Did Zapruder Kill JFK?John Atkins for Salem-News.com
President Kennedy and his brother, U.S. Attorney Robert Kennedy, were set on eradicating organized crime from the United States.
It has been fifty years since U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Since that time, many theories have abounded that seek to resolve the issue of whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or if at least one more gunman participated in the November 22, 1963 murder.

07-25-06 - Anyone who's ever tried to give a baby a bath knows you have your hands full. Often, anything that might make things easier seems like a good idea.
Be aware: doctors warn that some products could actually put your baby in danger. Bath rings and seats seem practical, because they hold the baby upright leaving your hands free.
However, a study by the Consumer Product Safety Commission found at least 45 children have drowned in the past 20 years, while using those seats. In some cases, the suction cups can lose their grip letting the baby go into the water, face first.
Parents may get a false sense of security and leave an infant alone briefly in the water, or even use more water in the tub than necessary. However, the most important thing in keeping your baby safe, is to provide the proper parental supervision.

Barça fight back from a three-goal deficit to secure a valuable point against Reus in the OK Liga
Goals from Ordeig, Marín -own goal- and Torra in the second half allowed the Blaugrana to draw level
Cairo wasn't able to call on Pablo Álvarez, who is injured. The player will be out of action for 15 days
Reus Deportiu, 3
FC Barcelona, 3
Reus Deportiu (2+1): Trabal, Casanovas (2), Molet, Salvat i Adroher -starting five- Marín (1), Rubio.
FC Barcelona (0+3): Egurrola, Ordeig, Gual, Torra (1) i Panadero -starting five- Reinaldo, Miras, Julià.

Referees: Josep Ribó and Josep Gómez
Barça's roller hockey team managed to fight back from a three-goal deficit to secure a valuable point against Reus Deportiu. Cairo's Barça, who were without Pablo Álvarez due to injury, remain in the second spot of the OK Liga table, three points behind the leaders, Coinasa Liceo, who won this Tuesday evening away to Moritz Vendrell (4-5). The point won this evening could very well prove to be worth its weight in gold at the end of the season.

Is the 100-Foot Parking Law Real?
Dear Parking Guru,
I just received a ticket for a street-sweeping sign that was way up the street from where I parked. I went to the library that day and found your book. In it, you say that, "The 100 foot law states that...each restrictive parking sign's enforcement zone extends for 100 feet in each direction, or up to the nearest cross-street, whichever is less. The only reasonable argument I can see for having a parking ticket dismissed would be that there is no sign posted anywhere in the City that warns us of this." Where is this law 100-foot law written?
On-Street Car Sharing, Coming Soon to SF
As early as January 2014, San Francisco will undergo a wonderful two-year experiment that I think is going to be a major success in what I like to call the sustainable urban mobility movement.
Woman Receives Parking Ticket for Attempted Violation of the Law of Inertia
Dear Parking Guru,
I often feel lucky to find parking at all in SF. Last week I did, but then it was all ruined because when I returned to my car I found a ticket on my windshield. I am a victim for an issued citation for "parking on grades."
What Would Life Be Without BART?
With this week's BART strike, everything involving cars and car-related revenue has increased: Casual and formal carpool usage has increased; bridge toll revenue has increased; rental car revenue has increased; parking garage revenue has increased; parking meter revenue has increased; and with more drivers, (many unfamiliar with the ins and outs of City parking) and fewer spots available, parking ticket revenue and towed car revenue have increased.

While doing my morning number crunching and parking efficiency algorithmic warm-up exercises, I came upon a staggering statistic about parking.
Playing Dice with the Parking Gods
Dear Parking Guru,
I just know you have a solution for me. I am new to SF and live in the Haight and feel so happy to be here. I have a problem though, and in googling for a solution, you kept popping up. I live in a place with a driveway and I found out that I am allowed to block my own driveway when parking parallel on the street. The problem is that on both sides of it are those on-street spots where the curb isn't long enough for a regular car to park. The driveway is narrow, so when I park in my driveway part of my car sticks into one or both of these "half" spots.
Parking and Traffic Number Crunching: Part 2
A couple of weeks ago I posted the some of the highlights of the most recent San Francisco transportation numbers.
I've received more than a few requests for more numbers, so here is SFMTA Greatest Hits, the B-Sides:
Changing Global Warming, One Parking Spot at a Time
There are currently 1.2 billion cows on the planet. Naturally, I wondered how much environmental impact they are having. A Japanese study showed that producing a kilogram of beef leads to the emission of greenhouse gases with a global warming potential equivalent to 36.4 kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO2). I then wondered how this compared to parking.
Parking Karma, App(titude), or Luck?
Earlier this week I found myself once again driving to a tech meeting, cutting the time way too close. So little time, so much to be done, and each day, it seems, the show must go on and somehow I get everything done. But, I digress.

A Must Read - Share
AFTER a lull of five years during which it seemed that Iraq might emerge from its civil war, the country has been drawn back into a nightmare of spiralling attacks on a widening range of targets. The past four months have been among the bloodiest since 2008; nearly 3,000 people have been killed and over 7,000 injured. The Islamic State of Iraq, the latest incarnation of al-Qaeda, appears to have broadened its scope from attacks on security forces and Shia mosques and markets to suicide-bombings of cafés and funeral gatherings. More such attacks are likely following the freeing of hundreds of

India's fastest runner, the legendary Milkha Singh, is running very fast again, this time at the box office. The bio-pic on his life "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" has created a global stir and the sprinter is bowled over by Farhan Akhtar's depiction of him in the movie.
The simple-hearted legendary athlete cannot hide his glee at the turn of events.
Milkha Singh said: "My phone has not stopped ringing ever since the film released. I am getting hundreds of calls from all over the world. I am on the phone all day receiving congratulatory calls. 'Badhaai pe badhaai aaye jaa rahi hai'."
The most surprising call that Milkha Singh got was from former American sprinter Carl Lewis. "Yes, Carl Lewis called me. He saw my film and was very moved. He couldn't follow the Hindi dialogues, but he saw it with an Indian friend who explained the dialogues to him. He is a world-acknowledged runner and has won gold medals in the Olympics. He is one of the greatest sprinters in the world. He wants to send me a gift of appreciation. I told him there was no need for that. I am just too overwhelmed. There are long queues at cinema halls to see my film. "
The jubilant runner said: "The entire credit for the film's success must go to director Rakeysh Mehra, writer Prasoon Joshi, editor P.S. Bharathi and to Farhan Akhtar for portraying me with such conviction, and to Divya Dutta for bringing my sister's role alive. And to Viacom 18 for co-producing the film with Rakeysh. If it wasn't for the entire team and their belief in the project, my story would not have been told so persuasively. So many athletes have come and gone unsung. I think I am very fortunate."
The fact that "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" is serving an inspirational purpose among the youth is what is most heartening to Milkha Singh. "The message that if you try you, can be another Milkha is very strongly put across in the film. I wanted youngsters to be so moved by my story of struggle that they are inspired into doing something worthwhile. And that's exactly what's happening. All those who have seen the film have come out weeping. It's not just sportsmen who are connecting with my story, even businessmen and professionals are… they are getting the message that the only route to success is hard work and willpower. When I saw the film for the first time, I couldn't believe they had done such a fine job of putting my life into a three-hour film."
Milkha Singh is bowled over by Farhan Akhtar's performance. "He is exactly how I wanted to see myself on screen. Full credit to Rakeysh Mehra for seeing me in Farhan. Many actors, including Akshay Kumar, wanted to play Milkha Singh. But the boy (Farhan) has done 'kamaal'. He has replicated me on screen. He even resembles me. The body language and the discipline Farhan adopted to play me… yeh koi maamooli baat nahin hai (it was not easy)."
He admits that the entire story of his life is not represented in "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag". "If they had taken all the incidents from my life the film would have been at least 10 hours long," he said.
He credits his son ace-golfer Jeev Singh for encouraging the project. "I have no idea about movies and the film industry. I haven't seen any film since 1960. My son, who watches a film every day, was impressed by Rakeysh Mehra's 'Rang De Basanti'. Jeev told me if I have to let my story go on film it must be done by Rakeysh Mehra. Before Rakeysh, three to four directors had approached me. They even offered me substantial amounts of money. But I opted to let Rakeysh Mehra tell my story."
Milkha Singh took just a token fee of Re.1 for "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag". However, it was decided that if the film makes profits, some of it would go into the Milkha Singh Charity Trust.
"We distribute medicines to the poor, encourage promising athletes and help retired sportsmen. In our country, sportspersons are given no financial succour. I have seen so much poverty and hardship. Believe me, the film shows only 20 percent of my suffering. They couldn't show all my pain. Prasoon Joshi has suggested another film. I've told him to wait and see how far 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' goes."
Milkha Singh now has one unfulfilled wish. "The gold medal that slipped out of my hand in the Rome Olympics must come to us. Before I leave this world I want one Indian youngster to go get that medal for our country. That's the my last wish." – IANS

Historic Sites
Chapel of San Miguel
The Chapel of San Miguel is the oldest church in Santa Fe. At Old Santa Fe Trail and De Vargas streets, about two blocks from the state capitol, San Miguel was originally built in 1626, although nothing of that building remains. The Pueblo Revolt began, it is said, with the burning of San Miguel. The chapel's sculpture of San Miguel, the church's patron, was carved in Mexico in 1709. In 1710, the chapel was completely rebuilt. Later, in 1859, Archbishop Lamy and the Christian Brothers of Santa Fe bought the chapel, and it became a part of Saint Michael's College.
Barrio de Analco
The Barrio, or district, of Analco is the oldest European settlement in Santa Fe other than the Plaza and the Palace. It is on the south side of the Rio de Santa Fe and is the area now occupied by the state capitol, Pink Adobe restaurant and San Miguel Chapel. Analco is a Mexican Indian Word meaning "other side of the water." The Barrio was first settled by Mexican Indian mercenaries and Spanish colonists in the early 1600's.
Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Located on Agua Fria Street, the Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe is thought to be the oldest shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe in the United States. It was built in 1795. When the railroad arrived in 1880, Archbishop Lamy dedicated the chapel to non-Spanish speaking Catholics.
Sena Plaza
Just north of the Santa Fe Plaza, Sena Plaza on East Palace Avenue is one of the most beautiful and secluded historic sites in Santa Fe. Once the central court of a large hacienda of 33 rooms, the plaza area has been transformed into an intimate and contemplative garden. Sena Plaza, as it exists today, was probably first built in the 1860's. The land has been owned by the Sena family since the conquest. When the territorial capitol burned in 1892, the ballroom in the Sena Hacienda housed the legislative assembly. In 1927, Santa Fe artist William Penhallow Henderson added a second story to the hacienda. This remodeling is often cited as a classic example of how a historic building can be adapted for modern use.
Saint Francis Cathedral
The crowning achievement of Archbishop Lamy's church construction in New Mexico, Saint Francis Cathedral, is just north of La Fonda Hotel. Built in 1869 and designed in the French Romanesque style, the building is alien to the Spanish heritage of Santa Fe but is still one of its greatest landmarks. Constructed on the site of a church that was destroyed in the Pueblo Revolt and replacing a later adobe church called La Parroquia, Saint Francis Cathedral was built of stone from local quarries and from the La Bajada Mesa, west of the city. Portions of La Parroquia remain in the form of the Chapel of Our lady of the Rosary, which houses a wooden statue of the Virgin known as Our Lady of Peace. The statue was first brought to Santa Fe in 1625 and was returned to the city by the armies of Don Diego de Vargas during the re-conquest of 1692.

I was looking around on the internet tonight for information on accomodations in Prudhoe Bay once I get there. I really want to camp and not have to spend a lot of money on a spendy hotel. A sence of nervousness came over me as I started reading about how desolate the area is and how many large animals there are. The last think I want to do is get chewed up by some hungry Griz before I even start the trip!
I called the Artic Carabou Inn and talked to Rick who was very helpful in providing info about Prudhoe Bay. He told me that Alaskan Airlines lets people camp out in their parking lot. That is great news for me. I'll be pitching a tent shortly after my super long day of flying, I'm sure. He also said the bears tend to stay clear of the airport parking lot as well. Also very good news!
I checked into their tour of the area, which was only 37 bucks (I expected it to be much more). After an informative video, they take you by the oil industry and then finally to the Arctic Ocean for a dip. I signed up for the following day. I figure I am beginning all the way up there, I might as well see the water, Right?! Maybe even go for a swim.
I also dug up some info on Prudhoe Bay if anyone is interested in reading about it. I think its pretty interesting and look forward to experiencing the LONG days when I get up above the Arctic Circle.
Copied from PrudhoeBay.com
Prudhoe Bay (Deadhorse) Alaska is home to the largest oil field in North America. It is located in Alaska between the coast of the Beaufort Sea and the North Slope of the Brooks Range Mountains. It is about 1200 mi. south of the North Pole and 250 mi. north of the Artic Circle. Artic drilling rigs differ from their southern counterparts in that they generally are more self contained. As is evident by the picture the rigs are enclosed to protect it and the workers from the Artic Winters. Many of the rigs can be transported from drill site to drill site without any disassembly. Many rigs have a camp house that moves with the rig to provide room and board for the workers. Other wildlife in the area: Artic Fox, Artic Ground Squirrels, Grizzly Bears, Polar Bears, Musk OX, Artic Hares, Caribou (Approximately 25,000)and over 200 different bird and waterfowl species including geese, swans, seagulls and eagles . During the winter months only the artic fox, ravens, and the occasional polar bear are to be seen. Ice roads are built during the winter months to reduce the damage to the environment for access to remote drill sites. conditions need to be twenty below zero or less for construction thus limiting exploration drilling to the Winter months in most cases.

So last night was pretty awesome. Of the five games on the schedule, all but one of them – a Wizards blowout win over the Magic – was exciting. We had the Chicago Bulls ultimately fall short in their three overtime battle with the New Orleans Pelicans. There was the Jazz holding off the Rockets in a duel between James Harden and Gordon Hayward. And then there was Tim Duncan's game winner to lift the San Antonio Spurs over the Atlanta Hawks. Furthermore, we saw a career-high 43 points from Paul George that wound up not being quite nearly enough, as the Portland Trail Blazers handed the Indiana Pacers their second loss of the season. There are eight games on the docket for tonight, and before you check them out, catch up on some reading with today's suggested basketball readings from across the web.
Dispatch from the Northeast I: Prelude to Knicks/Pelicans, Or, Searching For Love In A Big Apple: By Jordan White (@JordanSWhite)
If you're unfamiliar with Jordan White, he is a writer over at Hardwood Paroxysm, and you should definitely be reading his stuff, because it's really good. His most recent posts – about his trip to New York – are no different. His first one really isn't about basketball at all, but you should still read it, and then follow up with the subsequent dispatches – which are about basketball – from the Northeast.
Product of the Times: By Cole Patty (@ColePatty)
With the recent injury to Anthony Davis, Ryan Anderson is going to get a lot more playing time down in New Orleans. The sharp-shooting big man had been coming off the bench, but last night got his first start in the Pelicans' first game without Davis. Over at Hickory High, Cole Patty wrote about Anderson and how he carved out a role for himself in the league.

Late Monday the Caddo Parish District Attorney's office filed more than 2800 documents with the Caddo Parish clerk of Court from the extensive investigation of the New Years Day 1979 murder of Deanna Montgomery that led to the arrest of her husband, James Haywood Montgomery and habitual offender, Larry Thompson Sr.
Deanna Montgomery was fatally shot in the head while riding in the front seat of a vehicle driven by her husband, James Haywood Montgomery III, around 7 that evening as they were northbound on Line Avenue between Ockley and Dudley Streets in Shreveport.
Thompson and Montgomery – who were good friends - were suspects in Deanna Montgomery's murder from the beginning, but an extensive investigation by a number of Shreveport police investigators did not come up with anything definitive enough to make arrests in the case.
The two-year investigation led Caddo Parish investigators across the country to interview various witnesses and relatives of the victim and the suspect, as well as trips to Angola to interview Larry Thompson Sr. who is currently serving an 80 year sentence for burglary and attempted first degree murder for a 2003 ATM heist.
In the course of the investigation, detectives learned that not only was Thompson the hit man who shot Deanna Montgomery, but he was also responsible for at least four other deaths, including the highly publicized New Jersey murder of Maria Marshall.
Thompson was tried and acquitted of Marshall's homicide although her husband was found guilty and is still in prison in New Jersey. Thompson was acquitted because one of his sons testified that his father was in Shreveport and that he took him to the dentist that day.
That son now has recanted his testimony, but the statute of limitations has run out so he cannot be charged with perjury. Though Thompson has now confessed to the Marshall killing, he can't be retried because of double jeopardy laws. During the course of the investigation, Thompson was interviewed several times, and in addition to confessing to the New Jersey murder, as well as the murders of Chester Underwood of Harrison County, Texas, and Larry Lester of Desoto Parish.
Thompson agreed to confess and implicate Montgomery in Deanna's murder if he could assure he would not be prosecuted for the murder Lester and Underwood. Caddo Parish investigators were able to get those assurances in writing from district attorneys in DeSoto Parish and Harrison County, Texas.
The investigation into Deanna Montgomery was re-opened in May 2012, after a newspaper spoke to an investigator with the Caddo Parish district attorney's office. The DA's office spoke with the Shreveport Police Department and requested information on Deanna Montgomery's murder. It was difficult to find, however, as the case was 33 years old.
Eventually, enough information was pulled together to re-open the case, and then it was full-speed ahead. Law enforcement and district attorneys offices from Louisiana, Texas and New Jersey all worked together to solve Deanna Montgomery's murder, as well as others that had similar features.
Less than a year later, when Deanna Montgomery's mother died, Deanna's daughter came to Shreveport for her grandmother's funeral. At that time, she spoke with police about her mother's case, and also alleged that Montgomery sexually abused her from the time she was 9 years old until she was 12 and went to live with her father after her mother's death.
An investigation into those allegations was what prompted a Caddo grand jury to indict Montgomery on charges of aggravated rape on May 15, 2003. Montgomery was arrested at his Bossier townhouse by Bossier Police, and extradited to Caddo Parish.
Montgomery was held on a $500,000 bond until a 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled his bond was excessive and lowered it to $100,000. He was able to bond out, but his freedom was short-lived. Less than a week later, a Caddo grand jury indicted him on a 2nd degree murder charge, and he was re-arrested.
This time, Montgomery's bond is $1,250,000. He will be in Caddo District Court August 27th.

Rick Perry, at Memphis fundraiser, elaborates on immigration
In an interview with The Daily News after he introduced Texas Gov. and current GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry at a fundraiser in Memphis Wednesday, Tenn. Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey defended the recent controversial remarks and stance of Perry over immigration – specifically, over a Texas state law that makes possible a college tuition break to the children of illegal immigrants there.
Ramsey has been an early – and ardent – supporter of the Texas governor.
In one of the recent Republican presidential debates, Perry said opponents of that policy were "heartless". But Perry walked that back somewhat Wednesday, saying "heartless" probably represented a poor choice of words. Perry said pretty much that same thing to Newsmax, and it got wide play nationally on Wednesday as an apparent softening or position-shuffling by Perry.
At his fundraiser Wednesday at the Memphis Botanic Garden, though, Perry at least got to do what he hasn't always been able to in the rapid-fire setup of presidential debates, and that is to more fully explain himself on immigration.
"I want to share with you why we did what we did in Texas," said Perry, whose remarks were videoed by Shelby County Commissioner Chris Thomas and posted to Thomas' Facebook page.
Perry said Texas had a need to take some kind of action because of an inadequate response to the immigration issue by the federal government.
"Texas is a unique place, from the standpoint of a 1,200-mile border with a foreign country," Perry said. "For decades, we've had this open border that has allowed people to come into the state of Texas. The federal government is not going to round everybody up and send them back to the country of their origin. That's not going to happen.
"We made the decision we would rather those young people go to our institutions of higher learning and be educated. You either keep them uneducated and have them on the rolls of the government, or educate them and let them become part of the workforce in that state."
Ramsey said even if a state like Tennessee wouldn't have pursued the same policy choice, that doesn't mean Texas was wrong for doing so.
Ramsey said the states are "50 laboratories of democracy. And until the federal government does its job, the burden is on Texas, whether they like it or not."

Its alright and does the job
This review is from: BOSS AUDIO 2-Din DVD Receiver w/ 7" Touchscreen & Bluetooth
Pros: It has all the features I wanted at a good price and does everything it says it can do.
Cons: It sticks out of the face of my dash much farther than I would like but I'm not sure if all aftermarket double dins are like that or just this one. The phone on the bluetooth works but if your wanting to stream audio from your phone to the unit do not buy it. The bluetooth sound quality just is not there. Good enough for a phone but there is a slight static sound when playing music. It might not be noticed by everyone but it was enough to make me not use it.
Other Thoughts: If you want a cheap aftermarket player it works great as long as you don't stream music using the bluetooth. For the price and what I need to do with it I am satisfied though.

Okay Unit
This review is from: BOSS AUDIO 2-Din DVD Receiver w/ 7" Touchscreen & Bluetooth
Pros: Tons of features, good bluetooth playback
Cons: Very poor interface design, no firmware updates (at least that I found), poor radio
Other Thoughts: This unit has tons of features, most of which work acceptably. The radio periodically loses stations (almost as if the tuning changes but the frequency does not change) but switching to another preset and back makes it work again. The interface looks like it's a shell running on DOS and some of the controls are unintuitive (with the exception of the homescreen with is not too bad). I was disappointed to see no firmware updates on Boss' website. If Boss updated the firmware with an interface that's easier on the eyes along with potential bug fixes, it would easily be a 5 star unit.

EghamNearby are Staines, Sunningdale, Englefield Green and Virginia Water, Windsor Great Park, Old Windsor and Windsor itself. The area between Egham and Staines town centres is known as Egham Hythe.
M25 Runnymede BridgeThe bridge was built to complement an earlier bridge built by Sir Edwin Lutyens [2] a low wide arch bridge built of brick to carry the A30 Staines By-pass. It is an open spandrel arch of the same basic shape, but is made up of a series of parallel concrete frames. These allow light to penetrate underneath and transfer loads vertically to avoid disturbing the foundations of the earlier bridge. The motorway bridge was recently widened to six lanes each way. It is one of four bridges carrying motorway traffic across the Thames, the others being the QE2 Bridge, the M3 Chertsey Bridge and the M4 Thames Bridge, Maidenhead.
Royal Holloway, University of LondonThe Egham campus was founded in 1879 by the Victorian entrepreneur and philanthropist Thomas Holloway. Royal Holloway College was a women-only institution, and was officially opened in 1886 by Queen Victoria. Royal Holloway College became a member of the University of London in 1900. In 1945, the College began admitting male postgraduate students, and in 1965, male undergraduates.[2][3] In 1985, Royal Holloway College merged with Bedford College (another formerly all-women's college in London which was founded in 1849 and, like Royal Holloway College, joined the University of London in 1900 and became fully co-educational in 1965). The merged college was named Royal Holloway and Bedford New College (RHBNC), this remaining the official registered name of the College by Act of Parliament. The campus is dominated by the Founder's Building, a Grade I listed red-brick building which is modelled on the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley in France.
Datchet railway stationOn a more positive note the ticket office is now open Monday-Friday between 06:15 and 13:05 & Saturday from 07:55 to 14:45 whereas previously it was weekdays peak hours only. In recent years the platforms have been raised and more modern lighting erected. The most recent development has been the relaying of both down & up lines through the station replacing some very worn permanent way.
Stoke PogesStoke Poges is also mentioned in 20th century literature, in the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, where it is the location of a frequently-visited golf course. The golf course at Stoke Park Club (formerly Stoke Poges Golf Club) also appeared in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, during a crucial golf match played between the principal characters.[2] Stoke Park Club also featured in the films Layer Cake, Wimbledon, Bride and Prejudice, and Bridget Jones' Diary. The 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only filmed its opening sequence, when Bond visits his wife's grave, in the graveyard outside St Giles Church.[3] Part of the 2007 series Jekyll was also filmed on the boardwalk and surrounding area. In the 1963 film I Could Go On Singing, Judy Garland's character visits St. Giles' parish church with her son.

A fairly young, fairly attractive couple go to see a doctor and say they're having trouble making love. 'Could you watch us and correct any mistakes we might be making?' asks the guy. The doc thinks it a bit unusual but says 'OK' He watches for a while, offers a couple of suggestions and when they finish says 'well things look pretty good to me, you don't seem to have any problems'. To which the couple respond with 'things don't feel exactly right, do you mind if we come back next week for a little more guidance'. The doctor agrees and the couple return the following week. Once again they repeat the performance, get a tiny bit of help and leave quite satisfied. On the third visit the following week the doctor says 'look I really don't see any problem here, in fact I wish my love making was as good, why do you keep coming back?' The young man says 'well to tell you the truth, I'm a guitarist in a rock band, live in a smelly old squat and don't make much money. she's married to this other guy who works from home so we can't go there. I can't afford to take her to a motel. this place is warm and friendly, we get free coffee and magazines while we wait and I get all the costs back from Medicare.

old favorite of mine, I found a MUCH shorter version of it (i got a thing for long jokes, see earlier in this thread haha)
One day a woman, feeling particularly lonely that day, walked into a sex shop. The cashier asked if she needed help, to which she replied "yes, i would like the best dildo you have...the price is not an issue." The cashier asked her to wait a moment and disappeared into the back of the store. When he returned, he was holding a dusty and ancient looking box. When he opens the box, inside is a normal looking dildo. "What's so special about this?" the woman asked. The cashier then explained that this was a MAGIC dildo, all you needed to do was say "Magic Dildo, _______" and fill in the blank with whatever you wanted the dildo to ...., and it will .... it by itself.
The woman returns home with her new merchandise eager to try it out. She goes up to her room with the dildo and says "magic dildo, my ......!" The next hour is filled with the best sex she has ever had. Afterwards, however, she realizes there is a small problem. How do you get the magic dildo to stop?? The woman panics and gets into her car and speeds over to the sex shop hoping to catch the cashier again before the store closes. Unfortunately, on the way over she is pulled over by a police officer.
"what's the big rush?" The policeman asks. The woman then continues to tell the police officer the story of her strange day, to which the skeptic replies "Ha! Magic dildo my ass!"

I demand that this thread live!!!!!
So a delivery guy is at work, doing his route, delivering packages and what not.
He pulls up to one house and walks up to the door holding a parcel and rings the doorbell.
No answer, but he can hear the faint sound of music from inside the house.
He rings the doorbell again and knocks on the door as well just to make sure.
About 10 seconds later, the door opens and a small boy is standing there, no older than 8 years old, wearing women's underwear, an oversized bra, high heels, tons of making, smoking a cigarette and holding a glass of what looks like scotch on the rocks, all while listening to a Madonna CD rather loudly.
The delivery man says, "Whoa! Err, son are your parents home?"
The kid answers, "The .... do you think?"

Well, I meant white OR black jokes. Except, there arent many white people jokes, either the government keeps taking them off the net or it's just too good to be white in America . Here's a few redneck jokes anyway (the only ones I know)
How do you circumsize a redneck?
Kick his sister in the jaw.
Did you know the toothbrush was invented in Arkansas?
Anywhere else, they probably would have called it a teethbrush.
Two guys from arkansas are walking down the street towards each other, one has a bag over his shoulder. The other stops him and says "'ey mayne, whachu got 'n 'at der sack?" The man says "chickuns". To which, the other say, "'ey mayne, if I guess how many chickuns is in 'at der sack, can I git one from yeh?" The other replies, "Shiiiit, if you guess how many's in 'is her sack, you'n have BOTH of 'em."
And here's a few you'll probably only hear in Louisiana <3
Why hasn't Louisiana fallen off in the ocean yet?
Arkansas Sucks.
How did the water clear from New Orleans quicker than expected after Katrina?
Mississippi Blows.
Don't really have any Texas jokes since the state's so big and wealthy, but just to be thorough, .... Texas too

Didn't realize how long these jokes were, they go faster when I speak them in person, so I punctuated them with shorter ones. Also, I fully condone the derogatory jokes that keep getting deleted as long as you tell racist jokes about every race, it's even right???

A plane is travelling through the air with 3 passengers, a 90 year old priest, a 10 year old schoolboy, and George W. Bush. Midflight, the pilot comes back into the cabin and tells them
"I have some very bad news, we don't have enough fuel to make it to our destination, so we are going to crash in 5 minutes. Unfortunately, there are only 3 parachutes aboard, and I'm taking one. Later, suckers!" and grabs a chute and jumps off the plane. George W. Bush looks at the priest and the schoolboy and proclaims
"Why, I'm the smartest man in the world! The whole wide world! AND I'm president! I can't die, I just can't!" and grabs a pack and jumps off the plane. The priest looks with his old, drooping eyes at the young schoolboy and says "You take the last pack son. I've had a good long life and I know that God is waiting for me in heaven."
The schoolboy replies "Actually mister, we both have parachutes." The priest looked at him, baffled "What do you mean?"
"Well, you know that guy who said he was the smartest man in the world? He just grabbed my school backpack and jumped off"

A cucumber, a pickle, and a ..... are all talking and come to the topic and debate of who has it worst. The cucumber says "I've got it the worst. The people come, slice me up and toss me in a big bowl with a bunch of other mutilated vegetables and eat me!". To which the pickle replies, "You think THAT'S bad? When I'm ripe, they toss me in a big jar of vinegar and let me prune and then eat me!" Hearing both of these arguments the ..... proclaims "That's nothing. Last night they threw rubber tarp over my head, stuck me a dark room and banged my head against the wall until I threw up and passed out!"

A big time texas lawyer is out hunting ducks in the middle of nowhere, and during one particularly fine shot with the shotgun the duck drops onto a patch of land behind a small scraggly fence. The lawyer jumps over the fence to retrieve his kill, and as he does so a tractor pulls up with a very old, very frail farmer on it. The farmer asks what the stranger is doing on his land to which the lawyer replies
"This is my duck, I killed it, and am retrieving it and will be on my way"
The farmer protests, saying "Now wait here son, how I see it that duck is on my land and you're now trespassing, why don't the just leave this one be and go on about your way now, hear?"
This infuriated the lawyer, not about to let some old redneck coot take his rightful kill from him and started shouting "Now listen to me old timer, I killed this duck and I'm a lawyer the second my birdshot killed it it became mine, no matter where it fell, and I will tear you apart in court you old codger, I'm the biggest most expensive lawyer in the state and I will not only sue for MY duck but also for whatever this piece of .... farm is worth for causing me trouble!"
The old man looks at this young strapping hunter and says calmly and thoughtfully "Well, I don't know about all that, but round here we got what we call the 'three kick rule'"
In all his legal training and precedent the lawyer had never heard of the 'three kick rule'
The old man then explains "Goes a lil something like this, see: when we got ourselves a disagreement like this 'un right here, we resolve it with 3 kicks from each party until the other done gives up. So I kick you 3 times in a row, you kick me 3 times in a row, until one of gives up and lets the other have the duck peacefully"
The lawyer looks at this frail, old coot in coveralls and mud and thinks to himself that being so much younger and stronger, he can certainly outlast this contest and on top of that, probably teach this old man a lesson for being so mouthy, too.
"OK old man, I accept!"
The farmer turns off his tractor and slowly, delicately climbs down, turns to the lawyer who's a good foot and a half taller, takes a breath, and lifts his heavy duty, mud crusted boot to nail the hunter right in the kneecap, sending him down and howling in pain. The farmer retracts his boot, and sends his 2nd kick straight into the lawyer's gut, knocking the wind out of him and temporarily silencing his yelling. For his 3rd kick, the farmer took careful aim, and with all the might he could muster and nails the lawyer right in the groin.
For the next few minutes, understandably the lawyer rolls in absolute agony on the ground, while the farmer leaned against his tractor, watching.
Finally, panting and red in the face, the lawyer struggles to his feet and says
"OK... My turn... To kick you 3 times!"
The farmer climbs back on his tractor and replies,
"Ahh, .... it. I give up. You can keep the duck"

St. Peter decides to take the day off to go fishing, so Jesus offers to keep an eye on the Pearly Gates. He is not sure what to do, so Peter tells him to find out a bit about people as they arrive in Heaven, and this will help him decide if he can let them in.
After a while, Jesus sees a little old man with white hair approaching who looks very, very familiar. He asks the old man to tell him about himself. The old man says, "I had a very sad life. I was a carpenter and had a son who I lost at a relatively young age, and although he was not my natural child, I loved him dearly."
Jesus welled up with emotion. He threw his arms around the old man and cried, "Daddy!"
The old man replied, "Pinocchio?"

On the menu: Coconut Sugar Broiled White Grapefruit
Do I like grapefruit? I do now.
Grapefruit grossed me out growing up. When I was a kid, the grapefruit spoons in my Grandma's kitchen drawer were for Italian ice cups. But then I grew up and discovered Campari. And that shit is right, therefore I must like grapefruit. Wrong. I have tried grapefruit every winter since (so, like 3 times) to no avail.
The urge to try again came about through a couple of intriguing grapefruit recipes I've read recently. There's this one, for the wild and crazy kids. Here's one for the forever kids. Broiled grapefruit jumped out at me as a tolerable means of consumption. I picked up both a red and a white grapefruit at the grocery store–go big or go home, friends–and decided I would try heating up the more bitter and intimidating white grapefruit.
I quickly found a broiled white grapefruit recipe. Did I need a recipe for this? No, but as someone who doesn't try new things without major guidance (hello, being WAY behind on my dissertation…), I needed all the help I could get. We didn't have raw sugar, but we did have a bag of coconut sugar and that sounded like a good idea. I cut the grapefruit in half and got a big whiff of it's floral, piney aroma. Nothing smells like grapefruit. I've long liked it's scent, though. The big test was yet to come. After blanketing one half with the coconut sugar, I put it under the broiler for 5 minutes.
You guys! This is freaking delicious! You get the caramely sweetness of the coconut sugar first and finish with a much tempered bitterness of the grapefruit. I devoured it. Grapefruit and I are bitter enemies no more.
Coconut Sugar Broiled White Grapefruit
adapted from The view from Great Island
serves 2
1 white grapefruit
2 teaspoons coconut sugar
Preheat your broiler to high and place an oven rack as close to the heating element as you can. Slice the grapefruit in half and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Cover the cut flesh of each half with a teaspoon of coconut sugar. Place under the broiler until the flesh is bubbly and the sugar has caramelized to a dark golden brown, about 5 minutes.
To serve, loosen each segment with a knife, then scoop that warm, juicy goodness up!

We'll conclude our spring ACC Library Salon Series by exploring Minnesota's rich culinary history.more
You are here
Object in the Open Air
After a cold winter, spring weather invites us to go outside and enjoy the world, and for many, that means spending time in playgrounds and public parks. A few months ago, when it was still cold and snowy, a conversation about public sculpture brought to mind a project documenting each piece of public art in Minneapolis and St. Paul. This conversation was in my mind as I went through the Museum of Contemporary Crafts archives, and an exhibition about public art and public spaces caught my eye.
"Object in the Open Air" dealt with the "enrichment of man-made space." Such a message is difficult to express in a museum environment, and to complement the exhibition the Museum of Contemporary Crafts organized an event in New York City's Central Park. The "Cartoon Performance" was an artistic "happening" that invited artists and the public to participate in painting more than 100 yards of canvas stretched across the park's Cedar Hill. The parks department commissioner, Thomas P. Hoving, was a supporter of the arts and museums that organized several such happenings during his short tenure as commissioner (he later became the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art). A press release for the happening suggested that "parks can be a stage - or a canvas - we have to find more and more ways of bringing more and more people into parks by innovating."
In the early 1960s, support for public art was slowly building. At the time, there was a surge of interest in shaping man-made (public) spaces with beautiful design to combat the perceived ugliness of the urban environment. After years of austere, practical civic and governmental building projects, people were beginning to focus on creating welcoming public spaces. For some it was a matter of attracting people to cities and enticing them to stay, for some it was about creating a distinctive and impressive city, and for others it was about the well being of the human spirit, a crusade to create a beautiful and harmonious environment to nurture people.
In 1959, Philadelphia became the first city to approve an ordinance mandating that building projects set aside a percent of its budget for art, and in 1964 Baltimore followed suit. The mayor of New York City issued an executive order supporting the inclusion of artwork in city buildings in 1965, and in 1966 a Metropolitan Museum of Art curator became the parks commissioner. The political and artistic climate in New York created a perfect situation for a unique exhibition, and in the spring of 1966, the Museum of Contemporary Crafts presented an exhibition that championed the use of sculpture, design, craft, and architecture to make public spaces more welcoming and interactive.
The happening helped bring the exhibition outside the academic space and into the "open air," but the exhibition space also showcased some ideal urban design projects through the display of large-scale photographs slideshows with descriptive text. Also included were landscape drawings and a handful of pieces that illustrated the use of sculpture for interactive play pieces. One such piece was a whimsical design concept for a play structure in the shape of an elephant with a slide in place of a trunk.
Hopefully you are ready to go spend some time outside, appreciating the environment and enjoying public art. But before you go outside, there are some excellent resources online to help you find public art. The one I mentioned above is Start Seeing Art, and there are similar websites for other cities. Philadelphia has an innovative audio program called Museum Without Walls, and Portland has a public art phone app. For excellent resources on public art including a magazine and an online public art toolkit, see Forecast Public Art.

'How Does Jay Carney Sleep at Night?': Napolitano, Kilmeade Discuss James Rosen Probe
Judge Andrew Napolitano weighed in this morning on the investigation of Fox News reporter James Rosen by the Justice Department, calling it an unprecedented action by federal authorities against a reporter.
"This is the first time that the federal government has moved to this level of taking ordinary, reasonable, traditional, lawful reporter skills and claiming they constitute criminal behavior," said Napolitano.
In order to obtain a search warrant to look at Rosen's emails and phone records, the FBI claimed that Rosen had violated espionage laws in his news-gathering efforts. The State Department contractor who shared the information with Rosen, Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, was indicted on espionage charges and is awaiting trial. The sensitive materials pertained to a planned nuclear test by North Korea in 2009.
If Doctor Asks About Guns, Do You Have to Answer?
Napolitano went on to explain why the government's arguments against Rosen do not add up.
Brian Kilmeade pointed out that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is now being asked to defend this apparent crackdown against journalists by the Obama administration.
"I don't know how Jay Carney sleeps at night, because he came from the reporting world," said Kilmeade.
The judge agreed.

Selenski to return to county courthouse
WILKES-BARRE - Accused killer Hugo Selenski is scheduled to return to the Luzerne County Courthouse for a status conference on Nov. 25.
Selenski's murder trial is on hold indefinitely due to a grand jury investigation, which was revealed in court in late July just two weeks before a much-anticipated trial was expected to finally begin.
Luzerne County Judge Fred A. Pierantoni III signed a court order Tuesday to transport Selenski from State Correctional Institution-Mahanoy to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility to be available for the Nov. 25 conference.
Selenski, 39, and Paul Weakley, 44, are accused in the 2002 killings of pharmacist Michael Kerkowski and Kerkowski's girlfriend, Tammy Fassett. Their bodies were found buried in the yard of Selenski's Kingston Township home in May 2003. Selenski was charged with those killings March 15, 2006 - minutes after being cleared of an unrelated set of homicide charges.
In September, Pierantoni granted a prosecution request to delay Weakly's trial until after Selenski goes to trial. Weakley is expected to be a key witness against Selenski.

Ostriches were an exotic attraction
The ostrich races yesterday at Coronado track were witnessed by quite a crowd. Napoleon, the famous sprinter … drew a buggy weighing 280 pounds and a man weighing 137 pounds, but in spite of the handicap made a half-mile in a few seconds over two minutes. He was paced by a man on a bicycle. The sight was a novel one.
San Diego Union, May 25, 1896
The world's largest birds had fascinated San Diegans since they first appeared in town in January 1884. The ostriches had been brought from South Africa by E.J. Johnson, manager of the recently formed American Ostrich Co. Johnson hoped to raise the birds on a San Diego ranch and sell their valuable feathers, which were rapidly becoming a popular women's fashion accessory.
The entrepreneur found a vacant horse corral on L Street to quarter his ostriches as they recuperated from their ocean voyage from Cape Town and their railroad journey from New Orleans. Johnson then shopped for a suitable ranch and soon bought an 80-acre parcel of rural land below Fallbrook in a town called Mount Fairview (today's Bonsall).
While Johnson built the ranch, San Diegans flocked to the downtown corral to see the 7- to 9-foot-tall, flightless birds. Johnson charged visitors 50 cents each to see the exotic creatures, "not for the purpose of making money," he explained, "but to keep away a crowd, who are apt to injure the birds by pulling their feathers."
Johnson's birds were hardly crowd-friendly. As one observer noted: "Far from being timid creatures, burying their heads in the sand in the foolish manner ascribed to them at the approach of danger, they show great excitement at the presence of strangers, the males advancing with flashing eyes and wings defiantly projecting upwards, and ready to battle to the death."
The press was captivated, deciding that even ostrich egg production was newsworthy. "One of the ostriches dropped an egg yesterday — the first since their arrival here," the Union reported. "It measured eighteen inches in circumference the long way and fourteen the short. That would make a pretty good starter for an egg breakfast."
Chefs from the first-class Florence Hotel on Fir Street bought eggs from Johnson to serve to guests. "We don't believe that 'ostrich eggs boiled' ever appeared on any hotel dinner bill — at least until yesterday," the Union reported. "The guests, without exception, pronounced them to be of a delicate flavor, much better than hen eggs."
In late April, Johnson's ostriches were loaded on a train to Oceanside and then moved by truck to their new home at Mount Fairview. Neighbors within a radius of 20 miles of the farm were invited to a two-day open house.
Johnson's property would be only the second ostrich farm established in America. Just months earlier, Dr. Charles J. Sketchley, an English ostrich farmer from South Africa, had begun raising the birds at a ranch in Anaheim. That flock would soon move to South Pasadena.
The ostriches at Mount Fairview thrived in the North County climate, which was similar to the bird's Cape Town environment. One observer described the ostrich farm as "a bit of Africa dropped down between the hills." The original herd tripled in size in two years, making it the largest ostrich farm in the United States.
A branch farm was started in Coronado in 1887 with one original African pair and 13 of their California progeny. A contract between Johnson and Coronado Beach Co. gave the American Ostrich Co. a half block on A Street between Ninth and Tenth avenues. The ostrich corral would be a popular feature at Coronado Beach for several years.
