Product Description
This is the BEST Prodigy yet. The hottest-selling youth big barrel bat is back again this season with a fresh new look and a new, stronger alloy. The Worth Prodigy Legit GX4 draws it's name from its legit performance and its new GX4 Alloy construction. Worth's GX4 Alloy is its strongest yet, which allows for the thinnest walls and shells for absolute MAXIMUM trampoline effect! If you've ever swung a Prodigy before, you'll notice a stark difference in durability as well. One thing that's stayed the same though is the HUGE 2 3/4 inch barrel. This creates the largest hitting surface in the game, so you can CRUSH anything that comes your way! At the end of the barrel, a Center Load end cap is designed to allow increased barrel flexibility. The taper to the handle is 30% thinner due to Whiplash Technology, resulting in reduced weight and increased bat speed. In addition, the Prodigy Legit GX4 features a balanced weight distribution for maximum control and consistency. This Worth bat is also proudly designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. Worth: 100 Years of Performance Through Technology! The Prodigy Legit GX4 features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Thus, Charles Woodmason, an itinerant Anglican minister born of English gentry stock, described the brutal form of combat he found in the Virginia backcountry shortly before the American Revolution. Although historians are more likely to study people thinking, governing, worshiping, or working, how men fight -- who participates, who observes, which rules are followed, what is at stake, what tactics are allowed - reveals much about past cultures and societies."Gouge and Bite, Pull Hair and Scratch" The Social Significance of Fighting in the Southern Backcountry [more inside]

Duluth, MN (KDAL) - The Superior police officer at the center of an investigation into an allegation of excessive force has been placed on administrative leave. Superior police say the assignment shouldn't be seen as a disciplinary action as no finding of a violation of policy or law has been determined. Natasha Lancour is suing the department saying Officer George Gothner used excessive force in detaining her. A video of the incident shows Officer Gothner slamming Lancour into the hood of a squad car and then punching her in the face. Investigators have sent the video to an outside use of force instructor for an unbiased opinion. They've done the same with a short segment of video taken with a cell phone. The clip was sent in to Superior police via an email and in an anonymous fashion. Anyone who witnessed the incident or may know of people who were there is asked to contact Superior Police.
From the Superior PD Facebook page:
The Superior Police Department is seeking to identify the persons in the pictures located in this album. The photos are from a squad car dash cam as well as from inside the Keyport Lounge between 6:30PM and 7:30PM on Sunday January 5th, 2014. The Department wishes to interview all persons who witnessed the disturbance in the parking lot and document their version of events. The persons depicted in these photos appear to have been relatively close to the incident and likely able to provide pertinent information. We appreciate any help in identifying them.

The Schedule
UCSB Triton Invitational Schedule
Saturday, February 11, 2012 at UCSD Triton Invitational
No. 16 UC Santa Barbara (6-5) vs. No. 17 UC San Diego (3-1), 12 pm
No. 16 UC Santa Barbara vs. TBD, 1:50 pm or 3:10pm
The Weekend Ahead
After having a short break this weekend, No. 16 UCSB heads down to La Jolla, Calif. for UC San Diego's annual Triton Invitational. The Gauchos begin their play at the tournament at 12 pm, at Triton Pool against their host, No. 17 UC San Diego. Depending on the results of the match, they will play No. 6 Arizona State or Cal State Bakersfield at either 1:50 pm or 3:10 pm again at Triton Pool later Saturday afternoon. The rest of the tournament is conducted in bracket style.
The Battle Field
The Triton Invitational will consist of 16 teams this weekend. Of these 16 teams, 11 are ranked in the top-20 in the CWPA Poll. The tournament will host some teams that are familiar to the Gauchos, including No. 20 Cal State Northridge and Sonoma State, who they defeated at the UCSB Winter Invite. UCSB will also be sharing a bracket with No. 9 Indiana and No. 6 Arizona State, which it suffered losses against earlier this season. The Gauchos placed ninth in last year's Triton Invitational.
On the Record
UCSB is heading to the Triton Invitational with an overall record of 6-5. This week, the Gauchos moved up a spot in the Collegiate Water Polo Association Poll and are now ranked No. 16.
Goalie on Fire
Junior goalie Ruth Milne was once again named Big West Women's Water Polo Player of the Week on February 1, 2012. Milne had an incredible home opening weekend posting at least nine saves in all six games. She continues to heighten UCSB's career saves record as she came out of the weekend with a season total of 126 saves. Milne also posted a career-high of 22 saves against CSUN at the UCSB Invite.
Junior Domination
Juniors Bryce Winton, Kacey Creek and Shelby Haroldson are dominating the Gaucho offense this season. Winton has posted the team high of 19 goals, and scored 12 of them during the home opening weekend. She scored goals in all but one game that weekend, and scored five out of the Gauchos' 10 goals in the win over Sonoma, a single game career-high for her. Creek also had a strong weekend by scoring seven goals for UCSB. Creek follows close behind Winton in with 15 goals. Haroldson is dramatically leading the team in assists with a total of 20 this season. She is the only player posting in double digits.
Refreshin' Freshman
Freshman Lauren Martin has been a force to be reckoned with for the Gauchos this season. She posted nine goals the Gauchos' last weekend out and has the third most goals on the team with a total of 11.
What's Coming Up
After this weekend the Gauchos return down south to Irvine, Calif. for the UCI Invitational on February 25-26, 2012.

The bitter end
Scan of my drawing. I made this drawing using a pencil and brown paper. The camera is my fisheye baby 110 gold edition. I wanted my drawing to be weird and to express how I feel when somebody is taking me a picture. I like to take pictures not to model and stuff. So I sort of look away and feel really uncomfortable. Not everything about photography is beautiful, but somehow you just have to deal with it. The strange "human beings" look like that because I think I look that way when someone shoots me.Taken by panefeky. These tags describe this photo: baby, fisheye, pencil, art, and drawing.

February 07, 2013, 8:22 PM — Cloud providers and cloud customers now have a roadmap that defines their security responsibilities in the cloud.
Since 2004, the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) has maintained the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), a proprietary information security standard for the handling of payment card data.
Increasingly, organizations have taken the PCI standard as a guide for implementing security, even if they don't have responsibility for customer payment card data. But the question of whether and how PCI DSS covers cloud deployments has remained up in the air.
Today, the PCI SSC took a big step toward easing the confusion with the release of the PCI DSS Cloud Computing Guidelines Information Supplement, detailing what is required to secure customer payment data and support PCI DSS compliance in the cloud.
The organization says merchants that use or are considering using cloud technologies in their cardholder data environment will benefit from the guidance. PCI SSC says it also provides valuable guidance to third-party service providers that provide cloud services or products and to assessors reviewing cloud environments as part of a PCI DSS assessment.
"One of cloud computing's biggest strengths is its shared-responsibility model," says Chris Brenton, a PCI Cloud Special Interest Group (SIG) contributor and director of security for cloud server security platform provider CloudPassage.
"However, this shared model can magnify the difficulties of architecting a secure computing environment," Brenton says. "One of this supplement's greatest achievements is that it clearly defines the security responsibilities of the cloud provider and the cloud customer. With the PCI DSS as the foundation, this guidance provides an excellent roadmap to crafting a secure posture in both private and public cloud."
The new guidelines build on the work of the 2011 Virtualization SIG, but also draw from other industry standards. PCI SSC says it will help organizations with the following:

Breastfeed your baby for the first 6 to 12 months, if you can.
Breastfeeding is very healthy for you and your baby. Try to breastfeed your baby for at least the first 12 months. In the first 6 months, breast milk is the only food or liquid your baby needs.

Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn't mean it's always easy. You and your baby may need practice. But remember, breastfeeding gets easier with time.

Check out these guides to breastfeeding:

Learning to Breastfeed

Your Guide to Breastfeeding for African American Women [PDF - 2 MB]

Easy Guide to Breastfeeding for American Indian and Alaska Native Families [PDF - 797 KB]

If you have a health condition or are taking any medicines, talk with your doctor or midwife about breastfeeding before your baby is born.

What are the benefits of breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding gives you and your baby time to be close, get to know each other, and bond. Breastfeeding is a healthy choice for both moms and babies.

Benefits for baby
Breast milk:

Has just the right amount of protein, fat, sugar, and water to help your baby grow

Helps protect your baby from infection and illness

Is usually easier for babies to digest than formula

Benefits for mom
Breastfeeding:

Gives you and your baby time to be close, get to know each other, and bond

Can save your family thousands of dollars

Burns calories and may help you lose some of your pregnancy weight

May help lower your risk of diabetes, depression, and some types of breast and ovarian cancers

When is my baby ready to eat other foods?

From birth to age 6 months:

Feed your baby breast milk only (no water, no juice, no non-human milk, and no foods).

Give your baby any vitamins, minerals, or medicine that your doctor recommends.

From ages 6 months to 12 months:

Keep breastfeeding your baby.

Start feeding your baby cereal or other baby food, like mashed fruit.

For age 12 months and up:

Keep feeding your baby new foods that are recommended by your doctor.

Continue to breastfeed until you or your baby decide to stop.

 Take Action! If you are going to be away from your baby, ask your doctor or midwife how you can plan to supply breast milk.
Here are some tips and resources for breastfeeding success.

Talk to your doctor or midwife about breastfeeding.
While you are pregnant, tell your doctor or midwife that you plan to breastfeed.

Many health centers, clinics, and hospitals have lactation (breastfeeding) experts to answer all your questions and help you get started. These experts are usually called lactation counselors, consultants, or specialists.

After you begin breastfeeding, you may still have questions. Talk to your doctor, nurse, or lactation counselor as often as you need to.

What about cost?
Support for breastfeeding is covered under the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010. This help includes counseling and access to breastfeeding supplies for pregnant and nursing women.

Depending on your insurance, you may be able to get help with breastfeeding at no cost to you. Talk to your insurance company to find out what this means for you.

For information about other services covered by the Affordable Care Act, visit HealthCare.gov.

Make a plan for after your baby is born.
You can provide breast milk for your baby even when you are apart. A lactation counselor can help you plan to keep providing breast milk for your baby while you are away.

If you plan to go back to work after pregnancy, talk to your supervisor now about where you can pump and store your breast milk at work. Most employers are required by law to give you time and a place to pump milk for your baby.

Get more information about:

Pumping and storing your breast milk

Your rights at work

Try to nurse your baby right away.
 Tell your doctor, midwife, or nurse that you want to breastfeed within 1 hour of your baby's birth. After the first hour, your baby will be sleepy.

At first, your milk will be yellow. This is called colostrum ("coh-LOSS-trum"), and it's very good for your baby. Your regular milk will come in after a couple of days, and your breasts will feel full.

Nurse your baby whenever he wants to eat.
 Newborn babies need to nurse often (about every 2 hours). Watch your baby for signs of hunger, such as:

Moving his head from side to side (called rooting)

Being more alert

Acting fussy

Put your nipple as far back in the baby's mouth as you can.
Nurse with the nipple and the brown area around the nipple (called the areola) in the baby's mouth. This will make you more comfortable.

Try out these different breastfeeding positions.

Ask for help if breastfeeding is difficult.
Breastfeeding is new for you and your baby, and it may take time and practice. Some women may experience problems with breastfeeding at first, but these problems can usually be solved.

Talk to your doctor, nurse, or lactation counselor if you have pain in your nipples or any other problems. Ask for help so that you and your baby get the most from breastfeeding.

Find out how to deal with common breastfeeding challenges.

Get tips on managing stress with a new baby.

Eat healthy.
If you are breastfeeding, eating healthy will help you and your baby get the nutrients you need. Get tips on eating healthy while breastfeeding.

Give your baby vitamin D.
Babies need vitamin D for healthy bone growth. Even if you take extra vitamin D, your breast milk won't provide enough vitamin D for your baby. Talk to your baby's doctor or nurse about how to make sure your baby gets enough vitamin D.

Newborn screenings are tests that check for diseases or disorders in newborn babies. Most tests are done before your baby leaves the hospital.

Newborn screenings can catch conditions early, when they may be easier to treat. With a simple blood test, doctors can tell whether or not your baby has certain diseases or disorders.

Talk about newborn screening with your doctor or midwife before your baby is born. This can help you make sure your baby grows up healthy.

What tests will my baby need?
Most states require newborn screening. But the number and types of tests are different in each state. Depending on your family health history, you may want to ask for extra tests.

Here are some conditions that can be found early with newborn screening tests.

Thyroid disorder
The thyroid is a gland in the neck that makes hormones. It's important to find and treat thyroid disorder early to prevent problems with growth and development.

PKU (Phenylketonuria)
Babies with PKU can't process certain foods and must be fed special formula. PKU can cause intellectual disability (mental skills that are below average) if it's not treated early.

Sickle cell disease
Sickle cell disease is a serious blood disorder. It can be watched and treated if it's found early.

Hearing loss
Finding out early if your baby has hearing loss can prevent problems with speech and language. If your hospital doesn't test for hearing loss, make sure to have your baby's hearing checked within the first month.

How are the tests done?
Most newborn screening tests use a few drops of blood taken from the heel of your baby's foot. The same sample of blood can be used to test for many different diseases. These tests don't cause any harm or risk to your baby.

A hearing test uses a small microphone or earphone to check how your baby responds to sounds.

Contact your state health department to ask about required newborn screening.

What about cost?

Most lead poisoning comes from paint in homes built before 1978.
Take steps to protect your family from lead poisoning. Lead poisoning is caused by swallowing or breathing in lead. In the United States, most lead poisoning is caused by paint in homes built before 1978.

Who is at risk for lead poisoning?
Children under age 6 and pregnant women are most at risk of lead poisoning.

When children are young, their bodies are still growing and are more sensitive to the harmful effects of lead.

If a pregnant woman has too much lead in her body, it can increase her risk for miscarriage (losing the baby). Lead can also pass from the pregnant mother to her baby.

Lead poisoning often has no signs or symptoms, but it can cause problems with kids' learning, behavior, and development. Some effects of lead poisoning may never go away.

How do kids get lead poisoning?
Paint in homes built before 1978 often has lead in it. When old paint cracks and chips, it creates lead dust. Children get lead poisoning from breathing in the dust or swallowing it from their hands and toys.

Lead can also be found in the soil around your home, drinking water, and products with old paint, like toys, furniture, and jewelry.

If your home was built before 1978, use this Home Danger Zone Finder to see which spots in your home could contain lead.

Keep your family safe from lead.
Take these steps to keep your family safe:

Keep children and pregnant women away from lead paint that is chipping or peeling.

Wash your child's hands and toys often.

If you live in an older home, have your home tested for lead paint.

Ask a doctor to test your child for lead.

To learn more about preventing lead poisoning:

Check out these lead poisoning prevention tips.

Contact the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (1-800-424-5323).

 Take Action! Keep children away from chipping or peeling paint.
You can help protect your family from lead poisoning by taking these simple steps.

Keep children away from lead dust.
If you live in an older home (built before 1978), treat all paint as if it has lead in it. Follow these tips to keep kids from swallowing or breathing in lead:

Keep children away from rooms with chipping or peeling paint.

Cover peeling or chipping paint with duct tape or contact paper.

Use a wet paper towel or mop to clean up dust regularly, especially around windows and on the floor.

Renovate safely.
If you live in an older home and you are doing any home remodeling or repairs, be sure to follow lead-safe work practices. Keep pregnant women and children away from the work area.

Wash your child's hands and toys.
Lead dust from chipping and peeling paint can get on children's hands and toys. Wash hands and toys often, especially before eating and sleeping.

Play this podcast on Happy Handwashing for your child.

Test your home for lead.
If you live in a home built before 1978, have your home inspected (tested) for lead paint by a licensed lead inspector. Ask the inspector about testing your soil and water, too.

For more information, contact your local health department. Ask if they have a program to inspect your home for lead at no cost to you.

What if I rent my home?
Ask your landlord to have your home tested for lead. Your local health department can give you information about your landlord's responsibilities.

Test your child for lead.
There are no signs or symptoms of lead poisoning. A lead test is the only way to know for sure if your child has lead poisoning.

A lead test measures the amount of lead in your child's blood. If you are worried about lead poisoning, ask your child's doctor or nurse to test your child for lead.

If your child has a high lead level, do these 5 things to help lower it [PDF – 190 KB].

What about cost?
Medicaid covers – and requires – lead screening for children ages 12 months and 24 months.

For families with private insurance, lead screening for children at high risk of exposure to lead is covered under the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010.

Radon is a natural radioactive gas that you can't see, smell, or taste. Breathing in too much radon can cause lung cancer, especially if you smoke.

About 1 out of every 15 homes in the United States has a level of radon that needs to be reduced.

Testing your home is the only way to know if your home has a radon problem. If the radon level is high, you can take steps to fix it.

Test your home with a short-term test.

Testing your home for radon is easy and doesn't cost very much. You can test for radon yourself or hire a professional to do it for you. If you rent your home, ask your landlord to get it tested.

There are 2 main types of radon test kits. Short-term tests take between 2 and 90 days. Long-term tests take more than 90 days. Start with a short-term test.

Test for radon in the lowest level of your home that people spend time in. If you use part of your basement for living space, like a playroom, test there. If you only use your basement for storage, test the ground floor.

You can buy test kits at home improvement or hardware stores. To order a test kit over the phone, call the National Radon Hotline at 1-800-SOS-RADON (1-800-767-7236).

If your home has a radon level of 4 or higher, it's time to take action. There is no safe level of radon, so you may still want to fix your home if the radon level is between 2 and 4.

Test your home again if the radon level is 4 or higher.

The radon level in your home can change. A long-term test is the best way to know what the radon level is over time.

If the radon level was very high or if you are in a hurry, use another short-term test.

If the level was close to 4 and you have time, use a long-term test.

If your home has a radon level of 4 or higher, fix your home.

If 2 radon test kits show that the radon level in your home is 4 or higher, make a plan to fix your home. You may also want to take action if the radon level is between 2 and 4.

Be sure to hire a contractor who is qualified to fix radon. It's a good idea to get at least 2 price estimates.

For help finding a contractor or your state radon office, visit http://www.epa.gov/radon/whereyoulive.html.

WHAT IT IS: Treat your nails to the absolute best with a set created exclusively for Gilt members! Designed by Deborah Lippmann, manicurist to the stars.
Turn Back Time Base Coat
When applied to clean nails, micronized diamond core powder immediately diffuses the appearance of imperfections and nails become smoother and more even. It also reflects light, instantly giving nails a beautiful luminosity while minimizing the appearance of any yellowing or staining. It can be used by anyone, at any age, for a bright, healthy-looking sheen. Turn Back Time can be worn alone for a radiant, flawless bare nail, or used as a base to create the perfect canvas for color.
Umbrella Top Coat
This is a waterproof, UV-resistant, and high-shine top coat that carries oxygen to the nail and creates a chip-resistant finish that significantly extends the duration and gloss of your manicure in one simple step.
Addicted to Speed Top Coat
This quick-dry top coat dries nail color in minutes so you can get out the door that much faster. Plus, it is extremely durable and leaves nails with a high shine finish. Cellulose and dimethicone leave nails with a brilliant, high-shine finish. Use over nail color only; formula does not adhere to bare nails. Long-lasting and chip-resistant. For best results, wait two minutes after applying nail color, then brush on a thin layer.
Brand: Deborah Lippmann
Deborah Lippmann began working as a manicurist to pay the bills while she pursued her lifelong dream of becoming a jazz vocalist. When celebrities and magazine editors began clamoring for appointments with her, Lippmann turned her day job into a career. Soon thereafter, Allure magazine listed her as one of the top manicurists in the U.S. In spite of her divergent career path, Lippmann has never lost her love for music. With occasional help from her famous clientele, which includes the likes of Cher and Mariah Carey, Lippmann designs her own shades of long-wearing nail lacquer. Every shade is named after a famous song or custom-created for their famous singers. From the confetti-in-a-bottle "Happy Birthday" to the black-and-red-glitter "Ruby Red Slippers," every Deborah Lippmann nail polish is one-of-a-kind.

Three African-American teaching fellows from the University of Virginia's Curry School are getting ready to give back to Charlottesville and Albemarle County schools.
The Fellowship Program gives the students financial support, mentoring, and professional guidance as they learn to become teachers.
Even after they walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, the program helps them transition into their first teaching jobs in Charlottesville and Albemarle.
"ATF has shown me the importance of being here and staying here, not just getting the degree from UVA but really staying here to invest in the community that really invested in me while I was a student at UVA," said teaching fellow Tamara Wilkerson.
Wilkerson received her Bachelor of Arts and her Masters of Teaching Sunday. She will teach Spanish at Jack Jouett Middle School.
Wilkerson says she hopes to impact her students as much as the UVA community has impacted her.

Thank Denver for pissing that game away. Should be a great series.
Thank Denver for pissing that game away. Should be a great series.
****, I was on pins and needles.
Take care of the Staples Center at all costs. I expect the Lakers to actually be prepared this time around considering Phil will have alot to look at and actually make adjustments from.
Don't ****ing lay an egg in LA though, we need all the home games.
I am very happy that the Lakers won.
Tired of seeing McMahon's old mug on my TV during Sportscenter. Did he buy the suit at Capone's Suits and Slacks? I'm surprised that he is still alive at 63, considering how many roids he has taken.
Well, well, well look who came to Vince's rescue....Staples Center.
WWE moving Monday show from Denver to Los Angeles
Well, at least after that jump ball people can't bitch about the Lakers getting every call late in the game.

Why are we constantly drawn to distraction when we yearn for wholeheartedness? Why do we continue to look for things outside of ourselves when it is the feeling of separation that troubles us so deeply? In this inspiring dharma discourse, Shugen Sensei encourages us to trust that only by looking within ourselves will we be able to heal our feelings of isolation and division. When the gap is closed, we can experience our inherent completeness.

Pastor takes step of faith, embraces new community
Published on Tue, Nov 26, 2013 by
Brandy Kiger Shreve

Answering a call from God can mean many things. For Aaron Zuch, it meant pulling up his roots and making a 1,600-mile journey with his family to serve the Blaine community.
Even though Zuch, a full-time pastor leading two congregations in Minnesota, had been starting to feel "the seven-year-itch," he wasn't really anticipating a change for his ministry. But when he received an unexpected phone call from the then-in-transition Grace Lutheran Church, he thought it was worth consideration.
"I didn't have my resume out there, but a buddy of mine had just taken a position in Oak Harbor and recommended me. It felt
like it was time for a change, for myself and my family," he said. "So the question was, 'Does God want me to stay in Minnesota or go west?'"
The answer was to hit the road.
On September 15, Zuch was installed as the pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Blaine, and he's set about helping the church develop its vision – including exactly what role Stewart the Sheep will play in the service.
The wooly-headed puppet is a remnant of a former interim pastor, and Zuch has embraced its place in the ministry, interacting with Stewart and other furry creatures on Sunday mornings to help the children in his church understand the message and just who Jesus is.
"Usually the children's message will reflect what we're teaching, and the puppets will have it all wrong," Zuch said. "So I'll correct them and help them understand where they missed the point. It's my job to show the puppets God's view on what we're teaching this week. The kids love it."
Now two months into the job, Zuch has been loath to make any changes that differ drastically from what his predecessors had set in place. "We have a good foundation laid here," he said. "I'm not a tornado and I didn't come in to change everything. Our mission is still to connect Christ's teaching in the Bible to where people are at in their neighborhoods, families and work. The core values and mission were already established, now we're just working out where we want to go as a community."
Though he said it was a hard decision to leave his two parishes in Minnesota behind, and despite his previous congregants' well-intentioned attempts to scare him away from the prospect with reminders of Washington's never-ending rain, Zuch said he and his wife Kelley ultimately felt like it was the right move for their family.
"We went from serving two communities to being able to focus on just one," he said. "From a pastor's point of view, that's a good thing. We miss the people, but we're excited about getting to know the Blaine community."
Despite some hesitation before the move, his sons, Seth, 9, and Isaiah, 6, have embraced Blaine as well, and have quickly become entrenched in Borderite culture. "Isaiah's favorite color has always been orange, and Seth painted his bike black and orange when we got here," Zuch said.
"Our kids are more a part of the community here, and they jumped right into being junior ball boys at the football games. They're all in now."
Zuch said that he hopes that the move will stick. "We moved halfway across the country," he said. "I hope we'll be here for at least a decade."
Grace Lutheran Church is located at 702 G Street in Blaine and has Sunday School and Bible classes at 9 a.m. and a worship service at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday.

text: Woah. Just, woah. So, basically, what this ad for an x-rated watch is telling me is: what was the point of inventing the iphone. Steve Jobs, RIP, much love, but, come on, how much trouble did you go through to invent something that accomplished the 2 most important objectives of the iphone (namely, porn and music, but also knowing what time it is can be nifty). And this - holy shit, this is a watch. Which means it's already half the size of an iphone, and seeing as it comes with a sturdy fastening mechanism that ensures you will probably never drop your better-than-an-iphone-porn-watch, well, my god, we have a winner. Who is the inventor of this? Why don't I know his name? Is he rich? He sure as hell should be. And it only cost $39.95?? Adjusted for inflation, still cheaper than an iphone. I'm totally freaking out right now, guys, because I've decided that it is now my life's mission to find one of these proto-iphones and hermetically seal it in some sort of display box for future generations to laud and admire. Fuck an iphone. Sex watch for life.

Last weekend, while hiking (okay, lounging in the sun) in the Tule Elk Reserve in Point Reyes National Seashore, I spotted two white-gray birds circling and dipping overhead. Something about the way they were moving and the shapes of their heads made me think of peregrine falcons, but I had never seen a white falcon before. The above picture is the only one I managed to snap.
Identifying a bird when you're bird-challenged like me can be a serious challenge. When I say "bird-challenged", I mean "able to identify half a dozen birds tops, and mostly just the really obvious ones like blue jays".
Luckily, a Google search led me to my new favorite website: www.WhatBird.com. WhatBird features an ingenius bird search engine wizard that helps you narrow down what bird you saw by color, shape, territory, and other basic features. It's user-friendly and seems to be comprehensive.
My mystery ghost falcon? I'm pretty sure it's a Northern Harrier Hawk. Thanks WhatBird.
