Pet pig puts wind up family as farting prompts gas leak fears.  News.com.au.

A PORTLY pig with flatulence triggered a minor emergency near Bendigo this week when smells wafting from the 120kg porker sparked fears of a potentially dangerous gas leak.

Two Country Fire Authority tankers and 15 firefighters turned out in darkness to search the source of the leak at a property at Axedale, east of Bendigo. But the likely culprit was soon sniffed out, the pet sow startled from slumber in the dead of night.

She is believed to be a friendly and docile animal, a much loved children’s pet, possibly in need of a change of diet.

Flatulence sufficient to rouse emergency crews from their slumber.  Bet they were excited.

You don’t have the time or the resources to evaluate every applicant who strolls in. to guide your work, you should develop a profile of your “ideal” candidate. You may never find your ideal, but you will establish a basic framework that outlines the person you are looking for.

Developing an ideal candidate profile is similar to viewing a lineup of suspects after you’ve witnessed a bank robbery. The individual you pick out may not be the actual bank robber, but chances are the real criminal is strongly similar. Often, a lineup helps police establish the silhouette or basic framework of the person being sought. The police is clear even if the details are not. Likewise, your ideal candidate profile will give you a sharper idea of what you are really looking for, so that you can increase your odds of finding him or her.

Use the following outline to develop of profile of your ideal candidate:

1. Must have, or have done, or be able to do:
   • Experience: type and years
   • Industry: type, or specific companies, and years
   • Skills or talents
   • Education

1. Should have, or have done, or be able to do:
   • Experience: type and years
   • Industry: type, or specific companies, and years
   • Education

1. Would be nice to have, or have done, or be able to do:
   • Experience: type and years
   • Industry: type, or specific companies, and years
   • Skills or talents
   • Education

Be specific when you draft your outline. If you want someone with strong follow-up skills, say so. If you want an assertive person who can handle high stress, say so. To create a good match between job and candidate, you need to define the person as closely as you define the job.

Keep your company culture in mind, too. If your company is team-oriented and flexible, you want a candidate who is comfortable with teamwork—and not everyone is. If your department is highly structured, you want someone who works well in a structured situation. Describe the qualities that your company values so that you can find compatible candidates.

Just remember that defining the candidate is a lot like shopping for groceries: the more you toss into your shopping cart, the more you’ll pay. The cost of filling a job is influenced by two factors: how long it takes to find the candidate, and the supply of qualified candidates. The greater the number of must have items on your list, the longer it’s going to take to find that person. The greater the experience, skills, or education requirements, the smaller the supply of candidates and the larger the compensation package required to hire the person.

Ο γάμος είναι η ένωση δύο ανθρώπων που υποτίθεται ότι κρατάει, θα κρατήσει… ” ώσπου ο θάνατος να μας χωρίσει”.  Μερικοί αυτό το εννοούν από την πρώτη στιγμή κυριολεκτικά αφού επιλέγουν να κάνουν το γάμο τους σε νεκροταφεία, ντυμένοι βρυκόλακες, φτιάχνοντας τούρτα σκελετό, υιοθετώντας  gothic style. Οι πιο σεμνοί ανατρέχουν στην ιστορία ή διαλέγουν ως θέμα παραμύθια.  Διαφορετική άποψη; εκκεντρισμός; θέλουν να ξεχωρίσουν;  Εικόνες που μιλάνε από μόνες τους.

In an emergency, the inattentive or inebriated  may fall prey and mistake the following urinal for the genuine version.   There is always the joker who may use it for kicks.

The giveaway: always check if the drain is connected appropriately.

By simply looking at this image, you have just uninvited yourself from any and all Thanksgiving parties today. Sorry. Try again next year.

Inkulkation.

I hereby challenge rockwash to go out and get one of these trowel tattoos.  Or be like Brad and get the coveted Ötzi tattoo.  Or check here for more science tattoo inspiration.  (Ötzi really did have tattoos, BTW).

Does anyone remember this show?

If you were born in the mid to late 80s and raised in the 90s, you should be able to remember Xuxa … the “childrens” show with the weird Brazillian lady who used to pose for Playboy. The show used to come on in the late afternoons and was on air for only one year. The plug was pulled on the show because parents complained about how she was dressed and the fact that she used to put on red lipstick and kiss little boys on the cheek at the end of the show. That ’s how they get down in South America!

After the Mustang Forest… we got the Mustang Ranch, and it can be yours for $700.000 (well if it ain’t sold already that is).

It’s a shame to see such a collection of fine cars rot away, anyway here’s the story on how it was discovered by a reader of Jalopnik:

“I have just returned from a vacation somewhere tropical. On the way back form a day excursion I chose an alternate way back to the highway. Ok, I made wrong turn somewhere and rolled with it. This "scenic route" brought us upon what was recorded by these images. It was my wife who first saw them. "Oh look, Mustangs!" I turned my head in time to see a metric shitload of vintage ponies. I immediately turned around and pulled into the driveway. There was a gentleman in the yard who turned out to be the caretaker for the owner of the house/treasure trove. It turns out that the guy who collected all these cars recently succumbed to cancer and his wife wants all these pretty ponies sold en masse for what is by local standards the princely sum of $700 large (I think there plenty of room for negotiation here).”

Kitty Cup

Originally uploaded by DiemNoir

So last Saturday night was my 25th birthday (11/21) and I went to Benihana with a few friends and I got a free meal. Along with my meal, I paid $7 (with free refills) for this lovely kitty shaped mug. It’s weird, quirky and a novelty … I HAD to have it. It’s not your conventional mug because you have to stick a straw in the little hole in his neck … and yes, it looks like a tracheostomy tube … that you’re drinking from. How sick is that?

While it’s not Hello Kitty, I’ve come to enjoy this weird looking mug, cup, whatever you want to call it. Gotta looooove China!

Between 1996 and 1998 I put down a few songs in a rather spur of the moment on my 4-track recorder. Lyrics were made up basically on the spot while the tape was rolling. The sounds are pretty lo-fi and the clanging of metal in some of the songs were spoons, pots and pans that made up our primitive percussion. Jim Seagroves helped out on the racket kitchen percussion sounds as well as general chanting or making a nuisance out of everything.

Back then Jim and I called ourselves “the Gidds”. Basically, it was our little gang name growing up. We listened to NWA in high school and wanted to be white thugs. We had our own language and mockerized the neighborhood. Some of the songs we speak in German.

I play the acoustic and electric guitar, sitar and sing the songs. My brother Bob Guittard played bass and guitar on a few tracks as well as beat on a hand drum. Warren Barry played the organ on Once Around the Moon as well as added to the weirdness.

I used a Dr. Groove Drum machine. I hope you like these weird songs. At the time of the recording I was listening to a lot of Beck’s Odelay. Please enjoy and make comments.

Here is the link where you can listen and download the album for free:

I wish Word Press would allow a widget here so that you could listen. Not at this time.

So tomorrow is Turkey Day! I’ve decided to give ya’ll (I love using that and I don’t know why) a special find for the week. It was going to be Thanksgiving themed (still is) but I couldn’t find a true youtube video of the debut, so instead you get this pic:

That’s right it’s the Gobbledy Gooker! The Gooker debuted back in 1990 when the WWE (yes I watch wrestling) was still the WWF, and way too themed for children. So back then we had to suffer through many a cartoonish thing. In November the wwe has its Survivor Series PPV and in 1990 the weeks leading up to it were filled with teases of a giant egg. What could be in it? Finally the big day happened and the Gooker popped out to a rousing lethargic reception. Critics and fans hated it and sadly (ha!) the Gooker was short lived. Here is one of your finds a short clip of the ever crazy Bushwackers with the Gobbledy Gooker.

Side note: The Bushwackers were a great example of the WWF’s cartoonish nature then. They were goofy, barley understandable people who licked each other’s head. They started out as the Sheepherders elsewhere and were one of the bloodiest and most violent teams ever. I know you were all very interested to know that…..I’ve lost all 5 of my readers haven’t I?

Anyhizzle here is the scary clip:

Now enjoy the rest of your day orTurkatron will come get you!

and you don’t want to mess with him. A short clip of his hilarity here (ignore the message at the end)

Ok, here are two strange things:

1.  I saw a whole flock of long-tailed tits in Gordon Square Gardens.  These little birds are supposed to reside mostly in forests, and conifer forests at that, though – my bird guide says – they will venture into suburban gardens at times.  Excuse me?  Since when is Bloomsbury a suburban garden or a conifer forest?

I then heard what sounded like a parakeet – not the full-on squawk they do, but something more like that wittering you might hear from them if they’re a bit bothered.  I looked up to see a crow attacking a bird with a long, sharply squared-off tail.  Only saw the underside, which was pale.  Could’ve been a kestrel, maybe, or some other raptor – there have been sightings around Senate House, I think – so, was hard to be sure. 

Anyway, how delightfully ridiculous.  The Wild invading the City.

2.  Not so delightful.  A young woman handing out leaflets, the gusset of her shiny tights halfway down her thighs, which wouldn’t matter, except that she was wearing a t-shirt that ended mid-hip length a la Lady Ga Ga.  Oh dear.  Ga ga indeed.
