Missouri Senators Fight To Keep Operations At Table Rock Lake Open: Senators Blunt, McCaskill Co-Sponsor Bill To Alleviate Uncertainty & Protect Residents, Businesses From Government Overreach
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Roy Blunt (Mo.) and Claire McCaskill (Mo.) joined U.S. Senators John Boozman (Ark.) and Mark Pryor (Ark.) to introduce the "Corps of Engineers Cooperative Joint Management Restoration Act." The bill would reestablish earlier practices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers allowing cooperating partners managing Corps recreational facilities to keep the user fees collected and apply them to site maintenance and operations.
In September 2013, the Corps announced it had conducted a legal review of its policy regarding cooperative joint management agreements with non-profit entities for recreational sites, and had suddenly decided that cooperating nonprofits could no longer collect user fees to fund park maintenance and operations.
According to the non-profit Congressional Budget Office (CBO), this bipartisan bill will help keep many sites open that would otherwise be closed. CBO determined that, over time, this legislation is likely to prevent the closure of facilities that collect up to $2.2 million each year in recreation fees.
"As I've told the Corps during our previous meetings and discussions, area residents and businesses deserve a solution and they need it now," Blunt said. "This bill will help alleviate the continued uncertainty and ensure that Table Rock Lake stays opened for the families and businesses that live, work, and vacation there."
"This legislation will ensure that the money local families and business spend at Table Rock Lake will stay in the community," McCaskill said. "I'll continue working with Senator Blunt to make sure the Table Rock Lake provides facilities and services that the entire community can enjoy long into the future."
Additional Background:
The Ozarks Rivers Heritage Foundation (ORHF) had entered into a cooperative agreement for management of recreation sites at Table Rock Lake in Missouri in May of 2011 and extending until 2016. The operating agreement resulted in the leasing of eight campgrounds and public use areas from the Corps by ORHF.
On September 17, 2013, Blunt met with members of the Corps of Engineers Little Rock District in his office in Washington D.C. to urge the Corps to find an immediate solution for park funding operations and discuss future policy for cooperative joint management agreements with non-profits at Corps recreational sites. On September 2013, Blunt spearheaded a letter to Corps officials, co-signed by McCaskill, demanding that they take no action involving the cooperative agreement with ORHF until the Corps provides an explanation for the situation.
On September 30, 2013, Blunt and several other members sent a letter to Assistant Secretary of the Army Jo-Ellen Darcy asking for information regarding the decision making process and for potential solutions for management of Corps recreational sites. Blunt also joined his colleagues in a letter to the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) Conferees on cooperative joint management.

Today my husband came across an old email my Mom had sent to me and I had forwarded to him back in 2008. He forwarded the email back to me so I could see it again.
It was good to re-read her funny words and to mentally revisit the happy years before she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She thanked me for the book that I had ordered for her, joked with my husband about an illustration he had done and said she was looking forward to a Cowboy's game that was being played the next day. My brother Joe was at her house that day fixing new steps for her porch and she was cooking steak and gravy for supper.
On a whim, I sent an email back to Mom. I wrote in all caps, "I LOVE YOU MOM!" Then I waited to see whether it would go through. She's been gone for over three years now so I didn't imagine her AOL email would work. It didn't.
However, Outlook sent me an email titled, "Undeliverable: LOVE." There was a lot of coding and numbers to support their claim of undeliverable status. There was just no way my Mom was going to get this message of love from me:
Received: from MAIL.internal.vicad.com ([fe80::d4a6:592b:bd65:64d5]) by mail.internal.vicad.com ([fe80::d4a6:592b:bd65:64d5%10]) with mapi id 14.01.0438.000; Tue, 3 Dec 2013 15:44:42 -0600 From: Julie Zavala firstname.lastname@example.com To: "firstname.lastname@example.com" firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: LOVE Thread-Topic: LOVE Thread-Index: AQHO8HDfHvLFokqV30iOHeJ3ToPEpw== Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2013 21:44:42 +0000 Message-ID: firstname.lastname@example.com Accept-Language: en-US Content-Language: en-US X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: x-originating-ip: [192.168.57.112] Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-ID: email@example.com Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable MIME-Version: 1.0
I beg to disagree. I felt Mama's love coming through loud and clear while I was reading her email from 2008. She may be gone, but my love for HER is here and always will be. Who needs email, ha!

Scientific name: Isopogon robustus
Common name: Robust Coneflower
Synonym: Isopogon robusta
The Robust Coneflower is an open shrub and grows to 1.5 m high. Branchlets are red-brown to grey-brown in colour and minutely pubescent (clothed with soft, short hairs), and hairs are also present on leaves. Solitary flower heads are 38 mm in diameter, pink in colour and surrounded by long, narrow leaves in a cone-like formation (TSSC 2009ai). Flowers are pink and appear in September to October (Western Australia, Herbarium 2006).
The Robust Coneflower is known from a single population in the Parker Range, approximately 200 km south-west from Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, in the Avon Natural Resource Management Region (Western Australian Herbarium 2006). This species was first collected in 1994 (Gibson 2005).
In 2008, the Robust Coneflower has an area of occurrence of 2.5 ha (WA CALM 2006b; WA DEC 2008). There is insufficient data to suggest a previous decline or predict future trends (WA CALM 2006b).
Robust Coneflower's extent of occupancy is 0.0298 km². There is no data to indicate a previous decline or predict future trends. There are some known threats that, if unmitigated, may lead to a future decline (WA CALM 2006b).
The Robust Coneflower is known from a single population (WA CALM 2006b).
Since its discovery, the Robust Coneflower, and its preferred habitat, has been well surveyed. Since the 1980s, thorough regional flora and vegetation surveys have been undertaken in the eastern Goldfields Ranges, and no further subpopulations have been discovered (WA DEC 2008).
Various surveys have been made of the greenstone landforms in the Marvel Loch and Parker Range area. Greenstones are metamorphosed volcanic rocks such as basalt or tuff and generally occur in 10 km wide belts and provide specific soil types. These land forms often support unique species and communities that are restricted to those sites. They are usually high in minerals (such as gold), which is why they are often subject to intense mineral exploration (WA CALM 2006b).
The total population size for the Robust Coneflower is estimated to be approximately 203 mature plants when surveyed in October 2006 (WA DEC 2008). The following table presents subpopulation information (WA CALM 2006b):
|Survey date
|Number of mature plants
|Number of seedlings
|Number of dead plants
Not recorded
Not recorded
During the 2003 survey, it was recommended that six discrete subpopulations be recognised, however, this recommendation has not been used in later surveys. In 2003, the numbers of plants in each subpopulation were as follows: 1a, 50 plants, 1b, 60+ plants, 1c, 43 plants, 1d, 70 plants, 1e, 7 plants and 1f, 39 plants (note, this is 2003 data) (WA CALM 2006b).
As there is only a single, small population, the entire population is essential for the species recovery and long-term survival (WA CALM 2006b).
The single known population occurs on Unallocated Crown Land. The area in which the Robust Coneflower occurs (Parker Range) has a number characteristics that make it suitable for future inclusion in the reserve system (WA CALM 2006b).
Robust Coneflower occurs in very open shrubland. Associated species include White Cypress-pine (Callitris columellaris) and Broom Honey-myrtle (Melaleuca uncinata). The species occurs on a decomposing laterite shelf and grows in grey skeletal sandy loam over laterite (Western Australian Herbarium 2006).
There is very little known about the species' biology and ecology (WA CALM 2006b). The details of the Robust Coneflower's ages of sexual maturity, life expectancy and natural mortality are unknown (WA CALM 2006b).
The flowering period for this species is from September to October. The pollination biology of the species has not been studied. It is unknown if the species requires a disturbance regime to reproduce (WA CALM 2006b).
Detection of the Robust Coneflower would be optimum during its flowering period from September to October (WA CALM 2006b).
The single known population of the Robust Coneflower occurs in an area that is at risk from mining development and exploration activity. Areas of vegetation on Parker Range have been significantly impacted by mining exploration in the past (Gibson & Lyons 1998). Prior to the species being listed under the EPBC Act, the subpopulation was dissected by a drill line, however, the number of plants that have been damaged or affected by mining exploration is unknown (WA DEC 2008). If future mining exploration occurs, roads may be developed and plants can be damaged or killed and population fragmentation could occur (WA DEC 2008).
The impacts of fire on the Robust Coneflower is unknown, although it is likely that too frequent fire kills juveniles, depletes the soil seed bank and could lead to localised extinction (WA CALM 2006b).
Climate change and the associated processes such as sea level rise and increases in carbon dioxide levels are expected to affect biodiversity in Western Australia during the next few decades (WA CALM 2004). It is of particular threat to rare highly specialised species that are often already occurring in small fragmented populations (WA CALM 2004).
Minister's reason not to have a recovery plan
A recovery plan for this species is not considered to be necessary at this time as the approved conservation advice provides sufficient direction to implement priority actions and mitigate against threats (2009).
Undertaken recovery actions
The Western Australia Department of Land and Administration and mining companies with mining tenements in Parker Range have been advised of the location of the Robust Coneflower (WA CALM 2006b).
Future recovery actions
Rare flora markers should be installed at the site to reduce the risk of accidental damage/destruction from mining activity. In 2008, markers had not been installed at the subpopulation (WA DEC 2008).
Research priorities identified in the Conservation Advice for Isopogon robustus (Robust Coneflower) (TSSC 2009aj) include:
- Design and implement a monitoring program or, if appropriate, support and enhance existing programs.
- More precisely assess ecological requirements and the relative impacts of threatening processes.
- Undertake seed germination and/or vegetative propagation trials to determine the requirements for successful establishment.
- Assess ecological requirements and demographic information including the species' response to disturbance (e.g. fire).
Priority actions identified in the Conservation Advice for Isopogon robustus (Robust Coneflower) (TSSC 2009aj) include:
- Monitor the population to identify key threats.
- Monitor the progress of recovery, including the effectiveness of management actions and the need to adapt them if necessary.
- Investigate inclusion in reserve tenure if possible.
- Manage any other known, potential or emerging threats such as mineral exploration in the area where the species occurs.
- Identify appropriate intensity and interval of fire to promote seed germination.
- Where appropriate provide maps of known occurrences to local and state Rural Fire Services and seek inclusion of mitigative measures in bush fire risk management plan(s), risk register and/or operation maps.
- Raise awareness of the Robust Coneflower within the local community.
- Investigate options for linking, enhancing or establishing additional populations.
- Implement national translocation protocols (Vallee et al. 2004) if establishing additional populations is considered necessary and feasible.
- Undertake appropriate seed or germplasm collection and storage.
The Conservation Advice for Isopogon robustus (Robust Coneflower) (TSSC 2009aj) includes recovery actions for this species. A state interim recovery plan may be developed (WA CALM 2006b).
The following table lists known and perceived threats to this species. Threats are based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) threat classification version 1.1.

A message from Southern Glossary editor Ryan Sparks
The painter of a new kind of "occupational portrait" has a solo show in North Little Rock, Arkansas
Some of the South's most creative artists, working in such varied media as steam-bent wood, denim, singed paper, and fiber, are finalists for a $10,000 prize from the Gibbes Museum of Art. Read more about them and their work.
Each year the museum chooses an emerging artist or promising art school student from the Mid-South to feature in their own exhibition under the banner Brooks Introduces. The goal is to give the artist exposure and sometimes their first experience working with professional curators and dealing with a larger art-loving audience.
The entire world now has access to an incredible wealth of art and history thanks to a new initiative by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the largest art museum in the country.

Panel Discussions - Friday, May 14, 2010
Holmes: Current Humanitarian Response "Doesn't Fit the World"
"It's clearer and clearer that the current model of humanitarian response doesn't fit the world as it really exists," said John Holmes, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs during an IPI panel discussion. Mr. Holmes was referring to his organization's lack of response to some long-term humanitarian needs.
"The model is essentially one of responding to events, to triggers, which are either natural disaster—sudden onset, slow onset—or a conflict," he continued. "And I'm not saying we don't need to do that. Of course we need to do that. But if we claim to be, as we do, a needs-based responsive system, then how can we easily ignore the massive humanitarian needs that are in places where there is no obvious trigger?"
The May 14th panel discussion was based on the report "Humanitarian Horizons: A Practitioners' Guide to the Future." The report, produced by The Humanitarian Horizons Project, was derived from four research papers to help humanitarian aid agencies, the UN, and other decision makers plan for the next generation's challenges including large demographic shifts and climate change.
Mr. Holmes was joined at the table by four panelists: Dr. Peter Walker, Professor of Nutrition and Human Security and Director of the Feinstein International Center, Tufts University; Francesco Mancini, IPI Senior Fellow and Director of Research; George Rupp, CEO, International Rescue Committee; and Mark Janz, Director for Humanitarian Planning, World Vision International.
The discussion was moderated by Warren Hoge, IPI Vice President for External Relations.

Category: Rihanna
Wheelchair Jimmy Looks Thrilled To Have Nicki Minaj Rubbing Against His Emergency Brake
Nicki Minaj has been teasing the music video for "Anaconda" for what feels like FOR-EV-UR, but the sloppy silicone-injected madness finally ends tomorrow when that shit is released onto the world, and we all call in sick because human eyes haven't yet evolved to handle staring directly into Nicki's spit roasted honey garlic-glazed ass cheeks without getting a migraine. But until then, she's still teasing that mess. Yesterday she teased several images from the upcoming video on Instagram featuring a bored-as-shit Wheelchair Jimmy looking like he'd rather do a Degrassi LIVE! 40-city mall tour than get a lap dance from Nicki Minaj. He literally looks like he's afraid to get a boner and he's treating Nicki's vulcanized rubber bubble butt like a T-Rex. "If I don't move, it won't move, and she'll eventually leave."
Or maybe he was afraid Nicki would leave too much of her scent (L'eau de Fix-a-Flat and whatever it is you smell when you walk into a Frederick's of Hollywood) on his Drake Snake and his on-again off-again boo Rihanna would get jealous and tear it off with her acrylic claws. Because yeah, it seems like they're back on again. According to Radar, Princess RiRi and Wheelchair Jimmy might be back on again. They were spotted together at New York's Griffin nightclub on Monday night, which – no offense Radar – doesn't necessarily mean they're back together; it just means RiRi's blunt-hunting pussy pouch got horn-horn for that Drake dick again and she put him back into her regular rotation.
Here's RiRi on her way to meet Wheelchair Jimmy at the club on Monday night. RiRi, always thinking ahead, changed into sneakers on her way there, because she knows Drake is a stage-5 clinger and she should always be prepared to make a quick getaway if shit turns from sexy to suffocating. And also some more of Drake pulling a Sad Kanye while getting a lap dance from Nicki Minaj, because it's not as if we won't be seeing it over and over and over again tomorrow.
Rihanna Paints Her Fivehead Blue For W Magazine
Well, almost. It looks like they ran out of paint towards the end, but I'm sure any of us would make the same mistake. It's impossible to estimate how much paint you'd need to cover Rihanna's infinitely vast expanse of forehead. It's like trying to comprehend how much water is in the ocean or grains of sand on a beach; it is not meant to be known (#deep).
Rihanna is W Magazine's alien princess cover girl for September, and earlier today she revealed the cover on Twitter (insert Tobias Fünke "I'm afraid I just blue myself" joke here), as well as a bunch of pictures from the nightmare-looking photo shoot. RiRi calls it as an "Eskimo Horror Cover Story", but I'd be more inclined to describe it as "Tired Ewok prostitute from the red light district of Endor" meets "The broken condom baby of Wez from The Road Warrior and a Qallupilluit, with just a pinch of Old Gregg."
But if I didn't know this was a high-fashion photo shoot for W Magazine, I'd be sure I was looking at a deviantART picture based off some weird Twilight/True Blood crossover fan fiction (I'm guessing either a story about Jacob Black losing his virginity to a sexy shape-shifting cloud of weed smoke).
The only thing missing was RiRi's chichis. No greased-up booby balls! Someone at W must have a personal vendetta against RiRi's Balzac Brat titties, because they were buried under layers and layers of Wookiee fur in each shot. Can you even legally call it a photo shoot if RiRi's Barbadian blunt tip nips never make an appearance? I don't think you can.
Here's the rest of Rihanna looking like PETA's worst nightmare, as well RiRi posing in some Muppet-looking Balmain sweaters with the legendary Iman and bitchmaster general Naomi Campbell.

RiRi Is Probably Jay-Z's Side Piece And It's Ruining His Marriage, So Says Page Six
For what has felt like centuries, the media and Beyonce have been playing a little game of back and forth that she probably orchestrated from the beginning since her weave controls the world. The media will squirt out a story about how Bey-Z's marriage is on life support and they're only holding it together for sake of their
child brand. Then Beyonce will answer to that rumor by posting a perfect family portrait on Instagram. Rinse, repeat, blah blah blah… But now Page Six is stepping shit up and over the weekend they squatted and pooted out a 10,000 word piece titled "Inside The Crumbling Marriage of Jay-Z and Beyonce." Instead of that piece, I wish they would've explained to me in 10,000 words what kind of slutty burqa outfit (see: ab0ve) Beyonce wears in the On The Run tour, but I guess they're saving that piece for another day.
Page Six claims they talked to one source who has been deep inside Team Bey-Z for years (aka Basement Baby who called Page Six from the Campbell's soup can phone in her basement). The source didn't exactly spit up dingles that are shiny and brand new. They say that Jay-Z and Beyonce have been a business arrangement from the beginning, and she started humping his camel humps, because she knew he'd take her higher and he got with her, because he knew she'd take him higher. Beyonce's puppet strings used to be pulled by her daddy and now they're being pulled by her husband. Beyonce can't take a dump without Jay-Z popping his head in the bathroom to tell her to grunt softer and put a little more stank on it.
"There's no bigger controller than Jay. She's great, but she'd be a little lower on the totem pole if it weren't for hooking up with him. In terms of ambition, talent, business acumen and work ethic, Beyoncé and Jay Z were perfectly matched. They are solid, solid business people who know what they're doing."
The source said that Beyonce is starting to get sick of Jay-Z controlling the hard drive in her head and is slowly stepping away from him. The robot uprising is beginning! Apparently, the straw that broke Jay-Z's back has an infinityhead that is big enough to host the next Comic-Con, has a pair of alien nipples we've all seen more than we've seen our own and is named RiRi. The source said that RiRi's the real reason why Basement Baby issued a camel beat down on Jay-Z.
The source says the elevator fight after the Met Ball was really over Jay's protégé Rihanna, whom he allegedly planned to meet later that night at his 40/40 club. "Solange was like, 'Enough is enough — you must be [screwing] Rihanna,'" says the source. "To many people who know them, they know it's not out of the realm of possibility."
Finally, the source said that Beyonce and Jay-Z will put their dying marriage out of its misery eventually, but it might not happen for a while, because they want to milk as much money out of it as they can.
Today, the source says, it's not whether they'll split, but how they'll split — adding that the only time Jay and Beyoncé are really together is on stage. They're allegedly traveling with marriage counselors, but Jay — as he's always done — spends much of his time on the phone, tending to business. "His phone's constantly ringing," says the source, "Jay trying to make deal after deal." Calls to representatives for the couple by The Post were not returned.
The question now is whether to stay married while essentially living separate lives — becoming the Bill and Hillary of hip-hop — or publicly divorce. Ultimately, it will be about the brand. "There's face-saving involved — they don't want to be looked at like other celebrities out there," says the source. "They are business people first, entertainers second. Husband and wife comes somewhere down the line."
Team Bey-Z has probably been planning this gigantic, break-up stunt for years. They staged and leaked that elevator video so the media would create a tsunami of break-up rumors. They're going to ride those break-up rumors and use them for maximum publicity until the last show of their tour where they'll sign the divorce papers onstage. The sight of their Gods breaking up before their eyes will cause the BumbleBeys in the audience to collectively shake so hard that it will creative a destructive, giant sonic boom that will quickly flatten the earth. And as we all turn to dust, Jay-Z, Beyonce and Blue Ivy Carter will escape Earth in a spaceship headed to the next planet they plan to rule and destroy. In other words, this "break-up" shit is all just an Illuminati plot to destroy the world. Don't take the
bait beyt!
RiRi FINALLY Gets Into The Middle East Conflict…For A Second
We already know RiRi's stance on Instagram nipple censorship, but what everyone really wanted to know is her stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for one brief second on Twitter she shared it (or did she?).
RiRi pulled a stage 4 Dwight Howard today when for one brief second the hashtag #FREEPALESTINE was on her Twitter page until her PR people called a MAN DOWN CODE 10 situation and immediately yanked it down. But just like that depressing, gross feeling that a trick feels after sucking Charlie Sheen's dick, nothing really goes away on the Internet and her tweet had already been screen capped and passed around. Everybody was bracing themselves for RiRi to scream that she was hacked, but instead she spit out an even more ridiculous excuse that's made of bullshit and pure BITCH, PLEASE.
A source (Hi, RiRi's publicist) tells TMZ that she didn't mean to tweet support for Palestine at all. The source says that RiRi was reading about the Gaza conflict online when she clicked a link that must've tweeted this out to her 36 million followers:
Those pro-Palestine bots hiding in links on CNN will get your every time. RiRi claims that she didn't even know about the tweet until her followers started pointing it out. She hit the delete button. The source says that RiRi isn't pro-Palestine or pro-Israel. She's "pro-peace" and doesn't want "innocent people dying."
So RiRi tweeted something for controversy and then deleted it so she'd get more attention while not having to stand up for shit. Got it. Now that we got that out of the way and know that RiRi is just pro-attention, she can go back to tweeting about nipples and weed and maybe she can address some questions I really need the answers to. My questions are:
1. Does Drake really like getting his ass eaten? (Answer: Doesn't everybody?)
2. Does Drake's ass taste like maple syrup and yellow Starburst?
3. When you were eating Drake's ass and his legs started to shake, did the vibrations ricochet off of your satellite dish forehead creating a sonic boom that busted out all the windows?
I know, blogging about the conflict in Gaza and Drake getting his salad tossed in the same post. For where is my Putlizer?!?

T-Boz Wasn't Hating On RiRi's Nipples, Okay?
TLC got served a giant plate of Twitter shade from RiRi last week when T-Boz said during an interview with Australian morning show Sunrise that sex is very easy to sell and she's sick of seeing pop stars with their "booby cakes" hanging out all the time. Sunrise claims that T-Boz was talking about RiRi and RiRi's nipples, which has made an appearance on your eyeballs more than your own nipples have. RiRi slapped back at TLC by changing her Twatter background to a picture of T-Boz covering her booby cakes with a hand bra. Well, T-Boz has jumped on her Big Wheels and is back pedaling now. T-Boz said on Twatter that she wasn't even talking about RiRi's alien nipples and those media bitches made it all up to start something. What I learned while reading T-Boz's Twatter is that T-Boz types and spells like a 12-year-old whose got a serious case of arthritis of the fingers and just huffed all the freon out of an air conditioning unit. What I'm trying to say is that T-Boz tweets like Justin Bieber.
Last time I checked I didn't say no bodies name the interview lady did shit I'm out of the country lol I didn't even see pics
how did I get dragged in2 talkin about some1 I like I don't care what my opinion is I'm gonna say what I want at least get what I say right
Lol I swear when some of their mamas whipped after sex apart of the sperm must of got whipped cuz their not whole y'all can catch bricks
See & this why it's terrible 2 be a follower lol ya hear the wrong thing & they run with it & don't even know wtf their talking about smh
Looks like folks need 2 research I didn't see a show or pics I'm in Australia if 1 person says something they run with it not knowing smh
"I'm out of the country and didn't even see the pics" is a really good excuse. Because we all know that Australia is practically Antarctica and they've got no WiFi and barely any electricity. Bitch, please. Those pictures were broadcast everywhere including on the side of the Sydney Opera House. Everyone has seen RiRi's nipples and that's exactly what T-Boz was talking about. T-Boz is probably backtracking, because she's sick of her eyes crossing while reading crazy, incoherent, hate-filled tweets that RiRi's rabid navy sends her and when T-Boz thinks your spelling and typing is shit…
Here's a covered up RiRi (MARK THIS DAY) at the Spike TV Awards yesterday accepting some antler trophy from Kevin Hart who can easily have an eye-to-eye conversation with her nipples.

TLC Talks Shit About RiRi, RiRi Talks Shit Right Back
TLC, the modest and chaste Christian musical group who had a wholesome hit song about eating that pussy while on the rag shook their heads at RiRi for constantly using sex and her bare alien nipples to sell her music. During an interview with the Australian talk show Sunrise on Channel 7 (via Entertainmentwise), the topic of RiRi's always out there nipples came up and T-Boz said this:
"Every time I see you, you don't have to be naked. It's easy to sell sex. It's hard for us to say anything because any time we do, they say, 'Oh TLC must be jealous', but I call a spade a spade."
Chilli jumped in and added that they got to the top without putting their "booby cakes" on display and now I suddenly want to put my mouth on a marzipan nip:
"We became the biggest girl selling group of all time with our clothes on and that says a lot. We could go around too with booby cakes out all day long."
Just like her nipples, RiRi doesn't keep her opinions about hos hating on her to herself. RiRi clapped back at T-Boz and Chilli by changing her Twitter background to a picture of T-Boz giving herself hand pasties.
And by twatting out this:
First of all, T-Boz needs to shut the hell up, because she's shitting out lies and doesn't know what she's talking about. Sure it might've been easy for her to sell sex back in the day and it's easy for RiRi to sell sex today, but it's not easy for everyone to sell sex. Every time I try to sell sex (and at a good price, mind you), the only thing I get is a handful of lung chunks from my prospective john laughing at me trying to get some money for this worn out ass. So fuck yourself with those side-burn tails, T-Boz. Second of all, RiRi doesn't need to use her nipples to sell her music. Her naturally gorgeous nightingale voice already does a good job of that:
So take that, T-Boz!
Scout Willis Approves!
RiRi knows that it's been approximately 45 seconds since we've seen her alien nipples and that's way too long, so she brought the #FREETHENIPPLE movement to the CFDA Awards in NYC tonight by wearing tons of fucking sparkles, a stole made out of Poochie and not much else. Bitch is giving me headline stripper Josephine Baker. I love it, because it's an elegant ensemble that can easily take you from the stroll to cocktails with THE QUEEN, it's covered in crystals (and my gay eyes jizz for crystals) and she almost reached the high levels of demureness and sophistication that Rose McGowan reached at the VMAs a million years ago.
And Miley Cyrus has been challenged. Expect Miley to show up to the Frederick's of Hollywood Awards held in the parking lot of a strip mall in Florida wearing nothing but exquisite Lucite heels and a beaded tampon string hanging out of her twat.
Because He Has Nothing Better To Do, Charlie Sheen Got Into A Twitter Fight With RiRi Today
Charlie Sheen, society's insane meth-smoking human bedbug, decided to celebrate going a week without chugging from the old bottle of Mr. Bubble under the sink by taking his porn star fiancé Brett Rossi out for a nice dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica Wednesday night. While there, Charlie and Brett noticed that Rihanna was also having dinner at Giorgio Baldi. According to Charlie (so take this with both a grain of salt and a shot of penicillin) he sent a request over to RiRi asking if he could introduce his fiancé, who happens to be a huge fan. RiRi replies by politely declining, saying there were too many paps and it wasn't possible at that time.
This is fine by Charlie, since he claims that meeting RiRi "would have been 84 interminable seconds of chugging Draino and "please kill me now" that I'd never get back" (whatever the hell that means) but not meeting RiRi made Brett Rossi a sad porno panda, so the second they got home he took to Twitter with a delicious bottle of Drano and gave RiRi a piece of his mind. Unless you have an hour to kill and a copy of Rosetta Stone Crackhead, don't bother attempting to read Charlie's next-level bonkers Twitter rant. Here are the highlights:
"Sorry we're not KOOL enough to warrant a blessing from the Princess (or in this case the Village idiot)"
"See ya on the way down (we always do) and actually, it was a pleasure NOT meeting you"
"I'm guessing you needed those precious 84 seconds to situate that bad wig before you left the restaurant"
He also pulled out that classic joke about Halloween not being for another couple of months (good one, Dad) and reminded her that the reason he's been around for 31 years is because he always makes time to meet with people. Really? It's not because cockroaches are notoriously difficult to get rid of?
But because RiRi's brain was replaced with a half-smoked joint floating in a puddle of stripper booty sweat a long time ago, she decided to fan the crackpipe fires by Photoshopping a pic of her signing an autograph for Charlie Sheen and using it as the background image for her Twitter account (#girlyouneedtogetalife) and tweeting the following:
If that old queen don't get ha diapers out of a bunch…
— Rihanna (@rihanna) May 22, 2014
"That old queen?" Sounds like someone follows Alec Baldwin on Twitter. I'm surprised she didn't follow that up with a tweet calling him a rude thoughtless little pig (it's not too late RiRi!)
This Is The Look: RiRi's Cotton Candy Wig And Hard Nips
A sequined butterfly disco top really would've taken this look to the upper echelons of class.
Since RiRi's single now and is done with putting skid marks on the floor from fucking on Wheelchair Jimmy in his chair, she threw one of Nicki Minaj's merkins on top of her head, dipped her nipples in a bowl of ice to get them nice and hard, threw on a white tank top and took her ass to the Thunder vs. Clippers game at the Staples Center in L.A. last night. RiRi looks like a Hunts Point ho who lures prospective johns to her corner by twerking on cars and is always bragging about how the other hoookers are jealous of her because she looks like a black Pink and because she gives the best handjob on the block. That wig looks like flattened cotton candy, but it does her face good.
And in related news, an animal hospital ambulance was called to the mansion of Donald Sterling after that evil amphibian choked on his own lizard tongue after seeing black people sitting courtside at a Clippers game. I wish RiRi would've texted him from her courtside seat and asked him if he wanted to play some golf.
RiRi Is No Longer Grinding On Wheelchair Jimmy's Emergency Brake
If you own a company that makes Kleenex, maple syrup ice cream, or Boys on the Side DVDs, go ahead and order 3 Golden Corral chocolate wonderfalls for the company Christmas party, because it's about to be a very good week for you. According to Us Weekly, Wheelchair Jimmy aka Ms. Drake if you're nasty is laying on the couch in his Toronto Raptors Snuggie, eating ice cream from the tub with his bare hands and bursting into tears every time he sees a commercial for Zales, because he and RiRi are OVAH. Someone better call Canada and tell them to put the Queen back on the loonie; it looks like there won't be a Canadian Princess after all.
"Rihanna and Drake had another fight," a source tells Us. "He is too in love with her, which has always been the problem. They have been fighting, but that could all change any day now. It is how it always is with them."
The love that blossomed between the lukewarm bowl of Red River (aka Canada's oatmeal) and the horny Barbadian blunt-puffer began but a mere three months ago, and already it has been taken out back and given the Old Yeller treatment for the same reason it ended the first time: Wheelchair Jimmy was organizing all the R+WJ monogrammed items in his hope chest while RiRi's pussy lips were texting every contact in her phone "Yo, u awake? Mi hornee".
Goddamnit, when is Drake going to learn you can't tame a true blue slut! Rihanna doesn't want to stay at home watching 7th Heaven on Netflix while you rub her feet and ask her if she's had a tough day; she wants to roll around in a pile of strippers and air out her b-hole in French magazines and to hey-hey-hey-hey smoke weed everyday. She doesn't want to be the Princess of Canada, she wants to be the Duchess of Sucking the Dirty D. Deal with it, Jimmy Brooks.

Nineteen members of the Garden Club of Elizabethtown held their September 1st meeting at Yew Dell Gardens in Oldham County. This Kentucky treasure was started in 1941 when 34 acres were bought by Theodore Klein to raise his family and begin a working farm and commercial nursery. Klein was one of the leaders of this regions nursery and landscape industries. He introduced more than 60 new plant varieties as well as being a self-taught artisan who personally crafted the buildings and gardens that are seen today.
Mark A Kopp, associate superintendent of instructional services of Hardin County Schools, was the speaker at the Radcliff Woman's Club Sept. 12 meeting.

England vs Costa Rica
Today we watched England get officially knocked out of the world cup by Costa Rica - in Costa Rica! The locals were brilliant and cheered everything - even if their team missed or kicked the ball offside! Their draw meant that CR finished top of our group so everyone was very happy with the result. After lunch and some hammock time we got a bus to San Jose, which we luckily all got double seats on so managed to sleep away most of the journey! In San Jose we got ...
Love la Pura Vida
... Rica.
I made it back to San Jose and now that it was over a week since my injury, I made the bold move to abandon one of the crutches and limp around with one. Richie, who I had travelled with in Honduras and Nicaragua, was in San Jose and took me out. For the next two days, I essentially ate only chocolate cake, which was justified because I had a sore ankle.
My flight from Panama was the next day and so I went to the bus station to get a ticket for the over ...

Into the heart of Costa Rica
... A lot of old zinc metal roofing and siding in evidence. I had trouble with the traffic, as there is no regulation at all of motor cycles, scooters and other motorized two wheelers. I usually behave like a car in traffic, sitting placidly in the lane with my two big saddlebags on the back. I was constantly accosted by smaller bikes zooming in on one side or the other between the lanes (or in the oncoming ...

They have it set up well for eco-tourism too as only a tiny sliver of the jungle is open for exploration. 95% of it remains proper, dense, unexplored jungle where you need a folders worth of legal papers to allow you to do research. In this area, a couple of tribes still live, completely untouched by the outside world. ...

Next weekend, the Intelligentsia in Pasadena (which also has an alcohol license) will be hosting a one-of-a-kind event centered around the growing combinations of coffee and craft beer and the ways in which booze and caffeine are working together to create new culinary intersections.
Spearheaded by Intelligentsia's Marketing and Communications Director Stephen Morrisey and his good buddy Michael Kiser of Good Beer Hunting, the event -- called "Uppers and Downers" -- will showcase brewers from some of the Midwest's most famous names (think 3 Floyds and Goose Island) in a roundtable discussion with some of Southern California's local coffee beer creators.
Beers with a jolt by Eagle Rock, Angel City and Stone Brewing will all be on tap as well as a special version of Firestone Walker's Parabola made with Intelligentsia coffee called Parabajava. The goal after the event is to always have beers made with coffee available (whether they're made with Intelligentsia or not), and turn the Pasadena location into the brick-and-mortar home to the trend where they can showcase what other breweries are doing around the country.
Morrissey, a major craft beer fan himself, calls it "the morning one and the evening one --we're just passing along the dopamine."Squid Ink: Are you the resident beer geek at Intelligentsia?
Stephen Morrisey: I'm Irish and when I moved here four years ago for Intelligentsia, people thought I would know about beer. But in Ireland, everyone drinks the American macro lagers so when I came to the States, craft beer was very new to me. Let's just say I got a crash course where I tried to familiarize myself with beer.
SI: And the Goose Island Brewery is right next to your roaster in Chicago, right?
SM: Yeah, the impetus for the event was us seeing the coffee version of Bourbon County and then you also have Dark Lord from 3 Floyds out here as well. These two beers are known throughout the country and both have intelligentsia coffee. We became conscious that this trend is mounting more and more.
I feel like every new craft roaster seems to be pairing with a craft brewery and playing with these things. It sparked some interest in my friend Michael Kiser, who runs Good Beer Hunting, and we wondered, "Is this some novelty treatment of coffee in the same way people use coriander or grapefruit rind?" We think it's something more culinary with more opportunities. We wanted to have a discussion to bring beers together and bring brewers together and have a discussion.
SI: Was L.A. chosen because of the Pasadena location?
SM: It's because we have a location that's perfect for it. We have a coffee shop that is also a bar. Also because of those two beers especially: It's a rarity to get them outside of Illinois and Indiana, so it's a novelty to bring them to an L.A. audience.
SI: It's also a novelty to hold a discussion about coffee beer.
SM: Yeah, the two I mentioned -- Dark Lord and Bourbon County -- are both stouts. You don't see an awful lot of people playing with IPAs or lagers or witbiers and using more floral coffees and finding ways of highlighting those qualities. We've worked with Eagle Rock since we came out to L.A. And so their goal from the beginning has been not just use the roasty coffee flavor, but to highlight the inherent flavors of the coffee and pair that with the beer. We're looking to find more people doing these types of things. I don't think we have a sense there's a certain answer to this, but more that it deserves discussion.
SI: Do you see the specialty coffee trend growing alongside craft beer? Are the two similar movements in the eyes of coffee people?
