I live in a community called EagleCrest Apartments located in Las Vegas NV. It use to be a great community, however there were a lot of recent changes going on that have been effecting residents here, like me. The continous staff changes that keep taking place in the office are troubling. Every month you pay rent to a new person working in the office and it makes you feel a little insecure as a resident. Especially when one of the girls named Lauren Bogart has mentioned that the property would be switching owners and they would be going through more staff changes.
This Lauren girl told me that she might not be there much longer insisting that I should give up my phone number to her, when I was just trying to pay my rent last month. She even tried to play with my head by saying she would loose my rent payment if I didn't go to a party with her. I have a girlfriend and don't need to be harraseed by anybody when I'm trying to take care of my business. [continued below]....
This Apartment Community is ghetto with a staff and management that match. I will not renew my lease here and plan on looking around in a month or two for another residence. I don't even know who the hell the office manager is at this complex except that her name is "Liz". I don't want to be bothered by this girl every month asking me to go out with her, when I pay my rent. This (idiot) Lauren might cause me to have late fees or something. I wish she would just leave me alone and get the message. If this ugly chick bothers me one more time, I swear I'm going to sue this company or bring it to the local news channel for investigation. I would not rent here! Good Luck People!

Filing Suit Against Eagle Crest Apartments
AUTHOR: Asia - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, December 29, 2013POSTED: Sunday, December 29, 2013
Please contact me if you need corroboration, (((redacted))). I'm filing suit against Eagle Crest Apartments, have statements from numerous former and current residents.
A guy attacking women continually in this complex. This guy was identified and arrested, however, after release he returned to Eagle Crest Apartments. Numerous complaints were made by the women in complex. The reply from Asst. Mgr, "we can't do nothing, he pays his rent!"
Needless to say, a number of us have moved. Most of us move here because of income, potential tenants beware...you get what you pay for!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Lauren Bogard Harassment
AUTHOR: jockstar - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 07, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, May 07, 2013
Sounds a little familiar to another story I read recently on Apartment Ratings.com about the same apartment community. You would think that that manager of this community would nip this in the bud and try to address this type of concern. This is so unprofessional! It is pretty awful for any employee to harass members of the community for personal nonsense. I'll be looking for a new place soon, thanks for the warning, I'll make sure I stay clear from these Apartments. Just find a new place to live, because she sounds like a crazy fatal attraction type. Good Luck Pal!

Why the Notorious B.I.G. Is the Most Influential Rapper of All Time
Ask any rapper who their biggest influences are and you'll probably hear the same answers across the board: Big Daddy Kane, Rakim and Kool G Rap on the East Coast, Scarface, Pimp C, and Eightball & MJG in the South, and Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg out West. But why doesn't anyone mention the most influential rapper of all time, The Notorious B.I.G.?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bree from A forsure must have Makes lines that I normally get from foundation disappear Date published: 2012-11-25 Rated 1 out of 5 by Vegin Princess from Mmm...Wont be trying this one again It came out goopy, GROSS!! Date published: 2012-11-14 Rated 5 out of 5 by Carol from Awesome Product! This product is amazing! I have lines above my nose (between my eyebrows) and I simply apply a small amount of this, and like magic, the lines are GONE! I simply can't believe how good it works! Try it you'll be amazed! I'll never stop using it! Date published: 2012-10-25 Rated 5 out of 5 by trend junkie from FILLS LINES!! This little product is amazing. Its nice for those people whom concealer just isnt enough for. I like the elf complete coverage concealer, but i find that if i smile before the powder fully sets the product, it may seep intomy fine lines i have under my eyes later on in the day. But with this product i find it REALLY fills the lines or (premature wrinkling) i have and then my undereye area is more smooth to apply concealer and powder. And even with the addition of this product to my concealer and powder i dont get a cakey look. This product is liquid, and like the hypershine glosses or liquid lipstick you have to turn the bottom of it for the liquid to dispense and you only need a small amount and i just dab it with the tip and then pat it with my finger before it dries because it does dry kind of quick. Overall this is a great addition to my undereye routine and i will purchase this for as long as they make it :D Date published: 2012-10-09 Rated 4 out of 5 by Chindian from It works! I apply this to my forehead and between my eyebrows, before applying mineral foundation, and it really does smoothe out the creases. Date published: 2012-07-08 Rated 2 out of 5 by peganan from good product, bad packaging I use this product for the crease between my eyebrows. You twist the end to force the product out, but it comes out the side of the applicator...sometimes. Other times, it doesn't come out at all. The product is great and works well, but it's frustrating, messy, and inconsistant. I have very sensitive, oily skin and have no problems with the actual product. You really get what you pay for here... Date published: 2012-04-02 Rated 5 out of 5 by Calif. Girl from love it! I am finding this to really moisturize my skin, particularly around my eyes and the lines on my forehead. I even put it in my purse and use it during the day. It is very rich and creamy, so a little goes a long way. I like this product a lot, I think it is making a difference in the appearance of my skin. Date published: 2012-04-01 Rated 2 out of 5 by MUAorlando from Not the best. I was SO excited to try this product! Unfortunately i was disappointed. I was hoping to receive a product similar to Clarins Line Smoothing Concentrate, but this product was AWFUL! First, the packaging is not right for the consistency of this product. Its way too greasy and leaks off the side when you twist the product. Second, I would NOT recommend this to any skin type other than dry. It did not sink in to my skin and just left this greasy residue on top. Once wiping away the excess though, my skin was baby soft and was smooth enough to apply foundation, liquid or powder. If this product had a little more stability in its consistency, I would rate it higher than 2 stars.

Bringing Research to Light
The Research Staff of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences includes experts in a wide variety of scientific disciplines who conduct exciting research investigations, maintain and expand the Museum's natural science Research Collections, and participate in the Museum's public education and outreach mission. Check this blog often to learn about all of the great science happening at the Museum!
It may be a mouthful to say, but Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko — partly named after its co-discoverers — made history today as the first comet to encounter and undergo synchronous orbit with a human-made spacecraft, which will eventually land on its surface, and follow it over the next several years as it nears the Sun. Known as Rosetta, this international mission is a cornerstone of the European Space Agency's Science Program. Today, it made its first rendezvous and orbit with its icy comet target.
Rosetta and comet "Chury" (for short) are locked in orbit at about 405 million km from Earth. When Rosetta lands on Chury, it will conduct scientific measurements of chemistry and physical properties on a comet nucleus, feats never before possible with the fly-by missions of the past. Solar system scientists hope that the information gained by Rosetta will unlock clues to the origin of the solar system, some of which lie hidden inside some of the most primitive, and hard to reach bodies of the solar system — the comets.
The comet will eventually pass far beyond the orbit of Jupiter, accompanied by Rosetta.
Today's feat was accompanied by new images ("Postcards") of the comet's surface, such as the one below.
You can enjoy many more of these unprecedented images here.
This is the last chapter of our story about a great egret that we gave a GPS tracking device on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in spring 2013 (see photo). We followed his movements for about 8 months and reconstructed his story with his GPS and ACC data (see parts I, II, III and IV).
This was the first time that an egret's migration has been recorded in such detail and, as you could see through this blog, we learned some quite amazing things about this bird.
Mr. Bisbing had spent his summer within the Outer Banks, breeding and raising chicks with a mate, then taking it easy in the wetlands south of Roanoke Island. As the days became shorter toward the end of September, he started becoming unsettled, and on October 24th he took off, flying south over the open ocean. He migrated all the way down to Colombia, stopping for a few days in the Bahamas, Cuba, and Jamaica.
Finally, when Mr. Bisbing arrived in Cesar Province, Colombia, our data show that he started foraging in the same routine manner detected while he was in North Carolina (Fig. 1).
Suddenly, on Dec. 8th his movements stopped. His tag was still sending data, so it must have been in a sunny location to keep powering the solar panel of our tag. It took us a few days to realize that the tag had completely stopped moving, and that Mr. Bisbing had probably died, or possibly dropped the harness off his back.
Our next challenge was to go to the site to see if there was a dead bird, and recover the tag, so that we could download the detailed data (the daily text messages from the tag to us just sent us a subset of the data) and analyze the results. We started asking around among colleagues and birders to find someone locally in Colombia who would be able to search for the tag at this the GPS location.
On March 3rd, Mr. Curtis Smalling (Director of Land Bird Conservation, Audubon North Carolina) sent a note to the group, ProAves, a Colombian bird group, asking if anyone would search for the radio-tagged egret for us. On March 20th, Dr. Matthew Godfrey (sea turtle program leader, NCWRC) informed us that he gave all the information we had provided to him to his Colombian colleague, who in turn, posted the request on the Colombian Bird Network.
On March 19th, we received an email from Magaly, who told us that she would search for the tagged bird! We found a biologist, who was willing to help us, far away in Colombia!!! She asked a few questions about the frequency of the tag and the exact GPS location, then started her search.
She found the tag exactly where we thought it was, and also the feathery remains of Mr. Bisbing in Plot No. 16 of the San Miguel, Vereda, The Navajo town of El Copey Cesar, Colombia. We are very grateful that Magaly volunteered to take her time to recover and send the tag back to the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh.
But what caused Mr. Bisbing's death? The area that he chose to forage in had been affected by an unusual summer with no rain in five months and the vegetation was very dry as evident in pictures from the area (Fig. 2).
The only water sources were man made wells for cattle. One of the farm workers (Fig. 3) reported to Magaly that he had seen the dead heron and its transmitter about two months before she arrived looking for it. He did not handle the dead bird but observed, that he "did not see any wounds on the bird".
We assume that Mr. Bisbing died of starvation and exhaustion after the long migration. He chose a foraging area that didn't provide enough food to recover from his depletion of reserves. Was he inexperienced in this area, or was it the unusual summer that turned his trip into a disaster? We will never know about this individual bird, but if we keep observing more egrets and follow their way through life, we will hopefully understand more about how and why they choose locations to spend the summer or winter, and what their preferred migration pathways are.
We have tagged other great egrets and found that they each have an individual schedule and have quite different preferences regarding foraging areas or migration routes. You can see their movements on movebank.org and find out in which areas Ms. Palma, Mrs. Newbern, Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Heller, Mr. Norvell, and Mr. Meadows preferred to live and migrate.
With the detailed observation of Mr. Bisbing, for example, we found that at least this bird preferred migrating during the night. There are only a few observations of migrating great egrets reported prior to our study, and they stated that great egrets migrate during the night. We were pleased to find that these older reports were confirmed by our study.
This new, detailed knowledge about breeding behavior, foraging preferences, migration pathways and timing, etc. will help us protect great egrets and increase their survival in our more and more urbanized environment.
You can participate and help us in these efforts, too, by using a new application called Movebank. With this app you can follow birds live in real-time, and go out in the field to find the tagged birds, take pictures and send them back via the application. So give it a try, check out the location of the closest bird, get into your car and enjoy the search.
The Story of Mr. Bisbing, Part IV: Migrating South
This is the fourth chapter in the story about a great egret that we gave a GPS tracking device on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in spring 2013 (see photo). We followed his movements for about 8 months and reconstructed his story with his GPS and ACC data (see parts I, II and III).
On October 24th at 9 p.m., Mr. Bisbing took off for his last long trip. Up to that point he had spent his summer within the Outer Banks, breeding and raising chicks with a mate, then taking it easy in the wetlands south of Roanoke Island. Everything seemed to be orderly and his daily routine was relaxed and regular. As temperatures got colder toward the end of September, he started becoming a bit unsettled. He checked out new foraging areas, drifted farther and farther south, but still returned to his roost every night. Eventually, he overcame his inhibitions and took off flying south away from the Outer Banks, over the open ocean.
During his migration, Mr. Bisbing covered a total of about 3200 km (2000 miles) (Fig. 1). He started with an impressive 22.5-hour nonstop flight (from Oct. 24th, 9 p.m. until Oct. 25th, 7:30 p.m.) from his roost south of Roanoke Island straight across the ocean to the Bahamas, where he took his first break. During this first nonstop stage he covered more that 1200 km (about 755 miles)!
But why do egrets migrate at all? Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement, often like in our case, north and south along a flyway between breeding and wintering grounds. Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality but many species of birds have to risk it because of the availability of food. Great egrets like Mr. Bisbing feed on fish and other small vertebrates such as amphibians, reptiles and mice. During winter all these vertebrates appear less abundant, because many of them hibernate. So egrets need to find foraging areas with higher abundances of their preferred food.
Timing of migration is controlled primarily by changes in day length. For navigation birds often use celestial cues from the sun and stars, the earth's magnetic field, and probably also mental maps. Mr. Bisbing flew across the ocean, during the night, so we can assume, that he had no visual orientation to navigate. Nevertheless he found his way back to a shore and foraging grounds to regain some strength. We were quite surprised to observe that when migrating, Mr. Bisbing was flying actively, flapping his wings nonstop, without soaring as birds of similar size and body shape like storks or cranes do (Fig 2).
After his first landing in the Bahamas, he rested for only 80 min before he flew farther south for another 35 min. Here, in the south of Greencastle, he found a wetland and rested for the rest of the night. He slept-in the next morning and took off at 9:40 a.m. to forage in the surroundings. But he took only one day to recover from the long and exhausting flight, spending his time resting and foraging (Fig. 3).
Why Mr. Bisbing didn't stay in Bahamas longer we will never know, but in the evening of October 26th at 8:00 p.m., he flew another 435 km (270 miles) south over the Caribbean. It took him 6 hours, and by 2 a.m. he reached the northeast coast of Cuba. He rested there for a few days in a quite regular daily pattern, as he used to do before the migration: waking up at 7 a.m. and spending the day foraging until 8 p.m., when he went to bed at his roost (Figs. 4 and 5).
Our ACC data record ends on Nov. 2nd at 1 a.m.. We were not able to download any data from the memory card during Mr. Bisbing's migration, so the ACC memory card filled up and stopped recording. From now on, we don't have any more details about his body movements, but we could still follow his regional movements, because the GPS was still working. The resolution was lower, due to the memory limitation, but we received a few points every day to follow his large scale movements.
After 20 days in Cuba, Mr. Bisbing was on the move again, migrating 400 km (about 250 miles) farther south to Jamaica on November 15th. He found a roost south of Pamphret (Fig. 6) and stayed in this area for almost two weeks, until November 27th.
The next data we received are from November 29th, and at this time, Mr. Bisbing is already in 960 km (about 600 miles) farther south in Colombia, south of Momil in Cordoba Province, where he stayed for another day. From there he flew another 212 km (133 miles) farther northeast, to Cesar Province. The GPS tells us that he arrived here on December 2nd and he stayed and foraged in this area for another couple of days – until his movements stopped on December 8th. This was the last step of his migration, indeed, the last flight of Mr. Bisbing. What happened next to our tragic hero, and how we got the tracking tag back from South America to North Carolina will be the subject of our final blog post about Mr. Bisbing the great egret.
This is the third chapter in the story about a great egret that we gave a GPS tracking device on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in spring 2013 (see photo). We followed his movements for about 8 months and reconstructed his story with his GPS and ACC data (see parts I and II).
On July 17th Mr. Bisbing got up before dawn (5:05 am to be precise) and took off for a major change in his life. Breeding season was over, his offspring were on their own by now, so he could have some fun in a maybe more diverse environment.
So he took off, flying south, along the coastline (Fig. 1). After 45 min he took his first break right behind the city of Duck at the beautiful sound. During this first stage of his trip south he covered about 32 km (20 miles). But the new area seemed not to be very interesting, at least we couldn't observe any foraging behavior in the Accelerometer (ACC) data (Fig. 2), so he took off again at 6 am and flew for another 12 min, 9 km (5.6 miles) further south. He rested again, maybe checking for some food, and as nothing interesting showed up, he kept going south. On the whole Mr. Bisbing took 6 stages to cover a distance of about 71 km (44 miles) which took him about 70 min flight time and a little over 4 hours all together.
Eventually he arrived at 9:20 am at his new home for the rest of the summer: a small island between Hog and Cedar Island in the south of Roanoke Sound.
After this long and strenuous flight Mr. Bisbing was certainly hungry and needed a meal, so he started foraging and spent the rest of the day island hopping around his new roost site, searching for food (Fig. 2). The first night was a little rough, and it took him until midnight to finally settle down and sleep calmly (Fig. 3), but from the next day on, he fell into a regular and relaxed routine.
Mr. Bisbing usually woke up around 5:40 a.m. and left his roost around 5:50 a.m., quite punctually every day. From the roost, he first flew south to the wetlands of an island west of the Oregon inlet (Island C). He spent most of the day there, but sometimes checked the wetlands east of the Bodie Island Lighthouse or east of Tommy Hammock, before he went back to his roost for the night between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. (Fig. 4).
He stayed in the area south of Roanoke Island until October 24th, but decided that another change was necessary on Sept. 27th. From that day on, he roosted 5 km (3.1 miles) farther south on Island C, west of Oregon Inlet. This was the island where he used to go foraging every day. He also changed his foraging preferences. From now on, he chose more and more often to forage south of the Inlet, an area, that he didn't use before at all (Fig. 5).
As autumn wore on and temperatures got chilly, his daily schedule became more and more irregular, and his foraging trips took him farther and farther south. He flew up to 19 km (12 miles) south from his roost to forage – a long distance for a daily routine. Perhaps this was training to get prepared for his next big adventure – a huge migration south of the Outer Banks, heading out over open ocean. Read more about it in our next post in a couple of days!
The Story of Mr. Bisbing, Part II: Fatherhood
This is part two out of five of our story about a great egret that we tagged at the Outer Banks in Spring 2013. We followed his movements for about 8 months and reconstructed his story with his GPS and ACC data (see part I).
The exact position of the lines in the ACC graph are the result of totally different behaviors, giving us clues about important events in Mr. Bisbing's life. While the motion of the bird is recorded by changes in lines on an ACC graph, the relative position of the lines to each other show the position of the bird relative to gravity. Leading up to May 19th, Mr. Bisbing would occasionally rest at night in a horizontal position, motionless, with the blue line above the green line, different from his roosting position, which was green line over blue, over red (Fig. 1).
So we concluded that this horizontal posture was actually Mr. Bisbing incubating eggs, sitting all the way down on his nest to keep them warm. This was exciting news! Our tagged bird was going to have babies!
We observed this incubation position only until May 19th, presumably the hatching date. Prior to this date, he incubated every other day or so, sometimes up to 52 hours in a row (May 13th)! Egrets take turns incubating eggs, and we could observe that Mr. Bisbing took turns with his partner because he roosted at places other than the nest.
During these first 3 weeks, from April 21st until May 19th, Mr. Bisbing foraged in two different areas. After waking up and doing his morning grooming, he flew either north, towards Swan and Johnson Islands and spent the day there foraging in the surrounding wetlands, or he flew south to forage in the wetlands west of Corolla. Once in a while he made his way along the coastline, probably searching for new foraging grounds, but always returning to his two favorite wetlands where he spent most of the daytime (see Fig.2).
Then, during the night of May 17th, something exciting seemed to happen. The GPS data show that Mr. Bisbing stayed on the nest for almost 60 hours in a row, until 6:20a.m. on May 19th. The ACC lines tell us little more details about what happened during this time (Fig. 1).
On May 17th Mr. Bisbing flew back to his nest in the evening and settled down in the incubating position. He stood up once in the middle of the night (the switch from blue over green to green over blue), probably to stretch his legs and neck. During the next day he stayed in the incubating position, but moved around quite a bit, more than during other incubating periods– was he nervous? Something seemed to bother him – was there something going on with his eggs?
But he calmed down again in the late afternoon, the lines are flat again. During the following night he switches into the roosting position, still at the nest site. Maybe he took a turn in incubating with his partner. The next morning, he incubated for another 3 hours – the last time that we observed this behavior. When he stood up again he started moving around but stayed close to his nest as the GPS data tell us. Great Egret young usually hatch one at a time, so we assume that those days were probably the time when Mr. Bisbing's chicks were hatching.
After May 19th, Mr. Bisbing changed his daily schedule. Before that day his routine was rather irregular, including long periods of rest in different places, long periods of incubating and foraging in many different areas. After May 19th, Mr. Bisbing chose the wetlands west of Corolla as his absolutely favorite foraging site. He went there in more than 90 % of the time during the next two months and he flew north only twice, towards Johnson and Swan Islands (see fig. 3).
We assume that the wetlands west of Corolla became the new preferred foraging area, because it's only half the distance compared to Swan and Johnson Islands. By choosing the closer food source, Mr. Bisbing could save time and energy, which he urgently needed to feed his offspring.
Surprisingly he left the nest all day and came back only in the evenings to help feed the chicks. Typically he took off early in the mornings, around 5:30 a.m. and came back before dusk, between 6 and 8 p.m.. This behavior is likely caused by the remote location of Monkey Island and long commuting time to get there. Long flights cost time and energy, and as Mr. Bisbing was raising his chicks he needed to budget these factors.
Another interesting fact was that he slept on Monkey Island, but at a roost away from the nest, for 12 nights in a row. Furthermore, on three occasions he didn't come back to Monkey Island for 48 hours. For a new dad, he certainly was avoiding the nursery. However, after these initial days of fatherhood, he slept at the nest in his roosting posture except for three nights. It's not quite clear to us, why he behaved this way. Maybe his wife took good care of the chicks during the night, so that he could rest and get ready for the next day's foraging trip.
Other studies have found that great egrets feed their offspring at the nest for 20-30 days, depending on the local food supply. Egret chicks start clambering from the nest after about three weeks and fly away from the colony after 1-2 months. We cannot tell from our data, when Mr. Bisbing's chicks left the nest. But we do know, exactly when he left the colony – [July 17th, 5:05am] – never to return. Find out where he went in our next blog in a few days.
How often do you see a bird flying high in the sky and wonder where it's going? Some birds make amazing migrations of many 1000s of miles – how long has that bird already been flying? How much farther does it have to go? Migratory birds must have amazing stories to tell, but we are left to imagine the details as we watch them fly overhead.
Modern technology is now revealing these stories in amazing detail – new tracking tags use GPS to record location and a 3-axis accelerometer (ACC) to record their behavior. These solar powered units work 24/7, anywhere on the globe, for the entire lifetime of an animal. Here I want to show you one example through the life and death of Mr. Bisbing.
"Mr. Bisbing" was a male Great Egret. He was a slender, good-looking guy of average size and, as we found out later, he was in a productive relationship. We met our protagonist at the Whalehead Club in Corolla, North Carolina, where we lured him into our traps with bird decoys and a bucket of fish (more in this Untamed Science video).
Once we had him in our hands we gave him a high-tech backpack a GPS and ACC tag (Figure 2). We released him on April 21st , 2013 at 11:40am, in front of the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education, and followed his every movement for the next seven and a half months, until his untimely death.
We immediately learned an important part of Mr. Bisbing's story: he had a nest on Monkey Island. The GPS data showed us that he went there every night. There's a known egret colony there, and our tagged bird was obviously a member of this group. Looking very carefully at the GPS data we realized that he used two different parts of this small island: one spot on the south that was his nest and another spot to the north where he must have gone when he needed to get out of the house (Figure 4).
The ACC sensor records 3 dimensional movement of the bird that we can use to learn about the behavior of the bird. The graph below (figure 5) shows three lines describing the bird's movements in three dimensions: up and down (blue), forward and backward (green) and right-left sway (red). Different behaviors of the bird create patterns that we can identify. In the resting position, all lines are flat. When an animal is walking, each foot-step creates a similar, but slightly delayed pattern in the blue and green. The wing-beats of a flying bird show the strongest peaks in blue. The ACC data are recorded in high resolution every 4 minutes, for 4 seconds at a time.
The following graph shows you what Mr. Bisbing's typical day looked like (Figure 6). Early in the morning, before dawn, he freshens up and goes for breakfast. In this example (May 24th) the GPS shows that he flies from his nest on Monkey Island 3.7 km (2.3 miles) to the wetlands west of Corolla. In the ACC data you can see from the width of the blue high amplitude peaks that the early morning flight away from Monkey Island and the evening flight back to Monkey Island take longer than the short flights around the wetlands during his foraging behavior. The sleeping position during the night is also easy to recognize because the bird is motionless.
Now you have met our main character and know the cool things this technology can tell us about his life. In my next post I'll dive into the details of family life on the Outer Banks.
A Solar Celebration Comes This June 22
Things are heating up this month at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. On June 22, we will participate in the first annual International Sun-Day, complete with presentations on current solar research, Sun-focused activities, and solar observing with special telescopes available to visitors throughout the day.
The Sun is our star. It warms our solar system, as we probably most clearly notice in the more tropical summer months when our part of the Earth is tilted toward the Sun. While the Sun is a relatively average-sized star compared to all the stars in the Galaxy, it is critical for our existence, and for life as we know it to thrive on this planet. Nearly 99.9 percent of the mass of the solar system is wrapped up in the Sun, making it one of the most important components of our solar system for astronomers to understand as part of a complete picture of how our solar system formed and evolved.
The Sun has been our star for roughly 4.6 billion years, and in about 5 billion more years it will expand to become a Red Giant, swallowing the Earth and other bodies in its radius, and eventually fade away.
In the meantime, as scientists are exploring far-away planets, moons and icy bodies at the edge of the solar system, we still have many unanswered questions related to our Sun, the precise details on how the solar system formed from a cloud of gas and dust, why Earth continues to be a habitable planet, while life is absent on the other rocky planets, including Earth's "twin", Venus, and how life on a planet will be affected in the long-term by its parent star.
Toward answering these and many other related questions, several missions are now studying the Sun from low-Earth orbit (altitudes between 100 and 1200 miles overhead). Solar astronomers (or, heliophysicists) are using these missions to study the Sun's magnetic field and surface details, including plasma eruptions, flares, sunspots and solar wind that can bring high-energy radiation toward the Earth, leading to space weather, potentially influencing communication satellites and astronauts on the International Space Station, with possible negative impact on human life and health.
As we are in a period of high solar activity, these missions are revealing previously unseen details related to the Sun's influence on our planet. Below is a video showing a solar eruption called a coronal mass ejection, as seen by the current space observatories: NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), and the joint ESA/NASA Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO):
Join us on June 22, 2014, for a fun-filled day of solar presentations, solar observing (weather permitting), and activities for all ages. This is also the first Sunday following our Summer Solstice — the day where the Northern Hemisphere is maximally inclined toward the Sun, marking the first day of Summer!
Remember! NEVER look at the Sun with your unprotected eyes, or with equipment that is not specifically made for observing the Sun.

Dr. Rachel Smith is an observational astronomer. She uses the Keck Observatory in infrared wavelengths to study the detailed chemistry of protoplanetary systems in our Galaxy; these are exoplanetary systems before the planets form. Her work focuses on the gas surrounding protostars — forming stars before they start burning hydrogen and helium like our Sun, and other stars far beyond our solar system. Dr. Smith uses the data from these exoplanetary systems to help fill gaps in our knowledge on how our solar system and other planetary systems form and evolve.

It's been a beautiful day outside, but what has it mattered? Trapped by
mundane work and tyrannical supervisor, the notion of escape into the
warmth of a late May day just a mere fantasy. The afternoon had
progressed, and as she watches her co-workers file out one-by-one, a
frustration mounts inside her.
As she sits are her desk, secure
in the knowledge that she is now alone on her floor, she pivots her
chair away from her desk and gazes out her window. The shadows are
lengthening – the day wasted. Ignoring the stack of work on her desk,
she closes her eyes and lets her mind wander. Leaning back, her hand
absently strokes her breasts.

My first swinger expirence
A Swingers Erotic Story Posted by ar3200 on LoveVoodoo.com
I have had many first experiences since entering the lifestyle with my husband. First time going to a swingers club, first time dancing tuples in a semi-public place, but this story is about the first cock I sucked (other than my husbands). I?LOL try not to sound like a story out of Forum magazine. Now, I am a cocksucker. That is to say that I love sucking cock. On this particular night I wore a silver and black dress made of a very sheer fabric with a handkerchief hem that was cut to the top of my right thigh. I like wearing really short skirts and dresses and the club is a place I can wear them without worrying about exposing too much.

Small Swingers Lessons - Part 10
Ready to host your first swingers party? Follow these helpful hints to ensure the night runs smoothly for you and your guests.
Get Some Experience
You really shouldn't be hosting a swinger party if you're just getting started in the swinging world. It's important that you've already had lots of experience and you've seen many scenarios.
Deciding Who to Invite
If you feel you're ready, think about your guest list. Just couples? Will you allow single men to join in? Also consider how many people you would like to attend. Remember to overbook as you will most likely have some no shows.
Create a Theme
You might want to create a theme for your party such as a masquerade or toga party. There's also a lot of seasonal themes such as Halloween and New Year's Eve. Once you've picked your themes you can enhance the evening with decorations and suitable music.
Sending Invites and Tracking RSVPs
Start by choosing date – Saturday evenings are best. Then begin inviting swingers you have already met in person or online. You can also post parties on adult dating websites. Start advertising your party at least a month in advance and remember to track your RSVPs. Consider asking guests to bring items like finger food, alcohol, condoms and towels.
Providing Food and Beverages
You'll want to provide some finger food and alcohol. You cannot charge for it without a license so if the budget is tight, ask guests to bring something. Don't place the focus too much on drinking as you probably don't want guests getting too drunk.
Draft Some Rules
Every successful swingers party has some guidelines attached to it. Ask guests to avoid getting drunk and think about banning cameras and video equipment. Make sure guests know that safe sex is mandatory and that violence and rudeness will not be tolerated.
Set the Scene
At a minimum, make sure your house is clean. If you have a hot tub or swimming pool, make sure it is clean and in good working order. Place towels nearby. All beds should have clean sheets. You might also consider creating some private areas around your home as well.
Be a Good Host
One of your jobs as host is to make sure your guests are enjoying themselves. Don't get so wrapped up in your own good time that you forget about your guests.
Learn for Next Time
You'll learn a lot from your first swingers party. Afterwards, review what worked and what didn't so you can host an even better party next time.

Small Swingers Lessons - Part 9
Although the majority of swinging will end up involving lovemaking and getting frisky with each other's partners, it isn't all about just that. Swinging is about building up the atmosphere of warmth and belonging.
Whether you are at a party with another couple or with another person for a threesome, you will be having a great time eating, drinking and chatting. To get into the comfort zone, building camaraderie with someone is essential to get down on the knees later.
Swingers can differentiate between fun and friendship. The love and companionship provided by their existing relationship is bare and transparent. There are no rough edges anywhere and they make sure of that or there may be trouble.
Thus, though swingers may have many sexual relationships, only a single emotional relationship exists. Although close friendships are formed within the community, swingers often feel nothing is more important than their own partner. The friendships and companionship among swingers strengthen the primary stem of the relationship rather than damage it.
How can Swinging help your Relationship?
Swingers lay claim that lovemaking is more intimate because they are with a partner who encourages their fantasies. The partner is so confident that jealousy is not an issue. Swingers also vouch that swinging makes infidelity less likely, as they know they can have physical contact with others with their partner's consent.
Various responses exist to those who object to swinging on the basis of faith. Many swingers feel their activities in their own homes or private clubs are not for others' justification. Others believe that as long as they consider their relationships sacred, playing does not contradict the sanctity and is consistent with spiritual values. Two additional considerations should be made when it comes to swinging. The first is that the couple defines cheating. As long as the couple have a definition and stay within their boundaries, no cheating would occur. Secondly, some argue that adultery is incongruent with the original definition.
Another common response to moral and philosophical objections is that there is a difference between physical intimacy and love. Contradictorily, this is one of the objections that religious groups have, that this distinction should not exist, meaning both physical intimacy and love should be the same physical agenda.
The Do's and Don'ts of Swinging
Be truthful and honest when you talk to your partner about your feelings. If you feel jealous of your partner, or have any other uncomfortable feelings about the whole sexual step, tell your partner. If you don't, they will only come out later and be much more awkward and damaging.
Once you get to the swingers' joint, be yourself and don't pretend to be someone else. Being friendly, good-natured and exuding a warm aura has a positive effect on everyone. Leaving your inhibitions at home, both physical and social is a must as it can interfere with your swinging pleasure.
You can't expect to get much out of a swingers' party if you aren't prepared to put much in. Stay close to your partner but not in a clingy way as it may ward off others from approaching either of you. Know your needs, interests and desires and let everyone know about them. Practice safe sex and don't go beyond limits, even if you intend to try new things.
Are you ready to swap partners?
Don't be Pushy
Invite someone you're interested in, in a clean manner and leave the decision-making to them. Don't ask them for reasons or explanations, even if it's your partner. Don't carry on your sweet talking to convince someone if they've declined. You'd only drive a nail through your relationship. Don't overindulge in alcohol. Don't take someone who isn't interested and not informed, about the actual course of the night.
Don't take a Ticket
Don't take a 'ticket' to a swingers' party (a ticket is the one who goes just to get you in and not to take part). Don't disturb the swinging pleasures of others. Don't be rude and try to cheat or lie. Don't give personal details to anyone at the party if you aren't comfortable. Don't be vague about your desires. Don't cross other people's limits.
Are you sure about this?
Swinging isn't for everyone. People need to discuss between themselves, the different factors including jealousy, self-esteem, or any relationship problems, prior to entering into the swinging lifestyle. If any of these areas are of major concern to either person, then chances are, you aren't ready to enjoy the swinging lifestyle and all of its benefits.
Why are you swinging, really?
It is to be noted that swinging is to enhance your relationship, not to repair or rebuild it. A couple receptive to new and different sexual experiences will begin to explore different avenues of shared sexual fulfillment to continue to grow together. Couples who want to find a way to reconnect physically and emotionally are more likely to make it through a swingers' party together.
It provides sexual variety, adventure, and the opportunity to live out fantasies as a couple without secrecy and deceit. But never ever join a swinging community and use that as an excuse to cheat on your partner.
Swinging, if done respectfully, can enhance your relationship by a mile. But then again, it is wicked ideas like these that make sentences like the next one appear. Do it if you want, stay away if you want, because indulgences like these really are to each their own!

N'awlins, Is Getting a Little Naughter!
LoveVoodoo.com one of the nations largest swingers web sites is relocating its offices to New Orleans starting Janurary 1st 2012
LoveVoodoo.com is on of the nations fastest growing swingers or "Lifestyle" web sites. When asked if swinging died in the 70's, Todd Crawford the owner of LoveVoodoo said."Not only did it not die, but it is everywhere! The ability to find people on the Internet has blown up the Lifestyle movement. We have over 100,000 active users in the United States alone. Our members' average age is under 35. They are typically well off, concerned about their appearance, and looking to try something new". Todd also explained that while there are plenty of blue color people involved in the Lifestyle, the top three occupations of his members, in order are 1. Teachers, 2. Doctors 3. Law Enforcement. He preferes the use of the term "The Lifestyle" as opposed to Swingers. When people hear the term "Swingers" they think about wife swapping, where "The Lifestyle" is more encompasing and includes people that are into different fetishes or that just want to be in a sexy enviroment but only be intamate with their partner. As it turns out there are hundreds of "Swingers Clubs" legally operating in the United States. Almost every state has one including Louisiana. There are "On Premise" clubs which means, members engage in sexual activities on the property. These are typically private clubs, where members pay an annual membership fee. There are also "Off Premise" clubs which means, sexual activity is not permitted on the property. This is in addition to all of the private parties that swingers have themselves.
LoveVoodoo.com is self described as a "dating site on steroids". Members can create profiles, post photos and email other members. There are also areas for, blogs, and chats. Todd wife and business partner Elena Crawford explained that not only is LoveVooDoo a great place to meet other couples involved in swinging, but it is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the Lifestyle. There is an area where swingers clubs and other members can post parties and other events. There is a section on Swinging 101, and a help section for questions people interested in the Lifestyle may have. LoveVooDoo also has a "Club Locator" that lists every swingers club in North America. All you do is enter a zip code and it returns all the clubs in the surrounding area.
In addtion to their swingers dating site, Todd & Elena also own LoveVoodooTravel.com. LoveVoodoo travel specializes in adult resorts, and cruises. We asked Todd why they decided to move their entire operation to New Orleans. He explained " Elena and I have loved New Orleans for years. We actually came to New Orleans on our second date! Personally we are big Jazz fans, and there is obviously no place better on earth for Jazz than New Orleans. Business wise we like that fact that people from all over the world visit The Big Easy! By making contact with these people here, we hope the will spread the word about LoveVoodoo & LoveVoodoo Travel when they return to their home towns. We have also found that people in New Orleans have a "Live and let Live" attutude towards life. We feel that,regaurdless if New Orlineans agree with us personally,as long as we are not hurting anyone, we are a productive members of the community, and of course pay our taxes!, that we will be welcome when we arrive".
I don't know about you, but all this information is going to make me look twice at people at my next PTA meeting! I agree with Todd, Live and Let Live! Welcome to the Big Easy!

Though obese people are at higher risk for Diabetes, not all obese people get it. According to Health Day News, a new study explains why. " Obese people are generally believed to be at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease, but a new study suggests the risk may have more to do with inflammation than extra pounds.
Researchers in Ireland report that chronic inflammation may affect the risk for heart disease and diabetes, which are caused by so-called metabolic factors including high blood sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The findings could help explain why up to 35 percent of obese people are not affected by metabolic disorders -- a phenomenon known as metabolically healthy obesity." read more [2]

The Magnificent Seven 3.30.14: The 7 Most Improved WWE Stars Since WrestleMania 29
Posted by
Mike Chin
on 03.30.2014
From Daniel Bryan and Cesaro to Bray Wyatt and more, 411's Mike Chin counts down the seven WWE stars to come the furthest since WrestleMania 29.
Wrestlemania is, without question, the biggest event on the US wrestling calendar. Pro wrestling has no off-season, thus Wrestlemania itself seems as fair a time as any to denote the end of one wrestling year, the start of another.
A lot can happen in the span of the year. While familiar faces like John Cena, Triple H, The Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar will fill featured roles at Wrestlemania 30, as they have many times before, other stars have risen over the past twelve months. This week, we take a look at the seven stars who have come the furthest this year.
#7. AJ Lee
There's an argument to be made that AJ Lee hasn't actually gained ground. After all, she stood in the corner of World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 28 and between then and Wrestlemania 29 she enjoyed a huge surge from a cult favorite among the divas to the GM of Raw and an integral player in storylines involving not just Daniel Bryan, but also CM Punk, John Cena, and finally Dolph Ziggler.
In a sense , Lee is lower profile now than she was in years past, no longer a figure in the WWE main event scene. Just the same, she graduated from quirky sidekick to a player in her own right—the dominant figure in the Divas division who, despite not being featured on the eponymous show on E!, has held onto the Divas strap for eleven months and counting, turning back challenges from The Bellas, Natalya, The Funkadactyls, and Kaitlyn. Along the way she's proven herself as far more than just a pretty face, but rather one of the premier female performers this side of The Attitude Era. Popular theory has it that Lee is just waiting for Paige to get call up from NXT—if that proves true, I can't wait for the matches to follow.
6. The Usos
I remember reading an interview about a year ago in which The Usos indicated their next goal was a match on the main card at Wrestlemania. I remember thinking to myself that the sons of Rikishi shouldn't hold their breath. I'm happy to have been proven over-skeptical in this case. Over the course of the last year, The Usos strung together a series of polished performances, many of them with The Shield, but also with The Rhodes Brothers, The Real Americans, and The New Age Outlaws. Moreover, WWE, allowed them to get over, arriving at their first Tag Team Championship in such a fashion that felt like a
on Raw.
A few months ago, I probably would have slotted Cody Rhodes or his team with Goldust for this spot, but while their luster seems to have temporarily worn away, leaving Cody in a similar spot to where he was last year, as a mid-carder on the fringe of 'Mania, The Usos have elevated over the long term and have a real chance at remaining players for a period of years to come.
#5. Big E.
A year ago, Big E. had a last name, and though he had been established as an imposing figure, he also functioned as little more than a bodyguard figure for Dolph Ziggler. The Intercontinental Championship isn't a ticket to the uppercard the way it once may have been, but it remains a vote of confidence in Big E.'s favor. With CM Punk gone indefinitely, Mark Henry demoted and on his way out, The Big Show not getting any younger, and Sheamus coming back from injury
stale, Big E. has moved up to one of the top five full-time faces in WWE. If he stays out of trouble and find his place in some sort of meaningful program, there's every reason to think he'll be on the fast track to at least flirt with the main event in the next twelve months.
#4. Cesaro
After a red hot start in WWE that saw Cesaro springboard to the US Championship, he wallowed in the lower-mid-card for months before settling into an underachieving tag team with Jack Swagger. Around that time, he re-espoused the giant swing that he had previously used on the indies, and slowly built a cult following for the impressive number of rotations he could pull off, and for managing the move on progressively larger opponents. The WWE brass seemed to take notice of the guy's momentum and skill this year, elevating him from the doldrums to a place in the upper midcard when he wound up with a spot in the 2014 Elimination Chamber match, and exceptional matches with John Cena and Randy Orton during the build (not to mention his brilliance NXT work with Sami Zayn).
While it's possible Cesaro will get lost in the shuffle, teaming with or feuding with Jack Swagger, a face turn looks increasingly likely, and with it the opportunity for Cesaro to vie with WWE's other young studs for a spot in the limelight. While it's not a shoe-in, main events featuring Cesaro and Daniel Bryan paint a bright future for the WWE's in-ring future.
#3. Roman Reigns
While I'm inclined to agree with the skeptics who say Roman Reigns has not yet demonstrated the in-ring chops to
graduate to the main event just yet, I'm also on the side of the optimists who think that he could get there in the next year or so. Better yet for Reigns's prospects, WWE has demonstrated its faith in laying the groundwork for a big push, via monster showings at Survivor Series and in the Royal Rumble Match.
The Shield seems to be making a detour into face-dom en route their break up, which is a happy enough step for the sake of keeping the awesome three-man crew intact for a little longer, and all the more so for paving a more logical progression—I can't imagine Dean Ambrose working face for long, and when he inevitably goes bad for good, he'll make a worthy stepping stone for Reigns on his journey to the top of the card.
#2. Bray Wyatt
When last he was seen on the main roster, Bray Wyatt was known as Husky Harris, "The Army Tank with a Ferrari Engine." While his potential was clear, he never graduated from his spot as a Nexus flunky.
What a difference a year can make.
Back in NXT, Wyatt cultivated the sinister, borderline demonic character we've all come to know and love. His return to the main roster was marked some of the best promotional videos in the history of WWE. While he may not be at the tip-top of in-ring workers today, he's
, and very few are better at character work. Thus, he's rightfully earned a spot toward the top of the card—beating Daniel Bryan clean at the Royal Rumble, and graduating to one of the highest honors imaginable—a worthy foe for John Cena at Wrestlemania.
Win or lose at 'Mania, there's every reason to expect Wyatt to be a main event player for the foreseeable future.
#1. Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan has kinda sorta been a main eventer for two years now. But when we remove the veneer that the World Heavyweight Championship was
as important as the WWE World Championship, we start to understand that Bryan hadn't truly arrived as a prime time player until this past year.
Wrestlemania 29 came across as a victory lap for Bryan. After losing his war with Sheamus and coming up short against CM Punk, he had overachieved to a
extent, emerging from a feud and then a tag team with Kane as a big of a star as he had ever been—Team Hell No's successful title defense against Dolph Ziggler and Big E. at the biggest show of the year came across as an affirmation of his team as an exceptional one.
This summer saw Bryan's true ascension, though. Rumor had it he would win Money in the Bank, but that proved both untrue and unnecessary as Bryan got his WWE Championship just the same, and shocked the world, beating John Cena
in the main event of the best PPV WWE has put on in years.
Sure, Bryan seemed to lose some steam in his disappointing feud to follow with Randy Orton and his wacky entanglement with Bray Wyatt. But it all seems to have worked out for the best because now Bryan is headed for what may be the biggest night of his career at Wrestlemania 30—challenging Triple H and potentially progressing to the main event.
I suspect Bryan will win his first bout next Sunday, since Randy Orton-Batista really needs a face to balance things out. I'm dubious of him taking the championship, since doing so would not only give him a Chris Jericho-esque claim of beating Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista in the same night, but also make it difficult to logically program anyone as a challenger to him. Just the same, his Wrestlemania matches stand to grant him almost-as-good returns. A war with Triple H will afford Bryan an excuse for not being at his best in the main event, and an excuse to chase Batista or Orton in the months to follow.
(An alternative bit of fantasy booking: Bryan beats Triple H but gets so badly hurt it looks like he can't compete in the main event, only to emerge mid-way through and steal the title, thus giving Batista and Orton a legitimate excuse to chase him.)
Regardless of how Wrestlemania 30 works out for Bryan, he's gone from a big star to
star of WWE over the last year, and thus there's little doubt he's the man to have come the furthest over the last year.
Who do you think enjoyed the greatest career growth over the last year? How do you think the Wrestlemania 30 main event will work out? Let us know in the comments section.

Obama's Republican Plan for the Pentagon
As might be expected, President Obama's new defense strategy and budget, which he unveiled at the Pentagon last week, was promptly condemned by many Republicans and defense hawks. Rep. Buck McKeon, the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, characterized it as "a lead from behind strategy for a left behind America" and said that "the president has packaged our retreat from the world in the guise of a new strategy to mask his divestment of our military and national defense."

Election season is in full swing and the Advocate would like to invite you to help us interview candidates for the upcoming city elections on May 12.
There will be a webcast 30-minute debate Tuesday at 1 p.m. between Josephine Soliz and Gene Rice, who are facing off for the City Council District 2 seat. If you have any questions you would like to ask these candidates, feel free to post them here. We will be taking some questions from viewers as time permits, but questions posted here before the debate begins will be given priority.
Thank you for participating and we look forward to your questions! See you online tomorrow!
