NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. (SEAS) are up 2.20% to $19.07 in pre-market trading on Monday, following an "outperform" ratings initiation at Credit Suisse (CS) .
The firm said it started coverage on the marine mammal theme park based on its belief the stock may bottom near current levels.
"With a 4.5% dividend yield and $250 million share repurchase program, we see good downside support at current levels," Credit Suisse said.EXCLUSIVE OFFER: See inside Jim Cramer's multi-million dollar charitable trust portfolio to see the stocks he and Stephanie Link think could be potentially HUGE winners.

SeaWorld's stock began to turn around on Friday, following a dramatic sell-off after disappointing second quarter earnings, after the company announced plans to spend several million dollars expanding the habitats of its killer whales.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates SEAWORLD ENTERTAINMENT INC as a Sell with a ratings score of D+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate SEAWORLD ENTERTAINMENT INC (SEAS) a SELL. This is driven by multiple weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. Among the areas we feel are negative, one of the most important has been a generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:

The promised land for television is once again on our doorstep.
After an unusually strong summer of TV content on cable, the broadcast networks are finally ready to debut their 2011-2012 shows in the coming weeks. And while the networks have several strong drama contenders lined up, the cable channels still landed four slots on our fall preview list.
The following list contains our picks for the most intriguing new shows of the 2011 season. Not all of these shows are going to catch on, but somewhere on this list is the next breakout hit or fan favorite series. Make your predictions about the fall schedule in the comment section below!
Person of Interest
Thursdays, 9PM CBS
Debut: September 22
Who are the only people who could possibly make us care about a crime procedural on CBS?
Why, that would be Jonathan Nolan ("The Dark Knight") and J,J. Abrams ("Star Trek"), of course. "Person of Interest" is Nolan's first TV project while Abrams has had a nearly golden touch with genre favorites like "Lost," "Alias" and "Fringe."
Jim Caviezel stars as former CIA agent John Reese, a presumed dead man who finds himself recruited by the mysterious billionaire Mr. Finch (Michael Emerson from "Lost") to stop crimes that will take place in the future based on a program (written by Finch) that can predict the identities of people who are about to be involved in violent crimes. The catch is that the program can't distinguish between victims, witnesses or perpetrators, leaving Reese to sort it all out before events come to a head.
On paper, it strikes us as an interesting mix between a quasi-science fiction premise and the old school procedurals that CBS loves so much. There's only one word that strikes fear in our hearts about this one:
But it appears that Abrams has learned his lesson from that misstep and with "Person of Interest" inheriting the coveted Thursday night time slot of "CSI," it could be poised to become this fall's biggest hit.
American Horror Story
Wednesdays, 10PM FX
Debut: October 05
The words "From the creators of 'Glee'" may inspire horror of a different type from some of our readers, but Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have a history at FX with "Nip/Tuck" and by all accounts, "American Horror Story" is going to be one of the strangest shows on TV this year. And I mean that in a good way.
Dylan McDermott ("The Practice") and Connie Britton ("Friday Night Lights") star as Ben and Vivien Harmon, a married couple who move their family into a new house as they try to repair their relationship in the aftermath of Ben's infidelity. As you might expect from the title of the show, the house is haunted by bizarre ghosts and apparitions that feed off of the family's fears and desires.
Genre veterans Tim Minear ("Angel") and James Wong ("The X-Files') are among the notable writers on this show, which also boasts a stellar supporting cast, including Jessica Lange, Denis O'Hare and even Zachary Quinto for a few episodes as a former owner of the house.
FX tends to have some of the best dramas in television and "American Horror Story" is likely to continue that tradition. The only thing that can kill this show is if viewers simply don't watch it.
Charlie's Angels
Thursdays, 8PM ABC
Debut: September 22
"Charlie's Angels" is either going to be fun throwback show or an unmitigated disaster. But never underestimate America's desire to watch pretty women in action!
Annie Ilonzeh, Minka Kelly and Rachael Taylor certainly are attractive enough to be among Charlie Townsend's famous "angels," but other updates are more head-scratching. Whose idea was it to make Bosley (Ramon Rodriguez) into a young Latin computer hacker. That makes as much sense as turning him into Bernie Mac.
The new series was adapted by "Smallville" creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who have a long history of updating concepts for a modern audience. Say what you will about "Smallville" (and I've said plenty), but it worked as a series and nothing can take away the fact that it had an incredible ten year run.
Will "Charlie's Angels" be able to achieve anywhere near that level of success? We'll find out soon enough…
Fridays, 9PM NBC
Debut: October 21
This fall, a new series invites us into a world in which fairy tale characters are real.
Former "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" writers David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf are bringing "Grimm" to NBC starting in October. The series is described as part cop procedural, part dark fantasy.
Homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) discovers that he is descended from the legendary hunters known as Grimms, who confront dark supernatural forces. And now it's Nick's turn to continue the family legacy and take on all of the evil fairy tale characters alongside his partner, Hank Griffin (Russell Hornsby) and a "reformed Big Bad Wolf" named Eddy Munroe (Silas Weir Mitchell).
But on Friday nights, "Grimm" faces an even scarier dilemma: it's directly up against both "Fringe" and "Supernatural," two shows with a passionate fan base that aren't likely to switch over for a new series. If "Grimm" is going to survive the season, it needs to be something really special.
Once Upon A Time
Sundays, 8PM ABC
Debut: October 23
This fall, a new series invites us into a world in which fairy tale characters are real. Now, where have we heard that one before?
That's right, there are TWO fairy tale related shows on the air this fall. And if you think that's confusing, wait until next year when we get two "Beauty and the Beast" series.
Unlike "Grimm," "Once Upon A Time" focuses more on the legendary characters like Snow White, Prince Charming, Pinocchio and the Seven Dwarves among others, as they struggle to remember their true selves while living in a town called Storybrooke. The similarities to Bill Willingham's "Fables" comic book series are very striking, but former "Lost" writers (and "Once Upon A Time" creators) Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have insisted that their story is different than Willingham's epic.
Former "House" star Jennifer Morrison leads the series as Emma Swan, the possible daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) who discovers the link between the real world and the fantasy characters who now inhabit it. Even one of our favorite "Stargate Universe" actors, Robert Carlyle will have a starring role as Rumplestiltskin and his real world alter-ego, Mr. Gold.
Horowitz and Kitsis have also stated that "Once Upon A Time" won't have the heavy mythology that "Lost" became known for. But what if we liked that mythology?
Regardless, Sundays are sink or swim for ABC. Either "Once Upon A Time" pulls in the viewers immediately or it'll be gone before you can click over to the next page.
The Playboy Club
Mondays, 10PM NBC
Debut: September 19
Have you ever wondered if shows like "The Playboy Club" would get so much attention if the Parent's TV Council didn't constantly try to drum up so much publicity for a boycott?
The PTC freaked out over reports that Amber Heard, Jenna Dewan, Leah Renee, Eddie Cibrian and other stars of "The Playboy Club" had signed contracts that included nudity clauses. But don't get too excited. Despite the PTC's overheated rhetoric about NBC broadcasting porn, those scenes are probably meant for the eventual DVD and international releases. Too bad… I'm more interested in seeing that version of the series.
What we're left with is a show that's essentially "Mad Men" meets "Playboy." Whether it lives up to that description is anybody's guess.
But as I've said before, never underestimate America's desire to watch pretty women prance around in revealing costumes!
Sundays, 10PM Showtime
Debut: October 02
This fall, former "24" producer Howard Gordon is bringing the Israeli TV series "Prisoners of War" to the U.S. as "Homeland." The premise for the series is reminiscent of "The Manchurian Candidate" and it follows an American Marine named Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) who is freed from Al-Qaeda after nearly a decade as their prisoner. At home he is hailed as a hero for surviving his ordeal, but CIA operative Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) soon becomes convinced that Brody has become Al-Qaeda's secret weapon for their next devastating terrorist attack on our country.
The twist is that Carrie might be out of her mind. Her credibility is called into question because she's apparently addicted to various pills and for some of her questionable personal affairs. It's more than likely that Carrie will be proven correct. But the idea that she could be wrong is very compelling.
Mandy Patinkin ("Criminal Minds"), Morena Baccarin ("V") and David Harewood ("Robin Hood") head up the rest of the supporting cast. Showtime is demonstrating a lot of confidence by pairing "Homeland" with "Dexter" on Sunday nights. If it lives up to the hype it could be one of the network's next signature hits.
Fridays, 10PM Starz
Debut: October 21
After a long career in television and movies, Kelsey Grammer should have nothing left to prove to anyone. And yet his latest role could spark a reinvention for how we see Grammer as an actor.
In the new Starz original series "Boss," Grammer will portray Tom Kane, the ruthless and power hungry mayor of Chicago who has a knack for making government work by any means necessary. Especially if it means that government works for him.
In addition to his political enemies, Kane also has to deal with a degenerative disorder in his brain that is causing the iron fisted politician to slowly lose his grip on his empire. While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Grammer described Kane as "tenacious, egomaniacal, philanthropic, empathic, vicious and irredeemable."
While we probably wouldn't vote for Kane if we knew that much about him in real life, it sure sounds like he's going to be a fun character to watch this fall.
Hell on Wheels
Sundays, 10PM AMC
Debut: November 06
Despite a year that's seen behind-the-scenes turmoil on "The Walking Dead," "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men," AMC is poised to add another series to its original line up in November, with "Hell on Wheels."
The title of the show refers to the lawless frontier towns that literally moved with the construction of the transcontinental railroad. "Hell on Wheels" is set in 1865 after the Civil War, with Anson Mount starring as Cullen Bohannon; a former confederate soldier who is hunting down the union soldiers who murdered his wife. As Cullen seeks his revenge by joining the growing construction site, his situation is complicated when the Native American tribes essentially declare war on the railroad company for encroaching upon their lands.
Rapper turned actor, Common co-stars as Elam Ferguson, a recently freed slave, with "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" veteran Colm Meaney as "Doc" Durant, one of the primary investors behind the railroad. Dominique McElligott, Ben Esler, Philip Burke and Eddie Spears round out the cast.
"Hell on Wheels" looks like the closest thing to a serious Western on television since "Deadwood" went off the air. (Although some have suggested that the show should be called a "mid-Western.") The best part about this series is that it will begin airing right around the time that most broadcast networks start pulling their original programming for the winter. As fans of TV, we need new programming year round.
Luckily, "Hell on Wheels" looks like it might be one of the best shows just when we need it the most.
Terra Nova
Mondays, 8PM Fox
Debut: September 26
Earlier I mentioned that "Charlie's Angels" could be a fun show or a complete disaster. Well… that goes double for "Terra Nova."
The series was originally planned to debut last season before a series of delays saw it shelved until later this month. And during the long hiatus between the pilot and the series, nearly all of the writers were reportedly released and the budget for the first episode was said to be among the most expensive in TV history at $30 million. But what did you expect when the plot revolves around humanity escaping from a doomed future to an alternate past tmeline in which the dinosaurs are still around… and some of them are very hungry for human flesh.
Jason O'Mara stars as Jim Shannon, a man who leads his wife, Elisabeth (Shelley Conn) as well as their children Josh ( Landon Liboiron), Maddy (Naomi Scott) and Zoe (Alana Mansour) to the past to join the Terra Nova colony run by Nathaniel Taylor; who is played by Stephen Lang of "Avatar" fame.
Half of the pilot was screened at Comic-Con International earlier this year. And while it looks very promising, the real test of the series will be how well it holds up over the course of its thirteen episode first season.
There's a long list of producers attached to this show, but Steven Spielberg is by far the most well known name associated with the project. But if there was ever a TV series that was too big to fail, it's "Terra Nova."
If the series pops at all in the ratings, look for Fox to give it an early renewal for next season to get a jump on production. But if "Terra Nova" turns into another "Lone Star," it's going to be a long time before you see another sci-fi series on Fox.

Here at the Traveler we've taken a small step, appearance-wise, to make commenting easier: We've gotten rid of the CAPTCHA process.
At least outwardly, that is. In recent days we've been besieged by spammers from the far side of the world. On Monday there were 60 spam comments that we had to deflect. The flood has been running about that pace ever since.
Fortunately, we've found a behind-the-scenes spam blocker that is smarter than the average bear (well, maybe not this bear.)
Without going into details, this new approach allows us to do away with the CAPTCHA process for readers. It's still working in the background, but you don't have to deal with it.
Please let us know if you encounter any problems posting comments. We enjoy your thoughts, ideas, and reactions, and don't want to make it a hardship for you to share them with the rest of the readers.

National League Standings, August 8, 1997
The game was awesome. I remember in the first inning, James Mouton was up for the Astros and was batting like below .200 and my cousin made a comment about how he sucks and then BANG! He hit the ball out for a home run. My cousin should learn to keep his mouth shut, LOL! The next half of the inning, Brian McRae (he arrived that day) got on base leading off with a single and got picked off. These fans started yelling, "We want Lance!"
But the Mets went on to win 6-1 behind a good starting effort from Brian Bohanon and some good offense knocking Shane Reynolds out in the fourth inning. He was a Met killer back then. Brian McRae did go 3 for 4, but did not do much the rest of that season (he only had like a couple good months in 1998 when he had some big hits). I had a lot of fun this night excluding the news of that trade. Lance Johnson was one of my favorites.
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate

Akmal Saleh
Akmal is based n Sydney, Australia.
Akmal is a seasoned comic with an ever growing profile, Akmal Saleh has toured nationally with Jimeoin, Ben Elton, Steady Eddy, The Amazing Jonathon, the Umbilical Brothers and has supported Steven Wright on two of his Australian tours.
At the age of 11 Akmal Saleh's parents gathered up their children and left Egypt headed for Australian shores. Growing up in a typical Sydney suburb, Akmal began to recognise the differences between his Arab heritage and the Australian way of life, which would later shape him as a comedian.
In 1992 Akmal Teamed up with fellow comedians Anthony Mir and Gary Eck to co-write and star in "All Aussies are Boofta" - a sketch comedy show which enjoyed successful runs and rave reviews at The Harold Park Hotel, Parramatta Riverside Theatre and the Harbourside Brasserie Sydney.
Their next show "Bound And Gagged" once again received rave reviews.
Their third award winning show "Hoot" enjoyed a successful run at the 1996 Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne Comedy Festivals and was subsequently invited to appear at the Gided Balloon in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Upon returning to Australia the comedy trio created their own TV series "The 50 Foot Show" which aired on the comedy channel in Australia and New Zealand.
In 2002 Akmal co-wrote and starred in the Miramax feature film "You Can't Stop The Murders".
Akmal continually displays an incredible ability to deal with hot topics in a non-offensive way as he touches on issues such as religion, terrorism and hysterical looks at modern day life in Australia.
This has resulted in regular appearances on TV shows such as:
In 2004 Akmal premiered his stand up show Gullible at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival where he sold out each performance.
Next stop was the New Zealand Comedy Festival. Akmal continued to tour across Australia headlining the "Comedy Festival Road Show". He was then invited to take his show to the Vancouver Comedy Festival in Canada. Later that year Akmal performed a hugely successful season of "Gullible" at the Sydney Opera House where he once again received rave reviews.
Akmal returned in 2005 with "Akmal Live"premiering at the Sydney "Cracker Comedy Festival" and returning to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival where, due to popular demand, he added two show's a night on weekends selling out every show of the festival.
Akmal was also a highlight on the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala and the Great Debate both airing on Channel 10.
Throughout 2006 Akmal went from strength to strength beginning the year with the Adelaide Fringe Festival and selling out all his shows making him one of the hottest tickets of the festival. Next Akmal returned to the Sydney Cracker Comedy Festival, then the Melbourne International Comedy Festival where he sold out all of his 27 shows.
Akmal's popularity continued to grow throughout the year with continual TV exposure, including numerous appearances on the hugely successful Thank God You're Here.

Hip-Hop at Intonation '06
So two-day-long outdoor music festivals aren't really hip-hop, in general. I'm sure if the city of Chicago actually thought there would be more than four black people (I counted) in attendance at this year's Intonation Music Festival, they never would've allowed the shit to take place in Union Park. After all, someone could've gotten shot.
That said, rap was out in full force on both days of this year's event. It seemed as if Vice made a conscious effort to add a lot of diversity to the line-up – perhaps to combat their image as being vaguely racist white hipsters or maybe just to bring out Chi-town hip-hop fans. If it was the latter, then obviously it didn't really work. But it was a nice try anyway.
Here's a brief rundown of the hip-hop shows I caught this weekend.
Devin the Dude. I'm somewhat familiar with his oeuvre, but I'm not a huge fan or anything. He must have done about ten songs that were all about weed and sex – mostly weed. From my vantage point, the crowd didn't seem to be into it at all.
Ghostface Killah. Despite the fact that he wasn't an actual headliner, Ghostface might've been this weekend's most well-received performance. Not that this is news or anything, but white hipsters love Ghostface. His set was a somewhat abbreviated version of his normal show, but it was still damn good.
Lady Sovereign. Jay-Z's new pint-sized British techno rapper did a brief set in between Ghostface and the Streets, who were the first evening's headliners. The crowd didn't really seem to be feeling her shit at all.
The Streets. Do the Streets count as hip-hop? Their set wasn't as hype as Ghostface's but I thought Mike Skinner's "unique" brand of humor translated surprisingly well to a live setting. The jigfellow that does a lot of the singing on his records isn't as much of a focal point on the actual albums, but he's a real riot to watch on stage, too.
Cage. Def Jux also happened to be playing a show in Chicago Saturday night, which I caught. Cage seemed surprisingly younger and more normal-looking than you'd think. He must've kicked whatever he was on. I thought his performance was alright, but you couldn't tell that to the troubled-looking kids who were in the audience that night. The dude has an intense fan base.
Mr. Lif. I had heard good things about Lif's live show, but you know how critics like to give a free pass to artists with strong political content. Word to Boots Riley. Come to find out, this dude really is that good. It's hard to get an idea just listening to the records, but Mr. Lif is absolute monster on stage. More so than any other rapper I've seen, the dude can spit loud and fast and still maintain a great level of clarity.
Rhymefest. I showed up about half way through Rhymefest's set the second day. The crowd was still kinda sparse at this point, not unlike Devin the Dude's set, but Rhymefest still managed to get shit reasonably hype. His voice projects incredibly well and he takes advantage of that by doing a lot of a capella stuff, freestyles and what have you.
Lupe Fiasco. Hip-Hop's next big thing (nullus) put on a good set Sunday afternoon, but not quite on the level of most of the rest of this weekend's hip-hop. He opened rhyming over a bunch of Kanye's shit, which the crowd enjoyed, but the they didn't seem to be as into his own stuff, except for "Kick Push." He went on a bit of a spiel about the situation with his album and announced that Jay-Z would be contributing a verse. No one seemed to give a shit.
dead prez. Hilariously, about an hour before dead prez went on, mad terrorist kids started setting up shop in front of their stage. There were several different kinds of anarchists (gay ones, ecological ones, etc.) and also some kids from the Tamil Tigers, not to mention a few angry-looking older black people. Their set was good-not-great, but the crowd seemed really into it. They even got about half the crowd to shout "reparations" on cue.

Oh, please, I would never do this!
Our buds at Loyola tell us today that if you are at a holiday gathering and an elderly relative "smells bad," you should take the person to the ER as their Christmas present.
First, no way.
Second, then YOU will be in the ER.
Three, what do you say--this guy or gal may be too drifty to take a shower?
They also say contact the person's doctor. Hello--holiday!!
Yes, you can tell is someone is slipping, but unless they are dehydrated, have fallen, or are talking weirdly, this is not an ER issue.
Yes, the ER is great on holidays if you have some alarming symptoms. Go if you need to! But for this--Aunt Mildred isn't herself...That is a WHOLE 'nother project and not quickly accomplished.
The Christimas gathering, however, could be a chance for all relatives to talk and plan some action.

— October
By Ben Ellison
Saltwater Cellular II
|Part 3
Onboard Wireless sounds great–particularly for PC-oriented boaters–but there may be a rub in U.S. GSM coverage. While this digital-cellular service type is dominant in Europe and Asia, it's been slow coming to our country, and it's darn hard to get straight answers from any cellular provider about exact coverage areas. I found my best source to be a stock analyst who covers the wireless world; he reports that all U.S. GSM licenses have been sold and will eventually go live, and he guesses that a user cruising the U.S. coasts would find that about 70 percent of the areas are now actually covered. So the drawback (for the time being) with the Onboard Wireless system is dead spots. Note, however, that it can be integrated with a boat's existing satellite communications hardware, and the company plans to add its own inexpensive satellite capability next year.
Another unique marine cellular device is Garmin's NavTalk, a combination mapping GPS and analog cellphone. It's a little bulky by cellphone standards, but it's also waterproof and tough–useful for dinghy exploration, perhaps even survival situations–and has become a desirable gizmo for certain "techy" boaters. Garmin recently introduced a slimmed-down (though no longer waterproof) GSM NavTalk–with sophisticated mapping and data synching functions–in Europe and Asia. The company also has a new Pilot NavTalk that becomes a fixed unit in a plane. Clearly Garmin is focusing design energy on cellular, so it seems likely it will come up with new and innovative marine phones.
Most boaters–especially cruisers–could make use of any one of these appealing products, but imagine putting them all together. Picture Raymarine's dexterous voice network combined with Onboard Wireless' speedy PC interface and a rack of mobiles–one of them a Garmin mapping marine unit–ready to take your SIM card. Now that's boat phone nirvana.

How did this first page of brainstorming lead to out-raising Colbert Report 3-to-1?
1:30am Bratislava, Slovakia, this past September 31
One cappuccino, two cappuccino, three cappuccino, four. Neurons humming but still no dice. It was time to get nervous.
"Hey, mate. We're heading out to Sub Club. You want to come?" Chris, a Kiwi and my chaperone for the Rugby World Cup, was ready to hit the streets and unwind.
I pulled my headset off of one ear. "Not just yet, man. I have to get LitLib ready for launch and there is still no website." He was well aware of my latest hair-brained idea. I somehow hadn't been able to pull the designers and programmers together last-minute.
"It launches end of October, right?"
"Nope. It launches in less than 12 hours."
Time for more cappuccino…
That's how LitLiberation, the online literacy campaign I organized that ended on 11/1, got started. I opted for WordPress.com at the 11th hour and got the site out to the world. It was like, as one professor of mine once said, a swimming duck: smooth and calm from the outside, and kicking like hell underneath it all. Despite what some might claim, that's how most products and ideas get launched. As disorganized messes.
The end result? It didn't hit the ambitous goal of $1,000,000, but it did raise $200,000 and that total continues to grow. It raised about $140K for US public schools alone, impacting 15,563 students and earning recognition from Google in the process.
Y'all don't mess around, and you should be very proud.
Fundraising is a hard business. Most people who are candidates for helping have developed donor deafness under an avalanche of unending requests. That said, to put $200,000 in perspective, here is what a few 800-lb. gorillas raised during that same time:
Colbert Report (with at least 5 rebroadcasts driving people to his donation page):
My hope is that the success of LitLib inspires people to test their mettle in new worlds. Its success has little to do with Tim Ferriss and everything to do with a few simple ground rules I scribbled in my journal just before starting:
Be creative—start scaring yourself.
Explore the unthinkable.
Is it a life-or-death decision? No.
"Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back." -Babe Ruth
No, it wasn't sophisticated. I had no idea what I was doing, nor what I was getting myself into.
The resulting model and outcome are demonstrations of a wonderful observation: lack of resources is often your greatest strength. How? It forces you to use new methods and test the options incumbents wouldn't consider. It forces innovation. You have no other choice. Naivete, paired with unfounded optimism and complete ignorance, often helps here.
My sincerest thanks to all of you kick-ass readers and supporters for helping to make this a reality! It's been an incredible ride, and I hope others duplicate and improve upon this model to raise funds and awareness for causes worldwide. It can be done. My congratulations and thanks also to everyone who contributed to a better future through education on other blogs (special shout-out to the formidable and most clever Tomato Nation) and through other channels. The biggest changes will take us all.
Remember: sometimes not knowing what you're doing is an advantage.
Explore the unthinkable.

–The Big Lebowski, 1998
What to make of last night's mid-term election? Democrats never articulated a positive unifying theme. Most of the Democrats' endless fundraising appeals tried to scare supporters about the Koch Brothers and Karl Rove pouring millions of dollars into Republican campaigns. Republicans ran a national campaign on a unifying theme, but that theme — "President Obama is bad" — was also wholly negative. Most voters didn't vote for anything.

I've been afflicted with horrible headaches for many years. I've tried every treatment known to mankind, from medication (like iocaine powder, I developed an immunity to it) to chiropractic (which my back and neck loved, but it did nothing for the headaches.) I was finally put on naproxen, which is the prescription name for Aleve. Brand new on the market at the time, it had not yet been discovered just how hard naproxen is on the stomach. Not only did it not take care of the headaches, but it did a number on my stomach.
I didn't know what else to do. The headaches were so bad, they were often debilitating. I got so used to having a headache, my husband ceased asking me if I had one; he instead asked me how bad the headache was.
One day my chiropractor and I were talking about weight loss, and he recommended a book called "Eat Right 4 Your Type." The premise of the book is that you should eat certain foods that have been tested to work well with your blood type. Being an overweight person and wanting to change that, I got a copy of the book.
I'm a B+, and Bs should not eat chicken, tomatoes, and corn, along with several other things. Deciding to give it a go, I eliminated all the no-no's from my diet for a solid month. I didn't lose any weight, but I discovered something amazing. The headaches had completely disappeared!
Because I hadn't lost any weight, I went back to eating the way I had before, and the headaches came back. Oh, boy, did they come back. So I did some experimenting, and figured out that I am allergic to corn.
But not just regular corn. Did you know that corn is in just about everything? It lurks under the pseudonyms maltodextrin, corn syrup, corn solids, dextrose – hey, it's even xanthan gum. Corn is present in a large number of prepared foods currently available on the market, and what's worse – it's a highly addictive substance. Your body wants more once you've had some.
Corn allergies cause more symptoms than just headaches. You can develop itching or hives, heart palpitations, increase in temperature, or difficulty digesting. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, and especially if your blood type is B, I encourage you to read labels and go without corn for a few weeks, and see if you feel better. You can also go see an allergist and have yourself tested.
It is difficult to avoid corn in foods (Pizza Hut even puts corn meal on the bottom of the pizza crust to keep it from sticking to the pan) but if you are allergic to it, it's well worth eliminating it from your diet.

Simpson County authorities are working an attempted murder/suicide on Guy Sherman Road, near New Hebron.
Authorities say 40-year-old Simina Boykin shot her daughter, 21-year-old Georgia Boykin, then turned the gun on herself. Simina is dead, but Georgia survived a gunshot wound to the head and was airlifted to UMMC.
The husband, James Frank Boykin, found both bodies. He believes it is related to a child custody case involving Georgia's infant child.
Boykin told investigators that the two women failed to appear in Simpson County Youth Court Monday afternoon in a case involving Georgia's infant. The child is in the hospital suffering from a broken arm in a separate incident.
Boykin told authorities that the women feared that Georgia would lose custody of the baby, and he believed the shooting was a result. Both were shot in the head.
"When he went in the house he found his wife laying on the floor shot and his daughter was laying beside her also shot but his daughter was alive,"said Sheriff Kenneth Lewis.
The State Crime Lab is assisting with the investigation.

Baker throws five touchdowns in six-man victoryJul 5, 2012 By Bruce Tippets, Sports Editor
Mitchell Baker from Dubois threw five touchdown passes
to carry the Wyoming 6-man football all-stars past Nebraska 54-52 on Saturday at Arthur County High School in Nebraska.
The final touchdown from Baker came in the final minutes of the all-star game after he hooked up with Little Snake River's Daniel Wille.
"The last touchdown pass I didn't get to see Daniel catch it because I got tackled," Baker said. "I was laying on the ground and I heard the crowd go crazy. I knew right then that it had gone for a touchdown."
This was the first all-star game between Wyoming and Nebraska in 6-man football.
Arthur County High School is the three-time defending 6-man Nebraska champs.
"It was really fun to play against Nebraska," Baker said. "We got to have fun with the Nebraska players before the game started. They have some really cool players."
The game was four 12 minute quarters.
"I really expected there to be more running in the game," Baker said. "It was awesome to throw five touchdown passes in one game."
Willie scored five touchdowns in the all-star game. He had three running and two passes from Baker.
In the fall, Little Snake River beat Dubois for the 6-man championship at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.
"Our coaches on Saturday did a really good job of mixing the plays up," Baker said. "It was just worked really well. I had some great receivers that made me look really good."
Baker will now head to Casper College in the fall to become a high school teacher.
Baker ran track for the Rams and played basketball.
"I'm really going to miss playing for sports," Baker said.
Wyoming 54, Nebraska 52
"Our team got extremely competitive in the second half," Baker said. "For the first half we were trying to do all that we could. You could tell that we weren't doing our best."
Nebraska built a 46-20 lead at the break.
"After halftime, we knew that we had to get going," Baker said.
Baker played middle linebacker in the all-star game.
"We just knew in order to win the game that we had to make defensive stops," Baker said.
The tide started to change in the third when Wyoming outscored Nebraska 22-6.
In the final quarter, Wyoming won the period 12-0 to complete the victory.
The other touchdown in the fourth quarter was from Baker to Rex Stanley on a 60-yard touchdown pass.

This patch adds most of the options available for regular CREATE TABLE syntax to the CREATE TABLE x AS SELECT ... and AS EXECUTE ... Specifically this allows specification of on commit behavior for temp tables and tablespaces for regular tables to these two statements. Additionally with/without oids is now available for the EXECUTE variant. Currently you still cannot specify inheritance attributes with these commands, but this seems like a more complicated task.

British-born journalist and atheist intellectual Christopher Hitchens, who made the United States his home and backed the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, died on Thursday at the age of 62. Hitchens died in Houston of pneumonia, a complication of cancer of the esophagus, Vanity Fair magazine said. "Christopher Hitchens – the incomparable critic, masterful rhetorician, fiery wit, and fearless bon vivant – died today at the age of 62," Vanity Fair said. The Post's Jonathan Kay remembers 'the greatest columnist and essayist in the English-speaking world.'
As the greatest columnist and essayist in the English-speaking world, Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) was read and admired by millions of readers — including National Post readers. But he was even more admired by fellow journalists: Hitchens did things the rest of us are scared to do, like subject himself to waterboarding so he could decide whether it's truly torture (it is), or travel to Iraq at the height of the war. Hitchens also had the editorial courage to express what was in his brain, without first pushing his words through the "who will this piss off?" filter that just about every other columnist on earth uses to avoid alienating his "base."
Hitchens had no base — which is to say, no regular mob of readers who could be depended on to applaud his columns — because he had no dogma. He supported the Iraq war, but also wasn't afraid to call bullshit on the "alternate reality" approach to science embraced by Tea Party types and Christian conservatives. (This explains why, despite his hawkish attitude on Iraq, he always remained a virtual non-entity on many hard-core conservative web sites and media outlets — they simply didn't know what to make of him.) He was a libertarian, but also a hawk. He supported Israel, but never made the subject a fetish, or gave a free pass to the hard-core Jewish settlers whose fanaticism is no different from that of any other militant ethnic movement. He decried Islamofascism, mocked Mormonism, flipped the bird to God and Mother Teresa alike, and embraced obscure (to Westerners) geopolitical causes such as that of the Kurds.
In the current GOP presidential field, there is not a single candidate who has not been savaged, either directly or indirectly, by one or another column written by Hitchens. In an age when everyone in Washington is obsessed with getting face time on talking-head shows, Hitchens rarely got invited — and actually found a way to get thrown off the set when he did (as occurred when he used the N-word, in an entirely non-racist way, on Hardball With Chris Matthews).
Hitchens often is compared with George Orwell. And it is of morbid interest that both men died about 20 years short of the average lifespans associated with their respective eras — largely thanks to fundamental choices they made about how to lead their lives.
Orwell was a brilliant writer, but also a cranky, anti-social sourpuss. And he spent much of his latter life in an abandoned farmhouse on the remote Scottish island of Jura, whose cold, rainy climate exacerbated his tuberculosis. To the extent Orwell is remembered for his relationships with other intellectuals, they were relationships conducted at long distance through the exchange of letters.
Hitchens, for all his other similarities with Orwell, was the exact opposite in this respect. His essays are peppered with detailed descriptions of his literary and social hobnobbing with elites from Britain, America and the Middle East. There seems scarcely a famous writer or world leader about whom Hitchens could not provide a breezy anecdote with which to season one of his blistering essays. He was not just a polemicist, but also a raconteur, and he lived the very un-Orwellian alcohol-soaked, smoke-hazed life that we associate with that French-derived term.
This lifestyle (the smoking, more particularly) likely gave Hitchens the esophageal cancer that killed him on Thursday. But as with Orwell — who I doubt would have conceived of the grey world of Nineteen Eighty Four without the gloomy, rain-soaked isolation of the Hebrides for inspiration — there was a faustian element to Hitchens' choice: Many of his best columns were based around his social vignettes, and the bits of gossip and insight he glimpsed amid smoke rings and empty highball glasses.
On several occasions, when I dined with Hitchens in Toronto, I had occasion to see how the man operates: He dominates every discussion with his wit, and then sits back as the second-raters around him (ahem) try to match him by sharing their best material. In this way, his journalism not only reflected his own massive intelligence, but best-of gleanings from pundits and preeners in every city he visited.
It makes me sad to think that I will never again be at a table to hear him, as I did in 2008 at Toronto's University Club, hold forth about the mau-mauing of Britney Spears while pausing between bon mots to tell off a hovering waiter who was asking him to put out a cigarette. I didn't realize it at the time — but there, in that single dinner-party moment of casual brilliance and indulgent self-destructiveness, were the two inseparable sides of Christopher Hitchens. RIP to both.

Linux rookie wanting to become pro....
Hi all,
Been using Linux on and off for a year or so and have reached the limit of what I can do without reaching out for the knowledge and expertise of the wider, smarter community.
I'm running Debian "Wheezy" and Gnome 3.4 on my main Laptop which I just changed over to a lovely little Dell Latitude E4300 (4hrs battery with Windows 7 - Test only, now getting just shy of 8hrs with debian :-)) which I'm custom painting (will put pics up if it turns out any good). I've also got a HTPC that I want to get up and running with Linux too, it's got Debian "Wheezy" but loaded XFCE (Which I normally love) but remote desktop sharing is proving to be a pain. Might switch to Gnome until I have it all running right and then have a fiddle.
I enjoy playing with Linux but I really need to take it up a notch, I'm finally memorising terminal commands and places I need to access/look to config but I still don't believe I'm thinking "LINUX" yet
Cheers to all, speak soon

I recently rebuilt my desktop and installed Windows 7 on a fresh hard drive and also kept an older hard drive with just My Music and My Pictures. I dragged and dropped My Music and My Pictures to new internal hard drives; then tried to delete the old folders, but get a "You require permission from S-1-5-21-etc. to make changes to this folder". I right clicked the folder, went to properties,went to Security; and see the S-1-5-21-etc. account; but don't know what to do without messing something up. I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks for your consideration.
Also, if i wanted to Move the folder (not copy..which drag and drop seems to have done) how would i do that from one hard drive to another?
Thanks for helping a newby to Windows 7.

Raincoast's Flagship Projects
Through directed conservation efforts on umbrella species, Raincoast strives to protect all species and ecosystem processes existing along the British Columbia coastline.
We use on-the-ground, peer-reviewed science to further these objectives and more accurately understand the complexities of the coastal ecosystem. By furthering our knowledge base we are better equipped to both influence decision makers and inspire the public in an effort to conserve and protect the wild salmon, herring, grizzly bears, wolves, marine mammals, and marine birds, who make this coast their home.
Wild Salmon
Pacific salmon are an integral component of marine and terrestrial food webs. Our research areas examine salmon as a food source for bears, sea lice transfer to smolts, historic salmon abundance, fisheries models and small streams. We advocate for inclusion of bears in salmon management, reform of fisheries models, removal of open net fish farms, and habitat protection.
Raincoast's Wolf Project combines field work, cutting-edge scientific tools, and traditional ecological knowledge to conduct rigorous research and advocacy on behalf of coastal wolves. Our collaborative effort among Raincoast scientists, the Heiltsuk First Nation, and several universities is creating new knowledge about this globally unique wolf-deer-salmon system.
Marine Birds
The coastal waters of British Columbia support remarkable seabird populations. Marine Bird surveys undertaken between 2005 and 2008 have amassed over 14,000 marine bird sightings with over 70,000 individuals counted and are being used to identify important habitat.
Grizzly Bears
The umbrella species and apex predator, grizzly bears and their habitat in the Great Bear Rainforest represent the southern stronghold of coastal grizzly habitat in North America. Raincoast's vision is to ensure this stronghold and as such, our work addresses declining salmon resources, habitat loss, trophy hunting, POP exposure, and climate change which impact their survival.
Marine Mammals
Recovering from years of exploitation, BC's marine mammals still face threats to their habitat and food supply. In 2008, Raincoast finished five years of surveys of whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals, documenting their abundance in inside waters. We advocate strongly for the conservation and protection of BC marine mammals, in particular the endangered southern resident killer whales.
Pacific Herring
One of the most abundant fish in BC waters, Raincoast scientists are studying the interactions between Pacific Herring and the coastal food web. Studies include the relationships between herring spawn events and the terrestrial mammals who feed upon them.

I am trying to work out a program where it takes a user inputed year and outputs if that year is a leap year or not.
Right now from what I have when I put leap years into the program it reads the output, "It is not a leap year." And when you input a year that is not a leap year it will output nothing and just end the program.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help in advance, looking forward to working through this.
#include <iostream>
int year;
int leap1;
int leap2;
int leap3;
int main()
std::cout << "Enter a year and I will determine if it's a leap year: " ;
std::cin >> year ;
leap1 = year % 4 ;
leap2 = year % 100 ;
leap3 = year % 400 ;
if ( leap1 == 0 )
if ( leap2 != 0 )
if ( leap3 == 0 )
std::cout << "It is a leap year." << '\n' ;
std::cout << "It is not a leap year." << '\n';
return (0);

Gamma Rays at Cygnet Theatre
Lest we be lost in the long black night
Ian Pike 6 a.m., Sept. 21
The Carlsbad Police Department has announced new training classes aimed at the parents of unruly five to ten year-olds, with the hope that early intervention will help deter children from drug abuse or gang violence later in life.
"Loving Solutions" classes, set to run for seven consecutive Thursdays beginning February 28, are facilitated by the department's GUIDE program, which has a stated goal of "educat[ing] young people on self-esteem, positive decision-making, and the dangers of substance abuse and gang involvement."
"This parenting course is designed for parents facing the challenges of strong-willed and/or out of control children," says Penny Velasquez, director of GUIDE.
The class costs $25 for individuals, $35 for couples, and is available free of charge to active duty military parents. Sessions will take place at the Harding Community Center, located at 3096 Harding St. in Carlsbad.
Guess what? Those who should attend will not because of inability or unwillingness to pay, or sheer indifference. Nice idea, but a purely voluntary program will have little effect.

REDEVELOPMENT IS DEAD ---- or so proclaimed Gov. Jerry Brown and legislators last year when they canceled the legal authorization for the six- decade-old urban renewal program and seized its assets to close the state's budget deficit.
Ever since, state and local officials have been dismantling hundreds of local redevelopment agencies and squabbling over payment of their debts and disposition of their assets.
Redevelopment is dead. Long live redevelopment.
The just-concluded 2012 legislative session enacted a batch of bills re-creating it, or something very like it, albeit with new names, several of which are revised versions of "infrastructure financing districts."
Actually, the power for local governments to create IFDs, as they are known, has been on the books for years. The districts could issue bonds to finance improvements and divert some of the "incremental" property tax income from project areas to repay the bonds.
They were infrequently created because they required the approval of two-thirds of local voters, as well as permission by other local governments from which property taxes were diverted. It was much easier to use redevelopment powers, which did not require the IFDs' voter and governmental approvals.
If Brown signs all of the pending IFD bills, including one carried by Assembly Speaker John A. Perez, districts could be created without voter approval and would acquire an expanded list of allowable projects, including some inherited from the now-defunct redevelopment agencies.
They would not, however, be allowed to divert property taxes from school districts, which was a sore point with redevelopment agencies. The state treasury had to make up about $2 billion a year in taxes that the agencies retained, rather than gave to local schools.
Perez's Assembly Bill 2144 renames them as "Infrastructure and Revitalization Financing Districts" and still requires voter approval, reduced to 55 percent, while Senate Bill 214 by Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis, removes voter approval altogether.
Assembly Bill 2551 by Assemblyman Ben Hueso, D-San Diego, authorizes the districts to finance "renewable energy" projects, while Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg's Senate Bill 1156 allows local governments to create Sustainable Communities Investment Authorities, very similar to redevelopment agencies, to promote housing and other projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including manufacturing.
Redevelopment agencies had transmogrified from tools to clean up urban blight and improve housing into vehicles for crony capitalism, pumping subsidies into retail projects, hotels, auto malls, etc., whose developers had political pull.
Would these new agencies, if Brown agrees to create them, be any better from that standpoint? It's very doubtful.

->''"I think that's kind of cruel: I'm smoking and you come up coughing at me. Jesus. You go up to crippled people dancing too?"''
-->-- '''Creator/BillHicks'''
But for some people, any sort of run-in with drugs or alcohol -- in some cases, extended to smoking and even prescription drugs as well -- makes you instantly less of a human being.
These people feel not only that [[UsefulNotes/StraightEdge drugs and alcohol should be avoided]], but that those who don't accept this philosophy are weak, brainwashed, generally ''inferior''. In especially extreme cases, this attitude even applies toward people who have recovered from past problems with drugs, or have [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin only done them once]].
Direct descendant of the DryCrusader and often shares the Dry Crusader's self-righteousness.
Not to be confused with StraightEdgeEvil, although villainous straight-edge characters often fall into this. If too villainous or smug, it's not unheard of for the Smug Straight Edgers to be [[{{hypocrite}} less than sincere in their convictions]], if not an outright StrawHypocrite.
[[folder: Advertising ]]
* [=PSAs=] can get in this territory sometimes. This mainly depends on whether or not TheAggressiveDrugDealer is present or not - if not, chances are the blame will fall on the people doing drugs.
* Anti-tobacco "Truth" [[PublicServiceAnnouncement commercials]] are made of this.
** Creator/DaveBarry mentions a commercial with two little girls so smug it makes you want to inhale a pack of Camels out of spite.
[[folder: Comic Books ]]
* Oliver Queen, the ComicBook/GreenArrow, had a very negative view of drug dealers and users, and like many other BadassNormal, thought himself better than they were for staying straight. Then his sidekick Speedy started doing Heroin. The ensuing confrontation went...badly.
** Later a {{Retcon}} in the ''Green Arrow: Year One'' mini-series gave Oliver some motivation for this attitude, other than misdirected anger at himself for neglecting his sidekick - he had been injured while defending the enslaved population of a tropical island turned drug-farm and the only painkiller available to the woman who treated his wounds was heroin. Ollie just barely survived the withdrawal, which left him wondering how anyone could willingly subject themselves to such an experience.
* Todd Ingram from ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'', who says a big part of committing to veganism is knowing that you're better than most other people. Granted, this is a world where going vegan gives you powerful psychic abilities. He also [[spoiler:[[StrawHypocrite isn't even a real vegan]]]]. Subverted with the other vegans seen though.
[[folder: Film ]]
* One of ''Film/BobRoberts''' songs is titled "Drugs Stink", and contains the lyrics "Drugs stink/They make me sick/Those that sell 'em/And those that do 'em/String 'em up/From the highest tree/Without a trace of sympathy."
* Saruman shows these tendencies in ''Film/TheHobbitAnUnexpectedJourney'', by criticizing Radagast's consumption of [[GRatedDrug mushrooms]]. In ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', he makes similar comments about Gandalf's use of pipeweed. Saruman's a hypocrite since he has a large stash of pipeweed too.
[[folder: Literature ]]
* In Creator/TomClancy's ''Literature/TheHuntForRedOctober'', the Navy doctor is smug about the fact that he doesn't drink, smoke or use caffeine. [[spoiler: It turns out that while he is indeed arrogant about this and is willing to acknowledge that fact, he does make a more nuanced argument against doing so in a hospital when a dumbass KGB agent nearly kills his patient by trying to light a cigarette in a room full of oxygen.]]
* ''Literature/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader'' has the Scrubb family as a satire of this mentality.
[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* There's a smug Straight Edge guy at the quiet mining town in ''Series/{{Skins}}'', who tries to woo Effy. When the crew escape the town, they mock his crossed arms salute.
* The mindset (although not necessarily the movement itself) is parodied in ''Series/BlackBooks''; at one point, a rather uptight looking customer approaches the shabby, chain-smoking [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] Bernard in the shop while he's smoking a cigarette and rather pompously says "You know, I'm inhaling a lot of second hand smoke from you." Bernard nonchalantly responds with: "Don't worry about it, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint buy me a drink sometime.]]"
** In one episode, Fran takes up yoga with a friend who turns out to be the New-Agey version of this, berating Fran for drinking, smoking, eating wheat or meat or chocolate, and hanging out with people who do all of the above. Fran tries to emulate her, briefly turning into a smug straight edge herself, but cracks by the end of the episode and returns to being the dissolute chain-smoker Bernard knows and tolerates.
* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'': Every action someone performs in life gives them either a positive or a negative effect to their total score, which ultimately determines which afterlife they end up in. Eating vegan gives a reasonable bonus... but not bragging about it gives over twenty times as much.
[[folder: Professional Wrestling ]]
* [[Wrestling/MickFoley Cactus Jack]] did a few promos in Wrestling/{{ECW}} bragging about how hardcore he is, and did brag about never using drugs in high school or during his at the time 10-year career.[[note]]Foley admits to pain pills, though [[DentedIron he's not exactly abusing them.]][[/note]]
* Wrestling/CMPunk has this as a catch phrase- "straight edge means I'm better than you" or "drug-free, alcohol-free, and better than you". The opening of his Wrestling/{{R|ing of Honor}}OH\FIP theme, Miseria Cantare - AFI, even had him boasting about his straight edginess. When Punk works heel, he is of this sort and takes every opportunity to gloat about his straight-edge lifestyle.
* [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] in 2012 while not straight edge per se, repeatedly bragged that being a vegan makes him better than everyone, and even mocking people and saying they're eating garbage when they try to eat meat. CM Punk threatened to sue him for [[TheGimmick gimmick infringement]].
[[folder: Stand Up Comedy ]]
* Creator/BillHicks did a bit about the smugness of non-smokers, saying "I'd quit if it wasn't for the fact that I'd become one of you."
[[folder: Visual Novels ]]
* During ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'' [[TeenSuperSpy Yuuya]] takes sleeping pills to access a shared dream, then is injected with psychotropics to [[HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs give him an advantage]]. [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Nishikikouji Tohri]], looking on, is appalled by this behavior and berates [[TheHandler Leone]] for lax morals - after administering the dose Leone asked him to use.
[[folder: Webcomics ]]
* Bort the lapsed Straight Edge from ''Webcomic/NothingNiceToSay'' hasn't abandoned two parts of the straight edge lifestyle; [[http://www.mitchclem.com/nothingnice/120/ taking himself too seriously and beating people up]].
* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'': Peggy (the TeamNormal) describes superpowers as like vegans. "They can't ''wait'' to tell you about it."
-->'''Peggy:''' I generally don't have to ask why someone can't eat out at my favorite tex-mex place with me, or if they just installed solar panels on their house, or that they can shoot laser beams out of their nipples. They will volunteer that information.
[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* On ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', often the villains got involved with drugs ([[DrugsAreBad Yuck! Patooie!]]) and that's why they are messed up. A good example is a former skateboarding champion who's "no good at all" after he tried steroids.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' featured one Rikki Kixx, who runs a rehab movement and fronts a newly clean-and-sober band - it turns out sobriety has been legally and medically forced on him (and the potential loss of PR he'd get if he was caught imbibing doesn't help) and he's determined that everyone else should be as miserable as he is. [[spoiler: The concert he headlined to promote his movement ends ''horribly'', as a little known side effect of a drug his bandmates took in the past kicked in, causing hallucinations in the audience, leading everyone to turn to drugs to cope with them. It doesn't help that his other big name sobriety partner, Dr. Rockso, failed the ColdTurkeysAreEverywhere trope and fell off the wagon. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And Pickles beats the shit out of him.]]]]
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' portrays Creator/RobReiner this way in his crusade against smoking. It also portrays him as a hypocrite, indulging in unhealthy eating habits while lecturing people about how unhealthy smoking is.
[[folder: Real Life ]]
* As noted in the trope description for UsefulNotes/StraightEdge, Straight Edgers can be like this sometimes. In an extreme example, two Straight Edgers actually assaulted another man.
* Creator/MrT is a teetotaler, and prides himself on drinking only kid-friendly milk rather than alcohol.
* ''Winners Don't Use Drugs'' is the name of an anti-drug slogan that was included on all arcade games imported into to North America from 1989 through to the year of 2000. The message appeared during the attract modes of both video games and on some pinball machines. It was established by FBI Director William S. Sessions with an agreement with the American Amusement Machine Association. By law it had to be included on all imported arcade games and continued to appear long after Sessions left office. The quote normally appeared in gold against a blue or black background between the FBI seal and Sessions' name.
* [[Creator/PennAndTeller Penn Jillette]] doesn't object to alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs, in fact, he advocates legalizing them. He also never misses an opportunity to remind people he's never used them. This either comes off as [[UsefulNotes/{{Objectivism}} some grand proclamation of philosophical fortitude]] or just a disclaimer from an opinionated person who's never experienced drugs first hand and does not want to be judged to be someone merely endorsing the legalization of drugs because he himself likes drugs.
* Music/TedNugent has been known to be patronizing towards alcohol and drug abuse. Then again, [[SoapboxSadie knowing Ted and his views and reactions towards supporters of gun control, veganism, and so on]], would you expect anything less?
* Real-world reversal: Crucial Youth were a straight-edge send-up that parodied the movement and regularly gave the audience a good clean with the Youthbrush.
* Inversion: Quite a few of the pro drug group can be equally as smug for 'having seen and experienced things you can never even dream of, being more creative, being more philosophical and generally just being more worldly than you' 'cause they smoked/shot/ate something.
* Major Dick Winters (subject of ''Series/BandOfBrothers'') admits in the book that he thought like this - he didn't drink until the evening of D-Day, and thought that taking a single swallow of liquor would have a noticeable deadening effect on his reflexes and thinking.
* People in Alcoholics Anonymous and similar programs can veer into this.
* The metalcore act Earth Crisis has been banned from many, many, MANY venues over the years for doing things like yanking beer glasses and cigarettes away from people and frequently threatening violence upon anyone who resists, which in turn has resulted in multiple fights and straight-up brawls at their shows thanks to both the band and the [[FanDumb more overtly militant members of their fanbase]].
* While not exclusively straight-edge, FSU ("Friends Stand United", originally "Fuck Shit Up") does have a large amount of straight-edge members, and over the years, they have gone from being a legitimate (if not extremely violent) anti-racist group to one of the most glaring real-life examples of TheQuincyPunk. Harassment and threatening behavior towards people who are drinking, smoking, or engaging in drug usage is commonplace, as are multi-man ambushes and beatdowns on targets who have earned their ire.
* P. J. O'Rourke once quoted an anonymous policeman as saying of drug addicts, "Air should be illegal if they breathe it."
