The Scared Is Spread
I have a video to share with you:
[vimeo 58659769]If you haven't seen it, take the eight minutes to watch & enjoy. But there's a good chance you've seen it, as it's been viewed over 72,000 times (and counting) in the three days it's been online. It's been written about on Buzzfeed, Jezebel, CBS News, CBC, Yahoo!, Mashable, and many other blogs & Tumblrs, not to mention hundreds of Facebook shares. In short, it has become spreadable, the term that Henry Jenkins, Sam Ford & Joshua Green offer as an alternative, more active concept than "viral."
My perspective on this video is unique, as it was made by my student Bianca Giaever as her final project at Middlebury before graduating last week, and I was the project's adviser. Middlebury has a Winter Term every January where students enroll in a single intensive course or do an independent project, and Bianca approached me to make a video over the month. I've known Bianca for a few years, teaching her in class and helping to guide her independent-designed major in Narrative Studies, The bulk of her creative background was in audio production for radio, and oral storytelling in creating a Middlebury branch of The Moth live storytelling performances. In the fall semester, she made "Holy Cow Lisa," an excellent project in her Video Production course that took an audio interview and "visualized" it through creative & playful video footage. She wanted to see if she could make another project in that vein as a kind-of "proof of concept" that illustrated audio stories could work as a format – the result was "The Scared Is Scared." Consider the concept proven!
One of the very best parts of my job is helping facilitate my students' creativity. Although I'm scholar by training and practice, Middlebury's Film & Media Culture is a hybrid department mixing critical studies and hands-on creative work. I occasionally teach courses that are creative in focus, often mix creative projects into critical studies courses, and regularly advise students' creative projects in video production, screenwriting, or other media. I love to listen to a student's ideas, give them some feedback to push them forward or offer a critical perspective, and then get out of the way to let them create something.
In the case of "The Scared is Scared," I feel particularly invested in the project because I saw it develop from nothing to a spreadable hit over the course of a single month. A project adviser's role can be quite variable, but if things are working well, an adviser's contributions are necessary but insufficient aspects of the final product – in this case, it was definitely true, as I introduced Bianca to Asa, the video's storyteller and my son's friend. Without that necessary introduction (as well as giving Bianca the water wings that Toby Mouse wears), the video would not be what it was – but obviously the journey from that introduction to the final work was all due to Bianca, Asa, and their many collaborators. Throughout the month, my role was primarily to assure Bianca that there was potential in her ideas and that the audio and video she was putting together was excellent – in fact, she quoted me saying "This might work" as the blurb for the video's poster around campus!
So I've watched the video spread (up to 78,000 views in the time it took me to write this post!) and receive glowing acclaim with the pride of a coach & teacher (and a little bit of the ownership you feel at the wedding of two people you introduced!). I also watch it spread from the meta-perspective of a scholar of digital media, which raises numerous questions. What does it mean to traditional educational hierarchies to have a student's work seen & enjoyed by thousands of people? Does spreadability matter when assessing and grading students' work? Should we encourage students to seek spreadability as a goal, or just facilitate it as a potential byproduct of creative success? How do such accomplishments impact the reputation of the department and potentially benefit other students' opportunities? And most immediately, how will this success help Bianca make a living after Middlebury? (Please contact her if you have any answers to the last one.) I have no answers to these questions yet, but they point to some of the new dimensions of teaching film and video that I would not have anticipated mattering when I arrived at Middlebury ten years ago.
But in the meantime, I'll just enjoy watching the video and its rippling wake, and relish in my own favorite moment: the way Asa says the word "merengues."

In the wake of your student's massively successful project (which it was even before it went viral), I wonder about the relationship between our teaching and our students' desire to strive for greatness. Put another way: what else could I be doing to facilitate such creativity?
I have had exceptional students do exceptional work, which I guess is why they call it exceptional. But I get frustrated by what often seems to be students' absolute satisfaction with "good enough," with their lack of interest in even striving for greatness or, perhaps, their simple inability to imagine themselves as doing great things. Work like Bianca's really throws that into relief.
My college is less selective than Middlebury, but I don't believe it's them individually (though I do suspect that it's partially them collectively–they work and learn and live in a local student culture that still prioritizes social relations strongly over academic, creative, or social achievement, and that exerts a powerful dampening force on their ambition). Providing encouragement, examples, and exhortation doesn't, in itself, break through the "good enough" mindset, so what might?
Not expecting you to have answers, just struggling with the question …
Utterly delightful. Thanks for sharing that.
Wow. Congrats to Bianca and everyone involved. But I don't know, Jason, I don't think the term "spreadable" is likely to spread. Agreed, "going viral" has a negative connotation, but it also has the virtue of being an ACTION with a rebellious feel to it — unlike the passive "spreadable," which sounds more like marketing for a cheese-product. And what content isn't spreadable, i.e., CAPABLE of being spread? No, if we want to replace going viral, I think we've got to keep looking. A job for the Middlebury think-tank?
What a delightful video and nice context-setting, Jason. The one aspect I would love for you to comment on is the way in which this hybrid approach to your program is viewed in other parts of your college, and particularly by your faculty colleagues. I can guess what students at your college think, but what about the faculty when it comes to your facilitating your students' creative talents after, I presume, you have provided a foundation for their work. If I understand your comments, Bianca is exceptional, but I wonder how much your department's and college's curriculum prepared her for this beautiful artistic expression. Do other departments offer what your do in terms of facilitating your students' expression of their creativity? Are these "hand on creative work" opportunities, as you call them common across the humanities at Middlebury? Can classicists studying the Illiad and Odyssey conclude their studies with a creative video or other project? Or in philosophy, literature, or other areas? Or, is this more just part of the student culture in general, or a "one off" in the form of Bianca?
Interested to know and perhaps to visit your campus. I teach at a selective liberal arts college, too, but we, as a faculty, are pretty straight-laced and traditional, and I doubt this project would be viewed by most of my faculty colleagues, as good as it is, as the kind of culminating senior work experience as the more traditional thesis, essay, or performance. How does one move the culture at institutions bound up in historical tradition, unable to innovate?

Hello Lumber jocks, This is a bird skull carved from a salvaged cedar burl, it was dug out of the ground by some machinery and I was lucky to spot on top of a huge burn pile it looked like a muddy nugget. From being burred for so long it soaked up some great colors. One day I looked at it the rite way and thought that might work for that big bird skull I wanted to carve and boy did it, my friend and I had a good time getting some sweet shots of it too. If you guys get a chance I'm always posting interesting stuff on www.facebook.com/jeffrouitto
Cheers and a happy new year full of sawdust

The Plump Beauty Ideal: Exotic Dancers in 1890
Once upon a time "plump" was the beauty ideal.
Check out this post by Lisa Wade @ Sociological Images
I recently had the pleasure of reading Peter Stearns' Fat History: Bodies and Beauty in the Modern West. The book chronicles the shift in American history from a plump to a thin ideal. The beauty of Stearns' book is his resistance to reducing the shift in norms to a simple cause. Instead, he traces the changes to conflicts between capitalism and religion, the backlash against women's equality, industrialization and the devaluation of maternal roles, fashion trends, the professionalization of medicine, our cultural relationship to food, and more.
Stearns is quite specific in timing the change, however, pointing to the years between 1890 and 1910. In these 20 years, he writes:
…middle-class America began its ongoing battle aginst body fat. Never previously an item of systemic public concern, dieting or guilt about not dieting became an increasing staple of private life, along with a surprisingly strong current of disgust directed against people labeled obese.
I thought of Stearns' book when I came across a delightful collection of photographs of exotic dancers taken in 1890, the year he pinpoints as the beginning of the shift to thinness. From a contemporary perspective, they would likely be judged as "too fat," but their plumpness was exactly what made these dancers so desirable at the time.

However, what made plump appealing in 1890 is the corset, which created that hip/waist ratio. If you're among hobbyists like those in the SCA, the plump women seem to be the most appealing in those corseted clothes.
I will say that was a little surprised when I read this article because, being a white male at age twenty, i have been raised with the ideal that thin is better, and larger is worse (as far as body weight goes). It cuaght me off guard when I had read that there in fact was a time in which larger females were considered to be more attractive than those with no body fat whatsoever. But I say that this time period is good, why not appreciate women all around? Imagine a world without judging…ha. That'll be the day! We are all taught what is "good" and what is "bad," but what about what is "normal?" I wish we could feel free to live without any form of judgement.
Interesting, I think the evolution of the 'ideal' body type is fascinating. I think in an ideal world a "healthy" body type being the most attractive would be great! Too skinny is unhealthy and dangerous just as being overweight is. I personally like Doves "real beauty" campaign and I while I haven't noticed other campaigns similar to it, I would hope that this sort of acceptance of all types of beauty will be more common. Also, from a non-random and very limited selection of men, majority of guys whom I've spoken too about body types find "model skinny" to be off putting and a bit frightening. If a woman is happy and healthy, she will exude confidence which to me (and many men, I'm sure) find sexiest.
The amount of pressure for young women to be dangerously and unanaturally thin to be deemed attractive is detrimental to women and our society in general. Eating disorders are becoming all the more common in our culture and the war against fat and obesity is plain cruel. Everyone is born with a different body type, and the majority of the models we see today are either naturally skinny or have eating disorders themselves. The idea that women need to model themeselves after these impossible figures is unfair and unachievable and only creates body image issues and lack of self confidence for women. In the past, women were celebrated for being soft and plump and the beauty ideal was much more relaxed then it was today. We need to go back to celebrating women's bodies as they are and encourage healthy body image in all people.
It used to be that, for white women, the paler the skin the more attractive as it indicated the woman was well-off and did not need to work outside the home. Even Queen Elizabeth I would apply lead to her face in order to whiten it! Now a tan is seen as highly attractive – a woman who can afford the luxury of sunnier climes and indulges herself, be it lazing on the beach or by keeping fit outdoors. I think as social conditions change, what is deemed attractive, and therefore the fashions that evolve in order to attain those standards change with it. It is a pity that many, both men and especially women, do not realise that many of these fads, be it lead make-up or being a size 0, are merely arbitrary notions of attraction and that trying to meet them is often detrimental to both one's physical and mental health.
I enjoyed seeing these images of women, who have real figures. My boyfriend glanced over and he said ooh I like that one (the last image on the bottom) he said he can tell she has a big butt by her hips. While it's true that being too overweight is as unhealthy as being underweight, it is nice to see imaged in magazines that look more like your everyday kind of women. Nowadays, even "thicker" women have teeny tiny waists; I don't understand how they can have such big butts and large breasts with flat little tummies. Back when these photos were taken, I know that wearing a corset helped, but nowadays, the women are wearing practically nothing. I know that many images are photo shopped though, which cause women to feel inferior, because they don't live up to the images they see in the media. I used to like reading Cosmo magazine, but now I prefer to read Glamour. Glamour magazine has featured quite a few "plus size" models in their fashion spreads, but they do not mention that the models are plus size. Some people complained, but most women were happy to see these images in their favorite magazine. I actually cute some pictures out and made a collage of "real women", not fake computer images. While most photos feature tall, skinny, unhappy looking models, it gives me hope that things can change in our society, where we can learn to see the beauty in every human being…..
Unfortunately I think it's more common than we think: a lot of girls have unhealthy relationships with food. And suffer from some form of bodydysmorfic insanity. The media compartmentalizes beauty into a very narrow (no pun intended) and rigid definition. From the 80's-90's the very deer in the headlights strung-out-on-cocaine look was very in. Amongst my friends I am seeing a shift back towards fuller women. I beleive the term we use nowadays is "thick". Curves are soultry, sexy. Historically the ancient fertility figure Venus of Villendorf was very thick and plump an ideal body for bearing children. However the ancient Greeks and Romans were obsessed with a perfected body image but not to the extremes we see today. Dieting and excersize is definately a modern day phenomenon. In order to have free time on your hands and enough resources to pick, choose, and even limit your calorie (energy) intake is a luxury of upper middle class. If you're living in poverty you're just worried about your next meal to get by not looking like a Victorias Secret model.

Steal this idea: A $600 protected bike lane demo at an open-streets event
January 24, 2014
Michael Andersen, Green Lane Project staff writer
Chrissy Lee of the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition sets up a "pop up" bike lane demo last summer.
Sometimes the best ways to spread the idea of protected bike lanes are the simplest.
In Minneapolis, where a new community coalition has set a target to build 30 miles of new protected bike lanes by 2020, fans of protected bike lanes hit on a cheap and easy way to reach the heart of their target market — people who like to ride bikes but feel uncomfortable mixing with auto traffic.
They got together to construct 15 plywood planters and then set them up at each of the city's four summertime Open Streets events. Here's a video showing how it looked at the event:
As you can see in the video above, a volunteer simply flagged passers-by into the "pop-up" protected bike lane.
Andrew Kuncel, who organized the demonstration, called the one-block demo a "gold mine" for building the new coalition's list of public supporters.
"When they get to the end, you can basically get them to sign any type of petition," Kuncel said. "It just makes sense."
How to build it
Photo by Kristina Perkins for BikewaysForEveryone.
Kuncel said the whole operation cost about $600 for materials, though he suggested that other groups should try something lighter than plywood. The assembly took 10 people in a three-hour build session, and on the day of each event Kuncel rented a truck to haul them to the target location and set them up over the course of 100 to 250 feet.
"You don't need a whole lot of space to get the point across that you have a space to ride your bike that's protected from cars and pedestrians," Kuncel said.
A smaller expense was the plants that topped the boxes. Kuncel's team convinced local nurseries to lend them the plants for free, and the group paid for the nursery workers' labor.
"One of the main appeals to non-cyclists is that it helps beautify an area," Kuncel said. "That's kind of a key element that really makes it feel like you're not on the road."
Nice Ride, Minnesota's bike sharing system, also set up a nearby kiosk to demonstrate how to use the system for free. Kuncel also notified the city in advance about the location for the demo.
In the video above, Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition President Molly Sullivan explains why she was excited about the demonstration.
"My vision is that this campaign is successful, we have 30 miles of protected bikeway, and I can bring my kid everywhere we need to go. The kid bikes to school with me, the kid bikes to daycare with me, we go to the gym together, we go to the park together, all on our bike. And that bicycle ridership increases throughout the city so much so that the city says, 'This is not a nice to have. This is a need to have.' This fundamentally changes the way people get around Minneapolis.'"
Update, August 14: Eight months later, the idea has been successfully stolen! People across the country were inspired by this project and did their own demos.
The Green Lane Project is a PeopleForBikes program that helps U.S. cities build better bike lanes to create low-stress streets.

I was impressed with Mark Bradfords work when I first saw it at Watts Towers Arts Center in 2000, but lost interest as subsequent shows seemed to recycle the novelty medium of collaged hair-permanent end papers without displaying any formal growth. But the group of Bradfords recent works in Edens Edge is dazzling, thanks to a dramatic turning up of the contrast over the last couple of years, resulting in a corresponding increase in textural and compositional complexity, overlaying hard-edged graphic design on what was a somewhat mushy impressionism and transforming it into something new and remarkable.
Similarly, Liz Crafts first solo show a closed-circuit sculptural installation called Living Edge that could stand as the absent signature piece of this exhibit was a qualified knockout, but many of her infrequent later inclusions in L.A. group shows came off as relative one-liners. It wasnt until her second L.A. solo show seven years later a crowd of hippie-kitschy hairy guys occupying Peres Projects that it became readily apparent that Craft had emerged from the shadow of Jennifer Pastor as an important and singular L.A. voice.
The key in this case is the seven years thing Crafts tour-de-force Death Rider (Virgo) a wooden iron horse cast in bronze, straddled by Death and a phantom biker chick may be familiar to those who made it to the 2004 Whitney Biennial. But it, like so much of the important art that is made here, has never been exhibited in L.A. Another example is Matthew Monahan, whose awkwardly elegant dry-wall pedestal-mounted mash-ups of previous works and intricately symmetrical stoner transfer-paper monoprints have been causing a stir back East and in Amsterdam; he doesnt even have a gallery here.
This is a collateral benefit of Edens Edge the chance to see works that were never exhibited here, like Jason Rhoades Twelve-Wheel Waggon Wheel Chandelier (a 2004 substitute for a new work the deceased artist was planning for the Hammers vault gallery), which was shown previously in Switzerland, or Monica Majolis recent breakthrough series of large-scale washy watercolors depicting suspended rubber enthusiasts, which debuted at last years Whitney. On the other end of the fame scale, Rebecca Morales whose odd gouache-on-calf-vellum floral studies look like needlecraft projects from a parallel universe has exhibited locally only at the militantly figurative Koplin Del Rio gallery. And Id never even heard of the quirky video-artist team of Harry Dodge and Stanya Kahn.

Other selections give a second chance to see work that may have been overlooked Ginny Bishtons fabulous Walking Drawing photo-collages because Richard Telles stubbornly refuses to relocate from Beverly Boulevard to one of the art malls, or Elliott Hundleys pincushion-palette-turned-artwork Deathless Aphrodite of the Spangled Mind, which showed briefly in a group show at Overtones Gallery while Hundley was in his first year at grad school, and got snapped up by Fred Hoffman. In its Edens Edge configuration, Hundleys Aphrodite is fleshed out or refracted, rather by the presence of four other works that split its spectral sweep into more focused monochromatic pictorial inventories, making apparent a strong overlap with Bishtons masterful attention to color over and above their penchant for cutting out tiny little bits of photographs and sticking them down.
These are the kind of synchronicities that arise when you let the art do the talking. There are some curious oversights Anna Sew Hoys funky clay Scholar Rocks and Dreamcatcher are engaging enough and dovetail neatly with the adjacent revivalist kitsch of Liz Craft, but the spectacularly filigreed tree stumps of her Broken Arm series would have linked up in an additional two or three directions. I can think of a half-dozen other painters working the same multiple-naked-people-inserted-in-barely-adequate-pseudo-German-bad-painting routine as Matt Greene, to similarly negligible effect. Much as Im emotionally attracted to her highly crafted black-light visionary mysticism, Im still not convinced that Sharon Ellis is a major artist, though both these artists work seems more substantial in this company.
Such unfortunate divergences from my taste are more than offset by punchy mini-surveys of Lari Pittmans queasily exquisite canvases and Jim Shaws dream-derived paperback covers, monumental Ganesha sculpture, and a suite of drawings that mulches the corpus of capitalism into a Dionysian hedge-orgy. But of course my taste isnt the point. Edens Edge succeeds as a representation of contemporary art in Los Angeles not because Garrels choices were correct, but because they were personal. Which, when you get down to it, is all any curator really has to offer that isnt already in the art.

Wanted To For Many Years.
People might think, "You're yourself; you should know and understand who you are," but no, I believe many people like me don't understand our selves. Sometimes I have the feeling that I don't know what I should do and what I really want; I just let it be. But is "letting it be" really myself, or is there a deeper guy inside me who knows exactly what to do? Wondering this, I feel that I'm not myself, I'm someone else that doesn't understand me. I do things that I often don't know the reasons why I do it; I make decisions like that too. If there was a way to let me get to know my inner-self, I would do anything to use that way. Still, deep down, I think it is not possible...All your concerns here will be answered for you ,it's just hasn't been reveiled to you , It takes time for things to come to us ,for me experiences for me to recognize I am a complicated person therefore it's hardest for me to see the simple truths. I wasn't able to see the forest for the tree's. For myself again it took knowing there was endeed a plan and I was apart of this plan, I don't need to question it and stay in a state of indecision anymore but just to play my part in this plan always mindful that I am to be kind and honest and do the right thing everytime and it will be good and it will be right. You will then be working on what it is you love the most and making a living and having a family. You will be strong and you will be happy which is doing a great thing for each and everyone of us. We need family and friends to help us see who we are everyday or I do. I practice the best I have on my family and they are able to love me and I them and it all seems to come together from there. I see myself through their eye's. sofican

- //Mates of State
Let's address the seemingly biggest shift in Mates of State's music right off the bat. Since the duo's inception more than a decade ago, Jason Hammel and Kori Gardner constructed their luminously bright indie-pop songs almost exclusively on drums and keyboards. And not just any keyboards, but a 1970s organ with a huge, swelling and marvelously organic sound.
The husband and wife wrote songs on it. They recorded with it. They dragged the thing out on the road. As the duo's popularity grew, the organ became viewed as one of the most recognizable, distinctive and ultimately essential components of the Mates of State sound.
So why is it, then, that the instrument's presence on the San Francisco-based band's new album, "Re-Arrange Us," has been so severely downsized? The reason boils down to an age-old artistic urge: the desire for change.
"We had been writing songs on that big, vintage organ for over four albums now," Hammel said. "And we were like, 'You know what? We're getting kind of bored with this sound. Let's use a bunch of other sounds and see if we can still maintain the energy of Mates of State.
"That was our biggest concern. Was the organ - or the lack of it, really - detrimental to that energy? Thankfully, we found out that it wasn't."
That explains why the first thing you hear as "Re-Arrange Us" comes to life isn't organ but a gentle, solitary hammering of piano. But when Gardner's soothing vocals and the equally evocative pop melody of the album's lead-off tune, "Get Better," kick in, you realize what really rules Mates of State's sunny, though sometimes bittersweet sound: vocals and truckloads of alert pop hooks.
In short, the real change on "Re-Arrange Us" isn't in the band's overall sound but in the choice of tools employed to create it.
"We found out it was the vocals that really explained what we are," Hammel said.
And the pop sensibility in the band's music? Hammel says that evolved over time, with a few fairly unexpected influences.
"You would be surprised," he said. "I listened to a lot of metal when I was in junior high. Then I got into skateboarding, so I got into skate punk. When I got into college, I started listening more to college indie rock. Once I got out, that's when I started to get into the more classic music by Leonard Cohen, the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Nick Cave. Right now, I'd say they are my biggest influences. But at an early age, it was metal and punk rock."
Another unexpected inspiration that played a major role in the evolution of Mates of State's music was Ira Glass, host and producer of public radio's "This American Life." When Glass mounted a touring production of his show in 2007, he invited Hammel and Gardner along. But instead of organ, Gardner found herself playing piano.
"We really felt a sense of accomplishment as a band being able to play alongside Ira and the caliber of his writers," Hammel said.
"We were playing big, sit-down, 3,000-seat-capacity theaters in cities like Boston, New York, Seattle and Chicago. For the shows, we played maybe five or six songs, just piano and drums. That kind of gave us the impetus to start mixing up our own tours a little bit. We could still have tours where it would just be straight-up rock with the two of us. But there could also be tours where there might be various configurations of instruments to portray our sound in ways that would be different and fun."
An example of the latter came when Mates of State toured during the summer. For newer songs from "Re-Arrange Us," the duo became a quartet with the addition of brothers Anton and Lewis Patzner, the cellist and the violinist from the California "string metal" band Judgement Day.
Truth to tell, Hammel and Gardner have two permanent additions to their touring entourages that most audiences never get to see: their daughters Magnolia and June. It seems the family that plays together does indeed stay together.
"We definitely have an untraditional lifestyle," Hammel said. "But it's not that odd or strange, really. We are able to do what we love and still have a family. That's not to say we don't go through a lot of the same tribulations of anyone else who works, is an artist or has a family.
"It's really the only way we can make things work. If Kori and I were in different bands, it would be very difficult. I know we wouldn't want to be away from each other for the amount of time it would take to properly work with those bands. So we feel fortunate. We feel satisfied. But we're never complacent. We want more."

Marisa Tomei and Sarah Jessica Parker Are 'Married and Cheating'
by Ethan Anderton
March 13, 2011
She's already had plenty of romantic adventures in New York and Paris in both the Sex and the City films and series, but now Sarah Jessica Parker is taking on an indie comedy which follows romance in both the locations. Variety reports Parker and Marisa Tomei (The Wrestler) will both star in Married and Cheating, a film that follows three married couples struggling to find happiness. Raymond De Felitta, who most recently helmed the overlooked, but mostly enjoyable dysfunctional family comedy City Island is set to write & direct. Apparently the deals are completely done yet, but both actresses are expected to close soon.
Honestly, I don't really pay much attention to Parker's antics anymore after Sex and the City and the absolutely disastrous "comedy" Did You Hear About the Morgans?, so that's not really doing anything for me. As for Tomei, she had a disappointing and incomplete character in Salvation Boulevard (see my Sundance mini-review here), so I'm looking forward to anything that might make me forget her involvement in that piece of junk. She also has The Lincoln Lawyer hitting theaters next week, and Crazy, Stupid Love (with Steve Carell) later this year, so she has plenty of opportunities to redeem herself. As for Married and Cheating, if De Felitta can bring some of that City Island charm to the film, I'll give it a look. How about you?

The first time I tried this, I was quite sick and couldn't even smell the leaves, let alone taste it.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I opened the package and inhaled deeply. I can't believe I couldn't smell it before! Very minty. The good kind of mint, though; also smelling sweet and a bit spicy. I am very excited to try this again!
The tea is a dark rust color. I can smell both puerh and mint. First sip is very minty. I have had minty teas before that were just disgusting; this one is sweet and pleasant! The cinnamon in this blend is just right. Just a few sips in and I am enjoying this very much.
Second steep +30 sec. A little darker in color than the first steep. Still smells minty but more of the puerh is coming through. Taste wise it's the same way. There's a bit more earthiness coming through but the mint is still the first thing I taste.
This is delicious!

Jul 19, 2014
Matt Prior had helped England start Day Three of the second Test against India at Lord's in fine fashion. However, he was then dismissed as he tried to pull it and top-edged off Mohammed Shami and was taken. England resumed the day on 219 for six with Prior and Liam Plunkett remaining unbeaten from overnight. India had been bowled out for 295 the previous morning and England were led by Gary Ballance, who score his second Test ton.
Prior had been playing some confident strokes. When the ball has been full, he has driven it and also worked a few through the leg-side. It isn't Prior alone, but even Plunkett has gone on to start well. He too has essayed a couple of good shots through the leg side.
It is important for India to pick up the wickets quickly, but they are known to concede too many runs to the tail. As things stand, England look good to take the lead, which isn't that far away. They are 265 for seven now.

All time inspirational song! I get goosebumps and tear up when I hear this song. It reminds me that God is ever faithful and is near. He has a plan to prosper my life and help me to become all I was meant to be.
I totally agree, this man, his amazing voice, and the uplifting messages in all his lyrics blow my mind and seep into the depths of my soul. I would also add You Are Loved to this playlist, again by Mr Groban, to Love and be Loved being essential to our wellbeing.
I Love this don't! The version from the Voice is My Fave though, sorry Josh
Very powerful
V 5 CommentsThis song is so inspiring and sends a great message. People shouldn't be frowned upon for who they love, this doesn't make them any less than their peers. We are all humans, and we all deserve equal rights.
This is an amazing song and it puts the message out there about true sex I don't know
To be honest, I really hate this song. It's boring and none of the artists actually sound like they are putting any passion into this. But the message to the song is honestly really nice, making it deep and emotional way. This song itself is terrible, but the lyrics are really good. - ProPanda
This song is dope
V 11 CommentsIts a awesome song
Tells you to follow your dreams
When I first heard it I imagine what I want
V 5 CommentsBest message ever and people don't get it so be happy!
THE RIGHT WORDS! Always clears up my mind and make it bright
This song is just boss so yeah and my favorite part is call me if you feel bad or something
V 6 CommentsDuring the "National memorial Day Concert" 2014 at the US Capitol in front of 300,000 people, Miss Evancho took this well-worn tune from "West Side Story" and re-purposed it as a beacon of hope for injured veterans. Truly an amazing positive message.
Jackie's performance of this song at the National Memorial Day Concert in 2014 was one of her most magnificent. Professional, confident and just the right tone for the solemn occasion. - BobG
Some where ill be singin this song eternally
Oh my god I love this song--what a great way to think about the world! Change starts from within, and this song is a great reminder of the power our own perception has on our lives.
It is great song
This is a very good song to inspire
Great song I used to listen to it ages ago but they never show it on the radio anymore
Strong emotions listening this song. The name of this song makes sense
I love it
V 6 CommentsI think this song never got it's full just due for it's message. It should be a classic and maybe it will be. Simple, pure and he's some what of a prophet but... I don't know why it isn't a signature.
Simply great message. This song is a great song to make this world a better place to live in and this world could use this right know. Ya
IF the world is going to be better it starts with us.
V 15 CommentsThe Contenders
Nothing beats a tune from the days when music industry still knew how to make melodies, catchy ones at that, without them being annoying. And how to actually put a message across, without it being all about flesh-flashing. And how to bring a smile upon one's lips, without them even realizing, if they are smiling about the song, or because of that happy, warm little feeling, that has started to flutter inside.
Very light headed pleasant song,
This songs is great. That's it that's all you need to know. It's so upbeat. IRS wonderful.
Explains how sometimes we go through tough times, but you have to stay positive
Life may throw you some curve balls but if you keep your eyes on the prize you'll make it out alive and everything will be fine
This song has a very positive message.
She's a great performer and she's hot.
Best. Song. Ever. I. Was. Shocked. When. I. Found
Out. That. Milie. Cyrus. Made. Hannah. MOttana. Songs
This song says that anything is possible with some time. Great moral.
That's. Positive. Song. I. Might. Dance. To. It's. Happy
This. Is. Song. Is. Positive. And. Being. My self
It just has a lot of truth behind it
V 2 CommentsA beautiful song with a powerful message.
This song, written by Jackie's Uncle Matt, pleads for mercy for those who are suffering the consequences of war, homelessness and hunger.
Super awesome
This song really encouraged me to move forward and do the thing that I believed in
Take the path of the brave, not the road of the coward.
This song is so positive to me and I HIGHLY suggest it
"Don't worry, bout a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright. "
A wonderful sentiment. Hard to put into practice though.
I admit no one ever got too far just worrying - but isn't that the first step to noticing something is amiss and may need some attention?
The other half of this song is it's simplicity and good vibe musically - which lull us into agreement with the Bob. Oh yes - and then there's Bob. His life is also a testiment to this song. but he was pro active in creating change.
Meets the need when other songs don't
This gives a message that we should be happy.
A very positive song to listen to when you're feeling Blue
V 2 CommentsYes, the words are in Italian, but the song is about a vision of a better world. Watch Jackie sing this on her DVD "Dream With Me in Concert" or live on "The Talk" and you'll feel good the rest of the day. - BobG
Performed this song at 4th July celebration 2013, Washington D.C. ; on Jackies "Songs from the Silver Screen" album.
This song spreads around strength
I. Love. This. Song. I. Just. I. Match. My. Personally.
V 1 CommentIt reminds me why this world is still a good place, and how beautiful it can be. - ethanmeinster
Love this song! It hits the heart every time! Nothing like it!
A great classic. The song that you need go back and listen to when your feeling sad
"So good"

No. 18 Mississippi State heads to Rocky Top Sunday afternoon to face its highest-ranked foe of the season in No. 6 Tennessee.
Tip at Thompson-Boling Arena is set for 2 p.m. CT, with Cara Capuano and Steffi Sorensen calling the game on the SEC Network. The contest will also be carried online on WatchESPN.
WKBB-FM 100.9 in the Golden Triangle area, WXWX-FM 96.3 in Tupelo and HailStatePLUS will carry the radio broadcast with Jason Crowder and Charlie Winfield.
The trip to Knoxville begins a stretch of three-straight games against Top 15 foes for the Bulldogs. MSU plays four of its six February games on the road, including three tilts against teams ranked in the Top 10.
The Bulldogs enter the season's final full month 22-2 overall and 7-2 in SEC play following a 69-44 win against Vanderbilt Thursday in Humphrey Coliseum.
Vic Schaefer's squad matched last season's win total while claiming the program's most conference wins since 2009-10. State hits the road having won four-straight league contests for the first time since 2006-07.
Freshman Victoria Vivians paced Mississippi State's win against the Commodores, scoring 16 second-half points en route to 20 points.
Vivians' seventh game of 20-plus points raised her season average to 14.5 ppg, the fifth-highest in the league and first among freshmen.
Thursday's effort followed a 19-point, 10-rebound showing at Auburn. The Carthage, Miss., native has averaged 19.5 ppg her last two outings.
Vivians also paces MSU in conference play with 11.6 ppg, just ahead of sophomore Breanna Richardson's 10.4 tally. The Conyers, Ga., native, who leads MSU with 6.7 rpg in SEC play, is averaging 12.3 ppg the last three games after scoring 16 at Ole Miss and 15 against Auburn.
Seniors Martha Alwal and Kendra Grant also sparked Thursday's win against Vandy. Alwal added 14 points in her third start of the year, following a 14-point effort at Ole Miss and 15 in last Monday's win at Auburn.
The SEC's leading shot blocker swatted a pair Thursday to become the third player in SEC history to record 1,000 points, 900 rebounds and 300 blocks for her career.
Alwal scored 10 points in last season's 67-63 heart-breaker against the Lady Vols while Grant added 21.
Grant, who scored 12 first-half points against Vanderbilt, has enjoyed a stellar career against the Lady Vols, averaging 16.0 ppg.
Grant and Alwal, along with fellow seniors Savannah Carter and Jerica James, seek to cap their careers by helping MSU to its first win in the series.
Sunday's contest pits two teams that rate in the Top 5 in the league in both scoring offense and scoring defense.
State enters Sunday the nation's best at defending the 3-point line, holding teams to 20.6 percent. It faces a Tennessee squad that has knocked down an SEC-best 35.4 percent in league play.
The Lady Vols return home following a 73-72 win at No. 10 Kentucky that improved them to 18-3 overall and 8-0 in the league.
Isabelle Harrison paced Tennessee with 23 points and 10 rebounds, raising her team-leading season totals to 12.6 ppg and 8.9 rpg.
Ariel Massengale also averages double figures for the Lady Vols, scoring 11.2 ppg overall and 10.6 ppg in conference play.
Following Sunday's contest, Mississippi State returns home to host its first of two February Hail State Hoops luncheons Thursday before returning to action on the home court Sunday against No. 12/14 Texas A&M.
Tip for next Sunday's contest is set for 2 p.m. on the SEC Network. The game will also be carried live nationally on Sirius 92 and XM 190 in addition to the local affiliates.

The increased susceptibility to seasonal influenza coupled with decreased vaccine efficacy among older adults, who make up the fastest growing population in the United States, constitutes an emerging public health crisis. The Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV) is a nasally administered vaccine that has been shown to be more effective than the trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) in pediatric populations due to its ability to replicate and elicit a mucosal immune response at the site of natural infection - the nasal epithelium. Our preliminary data demonstrate that the LAIV exhibits significantly less replication in human nasal epithelial cell (hNEC) cultures from adults over 65 compared with younger subjects. Inadequate infection of the nasal epithelium limits the vaccine-activated immune response and we hypothesize that decreased LAIV infection and replication in the nasal epithelium of older adults contributes to the reduced vaccination efficacy. This proposal aims to characterize the defect in LAIV infection of nasal epithelial cells from older adults by comparing virus replication and nasal epithelial cell immune responses between adults over 65 and younger subjects between the ages of 5 and 17. The functional significance of any differences in the epithelial cell-derived immune responses between younger and older hosts will be assessed in order to identify potential mechanisms at the level of the epithelium, which modulate immune responses to the LAIV. Then we will study the effect of aging on the interaction between hNECs and dendritic cells in order to gain insight into how these age-specific changes in LAIV replication and nasal epithelial immune responses affect the dendritic cell-initiated adaptive immune response. The ultimate goal of this project is to identify age-specific epithelial cell factors that affect virus replication, which can then be used in the development of either novel vaccines with expanded immunoprotection or immune-modulatory adjuvants that can improve vaccine efficacy in older adults by enhancing vaccine replication.
The increased susceptibility to seasonal influenza coupled with decreased vaccine efficacy among older adults constitutes an emerging public health crisis. The Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine is the most effective vaccine in pediatric populations but is not protective in older adults. The reason the LAIV is believed to work so well in children but not in older adults is that it can replicate well in the nose of children and stimulate a protectiv immune response whereas in older adults the lack of adequate replication fails to elicit an effective immune response. The primary goal of this proposal is to further our understanding of how aging affects LAIV efficacy in older adults by identifying the epithelial cell specific factors that inhibit vaccine replication in older adults which will lead to the development of novel strategies designed to improve vaccine efficacy in older adults through enhanced vaccine replication.

Bacon is a meat of the gods — a perfectly greasy man-snack that's acceptable in any and all situations. For starters, there's bacon shaving cream, bacon maple ale and a meaty, bacon coffin...
If there's anything cuter than a poodle, it's a poodle in a sweater. Come on, you can't tell us a Pokemon pug isn't totally adorable or a Santa puppy fails to pull on your animal-loving heartstrings. That being said, things are kept fairly tame on our end when it comes to dressing up our dogs, because we don't want to embarrass them too much.
Pugs are some of the funniest pups around. For starters, they have a knack for eating peanut butter and dressing up like Avengers. The bulging eyes, heavy breathing, tongue hanging out-- they can't help but look hilariously adorable no matter what the situation.
There are lots of awkward things in life. Take sneezing, for example. It's one of those things we just can't control, and there are zero ways to do so casually. It usually goes like this: you go for the huge "aaaa-CHOO," lots of nasty stuff comes out of your nose and you're left scrambling for a tissue while people look at you in disgust. It's just wrong. But did you know there's one great part to this involuntary action? The sneeze face.
We recently presented you with quite possibly the most adorable group of pictures, ever. They were miniature, furry nuggets of cuteness that would be extremely difficult to top in the miniature, furry nuggets of cuteness category-- tiny dogs. Could it get any better?! Answer: y-e-s. America, we'd like to share with you our latest discovery-- tiny cats.
If you know anything about us here at TheFW, it's that we love any sort of furball, particularly those of the adorable variety. Tiny dogs, piglets in people clothes, you name it-- we're fans. There are also times when we sort of feel bad for our fellow animals. This is especially true when unfortunate haircuts are involved.
One of the best things about our pets (and animals in general) is that they have zero insight as to how cute and hilarious they actually are. They're adorably compliant too, like when we feel like dressing up cats in couture clothes or puppies in 'Star Wars' costumes. It's just what embarrassing pet owners do. If you're a fellow fan of said shenanigans, we have some fantastic news-- doggy eyebrows are now a thing.
Babies can pull off the funniest stuff and still make it look ridiculously cute. Take the 'Evil Baby' meme, for example. How is the munchkin so mean yet so adorable?! It's a little annoying, because there's no way we could get away with those sorts of shenanigans. They can party well into the night, go a little too hard and still-- C-U-T-E!
TGIF everyone! Even though this work week was shortened due to New Year's preparations and celebrations, we always enjoy welcoming the weekend. Always.
The holidays might be winding down, but that doesn't mean we can put our feet up and slip into a post-festivities food coma just yet. T-minus three days until New Year's Eve, and you know what that means-- it's time to get your party on!
Yes, it's true we're borderline obsessed with dressing up our dogs (and any other animal for that matter), from the hilarious for Halloween to festive garb for Christmastime. But can you blame us? Pets are, like, 10,000 times cuter when clothing is involved.
While we're usually to blame for starting up said shenanigans, recently we've seen something strange happening-- animals are beginning to get in on the action all by themselves (or so we say). The latest ones to do this? Dapper dogs.

GOODMAN, Wis. -- Authorities say a Green Bay man has died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot after shooting at a random car and at sheriff's deputies on a Marinette County highway.
Sheriff's officials say a couple in the car told investigators a man in a black SUV began shooting at them on Highway 141 near Wausaukee and struck their vehicle.
Deputies spotted the SUV speeding down the wrong side of the highway and gave chase. WJFW-TV reports the pursuit continued west on Highway 8 where the suspect fired at the squads.
Authorities say the man turned down a dirt road and deputies lost track of his vehicle. Brown County sheriff's deputies and State Patrol troopers joined in a search for the man.
Officers eventually found the man lying outside his SUV with a gunshot wound to the head.

MIDEAST STOCKS - Factors to watch - Mar 26
DUBAI, March 26 Here are some factors that may affect Middle East stock markets on Sunday. Reuters has not verified the press reports and does not vouch for their accuracy.
* Earliest date for lease sale off Virginia coast is 2012
* Offshore lease area may hold 130 million barrels of oil
* New Virginia governor wants leasing plan to go forward
By Tom Doggett
WASHINGTON, Jan 26 The federal government's controversial plan to allow oil and gas drilling off Virginia's coast will be delayed, frustrating energy companies who for years have pushed for access to more offshore areas.
The delay also derails a recent request from Virginia's new governor for the U.S. Interior Department to lease the offshore tracts to oil and gas companies as scheduled and creates more uncertainty over whether the drilling plan will ever be carried out.
The federal government's current five-year drilling plan, which was drawn up under the Bush administration, calls for leasing almost 3 million acres in a triangular area located about 50 miles off the Virginia shoreline in November 2011.
The Obama administration put that plan under review when it came into office, and U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says he will decide by this summer whether the prior Bush plan will go forward.
However, the department's Minerals Management Service, which oversees offshore drilling, said the proposed Virginia leasing plan will be delayed. The department may still decide against any energy exploration in the area.
Lars Herbst, MMS regional director for the Gulf of Mexico, announced the delay last week at an offshore industry workshop held in Texas, according to several people who attended the event, which was not open to the press. MMS spokeswoman Eileen Angelico confirmed Herbst's comments.
Herbst said the MMS staff was still reviewing whether to hold the Virginia lease sale. But if it is cleared, the earliest the area would be leased is in 2012, before the current five-year drilling plan ends on June 30 of that year. The leasing plan could also be delayed past that date.
"They're still analyzing whether they're going to be able to hold the lease sale then or not," said Angelico, who added that more time was needed to study the environmental impact of potential offshore drilling.
The proposed Virginia lease area may hold 130 million barrels of oil and 1.14 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Virginia would be the first state on the U.S. Atlantic seaboard to have offshore drilling since a congressional ban and a presidential moratorium against offshore energy exploration in Atlantic waters ended in 2008.
The area was included in the current five-year drilling plan at Virginia's request. The state's new governor, Bob McDonnell, wrote Salazar in late December and urged the secretary to allow drilling off Virginia in 2011 as scheduled.
"Any effort to remove or delay Virginia's participation in the lease sale would significantly hamper our efforts to create jobs, eliminate much-needed new revenue and undermine support for President Obama's stated commitment to make the United States more energy secure," McDonnell said in his letter.
The governor's office could not be reached for comment.
The American Petroleum Institute, the trade group for big oil and gas companies, criticized the department's move.
"This just demonstrates what remains a pattern with the Salazar Interior Department. Delay, delay, delay," said API spokeswoman Cathy Landry. "Instead of moving forward, and conducting environmental reviews so the sale could occur in 2011, Salazar stalled."
In a related matter, Salazar said the Interior Department will publish in the Federal Register this week a proposal on the environmental impact of allowing companies to conduct seismic testing in Atlantic Coast waters, which would help determine available oil and natural gas resources.
The proposal will open for public comment for 45 days. (Reporting by Tom Doggett)

Rivalling Prague's beauty, the home of Copernicus and Pope Jean-Paul II, 6,000 historic buildings, one of Europe's finest medieval squares and Poland's capital for 500 years.
Selected departures March to November 2017
You should arrive at the airport to take your flight to Krakow. On arrival a coach will take you to our hotel, the four-star Novotel, very modern and well managed, it is centrally located, within walking distance of the main sights and has a bar, good restaurant, fitness facilities including an indoor swimming pool and all rooms are air-conditioned for your additional comfort.
After breakfast we will have a walking tour of Krakow, following which we defy you to disagree that this is one of the most beautiful cities you have ever seen.
During our tour we will see the amazing Rynek, the main square, lined with exquisite medieval buildings and always busy with locals going about their daily business, exchanging a few words or enjoying a coffee in one of the numerous street cafés. In the centre is the Cloth Hall, which as its name suggests, has been used for textile trading since the 16th century. Today it is full of small stalls selling beautiful, locally-made amber jewellery and an art gallery. Overlooking the square is St. Mary's church so richly decorated with fine paintings, gold-leaf and silverware, it could be mistaken for a cathedral. The 14th century stained glass is particularly ornate with striking beams of light creating a kaleidoscope of colour in the chancel below. Since medieval times, from the top of one of the two ornate spires a trumpeter sounds a warning of potential attack every two hours. You will also see the immense Florian Gate and the remains of the medieval fortifications built to defend the capital of Poland. Also the church where years later Pope John Paul II held Mass to a grateful congregation and the wonderful Slowacki Theatre – the design of which is based on the Paris Opera House.
We will see a host of other sights too, including the University and Collegium where the famous astronomer Copernicus theorised that the earth was not the centre of the solar system – bravely driving a coach and horses through centuries-old scientific thinking!
Later we visit the Wawel castle district which, dating back to the 11th century, is built on a bend on the river Vistula below and dominates Krakow. This was the political and cultural capital of Poland for over 500 years and today the myriad of buildings comprise amongst others, the Royal Palace, Cathedral, Senators' Hall, Treasury and Armoury. We will see the cathedral that is the final resting place of the Polish monarchs. You can tour the Palace and Royal chambers which host an impressive range of rooms that have been restored to their original and stunning Renaissance and Baroque state, overflowing with fine furniture, works of art and Europe's largest collection of tapestries. There will be free time to explore the rest of the complex, including the wonderful three-tiered Renaissance courtyard.
This afternoon, should you wish, you will have the option of a tour to the famous Salt Mines (your tour manager will advise locally of the times and costs).
We thought long and hard about how appropriate it would be to include this morning's destination in a holiday – Auschwitz and Birkenau. These places need no introduction. As a company, our philosophy is that we try to inform our clients about all aspects of the countries we visit, which includes the history as well as visits to 'tourist musts'.
Auschwitz has been left virtually as it was when it was liberated in 1945. It is now a museum and monument. This morning's guided tour will be extremely moving. First we visit Auschwitz and then nearby Birkenau and the notorious watchtower from where we can appreciate the sheer scale of the atrocities that happened. We return to Krakow during the afternoon and the mood will immediately lift as we have time to explore Krakow's beautiful range of attractions. Alternatively, if you wish to stay in Krakow for the full day, you are free to do so.
At the appropriate time the coach will return us to the airport for our return flight.
Krakow is without doubt one of the most beautiful cities, ranking with Prague and Vienna as one of the real architectural gems of central Europe and its historic centre is a UNESCO world heritage site. The city first came to prominence nearly 1,000 years ago when it became the royal capital of Poland. It remained so for 500 years, spanning both the Middle Ages and Renaissance period. The castle evolved to become the sumptuous Royal Palace and was the centre of ancient trade routes to the orient and Baltic. This, together with salt (that vital commodity, which it possessed in abundance) ensured its immense prosperity, and the result is the amazing collection of palaces, aristocratic buildings and works of art that you see today. The city reached its zenith during the 16th century when learning and science prospered and over the centuries influence from Prussia, cities from the Hanseatic League and absorption within the Hapsburg Empire have all left their classic and architectural influence, contributing to the masterpiece that is now Krakow.
Centred in a magnificent medieval square, the second largest in Europe, the statistics are staggering – over 6,000 historic buildings and monuments, 18 museums, 2.5 million works of art, one of Europe's oldest universities and over 140 churches – many of them stunningly decorated in their own right. Spared any significant war damage, today the city is a delight to explore. Krakow is far from just a collection of buildings, its atmosphere is vibrant, alive and timeless with the past and present beautifully intertwined.
Poland and Krakow in particular have always been very religious and it is impossible to mention the city without including the Catholic Church. In 1978 the unknown Archbishop of Krakow was elected Pope John Paul II, the highest office of Catholicism, in what was at the time officially an atheist country. There is no doubt this fact unified the country, helped the Polish people to throw off the yoke of communism and led to a surge of self-confidence and optimism that is so evident today.
The city also boasts a great cultural past, which is hardly surprising from the country of Copernicus and Chopin. During the evening there could be nothing better than to attend one of the numerous classical music concerts that are held in churches throughout the city.
The price of this holiday is per person, based on two people sharing a twin room. Single rooms are subject to availability at a supplement of £109 per person. The price includes return flights to Krakow, three nights with breakfast as mentioned, guided sightseeing tour of Krakow, visit to the castle district, visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, return airport transfers, services of a Riviera tour manager throughout.
Not included: Optional trip to the Salt Mines £25 approximate cost, payable locally.

Kosmoceratops richardsoni Sampson et al., 2010 |
Kosmoceratops (from Ancient Greek κόσμος (kosmos "ornament, decoration"), κέρας (keras, "horn") and ὤψ (ōps, "face")) is a genus of herbivorous chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur, which lived during the Late Cretaceous period (late Campanian) in the part of the island continent Laramidia that is now Utah, United States. Its fossils have been recovered from the Kaiparowits Formation in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.[1] It was first named by Scott D. Sampson, Mark A. Loewen, Andrew A. Farke, Eric M. Roberts, Catherine A. Forster, Joshua A. Smith, and Alan L. Titus in 2010 along with the chasmosaurine genera Utahceratops (also from the monument) and Vagaceratops (from Alberta).[1] The type species is K. richardsoni, named in honor of Scott Richardson, a volunteer who discovered the holotype specimen and many other fossils within the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.[2]
Kosmoceratops is distinguished by an ornate skull, the most ornate of any known dinosaur. The horns above the eyes are long, thin, and pointed. They project laterally from the skull and curve downward. The orientation of these horns differs from most other ceratopsians, in which the horns are oriented either forward, or backward. There is a forehead-like hump on the skull roof in front of the eye sockets. The nasal horncore, the bony projection from which the nose horn grew, is flattened and blade-like. The frill of Kosmoceratops is the shortest relative to its width of any ceratopsian; it is about twice as wide as it is long. The parietal fenestrae, two holes in the frill, are also very small and are positioned toward the back. The size of the frill and its fenestrae differ considerably from other chasmosaurines, many of which are known for their elongate frills. Ten hook-like projections rim the frill. Eight of these hooks curve forward to overlie the frill, while the other two are positioned on either side of it, curving laterally rather than rostrally. Overall, there are fifteen horns or horn-like structures on the skull, the most of any ceratopsian.[1]
Below is a cladogram from Sampson et al. (2010):[1]
Kosmoceratops, along with most other chasmosaurines, inhabited Laramidia, an island continent at the time that now forms western North America. During the Late Cretaceous, Laramidia was separated from Appalachia, the eastern North American landmass, by the Western Interior Seaway. A major evolutionary radiation took place on Laramidia, with many major dinosaur clades known from across the island continent. Two endemic faunas may have existed in separate biomes or "provinces": one to the south of what is now Utah and Colorado, and one north of this region. Kosmoceratops, along with most other Campanian chasmosaurines, lived in the southern province, while the north was only inhabited by species of Chasmosaurus that existed in what is now Alberta.[1]
Chasmosaurines appear to have originated in Laramidia around 80-90 Ma, and dispersed throughout the continent by 77 Ma. By this time, a barrier had appeared in the area of Utah and Colorado that separated the two provinces. Kosmoceratops appeared in the southern province after the barrier appeared. Then, with the dissolution of the barrier around 75.7 Ma, the Kosmoceratops lineage migrated northward. In the northern province, forms such as Vagaceratops appeared. These forms would later give rise to the more derived chasmosaurines of the late Campanian and Maastrichtian stages, including Anchiceratops, Arrhinoceratops, and Triceratops.[1]
