Updated: Killer whales trapped in ice near Inukjuak have gone
Elizabeth Batt
Jan 9, 2013 in
Elizabeth Batt
- Eight to 17 orcas filmed trapped in ice near Inukjuak, northern Quebec have moved on according to Inukjuak Mayor, Petah Inukpuk.
Video of the orcas who are spyhopping and appear stressed was originally sent to CTV by Lisa Di Ciero. It was captured by Clement Rousseau who then uploaded the video to his
Facebook page
, in the hopes of getting the killer whales some help.
Rousseau said he posted the film, "hoping that the right person will see this video, a person that can help us to bring them back to the open water ..."
The video began a movement amid the activist community to put pressure on Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), to step in and seek a solution. Reminiscent of the 1988 grey whale rescue in Point Barrow, Alaska, that was featured in the film
Big Miracle
, activists used social media and urged Canada to take action.

News of the trapped whales reached CTV Montreal who said "Residents of Inukjuaq are concerned that there is not enough open water for the whales to swim out." How many orcas are trapped remains unknown, but estimates put the number somewhere between eight to 17 mammals.
Yesterday, according to
CBC News
, DFO officials haven't decided yet what to do about the orcas. Johnny P. Williams of Inukjuak told the station he visited the whales, and they seem desperate for air.
"It is difficult to go near the ice since the waves from the whales are making it impossible," he said in Inuktitut. "The breathing hole is getting smaller and smaller. Their whole body jumps up for air."
An airplane was dispatched to determine how far the whales were from open water. Williams reported, "the open ice is too far away for the whales to go on their own and only an icebreaker could help them out."
In 2005, six killer whales trapped by thick ice in Russian waters died exhausted and wounded after an attempt to break free. Strong winds blew in ice floes which trapped the whales in shallow waters in the Sea of Okhotsk. It is unclear how the current pod of whales became trapped.
Erin Cunliffe said that she had called emergency fisheries of Canada and they had the information on the orcas. "All he could tell me," Cunliffe said, "was that they are doing something about it."
Activists also urged people to call DFO's emergency number to request they intercede on behalf of the orcas.
Further video of the whales' predicament was uploaded to YouTube by
Nathalie Letendre of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, told Digital Journal a short while ago that DFO is "aware of the situation and confirms that a pod of killer whales is trapped in ice near Inukjuak."
Letendre added, "a team of experts from DFO is working very closely with its partners in Nunavik to evaluate the situation. Situations where marine mammals are trapped by the ice are not unusual in the North."
Digital Journal asked DFO if this situation is not unusual in the North, would you say then that DFO does not think the situation critical at this point?
By unusual, I mean that it is not the first time that marine mammals are stuck in the ice. DFO considers it important to be on site to evaluate the situation correctly. That's why our experts are presently travelling in the direction of Inukjuak.
DFO never reached the whales before they disappeared. Rumors that an icebreaker had been dispatched also proved untrue. This was confirmed by the US Coast Guard.
A Big Miracle was needed
Activists, not ready to give up on the whales collaborated with
Kasco Marine, Inc.
, a Minnesota company that helped keep two grey whales alive in Alaska with their de-icers back in the 80s. As seen in the movie
Big Miracle
), Kasko offered 20 de-icer units for the whales and planned to fly them in.
"We can keep the ice open until an icebreaker can free them," Kenneth Rust of Kasco said.
Inukjuak is a northern village located on Hudson Bay at the mouth of the Innuksuak River in Nunavik. It is in the Nord-du-Québec region of northern Quebec, Canada.
These grey whales were helped by Kasko Marine Inc. They are now trying to help the orcas.
Mayor Petah Inukpuk declared the whales had left the area earlier Thursday morning (Jan. 10), but now news is filtering in that the whales may not have made it out of Hudson Bay. Further details are

Olbermann: FOX 'has become the enemy of American democracy'
Michael Krebs
May 30, 2011 in
Michael Krebs
In a video-taped monologue posted on Current.com, ahead of his Current TV debut on June 20, Keith Olbermann cited Ed Rendell, James Murdoch and Bill O'Reilly as contenders for the 'worst person of the day' and said FOX is an enemy of democracy in America.
Keith Olbermann
is a man steeped in liberal-leaning opinion.
These opinions and perspectives have, at times, alienated him from his employer, as was the case in the divide between Mr. Olbermann and the executives at MSNBC.
"MSNBC executives have long planned for the day the network's star might be sent packing, and the rise of Rachel Maddow at MSNBC–along with the grooming of Lawrence O'Donnell as a potential replacement for Olbermann–appears to have hastened the host's departure,"
Mark Joyella reported in January for Mediaite
. "While Olbermann and his iconic Countdown have been immensely important in the resurgence of MSNBC, Olbermann's friction with management has been a sticking point. At many points–including the recent suspension over political contributions–tensions rose so high as to lead to serious discussions inside MSNBC about firing their star."

However, Mr. Olbermann has a new boss in former Vice President Al Gore.
"Incidentally, do you have any idea how nice it is to say 'my boss, Al Gore,'" Olbermann crooned in his "worst person of the day" monologue for the Current TV online-only audience. Olbermann's new Current TV show is scheduled to debut on June 20, and his transmissions to date have been relegated specifically to the Internet platform.
But during his monologue, Mr. Olbermann had specific commentary reserved for FOX News commentary host Bill O'Reilly, who won the "worst person of the day" distinction, and for the Murdoch family, who oversee the News Corporation empire, saying specifically that "Fox has become the enemy of American democracy."
"Murdoch decided to impress daddy by kicking our network, Current, off of his cable system, Sky Italia, long after his employees there had worked out a deal to keep the network on," Olbermann explained. "You have to understand that in Italy, where an aging, debauched, corrupt media magnet, an Italian Rupert Murdoch, is the prime minister. Current is the primary independent television news network for an entire country."
Mr. Olbermann seemed to be taking this news personally.
"It appears, and I'll take my boss, Al Gore's word for this, that this was a preemptive strike by Murdoch and Fox against us and against me," Olbermann concluded. "Because we all know how well it worked out the last time for FOX when daddy pirate fired me ten years ago this month for reporting the truth about his negotiations to sell his baseball team, even though I had cleared that reporting with all of Rupert's right hand men. Right, Jimmy Murdoch, that's how to impress dad. Repeat his dumbest mistake and remind his greatest American foe to keep reminding everybody of the threats that the Murdochs and FOX are to freedom of speech in Italy, in the United Kingdom, in Australia, in this country, and how FOX has become the enemy of American democracy."

MacAndrews was visiting his Irish cousin, O'Bannon. While there he decided to do a bit of fishing. As he sat there on afternoon, his cousin walked by. "What are ye doing?" asked O'Bannon. "Fishin'," said MacAndrews. "Caught anything?" "Ach, nae a bite," "What are ye usin' fer bait?" "Worms" "Let me see it," said O'Bannon. MacAndrews lifted the line from the water and handed it to his cousin. O'Bannon took out his flask of potcheen and dipped the worm in it. He handed it back to MacAndrews, who cast his line once more. As soon as the worm hit the water, his rod bent over double, the line screaming out. "Have ye got a bite?" asked O'Bannon. "No!" shouted MacAndrews, fighting with the rod, "The worm's got a salmon by the throat!"
An aircraft is about to crash. There are five passengers on board, but unfortunately only 4 parachutes. The first passenger says, "I'm Shaquille O'Neill, the best NBA basketball player. The Lakers need me, it would be unfair to them if I died." So he takes the first parachute and jumps. The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, says, "I am the wife of the former President of the United States. I am also the most dedicated woman in the world, a Senator in New York and America's potential future President". She takes one of the parachutes and jumps. The third passenger, George W. Bush, says, "I am the President of the United States of America. I have a huge responsibility in world politics. And apart from that, I am the most intelligent President in the history of the country and I have a responsibility to my people not to die." So he takes a parachute and jumps. The fourth passenger, th e Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a ten year old schoolboy, "I am already old. I have already lived my life, as a good person and a priest I will give you the last parachute". The boy replies "No problem your Pope-ness, there is also a parachute for you. America's most intelligent President has taken my schoolbag."

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Spotted this exclusive interview with Love & Hip Hop Atlanta's Mimi Faust over at The Jasmine Brand. She clears confusion on a lot of things, including how long she's been dating Stevie J, how long she's known about Joseline and more.
On if they were together when Stevie was with Eve:
"Absolutely not. When he was dealing with Alex we were not together. When he was in any other relationship, we were not together."
On how long she's known Joseline existed:
"The first time I knew she existed was about two weeks before we started the show. It was all brand new to me, this was the first time I found out about her, her name, and all of that… I was living through it as we were taping."
On if rumors that Joseline was born a man are true:
"She's not a man, she's absolutely a woman. She was pregnant… She's a woman."
On if she's concerned that her 2-year-old daughter will think it's acceptable to be treated by a man, how her father treated her on the show:
"I'm absolutely concerned about it, I've said it over and over again. You guys can see it in episodes coming up that's definitely a concern of mine. The message that I will be sending to her, especially because she's a little girl and she will grow up to be a woman, and I don't want to send the wrong message to her or I don't want her to think that what he's doing is right and that's the way a man should treat a woman. I'm absolutely concerned about this whole thing."
She said absolutely 5 times, when I watch the show tonight, I'm going to see how many times she says it....That's all I got **shrugs**
My dad was an awesome father, but a f***** up husband. My mom never left my dad after all the bs he put her through. I think this shaped the way that I deal with men and why I stay in relationships entirely too long. I hope she finds the strength to leave him if she wants the best for herself and her daughter.
LOL @ Sheli. She is a nice looking girl, and that's all I got.
So basically, she's been a door mat for the last 15 years and has nothing to show for it outside of her daughter and being publicly humiliated and embarassed on television by her 'baby daddy'.
pretty much Tracy

While the younger set prefers to share their lives via social networks. That's according to a survey recently released by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project entitled Social Media and Young Adults, which continues the PIAP's obsession with tracking the digital habits of the so-called Millennial generation, defined in the study as young adults between the ages of 18 and 29.The survey found that blogging has dropped by nine percent among Millennials in the last two years from 24 percent in December 2007 to 15 percent by 2009. During that same period, however, blogging won over more online adults aged thirty and over with a four point rise from 7 to 11 percent.Gimme That Ol' Time Blogging It's not just the Millennials that are kicking blogging to the curb either; the teenage blogging population has been cut in half from 28 percent in 2006 to 14 percent in 2006. Instead of blogging, kids these days are signing up in droves for social networking sites (SNS) like Facebook and MySpace.The PIAP survey says 73 percent of Internet-loving teens are now using social networking Websites (SNS), which is a significant uptick from previous studies. In 2006, 55 percent were using SNS and by February 2008 that number had grown to 65 percent.Facebook vs. MySpace While Millennials and older adults may differ on the importance of blogging in their digital lives, both groups favor Facebook as their SNS of choice. Seventy-one percent of young adults use Facebook, as do 75 percent of those thirty and over. Sixty-six percent of younger teens, on the other hand, prefer News Corp's MySpace. The PIAP survey also found that younger people aged 12-17 are less likely to use Twitter than Millennials and adults.Wi-Fi and the Mobile WebThe older you are the less likely you are to be using Wi-Fi or your cell phone to get online. The Pew survey found that just 34 percent of those aged 50 and over use a wireless Internet connection, 63 percent of 30-49 year olds go wireless and the Millennials are all about over-the-air online access with 81 percent of them favoring wireless Internet access. Milennials are also the only age group the Pew survey found where the majority favor mobile computers: 66 percent of young adults own a laptop or netbook, while 53 percent have a desktop PC.Interestingly, the PIAP study found that African American adults are the most active and fast-growing segment of the population using the mobile Web. But the younger generations are more likely to own a cell phone, with 73 percent of younger teens owning a cell phone and mobile device ownership among Millennials hits 93 percent. And yet, the fastest rising age group for cell phone ownership may be twelve-year-old children. The Pew survey found that 58 percent of 12-year olds now have a cell phone, compared to just 18 percent in 2004.Other findings from the survey show that wired teens are more likely to buy things online like books, clothing and music than teens were in 2000. Thirty-one percent of today's teens are also turning to the Internet for health, diet and fitness information, and 17 percent of the high school set are getting information about drug use and sexual health information from the Web.Has Facebook taken over your blogging time?

Silent NightThe walls of the house absorbed the woman's screams, until they felt as muffled and pointless as yelling underwater. Still, her lungs kept pushing out cries for help. Her attacker carried over his shoulder. The stench of his sweat filled her nostrils, red from sniffling and crying immensely. He paid no heed to the constant writhing, or the fists slamming and pounding on his back, or even her fingernails, which dug furrows into his flesh. He simply lumbered, as steady as a freight train, through the corridors of the big house.She knew where they were heading, but not where they would end up. In this house, nothing was normal, nothing as it had seemed when she had moved here. So while she knew in advance the turns her attacker would take, which hallways and doors he would traverse, their destination was unknowable as a faraway galaxy. And that meant her taking would be untraceable. She would be unreachable to searchers. To would-be rescuers. To her family-and the realization of that ter

[E/c] eyes stared longingly at the flurry of white and grey, this was your first time being in Russia, especially as a work related destination. You were recently hired by a very old and influential family in Russian affairs as a full-time maid and right now you were on your way to meet the head of the house. 'Well, this will certainly be a change…' you thought dryly, none too sure if this was the best choice, but what could you do? Leaving from [different country] was the only way to truly change for the better, right?Before you could ponder on the thought you snapped upright in your seat when the sudden cries of a baby beside you started to fuss about as the plane went into the landing zone. You watched from the corner
Jeff x Reader - Long Time No See 2Darting through the woods you huffed when you tripped, and nearly fell face first into a pile of mud. Why were you running? Police. Why were the police after you? You may have recently stabbed a guy, and now were running in hopes of not being locked away. A lot had changed since you were little. Your parents had passed away when you were thirteen., you got sent to a foster home at age fifteen after your grandmother passes away, and the story of your outbreak of insanity begun from there.The home you had been sent to after your grandmother passed away was a cruel one. The only reason you never complained about it was because you feared being placed in an even worse home. Not many foster families like to take care of teenagers. Even fewer wanted to adopt them. Though after one to many beatings, and your evil foster father stabbing to death and frying a kitten you had been caring for right in front of you, you left. It was understandable right? W
Marionette-Yandere Russia x Lonely Reader 2Chapter 2: Russia's LullabyRecap----He had such a forlorn look etched in his glassy amethyst eyes while the rest of his facial features read that of emotionless beneath the frame of his dusty beige tresses. The paleness of his cheeks were only alit by the light brush of a pink flush that seemed to come from deep within the porcelain of his cold flesh. As you continued to examine the solitary marionette that sat before you, you unbeknownst to you lifted up a trembling hand completely mesmerized by the pure depths of loneliness and sadness that rose from his amethyst orbs, and gently placed it on the side of his cheek. Tears clearly threatening to fall as you could feel the cry from deep within this puppet's heart, the words slip from your lips before you even have a chance to catch them,"……….Who are you…?"End Recap---It had been days since you last went into that timeless room, but not once had the image of that flawless marionett

Following his lead you took your seat in the car and buckled up as he closed the door and quickly scurried over to the driver's side. After readjusting the mirrors he glanced back at you for a split-second before starting the car and pulling out of the lot to who knows where exactly your new life was.End Recap---Arriving in front of the mansion you couldn't help but gape at the giant extent that fell before you in a gigantic mass of artistic prowess. The dark stone like bricks fell well with the hint of hickory wood and mountains of snow that blanketed the manor. Quickly, Toris stepped out from the driver's seat and went to open the door for you, waiting patiently as you found
Little Bird Chapter Eight (Yandere!ArminxReader)"N-n-no," he gasped, watching the blood start to pour from my still form. "That's too much blood, too much." He stumbled around clumsily, trying to figure out what to too. "Stop the bleeding, yes, stop the bleeding."He grabbed all the sheets from the bed and returned to me. He ripped them into smaller pieces before pressing them to my wound. He applied pressure, just like he had read about so many times, but the blood didn't slow its escape. His hands shook as he pressed them harder to me."It's not working," he whispered. "It's not bloody working!! Damn you bitch!!" he screamed. "Why did you have to do that? Why?!" he was hysterical now, and he leaned down to rest his head against my stomach. "Please, please don't leave me," he managed to say between sobs.He held his face in his hands, trying to concentrate. Growling angrily, he stood and stomped over to the wall. He sma
Little Bird Chapter Nine (Yandere!ArminxReader)(Armin's POV)"Good morning love!" I yawned as I woke up next to you. I'd been sleeping with you for the past few nights, not wanting to be away for too long. You still hadn't woken up, and it worried me. I placed a gentle kiss on your perfect forehead.It had only been a few days, but I longed to have those (E/C) eyes look at me once more. I missed your voice, your smile. You were so beautiful when you smiled, even when it wasn't a real one. Even when I forced you too.I had tried being close to you, touching you and having my way with you, but it just wasn't the same. It was no fun when I couldn't hear you begging for mercy, screaming my name out as I brought you closer and closer to your release. How I ached to feel you squirm beneath me again.I sighed, sitting up in the bed. I looked over at your sleeping form, the way your chest rose and fell ever so slightly with each breath you took. You nightgown clung to your sweaty skin, making
Little Bird Chapter Ten (Yandere!ArminxReader)The flames flickered in my eyes, burning away the tears I had cried. My face remained emotionless as I watched as the fire spread. The heat made my skin sting, but I welcomed the sensation. It felt as if it were melting my frozen heart. I rose back to my knees and crawled over to the sleeping horse. I gently stroked its mane, alerting it to my presence before clumsily crawling on. I patted its neck, signaling for it to stand. It obeyed, and I clung to the reins, feeling as if I might slip off. The horse began galloping back towards the Survey Corps headquarters, which I could see in the distance. I tried my best not to look back, but I had to. The entire shed was engulfed in flames, and I was positive that there was no way Armin could survive. I didn't know how to feel about that; I had known and cared for him for so long, but part of me felt relieved as I watched the flames eating away at everything it touched. Maybe one day I would regret what I'd done, but at that moment it fe

"…We?"The masked boy nodded, faced the group of trees behind him and waved his arm in a motioning way towards the two of you. Out came another boy the same age as him, but he was in an orange hoody and had a black mask with red eyes and a drawn-on frown. But you could barely see this, though, the moonlight being your own source of light."I-I'm Masky, and this is Hoody." Masky said. He spoke quietly and shy; it was difficult to hear what he said every time he spoke. "We wish to assist you and Laughing Jack."You swallowed hard.

Blood Stained Chapter 1 Blood Stained Sebastian walked through the sunlit halls of the Phantomhive Manor heading to wake his Master. He pushed a sparkling silver cart that had delicious items placed on it, along with a letter from the queen. While he walked, he examined the envelope. It looked like any other one the queen had sent. Snow white with a thick red stamp pushed on the middle to seal what's inside. Except, there was a small, crimson dot in the corner of the envelope. Sebastian's steps got slower and he stopped. He stared at the tiny speck of red and pulled out a handkerchief from his front pocket. He dabbed the small speck and placed the handkerchief back in his pocket. But it was still there. "Oh well," He sighed. Then he kept walking. Sebastian twisted the shimmering golden doorknob to Ciel's bedroom and entered. He stepped towards the dark blue patterned curtains and pulled them back releasing sunlight into his dark room

Collinsia heterophylla
Chinese Houses
Native to California. This is a rather uncommon plant in nature; blooms from spring to early summer, with 1-in.-long blossoms that resemble snapdragons (Antirrhinum). Flowers are held in tiers at top of 1- to 2-ft.-tall, somewhat hairy stems. The upper lip of the flower is white, the lower one rose or violet. Plant produces oblong leaves to 2 in. long. Gives light, dainty effect in front of borders, scattered under deciduous trees, or as bulb cover. Sow seed in place in fall or early spring in rich, moist soil. Can also be sown in late spring for early fall bloom. Self sows under favorable conditions.

Shopping for down UQs
So i currently have synthetic quilts from AHE, looking to lighten the load and shrink pack size with a switch to down. I camp in a variety of conditions, so i'm probably gonna end up getting multiple quilts eventually, plus i'm a warm sleeper so i don't want to carry more insulation than i need. I'm 5'7", so looking for shortened quilts mostly, but i'm starting my research and feel like i don't know what i'm looking for. It's not like i can go into a store and try them out, nobody else i know uses hammocks for camping.
Basically, where do i start? What makes a "good" UQ good? What should i look for when deciding? |

If you want to try before you buy go to a hang. But to help start you off, I have never heard a bad word about the quality of any of our vendors quilts so you don't have to worry about buying a bad quilt. You just need to figure out what qualities you want. Sewn though quilts are good for summer but when the temps drop you don't want sewn through. Different vendors offer different lengths and widths. If weight is an issue for you then that's something to look for. Different vendors also use different suspensions.
Your best bet is contact a couple vendors and talk to them about what might work for you based on what you want, as far as coverage, warmth and weight. If you find something that strikes your fancy then come here and ask specific questions about it and the people that own them can help you out. And don't forget that some of them will completely customize you a quilt. Material, size features, everything. So the real question is what do you want? Do you want full coverage head to toe or are you ok with using a foot pad for your feet and legs? Are you broad to where you need your quilt to be wider to cover your shoulders? Do you toss and turn? If so you may want a TQ quilt with less taper. Do you want to be able to pull your TQ over your head or does it just need to cover your shoulders? Figure out what you need your quilts to do and then it'll be easier to find the one that does it. Or you could do it the easy way that doesn't involve much thinking and just buy something, try it, and if it doesn't work for you sell it and buy something different.

How Adrià became the inspiration for creatives
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 15 November 2012 08:00AM
The answer to what an inventive organisation means no longer comes from CTOs. Amelia Torode meets el Bulli's head chef.
- These are my recommendations for any creative organisation looking to be world leading:
Don't chase short-term cash without long-term vision.
Make the time to reflect and think.
The journey is not done when you're number one - that's when it's time to change.
Make sure your physical space is flexible enough to change with you.
Do everything to avoid falling into routines.
Bring in 'agitators' from ourside to push your creativity and thinking.
Being creative doesn't give you licence to be an arse, you still have to take out the trash.
Work out how your organisation can function at its most efficient.
Don't sign away creative freedom for the sake of money.
But remember, at the end of the day, it has to be about making money!
I was once asked: "If you could get anyone to deliver a keynote at Cannes, who would you ask?" The person I have always longed to hear speak is Ferran Adrià, the man I consider to be at the forefront of art, technology and transformation.
I have been fascinated by how Adrià changed elBulli from a decent local restaurant into arguably the most lauded and inventive organisation in the world. Move over, Zuckerberg and Dorsey, the inspiration for a new generation of creative pioneers is a chef, not a chief technology officer. So when an invitation arrived from Wayra, Telefónica's tech start-up accelerator, inviting me to meet him, I cancelled all other plans. This is what he said:
"ElBulli was only ever open six months a year, but that's hardly surprising when you think that we were located on the Costa Brava – tourists simply didn't come here in the winter. For the first 14 years,
elBulli did not make money, but we believed in something and that was what mattered.
"When success came, it was important to make time to reflect and think. So we decided to close at lunchtime. We lost £1 million a year, but it was necessary. When we won our third Michelin star, we got rid of the menu. By 2010, we had two million requests a year for reservations; we had 48 seats. This was the point that we knew we had to change.
"I said that we were going to close and take a three-year sabbatical. No-one believed that we just needed some time out to focus on creativity. No-one understood when we announced a new restaurant and laboratory. They all thought we were crazy. But that is exactly what we are launching in Cap de Creus.
No-one understood when we announced a new restaurant and laboratory. They all thought we were crazy" Ferran Adrià
"The space will be utterly flexible. Like a film set, you're meant to move things and change it. We don't want anyone to fall into routine; we'll do little things like change the pencils that we use every year. Never be too comfortable, always think new. We will have three distinct spaces – one for reflection, one for brainstorming and one for work-sharing, and we will invite 'agitators' from other disciplines to give us their point of view. This is about creating dialogue.
"We want to create the most ef-ficient environment possible. Just because you are creative, it's not like you have any divine right – you still have to be efficient. We all take out the trash, we all clean the kitchen and we are all creative. We are also efficient. I want to think about how best people work – are you more efficient if you work five days and then have two days off, or are you better working ten days and then having four? Are you better in mornings or evenings? In a group or solo? We need to think about how we work.
"We are also building Bullipedia as an online resource where you can learn with precision, accumulate knowledge and get inspired. Think of it like a curated search engine; I think of it like a neat and tidy cupboard with lots of drawers.
"Telefónica is my technology partner, but the site will not be sponsored by brands, as we want creative freedom and I want to make the decisions. People will pay for it, but we are working out the payment model. It's not fair that a young chef pays the same as a large corporation. It has to be economically viable – that's what the internet revolution is about. We have to make money. The solution is not about giving everything away."

Apple gets a patent for health-monitoring ear buds
The system could also control mobile devices through gestures
Computerworld - Apple today was awarded a patent for a monitoring system that could be placed in ear buds or other devices to record things such as body temperature, heart rate and perspiration levels.
The patent, first reported by Apple Insider, shows a wearable system designed to monitor user activity, such as during exercise or sporting activities.
Because the ear buds are in contact with the skin and ear cavities, they can also sense body characteristics and collect that as biometric data.
The monitoring system would not necessarily be permanently attached to ear buds, though it could be. Because the technology could be detachable, it could used on other devices, such as headphones and headsets.
"In still another embodiment, the monitoring system can be provided within a housing attached to a cord utilized by the headphones, earbuds or headsets," the patent summary says. "In yet another embodiment, the monitoring system can be attached to a user's clothing. In these various embodiments, the headphones, earbuds or headsets can be wired or wireless."
The patent states that the activity and health monitoring system can also be used to control an electronic device, such as a smartphone, using one or more head gestures.
The monitoring device would have sensors, such as an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or some other motion sensor that could be used to detect the pitch, roll and/or yaw of a person's head. Using those sensors, a user could input commands to an attached electronic device.
So, by tilting your head to the right, left, backward or forward, or even rotating it to the left or right "an entire head gesture language may be developed," according to the patent.
For example, head gestures could be used to scroll, browse or select a function.
"For example, a rotate head or tilt head to right can cause a next item/page action to the right. Subsequently, holding one's head in the tilted position can cause the speed of the action to increase until head returns to normal position," the patent states. "The head gestures can have various meanings depending on application. For example, the same head gesture can initiate a different action in different applications."
The gestures could be used for binary or analog commands. A binary command could simply change the mobile device from one state to another. An analogue command would change a device function.
"...In one example, a head bobbing can be used in a manner similar to Morse code in order to provide text input commands," the patent states. "Further, 'noise' filtering can be provided so as to reduce erroneous detection of gestures during regular head movements."

So over the past few weeks I have been exploring many diffent options with my hair to satisfy my latest surge to change my appearance because I've looked the same far to long. So I got to searching on my two internet staples; Youtube and Google. On my search I found some pictures of men and women with dreadlocks and on a whim I decided to start searching that. What I found was men and women with all sorts of backgrounds and lifestyles. Then I was thinking why wouldn't I do this to my hair? Yeah there stereotypes that coinside with having dreadlocks. For example if you have dreadlocks you smoke a ton of pot, your some hippie love child, or you just don't take care of your hair. But with most stereotypes these are not entirely true. For one your hair doesn't dictate on how you live your life. Just because you might want dread does not mean that your going to go all organic it's just hair and contrary to most beliefs you don't have to shave you head once you have dreads and want to get rid of them. Yes you are basically knotting your hair up on purpose but to get mature dreads it takes time and you have to take care of them (unless you have freeform dreads but different story). In the end if you want to have dreads then go for it! It's just hair and you can use it to express yourself in anyway you so choose.

@irievibes, "It's also a matter of personal opinion." No shit, and I was just giving mine.
I think after growing it out I may try some "natural" hair dyes. But I am deff not using anything toxic anymore.
@generaltitsvonchodehoffen, Why do you say that? It's just a hair style, nothing more. It is not wearable only by a certain race. I don't understand your logic.
@aliwine, well I think you'll look great no matter what. Whatever makes YOU feel good is what you deserve. I'm just a weird guy that can't get over hair talking ;)
@irievibes, Aesthetically it almost never works out. Kind of like really dark black guys who get black tattoos.
Seriously though, I wanted dreads. Dreaded half my hair, they started solidifying after a month or so and I started having second thoughts about whether I really wanted to give up the versatility of my straight hair. I like having it curly sometimes and what not. I ended up combing them out. Kinda miss them sometimes but all in all, I'm way too impulsive for that kind of commitment.
@generaltitsvonchodehoffen, According to who? I know multiple white people with awesome looking dreads. My friend who washes and maintains his daily look pretty damn sick. Dreads can look good on anyone.
It's also a matter of personal opinion. I like the look of dreads on any skin color.
@tangledupinplaid21, did the same exact thing with my hair.
I still want them all the time, but I change my mind & my view on things way to often to make that commitment.
I'm currently waiting for my hair to get a little longer so I can knot it up into some dreads. I don't care about the stereo types at all. In fact, that's kind of why I want them. If people don't like me just because of my hair, they aren't my type of person anyway. They act to filter out the close-minded pricks.
Oh yeah, I eat a lot of organic food, lift a lot of weights, smoke cannabis and play reggae music, but I won't hate others because they aren't like me.
I've been wanting them for a long time. I was growing my hair out for a while trying to grow them, but then I decided against it. I still very much want them though.
I've had dreads for about a year and a half now.
Yes, if you want perfect dreads that are uniform and the same thickness and not a bit fuzzy, you do have to do a lot of maintenance. I dont' do a lot of maintenance… I just comb one out a bit and re-do it if it gets really matted. Otherwise I've only waxed them 1.5 times, ever, and I use elastics on the ones that I don't want to fray at the ends. (Kindof a mixture between freeform and perfecto dreads, which I think look silly btw.
Anyway, moral of the story: Do what the fuck you want, and if people tell you you shouldn't, do what the fuck you want.
@irievibes, Awesome, and yes. I find my dreads are like a magnet for open-minded people. It's like a cheat in a good video game.
heard about a guy who died when he cut his dreads because there was a black widow living in his hair and it bit him…
@racastillo, if I were a guy I'd DEFINITELY get them… cause if you suddenly decide you hate them it's much easier to reverse than if you have hair down to your lower back like me.
Rule #1 of HE: Never take Tits' opinion seriously.
I'm serious about getting dreads in the near future too, but did recently get a bit of a trim. Will be a while yet, but fuck it, I want em. My reasoning is that dreads seem to act as a sort of mirror. When you se someone with them, it's such a hairstyle that you pretty much WILL make a snap judgement about them. What you think in that first moment has nothing to do with the other person, but something within you, and you're opinion of people with that hair. Since the majority of folks with dreads that I've met I've thought were awesome, or embody a certain persona that I really get on with, I think I should get them too.
@tangledupinplaid21, AMEN! where was that pic during the "chicks should shave their body hair thread"? I've always been a sucker for the backless smock and armpit-hair look. I dig my wife when she's got some dirt and sweatstink on her from working outside too, she likes me the same way. we're two little piggies, I guess. the only grooming issue that turns me off is bad teeth.
OK back to your regularly scheduled topic.
I gotta agree with tits. I've never seen it work out. Personal opinion though, do whatever the fuck you want
I have really thought about it, but currently I am growing my hair out to donate for making a wig. =3
Nature is amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz3YzF_yLbE
I mean, I just hear they can get really nasty depending on the way your hair and scalp are (my scalp produces a fair amount of oil so that would really stop my dreads from forming correctly anyway). I also understand that when you stop wanting them, the hair is unsalvageable and you just have to go straight to shaved, which might suck for some.
I have seen it on people and I think my head would go crazy itching and stuff, but I think it is a cool thing to do.
@aliwine, I just cut mine for a job, which requires a more clean, male cut. I had it approaching my shoulders. I don't get attached to my hair length, but I really don't want to have to pay for something as stupid has hair cuts every other week. I wanted to grow it out and donate as well, but now I'll have to wait another year.
Its just funny. No reason not to get dreads, unless your going to be pretentious.

When the huge new building was finished, nobody in the Chicago area thought it looked like a church. On the outside it looked like a convention hall, on the inside like a 5,000-seat theater. And what went on inside didn't seem much like church either. The first thing visitors noticed was the music, which was lively, contemporary, and professional.
On any given Sunday the audience was as likely to see a play as hear a sermon. And then there was the preacher—dressed in ordinary clothes, he was breezy and compelling; by turns funny and serious; and always utterly irresistible. Critics sniffed that this was entertainment, not worship. Truth be told, it was entertaining. The thousands of casually dressed people who jammed the parking lot and streamed into the building looked less like churchgoers and more like Cubs fans headed for Wrigley Field.
And what happened on Sunday was only the sauerkraut on the kielbasa. The rest of the week dozens of paid staff and even more volunteers organized media productions, prayer services, men's and women's groups, boys' and girls' clubs, summer camps, and food programs for the needy.
They operated a 100-seat restaurant inside the church building, supported dozens of missionary agencies, and ran an extensive small-group ministry that spread throughout the Chicago area.
The idea behind all this was to create a new kind of nondenominational church that would use an interesting program and comfortable surroundings to draw in the unchurched. Once drawn in, they would be enveloped in a comprehensive network of activities designed to give them a supportive community and deeper instruction in the Christian faith. This approach was so successful in Chicago that it immediately spawned a host of imitators ...

So if you haven't heard, the original owners bought the place back a few months ago. After avoiding what had become merely a tourist place with average to sub-par beers, I've made a few visits since the changeover. Put it back on your list of places to go. Now that the smoking ban is in effect, the old smoking bar is a game room (always was, but if you didn't smoke you wouldn't have wanted to play in there.)
Fist off the beer, the XXXX Stout has balls again and the Kilt Lifter does too. They've added a Dubbel and a Triple to the usual line-up. Neither are world class, but it's a sign that things are changing. Even the IPA seemed hoppier and maybe a little bigger than I remembred from the previous owners. I can't wait to see if the Old Bawdy Barleywine comes back to the former standard.
Food is still hit or miss. The Reuben is still a good bet and the mussels are good. Both are a little pricey (the mussels come in an appetizer version though.) Burgers are just O.K. and it is policy that you can't have it any way but well done. Personally, I think if I want to risk E Coli or Mad Cow then that's my business. Cheap apetizers and discounted pints at happy hour make for plenty of pub grub options with a few after work pints.
Service at the bar has always been pretty good and still is. The dining area I've had a long wait between seating and seeing our server.
I hope the positive changes keep coming. I had pretty much stopped going here completely, even taking tourists to the market and then walking to a multi-tap rather than drinking here. But I like having this place back.

When Dark Money Goes Local
How the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity is attacking a cap-and-trade program in New Hampshire.
This post was co-published with TIME.
When a question about the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) came up in a New Hampshire gubernatorial debate in September, the candidates' answers hardly mattered. Even before a word had been spoken, the big winner was Americans for Prosperity (AFP), the Koch-brothers-backed group that has made the fight against the controversial regional cap-and-trade initiative into a crusade.
The group's New Hampshire arm has funded two years' worth of robocalls, mailers and radio ads to try to persuade Granite State voters to end the state's participation in the program, which AFP views as a tax on energy. Though less eye-catching than the tens of millions of dollars AFP has poured into the presidential race, the group's effort in New Hampshire shows how a little bit of dark money can go a long way in state-level fights. Nonprofits funded by anonymous donations have swooped in to finance ballot measures and state races around the country in 2012. The Iowa-based American Future Fund gave $4 million to support a California proposition that would limit labor unions' political fundraising. The American Federation for Children, a Washington, D.C., pro-school-voucher group, paid for mailers and ran ads supporting friendly state-legislature candidates in Florida and Wisconsin.
It's unknown how much AFP is spending in New Hampshire, as such expenditures do not have to be reported under the state's campaign-finance laws. But if AFP will not say how much it has spent trying to kill RGGI, it is not shy about taking credit for putting the program front and center at polling places this week.
"This is an issue being discussed in the gubernatorial debate," Corey Lewandowski, AFP's New Hampshire state director, says. "Our education campaign has made a major impact."
New Hampshire and eight other states participate in RGGI, a regional agreement under which limits are placed on carbon emissions at power plants and emission allowances are auctioned to utilities. States have used the proceeds from those sales to pay for energy-efficiency programs since 2008. But the program is opposed by conservative groups that believe the threat of climate change is overstated. This summer, the state legislature in Concord passed an AFP-supported bill requiring New Hampshire to withdraw from RGGI if two other New England states pull out. Last year, following another AFP campaign, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie withdrew from RGGI.
AFP has helped make RGGI's future a significant issue in the New Hampshire governor's race. Republican Ovide Lamontagne, crowned "conservative of the year" by AFP in 2011, promises repeal. At the September debate, Democrat Maggie Hassan, who helped pass RGGI as a state senator, said, "I was proud to be a sponsor of that tax — uh — the energy-efficiency program."
AFP pounced. A radio ad from the group repeatedly plays the audio of Hassan calling the program "that tax."
Days before the election, the race is a dead heat.

Anonymous asked: Have you ever found it frustrating having to do something you don't want to (as in, doesn't tickle your fancy) but it helps pay the bills?
So, let me tell you a quick story:
My grandpa on my dad's side came over from China when he was pretty young— grew up in Chicago. He was in high school when World War 2 broke out; he joined up, and was put in the 407th Air Service Squadron. It was part of the famed Flying Tigers fighter group, and one of the first all Chinese-American units in the military. He fixed planes. He also shot at them when they strafed the airfield. With a pistol.
He was there when the Japanese officially signed the surrender, and was honorably discharged soon after. The very first thing that he bought with his stashed up pay was a sterling silver bracelet with his serial number on it.
I keep it within sight of my desk at all times.
After the war, he went back to Chicago, but his father was already housing too many Chinese immigrant workers (up to this point, most Chinese immigrants were single men because of strict immigration laws and quotas), so he had to move to Detroit to live with an uncle and finish high school.
One of his high school teachers noted his artistic abilities, and recommended that he use his GI Bill to go to art school. Of course, his dad wouldn't have it. So, he worked in laundromats, owned his own grocery, and later worked as an insurance salesman instead.
70 years later, I'm the graduate of an art school, and I'm taking a break from drawing to write this out.
I guess my point is this: the time that you use to pursue art has to come from somewhere. At some point, a sacrifice was made by you, or others, to allow you to have that time. Illustrators try to make a living in that intersection of art and commerce in an effort to lessen that sacrifice. There are some that are doing quite well at that. There are many, many more that are not.
Even those artists who we view as extremely successful have to sacrifice time. It just comes from other places: relationships, health, or family, etc. The real struggle then, is to find that balance on how you are spending your time.
If you know that a life spent making art is your ultimate goal, then doing things you don't like aren't really frustrations. They are necessities that must be done to give yourself time.
I think this is why I cringe every time I hear someone say that self-righteous creed of the "creative class": "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." That statement discounts all the hard work and sacrifices that you or others have made to be in that situation—what on Earth would entitle us to only work jobs that we love?
I don't do this because I love it. I do it because I must.
It's in my bones.
I am a nurse. For 30 years of my career, I was a labor and delivery nurse. I took care of women through all stages of labor and through their delivery. Due to the many times that I have worked 16 hour shifts, I bonded with many women and helped them through long hours. Finally, through much work on the mom's part with my guidance, she would be ready to deliver. In would sail the doctor, spend five minutes catching the baby, and then pose for all the pictures. I would hear from the families how wonderful he/she was.
Then why is my back killing me because I stood for two to three hours with a woman in a variety of positions including resting her foot on my shoulder while she pushed? Oh, and did I mention that she is also paralyzed from the waist down from the epidural, so I was also helping to hold her up while she squatted to push?
Why have I had to change my scrub clothes twice in a shift because someone either puked on me or amniotic fluid soaked everything?
Who is it that actually got that IV started while reassuring the poor mom?
Who is it that took the camera out of the daddy's trembling hand and started taking family pictures because she knew that otherwise there would be no proof that he had even been in the room? And capturing the look of wonder on both parent's faces at the same time.
Who is it that cleaned up every body fluid that can spew from a human, with a smile on her face and encouraging words for the mortified patient who has never been sick in front of a stranger in her life?
Who is it that tracked down the anesthesia people, chased them out of the lounge, and threatened them with their lives if they didn't take care of her patient, NOW?
And when things didn't go well, who was it that took that poor baby that didn't make it, cleaned it up, dressed it, wrapped it in a soft blanket, and brought it to the broken-hearted parents to hold for the first and last time?
Oh, yeah, Dr. Marvelous is just great.
I'm just a nurse.
"- Kathy Hurst Davis, Nurse, quoted in this Slate article. (via thedaysofforever)
Nurses are so underappreciated, like, seriously guys. All of my best memories from hospitals as a child were because of nurses.
(via didifallasleepforalittlewhile)
..I'll never forget the first baby I caught as a student nurse because the doctor was out buying a magazine or something because the mom was "only 50 cents' worth of dilated" and couldn't possibly be ready to deliver for another three or four hours. Oh yeah.
Most doctors are wonderful. No question. But 90% of the people who take care of you in the hospital are the nurses.

True words
Marriage equality will, in time, fundamentally destroy "traditional marriage," and I, for one, will dance on its grave.
It's not a terribly difficult conclusion to draw.
As same-sex couples marry, they will be forced to re-imagine many tenets of your "traditional marriage." In doing so, they will face a series of complicated questions:
Should one of us change our last name? And if so, who?
Should we have kids? Do we want to have kids? How do we want to have kids? Whose last name do our kids take?
How about housework, work-work, childcare? How do we assign these roles equitably? How do we cultivate a partnership that honors each of our professional and personal ambitions?
As questions continually arise, heterosexual couples will take notice — and be forced to address how much "traditional marriage" is built on gender roles and perpetuates a nauseating inequality that has no place in 2014.
