Garbage. What We Throw Away On The Streets

Last Night's Garbage

"Each day the United States throws awayenough trash to fill 63,000 garbage trucks."—The Cass County Solid Waste Management District

It all began on July 16, 2007, when one man decided he'd had enough. "You can't walk down a single street in New York City without the sight and smell of trash, rubbish, yesterday's news, and last night's garbage," he may have said to himself. "Everyone tosses things away: the fashionable, the leisure class, the chronically thirsty. What we need is the documentarist, a troubadour, perhaps, who can help us regard what we waste and reconsider what we discard in a whole new light. We will never look at last night's garbage in the same way."

Police Videos. Police Car Videos. Collection Of Police Videos

BLUtube

This collection of police video leaves no doubt which side of the blue line it stands on. Police officers have uploaded and commented on most of these clips, and the site is hosted by the law enforcement resource PoliceOne.com. But even the most confirmed skeptic of Joe Friday will find something fascinating in the selection of unvarnished footage—most of it from in-car police cameras—stationed among the local TV reports and musical montages. Watch a man fail a DUI test before it begins, see a lady attempt to wield her womanly ways to avoid arrest, and peek behind the scenes of a a K-9 service dog's training. Finally, don't miss the astounding "Greer Train Collision": one car, one train, and an officer who gets the driver out of her vehicle in the nick of time. There's no audio for the first 1.25 minutes, but it's worth the wait.

Big Brother Is Watching

Big Brother Is Watching

Faces in Places

George Orwell's "1984" forever popularized the phrase, "Big Brother is watching you." This blog believes others are watching you, too, but these commonplace siblings are less judgmental. (At least, we like to think so.) The collaborative collection highlights faces in such unexpected places as a roof, your front door, a hot iron, or even that muffin you had for breakfast. From screaming faces to friendly ones, angry features to those more fowl, visages with crazy eyes or beady peepers, or the vast array of purse faces—there's a mug here for everyone. Still having trouble picking facial features out of the ordinary? A tour through the gallery may illuminate new ways to see food, buildings, transportation, garden tools, everyday gadgets, and familiar things around the house. Even the red jacket zipper fish is much more fun than Big Brother.

Jews Rock

Jewsrock.org

For Jews who like to rock—or just enjoy ethnic parlor games—thank Moshiach for Jewsrock.org. The brainchild of Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg, XM radio executive Allen Goldberg (unrelated, as far as they know), and Washington Post style reporter David Segal, the site is a celebration of Semitic contributions to American rock 'n' roll. But don't let the lolling tongue of Gene Simmons (aka Chaim Witz) scare you. Jewsrock.org isn't all Bar-Mitzvah Boy bluster and tales of groupie glory.

The site's comprehensive Challah Fame is an Aaronson to Zorn compendium of Jewish artists and groups, from the tenuously connected (Courtney Love?) to the wholeheartedly Hebraic (all of J. Geils Band, except J. Geils). It's great ammo for the next time your know-it-all cousin tries to tell you that half the Knack was Jewish. (Wrong! The whole band was—Sharona, too.) Or that Mama Cass choked to death on an unkosher sandwich. (Wrong! It was heart failure that killed Cass, not ham.)

With a Jewish-themed tattoo gallery, a Steely Dan d'var Torah, and close ties to an organization that helps sick children and their families, this site most definitely rocks.

Pretty on the Outside

Pretty on the Outside

What do you do if you find yourself in L.A. with sarcasm raging through your veins and a talent for illustration pulsing in your fingers? Become a celebrity caricaturist, of course! Since November 2006, the artist-slash-blogger behind Pretty on the Outside has churned out hilarious images of some of Hollywood's biggest heads and tiniest bodies. Needless to say, TomKat, Britney, and Posh make appearances. Look quick and you'll spot Rachel Zoe, monster stylist to the super skinny. The anonymous painter behind this site has a true knack for capturing—and skewering—the botoxed, bleached, and famished look parading up and down Melrose Ave. Don't let us give you the impression that it's all mockery and malice, though. This celebri-blogger digs Daniel Craig, has fallen for Milo Ventimiglia of "Heroes," and considers Rihanna not just pretty on the outside, but "perfect."

Two Old Ladies and The Condom

Two Old Ladies and The Condom

Two old lad ies are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain. One o f the old ladies pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking.

Maude: What in the hell is that?

Mabel: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.

Maude: Where did you get it?

Mabel: You can get them at any drugstore.

The next day, Maude hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the p harmacist that she wants a box of condoms.

The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what brand of condom she prefers.

"Doesn't matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel."

The pharmacist fainted.

Sayings of the Jewish Buddhist

Sayings of the Jewish Buddhist

If there is no self, whose arthritis is this?

Be here now.
Be someplace else later.
Is that so complicated?

Drink tea and nourish life;
with the first sip, joy;
with the second sip, satisfaction;
with the third sip, peace;
with the fourth, a Danish.

Wherever you go, there you are.
Your luggage is another story.

Accept misfortune as a blessing.
Do not wish for perfect health, or a life without problems.
What would you talk about?

Zen is not easy.
It takes effort to attain nothingness.
And then what do you have?
Bupkis.

The Tao does not speak.
The Tao does not blame.
The Tao does not take sides.
The Tao has no expectations.
The Tao demands nothing of others.
The Tao is not Jewish.

Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Forget this and attaining Enlightenment will be the least of your problems.

Deep inside you are ten thousand flowers.
Each flower blossoms ten thousand times.
Each blossom has ten thousand petals.
You might want to see a specialist.

Be aware of your body.
Be aware of your perceptions.
Keep in mind that not every physical sensation is a symptom of a
terminal illness.

The Torah says,
Love your neighbor as yourself.
The Buddha says,
There is no self.
So, maybe we're off the hook.

Square Watermelons - Making A Square Watermelon

Square Watermelons

A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerator and the usually round fruit
often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves. Smart Japanese Farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by inserting the melons into square, tempered glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine.

Friendly Guide on Pumpkin Carving and Seed Roasting

Friendly Guide on Pumpkin Carving and Seed Roasting

At first glance, this carving how-to from The Des Moines Register offers a simple, friendly guide on pumpkin carving and seed roasting. It advises you to “pick a pumpkin with an appealing shape.” It drops hints on “transluscent carving” and passes on a few secrets about prolonging the life of your gourd. And it includes a great selection of free, printable templates for jack-o'-lantern images.

But something unexpected lurks. There, among the templates of ghosts and Cheshire cats, among the outlines of goofy faces and gap-toothed leers, you will encounter John Edwards, John McCain, and Barack Obama. Huh? Yes, that’s right: jack-o'-lantern templates of the leading presidential candidates. Want Hillary Clinton glowing on your front stoop, scaring off the neighborhood children? You got it. Prefer a flickering image of Rudy Giuliani to induce a shriek in friends passing by? Look no further. We don’t know who at the Iowa paper thought of including Democrats and Republicans among the roster of ghosts, owls, and witches, but we heartily approve. Halloween just got a little more humorous.
