Ugliest Car Ever Made in USA
That is Hudson Italia.See the picture you will understand
I have to agree with an earlier post; the mid to late 70's Montego/Granada/T-bird's, et.
On the big cars, the "Car-as-a-Casket" motif at least seemed to work. Or, at least- you got it. The little cars were downright laughable.1974_ford_mustang_ii_ghia_2dr_coupe-05_116157181047806.jpg400 x 215 - 13K -

I stand corrected -
Those things that look like exhaust pipes coming out of the the rear fenders are actually lights...
....It just like the saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" I Like the style of the Hudson Italia, I think it's cool :cool: looking... -
It's parked next to a Caddy so it can't be all bad:D
my vote is for a couple cars. one the box on steroids from scion, the honda element, which my ex really loved(as i make gagging sounds), and the crx-suv thing honda did, oh and the aztec and rendevous.
I must disagree.

I'm afraid that I have to say that the 1957 Packard hawk is one of the ugliest cars ever made. Since the 57 Packards were just re-labeled Studebakers they added some strange looking chrome trim and a bizarre lip like opening for the grill that looked just plain stupid. It's no wonder they called them Packard-Bakers
I love most Packards the 1937 120 2 door with a rumble seat is what I would love to have as a daily driver or a 1936 V-12 convertible sedan, if I could keep it in gas!
It was not intended to be a compliment.
My vote for second place in the ugly car race would be the Rambler Marlin!
Third has to go to the pacer -
I think that the Subaru B9 Tribeca is one of the ugliest cars. It looks like a custom shop mixed a 58 Edsel with one of those "box" Scions, and then put a lift kit. Now, although I like the Edsel, I think the Edsel styling that they put on the B9 Tribeca really looks bad on a SUV. And didn't they think that after how poorly the Edsel sold back in 1958 (and they really don't sell that great even today, at least from what I hear) the B9 Tribeca would sell badly, too. Maybe that's why I have only seen a few on the road, and I don't see the commercials for them anymore.
Hi, Maybe "back east" or in California, the Aztec and Tribeca are ugly, but here in farm country, where distances are long, they both were(and are) very practical vehicles, that get great fuel economey. And the Aztec came with a "hard rubber" floor in the rear. I had to take a small minature horse to the vet in the back of my Aztec, at 80 plus miles an hour,and then washed out the rear with a hose. Unfortunataly, the horse passed on to his reward. Steve.

Almost as ugly as the Citroen 2CV.
I gotta say, you must be on drugs.
That car isn't ugly; it's just weird. You know how sometimes a new model takes some getting used to before you can appreciate it... then it seems fine, when you used to think of it as ugly. I reckon you just never got used to the DS.
Which is understandable, I guess, since noone ever jumped on that bandwagon...
But anyway, here's the reason I'm posting here at all. I found this thread Googling for the world's ugliest car, since I'm trying to find out exactly what this is...
Looks like a Powell Homer.
More details coming to light (it's in a 'guess the car' thread on another forum):
It was produced in limited numbers, thankfully.
It was billed as a "safety car" and was built on a truck chassis with 20" wheels.
The one-and-only door was at the rear.
The dashboard was walnut inlaid with gold ( ! ), upholstery was velvet, and the carpets were Ming-patterned. Sounds more like the inside of a house. When you opened the door, steps would lower to make entry easier.
Mechanicals were by International Harvester.
...Here we go: Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan. Pfff
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_(automobile) -
Oops, that link's bung, and the edit button disappeared...
The Ostentatienne Opera Sedan was offered at a F.O.B. price of $19,600 (1967), had a weight of 5,740 lb (2,600 kg), and sat on a 119 in (3.02 m) wheelbase. Prices have also been quoted at $25,600. [1] Tires for the vehicle were nitrogen filled 7.50â€x20†(USA). The Ostentatienne was powered by an International Harvester truck engine. Entry into the car was from the rear; solid steel side rails (designed to protect passengers during a crash) prevented doors along the vehicles sides. The Ostentatienne could be ordered customized to suit its buyer's wishes; Ming styled oriental rugs, refrigerators and sealed beam taillights were some of the options available. Production is estimated at three to four vehicles per year. -
That pic might disappear, since it's just in some dude's Photobucket.
Here's one for posterity at box.net. http://www.box.net/public/fo3gn5miem
Sorry, no direct link -
NO it's ugly and weird actually! -
well my thoughts on the aztec are from a by-stander's point of view and a mechanics since i have had the "privilege" of working on a few in my days of working at the dealership that my dad works at. i'm not denouncing its usability or practical use of it, i'm sure that it does what's needed of it, i'm just sayin its ugly. my regards to your horse by the way PIERCEARROW1935
No ugly cars, only ugly drivers. I'm one........
Pontiac Aztec. Hands down, thumbs down.
I've gotta say the Nissan Cube. A guy I have coffee with has one- I went with him to pick up a car, and I distinctly remember kind of hunkering down when I drove it back home, hoping no one would recognize me. Recent poll on the 7 cars you would be most embarrassed to be seen in- Hummer came in 3rd, Cube 2nd, and the winner is. . . The Smart Car! Typical comment was "It looks like you couldn't afford a real car." Funny part was, the young folks disliked it even more than the seasoned citizens- I thought young'uns were supposed to like any thing "green".

By Andrew Barksdale Staff writer
The stories can pull at people's hearts - someone is stranded and needs money for the bus, or to fix a broken car, or just to eat.
But in most cases, police say, the reasons panhandlers hit up shoppers outside Fayetteville stores are anything but legitimate.
Panhandling in commercial parking lots is becoming a growing problem in the city, which five years ago tried to ban unsolicited pleas for money in public places.
While the ordinance may have helped curb panhandling downtown, more beggars have discovered that they can get away with it outside shopping centers, hitting up people as they get out of their cars.
And shopping center owners are part of the reason why.
Stacy Sanders, the homeless project officer for the Fayetteville Police Department, said officers have difficulty enforcing the 2008 ordinance on private property without the cooperation of the business or landowner.
The ordinance, which makes it illegal to panhandle in many public places, also bans it on private property if the owner or tenant has asked the person not to solicit or has posted "no trespassing" or "no soliciting" signs.
Getting property owners to cooperate is not easy, though, because some don't understand their role and others don't take the time to follow through. Before police can charge a panhandler where signs are posted, the owner must go downtown to the county jail and sign paperwork.
If no signs are posted, the owner must meet the officer outside the business and point out the panhandler before police can cite or arrest him on the misdemeanor offense.
Most business or property owners are unwilling to go to all that trouble, Sanders said.
In a December email to police supervisors, Sanders said the panhandling ban covers most parts of the city, including in or near roadways, all of downtown, in parks and on city buses.
"However, many panhandlers are getting smart and know they can go onto private property ... and panhandle without breaking the law," her email said.
Police have begun appealing to business and property owners for more cooperation, and they are asking for the public's help, too.
Last week, police began distributing new pamphlets warning the public to avoid panhandlers.
"Truly, you are helping panhandlers and your fellow citizens by saying no," the pamphlets say. They list several local agencies that provide emergency housing, meals and other assistance that people can suggest to the beggar.
Sanders said many panhandlers are not homeless, and many use the money they collect to buy drugs and alcohol. She said business owners often are unaware that panhandlers on their property can hurt sales.
"When you give to a panhandler," the pamphlet says, "there is a pretty good chance you are contributing to a profession - not someone who needs a little money for food and survival."
Police don't have to convince Robyn Kelly. Her family owns the Jumpin' Java Coffee Shop at the Walmart shopping center on Raeford Road in western Fayetteville. She said panhandlers who loiter at the shopping center make her customers and teenage employees uncomfortable when walking outside.
"It just makes our entire area unsafe and undesirable for people to shop in," Kelly said. "The businesses are going to struggle if these guys are allowed to continue to terrorize our area."
Kelly said she has called the police several times about panhandlers.
"When police come out, the panhandlers are gone or they stop panhandling," she said.
Fayetteville developer Joe Riddle, who owns the Ponderosa Shopping Center and the tract that includes the Kohl's store, said his property manager works closely with the police. He called panhandlers a nuisance.
"I think it scares shoppers," Riddle said. "The ones that approach your cars are the worst ones."
Tammy Hopkins, a spokeswoman for Cross Creek Mall, said the mall management does not allow panhandling on the property. It still happens, though.
Sanders said the ordinance's restrictions against panhandling within 50 feet of ATMs, banks and outdoor dining areas give police leeway to cite or arrest panhandlers at the mall or other shopping areas. But proving that the ordinance applies to parking lot thoroughfares and stop-sign intersections is harder in court.
Several people have expressed strong opinions about their encounters with panhandlers in comments on The Fayetteville Observer's Facebook page.
"They need to be arrested!" one woman wrote.
Another woman said she went to three restaurants recently, and at each, someone approached her in the parking lot asking for money.
"Very annoying and creepy," she wrote.
City Councilman Bill Crisp, who lives in western Fayetteville, said panhandlers are a problem.
"They are getting to be a nuisance at the shopping centers," he said.
According to the Police Department, 47 panhandling citations were written in 2012, up from 30 in 2011.
Sanders said police have discretion to warn, cite or arrest panhandlers. Arresting them, however, has little effect on reducing panhandling, she said.
"We can write them a citation all day," she said. "They are given a court date. There is no fine."
She said that most of the time, District Court judges warn the panhandlers they will be fined if they return to their court. The maximum fine, according to the city ordinance, is $500.
Sanders said magistrates normally won't hold panhandlers in jail, but she wishes they would.
"Maybe some panhandlers will think twice about doing it again," Sanders said.
Instead, those arrested for panhandling are released under a nominal unsecured bond, which they are not liable for paying so long as they make their court appearance.
Sharon McLaurin, the chief magistrate for Cumberland County, said the jail does not have enough room to house nonviolent panhandlers who face minor charges of soliciting. Their first court appearance is usually six to eight weeks after the citation, she said.
"A magistrate's job is not to determine innocence or guilt," she said. "Their job is to ensure by bond their appearance in court."
According to county officials, it costs $61 a day to house an inmate.
"I understand officers wanting to solve the problem, but putting panhandlers in jail is not solving the problem," she said.
City Manager Ted Voorhees said no specific ordinance changes are being contemplated now, and he will let police focus on the education campaign to help reduce panhandling.
Councilman Keith Bates said the public bears partial blame.
"People need to stop giving them money, and they'll go away," he said.

We are discussing in developing a site (or a subdomain at neme) to be included in the europeana server. Europeana uses the OAI-PMH Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. The specs can be found here. Can txp produce these?
thanks in advance for any help and/or advice.
neme.org | neme-imca.org | hblack.net | LABS
Outputting content as XML should be doable, but I doubt TXP natively knows about OAI, and no plugin seems to exist. Importing data should be easy, with smd_xml
or etc_query
Hi etc
Thanks for your response. I realise that a custom xml outpout is currently very simple using rah_external but what leaves me scratching my head re the appropriateness of txp is:
Your metadata must conform to the Europeana Semantic Elements, a Dublin Core-based set of fields with additionally 12 specific Europeana elements, which are necessary for records to display correctly in Europeana. Aggregators develop tools with which they can help providers to map their metadata to the Europeana Semantic Elements.
The xml schema in this doc file is requesting a number of fields which I'm yet to be sure if they have to appear in each record (maybe through custom_fields, permlink, excerpt, etc) or if some of them are 'global'
neme.org | neme-imca.org | hblack.net | LABS
It is not very clear from the document, maybe you have an example xml file? I know near to nothing about OAI, sorry.

Blind spot: How a hoax about eye licking went global
From giant robot statues to 90-member girl bands, Japan brews up odd fads faster than you can say Hello Kitty contact lenses.
So it's hardly surprising that news of a new trend centered on Japanese kids who were licking each other's eyeballs for kicks, and spreading pinkeye (aka conjunctivitis) in the process, made the rounds internationally two months ago. It was just too good to resist.
The trend was reported everywhere from Japan to the U.S., Europe, and Africa by sites from The Huffington Post to The Guardian, the Nigerian Tribune, and CNET sister site CBS News.
But all these sites seem to have fallen for a hoax. And as other recent hoaxes have shown (remember the fake study claiming Internet Explorer users were stupid?), the situation is indicative of an enormous global media appetite for bizarre news from anywhere -- and a digital culture in which information spreads almost instantaneously. But when the source is from a foreign language and culture, it's practically a recipe for fake news.

"No other town in the world calls itself Swainsboro. We felt that symbolized the philosophy of Aaron's, which is to be the world's most unique retail and lease ownership concept" R. Charles Loudermilk, Sr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Aaron Rents, Inc. (RNT) announced it will break ground on its 1,000th store location in Swainsboro, GA.
The Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership division is on target to meet the rapid growth goals set earlier in the year by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer R. Charles Loudermilk, Sr. "We are both proud and excited to be able to announce we are breaking ground for our 1,000th Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership location," said Mr. Loudermilk. "We specifically chose Swainsboro, GA as the location for this benchmark because the Swainsboro site offers at least two parallels to Aaron's business plan. First, the beautiful, small town of Swainsboro, GA is completely unique. No other town in the world calls itself Swainsboro. We felt that symbolized the philosophy of Aaron's, which is to be the world's most unique retail and lease ownership concept. Just as no other town can call itself Swainsboro, no other store can say it serves customers like an Aaron's does."

Mr. Loudermilk continued, "The second parallel to Aaron's involves the intersection of our nation's longest highways right through Swainsboro. From Swainsboro, GA, you can get on US Highway 1 to reach the Northern coast of Maine or the southernmost tip of Florida. Or, choose US Highway 80 in Swainsboro to reach our country's Eastern or Western coasts. Just like our customers can get anywhere from Swainsboro, GA, Aaron's will continue to expand our store opening program to serve customers from coast-to-coast in the coming years."
Company officials and local dignitaries will be on hand for the October 7th celebration which will include area school children demonstrating Aaron's "Dreams Come True" philosophy with a release of 1,000 balloons into the skies over Swainsboro. The children will be encouraged to write down a special dream before affixing it to a balloon and releasing it as part of the groundbreaking ceremony. In addition, Aaron's will announce the donation of an Aaron's "Dream Product" from the school's wish lists for each of the participating Swainsboro schools as part of the 1,000th store celebration.
The groundbreaking ceremony will take place today, October 7 at 3:30 P.M. at the site of the newest Aaron's, located at 426 South Main in the new Super Wal-Mart center on the corner of Youmans Road and South Main in Swainsboro. Numerous executives from Aaron's Atlanta home office will be on hand to mark the occasion including R. Charles Loudermilk, Sr., Chairman and CEO; Ken Butler, President; Mark Rudnick, Vice President, Marketing; Dave Boggan, Vice President, Merchandising and Distribution; Marc Rogovin, Vice President, Real Estate; Mike Hickey, Vice President of Management Development; Todd Evans, Vice President of Franchise Development; and Tristan Montanero, Vice President, Central Operations.
Many Swainsboro dignitaries will also be present for the groundbreaking including Mayor Ricky Stevens and several members of the Swainsboro Chamber of Commerce and the Swainsboro/Emanuel County Joint Development Authority. According to Mayor Stevens, "Aaron's is a Georgia-based company with nationwide presence and we are excited to welcome them to Swainsboro. Aaron's has a history of getting involved in the communities where they do business and we know they will do well for the residents of our area."

Chevy Chase Movies
Chevy Chase is often considered one of the most likeable comedic personalities of his generation, even though the immediate popularity he achieved following a single season on Saturday Night Live never translated into more than a couple hit movies, and none after the 1980s. The prematurely balding, intelligent, fast-talking Chase created a couple classic characters, notably Irwin M. Fletcher (aka Fletch) and Vacation's Clark Griswold, but his career is often thought of as plagued by misfires and missed opportunities, rather than touched by comic brilliance.
Born on October 8, 1943, in New York City, Cornelius Crane Chase became known as "Chevy" when his grandmother nicknamed him after Chevy Chase, the wealthy Maryland community. The 6'4" future writer and actor was valedictorian of his high school class before attending Bard College, where he earned a B.A. in English. With a pre-celebrity resumé as varied as any (tennis pro, truck driver, bartender), Chase spent his twenties as a comedy writer for such outlets as the Smothers Brothers and National Lampoon, the latter of which eventually led to a lucrative franchise of Vacation movies. Chase's first stint as a performer was with the New York comedy video workshop Channel One, which evolved into the 1974 film Groove Tube. This afforded Chase the necessary exposure to be hired by Lorne Michaels for the first season of Saturday Night Live in 1975.
Initially hired on as a writer, Chase soon began appearing in front of the camera as the anchor of the popular Weekend Update segment of the ensemble variety show. With the catchphrase opening "Good evening, I'm Chevy Chase and you're not," and aided by his bumbling impersonation of President Gerald Ford, the actor quickly assumed breakout status, earning Emmys for both his writing and acting. He left after a single season to pursue film opportunities, but did not really strike gold until Caddyshack (1980), in which he played a rich golf pro who oozed confidence and a dry sarcastic wit three steps ahead of anyone else. These would become Chase's trademarks.
During the filming of his next project, Modern Problems (1981), Chase was nearly electrocuted when a gag involving landing lights attached to his body short-circuited. The experience sunk him into a deep depression. But he recovered his stride in 1983 with the release of National Lampoon's Vacation, the first of four in an eventual series of epic misadventures of the Griswold family (European Vacation [1985], Christmas Vacation [1989], Vegas Vacation [1997]). As daffy father Clark, Chase turned the film into a huge hit, harnessing a likable befuddlement that kept the series going even as the sequels were increasingly less well received and tiresomely slapstick.
Chase's other big hit came in 1985, when he starred as the title character in Fletch, the film widely considered the actor's best and most complimentary of his sharp talent for wordplay. As an undercover newspaper reporter with a quick answer -- not to mention a goofy disguise -- for every situation, Chase created a classic comic hero with a genius for confusing his adversaries. He reprised the role in the lesser sequel Fletch Lives (1989).
Chase achieved moderate success by pairing with other Saturday Night Live alums in the mixed-bag comedies Spies Like Us (1985) and Three Amigos! (1986); though these had dedicated fans, they didn't achieve the critical praise of Fletch or Vacation. Despite an all-star cast, Caddyshack II (1988) went nowhere, and by the beginning of the 1990s, Chase had slipped from his status as a reliable comedic performer. Such well-documented failures as Nothing But Trouble (1991) and Cops and Robbersons (1994) became his crosses to bear during a decade that also saw the colossal failure of his Fox comeback variety show, which was canceled two months after it premiered in 1993. Chase was also arrested for drunk driving in 1995, just one incident in a career sometimes checkered by drug and alcohol abuse.
In later years, Chase has preferred family oriented films, starring in such features as Man of the House (1995) (opposite Jonathan Taylor Thomas) and the kiddie-on-holiday flick Snow Day (2000). This stance prompted Chase to turn down the comeback-worthy role that won Kevin Spacey an Oscar in American Beauty (1999); had he accepted, it might have resulted in a very different film. As Chase's work has shifted more to the supporting role variety, including Dirty Work (1998) and Orange County (2002), he has seemed more comfortable. A series of appearances in such innocuous comedies as Bad Meat, Goose on the Loose, and Doogal found Chase continuing to plateau, and in 2006 the former SNL heavyweight would take to the lab to help save the world in the children's superhero adventure Zoom.
In 2009 Chase was cast as a casually racist and sexist member of the study group at the heart of NBC's sitcom Community, and that program gave him some of the best reviews he'd had in quite some time. He appeared in the 2010 comedy Hot Tub Time Machine, and in 2011's Stay Cool. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

A struggling Hollywood movie studio attempts to produce the ultimate spoof movie, only to find that inspiration is in short supply in this comedy starring Chevy Chase, Burt Reynolds, and Vinnie Jones. When Max Storm (Chase) learns that Sunshine Studios is about to go bankrupt, he realizes that a single hit might have the power to make them profitable again. Desperate, Max recruits his troublemaking brother Lester (Michael Madsen), an ex-con-turned-producer (Jones), a hack director (Reynolds) and a harebrained screenwriter (David Leo Shultz) to turn out the ultimate cash-generating spoof movie. But in order to shoot a movie you've got to have a screenplay, and unfortunately for Sunshine Studios their head writer can barely string a single sentence together. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Leslie Greif directs this adaptation of Ray Cooney's hit British play, a throwback farce about mistaken identity. Chevy Chase plays Henry Perkins, a listless late-middle-aged executive in a wax fruit company; his wife, Carol (Penelope Ann Miller), is similarly bored, a struggling sculptor and housewife in Hoboken, NJ. On his way home from work to a surprise birthday party Carol is throwing, he accidentally switches briefcases with a Russian mobster. He opens the suitcase at a local bar and discovers five million dollars inside. He rushes home and tries to arrange a flight to Barcelona for Carol and him so they can take the money and run. Detective Sergeant Genero (Armand Assante) shows up later; he saw Henry at the bar and is suspicious of his actions. The Perkins, along with their friends Vic and Gina Johnson (Christopher McDonald and Alex Meneses), concoct an elaborate plan to fool the detective, which is only complicated by Carol getting sloppy drunk, the arrival of a homicide detective (Kevin Sussman), a famous gallery owner (Rebecca Wisocky), Henry's boss (Robert Loggia), a frustrated standup comic cabbie (Guy Torry), two more identical briefcases, and the party guests. The comic action reaches a climax in a standoff with Mafia kingpin Mr. Big (Zoltan Butuc). ~ Michael Buening, Rovi

Naomi Watts produces and stars in Ellie Parker, a semi-autobiographical story of an Australian actress struggling to make it in Hollywood. Ellie is young enough to still schlep to auditions back and forth across L.A., changing wardrobes and slapping on makeup en route, but just old enough that the future feels "more like a threat than a promise." She lives with her vacant musician boyfriend (Mark Pellegrino), who leaves her just about as dissatisfied as any other part of her life, and has a loose definition of the word "fidelity." Helping make sense of their surreal and humiliating Hollywood existence is her best friend Sam (Rebecca Rigg), another out-of-work actress trying her hand at design, who attends acting classes with Ellie to stay sharp. When Ellie gets into a fender bender with a guy who claims he's a cinematographer (Scott Coffey), her perspective on her work and the dating world starts to change. Chevy Chase also makes an appearance in this series of Hollywood vignettes, playing Ellie's agent. Watts, Coffey, and Pellegrino all worked together on David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, where Watts had her breakout performance, and Ellie Parker grew out of the friendship forged between Watts and director/screenwriter Coffey. It was shot on digital video over the course of five years, having begun its life as a series of shorts featuring Watts' character. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

A plucky little girl and her dog join their magical pals to save the world in the computer-animated comedy-adventure for the whole family. The Enchanted Village is a happy place ruled by the good-natured wizard Zebedee where young Florence and her dog, Doogal, come to play with their friends, including opera-singing cow Ermintrude, beatnik rabbit Dylan, and Brian the Snail, a sloppy sort who has a crush on Ermintrude. However, life in the Enchanted Village takes a turn for the worse when Zebedee's evil brother, Zeebad, arrives, freezing the town under a layer of ice and bringing the magic merry-go-round to a halt. Zeebad is searching for three magical jewels that will give him the power to freeze the whole world and rule the Earth, but Zebedee is able to thaw out himself, Florence, and her friends, and they join forces aboard the Magic Train in a bid to stop the villain before it's too late. Doogal is based on The Magic Roundabout, a children's television series from the 1960s in which a handful of wooden stop-motion figures enjoyed whimsical adventures; produced in France, the program enjoyed massive popularity in Great Britain, where actor Eric Thompson provided narration, voiced all the characters, and invented new stories to fit the action. (The film was also called The Magic Roundabout for its U.K. release.) In the film's British release, Kylie Minogue provided the voice of Florence, Ian McKellen voiced Zebedee, Robbie Williams spoke for Doogal, Joanna Lumley read Ermintrude, Bill Nighy voiced Dylan, and Jim Broadbent contributed the voice of Brian. Several characters were given new voices for the film's American release, with Whoopi Goldberg taking over as Ermintrude, William H. Macy as Brian, Jimmy Fallon as Dylan, and Jon Stewart as Zeebad. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Bitter Jester
On the cusp of stardom, standup comic Maija DiGiorgio suffered an emotional breakdown while performing before a room packed with a number of the comedy industry's head honchos -- whom were on the receiving end of DiGiorgio's obscenity-laced outburst -- at the Aspen Comedy Festival. Subsequently faced with a nearly industry-wide blacklisting as a result, the comic (and film school graduate) came upon the idea of creating a film journal to document her struggles within the industry, as well as within her own psyche. The result is Bitter Jester, DiGiorgio's 2003 film that started as a document of self-examination and evolved into an examination of success and achievement within the standup circuit. Greatly assisted by the contacts and prestige of executive producer Richard Belzer -- a friend and former employer of DiGiorgio's boyfriend and co-conspirator Kenny Simmons -- DiGiorgio proceeds to gain access to a surprising berth of comedy legends, including Chevy Chase, Richard Pryor, Phyllis Diller, Whoopi Goldberg, and George Carlin, all of whom dispense insightful and sometimes surprising opinions about their individual achievements. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

Fighting for Freedom: Revolution & Civil War
Filmmakers Phillip B. Kunhardt III, Nancy Steiner, and Peter W. Kunhardt explore the eternal struggle for liberty in America while simultaneously illuminating the hypocritical underlying factors that undermined the colonist's bold "experiment in freedom," in a revealing documentary featuring the voices of Brad Pitt, Martin Sheen, Michael Caine, Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins , Meryl Streep, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Robert Redford and many more. As the newly arrived British subjects staged the revolution that would cut loose their ties to Great Britain and give birth to a new era of freedom, a new hope for liberty emerged - but how then does one justify the presence of slavery in a society founded on the claim of all men being "created equal?" A blight on the quest for liberty and freedom that literally divided a struggling young nation right down the middle, slavery would be the last true obstacle in ensuring that the land of the free would truly live up to the ideals set forth by the founding fathers. As the north and the south set the stage for a bloody four-year war that would go down in history as one of the most brutal internal struggles ever waged, the resulting Civil War showed the willingness of Americans to actually stand up and fight to protect the rights of others as stated in the Constitution. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some cast and crew from NBC's highly acclaimed, little-seen series Freaks and Geeks reunite for this teen comedy that also marks the first starring role for Tom Hanks' son, Colin. The younger Hanks plays Shaun Brumder, a high schooler eager to propel himself out of the land of surf bums and ranch homes to which the film's title refers. He's had his sights set on Stanford ever since he read the works of professor Marcus Skinner (Kevin Kline), and his transcript is stellar enough to gain him admission. Shaun is understandably furious, then, when he receives a rejection letter in the mail; after some detective work on his part, he realizes that his flaky counselor (Lily Tomlin) mistakenly sent the university the wrong papers. It's up to him to get to Stanford within 24 hours to set the record straight -- literally -- and he enlists the help of his slacker brother Lance (Jack Black) to do so. Orange County co-stars Catharine O'Hara and John Lithgow as Shaun and Lance's slightly unhinged parents; the film was directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Mike White, both of whom contributed to several episodes of Freaks and Geeks. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

It's the day children dream of and parents dread: a sudden snowstorm causes the cancellation of school, giving kids a day off and their folks one more thing to worry about. Snow Day traces what happens in an upstate New York town when a thick layer of white stuff forces local schools to take a day off. Fifteen-year-old Hal Brandston (Mark Webber) is crazy about Claire Bonner (Emmanuelle Chriqui), the prettiest girl in his tenth-grade class, who already has a boyfriend -- the class jock and BMOC. Will the magical powers of Snow Day give Hal a chance to win her away? Meanwhile, Hal's ten-year-old sister, Natalie (Zena Grey), is having so much fun with Snow Day that she doesn't want it to end, so she makes sure the Snow Plow Man (Chris Elliott) can't get the roads cleared before morning. Four-year-old Randy Brandston (Connor Matheus) is all cranked up and ready to enjoy life on a day with no day care -- bad news for his mom, Laura (Jean Smart), a businesswoman who has to close an important deal. And weather is a sore spot with father Tom Brandston (Chevy Chase); as the meteorologist at the lowest-rated TV station in town, he is trying in vain to get folks to pay attention to what he has to say about snow, rain, and the elements. Snow Day was produced by Nickelodeon Movies, the feature-film branch of the children's television network, and its eclectic cast also includes Pam Grier, John Schneider, and Iggy Pop. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Very Busy Week!!!
Well anglers this past week was busy for us at the Silver Side Lodges and Bayou Charters.
Even with the up and down winds, high and low tides the fishing has been great. Now is getting to the time when the trout are hitting the bottom and the reds are getting so shallow that their backs are out of the water.
Capt's Shane, Joe, Harvey and I have been catching trout in the areas of Point Finenne and Bay Jack. The trout are on the bottom but sometimes they will come to the top chasing the few shrimp left near the surface. The hot bait right now is the Saltwater Assassin Glo Curltails and the Blurp Electric Chicken. All are presented on 3/8oz jigheads.
For the redfish, they are on Fire!!! Yesterday we had the crew in from Castrol Oil -- Cleveland, OH. My guys wanted HUGE REDFISH. We ran out to Drum Bay and hit them good. We fished with gold spoons but they would just follow them, unlike the day before when they were chasing them down. I noticed this so we switched to live shrimp under a cork and we started pulling them in to the Triton. Our first fish was just under 42lbs!!!!! We caught and released another nine that were between 22.5lbs to 31 lbs. All of these fish were caught on 8lb power pro and live shrimp. Fishing this way with light tackle is not only a challenge but a thrill to see these big fish moving over less than a foot of water with their backs out!!
After we finished catching these monsters we moved to the ponds. The tide was very low so we had to troll in very quitely to the honey hole. We pulled up and it was ON!!!
We caught and released 44 more reds on spoons and live shrimp. We finished the day with 54 reds!!
Capt. Shane and Capt Joe had Gayle Bailey and his crew for their last
day of fishing and sleeping at the Silver Side Lodge. They had their limits of Reds by 8:00am and caught and released twenty or more before heading to another spot to catch a few trout for the box. Gayle and his crew left catching over 60 redfish.
Capt. George Ricks helped me out with the Castrol guys yesterday catching 75 trout on Exude glo curltails under a cork. These guys were shipping all of the fish they caught back to Ohio for a company fish fry next week!!!
We have cancelled our trips for the next two days due to weather but will be back at it next week.
We offer all inclusive fishing trips. We have 5 star lodging, all new 24ft Triton Bay Boats, and a facility that is second to NONE!!
Come see why companies like Castrol Oil, Bayer Crop Science, Baker Huges, Future Brands, Hunt Forest Products, Weyerhaeuser and the list goes on, fishes with us here at Bayou Charters!!!
We cater to you and your customers and offer what other guide services cannot!

Your catching 42lb Red Drum on 8lb line?
Hey Capt. Rick, yes we are using 8lb power pro with 20#leaders. The area that I am fishing right now is an open lake with no structure at all. This area was built by the oil companies laying pipelines in the area. These big fish don't fight like they do during the summer but it took Tom about 35-40min to get this one in. You know how it is when a fish that size gets worn out in shallow water they almost just pull slowly so you are just trying not to break the line when pulling them in. But yes we sometimes use the smaller stuff when fishing in the ponds for distance when our customers are not avid anglers.
Charlie,,,dont take this the wrong way,,,but when you fight a fish that size, for that long on ultra light tackle, Thats a dead one when he is released.......even if he does swim off. 30-40 min is WAY to long. Come on man.
Dont you think you should use heavier tackle for that.
It looks good on a fishing report,,,,,,but not good for the fish.
Hey Rick, none taken. That fish did live but it did take along time with me on the side of the boat allowing it to get back up to steam. I know that you won't believe me but our fish are somewhat different then any redfish in other areas. Why I have no idea, but I have fished up the East Coast, all of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas and our fish are some studs when it comes to fight and release. I know that that big fish lived because I went back into that lake the next day and there were no dead fish. But I hear ya on the mortality, I didn't think we were going to have that big of fish in there yet but they were there??
I understand and just wish that all of my customers would understand that you don't have to kill everything you catch!!!
Good Luck!!

That's the prank here, with a guy that sounds like one of the voices you hear on the previews, following random people around in L.A., making comments about what they're doing, wearing, etc. in THAT voice. Some of their reactions are priceless.

According to Hexus, it turns out to be a mere 10% or so. Therefore, just get a cheap GTX 460 & overclock it to get similar performance. The GTX 560 is really nothing more than a fully enabled chip at faster clocks, so it should therefore drop significantly in price in the not too distant future.
sure its just the same gts250 vs 8800gt both used g92 but one with 128 shadders the other with 96 and 734vs 600core which =30-35%faster
What do you mean? It is what it is, most people who have looked at reviews/specifications can gather what it is. Meran kind of summed it up.
Dont forget you can overclock that 560 as well... Like fractions, do to one side what you do to the other. I know what your point is (and the thread title), but you have to play fair. Its not like the 560 cant be overclocked either.
Oh, ya know what I mean, people start blabbing about it in the thread and one gets to see all the different viewpoints. I have to admit that I'd wondered just how much difference there was between them really and this article explained it very nicely. I reckon the 460 will go EOL soon and the 560 will take its place at this price point, or a little higher. Now, that will be a compelling buy. I've already got my eye on a reference one because of the super quiet cooler. EDIT: Saw this when I posted. I like it.
Thanks for the link qubit, we are all interested in the apples-to-apples on this one. But I didnt like the review one bit. I guess I've got used to the quality, thoroughness and depth of TPU reviews. I would have liked to see the direct comparison of the 460 vs. a 560 downclocked to 460 speeds and, very importantly, the power draw differences. And then the 460 vs 560 with the 460 OC to 560 speeds, and the power draw differences. While 10% performance gain is coming (sometimes) from the additional shaders and z-optimisations, I really dont believe all this hocus-pocus about the 560 being much more power efficient/optimised. I bet it isnt. The spin needs to be proven or disproven.
You're welcome CB. You make some very good points, especially this bit: If W1zzard would like to make such a review, I for one would be very interested...
Performance I would imagine to have the same difference (10%) but the power would be an interesting side to see. I bet the differences are not much though. I would say no more than 10-15W. But thats just a guess of course. I wonder what the GPU VID is on the cards as that would make a difference too...
My m8 has two GTX460's GS GLH and they have given him nothing but issues, and run realy hot (94c+) I told him to sell them and get two GTX560 Ti's as they are all round better in everything, heat, power, price, performance.
Sounds like your friend was unfortunate enough to have bad ones. Some things come to mind: Does the case have good ventilation? What brand are they? Do they have stock or custom coolers?
It's not like the 560 doesn't overclock too, further than the 460 from what I've seen. That kind of comparison is just silly. How bout this. 460 < 470. 470 < 560.
http://www.gainward.com/main/vgapro.php?id=395 Thats the ones he got^ They still have stock everything. His case does have good airflow, its a monster of a case. Its a thermaltake ummm something, like the armour model.
I care (and its pretty much what I assumed), but if I still had my 8800 GTX in my rig and were buying a new card today I'd go with the GTX 560.
see if this was another 9800GTX vs 9800GTX+ i would believe this thread was worthwhile. however like was said before this is a 8800GT vs 8800GTS same chip one has more shaders. yes stock 560 vs overclocked 460 you may win some battles however the overclocked 560 will win in the end.
Indeed the 560 will win - it doesn't have a cluster disabled (ignoring the gain in power efficiency and other little refinements). I think this thread is worthwhile, or I wouldn't have posted it.
buy the cheaper 460 thats your thing i will buy the higher performing 560 Ti this is just like comparing a 460 and a 470 in fact your graph shows exactly what i posted before an overclocked 460 beats a 470 however overclocking the 470 it will beat the 460. here w1z overclocked his a good little bit and it beats the 480 now how close do you think the 460 can get to a 580? overall the card is 22% slower overclocking will open widen that gap
No, I'd buy the 560 too. It's a refined product one way or the other over the 460... and that stock cooler is sooo quiet. Thanks for those benchies. It's interesting to see how close the overclocked 560 comes to a stock 580. It makes the 480 pretty irrelevant, too (so much heat and noise for less performance than the oc 560 and barely more than a stock one). I'd love to see some enthusiast stick it on water, oc it sky high and blow away the 580! EDIT: Ok, I posted while you made your edit, lol. However, your extra benchie only reinforces my wish to get the 560 over the 460.
well by the same effect as the original idea of this thread the 580 could do exactly the same thing and beat the 560 probably on air vs the 560 on water here is the 560Ti review BTW http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_560_Ti/
Oh yeah, of course. I'd just love the perversity of the 560 blowing away the 580. If I had lots of money and no sense, I'd be the one doing it! Thanks for the review link.
+1, the powr draw would be worthwhile in both cases, and I'm interested to see how adding another cluster affects performance, it seems Nvidia cards gain well from even a slight increase in SP's like 480 to 512 in GF110. I know for sure Cypress chips didnt carry the gains of more shaders so terribly, id pit a 5850 and 5870 at equal clocks to be within 2-3% of eachother tops, rather than ~10% between a 480 -> 580 or 460 -> 560.
Unfortunately not, but thanks. It actually has about the same performance as my GTX 285, plus DX11 of course Overclockers are selling new ones for about this price. Doesn't depreciation on computer components suck? My top end, uber GTX 285 is now less than a cheap as chips lower midrange card. How ironic is that? Look, my friend gave me for free and without me having asked, a 1 gig USB drive. I had a Misco catalogue from 2002 that sold these for, wait for it... Wait for it... A grand. Seriously, I'm not kidding you. A whole grand. Can you imagine how you'd feel if you were still paying off the loan on that?
not all of them were more ram i have a GTS250 with 512mb of ram. i also know they had 8800GTS 1gb cards. there were a couple of differences between the 8800 and GTS, 8800 was SLI 2 cards, no hybrid sli etc. GTS was tri sli had a longer pcb with the hybrid SLI pwm stuff on it.

French look awful, awful team. Completely gone here. Love it when yer Gauls live down to my long-cherished prejudices.
Considering the players they have (and those Domenech hasn't picked) it's a disgrace, tbh.

Fancy South Africa might be shot after yesterday but would be amusing if France failed to score a goal.
The results are not dissimilar to their performances in 2002 really, both now and then saw them pick up 1 point from their first two games, in both this tournament and that they drew 0-0 with Uruguay. Now we just need South Africa to play the role of Senegal and finish the job.
At least this result will make people understand that france in this WC not comparable to 06.. Everyone refering to their slow start to previous WC, forgetting the fact that they used to have makelele, viera, zidane in the team. This team has half the class of the previous one, besides no experience of winning majors together. If anything, their performances more or less mirroring their euro 08 debacle.
This is why I hate Diaby. One great game and a completely liability for the next few. Bye bye and good riddance Domenech.
Oh the delicious irony of the French being virtually eliminated by a team in green
Nothing but joy watching that game eh? Well deserved by Mexico, and now France should be out.

Expect to have to book if you want to experience fine dining locally at Zanzibar in Merimbula.
They may be one of the new kids on the block but that hasn't stopped them from winning a coveted chef's hat at this week's Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide awards – less than a year after it launched under new ownership.
Zanzibar owners Huw Jones, 29, and Renée Loftus, 32, were in Sydney for the glamorous presentation ceremony – with Renée declaring she was so stunned as hope became reality with the announcement, she wanted to cry!
"We're really overwhelmed but so excited. I'm so thrilled for my hometown, because this is really special. It's so wonderful to receive something like this at any time, but extra special in such a short time.
"We remember when Joanna Savill [chief judge] came to Zanzibar earlier this year, and we were very nervous, but she was really lovely to deal with and very complimentary about what we are doing.
"Then when we received the invitation to the awards presentation, we certainly had our fingers crossed that we would get something, but you don't really know – do you – until they actually make the announcement.
"When you see the calibre of the restaurants that make this list, you can't quite believe that you're in the same company – but we are now, officially, and that makes all the hard work worthwhile.
"We want to thank our family and friends for supporting us in making our dream with this restaurant come true, and our loyal customers for having faith in us. We hope they'll all come in to celebrate with us."
"We also made the editors' favourites list in the Good Living mag and we're pretty stoked about that!" Renee said.
Huw did his initial training at Brookvale TAFE on Sydney's northern beaches, and spent 18 months working at the famous and highly awarded Tetsuya's [two hats] as well as several other leading Sydney restaurants.
Renée grew up in Merimbula and has a long background in hospitality, gaining a deep knowledge of silver service and the wine industry along the way. The pair met when they were both working in the Margaret River wine region of WA.
They took over Zanzibar Café in November last year with the goal of offering fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere, and showcasing local produce from the Bega Valley and the waters of the Sapphire Coast.

Absntm1nd, thanks for the response. I looked at cagw.org, but unfortunately they cherry pick issues without offering a total potential savings summary, or at least one I could find. Each item of 'pork' they listed has legitimate defenders. It's surprising how one man's pork can be another man's bacon. I see that every day among the fiscally conservative NASA workers in Houston. They sure don't want NASA's budget cut. Even a recent delay in authorizing a federal milk producers' subsidy resulted in public hysteria about potential $8/gallon milk that would destroy peoples' lives. I personally favor cutting everything, substantially. Constant dollar per capita federal spending (2012 basis) under Eisenhower was about $4 thousand per person. When Clinton left office it was about $8 thousand per person. By the way, he is the only modern president who decreased per capita federal spending. Today the federal government spends about $12 thousand per person. Most of that increase came during GW Bush's eight years. So a 33% reduction in spending would just get us back to the Clinton era spending rate. To do that, we will have to means test SS and Medicare and cap increases, push education and social programs back to the states, eliminate federal disaster and mortgage insurance (each state will be on its own), drastically cut the military, including closing a lot of bases, continue to let highways and infrastructure decay, almost eliminate public unemployment insurance and greatly reduce subsidies of all types. I'm willing to make these cuts if raising taxes is not an option, but I doubt the vast majority of Americans are.

Elm Hollow, Estate of the Day
Filed under: Estates
Today's Mediterranean style home in Dallas is notable for its exquisite interior design. Designer Deborah Owens has enhanced the design by architect Robbie Fusch to create an elegant and refine home. The home was the 2008 LUXE Showhome. One thing that really impresses me about the six-bedroom home is the use of the color blue, from cobalt blue and turquoise accents to sky blue walls, the use of blue ties the rooms together and creates a nice counterpoint to the mostly beige decor.
The home is built around a sunken central courtyard which is set 11 feet below ground level to keep the outdoor area 15 degrees cooler than outside areas above ground, a nice feature for Texas summers. The courtyard has a double-sided fireplace. The home includes a theater and game room with a kitchenette, a spa and exercise area with a steam room, and a wine cellar with dining area and an eight-car garage. The ground floor includes the dining room, great room, two-story library and the master suite and two kitchens. The home also includes a mother-in-law suite, elevator and a smart home system that will send you a message when anything is wrong with the house no matter where you are. It is listed at $11.5 million.

Help make 'Toys for Tots' a success
As people are shopping for deals over the holidays, Les Luder hopes they'll keep the children in mind.By: Superior Telegram, Superior Telegram
As people are shopping for deals over the holidays, Les Luder hopes they'll keep the children in mind.
Luder, a Superior firefighter, coordinates the Toys for Tots program, which provides toys to about 1,200 children in need each year.
This year, the program has received a boost from local tattoo artists, day care families and motorcycle riders. But more toys are needed. Currently, there are only four drop-off sites for donations — all three fire stations in Superior and Thatcher's Auto Center, 5810 Tower Ave.
More drop off sites, in particular sites in the rural areas, would help, Luder said.
Volunteers are also needed to help with toy distribution. If any business, organization or individual wants to set up a drop-off site or volunteer, they can call the Superior Fire Department at 715-394-0227 and ask for Les.
As of Wednesday morning, approximately 300 families had signed up for help over the holidays, which includes Toys for Tots, Christmas food baskets, the Adopt a Family program and the Teen Shop.
Douglas County residents can still sign up for the programs through Nov. 30 at the Salvation Army, 916 Hughitt Ave. Sign up hours will be 10 a.m. to noon and 1-3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.
In order to apply for the programs, people must present a photo ID, proof of address, such as a utility bill or other piece of mail, and social security cards for all members of the family.
