Hot Mess Mom » Million MILF March » Million MILF March from YOUR perspective.
Meet my friend Liese. She is you. She is a Hot Mess Mom reader. She lives 600 miles away from me. We became friends.
She sent me this yesterday, unsolicited because she knows I'm stressed about both the event planning and my lack of writing. So she fixed both. Cuz she's a fixer. Like Kerry Washington on Scandal. Except different. I kind of love her.
Million Milf March, A Life Changer
So, my lovely friend, Hot Mess Mom, has been super busy with her cartoon world life. Because of her work trips, product fulfillment, Million Milf March planning, flooded house, house demo and construction, marriage to a sexpot who travels for work, AND three kids in school, her hilarious blog has become well… empty. I'm all about helping a sister out, so I thought you would all like to hear MY take on the Million Milf March, which is happening again soon. It's time to make your plans, and this is why: The Million Milf March changed my life, and it will change yours too.
Two years ago I met Hot Mess Mom. It was a real life meeting, a dinner in New Orleans (Borgne…so fkn yummy), with another HMM reader and a friend. Great night, great food, great drinks, and a friendship was born. I was (am) a stay at home mom with some time on my hands. I was ready to get to work and help this funny lady launch the Million Milf March. I didn't help her. She did it all, like a machine. Because she is amazing.
Fast forward six months to the Million Milf March. I don't even have words to accurately describe the entire weekend. On Thursday I picked up seven of my new best friends from the airport, it was hot. It was 90 degrees at least, probably 100. It was a week after Hurricane Isaac kicked our asses. I was nervous. I got my oil changed, got a new windshield, new brake inspection, gassed up, packed up and headed to the airport.
With my handy homemade sign, I found my passengers, loaded up my SUV and headed out on the fifteen minute drive to our hotel in New Orleans. How cool was it that my air conditioner in the car went out? How perfect. Seven strangers in my car driving downtown without A/C. I was so embarrassed. You know what they did? Rolled the windows down and thanked me. WTF? We laughed the whole way, we joked about it after. We had fun.
I'd love to tell you all about our great hotel but that isn't important or relevant to the weekend. It could have been a Super 8 and the weekend would have been just as amazing.
A small group of early arrivals had dinner with the Hot Mess, including my mom, HMM's best friends from college, her besties from her neighborhood, a handful of HMM readers, KMB and myself. We ate at Borgne again, are you sensing a trend in our dining habits? So damn delicious. We ended this night at some bar downtown Nola, there was copious amounts of whiskey, beer and I think tequila. We ate, we drank, we fell down, and we laughed.
Friday was the official kick off of the Million Milf March. The lovely ladies started arriving. The laughter was everywhere. Online friends became real life friends. We paraded to the Friends In Need auction, we ate, we drank, we danced, and we laughed.
Saturday was the pub crawl and believe me, some of us were very close to actually crawling. More Milfs arrived. We strolled from Earnst Café to the Red Eye (naked bar tenders), on to the Howling Wolf, and ended with a great party with great food, great music, and a photo booth! We ate, we drank, we danced, and we laughed.
I met stay at home moms, working moms, single moms, young moms, older moms, people who have moms, people who know a mom. I met people from Georgia, Michigan, California, Oregon, Florida, Louisiana, and Canada. We were sisters.
My weekend ended in HMM's hotel room. We laughed. We cried. We were amazed.
In the next few days I had so many new Facebook friends I can't even count. Two weeks later I had a major surgery and received care packages from my new Million Milf Marcher friends from all over the country. It was an indescribable feeling.
Since the MMM, I have visited with my new friends on multiple occasions. I have visited their homes and met their families. I have welcomed them to my home and toured them around my home town. I have changed. Did HMM change me? Of course not! Did she spark something in me that prompted a better version of me? Maybe, but I would never tell her that. She likes to think that she made me a grown up, I think she made me a person who now pees outside.
The Second Annual Million Milf March is right around the corner. I strongly encourage you to attend. It's not a weekend to sit and hold hands with HMM (unless you're a VIP), but it's a weekend to forget about the pressure of being a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a responsible adult. This is the weekend you get to let loose and just be the funniest version of you that you can muster.
I will be there, I hope ya'll will be too!

I hope that one day that I can meet some amazing people that I have built relationships with online and from blogging. I haven't attended a conference and hope that I can go to one in the future. Thank you for sharing your story, it is inspiring.
This post makes me even more bummed that I cannot attend!! Damn resposibilities!
Ahhh, the memories! It really was the most fabulous weekend and I couldn't be happier that I went. This is an eerily similar account to my experience. Although I have to miss it this year, I will not miss another one! I haven't laughed that much in 3 days E V E R. EVER. I heart you Liese & HMM.
So proud of my bestie for this post! You are so funny! I'm trying to get there for the MMM. I too have had my first "pee" not in an appropriate location with my bestie in NOLA. It was in a food court, bathrooms were closed so the track can looked appropriate, oh the memories. She always has made me laugh til I cry and I am so lucky to have know her my whole, as long as I can remember life"
That would be trash can. Not enough coffee yet
Great job, Turtle!
Such a fantastic weekend. It was what Disney World is to a toddler… if you allowed the toddler to run rampant through the streets of the "Magic Kingdom" in a milk-induced stupor. Meeting these beautiful MILFS from all over the country was what it is like to a five year old girl who meets Cinderella at a Character breakfast. It was Awe-inspiring. Except in this case, Cinderella had 3 kids, drove a mini-van, smoked Marlboros and drank brown liquor could dance like there's no tomorrow to a fabulous 80′s cover band while molesting a dude in a gorilla suit. It was super fantastic!
I cannot wait to attend this year. We will drink and dance and see old friends, and make new ones and have a great time and laugh and dance and fall down and laugh and laugh and laugh!
Kassie, this year we will have to bring extra Merrrrrrrrrrlot for Linda.
I was pretty sure I was going anyway, but this pretty much seals the deal!
I can't help but think you wouldn't have your windshield changed to pick me up at the airport, would you? Since I'm not pregnant this year… Again, I was gonna come, then you said 100 degrees. Now I'm not too sure.
Great post Liese
Very well written.Friends are few and far between…Well ones you really like..This is a great column written by a great friend who would hold my hair back if I needed her to.Great job!!!!!
So funny and witty!!! I know she loves all her milfs like sisters but I am lucky enough to be her actual sister!!! It truly did change her! I have been trying to get her to pee outside for YEARS!!! Getting my drink on with Liese is my favorite past time so I'm looking forward to doing it at this event. Can't wait!
I wasn't able to attend last year but heard ALL about that fab time! What better reasons then alcohol, great food and great company do you need to join this occasion?!?! Well said Lies!!!
OMG, Carrie!!! You "peed" in a trash can in a food court!!! And, there were so many other choices. Behind cas, steps & stoops, just to mention a few. Loved last year & Liese is not only a great Mom, she's a great daughter. And she makes me laugh so hard & combined with her Little sister they just kill me. Hope everyone comes this year.
Sounds great, I'm sold!!
Not boring.
Liese you did a wonderful job of showing the "un-initiated" what the event is about.
I feel like I just experienced the MMM firsthand thanks to your awesome writing Liese. Thank you for the vivid recreation of what seems like a total blast of a time!! Super bummed we will miss it this year but there is always next year! In the meantime I will attempt to master my outdoor peeing skills!! Have fun ladies!
Omg! Dee!!! I did, noty proudest moment, but one I will remember forever! I had alot of drinks and needed to piddle!
Hey Liese, this is a great post! You have sold me on the Million MILF March! Thanks for making me laugh out loud and also tear up a little, all in one blog. You are the best! xoxo
You guys are all too kind. I'm speechless….
Not really, I always have something to say.
I wish I could edit this with everything I left out. Ya'll will just have to show up to see that there is so much more to this than I wrote about. Its amazing.
Now my dad wants to know where I pee outside…
After several conversations with myself (because yes, most of the day I am the only adult in the room) I have come to the decision that because this year, so far, **fingers crossed** my uterus is currently not occupied with a child, I need some me and turtle time!!
Good job on twisting my arm I think Andrew can handle watching the kids lick the wall for one night…….cant wait :))
I'll be there with bells on this year & strategically placing olives & maraschino cherries on the steps of anyone
who tries to get in my way!

World news in brief, 11/21
Church votes down female bishops
LONDON — The Church of England's governing body blocked a move Tuesday to permit women to serve as bishops in a vote so close it failed to settle the question of female leadership and likely condemned the institution to years more debate on the issue.
The General Synod's daylong debate ended with the rejection of a compromise that was intended to unify the faithful despite differing views on whether women should be allowed in the hierarchy. But backers failed to gain the necessary majority by six votes.
"There is no victory in the coming days," said Rev. Angus MacLeay. "It is a train crash."
The defeat was a setback for Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, who retires at the end of December, and his successor, Bishop Justin Welby. Both had strongly endorsed a proposed compromise that would have respected the decision of those who objected to the ordination of women bishops.
Rev. Rachel Weir, leader of Women and the Church, said the group was "absolutely devastated."
"Obviously this will be an enormous blow to clergy women, it's awful for their morale — but it's a disaster for the Church of England."
Former PM Sanader guilty of bribery
ZAGREB — Former Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison for bribery after a trial that was closely monitored by the country's future partners in the European Union.
Sanader, 59, who served as prime minister from 2004 to 2009, is the highest ranking former government official to be tried for corruption in Croatia, which has pledged to root out corruption ahead of its joining of the EU in July 2013.
Judges found Sanader guilty of accepting a (euro) 10 million ($13 million) bribe from Hungarian oil company MOL in return for securing it controlling rights in Croatia's state oil company INA.
"As a senior official of the Republic of Croatia you hurt its interests and its image internationally," Turdic added. "This verdict sends a message that committing criminal acts does not pay."
McAfee blogging about life on the lam
SAN PEDRO — Software company founder John McAfee says he's hiding in plain sight, wearing a disguise as he watches police and reporters stake out his home — and blogging about it all.
In the latest twist in the highly publicized case, McAfee has started his own blog, in which he describes life on the lam after police in Belize called him a "person of interest" in the slaying of fellow American Gregory Viant Faull and asked him to turn himself in for questioning.
Seldom has there been more detailed coverage of someone on the lam since O.J. Simpson led police on a low-speed chase in 1994, and much of that detail is being provided by McAfee himself.
The Internet-savvy former tech company founder has talked about his case with reporters via email, on cellphone calls and now in his blog "Who is McAfee? The official blog of John McAfee."

Piano Recital by Aristo Sham
HK City Hall
At 17, Aristo Sham Ching-tao's life is all about being balanced. Having scored 14 "A*"s in his GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams in Britain this summer, the prize-winning pianist is studying mathematics, politics, French and English literature for his AS levels at Harrow School. But what about music?
"I decided on this combination because these subjects make use of different parts of my brain," says Sham, who won the Minnesota International e-Piano Junior Competition in 2011. He was also awarded the Schubert Prize and the Variations Prize in the same competition.
"That was why I didn't study music for my GCSE. I wanted to make better use of my time and learn other things."
It's a balanced approach to learning, and there is always time to make music.
"I love it there primarily because of its proximity to Central London," Sham says of his school, which last year organised about 100 concerts. "There are also lots of opportunities for me to perform there - and in London." The teenager says he loves performing in front of an audience. "I always play better when someone is in the room ... I like communicating with an audience."
Born in Hong Kong, Sham started playing the piano when he was three. He joined the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts as a junior piano student in 2002 and studied with Shirley Ip and Professor Eleanor Wong. He has performed extensively internationally and with ensembles such as the Hong Kong Philharmonic, City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong, English Chamber Orchestra and the Minnesota Orchestra. He was awarded the fellowship diploma with distinction in piano performance by the Royal Schools of Music in 2011 and has been a Young Steinway Artist since 2012.
Sham has a balanced programme for his latest recital at City Hall, featuring works by Bach, Schubert and Chopin. "I wanted to include Bach and Schubert right from the beginning - they are what I've been playing lately - but had then to decide between either Liszt or Chopin. I play Liszt a lot so I settled for Chopin because I don't want my playing to come across as stale." The moods of the chosen pieces are diverse, he says. "The Bach [Partita No 1 in B flat] is one of the most uplifting works in the classical repertoire, it feels very carefree and jolly, while the four Impromptus by Schubert are tragic and bitter in tone; but they also provide a good contrast and are very beautiful."
City Hall, 5 Edinburgh Place, Central, January 2, 8pm, HK$110-HK$160 Urbtix. Inquiries: 2268 7321

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

Apple has posted a lot of information about the iPad. Much of it was covered in the introduction, but Apple has filled in some blanks.
Poring over Apple's iPad information reveals some new details about the product. One hardware feature includes a screen lock for rotation. The iPhone and iPod Touch automatically flips based on its accelerometer sensor. The iPad does this also, but it will include a manual lock. The lock is actually the same as the silent switch on the iPhone/iPod Touch. This should be handy for those reading, and even more so being a manual toggle that's easily accessible.
We've also learned that Apple will have a battery replacement program for the iPad. For $99-plus shipping, Apple will service a malfunctioning battery, although the service actually involves issuing a new iPad. Apparently affected customers, once granted a repair, will get a replacement iPad in about a week. The old iPad will presumably be refurbished for resale or service replacements. (Via Engadget)
Even though you'll have to wait few weeks longer, users looking at a 3G model can check out their service options. As reported from the introduction, for U.S. customers AT&T will provide month-to-month 3G service with no contracts. Customers can signup directly on their iPad for a month of service using one of two data plans. A $14.99 250 MB or $29.99 unlimited plan. Users will be able to cancel service and change between plans right on the iPad. Pretty slick.
We also learned a few things about iBooks, the electronic book store that will launch with the iPad. The iBooks app will in fact support the open ePub format. This means users will be able to import their own electronic library of books, provided it uses ePub. Not only does this include many free titles available for download, but will support custom publications, like company employee manuals and such. This is all for titles not for sale on Apple's iTunes iBook store, which we assume will have some kind of DRM, but nothing is really known about that yet.
The iBooks site notes readers can change between portrait and landscape viewing. Users can also change text size, font, and by touching a word readers can do dictionary or Wikipedia lookups. iBooks also supports VoiceOver, so the iPad can read text.
Some other tidbits that may be new or we just don't recall... Apple says all of the iPad's built-in apps have been redesigned for the iPad. A couple highlights that look cool... The new YouTube app run in portrait or landscape modes and highlight HD content. Apple also has more info on the iWork apps. We learned a little about various templates and some more details. Basically Keynote, Pages, and Numbers will be $10 each starting April 3rd.

Property, Plant And Equipment
|12 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2012
|Property, Plant And Equipment
Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:
Depreciation and amortization expense was $8,876, $9,500 and $9,624 for the years ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
The FCC granted to Sprint Nextel Corporation (Nextel) the right to reclaim a portion of the spectrum in the 2 GHz band from broadcasters across the country. In order to claim this spectrum, Nextel was required to replace all of the broadcasters' electronic newsgathering equipment using this spectrum with digital equipment capable of operating in the reformatted portion of the 2 GHz band retained by the broadcasters. This exchange of equipment was completed on a market by market basis. As the equipment was exchanged and placed into service in each of the Company's markets, a gain was recorded to the extent that the fair market value of the equipment received exceeded the book value of the analog equipment exchanged.
During the year ended September 30, 2010, the fair market value of the equipment received and placed into service was $2,591.

Cecil Shorts most likely won't take the field for the Jacksonville Jaguars in their second preseason game against the New York Jets Saturday, but fans shouldn't be too concerned -- he's just day-to-day, and the team says he'd "probably" play in a regular season game.
Shorts has a calf issue which kept him off the field in the team's preseason opener as well as practice Monday and Tuesday. But there are no reports the injury is serious.
The third-year man out of Mount Union who busted out for 979 yards last season, after just 30 as a rookie, is vitally important for Jacksonville. The Jags are still sorting out the quarterback battle -- nobody knows who's starting Saturday -- and both Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne could use help. With Shorts not in the lineup, Justin Blackmon is the top wide receiver, but he's suspended for the first four games of the regular season.
Backups include Ace Sanders, a fourth-round pick this year who will probably be best used as a return man; Mike Brown, who went undrafted last year and has no career catches to his name; Mohamed Massaquoi, who had 17 receptions last year for Cleveland; and Jordan Shipley, who hasn't impressed since being a third-round pick out of Texas in 2010.
Suffice it to say, Shorts is kinda important, and the Jags need to take care with him. No need to worry from a fantasy perspective, either.

Richard Walker celebrates with family
The [Northside] Vikings, who became only the second Lafayette Parish high school team to reach the finals, joining Carencro High which accomplished the feat twice in 1992 and 1996, will face John Curtis at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Superdome.
Supporters of Northside High say they hope the victory marks a turning point in perceptions about their school. "All we wanted to do is prove that not only are we humans that live on the north side, but that we have a very good football team," Allen said. "It's time that people realize that things have changed."
For those of you not in Lafayette, just know this: Northside is the impoverished, African-American-dominated high school. St. Thomas More is the whitebread, rich-kid, ultra-private Republican school that actually sued to allow its kids to park in handicapped parking spaces! This matchup represented, literally, the opposite sides of the tracks; race riots have been known to break out at sporting events between the two schools. The division was further stoked by Advertiser reporter Jan Risher writing that Northside was seen as "a poor black school" while STM was seen as "a rich white school." For a while, it seemed that this controversy was being exacerbated by all sides. It didn't hurt matters that STM has a lot more bling-bling than Northside. But last night, at least for now, vindicated the school that just wouldn't quit. Finally, proof positive that money can't buy everything.
I have several friends from both schools--including Nick the Conservative Cajun, STM's gift to the blogosphere (and Murph too, just for balance!). So you can just about see where I fall on this game result!
Maybe there is a semblance of justice left in this universe after all...

Damn, Nick went to STM. He just lost my respect.
- Murph said...
Don't forget about yours truly, another product of STM. I always thought Northside kicked our asses back in my day, but maybe that new stadium and $150,000 scoreboard changed all that. But to settle an old rumor, jacked up Jeep Wranglers were not given out to all incoming male freshmen.
- oyster said...
Heh, heh-- nice one Murph!
Umm, I know nothing about Lafayette football in particular, but I have lived in places (FL and TX) where high school football is hugely serious business. I cracked a smile at this story, thanks for sharing it.
- Ian McGibboney said...
Murph, I am well aware that many, many people fall through the cracks at STM--almost as if being there made them better instead of worse citizens. You are not the only one I know like that, so don't think I'm slighting you. And yes, the Northside-STM matchup has been pretty evenly mixed. You just have to understand that after reading about these election results, and watching the Saints fall yet again through their apparent apathy, seeing this score really juiced my spirits. I apologize to any decent-minded people who came out of STM, though the principle remains the same--sometimes the scrappy people win.
- Murph said...
Don't worry, Ian. I take no offense at all. In fact, as I read the post, I was rejoicing along with you. You've probably been to more STM football games than I have.
- Nick said...
Nice over-simplification of STM. And while I'm not going to deny that STM is probable mostly Repub, I think you'd be very surprised if you could actually see the voting records of the top "elitists" among the parents and board.
By the way, I went to the Panthers/Saints game w/ my g/f last weekend to go watch Jake. I wish you could have seen and heard all the Saints fans. They're not happy at all. In fact, most of them want to send Haslet and Brooks packing now. Little did they know letting Jake go would come back to bite them in the ass.
- Ian McGibboney said...
Yes, I totally believe that a group of elitists would vote Republican, Nick.
I'm no fan of the Carolina Panthers, but all of these sudden Panther fans from Louisiana can really kiss my ass. I know it's impossible for us to have a winner ever (it's not all Haslett and Brooks, granted), but those people need to be what they really are, Jake fans. The only fans that disgust me more are LSU bandwagon fans in Lafayette. Not the casual ones, the ones who act like they own stock in the school when they go to UL and have never been to a Cajuns game, let alone Baton Rouge.
I blame Tom Benson. He's like J.R. Ewing, but less oily.
- The Manning Report said...
We wont have Tom Benson to blame anymore soon, he's handing the team over to his niece or daughter or something.
- Ian McGibboney said...
If anything comforts me in this life, it's a family dynasty.
- Nick said...
1. Most of the elitist families that I know at STM swing Dem. I'm not saying they're liberal, but most of the "top ones" that I knew went Dem., part of the Blanco/Edwin Edwards wing. However, yes, I think that the majority of STM overall is Repub., I was just referring to the very top. Domingue ran for Clerk of Court as Dem, I think judge Duplantis is Dem. (could be wrong), and the Bowens are Dems.
2. A Jake Delhomme fan is what I am. That's why when I went look for a Jake jersey to wear to the game, I went to Bell's and bought the USL one. Nevertheless, I've been pulling for Carolina since week 1 of last yr. when he went into the game in the 3rd quarter. I think alot of people in Louisiana were just pissed off that the Saints never gave Jake a chance, especially during the last 4 games of 2002 season 2 years ago, where the Saints needed to win only 1 game to make the playoffs, Brooks was hurt and ineffective, but yet they continued to play him even though the offense scored 6 and 13 pts. in 2 of the last 2 games.
3. I hate LSU.
- Nick said...
4. Though I resent much of STM, I'm still proud to say I went there. My coaches and teamates were great. I made some of my closet friends there. However, I would have to say that the "I'm rich so my shit don't stink" attitude was in fact the worst part. I guess that came mostly from the students who don't know the difference. They were born rich, lived rich, got the brand new cars, and are able to use easy parental connections for college and jobs. I guess I didn't mingle in w/ that b/c first, I grew up in a trailer park. So, I wasn't born rich. Second, even when my dad's business took off big during my high school yrs., he wouldn't allow me to act that way. That's why he wouldn't buy me a car right away, and when I did receive one during my Jr. or Sr. yr, it was my mom's old '89 Accord, damn good car, though, drove the hell out of it. I still remember cutting the neighbors' yards for gas money, while watching my dad go buy himself a brand new SUV for himself and telling him to kiss my ass...memories. Oh well, now I just bum them for food.
Colin here. Okay,now that you are throwing football into the mix,I feel I am "mandated" to respond. I was thrilled to see NHS beat STM. As you know,I was involved in some heated games with both schools especially NHS,and let me tell you,the boys from "the Side" play much harder than "S.end T.he M.oneY"! And yes, the Bowens are Dems. for the most part anyway. I sing with one of them and he,like me is a thinking Dem,which I like to think most Dems are.I love the site and will try to post more often. Oh, P.S. I'm kinda disappointed that there is no mention of McKinley St. Function as one of your favorite musical groups.
Colin again,
I almost forgot.. I wanted to say that I am an LSU fan as well as a ULL fan. I have rooted for LSU since I can remember and I attended ULL. I don't see any problem with being an avid fan and supporter of more than one La. football team. And I know why lots of folks hate LSU, what with the massive majority of state monies going their way. Although I hate this phrase,I must say that it applies to this subject...dont hate the player,hate the game. La. politics, Rep or Dem, is the reason for this. But let's look at it in a different way.
LSU has had greater success when it comes to athletics.Massively greater success. It is in a much bigger (but not better) city than Lafayette,and probably has a greater economic impact on it's region. In addition it probably has a much greater expense account than other universities in the state. I'm no economist,but I have to admit that it does make some sense to me. I have no argument for those that dislike LSU for other reasons, so I won't go there. Just my 2 pennies.
- Ian McGibboney said...
Colin, I get upset precisely because people don't seem to understand what you're saying, that support of both schools is possible. Granted, we don't have a whole lot of consistent football winners (unless we make our own, such as in high school); because of this, whenever a team shows any sign of weakness, Louisiana fans go elsewhere. We're a very finicky lot. But, to use UL as an example, how the hell can a team be motivated to win when faced with 20,000 empty seats at every home game? That is demoralizing and just continues the cycle of never winning. The fans then go to LSU--and their dollars as well, all the way to Baton Rouge.

Southern, Califo...
I sewed three tops from one two-pieced pattern., one without and two with a "cutout" or wide keyhole front, which is trending now. This pattern is not only ideal for beginners and/or those who are new to knits, but also a wonderful way to use fabric remnants of previous projects.
For a smoother finish, I used bias strips in the corresponding fabrics to finish the necklines and armscyes.

Super Moon, Super Meteor Showers, Super Citizen Science
By Ian Vorster August 9th, 2014 at 4:08 am | Comment
On Sunday August 10, join Slooh and citizen scientists as they observe the Super Moon.
Don't miss a live interview (Sunday at 7:30 ET) with SciStarter's founder Darlene Cavalier on Slooh, the telescope and astronomy website devoted to stars and the cosmos.
There is a tendency to prefix anything dramatic, unusual or super with…well, the prefix 'super,' which is partly why the Moon is called super twice more this year. Let me explain. When a new Moon coincides with the closest approach the Moon has on its elliptical path to the Earth (because of this the Moon's orbit typically varies between about 222,000 miles and 252,000 miles from the Earth), it actually appears from 7 to 30 percent larger and brighter, especially when it's close to the horizon. That happens on the 10th of August—tomorrow—and again on the 9th of September 2014. Slooh will be broadcasting live coverage of the event.
The term 'super moon' is not used in professional astronomical circles, but rather has its roots in modern astrology—the high tides created at this time are believed by some to cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and it has actually been blamed for sinking the Titanic (although there has not been any evidence to support this), and for the 2011 tsunami in Japan.
What's so super about the Moon this weekend? The perigee (that's what astronomers call it) will coincide with meteor showers. Named Perseid, it is possible to see as many as 100 shooting stars every hour; probably peaking between August 10 and August 13, with the best time to view the shower at about 2 am.
NanoRacks Launches Four Payloads on SpaceX-3
By Rae Moore June 2nd, 2014 at 9:09 pm | Comment
What do Cheerleaders, Flies and Cancer Research Have in Common?
Houston, TX-May 12, 2014 — NanoRacks is excited to have continued broad participation aboard the International Space Station (ISS) through partnerships with citizen and student scientists on the SpaceX-3.
The launch occurred on April 18th from Cape Canaveral, FL. NanoRacks is hosting four payloads on the International Space Station that incorporate work from over eight institutions, both domestic and international. NanoRacks is pleased to have launched two of the seven winners of the Space Florida International Space Station Research Competition on the SpaceX CRS-3 launch.
"The breadth and range of these latest experiments vividly shows how utilization of the International Space Station has accelerated," said NanoRacks CEO Jeff Manber. "We want to thank all our partners with a special shout-out to Space Florida for their ISS Research Competition program"
The on-station payloads included work of students and researchers from UCDavis, Stanford University, Ohio State University, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, NASA Ames, NASA JSC, Texas Southern University, Savannah State, Jarvis Christian College, Tougaloo College, and Prairie View A & M (NASA's ISS Tier2/Tier3 University Research Project), the Science Cheerleaders, and the German space agency, DLR.
NanoRacks ISS facilities and services are made possible via a space act agreement with NASA. Each of the four payloads launched had a unique mission:
MERCCURI: Microbiologists from UCDavis and the Science Cheerleaders, along with thousands of other citizen scientists from SciStarter, are working to compare the growth of microbes from built environments on Earth with their growth on ISS. They will compare types of microbes found on Earth with those found by astronauts aboard the ISS.
UR-1: Researchers and students from Texas Southern University, Savannah State, Jarvis Christian College, Tougaloo College, and Prairie View A & M (NASA's first ISS Tier2/Tier3 University Research Project (thus, UR-1)) are focusing on Pharmacology, Immunology, and Cancer research through the NanoRacks platform, with the goal to investigate countermeasures that could "modulate and augment the immune system" focusing on Pharmacology, Immunology, and Cancer research through the NanoRacks platform, with the goal to investigate countermeasures that could "modulate and augment the immune system."
HeartFlies: Stanford University, Ohio State University, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, and NASA Ames launched HeartFlies. HeartFlies is a medical experiment set to understand the effects of space travel on astronaut cardiovascular systems.
Cancer CellBox: Germany's DLR is carrying out experiments on "scavenger cells" of the human immune system and on human thyroid cancer cells. CellBox will study changes in cellular and molecular function as a result of microgravity. NanoRacks was the first commercial provider that commissioned for transporting and carrying out experiments for the German Space Agency, DLR. Through the CellBox mission, DLR is trying new ways to offer German scientists cost-effective options for carrying out experiments in space.

A Citizen Scientist's Guide (and Pronunciation Guide) to the Camelopardalids Meteor Shower
By Lily Bui - Executive Editor May 22nd, 2014 at 11:22 am | Comment
How to use the American Meteor Society's smartphone app (iOS and Android) to create observer reports of fireballs and meteors during the Camelopardalids this weekend.
Coming soon to a sky near you: a brand new meteor shower!
Barring all cloudy conditions and light-polluted landscapes, you should be able to bear witness to the Camelopardalids this Friday, May 23, 2014 (going into the morning of Saturday, May 24, 2014).
As Earth orbits the sun, sometimes it passes through the stream of debris left by a comet. If the timing is just right, the debris enters the atmosphere and create trails of light in the sky, more colloquially referred to as "shooting stars." Alas, they aren't stars at all but tiny pieces of pebble, rock, and grains as fine as sand.
The comet responsible for this shower is 209P/LINEAR, which was discovered in 2004 by Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research, for which it's nicknamed. It came to closest to our sun (perihelion) on May 6, 2014, but it'll miss Earth by about 8.3 million kilometers (about 5 million miles) at its closest on May 29, 2014. Don't worry — we're not in any danger from it…this time around.
What you can do while you watch the Camelopardalids
The American Meteor Society invites you to report fireball and meteor sightings with their smartphone app and browser-based field logger. The smartphone app allows witnesses to log details about their observations using a mobile device, meaning you can take it with you to your preferred viewing locations — your backyard, a hiking trail, the beach, etc. Sensors in the phone provide a means of triangulating your GPS location, the azimuth and elevation levels, and start/end points of the meteor. Using this data, the AMS can not only accurately determine where meteors occur, but they can also use the data to trace their orbits to their origins.
Simply start your observing session and then each time you see a meteor point to that place in the sky and swipe your finger on the screen in the direction the meteor traveled. Observation data is uploaded to the AMS website, available under your profile there and shared with the scientific community. You can also use the AMS app to look up a meteor shower calendar with star charts and moon conditions for all major and minor showers throughout the year.
[You can also read about contributor Angus Chen's conversation with Mike Hankey from the American Meteor Society on SciStarter's Citizen Science Salon at DiscoverMagazine.com.]
No matter where you're watching it from, this cosmic event should be exciting and accessible to astronomers and amateur citizen scientists alike.
Oh, and in case you're curious about how to pronounce "Camelopardalids," don't worry — Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer, has got you covered:

Verify the Sky with the SatCam App and Citizen Science
By Rae Moore April 30th, 2014 at 10:00 am | Comment
Help researchers determine accuracy of satellite data by capturing and uploading ground observations from your phone.
Want more citizen science? There's an app for that.
We may not realize it, but artificial satellites are responsible for so many aspects of our daily lives. They dictate our ability to communicate with one another, assist in the navigation of aircraft and ships, monitor and deliver top-secret military information for our security and protection, and track atmospheric and weather changes.
The ability to track weather patterns is an important tool in our daily lives—on one hand, we can figure out whether to bring an umbrella, or wear an extra layer of clothing. On the other hand, the government, organizations and individuals can plan (and if necessary, evacuate) for extreme weather conditions, such as storms and tornadoes. Tracking these changes over the long term is also necessary to determine the impact of climate change. For these reasons, data that is used to track weather patterns needs to be accurate.
However, even technologically advanced satellite monitoring systems have issues with resolution. For example, sometimes the satellite cannot discern between cloud covering and snow. To resolve this issue, a team led by Liam Gumley at the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC), in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, developed SatCam (official site), a free iOS app designed to verify images taken by three Earth-observing satellites:
Terra – a NASA satellite that collects data about earth's changing climate;
Aqua - a NASA satellite that collects data about the earth's water cycle;
Suomi-NPP - a NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) satellite that collects long term climate change and short-term weather data.
With SatCam, anyone with an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch can become a citizen scientist and verify satellite images. The app alerts the user when a satellite is approaching. Once the user is outdoors and once the satellite is in range, point the device at the sky and the app will automatically take a picture. SatCam will prompt the user to take a picture of corresponding horizon, classify the cloud conditions (cloudy, overcast or clear) and classify the ground conditions (urban or vegetation). Once the data is submitted and processed, the app's "history tab" displays the user's data and the satellite's image of the same location on one screen. If you have ever wondered what your neighborhood looks like from over 700km (435 miles) away, you can find out with SatCam.
The first SatCam images were recorded in May 2012. Within two years, over 10,000 images have been recorded from locations all over the world. Margaret Mooney, the Education and Public Outreach Director of the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Studies (part of the SSEC), said that the app "has taken a life of its own" due to promotion at conferences and Facebook, and it "raises awareness of satellites and of the local environment, and provides ground-truth" to the data obtained by satellites. Educators can employ SatCam as an educational tool, in conjunction with other science educational programs such as GLOBE.
SatCam's team hopes to expand the app's capabilities in the near future. According to Mooney, SSEC has submitted a proposal for NASA's Air Quality group, which would incorporate the ability to record air quality data within the app.

3, 2, 1…Project MERCCURI Blasts Off to the ISS Today!!
By Lily Bui - Executive Editor April 14th, 2014 at 11:40 am | Comment
What happens when you combine professional cheerleaders, microbiologists, and astronauts? The answer is Project MERCCURI and the Microbial Playoffs… in SPAAACE!
SPACE FLORIDA, FL — Today, something amazing is headed toward the ISS—microbial life from earth!This moment is the culmination of a citizen science experiment called Project MERCCURI (Microbial Ecology Research Combining Citizen and University Researchers on the ISS), a collaboration between NASA, UC Davis, SciStarter, and Science Cheerleaders.
Watch the launch LIVE today at 4:58pm ET / 1:58 PT on NASA TV!!
There were two main goals for the project. The first involves a huge competition that will take place on the ISS between 47 different microbes that have been collected by thousands of public participants from the surfaces of various public spaces (mostly sporting venues). The microbial competitors will face off against each other to see who will grow the fastest, and the race will be monitored by astronauts on the ISS, using standard laboratory equipment. Researchers at UC Davis will host an identical race using the same kind of equipment on Earth.
The second goal involves sending 4,000 cell samples to Argonne National Lab to be sequenced by Jack Gilbert. The lab will identify which microbes are present on the surfaces of cell phones and shoes and compare them to other cell phone and shoe samples from around the country. While astronauts do not carry cell phones or wear shoes, they will be swabbing similar surfaces onboard the ISS, like foot holds that they strap their feet into while they are operating the external robotic arms and their wall-mounted communication devices.
You can get to know all of the microbial competitors, who they are, where they're from, and why they are so cool on the official website. If you want, you can even print your own Microbial Trading Cards. Cell phone and shoe collections will continue through April!
The microbes are sailing into space today aboard Space X's Dragon spacecraft. SciStarter's founder, Darlene Cavalier, is on site today at the launch. She notes, "We're here, in part, as representatives of the thousands of citizen scientists who participated in this important research project to study microbes on Earth and in space!"
Today from 2:45PM – 5PM CST watch coverage of the Launch of the SpaceX/Dragon Cargo Craft to the #ISS! http://t.co/zqCYsN9llm #SPACEMICROBES

@scicheer @ucdavis @SciStarter Very cool! These flights have so much going on it's impossible to list them all. Amazing.
— Phil Plait (@BadAstronomer) April 14, 2014
Thank you to all who made this project possible. It's pure proof that the sky is the limit for what we can do in science, together.
