He-Hey everybody! How ya'll doing? This guy's doin' good, am I right? But it's great to be here at The Laughstitution. I woulda gotten here sooner but parking was a real female dog, if you know what I mean. No seriously, uh, I mean that the parking attendant was, uh, you know…

I was asked to put my iPod on shuffle and blog about 10 random songs. I don't remember what all is on there so I hope this doesn't get embarrassing! Here we go!
1. Crocodile Rock — Elton John
What a way to start! Crocodile Rock is one of my favorites. Catchy, head-bobbing fun. And what a funny name for a song. Elton John was firing on all cylinders with this one. I Laaaa Lalala Laaaaove this song!
2. Crocodile Rock — Elton John
Haha, what!? Crocodile Rock again!? Weird! It's on random, what's a guy to do? Classic song and Elton John's first U.S. number one hit. And I can see why! What a song. Also, I think when I bought my iPod I downloaded this song as a test and haven't used it sense. Huh.
3. Crocodile Rock — Elton John
Yep, this is the only song on my iPod. As I suspected. Well, hey, if you're only gonna have one song on an iPod, make sure it's a hit! And boy oh boy, what a hit! Elton sings that when rock was young, him and Suzie had so much fun; but not as much fun as me, listening to this song!
4. Crocodile Rock — Elton John
He-he-here we go! Fourth times a charm with Crocodile Rock, the only song on my iPod. Elton sings that he never had a better time and I guess I never will once this song is over! Also, for the reader, I have to listen to the song all the way through each time. I can't just skip the song, so I hope you're listening along with me. It's only fair.
5. Crocodile Rock — Elton John
I love this song, sure, but I don't know if it was meant to be listened to this many times in a row. Regardless, I still wish I could be there on those Friday nights with Elton and Suzie!
6. Crocodile Rock — Elton John
Okay, maybe I turned on repeat instead of shuffle. Give me one second while I check…
7. Crocodile Rock — Elton John
NOPE! Shuffle is on, Crocodile Rock is all we got! What number is this? 7? Feels like more than that. Okay, only 3 more to go, you can do this…. Crocodile Rock… what is there to say? It's from the album Don't Shoot Me I'm Just the Piano Player. More of that classic Elton humor.
8. Crocodile Rock — Elton John
I gotta get more songs on here! I'm starting to go crazy. So is my downstairs neighbor. He's banging on the ceiling. I think he's had enough of this song. Probably didn't help that I plugged my iPod into my Bose CineMate GS Series II. That thing gets some serious sound.
9. Crocodile Rock — Elton John
10 Crocodile Rock — Elton John
Well this has been such a fun blog exercise. Thanks to everyone who played along. I hope you enjoyed Crocodile Rock ten times in a row as much as I did. And as much as my furious downstairs neighbor did. And as much as this floating apparition of Elton John in that Donald Duck costume that has appeared before me did.
Until next time!
Have you been assigned to read Pride and Prejudice but bought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies since the original would be too boring to read but also don't have the time to read that despite the added zombies? Don't fret, here are the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Sparknotes.
Chapters 1-2
The news that a wealthy young gentleman named Charles Bingley has rented the manor known as Netherfield Park causes a great stir in the neighboring village of Longbourn, especially in the Bennet household and zombies. The Bennets have five unmarried daughters, and Mrs. Bennet, a foolish and fussy gossip, is the sort who agrees with the novel's opening words: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife," and don't forget those zombies. She sees Bingley's arrival as an opportunity for one of the girls to obtain a wealthy spouse, and she therefore insists that her husband call on the new arrival immediately, also there are zombies everywhere! Mr. Bennet torments his family by pretending to have no interest in doing so, but he eventually meets with Mr. Bingley without their knowing and there are zombies here, there and everywhere. When he reveals to Mrs. Bennet and his daughters that he has made their new neighbor's acquaintance, they are overjoyed and excited and that guy's a zombie and this guy's a zombie and you throw a rock you hit a zombie and party on zombie and eat my zombie shorts and to be or not to be a zombie and Luke, I am you zombie and zombie in the morning, zombie in the evening, zombie at supper time with zombies in your books you can have zombies anytime!
Getting on someone's good side can be hard. What with the stress at work and the heat outside and these sticky hands because WHAT DID I TOUCH! So a little reminder to be nice to people can be good every now and again. Here are some helpful tips to stay clear of the bad side of those around you.
Remember their name. This is very important. Remembering someone's name makes them feel valued. And if you can't remember their name do not make one up. Trust me, you will not get on someone's good side if you call them Stinky Pete. Sorry Uncle Jeff.
Look them in the eye. This shows you're paying attention. But don't make a face like you're looking at a dog eating something weird. Just look at them normal, no matter how weird the thing is the dog is eating. What is that thing? Probably what made my hands sticky.
Write them a note of encouragement. A simple note saying, "Nice tie today Josh" can really make a difference. And don't be afraid to be specific; "You're a great juggler Josh." This might cause them to come by your desk to tell you they don't know how to juggle so why would you send that note but don't be discouraged, just send another note of encouragement; "Don't you know a compliment when you see one? Use your brain Josh."
Buy them a drink. When they ask you why there's no alcohol in it, tell them Fanta is a drink.
At this point you should be on their good side. But if all else fails and you are still on their bad side, try saying, "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" in a baby voice. Works every time.
*This is the News In Brief article I'd write if I wrote for The Onion*
"This isn't the onion" Says Facebook Friend Posting Actual News Article
LOS ANGELES-On Wednesday morning, exactly 845 Facebook friends viewed the status, "This isn't the onion," along with a connecting link to CNN.com. Even though The Onion is a satirical newspaper that lampoons American politics, THIS news story that is TOTALLY REAL and is SO stupid and can't even begin to be talked about, needed to be clarified that it is not, in fact, The Onion, say sources close to subject. "You know some people post onion headlines thnking they're real," commented another Facebook user, "there's a blog." It is expected that the Facebook user will re-blog the hilarious picture George Takei posts tomorrow but will only be seen by 838 friends.
I was recently given the opportunity to submit a sketch for a Youtube show about current events. They passed on my script and I wonder if it's because my submission for a relevant, topical comedy show was entirely about Waterworld.
The world isn't perfect. You need to wake up and realize that. CLANGCLANGCLANG, are you awake yet? That was me banging some pots and pans together to WAKE YOU UP!
In a perfect world you'd get everything you want; a gum-ball machine, gum-balls to put in the gum-ball machine, quarters because you filled the gum-ball machine with gum-balls before you realized you'd need quarters to get them back out. But NO, the world is not perfect so you might get one or two of those things but even if you do, you're still gonna have a hard time finding someone to give you a quarter even though that doesn't seem like that big of a request.
In a perfect world T.S. Eliot's name would be "toilets" backwards. Nuh-uh, not in this imperfect world. Instead it's just "toilest" which isn't funny at ALL! And don't even get me started on e.e. cummings. sginmmucee??? Oh yeah, GOOD ONE e.e. Actually, go ahead and get me started cause that's it, I'm done, what else is there to say!?
In a perfect world David Copperfield really did make The Statue of Liberty disappear. In a perfect world all ghosts would wear powdered wigs. In a perfect world the expression "have your cake and eat it too" would not be a figure of speech associated with selfish thoughts and actions but rather a literal invitation of the words being spoken!!
So go ahead, stay asleep! But don't let me hear you say I didn't warn you.
Boy am I tired! I never get enough sleep. During the day all I ever think about is going back to bed. Even when I'm sleeping, I'm dreaming about when the next time I sleep I will be. Also about skeletons playing their own ribs like xylophones but I don't know what that has to do with anything.
When someone wakes me up in the morning, I don't say, "Just a few more minutes!" I say, "Just a few more hours!" Which often makes them angry cause it's noon. Also cause why am I in their house?
I walk through the day stumbling into things, tripping over my feet and people think I'm drunk but that's only because I am! But also cause I'm tired.
I drink about 10 cups of black, hot coffee everyday. One in bed. One with breakfast. One in the car. And one in the elevator. One in the bathroom. One while jogging. And then one with another one. One while on the elliptical at the gym. And then finally one before bed. And for the record, I like my coffee how I DON'T like my women; in a grande sized cup and filtered through a French press.
It hasn't always been like this. I used to wake up at the crack of dawn. I would wake up when the rooster crowed. But then I killed and ate that rooster and that took care of that problem.
Tattoos last forever. Or at least so I'm told. So I thought long and hard about what I wanted my tattoo to be before I got one.
Across the majority of my back is a giant seagull with two phones behind it. When people ask me what that means, I say, "It's a gull and cross phones." Then I smile really big at them.
To the side of that, the arm-pit/rib area, I have the name of every person I've ever met; Steve, John, Sally, Chris, Pete, Shirley, Greg, Cindy, Susan, Betty. They're all there; Matt, Kyle, Sara, Dave, Bobby, Mary, Jason, Jason Jr., Jason Sr., Emily, Rachel, Charlie. You basically get the idea. If you don't, shoot me an email and I'll send you more examples.
Next to that, around the belly-button area is just a big red dot that says, "Start here." Now this tattoo I only show to people who are getting on my nerves. I mean someone who really chaps my tattoo-for-another-blog-post. I show them this tattoo and from the "Start here" point there is a line. This line runs from my belly-button, up my torso and across my arm. Next to this line I have tattoos that read, "Yeah, this way," and "Keep going you wise guy," and "Just a little bit farther you smart-aleck." They finally reach the end of the line and guess where it ends… my fist! And then BLAMO the old knuckle-sandwich. At this point they'll probably think I have magical floating tattoos of stars and cartoon birds but that's just from the knock to the head probably.
The only other tattoo I have, regrettably, is on my ankle and it's of Gargamel from The Smurfs. You see, I thought it'd be fun to have Waldo on my ankle so sometimes I could be like, "Hey find Waldo!" and then I'd lift my pant leg up a little bit and then everyone would be like, "THE LIFE OF THE PARTY" and be pointing to me. But while at the tattoo parlor, I somehow said Gargamel from The Smurfs instead of Where's Waldo. Don't ask me why. I don't know why. So now not only can I not do my life of the party trick but even if someone accidentally catches a glimpse of my Gargamel from The Smurfs tattoo I have to give a long-winded explanation about why anyone would ever have a tattoo of Gargamel from The Smurfs.
Making the perfect mix tape is easy! Just follow these simple steps and you too can get the dance floor bumping at your next party or dance-related event.
Start if off with a little "Let's Get it Started" by the Black Eyed Peas so there can be no confusing about whether it has started or not. This will come through most clearly with the lyric, "let's get it started," which is repeated multiple times throughout the song, sometimes adding, "in here," which will reassure party goers they are in the right place. Bada-bing! You're moving right along!
*important disclaimer - be sure not to play the "Let's Get Retarded" version of the song. Not only might this offend some potential party goers, but might also create a different king of party.
Now that it has successfully been started it's time brighten the moods of everyone on the dance floor by reminding them of all the great things in their lives. Dance parties are not just about moves and dance battles, as a DJ it's your responsibility to get everyone to think, "hey, life's pretty great." Which they will think when you play "Celebration" by Kool & The Gang. Most will be on board right away as they are told to celebrate good times but for those who need a little extra push, whose lives might be more troublesome than others, Kool will undoubtedly get the job done when he tells them to, "COME ON!"
Phew! Your party's got me working up a sweat already! But we're not done quite yet. Next you'll want to blindside them with "River of Dreams" by Billy Joel.
Finally, it'll all come to an end with the classic Isley Brothers song, "Shout." This song is a great way to closeout a party. Everyone knows and loves it. They love singing the lyrics and doing all the motions as well. But here's a trick… as Kyle Isley or Chris Isley or whatever the name of the Isley brother who's singing goes "a little bit softer now," when he reaches the softest bit, turn off the music. Everyone will be squatted down, uncomfortable and unsure what to do. This will be amusing to you. Once they figure out what has happened they will become annoyed and leave. It is just as important for a DJ to be able to start a party as it is for a DJ to end a party. Job well done!

Kerry's "Dirty Minimal" Workspace:
The Studio of Comma Workshop
Workspace Tour
A former architect and industrial design teacher, Kerry Larkin of Comma Workshop recently headed West with a passion to reconnect with her family lineage and a determination to create a life more centered around working with her hands.
Coming from a long line of quilt makers, one could say sewing has always been in her blood. The start of Comma Workshop gave her the ability to put her own fresh spin on the world of quilting and create a product that is truly unique. Her modern, typography-driven quilts are inspiring and beautiful. Walking through her Boulder based studio, it's easy to see how Kerry has brought the same renewed perspective seen in her work into the design of her workspace.
Kerry's love for minimalist design can be traced back to years spent in the architectural field and can be seen quite clearly in her studio's simple layout, white washed walls and the complete lack of frill and fuss. Not as noticeable are the elements that contribute to what Kerry calls "Dirty Minimalism" — the dashes of "realism" throughout the space. She draws my attention to the rusted and worn blue metal table legs, which she saved from a local school that was closing. These support large tops made of old doors rescued from an architectural salvage yard. Scattered throughout her studio are well placed pieces with the patina that can only come with time and wear. Adding to the harmony of the space, almost everything in her studio has a visible purpose (yes, that includes the stack of river tubes!). And by adding in the occasional pop of color, best represented in the bright orange industrial table trestles, Kerry has been able to create a workplace that feels both relaxing and inspiring.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: I definitely have a minimalist aesthetic, with a dash of industrial and vintage carefully thrown in. In both my studio and my home, I try to own only things that I really love, whether it is a beautiful piece of furniture or an inexpensive thrift store find. I will go months without a couch or a lamp or even cereal bowls, just because I haven't found something that I love!
Inspiration: I love farm architecture, grain elevators, and industrial warehouses. They are practical and beautifully proportioned, which makes layering rust and dirt on them all the more lovely. It is a dilemma, though, because I make white quilts, so I'll try to drag a rusty metal toolbox into the studio, and then sigh and leave it outside! Also, being trained as an architect, I am definitely inspired by architects like Herzog and DeMeuron, Peter Zumthor, and Byoung Cho.
Favorite Element: I have two:
Biggest Challenge: I hate to admit it, but I tend to be messy. My biggest challenge is cleaning up after myself. A few months ago I realized that if you'd put a time-lapse camera in the studio, the majority of it would be of me looking for misplaced tools! So, I found a home for (almost) everything, and really make an effort to put things back in their place. And, being right on Main Street, people wander in, so I like being able to welcome people into a clean space.
What Friends Say: My studio is in an 1880s building that is used as a hotel/boarding house for musicians that play at the bluegrass and folk festivals here in Lyons. It's a pretty amazing space with a dark, western aesthetic. Everyone that walks into my space is surprised at how bright and well lit my studio is — a definite contrast to the rest of the house.
Biggest Embarrassment: I have a great porch and I've been longing to set up a beautiful little outdoor space with a container garden, hammock, etc. but I haven't found time to do it yet.
Proudest DIY: I actually haven't done a lot of DIY things in my studio, but I really love my work tables. The orange and yellow metal sawhorses are practical and beautiful. Most of my table tops are old doors from an architectural salvage yard. I like to host parties and events, and they are easy to move when I need to change the space around.
Biggest Indulgence: Definitely my longarm sewing machine. I call it a 'baby' longarm though because it's not nearly as big and complex as most longarm machines out there! But, it works perfectly for what I do.
Best Advice: Be gentle and kind to yourself. Working for yourself (and creating your workspace) is an adventure. There are days that you won't be productive and days that you'll feel like a superstar. Embrace them both.
Dream Sources: I love architectural salvage yards and junkyards, but, again with white quilts, I have to be really selective about what I bring into the studio. And, give me a midcentury modern furniture store and I'll spend the entire day there.

Gorgeous! So much light! I want to live there.
How did her and her place fare with the floods?
I have to ask, where did you get your gorgeous sailor pants, or did you make them yourself? They are lovely!
And what a beautiful workspace. I love the wall color and the fresh design.
Great angled hardwood floors. Who's responsible for the selective focusing on the photos?
My first reaction was also: really love those trousers!
But a great workshop too, love the flooring and the rack for spools of thread especially.
I missed an explanation for the inner tube stack. In general, I like the posts where the owners take the time to explain the pictures a little.
Great place, but it's the pants I am jealous of :)
Thanks for all the comments about my pants:) They are from Anthropologie (of course!), and probably 3 years old! ... searching for some similar sailor pants for winter-- so if anyone finds some goodies- send me an email!
kimmyt -thanks for asking about the floods! Our studio was spared, thank goodness, but the rest of the town is in rough shape... but it's an awesome community and we are on the mend!
This looks just like my work space. And by that, I mean the laptop and the glass of wine.
Kerry, your space was a joy to look through and I thank you for sharing. I hope one day to be so organized and inspiring. ;)
Why can't I see slide show full screen; cannot get the side show advertisements to go away. Kinda detracts fom viewing pleasure.
What about the bathroom? I would like to see more pics of the nest-bed!!
I love Chicago!
just look at that light filled room. Amazing!!!That looks like a happy work space.
Love the pants and the sandals! Totally my style!! Great studio, too. :-)

President Obama went to El Paso, Texas, on Tuesday to make another pitch for immigration reform. And, as Allahpundit notes at Hot Air, you've heard it all before.
To the degree that one could find in Obama's remarks even the rough outlines of a plan for comprehensive immigration reform, it was in this section:
First, we know that government has a threshold responsibility to secure the borders and enforce the law. Second, businesses have to be held accountable if they exploit undocumented workers. Third, those who are here illegally have a responsibility as well. They have to admit that they broke the law, pay their taxes, pay a fine, and learn English. And they have to undergo background checks and a lengthy process before they can get in line for legalization.
And fourth, stopping illegal immigration also depends on reforming our outdated system of legal immigration. We should make it easier for the best and the brightest to not only study here, but also to start businesses

Wonderful easy recipe. I followed it except I added a little more bacon & mushrooms to the stuffing. I too, sprayed some butter on the outside of the fish before baking. The stuffing didn't overpower the delicate flavor of the fish. Definitely a keeper!

Worst Predictions
'The iPod will be dead, finished, gone, kaput.'
— Sir Alan Sugar, February 2005
We thought it was hilarious when Sir Alan Sugar predicted that by the end of 2005 the iPod would be "dead, finished, gone, kaput." I remember saying, "Wow, that's so weird, because I was just thinking the exact same thing about Sir Alan Sugar." See, by then we were on the verge of introducing video. We also had prototypes of the iPod Touch and iPhone in the labs. We knew where the iPod was headed and how huge it was going to be. At last count we've sold more than 220 million units, and even though iPod sales were down a bit last quarter, that's only because people are buying iPhones instead of iPods—we're cannibalizing our own product. People underestimated the iPod because it seemed so simple. It wasn't the first MP3 player. It didn't have the most features—in fact, it had fewer features. People like Alan Sugar figured cloners would just crank out cheap knockoffs and kill us. But the real value of the iPod had nothing to do with the hardware—it was the ecosystem around the hardware. The iTunes software, the iTunes store, the deals we made with record labels, the fact that everything was easy to understand and simple to use. These days I'm considered the greatest business genius of all time, the ruler of the digital age—and it all started with that simple little MP3 player. As for Sir Alan Sugar, in 2007 he sold his ailing computer company, Amstrad, for 10 percent of what it had been worth at its peak, and then he signed on to star in the U.K. version of The Apprentice. I rest my case.

Poland Poised to Elect Its First Transsexual Parliamentarian
In a country that isn't known for its progressive politics, male-to-female transsexual Anna Grodzka is proving to be a political trailblazer.
The 57-year old, who completed her sex change last year, could become the country's first transsexual parliamentarian after her party, the Palikot Movement, earned a surprising 10% of all votes during Poland's Oct. 9 election. Poland operates under a party-list proportional representation system in which parties are allocated parliamentary seats based on the proportion of the votes the party receives. Because the Palikot Movement has earned an estimated 40 seats, and because Grodzka is at the top of the party's candidate list in Krakow, she will likely earn a spot in the Sejm, the lower house of the Polish parliament.
"I'm not yet sure if I've been elected, but I'm very happy with the result scored by the Palikot Movement," she said Sunday evening at a celebratory election party held in Warsaw. "If I'll be elected in Krakow, I'll be Poland's first transsexual, and the only transsexual MP not only in Poland, but the entire world." Transsexual Georgina Beyer became the world's first only transsexual member of parliament in 1999 when she won election in New Zealand, but her term expired in 2007.
Grodzka and her supports are waiting for all the votes to be counted before declaring victory, which could be done as early as Tuesday morning. "We're 85% sure of her win, but we don't want to jinx ourselves," a colleague at Trans-Fuzja, the transgender rights group Grodzka founded, told TIME on Monday morning.
It's difficult to quantify attitudes towards Poland's transgender community, but activists say they face a hostile environment in a country where 96% of residents identify as Catholic. Attitudes toward the gay community, which is more easily accepted than the transgender community, underscore the difficulty a transsexual candidate like Grodzka would have faced during the election. The 2007 PEW Global Attitudes Survey found that just 45% of Poles believe that homosexuality should be accepted by society. That lags far behind other Catholic countries like the Philippines, where 64% of people responded affirmatively, and Spain, where 82% of respondents did. Other European countries including France, Germany and Sweden all posted figures higher than 80%.
Grodzka, a trained clinical psychologist, believes her potential election signals a new day for marginalized groups across the country. "Today, Poland is changing. I am the proof along with Robert Biedron, a homosexual and the head of an anti-homophobia campaign who ran for office in Gdynia," a city on Poland's northern coast. But Grodzka's campaign was about far more than gay rights. During the election she campaigned on a platform of raising the minimum wage, improving the availability of nurseries and kingergartens, and encouraging a greater division of church and state by stopping the flow of public funds to religious organizations.
"Brittany Novotny, a Democrat and Oklahoma's first known transgender candidate, is running for a seat in the State House against Sally Kern, the Republican incumbent who gained national attention in 2008 for saying that "the homosexual agenda is just destroying this nation" and that homosexuality was a bigger threat than terrorism."

Most notable about this article is what is not called out as a big deal; Mr. Segarra is openly gay. He will be the first openly gay Hartford mayor.
Finally some good news out of the Florida. (via GayPolitics.com)
Openly LGBT candidates are running for office at all levels of government in Florida this year, a sign that gay politics may be changing in a state that has lagged some of its neighbors in terms of political milestones for the LGBT community. (Alabama and Georgia both have elected openly gay state legislators, but Florida still has not.)
"By Florida standards, there's been an explosion of gay candidates and activity and openly gay elected officials," said Eric Johnson, a Fort Lauderdale political consultant who is also a member of the Victory Fund's Campaign Board, a national group of some 100 community leaders who help identify, endorse and raise money for openly LGBT candidates for public office.
"The likelihood of adding gay elected officials in 2010 is quite high. It seems to me that we've turned a little corner in Florida as it relates to openly gay candidates seeking office and being seen as legitimate candidates," Johnson told the Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Pro-equality candidates are the a vital step towards getting marriage equality in every state. Go Minnesota!
Same-sex marriage advocates think 2010 is their best chance yet to realize equality for gay and lesbian people. But a key factor will be who ends up occupying the governor's mansion after Tim Pawlenty moves out — and whether he or she supports Minnesota joining the five other states and Washington, DC., that allow same-sex couples to wed. With the exception of Republican candidate Tom Emmer, all major candidates for governor are strongly in favor of same-sex marriage.
"For people who believe that we need to make Minnesota a place where people are not discriminated against because of who they are or who they love, this election is critical," said Monica Meyer, public policy director of OutFront Minnesota. "We are on the verge of being able to right some wrongs in state laws. In this election, voters have an opportunity to vote for candidates who champion justice and equality for all Minnesotans."
Of the candidates for governor, all but the Republican seem enthusiastic about making LGBT equality a reality.

Are you kidding me! Michael Steele is trying to retool his anti-marriage message to argue that marriage equality is going to hurt small business and ends up making the argument that no business should cover the spouse of an employee. What nonsense!! Go for it Michael… give this as a talking point to all the GOP candidates and staffers out there and lets see what happens.

Hopefully someone can help me with this. If I press the "0" button to toggle the light on my Autostar controller 5 or 6 times in succession, the keyboard will hang up. After a few minutes, the display will then go blank.
If you use the catalog between presses (toggle the light on and off 3 times, then use the catalog and move the mount), then press another three times, the presses don't cumulate past the catalog go-to.
However, if you press say 5 times, then move the mount using the motor keys (not a catalog movement) the next press will once agian lock the mount.
Is this a firmware problem that was fixed in updates?
Or is there some kind of keyboard lock or shutdown program. And if so, how do you "Unlock" the keyboard after this?
Any help would be apprecaited.

We are not living in 1950 anymore. The thought of sending a monkey into space is a human disgrace. Untold suffering could happen. This is beyond cruel.
If you want to explore space, you should go up yourself. No monkey wants to go up.
You have no right to inflict such dire cruelty onto an animal, any number of technical problems could occur. The monkey could be subjected to terrible suffering.
You should all be very ashamed of yourselves, governments, financers, scientists and technicians.
Extreme cruelty,
Iran's Space Organisation chief Hamid Fazeli
"The final tests for launching the capsule, carrying a monkey, have been completed," Iran's Space Organisation chief Hamid Fazeli said in remarks reported by the Mehr news agency.
Fazeli said the launch would take place during a 10-day period starting January 31, which marks the 34th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution, the state television website reported.
Iran has already sent small animals into space – a rat, turtles and worms – but its previous attempt to send a live monkey into space failed in 2011, which was announced without explanation.
Fazeli said the monkey project would help Iran "implement the preparations of sending a man into space," which officials say is scheduled for 2020.
The previous project envisaged launching a capsule with life support using the Kavoshgar-5 rocket to an altitude of 120 kilometres (75 miles) for a 20-minute suborbital flight.
What about the monkey from your FAILED ATTEMPT??
The shame of modern humanity.

Augie's Hafemeyer Named Nat'l Player of the Week
Tuesday, November 12, 2013 7:38 PM EST
Tuesday, November 12, 2013 7:38 PM EST
By Erik Thorstenson -
LEXINGTON, Ky. –
Augustana senior middle blocker Holly Hafemeyer was named the Sports Imports/AVCA Division II National Player of the Week the organization announced on Tuesday. Hafemeyer was also named the NSIC's Offensive Player of the Week yesterday, as she matched her career-high in kills in back-to-back matches last weekend.
Hafemeyer, a native of Faribault, Minn., is the third player in Augustana history to earn AVCA National Player of the Week honors. Hafemeyer is the first player to earn the award since Angie Hummel was tabbed the AVCA National Player of the Week on Oct. 6, 2003. Lindsay Voss also earned the award on Sept. 4, 2000.
Hafemeyer's back-to-back nights of 24 kills each helped the Vikings, who opened the NCAA Central Region rankings at eighth, close the gap on Northern State in the NSIC standings. On the weekend, Hafemeyer totaled 48 kills (6.0 kills/set), a .462 attack percentage (48-6-91), 54 points, and seven total blocks.
Saturday's offensive output from Hafemeyer was one of the greatest performances in Augustana volleyball history. With 26.5 points from 24 kills and three blocks (one solo, three assists), Hafemeyer set a new high in the Augustana record books for points in a three-set match. In the third set against No. 20 Northern State, Hafemeyer drilled 11 kills and tallied two blocks which included scoring five of the seven consecutive points that buried the Wolves.
Hafemeyer has now amassed 1,139 kills in her career while maintaining a .330 attack percentage -- the highest attack percentage of the 21 Augustana volleyball players who have at least 1,000 kills.
Hafemeyer earned her first NSIC player of the week honors by grabbing defensive POW on Sept. 16 after totaling a career-best 11 blocks. Then, Hafemeyer collected her first offensive accolades on Oct. 7 after leading the Vikings over MSU Moorhead and Northern State on the road.
The Vikings close out their regular season with a three-match road trip, heading to Southwest Minnesota State tonight for a 7 p.m. match, before heading North to Minot State and U-Mary on Nov. 15 and 16, respectively.

Confronting doubters who harbor questions about his place of birth, President Barack Obama chose to defy one of his White House's own rules: Don't get dragged into the news skirmish of the day.
This time, he decided he had to. In an extraordinary step, the White House produced a copy of his detailed Hawaii birth certificate Wednesday after obtaining a special waiver from the state to make it public.
For his allies and even many of his political critics, it was about time.
The debate over his birth was becoming a media preoccupation. Celebrity developer Donald Trump, who took the lead in sowing doubts about Obama's birth, was gaining a following as he flirted with a Republican presidential bid. A recent poll showed two-thirds of all Republicans — and smaller percentages of independents and Democrats — believing Obama was born overseas or voicing uncertainty about his place of birth.
Standing in front of cameras in the White House briefing room Wednesday, the president sought to rise above the fray by first succumbing to it.
"We're not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshow and carnival barkers," Obama said.
But the issue was not just a distraction. The rising public doubts about his birth, with their hints of xenophobic and even racist attitudes, threatened to feed broader suspicions and grievances among millions of Americans. Unchallenged, those sentiments would linger through his re-election campaign.
"A huge segment of the Republican Party, whether or not they concede it or even know it, looks foolish and conspiratorial," said Jim Jordan, a longtime Democratic operative and veteran of numerous political campaigns.
"But also it's likely that this was becoming a genuine distraction, that the question itself was seeping beyond the right fringe of the Republican Party and it was just time to demystify the whole thing."
Many Republicans also breathed a quiet sigh of relief at the sight of Obama's new documentation.
Among many party activists, questioning Obama's birthplace — and thus his constitutional legitimacy as president — was a test of party allegiance. Republican presidential hopefuls were forced into uncomfortable corners where they had to distance themselves from the birthers' claims without alienating potential voters.
"There's a lot of evidence out there that it was a distraction for a number of Republicans," said GOP pollster Wes Anderson. "It became a purity test for some voters. For others it was a test of whether you were serious about other issues. There are just as many Republicans as Democrats who would be glad to get to fighting about other things."
Todd Harris, a Republican consultant who has worked on a number of GOP presidential campaigns, said some Republicans fanned the birthplace cause to get an easy headline and open up the wallets of some activists.
"It may have a short-term payoff for a handful of Republicans," he said. "But for the party as a whole, it is a terrible long-term issue to build a campaign around."
Recognizing the potential backlash, Republican House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday promptly put some distance between the GOP establishment and the conspiracy theorists.
"This has long been a settled issue," Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said. "The speaker's focus is on cutting spending, lowering gas prices and creating American jobs."
There was no guarantee that the topic of Obama's birth would simply go away. The Internet on Wednesday was already beginning to hum with questions about the authenticity of the newly produced document.
But what had given the issue its drive was the success critics such as Trump achieved by simply questioning why Obama had not released the long-form version of his birth document. "Essentially the discussion transcended from the nether regions of the Internet into mainstream political debate in this country," Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director, said.
The White House choreographed the release of the birth certificate. Aides said Obama decided last week that he had had enough of the issue and asked his White House counsel, Bob Bauer, to look into getting a waiver from the state of Hawaii to release the document.
The copy of the documents arrived at the White House around 5 p.m. Tuesday. Aides released the copy Wednesday morning. Bauer, Pfeiffer and press secretary Jay Carney briefed reporters. Only then did Obama take the podium.
"Now, normally I would not comment on something like this," he said.
He did not brandish his birth certificate. He did not offer a point-by-point rebuttal. He conceded that for some, the issue would not go away.
"But I'm speaking to the vast majority of the American people, as well as to the press," he said. "We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We've got better stuff to do."

Which means this entire birth certificate debacle is an excercise in world class statist propaganda that would make Josef Goebbels proud. / : |
So what is the 'truth' after 2.25 years of obfuscation and hefty expenditures to cloak his questionable past including his educational credentials and ties to the CIA?
Adolf Hitler had Jewish roots and they managed to hide that too from the greater German populace.
A corrupted "Fourth Estate" i.e., MSM, puppeteered by the state can achieve wonders in terms of controlling and influencing the unwashed, uninformed, ever-trusting masses. : |
Carl Nemo **==
This is politics, of course it was choreographed.
I'm a little late with the greeting, but welcome back. I was starting to think you were Gitmo'd. Ha.
Thanks Griff for the welcome back. : ) I explained to Bryan with his welcome greeting that I damaged my rotator cuff and separated both major tendons in my upper right arm trying to push my lawn tractor out of the mud about a month ago. It wasn't the pushing that did it, but the rear seat flipping up which covers the battery compartment releasing all the tension in my arms and legs that caused my shoulder to partialy dislocate along with a lot of internal sound effects; ie., 'snap, crackle, n' pop'. My wife said I sounded like a wounded Sasquatch when it happened… : )) I informed Doug of the same about a month ago.
Sitting in the computer chair typing even with pain killers isn't much fun.
I'm headed for a consultation with the surgeon on Monday AM and will possibly be out of commission for a bit post surgery whenever they schedule such. I'm definitely going to check out the credentials of the orthopedic surgeon to make sure he didn't obtain his surgical credentials via a correspondence course. : )) I've checked site content regularly over the past month. You and the site regulars are great as always in stirrin' the pot so to speak. : D
Carl Nemo **==
Hi Carl…
Sorry to hear of your accident. I've haad both shoulders worked on over the last 5 years or so. The latest, year before last, was a complete tendon tear, too, and was unfortunately much more of a bother than the first. I was in a sling day-and-night for 5 weeks post-surgery, and the MANDATORY physical therapy was all that brought me back. Be sure to get a dedicated "shoulder" surgeon, especially a sports-medicine type. Makes a lot of difference. Good luck.
The timing of this release is interesting.
From a political perspective, Obama would have been much better off had he waited until much later into the election cycle to give all of these wingnuts more opportunities to make even further fools out of themselves than they already are. After all, he HAD the certificate. He KNEW where and when he was born. It was simply a matter of timing.
His release of it now, before the Donald could gain traction, indicates to me that Obama is putting statesmanship and the good of the country ahead of politics. After all, if you are going to run for reelection, what is the best possible ticket to run against? The Donald and Sarah Palin comes to mind. What a pair of losers. Somewhere recently I saw that possible ticket referred to as "the Trump and the Tramp."
Call the press corps, I'm about to agree with GHL! Partially, any way. I think maybe Obama would have rather waited a little longer into the campaign but Trump disrupted the timing.
But not to let that discoursage Him, Obama sat on the BC for two weeks and released it on the day that new poll and economic numbers were released.
But Obama a statesman? That's quite a stretch. The good of the country? This was all political manuevering. Or should I say manuring?
The Donald and Palin? Trump and the Tramp? Funny. Even I don't believe the Republicans are dumb enough to run that ticket.

Chapter 6: One happy moment only lasts for so long0 Reviews
Finally Ion feels something but it all ends too quickly
I hadn't really noticed that much as my body completely went numb and slumped to the floor. I didn't sleep at all and I felt my eyes were burning because I cried so much. I felt the dry blood on my neck and didn't bother with it anymore. I felt like someone dropped a pile of bricks and they were crushing down upon me. I had looked onto praying but I had nothing to pray for because in order to pray you need hope first and I am all drained out of that.
I flinched as I saw the doorknob of my door twist and open. Sister Simone walked into the room and her face turned ghostly white.
"Dear Esther," She said, "What has happened to you?"
I looked at her and couldn't find the strength to open my mouth and tell her what happened. Only moments later Sister Simone ran out of the room and came back with a wet washcloth. She lightly grabbed my arm and helped me into my bed. I laid there and stared straight up to the ceiling for I had nothing else to do.
"Rest now," Sister Simone said placing the cool cloth on my forehead, "Do not burden yourself with any other troubles right now. I am sorry I had not attended to you earlier. Esther all you needed to do was say there was something wrong or whatever happened to make you this way."
I reached up and lightly grabbed her arm.
"I am not the one who needs help," I replied.
"What ever are you talking about dear girl?" Sister Simone asked with confusion on her face, "Look you need some rest so go to sleep and I will come and check on you soon."
I didn't bother to tell her anymore as I watched her leave only by turning my head. I then placed my gaze back upon the familiar ceiling when I someone at the window. I turned my gaze and found Father Nightroad climbing in. I then closed them hoping that maybe he would think I was asleep and leave, but that didn't work.
"Esther I saw your eyes open just a moment ago," he replied lightly touching my cheek.
"I was hoping that you wouldn't notice," I said as I opened my eyes.
"What has happened to you?" He has scanning over me.
"It is but nothing," I replied looking away hoping that he would just escape here.
"Esther come with me," Father Nightroad replied, "I can not let you stay here any longer."
"It is not a choice of yours to make, "I replied sitting up, "It is a choice of mine."
"You are not sane," He replied, "You have changed."
"It does not matter," I replied, "you need to leave here, you need to leave this place while you still can."
"Esther I will not leave without--
"I said go!" I replied raising my voice, "I don't want to see you here again, I want you to leave."
"Esther you do not know what--
"I said leave and this time I mean it," I replied with anger in my voice, "You are being hunted don't you get it? You are--
I froze as I felt his presence behind me. I didn't want to move and I didn't want to continue breathing. I didn't want to do anything.
"Guards grab him," I heard Ion say as his gaurds rushed to Father Nightroad and held him, "Take him to a cell where we will keep him until I say otherwise."
A tear fell down my face as I watched them take Father Nightroad away. With all my protesting it availed to nothing. They would not listen and most of all he would not listen.
I hurried and stood up as Ion turned his gaze to mine.
"Finally I have got him right where I want him," He said, "all thanks to you."
"No," I replied, "I didn't want this to happen."
I went up to Ion and decided it was time. I went right up to him and slapped him as hard as I could on the face.
"You are vile," I replied, "and very selfish."
He held his cheek almost in shock and it took him a long time to react. Before I knew it I was in the same familiar position with him crushing his body against mine while my back was against the wall.
"You have no right to--
"To what?" I asked, "To give you what you deserve?"
I saw his fangs on either side of his mouth and took a big breathe. I awaited for him.
"You are so foolish and you picked the wrong time to anger me," he replied as he began to lower his head.
"I do not care because I do not fear it anymore Ion," I replied as I was in shock for the pain that was surely to come to my neck not come at all. Instead what Ion did almost made my heart stop. He let me go and he backed away. He had a bit of regret and almost sorrow in his eyes as he looked back at me.
"Ion what is wrong?" I asked reaching out my hand, "Why didn't--
"I could not," He replied, "I don't know why; this has never happened before."
"Just do it," I said as I grabbed his arm, "Go on and end something that you have awaited to end for awhile."
He pushed my hand away.
"No," he replied, "I can not do it."
"Ion please just do it!" I yelled as tears began to fall from my eyes, "I can not take any more."
"Esther I can not and will not," He replied, "but I know why I really could not though."
His eyes were watering and I couldn't believe this was the same Ion I was with all this time.
"It is because it intrigues vampires when their prey is scared and doesn't want to give their life, "He replied, "they fight just to stay alive but you didn't because you want to die and I don't think I could have done it any way even if that reason was not true."
He came over and did the unthinkable and wrapped his arms around me. He embraced me and touched me in a way I thought he would never. I in turned wrapped my arms around him. This moment was very soon interrupted as Dietrich came busting through the door.
"Sorry to ruin your little moment," He replied, "but Esther needs to come with me."
I feared for what I did not know. I wanted someone to pinch me for I had thought I was dreaming but I had soon noticed I had got too high of myself and that this dream was going to turn into a nightmare...

This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This site generally seems to deliver the on its promises, but only with minimal effort and baseline results. The homepage of Thrill Dark is a prime example. It works. It's easy to find everything, but it has only the most basic design and everything from the pictures to the movies and even advertising is lumped together on one page.
The content follows suite. In terms of still images, you'll find about 28 galleries in all on this site. There are about 12 galleries in the 'photoset archive' itself, another eight or so galleries in the comics section and about eight galleries in the movie section that offer still shots that are of comparable quality to the rest of the images. When I say comparable, I mean average quality.
The movie section is similarly disappointing, but with less material. The movies are short, about two minutes long each, and have average-looking playback. They are downloadable, but there are only about eight of these brief videos.
The content involves fairly conventional interracial sex, but at the end of the day the only special thing about these scenes is that the computer-generated models can have breasts that are so big, they'd defy the weight allowance of most elevators in the real world. Big breasts are great and if that's all you want you'll find it here, but given the opportunities presented by computer graphics you might expect a little more creativity.
Updates seem to be showing up about once per week on this site, though it's worth noting that they say that those who maintain memberships over the course of multiple months will have access to updates more quickly.
In terms of extras, you'll also be able to access some galleries featuring big-boobed babes from the real world. Apart form that, the site doesn't offer much in the way of bonus material. There are some pricing deals, but if you want access to this producer's other sites you'll have to pay extra.
So, while it might be true that once a gal has gone black, she'll never go back, once you've checked out the 3D-animated interracial on this site, you might well want to go back to your usual sources of porn. Thrill Dark doesn't have the quality or the quantity to deserve a wholehearted recommendation.

With such a small amount of butter, even on low heat, the marshmallows were burning before they melted. The taste was good but nothing spectacular. A good alternative to plain Rice Krispi treats.

How to pick assisted living residence

Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you give me some tips on picking a good assisted living facility for my mother? Her health has declined to the point that she can't live alone anymore but isn't ready for a nursing home either.
Need Assistance
Dear Need,
If your mother needs some assistance with daily living activities like bathing or getting dressed, managing her medications, preparing meals, housekeeping, laundry, or just getting around, an assisted living facility is definitely a good option to consider.
Assisted living facilities are residential communities that offer different levels of health or personal care services for seniors who want or need help with daily living.
While there's no standard blueprint for how they're constructed, an assisted living facility may be part of a retirement community or nursing home, or they may stand alone. Most communities have between 25 and 125 suites, varying in size from a single room to a full apartment. And some even offer special memory care units for residents with dementia. Here are some simple steps you can take to help you find a good facility.
Make a list: Start by calling your Area Agency on Aging (call 1-800-677-1116 or visit
for contact information) for a list of assisted living facilities in the area. You can also do a search online at senior housing locater sites like snapforseniors.com, or check your local yellow pages under "senior housing" or "assisted living."
Call your ombudsman: This is a government official who investigates long-term care facility complaints and advocates for residents and their families. This person can help you find the latest health inspection reports on specific assisted living facilities, and can tell you which ones have had complaints or other problems. To find your local ombudsman, call your Area Aging Agency or see ltcombudsman.org.
Call the facilities: Once you've narrowed your search, call the facilities you're interested in to find out if they have any vacancies, what they charge, and if they provide the types of services your mother needs.
Tour your top choices: During your visit, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem responsive and kind to its residents? Also be sure to taste the food, and talk to the residents and their family members, if available. It's also a good idea to visit several times at different times of the day and different days of the week to get a broader perspective.
Also, find out about staff screening (do they do background checks) and training procedures, and what percentage of their staff leaves each year. Less than 30 percent annually is considered good. More than 50 percent is a red flag. To help you rate your visit, the Assisted Living Federation of America offers a handy checklist at alfa.org/checklist.
Assisted Living Costs
Since Medicare does not cover assisted living, paying for this type of housing is another area you may have questions about or need assistance with. Monthly costs for assisted living ranges anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on where you live, the facility you choose, and the services provided. Most residents pay out-of-pocket from their own personal funds, and some have long-term care insurance policies.
If, however, your mom is lower-income and can't afford this, there are some states that have Medicaid waiver programs that help pay for assisted living. Or, if she's a veteran, spouse, or surviving spouse of a vet, she may be able to get funds through the VA's Aid and Attendance benefit. To find out about these programs, ask the assisted living facility director, or contact her local Medicaid office (call 1-800-633-4227 for contact information) or regional VA office (1-800-827-1000).

Weapon Wheel Back in Resistance 3; Multiplayer InfoIn advance of the first in-game video of Resistance 3 due to air this Saturday during Spike's Video Game Awards, the PlayStation Blog posted an article with some background on the game. Along with a Resistance 2 spoiler (they recommend getting the Greatest Hits version and playing it if haven't. I might suggest taking the spoiler and moving on), the story includes some spiffy concept art and a few tidbits on what to expect from the new game.
Addressing one of the biggest complaints with two, Resistance 3 returns the weapon wheel from the original game, giving you access to your full arsenal instead of having to choose two guns at any time to run with. Weapons will also be upgradeable this time around. How that will work wasn't mentioned; though, the story does say that they will improve as you continue to use them. This makes it sound like the weapons will accrue some sort of experience points.
A couple brief mentions were also made of multiplayer. The team is hard at work on full two-player co-op throughout the main campaign--playable both online and split-screen. They're calling the multiplayer "progression-based" which most likely means it will take cues from the popular player development system used in Call of Duty and similar games. As one of the captions for the art notes, many of the multiplayer maps are set in locations not in the campaign, but places that will have been mentioned or otherwise connected back to the main game.

Wings of Destiny
Read Foreword Magazine's review of Catherine's upcoming novel below
"…there is no past, no future, only the present…the now…all living things are connected. All is one."
The latest offering by author Lanigan connects the lives of six generations to weave a tale of epic proportions. Wings of Destiny spans the centuries with timeless themes of prejudice, revenge, determination and love.
The tale opens in 1906 San Francisco with ninety-one-year old Jefferson Duke asking his young friend, Barbara Mansfield Kendrick, to read his mother's journal, otherwise known as "The Rachel Papers". Duke warns Barbara that she won't like what she reads, particularly the information she'll learn about her father's murder. The story then rushes back to Montego Bay, Jamaica in 1774. Nine year old Yuala, a slave of the Duke family "sees" an apparition of Barbara with a message from the future. The ghostlike Barbara places a tiny white infant at the feet of young Yuala, explaining that the child is Rachel, Yuala's future daughter. The image of Barbara goes on to reveal herself as Yuala's future great-great granddaughter.
In the chapters to follow, the story ripples outward to include a panorama of prostitution, opium dealers, and political corruption…masterfully intertwined and set against a backdrop of forbidden love in pre-earthquake San Francisco. Readers are introduced to the Su Family, Chinese immigrants who seek revenge against the Duke family for the death of their patriarch. As Barbara continues her journey through the papers, she discovers the startling truth about her closest friend, Jefferson, and her own racial heritage.
The saga unfolds with increasing velocity and culminates with a desperate race to save Jefferson from death at the hands of the Su family. In a fascinating bit of irony, members of the Su family are rescued from the wrath of their own kinsman. In the final reel, the story erupts in one of the greatest cataclysms of modern times, the San Francisco earthquake.
Lanigan has written numerous romance novels and is the bestselling author of Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile.

text: ever since we've taken our first bike trips of the season, i've been obsessed, and i've been seeing two-wheelers everywhere. i love this installation by hafsteinn juliusson (what a cool name by the way!) who was also involved in the superfarm project. and how cute is that ring? much prettier than any four-finger-ring i've ever laid eyes on (which aren't that many, i admit). it's designed by rachel pfeffer, who also makes beautiful necklaces. and the last picture is from brand new belgian bike label sleepstreet, which you also need to check out because it has the coolest branding.
