your child's body.
This adds up to less pain, smaller incisions and faster recovery, all things that can bring a smile to your face — and your child's.
There are relatively few disadvantages to MIS methods, so as long as the surgeon is experienced in using them. More surgeons are being trained in these methods and it is becoming a routine part of training in many centers, like ours.
The overall safety of MIS techniques appears to be equivalent to open surgery in both children and adults. As with all surgery, the experience of the surgeon and the center where it is being performed is very important to the outcome of the operation.
In rare cases, the operation will not be able to be finished laparoscopically, due to unusual anatomy, bleeding or complications from the procedure. In these cases, the operation will nearly always be finished by traditional methods of "open" surgery, with an incision.
However, there are many some procedures for which MIS is not appropriate for. Technical limitations of MIS equipment, -- such as lack of dexterity of the tools, -- make it unsuitable for many certain pediatric procedures.
What is the long-term outlook for a child who requires has biliary reconstruction?
Many children who undergo biliary reconstruction achieve normal digestive function and liver function.
Your child's physician can give you a more specific prognosis idea of what you can expect.
Omegaven saves livers
Many children who have complex liver or intestinal surgery can't eat normally for a long time after. These children are placed on an intravenous method of feeding called parenteral nutrition (PN).
Back in 2001, surgeon Mark Puder, MD, surgical resident Jenna Garza, MD, and pharmacist Kathy Gura, PharmD, decided to conduct studies in mice to see why PN was causing liver disease. They found evidence that the fat used in standard PN solutions, called Intralipid was contributing to liver disease by causing fat to accumulate in the liver.
They then tested Omegaven, an IV fat mixture made from fish oil. Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to prevent fat accumulation and have anti-inflammatory properties.
As they hoped, PN using Omegaven as the fat prevented liver injury in the mice.
Surgeon Rusty Jennings, MD, who directs Children's Advanced Fetal Care Center, had heard of Puder's research and wanted to try Omegaven in one of his patient. Since Omegaven isn't approved for use in the U.S., Puder had to receive special permission from the FDA to use Omegaven rather than Intralipid in his PN solution.
Within 8 weeks, the baby's liver function improved so much that he was removed from the liver transplant list.
Puder later treated a second child, a premature baby whose bowel had ruptured; he too had complete resolution of liver disease.
Puder and colleagues are now conducting a formal clinical trial, and have received funding from the March of Dimes aimed at preventing liver disease in PN recipients. Their work has caused a worldwide shift in treatment. More than 100 children at Children's Hospital have received Omegaven, and over 90 percent of them are still alive.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

Yes, as soon as I looked at the bottom 3 I figured if Big Mike got voted off they'd use their stupid save.
As for this week, I'm guessing Tim Urban's luck has run out, and I'm hoping that either a.) America tells the judges to suck it and Big Mike goes home a week later anyway, or b.)

The Impact of a Selfie Obsessed Society
Updated: Tuesday, April 22 2014, 12:15 AM CDT
Last week's stabbing spree at a Pennsylvania high school becomes part of a growing trend - taking selfies during class. Some students from the high school even took selfies of their stab wounds while in the hospital. And it was just last month that a woman who had escaped a plane crash snapped a pic right afterwards. As news correspondent Amber Miller found out pictures like those can start some important conversations. In a world of social media selfies like this one taken during the academy awards are the norm.
"If you want to get to a wide variety of people it's easier as opposed to a group message or texting each and every person, you can just put one post and everyone will see it.," says Dashanay Holloway, a 17-year-old student.
But what happens when selfies like this one by Nate Scimio are posted? It shows Scimio pointing to what is believed to be a bandaged up stab wound received during Wednesday's mass stabbing at Franklin Regional High School near Pittsburgh. The caption reading "chillin at children's". From students to parents everyone seems to have an opinion on the timing of selfies.
"Anybody 35 and above would. I understand they think it's insensitive. 35 and under, of course not, that's the norm," says Bill Baker an area parent.
Holloway says that this situation is different because the girl taking the picture had the actual plane in the background.
"With the boy that's a different situation because he didn't have to send it to anyone he just took a picture of himself," another student stated.
Elliot King is a professor of emerging media at Loyola University Maryland and he believes that if you stick yourself up there on a 'social media stage' of sorts. Other people then get to criticize you and say you shouldn't do that. King went on to say that it's simply outrageous, wrong and insensitive. King says whether it's accepted or criticized one thing it does definitely do is it triggers important conversations.
"I think it's really good that the older generation comes in and says this is rude and you shouldn't have done that. This is inappropriate and they have that dialogue that goes on. I think that's what learning is all about," Professor King said. While most may think there is no end to the selfie craze he thinks otherwise. He thinks future generations will learn from the past and do things differently.

Rosary prayed in dozens of languages to prepare for 'Global Living Rosary'
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (The Catholic Key) - Dressed in a bright red costume, Aiwal Gon G spoke the first half of the "Hail Mary" in Denka, the language of her native Sudan.
ONE VOICE - Aiwal Gong G leads the "Hail Mary" in Denka, a language of Sudan, as Father Jim Kelleher holds the microphone during a Global Living Rosary at Redemptorist Parish March 10. A huge public rosary will be celebrated May 25 at Kauffman Stadium. (Kevin Kelly/Key)
Denka was one of four dozen languages prayed at the March 10 dress rehearsal for the huge Global Living Rosary, set for May 25, the Feast of Corpus Christi, at Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals.
Anastasia Odongo prayed in Luo, a language of her native Kenya. Her homeland is also beset by violence, but Odongo said she remains happy and confident.
"I am not worried," she said. "I pray for them every day. We believe in God. We know him."
Prayers for peace
One purpose of the Global Living Rosary is to seek the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary to bring peace in individual hearts, in families, in communities, in nations, and in the world, said the founder of the Global Living Rosary movement, Father Jim Kelleher, as he implored the crowd that nearly filled the huge midtown Kansas City church.
A priest of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, Father Kelleher is continuing the work of the late Father Patrick Peyton, the legendary "Rosary Priest," who led massive rosary rallies in the 1940s and 1950s to inspire thousands of Catholic families to pray the rosary together in their homes.
"How powerful are you? Do you have the power of a president?" he asked.
"I suggest you have a much greater power," Father Kelleher said. "It is the power to gather together in your living rooms, in your own domestic church, and pray the rosary. You will be calling on the Prince of Peace through the intercession of the Queen of Peace. The blessings he will give will radiate through this city."
Capacity crowd expected
More than a year in the planning by a committee that is drawing together people from both the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph and the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, the Global Living Rosary event hopes to fill Kauffman Stadium, which seats some 40,000 people.
If it does, it will eclipse the largest single public act of Catholic worship in Kansas City — the Oct. 30, 1955, Family Rosary rally led by Father Peyton at the former Municipal Stadium.
Betty Hoag said it can be done.
Hoag, in Kansas City for the dress rehearsal to offer her expertise to the local committee, served on the committee that planned the first ever Global Living Rosary, an event that drew more than 29,000 to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on May 13, 2005.
"When Mary wants something to happen, it will happen," Hoag said.
Hoag remembered when Father Kelleher, then serving in Dallas, was inspired to launch the Global Living Rosary movement.
Father Kelleher was leading a group from Dallas on a pilgrimage to the Vatican to witness the beatification of Blessed Mother Teresa. That day, Oct. 19, 2003, was also World Mission Sunday, and the Dallas group prayed with the crowd at St. Peter's Square a public rosary, offered in the scores of languages of the world.
"Father said, 'We need to have a living rosary,'" Hoag recalled. Nineteen months later, tens of thousands prayed together in the Cotton Bowl.
Hoag promised the people who attend that Kansas City event that they will never forget it.
"People in Dallas are still saying, 'I didn't realize there were so many nationalities in Dallas,'" she said. "It is like a big, flowering garden, and they are all Catholic."
Fifty languages represented
Deacon Justin McNemany, who is leading the local committee, said about 50 languages were heard during the dress rehearsal — the lead half of the Our Fathers and the Hail Marys spoken in one language with the response from the congregation in English.
The languages by world region were divided into the five decades of the rosary — Asia, Oceania, Europe, the Americas, Africa — with each prayer leader dressed in the native costume of their ancestors.
Prayers were sent to heaven in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese. They were heard in Sinhalese, a language of Sri Lanka, in Tagalog, and in a variety of languages from the Pacific Islands.
Prayers were spoken in Croatian, in Polish, in French, in Italian. They were spoken in Portugese, in Spanish, in Hawaiian and in Native American tongues.
It was a congregation that celebrated its diversity and its Catholicism, despite coming from all corners of not only both dioceses but of the world. That did not escape the notice of Redemptorist Father James Shea, pastor of the host parish.
"At Redemptorist, there are no strangers," he said to the crowd as he led a sign of peace at the end of the rosary. "There are only friends that haven't met yet."
The gift of memory
In his homily for the prayer service, Msgr. Raymond Burger told the congregation that memory is one of God's great gifts.
One of his strongest memories of his own childhood was growing in the faith nurtured in him and his 13 siblings by his parents, said Msgr. Burger, a priest of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.
"Each morning, led by my dad, we participated in the celebration of Mass in that German-Irish community (in Kansas City, Kan.)," he said. "Every day began with the memory of what Jesus had done, and what he continues to do."
Noting that he is in his 48th year of priesthood, Msgr. Burger said he has celebrated Mass some 30,000 times.
"I reflect on the 30,000 privileges I have had to call down Jesus Christ on the altar under the appearances of bread and wine, to call down the Lord, Jesus Christ each day so that the world might be fed," he said.
It is not physical food that Jesus offers, but spiritual food, Msgr. Burger said.
"Isn't that what the Global Living Rosary is all about?" he said. "May this evening bring forth even greater acts of public devotion for the one who is the way, the truth and the life."
'It is going to be a day of miracles'
Sprinkling his remarks with "3 p.m., May 25" — the hour and the day of the Kauffman Stadium Global Living Rosary — Father Kelleher urged everyone in the congregation that night to commit to coming that day, to commit to bringing others, and begin immediately praying the rosary as families in homes.
"We know our nation is in trouble," Father Kelleher said. "Has our heavenly mother left us without an answer? No!"
As she did in Fatima when she entrusted her message to three children, Mary turns to ordinary people to do extraordinary things and change the world, the priest said.
"When thousands come to Kansas City, it is going to be a day of miracles," he said.
And as Mary did at Fatima, so will Jesus spread his message of love especially in the children who attend, Father Kelleher said.
"He wants to give children the gift of a friendship with him that will last a lifetime," he said. "When you commit to pray the rosary with your children, you are making a commitment to give your children the most powerful tool they will ever have."

An event scheduled for next week may be an item to cause people to reconsider that thought.
On Saturday, April 12, a benefit will be held to aid in funding the local Child Advocacy Center.
The event will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Cleveland Family YMCA, with an admission price of $5.
There will be food and music, and a dose of old-time press-the-flesh politics.
However, the candidates who attend will pay a price that will lend itself to assist children in need.
The center, which has only been in operation with a Cleveland site for a few years, is designed to aid children who have been victims of sexual and severe physical abuse, as well as their families.
Within the walls of the center, children are allowed a "comfort zone" where their stories can be documented and needed therapies to help with mind and body can be administered.
However, the center is a nonprofit organization and relies on moneys mainly from the United Way or voluntary donors.
One person had the idea to take the current election climate and have it rain for the good instead of plowing seeds of insults and accusations.
Josh Standifer is a graduate of Lee University and a supporter of 10th Judicial District attorney candidate Stephen Hatchett.
His idea was originally to hold a fundraiser for the candidate and give some of the proceeds to charity.
"Stephen thought things would be better as far as participation goes to move it away from the campaign and do it simply as a fundraiser with all the proceeds going to the CAC," Standifer said.
He said Hatchett felt it was "better to spend political capital for the CAC" of which Hatchett is a member of the board of directors.
"This month is Child Abuse Awareness Month and it seemed like the appropriate cause," Standifer said. "The center provides so much hope to children who find themselves in those situations. It is so important what they do there."
Those who decide to give their $5 at the door will not be immune from politics.
Candidates are being allowed to buy tables where they can meet voters and hand out campaign literature for tables that are costing from $100 to $300; however, all of the table fees will go to the CAC.
There are also several local food outlets that will be there to show off their culinary specialties.
Hatchett was reluctant to speak much about the event, fearing it might be perceived as a campaign stunt on his part.
"If I win, I win. If I lose, I can be a small-town attorney and be happy," he said. "But, at least I can look back at the end and say something good came out of the campaign."

But this season, I did something different. I accepted an invitation from the artist Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich to come to Moscow for the Biennale there. I figured, eh, I'm already in London and it's not that far, so why not? And I was glad I did.
The first night I was there was when I was due to meet up with Fyodor. He was at the Artists' Zoo, which was, literally, a zoo of artists in cages doing their own performance pieces. What was Fyodor doing? I found him in the basement, in his cage, completely naked with his head through a window and a nurse giving specific instructions to participants to put things (food, a whistle, etc) into his mouth. It was a project he had done with the Solyanke State Gallery, where Marina Abramovic is the patron. There was another artist singing traditional Russian songs while wearing nothing by a facemask made popular by Pussy Riot and standing on glass. Another artist turned a giant clock every minute, and did nothing else. They were each in their cages for four hours for seven days. Fyodor went another step and wore a lamb's mask the other 20 hours of the day, even to bed and in the shower, for the entire week.
The Biennale itself was held in a building that centuries ago held the horse shows. We had a VIP tour of the show, which meant that many of the works were not set up yet, and none of them had ID's on them. Which was mildly frustrating, but then we're in Russia, a country steeped in old world traditions that is only now embracing the contemporary art market.
Song Dong's large-scale piece of all the things his mother had hoarded in Communistic China was particularly powerful to me. And not just because I think my father is a hoarder. It brought to an artistic light the cultural disparities between the China I see today in luxury advertisements and the China before, which would keep broken terracotta plant holders and reupholster ribbed chairs with old jeans, because that's all they could find. I was also amused by Peter Belyi's work, which looked like a slide full of shit that was poring out of the Kremlin (insert all political commentaries here) and down the stairs. Alan Michelson did a video work of a merry go round, which made me smile. And I jotted down the name Aslan Gaisumov, a 22-year-old Chechyien artist that I think had some strong works and a promising future. But my favorite work was from the Iranian artist Farideh Lashai. It was called 'When I count there is only you but when I look there is only a shadow.' It was work that involved small postcards and a projected video that brought the work to light in small segments.
In the midst of all my art-ing, I did manage to find some time to get my tourism on. Without a doubt, the most memorable was sneaking backstage at the Bolshoi Ballet company, which only recently opened after a six year refurbishment to its pre-Soviet splendor, and watching the dancers warm up. They were like rubber people. I also roamed around Red Square to post some comically satirical comments on the anti-homophobic policies currently being passed in the Russian government on my Instagram account. (How can a country with such flamboyant buildings and male politicians who go topless and wear fur coats be so homophobic?) And we took a tour of the kremlin. Something that was truly memorable was the Soviet era propaganda statues in the Moscow metro. There were soldiers holding babies and milk maids holding guns – and everyone was gorgeous. It was like Bruce Weber had cast the statues in an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue.
Just to chime in here: I am not one to make political commentaries. Like Andy Warhol, who was an artist who chose to speak on things other than politics, I've never been one to shove my political views down the throats of others. I'm not Tilda Swinton, who actually did that recently, when she went to Red Square to wave a rainbow flag. Though, I will admit that I was at first hesitant about going to a country that was so close minded. But then, as Fyodor explained, to not come to a country where there are gay artists living and working, would be to deprive them of their own outlet. So I went. I am proud I did. Even if I think these policies are morally backward and a complete embarrassment.
I spent an afternoon in the Tretyakov Gallery's contemporary art space, which was filled with some Russian artists that I had never, ever heard of before. I find contemporary art to be a novel subject in Russia because, well, it's a new idea. For so long, art in Russia was only considered Old Masters. Maybe a Picasso. Certain experimental ideas never made it behind the Iron Curtain and only now are finding their niche in the market. More on this later, when I talk about my friend Dasha Zhukova and her Garage, Center for Contemporary Culture. Two pieces caught my eye at the Tretyakov Gallery: Marc Chagall's Over the Town (1918) and Kazimir Malevich's Black Square (1915). The latter was one of my favorites, and had apparently created a sensation in the Russian art world because of it's simple, minimalist aesthetic.
Now, on to Dasha, who you may remember from a certain profile I did of her in last year's Harper's Bazaar, appropriately called Queen of the Art Scene. I admire her and her Garage for helping foster a relationship between new Russia and the contemporary art market. This week, she opened a show for the American conceptual artist John Baldassari called 1 + 1 = 1. It was his commentary on the commentary of other masters. (You can read more about the exhibition on The Garage's website) But what I found more impressive than the show itself was the reception it received. The place was packed with young, eager, fabulous young people ready to soak up, well, art. The art world. The Garage's contemporary space is a Shigeru Ban-designed pavilion, which the at organization is using until their permanent space, which will be designed by Rem Koolhaus, is completed. They're located in Moscow's Gorky Park, which would be like someone in New York opening a new contemporary art space in Central Park. To say I'm impressed and excited for Dasha is an understatement.
On my last night in Moscow, I had dinner at a collector's house to see how excited Russian's cultural elite is about contemporary art. The house was fantastic: a Richter in the office, two early John Currin's in the bedroom, and so forth. And following dinner, Fyodor took us to the apartment of the performance artist German Vinogradov. It was not what I expected. It was in a rough part of town and up a filthy walkup tenement. He opened the door and the first thing I noticed were feral cats, and the second thing I noticed was an unpleasant stench. I asked the artist where he slept, and he told me where we were sitting. In the room there were tubes and metal plates and a chandelier made of a child's bicycle wheel. But it was one of those moments when you tell yourself to just embrace the unfamiliar. And I'm glad I did. (I also had to embrace the unsafe since one of the features of his 'noise performance' was the sound that lit blowtorches make when they're shoved into plastic tubes.) His performance was unconventional, but it was divine. He used water drops and firecrackers and he hit hollow tubes and knocked crystals against wind chimes. It was not what I had signed up for, but it made me feel happy. And, for me, that's what good art does.

Red piano is an interior design project designed by Ewelina Jankowska. The jazz club and restaurant is situated in the heart of Poznan, Poland, inside an old historic apartment house. A barrel vault cellar was connected with modern interior design to create one of the most exclusive clubs in Poland. At the centre, serving as inspiration, stands a solitary Red Piano.
Investors adopted neglected cellars ripping out plaster and old wooden panels. A modern drainage system was implemented to remove damp from the walls, the ceiling was teared off and beautiful barrel vault has been revealed.
Gloomy interiors were brightened up with hand-picked lighting frames, quilted walls and golden plush, pelted sofas create a relaxing atmosphere. The existing division of the space provoked a natural distribution of the jazz club and the restaurant.
The bar is constructed from copper with thick glass, illuminated by diodes matching those in all of the doors and gold-painted walls integrate the theme and illuminate the area. Additionaly in the club there are many mirrors - beautifully reflecting space and allow visitors for free view at the scene.

If you're a teenager, your generation will be the next world leaders, and your enthusiasm and energy will make a real difference in preserving Mother Earth. Now is the time to take on the responsibility that accompanies your environmental ideals. Environmentally friendly habits that begin in your teen years can become patterns that will last for a lifetime.
Host a "Green" Prom or Dance
Prom is a rite of passage for many teenagers, and it presents an opportunity to put together a memorable prom that emphasizes environmentally friendly ideas (see reference 1). Teens can host a green prom by offering discounts to those wearing previously owned dresses or those made from organic materials. Instead of purchasing new paper decorations, teens could use recycled materials or utilize found materials in their school to create decorations, such as cutting out cardboard flowers from cafeteria supply boxes. Teens could also use organic beauty products, from hair to skin to makeup for a more environmentally friendly look.
Changing Up School Supplies
From writing papers to taking notes, teens use a lot of paper and other school supplies in their daily school lives. This presents an opportunity to help Mother Earth by purchasing paper products made from recycled materials, and recycling used paper instead of throwing it away (see references 5 and 6). Using nontoxic printer inks and markers also can reduce a teen's environmental impact. Teens can take advantage of opportunities to go paperless in class by turning in papers electronically or receiving report cards and progress updates via email.
Start a Recycling Ambassador Program
Clubs and volunteer activities are ways for teens to develop leadership skills and expand their knowledge. Helping Mother Earth is no exception. By participating in a Recycling Ambassador Program, teens can implement and monitor a school-wide recycling program, lead educational sessions on what can and cannot be recycled (see reference 5 and 2). The Recycling Ambassadors also can participate in community outreach projects, such as organizing school and/or neighborhood trash pick-up days.
Use a License to Drive, Green-Style
The teenage years mark a time to hit the open road. But a vehicle can add harmful greenhouse gas emissions into the air. Teens can save Mother Earth by taking steps to keep driving at a minimum and reducing gasoline consumption whenever possible. From starting a school carpool to using a bicycle or public transportation whenever possible, teens can reduce their overall car emissions. Also, practicing proper car maintenance can help teens save Mother Earth. From maintaining a clean air filter to keeping tires inflated, teens can take these steps to reduce emissions.

Burglar hits three Route 313 homes in one day, police sayFebruary 23,2013ARLINGTON State police are investigating the alleged burglaries of three Route 313 homes in West Arlington which they believe happened between 10 a.m. Wednesday and 9 a.m. Thursday.
In a press release, Trooper Thomas Stange said the items taken from the homes were mostly jewelry and silver.
Police believe the burglaries, which took place within a section of about six miles on Route 313, were related.
Evidence at the scene indicates that whoever was responsible for the burglaries was on foot.
Anyone with information is asked to call Stange at the Vermont State Police barracks in Shaftsbury at 442-5421.

The only method of gardening I've done is container gardening; I use lg. plastic storage containers with holes drilled in the bottom. I have some 4' x 4' and 4' x 8' raised beds. The first question I have is how many gallons (I am assuming this would be by volume) would I need per 4' x 4' and 4' x 8' raised bed to fill them? My 2nd question is what type of soil to use in the raised beds. For container gardening I use a soilless mix that drains well, which is what is recommended for container gardening. I was told my 'soil' mix I used for container gardening (which uses coarse vermiculite, spaghnum peat moss, pine bark mulch, lime, and some pelleted fertilizer) would drain too fast for raised beds. Can anybody recommend a good soil mix for raised beds? Please don't say 'just use a decent soil mix and it's up to you what you want to use'. I know nothing about gardening in raised beds, so I don't know which type of soil mix to use. As such, I'd prefer to use a mix that people have used in raised beds before, that they've had success with. THis is a guideline I've found for what to use with a soil mix, an outline rather. Al Tapla (who posts frequently on soil mixes to use for container gardening on this site apparently) recommended it. THis is a condensed version of what he posted he recommends 70%-80% mineral components as the structural base - topsoil, sand, fine Turface ... and 20-30% other organic ingredients to make up the rest I would need the percentages converted to gallons based on how many gallons I would need to fill per 4' x 4' and 4' x 8' raised bed. Can somebody give examples as to what 'mineral components' and examples of what 'organic ingredients' are. I always use Osmocote (a pelleted fertilizer) for my container mix. Could I include that in the 20%-30% organic ingredients, as it seems that is mostly for providing the plants nutritional needs? For a 4' x 4' and 4'x 8' bed, if I can add osmocote, how much (in cups gallons etc.) could I add for a 4' x 4' bed and how much for a 4' x 8' bed? I am leary to add compost when I tried using compost to my soilless mix unfortunately the mix absorbed too much moisture. I don't mind adding compost to a raised bed mix, but I don't want to have the same problem. |

Do I understand correctly that these raised beds are in the ground, and not in the storage containers? If so, a lot might depend on what kind of soil the beds are built on top of, and its condition, and whether you intend to incorporate it or just plunk stuff on top of it. Also, volume would depend on a third dimension, height. Are they six inches high? Two feet? This would give a very different answer to your volume question. As far as your Osmocote question, that would depend on the nutrition available to plants in the present soil of the beds. What does the label say about using it outside in garden beds? |
- Posted by kawaiineko_gardener 5a (email@example.com) on Sat, Dec 29, 12 at 20:01
This was the info on the labels of the raised beds.... Here are the dimensions.... For a 4' x 4' it says.... 4' x 4' x 7" (I'm going to assume the 7" refers to the height/depth of the box) The 4' x 4' has 16 square feet of growing space. It requires 8 cubic feet of soil (per 4' x 4' box) Here is the info for the 4' x 8'.. For the 4' x 8' it says....4' x 8' x 10".5-7" (again I'm going to assume this is referring to the height/depth of the box) The 4' x 8' has 32 square feet of growing space and requires 22 cubic feet of soil (per 4 'x 8' box) Unfortunately cubic feet of soil tells me nothing of how many gallons I'd need to fill a 4' x 4' box and a 4' x 8' box, and I am horrible with math/conversions. I could really use help and clarification with this. |
The conversion tables show 6 gallons per cubic foot for a dry mix, and 7 gallons per cubic foot for a liquid. For the 22 cubic foot amount above, this equals about 141 gallons. For the 8 cubic feet example, you have 48 gallons. Also, 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet if you ever need to buy materials by the cubic yard, as is commonly done with variousb soil amendments. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cubic feet to gallons conversion
For as much soil as you will need, and I would suggest a good top soil, you should be looking for a bulk supply such as a landscape supply. I see no reason to pay the premium prices of having your soil bagged. The empty bags will just add to you waste disposal. Al |

The story in this post is quite old and happened to me in summer 2007. Since that year most probably all prices have changed so I will list any numbers but the points of interest I have managed to visit I'm sure are still there.
During the summer of 2007 I have managed to visit NYC 2 times; first one was 10 hour visit between connection flight to Atlanta and second on the way back, but then I spent a bit over a week staying for the night somewhere on the border of New York in New Jersey.
I have arrived to JFK International airport from Helsinki someday in the end of May at around 3 PM local time. Already on the plain I have decided to try and see New York before my next flight to Atlanta as I was not sure if I manage to see it on the way back in September.
First thing after getting my luggage and passing passport control (that took at least an hour due to all checks) was to find a storage room for my big bag. After that was done and paid (at that time it was 10 dollars, first and last time I mention prices of 2007) I called my parents to let them know I'm still on once piece. Next, after a short walk in the airport I found how to get to subway station where I got a train to New York City, Manhattan, and 42nd street – Times Square.
As it seems I took a wrong train as it took me around 40 minutes to get to the desired station. If I'm not mistaken I took blue line. When I arrived and found my way out of the subway I found myself staring up on all those tall building that end somewhere in the bottom of the sky. Weather was a bit rainy but very warm. I think that the feeling I got getting out of the tube and hitting NYC for the first time was similar to a feeling mouse has first time being placed in a maze. Great feeling!
It took me 2 hours to get to Manhattan from JFK (starting from the time plane landed). I think it is possible to do it faster if you do a small research on where lockers for bags are and which train to take from JFK to the city.
When I arrived to the 42nd street I went for a fast snack at the closest café. What I noticed and what is still in my memory is that in NY (as well as in Amsterdam by the way) they have a lot of very small places with basically 1-2 or no tables at all. Most cases people buy "to-go" or eat standing. I had a small pizza or something like that with a strong black coffee that kept me up for the rest of the evening.
After my fist NYC lunch I went walking on Times Square, glazing at all those famous billboards as Virgin Atlantic, Planet Hollywood and so on. There were many souvenir shops on the main street and prices there are very high for kind of low quality things. At that time they were still selling souvenir plates with the view of World Trade Center which was odd.
After Times Square I went towards Grand Central Station stopping by at an open air café for a drink and to buy cigarettes. It was around 7 PM, so 2 out of my 5 hours passed. I reached Grand Central after a short walk. First thing that came to my mind when I got inside the station was cartoon Madagascar and that stupid giraffe hitting central clock with its head.
Central station is a must see place no matter how much time you have in New York City!
After central station I had a bit more than an hour left before going back to JFK. I used this time just to walk the streets of NY. It was around 9PM or something when I was walking down the street. It was quite empty, only a few cars passing by, most of them were yellow taxi cars reflecting lights of the street. Street was long and I could see many streets crossing avenues, many blinking traffic lights and some amazing buildings of this amazing city.
I ended up in a dead end overlooking the bay. I sat on the bench for 15-20 minutes to give legs well deserved rest and went back up the street to find the closest subway map.
I got back to the airport at 10 30 or 11 PM, got my bag and went for a taxi to go to Le Guardia airport. There I slept for 2 hours on a very uncomfortable bench sometimes waking up to go outside to get some warm air.
In conclusion I must say that 5 hours in NYC is not enough for anything. A week in New York is not enough for anything, but if you have at least 5 hours of free time between your connection flight and whatever – go to New York and just walk streets of Manhattan, get some NY air in your lungs, see some famous buildings, visit Grand Central, get a coffee and ride a crowded train. This city is amazing and worth every minute of your time!

H&R Block Tax Professionals relentlessly focus on making sure you profit from every deduction and credit available.
If I already entered my mortgage interest as a deduction, do I need to re-enter it in the AMT adjustment section?
Maybe. Many of the deductions you can claim on a regular return you can't deduct for the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). So, you must add back these deductions to your income.
In the regular tax system, you can deduct almost all mortgage interest. However, for AMT, you can only deduct the part of the mortgage you use for your first or second home when you:
Otherwise, you'll need to add back deductions claimed for mortgage interest under AMT rules.

Hey everyone,
I have had this HP Pavillion DV6408nr since 2007. It runs Vista home premium. There is a bunch of stuff wrong with it (power cord semi-broken, input for power cord semi-broken, wireless card broken - little blue light doesnt come on when i turn the wireless on and I have no wireless signal.) but I have been able to get by until now.
I recently removed the original two 512mb of ram and replaced them with two 1 gb chips of ram. Everything was fine. My fiancee' bought me starcraft 2 for christmas and I tried to run it on my laptop. I had to update windows and such but it still wouldnt work because my video card is outdated (darn). Anyways, I turned off my laptop the other day and when I went to boot it up a few hours later the screen wont turn on.
When I turn on the laptop, the lights turn on and I hear a fan kick on and off and then the screen just stars dark. After about 10-15 seconds, all the keys turn off (as if the computer was off) for about a second and then turn back on. A fan will sometimes kick on for about 2 seconds but thats about it. The computer will repeat this wierd behavior a few more times until I am so frustrated I just hold the power button and it turns off. I have tried a few random procedures I read on the net (holding graphics card, or unplugging power and holding power button for 45 seconds etc.) but I have had no luck.
Can someone please help me!!!

This isnt going to do anything with my files on the hard drive will it? Because I was reading somewhere that pressing F5 or something like that during the bootup just resets everything and erases all of your information and puts the computer back like it is brand new.

This worked on mine thanks...i didn't have to press the power button.
Jun 6, 2013 02:41AM
i do these,but my screen is black and the capslock & end botton flashing,pleas help me
do any sounds or beeps come out of the computer? perhaps its a combination of these problems and the motherboard fried..HP's DV series mouth the graphics card on the motherboard, so the graphics card obviously gets hot, enevtually it cooks the motherboard..i had the same problem on my DV2000...try getting the components replaces, but this will be expensive...personally, i'd just get a new computer..good luck

Dec 30, 2010 10:11AM
No I dont hear any sounds or beeps. It just turns on and sometimes I will hear the fan go for a second or two. Thats about it though. Yeah I need to get a new computer anyways, I just have years worth of stuff on it that I need still

sorry, in my last post i meant MOUNT instead of MOUTH...what you could do in the case of getting a new computer is to remove the hard drive and connect it to your new computer. all your data should be there, so unless your hard drive is damaged, it should be recoverable..any luck with bionik's method? have you looked at the troubleshooting in your manual or contacted your computer dealer?
frustrated with HP-
Jan 1, 2011 03:21PM
I tried bionik's method but nothing happened. Yeah, I will most likely get a new computer and just take the hard drive out and transfer the data to the new computer. I havent contacted the computer dealer yet. I will have to do that soon. I will most likely just buy a new computer though instead of spending a few hundred bucks repairing an old laptop.
Thank you for all the help though

Alright, yeah that would be a better idea. But you should avoid HP's as they very often have booting errors such as yours at the motherboards cooling system is terrible. No trouble at all, and best of luck with transferring the data.

Delicate and elegant, this engagement ring features two pear-shaped sapphires set in elegant 18k white gold to complement your center diamond.
After reading other comments I expected the ring to be tiny, to my great relief it was not. This was the right ring. She is going to love it.
Robert, NORMAN, OK – December 2014
Diamond looks very good, but the band is thin and lightweight. I like being able to select the exact size, cut and quality of the diamond. Huge selection available. Would have preferred more choices in yellow gold bands.
Mitchel Joe, ELGIN, OK – November 2014
The diamond has very good quality and sparkles very nicely. The blue really makes the diamond come to life.
