We're going on vacation tomorrow. Just a few days to relax before the shopping season truly starts. Not that there'll be much of a shopping season this year, but just in case. The hardest part is taking the dogs to their "vacation homes." Since we have four, it's a bit much to ask anyone to watch all of them. So we split them two and two - the Griffs (Golly and Roc) and the Bully Girls (Ceilidh an
Alex Pardee, a long-time fave at ESPVisuals, is releasing a a new book entitled, 'Awful Homesick" in conjunction with Upper Playground later this month. Weighing in at a 100 full-colour pages, hardbound and costing approx. 12 GBP, I'm sure it won't disappoint.This is what Alex had to say:"I have always dreamed of having my own art book. In the early 90's, I bought a small Taschen "HR GIGER" book f

A friendly request for MalaysiaKini; kindly remove those awful words from your web site and online news article as soon as possible.
MalaysiaKini is really good at pissing of Muslims and their latest stupid online news offering is a good example of their pissing-off skills.

Apple's relationship with Intel (NSDQ: INTC) has done wonderful things for both companies. When Apple's engineers were managing the complicated transition from PowerPC chips to Intel silicon, Intel engineers were there to help. No doubt computer buyers are better off for this intermingling of talent.
If only Intel's marketing department engaged with Apple's sales personnel in the same way. Apple

Yesterday was awful! The major reason was because of the heat. 5 of my hamsters died of the heat, and my room was a big mess even without pillows or sheets on the bed...To top it off, the stingy landlord unplugged my broadband while I was at work.

One of the greatest mysteries I’ve ever known was finally solved tonight, in as strange a way possible. I sat down earlier to watch some television, but since the Mets were playing at 10 p.m., there wasn’t all that much I was interested in. So I decided to check the onDemand menu to see what was new. When I went to the HBO section, I pressed the documentary section — and low and behold, there was one simply called “Coma.” The description was very appealing, so I decided to watch the show.And much to my amazement, I knew of one of the coma patients who was being profiled on the show. I’ll get back to that shortly.From 2004 to 2006, I was fortunate to serve as the youth minister at St. Teresa of Avila Parish in Summit. The parish, one of the wealthiest in the Archdiocese of Newar

Volleyball for the past few days were really awful especially on Thursday night because window shopping inside the court had begun once again. It was an insult and I was really disappointed with some people.Anyway, I was totally lack of sleep and my brain was floating. I should not have wasted my time in the first place. Two nights of volleyball again was basically killing myself by taking my time off so that I had to continue with my work till near daylight to shag myself out furthermore.It was difficult to make decisions at times due to too many constraints.

You probably won't hear about this on the mainstream news, but we bring it to you here, nonetheless. Today marks two very sad days in recent American history.On April 19, 1993, the Branch-Davidian compound in Waco, Texas came under fire from the federal government, killing more than 80 people.Two years later, April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.

This graph has been making the rounds of the left-of-center blogosphere the last few days. It purports to show that all elements of American society do better under Democratic Presidents than under Republican Presidents. The clear implication is that the economic intervention of Democrats is a more successful policy than the free market orientation of Republicans.While I don't care one iota about whether Republicans or Democrats are generally better, I do care about free markets. So I want to comment on some major problems with drawing conclusions from this graph.1. There is a significant small sample problem. The statistics relied upon are only from 1948-2005. Since it is attempting to compare Republican Presidents vs. Democrat Presidents, there are in effect only 6 data points covering 3
~Snooper~For those of you that know me or know of me, you will take note that I - and many others - have been saying what Ralph Peters is stating in the following article. For the record, I agree with everything in this article and my past 4000+ posts will bear me out on this.Do not let the title of the article fool you. Several libtard authors in the last day or so have attempted some fairly pathetic Bash Bush memes but have once again, fallen way short.

(+1 for the Tropics girls)
Semi-Pro is the unfunniest comedy since Delta Farce and Will Ferrel's worst movie to date. He plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit wonder who purchases an ABA basketball team, the hapless Flint Tropics. When the ABA commisioner informs Moon that he plans to merge four ABA teams into the NBA (All of the teams except the Flint Tropics were real ABA teams.) and that the Tropics won't be one of them, Moon becomes upset. In a drawn-out boardroom scene, Moon convinces the commissioner to let the teams with the four best records merge. Moon then trades a washing machine for a washed-up point guard called Monix (Woody Harrelson) who gives the Tropics enough "hap" to compete with the rest of the league.
Besides the main story, there's a completely pointless romance between
Waffle House1646 Bells HighwayWalterboro, SC 29488www.wafflehouse.comWhere is it?This is a small restaurant, so finding the toilet isn't difficult. After entering the building, you'll find yourself in the middle of the establishment. Ahead of you is the lunch counter and the grill. To the right is the dining room, filled with its sea of Formica tables and such. To the left is a hallway leading to the bathrooms and storage room.What's it like?This 24-diner chain, found throughout the southeast U.S., has never been one of my favorite places to eat. The food is decidedly greasy, and the menu consists of a lot of items I would not normally eat unless I had to -- notably breakfast foods, which I've never been much of a fan of.

I'm a huge fan of Jane Austen, but I also read more chicklit than is good for my brain. Oh, and I discovered the awesonemess that is Agatha Christie last year, so I've been tearing through every one I can find. (I want to BE Miss Marple. But Poirot can take his mustaches and go somewhere else.) It's embarassing. But I'm not THAT embarassed about it, or I wouldn't have added the nifty little widget on the righthand side where you can see what I'm currently reading. So if you're on GoodReads, add me as a friend. Maybe some of your literacy will rub off on me. If you're not, join. Hopefully having everyone know how mindless I am will convince me to read more thoughful things. Maybe.

Tonight marks another one of those Christmas traditions that we all claim to really enjoy, but if we are honest with ourselves that enjoyment generally only sets in when there is some distance involved and some of the horror has been forgotten.
Tonight marks the night when we head to the local primary school to ‘enjoy’ the Christmas Carols and fair. Sure it is something we will think fondly of into the future when we look back at the photos and marvel and just how cute the toddler was and how previous the six month old appears.
But the truth is slightly different if we are honest with ourselves. Generally an outing such as this results in tantrums, getting overly tired, lots of pouting and the purchasing of garbage that would not normally be considered but because it has Santa on it then it must be good.
And that is just the parents!

Every few years some prominent baby boomer cleans out their attic, finds some anti-war crap they didn't know they still had and yearns for the better days. This time it was Tom Brokaw's turn and his book "1968' which also aired as a special on History Channel recently.
1968 was a time of free love, change, and great upheaval. Free love leads to free hair growth however and nothing is less attractive then women with armpit hair. But the worst is not trimming the hedges, as the kids like to say. The last thing I want to see is what looks like Chewbacca in a leg-lock below the waist. Call me old-fashioned but I am a firm believer in the wood floor or the landing strip thank you very little.
Times like these always bring back fun fashion icons like tie-dyed clothing. The tie dye shirt is a great symbol of how the Boomers screwed Generation X. But man, those seats I got for the Sound Tribe Sector Nine show are killer dude! I'm gonna sit in the parking lot and sell stir fry and b
I write this match report before the game is over, at 83 minutes to be precise! Why is this? Ill tell you; as soon as the second Boro goal went in, the game was over. From the first minute we were awful. Almunia made a mistake coming to meet Aliadiere with Toure in close company. Toure did not need to make a challenge but may have been confused by the rashenss of the keeper. Downing swept home the penalty and we were on the back foot from then on. One would have thought this would kick us into action but it didnt. Just like midweek we failed to create any chances of note and Boro went and got the killer goal on 74 minutes.
So what is wrong all of a sudden? Is it the fact we are in December? The bogey month? Maybe. We have only played one half of real football in this month (away at Villa) and right now we look in trouble. The defence that has been so solid suddenly looks nervous and shaky. For some reason the defence has become
I do not know why I decided to throw away .000000000000001% of my life but I watched ‘Tin Man’, the SciFi Channel’s re-invention of the classic ‘Wizard of Oz’. I also did not know that the writers for the channel must have gone on strike months ago judging by the storyline.

Hundreds of protesters are expected to gather outside the Oxford Union today to demand that the convicted Holocaust denier David Irving and BNP leader Nick Griffin are excluded from a debate on free speech. Trevor Phillips, the chair of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, yesterday branded the invitation a disgrace, and anti-fascism campaigners, who fear members of the far right will also come to the city, claimed the safety of students could be at risk.With the union under pressure to rethink its decision, a senior Tory MP resigned his life membership of the 184-year-old debating society, accusing organisers of "naive publicity seeking". "This is the business of ambitious young wannabes and would-bes who really don't think about the depth of the offence and outrage that these things cause," Julian Lewis, a shadow defence minister, said. "It is a misunderstanding of the concept of free speech and a naive vanity about their ability to confront and defeat people who have been ex

Last night I woke up at about 4am. My right leg was dead asleep from the knee to the toe. I couldn’t move it, couldn’t feel it, had no sensation at all. I hate that.
And then after I moved and rubbed it a bit, I had to go to the bathroom. So I did… and it was awful. It really felt like my leg being asleep, and the rush of blood back into the leg and out of the rest of my body, cause me extreme nausea. I spent the next fifteen minutes alternating between sitting on the toilet with diarrhea, and laying on the floor of the bathroom because I couldn’t stand up. It was awful. It felt a bit like after I give blood… I don’t give blood because when I do, I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck for the next three days. I wish I could give blood, I’ve done it twice, but I feel to miserable afterwards. I think it’s because of my super low blood pressure.
So my entirely uneducated guess was that my low blood pressure lowered even more and caus
Hi everyone – great to be hereI thought, for this introductory post (filed, of course, from a convenient Starbucks), that I’d focus on one of the key themes in The Conscience of a Liberal – the central role of race in understanding both what happened to America over the past 30 years, and its implications for the future.Basically, the book is an attempt to understand two puzzles about what happened to the America I grew up – the broadly middle-class society of the postwar generation.The first puzzle is economic: what happened to the middle class. I argue in the book that a large part of the rise in inequality is political in origin, having to do with the rise of movement conservatism, the cohesive set of people and institutions that has taken over the Republican Party. Maybe we’ll talk more about that in later conversation.The other puzzle is why rising inequality, far from provoking a populist political backlash, has been accompanied by a move to the right: politicians who w
Babies Bad Breath? Fortunately this can be Cured
Baby bad breath is more common than you think. A lot of new parents are quickly alarmed to discover that their precious baby has bad breath and would panic. This is pretty understandable as when we think of babies, we quickly associate it with a sweet smell. So if your infant has bad breath, then there are some things you need to consider.

Envision HD 720p 32-inch LCD-TV: Awful cheap or cheaply awful?: "Envision makes fairly good TVs for not much money. This 32-inch model is about $500 online right now and it has a built-in digital tuner and two HDMI in ports. You can also use it as a video monitor at 1366 x 768 pixels at 60Hz. Your best bet is to pick this up as a second TV in the house as it supports 1080i in but doesn’t display 1080i.

We’re big Dr. Seuss fans in our house. Green Eggs and Ham and Hop on Pop are daily reads. Oh, The Places You’ll Go! sits right next to The Bible on our bookshelf. We love our Dr. Seuss.
Recently, Julia has developed a fascination with the Dr. Seuss book The Lorax.* We borrowed it from the library on Monday and I’ve never seen her react to a book quite like this. We sat down to read it while waiting for dinner to cook. She was so quiet and thoughtful as I read through pages I remembered from my childhood. She didn’t fidget, she didn’t interrupt. She listened intently. When I closed the book and said softly, “Then End,” she opened it back up.
“Read it again.”
And so I read it again and again. We read that book until dinner was ready. While I was getting the food to the table, she was leafing through the pages. After dinner was done, she wanted it one more time. This time, she wanted to talk about it.

Date: July 28, 2007
Full episode: Bowling for Gopher Poop
Summary: It's Tha Mike's birthday on The Awful Show, and he wisely selects my song I'll Get Old And Die to mark the occasion and the serenade himself as he advances toward the treacherous mid-30s.

Why We Must Leave Iraq ASAP: It’s the Only Way to Fight Our Real Enemy By Hank Edson (This Post was published by CommonDreams.org on July 23, 2007: http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/07/23/2697/)The first awful, horrendous truth is we don’t know our own real enemy. It’s not Al Qaeda, it’s not Saddam Hussein, and it’s not terror. None of these pose a threat to the existence of our democracy. Properly managed, Al Qaeda has far less ability to inflict physical injury on Americans than do Americans who misuse hand guns and automatic weapons. In 2005, handguns killed over 30,000 people in America. Even with these deaths, we do not feel our democracy is in danger. The second awful, horrendous truth is that almost all our elected Democratic and Republican leaders incorrectly believe there is no enemy. They do correctly understand that we are not fighting the war in Iraq against an enemy, but rather for a reason—a strategic objective: the control of Mi
Folks who have been reading my recaps of Hell's Kitchen know I've been a huge Julia fan. Huge. It's amazing how this young chef has kept a steady course, suffering humiliation from teammates who brushed her aside, like Tiffany, the first to go, and Bonnie and Melissa, who tried to get rid of her a few episodes back. Chef Ramsay has seen through all their machinations and kept this capable chef on.Granted Julia is on a steep learning curve. She knows how to cook eggs and bacon, and had never heard of creme brulee before, but girlfriend has taste buds and common sense and nerves of steel and can direct people in a kitchen.You go girl.As for Bonnie, why is she still around? How did she survive on a night when she forgot to turn on the gas?Jen is talented but sneaky and unlikeable. She might have the most experience as a chef, and she and Rock should probably be in the finals based on their experience, but I am rooting for Julia. I just adore Cinderella stories.Lest you think I am total

Full episode: The Awful Show, Number 55 Is Alive
Summary: Four 30-something East-Coast refugees from college radio, now saddled with day jobs and domestic responsibilties, get together once a week for a marathon session of irreverent and irrelevant Guy Talk.
Every month, 11,000 (or more) listeners (mostly guys) in the U.S., the U.K., Australia and Japan download the recorded session to iPod, as background music for their school, work, hip-hop and wife-centric lives.
This is The Awful Show, featuring Tha Mike, Joel, Keyz and Nerraux, representing podcasting at its podcasting-ness.
Better not let the wife hear you say that
For the latest episode, the gang features Her Shit Don't Stink, which, I'm pleased to say, strikes a universal chord with guys.
To wit:
Tha Mike: You know, I know a lot of women that think their shit don't stink. I do.
Keyz: Most of them?
Nerraux: That song reminds me of, I wish you could play licensed music a

Have you ever seen weird look people? Their body is small but their breasts are gigantic or, Asian people with Caucasian’s nose. I bet you must very often look such a case like that. Poor them, they are the victims of awful plastic surgery. The purpose of plastic surgery actually to improve outlook appearance, but if you do not be careful, plastic surgery can also brings very strange face or body
I got a good laugh looking through this website. Something Awful says “the Internet makes you stupid”. In a way it’s true. How many times have I been too lazy to think of the meaning of some word, and instead of relying on memory, I Google it.
This website has some funny Photoshopped pictures on their Photoshop Phriday feature, like of children’s books:
Yeah!! Now, that’s telling it like it is!

Britney Spears’ latest attempt to make her buzz-cut meltdown a distant memory - extra long blonde extensions.
The star is working overtime to regain her bombshell image but a close up reveals things are still a little messy for the star.
The joins of her extensions were clearly on show during a visit to tanning salon in Los Angeles, despite efforts to keep them hidden with a headscarf.
Hair don’t: Britney Spears attached extensions to her two-inch long locks
The star has not been see out without a wig or hat since shaving all her hair off earlier this year just before checking into rehab.
Her latest outfit again struck out in the style department, with a disastrous combination of leg warmers, thigh-baring shorts and wedge heels.
Spears is preparing to take to the stage again following her recent lip-syncing efforts at the House of Blues clubs in Southern California and Las Vegas.
The singer tried to keep the joins of her extensions covered with a scarf

“The Republican presidential debate was held tonight in California, and ten candidates took part. Political experts say that the ten Republican candidates represented all races, creeds, and colors of rich white men.” –Conan O’Brien
And on to the quotes.
Giuliani:
“We see only the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. What we don’t see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.”
[ Interruption by someone in the audience. ]
“You have free speech so I can be heard.”
McCain:
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told CNN that that President Bush’s escalation in Iraq is going so well, “General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed humvee.”
Watching my children navigate the hallways of school has brought me back to my own days of algebra and bra snapping. (Or in my case, lack of bra snapping.) I love watching them suffer through the math tests and science quizzes. Er, I mean, nothing pleases me more as a mother than watching my children adeptly handle all that their teachers require of them. Yes, that’s better. He he. There is one major difference between my children and me as a school-aged child. They are decidedly cool, where I was the definition of geek. I was a runt; small and slow to hit puberty, and when I did, I was stuck in the ugly duckling phase while everyone else had already morphed into beautiful swans. I was always out of sync with my peers. I marched to the rhythm of my own invisible drum. Sadly, my drum banged at a different beat than all the others.
My kids, however, rock. And I proudly proclaim this. I have no shame. I beam with pride. Somehow, I managed to give birth to two of the cool kids.
If you watched the movie "Hercules in New York" and thought the stunts in it were awful, you are right. I certainly did, especially that awful scene where Arnold fights with a bear... and you can clearly see the retard under the bear costume. Anyway, just when I thought it couldn't get goofier, one of my online friends, Trevor, sends me a stunt clip from an Indian movie... which is indeed goofier. Here's the clip...Funny as hell, isn't it? Technorati tags: Video, Goofy, Humor, Funny, Movie, Stunt, Horse, Indian, India, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hercules, New York, Humour, ROFL, LMAO, Awful

Hi, I'm Joshua. Usually I'm a pretty good kid but, like many Christian home schooled kids, I sometimes feel the need to rebel. Which is why one time I took drugs with a bunch of devil worshipping gay bikers.

Blizzard, it seems, has recanted their previous statements so adamantly saying they will not bring back the global LFG channel. For those so lazy they refuse to read, it basically says come the next major content patch the global LFG channel will return in World of Warcaft, with a few stipulations. Mainly you have to be using the LFG/LFM system currently in place.
I’m not really against it, in fact, I think it will be a big help in getting groups easier, but it still seems like an artificial fix to a system that wasn’t designed properly in the first place. They give themselves just enough of an out to say they weren’t wrong in the first place about the LFG system but they are willing to work to make it better, when quite frankly they needed to just apologize for a half-done system and redo it, which I can hope from that post is still coming sometime.

I’ve been running Google’s Adsense program on some of the sites that I’m in charge of, and every once in a while I encounter a very insensitive sometimes awful Google Adsense mistakes. The worst Adsense problems usually happen in regard to the Hebrew version, which seems completely out of control with ads running things like "A girl with no sex organs" and other horrible headlines. This week I saw a new Hebrew ad on the Chinese Garden, which is a community site that I run intended for my Chinese-loving Israeli friends. Since the ads are subject focused, most of the ads are about doing business with China or learning Chinese. Here’s the ad :
Now, for those of you not reading Hebrew - this ad is about a company who’s doing quality control in Asia for a few hundred bucks "with everything included". At the beginning of the ad, just next to the TM (Trademark) sign they have a slogan which I think was suppose to be "we’re your eye
