In a recent post, I wrote about my intense dislike for bullshit. My writings also described the obviously millions of Americans who revel in its sustenance when it comes to any fantasy fulfilling pill to swallow from President Barack Obama.
I am mindful that the president is well liked.
I am mindful that for many, this man represents what was previously thought to be unobtainable.The forty acres and a mule has arrived. Rejoice! The African American standard has been raised. We can all eat lobster now- that is if you can afford it.
From this post at the White House Dossier:
Obamas Depleting U.S. Lobster Supply
Keith Koffler
August 25, 2010
So how much lobster are you having during these precarious economic times? What? You've had to cut back? No longer ordering it stuffed with crab meat, at least?
Well, if you happen to be the President of the United States or the First Lady, your lobster consumption is continuing at a robust pace.
Yes, the economy is still getting battered. And Tuesday night, so was President Obama's lobster.
According to ABC's Jake Tapper, the president savored some lobster tempura at the trendy State Road Restaurant in West Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard. Oh, just the thought of it. If he brings some back to the White House for me, I'll write whatever he wants.
Monday night at The Sweet Life Cafe in Oak Bluffs on the Vineyard it was the lobster pasta appetizer for the president and a surf and turf entrée – the "surf" being a lobster tail – for Mrs. Obama.
And what would the vacation to Maine in July have been without a taste of everyone's favorite crustacean. The president did it in a little less genteel fashion that time, heading over to something called Stewman's Downtown restaurant where he was served the "Lobster Experience" dinner – just regular lobster, corn and slaw.
But the Obamas' lobster experience is not confined to these shores. Michelle Obama was barely off the plane during her voyage early this month to the Spanish Riviera when, according to the Spanish press, she dived into a feast of sea bass tartare, strawberry gazpacho and sardines, and a main course of lobster with seaweed risotto.
Michelle enjoyed the repast so much that she was right back at it on August 14 during the Obamas' two-day Panama City, Fla photo-op vacation. There, at the Firefly restaurant, it was more lobster for Michelle.
Yes again, congratulations Mr. and Mrs. President on raising the cuisine bar for blacks. We have finally made it to the top.
African Americans and seafood is an inside joke among us brothers and sisters. When I was in college for a date if a guy really wants to impress a woman he would take her to Red Lobster. Shrimp, crab, lobster, are all pretty expensive for a family on a budget- even more so if you are a struggling black college student.
Hearing language in the vein of "Man, I ain't taking her all out to get no lobster or anything…she ain't all that!"
Or if you are a young woman like one classmate of mine :
" Shoot as good as I looking tonight that negro had better take me to get some snow crab and lobster. I just got my hair did and looking tight… "
was not uncommon.
Red Lobster is like the pleasure dome of culinary venues for many. Cheddar biscuit and all you can eat heaven.
From Urban Dictionary:
red lobster
Often reffered[sic] to as "ghetto seafood".
A place where rednecks, uneducated, ghetto, and often illiterate people go on special occasions, birthdays, aniversarries [sic], weddings. Redlobster is a restaurant which specializes in serving food to the lower portion of society which is why they serve what customers reffer to as, "fried skrimps" with "smashed pertaters". If fathers day is the most confusing holiday for you, or if your entire extended family consists of five people which live in the same double-wide, your favorite restaurant is most likely red lobster.
"Hey hunny happy aniverarry were going to red lobster!!!"
Because dining out is a cultural event in some circles, I was not one bit shocked to hear the following on a Chicago bus recently:
"Obama is all up in that White House mutha eating lobster and steaks, brutha eating good like a black boy should," laughed the older African American male in his mid to late fifties.
His companion also a black male, of about the same age chuckled along with him and added, "Man I'd be eating lobster all damn day too if I was president…Ni–ga will kill for some lobster now…gotta wait for someone to die n' shit before you can get some lobster…"
After this important topic, the men then began a conversation about a subject that was more serious and pertinent to the woes of African Americans in Chicago. Apparently they knew a friend's son that was killed by random gunfire. Not surpising seeing as how 300 people were shot in Chicago during the month of July:
From this story in the Chicago Tribune
303 people shot in July
By Annie Sweeney, Jeremy Gorner and Joe Germuska August 21, 2010
…More than 300 people were shot in Chicago last month. At least 33 of them have died.
Some victims made headlines, like 13-year-old Robert Freeman Jr., who was fatally shot on his block while hanging out with friends. The city paused when two Chicago police officers — Michael Bailey and Thor Soderberg — were gunned down in uniform within weeks of each other.
But many more victims of shootings in July — historically among the city's most dangerous months — suffered unnoticed by the rest of the city.
Crime has been holding steady in Chicago in recent years. Through July, there have been 1,089 shootings in the city, a 2.4 percent decrease over last year. This July, police counted 221 shooting incidents, compared with 229 in July 2009. A review of seven years worth of shootings showed similar numbers.
In other words, this was a typical July.
The Chicago Police Department declined to provide the number of shooting victims in July or comment about the month's shooting tally. But a Tribune analysis of reported shootings, based on logs kept by police and reporting by the Tribune, counted 303 people who were injured in shootings last month.
The Tribune's analysis showed that shootings occurred in predictable places — the Far South Side and West Side, for instance, where violence has been a pervasive problem for decades. It also showed how a bullet — even one that doesn't kill — pierced a path of destruction in victims, families and the neighborhoods where they live.
So great! President Obama and his First Lady can live the Great American Lobster Fest!!
Now does this mean that his supporters must continue remain totally blind to the incompetency of the Obama administration?
Do you have to aid and abet an empty suit government? Can you continue to ignore the complete and utterly blatant absence of checks and balances when it comes to the passage of" Obamalawz " ? Healthcare …executive orders, immigration? Does this mean that you have not checked your bank balances recently?
Is there a lobster in every pot or just water stew with a few leaves of arugula floating around in it?
And yes in full disclosure- I have dined on lobster this summer. Jewel Foodstore had a sale on lobster tails at $6.99 each. I bought two lobster tails. $14 splurge for Afrocity and the next day I ate spaghetti with Ragu sauce for dinner and Beenie Weenies for lunch to make up for it.
For liberals, the rich and Christian conservatives are the wrongdoers.
I mentioned in many of my posts that liberals adore being victims and I will admit here that some are. However, the people doing the fighting for the victims, are far from being victims and many of them never were victims. Not then, not when you voted for them because they "got you" and certainly not now. They need victims in order to be elected. Once elected, you stay a victim while they spoon our tax dollars down their throats.
They eat lobster while you eat that Hope n' Change cake.
Mmmmm good huh? Tastes like air.
Of all political ideologies liberalism, according to Democrats, is the most caring.
Did you know that in 2007 Sarah Palin gave more to charity than Obama and Joe Biden combined? She also made less money than the then DNC high office nominees. Much fodder was made out of Sarah Palin's RNC bought wardrobe. Debate encircled the Alaskan VP candidate and her choice of make-up, clothes, shoes, Kmart pampers.
"Sarah is so out of touch with American people," a liberal acquaintance told me. " She is so provincial. Big house, all of these kids…In Huffpo it was reported that she cost the state of Alaska millions in travel fees to cart around those brats and her snow ski bunny husband…They say she has a tanning bed in her house. IN HER HOUSE!!!"
You are probably wondering what Afrocity was doing at this point in the conversation.
My friend's Palin hate was on autopilot. There was no stopping her and in fact, I took some sort of sick twisted tingle up my leg joy while watching her.
While bemoaning Sarah's tanning bed, my friend never once mentioned Barack Obama's discounted mob assisted mansion-ish purchase. Not one word about First Lady, Michelle Obama's Lanvin $565 tennis shoes, or her shopping sprees at Ikram (an upscale Chicago designer boutique).
$500 shoes worn to a charity event during a recession?
But somehow in the eye's of his adoring supporters, the Obama's are in touch with the American People. Sure they are in touch with the American people…All of the American people who attended Ivy League schools and were raised in Hawaii, and now live in mansions. Class warfare on the part of liberals is like Wag the Dog. Outsiders to limousine liberals do not understand this. In contrast to Republicans who don't openly preach disdain for those who have, the liberal power brokers preach sacrifice and cry victim while secretly going home to maids, private schooling for their children, and obviously lobster, lobster and more lobster.
"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more. " —Michelle Obama

Accomplished actor Anthony Anderson has appeared in over 20 films, and his stellar work on NBC's "Law & Order" earned him three of his eight NAACP Image Award nominations. Prior to launching his acting career, Anthony grew up in Los Angeles and attended the High School for the Performing Arts, where he earned first place in the NAACP's ACTSO Awards with his performance of a classic monologue from "The Great White Hope." That performance, along with his dedication to his craft, earned him an arts scholarship to Howard University.
He first gained national attention as one of Jim Carrey's sons in "Me, Myself, & Irene." Over the years, Anthony has displayed his range of talent in everything from "Transformers" to Martin Scorsese's Best Oscar Oscar-winning feature film, "The Departed."
His additional feature films include "Scary Movie 3," "Barbershop," "Kangaroo Jack," "Exit Wounds," "Cradle 2 the Grave," "Two Can Play That Game" and "Malibu's Most Wanted." He starred opposite Eddie Griffin and Michael Imperioli in "My Baby's Daddy," alongside Frankie Muniz in "Agent Cody Banks 2" and enjoyed a cameo in "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle."
Anthony brought his talent and humor to the small screen in his own sitcom, "All about the Andersons," which was loosely based on his life. He appeared in the police-drama television series, "The Shield," opposite Michael Chiklis and Glenn Close, and starred in the New Orleans-based drama "K-Ville."
Anthony is currently starring on three TV series, "Guys with Kids," "Treme" and "Golf in America," and lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Alvina, and their two children. Here he talks about hosting the United Negro College Fund's 34th Annual "An Evening of Stars."
Kam Williams: How ya' been, Anthony? It's great to have another opportunity to speak with you.
Anthony Anderson: Hey, Kam. I'm alright.
KW: I wanted to say congratulations on your eighth NAACP Image Award nomination, this time for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy TV Series for "Guys with Kids." You got my vote again, as a member of the nominating committee.
AA: Thank you. Maybe one day I'll win one.
KW: What interested you in hosting the UNCFs' Evening of Stars?
AA: You know what, they reached out to me to host, and I couldn't turn them down. I'd grown up watching the show with my parents every year back when it was hosted by Lou Rawls. We didn't have much money at all, but my folks always found a way to give a little. And now, here I am 30 years later with a $25,000 United Negro College Fund scholarship in my name. That's something that interested me as well.
KW: Will that scholarship specifically go to a student at your alma mater, Howard University?
AA: No, I didn't want them to think I was based, even though I am. I haven't figured out whether we're going to give it all to a single student, or break it and give it to five different students.
KW: What did attending Howard University meant to you?
AA: It meant everything. This is the sort of creative energy you could find on campus when I was a student there: Paula Jai Parker, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Wendy Davis, Carl Anthony Payne, Sean P. Diddy Combs, Ananda Lewis, Laz Alonso, Lance Gross, the music of the group Shai, and the list goes on and on. We were all there at the same time. For all of us to then go off in our respective fields independently of one another and become successes can't even be quantified.
KW: What are the major challenges facing the Historically Black Colleges and Universities today? Is there any truth to the rumor that they are having a hard time finding black male students?
AA: I would assume so, and I say that because only about 5 percent of African-Americans who graduate from high school are college ready. And only 28 percent of that 5 percent eventually graduate from college with a bachelor's degree. You asked specifically about African-American males. When I was in college, the ratio was 7 females for every male on campus. So, that's been the case for a long time, but I don't know what the reason is for that drastic difference.
KW: You're currently starring on the series "Guys with Kids" and "Treme," as well as hosting "Golf in America." How do you manage to juggle all that?
AA: They all shoot in different locations but at different times, fortunately. So, I've been able to work everything out.
KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would?
AA: No. Why do you have one in mind?
KW: Nope.
AA: Let me think… Nobody's ever asked me, "If you could have a superpower, which would you choose?" I'd like to have the ability to make money whenever I need it. [Laughs] What I'd really like is to be able to fly because I love freedom, and being able to do what I want to do when I want to do it.
KW: The Michael Ealy question: If you could meet any historical figure, who would it be?
AA: Hmm, that's a good one! Dr. Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln.
KW: The Columbus Short question: Are you happy?
AA: Another good one! Happiness is a state of mind. Most people automatically assume that we're happy because we're famous and some of us are rich. But material things don't make you happy. And the more success you achieve only amplifies who you are as a person. If you're miserable, you're just going to be miserable and rich and famous. I know people like that. I have friends who are that way.
KW: What is your guiltiest pleasure?
AA: Late night Taco Bell.
KW: The bookworm Troy Johnson question: What was the last book you read?
AA: 50 Shades of Grey.
KW: The music maven Heather Covington question: What was the last song you listened to?
AA: "My Life Would Suck without You" by Kelly Clarkson.
KW: What is your favorite dish to cook?
AA: That's hard for me to say, because I'm a chef. I'm going to have to say Oxtail Stew. Cooking is one of my passions. I'm a judge on the Food Network's "Iron Chef America," and I'm competing on "Chopped" next month.
KW: The Uduak Oduok question: Who is your favorite clothes designer?
AA: Woody Wilson. He's my personal tailor.
KW: Dante Lee, author of "Black Business Secrets," asks: What was the best business decision you ever made?
AA: To buy my first home.
KW: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
AA: It's interesting that you should ask that question because I've been staring at myself in this dressing room mirror as we have this conversation with one another. Here's the things that have been running through my mind: both success and failure, because I couldn't appreciate the success that I'm enjoying now without the failures that I experienced before them.
KW: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for?
AA: To end world hunger.
KW: The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is your earliest childhood memory?
AA: Being fed by my grandmother as an infant.
KW: The Jamie Foxx question: If you only had 24 hours to live, what would you do? Would you do the bad stuff, you never got a chance to do, or would you do good stuff to make sure you make it into heaven?
AA: Wow! [Whispers] I've done a lot of bad, Kam, and I've enjoyed doing those bad things. [Resumes normal voice] But I'm also a spiritual person and I believe I'm going to heaven anyway, because I've asked for forgiveness for my sins. So, if I only had 24 hours to live, I'd just spend it with my loved ones doing nothing yet everything.
KW: The Kerry Washington question: If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
AA: A lion.
KW: The Pastor Alex Kendrick question: When do you feel the most content?
AA: Hmm… On my couch in my family room.
KW: The Toure question: Who is the person who led you to become the person you are today?
AA: It started with Mrs. Kpodo, my fourth grade teacher.
KW: The Judyth Piazza question: What key quality do you believe all successful people share?
AA: A passion for what it is they do.
KW: What advice do you have for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
AA: Never let anyone else determine your self-worth.
KW: The Tavis Smiley question: How do you want to be remembered?
AA: Hmm… As someone who cared, as someone who loved, and as someone who believed in others.
KW: Thanks again for the time, Anthony, and best of luck with all your endeavors.
AA: Thank you Kam, I appreciate that. Alright brother, have a good one.

Never! It's temporary in order to be chief cook for Thanksgiving. I have been going through lecture notes and scanning. In general making a big mess in my genealogy/computer room. Rather than shut the door when company arrives, I'll force myself to quit and clean up the place.
It would be nice if somebody in the Thanksgiving company would ask about relatives and family history. Just one simple question would make my day. Maybe they will be drawn to this room if I clean it up, pull a book off the shelf and get me started. I hope they are not too tired from eating or lazy watching TV that no interest is shown. When they are all gone I will retreat to "my" room and once again make my genealogy mess. For one day I can survive ... I think!

Uh , let's just put it this way. Oscillinium has molecules that repetitively shake causing it to shred ion a micro scale but heat on a macro scale since molecular kinetics translate into heat. The 4th metal is the complete opposite. High density molecular structure and little to no space minimize molecular motions so there is little heat and high hardness. The lack of flexible bonds make the metal brittle. But despite its structure, it has a contradictory ability to absorb kinetic impact on a macro scale. The cooling effect is only natural as external heat tries to enter the lower heat environment of the metal.
EDIT: @stratos: It's not insta include, that's for sure. Right now it's concept. The plot doesn't necessitate it and I don't have that much plans for the sword yet.
About the hardness, it's that, hard but it is also brittle. If you had to chart its deformation, elastic line is nearly non-existent, while the plastic point and fracture point are practically the same point. So if it were only as hard as diamond, IS could just crush it outright.

Spoiler for Schrödinger Theorem:
This is where stuff diverge greatly.
Three Orimuras had same father. Chifuyu's mother died early and the Schrödinger's cat the two Ichika's mother, two unrelated woman.

It's pivotal to prove that male Ichika shouldn't exist at all.
They found the woman who should be M!Ichika's mother, but record say around the time of Ichika's conception (no kidding), she already pregnant with a daughter, from entirely different man. And unlike human, genetics can't lie, yet.
So the most plausible answer is also the most inconvenient.
Of course, like you said, X - Y dynamic could be the exact answer and then the convenient answer is implausible, Ichika could be FemIchika's lost twin or something, but Chifuyu remember clearly how FemIchika is born (She's 8-9 years older than him/her) and regularly goes with her mother to clinic during pregnancy.
But you're right, this will save time and more wincestuous.

Yeah, I knew, it's been scrapped.
Spoiler for Loldraft 2:
This explanation shot down the "clone" and "artificial baby" theory, which mean the possibility of male Ichika exist is (almost) zero, why else the twin sister is fraternal while the boy and girl is semi-identical?

I was thinking the plausibility of combining Barrier Void ability and EMP cannon, it's an one hit kill attack that's perfectly harmless to living target.
The catch is that it requires two ByakuShiki and their pilots to perfectly synchronize with each other... in other words, a FREAKING SEKIHA LOVE LOVE TENKYOKEN. It's also a costly attack (150 shield point for each unit)
It could be made MUCH more lethal and destructive by switching Setsura to particle cannon mode though...

Suuure thing, I love G Gundam because I consider it as super robot show.
Though, I know you're not the only one who hate the cheese, so I'm sorry. (I bet there WILL be flame when this happen in story)
Thanks for the opinion, by the way
Oh, and additionally, when using EMP mode, both Setsura unit will be rendered inoperable after the attack, but not when executed using particle cannon mode.

^ Not knowing when to stop talking of course, she also saw most people as inferior. In short, a snobby alpha bitch wannabe.
She mellowed a LOT, thankfully.
Speaking of Cecilia, she, Madoka and Houki also will get a combination attack that will make Gundam Jesus proud.

I can make an excuse for her... Ohohohoho
At best, I can only think that when Aries states that he's giving up the class rep position, Cecilia starts giving an extremely egoistic speech that trespasses on racism and sexism. This angers Aries enough to take back his declaration of surrender. This is mostly due to how uncomfortable the class starts looking during Cecilia's speech.

Well, that's actually done in Sacred Twins too... considering that Ichika has anger issue though...
Note that in canon, Ichika didn't call her out until last moment. This is a reflection of typical Japanese's passive-agressive social method.

With a few exceptions, I find that most of this "nu roots" music is to authentically inspired reggae what Johnny Hallyday is to rock and roll: a pretty fair forgery at best, and a travesty at worst.

President Hezzleton E. Simmons, 1933-1951
Hezzleton E. Simmons, known affectionately as "Prez Hez" to the school's students, raised admissions standards to control enrollment, a policy that was precipitated by severe space constraints at the University. President Simmons persuaded his conservative board to apply for funds from two federal work-relief agencies, the Works Progress Administration and the Public Works Administration, to build Simmons Hall and the first student center.
At the request of Akron students, popular band leader Fred Waring composes a fight song for the school. The Akron Blue and Gold premieres on Waring's weekly radio show. The song's name comes from the University's colors, which originally were adopted by Buchtel College.
Demobilized World War II veterans flood college campuses nationwide, including Akron. Every conceivable space on or near campus is converted to classroom space to handle the "G.I. Bulge."
Akron voters approve levies that enable the construction of Ayer Hall and what would eventually be named Crouse Hall. Wanting to maximize the use of taxpayer dollars, the Board insists on plain, rectangular structures.

BERKELEY — Elizabeth Echols, of Oakland, and Tony Thurmond, of Richmond, likely will square off in the race for the East Bay state Assembly seat in the November general election, with 100 percent of the voting precincts in Alameda and Contra Costa counties reporting from the Tuesday primary.
But both counties are still counting absentee ballots. Echols got the most votes so far, with 13,865, or about 31 percent out of a field of eight, with Thurmond getting 10,387 votes, or 23 percent of the vote.
Attorney Pamela Price, of Oakland, showed up behind Thurmond in third place with 7,625 votes. The district, which stretches from Oakland to Hercules, had no incumbent because Democrat Nancy Skinner is termed out.
Echols said even though she has never been elected to a public office, voters understood that her background working in the Clinton administration as executive director of the Electronic Commerce Working Group, then as director of the U.S. Green Building Council and later as the western regional director of the Small Business Administration involved writing policy and getting legislation passed.
"Most people do understand that I have worked on policy, and I do have experience in bringing people together to pass legislation," Echols said Wednesday.
Thurmond was happy in second place, a showing that gets him to the general election in November.
"I'm optimistic and grateful to the voters," he said. "This is a testament to the great grass-roots campaign we ran, powered by people who care about making positive changes in the community."
He pledged to "run a campaign powered by people and not by money."
The field of candidates was diverse and included Thurmond, a Democrat; Price, a Democrat; Clarence Hunt, a Democrat from Berkeley; Rich Kinney, a Republican from San Pablo; Sam Kang, a Democrat from Emeryville; Eugene Ruyle, a Peace and Freedom Party member from Oakland; Echols; and Bernt Wahl, an independent from Berkeley.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today encouraged Lincoln residents to voluntarily conserve outdoor water use this summer by following the designated day schedule instituted two years ago. She encouraged good conservation practices as the unpredictable summer months approach and the state continues to experience dry conditions.
The Lincoln area has had below normal precipitation for the month of May, with Platte River flows also below normal. The Platte River wellfield that supplies Lincoln with its drinking water is 93 percent full. The reservoir systems on the North Platte River that the City relies on for water are only 35 to 40 percent full.
"With the coming summer months, it's reassuring to know that our water supply is in good shape," said Mayor Seng. "But we know from experience that the weather and the corresponding potential drought conditions can change quickly." The Mayor's Water Conservation Task Force is encouraging citizens of Lincoln to practice water conservation through the summer.
Properties with street addresses ending in an even number, including zero, are asked to voluntarily limit outdoor water use (watering lawns and washing vehicles) to Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Properties with addresses ending in odd numbers are asked to voluntarily limit outdoor watering to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Those property owners with more than one street address at the same location can choose either daily schedule and notify the Lincoln Water System (LWS) of their decision.
LWS Chief Engineer Jerry Obrist said residents have done a good job conserving outdoor water in the past. He reminded residents that the City's water fees are structured to encourage conservation. "The more water you use, the higher your rate, so those who water excessively this summer can expect high water bills," Obrist said.
Water is billed by the unit. One unit is 100 cubic feet of water or about 750 gallons. The price is 99.5 cents per unit for the first eight units (about 6,000 gallons). The price increases to $1.38 per unit for the next 15 units (11,250 gallons). It increases again to $2.10 per unit for every 750 gallons above 15 units. A complete description of water rates and the City's Water Management Plan are available on the City Web site, lincoln.ne.gov, under Public Works and Utilities.
In addition to following the designated day system, LWS and the Mayor's Water Conservation Task Force recommend:
Obrist encouraged those who have automatic lawn irrigation systems to set them to follow the designated watering days system. He said many Lincoln citizens have already set their systems to operate in the morning, the cooler part of the day.
"Our statistics show that enough people are conforming to our conservation suggestions that our peak time for water usage has shifted from later in the day to earlier in the day," said Obrist. "Residents have always shown a willingness to assist with our water management practices in the past. I'm confident they'll follow suit this time as well, and we appreciate their help." Obrist said that the use of designated days also helps to level the daily usage of water throughout the week.

CSS Neuse
Source: William H. Rowland Papers, East Carolina Manuscript Collection #876
Staff Person: Lynette Lundin
This photograph is from Collection #876/12 William H. Rowland Papers (1861-1971). The Hull remnant was of the Confederate ironclad gunboat CSS NEUSE. It was set on fire by Confederate troops to prevent being captured in March of 1865. It was found in the Neuse River and raised after many problems due to lack of funds and ownership controversies. This is one of many 4×5 negatives taken during the archaeology dig in which they recovered 15,000 artifacts. I think this is a truly amazing collection. There is a finding aid online for this collection and you can click this link to get to it: Manuscript Collection 876.

Disaster anniversaries
The last week of March is really busy for Anchorage Public Library this year. We are marking the anniversaries of two huge, environmental disasters and hosting a one-of-a-kind art installation starring our resident dragon. In addition, Friends of the Library is hosting a fundraiser; and that "sharing good ideas" event, TEDxAnchorage, is back in town.
Exxon Valdez
Twenty-five years ago, in 1989, shortly after midnight on March 24, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez struck Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound, spilling more than 11 million gallons of crude oil. The spill, the largest in U.S. history at the time, tested the abilities of local, national, and industrial organizations to prepare for, and respond to, a disaster of such magnitude.
A display on the spill and its aftermath is on the third floor at Loussac. Go to http://www.pwsrcac.org/announcements/25-years-exxon-valdez-oil-spill for more information about the oil spill.
Luminescence: A Dragon's Tale
Don't miss Loussac Library's on-site, collaborative art installation featuring a dragon of light playing along the 36th Avenue side of the building through Saturday, March 29. Each night, a different local artist will add another light element to the 9-11 p.m. Then the show moves into the Assembly Chambers filling the space with a "luminescent art installation featuring projection mapping." The Luminescence installation will be open from 10 am-6 pm.
Good Friday Earthquake
Fifty years ago, at 5:36 p.m. on March 27, the Good Friday Earthquake hit our state.
The violent shaking erupted without warning across South Central Alaska. The 9.2 quake was the most powerful ever in North America. It raged for nearly five minutes. The earthquake and ensuing tsunami took 118 lives; thousands were left in the snow without shelter, food and water. http://ready.alaska.gov/64Quake
This anniversary, the focus is on making sure residents are prepared for the next big earthquake. An exhibit on the '64 Earthquake, along with numerous books and free information on preparedness, will be on display at Loussac.
Beyond the Stacks
Beyond the Stacks, the Friends of the Library's premiere fundraiser, is March 28 from 6-9 p.m., in the Downtown Hilton Ballroom. The evening event features silent and live auctions with items like an old fashioned wooden card catalog, a wildlife viewing adventure for two to St. Paul Island and a one-hour flight in a historic WWII war bird.
Donations from the Friends are vital to the programs, events and enhanced services the library provides. Help support the library while having a great time at Beyond the Stacks. Buy tickets and find out more about the event at: www.friendsapl.org .
Spend an afternoon listening to ideas worth spreading. TEDxAnchorage, a spinoff of the nationally-acclaimed TED talks, features 10 speakers giving their version of the theme: "Community Re-imagined: Harnessing the Power of Fun!" Among them is Youth Librarian Linda Klein will explain how dogs are helping kids learn to read at the library.
Two out-of-state guests: Stella Grizont and Drew Dudley, known for their TEDx talks, are also among the speakers. Stella founded WOOPAAH, a company that creates play experiences for companies to improve its employees' work experience. Drew Dudley's TEDxToronto talk has over a million views. The live talks will be mixed with videos of popular TED talks from around the world on our theme. The free event in Loussac's Wilda Marston Theatre runs from 12-7 p.m. March 29.
Proposition 3
Proposition 3: the Facilities Capital Improvements bond on the April ballot includes $2.75M to help renovate Loussac's dangerous, deteriorating entrance. The new entrance will be safer, more welcoming and easier to find. The cost of the bond is only $0.50 a month for the average family. You can help bring the city's most visited public facility into the 21st century! Please vote on April 1st.
Toni Massari McPherson is Anchorage Public Library's Community Relations Coordinator. To find out more about what is going on at your libraries, go to www.anchoragelibrary.org.

New post on my blog :
Your khaki jacket looks so modern and chic, very smartly paired with the pretty black dress, love the statement necklace and ankle boots. Hope you're having a good week so far.ReplyDelete
I do like skater dresses but I don't wear them very often. Probably because I realized the one I got is a bit too short (ups) so I have to always combine it with tights...speaking of which, wearing a skirt with boots (minus the tights) is what spring is all about:) especially the beginning of spring....I do love your combo, the booties are so cute and they go great with the outfit. I imagine you're also very comfortable in them (because I have a similar pair). Comfortable and chic, what more could one ask for, right?ReplyDelete
Have a lovely day:)!
p.s. I really like your manicure...and that necklace!ReplyDelete
Hey sweetie! You' re looking very lovely! Im you new follower and I'm looking forward for you new post! Greets from Poland :)ReplyDelete

When Norman Hajjar rides around the country, he rides around the country. The long distance driver has just finished an epic 24-day, 12,000-mile national tour, driving a stock Tesla S model electric automobile.
Hajjar's journey began in the Pacific Northwest, traversing Washington and Oregon before crossing California from top to bottom and heading east — to Maine, via Wyoming and South Dakota. Then he drove the Tesla south to Florida, then back north to Pennsylvania before turning west and retracing the route back to California.
The epic jaunt was an attempt to set a Guinness record for electric vehicle driving and also something of a publicity stunt: Hajjar steered the $89,770 Tesla on behalf of his employer, the electric vehicle software and analytics company Recargo, as part of a public call for a better national network of electric vehicle charging stations.
Hajjar is managing director of PlugInsights, which is Recargo's research division.
The entire drive took three weeks and three days, involved more than 100 stops at charging stations and daily 14- to 16-hour stints behind the wheel.
The point, Hajjar said, was "to amplify the point that the electric vehicle has come of age. The only thing that's holding back this category is the lack of a fast charging infrastructure."
The eccentric route, which ended Monday afternoon at Recargo's headquarters in Venice, was determined less by scenery or the location of Hajjar's relatives than by available Tesla "Supercharger" stations, which are dotted around the country. It was also limited by Tesla's advertised 260-mile driving range.
Hajjar estimates his average drive per charge, over the length of the 12,184-mile trip, was 120 to 130 miles. He'd stop at Supercharger stations, and fill the average one-hour charging time by getting witness testimonials to support his Guinness effort, by practicing guitar, or by using FaceTime to catch up with his family.
He puts the cost of the drive for a gas-powered vehicle at about $1,700. For him, in total, the cost of meals and motels was well under that, he said — in part because he did a lot of what he called "Tesla camping."
"I'd just keep driving until I got drowsy, and then I'd pull off the road," he said. "Sometimes that would be at 3 in the morning, so there was no point in getting a hotel room."
Palo Alto-based Tesla sold about 23,000 cars last year.

SLIMFAST FOR SALE, Former Iowa center Brennan Cougill talked with reporters after Tuesday's Prime Time League games in North Liberty about his academic ineligibility.
How he found out: "I got the news earlier this morning, SLIMFAST long term. Buy SLIMFAST from canada, Coach McCaffery came and got me during the (Iowa basketball camp) I was helping at. We went into the office, buy cheap SLIMFAST, Buy SLIMFAST online cod, we met for about an hour. He said my appeal (of Cougill's second semester grades) was denied."
How disappointing was the news?: "I was pretty disappointed, SLIMFAST without a prescription. I know I didn't get my full effort in, SLIMFAST FOR SALE. Buy SLIMFAST without prescription, I could have done way better. I was disappointed — I let my team down, SLIMFAST pharmacy, SLIMFAST coupon, I let my coaches down. Most importantly, buy generic SLIMFAST, SLIMFAST recreational, I let myself down. It was a dream come true for me to be at Iowa, where can i order SLIMFAST without prescription. That dream's been taken away."
How surprising was the news?: SLIMFAST FOR SALE, "I was just kind of shocked. Is SLIMFAST safe, You just knew it was coming, the way it was taking so long, purchase SLIMFAST for sale. SLIMFAST no prescription, I was right on the border for GPA."
What class grade was appealed?: "It was just the whole (second semester). It was just one class, SLIMFAST pictures, Where to buy SLIMFAST, it was the whole (semester)."
What are the future plans?: "I'm going to play juco (basketball) at Kirkwood, and then (Iowa coach Fran McCaffery) said if I proved to him that I wanted to be here, generic SLIMFAST, Australia, uk, us, usa, and that I wouldn't be academically ineligible again, he (said) he would recruit me, cheap SLIMFAST no rx. SLIMFAST treatment, It's not a guarantee that I would have a spot, but he said he wanted be on his team, no prescription SLIMFAST online. He said, 'You might have a scholarship.'"
Does Cougill intend to return to Iowa?: "Yeah."
Did Cougill do extra work after the semester to boost his grade point average?: Yeah, I took a three-week summer course, SLIMFAST FOR SALE. Herbal SLIMFAST, I think it was Elements of Art or something, I can't remember, order SLIMFAST from United States pharmacy. Discount SLIMFAST, I had to get an A and I got a B."
Does the renewed faith in the program from the fans make it more disappointing that he won't be with the team this season?: "The fans have faith in me, they showed great support for me, SLIMFAST from canada. Purchase SLIMFAST, My first year at Iowa has been a wonderful experience. The fans have been great, order SLIMFAST online c.o.d, Canada, mexico, india, my team's been great. SLIMFAST FOR SALE, I've had a lot of fun. I'm just kind of bummed about the whole thing."
How close was he to being eligible?: "I was like .01 away from being eligible."
What has he learned from the experience?: "Not to slack off in school, SLIMFAST without prescription. SLIMFAST forum, Time management — balancing time between athletics and academics."
An already thin frontcourt is now hampered by the loss of an experienced player.
It was becoming obvious, at least from the play this summer, that senior center Jarryd Cole, sophomore forward Eric May and freshman forward Melsahn Basabe were in line to be the frontcourt starters. That won't change.
Andrew Brommer seemed to thrive with the additional minutes he got late last season when Cougill was in the doghouse of former coach Todd Lickliter (it now appears academics was the reason for that), SLIMFAST FOR SALE. His minutes will increase.
Incoming freshman Zach McCabe has looked comfortable in the '3' role this summer, so he should see significant minutes.
It's hard to guess how much of a contribution Devon Archie will make. Archie is a fourth-year player who didn't play at all last season because of injuries, and the rust has certainly showed this summer. SLIMFAST FOR SALE, He has to improve his skills at both ends of the court if he wants playing time.
The loss of Cougill means Iowa will have 10 scholarship players this season. Depth has been improved with the addition of at least three walk-ons, but the impact of those players looks to be felt more on the practice court than game situations.
If Cougill doesn't return — reading between the lines here, it looks like he has a lot to prove to McCaffery to get another shot at playing for the Hawkeyes — that leaves four scholarships to be filled with the 2011 recruiting class. McCaffery will no doubt be looking for frontcourt players.

Every year, the North American cycling world gathers in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the annual Interbike trade show. This year we were there to check out the latest gear and cycling trends, and these are a few of the most interesting things we saw. Check out our photo album on Facebook for even more shots from the show.
SRAM: the Chicago-based drivetrain experts had a huge booth and tons of new gear on display. On the mountain bike side, we were excited to check out the new XX1 system in person. Designed around 1 chainring in front:
And a whopping 11 speeds in the rear cassette, new XX1 promises to be a simpler, more durable and lighter setup for a range of riders:
And for those that are nostalgic for SRAM's first product, there is also the return of GripShift, this time with high-end and smooth turning ball bearing internals:
On the road side, SRAM has expanded their lineup of WiFli extended range gearing to include SRAM Red, Force and Apex groups – with up to 11-32 cassettes, these 2×10 systems actually offer a wider range of gearing than most triple setups:
Shimano: Not to be outdone by their American rivals, Shimano was busy showing off their updated top-of-the-line Dura-Ace 9000 series road group. Beyond refinements to the clean aesthetics, the big news is that Dura-Ace now goes to 11 speeds in the back:
Other updates include improved ergonomics on the STI shifters, dual-bolt brakes, and a lengthened lever arm on the front derailleur:
Another interesting change, from both a design and practicality standpoint, is the new 4-arm crankset, which allows for the use of compact or standard chainrings on the same spider:
Dura-Ace Di2 has also been tweaked, incorporating advances made with the Ultegra Di2 system that allow for a more compact and efficient design:
Shimano developments weren't just for their high-end products, as the affordable SLX mountain bike drivetrain received an overhaul, including a brake upgrade to match the short-stroke Servo-Wave levers of pricier XT & XTR groups:
Keeping on the mountain bike front, there are also updates on the way for hydration packs. Camelbak has made changes to their 2013 packs with an improved NV ventilation system on their high volume packs, like the M.U.L.E. and H.A.W.G., while the brand new Volt packs feature a lumbar water reservoir that keeps the weight supported around your waist:
Osprey Packs also has updates on the way to their popular packs for 2013, with tweaks to their water bladders, shoulder straps and more, plus increased offerings in women's specific designs:
We also ran into mountain bike legend Hans Rey in the hall at Interbike. Hans is marking his 25 years of riding GT bikes with his hardcover coffee table book, "A Life of Mountain Bike Adventures" – just in time for holiday gift season:
