Roach Gigz - Pu$$y Magnet (ft. Kreayshawn)
Since listening to Roach Gigz's lead single from his new-ish tape Roachy Balboa 3 for the first time Friday, the Kreayshawn hook has been stuck in my head. It's such a goofy metaphor, but so catchy! The video echoes my feeling that this track makes a great poolside banger, though it was released a bit late in the summer to achieve such status, unfortunately.
Gigz's last verse — a quicktime braggadocio chick-getting list — is tops. Indeed, the propensity to return Red Boxes promptly is definitely a top tier significant other quality in 2k13.
Also, can we observe how awesome Gigz's flows have become since his last tape?

I had the chance to meet DB about 6 months ago at his music vice shoot along side DaVinci, and Main Attrakionz. He was a really cool dude, but he was wearing USPA, soooooooooo let that settle in. This is some of the most relentless rapping I've heard in my 19 years of life.
The outro to this song might be one of the best things I've ever heard.

Can Domestication of Wildlife Lead to Conservation? The Economics of Tiger Farming in China
AbstractTigers are a threatened species that might soon disappear in the wild. Not only are tigers threatened by deteriorating and declining habitat, but poachers continue to kill tigers for traditional medicine, decoration pieces and so on. Although international trade in tiger products has been banned since 1987 and domestic trade within China since 1993, tigers continue to be poached and Chinese entrepreneurs have established tiger farms in anticipation of their demise. While China desires to permit sale of tiger products from captive-bred tigers, this is opposed on the grounds that it likely encourages illegal killing. Instead, wildlife conservationists lobby for more spending on anti-poaching and trade-ban enforcement. In this study, a mathematical bioeconomic model is used to investigate the issue. Simulation results indicate that, unless range states are characterized by institutions (rule of law, low corruption) similar to those found in the richest countries, reliance on enforcement alone is insufficient to guarantee survival of wild tigers. Likewise, even though conservation payments could protect wild tigers, the inability to enforce contracts militates against this. Our model indicates that wild tigers can be protected by permitting sale of products from tiger farms, although this likely requires the granting of an exclusive license to sellers. Finally, it is possible to tradeoff enforcement effort and sale of products from captive-bred animals, but such tradeoffs are worsened by deteriorating tiger habitat.

Personnel Qualifications and Training
It is the policy of NRMRL that all persons managing or directing NRMRL projects have appropriate training for their assigned work. Training needs may be identified by EPA regulation (e.g., requirements for project officer training), by those persons planning a technical activity (e.g., TLP), or by those managing persons performing a technical activity (e.g., branch chiefs or team leaders). Training programs are generally designed by the persons providing the training.
The process for specifying and documenting intramural training varies with the type of training:
All QA training will be tracked by OMIS.
To assist employees and contractors with their records management
responsibilities, each location/division has a Records Management
Liaison (RML) who will assist personnel with the implementation
of the agency's National Records Management Program (NRMP).
Further training and assistance are available online.

Written by:
The Word has brought forth thee;
And gave thee names
Gave thee, the enchanting beauty of ages,
Maturing sun that gave you hope
And the dying stars that lid up the skies.
Thee tend to thy flocks and rub olive oil to thy little lamps.
Ope thy heart to the untended flocks
But, lo and behold;
They came and corrupted thy youth
Beauty loss by the hands of man
Trembled and feared were they that deceived thee,
Thy wrath was the sound of thunder
Undone were they, for they have test thy patience
Lost and forgotten, ye that came found serenity among thy children.

Transitioning Max Height
Over at Happy Cog, we recently worked with MTV on their second Online Music Awards event. The project consisted of both a live streaming event as well as a supporting web site where users could come and vote on nominees. As a site that was designed to be exciting to use, we also wanted to make sure the experience was easy to use, while including some "surprise and delight" factors. The Vote page features an adaptive grid with hover states that were planned to reveal additional information about the categories.
The hidden information is not vital to be able to interact with the links, so we didn't want to cover the imagery with it. We also didn't want to exclude it, because some of us who have been watching MTV since "Video Killed the Radio Star" might need some additional context to know what the hip kids are voting on these days.
Talking it over with the design team, we figured we wanted the additional text to slide up on mouse over, so we decided to take advantage of CSS transitions to do so. I figured, no problem! We'll toss a few different block elements within a link, since HTML5 lets us do that, and then set the height on the hidden text to 0, and then height auto that jawn on hover! Right? Not so much.
As you can see, there is no transition. Just a straight reveal. Bummer. So, I then tried animating to a height of 250px. And that works!
Unfortunately, I didn't know the heights of all the descriptions. So that wouldn't fly. Life's looking up though, when I thought, how bout we try max-height instead.
So we remove the height attributes completely and set max-height to 0 initially, and then max-height to fit within the fixed dimension size of the box. As you can see, we're in business.
For browsers that don't support this, you can fallback to a straight reveal or rely on the primary link text to describe the link destination. CSS hover effects have gotten to be a boatload of fun.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Curt firstname.lastname@example.com Anne Dunivin can't remember what sparked her love of being in a pool of water, but she can tell you what keeps her coming back for more. The 91-year-old Riverdale resident (who turns 92 on Friday) began swimming when she was 10. Growing up in the Grant Park area of Atlanta, Dunivin had access to the neighborhood pool where children under 12 could swim for free in the morning. She later learned the various swimming strokes in an aquatics class, when she spent the first two years of her college career at Shorter College. She continued to swim, recreationally, after she transferred to Emory University, and she then taught her children how to swim when she got older. Teaching her children to swim did not allow Dunivin to do much recreational swimming, but her golden years have given her an opportunity to pursue it competitively. "I like the exercise for one thing, but I just feel good when I'm in the water," said Dunivin. "I never get out of the water and say, 'I wish I had never gone in the water.' I always come out of the pool saying, 'I'm glad I got in there.'" Dunivin had three reasons to be glad she got in a pool last month. She won gold medals in the 50-, 100-, and 200-meter freestyle swimming competitions -- for the 90 and up age group -- at the Georgia Golden Olympics, which took place Sept. 24-27 in Warner Robins. She will now compete for national gold medals at the National Senior Games in August 2009 in San Francisco. Dunivin, who served on the Riverdale City Council for eight years, until 2003, trains for competitions by going to the Steve Lundquist Aquatic Center in Jonesboro twice a week for 30-minute swimming sessions. She doesn't do much swimming -- Just 24 laps in the 50-meter long, Olympic-sized pool on each visit. "I do pretty good with endurance, but I don't do as well with the 50 [ meters swimming events] as I would with the 100," said Dunivin. "Someone might beat me in the 50, but then I'd beat them in the 100." Michael Phelps, meet Aquawoman. This year's state victories mean Dunivin has now won a total of eight Georgia Golden Olympics swimming gold medals since 2006. She also took home triple gold for swimming at the 2007 golden Olympics, and two more at the 2006 event. Dunivin won a silver swimming medal at the 2007 National Senior Games, a bi-annual event, in Louisville. She thinks it was in the 50-meters freestyle, but she isn't sure anymore. However, Dunivin is already looking forward to swimming at next year's National Senior Games. She has already begun to cover the walls in her kitchen with her medals to serve as reminders of how she's done so far in competitive swimming. "There was a 91-year-old woman from Ohio who beat me in the last national games," said Dunivin. "If she's there [in San Francisco], and I hope she is, I want to beat her ... Over the years, I have not been competitive in anything, but in this senior swimming [arena], I've become very competitive."

Preaching Daily - November 21
Today's Word for Pastors...
Joshua said to the people, "You are not able to serve the LORD. He is a holy God; he is a jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins."
Joshua 24:19
Today's Preaching Insight...
IMPACT helps flow of worship
In the May 2003 issue of Baptist Life, Rick Muchow, pastor of magnification at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA, explained that "Music is not worship itself, but a tool to worship." In order to provide an effective flow for Saddleback's weekend services, he uses the acrostic IMPACT:
IM stands for Inspirational Movement, or an energetic song of praise. "In order to wake up the Body of Christ, we have to wake up the body," Muchow says.
P stands for Praise song, which is a song sung about God in the third person.
A stands for Adoration, a praise song sung to God
C stands for Commitment, with songs like "I Worship You" or "I Surrender All"
T stands for Tie it all together, using a song "that summarizes the group's worship of the Lord, sung in the collective third person.
Today's Extra...
This Week's Laugh
Fathers and Mothers
Robert Kopp tells about the woman who was walking with her young daughter. The little girl picked up something from the ground and started to put it in her mouth, but the mother told her to throw it away because it was dirty with germs.
"Mommy, how do you know so much?" the girl asked.
"Well, it's on the mommy test," her mother replied. "You have to know all about such things or you don't get to be a mommy."
The daughter thought about it a moment, then replied, "OK, I get it. So if you flunk the test you have to be a daddy."

Sable loved this dessert
posted 5 years ago
I bought one each of these desserts, have only fed the carrot cake so far. Sable loved this and it actually smelled fairly good. I would only use these as a special treat or a special occasion. Sable licked the bowl clean and actually has gone back a couple of times to see if there is more. So funny. Anyway, use these for special treats.
Pros: My dog loved, loved, loved
Cons: None

"Yeah…" Kurogane shifted and kissed Fai deeply before getting off the bed and going to the door. "I'm here. Fai is awake, too."
Kamui paused. "Alright. You three can go in." Despite the rambunctious attitude the door was opened gently to show three young boys.
"Oooh he does have Lady Kaede's aura! Cool cool! He looks just like that man too!" The boy with the blond hair and blue eyes looked at him. "I am the angel known as Nokoru! These are my friends Suoh and Akira!"
"Nobody was supposed to know you were here yet." Kamui sighed.
"Well that's what's great about being a smaller angel! It's easier to sneak into the arch angel's meetings!" He laughed but got pounded on his head.
"And that is why you'll never get promoted to arch! Such disrespect and absurdity!" Kamui huffed. "You better not blab about this to the others. These two need to get adjusted before the general public swarms them, well Kurogane."
Fai watched the boys fawn over Kurogane and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. He was only here under Kurogane's genetic reputation. There could have easily been another demon in his place…or no one at all. Fai would become nothing but a quiet angel while Kurogane basked in the glory and love of people of heaven. He gripped the blankets lightly.
Nokoru looked passed Kurogane and saw Fai. With a smile he went past the man and up to the bed. "Hey! Hey! What's your name?"
The blond jumped and looked down at the young boy. "F-Fai."
"Fai huh? You're the former demon right? You must be something special if you're sharing the Master's bed." He chuckled as he flew up. "Don't worry. Your eyes are pretty. Why would somebody so pretty be a demon? I don't know but your looks are better suited for the pure white wings of an angel." He kissed Fai's cheek. "Don't doubt his loyalty." Nokoru said softly before landing on the ground. "Come on guys! Let's go!" The little angel took off, his friends right behind him.
"We have." He took Fai's hand and smiled at him. "And I'm glad we made it here."
"I love you too." Fai looked up at him happily. "We've really come far huh?"

NAIROBI—The second flight in the ongoing airlift to Mogadishu arrived on Friday carrying more specialised food products for small children. Over 28 metric tons of this fortified peanut paste called "Supplementary Plumpy" has been flown into Mogadishu so far out of a total 100 metric tons intended for some 35,000 malnourished children.
WFP is supplying cooked meals to around 85,000 people per day in the war-ravaged Somali capital, in the face of daunting security challenges. WFP is scaling up its operations to feed 1.5 million drought-affected people regions of the country including Mogadishu, Central Somalia, Somaliland and Puntland.
A stream of refugees
A stream of refugees continues to pour out of Somalia's southern borders into neighbouring Ethiopia and Kenya. On average an estimated 1,300 people are arriving every day at Kenya's Dadaab refugee camp, many of them severely malnourished.
New arrivals to the camp receive high-energy biscuits to satisfy their nutritional needs for a day, in addition to a three-week ration of food. Small children and pregnant mothers are also receiving specialised food products tailored to their needs.
WFP is providing food assistance to about 498,000 refugees in Kenya, out of a total 1.6 million people receiving food around the country. The Kenyan government is feeding an additional 800,000 people.
As the drought wears on, the number of people who will be in need of food assistance is expected to rise to 3.2 million people by August.
The view from Ethiopia
Refugees continue crossing the border into Ethiopia as well, though their numbers have fallen in weeks from 2,000 per day to less than 1,000. However malnutrition rates remain very high among new arrivals.
Some 50 per cent of children under five arrive at Dolo Ado suffering from acute malnutrition. WFP has begun distributing high-energy biscuits to all refugees arriving at the camp while they wait to be registered for food distributions.
In the coming weeks, WFP plans to increase its assistance to over 3.5 million people in drought-affected regions of the country.

From the PAISTE Twenty Masters Collection comes the 22" Dark Ride Cymbal! Ride cymbals don't get any classier than this!
The sound character of the PAISTE Twenty Masters 22" Dark Ride Cymbal is warm, smoky, breathy, with a fairly wide range and a complex mix. A soft feel with a quick response. Very crashable but controllable with a peppery stick sound over a dark layered oriental, smoky wash. It is a sophisticated ride cymbal that can easily be used in a small jazz club setting and can also flourish in other styles such as pop, cabaret, blues or country music. The 22" responds with a deeper center pitch than the 20" version.
New in 2011, the PAISTE Twenty Masters Collection is an assemblage of exquisite and laboriously hand-manufactured cymbals made of CuSn20 bronze to achieve superior sound ideals in various musical genres. The Twenty Masters ride cymbal models bring together the experience of the decades long art of cymbal making with the inspirations of international top drummers. Features include:•
The Dark Rides, available in 20" and the deeper-pitched 22", meet the highest requirements of Jazz drummers that seek vintage and timeless sound. Their dark-smokey vibe and incredibly soft feel perfectly suit dynamic playing in quiet to medium-loud combos. The 20" Dark Crash Ride is slightly lighter, and provides a bit more wash but features the same vintage-earthy timbre as the Dark Ride.

Ever played Savage? Two teams grace the playing field, a legion of humans and a horde of beast. One player from each team assumes a leader position over the rest of their race, and plays the game as an RTS. The rest of the team run around doing their commanders bidding (or, more often, not doing it :/). SavageCraft will be set in the same play style, only this time around you will be playing as either a race of technological Space Marines or a horde of Xenomorphs.

A New Jersey teen who wanted Phillip Phillips to take her to prom won't see that dream come true, but she'll get to see her idol in the flesh anyway.
Carly Meyers , a senior at Gill St. Bernard's School in Gladstone, NJ, created a YouTube invite , posted April 6, in which she turns Phillips' hit "Gone, Gone, Gone" into "Prom, Prom, Prom."
"Phillip, if you're free May 16 I'll be the one in the red dress :)," Carly wrote in the video's description.
Carly appeared live on ABC's Good Morning America on Thursday as part of the show's "Epic Prom Week" and explained why she'd created the clip.
"When I thought of my dream prom date, I just always thought of him," Meyers said. "I love writing songs. I love his songs. So I thought I'd kind of put it together. [I] did it for fun, although secretly hoping he'd see it."
And it turns out Phillip did see it -- and responded. In a video that aired Thursdy on GMA , he addressed Carly, telling her he'd seen her prom proposal, and adding that her song "sounded so lovely."
He then delivered the bad news: he can't make it to her prom. But then, he surprised her with tickets for her and her friends to his show July 12 at the PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey.
"I can't wait to see you and hear all about your prom!" said Phillip, as a speechless Carly gasped and put her hands to her mouth.
Phillip will perform on Good Morning America May 20.

Cement Manufacturing - Balancing Growth with Air Quality Requirements
In most areas of the U.S., it appears that the recession is a bad memory and the signs of recovery are all around us. As described by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) on its website[1], "following the strongest cement consumption gains in seven (7) years in 2012, cement consumption growth will continue in 2013 with a 6.2% increase." PCA continues to explain that "the accelerated consumption predicted during the second half of 2013 should carry into the following year, with an increase of 9.2% for 2014." PCA also upwardly revised its long-range projections for 2015-2017, with annual growth during that period expected to be as high as 11.1%. PCA predicts cement consumption levels will reach 120 million metric tons by 2017.
With this good news for U.S. cement plants, as well as similar projects across key construction sectors, the cement industry will need to balance this growth with challenging air quality requirements. A given cement manufacturing process can simultaneously be subject to multiple air quality regulations with varying requirements and compliance deadlines. Specifically, these requirements include the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLL; "PC MACT"); the Commercial and Industrial Solid waste Incinerator (CISWI) Rule (40 CFR Parts 60, Subparts CCCC or DDDD), the NESHAP for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDDD, "Boiler MACT"), and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Portland Cement Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart F). Since both CISWI and Boiler MACT have been given an enormous amount of attention in 2013, in this article we will explore PC MACT in some more detail and then discuss the relationship between these separate but inexorably connected rules.
Brief History of PC MACT[2]
Similar to Boiler MACT, PC MACT has existed for several years, beginning with the promulgation of standards in 1999. Following iterations of comments, reconsiderations, and amendments, revised standards were promulgated on February 12, 2013. PC MACT applies to both major and area sources of HAPs. One (1) of the primary drivers of the revised PC MACT was the impact of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (U.S. EPA's) nonhazardous secondary materials (NHSM) rule, which resulted in the reclassification of 23 cement kilns as CISWI units. This required U.S. EPA to recalculate the floors that establish the PC MACT emission standards. With the recalculation of the floor came revisions to the standards for particulate matter (PM); the standards for mercury, total hydrocarbons (THC), and hydrogen chloride (HCl) remained the same as the 2010 version of PC MACT. PC MACT also includes an emission standard for dioxins and furans (D/F). In addition, startup and shutdown emission limits were replaced with work practice standards, and the monitoring requirements for the PM and THC pollutants were modified. Lastly, and potentially most importantly, the compliance date to meet the PC MACT emission standards was extended to September 9, 2015 for existing sources. A more near-term compliance date of February 12, 2014 was established for existing open clinker storage piles.
Affected Sources Under PC MACT
The affected sources in PC MACT consist of kilns, clinker coolers, raw material dryers, and open clinker storage piles. Emission standards and work practice standards are provided for new (post-May 6, 2009) sources and existing sources in normal, as well as startup and shutdown operating modes, that are located at major and area sources of HAPs. Emissions from open clinker piles must be effectively controlled through the use of an enclosure, installing and operating a water spray or chemical dust suppressant, or use of a wind barrier or tarpaulin.
Summary of Performance Testing and Monitoring Requirements
The compliance basis for the PM standards for kilns has been revised to a manual three-run stack test conducted annually. The opacity limits and the requirement for opacity monitoring of kilns and clinker coolers at major sources has been removed from PC MACT (effective September 2015), since facilities will now be required to use a PM continuous parametric monitoring system (PM CMPS) to demonstrate continuous compliance with PM emission limits. For raw material, clinker, or finished product storage bins; conveying system transfer points; bagging system; bulk loading or unloading system; raw and finish mills; and raw material dryers, a 10% opacity limit remains, with the option to use a continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) or U.S. EPA Method 22. A continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) must be used to demonstrate compliance with THC emission standards. Kilns also have operating limits related to the temperature of the gas at the inlet to the kiln PM control device or to the sorbent injection rates, where employed. The operating limits are used as the continuous compliance demonstration methodology for D/F emissions. For mercury, THC, and HCl, initial performance tests using U.S. EPA reference methods are required, followed by the use of CEMS (or a sorbent trap monitoring system for mercury) as the on-going continuous compliance demonstration method. Monitoring of clinker production must be performed on an hourly basis.Based on these requirements, the cement industry will be burdened with significant performance testing, CEMS installation, and operation and maintenance requirements for compliance purposes, particularly compared to other industries.

"One thing's for sure: We're all going to be a lot thinner."The Hero finds himself in an empty room, and then the walls start closing in, threatening to squash our hero from the sides. Like its Sister Trope, Descending Ceiling, The Walls Are Closing In shares many of the same functions and tends to show up in the same situations. This Death Trap can be decorated with Spikes Of Doom to look even more menacing, and it can be used hand-in-hand with Descending Ceiling on a Conveyor Belt-O-Doom (usually with one coming right after the other in sequence). It may also be subject to a type of a Magic Countdown; no matter how much time the heroes take, the walls are juuust far enough for them to escape, even moving back between shots. Common ways for heroes to escape this vicious trap is to find a means to brace the moving walls, wait for their Sidekick to find a way inside and get them out Just in Time before the walls (or spiked walls) would have surely crushed them, or a combination of the two. This was commonly used as a stock Cliffhanger in Film Serials of the 1940s, and has appeared frequently in such works. If this occurs in a Video Game, it may be an Escape Sequence. Compare Advancing Wall of Doom, when the hero has to outrun a single moving wall; and there may exist some overlap between the two tropes if the Death Trap is only one moving wall. See Also Smashing Hallway Traps of Doom where a character has to run a gauntlet of smashing objects without getting hit by any. Not to be confused with Deadly Walls. The trope name was inspired by the pre-chorus lyrics from the Linkin Park song "Crawling."

Publication: theday.com
Enfield — In a move that's unlikely to surprise anyone, state Democrats on Wednesday nominated Joe Courtney for a fifth term as the U.S. Representative for Connecticut's 2nd District during a convention at Asnuntuck Community College in Enfield.
Delegates made no other nominations for the position, and as soon as Courtney began to state his "enthusiastic acceptance," his words were drowned out by applause despite the microphone.
Although the delegates were enthusiastic and most Democrats consider Courtney's seat safe, the congressman assured the audience that he did not take their support for granted.
Speakers at Wednesday's convention frequently referred to Courtney by the two nicknames he's picked up, "Landslide Joe" and "Two-Subs Joe," the first of which refers to his narrow victory during his first election.
"I hate tattoos, but if I ever have a tattoo, I'm going to put 83," said Courtney, referring to the 83-vote margin by which he defeated then-three-term Congressman Rob Simmons in 2006 after an unsuccessful bid for his seat in 2002.
Courtney won his next election by a two-to-one margin, but he said the "squeaker" on 2006 left a lasting impact — the realization that a seat in Congress is "borrowed time, and if you've got an opportunity, you better take it when you can."
"Entering Congress knowing every vote is precious," added Courtney, "my office treats everyone that calls us as the most important voter in the district."
Courtney's other nickname refers to his work to authorize the building of two submarines a year at Electric Boat in Groton, and there were no shortage of remarks on Courtney's track record on defense at Wednesday's convention.
Frank Gulluni, director of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center at Asnuntuck Community College, reminded the audience that Courtney recently helped create the largest shipbuilding contract in U.S. history, a $17.6 billion deal that guarantees the production of 10 submarines over the next five years at Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia.
The Courtney campaign also chose to highlight the congressman's work on education.
Christopher Soto of New London, who directs a nonprofit called Higher Edge, provided the initial nomination for Courtney. In January, the congressman visited Soto's organization, which helps low-income high school students in New London through the process of applying to college and securing financial aid.
It was "amazing" to watch Courtney converse with the students in the program, said Soto, and it allowed the students to "realize the impact (he has) on their lives."
Soto praised Courtney's work last year on a bill that limited student loan interest rate increases, making college more feasible for the students in Higher Edge. He also thanked the congressman for his support of expanding the post-Sept. 11 G.I. bill, which allowed veterans like Soto to continue their education.
"We are fortunate to have someone who authentically cares about the people he serves" while representing the second district, said Soto.
Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman presided over the convention and spoke fondly of Courtney after confirming his nomination.
He "has one of the biggest hearts I've ever met in my entire life," she said, calling Courtney a man of "caring and sharing" who gets energy from spending time with his family.
Although several guests and state politicians spoke Wednesday, the one who got the most attention was former state Sen. Edith Prague. As she made her way to the stage, she received a standing ovation, and one man shouted out, "Edith, I love you!"
Her speech was simple and straightforward.
"We're here to nominate a good guy," said Prague, who endorsed Courtney in 2006, a move he said might have determined the outcome.
Editor's note: This version corrects the number of terms Courtney has been in office.

I know I won't get nearly as many comments on this as Victor did on
his test (god, I love you guys), but it is a test to see if my new
phone is synced up with the feature on this site that allows you (if
you like) to see inside my phone.
I'm suuuure you have missed me here since Friday when I switched
phones, so let's see. This is me this morning doing that thing I like
to do where I turn things upside down (for perspective at any time,
lie on your bed with your head hanging over the edge looking out into
your room and you can instantly see all the good there -- I find). If
you want to try the one I did just now: walk downstairs on your hands
without allowing your knees or shins to touch anything. It feels weird
and isn't as much fun as complete inversions (the best!), but worth
Okay, yesterday I was interviewed by the most beautiful woman in the
world, Emily Weiss from intothegloss, and I was having that weird
thing where I couldn't access my words and sounded like I was on coke
and not finishing ideas, like this: "So then I started Sassy, and,
well, well, you know what I'm saying...." I don't think I gave her
even one complete quote to work with.
This reminds me: I am telling Cat to stop making me sound dumb in her
book that she's writing but she won't because she thinks it's funny.
HAhahahaha, not to me. Anyway, Emily, call me if you want to talk
again because today I have my brain back. Does this spaciness thing
ever happen to you guys and what do you attribute it to or how do you
fix it? I tried eating snickers thinking it was blood sugar, then
chicken thinking it was a lack of protein, then lots of water because
Lori thought I might be dehydrated. I never figured it out.
Ok, that's a lot of rambling that needs the kind of editing Mandy
talked about in her post on good writing.
Did you read this all the way to the end? If so, I love you even more
than I did at the beginning. Gooooood morning!

A local poultry grower is facing a double dose of devastation after watching several of his chicken houses burn. The first one burned Sunday and the second one was destroyed overnight.
Ronald Wampler just stocked his chicken houses full of brand new baby birds on Friday and just about every one of them died in the fire. It all started Sunday afternoon at Wampler's farm near Timberville, when the first house caught fire. Heavy winds made putting out the flames difficult, but crews managed to put everything out before a nearby house could burn down. Unfortunately, the fire did have a chance to spread.
In all, Wampler lost more than 80,000 birds and most of his business. "It's going to be a considerable loss," says Wampler. "$10,000 to $15,000 at least and a loss of income."
Wampler says the future of his business is in jeopardy. A few things may keep him from rebuilding the chicken houses. "Pilgrims won't let us build the double deck houses and these buildings were double deck," says Wampler.
Crews are still investigating the first fire. As for the second house, firefighters say flames from the original blaze spread. Even though they thought it was all out, those flames managed to pick up again overnight.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)- One of the two women in the running to be the next superintendent of JCPS met with the public for the first time. Christine Johns-Haines answered parents and teachers' questions and shared her vision for the future.
Johns-Haines is the candidate from Utica Community Schools in Michigan. She took a lot of questions and prefaced a lot of her answers by saying she is not completely familiar with the school district yet and therefore cannot provide specific solutions to the problems JCPS has.
"What I want to say to you in closing is I don't know everything, but I do know that if we work together we can achieve great things," said Johns-Haines.
For an hour and a half, JCPS superintendent candidate Christine Johns-Haines fielded questions from an audience of more than 100 people mostly JCPS teachers. Many questions were repeats. She was asked about JCPS's student assignment plan and diversity - what about the plan would she change, if anything, and how would she involve parents.
"I think on the issue of student assignment the board has adopted a plan. I think the involvement of parents is... while continuing to involve parents, we still have to value students participating in diverse schools," said Johns-Haines.
She said her goal is to prepare all students for post-secondary education, and she would work to make sure all JCPS students had great opportunities. She called her leadership style "upfront" and "extremely collaborative." One person asked her how she would address the low performing schools in JCPS.
"First I need to understand problems and how to move forward. I'm not coming in here with a program and saying I'm going to fix everything. That makes no sense," said Johns-Haines.
She explained she has been a principal in a school identified as needing improvement and was able to make significant changes. When asked about addressing discipline issues and bullying, she said she wants to separate out pervasive bullying from just interactions and exchanges.
"She's very educated, I think she would be a great benefit to the county," said a JCPS teacher.
When Johns-Haines was asked why she would leave Utica Community Schools in Michigan, she had this to say:
"I feel great about this community. I see tremendous potential. We can achieve high levels with all supports that are here. We need to refocus our agenda and establish priorities and we follow that... and everyone has to work together for all kids."
The other superintendent candidate, Donna Hargens, will meet with the community Wednesday from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Male High School.

Walmart says it has drafted its own plan for improving safety at garment factories in Bangladesh rather than join other Western retailers in a legally binding agreement to pay for improved conditions for workers in the South Asian country.
The announcement by the world's largest retailer comes nearly three weeks after the collapse of the eight-story Rana Plaza garment factory on the outskirts of Dhaka that killed more than 1,100 people. The New York Times on Wednesday reported that a Walmart contractor from Canada produced jeans at one of the factories in the collapsed complex.
Walmart said it would not join H&M, the parent company of Zara, Benetton, Marks & Spencer and other European labels in an agreement to conduct independent inspections and to help pay for safety upgrades at factories where they manufacture clothing.
Instead, Walmart has said it will "conduct in-depth safety inspections at 100 percent" of the 279 factories it uses in Bangladesh and publicize the results on its website.
"Walmart believes its safety plan meets or exceeds" the plan put forth by other manufacturers, the company said in a statement Tuesday, adding that the retailer "will get results more quickly."
The Times reports:
"Wal-Mart promised to stop production immediately at factories if urgent safety problems were uncovered and to notify factory owners and government authorities of improvements. But the company … stopped short of committing to help underwrite the improvements — one of the crucial aspects of the Bangladesh safety agreement adopted by European companies."
Reuters writes:
"Walmart's approach may be faster, but touches only a fraction of Bangladesh's estimated 6,500 garment factories. The European-led accord will take months to implement, but covers a wider spectrum."

Original Caption Released with Image:
This image of Eros, taken from the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft on May 1, 2000, is among the first to be returned from "low orbit." Between May and August, the spacecraft will orbit at altitudes near 50 kilometers (31 miles) or less. This will be the prime period of activity for some of the spacecraft's science instruments. The X-ray / gamma-ray spectrometer will build up maps of chemical abundances, while the laser rangefinder measures the shape of Eros to within meters (a few feet). At the same time the magnetometer will watch for indications of Eros' magnetic field and the near-infrared spectrometer will map rock types.
The imager will take pictures of the entire surface of Eros that capture features as small as 4 meters (13 feet) across. This particular image, taken from an orbital altitude of 53 kilometers (33 miles), shows a scene about 1.8 kilometers (1.1 miles) across. Numerous craters and boulders as small as 8 meters (26 feet) across dot the landscape. The large, rectangular boulder at the upper right is 45 meters (148 feet) across.
Built and managed by The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland, NEAR was the first spacecraft launched in NASA's Discovery Program of low-cost, small-scale planetary missions. See the NEAR web page athttp://near.jhuapl.edu/ for more details.

What are we looking at? This mysterious "boulder" referenced by NASA seemingly has structure, and a building like shape accompanied by a long shadow. Could this be simply a rock?

As a remote viewing target image, this is a good one. This is an ET structure and it is occupied by Greys. There is much more below the surface. This looks to be an entrance into the subsurface tunnels. Mining looks like the main activity done with robotic equipment. A ray seems to pulverize the rock.

Thursday night a raft of local Grammy nominees and assorted music industry figures turned out for their annual pre-awards show party at the downtown W.
Here's a link to a nice photo gallery. They're much better than the iPhone pictures on this page!
The turnout included Big Boi, B.o.B., Janelle Monae, Kelly Price, Sean Garrett, Devyne Stevens, Third Day bassist Tai Anderson, Zac Brown Band members Coy Bowles and John Hopkins, Collective Soul's Will Turpin and Jan Smith, vocal coach to stars such as Usher and Justin Bieber.
Gov. Nathan Deal showed up to lend the affair some gravitas. We asked what was on his iPod.
"I am one of those people who doesn't even have an iPod," he said.
So what's on the CD player/tape deck/ turntable?
"I'm a country fan," he said. Remember that Luke Bryan was supposed to play the inauguration but it was canceled due to ice.
Here's a smattering of what we learned on the red carpet.
Akon and Usher may tour together this year, said Devyne Stevens, head of Upfront Megatainment. He also predicts a busy year for Kelly Rowland, T-Pain and Lady Gaga, some of the other artists he works with. On the homefront Stevens said he'll continue his philanthropic work through his Devyne Intervention Foundation.
Jan Smith, who got a nice mention in the Vanity Fair cover story about Justin Bieber, said she doubts she'll be back for the next season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." She's appeared in the past working valiantly to coax on-key lyrics out of Kim Zolciak, but that partnership is likely done for good.
"Somebody has to have a commitment to work hard before I can help them," Smith said sweetly.
Third Day is planning a trip to Haiti soon with World Vision, a Christian humanitarian relief agency.
"I think it's going to break our hearts," Tai Anderson told us.
Despite winning best new artist Grammy honors last year, Zac Brown Band members John Hopkins and Coy Bowles enjoy playing for small hometown crowds, and like jamming at places like Tin Roof, Atkins Park and the Dixie Tavern.
"There's something about knowing everybody in the bar personally," Hopkins said.
"We stay really connected to Atlanta," Bowles said. 'Atlanta has one of the best music scenes."
She always looks polished and poised but Janelle Monae insists she doesn't spend much time putting her wardrobe together.
"I'm a time traveler," she said of her unique yet classic look. Her big goal last year, a busy one for her, was to "not get sick," so she focused on eating healthy. She'd like to collaborate with Stevie Wonder.
And Big Boi? He's "just trying to find the next groove."

Jermaine Dupri had indeed been on the "confirmed guest list" but when I tweeted him last night to ask what time he was arriving he responded, "I'm in Hawaii!" Others on the list also didn't make it – Kandi Burruss also was supposed to be there and wasn't, for example.

Sylvia Earle
John O'Sullivan
Bruce Robison
Julie Packard Executive Director, Monterey Bay Aquarium
Well, there are many threats to our global ocean. Probably the biggest one is global climate change, not surprisingly. I think the thing about global climate change is mainly people have been hearing about the land-based stories. In terms of the biggest looming threat that already today is causing changes in the ocean, it really is about global climate change, both sea level rise, ocean warming, and the acidification that's happening as erosions are absorbing vast amounts of CO2.
In many of our climate prediction models until recently, the role of the ocean really wasn't captured accurately. We need to do a lot more science to incorporate the ocean picture, because, again, the oceans are such a piece of our global systems.
Global climate change is the biggest long-term threat that we really need to work on. Even today, the thing about it is with acidification, these aren't hypothetical things happening in the future. Acidification can be measured right now, and the source of it can be measured right now. It's happening in very tangible ways. Oyster famers up in the Pacific Northwest are seeing changes in their farming activities, so these things are happening right now.
I would say, though, next to the global climate change issue, which is sort of the mother of all issues for everything having to do with the future of our planet's ecosystem, fishing is really the most immediate thing. I've dedicated a lot of my time and interest to that issue because I believe it's the most immediate thing we can do something about.
When you think about the human connection with ocean wildlife, what more basic relationship do we have beyond catching and eating fish? We've been doing it since the dawn of humanity, but we're no longer small bands of hunters and foragers. There are over six billion of us, and we're fishing at an industrial scale and often times in ways that are very damaging to habitats.
So a lot of these issues -- there have been a lot of really great science done to really reveal what the situation is, how bad it is, over the past decade. But the public really often doesn't think that much about the impact of their seafood choices, so that nexus, that's what we've really been focusing on a lot, both through the Packard Foundation, on whose board I serve, but also here at the aquarium through programs like Seafood Watch.
Sylvia Earle Founder and President, The Sylvia Earle Alliance
It's easy to think about what we're putting in -- all the carbon dioxide, the flow from the land, what we deliberately dump into the ocean, the plastics. What we're taking out of the ocean -- the magnitude of the disruption of the fabric of life in the sea, the food chains. But far and away, the most important problem is ignorance. It's lack of concern that people have about what we're doing to the ocean. We can solve these problems. And there is time -- not a lot -- if not to fix things in a way that they might have been, had we started 50 or 100 years ago.
But we can certainly make things better than they are today, if we get busy and really address it, face up to it; understand the consequences to our economy, to our health, to our security, most fundamentally, to the existence of life itself. Nothing else matters more than taking care of the natural systems that make our life possible.
John O'Sullivan Curator of Field Operations, Monterey Bay Aquarium
Not understanding the long term effects that we've already placed on the ocean, from the temperature and how it's affecting weather, to the pollutants, to understanding the trends that are happening in international places -- that we don't really understand how they're affecting our fisheries. You can do so much to protect white sharks along the eastern Pacific, and that can be eradicated because of global warming.
It's some of these big things that are really the driver, they're really the snowball coming down the hill, and we're trying to plant trees, and that snowball, when it comes, that avalanche is going to take out all the good that people have spent lifetimes trying to build. The trouble is with those avalanches, they seem so hard for us as the general public to really champion and get engaged and have an effect, and so we find it almost overbearing where we lose hope.
I think the other most important thing is for people not to lose hope because that's when -- I think that's our greatest fear: people giving up.
Bruce Robison Senior Scientist, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI)
Well, the litany is becoming pretty familiar, now. The ocean's warming up. That's changing the way that animals are distributed in the geographical sense and also in a vertical sense, in the water column. The ocean's becoming more acidic, which has a profound impact on the physiology of animals and on the deposition of coral reefs and on the ability of animals to form hard shells and all sorts of physiological processes going on in their bodies.
The warmer the ocean gets, the less oxygen it can contain, and in addition to the oxygen problems caused by increasing temperature, we're seeing an expansion of regions called "oxygen minimum zones" in the oceanic water column. Oxygen minimum zones are regions between the surface and the deep sea floor -- sometimes narrow, sometimes pretty broad -- that have a very low level of oxygen.
In recent years, those levels have been expanding vertically. The top and the bottom of them have been moving away from each other creating larger zones. The oxygen concentration at the core of these oxygen minimum zones is getting lower. It's approaching almost no oxygen at all. And in places like Oregon and in Mexico and in other parts of the world, these oxygen minimum zones that had been out in relatively deep water are impinging on the coastline, running up the continental shelf and occasionally coming inshore.
