In a whirlwind of a week I taught 60+ middle school students about how to look at and find personal meaning in cultural and contemporary artwork such as Rashid Johnson and Sanford Biggers, attended a lecture by Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, and spent time touring a local art collector's home.
This reminded me of Kentucky Governor's School for the Arts when I was a high school junior. At the culminating event I displayed my African-inspired terra cotta bas relief. My artwork caught the attention of local artists Shahid and Judyie Al-Bilali. Shahid worked as an artist, carpenter and set designer. Judyie was a performer and playwright. She also taught drama at GSA that summer. The Al-Bilalis started a local collective called the Homecoming Festival and sometimes hired me to visit local artists' studios, write about their work, and contribute my personal writing to their publication. I spent some of my after school hours in their home having discussions, listening to music, and digging through their collection of literature. I was also invited to participate in Judyie's plays. Being so young and having this opportunity laid a foundation for what was to come. Today, I am an arts writer and my Ph.D. research is a continuation of what I learned in high school.
I attended the weekly discussion of the Smoke School of Art (SSA), an Atlanta based nonprofit think tank that discusses and addresses contemporary philosophy and issues in modern art & culture. Many of these artists attended the Thelma Golden lecture, Rashid Johnson's exhibition, Message to Our Folks, and even the Sanford Biggers lecture at Emory that I covered for Art21. Sanford Biggers: Contemporary Mandala and the Hip-Hop Ethos began a two-year conversation with Sanford and representatives from different fields and institutions, from ethno-mathematician Ron Eglash at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to the National Science Foundation, the Smithsonian, Art as a Way of Knowing at the Exploratorium, Art of Science Learning, and Historic Westside Cultural Arts Council. I attended symposia at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), American Educational Research Association (AERA) and the Network for Sciences, Engineering, Arts, and Design (SEAD).
My aim is to seek potential collaborators, or contributors to investigate how cultural arts and technology can lead to an increase in representation in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) fields among ethnic groups who as studies show are increasingly disengaged. Another goal I have is to test a model for culturally situated, arts-based learning and practice that can be used in a variety of settings such as schools and community-based art/media centers.
Imagine a dynamic infrastructure (network, platform) to support this or similar work, with professional artists and their communities to academia, K-12 education, nonprofits and cultural institutions. The notion that art is a luxury and innovation is for a privileged few is status quo (in some circles) but it's not the truth. There are many examples of creative communities of practice engaged in the action of innovating, as well as historical institutions like the Studio Museum in Harlem advocating for artists and their work. This knowledge can no longer exist solely in silos. As traditional structures fall apart there is an opportunity to build bridges and support creative and innovative work.

Skip to comments.Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem (6/24/12)[Prayer]
Posted on 06/24/2012 5:04:34 AM PDT by left that other site
I was involved some time ago in pressuring for a delay in the loan of the cylinder to Iran from the English Museum. Reason: to prevent it's destruction.
The Iranian Mullahs have a history of destroying artifacts that dispute their "faith". They in fact used the cylinder for propaganda purposes to promote Islam. (Surprise?)
They never mention Cyrus freeing the Jews. The cylinder reflects what is written in the Bible related to Cyrus and freeing the Jews from Babalyonian Captivity. And the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple as foretold in the Bible. Mentioning Cyrus specifically by name.
Here is a good article about the subject:
March 7, 2012
Cyrus, Ahmadinejad, and the Politics of Purim
By Alex Joffe
Acts: Then and Now The First and the Last
music for you by Ted Pearce at the end of the video but I really think you will enjoy and be blessed by the entire video :)
The battle is still raging and the most powerful weapon will be used until ordered to cease.
Psalm 94
God the Avenger of the Righteous
1 O Lord, you God of vengeance,
you God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth;
give to the proud what they deserve!
3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the stranger,
they murder the orphan,
7 and they say, The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.
8 Understand, O dullest of the people;
fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who disciplines the nations,
he who teaches knowledge to humankind,
does he not chastise?
11 The Lord knows our thoughts,*
that they are but an empty breath.
12 Happy are those whom you discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
13 giving them respite from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
15 for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
18 When I thought, My foot is slipping,
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who contrive mischief by statute?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He will repay them for their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.
Heavenly Father may you continue to bring an overwhelming, crushing defeat on the forces of darkness in our nation, may you smash every crooked deed as they try to hold onto power and may this be so convincing that everyone knows that your hand is in this. Then we may bring the light of your Gospel to the nations as you did this time in history:
May you block and undo every policy and piece of legislation they have passed that is harmful to this nation. May you make every policy they make fail and may you turn the hearts of the multitudes against them. May you thwart every evil deed they try to divide this nation. May you bring their own mischief upon them ten fold. This day we shatter the clay jar of Jeremiah 19 in their faces. May you punish those in our government who are lawless traitors and also enemies of Israel by exposing them and deliver them into our hands for justice
And this we humbly ask in Jesus name.
Psalm 37
Exhortation to Patience and Trust
Of David.
1 Do not fret because of the wicked;
do not be envious of wrongdoers,
2 for they will soon fade like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so you will live in the land, and enjoy security.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
6 He will make your vindication shine like the light,
and the justice of your cause like the noonday.
7 Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices.
8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath.
Do not fretit leads only to evil.
9 For the wicked shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look diligently for their place, they will not be there.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land,
and delight in abundant prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous,
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that their day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to kill those who walk uprightly;
15 their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.
16 Better is a little that the righteous person has
than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous.
18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
and their heritage will abide for ever;
19 they are not put to shame in evil times,
in the days of famine they have abundance.
20 But the wicked perish,
and the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures;
they vanishlike smoke they vanish away.
21 The wicked borrow, and do not pay back,
but the righteous are generous and keep giving;
22 for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land,
but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 Our steps* are made firm by the Lord,
when he delights in our* way;
24 though we stumble,* we* shall not fall headlong,
for the Lord holds us* by the hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
26 They are ever giving liberally and lending,
and their children become a blessing.
27 Depart from evil, and do good;
so you shall abide for ever.
28 For the Lord loves justice;
he will not forsake his faithful ones.
The righteous shall be kept safe for ever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
and live in it for ever.
30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,
and their tongues speak justice.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;
their steps do not slip.
32 The wicked watch for the righteous,
and seek to kill them.
33 The Lord will not abandon them to their power,
or let them be condemned when they are brought to trial.
34 Wait for the Lord, and keep to his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land;
you will look on the destruction of the wicked.
35 I have seen the wicked oppressing,
and towering like a cedar of Lebanon.*
36 Again I* passed by, and they were no more;
though I sought them, they could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless, and behold the upright,
for there is posterity for the peaceable.
38 But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;
the posterity of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
he is their refuge in the time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and rescues them;
he rescues them from the wicked, and saves them,
because they take refuge.
Change is coming.
2 Kings 11
Athaliah Reigns over Judah
11Now when Athaliah, Ahaziahs mother, saw that her son was dead, she set about to destroy all the royal family. 2But Jehosheba, King Jorams daughter, Ahaziahs sister, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the kings children who were about to be killed; she put* him and his nurse in a bedroom. Thus she* hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not killed; 3he remained with her for six years, hidden in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
Jehoiada Anoints the Child Joash
4 But in the seventh year Jehoiada summoned the captains of the Carites and of the guards and had them come to him in the house of the Lord. He made a covenant with them and put them under oath in the house of the Lord; then he showed them the kings son. 5He commanded them, This is what you are to do: one-third of you, those who go off duty on the sabbath and guard the kings house 6(another third being at the gate Sur and a third at the gate behind the guards), shall guard the palace; 7and your two divisions that come on duty in force on the sabbath and guard the house of the Lord * 8shall surround the king, each with weapons in hand; and whoever approaches the ranks is to be killed. Be with the king in his comings and goings.
9 The captains did according to all that the priest Jehoiada commanded; each brought his men who were to go off duty on the sabbath, with those who were to come on duty on the sabbath, and came to the priest Jehoiada. 10The priest delivered to the captains the spears and shields that had been King Davids, which were in the house of the Lord; 11the guards stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the south side of the house to the north side of the house, around the altar and the house, to guard the king on every side. 12Then he brought out the kings son, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant;* they proclaimed him king, and anointed him; they clapped their hands and shouted, Long live the king!
Death of Athaliah
13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she went into the house of the Lord to the people; 14when she looked, there was the king standing by the pillar, according to custom, with the captains and the trumpeters beside the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, Treason! Treason! 15Then the priest Jehoiada commanded the captains who were set over the army, Bring her out between the ranks, and kill with the sword anyone who follows her. For the priest said, Let her not be killed in the house of the Lord. 16So they laid hands on her; she went through the horses entrance to the kings house, and there she was put to death.
17 Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and people, that they should be the Lords people; also between the king and the people. 18Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and tore it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces, and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altars. The priest posted guards over the house of the Lord. 19He took the captains, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land; then they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, marching through the gate of the guards to the kings house. He took his seat on the throne of the kings. 20So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been killed with the sword at the kings house.
21 *Jehoash* was seven years old when he began to reign.
(Thank you, Conor, for your continuing prayers!)

Does anyone know if there is a plugin to create a quiz that will total up the answers and give you a result in one of 4 categories?
Specifically, I'm looking to add one of those "Which Animal Are You?" or "Which Celebrity Are Most Like?" quizes to my site.
So, I'm assuming, each question would have one of 4 values, then at the end, you would add up all the 1's... all the 2's... etc. and then display the category with the highest total.
Is there already a plugin to do that?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a private page that can only be accessed by direct link.
I am thinking that I want to use private post with a Category of something like "Private Post"
But, I am wondering if this is a Rube Goldberg type complicated way to do something that should be easy.
I want to make sure that the Meta category data at the bottom of my standard template posts do not appear so that someone could not click the "Private Post" category and see ALL of the posts in the "Private Post" category.
So, I am thinking I need to use a conditional tag that can recognize that the post is in the "Private Post" category then use a different template for that post.
That seems pretty complicated a way to do things but looking through the Codex I can't find an easier way.
So, what is the easiest way to:
1) Make a private post that can only be accessed by direct link or typing URL into browser
2) Will NOT display any category information at the bottom of the post
3) Will not appear in any Category links or through the Search button
Thanks in advance for all of your help.

TV's Best of the Decade: No. 2 -- 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart'
From the 2000 election to 9/11 to the rise of Barack Obama, Stewart was the pulse of a wisecracking nation
As further proof that serendipity is steering this chronicle, FOX decided to air a dreadful little comedy called "The Benchwarmers" on the eve of the posting of No. 2 on my list of TV's Best of the Decade.
Released in 2006, "The Benchwarmers" is every bit as bad as you'd assume that a movie starring Rob Schneider, David Spade and Jon Heder would be and, at times, it's actually a bit worse.
Now in "The Benchwarmers," the villain is the script. Wait. No. Let me start over again. In "The Benchwarmers," the villain is an obnoxious overgrown frat boy named Jerry. And Jerry is played by Craig Kilborn.
Kilborn is predictably smug and sarcastic, but he's no worse than anything else in the film and no worse than he was playing similar character types in "Old School," which many people quite enjoy, and "The Shaggy Dog," which nobody enjoyed, at least not in its Tim Allen incarnation.
As I passed by "The Benchwarmers" and continued hastily across the dial (sadly, I'd actually seen the movie previously and thus didn't need to relive it), this nightmare scenario arose in my brain:
It's March 20, 2003. American (and a small assortment of international) forces have just begun their campaign of "shock and awe" against the Iraqi military. The country has effectively begun a war against a foreign nation that never attacked us on the basis of what would turn out to be faulty and sometimes fraudulent intelligence. The politics are neither here nor there, though. Let's just leave it as this: We're at war. Again.
Having watched hours of coverage on CNN, heard the opinions from the talking heads and tried making sense of the night-vision footage from the Middle East, you turn to your favorite fake news show to get a spin on the events at hand. You turn to Comedy Central. You turn to "The Daily Show."
And there... providing your regular dose of humor and relief in this stressful time... is Mr. Craig Kilborn.
I almost don't need to write another word to explain why "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" is No. 2 on my list of TV's Best of the Decade.
[I will, though, write more words. Worry not. After the break...]
An assortment of social thinkers -- including Joseph de Maistre and Alexis de Tocqueville -- are credited with the observation that "The people get the government they deserve." No great social thinker has ever been credited with the observation that the people also get "The Daily Show" they deserve, or at least the "Daily Show" they require.
I may have begun this essay by mocking Craig Kilborn, but that shouldn't be taken to mean that "The Daily Show with Craig Kilborn" was not a good show. It was glib and snarky and mostly politically unengaged, but it was also funny and I still miss the "Five Questions" segment that Kilborn took with him upon his departure.
"The Daily Show" with Craig Kilborn was the perfect "Daily Show" for the two years that it ran, beginning in 1996. Kilborn's low-impact brand of humor was aces for the middle years of the Bill Clinton administration, when the economy was strong and Clinton was a beloved president first and an occasional easy punchline second.
I would say "It's no coincidence that Craig Kilborn's run as 'Daily Show' host ended on Dec. 17, 1998, just two days before Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives," but that would be a lie.
It was a complete and total coincidence that Kilborn left to go replace Tom Snyder on "The Late Late Show" at what could be seen as an easy transition point for topical humor. But it was a nice coincidence.
The first episode of the rechristened "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" aired on Jan. 11, 1999. The changeover in substance came quickly. Suddenly, the opening monologue became a discussion of the day's news and information, rather than a "Weekend Update"-style zip through headlines serious and frivolous alike. In the Kilborn years, the remote segments were usually "Mock the yokels" investigations of the silly and mundane, but under Stewart the "Mock the yokels" pieces seemed to have more of an edge, trying to find a different angle beyond "People in small towns are superstitious and stupid." The changeover wasn't instantaneous, but it was fast enough.
Both because it impacts the timing of this article and because it's true, it's best to say that "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" hit its stride during the 2000 election, both in primary and convention coverage, but even moreso in the handling over the election and its increasingly ridiculous aftermath. The series had already dubbed that coverage "Indecision 2000" before the national indecision (or Florida's indecision) became the focus of everybody's coverage. It was just the first of many times in the decade that the show that was meant to be mocking and echoing the legitimate news gathering organizations found itself ahead-of-the-curve on the tone of the news, if not the news itself.
How would Craig Kilborn's "Daily Show" have covered the 2000 election debacle? Fortunately we never needed to know, but it's just my casual hunch that whatever they did wouldn't have earned a Peabody Award.
It turned out that what the Aughts required was a serious Fake Newsman, the Edward R. Murrow of Fake Newsmen, the Walter Cronkite of Fake Anchors. We needed a "Daily Show" host who was utterly sincere in his fraudulence and completely trustworthy in his prevarications. In Stewart, the show got those attributes and more. Because that's what the decade required, Comedy Central also got a younger, more Jewish Howard Beale. And at times in the Aughts, we really just needed somebody to get mad as hell, which Jon Stewart was more than willing to do.
Most decades probably have roughly the same number of news-gathering days (varied slightly be the number of Leap Years, I guess), but the Aughts felt like possibly the Newsiest Decade Ever (tm). Part of that stems from a proliferation of news regurgitating apparatuses unequalled in human history. But it's also just possible that a lot of stuff happened.
We began with the 2000 election and its subsequent chaos. We had a war being staged on two fronts. There was a 2004 election that was heated and contentious, even if the results were properly determined on election night. We had an economic downturn, epic corporate malfeasance and the fall-out from the protracted nature of those two wars. We had a 2008 election that featured both historic primaries, but then an unprecedented election and then we've had a year of fall-out and increased frustration and rancor in the aftermath of that election. And "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" treated each of those events with increased legitimacy and with a grouping news-gathering operation.
I didn't mention it in the timeline, but 9/11/01 was the defining event of the decade. It wasn't an event that lent itself to humor, but it turned out to be an event that lent itself to Stewart and his strengths. "The Daily Show" returned on September 20, 2001 and Stewart's opening monologue was, for me at least, the great entertainment reaction to a tragedy that left the entire nation unsure how to respond. He wasn't the first to do it, but he might have been the best. It's only 9-minutes and I could write a whole addition essay just on that, it's so honest and forthright. Like the 2000 election, it was another instance where people realized that "The Daily Show" didn't need to only be a comedy series.
There was a year that the Television Critics Association gave "The Daily Show" our prize for News & Information, an award usually given to things like "Frontline" and "60 Minutes." Stewart couldn't make the awards presentation, but he sent in a taped message chiding us and reminding us that "The Daily Show" is a fake news show. During the 2004 and 2008 elections, could you really tell the difference? "The Daily Show" had people on the ground in every state conducting polls and interviews, while each of the candidates had to sit opposite Stewart at some point, some multiple times. The show itself may have been fake, but the news being generated on "The Daily Show" was every bit as real and substantive as what CNN and Fox News were doing, though you could take that as an indictment on the more legitimate news agencies, but why would you need to? Just because Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell weren't technically real journalists and just because they were technically playing roles, the interviews they got and the field reports they filed offered more insight than what jaded correspondents with 20 years experience were sending back.
The media started to report on statistics suggesting that for more and more young viewers, "The Daily Show" was becoming a primary news source, rather than a secondary interpretive news source. This outraged newspapers and network anchors clinging to their legitimacy, but it also outraged Stewart and the "Daily Show" team, who were just as determinedly clinging to their illegitimacy. You can't mock The Man if you've become The Man yourself.
Perhaps that's why, in the aftermath of Obama's election, "The Daily Show" has slipped more and more into a mode of critiquing other news organizations, rather than necessarily focusing on the news so completely. It's a greater differentiator if "The Daily Show" is mostly a watchdog for Fox News and CNBC and MSNBC (and occasionally CNN) than if the show is out trying to crack the same news. And as media watchdog, "The Daily Show" has begun to enact its own tangible change, even earning an entirely empty apology from Fox News after catching the network in an editing fabrication earlier this fall. Stewart's crusades against shoddy journalism have become increasingly angry and have spawned some of the show's most devastating research work, compiling elaborate montages of deception. In presenting these lethal clip packages, Stewart can almost be the straight man many nights, just raising an eyebrow and letting reality speak for itself. That's been one of Stewart's greatest strengths, letting the news damn the news.
Much has been made over the years of Stewart and the show's liberal bias, as if that were somehow relevant. If Fox News can claim that 75 percent of its programming isn't actually news and therefore isn't required to adhere to any standards of objectivity, it's hard to know who would expect objectivity from comedy. Also, complaining that "The Daily Show" has a liberal bias is so clearly missing the point of Stewart's persona and what he's achieved on the show.
Stewart's bias has certainly been ideological, but it has never been political. For eight years while the Republicans dominated the White House and, for the most part, both Houses of Congress, Stewart's targets were frequently on the right, because speaking truth to power is more entertaining than mocking the class runts, which is what the Democrats were through much of the decade. But he's almost always focused on political hypocrisies from the Right, rather than policies. There's a reason why folks like Bob Dole and John McCain and even Mike Huckabee have never feared appearances on "The Daily Show": If you actually mean what you say and follow through on it with humanity, humility and ethics, "The Daily Show" wouldn't really pick on you. Stewart is a pragmatist and an idealist in that respect. He wants people in power to live up to the best versions of themselves. So that meant that in the 2004 election, when the Democrats decided to take it upon themselves to destroy what ought to have been a winnable election, Stewart was far harsher on them than on the Republicans. He's been harsher on the Democrats in the recent health care cop-out and he was hardly a cheerleader amidst the left wing toothlessness at the end of the Bush Administration. So yes, Jon Stewart is probably a crazy lefty, but he's also issued more thoughtful and substantive critiques of the Democrats than Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck and Dennis Miller put together. That nobody at Fox News has been watching "The Daily Show" and plagiarizing Stewart for a decade is their loss.
Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show" have become an indispensable part of the decade's discourse, but I get that I'm not really praising "The Daily Show" in total here. This position on my list is, largely, a celebration of the first segment or two of each night's "The Daily Show," maybe not the whole half-hour show.
I mentioned that conservatives like Dole, McCain and Huckabee have been regular guests because they know Stewart applauds straight-shooting, but they've also felt safe because they know Stewart still isn't a great interviewer. He's a lot better than he was. It used to be excruciating watching Stewart whenever he scored a rare A-list guest, as he went from a funnier Edward R. Murrow in the opening segment to a less funny, but equally obsequious Larry King in the interview. To this day, Stewart remains an excessively gentle and coddling interrogator to the bigger names, but he's become better at positioning his softball questions in a way that lets the subjects feel comfortable and, as a result, he's begun to get different sides of their personalities to come out. Every once in a while, though, Stewart gets a guest he wants to grill and in those instances, he forgets that he's supposed to occasionally let the other person speak. Many in the media loved Stewart's take-down of CNBC's clown prince Jim Cramer, but that "interview" amounted to little more than a 22-minute browbeating and while Stewart said things that many of us wished we had said, Cramer contributed little to his own demise. So is it OK that I love "The Daily Show" but tend to turn off many of the interviews mid-way through? I obviously think it is.
But include the field segments and filmed pits in the "Plus" column for "The Daily Show." Over the decade, the show has become at least as much of a comedy pipeline for television as the movies as "Saturday Night Live." In addition to Carell and Colbert, the show's two most powerful veterans, The show has filtered comics like Ed Helms, Lewis Black, John Oliver, Demetri Martin and Rob Corddry into the mainstream.
Actually, with "The Colbert Report," "The Daily Show" unleashed a spin-off which, at times, outstripped the original. Colbert's persona initially seemed ill-tailored for a long-term run, but that show's writers have done an amazing job of keeping the character relevant from the end of the Bush years and into the Obama years. I've cast multiple TCA Awards votes for Colbert over the years and "The Colbert Report" came very close to making this list on its own, but I eventually decided that I would give special mention to it here.
In closing, I just want to return to what I already said about "Pardon the Interruption." When something in sports happened in the decade, I wanted to know what Tony and Michael were going to say about it. When something happened in America (and in the world) in the decade, I wanted to know what "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" was going to say.
That, to me, is ample reason to have "The Daily Show" at No. 2 on my list of TV's Best of the Decade.
Coming up tomorrow? The long, strange journey comes to an end with the best series ever produced for the small screen. If you like hyperbole, get ready for the deluge, as HitFix celebrates TV's Best Show of the Aughts.

SORBS - sigh...
I want to vent my frustration regarding SORBS, the spam protection service.
Yes, what they is awesome and it does stop spam, but in my case it's a truly annoying, pain the butt experience. Look at this:
1) their website is hosted in Australia, so each page loads SLOW AS HECK.
2) I really 'like' it that my username and password are sent through a GET request through your url. Really friggin' save, amateurs.
3) They require you to log in to their systems using the offending IP address as network. So do I have to login to my VPS, create a desktop environment, install firefox and visit their site? GET REAL.
4) The system sucks, and eventhough it was my own fault by not updating WordPress (minor version update) and the account got hacked, I instantly cleaned everything up last week but still I cannot email any hotmail or google accounts, so now SORBS is just costing me time and money.
5) If I want to define a network, or whatever they call it, I get an access denied error. If I want to add the DNS settings that's offered on their website (not even sure what to do with that) I get an access denied error. The third menu option is User manager and clicking on that leads to another Not found error.
So ALL in ALL:
FIX YOUR SITE, PEOPLE. This really frustrates the **** out of me, because I simply can't do proper business. We e-mail a lot of dj's and producers, and they happen to all have Gmail. We need to send a contract to Thailand this week, but we can't because of this dumb spam list, etc etc.
What do we need to do to get this fixed? Anybody ever had any experience with SORBS and their amazing website and policies?
Thanks for any help!

ha, it's like the SORBS people read this thread (or I am a little less frustrated), because after reading it again and again, I found a way to submit a ticket. Don't fall for the 'get delisted' button when you really just want to click 'get help'.
Nevertheless the slowness and GET request for your user/pass remains. That's just terrible.hi there!

Well, at least their ticket system works, so I'll await further response from them.
Status: Frustration low
status: happy. Already got a reply from them:
Your request appear to have been resolved. If you have any
further questions or concerns, please respond to this message.
Please note:
If your IP address has been delisted (marked as 'Inactive'), it will
take up to 2 hours to get from the database to all the SORBS DNS
servers. Changes to the database are exported to the DNS zone files
periodically, not immediately after every change. Furthermore, after
the updated database contents have been exported to the DNS zone
files, it will then take up to 48 hours for the outdated DNS
information to be removed from DNS caches around the world - none
of these are in SORBS' control.
Please do not reply to this call with problems not related to
this ticket or your request will be ignored.hi there!

Eh, well yeah! I submitted a ticket and it was resolved in 5 minutes.hi there!
I'll agree with you on their site being absolutely terrible. My favorite part of their use of a self signed certificate. They say it's due to cost well even a $10 certificate is better than the self signed one they want you to add to your system.
There are worse RBL's though at least SORBS gives you some information. My favorite RBL's are ones that say hello we listed you. Without giving an ounce of information and you just ask for the listing to be removed. So basically in these cases it could be a single email causing the block. Good luck finding out which one of the thousands of emails sent out a day.█ Tony B. - Chief Executive Officer

Is SORBS reputable?
I know this thread is old, but SORBS still is interesting. In our case there was absolutely no spam sent from our servers, there was just one single backscatter mail. When I charged them for delisting I got the following answer:
Network xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32: This host has not been previously delisted but is not eligible for delisting until at least Sun January 6 12:04:32 2013 GMT+0
We are setting this ticket to 'Rejected', as an action is required in your part before we can update our lists regarding the IP address(es)you wrote to us about.
Action required: As you are requesting a delisting of an IP/Network that has either sent spam recently or has sent so much spam that it exceeds our preset thresholds you must reply to this message justifying your cause and why you think you should be delisted.
Someone will then review your case and reply accordingly.
Thank you
Son of Robbie the Robot on behalf of SORBS Support
SORBS Support
Of course I did not ask for any further action. What I did was to convince the email provider of that one client that had rejected our mail of not using this "spam service" anymore. And the problem was gone. :-)

Received a better than expected Hungary gold Korona. The coin had less than average bag marks, good luster, and appears to be almost uncirculated--AU-55+. I am well pleased with the price and selection from a random mix.
- Value (low premium over spot)
- Attractive Design
- Collectible (lower mintage)
- Easy to Sell
- Mint Condition
- Recognized Brand
I am enticed by the design which uses a full figure rather than a bust on the obverse and different symbols such as angels on the reverse. There is some chatter in the fields but no one mark of severity.
- Value (low premium over spot)

Simply put, I could not be more pleased with this purchase. The coin is absolutely beautiful. I'm attaching photos of the exact coin I received, so you can judge for yourself. Apmex knocked this one out of the park, imho.

I bought this coin as a present for my father. It has a beautiful design and all though the coin is quite small, it is much cheaper that the 100 Korona coin. The coin I received had a small nick near the edge of the coin but was otherwise in good condition. The shipping to Australia good, the order was able to be tracked using the ups website. The order was well packed when received.

great for gift or collect.

#1 UPDATE Employee
AmeriPlan provides great dental discounts MOST of the time
AUTHOR: Greg - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, March 19, 2006POSTED: Sunday, March 19, 2006
Every Dentist in AmeriPlan is supposed to follow our fee schedule.
In different parts of the country there are different fee schedules.
I looked up your area and you are in a Teal Fee Schedule area.
The American Dental Association provides AmeriPlan with what the average cost of a procedure in an area is. We use that information to set our discounts. Such as the following. . .
Procedure & ADA SRP - AmeriPlan Price-Discount
Initial Oral Exam $100 - $32 68%
Periodic Oral Exam $60 - $12 80%
Intraoral Complete $122 - $50 59%
Panoramic $110 - $50 55%
Regular Teeth Cleaning $95 - $42 56%
Deep Teeth Cleaning $215 - $75 65%
Our Money back guarantee states that if you go to one of our Dental Providers you will get his services at these prices.
Aaron, these prices are on the brochure that contained your application.
CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.
Under the Locate a Provider find the Dentists in your area and under the info column it says what fee schedule they follow. Click on it to get prices on common procedures.
Plus, a call to the dentist over the phone will often never reveal the true cost of treatment.
Sure a Dentist will tell you they will clean your teeth for $95, but what they may not say is you will not run into their office and sit right down and get your teeth cleaned.
Before that happens you have to get an Initial Oral Exam, Xrays and pay disposal fees. THEN you can get your teeth cleaned for $95.
The easiset way to be sure you are comparing apples to apples is to get the Dental Code for the Procedure it starts with a D and is followed by 4 digits. Then ask how much that procedure costs without and with your AmeriPlan discount.
If the dentist is charging more than he should you should report him to AmeriPlan. Or contact me through www.bigdentalsavings.com and I'll be glad to assist you.
Also, you do know you get dicounts on Vision, Prescription & Chiropractic serves for FREE don't you?
If the local dentists in your area are charging less than what the ADA suggests they charge then you are in a truly wonderful area. But I suspect that is not the case.
But do not expect AmeriPlan to give you your money back unless one of our providers does not give you the discount we guarantee.
Could you let me know what procedures you needed done and the name of some of the dentists you called so I can verify your story?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I once was a PNC customer until I found all of the consumer complaints listed against them. They tried to whack me $600 in fees in one month until I refused to pay them. They then of course turned me into a collection agency,and then my attorney took care of the rest. I guess when you call in the lawyers that I did (large law firm also based in Pittsburgh) PNC suddenly lost interest in my paltry $600. I could have resolved this through their customer service folks, but they were really rude. I tried to be pleasant and treat them like I would like to be treated, but they all must have been having a really bad year. I spoke with 5 different ones, and they were really nasty to me.
I have noticed that they are really pouring on the advertising in our local area for new customers, which tells me that they may be losing a lot more than just a few customers here and there. AS far as the 'rebuttal' of the PNC employee, you are wrong, NOT ALL BANKS CHARGE $50 termination fe.
WE have no less than 10 different banks in this area, and PNC IS THE ONLY BANK TO CHARGE THIS FEE!

* Montreal swept a best-of-seven series for the 22nd time in its history and for the first time since ousting Buffalo in four straight games in their second-round series in 1993 en route to their last Stanley Cup. It also marked the first time the club completed a four-game sweep on home ice since defeating St. Louis in the 1968 Stanley Cup Final.

Inherited Metabolic Disorders
In this article
Symptoms of Inherited Metabolic Disorders
The symptoms of genetic metabolic disorders vary widely depending on the metabolism problem present. Some symptoms of inherited metabolic disorders include:
- Lethargy
- Poor appetite
- Abdominal pain
- Vomiting
- Weight loss
- Jaundice
- Failure to gain weight or grow
- Developmental delay
- Seizures
- Coma
- Abnormal odor of urine, breath, sweat, or saliva
The symptoms may come on suddenly or progress slowly. Symptoms may be brought on by foods, medications, dehydration, minor illnesses, or other factors. Symptoms appear within a few weeks after birth in many conditions. Other inherited metabolic disorders may take years for symptoms to develop.
Diagnosis of Inherited Metabolic Disorders
Inherited metabolic disorders are present at birth, and some are detected by routine screening. All 50 states screen newborns for phenylketonuria (PKU). Most states also test newborns for galactosemia. However, no state tests babies for all known inherited metabolic disorders.
Improved testing technology is leading many states to expand newborn screening for genetic metabolic disorders. The National Newborn Screening and Genetics Resources Center provides information on each state's screening practices.
If an inherited metabolic disorder is not detected at birth, it is often not diagnosed until symptoms appear. Once symptoms develop, specific blood or DNA tests are available to diagnose most genetic metabolic disorders. Referral to a specialized center (usually at a university) increases the chances of a correct diagnosis.
Treatment of Inherited Metabolic Disorders
Limited treatments are available for inherited metabolic disorders. The essential genetic defect causing the condition can't be corrected with current technology. Instead, treatments try to work around the problem with metabolism.
Treatments for genetic metabolic disorders follow a few general principles:
- Reduce or eliminate intake of any food or drug that can't be metabolized properly.
- Replace the enzyme or other chemical that is missing or inactive, to restore metabolism to as close to normal as possible.
- Remove toxic products of metabolism that accumulate due to the metabolic disorder.
Treatment may include such measures as:
- Special diets that eliminate certain nutrients
- Taking enzyme replacements, or other supplements that support metabolism
- Treating the blood with chemicals to detoxify dangerous metabolic by-products

Mohegan - The inaugural American Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Tournament at Mohegan Sun brought thousands of diehard sports fans into the region Saturday, filling up hotel rooms, creating long lines at casino restaurants and even having a spillover effect for local attractions.
"It's a good atmosphere," said Diane Mackay, who drove all the way from Somerset, N.J., with her family to cheer for Rutgers in its win Saturday against Southern Methodist University.
Mackay, toting children Matthew and Brianna along with husband Bryan to the tournament, was staying overnight at the Microtel Inn & Suites in Uncasville and planned to visit the shops in downtown Mystic before leaving for home. After the game, the family was heading to Season's Buffet and later would eat at Bobby's Burger Palace, both in the casino.
Though the Big East conference had always eschewed playing tournaments at casinos, the Mackays said they saw nothing wrong with the atmosphere, even with children in tow. In fact, the adults were planning to spend some time gambling while the children had fun at one of the Sun's kid-friendly attractions.
"We're from New Jersey, so we go to Atlantic City," Diane said. "But they don't have a place like Kids Quest."
Linda Sonia and Terry Chandler, who flew in from Dallas to cheer for SMU and stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Mystic, were equally impressed with the venue.
"It's a real nice arena," Terry said, wearing the blue-and-red colors of SMU.
The pair had already been to Mystic, Stonington and Newport to do some sightseeing. They had plans to visit an Irish pub at the casino before trying their luck at a little post-game gambling - a pastime that they suspected Linda's son Bobby had already begun pursuing.
Fans like these from Dallas and New Jersey were exactly what Bobby Soper, Mohegan Sun's chief executive, had in mind when he sought to bring the AAC tournament to the region. The casino's arena already hosts popular Connecticut Sun games in the professional Women's National Basketball Association and has hosted a variety of other major sporting events, including Davis Cup tennis, the Harlem Globetrotters and even the Boston Celtics.
Mohegan Sun bid on the tournament last spring after the Big East split up and the AAC was formed, bringing the University of Connecticut Huskies into the fold. The watered-down Big East still plays at the XL Center in Hartford, so the AAC needed a new venue, and Mohegan Sun Arena fit the bill.
"It's the perfect size," Soper said. "It just seemed like a perfect fit."
The casino already was busy Saturday as pleasant weather brought out the crowds, but shop operators said they noticed a definite uptick in sales related to basketball fans at the tournament. Some, such as Andrea Daunice at the watch store Citizen, said it was more foot traffic than sales, but others, such as Jessa Drouin at the sundry shop Everything Under the Sun, were seeing a steady stream of customers - especially for snacks, drinks and cigarettes.
Soper said the Sun expected to sell about 30,000 tickets for the four-day tournament. He was looking forward to a significant volume increase at the casino's more than 40 restaurants and dozens of other retail shops - not to mention a boost in gaming activity.
"We want everyone to feel welcome," Soper said.
Soper said the casino's hotel rooms were 100 percent booked for the weekend. And many of those fans were being exposed to the Mohegan Sun brand for the first time, coming from long distances because the AAC conference covers a wide swath of geography.
TV exposure from the tournament is a big plus as well, Soper said, especially with the hometown favorite UConn Huskies on the prowl for another national championship.
"It's something new for women's basketball," said Chris Sienko, vice president and general manager of the Connecticut Sun. "Having the opportunity to be in a venue that is all-inclusive is exciting."
