President Barack Obama's 5th State of the Union address Tuesday night was many things to many people, from a declaration of independence from Congressional gridlock to proof he's abandoned the Constitution.
But for many, especially partisan candidates who are running this fall to either retain or acquire a seat in Washington, it was the starting pistol for the 2014 midterm elections.
Democrats hope to hold on to the Senate, but accepted conventional wisdom nine months away from elections in November suggest Republicans can retake the upper chamber, where winning six seats net returns them to the majority.
In the House, where Republican dominance has declined from its apogee in 2011, when Republicans shellacked Democrats following a summer of unrest over the Affordable Care Act propelled by Tea Party inspired anger, the accepted wisdom is that Republicans may lose seats but not the 17 net seats Democrats need to return Ohio Congressman and House Speaker John Boehner to the minority.
Among seats Democrats think they finally have a chance to win this year is Ohio's 14th Congressional District. Won in 2012 by Dave Joyce, a Republican, Democrats are fielding Michael Wager, an accomplished fundraiser and former Chairman of the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority.
Two years ago, Congressman Joyce, a Clevelander who turns 57 in March, beat his Democratic challenger David Blanchard by 54-39 percent or about 52,000 voters district wide.
This year, Wager hopes to tie Joyce and his Congressional record to the Tea Party, its agenda and candidates, which reliable polling from Gallup and others show have declined from low levels to even lower levels among American voters.
The clash of contrasts in their responses to the SOTU Tuesday, delivered as always before a joint session of Congress in the U.S. House of Representatives, draw distinctions each candidate and their seconds will hope to capitalize on or shield from view, depending on the twists and turns that are sure to play a big role in the 2014 midterm elections, a cycle where history shows the party of the incumbent president doesn't fare as well as in presidential election years when more voters turn out.
"Last night we heard the President's State of the Union address and his compelling plan for real progress in America," Wager wrote. "His vision for the next year is one of growth and lasting solutions to our most fixable problems."
Wager said he shared the president's vision for prosperity through job creation and pragmatic initiatives to sustain growth. "By working to help people, and not political careers, there is no limit to what we can achieve," he said.
Themes and issues raised by in the SOTU, including raising the minimum wage, restoring unemployment insurance benefits, reforming an antiquated immigration laws and restructuring the tax code, are issues both sides of the aisle should agree on, Wager said.
"Unfortunately, ideological extremist – particularly in the US. House - fail to address these issues, and ignore the voices of countless hardworking Americans, including thousands here in Ohio," his statement concluded without actually naming Joyce.
A spokesman for Congressman Joyce sent a statement to CGE expressing Joyce's reaction to the SOTU. "When I was first elected, I was stunned to hear that 3 million jobs go unfilled every month. So I'm glad the President mentioned manufacturing, job-training, and education which will help us fill those jobs with American workers," Joyce said. "But the difference between my vision for the country and the President's is that I think the American people can, and should, lead our economic recovery - not politicians."
According to Joyce staffer Christyn Keyes, the Congressman, a former Geauga County prosecutor, "found it very troubling the President indicated that if he doesn't get what he wants, he'll simply bypass Congress." In the same spirit of cooperation, Joyce said Washington should work together to find common ground on the issues, and continue to make job-creation our number one priority.
"What Ohio families want to see is less Washington interference and more job-creation and economic growth," Joyce said, adding, "At the end of the day, nothing can replace what a good-paying job means for Ohio families. When the American people are free to succeed, there's no limit to what we can accomplish."
Based on a new Gallup poll that plumbs which issues Americans want their leaders in Washington to focus on, Joyce and Wager have one thing right: The economy out ranks all other issues in the survey.
Supporters of both parties agree that the economy should be a top priority, Gallup results show, with 91 percent of Democrats and 88 percent of Republicans saying it is extremely or very important that the president and Congress deal with that issue this year.
But that's where agreement between the two major political parties ends. Democrats overall assign a significantly higher priority than do Republicans to nine of the 19 issues measured—Environment, Wealth Distribution, Poverty and Homelessness, Education, Gun Policy, Race Relations, Gay and Lesbian Policy, Energy, Social Security & Medicare, Crime, Healthcare, Economy, World Affairs, Abortion, Immigration, Government Surveillance of Citizens, Terrorism, Taxes, Military & National Defense.
This likely reflects differences in underlying partisan views of how involved the government should be in fixing societal problems, with Democrats significantly more likely than Republicans to say government should be used to fix problems.
"I don't want to come out and say that I'm a tea party ... they may not want me ... but I think what I've tried to say is as a whole, if they watch my voting record, they'll see that I believe in the same things. . ." Joyce said to a Columbus news group.
Wager said his campaign stands for "the proposition that the voters of the 14th District deserve to know what their representative believes - without vagueness, ambiguity, deception or hypocrisy."
Joyce, a freshman who won the 14th District two years ago when the former long-time holder of it, Steve LaTourette, vacated it after he announced his retirement from Congress out of frustration with partisan gridlock, filed his campaign finance report last week. As of Dec. 32, Congressman Joyce had banked $1,141,354 at the end of 2013. He also filed his reelection campaign paperwork last week, but one report indicates the freshman could be primaried if rumors pan out that at other GOP contenders may challenge him.
Wager, no stranger to fundraising, banked $347,646 on Dec. 31.
The Lake County Board of Elections, where filings take place for the 14th, says only Joyce and Wager so far have filed petitions for this race.
Recognized political prognosticators of worth, like Charlie Cook of the Cook Political Report, rank the 14th District race among Ohio's most competitive. The results from the 2012 contest are reason enough to believe Cook has it right when he gives the advantage to the Republican candidate.
Democratic strategists say their previous candidates haven't been as competitive as they should have been, but given that recognition, Democrats hope with Wager to win a race they have come within striking distance over the last ten years but have failed to win.
Joyce was selected from a pool of applicants by GOP county chairman to replace Congressman LaTourette in 2012, when the longtime congressman announced his retirement after Ohio's primary filing deadline. LaTourette's daughter, Sarah, has been mentioned as a contender along with Ohio House Member Matt Lynch.

Car enthusiasts, collectors, and those who share America's love of the automobile had a perfect day for the 3rd Annual Romancing the Chrome car how. This is one of the first, and largest Spring car shows, in Northeastern Maryland, featuring nearly 250 cars and trucks. Over 2000 people walked Jarretts's Field in Jarrettsville, Maryland enjoying the polish and chrome on April 12, 2014.
Romancing the Chrome is sponsored by the Harford County Public Library Foundation and the Jarrettsville Lions Club. This year's event, held at Jarrett's Field in Jarrettsville, Maryland featured something for everyone to appreciate. From the triple Delorean gull wing classics to custom cars, military vehicles, antiques, hot rods and rat rods.
Each car and truck at the show has an interesting story, which adds to the enjoyment of car shows. Some stories detail the restoration process or the family history of a car. One such story was the rarity of a 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Ramp-side truck on display. This unique truck has a standard bed and tailgate but also includes a hinged gate on the passenger side of the truck that could be lowered to form a ramp to the cargo area. Less than 400 were produced in 1962.
There were fourteen categories for those interested in having their autos judged while other cars were for display only. Winners in each category were judged as best in their class with one, Dave Warner, being recognized as "Best in Show" with his custom 1948 Studebaker Truck/Roadster. Other winners were:
Domestic 1993 and up: Ralph Hatton – 2006 Cadillac XLR
Foreign 1993 and up: Mike Davis – 2000 BMW 323CI
Muscle car 1993 and up: Mark Gogots – 2010 Chevrolet Camaro
Imports/tuners: Mark Walters – 2006 Honda Civic Si

It was Irene who noticed the newcomer and said in a low voice, "Unidentified aircraft three o'clock."
Aruko maneuevered his body to better see what had come in Irene's sights. He appeared to be leaning and studying something else. He popped a bit of toast in his mouth before answering, "It's an instructor."
"How'd you know that?" Irene was surprised.
"Army brat, remember?"
"Right. What's the deal with her sitting here though? I mean don't the faculty have their own mess?" She looked at Rani quizzically.
Aruko hadn't listened but instead was atuned to his own thoughts. He was surprised yet relieved that none of the instructors had pestered him about his parents. His mother was a well respected science officer and his father... well most pilot cadets worshipped him. He had already heard cadets talking about his father and how he had executed a daring maneuever with his fighter and ended up saving his ship. He had rolled his eyes at the cadet's story and had walked away. Even in line in the mess he had heard comments about his father.
To be brutally honest, he wasn't worried about people finding otu who his father was because for the most part, they believed the official story of Rokusians not marrying outside their species or their sister species.
Yeah cause look what came out...me.
Now sitting there playing with his cup of sludge by swirling it around, he thought about the instructor sitting there munching a muffin. What did she hope to gain by sitting their? Intimidate them all so they'd washout?

TC TO JWC ; 14 September 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580914-TC-JWC-01; CL 34: 183-185
Prag (Hôtel zum Englischen Hof) 14 Septr (Tuesday Evg) 1858—
Dearest,—This, you may believe, was a right pleasant morning to me. I had missed two nights sleep in succession; and last night on arriving here was in the saddest plight; but by the superior arrangts of the place got six good hours to start with again, whh was itself a cheerful feat. Then going out to "Poste restante," I found your Letter; actually got sight of your little hand again; and heard of your safe arrival in Tynron, and of your first night's sleep there! I should not like to have such three weeks of uncertainty and guessing soon again; not one whisper had I heard from the time of leaving Scotland, or rather 4 days before it. Your "sunday" I find was the 22d of August,1 that first sea-day of mine, when all was tumbling about in our dirty machine, and poor Foxton like the rest of the world lay sick and puking,—I hidden in an upstairs crypt of hencoops to at least have fresh air, and avoid a like fate. Alas, it is again above 3 weeks;—but I hope to find something better tomorrow night at Dresden: pray Heaven the news it brings be only as good. Mrs Pringle seems to be the Queen of Hostesses; tell her that my obligations to her are great and lasting for the good work she has done upon you.— Today there came a Letter from John too, dated five days later (27 Augt): but it contained of course nothing that you had not told me,—except, what was rather bad, that Jean's Boy Jamie had not got the "place" he seemed clearly in view of at the time I went away. A sorish disappointt upon poor Jean, who has her share of such just now to bear.
From Breslau, where I wrote, our adventures have been miscellaneous, our course painful but successful. At Landshut2 (edge of the Riesengebirge) where we arrived near 11 the first night, in a crazy vehicle of one horse,—you never saw such a scene of squalid desolation. I had pleased myself with the thot of a cup of hot milk, such as is generally procurable in German inns: Umsonst [in vain]; no milk in the house, no nothing;—only a ruhiges Zimmer [quiet room], not opened for weeks past (by the smell of it), and whh I judged by the description must abut on Cochin China Cocks; as Ng by sad experience found it do. I lay towards the street, but then also as above hinted mostly missed sleep. Our drive next day thro' the Riesengebirge into Bohemian Territory was as beautiful as any I ever had;—likest to it was that drive we once had from Buxton in Derbyshire across the Hills to Sheffield:3 you remember it no doubt. Like that too it ended in confusion;4 getting into railways, full of dirty smoking Sunday gents (fully as ugly on the Elbe there as on the Thames nearer you): we had passed the sources of the Elbe early in the day; then crossed it at night, little bigger than the water of milk;5 we have not far quitted it since, nor shall till we pass Dresden, and decline the Hamburg route home. The gents, that night led us to a place called Pardubitz6 (terribly familiar to me from those dull Friedh Books); where one of the detestablest nights of all this Expedition was provided me. Big noisy inn,7 full of evil smells; contemptible little wicked village; where a worse than Jerry-shop8 close over the way raged like Bedlam or Erebus,—to cheer one in a "bed" (i.e. trough) 18 inches too short, and a matrass forced into it, whh cocked up at both ends, as if you had been lying in the trough of a saddle: ach Himmel! We left it at 4 a.m. to do the hardest day of any: Chotusitz, Kolin;9 such a day: in a wicked vehicle, with a spavined horse, amid clouds of dust under a blazing sun: I was half mad on getting hither at 8½ p.m., again by the railway among incidental groups of the nastiest kind of gents. The Bohemians are a difft people from the Germans proper: yesterday not one in a hundred of them cd understand a word of German:—they are liars, thieves, slatterns: a kind of miserable subter-Irish people; Irish with the addition of ill nature, and a disposition decidedly disobliging. We called yesterday at an Inn (on the Battlefield of Kolin) where Frh had gone aloft to take survey of the ground: the "Golden Sun"10 is still its title, but it has sunk to be the dirtiest house probably in Europe, and with the nastiest-looking ill-thriven spectre of a landlady, who had not even a glass of beer, if Foxton cd have summoned courage to drink it in honour of the occasion. This is a grand picturesque Town, this Prag, in good part Bohemian:—tomorrow before noon we hope to be quite out of Bohemian limits, and one of us will not be easily persuaded thither again.— Today we had our own difficulties in getting master of the "Ziscaberg"11 "Sterboholi"12 and other localities of the Battle whh young Ladies play on the piano: but on the whole it was light compared with the throes of yesterday. Here is an authentic wild pink plucked from the Battlefield;—give it to some young lady who practises the "Battle of Prague"13 on her piano to your satisfaction!—
There are now but 3 Battlefields to do: one double, day after tomorrow by a "return-ticket" to be had in Dresden; the two next (Torgau, Rossbach) in two days following: after whh—!— Poor Neuberg has fairly broken down by excess of yesterday's labour and various misery: he gave up the Hradschin14 ("Radsheen," they pronounce it) to Foxton and me, tho' one of the chief curiosities of Prag; and is gone to bed,—a noisy bed, with little nursing, poor man;—but hopes to be road worthy tomorrow again. He is the mainspring of every enterprise: I cd not do it witht him;—and Foxton is good for absolutely nothing except to neutralise him, whh he pretty much does.— — We speculated on getting to Antwerp and on board Steamer on Sunday first; but I rather think it will be Wednesday (22 Septr), to be at London in 24 Hours more if all prosper! Oh my Goody, Oh my Goody, shall I easily go away again!— —Seldom in my days had I a viler writing apparatus than even here;—and it is now late; and I have still a Note (to Ld Ashburton) to write— I end therefore. Pardon me, be well and love me. Adieu my poor little woman. Yours evermore T. Carlyle

Saudi Arabia is the largest producer of crude oil in the world with a current capacity of 12.5 million barrels a day. Fears had arisen about its ability to maintain export volumes of just over 7 million barrels a day, especially as its domestic consumption continues to rise.
Prince Abdulaziz bin Salim has assured that exports will remain at the current level until at least 2030, mostly through its aims to improve energy efficiency in order to reduce consumption.

Who is Rebecca Robertson? "Duck Dynasty" fans found out exactly who the 24-year-old woman was on Wednesday night when she was introduced on A&E. One of two cast members that fans got to meet on the reality show, the woman might be the next big star on the show. According to WetPaint on Tuesday, this cast member co-owns the Duck & Dressing boutique in Monroe, Louisiana with Korie Roberson.
The introduction to Rebecca Robertson was on the first of two episodes. Cousin JD was introduced on the second episode. Looking for help at "Duck Dynasty," it was JD who got the chance to learn the ropes from Willie Robertson at Duck Commander but it appeared he had a tough time convincing the guys in the Duck Room that he was a cool dude. As expected it worked out at the end, but it took some convincing.
With two new cast members, the fans will get a chance to see a much larger family and the series can branch out to offer a look at the dynamics of a large Southern family. Alan Robertson and his family was added last year and the cast is related to people Willie Robertson knows. With all the story lines of the people, the simple show has enough to be more than 30 minutes or even offer a spin off scenario like Kim Kardashian's family.

We've all probably got a charm bracelet sitting in a drawer somewhere that never gets worn. It's just too clunky to wear practically, which is why this charm necklace ($395) is a great compromise. Plus, it's like you've got a built-in office distraction with all those doo-hickeys to play with all day. Maybe you could use those tiny scissors to make tiny snowflakes.

Safe and Secure ordering | Exclusive Products | 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee
Sold per dozen. Perfect for any traditional bow and known by some as natures carbon shaft. These bamboo shafts are hand weighed and will be supplied as closely matched as we can.
Tonkin bamboo arrow shafts are becoming increasingly popular with traditional archers due to their strength and durability.
For guidance choose bamboo shafts 5lb stiffer than your normal wood arrow shaft choice.
Posted by Rob Halliwell on 28th Oct 2013
Made a few sets of these now - not all shafts bought from LBS admittedly.
The advantage of sourcing from LBS is that most of the shafts have been weighed and show the grain weight. The range of spine weights is much closer than woodies but it is difficult to actually spine test them with my ACE tester due to the fact that they are not entirely straight and are tapered.
This is not a disadvantage and shouldn't put you off. Chose a spine range 5lb higher that you would for woodies. Fix the point wight of your choice and do a bare shaft test at 5 yds and 10 yds and focus your eyes on a single spot. Don't look at the arrow pile look at the dot and shoot all of the piled shafts three or four dozen times. Make a set out of the ones that consistently group together. Trust me bent or not they fly straight and take more abuse from trees, bushes and butts than woodies.
Before bare shaft testing remember to number them or you won't know which ones are doing what!
Sounds long winded but really allows you to get the best out of them.
I use the same set with my 50lb KTB, my 50lb Flatbow and my 54lb Aidy Hayes Longbow - Got a Falco Storm on order and can't wait to try them with that too.
Always plug booth ends - use an Arrowfix tool or 4mm drill in a Blackk and Decker to remove the pith. Put the pointy bit on the fat end and use 1/4" or 9/32" fit over nocks on the skinny end.
My preferred pile weight is 63grn - the buggers go for miles on Roving Marks and are devastating at short field distances. Bloody good all-round arrows.
Custom cut your own 4.5" plain shield feathers with silk binding they look awesome and only need one coat of varnish on the shafts.
What you wiring for then...convinced?
Posted by Hamish on 1st Aug 2012
I purchased a dozen of these shafts and after plenty of resaerch set about making a set. I used the Arrow-fix tool to drill the shafts out to glue in the dowels, truy an excellent tool once you get the hang of it (not essential to fork out for the Arrow-fix to build bamboo arrows). In doing this it took a little practice to get the hang of it and lost a little length on a few arrows. I found the tapering of the nock end a little tricky (probably need to sharpen my tool) and used the Tang Points at the sharp end. I ended with a finished set of 8 arrows with an AMO length of 32 5/8inches and 3 x 28 1/2 inch, the last arrow was too short. All in all for a first attempt I am very happy with these arrows. They are excellent in strength & straightness. They fly fantastic and 1 arrow which hit wood to a depth of 1/2 inch came out with no damage so these will be a sturdy arrow.
I am looking forward to shooting these at the next record status shoot.
I will be making more of these but will go for Horn nocks with a Tang dowel on them to get round the need to taper and will make a more attractive arrow. Hopefully these will be available from the Longbow shop in the future.
All in all an excellent shaft with all shafts straight and true with the bonus of being naturally tapered! Would recommend them to anyone frustrated with breaking wood shafts.

U.S. news reports [VIDEO below] that there are over 120 Elk that died all within 24 hours of each other, but a mysterious circle within a circle in spotted in the TV news video. It looks eerily similar to a crop circle or perhaps the landing area for a UFO. Alien experimentation on the herd may explain a lot since aliens are notorious for their cattle mutilations and experimentations.
More than 120 Elk were found dead 20 miles north of Las Vegas In New Mexico that were found on August 26 2013. Within a few hundred feet there was a crop circle that was visible from KRQE's News Helicopter. The Elk were found in close proximity to each other suggesting they were not killed by a virus.

King, Crown Prince address Muslims on eve of Ramadan
July 9, 2013
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz addressed the Saudi people and Muslims around the world on the eve of the holy month of Ramadan. A speech was delivered on their behalf today by Minister of Culture and Information Dr. Abdulaziz bin Mohieddin Khoja.
"Our sons, daughters, brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, our Muslim brothers all over the world: We congratulate you on the blessed month of Ramadan, the month of good, blessing, mercy and best morals," Dr. Khoja said.
"Islam is the religion of love, tolerance and forgiveness," he declared. "It is a message for building and peace and a method for dialogue, not introversion and defeat." He continued, "Graced by God to serve the two holy mosques and, having that honor, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will never give room for exploiting the religion as a mask behind which extremists, the frivolous and those who are eager to secure personal interests practice their flagrant and rejected interpretations, defaming the profile of the great Islam through their radical and extreme behavior."
Dr. Khoja concluded, "I ask God Almighty to guide us to the right path and inspire us with better guidance and wisdom and to help us against he whoever becomes deviant and hurts human beings. We also pray to God Almighty to get our brothers in the sister country of Syria to alleviate their sufferings, calling on the international community not to precede their political calculations over their ethical ones, and whoever does so, history will write that he participated in the killing of innocents and breaching the liberties of the people."

Economic Indicators
The Chamber's monthly Economic Indicators report on the Central Texas region chronicles economic activity on a monthly or quarterly basis. For this overview including links to downloadable data files please visit the Economic Indicators page within the Business section.
Central Texas Economy in Perspective
July 12, 2011 edition
The latest release of the Census Bureau's annual economy-wide profile of U.S. business, County Business Patterns (CBP), appeared June 30. According to this data, Austin and Houston are the only U.S. metros among the 100 largest to have increased the number of business establishments in 2009. Austin had 40,281 businesses with paid employees in 2009, up by 147 or 0.4% from 2008. Houston's net gain was 0.1%.
Best Performing Among the 50 Largest Metros by Rate of Job Growth (Loss) 2008-2009
At the mid-point of 2011, new economic data for 2009 may not draw many headlines, but it is worth calling attention to what is the standard reference source for small area economic data, particularly data completing the recession period (defined as December 2007 to June 2009). CPB provides data on employment, payrolls, and establishment counts by employment size as well, along with a great deal of industry detail, and is used to benchmark numerous public and private sector business statistical series and trends by industry for business and policy purposes. Like the monthly nonfarm payroll jobs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that we report on regularly, CBP covers businesses with paid employees (though there are differences in data sources and methodology). CBP excludes most government employees.
Establishments, Employees, Payrolls & Average Annual Salary Austin MSA
Nationally, we have seen two consecutive years of decline in the number business establishments with paid employees. The loss in 2009 was 168,000 establishments or 2.2%, and the loss in 2008 was 104,000 or 1.3%. Jobs and the value of payrolls were also negative in 2009, by 5.3% and 5.4% respectively, but had been positive in 2008 (jobs up 0.2% from 2007 and annual payroll up 2.1%). While the District of Columbia saw a small net gain (0.6%), all states lost establishments in 2009. Texas' drop of 0.6% was among the lowest, but New York fared better with a loss of only 0.5%. California lost 2.4% of its business establishments in 2009.
Paid employees were down 5.3% nationally and 3.3% in Texas, while Austin lost only 1.5% in 2009. (Note that in CBP, employment is reported as the number paid employees for the pay period including March 12.) The value of payrolls for 2009 was down 5.4% nationally, 4.6% in Texas, but was ahead of 2008 by 0.3% in Austin.
Establishments, Employees, Payrolls & Average Salary Annual Percent Change, Austin MSA
The 10-year trend graphs above show the relatively different impacts on Austin of the latest recession compared to the previous one. While Texas has come out of the latest recession sooner than the nation, the circumstances were reversed in the recession of the early 2000s. That one is defined as lasting from March to November of 2001, however Texas did not bottom out until July 2003.
CBP' establishment counts by employment size indicate Austin has seen increases at the low and the high ends, and net losses in the size classes between. Establishments with between 1 and 4 employees, which account for more than half of all establishments in the Austin metro, increased by 249 or 1.2% between 2008 and 2009. Establishments with 1,000 or more employees also increased from 35 to 38 (an 8.6% increase). Six of the seven employment size classes in the middle lost establishments in 2009.
Establishments by Employment Size, Austin MSA
As the table below indicates, 2009's net gain of 147 establishments also represents a mix of gains and losses in different industries. As we might expect from what we've seen of industry employment data through this recession, losses are most pronounced in construction where there are 163 fewer establishments than in 2008. That's a 4.9% decrease, which compares to a 7.8% decline in the number of construction establishments nationally. Real estate and leasing has seen the next largest decline (81 establishments or 3.3%).
Establishments by Industry, Austin MSA
Healthcare and social assistance and accommodation and food services have added the most net new establishments, 127 and 112 respectively. Healthcare and social assistance's percent change in establishments (3.3%) is in line with the percent change in the industry's employment (3.1%). In other cases, there are more substantial percentage differences between the change in employees vs. the change in establishments, which will increase or decrease average firm size for an industry.
Establishments, Employees, Payrolls & Average Salary Percent Change 2008-2009, Austin MSA
Note that industries as represented here are only the tip of the iceberg available in the CBP dataset which will provide data for NAICS industry classifications up to 6-digits. Small counties will see more data suppression than larger counties or metros due to confidentiality issues, but the opportunities for understanding almost any area's economic base are rich.
There is also a zip code version of the CBP data that comes out shortly after release of the county data and 2009 will be available in August.
While CBP reports on establishments with paid employees and excludes self-employed individuals, there is a companion dataset called Nonemployer Statistics that covers businesses without paid employees. This data is also available by industry at the metro and county level. Data for 2009 will be available later this month.
While CBP is the most commonly cited source for data reflecting the balance between small business and larger businesses in a local area, it can be worth noting that the data in CBP is based on the size of the establishment and some small establishments may be units of a larger firm. If so, "small business" may or may not be the right characterization for all purposes. The Census Bureau also publishes, with a lag of several months from the release of CBP data, an alternative tabulation called Statistics of U.S. Business which tabulates based on size of the enterprise instead of size of the establishment.

It used to be that camping was what people did when they wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, commune with nature, and connect with their loved ones. Not any more. These days people go camping and want to connect -- to the internet. That is the conclusion that owners of private campgrounds across the country have reached in recent years. In response to the demand from their customers, more than 6,000 of the 8,000 private campgrounds in the nation have added wi-fi internet access, primarily in the last couple of years.
Thanks to Twitter, Facebook, email, and all of the other ways people connect through the internet, the options for truly getting away from it all are dwindling. It is becoming much easier for people to continue to conduct business while they are on their camping vacations, and many do. Not only can they work, email, Tweet, and post on their Facebook pages, but they can also watch television shows on the internet.
Even the national parks have been jumping on the internet access bandwagon. Rocky Mountain National Park recently added wi-fi service at two visitor centers. Yosemite National Park offers free wireless internet access to all Yosemite Lodge guests upon check-in, and all park visitors can get internet access for a fee. The Ahwahnee also offers free internet access to guests, and a few other locations in the park offer wireless for a fee. Many of the other national parks also offer wireless internet access in selected locations. But camping purists, don't despair. The national park service advises that there are no plans to add wireless internet access in the approximately 3,000 campgrounds contained within the parks.
Of course, many RVs are equipped with satellite internet access, either through roof-mounted or portable satellite receivers. It is also possible to get wireless internet access through cell phone plans and USB modems, if a signal is available. Certainly there are times when it is necessary to have an internet connection. But we might be less stressed, healthier, and happier if, when on vacation, we leave the gadgets turned off, and just go outside and play.

Women Wow in Home Opener
Sterling, Kan. - Megan and Laura Patrick combined for 46 points as the Sterling College Lady Warriors dominated Doane College on Monday night in the Gleason Center. Sterling used a 31 for 57 night from the floor along with holding Doane to 15 of 53 from the floor to earn an impressive 84-43 home opening victory.
Sterling scored 14 points in the first half from the free throw line and attacked the Doane College defense all night. SC held Doane to 8-26 shooting in the first half and went into halftime with a 46-21 lead.
The Lady Warriors jumped on Doane again at the start of the second half and put the game away early. With the game out of reach, Sterling's freshman class was able to get valuable playing time. The most impressive freshman of the night was by far Laura Patrick, but Carley Chambers, Randi Lucas and Katie McGrath had good outings as well.
Megan Patrick led all scorers in the game with 26 points and missed the double-double by one rebound as she had nine. Laura Patrick was the only other Warrior in double figures with 16 while she also added five assists. Candace Ewert tied Laura for the team lead in assists while adding eight points of her own. Madison Lucas had a quality night as well, scoring seven points while pulling down six rebounds.
With the win, SC moves to 2-0 on the young season and will travel to Concordia, Nebraska this weekend to play in the Concordia University Classic. Sterling plays Concordia on Friday at 8:00 pm and will then play Doane again on Saturday at 4:00 pm.

My PC has been powering down and rebooting after exactly one hour every time I turn the thing on. It's been happening for about 3 weeks now. The spec of my self-built machine (rough in places sorry) is below:
- Built 2007;
- Windows XP SP2
- Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz E4500 with standard fan and heat sink;
- Intel Motherboard (cant remember if its the DP3DP model, but this was what I wanted originally, so if not that then very very similar);
- 2Ghz stick of DDR2 RAM (fitted approx 2008-9);
- ATI Radeon X550 256Mb Graphics;
- Xilence Power PSU XP600.(12)R 600W ATX 2.2;
- Seagate Barracuda 250Gb HDD;
- Generic CD-RW;
- Pro Tools MBox2 Pro via Firewire;
- Logitech Driving Force GT Steering Wheel;
The specs are outdated but it was built as a specific music PC and for playing literally one offline game (and still is).
This PC has never had another user other than me (literally no-one else has touched this PC), and has never been connected to the internet in any way. I do not use the Task Scheduler, and nothing is being written to the Event Log, nor is there a BSOD. I have un-ticked the 'please don't auto restart this machine' box yet it still doesn't show me a BSOD. It will just shut down and restart every hour exactly ad infinitum. This PC isn't even used every day, possibly twice a week depending on projects or free time to play GPL lol.
I have not installed anything on this PC for about a year, it receives regular de-frags and file checks, and only official released software has gone onto this machine so I can rule out viruses.
I have ran the PC idle (case on and off), in Safe Mode, in CMOS (BIOS...whatever), and it will still reboot. I ran Memtest in it's standard tests (not the longer test) and it brought no errors. The temps for the CPU look ok, and the Voltages for the PSU look fine with no drops.
So, I have ruled out the OS and software, Scheduled Tasks, the RAM, the Graphics Card, overheating and the HDD. There are no bulging or broken caps on the motherboard. I would also rule out the PSU given it is still running fine and there are no voltage issues, but that is the only thing left.
I was ready to buy a new PSU, but a tech friend suggested he had a similar issue caused by the RAM which doesn't make sense to me. Yet another tech friend has suggested that it is definitely the PSU as he also had a similar problem, and the internet (and therefore the whole world's population) is undecided.
I don't want to stump up the money for a PSU that I don't need (and can't really afford), so I need to be 95% sure. I'm 90% sure atm, so your advice would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance Tom

The concept of the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) came from Austrian industrial manager Johann Rosenzopf in 1998.This was in response to growing global concerns about childhood obesity and the dropping participation of youth in sport activities, especially amongst youth in developing nations. It was further recognized that a youth version of the Olympic Games would help foster participations in the Olympic Games. International Olympic Committee (IOC) delegates wanted the event to be as much about cultural education and exchange as it was about sports, which is why the Culture and Exchange Programme (CEP) was developed as a component of each celebration of the Games.
There are several goals for the YOG, and four of them include bringing together the world's best young athletes, offering an introduction into Olympism, innovating in educating and debating Olympic values.
The first edition of these Games were held in Singapore in 2012, the next edition is in Nanjing, China in 2014. Cayman competed in Singapore and will be sending a team to Nanjing – no medals have been won.

This was being drawn on the west side of Broadway, between 92nd and 93rd Street. It was drawn by a street artist named Hani, whose photograph is show here.
Note: this photo was published in a Jul 22, 2009 blog titled Michael Jacksons autopsie wijst uit: overdosis is doodsoorzaak."
Moving into 2011, it was also published in a Mar 14, 2011 blog titled "Make Like the Celebs and Slip Into a Pair of Hunter Wellington Boots this Summer!"
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan — between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
As I indicated when I started this project in 2008, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting — literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture … after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
Thus far, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes …
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed … but there was just nothing memorable about them.

This timely makeover comes from Jill of Create.Craft.Love. Back in the fall, Jill had crafted a darling picture frame for Halloween. Fast forward a few months, and she's ready to do the same for Valentine's Day. But did she need to go get a new frame? Nope!
Since the first frame was decorated with washi tape–which doesn't have the greatest adhesive qualities–Jill was able to un-decorate it. Once she had a bare frame, Jill pulled out more washi tape that had the right look for Valentine's Day, and covered the frame again! With a few added embellishments, she's been able to use the same frame to decorate for two distinctly different holidays. Way to go, Jill!
You can get more information on making an embellished picture frame like this one at Create.Craft.Love.

College Hockey:Caron Leaving UNH (For Good)
Senior Had Previously Transferred to Yale and Back
DURHAM, N.H. — New Hampshire forward Eddie Caron will forego his final two seasons of eligibility after signing a professional contract with the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League. Though he would have been a senior this upcoming season, Caron still had two years of college eligibility remaining because of two transfers.
"I support Eddie's decision," said UNH head coach Dick Umile. "I wish him the best of luck in the future. He is a terrific young man."
Caron, a 2nd round draft choice of the Oilers in 2001, played two seasons at UNH and appeared in 69 games, recording 11 goals and eight assists for 19 points. He posted a career-high 13 points in his freshman season in 2001-2002. He was a two-time Sid Knight Award winner, given annually at the team awards banquet to the Wildcat with the highest grade point average.
Caron is the fifth Hockey East player to depart early this summer, joining Luciano Aquino and Dustin Penner from Maine, Greg Mauldin from Massachusetts, and Ryan Whitney from Boston University.
Caron's departure, though, adds to a long list of players that UNH needs to replace heading into the upcoming season. The Wildcats graduated eight seniors including their leading score, Steve Saviano, and top goaltender, Mike Ayers.

Last night opposites certainly attracted different types to two different areas of downtown Baltimore, as incumbent Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake hosted a high-priced fundraiser for the City/State elite while Mayoral candidate Otis Rolley held his multi-faceted event for Baltimore's average constituent. The question remains; whose event meant more to their electability in September?
Obviously with the Mayor being the incumbent for a little over 18-months before the Primary elections, she shall have the power of the City's "bully-pulpit" at her disposal. She also seems to have the City/State's power base and elected leadership behind her, yet in a time where the electorate is not too fond of those elected, especially those who have been in office for a considerable amount of time, what that means for Mayor Rawlings-Blake is still in question? She also has to address a budgetary process that looms of an almost $85-million budget deficit facing Baltimore, as the past 4-cent bottle tax proposed last year has already come back to haunt her administration with Pepsi announcing its recent closing and laying-offs of 77-employees. Therefore, though the daughter of former Baltimore political powerhouse Pete Rawlings may have the blessing of the esteemed Democratic establishment, they still only have one vote like everyone else, while some cannot even vote for her as many of the city developers she attracted last night don't even live in the City of Baltimore?
As for Otis, his relative obscurity in Baltimore politics shall be a plus and a minus, dependent on how he manuveurs his campaign, and its startegy, shall speak to which side gets the better of the other? Being that "political outsider" may come to play well with the average first or second time voter, however the more experienced voter who regularly visits the polls or concentrates their attentions on politics and campaigns shall want something more! They shall want to almost certainly see his plan, and/or vision for the City that goes above and beyond that of Rawlings-Blake's, or any other candidate in the race. Also it will be interesting to see, which I may have a sense of already, whether or not he falls into the same trap as past candidates in bringing a campaign team consistent with a bunch of outsiders who do not know Baltimore, or our politics, and try to bring this southern or west coast campaign strategy to a town dependent on the way it has done its business for decades? He shall most certainly need Baltimore experts to run things, while having possible outside advisers, however as others have said, Bill Cosby and these so-called experts at the end of the day go off to their respective states or residents, not really knowing or caring that deeply as to the leadership and conditions of a town they are only merely visiting for the time being!
Then its the third option of the possible third, fourth, fifth and other future candidates that may, and almost certainly shall, jump into the fray of things? From court clerk Frank Conaway Sr. to 40th district Senator Catherine Pugh to 41st district Delegate Jill P. Carter to 12th district Councilman Carl Stokes to Kweisi Mfume to Jody Landers to Scott Donaghue to la-di-da-di and everybody else? This dynamic changes everything, especially if Frank, Catherine and Jill jump in against Stephanie, with all four having to split up those West side votes where they all come out of, while leaving East Baltimore ripe for the pickings, for someone like East Baltimore native Carl Stokes? Then you have the possibility of all these African American leaders running, while a caucasian such as Jody Landers jumps in and grabs the white vote, as the rest of the class split up the less than dominant black vote, leaving Landers the second coming of Martin O'Malley. Therefore what was done last night may only show a preview of what we may see for a multi-leveled municipal election in 2011?
As the Mayor banked on an account of raising about $600,000 last night, SPIN spokesperson Lisa Harlow spoke for Rolley saying that they were "extremely happy and satisfied with last night's showing and that we would see the final numbers on the January 20th filing report." Ms. Harlow, speaking to what she called a "sell-out performance last night", said that everyone in the Rolley camp was very pleased, regarding both the financial and voter-supported attendance and turnout of last night's Cosby event. "This is just the first of many big events we shall have for Otis in the coming months," said Harlow. Yet Mayoral spokesperson Ian Brennan said that while the Rolley event had Mr. Cosby they also had a long list of restrictions placed on the press as the media restrictions for the Mayor were 'zero'! "We had a strong showing for the mayor last night speaking to her popularity amongst supporters, especially when you look at the weather conditions of Baltimore and how residents usually react to such warnings." With a plethora of state and city elected officials in attendance from U.S. Senator Ben Cardin to Governor and Lt. Governor O'Malley and Brown, Congressman Elijah Cummings, City Council President Bernard 'Jack' Young and Councilmembers Stokes, Middleton, Spector and Cole; this showed a tremendous amount of support for someone who has only been Baltimore's Mayor for a little under a year now. "This was a very solid and big event, that raised a considerable amount of money with a very strong showing for the Baltimore Mayor," said Brennan at the end of the night.

Chris O'Neill, 43, is set to receive The Wireless Foundation's Samaritan Award at a special dinner ceremony set for July 23 in Washington, D.C. O'Neill used his cell phone to call 9-1-1 before personally saving young Seve Prats from a potentially disastrous dunk in the lake.
O'Neill already has been honored for heroism by the Lake Oswego police and fire departments.
O'Neill, a real estate broker, was driving along North Shore Road last Oct. 20, on his way to work, when he spotted a Lexus SUV teetering on the bank of Oswego Lake. He immediately pulled over and called emergency dispatchers.
Prats later said she had stopped to hop out and pick up a home-sale flier she saw and forgot to set the parking brake.

During the 2012-2013 academic year, the Office of Education Abroad and the Education Abroad Advisory Council, in coordination with faculty throughout Case Western Reserve University, created an initial list of approved study abroad programs for undergraduates. This list included 78 study abroad programs in 36 countries located in 6 different regions of the world. This list becomes the official study abroad approved program list in the fall of 2014.
Each study abroad programs is contingent upon the partner's completion of a study abroad survey and a positive site visit within three (3) years (by the fall of 2016). Every summer, the survey will be sent to each partner for updates for the next year's academic cycle. After the initial site visit, each program will be put into a five (5) year rotation for site visits to maintain relationships with the program partner and to ensure that CWRU only provides the highest quality of study abroad programs.
Faculty and Staff Site Visit Grant Program
Faculty and staff are invited to apply for a site visit grant. These grants of up to $500 are meant to supplement a previously planned trip to the partner institution or the partner institution's city. The grant requires that the faculty or staff member visit the appropriate international office at the partner site, tour the campus, examine student services, and complete a site visit report. Each visit lasts approximately three (3) hours. The Office of Education Abroad will coordinate the on-campus schedule for each visit.
The site visit application is open year round. Grants are awarded based upon the need for a site visit in the particular location and funds available. Faculty and Staff are welcome to apply for multiple grants if their travels allow, but should schedule appropriate time for each site visit, including travel time.
Grant funds will only be released once the site visit report has been completed and submitted to the Office of Education Abroad.
For more information, contact email@example.com

The MWCC Center for Civic Learning and Community Engagement is pleased to provide The New York Times on campus for faculty to integrate into classroom discussions and to assist in delivering relevancy to our students regarding the content taught in the classroom.
One of the primary drivers behind the decision to bring the Times to MWCC was a 2011 TED Talk by Eli Pariser titled "Beware Online Filter Bubbles". It's an issue about which we should all be keenly aware, as more and more of our students are getting their news and their information from their smartphones and selective websites.

What Is A "4K TV"?
Making Way For The 4K
With the continual growth in technology, you may be finding it harder to stay on top. You may have overheard discussions about the 4K TV.

They're all jumping on the bandwagon and gaining higher-resolution screens. The 4K TV is just a TV with similar high-resolution displays as a smartphone, tablet or laptop.

I am currently looking for employment in the fields of engineering and mathematics.
I am educated, well spoken, well presented, male and I have facial hair. This is not "stylish stubble" or due to laziness; it's a full beard.
What are your (and your readers') thoughts on beards at the point of interview? I appreciate it is "cleaner" to be freshly-shaven, but I (and my wife) like my facial hair and (especially this time of year), I would like to keep it.
I suspect that your reply may close with the note that if a company were to reject me due to my facial hair, perhaps that isn't the company for me but this does not apply – I need to find employment as soon as possible.
I've become predictable apparently, because yeah, that's what I was going to say. So I'm glad you preemptively told me that that's irrelevant here.
Assuming your beard is neatly trimmed and not some sort of ZZ Top style monstrosity, I think this is unlikely to be an issue. Can I promise that you won't encounter a hiring manager with an irrational bias against beards? No, just like I can't promise that you won't encounter a hiring manager with an irrational bias against tall people or people with throaty laughs. But overall, in the vast majority of industries, a neatly trimmed beard isn't likely to be an issue.

Dressing for a Company Party
For a company sponsored cocktail or Christmas party, take your initial cues from your company's dress policy.
If you work in a suit and tie environment, you can assume that suits will be worn at these types of social events. It is, however, recommended to switch from your normal solid white or blue dress shirt to something more fashionable. Try a striped dress shirt , check dress shirt, or a shirt with a contrasting white collar. For a more formal look, wear a French cuff shirt.
If your day-to-day environment is business casual, you may want to select a deep toned sport shirt and match it with a great looking sport coat. Or, take that same sport coat and… Continue>>
Simple Care Instructions for your Dress Shirts
Your cotton dress shirts will last longer if you follow some simple care instructions. If you are washing at home, use a cold water setting, then tumble dry on a delicate cycle. While your shirt is still damp, use a warm iron to get those wrinkles out. If you have your shirts professionally laundered, ask for light starch.
For non-iron cotton shirts, use the same wash and dry settings mentioned above. Simply remove the shirts from the dryer while they are still warm and you will be able to put them on without even looking at an iron… Continue>>
Matching Colors
The most basic color matching involves selecting a tie to wear with a dark suit and a white dress shirt. It is difficult to go wrong with this combination and your main decision is whether to keep with subdued tones or go for a brighter look.
The same holds true for matching a fine gauge knit with a pair of dark trousers. If you are wearing a colored solid dress shirt, select a patterned tie that uses the dress shirt hue as a secondary color. Use the same logic if you are wearing a patterned pair of trousers (glen plaid, houndstooth, etc.). Select a knit or woven shirt that matches the secondary color in the… Continue>>
10 Tips for a Successful Business Wardrobe
1. Invest in quality tailored clothing that will last. Buy conservative suits and basic trousers that won't be out of style next season, and use fashion dress shirts and ties to personalize your fashion statement.
2. Find a good tailor and treat him/her well. Proper alterations on suits, trousers and sport coats are important to your appearance.
3. Be a bit more adventurous when matching shirts and ties. A large patterned necktie will work very well with a small patterned dress shirt, and vice versa. For example, pair a bold paisley tie with a micro-check dress shirt.
4. Make certain that your shoes are shined and appropriate for the rest of your… Continue>>
Simple Care Instructions for your Suits
Suits are expensive, and a clear understanding of how to care for them will extend their life considerably. It is important to know that the chemicals used when dry cleaning suits tend to strip wool of many of its natural properties. By following some basic guidelines, you can minimize trips to the dry cleaners and prolong the life of your suits.
First, if possible, wear a suit only once each week. This way, there will be enough time between wearings for the suit to hang properly and regain its original shape. Don't immediately cram a suit back in the closet when you take it off. Hang it in a place where it can air out. Hang trousers from the bottom on… Continue>>
Matching Shoes, Trousers, Socks & Belts
Shoe colors for business traditionally range from black to burgundy to shades of brown and beige. It makes sense to stay within these guidelines, unless you are extremely confident that you can "pull off" a different color. Black is the most versatile color, since it complements a nice variety of suit and trouser colors. Also remember to coordinate your shoe and belt color, as well as your trouser and sock color… Continue>>

Jim Carrey
Newmarket, Ontario, Canada
"It started in second grade. I was in music class and we were practicing for the Christmas assembly. One day I started fooling around by mocking the musicians on a record. The teacher thought she'd embarrass me by making me get up and do what I was doing in front of the whole class. So I went up and did it. She laughed, and the whole class went nuts. My teacher asked me to do my routine for the Christmas assembly, and I did. That was the beginning of the end."
- Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey is human rubber fused with liquid Prozac. As the guy who gave life to talking asses (in the Ace Ventura films), skirt-chasing crazies in green masks (in The Mask) and made sayings like "Alrighty then" and "Smokin'" part of our every day movie-quoting culture lingo, Jim Carrey has been the de facto comedy king since the early '90s. While his onscreen hooliganism has been toned down in recent years, Jim Carrey is still important and he's still funny. When laughs are on the menu, Jim Carrey can still deliver the goods. We can't say the same for you, Eddie Murphy.
Thinking that maybe actor-to-actress romances weren't all they're cracked up to be, Jim Carrey cranked up the beauty dial to 10 and began dating desirable models instead. He started with Danish export Anine Bing before finding something more long-term from former Playboy model and full-time goofy girl, Jenny McCarthy. Naturally, their relationship (which hasn't progressed to an official marriage, despite many rumors) is filled with funny moments, sometimes at the expense of the paparazzi. Once spotted on the beach by photographers who wanted a better look at Jenny McCarthy's form-fitting one-piece swimsuit, the couple disappeared for a few minutes only to return with Jim Carrey in the one-piece. Sometimes it's the simple cross-dressing moments that make all the difference in modern relationships.
Jim Carrey BiographyJim Carrey's rags-to-riches story began in Newmarket, Ontario, where he started off as a strong student and a class clown. Using impersonations of acting legends like Jack Nicholson and John Wayne, which he would practice in front of his bedroom mirror, Jim Carrey was so eager to entertain that his school teachers would give him special time before the end of each school day to perform for his classmates. The economic realities of the Carrey family's increasingly-difficult living situation quickly outweighed Jim Carrey's comedic ambitions. He was forced to drop out of high school, after it became too difficult to both maintain solid grades and work at a nighttime factory job to support the family.
When his family's situation improved, Jim Carrey ventured into the stand-up comedy circuit. His first performance at an open mic night in Toronto was a disaster, but he kept with it and the legendary Rodney Dangerfield asked him to be his opening act. Jim Carrey went from Las Vegas to Hollywood, where he broke into acting and got the lead as an animation artist on the short-lived NBC sitcom The Duck Factory in 1984. A lead role in the vampire comedy film Once Bitten opposite Lauren Hutton was followed by supporting turns in Peggy Sue Got Married (with Nicolas Cage), Earth Girls Are Easy (with Jeff Goldblum and Damon Wayans), and a pair of Clint Eastwood films, The Dead Pool and Pink Cadillac. Because of his association with Damon Wayans, Jim Carrey was invited to audition for the new sketch comedy series In Living Color in 1990. As the show's lone white male actor, Jim Carrey skewered classic shows like Lassie, offered spot-on celebrity impersonations and invented memorable oddballs like the notoriously self-destructive Fire Marshal Bill.
jim carrey stars in ace ventura: pet detective and man on the moonJim Carrey stayed with In Living Color through the show's entire run before calling it quits in 1994. It was at this time that he returned to the big screen as a "pet detective" searching for the Miami Dolphins' missing mascot. The film was Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and although critics dismissed it as crude and obnoxious, audiences ate it up and just like that, the modern-day gross-out comedy genre was born. Jim Carrey turned the tables on the critics again with his next film, The Mask, which saw him earn a Golden Globe nomination as a bank clerk who goes from super nerdy to ultra cool (and ultra green) with the help of a magical mask. Jim Carrey would continue to induce chuckles and earn big box office dollars with lead roles in Dumb & Dumber and Liar, Liar.
At this point in his career, Jim Carrey was a proven comedy draw, but he wanted to see if he could attain similar success through more serious roles as well. His first stab at it came in 1998's offbeat The Truman Show, where he played a man raised entirely on a television show without his knowledge. His efforts earned him his first Golden Globe win, and he would win a second Golden Globe for the following year's Man on the Moon, a biopic about legendary comedian Andy Kaufman. Critics found him believable in these roles, but to audiences, the films proved to be a mixed bag, so Jim Carrey went back to the comedy genre with his Dumb & Dumber collaborators, the Farrelly Brothers, for the split personality comedy Me, Myself & Irene before teaming up with Ron Howard to play Dr. Seuss's miserly anti-hero The Grinch in a live action version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
jim carrey stars in yes man and a christmas carolBy playing a reporter who takes on divine duties after accusing God (Morgan Freeman) of doing a lousy job, Jim Carrey found himself another smash with 2003's Bruce Almighty, a film that also launched the career of Steve Carell. The following year, Jim Carrey would tap into Michel Gondry's imagination to star as a man trying to protect the eroding memories of his relationship with Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He would later explore similar surreal ground opposite Virginia Madsen in the more serious (and far less successful) The Number 23 as a man who believes that a book and the number in question are closely related to him.
To make up for his mistake of chasing the number 23, Jim Carrey went the animated route for 2008's Horton Hears a Who! before going into full-fledged comedy once again for Yes Man as a guy who starts saying yes to every opportunity that comes his way (including a romance with Zooey Deschanel). Some 14 years after his star-making Ace Ventura role, some people wondered if he still had it, but the doubters were silenced when the film was met with an overwhelmingly positive reception. In 2009, Jim Carrey moved on to 3-D motion capture animation to play Ebenezer Scrooge and his three ghostly visitors in a new version of A Christmas Carol. After that, Jim Carrey will next be seen as a con man who swaps spit with his cellmate (Ewan McGregor) in the independent feature, I Love You Phillip Morris.
