It's a rollercoaster. Today I meet Juan Enriquez, described by himself as a 'quasi-catholic in a Jesuit tradition' and as a 'renaissance futurist' by his wife (whom I'm lucky enough to meet later). To be honest it's hard to pigeon-hole Juan. His CV includes 'peace negotiator', 'Harvard professor', 'urban development Tsar' and 'biotech investor'. During our conversation he says, "there's only two things that matter: Nike and Nissan". This strikes me as rather a trivial observation for one of America's leading thinkers. He explains: 'Just Do It and Enjoy the Ride'.
He's a surprisingly reserved and gentle man in person, for someone who says quite remarkable and often strikingly important things. Voted best teacher at Harvard he's regularly called upon to speak on how the future might pan out. This year he opened the mighty TED talks. His address was typically powerful, thought-provoking and very funny. He has an ability to synthesise and distil difficult and interweaved concepts into something you can get hold of. His book As the Future Catches You is one of the best attempts to make sense of how biology and silicon are combining in extraordinary ways and is an essential read (I think that's the first book I've ever said that about). It'll take you two hours. "It started off as 3,000 pages and took me six years to condense," he tells me, reminding me of one of my favourite quotes, from George Bernard Shaw, who once wrote to a friend, "Sorry I wrote a long letter, I did not have time to write a short one". You can see some of the themes in it discussed in this TED talk:
Juan describes his life as "a series of strange accidents". 'Strange accidents' is rather a self-effacing way of describing an impressively eclectic powerhouse of a CV. Those "accidents" arguably started rolling off the conveyor belt when as a young man living in Mexico Juan walked into his parent's room and said, 'I'm not learning enough here, so I'm going to go to school in the US'. "I applied late, I had no idea it was hard to get into these places and even though I spoke English (my mother's American) I'd never studied and written in English. I have no idea why I was admitted. I mean during the admission exam I was asked to write a paragraph and I asked 'what's a paragraph?'. I had no idea."
He describes feeling "utterly stupid" for his first semester but obviously caught up fast and maintained that accelerated intellectual velocity, being admitted to Harvard to study Government and Economics, after which he returned home to 'change Mexico' – a childhood ambition borne out a belief that his home nation too readily disadvantaged those not in the ruling class. "I always thought I would work in and change Mexico. I was bothered by the poverty I saw there." He became the youngest Budget Director ever (in the Ministry of Planning and Budget), then returned to Harvard before being offered "a dream job" back in Mexico as head of the Urban development Corporation. So far, so impressive (especially when you consider that during his time in Mexico Juan was also part of the team that negotiated peace with the Chiapas Indians). And then Juan discovered something more important. A revolution that would not only affect Mexico but the entire world. And all because of some lonely looking geeky guy at a New Year's Eve party.
"I'm at a New Years party and there's this guy is sitting over on a corner table by himself and I think 'poor bastard, it's New Years' and I walk over and sit down and talk to him for the rest of the night. By the end of the evening we decided to sail across the Atlantic together in 2 weeks. By the end of that trip I had decided that I was going to change my entire career and learn biology."
The guy in question was a young Craig Venter, who went from being an obscure scientist to sequencing the first human genome. Juan recalls, "That conversation was so interesting, all of a sudden I thought 'I want to leant about this.' I wondered, who gets affected by this stuff? What does it do? What does it matter?" In fact, Juan was so interested in these questions, he set up the Life Sciences Project at Harvard Business School.
In As the Future Catches You Juan writes:
"Your future, that of your children, and that of your country depend on understanding a global economy driven by technology. Understanding code, particularly genetic code, is today's most powerful technology".
We talk about this in the context of a society that actually doesn't seem to be engaging with the implications of the genomics revolution (as I wasn't before researching my own book). Juan says, "I worry that if you're not educated in this stuff, you're toast." He's very clear that new technologies quickly change the fate of nations, especially as knowledge becomes ever more accessible.
"You don't have to own a large piece of land or a lot of resources to get rich very quickly, but you do need to go to school. That didn't use to be true. It used to be that it didn't matter how smart you were, if you weren't the king or part of the noble classes you were toast" (Juan likes the word 'toast').
"Now you can get wealthy, and you can do it very quickly, but you have to do it through education. You see, the consequences of not being educated today are far different from what they were. You know, in the 1950s you had a high school diploma, you went to Detroit you did fine. That's not true anymore." So, it's no pleasure for Juan to recount a meeting he attended along with the governor of Michigan three years ago with GM workers, where "60% didn't consider it necessary for their kids to go to college. There are consequences of that decision."
This is one example of what Juan calls an 'anti-intellectual backlash'. I wonder, given that today more and more people have access to knowledge, why he perceives a rejection of engaging with it, applying it, or understanding it in some quarters? It's something Mark Bedau talked about when I was in Denmark and it's something I see too. I call it 'aspirations to mediocrity' and it worries me, because if you're not informed you're out of the loop, and you can get left behind. And people who get left behind tend to get angry at some point.
Juan argues that to succeed as a nation, a corporation, an individual you have to be agile, to adapt. "It took me a damn long time to figure out. It's Darwin. It's the ability to adapt and adopt. It's not the most powerful who survive, it those who best adapt to change."
"In the US there's powerful anti-intellectual tradition that battles against the aspirations of the founding fathers. One of the most important things that people keep forgetting about America and the reason why I think America became truly a world power is because so many of the founders were adamant about education and science. Just look at Franklin, or Jefferson and you'll see people deeply committed to critical thinking and education. There was a huge tradition of science and technology education, freedom of inquiry and that's powered this country in an extraordinary way. But there's a backlash to that."
Juan believes the backlash is born of (reasonable) fear. "If you look at and a lot of the things that we're building, they're scary as hell to some people. You talk about programming cells or sentient robots or evolution of the species using technology – that is profoundly disturbing to some people because this stuff is very powerful. It upends industries, it changes how long we live, it changes what our kids may look like. I look at that stuff and say, 'OK, it allows people who couldn't have children to have children. We're going to do away with some of the diseases, and so on'. Other people look at that in absolute horror. They say, 'Stop the world. This isn't natural. This isn't what God ordered. I want to get off.' They're looking for an element of stability and certainty. This desire tends to manifest most during the periods of fastest change, like now. You want something to hold on to. And if you're not part of that ride, if you don't think you can play in that game then you get this anti-intellectual counterpoint."
Hello creationism.
It strikes me that maybe one of the implicit drivers behind the creationism renaissance is so profound a fear of the possibility of us deliberately evolving into something else (Juan dubs this next technology-enhanced hominid homo evolutis) that one line of defence is to deny evolution's central role in the world. In the Edge Foundation's lovely book What are you optimistic about? Juan wrote an essay in which he said that our change as a species "will involve an ever-faster accumulation of small, useful improvements that eventually turn homo sapiens into a new hominid. We will likely see glimpses of this long-lived, partly mechanical, partly regrown creature that continues to rapidly drive its own evolution. …many of our grandchildren will likely engineer themselves into what we would consider a new species, one with extraordinary capabilities". Intelligent design indeed. If you're religious (or even if you're not) it's no surprise that the 'Man playing God' argument is strongly attractive. It's a worry for a lot of people, and, I'd say, not an unreasonable one.
Juan isn't worried about our self-directed evolution. "The notion of evolving into something else is terrifying until you consider the question 'Are Russ Limbaugh and Howard Stern the be all and end all of evolution?' If that's all she wrote, then I'm scared. I look at this stuff and say, 'if my kids could live 200 years with a good quality of life, if they could see a lot further than I could, if the could re-grow their joints, if they can hear a lot better than I can, if they could have brains that were 50 times as powerful as mine? Good for them. Cool. I'd rather things carry on.' "
But can our moral frameworks keep up? (Einstein famously said "It has become appallingly obvious that out technology has exceeded our humanity".) Juan has an interesting observation. "To me religion looks like an evolutionary tree. Every civilisation has to a greater or lesser extent some religious moral background. There has to be some evolutionary advantage to having that kind of moral backbone and that kind of belief system, and I think it's because it traces how you move from a hunter-gatherer society, where everybody knows each other and watches each other all day, into a town, into a city, into an empire… And just like most animals almost every religion and God has gone extinct. The interesting question is which ones survive and how do they survive and how do those moral backbones evolve? And what does a moral ethical background look like, should you start to speciate, should you start to alter fundamental characteristics of what we consider human?"
One thing history has taught us is that knowledge advances no matter how hard you try to suppress it. As Septimus Hodge says in Tom Stoppard's Arcadia "You do not suppose, my lady, that if all of Archimedes had been hiding in the great library of Alexandria, we would be at a loss for a corkscrew?" You can stop knowledge's advance in some places for a while if you're brutally draconian or conservative but not for long – and the more technology allows autonomy of the individual (from wireless internet access to the world's knowledge, to power independence through solar technology) the harder it becomes to suppress the spirit of enquiry that characterises enough of the human race to ensure that the growth of knowledge marches on. It's harder to stop people discovering stuff when we aim to give a laptop to every child. "When you start putting every MIT course online, when kids start having access to TED talks…" Juan looks into space. "You know, knowledge is the great equaliser". Knowledge is growing exponentially, and for those who want to engage, access to it is becoming easier.
I return to my current preoccupation – what moral frameworks are useful in this ever changing world? Well, if we take the evolutionary argument, it's the ones that adapt and adopt. Those belief systems that are agile enough to keep us kind while embracing change are likely to prevail. If there is an evolutionary advantage to having a moral set of beliefs or a God that embodies them then you can't keep your God static. Your God better evolve with you. This, I think, doesn't mean watering down the essential need for compassion, it means helping us work out how to continually keep it central to what we do in a rapidly changing world. This is why Karen Armstrong's 'Charter for Compassion' is so interesting.
The future won't be a smooth ride. "Things evolve at different times at different paces, people make different choices and that's one of the reason countries disappear so often. There really are consequences to your choices. If you choose to shut your doors and not follow technology you will vapourise your sovereignty. So, there are galactically stupid policies as far as individual countries are concerned. The future of the species worries me a lot less"
One thing Juan is worried about is what happens to those nations that don't engage with the knowledge revolution. "There's going to be a great deal more failed states. That's bad. I mean there used to a restructuring mechanism for failed states – Genghis Khan would come by and install a government. Today, in a knowledge economy, why would you want to go and take over a failed state?"
I'd argue that a failed state represents an opportunity, an under-utilised platform of potential human innovation. After all, Singapore was a failed state 50 years ago, an example Juan uses regularly to demonstrate how nations can turn themselves around in short order if they invest in education and knowledge creation. Perhaps it won't be Genghis Kahn coming by looking for natural resources, perhaps it'll be Craig Venter or Google looking for untapped smarts. Let's insist they bring Karen Armstrong with them.
I'll leave the interview there – if I covered everything we spoke about I'd be writing the book. There's a lot of ideas here I'm still not pulling together coherently, but it's a start and I welcome comment.
By coincidence my interaction with Juan doesn't end when I say goodbye to him at his office. I bump into him and his wife – a warm and sociable curator – at the airport, flying to New York to celebrate their anniversary. It's a rare opportunity to discuss things 'off topic' and it's nice to hear them talk warmly of their children and upcoming birthday celebrations. There's something deeply comforting about hearing one of the most interesting thinkers on the planet discuss what flavour of birthday cake to get.
I arrive in New York and make my way to Long Island City, where I'm staying with my friend Colin, a neuroscientist that I once shared a house with in London, and a man equally caressed by doubt and genius. He's actually in San Diego tonight being courted by a biotech research laboratory so I have his place to myself. The apartment is full of papers with titles like: "Hippocampal CA3 output is crucial for ripple-associated reactivation and consolidation of memory". What's different about seeing this sort of thing today as compared to coming across similarly titled documents during the time we lived together is that now I want to pick these things up and understand them. Not tonight though, my mind is full of everything I've learned in Boston – I feel like a glass of wine.
Round the corner from Colin's I find a great little wine bar called Domaine where I fall into a long conversation with Johanna, a friend of the owners and a fashion designer originally from Peurto Rico. In the end we talk for about 5 hours, drinking fine wine provided by the establishment and cover every subject from religion to politics to art to relationships. It's just what I need and a perfect New York kind of evening, the city where you can meet just about anyone if you're willing to start a conversation…

Emily Robinson
Emily belongs to: Cullercoats Community Centre
Emily was born in Front Street, Cullercoats. Her father was a plasterer and her mother sold fish. Emily worked in London during the war and returned to Cullercoats when she was demobbed.
Emily was interviewed by Kylea Little on 1 March 2006. The interview took place at Cullercoats Community Centre and lasted 23 minutes and 45 seconds.
Mother going away with fish
"Well, my father was a plasterer on buildings, and my mother was a housewife, of course, with a large family, until I went to school, and then she began to sell fish"
Well, my father was a plasterer on buildings, and my mother was a housewife, of course, with a large family, until I went to school, and then she began to sell fish. She used a creel and travelled to about Cramlington three times a week and sold fish.
I remember the days that she had to go to the Fish Quay and order the fish, she and a lady neighbour. And then, it used to be delivered- we had a large back yard, it used to be delivered in boxes with lots of ice. And then, the next morning they would pack their creels and off they went. Heavy work.
A lot of ladies did that- I dont know all their names now, of course, but a lot of ladies did that, and then later, I think after the war, when things began to be, we say, a little more modernised, one or two of them got little vans and did the selling of fish that way. But my mother used a creel.

As law enforcement has been sifting through a SoHo basement, businesses in that Manhattan neighborhood have been affected. Our Courtney Gross has the story.
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. -- The investigation into the disappearance of Etan Patz has crippled a family for more than 30 years. And for the past few days it's also taking its toll on some of the premiere stores of SoHo. Like camper.
Kevin Aranzales, Camper Supervisor said, "Traffic is almost nonexistent. Most people that come by just want to stand by and take pictures. So it's definitely hurt our numbers. The whole week we haven't been able to hit budget. It's very tragic for the family but it's definitely affecting business. Not just us but pretty much everybody in the area."
Since Thursday, the NYPD and FBI have been excavating a basement on this Prince Street block. The former work space of Othneil Miller, who was a handyman in the area the last time Etan Patz was seen in 1979.
They have blocked off this block. Leaving SoHo shoppers looking elsewhere for their designer wears. While business is down as much as twenty percent for these high end stores, some realize the price they pay doesn't compare to what the Patzs' have.
Peter Mugavero, Cole Haan Manager said, "The parents still live in the area and I think it's great they are trying to do something for them. As much as it's not helping our business, I have no problems with it."
Officials estimate about eight businesses have had to shutter their doors here on Prince Street because of the investigation. And while most in the surrounding area have lost business, a few are in the black. Like this coffee and sandwich shop.
Angel Rodriquez, Olive's Manager said, "Business went up a bit. Agents, NYPD, and tourists all seeing what's happening. So it's been good for us unfortunately."
The investigation is expected to pick up again on Monday. So these businesses will likely see more of the FBI than trend setters.

text: The time is fast approaching for you to sparkle the night away and dazzle the party crowds at your Prom. And as you all know, this highly anticipated event isn't just any fun party that's marked on your social calendar. It's a night that you'll truly treasure and remember for the rest of your life. With this in mind, looking your absolute best and stepping into your party with a style that's guaranteed to amaze comes as a top priority. To prepare, it's best to give yourself ample time in scouring the fashion racks…embarking on the quest towards landing your ultimate prom dress look. A night as special as your Prom will be remembered for years to come. And odds are that you'll be spending a ton of your styling energies on coordinating all the right elements (shoes, clutch handbags, jewelry and all) to match your dress – possibly more time than any other event. That is, until the next momentous event comes along, which involves finding your dream wedding dress. And for the particular event, you know that it's not just about finding a hot dress that's trendy and will turn heads. It's also about scoring the right look that will match well with your body type, and more importantly, your personal style and taste. Following the trends for the current season isn't a cardinal rule in the fashion books. It's important to feel confident and comfortable in your beautiful designer dress. Hence, when gaining inspiration to fuel your shopping escapades, consider the hot fashion trends for 2014, brought to you by Camille La Vie, and determine which looks will complement beautifully with your own style, personality and beauty/hair choices for prom. Most popular trends for prom dresses:Many 2014 prom dresses go with bright and vivid colors and accessories. Grab the attention of the crowd with bold and vibrant colors since they're a major trend. Imagine a neon coral, electric blue, or bright fuchsia. These types of colors work well as solids or you can wear exciting prints and patterns, such as a floral dress or an animal print style. Complement your bold colors with chunky beading, like a statement-making necklace or bracelet cuff with rhinestones. Alternatively, if you're looking for colors in romantic and softer hues, pink blush tones and nudes reflect a calm femininity. One-shoulder dresses. One of the top trends is definitely the one shoulder prom dress. They're very prevalent amongst celebrities as evening dresses and are a favorite on the red carpet as the style creates a statuesque silhouette that flatters your curves and draws the eyes toward all of your flattering and stylish features. Opt for shorter length if you're looking to showcase your long and leggy stems while creating an interesting asymmetrical look at the top, or slip on and try long prom dresses for a more dramatic and floor-sweeping look that's equally just as red-carpet ready. Strapless dresses. A few special neckline trends are emerging this season. Trends for prom 2014 include a pretty strapless & sweetheart neckline will showcase your beautiful features and are very popular this season. If you're looking for a sweet and demure style that highlights lovely, feminine qualities such as your collarbone and shoulders, strapless prom dresses are a highly recommended option. And with the variety of fits, shapes and lengths, the fashion dress selections are seemingly endless. Try a strapless empire long dress for a Grecian goddess look, a short bodycon strapless short dress to amplify your sultry, sassy side or perhaps a strapless A-line long dress for a more classic and timeless style vibe. High to low prom dresses. Get the best of both worlds with this hemline style (short at the front and long at the back). It's a dress length that's very reminiscent of those seen on designer runway shows. It also allows you to showcase a killer pair of heels. And if you're looking for a hot dress style that's very much on-trend for this year's prom, hi-lo dresses are certainly the way to go! Its versatility allows you to wear this style for virtually all occasions both day and evening. You can combine your fun and sassy side while combining a more dramatic aura at the back if you're in the mood to wear something reminiscent of a sweeping dress with slight train. Frilly short dresses. Another gorgeous trend is a short prom dress that shows off a bit more leg. You can try a demure A-line style with perhaps some mesh wire hemlines or go for a fierce bodycon dress. If you're looking a dress shape that's more flared dresses with a mirrored corset bodice are a highly popular fashion option. It combines a fitted and structured shape around your torso and wispy A-line skirt hemline comprised of tulle. And if sleek and body-skimming is what you're after, strapless short dresses are great options to accentuate your curves and showcase your legs. |

Nebraska– Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme $47
Nevada – Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme $57
The Anatomy Of a Call to Action Button (1)
A call to action button is one of the most important things you can have on your websites, especially if you need your user to perform a certain action. You can see call to action buttons everywhere – from online stores to the websites that try to convince people to sign against ACTA. But what makes a good call to action button and how can I design me one?
According to the wikipedia definition, a "call to action" is
a banner, button, or some type of graphic or text on a website meant to prompt a user to click it and continue down a conversion funnel
In plain English, the declared objective of a call to action area is to determine the user to perform some kind of an action – weather that action is to buy something, to invest some time in reading more information about a subject or to be willing to give his email address. If you have the slightest interest in things like "conversion rates" and the "conversion funnel" than odds are you need some form of call to action – weather this is a whole area (like a contact form) or just a little juicy button. In this post I will share with you my basic line of thought when I'm designing one of these call to action buttons.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all our customers, fans, family, friends and envato.
Thanks for your trust in 2012!
Next year we'll be back with amazing new and fresh ideas.

STARZ tunes up to premiere original miniseries "Dancing on the Edge," Oct. 19
ABOVE PHOTO: Janet Montgomery as Sarah, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Louis Lester in STARZ's "Dancing on the Edge."
Golden Globe Nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor and Matthew Goode lead international ensemble, along with Jacqueline Bisset and John Goodman
Beverly Hills, Calif--Starz announced the U.S. television premiere of the musical drama "Dancing on the Edge," an original miniseries from the multi-award winning writer/director Stephen Poliakoff (Glorious 39, Gideon's Daughter, The Lost Prince), is set to premiere on STARZ in October 19, 10 PM ET/PT. [Check local television listings for STARZ channels]
The riveting five-episode miniseries features original lyrics and music from the Emmy Award-winning musician and composer Adrian Johnston (Gideon's Daughter, Shackleton, Kinky Boots, Brideshead Revisited), performed by actresses Angel Coulby and Wunmi Mosaku, who sing on screen for the first time.
Inspired by accounts of the prolific Duke Ellington Band's mingling with the future Duke of Windsor Edward VIII in Europe, Dancing on the Edge takes place in London during the early 1930s. The story illustrates the journey of a group of Black jazz musicians – the Louis Lester Band – as they steadily rise to stardom, a result of performing at various elite social gatherings hosted by London's aristocrats. Although Britain's climate was flourishing with extraordinary social change, much of the upper-class loathed the idea of Black musicians performing in polite society. Still, the city's more progressive socialites (including members of the Royal Household) befriend the ensemble and introduce them to posh life. The blissful eminence surrounding the band abruptly changes when the band members are entangled in a murder conspiracy.
Golden Globe nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (Twelve Years of a Slave–releasing in December 2013, Salt, American Gangster) stars as the debonair band leader of his self-titled "Louis Lester Band," who befriends an ambitious music journalist named Stanley, played by co-star Matthew Goode (Stoker, A Single Man, Brideshead Revisited). Ejiofor and Goode are joined by Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee Jacqueline Bisset (Joan of Arc, Two Jacks) who plays the influential Lady Cremone, along with Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner John Goodman (The Monuments Men, Inside Llewyn Davis–both set to release in December 2013, Monster's University) who portrays the affluent American entrepreneur named Masterson.
The sultry songstresses of the Louis Lester Band are played by Angel Coulby ("The Tunnel," "Merlin") playing Jessie and Wunmi Mosaku (I Am Slave, "The Body Farm") as Carla, who both lend their extraordinary, authentic vocals to the miniseries. The striking cast also includes Janet Montgomery (Black Swan, "Entourage") as Sarah, the insightful photographer; Anthony Head (The Iron Lady, "Merlin," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") portrays the compassionate gentleman named Donaldson; and Tom Hughes ("The Lady Vanishes," Cemetery Junction) plays Julian, the employee of Masterson and socialite brother of Pamela played by Joanna Vanderham ("The Runaway," "Young Herriot").
"Dancing on the Edge" was filmed on location in London and Birmingham on a moving set over four months and was executive produced by an acclaimed production team including: James D. Stern, Douglas E. Hansen and Colin Callender (The White Queen, Magic City); Alison Owen (Jane Eyre, The Men Who Stare at Goats), Paul Trijbits (Saving Mr. Banks, Jane Eyre) and Poliakoff; Dan Lawson and Peter Hampden. The miniseries was produced by Nicky Kentish Barnes (Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Match Point) and Faye Ward (Toast, Jane Eyre) for Ruby Film and Television.
Ruby Film and Television produced the series for BBC Two, supported by Endgame Entertainment, Playground Entertainment, Creative England (through the Advantage Media Production Fund (previously managed by Screen West Midlands)) and LipSync Productions. ITV Studios Global Entertainment will distribute the series internationally.

that's just a few off the top of my head
Nobody in the current cast of SNL would be in my top 100, and I've been watching since the first season.
Phil Hartman was, and still is #1. He played the best straight man ever. When he was killed, he was responsible for making 2 shows jump the shark, SNL & The Simpsons.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
I started watching during the first season as well. I skipped a bunch during the 80s but have tuned in off and on from the 90s till today. Here's my list (in order):
1) Dan Aykroyd
2) Bill Murray
3) John Belushi
4) Eddie Murphy
5) Will Farrell
6) Mike Meyers
7) Phil Hartman
8) Dana Carvey
9) Tina Fey (makes the list due to her writing)
10) Jon Lovitz
For anybody who has been around long enough to remember the first few seasons, there is just no denying how important Danny Aykroyd was to the show--both as a writer and performer. His humor set the tone for everything that has come after. Bill Murray was a genius--no brainer. Belushi and Eddie Murphy might switch places; Murphy was definitely a better comedian and performer, but Belushi really personified the attitude of the era, and what SNL used to stand for. The rest are just the best writers/performers...you could always count on them to bring 100% to their skits. The top-4 are unassailable IMHO.
Adam Sandler can suck a bag of dicks. I don't give a shit how popular he was or how much money he's made. SNL was, for me at least, about transgressive humor; Sandler is about as mainstream as they come.

I'm not a fan of the current cast, but I gained a lot of respect for Bill Hader when I learned he writes for South Park.
Armisen's OK I guess. I'm sure I liked something he's done, but can't remember what.
Oh and that fat guy who does the drunk uncle bit needs to be pushed down a flight of stairs.

Great list -> The second list, not the OP
Here's my Top 10:
1. Bill Hader
2. Seth Meyers
3. Bobby Moynihan
4. Nasim Pedrad
5. Kate McKinnon
6. Jason Sudeikis
7. Kenan Thompson
8. Jay Pharoah
9. Taran Killam
10. Ben Stiller
1. Gilbert Gotfried
2. Terry Sweeney
3. Robert Downey Jr.
4. Sarah Silverman
5. Chris Elliott
6. Joe Piscopo
7. Janeane Garofalo
8. Victoria Jackson
9. Rob Schneider
10. Artie Lange
Will Ferrell
Phil Hartman
Rachel Dratch
Chris Farley
Jimmy Fallon
Tracy Morgan
Molly Shannon
David Spade
Norm Macdonald
Bill Hader
Hell, the entire 70s cast, the entire All Star Cast (Billy Crystal, Martin Short, etc.), and the entire mid to late 90s cast (Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Dan Hartman, etc.) all are ahead of Armisen. And that is before you start picking individuals from other casts like Murphy and Ferrell.

Despised Icon
Day Of Mourning
More than almost any other band melding technical death metal and hardcore, Despised Icon has been remarkably consistent. Sure, plenty in the much-maligned sub-genre haven't been around long enough or released enough material for anyone to form a rational basis for comparison, but that doesn't discount the fact that this band has delivered time and time again. So it should come as no surprise that Day of Mourning, the group's fourth full-length and first with guitarist Ben Landreville and bassist Max Lavelle, absolutely rips from start to finish.
Finding a few songs buried in the muck of most albums of this ilk is often a wasted effort. Somehow, someway, this band continues its creative streak and defies the deathcore stereotype. There are some damn fine songs here. From the stringy, sinewy riffs and powerful, almost doom-like breakdowns in "Black Lungs" to the punishing, almost boastful bellows in single "MVP," Day of Mourning is loaded from front to back with recognizable, often hook-laden tracks.
The sheer energy of some of these songs is astounding. The aforementioned "Black Lungs" is a great example of what this band can bring to the table when they just let things fly. A simple word like "fun" seems most appropriate. "Entre Le Bien Et Le Mal," aside from giving away the band's origins, proves that a band doesn't have to veer too far from its established sound to remain creative and interesting. The crawling feel to it exudes an almost threatening vibe. And at just under 35 minutes the album doesn't overstay its welcome.
If you're looking for a departure of sound, you're not going to find it here. Think of this release as a logical continuation of the band's discography. To a good number of fans, The Healing Process will forever remain their magnum opus. I am not among those fans. There's something to be said for age and maturation. The Ills of Modern Man was Despised Icon finding its bearings, channeling its collective firepower and blowing the lid off any and all genre trappings. Day of Mourning is an unsupervised Despised Icon doing backflips in the deep end of the community pool, splashing the green suckers foolish enough to think they're able to keep up.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Our campaigner in chief pounds -- -- -- once again.
Like its election season he is desperately trying to push through stricter gun control laws now the anointed one with a soaring rhetoric took his case today to the people of Minnesota.
And made think one think loud and clear about his gun control policies while it's not a perfect solution.
There won't be perfect solutions we're not gonna save every life but we can make a difference.
That's our responsibility.
As Americans.
That's what I'll do.
Every single day as laws I've got the honor of serving as your president.
I'm not a perfect solution -- make no mistake about what Obama's doing today it's a blatant move to undercut the NRA he's trying to directly appeal to their membership.
And as he spoke in front of the Minneapolis police department claiming -- owners support his common sense gun control measures.
Now it's senseless arguments like this that literally do nothing to advance even his costs.
We still had a -- limit on magazines for example the gunman who shot -- May never been able to inflict 33 gunshot wounds in fifteen seconds.
Fifteen seconds 33.
Rounds fired.
Some of the six.
People who lost their lives that day in tuscon might still be with us.
Are there is no way that he could draw that conclusion and Mr.
President that is what we call rampant speculation.
Now the president is pressing for a ban on military style firearms universal background checks for gun buyers probably something the NRA vehemently claims is nothing more than a way to punish.
Good law abiding citizens.
It's -- fraud -- call universal it's never going to be universal the criminals are gonna comply with -- they could care less you're not gonna computerized.
-- -- senior not gonna computerize the -- health records.
So here's what's gonna have we ought to quit caller right now a universal check the real title ought to be to check on law abiding people all over this country.
-- -- thanks to take away from his campaign today and what was nothing short of a stunt one what you're seeing is an opportunistic president attempting to push through legislation that may look good.
But clearly does not need to make sense number two there's a president who continues to have misplaced priorities.
Where's the same attention where's the intensity when it comes to the lack of jobs and fifty million Americans on food stamps now we learned last week that the economy actually was shrinking.
Unemployment is back up to seven point 9%.
And all this news is pouring out but here's what the president is addressing.
I'm here today because the -- let's come.
For common sense.
Immigration reform my attitude is that -- lesbians should have.
Access and -- and opportunity.
The same -- everybody -- for us.
In every institution of walk -- life the only way -- We can reduce gun violence in this country is if the American people decide it's important if you decide it's important.
If parents and teachers police officers and pastors.
Hunters and sportsmen.
Americans of every background stand up and say this time it's gotta be different.
And your course of reaction author columnist the one and only Ann -- by the when you see the picture the president's speech shooting which he finally revealed.
Noticed and thought this picture first of all when you skeet shooting you shoot opposite number one he's not I'm holding out right and holding the clay farm.
The great constitutional law scholar apparently -- into the Second Amendment was because the framers of the constitution really -- skeet shooting no that's not what it's about.
Waiting for the photos of him.
-- him taking birth control pills to show him fighting the war on women got a point.
-- let's go to what it is interest in here.
President right now only wants to talk about is.
Did he started about the gay scout masters apparently and accepting gay scout masters gay marriage.
Gun control watering down welfare requirements.
-- abortion rights war on when everything but.
The bad economy right strategic purpose quote.
But I really would like to concentrate on the -- -- -- They are that is being are being repeated in on the op Ed page of the New York Times in the editorials -- -- -- -- the president himself.
On he says if -- if we want to do something to reduce these.
Gun shootings all we have to do is for the American people to want to do something like the hunters.
-- we need the ACLU -- liberals will -- do anything about the mentally ill TV series south stopping these shootings this kid who was.
Who was kidnapped and in Alabama and just finally released today that that was a crazy man who took -- every one knew we was crazy the American -- sniper this great American male.
More American shots of the enemy than any other military man he was killed by a -- with.
A history of mental problems -- -- -- he listens to conservative talk radio and and my -- gets a -- rock.
-- Tucson at these are crazy people that is the problem everything are telling you about what they can do about guns is a why the problem with.
Universal background checks is we basically have universal background checks now.
Any licensed gun dealer is performing -- background check the buyer may not know someone at a gun show may not know but if you are walking through gun show everybody's doing background checks.
The only people who are not subjected to background checks are our collector is giving loans to their songs or there.
The selling -- to their brother in law -- something the only way to enforce a universe universal the last point one -- cents.
Of guns that are transferred by collectors and so on is to have universal gun -- what -- out.
-- wait that's an important point I am listening.
For some reason Wayne Lapierre is not making -- you're gonna have to hear from me.
Universal background check means universal registration universal registration means universal confiscation universal.
That's how it goes in history do not fall -- Universal background checks.
Point to -- this thing about how in the New York Times editorial page today or yesterday.
And from the hearings last week that a gun in the home is more likely to be used against that owner.
Man to kill an intruder OK just two points about that the whole thing has a line.
That is because most -- the -- on guns used in the home to kill someone is suicide that's more than 90% of those cases.
On the you might say well but then having -- means they're going to commit suicide they wouldn't have other.
Otherwise no that is false.
Gone on the suicide rates do not go -- with the availability of guns the Japanese for example have no -- they have twice -- suicide rate.
You see the same -- state to state no matter what the gun laws are suicide rates have nothing to do with that.
And finally what we only counts -- a homeowner repelling an intruder if -- -- If he kills these holes and until police arrived.
No that doesn't -- in the equation this is why they're telling you in order to prevent Americans from self defense from protecting themselves and that only the government -- A monopoly on guns let me ask you because I think it -- it fits with the narrative of Obama talks about gay rights to -- talks about guns and he talks about immigration he talks about climate control.
Then the media -- raced every Republican what do you think about what Obama said and we don't focus on the economy one other issue.
We got just about all of your point right there it's just -- they're talking about it's it's -- must -- you -- people who are little.
Gun owners and Obama alone look at him he cares about the children screw you you think we can't -- the children you -- you won't do anything about the mentally ill.
Mass -- have gone up astronomically in the last thirty years since the.
Republican want to hurt early in air and water they want kids about a dozen downs syndrome doesn't.
An opponent like I don't question was -- number the indeed if and then it goes into for example yet senator Menendez is involved in.
Potentially an underage prostitution scandal Brian okay being flown out by this guy that allows expose the -- eleven point one million dollars and but if he was a foot tapping.
Bathroom stall Republican or whose name was Mark Foley.
All right we'll be all over the fact that all we've got a huge scandal -- and the culture of corruption that exists within the Republican Party where's the coverage of this in the mainstream media and.
Giving at the John Edwards got drenched pretty much is Al -- not covering it and yeah okay and -- it's not true but there's certainly more evidence.
With the -- underage processors themselves sending in videos and Skyping and testifying to senator Menendez having seconds I'm flying to the Dominican Republic.
All of which was broken and covered by the daily -- since you -- read -- about it in the New York Times look up the daily dollar.
There's certainly more evidence for that and that was for all of the claim that Romney didn't pay his taxes -- fight.
Last question there is this battle -- going on -- in the New York Times your favorite newspaper.
I -- establishment Republicans want more influence Boris say wanna raise more money for candidates to stop Tea Party.
Candidates from winning elections now a Tea Party candidate for example would be Marco Rubio Rand Paul Mike -- Ted Cruz.
And a bowl XL is there -- loser embattled governor get terrible mistake to stop those man.
But it's also look I don't know I doubt that that is how they have builds their pack I do think that Republicans.
-- it should not have -- Sharon angle it turns out Christine O'Donnell Richard Murdoch -- -- we have given -- senate seats.
And and outlook Republican governor warned to stop talking about abortion I'm Rick just say yes an exception McMartin case -- -- And -- we have problems like that -- also as the senate and could cost us the amnesty didn't cost us obamacare.
We do have to be careful to get candidates who aren't gonna say stupid things I I I'm not at Talladega.
Is being built there are other good Tea Party conservatives running -- -- it wasn't just tonight we got to -- Coulter is good to see you good to see you.

Our rugs are created using ancient techniques of master tribal weavers from the mountains of Northern India. Through this rich tradition, we produce strikingly beautiful hand-knotted, hand-tufted and flat woven designs for our discerning clientele.
Jaipur rugs range from contemporary and transitional to lush traditionals with rich colors and stunning appearance. Best of all, Jaipur Rugs brings this excellence, beauty, and distinction --affordably-- into contemporary American homes
