    I hate fish tanks, except this one

    I dislike the work and hardships that come with fish tanks. Not only the dead fish who wash up to the top, but the endless cleaning.. endless power eating.. endless work. But I would make a sacrifice, as would my wife and son, if we could get this amazing fish tank: The work they put into it was tough. So tough I wouldn’t do it. But I’d buy it.. The video here:…

    The work they put into it was tough.
    So tough I wouldn’t do it.
    But I’d buy it..

    So you think it’s worth the effort to keep clean?

  • TACKY HALLOWEEN DECOR CREATES GLOBAL STIR

    TACKY HALLOWEEN DECOR CREATES GLOBAL STIR

    Some people have inflatable monsters that annoy neighbors for seasonal decor.. others showcase brutal scenes of torture and death and get worldwide news attention. Such is the case at two venues in the United States, one in Ohio and one in New Jersey. Both have attracted worldwide media, a UK DAILY MAIL pictorial, and days worth of attention on the Drudge Report.

    The front yard of a house in Butler New Jersey features an ‘anti-ISIS’ Halloween theme. Complete with blood, gore, images of torture, and the President with a bloody machete.. From the DAILY MAIL report,

    A family in New Jersey have upset some in the community of Butler for decorating their home with what they say is an ‘anti-ISIS‘ theme, using a hanging mannequin representing a United States soldier and a terrorist standing nearby wearing a mask of President Obama and brandishing a machete.

    Behind the scene is a depiction of Jordanian pilot, Lt. Muath al-Kasaesbeh in a cage. He was horrifically burned alive by ISIS after being captured following the shooting down of his jet fighter earlier this year.

    And yes there are pictures:

    Too much?: This front yard in Butler, New Jersey, is using Halloween to take a stand against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and it's upsetting the community 

    The most intense part of the gruesome display is what appears to be a US soldier, wrapped in an American flag, hanging from the front tree with a plastic bag around the head 

    Not to be outdone!!
    In comes Ohio with more dramatic blood.

    Again from the DAILY MAIL:

    A front yard in Ohio is upsetting just as many for the gruesome fake corpses strewn all over. 

    Even though Halloween is more than three weeks away, the yard – in Parma – already contains a cocooned corpse hanging from a tree, a body impaled on a stake and a cadaver upside down on a cross.

    Undoubtedly Halloween is the time for scares and horror… other worldly ambitions, too.
    But tacky, tacky tacky is the only way to describe the scenes of macabre murder in front yards.

    Gone too far?
    Or just art being art. Freedom of expression indeed. But should you self-regulate your senses before dropping scenery like this?

    There’s stories like this every year.
    And every town has one of “those neighbors.”

    Oregon shooting detailed by ‘lucky’ student

    The ASSOCIATED PRESS reports,

    The 18-year-old college student singled out by the shooter as the “lucky one” to survive and deliver a package to law enforcement has told his story for the first time about the massacre in Roseburg, Ore.

    In a written statement that was the most detailed account thus far of the Oct. 1 shooting, Mathew Downing said Friday that when Christopher Harper-Mercer entered the Umpqua Community College classroom, Downing’s ears were ringing from shots already fired, and he thought what was happening “couldn’t be real.”

    MORE//

    He said the first thing the shooter did was put his backpack on the front desk and pull out an envelope, saying: “There is a flash drive in this and whoever survives this should give it to the police.”

    Downing’s account of what came next coincides with relatives of survivors who previously reported that Harper-Mercer looked at Downing and said, “Hey, kid with the glasses, you are the lucky one. I will not shoot you if you give this to the cops.”

    Downing said he stood up then, and the shooter pointed a gun at him. “This is the moment I thought I was going to die,” Downing said.

    Instead, the shooter paused for a moment, Downing said, and handed him the envelope. Next, the shooter told Downing to sit in the very back seat and face him.

    Downing did so and said at that point Harper-Mercer fired into the center of the room and began asking students one by one if they were religious. The shooter fired at one student who said he was Christian and another who said she was Catholic.

    The report goes on,

    The shooter reloaded two handguns with ammunition from his backpack during the killings, Downing said. Harper-Mercer was “firing on people who were just lying there,” Downing said.

    Downing also said the shooter seemed to lose interest when a woman told him she couldn’t move her legs to stand up because of the pain.

    He turned to another woman, telling her to stand, and she picked up a desk to defend herself, Downing said. Harper-Mercer fired at her anyway, hitting her in the leg.

    When the shooter noticed police, he leaned out a window and fired at them. Downing also wrote that after Harper-Mercer was hit by police gunfire, he lay down on the floor and shot himself in the head.

    MONSANTO job slash: GMO vault drying

    The AP wire reports, Monsanto Co. said last week it will eliminate 2,600 jobs as part of a cost-saving plan designed to deal with falling sales of its biotech seeds and herbicides, which pushed its quarterly losses deeper into the red. The job cuts will reduce the company’s 22,500-employee workforce of by about 12 percent over the next two years.   That news was greeted with mixed reaction in…

    The AP wire reports,

    Monsanto Co. said last week it will eliminate 2,600 jobs as part of a cost-saving plan designed to deal with falling sales of its biotech seeds and herbicides, which pushed its quarterly losses deeper into the red.

    The job cuts will reduce the company’s 22,500-employee workforce of by about 12 percent over the next two years.

     

    That news was greeted with mixed reaction in media, but stocks sunk lower on the news before American markets closed last week.

    According to analysts, the stock price for Monsanto has dropped 25% since the spring growing season.

    Negative reviews. People who studied Vietnam’s history and chemical warfare makers.. And a sudden burst of anti-GMO into the marketplace have created the perfect storm. Not to mention other countries where farmers are angrily voting against Monsanto products.

    Pesticides too..

    Is Monsanto Roundup-ready?

    Bette Midler suddenly becomes the anti-Bieber ‘hero’

    The house of pop culture insanity is being blown wide open by none other than advanced star Bette Midler.. Her words have come on the heels of a strange tweet that Justin Bieber’s father–for some reason–decided to post about his own son’s penis picture flap, not fap, that took place this week..

    Background first: Beeb’s DAD, presumably now infected with the fever, Tweeted,

    “”@justinbieber what do you feed that thing,  #proud daddy” ..

    As sickening as it is..he did it.  Afterwards, even gossip rags shuttered in a collective grossed out sigh.

    Enter Bette:

    @justinbieber dad tweeted he’s proud of his son’s penis size. I think the biggest dick in this situation is the dad who abandoned his son.”

    Ouch.
    So sayseth the Midler, so she becomes the hero.

    And the wind beneath’s Justin’s genitalia ..
