	Joke of the Day!!!!!	Posted by Leaky on Tuesday, August 26 @ 19:18:40 MST
	viper writes "No Place Like Heaven An old lady dies and goes to heaven. She's chatting it up with St. Peter at the Pearly Gates when all of a sudden she hears the most awful, blood curdling screams. "Don't worry about that," says St. Peter, "It's only someone having the holes put into her shoulder blades for wings." The old lady looks a little uncomfortable but carries on with the conversation. Ten minutes later, there are more blood curdling screams. "Oh my God," says the old lady, "now what is happening?" "Not to worry," says St. Peter, "She's just having her head drilled to fit the halo." "I can't do this," says the old lady, "I'm going to hell." "You can't go there," says St. Peter. "You'll be raped and taken advantage of." "Maybe so," says the old lady, "but I've already got the holes for that.""

	Joke of the Day!!!!!!!!!	Posted by Leaky on Thursday, August 07 @ 13:01:37 MST
	viper writes "Never Question A Drunk I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected: A half-gallon of 2% milk A carton of eggs A quart of orange juice A head of lettuce A 2 lb. can of coffee A 1 lb. package of bacon As I was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind me watched as I placed the items in front of the cashier. While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly stated, ''You must be single''. I was a bit startled by this proclamation, but I was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since I was indeed single. I looked at the six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about my selections that could have tipped off the drunk to my marital status. Curiosity getting the better of me, I said ''Well, you know what, you're absolutely right. But how on earth did you know that?'' The drunk replied, ''Cause you're ugly.'' "

	viper writes "Best Buy to open in-store music centers Monday, July 28th, 2008 at 8:08am EST CHICAGO Hoping to cater to everyone from the garage guitarist to a recording musician, Best Buy Co. Inc. is announcing a massive new initiative that sets aside store space for an array of musical instruments and gear in dozens of sites nationwide. The nation's largest consumer electronics retailer will announce Tuesday that it plans to open as many as 85 of the music centers inside its stores by the end of the year and could add even more locations in the future, executives told The Associated Press. Each site will use about 2,500 square feet of retail space and include roughly 1,000 different products with well-known brand names such as Fender, Gibson, Drum Workshop and Roland. "We're not just extending the shelf space in the store, we're creating a designated area specifically for this experience," said Kevin Balon, the company's vice president of musical instruments. "And we're trying to create an authentic and genuine musical instrument store look and feel inside of Best Buy." The Richfield, Minn.-based retailer _ already an industry leader in sales of everything from digital cameras to video games _ will use its headfirst jump into the $8 billion U.S. musical instrument market to carve out new revenue opportunities as sales of CDs and DVDs slow, experts said. When the rollout is complete, Best Buy _ already considered by many investors to be a global powerhouse in the electronics retailing world _ will become the second-largest instrument seller in the country based on locations. But some observers are cautious about whether the expansion efforts will reap big rewards, particularly as the nation's economy slows and consumers become even more particular about spending hard-earned paychecks. "It's not a high-growth area and it's obviously going to take up a lot of real estate," said Morningstar retail analyst Brady Lemos. Executives declined to comment on how much the company is investing in the project or how much they expect to gain from the store-within-a-store effort. So far, ten sites are already open, including five in California, two in Illinois and two in Minnesota. Best Buy's selection will include everything from accessories _ picks, sheet music and cases _ to high-end basses, guitars, keyboards and DJ equipment. Instruments will be housed in separate rooms and the company also plans to offer group music lessons. Acoustic guitars will sell between $89.99 and $3,200 and drum kits will retail for as much as $5,000. A selection of the offerings will also be available online in early August. "However you want to play, if play means you're just learning and you want to play with a bunch of buddies, or you want to play on stage, we can support any of that," Balon said."

	Sheryl Crow urges preservation of wild mustangs	Posted by Leaky on Sunday, July 06 @ 18:59:28 MST
	viper writes "Sheryl Crow urges preservation of wild mustangs Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 at 12:17pm EST NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sheryl Crow is urging people to get involved in saving America's wild horses. "I think it will be a real shame when we look back and we don't have these incredible species, and I guess my best hope would be that people, individuals, step up at this point and really protect these animals," the 46-year-old Grammy-winning singer says in an upcoming do***entary, "Saving the American Wild Horse." The program airs 9 p.m. EST Monday on the Do*entary Channel. Directed by James Kleinert, it's narrated by Peter Coyote and features Viggo Mortensen. Crow, who lives in Tennessee and owns a wild mustang named Colorado, says the animals are part of American history but are being sacrificed in big business' drive for Western lands. "We're starting to get really, really far away from our heritage and what this country is based on," she says. The do***entary examines the Bureau of Land Management's policies regarding wild horses on public lands and includes interviews with ranchers, historians, animal rights activists, environmentalists and others. "If any of these politicians visited these sites where our indigenous animals are being slaughtered in an inhumane way and being sold for meat, I feel that there would be a different take and a different approach to what's happening," Crow says."

	Website News: George Carlin Dies at 71 Years OLD	Posted by Leaky on Monday, June 23 @ 08:33:19 MST
	By KEITH ST. CLAIR, Associated Press Writer Published June 23, 2008 LOS ANGELES - Acerbic standup comedian and satirist George Carlin, whose staunch defense of free speech in his most famous routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" led to a key Supreme Court ruling on obscenity, has died. Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff Abraham. He had performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas. He was 71. "He was a genius and I will miss him dearly," Jack Burns, who was the other half of a comedy duo with Carlin in the early 1960s, told The Associated Press. Carlin's jokes constantly breached the accepted boundaries of comedy and language, particularly with his routine on the "Seven Words" — all of which are taboo on broadcast TV and radio to this day. When he uttered all seven at a show in Milwaukee in 1972, he was arrested on charges of disturbing the peace, freed on $150 bail and exonerated when a Wisconsin judge dismissed the case, saying it was indecent but citing free speech and the lack of any disturbance. When the words were later played on a New York radio station, they resulted in a 1978 Supreme Court ruling upholding the government's authority to sanction stations for broadcasting offensive language during hours when children might be listening.

	Waterfalls In Manhattan!!!!!!!!!!!!!	Posted by Leaky on Sunday, June 22 @ 11:13:17 MST
	viper writes "NYC getting `Waterfalls' off shore of Manhattan Saturday, June 21st, 2008 at 4:33pm EST NEW YORK If they pay attention to it at all, many people view the water off Manhattan's East Side as a flat, even boring expanse stretching under a series of bridges. Not this summer. When the spigots are turned on this Thursday, four mammoth waterfalls will spring into existence, freestanding cataracts roaring down into the East River and New York Harbor in a multimillion-dollar engineering feat designed by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. "Here in New York, water is everywhere. We take the water for granted," Eliasson said in an interview. "I want to suggest _ now, it's not about the land, now it's about what's between the land." "The New York City Waterfalls" is the city's largest public art project since 2005, when artists Christo and his wife, Jeanne-Claude, adorned 23 miles of Central Park's paths with thousands of saffron drapes. The artificial cascades will be up through Oct. 13. Eliasson, 41, creates indoor weather systems that incorporate elements like temperature, moisture, aroma and light. He's best known for his 2003 tour de force, "The Weather Project," which drew about 2 million people to London's Tate Modern to see a glowing sun "rise" in a gallery _ an effect he created by using a mist machine, mirrors and hundreds of light bulbs. For this project, since there are no cliffs for water to pour over, metal scaffolds provide the framework for each waterfall. A system of pumps carries water up to a trough, where the water will be released in a frothy cascade _ about 35,000 gallons of water every minute for all four falls. The water will be turned on everyday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and illuminated after sunset. The falls will roar off Governors Island in the harbor and into the East River at the Brooklyn base of the Brooklyn Bridge, Pier 35 near the Manhattan Bridge and off the Brooklyn Promenade. The highest will stand 120 feet tall, almost as high as the Statue of Liberty. They will be visible from the Brooklyn and Manhattan waterfronts and from the pedestrian and bike lanes on the Brooklyn Bridge. "My work is ... about the relationship between the waterfalls, the journey around this part of town and the spectator," Eliasson said. "I want people to see something which is personal. I want them to see themselves, essentially. I'm not offended when people say 'This is not art.'" "Waterfalls," which overlaps with the last days of a retrospective of Eliasson's work at New York's Museum of Modern Art, is expected to generate at least $55 million in economic activity for the city. "The project promises to make a big splash in our local economy by attracting thousands of sightseers to town, who will then spend money in our restaurants, hotels and stores," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. Hotels are advertising special packages and tourist agencies are offering bicycle and boat excursions. More than 5 million people saw "Gates," including about 1.5 million out-of-town visitors, pumping about $254 million into the economy. The $15.5 million cost of "Waterfalls" was raised by the Public Art Fund, a private not-for-profit organization. Individuals, foundations and corporations _ including Bloomberg's own media company, Bloomberg LP _ donated $13.5 million, and a state agency picked up the rest of the tab. It's not the first time Eliasson has experimented with water. In his 1993 "Beauty," he produced a rainbow in a Danish gallery by projecting light across a fine mist of water. And for a work called "Green River" in 2000, he poured nontoxic green dye into a river in Stockholm. Children were included in the planning plans for "Waterfalls." The Public Art Fund collaborated with the city's Department of Education to assemble study guides for teachers taking their classes to see the displays. "Children tend to see things very different than grown-ups," Eliasson said, explaining that while adults might see a static landscape in a waterfall, a child may see it as vital and changing. Regardless of age, Eliasson said the goal of his project was to take spectators beyond the two-dimensional postcard image of the New York skyline. "New York is sort of the icon of the modern city. ... It's a city everybody has a view on," he said. "There's something quite challenging about trying to, let's say, shake the image that people have of this city.""

	2008 World Champion's Boston Celtics	Posted by Leaky on Wednesday, June 18 @ 18:52:40 MST
	viper writes "BOSTON -- Kevin Garnett got the cover of the new Wheaties box, Breakfast of Champions edition, which was getting passed around the bowels of the New Garden long before the final buzzer, all thanks to the most laughable score in the history of championship clinchers. Ray Allen took a sharp first-half poke in eye, when he was already playing with the weight of a family crisis on his shoulders, but rebounded by tying one NBA Finals record for hitting triples and breaking another. Paul Pierce? Even on a night when the Boston Celtics might have been able to back up Allen's claim that this team actually has a "Big 15" as opposed to just a supersized trio, with waves of Game 6 heroes lifting the fallen giants of basketball back to a perch they hadn't graced for more than two decades, Pierce still found a way to be the face of it all Tuesday night. The night belonged to Garnett, Allen and even James Posey. A night they'll never forget in Green Land might have belonged most to Rajon Rondo. Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge had a claim, too, when Boston set a new standard for how to finish off the Finals: Celtics 131, Lakers 92. Yet it was Pierce who deservedly swept all nine ballots in the Finals MVP voting. It was Pierce who fittingly clinched possession of two trophies with 17 points, 10 assists and what is believed to be the NBA's first sideline sneak attack and sports-drink shower of a title-winning coach."

	General News: Sure Seem's to be a Lot of Oil in Alaska!!!!!!!	Posted by Leaky on Wednesday, June 11 @ 17:50:48 MST
	viper writes "If Gull Island Didn't Blow Your Mind—This Will! Gull Island just proved what the oil companies have believed for some time. It authenticated the seismographic findings. Seismographic testing has indicated that there is as much crude oil on the North Slope of Alaska as in Saudi Arabia. Since the Gull Island find proved to be seismographically correct, then the other testings are correct also. There are many hundreds of square miles of oil under the North Slope of Alaska. To clarify what I am about to say, let me first re-emphasize that the government permitted the oil companies to drill and prove many sites (subsequently making them cap the wells and keep secret the proof of the finds), but they do not allow them to produce from the wells. This is why I have referred (below) to a number of wells having been drilled (after I left the North Slope). The only production permitted is from the small area of the North Slope..................

	General News: Presidential Campaign	Posted by Leaky on Tuesday, June 10 @ 16:18:28 MST
	With the Presidential campaigns narrowed down to the final 2 who will be our next American Idol. This campaign is slowly beginning to look like the final episodes of American Idol. The annoying woman is gone thankfully, the black man is here to stay, and the British will really make a difference in this campaign. So as we get closer to a new President and say goodbye to a bad president. So bad his approval rating is lower than a newborns IQ. We are now faced with a huge decision. Another Repub;ican endorsed by the current Republican, or The Black Democrat who will more than likely make everything about race. MORE WIC FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS, LARGER AMOUNTS OF FOODSTAMPS, AND GOD only knows what else. Or we could look at the positives. McCain Said something positive??? Obama atleast states that there will be no tax cut for the rich anymore. They will pay the difference. Im all for that! I think its awesome. ***** the rich, unless I am one of em, which I may be after the next lottery drawing. So some controversial things here! Anyone care to share there opinion. Leave a comment or make a post of the forums, and let the arguments begin.
