For those who enjoy the outdoors and like feeling part of something bigger than themselves—bird watching may be just the activity.
The Montana Bird Conservation Partnership, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks and the Montana Audubon think so. They all offer web pages that make it easy for people of all backgrounds and levels of experience to get involved in bird watching and bird conservation.
Birders have an amazing information network that supports their activities and links them to each other and to state and national databases that record the public's bird sightings.
Birders also have a number of special events to look forward to soon. One, the annual Christmas Bird Count, will occur Dec. 14-Jan. 5. There is a $5 fee to participate and kids are free. Audubon reports that tens of thousands of birders throughout the Americas take part in the Christmas Bird Count—now in its 112th year. It has become a family tradition in many cases. Families and students, birders and scientists, armed with binoculars, bird guides and checklists go out to spot and then report on the bird species they observe.
The Montana Audubon website provides details on how to participate in the Christmas Bird Counts in Montana, including directions to the more than 30 individual events that occur. Experts use the data reported by birders in the Christmas Bird Count to identify how different bird species are faring from year to year and place to place. Participants go alone, or as part of a group, to national parks, nature centers, urban parks, nature trails and other places where they are likely to see a variety of birds.
The Great Backyard Bird Count, February 17-20, 2012, is another important annual birding event. It is hosted by Audubon, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and a Canadian partner, Bird Studies Canada. Last year, participants turned in more than 92,000 checklists of birds online, creating the continent's largest one-time snapshot of bird populations ever recorded.
The goal of the Great Backyard Bird Count is to get as many participants as possible engaged in this free event to watch and count birds for at least 15 minutes on any day of the count. Participants fill out an online checklist at the Great Backyard Bird Count website to report their observations and then watch as the tallies grow from across the continent. This four-day bird count typically records more than 10 million observations.
According to the birdsource.org website, hundreds of thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds participate in bird-watching projects. These "citizen scientists" are considered an essential element of bird conservation today.
For more on becoming a citizen scientist, visit the new Montana Bird Conservation Partnership's Citizen Science Monitoring website page. Opportunities include links to the Breeding Bird Survey and eBird, a real-time, online way for birders to submit a checklist of birds they have observed. The eBird site has morphed into a phenomenal resource for birders and bird conservation in part thanks to the magic of Internet communication.
The Breeding Bird Survey occurs annually during the avian breeding season, which is June for most of the U.S. and Canada. Participants skilled in bird identification record their sightings along preset survey routes. This cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey's Patuxent Wildlife Research Center and Environment Canada's Canadian Wildlife Service produces critical information that professionals use to estimate population trends and identify emerging conservation and other issues.
Whether you like to work alone or with others, focus on the details or enjoy the big picture, birding may be a pastime it is time to investigate. Even if you don't get out into the field or record your observations via one of the many electronic options—you are guaranteed a fascinating learning experience touring these and other websites dedicated to bird watching and bird conservation.

What is the Tetris® Game?
The Tetris® game is an electronic puzzle game that was created by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984, while working in the USSR as a computer programmer. Pajitnov often programmed games to test new equipment using simple tasks, and in his spare time, developed a computer game inspired by his favorite puzzle board game Pentominos. The objective of Pentominos was to fit 12 different geometric-shaped pieces formed out of five squares into a box. Pajitnov's vision was to create an electronic game where players arranged puzzle pieces in real time by having them "fall" faster and faster from the top of the screen. Pajitnov designed the game using seven distinctive playing pieces made from four squares. He called it Tetris, after "tetra," the Greek word for four, and tennis, his favorite sport. After giving the game to his colleagues, it became an instant, hugely addictive hit, and shortly thereafter spread like wildfire throughout the Soviet Bloc's computer literate. His subsequent friendship with BPS President and CEO Henk Rogers, brought the Tetris game out of the Soviet Union to become one of the most widely played electronic games of all time.30 Years of Tetris®

Imagine a day with the "Capturing the Friedmans" family, but instead of raping children, they're way into Star Wars!
Today's episode finds two brothers drooling over a Stormtrooper outfit they wheeled and dealed off of Ebay, created by what one of the brothers refers to as a "geek." Funny, eh? Then begins the trying on of this suit of armor from a galaxy, far, far away. It proves to be a huge pain in the ass to squeeze into this thing and soon the rest of the family joins in, trying to get one of the brothers into the goddamned suit. The words "Aren't you a little fat for a Stormtrooper?" come to mind.
Be it real or fake, this footage is pretty uncomfortable to watch, but that's a part of its charm. Star Wars geeks can be so tragically entertaining.

WCBN Free Night at the Movies presents BREAKING GLASS!!!
"This British rock musical tells a tale older than dirt -- the saga of the rise to fame of an eager young star, only to discover that fame is not all that it is cracked up to be."
Dear WCBN community,
Hi, I'm Karl, the general manager of CBN. Thanks for reading. Our annual fundraiser, where we receive the vast majority of our operating budget for the year, is Feb. 6-15th!
Lots of things are getting better at algorithmically figuring out our tastes for us, which is, I don't know, kinda cool I guess, but I think there is something invaluable about a resource that's messy, unpredictable, and unusually enjoyable.
We're all volunteers at CBN, and we do it because we are obsessed with music and authentic thought. Really obsessed. We exist for you; from our 30-year veterans you know and love to our wide-eyed new DJs who can't believe what 70,000 vinyl records look like on shelves.
Please dig deep to keep us running. We cannot exist without your support. Our sights are set high this year: $50,000. We have to make it happen, and we are counting on you! This is about 10% higher than last year - so give 20% more! There are extremely easy ways to donate, but I want to suggest calling us. Online is easy and great, but WCBN is about connections deeper than a passive listening experience, and we want to hear what you like! (and don't like). Plus we can advise you on the coolest T-shirts and stuff.
Thank you for any and all generosity you can show us during fundraiser. From a personal standpoint, WCBN is one of the most important things in my life, and I invite you to join me in making a proud decision to donate to a crucial community institution.
Thank you!
- Karl

One of the main singles from angel's Reservation gets the visual treatment.
PREVIOUS: angel haze – Sh*t I Don't Like (Video)
Posted in Video | Tags: angel haze
soo heard her on the cypher.. officially take her more serious.
I wanna fuck her..... *Shrugs*
i thought the cypher was wack but this isn't bad
No tits... no ass... face, meh... so I can't really mute this...
When she appeared on the BET cypher, it said she was from Detroit. I never heard of her until last night!
All females sound the same, beat choices are always whack too
does anyone else think her name sounds like the name a porn star would have?
sorry to say it but the girl needs a boob job asap... cant have a concave chest in this game
Wow...these comments are the epitome of female degradation in hiphop. Every track I've heard from her thus far has been on point (bars and melody - peep her covers of Drake songs). She destroyed everyone in the BET cypher and yet we still reduce her to body parts....Shes KILLING all of your favourite rappers lyrically and she can hold a note! I'm real excited for Angel Haze - definitely my favourite rapper at the moment. I just hope the rest of the hiphop community can see past her physical attributes and recognize the raw fucking talent she has to offer.

The Animals were a British band of the 1960s, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during the early part of the decade. The band moved to London upon finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No.1 hit single, "The House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get out of This Place", "It's My Life", "I'm Crying" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. They were known in the US as part of the British Invasion.
The Animals underwent numerous personnel changes in the mid-1960s and suffered from poor business management. Under the name Eric Burdon and the Animals, the much-changed act moved to California and achieved commercial success as a psychedelic and hard rock band with hits like "San Franciscan Nights", "When I Was Young" and "Sky Pilot", before disbanding at the end of the decade. Altogether, the group had ten Top Twenty hits in both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100.
The original lineup had brief comebacks in 1975 and 1983. There have been several partial regroupings of the original era members since then under various names. The Animals were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
Formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during 1962 and 1963, when Burdon joined the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, the original line-up was Eric Burdon (vocals), Alan Price (organ and keyboards), Hilton Valentine (guitar), John Steel (drums), and Bryan "Chas" Chandler (bass).[1][2]
It has often been said they were dubbed "animals" because of their wild stage act, and the name stuck.[3] In a 2013 interview, Eric Burdon denied this, stating it came from a gang of friends they used to hang out with, one of whom was "Animal" Hogg and the name was intended as a kind of tribute to him.[4] The Animals' success in their hometown and a connection with Yardbirds manager Giorgio Gomelsky motivated them to move to London in 1964 in the immediate wake of Beatlemania and the beat boom take-over of the popular music scene, just in time to play an important role in the so-called British Invasion of the US music charts.
The Animals performed fiery versions of the staple rhythm and blues repertoire, covering songs by Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Nina Simone, and others. Signed to EMI's Columbia label, a rocking version of the standard "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" (retitled "Baby Let Me Take You Home") was their first single.[5]
It was followed in June 1964 by the transatlantic number 1 hit "House of the Rising Sun". Burdon's howling vocals and the dramatic arrangement, featuring Alan Price's haunting organ riffs, created arguably the first folk rock hit.[6][7] There is ongoing debate regarding the Animals' inspiration for their arrangement of the song, which has variously been ascribed to prior versions by Bob Dylan, folk singer Dave Van Ronk, blues singer Josh White (who recorded it twice in 1944 and 1949), and singer/pianist Nina Simone (who recorded it in 1962 on Nina at the Village Gate).
The Animals' two-year chart career, produced by Mickie Most, featured intense, gritty pop music covers such as Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me" and the Nina Simone-popularised number "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". In contrast, their album tracks stayed with rhythm and blues, with John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" and Ray Charles' "I Believe to My Soul" as notable examples.
In November 1964, the group was poised to make their American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show and begin a short residency performing regularly in theatres across New York City. The group arrived in New York City direct from John F. Kennedy International Airport in a motorcade formed of Sunbeam Alpine Series IV convertibles, with each car featuring a band member riding with a fashion model in the back seat and the rooftop down. The group drove to their hotel accompanied by the occasional shrieks of girls who had chased them down once they discovered who they were. The Animals sang "I'm Crying" and "The House of the Rising Sun" to a packed audience of hysterical girls screaming throughout both performances on Sullivan's show. In December, the MGM movie Get Yourself a College Girl was released with the Animals headlining with the Dave Clark Five. The Animals sang a Chuck Berry song, "Around and Around", in the movie.[8]
By May 1965, the group was starting to feel internal pressures. Price left due to personal and musical differences as well as fear of flying on tour.[3] He went on to a successful career as a solo artist and with The Alan Price Set. Mick Gallagher filled in for him on keyboards for a short time until Dave Rowberry replaced him and was on hand for the hit songs "We Gotta Get out of This Place" and "It's My Life".
Around that time, the Animals put together a big band to play at the 5th Annual British Jazz & Blues Festival in Richmond. The Animals Big Band made their one public appearance on 5 August 1965. As well as Burdon, Rowberry, Valentine, Chandler, and Steel, they featured a brass/horn section of Ian Carr, Kenny Wheeler, and Greg Brown on trumpets, and Stan Robinson, Al Gay, Dick Morrissey, and Paul Carroll on saxophones.
Many of the Animals' hits had come from Brill Building songwriters recruited by Mickie Most; the group, and Burdon in particular, felt this too creatively restrictive. As 1965 ended, the group ended its association with Most, signed a new deal with their American label MGM Records for the US and Canada, and switched to Decca Records for the rest of the world and MGM Records producer Tom Wilson, who gave them more artistic freedom.[9] In early 1966 MGM collected their hits on The Best of the Animals; it became their best-selling album in the US. In February 1966, Steel left and was replaced by Barry Jenkins. A leftover rendition of Goffin-King's "Don't Bring Me Down" was the last hit as the Animals. For the single "See See Rider" the band changed its name to Eric Burdon & the Animals. By September 1966, this lineup of the group had dissipated.
Burdon began work on a solo album, called Eric Is Here, which also featured Burdon's UK number 14 solo hit single, "Help Me, Girl", which he heavily promoted on TV shows such as Ready Steady Go! and Top of the Pops in late 1966. Eric Is Here was Burdon's final release for Decca Records.
By this time their business affairs "were in a total shambles" according to Chandler (who went on to manage Jimi Hendrix & produce Slade) and the group disbanded. Even by the standards of the day, when artists tended to be financially naïve, the Animals made very little money, eventually claiming mismanagement and theft on the part of their manager Michael Jeffery.
A group with Burdon, Jenkins, and new sidemen John Weider (guitar/violin/bass), Vic Briggs (guitar/piano), and Danny McCulloch (bass) were formed under the name Eric Burdon and Animals (or sometimes Eric Burdon and the New Animals) in December 1966 and changed direction. The hard driving blues was transformed into Burdon's version of psychedelia as the former heavy drinking Geordie (who later said he could never get used to Newcastle "where the rain comes at you sideways") relocated to California and became a spokesman for the Love Generation.
Some of this group's hits included "San Franciscan Nights", "Monterey" (a tribute to the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival), and "Sky Pilot". Their sound was much heavier than the original group. Burdon screamed more and louder on live versions of "Paint It Black" and "Hey Gyp". In 1968, they had a more experimental sound on songs like "We Love You Lil" and the 19-minute record "New York 1963 - America 1968". The songs had a style of being silent at the beginning and then becoming psychedelic and raw straight to the end with screaming, strange lyrics and "scrubbing" instruments.
There were further changes to this lineup: Zoot Money was added in April 1968, initially as organist/pianist only, but upon McCulloch's departure he also took on bass and occasional lead vocals. In July 1968, Andy Summers replaced Briggs. Both Money and Summers were formerly of British psychedelic outfit Dantalian's Chariot, and much of this new lineup's set was composed of Dantalian's Chariot songs which caught Burdon's interest.[10] Due to Money's multi-instrumental load, in live settings bass was played alternately by Weider and Summers.[11]
By December 1968, these Animals had dissolved, and both their double album Love Is and the singles "Ring of Fire" and "River Deep – Mountain High" were internationally released. Numerous reasons have been cited for the breakup, the most famous being an aborted Japanese tour. The tour had been scheduled for September 1968 but was delayed until November, due to difficulty obtaining visas.[11] Only a few dates into the tour, the promoters - who, unbeknownst to the band, were yakuza - kidnapped the band's manager and threatened him at gunpoint to write an IOU for $25,000 to cover losses incurred by the tour's delay.[11] The manager wrote out the IOU but, correctly surmising that none of his captors could read English, added a note that it was written under duress.[12] The yakuza released him but warned that he and the band would have to leave Japan the next day or be killed. The Animals promptly fled the country, leaving all their tour equipment behind.[11] Money and Summers both subsequently pursued solo careers (though this pursuit was swiftly aborted in Summers' case), Weider signed up with Family, and Burdon joined forces with a Latin group from Long Beach, California, called War.[citation needed]

The original Animals line-up of Burdon, Price, Valentine, Chandler, and Steel reunited for a benefit concert in Newcastle in December 1968 and reformed in late 1975 to record again. Burdon later said nobody understood why they did this short reunion. They did a mini-tour in 1976 and shot a few videos of their new songs like "Lonely Avenue" and "Please Send Me Someone to Love". They released the album in 1977 aptly called Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted.[13] The album received critical praise and Burdon and Valentine also recorded some demos at that time, which were never released.
On 12 December 1982, Burdon performed together with Alan Price and a complete line-up. They reunited again in 1983 for the album Ark and a world concert tour, supplemented by Zoot Money on keyboards, Nippy Noya on percussion, Steve Gregory on saxophone and Steve Grant on guitar. The first single "The Night" reached No. 48 at the US Pop Singles and No. 34 at the Mainstream Rock Charts. It was also a big hit in Greece. They released a second single called "Love Is For All Time".
Their tour consisted of about one-third material from the original 1960s and two-thirds material from Ark or other songs. The latter included songs like "Heart Attack", "No More Elmore" (both released a year earlier by Burdon), "Oh Lucky Man" (from the 1973 soundtrack album to O Lucky Man! by Price), "It's Too Late", "Tango", and "Young Girls" (later released on Burdon's compilation, The Night). On 9 September, they had their first gig in New York with a sold-out audience at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. A Wembley Stadium concert followed on 31 December which was released on the Rip it To Shreds live album in 1984 after they had disbanded again. Their concert at the Royal Oak Theatre in Royal Oak, Michigan on 29 November 1983 was released on 27 February 2008, as Last Live Show. A film about the reunion tour was shot but never released. Chas Chandler died in 1996, putting an end to any possibility of another reunion of the full original line-up.[14]
During the 1990s and 2000s there have been several groups calling themselves Animals in part:
In 2008, an adjudicator determined that original Animals drummer John Steel owned "the Animals" name in England, by virtue of a trademark registration Steel had made in relation to the name. Eric Burdon had objected to the trademark registration, arguing that Burdon personally embodied any goodwill associated with "the Animals" name. Burdon's argument was rejected, in part based on the fact that he had billed himself as "Eric Burdon and the Animals" as early as 1967, thus separating the goodwill associated with his own name from that of the band.[15][16] On 9 September 2013 Burdon's appeal was allowed; he is now entitled to use the name "the Animals".[17]
The original Animals were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.[1] In 2003, the band's version of "The House of the Rising Sun" ranked No. 123 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. Their 1965 hit single "We Gotta Get out of This Place" was ranked No. 233 on the same list. Both songs are included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.[18]
On 15 March 2012, in a keynote speech to an audience at the South by Southwest music festival, Bruce Springsteen discussed the Animals' influence on his music at length, stating, "To me, the Animals were a revelation. They were the first records with full-blown class consciousness that I'd ever heard." He said of "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" (written by two New York songwriters, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil): "That's every song I've ever written... That's 'Born to Run,' 'Born in the U.S.A.,' everything I've done for the past 40 years including all the new ones. That struck me so deep. It was the first time I felt I heard something come across the radio that mirrored my home life, my childhood." Saying that his album Darkness on the Edge of Town was "filled with Animals," Springsteen played the opening riffs to "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and his own "Badlands" back to back, then said, "Listen up, youngsters! This is how successful theft is accomplished!"[19]
Tony Banks, the keyboard player of British progressive rock band Genesis drew influence from Alan Price, whom he regarded as "[t]he first person who made me aware of the organ in a rock context".[20]

I searched (honest, would I lie ) and can't find any help. One of my kegs has the rubber loose on one side at the top. What's the best way to glue this back on so that I can lift 5G of beer without it coming loose?
Amazing GOOP. Clean the rubber & keg real good. Wipe everything off with lacquer thinner or rubbing alcohol and use a popsicle stick to work the GOOP in. Place it on it's top and put some weight on it. For the sides use a rope wrapped around it and a ~2' 2x2 or something to twist the rope up like a tourniquet so the rubber is tight to the keg. Wipe off the excess GOOP & let it sit for a week.
If Homebrew & BBQ aren't the answer, then you're askin' the wrong questions... Cheers!!!
Any two part epoxy from Hdwe store or JB Weld will work.
I've repaired two loose rubber handles with polyurethane construction adhesive. It's inexpensive ($4), widely available, waterproof, and does not let go once bonded.
Thanks for the tips guys. Hardware store on the way home tonight.
Update: 2 part epoxy did the trick. Thanks again guys!

"Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail…" – Yep, that Easter bunny will be on his way before you know it. We do a huge Easter Egg Hunt party the Saturday before Easter, and have a ton of conference travel in April, so I just realized that it was sneaking up on me! So, as I went looking for super cute goodies to add to Abby's Easter Basket today, I wanted to share a few of my favorite finds with you ladies too….

Easter Basket Ideas for Little Girls
Easter Fun: Dipped Baby Chick Cookies
Easter Fun – Treat Recipe
Ok – We didn't make these ones. This is a fun photo from the Free-n-Fun Easter ideas section on Oriental Trading Company. Super cute, right? They looked like they'd be pretty simple – and since I have pretty wild helpers in the kitchen, {my nephews are 8 and 5, and Abby is 20 months. The combination leads to a lot of kitchen craziness!} – I need things that are simple. And, they mostly were, but ours weren't quite as successful as these ones. But that's the usual result around here – I'm much more enthusiastic in the kitchen than I am skilled, lol.
Making Easter Baby Chick Cookies
While our version isn't quite as adorable as the original, they were still a ton of fun – and came out pretty cute. The kids LOVED them!! We did this as a trial run, and will be making more for our big Easter Egg Hunt party on Saturday. For the body of the chick, you can use any type of sandwich cookie – But since the kids at my house LOVE the Newman-O's, we used those.
The Newman-O's are a way healthier version of the traditional sandwich cookie, which is great for me – I'm on the Nutrisystem diet, but am going to splurge on a couple of Easter treats this weekend. {I'm so super-duper busy, hopefully I'll burn off the extra calories quick, lol} – They even have a Wheat-Free, Dairy-Free cookie, for kiddo's with food allergies. That's a huge bonus when we're having a ton of kids over!
Dipped Chick Cookie Recipe
The ingredients are simple, and you can make easy substitutions if needed. The process is pretty easy too – and they're still pretty fun even when they don't come out perfect! {Hint: Get some great spring candy and baking coupons right now, printable from Coupons.com – they have a lot of great ones through the weekend!}
- Cream-Filled Sandwich Cookies
- Pretzel Sticks, broken in half
- Mini Chocolate Chips
- Orange Conversation Heart Candies - or icing
- White Chocolate Candy Melts or Almond Bark
- Yellow Gel Food Coloring
- Melt your candy melts or almond bark according to the package directions. {Add a bit of Crisco, if you have some, to make the dipping easier!} Stir in a couple drops of the yellow food coloring, until it's the color you want it.
- Dip each cookie into the melted chocolate, then place them on a big piece of wax paper.
- Add the mini chocolate chip eyes, and the pretzel legs. Also add the candy hearts if you have them - if not, wait until they cool and add frosting instead, like we did.
- Display, enjoy, then eat!

Easter Basket Ideas + Win Busytown Playsets too!
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." – Pablo Picasso
Playtime is incredibly important for kids. Great toys can help kids in so many ways… They learn to use and stretch their imagination in new ways. They learn to share and cooperate. They learn problem-solving, as they figure out how things work. And they even get some exercise – I mean, heck, even just crawling around to drive a car around a track is much more active than playing another video game, right?
"Easter, so longed for, is gone in a day." – James Howell
Easter is one of my very favorite holidays, because our celebrations include so many of my favorite things – Play, Joy, Sunshine, Spring, Family, Treats, Flowers… It's just such a pretty holiday. And I absolutely LOVE making Easter baskets for all of the kids! This year, instead of candy, I'm going to fill the baskets mostly with some of my favorite toys for creative play – The Busytown sets! {You might remember me talking about them before, when we got our first Busytown playsets.} So, to help your family celebrate this season, I thought I'd share these adorable little sets that are a perfect idea for Easter baskets – AND give a couple of you a chance to win some too! A few of these great sets, along with a book like Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy Town or a Richard Scarry Matching Game would combine to make a perfect playtime gift basket for your favorite kiddo this Easter!
Richard Scarry's Busytown Toys – Great Easter Basket stuffers!
"Welcome to Richard Scarry's Busytown! It's the liveliest, funniest, busiest town around! Based on Richard Scarry's classic books enjoyed by generations of families, children would love to be surprised by an Easter basket filled with a Richard Scarry's Busytown vehicle pack, figure pack or mini plush. These vehicle and figure packs are compatible with most wooden railway track play systems. A comprehensive Richard Scarry's Busytown play system is available, too, so kids can collect them all or build a Busytown all their own! These toys are available at Toys"R"Us stores nationwide or online at ToysRUs.com."
"It is a happy talent to know how to play" – Ralph Waldo Emerson
We have almost all of the Busytown sets now, and most of the smaller additional character sets too. I seriously love them. These were my favorite books when I was a little girl… I was always so intrigued with them. There were so many details on each page, and just like the title suggests, the characters were all so busy – driving and playing and walking and working… It's so much fun to set these up with Abby and the boys, and relive those great memories. The sets are all really well made, and while they're suggested for ages 3+, they've stood up wonderfully to the mayhem of a 19 month old just perfectly.
Enter to WIN a Busy Town Easter Basket of Goodies!
One lucky winner will take home an Easter Basket filled with a surprise selection of 3 products from Richard Scarry's Busytown:
One Busytown Small Vehicle Pack, one Busytown 2-pack Figure Pack, and one super adorable Busytown Mini Plush!

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Lose the Gloom and Doom
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Washington frightfest is almost over, according to Jim Cramer.
He told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday it will be time soon to enjoy the fact that politics no longer matter to the markets.
The markets have overcome two of three big hurdles: the presidential election and the fiscal cliff. That leaves only the looming debt ceiling debate, and this last obstacle is actually the least worrisome, Cramer said.
The thing the markets feared most the last time the debt ceiling reared its ugly head was a U.S. debt downgrade, said Cramer, and that's exactly what it it got a little over a year ago. Except that when the downgrade happened, the world didn't end as predicted. Cramer said this time around won't be any different. The media has a tendency to over-hype these events, which is why new regulations haven't crippled the banks and why another debt downgrade won't cripple the economy. When push comes to shove, there has to be a debt ceiling deal because no politician gets re-elected if the government shuts down and Social Security checks don't go out on time, Cramer explained. In the meantime, even if we have to call ourselves the United States of Three-Ring Circuses, once the deal is done and certainty returns to the markets there will be a flood of new money rushing in. That's why investors need to ignore the doom and gloom reporting and the wave of analyst downgrades, said Cramer, because the time to invest is before that money flows in, not afterwards.Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Michael Sutherlin, president and CEO of Joy Global (JOY - Get Report), the mining equipment maker that forecast a turn in the Chinese economy back on Sept. 13 when Cramer last spoke with Sutherlin. Sutherlin said his company continues to see improvement in China and is seeing a pickup in demand for everything from electricity to steel production to truck volumes to exports. He said there's also a restocking story occurring in China, as power plants have reduced their inventory for coal from 31 days to just 18, while steelmakers have dropped their supplies from 18 days to just 12. As demand picks up, said Sutherlin, those levels will need to be replenished, something that will most likely occur in the second half of 2013.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Longview News Journal — Two Carrollton residents were arrested Thursday and taken to the Gregg County Jail after Department of Public Safety troopers accused them of stealing a Lewisville Police Department car.
James J. Sneed, 31, and Danielle Latrice Thomas, 25, were arrested about 12:30 p.m. by DPS troopers on Interstate 20 near the intersection with Texas 31.
Sneed and Thomas were pulled over for driving in the left lane while not passing and for speeding, the probable cause affidavit for their arrests said.
The trooper was able to smell marijuana coming from the vehicle and noticed the vehicle was stolen, according to the report.

The American Welfare State Leaves Misery in Its Wake

The modern American welfare state is a kleptocracy in which everyone is stealing from everyone else under the color of law using the income tax and IRS as the bagman.

Today's Politicians In Need Of Adult Supervision
Mar 19, 2014 02:21 PM
Former Reagan Ambassador to the Soviet Union says, "I don't believe that we are witnessing a renewal of the Cold War. The tensions between Russia and the West are based more on misunderstandings, misrepresentations and posturing for domestic audiences than on any real clash of ideologies or national interests. And the issues are far fewer and much less dangerous than those we dealt with during the Cold War."

Inside Washington's War on Seniors
Feb 11, 2014 12:39 PM
Something strange is happening in Washington. We are slowly dismantling the federal government, even as its spending is growing larger. The paradox is that governmental competence is being systematically degraded while the government's size, as measured by its budget, is increasing. We are spending more and getting less, and — unless present trends are reversed — this will continue for years. It threatens the end of government as we know it.

The wolves of Washington
Jan 15, 2014 12:16 PM
Are business people more corrupt than those in government? Hollywood loves to portray those in business as the baddies and those in government as the good guys. Exhibit A is the new movie, "The Wolf of Wall Street," the largely true story of con man Jordan Belfort.

Reagan's Farewell Address at 25
Jan 13, 2014 03:35 PM
It was sobering to have a student come up to me after class recently and ask, "So, when was Reagan elected president again?" As firsthand memory of Reagan recedes further into the rearview mirror and a new generation with no direct memory of him reaches adulthood, Reagan's shadow continues to lengthen, especially for conservatives and his would-be Republican successors on the presidential stage.

Life in the Electronic Concentration Camp: The Many Ways That You're Being Tracked, Catalogued and Controlled
Jan 07, 2014 10:15 AM
What is most striking about the American police state is not the mega-corporations running amok in the halls of Congress, the militarized police crashing through doors and shooting unarmed citizens, or the invasive surveillance regime which has come to dominate every aspect of our lives. No, what has been most disconcerting about the emergence of the American police state is the extent to which the citizenry appears content to passively wait for someone else to solve our nation's many problems. Unless Americans are prepared to engage in militant nonviolent resistance in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi, true reform, if any, will be a long time coming.

2014 Will Bring More Social Collapse — Paul Craig Roberts
Jan 03, 2014 09:20 AM
2014 is upon us. For a person who graduated from Georgia Tech in 1961, a year in which the class ring showed the same date right side up or upside down, the 21st century was a science fiction concept associated with Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film, "2001: A Space Odyssey." To us George Orwell's 1984 seemed so far in the future we would never get there. Now it is 30 years in the past.

John Whitehead: Who's to Blame for Battlefield America? Is It Militarized Police or the Militarized Culture?
Nov 12, 2013 12:23 PM
It's hard to pinpoint what exactly is responsible for the growing spate of police shootings, brutality and overreach that have come to dominate the news lately, whether it's due to militarized police, the growing presence of military veterans in law enforcement, the fact that we are a society predisposed to warfare, indoctrinated through video games, reality TV shows, violent action movies and a series of endless wars that have, for younger generations, become life as they know it—or all of the above.

Jon Rappoport: The rise of the Psychiatric State under Obamacare
Nov 11, 2013 02:21 PM
Come down the road of history and watch the vast parade. There were the cave people, with their fear of the thunder and lightning and the forces behind them; there were the priesthoods rattling gourds and pointing scepters; there were the supposed witches, and the alchemists, and the prophets who, we're to believe, deeded their highest ideas to bureaucrats and killers who would build churches in their name…

American Apocalypse
Oct 21, 2013 10:53 AM
Author Justin Raimondo says he doesn't believe in God but he believes in divine retribution. Without going into the specifics of this somewhat counterintuitive theology, suffice to say here that its central axiom is the idea that actions have consequences. One cannot go on committing evil without reaping a whirlwind or two. Eventually Nemesis overtakes Hubris, and the results aren't pretty.

Early Stages of Hyperinflation Next Year-John Williams
Oct 17, 2013 12:37 PM
(VIDEO) Economist John Williams says the U.S. budget and debt ceiling circus is not the real problem. Williams contends, "The issue here, very simply, is the long term solvency of the United States of America. . . This gap based deficit is going to kill us . . . We are going to be in very serious trouble in this next year, and the global markets know this is happening."

David Stockman Explains The Keynesian State-Wreck Ahead - Sundown In America
Oct 08, 2013 09:57 AM
The median U.S. household income in 2012 was $51,000, but that's nothing to crow about. That same figure was first reached way back in 1989--- meaning that the living standard of Main Street America has gone nowhere for the last quarter century. Since there was no prior span in U.S. history when real household incomes remained dead-in-the-water for 25 years, it cannot be gainsaid that the great American prosperity machine has stalled out.

I grow up. I get older. I take on more responsibilities, but I stay in the same place. I get to a place where I can almost feel stable, and dare I say it, happy. But no, I don't stay there. I don't reach that level. I fall backwards. And I hit that same spot over and over again, making a deeper impression each time. Sinking deeper and deeper into everything. Drowning in it. Yet I always cover that up and hide it. I want to be everything for everyone.
I know what part of it is. My mother has instilled in me this need to be "the good child". You know, the one who doesn't do the wrong things, does work around the house, takes care of everyone first. And that's what I have been. Of course, my sister doesn't make that such a hard thing to acheive. I don't know what it is. There's something inside of me that I can't ignore telling me to take in everyone's well being before my own. And now I am stuck in this neverending cycle.
When your world crashes down and lays at your feet in pieces, what do you do? Do you pick up the pieces and put them together again? Do you start from the beginning and build a new world?
*sighs* As always, thank you Oasis. Have a great day everyone.
Both my parents are the same way. I'm a daddy's girl so I always pretty much listen to my dad and also my mom. Two of my sisters were very rebellious my age and now my 3rd oldest sis is away off to college. I'm here a junior who takes care of every1 pretty much. I do the chores and watch over my sisters since I'm the oldest now at home. Sometimes I don't know what to do but if u have some1 (even a friend) it HELPS, before friends weren't real important to me because well there's a reason... so if it were me I would just pick up the pieces instead of starting all over again from the start. Mistakes u learn from them, well hopefully

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound - Unknown
The problem is Empty People, Not Loaded Guns - Linda Schrock Taylor
I didn't think that they would cook the books this blatantly, but the FBI site's table for arrests by race only breaks it down to five categories:
Known offender's race White Black American Indian/
Alaskan NativeAsian/
Note that Hispanic isn't listed. However, in the Hate Crimes stats, which uses the same categories for offenders, the victim/incident categories are:
Single-Bias Incidents Race: Anti-White Anti-Black Anti-American Indian/Alaskan Native Anti-Asian/Pacific Islander Anti-Multiple Races, Group Religion: Anti-Jewish Anti-Catholic Anti-Protestant Anti-Islamic Anti-Other Religion Anti-Multiple Religions, Group Anti-Atheism/Agnosticism/etc. Sexual Orientation: Anti-Male Homosexual Anti-Female Homosexual Anti-Homosexual Anti-Heterosexual Anti-Bisexual Ethnicity/National Origin: Anti-Hispanic Anti-Other Ethnicity/National Origin Disability: Anti-Physical Anti-Mental
So, crimes committed by Hispanics are not listed, but crimes committed against Hispanics are, so your example of a Hispanic man assaulting his equally Hispanic wife would show a white assailant and possibly Hispanic victim, if they decided to characterize it as a hate crime.--Odysseus

12-28-2012, 06:08 PMMichael Moore doesn't have an original idea anywhere in his ample supply of girth. He simply parrots and repackages the catechism of shallow lefty talking points that have been around since Robert Byrd stopped taking his white sheets to the cleaners. Day by day he's morphing more and more into the spitting image of the father character on "Family Guy". Pretty soon he's going to be demanding royalties and I don't think there is a court that would deny his case.
I would like to make bio-diesel out of Mr.Moore.
The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

12-30-2012, 08:26 PMI learned in Sociology class years ago that murder is usually a crime of passion, meaning they have a relationship of some sort. These random serial killings is not the norm.
With us being the voluntarily segregated country that we are, I think it makes sense that people who get murdered are usually murdered by their own race.
I figure it like this. If whites are that racist and that dangerous, then black people need a gun. Therefore, the racism argument falls mute.In memory of Ahmed Merabet, Rafael Ramos, and Wenjian Liu.

Current Time
Mexico nightlife
Mexico is the land of the never-ending fiesta, and just about any occasion is cause for major celebration. Birthdays begin at midnight with mariachi serenades and firecrackers; nightlong wedding receptions end the next day in a hearty breakfast. As a result, Mexico's nightlife is a spirited and raucous affair, regardless of location. However, Acapulco is the queen of the nightlife scene with glitzy clubs like Palladium flashing fireworks over the bay. The clubs tend to be packed from 11 pm till dawn, and VIP passes, bottle service, and Champagne are de rigueur. In Mexico City, you'll find a hip techno vibe at places like Area, atop the Hotel Habita, and in many small bars in Coyoacán and La Roma. Cancún is headquarters for the Girls Gone Wild scene, with clubs as big as bullrings and appearances by famous DJs and bands. However, Cancún also has more grown-up nightlife options like jazz venues, salsa clubs, and cocktail bars.
