What do cats do when their owners are away? There was one way to find out — "cat cams." Fifty house cats were given collar cameras that took a photo every 15 minutes. The results put a digital dent in some human theories about catnapping. Based on the photos, about 22 percent of the cats' time was spent looking out of windows, 12 percent was used to interact with other family pets and 8 percent was spent climbing on chairs or kitty condos. Just 6 percent of their hours were spent sleeping.

Who was the most glamorous celeb of the day, the best dressed star? The Editors of the Fashion Time Magazine reveal that it was… Kate Hudson, who attended the world premiere of Nine held at the Odeon Leicester Square in London last night and outshined her co-stars Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz.

This one-hour program will celebrate Ms. Boyle's extraordinary journey, from her devout upbringing in a rural Scottish village where she learned to sing in churches and choral societies, to instant international fame after her inspiring performance on "Britain's Got Talent," Simon Cowell's British reality TV competition series.

This is one of the most moving videos I've seen regarding our goverment and its' creation

NOTICE: This article is G-rated; it has nothing to do with female anatomy; it concerns ceramic jugs. The utilitarian form called the "jug" -- basically, a fat bottle with a handle -- was dressed up in colorful glazes early in the North Carolina art pottery era, transforming an everyday object into a work of art.

War photos of U.S. soldiers in Iraq are circulating on the web unlike those you may have seen before. The undated pictures give "Proof of abuse by our troops." Unlike the pictures from Abu-Ghraib with grabbed the attention of the media, these are largely unpublicized due to their sensitive nature. The photos which show our soldiers actively engaged with Iraqi citizens are especially intriguing because they appear to clarify the nature of the relationships between our men and women in uniform and the Middle Eastern people who actually live in the areas occupied by our troops. These are photos you...

Are Zero and Mobama PhotoChopped in this image, just plain dumb, or reciting some new leftist creed like: “I pledge undying love to the United Nations of Globalism and to kill all Republicans wherever they stand, one dominion, over everyone, taking liberty and justice from all"?

TMZ is reporting that Tiger Woods' facial injuries weren't related to his recent auto accident: they were inflicted by his wife who laid a smackdown on him. Tiger's "friend"

Tired of shtick masquerading as talent? The team over at Barely Political spoofs Lady Gaga. Through Lady Gaga the entertainment industry is delivering a powerless caricature. Whatever happened to the voice of the strong woman in rock n' roll? While Lady Gaga is trying so hard like an adolescent teenager to shock her parents, nobody is going to remember her so-called music. Lady Gaga ain't no talent; she's a manufactured product. But in this era of inauthenticity who cares, right? The only thing that really matters these days is that everybody gets paid.

Barack Hussein Obama’s safe-school czar, Kevin Jennings, is sexual left-of-left, per expected. He is now mentoring our Republic’s school systems to the tune of homosexual spread. When an instructor at Concord, Mass. Academy, Jennings set up America’s first ‘gay-straight alliance.’

When I bought my property a few years ago, this oil drum from Standard Oil was at the back of the property. I'll like to find out if it is authentic, and if so, how much it might be worth. I don't know that anyone would want it, but it is an interesting item. The built-in trailer upon which it sits still works. If you can direct me to anyone who might know more about this oil drum, please let me know. Thanks, Tex

Adam Lambert is telecasting that he is an out-o-the-closet kind of person. And he proves it on stage by kissing an onstage male entertainer—impromptu, so who can judge him for doing what his drives tell him what to do?

Emotions run high at a protest over a banner that depicts President Obama as the Joker from Batman. Some call it racist and disrespectful. Others say race has nothing to do with the issue. The image is stirring up quite a bit of controversy. You can see the large sign is displayed outside of Club Velvet, a gentlemen's club in Richmond. The banner led to a protest by the NAACP. The organization says the image is not only an attack on the president, but on all men and people of African descent. "The presence of a black president that has...

This is the philosophical theme the film works tirelessly to promote; when you strip away our contrived institutional divisions, we are all the same, all part of one big happy human family. Survival requires abandoning antiquated paradigms and placing faith in the experts among us to “ensure the continuity of the species.” The paradigm most in the crosshairs of this philosophical apocalypse is Christianity. The eccentric Charlie Frost, a pirate radio host played with slovenly relish by Woody Harellson, demeans the Bible as the least accurate predictor of the end of days among competitors like the Mayan calendar and the...

Okay, I realized when I started uploading these that I had left the stupid camera in the video selection so my pictures aren't that great and most showed up as videos, even though I just wanted still shots. I apologize.

I saw a piece on the news recently which said, in essence, that even if you want to "buy American," there are so few American-made items in the stores that it is almost impossible. Sad, and if you insist on buying the trendy stuff at the mall, probably true. But there is an alternative. All across our land there are artisans, craftsmen, and artists who produce Made-in-America items which are far superior to the brummagem stuff made in China.

Ever wondered what the movie They Live would look like in the time of Obama? You won't have to with this video.

Here's a thing of beauty, a great image to divert your attention from all the talk about our $12 trillion (and growing) deficit. Let's just say Obama's got a leg up on things over in Asia.

We would love it if all the Palin supporters who read this would share this idea with all the Palin forums you go on. It’s something we wish we had thought to do for Hillary Clinton back in 2003 when she did her Living History book tour. It would have given us a major ground support advantage in 2008 that we didn’t have. If you are going to a Palin book signing, don’t just stand there in line quiet by yourself or talking to whomever you came with. Introduce yourself to the other people in line. If you are all...

By Michael P. Tremoglie Tremoglie's Tea Time Blog Hill Street Blues was one of my favorite television programs. I watched it religiously each week. Moreover, it was a favorite of my Philadelphia Police Department colleagues. The characters, the chaos of the district headquarters (called precincts in other cities); the challenges of the bureaucracy and the politicos, all of these resonated with cops. Not since Wambaugh had there been such realism. Yet, there existed in the plots certain themes that were disconcerting. There was a subliminal promotion of a certain philosophy. The most obvious example was that of Lt. Howard Hunter,...

When Jugtown Pottery kicked off the North Carolina art pottery movement in the early 1920s, its owners focused on two lines of ware: traditional lead-glazed "dirt dish" earthenware and new, colorful pieces based on oriental designs. Potters in the surrounding area observed no such strictures; whether by genius or by serendipity, they used colorful art-pottery glazes on anything that went into the kiln, pitchers included. The pitchers sold and, some nine decades later, they still sell.

A year after his historic election, President Barack Obama sought to remind Americans on Wednesday the biggest problems he is grappling with -- from the economy to the war in Afghanistan -- are the legacy of his predecessor, George W. Bush....he said his administration was also confronted with a "financial crisis that threatened to plunge our economy into a Great Depression, the worst that we've seen in generations.""We had record deficits, two wars, frayed alliances around the world," Obama added.He said his administration had acted swiftly to save the economy from "imminent collapse." -(http://in.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idINIndia-43692420091104?sp=true) It seems the Manchild-in-Chief is...

Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch Trashes FOX News Tuesday, November 3, 2009 Jim Hoft Even children’s shows are not safe from the far left. Oscar the Grouch trashed FOX News this week: Big Hollywood reported: Last week, in a re-broadcast of an episode that originally aired two years ago, Oscar starts his own news network, GNN (Grouchy News Network). An irate viewer calls in to berate him that the news is not grouchy enough: “I am changing the channel. From now on I am watching ‘Pox’ News. Now there is a trashy news show.”

McNoughton's response to liberal criticisms of "One Nation Under God." Incredible painting. As you move your cursor over the various images, a brief description is revealed on the side panel.

The maples and other showy trees are done now. The weather has turned dour again and the maple leaves are falling fast. These are pictures taken (mostly) around town near the end of the high season. Most are maples, but there are other trees, including a cherry and a willow oak.

The British Library formally opened it’s landmark photography exhibition Points of View last night at a well-attended private view. The exhibition marks the librarys first ever photographic exhibition. It opens to the public free. At a risk of running out of superlatives Points of View is quite simply the best exhibition that the library has ever put on. It is a large show, but never feels unapproachable. It is well designed and laid out and presents a wealth of the library’s treasures... The poison in the veins: “After the fall of Ceausescu, the country has long delayed the opening of...

Four weeks ago, Big Hollywood posted audio of a conference call in which Obama administration officials asked "grant recipients to plug Barack Obama’s domestic agenda." At least six federal laws and regulations were violated when then–NEA communications director Yosi Sergant and White House Office of Public Engagement deputy director Buffy Wicks tried twisting the arms of artists and arts groups interested in getting federal arts grants to produce government propaganda. To protect the scandal from expanding further, the White House threw Sergant under the bus, denied that they were involved issued new guidelines for the NEA and promised that it...

The world's smallest working model train set has been unveiled – measuring just 1/8th of an inch by 1/4 of an inch. At 1-35200 scale to the real thing, the five-carriage train travels around an oval route including ride through a tunnel. Powered by a standard two-inch-long rotating motor head and carved out of mouldable plastic, the model train cost Mr Smith just over £6 to make. "To get a sense of scale you have to remember that the River Branch project is being built to the scale of 1-220," Mr Smith added. "It has taken up two and a...

We live on the western edge of the Ridge and Valley Province of the Appalachian Mountains, where the landscape is defined by long ridge mountains, with coves nestled in higher elevations and river valleys in the limestone and shale formations below. The Autumn turning of the leaves this year has been slow, giving us a long season of fall color. The images in this article are from the past week.

History comes back to haunt us. Just over 20 years ago, the then British prime minister Margaret Thatcher told Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev: “Britain and western Europe are not interested in the unification of Germany. The words written in the NATO communique may sound different, but disregard them. We do not want the unification of Germany.” She went on to say... About one year after the construction of the wall, Peter Fechter attempted to flee from the GDR together with his friend Helmut Kulbeik. The plan was to hide in a carpenter’s workshop near the wall in Zimmerstrasse and, after...

My whole life prior to 1992 was given solely over wholly to the music industry. From playing the music to that of absolutely following all aspects of the industry and culture as some of you who knew me well know. As Almighty God began to get a hold of me and started to redirect me by His Word, I began to see the evils and vices of the whole music culture and life style. I remember saying to myself - the last day that I played in the last phase of Silent Desire (1986-1992) - I thought to myself... What...

The Fashion Time Magazine’s Best Dressed Of The Day, who could it be? There were many strong candidates embracing old school glamour and chic, but Blake Lively and Hilary Swank sartorially inspired us the Hollywood way. Hilary Swank walked the red carpet in New York for the “Amelia” premiere. The actress stunned — we saw stars — in a blue Vionnet Resort 2010 draped gown. Super!

Scene from One Flew Over a Cuckoo's Nest

Glenn Beck today educated his TV viewers about what Mao Zedong, so admired in the Obama White House, was really like. Beck previously revealed that White House communications director Anita Dunn (shown above) reveres the Chinese Hitler as a political philosopher. Mao, according to Beck, urged communist leaders in East Germany to build the Berlin Wall. Mao was also enthusiastic about executions, child labor, torture, and organized public denunciation sessions for political figures who fell out of favor with him. But in the brief segment, Beck didn't have time to go into detail about Mao. It is known that some...
