Physically I think that all of the women in the house are equally pretty. I think that none are prettier than any of the others. Inside they're pretty much all hags!
ETA. I would like there to be at least one season where there is an average looking woman. That haven't had that in a looooong time! But they have had average looking guys. Spencer is good looking but average. Judd is soooo not good looking AT ALL. I really don't get all the Judd love btw and I dont think he's that smart, just annoying. McRae's cute but also average. It's really sexist and unfair. I'd like to see some women over 40 that don't look like models (Sheila was a former model and Renny was a beautiful woman) but even so it was nice to have some women over 40 for a change. I'd also like to see a woman who doesn't look good in a bikini but maybe a one piece instead. Like Spencer isn't fat but he isn't skinny either. I don't think a fat woman like me (I'm 80 lbs overweight) would do well with some of the comps but a woman who maybe needs to lose 30 would be fine. I want to root for a real person not a model or wannabe actor.

We designed this new brochure for one of the UK's largest print media groups.
The brief: to showcase their work in an eye-catching way and better reflect their reputation as a creator of superb visually led experiences.
Planning a new product launch or in-store promotion and want to see how it would work before it happens?
One of our clients was faced with this challenge and asked for our help visualising new point of sale concepts in a retail environment. Our 3D plan enabled them to explore different concepts and ways of improving the overall shopper experience.
Halloween came early at Shark Design this year.
We had lots of fun designing spooky point of sale for one of our retail clients. From haunted castle archways, to display units containing Skeletons with flashing eyes and ghost-like aisle fins we really got in to the spirit of October 31st (albeit in August!).
National retailer Hobbycraft has a great selection of fun products for getting kids kitted out for 'Back to School.' Shark Design & Marketing were chosen to design eye-catching in-store point of sale including headers, shelf strips, posters and window kits to help drive sales across this range.
We were recently asked to design an exhibition stand and corporate literature for a client exhibiting at the Marketing Week Live event at Olympia in London.
Shark Design were appointed by national retailer 'Wilkinson' to design an inspirational trend guide!
Effective POINT OF SALE material is fundamental to promoting sales and can often be the difference between influencing a purchasing decision or not. At Shark we design stand-out retail graphics that grab shopper attention, increase awareness and guide customers in-store.
With a little bit of thought, design flair and production wizardry even the smallest exhibition spaces can be transformed!
Brilliant – the Interiors, Living and Lighting specialist asked Shark to design and print their new marketing literature.
Mars Chocolate (UK) invited Shark Design & Marketing to demonstrate our graphic design and print manufacturing capabilities for a range of its' point-of-sale material – an integral part of their sales promotion activity.
SolarLex – designers, suppliers and installers of solar panels recently appointed Shark to design, print and build their exhibition stand and marketing literature for the Harrogate Home Building Show.
It doesn't matter to us if we're asked to design literature for print or for use digitally – we just love to design.
We recently created a new corporate identity for a national renewable energy business. Take a look!

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
While North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis is perceived to have the best name recognition among GOP senate candidates, Greg Brannon and Mark Harris are also putting their messages out via many media outlets. Knocking off Senator Kay Hagan is the republican goal in this frenzy of big time ad buys. Political science professor Eric Heberlig from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte expects donors and dollars from out of state political action committees. "The candidates aren't going spend the most money in this race, "he said. "They're going to be vastly outspent by outside interest groups pouring money to affect voters in North Carolina." Media outlets could be on the way to a hefty pay day.
Nancy Haynes runs a local ad agency. She has handled political campaigns, and remains concerned about a lack of fiscal transparency. "One thing I would like to see is more disclosure on that money. I'd like to know who the people are not just the name of the organization spending it," she said. The ballot Mecklenburg County Elections supervisor Michael Dickerson has put together has 13 candidates in three parties competing in the senate primary.
"There's an anti-Tillis ad and an anti-Hagan ad that I've already seen," Dickerson said. "Whoever runs the senate could rely on us or one or two other states."
However, Heberlig says at the end of the day it boils down to a simple strategy. "It's gonna a matter of the grassroots turnout of who gets their people to the polls." Observers estimate that spending the North Carolina senate race could top more than 20 million dollars.
Early voting for the North Carolina May Primary begins this week.
The One-Stop Early Voting period begins on Thursday, April 24, and runs through Saturday, May 3 at 1 p.m.
The primary election will be held on Tuesday, May 6.

Hearing metal clanging against metal is always an ominous sound, and your mind runs through costly scenarios to explain it: a loose driveshaft, gummed-up gears, or even a hook-handed axe murderer rapping against your rear door. Nine times out of ten, though, the noise is nothing more than your Hi-Lift Jack banging against itself. Muffling that annoyance is a cinch with a Daystar Jack Handle Isolator.
Whether you're maneuvering through your morning commute or inching your way over the Rubicon Trail, a Daystar Jack Handle Isolator stops your Hi-Lift Jack from rattling around. Simple to install, it slides over the jack's main bar and handle, keeping the two pieces from flopping against each other.
Built to weather any abuse, your Daystar Jack Handle Isolator is constructed from premium polyurethane. You can choose between a range of colors to match or accent your Hi-Lift Jack, and each Isolator is backed by a limited Lifetime Warranty.

How's the evil threat of Iraq sitting with you now?
There are two easy answers. Neither of them is correct. The first answer is advanced by proponents of liberalism. They say that the 2012 election was an ideological election, the seminal, long-awaited decision of the American public to fully embrace their inner socialists. This argument posits that Mitt Romney was an extreme conservative, Barack Obama was an extreme liberal, and the American people cast their lot with the liberal.
That argument is incorrect. As...

Selected Proposals for NSPIRES's The Science of Terra and Aqua
The Terra Team extends congratulations to the selected proposals for the Science of Terra and Aqua. Fifty-six proposals were selected out of a total of 212 proposals submitted. Full list including abstracts
This solicitation followed from a 2009 NASA Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) Program Element. The Science of Terra and Aqua and provided an opportunity for scientists to undertake significant studies responsive to NASA's and the Science Mission Directorate's science objectives and the NASA Earth Science Research objectives through the use of data and derived products from two EOS satellites, Terra and Aqua, and their measurement sensors. It represented a continuation of the research aspects of the EOS Instrument Teams for these satellites, emphasized new opportunities for scientists to analyze and exploit EOS data, as well as develop new products by combining multisensor and multiplatform data or by developing an innovative approach to data retrievals. This solicitation offered investigators an opportunity to conduct integrative research projects using the data and products resulting from these satellites and to become involved in the utilization of EOS data to provide answers to NASA's Earth Science Research questions.
Three types of research were solicited including: Science Data Analysis, Algorithms–New Data Products, Real- or Near-Real-Time Data Algorithms. The Terra Project Science Office welcomes those scientists new to Terra and welcomes back those who have made the Terra mission the great success that it is.

Fresh Lava Arrives at Ubinas Volcano
Despite a recent decline in earthquakes, Ubinas Volcano erupted another ash plume on April 28, 2014. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) collected this false-color view of the area on the same day. Red in the image indicates vegetation. Read more

China's Great Wall of Dust
A wall of dust was barreling across northern China on April 23, 2014, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) acquired these images from NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites. The top image was taken at 12:35 p.m. local time, and the lower image is from 2:20 p.m. Turn on the image comparison tool to see how far the dust advanced in the two hours between images. Read more

Ship Wave Clouds Behind the Crozet Islands
Air flows like water in the atmosphere with invisible currents and waves. On April 9, 2014, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this view that evokes fluid-like movement in the atmosphere. Ship wave clouds fan out behind the Crozet Islands over the southern Indian Ocean looking exactly like the ripples behind a rock in a stream or the waves behind a boat moving through calm water.

Painting with Islands and Sunglint
The satellites in NASA's Earth Observing System collect data and imagery for scientific research. The data goes to one of twelve Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) across the United States, where it is processed and distributed to scientists who mine it for clues about our environment.
But sometimes the imagery is remarkable simply for its beauty. When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite looked down on the Lesser Antilles on August 1, 2013, the combination of sunlight, islands, and wind painted this scene on the surface of the Caribbean Sea. The right side of the image has a milky hue because of sunglint, an optical effect caused by the mirror-like reflection of sunlight off the water surface directly back at the satellite sensor.

Drifting with Ice Island B31
In early November 2013, a large iceberg separated from the front of Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier. It thus began a journey across Pine Island Bay, a basin of the Amundsen Sea. The ice island, named B31, will likely be swept up soon in the swift currents of the Southern Ocean, though it will be hard to track visually for the next six months as Antarctica heads into winter darkness.
Over the course of five months in Antarctic spring and summer, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)—an instrument on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites—captured a series of images of ice island B31. Read more
Mapping Minerals with Light – ASTER
A satellite image is more than a photo. It is a picture of the amount and type of energy reflected or emitted by the Earth and recorded by a satellite instrument. There are many ways to combine those measurements to create an image, and each combination provides different insights.
The spectacular exposed geology of northwestern China offers an ideal landscape for illustrating how satellite measurements can identify minerals from afar. In satellite imagery, this area has three different sedimentary rock layers that are visible as rainbow stripes on a series of ridges. The Piqiang Fault has split the ridgeline, so the colored layers are offset by about three kilometers (two miles). All of the images on this page were made from data acquired on February 24, 2005, by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA's Terra satellite. Read more
Wildfire Burns Valparaiso, Chile
High winds propelled a wildfire through parts of Valparaiso, Chile, on April 13, 2014. It quickly became the largest fire in the history of this port city. The fire started in a forested area on April 12 and eventually reached wooden homes built on steep hills around the city. According to news reports, at least 12 people died, 2,000 homes were destroyed, and about 10,000 people evacuated as the fire moved through a section of the historic city.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite acquired this image of the fire at 11:10 am local time (14:10 UTC) on April 13. Fire detections are outlined in red in the forest south of the city, which is pale gray. A long plume of smoke stretches northwest over the Pacific Ocean, a clear indication that winds were strong and blowing the flames toward the city. Read more

I love/appreciate beautiful artworks and photography. Deep thinking, music, quiet time, taking nature photography, writing (have written a book), singing, animals, the wonders of untouched nature. I reside in New England and was born in 1966.
I have arts and photography on other sites such as DeviantART and RedBubble, but would primarily just be here to enjoy the wonderful art. My works may not be up to Shadowness standards but I can learn technique and be inspired here.

Help with 2 images auto refreshing
Basically I have 2 cameras taking pictures every minute and uploading them to a website every minute. I want just the images only to auto refresh every minute. I have this code in there and it works for one image but how do i add a second. The second picture is right beside the first one on same page. The second image is camera2 and also has width 49%. I left that out for someone to help fill in what it should look like.
Thank you!
<img src="webcam/camera1.jpg" width="49%" name="refresh">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var t = 60 // interval in seconds
image = "webcam/camera1.jpg" //name of the image
function Start() {
tmp = new Date();
tmp = "?"+tmp.getTime()
document.images["refresh"].src = image+tmp
setTimeout("Start()", t*1000)
// -->

I'm asking what to ask...
December 16, 2011
If you were talking to a 101-year-old person, what would you want to know?
My great grandma
is one of the coolest people I know. She is still in really good shape (living on her own in the house my grandpa grew up in) and remains sharp as a tack. Since she isn't getting any younger, though, I've decided to finally follow through with my plans to do some oral history with her.
The stories I've heard of hers have been really interesting -- she had a brother doing some sort of legal thing for the military during WWII, saw Eleanor Roosevelt at the White House Easter Egg roll, and said brother later ended up being an artist and living in Mexico with his black (male) partner. I'm interested as much in the more exciting things (Eleanor Roosevelt) as in the more mundane things (she learned how to bake bread during the Great Depression, because the Red Cross was giving out flour and she had to figure out what to do with it).
So... if you were talking to my great-grandma (or any other Really Old Person), what would you want to know? I'm definitely going to make things more open-ended and let her talk about where her mind goes instead of interrogating her, but I'd like to have a significant list of potential topics. (Also, on an related note, although I am a historian, my knowledge of 20th-century American history isn't as good as it maybe should be. Any good recommendations for a few general histories of the period would be appreciated. Scholarly or popular is fine; more interested in social and cultural history than political/military/diplomatic.)

I'd like to know what she did on a daily basis as a girl/young woman - what kind of chores, what she did for fun, what things were important to her, if she was allowed to go out unchaperoned, what was her favorite kind of music, did she like to dance (and what kind of dancing!), how she did her hair, what kind of dresses she wore, what kind of advice her parents gave her...
what an incredible thing to be able to spend time with your great grandma.

She is just a couple of years younger than my Grandma.
Some of the more interesting things she talked about:
-Being the first generation of American women who could vote and what that meant to her.
-Actually seeing the beginning of the transition from horse to auto and the crazy technological advances since then. This will be even more extreme if she grew up rurally.
-Did her family travel by car in the 20s and 30s? Auto routes and the logistics of getting a Model T even 300 miles were crazy.
-When was the first time she put on pants and wore them in
(as opposed to around the house or for sport or work)? Mine said that it was Summer of 1942 and she felt like she was walking around in her underwear it was so uncomfortable.
I really like
Modern Times
for an approachable 20th century history.

She would have been an adolescent or a teenager during the most active period of the expatriate lost generation, Algonquin Round Table, all that. Was she aware of those trends in literature? If so, did she read them and was she influenced by them? Were they as popular or groundbreaking to her then as we consider them to be now?
Was she moved by Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, as a "mid-lifer"? What concerts or shows does she remember; which were her favorites?
How common was everyday swearing, and how did the norms shift, if they have?
How prevalent was religion in her life, and has she noticed any change over the years in terms of the general American approach?
She is a painter who lived through momentous upheavals in art, from Picasso to Duchamps to de Koening. If she was making art then, what was her experience of those shifts? What was the rise and dominance of photography and then cinema like?
I'm sure I have more, but that's probably enough. I was fortunate enough to meet my great-grandmother once, only for a few hours and with a language barrier between us, mitigated only by imperfect translation.. It still remains one of the best and most lucid conversations of my life. I envy you a great deal.

Since she was probably born in 1910, she was a kid during the FIRST World War --- what does she remember about it and the changes it brought? For instance, did any family members leave home to fight it (and any stories they might have told about their experiences), does she remember things like food conservation or scrap metal drives to support the war, how about the parades at the end when the soldiers came home?
What about her parents? What were her parents like, how and where did they live; were they (and she!) born here or immigrants (and what was that immigrant experience like). Where did she go to school, and what was that like?
Where and how did she meet your great-grandfather? How long did they know each other before they got married, and what was their first home like? How was her life affected by Prohibition and the Great Depression? Who did she cast her first vote for, and how did her husband feel about women voting?
Fashions have changed DRASTICALLY over her lifetime: after all, she was born in the era of ankle-lenght dresses! Does she have a favorite era or style? She probably married in the flapper era; how did her husband feel about the 'daring' new styles and shorter shirts?
Have lots of old photos and albums on hand when you talk to her; you can use those as both illustration of what you're asking about as well as prompts for more questions.

Yes, the stories her family told her and genealogical information! Also about changes in domestic life, along the lines of the second graf in a recent

Since you are an historian, this may be stating the obvious, but I would drag out my family history, sit down with her, and try to fill in any gaps. If there are no gaps in the factual information, I would try and flesh out some of the people that she may have known - their personalities, their interests, their traits.

My father is in his 90's, and some of the more interesting things we have talked about besides the big stuff like the Depression and WWII and the Cold War have been what it was like when they first got a radio and his favorite programs, early telephones and party lines, early cars and driving (his first car was an old Model A Ford and you could get a license without taking a test, and there were no traffic lights or many traffic signals to speak of), indoor plumbing because even if she had it growing up plenty of others did not, what it was like to cope with summer heat before air conditioning, and stories about his parents and grandparents. One of his grandfathers fought in the Civil War and told him some stories about that that were fascinating, for example. Food is another great topic and can be seasonal - so what did she have for breakfast growing up, what were Christmas or other holidays like and what did you eat, including what punch did people serve, birthday cake, etc., what pets if any did you have (my mother-in-law raised chickens and had some great stories). What kind of stove did you have (I am assuming a coal stove and coal heat probably they can be pretty quirky to deal with). My mother had stories about the ice box and ice men delivering the ice, etc. ... questions about bicycles and did she ride one, what was it like in the winter and what winter activities did you do.

I'm definitely going to make things more open-ended and let her talk about where her mind goes instead of interrogating her
I suppose it depends on her personality, but this approach was an awful failure with my elderly grandfather. We'd ask him to talk about being a medic in WWII and he'd say, "I was stationed in a hospital outside London. It wasn't very exciting." but when we asked him specific questions ("Who we're your friends over there? What was it like when the war ended?") we learned about his (probably gay) friend in the barracks who was the company tailor and custom tailored the uniforms of all his friends even though they were just enlisted men and how he and another buddy won the lottery they held to get leave on V-E day and they went down to London where everyone was running around hugging and partying.
Be specific and ask tons of follow-up questions to get the real juicy details.

Do you think the world has gotten better or worse in your lifetime, and why?
I don't think this is a very productive approach. I agree with Rock Steady: Be specific and ask tons of follow-up questions. I started recording conversations with my father along these lines and got some great stuff; unfortunately, I didn't keep it up very long (and now can't find the tapes, but that's another issue).

I've done a few oral history interviews for grad school and the biggest thing to remember is to let her talk. Our instinct is to engage people and talk with them, but most people don't get fully into storytelling mode while doing the back and forth of conversation. The
Oral History Association
has a ton of information on the how-to side of interviewing.
As to questions, the daily life stuff, what sort of things her parents taught her, what she did for fun, etc. One of the neatest random piece of an interview I had was an African American gentleman eventually talked his way into explaining how his understanding of Civil War and black soldiers changed after visiting battlefields. Basically just give her space to talk and think her way though to figuring out how her past fits into the world.

I'm always interested in the day-to-day activities. I do these for a group here and I try to get the interviewee to paint a picture of a particular period in his or her life. My goal is than in a few years from now when a twelve year old kid reads or listens to it, they can visualize what life was like, see how it compares to their life and be able to look around at their world and see how things have changed.
It can be a bit time consuming, but I start with what a particular area looked like and build with very specific questions. Try to create the scene in your mind and then start asking about what people were doing, thinking and then why the particular events were happening. If you can envision it, so can your future reader.

Along the lines of a recent anti-suicide (or is it gay pride?) campaign I'd like to know when did it get better for her? My grandfather left me with this "Everything gets easier after you turn 40" and I really hung onto that, it really helped me, although in my life it turned out to be "Everything gets better after you turn 50". Did she have a transition when everything became easier?
I'd like to know how she, herself, felt despite what economic or social upheavals were going on. Did she enjoy her thirties? Did she feel like she needed to marry by a certain time? Did she like retiring? Were here 80s different from her 90s? Was there a point when she stopped worrying about everything? Would she like to be 19 again? I'd also like to know how she went along hormone-wise - she may not want to talk about it but I think it's a good thing to pass down to women- how you dealt with different stages of reproduction. Mainly because it may follow patterns in families. For example, in my family women may have a hard time hormone-wise between 30 and 40 but then things even out and you feel better in your 40s. How did her hormones treat her? If you are right in the middle of a terrible time it may really help to know what your family history is.

Nthing asking for her specific memories, particularly pertaining to certain innovations, such as the family's first radio, TV or dishwasher. Then go off on whatever tangents - what radio program was "must" listening for her family? How did they keep cool on hot summer nights before air conditioning? (My parents slept outside on the porch in their Detroit homes in the 1940s when they were kids and the stifling humid air inside was unbearable.) What was considered very bad behavior in school - a student talking back to the teacher, or playing hookey, or....? How did she celebrate New Year's Eve once she was 21 years old and able to go out "on the town" (Prohibition had not yet been repealed that year - did she and her friends still ring in the New Year with liquor?) Did she don her finest gown and dancing shoes and stay out to all hours? What was the main topic of school-girl gossip among her friends when she was in her late teens....did girls talk about what they did with boys on dates, and did she know anyone personally who'd "gone all the way"? How old was she before her mother let her wear lipstick and other cosmetics? Did any of her friends have divorced parents?

My grandfather is 102, and at his birthday last month, my family read out the questions so that he could join
this community
through the Xprize's longevity project (note: must be born before January 3, 1913 to join - which is probably the only place you'll find
caveat on the internet). The questions are:
In the last 100 years, what invention had the most impact on your life? Why?
What was your favorite decade? Why?
What advice would you give to a high school graduate today?
What is the most important lesson you learned in your life?
What leader in the past century impressed you the most? Why?
My grandfather actually
the contract on his agreement to donate his body to science, so we're all pretty excited that they might sequence his genome, instead.

I keep linking to this weird old book on MeFi, but you might try to get ahold of
Voices of American Homemakers
. It's oral histories of women based on some interesting questions from an unusual perspective; less "tell me about WWII" and more "tell me about the invention that made the biggest difference to your home life." Washing machines didn't become widespread until the 40s, and it's difficult to grasp how much sheer domestic labor went into keeping a family washed and ironed before then, and what a change things like washers and hoovers brought about.

Ask when she got in trouble as a kid and what for. One of my grandmothers got her dad, who could not read or write, to sign a note excusing her from school. She had gone to a dance. She also was the "mom" to her siblings and didn't have indoor plumbing on the farm.
My other grandmother was divorced when it was very unusual; she also raised her kids on her own and had her own business. I was named after her aunt; in Grandmommy's words, she was an old bat. Isn't that great? Cracks me up.
Both of them are now deceased. Those are the specific topics I would have loved to learn more about if they'd been willing to talk about them.

Click Here to learn about events in your neighborhood this weekend.
The Hanna and Herbert Bauer Memorial Community Garden will host two garden events in September, both free, sponsored by Yolo County Health Services Department and open to all.
On Saturday, September 6, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., expert canner Rick Boyd will be teaching a class on preserving tomatoes from the garden. This class will cover the basics of water bath canning, making sauces and making tomato jam. Pre-registration is required by noon on September 5.
Yolo County will celebrate the garden's one-year anniversary on Friday, September 19, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The celebration will feature fresh foods from the garden, a showcase of garden successes in the past year and an opportunity to learn about the various activities and programs the garden offers. Join the garden staff, community gardeners, Yolo County leaders and community supporters for this festive event. RSVP preferred.
Come join us on Monday, September 1 at 6:00 pm in the beautiful Old City Cemetery's Historic Rose Garden for an early evening hands-on event. We will be removing spent blooms from the many rosebushes and tidying up the garden which encourages repeat blooming of the roses in our treasured Historic Rose Garden.
Tools and training will be provided and light refreshments will be served.
Workshops are free, however, donations are appreciated and go towards the restoration and preservation of the roses and cemetery artifacts.
The cemetery is located at 1000 Broadway, Sacramento. Free parking is available in the lot at 10th & Broadway, across the street from the 10th Street entrance. For more information, call 916-448-0811 or 916-264-7839.
Since November 2013, the City of West Sacramento has requested that all water customers voluntarily comply with a 20 percent reduction in water use and with water conservation measures outlined in the City's Urban Water Management Plan, Stage 2 Water Shortage Contingency.
Residents responded with merit by effectively reducing water use by 19.4 percent. However, the State continues to experience an extreme drought emergency. Therefore, further action is required on the part of all Californians.
As a result, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted emergency drought regulations which became effective July 28, 2014. These regulations prohibit certain water uses and direct the cities, including the City of West Sacramento, to implement a water shortage contingency plan that imposes mandatory restrictions on outdoor watering...

Throughout the City of West Sacramento, our landscapes are beginning to show signs of drought stress. Turf and shrubs are browning, some trees located in turf areas are browning and defoliating in response to a reduction in irrigation as required by the State mandate... Read More
This week, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors received the 2013 Yolo County Agricultural Report – an annual report which summarizes the acreage, production and gross valuation of all agricultural commodities produced in Yolo County in 2013. The total gross valuation for all agricultural commodities in 2013 was $721,636,091; an all-time high and an increase of 12.89% from 2012.
"These production figures reflect an overall higher price per unit for commodities and increases in acreage," said Yolo County Agricultural Commissioner John Young. "Field labor, processing, transporting, marketing and other farm-related services significantly multiply the value agriculture has to our county."
The City of West Sacramento, in cooperation with Yolo County Office of Emergency Services, and in partnership with emergency response agencies throughout Yolo, Sacramento and Placer counties, has implemented a state-of-the-art mass notification system to alert residents about emergency events and other important community news. The system enables officials in the three counties to provide essential information quickly, through a variety of avenues, when there is a threat to the health and safety of residents... Read More

The other day we posted several recordings from the University of North Texas' legendary One O'clock Lab Band (here), which has made a new album each year since 1966. Lab 68 featured performances by Lou Marini and Tom "Bones" Malone, familiar to many for their performance in The Blues Brothers. Another member of the Blues Brothers band was Matt "Guitar" Murphy, who you may recall was working at the Soul Food Diner with his "old lady" played by Aretha Franklin in one of the film's funniest scenes.
Murphy has one of the most impressive resumes in the industry, having joined Howlin' Wolf's band at nineteen in 1948. Now in his mid-80s, Murphy performs less but he certainly earned some rest. Over the years he has played guitar for Bobby Bland, Ike Turner, Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Otis Rush, Etta James, Sonny Boy Williamson, Memphis Slim, Chuck Berry and Joe Louis Walker!
His brother Floyd was a pretty hot blues guitarist too, performing on two Sun sides by Junior Parker and the Blue Flames ("Feelin' Good" and "Mystery Train") in 1953. Matt "Guitar" Murphy wrote a few tunes along the way, including "Matt's Guitar Boogie" and a rapid fire "Boogie Thing" for the James Cotton Band.
Remarkably, it was not until 1990 that he released his own album. Antone's, the Texas label which released Way Down South, also put together reunion session for the James Cotton Band and Memphis Slim's Houserockers. Here is the title song from his long delayed debut LP:

Today's decision by a criminal court in El Minya, Upper Egypt to uphold death sentences against 183 supporters of Mohamed Morsi, including a blind man, provides alarming evidence of the Egyptian judiciary's increasingly politicized and arbitrary attitude towards justice and the death penalty, said Amnesty International.

Chile's commitment to decriminalize abortion in cases where the pregnancy was the result of rape, the woman's life is in danger and when the foetus is not viable is a positive step forward to ensure and protect the rights of women and girls.
The secret trial of a prominent Uighur scholar on charges of "separatism" makes a mockery of China's claims to be a country based on the rule of law, Amnesty International said.
The US government must ensure that Ahmed Abu Khattalah, who is being held in secret and incommunicado detention, gets immediate and unrestricted access to a lawyer amid fears that he may be being held or interrogated in inhumane conditions.
The European Union must do everything it can to ensure Serbia addresses the culture of impunity for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, committed by Serbian police, military and paramilitary forces during the wars of the 1990s.
