Model Andrej Pejic Comes Out As a Transgender Woman
The world was introduced to androgynous model Andrej Pejic when he modeled both male and female clothes on the cover of ELLE magazine. But now, after supposedly undergoing a sex change, Andrej has officially come out as a transgender woman named Andreja, who will presumably stop modeling male clothing altogether.
Morning Wood: Alexander Masson
Ladies, today's Morning Wood Gallery might get you fired. Click the link with caution.
A loyal reader writes:
Alexander Masson (born Jan 1, 1993) is a French Colombian male model with amazing presence. This year, Alexander made his second appearance in a Jennifer Lopez video, for her song "I Luh Ya Papi". This further cemented his standing as one of the most recognizable and in-demand newcomers. Alexander's immaculately maintained hairstyle of "locs", toned physique, and easy ability to go from "adorably boyish" to "smoldering" are all factors in him being a sought after face in the industry.
Alexander was born in Arlington, VA and moved to France, where he lived for six years before returning to the United States. After graduating from high school with a high 3.7 GPA, Alexander decided not to attend college, but instead pursue his career in the modeling industry. In 2013, Alexander booked his first modeling gig in Jennifer Lopez "Adrenalina" music video where he played the role of a drummer. He left such a lasting impression that Jennifer Lopez recommended him being cast in her new music video, "I Luh Ya Papi".
Alexander's advice to aspiring models: "If it's your passion, don't give up. Take the necessary steps to ensure your success."

Market Study Analysis for the Assessment Year 2015 - Johnson County
Jan. 1, 2015
Pursuant to Kan. Stat. Ann. 79-1460a.
A study of the residential real estate indicators reflects the market has continued to rebound with 90% of the properties increasing in value for 2015. In our annual valuation process, we reviewed over sixteen thousand five hundred residential sales and used this data in a sales comparison analysis within ORION to develop Market values. In addition, the ORION Mass Appraisal system utilizes a national cost service, Marshall & Swift, which provides the Appraiser's office with annual updates each July. No changes were implemented from the annual depreciation study preformed for residential property. Land analysis indicates the supply is in the balance with minor adjustments made to land values.
Overall, commercial real estate values improved. Johnson County values commercial real estate by either the income, cost and market approaches.
The current return of the economy is positive overall, but the recovery is slower for office and retail values. The industrial market is improving at a faster pace and apartment values continue to remain strong.
Apartment rents and occupancy levels continue to increase while capitalization rates are nearly flat across most investment classes. Some capitalization rate compression is indicated for higher investment grades as development and sales occur. New apartment construction reached approximately 2,000 units in 2014.
Industrial markets improved slightly with nominal changes in rents, improving absorption rates, and flat to declining capitalization rates resulting in a moderate increase in industrial values. Capitalization rates have compressed 0 to 50 basis points depending on size and tenant improvement finish. The industrial market has improved with the completion of the intermodal rail and ongoing construction of storage facilities. Expectations for construction remain strong as the expansion, or phase two, of the intermodal had been publicized.
Office building values are increasing. Office occupancy slightly improved for both southern and northern parts of the County. Rent rates are relatively level to slightly increasing and capitalization rates are seeing compression for larger buildings. Office buildings less than twenty thousand square feet did not see any appreciable capitalization rate change.
Retail development is returning and notably along some major thoroughfares. Rental rates remain flat for most all categories and vacancy continues to be an issue for unanchored shopping centers. Capitalization rates have compressed slightly for most retail categories including higher investment class single tenant retail and strip shopping centers. Restaurant and retail banks remain strong with slight compression in capitalization rates. The overall retail property values are stable to slightly increased.
The annual depreciation study for commercial property resulted in some adjustments to various property types for economic life and other variables. The land study for commercial property was updated again as last year, with continued positive changes in methodology for improved uniformity.

Suspect arrested, dog shot
WICHITA FALLS - A man was arrested and a dog was shot following an incident in the 1200 block of Ridgeway about 6:47 p.m. Thursday.
Samuel Lee Beaty, 40, was arrested and charged with manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, over 4 grams under 200 grams, evading arrest or detention, resisting arrest and on a city warrant for open container. His bonds total $120,365.
Wichita Falls Police spokesman Sgt. John Spragins said the WFPD Gang Task Force made a traffic stop when they saw Beaty pick up a bag of what they believed to be narcotics that someone else dropped. Spragins said Beaty resisted arrest and was Tased. About that time, a dog attacked the officer.
Spragins said after a failed attempt to Taser the dog, the officer fired two rounds, hitting the dog. Animal Control officers were called to collect the dog.
The substance officers found on Beaty field tested positive for methamphetamine, according to Spragins, and weighed approximately 7.6 grams. Spragins said the drugs were packaged for distribution.

Kate Moser is one of the many women who suffer depression and anxiety while pregnant.
One minute they're contentedly snuggled in the sanctuary of their mum's tummy, and the next they arrive into an overwhelming reality of lights, cameras and action.

Daily Life For Master Gardeners
A New Pest for an Old Favorite
By Andrea Peck
Agapanthus, or African lily, is a mid-sized plant with small, tubular flowers that form a clustering habit. From far off it looks like one big spherical ball of flowers set on top of a smooth green leg of a stem. Most often they are blue, but can come in purple, white or pink. The leaves are rich and green and kind of floppy, just like a lily. The agapanthus is less girly and delicate and more what you might call, sturdy female. It would be surprising if you had never seen one because they are grown around malls and shopping centers—anywhere that you find hardpan and broken sprinklers. Easy to grow and resistant to pests and diseases, the agapanthus is probably the official flower of the mall landscaper. If you see them often enough you may grow weary of them despite the fact that they actually are very pretty plants.
But, all this may change for the lovely, though utilitarian, agapanthus. It appears it has developed a nemesis in the UK (It has not been sighted here in North America). The pest goes by the name of agapanthus gall midge. The name sounds somewhat innocuous but it can cause mayhem when the flower buds become disfigured and discolored before falling off, leaving only floppy leaves and a beefy stem.
Until 2014, the midge remained in a cloak of invisibility. Personally, I thought that trick was reserved for superheroes or their foes, but interestingly, new pests do surface from time to time. The creature is so new that it has not even been given a scientific name.
The damage is caused by the larvae, icky maggot lookalikes, of a small fly. The fly lays eggs on the flower buds of the agapanthus and when the eggs hatch the flower begins a slow descent into flower netherworlds. Because the pest is new to the scene, not much can be said as far as lifecycle or control. The larvae are about 3mm in length, a creamy white or orange, and can be found inside flower buds, sometimes in a milky liquid of their own making.
To 'Catch' a Dragonfly

Is This a Cockroach?
Advice from the Help Desk of the Master Gardeners of Contra Costa County
I found this "bug" in my kitchen sink. Could you tell me what it is and what I should do about it?
Help Desk Response:
Thank you for contacting the Contra Costa Master Gardener Help Desk. I have inspected your insect sample, and suspect that it is a young (nymph stage) of an Oriental cockroach. This variety of roach prefer damp areas and cooler temperatures. They are most commonly found in single family homes surrounded by vegetation, and will come into homes in search of food. They are more slow moving than other roaches, and do not fly. Because of this, they will often be found trapped in sinks or bathtubs. Because Oriental cockroaches will take one to two years to grow to their adult size, you may be seeing only the nymph stage from a recent hatching.
I have included a link below from the UC Davis Integrated Pest Management website that will provide you with more information about roaches, including the most effective methods of control. A combination of baits, traps, sanitation, and exclusion methods are discussed.
In the event that you decide to consult a professional exterminator company, I have also included this link providing information on how to choose a pest control company:
I hope you find this information helpful. Please do not hesitate to call us again if we can be of assistance.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
10 Feb 2008 21:04 GMT | Sport, Cameroon, Egypt
Champions: Egypt captain Ahmed Hassan holds the trophy aloft [AFP]Egypt won its sixth Africa Cup of Nations title, whilst defending its title, by beating Cameroon 1-0 in the final.
Mohamed Aboutreika scored the only goal in the 77th minute of a tightly fought contest, converting Mohamed Zidan's cross for his fourth goal of the tournament.
It was a crucial error from captain Rigobert Song that led to Aboutreika's goal.
The Cameroon captain had two chances to clear the ball but instead got tangled in a needless duel with Zidan and lost the ball.
Zidan squared it perfectly and Aboutreika finished powerfully in the bottom right corner.
Realising his error, Song pulled his shirt into his mouth and pointed to the skies, as if seeking forgiveness.
Goalkeeper Carlos Kameni ran over and comforted Song.
Cameroon struggled to get shots on goal and there was no player on hand to turn home Stephane M'Bia's cross in the 83rd.
Song had a chance in injury time but headed Geremi's cross over.
Egypt dominated the second half, negating the threat from Eto'o, who received little quality possession and failed to score for the third straight match.
Hosni Abd Rabou hit the post with a header from Amr Zaky's cross in the 62nd as the Indomitable Lions tired.
Kameni burst into tears at the final whistle and had to be comforted by Eto'o.
Defender Augustin Binya dropped to his knees and gazed into the distance as Egypt's players rolled on the floor and hugged in celebration.
Pfister selected Joel Epalle and Alain Nkong in his starting lineup, while Tchato replaced the suspended Andre Bikey.
Bikey was sent off in the 1-0 semifinal win over host Ghana, during which match Epalle helped create Nkong's goal.
Egypt attack from the outset
Early pressure from Egypt meant Kameni had to save Sayed Moawad's long shot in the 10th, and Kameni was almost lobbed moments later when his poor clearance landed at Aboutreika's feet.
Pfister was forced into an early change when Alexandre Song limped off in the 16th and was replaced by Augustin Binya.
Egypt's goalkeeper Esam al Hadary, left, and Mohamed Zidan enjoy the moment [AFP]Cameroon's first chance of the match came in the 18th, but Geremi's free kick from 30 metres was saved by Egypt goalkeeper Essam El Hadary.
Cameroon looked solid in the middle, but Egypt often found outlets down each flank.
Eto'o at last found some space in the penalty area but could not guide his shot on target in the 36th.
A minute later, Egypt's Emad Motaeb only had Kameni to beat, but the goalkeeper brilliantly blocked his shot.
With Egypt dominating the second half, but unable to break down Cameroon's stubborn defense, coach Hassan Shahata brought on Zidan in the 59th in what proved ultimately to be a masterstroke.
Cameroon coach Otto Pfister had been trying to become only the second German to win the African title.
It was his second attempt after leading Ghana to the 1992 final against Ivory Coast.
Winfried Schafer won the 2002 title with Cameroon.

text: A very special friend of mine recently asked me.. "Why do you use Iodised Sea Salt?" My answer, "Health benefits!" What I should have gone onto explain to her was the benefits of salt with Iodine. Iodine is necessary as it enhances fertility as well as prevents miscarriage, mental retardation and brain disorders; hence why in the clinic, we advise wanting and expecting mothers to include a small amount of Iodised Sea Salt in their diets! The mineral has been added to salt to assist us in increasing levels of Iodine in our bodies. However, some would argue that Iodine is synthetic and toxic. I can't disagree – it's tricky! It is something we require and the general population may not be getting enough of.

The screwiest, sexiest, goriest one yet! A lunatic with a grudge against G-strings, pasties, and pretty women is slaughtering the sexy strippers who work for night club impresario Marzdone Mobilie (Henny Youngman. Yes, the Henny Youngman). Not content with mere murder, the psycho enthusiastically mangles and mutilates the women, thus turning Marzdone's go-go girls into The Gore Gore Girls. Trying to solve the gruesome goings-on which include buttocks bashing, eyeball popping, face ironing, and body boiling in a bowl of French fries are obnoxious private eye Abraham Gentry (Frank Kress) and ditzy reporter Nancy Weston (Amy Farrell). And by coercing Nancy to perform in an amateur strip contest, Abraham offers the killer the perfect bait...A wicked mix of sick comedy, topless dancing, and ultra-violence makes the final film from director Herschell Gordon Lewis (Blood Feast) one of the ultimate B-movie gross-outs of all time!

what are the best drugs to prevent facial wasting
Apr 26, 2009
I have been diagnosed about 2 months ago. I am going to start my treatment next month. Do you have any suggestions about what drugs prevent facial wasting and fat loss? Thank you!
Response from Dr. Pierone
The medications that are most closely tied to facial thinning and fat loss are d4T (stavudine, Zerit), AZT (zidovudine, Retrovir) and ddI (didanosine, Videx). This is one of the reasons, among others, that these medications are not used as much anymore in the developed world. The most commonly used first line agent, Atripla, is less likely to cause side effects and facial lipoatrophy.
Good luck!

When I lay a paving stone I am not thinking about the path I am making, but only about laying that stone. I put all my attention into the task at hand and put my best effort into it. This stone will be stable, level with both the ground and the adjacent stone, with just the right sized gap around it. I take care of my body while I lift and move it and I take care of the stone while dropping it gently into place. I am unhurried. I gently smooth out the sand, tending to any lumps and ridges with my bare hands and I notice they are very skilled at this. Then I make allowances for any uneven thickness in the underside of the stone, so that every bit of it is resting, supported on the bed I have made for it. In this way, laying a stone today is always building a good path for a good tomorrow. And when tomorrow has become today and the path is finished, I do not try to keep the path only for myself, but take pleasure in watching others enjoy it, perhaps even a lizard enjoying its heat in the sun. If I notice an ant trail crossing it, if possible I will seek out their nest and rebuild the path around it, because in reality, everything we do, we do for all beings. When the path is truly completed, then it is time to carry out the next task in exactly the same manner. In this way, the Way of the path-seeker is the way of the path-builder.
Happy New Year
Well, we've all wished each other a 'happy new year', but what makes it new? It is not the arbitrary date in the calendar, but the desire to start afresh, to start anew, to create a better person, a better life and a better world; hence the new year's resolutions. We like our resolutions to be clear, measureable and total, such as giving up smoking, but this may not be the best time to commit to such drastic action and many resolutions do not last long. If instead, we focus on more subtle, gradual changes in ourselves, these will improve our mental states and prepare us for a healthier lifestyle some time in the future and we may then find breaking addictions and habits much easier and much more successful. However, subtle, gradual development requires steady, continuous practice, diligence and discipline. It is difficult to set targets or even to know if they have been met or not, but if we do not try, then we are guaranteed to continue making the same mistakes, suffering the same consequences, reliving the same year over and over and over again. So let me wish you a 'Happy New Year' by wishing you the strength and courage to look at yourself, to question your thoughts, opinions, beliefs, judgements, habits and perceptions and to look deeply into what really makes you happy and whether the things you think make you happy actually do. Then you can look at which of your thoughts, words and actions make others happy or unhappy and make a resolution to create a better world! Whatever you do, please do not do nothing. Let us make this a truly new year together.
I Will Look For You
For a very dear friend who died two days ago
My dear friend, Josie.
I will look for you wherever sunshine hides itself away,
And wherever smiles and laughter play.
And I know I will find you
In every leaf and glowing fire.
In the blackest coal and the brightest flower.
In Picasso's blue and Vincent's yellow.
In the still life of a fruit bowl
And the sweet song of Bach's cello.
And in the pebble I picked on the beach for you,
A stone letter from the East.
In it I see the sparkle of your eyes,
And the white light of peace.
Soon I will place it close to where you lie,
Where you can read it still.
And I will lie on the Earth and feel its drumbeat.
I will smell the soil and touch the feet,
Of all who have passed before.
And then, reaching up to the sky,
I will give thanks for the Greatest Gift
Which you enjoyed so graciously,
Until the last,
And know you are alive in me
And the world is still changing constantly,
Because of you.
Boundless love xxx
You, me and every one of us, is nothing less, and nothing more, than distilled, concentrated, essence of Universe.
Love is……..
Giving and receiving
Until, you can no longer tell
Who is the giver, and who is the receiver.
She looked her would-be killer in the eye,
And saw the ignorance
That fuelled the fear
That powered the bullet
That pierced the skull
That passed right through
That took her to the other side,
Closer to the prophet than he could ever be
No matter how many times a day he prayed.
She saw a split second of confusion
When something deep inside himself
Questioned his actions,
But the wheel now firmly set in motion,
Powered by its own momentum,
Could only move in one direction,
Because, for now, he was sure,
He had God on his side.
Not so, later, when the question returned to haunt him.
Could it be the same God that had enabled her to survive?
She came back from the other side,
With wisdom way beyond her years,
Compassion and love in her pure heart,
And the words of all the prophets on her lips.
But that seed of doubt planted within him,
Would begin to grow and not let go.
In its climb towards the light,
It would demand answers.
He would see that light is knowledge
And that humans cannot grow in darkness.
He could only regret and repent,
And hope for some forgiveness.
But she – she dwelled already in the light.
She who had met the final darkness
Was hungrier than ever for its glow,
For knowledge, love and worldly peace.
The power was all hers,
All her fears already faced,
All wounds healed in love's embrace,
All bridges crossed, no trace of hate.
She would surely find many pearls,
She would inspire and change the world.
Even more on truth
There is a grain of truth in every opinion,
and a bucket of lies in every tiny white lie.
Like a rolling snowball, they accumulate and stick,
and as the ball grows, it becomes distorted.
Unfortunately, truths also grow distorted,
and are soon obscured,
engulfed in the fog of misperception,
which descends upon them.
Though the light may be piercing,
still they fade,
becoming harder and harder to find
and harder still to define.

Voila! Brooklyn Backdrop Suits Gaultier Exhibit
Jean Paul Gaultier can barely contain his enthusiasm to be in Brooklyn. Make that his enthusiasm for New York. And life, in general.
In a single conversation, seemingly a single breath, he covers the Chrysler Building; the 1940s film "Falbalas" that started his love affair with fashion; his beloved grandmother who inspired his fascination with corsetry; and the Broadway production of "Nine" that reminded him of it. A joie de vivre oozes with each word.
It leaves one wondering, is there anything Gaultier - he of the famous cone bras, tongue-in-cheek catwalks and rock-star collaborations - isn't exploding to talk about?
But back to Brooklyn. Until he arrived this week to christen the Brooklyn Museum exhibit "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk," he had visited the now-hipster borough twice: once to a fish restaurant that was "very good," he says, and once to visit the nightclub where John Travolta wore his sharp white suit in the 1977 movie "Saturday Night Fever."
"I'm so impressed with Brooklyn," he says in his thick French accent and occasionally broken English, "and this museum is absolutely fabulous. Voila!"
This is no static fashion exhibition with gowns behind glass.
It seems there was no other way to put Gaultier's 30-plus-year career on display than on mannequins that cry, laugh and speak. They do it so realistically that passers-by surely will do a double take. They'll probably drive the security guards crazy at night.
Some of the outfits, including the "cancan" bustier dress lined with photo-printed legs that gives the illusion that an entire dance line is hiding under the full skirt, are on a revolving runway that aims to mimic the models on parade at a fashion show.
"Fashion is not clothes on the hanger, it was always about dressing somebody. Somebody has to be inside," the 61-year-old Gaultier says.
Seeing the childhood teddy bear that he used as his first model, complete with its bra top and red lipstick, in the same space as the iconic concert costumes he created for Madonna, Beyonce and Kylie Minogue "is a privilege of age," Gaultier says. "It's a very strong sensation."

LONDON, Oct 25- European shares fell on Thursday as third-quarter results from the likes of WPP and UPM-Kymmene highlighted worries over the outlook for global growth and earnings and helped keep equities in a tight range.
WPP cut its revenue outlook for the second time this year on Thursday on Europe amid continuing pressure on customer budgets in Europe and North America, WPP CEO Sir Martin Sorrell tol CNBC, highlighting four "grey swans" that threaten the global economy.
LONDON-- WPP PLC, the world's largest advertising group, has lowered its full-year outlook after not doing as well as expected from the Olympics, the U.S. presidential campaign and the European soccer championships.
LONDON-- WPP PLC, the world's largest advertising group, has lowered its full-year outlook after not doing as well as expected from the Olympics, the U.S. presidential campaign and the European soccer championships.
Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO of the world's largest advertising company, WPP, tells CNBC that due to consumer spending on advertising the company generally will lead the downturn and lag the upturn.
Investment bank Credit Suisse raises its rating on the advertising agency sector and hotels sector to "benchmark" from "underweight," arguing that the stocks in these sectors could benefit from a rise in U.S. consumer spending. However, the outlook is far less strong in Europe, " Credit Suisse strategists write in a note.

Fewer than 1 percent of in-store sales tied to brand advertising campaigns on Facebook come from people who clicked on an ad, according to a new study that Facebook has conducted through a partnership with Datalogix, a data mining firm that tracks real-world retail sales.
A slowdown in the broader Chinese economy hasn't had an impact on the advertising market, WPP Group CEO Sir Martin Sorrell, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Friday.
Microsoft and Madison Avenue are in a battle unlike anything we've seen for years. They're fighting over the future of Internet advertising, and the $70 billion annual global ad business is at stake.
