Bluegrass great Earl Scruggs dead at 88 (CNN) -- Earl Scruggs, whose distinctive picking style and association with Lester Flatt cemented bluegrass music's place in popular culture, died Wednesday of natural causes at a Nashville hospital, his son Gary Scruggs said. He was 88. "I realize his popularity throughout the world went way beyond just bluegrass and country music," Gary Scruggs told CNN. "It was more than that." For many of a certain age, Scruggs' banjo was part of the soundtrack of an era on "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" -- the theme song from the CBS sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies," which aired on CBS from 1962 to 1971 and for ...

The Southern Poverty Law Center identified 1274 anti-government “Patriot” groups that were active in 2011. Of these groups, 334 were militias, marked with an asterisk, and the remainder includes “common-law” courts, publishers, ministries and citizens’ groups. Generally, Patriot groups define themselves as opposed to the “New World Order,” engage in groundless conspiracy theorizing, or advocate or adhere to extreme antigovernment doctrines. Listing here does not imply that the groups themselves advocate or engage in violence or other criminal activities, or are racist. The list was compiled from field reports, Patriot publications, the Internet, law ...

Germany's Local says learn Deutsch - ward off dementia

Ex-pats in Germany who are putting off language lessons have just been handed another reason to dive in and learn Deutsch - speaking a second language keeps dementia symptoms at bay, scientists say. Daily newspaper Die Welt reported on Friday that years of speaking two or more languages can have a physical effect on the brain, as years of stashing extra vocabulary increases memory. As the brain ages, the capacity developed to think in another language means it can call on its increased memory-bank to stem the onset of mentally degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. While it may seem daunting, learning German could hold back dementia symptoms for three to four years in an ...

Keith Olbermann has been fired by Current TV and has been replaced by Eliot Spitzer, previously of CNN. Olbermann's tenure at Current lasted less than a year. Previously he had been employed at MSNBC, where his "Countdown" program ran for eight years. In 2011, Olbermann left MSNBC for Current, but apparently things weren't going so smoothly. Current founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt released a statement that reads: We created Current to give voice to those Americans who refuse to rely on corporate-controlled media and are seeking an authentic progressive outlet. We are more committed to those goals today than ever before. Current was also founded on the values of respect, ...

Undercover Democrat shill Gatlin trying to sell no inflation argument but surprisingly, LP's big government Republican base isn't buying it. How long will it take for them to flip-flop once their big government party takes control and continues on with the 2-party fraud agenda?

DON'T BE EMBARRASSED IF ITS NOT SO HIGH. NOT MANY PEOPLE SCORE MORE THAN 5. Go ahead you know you want to try it, if you get over 20 please let me know..... A Think Test

As many of you know christine began to take dancing seriously app. one year ago. With a lot of encouragement from her friends in the dance community she was nudged into a formal competition. This past weekend she competed for the first time ever at the annual Ft. Worth "Texas Hoe-Down." She danced Saturday and today she learned that her performances in four dances earned her four GOLD FINISHES, one came “with honors.” I found the results online. I’d expect her to be home tonight or tomorrow, but all in all she made quite a statement to the dance community of Texas. Well done christine, and may this be the start of a new chapter in your life!

#2. To: out damned spot (#0) Waiting for the conservative freak out in 3...2...1... But seriously, what's the big deal. Like it's somehow impossible for a person of Islamic faith to work as an agent to fight militant Islamic terrorist groups. Muslims aren't robots you know. If I was an FBI agent, I'm sure I'd be able to go after an abortionist-killer. FresnoGrifter posted on 2012-03-25 13:28:20 ET Reply Trace

How Germans are turning to dumpsters for dinner

‘Bin diving’ is no longer only a last resort for the homeless or a statement made by the politically idealistic - it is going mainstream. We sent our foodie reporter Jessica Ware to dive head first into some of Berlin's smellier bins. Germans each chuck out 82 kilos of food a year - Society (13 Mar 12) I like, nay, love food, but despite the best of intentions I regularly find myself not just scraping decaying leftovers from the bottom shelf of the fridge, but binning ripe bananas or slightly separated yoghurt merely because they’re a bit gross. So when we at The Local reported that Germans were throwing away over 11 million tons of food a year, I began to realise ...
Globe-trotting gnome grades gravity

A globe-trotting gnome has been sent to the far corners of the earth by a German company trying to show that the force of gravity varies depending on where you are. Kern, the gnome, is named after the company paying his travel bills - a scales manufacturer in Baden-Württemberg. He was first sent off last October and has already been to the South Pole, Australia and Japan, as well as stop-offs in Africa and South America. Photos of the plastic gnome at these exotic spots have been posted on Kern's blog, The Gnome Experiment, alongside the results of his weigh-ins. The various weights show the different pull gravity exerts, depending on where Kern the gnome is weighed. “I ...

Poster Comment:This is hilarious and per the description below starting at about the 2-min mark. Found this link here http://www.reddit.com/r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut/ I loved the subtitle; High speed chase requires 30 - 50 cops to take one guy down. What a waste of resources. What about the other emergencies in the area? The cops come out like ants from the helicopter view. It’s crazy.

World's Largest Digging Machine (or wouldn't you like one of these babies in your garden shed?) This is the largest digging machine (or trencher or rotating shovel) in the world. It was built by Krupp and is shown here crossing a road in Germany on the way to its destination, an open air coal mine. Although at the mine the treads are unnecessary, it was cheaper to make the machine self-propelled than to try and move it with conventional hauling equipment. Some factoids: •The machine is 95 meters high and 215 meters long (almost 2.5 football fields in length) •Weight is 45,500 tons (that's equivalent to a bumper to bumper line of jeeps 80 miles long) •It took 5 ...

The plane leaves Heathrow Airport under the control of a Jewish captain; his co-pilot is Chinese. It's the first time they've flown together and an awkward silence between the two seems to indicate a mutual dislike. Once they reach cruising altitude, the Jewish captain activates the auto-pilot, leans back in his seat, and mutters, 'I don't like Chinese..' 'No rike Chinese?' asks the co-pilot, 'why not?' 'You people bombed Pearl Harbor , that's why!' 'No, no', the co-pilot protests, 'Chinese not bomb Peahl Hahbah! That Japanese, not Chinese.' Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese....doesn't matter, you're all alike!' ...
