Skip to comments.Bill Maher insults Alabama and Mississippi voters
Posted on 03/14/2012 9:37:56 AM PDT by sandshark222
HBO's Bill Maher on Tuesday took a disgusting cheap shot at Alabama and Mississippi voters.
With all eyes on Republican primaries in those states, Maher sent a message via Twitter saying, "Toothless Tuesday too tight to tally!"
This came just days after he and his Real Time panel mocked poor people in Mississippi.
Their behavior was even too offensive for Roseanne Barr who tweeted Tuesday, "I was really disheartened to see how Pelosi's daughter& Bill Maher portrayed southern americans-classism at its best by H'wood elitists."
Barr followed this up with, "southern folk are not all toothless idiots or racists, unlike what bill maher &pelosi's daughter want us to think."
You know what they say - when you've lost Roseanne Barr...
Readers are reminded that this is the same man that gave $1 million to Barack Obama's Super PAC.

Insult a skank and it's a national scandal. Insult 2 entire states and it goes ignored. Mississippi and Alabama ought to where the Little Man Maher's antipathy like a badge of honor. The boy is Satanic.
Insult a skank and it's a national scandal. Insult 2 entire states and it goes ignored. Mississippi and Alabama ought to wear the Little Man Maher's antipathy like a badge of honor. The boy is Satanic.
I am a college football fan and the co-eds at the SEC schools in those two states sure are not "toothless". I think U of Miss was voted as having the hottest co-eds in the USA.
Obviously Maher has never looked in a mirror. He's about the ugliest creature crawling on the face of the earth. Both inside and out.
Here's just one fact about this pro-God, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-military state populated by some of the finest people you'll find anywhere in America:
If you listen to Hollywood, Mississippi should be the last place to turn for learning anything about medicine. They couldnt be more wrong. When it comes to modern medicine, Mississippi wrote the book. Literally. While at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Mississippian Dr. Arthur Guyton wrote the Textbook of Medical Physiology, used by medical students around the world since 1956.
The best-selling physiology book ever published, this textbook may very well be the best-selling medical textbook of any kind. UMC physiologist, Dr. John Hall, assisted Dr. Guyton with the ninth and tenth editions of the textbook. Upon Dr. Guytons death in 2003, Dr. Hall took over the textbook, thus continuing to help educate the finest future physicians in the world ... through a book written right here in Mississippi. Mississippi. You could say were a textbook case for advancing modern medicine.
And there are many more truths on that site to counter the sneering liberal lies about Mississippi.
It's OK...
Bill Maher is a DEMOCRAT, and this just helps to reinforce the media's "SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS ARE STOOPID!" meme, so it's all good.
Does Maher go out in public?
Maher is nothing but a George Carlin starter kit, and at least Carlin was funny.
Why that "man" hasn't been beaten senseless yet is a continual mystery to me.
Bill Maher is an insult. To America.
Southerners are, for the most part, pretty secure in their identity and in most cases, downright proud of it.
We really don't need Madison Ave or Hollywood approval to be free-thinking.
Maher would have a challenge finding a crowd to hang with down here that is suitable crass and arrogant for his tastes.
And I can think of several people that would love to take him on a "fishin' trip".
I have an idea for a screen play. It starts with Bill Maher driving down in the deep South late at night and his car quits. He starts walking toward a lighted house. He eventually gets to the door and knocks for some help as his cell phone has no signal. Now the hilarity ensues. They invite him in and they immediately recognize him and then they commence to reenact every disgusting scene out of "Deliverance" they can until Maher dies from anal rape. The End.
There's the old saying that one death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic. Reagan once gave a speech about an incredible amount of money he saved when he was governor of California. The response was silence and stares. He gave another speech about saving a very small amount of money and received cheers and applause. The lesson he learned was that people can relate to the smaller amount.
What's black and blue and is only funny when floating down the Mississippi?
I'm sure this slob doesn't even have a mirror in his house and if he does... he must have it covered or he ducks down as he passes it.
We have been in TN and MS many, many times and this was a total insult to the good people who live there. maher is a slime with no soul. He is pure evil. His face pictures everything he is and has inside of him. nothing but hatred, jealousy, anger, bitterness and God knows what all else. All I know is he needs professional help and SOON!
Actually, a better screenplay would be that my peeps here in Alabama wouldn't know who he is, (probably true) fix his car, feed him a good country meal, and send him on his way.
Your post was the same stereotype that Maher used. Obviously you are not from the deep south.
Someone who makes jokes about Mississippi.
Maher, you insult your own political party.
From what I've seen in photos, the physical description you give is closest to the average member of the klan, and they're all democrats.
Nope. University of Florida.
Go Gators!
If anything, Maher is even uglier inside than out.
Maher, you insult your own political party.
From what I've seen in photos, the physical description you give is closest to the average member of the klan, and they're all democrats.
Wasn't Maher signed to do a fund-raiser for Dems in Alabama?
of course they make fun of us—they're jealous! We have the best beaches, the best food, the best college football teams, the best accents, we have a rich heritage of Spanish, French, English, and African ancestry; we have a rich heritage of churches that are STILL active and growing (they do call us the Bible Belt, and I am VERY proud of that!); we have excellent marksmen & women who can easily cling to our guns while we can just as easily recite verses from the Bible. We have a STRONG tradition of "FAMILY" down here, and we definitely take care of our neighbors. We have a patriotic spirit down here that is fierce and legendary. Let 'em poke fun at us—remember, a Yankee is someone who comes to visit; a damned yankee is someone who stays! :) I'm proud to be a Southerner, even more proud to be an American!
Alternately, after inviting him in to the house, the courteous, kind Southern folks treat him with the authentic hospitality known well in that region. While waiting for a wrecker to get his car, they share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as they dine on the satisfying comfort food fare famed in Dixie.
Bill Maher, so overcome by the genuine generosity and love of people he thought to be his "toothless" enemies, repents and is baptized for the remission of sins by a Mississippi preacher. He leaves his atheistic liberal lifestyle behind and becomes a new champion for Christian Conservatism.
That's the real Mississippi and the power of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
You're right. I've lived in the south and know their hospitality and kindness. But ol' Bill would probably go back and say that some inbred rednecks screwed up his car and tried to poison him before he escaped.
He shouldn't be called a humorist or comedian anymore..
He should be called what he is.... "A DEMOCRAT"...
He is indeed JAmes Carville without the charisma..
Toothless? Isn't that one of Maher's old girlfriends? The one he use to smack around?
We've really entered a bizarro world when Rosanne Barr is the voice of reason!
Brainless Bill Blows Bigtime!
This ever classy, waste of otherwise valuable protoplasm and pathetic excuse for a life form is seen here whacked out on a large quantity of booze and/or exotic chemicals in his Halloween, 2007 STEVE IRWIN get-up! Bill Maher: Giving SCHMUCKS and MORONS a bad name for 20 years!!
maher insults the human race every time he inhales.
That's kinda like David Crosby calling you up and saying, "Dude! You've really let yourself go!".
Is anyone REALLY surprised by this?? Maher is a media elite who still thinks all southerners chew hay straws and walk around in overalls.
Don't forget that, a few years ago, CBS was planning a "reality" TV show in which they would find some gen-u-wine "hillbillies" and plop them into a mansion in Beverly Hills a la "The Beverly Hillbillies". Sounds like a real yuckfest.
Liberals are the most disgusting, elitist pigs around and everything they do just confirms how much lower they are willing to go. So far, they have hit rock bottom and have brought in heavy equipment to dig the hole deeper!
Maher's "shot" may not be cheap. Real people are getting angry enough so that Maher and his ilk should probably stay in the bluest locations they can find.
I'm from Alabama and I grew up around several simple dirt farmers that displayed far more wisdom than Maher has ever exuded.
When I hear the term "mindless moron", a mental picture of Maher now flashes into my head.
Bill Maher insults anyone with a functional connection between two neurons just by his existence. He should be devoutly ignored.
I'd like to spit some beachnut in that dude's eye.

The Marshall Space Flight Center is in Alabama. This was Wernher Von Braun's facility which built the Saturn rocket.
Here is the Saturn V first stage being assembled at the Michoud Assembly facility in New Orleans, LA.
The Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. When Tom Hanks had a problem, did he call Hollywood? No, he called Houston. And they fixed it.
Yankees are amazed at what a world-class city Huntsville has become in such a short time. It wasn't too many decades ago that nearby Decatur was the dominant city and "Huntspatch" was just a town.
There are great recreational areas in the Mountain Lakes area and stunning vistas. Where else in the world can you find something as out of this world as the Marshall Space Flight Center and get out of this world food over at Greenbrier Bar-B-Que?
Cape Canaveral Air Force base, along with the Kennedy Space Center in the background, Titusville, Florida.
Well, to me it looks like the whole gulf coast is well represented in the space program, from the early 1960s on. As for Hollywood, they can only fake moon landings.

Which are the foods difficult of digestion or likely to cause distress of one kind or another? Which are the most likely to cause gas, abdominal discomfort, heartburn, regurgitation, "biliousness" or urticaria? Surely, after thousands of years of cumulative experience, we physicians should be well prepared to answer these questions which are being put to us several times a day; and yet, it does not look as if we were.
Today the average physician, when asked for advice as to diet, is likely to warn against the eating of fried or greasy or rich foods, or of foods that he himself cannot digest; or he will give a printed list, which may fit the needs of his patient about as well as the key to one door fits the lock of another.

Madras Marinade
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 2 mins
This is an ideal marinade for those who like spicy, but not so spicy it burns your face off.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons Madras curry powder (Available in most large Asian groceries)
- 8 ounces orange juice
- 1⁄4 cup minced green onion
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ginger
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon very finely minced fresh garlic
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl, or use tightly covered Tupperware and shake to mix.
- (Madras curry often comes with whole bay leaves in the jar. Don't use these in the marinade!) Adjust the amounts of curry powder and orange juice to suit your personal taste.
- Goes well with chicken, pork, or shrimp.
- The longer the meat soaks in the marinade, the stronger the flavor will be.
- Poking holes in the meat with a fork will also help the flavor soak into the meat.
- Works well on the grill, in the oven, or under the broiler.
Most Helpful
This was very tasty. I forgot to buy ginger, so I added about a tsp of mustard powder for a bite. The DH loved it. I'll be making it again.
I made this theother day and the whole family loved it. Try adding 1/4 teaspoon crushed chillis for some extra bite! Lovely.
This was wonderful despite the fact I did not have Madras curry. I used regular, a small bay leaf, and some hot sauce. I saute the marinated chicken in a skillet with red and green pepper strips and a wedged onion. Very yummy indeed!

A North Korean high school student's family is forced to move to Japan. He chooses South Korean citizenship but is enrolled in North Korean-run high school which is very strict and political. After a short time in this school he transfers to a Japanese public school where he becomes friends with a cute Japanese girl. Her parents have forbidden her to associate with Koreans and when she learns his true ethnic identity, she rejects him. A short time later she reflects on what she has done and accepts him. This film vividly depicts the complicated tensions that exist between Japanese and ethnic Koreans in Japan.

Jimmy Kimmel Asks Hillary About 2016, Gets Clinton Family Selfie Instead of Answer
It's better than nothing, sort of.
On Saturday night, Jimmy Kimmel joined Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea Clinton on stage at the Clinton Global Initiative University conference in Tempe, Arizona. And, while the late night host did his best to become the person who got Hillary to admit that she plans to run for president, he instead became the latest victim of the family's masterful 2016 question-dodging skills. During the audience question-and-answer session, a college student asked, "Ms. Clinton, if you don't represent women in politics in America as future president, then who will?"
As the crowd applauded, Kimmel attempted to go in for the kill: "That's a very good question. It looks like you have support here. And also to add to that, when you do run for president, will you use the old Clinton campaign lawn signs?" Clinton responded by saying that she was "very much concerned about the direction of our country," before launching into some stuff about "empowering young people," only to have Kimmel interrupt her with, "She wants an answer."
Alas, Clinton laughed him off, jokily asking for the girl's name and number because she admired her "attitude" and "confidence," before concluding, "I'm obviously thinking about all kinds of decisions." Kimmel then asked Hillary if the many options she was considering included having more kids with Bill. "Well, no, but I wouldn't mind one of those grandchildren I hear so much about," she said, which Kimmel later said was, "[throwing] your daughter right under the bus." Before wrapping up, Kimmel tried one more time, asking if Chelsea would "get her old room back or will you convert that into a home gym" should the Clintons end up living in the White House again. The only answer he received was laughter.
As a consolation prize, the family posed for an Oscar-style selfie with Kimmel and some conference attendees, which he posted to his Twitter. Of course, that's just how every meeting of more than two famous people ends now.

"This is a remarkable—even inspiring—book. Daniel Coyle has woven observations from brain research, behavioral research, and real-world training into a conceptual tapestry of genuine importance. What emerges is both a testament to the remarkable potential we all have to learn and perform and an indictment of any idea that our individual capacities and limitations are fixed at birth."—Dr. Robert Bjork, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Psychology, UCLA

Well, frankly, there has been a significant amount of research on the matter of human performance and the development of skill/talent. Author, Daniel Coyle, has looked at the research and he also went on a road trip to what he calls "talent hotbeds", places where great talent has been produced out of proportion to their size and perceived stature; for example, a Russian tennis club, a music school in Dallas, a soccer field in Brazil, and others.
Coyle shares what he learned in this excellent book, "The Talent Code". The Talent Code covers three basic areas:
1) Deep practice. Practice is important to world-class performance. I guess everyone knew that already, huh? Well, sometimes, it doesn't hurt to remind of everyone of the obvious. What might be a little more helpful is the understanding of "how" to practice. What constitutes "deep practice"? This is the kind of practice that separates the great from the not-so-great.
The understanding of "deep practice" involves an understanding of a substance called "myelin". Myelin is the insulation that wraps around nerve fibers. According to Coyle, myelin turns out to be a very big deal in the development of skill. Myelin is increased through deep practice and, in turn, increased myelin affects the signal strength, speed and accuracy of the electric signals traveling through nerve fibers. This increase of myelin and its effect on neurons has more to do with skill development than had previously been realized.
2) Ignition.Read more ›
"The Talent Code" by Daniel Coyle is a book on how to grow talent. The author is against the wisdom that talent is natural. The book is around the belief that talent come from Myelin. Myelin is the "insulation that wrap these nerve fibers and increases signal strength, speed, and accuracy." When the certain signal is sent down the nerve system, myelin wraps around the nerve fibre. The thicker the myelin, the better the signal. Thus, "skill is myelin insulation that wraps neural circuits and that grows according to certain signals."
The book is divided into three parts of talent growing; 1. Deep Practice 2. Ignition 3. Master Coaching
Part 1: Deep Practice
Chapter 1: The Sweet Spot
This is the first chapter to familiarise us with the deep practice. Coyle wrote about Brazilian football (soccer) and why it is the world's talent hotbed. He had an amazing story of Edwin Link and how his unusual device transformed the training of the Air Force.
Chapter 2: The Deep Practice Cell
This chapter surrounds the idea of myelin and how it might be the holy grail to talent. It is very scientific. To sum it up, "deep practice x 10,000 hours = world-class skill."
Chapter 3: The Brontës, the Z-Boys, and the Renaissance
The author started with the Brontë sisters from England in the 1850s who wrote fantastic children books. He also wrote about the group of skaters by the name of Z-Boys and the guilds during the renaissance and how they produced highly talented people.
Chapter 4: The Three Rules of Deep Practice
This chapter, Coyle gives us three rules of Deep Practicing. 1. Chunk It Up 2. Repeat It 3.Read more ›
The premise of The Talent Code is straightforward. Myelin is a neurological substance that wraps itself around neurons that are specifically engaged when we learn and practice skills The thicker the sheath of myelin around these neurons, the more hardwired and precise these skills become. The Talent Code examines teaching/learning methods that ostensibly hasten and maximize the process of myelin wrapping thereby radically increasing our ability to acquire, polish and hardwire complex skills quickly and efficiently. This, Coyle claims, is the key to greatness in sports, music and (possibly) academic learning.
Coyle attempts to illustrate and prove this theory with anecdotal rather than scientific evidence (although he often refers to scientific studies on myelin to validate his observations) that he has gleaned from his visits to "hotbeds of talent", as he calls them, around the globe where learning methods that stimulate myelin wrapping are used, producing (in a few cases anyway) inordinate numbers of exceptional athletes and musicians.
It's an interesting premise but Coyle's exploration of it is riddled with errors,fallacies, unproven claims, poor research, puzzling semantics and old ideas and concepts from other sources that Coyle has cobbled together and presented as cutting edge information. These problems are evident right out of the gate when Coyle presents his dumbed down description of the part myelin plays in skill acquisition and shows just how shaky his grasp of his subject is. Yes, myelin is important in the learning process but it's controlled and regulated by the neurochemical BDNF.Read more ›

Computer date confusion about the year 2000 is not the only problem Earth's technology is going to face when the new year rolls in. Astronomers say they're also worried about an angry sun.
In January, just as computers around the world are coping with the Y2K bug, the sun will enter the most violent and disruptive phase of its 11-year cycle.
Massive bursts of energy from the sun could mean celebrating the new millennium in the dark, with dead cellular phones. Ships and planes relying on satellites for navigation might have to haul out old-fashioned maps. Even spacewalking astronauts could be at risk, according to reports Monday at the national meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
Researchers using new techniques are forecasting the sun's cycle to peak during the months of January to April. The sun is expected to be busy with solar flares and coronal mass ejections, solar explosions that can equal a million 100 megaton hydrogen bombs.
Waves of solar energy can trigger power blackouts, block some radio communications and create phantom commands capable of sending satellites spinning out of their proper orbits.
There were two pieces of good news: The solar cycle is not expected to be as severe as some in the past, and, for the first time, there may be some warning, thanks to a government satellite that will detect bursts of solar energy and send about an hour's notice.
JoAnn Joselyn of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the warning, posted on the Internet and relayed through a special system, will give power companies time to align circuits to minimize or avoid damage from electrical surges. Satellite operators can power down equipment or prepare to send corrective signals to their spacecraft.
Scientists have plotted 23 solar cycles, using historic and modern measurements. But the current cycle may be the most disruptive ever because much of the vulnerable communications technology now in use is new and has not been exposed to maximum solar activity.
"The explosion in technology is intersecting with an extremely disturbed space environment," Joselyn said. "There is much higher risk now because we depend more on technology that is vulnerable."
Joselyn said energy bursts from the sun can cause an electrical charge to build up on the surface of satellites, triggering phantom signals.
In an earlier solar cycle, she said, small rocket thrusters on a satellite suddenly started firing, sending the spacecraft out of position. Control of another satellite was lost when its gyroscopes were disrupted.
Cellular telephones may be vulnerable because they can use the ionosphere — the region of electrically charged gases in the upper atmosphere — to send radio signals, and bursts from the sun can disturb the ionosphere. Some cellular phone systems depend on satellites that are at risk too.

Its biege Camry. Enough said
You can still autocross a stock automatic Camry, and you'll have just as much fun as you would in it modified. Leave it stock, put a nice head unit in it - even the stock speakers (6.5's in the front doors and 6x9's in the rear deck) make for solid potential for bass response with decent head unit power to them.
The 2.2 auto just sucks for anything else. 134hp with a 4spd automatic is adequate, and nothing more. It actually doesn't even make for good gas mileage because the drivetrain is just barely enough for this car, and the engine's just generally trying too hard.
It will last forever, though, and it's a pretty quiet and comfy cruiser. I got my first speeding ticket in a '99 2.2/auto Camry because it's easy to speed in without realizing it.
Sell the brodozer. Drive the camry. When your done college, sell the camry PIECE by PIECE. Make presumably quite a bit of $ , probably more than if you sold it whole (otherwise why bother?) Then buy a "nice" car

Don't go to college and take that money and mod the Camry. Get some hookers and blow too.
I would leave it stock except for putting on some good tires and maybe upgrading the suspension (if the current suspension is shot).
You are never going to make it cool, but you can at least massage better handling out of the relatively light sedan.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
Not to worry its already got the mandatory dented bumper.
She put new struts in about 6 months ago and insists that she have her timing belt and water pump replaced before she gives it to me. I told her not to worry about it and I'll pay for it. Best Gma ever.
She's 81 and in no way shape or form a GILF, just a rad Grandma.
Sell both cars and get something that offers a good combo of fun, safety, and low running costs.
Painfully boring car + want to personalize - disposable income - performance potential = hand painted psychedelic paint job!
You are in school still BUT joined Vortex/TCL in 2001.
What are you in some kind of 16yr med program or some kind of extended law school??
In that case- clean it up and even try and fix the dented bumper best you can (without spending more than 20 bucks).
It is a very nice gift, so you should treat it with some respect...
And after a few years- you can sell it for some cash since it is Camry.
Or even keep it as a daily beater after college.

I threw this re-body idea together for a cheap reliable car to mod.
There's more trouble in making it then meets the eye
but it will make the design like new and you'd pickup new skills in the process.

I had a 98....outside of gas/oil/tire replacement, I bought a head unit that can stream music off my phone, thats about it. Put gas in it and go. It'll get 30MPG highway all day, every day, at anywhere between 60-85mph. And it'll run til the end of time....
Get something else fun to drive for fun. But for DD, Camry is pretty much perfect...
VigorousZX coming out of nowhere and the subsequent replies have me dying at work.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 2005
Running Time: 112
Director: Rick Davis
Company: Baby Doll Pictures
Cast: Grant Michaels, Stacy Thorn, Daryn Lee, Melissa (I), Daphne (I), Dick Tracy, Nikki Loren, Anthony Hardwood, Nikki Hilton, Tyce Bune, Magnum (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
It's a nice extra for the wall-to-wall section, especially if Baby Doll Pictures are doing well.
Six cowgirls find cowpokes to do some cowgirl with, and some reverse cowgirl, and some doggie, and whatever else they need to do in order to get off in this routine effort. The cowgirl theme is always an interesting spin, but nothing much is done with it. One room is made up to look like a barn, but no fucking takes place there. It all happens in normal rooms on normal furniture, and it's all tepid action at best. Not even one female can leave her cowboy hat on for more than a minute. That may sound like a minor complaint, but how else is the production supposed to follow through with hot bangin' cowgirls?
On the positive side, Stacy Thorn does pony up with some anal for Tyce Bune. Nikki Hilton appears to enjoy herself in her scene with Bune that's actually somewhat high-energy, and the pair even comes through with a couple of "yee haws." Nikki Loren always looks good no matter what's going on, and Daphne, along with Anthony Hardwood, manage to pull off a passable effort.

I am going to need another tug off that bottle of Thunderbird if I am going to go down there and rescue one of those kittens said Charlie to the spare but shabby living room of the house on Silver Avenue.
Chauncy was in the room under the stairs which contained a sink, a shower and crapper. He did not hear Charlie talking nonsense about the cats because he was getting ready for his evening shift at the steakhouse. Chauncy was frantically trying to coax chicken fat stains out of his black trousers with a toothbrush and a bottle of Florida Water.
The others were in the first-floor bedroom, across from all of that. They couldn't hear Charlie either. Michael was smoking dirt weed out of a pipe he had carved from an apple, reclining like royalty on the bed while his stunned girlfriend Sherri sat in the corner picking glitter out of her hair and counting Jeffersons. They moved in last week and Charlie knew them about as well as any of the other punk rockers from across the street.
Charlie looked around and realized he was speaking to empty space, chatting with the void. He got up and dragged himself to the kitchen. Tim Lodgeson was in there cooking a chicken in the microwave. He had the whole thing in the oven for ten minutes while the two of them sat around jawing about school. Charlie couldn't make heads or tails of what Lodgeson told him. It was something about forests and capitalism.
When the meat came out it was gray. It had the appearance of plastic. Tim took the bird and skewered it with a big silver serving fork he had taken from the cafeteria last semester, around Thanksgiving. He started gnawing on the chicken as if he had not eaten for a week, like he had conquered a small but vicious dinosaur with teeth and technology.
Charlie excused himself politely, gagged and walked out onto the back porch. He could hear the kittens in the basement mewling for their mother. The hell with the Thunderbird, he thought, I sure would like a new pet cat. Further reasoning that such an outcome would be a pleasant surprise for his girlfriend, he sauntered down the stairs and into the darkness.
He felt his way around for a bit until he could reach out and pull on the chain that turned on the light bulb in the middle of basement. Sure enough, there was a litter of cats in the basement. Their mother was nowhere to be seen. Charlie crept over to snatch up a tiny calico.
An eruption of teeth and fur and hair and blood coincided with that action as the hidden mother pounced. The living fury would not come off him, though he clawed and clawed at it. He retreated and was filled up with a queasy combination of shame and horror. The damn thing finally let up when he got to the door, lunging for the knob and hitting his head on the concrete as he fell toward the yard.
Back inside of the house on Silver Avenue, Michael and Sherri had crept out their room and were watching Hee Haw in the big front room. Chauncy was in the kitchen critiquing Tim's culinary procedures as he attempted to saw a leg off of what was left of the poultry experiment. Chauncy was dressed for work now. He looked like a million bucks and was being awfully careful not to get any schmaltz on his waiter's uniform as he danced around Tim's meaty methodologies.
As the two went on and on about the wonders of microwave cooking and with the mellow sounds of George Jones drifting through the whole place, Charlie entered from the porch. He asked for a wet towel and wondered aloud where his bottle of wine might have gotten to. Saturday night had just begun.

"Look toward the future." This saying has been engraved in my mind since ... well, since the beginning. I've been told by my parents, teachers, advisors, bosses, nearly everyone to strive for what's ahead, to keep on pushing forward. I realize this is a common theme in society. I'm sure most people have had at least a few anxiety attacks in the middle of the night concerning that overbearing word: "future".
I'll admit I'm slightly terrified by its presence. However, my perspective is shifting. I graduate from high school next month and suddenly, the world seems to be spinning multitudes faster than it used to. What happened to barely keeping my eyes open in first-period calculus? Or lugging around a backpack that felt like it was full of anvils? Now, I'm being thrown a diploma and told to go off into the real world, leaving this part of my life behind. Granted, graduating from high school is an accomplishment I'm proud of and while I had a great time overall, I cannot wait to throw my cap in the air while ironically performing a "High School Musical" signature jump. In the grand spectrum, these past four years account for a minuscule portion of my life. That isn't to say they weren't important, but there is so much more to experience and learn outside of the state-required curriculum.
But then here it comes again: the future spurning an existential crisis on my exhausted brain. Between worrying about what college will be like to what sort of chips to buy for my graduation party, my head is filled to the brim with anticipating the undeniable future. Perhaps the most frightening part is that in approximately four months, I will be moving over 2000 miles away to Boston.
That single fact awoke an urge to stop focusing primarily on the future and to really enjoy what I have right now. While moving and running toward reality is exciting, I also know I have to make an effort to really soak up all that's around me right now. Boston will present me with some amazing adventures, but what about the adventures that are yet to be had here?
So, Alibi reader, welcome to "Blair rediscovers ABQ" (I'm sure I'll come up with a catchier title later). Given the opportunity to blog for the Alibi, I hope to not only find new things about this beloved desert city that I never knew existed, but also let you know about them. This place has so much to offer and before I leave, I want to be able to say, "I know Albuquerque," and share my newfound knowledge. Before Boston, diplomas, packing all my stuff into not-so-neat little boxes; before my life turns upside down, I want to explore my home to the absolute fullest during the last summer I have the privilege to call it that.
Thus begins the Albuquerque adventures. Next stop: Food trucks.
I learn that my fiancee is only 17. She was able to finish college, where I met her, at such a young age because she "worked all the examples."
I am back in college, visiting two girls (Reese Witherspoon and Lara Flynn Boyle.) L is very tall and smells good. A guy named Kenny sits on the floor fixing a fish tank for them. We shake hands awkwardly. We all take a walk down the street, two by two, me with L. We are in downtown Denver. We cross the street. L suddenly has an idea and we return home. I give R a "chicken" crochet sweater. She seems to love it and puts it on over the sweater she's wearing. We discuss her "color." She lets on that she knows about my painting method. She gives me a white, gaudy leather jacket with appliqued colored trinkets. I try it on. It is very stiff and my hands don't seem to fit through the sleeve holes. I do some Russian accent shtick, rather unfunny, with my brother. He pulls on my hand, but pulls me forward and I fall over the couch.

HourlyLess than 30 hrs/week
Start DateMarch 11, 2013
Hi there,
One of my clients is looking at setting up a base in Malaysia.
To help support them one of my team will be going over to Malaysia.
I would like to find out what support services are available.
Person would need to assist with normal office support and also to attend some
business meetings to act as a translator (translating to English).
Some assistance would also be required in helping with identifying
a) place to live
b) place to shop
c) place for clean / laundry etc.
Any assistance along these lines would be ideal.
Suspect that this would be a multi-phase project so ideally the same person
over a period of time would be beneficial, however open to a group.
Some work will be required before staff get to Malaysia with most work
occuring after arrival.
Preperation work (virtual assistant) expected to commence late March
early April 2013. Would anticipate this would be about 20 hours of work in total.
Arrival expected Mid April to early May 2013 (dependent on preperation work) -
would anticipate 10 - 20 hours per week.

The Lenovo
IdeaCenter D400 home server is intended to host and store digital
content on a home network like photos, video, and music from multiple
computers. The D400 supports up to 8TB of storage cobbled together
from different types and capacity hard drives. Other features of the
D400 include quintet of USB ports and an eSATA port for external
storage. The D400 will start at $499.
Lenovo also unveiled the
IdeaCenter Q100 and its big brother the Q110 nettops. The main
difference between the two is that the Q110 sports some NVIDIA Ion
action. Both of the nettops cram their hardware into the same 6 x 6.3
x 0.7 inch chassis and run Atom 230 CPUs, 1GB of RAM for the Q100 and
2GB of RAM for the Q110, 160GB of HDD storage for the Q100 and the
Q110 gets 250GB.
The Q100 runs Windows XP and only sucks down
14 watts of power when idle and 40 watts at full load. The Q110 runs
Windows Vista and has an HDMI out for connecting to your big screen.
The Q100 will sell for about $249, the Q110 will sell for $349, and
they should ship in September.
Lenovo also pulled the wraps
off an IdeaCenter Q700 multimedia system that is described as a
DVD-like home theater PC. The machine promises connectivity for
cameras, smartphones, and other devices allowing the video stored on
them to be seen in HD on the big TV. The machine sports Intel Core 2
Duo CPUs and up to 1TB of storage.
quote: quote: I need to upgrade it though because the 330 can't keep up with full screen flash. For the person who wants a capable system that uses very little power, the ION/330 combo is the best.

Here's a weird surprise: The most illegally downloaded movie of the week? It's not Iron Man 2, which makes its debut in the chart at #2, behind another new entry… One that wasn't actually that big a hit at the box office.
Ridley Scott's Robin Hood was, somewhat surreally, the most bootlegged movie of the week, according to TorrentFreak's regular top 10 chart (A DVD screener-rip of The Expendables falls from last week's top spot to #3). I'm puzzled as to what lessons can be taken from this: Was there a hidden audience desire to see this movie in theaters that was defeated by ticket prices ("I want to see it, but not enough to pay for it")? Are Iron Man 2's fans waiting to actually buy the DVD legally? Did everyone think they were downloading something else…?
Robin Hood has more appeal to a general population than Iron Man 2, and those who download illegally have probably already seen Iron Man 2.
I wanted to see Robin Hood, but not enough to pay for it. Which means I'll just wait 'til it's on network TV.
Robin Hood CLEANED UP overseas, and still grossed over $100 million in the US, so it's not that surprising, really.
Maybe they thought they were downloading the Kevin Costner film.
Actually the reasons in the article are exactly why I'd probably get Robin Hood bootleg and wait on Iron Man 2. Iron Man 2 is only gonna be worth it for the special features because the movie blew but at least Robin Hood sounds kinda spectacularly bad. I'm just not about to admit I wanna see it to anyone other than a crackhead.
And we know that these results on ILLEGAL downloadings are correct, how…?
I saw iron man 2, it was nothing compared to the origanal movie…

I ran across this aricle today: http://www.vnunet.com/news/1160755 about the British Computing Society encouraging UK researchers to investigate implementing more human-like behavior in computers. The article talks some about cognitive processing, invesitgating mental disorders and intelligent robots.
But, surprisingly, speech was not mentioned. I personally think that speech is the next natural interface with computers. But does natural equal human-like? In my opinion, yes. But not as the current technology stands. I think that in order for people to use speech widely on desktop systems that they want an interaction that rivals that of speaking to a human - more on the lines of semantic interpretation. We need to make speech be exciting for a user, to provide some value. An alternate way of typing is novel, but not that thrilling - especially given that typing is taught to most students in high school or younger. For persons with RSI or some other disability, I realize that dictation (good dictation and command and control) may be enough. But, for the other users, they want more - they want to accomplish something that they can't do otherwise, or accomplish something in a faster, more natural way. Currently, I don't think there's any SR system on the market that allows for this sort of experience.
I think we are coming close in embedded applications, but we are limited by memory. I've seen academic demos of some really amazing applications that do add value to the end user - online recognition and translation for example. Things like controlling smart homes are intriguing as well. I know that when I'm laying on the couch I would love to just be able to say "set temperature to 68 degrees" and have it work. Save me some work and I'll use SR for everything. That's the message I'm getting from most non-impaired users.

Product Description
The Sign of the Cross (1932) is quintessential De Mille, now famous for its pre-Code (i.e. pre-censorship) scene of peep-show nudity as Claudette Colbert (playing Poppaea, wife of Charles Laughton's Roman emperor Nero) takes a tantalizing bath in goat's milk, daring DVD viewers to freeze-frame "the naughty bits" while Roman prefect Marcus (Frederic March) struggles to reconcile his loyalty to Rome with his forbidden love for the Christian maiden Mercia (Elissa Landi), who's destined for the lion's den. Full of outrageous spectacle (including dwarves in the Roman arena), this blood-and-guts epic is pure De Mille compared to the more conventionally formulaic adventure of Four Frightened People (1934), also starring Colbert as one of the four titular characters shipwrecked on a remote Malay island (filmed at Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, in Hawaii) and forced to fend for themselves. It's a stodgy but frequently amusing adventure, with Colbert's uptight schoolmarm growing sexier and less inhibited with each passing scene. Colbert returns (De Mille obviously adored her) in the title role of Cleopatra (1934), easily seducing Marc Antony (played by De Mille favorite Henry Wilcoxon) in a film as lavishly appointed as it is melodramatically extreme. Wilcoxon pairs with Loretta Young in The Crusades (1935) with De Mille once again mixing piety with prurience in a religious epic that promises plenty of sex but, in classic De Mille fashion, remains steadfastly chaste. Union Pacific (from Hollywood's golden year of 1939) is a grandly entertaining Western that mangles history (specifically, events surrounding construction of the transcontinental railroad) while casting gunslingers Joel McCrea and Robert Preston in a contest for Barbara Stanwyck's affections.
Choosing a favorite among these five films is purely a matter of personal taste, but for all of his weaknesses as a director (not the least being a condescending and self-righteous arrogance toward his audience), De Mille was never, ever boring. These films helped to make Paramount the most profitable studio of the 1930s, and they hold up remarkably well. Despite the complete absence of bonus features (Universal once again taking the low-cost option with no-frills packaging), each film is presented in pristine or near-pristine condition, ripe for first-time viewing or nostalgic rediscovery by vintage film buffs everywhere.--Jeff Shannon

Measurement Uncertainty in Chemical Analysis / Edition 1by Paul De Bievre
Pub. Date: 01/17/2003
Publisher: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
It is now becoming recognized in the measurement community that it is as important to communicate the uncertainty related to a specific measurement as it is to report the measurement itself.

It is now becoming recognized in the measurement community that it is as important to communicate the uncertainty related to a specific measurement as it is to report the measurement itself. Without knowing the uncertainty, it is impossible for the users of the result to know what confidence can be placed in it; it is also impossible to assess the comparability of different measurements of the same parameter. This volume collects 20 outstanding papers on the topic, mostly published from 1999-2002 in the journal "Accreditation and Quality Assurance." They provide the rationale for why it is important to evaluate and report the uncertainty of a result in a consistent manner. They also describe the concept of uncertainty, the methodology for evaluating uncertainty, and the advantages of using suitable reference materials. Finally, the benefits to both the analytical laboratory and the user of the results are considered.

Legendary Pitcher Juan Marichal
Robert Siegel talks with one of the greatest right-handed pitchers ever to play in the big leagues, Hall of Famer Juan Marichal, of the Dominican Republic. Marichal, who played for the San Francisco Giants in the 1960s, was known for a huge windup kick — he nearly touched his foot to his forehead before releasing the ball.
Currently, Marichal is in Washington, D.C., to accept a Hispanic Heritage Award from the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. He is also featured in a new documentary about Dominican major leaguers, The Republic of Baseball.

Hannah House, a non-profit organization that helps North Philadelphian women break free from the cycle of poverty, drug addiction, and incarceration, held a fundraiser at Lloyd Hall at Boathouse Row on Thursday, July 24th. The theme of the party, "Buenos Noches", meant that cigar smoke and the rhythms of the Cuban band, Conjunto 23, swirled around in the sunshine until after 9pm. If you're so inclined, it's www.hannahhousephilly.org to volunteer.
The Alliance Francaise held a Bastille Day fete at the new National Constitution Center at 6th and Arch Streets on, yes, Bastille Day. Many guests wore red, white, and blue – no stars, just stripes, and sipped 1997 Chateau Lynch-Bages and nibbled at the delightful feast put on by Max and Me caterers. Though it was a Monday night, the continental spirit got people out onto the dance floor, swinging to Eddie Bruce's band, stellar as usual.
To celebrate the kick-off of the Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the director and stars of the film Latter Days gathered for a pre-screening party. Jacqueline Bisset, one of the movie's stars, was on hand to introduce the cast at the theater later in the evening.
The Global Interdepence tk held its annual dinner at the Four Seasons. Since they put it so eloquently, this is their story: "The GIC is a non-profit organization that recognizes the increasing economic and political interdependence of nations. GIC is committed to the expansion of global trade, believing investment and finance in a sustainable free trade environment is a positive instrument for reducing international tensions and improving worldwide living standards." Oh. Is that all?
Panorama restaurant hosted an informal wine tasting and buffet for their most loyal and longtime patrons.

Goins snaps tulip's best side
Published: Friday, April 30, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 8:04 p.m.
With 87 entries to choose from in the seventh annual Tulip Extravaganza Photography Contest, judges had their work cut out for them, said Barbara Hughes, owner of Narnia Studios and sponsor of the event. The overall winner is Ron Goins of Hendersonville, whose photograph of intense red dutch tulips in front of the Hendersonville City Hall as a backdrop created an unusual and dramatic perspective.
"The beautiful red color and the stone background of City Hall gave me a perfect opportunity to try a new lens," Goins said. The photograph will be on display at Narnia Studios through May 15.
"Because of the temporal nature of the tulips, we are looking for a way to preserve the beauty for marketing downtown while including the public in celebrating their ephemeral nature," Hughes said.
For more information about the contest, call Hughes at 828-697-6393.

Healthcare Firms: Travelers Hunt Summer Nursing and Therapy Jobs
Staffing consultants and job boards are lighting up now with more opportunities than lighting bugs in a mason jar! The days are lasting longer and travel nurses are fitting more outdoor activities in their time after work. They're motivated to find ideal nursing and therapy jobs—ones that will carry them into the summer. That's why it's important to post your job openings now, with a trusted name in healthcare staffing. Our recruiters work closely with each candidate, bringing talent and clinical expertise to your hospitals, outpatient centers and skilled nursing facilities.
Says Debbie Bacurin, RN, Clinical Account Manager at American Traveler, "We are seeing a lot of early postings from Maine to Georgia—in Wisconsin and Michigan, too.
