And put down that cell phone in school zones!
Heart 2 Heart Montessori Academy in Willow Park, TX just west of Fort Worth has been accused of holding down children with duct tape during nap time.
It's graduation time in Acadiana and the 2014 rehearsals and graduation ceremonies have begun. It's also the time of year to knock off the dust on T. K. Hulin's '(As They Pass Me By) Graduation Night'.
With schools all over Acadiana closing the past two days because of inclement weather, a question arises. Will these days have to be made up?
Some young boys from Bridgewater, Massachtusetts come to the rescue of Danny, a first-grader, proving there is still good in the world. A video to warm your heart and give you hope for the youth of today.
A school in Richmond, Virginia has recently started enforcing a new rule that has parents up in arms. Following instructions laid out by the federal government, children are not allowed to bring their own bagged lunch to school without a note from a physician.
Middle school children in Long Island, NY won't be able to play with footballs or soccer balls during recess. Just more validation, America ain't what she used to be.
Common Core is being integrated into more classrooms this year with a complete implementation by the 2014-2015 school year.
The man you are about to meet makes kids cry at school, and usually allows most of the student body to watch.
Life is short, and so are summer vacations!

12 hour shooting marathon! (Part Deux)
What a sad place, even when there's people here.
Not quite abandoned, there's a small grocery store still in business…
I saw this frames within frames within frames…
Time: 1530 hrs – 1600 hrs
I saw this stairs which is dripping with water (there's probably a leaking roof/watertank some where) I thot that this is wha's urban decay is all about. Maybe not. SO anyhow I wrangled one of the photographer in the group to posed for me. I trie dit with available light only, but the lighting was flat and the colours are dull. So I set up 2 x F56 flash, one on either side of Ahmenchan (that's the dewd there..), with the left flash power set at 1/2 power and the right one at 1/4 power and just flashing away *grins*
I use a high shutter speed of 1/125th to kill of the ambient light and an aperture of f/11 to maximize DOF.
Oh, this is a test shot, will be back later to do a proper shoot, don't tell anyone I tell you first, okay?
Later, while stopping at the local mosque for a prayer break, some of the participants began practicing their panning techniques on some passing vehicles.
To tell you frankly, I can never get it done right too *grins*.
My preferred technique for panning shots is with flash. Set a slow enough shutter speed, with passing cars at 5 feet away, a shutter speed of 1/60 is enough to ensure the background becomes 'streaky' while an aperture of f/8 – f/11 is needed to ensure enough DOF for the moving vehicle while it COMING into view.
Sometimes, the moving vehicles moves too fast, or the panning movement is not fast enough, everything will comes out blurry. Oh dear. That's why I use flash to freeze movement like my motocross pic here.
Time to move on tho, we were supposed to ride the KL Monorail line to shoot some (more) interesting 'stuff' along the way…
I hold up the foot traffic out of the Monorail for all of 1 second to get this one (snap)shot. *grins*
This has got to be the busiest traffic light junction in the whole of Kuala Lumpur (Jalan Raja Chulan Jalan TAR junction)!
Paranoid shop keeper and his/her mannequin sentry
Time: 1600 hrs – 1700 hrs
The "NO" in "Monorail". No polariser filter was used, tweaked saturation in the old laptop.
Time: 1800 hrs – 1900 hrs
Dinner break!
Time: 1900 hrs – 2000 hrs
Time: 2000 hrs – 0000 hrs

Hey Ted salam. Shooting Marathon? What's that all about? If you don't mind me asking…
12 hours shooting marathon is an outing organised for CLub ALpha members where we start shooting from 12 noon till 12 midnite.
nice picturee laa Sifoo ted
lain kali leh buat lagi hehehe
Whoa, no wonder you needed so much flash power!
whoaaa…cooll laa sifoo..menyesal aku tak pose aritu..ahahahah…
Looks fun! I like the pics in this series alot
Dear Ted,
I haven't not been stopping admiring your works though I have not visited your dotcom for quite sometimes. Your photography works will always be source of reference and ideas. When photographing I always remember what you had taught me viz to have a theme. I bet your style in photographing has great impact to many, especially to my daughter and me.
Best Regards,
Kak Zain
Thank You ms zainzubir.

An amendment to the fiscal 2012 transportation appropriations bill introduced in the Senate would block proposed changes to truck driver hours of service rules.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., introduced the amendment Wednesday, raising the odds Congress will step in to resolve the contentious decade-old issue. Ayotte joins Republican leaders in the House already on record opposing hours of service changes, including Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John Mica, R-Fla., also oppose the proposed changes.
"This is yet another heavy-handed federal regulation that would disrupt business operations and increase costs for the trucking industry and consumers," said Ayotte.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration faces an Oct. 28 deadline to issue a final rule — the agency's fifth attempt to reform hours of service since 2000. Last year, the Department of Transportation agency proposed cutting the daily driving limit from 11 to 10 hours and revising a 34-hour restart provision.
That provision allows truckers to get back on the road 34 hours after completing their previous work week. The FMCSA proposed requiring drivers to spend two consecutive midnight-to-6 a.m. periods off-duty before starting a new week.
The Teamsters union, consumer activist group Public Safety and highway safety advocates argue those changes are necessary to prevent fatal accidents. The American Trucking Associations and other trucking and shipping groups say safety already has improved under the current hours of service rules.

FRIDAY, Sept. 3 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists report that they
may have detected signs of autism in 6-month-old babies, but it's
too early to know if the findings could lead to earlier diagnosis
of the condition.
Currently, doctors can only diagnose autism in the second year
of life or later, Robert T. Schultz, director of the Center for
Autism Research at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, explained
in an interview. Earlier diagnosis could make a difference for kids
because "generally, the feeling in the field is that the earlier
the intervention, the better the child's outcome," said Schultz,
who was not involved in the study but is familiar with the findings
of the new research.
The researchers studied 25 babies who had siblings with autism,
putting them at higher risk for the disorder, and 25 other babies
whose families didn't have a history of autism.
The investigators allowed the babies to figure out how to play
with a toy while their caregivers sat nearby. The babies at higher
risk of autism spent more time fixated on the toy than the other
babies and less time looking at their caregivers when the
caregivers weren't engaging them.
"This is about social initiation. The baby siblings of children with autism looked less often and with less duration. It's something parents should keep an eye on," said study co-author Rebecca Landa, director of Kennedy Krieger Institute's Center for Autism and Related Disorders.
But the differences between high-risk and lower-risk babies at
this age may be too small for parents to notice, said Schultz. He
suggested that parents should focus on looking for possible signs
of autism in their children after the age of 1 year. Lack of eye
contact is one red flag, he noted.
The study, published in the September issue of the
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, saw no difference in cause-and-effect learning abilities between the two groups of children.
In another recent study, researchers at the New York State
Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities reported
seeing other subtle signs of autism in infants.
When they looked at babies who had spent time in the neonatal
intensive care unit, they found that those later diagnosed with an
autism spectrum disorder were more likely to have had differences
in visual processing and abnormal muscle tone at 1 month of age
than the other babies.
That research is published in the September issue of

Teaching Scientists To Become Entrepreneurs, One Cold Call At A Time
"Stanford lecturer and former serial entrepreneur Steve Blank, who teaches the class along with Mohr Davidow General Partner Jon Feiber and True Ventures founder John Burke, said he thinks it could permanently change how companies get started, because it forces students to find and talk to prospective customers immediately as a way to shape their products."
$150 million gift will promote entrepreneurship and innovation to fight poverty
- "More than a billion people live on less than $1.25 a day. That's just not right." Robert E. King, Stanford MBA '60
- "Entrepreneurship, innovation, and improved management are powerful ways to help alleviate poverty," said Stanford University President John L. Hennessy.
- "Many people are doing relief or aid operations, but at the institute (Stanford Institute for Innovation in Developing Economies) we will be asking how we can stimulate entrepreneurs and business ideas so that the people receiving aid today can become self-sufficient so they won't need aid in the future," Professor Hau Lee, Stanford
Roosevelt Island Resident: Why Roosevelt Island and Stanford
Alex Fletcher is a Roosevelt Island resident and chemistry teacher.
The first time I laid eyes on Roosevelt Island I knew it was the only place in New York City that I would want to live. Where else in the city can you have a view of the Manhattan Skyline and river access and still be only minutes from midtown? The peaceful nature and tight knit community make Roosevelt Island feel like a peaceful suburb stuck right in the middle of the East River! You actually get to know your neighbors and going to the diner on a Sunday morning is as much a social event as the numerous community activities that occur practically every night. Living "up north" in the Manhattan Park building, I stroll daily down to Main Street and see how the island is changing day by day, with new stores coming in and improvements being made to the island facilities. It makes me proud to live here and excited for what the future holds for Roosevelt Island.
The intention for the community when it was founded was to be a forward thinking, inclusive population that demonstrated how better living could be accomplished in an urban environment. I can't think of a better way to continue that tradition than to have Stanford join the Roosevelt Island community. The partnership has the potential to enrich the lives of island residents, Stanford students and New Yorkers beyond the scope of what is currently possible given that the city lacks a cutting edge research facility in the applied sciences. As a chemistry teacher, I see the future through the eyes of a scientist. I tell my students, "The more we learn about the world around us, the faster we are to build a brighter future." Stanford is at the forefront of creating new ways of understanding our world and I believe that through their work that a brighter future is right around the corner.

The Stanford d.school: 3 Days in One Minute
Take a look inside the 3-day executive education program, an experience about putting the principles of design thinking to work in an active, participatory learning environment that engages and challenges.
We love collaborating with anyone who embodies a posture of learning, doing, and teaching others. One of the most motivated student audiences we host at the d.school are executives from industry, government, and non-profit organizations. These executives pressure test our methodologies against real world challenges with real world constraints. Having been acquainted with traditional executive education programs, we are amazed at watching executives' bias towards action during our workshops. The video above was shot over the course of a 3-day workshop with 88 executives last July.

The Stanford d.school: Making Space
Watch an overview of the Stanford d.school's Environments Collaborative, their approach to workspace design, and the process of moving the d.school to it's new home.
For us, space is a useful, malleable tool for hosting a learning experience. We continue to be inspired by the ways that students and professors alike use the space to set the tone of events and suggest behaviors forexperiences they create. Our teaching space is the product of an evolutionary process: over the course of four moves in four years, d.school students have hacked and manipulated each space to suit their needs. We have learned from these explorations and continue to evolve our space with each new student experience.

Tina Seelig (Stanford Technology Ventures Program) on Stanford + NYC
Tina Seelig, PhD (pictured in red jacket, above, teaching a Stanford course on creativity) is the Executive Director for the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, the entrepreneurship center at Stanford University's School of Engineering.
Our team at the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) is privileged to play a role in educating the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators, preparing them to see the world as a place rich with opportunity and full of potential.
As the entrepreneurship program at Stanford's School of Engineering, centered in the department of Management Science and Engineering, we see our job as helping students to gain the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are needed to turn the challenges around them into opportunities, and to build a better world. Whether they launch a startup, join an established company, or choose another path, these skills will be pivotal in helping them progress through their careers and to contribute to society.
At STVP, our philosophy is that it is no longer good enough for engineers and scientists to come out of school with purely technical training. They must have the entrepreneurial skills needed to bring their ideas to life. This is important for them as individuals, for the companies they found or join, and for the nation as a whole. We do this by providing them with the knowledge they need as well as experiences that hone their skills. They graduate with an entrepreneurial mindset, fully understanding that the challenges they face are opportunities, and that as entrepreneurs their role is to do much more than is imaginable with much less than seems possible.
Since the earliest days of Stanford, the university has been building bridges between our research labs, classrooms, and Silicon Valley to create scalable ventures that fuel the local and national economy. An iconic example occurred as early as 1939 when Engineering Dean Fred Terman encouraged students William Hewlett and David Packard to launch a company to commercialize an audio oscillator based upon work that Hewlett had developed as a graduate student in Terman's lab. Since then, Stanford has fostered the creation of an ever-growing list of technology companies, including Varian, Sun Microsystems, Cisco Systems, Yahoo, Rambus and Google. We would look forward to the bringing our knowledge and experience to New York City to help shape and support the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, built upon the unique resources and culture of the community.
Our work at Stanford is attracting recognition and support on a national level. For example, STVP was recently awarded a five-year grant to launch a national center dedicated to unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit in undergraduate engineering students across the country. This National Center for Engineering Pathway to Innovation, or Epicenter, will be connecting the nation's 350 engineering schools with the goal of igniting interest in entrepreneurship and sharing best practices in entrepreneurship education.
The NSF has also asked Stanford to help leading scientists commercialize new technologies through their new Innovation Corps program. Teams from around the country, including faculty members and PhD students, are participating in an intense, 10-week program designed to help them discover and test scalable business models based upon their discoveries. The first cohort of 21 teams is participating in this program right now.
In all of our efforts, we will build upon our deep experience with online education. For the past ten years we have offered a free collection of materials on entrepreneurship that is both extensive and growing. Our ECorner website has thousands of videos and podcasts of entrepreneurial thought leaders, most of whom are from Silicon Valley. We look forward to expanding this collection with speakers from New York City. Along with other efforts, this will allow us to build strong ties to the New York City community of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and company leaders.
New York City holds a very special place in my heart. My parents both grew up, went to college, and worked in New York City, and I grew up in New Jersey. I spent endless hours in "The City," taking full advantage of the world-class cultural environment that continues to thrive. To me, New York City is an amazing jewel, poised for entrepreneurial growth. My colleagues and I are extremely enthusiastic about the potential to contribute to Stanford's efforts to build a New York City campus. We look forward to building a vital bridge between Palo Alto and New York City, between Stanford and Roosevelt Island, and between the present and the future.

Jane Chen (CEO & Founder, Embrace) talks about Stanford's unique culture of entrepreneurship + NYC
Noah Weiss (foursquare) on Stanford + NYC
Noah Weiss (pictured above, in the Stanford shirt with his NYC kickball team) is Product Manager at Foursquare. He lives and works in New York City. Noah graduated from Stanford with a B.A. in Science, Technology, and Society.
Everyone agrees more startups could help push NYC's economy beyond its traditional strengths: finance, media, and advertising. An influx of new engineers would help the cause. Fortunately, NYC is already filled with strong engineering programs within its five boroughs and surrounded by universities in the northeast that produce thousands of new engineering grads every year.
Yet still, Silicon Alley continues to live up to its diminutive nickname relative to Silicon Valley. There are no shortage of reasons why, or essays written investigating the topic. One significant explanation is clear just by looking at a map: Silicon valley has Stanford University sitting at the epicenter, whereas NYC is over 3,000 miles away. The university has been just one of many factors in explosion of tech startups (many of which were founded by faculty, alumni, and students) in the last half-century that have sprouted up within a short drive of the campus. But Stanford's unique culture of entrepreneurship, combined with its top ranking engineering programs, has undoubtedly played a major role.
No matter what you study at Stanford, it's hard to graduate without wanting at some point to found a company — or at least work at a fast-growing startup. From freshman orientation when you walk around buildings named after companies founded at Stanford that cover the Nasdaq billboard in Times Square; to junior year when you try to sign up for a class called E145: Technology Entrepreneurship, only to find enrollment is threefold oversubscribed and requires a written application for the privilege of listening to tech CEOs and venture capitalists hold Q&A classes; to the senior year career fairs when the lines next to Google, Facebook, and the latest hot venture back companies dwarf the Fortune 100 stalwarts like GE and Accenture; it is nearly impossible to leave Stanford immune to the startup bug.
I felt that personally after graduating in 2008 when I moved back home to NYC to work for Google. It certainly wasn't a startup at the time, but it was the perfect training ground for learning how I would build my own company. Earlier this year, I left to work at startup born and raised in NYC: foursquare. My next stop a few years from now: founding my own company, hopefully in the city, and likely with a handful of Stanford grads and foursquare alumni.
That's a fairly typical path for computer science grads. It hasn't surprised me to find my engineering classmates working at the top tech companies, from the giants like Google and Microsoft, to fast-growing adolescents like Facebook and Twitter, to startups like Quora and foursquare. I expected that. What has been startling is seeing the friends who moved to NYC to work as strategy consultants and investment bankers — that transcontinental pipeline of talent has been well-honed for years — move in droves to work at local New York startups. From a banker turned data analyst at Yipit, to a strategy consultant turned operations manager at Birchbox, to a management consultant turned venture capitalist associate at Union Square Ventures, the surprise has been my non-technical Stanford friends cutting their salaries in half or more to get a chance to help build a company from scratch. They, too, couldn't escape Stanford's entrepreneurship bug.
As a native New Yorker who could never imagine living further than five minutes from the nearest subway line, I spent years at Stanford selling classmates from all majors on why there's no better place to work than NY in your twenties. Now, as I sit on a flight to San Francisco to help foursquare recruit its next generation of engineers at the exact career fair I stood at four years ago, my task is also to convince students that building a career in tech in NYC is a worthwhile investment.
If Stanford had an engineering and business campus outpost in NYC, my pitch for new grads moving here would be markedly easier. The thousands of highly-trained engineers joining the workforce every year would certainly help. Even more useful would be that Stanford's culture of entrepreneurship would have to travel only a few subway stops instead of a few thousand miles. Foursquare would appreciate the influx of local talent, but the city itself would benefit even more from the droves of companies that would spring up around a StanfordNYC campus.
This Wednesday, I look forward to recruiting as many amazing Stanford engineers as I can from the career fair. I hope that two years from now, I won't have to travel nearly as far.
- Noah Weiss

The bigger the bank, the higher the fees
I'm glad I'm not a Bank of America customer. Apparently BofA is testing yet another new set of fees to boost its sagging revenues, according to the Wall Street Journal.
These fees would include a monthly charge for basic checking accounts, unless you maintain a certain balance, bank online or have a mortgage or other products with the bank.
It's not necessarily the fees that bother me the most about BofA (although $25 seems a bit ridiculous), it's the size of the bank. It's too big. And the bigger the institution, the more impersonal the service and, more importantly, if the bank isn't doing well, too many people can get caught in the crosshairs.
I remember my first bank account when I was in college. I didn't have much money and clearly recall paying a monthly fee for a checking account for years until I was able to obtain and maintain a certain balance. I don't think the fee was over $5 a month, and when you're poor, it certainly does seem as if everybody is nickel-and-diming you.
Then, sometime in the 1980s, free checking accounts became all the rage. Companies should learn that when you give something away for free, charging for it later will almost certainly result in some major backlash. When BofA tried to institute a $5 monthly fee for using a debit card last year, the outrage was enough to cause the bank to recant. According to J.D. Power and Associates, more people switched from bigger banks to smaller banks last year -- mostly because of fees.
A Javelin Strategy & Research report released Feb. 29 surveyed fees on basic checking accounts of 30 financial institutions and found that consumers are paying about 21 percent more for fees today than in 2006. And larger banks generally charge more in fees (about three times more!) than smaller or mid-size banks -- an average of $5.88 a month.
Smaller financial institutions that are run well by their CEOs -- meaning they appear to put their customer's financial needs above their own -- just seem to be a safer place to put your hard-earned cash. The fact that the big banks had to be bailed out in 2009 was frightening. When you are "too big to fail," you are probably too big, period.
So, I'll be sticking my cash with financial institutions that aren't so big that one or two missteps can cause an economy to collapse. And if fees are involved? If they're reasonable, I'll pay them, find a way around them or switch.

These are a few of the reasons that I have switched from a big bank to a local credit union. The little guy (and girl) can't afford to be "nickled" and "dimed" to death.

They must have been laughing their asses off the whole time.
These falls caused major anxiety at NASA. I had the job of reviewing these films….and some were films 25 years after the missions in order to better understand load-bearing and fall recovery mechanics for advanced suit designs group at NASA. The pressure spike in these suits upon falling was pretty high and caused some major puckered moments at mission control amongst the suit pukes.
Advanced suit design? So did NASA have plans to go back to the Moon or would these suits have been for going outside on the ISS?
Yup one tiny hole in that suit and pssst they were gone.
lol@hiding the truth in plain sight…. must be hard to see it with those koolaid colored glasses on however.
Yeah, because to make it all believable, we went to the trouble to build incredibly huge and insanely expensive rockets. Because that's what you do when you need to desperately fool the world – spend an incredible huge fortune on a big fake thing requiring thousands of people to work night and day toward this fraud. It's so unbelievably obvious to me now, thank-you so much.
Hey, we spent ALOT more money on other insane stuff. Lets see.. 14.7 Trillion and counting on insane stuff.
Now I myself believe we did go to the moon, but what we were shown isn't the "true" footage. Just like most things the government and media "feeds" us.
Those incredibly huge and insanely expensive Saturn rockets were built as launch vehicles for military spy & weather satellites, and after the Apollo missions were used to launch Skylab, for example. Development of rocket technology was also required for ICBMs – there was something called the Cold War going on after all.
It is a fallacy to state that all those costs were solely from Apollo; therefore your argument that men were put on the moon because it was to expensive not to have put men on the moon does not hold up.
All the so-called "evidence" ever presented to support the notion that the Apollo missions were faked (or that "we were never told the true story") has been repeatedly and severely debunked.
If you suddenly find yourself believing the "moon-landings-were-a-hoax" nonsense, this is an excellent indication that you are in need of either a) prescription medication or b) a life (or possibly c) both).
Regards & all,
Thomas L. Nielsen
How can you debunk the theory that we were only fed certain snippets of the moon landing recordings? It happens all the time today with military ops. Or the best example of all.. all these "closed door meetings" in D.C.
I'm not debunking "the theory that we were only fed certain snippets of the moon landing recordings", although I find that improbable, considering how important publicity was for those missions. After all, the US wanted people to see that they'd beaten the Russkies.
And if there are parts of the mission records that were not released, I'd guess that had more to do with personnel using profanity or discussing last month's Playmate than any more sinister motives.
What I consider debunked (thoroughly) is the "evidence" presented (over, and over, and over again) to "prove" that the moonlandings were faked.
Regards & all,

Of course, we are all living in the Matrix.
Amazing! Not one idiotic "The Apollo missions were faked!" response! Maybe people are getting better educated! Or maybe Guest lol is going to exhibit the usual room temperature IQ response to Apollo 11. The usual idiots say they either didn't go, or they died there.
Anyone with a bit of sense knows that not only did we go, but if we hadn't, the USSR would have made us look like idiots for trying to lie about it. We are talking 1969, people!
Truth be told, though, it may be low G, but if I fell in vacuum, I would be a little concerned.
"Amazing! Not one idiotic "The Apollo missions were faked!" response!" – Sadly, you spoke too soon (see above).
"Truth be told, though, it may be low G, but if I fell in vacuum, I would be a little concerned." – Personally, I'd be a lot concerned :-)

Because it's kinda hard to make the same stupid claim for all six times astronauts landed there.
By the time Apollo 17 landed the loons probably realized it was real.
I would have been more careful…

1st to belly-flop on the moon!!!
Jeebus. Moon rocks don't have their edges filed down by millions of years of wind, water, and rain like Earth rocks do. I can understand why the suit guys at NASA had a lot of pucker moments watching that.
Imagine the buzzkill of spending the three day return trip with your buddy's corpse sitting right next to you.
Ha Ha Gravity Still Sucks!
Maybe he was just hammered? LOL
what it is this site becoming?
There's no danger if you fall over on a Nevada film lot.
Paradise Ranch was so named as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Movie Ranches that sprang up in the Californian studio zone through the 1920s to '40s.
And while some brainwashed stooges still try claiming that the cost of building rockets in order to fake the Apollo missions would have been prohibitive, they conveniently ignore the fact that Saturn V rockets were developed before Apollo to launch military satellites. Costs nothing to lie about the payload, and no reason to let thousands of workers in on the lie.
OK, so we didn't actually go to the moon; does that mean we lost the space race, or did the Ruskies fake too?…..
"….the fact that Saturn V rockets were developed before Apollo to launch military satellites." – And the source for that is?

Brainwashed Stooge
Oh for gods sake…
We've got aerial footage of the moon landing sites from the lunar recon orbiter.
You can see the tracks left by the astronauts all around the descent stages.
Those descent stages couldn't have gotten there any way other than the saturn 5's they were supposed to have been launched by.
And something made those tracks and left huge tire marks driviing those lunar rovers, so your two options are either men or AMBULATORY ROBOTS from 40 years in the future.
you forget the best proof of the actual landing: russian telescopes. if there was something hoax about it, they would be glad to publish it in open press.
Don't know if you would believe me but I was so thinking Bennie Hill!!!
Dear sir, may I say that now its perfect, and thank you for the laughs
Why must thousands of workers engineers and support personnel have known that this was fake?
If you were just some guy in a workshop making the bracket that joined component A to component B on some part of the rocket, why would anyone at anytime tap you on the shoulder and whisper into your ear that there weren't any astronauts on the rocket?
Astronauts are routinely quaranteened before flights. The number of people that would have any contact with them at all would be minimal. To all intents, those thousands of workers were -as far as they knew- working on a manned moon mission.
Your crazy logic would suggest that no secret could ever be kept by the administration, because the White House would be obliged to share confidential information with everyone down to the Taiwanese guy who makes the aglets for the laces in some agent or special ops guy's boots.
There were huge numbers of people involved intimately with the Apollo project. The ones that would have had to be in on "The Big Hoax" include (in no particular order):
- Mission control personel
- Launch tower crew
- Recovery crew on the ships that picked up the returning astronauts
- Medical crew that checked the astronauts on their return
- The astronauts themselves
- The astronauts' families
- The crews of the radar and comm stations (and not just US ones) that tracked the missions
- The teams of people who faked the moon landing footage (and the footage from Apollos 12-17)
- NASA top level management
- Parts of the US government
I will admit that the above list may not strictly speaking run into the "thousands", but we're close.
As for my "cracy logic": See above. The guy who made the bristles for the mops used by the lady who cleaned the NASA mission control lavatories is not mentioned anywhere.

- Tasting menu the way to goFrostyDined on 9/19/2014Our table opted for the 4 course tasting menu and we were thoroughly impressed with our meal..I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I have had the pleasure of eating in Calgary in a long while. Kudos to the kitchen. Our waiter was wonderful, merci! A great night all around, will be back soon.Special Features:
- Portions are megaher.CofCalgaryDined on 9/18/2014Waitress asked my wife to step out because infant was being loud.Special Features:
- MenuOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/18/2014We have been many times and always enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Only criticism is it would be nice to see some different menu items. We specifically go here because it is in the neighbourhood, but new food items would be great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thank youOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/17/2014My friend and I enjoyed excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere. The plates we shared were beautifully presented, and were excellent value for dollar spent.Special Features:
- Steelhead TrougOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/14/2014I was disappointed that the Steelhead Trout recipe has been changed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unfortunately UnpredictableLiddyDined on 9/12/2014I have had exquisite prime rib at Bistro Rouge. My family has had a birthday dinner there with all meals beautifully prepared. On the other hand, I have twice tried to have a pleasant wine and share plates evening with a friend. On both occasions, the service was reluctant. The waitresses avoided serving us until flagged. They were completely helpless with wine lists, and they felt no need to return to refill wine glasses. Charcuterie plates were sad - bland meat and cheese selection, all in very small portions. Other small plates were uninspired as well. All in all, we were made to feel unwelcome. Not a good feeling for a restaurant - especially not a restaurant carrying the Rouge name.
- Excellent surpriseIgnacioDined on 9/12/2014We've lived in the neighborhood for 9 years and never ventured there. It was a great surprise. Food is incredibly delicious. We arrived at 6:45 which was the time of our reservation, and our table was ready. Our waiter was exceptionally dedicated, not intrusive. Prices were not a bargain, but it was worth every penny.Special Features:
- rougeDaisyDined on 9/12/2014First trip to Bistro Rouge. I found my main, the risotto, to be very greasy. We were reserved for 6:30 on a Friday. Our waiter was absolutely frenetic and tried to upsell us on everything. They really try to spin people through this place. Not impressed.
- disappointedDined on 9/12/2014our waitress was extremely negligent in her service- we had to wait constantly for any service at all and she seemed to give the impression she was above her job. The food was good but I was surprised to find very little lobster in my lobster dish- it was more of a pasta dish and not very much of it either. Very disappointing as we had looked forward to our evening as a celebration. Very strangely, also, we smelled pot several times which is not something you would expect in a restaurant of your calibre.
- Poor and Unprofessional ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/9/2014We just walked out in the middle of the appetizers. Why? 1. inadequate service (2 servers waiting on 14 tables - I counted) - this is not McDonald's. 2. server was in such a rush that he talked like a tape recorder in fast forward mode while not paying attention. If I want to be in a stressful environment, I can go back to work. 3. While opening our wine, the server suddenly left and checked on another table. He was still holding our bottle of wine!!! 4. My soup arrived lukewarm and needed to be reheated. The taste was also sub-standard. The server didn't even ask why I barely touched the soup and just took it away. When I brought the subject up, he didn't want to listen. He responded, "I have other customers to serve".
- Food was greatlovetoeatDined on 9/6/2014Food was very good, and waitress was also great to have as our server. Only notation I would make is if you make a reservation, make sure it is in the dining room and not the bar area. We were disappointed they set us in the bar as the dining room is MUCH nicerSpecial Features:
- Good as usualKootenaygirlDined on 9/6/2014Always good food and service. Was a little disappointed with the Chef's special Saturday night. A 4 course meal all picked by the chef. Portions were very small and the combination chosen was a bit unusual. Next time will stick to picking my own menu items. Price for the Chef's special was $60/couple.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/4/2014Our first time but a great experience Will be back for sure Great for celiacsSpecial Features:
- Chef's Menu was exquisiteOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/3/2014Chef's menu was a spectacular 4 course surprise offering ( appetizer, soup, entree and dessert) for $60 a person. Each course was multi layered in flavours, the best quality ingredients , very innovative presentation and a real treat !! The service was impeccable, water glasses filled in a timely low key way , and an appropriate amount of wine poured throughout the meal ( all too often the wine glass is filled initially and the customer has to drink sparingly to make it last). We will definitely come back to Bistro Rouge for special occasions or just for an evening with friends where we can talk and be guaranteed a fine dinner and evening.Special Features:
- Great place for a great mealFoodyDined on 9/1/2014We have been there many times, and will continue to go back. Mushroom and eggplant risotto was to die for!!! Menu changes regularly, so it's always fun to see what's new!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprising!nancy174Dined on 8/31/2014We went for my daughter's 15th birthday. The food is a bit expensive but so worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- very interesting menuOldGuyDined on 8/30/2014Food was great and a nice wine list. There was enough interesting things to take us back again to try something different.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellentlssgDined on 8/30/2014Delicious food, will definitely return The gnocchi was wonderfulSpecial Features:
- fantastic foodKarenDined on 8/29/2014A hidden gem with delicious food and great service. The owners came out to ask how our evening was which was a nice surprise. I later googled the owners and learned Paul Rogalski was on Iron Chef America. Highly recommend the gnocci with bolognese all made from scratch and the cauliflower fritters with hollandaise sauce. The food and service were amazing and very close to home. Will be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always satisfies!FoodyDined on 8/17/2014Went with my two kids and husband. My husband ordered the hamburger and loved it. The fries were a particularly big hit with us all. They have a mesquite seasoning on them that has a bit of salt and a hint of sweet. My son had two orders of the spatzle and we only brought a bit home to snack on later. My daughter and I shared a number of appetizers and thought they were fantastic. We have been before and we will return! Only wish they were open for lunch!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent in every respectcannuckVIPDined on 8/16/2014Terrific food, had the chef's tasting. Every course was perfectly prepared, great variety, presentation, value.Special Features:
- Amazing Tasting MenuLDK4VIPDined on 8/16/2014My husband and I tried their new tasting menu and we both loved it. It was 4 courses which was the perfect amount of food. I had the wine pairing with my meal. I really enjoyed how two courses were paired with one glass of wine, as oppose to tasting menus where they have one glass per course. I also felt the price was very reasonable for a tasting menu. I can not wait to go back and share this restaurant with friends and family.Special Features:
- Very good and quick tooCasualdinerDined on 8/13/2014This was our third visit to Bistro Rouge. Food was just as good as every other time. What was different is that the food came out very quickly. Granted we were there for an early dinner and the restaurant hadn't filled out yet, but the speed it came out was virtually fast food like. Will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- It's a treatMissionguyDined on 7/31/2014Everything about Bistro Rouge is sure to please. The food, the service, the staff, it's always a pleasure and for us when we need a treat, it's where we go to unwind, have a nice time and enjoy a couple of hours being treated to many nice things.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- outstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/28/2014Get the fries. Get the fries. Get the fries. A wonderful evening and succulent food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden Gemmonapetit44Dined on 7/28/2014A relaxed yet upscale atmosphere with enticing menu choices featuring new twists on classic French favorites and intriguing new flavour combinations. Loved every bite! A great place to celebrate a special occasion or enjoy a date night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedYYCdiningcoupleDined on 7/26/2014We'd been to Bisto Rouge before and they missed the mark on our meal. The waiter was uninterested, and had to be prompted to tell us about the special. He also not able to answer our questions about the menu very well. The food was not as good as previous times we've been and the coffee wasn't hot - we had to send it back (seems the waiter was surprised we were telling the truth - he came back to the table to tell us he checked and indeed the coffee was not hot - no kidding that's what we told him!) The music was also odd - 50s pop music and too loud!Special Features:
- civilised diningapijacDined on 7/23/2014As a "farm team" for the more formal main league "Rouge" in Inglewood, the Bistro has brought an innovative menu, excellent execution and professional service to the suburbs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb meal and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/22/2014I'll be back for sure. GREAT to have a 5 star restaurant in the local area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, OK roomGlobaldinerDined on 7/18/2014Good was good, portions were right, presentation was good for the most part (didn't enjoy eating salad out of a jar). Despite having a reservation for 4 we were placed in the front of the restaurant in a separate area in what felt like an overflow part of the room. It was an uninspiring dining experience as a result and you felt closed in. The soups were pretty good, the chicken dish was also good, the NY steak was done nicely but the meat quality was average. Overall good, but for the cost at the end of the evening the experience ended up being average because of poor seating arrangement.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/17/2014Overall a good experience, very noisy but the quality of the food made up for the nose level. The service was good, although our waitress did nothing more than deliver the food & wine. Very little interaction from her.Special Features:
- Great for dinner with a friendWorkingMomDined on 7/17/2014Had a wonderful dinner with a girlfriend - ambience, lovely food, very fresh and excellent ingredients, wonderful view and a place that you can linger. Thoroughly enjoyed the night and food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerYumYumDined on 7/8/2014Took my wife here for dinner, excellent service, good-sized portions and solid taste.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RegulardinerDined on 7/1/2014Great as usual, but could do with just a little more choice on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It is OKAWWWDined on 6/30/2014Yes, OK is a fair comment I think. I pause as I think the main place, Rouge in Inglewood, is truly great so worry my expectations are unfair on a bistro by the same people? I think I have taken that into account especially given the hefty pricing--for a bistro in the 'burbs. The "lobster soup" did not taste of lobster at all. The "pork paillard" was OK I guess. It seemed odd to have a very French menu--sort of--with a room full of photos of Paris with such North American ingredients. Yes, it is just OK really with long waits between courses.
- Ok but not outstandingappreciatevalueDined on 6/30/2014We went to this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When we got there we were advised that there was a private function occupying the prime seating area of the restaurant which has views to the outside. We were seated in an interior area which was a bit like a cave and exposed to the kitchen which was noisy. The staff was clearly focused on the private function, which took away from our enjoyment of the event. Food was OK, but pricey (example: the burger was $17.00, but for an additional $6 you could have fries on the side.)Special Features:
- Bad Night?leftwantingmoreDined on 6/27/2014My wife and I visited this restaurant to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary after several friends had recommended it. The menu looked good and the ambiance was nice. I was disappointed to find my medium-rare steak to be cooked medium(almost medium well) and it seemed that other guests beside us were having similar issues. I'm not sure if they were having an off night, but its disappointing that it was on the night we were trying out for the first time.Special Features:
- DisappointingFOODLOVERDined on 6/26/2014Food ok... Lots of salt. Server forgot an appetizer. Otherwise service ok. Really wanted to like it but.....

It is well known that Haydn was a favoured visitor to London towards the end of his life and spent much time in the English capital. In addition to the famous 'London' symphonies he wrote a considerable amount of other music whilst he was here, including chamber works and, particularly, songs, many of them to English words by his friend Anne Hunter. All of the famous ones are here, along with other, German, settings and the extended scena 'Arianna a Naxos', to an anonymous Italian text.
This delightful programme is shared between three singers, the 20-minute 'Arianna' being given to Bernarda Fink whose recent 'Canciones Amatorias' was received with glowing praise.
The two sets of twelve German Lieder Haydn published in 1781 and 1784 are virtually ignored by singers today. Yet despite their often coy or arch texts, by deservedly forgotten minor versifiers of the time, the best of these songs have a grace, point and wit that go beyond mere rococo charm. This was a period when the Emperor Joseph II was vigorously promoting German-language culture at the expense of French and Italian. And during the 1770s German songs with keyboard accompaniment became popular fare in Viennese musical salons, as they had been for years in north Germany. Publishers were quick to spot a potentially lucrative market; and Haydn, by now an international celebrity and free to publish without Prince Esterházy's consent, joined such composers as J A Steffan, Leopold Hoffmann (whom Haydn by all accounts despised) and Leopold Kozeluch in satisfying the new Viennese demand for Lieder.
Ever a canny promoter of his own music, Haydn wrote to his publisher Artaria in 1781 that his Lieder, 'through their variety, naturalness and beautiful and grateful melodies will perhaps eclipse all others'. As the possessor of a fine tenor voice, he also announced his intention of singing the songs himself, 'in the best houses. A master must see to his rights by his presence and by correct performance'. And we can assume that Haydn performed his Lieder, to his own accompaniment, in fashionable soirées like those held at the home of the Viennese Privy Councillor Franz von Greiner. The popularity of the 1781 songs led three years later to a second set, for which Haydn himself commissioned 'three tender new texts, because almost all the others are merry in spirit; the subject matter should also embrace sadness, so that there is light and shade, as with the first twelve'. And though they are all cast in straightforward strophic form (with the same music repeated for each verse), these delightful songs are indeed as varied as their essentially domestic medium allows.
Of the two numbers from the 1784 set included here, Auch die sprödeste der Schönen is an insouciant little song in the composer's favourite faux-naif folk vein. By contrast, Das Leben ist ein Traum shows Haydn in serious mode. There is more than a whiff of opera seria, too, in the broad, stately vocal line, the harmonically intensified climax at 'bis wir nicht mehr an Erde kleben' and the dramatic pauses at 'Was ist das Leben?', where Haydn reinforces the question by a sudden shift from major to minor.
Unlike the German songs, the two sets of six 'Original Canzonettas' Haydn composed in London have always had a foothold in the recital repertoire, if only as aperitifs to meatier Romantic fare. Again they were written primarily for the profitable amateur market, the first set of six in 1794, the second the following year; and to them Haydn added three separately published songs, including O tuneful voice and The spirit's song. The initial impulse for the canzonettas probably came from Haydn's friend Anne Hunter, widow of the famous surgeon Sir John Hunter, who turned out polished, if unoriginal, verses, in the taste of the day: usually soulful and sentimental, but also mining a vein of fashionable Gothic gloom (The wanderer, The spirit's song). Hunter provided the poems for all the canzonettas in the first set of six, and selected the texts for the second set, drawing on Shakespeare, Metastasio and three anonymous poems: Sailor's song, Piercing eyes and Transport of pleasure. The canzonettas' dedicatee, Lady Bertie, Countess of Abingdon, apparently found the last song too erotically explicit, and for a subsequent published edition it was fitted with a more decorous text, Content (sung in this recording).
The English canzonettas range far more widely in mood than the German Lieder. Heading each set of six is a 'sea' song: The mermaid's song, with its playful, pearly triplets and charming canonic imitations to illustrate 'Come with me, and we will go', and the breezy Sailor's song, whose onomatopoeic accompaniment (depicting bugle calls, cannons, 'rattling ropes' and the like) gleefully exploits the sonority and compass of the new Broadwood fortepiano. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Haydn's sole Shakespeare song, She never told her love, which sets verses from Twelfth Night as a free arioso, full of bold, rhetorical contrasts and unusually elaborate dynamic and expression markings. Two particularly inspired touches are the overlapping of the vocal entry with the close of the piano introduction, and the voice's twice-repeated lingering cadence near the close, the first time culminating in a stabbing discord—a perfect musical embodiment of 'smiling at grief'.
Several of the canzonettas, including Pastoral song (a drawing-room favourite in the nineteenth century), Pleasing pain and Piercing eyes, are in the gently lilting 6/8 metre so often found in Haydn's late works. Indeed, Piercing eyes has an unmistakable foretaste of Simon's bucolic shepherd's song in The Seasons. Yet this being late Haydn, even these lighter songs are full of sophisticated touches: and in Pastoral song and Piercing eyes, especially, the keyboard textures often have the refinement and transparency of a string quartet. Another song in 'pastoral' 6/8 metre, Sympathy ('translated from the Italian of Metastasio', as the first edition put it), is more reflective in tone, with a dramatic change from major to minor at 'When thou art griev'd'.
Though most of the canzonettas are in strophic form, Haydn often introduces telling variants in the repeats. In Pleasing pain, for example, the second verse has a new flowing accompaniment, while the plaintive turn to G minor in verse one ('Dear anxious days of pleasing pain') is now transformed into the major under the influence of the new text ('Come, fairy joys and wishes gay'). In The wanderer, with its disquieting pauses and anxious chromatic harmonies, the voice part is identical for the second verse; here, though, the bare two-part keyboard texture is enriched with an expressive new countermelody in the alto (or viola) register—another example of Haydn's 'string' thinking in these songs.
The textures of two of the most beautiful songs, Recollection and Despair, also suggest a string quartet or trio—in, say, the 'cello' solo (marked 'cantabile') at 'Why cannot I the days forget' in Recollection. Though Despair for the most part expresses Hunter's clichéd, self-pitying text with a dignified restraint, the temperature does rise at the words 'Despair at length reveals the smart', where the piano's crescendo on a repeated B natural propels the music from B major to a 'shock' C major. In both these songs and Content, whose musing triplets are reminiscent of the late piano trios, the keyboard part could virtually stand alone as an eloquent slow movement. Similarly, the impassioned F minor Fidelity could with little alteration be performed as a Sturm und Drang keyboard piece. Here, in fact, Haydn seems less concerned with mirroring the shape of the poem than in using the general sense of the words to create an autonomous free sonata-form structure. After the turbulent F minor opening there is an assuaging second theme in the relative major, A flat ('For ah, my love, it little knows'), a brief modulating central development ('A wayward fate hath spun the thread'), an F major recapitulation that includes a final stormy burst of F minor, and an expressive, chromatically tinged piano postlude.
If Haydn at times seems to be thinking instrumentally in the two sets of canzonettas, the two independently published songs here, O tuneful voice and, especially, The spirit's song, achieve a true interpenetration of poetry and music, with the form reflecting and enhancing the emotional progression of the verses. Both songs, too, poetically exploit the device of the surprise vocal entry found in She never told her love. The darkly brooding atmosphere of The spirit's song (which Haydn apparently thought was by Shakespeare) is heightened by ominous pauses and by a bleak, haunting piano interlude that later accompanies the singer's final 'My spirit wanders free' and then reappears in the coda, deep in the bass against a falling chromatic line. Anne Hunter wrote the poem O tuneful voice as a farewell tribute to the composer before his final departure from England. And Haydn's setting combines a fervent bel canto line with a wonderful freedom of modulation (in, say, the beautiful shifts to the flat side of the spectrum at 'still vibrate on my heart' and, even more evocatively, before 'In Echo's cave') that is at once a quintessential feature of late Haydn and looks ahead to Schubert.
'I am delighted that my favourite Arianna is well received at the Schottenhof, but I do recommend Fräulein Pepperl to articulate the words clearly, especially the passage "Chi tanto amai"'. So wrote Haydn in March 1790 to his friend and confidante Maria Anna von Genzinger, wife of Prince Esterházy's doctor. He had probably composed his dramatic solo Italian cantata some time the previous year. And though it is unlikely that Haydn intended it primarily for 'Pepperl', Maria Anna's teenaged daughter, the cantata's keyboard (rather than orchestral) accompaniment, limited vocal compass (spanning only a twelfth) and modest degree of virtuosity suggest that, like the songs, it was conceived as much for the cultured amateur as for the professional. Whatever its precise raison d'être, Arianna fast became one of Haydn's best-loved works. In 1791 it was a hit at his London concerts, sung—improbably—by the castrato Gasparo Pacchierotti; and when Lord Nelson and his retinue visited Prince Esterházy's palace in 1800, the cantata was performed by 'Mylady Hameelton'. According to a letter of April 1790 to the publisher John Blair, Haydn intended to orchestrate the accompaniment. But he never got round to it. And in any case, the keyboard writing is thoroughly idiomatic, its expressive character and dynamic markings clearly implying the fortepiano rather than the harpsichord.
The subject of the Cretan Princess Ariadne's desertion by Theseus on the island of Naxos has attracted composers from Monteverdi to Richard Strauss. In some sources of the myth (and in Strauss's opera), Bacchus turns up in the nick of time to rescue her from her plight. But in others she dies, half-crazed with grief. And the anonymous text set by Haydn implies such a tragic outcome. Like the orchestrally-accompanied Scena di Berenice Haydn composed in London, Arianna alternates recitative and aria in four distinct sections. First comes a slow, reflective recitative, beginning in E flat but modulating widely, that depicts Ariadne's voluptuous awakening, the dawn (evoked in a long keyboard crescendo before 'Già sorge in ciel') and her mingled languor and impatience for Theseus's return.
Then in a largo aria in B flat ('Dove sei, mio bel tesoro?'), opening with a wonderfully sensuous phrase that recalls the Countess's 'Dove sono?' from Figaro, she begs the gods to bring him back to her. Her underlying anxiety, though, becomes increasingly evident in the faltering vocal line, often punctuated by rests, and the music's harmonic instability, with sudden shifts to the minor mode. The aria breaks off for the second, intensely dramatic recitative ('Ma, a chi parlo?'), full of sudden changes of tempo and motif: at the opening Ariadne climbs the cliff (duly illustrated by the piano) as the music modulates slowly from C major to A major and back again; then after the numb realization of her abandonment ('ei qui mi lascia'), she experiences, successively, desperation, indignation and near collapse (expressed in a poignant, 'tottering' F minor arioso at 'Già più non reggo'). The daughter of Minos recovers her regal dignity for one last time in the slightly formal F major opening of the final aria ('Ah! che morir vorrei'). But her anguish and outrage erupt in the closing F minor presto, with its yearning repetitions of the key phrase 'Chi tanto amai' (the words Haydn cited in his letter to Maria Anna von Genzinger). After the singer's last despairing F minor outburst, the piano postlude culminates in a laconic F major cadence of grim, almost mocking finality.

Doctors declare ex-Puerto Rican boxer Hector Camacho 'brain dead'
San Juan, Puerto Rico (4E) – The doctors treating Puerto Rican former boxer Hector "Macho" Camacho have declared him as brain dead after he went into deep coma following a gun shot on his head outside capital San Juan earlier this week.
Talking to reporters, Dr Ernesto Torres, who is also the director at the hospital, said that his brain studies show irregular and intermittent activity, adding he is totally unresponsive. "We have done all we can do," Dr Torres said.
Camacho, who fought against some of great boxers like Oscar de la Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard and Felix Trinidad, also suffered a heart attack after the shooting incident.
The doctor said that the bullet that went into his head had damaged three of his arteries, which through the neck, causing a blockage in the blood flow towards his brain.
The attack happened on Tuesday while he was sitting in his car outside a bar with his friend Adrian Mojica Moreno, who died immediately after the attack. Police is investigating the matter but could not yet find any motives for the shooting.

So, I wasn't struck with a good Music Thursday theme this week, so I decided to toss order and genre to the wind and let the shuffle setting on my iPod guide me. Now, you understand this is a dangerous approach. My musical tastes are varied. My husband (the jazz snob) often argues that "taste" has nothing to do with it (as in, when it comes to music, I have none). I have way too much music to fit into 16G and so what shuffles up on my MP3 player is less a reflection of my entire musical collection than it is the result of the mood I'm in and the particular playlists and genres and albums and artists I selected before syncing.
What I'm saying is, if this little experiment yields some guilty secrets in the form of Barry Manilow, Lady Gaga or misogynist rock or rap, don't judge me.
1. "They Reminisce Over You" by Pete Rock and C. L. Smooth
Phfew! So far, so good. This is my all-time favorite hip hop song. Love the flow and the iconic horn.
2. "Winter Winds" by Mumford and Sons
Not much to say about Mumford and Sons. A friend of mine, a fan of the group, let me borrow their album and I uploaded it this morning. Save what the group performed on the Grammys last weekend, this is the first song of theirs I've heard. I don't hate it. (But I am over the sketchy facial hair trend. Can someone make these indie bands stop it.)
3. "Never Forget You" by "Noisettes"
Shamefully, I discovered this band because I coveted lead singer Shingai Shoniwa's hair. I became a fan because of the Noisettes cool retro pop.
4. "Standing in the Way of Control" by Gossip
Beth Ditto rocks!

WE DTE just got wind of some great news. DTE Energy has cracked the ranks of the Top 10 utilities in Newsweek's "Green Rankings." Each year, Newsweek systematically evaluates the nation's largest companies on a number of factors that measure their environmental footprint, how they manage their footprint and how well they communicate about their environmental impacts.
DTE jumped from the 15th position on the utility list in 2011 to the 9th position in 2012. This recognizes our efforts to increase renewable generation as well as our installation of state-of-the-art emission control systems at our power plants. Our environmental efforts also have helped our customers use energy more efficiently, earn voluntary designations for our environmental programs and improved our properties for wildlife habitat.
But, you know what? We don't get long to glow in the spotlight of this achievement, nor can we rest. DTE's commitment to the environment and environmental achievements is ongoing. Also, the bar gets moved higher every year as regulations get tighter and all utilities step up their individual efforts to reduce emissions and other environmental impacts. We know we have to do more just to keep up.
DTE has invested more than $ 2 billion on environment improvements in the last decade and another $2 billion to $3 billion will be spent to achieve our goal of reaching 10 percent of our capacity in renewable energy by 2015. The "Green Rankings" lets us know we're on the right road. Check out what else we are doing to support this Work.

That's not cool Tumblr.
Reblogging just in case this is true. I'll get it off my blog here later, but for now….
Yeah if this is true… I'm just leaving this here and may or not remove all art.
Oh yeah. It's true.
What makes this even more of a shitshow though? Well, if you don't feel like digging through all the legalese to find this section, I've done it for you. This is what it says as of 2014-01-25, 19:53 PST:
Read that. Read all of it. Not just the legalese in white. Not just the "skimmer-friendly" version in gray. Read both and notice how they technically, for all legal purposes, say the same things…yet completely contradict one another from any practical standpoint. The gray boxes are all nice and friendly. The legalese is basically a great big ol' FUCK YOU.
So yeah, signal boost the hell out of this.
uuuuuugh whaat :(
What's going on tumblr…
welp… there goes another safe space on the internet
wtf no
