The Downside of The Electric Car
There are two basic lines of thought about the negative impact electric vehicles have. The first is that all the mining, refining, manufacturing and disposal associated with the required batteries comes with significant environmental costs, with special worries associated with the necessary lithium. The bigger issue argues that charging an electric car from a dirty, inefficient grid doesn't reduce emissions, but rather simply shifts them to a new outlet, the power plant. That's the "long-tailpipe" argument, and there are claims that under certain scenarios driving an electric car can be more environmentally detrimental than driving a fossil-fuel car.
The Dark Side Of Solar Panels
The Los Angeles Times reports that we may be trading one evil for another with all of the potential waste generated from the life-cycle of a solar panel. While maybe not as harmful as mountaintop removal from coal or emissions emitted from the millions of cars on the road, the generation of electricity from solar does have its own dark side.Huge amounts of fossil fuels are used in the manufacture of the cells and, just like many other electronics, the waste metals not used in production also present their own disposal problems, mercury and chromium being two of the top problem-makers. We've also reported before that the installation of solar panels also includes toxic materials like the PVC and glues used in the conduit.
How Do We Know There is a Problem?
By looking at Asia, one of the leaders in solar applications, we see an area that is starting to have disposal problems from the use of all of the toxins during manufacture. In addition, the electronics industry generated 2.6 million tons of waste in 2005, most of which was ditched in landfills or incinerators, or shipped to developing nations for disposal. Meaning that either way it leached into groundwater, harmed the air or directly harmed people during the dismantling.

10 Worst Toxins in Your Home
By Claude Morgan
Household toxins? Look no further than your kitchen cabinets.
It's official: Staying home is hazardous to your health. Toxins found in the home injured 789,000 Americans between 1992 and 1995, and new research suggests that this figure is underestimated.
"Toxins in U.S. homes now account for 90 percent of all reported poisonings each year," says Ross Ann Soloway, administrator of the American Association of Poison Control Centers. That's an epidemic of hazardous living by any standard. And while these figures include everything from non-fatal aspirin overdoses to the deadly consumption of drain cleaners, they fail to include long-term exposure to toxins like lead and asbestos.
To address the climbing domestic injury rates associated with household toxins, Congress and the Centers for Disease Control in 1992 created the Unintentional Injury Center to focus on the health dangers of consumer goods and modern home living. Other federal agencies are following suit. The EPA now has branches which deal with home indoor air quality, lead exposure and ubiquitous low-level toxicity, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development publishes a pollution look-out list for first-time home buyers.
The short list of toxins under your roof may surprise you:
- Formaldehyde offgasses (evaporates) from cushions, particleboard and the adhesives used to manufacture most inexpensive wood-based products. Carpets and carpet cushions may also offgas formaldehyde, causing eye and upper respiratory irritation. According to the EPA, formaldehyde may even cause cancer;
- Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, warns the Surgeon General. Radon is a natural radioactive gas that can seep into homes through cracks in the basement, the surrounding foundation and in well water. It enters the body quietly through the airways;
- Lead keeps epidemiologists returning to the drawing board, says Soloway, "mostly because we know more now about the adverse effects of low-level exposure." Levels once thought to be acceptable are now known contributors to learning disabilities and behavioral problems. Lead is found in paint in older houses, old plumbing and soil near highways and busy roads. It causes neurological and kidney damage, high blood pressure, disrupted blood cell production and reproductive problems;
- Carbon monoxide will kill an estimated 660 Americans this year. Don't look for exhaust fumes in the attached garage; the biggest culprit is the unserviced furnace burning propane, butane or oil; Arsenic is still lacing many household pesticides and is increasingly used as a wood preservative. Low levels of inorganic arsenic "may cause lung cancer risk," according to the CDC. The Department of Health and Human Services agrees, adding arsenic compounds to the list of unknown carcinogens;
- Vinyl chloride is the source of "new car smell": The plastic interior of a new car offgasses this known carcinogen. Water sitting in PVC pipes overnight may also be steeping into a toxic tea. Very large exposures can lead to "vinyl chloride disease," which causes severe liver damage and ballooning of the fingertips;
- Hydrofluoric acid "can cause intense pain and damage to tissues and bone if the recommended gloves happen to have holes in them," says Soloway. This highly corrosive substance is the active ingredient in many household rust removers.
- VOCs But even the most liberal list of known toxins pales next to the order of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs comprise hundreds of natural and man-made, carbon-based agents. They react quickly with other carbon-based compounds, and evaporate easily, making them ideal solvents. VOCs can be found in disinfectants and pesticides, too.
- Solvents: Benzene and methyl ethyl ketome traverse cell walls unchecked by normal cell defense. Both are known carcinogens. Cousins toluene, xylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichloroethylene make up the lion's share of the solvent market;
- Disinfectants: Phenols, which include biphenyl, phenolics and the preservative pentachloraphenol, are found in disinfectants, antiseptics, perfumes, mouthwashes, glues and air fresheners;
- Pesticides: Chlordane, aldrin, dieldrin, though all banned for nearly two decades, continue to show up airborne in older houses.
When the Grid Goes Down, You Better Be Ready!
When the Grid Goes Down, You Better Be Ready!
by Tess Pennington
It is a fact that our country is more reliant on electrical power today than at any time in its history. Our way of life – from everyday conveniences and the security of local emergency services to commerce and communications – is contingent upon an always on, always available flow of electricity. But an aging infrastructure coupled with a rise in natural and man-made disasters threatens our entire modern day digital infrastructure. According to many experts from the private and public sector, we're just one major catastrophic event away from a complete meltdown of life in America as we know it today.
So, what happens if and when the grid goes down for an extended period of time? Aside from the aggravation of not being able to determine what is happening through traditional media channels, for the Average Joe, his problems have only just begun. Our dependency to the grid doesn't just stop at lack of electricity in our homes to power our appliances or an inability to charge our cell phones; it is much broader and affects every aspect of our lives.
We are regularly inundated with news reports covering outages that last several days or weeks resulting from inclement weather like snow storms or hurricanes, or heat waves in southern states that threaten to overload the system. During those times, when entire metropolitan areas or regions experience black outs, we get a glimpse into what a truly widespread emergency might look like. It is often the case that the first thing residents of affected areas do is rush to grocery and hardware stores hoping to acquire critical supplies like food, water, batteries, flashlights and generators. And while these supplies acquired at the onset of crisis may provide short term sustenance, any long-term grid-down situation that lasts for many weeks or months will prove dangerous, and perhaps fatal, to the unprepared.
Consider, for a moment, how drastically your life would change without the continuous flow of energy the grid delivers. While manageable during a short-term disaster, losing access to the following critical elements of our just-in-time society would wreak havoc on the system.
- Challenges or shut downs of business commerce
- Breakdown of our basic infrastructure: communications, mass transportation, supply chains
- Inability to access money via atm machines
- Payroll service interruptions
- Interruptions in public facilities – schools, workplaces may close, and public gatherings.
- Inability to have access to clean drinking water
Neil Swidey, in his article What If The Lights Go Out?, indicates that the grid may be ill-equipped to meet all the enormous challenges it faces in this day and age.
The last widespread outage in the Northeast, the great blackout of August 2003, showed how intimately interconnected and alarmingly fragile our power grid is. How else to explain the way a problem starting in northeastern Ohio quickly cascaded into a blackout affecting 50 million people across the northeastern United States and parts of Canada? How quickly? Between the moment a power surge came rushing out of Ohio and the moment Manhattan began to go dark, exactly 10 seconds had passed.
If our society is more reliant on power than at any time in history – without it, we've got no commerce, no communications, no clean water – and if power becomes less reliable in the future, the big question is: Will we be able to hack it?
THE TROUBLE with the future of power isn't that there is one big problem that could croak us. It's that there are a host of them, any one of which could croak us.
Neil Swidey has grouped these potential grid-down antagonizers into three categories:
1. Extreme Natural Disasters
This includes earthquakes, hurricanes, snow storms, thunderstorms as well as massive solar storms that have the potential to seriously damage the electrical grid. You don't think it could happen? In the article provided above, the author states, "It took just 90 seconds for a 1989 solar storm to cause the collapse of the Hydro-Quebec power grid, leaving 6 million Canadians without power for up to nine hours. A 2008 NASA-funded report noted the risk of significant damage to our interconnected grid in light of the forecast for increased solar activity. The 11-year solar cycle is expected to peak in 2013, and just two weeks ago we saw one of the biggest solar-radiation storms in years.
2. Acts of Terrorists
This category includes, but is not limited to a physical attack on the bulk power system, either at its source of generation or somewhere along its transmission route, cyber attack on the computers controlling our interconnected grid, electro-magnetic pulse, or EMP, weapon. Have you read One Second After by William R. Forstchen? EMP's will create long-lasting damage that would incapacitate electronic systems across the country and forever change our way of life. Cyber-threats are another concern and someone with serious hacking skills could easily take out computers, networks or information stored therein to cause lasting damage to our way of life.
3. The Ailing Grid
Our ailing power grid is almost as sick as our failing economy. With one malicious event, be it man made or by natural means, it is down. Swidey compares the grid infrastructure to being as old and stooped as a pensioner. As it is upgraded and its capacity is expanded, our rapacious need for more electrical power races to max it out once again.
A wide-spread emergency, such as a massive power surge, solar flare or rogue electromagnetic pulse (EMP) detonation have the capacity to render our entire power infrastructure useless. Transformers and other key elements on which the grid depends could be permanently damaged as a result of massive electric surges.
In an event such as this our immediate problem will be finding a way to order, manufacture and take delivery of the components needed to replace the faulty ones. Most of the parts made for our electrical grid are made in China – and many are decades old. According to Congressman Roscoe Bartlett, who recently warned people to get their families out of major cities because of concerns about the stability of the grid, it would take months to get the parts shipped to this country and replaced.
During the outage, millions would be adversely affected, with some like Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy, suggesting that within a year 9 out of 10 Americans would be dead from starvation, disease and violence.
Ladies and gentleman, if there's one thing that can cause the veritable "S" to hit the fan, this is it.
So how do we remedy and/or prepare for a grid down scenario? Think retro – like pioneer retro- and by that we have to go way back to when we were not so dependent on the luxury of on-demand energy in its various forms. When preparing for a grid-down scenario, we must comprise different contingency plans for short-term and longer-term issues. That being the case, we have to admit to ourselves that it could last longer than we expect and much more than just a minor inconvenience. Therefore, the best way to prepare is to start with your basic needs. That is the need for light, heat, water, and food. Some preparedness items to stock up on are:
- Alternative fuel sources such as solar and diesel, wood for burning.
- Food preservation supplies – dehydrators, canners, smokers, fermenting/pickling supplies. To learn more, click here.
- Bulk food – Canned, freeze-dried, dehydrated or dry goods.
- Water filtration supplies, rain harvesting supplies and large quantities of stored water.
- Light sources: Lanterns, flashlights, candles and matches and alternative light sources
- Batteries and chargers
- Emergency stove – solar oven, rocket stove, camping stoves, etc.
- Wood burning fire place – Central air heating systems, even if they use natural gas or propane, depend on electricity for the blower that will circulate the heated air. When the grid is down, this system will not work. Having a wood burning fire place is an alternative to central heating systems.
- Cash money and/or silver or gold currency.
The vulnerability of our grid is nothing new to preppers. Some have seen this problem coming for a long time and changed their entire ways of life by going off-grid. They have found alternative sources such as solar, wind and diesel to power their homes and machinery. A majority of us, who have not gone off-grid, are making a concerted effort to avoid dependence on this ailing infrastructure and preparing for life without it. That being said, all we can do is stay the course, prepare accordingly and continue on.

I've never heard of her before this, but she's one of the stars of Gossip Girl. I'm just about the last blog in the world to post this, but whatever.
Pretty sure it's a viral video released by Nike. I doubt that little blondie is an actual free runner, a sport which requires extremely demanding physical skills. The parkour is probably performed by a stunt woman, or just digitally enhanced.

@Anon, I had to look for images in Google to confirm. Haha! I couldn't believe she was Cindy Lou in that movie!
@Topic, According to an article in Inquisitr.com, a lot of people were talking about this when this video floated all over the Internet. I wonder how it affected Nike's sales.

For a while now, I have been trying to do everything that I can to make sure that I am able to detox my body and get on the path to a healthier life. It has been challenging as I have been having to work with a lot of foods that I don't usually eat. So far, I have managed to learn a lot about the different types of items that can make it so that I can get a lot healthier.
Picking out the right kinds of items that I could use to help with detoxing my body was something that was extremely important to me. There are a lot of different types of colon cleanse products that I have been looking into. I know that these are items that are perfect for detoxifying the body and helping a person to start over feeling great again.
In the next few weeks, I would like to try one of these products just so that I am able to detoxify my body and get on the right track. It is going to be exciting seeing the way that my health shifts once I have the toxins out of my body. I can't wait to see how well this works.

Earlier this month, Social Bluebook launched an investment offering to our customers and the public. The campaign is off to a great start so far and we look forward to building more products to help our users. We want to provide you a bit more information on what this investment opportunity is and why you should care.
How is this possible?
For many years, the only individuals that could invest in an early stage company such as Social Bluebook were high net worth investors, aka 'the rich'. However, in June 2015, a new way of raising capital called "Title IV Regulation A+" became effective through the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission). This way to raise money paved a new, exciting path for companies like Social Bluebook to raise up to millions of dollars from both the wealthy and those of a lesser income.
This is a big deal.
Why is Social Bluebook doing this?
Ever since the founding of Social Bluebook, the company's motto has been 'for creators, by creators'. We had always dreamed of a way to allow not just the wealthy but anyone, particularly our content creator customers, to receive an opportunity to invest and have ownership.
Life is about finding and working with like-minded, passionate people; who better to be our investors than our customers who see the world the way we do? Our goal is to provide those who are truly passionate about our cause a chance to get in on the ground floor and own a piece of a company they believe in.
What do I get for investing?
Why should I care about investing?
You should care for two reasons:
- By investing you have the potential to make money. If Social Bluebook were to experience a liquidation event in the future, meaning the company gets purchased or if we choose to go public, the company's investors have an opportunity to sell their stock and potentially make money from that (but there are no guarantees). Having said this, please understand that we are a startup company and this should only be viewed as an early-stage investment opportunity. As such, it is a long-term investment and commitment.
- Creators need more tools to open new revenue opportunities. Unfortunately, many YouTubers are losing their income. The New York Times just covered how YouTube's recent algorithm shifts have hurt their user base that depend on it for their income.

It's that time of year when zucchini is abundant, and all your friends with gardens are trying to give away their surplus zucchini. You're going to want to take them up on that offer, so you can make this delicious Lemon Poppy Seed Zucchini Bread!
I'm a huge fan of anything lemon and poppy seed flavored, and I love zucchini bread of any kind, so I knew I was going to love these tasty little loaves. And, like most quick breads, this is so easy to make!
My husband has some kind of weird aversion to zucchini. I mean, I can understand not liking it as a vegetable, but he usually refuses to eat it, even in baked goods.
Let's be honest, it's not like you taste the zucchini in baked goods–but he says he can. Well, not only did he eat this bread, he commented on how good it was,
I like making smaller loaves so I can share with friends and neighbors, but you could certainly use full size loaf pans, if you prefer.
I don't bother peeling my zucchini before I shred it, but if you'd rather not have little fleck of green in your bread, feel free to peel your zucchini first.
We just moved into a new house this summer, so I don't have a yard right now, let alone a garden. So I'll definitely be taking my friends up on offers for free zucchini this year!
My family and I really loved this bread for breakfast, but I have to admit, I found myself snacking on it all day long! I can't wait to make this citrus inspired zucchini bread again!
Don't forget to save this recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.

(Adds details, fund manager comments)
By John Tilak and Solarina Ho
TORONTO, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Canadian apparel company Roots Corp has set a price range of C$14 ($14.00) to C$16 per share for its planned Toronto initial public offering (IPO), seeking to raise about C$200 million, according to a term sheet of the deal seen by Reuters on Monday.
Roots, known for its trademark beaver logo, rustic casual wear and Canadian-made leather goods, is expected to price the IPO in the week of Oct. 16, the term sheet showed.
But investors hoping for Roots to score another high-flying IPO debut like its bigger counterpart Canada Goose Holdings Inc may be in for a disappointment, given the company's more modest growth and broader retail challenges, investment strategists said.
In its prospectus, Roots said its 2014 to 2016 compound annual growth rate was about 14 percent, about 2-1/2 times below Canada Goose and lagging fashion-focused retailer Aritzia Inc's 20 percent rate over a roughly similar period.
Norman Levine, managing director at investment firm Portfolio Management Corp, cautions that Canadian listings are typically "priced to perfection," meaning selling shareholders get the best price.
"There's very little, if anything, left for the public afterwards. It takes time for those IPOs to go up should they deserve to," said Levine, who does not invest in new, untested issues.
Canada Goose, which outfits celebrities like James Bond actor Daniel Craig and expedition scientists in its heavy-duty, made-in-Canada, down parkas, has surged some 52 percent since its listing in March. The benchmark Toronto share index has gained less than 1 percent in the same period.
Canada Goose was an exception because it also listed in the United States, where pricing tends to be "less aggressive", Levine said. Canada Goose now trades at a forward price to earnings ratio (P/E) of 39, double its peers, and above its IPO PE ratio, Thomson Reuters data shows.
But Aritzia shares are trading about 7.5 percent below its C$16 IPO price last October and the stock trades at a forward PE ratio of just over 19.
Some strategists said that Roots' launch could also be clouded by a cut-throat retail market that has forced companies to close shop and file for bankruptcy protection, and high consumer debt exacerbated by rising interest rates. "We're not enthused about retail. We're not willing to get into what we consider a risky part of the market," said David Cockfield, managing director and portfolio manager at Northland Wealth Management. "We are definitely on the sidelines."
Roots declined to comment on the price range.

We are Antwerp's all-female roller derby league. We are a WFTDA-Full Member and play competitively. We play roller derby because we love the game's tactics, its speed and its finesses. Roller derby is a big part of our lives. It empowers us and makes us stronger, while at the same time offers invaluable social opportunities. Our league welcomes members from all races and genders.
How it all started
Our league was founded in February 2010 by four women who shared a common interest. During the first year, the pioneering One Love Roller Dolls worked hard on recruiting, learning the basic skills as well as creating a league that is well organized, with a friendly atmosphere and fun loving culture.
Where we are today
Our league consists of +/- 40 skating members, refs and non-skating officials. We practice 3 to 4 times a week, play games regularly, and we've hosted events and bootcamps to share our knowledge.
In November 2012 we've hosted and organized the very first Benelux roller derby tournament 'Skates of Glory'. Besides a buzz of derby high, sleep deprivation and a bunch of bruises, we took home the trophy for 2nd place, right after Go Go Gent Roller Girls. In November 2013 we did it all over again, coming home with similar souvenirs, including the trophy for 2nd place. We were strongly aiming for an upgrade in the trophy department for the edition of 2014, and we did it! We worked really hard for it, but those shiny gold medals are ours now!
In July 2012, we were accepted as an Apprentice affiliate of the WFTDA, the governing body for women's amateur flat track roller derby. As an Apprentice affiliate of the WFTDA, One Love Roller Dolls joined the ranks of more than 100 all-female, skater-owned-and -operated leagues nationwide that have united to lead the growing sport of women's flat track roller derby.
We've graduated to be a WFTDA-Full Member in October 2014, and the pink army is ready to place itself on the roller derby map!
Goals and Vision
One Love Roller Dolls is proud to carry on the tradition of roller derby, and to take on an active role in inspiring women of all walks of life to embrace their inner strength. Our core values are good sportsmanship, respect for all and diversity which leads to bringing honor and distinction to our league.

I'm sorry Violets and Daisies - its been a while...again :P Partly because I've been off the Internet the last 40 days (during Lent, but not really for it), as I needed a break, and partly because I haven't really had anything I have felt like posting. Which is sad!
But anyway, I thought I might tell you what I had been up to with my vocal trio, Cantabile. I don't know if I have mentioned the girls or my singing with them before, but if not, allow me to introduce you to Cantabile Trio. We are a vocal trio who perform all sorts of music, from Andrews' Sisters style to classical and jazz. I sing soprano, my friend Kirstin sings mezzo-soprano and Darryl sings alto.
We first started singing together for a competition, and it went so well we decided to continue to sing together. We love it!
We've worked up a full hour's worth of repertoire, and we're working on more, but now we're just starting to do some proper performing, which is keeping us all very busy!
|Singing at St Andrews Church earlier this year
But anyway, that's enough about Cantabile for now, I just thought I'd give you a little peak into what I've been busy with :) I'm working on writing some proper posts, so hopefully I'll share some of them soon.
Feel free to like Cantabile Trio on Facebook too, for updates and some of our other music :)

The Tempest Within
The Tempest Within
By Tony DeLorger © 2011
Who dares to wake the giant,
the beast that feeds on darkness,
and suckles at the breasts of demons.
Who crosses the line,
entreats the misery of pain and anguish,
to live within the light,
and spit flames of fury on the unsuspecting,
the innocents of circumstance.
Who speaks from me,
my tongue so bent and acid,
words unfamiliar rushing to blacken hearts,
and wound the minds of the contentious.
Like a turbulent flow of lava it rises,
from the depths of me,
toward the light of day,
spewing forth its retched bile,
and suffocating all with breath and life.
It brings the living to their knees,
their hearts stained and weak,
their bodies unresponsive.
Who dares to push,
to implore the temper of hidden rage,
and to unleash the remnants of a struggled life,
the doubts, fears and regrets of past,
held in temperance
until the switch is thrown.
I am but a vessel of my collective experience,
and what is hidden and not acknowledged,
still sparks, if given the chance.
Anger is a malignant force,
partly tethered, always listening,
waiting for a single step from darkness,
to swell into action.
I pray for serenity within,
to crush the path of rage,
and strike at the demon core that begs release.
I am but human.
Words are the most potent drugs ever created for it may heal or destroy a person...but hidden anger or rage may inflict more harm to a person...this poem reflects a part of every human...i am human...
I voted this up because it represented very well the effects of anger or rage stirring. Personally, I can display the lack of patience and I am very patient, so it's constantly keeping it in check. I also place a lot of value on civility, so there's never really room for angst. I am, however, very much aware of what can bring it on. Thanks for this hub.

The Cure
Any child of the 80's may not have heard much of the Cure until their pre-teen years, but arguably one of the best albums belonged to this UK sensation. In 1989 the Cure released the album Disintegration. If this isn't in your record collection; go out and buy it or download it today.
Yes I know the lead singer looks like a character from an episode of Fraggle Rock directed by Tim Burton, but the music speaks for itself. Many a pasty faced teen dressed in black lace, clutching a daisy, and gently swaying in the corner; marked the larger fan base of this group, but for the epitome of pop-Goth the Cure can't be topped.
I wish I had something more biting to say, but you can't harp on something as genuinely entertaining as this.
Check out some of their videos:
Visionaries and Holograms
For those of us who were kids in the 1980's, especially if you are male, you may remember the TV series/Toy Line called Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. Though the story and design were par for the course in the 80's, their main selling feature as toys was the "magical" holograms on their chests and staves. Here is a nice site recording their history and brief existence.
It's funny how many things had holograms in the 80's and just how often we as kids were taken to believe that they were somehow really high tech. I am surprised that cell-phones or ipods haven't been modded with holograms integrated into their designs yet.
- There were the rather similar Supernaturals, who had torsos made of holograms and perhaps a shield to match. With names like Mr. Lucky and Weird Cat, you know the designers phoned it in on that one.
- There were the BAT figures from GI Joe.
- Countless stickers such as this A-Team Lazer Blazers collection.
- I am certain Trapper Keepers had holograms to some extent.
- Here's a wonderful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Cearal box with hologram.
- And let us not forget the hologram glasses still in use for poker tournaments.
Whether you like them or not, holograms made hundreds of children believe that the future of entertainment was to be found in the illusion of depth via an overproduced likeness of something real. And they ended up with Britney Spears. Okay, so they were right.
Reebok Pumps
A wonderful marketing tool, Reebok Pumps had a generation of young boys stopping sports games so they could "pump up" their relatively overpriced shoes. As if that small cushion of air in their sole could acutally affect their inability to hit a free throw or overcome their lack of any athletic ability.
The pair I had for playing Junior High B-Ball looked something like these (see above). They were fun to wear but I had resist the urge to cut open the bottoms and see what was on the inside, almost every time I put them on.
Hey it could have been worse. They could have had some sort of pump handle that flipped out or required an attachment. Not that the pump on the tongue was really that comfortable.
Scandal – The Warrior
I have always wanted to do some MST3K voice overs for tons of music videos. Short of that I hope to feature as many video commentaries as I can. To start let's look at a video that always makes me smile.
Artist: Scandal featuring Patty Smyth
Song: The Warrior
Released: 1984
I guess the co-protagonist is Jeff Goldblum as Die Fledermaus or is that Upholstor the Car Interior Avenger?
Ballet as produced by Marvel Comics.
0:47 You would think the netting villans would always be knocking things over and getting snagged on things. I bet they're a blast at the beach though.
1:20 Bubble wrap girl is a tonf of fun at parties but is just embarrasing during the moment of silence at a funeral.
1:40 Some sort of tropical fish reference perhaps. Maybe their birds, all I know is that they aren't very effective at fighting.
1:50 Bride of Frankenstein as painted by Chagal.
2:225 Bill Maher decides to keep score as Refereedum the Counting Mime.
My question is what are they keeping score on, levels of artistic suicide?
If this was on ice I could understand the horrible costumes.
Ah there is the steam, necessary or any 80's video.
3:34 Luckily someone was there to catch her as no artist other than perhaps David Lee Roth can handle this much spandex in one video.
The funny thing is that as a kid I found this video entertaining. On some level it is still enjoyable and the song is catchy and a great 80's party staple. All in all Patty Smyth is a wonderful musician that got a little too close to a video producer who wanted to start a new genre of music video action heroes.
Before childhood obesity crippled our nation, toy companies began to release semi-innovative ways to perform average childhood actions. One such invention was a toy called Skip-It.
Add together the dynamics of a leg fastened tether ball, the potentiial for harm of a medieval mace, and some glitter,(and later a counting mechanism) and you have the next new toy craze for 1990's America. Or so it seemed.
Granted this "toy concept" had been around since the 1960's, this new "space age" design got parents to buy it for their kids.
I always was a bit frightened of the immediate threat of a being cracked in the shins by an overzealous young girl and my getting to close to the Skip-It. Thanks for the broken ankle Tiger Toys!
Here's a commercial for the "new and improved" Skip-It from 1994.
The most entertaining piece of this puzzle comes via the Wikipedia entry for this toy:
Marshall Swails of Irmo, SC won the 1995 World Skip-It Open at the 1995 Toy Congress in Wolfsburg, Germany. He skipped 300,546 times on his custom glitter filled Skip-It. What was remarkable about this achievement was that nobody cared. He worse(sic) simple white, canvas Keds and a pair of skin tight BIKE bicycle shorts with his name on the side. He did not wear a shirt.
Hypercolor Clothing
For those of you who didn't have some article of Hypercolor clothing, let me refresh your memory. Imagine a shirt that knew when you were sweating, nervous, or had just been groped or physically assaulted by someone nearby. Well, that notion came to reality when Hypercolor clothing was invented.
The concept didn't stay around forever as the fad died within a year or so, but in its day this trend was quite popular for the same kids who like snap bracelets and gummy shoes. (Though these shirts weren't nearly as fun or interesting.) Much like mood rings to the generations before, Hypercolor shirts were a fun ice breaker and "one trick pony" but never really had much permanence. This wasn't due to the product just being rather trivial, the chemical that caused the change to happen was easily damaged if washed improperly.
Though you may be able to find some Hypercolor clothing to this day, I can only imagine the insanity in a school setting when the administration would see kids groping each other trying to imprint their hand on their friend's shirt. Instant school board hate list for this fad I am afraid.

FourJays resident foodie Erica explores her love of sandwiches. She shares a few of her faves!
Sandwiches, better known as the most perfect meal! If you love sandwiches as much as I do, these are not to be missed (these are not in any specific order).
Mother Rucker's is only open until 6 pm so plan accordingly, but they always have parking during the day! Mangialardo & Sons in SE near the Potomac Ave Metro, ask for the G-Man and do yourself a favor and have them heat it up for you – trust me, you will not regret this. Also on the list: A. Litteri at 6th and FL (my first Italian sub love). MGM Roast Beef just a hop, skip and a jump from Union Market, if brisket and turkey sandwiches are what you desire, this is your destination, and everything is available with gravy! Yum!
Last on my list of neighborhood greats – Shawafel, anytime you can get fries in your sandwich which completely filled with meat I'll be there!
If you've got any other great go-to sandwich places I'd love to hear about them I've had some great ones out of my neighborhood (seriously, Fado in Chinatown, I'm looking at you and your delicious lamb french dip sandwich). Alas, it's a big town and so many delicious sandwiches I still need to try – challenge me out of my neighborhood.

A Boynton Beach basketball player makes a drive almost as tough as taking on Patrick Ewing, but he is still averaging almost 27 points a game.
Matt Francisco leaves his house at 7:15 a.m. and drives 40 miles to Fort Lauderdale Christian High, a Class 1A school. Francisco, a 6-foot-6 junior center/forward, is leading all Broward County Class 1A-2A players in scoring with 26.9 points a game. He`s shooting about 60 percent from the field and also averaging about 12 rebounds a game for the 9-3 Crusaders.
Francisco`s father, Roland, was transferred from Sears in Broward County to Boynton Beach about a year ago. He sells major appliances for Sears.
``Even after we moved, there was no doubt about where I was going to go,`` said Fancisco, who had lived in Lauderdale Lakes. ``I liked the coach and all my friends were there.``
And the Fort Lauderdale Christian basketball team`s game plan is simple:
Get the ball to Matt Francisco and wait for results.
``He`s pretty much the main player on the team,`` said coach Eric Johnson. ``Most teams realize that. They work at stopping him from getting the ball, and we work at waiting to get him the ball.``
Rare is the team that doesn`t double-team Francisco or use the box-and-one defense to try to take away his inside game. And rare is the team that succeeds in shutting him down.
And he`s so used to being double- and even triple-teamed that he welcomes the challenge.
``I just keep moving,`` Francisco said. ``You can`t stop someone if they keep moving, so I just keep breaking and cutting.``
And scoring. The closest Francisco came this season to generating all of his team`s offense was when he scored 43 points in a 58-55 win over King`s Academy. Francisco even hit a 3-pointer, his only one of the season, at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.

Ohio is one of the nation's big buck states, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources also has some big fines for poachers. A five-year old law provides for fines to be based on the Boone & Crockett score of a buck. The controversial fines, or restitution as the Ohio DNR calls them, have reached almost $28,000 in some cases. While the amounts can be argued as too harsh, there's no doubt they have gotten the attention of the poachers, hunters and general public. (Photos: Ohio DNR)

Just an update on my dad (previous post of 71 and just diagnosed with possible cerebral vasculitis) finally, after 6 weeks in Pembury, who were pretty useless, my father moved to Kings yesterday.

For whining about my life when
a friend has lost a baby
another friend and his wife might be losing theirs
friends have vows broken by husbands
I have healthy kids, a good life. Sometimes I forget that
I'm sorry
Just another WordPress.com weblog
For whining about my life when
a friend has lost a baby
another friend and his wife might be losing theirs
friends have vows broken by husbands
I have healthy kids, a good life. Sometimes I forget that
I'm sorry
So I'm sitting at my computer doing classwork and Isis runs in and goes "Mommy I did my chore" (we've started a chore chart but dumbass me keeps forgetting about it)
So I get up and follow her thinking she picked up her toys or something. She takes me into the kitchen and says "I swept!"
And so she did. There was a little pile of stuff she had swept up from the kitchen.
So proud
I got no presents, hell I didn't even get a card. But I got to sleep till 8am (6 or earlier is my usual "N2 is awake" time). Made lunch for my mom, went for a bike ride (and yes my big white ass is totally out of shape), re-arranged the office, which is fun for me and went to dinner at Steak n Shake. Yep Steak n Shake. My choice. I didn't want to get dressed up or any of that shit.
The most imporant thing was that N1 was *with* the kids all day, even when his back started to hurt. Now to make that an more than once a year thing
/WAIT, I did get a present. Isis made me one at school. A decorated box with a candle and kisses inside.
//I'll take it
Just random thoughts
I've been thinking about my anti-religion stance and wondering if it is actually anti-religion or just "good FSM I've had enough and I'm just going through some issues to figure out where I stand"
Religion was my LIFE as a child. When your dad is a preacher of an evangelical church, it's not like you have a choice. We were there Wednesday, ALL day Sunday and random other days. So it was true, all of it. It was a given. Mom believes it, and more importantly DADDY believes it, so it must be true.
So you can imagine, when I've finally come to the realization that I don't believe as they do…it's quite a shock. Part of me still goes "you're just rebelling–of COURSE you still believe as your parents"—it's a HARD fucking thing to break away and pretty much reject everything that is important to your parents
N sent me a link that actually hit really close to home for me. I hope it makes sense
Background….I am an Air Force Brat. An Air Force Officer's Brat. An Air Force Officer Chaplain's Brat (but that's a whole nother post). I moved around a LOT. Even after I moved out of my parents house, I still moved. N and I got together in 1995 and since then have moved eight times. Damn. The most important of those moves was from Colorado to California.
California. I lived there for eight years. The longest I lived anywhere. I consider it my home. And we left. Why? Well, N got a gig in Chicago, and at the time we were kind of sick of the California "lifestyle". Monterey is M.O.N.E.Y. Hella HUGE money. And probably the only place where N could find work in CA was San Jose. Blech. After Monterey, even San Jose sucks.
So off to Chicago, which long story short.. COLD!!!!!!!!!! FARKIN COLD!!! I could NOT get out of there fast enough. I miss my PMoms sooo freakin much tho. So we moved to Texas. It seems with each move we get further and further into hell. Honestly, most days it doesn't bother me. Ok so most people here are right wing religious freaks. But I'm finding some shades of "blue" and godlessness here and there. Tolerable. Hell I went to high school and two years of college in Oklafreakinhoma, so I know hell. This is a ring but it is NOT hell.
So what's my problem? I MISS California. Oh noodley FSM I miss it. Thinking about Monterey makes my heart ache. It's an actual physical pain. Why? You would think after three years it wouldn't hurt so much. Just thinking about the Tuesday farmer's market makes me want to bust into tears. But there's no way we could go back. Even if we had the funds to move there and miracles of miracles I found a job (N works from home), we could never afford a house and we would always just be scraping by. I moved here for the kids. I want to be able to afford to buy *I*swimming lessons, gymnastics, soccer, whatever. N2's obviously going to play football (have you SEEN this child), he's already learned how to "take a knee" at 15 months. I wouldn't be able to do this stuff in CA, and plus Grandma, Pa-pa, Nanny and Opa are here. Having the kids see their grandparent's all the time is something I never got. I want them to.
The question is (man I'm wordy tonight)….how to I come to terms with this. To paraphrase Shifu from Kung Fu Panda (freakin funny—watch it) "I need to be at peace". We're in Texas…for the long haul unless something radical happens. How do I deal? How do I make it my home?
But when I die, cremate me and take me back to the ocean.
Because bucket list sounds so much better???
1) Go back to Europe, see the countries I didn't get to see as a teenager
2) Go skydiving
3) Go see a Coldplay concert with Cathy (cuz that would just farkin ROCK)
Is there supposed to be a certain number of items? Well it's all I have so far
But Matt Taibbi is definitely up there at the top.
NOT ME! (can you imagine) but *I*. Grandma and Pa-pa are going to church every Sunday now that they found a "charismatic" church they like and being four *I* finds it mysterious and exciting. Where DO they go for hours on Sunday and WHOA they get to dress UP? I wanna go!!!
So she got it into her head this week to go and while the parental units are ok with her going to church (it's not like we can stop it—we're in farkin TEXAS), it's still pretty weird.
I haven't been IN a church in 11 years and that was for my wedding. (church only because it was kick-ass GORGEOUS, still didn't have any religious undertones in the ceremony) and the last time I went to church and like heard a sermon? Ummmmm, ahhhh, 1993? maybe 1994. So I feel out of touch as to what actually goes on there.
The main thing I'm freaked out about right now? It's Lent and whooo boy do the evangelicals like to talk about the Passion. I'm not sure I want my four year old baby girl listening to a full on description of the crucifixion.
At least it'll be easy to de-brief her.
"What did you learn about in church?"
"A guy named Jesus was killed but came back 3 days later and then went to heaven"
"Do you really think that's possible? Can someone come back when they're dead?"
So stay tuned to see what her answer will be.
/more than likely she'll remember nothing
//gotta love the attention span of a 4 year old.
So on top of Isis being sick (ran a 103 fever off and on for 3 days), I early shopped a resale last night and worked said resale for 4 hours today. GOOD FSM. I have a new respect for the organization of these things and have a new hatred for people who over-tape their tags. (I got to remove tags from items for 2.5 hours).
I got Nadan a huge Tonka dump truck. He squealed when he saw it and the proceed to STAND in it.
/it's a good thing I have health insurance on this kid
Here's the problem….do I just write random shit? My life is so farkin dull right now I can't imagine anything I say is going to be interesting.
Hells, I guess I should just write it for me. My short term memory is shot (thanks pot and LSD) so maybe I can keep track of the cute things my kids do that I swear I'll remember forever then forget.
Like Isis saying "we practiced saving a guy in swimming class mommy"
"oh really, what was wrong with him?"
"he was draining"

The lovely people of the Broward Folk Club are again putting on their annual South Florida Folk Festival, which, as in years what is levitra past, has attracted artists from all over the country (seriously, check them out) to compete in the Singer-Songwriter Competition. And we're proud to be one of the twelve finalists! There were over a hundred contestants and, by all accounts, some really great songs, so we're honored to be in the pack. If you can make it to the show come see us don our proverbial Eminem hoodies for a good ole fashioned battle of the bands! We expect it to be on an epic scale sort of reminiscent of the siege on Helm's Deep . . . but with poetry . . . and light acoustic accompaniment.
There can be only one! (Actually, there can be three, because three artists share first place, but whatever, there can be only three!) If you can't make our performance, you should still stop by the festival sometime to see the other contestants and great headliners, have some food, enjoy the chilly weather, check out the park and campsites, etc. It's looking to be a great time!
