Citizen science - a cure for stupidity.
Do you, dear reader, ever find yourself bawling at the television or even hurling the remote across the room? Perhaps bringing a fist down in rage on your computer keyboard or throwing your newspaper or magazine aside in complete disgust?
Do watercooler discussions at your workplace, or even random overheard conversations on public transport, make you frequently wish for some bloodless and convenient method of resigning your membership of the entire human race?
Well, I have an answer. Not necessarily the answer. But a way of standing up for your own values at times when it seems that the people determined to foist whatever nonsense on the rest of us that it suits them to believe (despite the direction of any actual evidence) are going to overwhelm us all and cause us to suffocate under a gigantic morass of ignorance and stupidity. Bringing about the eventual death of the entire human race in a boiling-hot, waterless hell-hole of our own devising.
Aaand breathe….
The answer, mon brave, is citizen science.
This term covers a number of research projects being carried out by scientists in universities and research institutions around the world. Generally they rely upon being able to construct very complex computer models - the kind of models that use so much computing time and power that no single research team has ever been able to undertake them before.
But now they can be done - thanks to the miracle of distributed computing. Basically, by downloading some (entirely legitimate) software onto your PC and allowing it to make use of your computer's spare processing power, you can help produce climate models, contribute to the search for sustainable water, hunt through radio signals for signs of extra-terrestrial intelligence, tackle malaria or help map complex proteins. Find out about some available projects here.
(Of course, this has only been made possible by the invention of personal/general computing and the internet. But since the tsunami of idiocy referred to above has also received such a boost from these phenomena, that seems entirely fair enough to me.)
Here are three projects that I contribute computer time to that are very satisfying to be involved with:
- Climateprediction.net - a distributed computing project involving the Met Office and Oxford University that aims to produce predictions of the Earth's climate up to 2100 and to test the accuracy of climate models.
- SETI@home - a must for any admirer of the astronomer Carl Sagan, this project based at the University of California, Berkeley is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers to analyse radio telescope data in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
- Computing for Sustainable Water - this project from IBM's World Community Grid is studying the effects of human activity on a large watershed to gain deeper insights into what actions can lead to restoration, health and sustainability of this important water resource.
And, if you don't want to use your computer for a project like this (maybe because it doesn't really have the processing power to spare, for example) then there are plenty of citizen science projects that can still benefit from your assistance.
One example would be the twice-yearly Nature's Calendar project from the Woodland Trust which asks observers to note a series of indicators that spring and autumn have arrived and send in their data to be collated centrally. This has allowed important insights into the effects of climate change on British wildlife, and therefore gives naturalists and scientists a fighting chance of mitigating them.
Another interesting recent project was the Dark Skies initiative from the Council for the Protection of Rural England. During its Star Count 2012 it asked observers around the UK to count the number of stars in the constellation of Orion during a given week - then mapped the results to show the effects of light pollution on our view of the night sky.
Citizen science. Neutralising the stupid one small action at a time.

Note: The information in this article is time-sensitive and subject to change. Always check with airlines ahead of time.
BIKES ARE BIG. And so when you fly with your bicycle, that one geometric fact means that airline companies are likely going to charge you extra.
How much extra depends on the airline. Fees range from JetBlue's and Southwest's reasonable $50 per bike each way to the $200 one-way fare US Airways and Delta charge. At $400 in added fees, a round-trip on Delta between Atlanta and Los Angeles would be cheaper if your bike flew as a passenger.
Some airlines are getting the memo. Beginning April 13, Frontier Airlines ended its bike-handling fee for passengers of the more expensive "Classic" and "Classic Plus" tickets. And for the past two years, in honor of the Tour de France, JetBlue has made bike transit free from July 1 to July 30 (an airline spokeswoman could not confirm that the promotion would happen again this summer).
A portion of the bike fee is based in reality. Larger bags are harder to load and require special handling by the ground crew. In rare circumstances—as with visible damage to a hard-shell case, or divine intervention—airlines may even pay for damages.
The majority of airlines will, theoretically, waive the bike fees if your bicycle doesn't exceed size and weight restrictions of a "normal" bag, but unless you're riding a collapsible, BMX, or kid's bike, that's a long shot. The "normal" size and weight of non-oversize baggage most airlines seemed to have settled on is 62 dimensional inches (the sum of the length, width, and height) and lighter than 50 pounds.
First things first. Before your bike flies, it'll need to be in box form. Airlines typically prefer hard-shell cases or cardboard bike boxes, but soft cases can work provided there is ample padding. You'll have to remove your pedals and secure your handlebars (or you can encase both in foam or packing material).
If you're flying business class or internationally, the airline may waive some of the baggage fees. It'd be wise to check ahead with your airline if a leg of your journey involves a small regional aircraft, which may not have space for your oversize bag.
• $150 for each bike bag.
American Airlines [32]
• $150 charge for each bike.
Delta Airlines [33]
Frontier Airlines [34]
• $50 each way; the bike also will count as your one free checked bag.
JetBlue [35]
• Free if less than 62 dimensional inches and under 50 pounds but will take the place of a free checked piece of luggage.
Southwest Airlines [36]
• $100 each way.
United Airlines [37]
• $200 each way.
US Airways [38]
• $25 if less than 62 inches in total dimension and it's your first bag.

President states Bulgaria can follow spending controls
SOFIA (Reuters) – Bulgaria's president tried to reassure Sofia's European Union couples about Wednesday which any unique government inside his nation wouldn't ease controls about spending to appease a tide of public rage which brought down the last management. The protests were sparked by high energy costs nevertheless spread due to frustration regarding the trying economy, bad governance, injustice plus corruption which plague the European Union's poorest nation six years following it joined the bloc. …

Bucket List: See Carmen
Carmen is an opera in four acts by the French composer Georges Bizet. The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on a novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée. The opera was first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, on 3 March 1875, and at first was not particularly successful. Its initial run extended to 36 performances, before the conclusion of which Bizet died suddenly, and thus knew nothing of the opera's later celebrity.

My friends, I had not intended to discuss this controversial subject at this particular time. However, I want you to know that I do not shun controversy. On the contrary, I will take a stand on any issue at any time, regardless of how fraught with controversy it might be. You have asked me how I feel about whiskey. All right, here is how I feel about whiskey:
If when you say whiskey you mean the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster, that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean the evil drink that topples the Christian man and woman from the pinnacle of righteous, gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, and despair, and shame and helplessness, and hopelessness, then certainly I am against it.
But, if when you say whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips, and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer; if you mean the stimulating drink that puts the spring in the old gentleman's step on a frosty, crispy morning; if you mean the drink which enables a man to magnify his joy, and his happiness, and to forget, if only for a little while, life's great tragedies, and heartaches, and sorrows; if you mean that drink, the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars, which are used to provide tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitiful aged and infirm; to build highways and hospitals and schools, then certainly I am for it.
This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise.- Noah S. "Soggy" Sweat, Jr.

Children's Health
Kids Worldwide Getting Less Heart Fit: Study
Obesity also plays a part. "We are fatter today, so from a weight-bearing perspective it's harder to move our bodies through space," Tomkinson said, noting that about 30 percent to 60 percent of declines in endurance running performance can be explained by increases in body fat mass.
So what's the solution? To Tomkinson, it's simple -- kids need to be exposed to prolonged exercise that leaves them exhausted.
"You want exercise to be fun, but there needs to be some huff and puff there as well," he said. "It needs to make them somewhat tired."
Kids need to engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity that uses the body's big muscles, like running, swimming or cycling, Tomkinson said.
It doesn't have to be all at once, however. Tomkinson said kids can "snack" on physical activity throughout their day -- engaging in a walk for 10 minutes in the morning, or playing an active game for 10 minutes at recess, for example.
Parents also need to engage with their kids, he added. They should limit a kid's sedentary time to no more than two hours a day, while also exposing them to a range of physical activities they might enjoy.
Kass of Let's Move! called on Americans to work toward making physical activity easier and more fun, both for children and adults.
"We know we need to break this cycle of passing physical inactivity down from one generation to the next," Kass said. "There's no one solution. It's got to happen in a comprehensive way. We have to integrate physical activity in our lives. It's got to be a part of our daily lives."

SO releases findings in two cases
On Monday, Nov. 22, 2010, the Tunica County Sheriff's Office dispatched deputies to two different locations to investigate separate incidents.
At approximately 10 a.m., deputies investigated a white male locked inside a vehicle who appeared to be unresponsive and in need of medical treatment. After making entry into the vehicle, Pafford EMS immediately began providing medical treatment, but there was still no response from the subject. Tunica County Coroner Glenn Grant was notified and pronounced the subject deceased.

Today's version of the VBR Prediction Rountable takes a look at the remainder of the 2014 NFl Draft and where the former Nittany Lions will go. Yesterday we posted our predictions for wide receiver Allen Robinson. Unfortunately, he didn't go in the first round, but the general consensus is that he'll be taken sometime during the second or third round. Also hoping to hear their names called in the upcoming days are: DaQuan Jones, John Urschel and Glenn Carson.
The rest of the staff was a little busy this week with other projects, so the following predictions come from just myself and staff writer Eric Sion.
Lead Editor Barry Leonard Jr. (@barryleonardjr)
DaQuan Jones
DaQuan Jones had a great season in 2013 and it put in squarely in the minds of several NFL teams. He's a top-10 defensive tackle and will be a good addition on the interior of any defensive line. Unfortunately for Jones, this year's draft features a deep crop of talented defensive tackles. Teams will shy away from Jones due to the fact that he's not the best pass rusher. I expect to hear his name somewhere from the middle of round 3 to round 4.
John Urschel
I feel that John Urschel has been a bit overlooked by NFL teams. I haven't heard him mentioned often, despite being experienced and having good size. Urschel is a super intelligent guy who will be a solid pick for any team. While he likely won't have a Hall of Fame career, I could see him being a key part to a team's offensive line for years to come. I think Urschel goes in the fifth round in this year's draft.
Glenn Carson
Of the Nittany Lions who have a shot at getting drafted this year, linebacker Glenn Carson is probably the longest shot. He had a solid career at Penn State and was a leader in the middle of the defense during the 2013 season. He played for three years with the Nittany Lions and brings a lot of experience. While he won't overwhelm anyone with his skills, he has the potential to be a serviceable linebacker in the NFL. The likely scenario for Carson is that someone brings him in to camp as an undrafted free agent. However, I have a sneaky feeling that he'll hear his name late in the draft.
Staff Writer Eric Sion (@ericbsion)
DaQuan Jones
I could see both Robinson and DaQuan Jones taken around the same time- third round to be specific. Jones is a top 10 defensive tackle in this draft and he's a great run stuffer. His lack of pass rushing skills probably hurts his draft stock a little and like Robinson's situation, this year's draft class has a very good crop of defensive tackles.
John Urschel
If this draft was based on intelligence and the players' academic accomplishments, we all know that Urschel would be the surefire No. 1 overall pick. Still though, he's a solid guard who has lots of experience of battling in the trenches. With that said, I think Urschel gets drafted somewhere from the fifth round to the seventh round.
Glenn Carson
As much as I want Glenn Carson to get drafted, I don't think he will be. He patrolled the middle of the Penn State defense for three straight years and was as solid of a linebacker as they come. His lack of speed and overall athleticism is probably what's going to keep him from getting drafted, but hopefully he'll get a shot as an undrafted free agent.

1994 B250 no start - nothing but lights.
1994 B250 no start - nothing but lights.
So: before I took it to the mechanic it would turn over but not fire up - with mechanic changing the coil it started once - at home nothing...I changed the connections to the battery and still nothing but interior lights and gauges...
I question why it started at the shop no problem, but as soon as I turned it off and tried the re-start - nothing - not even clicking....
Any help is appreciated! :banghead:
As quoted by Rhandwar in the previous thread:
QUOTE "Wiggle the battery terminals if loose tighten them. Use a volt meter and check the voltage if above 12 volt try to start if it drops below 10 volt buy a new battery. If everything is ok check if the small wire to the solenoid is getting 12 volt when turning the key."
I have changed the battery connectors with the same results - nothing but interior lights and gauges. I tapped the starter while the wife tried turning it over, wiggled wires...???? I will check the ignition coil the mechanic changed to ensure it is ok....argghhhh

Apple, Facebook give markets a lift
By PAN PYLAS and YURI KAGEYAMA Associated Press | Thursday, April 24, 2014 8:36 AM
LONDON (AP) -- Solid earnings from Apple and Facebook helped shore up global markets on Thursday despite an earlier hefty retreat in Tokyo.
As well as delivering forecast-busting numbers, Apple impressed investors in its after-hours statement Wednesday with its news that it is earmarking an additional $30 billion for buying back its stock through next year. The move, which is designed to give its stock price a lift following a relative period of underperformance, takes the total for that timeframe up to $90 billion.
Concerns over the valuation of technology stocks have been a constant theme in financial markets over the past month and the numbers posted by Apple and Facebook helped put those to one side.
"They have provided the much-needed reassurance that investors in tech stocks will have wanted," said Michael Hewson, senior market analyst at CMC Markets.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.7 percent at 6,723 while Germany's DAX rose 0.3 percent to 9,577. The CAC-40 in France was 0.9 percent higher at 4,489.
Wall Street was poised for a solid opening, with Dow futures 0.2 percent higher and the broader S 0.5 percent. Solid orders for longer-lasting U.S. goods outweighed a surprisingly big 25,000 increase in weekly jobless claims.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average underperformed badly, closing down 1 percent at 14,404.99 as talks over trade between President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe failed to yield much. Obama's state visit to the Japan is the first by an American president in nearly 20 years. He also is to visit South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines.
Hideyuki Suzuki, general manager of the investment market research department at SBI Securities Co. in Tokyo, said no one expected an immediate deal, but players still had some hope for progress in the meeting between the leaders.
"If there had been great anticipation of a deal, then the drop would have been even bigger," Suzuki said.
Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea's Kospi inched down 0.1 percent to close at 1,998.34 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose 0.2 percent to 22,562.80
Trading elsewhere was steady, with the euro down 0.2 percent at $1.3800 and the dollar 0.1 percent firmer at 102.59 yen. A barrel of benchmark New York crude was 34 cents higher at $101.78.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Space station astronauts are back outside again. They have one more spacewalking chore before they can declare success in their urgent repair work.
Douglas Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson ventured out Monday morning. It's their third spacewalk in just over a week. This time, they'll try to install a new ammonia coolant pump in an effort to restore full cooling to the International Space Station.
The orbiting lab has been operating on half its normal cooling capability ever since a crucial pump failed on July 31. It took two spacewalks, but Wheelock and Caldwell Dyson finally removed the broken pump last week.
The bathtub-size pumps are needed to drive ammonia through cooling loops and keep equipment from overheating.

For the superwomen of roller derby, injuries like black eyes (pow!), bruised tailbones (bam!) and broken legs (zowie!) are just part of playing hard. But like all supers, these tough ladies have a real weakness, too: puppies and kitties. It's true. Today's Houston Roller Derby Bout No. 4is not only a knock-down drag-out sports match among four teams of certified hosses; it's also a benefit for the Houston Humane Society. Save your cooing, though -- the only thing sweet about this hard-core flat-track action will be the thrill of victory as each of the two winning teams vies for the championship game in September. First, the Psych Ward Sirens battle the Bayou City Bosses. Then, after a half-time show by Private Eye, the Machete Betties take on the Burlesque Brawlers. Check out the hot wheels at 7 p.m.

Justin Bieber Retiring: 'Boyfriend' Singer Says He's 'Gonna Quit Music' after Dropping Next Album (VIDEO)
By Minyvonne Burke firstname.lastname@example.com | Dec 17, 2013 10:07 PM EST
Justin Bieber is quitting music. At least that is what's buzzing around the Internet after the 19-year-old singer hinted about an early retirement on the Power 106 radio show in Los Angeles. The host asked Bieber about his new album and instead of dishing on it he dropped a major bombshell.
"Um, I'm actually retiring, man," Bieber said. "I think I'm probably gonna quit music."
The singer made the surprising remarks with a straight face but the video clip ended before fans could find out if he was serious or not. The full interview will air tomorrow morning (Dec. 18) on Power 106.
E! News said Bieber's rep refused to comment on the remark but a source said that he was joking and "of course it's not true." Following the remark "Beliebers" took to Twitter to express their shock and confusion.
"Justin Bieber is retiring? What the hell, my life is just over," @K_McCloskey7 tweeted.
"Justin Bieber retiring? I love him to death but I do feel no one will miss him. His best music was when he was 15 and cute & not 20 and hot," @BrooklynneKal posted.
"pls tell me that Justin isn't retiring pls I really wanna meet him but im so far away omfg," @aye_jeliebers wrote.
This isn't the first time the "Boyfriend" singer has threatened to retire. Back in 2012, he told the website that it could be a challenge to wake up every morning and have to face criticism and negativity in the media.
"I got to the point where I thought, 'I don't want to do this. I just want to be normal,'" he said. "It was difficult because I'd never gone through anything like that. Usher was like, 'Prepare to have this for the rest of your career because it's not going to stop.' He's gone through some stuff and most artists go through their fair share of bull. That was just my first time."

What is more absurd?
Grown men pushing around little toy soldiers?
Grown men pushing around little toy soldiers which also happen to be clowns?
Tyranids have been getting some Fritz love as of late, I've got a slew of Necron posts in the queue, so now it's time to work on the harlequins some more- one of my favorite armies for 40K…
The clowns, and Eldar in particular are in a very interesting place as of the moment- are we getting an update soon or not?
Right now my Harlequins are still in their 40K 5th edition configuration and while still "playable" they are nowhere near optimal for 6th, well as optimal as a themed army can be. Since the core of the army is 30 Harlequins on the table and that isn't going to chance it makes me hesitant to update the army since I don't know what new units or sweeping changes are going to happen to Eldar. GW I'm ready to spend some coin, but you are silent on the releases and I'm not buying till I know!
Will they be a completely new book like Dark Angels, or will they kind of be stuck in the middle with a few new units like Necrons?
I've experimented with DE allies but I'm not ready to take that further since I don't want to build an army based on fortune/guide/doom only to have that taken away.
I also wonder if the Harlequins will chance themselves in terms of units, characters, and wargear? Sure GW did an easy cut and paste job from the Eldar codex to the DE codex, but who knows?
So, for now it is the waiting game, but in what direction have they been heading for those of you interested?
I used to rock just Eldrad, and then Maugan-Ra at 2K points, but now Eldrad and another seer is needed to keep the 30 clown up.
Can't get away with just rangers anymore, pathfinders are mandatory and I've been moving to groups of three to four.
Wraithlords have been on the way out, and it KILLS me to say that…
I love the 'lords, but with plasma EVERYWHERE, flyers of doom all around, and big blob units that are fearless to tarpit my wraithlords they just don't work anymore or even remotely make the point back. When your three wraithlord die in a single turn of shooting in a couple if different games it's time to take another look…
On the plus side that DOES free up a ton of points for the second seer, pathfinders and something else- and it's that something else that I'm working on.
Something that can fit in well with the synergy of the army for now, and a slot of points free so when the new codex does drop I've got some options.
I'm going to be hitting up some of the more local tournaments this month with Jawaballs and I'd love to formally get the Harlies back on the table, or if not then at least my foot Eldar…

Does my face retrace the anger,

Do my curves exhaust a notion,

Does my smile rile your insides,
and shadow a subtle act?
Do my hips which sway in elegance,
bestow this monstrous attack?
Yet, I still thrive.
Does my laughter force the cringe,
grimaced upon your face?
Do my fingers not gently guide you,
to a once happy, exotic place?
Yet, I still thrive.
Does my spirit not depict beauty,
of a once stunning shore?
Do my lengthy legs not confine you,
in perfect synchronization anymore?
Yet, I still thrive.
Does my sensuality no longer appease,
the thirst once quenched within?
Do my eyes announce the sadness,
of forever living in sin?
Yet, I still thrive.
Does my lonely heart sob uncontrollably,
noting a broken bond of hate?
Do my tears not convey the purpose,
of two lost souls with opposite fates?
Yet, I still thrive.

Andre 3000 (via jessethorn)
I have intensely mixed feelings about this quote. It's a nice sentiment in theory but the actual output of its source isn't working in its favor. Because uh… nobody wants a damn Andre 3000 toothbrush! And I sincerely doubt that Andre 3000 possesses the skills necessary to design a good toothbrush. It'd probably have polka dots all up on the bristles.
Oftentimes "just making cool stuff" without acquiring the competency level to do it well only equates to filling space. (Being a famous rapper engenders and amplifies this sort of behavior. Dudes suddenly have a platform for their laughably bad cool stuff.) It'd be pretty hard to qualify any of the non-rapping creative work he's done in recent years - actor, kilt designer, shaving cream spokesperson - as particularly good.
I'm not of the belief that Andre owes us anything in particular with regards to rapping, if he wants to be a hermit then let him be a hermit. But if he's going to slang toothbrushes instead he owes it to his audience to do it right. He needs to bury himself in the craft of toothbrush cobbling and only emerge when he's actually reached a base level of competency, if not excellence. Maybe, after years of practice, he could eventually make a toothbrush that was even half as good as ATLiens. Gums everywhere would love that shit and his idealism above would finally be validated.
Or he could just focus on doing that one thing that he's already very good at.
(via tumblinerb)
Andrew's really fair in this assessment.
Here's the thing: I definitely don't think Andre owes me shit. I would love to hear him rap more, but I don't think he's actively pushed any bullshit on me. He's acted (passably) and sung (passably) and designed clothes (very very well, actually), and he's been very cool about all of it.
I mean, even people who are *good* at something they're not famous for get slammed for trying it. I heard someone tell the story of how much they enjoyed a song being sung by Scarlett Johansen and then they found out who was singing it and thought it was a cruel trick. No! She's a good singer. Maybe not as good as she is at acting, but dang, why should being really good at one thing disqualify you from being OK to pretty good at another?
So: I guess what I'm saying is that Andre really has pursued the things that he's pursued with great vigor and passion. I'd say his greatest non-rapping success was as a designer. He's one of my favorite new designers of the past five years or so, and I think I'd say that even if he wasn't one of my favorite rappers of all time. Benjamin Bixby was a wonderful line, and I'm delighted to read that it's returning.
He'll never be a great singer, he just doesn't have the instrument, but by all accounts (that I've heard, anyway) he has pursued the singing and guitar playing with tremendous diligence. Same with the acting (which I also think he's OK but not especially great at.) The man's got broad interests, but I don't think it's fair to suggest he's a dilettante.
I know that when I had success (on my own modest scale) with The Sound of Young America, it made me want to pursue Jordan Jesse Go, and when I had that working, I wanted to pursue Put This On. And some of that has succeeded more than other of it (sorry for the grammar), but I could have just been an interviewer. Which is cool - but I think I wanted to do some other stuff, too. Even if I failed at it or was less of a master at interviewing because I was doing different stuff.
I'd be interested in checking out Andre's toothbrush. I'm not gonna get with that razor, though.
(via jessethorn)
Jesse Thorn is my spirit animal.
Need to put my life in order. Things are getting to that depressing level of sadness and general destitution.
On the plus side, listening to "Oh Comely" at work makes me feel better.
Downton Abbey is straight up boring. Deal with it, internet. I've watched 6 episodes so far, diligently putting in my time with the series, and I frankly don't give a fuck about anyone or anything on this show. it's all sly smiles and petty scheming, amounting to a big fat boring episode of masterpiece theater carefully stripped of any literary relevance.
I feel like the "British Mad Men" title is tossed around in regards to this show, but the stakes comparatively just seem excruciatingly low. Not that anything on Mad Men is life or death, but the tone feels more deliberate and heightened, making this feel like a fucking soap opera. The irony? Some dude straight up croaks in like episode 3 and the ladies cover that shit up!! And yet I DON'T GIVE A FUUUUUUUUUCK.
Seriously, the tension that Don feels every time someone threatens to expose his secret? Gut wrenching. The whispers of the staff about the propriety of a new frock? Don't give a. FUCK.
The notable exception being Mr. Bates. He seems pretty baller in that quiet, intense way.
Had a quite lovely, ever so idle day. Attempting to get into Downton Abbey. The reprieve is nice.
On the ground in Boston!!! Can't wait to get some Dunkin' in my hot little hands.
This girl gets it.

Selling a bunch of old Vertigo comics on eBay from 1993 (Sandman Mystery Theatre, for those nerdy and curious, a CRIMINALLY underrated series featuring Matt Wagner and Guy David absolutely slaying some sweet pulpy '20 noir), and the back of the issues totally have killer ads for Barq's Root Beer (featuring RUB ON TATTOOS), Alice In Chains "hot new album 'Dirt' (available at Musicland, Tower Records, and Sam Goody)," and THE CROW.
Dude, Barq's has bite? Alice in Chains? Sam Fucking Goody? TOWER RECORDS??? THE CROW!!! I think I have officially become an old man because EVERY SINGLE ONE of those things fills me with a bittersweet wistfulness that only makes the rest of my life feeling like a monochromatic pile of shit.
It even gets better. My collection picks up around 1997 and there are ads for Alice in Chain on MTV Unplugged, Sliders, and Spawn on HBO. Wow.

Abstract. We present the first laboratory and ambient photoacoustic (PA) measurement of aerosol light absorption coefficients at ultraviolet (UV) wavelength (i.e. 355 nm) and compare with measurements at 405, 532, 870, and 1047 nm. Simultaneous measurements of aerosol light scattering coefficients were achieved by the integrating reciprocal nephelometer within the PA's acoustic resonator. Absorption and scattering measurements were carried out for various laboratory-generated aerosols, including salt, incense, and kerosene soot to evaluate the instrument calibration and gain insight on the spectral dependence of aerosol light absorption and scattering. Exact T-matrix method calculations were used to model the absorption and scattering characteristics of fractal-like agglomerates of different compactness and varying number of monomers. With these calculations, we attempted to estimate the number of monomers and fractal dimension of laboratory generated kerosene soot. Ambient measurements were obtained in Reno, Nevada, between 18 December 2009, and 18 January 2010. The measurement period included days with and without strong ground level temperature inversions, corresponding to highly polluted (freshly emitted aerosols) and relatively clean (aged aerosols) conditions. Particulate matter (PM) concentrations were measured and analyzed with other tracers of traffic emissions. The temperature inversion episodes caused very high concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters less than 2.5 μm and 10 μm, respectively) and gaseous pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The diurnal change of absorption and scattering coefficients during the polluted (inversion) days increased approximately by a factor of two for all wavelengths compared to the clean days. The spectral variation in aerosol absorption coefficients indicated a significant amount of absorbing aerosol from traffic emissions and residential wood burning. The analysis of single scattering albedo (SSA), Ångström exponent of absorption (AEA), and Ångström exponent of scattering (AES) for clean and polluted days provides evidences that the aerosol aging and coating process is suppressed by strong temperature inversion under cloudy conditions. In general, measured UV absorption coefficients were found to be much larger for biomass burning aerosol than for typical ambient aerosols.

This is a tumblelog dedicated to the wonderfully talented Mr. Brandon Boyd.
ATTN: Please be sure to read the DISCLAIMER page, which can be found within the drop down menu below. Thank you.
That was the most perfect part of the concert, I can't get it out of my mind. And I don't want it to, I want it to stay with me forever.

Incubus in Las Vegas by Max Roper
(via brandonboyd)
Happy Halloween!
Brandon Boyd, Incubus
Before he was writhing around shirtless as the frontman of Incubus — then, later, in his new project Sons of the Sea — Brandon Boyd was just a tow-headed 4-year-old, staring wide-eyed at this funny little thing called life.
"This is about all my mom could rustle up on short notice," he told News. "I am obviously a lil' cowboy looking for sustenance on the prairie in the form of candy."
Ain't you "Stellar," kid?

Living Art, a Conversation with Brandon BoydLook over your shoulder and suddenly two decades have passed since the inception of Incubus. Frontman Brandon Boyd is unsure how history will treat the legacy of the seminal alt rock group, but he doesn't seem to be slowing down when it comes to transforming his ideas to tangible art forms. A new book out this month, So The Echo, Boyd's third, documents his exploration of imagery through sketches and his recent foray into watercolors. On top of a steady stream of drawings, Boyd has put together yet another album, the 10th in his long career, with a new group, Sons of the Sea. As with his sense of style in general, "for better or worse" he says, the sound of the self-titled LP is unabashedly Californian. We caught up with Brandon to uncover his approach to different mediums and how it all ties together.
You have a book and an album coming out in a few weeks — so you've been busy?
Yes, a busily buzzing bee. I haven't felt fragmented though; no feeling as yet that I am spreading too thin. More of a sense of approaching a more realized sense of self and purpose, if you will.
Tell us about the new book.
This newest book is probably my most legible work to date. I enjoy the results of the first two, but in retrospect they indeed have a kind of scatterbrained effect. This book has a little of that, it did originate from a brain that scatters on occasion, but it (the process) felt more focused than it ever had before. Though the drawings, paintings and writings are born of a loving chaos, the way I organized and presented them this time around have more of a flow than I'd ever been able to achieve before. It has a table of contents and chapters for Christ's sake!
What's behind the name, So The Echo?
I borrowed the term from the second half of one of my favorite adages: "As the call, so the echo." Then I felt like it just sounded beautiful, so I found myself writing it down often.The cover features an "all-seeing eye," and I've read that you have something similar tattooed to your back. What draws you to that imagery?
For many years I didn't know completely why I always gravitated towards this old archetype. But in recent years it has occurred to me that one of the most fascinating and therefore important pursuits in my life has been the study of, the relative and fleeting understanding, and expansion of consciousness. Consciousness expressing itself in Human form is an endlessly fun and fruitful game and I have come to understand the image of the eye illuminated in light as a representation of consciousness becoming aware of itself through the human experience. Hence the human eye and the light of illumination spilling out of it. At least once a day I get a tweet or a message on some form of social media asking if I am part of the Illuminati or a Satanist, etc, etc. I respond to those queries by not responding; not because I am hiding anything, quite the opposite! But more so because who am I to rob someone of their weird fantasies and projections?
When did you start making sketches?
When I was but a wee lad! I have been drawing since I can remember.
You use a lot of watercolors in your work, is there a reason you like that medium?
It's a new love affair! Watercolors have temporarily replaced acrylics as my favorite medium. I am sure something else will come along at any moment and grab me by the chin, redirecting my attentions. I enjoy how little control I have over it; I am forced into a kind of creative surrender.
How does your approach to art differ from that of music?
My approach to both is very similar, in that I rarely know what the hell I am doing until well into the act. Both seem to encourage a spontaneous involvement that forces me into the present moment in ways that are inaccessible to me otherwise. I find that very thing is what has kept me enamored of art and music for so long; modern life is so bent on robbing us of our nowness that when we find something that snaps us out of our collective delusions it is to be held high!
How has your music has evolved over the years?
That is a hard question to answer with any authority. I think you would be better served asking someone who was "not me." I know the music I have made and or contributed to has indeed morphed and turned over all of these years, in some ways to our listeners disappointment and in others to their great joy. But the one thing that has not changed is the intent with which I arrive. I'd like to think that I have always shown up with the best of intentions while holding our listeners in very high regard. A willingness to challenge them emotionally and intellectually, and to not merely give them what I think they want. I'd be doing them a grave disservice to do so and I probably wouldn't smile as much as I do if I weren't here for the right reasons. (Insert smiling and winking emoticon here, please.)
Can you tell me a bit about Sons of the Seas?
SotS was born of that same intentionality! A simple desire to see what would happen if you put two highly enthusiastic dudes, both with a penchant for caffeinated creativity, together in a recording studio and let them go bananas. There was no record label, no timeline, no real budget, and not even really a plan to speak of! And it was some of the most rewarding music making I've experienced since I was a kid. I'd recorded three Incubus albums with Brendan O'Brien and each was its own unique ride that left my hair tousled, my heart a couple sizes bigger and our listeners even more confused than before. Hopefully in a good way. But I had never worked only with Brendan as a songwriting partner, so when Incubus returned home from our tour behind 'If Not Now, When?' he and I started musing about the idea of getting together and just fartin' around with some guitars, some duct tape and his Grammy winning producing skills. wink-wink… What resulted was surprising, to say the least, but I am so thrilled to be surprised after two decades of work. Once again, it makes me smile.
How do you see the legacy of Incubus?
Still unfolding… (Imagine those two words spoken slowly in Don LaFontaine's voice.)
Whom do you consider a style icon, in art, music, or otherwise?
The way Egon Shiele painted and drew has had an effect on the way I dress and my sense of style. The Spy vs Spy characters from MAD magazine have as well. Don't know why, they just do. Let's see, who else…? I'm sure there's all kinds of stuff I'm forgetting, but let's just say that I'm a tad style confused. California has had an indelible effect on my sense of style, for better or worse.
Are you still surfing often?
Yes indeed. Surfing can be spoken of in the same breathe as art. It's a living art! And one where the lines you draw are erased beautifully and effortlessly by an artist who knows no rival. So there is an abandon required to involve oneself here, and in more ways than one. Your canvas is a unique palate, born of wind and tide and travels thousands of miles to reach you, where you, in a last homage to its fleeting beauty, draw lines across her body before she destroys herself on the sand. All of that and you get to go fast and splash in the water with your friends.
What's up next for you?
Well shit, now I wanna go surfing.
What is your WILD Wish?
To be alive and still kicking when we wake up from the vast, collective illusions of war, separation and aloneness. I think it would be really beautiful to read the headlines one morning that said something like this:

Venezuela bans hostile videogames and toys.
Anonymous Coward writes | more than 4 years ago0
An anonymous reader writes "In an effort to "help improve child education and prevent misconduct", the venezuelan government began enforcing a law on March the 3rd banning war videogames and toys, imposing a fine and 2.5 years in prison on the production, distribution, sale, hiring and use of video games and toys inciting violent behavior.
Alberto Federico Ravell, former director of opposing news network Globovision, has already come on twitter denouncing the authorities for seizing imported gameboy, wii and playstation 3 consoles, due to considering them violent."

You want to date me? Then buy me something nice. Photo: Getty
It's a week like any other: Joe Blogs continues his search for love. He checks out his various dating profiles, sends a few messages, and then decides to strike out with a new dating app that lets him offer to buy his prospective paramour a tank of petrol in exchange for her driving to a coffee shop to meet him. She accepts, and they have their goodbye kiss over the unleaded pump.
No, it's not a scene from some as-yet unreleased romantic comedy, but the world put forth by new dating app Carrot Dating. A sort of unholy union of Tinder and eBay, Carrot Dating's premise is simple (if sure to make you a little nostalgic for a simpler time): convince people to go on dates with you by offering them a material gift in return. In other words, by dangling a carrot in front of him/her.
The official spin from Carrot Dating's creators is certainly a step away from the usual "love yourself so that others can love you" spin. Rather, they posit that whatever special gifts you bring to the date or burgeoning relationship are literally that, gifts: "This unique approach teaches singles to always bring something to the table. Whether it is a special gift or a unique activity, the Carrot Dating app gives you the power to prove your worth and date the man or woman of your dreams."
It's perhaps not surprising that the app has a certain hint of the mercenary to it: Carrot Dating was designed by Brandon Wade, an MIT graduate who also invented SeekingArrangement.com (where enterprising young women – and a few men – seek "sugar daddies" and "sugar mommies") and WhatsYourPrice.com (where singles are able to set a price, yes really, for a date with them), among a number of other dating enterprises that would make Scrooge McDuck nod in appreciation.
There's been plenty of consternation about Wade's growing dating empire. The more polite coverage simply calls his success "controversial", where others have called him "Mr Sugar Daddy" and wondered whether he is "a legal pimp".
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Wade dismissed the writer's claims that his spin on dating is effectively prostitution "because there is chemistry involved in these relationships. It's not a one-time exchange of money for sex. Most people who meet on the site don't have sex on the first date. After a relationship forms, sex becomes part of the relationship."
The obvious difference between Carrot Dating and Wade's other sites is that bringing a gift (or, if you want, a bribe) isn't all that different from hokey old-fashioned ideas like bringing a heart-shaped box of chocolates to your date's front door.
So, does Carrot Dating bring a new dimension of, well, desperation to the notion of "desperate and dateless", or does it simply recognise that the dating world is competitive and the offer of a new pair of shoes or tank of petrol might be just the kicker to lift your message above the throng?
It's true that, even at the best of times, dating can seem a little like hard work. From the vague hint of "job interview" of the inevitable 20-question-style initial banter to the logistics of where, when and who pays what, the search for the one – or even just someone – isn't necessarily non-stop romance.
But if you need a "carrot" in order to get to those 20 questions, you've got to wonder if your heart's really in it – and if you need to be the carrot-dangler (as it were) to get a date, it might be time to step away from the dating circuit and have a good hard look at yourself.

Bank and Thrift Regulation:
Observations on Proposed Changes to Appraisal Requirement
T-GGD-94-102: Published: Mar 1, 1994. Publicly Released: Mar 1, 1994.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the threshold for exempting federally insured financial institutions' real estate transactions from appraisal requirements, focusing on the proposed change in the threshold and its effect on real estate valuation, deposit insurance funds, and consumers. GAO noted that: (1) current law requires appraisals for all financial institutions' real estate transactions and that states implement programs for licensing and certifying appraisers; (2) the appraisals must be written, comply with uniform standards, and be conducted by competent and professional individuals under proper supervision; (3) most regulators have raised their appraisal threshold to $100,000 because low loss rates make appraisals unnecessary; (4) the regulators' proposed threshold change includes raising the threshold to $250,000, expanding and clarifying existing appraisal exemptions, and identifying additional circumstances under which appraisals would not be required; (5) objections to the threshold change include safety and soundness problems, increased risk exposure from inadequate appraisals, failure to affect credit availability, and the negative impact on loan applicants; (6) proponents believe that the risk to deposit insurance funds will not increase, inadequate appraisals are not a problem, lending costs will decline, loan closings will be expedited, and appraisals for most residential properties will still occur; and (7) the proposed change could reduce consumers' costs and the regulatory burden, but there is little information on the adverse impact of appraisals on consumers.

Using very similar internet sites, married couples can easily additionally do on electronic camera for the enjoyment of others. Gay fuck differs from phone lovemaking because it offers a greater diploma of anonymity and also enables attendees to comply with companions much more simply. An excellent price of gay fuck takes place between companions that have actually only encountered online. Unlike phone intimacy, gay fuck in converse rooms is hardly industrial. Gay fuck could be actually taken advantage of for compose co-written original myth as well as follower fiction by role-playing in 3rd individual, in online forums or societies often understood through the name of a discussed dream.

In situations similar to this, the individuals typing often consider on their own separate bodies from the "folks" captivating in the adult actions, considerably as the author of a book typically performs not fully relate to his or her characters. As a result of this distinction, such job players generally choose the term "sensual play" as opposed to gay fuck for mention that. In genuine cam individuals often continue to be in character throughout the whole life of the call, for include advancing right into phone lovemaking as a form of improvisation, or, nearly, a performance craft. Often these persons develop complicated past records for their personalities to help make the fantasy a lot more life like, hence the transformation of the term true cam. Gay fuck offers numerous benefits: Because gay fuck could delight some adult-related needs without the hazard of a venereal disease or even pregnancy, that is actually a literally safe method for youths (like with teens) in order to try out adult notions as well as emotional states.

Gay fuck permits real-life companions who are actually actually split up to remain to be intimately intimate. In geographically separated connections, it can perform for endure the adult-related size of a partnership in which the partners see one another only occasionally encounter to deal with. This can enable companions to function out problems that they achieve in their lovemaking everyday life that they feel awkward taking up or else. Gay fuck permits adult-related expedition. For instance, it could make it easy for attendees to impersonate fantasies which they will not impersonate (or even possibly will not also be actually genuinely feasible) in real world through role playing as a result of bodily or even social limits and also possible for misunderstanding.

Worm Droppings
Whether you call it Worm Droppings, Worm Castings or Worm Poop, the end result is Vermicompost; a soil amendment containing micro-nutrients which are not available in traditional fertilizers or soil additives.
Vermicompost comes from worm farming or composting such as Red Wiggler, African Night Crawler, white worms, then harvesting the Worm Castings or Worm Droppings (poop). This end product is a natural fertilizer, which can be used for lawns, trees, vegetable garden and other plants.
It's often called Black Gold
Worm Droppings (Vermicompost) are all natural and organic, it improves soil structure while building deeper, stronger root systems, encouraging greener, healthier growth of all plants, flowers, shrubs and lawns. This is why it's called Black Gold.
Basically, Vermicompost comes from worms and makes an excellent organic pesticide free plant food. It's a fact that Vermicompost will help improve the soil of your lawn and garden. Healthy soil is the long-term key to lawn and garden success. Without fertile soil, plants cannot thrive.

How To Create A Worm Farm
Worm Composting is a method of recycling food and garden waste into a rich, dark, soil conditioner. It's environmentally friendly and saves money in the process.
Start with a suitable container, which we'll call our Compost Bin. This Compost Bin does not have to be big; any 10-gallon Rubbermaid Tub with a lid will work.
ü Add holes to the lib – worm require fresh air
ü Line the bottom with shredded newspaper, and then dampen it slightly
ü Add sand on top of the newspaper (play sand will work)
ü Add primary bedding material like composted manure or other organic dirt
ü Add in the worms (approximately 1 pint), spread them out over the bed
ü Cover worms with 1 additional layer of bedding
ü Add kitchen scraps (vegetable based, avoid fatty foods like cheese & meat)
ü Add 1 additional layer of compost to the top and dampen slightly
ü Cover with lid and place Compost Bin in a shaded, cool location
ü Add kitchen scraps as needed until the Compost Bin is full
Once full, it's time to harvest your Worm Castings. This end product is called Vermicompost, which is an all-organic, fertile soil amendment, or Black Gold.
Tests have shown that a 20% – 40% mix of Vermicompost with your regular soil or potting soil is an effective blend for your plant or garden.
